Local Flavor
By dragonfly on Feb 14, 2009
The scent isn't terrible, but it can be strong. Out of curiosity, my wife bought a package of Weetabix, as can be seen in the picture. The package calls it a biscuit, and it claims to be organic. It has a delicate, almost nutty taste, and tends to crumble easily. I haven't spent much time investigating what the common ways of eating it are, but my youngest has enjoyed it crumbled with milk, by itself or added to other cereal. I have tried it, and while it is tasty, I think it would be better with something else. I hope to have more time to play with cooking once we are move in and get settled, and I can see potential for Weetabix. Till then, it's a tasty snack for home, as it doesn't seem like it would travel well short of being dust. \^_\^

Dvd Release Date: 2005-08-02
Genre: Drama,
Rating: R
Duration: 2hrs 34min
In the dead of a November night in 1942, SS officers through the woods escort a group of young women to Wolf's Lair, Hitler's headquarters in Eastern Prussia. They are candidates for the post of personal secretary to the Fuehrer. Among them is 22-year-old Traudl Junge, a fresh-faced girl from Munich. Traudl is chosen for the job and she is overcome with joy at the thought of serving beside her Fuehrer. BERLIN, APRIL 20, 1945: Hitler has retreated to a bunker system under the German Chancellery. Traudl Junge is asleep in her room, deep beneath the ground. She is awakened by tremors from artillery fire. The enemy is getting closer. Charting the last 10 days of Hitler's life, from his 56th birthday on April 20th, 1945 to his suicide on April 30th, the film uses multiple characters to show the chaos of a country coming apart at the seams, from Hitler's henchman under the streets of Berlin, to the soldiers and civilians fighting and dying as the Soviet Army ravaged the city above.

Local state board of education member responds to Ritz lawsuit
ELKHART — It's been one week since state superintendent of public instruction Glenda Ritz filed suit against the 10 members of the state board of education.
Ritz said in a statement that board members allegedly violated Indiana's Open Door Law when they sent a letter to Republican leaders asking for another agency to determine the 2012-13 school letter grades. She said that she didn't know the letter was being sent.
But on Tuesday, Oct. 29, one member of the board said that Ritz was included in talks about having another agency determine the grades.
David Freitas, a professor at Indiana University South Bend and a member of the state board of education for the Elkhart area, said Tuesday that Ritz supported the board's decision to ask for help with the A-F grades.
"There was no secret meeting, like she claims," Freitas said. "(Ritz) thought she wasn't included, and that's why she filed the lawsuit, but there's video of her at the last public meeting talking about (the issue) and she supported it."
He continued, "Whether a letter was sent without her knowledge or not is not really the issue. I hope she is not hanging her entire lawsuit on a technicality."
Freitas is one of four members of the board who sent a letter to Ritz last Friday, Oct. 25, asking her to drop the lawsuit.
"The letter was sent last Friday, but we haven't heard back (from Ritz)," Freitas said.
In the meantime, Freitas said that he's hearing a lot of feedback from Indiana citizens about the education issues in the state.
"Right now, the huge issue is the A-F accountability system," Freitas said. "By law, we (the state board of education) have to make a decision on the system before Nov. 15. That's probably the most pressing issue."
He continued, "The second issue is ... whether Indiana is going to adopt the Common Core or not. That decision will come in several months."
Freitas said that 80 percent of the letters and emails he is getting now have to do with the Common Core.
"My correspondence is running about eight to one against the Common Core," Freitas said. "This is correspondence from citizens in Indiana, and some from outside of Indiana. They look like they are organized, frankly. It's a concerted effort."
He said that the people he has heard from are against the Common Core for several reasons.
Some are concerned that the federal government will use the Common Core to collect information about students, and students' parents, through the public school system, he said.
Another issue that Freitas said he has heard primarily from teachers is that the actual standards of the Common Core may not be developmentally appropriate.
"Teachers are concerned that (the Common Core standards) are too difficult (for students), especially for the elementary grades," Freitas said.
A third concern, he said, is from people who think that Indiana already has some of the best standards in the nation, and there's no need to change to a new system.
Freitas said he has not made a decision on whether Indiana should adopt the Common Core. He will wait to hear testimonies from citizens during public hearings in March.
Timeline of events since Ritz announced a lawsuit against members of the state board of education on Tuesday, Oct. 22:
* Oct. 24: Greg Zoeller, Ind. attorney general, filed a motion to strike Ritz's lawsuit, saying that the representation of Ritz's legal interests are in his hands as the state attorney general.
* Oct. 24: Ritz issues a statement saying that she will continue to pursue the lawsuit, although she is open to settling out of court.
* Oct. 25: Four state board of education members, including Elkhart-area member David Freitas, ask that Ritz drop her lawsuit.

With many companies trying to shake off the drag of a global recession, CEOs and business leaders are eager to find growth opportunities. One place they need to look is in optimizing their own sales organization. Unfortunately, too few companies are willing to reorganize or reengineer their own sales processes for fear of disrupting business as usual; especially as the economy begins to recover and sales begin to improve. In addition, according to extensive sales effectiveness research, it's not clear that top level decision makers that are making changes are shifting fast enough to modify their sales model to meet current demands of today's buying patterns. What we do know is that CEOs and leaders who put sales management at the heart of their agenda have captured astonishing growth — outperforming their peers by 50 to 80 percent in terms of revenue and profitability according to a Harvard Business Review (2012).
Unfortunately, sales managers and sales people are not prepared for a changing model in the new economy and ever changing buying landscape. In fact, according to the Sales Executive Council (2010), 65 percent of the sales people say that their managers are not equipped to handle the shifting sales environment to effectively guide and train them. According to a Harvard Business Review, of the $20+ billion that U.S. companies spend training their sales forces every year, very little gets directed towards sales managers to support their growth initiatives. In many firms, revenue growth targets are not being met, a large percentage of sales people are not proficient at qualifying or prioritizing opportunities, and the foundations of account planning are not being routinely executed. Sales systems and methodologies are not being leveraged consistently, even though it's widely recognized that the use of a formal sales process improves performance. Even more concerning, sales forces cannot effectively map the sales process to the customer's buying patterns, despite the fact that clients are often vocal about what they need.
Here's the scary truth and why all sales organizations and managers should care: according to a recent independent research study, "approximately 30% of the time, the winner of the sales cycle was determined before the "official" selection process even started. Another 45% of the time, customers had already made up their minds about whom they were going to buy from about halfway through the process. That means that 75% of the time, customers made their decision halfway through the process. Only 25% of the time did customers make their final decision at the end of the selection process (Martin)." In other words, if you are not clearly in the lead at the midpoint of the sales process, the odds are that you are going to lose the business.
Here's how you can get ahead of your competitors and overcome the threat of low sales performance and increase your deal conversions:
- Assess your sales organization to find the gaps and low performing areas – businesses that do this are able to optimize the sales organization and focus on making incremental improvements.
- Map out your sales process and create a systematic, formal process that can be institutionalized across the organization – this has been proven to increase conversions by 20% across the organization on average (HBR Sales Effectiveness 2012).
- Understand each sales persons' traits to learn if they have a TOP SALES TALENT personality – do you know if your team has sales characteristic deficiencies? If not, this is CRITICAL to your optimizing your sales organizations success.
- Determine if a training program will improve sales performance – Look for sales training that teaches strategies to incorporate the entire sales funnel effectiveness, from lead to conversion – most companies are only focusing on one or two areas, if any, and are leaving money on the table. If you don't have a sales training program click here to get a 14 Day Free Trial with three complimentary coaching sessions by a certified Mastery Level Coaches to help you assess your sales organization and training initiatives.
Finally, research shows that "companies with stronger client relationships and a dynamic sales process significantly outperformed peers. For instance, top performers—those with a more strategic or trusted partner relationship with accounts and a formal, dynamic sales process and training — had 20 percent more of their sales force attaining quotas and were 17 percent closer to attaining their company's sales plan than their peers that lacked these strategies" (HBR.org Sales Effectiveness 2012). As the economy begins to rebound, now is the time to super-charge your sales results and look for areas to optimize.

The 2012 Hurricane Season is upon us and yet we have not even noticed. As the Yucatan is getting soaked tonight and battered by 85 mile per hour winds, maybe it could be the time for us to review our own plans. OK, so you aren't reading this when I wrote it, but instead now as the storm approaches us. No matter, you are here now so lets get thinking about what we plan to do.
It wasn't too long ago that I moved to Florida and picked up one of those handy Hurricane Preparedness guides from a local chain of grocery stores, and got the one from the local TV station, then the one in the Miami Beach magazine, then the one I picked up from the library, then the TV telling me everything I NEEDED to do. You get the point, everyone is telling you something different, and yet similar all at the same time.
"You are all trying to sell me stuff, what do I really need to do?"-George Houck IV
Pet owners in the media grinding on you to have a month of flea treatments, home owners telling you about roof inspections, landscapers telling you to cut down all those coconuts, and thin out your canopy, then the green people explaining to you how you did it wrong and now when your tree grows back the canopy will be too thick and you are going to kill the tree with your ignorance. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!! You are all trying to sell me stuff, what do I really need to do?
What do I need to do was my question, not what a family of 6 with 3 pets, a boat, a huge yard, and a roof that needs inspected needs to do. I live in Miami Beach in a tiny apartment with my wife and a cat. NO BOAT, NO ROOF, NO CANOPY, just tell me what me and my neighbors need to know: like the fact we are on a barrier island, have car we don't want to get flooded out, and most likely you're going to force us to leave anyway.
With this in mind can we please dispense with the bull and get down to brass tacks.
Getting on with my life
Obviously this is going to get long, so we will break it down over multiple installments in an easy-to-read format. First up, let's talk about the things we should have in the house already. This is where most of us make our mistakes. Due to the fact we are Miami Beach, our initial installments will assume we are a couple with a pet. In the 24 units in sight of my window, maybe three do not have pets, so welcome to the South Beach Hurricane Preparedness series.

Sometimes when the power goes out and the UPS dies before it goes back on, some services on our servers don't come back up. Namely some VMware virtual machines.
I was thinking of setting up a monitoring service that will attempt to start the VMs each five minutes if they aren't running, but since the vmrun command from VMware requires a username and a password, how can I make this secure?

When making plans for Thailand, everyone dreams of escaping to a tropical paradise, but deciding exactly where to go can be an overwhelming task. Here's a quick and easy guide to the Islands of Thailand to help make all your dreams come true!
Best Overall for Everyone - Koh Samui wins in this category, not because it's my personal favorite, but because of the long uninterrupted, sandy beach and the warm, swimmable waters. People of all ages will enjoy what Koh Samui has to offer - whether you're on your honeymoon or with your family. Anyone will relish soaking up some rays and taking leisurely strolls on Chaweng Beach, also perfect for an uninterrupted 30 minute run, particularly nice at sunrise. If it's nightlife you're after Chaweng has plenty of clubs and bars to keep you occupied until dawn. Foodies will only have a hard time deciding between Six Senses, Koh, Rocky's, Dr. Frogs, Conrad's or Zazen. With upmarket hotels like the W and Banyan Tree the only problem with fine dining is having enough time to hit all the hot spots. The seafood is always fresh and the traditional Thai paired with international cuisine is sure to please all palates. Enjoy local favorite cocktails like Singapore Slings or Mai Tais made with fresh juices. If you've been traveling a while you'll certainly appreciate the selection of fine wine in the area, unlike other islands that may only carry boxed wine.
Do not miss - Chaweng Night Market on Mondays for street food and the Walking Street at Fisherman's Village, Bophut on Friday nights.
Best for Travelers, Best Parties, Best for Yoga - Koh Phangan - Popular with backpacker style travellers and hippies, my personal favorite Thai Island wins in many categories and has a Yin/Yang quality to it. On one hand it has a chill, relaxed, laid back vibe so it's the perfect place to revitalize your spirit through Yoga classes at one of the many shalas on the Western side of the island. If you're looking to get your party face on - there's a party for every moon of the month, the most famous being the Full Moon party where 30k people gather on Haad Rin Beach and dance from 10pm - 6am while slurping "buckets" - literally plastic sand pails full of various liquors and Red Bull. As if that's not enough, there's always the Half Moon Party, the Black Moon Party, the Shiva Moon Party and the Waterfall Party...pretty much any excuse to make a party happen! Even if big parties are not your scene it's worth seeing just once in your life. For Full Moon Party schedules check out http://fullmoonparty-thailand.com/
Do Not Miss - Take a water taxi over to Bottle Beach on the North side of the island for an afternoon of quiet relaxation and Thai Massage right on the beach. Ang Thong National Marine Park which can also be done from Koh Samui is the perfect way to spend a day snorkelling, kayaking or simply lounging on desolate beaches.
Best for Diving - Koh Tao (Turtle Island) With it's crystalline waters, brightly colored fish and it's reasonably priced certification courses, divers from all over the world come here to explore coral reefs, impressive rock formations and even shipwrecks. There are about 50 dive shops to choose from on this small island. Even beginners can get certified in PADI or SSI. Take in a 3-day course for much less than you would in other more populated global dive destinations.
Best Geological Features - Koh Phi Phi While the main town on Phi Phi Island is known for it's Spring Break-esque college-age revelry, complete with fully dressed monkeys, jump ropes made of fire and thumping bass lines until sunrise - for quintessential beach photos and dramatic scenery head to this island if only to take a day trip out on a boat. Why? If you've ever seen the movie The Beach featuring Leonardo DiCaprio you'll know why. Turquoise waters of varying shades, rock formations jetting 100 metres into the sky, deep coves and inlets perfect for snorkelling and kayaking. It's exactly what you think of when you here the words "tropical paradise."
Do not miss - Maya Bay Any day long boat trip includes this on it's itinerary; after all, this is where The Beach was filmed.
Best for Hidden Gems - Phuket Old Town. If you're heading to Phuket, escape the crowds of Patong Beach and plan to spend at least a day exploring this historical Portuguese town. Surprisingly, some of the best food in Thailand can be found here. Many art shops, galleries, and boutiques are popping up and while it's not evident, these places can be discovered by a willingness to explore. There's definitely something happening here. A hip, trendy scene is slowly unfolding and if you go now, you're sure to find something to your liking. Trust me, give your sunburn a rest and take in a little culture. It's worth skipping a beach day.
Do not miss - yellow crab curry at Raya Restaurant...just don't! Ao Phang Nga National Park also called James Bond Island is worth braving the crowds. Again, another movie set and for good reason - dramatic rocks, a floating village and miles of mangroves make for a lovely, albeit long day.

Many fans of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" were surprised when it was revealed that Kyle Richards, Brandi Glanville and Camille Grammer stopped by Lisa Vanderpump's new PUMP lounge one recent weekend. In an interview with Radar Online, posted on Tuesday, June 9, Kyle explained how they ended up at Lisa's new place.
PUMP would seem to be the last place that Kyle and especially Brandi would go to considering all of the drama that went down between them and Lisa on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" last season. Kyle's friendship with Lisa suffered after Lisa was accused of spreading the tabloid story that Kyle's husband, Mauricio Umansky, was a cheater. While Kyle maintained that she wants to be friends with Lisa, Lisa ultimately didn't believe that Kyle was a loyal friend. Lisa instead believed that Kyle had joined the other housewives in ganging up on her.
As for Lisa's friendship with Brandi, it was practically destroyed. Brandi accused Lisa of using her to promote her spin-off "Vanderpump Rules" and told her that she won't be her puppet anymore. Brandi's comments about Lisa on her podcast radio show, that she and her husband, Ken Todd, were going to file for bankruptcy once and used to lived in Calabasas, certainly didn't help things.
So how did Kyle, Brandi and Camille, who never seemed to be close to Lisa while she was on the show, end up at PUMP? According to Kyle, it was all just an accident. She said that they were actually going to go to another establishment, the Abbey, but the car dropped them off in front of PUMP instead. She wanted to see it so they all went inside.
Kyle also explains why she was a no-show at Lisa's opening party for PUMP. She said that she was invited but didn't go because she was going to attend the NBCUniversal upfronts the next day and didn't want to leave her kids that much. She added that she thought that PUMP was beautiful.
So it seems that there's still hope for Kyle Richards' friendship with Lisa Vanderpump, if Lisa returns, on the next season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Whether Brandi Glanville can go from being an enemy to a friend with Lisa is another matter.

Recently I become more and more interested in the field of ergodic theory, especially in the dimension theory and thermal formalism and its applications.
People always said that most of the ideas in measurable dynamics system comes from the theory of ordinary differential equation. But when I began to find the topics of ergodic theory approach into differential equation, I find there are few books directed related to it. I know there are many books discuss about the differential dynamics system (such as hyperbolic theory), however most of the books did not include the ergodic theory approach.
Are there good books and papers strongly recommend? thanks in advance.

Match Notes | Live Stats | Live Streaming | Twitter Updates (@NIUscores) DeKALB, Ill. – The Northern Illinois volleyball team comes back to DeKalb Tuesday when they take on the Northern Iowa Panthers inside Victor E. Court. The match between the Huskies and Panthers is schedule to start at 7 p.m. "Again, we welcome one of the nation's top programs to Victor E. Court," said NIU Head Coach Ray Gooden about Tuesday's contest with the Panthers. "They are always well-coached and talented, so we are looking to improve on our level of consistency." NIU returns home after going 1-2 at the NM State Tournament, with a win against Southern Utah sandwiched between losses to UALR and New Mexico State. Senior Justine Schepler was named to the all-tournament team after accumulating 61 digs in the three matches, including a career-high 25 Friday night in the win over the Thunderbirds. As a team, the Huskies notched 93 digs. The Huskies trail the all-time series with Northern Iowa, 8-6. The last matchup between the two squads came last year in Cedar Falls with UNI defeating NIU, 3-1. Both sides have had plenty of success the past three seasons, as the two programs have collected 175 wins since the beginning of the 2010 season. Scouting Northern IowaNorthern Iowa comes into Tuesday's match with a 6-4 record and a five-match winning streak. This past weekend, the Panthers earned a 3-2 road win against Saint Louis, following by a doubleheader sweep of Green Bay. Of UNI's four losses on the year, two came in five sets against current Top 25 teams Iowa State and Wisconsin. Individually, the Panthers have four players averaging 2.00 kills/set or more, including seniors Shelby Kintzel (2.82 kills/set) and Macy Ubben (2.69). On defense, Courtney Kintzel paces the Panthers with 1.33 blocks/set, while Amie Held sports a 4.08 digs/set mark. Schepler Gets All-Tournament Team NodSenior Justine Schepler was named to the all-tournament team at this past weekend's NM State Tournament. The Sycamore, Ill., native collected 61 digs in the three matches, including a career-high 25 against Southern Utah. Leading the PackNIU seniors Sarah Angelos and Justine Schepler both rank among the NCAA's active career statistical leaders. Currently, Angelos is second in the nation in sets played (434), tied for ninth in matches played (116), 24th in hitting percentage (.325) and 40th in kills (1,033), while ranking first in the MAC all categories but kills. Meanwhile, Schepler is tied for 11th nationally and second in the conference in matches played with 115. Can You Dig It?In their contest against Southern Utah on Sept. 13, the Huskies totaled 93 digs in a 3-2 win against the Thunderbirds. That mark is the most NIU has had in a single match since Oct. 28, 2011, when they compiled 101 against Eastern Michigan. Home Cookin'The 2013 non-conference schedule is quite an interesting one for the Huskies. Of the 14 matches outside of MAC play, 11 have taken place in Victor E. Court. Additionally, two of NIU's three matches at the NM State Tournament are considered neutral site matches, meaning that the Huskies will have had only one true road match by the time conference play starts on Sept. 26. Down to the WireThrough 10 matches so far this season, the Huskies have not been involved in many one-sided matches. Entering Tuesday's tilt with Northern Iowa, the Huskies have won 20 sets, while their opponents have won 22. Similarly, NIU has scored 899 points in 42 sets compared to 903 for the opposition. Those close numbers also lend credence to the fact that only two of the 10 matches this season have been settled in three sets. Going The DistanceThe Huskies have proven to be quite successful this season when it comes to five-set matches. Of the four contests that have gone the full length, NIU holds a 3-1 record in those contests, defeating Green Bay (Aug. 30), Western Illinois (Sept. 4) and Southern Utah (Sept. 13). The Huskies' only loss in a five-set match came against nationally-ranked Ohio State in the NIU Invitational. Returning the FavorThrough 10 matches and 42 sets played, the Huskies have been solid in serve receiving. NIU has a .952 reception percentage and his holding opponents to less than one ace per set. The Huskies have held four opponents to one ace/set or less this year, including limiting USC - a team that averaged 2.1 aces/set entering the contest - to four over four sets. Angelos Scores 1,000th KillSenior middle blocker Sarah Angelos put her name into the NIU record books once again Saturday night against Belmont by scoring her 1,000th career kill. The Waukegan, Ill., native becomes the 20th player in program history to reach that mark. Additionally, Angelos still sits second in program history with a .325 hitting percentage, trailing only NIU Athletics Hall of Famer Cathy Holmes (.339). Gooden PlentyIn his 12th season as NIU head coach, Ray Gooden is now the longest-tenured coach in NIU Volleyball history. A three-time MAC Coach of the Year, Gooden has led the Huskies to three consecutive 20-win seasons and has guided the team to the last three MAC Tournament title matches. The program's second all-time wins leader owns a respectable 210-156 record at NIU, including a 102-77 mark in MAC play and an impressive 125-61 tally at home. Additionally, Gooden has coached 25 All-MAC, 19 Academic All-MAC, six MAC All-Freshman and five MAC Player of the Year selections, along with the only seven All-American selections in program history. Six players have also reached the 1,000-kill plateau under Gooden. Up Next...Northern Illinois closes out their non-conference schedule Friday and Saturday when they host the Huskie Invitational. NIU plays George Washington and IPFW on Friday, then closes the tournament Saturday morning against Oakland.

Think about it. Life insurance IS like a parachute. If you don't have one when you need it, chances are you won't need one again. You don't get a do-over if you're dead. Your life insurance "parachute" replaces your income. It can continue your family's lifestyle, keep your kids in their schools with their friends, even provide funds for college and retirement. Got a policy? Great! At least your family will have some protection if you suddenly become room temperature. But what about your spouse?
If your spouse is working outside the home, chances are that there is some employer-provided coverage. Not much, but some. But if your spouse is a stay-at-home mom or dad, have you considered the possible devastation of his or her death? Sure, there's no income to replace. However, there still is an enormous financial benefit that must be replaced. Do you hire a nanny? A maid service? A chauffeur? A personal grocery shopper? No, you say. You can do it yourself, you say. Does your job allow for extended periods of time away to deal with these issues? And let's not forget the cost of raising a child. According to CNNMoney (http://money.cnn.com/2014/08/18/pf/child-cost), the cost of raising a child born in 2014 is estimated at $245,000!
Steve Scalici, writing for CBN.com (http://www.cbn.com/finance/scalici_spouseinsurance.aspx) tells the story of John, a 39-year old small business owner whose wife was killed by a drunk driver. John was a smart businessman and a loving father to his 2 children. However, he made a terrible mother. He couldn't be there for his kids when they got out of school. With no supervision, the kids began making wrong choices, forcing John to move his business into his home. Unfortunately, he couldn't focus full-time on both his business and his kids, and, realizing this, gave up his business for 3 years in order to give his kids the attention they warranted. The good news is that John had enough savings to allow him to do this. The bad news is that he went through virtually all of it, which created financial havoc. Eventually, he re-opened his business, and is regrouping.
Had John's wife had her own life insurance parachute, John could have protected his children's quality of life, perhaps provided for someone to be in the home for them, to help them adjust. His savings would have remained protected, and he could have continued with his business. By being there for them, some of the problems may have been eliminated. With no spousal coverage, John had to spend down his savings, forego his business, and drastically change his family's way of life for 3 years.
Consider the financial hardship the death of your spouse would cause. Don't ever think for a moment this can't happen to you, because if it does, will you be prepared? Make sure the mother or father of your children is sufficiently covered.

Enyang Old Town is a local-style dwelling community extremely with characters in Chuanbei. The earliest organizational system of Enyang can be traced back to the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. During the reign of Emperor Liangwu, Yiyang County was built here,
Enyang Old Town was changed into Enyang County in the third year of Sui Dynasty (583 A.D.)It is said that there are two versions about the change from Enyang Old Town to Enyang County. One saying goes that local official witnessed an unworthy grandson beating up his old grandmother on the street, and he thought there were no human relations in Enyang Old Town, so he changed Enyang Old Town to Enyang County. Another saying goes that after Sui Dynasty having unified China, the government changed Yiyang prefecture to Enyang County in order that people in remote Da Bashan can remember the imperial favor.

Confusing, mysterious and interesting are just some of the words used to describe the Curl Secret, Conair's newest advancement in professional hair styling hot tools. An unusually shaped tool, this revolutionary styler promises to take the guess work out of curling your hair. Unlike traditional hot tools, the Curl Secret twirls hair into a hidden compartment and curls hair without effort. While the process may seem simple, many are left wondering if the tool actually lives up to its hefty promises. I put this innovative tool to the test and found that this remarkable hairstyling tool professionally curls hair with ease and delivers lasting results.
The creative design of the Curl Secret is what sets this styler apart from the rest. Hidden in the compartment is a small barrel curler that spins hair into a perfectly spiraled curl upon closer. Constructed with tourmaline ceramic technology, hair will be protected against harsh damage and left more shiny and smooth. While there is an art to use this revolutionary hot tool, the Curl Secret can be mastered by all.
Like all great hot styling tools, the Secret Curl allows two heat settings and three timer settings which allows hair to set in loose waves, medium curls or tight spirals. Not only does this phenomenal hair tool make for a more and professional curl throughout hair but curls maintain their shape long after their initial setting.
How It Works
First time users often times find themselves in a painful, tangled mess when they using the Curl Secret simply due to incorrect use. It is suggested to use half to one inch sections for shorter lengths and even smaller sections for those with longer hair. If too much hair is set in the tool or if hair is haphazardly set in the small area provided, hair will be pulled into the compartment in similar manner.
Part hair in even sections and work your way from one area to the next. Sectioned hair can allow you to properly set hair in the tool and will avoid tangles or mistakes. I advise first time users to start with a small piece of hair at the bottom of your hair. It will help you get a hang of the tool and test out which curl setting you like best.
Once a collection of hair is aligned and the Curl Secret is closed, hair is neatly wrapped around the hidden barrel in the curl compartment and quietly goes to work. After a notable pattern of beeps are alerted, the curl is ready to be released from the tool. Each curl matches the one prior and makes for an even, perfectly curled hair style.
As someone who has long, thick wavy hair, my curls lasted for four days. I opted for the tight spiral curls and feed a fourth of an inch section of hair through the tool. The result was a full, voluminous look of uniform curls. Each one was perfectly spiraled and smooth. Due to my hair type and length, the process was quire time consuming. However, the results were lasting, manageable and looked lovely.
Not only is this look great for free flowing hairstyles but also makes for the perfect companion hot tool when you want a more styled up-do. The hair retained the shape and offered a more glamorous look when pinned into a pulled back hair style. Overall, I highly recommend this tool for all hair enthusiasts. With a little practice this innovative tool is a must for any girl that loves the curly look. You hair will always look glamorous and professionally done. If this tool offered a larger barrel, my collection of curling irons would significantly lessen.
Would you give this remarkably stylish and innovative hot tool a spin?

The new conceptual renderings for the Royal Connaught keep on rolling in! On Wednesday, a concept drawing of a proposed redevelopment of the Royal Connaught surfaced on CHML's website shortly after Bob Bratina announced on the Bill Kelly Show that work would begin on the Connaught this fall.
The concept drawing has been roundly criticized since it appeared. It really is hideous, but we've seen a number of concepts for the Connaught in the past few years- maybe we don't have to worry too much about a concept drawing looking like the final product. Let's hope they don't actually plan to cover the ornate east side of the Connaught with the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
As it turns out, it may be altogether premature to make any big announcements. One would wonder if Mayor Bratina's announcement was just intended to distract from the past week's other heritage controversies.
On Friday, the Spectator's political cartoonist, Graeme MacKay published the original "Do It Your Self Royal Connaught Redesign" cartoon. Not surprisingly, a number of sarcastic local designers took Mr. MacKay up on this probably-unintended photoshop challenge. Enjoy.Got your own far-out idea for the Connaught redevelopment?

Choosing a Card for Your Small Business
The use of credit cards has become an important part of managing a small business. Unlike large corporations, small businesses typically don't have a large reserve of cash on hand. Expenses occur at a regular rate (with some surprises, of course). But, income often comes in sporadically. The use of a business credit card can be a real lifesaver to help small business owners smooth out cash flow issues.
What to Consider when Applying for a Business Credit Card
There are many things to consider when choosing between small business credit cards. When choosing a business credit card, one of the best things you can do is get a summary of all the features each card offers and compare them side by side. You can do this by collecting brochures from each company, but there are websites you can access which compare major credit cards and shorten the time it takes for you to gather this information.
Interest Rate or APR
Once you have a summary of all the offers you are considering, it's time to look at individual features. The first one to consider is the interest rate. Interest rates on business cards have a huge range, from as low as about 8% APR to about 18% APR. A few percentage points either way can amount to huge finance charge savings for your business. Many business cards offer an introductory period of a year to 15 months with a 0% APR. Having a year or more to carry a balance with no interest could be a huge advantage, helping you buy the things you need to grow your business and be able to pay them off with much lower payments.
Annual Fees
Another important thing to consider is the required annual fees of the various business credit card offers. Annual card fees can vary tremendously, from no fee at all, to upwards of $150.00 or more. Some cards will waive the annual fee, but typically for the first year only.
Many business credit cards will also charge pretty significant late payment fees. These fees can be as high as $39.00 (or more) for a payment that is only a day or two late. This is in addition to any interest that has been incurred. Some cards also charge an "over limit" fee, incurred when the cardholder charges more than the maximum credit limit established for that cardholder. A small business owner needs to decide not only if these fees are affordable, but if they make good economic sense for the business when weighed against whatever benefits a particular card offers.
Grace Period
Another thing to look for in your business credit card is a grace period. A grace period is a time during which no interest is charged, as long as you pay your balance in full. A standard grace period is 20 to 25 days and is a great way for a business to "float" expenses without accruing interest charges. This can really help your business if you have expenses, and you know the income to pay for them should be arriving soon. For a business with bills to pay, a grace period amounts to a short term, interest free loan, allowing the business to cover its expenses in a timely manner at no additional cost above the principal. This can also be an effective way to "stretch" your payables to maximize your cash flow position.
Everyone would like to pay all their bills within the grace period, and never have to pay a penny in interest. However, in the real world this is not always possible. All kinds of unforeseen business expenses may arise, bringing the credit card balance to an amount the business owner is unable to pay in full. This is why the interest rate is something well worth considering in a credit card. Interest rates can vary from less than 7% to over 24% annual percentage rate (APR). High interest can add up to huge debts over a relatively short period of time. This is where free balance transfers, a feature offered on some small business credit cards can really help. Many cards offer low interest or even an entirely interest free period of up to a year on balance transfers.
Getting Rewarded
Rewards are another thing to consider and can be a very helpful feature of a small business credit card. Some offer airline miles, free gasoline, electronics equipment, store gift certificates, office equipment and more. Airline mile rewards can help to greatly reduce the travel expenses of a small business. And for some business credit card offers, the business may be able to choose a cash back rebate, which is usually a small percentage of the total annual purchases. It makes sense to choose a card with rewards that are relevant to your business, or that can be used as valuable employee incentives.
Balance Transfers
Many business credit cards have a balance transfer option. This is particularly useful if your business already has some debt on a credit card with a higher interest rate. You can transfer this debt to your credit card and pay it off at the lower rate. There is generally a fee for balance transfers, but sometimes you can find a card that offers free balance transfers during the introductory period. And, if you are lucky enough to have found a card with 0% interest for a year, your business can save even more by transferring debt during this time.
Cash Advances
Sometimes a business needs cash right away for an expense that cannot be charged on a credit card. This is why some cards offer cash advances. Cash advances generally do not have a grace period, and interest rates vary.
Customer Service
Finally, an important feature of any business credit card is the customer service provided. Most of us hope that we'll never have a problem with our card. But problems do occur, and it's important to know that youll have good customer support for when it does happen. To find out about customer service, you might want to check out some of the websites online that rate various cards by customer satisfaction. And it never hurts to speak with associates who may already have one of the cards you are considering.
Combining Personal Expenses with the Business
A few words of caution for the first few years while using a small business credit card, personal and professional finances are one and the same. Until a business has a proven track record, the personal liability for a business card is identical to that of a personal card. If the business is unable to pay its debts, a creditor can legitimately come after the individual who signed the card for payment!
In addition, the records of a small business card will become a part of the business owner's personal credit reports. Even a few late payments could damage the credit score of the owner, and a large business balance will make the owner appear personally over-extended financially. Luckily, after a few years of paying in a timely manner, some lenders are willing to separate the business and personal finances and let the business stand on its own.
Another important thing to consider is that business cards often don't offer the consumer protection features which are standard on personal cards. This is most apparent in disputed charges, which cannot be left unpaid on business cards until the issue is resolved. Also, a business card company will not intervene on the part of the customer in the event of damaged merchandise, as with a personal card.
As with any financial decision, a small business credit card is something that should be well researched and thought through. Chosen and used appropriately it can be a valuable asset in cash flow management, flexibility, and establishing a solid reputation for a small business.

On Saturday, Jan. 24, the first major automobile race of the year – the iconic Rolex 24 At Daytona – will see the waving of the green flag that signals the start of the 52nd edition of the historic twice-around-the-clock challenge. At Daytona International Speedway, home to the race since its inception in 1962, steel girders crown the stadium which where the true spirit of #DaytonaRising is on full display.
A partner of track racing in Daytona Beach from its beginnings in the late 1950s, Rolex has been Title Sponsor of this motor-sport legend since 1992. The Rolex 24 At Daytona celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2012 – just one year ahead of the Cosmograph Daytona, the Rolex chronograph dedicated to racing drivers. On its launch in 1963, the watch brand baptized its new model "Cosmograph Daytona" to mark the connection with the Daytona International Speedway, the fastest American track of its era.
Preparations for the event have been underway, in one form or another, since the checkered flag fell on the 51st running of the race around the clock in 2013. On Thursday, drivers and teams took to the speedway to determine their starting positions for the historic event.
Earning pole position in the Prototype (P) class, Alex Gurney turned in a fastest lap of 1:38.270 in the #99 GAINSCO/Bob Stallings Corvette DP.
"I am really so happy to have won pole position," said Gurney. "I want to thank Bob Stallings and everybody on the team. Most of the team worked through Christmas and New Year's and with all the rule changes and other challenges this means a lot to all of us."
In the Prototype Challenge (PC) class, Colin Braun drove the #54 Core Autosport ORECA FLM09 to a class fastest time of 1:41.777.
"Obviously it is very good to be on pole here at Daytona," said Braun, crediting the prep work done during the off season. "With an hour and a half for practice, four or five drivers to run through, and with caution periods, it's all about getting here ready to race. It's very tough competition. Wth our class being spec, it comes down to all the fine details."
In the GT Daytona (GTD) class, Christopher Haase had the fastest time of 1:46.973 with the #48 Paul Miller Racing Audi R8, though the time was disallowed following post-qualifying inspection. That penalty moves the Scuderia Corsa No. 63 Ferrari 458 Italia qualified by Toni Vilander, and co-driven by Alessandro Balzan, Jeff Westphal and Lorenzo Caseto the pole position in GTD.
A sister Corsa Ferrari, the No. 65 driven by Daniel Serra, Xandinho Negrao, Marcos Gomes and Francisco Longo, moves up to second, while TRG-AMR's No. 007 Aston Martin Vantage GT3, driven by James Davison, Al Carter, David Block and Brandon Davis, is now promoted into third.
In the GT Le Mans (GT) class it was Marc Goosens with the fastest lap of 1:44.506 in the #91 SRT Motorsports SRT Viper GTS-R who took the pole.
"It's not the most important thing to be on pole for a 24 hour race," said Goosens. "But our team has put good people together and after a year and half of hard work we are able to get up to this level. We have the momentum going so its motivation for the whole team."
The winners will be presented with the coveted Rolex timepiece at the conclusion of racing on Sunday, 26 January 2014. Live coverage of the Rolex 24 At Daytona begins on Saturday, Jan. 25 at 2 p.m., and continues on FOX Sports 1 and FOX Sports 2, with overnight streaming video on www.imsa.com.

He may only be relevant to those who still manage to sit through episodes of One Tree Hill long after Chad Michael Murray departed, but 34-year-old Gavin DeGraw is making his best attempt at a comeback. After a few enjoyable power pop songs on his first two albums (like "Follow Through," whose lyrics filled many an away message in the early aughts) and heavy publicity thanks to prime placement on a CW drama, DeGraw's last two albums (Gavin DeGraw and Free) fell flat, sweeping him under the pop music rug in exchange for younger, cuter entrees like Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers. Now that he's resurfaced, with a new Ryan Tedder creation to boot, he'll be looking to see if new album Sweeter fits in with what the kids are actually listening to these days, or if he's destined to join the likes of Train on the adult contemporary shelves. (It still might win him a Grammy!)
"Not Over You" is standard DeGraw fare: introspective tales from the nice guy, with a piano-driven melody. The initial somber admittance that he spends his days reminiscing with pictures and love songs, unable to forget—or get angry with—the girl who broke his heart ("But still you're magnificent") sets him up as a sap who's reached rock bottom. (Didn't you hear the dramatic pausing? Things are really bad.) But before you can slap the pathetic out of him (or turn the song off), DeGraw's chorus builds to full-on denial, when faced with a round of questioning from his ex ("If you ask me how I'm doing, I would say I'm doing just fine / I would lie and say that you're not on my mind"). It's a defense mechanism that resonates with anyone who has suffered through unexpected run-ins with a former flame, and only when he his own denial can he begin to move on—a mantra he conveys through a series of unnecessary vocal runs and lengthy pauses that sound more laughable than emotionally resonant. "Not Over You" is not earth-shattering; it's a song we've heard many times before, but its DeGraw's distinctive voice that makes us incapable of shaking it off right away, becoming catchy to the point of delirium. Which makes us think it'll go the way of Train, since that was the description of "Hey Soul Sister" after all.

Google commands and Sun Portal internet-facing deployments
By atul on Aug 01, 2007
Rajesh has an interesting observation on using Google commands to discover some external/internet-facing deployments of Sun Java System Portal Server. So essentially a peek at the power and simplicity of Google search, as well as some insight into the adoption of Sun's Portal in a particular category (i.e. external-facing), if you will.
Basically, you can type -- inurl:"/portal/dt" -- in the Google search text box to get a sub-set [1] of the external/internet-facing [2] Sun Portal deployments on the web. The results show diversity of deployments; traction in the commercial/enterprise, government, education, etc spaces..
[1] sub-set since this may only capture the deployments that have not modified the default, out-of-the-box URL ("/portal/dt"), as well as largely picking non-localized deployments (Sun Portal is localized in many languages), etc. Also, the search results presumably reflect the extent of what Google picks up at any given moment. Other caveats may apply.
[2] internet-facing since obviously the search results do not capture intranet URLs; a large proportion of deployments are inside company firewalls (e.g. B2E, etc).

text: ACA, MLB, and Spring Training (Part 2 of 2) Back In yesterday's missive, I focused on the age and health status similarities between MLB players and the uninsured. As we conclude this series, I wanted to turn to another intriguing commonality between MLB and Americans without coverage: the proportion of foreign-born.Slightly more than 28% of players in the Majors were born outside of the United States. As a fascinating coincidence, roughly the same proportion of uninsured adults age 20 to 40 (the age range of MLB players) is foreign-born. To be clear, many of these individuals may be U.S. citizens (as children of citizens or by naturalization) – but we thought that this it may be worth a moment to look at the ACA issues specific to noncitizens.Unlike MLB players, many noncitizens don't earn the League average of $3.39 million per year. Indeed, noncitizens in general are more than twice as likely to live in poverty as either their native-born or naturalized citizen counterparts. Partly for income reasons, noncitizens age 20 to 40 are also more than twice as likely to be uninsured; indeed, about one-half of noncitizens in this age group may not have coverage.So, can the ACA help? In many instances, yes. Noncitizens who lawfully reside in the U.S. may qualify for the tax credits provided that they meet the income and other criteria. They may also be eligible for Medicaid and CHIP, depending on whether they also satisfy the definition of a "qualified alien" and have been in the U.S. for a requisite amount of time – though the rules here vary by state. Moreover, any children born in the U.S. would be eligible for the ACA's insurance affordability programs as citizens. Just to keep it interesting, pregnant women (regardless of citizenship status) may be eligible for CHIP coverage depending on their state of residence – and otherwise-eligible immigrants needing emergency services may get limited benefit Medicaid even if they are not "qualified aliens" within the meaning of the rules.But what about the penalty? Both lawfully present noncitizens and citizens may qualify for certain exemptions to the penalty if they do not obtain minimum essential coverage. Here's an interesting additional point: noncitizens may also qualify for a special exemption if they are not lawfully present in the U.S. They will simply claim this exemption on their tax form. The IRS will be issuing guidance later this year about how this will work; stay tuned!Got all of that? It's entirely understandable if you didn't it follow completely. The ACA can be quite complex. The key point is that uninsured noncitizens may well be eligible for the ACA's insurance affordability programs. And if they are not eligible for such help, they may certainly qualify for an exemption to the penalty for being uninsured. Either way, Jackson Hewitt® can help citizens and noncitizens alike sort out the ACA. While baseball may be your pastime, taxes and the ACA are ours. Play ball!Please feel free to contact me at email@example.com or 615-761-6929 if I can be helpful in any way. Sincerely, Brian

The following is a bio and slideshow of 10 hot photos of WWE wrestling Divas Champion AJ Lee. As you can see the photos, AJ Lee is super hot, and is easily one of the hottest WWE Divas Champions of all-time.
Hope you enjoy the hot photos of AJ Lee in the slideshow. Watch for AJ at WWE events this year.
10 Hot photos of WWE wrestling Divas Champion AJ Lee in 2014
AJ Lee was born on March 19, 1987, in Union City, New Jersey. AJ wrestles under the name AJ Lee, but her real name is April Jeanette Mendez. She had a tough childhood growing up in New Jersey, often living in motels, other people's homes and even in a car.
Due to her brother's interest in the WWE, AJ Lee also became a big wrestling fan as a kid. At one point she met Lita at an autograph session when she was maybe 12, and AJ could not help but to cry over meeting one of her wrestling idols.
After graduating from Memorial High School in West New York, New Jersey, AJ Lee went to college for a semester, but then dropped out and enrolled in a wrestling school near her home in New Jersey.
In September of 2007, AJ Lee made her wrestling debut on the independent wrestling circuit in New Jersey under the name Miss April. After wrestling on the independent circuit for a couple of years, AJ Lee was signed by the WWE in May of 2009.
The WWE put AJ Lee into their developmental FCW program in Florida. While in the FCW, AJ Lee won both the FCW Divas Championship and the title of Queen of FCW.
In the second half of 2010, AJ Lee started wrestling on the regular WWE circuit. AJ Lee soon became a WWE star, and started having on-screen relationships with Daniel Bryan, John Cena, Dolph Ziggler, and CM Punk.
On June 16, 2013, AJ Lee defeated Kaitlyn to become WWE Divas Champion for the first time. AJ's first reign as Divas Champion lasted for 295 days, the longest reign in WWE Divas history. AJ Lee lost her title on April 7, 2014, to Paige.
On June 30, 2014, AJ Lee took back her title when she defeated Paige. At least one of AJ Lee's on-screen romances has turned out to be real, as AJ Lee married CM Punk on June 13, 2014. For 2014, AJ Lee is making some $320,000 in salary from the WWE.
Hope you enjoy the hot photos of AJ Lee in the slideshow. Watch for AJ at WWE events this year.
