- I remain convinced that the GOP would do well, as a matter of political pragmatism, to re-examine it's dedication to near-total abortion restrictions. The consensus in comments, however, is that I'm talking out of my ass (never that unlikely a proposition). So buyer beware, I guess.
- Part of the reason it's tougher for women like Hilary Clinton or Sarah Palin to win is that this is a country with a pretty huge Daddy complex, it seems to me, and lots of people are subconsciously looking to elect a father figure. Hopefully we'll all be able to get past that in the near future.
- This is a fun little time-waster, although I find the ad campaign that it's for to be kind of bizarre. For some reason, I've had all these urges to have a child recently. I've always been kind of noncommittal about having children someday-- I would be happy to have a child or not have one. But lately I've felt this kind of push to have a baby that I never expected. I though only women felt their biological clocks. Anyway, here's my baby:
- Where have the Yale Mafia folks gone? Very little bloggy output from them recently. I want to hear from them. They're probably focusing on, like, school and their futures and other trivial pursuits. No sense of priorities!

Us undergraduates bloggers work a trans-Atlantic squad rotation system: righties from Yale take a turn, lefties from Cambridge take a turn. We all get 1sts at the end (or whatever Americans call them) along with lucrative media careers using the contacts we've nurtured along the way.

You're probably joking, but I find your second sentence pretty much the truth.

The only time I have ever seen blogosphere contacts in action is when a friend and co-blogger of mine wrote a nice article about the Green Party and they recruited him for "Web 2.0" stuff for their London Mayoral bid. Demonstrates their desperation, I guess, but he's now head of Green Youth and so on. I'm sure it's very impressive CV stuff.
Personally I've gotten nothing out of it save wasted time and doubt that that'll change shortly.

We all need some time to think. The coffee shop is crowded. The group ride is too big and too loud. Some days you want to ride alone, to set your own pace, to feel the wind on your face and let your mind roll on down the road. A solo bike is the quiet companion, whether youre contemplating lifes deeper truths or training for a race against yourself.
For those who want to push themselves hardest in their solo pursuits, the Elium SL marries titanium and carbon fiber to produce nimbleness on climbs, quickness in turns and a zip in the flats that will keep many would-be companions from latching onto your wheel.
As clean, quiet, and dependable a road bike as you will find. Double butted titanium tubing yields a ride that is fast and stable. There is nothing missing here, and nothing extra. Our best-selling bike for very good reason. The Axioms we built in '97 are still on the road. How long do you want to ride?
This bike felt like an old friend from the first ride. Gail R., CA

Target customers saw red this holiday, and not in the way the retailer intends with its upbeat brand palette.
After shoppers learned in December, largely from media sources, that 40 million of their credit and debit card numbers were stolen from those who made in-store purchases between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15, the number of those affected has now risen to up to 110 million. To make matters worse, concerned consumers faced poor customer service when calling or searching for more information regarding the breach after the news initially broke.
As if Target needed another holiday season sucker punch, a week into the investigation, the retailer announced that encrypted customer PIN numbers were included in the theft. Early estimates of the potential cost of the crisis to Target are in the hundreds of millions.
While consumers might be frantically searching their credit reports and billing statements, retailers around the world have reason to feel frantic over another unknown: How can my business protect itself from such a disaster?
Fortunately, if there's one thing that comes from a major security breach and PR snafu, it's lessons learned. Here are a few of the takeaways from Target's recent tribulations:
1. Communicate the problem, pronto
Nearly every aspect of Target's security breach fell into the realm of horrible timing. Some could be controlled, others could not. The fact that the attack happened during the most crucial shopping season of the year was obviously out of the retailer's hands. But the chance to be the first to break the news was fully in its control — and the retailer waited days after discovering the problem before alerting customers.
"The company moved quite slowly on this breach," reported John Biggs for TechCrunch on the same day as Target's official announcement regarding the crisis. That's because a report on the breach had emerged a week earlier by Krebs on Security. Though just rumors at that point, the post turned out to be so accurate — down to the how the theft likely occurred — that it revealed how long Target likely knew a crisis had occurred before alerting customers.
On the other hand, they could have been even slower to respond. As the recent security breach announcement by Snapchat has revealed, waiting months to acknowledge and even longer to apologize for a breach can amplify the problem. Though the SnapChat leak included the relatively less damaging consumer information of usernames and phone numbers, the handling of the crisis had led to calls for the CEO to be fired.
"The fact remains that Target was behind when this first broke," Levick strategic communications firm's Jason Maloni told the Minneapolis StarTribune. "Anytime you are not controlling the release of information, you lose the opportunity to cast yourself in the role of the hero rather than the villain."
2. Be ready to respond to your customers
Even once Target began to 'fess up to the breach, their communications with customers were far from adequate, reported Andria Cheng for the Wall Street Journal's MarketWatch. Customer services lines for the company's own Target Redcard credit cards were in gridlock, a website banner informing customers of the breach was too small to see, and the retailer's social media channels were flooded with angry customers.
Brand loyalty is about a relationship — and when customers faced these communications issues following the news, their trust was breached right along with their credit card information.
Target's poor response also left the door open for scammers. Bloomberg reported that Target acknowledged "limited incidents" of fake communications to customers that appeared to come from the retailer. That report came along with the news that Target's sales were officially taking a hit.
3. Push for updated security technology
Can Target be blamed for the security breach itself? Some pending lawsuits may determine that answer in detail, but experts were quick to point out the U.S. lags behind other countries in using antiquated credit card security technology.
"The United States is one of the last countries to migrate to credit cards with a microprocessor that makes them harder to reproduce than the magnetic strip technology in use today," reported John Fritze for the Baltimore Sun. "The so-called EMV cards have been adopted in 80 countries and are widely used in Europe."
This technology would essentially eliminate face-to-face and skimming fraud, which happen when either a person or gadget attached to a scanner illegally captures credit card information during a transaction.
4. Invest in prevention
Most credit card companies are on schedule to upgrade to the more secure EMV system by 2015, but retailers concerned about security can't simply wait around to ensure their customers' security. SunGard security experts also said that not all fraud can be avoided by new technologies, and businesses can't just rely on PCI, or Payment Card Industry standards. These standards were developed by a collaboration between Visa and MasterCard in order to set security requirements common to the entire industry. The result was a single validation process for all card associations, which makes life less complicated for merchants. Asher DeMetz, lead senior consultant at SunGard Availability Services, said the PCI standards are a good place to start, but they should just be one part of a comprehensive information security program.
"The big thing with this hack is that Target must have been PCI compliant to handle credit cards," he said. "However, even after implementing all of the PCI standard they still had a major breach."
SunGard experts recommend that each company's security program features solutions based upon their individual risk assessment. Businesses like Target that could find themselves with a security breach price tag in the hundreds of thousands would certainly be better off investing in prevention. Security programs should be straightforward, streamlined, well-executed and monitored by third party auditing and testing.
5. Rebuild trust
The most recent news from the Minneapolis-based retailer is that the company is learning its own lessons from the crisis. Now Target has, according to the StarTribune, "launched a fierce public relations counterattack, with daily news briefings and a flurry of photos and statements designed to show the company aggressively responding to arguably the worst crisis in its 50-year-plus history."
That blitz has included a video apology from CEO Gregg Steinhafel, who offered a store-wide discount and assured customers they were the top priority as the retailer addressed the problem, as well as offering a year of free credit monitoring to affected customers – a service that must certainly come with a pretty hefty price tag for 100 million accounts.
Will pulling it together now help Target retain its customer loyalty? It's certainly possible, as brands have recovered from security breaches before in a matter of weeks. But with the bulls-eye they prefer to have adorning customer shopping bags still squarely on their back, Target's crisis management will likely deliver on-going lessons as lawsuits and more information comes forward.
What other businesses can take away from this is much more concrete: a security crisis can very quickly turn into a crisis of trust and loyalty if swift communications and responsive customer service aren't employed — even if the fault lies with the same weak credit card security used by so many other businesses.

PIKEVILLE – With fall just around the corner, the board of directors of the University of Pikeville Alumni Association recently held its first meeting of the new academic year to resume planning for the AlumNites tour which features events in the region and across the country, and tailgate parties at the BearGrounds before each home football game.
The board of directors is comprised of UPike alumni who are nominated to serve year-to-year terms beginning July 1. The board supports the alumni association's vision "to preserve what we were, celebrate who we are, and plan for what we will become by serving as the gateway to a world of possibilities for students, alumni and friends of UPike." This partnership with the University of Pikeville seeks to accomplish these goals through engaging collaborations; creating comprehensive communication strategies; establishing meaningful connections; and finding contributions of time, expertise and resources.
Kay Hammond, executive director of Pikeville's Appalachian Pregnancy Care Center and president of the alumni association, encourages alumni to get involved in the great things happening "on the hill." Hammond said, "As a UPike alumnus, you know the value of a good education. This coming year, you can help support the university by becoming an active member of the alumni association. Help us change lives by supporting your alma mater."
UPike alumni and special events coordinator Jordan Gibson explained that alumni can get involved by attending or hosting AlumNite events. "The goal of the AlumNites tour is to reconnect alumni near and far to one another and back to the university," said Gibson. Recently, alumni gathered at Jenny Wiley Theatre in Prestonsburg, and the Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Va., to enjoy the arts, tour the facilities and meet cast members.
"We are excited about the overwhelming response to the AlumNites tour and look forward to reconnecting with our alumni across the country," said Dr. Eric Becher, vice president for advancement. A comprehensive list of the 2013-2014 AlumNites can be viewed at www.upike.edu/alumnites.
Upon commencement, all graduates of the University of Pikeville become members of the alumni association, including graduates of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Coleman College of Business and the Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine. Monthly board meetings are open to all alumni of the university and are generally held on the second Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. For more information about the alumni association, meetings, the board of directors, or to host an AlumNite, please contact the Office of Alumni Relations at email@example.com or at (606) 218-5276.

When Did Our Professors Become Buildings?
Emmet Horan Hall, 1961-62
Emmet Horan, an Eau Claire businessman, became the first Eau Claire representative on the Board of Regents of Normal Schools in 1908 serving until 1918. He was very instrumental in establishing Eau Claire as a site for a normal school and presided over the dedication of the Eau Claire Normal School building (now Schofield Hall) on October 19, 1916.
Horan Hall was the first building built on upper campus. It opened in the fall of 1962 and was dedicated on May 14, 1966.

New Poetry Competition Adelaide Plains Poets
The theme for this competition came in part from several different people. The initial idea that led to the theme of 'My Passion', came from an idea from a wanna be politician. This person suggested 'Sport' as a theme. This was rejected as being too narrow, and not interesting enough to poets. We pride ourselves on having themes for our competitions that are broad enough to appeal to creative people with amazing ideas!
On thinking further on the theme though, and having listened to the heartfelt way the proposer spoke of his passion for his particular sport, the idea of passion crept into the possible mix for the theme for this competition. Creative people are passionate people, with passions for life, for words, for Nature, for life!
So, another conversation, this time with the lovely person involved in supporting our competition for the 2012/2013 year. We spoke of Passion, our passions for life, and so the idea of 'My Passion' came into being, with the promise of support again from the 5th Element Unearthed, if 'My Passion' becomes the theme for the 2013/2014 competition.
This idea was put to members of the Adelaide Plains Chapter and Verse group, and held to be a fine idea, and so the decision was made!
If you have a grand passion in your life and you want to share it with the world, put pen to paper and write it down, then send your entry in! The entry form and guidelines are on the right hand side of this page, copy and paste as required. I'll be waiting for your entry/ies!
Many thanks to Tom and Maxine from 5th element unearthed, I love the passion you both put into your lives! (I love your sublime extra virgin olive oil too, by the way!)

Judges comments 2012 'Crossroads' competition
Cross roads: Judge's Speech
Among the almost seventy poems submitted by adults, nine stood out. Two --- 'Sticks and Bones'(by Heather Lunney NSW) and 'Atticus Forby' (by Terrence Mohr SA)--- dealt with individuals struggling with identity. Both rhymed and were fine poems. I certainly commend them, as I do 'Blackberry Pies'(by Beverly Lello VIC) and 'The Wrong Woman'(by Gaylene Carbis VIC) which dealt with cars. The most curious poem, also commended, was 'Wystan Hughes walks past the Musee de Beaux Arts and drops into a nearby blues club' [after W H Auden] (by Mike Hopkins SA), an accomplished, witty and entertaining piece which Auden would have appreciated.
Now we get down to the Highly Commended poems of which there are two. 'Pandora's Box' (by Shelley Hansen QLD) is a thought provoking piece applied skillfully to the set topic with an uplifting ending. It is, if anything, an Ode to Hope. 'Crossroads' (by Janet Upcher TAS) is a tender, sensitive poem with some original imagery. It depicts that moment that all parents and grandparents know when the child becomes an adult stepping out into the adult world. It is a time of celebration and loss. Conventionally rhymed, it is beautifully and achingly realized.
In sharp contrast we have one of the two equal prizewinners 'do you take this man?' (by David Campbell VIC) which reminds me of the poetry of Anna Walwicz .It has a strong narrative drive mingled with stream of consciousness. It is hot and scarifying. This poem hit me from the very start. I knew it would be a finalist. It makes powerful reading.
The other equal first prize winner is 'The Water Tower, Tailem Bend' (by Meryl McDougall SA). I have a soft spot for water towers though the writer would not have known this. It is a very accomplished poem which melds current concern for the river with the legend of Ngurunderi with which I am not familiar though the story is sketched in the poem. It is an environmental piece with some clever imagery. The poet maintains full control over its fifteen rhyming stanzas. It never falters.
Now to secondary schools. Of the nine submissions, one stood out and it's worthy of First Prize. 'An Offer Not to be Refused'(by Talia Walker NSW) deals with that crossroad moment when one is offered his or her first cigarette. It is the sinewy, conniving, persuasive voice of temptation with which we are all familiar . There are some clever, original images in this macabre, sarcastic piece. I loved it!
There were only two primary entries neither special in any way.
I enjoyed reading and judging these entries and want to thank the organisers for giving me the opportunity. To all those who submitted, the best of wishes in your future writing endeavours.
John Malone

Concord, N.C. (April 23, 2009) – After an impressive Nationwide Series debut in Nashville two weeks ago, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. will make his way back to where he came from – in a Sprint car on a dirt track. This Friday, April 24, Stenhouse will join the World of Outlaw's (WoO) at Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Ark. The same track where the 21-year old began his career.
"I got my first Sprint car win at West Memphis in August of 2003," said Stenhouse. "I was racing for my Dad and it was a pretty big deal. I'm looking forward to getting back in my Dad's car this weekend and competing with some of the best dirt track racers in the world. It will be cool to have a lot of fans there along with a lot of the same people I raced Sprint cars and even Go-Karts with when I was getting started. Probably the coolest thing is that there's no pressure. I can go out there and have fun."
Many Sprint car legends have raced at the track since it opened 60 years ago and this Friday's race is no exception. Stenhouse will be competing against WoO champions and regulars such as Donny Shatz, Steve Kinser and Sammy Swindell, a challenge that Stenhouse is up for.
"These guys are fast." Stenhouse continued, "They race winged-Sprint cars every week on dirt so they very rarely make a mistake. You can't afford to make mistakes when you race with these guys if you want to run well. The competition will be tough but I think Dad has prepared a fast race car and I feel like we will be competitive."
The celebrated ¼-mile dirt track is known for its tight quarters. It's a track where the leaders spend ample amounts of time in traffic and where you must run a mistake-free race just to be competitive.
"West Memphis is small and tight," commented Stenhouse. "Passing is really tough there because the competition is so good. You need to qualify well, run up front and make your own way around the cars in front of you. You have to be on your game because on the small chance those guys make a mistake, you need to be there to take advantage of it."
When asked if he plans to run more Sprint car races in 2009 Stenhouse replied, "I'm just taking it one week at a time right now. As I add more races to my schedule I'll update my web site (www.stenhousejr.com) and Facebook page."
Stenhouse is also preparing for his next Nationwide race in the No. 16 CitiFinancial Ford. The Roush Fenway Racing stand-out will return to Nashville Superspeedway on June 6 with more knowledge and hunger for a top five finish.
"I learned a lot at Nashville," said Stenhouse. "I learned I need to be more patient and that I can't make up every position on my own. I'm definitely looking forward to returning to Nashville because I think we will be faster than we were. I just need to finish the race. If I run a clean race and the pit crew performs like I know they can on pit road, we should have the CitiFinancial Ford up front."
Tickets are still available for Friday's WoO race. All tickets are $35 and can be purchased by calling (901)840-1970 or (901)508-6200 or visiting www.riversideinternationalspeedway.com.

These very expensive (and very greasy) makeup remover pads definitely take off all types of makeup, but not without possible risk of irritation. The formula includes a high amount of fragrant orange oil, which is potentially irritating and a poor choice for use in a product that may be used around the eye area (Sources: Acta dermato-venereologica, Volume 87, pages 312–316; and Contact Dermatitis, August 2006, pages 81–83). Also, as mentioned, these pads leave skin greasy due to the numerous plant oils present.
Just to be clear, argan oil isn't "precious" or the best antioxidant around (clearly Signature Club A doesn't think so or they'd include argan in all of their products). Rather, argan oil (or extract) is but one of many very good plant oils to look for in a product if you have dry skin. But with this product, the benefits of argan oil are muted by the problems the fragrant citrus oil has.
One more thing about argan oil: The intense hype around it mirrors other ingredient crazes we've seen over the years and, like every one of them, will fade into the background when women realize it doesn't live up to the claims. See More Info to learn more about argan oil.
More Info:
Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types. If fragrance in your skin-care products is important to you, it should be a very low amount to minimize the risk to your skin (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135, and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22).
The fact that it's packaged in a jar means the beneficial ingredients won't remain stable once it is opened. All plant extracts, vitamins, antioxidants, and other state-of-the-art ingredients break down in the presence of air, so once a jar is opened and lets the air in, these important ingredients begin to deteriorate. Jars also are unsanitary because you're dipping your fingers into them with each use, adding bacteria which further deteriorate the beneficial ingredients (Sources: Free Radical Biology and Medicine, September 2007, pages 818–829; Ageing Research Reviews, December 2007, pages 271–288; Dermatologic Therapy, September-October 2007, pages 314–321; International Journal of Pharmaceutics, June 12, 2005, pages 197–203; Pharmaceutical Development and Technology, January 2002, pages 1–32; International Society for Horticultural Science, www.actahort.org/members/showpdf?booknrarnr=778_5; Beautypackaging.com, and www.beautypackaging.com/articles/2007/03/airless-packaging.php).
Argan oil
Non-fragrant plant oil expressed from the kernels of rarified argan trees. Argan trees are extremely capable of adapting to severe environmental conditions, including droughts. Argan oil contains several beneficial lipids and fatty acids for skin, including oleic acid, palmitic acid, and especially linoleic acid. It is also a good source of vitamin E (Tocopherol) and, like several other plant oils, is a source of antioxidant compounds. Argan oil is a natural source of the antioxidant ferulic acid. The cosmetics industry is hailing argan oil as a restorative wonder owing to its use by Moroccan women for years to tend to their hair, skin, and nails. Despite the folklore stories (which is irrelevant because not all Moroccan women have great skin, hair, and nails, or use argan oil, not to mention different cultures in the Middle East use different oils with mixed results), and limited availability of the trees (plus the difficult extraction process to obtain the oil), argan oil isn't a miraculous ingredient by any stretch of the imagination.
The research on argan oil has shown that, like sunflower and olive oils, its fatty acid and antioxidant content has health benefits (such as lowering cholesterol) when consumed orally. As for topical use, there is limited information about argan oil's unique benefits. In one study, 20 subjects with combination to oily skin were evaluated using a cream containing argan oil, saw palmetto, and sesame seeds. Subjective and qualitative analysis showed that the oil was reduced by 20-42% depending on the inherent oiliness of various parts of the face. The study did not demonstrate that argan oil played a specific role in the results—all we know is that the random formula itself showed the benefit and it wasn't compared to any other product so the results are irrelevant. Moreover, the cream was only used for four weeks, so we don't know if ongoing use may have caused breakouts (and given the fatty acids present in argan oil, there is a possibility it can cause breakouts). Argan oil is a good plant oil to consider if skin or hair is dry to very dry, but is not better than many other non-fragrant plant oils used in cosmetics (Sources: Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, June 2007, pages 113–118; Clinical Nutrition, October 2004, pages 1,159–1,166; European Journal of Cancer Prevention, February 2003, pages 67–75; and Journal of Ethnopharmacology, October 1999, pages 7–14).
What we know to be true at this point is that argan oil isn't the one oil to look for, nor is it the best (Source: Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, December 2010, pages 1,669–1,675).
Cleanse and thoroughly moisturize with pads saturated with highly emollient Moroccan Argan Oil and Baobab extract.
Canola Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Hydrolyzed Adansonia Digitata Extract, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Acetate), BHT
Signature Club A At-a-Glance
Strengths: Several products contain proven anti-aging ingredients and are fragrance-free; reasonable prices; most of the capsules are worth a look; excellent blush and mascara.
Weaknesses: Many of the anti-aging claims are over-the-top, stretching the boundaries of what skin care can really do; jar packaging which doesn't keep the good ingredients in the products stable; the Meltdown cleansers tend to be highly fragrant; products for various areas (face, eyes, neck, and chest) tend to have remarkably similar formulas; poor foundation formulations with limited shade ranges; poor concealer and eye pencil.
Signature Club A is a line of skin care and makeup sold exclusively on the Home Shopping Network (HSN). The woman behind this brand, Adrien Arpel, has been involved in the world of cosmetics for over 40 years. Back in the 1970s she owned a namesake skin-care and makeup company sold in department stores.
Adrien Arpel sold her namesake line to a large corporation, but several years later, she had a falling-out with them. As a result of this falling out, she was prevented from attaching her name to another brand, so she began to market herself and her new products under the name "Adrienne." These products are now being sold under the brand Signature Club A.
As was true when Paula first reviewed Adrien Arpel's brand in the 1980s, there are more disappointments then strengths. This is not a line to turn to for anti-aging formulas despite the myriad options available, especially considering Signature Club A offers only one sunscreen. Dozens of anti-aging products and only one sunscreen should be illegal, but sadly it isn't, even though your skin will suffer as a result! Abundant research makes it incontrovertibly clear that you can't fight wrinkles, brown spots, and sagging skin without daily (and we do mean daily) use of a sunscreen designed for your skin type. And it should be loaded with antioxidants for even greater benefits.
Beyond skin care, the key to looking younger longer is to consider the corrective cosmetic procedures (Botox, dermal fillers, laser treatments) you feel comfortable having done. Indeed, the combination of a brilliant skin-care routine with the right cosmetic procedures can make a strikingly positive difference.
Whether you're intrigued by Signature Club A's skin care or makeup, there are only a handful of products to consider. This line is known for its large makeup kits. Although these may seem like a great deal, they aren't because most contain so-so products that aren't nearly as good as what many brands at the drugstore offer. They definitely don't have anything over the e.l.f. brand, which costs far less. Note that Adrienne's on-air presentations often spotlight makeup kits. These may seem like a great value, but they're not if the products are mediocre (most of them are) which means you'll be less likely to use them often, if at all.
Bottom line: You're not missing out on some anti-aging miracle or secret formula if you skip this line altogether. The curious should shop carefully, and follow our recommendations on what to avoid so you can be sure you're getting the best of what Signature Club A has to offer.

Interior Layout Developments
Interior design and style ideas also can become out of date. You can find three issues that shape changes in home design trends. Very First, the preferred choice of customers' modifications to the particular length of period. Second of all, technology emerges to make aged models obsolescent. 3rd, fiscal factors may customize the all round surroundings associated with interior planning. These 3 points will always condition the latest tendencies layout. These kinds of vital factors offers long term good or bad outcomes with a residence's perceived benefit.
Preferences of homeowners pertaining to home design concepts alter over time. Individuals mature as well as grow out of past choices, therefore; shaping the need in the home design marketplace. Popular home furniture over time fluctuated as a result of a maturing population. For example, the infant seniors already are aged catering to the particular good posture helpful models throughout settees and chairs. Contrary to the excitement decades when these folks were still small; it is currently obvious that there is a change in needs.
Good illustration of modifying preference will be the perspective of folks in their professions. Young specialists would rather invest upon more affordable stop items. They don't make investments about high-priced products; since on a common young adults change handle a minimum of 3 times inside subsequent Several years of their 20s living. Due to so they can just be happy with non permanent arranged federal express.
New improvements throughout technologies can also form requirement within the home design ideas. This props up exact same having using the need for brand new furniture. A lot more suitable for places of work, companies seek the very best output within their commercial as well as business office set up. Brand-new findings as well as ergonomic office products from furnishings businesses designed both the convenience as well as productivity involving workplaces.
Struggling corporations as well as a chance to increase the border of profits; these are the traveling causes that will catalyzed need for fresh style concepts. Somebody sitting pertaining to eight hours doing work in front in the laptop or computer may suffer various discomforts that can cause lapses throughout decision making. To relieve mistakes which lower a new business's income; the majority of companies spend in recliners that offer the small of the back. Rather than making use of chair richly in the backrests, companies focus on things that placed focus for you to ergonomic styles.
The 3rd issue affecting the general trends within interior design will be the economic climate. Along with humps within the financial systems all over the world, home owners have got decreased his or her afford upgrading and also renovation. As an alternative to investing thousands about fashionable patterns, many people employ fresh completed professional creative designers. This way, homeowners save money and keep top quality works via newbie experts.
For the companies buying home design, these three trends may help from the improvements of products these people realize. General market trends is paramount to any profitable enterprise whether or not offline or online. Furnishings and interior design are two inseparable concepts which are in hand. Without having a basic of the items to look into one, it's possible for these firms to be able to spend plenty of errors on their own part.
Risks involving personal bankruptcy loom in style as well as household furniture corporations without the proper info. Scientific studies are important for companies within this business to be able to flourish and begin a wide subsequent from all over the earth. This is why exactly why organizations spend a large part of these finances in order to perform researching the market before liberating an item. Using reviews that could increase the standing of a company, it is still any 50/50 predicament thinking about the personal preferences of a marketplace.

Five-goal blast ends Cup hopes
Posted: May 07, 2009|
GLOUCESTER CITY'S hopes of ending a memorable season with another piece of silverware were dashed by a clinical Bristol City side in the final of the Gloucestershire Senior Cup last night.
Four days after clinching promotion to the Blue Square regional level with a 1-0 play-off win at Farnborough Town, the Tigers were undone by a Bristol side containing a mixture of youngsters and first team fringe players at Ashton Gate.
It was an open and entertaining game to round off both teams' campaigns and Gloucester created plenty of chances during the first period, but they were punished for leaving gaps at the back.
Slovakian international Peter Styvar smashed an emphatic opener into the top left corner after 17 minutes as Joe Edwards' pass caught the Tigers' defence square.
Luke Ballinger saw a shot held by Bristol goalkeeper Stephen Henderson and leading scorer Alex Sykes blasted a free-kick over before seeing a fine curling effort turned over by Henderson at full stretch as David Mehew's side pressed for a leveller.
But Gloucester were carved open again in the 26th minute as James Wilson's ball forward found Styvar in acres of space and he confidently rounded Kevin Sawyer before slotting into the empty net.
Sykes sent another firm drive wide after receiving a free-kick from Ballinger, before Marlon Jackson struck a post for the home side as Gloucester struggled to cope with Bristol's attacking threat.
The holders capitalised on a slip from Matt Rose that allowed Scott Murray to play in John Akinde, who calmly finished into the bottom right corner to make it 3-0 in the 38th minute.
Sawyer dived to his left to beat away Murray's curling attempt, but the Ashton Gate fans' favourite rolled in number four three minutes into the second half on what is likely to be his last appearance in a Bristol City shirt.
Akinde was tripped from behind by Marc Richards in the 65th minute and he converted the resulting penalty, sending Sawyer the wrong way from the spot to make it 5-0.
The Tigers' consolation came in the 71st minute when substitute and former Bristol City Academy player Dean Grubb crossed for another ex-Bristol youngster Ballinger to head home from close range.
Ballinger sent an acrobatic scissors kick over the bar during a late rally for the non-leaguers, but with City fans still taking delight in their promotion, Bristol captain Murray lifted the cup for the second year in succession.
BRISTOL CITY: S Henderson; D Hennessy, J Edwards, J Wilson, D Ball; S Murray, A Kington (J Lennox 72), F Artus; P Styvar, J Akinde, M Jackson (R Stambolziev 46). Subs not used: N Livings; T Bradley, P Sayce.
GLOUCESTER CITY: K Sawyer; M Sysum, N Mustoe, M Richards; L Smith (B James 84), M Rose, J Harris, A Sykes, L Ballinger; W Morford (K Nash 76) J Pitcher (D Grubb 61). Subs not used: A Harris, D Mehew.

Richardson: Springtime in ToledoWritten by Rachel Richardson | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Springtime in Toledo means lots of things. Among them, it means lilacs near the university, trillium near the streams at Wildwood, and Robinwood Avenue in the Old West End coming to life in ways even my imagination had forgotten since last year.
For many Toledoans, spring also means it's time to get out bicycles and start incorporating them into day-to-day routines. Whether it means hipsters riding to work up and down Adams Street or organized pub crawls, most everyone I
know makes the transition joyfully.
Bicycles have even worked their way into the local economy, with Glass City Pedicabs taking to the streets of Uptown and the Warehouse District. It has taken me a long while to embrace this part of the city's culture.
Until recently, I claimed a bicycle phobia. Upon further examination, I think it was more like some drawn-out and extremely counterproductive obstinacy that I mastered as a 7-year-old when my stepdad insisted I learn to ride a bike like the rest of the kids in the world. Stubbornness is difficult to release when you're stubborn.
So, recently, I took myself to Toledo Bikes! (at the corner of Washington and 12th streets) to take advantage of this extremely valuable local resource and buy myself my first bicycle.
I've known about Toledo Bikes! for years (formerly known as The Bike Co-op). I've performed music at its fundraisers and learned, theoretically, the importance of the bicycle for a community in 2012 from some of th group's most ardent mouthpieces. I've beamed about the new bike rack program headed by the Arts Commission that called for designs from local artists to line the streets of Uptown and watched City Council members become activist government officials passionately taking up the cause and considering the needs of the bicyclist as a legitimate commuter on our city streets.
Frankly, I was starting to feel left out. Having politely declined invitations for a nice bike ride enough times to stop being asked, I realized that the only way to get into that fold where my friends were having so much fun was to take a forward step. Timely conversations on the topic led me to a kind offer from a friend who volunteers as a mechanic at Toledo Bikes!; she promised she would keep her eye out for the perfect green bike for me.
A couple of weeks later, our schedules worked out such that we met there on a warm Sunday afternoon. I walked in to find my new bike sitting in the middle of the shop having just been donated by a man I know and admire from each of our activist work. It wasn't green.
But the coincidence was too good to pass up. I spent the afternoon watching dedicated volunteers work on little details of my new bike that would have never occurred to me. They even installed a basket and made sure the headlight worked.
You could say they showed my new bike a little good, old-fashioned ToledoLOVE.
While all of this was going on, I was trying my hardest not to get in the way, but also making conversation with the mechanics and learning that one of the major players in the operation is a transplant to Toledo from Tucson, Ariz. Needless to say, I was thrilled to learn that he already feels at home in Toledo and seems to have seen enough return on his investment to stick around.
The icing on this cake came in the form of a stack of fliers on a table with pictures of and a message from the late Dr. Robert Brundage, a man who taught all of us how to be activists and whose legacy involves one of his most lovable traits — his constant travel by bike. Dr. Robert had made his way into my consciousness in a completely different way earlier that very week which only gave me more of an idea that I was doing the right thing by jumping into the experience of riding a bike in Toledo.
My journey home from the shop was beautiful and I took many many detours through Downtown which gave me mixed emotions because it was surreal and very cool to have intersections all to myself.
But, of course, I dream of a day when a Sunday afternoon in Downtown Toledo has enough hustle and bustle to make me a little nervous.
In the meantime, though, I look forward to rediscovering my city from a whole new, two-wheeled perspective.

The former Paris Saint-Germain trainee admits it has been a testing time since picking up an injury in pre-season and with the Dons defenders currently impressing, Kouo-Doumbe is having to be patient.
"It's been frustrating for a while now," he told the club's official website. "I was disappointed to get injured during pre-season but that's part of football and it's important you get your head right when you're injured and try and recover as quickly as possible.
"Sometimes, though, there's not much you can really do but I've always put my head down and worked hard with the physios and I've now been back in training for a few weeks.
"I'm just waiting for my chance. It's good to know that under Karl [Robinson] you'll keep your place if you're playing well so it's really important I take my opportunity when it comes."

Angelina Jolie's Hair in Vanity Fair
Do You Own a Wig?
by Beauty
Like us on Facebook
Check out these saucy photos of Angelina Jolie for the July issue of Vanity Fair. It's hard to believe that someone with her gorgeous mane would ever feel the need to wear a wig, but it was actually her idea at the photo shoot. I don't own a wig, but I do like to wear my clip-on hair extensions as much as possible. Do you own a wig?

Angelina Jolie's hair for about the last 10 years has been hair extensions and wigs. We haven't seen her real hair for a long time. Like her hair in The Tourist is a wig. She tried to get it similar to how she normally wears her hair, but you can tell the texture and thickness is different. It's certainly nothing wrong with wearing a wig or hair extensions. I've seen everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Sophia Loren in wigs. All these fake hair techniques have been worn in Hollywood for years. Another thing, wigs were favored by European artistocracy and the Egyptian royalty wore them, too. So they've been around for centuries actually.

I own a blond wig. It's like a bob cut and it was for Halloween. It was so uncomfortable (and cheap looking) that I didn't even end up wearing it the whole night. Oh well, got a couple hours out of it at least.

I have one wig, and one small hairpiece..rarely wear them but the wig is fab, its like a long, thick bob. (Something I cannot carry off) in a dark, dark chocolate brown. When I do wear it, I like it under a little black and white hat with a black turtleneck. And yeah its like a non-hat hat! But...I am wary about wearing it too much, always paranoid someone might be able to tell, or that it blows off or something bizarre. :D But the concept of wigs as just another accessory to me is so underappreciated, I would totally wear like..an emerald green or burgundy bob with thick fringe. The hairpiece, which I have had for ages, and maybe wear a couple of times a month, is a small curly lock of black-brown hair that you secure above a ponytail, then wrap it around the base to give the whole look a "no bands or accessories" look. I could do this with my own hair, but its a bit short for it at the moment, so this works great for a sleek and simple look.

The mother accused of setting fire to her home, killing four of her children took a plea deal in court Friday.
Bobbi Kugler pleaded guilty to manslaughter, assault and arson.
The plea deal sends her to prison for 7 to 15 years.
Kugler was charged with murder, she plead guilty to manslaughter, but both her lawyer and the district attorney's office say there's a reason for what happened.
It was freezing cold that morning last February, but inside lay four children dead in a fire. On Friday, their mother admitted she set it.
Kyle Steinebach, Assistant District Attorney, said, "There's no disposition that can be imposed by this court that could be a harder disposition that she did to her self by ultimately setting that fire and admitting that she played a role in the deaths of her four children."
The morning of the fire News10NBC's cameras captured Kugler handcuffed, hysterical and barefoot on the street. It looked like she wanted to get back into the house.
Kugler admitted set fire to a picture, put it on her dresser next to objects that could catch fire. Kugler said she drank four or five 40 ounce bottles of malt liquor and popped a handfull of sleeping pills.
Steinebach said, "Our office looks for justice in this matter. There's never been an allegation in this case that Ms. Kugler intentionally killed her children or intentionally injured anyone in that fire."
Now she's looking at seven to 15 years in prison.
Michael Lopez, Kugler's Defense Attorney, said, "The whole reason why she came to Rochester was to try to get a better life for her four kids than she had previously been able to provide for them where she was living before and to get her deaf son into the School for the Deaf. And those things obviously weren't able to happen. "
It was difficult to understand everything Bobbi Kugler was saying because she was sobbing uncontrollably when she was answering questions. At one point, the prosecutor asked her if she needed a break. She answered, 'No, I want it over."
Bobbi Kugler has two other children. Her attorney would not say who was taken care of them. He just said, "That's the family's business."

The second, The Age of Romanticism, takes readers from debates over the picturesque through British Romanticism to late Victorian criticism.

Montecristo Classic Reviews
For the most expensive cigar in my sampler, it tasted alot like the cheap cigars I tried. I would not buy again.
I don t see why this one has so many bad reviews, it was a great smooth creamy smoke start to finish, burned nicely and an easy draw
Cigar snobs don t like these because they are not from Cuba, but after 2 I find myself enjoying them quite a bit. My humidor is filled with the best cigars from Arturo Fuente, Davidoff, and Padron so I know good cigars. This one is a guilty pleasure as it has a perfect burm, draw, and wonderful thick smoke. It s mild to medium bodied with a buttery flavor at first that transitions to sweet to chocolate flavor that I enjoy. While it s not in the same league as my premiums, I find myself craving it and enjoying it to the nub. I think this one is underrated on average and not a bad smoke. If you like R%26J s then you should enjoy this for a cheap smoke
I wasn t expecting much from this cigar as my expectation of the non-Cuban Montecristo was low, but I was pleasantly surprised. In fact, I must qualify my rating with the fact that I let mine dry out and they I over moistened it, so I expected it would be a total loss. However, I was very surprised to discover that despite the rough voyage it went through to get to smoking day, it was actually very flavorful. It was tough to light which at first I thought might be due to the turmoil that my stick went through, but reading others reviews it seems my experience was consistent with others. The flavor was very, very good ? much better than expected, and I m someone that has a strong bias to Davidoff Millennium Blend Rubusto %26 AF Hemingway Signature, so I expected to to be very disappointed. Sadly an interruption caused me to cut my smoke short, but I ve added this one to my wish list as I d like another shot on a properly cared for version that I can enjoy until the sweet end. I enjoyed the aroma and found the flavor to be slightly sweet and chocolatey - exactly like I like it. Strength-wise I d call it very mild, and the burn was very loose and ragged. The draw was excellent, as was the taste and consistency. The construction was Average to Above Average.
This is the best smoke I ve enjoyed in a long time! Smooth, flavorful, not overbearing.
Fairly good flavour and a good medium cigar, but wrapper started to crack and unravel half way through smoking it.
What can I say...the cigar was bland and did not burn well at all. I expect more from Montecristo but I would avoid this one at all cost. Not worth the money or time.
This cigar is an imposter! A true fake montecristo. The burn was nice but the flavour was terrible. Just stick with the real deal and buy the cuban made (real montecristo).
This is a mild but very flavorful smoke that has been a consistently excellent smoke for me for at least the last decade. I can't afford to smoke them all the time but I buy a few boxes a year and smoke them when I have friends or family over. They never disappoint. Nice flavor, beautiful aromatic smoke. The least constant thing has been the ash but its not that important to me. For me this cigar is an affordable and enjoyable luxury.
For the most expensive cigar in my sampler, it tasted alot like the cheap cigars I tried. I would not buy again.
At the time of this review the rating for the Classic Churchill natural is a 97. This just seems way too high of a rating. That's next to perfect. Huh!!!??? The cigar seemed to be well constructed, cut easily, but was a little slow to light. The burn was OK, mostly burning consistantly and the draw was very nice. The ash didn't hold up very well as it dropped very early, held a while, then dropped quickly again. This didn't seem to effect the taste though as it has for other cigars I have smoked. The aroma was nice and the taste was good but not "Oh my God" good. A pleasant enough smoke although I was getting bits of tobacco in my mouth regularly. Not that big a deal. It stayed lit with no sign of quiting on me. Overall it wasn't a bad smoke, in fact it was good, but to be rated so high and sell for over $10 a stick I was expecting MUCH more. Taste being subjective, I am glad others like it so much, but for me, I'll pass for cheaper and equally good cigars.

Read Poems by
Cheryl Aldea
I used to love the sound of falling leaves
And to stare at the sky that hides in the dusk
And to feel the autumn breeze that touches me
It brings back the memories of the past
Those are the moments that I had to cherish
Memories that I could still recall
From the old photograph of us
It seems that was only yesterday
This Old photograph was old as a century
But still, it brings back the tears and smile
From another place and time
Beautiful moments that grew inside my heart
It reminded me of the days when you were mine
From the first time that you held my hands
From the moment you are closer to mine.
A way that always left me here with a smile
The world will turn and the seasons will change
But still, this old photograph collects special memories
I want those sweet days back again
About the times we spent along on it.
~~Time will passed by but the memories of photographs are always stay in our hearts.

Potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee stupidly reminded America last Thursday that the Grand Old Party (GOP) is still fighting its absurd war on women.
I know what you're thinking: Davy, come on, now! You can't be serious! Mike Huckabee is too smart to say anything that would even remotely remind America that Republican politicians don't honor and respect women as equals, isn't he?
Actually . . . no.
Mike Huckabee thought it would be a good idea to try to shift the nation's attention away from the GOP's war on women by accusing Democrats of trying to convince women to turn to the federal government for help in controlling their libidos.
Huckabee's word, not mine!
In his address to the Republican National Committee's meeting in Washington, D.C., Huckabee said: "If the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or reproductive system without the help of the government, so be it. Let us take that discussion all across America."
He went on to say, "Republicans no longer accept listening to Democrats talk about a 'war on women. Republicans don't have a war on women. [We] have a war for women — for them to be empowered to be something other than victims of their gender."
Is Huckabee serious when he tries to convince us that Republicans have a war FOR women or is he kidding himself?
After all, it isn't the Democratic Party that pushes 'personhood' bills to make criminals of women who choose to plan whether or not they have children, it isn't the Democratic Party that continually works to subvert legal abortion in this country, and it isn't the Democratic Party that went so far as to make defunding Planned Parenthood part of its national political agenda in 2012.
Moreover, it isn't the Democratic Party that opposes equal pay for women or fails to include women in party leadership roles.
Like it or not, admit it or not, irrespective of what former preacher Mike Huckabee tries to make us believe, Republican politicians in state legislatures around the nation and in Washington, D.C. have, for the past several years, consistently and continually turned their backs on the best interests of American women from all walks of life.
So . . . no matter who Mike Huckabee's trying to kid . . . we ain't buyin' it.
Are we?
