ATHENS, Ga.--The No. 9 Georgia women's tennis team (13-3, 6-1) will play host to No. 7 Texas A&M and Missouri this weekend. Friday's match against the Aggies will start at 5 p.m. On Sunday, first serve will be at 1 p.m. and will be aired live on ESPN3 as part of the USTA College MatchDay series.
Georgia is a combined 10-0 all-time against the SEC's newest members, beating both on the road last year.
As part of the College MatchDay format, singles matches will be played first. If the needed, doubles will be played using a 10-point super tiebreaker format.
All matches are held at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex and admission is free. Live scoring and the live chat will be available on Georgiadogs.com.
Quick Hits:
Georgia's loss to No. 11 Vanderbilt snapped a nine-match winning streak
With its win over No. 28 Kentucky on Friday, the Bulldogs won their 800th win in program history.
Georgia is undefeated against the newest pair of SEC foes. Last season, the Bulldogs beat Missouri in St. Louis (match was played in St. Louis due to an issue with Missouri's indoor courts in Columbia) before winning a 4-2 thriller at Texas A&M which included a lengthy weather delay.
Sunday's match will be part of the USTA's College MatchDay program. In addition to the fan experience trailer, ESPN3 will carry the match live, broadcasted by Kevin Corke and Mark Bey. The match is the tenth and final match of the season to be streamed on ESPN3 as part of the USTA's initiative.
Sunday's match will use an experimental format proposed by an advisory group of NCAA Division I athletic directors, in which all six singles matches will be played first (best-of-three tiebreak sets format) and doubles only being played if nessesary (10-point super tiebreaks).
Earlier this week, Kate Fuller was honored at the Georgia Peach of an Athlete Role Model banquet as a collegiate nominee.
Georgia is No. 9 in the latest rankings; the Bulldogs have four ranked singles players and four ranked doubles pairs.
On Texas A&M and Missouri: The Aggies and the Tigers enter this weekend going in different directions.
Texas A&M is ranked No. 7 and has won seven matches in a row. They have one ranked doubles pair (Stancu/Hristov-39) and three ranked in singles (Stancu-12, Gavrilovska-62, Mamalat-109).
Missouri is unranked and has no singles or doubles players ranked.
Top Dogs: The Georgia women's tennis team is No. 9 in the ITA's latest computer rankings of the spring.
The Bulldogs have four singles players and four doubles pairs in the latest individual rankings. Lauren Herring and Silvia Garcia are in the Top-20 at No. 6 and No. 19, respectively. Maho Kowase sits at No. 21 and Lilly Kimbell sits at No. 63. In doubles, Herring and Kowase are ranked No. 2, while Kate Fuller and Silvia Garcia improved to No. 25. Caroline Brinson and Lilly Kimbell cracked the rankings at No. 68. Kimbell is also ranked with Mia King at No. 53.
The Georgia women's tennis program is one of just two SEC schools to have the only in the SEC to have three singles players ranked in the Top-25 and is the only school in the conference to have two doubles pairs ranked in the Top-25.
What's Next? Georgia takes to the air for its final SEC road trip of the spring, traveling to take on No 45 Arkansas and No. 49 LSU.
800-Win Club: With its 4-0 win over No. 28 Kentucky, the Georgia women's tennis program joined an exclusive club, becoming one of just three Division I women's tennis programs in the 800-win club. The other are Florida (943), Stanford (909) and Indiana (809). *The NCAA and ITA records for program wins are incomplete so these totals are based on a survey of SIDs. Updated 3/24/14.
Herring Garners SEC Player of the Week Honors: Herring went 2-0 in both singles and doubles, including three top-ten wins to help Georgia win three matches two weeks ago. She beat Julia Elbaba of Virginia, 6-4, 6-4 and No. 8 Olivia Janowicz of Florida, 6-2, 6-4.
In doubles, Herring and partner Maho Kowase went 2-0 against two top-25 opponents. The duo clinched a critical doubles point against No. 9 Julia Elbaba and Rachel Pierson of Virginia, 8-6 and shutout No. 24 Belinda Woolcock and Sofie Oyen of Florida, 8-0.
This marks the second time that Herring has won SEC Player of the Week honors this spring. Last week, Herring was the lone Bulldog to go 2-0 in singles.
Kate The Great: When Silvia Garcia and Kate Fuller won their doubles match against Furman on Feb. 21, Fuller set the record for most career doubles wins in Georgia women's tennis history. Fuller passes former Georgia greats Naoko Ueshima (2007-10, 109-50), Chelsey Gullickson (2009-12, 106-42) and Cameron Ellis (2008-11, 103-54). Fuller and Garcia are 20-4 this year and 9-1 in their last ten matches. Last season, the Fuller was 40-9 in doubles (26-4 with Garcia).
UGA Looking Forward to Full Third Sets: Much has been made about the ITA's experimental rules used during the indoor season. The rules shortened matches by shrinking doubles matches to just a six-game set and removing full third sets in singles matches to instead play a 10-point super tiebreak.
After a quick look at the numbers, it's easy to see why the Bulldogs are surely looking forward to the return of full third sets. Last season, the current Bulldogs won 75 percent of matches that went to a full third set. Over the course of each of their careers, the current Georgia squad wins nearly 70 percent of matches that go the full length.
Non-Conference Success: The Bulldogs had six "guaranteed" non-conference matches, five which against opponents ranked in the latest ITA rankings. Georgia went 5-0 in those matches (No. 75 Elon, No. 51 Arkansas, No. 13 Clemson, No. 25 Georgia Tech, No. 5 Virginia) and added a win over No. 9 Miami (Fla.) at ITA National Team Indoors.
And that's just non-conference play. The Southeastern Conference is among the best in the country with six ranked teams, five (No. 4 Florida, No. 6 Alabama, No. 7 Texas A&M, No. 9 Georgia, No. 10 Vanderbilt) are in the Top-10.
It's a Family Affair: Georgia welcomes third-generation Bulldog Caroline Brinson to the team this spring. The New Orleans native's grandfather, Vernon Brinson, played baseball at Georgia from 1958-59, and her mother, the former Elizabeth Alexander, played tennis for Georgia from 1988-89, helping the Bulldogs to the SEC Championship in 1989. The New Orleans native is still finishing up her senior year high school requirements while jointly enrolled at UGA. Brinson and doubles partner Lilly Kimbell are 11-1 while she is 4-1 in singles competition.
Where's Wallace: In 2013, head coach Jeff Wallace became one of just four women's tennis coaches to reach the 600-win mark. The winningest active coach in women's college tennis, Wallace ranks fourth on the all-time wins list. There's a complete list on page five of this notes package.
Wallace's excellence isn't just limited to the women's side as he is just one of six active collegiate tennis coaches (of men or women) to reach the 600-win mark. He is also just the fifth coach in UGA's history to reach the 600-win mark (A. Landers, L. Harris-Champer, S. Yoculan, D. Magill).
NCAA Championships in Athens: The Dan Magill Tennis Complex will be the home of the NCAA Tennis Championships in May 2014 and 2017. It has played host to the men's NCAA Championships 24 times and the women's NCAA Championships three times, in addition to three combined tournaments for a total of 30, most recently in 2012. The women claimed the national title in 1994 and at home in 2000.
The Future is Bright: In addition to Brinson, head coach Jeff Wallace announced the signing of juniors tennis standouts Mariana Gould and Hannah King who will arrive on campus in the fall of 2014. Gould, a five-star blue chip recruit, is ranked No. 19 in the Class of 2014 according to TennisRecruiting.net, and has been ranked as high at No. 5 in her class's recruiting rankings. Gould's junior's career is highlighted by two doubles Gold Balls.
King has sported a Top-100 ITF ranking, and has been ranked in the top five in her recruiting class by Tennisrecruiting.net since her freshman year. She received a wild card into the U.S. Open Junior Championships qualifying this year and, in 2011, played in the main draw of the U.S. Open Junior Championships in both singles and doubles, along with being a finalist in multiple ITF events.

Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola needs to clarify future with City lurking
Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola remains stoically noncommittal over his future with the German champions, despite his deal having just one more season to run.
The Catalan continued to stonewall polite enquiries about his plans ahead of German football's curtain-raiser as Bayern suffered their third consecutive Super Cup defeat under Guardiola, this time at the hands of Wolfsburg.
"I haven't yet decided what is best for this club -- and I want to do my best for this club. I haven't made a decision...

Galiardo knows a thing or two about restaurants. In the past he has opened such spots as Max's, Noma's, Cafe Sol and Carmella's Trattoria in the city.
What do all these resturants have in common? None of them are open anymore.
Do you remember when filing an annual audit report used to be a legal requirement?
How about the Local Government Unit Debt Act. What happens to those who do not abide by its legal requirments....
Obama is bad but everyone knows Romney is a loser. Even with his party "protecting" non existant voter fraud he still won't win PA. Too bad the R's can't come up with some one that is paletable.
I think it was a good idea. Nobody thought Troegs would make it, or ABC Brewrey or the Harrisburg Senators or that anyone would ever go out downtown after 5pm. The project has been challanged but give the guy some credit for choosing to invest his own money in a structure that was no more then a pigeon roost and derelic home. Say what you want but these guys have balls of steel. Thats why this town sucks because everyone is an annonomus critic. If more people took initive to do something rather then try to tear everyone else down maybe we could make our city a better place. To try and fail is better then sitting at your computer complaining. Get a grip harrisburg
This means about as much as saying that linda thompson does not like the dodgers uniforms. It has no basis on the outcome.
Im not sure how this isn't illegal. They are limiting the use of properties which basicly devalues the entire downtown area. Your basiclly stelling the property sellers money. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
Why be restrictive. I think the abundance of vacant storefronts in mechanicsburg speaks for itself. They should be finding ways to attract businesses to the town rather then finding ways keep people who want to invest in mechanicsburg out
Why not hire a full time grants manager for $50K?
Greenlee is also the lobbiest for dauphin county
Hartwick=steelton=swatara=greenlee. keep it in the family
Its an obvious stall tactic to make it to 6-30. The end of the bankruptcy moritorium.
Council has no cards left to play.
Surprise another loser business run by snooty Melissa Galiardo...
Why don't you put your big boy pants on and sit down and have a discussion with the man of how you woule like business done rather then hiding behind your roberts rules of order and parlimentary procedures. Stupid to lose good people because of frail egoed politicians with low self confidence.
Someone from city council show some leadership and invite the mayor and controller to a meeting so they can discuss and come up with a solution other then litigating each other over the sale of artifacts that can turn something that everyone agrees is totally useless to the city into cash to help pay police officer and fire fighter salaries.
Publicize that your doing this and invite the media so everyone knows that the dysfunctional city is turning over a new leaf and commited to working with each other.
Corbett being upset he is leaving is like him saying he wishes joe paterno would have done more.
What steelton did right was have george hartwick help them out. Who has been on the govt teat for life.
The attorney general should not be representing this guy. He was acting as a customer not according to his professional responsiblitly. Let this bully pay for his own legal council.
You people need to get a clue. Paxton st is like chinatown in harrisburg right now. This is in the right place and compliments the other asian businesses along paxton. although it is close to hall manor Its not a high crime area. Im certain that the naysayers posting have never been there. go there and check it out. the mall is really nice. I think the tenants were bad at business.
If you don't have $10 to support the farm and expose your family to wonderful things that is just sad.
There is a boy scout run lot behind Holsum bread on cameron st. Its $8 and there is no need to deal with the busses. I did notice thought there is no "walk, don't walk" signs at cameron and mcclay intersection. Seems to be a safety hazard. I know times are tough but where else can you go enjoy yourself for an evening for less then $10?
Kroboth is more incomepetant then he is hiding the truth. I think the major issue is Kroboth is just a talking head and can't really do any work. The accounting manager does not even have an accounting degree and isn't capable of completing his job duties. All of the heavy lifting is being done by a 24 year old kid in the budget office who just graduated college. Hopefully the receiver will recognize the deficiencies in the finance department and assemble a solid staff. If the existing staff is allowed to continue Im afraid it will be more of the same.
the local ordinance must be in compliance with state law that makes this possible. My understanding is that they only allow 3, 5 or 10. Why they are wasting time spinning their wheels trying to pass something that is in conflict with state law and cant be done is a good question.

Youth clubs face a wide range of risks, even if they aren't immediately obvious. A club attendee injuring themselves during an activity, theft of the club's belongings or an allegation of wrongdoing against one of the club's trustees could have a severe financial impact on your children's or youth club. Few clubs have the financial resource to be able to defend a claim against such scenarios.
Our youth club insurance can provide cover against these risks and more. Insuring your club with Markel will give you the peace of mind that if something doesn't quite go to plan, you will be covered.
We'll take the time to understand the activities your youth club undertakes and explain the cover options available to you in plain English. Premiums start at just £6 a month - get a quote now or call us on 0845 373 0405!
In addition to insuring thousands of charitable organisations over the last 20 years, we have raised over £130,000 for our supported charity, Carers Trust, and we are headline sponsors of the Third Sector Excellence Awards.
Trustee indemnity insurance covers the legal costs and expenses of defending against disqualification as a trustee, investigations or extradition proceedings, protecting the trustee's personal wealth. If your club or group has trustees, you should give serious consideration to trustee indemnity insurance. Cover from £250k to £1m.
Professional indemnity insurance covers the cost of defending your club against allegations of professional negligence, such as giving poor or incorrect advice to a user of your services.
Entity Defence covers your charity against identity fraud, investigations (other than by HM Revenue & Customs), corporate manslaughter and breach of contract. Entity defence is provided in your policy at no additional cost when trustee indemnity insurance and professional indemnity insurance are included in your policy. Cover for £25,000.
Public and product liability insurance and employer's liability insurance
Public and product liability insurance covers the cost of defending your club or group if someone is injured, or their property damaged, due to your negligence. Without cover in place, the legal fees alone could cost your group thousands of pounds. Cover for £5m.
Employer's liability insurance is a legal requirement if you employ staff or volunteers. It covers against allegations of injury or illness suffered by staff during their employment. If your club or group has employees on a full time, part time or volunteer basis, this cover is essential. Cover for £10m.
It is important to choose a limit that will not leave you underinsured in the event of a claim; consider the size of your organisation and the potential impact a claim could have on it. You may find that councils and village halls require your club to have a certain limit in place in order to use their facilities, so be sure to check before you arrange cover.
Our youth club insurance can be tailored to provide as little or as much cover as you need, so you are guaranteed to find the right cover, regardless of the size of your club.
Get a quote now or call us on 0845 373 0405 to insure your youth club with an expert.

Filppula lands in Tampa Bay: five years, $25 million
Jul 5, 2013, 3:17 PM EDT
Valtteri Filppula got what he wanted.
The former Detroit center — who was gunning for a five-year deal worth at least $5 million annually — has signed a five-year, $25 million deal with the Tampa Bay Lightning, according to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun.
The move, combined with the Daniel Alfredsson and Stephen Weiss signings, marks a changing of the guard in Detroit.
Filppula had spent his entire professional career with the Red Wings, debuting in 2005-06 — as a teammate of franchise legend and current Bolts GM Steve Yzerman.
The 29-year-old Finn had a breakout campaign in 2011-12, scoring a career-high 23 goals and 66 points. But this season, coming out of the lockout, was a struggle in terms of overall offensive production.
He had just nine goals and 17 points in 41 games played, and his playoff production — two goals and six points in 14 games — left a lot to be desired as well.
Of course, Filppula was in the final year of a five-year, $15 million deal with Detroit and seemed determined to test free agent waters.
With a weak free agent center class and his 2011-12 season highlighting his resume, it was expected someone would make a sizeable offer, even with a down 2013 campaign.
Tampa Bay turned out to be the team.
With the move, the Lightning solve their second-line center situation, which had a sizable hole after the club bought out longtime captain Vincent Lecavalier.
The Filppula deal now puts Tampa Bay roughly $3.5 million away from the salary cap ceiling.
- bruceeff - Jul 5, 2013 at 3:31 PM
Tampa Bay overpaid by a wide margin but they were short on options. Future buyout?
- mathieug79 - Jul 5, 2013 at 10:28 PM
Nope, in detroit he was never given fair chance, he has a 23G 43A season. Filppula can play in every situation, give him some good linemates and he'll thrive. He wins faceoffs, he kills penalties, and plays good defense! I think under Coach Jon Cooper he will no doubt have a breakout year, and all you haters will lay off him! IMO rather have this guy coming from Detroit system, (even at 800k more) than Tyler Bozak! I still think the worst deal today was Ryane Clowe to the devils!
- polegojim - Jul 6, 2013 at 9:55 AM
Your crazy… he was given EVERY opportunity.
But I like your hopeful approach.
- phillyphanatic77 - Jul 5, 2013 at 4:07 PM
Just another overpay to go along with all the rest today. But he does slot in nicely at the #2C spot. Although I don't think you can say he's an upgrade over Lecavalier.
- redgreentape - Jul 5, 2013 at 4:30 PM
Thank You Tampa Bay. I was afraid Wings would resign him. Yes, he does score some but not when needed, and power plays, not much help their either. He no go to guy. He is not worth 5 mil, Mgt screwed up on this one.
- dtownbeatdown - Jul 5, 2013 at 5:51 PM
Good riddance. What he is, is a great puck handler, and he can score… sometimes, but he is weak on the puck, and streaky. No consistency and definitely not worth 5 million a year. But what do I know I am just a fan.
- polegojim - Jul 5, 2013 at 6:29 PM
Yes… all due respect… but only a little of it.
- mathieug79 - Jul 5, 2013 at 10:40 PM
In all fairness to the haters, If BOZAK is worth $4.2M/year for 5yrs. and David Clarkson worth 5.25$M/year for 7 years including No movement clauses (with one good season). Even if we overpaid for 1M$/year, how much prospects/picks would we have to give up for a #2C????? Obviously Steve Yzerman wanted to keep his depth and his picks, So what other options were left when Weiss picked Detroit over $? Valterri Filppula, I think this guy with a more offensive system will thrive! At least we know we can trade him(unlike Clarkson who in TO for 7 years with a NMC) He wont be bought out! he'll play his 5 years and become the perfect #2C. Its not like Vinny last season at 2C was putting monster point, if he gets 40 fine, 60 bonus, 70 gravy! I expect him to put up 50-70 pts next season!!!! playing alongside Stamkos, St Louis, Drouin, Malone, Purcell, Tyler Johnson, Brett Connolly will only make him better!
- mtheparrothead - Jul 6, 2013 at 9:13 AM
You make it sound like he was surrounded by a bunch of schmucks in Detroit. He's not magically going to play better because of the players you listed
- vikes1980 - Jul 6, 2013 at 12:16 PM
I hear all this talk about how he is going to be around better talent in Tampa.. get a clue.. He played with Datsyuk,Zetterberg,Lidstrom , some of the best players to Ever play this game… I understand you think he is good after having one good season in 7 seasons, but he is barely mediocre.. you'll find that out soon enough… your team really blew this one..and if you think Stevie Y is gonna help, don't forget they were together in Detroit… facts are facts… good luck

This Is It was one of our favorite films of 2009, but it was missing something…and we think we just found it. Sure, the film was all about the music of Michael Jackson, but what about giving some respect to his famous glove??? It seems everyone except Kristin Chenoweth forgot about that notorious piece of handwear. As she gears up to host the Critics' Choice Movie Awards on Friday night at 9PM EST on VH1, allow us to provide you with her latest video short, which has her looking like a cross between a flashy disco ball, a gummy bear and an oven mitt. It's a real sight to behold, and you're seeing it exclusively here before it airs on the show.
In addition to Chenoweth's stellar hosting skills, the show will feature a whole boatload of A-list presenters – where else can you find Meryl Streep mixing with Amy Poehler, or Adam Lambert hobnobbing with Bradley Cooper? With this kind of talent on-hand, someone has to cover it, so check back with us while we live blog the whole thing.

Celebrating Native American heritage
"As the first people to live on the land we all cherish, American Indians and Alaska Natives have profoundly shaped our country's character and our cultural heritage. Today, Native Americans are leaders in every aspect of our society -- from the classroom, to the boardroom, to the battlefield.
"This month, we celebrate and honor the many ways American Indians and Alaska Natives have enriched our Nation, and we renew our commitment to respecting each tribe's identity while ensuring equal opportunity to pursue the American dream."
Those words, from the presidential proclamation declaring November American Indian Heritage Month, sum up well why the observances at UNC this month are so important and appropriate.
The university's ties with that heritage are both physical and emotional.
"It's the relationships to a place, more than simply the place itself, that we work to understand and struggle through," Daniel Heath Justice from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver told an audience at a program kicking off the month last week.
UNC was built on land once inhabited by the Shakori, Eno and Sissipahaw peoples, Chris Teuton observed in a report by The Herald-Sun's April Dudash on Wednesday.
Teuton said North Carolina is home to the largest Native American population east of the Mississippi, and Native Americans have attended the university since Henry Owl became the first person of color to graduate in 1929.
Events at UNC this month will include a seminar on "The American Indian Higher Education Experience," a musical performance "by unheard voices," a Morehead Planetarium program on "Native American skies," beading lessons and an "American Indian Heritage Celebration."
A celebratory theme quite rightly permeates the program.
But the month is, especially for those of us not Native American, a time to reflect on the darker side of this country's relationship with its original inhabitants.
"In paying tribute to Native American achievements, we must also acknowledge the parts of our shared history that have been marred by violence and tragic mistreatment. For centuries, Native Americans faced cruelty, injustice, and broken promises," the presidential proclamation notes. "As we work together to forge a brighter future, we cannot shy away from the difficult aspects of our past."
Those words ring true, and provide a backdrop on campus and beyond for a month that, as NC's website page about the events, "recognizes contemporary American Indian tribes and individuals as active participants in American society and honors their histories, cultures and achievements. This month also marks a time to note the existence of American Indian tribes and reflect on their significance in American history and contributions to American culture."
We join in those sentiments.

Judgment Day for princeling Bo Xilai: Hard time or 'Chinese-style rule by law'?
Special to WorldTribune.com
By Willy Lam, East-Asia-Intel.com
The Beijing leadership is set to wrap up the case of former Politburo member and Chongqing Party Secretary Bo Xilai before the end of February.
Princeling Bo, 63, the son of revered Party elder Bo Yibo, has been accused of crimes including corruption, abuse of power, an "immoral lifestyle," as well as forming a conspiratorial cabal against the Chinese Communist Party leadership.
Similar to cases involving major political prisoners, Bo's fate will be decided by the ruling Politburo Standing Committee and the Central Political-Legal Commission, which has direct control of the police and the courts.
Chinese sources close to the judicial apparatus say in view of the frontal challenge that Bo posed to the authority of both former President Hu Jintao and new General Secretary Xi Jinping, there is a good possibility that he will be slapped with a suspended death sentence after a quick trial that will be closed to the public.

At Home Chemical PeelPosted: February 25th, 2009 | Author: Chemical Peel Guide | Filed under: At Home Chemical Peels, Chemical Peel Information | Tags: at home chemical peel, chemical peel, chemical peel tips, Chemical Peels, DIY chemical peel | No Comments »
Have you ever considered an at home chemical peel?
It's hard to be beautiful, but it's even harder to stay beautiful. You've probably heard of chemical peels by now, or at least have a slight awareness of them. They help you defy nature by keeping you as beautiful as you were ten or twenty years ago. Chemical peels do this by 'pruning away' the older, dying layer of skin on your face to let younger, more vigorous skin take its place.
Of course, anyone would like to keep themselves beautiful. However, you may not have the money or the time to constantly visit your dermatologist for a regularly-scheduled chemical peel. For situations like this, you have the option of using at home chemical peels.
What are at home chemical peels?
Simply put, an at home chemical peel has the same components of a chemical peel that a professional dermatologist uses, just in different concentrations. They're also a lot simpler to apply and use, compared to professional-grade chemical peels.
This means you can buy them over-the-counter, read the instructions and apply them in the comfort of your own home. You don't need to schedule an appointment, you don't need to wait in line, and you don't have to face the weird stares of your neighbors when they notice that strange after-glow of a face that's just been freshly treated with a chemical peel.
What should I consider?
Skin Sensitivity – You should be very careful when using chemical peels without the supervision of a doctor. Skin sensitivity is the number one reason why. If you don't check your own skin sensitivity before splashing on some chemicals, you may end up disfiguring your face rather than beautifying it.
Normally, an at home chemical peel set has a list of instructions, indications and contra-indications for use. Read them carefully, as they will instruct you on how to assess your skin sensitivity. It also doesn't hurt to ask the doctor or dermatologist where you got your at home chemical peel set from.
Activity – You really, really, do not want to have to go outdoors a lot when you've just finished a chemical peel. Your skin will be a lot more sensitive to the sun, the elements and irritants that outside-world will bombard it with. Schedule your at home chemical peel sessions when you've got nothing to do for a day or two. Weekends, vacations, and job leaves are the perfect times to do just that.
What should I do after my peel?
- Avoid going outdoors – again, your skin will be sensitive after getting a peel. Don't let all your work be undone by exposing your skin to the dust and dirt of the outdoors.
- Wear sun block – if you absolutely have to go outdoors, make sure to apply generous amounts of sun block. This will prevent your skin from being damaged by the sun's rays.
- Avoid other chemicals – including facial creams, make-up, exfoliates and other stuff you put on your face. You may never know if the components will interact negatively with the components of an at home chemical peel.
- Don't irritate your skin – as much as you would like to touch your skin and feel its youthfulness spring back to life, avoid this temptation. You may irritate your skin not only with the rubbing motion, but because of the oil and dirt on your fingertips.
If there's one thing you should do before rushing to splash those chemicals on your face, read the instructions carefully. As enthusiastic as you are about bringing back that youthful glow to your face, you'll definitely end up much worse if you screw up on the application of the chemicals! So there you have it: with at home chemical peels, you've got both potency and convenience in the palm of your hand.

GTA V AmmuNation Discount
<< Previous Hint | Back to Index | Next Hint >>
If you think you're paying too much for your guns and ammo in GTA V, this handy tip will see you paying less for life.
You need to go to an Ammu-Nation store with a shooting range. Use the range for the measly cost of $14, and complete all three challenges with each weapon. Simply passing all the challenges (Bronze or higher) will give you a 10% discount; earning Silver or higher on all of them will earn you 15%, and achieving Gold on each will yield a tasty 25% discount. The only drawback is that you will need to do this once with each character.
Of course, in addition to the savings, you'll also heavily improve the character's shooting skill, and by the time you've completed all challenges on Gold the shooting skill should be very nearly at maximum. Earning a Gold medal on all of the firing range challenges isn't an easy task, however, so here are a few tips to help you out:
Always use the best available weapon
Initially you will only have access to the first and most basic weapon in each class. After completing the first challenge you will gain access to the second, and after earning a Gold medal on one of the three challenges, you will unlock the third and most advanced. On unlocking the third weapon, go back to any challenges in which you failed to achieve Gold, and you should find it substantially easier.
Get Consecutive shots on the target
Hitting the centre of the target multiple times in a row will earn you a score multiplier – very useful indeed for the Machine Gun challenges where you can earn strings of +300 point shots to boost up your score.
Be smart about reloading
This is especially true with the Light Machine Guns, as the reloading time is about three seconds. Try to reload during lulls where no targets are showing so that you don't miss out on hitting your maximum potential score.
Be persistent
Don't give up on getting that Gold medal after a few tries; some of the challenges will take several attempts to get used to, particularly the ones with moving targets. You will get there in the end!
Finally, take a look at this video for a complete visual guide:
Follow the above guide and you should get your Ammu-Nation discount in no time at all.

Made me realize that a stash' doesnt fit me...
I just wanted to be a real finnish man like Whitey
And it also seems that hair does not fit me either... Here's an older pic with no hair and no stash:
It's just quite weak and with me having light hair... Light-brown weak-stashe :P Barely visible on the pic, more visible IRL.
As for hair/bald... I'm getting a mixed message here Though I do agree that hair makes me look a bit younger.
As for bald.... Well according to my mom I look like a 30-year-old who just got out of prison :P But she is a bit oldschool like that.
Maybe I'll get a proper picture with a proper camera so you can actually see shit in the picture, lol.

Not much of a beard here. I prefer to keep mine around the 5 o'clock shadow range, except for the bit on my chin... *shrug*
Anyway... there I am (harsh lighting and all). Hi lol
@ Drunkenfinn you definitely got a good skullshape at least judging from the front, I'd keep it that way! If for nothing else to prepare for the inevitable balding
Funny thing is I used to hate being bald and never even dreamt of cutting my hair untill I went to the army. I then realized having a shaved head is awesome :P
(heck I even had relatively long hair back in college but cut it short after it started going curly O_o)
My dad still has perfect hair at 60 years old so I dont think I'll be going bald anytime soon. And neither is my brother, 36, bald... yet. But you never know Kalja pitää kaljun loitolla!
@Badhairday: You look just like a guy that I know... kinda creepy actually DOPPELANGER TIME!

By Paul StoneAmerican Forces Press Service
Washington, June 25, 1999 Washington - Are we providing military service members with information they need? Do our articles and Web sites help them understand why they're doing what they're doing? Are we making a difference?
Those are just a few of the questions that prompted the American Forces Information Service to recently add a new feature at the end of each press service article published on DefenseLINK. Beginning June 14, a "What Do You Think" section began appearing at the bottom of each story (an example is at the end of this one).
"Too often in the military, information moves in only one direction," said Col. Jack Kehoe, director of information operations for AFIS. "We wanted feedback from our readers - service members and their families, civilian employees and even the general public. This new section makes it easy for them to let us know how we're doing and what we can do to improve."
Kehoe said the section lets readers quickly indicate with the click of a mouse how useful they found the information in an article. It also includes an e-mail function that offers readers the opportunity to provide a more detailed response.
The AFIS press service publishes approximately 600 articles a year covering DoD policies, programs and missions. It also produces World Wide Web publications called "Cyber Spots" that combine graphics, imagery and text to provide information on subjects that directly affect the lives and missions of service members such as the impact of Y2K, humanitarian operations and military child care.
"It's not enough for us to support the information goals of the senior DoD leadership, said Kehoe. We also have to meet the information needs of our readers. This new feedback section is an important step toward meeting those needs."
The section also asks readers to identify what audience sector they're from and whether they plan to re- publish an article. The data will be used to track specific audience interests and evaluate distribution trends.
"Our primary goal is a well-informed military," Kehoe said. "But we can't provide that service by operating in a vacuum. We need the input from all of our readers so we can tailor our products."

House Speaker John Boehner phoned President Obama on Thursday morning to request that the president dispatch his economic team to Capitol Hill to negotiate a full-year extension of the payroll-tax holiday, according to Boehner's office. The president said no.
"The speaker explained his concern that flaws in the Senate-passed bill will be unworkable for many small business job creators," an aide to the Ohio Republican said. "The president declined the speaker's offer."
According to the White House, Obama repeated on the phone call his belief that the "only viable option currently on the table" to prevent a tax increase for 160 million American workers is the Senate-passed, two-month extension. But Obama pledged to work with the House on a full-year extension once the Senate package is approved.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 2006 President Bush today kicked off a new national program designed to increase the number of Americans fluent in Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Hindi, Farsi, and other critical-need languages.
"We're going to teach our kids how to speak important languages. We'll welcome teachers here to help teach our kids how to speak languages," Bush said in introducing his National Security Language Initiative at the State Department.
Bush addressed university presidents here attending an international educator's conference that's co-sponsored by the State and Education departments. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Education Secretary Margaret Spellings, and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld attended the event.
The new program will benefit U.S. national security interests by training citizens and military members to understand and communicate with peoples who may have a wrong and limited view of America's ideals and culture, Bush said.
"When Americans learn to speak Arabic, those in the Arab region will say, 'Gosh, America's interested in us. They care enough to learn how we speak,'" he said.
The initiative, according to documents explaining the program, has three main goals, to:
The State Department, the departments of Education and Defense, and the National Intelligence Directorate under John D. Negroponte, will participate in the new program. As the nation's top intelligence official, Negroponte coordinates the U.S. government's 15 intelligence components.
David S. C. Chu, undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, told Pentagon reporters earlier today that DoD is proud to be a part of the president's national language initiative.
The Defense Language Transformation Roadmap that was approved by former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul D. Wolfowitz on Feb. 14, 2005, provides the template for DoD to increase the number of its military and civilian personnel who are fluent in needed languages, Chu said.
"We need a stronger capacity to understand and work with the cultures and peoples of other nations," he said. "The central part of that capacity is linguistic facility."
Chu said DoD is in great need of many more people who can speak and understand some two dozen non-traditional languages identified by DoD as critical to mission accomplishment. For example, he cited the need to obtain more personnel fluent in Pashtun, which is spoken in Afghanistan, and Arabic, which is spoken in Iraq and across the Middle East.
The department will allocate more than $750 million over the next five years to increase personnel with critical language abilities, Chu said. The department also will provide another $25 million to be used by the president's National Security Language Initiative, he said.
DoD's language capabilities will be expanded beyond what's been previously available at the Defense Language Institute at Monterey, Calif., Chu said. DoD will forge partnerships with universities and colleges with grants through affiliated ROTC programs to assist them in teaching languages thought critical to national security. A total of 1,322 U.S. colleges and universities offer primary or associated ROTC programs.
DoD also will provide the resources to expand teaching needed languages at the nation's military service academies, Chu said. For example, the Army is expected to increase the numbers and training of those servicemembers who speak a critical language as part of the 09L military occupational specialty, he said.
Another related initiative, Chu said, involves establishing a Civilian Language Reserve Corps that will seek to add 1,000 new linguists over the next few years to provide a surge capacity to meet crucial military language skill needs.
Chu pointed to the military and linguistic success achieved by Army Lt. Gen. Karl Eikenberry, the commanding general of Combined Forces Command Afghanistan. Eikenberry speaks "pretty fluent" Mandarin Chinese, Chu observed, and once served as the U.S. military attaché in Beijing. Eikenberry's understanding of other cultures gained through his language training has proven a valuable asset during the general's present duty in Afghanistan, Chu said.
Referencing findings taken from a recent DoD-sponsored national language conference, Chu said younger people appear to have an easier time learning new languages than adults. "If you start when you're five, you have a great advantage in facility, in accent, in ease with which (a new language) is acquired," Chu said.

Carolyn Hunter was graduating from a community college in 1977 when her uncle suggested she take a job on a McDonald's grill.
The offer didn't thrill her. But when she arrived, Hunter found she loved the place.
And she had a vision. Standing at the grill, 20 minutes from a Virginia hometown so small it lacked a traffic light, she imagined running the place. With time and hard work, she moved to management.
Eventually, she moved to New York. But early on, she found out a male colleague was being paid more than her for the same job. She asked her boss for equal pay.
"He told me he could not afford to pay me that," she said.
Hunter thought about leaving. But within a month, he gave her the raise.
Then she met a manager who would become her mentor. Lee Dunham was a tough McDonald's store owner, but in him she saw a fellow African-American who was at the helm. In her, he saw a promising young talent.
"Whenever you see someone you can identify with, they can inspire you," Hunter said.
Dunham's advice when she told him she wanted to own a store? "Save $50,000 and come back to me."
She saved $75,000 in five years, scrimping pennies and working long hours. She went back to Dunham. "After he picked his jaw up off the floor, he told me what to do."
With her then-husband and 3-year-old son, Hunter moved to South Carolina and purchased a store in Moncks Corner.
It took a decade to turn a profit. But Hunter always envisioned one next step to take.
Today, the Goose Creek resident is president and owner of C&A Unlimited Inc., which owns three franchises in Ladson, Moncks Corner and Summerville. She employs about 200 people.
And in 2011, the woman who started her career on a McDonald's grill pledged $1 million to Trident Technical College, the school's largest single donation.
A Trident scholarship is named in honor of her mother, the late Rachel Hunter Thompson, who raised five children and taught Hunter her work ethic. Today, Hunter sits in the role model's chair.
"Who is in leadership now? It is still overwhelmingly men," Hunter said. "But we can change things. We can make our expectations and desires known to those people who can do something about them." Like that young woman working the grill did.

InDesign FX is a collection of self-contained effects projects designed to be completed in ten minutes or less. Taught by expert Mike Rankin, the series explores every aspect of InDesign's graphic effects capabilities through real-world examples, all without relying on Photoshop or Illustrator. The intent is to reveal the quick, practical, and sometimes surprising application of InDesign effects to creative projects.
Hi, I'm Mike Rankin, and welcome to InDesign FX. In this week's effect we're going to see how to use Type on Path options to skew text to enhance a design. You can create a very strong design by choosing photos with distinct lines that direct a viewer's gaze. You can take this idea one step further by also skewing type so it follows those same lines. And a great way to do this is with InDesign's options for Type on Path. So here I have a photo of some very Tall Trees, and the photo is taken from a low level looking upward to really enhance the feeling of the trees' height.
You get these lines of perspective going up, and you can see that the type has been skewed to also follow those same lines of perspective. So let's see how to do this. I'll go to the next in my document where I have the same photo but no text. I'm going to press the W key on my keyboard just so I can see my margins, and I'll take a Frame Tool, click and drag out a giant frame all the way to the margins. Now I'll take my Type on Path tool and up at the center of that new frame at the top I'll click.
Now I'm going to the type the words Tall Trees, I'll select them, make them large, 140 points, and while I have it selected, I'll also change the fill color from Black to Paper, and I'm going to center them as well. Now what happened? Why did the text just go all the way to the bottom, and in fact like off the page here? Well, when I clicked with the Type on a Path tool, I clicked up at the top of the frame, and when you click you set the left and right margins.
Now remember, I also centered this text. So centered in between these two margins is all the way around on the other side of the frame. And that's okay. That's actually where I want this text, but I don't want it upside-down. So what I need to do is click on this little vertical bar and drag upward, and that flips the text so it's now inside the frame where I want it. The next thing I want to do is to change the Type on a Path option to create that skewing that I want. So with the frame selected, I'll go to Type > Type on a Path > Options and change the Effect from Rainbow to Gravity and click OK.
And now you can see I get that sort of scrunching at the top these lines of perspective converging up here somewhere. Next, I'm going to move this whole frame up because it's sitting a little bit too low, and now because of where I positioned it I can't really see the text over here, so I want to apply a little Drop Shadow. Open my Effects Panel, click on Drop Shadow, make it a little bit larger, say 10 pixels, there we go, now I can actually read the text. Now to control the angle of the skewing of this type, I have to actually change the size and shape of the frame that it's on.
So I'm going to zoom out by pressing Command+Minus or Ctrl+Minus so I can the see the whole frame. In my Control Panel I have the Reference Point set to the bottom center, and I'm going to increase the Height. I'm going to go up to 900 pixels. And you can see that slithered over to the left a little bit, and that's because the margin is also moved. So by clicking and dragging on the margin, I can move the text back where I want it and also affect the angle of the skew. So I can match the angle of these trees here. I am going to just move the whole frame over, that's not too bad, but I'll move this margin a little bit more and see if I can match that angle a little bit better.
That's pretty good. I'll press the W key and zoom in, and we can see we have the lines of perspective that we want. In this video we saw how we can skew text to integrate it into a design that features very distinct lines of perspective. We used the Type on Path option called gravity to create the skew and tweaked it by adjusting the shape of the frame that the text was sitting on and move the endpoints of the Type on Path. By doing these things, you can skew text to match just about any angle you want. I'm Mike Rankin, and I'll be back in 2 weeks. Thanks for watching.

Blue Color-Rite 5MM on White Wire
These deep blue Color-Rite 5MM wide angle lights on white wire are the answer to a variety of lighting arrangement themes. Stunning holiday decor can be created using blue lights on white or green trees, trimming banisters and mantels, outlining artwork and adorning your trees by wrapping them with these low profile wide angle LEDs. You really can't compare the blue light produce by a high-quality LED like these to incandescent blue. The light is so brilliant and true it simply does not compare. And with our Color-Rite interchangeable bulb system you can use this set for Christmas and many other occasions such as 4th of July by mixing in some red or pure white lights.
The Color-Rite strands are full wave rectified by a capacitor in the plug which allows the different colored LEDs to be interchanged in line. These strands are very versatile and can be used for a wide variety of creative projects. Since the strands use a capacitor to regulate the power, they will not perform well in animated displays using a dimming sequence.

Ginger Syrup - What to do with it?
Ok, peeled over a pound of ginger yesterday and made candied ginger for some holiday gifts, but...now I have all this syrup left over.
I used Alton Brown's recipe where you simmer the ginger in 5 cups of water, drain and reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid. You add sugar and the liquid back into the pot, then boil it down till the liquid almost evaporates (20 minutes), but it didn't. It became very thick, but after almost 40 minutes I decided to drain the ginger and save the syrup and let the ginger dry.
Now, I have about 2 cups of ginger syrup, which BTW is super delicious!!!
So, I'm needing some ideas on how to use it. In mixed drinks? In baked goods...wondering how long it will keep as well.
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

What to see in The Nile Valley
The Nile Valley Attractions
The hotbed of ancient Egyptian burial sites, the attractions of the Nile Valley are legendary and can't fail to impress. The amount of epic things to see and do in Luxor and Aswan can be quite overwhelming. Be sure to stock up on suncream and water because the majority of the attractions in the Nile Valley are exposed to the sun and sightseeing can be hot and thirsty business.
The world-famous Temple of Karnak in Luxor, built over a period of 1,300 years, is still one of the architectural wonders of the world and one of the biggest religious buildings ever erected. It is one of the most popular attractions in Egypt and will astound visitors. It is not, however, the only temple complex of note in the area. The Temple of Medinat Habu, mortuary temple of Ramses III, is second in size only to Karnak and features incredibly well-preserved wall carvings. The vivid colours painted onto ceilings, columns and walls are still clearly visible which makes the place feel alive and gives an amazingly authentic understanding of how it must have looked and felt 4,000 years ago. Abu Simbel, which includes the mortuary temple of Ramses II, is also a must-see. Twice annually, in February and October, the rising sun illuminates the inner sanctum of the temple, just as Ramses II decreed it should. Abu Simbel is humbling in its age and enduring magnificence.
The West Bank, an area strewn with ancient tombs and temples carved into the limestone hills of the desert, can occupy visitors for days. Highlights include the Colossi of Memnon, and the tombs of Tutankhamun and Ramses II in the Valley of the Kings. Don't miss the Valley of the Artisans (Deir el-Medina) which is just south of the Valley of the Queens and was once inhabited by the craftsmen and artists who worked on the nearby royal tombs. It is often called the Workmen's Village and you can still stroll around the remains of the buildings where these talented people lived and worked, as well as explore a number of remarkably preserved tombs.
There are two great museums in the Nile Valley: Aswan's Nubia Museum is the ideal place to get a grasp of the rich Nubian culture and history, as well as some context for the ancient treasures of the area in general; and the Luxor Museum boasts an impressive collection of artefacts from the valley.
