Diabetes educators are health professionals, such as doctors,
nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, exercise specialists, and social workers, who
specialize in the treatment of people who have diabetes.
Diabetes educators teach about nutrition, exercise, medicine,
blood sugar monitoring, and emotional adjustment to diabetes. They work in a
variety of settings, such as hospitals, doctor's offices, nursing homes, and
neighborhood clinics. They may teach people in groups or individually.
Certified diabetes educators (CDEs) are licensed in their
professional fields in the states in which they practice. Most are certified by

Gear Review
My wife loved them...
As beginner climbers, I wanted to give my wife some decent shoes. The first I ordered were a little on the small side so I exchanged them for a size up. If you are interested in these, I would definatly buy up a size. When we got the second pair we went right to our neighborhood indoor rock gym. From a novice point of view, these shoes were more than sufficient and I would recommend them.

|Season 7
Episode 16
|Directed by

|Written by
|Robert Padnick
|Production code
|Original air date
|February 10, 2011
"PDA" is the sixteenth episode of seventh season of the American comedy television series The Office and the show's 142nd episode overall. Written by Robert Padnick and directed by series creator Greg Daniels, the episode was shown on February 10, 2011, on NBC. This episode received positive reviews and was nominated for the Writers Guild of America Award for Television: Episodic Comedy.
It is Valentine's Day, Michael and Holly have started dating again, and their public displays of affection start to make everyone in the office uncomfortable, despite the fact they are all happy for the couple. Gabe holds a meeting about PDA, saying that Sabre is tolerant of office relationships, but not PDA, pointing the finger at Michael and Holly (who are shocked that the PDA meeting is about them). They both agree to stop, but while Holly follows through, Michael can't help himself. Michael then declares to the office that he genuinely loves Holly, who is at first taken aback, but then reciprocates. When Michael and Holly make a scene complaining about not being able to touch each other, Gabe reprimands them, suggesting that they are acting this way to have a full on relationship before Toby returns from jury duty, which would send Holly back to Nashua. Michael then becomes worried that they will have to break up again, but Holly assures him that they can make it work. Michael points out that they broke up the last time because of that and can't see Holly for the rest of the day. Michael then confronts Holly to tell her that he is breaking up with her. Holly, however, says that they should decide for themselves and not let the company decide their future. They both resolve to move in together and announce it to the office.
Jim and Pam have too much champagne during lunch, causing complications when they have to return to work. During the PDA meeting, Dwight mentions a list of people who have had sex in the workplace, and Jim and Pam (along with Kevin) are not mentioned. Due to their intoxication, they both agree to give it a try, but they have a hard time finding a place to do it, from hidden places in the warehouse to Ryan's closet. They eventually return from an undisclosed location with ruffled hair and wrinkled clothing. The two tell the interviewers that they left for a walk, but Pam smirks at the camera as the scene ends.
Andy tags along on a romantic treasure hunt Gabe has made for Erin, despite the fact that he is dating a friend of Darryl's named Rachel, who was the only other Caucasian at one of Darryl's parties. Andy is at first reluctant but relents at Erin's friendly urging. The hunt starts with a puzzle picture, which leads to Gabe's stereo in Darryl's office, which leads to glow in the dark stars in Ryan's closet, leading to sparkling cider with Hank the security guard, and finally to a Valentine's cookie in the break room. When the cookie tells her to enjoy her Valentine's kiss, Erin thinks she's supposed to kiss Andy. Andy points out Gabe blowing a kiss through the window and leaves awkwardly.
This episode was written by Robert Padnick, his first writing credit of the series. It was directed by Greg Daniels, developer of the U.S. version, his twelfth directing credit of the series. Beginning with this episode, writer and, cast member B. J. Novak was promoted to an executive producer, he previously was a co-executive producer. Also, Warren Lieberstein and Halsted Sullivan were promoted from producers to supervising producers.
In its original American broadcast on February 10, 2011, "PDA" was viewed by an estimated 6.90 million viewers and received a 3.5 rating/9% share among adults between the ages of 18 and 49.[2] This means that it was seen by 3.5% of all 18- to 49-year-olds, and 9% of all 18- to 49-year-olds watching television at the time of the broadcast. This marked a slight drop in the ratings from the previous episode, "The Search".[2][3]
For his work on this episode, Robert Padnick was nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award for Episodic Comedy.

Clean hotel, comfortable bed, good breakfast, nice pantry.
Great Stay Close to Cracker Barrel!!!
July 03, 2015
When I arrived I received a comfortable room for a great price and had a relaxing stay for my last night in Indiana. We had to catch a plane the next morning and just hung around and swam in the outdoor pool (my 5 year old granddaughter and I). Some friends from in town came by to have dinner with us and we walked to the Cracker Barrel (our favorite restaurant). When we came back we used the laundry area and dried our clothing so we could pack and be on our way in the morning. While we did our laundry we sat in the very comfortable common area and played some board games. We were not able to eat at the breakfast buffet in the morning, but they did make sure we had some cookies and fruit to take to the airport with us. The stay was short but nice. We will definitely return.
Great place to stay

Check in was easy, room was nice and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast was well provided. Checkout was quick and easy. Cost of stay was very reasonable and within budget.
Best Hotel!!!

Kentucky beats Louisville to advance to Monday's title game
Mar 31, 2012, 8:27 PM EDT
One of the most-anticipated games in the history of the Kentucky/Louisville series provided the expected result in the end.
Behind 18 points, 14 rebounds and five blocked shots from Anthony Davis, No. 1 seed Kentucky (37-2) advanced to Monday's national title game with a 69-61 win over No. 4 seed Louisville.
Peyton Siva led the Cardinals (30-10) with 11 points and Chane Behanan added ten points and eight rebounds, but it wasn't enough as the Wildcats were able to pull away down the stretch.
Kentucky led by as many as 13 points early in the second half and had the look of a team poised to blow things open.
But Louisville refused to go away, and with Siva and Gorgui Dieng playing better the Cardinals were able to tie the game at 49 with 9:13 remaining.
Dieng finished with seven points, 12 rebounds and four blocks, and as a team Louisville grabbed 16 offensive rebounds.
However Kentucky would answer with an 11-2 run, taking a 60-51 lead on a pair of Darius Miller free throws with 4:29 to go.
Kentucky made up for the rebounding issues by shooting 58% from the field, which is the highest a Louisville opponent has shot from the field this season.
The biggest problem for Louisville however was their offensive work in the paint, as they missed 16 dunks and layups against Kentucky. Make enough of those and there's a chance that it's Louisville advancing.
But some credit for that should go to the Kentucky defense, as they limited the Cardinals to 35% shooting.
"You have to either throw it out and get an easy shot or you have to finish," said Pitino when asked about how to deal with a shot-blocker like Davis. "We didn't finish inside. We kept missing inside."
With Davis, Terrence Jones and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to contend with, it comes as no surprise that simple shots are so difficult to make against Kentucky.
Kentucky won the regular season meeting 69-62 in Lexington on New Year's Eve, and they set a school record for wins in a single season with their win on Saturday night.

This summer's movie lineup is afflicted with sequels, and "28 Weeks Later" is one of the more virulent strains.
The follow-up to the 2002 disease-cum-zombie cult favorite "28 Days Later" has been stripped of the real-world urgencies that made the first film compelling and fitted with a more commercial horror-movie prosthesis.
Producer Andrew Macdonald and some of the technical crew from the first film remain. And Danny Boyle, who directed the original, reportedly directed some second unit scenes.
But this is director and co-writer Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's first feature film since his eerie 2001Spanish-language debut "Intacto." And while technically solid, his focus on effects and action comes at the expense of creating engaging characters and meaningful situations.
Fresnadillo's stylish hyperbole is no match for the hell-in-a-handbasket sensibility of the first film, whose appearance shortly after Sept. 11 and the Iraq buildup made its apocalyptic subtext too plausible to be taken lightly, and whose dollop of style and wit came courtesy of screenwriter Alex Garland and Boyle, who also directed "Trainspotting" and "Millions."
At first, the timeline of the sequel is parallel to that of the original, with "us in here and them out there." "Us" are a small band of survivors, including Robert Carlyle, and "them" are the friends and family who have become infected with a manmade disease called the rage. Unleashed in the first film by laboratory experiments run amok, the rage turns its victims into flesh-eating zombies.
In the sequel's ominous calm-before-the-storm opening scenes, the survivors make supper and strained small talk by candlelight before being attacked in a kinetically bloody sequence, causing the cowardly Carlyle to flee without helping his wife.
Fast-forward the 28 weeks of the title, and the zombies are dead, the plague is dormant and order of a sort has been restored in a repopulated "green zone."
Security is maintained by an American-led NATO force. They guard the airport; the rooftops are lined with snipers and helicopters patrol the skies. It is illegal to travel outside the green zone and into the corpse-strewn city. And when Carlyle's children go there to retrieve family photos from their former home, they set in motion events that revive the plague.
And the first infected is Carlyle.
To stop its spread, the military launches a massacre in the green zone - giving new meaning to the term "friendly fire" - in burn-the-village-to-save-the-village fashion. And while the result is a splatter-fest, it is not as clinically graphic as it could have been, since Fresnadillo's synaptic stutter obscures as much as it reveals. He also advances the franchise to the point where sequels set 28 months and 28 years later are feasible, if not likely.
But anyone looking for a current-events metaphor will only find a dispiriting portrait of urban warfare, and the, perhaps false, hope of the original being demoted to no hope at all.

The ninth son of Jacob and the progenitor of the tribe of Israel carrying his name. The boundaries of the tribe lay in the north of Manasseh and west of the Jordan River. Issachar's people were noted for their accomplishments in the field of commerce. Jacob spoke prophetically of his son thus: "He bowed his shoulders for the load, he became a slave to forced labor" (Genesis 49:15). It is significant that the name Issachar means "hired laborer."

Soapstone vs Firebrick - Updated with new info.
It looks like the Soapstone and Firebrick weight is almost identical per volume. The thermal properties of Soapstone and Firebrick differ in two ways. First the Thermal Capacity of brick, not specifically firebrick, is about 85% of Soapstone. Secondly; Brick transfers heat slower than Soapstone, seemingly at 1/6 the speed. This higher transfer rate can be thought of like the R-Value rating of insulation. My guess is that what this means for the WFO and Pizza Stones is that the Soapstone will heat faster, cook pizza faster, even out temperatures within the oven faster and cool faster. I would guess that an oven with a Soapstone floor would benefit from more sub-floor insulation than a typical Firebrick floor oven.
Thermal Capacity
Brick 0.840 Cp J/(gK)
Soapstone 0.98
This information was found at; Wikipedia "Specific heat capacity of building materials" and Tulikivi.com "The characteristics of soapstone"

Re: Soapstone vs Firebrick ??
One other huge difference when comparing the two is durability. Soapstone is very soft and scratches easily. This pretty much rules out metal utensils. I'm not even certain soapstone could handle a typical brass brush.
Soapstone's superior conductivity and thermal indestructibility make it the Rolls Royce of home oven pizza stones (using wooden peels), but, for the potentially more abrasive environment of a WFO, at this point, there's a few logistical kinks to work out.
I'm presently building a WF soapstone oven, so I'm in the process of working these kinks out as we speak.
Re: Soapstone vs Firebrick ??
I think you'll find that the brush isn't a problem with your Soapstone. As it's been presented to me, the darker more homogeneous stone is what you want in high temp environments, like ovens. Soapstone is not a single mineral but a mixture of minerals and it varies greatly in hardness because of the Serpentine and Talc that are the greatest components of Soapstone. The reason you want the darker more homogeneous stone is because although the lighter component of Soapstone, the Talc, can handle the heat, the expansion difference between the Serpentine and the Talc will ultimately crack the softer Talc, and because of the hardness difference of the darker Serpentine I don't think you'll find that the brass brush is any problem at all. I also think one of the reasons we use wire brushes is the because of the texture and absorbency of the firebrick. Soapstone is much less prone to holding onto spills, ambers and ash.
I think that the heat conductivity of Soapstone makes some design changes to the typical WFO beneficial. My opinion is that the sub-floor insulation should be beefed up and that some sort of thermal break should also be designed in at the entry door area.
Additionally, the amount of thermal capacity, heat storage, that the Soapstone offers is of course related to the thickness of the stone installed. Soapstone is available in firebrick dimensions and in larger slabs but most commonly it's available in 2 and 3cm thicknesses. These most common sizes provide approximately ½ the amount of thermal storage of firebrick. My question is, if the 3cm material is installed rather than firebrick, how important is this heat storage difference? I haven't mulled this through completely at this point.
I have to say that firebrick isn't the ideal material for the entry area because of the inevitable staining that happens here. Stone is a much better match for the entry in my opinion. Granite or Soapstone or some other nonporous material seems to make better sense in the entry area.

Great bit of research on soapstone vs firebrick. I don't think you have to worry about stains on the inside of your oven. At the temps we are working the oven is self cleaning fire brick or soapstone. I think the smooth texture of the soapstone would be a nice working surface inside the oven. The thermal properties all seem to work in the soapstone's favor except the added insulation required (good observation). That is a big difference in thermal conductivity.....6X. That should really add to your oven spring. Watch out for charring on the bottom. You can always hold the pizza closer to the dome to finish it off.

Re: Soapstone vs Firebrick ??
I had a stone cut to size to put in my gas range and can attest to the "oven spring" aspect. I replaced an aged Trader Joe's pizza stone and cleared out some "jury rigged" porcelain tile. Most of this junk was meant to provide mass and buffer the internal oven temps, and they did. I have to say that the 3cm stone really changes the personality of this oven for the better. It seems like the oven has a quicker recovery to temp time and that seems logical given the greater T. mass and higher T. conductivity.
I wouldn't want to say that a standard oven could compete with the WFO, these are very different creatures. What I will say is that today's standard ovens have been diluted over time to be barely acceptable and the additional mass that this stone goes a long way to bringing my standard oven back in line.
As for the above numbers, it's hard to divine exactly what they mean. How fast can the pizza dough or bread or whatever take up the additional heat transfer the Soapstone can provide? How much difference does the thermal capacity of 3cm SStone vs Firebrick really make in our WFOs? What exact material was measured and how does that relate to what we're using?
Re: Soapstone vs Firebrick ??
I think those numbers are close enough for our mental gymnastics. The heat capacity of soapstone is 14% higher than firebrick. So you are able to store more energy (by weight) in soapstone than you are in firebrick. That's a good thing.
Were you planning to put firebrick under the soapstone then insulation? If installed that way you reduce the thermal conductivity to that of the firebrick. Cause the soapstone cannot loose heat, to the outside, faster than the firebrick. The firebrick is a heat stop of sorts. I think you get the best of both worlds with that configuration.

Re: Soapstone vs Firebrick ??
At this point I have SStone in the entry area of the WFO. I really like the non-stick and stainless properties of the material. I'm not so wild about the blue cast. This is really an aesthetic rather than functional thing. If the area had some complementary color in the area, I'd be fine with it, but my area colors really run toward the reds and browns. I have felt since I put the SStone in that the efficiency of the oven was somehow less than the measurements I had early on, but I couldn't, didn't have the measurements.
I'll swap the entry for the same Granite I'm using on the surrounding work surfaces. I would have gone directly to Granite, but I didn't have a good feel for the ability of Granite to hold up in the entry. At this point I feel like, what do I have to lose?
In the oven, if I go to SStone, this is not a given, I'd add an inch of rigid Calcium Silicate insulation board and then put 3cm SStone directly on this. I need to think about the entry / oven transition. I don't think putting an exposed inch of insulation board is really the way to go and going back to Fbrick as a thermal break here could be the answer.

Re: Soapstone vs Firebrick ??
You should be fine with the granite entryway. Mine doesn't get that hot. It's kinda interesting, there is like a wall of heat as you put your hand inside the oven. It's so hot you can't put your bare hand in past it. That occurs, in my oven, right where the dome begins (not surprising). Out board of that heat wall you can easily put your hand (maybe <300F). That is where I will begin my granite entryway slab. It's actually a great place to keep things warm. The granite, is a good choice for that area and it comes in lots of colors.

Re: Soapstone vs Firebrick ??
It's come to my attention that Ovencrafters doesn't recommend Soapstone for bread ovens because of the higher heat conductivity when compared to the standard Firebrick floors.
I can see how this additional conductivity can really help in a commercial pizza oven where you're moving pizzas as quick as you can build them. Even in our ovens this can be an advantage.
I don't know if Soapstone is a real disadvantage when we're baking bread in our Pompeii style ovens. I would expect that the crust would cook faster. Is it too fast? Can this be mitigated somehow? I bet it can be mitigated. Foil or ceramic tile or a pizza stone on top of the stone and under the bread loaf or whatever else might be all it takes to be just right.
I would also expect that the oven deck would heat faster and the overall temps would even out faster. This would seem to be an advantage.
When I have baked on the Soapstone "pizza stone" in my general "inside" oven I have adjusted the baking by not running the oven to 550f and turning it down to 450f after putting the bread in to bake but just running it to 450f and leaving it there. The additional mass and conductivity of the stone seemed to make this a prudent change and it turned out being just right.
I think the idea of running the oven to 550 and backing it down goes along with the poor performance of standard ovens. Once the oven door is opened and by the time you get the bread in and steam going you lose a lot of heat.
Ill be trying a 3cm 20 by 16 inch piece of stone in the oven to bake on and see what happens.

Rio de Janeiro, 19 June 2012 - The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), the Clinton Climate Initiative/C-40, the World Bank, and the Global Methane Initiative are launching a groundbreaking partnership to reduce methane and black carbon pollutants from municipal solid waste.
The CCAC, which has almost tripled its membership since February, aims to dramatically cut short-lived climate pollutants that cause substantial global warming and harm public health.
Select Quotes from Senior Officials for On-the-Record Attribution
C-40 Chair and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg: "Improving the management of city solid waste, including reducing the release of methane and other greenhouse gases is a top priority of many C-40 cities. The success of this partnership and of our new C40 network will move us a long way toward the greenhouse gas reduction goals we are setting."
EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson: "We're proud to join this collaborative effort and tackle a challenge that threatens our climate and the health of people around the world, and stands in the way of prosperous, sustainable urban development. Building partnerships across sectors will open opportunities for innovative, far-reaching advances against one of the largest sources of climate-forcing pollution."
U.S. Special Envoy for Climate Change Todd Stern: "This initiative encapsulates perfectly what we're trying to do with the newly launched Climate and Clean Air Coalition. Countries, cities, the World Bank, and civil society partnering together to make real-world, scaled-up reductions of 'short-lived climate pollutants,' which cause some 30% of current warming. With this solid waste initiative, we're making a big dent in the third-largest source of methane worldwide, and, at the same time, improving the health and environment of local communities."
World Bank Vice President Rachel Kyte: "The World Bank particularly appreciates this initiative. It highlights two important issues: (i) how cities are responding with leadership and action to some of our big challenges like solid waste and climate change, and (ii) that increasingly our big challenges need all of us - countries, cities, agencies, the private sector, civil society - to work better together and with a much greater sense of urgency."
In addition to intensive work with specific leading cities, this ground-breaking partnership will establish a platform for sharing experiences from successful cities to others around the world. National governments will contribute by removing barriers to effective waste management.
Landfills are the third largest man-made source of methane, a greenhouse gas over 20 times more potent than CO2, and municipal waste production is expected to nearly double worldwide by 2025. Over the coming months, the partnership will work with a group of leading cities, including Lagos and New York, to design city-friendly strategies for rolling out the initiative.
Today's announcement was made during a side event at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20).
Mitigating black carbon and methane from the municipal solid waste sector is one of five initial focal areas for scaled-up efforts by the CCAC.

You can't use that technique, anymore. These girls are too strong out here. You've got to use brains not brawn.
I am a comedian trapped in a lawyer's body. If you met me you would never think I was serious about anything. However, I am a pretty goal oriented person. I try to be fun during my free time. I don't like to talk about work like so many other people in this town. What's the point? Kind gestures from down to earth people make me smile. I am hoping to meet an intelligent woman who I am deeply attracted to. That's really all there is to it. It really doesn't have to be anymore complicated than that. I am looking for a lady who respects me and respects herself. People don't respect each other anymore. I guess in this fast changing climate, people have become too complex. I am passionate about achieving the goals that I have set out for myself. I measure success by those things that I have set out to accomplish. In other words, I am a work in progress. My only criticism about this profile is that people read it too literally. You cannot get a feel for who I am by reading a few sentences. Sorry, you are just going to have to get to know me.

I love all types of music except country. My favorite TV show is "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Don't let that scare you. I don't look or act like Larry David.
Do you want me to lie or tell the truth ? I attend professional football games when the Redskins are in town. However, I am a Philadelphia Eagles fan. I just don't feel like driving to Philadelphia every weekend to watch a game.
The last book I read was Payback by Thomas Kelly. No, it is not what I would consider fine literature. I am at the point in my life where I feel like I don't have to impress anybody. Don't worry, I'm not a narcissist.

My development experience begun at a very early stage in my life, it is my main strength and I am proud of it. It all started back in 2007, when I was only just about to turn thirteen years old that I was exposed to the part of the World Wide Web that matters, how it all works.
I was never really interested, until I saw the source behind a website I used to frequent back then. The HTML written on it was of pretty bad standards, but it did really made me wonder what that gibberish was all about. I started to then create my own website, and made Cajogos Networks.
Wasn't until around 2009, I had moved to London here in the beautiful, but yet chaotic, United Kingdom, that I started looking forward beyond simple static websites, and that is when my Content Management Experience begun, particularly WordPress which involved CSS, one of the languages I was already familiar with and Php.
Php introduced me to the server-side of things and from there even better ideas and projects came up in my mind. I can develop user bases with somewhat good security (nothing these days is good security, am I right?) that can run very smoothly, and I do love some salt on my passwords!
Ah, JavaScript how could I forget about you? Isn't this language just beautiful? I mean, it runs on someone else's computer pretty much out-of-the-box and you can do so much stuff with it. I love JavaScript and I plan on working a lot more with it in the future. Oh and yes, jQuery is also on the list.
My journey into the world of Computer Science only really began when I encountered my new love and dearest, coding. I love to code, to me it's the closest thing we have to magic. I love it so much that I have begun teaching it on a few CoderDojo in London and I currently run a website where I teach how to code, Carlos.Tips.
Java was my first programming language. Yes, some might think it's one of the least liked in industry, but it's also one of the most used languages nowadays, you can't really say no to that. The fact it was my first programming language I have grown quite fond of it to the point I can say it is my favourite language to code in. I feel comfortable writing it, probably because I am sort of a syntax freak and my code has to be formatted in a beautiful manner. "Write beautiful code" is one of my mottos.
My love for Java was what most likely brought me to Android Application Development. I have developed many apps and published some, some with thousands of installations and one currently being used by hundreds of Android users. I don't hate Apple, I am just not keen on their development concept, however wouldn't mind giving it a shot if I was given the opportunity.
The C's, the languages all programmers should know, C and C++. Oh and what the hell, might as well add C# into the gig. I have some of experience in these languages, although would love to get my hands on them a lot more. I have developed for Arduino using C, I have developed in C++ and have created a networked game over TCP/IP using C# on Windows. Let's not forget that I have also some experience with the ASP.NET concept and have developed a shopping website using C# as the backend code.
Another of my wild experiences include the 'where the hell are my curly braces?' Python, which I have grown to love and I crave development in the language, want to give me a challenge? I have also some experience using Assembly language, but I am more of a high level languages kind of guy, so let's leave that one for the pros, shall we?
Databases aren't of everyone liking, known from experience from my peers. Having said that, I can honestly say I cannot imagine our world without our beloved databases, even if you think JSON isn't a database system, stop and think, aren't you storing data?
I have gained a lot of experience in SQL by my own learning and also from my degree of study. I have made it so that all my work revolves about databases and these were most prominently SQL. I have most of my skills in MySQL, however I have worked with various variations of SQL, such as Microsoft's SQL Server and Access.
When I was introduced to the concept of NoSQL I was astonished, why aren't we taught this method of storing a lot more? It makes a lot more sense in this time in age (with some exceptions, obviously). My NoSQL skills are mostly from MongoDB, however I am open to learn new concepts.
I am also working on a project for my final year project and dissertation called BISCUIT. It's a Visual Query Language to learn database management, come have a look at the progress.
I am a Windows user and I do not have anything against Windows, but I do have a big affection for the Linux family. Linux just makes sense. A big shout out to my favourite, Ubuntu! I am also a server administrator, running some droplets over at Digital Ocean. I love the Ubuntu system for my server management, however I honestly love just the fact you have total control over a system using SSH.
Other of my skills include photo editing, image manipulation and video editing. I have many years of experience in using the Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Photoshop, Dreamweaver (although, not my favourite IDE), After Effects and Premiere.
I have many other skills, such as computer hardware, I will help you upgrade your computer or even fix it, just leave me a message.

My Shirt of Choice on the Rocks
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
One of if not my favorite climbing shirt. Something about the way Arcteryx makes their shirt, from the fit to sleeve length to even the little brand tag at the cuff of the sleeve makes this shirt the one I usually pick out before hitting the gym or crag. It's a shame they got rid of the purple one - I would really like that in my closet.

Abuse of power
Globe-trotting politicians pocketing per diem payments
The chances are that the person you elected to represent you in the U.S. Congress not only has been traveling around the globe on your tax dollars but has been pocketing what's left of the daily expense money.
The Wall Street Journal has uncovered a long standing practice of lawmakers claiming ownership of per diem travel allowances not spent during "official business" overseas. It's not a huge amount. The government pays up to $250 a day depending on the location for food and incidental expenses. That doesn't count expenses that are picked up by military liaison and foreign governments.
But the size of the chisel isn't what matters.
The newspaper says that according to travel records, hundreds of lawmakers spent a total of 5,300 days visiting 130 foreign countries on tax-funded trips. The total per diem expenses paid, the Journal estimated, amount to between $375,000 and $625,000.
Journal reporters interviewed 20 present and former members of the House and found that the lawmakers use the excess cash for shopping or to defray spouses' travel or just pocket it. Many of those interviewed claimed they didn't know the rules. One lawmaker's take on the situation was illuminating.
"If that (repayment) was the policy, you could never get many members traveling," said Rep. Solomon Ortiz, D-Texas.
Oh, my gosh! That would be a tragedy for the nation. It would mean they would stay home and legislate more.
Unlike the rest of us who travel on someone else's nickel, members of Congress don't have to keep receipts and the institution doesn't have any method of keeping track of the per diem funds. It's just another one of those perks that sets those making the laws above those who must obey them.
"You are all concerned about nickels and dimes, and I'm not," Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings of Florida, told the Journal. "You know in a taxi cab in Kazakhstan, I don't have time to get a receipt. I don't speak Kazakh."
There are exception. Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania has returned $8,500 of the $25,000 he was given for 11 trips since 2005.
The newspaper cited a trip by 12 lawmakers to attend a meeting in Finland in which each was given $941 for six days of meals. Only two returned any money, Sens. Richard Durbin, D-Ill, and Benjamin Cardin, D-Md.
Whether others know it or not House and Senate rules are specific in their requirement that per diems are to be used only for legitimate travel expenses and that any leftover amount must be returned.
All this doesn't add up to the kind of big bucks Americans are used to when it comes to Congress. But it still says a whole lot about those we choose to manage our business.

Indian people use castor oil traditionally for all kinds of things - for my grandmas, this stuff (along with turmeric, coconut oil, hibiscus powder, henna and sandalwood) was a beauty staple!
Makeup remover: removes even the most stubborn water-proof stuff. I use it to remove super stay-put oil-based stage makeup for dance.
Goo gone: Seriously, it works. Obviously use with discretion (its an oil.. it stains) but on glassware and ceramics, works amazingly well and relatively non-toxic [read the ingredients on real 'goo gone' - all kinds of volatile organic compounds]
Hair: Castor oil is THICK. If you read the ingredients of most hair spray, leave-in conditioners, settings sprays - they all have hydrogenated castor oil.. but they use it with powerful emulsifiers. I use this stuff sometimes like argan oil - just run a tiny bit on my ends and to smooth out flyaways, but too much gets greasy FAST. Also it is sticky.
Skin: I used the OCM a few times, but not enough to really make a habit or notice a difference. My skin is complicated, so I stay away from fads. This stuff is GOLD for ragged cuticles and ultra dry skin though. I also use it on the corners of my mouth when they crack or my lips when they get bad wind-burn (I walk outside a lot, Canada is cold :D)
Eyes: MONEY! I don't use this on my brows (breaks me out), and occasionally use it on my lashes instead of mascara (my lashes are long-ish), but the real magic here is a weird use..I have chronic, really bad dry eye. Can't wear contact lenses anymore, eyes are always red, bad night vision, tons of cornea infections.. :( My grandma suggested that I use "traditional" kajal (home-made black eyeliner) on the waterline to improve my vision. Sounds like BS right? I looked into it, and dry eye is caused by blockage of the Meibomian glands near the waterline...Traditional kajal is made with "castor oil soot" from lamps and..castor oil, which is a lubricating lipid. I started spreading castor oil (a tiny drop from a bottle only used for eyes, always with clean hands) on my waterline after wearing contacts, or just every day. My eyes are much less dry, less red, less irritated and I'm noticing a huge difference. I use organic, cold-pressed, double filtered castor oil.. and obviously YMMV and there is a risk of infection. But if you think about it, we all think nothing of putting eyeliner on our waterlines.. so why not castor oil.
Bottom line: THIS STUFF IS AMAZING, a multi-use product, ~$5 if you buy non-organic from any 'ethnic' grocery store or the drug store, and is worth every penny.

I have been using castor oil everyday on my eyebrows and eyelashes and even in my shampoo. It's really made a difference in the length of my eyelashes and the thickness of my eyebrows but I'm not sure if it did anything about my hair length yet

Using castor oil has made my eyebrows seem thicker, but I don't like that it's smell can be overpowering and that it's very thick. I've stopped using castor oil for a couple of weeks now, and I've noticed that my eyebrows have returned to how they were before. I don't like that I have to use this all the time to see results, and that the results aren't lasting.

I love discoveries like this. It's dirt cheap, it's natural, and most importantly, it works. Boy, does it work. I've had my brows groomed in the 90's and it's not so bad, it's perfectly arched and symmetrical but it's kinda sparse. So are my lashes. I've used one of those lash serums before and they're really pricey.
For 2 months now, I've applied castor oil with a Q-tip (or cotton bud) to my eyebrows and lashes every night. I've also added it to my shampoo every day when I wash my hair. I'm not sure if it helps my hair, but boy does it help my lashes! I've seen the most significant change to my lashes, and coming behind that, my eyebrows. I love how my lashes look now - so full and long. I think my eyebrows grow faster - but that's just me trying to notice any difference.
The only thing I don't like about it is the smell - it smells like an ashtray. But I've heard about how you can mask it by adding essential oils like lavender so you can do that too. I don't bother - the smell usually dissipates in a while.
So yes, five lippies! I'll continue using this. :)

Ok, so I must say I've only been using this product for about a week on my scalp. After trying the oil cleansing method (mixing castor oil, jojoba oil and tamanu oil) and having HORRIFIC results, I was intent on finding other uses for all these special oil bottles I bought. The jojoba oil ended up being the best moisturizer for my skin (no more razor bumps, yay!), and the tamanu oil has been amazing for any sensitive or inflamed skin. I finally started using the castor oil on my scalp in hopes that maybe, just maybe it would help with my hair growth and help prevent hair fallout/split ends. My hair usually grows about an inch every 3-4 months or so, and by then it is usually all split ends. I've tried everything under the sun to help with this (stopped using heat styling, started brushing and massaging more, biotin which made me break out all over my body) and I can honestly say that within the week I've used it, my hair has already grown more than it usually does in a month and is softer and fuller than ever, I can't stop myself from touching it!! I just now started using it on my eyebrows and eyelashes which also need a little help, but not a whole bunch. Will update in a month or 2 with more results!

No effect on my lashes and brows. Tried for about 6 weeks, twice, after some encouragement from an MUA member who swore it would work! Thanks, but all it did was seep into my eyes at night, no matter how little I used on the base of my lashes, and make my eyes red by morning. But coconut oil has done wonders for my lashes and brows!

First of all, let me say that I am not one of those people who claims that castor oil works wonders after over plucking their eyebrows, because, after all, how do you know whether it's the castor oil or your own body doing the magic of regrowing?
I have always had the same eyebrow shape, but I have always had one or two small patches that do not have any hair. After using castor oil every night for around 2-3 weeks, guess what? They are now covered with hair! The oil does not make your hairs any darker, but thicker. One downside is that the oil can cause acne, since I have oily and acne prone skin. Other than that, the oil works great!

Let me first grab your attention by saying that CASTOR OIL REALLY DOES WORK. My eyebrows look like chewbacca's hairy legs at the moment.
Now i've seen some negative reviews on here saying that it doesn't work, but I will prove you wrong with the pictures I am about to upload to my profile!
These are some factors I have come up with to determine probably why the castor oil isn't working for hair growth on you:
-you aren't using cold pressed castor oil. This is an extremely important factor, because the more refined your castor oil is, the less nutrients it will contain. Cold pressed castor oil is basically the process of removing the oil from the seed, without using heat (heat kills all the vital nutrients). I purchase a huge bottle of that organic stuff from whole foods for a whopping 8 bucks! My bottle is still full after having it for 2 years.
-You aren't exfoliating/massaging the area you want to target for hair growth. This is a must, because exfoliating and massaging the areas daily make sure your follicles are well stimulated with blood flow, which in return leads to hair growth.
-You aren't applying the product religiously. If you want to get the Max benefits from castor oil, you must apply it every night before you go to bed, don't be lazy!!
This is my routine:
If I was wearing makeup beforehand I will use coconut oil to remove the makeup from my eyes and eyebrows. It's important to remove every bit of makeup, you don't want to block your hair follicles.
After removing every inch of makeup, I will wash my face will a gentle scent less cleanser. Then I exfoliate my face with a scrub focusing on my eyebrow area. Wash then pay dry.
Then I soak a cotton pad in diluted tea tree oil and rub this all over my eyebrows. THIS IS IMPORTANT AND I ALSO CONTRIBUTE THIS TO MY EYEBROW GROWTH. Tea tree oil is know to stimulate hair growth. After this, I brush out my eyebrow hairs for a minute, using light circulating motions, this stimulates the hairs even more. Lastly, I use a q-tip and generously apply castor oil to my eyebrow area. Make sure every hair is saturated. Also,if you use face creams like I do, avoid getting them around your eyebrows, this can block your hair follicles and promote hair loss.
I have been doing this religiously for 2 months and my eyebrows have grown in like crazy! I will post a before and after picture on my profile if you wanna check them out, (excuse the pimple around my eyebrows, this is the only downside of the castor oil, but I am no longer breaking out, I think my skin just had to get used to the oil.)
Hope I helped!

I have been working at Freddie Mac full-time (More than 10 years)
Most employees are good, intelligent people that are easy to work with. Flexible work arrangements are excellent.
FHFA recently terminated the pension plan without offerring sufficient alternative compensation. It represents a significant cut in the value of my total compensation (about 15%) for every year I continue to stay. As a valued long-time employee, it makes me question whether FHFA is serious about attracting and retaining competent employees.

Keep fighting for employees.

Alright, so I been meaning to get a Nintendo System for a while. But then I remembered I barely know anything about Nintendo, as they seem to have good games on both, but the support for them seem to be split. So I am wondering what system seems to be worth it more.
I never played any Mario game, practically ever, so I though the Wii U would be the best choice since it plays Wii games too, and the Galaxy games are supposed to be amazing. But the 3DS has some crazy exclusives. So I can't really decide what's worth it.
So as someone trying to get into the Nintendo "life," what would be better, Wii U, or 3DS?
(I'm not new to gaming, just never owned a Nintendo system.)
