BERKELEY -- It's a drizzly cold Tuesday evening and Berkeley Fire Chief Debra Pryor is outside the city's public safety building talking to a homeless man with two shopping carts piled high with possessions.
The man loops in and out of lucidity, but Pryor doesn't appear annoyed, pressed for time or afraid. She listens and talks to him, then politely wraps it up and approaches a second man to ask if he needs help deciphering the front desk hours of the police station.
Pryor, 51, is retiring Friday after 27 years in the fire department and 27 years of smashing race and gender barriers: she was the city's first female firefighter, its first female fire chief and the second black female fire chief in the country behind Rosemary Cloud of East Point, Ga. (Earlier this year Oakland named Teresa Deloach Reed as its fire chief, making her the first black woman fire chief of a major metropolitan city.)
On this rainy Tuesday night in front of Berkeley's public safety building, Pryor isn't snug and warm at home with her feet up counting her contributions to humanity or the approximately $170,000 a year city pension she'll get. She's outside the city's public safety building talking to a homeless man, and that suits her fine.
"I see this guy a lot," Pryor said later. "Regardless of his situation or his mental health status, he's a member of the community, I'm the fire chief, he recognizes me and I think it is part of my responsibility to listen."
Lots of firsts
Pryor's list of firsts in Berkeley are as long as a hook and ladder truck: female firefighter, female paramedic, paramedic supervisor, lieutenant, captain, assistant chief, deputy chief and fire chief.
When you ask her about all her firsts as a black woman, she downplays it.
"I am a leader and I just happen to be a woman and I happen to be African-American," she said.
Even so, Pryor admits there were other forces at work in Berkeley that helped her along in addition to her confidence and leadership ability.
She credits her mother who was a Berkeley public schools employee, the Berkeley school integration program and a city culture of celebrating diversity for helping her rise to the top in her profession.
Her mother enrolled her in city programs like the summer day camp at San Pablo Park where former City Manager Weldon Rucker was a counselor. She learned to swim at the downtown Berkeley YMCA and attended Cazadero Music Camp founded by a Berkeley High School band director. Most importantly, Pryor said, when she was in kindergarten, her mother volunteered her for the school district's first in the nation racial integration program before it became official in 1968.
The program fostered in her a sense that she could advance even when she was in a place where she was different. She was bussed from the south side of town bordering Oakland to a school in a white neighborhood off College Avenue.
"I was in kindergarten, so I had no normal," Pryor said. "I was one of three African-American kids in my class. That didn't mean anything to me at the time. But it was the kind of experience that prepared me to be successful and to be OK with being different from others. I had countless experiences later in life where I was the only woman and the only African-American, and I had the courage and the confidence to lead, speak up and to have an opinion that was different than others."
Becoming a firefighter
Pryor was working as a clerk in the city of Berkeley when she was recruited to join the fire department in 1985. At Arizona State University she won a scholarship for shot put and discus, so there was no question in her mind she had the strength to haul a hose up a flight of stairs or use an ax to chop through walls of a burning building.
And she knew if she passed the fire academy, she would become the first woman firefighter in Berkeley, but Pryor said she was more interested in learning how to swing an ax than worrying about how she would handle being the only woman in a male-dominated profession, which she was for a full three years after she was hired.
"I didn't pay any attention to that stuff," Pryor said. "There were things that were less convenient because there were no women's bathrooms, but I could go downstairs and use the officers' bathrooms. For me, it was like 'I really have to learn how to swing this ax, and these guys are the ones who can help me do it. I can learn from them.'"
Twenty-seven years later, when Pryor announced her retirement at a recent City Council meeting, she received a standing ovation
"I want to thank you," said City Councilman Max Anderson, during a short ceremony marking her retirement. "Among many firsts, you paved the way for other people. You left a mark, a legacy and a shining example for other public servants."
Pryor said she's not sure what she will do next. At 51, she's got a lot of time before her. In October, she married a Berkeley police officer.
As she departs, Pryor said she is most proud of her relationship with the city's firefighters' union and in implementing a backup firefighting system that can draw water from the bay in a major fire.
Does she have advice to other women thinking about being a firefighter?
"You have to have a true sense of who you are as person," Pryor said. "You have to have a level of maturity about you. This is not a job for everyone. You see some bad stuff. When that bell hits, you have to come together as team. You can't be mad at someone or not want to work with someone. You can't let your personal bias get in the way."

SAN LEANDRO -- Like most teenage girls, Jessica Gonsales-Vasquez likes cute clothes. But her family has a hard time making ends meet, and there's often not enough money for food, let alone new clothes for a 17-year-old.
For the past five years, Jessica and her family have been going to the Davis Street Family Resource Center, which serves the working poor and others who are struggling.
"Money has been tight," Jessica said. "My mom right now is the only one working; my dad's been out of work for three years. So we go to Davis Street about three times a month. We pick up food, and sometimes we pick up clothes or go to the clinic."
Every December, the center hands out holiday baskets with food and toys. Last year, the center started handing out gift cards for teenagers, said Rose Johnson, Davis Street executive director.
"The entire family often comes in to pick up the holiday basket, and we realized there was nothing for the teenagers. They didn't say anything, but you could see it in their faces. So we tried to give the older kids toys and then said, we don't even know what they want," Johnson said.
The center decided to add gift cards for teenagers in the baskets. On Dec. 22 and 23, the center will hand out 1,000 baskets, including more than 300 gift cards for teenagers.
"Last year, we were able to give gift cards of $25. This year, we have more older kids, so we will hand out $20 cards. It's not a lot; it maybe will buy one CD, a sweater or a sweatshirt. For us, it's showing a teenager that we value you as a human being; this is all we can do right now, but you're worth it," Johnson said.
Jessica was one of the teens given a gift card last year. "I got a gift card for Target; I used it to buy clothes. I really like clothes for school and stuff. I'll use it for the same thing this year because we are short of money," she said.
She also needs clothes for job interviews. "I'm looking for any job that will hire me. I've been looking for work, but it's been really hard," she said. Jessica's family does not have a computer, so she uses Davis Street's computer lab for schoolwork and to help in her job search.
Each month, the Davis Street Family Resource Center on Teagarden Street serves more than 5,000 residents in San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Ashland, Cherryland and Castro Valley, and has about 1,200 kids in its child-care centers at local schools and its original site on Davis Street. The center has 51 paid staff members, and 200-plus volunteers, many of whom are former clients.
Aurelia Tyson, 14, who lives with five brothers and her mom, has been coming to Davis Street with her mother for food baskets for about three years.
"I bring the kids to Davis Street so that they can see we don't have it like we used to," said her mother, Gavina Silva, as she slumps into a chair. She was a stay-at-home mother when her husband lost his job at NUMMI when the Fremont auto plant closed in 2010.
"The holiday basket helped us a lot. We were having a hard time," she said.
The now-single parent leaves the house by 4:30 a.m. to get to her job at Safeway in Alameda. But she is home in the afternoons to look after her six children, ages 4 to 18, including her stepson, who has cerebral palsy and is deaf. He attends the California School for the Deaf in Fremont. Her youngest, Ramon, is in Head Start, and Aurelia plays soccer and softball.
"Between work and juggling the kids, I don't have much time," Silva says. "We barely make it, paying the bills. It's hard."
The center also helped Donna Murray after she suffered a stroke at age 46. "I lost my income, my job, my medical coverage, my apartment, everything," she said.
She needed to see a doctor but could not afford one. A friend suggested she go to the clinic at Davis Street.
"They gave me food and clothing," she said of the workers at the Davis Street center. "I was homeless."
As she talks, her twin 6-year-old grandsons, Fred and Eric Owens, draw at a table nearby. One of the boys runs over. "You're not homeless!" he said.
"Grandma was after I had my stroke," she replied. The Davis Street center got her into a shelter and later helped her find a home.
Murray, now 58, still uses a cane but helps out four to five days a week at the center.
"I started volunteering to give back, because they helped me so much," she said. "I was a single mom, and Davis Street was the only place that ever helped me."

Finding a natural solution
by Susan Melgren, Web Editor
sugar, uses for, cleaning, health, beauty, skin scrub, sugar scrub, DIY beauty, natural exfoliant, flowers, pests, wasps, roaches, flies, wounds, bacteria
Refined white sugar isn't the healthiest option, but it is a staple in many households. If you're trying to move away from using refined white sugar in your kitchen but don't want to waste the sugar you already have, check out these six uses for sugar for some innovative ways to use this kitchen staple around the house without adding it to your diet.
1. Make a body scrub. Sugar is a great natural exfoliant, making it a good substitute for conventional exfoliating scrubs, many of which are made with tiny bits of non-biodegradable plastic. (Read more about the environmental impact of conventional exfoliating scrubs.) A basic homemade sugar scrub is just one part sugar and one part oil. (Jojoba, olive and almond oil all work great.) For a fancier homemade sugar scrub, try one of these recipes for body and facial scrubs.
2. Get dirty hands clean. Naturally abrasive, sugar can help remove dirt, grease and oil like a champ. Try rubbing dirty hands with equal parts olive oil and sugar, then rinsing.
3. Make cut flowers last longer. Preserve the life of freshly cut flowers by sprinkling a tablespoon of sugar into the vase water. Sugar provides nourishment for the flowers, helping them to live longer. Sugar also provides food for bacteria; to prevent bacterial growth in your vase, add a tablespoon of vinegar to the mix, too. (Read more about how to keep flowers fresh naturally.)
4. Keep baked goods fresh. Keep biscuits, cake or other baked goods fresh by placing a lump of sugar in the bottom of the storage container. The sugar will absorb moisture in the container, helping to keep your goodies fresh for longer.
5. Heal wounds. A small study at a hospital in England showed that sprinkling sugar on bed sores, leg ulcers and amputations can help heal injuries that otherwise are unresponsive to conventional treatment. Sugar draws water from the wound, prohibiting the growth of bacteria and preventing infection. The study was spearheaded by a nurse raised in Zimbabwe, who used to watch his father apply crushed sugar cane to villagers' wounds.
6. Naturally trap pests. Wasps, fruit flies and other insects are attracted to sweet things, so setting out a lure of simple syrup (made by boiling sugar and water together) can help draw them in. Make a homemade fly trap by boiling sugar, honey and water in equal proportions, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Dip pieces of kraft or brown packaging paper in the mixture, the hang them to try with a drip pan underneath. For roaches, mix equal parts sugar and baking powder then sprinkle over infested areas. Roaches are attracted to sugar, but baking powder is toxic to them. For smaller insects, check out these instructions for making a Homemade Fruit Fly Trap.

Next Pine View principal will probably be an outsider
Published: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 10:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 10:27 p.m.
The next principal at Pine View School is expected be somebody brought in from outside Florida, now that a former assistant principal is no longer a candidate.
The list of three finalists was narrowed down to two candidates Tuesday after they were interviewed with district officials and Superintendent Lori White.
Surviving the next round of cuts were Thomas Hanley, student learning coordinator at Wauwatosa Public Schools in Wisconsin, and Stephen Covert, executive director of human resources at Spotsylvania County Schools in Virginia.
They could not be reached for comment Monday evening.
Cindy Hall, who was a Pine View assistant principal from 2007 to 2011 and is now principal at Woodland Middle School, was not named as one of the two finalists.

I am new to PMS and just installed 1.30.1
I viewed a complete 1 hour AVI no problem but when I went to go view a youtube saved FLV it said the data is corrupted.
I tried searching this forum and google and can't seem to find any leads on how to troubleshoot (if not fix) the issue.
I was hoping there may be some sort of status message in the media server trace window but there's no activity shown so I don't know what the error is etc.
What must I do to get FLV working?

There's finally some downloadable content out for Assassin's Creed Revelations, but you should keep your $4. Why?
Stephen Totilo, who wrote a glowing review for Assassin's Creed: Revelations: I'm including a video in this Gut Check in order to show you the coolest thing about the Ancestors Character Pack. If you look at it closely and beyond what I'm trying to show you, you'll see that I haven't played a ton of ACR multiplayer. Maybe, you might say, finger pointing in accusatory fashion, you're not the ideal customer for a $4 piece of downloadable content that adds a Brigand, a Corsair, a Gladiator and a Privateer to a multiplayer roster that already includes 14 other playable characters!
Oh, but I am the right person for this DLC, because I am nearly unprofessionally enthusiastic about most things Assassin's Creed. I also see the hidden value of this pack, which I show off in the video. That value is that you are freed from the multiplayer's standard unlocking system and have access to all of these four characters' special outfits, weapons and taunts from the get go. For $4, in other words, a non-obsessive ACR player like me can enjoy the perk of changing the gear on my character. I've yet to unlock most customization options on the game's default characters.
But... that's it. That's all you get for your $4 with a DLC that appears to break one of the fine rules of ACR. All the other multiplayer characters, you see, were important people that you or your assassin trainees killed in the game's single-player mode. These four new people? They're just identity-less shells. Do you need them? No
No, they're not. Say, that's a bit early in the gut check for my answer! But there you have it: four skins, some unique kills, and a few customization items are not worth real money. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is still just scratching the surface of Revelations—I haven't even finished the story yet, let alone delved into multiplayer! But more than that, I feel that extra content for a game should be functional in some way—a useable weapon for single-player, a set of quests, a new area. Skins and taunts are the kind of things that should be sprinkled on top as a bonus, not packaged and sold as a standalone product.
The Ancestors Character Pack is thin, it serves no gameplay purpose, and I've got so much Assassin's Creed already that I don't need to spend a few bucks to get any more. Take your time, Ubisoft, and offer us something worth buying. No.

Through the decades, keyboardist Chick Corea has led a lot of different bands. To get a sense of how long he's been at it, consider that, in 1968, he recorded one of the greatest of all jazz trio records, "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs," with one of the greatest of all jazz drummers, Roy Haynes. Now, 45 years later, Haynes's grandson, Marcus Gilmore, is playing drums in Corea's latest group, the Vigil.
Wednesday at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz, the band made its Bay Area debut with two sold-out shows, covering several stylistic fronts: samba, electric fusion and acoustic modal jazz, stamped with that unique Corea-brand blending of taut clarity and twisting ornate melody. The group, which performs through the weekend at Yoshi's in Oakland, knows where it wants to go. But it seemed still to be in a formative stage during Wednesday's 80-minute late show, with roles being worked out and no one pushing hard enough to break through to that heightened sensory state that "vigil" implies.
The best tune came first: "Legacy," from the group's upcoming album. Much came together here: Corea's curlicue keyboard lines, like a funky loop-the-loop; rich percolations from electric bassist Hadrien Feraud, a 28-year-old Frenchman, very Jaco-like; and veteran British saxophonist Tim Garland's bottom-to-top tenor solo, dry-toned and roiling. Guitarist Charles Altura -- a young Stanford graduate who hails from the East Bay -- began his solo with spacious consideration, then turned on some heat, grew elaborate, entwining lines with Corea.
A lot of notes were played, without any clutter. The key was Gilmore, who doesn't sound like other drummers. In his mid-20's, he articulates across his drum kit, prodding the band from a variety of angles. He's got power and elegance, and he's never too busy. Gilmore lets you hear the detail in his chattering cross-rhythms, which hinted here at Headhunters-era funk, with its dark roominess and mysterious start-stop effects.
Corea's "Outside of Space" was next, but it didn't gel. Garland stated the floaty bossa-nova melody with an excessive saccharine warble. Altura soloed briefly, then quit. Next came a new arrangement of "Eternal Child," which Corea, 71, first recorded with his Elektric Band in 1988. Wednesday, he began on acoustic piano -- that clear, meditative sound goes straight to the heart -- then, after a few minutes, bounced the tempo up to a samba. The band grabbed on, then let go. Solos came and went; it felt like a rehearsal.
Corea's "Portals to Forever" glided toward a "Light as a Feather" Latin feel, then alighted in North Africa as a modal jazz anthem. It was effective '70s jazz, grooving over Feraud's solid ostinatos. Eventually, Corea, on acoustic piano, directed the band back toward 1960: a jazz waltz, not far from "My Favorite Things." But Feraud was out of step with Corea and Gilmore; it didn't swing very hard.
Neither did the encore, Thelonious Monk's "Straight No Chaser." Several minutes into it, Corea got it moving -- and then cut it off. Maybe the Vigil was feeling jet-lagged. Oh, well. Onward, to Yoshi's.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Thursday, Jan. 17, 2013
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW) -- There's been a lot of talk about school safety since the tragedy in Newtown, Conn., a little over a month ago. One local high school is taking action, but the new plan is going to take some getting used to.
The phone rang for North Augusta High School students Wednesday night. It was a robo call with information on a new safety policy and with this warning -- be prepared to be inconvenienced.
"It's a really big campus and it's so spread out," said sophomore Lezlie Julian.
With five separate buildings, the size of the campus makes security difficult.
"There's more than one way to enter the school and they try their best with our officer on campus and everything, but it's so big that they can't watch every little thing all the time," she said.
Administrators have come up with a new plan to make the school safer: simply locking the doors.
"We will create access points during class changes," said Principal Todd Bornscheuer. "We will literally lock the doors at the conclusion of those class changes so during instructional time there will be very limited access to every building on this campus."
They know it will cause a lot of inconveniences. Students who are late to class will be locked out and students in the mobile units will have to walk around to the front of the school to use a restroom.
"If a student does have to go to the bathroom, they're gonna have to walk all the way around the building and then that's that student missing class time," Julian said.
"Obviously there will be a lot of logistical concerns about locking different areas of our buildings when you have 1,500 students who walk the halls of all buildings each day and have to traverse from building to building," Bornscheuer said.
He says it will take time to work it all out.
"In phasing it in, we're able to in one location troubleshoot the problems that we encounter, fix those problems before we move into the next phase," he explained.
Ultimately, safety is the key.
"As a parent myself, honestly, I could forgive a school for not providing the best academic education for my child," he said. "It would be hard to forgive a preventable tragedy."
Julian's father, Robert, couldn't agree more saying," I think its a good idea. The people that need to be in the school are in there."
If you're a parent wanting to visit the school or pick up a child early, the front doors will be the only ones left unlocked.
Phase one will begin next week with the cafeteria and phase two, which is the main building, will begin the week after.

hm... Sage looks different in these pics then any I've seen. Looks like a cross between Bruce Willis, Dave Shapel, and that Reggae guy with that new song that is on 106 and park all the time, with the girls dancing in ways that if i saw a girl dancing in front of me, I'd sell the tires on my omni, to get under the heel of.
And also Sage, you do look like you're becoming a pimp. I'd be watching you too...

I have definitely been mistaken for Dave Chapelle.
If the camera was in focus, some of these shots could definitely been used for something.
And I'm proud to say...lots of people didn't recognize me. Til it was time.
I like that.

Face Shape Haircut Mistakes
Should you cut fringe like Christina Ricci? See if your haircut is flattering your face
What suits your shape: Lots of face-framing layers and a side part can soften angular facial bone structure. "It draws attention to the cheekbones and makes an angular face seem less severe," Buckett says.
Square-shaped stars:
Long: Gwyneth Paltrow
A side part camouflages a right-angled hairline, and pulled-forward long layers cover a square jaw to make it seem less prominent
Medium: Jennifer Garner
Tousled waves with long, face-framing layers partially cover the jaw to downplay angles and add fullness
A shaggy, layered cut with a deep side part balances the strong angles of the jaw
SEE NEXT PAGE: Shape: Round

Needed more info. I've always thought I have a square shape face, but this leaves me thinking I MIGHT have a round -- although still unsure. All I know is my short shag hairstyle with bangs and a side part is highly flattering.

I always get so confused with face shapes. I have no idea what mine is. All I know is it definetly isn't heart shaped.

September 12
Quotes of the day from previous years:
- 2003
- Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true. ~ Niels Bohr
- 2004
- The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition. ~ Carl Sagan
- 2005
- The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of the truth — that error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. What the world turns to, when it has been cured of one error, is usually simply another error, and maybe one worse than the first one. ~ H. L. Mencken (born 12 September 1880)
- proposed by Kalki
- 2006
- When I came back to my native country, after all the stories about Hitler, I couldn't ride in the front of the bus. I had to go to the back door. I couldn't live where I wanted. I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, but I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President, either. ~ Jesse Owens (born 12 September 1913)
- proposed by Kalki
- 2007
- Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule — and both commonly succeed, and are right... The United States has never developed an aristocracy really disinterested or an intelligentsia really intelligent. Its history is simply a record of vacillations between two gangs of frauds. ~ H. L. Mencken (born 12 September 1880)
- proposed by Kalki
- 2008
- If man had more of a sense of humor, things might have turned out differently. ~ Stanisław Lem (born 12 September 1921)
- proposed by Kalki
- 2009
- You climb to reach the summit, but once there, discover that all roads lead down. ~ Stanisław Lem
- proposed by Kalki
- 2010
- It is fortunate that each generation does not comprehend its own ignorance. We are thus enabled to call our ancestors barbarous. ~ Charles Dudley Warner
- proposed by Zarbon
- 2011
- The battles that count aren't the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself — the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us — that's where it's at. ~ Jesse Owens
- proposed by Kalki
- 2012
|There is something inside us which we don't like to face up to, from which we try to protect ourselves, but which nevertheless remains, since we don't leave Earth in a state of primal innocence. We arrive here as we are in reality, and when the page is turned and that reality is revealed to us — that part of our reality which we would prefer to pass over in silence — then we don't like it any more.
|~ Stanisław Lem ~
- proposed by Kalki
- 2013
|It all goes so fast, and character makes the difference when it's close.
|~ Jesse Owens ~
- proposed by Kalki
- 2014
|Each civilization may choose one of two roads to travel, that is, either fret itself to death, or pet itself to death. And in the course of doing one or the other, it eats its way into the Universe, turning cinders and flinders of stars into toilet seats, pegs, gears, cigarette holders and pillowcases, and it does this because, unable to fathom the Universe, it seeks to change that Fathomlessness into Something Fathomable.
|~ Stanisław Lem ~
- proposed by Kalki
- 2015
|Why assume so glibly that the God who presumably created the universe is still running it? It is certainly perfectly conceivable that He may have finished it and then turned it over to lesser gods to operate. In the same way many human institutions are turned over to grossly inferior men. This is true, for example, of most universities, and of all great newspapers.
|~ H. L. Mencken ~

People say that it was degrading for an Olympic champion to run against a horse, but what was I supposed to do? I had four gold medals, but you can't eat four gold medals.

The war of good and evil present in all religions does not always end, in every faith, with the victory of good, but in every one it establishes a clear order of existence. The sacred as well as the profane rests on that universal order... ~ Stanisław Lem

Abscissas some mantissas, modules, modes,
A root or two, a torus and a node:
The inverse of my verse, a null domain.. ~ Stanisław Lem
He who has had, has been, but he who hasn't been, has been had. ~ Stanisław Lem
He who must be what he is, may curse his fate, but cannot change it; on the other hand, he who can transform himself has no one in the world but himself to blame for his failings, no one but himself to hold responsible for his dissatisfaction. ~ Stanisław Lem
Plentitude, when too plentitudinous, was worst than destitution, for — obviously— what could one do, if there was nothing one could not?. ~ Stanisław Lem
We have wholly abandoned ourselves to the mercy of technological progress. The roles are now reversed: humanity becomes, for technology, a means, an instrument for achieving a goal unknown and unknowable. ~ Stanisław Lem
Genius is not so much a light as it is a constant awareness of the surrounding gloom. ~ Stanisław Lem
Man does not create gods, in spite of appearances. The times, the age, impose them on him. Man can serve his age or rebel against it, but the target of his cooperation or rebellion comes to him from outside. ~ Stanisław Lem

Make the Best Of Long-Range Climate Trends
Published: Thursday, December 13, 2012 at 12:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 13, 2012 at 12:04 a.m.
The tilt of the Earth's axis is the reason for seasonal change. The current tilt is 23.5 degrees, but that tilt is not constant. It changes cyclically between 21.75 degrees and 24.25 degrees. The larger tilt causes the poles to be warmer with little change in the summer hemisphere.
It appears the cycle is heading toward the long-range cycle. It takes 42,000 years to complete the cycle between the short 21.75 degrees and the long 24.25 degrees.
The recent catastrophic events worldwide are minor compared with what lies ahead. New events will be gradual but certain.
The impact humans have on climate change is minor compared with nature's impact. Instead of worrying about climate changes, accept that they will occur regardless of our efforts to control them, and take steps to undo the mess we have gotten ourselves in.
Stop blaming industry and others, and try to work in harmony to make the best of a bad and tremendously expensive situation to correct.
The problem will be solved, but not in our lifetime.

Order Fulfillment and Your Warehouse
Today, order fulfillment agencies both big and small prefer to hire an outsourcing partner to deliver their inventories to their consumers. It is best to count on these order fulfillment Services provider for your companies and consume you time and money.
Warehousing is a perfect business and demands every time, everywhere responsibility of managing not only inventories but also added labor forces that costs you a lot. Order fulfillment companies move towards professional warehousing dealers rather than doing it themselves.
There are some important useful points to select the right order fulfillment partner for your agency.
These are the coasts that may be incurred with an order fulfillment service include:
- Transporting: You are responsible for all the transporting charges that occur as your items will fulfill out. If you fulfill enough you may be able to get one of the major bundle carriers to offer you a bulk discount, but either way it is you that will have to pay the charges for a warehouse rental in vancouver.
- No Picking and Packing: Best benefits to using an order fulfillment service is that you will no longer have to pick and pack the items that you required to ship. Because you will have all of your items stored at the fulfillment service's warehouse, that means they will get everything ready to ship and then ship it out when it is ready to go.
- Receiving Fee: If you have product transport on a regular basis to your order fulfillment provider's warehouse you can expect to pay a receiving fee.
- Freed Up Time: When you use an order fulfillment service, all you have to do is worry about growing your business and selling more products because they do all the work with inventory and transporting so you do not have to.
- Storage Cost: You will have your whole inventory stored in the order fulfillment service's warehouse you will have to pay for such storage. Few order fulfillment services will charge per product and some will charge per pallet so be sure you know ahead of time so that you do not run into an unwelcomed fee.
- Set up Fees: This fee is not seen as much as it once was due to and grows in competition. But you should forever ask if the order fulfillment service you are considering charges a set up fee. If they do it is only going to be a onetime fee and may be worth it to you if the facility is convenient to you.
- Return Processing Fees: Sometimes a buyer will want to return a product for some reasons. When this happens various services will charge you a return processing fee or a re-stocking fee.
- Using an order fulfillment service will help you get back on way and permit you to expand your company to any level you desire. The more you sell, the more your service will go to work for you. Most prominently, you will be able to go about the increasing of your company without having to sacrifice the happiness of even one customer. In the end, customer satisfaction is what it is all about.
The Laser Tattoo Removal Process
About 25% of all Americans have some or the other tattoos on their body. However, as time passes by and the subjects, themes and emotions related to the tattoo seem to fade away, about half of such people wish to get their tattoo removed. This happens with the help of laser tattoo removal, which is nowhere near easy or even inexpensive.
These days, the lasers have become very sophisticated because of which the pigment is broken up sooner and there are minimum side effects of the process as well. Usually, the black ink is easier to remove. These tattoos will need several laser sittings to fade away properly.
In the case of a laser tattoo removal, you will first have to find an expert who does so. You will be made to wear protective eye shields after which the real reaction of the laser against your skin will be tested.
The tattoo removal expert will be placing a hand held laser device near the skin and release short intensive lights on to the pigment. This pigment then absorbs this laser light which makes it break down in the skin. The immune system of the body will automatically remove the broken down pigment from the skin because of which your tattoo starts to fade with time. If the first test is successful and you don't show any negative reactions, then you will be given a complete laser light treatment.
The smaller tattoos will need lesser number of laser tattoo removal sittings. However, no matter how small the tattoo, it will always need multiple sittings and several weeks to fade away. As the laser is absorbed only by the pigment, you will find that the skin near the tattoo is not damaged at all. Different tattoo colors would need different types of laser for being broken down in the skin.
The tattoo layers and the size along with the colors will determine the number of sittings that one will have to undergo in order to get the tattoo removed completely.
Most of the people do not need an anesthetic in order to undergo the laser tattoo removal process. It is the safest method of removing tattoos from the skin. After each treatment, the person who is getting the tattoo removed needs to apply an ice pack to the tattoo and then use an antibiotic cream to soothe the area. A protective patch can also be applied to this area.
Botox Treatments Explained
What comes to mind when you hear Botox? If you're like most people, you would normally think about wrinkle-free faces, younger-looking skin and best of all, perfection. There's some bit of truth in there. What most people fail to hear about is the real benefits of Botox, how do surgeons come up with those results, how long will they last and how does it feel like. Not many surgeons will take the time to explain that, fortunately, we are taking that time to explain all of that.
Of all cosmetic surgery procedures you know of, Botox is on top of the list. The demand for it is too high in modern society. But let's be straightforward about it. Only highly trained and licensed physicians should administer this procedure. Only those with prescriptions from a doctor can have it administered. Once on the operating room, eating your lunch will take much time than the procedure itself. Much like many other operations, it involves needles and for women, this is a sign of pain. There's another hint of truth in that but the little pinch last approximately 10 seconds and it subsides just as fast. After a few minutes, the doctor will schedule you for follow-up visits in 2-3 weeks time.
Let's Talk about Results
There is a reason why the doctor schedules your next appointment with them after 3 weeks. As noted at the site, that is exactly the maximum time period where you get to see the results you want. This is also the time where your doctor gets to monitor the progress of the procedure and fine-tune anything that needs minor adjustments, if there's any. The results would stay for another 2 to 6 months or anywhere in between. After that, you must undergo another treatment. Consistent patients must undergo three Botox treatments annually to maintain their newly achieved facial appearance. This is in accordance with widespread studies proclaiming that the longer one receives this treatment, the longer the results will last.
On Side Effects
Side effects is patient-specific and every patient may experience a side effect differently. Some patients even go about it without experiencing any side effects at all. Some known side effects are as follows:
- Touch sensitivity
- Minor redness
- Swelling
- Temporary droopy eyelids
- Bleeding
- Minor bruising
A rather amusing piece of information found by training programs and researchers is that approximately 7% of patients record no response to the Botox treatments at all; the reason is yet to be known.
HR Software that Your HR Department Loves
By automating HR administrative tasks reduce effort, increase accuracy and improve your work efficiency. As noted on comvida.com, assessments, trainings, interviews, deadlines for submitting returns and expiry of labor contracts as these are some of the aspects of the HR software can help. The alert reminds you of important events and alerts you whenever there are errors in data entry.
Through the online portal employees have the right to view pay slips, submit leave requests for approval or direct managers can see how many vacation days have to be made.

Manage all stages through which your employees from selected candidates until retirement.
Keep track incoming CVs and recruitment projects. Monitor the training needs of each employee. The software allows you to plan, budget and monitor the evolution of your employees.
Information specific to each HR process is not isolated but is organized in a series of logical connections that allow you to generate complex analyzes. Based on this analysis it will be much easier to take informed decisions and accurate.
No need to invest time and effort to keep up with frequent changes in labor legislation. The software is up to date with legislative changes so that you get rid of an extra care. With other words, using HR software only brings benefits to your company. Reduces costs and the HR employees will love to work with the HR software.

Regardless of the number of employees or industry, every company is required by an automatic calculation of salaries, issuing statements required by the regulations in force, extracting reports and calculate bonuses or deductions on salaries. Moreover, legislative changes frequently require high flexibility of the system.
Besides reduced development time and ease of use of the software, it allows the automation of issuing statements, money orders or mandatory reporting. This eliminates the possibility of human error or lack of information on certain mandatory activities.
The formulas for calculating the salaries are configurable and make parameters, allowing real-time adaptation to changes in internal or external nature of the company. In addition, the application allows and salary budget planning by conducting simulations. This produced a more rigorous control of the wage bill. At the end, using a HR software, you will have updated legislation, full control of payroll, better employees, less costs and the experience has shown that the most effective way companies to withstand a bear market is to reduce costs without affecting the quality of products, services and company image and while maintaining a level of profitability that allows continued development of the business.
Secure Your Valuables While You Travel
When people think of the protection that they need, they hardly ever think about the need for travel insurance. However, if you have been planning and saving for a big family trip for a long period must you take measures to guard the cash that you have spent on your journey. After all, it can take only one accident or regrettable event to bring your journey to stop, and you will want to be secured by protection plan created for the risks and failures that can occur while on holiday.

What Does Journey Insurance plan Cover?
According to squareoneinsurance.ca, travel insurance usually includes termination or disruption of your journey, lost or thieved luggage, healthcare urgent situations and common journey assistance services.

How Much Protection Will I Need?
I can look at my vacation coverage and my home insurance. I can see that the quantity of coverage that you I will need for each will differ based on your location, the all-inclusive costs of the journey and the regularity with which you travel. If you have reserved a costly journey, for example, you will want to make sure you guarantee your journey against unconscious termination or disruption for most if not all of the quantity you paid for your journey. If you are moving costly items in your luggage, you will also need to take consider that when selecting coverage boundaries. Emergency healthcare cost coverage is usually offered as an excess quantity over your primary wellness care coverage.

Your home, auto, wellness or life protections may protect your failures while you are on holiday although many guidelines will limit that coverage to certain boundaries and insurance coverage and have a specified area in which you are secured. If you find yourself travelling outside of the area of your plan, you will no longer be secured under the conditions of your insurance contract during the time that you are there. You should ask your insurance company or an associate from your service provider about the details of your guidelines as they correspond with coverage offered while traveling.
Purchasing vacation coverage and my home insurance is a great way to give yourself the satisfaction that comes with knowing your investment of cash is secured.

Botox Cosmetic Injections for a Fresher You
Botox in medical terms is known as botulinum toxin. It is a kind of neurotoxic protein, which is produced by bacteria known as Clostridium botulinum. With the help of this neurotoxic protein the Botox cosmetic injections are prepared. These injections are used to smooth wrinkles and lines on the face, which is a result from the contraction of muscles related to facial expression. BOTOX cosmetic injections relax these muscles and easily smooth all the hyperfunctional lines, which leads to a sad tired or angry appearance.
It not only helps in preventing aging and typically the earlier you begin, the better you can delay the aging process. These injections not only decrease the chances of having a major cosmetic surgery, but also help in saving in saving a great amount of money. According to cwcmedspa.com, many people are increasingly using these types of injections to stop the aging process.
People prefer Botox because it is cheaper and faster in comparison to plastic surgery. The results look much better and natural, when it is applied with caution by the skillful professionals. Similar to any kind of cosmetic treatment, it requires to be performed by highly qualified professionals.
These injections are commonly considered as the best method for effectively removing and treating facial wrinkles. Though, the actual fact which is applicable to any form of treatment, Botox cosmetic injections is not correct for everyone. For some people the decision of not applying Botox injections can be the due to personal dislike for such kind of injections, well for others this decision might be due to any kind of severe medical condition. But, Botox cosmetic injections must not be given to people who have allergies as well as to the women who are pregnant. At the same time, the specialist must assess all the possible neurological disorders before doing this treatment.
After making sure whether you are medically fit to undergo Botox cosmetic injections or not, the next thing to be determined is whether these injections will actually have the required ability to give you adequate results that you are looking for. This element of the assessment will need you to find a truthful evaluation of the current state of your skin. It is important to keep in mind that you are aware that such kind of injections is most successful in the initial phases of the aging process.
You might experience some kind of improvement after using these injections on very deep wrinkles; chances are that this process may not yield the required results which you might be hoping. Therefore, you will have to take into watchful consideration how severe the wrinkles are, and what is the probability that these deep wrinkles will respond optimistically to Botox cosmetic injections.
Treating wrinkles through Botox Cosmetic injections is considered a safe process, but some patients might experience some kind of side effects, such as short-term paralysis of the muscles, or an allergic reaction and bruising near the injection site. A qualified nurse or physician having experience with Botox injections must determine whether you are fit for it or not.

Ensuring that leaders take ambitious decisions to reduce poverty and inequality and protect our planet this year is everyone's responsibility.
6 A global partnership for development
Where do we stand?
Official development assistance to least developed countries increased significantly over the MDG period.
Official development assistance has plateaued in recent years, after increasing significantly in the first decade of the new millennium. Imports from developing countries, especially from least developed countries, increasingly receive preferential treatment from developed countries.
Greater funding and innovation are crucial to the implementation of the post-2015 development agenda.
Official development assistance (ODA), from OECD-DAC countries, 2000–2013 (constant 2012 US$ billions)
- Official development assistance from developed countries increased by 66 percent in real terms between 2000 and 2014.
- In 2014, 79 percent of imports from developing to developed countries were admitted duty free.
- The proportion of external debt service to export revenue in developing countries fell from 12 percent in 2000 to 3 percent in 2013.
- As of 2015, 95 percent of the world's population is covered by a mobile-cellular signal.
- Only one third of the population in the developing regions use the Internet, compared to 82 percent in the developed regions.

Administered by the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), CRP provides annual rental payments and cost-share assistance to producers who take marginal cropland out of production and restore it to wildlife habitat. CRP is a voluntary program available to agricultural producers, which helps them safeguard environmentally sensitive land. Most of the land enrolled in CRP on the prairies consists of restored grassland interspersed with numerous wetlands. During the program's peak enrollment, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) estimates CRP land in the PPR was credited with adding an estimated 2 million ducks to the fall flight each year.
The 2014 Farm Bill will step down the national enrollment cap from 27.5 million acres in 2014 to 24 million acres by 2017. While funding cuts to conservation programs such as CRP present challenges, DU and its partners must also explore and develop new ways to make these programs more economically competitive and attractive to producers in an era of strong commodity prices. This paradigm shift will require habitat managers to think outside the box when developing new incentive options to promote conservation on private lands.

EDWARDS - Anyone want to play goalie?
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
That was Battle Mountain boys lacrosse's predicament this week. Starting Keeper Zach Trombetta went down with a hamstring injury, so he was a no-go. Naturally, his backup got hurt in practice. (No member of Battle Mountain lax should stand outside on a clear day the way things are going. He'll still get struck by lightning.)
"We held goalie tryouts this week," said Huskies coach Jerry Nichols.
As it turned out, the coach didn't have to look far. Enter freshman Kevin Nichols from the junior varsity. The midfielder, by trade, ended up backstopping a 9-7 win over Fruita Monument Friday afternoon in Edwards.
And, yeah, kid, you get the game ball.
"The team did a nice job of dealing with some adversity," coach Nichols said.
In the continuing quest to play disciplined lacrosse, the Huskies were relatively whistle-free. They also had eight different guys score - no, this is not a Battle Mountain soccer story. As soccer coach David Cope loves multiple scorers, so does Nichols.
Cooper Perkins had two, and now a wee-bit of a roll call for the rest of the scorers - Quin Davis, Tony Clark, Mike Lange, Jesse Greve, John Harty, Clayton Davis and Lucas Brunette.
With young Nichols making his net debut, the Huskies played it close to vest with a possession game. Battle Mountain did a very nice job of playing keepaway.
The Huskies upped their record to 8-2 on the season. They head to Evergreen Wednesday and Grand Junction Friday.
Huskies edge Palisade
PALISADE - In the spirit of this week's Masters golf tournament, Battle Mountain soccer is the leader in the clubhouse.
The Huskies finished their league slate Friday afternoon with a huge 1-0 victory at Palisade. Battle Mountain is 7-1-2 in the Western Slope (7-1-3 overall) and awaits Steamboat Springs' results against Rifle, Glenwood Sprigs and Summit County. However things turn out with Steamboat's game with Glenwood and possible tiebreakers, the Huskies are in the league playoffs at the end of the month.
"Everyone in our league has a loss, so it's really interesting," Huskies coach David Cope said. "We don't know where we're going to end up - home or away, first or second. We just know we'll see either Palisade or Glenwood."
"It's huge, especially after the past few games where we were in a slump," said goalie Mindy Vickers, who had the shutout for the Huskies. "It proved to us that we can come back from anything."
The decisive goal came courtesy of an offensive-minded defender coming all the way up the field. (Not exactly a novel concept for Battle Mountain soccer.) It was Jenai Denardo (instead of Gunnar Wilson) from Emily Cope in the 48th minute.
"She's such a versatile player," Vickers said of Denardo. "She can play anywhere. Emily played an outstanding ball, and Jenai finished it with finesse."
While the rest of the Western Slope finishes up the schedule, the Huskies have spring break, and then play Coal Ridge at home April 25.

The City Council has modified the Lafourche Parish city's voting districts, moving more than 200 residents to new districts.
Council Administrator Jenny Morvant tells The Daily Comet that the process is required every decade as populations shift.
The federal Justice Department requires municipalities to seek similar populations in voting districts and have one voting district with at least a 60 percent minority population when possible, says Scott Leger of the South Central Planning and Development Commission.
The quasi-government planning group presented three redistricting options to the council.

Peak 11 - the band, not an actual peak - ushered in Breck's opening day and their first winter season as a group with a show at the Gold Pan Saloon on Thursday. The cover artists, comprised of Thomas Jackson (guitar/vocals), Stephen Gladstone (bass/vocals) and Layton Maddox (drums/vocals), are snowboarders who promise "a rockin' dance party" to all. On Saturday afternoon, they play the T-Bar at the base of Peak 8 at Breckenridge (access via gondola from the parking lot), followed by another performance next Friday at Pug Ryan's in Dillon. "We take our music seriously, and our band with a dose of comedy," band members wrote, along with this interview on what Peak 11 is all about:
Peak 11 formed in the spring 2012 as winter melted into mud season; what better way to spend a murky day than jam guitars. This simple passing of time morphed into the Peak 11 Rockin' Dance Party.
Peak 11's show is a live rock concert with heavy grooves that pump like a freight train full of gold and melodies that turn ski boots into dancing shoes.
Packed dance floors of sing-along party people who are looking for nuthin' but a good time.
Each member of Peak 11 has an extensive background in rock 'n' roll delusions of grandeur.
Peak 11 plays the covers that people love to sing along and dance to, with a passion as though we wrote the songs, and an explosive energy that takes every tune to "11." Folks also love that the action never stops at a Peak 11 show, for when on break we keep the crowd movin' with fresh DJ mixes of dance-floor packin' hits. People that choose to spend their leisure time with Peak 11 can expect a non-stop high altitude rock 'n' roll dance party full of good vibrations and sonic sensations.
Peak 11 attempts to recreate the original vibe of each song we cover as best as three musicians can, thus complimenting every great artist or group we study. If we had to compare Peak 11 to another band at this stage of the adventure, we'd probably have to say we are The Rolling Beatles meets The Greatful Phish high on Lynyrd Sublime.
People come to Summit County to have a good time on our mountain peaks; now there's Peak 11. See ya on the slopes ... rock ya on the dance floor.

AUSTIN (January 24, 2013)—State Rep. George Lavender, R-Texarkana, filed a bill Thursday that would allow Texans to openly carry handguns in public places.
Lavender introduced the bill on the same day that U.S. Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., filed a bill on Capitol Hill that would ban the sale of assault weapons nationally.
Lavender's bill would allow people who hold concealed handgun licenses to also carry their weapons openly in public.
Otherwise license holders must follow the same rules they have to follow with concealed handguns.
Lavender tried to pass a similar bill in 2011, but in never came up for a final vote in the Texas House.
Texas Republicans have introduced a number of measures to expand gun rights as Democrats at the national level have authored legislation to increase restrictions on gun ownership.

1. What an intense week!: 00:01
Thesis: A usability pilot session left me frustrated with my project and insecure about its significance. While stepping through the tasks, I realized that the existing tools didn't suck so bad, and that my prototype wsan't that much of an improvement. After the pilot, I headed straight for Stephen Perelgut's cubicle and whined about my lack of an interesting project. He told me that I wasn't the first student to do that, although usually they wait until after they collect data. After getting that out of my system, though, I realized that it can't be all that bad. After all, IBM wouldn't fund it if they thought it was hopeless, and people in the blogosphere like the ideas I've written about. I spent the next day reading papers and trying to remember the reasons why my research is cool, and I think I've found my purpose again.
I caught up with a *lot* of reading, too. Three books, lots of papers... I'm getting ready for my writing phase. My schedule is slipping because of the usability tests, which may push my schedule back another month. I am going to be *so* dead when it comes to writing. If you don't hear from me, you know why. I've been trying to do a little life writing here and there, the occasional blog post to keep in touch, but.... aaaaaagghhhh! My thesis looms on the horizon.
Frustration, check. Fear, check. Determination, check! I figure, life wouldn't give me this unless it thought I could handle it. I'm curious! I want to see how life sorts this out. As long as I do my best at each step... We'll see how this unfolds.
I also felt terribly homesick today, thinking about my family and how much they miss me. I find it really, really hard to keep close personal ties over the Internet. Even my real-life friends are feeling a little neglected right now. I felt so sad that I couldn't even type. But W and J took over and cheered me up, so now I'm ready to work as hard as I can.
Next week: Fix the usability issues identified by Diego. Do an interview about social computing. Do an interest interview with the team I most want to join. Get my usability study off the ground (finally!). Find more useful books - Encyclopedia Brown, Choose Your Own Adventure? Write a letter. Post at least one picture.
I can do this.
