It's official! The date for IHOP's National Pancake Day is Tuesday, March 4, 2014!
During National Pancake Day, the company's largest philanthropic event of the year, more than 1,500 IHOP restaurants across the country will invite guests to enjoy a complimentary stack of IHOP's signature delicious buttermilk pancakes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Guests will be encouraged to make a voluntary contribution to their local Children's Miracle Network Hospital (we encourage guests to contribute at least what they would have paid for the pancakes - or $5). And even better - guests who make a $5 donation will receive a coupon good for $5 off their next visit! One hundred percent of the donations will help local charities provide vital equipment, life-saving procedures and critical care for sick and injured children.

Nifty 50
The exclusive crowd who gathered at the opening of Uno de 50 in Galleria Dallas were the lucky ones to see the artisan jewelry boutique's offering of unique designs—each one made only 50 times. Guests sipped Cinco vodka while checking out the line of sterling silver jewelry mixed with leather, semiprecious stones and beads, in styles ranging from classic to tribal—and even a men's collection!

Why wait until the end of the baseball season when you can beat the rush?
The San Diego Padres announced just before Sunday afternoon's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers that General Manager Josh Byrnes had been "relieved of his duties."
Under new management, the Padres have their highest payroll ever -- in the $90 million range -- and went into the season with hopes of being competitive in the National League West. But as the All-Star break approaches, the Padres are struggling to stay out of the NL West cellar, and are historically bad offensively.
As if to underscore the announcement Sunday, the Padres lost to the Dodgers 2-1, falling to 32-44.
Mike Dee, brought in as team CEO late last season (and a former front-office co-worker of Byrnes in Boston a decade ago), made the announcement and said the team's recent poor performance on a road trip ratcheted up management's "sense of urgency" to make a change.
On that East Coast trip, Dee and ownership front man Ron Fowler, were seen conferring at several games. "We were led to believe this team was built to compete," Dee said. "We have not seen that so far. There's an old saying in baseball -- you are what your record says you are."
Fowler, who was a minority owner under previous ownership, noted, "When you invest 50 percent more in payroll, you expect results. It's a results-driven business."
Dee emphasized that manager Bud Black and his coaching staff are safe at least until the end of the season. Meanwhile, the search for a new GM begins immediately. "Maybe we get a jump on everybody who's going to look to change GM's at the end of the season," he said.
Dee said they will be looking for "the best baseball people." He said he wants a GM with a now-and-future blueprint and someone who exudes leadership. The top candidate, he said, "will have a near-, mid- and long-term vision of what we want to be as a franchise."
Despite relatively strong pitching, the team has sunk as the offense ranks last in the NL or in all of Major League Baseball in batting, slugging, on-base percentage and other key offensive benchmarks. If the Padres continue on their current course, they will produce the worst team batting average in franchise history, even worse than the 1969 expansion team that lost 110 games.
Many of those expected to be the team's best players -- Chase Headley, Jedd Gyorko, Carlos Quentin, Will Venable, Yasmani Grandal, Yonder Alonso -- are hitting near or below .200. Gyorko and Alonso are currently on the disabled list, Headley is playing with a ruptured disk in his lower back and Quentin constantly battles cranky knees..
But Dee said with the new ownership's commitment to building a consistent winner in San Diego, "this could be a pretty juicy job for someone who wants to be a GM."
Byrnes was previously general manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks, credited with bringing in such young stars as Paul Goldschmidt. In San Diego, no such luck.
Byrnes' duties will be taken over by Omar Minaya and assistant GM's AJ Hinch and Fred Uhlman Jr.

The New Year is always a great time for singles. It may be just another day in the calendar, but symbolically, it is much more. It represents a time of potential change, hope, and a fresh start for singles all over the world. So before you kick off 2014 on the wrong note, let's take a look at three goals that all you busy New York City singles should make as a priority for yourselves.
1. Make time for dating and drop the career obsession.
Too many city goers focus their entire youth on their careers. Before they know it, they wake up from those sixty hour weeks with full pockets, and an entire youth that has fleeted before their very eyes.
Being ambitious is good, but this year, try not to obsess about it. Make plenty of time for your dating life as well!
2. Get your mental health in order.
Whether it is dropping those extra pounds, joining the gym you've been meaning to join, getting a new haircut, or buying a fresh new wardrobe, get your mental health where it needs to be. Until you are fully confident, you will never be able to attract others into your life.
3. Make dating fun.
Too many singles treat dating like a business meeting. It is not an interview! Have fun. Try different activities. Do things that you don't normally do. The less you treat dating like a job, the more you will have the potential to find true romance.

What would be the ideal hardware setup for pushing lots of bandwith on a tube site?
We have ever-expanding cloud storage where users upload the movies, then we have these web-delivery machines which cache the FLV files on its local harddrives and deliver them to users. Each cache machine can deliver 1200 mbits/s , if it has SAS 8 harddrives. Such a cache machine costs us $550/month for 8x160gb -- so each machine can cache only 160GB at any given time.
If we want to cache more then 160gb , we need to add another machine..another $550/month..etc. This is very un-economical so I am wondering if we have any experts here who can figure out a better setup.
I've been looking into "gluster FS", but I am not sure if this thing can push a lot of bandwith.
Any ideas highly appreciated.
Thank you!

What's the deal with coconut water? We're seeing celebrities endorsing it like it's going out of style. Is it going out of style? We read in a magazine that Taylor Swift thinks it makes her hair healthier and that it gives her more energy. We don't know about that, but we do know that coconut water is full of minerals. Maybe we'll switch from Gatorade to Harvest Bay Coconut Water ($21 for twelve).

Carmex Original Carmex Stick Reviews
Carmex is my favorite!I use Carmex daily. I use it under my lipstick. It softens and conditions my lips. I'm never without it! — 8 years, 2 months agojeannawv | 1 reviews

This stuff works greatOf all the chap sticks I've tried, this one is my favorite. Makes my lips feel great! I've been using this product for many years and it's a favorite of my friends too! Can't beat the price either! — 8 years, 3 months agoMelsrap | 3 reviews

best lip balm I've ever used!During the winter months my lips get incredibly chapped. I tried everything- Vaseline, Blistex, Blistex Medicated Lip Ointment, Burt's Bees, etc.- but still my lips were harshly chapped. Then my aunt, who is a pharmacist, recommended Carmex. At first I was sceptical, but after just one use my lips already felt smooth and moisturized. The only negative thing I could say about this product is that i...read moret goes ona little thick and it doesn't have much of a shine. All-in-all, this lip balm is by far the best I've ever used. — 8 years, 4 months agoS | 5 reviews

Don't leave home without it!Carmex is a staple for me, and I keep a tube in my purse, my car, my desk drawer and my cosmetics drawer. It's cheap and always effective...I've never found anything that works better. I can actually feel it penetrating my lips immediately upon application, and it keeps my lips smooth and moist for hours. — 8 years, 4 months agolwoodlaw | 60 reviews
Great BuyCarmex is a must have for me. It keeps my lips from getting chapped and leaves them feeling smooth. I use both regular carmex and the SPF stick. The only caution is do not use the "regular" caremx at the beach, it leaves your lips shiny and attracts the sun. — 8 years, 4 months agohensler | 3 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 6 people said helpful
A must-haveI have used Carmex for a while now but recently started using the Strawberry click-stick. I cannot get through the day without this lip balm! The Strawberry scent is wonderful and not overpowering and my lips are always soothed when I use this. It's great for severely chapped lips or for every-day use. Plus the price (usually .88!) can't be beat. — 8 years, 4 months agoBrookePio | 1 reviews
Reliable FavoriteI use the regular flavor Carmex all day and all night to stop me from licking my lips since I always do that and make my lips chapped very easily. Carmex ALWAYS lasts for hours and hours, and I can put some on before bed and it would last all night. Can't beat a hint of SPF when one easily forgets to protect their lips as well! — 8 years, 6 months agoSarKenobi | 17 reviews
CherryI love the cherry carmex. It is fever moist on the lips, as all carmex is, and it has a cherry smell to it that smells better than original carmex. I love the stick better than the jars because sometimes I need my carmex and don't have to worry if i have something on my finger before I put it in the jar. — 8 years, 6 months agobuzzy68 | 3 reviews
It's all about Carmex STRAWBERRYFor any Carmex addict, this is it. This has an SPF of 15 which is great. Easy application, and the Click Stick is a cinch. If you like Carmex, and you like strawberry, this one is a no brainer. (It has the typical Carmex smell with a dash of strawberry) LOVE it. — 8 years, 6 months agoperkup1 | 3 reviews

The disorganization in the Whig ranks
seems to spread with similar rapidity in the

soon be beyond the reach of the originators
of the movement. From a feeling of dis
content, the disaffection has gradually
grown into a settled conviction on the part
of thousands, that their position of hostili

which they have to perform, as moral and
religious men.

Delays to repairs on crane hit by helicopter in Vauxhall
10:05 01 February 2013
High winds have led to repair work to the crane which was hit by a helicopter in Vauxhall being behind schedule.
The helicopter crashed to the ground in Wandsworth Road on January 16 after clipping the crane on top of a building under construction in Nine Elms Lane.
Transport for London (TfL) said today that due to the recent high winds and heavy fog around the Vauxhall area, work by Brookfield Multiplex, the construction company which owns the crane, will now not be able to take place this weekend.
Instead, the 800 tonne, 190m temporary crane on St Geroges Tower will be removed between February 9 and February 11, leading to a closure of the Vauxhall Gyratory system.
During this closure, diversions will be temporarily reinstated to direct traffic away from the area.
Nine Elms Lane remains closed between Battersea Park Road and the Vauxhall one way system in both directions.
TfL said that because of the extended closure of Nine Elms Lane it has coordinated a number of additional works which were scheduled for the coming months to take place next week, to help reduce disruption to the area in the future. This includes utility and resurfacing associated with the US Embassy works and maintenance works to the TfL Road Network.
Leon Daniels, managing director of surface transport at TfL, said: "Our staff and contractors continue to work around the clock to minimise disruption to people travelling through the Vauxhall area following the recent terrible incident.
"While I can appreciate the frustration that local businesses and road users are feeling about these prolonged road closures, the nature of these works means that they need to be carried out with the highest level of safety.
"We continue to work closely with all involved to complete these works as quickly and as safely as possible."

Progress continues on the Holden Mine Cleanup Project following the official issuance of the site improvement and project plan approval.
The Forest Service and the EPA have jointly issued a Unilateral Administrative Order (UAO) to Intalco Aluminum for the Holden Mine Project near Lucerne on the upper end of Lake Chelan. The order requires Intalco to implement the remedy identified in the January 2012, Record of Decision for the project. It is a guide for both the remedy implementation and post remedy actions including monitoring and maintenance.
One key site improvement for this season is the installation of the temporary bypass bridge across Railroad Creek. This bridge will help reroute project traffic to and from the mine site without having to travel through the neighboring Holden Village.
The Forest Service has also approved plans for the development of land based construction for the Lucerne Barge landing adjacent to the current Forest Service public dock at Lucerne. This prep work includes the development of a staging area, improvements to vehicle turnaround, and a marked pedestrian route for Lady of the Lake passengers and Holden Village visitors. This construction will not interfere will the Holden Village bus schedule or the Lady of theLake passenger ferry schedule.
These efforts are part of the early work in preparation for the major construction for the Holden Mine Remediation Project.

Host Sam Roberts: "But you pointed out that this is a particularly inopportune time for this latest sex scandal to break in Washington. Why is that?"
Michael Shear: "Lots of policy and we're going to start with the sex scandal! That's fine. Yeah, it's not a good time for Democrats."
So what vital hard-core political news did Shear spend the entire following day covering to compensate for having to discuss Weinergate? The three-year-old trove of Sarah Palin emails from her stint as governor of Alaska, of course.
Sarah Palin's tanned good looks may have gotten a bit of help.
An e-mail from the manager of the governor's house to Ms. Palin in early 2008 makes clear that Ms. Palin had inquired about the possibility of installing a tanning bed in the house.
But even the tanning bed "scoop" is old news. Kate Phillips covered it on the "Caucus [3]" back on September 17, 2008, and the anecdote showed up intermittently in the Times when the paper's liberal columnists needed a Palin joke.
Shear ran an update Saturday morning under a headline, "News Outlets Pounce on Palin E-Mails [4]," that was an implicit confession the news value of the Palin emails were the political equivalent of the Al Capone vault [5] (reference courtesy Allahpundit). After admitting "there were no major revelations" in the emails, Shear, showing chutzpah, worked in a crack at Fox News for refusing to join the liberal media hit parade on Palin:
A review in the morning of Web sites for news organizations and major blogs found that most gave the story prominent play, with large headlines and, in some cases, multiple articles.
One exception: Fox News, where Ms. Palin is a paid commentator. The network's home page offered one link to its article with the headline "Palin E-Mails Reveal Harsh Scrutiny After VP Pick." It came above an article about a fight on an airliner and below one about Turkish preparations for elections.
As if the overdose of Palin coverage was justified because all the other members of the liberal media were doing the same thing.
On Saturday, media reporter Jeremy Peters, to his credit, covered critics of the media's anti-Palin overkill, "Critics Fume Over Intensity of News Coverage for Palin's Messages [6]."
News organizations mobilized teams of reporters and even recruited online volunteers to scan more than 24,000 pages of e-mails from Sarah Palin that were released on Friday, prompting some critics to accuse the news media of overkill at best and vigilantism at worst.
The New York Times and The Guardian sent reporters armed with scanners and then solicited readers' assistance. Politico enlisted a dozen editors, reporters and interns who worked as a team from their Northern Virginia newsroom "plowing through" the documents, as one editor described it. The Washington Post initially asked for 100 volunteers to sift through the documents. They were quickly overwhelmed with too many applicants. Unable to screen all of them, the paper abandoned the plan late Thursday, opting instead to invite reader comments.
Were news organizations Dumpster diving, as one outraged reader of The Washington Post put it?
News outlets insisted that they were trying to be as thorough and efficient as possible while reporting on information that the public was entitled to know.
"This is not a witch hunt," said Jim Roberts, an assistant managing editor at The Times. "There are 25,000 documents here, and we can use all the eyeballs we can get."
Greta Van Susteren, the Fox News host, asked if all the fuss amounted to a "media colonoscopy," and pointed to comments from her readers who asked whether news organizations had devoted such energy to the 2,800-page health care overhaul bill that passed last year.

Academy scholar learns from experience
Wolves Academy scholar Ben O'Hanlon has headed into the new campaign on the crest of a wave after landing further England recognition at the pre-season Nordic tournament in the Faroe Islands.
Telford-based O'Hanlon followed up his Victory Shield appearances for England at Under-16 level last season by turning out for the Under-17s in three of the tournament's fixtures last month.
Wolves Academy manager Kevin Thelwell was delighted to see O'Hanlon graduate to the Under-17 ranks, ahead of hopefully being involved in European Championships qualifiers in Estonia next month.
"Ben was called up for the Nordics which was an Under-17 tournament in the Faroe Islands," Thelwell confirms.
"Of the four games England played there Ben played in two-and-a-half.
"It proved very good experience for him and building on what he learned from being involved in the Victory Shield last season.
"It shows what the England selectors think of him and the feedback has been very positive about his performances.
"We talk about the value of our young lads playing international football and have a lot involved from Under-12 level upwards.
"To be involved and play for England is a terrific boost and will really help Ben's football education.
"He can now take all those experiences into life here at Wolves as he starts his first year as a full-time scholar.
"He's had a great pre-season with us, has then spent eight or nine days away playing for his country, and can now head into the campaign aiming to push on again."

Webinar: Access to Oracle Applications with Oracle Secure Global Desktop
By ThinGuy on Nov 17, 2010
Get more info and register here.
Get more info and register here.
A few webcasts that were shown live during the week of Oracle OpenWorld/JavaOne/Oracle Develop.
Michael Dann discusses the eco-friendly aspects of the new Sun Ray 3 family:
On August 19th from 9 AM until 3 PM, Oracle will be hosting an Online Virtualization Forum that covers our v12n technology from the Desktop to the Datacenter. What I'm really impressed by is the two people that will comprise the "panel". Former Sun hardware guru and now Oracle's Executive Vice President of Systems John Fowler and my boss's boss's boss, Oracle's Chief Corporate Architect Edward Screven.
Folks, these are what we call "Big Guns". What's more, they are extremely intelligent...no scratch that. They are "scary smart". Be honest, you've sat through more than your share of executives pitching things they could care less about. These two gentlemen are in a different league. Passionate is the best word that describes them.
I'm sure long time followers of Think Thin are more than familiar with the Executive branch of "the company formerly known as Sun Microsystems" and you've seen John Fowler many times. But unless you were an Oracle customer, you may not have had the chance to hear Edward Screven speak. With absolutely zero patronizing involved here (like he reads this blog), watch him. He's brilliant. He gets it. And by "it" I mean pretty much anything you could imagine, but specifically he gets VDI.
If there's one thing I've learned about the executives at Oracle, it's that they don't mess around. You wouldn't get this caliber of people talking about the entire virtualization stack if Oracle was not committed to it. I've also noticed, "Committed" = "Wants to dominate" in Oracle speak.
So to the v12n world out there, and specifically the VDI market, watch out. The "Big Guns" are about to fire a warning shot across the bow of the marketplace. To paraphrase Al Pacino's character in "Scent of a Woman", We are just getting warmed up.
From page four of Oracle's Oracle and Sun Overview and FAQ
"Yes, Oracle plans to continue Sun's "desktop to datacenter virtualization" strategy and integrate with Oracle's virtualization products. By unifying management across desktop virtualization, server virtualization, storage virtualization, and network virtualization, Oracle and Sun provide comprehensive, flexible, eco-efficient solutions to maximize utilization, consolidate to reduce costs, increase productivity, and decrease management complexity.
We expect to continue Sun's desktop virtualization products: VDI, Secure Global Desktop, Sun Ray, and VirtualBox."
Ed note: Recommended Music to Read By
Additionally HERE you can find some instructions/scripts which can help to install, configure and connect your SGD server to Active Directory.
Hot off the presses is Sun's Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Software 2.0, just released last night. Included is the new Sun Virtual Desktop Connector, acting as a broker between Sun Ray and Secure Global Desktop infrastructure and VMware virtual machines. This solution provides exceptional flexibility in deploying virtual desktops in an easy, secure manner to both Sun Ray clients as well as a variety of other clients, with a choice of desktop operating systems, including Windows, Solaris and Linux. This would probably be a good time to note our recent announcement of entering an OEM agreement with VMware, making it that much easier for a complete solution from Sun.
Heck, so many interesting things happening in this space, it's hard to keep track of it all. Wouldn't want to miss our purchase of innotek and their VirtualBox technology, an open source virtualization software technology that allows running virtual machines under a variety of host operating systems to run many different guest OSes, including Solaris, Linux, Windows and OS X. Nor would I want to forget the ongoing work incorporating Xen open source technology into both OpenSolaris, and into xVM Server, giving you the ability to run guest operating systems with no hypervisor knowledge as usual, and those guest operating systems that are hypervisor aware and can take advantage of performance enhancements through direct hypervisor calls.
Found some time this week, so here is the next part.
From January 15th through the 18th, Sun will be holding a Software Event in Grenoble, France. Days 1 and 2 will be focused on Sun Ray, Secure Global Desktop, and the Sun VDI solution. I will be presenting along with Andy and Dirk. We're even trying to get Matt to come to cover Sun Ray Server in conjunction with S10 Trusted Extensions.
Alexis' blog has the details on how to register for the FREE event.
Hope to see you there.

Celebrate the bounty of Oregon farms and vineyards dining with Chef Pascal Chureau of Allium Bistro at his second annual Dinners in the Field series, by Field & Vine Events. The first dinner will feature a French/Dutch twist at Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn, Oregon on May 3, 2014
Chureau, who hails from the Bordeaux region of France, is teaming with Chef Willem Paul Klitsie, a native of the Netherlands and chef/owner of Willem's on Main in Vancouver, Washington and of the now-closed Fratelli in the Pearl District. They will collaborate on a seven-course meal of fresh seasonal ingredients from the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm. They welcome engaging with their guests as they cook over an open flame and serve the guests at communal tables set up on the farm. The meal is paired with beer and wine from nearby wineries and breweries.
The host farmer will give a tour of the locale, and join with the winemaker to describe more about the ingredients of the meal and producing the food and wine. The Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm dinner is one of several in the series that benefit the Oregon Farm Loop, supporting public educational activities about the farming community, including the Canby Area Farm Loop.
The tulips should still be in bloom for the May 3 dinner. Ross and Dorothy Iverson purchased the farm in 1950 and began growing tulips in 1974. Today, the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm Tulip Fest is a must-see spring destination, with colorful tulip fields extending to the horizon. The featured winemaker will be Hanson Vineyards of Woodburn.
Chureau is known for his Neighborhood Dinners and winemaker dinners at Allium Bistro in West Linn, Oregon. His Field & Vine Events catering company hosts events and parties throughout the area.
The cost for each dinner is $80 to $90 per person, which includes the dinner, wine, beer and gratuity. Tickets must be purchased in advance. In fair weather, the tables are set up outdoors so diners can enjoy the sights and sounds of the farm. If rain threatens, dinner is under a tent or in the barn.

Full text not available from this repository.
After mulling over whether China and India should divide hydrocarbon reserves among themselves, the Government of India has told its energy majors to sign up more contracts no matter what. But Delhi is in a bind. To compete with China's oil giants, India's energy firms will have to bulk up. If they do, they risk triggering a new round of resource contestation India cannot win – or can it?

sunday stash: more vintage love
March 28, 2010
7 comments:
This looks like heaven! So lucky that you are close by. It's it sad how so many of these places are closing down these days? Have fun with your stash :) KReplyDelete
Sounds like heaven. I am going to have to try and get there.ReplyDelete
Haven't been down there for years, will have to make the effort soon.ReplyDelete
- sasha g.March 29, 2010 at 12:35 AM
I love that place. Yes, even a whole day is not enough to get through all the gorgeousness. I was there last month for a few hours & only bought one gorgeous stool (covered in the most prettiest vintage fabric)...couldnt resist and it looks lovely in my bedroom.ReplyDelete
Why is it closing down? Will have to find out when! I couldn't stand missing out on another expedition there! :-) I have dreams of that place!!! Maybe i should go again while i have the time.
It is so sad that its closing. Why are all the great places going??? melbourne is losing all the great furniture places. where are we to go for bargains?
I soooooo need to find that place on our next trip sown that way. it sounds like you had the perfect afternoon.ReplyDelete
I'm a stall holder at the Mornington Antique Centre and hopefully it will be open till at least September. The owners are then hoping to relocate nearby so we'll still be able to provide a great range of antiques, old wares and vintage fabric and clothing. Another new antique centre is opening on May 1st 2010 at 2 Collins Rd Dromana. Some of the stall holders from Mornington are opening there also, so that's worth checking out.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 6, 2010 at 3:30 PM
Yes the Mornington Antique Center is closing in September but there is a very similar but even better place (much cleaner, not as huge and beautifully set out) called The Vintage Shed that has opened up in Tyabb, just down the road from the packing house. They have a lot of great stuff and are also about to open up a vintage clothing boutique. It is excellent, staff are so helpful, highly reccommend you check it out - website too. www.thevintageshed.com.auReplyDelete

Oracle helping you switch to GlassFish?
By Herring on Jun 24, 2008
Sometimes what competitors do really help with our own marketing efforts. With the flood of customers downloading GlassFish and MySQL, I was wondering what was up and thanks to Eduardo for putting his finger on the compelling event -- forget the economy, Oracle raises it prices!
I encourage you to try out an alternative, TCO friendly option of MySQL and GlassFish. What is there to lose? Oh perhaps a few payments to Oracle!

It's the worst feeling.
Bed head.
Maybe you wake up in the morning and don't have time to shower. Possibly you had a rough night and face that inevitable"walk of shame" to get home. Or maybe you've been wearing that ball cap all day and now your friends are headed to a semi-nice restaurant where you don't want to enter looking like your been pulling an allnighter for that calculus final.
Max Valverde, founder of the revolutionary Morninghead cap has helped people in 45 countries (and counting) not only get 10 more minutes of sleep when they need it the most, but also help people look their best when they may not be at their best.
"We're giving busy people time for breakfast," explains Valverde. "We're making your life less hectic."
All with the Morninghead cap.
It looks like a shower cap, and it is, but without the shower.
The Morninghead cap can trap more than six times its weight in water with no drip or spill. It's easy- fill the cap with water, put the cap over your head, apply the necessary pressure, take the cap off your head and then you can dry your hair off with a towel.
Then after use, turn the cap inside out and wring the water out. Morninghead can be used more than 100 times and be hand-washed or washed in a machine.
Morninghead is your chance to eliminate bed head, hat hair, bike hair, nap hair and more.

Like all of its fellow Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) components, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) pays a dividend. Microsoft's quarterly payouts add up to a 2.5% yield these days, and the software giant's dividend policy stretches back to 2003.
With more than a decade of steady payouts behind it, Redmond is building a respectable dividend history. And that 2.5% yield is just below the 2.6% average yield among Dow stocks. Is it time to take Microsoft seriously as an income-generating investment?
The company has shown a remarkable commitment to growing its dividend payouts. Let's leave the first couple years out of this discussion, as they were skewed by a massive special dividend of $3 per share in 2004. The policy has seen eight increases over the last nine years, taking a break from payout boosts amid the 2008-2009 financial crisis.
Over this span, the annual payouts have more than tripled with a 250% increase. That works out to an average increase of 14.9% a year, including that flatline two-year span between increases.
Not bad at all. But how much longer can Microsoft keep the dividend boosts coming?
Microsoft has grown its free cash flow by 72% over the nine years under our microscope, which is much slower than the payout growth rate. However, the company started out with plenty of headroom for future growth. So even today, after nearly a decade of rampant dividend increases, Microsoft pours just 37.5% of its free cash into printing quarterly dividend checks.
I'll note that the cash payout ratio is rising quickly these days. Microsoft's cash flow topped out in 2012 and has been on the decline ever since. Meanwhile, the 22% dividend increase near the end of 2013 was among the most generous jumps in the company's dividend-paying history.
However, that 37.5% payout ratio still leaves 62.5% of Microsoft's cash flow open for discussion. The company used $8.5 billion of its $22.7 billion in free cash flow to finance dividend payouts over the last four quarters. Meanwhile, it used $6.6 billion to repurchase and retire Microsoft shares.
What if Microsoft simply gave up on buybacks and funneled that budget straight into dividend increases? You'd end up with a 66% cash payout ratio and something like a 4.4% dividend yield.
Of course, that thought experiment makes a ton of unreasonable assumptions. Microsoft isn't likely to change its cash-sharing policies that drastically overnight, and share prices tend to make large moves when such radical dividend makeovers are announced. But, given a perfect world in which sudden policy changes happen, market prices don't react to game-changing news, friction is zero, and all cows are perfectly spherical, that's what we'd get.
In this highly unlikely scenario, dividend yields would explode to 4.4%, making Microsoft the second-best yielder on the Dow today. And even then, you could argue that the dividend still had room to grow: AT&T (NYSE:T) uses 74% of its free cash flow to produce the Dow's highest yield today.
In short, there's no reason to believe Microsoft needs to scale back its dividend boosts anytime soon. And if recently appointed CEO Satya Nadella can kick-start Microsoft's stalled innovation engines, the dividend policy should get even larger adrenaline shots in coming years.
Don't be scared of Microsoft's dividends. The company is poised to keep them flowing for many years yet.
Top dividend stocks for the next decade
There's more to successful dividend investing than simply locating the highest available yields. The smartest investors know that dividend stocks simply crush their nondividend-paying counterparts over the long term. That's beyond dispute. They also know that a well-constructed dividend portfolio creates wealth steadily, while still allowing you to sleep like a baby. Knowing how valuable such a portfolio might be, our top analysts put together a report on a group of high-yielding stocks that should be in any income investor's portfolio.

In the microscopic evacuation model, the desired direction of the pedestrian is consistent with the minimum-distance direction. However, the minimum-distance route may not same as the minimum-time route. The evacuation time is made up with the movement time to the exit and waiting time at the exit. The movement time is determined by the exit location, while the waiting time is determined by pedestrian distribution and exit width. The microscopic model usually solves the exit choice based on the distance, and other constraints are rarely taken into account. However, in some cases, the shortest distance does not necessarily guarantee the minimum evacuation time. For example, when there is a high occupant density around the nearest exit, the pedestrian will spend a lot of waiting time if he chooses the nearest exit. Instead, if he changes his option to select a farther exit, he may leave more quickly if there is a low occupant density around the exit. Moreover, suppose there are two optional exits, one of which has a shorter distance and smaller width, the other has a longer distance and larger exit width. Choosing the nearer exit rather than the farther one may spend more time because the exit width is too small to let the crowd pass quickly. The key of solving this issue is to help the pedestrian know how long he will wait at the exit. The waiting time is related to the pedestrian distribution and exit width. Thus, the individual evacuation time is not only related to the distance but also the pedestrian distribution and exit width. When choosing the exit, not only the exit position (evacuation distance) should be considered in estimating the evacuation time, but also the pedestrian distribution and exit width.
In this paper, the optimal exit choice algorithm is presented based on the microscopic model. The algorithm aims at the shortest individual evacuation time which is calculated in iterative method. The factors such as pedestrian distribution, exit position and exit width are all involved in the time evaluation function in the algorithm. Taking a room with multiple exits as an example, the cellular automata model is applied to simulate the evacuation process, and the evacuation time with optimized and non-optimized exit choice are compared and analyzed.
To be noticed, for the reason that during the evacuation process, nervous and herding might influence the exit chosen behavior, the occupants might not change their decision as long as the exit they chose is available. As a consequence, in the present article we do not intend to introduce dynamical method to determine the exit option of the occupants. What is more, frequently changing signal of exit signs could induce potential crowd disaster when occupants follow these signals and change their moving directions from time to time. As a result, the optimal exit selection method is a statistic algorithm.
The exit choice for each pedestrian is visually displayed by the exit selection zoning map. The zones occupied by pedestrians with different colors are associated with different exits. Each zone covered with the same color corresponds to one exit.
The results show that under the influence of the optimized exit choice, some people no longer choose the nearest exit but the exit with larger width or with lower occupant density around. The algorithm solves the problems of uneven and inadequate utilization of the exit in the evacuation.
As the exit choice changed, the evacuation time through each exit changed accordingly. The overall evacuation time, namely the maximum value, is the time when all the pedestrians leave the room. It is found that the overall evacuation time drops from the 850s to 564s for the optimized exit choice, which indicates that the evacuation efficiency increases by 33.64%.
The standard deviation of the evacuation time can reflect the uniformity of the exit utilization. The higher the value of the standard deviation is, the greater the difference of exit utilization is. The results show that the standard deviation of the evacuation time for the original exit choice is 195s, while the value for the optimized exit choice is 145s. It indicates that adopting the optimized exit choice realized the diversion of the crowd flow during the evacuation, and the waiting time was distributed approximately evenly.
Idle time of an exit is defined as the difference between the overall evacuation time and the evacuation time of the exit. It is found that compared to the original exit choice, the idle time for all exits with optimized exit choice decreases greatly. For the original choice, the average idle time is 520s and the maximum idle time is 781s. When taking optimized choice, the average idle time reduces to 226s and the maximum idle time 454s. The average idle time drops by 56.54%, which demonstrates that taking optimized exit choice effectively reduces the vacancy rate of the exit and enhances the utilization greatly.
The optimal algorithm gives the exit selection zone map which can provide reference for planning evacuation. As one evacuee cannot get global information of all evacuees in the room, they may choose the nearest exit but need to wait for a long time. Thus, it is necessary to guide evacuees to the most proper exits from the global perspective. The dividing line between different exit selection zones is the key to allocate evacuees. In case of emergency, the executor should assign some guiders near the dividing line to conduct evacuees to an optimal exit according to the zone map. In fact, the exit selection zone map from the results provides the placement of guiders and the guiding direction to the designer.

The newest Grosse Pointe Eagle Scouts
Ann L. Fouty Features Editor
write the author
June 27, 2013
Five young men from Grosse Pointe's Boy Scout Troop 96 were awarded the rank of Eagle Scout during a Court of Honor ceremony June 3 at Grosse Pointe Memorial Church.
Those honored were Michael Caruso, Connor Coyle, Stephen Fleming, Alex Lagrou and Jacob Malbouef. State representative Alberta Tinsley-Talabi presented the scouts with tributes signed by Gov. Rick Snyder.
The rank is the highest in scouting and few attain it. To achieve the rank, each scout has advanced through seven scouting ranks, earned at least 21 merit badges, initiated, led and organized a community service project and incorporated scouting into his life.
Connor Coyle
The son of Thom and Elise Coyle and brother of Elizabeth, Connor Coyle's Eagle project benefitted second graders attending Most Holy Trinity and Ste. Anne de Detroit Catholic churches. He led a clothing drive in Grosse Pointe, Bloomfield Hills and Birmingham Catholic churches to gather dresses, veils, pants and ties for children who were making their first communion at these churches and in need of appropriate clothing.
His most memorable scouting experience, he said, was "When I was a first or second year scout, I learned 'cotton kills,'" he said. "On a winter camp out I was walking in the woods while wearing cotton socks, which retain much more moisture than wool or nylon socks. I began to feel faint. Some of the older scouts came across me in the woods, noticed I was cold and on the verge of hypothermia and carried me back to camp. I will never forget that event and because of it I created friendships with scouts that I still share today."
Coyle is active in the Grosse Pointe South High School art program, is a tutor at Grace United Church of Christ, an assistant track coach at Brownell Middle School and a University Liggett School day camp counselor. During his years at South, Coyle was a varsity athlete on the cross country team.
A resident of Grosse Pointe Farms, Coyle graduated from Grosse Pointe South High School and will attend Central Michigan University in the fall to become either a secondary or special education teacher.
"My experience in Boy Scouts helped guide my decision to become a teacher. I love helping a scout learn essential new skills and advance in rank. That same process of teaching is something I want to do every day," he said.
Coyle has been in scouting for 12 years and earned 23 badges.
Michael Caruso
Grosse Pointe Woods resident Michael Caruso's Eagle Scout project created a garden for Montieth Elementary special needs students. He said the reason for the project was to give these students something they can care for and a "place to call their own." It also gives other students a spot to sit and reflect.
"I did all the planning and mainly supervised the scout volunteers," he said.
Caruso's best scout memories include traveling to Philmont, N.M., for National Advanced Youth Leadership Experience and the hiking trek which, he said, deepened friendships with other scouts and taught him how to be a leader. Caruso has earned 27 merit badges and the aviation badge was his most significant, he said.
Scouts enjoy summer camp and it was no different with Caruso. "The summer camps I attended were also very fun. I got to do things that people hardly ever get to do and learn things that aren't generally known."
A junior at Grosse Pointe North High School, he is enrolled in honors and AP classes, maintaining a 3.8 GPA. He also was part of the stage crew for plays produced at North.
His hobbies are model building, drawing, painting, sculpting, graphic design and playing video games. Caruso is an employee with Lakeland Banquet Center.
He hasn't settled on a college yet, but is looking at Michigan State University, the College of Creative Studies and California Institute of the Arts with possible majors of art, science, history or foods.
"I want a job that I can enjoy instead of walking in every day with a rain cloud above my head. I want to work with my hands and create things whether it be drawing something or cooking something creative and delicious," he said.
Caruso is the son of Lisa Caruso-Spreder and Mike Caruso and has a sister, Alex, and two step-brothers, David and Don Spreder.
Stephen Fleming
Stephen Fleming's Eagle project was leading a scouting contingent in cleaning out the St. Leo Catholic Church choir space. They scraped old paint off the walls, repaired the floors and walls and constructed shelves to store equipment.
"My favorite Boy Scout memory is definitely my backpacking trip to Philmont, N.M.," he said. "The most valuable things I think I learned are my first aid skills."
During his high school years, Fleming enjoyed art and music classes and plays bass guitar in a jazz band and at his church. Fleming also trains in mixed martial arts and is an accomplished trumpet player.
He is considering majoring in business management at Wayne State University to become either a retail store owner or a radio broadcaster.
Fleming is the son of Ed and Terri Fleming and has an older brother, Eddie.
Alex Lagrou
The son of Frank and Tina Lagrou, Alex Lagrou held a pet food drive to which he donated the bags and cans to the Michigan Humane Society to help feed both the shelter animals and families with pets who might not be able to afford food.
He, too, found a trip to the scout ranch in New Mexico to be the most memorable part of his scouting career.
"Philmont when we reached the top of Mt. Phillips and being there with my crew," he said of his best scouting memory. "We got to watch the sunset and it was truly a magical moment in my life and a moment I will never forget."
He has participated in varsity swimming and pole vaulting. He also plays guitar and piano. His summer goal is to learn to play the ukulele.
Lagrou will attend Central Michigan University to major in business to become a music producer. "But being in marketing or being the CEO of a company would be pretty cool, too," he said.
He has two siblings, Liesel and Lilly.
Jacob Malbouef
Jacob Malbouef, the son of TJ and Maureen Malbouef, lives in the City of Grosse Pointe. He built a Ga Ga court on Maire Elementary School's playground. Ga Ga is a free-for-all dodgeball style game. Played in a large fenced in arena, the goal is to tag people out by hitting them with a ball below waist level. The ball must be hit with an open hand.
"The school's playground recently underwent a major renovation when the staff parking lot was moved and the new playground was built where the old (parking) lot was," he said. "After hearing about how popular the court at Kerby is, I decided to check with Maire to see if they'd have any interest. The students all love playing in the court and (I) hear there is hardly a day it doesn't get used at recess."
Malbouef had to raise $350, draft the plans and purchase the material. With 20 volunteers, the project was completed in a weekend.
"My uncle, a part-time fence builder, provided a ton of insight and some tools to help us get the nine posts installed, which was followed by hanging boards and finish sanding," he said.
Malbouef's favorite scouting memory was at Philmont, N.M.
"The time I overcame my fear of heights and climbed/rapelled up and down a sandstone climbing wall at Philmont," he said.
"I learned from experience that you shouldn't let Eagle rank requirements drag out until the last minute. The stress it causes just isn't worth it. Now that I'm an assistant scout master, I always try to mention that during (scout master) conferences."
A member of the Grosse Pointe South High School's National Honor Society and South's symphony, Malbouef plays the piano. He is a volunteer at the Redford Movie Theatre and a volunteer and member of the Detroit Historical Museum's Glancy Train's Modular Train Club. He is both an apprentice and volunteer at Greenfield Village's roundhouse.
He will attend Lawrence Tech University in the fall to study architectural engineering. Malbouef's siblings are Stephen and Mary.

PHOTOS! Here are pictures of Geisy Arruda, the Brazilian student expelled for a mini skirt. Geisy Arruda (fotos below) went to YouTube fame in Brazil in late October. But as profiled on LALATE earlier Sunday, Arruda's story is now captivating the U.S.
Geisy Arruda is a beautiful 20 year old student at the private university of La Universidad Bandeirante (Bandeirante University). The university is located in the in Sao Bernardo do Campo, a wealthy section of Sao Paulo. But while Brazil is usually known for its Carnival, a carnival atmosphere of near rioting students – male and female – occurred on October 22, 2009 at the school over Arruda.
Why? Because Arruda showed up wearing a mini skirt. But is this pink mini skirt really that mini?

By all accounts, the dress is not that mini. So would Brazil, of all countries, have 700 students near riot over a dress?
On October 22 at 8:30 pm, Geisy went to the school restroom with friend Kelly Andrezzil. There, 20 girls went at Geisy. Andrezzi said:
"I was very afraid of what could happen, but I could not have imagined what was about to come, students were cursing Geisy, calling her ugly names and accusing her of drawing too much attention, even threatening to beat her up."
Male students started to break into the female restroom. Amanda de Souza Augusto remembers:
"We had to slap, clinch and fight with the boys, who were trying to go into the bathroom, and trying to put cell phones between Geisy's legs. It was an aggression, an injustice against her."
At this point, the situation became serious with allegations of threats of assault. When security were able to assist Arruda out of the restroom, male students started to take camera cellphone photos and record videos, that would eventually get uploaded to YouTube.
In the end Geisy Arruda had to put on the teacher's white jacket and be escorted out. Thereafter the school published a note in the São Paulo daily newspapers (that by some accounts is described as an "advertisement"). It read "Educational Responsibility – Education is made with attitude not complacency" and found that Geisy Arruda's conduct had "resulted in a collective reaction in defense of the school environment."
The advertisement claimed Geisy Arruda was formally expelled. Arruda claims she never received a direct letter telling her she was expelled and was told she could return.
From there, Geisy Arruda would be booked across national tv talk shows, often appearing in or with the infamous pink-ish mini skirt, sometimes in dressed, sometimes in pants.
The story would not end there.
Thereafter, the university retained an attorney who would issue statements about Arruda's conduct. Universidade Bandeirantes' lawyer, Josias de Souza, reportedly issued a statement that Arruda "always liked to provoke boys, the problem was not with her clothes, but the way she acts, talks, crosses her legs, and walks."
But while the story may seem like something for old talk show, the Brazilian government is now taking it serious. Reports say the Minister Nilcéa Freire from the Special Secretariat of Policies for Women (SPM) and the Ministry of Education are now looking at the situation.
Arruda has told local press that the event was "absurd". Geisy Arruda adds she has never been sent a letter confirming being kicked out of the university and has only learned it through press. Geisy Arruda says she was told by school officials she could return.
