Team Curagami (http://www.Curagami.com ) has, over the course of our combined careers, helped thousands of clients build websites and about 99% have cart before the proverbial horse. "What is our design going to look like," they ask.
Most think "web design" is creating the look and feel of a site. Actually the look and feel, while important, is at least #6 on the "do these things to create a great web presence" list. Here are the first 5 things on that list:
1. Elevator Pitch - Who Are You?
If we were riding in an elevator could you explain your business before we reached your floor? If NO is your answer you are not alone and you need to go back to the drawing board and practice until you have your "elevator pitch" down. All things flow from that defining snippet.
Tags can help define your elevator pitch. Curagami.com Cool Tools For Ecommerce Merchants explains what we do in 5 words. Note that I don't have the the site yet so do as we are saying not as we do (always :).
2. Pain Point - Whose Your Tribe?
We create stuff to DO SOMETHING. Your product or service must help some tribe. Curagami helps ecommerce merchants understand content marketing because finding the balance beam between content that works and content that hurts is a CSF (Critical Success Factor) for ecommerce merchants. So our tribe begins with ecom merchants and we address the PAIN of understanding content marketing. We don't LIMIT ourselves. We don't say, "Go away" to B2B SaaS clients but they are cream on the top of our core tribe and mission.
3. UCA - What Are Your Customers' Aspirations
Unique Customer Aspirations is a metrics we developed as Marketing Director for Atlantic BT. UCA speaks to the transformation your content, product and service creates. Yes Curagami helps merchants make more money, but we also relieve the STRESS of not knowing what to do and why. We help merchants have confidence in their content. No one can build sustainable online community (everyone's master goal whether they know it or not) without being confident in their ability to create, share and curate content. Content is king online and the implications of that statement go far and wide. It's not enough to know your tribes shape you must know their CHARACTER too. Our tribe is STRESSED OVERWHELMED and WORRIED. Anything we do to relieve any of that makes our content sticky and sure to be shared.
4. Know Difference Between Content CREATION and CURATION
Being able to create content is important. We suggest our clients create about 10% of content from unique brand based strings. 90% of the content we want clients to share, discuss and riff off of comes from gurus, customers and THE OTHER. The other is anyone other than you and keeping tabs on your category information, knowing what matters most to your readers and why and understanding the need to tuck ego in back pocket and share competitive information is one of the hardest skills we teach. Web marketing is MOSTLY about THEM not YOU so knowing when you need to blog vs. when you need to comment is key.
5. Know Social Marketing Basics
I'm staying at The Blackwell Inn in Ohio while being treated at Ohio State's James Cancer Center. I've tweeted several positive comments @theBlackwell. Noneof those comments have been ReTweeted and they don't follow me.
My social following dwarfs theirs so breaking the FOLLOW BACK rule hurts 'em. By not picking up my @tweets they discourage such shares and lose the value of that communication (that they actually LISTEN and CARE). I think they do listen and care, but they don't have the skills to do so ONLINE. Before you create a website you need to know what's up in social media.
The Blackwell's lackof knowledge isn't fatal since they are located on Ohio State's campus and are the ONLY such hotel so located. They can SUCK at social media (for a bit) without pain. Doubtful your website, especially if it brand spanking new can afford such a deficit.
Since the master goal of your site is the creation of sustainable online community NOT understanding the implied contracts and un-stated ways social media works can be DEADLY.
Know those 5 things and we can begin to discuss wireframes, look and feel and visual marketing :). Marty
One More Thing - reason this stuff is so important, as my friend Frank Pollock would explain, is the web is a lie detecting amplifier. If you lie it will be shared with the world and known instantly or before, so don't lie. If you are CONFUSED, as many SMBs are, get STRAIGHT before you put crayon to paper and design a site or risk having your confusion being your main message.

Well, it turns out that The Biebs was actually filming a music video for his just-released new song All That Matters. Unfortunately for Bieber, a rough cut of the video leaked its way online for our viewing pleasure. On the plus side, the video doesn't feature any embarrassing footage of JB being carried around like a child so … he can pretend to still have "swag" in this video.

Three generations of the Gordon family harvested a buck this hunting season.
I received a call from Stephen at the Enterprise office, and my first thought was "What did I mess up?"
When he got on the phone, I was told this was one of the early deadline weeks (office was closed Monday).
"I knew that, but thanks for calling" was my response. That's what I said. What I thought was, oh crap, forgot all about that!
So, here I sit, five days after turning in my last column, wondering what to write about.
It's been cold, real cold! When it's this cold the inclination is to hunker down and avoid "being out in it" as much as possible.
You know who complains the most? Not those who have to be out in it for extended time. It's those whose exposure is limited to that distance between their vehicle and a building. This is usually around 50 yards and three minutes of "exposure time."
Finally, after scouting for days, heck weeks, I found a field that a small flock of Canada geese were using (feeding in). One field, one flock. That's it!
Anyway, Tate, my 11-year-old grandson, was coming over from Adair County, and we figured on giving the geese a try. I'd previously tweaked his interest by having him "watch" the geese, so he was hyped at an opportunity to shoot one.
Have you ever had the feeling that things, especially bugs, were crawling on you. Especially at night!
Imagine you're in bed, feet tucked under the blankets, where it's dark, the kind of place where spiders like to hang out. All of a sudden you feel "something."
And it feels like it's moving.
But is it, or isn't it?
Hallie Downs, 8, killed her first deer on Dec. 28 while hunting with her dad, Justin Gardner.
Well, this is shaping up, so far, to be the season that wasn't ... for waterfowlers, anyway!
I heard and saw a few cranes fly over, but nowhere near the number of birds we usually see. The cranes are usually an indicator that the Canada geese aren't far behind.
Every year I talk about gift cards as the perfect gift.
And, every year, someone will tell me how "impersonal" a gift card is.
I sort of see their point. It's almost like saying, "I don't care enough to actually shop for your gift."
Andy Cox killed his first seven-point buck on Oct. 11. He is the son of Stuart and Kristen Cox. His grandparents are Rodger and Betty Cox and Marty and Julie Thomas.
I love December! I enjoy the hunting seasons and ... dare I admit it ... even the weather! Now if we could just designate which days would be "high blue" and those that'd be "nasty dark," it'd be perfect.

I'm 4 weeks from surgery now. I was supposed to have breast augmentation with mastopexy, lipo of waist and love handles, and reversed tummy tuck. However, during surgery the doctor did not tuck the upper abdomen and avoided the mastopexy. The lower abdomen tuck is OK. The implants, however, are still very high and my breasts seem to be hanging down the implants, with nipples pointing down. The upper abdomen is loose and the love handles are still puffed and soft. Will I need revision surgery?
How Long Before I See Mommy Makeover Results?
Doctor Answers 12
Mommy Makeover Results
Mommy Makeover Results will reveal themselves in several stages. In the immediate post-op period, the patient will see dramatic changes in the placement, shape and size of their breasts. There will be some swelling in the breasts, so over the next 8 to 12 weeks, the breasts will "settle". In addition, any scars will go through a series of changes from the " surgical" line look of the early post-op period, to the slightly red, raised look of the first several months, to the mature , white scar that will emerge up to 2 years. Mastopexy surgery with implants can be tricky as implants occasionally will ride to high with the skin and nipples hanging below the implant. On occasion, patient's will need revisionary surgery to correct this deformity. At 4 weeks, you should discuss the implant placement with your doctor as an elastic strap above the breasts can sometimes override the tendency to sit too high on the chest wall.
The abdominal component of the mommy makeover will also go through a series of changes. If you have severe diastasis or stretching and splaying of your abdominal wall muscles, you will notice an instant, dramatic change in your abdomen. The skin component of your abdomen is likely to be swollen in the early healing phase. Abdominal swelling will dramatically decrease over the first 3 months and then more subtle changes will occur up to 2 years. Swelling reduces from top down so patients can expect swelling to disappear first in the breast, later the upper abdomen, and finally the lower abdomen and the pubic area. Liposuction swelling takes up to at least 8 weeks to see a final result.
Revision after mommy makeover
Majority of Changes in the body Occur Within the First 6 Months Following Mommy Makeover Surgery
Wound healing following mommy makeover surgery is a dynamic process that continues for up to a year following surgery. During this period, swelling slowly resolves, muscles relax, wounds regain their strength, and implants settle as gravity works. The majority of these changes occur in the first six months following surgery.
After only four weeks, it's impossible to predict whether or not you will need revisional surgery. This is especially true in light of the fact that pre and post-operative pictures aren't available to help with this assessment.
It's concerning that both breast lift surgery and reverse abdominoplasty surgery were scheduled, but not performed. This is bothersome because you appear to have significant amounts of redundant upper abdominal skin and sag of your native breast tissue.
This situation will require close monitoring. It's therefore important that you stay in close contact with your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to evaluate your progress and take appropriate steps if they prove necessary.

Mommy Makeover Results
Thank you for your question.
You will start seeing your results at 3-6 months post op surgery. Your breast implants will need to settle into their pocket, the swelling needs to go away, etc..
Please allow your body time to heal and once you are at the 6 month mark, you can discuss revisionary surgery with your surgeon if you feel that there are issues that need to be concerned.
The scar can take up to one full year to mature - I usually ask my tummy tuck patients to wait a year before we do any type of scar revision.
I hope this helps.

Results make take 2-3 months to see after cosmetic surgery
It may take 2-3 months for all of your swelling to resolve before you see the results of your surgery.
Web reference: http://www.BaltimorePlasticSurgery.com
Mommy makeover result
I agree with my colleagues that 4 weeks is too short of time to see the final result of mommy makeover. It takes up to 3 months for the implants to "settle." As the implants "settle" in their pockets, the breast and nipples will appear to go up. However, if you are not happy with your result at 3 months, you should wait at least 6 months before undergoing a revisional surgery. In terms of liposuction and tummy tuck, also give another month to see your final result. Meanwhile, wear abdominal binder/garment around your trunk area and limit physical activities/exercises.
Mommy Makevoer results
You did not make it clear on why you did not have the surgeries that you were supposed to. As for the other procedures taht you had, you have to give it time for the swelling to go down.
Web reference: http://www.stevenwallachmd.com
When will I see results?
In general it takes 6 weeks to 3 months to see results from surgery. Wounds generally heal in six weeks but then change over the next year during the remodeling phase. Breast surgery involving lifting and implant placement at the same time is challenging and requires at least the above noted time to settle. I would recommend that you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon as without seeing pictures it is difficult to discuss your particular case.
Web reference: http://www.drvitenas.com/mommy-makeover.html
Four weeks after mommy makeover is too early to see results
Four weeks after mommy makeover is too early to see results. I commonly tell my patients that it will take 6-9 months to see the long term results of breast augmentation surgery. Give it more time. You are still depositing scar tissue and it has not yet begun to mature.
Web reference: http://www.bodysculptor.com/other-procedures-chicago/labiaplasty-and-mommy-makeover/
Results after Mommy Makeover
The final results after mommy makeover procedures will be observed at different times after surgery. Liposuction usually take several weeks to produce its final appearance, depending on the amount of fat removed and how much the skin needs to shrink. The position of breast implants may change over the course of the first few weeks after breast augmentation. Excess skin from an the abdomen and flanks is removed at the time of abdominoplasty and that should be apparent very soon after surgery once swelling resolves.

When Bill Knipple of Altoona was a kid, he liked to watch war movies with his friends, and he and they all became eager to be like those movies' heroes.
So Knipple had no qualms about going to Korea, when the war broke out there in 1950.
"It seemed like a great adventure," said Knipple, who will be honored during the Veterans Day parade today in Altoona as a Korean War vet, 60 years after the war ended.

Bill Knipple examines his uniform at his home on Wednesday.
When it ended, Knipple felt a bit different than he had heading over, having experienced combat - and 2 years as a prisoner of war.
"I really don't curse the days I've had," Knipple said. "But I wouldn't really call it an adventure, after all."
Now 81, Knipple is glad he served his country and did "the right thing" and glad he had the strength and energy - "what it took" - to survive.
Fact Box
10 a.m.: Altoona Veterans Day parade sponsored by Blair County War Veterans Council, followed by ceremonies to honor area Korean War vets at Robert E. Laws Veterans Mall, 11th Street
"[But] it was awfully sad for the fellows who didn't," he said. "I was one of the lucky ones that adapted."
Bob Larson, 79, also of Altoona, was gung-ho going in, too.
"I wanted to get medals," Larson said. "I [was] going to take on the whole North Korean army."
Until they started shooting at him, he said.
Then he was afraid.
Afraid enough he would feel the urge to...
It wasn't clear if he was speaking literally or joking.
"There's no glory in war," Larson said. "I was proud of the fact that I served, but I wouldn't want to do it again."
Knipple was a radio operator.
After a seasickness-riddled trip over the Pacific, his unit "went in behind the Marines" in a mop-up role at Pusan Harbor at the southern end of the Korean Peninsula.
He would go out on patrols as one of two radio operators.
He participated in further mop-up work after the historic landing of the Marines at Inchon, which was in the middle of the peninsula.
Then he returned to Pusan, then back by ship to Inchon, then to the Yalu River in the far north, on the border with China, then back by ship to Pusan, then north again to the 37th Parallel, near the middle of the peninsula.
It was at this point in his peregrinations - Jan. 20, 1951 - that he was captured.
They were on patrol, starting in the morning with a platoon of about 35 men.
They left a village, went down a hill, crossed a road and started into an area of bushes and trees.
There were many dead enemy soldiers - North Koreans - lying on the ground. They went through a flat area and into a valley.
They received radio messages that the enemy was nearby and that the sergeant in charge should check their coordinates.
But the sergeant said they weren't there yet.
About noon, they entered a ravine with a stream, which they began to cross.
Knipple was in line five or six soldiers behind the sergeant, when they roused enemy soldiers sleeping under their overcoats.
Those enemy soldiers rose and began firing.
The Americans returned fire and withdrew to the cover of the stream bank.
Then enemy solders began shooting at the platoon from the other side.
They ran out of ammunition as night began to fall, and the sergeant was wounded in the groin.
Their radios were out of commission, so they couldn't call for help.
The sergeant decided they should surrender, so they threw their weapons and radios into the water, to destroy them, as required by the Army, to prevent the enemy from taking advantage.
They also threw their helmets in, knowing they wouldn't be needing them anymore, and glad to be rid of them.
There were about 18 of them left, including five in bad shape.
The North Koreans accepted their surrender and marched the capable ones to the enemy unit's command post in a village about 15 minutes away, leaving the wounded behind, which Knipple regarded as "humanitarian."
They took Knipple's gloves, scarf, lighter and cigarettes.
Later, they took his heavy clothing and boots, everything except his dog tags and a P-38 can opener.
They gave him an old pair of leather shoes and marched him northward, village to village.
Most of those villages were abandoned.
They marched by night and slept by day, hiding from the U.S. Air Force.
"That was one of our biggest fears," Knipple said.
The American pilots couldn't tell who they were.
They made no smoke, because if they did, the planes would strafe them and fire rockets.
They ate whatever they could find when they stopped, usually sorghum or soybeans.
If they saw a dog, they ate dog that day.
In February, they reached a large cave.
About 100 South Korean prisoners were on one end, while American GIs were on the other.
About May, they moved to what he called "the bean camp," where they got soybeans and sorghum in hot water morning and evening.
At some point about this time, the Chinese took over.
China had entered the war on the North Korean side in October 1950.
They stayed in buildings where the Japanese had kept American POWs during World War II.
Some prisoners tried to mark the roofs, writing "POW" to warn U.S. pilots not to bomb, but the Chinese caught and punished them.
And the U.S. bombed the compound, nearly killing Knipple.
He was hunkered in a cellar, and a bomb caved in the foundation wall, which collapsed on him.
"I was breathing my last, when one of the guys dug me out," he said. "I think I sort of passed out."
They moved him again, in a group of about 70 POWs.
At the new location, he almost died again, this time from sheer weakness.
"I was down on my last legs," he said.
But he revived, when they moved him yet again, a day's march, to a mining camp.
The next morning, he was able to eat.
He stayed at that camp until October 1951.
Then they moved him again, another day's march, to a schoolhouse on a hill.
There, the Communist Chinese held classes for the prisoners.
"They fed us a lot of propaganda," Knipple said.
In broken English, they'd try to convince the prisoners "how bad America was" and how Americans were being exploited by the capitalists, he said.
"You just kept your mouth shut," Knipple said.
Otherwise they'd put the prisoners "out in all kinds of weather in a cage," he said.
They moved him a final time, taking him to a village called Chong-song, where the prisoners lived in grass huts made of corn stalks and sorghum cane, with mud mortar.
There were three rooms and 10 prisoners in their hut, a dirt floor covered with cane rugs and a mud-mortared stone hearth equipped with an iron pot in which they cooked rice.
There was a tunnel under the floor where the smoke traveled, heating the hut, before going up and out.
They could go down to a river that bisected the village to wash.
They gave the prisoners padded cotton outfits - dark blue for summer, light blue for winter.
They wore padded cotton shoes in summer, sneakers in winter.
After a time, as peace talks progressed, the Chinese gave the prisoners toothbrushes, toothpaste and soap.
They had names for their jailers, including "Firsty-Lasty" and "Pistol Pete."
But conditions generally were better under the Chinese than under the North Koreans.
"They were looking toward us more as good people," Knipple said. "They were humanitarian."
Yet it wasn't wise to cross "the line."
Once, at a propaganda assembly, others prisoners let loose with catcalls.
"The burp guns came out," Knipple said. "We didn't eat good after that."
And there were outdoor cages.
He avoided those by keeping his mouth shut and cooperating.
He was liberated in August of 1953.
His subconscious hasn't let the experience go.
After coming home, he'd get "tremendous" migraine headaches.
Once, delirious with pneumonia and "rolled into a ball," he yelled out, "Don't hit me, I'm sick" - in Chinese, his wife Betty said.
Still, he feels "like the good Lord watched over me," he said.
"A lot of guys didn't make it," he said. "I guess their bodies broke down, or their willpower."
Larson went to Korea in February 1953.
He was a gunner in helicopters that went out on pilot rescue missions.
Then he was reassigned to the infantry. They went into the hills for 60 days at a time.
It was miserably cold, and the wind never stopped, he said.
They patrolled at night and slept during day.
They peed on their guns to thaw them.
By standing order, they never zipped their sleeping bags, so they could get out quickly, as Dutch soldiers had been unable to do when attacked.
They'd been killed by bayonets.
They didn't change clothes, except for their socks.
By standing order, they changed socks frequently, keeping one pair under their armpits, so they'd be dry.
Korean workers brought them supplies in 55-gallon drums strapped to their backs on frames.
When they came off line, they'd get deloused, go through showers and pick out clean clothes from piles, taking as many socks as they could.
Then they'd eat their fill in a mess hall - steak, mashed potatoes and pie.
They saw kids eating out of garbage cans.
They encountered one about 9, his mouth frozen shut with mucus.
They took him to the medics, who cleaned him up and sent him to an orphanage.
When the war ended July 27, 1953, servicemen fired their weapons all up and down the line.
As with Knipple, the experience didn't leave his subconscious.
His family members know not to waken him suddenly.
Once, when one of his daughters, as a child, came into his bedroom and asked for a drink, he flung out his arm and hit her in the chest, knocking her down.
If someone dropped something heavy at SKF, where he worked in the shipping department, he'd feel chills. If an airplane flew low above him, he'd crouch.
Roger Dodson, 95, Claysburg, who fought in World War II under General Patton in North Africa, Sicily and Italy, landed at Inchon in Korea and served as a motor sergeant for three weeks - before a colonel ordered him to take over a machine-gun-and-mortar platoon on the front lines.
"I was on the front lines for 11 solid months," Dodson said.
He remembers loading the frozen bodies of fellow soldiers.
"We threw them on the trucks like cordwood," he said.
He also remembers a decision that continues to haunt him.
His platoon was engaged.
Someone from another unit nearby yelled to him that his platoon was being surrounded.
He ordered his men out, and they crowded onto a 2-ton truck - into the cab, into the bed, onto the fenders, clinging.
They left behind one soldier, who was fighting with a North Korean and whom they couldn't reach.
He doesn't know what happened to that soldier.
"I had to get them out of there," he said of his men. "I was always sorry I had to leave one."
Dodson retired from the Army in 1962, to avoid being sent to Vietnam.
He joined the Air Force.
He retired from the Air Force in 1969, to avoid being sent - to Vietnam.
"I was already in two wars," he said. "I was not going to go to a third one."
Joe Wharton, 81, Altoona, worked on a Navy base in South Carolina, and there became acquainted with three members of the USS Hobson, a destroyer-minesweeper that periodically came into port there.
He played baseball with them.
In April 1952, as the war in Korea raged, the Hobson was cut in half and sunk by a U.S. aircraft carrier in the North Atlantic, while on maneuvers, a half a world away from the fighting.
The accident killed 176 crew members.
Among them was a Cross Keys sailor whom Wharton didn't know - C.F. Kuney, foster son of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Black and husband of Anna Marie Porte Kuney.
Wharton learned about the accident while eating lunch at the base, where there was a TV.
"I was shocked," he said.
He'd last seen his acquaintances eight months previous.
"We weren't close," he said. "But we were friends."
He doesn't remember their names now.
He thought about those friends from the Hobson after the most recent Memorial Day.
"I don't know why," he said. "I'd just like to have them remembered."

To find a da Vinci myomectomy surgeon, call 800-777-7775 or browse da Vinci physicians.
While hysterectomy is a proven way to resolve fibroids, it may not be the best surgical treatment for every woman. If, for example, you hope to later become pregnant, you may want to consider alternatives to hysterectomy like myomectomy. Myomectomy is a uterine-preserving procedure performed to remove uterine fibroids.
Each year, roughly 65,000 myomectomies are performed in the U.S.1 The conventional approach to myomectomy is open surgery, through a large abdominal incision.2 After cutting around and removing each uterine fibroid, the surgeon must carefully repair the uterine wall to minimize potential uterine bleeding, infection and scarring. Proper repair is also critical to reducing the risk of uterine rupture during future pregnancies.
While myomectomy is also performed laparoscopically, this approach can be challenging for the surgeon, and may compromise results compared to open surgery.3 Laparoscopic myomectomies often take longer than open abdominal myomectomies, and up to 28% are converted during surgery to an open abdominal incision.4
The minimally-invasive myomectomy, da Vinci® Myomectomy, combines the best of open and laparoscopic surgery. With the assistance of the da Vinci® Surgical System – the latest evolution in robotics technology – surgeons may remove uterine fibroids through small incisions with unmatched precision and control.
Among the potential benefits of da Vinci Myomectomy as compared to traditional open abdominal surgery are:
During da Vinci Myomectomy, your surgeon performs a minimally-invasive, yet remarkably precise, comprehensive reconstruction of the uterine wall (regardless of the size or location of your fibroids), which can help to prevent a possible uterine rupture (tearing) during future pregnancies.
If you are a candidate for myomectomy, talk to a gynecological surgeon who performs da Vinci Myomectomy.
While clinical studies support the effectiveness of the da Vinci® System when used in minimally invasive surgery, individual results may vary. Surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System may not be appropriate for every individual. Always ask your doctor about all treatment options, as well as their risks and benefits.

After a few hours sleep following Friday night's Tales of the Cocktail daiquiri contest I had, surprisingly, no hangover — score one for Bacardi! So, I went to the Hotel Monteleone to begin drinking at 10am. For work. A party thrown by OffBeat and fueled by the New Orleans liqueur Legendre Herbsaint.
Outside the hotel my first vision is a gaggle of gals in bright blue bathing suits playing a beanbag game in the street. Not totally unusual for New Orleans but… The ladies tossed on behalf of Deep Eddy Vodka and were giving out big-ass samples of its all-natural, glueten-free Sweet Tea vodka. I also witnessed Deep Eddy's V.P. of Marketing, Brandon Cason, taste Hoosier Mama bloody mary mix for the first time, homemade by Erin Edds of Indianapolis, Indiana who was also at the festival getting her indie marketing hustle on.
Inside the party was much mellower (and better lit) than the daiquiri fest. I gravitated to guitarist Mark Weliky of the Courtyard Kings who sat solo in the carpeted corner playing smooth jazz interspersed with the Super Mario Bros. theme and other pop tunes such as Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely." Stationed beside Mark was local bartender Sam Kane whose Herbsaint cocktail "Lucidity" was margarita-esque but not as sweet — better for morning time. The party revolved around co-hosts Sazerac and OffBeat's Melodic Mixology contest, which challenged local bartenders to create a daring Herbsaint cocktail named after or inspired by a New Orleans musician or song. The winning drink, "The Bell Gal," was concocted by the Carousel Bar's Michael Glassberg and inspired by Sweet Emma Barrett "I Ain't Gonna Give Nobody None Of This Jelly Roll." Glassberg, however, was called away unexpectedly prior to the event and unable to present his prize to the Tales crowd.
Someone at the party told me Herbsaint was an anagram for Absinthe, which also shares Herbsaint's menthol-ish flavor — something about prohibition and the absinthe ban blah blah blah. There was actually an Herbsaint historian on hand with a collection of vintage Herbsaint bottles that looked to have come from a pirate's chest, but since he was not serving any drinks per say, we did not spend much time together.
I spent more time failing to acquire a sample of the Oysters Rockefeller from the cooking demonstration. While strategically placing myself where the waiters could find me, I learned that the base of oysters Rockefeller is all vegetarian. Great. Where's mine? While drinking the oddly tart "Second Line," by Star Hodgson of Star Cocktails, I spoke with Fran Branch who, at the age of 60 was, before my eyes, eating her very first oyster. "And I'm from Maryland. Can you believe that?" she asked me, then explianed, "They just always looked gross. This one doesn't look gross." She forked a bite. "I like the spinach and stuff. If they cook 'em like this I'll eat 'em again." I told her that Oysters Rockafeller – anything cooked and with cheese, really – is the gateway bivalve.

BEYOND THE COAST Tarik Ayasun firstname.lastname@example.com Having traveled around the world for many years and negotiated many deals with various customers, distributors and some governmental organizations, I may claim to know something about what negotiations are all about. Negotiations are never "all or nothing." There does not have to be one winner and one loser.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - For all the millions he made in the movies and as a businessman, Gene Autry never saw his baseball team win a title.
The Angels came tantalizingly close in 1982 and '86, each time getting within a victory of reaching the World Series - only to lose.
Autry owned the Angels for more than three decades, and their lack of a pennant was a major disappointment.
"Believe me, I rode many a chase scenes during my career in films, but none compared to what I have encountered in baseball," Autry wrote in his 1978 autobiography "Back in the Saddle."
"In the movies I never lost a fight. In baseball I have hardly ever won one."
The Angels finally changed that this season, four years to the month Autry died at 91.
In the playoffs for the first time in 16 years, they defeated the New York Yankees; beat Minnesota to win their first AL pennant; and advanced to the World Series for the first time in the team's 42-year history.
"Here was a guy who had the money and ability to buy any player he wanted, and yet he was never able to win that big one," said singer Tony Orlando, who knew Autry. "I guarantee you not only is he back in the saddle, but he's sitting tall."
Four years after Autry's death, people still speak reverently about the nation's original singing cowboy, who always fought fair and loved his horse, Champion.
"I'm not saying he was a saint by any means, but he was like a good neighbor, someone that's always there," said country singer Roy Clark, who knew Autry for 40 years.
Even after the Angels upset New York in the AL division series, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner spoke respectfully of Autry.
Bench coach Joe Maddon, a 27-year employee, said Autry was a benevolent owner.
"He would come in here, not brandishing his cane, but would come in here and encourage us, telling us everything was going to be all right," Maddon said.
"We all felt like we belonged here, that we were going to be taken care of, and we knew that this guy truly had our best interests at heart."
Autry popularized the musical Western in 91 movies from the 1930s to the '50s that always contained a moral. His records include such favorites as "You Are My Sunshine" and "Here Comes Santa Claus."
A black-and-white photo of a smiling Autry in his cowboy hat is shown on the stadium's big screen during playoff games.
Anaheim fans have remembered Autry during the playoffs with hand-lettered signs such as "Win one for the Cowboy" and "Back in the saddle again," a reference to Autry's signature song.
"He would be very pleased about this team," Jackie Autry said.
Autry's No. 26 framed jersey hangs in the Angels clubhouse and has been retired by the club. It's a reference to him being the extra man on the 25-player roster.
At 19, he was offered a $100-a-month contract with a farm club of the St. Louis Cardinals. Already making $150 as a telegrapher, he turned it down.
Well into his 80s, Autry remained a regular clubhouse visitor, talking freely about any topic that came up.
"He loved his players," reliever Troy Percival said. "We're still doing this with him in mind."
One of right fielder Tim Salmon's cherished keepsakes is an old 45 rpm record of "Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer," which he picked up at auction and had Autry sign.
"It hangs on our wall at Christmas," Salmon said.
He remembered digging up old comic books featuring Autry and giving them to his father, who brought them to a game when he sat in Autry's box.
"Mr. Autry signed every single one of them," Salmon said. "He went through them and talked to my dad about every story line in each one of those comics, and my dad was like a kid again."

When you plan a trip to Florida, you expect to get out of the snow and ice of Ohio. Winter seems to keep hanging on in Ohio this winter as evidenced by snow in late March! However, the weather has been nice recently on the west coast of Florida, so I headed to a special restaurant that has been on my "to do" list for years!
I have wanted to visit The Broken Egg for several years. It's an institution in the Siesta Key/Sarasota area. Founded in 1985, it is still making incredible egg dishes and greeting people from all over the world. This initial visit occurred on a warmer (about 45 degrees) and sunny morning. Situated in Lakewood Ranch, right off of University Parkway and Interstate 75, it is easy to find and even easier to fall in love with.
If the weather is nice, it's the perfect spot to sit outside under an umbrella and soak in the sun and palm trees. If you want the real ambiance of the restaurant, though, step inside the double doors. As we walked across the threshold, so did Mr. Dick Vitale, the 'colorful' color analyst for ESPN. He's a regular at the Siesta Key location and he was in the Lakewood Ranch location selling his books to fund The V Foundation for Cancer Research. A nice guy and I am looking forward to reading his books...but I digress.
Local artists' paintings cover the 20 foot-high walls and palm-shaped fan paddles keep the wonderful aromas wafting throughout the restaurant. I would imagine it seats about 60 people indoors and perhaps about the same outdoors.
The menu is what really "CRACKED" me up. It is eggsactly that – a large egg-shaped menu with zigzags down the middle to model a cracked egg. Opening up the menu was like opening up a great novel – dish after dish sounding better than the next. For you liver fans out there, one of the morning specials was liver and eggs. I just simply wasn't that adventuresome.
My dad ordered the "Broken Eggwich", which included two eggs, smoked ham, American cheese on a large croissant with fresh fruit for $7.59. I order "The Sheepherder", which had two eggs poached over incredible hash browns with cheddar and Swiss cheese, fresh fruit and raisin cinnamon toast for $8.29. My husband ordered "The Sampler", including one egg, bacon, incredible hash browns and a pancake as large as a dinner plate! My mom ordered a beautiful raspberry and pecan pancake.
I love the fact that THE BROKEN EGG also serves breakfast for dinner, a trend that I see happening all over the country. And they even make office deliveries for breakfast and lunch and cater all sorts of parties and celebrations. People LOVE eggs!
So, if you get to the Sarasota/Bradenton area on the west coast of Florida and you are looking for a great place to have your eggs over easy, hard-cooked, scrambled or dressed up, try out THE BROKEN EGG. They do eggs proud.

Someone asked roughly officially recognized ways to bring soaring...?
I can't find the question but.. www.budhookup.com have all kind of legal blends you can smoke as resourcefully as 'mood enhancing' pills. I have never tried it, but I get a spam email about it and I looked at their page. It may be of some assist to you.
Just because its legal doesn't fashion it safe or ok. Get on a roller coaster and relish a natural adrenaline high-ranking! Much better than smoking something weird
I tried this official type of high from tea leaves bought from a smoke shop. The leaves or herb be called salva or something similar to that. It was the most horrible experience I have. My mind was out of this world for more or less a minute - no control of my body & just not surrounded by the room anymore when my body is still frozen there. I still don't twig how it is legal, I guess because it be not long.
If you got it from a spam email, I counsel to not even take a look it at. Do you really reflect on any spam mail seller are trying to give you a suitable time without the consequences or try to rip you stale? That's why its called spam communication - your going to trust them with your form? Good luck then.
Yeah in that are legal pills surrounded by herbal shops and even goth shops like tiger lilly,They are out of danger but the effects are unreliable as they can happen up to 15 hours next when you least ecpect it and the hallucination are really vivid.I wouldnt bother with them, they are more expensive than unofficial pills and to unpredictable.If you are going to do illegal pills later know your dealer, put together sure they are ecstasy and not a mix of rubbish and you should be not dangerous.Dont take 2pc or X5.
It doesn't realy work. I get an email too and decided to do some research. The adjectives thing is freshly a scan. They do have a network site, but as for the products, they are all imitation and if you do send within your money to " buy" anything, they take the money and never provide you anything. Like I said. It's all a scam.
It's necessarily wild lettuce. if you smoke closely of it, you might get for a while high. but it's not a reliable passageway to do so from what i've read. and they actually do distribute you a product though.
I really like praire sage, or western sage. You can obtain it at most occolt or homopathic shops. You can burn it like insence, or roll it. a touch peppery, but i love it.

Cooler Master Seidon 120M Review
The Build
Published: 3rd April 2013 | Source: Cooler Master | Price: £41.99 |
The Build
Although the instructions aren't the clearest in the world, and depending on the quality of your eyesight may require you approach them Sherlock Holmes style with a magnifying glass, they are, none-the-less, sufficient enough to enable even the most ham-fisted amongst you to get the job done. Just expect to do a lot of squinting. The parts come bagged and labelled with it being fairly easy to determine which bit's you've going to need for your chosen CPU.
Job one is to attach the retaining brackets to the Cold plate. The Intel and AMD ones do look very similar and both attach in the same way by means of 4 small grub screws passing through from underneath.
Next up is to screw in the Motherboard retaining bolts. If you're using anything other than 2011 then you'll also be screwing through to a back plate at this point. Cooler Master have provided a socket with a screw driver adaptation to allow you to get them tightened down.
Remembering to add your TIM (all too easy to forget in the heat of the moment), the cold plate is carefully lined up with the retaining bolts. Sprung loaded screws on each corner of the cold plate bracket are then pushed down and tightened with a screwdriver. It's a bit of a fiddle as there's a propensity for the cold plate to want to skate about a bit at first, and although there are better mounting systems out there, there are definitely worse.
If you're setting up the Seidon on extract with the fan internal on push, which is how we do it, then the next job on your list is to use the provided short screws to attach the rad to the case from the outside. The fan is then attached to the rad by utilising longer pass through screws from the inside. As Cooler Master provide an additional set of these longer screws it's a relatively easy task to add another fan in push pull configuration. When we talked about the radiator earlier we mentioned the importance of checking the dimensions and clearance. the image below left shows the small amount of room between the end tank and the expansion card recess in our Cooler Master Storm Trooper case. Should your case not have sufficient room, all is not lost, it just means you'll have to mount the fan to the case using it as a spacer to enable the rad to be fitted. in this configuration it's still possible to have a intake or extract set up.
The flexibility of the tubing and the rotating 90 degree elbows as they join the cold plate assembly make the task of routing the tubing an easy one. At 30cm the tubing is long enough for most cases without being so long as to make things look messy (We're looking at you Swiftech).
As with all our testing we hook the fan and the pump up to a 12volt supply straight from the PSU. Both the pump and the fan can be attached to the motherboard or fan controller via fan headers but in the case of the pump this really isn't necessary as it runs pretty much silently even at the full 12 volts. The fan is PWM compatible so if you choose it can be controlled by your Motherboard. Both cables are 32cm long including the plug and are braided in black. Seen here inside our loyal Cooler Master "Test Trooper" we think you'll agree the Seidon makes for a tidy build.
All assembled then and time for some low light shots to show off the subtle blue LED built into the cold plate housing

I just do not get it. Why does everyone just use fan controllers and such when modern Motherboards have fan headers and heat sensors. Why can't people set a max CPU temp of say 60c and let the computer spin the fan up and down as the load changes? You could then alway have the lowest noise for a given temp. Seems like this should be an automated function.
- has enough fan headers for my needs in the right locations and/or
- provides enough power on its fan headers to power an array of fans,
- provides enough power for a D5 pump (I know they can be hooked up to the PSU directly and the Vario can be adjusted without a fan controller, but it's much more comfortable not having to use the little nob on the pump's back, and yes, I do change my pump's speed from time to time, albeit not often) and
- lets me define not only max temps but actual fan curves, because everything else is useless (to me, at least).
These are unlikely to change in the future. It's not really reasonable to build a M/B with 10 to 12 fan headers (which you can easily use with two radiators on push/pull or something comparable) or fan headers that can provide ~30 W of power for a pump (market is too small).
The fan curve thing should be feasible though, I'll admit. I don't want my fans spinning up to 100% when a certain max temp is hit, I want them to ramp up by maybe 20% to see if that's enough and then throttle down again.
If you look at a real fan controller like the Aquaero, that's a very complex tool. You don't just integrate something like that into a M/B. It is certainly feasible, but it would cost accordingly.
Overall I'd say cost is probably the reason why the M/B that fits my needs regarding fan control is unlikely to arrive any time soon, and as long as that I'll stick to fan controllers. Besides, I like fan controllers, they have knobs and buttons and displays and stuff Quote
There should be no need for you to set a curve. The motherboard would not use what is called a bang bang system but would create it's own curve to keep the temperatures below the max you set. Once at max the temps would rise until the you hit the throttle temps.
As to the power draw you could have a controller that you plug the fan header into and a molex or SATA connector into.
When there is so much computing power sitting there it is just a bit nuts that we are fiddling with knobs and such to change our fan speeds.
To me, the value of a fan controller lies more in being able to monitor what my cooling system is doing (this includes flow meters, pump speeds etc.). The trouble with having that stuff controlled by the M/B is that the only way to get at that data while the computer is running would most likely be through some sort of monitoring software provided by the M/B manufacturer.
Most likely, this software would only run on Windows, and since I do not run Windows I would not have access to my cooling system's parameters anymore. Therefore, separating my cooling system from the rest of my hardware is actually quite valuable to me since I would not get proper support on my O/S anyway.
If interfaces for this were to be standardized and a proper API provided (such as with S.M.A.R.T. and temp sensors and such, which I can easily read out in Linux/FreeBSD et.al.), I could possibly get behind this, but I think that's not very likely since M/B manufacturers would probably like to distinguish themselves from their competitors and would devise their own, proprietary solutions. Quote
With the radiator being a low profile ordeal I don't know that you would see much of a performance increase really. I could be wrong on that one tho.
Also i have seen in some reviews they say there comes a distinct ticking sound from the pump. How loud is it really? I dont wanna buy the thing and then wake up in the night like when your bathroom foset leeks Quote

Being an owner of one of these, you have to have your head directly next tot he case to hear it, at which point yes it is very noticeable... but who puts their head directly next to their chassis on a regular basis?

Engineering Technology
Engineering Technology
An engineering technologist, is a specialist devoted to the implementation of existing technology within a field of engineering. Technologists often work with engineers in a wide variety of projects by applying basic engineering principles and technical skills. The work of technologists is usually focused on the portion of the technological spectrum closest to product improvement, manufacturing, construction, and engineering operational functions.
Internationally, the Sydney Accord is an agreement signed in 2001 acknowledging the academic equivalence of accredited engineering technology programs in the signatory nations. In some countries, only individuals who have graduated from an accredited curriculum in engineering technology and have a significant amount of work experience in their field may become registered technologists. A technologist's recognition may be in the form of a certification or a professional registration.

Balanced comfort
By llamalover
from Livermore, CO
Needed something better than the ubiquitous throw away, comfortable in the hand, good ink flow, and able to fit into that skinny pen loop on my notebooks. This pen fits all the criteria extremely well!

A pretrial conference is scheduled for the Rutland District Courthouse on Wednesday, March 13, in the case against the Lamoille South Supervisory Union regarding the Shaun Bryer sexual assault.
The case was filed on behalf of the victims of the sexual assault and alleges they "suffered severe and permanent psychological harm and emotional distress" as a result of the negligence of the Morristown Elementary School Principal at the time, Frederika French, and the two Lamoille South Superintendents during the time, Alice Angney and Tracy Wrend. It also alleges costs were incurred for their care and treatment, causing a financial loss and the suffering of severe emotional distress as a result of the negligence.
The Lamoille South Supervisory Union is being represented by Pietro Lynn.
No trial date has been set in the case that was filed in September of 2011, about two years after the former Morristown Elementary School teacher was arrested for assaulting two young boys and just a few weeks before Bryer was sentenced to 12 years in prison. The victims are represented by Kerry DeWolfe and Richard Rubin.
Court documents show subpoenas have been filed for documents, information or objects from Lamoille County State's Attorney Joel Page, as well as from "BCF/Family Services Morrisvillle," which based on other court documents appears to be the Department for Children and Families (DCF).
The case against the school alleges the supervisory union did not report their concerns to the family of the victims.

Picture Ann - Cinema Screen Sadism. Self-released EP.
It's always interesting when I receive a letter from J. N. I never know what to expect. This is one J. N.'s many bands (Sagntid, Forlis, Deus Otiosus among others). On this CDr we are treated with two tracks of something akin to soft, almost psychedelic Rock with an interesting ambient touch. Very monotonous and minimalistic, just a simple drum patterns with some heavy guitar work on the top, with the occasional ambient keyboard part here and there, supported by low, clean, almost whispered vocals. Interesting stuff, not for everybody. You can listen to this EP at Picture Ann's Myspace.

President Barack Obama has gotten a jump on Father's Day. He planned to spend much of Friday promoting the importance of being a good dad.
Among other things, he will host a town hall-style meeting on personal responsibility.
He will also invite male students from local schools to visit the White House.
But the President started his day in prayer at the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast sponsored by Esperanza.
He told the crowd that the millions of people, inside the U.S. illegally, should have the chance to become citizens after meeting certain requirements. He says the biblical command to "love they neighbor as thyself" is as relevant now as ever.
"At a time when there's no shortage of challenges to occupy our time, it's even more important to step back and to give thanks and to seek guidance from each other, but most importantly from god," Obama said.
The President offered thanks for the freedom of religion, and told the crowd they must remember America is a nation of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus and non-believers.

With the shakeups at the All England Club coming faster than you can shake a stick at, Wimbledon's finally in focus. The first week was going to tell us what to expect, but now we can see the forest through the trees.
Of course, simply saying that we have things figured out at Wimbledon likely means that something insane will happen to throw off the balance of power in tennis. For instance, who could have predicted Serena Williams losing in the third round to Alize Cornet after cruising in the first two games?
Day 9 at the All England Club brings more of the stars and hopefully compelling matches, at least on the men's side because Roger Federer looks like the best player on the planet again after cruising to a three-set win over Tommy Robredo in the fourth round on Monday.

Storylines to Watch
Novak Djokovic Peaking at the Right Time
Djokovic hasn't reached the point where we should start talking about a slump, but he hasn't won a Grand Slam event since the 2013 Australian Open. He's been in contention at all the big events since, playing at least into the quarterfinals, including this Wimbledon.
However, Djoker started sluggish at the All England Club with a four-set win over Radek Stepanek in the second round. That could have been the start of a slide for the No. 1 seed, but he has instead been rolling with back-to-back three-set wins against Gilles Simon and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Marin Cilic will oppose Djokovic in the quarterfinals. These two met once earlier this year at the BNP Paribas Open with Djoker winning in three sets.
Djokvoic is the top seed at this event, but no one would suggest he's been the best player so far with Roger Federer finding his form in grand fashion on grass. This matchup with Cilic certainly favors the 2011 Wimbledon champion. Now he has to take care of business.
Who Is The Ladies' Favorite With Maria Sharapova Out?
When Serena lost in the third round, all eyes immediately turned to Maria Sharapova. The 2014 French Open champion was playing as well as she ever had through four rounds, albeit against inferior competition, and looked poised to capture a second Wimbledon title.
Instead, No. 9 seed Angelique Kerber threw a monkey wrench into that plan with an impressive three-set win against Sharapova in the quarterfinals on Tuesday. It's possible we overrated the 27-year-old in this event, as Sports Illustrated's Tennis Twitter account pointed out:
Maria Sharapova has not beaten a top 10 player at Wimbledon since 2006, and has done so just twice since winning in 2004.— SI Tennis (@SI_Tennis) July 1, 2014
If you are looking for a new favorite, the obvious candidate is Kerber. She took out Sharapova in the fourth round and has had her best success in Grand Slams at Wimbledon, reaching the semifinals in 2012.
It's also hard to ignore what No. 3 Simona Halep has been doing thus far, dropping just one set through five rounds. The 22-year-old has been building to a big moment this year with a quarterfinals appearance at the Australian Open and runner-up finish at the French Open and, after defeating Sabine Lisicki Wednesday, is on to the semifinals.
Is Andy Murray Flying Under The Radar?
Which top seed on the Gentlemen's side has been most impressive thus far?
Despite being Great Britain's top star at Wimbledon, Andy Murray doesn't seem to be getting the attention of Djokovic, Federer and Rafael Nadal because he doesn't have the story to go with it.
The No. 3 seed ended England's Wimbledon drought last year and doesn't have to deal with questions about age like Federer, grass failings like Nadal or talk of a "slump" like Djokovic. Yet when you look at the performances, Murray has been as good as anyone through four rounds. The 27-year-old hasn't dropped a set and defeated ranked opponents in the last two rounds.
Murray's competition will get better now with No. 11 Grigor Dimitrov waiting, but the 2013 Wimbledon champion isn't taking this moment for granted. He told Harvey Araton of The New York Times the Bulgarian is much more effective on the court now than ever before: "He's a more mature player now. I mean, watching him play, his strokes and stuff, technically he hasn't made many changes to his game. But he's playing higher percentage tennis, making better decisions. That adds up to winning many more matches."
We can spend hours talking about what the other players in the Top Five are doing, but we should give Murray the credit he deserves. Of course, winning cures all, so if he takes care of business then the accolades will come.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg called here Tuesday for the inclusion of immigration reform in the presidential debate as one of the most important subjects affecting economic growth in the United States.
In the first of two business forums in Chicago and Boston, Bloomberg defended the role of immigrants as essential.
"(T)here is no way to help the economy as quickly and as cost-free as opening the borders to create jobs and create business," the billionaire mayor told a meeting of the Economic Club of Chicago.
Bloomberg said that immigration reform is probably the most important subject pending in the United States, but neither Democratic incumbent Barack Obama nor Republican hopeful Mitt Romney has presented any plan to resolve it.
"This country cannot retain its global leadership without an immigration policy. The competition for immigrant talent with countries such as Singapore and Germany is too fierce, and the consequences of losing the battle are too great," the New York mayor said.
Joining Bloomberg at the breakfast in Chicago was former White House chief of staff William Daley, who said the shortcomings of current U.S. immigration law "hurt our economy, jeopardize job creation and arm our competitors with the world's best workers."
The mayor mentioned a study by the Partnership for a New American Economy, an organization led by Bloomberg and media magnate Rupert Murdoch, showing that immigrants created one out of every four new businesses last year.
In companies that work in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics, a foreign-born worker with a U.S. graduate degree creates an average of 2.62 jobs in the United States.
The report also said that historically more than 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies have been founded by an immigrant or the son or daughter of one.
Bloomberg said he chose Chicago and Boston for Tuesday's forums because they are the cities where Obama and Romney have their respective campaign headquarters, and he urged voters to demand that the candidates treat the immigration issue "with the seriousness it deserves."
He called it "unforgivable" that Democrats and Republicans refuse to support reform and suggested a four-point platform to begin the discussion.
First would be the granting of Green Cards to foreign students pursuing graduate degrees in science, math and technology.
Second, the percentage of Green Cards awarded on the basis of economic necessity should be increased from the current 7 percent.
Third would be the issuing of a visa specifically for businessmen.
And finally, the creation of a program for temporary workers in agriculture and seasonal industries.
Later the mayor will meet in Boston with News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch for a roundtable on the same subject.
Murdoch said before the meeting that he is in favor of getting beyond "politics and antiquated notions about immigration if we are serious about attracting and retaining the best talent in America."
"America is a great nation built on the hard work and ingenuity of immigrants, and our economic prosperity will depend upon our ability to unleash innovation and compete in the global marketplace," the Australian-born mogul said. EFE

Nelson wins German Grand Prix FILA Cadet gold, Leathers is fifth in Senior divisionPhoto of Maya Nelson of the USA receiving her German Grand Prix gold medal at 56 kg in the FILA Cadet division by Tadaaki Hatta.
DORMAGEN, Germany – The United States entered women's team on both the Senior and FILA Cadet divisions at the respected German Grand Prix this weekend.
Team USA came home with one medal, a gold medal in the FILA Cadet division, by Maya Nelson (Denver, Colo.) in the 56 kg division.
Nelson won five straight matches on the way to the title, including a victory over Tatiana Novik of Russia in the championship finals.
Also wrestling in a medal match on the FILA Cadet level was two-time FILA Cadet World Team member Sariyah Jones (Modesto, Calif.), who finished fourth at 49 kg. Jones lost her first match, then rallied with three straight wins to qualify for the bronze-medal match, where she was beaten by Serena Bolke of Germany.
The U.S. entered three athletes in the Senior division, which featured a very strong international field.
The top U.S. finish was fifth place at 55 kg by high school star Becka Leathers (Choctaw, Okla). Leathers finished 1-2 in her weight class, losing in a bronze-medal match to Zalina Siadkova of Belarus.

As the holiday season draws to a close and we celebrate the New Year, another season begins: the season of weight loss commercials and health club promotions.
From Sensa to Alli, and Jenny Craig to Nutrisystem, we get bombarded with ads trumpeting it's "new year, new you" and "get skinny in 2013." With the staggering reality that most Americans are overweight, it should come as no surprise that the most common New Year's resolution for Americans is to lose weight.
However, studies show that 60% of new gym memberships never get used, and 20% of people give up on their resolutions after only a month. So what can we do to help ourselves stay on track? How can we resolve to keep our resolutions?
1. Believe In Yourself
This one is a biggie for me. If you start out on your mission expecting to fail, you will. Give yourself some credit and tell yourself, "I can do this. I will do this." I believe in you if you can believe in you!
2. Create a Routine
You're more likely to be successful if you plan ahead and set specific goals for yourself. At the start of every week, look at your schedule and carve out 25 minutes a day, five days a week, and dedicate that time to a resistance routine. That way, you're not thrown off of your plan by anything (work, family, traffic) life throws at you. Planning ahead goes for your diet, too. Pick a shopping day(s) each week and set an alarm on your phone to stay consistent with meal and snack times.
3. Enlist the Help of Friends and Technology
Friends are a great motivator! They can encourage you to stick to your plan and can offer support and even some healthy competition. Research even shows that weight loss is contagious! If your friends are losing weight, you're far more likely to do the same.
In this day and age, your best friend may be technology. There are tons of awesome apps, tech tools and exergames that can help you stick to your goals, motivate you and track your progress.
4. Do Away with Obstacles and Excuses
The less convenient it is to exercise and eat right, the less likely you are to be successful. If you join a gym 30 minutes from your home, let's be realistic – you're probably not going to go. Don't let that be an excuse; keep moving from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep! Walk around the block a couple of times when you wake up, during lunch, coffee breaks and after dinner. If you don't have healthy food options stocked in your kitchen, then it's easier to just say it's more convenient to order a pizza. Instead, plan ahead and make sure you have healthful ingredients around. As far as cooking – all you need is five minutes. Check out my books like The 5 Factor Diet for a ton of five-minute recipes. If you're really time-crunched, try making a healthy smoothie with fresh ingredients. It only takes a minute to throw some ingredients in to a blender.
5. Focus on the Process
This is my number one tip for my clients – celebs and stay-at-home-moms alike. Ever since we were kids we've been hard-wired to be goal-oriented. While it's great to have end goals, they can actually hurt our progress if they feel too out of reach or if we judge our success on the outcome of one goal. If you focus on the processes, methods and techniques you use working toward the goal, studies show you'll be more successful. Celebrate how hard you're working and how dedicated you're being, rather than how close you've come to an end goal. This technique is a great self-motivator.
