Thought this quite tough for Shorn Cliff: found placing the gear beneath the overlap strenuous. Think I missed a helpful foothold but onsight the crux is fairly committing and I had to keep moving.

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Well now you won't have to fire up the grill if you have a hankering for some bar-be-cue.
Fast food chain Burger King is rolling out a new line of BBQ pork, beef and chicken sandwiches.
You'll even be able to some pork on your sundae. That's right - a soft serve vanilla, fudge, caramel sundae topped with bacon.
The chain hopes these menu additions will help it regain its shrinking market share before it goes public.

Social media will become the major communication platform for news updates and political engagement during the Bangkok shutdown protest, because both sides probably feel the mainstream media may be unfair in its coverage, according to a consulting firm.
But users should be very careful what they post, because it could have unintended consequences, Teera Kanokkanjanarat, senior analyst at Frost & Sullivan, warned.
Mr Teera said he expected the social media to become the main channel of communication, particularly if the protest is prolonged and national television broadcasters and major newspapers become targets of occupation by the protesters.
"This year social media websites and applications, such as Facebook and Line, have evolved from being either just a chat app or sharing tool to become major communication megaplatforms. These platforms offer services beyond simple chat conversation to free voice and video calls and sharing media on Timeline," he said.
Thailand has approximately 18.5 million users of Facebook, of a total 25 million total internet users in the country. Line had closed the gap with 18 million users at the end of 2013.
Frost & Sullivan said it found that some mobile operators experienced more than 300% increase in data usage during the New Year, but he expected usage will continue to grow as users engage more in conversation, watching internet TV and constantly share news updates about the protest.
Mr Teera advised users to send data via social media with caution, and check the validity and authenticity of messages before sharing them. Once people share a story on a social network, they also share part of the responsibility for its consequences, Mr Teera said.

(Feb 08, 2013) In response to an evaluation report published on January 8, 2013, by the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), the Cabinet of the The Netherlands Does More Against Foreign Bribery, Government of the Netherlands (Jan. 8, 2013); The Netherlands Is Failing to Tackle Bribery Claims: OECD, DUTCHNEWS.NL (Jan. 8, 2013); Phase 3 Report on Implementing the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention in the Netherlands (adopted Dec. 14, 2012), OECD website.)
The report was prepared by the OECD's Working Group on Bribery (WGB), whose task is to monitor the performance of signatories to the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions. This Anti-Bribery Convention entered into force in 1999, with the aim of curbing illicit payments made by companies to government officials in furtherance of winning or holding on to contracts. Since the Convention's entry into force, however, "few signatories have successfully convicted more than a few individuals or companies for bribery," and "as of the end of 2011, only 14 of the 38 signatories had ever imposed a penalty for bribery." (Paul Hannon, OECD Slams Austria, Netherlands and Spain on Bribery, NASDAQ (Jan. 8, 2013).) The Netherlands has been a state party to the Convention since 2001. (Bribery in International Business: OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions (last visited Feb. 5, 2013) [has link to text of the Convention and related instruments].)
OECD Assessment
The WGB's main criticism of the Netherlands was that the Dutch authorities had not made enough of an effort to prosecute foreign bribery cases. (The Netherlands Does More Against Foreign Bribery, supra.) According to the report, the Dutch have yet to launch an investigation into 14 of 22 foreign bribery allegations, "and this calls into question 'the Netherlands' ability and pro-activity in investigating and prosecuting this crime.'" (The Netherlands Is Failing to Tackle Bribery Claims: OECD, supra.)
The OECD evaluation calls for Dutch law enforcement authorities to be given adequate personnel to investigate claims, noting that only two public prosecutors have been assigned to handle international corruption cases, and for fines for bribery to be increased. (
On the other hand, the OECD report commended the Netherlands on its efficient approach towards criminal proceedings and on the steps the country has taken to raise awareness among governments and the business community on the need to address foreign bribery. The report also commented favorably on the measures the Cabinet had adopted to improve the bribery reporting procedures followed by Dutch diplomats. (The Netherlands Does More Against Foreign Bribery, supra.)
The WGB also plans to examine the Netherlands' investigation and prosecution of "mailbox companies," which, according to the OECD, have been involved in a number of the foreign bribery allegations. Such companies, while incorporated in the Netherlands, pursue their activities entirely from outside the country. (The Netherlands Is Failing to Tackle Bribery Claims: OECD, supra.)
The Dutch Response
According to Minister Opstelten, the Netherlands has already begun to put some of the recommendations in motion. He reported near the end of 2012 that the investigative capacity of the specialized financial-economic police would be expanded by 585 to 1,156 fulltime personnel; that supervision at the Tax and Customs Administration would be strengthened; and that the Fiscal Intelligence and Investigation Service (FIOD) forces would be reinforced by 150 investigative officers, 50 to investigate tax structures and other matters and 100 to combat complex money-laundering structures. (The Netherlands Does More Against Foreign Bribery, supra.) Aside from making a commitment to be more actively engaged in foreign bribery cases, the Public Prosecution Service (OM) recently tightened its guidelines on dealing with foreign corruption in response to the OECD evaluation report. The OM will report in a year on the progress it has made in cases involving foreign bribery that it is currently handling. (
The Cabinet's proposal on combating financial and economic crime has been formulated and is expected to be sent to the Dutch House of Representatives soon. The proposal may make it possible to link the amount of a punitive fine imposed on companies to their sales. The draft legislation also provides for the offense of international bribery to be punishable with a term of imprisonment of six years, instead of the currently applicable four-year term. (Wetsvoorstel versterking bestrijding financieel-economische criminaliteit [Bill Strengthening the Fight Against Financial-Economic Crime], Government of the Netherlands website (Feb. 5, 2013).)
Evaluation of Some Other Countries' Anti-Bribery Efforts
At the same time that the OECD issued the report on the Netherlands, it published evaluations of the anti-bribery efforts of Austria and Spain. The OECD criticized Austria's anti-bribery law enforcement as being "far too weak" and Spain's enforcement as "extremely low." (Hannon, supra.) According to WGB data for the period 1999 to December 2011, the United Stateshas been the most active Convention signatory in applying criminal sanctions against bribery, having imposed penalties on 58 individuals and 28 companies; the next most active enforcers were Hungary and South Korea, which imposed penalties on 28 individuals and 16 individuals, respectively. (Working Group on Bribery: 2011 Data on Enforcement of the Anti-Bribery Convention (June 2012), OECD website [scroll down to view table]; see also OECD WORKING GROUP ON BRIBERY, 2011 ANNUAL REPORT (2012), OECD website.)

Myspace Lays Off Half Its Workforce
January 12, 2011 6:44 AM
Struggling social networking website Myspace.com laid off nearly half of its workforce yesterday amid slumping membership.
CEO Mike Jones says the cuts were part of an effort to improve profitability and growth. Jones adds that the move had nothing to do with the performance of the site. Myspace experienced a third-quarter revenue drop of 25-percent from the same period last year, and the site has lost nearly 30-million members since November 2009.

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Anti-Aging Concealing Cream Review & Swatches
Many of you requested I review It Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Anti-Aging Concealing Cream but technically I don't have any redness so it seemed pointless to review the product.
BUT I admit it intrigued me. It comes with a tiny kabuki brush for application and I gotta admit instantly though of my favorite Bourjois Mineral Foundation after seeing it. Any foundation you can buff on kinda gets me excited. Granted you can do this yourself with any bb cream or foundation but when I actually see the two products, brush and foundation, sold together, it gets me excited about the coverage options!
Who the heck knows where that mentality comes from but I never claimed I was sane on this blog.
So knowing It Cosmetics track record with excellent coverage I had a funny feel Bye Bye Redness would be awesome. It's a red neutralizing and correcting cream that helps to conceal redness from rosacea or even scarring, blemishes, irritated skin, sun damage, age scars, etc…they really should even say tattoos because it has THAT much pigment.
Take a look, you can't live without this product in your life.
So the bad news is..it comes in a single shade of medium creamy beige. The color fits me perfect and I would liken it to the shade of medium in their concealer for your reference. They recommend for use under your makeup or alone but personally I use it as MY foundation.
I would liken the coverage to their concealer and also to products like Kevin Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer however, It Cosmetics actually perfected the formula as this is creamier than SSE.
It ships to you with a small slanted kabuki for application, a pot of the makeup, and a little stand to hold both the brush and pot of makeup. Cute right?
Coverage is amazing. This will conceal minor to major problems you have. If you have a birthmark on your face it will do an excellent job of concealing that as well as hiding minor issues like darkness, acne scarring, etc…fact of the matter is the pigmentation is incredible and this brings full coverage to the table. The buffing brush is what really helps to give the product a super airbrushed perfect appearance. A TINY amount, I can't stress tiny enough, applied to the brush, swirled, and buffed into skin will perfect and create completely flawless coverage with a semi-matte powdery finish. It doesn't cling to dry areas, it doesn't accentuate larger pores or uneven skin texture. It does however, have a smooth, stress-free finish on even the unevenest of skin…I have fairly smooth skin and it looks incredible. My friend used it, he has slightly raised areas due to shaving, etc…and it looked just as amazing on him as it did on me. The coverage is flawless.
You have to know when to stop though….as I mentioned a little goes a long way so you don't want to continue to build and build and build. A little bit, buffed gently into skin is plenty to cover your entire face. Too much and it'll look bad! And be sure to prep well with moisturizer and a good primer prior to application. Wear time is incredible! I got a good 12 hours out of this without any fading at all and I'm positive it would have continued being fresh and flawless for hours after that if I hadn't removed!
I think it's a powerful tool to achieve beautiful skin especially for those who really suffer from major problems like redness and other issues that may make you uncomfortable in your own skin. This is weightless, full coverage at its very best with a formula that applies like a second skin. Although the shade is marketed as a universal color it might be a little too light for tanned or darker complexions but you never know, you might want to check it out anyway, who knows, could work!
I highly recommend trying it. You won't regret it.
Muse Approved.

It was too dark for me. Loved the texture and the coverage. If she would do a lighter color (think UD Naked .5 or 1.0), it would be my HG!
3/28/13 19:08 stef b:
yay! i have been waiting for forever to see a review on this
3/28/13 19:31 Celine:
I do suffer from redness, so this product would be perfect for me! I am ivory when it coems to foundation, so would this work for me?
3/28/13 21:11 catazure:
I love IT Cosmetics so thank you for this review! I know what I need to order next
3/28/13 21:38 Laura H.:
This looks like a dream product for me, for I have the reddest face in all the land. If only we could get It Cosmetics in Canada !
3/29/13 12:08 Barb:
I bought "It" cosmetics from tsc.ca . Doesn't look like they carry this product at the moment but I'd check often… maybe they'll add it!
3/28/13 23:51 blueraccoon:
This looks so up my alley; I have some redness in my cheeks and some uneven pigmentation on one cheek. But I'm afraid the one shade won't fit me; their lightest shade of concealer is barely too dark on me. I don't know whether to try it and hope for the best or just not bother.
3/29/13 3:36 Shadia:
Twelve-hour wear and amazing full coverage? You slay me, Muse!
3/29/13 4:10 Julissa:
I got really excited about this and than I found out the price, I was like, "ehhhh" .. I don't know. It's kind of pricey. Maybe I should save up. I really need a good foundation.
6/7/13 19:33 Rebecca:
I thought it was pricey too but waited for the It cosmetics website to get it back in stock. Because it was my first purchase I got 20% off and free shipping cuz I was over $25 so I paid $26.00 fo everything and also received a free mascara sample that was huge in size for a sample. Hope this helps
3/29/13 7:34 Joan:
This was waistlisted on QVC and I didn't want to wait so I ordered it from the It Cosmetics website. When I got it, I couldn't believe how small the jar was for the price. Didn't like the shade or how it went on and looked. Sent it back immediately. I'm finding that I'm not liking too many of the It Cosmetics products, except for the loose powder blush and the lipsticks. The powder foundation is terrible. No matter what I used to apply it….their brush, another brush or a sponge, it just didn't pick up the product. I thought it was the worst powder foundation I ever tried to use.
3/29/13 18:46 Angel:
Same thing happened to me Joan. That powder foundation was a real quandary…some reviews on the Q had no problem with it. Then there were a bunch like you and me. It's almost like they shipped a defective batch or something. I tried every foundation brush I owned trying to pick up the product. Sponges, puffs, grrrr. Makeup should not be that frustrating. In the end a dried crust appeared on top. So I used the old packing tape trick to remove the top layer thinking that would help. Nope, just started the whole vicious circle all over again. I would love to try this stuff as I have a lot of redness, but I'll have to check out the ingredients. If it's chock full of cones, I'll have to pass.
3/29/13 7:40 Suzanne W.:
This stuff makes me insane, in the best possible way!! I tried it for the first time only a few days ago and have no idea how Ive done without it until now! I have EXTREME rosacea! And this stuff covers that red rough skin like a dream. My makeup routine time has been cut down by atleast 5 minutes! Im so in love! Thanks for the review! You are spot on with all the deets! Especially the color. I would agree. I compared it to my bye bye under eye in medium and it was exactly the same, color wise. But even as I am truly more of a fair gal it works just fine for me.
3/29/13 17:43 Suselew:
I don't think you'll see another color, unless Maureen recognizes that this is more than just a redness treatment. In the last presentation on QVC, she kept stressing that this isn't a foundation, it's a treatment so I know that is her reaction to the many, many requests on QVC for lighter or darker shades of this "treatment." Ironically, then she goes on to say you can use this alone. I love the product, but it's a tad too dark for me so I have had to improvise. I have a lot of redness on my face, but I cannot simply apply it on part of my face. I have changed the brush I am using to apply thinner coverage and then top it with a very light layering of my foundation in the correct color. Maureen would truly have a winner product if she just makes this product in at least 3 colors, with the current product being medium. JMHO
3/31/13 0:01 Cat:
Muse, whats your skin type? Lemming this like whoa, but I am a grease ball!
4/16/13 17:36 Cat:
Hmm, I may have to pass since I'm a greaseball
3/31/13 22:48 Veronica:
I'd love to try this, but I'd worry about it being too warm for me based on the above comment by Robin. Most concealers are a shade too dark but can work with blending – the yellow tones are what wind up being problematic. A cross between NARS Chantilly and Vanilla is more what I need.
4/1/13 0:16 Trillium:
This sounded so exciting and perfect until…only one shade. I'm far too fair for this. I wonder why they only make it in one?
4/5/13 2:18 Sophie:
I'm one of the unlucky ones who are uncomfortable in their own skin.
This sounds like magic! i must try this.
5/20/13 21:21 xmaseveeve:
Hi there! Thanks for the review. Do you use this as your foundation, on its own, or do you still also use their undereye concealer, which I know you love?
I suppose I mean, does this cover undereye circles? Also, do you set it with the finishing powder, to prevent it settling into lines, especialy around the eye?
I'm thinking of getting this concealer, and Benefit Powderflage, which is discontinued but I've found a source, because undereye concealer always melts and creases on me.
I was going to get Erase paste for an undereye concealer but you've now talked me into this one instead. I like a lot of pigmentation and coverage.
You really are a pubic service, and I never buy makeup without checking with you first. Thank you for your passion!
6/7/13 19:24 Rebecca:
I just got this today after waiting for it to be back in stock and I'm in love. The bye bye redness covers everything. I covered half my face first and what a difference. I don't even need to wear makeup it looks so amazing. It takes a very little bit. Goes on smooth and doesn't settle into lines and wrinkles. It dries nicely and isn't cakey at all. Makes my skin look flawless. Ill never be without it.
9/15/13 4:43 Marisa:
Hello Muse! :o)
Coverage wise (for breakouts and lots of acne hyperpigmentation)would you recommend this or the CC Cream? My skin is also dry on the cheek area, so I need something that also won't cling to the dry patches & make them more noticeable. Thanks.
9/18/13 10:59 Nealey Dozier:
This product has completely changed my life, something I have never said before about any makeup! I suffer from couperose (broken capillaries) but otherwise have clear, smooth skin that is sometimes on the dry side. Because of the constant redness, even the fanciest of foundations don't work for me. Unfortunately I spent a fortune figuring that out.
My wedding is coming up, so I have been slightly obsessed with building the *perfect* makeup arsenal for all the photographed festivities. After seeing your review of Bye Bye Redness along with all the other positive reviews on QVC I decided it was worth a shot. I'm so glad I did!!
Seriously this is my new holy grail, *can't live without* product. I applied just a tad on my cheeks and nose (the only places that I need full coverage) and buffed it in with my beauty blender, and never has my skin looked so flawless! I'm pretty pale these days and the color still looked great. I lightly dusted my whole face with La Mer powder (a worthy splurge) to finish, along with some Smashbox longwear bronzer and blush. Done and done.
Now I am just terrified about the possibility of this one day getting discontinued! I am thinking I may need to stockpile…
9/24/13 6:47 kate:
I like your reviews on these 2 products this and the one today much better than the on air presentation.
Still need actually see the product to make a decision, are they at Ulta yet
11/14/13 19:05 Tiffany:
I'm a 4.0 in the UD naked foundation, would this be too light? wish they would made more shades because this seems like the perfect product for me and I don't have any it cosmetic retailers near me to swatch!
12/13/13 13:19 Bailey:
Hello! I've been looking to try this product, but do you know if it's silicone or water based? Thank you!
1/26/14 17:40 Lisa:
Hello, Really enjoy these reviews, their great!
I am fair but thought I should try the bye bye redness. If
purchased from itcosmetics.com does it come with the brush for
application? Thanks!

Testing HTML5 Feature Availability In Browsers
The ongoing HTML5 specification offers many features to promote a "rich" web user experience. If you've worked wth HTML5, you know that some features are available in some browsers and not available in others. Here's a handy tool to tell you the HTML5 features that are available in your favorite browser. All you need to do is fire up a browser and visit: http://html5test.com . With this, you'll see a nice breakdown of the features that are available in the current browser version. It will also tell you, the strengh of support for each feature. For example, for the current version of Firefox I'm using (3.6.3), it says it has a total score of 101 out of 160. Here's a breakdown for each of the current browsers I'm using:
|Firefox 3.6.3
|Safari 4.0.3
|Opera 10.10
|Chrome 5.0.375.55 beta
Of course if you really like an HTML5 feaure that is not available in your favorite browser, you can always check the "development" versions for the browser - as HTML5 support is still a work in progress.

Latest Firefox nightly: 106
by opinali - 2010-05-25 06:41
It's not fair to compare a beta release of Chrome, to the latest production (i.e. old and creaky) releases of all other browsers. Although I think even the stable Chrome would easily win this test.
Oh, and the latest IE8 (fully patched, Win7) scores a miserable 19 points. The Platform Preview 2 of IE9 scores... the same 19 points, wtf?

Yep. This blog was not intended to imply any one browser is better suited for HTML than others. What browser one uses is a personal choice, and eventually as HTML5 comes along, more browsers will come up to speed.
Personally, I use Firefox

Personally, I use Firefox most of the time. But since I've been dabbling with Websockets a bit, (for whatever reason) I found easier access to it with Chrome.

Bridge To College
Bridge to College, an Urban Assembly initiative and current collaboration with CUNY AHC, was launched in 2011 to address the "summer melt" that occurs between the end of high school and the beginning of college. Heading into the summer, there are myriad challenges that can interfere with matriculation, especially for low-income and first-generation college-goers: failure to complete financial aid, confusing communications from colleges about registration and course selection, difficult logistics around travel to school, family resistance, etc. At this critical moment, young people find themselves unable to access the support of their high schools which are no longer in session, not yet connected to colleges, and with few places to turn for help.
With a focus on the power of youth leadership in college access work, the Bridge to College model offers a student-centered approach to effective guidance. The program collaboratively trains students who have completed 1-2 years of college, called College Coaches, to deliver on-site transition workshops to high school seniors and support them with their college-going plans after graduation. The Coaches come from the same high schools and socio-economic backgrounds as the students in their caseloads. They are supervised by professional staff, and regularly meet as a group to troubleshoot and develop best practices.

Automatic Bullet Signature Identification System Based on Topography Measurements and Edge Detection Analysis
Wei Chu, John Song and Theodore Vorburger
Precision Engineering Division, MEL, NIST Gaithersburg, MD 20899.
Firearms often leave unique, reproducible markings on the fired bullets and cartridge cases. The analysis and comparison of these features play an important role in forensic analysis for crime investigation. Bullet signatures are striation marks; a procedure for automated bullet signature identification is described based on topography measurements obtained with a confocal microscope and edge detection analysis of the image. After the image acquisition and preprocessing, an edge detection technique is used to extract the feature edges. Then a filtering process is performed to remove all edge elements irrelevant to the striation marks. The finally obtained binary image distinctly reflects the amount and distribution of striation marks on the imaged bullet land. Using this binary image as a mask image, the bad areas that not contain striation signature are excluded for generating the 2D correlation profile. Based on the values of the cross-correlation maximum, a list of top ranking matches against a ballistics signature database of bullets fired from the same model gun is developed. The correlation results show a significant improvement using the sequence of methods described here compared with a currently used commercial system.

Helzberg Diamonds Radiant Star®
At Helzberg Diamonds, we set out to create a diamond that would play with light and dazzle the eye unlike any other gem in the world. A diamond whose unparalleled sparkle and fire would receive consistently high ratings by the world´s diamond authorities. A diamond you would have to see to believe. The result is the spectacular Helzberg Diamonds Radiant Star®, available exclusively at Helzberg Diamonds. By taking an entirely new approach to the cut and arrangement of a diamond´s facets, our artisans have designed a diamond that sparkles with more intensity and fire than any other diamond.
What makes a diamond a Helzberg Diamonds Radiant Star®?
At Helzberg Diamonds, we took a bold new approach to diamond cutting and created a diamond with 145 facets. The extra facets mean the diamond has more potential for sparkle, but that´s not enough. The facets must be carefully arranged in order to capture and play with the light as much as possible, resulting in an exceptionally brilliant and scintillating diamond. The most remarkable feature of the Radiant Star®? Its price. Through careful selection and skillful cutting, we are committed to offering this beautiful diamond at an affordable price. When you look at a Helzberg Diamonds Radiant Star® next to a similarly priced round diamond, you´ll immediately notice that you´re getting a lot more sparkle and fire for your dollar.
How is a Helzberg Diamonds Radiant Star® documented?
Every Helzberg Diamonds Radiant Star® diamond comes with two types of third-party documentation: the IGI Certificate of Authenticity and a GemEx Light Performance Certificate. An IGI certificate of authenticity provides an accurate statement of your diamond´s weight, color and clarity, based on an internationally recognized system. The Light Performance Analysis measures and rates your diamond´s white light (brilliance), color light (fire) and scintillation (sparkle). In order for a diamond to earn the name Radiant Star®, it must have ratings in the "very high" end of the scale on two of the three GemEx measurements, with none of the measurements lower than "high." Very few special cut diamonds on the market ever achieve such consistently high ratings. Each Helzberg Diamonds Radiant Star® diamond has a unique control number laser-inscribed on the girdle (the outer edge of the stone). Your IGI Certificate of Authenticity and your GemEx Light Performance Analysis will each show your diamond´s Radiant Star® control number, as well as their own unique numbers. Your Helzberg Diamonds Radiant Star® control number means you will always be able to identify and track your diamond.

The Most Affordable Press Release Writing Services
We don't charge for a consultation with our account managers - nor do we limit you to a 10-minute or 30-minute phone consultation. How can anyone possibly be expected to write a press release about your business by speaking with you for 10 minutes - unless, of course, it's acceptable to you that the writer you hire take a cookie-cutter approach to your content?
That's not a practice we've ever engaged in. All of our press release writing is always original content based on collaboration with you. In most cases, we review your Web site, your flyers, marketing materials - and perform a whole range of other activities, when writing press releases.
We take development even further: we search for a way to make your press release time sensitive - to add urgency or a reason for the media to take notice of your press release now, rather than years from now.
Are you familiar with what your competitors are doing? We'll search for their news releases, to see if there are ideas that can be sparked - where are their weaknesses?
How about industry trends and statistics? Nothing establishes credibility faster than details about your industry that a journalist can rely on. Including hard and fast numbers in your press releases is often the key to perfect positioning - and pickup.
If you've already written press release content you believe presents your message but you're looking for a professional to review the content and tighten the focus - to be sure you're on-target - our press release writing services are the most affordable available. You might opt for expert press release editing services - these fees can't even be touched. Your press release content is formatted in the Associated Press style - the preferred editorial style of newsrooms around the world.
Search Engine | SEO Press Release
With our talented team of expert press release writers - with decades of experience writing and experience as journalists - we apply every ounce of creative ability we can to writing a powerful compelling press release that says what you want it to say.
You gain access to the single most skilled press release writing team in the market. We'll apply our expertise in contemporary targeting knowledge - such as writing press releases for search engines - to ensure greater reach. Optimizing press releases for maximum search engine potential is not an exact science, but our SEO writers have proven time and again they know what to do to make your press release achieve rank for specified targeted keywords or multi-keyword phrases.
Press Release Writing Service - Experienced
Our press release writing services have served clients for more than three decades and online since 1996. Thousands of small businesses, authors, nonprofits and every types of organization imaginable has trusted us to write quality press releases at the most affordable pricing - with all the enhanced professional writing style they need.
We make it possible to take your PR in-house and avoid the hefty fees PR agencies charge. Our press release writing expertise is unparalleled and, because we are a true news wire distribution service - not a partner with a true news wire, you're assured of direct delivery to the most relevant media outlets and contemporary news sources you need.
Press Release Samples Delivery Schedule
Order professional press release writing, and an initial draft will generally be available within two days; a more technical release may add a little time to this. Turnaround is most often impacted by the response time to our initial questions, but we'll never tell you it will take longer because we're "busy." You'll always be provided professional courtesy.
A comprehensive edit performed by a member of our professional press release writing team can generally be performed same-day. Clearly, the more advance notice we have, we reduce the likelihood of human error. We'll provide concrete changes to your press release - this service is guaranteed.
Targeted True Press Release News Wire Distribution Service
Since we know you need more than just a writing service, you'll find our fees for distributing press releases the most affordable in the true news wire market - of which there are only a handful.
We do not piggy-back other true news wires or partner with them - we have developed a completely proprietary distribution system founded on technology.
We're younger than the half-century old behemoths - we're nimble and flexible. The fees you pay are the closest to margin in the market - no overhead, no charge for the brand, with comparable and better delivery and service.
We're not a press release e-mail blasting service (is that truly targeted distribution?); we're not a Web posting service (how many people really will come across it by accident?).
Press Release Writing Process
Our press release writing process is always flexible. We work with you on your press release in the way it makes sense. Some people simply don't like to write - why force them to e-mail us their changes? While we may suggest that step to help ensure accuracy, we're certainly willing and happy to speak with you on the phone about your press release. Much can be accomplished with a short call that would take a half-hour to write.
With our experience, we hit the mark with the first draft better than 99% of the time - we know that the better up front work we do ensures a more targeted, acceptable release the first time around. Generally, the changes to our first draft are minimal.
Things can and will go wrong on the rarest of occasions, despite anyone's best efforts. We'll rework the content of the release. Your feedback is of value to us - we're happy to know what you're thinking, so that we can address it and make the changes you want to see.
Get started now to see our experts take action for you.

Written Answers - Beef Slaughter Premium.
Tuesday, 21 February 1995
Dáil Éireann Debate
179. Mr. Bradford asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry his views on whether the beef slaughter premium should be paid in respect of animals slaughtered in private registered abattoirs for domestic home consumption; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3932/95]
Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry (Mr. Yates): Animals slaughtered in privately owned local abattoirs are not eligible for the deseasonalisation slaughter premium because my Department does not operate veterinary controls at such plants.
I am, however, reviewing the arrangements to see whether in the future it may be possible to apply the scheme to the small number of steers slaughtered in such abattoirs.

The joys of walking, in theory and practice
Sep 29, 2008, Vol. 14, No. 03 • By LAWRENCE KLEPP
The Lost Art of Walking
Human beings have been going for walks for about four million years, ever since the first hominid got down out of a tree on an African savannah and caused a sensation by staggering around on two legs. They walked through millions of years of prehistory as nomads, reaching the ends of the earth and getting there most often the usual way. Tierra del Fuego? No, that's okay, it's only 11,000 miles; we can walk there from here.
And for the first 5,000 years of history walking, for peasants, peddlers, pilgrims, vagabonds, wandering scholars, streetwalkers, etc., was a doleful necessity that was often dangerous as well, since country and city walkers alike were fair game for brigands. But in the 18th century walking suddenly turned into a virtue, even a philosophy of life.
First Rousseau, in the last book he wrote, Reveries of a Solitary Walker, then the Romantic movement that followed, often literally, in his Alp-oriented footsteps, found equal measures of redemption in reverie and solitude and walking. Just as the world was consulting its watch and deciding it had better hurry, multiplying urgent objectives and inventing faster ways of getting to them, walking became a way of escaping this new tyranny of ironclad efficiency. It was a meandering end in itself. And as such it was a form of protest and rebellion.
The Romantic walker was free to follow whims, stray from the path, indulge curiosity, find the longest distance between two points, get lost in the woods or the city or the reverie. Random walking seemed to promise the recovery of spontaneous or contemplative experience from the newly regimented time and space of the industrial era.
There was, of course, a large slice of sentimental illusion in this. For Rousseau and Wordsworth and Thoreau and their descendents among nature mystics, New Agers, and Gaia-worshipping deep ecologists, walking is good because nature is good-in fact, sacred-and it faithfully rewards devout simplicity. They never noticed that an elaborately developed and organized society was needed to produce the kind of sensitive, self-conscious individual who would want to go out into the woods (lately made safer by the proximity of civilization) to escape society and search for authenticity and his true self.
For the flâneurs and night walkers of Paris like Baudelaire and the Symbolists and the Surrealists, on the other hand, walking became a way of discovering the labyrinthine modern city and registering the bizarre juxtapositions and opportunities for mystery and delirium that it contained. Their walking was random, too, but obsessive and deviant, not serene and pure.
Meanwhile, modern philosophy was being thought up during walks by Rousseau, by Kant, so punctual in his daily Königsberg walk that people set their watches by him, by Nietzsche, who paced the Alps and the Italian Riviera and said he distrusted any conclusions reached by sedentary writers.
So walking, in this self-conscious, rarefied sense, is a modern invention. And it's left a richly ambiguous literary and cultural legacy that has been explored in detail in several books, the outstanding one being Rebecca Solnit's appropriately meandering study Wanderlust: A History of Walking (2000).
Geoff Nicholson's The Lost Art of Walking can be read as a kind of down-to-earth, affable, and reluctant Sancho Panza companion to Solnit's questing, pensive, sad-countenanced book (which he evidently doesn't like). Nicholson, an Englishman who lives most of the time in Los Angeles and defiantly walks in a city built to discourage the heresy, promises a "History, Science, Philosophy, and Literature of Pedestrianism." But what he mostly offers is the tabloid journalism of pedestrianism.
He does pause to consider some cultural and psychological echoes of walking, examining the words for "walk" in a number of languages, speculating about walking as a cure for depression (including his own) and circumambulating the equation between walking and writing. And he manages to get some thoughtful mileage out of the hard fall he took, breaking his arm, while walking in the Hollywood Hills.

Aside from affordable rates, Elliott makes the reasonable suggestion that travelers can save on baggage fees by opting for a nakation.

text: Though it's a throwback to simpler times when movie stars queued up to give Jerry a thump on the kisser, The Monuments Men has a more high-falutin' agenda than most wartime capers. While George Clooney and pals set out to save liberated Europe's cultural prizes from Hitler and his band of goose-stepping morons, earlier Hun-bashing capers were breezier affairs, and here are a dirty dozen examples to prove it. Whether dressed up as a thriller, actioner or simply disguised as a narrow-eyed Nazi like Clint in Where Eagles Dare, here are some of the men-on-a-mission war flicks you should seek out.

UFC Ring Girl Arianny Celeste Strips For Zoo Magazine (Photos/Video)
by Robert Littal | Posted on Friday, January 20th, 2012
Our friends at sharapovasthigh.com (love that domain name) provides us with the video for the lovely Arianny Celeste.
She is definitely high on the TigerStyle scale.
Check out some of the behind the scenes video and photos from her shoot with Zoo Magazine.
I don't think any guy wouldn't want to get in the Octagon with her and pray for a rear naked choked hold to be applied to them. With an emphasis on NAKED.
