And a rule I like to live by is to shop for classy, well-made items that will serve as staples for years to come. It's always better to spend a little more on an item that will last a lifetime than an item that is "in". If Paris Hilton would wear it, you might want to put it down.

Victor Frankenstein creates and then rejects his creation, a monster. This happened in the year of 1795. The monster doesn't take the rejection very well and in a fit of anger, it kills Dr. Frankenstein's wife. Frankenstein wants revenge and follows the monster to the Arctic but he freezes to death before he can get his revenge. The monster then buries his creator but demons attack it in the darkness but the gargoyles save the monster. The gargoyles are ordered to bring the monster to the gargoyle queen. The gargoyle queen explains to the monster that the gargoyles were created by the Archangel Michael. They were to fight the demons that are sent to earth. The queen invites the monster to stay and fight with them but the creature declines their offer and leaves their gargoyle bailiwick.
For centuries, the creature(given the name of Adam), fends off demons on earth. A policeman is killed at a nightclub and Adam is summons by the clan of gargoyles yet again. The demons report that the creature is still alive after all of this time to their leader. The demonic clan has attempted to reanimate several corpses through modern day science. They want the secret of creating life.
The gargoyle clan is attacked by the demonic clan but Adam convinces the gargoyles of his innocence. The gargoyle queen is captured by the demonic clan and several are slaughtered in the process. Gideon, the commander of the gargoyles wants to exchange Frankenstein's journal for the gargoyle queen. The queen forbids the trade but Gideon does it anyway. Adam follows some of the demonic entities and learns of their plan to raise corpses from the dead by allowing each of the corpses to be possessed by a demonic entity from hell.
Adam warns the gargoyle clan of the demonic entities plan. The gargoyle queen orders her commander to kill the creature, Adam, but Gideon is unsuccessful and Adam ends his life. Adam burns his master's diary so that no one may learn of the secret of creating life by his master's hand. Adam battles several demonic entities in order to try and save the scientist by the name of Terra. The demon's master, Naberious attempts to have one of his demonic entities try and attempt to possess Adam. The possession is completely unsuccessful due to Frankenstein(Adam) actually having a soul due to all of the demons he has eliminated from the earth. Adam takes on the demonic master and literally carves a gargoyle symbol on Naberious and stops the possessions of the corpses and sends the demonic master to hell once again. The entire building collapses and Frankenstein is falling into the depths of hell.
The gargoyle queen recognizes Frankenstein's bravery and saves his life. Frankenstein tells Terra goodbye once again and picks up right where he left off, to rid the world of the demonic entities that may enter it and he embraces his true name, Frankenstein.
This movie gets 5 stars from this movie critic. I figured that it would be boring and the same stuff you usually visualize. The gargoyle story was different and enlightening. This movie critic takes her hat off to Hollywood once again. Good job! My new friend and I loved it!

I have a straight forward divergence and curl question
Let F be the vector field
$F=(ax^{2}+bxy+cy^{2}-2x)i + (x^{2}+xy-y^{2}+bz)j+ (2y+2z)k$
Determine a,b,c since the vector field is solenodial, hence for this I have a=-0.5, b=2 and $c\in\mathbb{R}$
Now dertermine a,b,c since the vector Field is irrptational, hence for this I have, b=2, c=0.5 and now $a\in\mathbb{R}$.
Lastly fix the values of a,b,c such that the vector field f is both solenodial and irrotational and check that the vector field satisfies the laplace equation. However for this I have choosen my a=-0.5, b=2 and c=0.5, then when computing the laplace equation $\neq 0$, I must have gone wrong somewhere, any help would be most appreciated, many thanks.

Why is it that everything looks more fabulous in French? This Brasserie Plate ($18) is a perfect example. If its menu-themed pattern was printed in English, we doubt we'd find it nearly as chic. But put that à la carte in Français, and the whole thing goes from blah to glam.

STARKVILLE, Miss. – For the fourth time in five years, Mississippi State will again play a non-conference football game against an in-state university, director of athletics Scott Stricklin announced Wednesday. The Bulldogs will take on the Alcorn State Braves at Davis Wade Stadium on Sept. 7, 2013.
"It remains important to us to schedule teams from the state of Mississippi," Stricklin said. "We've played Jackson State and Alcorn State and have Southern Miss on the schedule in coming years. We feel it benefits Mississippi State University, as well as our opponents and the state of Mississippi."
Mississippi State previously announced a non-conference matchup with Oklahoma State in the Texas Kick Off, which will be played at Houston's Reliant Stadium on August 31.

Judgement Day
That begs the question, For God's sake why? Well, for a VERY good reason indeed. Mark, my oldest pal, turns 29 next weekend, and so to celebrate he had the towering brilliant idea of attending the Southern division of the Masters Football. This is a six-a-side competition involving ex-pros. It was unutterably joyous.
Although Oxford United did not field a side, there was a disproportionately high number of our former players in other teams. They included HM Paul Moody, Nick "First Class Degree in Economics" Cusack, Alex Dyer and Peter Rhodes-Brown. But – and attentive readers of this blog will appreciate the significance of this – the most exciting realisation was that none other than Alan Judge would be between the sticks for Crystal Palace.
I had no idea that he used to play for them – and indeed can find no evidence on the Internet that he did. But ours is not to reason why. Ours is to marvel as Alan rolls back the years and makes save after world class save. He was magnificent. God I love him. I didn't quite have the courage to seek him out though. Next time.
Matt Le Tissier played for Southampton. History will record that as a youngster he was turned away by the Yellow Army after playing badly in a trial game for us. Oh Matty, Matty, Matty. He still has hilariously good ball control. Basically he can make a ball sit up and talk.
Afterwards we went out on the town. (Not me and Matty.) The beer and shots and champagne flowed (and a few shorts for some of the gang too). And Tom Holliday and I made a big impression on the dance floor. TH by veering all over it like a tramp, and your humble blogger by throwing some awesome shapes. It is a little known fact that I am a VERY good dancer.

Ok, since my last blog on here, there have been some changes. First of all, my parents and my friends parents, and a few other people all did there best to stop us from moving to Los Angeles. They won. Since then I have been living a misareble life. Everything that can go wrong pretty much has, but I'm not going to go in to all that. The main thing that has fialed for me, is my diet. I was doing good, and lost like 5 pounds. THen I gained it all back, and then some. It seems like evrytime I start to try to lose weight, evryone screws me up in some way or another, even when they don't know it. Honestly it seems like nobody wants me to be happy at all. I have no friendds to hang out with anymore, the one friend I did have, moved 30 minutes away and neither of us has a car. I walk a mile 5 days a week to work; and as soon as it starts cooling off, I'll be walking that mile back home. But that mile does nothing for me any more. I have been walking it for close to 5 months now. THe only "gym" that is close to me, is nothing at all, its almost worthless. I have done all I can think of to get and keep motivation, but it's no use. I think the fact that this town that I live in, is so crappy. There is nothing to do at all here, and I'm not exerating either. Walking to Wal-Mart at night is the most exciting thing to do, and it's only a mile to two miles away. Hopefully I can move out of here soon, and get on track better. Till then, does anyone have any ideas on how to keep motivated?

Believe me when I say I know where you are coming from. I live with my boyfriend who loves to eat a lot of crappy food, and he's terrible with money. So, I, too, am very stressed out, and my motivation lacks from time to time. I'm not always happy, but I stop and realize how many blessings I do have, and that makes things a lot better. So, be grateful for what you do have.
For food, do your best. Dinners are difficult especially since I share them with him. However, watch your portions. While I am at work, I take this time to eat healthy. I plan out my breakfast, lunch, and snacks because this (more than likely - not sure based on your schedule) is when I have most control over my eating. When you can't control the food, limit portions and stick to vegetables. Heck! Make a salad to go with the meal. Also, get in your water.
As for exercise, continue to walk to work but also find a way to get some more exercise in. For example, go for an evening walk if you have some time. This is a great time to just relax. There are lots of exercise videos on YouTube that are free! (Tone It Up and Body Rock are great examples.)
Lastly, you choose whether you are happy. Not someone else. Remember that.

"One of Australia's best bands" – ROLLING STONE read more
The Mess Hall have earned their title as one of the country's 'best bands'.
Comprised of Jed Kurzel on guitar and vocals and Cec Condon on drums and percussion, The Mess Hall's explosive reputation has secured them spots at every major music festival including Big Day Out, Homebake, Splendour In The Grass, Falls Festival and Meredith as well as tours alongside the likes of Kings Of Leon, Foo Fighters, The Strokes, Wilco and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion to name but a few.
Their fourth album 'For The Birds' was released in 2009 and could be described as a big black voodoo melting pot. Its ingredients and influences range from Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour to jazz heavweight Art Blakey. the film scores of Angelo Badalamenti and the scotch infused swagger of Tom Waits. The album was produced by Burke Reid (The Drones, Jack Ladder) and has yielded three successful singles – 'Bell', 'Tijuana 500' and 'My Villain'.
'For The Birds' was shortlisted as a finalist for the prestigious Australia Music Prize (AMP) in 2009, an award The Mess Hall were very happily to receive in 2007 for their highly acclaimed third album 'Devils Elbow'.

Act of Social Rejection Hurts Both the Victim and the Doer
by Raja Nandhini on March 7, 2013 at 3:16 AM Mental Health News - G J E 4
A new study reveals that people who disregard and shun others are inflicted with as much pain as the victim.
It is human nature to be empathetic and avoid hurting others unless felt threatened. Nicole Legate, a graduate student at University of Rochester along with her colleagues studied the psychological consequences faced when one is forced to comply with demands such as excluding people based on social stigmas.
AdvertisementResearchers set up an experiment with the help of an online throw-catch ball game, Cyberball, in which each participant throws the ball to two other players. The participants were made to believe that they were playing with two other real people offsite, while the two players were actually virtual computer programs.
The study involved 152 participants randomly assigned to different game scenarios. The ostracizer group was instructed not to throw the ball to a certain player, while the compliance group was asked to throw the ball equally to both players. Another set of participants were ostracized and were excluded by the computer players.
The psychological conditions of the participants were evaluated using a survey. The results showed that people who were disregarded in the game, though by some stranger, felt depressed and angry. While the participants who were forced to ostracize also had negative moods with a sense of guilt, shame and they felt socially detached.
"Our results highlight that it goes against the grain of people's psychological needs to exclude others," says Ryan, co-author of the study.
The authors suggest further probe into the dynamics of ostracism and its consequences.

How This Sister Act Used a Move to Refocus Their E-Commerce Business
Two sisters move their e-commerce plus-size lingerie business out of Mom's basement and onto Internet Retailer's top 1,000 list.
Playing Dress Up
Here's how it all started: In December 2004, Mia Bulifa shopped with her mother in Denver, looking for plus-size lingerie and sleepwear. She couldn't find anything bigger than a size "large" and went home empty-handed. Instead of giving up hope, Bulifa decided to create a place she could shop. She launched Angelique Lingerie a few months later with her sister, Nadia, and her mother, Taina. Mia was 22 years old at the time. Nadia was 15.
In the beginning, they auctioned their lingerie and sleepwear products on eBay to gauge shopper interest. They tested which products sold more than others. While they built their company, they both worked other jobs and attended school at the same time. Before long, they decided to sell plus-size lingerie on Amazon's marketplace. Sales took off. "We knew it was time to move our business. Our mother wanted her basement back," Mia says.
The Right Fit
In 2009, the Bulifas found a warehouse in Denver, where they set up operations. They used the move as an opportunity to take their small company to the next level. They hired programmers and launched their own e-commerce website. Along with hiring a team of customer service representatives to answer phones, the Bulifas worked to improve the way they serviced their orders.
Teaming up with FedEx was key. "When we were trying to find a shipping carrier, our father — who owns the outdoor tools company, Alamia — referred us to his FedEx representative. We met with him and were blown away by how easy it was," says Mia. Terrence Lawver, their FedEx account executive, advised them about the shipping options that would work best considering the size of their average orders and the fact that most of their shipments were lightweight. He also set them up with a scanner and printer so they could process their orders faster and more efficiently.
When Angelique Lingerie offered their customers the option to use FedEx Express® shipping with 3-day, 2-day and overnight shipping options, the Bulifas learned something important about their customers. "We discovered how impulse-driven our sales are when we started offering shipping with FedEx. It was a great move on our part. Customers had repeatedly requested FedEx® shipping from us. Now they order what they want and have the option to choose overnight shipping. People love it," says Mia.
During the 2011 holiday season — a peak selling time for Angelique — they allowed customers to place orders up until the day before Christmas. "Many people took advantage of it and were thrilled by everything arriving on time and in perfect condition."
Crossing the Pond
Sales doubled for Angelique Lingerie between 2010 and 2011 and show no signs of slowing down. "A lot of our success is word of mouth," says Mia.
The sisters also actively market their company. "We optimize our website for search engines. We are active at the plus-size conventions. We're active on social media with the plus-size audience,"says Nadia.
And when they noticed online interest from potential customers in England, the Bulifas researched how to export their products to England through Amazon UK. "When you sell internationally, there are a lot of taxes and tariffs for the products you're selling," says Mia. "I read through all these government websites trying to figure it out, but I had no idea how to calculate the duties and fees so I would know what to charge for our products and shipping. It was confusing."
The Bulifas consulted with Lawver and found out that by shipping with FedEx internationally, all the work of figuring out the fees are calculated for them. "We get one bill from FedEx that spells out all the charges so we can base our markups on real costs. It saves us a lot of time. We don't need to hassle with doing it on our own, and for that reason, we will be using FedEx for all our Amazon UK shipments. Plus, the shipments arrive there really fast," says Mia.
As the sisters continue to grow their company, they plan to consult with FedEx to ensure they're growing smart. "We value our relationship with FedEx," says Mia. "They're an easy company to work with and have the fastest and most reliable shipping out there." Nadia adds, "FedEx makes things easy for us. We guarantee all of our orders. If people don't receive them, we refund them or reship the package. When we ship with other carriers, we spend a lot more on damages and loss. With FedEx we have no issue with missing packages, and that's huge for us. Packages get to customers really fast and in great condition with no hassles. Our customers can easily track the status of their packages. It's great," Nadia says.
All Dressed Up
Now that the Bulifa sisters are 29 and 22, they are focusing on Angelique Lingerie's continued growth. "We're working on a catalog so we can expand into the mail-order market, and we want to open a retail storefront for plus-size women," Nadia says.
The only curveballs they can foresee? "We're sisters," Nadia says. "That can be a fun adventure and a challenge." Curvy women around the globe count themselves lucky that the sisters have found a successful way to work together.
"We discovered how impulse-driven our sales are when we started offering shipping with FedEx. It was a great move on our part. Customers had repeatedly requested FedEx® shipping from us. Now they order what they want and choose overnight shipping. People love it."

Angelique Lingerie Owner

Unfortunately, these Cinder Block Magnets ($12, set of 6) may be the closest we can come to an "exposed brick wall" in our apartment. We'll take it. They give a funky, urban vibe to the front of our fridge (if that's even a thing!), and do their job of holding up important stuff admirably. What more can we ask for in a magnet set?

In the Senate there is still hope that the long-term jobless unemployment benefits extension bill they passed earlier in the month will still be passed by the Republican controlled House of Representatives after they return from the recess on April 28, 2014. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV and Senator Dean Heller, R-NV, the co-author of the Senate bill according to Roll Call appeared on KSNV, Las Vegas' NBC affiliate on Friday, April 18, 2014 to discuss the unemployment benefits extension bill, ongoing negotiations with the House, and the chances the Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-OH will put the bill to a vote. Nearly 3 million long-term jobless have been left without any benefits since Dec. 28, 2013 when Congress let the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program expire.
Sen. Heller was disappointed that the Easter recess came in the middle of the negotiations and that he could not schedule a meeting with the speaker. Heller stated "We will put together a meeting. We couldn't get it done before the break." However, he did say that "Our staffs are talking with the speaker's staff." Heller also discussed in the appearance that that the Senate is looking into a "compromise" with the House including adding job creation provisions. The most popular provision choice by the House GOP at this moment is the Supporting Knowledge and Investing in Lifelong Skills (SKILLS) Act sponsored by Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C. and passed by the House in March 2013, which streamlines government sponsored job training programs.
The two Nevada senators from opposing parties appeared together, not only because Reid is the majority leader and Heller is the co-author of the unemployment benefits bill, but because long-term unemployment is a bipartisan concern in Nevada which has according to Roll Call the second highest rate in the country. Heller expressed the regional importance of the bill stating; "The UI extension is important for citizens here in the state of Nevada. Keep in mind these are people that work hard, that are looking for work, that have lost their job, it's not their fault."
Reid seemed even more confident that that he will be able to negotiate with Boehner about the bill. Unlike the combative tone Obama takes with GOP House leadership, Reid is actually on good terms with the speaker, explaining; "Let me say one thing that I think might be interesting to your viewing audience. We kick around John Boehner often, but I have a wonderful relationship with him. He's the nicest guy."
Reid recounted that meeting with House Speaker Boehner are always in his office, because he smokes, but smoking calms him, enough that they might be able to make a deal on the unemployment benefits extension. Reid related that "And every meeting that I have with him takes place in his office. You know [the] protocol is you go back and forth. But we decided to do it that way because John Boehner smokes, and he smokes a lot. I don't want him smoking in my office, so every meeting we've had has been in his office. And usually he smokes a cigarette about every ten minutes. I am glad he is able to smoke, it keeps him pacified and we have been able actually to get some things worked out."
At this point Speaker Boehner does not intend to put the Senate bill as it is to a vote at all, despite wide public support for the bill, and states with Republican representatives including Boehner's own that are still facing high unemployment rates. Some moderate Republicans want to vote on the bill, others see it as an opportunity to advance their own special interests. Boehner finally commented publicly on the Senate passed unemployment benefits extension bill (HR 3979) on Thursday, April 10, 2014 at the House GOP leadership press conference at the Capitol. Boehner left the possibility of a compromise open whereas the bill could still be voted on and pass the House. The White House however, needs to agree to the job-creation provisions he has been requesting.
Boehner speaking to the press on Thursday morning, April 10 reiterated his position on job creation measures being a part of any unemployment benefits extension bill he would bring to a House vote. Boehner stated; "Listen, I made clear to the president last December that if he wanted us to consider an extension of emergency unemployment benefits, it would have to be paid for and it would have to include things that would help get our economy going. They have not put forward anything with regard to how we would create more jobs. And so the ball's still in their court." The speaker told the press to ask the White House when asked what measures would have to be included for the bill to pass the House. Boehner responded; "You'll have to ask the administration. I made it clear what it would take for me to consider it. They've not had any suggestions."
Boehner still believes that the Senate needs to move on serious job creation bills to solve the economic problems the Americans are still facing. The speaker explained; "Meanwhile, Democrats here in Washington continue to play their usual politics, using their old playbook of pitting one group of Americans against another. And frankly, it's pretty obvious that their efforts have failed. They've fallen flat because the American people are still asking the question, 'Where are the jobs?,' and these political votes provide no answers."
Job creation and training legislation is a priority for Boehner and the Republican House. The speaker explained the types of bills the House are making a priority. Boehner indicated; "So the House is going to continue to focus on the American people's priorities: creating good paying jobs, increasing wages, and expanding opportunity for all Americans. This means reforming our job training and skills programs, advancing bipartisan charter school legislation, critical water and highway infrastructure bills, expanding exports to our allies, and repealing and replacing ObamaCare – just to name a few."
The speaker's listing of legislating priorities give a good idea what type of provisions need to be added to the unemployment benefits extension to get the bill to a vote and passed in the House. Among those being seriously considered by House Republicans are revising and "streamlining" job training programs or a "business tax cuts" extension. According to Roll Call an official from the White House stated that President Barack Obama and the administration are willing to negotiate with the House Republicans on any bill to extend unemployment benefits that could also pass the Senate.
As of Wednesday, April 9, 2014 Republicans in the House of Representatives are coalescing around adding a job training provision to the unemployment benefits extension in order to bring the bill to a House vote. Senator Dean Heller, R-NV, one of the Senate co-sponsors and authors of the unemployment benefits extension bill is negotiating for the Senate with the House, agrees that combining job training would be good a fit and he supports that idea just as long as the unemployment benefits extension gets passed. House Republicans are looking to add the already House passed job training bill, the Supporting Knowledge and Investing in Lifelong Skills (SKILLS) Act (HR 803) sponsored by Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., the bill "streamlines" job training programs. The bill would provide job training to 3.7 million Americans unemployed for longer than 27 weeks.
Michael Steele Boehner's spokesman commented on the Republican considering provisions to add to the bill. Steele stated; "A lot of members have proposals on economic growth and jobs provisions. No decisions have been made at this point on how we'll proceed." So far no consensus has been reach among the GOP about which particular provisions they will consider.
Not all Republicans in the House of Representatives agree with Speaker John Boehner's, R-OH position and dismissal on long-term jobless unemployment benefits, and on Thursday, April 3, 2014, seven Republican Reps signed a letter objecting to Boehner, asking him and House Majority leader Eric Cantor, R-VA to pass the Senate's bill or House produced "alternative." Reps. Peter T. King, R-NY and Frank A. LoBiondo , R-NJ sent the Speaker a letter requesting he extend unemployment benefits and put the Senate bill known as HR 3979 or just any unemployment benefits extension bill to a vote. They were joined by five other Republicans Representatives, who also signed the letter they included according to Roll Call; Joe Heck, R-NV, two other New Jersey Reps. Jon Runyan and Christopher H. Smith, and two additional New York Reps Chris Gibson and Michael G. Grimm.
The pressure is on from on Speaker Boehner from fellow Republicans, Democrats, the Senate and the White House to pass the unemployment benefits extension. Supporters are arguing back that not extending the benefits would hurt the economy. Supporters cite a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study that found a full year extension would provide 0.2 growth to the economy, and even the five-month Senate extension would serve beneficial to the economy. If extended for a full year the CBO study concludes extending benefits would add 200,000 jobs and the program would cost $26 billion.
The Senate passed on Monday, April 7, 2014 the full and final vote on the long-term jobless unemployment benefits extension bill with 59 votes for and 38 against with six Republicans joining the Democrats to pass the bill, while three Senators did not vote at all. The bill extends benefits for five months to the 2.79 million Americans that lost them when the program expred on Dec. 28, 2013. According to Roll Call Republican Senators "Susan Collins of Maine, Dean Heller of Nevada, Mark S. Kirk of Illinois, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rob Portman of Ohio" voted for the bill and also Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H.
The Senate bill would extend unemployment benefits for two million long-term jobless that lost benefits at the end of last year. The deal will extend the benefits retroactively for five months from Dec. 28, 2013 and last until June 1, 2014. The speaker has already said he will not allow the House to vote on the Senate's bill in the present format. The Senate bill will cost $10 billion will be entirely covered by revenue.
The bill is authored and primarily sponsored by Sens. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and Dean Heller, R-NV, who have been leading the charge for an unemployment benefits extension. The bipartisan bill has eight other Senate sponsors, including the support of five Republicans; Heller along with "Sens. Susan Collins, R-ME; Rob Portman, R-OH; Lisa Murkowski, R-AK; Mark Kirk, R-IL" Additionally five Democrats, Reed and "Jeff Merkley, D-OR.; Cory Booker, D-N.J.; Sherrod Brown, D-OH; and Dick Durbin, D-IL" support the extension bill.
Speaker of the House Boehner opposes the Senate bipartisan bill to extend unemployment for the long term jobless. Boehner thinks creating jobs is more important than extending benefits. Boehner expressed at his Wednesday March 26 press conference; "I made clear that if we're going to consider dealing with emergency unemployment, we've got to do something about creating better jobs in America, higher wages in America. The Senate is sitting on dozens of bills that we sent over there. I think it's time for the Senate to work with the House to help get the economy moving again. That's the real issue."
Since Dec. 28, 2013 nearly 3 million Americans lost access to benefits, and each week about 70,000 Americans have lost benefits, by the end of the year 1.6 million more Americans will lose benefits. The total long-term unemployment rate is 2.5 percent, while the total unemployment rate was 6.7 percent a point more the 6.6 percent in February.
Generally Republicans have opposed the extension because they believe it does not motivate the unemployed to find a job as long as they have access to benefits. All throughout the financial crisis and recession Republicans voted with Democrats to extend the benefits, but now with the worst of the crisis over Republicans think the long-term jobless need to find jobs rather than receive benefits.
During the 2008 recession when Republican George W. Bush was President the government enlarged the Federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) Program to extend unemployment benefits beyond the 26 weeks that the states give. During the recession the "combined" state and federal benefits gave unemployed Americans 99 weeks of relief. The federal government provides "47 weeks" of extended benefits averaging "$300 a week." The unemployment benefits were extended 11 times until now, the last time was a year extension in January 2013. Then benefits were cut from 99 weeks to a maximum of 73 weeks.
Now that Congress is on a two-week Easter recess having left on Thursday April 10 and returning on April 28, any discussions surrounding the bill will have to wait until Congress returns. By the time they return it will be four full months that America's long-term jobless would have been left without benefits since they expired on Dec. 28, 2013.

Candidates for certification must complete a rigorous standardized examination.
Dr. Beverly Malone, CEO of the NLN, explains, "Through the certification program, we have made clear to the ranks of higher education that the role of nurse educator is an advanced professional practice discipline with a defined practice setting and demonstrable standards of excellence."
Penn State Fayette Nursing Program Coordinator and nursing instructor Melissa Miner says, "Damien Zsiros is an excellent nurse educator and he serves as a role model for our nursing students. By becoming nationally certified as a nurse educator, he has demonstrated his expertise and excellence in this role!"
Penn State Fayette Interim Chancellor Dr. Francis Achampong agrees and explains that the certification credential is a significant accomplishment. "By making the commitment and investing time and effort to obtain this certification, Damien has demonstrated his dedication not only to remaining current in pedagogy, but to the highest standards of professionalism and excellence in nursing education."

Talk:Bad httpd conf
What other possibilities for fixing this exist, except for talking to your friendly tech support team? :) I have now 3 new sites exhibiting this very same issue, and in spite of several attempts to recreate them, the error remains. --Gwyneth Llewelyn 10:37, 20 Oct 2006 (PDT)
- Bad httpd conf is the error produced when the apache server is not properly configured to accept the website in question.. there are a lot of reasons this can happen, but none of them are particularly common, and almost all of them require tech support. If you are managing your own DNS, you may want to query our name server (ns1.dreamhost.com) for the correct IP address as it may have changed. All other variations of this problem (such as an actual misconfigured server) can only be resolved by contacting tech support.
- This condition can sometimes appear and resolve itself within a day or so naturally, if you did anything that would change your IP address (such as adding a unique IP or SVN service to a domain.) Good luck! -- Sabrejack 10:46, 20 Oct 2006 (PDT)
This never happens when I use godaddy as the registrar. It only happens when I use Bluehost as a registrar and forward the DNS to Dreamhost. It almost feels like I'm being penalized for using a hosting competitor as a domain registrar, though I'm sure this is not the case. I cannot help but wonder if it's more likely a bug in DH's DNS system with regards to certain types of domain registrar. I wonder if most other people with similar problems are also using hosting competitors like Bluehost or Hostgator, etc., as a domain registrar.
It's great that they've invented an 'error code' to discern the problem. Since DH invented their own error code, they could even put a link to this wiki on the error code page. Better, could DH please fix the problem so it resolves automatically after it's detected? --Greenman 08:17, 28 January 2011 (PST)

Useful Tips About Facebook or myspace Marketing and advertising So Easy To Follow Along With
What is Facebook marketing? How can one do it successfully? What are the options available to a company? There is a lot to know before you create a campaign to market on Facebook, so finding the best information is key. This article has expert advice you cant find elsewhere, so continue reading. Do not use your official Facebook page to stay in touch with your friends or relatives. Make sure everything you share on your official page is related to your products and will interest your audience. Create a personal profile so you can stay in touch with your friends and family. Use Facebook Insights to make a better Facebook page for your business. Facebook Insights is an analytic tool that tracks user interaction and usage of a Facebook page. It is free to use for every page administrator. Use it to see how many people use your page, what content interest them the most, and what is the least interesting to them. Use this data to adjust the activities on your page accordingly. Think of Facebook as a dialogue. A lot of people when they begin Facebook marketing, talk AT their audience. You need to talk WITH your audience. Feel like you are having a conversation with them, not like you are announcing things to them. Remember, Facebook is a social medium. You need to be social. If youre having trouble gaining followers, you can offer a sweepstakes in return for their "Like".
Before you go ahead, please check out this resource site : Bet365.
Just place the sweepstakes in a tab on your companys page and have them fill it out with their email address, specifying that only those who Like your page will be eligible for the contest..
Be strategic about when you post. Every target audience is different in terms of the time they have to surf social media sites during the day. If you are posting at 9am, but your audience tends to surf at night, then you are missing out on golden opportunities to build communication and community with these people. Post when your audience tends to be around. Be thrifty in posting your updates to Facebook. Dont push all your content in a single day; instead spread it out and keep your customers engaged. Space the content out, and it will be a lot more effective. If you inundate people with information, it will be hard for them to process.
Integrate your Facebook page with your other campaigns. Place links to your Facebook page on your blog, website and in the signature of your professional emails. You should draw attention to your Facebook page by presenting it as a way to get access to exclusive content and more promotional offers.
Try your best to remain professional at all times. Even if you are placed in a position where you feel like being less than a pro, think twice. Everything you do will affect the way your business is perceived, so be careful about the way you present yourself to others.
Free giveaways are some of the best tactics for your marketing plan. Offer a contest or a giveaway to your current customers. It may cost you small amount, but you will have more people to communicate with.
Create contests on Facebook geared towards getting your customer base interested and involved with your products or services. One way to do this would be to see if people that are your followers on Facebook and own your product could photograph themselves using the product. Pick a winner and enjoy the results!
Using Facebook for marketing purposes makes sense and cents! Use the information from this article to begin your marketing campaign and reach an unlimited amount of new customers. When something works in business, it catches on and everyone starts taking advantage of it. Today there are literally millions of companies on Facebook: What are you waiting for? Stay relative to your brand or niche whenever you post content to your Facebook marketing page. People visit your profile expecting to see pretty much the same topic discussed on a regular basis. If you tend to stray, they will never know what to expect and that can cost you viewership.
Do not wait too long in between posts, or you can risk your audience being swayed by another business owner. People these days have a need for loads of information. if they get that then they have to wait to receive anymore, they will become bored and impatient. Try post at least once every day or two.
If youre not immediately successful, dont get discouraged about using Facebook as your marketing strategy. It takes time for any marketing campaign to work and Facebook is no exception. You must give plenty of time to build a strong following and for sales to result from it. Facebook is as ubiquitous today as the television or sliced bread. While most of us grew up in a time before even cell phones existed, todays youth can contact each other at any time of day, no matter where they are, by posting on each others walls. Tap into this constant connection with your customers using the strategies detailed below.
Social media sites are all about making connections. If you want your Facebook marketing to be effective, your community has to feel like it knows you. Make an effort to interject a bit of your life and yourself into your posts. If people can identify with you, they are much more likely to buy from you.

These are tough economic times to be sure. No area of the economy has been hit harder than the real estate market.
The wealthy of our country are even feeling the pinch and being forced to live in a "slightly" more frugal manner.
Ever wonder what kinds of homes America's uber-wealthy reside in? Some of what you read might surprise you.
Warren Buffett – Most Unique!
Though he is the 3rd richest man in the world with an estimated $47 billion dollar fortune, he still lives in the same home he bought in 1958. Purchase Price: $31,500.00
George Lucas
The force is with him! Lucas lives in California in the famed Skywalker Ranch. Over 5,000 ACRES – it is both a live / work situation for Star Wars director.
Bill Gates
If you are visiting Medina Washington, make sure to stop by Bill's 66,000 square foot compound. A dining room that seats 24, a 60 foot swimming pool and oh, you have to take an elevator just to get to the main floor! With a net worth of $53 billion he could have put in two elevators!

Athlete Picks
Hand-picked favorites from our sponsored team of professional athletes.
Shielding exceptionally warm 850-fill goose down with an abrasion-resistant Pertex® 10 denier nylon ripstop exterior, this tech-laden Summit Series® alpine climbing jacket is finished with a sleek exterior that's resilient against rocks. Extremely lightweight goose down packs a thermal punch without the weight or bulk of traditional down coats to deliver best-in-class thermal performance in the mountains.
Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.

ArcHUD displays smooth arcs around your character in the middle of the screen to inform you about the health and power (mana, rage, ...) of you, your pet, and your target. In addition, it shows casts, combo points, holy power, soul shards, and a couple of other things. It discretely fades when you are out of combat and at full health/power.
This is a continuation of ArcHUD2 which managed to survive various patches... until the Cataclysm. Thanks to Nenie, the original author of ArcHUD2, for supporting me with this new version.
Please report any bugs or feature requests via the ticket system. The login is the same as your Curse login.
These arcs are currently supported:
- Health and power (mana, rage, focus, energy, runic power) for player, pet, target, and focus target
- Player's secondary power (Holy Power, Soul Shards, Chi etc.)
- Casting/channelling progress for player, target, and focus target
- Fatigue/breath (mirror timer)
- Combo points (including unconsumed combo points on previous target, e.g. on dead corpses)
- Custom (de)buff arcs: Ever wanted to keep track of the stacks and/or remaining times of some specific (de)buffs such as Evangelism, Savage Roar, Beacon of Light, Weakened Soul, etc? Then just create your own custom (de)buff arc for it!
In addition, some additional target information is displayed:
- Current target (name, class, guild, 3D model)
- Current (de)buffs on target
- Target-of-target and target-of-target-of-target
Changes in v2.3:
- added absorbs to Player Health ring
- added Stagger ring
- added separate scaling option for Target Frame
- change: set new default position for Target Casting ring
- change: disabled Focus Casting ring by default
- bug fix: hide/show RuneFrame with PlayerFrame
Changes in v2.1/2.2:
- added Shadow Orb ring
- added option to change Death Knight rune order
- bug fix: moving Death Knight rune ring now works properly
- bug fix: graphical glitch with arc rendering minimized
Changes in v2.0 (MoP):
- added Monk Chi ring
- added Moonkin Eclipse ring
- added Burning Embers and Demonic Fury to Warlock Soul Shards ring
- added ring for Death Knight runes
- added options to center/scale Blizzard's spell activation overlays on ArcHUD
- added option to hide maximum health/power values
- added option to swap health/power text display
- added option to all arcs to allow attachment to inner (pet) anchor
- added dynamic separators to certain rings (configurable)
- added rendering of arbitrary arcs
- added inverse fillings of rings
- added "shine" to rings (currently DK runes only)
- fixed an issue with changing pet anchors (ticket #51)
- fixed an issue with unit frames created by ArcHUD and used by other addons (tickets #52/#38)
Small warning: Using this addon apparently bears a high risk of getting addicted to it, as these user comments suggest. I received those after taking over the development of ArcHUD when the Cataclysm happened:
- "...nothing ever quite matched the smooth, clean simplicity of ArcHUD's graceful rings."
- "Great job!! I've used this addon for years! None of the other HUDs come close to the functionality and elegance of ArcHUD."
- "Thanks for the work on it so far, much more lightweight than IceHud!"
- "Was staring at the various icehud/metahud alternatives with discomfort and sadness right after the patch [4.0]."
- "Awesome! Thank you so much for that miracle!"
- "Thank you so much for continuing this fantastic addon."
- "...nothing could compare to ArcHUD..."
- "For a whole 4years I had this mod and I missed it so much in the passed few weeks. I tried other HUD mods but they were too in my face >.< . Best HUD mod IMO! Thanks for resurrecting an old friend :D"
- "Loving the new ArcHUD my favorite HUD by far :)"
- "I don't think I could play wow without this addon :)"
- "I've actually grown kind of dependent on it because I'll occasionally run out of Mana/ die without this."
- "Hey mate, just came to thank You again for taking over this beauty, awesome job!"
- "THAT addon! So long I have been searching for a replacement when the development stopped, thanks for bringing it back to live!"
So use it at your own risk ;)

First off... THANK YOU for reviving this!
I do have one thing to report. I used to use ArcHud2 to mouseover the buffs/debuffs my target has, however I can no longer do this. No tooltip is shown. I hope you can work this out!
Btw - if you have a PayPal, I'll gladly contribute a few bucks your way.

Any plans to change the CP display back to an arc next to the mana/energy bar? I'm not a huge fan or staring at a number while DPSing.
Thanks for the work on it so far, much more lightweight than IceHud!Last edited Oct 21, 2010 by prinnyotaku

Works like a charm, loads of options that were available in ArcHUD2 are gone, but somehow I don't miss them at all. Works awesome just as it is. Back to testing!

I believe the fatigue cast bar used to be included in your cast bar. Just another difference i've noticed.
Curious Oct 20, 2010 at 22:57 UTC - 0 likes
Hello Nyyr,
thanks a bunch for picking up this project and investing all the time in it now. Was staring at the various icehud/metahud alternatives with discomfort and sadness right after the patch.
With r8 error messages upon death were gone too. Maybe you are planning this anyway, but just in case you dont: I always used only the arcs in archud - no numbers or text whatsoever. Would it be possible to hide the health/mana text in the lower center of the hud? I couldnt find a corresponding option in the core.lua.
Again thanks a lot and cheers, Jan

Flight of the Conchords stars Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie helped an old school mate propose to his girlfriend at Vector Arena on Saturday night.
It was a sweet touch to the comedy duo's homecoming tour which saw them play to more than 40,000 Kiwis with extra shows because of demand.
The Conchords are heading across the Tasman this week to sold-out Sydney shows.
Clement and McKenzie unfurled a banner saying "Sam will you marry me - Zane" midway through the show. The audience were treated to the backstory, Zane and Clement having a friendship from intermediate school days in Masterton. The pair were buddies, despite the social challenge of Zane being a gun shot-putter and Clement not being so great.
Sam said yes, and Zane gave his mate the thumbs up.
The pair have been busy this year. Clement stars in Men in Black III as an evil alien, while McKenzie won an Oscar for his Man or Muppet song in The Muppets film and was then made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the Queen's Birthday honours.

Not everyone has a speedy broadband Internet connection or a well-equipped PC, and tracking down a dozen or more pieces of software along with manually installing each one could easily burn an entire afternoon -- not counting the time it takes to get your new operating system up and running. To further compound that situation, what if you are doing it on more than one computer?
Thankfully, a nifty new service called Ninite circumvents much of this pesky process by allowing you to select, download, and automatically install over 50 popular applications in a single location. All of the programs are free, and will cover almost every category you can think of. It's not useless stuff either, we have featured many of these programs as our download of the week.

HTC Sensation comes with 1.2 Qualcomm CPU, qHD display and HTC Watch video streaming app
Few minutes ago the long awaited HTC flagship for 2011 – HTC Sensation became official. Finally.
It seems HTC ain't too good at keeping secrets about it's major products. Everything we needed to know about the new flagship codenamed HTC Pyramid and now renamed Sensation, we more or less knew days ago. And today's premature Vodafone shop posting spoiled the surprise even more.
Still, it ain't nothing like the real thing, and now that it is official we can confirm that HTC Sensation was worth the wait.
While HTC could get a bit more creative already with their slate designs, there's nothing boring in what's inside HTC Sensation. It comes with uber fast, 1.2 GHz dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU that can give any NVIDIA Tegra 2 a run for it's money, huge 4.3" qHD Super LCD display, very fast 8 megapixel, 30 fps 1080 HD video shooting camera and the new, updated HTC Sense UI.
HTC Sensation also has a new app called HTC Watch for video streaming and playback. It allows you to rent or buy movies directly to you phone.
The only thing not to like about HTC Sensation? Carrier exclusivity. It will be released only on Vodafone in mid May. Other carriers will get HTC Sensation in June.

Let the next chapter of conference reconfiguration begin. While the Atlantic Coast Conference was pondering its decision following the defection of Maryland, the Big East, which lost Rutgers to the Big Ten and may also lose Louisville and Connecticut to the ACC, made a move on Tuesday by adding Tulane in all sports starting in 2014 and East Carolina in football only, also starting in 2014.
""I think we're going to have a good football confererence" said Big East commissioner Mike Aresco who also is concerned about losing Louisville and/or UConn or even more Big East teams.
Aresco undestands the nature of the business which has changed the Big East into a wide-ranging Conference USA type of league.
"We're just doing what we're doing," said Aresco
It is difficult for even Bigeastologists to keep up with what the conference will look like when all the moves are made.
Let's start with football. Right now the Big East has 8 teams. It will lose Rutgers, which means 7 and could lose Louisville and UConn, which brings it down to 5.
But the Big East will add Boise State, San Diego State, SMU, Houston, Memphis and Central Florida next season which will bring it up to 11 or 12. Add Tulane and East Carolina and that makes it 13 or 14.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race
Friday, July 27, 2012
So, I'm starting to feel like a runner now, even though I'm not likely to break any land speed records at least anytime soon. Lately, I've been seeking out motivational sayings and posters to help keep me going with the running program and when I find one I like it goes on my bulletin board at work or in my running journal. Sparkpeople has some very good motivators on their new page. One of my favorites found there says, "Whether it's a 15-minute mile or a 7-minute mile, it's still a mile." Don't you love that one? I ran a little over 13 minutes per mile in my 2nd 5K which was last weekend. I felt very good about that time because it was much better than my time for the 5K last April which I mostly had to walk. I'm making good progress thanks to the training group I joined. I signed up for the next 12 week program because I'm afraid without the momentum of being in this group with the supportive running friends I've made and the super coaches that I'd never keep up with it on my own. This time around I'm in the 5K run program instead of the walk run. In the walk run program we built up our endurance by doing walking and running intervals. In this session we will pretty much just run -- not necessarily fast -- but work on running the entire distance. My new goal is to run my next 5k in less than 40 minutes. I'm sure I can do it -- I'm close! But just finishing will always be my primary goal.
I love how running is making me feel strong. It also de-stresses me and helps me sleep better at night. Running is something I never really thought I could do -- never even wanted to do, really, so it's been fun to see what I'm capable of and yes, even amaze myself a little bit. My life is really in transition right now, and I've found doing things that focus on me (for a change) has really helped me to move forward and not dwell on all the changes in my life over which I have no control. Another saying I posted where I can see it throughout the day is "Either you run the day or the day runs you." I love how much truth you can find in these short sentences. I'm really glad I've discovered running and how good it makes me feel. While I'm running, and sweating, and breathing hard I don't always remember that I love running. However, when I'm finished and reflecting on what just happened, I FEEL SO GOOD. I'm so grateful that I finally have discovered an activity that I love that can be done pretty much anywhere and for just the cost of a good pair of shoes (don't try to do this without good running shoes!). I hope I'll be able to keep this up for years to come.

I'm still at the run/walk stage for 5Ks, but I've done a bunch this year to challenge myself. I'm never been last, but I've definitely been close! A lady I chatted with after my last 5K said something that I think about and have written up in a "quote note" for my motivation board... "At least you were vertical crossing the finish line!" Yes, I was!

at this point you may not break a land speed record, but you are breaking a record for you!! I'm glad that you have found running is for you. I haven't found my activity yet. I wish you continued success on your new journey. I will be watching for your up date on breaking a personal record.
