Lunette Disinfecting WipesThe Lunette Cupwipes, previously known as disinfecting wipes, are a great option for sanitizing your Lunette menstrual cup when you can't rinse it. The Cupwipe eliminates most germs and enables you to use your cup even when there is no clean water available. The Cupwipes are small and separately packaged for your convenience. They fit everywhere and allow you to use the Lunette menstrual cup anywhere you go.
Please note that the Cupwipes are only to be used to clean your cup and they are not appropriate for use directly on your skin (e.g. for cleaning your genital area).
©Lune Group Ltd
The Cupwipes are easy to use: Simply wipe and dry the cup with a tissue and then disinfect it with the Lunette Cupwipe. After you have disinfected the Lunette menstrual cup, it is important that you let it dry completely before you insert it again, but it only takes a few moments. We also recommend you to use the wipes to disinfect the Lunette menstrual cup before and after your period (this can also be done by boiling the cup briefly in hot water or by wiping it down with rubbing alcohol). Don't wash your cup after using Cupwipes.

British Folk Art – reviews of Tate Britain's 'ravishing' show
A delightful cabinet of curiosities from figureheads to quilts offers an alternative history of Britain
What you need to know
A major new exhibition celebrating the work of Britain's folk artists has opened at Tate Britain. British Folk Art surveys everyday objects created between the mid-17th-century and the 1960s, mostly by self-taught artists and artisans.
Tate Britain has collected work from museums across the country including shop signs, Toby jugs, patchwork quilts, ship figureheads and weathervanes, many by anonymous crafts people. Runs until 31 August Tate Britain, then touring the UK.
What the critics like
Forget the high culture surroundings, this mad gallimaufry has "all the joy of the village fete", says Rachel Campbell-Johnston in The Times. It's a fantastically heterogeneous but imaginatively vivid exhibition offering a many faceted look at a neglected corner of our culture.
A lost world of flying fish, mighty figureheads and bold quilt making, "the art here is hilarious, beguiling and mysterious by turns", says Jonathan Jones in The Guardian. This startling folk art blows up the stately-home view of our culture and shows how strange and magical the British past really is.
"This show is unexpectedly ravishing," says Ben Luke in the Evening Standard. The vast cabinet of curiosities is also an alternative social history of Britain, and now a part of the art cannon, making this delightful show so necessary.
What they don't like
"Exhibitions of folk art are pretty predictable" because a lot of it was made by a lot of people, says Richard Dorment in the Daily Telegraph. There are some superbly crafted objects in the show, but the standards by which we judge fine art are largely irrelevant here, and it's better to focus on the joy they inspire.

I think the West Alabama State Fair would be more successful if it was held before October. The weather has hurt the fundraiser for United Cerebral Palsy.

In reference to the Sound Off about where does the Bible say anything about homosexuality. In Leviticus 20:13 NIV: "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." Also in I Corinthians 6:9: "Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men."
— Columbus, Miss.

My name is....... Pri-scil-la!
Priscilla (プリシラ, Purishira?) is a Non-player character from Final Fantasy VII. She is a young resident of lower Junon and is friends with a dolphin nicknamed "Mr. Dolphin".
Cloud Strife encounters Priscilla as she is attacked by the Bottomswell. After defeating Bottomswell, Cloud performs CPR on her. Priscilla requires 41 "breaths" to recover and a full bar in the CPR minigame is 10, meaning the player needs to take at least five lungfuls to revive her.
She recovers fully and becomes infatuated with Cloud. As a gift, Priscilla gives him her amulet, which turns out to be the Summon Materia Shiva. Priscilla gives a whistle by which Cloud can call Mr. Dolphin and use him to jump up into the upper levels of Junon.
On Disc 1 after obtaining the Buggy, the player can go back to the Dolphin and jump directly to the Cargo Ship instead of walking through all of Junon. It also saves the player 10 gil.
For the rest of the game Priscilla follows Cloud's actions carefully. She is aware of the fact Cloud fell into the Lifestream, and once they meet again, she orders Cloud to be more careful because she wants to marry him.
The player must play a CPR minigame to revive her after the battle against Bottomswell. Five full lungfuls of air is enough to resuscitate her. The player must wait to press the confirm button when the gauge on the screen slowly fills, but if they wait too long the attempt fails and Cloud must start from the beginning.
Priscilla is a female given name derived from the Latin priscus (old). It is intended to bestow long life on the bearer.
- The girl going down the slide in the Final Fantasy VII remake announcement trailer wears a shirt that appears to depict the artwork for Mr. Dolphin (see gallery.)
- If the player's Materia stock is full, Priscilla is unable to give the Shiva Materia to Cloud's party. If this happens, she leaves the Materia in her house, where the player can collect it when they have room in their inventory.
- On disc 2, Mr. Dolphin is absent, as the player can access the higher parts of Junon by paying the Shinra guard a bribe. Though his absence is not fully explained, Priscilla mentions he frequents the waters of the Mideel region.
- The way Cloud revives Priscilla is mistakenly referred to as CPR in the game, instead of AR (artificial respiration, a.k.a rescue breathing). CPR includes chest compressions, which are only necessary if the recipient's heart has stopped (no pulse) or they are choking on something solid.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 49 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by PluckyGirl Great Jacket! I will be ordering a size smaller - it looks a bit boxy on me. Otherwise, no complaints. A true classic. April 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Effluvia Denim is nicely stretchy Looks good, but also forgiving! Very happy with it. March 19, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by VeeJ Classic Denim Jacket Just got my denim jacket and I love it!!!! The fit is perfect size 8, I'm 5" 4 140lbs and the color in right on. I love it so much I'm ordering the white one! March 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lakeside An easy Favorite I bought 2 of the dark denim. I bought the size 10 for myself. I'm 5'6" and 134 lbs.. It fits perfectly. I also bought one as a gift for a friend of mine in a size 12, who is much shorter than I am and has an ample bust. I was worried hers might be tight across the chest, but hers fit perfectly as well. I made the purchase in late fall and live in the North so I didn't have much time to wear it before the weather turned. Now spring is rolling in and I can't wait to wear this jacket again. The spandex is a great addition, making this one of the most comfortable jackets I own. I do not agree with another reviewer about the color of the jacket not being the same as pictured on line or in the catalog. My dark indigo was exactly as pictured with slight variations to the denim as one would expect from the fabric. I love the option of rolling up the sleeves and I might add, the sleeves run a little bit long, which I prefer. My friend LOVED her gift and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Another great product from GH I suspect will only get better with time. Worth every cent at full price. March 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grandma2000 Classic Denim Jacket I recently bought the vintage indigo jacket in a sz 10, after searching for sometime for a denim jacket to wear with both dresses and pants. The cut is slimming and cropped at the waist, which is great for me, who normally wears a petite med 10-12. A sz 12 would work better if layering over a sweater, but 10 is good for tees & dresses, I roll sleeves once, so not too short. Quality is excellent, my new grab & go anywhere jacket, thank you GH!! March 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bustergracie Great denim jacket I've been looking for a denim jacket for months. After reading the reviews I ordered this. Am delighted with the jacket...the style and the sleeve length were perfect. I like my jackets a little roomy so I ordered a size 10. I am 5'9", 122# and normally wear a size 6. This will be my "go to" jacket when the weather gets warmer. March 5, 2016

2 answersWhat is the coating on the black color? What is the fabric detail (all cotton, some elastase, etc)? How does the coating change the breath ability?
Age: 45-54
Gender: Female
2 years ago
Answer:The black jacket just arrived. Answer #1 is incorrect. The black is 73% cotton, 23% polyester and 4% elastane. The coating is not described on the tag, but I do not trust the breath ability and will be returning it. It does run true to size. It looks leather like but not cheap. The coating does create a bit of fabric noise, but if you want a little edge and don't mind the poly, it may work for you. Just not what I hoped.
2 years ago
Answer:They are both 98% Cotton/2% Spandex. The coating does not change the breathability.

Answer:The stitching is light brown. The buttons are an antique brass color. The chest pockets are fully functional. There is a back yoke, it goes straight across. There are button tabs on the bottom of the jacket.

Understanding genetic relationships amongst the life-history traits of parasites is crucial for testing hypotheses on the evolution of virulence. This study therefore examined variation between parasite isolates (the bacterium Pasteuria ramosa) from the crustacean Daphnia magna. From a single wild-caught infected host we obtained 2 P. ramosa isolates that differed substantially in the mortality they caused. Surprisingly, the isolate causing higher early mortality was, on average, less successful at establishing infections and had a slower growth rate within hosts. The observation that within-host replication rate was negatively correlated with mortality could violate a central assumption of the trade-off hypothesis for the evolution of virulence, but we discuss a number of caveats which caution against premature rejection of the trade-off hypothesis. We sought to test if the characteristics of these parasite isolates were constant across host genotypes in a second experiment that included 2 Daphnia host clones. The relative growth rates of the two parasite isolates did indeed depend on the host genotype (although the rank order did not change). We suggest that testing evolutionary hypotheses for virulence may require substantial sampling of both host and parasite genetic variation, and discuss how selection for virulence may change with the epidemiological state of natural populations and how this can promote genetic variation for virulence.

Weather Journal: Warm and Dry for the Week
A warming weather trend continues for Greater New York, with temperatures widely expected to top 60 degrees on Tuesday.
Daytime temperatures should remain elevated through at least Wednesday, when a weak cold front will make its way through the area. The weekend is shaping up as a return to warmth, with longer range outlooks showing highs in the 60s until Monday or longer. There's no rain in the forecast for that entire stretch.
Though the daytime highs will be warmer than normal this week, the region is currently locked into a weather pattern favoring dry north winds. Since dry air can't retain its warmth as well as moist air, the result will be nighttime temperatures dipping below normal. The first three months of the year were the second driest ever recorded at Central Park, with only 5.56 inches of precipitation falling — less than a quarter inch more than the record set 1985.
Due the abnormally warm and dry start to the year, the National Weather Service on Monday took the rare step of issuing frost and freeze advisories about a half-month ahead of schedule. As the first test of this new policy, freeze warnings are in effect for inland parts of New Jersey for Tuesday morning, where the temperature is expected to dip into the upper 20s. The Hudson Valley may dip as low as the mid-20s.
Confused plants and fruit trees have been blooming much earlier than normal so far this year, putting millions of dollars of agricultural produce at risk.
Tuesday's Greater New York forecast roundup:
- WSJ Headquarters in Manhattan: Actual High: 63; High feels like: 55 Actual Low: 48; Low feels like: 43 Weather: Sunny and pleasant
- Brooklyn: 61/48
- Queens: 59/50
- Bronx: 61/48
- Staten Island: 61/44
- Poughkeepsie, N.Y.: 58/36
- Trenton, N.J.: 65/44
- Islip, Long Island: 59/43
- New Haven, Conn.: 59/37

Boston RECOMMENDATIONS See all
Romantic Things to Do in Boston
By Jessica, USA, February 2013
Picnic in the park
Boston is home to many beautiful and historical parks where you can spend a leisurely afternoon lounging on a blanket with your beau and feeding each other strawberries and sandwiches. With 50 acres to explore, Boston Common provides history and ambiance and it is the oldest public park in the United States. Moreover, the historical Public Garden offers a lush botanical garden, open since 1837. Along with picnicking here couples can walk hand-in-hand over a lagoon suspension bridge or take a ride on the water in a Swan Boat.

And, if you're feeling frisky, you can use them in a Wicked Witch of the East. People love those movies. The Wenda Costume Striped Socks are for all fans of Waldo (or Wally), Wenda, Wilma, and Odlaw, and looking for striped guys in massive crowds.

EU, Media, and Trained Monkeys
Media freedom in the European Union is as contentious as ever, with controversies ranging from the shape of the British press – and Kate Middleton's cleavage — in the wake of the Leveson inquiry, to EU funds for booty-shaking chalga videos. With 27 different sets of libel and privacy laws, but a totally cross-border world for print, television and radio thanks to the Web, how to bring order to the chaos?
EU Commissioner for the Digital Agenda Neelie Kroes has some ideas. In October 2011, she set up the "High Level Group on Media Freedom & Pluralism," put the former Latvian President Vaire Vike-Freiberga in charge*, and asked them to give her policy recommendations. The report (available here) came back today, and while it's just that – a report intended to stimulate debate, rather than drafts for new laws – it goes into some pretty interesting territory, including the idea that the European Commission, the EU's executive, should regulate "independent" national media councils.
The Brussels press pack turned out in force to talk to Ms. Kroes and the authors, who chose not to "name and shame" either countries or companies with less-than-stellar records, because, they say, there are issues across the board. Here are some of the thorniest questions – and selected highlights from the recommendations.
Quality Journalism
"There is a responsibility that goes with being a journalist," Ms. Vike-Freiberga told the assembled hacks. But with new technology "enabling just about everybody" to access information, form an opinion, and blog it, from their phone, "trained monkeys could probably do it."**
So who can decide who is a journalist? "Not the government," she adds. After three days' discussion of the concept of "quality journalism … to define it is very, very difficult," and this thorny task should be in the hands of an independent body.
'Independent' Media Councils under EU Oversight
While Ms. Vike-Freiberga clearly opposed the idea of national governments regulating journalists, the High Level Group seems to have less of an issue with getting the European Commission, essentially the EU's government, to monitor "independent" national media councils. Those councils should be able to fine organisations who break the rules (French gossip-magazine readers will be familiar with the black-and-white text covers, detailing the fines levied for those who intrude on stars' privacy) and remove journalists' status
Recommendation: All EU countries should have independent media councils with a politically and culturally balanced and socially diverse membership. … Media councils should have real enforcement powers, such as the imposition of fines, orders for printed or broadcast apologies, or removal of journalistic status. The national media councils should follow a set of European-wide standards and be monitored by the Commission to ensure that they comply with European values.
One Libel Law to Rule Them All
British libel law is famously strict, leading to "legal arbitrage" or, as a lawyer friend calls it, "jurisdiction shopping" for celebrities who wish to sue journalists. Other EU countries are considerably more lax. It's a touchy area for member states, but the report suggests more consistency would be helpful – especially when all the scandalous news is just a click away, thanks to the Web.
Recommendation: For improving the functioning of the Single Market, further harmonisation of EU legislation would be of great benefit. Currently, the existence of divergences between national rules can lead to distortions in the framework of cross-border media activities, especially in the online world. It would be particularly important to adopt minimum harmonisation rules covering cross-border media activities on areas such as libel laws or data protection
Watch Out Google?
Obviously, the report isn't naming names. But it does call for increased use of the bloc's competition law to ensure there are a variety of sources available. Which multinational online search giant is still in discussion with the commission about its market position? Hmmmm….
Recommendation: … the High Level Group calls upon the European and national competition authorities to monitor with particular attention, under competition policy, new developments in the online access to information. The dominant position held by some network access providers or internet information providers should not be allowed to restrict media freedom and pluralism. An open and non-discriminatory access to information by all citizens must be protected in the online sphere, if necessary by making use of competition law and/or enforcing a principle of network and net neutrality.
More Hot Air?
This line will bring purest unbridled joy to every member of the Brussels press corps, our colleagues back home, and no doubt readers as well:
Recommendation: … The Presidents of the EU institutions should regularly organise interviews with a panel composed of national media from across the EU. This format would have the advantage of not only increasing national coverage of EU affairs but also making that coverage more pluralist, since the interviews to be broadcast or printed in the different Member States would include questions from journalists from other Member States.
EU Presidents aren't known for breaking news in panel interviews, and hypothetical situations don't sound promising – will a Finnish reader really want to know the Spanish commissioner's answer to a question from a Slovenian journalist?
EU-Funded Investigative Journalism?
How to fund this sought-after quality journalism? Given the report's emphasis on ethical codes and transparency, this may be a tricky one…
Recommendation: In order to build up cadres of professional journalists competent to operate in a rapidly changing media landscape, or to offer them the possibility to do investigative journalism, journalistic fellowships should be offered to both entry-level and mid-career candidates who could take leave from their media organisations. Universities and research centres should set up positions for journalists in residence under such fellowships to be funded by the EU.
* From the report: The group was chaired by the former President of Latvia, Professor Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga. The other members were Professor Herta Däubler-Gmelin, Professor Luís Miguel Poiares Pessoa Maduro and Ben Hammersley.

Combine a neutral floor tile with a border or medallion that has richer colours and a rough texture. The texture adds a different dimension to the floor and makes the design more interesting. Try randomly spaced 16-inch by 24-inch tiles, 16 by 16-inch tiles and 8-inch by 8-inch tiles.
The floor will resemble a puzzle, with different size pieces grouped together Create a focal point by adding a border of contrasting tile underneath your kitchen table. Extend the border outward from the table about six to 12 inches from where the chairs will be placed.

Real Fans
Right, this isnt (and wasn't) aimed at anyone person. I posted this on another thread. Just had to (and have got to) get this off my chest. Its one subject thats p1sses me off...real fans. I dont care where someone is from or how many games they have been to or what they have seen the club acheive. Anyone who supports the club is welcome (exepct ex mancs of course lol). People moan about how the club has never maximised global marketing but then criticise someone for living on the other side of the world but doesnt (and cant) attent the games. They are happy for the club to take their money, but wont consider them a real fan.
Here's the post:

Nobody is better than the other person to be honest, I'm sure we all share the same love for the club and when things go wrong we all feel the same pain, I'm just a bit dafter than most people tickets for home games this season have cost in the region of £80-£130 after paying that I've felt physically sick after the majority of the performances, I agree though some people live thousands of miles away, some people just can't afford it, some people can't go due to disabilities and things such as agrophobia but at the drop of the hat I'm pretty certain if situations were different these types of people would go to Anfield at the drop of an hat.......

F*cking hell i'd feel sick after paying that as well! Yes you're right, if i could afford it i would go to the game a lot more often, i would be at every game if i had it my way.

So why do you have a go at United fans who don't live in Manchester?

Eric, I personally have never had a go at a man u fan for not being from or living in manchester. The majority of my friends are united fans and like me, most can't afford to get to the games regularly. Like myself, they too would be at every single game if they had the means to do so...which leads me to loki...
So loki, I know you said you dont look down on fans who dont go to the game which I respect but why does it make you more knowledgable of the club in general?
A Yahoo! User Mar 11, 2010 03:10 Flag
I'm with ya Daniel don't care where ya from want ya support. if you cannot go to the game cause of geography or cash flow does not mean you are not a real fan.....You just have a different frame of reference from the fans that stand on the kop week in week out alas I am no longer one of those fans..... The Kop has some of the most knowledgeable fans in the game they hear and see things different than we do...We are no less fans cause we do not go every week but the kopities certainly have more inside knowledge than we do. But you are still a true fan..............

Again, NJ apologies for the original post because I did not want to aim at you.
Glad you agree mate. I will however admit that people who go the game regularly have a greater feel for how the crowd feel at anfield are feeling and how the atmosphere around the club in general is and as you say, more inside knowledege. Doesnt mean they are neccesarily more knowledgebale though. I am sure there are a few fair dumb b@stards who go to the game and dont their @rse from their elbow and dont know anything other than the recent history of the club. Then there might be someone who lives on the other side of the world but has read up on every aspect of the clubs history, thus making them more knowledgebale...going back to the point of the post though, doesnt make them more of a fan.
One last point, just because someone has lived that history rather than reading up on it, doesnt make them more of a fan.

For me mate, its not so much the ticket its the travelling costs to get there. I'm looking at at least £60 to get there plus tickets etc... Now that is something I can't afford regularly so can't imagine what it must be like for people like irishred who fly in from ireland and stay in a hotel.

I'll do the exact same, not a problem with your over reaction whatsoever ;).

If you cannot afford the ticket at Anfield, why not try lower league football? http://afcliverpool.org.uk/go/ everyone here loves the reds...
I am going to be controversial here. I think there is a difference between a fan and a supporter. Fans may buy shirts, and live in Timbuktu or wherever, but supporters go to the games. To be fair, I do think that going to a game does give a proper perspective because you can't see everything on the telly. This is why I DO believe that someone who goes to the game knows more about the team. Also, those who don't go to games have not experienced the communion between the team and the supporters at the game, the best example of which is obviously Istanbul.
The thing is, I don't look down on people who don't go the game. I have been going week in week out since I was 11, nearly 30 years, home, away, abroad, finals and all that and I just love talking about Liverpool with other people, after all, we all want LFC to be the best team in the world and successful. Thats the main thing and we shouldn't lose sight of that! So lets not turn on each other folks.........

After Gavin's death Adam and I wanted so badly for duPont Children's Hospital to have a place where families could get together -- regardless what their child's diagnosis and find a place of hope and acceptance. It was out of that desire that Adam and I along within a wonderful social worker and friend at the hospital began Chronically Cool Families -- a parent to parent support group for families dealing with chronic illness or disability.
This week we celebrate one year since our group has started and we are so happy with how our little dream became a reality. Our group has grown to support about fifteen different families! We have on average about fifteen adults and about ten kids. We offer a laid back environment for parent to just simply share stories and find support. At the same time the parents group meets the kids also have their very own group where they do activities such a medical play with a Child Life Specalist.
One of the speical thlngs about this group is that almost every family that attends walks in with a different diagnosis -- yet we all have so much in common, trying to learn how to live in our new normal. Parent to parent support is something I wished Adam and I had during our journey with Gavin. It is my dream that no family would have to walk through a diagnosis alone. So many families feel they just don't fit in. Sure there are lots of support groups out there but they are mostly diagnosis specific -- what about the rest of us? Chronically Cool is that place -- a place where parents can come and find friendship and kids can come be kids where tubes and equipment are simply no big deal.
This group has been an amazing adventure for us. I can't wait for what this new year has to bring. Thanks so all the families who have made this group possible, providing support to each other.
If you are interested in attending Chronically Cool Familes please contact myself or Jennifer Fenstimacher. Meeting are held on the 4th Thursday of the month at the Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children in the back rooms of the cafe.

Dry Sauna
A few minutes a day in the sauna is all it takes to look and feel better. The body's response to gentle, persistent heat is well-documented and proven day in and out by people all over the world. Which is why more and more doctors are recommending its purifying benefits.
Balancing Jade Room
The powerfully hot JADE ROOM eases muscle tension, helps with arthritis, and is known to lower the cerebral temperature. The sodium and minerals within the walls of Jade Spa also help in the balancing of hormones. In Asian culture, Jade has long been revered for its healing properties and in aiding stress relief. Recommended usage is 10-20 minutes.
Hospitality bath towels and face towels are provided at the spa.
Hot, Warm and Cold Tubs
Hot tubs help cause the dilation of blood vessels, which in turn increases the blood flow throughout the body. This delivers oxygen and enzymes to the site of the ache, reducing any pain.
Spa Bath
People who relax in a hot tub for 15-20 minutes before bed time are more likely to enjoy a deep and peaceful sleep. Warm water massage can stimulate your body to release endorphins and these endorphins help reduce stress. Stretching or mild exercise in the hot tub will also improve flexibility.
Hot Tubs
Hot tubs provide relaxation and soothe aching muscles. Muscular pain relief is one of the benefits of using a hot tub, and the water has the same effect that a hot pack would have on a sore muscle. Pressurized water from wall jets apply more direct pressure to a tense or painful muscle.
Fruits & Snacks Bar
Complimentary Fruits, Snacks and coffees are provided throughout your day.
VIP Lounge
Detoxifying Heated Room
As guests lie on the floor, heat helps to loosen muscles, remove toxins and bacteria in the body, and reduce blood pressure for an overall cleansing effect.

Jobs for Women Over 50 – How to use social media in your job search
August 18, 2012 at 1:43 pm in Work & Money by VN Editors
Yes, job seekers over 50 should continue to attend in-person industry meetings and networking events. But in the era of online resumes and social media, professional networking also means being proficient and active with a range of Internet and social networking tools—tools that most job hunters in their 20s and 30s find as simple and natural as walking down the street.
To be competitive, here's what you need to do.
1. Have a current profile on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. The popular micro-blogging platforms LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter are probably the most efficient way of making sure everyone you know knows that you are looking for a job, and can help spread the word. But don't limit yourself to announcing your job search; use these tools to play up your professional expertise by answering questions and participating in groups relevant to your field.
- LinkedIn. "I used to look for jobs through recruiters, but now hiring companies contact me directly through LinkedIn," says a Vibrant Nation member. "The larger your network, the more likely your name will come up in a search by prospective employers. They are more likely to hire you because they don't have to pay a recruiter's fee and they feel more confident in hiring someone they have found through networking."
Mary Harvey, owner of a staffing and recruiting agency, uses LinkedIn to make business contacts and as a recruiting tool. "It allows me to meet and learn about people quickly," she says. "LinkedIn can put you in touch with people who work in same business or industry, people who can help you professionally. You can join groups and conversations, and find out what's going on in different cities in your industry. You meet people you wouldn't have time to meet otherwise. It's slower than Facebook, but compared to Facebook, more serious, businesslike people (i.e. the people I prefer to recruit) use LinkedIn."
- Facebook. Facebook is similar to LinkedIn, but can feel much more social, depending on how you build your network. "It's lifestyle networking vs. the business networking on LinkedIn," says Mary Harvey. "You may find more personalities and talk about what movies to watch or books to read." But the popularity of Facebook makes it a great tool for spreading the word about your job search.
- Twitter. "Twitter allows for very limited call-and-response actions," says online entrepreneur and VN member BostonMargy. "It's also being spammed to death by businesses that use it the wrong way." Used right, however, Twitter can help you make valuable contacts in your field. "When using Twitter, try to connect with like minds who share your interests and passions," says a Vibrant Nation member. "Try this link to help you find topics and their followers: . TwttrList is an easy-to-use tool that helps you find a 'Best of' list of your favorite tweets on your favorite topics."
2. Familiarize yourself with all of the various career portals available online. Examples are Monster, CareerBuilder, and DICE. These sites are not perfect, but they do contain good resources, advice and insight. "Beware of scam jobs posted on these sites," warns a Vibrant Nation member. "The old cliche 'if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is' applies to jobs, too."
3. Connect with trade sites in your field of interest. Do your research and find trade sites that specifically work with recruiters or employers within your areas of expertise and interest. Use the sites to connect with other professionals who may be willing to share tips about new opportunities regarding job openings or training in your area.
4. Blog. Blogging is a powerful way to brand and market yourself. "I recommend that everyone get a domain in your own name and start a WordPress blog," says a Vibrant Nation member. "You may start writing about anything you want, but chances are you'll find yourself going in the direction of your dreams and passions before long. In the meantime, you will have invested your time in some online real estate that, like most property, will gain value as it matures. In the meantime, you will be branding yourself."
Looking for another reason to blog? For many women over 50, there's powerful extra motivation: the desire to share what we know. "So many of us on Vibrant Nation have had rich careers," says a Vibrant Nation member. "We have not only learned but also experienced so much in our lives that others, especially the younger generations, need and want to know. We need to get that information out."
5. Keep your online presence professional. Proofread every word, sentence and all formatting on every piece of online content to ensure that you have presented yourself as a top professional. "Business is business, so don't publish overly personal information, unprofessional links, photos, or comments online that a potential employer may see and find negative," says a Vibrant Nation member. "Remember, many companies now use these sites to research a client prior to interviewing or making a final hiring decision."

A Must Read - Share
BOSTON (AP) — After back-to-back presidential losses, Republicans in key states want to change the rules to make it easier for them to win. From Wisconsin to Pennsylvania, GOP officials who control legislatures in states that supported President Barack Obama are considering changing state laws that give the winner of a state's popular vote all of its Electoral College votes, too. Instead, these officials want Electoral College votes to be divided proportionally, a move that could transform the way the country elects its president. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince
