The name Bernard Madoff will forever be associated with investment fraud. Unfortunately, however, Madoff is not the only bad apple involved in handling the money of trusting investors. With the softening in the stock market, many fraudulent investment schemes across the country have come tumbling down like a house of cards. If you have fallen victim to one of these schemes, the Kentucky Society of CPAs advises that you may qualify for tax relief on your losses in an investment scam.

My website about how to improve vision naturally has been up for about 3 weeks now. It's indexed in google, yahoo and bing but the major headache I am having now is that there are no incoming links to the site.
Over time, I have submitted the site to about 150 listing directories and I have got emails from some of these directories that my listing has been submitted. Also, I posted about 6 videos with each having a link back to my site and posted the 6 video to about 5 video sites namely (facebook, dailymotion, youtube, netacafe, twitter). Each video has a link back to my site.
All this effort seems to have come to nothing as google and yahoo does not even seem to recognise them.
It's painful as it took almost 15 hours a day working continiously for about a week.
Please help...

This is indeed a topic that is dear to my heart, and I wish the campaign all the best!
And I believe that we need to concern ourselves not just with the young people who do speak up and do step forward (particularly when the adults step back), but also with all the others; those who don't 'just' speak up.
How do we create an environment, a space, where they can learn to speak up about the topics that concern them? How do we, as adult Scouters, learn to create and take responsibility for that?

A 3-1 loss at Chelsea on Sunday sees seventh-placed United trailing leaders Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea by 14, 13 and 12 points respectively, while there is a six-point gap to Liverpool, who occupy the final Champions League qualifying spot.
"We just keep going," Carrick told MUTV.
"We don't want to write anything off at this stage. It is not a position we are used to or accustomed to.
"We never give up. We will keep fighting. That is what we do. We still believe. We have to try and win as many games as we can and see where it takes us."
Of more immediate concern to United is the overturning of another deficit when Sunderland travel to Old Trafford on Wednesday night for the Capital One Cup semi-final second leg holding a 2-1 first-leg advantage.
United boss David Moyes admits supporters have had little to cheer of late - his side have lost four of their five games in 2014, two of three at Old Trafford - and hopes to make amends against the Black Cats.
"We will try and do everything we can to get through," Moyes told MUTV.
"I want to give the supporters something to cheer about. There has not been an awful lot. I am fully aware of that."
Carrick added: "We want to play again as quickly as possible.
"Wednesday is another big game. It is a huge game for us. "It is an opportunity to get to a final. You can't take that lightly.
"We will get over this, dust ourselves down and be ready again for Wednesday."
Changes are inevitable for United after Nemanja Vidic earned a three-match ban for his late dismissal for a bad tackle on Eden Hazard and Patrice Evra limped off in the second half.
Moyes might have been contemplating a defensive overhaul anyway after Samuel Eto'o three times capitalised on United's shortcomings at the back.
"I thought how they played (at Chelsea) wasn't bad," Moyes added.
"The players did well but if you are going to defend the way we did we are going to find it tough.
"We can say bad luck for the first one but not the second and third.
"We were terrible in our defending there. It is just not good enough.
"If we are going to give goals away from set pieces like that it is going to be very hard for us."
England midfielder Carrick agreed with his manager and believes United must do better in the opposition penalty area as well.
"We will have to defend better at set pieces," Carrick said.
"From open play I didn't think they looked dangerous; I didn't think they were much of a threat.
"We needed to create a little bit more ourselves to give ourselves a chance of scoring more goals and give ourselves a chance in games."
Carrick called for the support of the Old Trafford faithful on Wednesday night after an "awful" spell.
"The fans have been unbelievable over the last month or so especially," Carrick said.
"Times have been difficult. Performances have not been that bad actually but results have been pretty awful for us to take.
"We are giving everything at the minute, it is just not going our way. If we all stick together I am sure it will turn soon."

text: For people from disadvantaged backgrounds, going to college decreases the odds that they will get married, according to a study being published in February's issue of The Journal of Family and Marriage. College attendance decreases the odds of marriage by 38 percent for men and 22 percent for women among those who are the least advantaged, the study found. For those in the highest category of advantage, going to colleges increases men's marriage odds by 31 percent and women's odds by 8 percent. Kelly Musick, a sociologist at Cornell University who did the research, along with scholars at the University of California at Los Angeles, said that the study raises questions about the idea that "college is the great equalizer." What holds true for the labor market, she said, may not hold true for the marriage market.

Gothenburg man hurt in roll-over accident
Demoret air lifted to Kearney.
A two-vehicle crash at a rural intersection northeast of Gothenburg left a local man beat up, broken and lucky to be alive.
Aaron Demoret, 19, of Gothenburg sustained critical injuries when the 2000 Chevrolet Blazer he was driving west on Road 767 collided with a 2000 Chevy Malibu traveling north on Road 418.
According to Dawson County sheriff Gary Reiber, Demoret failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection and his Blazer struck the passenger side rear of the Malibu driven by Gary Howell of Cozad sending the car into the road ditch.
Demoret's vehicle continued through the intersection and into the northwest ditch, rolling three times before coming to rest on the driver's side in a corn field.
Reiber said Demoret was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the Blazer, landing approximately 50 feet from the vehicle.
Gothenburg rescue crews transported Demoret to Gothenburg Memorial Hospital with head trauma, a crushed chest including rib fractures, a collapsed lung and abdominal bleeding.
He was air lifted to Good Samaritan Hospital in Kearney where he was treated until being released Saturday.
Howell, who was wearing a seatbelt, was also transported to GMH for back pain. He was treated and released.
Reiber said both vehicles were a total loss.

In Reversal, Liu Opposes Inspector General for NYPD
New York City Comptroller John Liu has reversed his position on the proposal to create an inspector general for the Police Department, saying he no longer supports the controversial legislation.
"The more I think about it, the less sense it makes," Liu, a Democratic candidate for mayor, said in an interview Monday. "I don't support it."
The comptroller's stance is a marked reversal during the span of less than a week. His new position puts him on the side of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has promised to veto the bill, and on the opposite side of City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, the Democratic frontrunner in this year's mayor's race.
Last Tuesday, when Quinn announced her support for the bill, The Wall Street Journal asked the comptroller's campaign if he supported the creation of an inspector general, and his campaign said in an email that he did.

Liu said on Monday that the inspector general post is a "distraction" and that the real issue is the department's stop-and-frisk policy, which he said he would abolish.
The inspector general would be part of the city's Department of Investigation. It would not have the power to set policy, but instead could issue reports and offer recommendations.
The comptroller said the inspector general would be just "another person" reporting to the mayor. The police commissioner already reports to the mayor, he said, and what's needed is for the administration to stop employing the stop-and-frisk tactic.
Liu said he initially supported the inspector general bill when it was part of a larger package of bills, called the Community Safety Act, which was designed to deal with widespread criticism of the department's stop-and-frisk tactic.
When the speaker said last week that she would push forward one of the bills–the one creating the inspector general–Liu said that focused enormous attention on the issue. As he mulled it over, he said, he realized it didn't make "much sense."
Among the major Democratic mayoral contenders, Quinn, Former Comptroller Bill Thompson and Public Advocate Bill de Blasio support the creation of an inspector general. Liu's position on this issue is now the same as the leading Republican contenders.

I've read about plugins that limit the length of words in an excerpt (e.g. Advanced Excerpt which I've tried ), but is there any plugin or technique (not too advanced) that can format an excerpt also?
I'm trying to imitate the post summaries/excerpts in http://seedmagazine.com/content/theory/
The idea is to get the image to be on the left and everything else to the right of it; and also strip away everything from the excerpt text fields except the title and excerpt. Additionally no vertical space between the title and the text if possible.
Or do I have to write custom php to do all of this myself? (I'm a raw beginner at php and WP).

Baba Brinkman comes back to the Vancouver Fringe Festival on July 23 to perform The Rap Guide to Religion for one night only!
The Rap Guide to Religion is one in a series of rap-comedies written and performed by the Canadian rap artist and playwright that have received acclaim in New York, Edinburgh, Vancouver, and more! The show will push your understanding of religion. If you're religious or spiritual, it will challenge you to think about your faith in a new way—as a natural adaption through evolution. If you're an atheist, it will challenge you to appreciate the secular utility of religion, suggesting that beliefs associated with religion don't necessarily need to be true to be useful.
We're sure he's the only rap artist who has won the National Center for Science Education's Friends of Darwin Award, which he won for his efforts to improve public understanding of evolutionary biology. Find out more about him through 20 questions with Vancouver Presents.
The Vancouver Sun suggests The Rap Guide to Religion for theatre this week! Tickets are available on Theatre Wire now and will also be available at the door starting 45 minutes before the show.

You receive great value and artists receive 100% of the proceeds from Frequent Fringer Card purchases. It's indulgence at its best—celebrating all the different theatre we have to offer and supporting Fringe artists!
Frequent Fringer Cards are on sale now:
Frequent Fringer 4: Get 4 performances for $40
Frequent Fringer 10: Get 10 performances for $90
Frequent Fringer 30: After last year's popular demand of the special 30th Anniversary Frequent Fringer 30 Cards, we're bringing them back! Get 30 performances for $270

Memberships are required and must be purchased separately (except for the Frequent Fringer 30, which includes one Membership).
How do you choose what to see at the Fringe Festival? With 108 un-juried, uncensored shows to see, there is a touch of chance involved in the Fringe experience. You may see an emerging creative talent, a smart take on the modern condition, or an experimental disaster. It's risky—and we get it! That's why the Pick Plus and the Fringe Presents are opportunities to enjoy the theatre we've picked for you. From shows that receive exceptional reviews in other cities to shows that were popular at past Fringes, we pick them and show them.
This year, fictional heroes, a robot, dead people, and god in drag take over the Revue Stage for the Pick Plus. Tickets are $25 each or get the Pick Plus Pass and save! Buy tickets to three or more Pick Plus shows and get more than 30% off—it's like getting a show for free!

If you attended last year's Vancouver Fringe Festival and filled out a Membership Card, you're part of our team! The First Vancouver Theatrespace Society, producers of the Fringe, will be holding an Annual General Meeting on Wednesday, July 29 at Big Rock Urban Brewery, 310 West 4th Avenue. Doors are at 6:30pm. Thank you to our new partner Big Rock for hosting us this year!
Please note that we have made arrangements and the meeting space is now wheelchair accessible!
Showing off our lovely partners!
The Fringe's newest partner is Emelle's Catering—and we're so excited to get to know them and introduce them to you. Emelle's will be providing delicious appetizers at the Fringe's Opening Night on September 8. So Fringers, meet Emelle's!
Fringe: Tell us a bit about your business.
Emelle's: We really cater to you! And we truly have something for everyone. Locally, we have a store front café "Emelle's Westside Kitchen;" a food truck "Emelle's Westside Wheels;" and of course our catering business Emelle's Catering. So from one person on the street to 2,000 people for a conference, we are always eager to help. In December of this past year, we opened a secondary location on the Sunshine Coast—which features our Emelle's Madeira Bistro (another store front restaurant location), Alice Sweet Shop (an ice cream and pastry shop), as well as an extension of our catering services.
Outside of the many places you can find us, we are most proud of our flexibility. Our brand is not based on the type of the food we serve, but instead, the experience you have with us. So be it meatloaf or the rarest caviar, we are equally as excited to be a part of your event. Consider, every milestone is often celebrated with food. Birthdays, weddings, life celebrations, holidays, new business launches, welcoming a new team member, etc. Being able to be part of those celebrations is a privilege.
F: How long has it been around? How did it come to be?
E: In 1986, after working at Expo here in Vancouver and being exposed to the hospitality industry, CEO and Executive Chef, Mary Lee Newnham, changed careers from accountant and found her passion as Chef. In the years following she worked her way up by holding positions at places such as the Convention Centre, Atrium, Expo in Spain, and a few other local catering companies. Searching for opportunities, in 1998 she joined what was then called Ramon's as a consultant to help with menu development. Following a busy Christmas season, she decided to buy the business from its existing owners and in May of 1999 Emelle's was founded.
F: What is something people may not know about it that they should?
E: How to pronounce our name—Emelle's—it can stump people sometimes. Emily's, Emile's, all kinds of interpretations. The fun part of our name is that we call our CEO and Executive Chef Mary Lee "ML" for short. It's just spelled phonetically. Most assume it's something French and chic—and we certainly don't mind being chic.
F: Is there a certain culture that it promotes?
E: Our company vision really says it all: "To be of service while striving for excellence; extending hospitality to our guests, team, community, and planet." We always want to give back to our community and we take pride in our affiliations and commitments to our team, our guests, our footprint, and the many local charities, hospitals, and arts programs we support.
F: Four words that would best describe your business are:
E: Delicious. Hospitable. Integrity. Service.

My husband has been helping my aunt with mowing the lawn and other tasks around the house since her husband passed away three years ago. She's been so appreciatative. In Novemeber, she accused him of storing something in her crawl space. This spring she accused him of stealing coins she had around the house. She's saying he's been doing this for awhile. She had all the locks on her home changed. She's saying there's evidence (things weren't where she left them), he's the only one with a key, etc.READ MORE
It could be. However there are many causes of suspicious, possibly paranoid ideas and behavior. These can include bereavement, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, medication side effects, a number of neurological diseases such as any number of different dementias, growths in the brain, drug abuse, kidney disease- the list goes on and on.
I agree with Carol that she needs to see her doctor to get an accurate diagnosis.
This certainly could be a sign. Please try to get her to a doctor for a checkup. New mediations can hold back some of the decline. She needs her medications checked, too, as many mediations can cause paranoia. Also, please read Christine Kennard's post Stages of Alzheimer's Disease: Caregiving Guidelines for more guidance.
My mom also exhibited symptoms of paranoia about what others were "doing to her". In our case, she believed my father was stealing from her. So I'd echo the two previous responses and suggest that you arrange to get your aunt to see a doctor to figure out why she is exhibiting this behavior.
Take care and keep us posted!

Vote Is Unanimous For Wine Keg Bill
Published: Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 10:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 23, 2013 at 10:54 p.m.
Wine kegs would be available in Florida for the first time under a bill that won House approval.
The House voted 116-0 on Friday to approve the bill (HB 623) that would legalize wine barrels that hold just more than 5 gallons. Currently, wine can't be sold in containers larger than 1 gallon.
The idea is to help reduce costs for restaurants and bars that serve wine by the glass. The kegs use an inert gas that preserves wine and prevents the spoilage that often befalls corked bottles, which need to be consumed more quickly.
A Senate companion bill (SB 658) has won unanimous approval in two of its three committee stops.

I have a question regarding how angleswere determined. The question in the text says: Toremove the lid from a 5 gal. pail, the tool shown is used to applyan upward and radially outward force to the bottom inside rim ofthe lid. Assuming that the top and the rim of the lid restagainst the tool at A and B, respectively, and that a 14-lb forceis applied as indicated to the handle, determine the force actingon the rim. The problem is difficult to explain tosomeone who has not seen the picture of the object (a tool), butthere is a diagram in the solutions on Cramster one could lookat. They are asking you to find the force at B. Theproblem is 4.74 from Vector Mechanics for Engineers(Statics) Eighth Edition. In step 2 of Cramster'ssolution, how were the angles of the triangle determined? Iam also unsure of how the triangle in the last step wasformed.
Thank you for your help,

While each of these dramas deals with weighty issues, it's no surprise to hear the audience frequently laughing during the performance. Is it because one man's tragedy is another man's comedy? Or because human beings, in their most fallible moments, are a constant source of wonder and entertainment?

The thug puts a hand to his throat and gulps. "Um...um... there." he says pointing to a large chest in the makeshift camp.
Going over to the chest Therella sees a red leather bound worn book sitting atop the chest. It looks to be will used and atop the cover are the words "Andrax's Journal".
The dwarf not careing about old books takes a look inside the chest. And amid clothes and other personal items he finds a sack full of coins and gems.
The rest of the group searches the grounds for anything valuable but come up empty. Taking back what they can carry the group returns to Flint Tower with the journal.
__________________________________________________ ______
At Flint Tower Andrax greets them warmly and confirms that the journal is indeed his. He tells them that they should return it to The Brotherhood of the Basilisk with his blessings and he will retire from a life of alchemy and adventure. The last thug of Sefaros' is allowed to retake up his post with Andrax and Le Jubb decides to stay at the tower a while longer to learn from the old alchemist.
__________________________________________________ ______
The carriage ride home is dull and the party continues back to Venza in silence, not sure but with something nagging at their minds. Why did Sefaro wish to sell the book and to whom? Why didn't he kill Andrax in his sleep and take it?
There are to many questions and the answers to few. Maybe in the future you may learn something more, for now you have gold in your purse and a lust for adventure in your blood. Both which can be spent in The City of Glass.
OOCSorry for the abrupt end but I found out I am about 10 days behind ending this. And with all the problems EnWorld had last week I didn't have time to run the numbers. I have tonight and everyone has reached LvL 2 congrats. I will be posting up the numbers tonight. And I hope a few of you can get into the adventures starting up at the inn.

Note: all other gear was misc and trades in GP for GP so not listing here. You can "spend" 100 gp for a longbow and say you got it from the thugs for fluff reasons if you wish. But there is no reason to list all the equipment out as it doesn't change the value of GP you receive for the game.

Total = 974xp
Encounter GP = 600

Posted on 11/17/2003 8:24:55 AM PST by Chancellor Palpatine
click here to read article
Is Moore a reconstructionist?
I don't know, but I've read a lot about him and several of his writings and haven't seen that. Given his position, it wouldn't make much sense for him to refuse the aid of any Christian group just because he doesn't agree with their eschatology (theology of the end times). That, I imagine, is why he has worked with Catholics (Alan Keyes) and dispensationalists (I'm pretty sure that's Jerry's position) who don't have the same views of the end times.
Disagree with anything ckca says=small minded, myopic
I wouldn't think y'all would understand that.
You might be surprised what we'd understand. Christians, like conservatives, don't fit the stereotypes of the Washington Post.
At any rate, even if we didn't understand, that wouldn't matter, as the primary political aim of Christians is to be left alone to practice our faith without government meddling. We want a much smaller government (more money in your pocket). We want to end socialist education (no more property taxes and you can send your children to the market-accountable school of your choice and still have money left over).
Our strongest discipline is expulsion from the church, so we don't hold on to those, including women, who grew up among us but want to leave the church and pursue another path.
So what's so scary?
Your Imminence, your Disgraces, my Thorns, Shadies, and Gentledevils: I give you the toast of Principal Slubgob and the College!
C.S. Lewis--"Screwtape Proposes a Toast"
If your strongest discipline is expulsion from the church, and that's how you like it and want it to remain, if you want school choice, if you want much smaller government, etc., etc. then this article is not even about you. I know this article isn't about me, and I'm a Christian; Southern Baptist, specifically.
It seems as if those are somewhat libertarian goals. The people on this thread which you are arguing with, while nice people, have a great fear of libertarianism/constitutionalism/small-government. Basically New-Deal fans domestically with strong foreign policy views.
The chancellor emphasized that none of his children were socialists; he doesn't seem to be a New Deal fan. Hopefully he'll correct me if I'm wrong. But if not, his views should be very compatible with a more biblical government.
And CP's basic premise has been derailed and forgotten. That is success.
CP's premise is very clear and to the point. All you have demonstrated is your inability to present an intelligent argument. Or for that matter any argument at all.
Your posts have shown that Reconstructionism Theology is backed by people with an inability to present an intelligent argument.
I also don't get what's so scary about the big, bad Reconstructionists.
If I understand correctly, they envision an eventual world where Christ has opened the hearts of nearly everyone to the glory of His kingdom.
Shudder. A fate worse than death for some, it would appear. Can't have too much of that glory; we might lose sight of the really important stuff.
I haven't seen that either--but Moore is finally free from judicial restraint. I'll be interesting in the upcoming months to see what he does and says.
If you really take the article's undocumented and biased assertions seriously, then how do you account for this one statement?
"...income taxes would not exceed ten percent..."
Your protestations are laughable, and your allegations unsupported by this piece of Democrat dreck. About the only "political kingdom" one could build on 9% tax revenue is a Libertarian-styled one. How many jack-booted, stone-wielding, Reconstructionist thugs can they afford to put on every street corner (and thus on the government dole), if the taxation rate can't exceed 10%?
By "sexual deviants," I think he means anyone other than people who engage exclusively in married, missionary position sex with the lights off.
I think that's kind of a cleaned-up version of the ideology. There also seems to be this under-current where people who refuse to accept their particular ideology would find themselves disenfranchised, or worse.
And after reading your post #224, I realize now where you're coming from, M and M.
He's accomplished turning the thread into a discussion of the posters rather than a discussion of the article. Perhaps that was his intent.
You're assuming they'd need to pay people to do this. You have a few people on this very thread who seem willing to volunteer.
Well, all I can suggest is that you reread the article carefully and familiarize yourself with the people mentioned in the article and judge for yourself. As a Christian homeschooler, I am familiar with most of people mentioned and have personally met some of them The article was written in 1999 and the poster of the article is a freeper known to bait and incite anyone with a faith in God and all the morals and values attributed to that faith. It was posted for the sole purpose of causing disruption and arguments. CP thrives on baiting Christians. He's got mud in his tires.
"Theonomy" and "Christian Reconstruction" are terms that are thrown around loosely to ensnare the gullible. Most of it is traditional Calvinism.
The best place to start is Cornelius Van Til.

Skill Level Advanced
In this exercise, I'm going to introduce you to yet another way to create a Camera Raw Smart Object and yet another way to employ Camera Raw Smart Objects as well, something that's a little more practical I believe. So let's say I'm assembling this advertisement here for new line of products. I'm not sure exactly what they are going to shake out to be, whether it's fashion or it's fragrance, something along those lines, but we are calling it McClellando and this time I'm my own client so that's handy. But I have already got the composition worked out here, at least a little bit.
I have some text that I have rasterized. I have got a background layer. That's about it so far. I need some imagery in here and actually what we are going to do is combine a couple of shots of the same model. And this is sort of your traditional yearbook technique you will see. So you can use it in a lot of different ways. All right, since I already have my composition open, I'll go to the File menu and choose the Place command and I was telling you that the Place command always generates a Smart Object and this is true when you import Camera Raw images as well. And if you loaded Dekekeys you have got a keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+Shift+Alt+D, Command+Shift+Option+ D. Mash your fist, D, and that will go ahead and take you to the 26_smart_ objects. Scroll down the list and you will see two images called Madhu-1.dng and Madhu-2.dng both of them. So they are both Camera Raw images.
Now this technique, you've got to have raw images in the first place. This isn't going to work for your JPEGs and your TIFFs. You will just bring in your JPEGs and TIFFs as standard pixel- based Smart Objects like we saw with the germ. But because these are raw images, we'll have Camera Raw Smart Objects. By the way, Madhu is the name of the model. The images come to us from photographer Paul Piebinga of istockphoto.com, who kindly provided us these images. They are not even part of the iStockphoto library. These are custom just for us. All right, so go ahead and grab Madhu-1. dng. You can only place one image at a time.
I have already set my settings the way want them. You can adjust them, if you want. I'm not going to, I'm just going to click OK. And notice I don't have an Open Image button and Open Object button, anything like that. It's just the OK button once again, as we saw with the Camera Raw Smart Object when we were editing the Camera Raw Smart Objects. That's because that's what we are going to get. We are going to get a Camera Raw Smart Object. All right, so click OK. It comes in. We got the place boundary and everything. 82.2% is what fits inside of my composition. So I'll just go ahead and accept that by pressing the Enter key and then I'll move this image into position here and I want it right about here, so her neck is between the N and the O in Unknown (& Inexpensive) Model For, because I couldn't afford to hire a celebrity is the idea. So I'm just going with the absolutely beautiful human being instead.
All right, and you can see that this is a Camera Raw Smart Object, awesome. I'm going to go ahead and collapse the Adjustment palette for a moment. Right now, let's go ahead and place the other image. So I'll press that keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+Shift+Alt+D or Command+Shift+ Option+D on the Mac, but that's only if you loaded Dekekeys. Otherwise you are going to have to choose Place from the File menu. Then get Madhu-2.dng, click on the Place button. I have already set up the settings the way I want them. I'll click OK. The second view of our model comes into view here, heaves into view, if you will and I'll go ahead and move my composition over just a little bit and snap her into place and this looks wonderful and I press the Enter key or the Return key on the Mac and there she is.
And now of course at this point I go, no, not so wonderful actually. I don't want her being the exact same size. She is looking at her nose or I don't know what's going on here. I want her, this her the one in profile, I want that to be big like she is near us, like she is closer to us so that they are at different depths away from us that I. So she is a little more distant, she is closer and warmer and it's more intimate that kind of thing. All right, so she needs to be bigger, it's what that means. So I can press Ctrl+T, Command+T on the Mac and this is going to be a nondestructive transformation. We still have all that stuff. We still have nondestructive transformations and we still have instances and all that wonderful jazz even when we are working with a Camera Raw variety of Smart Object and so I go up here to the Options bar and I go, no, not 54.8%, let's go ahead and click on that link and let's change it to 82.2%, which is how the other version of the model came in.
That looks good and then I'll press the Enter key or the Return key on the Mac and now let's go ahead and move her into the proper place. I want her chin sort of wrap it around the A right there and her lip, the bottom of her lip should be right beyond the V, between the I and the V right there. And I actually want to move her up just a little bit. Let's take her up to about there. I think it's going to work out pretty nicely. Now you may look at and say Deke, you are out of your mind. That doesn't work nicely at all. I can't help but notice and maybe you did too, that this white background is shaving away her other face and that's a terrible thing. Hey! That's okay, because we can address this. You might think masking? No, we don't need masking. All we need is the Multiply blend mode.
So if you go up to the Blend Mode pop- up menu right there and choose Multiply, you will notice that the white drops away completely and then we see the other version of the model in the background. Isn't that great? And no masking necessary, just a blend mode. Blend modes work just as well with Smart Objects. All your parametric operations are going to work just as well with your Smart Objects as they do with your Adobe objects, your regular old pixel-based layers. Now then, she is in the foreground, she is in the background. She is in the light, she is in the darkness. She should be a little closer to us, little more intimate, a little darker in terms of her tonality. So tell you what we are going to do, we are going to edit her as a Camera Raw Smart Object. That's no surprise.
So go ahead and double-click on the thumbnail for Madhu-2 for the model in profile and we are going to take the Brightness value down to 0. That's nice and then I'll tab down to the Saturation value and take it down to +10. So I'll press Shift+Down Arrow to change it from +20 to +10. Click OK in order to return to Photoshop and we get this effect right there. That is a nice composition I think and so easy to put together. Thanks to Camera Raw Smart Objects and the Multiply blend mode working together.
Now if you would shot your images against a dark screen, because you know the classic yearbook look and you have the model looking light against that black screen, let's say, try to keep it black if possible, then you can of course, adjust your settings inside of Camera Raw to get that background as black as possible, just as I adjusted my settings inside Camera Raw to make sure my backgrounds were as white as possible. Then you would use the Screen mode instead of Multiply. So just so you know when you are trying out your own compositions that resemble this in any way, shape or form.
In the next and final exercise of this chapter, I'm going to show you how to take this text right here and turn it into inversion text. Text that inverts everything behind it. This is such a cool trick. Stay tuned.

Creating a Successful Virtual Assistant Business doesn't have to be so hard.
Virtual Assistant Survival School
is no longer accepting new enrollments.
We are sad to announce that Virtual Assistant Survival School is closing it's doors and is no longer accepting new enrollments. However, you can find some of the same great information in the Udemy course "How to Work From Home as a Virtual Assistant" created by Virtual Assistant Survival School instructor Tina Marie Hilton.
Sure, this program is priceless. Just ask our students. But we know that paying thousands of dollars to get the help you need is usually out the reach of those that need it. That's why we offer affordable, monthly payment plans.
Due to the wonderful information you have provided me with the Virtual Assistant Survival Training, I have landed a couple of clients and was actually working! Wish I could have joined the call but will hopefully be able to make the next one.
...I think the course is amazing & I have learned more in just the past few weeks than I have doing months of research.
Easy, clear, concise and we love Tina Marie Hilton!
If you are seriously thinking of starting your own Virtual Assistant business, I cannot stress enough the importance of researching and tapping into the many resources out there available for the many novice VA's. I have had the ultimate opportunity to "tap into" one of the master minds of this business! Tina Marie Hilton, owner of Clerical Advantage and VA Survival School has been instrumental in helping me get started and setting me on the right path to being a success in this business.
I have been following Tina Hilton since I opened my own VA business in the summer of 2011. Her blogs, webinars, coffee chats and Virtual Assistant Survival School material have greatly enhanced my education as well my business. She has even taken time out of her extremely busy day to have a one-on-one with me concerning a client or contract matter of mine. Tina is committed to not only supporting her clients but coaching and supporting her colleagues in this industry and genuinely wants our businesses to succeed. Thank you, Tina, for sharing your wealth of Girly Girl Geek knowledge and experience with others!
I just wanted to tell you that I'm only flipping through the first section of the course, and what an EXCELLENT job you did! I'm super-excited...

I thought I knew what I was doing. The texts looked good from a distance. Once I paid my money, I discovered that Microsoft courses are really, really bad. Then, one had to pass 6 different exams, to get the MCSE certification. The exams borrowed from all the courses, which meant you had to take all the courses to hope to pass the exams. The exams cost around $100 per exam. It may be up to $200 now. The tests are set up to fail experienced network engineers. Some of them failed the exams, a 2nd and 3rd time through.
The tests are set up so you need a lot of on the job experience, to pass them. I thought paying for education got you the knowledge to pass tests, and then get the job, but this is not the Microsoft way. People already working as uncertified MCSEs found the Microsoft tests hard, and some couldn't pass them. Each text, then, ran around $200, which I was also not told up front. Also, to hope to pass the test, you had to buy test prep software, which was quite expensive. This was left out of the sales presentation.
With a salesman paid mostly on commission, no surprises in that. I ended up paying out around $15,000+, for the tuition, software, and books. For almost nothing. There wasn't much I could do about it. Many other people were in the same boat, some had been laid off and were only given 6 months to get certified, and for someone without extensive previous experience, it was extremely difficult. I found learning foreign languages eaiser. And gosh, do the salespeople lie about the great jobs you'll get when you're all done. MCSE certification is much harder to get, now.
If you are planning on doing any advanced Microsoft Certifications, know that everything the salesman says is probably a lie, and you need to talk to people already working in the field, to get good information.

Peas for Kids
Posted By Toni Fiore On April 20, 2007 @ 5:21 pm In Vegetables | No Comments
Peas for Kids
Vegetables are a tough sell for children, yet sugar and sweetened foods seem to go over without a hitch. Here is a recipe that takes sweet peas and makes them sweeter in a natural way that seems to appeal to most children. Pecans add chewy texture, nutrition, and yes, enough sophistication to make this a great adult side dish as well. Pine nuts or walnuts can be substituted for pecans, although pecans and honey make a great team.
1 lb. frozen organic petit peas
1 1/2 T. vegan margarine
1 1/2 T. organic honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar
1/4 c. chopped pecans
To prepare:
Bring three cups of water to a boil. Drop in the peas and cook for 3-5 minutes or just until heated through. Drain well.
Melt the margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar and the pecans. Stir and allow the nuts to cook for a minute or two. Add in the peas, stir to combine and serve.
If the peas go over well, try the same recipe with cooked frozen green beans, lima beans, or carrots. The pecan topping is also wonderful over lightly steamed or roasted sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are another terrific tasting and very healthy vegetable, and children usually like them. Just be sure not to overcook them as texture plays an important role in acceptability. These vegetable sides are great served with a veggie burger, over rice, or with my Tofu Bites [1].
