Photo Book & Creative Printing Retailer : What Have You Printed on Lately? Surviving in the Shifting Creative Retailing Market SpaceApril 2012 By Gaby Mullinax
Pinterest-ing Discoveries
How can Pinterest help retailers?
According to Compete.com, Pinterest had a six-month growth rate of nearly 900% as of January 2012, making it the fastest site in history to surpass 10 million visitors. Most important for retailers: Pinterest recently surpassed LinkedIn, YouTube and Google+ in retailer referral traffic. More visitors equal more opportunities for conversion.
Savvy Pinterest users can spot boards that are overly self-promotional and are less likely to revisit them. Weave in theme-based articles and content from other websites for a better chance to attract followers. Pin your best-selling products to your board or divide your boards by product line to attract users.
Online retail marketers know that engagement is the key to online marketing. Encourage your followers to interact with your brand by opening up your board to their contributions. Reciprocate by re-pinning content or leaving comments about other users' pins. Adding mention tags (using the @ symbol) to captions lets users know you are re-pinning their content and will drive them to follow you.
To help grow your company and connect with your customers, feature your business name on your profile, add an "about us" paragraph, connect with your Facebook and Twitter accounts, tag other users in your pins using the "@username" in your descriptions, comment on others' pins, pin your own blog posts, pin videos, use your business name in the description when you post your own products, create seasonal boards, add the "Pin It" button to products on your website, follow those who pin your stuff, create a testimonial board, promote other people's boards on your site, find the popular crowd by the number of followers they have and follow them.
Remember: The prettier the picture, the more it will be pinned.
Create a coupon or special offer board, leverage your Facebook and Google+ audience by running a contest that points to your Pinterest page, consider a "Best Use of Our Product" photo contest with entries being pinned to your Pinterest board.
Ready for Pinterest?
Pinterest is driven by beautiful imagery, which makes it a natural for our industry. If you're looking for a way to kick up your marketing and sales efforts, and want to develop a presence on Pinterest:
1. Select a user name. It's okay to use the graphics and profile from an existing Twitter or Facebook page.
2. Bring your brand alive by showcasing your products with beautiful photographs.
3. Leverage themes by creating "mood boards" that convey an image, not your products.
4. Include prices and show price changes when items go on sale.
5. Use hashtags because they offer organization support.
6. Add the "Pin It" button.
7. Engage and listen to the community; don't just broadcast your brand.
8. When you use images from across the web for commercial purposes, discuss legal liabilities with counsel.
9. Sign up for an invitation on the site—prepare for a wait—or find a pinner you know, who can send you an invitation.
Remember that creating a beautiful image is everything. Whether it's for a new product or the newest social media powerhouse, beautiful is better.

MADISONVILLE, Ky. (10/28/13) — The 49th Veterans Day Parade, hosted by the American Legion Post 6 and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5480, will be 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3
Parade participants should line up at 12:30 p.m. at the Baptist Health parking lot and organizers are encouraging all veterans to take part.
"We are asking all veterans from the Korean Conflict and also all veterans, who received the Purple Heart, to contact Chairman Bruce Unland at the VFW Post so you can be recognized during the parade," said Unland. "We would also like to extend an invitation to sit on the reviewing stand during the parade."
This year's grand marshal is Army Lt. Col. Donald Laffoon of Madisonville. Laffoon entered service at age 18 in December 1943, and served for 28 years until August 1971. He saw combat during three different wars — WWII in Germany, Korea in 1950 and Vietnam in 1969.
There will be trophies for the first, second and third place as well as the most patriotic. All entries must have a patriotic theme.
The theme for this year's parade is "HONORING OUR VETERANS / SACRAFICE AND SERVICE."
There is a chili supper being served at both the VFW Post 5480 and American Legion Post 6 after the parade starting at around 4:30 p.m.
For more information, call 270-821-5169.

Joe B. Wyatt had been chancellor for four years when I came to work at Vanderbilt in 1986, and he had a reputation as an excellent steward of Vanderbilt's finances. The Texas native didn't look the part of the academic, with his athletic physique and tan that revealed his love of outdoor pursuits–but he recognized early on how important Peabody could be both to Vanderbilt's future and to American K-12 education. The thriving Peabody College we have today owes a great deal to Wyatt's vision.
I interviewed Alexander Heard when I was writing a historic piece about the Vanderbilt/
Peabody merger, and I could see why alumni who'd been students during his time as chancellor held him in such reverence and with such affection. He was thoughtful, erudite and genteel.
I interviewed Heard's predecessor, Harvie Branscomb, a few months before he died at age 103. I was writing a piece about Rhodes Scholars, and I went to Branscomb's home on a warm winter day. The living room was like a sauna, but Branscomb had a chill, and he was fussing as he tried to turn on the fireplace. I remember his marvelous collection of Brazilian santos on the wall, a reflection of his work to build Vanderbilt's relationships in South America. He was hard of hearing but related in rich detail the story of his first venture outside the South at a fancy New York City cocktail party in 1914, where he dumped his drink in a potted plant in order to avoid getting tipsy.
Gordon Gee was a gregarious man who used to drop by staff offices unannounced. He had a distinctive voice, and because my office was near the door, when I heard him on the hall I would pass the word down the line: "Look sharp; the chancellor's on the floor." He would flit through like a hummingbird, and had an amazing facility for remembering names.
Vanderbilt's official "style," I am told, is to refer to our new chancellor as Nicholas Zeppos. Zeppos arrived at Vanderbilt the year after I did, and I have never heard anyone refer to him as anything but "Nick"–not "Chancellor Zeppos," not "Provost Zeppos," not "Professor Zeppos." Certainly not "Nicholas." But "Nick" seems a bit cheeky to someone of my generation who has always addressed faculty members by their titles, not their first names–although if you meet him on campus or in the halls of Kirkland, that's what he'll ask you to call him.
Anyway, Zeppos is a name with pizzazz. I think we should use it in print whenever possible–starting with my profile of him on page 32!

V Magazine Spain's April issue took animal prints to a whole new level in their "Go Wild" spread featuring Masha Novoselova.
According to Fashion Gone Rogue, the editorial was shot by Txema Yeste and pulled by fashion editor Alberto Murtra.
Novoselova veers effortlessly between looking positively feline in skin-tight leopard print and intensely aviary in rainbow body paint and a sculpted torso cage. A spiked tunic paired with Novoselova's eyes gives a reptilian vibe and she puts Alexander McQueen's armadillo shoes to perfectly unnerving use.
Talk about animal instinct.

DR Planning – Developing a good 'plan B'
Developing a good 'plan B' or contingency planning is often ignored or done poorly. Day-to-day operations are demanding, and the probability of a significant business disruption is small, so it's hard to make time to prepare a good plan, and of course preparing a good plan can be ruinously time consuming.
But as James York, the famous Mathematician who coined the phrase 'Chaos Theory' says -
"The most Successful people are good at plan B"
The good news is you are on the Plan B website so you have made a very good start. Plan B can provide you with a really brilliant IT disaster recovery service that will continually pre-recover and test your critical IT servers and make them available again in minutes. However, the additional benefit of the Plan B service is that its simplicity of setup, operation, testing and guaranteed recovery make it very much more simple to document a plan and of course then maintain that plan.
One of the hardest things about creating a Disaster Recovery plan is knowing where to start. Happily there is a Standard to help us – BS25777. We have taken the advice from this and created a template plan – We call it a 'Disaster Recovery plan in a box'. This template can be used very easily to produce a fully formed DR plan for your own organisation.
The Plan B DR plan template will provide you with the risk assessment analysis and ongoing management process along with a plan for a couple of DR scenarios. It's based on having a Plan B service and using Regus, our workplace recovery partner, as your solution. It will hopefully shows how simple and beneficial this will be, but it is generic and could therefore be easily adapted to whatever DR solution you may have or choose.

Perricone MD, gives free shipping and exclusive product samples to shoppers who commit to replenish products every 30, 60 or 90 days; the replenishment program is offered directly on individual product pages, making it easy for shoppers to select recurring delivery.
Garden Botanika motivates their customers to purchase regularly via member's only offers, free shipping and discounts on every purchase through its paid loyalty program. They do a highly effective job at highlighting additional member only savings through the site.
Social and Mobile Commerce: Keep Customers Connected with Each Other and the Brand
The majority of online merchants currently allow customers to share their product experiences and pass along recommendations directly to friends or the community at large via "Customer Ratings & Reviews," "Add This" or "Share This" and Facebook's "Like" functionality. Additionally most beauty retailers already have a presence on Facebook, MySpace, YouTube or Twitter. Beyond these dial tone social tactics, successful merchants are leveraging these tools and channels in a more comprehensive way—allowing them to integrate into the daily life of customers while giving their customers a sense of direct impact.
In addition to robust product information, Perricone MD also provides expert value-added content that highly leverages its social and mobile channels—giving customers a reason to visit and connect often. The Perricone site puts a unique emphasis on health regimens that go beyond just purchasing product. Through its "Start Fresh" program, shoppers receive comprehensive advice on nutrition to bolster skin health, along with exercise plans and healthy recipes. They can share before and after results from the program via Perricone MD's Facebook page, making the experience interactive and engaging, while also getting support advice from Dr. Perricone's "Daily Perricone" blog. And through its smartphone application, Perricone makes its content pervasive and easily accessible when shoppers need it most—while shopping for groceries customers can view the full Start Fresh menu plan.
Carol's Daughter, has also had tremendous success utilizing Facebook as an integral part of their marketing and loyalty initiatives. With almost 361,000 "Likes" Carol's Daughter promotes events and new products but keeps their customers engaged with questions such as "If you could have Carol's Daughter founder, Lisa Price, create ONE product just for you, what would it be?" This one post had 727 comments … now that's great social activity but the product insight they received is even more valuable.

It does not irritate the skin. It is available in convenient size. I have a sensitive skin. It works for me.there are no issues of burning, redness of skin. It removes all the hair without burning.
These things are awesome. Easy to apply and take off in just a minute. This is prefect to use your eyebrows to be long in order for the tape to grip the hair. The tape is sticky and gets all the hair out.

Please keep in stock.

I bought this product today and used it right when I got home for my legs and arms. It is true that the product does burn....a little. But after about 30 seconds it dies down and you can't feel it anymore. Unlike the reviewer above I have thinner leg hair so it might have something to do with the thickness of body hair. Depending on where you use it. Same applies to the irritation. It didn't irritate my skin but it might depending on the person who uses it.
I use this on my legs and it leaves them really smooth - however the hair must be somewhat longer in order to achieve that. does not work particularly well on stubble - but does leave the legs silky smooth!
removes hair on feet and toes great.

Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is an exceptionally versatile device but it needs some effort to realize its full potential.It's a JP1.3 class remote, meaning that if you procure the related 6 pin cable (the connector is in the battery compartment) you can program it from your PC.This approach gives you the greatest flexibility though I managed to accomplish everything necessary without the cable using just the keyboard on the remote.
As a JP1 device it will accept Enhanced Function Codes which are not even mentioned in the skimpy instruction sheet.Further, the Volume Punch Through instructions provided by the manufacturer are wrong.The site referenced below will allow you to fix that.
With help from experts on the JP1 remote forum (hi-fi-remote dot com) I was even able to program full functionality for my Insignia NS-BRDVD3 BluRay/Netflix player (not available from Amazon, try BestBuy), something the distributor said was impossible!
I was also able to completely replicate the functions (and more) of the remote which came with my AT&T Uverse DVR (a Motorola VIP1225) using the code finding and then the learning functions.The code for my box is 1998 and is not mentioned in the provided code sheet.The RCA supports all the record/pause/rewind etc. functions of the remote provided by AT&T.
Once you have used the basic four digit device codes to set up your equipment, you can then start entering EFCs to realize full functionality generally missing from the four digit one-device-code approach.Five digit EFCs are frequently available on the JP1 forum or, if not, the experts there will figure them out for you.Once you have them you can confer full input switching on this remote.For example, I use a Sony receiver and MacMini with my Vizio TV and can now switch inputs for both the TV and the receiver using the RCA.In the case of the Insignia BluRay player there is no basic four digit code that works and the learning mode does not work either.The Insignia must be controlled with 5 digit EFCs, available by searching the web.A related advantage is that the RCA has better range and ergonomics than the remote provided by Insignia.
Once you have full EFC codes input the final step is to create macros to automate sequences of steps.While only two keys are labeled 'Macro' on the RCA you can actually assign macros to any key other than the mode keys so the potential here is vast.I have now fully emulated the 'activity based' approach adopted by the far costlier Harmony range of remotes, meaning you can have one button macro programmed for 'Watch TV', another for 'Watch DVD', etc.Additionally, you can create macros to, say, jump directly to TV Favorites, something the Uverse controller does not support.
Drawbacks?Well, it needs some time and effort to learn just what this remote can do.Some of the keys are small and they are not backlit.And as an IR device, your equipment must be line-of-sight for everything to work. Finally, the provided instructions and code sheet barely scratch the surface of what this remote can do and in some instances are simply incorrect.
There are many JP1 class remotes available with like functionality, but you will not begin to to realize their true potential until you invest some time in learning what they can do.From what I have learned most of (maybe all) the One-For-All remote range is JP1 class so you have many alternatives if the ergonomics of this RCA do not work for you.You can recognize a JP1 remote by the presence of a six pin connector.
The two AA alkaline batteries shipped with the remote lasted only 14 days.Mercifully, the programming is stored in non-volatile memory so is retained even when the batteries die.There's no knowing how old these were when the remote arrived here, but I have replaced them with two Lithium AAs which claim a 7x life advantage (at considerably higher cost).I'll report back when I have some data.
The RCA + some effort on your part constitute a wonderful value.
Making it even better - Update:
As our young boy was having difficulty pointing the RCA just so at the various devices, I added a Hot Link Pro Remote Control Booster System.This device is basically a far more sensitive IR receiver which can detect the weakest of signals from the RCA - bounced off walls to its out of sight location works fine - and then routs the received signal to up to six IR components through an optical fiber cable which is attached over the IR receiver in each component.It works exceptionally well and even activates the fussy Insignia NS-BRDVD3 BluRay/Netflix player correctly, so long as you take care to place the Hot Link's sender correctly over the Insignia's receiver.A little experimentation and it's perfect.I use the Hot Link with four devices (TV, Sony receiver, DVD player and AT&T Uverse DVR (Motorola VIP 1225)).I have found you can point the RCA to the wall behind you and it still works!I mounted the Hot Link IR sensor on the back of the TV facing a wall and completely out of sight.This is like having RF functionality in an IR device.

While on their recent trip to Portland, Ore. to play the Timbers, members of the Revolution visited the adidas North American headquarters.
The guys got a tour of the facility, Shalrie Joseph participated in an online chat on the adidas soccer Facebook page and of course, the guys finished off their visit with a trip to the adidas store to pick up some new gear.
Overall it was a great time for both players and staff, and I was there with video camera in hand to capture some of the event, which you can view below.
You'll see one my favorite parts of the visit about 13 seconds into the video – and if you don't know exactly whose adidas' those are, you can see here.

Ovita's research programme is about piecing together the pieces of the genomic puzzle that affect sheep production.
Once such piece is pneumonia, a health trait that affects lamb growth and productivity across the entire country. Lambs with pneumonia don't achieve goal weights, can also contract pleurisy, and in some cases don't survive.
Farmers already know that environment and management influences outbreaks of pneumonia in young stock. But because it is caused by a raft of different organisms, pneumonia can be difficult to diagnose accurately in the live animal, and farmers often don't know if pneumonia or other causes triggered death or failure to thrive. Vaccines providing a high level of protection have also proved difficult to develop.
What's also not known is the heritability of pneumonia in sheep, so scientists at AgResearch are currently looking at the role genetics play.
Lead by Shannon Clarke, the team are working to identify lambs with pneumonia infection being processed as part of other Ovita funded trials.
The scientists have come up with a process that ranks lesions on sheep lungs at chain speed, which is successfully pinpointing how much of a problem the disease is in Otago and Southland. In the first three years of the study, they've identified that 30 percent of the 4000 sheep assessed have pneumonic lesions.
It is heritable, but the question scientists will have to answer is what genes are involved, and whether that effect is strong enough to be able to come up with genetic predictors that can rank rams for pneumonia susceptibility.
And if genetic markers can be found, both genetic and environmental management play a part in pneumonia control in future.
This technology is a result of New Zealand farmer investment in Beef + Lamb New Zealand and Ovita.
The new technology phase will reduce the gene discovery process from 10 years to potentially 18 months, revolutionising the generation of DNA marker predictions for key economic traits. Read more

Houston County Child Welfare Board Holds Booth
Houston County Courier - January 2009
It all depends on the luck of the draw on Saturday, Feb. 14 at the annual Lovelady Love-Fest whether some outdoor chef de cuisine will soon be cooking brisket on his new barbecue pit, a front porch muse will be leisurely meditating in her recently acquired porch swing, or some lucky little boy or girl will be rocking joyfully on a pinto hobby horse.
All three items have been donated by Crockett State School for Houston County Child Welfare Board's booth at the annual event held the Saturday before Valentine's Day.
Proceeds from the sale of tickets will enable HCCW to support and continue their work in helping foster children in the county.
Whenever a child is removed from their home due to abuse or neglect, the welfare board assists Child Protective Services by supplying items needed by the children, which includes clothes, shoes, diapers, and school supplies.
Information will also be available at the booth on how to become foster parents. According to HCCW President Louis Medina, there is a real need for foster parents in Houston County.
In addition, Medina announced that representatives from CPS will have pictures of children who are up for adoption; children of parents who have relinquished their parental rights; children looking for loving, permanent homes.
A holder of a winning ticket does not have to be present to win said welfare board member, Glenna Medina who thanked wood building instructor Johnny Hellums, welding instructor Dale Dykes, Crockett State School Superintendent Ron Stewart, Assistant Principal Raymond Wilson and the students that helped in the crafting of the three donated items.

To everyone here, aside from the cramps do the other symptoms practically come every period or do they come and go? For example, one symptom my friend and both share is the vomiting. For several years, once or twice a year I would vomit. Worst case, I'd vomit every 15 to 30 minutes for 4 to 6 hours. But the vomiting stopped for a few years but last year it came back.
How many doctors did you go to before your finally got diagnosed with endo and how did the doctor diagnose it? During the years I was vomiting, I brought it up with 2 GPs and neither followed through.
Also how well did birth control work to control it? I was on birth control for 6 months this year. I asked my OBGYN for birth control only because I had a major test coming up and didn't want to risk having my period during my test.
I hope I don't have it but I want to be prepared just in case I do.View Thread
But my boyfriend feels that this is really important to bring up with my OBGYN. Ever since infancy I've had a high tolerance to pain. My brother's joke is that I need Tylenol when everybody else needs Oxycotin. (He's not that far off) So what I'm feeling might actually be much more severe.
The vomiting started when I was 10 but it wasn't until I was 13 I had the constant vomiting for 4 to 6 hours. For some strange reason, it stopped at 18 but started again last December. At 18 my hips also started to get inflamed.
Also about a week before my period begins I have to go to the bathroom. At it's worst point once every 15 minutes.
In recent years I've also gotten back pain with my period especially the week prior. Sometimes they are so bad that I need Vicodin.
About family history, my grandfather's sister had a hysterectomy in her mid 20s. After she died, My grandfather told me she had uterine cancer while my other grand aunt told me it was "growths". She was speaking to me in chinese so that could mean cancer, fibroids, or endo. But this was 50 years later. It's very difficult for me to ask my family about medical history because they all live across the sea in China. They don't like talking about medical issues they may have and they don't have access to really good medical care so they could have some of these issues and not know it.
Right now preparing for my doctor's appt I'm writing down every symptom I've ever gotten and I'm jogging my memory and going through my diary to try and create a timeline of when all these symptoms started.View Thread

Kasich Edu Adviser, Interim Superintendent Among Applicants to be next Superintendent of Public Instruction
Last Friday was the application deadline for Ohio's vacant Superintendent of Public Instruction job, and one of Governor John Kasich's top education advisors has formally thrown his name in for consideration.
Richard Ross is currently director of the Governor's Office of 21st Century Education, and he helped come up with the recently proposed new school funding formula.
The state's top K-12 education post is currently filled in an interim capacity by former deputy superintendent Michael Sawyers. Sawyers has also applied for the state superintendent post, as well as several other district superintendent positions in the Columbus area.
According to the Columbus Dispatch, some say Ross has favorable odds because he has the backing of the Governor:
It is up to the 19-member state Board of Education to hire a superintendent, but the governor appoints eight of the state board members and has input. Sawyers also has applied, according to a Department of Education spokesman.
"After more than 35 years of working in education, I am excited to continue my work with the boys and girls of Ohio, and I hope I'm favorably considered," Ross said in a statement, confirming his application.
Ann Jacobs, a Republican and elected school board member from Lima who's been at odds with Kasich, said "of course" Ross will be hired "because he's a Kasich guy."
When the Board was last searching for a superintendent in 2011, Kasich's then top education advisor Robert Sommers applied, but was told he should withdraw his name because of the state's "revolving door" law.
Since Sommers had worked for the Governor's office immediately before, the revolving door law would have meant he could not interact with the Governor's office if he were chosen to be the next Superintendent of Public Instruction.
But the Dispatch reports Kasich's administration has since worked to clear the way for Ross so the same thing won't happen.
Team Kasich added language to Senate Bill 314 last year clarifying that someone like Ross (or in the previous case, Sommers) could in fact interact with Kasich's office on behalf of another state agency without violating ethics laws.

News and Notes
By George Kane
I was pleased to learn before this election that my polling place had moved from Como Park Lutheran Church to the North Dale Recreation Center, even though it is a couple of miles from my home. When I lived in California, I always voted at a public school. I don't know if California ever uses churches as polling places, but I found the practice here in Minnesota to be an unsettling mix of the sacred with the civic act of voting. This election provided considerable evidence that it is time for Minnesota to end the practice. Many churches are activists in political issues these days, and cannot be trusted to provide a politically neutral environment.

Sofia Vergara, Joe Manganiello "Very Cute Together" on New Orleans Date at Li'l Dizzy's Cafe: See the Exclusive Photo
A li'l love at Li'l Dizzy's! Hot new couple Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello got cozy on a weekend date at a local New Orleans hotspot, and Us Weekly has the exclusive first look at the pair.
The Modern Family star and the True Blood hunk stopped by the Louisiana restaurant on Sunday, July 6, to sample some fried grub and to spend some quality time together. Us Weekly broke the news of the romantic pairing on Monday.
PHOTOS: Sofia's red carpet style
"They sat very close to each other and would lean in to kiss," an onlooker tells Us Weekly exclusively. "It was mostly Sofia leaning in to kiss his cheek or his lips."
"She was also rubbing his arms," the source continued. "They were very cute together and you could tell that they have a lot to talk about. It was loud in the restaurant so they leaned into each other to talk and would whisper in each other's ears."
PHOTOS: Sofia's old engagement ring
The Magic Mike actor, 37, went casual for his date with his new love, wearing a cotton T-shirt and a backward baseball cap with sunglasses. Vergara, 41, kept her shades on inside the Nola restaurant as well, opting for a blue sleeved top.
While they remained somewhat incognito in their sunglasses, the insider adds that the pair was "very friendly and took pictures with other diners." When they weren't snapping photos and whispering sweet nothings into one another's ears, the two stars noshed on a shared plate of fried chicken.
PHOTOS: Joe's awards show style
Vergara has been spending time in Louisiana to film her upcoming movie Don't Mess With Texas with Reese Witherspoon. After splitting from her fiance Nick Loeb earlier this year, she seems to have bounced back, getting a visit from Manganiello on location.

http://point6.com/homeI'm an old school Smartwool user. I really haven't purchased anything since the company was sold. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across a press release explaining the founders of the old SW founded a new wool company. The only questions? Has anyone used them? How are the socks?
This is almost good news. If they had merino tops, it would be great news. I was comparing my ancient, tattered smartwool light top yesterday with the replacement smartwool one I got with my REI rebate. The new one feels very different and doesn't fit the same, so I keep wearing the threadbare one.
The socks are the best I've worn. I own 'em from everybody, but the fit and comfort from Point 6 is really top notch. The socks haven't been out long enough to determine real-world life expectancy, but I got some early pairs and have been wearing them regularly. Truly love the fit of the socks.They're made w/a compact spun merino, which should give a more durable sock than Smartwool.Fit truly great. I like the "Active" line.Smartwool, Teko, Darn Tough, whatever else... I grab my Point 6 socks first.

Tiny Pens Fan Flips Out on Parents
by John Chagaris | December 15, 2011 at 12:17 PM | NHL, Sports
Sports fandom, for a preadolescence boy is tough.
First of all, you feel the teams' successes and failures much more than the average fan would. Uncontrollable temper tantrums when your team loses, and total elation when your team wins. Sounds exhausting, especially for a hockey fan who has to go through those mood swings for 82 games a season. Second, you can't quite seem to understand why anyone, let alone your parents, would like any other team besides the one you hold so dear to your heart.
Well this young Pittsburgh Penguins fan's parents decided to play a trick on him by switching their allegiance to the Detroit Red Wings. Now, the young boy may not understand that the Pens and the Wings met in back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals in 2008 and '09, each earning their chance to hoist the Cup.
The young Pens fan's classic display of loyalty and complete disbelief that his parents could even think about rooting for another team is absolutely priceless.
Maybe the best thing about this video is that the kid is throwing a fit while wearing a Sydney Crosby jersey.
I admire the kid's dedication though. Keep with it kid, and don't let the shattered trust of your parents deter you from rooting for your favorite team.

China's economic growth surges but inflation low
SHANGHAI (AP) - China's economic growth surged to 11.9 percent in the first quarter but inflation was lower than expected, easing pressure on Beijing to hike interest rates and slow the third-largest economy's rebound from the global slump.
Consumer prices rose 2.2 percent compared with a year earlier, the National Bureau of Statistics said Thursday, well below the government's ceiling of 3 percent for the year.
The data suggested Chinese leaders are succeeding in their effort to keep stimulus-fueled growth high while preventing inflation from spiking up. Analysts were closely watching Thursday's data to see whether interest rate hikes or more drastic action was required to prevent overheating.
Still, the government called for caution.
"The current economic situation is still extremely complex and we still face many problems in the process of recovery," the statistics bureau spokesman, Li Xiaochao, told reporters in Beijing.
He said the government will maintain pro-stimulus policies but be "more flexible and targeted, according to the situation."
The latest data showed China is on the verge of overtaking Japan as the second-largest economy behind the United States. China's gross domestic product last year was $4.9 trillion, just behind Japan's $5.1 trillion. Tokyo has yet to report first-quarter figures.
The surge in economic expansion was up from just over 6 percent in the same quarter a year ago and 10.7 percent in the final quarter of 2009. It was supported by a 19.6 percent rise in industrial output over a year earlier and a nearly 26 percent rise in investment in factories and other fixed assets.
Chinese leaders face a challenge in checking inflation and curbing reckless, stimulus-fueled spending on unneeded factories and other assets that could leave a mountain of bad debts.
Beijing raised fuel prices Wednesday in a show of confidence about its ability to keep inflation in check.
Inflation rose to 2.7 percent in February compared with a year earlier, adding to expectations prices may be getting out of hand. The statistics bureau said March inflation eased slightly to 2.4 percent.
On Wednesday, the government reported housing prices in 70 major cities rose 11.7 percent in March from a year earlier - adding to alarm over a potentially dangerous bubble in real estate prices.
"We believe Beijing now needs to take another small step to exit from its stimulus policies," said Stephen Green, an economist for Standard Chartered Bank in Shanghai. "There are a number of reasons to be concerned that a nastier bout of inflation is in the works."
Beijing reported its first monthly trade deficit in six years for March as imports surged, reflecting China's faster recovery from the global crisis than its key trading partners.
Lending by Chinese banks fell 43 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier as the government tightened credit controls while trying to wind down its stimulus.
Also helping to cool cool inflation, prices for farm produce have fallen for seven weeks, suggesting food costs would ease.
Regulators have renewed efforts to assess risks from loans and each day brings fresh reports of projects found to be unprofitable or ill-conceived.
A high-speed rail service from Beijing to southeastern China's Fujian province was shut down after just two months because passengers shunned it in favor of cheaper air fares.
Associated Press researcher Bonnie Cao in Beijing contributed to this report.

Hi-Lux 1x50 mm Red Dot Tactical Sight is rated out of 5 by 5.Rated 5 out of 5 by DAVID from I have this dot on a tapco modified SKS. This is the 3rd dot I have put on this weapon. The previous two would not hold target. One was an aimsport, the other I do not remember the brand. It was due to the harsh recoil and the way you have to mount this. On my weapon it is mounted towards the front of the stock on the rail. Well, this one worked well. THANKS! Finally. It is rather large though. It is the same size as a beer can. But it seems to be well made and help target after 60 rounds.

'NMC faces challenge in replacing outgoing chief'
The news of chief executive and registrar Dickon Weir-Hughes' sudden exit from the Nursing and Midwifery Council couldn't have come at a worse time for nursing.
With such high-level media interest in cases such as Stepping Hill and Mid Staffs, not to mention the prime minister's recent pledge to improve standards of care, this should be a time for the regulator to instil confidence in its registrants.
The public, the media and the government want and need to be reassured that the regulator is a worthy body to be scrutinising nurses. But the NMC itself is now going to be under much scrutiny and the subject of much speculation. Although that is familiar ground. The NMC is no stranger to mismanagement accusations, many of which were revealed in this magazine five years ago.
The profession can't afford for its regulator to be thought of as having skeletons in its cupboard – even if they don't really exist. The focus must be on how it handles the register, presides over the standards of nursing and manages fitness to practise cases – and achieving all that has been missing from some previous administrations. It's little wonder that nurses' confidence in the institution is shaky. Able to empathise with many nurses because of his previous experience in working in a struggling London trust, Professor Weir-Hughes did manage to gain more support than is usual for someone in that role.
Many are concerned about what a challenge the NMC now faces in finding a replacement who can ensure that standards are set and monitored consistently. And someone who ensures that the way the regulator conducts itself is beyond reproach. That can't really be too much to ask - can it? We wish them well with their search.
This week, we're focusing on helping you to plan your future in nursing. Don't miss our webchat at 1pm on Wednesday 18 January and career-based content at nursingtimes.net
Follow me on Twitter @nursingtimesed
Chat live with the editor and other nurses at nursingtimes.net every Wednesday at 1pm about this column.
Readers' comments (25)
Hmm, makes me wonder why he's stepped down now if it is such a crucial time for nursing though. Might, in that case, end up being a very constructive opportunity for much needed change in the watchers and creating an effective watcher of the watchers.
oh Jenni, what are you on about? I just wish you would leave nursing opinion to nurses.
judging by all the NT readers comments following another post on the subject it seems he left at a very opportune moment and it is high time for change before it is too late and more damage is done to the profession and its members!
are the nurses registered with the NMC entitled to an explanation from that organisation as to why their leader left? after all they paid his salary!
"oh Jenni, what are you on about? I just wish you would leave nursing opinion to nurses."
Really? Do you have to be a nurse to have a valid opinion about nursing? If that's the case I may as well stop reading newpapers or watching the news either - it's all full of people giving their views about areas they don't work in but do watch for their jobs.
I don't agree with what the editor's view said but she's paid to know about nursing so why can't she sya what she thinks?
I'm not a doctor but I have opinons about doctors all the time and I bet they wouldn't like most of them!
Anonymous | 18-Jan-2012 3:25 pm
You have expressed your opinion.
I have expressed mine which was intended for Jenni, as I mentioned at the top.
if you don't want other people to comment on your opinion don't make it publicly - you could always email her if you don't want other people to express opinions on it
Anonymous | 18-Jan-2012 5:50 pm
thanks for your unsolicited advice.
I am quite happy for others to challenge my opinions as long as they are not offensive and had this not been the case I would have e-mailed Jenni.
Now, now. The important discussion is getting lost in the mud slinging. Where were we all...Jenni was writing about the NMC chief abandoning his post at the drop of a hat, 'with immediate effect', mid crisis and no explanation or notice. Surely that's worth more energy?
The public do indeed need to be assured that the NMC is fit for purpose. This is the most important statement in the article.
Currently they are not. Not good for nursing and not good for the NHS when they see nurses suspended for trivia (wearing a small gold crucifix comes to mind) but nothing done at all about Bev Allitt's. Quite unsettling.
What they don't seem to be fit for purpose in is challenging an environment, in which nurses are being made to work, that is causing the harm to patient care. Their remit seems directed solely at the nurses for either not whistlebowing the management or whistleblowing their colleagues.
This is what needs a strategic review and restructure I would argue
Oh he's gone all of a sudden..didnt even notice!!!! Thats because they DO NOT represent us properly, with strong voice and powerful support.
Just "Yes" men/women to whatever government is in at the time.
And i pay £76 per year for the privilage of being a member along with thousands of others...mmm thats a lot of money.
Also wondering why the rules of giving notice,dont apply here?
What a mess,no wonder no-one takes us seriously as a profession
It just shows the nurses are not well reprensented by the nmc and the union.
The nurses are one of the paid employees and yet we pay 2 bodies to represent us . Nurses do not get money for value.
It make everyone wonder why this person resigned and who is next.
Please keep the nurses up to date with the nmc progress on this mater.
Comfort London.
Itt's extraordinary that The Chief Executive of the NMC has walked away overnight after only 2 years without even giving notice. What's going on?
Phillipe Cook | 23-Jan-2012 2:44 pm
even more extraordinary that that the NMC, on their site, have made a brief statement but without giving any explanation which is presumably owed to its members and the public (or am I wrong?)!
Anonymous | 23-Jan-2012 2:54 pm
Indeed! Isn't it interesting? Isn't the deafening silence also interesting?!
the silence appears to be an affront to all those on the NMC register!
Given the instant resignation I wonder if he recieved just his wages to that point or did he get any form of 'golden goodbye' payments ....... hmmmm - methinks I'll use the Freedom of Information Act to find out what the NMC does in these circumstances.
Phil Dup | 24-Jan-2012 11:57 am
please share the outcome of your quest.
I am worried nurses confuse a regulator with a union. I think it is important nurses understand the difference between the two. Regulator is there to protect the public primarily but ensuring standards.
Anonymous | 24-Jan-2012 4:38 pm
I think nurses are perfectly able to distinguish between their regulator and the unions and their different roles!

Starbucks Mobile Reaches Blackberry
Gift cards are great. They show you that the giver took enough time at the checkout line to think of a place that you'd like and lock you into spending a certain amount of money at that establishment. The only problem with the gift card idea is the transmission of funds. You have to carry around another de facto credit card. Don't get me wrong, I love having a gift card in my wallet if I ever need to open a door, but I already have a Ralph's card for that.
All you iPhoners out there already have the ability to load up your phone with Starbucks Starbucks giftcards, but recently, the iPhone's ugly cousin, Blackberry, got the power as well. When someone gives you a gift card, you just enter it into the app and chuck the card in the recycle bin. Next time you order your French Press (seriously, it's off menu, but go to a store and try it today) all you have to do is quit Facebooking long enough to open the Starbucks app. The barista on register will scan the barcode on your phone and you're good to go. Technology, FTW!
I'm sure these types of apps will proliferate and evolve as each store tries to be the leader in mobile technology. I'd really dig some added functionality that would let you place your order on the phone then alert the store when you're 5ish minutes away from the store (based on your GPS location). I think that might be getting into far future territory where everyone's car folds up and we all have robot maids though.
And the next time you find yourself anxiously waiting in line for a caffeine fix, send a shout-out to Starbucks on Twitter and Facebook.
Rick Gideon | Monday, September 6, 2010
It's odd that they went after the BB market instead of the Android. Apparently someone forgot to tell Starbucks that the BlackBerry is old tech.
