Candle Fundraisers - Learn How to Raise the Most Money
Written by Howard Gottlieb
The candle industry has done a great job evolving with the times to not only keep itself relevant as a retail product but also as a perfect fundraising product.
In fact, candle fundraisers have grown by nearly 30% a year every year for the past four years.
We hope you'll watch our video to learn a little more.
Did you know that nearly every house in America has at least one candle in it? Now people not only burn candles they use fragrance bars in warmers. They use oils. It seems people have a love affair with candles. And that makes it the perfect fundraising product.
5 Reasons Our Candle Fundraisers Make Sense
Reason #1 - You Make 50% Profit
There are lots of candle fundraisers available to people. In fact one of the best known candle brands in America, Yankee, offers a fundraising program.
The problem is that they only offer 40% profit and their candles are extremely expensive.
Why settle for lower profits? Our candle fundraisers have price points starting as low as $4. That means everyone can afford these products unlike candles that cost $20 or more.
Reason #2 - Best Selection of Candle Fundraisers
Although virtually every home and office in America owns and burns candles it doesn't mean that they all like the same thing.
We are different than many companies because we not only have multiple wax based products we also design different candle line that are attractive to different target markets.
For example we have Journey of Faith Candles for churches and Christian groups. We have a line of Holiday Candles designed to sell as gifts. Our top selling line for the past 5 years have been Earth Candles. And a couple of years ago we developed a line called Magic Melts which compete with all of the scented wax bars that have become so popular.
So before choosing a candle fundraiser consider who you will be selling to and choose a product designed specifically for your customers. You can also combine programs.
Reason #3 - No Minimum Order
Since candles are so easy to sell it made sense to make these programs available to anyone. So years ago we decided to eliminate minimum order requirements.
That means everyone who sells candles will make 50% profit on every candle they sell.
Reason #4 - No Cost to Get Started
We not only offer the best selection of fundraising candles and eliminated minimums we wanted to make sure every group could start a candle fundraiser so we eliminated any upfront costs.
So if you are ready to start a candle fundraiser simply choose the products you want to sell and we will send you the following free of charge:
1. One full color brochure for every member of your group to sell with. This is what they will show friends and families and record orders on.
2. A cash collection envelope for each member of your group to store checks and cash in.
3. Complete printed instructions on how to hold your fundraiser.
4. An online dashboard to manage your fundraiser. You can submit your order here and you can even tally all your group orders in your dashboard.
Reason #5 - We've Partnered with A Wonderful Candle Manufacturer
Our candles are manufactured here in the U.S.A. by Heritage Candles. Here's what they say about themselves:
"We are a family-owned business that is passionate about great candles, our wonderful customers and our partner programs. We pride ourselves on using the finest candle making ingredients available today to make hand poured candles that are: Highly Fragrant • Long Burning • Affordably Priced"
We have partnered with other candle producers in the past but none have ever been as dependable as Heritage. Their quality is outstanding and they treat each order as if it were the most special order they ever received.
How does a candle fundraiser work?
Candle fundraisers fit into a category called brochure or catalog sales. Basically that means that we provide a full color brochure, order form and cash collection envelope for each member of your group. They use those materials to sell candles with.
Your members show the brochures to friends, family and others and ask them to purchase candles. They'll take orders and collect payment. We suggest they sell for around 2 weeks.
At the end of your sale you collect everyone's order forms and tally both your orders and money together and you are ready to place your order.
You are not buying anything to start your sale. You only buy the candles that were already sold so there's no excess inventory risk or need to lay out any money.
Minimums, Packaging and Shipping
There is actually no minimum order on any of our candle lines. If you sell only one candle we will ship you one candle.
Although there is no real minimum we charge a shipping and handling fee of $65 if you sell less than 150 candles. Once you've sold 150 items we pay 100% of the cost of shipping. Obviously it pays to make sure you can sell 150 items or more to maximize your results.
Three of the candle lines offer candles in glass jars. The jars are packaged in individual boxes which are then placed in larger heavy cardboard boxes for shipping. Be aware that candles are heavy and fragile.
Our newest addition to our candle line is called Magic Melts. Those are wickless wax fragrance bars that you melt in candle warmers. The best known manufacturer of a similar product is Scentsy.
When you're ready to get started:
We offer 4 different candle lines. Earth Candles are the most popular because of the depth of the line. We offer Journey of Faith candles for church and Christian groups. Our newest glass jar candle is called Quote Candles. They have secular inspirational themes on the labels so they have broad appeal. And finally we have a brand new line of wickless wax fragrance bars called Magic Melts.
You'll find much more detail on each product page so we won't review all of those details here. But they all work the same.
When you're ready to get started you simply go to the product page and click on the Get Started button. We will ask for some basic information about your group and contact info. We'll ask how many brochures you'll need and when you want to get started. And that's it. We will send all your materials out within a day or two. When you get your brochures you are ready to go.
Why should I buy candles from Easy Fundraising Ideas:
Easy Fundraising Ideas helps more groups throughout the country than most any other company. So we know what types of candles are selling well and which aren't. You will find the best options available on this page.
The fact of the matter is that you can choose lots of companies to help with your fundraiser. We believe, though, that we are the best option and our customers will tell you that. That's why we offer testimonials from actual candle fundraising groups. You can see what they say before you decide.

anyway to control aperture in panorama mode?

Re: anyway to control aperture in panorama mode?
You can get around this by using a stitching program outside your camera. Set your camera to manual mode thereby you control the aperture and shutter speed, and take your shots one at a time, making sure you overlap the edge of each scene by 30 percent. Using the grid on the LCD helps with the horizonal alignment when you are taking the shots. I find that using this method you will get a better looking pana than what is produced in the camera.

hi guys.
i want some help.
i have downloaded some weapons skin for counter-strike & condition zero
but how do i install so that i can see it in my game.
- Download the Condition Zero or 1.6 Weapon skin of your choice, must be a weapon in the game.
- Open your "/counter-strike/cstrike/models" folder. (for CS 1.6 use)
- Open your "/condition-zero/czero/models" folder. (For CZ Use)
- Once the Skin is downloaded open the zip Skin file. There should be v_ w_ p_ types of the skin for weapons
- Drag the Skin file (name should be "v_*valid-gunname*.mdl") to the Models folder.
- Once you have all of your skins copied to your models folder, you may now open CS 1.6 / CZ and play
thank you for replying so quickly... wait till i try and get back to you. thank you once again.
hey! it worked! thank you mozilla. i can enjoy the favourite apperance of my favourite guns. thanks a lot.
Hey, this seems like as good a place as any to ask. I just got back into CZ and would love some custom skins. Since the advice here seems accurate I'd love to follow it the only problem is I can't find the specified file, ran search for it and nothing. Got any help for me?
here is the link where u can download the skins :
For Counter-Strike 1.6
For Condition Zero
Well I checked in the cstrike folder and I noticed some of the folders were missing. What do I do and what are they called?
What version are using ? CS : zero or CS 1.6 ! does this tutorial work for you . just see care fully there will be a folder called models in evry cstrike , cezero etc . or if you have your cs in C then put this in the top of the page C:\Program Files\Condition Zero\czero\models , just edit cstrike with the czero
Hey guys...
i got a little bit of a problem here...
i already installed my cz and 1.6 skins, but when its loading is complete, it return to the main menu again....

With the federal budget sequester set to begin March 1 unless Democrats and Republicans come to a last-minute agreement, healthcare entities are wary of the impact on their industry.
Much remains to be seen about the effects of the sequester, which was negotiated between President Obama and congressional Republicans during the summer of 2011 as a way to curtail the federal budget deficit in the event the sides could not agree on a less severe approach. Since they have failed to reach any such agreement, the sequester is about to become a reality.
This much is known: Among the numerous federal agencies and programs facing a mandatory reduction in spending, Medicare is staring at a 2% reduction in provider payments. The total reduction for this year will be $11 billion, according to the White House. The sequester in theory lasts for 10 years, but could be replaced at any time by another negotiated agreement.
MedeAnalytics, a provider of healthcare management solutions, estimates that Medicare Part A will be cut by roughly $4.5 billion this year, Ken Perez, the companys director of healthcare policy and senior vice president of marketing, said in a news release. Depending on how the cut is spread between hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and other providers, Perez said, the average hospital would be looking at a reduction of $0.8 million to $1.3 million.
Medicare Part B reductions could total as much as $4.1 billion, Perez said, translating into a 3% to 4% reduction in the Physician Fee Schedule, depending on how the cut is apportioned between physicians, the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System and other providers.
The American Nurses Association, American Medical Association and American Heart Association commissioned a report last year that described the degree to which the sequester will lead to lost jobs and reduced care capacity. The number of jobs lost in the first year alone could total 496,000 in the healthcare industry and related professions, according to the report.
"Nurses have always strived to put patients at the center of a healthcare system that emphasizes prevention, wellness and coordination of care, the kinds of services that experts agree are essential to not only improving the health status of patients but also lowering overall healthcare costs," Cindy R. Balsktra, RN, MS, CNS-BC, the ANAs first vice president, said in a news release.
"Cutting Medicare spending in a way that eliminates healthcare jobs is an extremely short-sighted way to contain the high cost of healthcare."
Other segments of healthcare will be affected as well. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to cut an unspecified number of jobs. Those losses could result in 424,000 fewer HIV tests by public health programs at the state and local levels, Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, wrote in a letter to Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md.
Sebelius wrote that 373,000 "seriously mentally ill adults and seriously emotionally disturbed children" might not have access to needed mental health services, potentially leading to hospitalizations and homelessness. And as many as 91,000 fewer people could receive substance abuse treatment services.
Research grants funded by the National Institutes of Health will be diminished and in some cases eliminated. Cutbacks at the Food and Drug Administration could cause a delay in approvals of new drugs and medical devices, and 2,100 fewer food inspections this year, Sebelius said.
The National Association of Community Health Centers estimates 900,000 patients will lose access to care at CHCs, many of which will have to slash services or close because of funding reductions at the Health Resources & Services Administration.
"The impact of such an arbitrary cut will carry a ripple effect," Gary Wiltz, MD, of the Teche Action Center health center in Franklin, La., and board chairman-elect of the National Association of Community Health Centers, said in a news release.
"People could lose access to basic healthcare services, and many of them cannot afford to go anywhere else. Every community that a health center serves will be adversely affected in some way. Current patients, many of whom have chronic conditions and need ongoing medical care, may lose access to the low-cost primary care they know, or low-income families who have been waiting for a health center to open its doors in their community might have to wait even longer, or they will just go to the local emergency room for care."
Hospital groups have expressed concern that any replacement for the sequester may be as detrimental to their industry as the sequester itself. With healthcare spending significantly driving overall federal spending, Medicare figures to be a prime target of any push to bring down the deficit.

This IDC study forecasts the digital PC gaming market worldwide through 2019 along several dimensions. The market is broken down into three key business models: subscriptions, prepaid downloads/add-ons, and freemium or free-to-play titles. The role of digital distributors and online community providers is also considered in some depth. North America is broken out from a combined rest of the world region. The hardcore versus casual digital PC gamer dynamic is additionally explored in the study.
"The number of online PC gamers who regularly play at least one hour per week should approach 700 million by 2019," says Lewis Ward, research director of IDC's Gaming program. "Although smartphone and tablet gaming alternatives are eroding some demand for casual browser games in particular, it's also true that hardcore PC gamers have fallen in love with free-to-play eSports games like CrossFire, Dota 2, League of Legends, and World of Tanks, and so total revenue should grow by nearly 5% a year through 2019."

Laptop fan (can be) loud, even though not hot?
Hey guys,
So sometime last week, my laptop shut itself down for (I think) the first time since I got it. But this was because I was blocking the vent with my leg without knowing it. My bad.
Just now when I turned it on, the laptop fan decided to be pretty loud and the computer shut itself down. I had my hand checking the temp at various points, and the laptop didn't get all that hot at all. Anywhere.
Any idea why? I guess it could be a dust issue inside the comp or something, rather than a temperature issue? I also leave my laptop on sleep mode rather than shutting it down, dont know if that helps?
It's no big issue yet, but I'd like to know what I can do to prevent it from escalating

Jose Fredy
Update on Jose FredyJosé needs to invest in his crops again which is why he's requesting a loan to buy supplies that will help him improve production. He will buy five sacks of manure, insecticide and other supplies. He feels his previous loan had a positive effect in that he increased production and earned higher income through sales. His family is very well thanks to Kiva.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

The verdict is in, and smudge pots take the prize for sexy eyes! This unique gel eyeliner and shadow is an innovative alternative to traditional powder and liquid formulas. This clever little gel has an inky intensity that leaves powder shadows in the dust. A favorite for the sultry, smoky eye.
Enhance your natural eye color by applying with Stila Brush #28. Begin at the lash line and keep close to the root of the lash. After lining your eye, smudge color softly over your eye lids for a sexy shadow look.
This pot of black goop is awesome! I have used many eyeliners to get the kitten eye look and this is my favorite!! I have sensitive eyes and it doesn't make them burn like other wands or premixed eyeliners. It lasts all day!! It doesn't move around, especially in the summer when you're sweating!! NO reapplying!!
How to use:
a.Use a angled eyeliner brush, something thin but that you can control.
b. I like to use the cap to load up my brush. By grabbing a little and putting a dollop in the lid, I find I can add a little or a lot to my brush. Think Painter.
c. Apply using a wiggle along lash line and then lightly smudge giving a natural look
d. or load up your brush and make a detailed cat eye.
e. use a old washcloth to remove any extra eyeliner loaded up in brush.
d. best removed with eye makeup remover and cotton or a good two and one cleanser.
I have used many eyeliners and this one is truly great!! Its good for most age groups and gives you a nice strong color that doesn't fade. It does take time to master using the brush and mine usually dries out before I get through all of it. Even with that, I still like that I only have to put it on once and I'm done for the rest of the day!
I love Stila smudge pots. I bought the set that includes black, kitten, purple and blue. Used with a smudge brush they're easy to apply and stay put all day. The purple and blue colors are gorgeous without being over-the-top.
While still wet, you can smudge the gel to create a smoky look, or just apply it along your lash line to accentuate the eyes.
I find them much easier to apply and more versatile than standard pencil liners.
Well, it certainly seemed like a good idea. Alas, this is nothing but tar in a jar. You will rip the skin off your eyes trying to remove it and then you have to deal with the gunk on your hands. After that, you will have to deal with the taps, door-knobs and bottles that you soiled along the way. The worst? It didn't even look good while I had it on. It's too dense to function as an eye-shadow, and too cakey and sticky to work as a liner. Just don't do it, ok?
Apply with a liner brush for razor-sharp precision or smudge it with your fingers for more complete coverage. Remember to always close the airtight lid to keep the gel soft and pliable.

New Roman and Prehistoric Aerial Discoveries at Grandford, Cambridgeshire
Potter, T. W., Robinson, B., Antiquity
The Romano-British settlement at Grandford lies northwest of the town of March, in the heart of the Fens of eastern England. It straddles the `Fen Causeway', a Roman road that ran west-east across the Fens, and which probably originated at the legionary vexillation fortress at Longthorpe, near Peterborough, held between c. AD 48 and 61/62. Small-scale excavations between 1958 and 1968 demonstrated occupation for much of the Roman period, down to the later 4th century, beginning at least as early as c. AD 65 (Potter & Potter 1982). It was suggested on various grounds that the settlement may have started life as a Roman fort, constructed in the aftermath of the great rebellion of AD 60-61, led by Boudicca, Queen of the Iceni (Potter 1981: 85-7). This hypothesis has now been strikingly confirmed by aerial photographs taken in July 1999. However, the remains are of not one, but two superimposed forts of different sizes, the larger measuring some 140 x 100 m., suitable for an auxiliary unit of 500 soldiers. They are situated within the bend of a now extinct river, the silt spreads from which were present at the base of the excavated areas, themselves located a short distance to the south of the forts; an elderly man's skeleton, with a 1st-century brooch, was found in 1962 embedded within them, face down, probably drowned.
An immediately post-Boudiccan date for the later fort (whichever that was) remains plausible, and is further supported by the recent discovery by metal detectorists of items of 1st-century armour. But there is also a possible historical context for the first fort. Tacitus (Annals 12.31) describes an earlier Icenian revolt, in AD 47, the denouement of which is likely to have taken place at Stonea Camp, 9 km to the southeast (Jackson & Potter 1996: 43-4). There is little evidence otherwise for much of a military presence in Iceni territory (which was accorded the status of a client kingdom), and ordinary policing was clearly thought unnecessary. …

Winner of the 2011 Euler Book Prize, Mathematical Association of America
Honorable Mention for the 2008 PROSE Award for Single Volume Reference/Science, Association of American Publishers
One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2009
"The Princeton Companion to Mathematics makes a heroic attempt to keep [abstract concepts] to a minimum . . . and conveys the breadth, depth and diversity of mathematics. It is impressive and well written and it's good value for [the] money."--Ian Stewart, The Times
"This is a panoramic view of modern mathematics. It is tough going in some places, but much of it is surprisingly accessible. A must for budding number-crunchers."--The Economist (Best Books of 2008)
"Although the editors' original goal of text that could be understood by anyone with a good background in high school mathematics provided short-lived, this wide-ranging account should reward undergraduate and graduate students and anyone curious about math as well as help research mathematicians understand the work of their colleagues in other specialties. The editors note some advantages a carefully organized printed reference may enjoy over a collection of Web pages, and this impressive volume supports their claim."--Science
"This impressive book represents an extremely ambitious and, I might add, highly successful attempt by Timothy Gowers and his coeditors, June Barrow-Green and Imre Leader, to give a current account of the subject of mathematics. It has something for nearly everyone, from beginning students of mathematics who would like to get some sense of what the subject is all about, all the way to professional mathematicians who would like to get a better idea of what their colleagues are doing. . . . If I had to choose just one book in the world to give an interested reader some idea of the scope, goals and achievements of modern mathematics, without a doubt this would be the one. So try it. I guarantee you'll like it!"--American Scientist
"Accessible, technically precise and thorough account of all math's major aspects. Students of math will find this book a helpful reference for understanding their classes; students of everything else will find helpful guides to understanding how math describes it all."--Tom Siegfried, Science News
"Once in a while a book comes along that should be on every mathematician's bookshelf. This is such a book. Described as a 'companion', this 1000-page tome is an authoritative and informative reference work that is also highly pleasurable to dip into. Much of it can be read with benefit by undergraduate mathematicians, while there is a great deal to engage professional mathematicians of all persuasions."--Robin Wilson, London Mathematical Society
"Imagine taking an overview of elementary and advanced mathematics, a history of mathematics and mathematicians, and a mathematical encyclopedia and combining them all into one comprehensive reference book. That is what Timothy Gowers, the 1998 Fields Medal laureate, has successfully accomplished in compiling and editing The Princeton Companion to Mathematics. At more than 1,000 pages and with nearly 200 entries written by some of the leading mathematicians of our time and specialists in their fields, this book is a one-of-a-kind reference for all things mathematics."--Mathematics Teacher
"Overall [The Princeton Companion to Mathematics] is an enormous achievement for which the authors deserve to be thanked. It contains a wealth of material, much of a kind one would not find elsewhere, and can be enjoyed by readers with man different backgrounds."--Simon Donaldson, Notices of the American Mathematical Society
"This is an enormously ambitious book, full of beautiful things; I would wish to keep it on my bedside table, but that could only be possible relays, since of course it is far too large. . . . To sum up, [The Princeton Companion to Mathematics] is really excellent. I know of no book that will give a young student a better idea of what mathematics is about. I am certain that this is the only single book that is likely to tell me what my colleagues are doing."--Bryan Birch, Notices of the American Mathematical Society
"The book is so rich and yet it is well done. A rare achievement indeed!"--Gil Kalai, Notices of the American Mathematical Society
"My advice to you, reader is to buy the book, open it to a random page, read, enjoy, and be enlightened."--Richard Kenyon, Notices of the American Mathematical Society
"Massive . . . endlessly fascinating."--Gregory McNamee, Bloomsbury Review
"This volume is an enormous, far-reaching effort to survey the current landscape of (pure) mathematics. Chief editor Gowers and associate editors Barrow-Green and Leader have enlisted scores of leading mathematicians worldwide to produce a gorgeous volume of longer essays and short, specific articles that convey some of the dense fabric of ideas and techniques of modern mathematics. . . . This volume should be on the shelf of every university and public library, and of every mathematician--professional and amateur alike."--S.J. Colley, Choice
"The Princeton Companion to Mathematics is a friendly, informative reference book that attempts to explain what mathematics is about and what mathematicians do. Over 200 entries by a panel of experts span such topics as: the origins of modern mathematics; mathematical concepts; branches of mathematics; mathematicians that contributed to the present state of the discipline; theorems and problems; the influences of mathematics and some perspectives. Its presentations are selective, satisfying, and complete within themselves but not overbearingly comprehensive. Any reader from a curious high school student to an experienced mathematician seeking information on a particular mathematical subject outside his or her field will find this book useful. The writing is clear and the examples and illustrations beneficial."--Frank Swetz, Convergence
"Every research mathematician, every university student of mathematics, and every serious amateur of mathematical science should own a least one copy of The Companion. Indeed, the sheer weight of the volume suggests that it is advisable to own two: one for work and one at home. . . . Even an academic sourpuss should be pleased with the attention to detail of The Companion's publishers, editors, and authors and with many judicious decisions about the level of exposition, level of detail, what to include and what to omit, and much more--which have led to a well-integrated and highly readable volume."--Jonathan M. Borwein, SIAM Review
"Edited by Gowers, a recipient of the Fields Medal, this volume contains almost 200 entries, commissioned especially for this book from the world's leading mathematicians. It introduces basic mathematical tools and vocabulary, traces the development of modern mathematics, defines essential terms and concepts, and puts them in context. . . . Packed with information presented in an accessible style, this is an indispensable resource for undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics as well as for researchers and scholars seeking to understand areas outside their specialties."--Library Journal
"The book I'm talking about is The Princeton Companion to Mathematics. If you are in an absolute rush, the short version of my post today is, buy this book. You don't have to click on the link with my referral if you don't want to, seriously just pick up a copy of this book, I can guarantee you that it will be love at first sight. . . . The Princeton Companion to Mathematics is not only a beautiful book from an aesthetic standpoint, with its heavy, high quality pages and sturdy binding, but above all it's a monumental piece of work. I have never seen a book like this before. . . . [T]he bible of mathematics. . . . I believe this is the kind of book that will still be in use a hundred years from now."--Antonio Cangiano, Math-Blog.com
"I'm completely charmed. This is one of those books that makes you wish you had a desert island to be marooned on."--Brian Hayes, bit-player.org
"This has been a long time coming, but the wait was worth it! After many years of slogging through textbooks that presented too many proofs and demonstrations that were left to the student or lacking numerous intermediate steps, after encountering numerous 'introductions' that were obtuse and highly theoretical and after digesting far too many explanations with maximal equations and minimal verbiage, we arrive at the happy medium. This book is a companion in every sense of the word and a very friendly one at that. . . . For a comprehensive overview of many areas of mathematics in a readable format, there has never been anything quite like this. I would urge a trip to the local library to have a look."--John A. Wass, Scientific Computing
"This book is supremely accessible. Many in the sugar industry with a fairly good grasp of mathematics will probably not struggle with it, and will invariably marvel at its richness and diversity. [A] great companion."--International Sugar Journal
"The book contains some valuable surveys of the main branches of mathematics that are written in an accessible style. Hence, it is recommended both to students of mathematics and researchers seeking to understand areas outside their specialties."--European Mathematical Society Newsletter
From the Back Cover
"This is a wonderful book. The content is overwhelming. Every practicing mathematician, everyone who uses mathematics, and everyone who is interested in mathematics must have a copy of their own."--Simon A. Levin, Princeton University
"The Princeton Companion to Mathematics fills a vital need. It is the only book of its kind."--Victor J. Katz, professor emeritus, University of the District of Columbia
"I think that this is a wonderful book, completely different from anything that has been written before about mathematics and mathematicians."--Endre Süli, University of Oxford
"The Princeton Companion to Mathematics is a much needed--and will become a much used--reference work. In fact, it will stand alone as the reference work in mathematics."--John J. Watkins, Colorado College

The JAC Motors launches line 2014 J3 hatch and sedan versions - car that meets the nickname J3 Turin, in allusion to the Italian city based design office who signs the lines of the Chinese model – who presents with new front and rear, and new interior as well.
Regarding prices, the JAC J3 2014 part of R $ 35,990, while the sedan model, the JAC J3 Turin, is priced at R $ 37,990.
The new and the new J3 J3 Turin won unprecedented front: headlights, grill, bumper, fenders and hood, and new alloy wheels.
At the front, the new optical assembly displays larger flashlights, outlined by fillets internal organic contours. The grid also increased as well as the logo of the JAC.
Chrome strips were added, which helps to emphasize the impression of superior class. Already the bumper lines received more fluid, less bulky, intensifying the elegance of the design.
The lower grille is now much larger, as are the accommodation of new foglamps. Hood and fenders have also been redesigned.
And the back of the J3 Turin is also new, with new trunk lid and bumper and new taillight greater.
In J3 Turin, the new aesthetic proposal is repeated in the rear. The model lost that slender optical group, which is outlined in a vertical design, and received a more elegant look. With a set "horizontal", each lantern is divided between the fender and the back cover, designing sobriety and simultaneously increasing the impression of size sedan.
One gets the impression that the rear "grew". In the new bumper, base gained contours embossed and the addition of a light-spy. Both get new alloy wheels.
Inside, we reformulate the standard items, since both models received central locking doors, key-army knife, audio controls on the steering wheel and instrument panel with LCD display. The entire instrument panel and side coverings are new.
Already baptized as "Model 2014," the new J3 and J3 Turin also begin to show a new interior. The entire instrument panel has been redesigned, accentuating a profile that raises the dual compact JAC Motors to a top class finish. The steering wheel has three spokes and is characterized by an element hollow at its base, and bring piano black appliques, better grip with leather upholstery and unheard audio controls right at your fingertips.
The instrument panel, in turn, has lost one combined set of speedometer and tachometer. The new proposal is characterized by individual dials framed by chrome fillets. They are spacious, with better reading. Fuel level and engine coolant thermometer are packed "inside" of the larger instruments.
The partial odometer and odometer now come in an LCD screen, which also contains an indication that the vehicle door is eventually opened. Are also different levers attached to the steering column, where it triggers lights and directional arrows (left) and windshield wiper (right). The ventilation fins, in turn, are no longer round.
Won square and a drawing threaded facilitating the adjustment direction of the air inside the vehicle. To the left of the steering wheel, the dashboard displays the commands of the electrically operated door mirrors, which were previously on the door handle of the driver, and electric height adjustment beam headlights. The new and the new J3 J3 Turin receive also the rheostat lighting instrument panel and the key type "knife", where the metal rod is hidden in the core and is unlocked by a button.
Similarly, the center console is entirely new, starting with the trim piano black . At the top, he received an audio integrated into the set, while the HVAC controls were shifted down.

With high school athletic teams ready to kick off their seasons, Fathead is offering one high school team the opportunity to get a Fathead makeover. All YOU have to do is tell Fathead in a video of 60 seconds or less why your team is most deserving. Pretty simple, right?
To be eligible, all videos must be submitted by October 3, 2012 via webcam or file upload. After Fathead narrows the field down to its top five finalists, YOU vote for the winning team.
By now, you're probably wondering about the grand prize. For starters, individual members of the winning team will receive a custom die-cut Fathead. That's right. You can submit any personal photograph you want and you'll get it back in the form of a Fathead. Extras will be provided to put around your school gym, locker room, etc. along with five Fathead murals of your team competing.
If that's not enough, your team will also be featured on Fathead's homepage. Think about it. You put hard work in every day in the classroom, during practice and games to be the best you can be. All you have to do now is come up with a short video and your team could win the prizes listed above. A quick video compared to all the other hard work you put in is nothing.
After Fathead narrows the videos down to five finalists, you have until November 5, 2012 to vote. Complete rules and regulations can be found here.
Do you have what it takes to come out on top of the Fathead High School Team Video Challenge? Submit your video and find out!

When I drive for a few minutes and come to a stop at a red light and then accelearate, I hear a loud thud, the vehicle becomes immobile for a few seconds and then starts driving ok. I took it to my local Acura dealer and they fixed the sensor on the left front wheel, drained the transmission fluid, etc but no luck. They say nothing comes up on the computer when the vehicle is plugged in! Any body facing the same problem? My gut feeling is that the trasmission is quitting but I only have 67K miles on this car and has been gently used. I appreciate any feedback.

As a professional artist who rarely sketches, I was surprised to find a sketchbook I'd forgotten I'd made. It was filled with sketches from the late 1970's. "inside my sketchbook" includes every sketch from that book, for it's like a window into the type of creative thinking I was doing at that time. As I thumbed through the sketchbook, I was astonished to see how many of the sketches had been made into paintings. Because I found it interesting to compare the sketches with the paintings they inspired, I've included the paintings -- in color and black and white -- in a separate section, along with personal observations about each.
After a thirty-plus year career creating paintings and works of art, Norma Jean Anderson (known professionally as Norma Auer Adams) has turned to writing. The subjects covered by this versatile artist have included stories about her paintings, memories of a beloved pet, and postcards from her father, saved from childhood that reveal how San Francisco in 1945 saw itself through its penny postcards.

Great features with a few exceptions

Comments about Maytag 21.71 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator - Black:
1. When getting ice from the door, it comes out so fast and goes all over my wood floor.2. The ice comes out in so many broken pieces its a mess to clean up from the floor.3. Many times no ice comes out and you can hear it turning and turning. This is because it has not made any ice and yes, it is turned ON to make ice.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Outstanding Product Features

Compared various brands and features and it came down to Maytag. Liked the French doors, bottom-freezer, great storage capacity/shelving, convenient in-door water and ice maker. LED lighting!!!Liked that it was made in the USA.
By Diane

I like the refrigerator, but the icemake broke in 13 months, had to replace. When it was about 2 years old had to have another service call and part replaced for the defrost plug line. Wish I would have bought an extended warranty. Thought Maytag was more reliable

By GrandmaLDW
from Buffalo, NY
I didn't NEED a new refrigerator, but I sure wanted one -- stainless with water and ice through the door. I purchased this fridge about 5 weeks ago, and I'm so happy I did. I was a little worried that I'd lose some inside shelf space, but definitely not the case. Filtered water tastes great, and I'm thrilled with the convenience of getting water and ice so easily. LOVE that the freezer offers so much organized space. I am so happy with this purchase and now realize I 'needed' this new refrigerator after all!

By Pete the Golfer
from Salem, Oregon
The last fridge we had lasted 35 years and was still working but it wasn't exactly using energy wisely so we bought this Maytag and are we glad we did. Love the ice and water in the door, the drawer freezer. It is everything we could ask for and more. Maytag is a wonderful product.
By Susan
from Portland ME
I had limited space for a refrigerator, and I realize it was smaller than what I was used to, but this refrigerator is very difficult to fit things into, and it's hard to find things after they've been put away. However the vegetable drawers are designed so you only have to open one door to access 1 vegetable drawer. I find the bottom meat/cheese storage sort of awkward. In general, I'm not crazy about this refrigerator, though.

Making some progress!
Friday, January 04, 2013
After four days of light therapy I am still experimenting. For example the overhead lights above my computer are daylight bulbs, and though not as direct as my desk lamp, it's a nice re-charge. However last night, I used them too late, and so didn't go to bed until after 11 PM and then slept poorly.
I'm also trying harder to go to bed and get up at the same time daily. I use my dawn simulator then my visor or desk lamp for (at least) 30 minutes in the morning, and again in the evening or sit at my computer with the overhead lights. I still am giving it 2 weeks before I make any decisions or start taking any other supplements for it.
It's hard though. I feel the best in the mornings - especially after I use my light, but then feel more tired in the afternoon and late afternoons. I find if I do my "recharge" about an hour after sunset, I can generally stay up until a normal hour to go to sleep.
Therefore I'm undecided about staying long-term, or if I should move somewhere sunnier. Then I go for a glorious trail run and think it's worth staying even if I have to sit by a lamp every day. I've not yet gone skiing as I've not had the energy to get all my gear together, go buy the various passes I need and then drive out, etc. I also want to make sure my conditioning is up to par. But that is one consideration though - if I am too tired to do the things I love, not sure if it's worth living closer to them.
I used to live in Phoenix and had no problems with depression there, and was extremely social and energetic. However there I felt it was too hot to go out and do things like running. So, I also think if you always look for the perfect place, you may never find it. So maybe I should just do my best here and then decide. At the same time, I don�t want to get too tied into a place that is not a good fit. I did that with the last place I lived and was miserable for several years. This is just one time of the year I�m having problems though, hopefully the lights will continue to help and my mood will then improve naturally once spring hits.
That being said, my workouts have definitely improved with the increased energy from the lights. From not working out at all and just wanting to sleep, I now do about a half hour of running or the cross country skier daily, and started a new strength program from the book, �You Are Your Own Gym: The Bible of Bodyweight Exercises�, by Mark Lauren. I discovered there is a guided phone app available. I am doing a 4x a week plan for now. I am going to see about joining an official gym soon. I am also considering starting to teach group exercise again too, but it�s all so much right now. I wish I had my energy back and clarity, things and decisions would be a lot easier.

I'm so glad you're finding things that help! A lot of people here find they suffer from SAD to one degree or another; everything else you've gone through the last few months no doubts exacerbates things, but it sounds like you're on the right track. Hopefully you'll find just the right combination that helps and be able to stay long enough to enjoy our beautiful summers here. Happy New Year!

Give yourself some time to see how it goes. I use the lamp, too, and it really makes a difference. I live in WI and have always grown up in the Midwest, so used to it I guess.
Good luck moving forward. HUGS

I think it is a combo---your dad's passing, the move, the being disorganized and not feeling settled---that combo and the lack of sunlight would have a big impact on anyone. Give yourself some time---and maybe increase the light use a bit more. But see, you are making some progress and getting moving is probably helping a lot.

Well, you could've been here where it was FORTY degrees colder than in Seattle yesterday. I'm a morning person, so I always get tired in the afternoon, too - but that's just tbe way I'm wired. But I also know how much better I feel when the sun is out - even if it's cold.
I'm sure you'll figure out what's best for you, but don't judge by the winter alone!

I Have a Question RE: College Football's Ofiiciating...
Re: I Have a Question RE: College Football's Ofiiciating...
posted at 12/19/2009 10:26 PM ESTIn Response to I Have a Question RE: College Football's Ofiiciating...:To ALL: So I'm watching The New Mexico Bowl. Wyoming and Fresno State look to me like 2 rather mediocre teams led by a couple of unaccurate QBs, AND I gotta say, that I'm ENJOYING this game as much or more than most NFL Games I've seen his season... The Ofiicials are just letting these guys "play", and the players are busting their rears leaving it all on the field. There are zero "Peyton Interference" game-changing "gimme-scoring opportunities." Heck, I just saw a play where a CB and a WR got their legs tangled while both going up for the ball, and The Officials did NOTHING...weird. BUT, I don't want this thread to be another redundantly accurate take about The Colts and what 99% of Football Fans will deem to be a completely uncredible possibly perfect season, due to Referee help, I just have a few of simple College Officiating questions for those more in the know than I (not huge on College Football, just Draft)... ~I saw a play in the first half that (I believe) wasn't in the final 2 minutes of half-play, and The Defensive Coach asked for a Review on a reception. It was upheld, and He did NOT lose a Time Out. Q: Are ALL plays Reviewable in College Football withOUT the potential for a loss of TO? ~Second question regards that particular case of incidental contact between the O and D players that got their legs tangled. Q: IS there a different take on Illegal Peyton Interference in College Ball? Q: IF Peyton Interference was in fact called (It was about a 20 yard pass play to the WR in the endzone)-WOULD it have been a 1st and goal at the 1 yard line like in the Pros, OR a 15 yard Penalty? Thoughts ANYONE ?
Posted by LazarusintheSanatorium
Question 1 I know for a fact is Yes, all plays are reviewable and the coachs dont have to aks for it either, if a ref is unsure he can review it.
Question 2a, the rule isn't written differently NFL refs are just more likely than not to give the PI to the offense probably because the Commish wants more money. I dont know about the penelty, i think it is just a 15 yarder auto first down, but idk.

Sunday, December 02, 2012
We had the opportunity yesterday to go to Queens and help families clean up after Hurricane Sandy. Yes, it's been over a month since the hurricane swept through New York City, but there are still people with disaster areas for homes as Winter approaches. There were lot of groups there helping, which was great to see, but there's a lot to do.
I'm going to write something a little later today about the actual experience, but I'm going to be navel-gazely here and talk about food and me because I need to remember this.
So this past week I've been very mindful about my eating. I've had a cookie here or there (ONE cookie), but generally I haven't eaten wheat at all (except for the little bit in a cookie) and instead have been eating meat and fat and fruits and vegetables. I made most of my meals this week at home.
Yesterday morning I made us sandwiches to take to New York. I also bought crackers and Mint Oreos and apples and carrots to take and share with our group. One of my Young Women from church came with me and Jason so I had to feed her too. We left the house at 5:30 AM and stopped at McDonald's for breakfast at around 7:30 because highway food offerings are limited. I had a Sausage biscuit. Sausage, good. Biscuit, bad (but so, SO good too, even if it is McDonald's. I have deep Southern roots and love a buttery biscuit).
Lunch came and I ate my sandwich (on whole wheat bread everyone! No problem, right?) I also had a couple of corn chips someone brought and a couple of Mint Oreos.
After we were done, we went to a diner for dinner, and I ate most of a hamburger (with bun), plus a couple of bites of cake (Jason got a meal that included dessert).
We drove home and 4 hours later watched a TV show and I had a couple more Mint Oreos. Because, Mint Oreos!
I thought, I'm doing manual labor, my body can handle some wheat and other carbs.
Last night, at about 12:30 AM, I almost threw up. I went to bed with a stomach ache, and at 12:30, woke up wide awake, trying not to lose those Oreos.
This morning I'm trying to keep my head from exploding into a full-on migraine and my stomach isn't so hot. I'm popping Excedrin and I just ate some eggs in a bunch of butter and I feel a little better. Aren't you supposed to eat greasy foods for hangovers? For me, I think I'm being literal when I say I have a carb hangover.
I have a ton of stuff to do today (go to church, teach a lesson, Evensong rehearsal and service) so I just can't be sick.
Can someone please sit on my shoulder and be that little angel who reminds me how I feel when I eat grains all day long? Geez! You'd think I would have learned by now.

Kyee Kan-2 ...Myanmar (Burma)AgricultureFunding via Proximity Designs
Tar Taing-2...Myanmar (Burma)AgricultureFunding via Proximity Designs
Leik Kan Village
A new loan would enable this community to pay for labor fees. Due to the lack of job opportunities in the village, many young people are migrating to other cities. As a result, there are not many people who are able to work on the farms, and the cost of labor has increased to $4 for one day. Those who own many acres need to hire labor to weed at least twice per season. To supplement crop income, villagers will raise livestock such as goats, work on government-sponsored road construction projects, and collect green gram from neighboring cities.
Pictured above are the committee members from the Leik Kan Village CBO: U Soe, Daw Shwe, Daw Mar, U Kyaw, U Phel, and Daw Than. Included in the photo (third from the right) is U Soe, who is 38-years-old and the father of two small children. The new loan would help him to pay for laborers to weed his farm to protect his crops. He expects to spend about $150 in labor fees this farming season.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan will be facilitated through Proximity Designs network of Community Based Organizations (CBOs) in order to support rural farmers in Myanmar's Delta and Dry Zone regions. Proximity worked closely with CBOs to provide relief services after Cyclone Nargis and to support village infrastructure projects.
CBOs also play a key role in providing access to microcredit. In this model, CBO committee members support Proximity loan officers throughout the entire loan cycle. They assist in selecting village borrowers and also act as formal representatives during loan disbursement, collection of repayments and other communications. CBO committee members appear in Kiva profiles – often alongside village borrowers – as representatives of the community.
Since families rely heavily on income from farming to support their livelihoods, these loans are structured with a single bullet repayment at the end of the loan term. The timing aligns with expected harvest season when borrowers will be able to repay. All community members who receive financing through the CBO model must repay their portion of the loan before a village will be eligible to receive new funding.
About Proximity Designs:Proximity Designs is a non-profit social enterprise that offers loan products to help small, low income farmers increase their productivity and income. There are around 12 million farmers in Myanmar who make up more than a third of the labor force. The majority of these farmers have virtually no access to formal credit institutions.
In the absence of other financing opportunities, most small farmers in Myanmar are unable to afford the equipment, material, and labor necessary to grow their crops without the help of Proximity Designs. Kiva funding will be used to help Proximity Designs expand its agricultural microfinance operation and reach more low income, rural farmers.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.
