"I've flown across the world y'all, and I've come back here to tell you—open your minds and live a happier life."
I'm not sure about 'stealing' our rainbow :D but I think it can only be good when people from groups that are traditionally homophobic speak out like this. I just hope people listen. It's also interesting that he mentions 'fear'. I think that some homophobia IS caused more by fear (and ignorance) than pure nastiness.
I agree that it's a positive thing that Kanye is speaking out against homophobia. I just think it's unfortunate that because Kanye feels positively about the gay community that his own sexuality is questioned. I think that could be why sometimes members of the straight community find it hard to speak out in support of LGBT people.
Kudos to Kanye for admitting he was wrong, and doing so without boycotts. Some of the artists who signed the Reggae Compasionate act I felt were doing it just because they were made to and didn't really believe what they were signing. It's good when an artist like Kanye can come to that conclusion without people twisting their arm. It shows a level of maturity that some of his fellow musicians lack.
Good on him for making the journey towards reason. Still, I hope greatly that my dress sense would change his ideas about gay people and dress sense.
For anyone who missed it, this very interesting recent article by Johann Hari appeared first in Attitude and later in the Independent.
As for Kayne West, good on him for taking the first steps to becoming a more rounded man. He's obviously started to realise that haters can be victims of their own hate inasmuch as it ends up stunting their own emotional development and life opportunities. In other words, your fellow man's rights and freedoms are, in fact, your own human rights and freedoms.
I say fair play to him, but as already stated its shameful that he has to defend himself because he believes in equality. I think people need to stop being so militant and realise this guy means well instead of calling him out for embracing a largely positive stereotype. I mean, even if it is a stereotype he's showing admiration for it. If more straight men would take fashion advice from the more, "fashion-inclined", the highstreet would be a safer place for my eyes to be in.
And, as all people frightened by something they don't know, they know badly, they had been talked about in a bad way, Mr West may had read about homosexuality, he might got informed about homosexuality, he may have talked with homosexuality to be explained and here comes the result, as usual.
Homophobia is just about letting ignorancy lead one's world and letting that person build horrible images, worse than reality. So worse that you can't ask about it, confront it to the truth, so unbearable that it could exist. The fact is that it doesn't. So obviously, they want to destroy it (derogative words, gay slurs or physical violence one member of that community).

ASEAN Energy Chiefs Seek Alternative Oil Sources
Byline: GENALYN D. KABILING
Even as they welcomed the decision of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to boost its oil production, energy ministers from Southeast Asia yesterday agreed to look in their own backyard for alternative sources of oil to lessen reliance on costly imported crude.
The agreement was reached during a luncheon hosted by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo for the visiting energy ministers of the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and the trade ministers of China, Japan, and Korea in Malacanang.
We would continue to have our dialogue with our producers from outside the region but in general we decided that we need to integrate more closely with each other by tapping our very own resources whether it be oil, natural gas, coal as well as renewable energy, Energy Secretary Vicente Perez said in a press briefing.
The visiting officials are in Manila for the 22nd ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM) and the first meeting of the AMEM +3 that includes the trade ministers of China, Japan, and Korea.
Perez was the chairman of the 22nd AMEM. He was addressing energy senior officials from 20 countries attending the event in Makati.
Perez said the President cited the ASEAN +3 meeting in Manila as most timely considering that the price of oil has been volatile and energy security is a paramount concern to sustain the economic growth in the region.
He said the energy ministers also agreed to review and update the ASEAN Petroleum Supply agreement signed in 1986 to be more responsive to the oil needs of the members.
He said the agreement stipulates that an ASEAN member, if in distress, could rely on its neighboring countries for oil supply.
Perez said the President led a lively discussion with ASEAN energy ministers on the diversification of oil
resources as well as the use of alternative fuel such as compressed natural gas for public transport and
forms of bio-diesel to reduce the regions dependence on imported petroleum whose supply and price have been
controlled by OPEC.
He said the President suggested the use of coconut oil for biodiesel, which is a first for the Philippines,
to the visiting ASEAN energy ministers. In most countries, biodiesel is a mixture of diesel fuel and ester derived either from corn, soya, rapeseed or palm.
According to Perez, the ASEAN members are starting to buy oil from fellow Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, and Russia.
The ASEAN energy ministers are also hammering out plans for a regional gas network to increase energy security for the region, he said.
Indonesia, with Asias biggest proven gas reserves of natural gas, has proposed a pipeline running from East Kalimantan to Sabah in Malaysia and then to the Philippines. It would join a network of other proposed pipelines to link supply and demand centers in the ASEAN.
Perez, meanwhile, welcomed as a positive sign the decision of OPEC to increase their oil production from 23.5 million barrels to 25 million barrels to keep the prices of oil stable.
Were very glad that OPEC in the last extraordinary meeting that they had listened to the call of consuming countries, he said.
The security of energy supplies has become a priority for Asia as strong economic growth increases the regions reliance on imported crude, most noticeably from the oil-rich but volatile Middle East.
The ASEAN group has been lobbying before OPEC to increase production of oil and lower the prices for its member-nations.
On the domestic front, Perez expressed hope that local oil companies would continue to offer and if possible expand outlets offering discounted diesel products to the public transport sector.
He admitted though the government cannot force the private-owned oil companies to continue with the practice since this is a free market. …

Life events and the onset of bulimia nervosa: a controlled study
S. L. WELCH a1 , H. A. DOLL a1 and C. G. FAIRBURN a1
a1 Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford
Background. Life events may play a role in precipitating the onset of bulimia nervosa. This study aimed to determine the rates of occurrence of certain life events during the year before onset of disordered eating in women with bulimia nervosa, and to compare them with the rates among age-matched normal controls.
Methods. The subjects were 102 women with bulimia nervosa and 204 women without an eating disorder, all recruited from the same community sample of young adult women. Interview measures were used for diagnosis and for assessment of life events.
Results. The bulimia nervosa cases reported more life events during the year before onset of disordered eating than were reported by controls of the same age. Events involving disruption of family or social relationships, or a threat to physical safety, were especially common among the bulimia nervosa cases.
Conclusions. These findings suggest that certain life events may play a role in precipitating the onset of bulimia nervosa. The study was retrospective in design. Prospective studies of the role of life events would be valuable, but difficult to perform.

Be sure you get a charger that charges cell individually, NOT in pairs, or you will have problems. Also, you MUST condition batteries every couple of months, even NiMH. I like the Titanium Innovations. It does both Google them out.

ACHS 2015-2016 Marching Schedule
The 2015 fall marching schedule is now available. Please click here to see the schedule and signup to voluteer.
The school district has started a new registration policy for volunteer registration, and it is MUCH easier than in past years. Simply go to the main office and give your drivers license to the receptionist and tell her you are registering to be a volunteer. They will scan it, and that is it! If there is a problem, you will hear about it, but otherwise you are registered. To volunteer for band events, you must sign up by Tuesday evening before the event. We will give the full list of volunteers to the office. The office will then print volunteer badges for everyone. It's that easy now
Students will be asked by section leaders to attend sectionals. Sectionals during the summer are often not school supervised,
so attendance is at parent discretion. Once school begins, section leaders will host mandatory sectionals up to
twice a month at Atlantic High School.
Sign up to Receive Important Updates via Text with Remind
The booster organization utilizes a text blasting service, Remind, to send out text message updates. This service will not be used for general communications, but rather important updates. An example is the expected arrival time at the band room on the way back from an away game, , inclement weather, last-minute schedule changes.This is an "opt-in" service that requires you to follow a few simple steps to register your cell phone number to receive these messages NOTE: Text message fees may apply. Check your carrier plan for more information about text message charges.

Nurse-Midwifery/Women's Health Nurse Practitioner (NM/WHNP)
Program Overview
The Nurse-Midwifery/Women's Health Nurse Practitioner (NM/WHNP) program is designed to prepare registered nurses to manage a woman's normal obstetrical and gynecological needs during the childbearing years, manage the care of the normal newborn, and provide primary care to women throughout the lifespan.
Georgetown University School of Nursing & Health Studies established the Nurse-Midwifery program in 1972. The program now includes an innovative Women's Health Nurse Practitioner program, which provides students with the opportunity to study women's health and midwifery practice through a strong didactic program that includes advanced courses in pathophysiology, pharmacology, and health assessment. The program also includes a clinical sequence that allows students to experience a wide range of women's health settings.
Learn more about the philosophy, mission, goals, and terminal objectives for the NM/WHNP program.
NM/WHNP Curriculum
The Nurse-Midwifery/Women's Health Nurse Practitioner concentration is for registered nurses who wish to care for the health and well-being of women during their reproductive years as well as the normal newborn. Nurse-midwives provide prenatal, birth, and postpartum care for women and healthy newborns. Nurse-midwives also provide gynecological and some primary care services for women from menarche through menopause. Because of this, Nursing@Georgetown delivers a combined, multidimensional Nurse-Midwifery and Women's Health Nurse Practitioner curriculum.
All graduates of the NM/WHNP program are eligible to become dually certified as Nurse Midwives (CNMs) and Women's Health Nurse Practitioners (WHNPs) without any extra coursework. Graduates are eligible to sit for the midwifery exam offered by the American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB) and the WHNP exam offered by National Certification Corporation (NCC) to become Board Certified (BC).

The mobile library visits various spots in Jing'an District three times per week, for two hours each time. According to the sign, this has been going on since 2010? I had no idea.

Earth Chakras
Daily Om: As we walk upon the earth, we walk upon a living being more similar to ourselves than we imagine. Just like us, the earth has both a physical body and an energetic body, complete with a chakra system identified by ancient mystics and modern scientists alike. Gaia, as the earth is called when acknowledged as a living entity in her own right, has her own life force and her own path of unfolding, separate from us, but including us. Human beings and Gaia are intertwined on every level, not just the physical, and an awareness of her chakras can help us to acknowledge, heal, and enable her on her path, just as she selflessly returns the favor to us. It is generally agreed that Gaia has seven major chakras distributed evenly across her body and connected to one another via two lines of energy that intersect at various points on the earth. The first chakra is located at Mount Shasta in Northern California; the second is in Lake Titicaca in South America; the third chakra is in Uluru-Kata Tjuta in Australia; the fourth chakra resides in Glastonbury in England; the fifth chakra is at the Great Pyramid in Mount of Olives; the sixth chakra is in Kuh-e Malek Siah in Iran, and the seventh chakra is in Mount Kailas in Tibet. In addition to her seven major chakras, she has minor chakras and other vortexes of energy that are significant to her life-energy system, and all these energy centers need caretaking. Just as we can heal ourselves through our own chakras, we can heal and support Gaia through hers...read more>>>...

The Toyota Corolla is one of the best-selling sedans in the compact class, so chances are many moms and dads rely on it for family transport. The Corolla was redesigned for 2014 with flashier styling and better fuel efficiency, but it's not the most family-friendly sedan in the class. Difficult-to-access Latch anchors and a tight backseat kept this sedan from acing our Car Seat Check.
While we normally use a Britax Roundabout convertible car seat in our checks, we used a Britax Marathon convertible in this one. The Marathon is roughly the same width and height as the Roundabout, but the Marathon's depth is 21 inches while the Roundabout measures at 24.4 inches.
How many car seats fit in the second row? Two
What We Like
What We Don't
Grading Scale
A: Plenty of room for the car seat and the child; doesn't impact driver or front-passenger legroom. Easy to find and connect to Latch and tether anchors. No fit issues involving head restraint or seat contouring. Easy access to the third row.B: Plenty of room. One fit or connection issue. Some problems accessing third row when available.
C: Marginal room. Two fit or connection issues. Difficult to access third row when available.
D: Insufficient room. Two or more fit or connection issues.
F: Does not fit or is unsafe.
About Cars.com's Car Seat Checks
Editors Jennifer Geiger and Jennifer Newman are certified child safety seat installation technicians.
For the Car Seat Check, we use an infant-safety seat, a convertible seat and booster seat. The front seats are adjusted for a 6-foot driver and a 5-foot-8 passenger. The three child seats are installed in the second row. The booster seat sits behind the driver's seat, and the infant and convertible seats are installed behind the front passenger seat.
We also install the forward-facing convertible in the second row's middle seat with the booster and infant seat in the outboard seats to see if three car seats will fit; a child sitting in the booster seat must be able to reach the seat belt buckle. If there's a third row, we install the booster seat and a forward-facing convertible. To learn more about how we conduct our Car Seat Checks, go here.
Parents should also remember that they can use the Latch system or a seat belt to install a car seat.

Bald? Want to be bald? If so, eat free today!
Hairless heads and wannabe Sinead O'Connors can score free food today at five local restaurants: Edina Grill, Longfellow Grill, Groveland Tap, 3 Squares, and Highland Grill. Baldness entitles you to up to $15 worth of free food, and if you're willing to take it all off, you'll not only get free lunch but also $30 in gift certificates (as long as you make a donation to Operation Uplink, an organization that provides calling cards to U.S. military servicemembers). C'mon ladies, the odds are against us. Who's gonna represent? The restaurants are all owned by the Blue Plate Restaurant Company. (Might we speculate that someone in a position of leadership there is bald?)

Michael Jackson's best songs were alive, and they made the listener feel the same way. They had heart and soul, blood, sweat and even some tears — they were living things, expertly crafted by some of the best scientists in the business (Berry Gordy, Quincy Jones, Rod Temperton, etc.). Jackson's voice — sometimes lithe and tender, other times pained and downright dangerous — was always the lifeblood, the stuff that primed the pump. The musical flourishes (the disco rushes, the rock-hard guitar solos, the cinematic orchestral sweeps) were the DNA. The beat was the backbone.
Those building blocks were used to create some of the most undeniable music of the past quarter-century, massive hits that still fill dance floors and bring tears to the eyes of the faithful. They are the reason we remember the man. And they're still potent, still being employed by producers and musicians today — a testament to the genius of Jackson and his team of musical creators.
Some of the biggest acts in music today have built hits around MJ samples. [artist id="1230523″]Kanye West[/artist] and T-Pain lifted "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" for their 2007 hit "Good Life." [artist id="1940303″]Rihanna's[/artist] "Don't Stop the Music" took the beat from "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' " (which Jackson actually sampled from Cameroonian singer Manu Dibango's 1975 song "Soul Makossa") and MJ's famed whoops. [artist id="1269″]Jay-Z's[/artist] "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)" samples the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back." And we're just getting started.
Public Enemy sampled Vincent Price's famous "Thriller" cackle on their seminal "911 (Is a Joke)." [artist id="1000″]Nas'[/artist] "It Ain't Hard to Tell" sampled "Human Nature." Tupac's "Letter 2 My Unborn" samples "Liberian Girl." [artist id="1244169″]Diddy[/artist] sampled the J5's "Walk On" on his "All About the Benjamins" remix. Big Pun, Ghostface, Redman, Ludacris and [artist id="508574″]Jennifer Lopez[/artist] — all sampled at the altar of the King of Pop.
Electronic artists like Moby and the Prodigy got in on the act too. And the list goes on and on … artists well-known and obscure, legendary and fleeting: They've all sampled Michael Jackson's songs. In fact, his musical DNA is so widespread that it necessitates sites like this and this just to document it. Jackson the man may be gone , but we're willing to bet that his music will live on — continuing to influence and inspire and build the songs of the 21st century.
MTV will be paying tribute to MJ throughout the weekend with music videos, exclusive performances and calls and tweets from celebrity admirers and friends.

If youre really worried about it tho you could always have her come to your place in the evening and keep the lights low that way you wont be worried about having bright sun light shining on your face which would make the ance and redness more obvious. That might make you feel a little more secure during the date and hopefuly next time you go on a date your skin will be all cleared up and you wont have to worry about it!

How can I center the header logo?
How can I center the header logo?
It should be possible to center it by adjusting the CSS. If you can provide a link to your site, we can give you the CSS you need.
You may want to go to the responsive forums though - http://cyberchimps.com/forum/free/
That forum is dedicated to that particular theme.
Hi Advent,
While you may want to adjust the width attribute for the size of your particular graphic (used as your logo), here is the CSS you want.
If you are using a child theme, please put it into the child theme style.css. Otherwise, you can add it with the Responsive Theme Options in the Admin Dashboard.
#logo {
float: none;
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 300px;
padding-top: 30px;
We have used this method a lot at 1wd.tv and found that it's possible to do some pretty powerful mods with some basic css.
If you need any more help, please let me know ;-)
Sorry, we do not monitor these forums, please use the official forum:
A much simpler solution would be to recreate your header image with a width of 960 pixels.

Black Diamond Powder Keg — We're Here!
I'd never refuse a trip to the Utah Wasatch — even if they are a bit sparse on snow. Drove to Alta today from Colorado. My wife Lisa and I are here to blog the coming Powder Keg skimo race. Plan is to snowcat ski and test BD skis tomorrow as a "rest" day, then do the race Saturday (rec class). They've got some kind of athletic endeavor planned for us the next day (Sunday), but I have a feeling we'll have to duck out of that for the hot tub.
You never know though, if I pound two or three of the Honey Stinger protein bars I got in my blogger's goody bag, perhaps by Sunday I'll be running across the street from here and doing a few laps in Cardiff, at night, with the BD Icon headlamp which incidentally was also in my goody bag, and I'll measure my amazing vertical with the Brunton altimeter that was hidden under the headlamp, and deodorize my socks with the Quick Fresh odor eliminator I found deep down in the pile. Yeah, socks…. I forgot all my socks so an extra pair is beaucoup handy (Thorlo, of course), as is the Quick Fresh since sock recycling is now the name of the game.
Turns out we're hanging out with an interesting and fun group, among them are Leslie Ross of Babes in the Backcountry (ski technique tips for Lisa?), Peter Kray from Ski Press (writing tips for Lou?), prolific freelancer Kevin Fedarko (more writing tips?) and none other than Randosteve himself!
Steve was on the U.S. randonnee racing team last year. This year he's doing a ton of ski alpinism in the Tetons and blogging prodigiously — we're figuring Steve is our media team coach. Maybe he'll trade a few speed tips for blog tricks? But from the looks of things at his website Rando Stevie really doesn't need any blog enlightenment — so perhaps we'll have to get that insider race info some other way. Everyone leaves their boots in the hallway here at the lodge, so perhaps we can "borrow" one of his boots and blackmail him for a few snips of Randobewan wisdom.
|We're staying at the historic (or at least classic) Peruvian lodge. What a place. This is ski lodging like it should be. Bathrooms down the hall, tiny room packed with two people's gear (and mountain of swag, after all, this be a press trip!), dining room where people join strangers and are immediately friends because they ski. Anyone not from Utah care to name the mountain pictured above, that we can see by pressing our faces to the room window?
|Rando Steve between turns. He muttered the words "time for payback?" when I snapped this shot, so I suspect I'll be dodging his camera all day tomorrow.

Nice goody bag, eh? Those Stinger Protein bars have 20 grams per bar, which is a load! Is that good for a race, or excessive?

Better keep your skis underneath you today Lou…I'll be hunting for an elusive…'Lou wipes-out" photo!

where can I get a new 26tpi headset for my '72 Raleigh Grand Prix?
1" x 26tpi headsets have been deprecated for several decades already. They are still made and used in southern Asia; perhaps a mail-order place in India might be able to sell you one?
Otherwise, you will need to salvage a used one from another bike.
Yeah, unfortunately its either find a headset off another bike or ebay. The only other viable option would be to get a new fork and use a standard headset.
2011 Cannondale CAADX Rival - 2010 Niner EMD9 - 2008 Surly Steamroller - 1965/66 Cinelli Supercorsa

if the top portion of your headset is still good you can reuse it with new bottom bits

Why B2B's MUST adopt social media strategies
Jun 17th
But after spending a few weeks assessing the state of social media among industrial companies, I'm changing my mind.
To be sure, B2B social media successes have been scarce. According to a 2009 Forrester research study, 86% of B2B companies had NO integrated social media strategy. These are smart folks — if there is a way to market effectively for less, they'll be doing it. But there are good reasons why there is slow adoption in this segment of business:
- Social media takes time and new skillsets. The recession will depress any rapid change in marketing capabilities.
- In a failing economic environment, the emphasis is on near-term cash generation and survival, not "community."
- Building a community seems less relevant when you have a small number of known customers tied up in long-term contracts.
- Understanding the shift in marketing channels, customer dynamics and relevance to B2B will take time … and maybe a few retirements.
When the economy improves, I believe mainstream B2B companies WILL make the shift as they understand how technology is already re-defining their customer relationships. Here's why:1) Sales and marketing is about building relationships … and that's what social media is all about. The intense, high-value B2B industrial relationships are like a marriage. B2C is a flirtation — gimme a coupon and I'll go out with you baby. There are probably lots of ways this important, long-term B2B bond can be enhanced through the constant contact enabled by social media, especially throughout a long sales cycle. Perhaps it will take place behind a firewall — most people don't want to discuss their marriage in public!
2) It's where the customers are. In some of my seminars, I challenge attendees to find their "truckstop" — the place where customers hang out. That place has changed dramatically over the past few years. Even baby boomers are spending enormous amounts of time on the Internet. The lines between professional "truckstops" and social "truckstops" are blurring. In the old days, business networking took place on the golf course or at glitzy trade shows booths. Those days are over. We need to find the new truckstops and they're online (53% of Facebook users are over 35, up from 46% in 2008).
3) Social media can play a critical role in the information-gathering process. The consequences of a major buy are high and purchasing agents use all available means to gather data on your company and product. They're going to Google the heck out of you. So why not help them and gain an edge by putting quality content everywhere — blogs, videos and social networking communities that can help your cause.
4) It can help build loyalty. Compared to impulsive B2C behaviors, there are probably fewer opportunities to influence direct sales through SM. However, that's just one piece of the sales pipeline. What about service? Technical support? Product development? Customer involvement and loyalty? I've been guilty of focusing too much on the lead-generating opportunities of social media and have not given enough credit to the other parts of the sales cycle.
5) Social media is a way to engage and inspire far-flung employees. Today, every employee can be your best sales advocate or a corporate terrorist. It has never been more important to enlist your employees and engage them through the power of social media. For example, Ingram Micro, the world's largest technology distributor, has open Facebook sites available by country so their employees can connect and collaborate. IBM, GE and others are actively engaging employees to tell their company story through this global Town Hall meeting.
6) If you don't engage, it will be done for you! My previous blog showed an example where Dow's name has been hijacked for several fake social media sites that pillory the company. Today, every customer can be a critic, every employee a reporter, every activist a broadcaster. Without an active voice in social media, your company will be defined by others.
Props: In the best spirit of social media, my enlightenment on this subject was nurtured by blogs and thought leaders such as Chris Brogan, Jamie Wallace, John Bottom, Nathan Egan, and Jason Falls . If you're interested in social media's impact on marketing, follow their tweets, blogs and insights.
How is your B2B company coping with the transition to this new world of "community?"
The writing's on the wall: An interview with Sharpie's Twitter Queen
Jun 2nd
A former newspaper reporter and PR counsel to Kraft, Honeywell, American Airlines and others, Susan Wassel now combines "traditional" with "new" as both PR and social media manager for Sharpie. This week, Susan and her company launched a new community website and social media strategy. Amid this chaos, she had time to talk to me about her social media job and challenges.
How did you become the Twitter Queen of Sharpie?
Like the rest of us, I was reading about the Twitter phenomenon and the opportunity it offered marketers to connect informally with their audiences. It also worked out that Twitter was a platform that seemed most successful when a "personality" was involved. Let's just say Twitter and I were a match made in heaven. I was lucky that lots of passionate Sharpie users were already Tweeting away and welcomed me into the conversation.
Does your company participate in other social media channels? Which seem to work best for your brand and why??
We just officially launched Sharpie's Facebook fan page and You Tube site. Both are part of a larger initiative to celebrate Sharpie's passionate users and the amazing things they create with our product. Our community channels are all housed on this new community site, http://www.sharpieuncapped.com/, along with a Sharpie gallery, a how-to video section, a virtual product test drive app, and of course the Sharpie blog, which I edit and which was our very first foray into social media.?
How do you measure the effectiveness of your Twitter-based promotional dialogue?
To date, we've only looked at number of followers, not because we didn't want to know more but because we didn't have the resources in place to dig deeper. The launch of our new community website includes an analytics initiative led by our agency Draftfcb that will take a closer look at some of our social media properties and Sharpie's share of voice overall in the social media sphere. While we'll get some fairly immediate feedback, we're looking at measurement over the course of 6 months to give us broader measure of Sharpie conversation over time.
Other than raising awareness for your brand, have there been other, unexpected benefits of your Twitter campaign?
Again, nothing quantitative yet but more anecdotal. I don't think it's a stretch to say that Twitterers in general love Sharpie. They often express how surprised and excited they are to see Sharpie on Twitter. Everybody seems to have a Sharpie story they want to share – whether it's a favorite color or a great idea about how to use Sharpies — from the Sharpie dress one sculptor sent me to the giant Sharpie-shaped birthday cake a fan made for a friend. People send me Twitpics of Sharpies on their desks at work, in their backpacks at art school, in the hands of celebrities at rock concerts and Broadway performances. It really is an amazing thing to see so many people so passionate about a little ol' marker!?????
How do you explain to mainstream management what you do and why you do it?
Mainstream management isn't so mainstream any more. I think you'd have to be living in a cave to have missed the social media movement and the power it can wield over brands. While not all execs have it figured out, they know it's big, they know it matters and they couldn't be more supportive of efforts at Sharpie to open a dialogue with our consumers and find out how we can continue to make them happy.
Everyone knows you are blatantly promoting a product … yet you remain so authentic and endearing! What advice do you have for others learning to promote their products through social media channels?
Ah, this is where the magic comes in. This is the part you can't buy at the store. I think that for the most part, the people today who have stepped up to the plate within corporations to commandeer social media are those with their own deep passion for the product. And it is that genuine passion that consumers connect with.?I use Sharpies, my family uses Sharpies, my friends, my relatives — who doesn't use Sharpies? There's just something about their shiny cigar-shaped barrels, the bold, brilliant colors, the bright and smooth way the ink lays down, that I love! Not a day goes by that I don't use them to label one of my kids' lunch bags or make a Christmas ornament with the cousins or create big loopy bubble letters on my daughter's 8th?grade graduation poster. So I have lots to of real-life Sharpie fodder for my Tweets. And then of course I always get off on these talk tangents. There is a group of us addicted to NPR, another caught up in the Jon & Kate crisis. It's not just all Sharpie all the time and I think that's important too.

Founded in 1989 by a small group of Nicaraguan women, this institution has remained true to its initial goal of providing its clients (90% of which are women) with an opportunity for economic growth, in addition to personal and professional empowerment.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Major Injury Accident at Plumb Lane and Plumas Street
Witnesses reported the female was driving at a high rate of speed and weaving around other vehicles. The female ran the red light at the intersection of Plumb Lane and Plumas Street and was struck by a 2003 PT Cruiser. As a result of the collision the Jeep lost its right rear tire and rolled several times. While it was rolling the Jeep struck a parked 1994 Ford Ranger and sent it into the front yard of a residence on Plumb Lane.
The female driver of the Jeep received a serious injury to her right hand so the Reno Police Department's Major Accident Investigation Team was called to the scene and took over the investigation. The driver of the PT Cruiser did not receive any injuries. This accident is still under investigation and at this time we are unsure if the female was experiencing a medical event prior to the incident.
Anyone having information relating to this accident should contact the Reno Police Department Major Accident Investigation Team at 775-745-0069, Secret Witness at 322-4900,www.secretwitness.com

Hey girls, I'm scheduled fo surgery with Dr Salama. I feel not prepared and lost. I have. So many questions and I hope you girls can help me out. I'm looking to book my flight since they are relatively chea at the moment but I'm not sure how long I should stay in Florida. I was going to travel w/ my fiance but it looks like my mother will be the one traveling with me. I was thinking 10-12 days or 2 weeks. I want to be healed with no drains, and since we purchase insurance from Dr Salama's office I would be able to use it in case anything happened. I'm coming from out of state. I was looking into garment from Lipo express, Salome and Fajate but there are so many choices. I'm getting inner knee lipo so I'm confused as to which I should purchase. Does anyone know what garment Salama uses? I don't want to ost wish pics because I feel everyones body is different.

Is anyone going to Dr Salama April 8, 2015 or around that time?
Hey girls I'm having surgery with Dr Salama April 9th 2015? I'm looking for places online to stay in. I was wondering if anyone would like to roomie with me? So far I have found a hotel rental with two beds, pool and a kitchen for cheap. It looks really clean and has good reviews. I was planning to stay at the recovery house but the cost is just not feasible at the moment. Please let me know I already booked for myself I just have an extra bed in the room.
Had Surgery w/Salama
Hey girls just wanted to update. I had surgery back in April with Salama it's going to be three months this week. First off let me say I didn't update sooner because I wasn't sure how my body was going to look in the end. I'm going to start by thanking the girls at Elite they were really nice while I was there especially Nomi and the massage therapist Celia and Eileen. Justin the driver was really nice and he's transportation service was great. Now to my results I must say my body looks better than before but I'm not exactly happy. I weighed 142.5 pounds going in I weigh now 143.6. Right after surgery your butt is huge and you can't really tell how your stomach is going to be. SAlama gave me hips and an ass. That I can't deny even though the right side on both hips and butt is less fuller than the other. And my ass is flat ass hell in the top, it looks ok I guess I have what you call a wide ass!! SMH Its noticeable because my coworkers pointed it out. The reason I got surgery was not for a huge ass. When I had my preop I expressed that I just wanted a flat stomach with some ass. Some girls get this surgery just for the ass but that was not me. Now this is the part I hate to say I hate my stomach!!! No I don't have lumps, I didn't have seromas, it's just fat!! My lower stomach has a pudge and still jiggles. I showed my doctor and it's not inflammation, I've had a total of 16 massages worn my fajas religiously but it's just fat!! Before surgery I bought clothes that I thought I would wear post op but that not happening. I don't know what happened because I wasn't big to begin with. I have leftover fat in my flanks and stomach. Maybe if I had been more vocal with the doctor but Im a shy person person. I've seen girls bigger than me come out with nicer results than me. I don't know what I'm going to do if I'm going to have a revision w/ Salama or just have full on lipo in my stomach and flanks. If anyone has advice please message me or leave a comment.
Hotel for Aventura/Salama
I forgot to add in my update where I stayed. I stood at the Curtis Inn in Aventura. I must say I was really surprised. The pics online are dated. I stayed at the bedroom suite with kitchen. I paid 554 for 9 days. It was super clean and brand new kitchen appliances since they just renovated. The supermarket is right across the street, a family dollar and a cuban restaurant. If you stay here you can actually take a cab to the office since it's super close.There's also a pool of you have kids.
I'm so mad!!!
This is ridiculous. I try to wear tight fitting clothes and you can tell where I wasn't lipoed right! My stomach is a goddamn mess flat in the top and fat in the bottom. I have so much left over fat in my love handles. I have seen bigger girls that went w/ my doc and abroad come out with better results. I have also noticed this in many of hes recent results . This was a rant. No reason why revisions should become a norm a round 2 should only be by choice. Buy now I'm forced to have a round 2 altogether. Not for a bigger butt but for some bad and unfinished lipo.
Round 2 with Duran
Hi ladies I've been gone for awhile but still lurking lol. I have decided to go for a round 2 with Duran. I had my round 1 with Salama overall I'm satisfied with what he did. I had no ass and he did give me that. I just hoped my stomach would've came out flatter. I know that in the US there are restrictions so I have chosen to travel overseas. My body is 1000 times better but I feel that with Duran I will get the flattest and tiniest waist my body allows. If anyone wants to buddy up I plan to go first or second week of January 2017. If you are on the East coast please hit me up.
Great doctor!

Three days after David Towers resigned as the principal at Waukesha West High School due to "personal reasons" a replacement was found.
Superintendent Todd Gray said Tuesday morning that David LaBorde, who last served as a principal at New Berlin West Middle and High School, has been hired as the interim principal at Waukesha West for the remainder of the year.
His first day was Tuesday.
Towers stunned the West community when he resigned last week from his position just a year and a half into his tenure.
In a letter to Waukesha West High School parents on Friday, Gray said Towers resigned for "personal reasons."
Gray said no other information on Towers' resignation will be released at this time.
Towers, 37, was hired before the 2011-12 school year after serving as an assistant and associate principal at Germantown High School for five years.
"(West) was the perfect fit," said Towers in an interview a week after being hired in August 2011.
He replaced Melissa Thompson, who left West to become superintendent for the Swallow School District in Merton.
Gray said Sara Behrendt, the district's director of curriculum for secondary education, will work closely with West administrative staff during the transition period.
With a background in teaching and athletics early in his career, Towers looked to enhance West's strong academic and athletic reputation.
While his stay at West was short, Towers did make some large changes to the school by implementing random breath tests at school dances last year due to what he described as poor decisions made by some students at the homecoming dance.
And at the start of this school year, he banned backpacks and purses for students between classes. It brought some initial backlash but Towers said it was for safety concerns.
The Waukesha School Board was scheduled to take up Towers' resignation at its School Board meeting Wednesday night. That meeting took place after this paper went to press.
"Mr. Towers offers his thanks and appreciation to the West High parents and community for your support over the last year and a half," Gray said.
The school also replaced Assistant Principal Todd Hencsik at the end of 2011-12 school year. He left West after four years to become a principal at a northern Illinois high school.
Towers could not be reached for comment. Online court records indicate that he and his wife, Tara, of Brookfield, filed for divorce Jan. 2.

"Or we can carry you." Irek says, walking in with Jev. "Jev insisted to carry Avaith and Mello to the Show... You can ask Flare to at least bring you over if you can survive getting up... Plus, its not a circus, its a play on the origin of Lethia. Just prepare your own seat if you get in." Jev walked by Kiba and Julia, looking over the basket containing Mello and Avaith. He poked Avaith to wake up and chuckled. "
Sorry Mello, but you walking grill asked for this.
" He started tugging at the bed. Irek takes a simple bow, chuckling. "Sorry to disturb you both...." The green pikachu takes his leave and takes notice to Entei, walking up towards him he takes a deep breath in and sighs. The show wasn't going to start yet, so he had some time to kill. Meanwhile, Jev was still tugging the bed containing Avaith and Mello towards the show. Avaith woke up due to the bed's movements. "
It's starting now?...

Not yet, it will momentarily.

Images of the Profession: Gudrun Baldvinsdottir, John Burns, Hanne Norreklit and Robert Scapens Report on Their Research into How Management Accounting Is Portrayed and Perceived
Baldvinsdottir, Gudrun, Burns, John, Norreklit, Hanne, Scapens, Robert, Financial Management (UK)
Traditional images of management accounting have tended to convey the message that the profession is rather boring--and that accountants are similarly dull. But in recent times there seems to have been a shift in the type of images being used.
The importance of image was highlighted in a debate surrounding an advertising campaign for an accounting software firm called Requisoft in 2004. Its adverts, which ran on the back cover of Financial Management for nine months, featured distinctive photos of a young woman dressed as a dominatrix and holding a whip in her teeth (pictured, left). The accompanying slogans included "Are you strict enough about your expenses?" and "Whip your expenses into shape".
The campaign hit a raw nerve for some readers: FM published four letters to the editor complaining that the adverts were offensive and demeaning to the profession. But views were mixed overall: although some correspondents said they would rip off the back cover before putting the magazine on display in their offices, others remarked that FM had taken a prominent place in their reception areas--face down.
This debate prompted us to explore the many and varied images connected with the profession in more depth. We believe that such images, along with the perceptions they conjure up, are important because they not only reflect, but also affect, the social identity of management accountants. We also believe that such images both reflect and affect the profession more generally. And, at a time when corporate scandals and the failure of businesses and markets are not uncommon, the social identity of management accountants is particularly important.
To research these issues, we examined the accounting software adverts that have appeared in CIMA's magazines over the past three decades or more. Although these adverts do not necessarily portray management accountants per se, they are aimed at the profession. We assumed that, since the aim of all these adverts is to encourage accountants to purchase the respective products in question, they reflect the roles and values of accountants.
During the seventies and eighties, software adverts portrayed management accountants as the people responsible for identifying the right information for business managers and for meeting their increasing need for information. In general, they claimed that accountants would be more successful if they were to buy such products.
Advertising images used in the nineties hinted that any accountants using the software would become more adventurous and more powerful--even daring and thrill-seeking. The accountant was portrayed as a kind of action hero rather than an analytical thinker. They also tended to show management accountants as successful business "leaders" who followed the best management practices that were embedded in the new software.
But we would particularly like to highlight the images that have been used since the turn of the millennium. The accounting software adverts in this decade--as well as recruitment adverts and web sites such as www.extreme-accounting.com--suggest that management accountants may need an image makeover.
Images of accounting in the noughties show sky-diving, mountain-climbing and other risky pursuits. They project a life that is exciting, where great heights and personal enjoyment can easily be achieved, using images of a hedonistic society. The dominatrix in the Requisoft campaign is one such image. The reaction of some FM readers to it disappointed those who want to shed the profession's dour reputation. But such a reaction is probably not unexpected: there are always some who do not want to change their identities and, for them, the Requisoft adverts were denigrating. Judging by the complaints, there are obviously some management accountants who want to protect their conservative image--ie, that of a person who is respectable, accountable and, in particular, non-seducible. …

10:00 a.m., Room 6A - "After Earth"
While Fox as a whole skipped this year, one of their big hopes for next summer, M. Night Shyamalan's "After Earth," will have a presence, albeit a low-key one. Neither the director nor stars Will and Jaden Smith will be there, but screenwriter Gary Whitta will host a panel that promises to focus as much, if not more, on the comic-book spin-offs and prequel novels that will precede the apocalyptic sci-fi film's release. Here's hoping there'll be some kind of footage regardless.
11:30 a.m., Hall H - "Django Unchained"
A movie-centric day in Hall H gets underway with a hotly-anticipated panel for Quentin Tarantino's latest. The director and unconfirmed cast members will be there -- we'd wager Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz, but probably no Leonardo DiCaprio -- and the footage is promised to be exclusive, so it won't be the same stuff that screened at Cannes. Even if it was, it's sure to be pretty entertaining.
Relative newcomers Open Road must be hoping that fans staying in Hall H to ensure seats for later on will be won over by what they have to show, as they're not exactly bringing out the heaviest hitters of the weekend. The company will have footage from two fall releases: promising semi-found-footage cop movie "End of Watch" with Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena (who'll both be there), and "Silent Hill: Revelation," the belated and unnecessary 3D sequel to the video game adaptation. Maybe director Michael Bassett can whip up the crowd for the latter, although the absence of his star, "Game of Thrones" actor Kit Harington (sidelined after breaking his ankle) won't help.
1:00 p.m., Room 7AB - A Conversation With Bryan Fuller
A smaller-scale panel that could be a pretty interesting hour, Bryan Fuller is a talented veteran TV writer ("Dead Like Me," "Pushing Daisies" among others) who's having a bit of a moment of late -- he's behind two of the more intriguing TV projects out there right now, 'Munsters' semi-reboot "Mockingbird Lane" with Eddie Izzard, and "Silence of the Lambs"-inspired "Hannibal," with Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen as Lecter. Fuller's also writing "Pinocchio" for Tim Burton and Robert Downey Jr., and might end up spilling some beans on that project.
Probably the biggest ticket of the weekend, this sees Warners eschewing the chance for a last minute push for "The Dark Knight Rises" (like it needs it) in favor of the first look anywhere at next summer's big superhero film, Superman reboot "Man of Steel." We'd expect director Zack Snyder and star Henry Cavill to be there, but not executive producer Christopher Nolan. Elsewhere, Comic-Con vet Peter Jackson will be bringing new footage from "The Hobbit," and Guillermo del Toro will unveil his massive blockbuster "Pacific Rim" -- expect footage from that, as well as more than a few motherfuckers from the potty-mouthed Mr. del Toro. Rumors have also been flying that the "Godzilla" reboot from "Monsters" director Gareth Edwards will be there in some form, and given that the panel is scheduled to last a whopping two and a half hours, we wouldn't be surprised if there were more surprises in store too. "Cloud Atlas" seems to be a good bet, and we could see some kind of DC Comics announcement too..."Justice League" would be sure to bring down the house...
With a handy hour-long gap for fans to change their underoos, things pick up again with the Marvel panel. The only thing officially announced to date is "Iron Man 3," which having been filming for a few months now is certain to debut some kind of sizzle reel, but it's widely expected that the studio will be announcing some of their post-'Avengers' plans, so expect news on "Thor" and "Captain America" sequels, "Ant-Man," "Guardians of the Galaxy" and whatever else may be up their sleeves too.
7:15 p.m., Hall H - Kevin Smith
Film-director-turned-full-time-self-publicist Kevin Smith is another Comic-Con staple, and if there's one man with an ego healthy enough to follow Superman, Godzilla and Iron Man, it's him. He'll be hosting a Q&A, where he'll be sure to take tough questions like "Why are you so great?" and "How did you become so great?"

Does a fine job...
This review is from: inland HDTV(16:9) ProHT 84" Electric Projection Screen 05354
Pros: The screen performance is great. I don't have calibration equipment to determine if the gain is exactly as defined by the manufacturer, or how well these compare to other products, but I'm happy with the performance. The motor is quiet and smooth. It takes about 20-30 seconds for the screen to extend or retract fully (not a big deal for how it's used). Having the screens housed in a white case was important for me, and I was glad to find these at a good price. The RF remote is also a great asset, since the operator sits about 60 feet away from the screen, and he/she can easily extend or retract it with the push of a button.
Cons: One (out of 2) of the screens has a small crease in the lower left corner. These screens are used in a church to display text, pictures, and video, and while the crease does distort the picture slightly, it is not detrimental for the screen's application (and not worth the hassle of repackaging, RMA, waiting for a replacement, and re-installing). If I were using it in my home, as a primary screen to watch tv/movies, I would've likely replaced it, however the second screen has no issues.
Other Thoughts: I bought 2 of these to add a projection system to our church, on a tight budget, and we've been using them for about 6 months now. These were inexpensive, compared to similar products, and I was intrigued by the motorized operation (although a little skeptical about the quality). Finding screens in a white casing was also surprisingly more challenging than I expected. They arrived on time, and the boxes they shipped in seemed to protect them fine. After unboxing, I did notice that one had a small dent in the case, but these were going to be mounted 12-15 feet high, and no one would see a minor blemish like that. I didn't discover the crease on one of the screens until after it was installed. It's a gentle crease, about a foot long, but it does distort the image slightly over the crease. After about 6 months of use, the crease is still evident; however it does seem to have flattened out some. The screens were easy to install, but the cap that's meant to cover the mounting screws doesn't seem to fit correctly. We left them off since it's really not noticeable, but still slightly frustrating. Overall, I'm very satisfied with their performance. There are a few things that could be improved with a little better quality control, but for the price, I can't complain.

Awesome cosplay and photo
Awesome, this photo shot is kinda magical >_<
Seriously, I usually HATE Shiro's cosplays, because I think they all look awful. You are the ONLY one who actually makes a good Shiro!! You pay great attention to the poses and the expressions to look just like her, and the result is the best I've seen so far (and BY far) Composition is also very good, you got an excellent photographer. In short: GREAT JOB!
O__O WOW, I'm very glad to read your comment Thank you very much
This shot is amazing! :3

Watch it man there's a beverage here!
That's 3 really ugly offensive outputs in a row hope they don't get healthy next week
The Huskers offense is absolutely terrible. Looks like in their striving to get the Defense back to Blackshirt stature, they forgot you have to score points to win games. Hopefully they have at least one more week of bad production.
Will the true freshman make his first start next week?

I hope not, I hate our history against back ups
I put Nebraska in the ripe for picking category a couple days ago when I heard an interview with a former player alerting the audience to watch for the trick plays this week. Osborne used to run trick plays to rub salt in the wound on blowouts. Pelini is turning to them in desperation to jump start his spurting offense. He would not have spent time this past week on trick plays if he truly believed that they could line up and play TT head to head. Last year's close score against Tech was a fluke as Tech averaged around 3 yards per play more than NE.
