Bio Oil is a specialist skincare product that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone.
Its advanced formulation, which contains the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil, also makes it highly effective for numerous other skin concerns, including aging skin and dehydrated skin.
Bio Oil is formualted with the following all-natural ingredients: Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Calendula Oil, Lavender Oil, Rosemary Oil and Chamomile Oil.
Bio Oil is a non-comedogenic (acnegenic), hypo-allergenic product that is suitable for use by individuals with sensitive skin.
Improving the Appearance of Scars
Bio-Oil helps improve the appearance of all scar types. It is also highly effective in helping to maintain the elasticity of scar tissue on joints and other high-mobility areas.
Bio-Oil should be massaged in a circular motion into the scar and surrounding skin, twice daily, for a minimum of 3 months. Younger scars have a greater chance of improvement within a shorter time period, however, older scars will also benefit from the regular use of Bio-Oil. On new scars, Bio-Oil should be applied only once the wound has healed, and should never be used on broken skin.
What is a scar and how is it formed?
Scars are an integral part of the healing process and result from an imbalance in the production of collagen at the wound site. Scars go through numerous changes as they mature, but they are permanent in nature. Bio-Oil is specifically formulated to help improve the appearance of scars, but will never remove them entirely.
Improving the Appearance of Uneven Skin Tone
Bio-Oil helps to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone caused by hormonal fluctuations, skin-lighteners or excessive sun exposure. Visible as dark patches on the face or body, uneven skin tone often becomes most apparent during pregnancy, menopause or after exposure to high volumes of UV light.
Improving the Appearance of Stretch Marks
Bio-Oil is highly effective in helping to improve the appearance of existing stretch marks. Bio-Oil helps to increase the elasticity of the skin, thereby the possibility of new stretch marks forming is reduced.
Aging Skin
Sagging and wrinkled skin commonly associated with aging is largely caused by the weakening of the collagen and elastin support system in the dermis. Bio-Oil contains numerous ingredients that help to plasticize the skin, making it softer, smoother and more supple, thereby reducing the appearance of wrinkled and sagging skin. Bio-Oil also moisturizes, which improves the texture, tone and appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Dehydrated skin
Bio Oil helps replenish the skin's natural oils that have been stripped away by factors such as:

About the Author: William B. McAllister serves as Director of the Special Projects Division in the Office of the Historian.
The WikiLeaks controversy highlights a whole set of important questions about how the United States, or any government, conducts its affairs in the international arena. Similarly, the ongoing challenges of the day attest to the sweep of issues that must be negotiated among states. What, exactly, do diplomats do? How, precisely, is diplomacy conducted? How are particularly thorny diplomatic issues negotiated? How much information should be kept secret, and how much should be shared? What is the goal of foreign policy? What does "national security" mean, and who defines it?
All these questions have been present since modern diplomatic practices evolved several hundred years ago. Since the founding of the United States in the late 18th century, Americans have debated -- sometimes hotly -- their role in the world.
As part of these discussions, the U.S. government has a longstanding practice of making important foreign policy documents available to the public. This tradition dates back to the 1790s, when, at Congressional request, the executive branch released documents pertinent to important foreign policy issues. For decades this practice of disclosing records about specific events requested by Congress continued sporadically.
The Civil War marked a key turning point in this tradition of public disclosure, because the Department of State began disseminating foreign policy records on a regular basis. Documents have been published continuously since 1861, selected for their importance, annotated for accuracy, and bound into book-length volumes. Now called the Foreign Relations of the United States (or FRUS), this series celebrates its 150th year of publication in 2011. They are not stories written by historians who have digested the material and presented it in narrative form. Rather, after a thoroughgoing process that combines scholarly principles of documentary editing and responsible procedures for declassification review, the documents are allowed to speak for themselves, giving the reader the opportunity to experience the "you were there" feeling that comes from encountering the original material yourself.
The nineteenth-century volumes were published within a year or two. People living at that time could read, soon after the events took place, how diplomats went about their business, the problems they experienced, and the important issues of the day.
As the United States rose to global prominence in the 20th century, the problems became more complex, the stakes higher, and the task of diplomats more demanding. The most recent volumes published, covering the 1970s, illustrate the dilemmas of a superpower sensing the apex of its influence, as the pace and scope of global interaction increased.
The need for confidentiality in diplomacy grew as the stakes became higher. More FRUS volumes were published over time to tell the full story, but it took longer to release documents because the volumes have undergone increasingly rigorous compilation and declassification procedures. A lot of thought and expertise goes into creating the modern FRUS series, and sometimes not a little controversy; the importance of transparency, openness, and timeliness must be balanced with the need to assure that national security interests are considered before releasing documents.
By reading FRUS, anyone can gain insight into how diplomacy actually happens. Sometimes the negotiations become intense, with messages flying about the world on an hourly basis, multiple meetings, hushed corridor conversations, and deals struck after much bargaining. Some problems are resolved, while others are not. In some cases, long-held secrets are revealed. At other times the documents confirm what has long been believed but not previously proven. Sometimes the record reveals great failures, embarrassing miscalculations, wrongheaded assessments, misplaced priorities, and poor leadership. At other times policymakers met challenges wisely, with prudent solutions to pressing problems. Mostly, however, one encounters the dilemmas facing ordinary people who must make immediate decisions with incomplete information, fearful of worst-case scenarios, and hopeful that they can craft a better world than they inherited. It is the stuff of mundane routine and high drama; taken altogether, it is a story of great consequence for the peoples of the world.
For the past 150 years, the United States government has made a commendable effort to inform its own citizens, and the rest of the world by extension, about the story of foreign policy. Throughout this sesquicentennial year for the Foreign Relations of the United States series, the Office of the Historian will highlight various parts of the story of FRUS. We invite you to look here for more postings as the year progresses. More importantly, we hope you take a look for yourself. Your journey into the sometimes mysterious, sometimes frustrating, but indisputably vital universe of the diplomats is just a click away at history.state.gov.

Anytime someone leaks important or secuirty data to the public especially, if it hasn't been screened by our US Military forces first, you have a compromise on your hands. Would you allow your own secuirty to be handled this lose? Our troops count. Protecting and safeguarding our National Secrets is vital to our own National Security of the United States that is the oath you took when accepting the jobs in leadership. When our Soldiers, Sailors or Marines are hit by the Taliban, and if that information is released prior to them going on a mission, you have a bigtime problem, and explaining to family memmbers. It might get to a point where people in our public may not want to Join the Armed forces to protect our Freedom, or Constitution. The US Government should do everything possible within the laws of this country to protect all servicemen and women who are willing to fight for our country. While some maybe having tea with fine china, others are in a fox hole trying to survive. Protect and Serve the people who are there for you serving. They are prepared to give their life for this country, what are you prepared to give?
Ashim K.C. in India writes:
Strategic leaks of sensitive matters can be indeed dangerous to security of nations but human intelligence and capacity to observe and interpret supported by modern gadgets have created conditions where liberal free societies have to learn to live with these. It is good that some nations are prepared to share diplomacy details after lapse of certain time. But such sharing has to be selective for understandable reasons.
One does not claim one has followed wikileaks very diligently but one's sense is that they are as selective as FRUS papers can possibly be. Nevertheless they can serve as good tools of post event wisdom well their worth only if they lead to future correction. This does not seem to happen. Every nation has it's perception of world situation and designs it's response to that conditioned by that perception. Sure much of it has to do with innate weaknesses of human nature.
M.S.B. in Pakistan writes:
American foreign Services increased global understanding. Today's world belongs to USA simply due its foreign missions.

|Study Participants
|Healthcare Professionals
|What is TrialNet?
|News and Events
|Get Screened!
Information for Study Participants
Pathway to Prevention Study
Status: Recruiting
Eligibility Criteria
To be screened, you must fulfill at least one of the two conditions below:
About this Study
The Natural History Study of the Development of Type 1 Diabetes will study people at increased risk for type 1 diabetes to learn more about how type 1 diabetes occurs.
TrialNet is screening close blood relatives of people with type 1 diabetes because relatives of people with type 1 diabetes have a 10 to 15 times greater risk for developing the disease than people with no family history.
The study is divided into two parts: Screening and Monitoring. During screening, you will be tested for diabetes-related autoantibodies in the blood. Autoantibodies are proteins that are made by the body's immune system. If these proteins are present, it could mean that cells in the pancreas which produce insulin are damaged. Certain kinds of autoantibodies can be found in the blood years before type 1 diabetes occurs.
If the screening blood tests show that you have autoantibodies, we will ask you to participate in the monitoring part of the study.
We will ask you to provide information about yourself and your family history of diabetes. We will take up to 1 tablespoon of blood at each visit to test for diabetes related autoantibodies. A member of the TrialNet research team will contact you if you have one or more autoantibodies present in the blood (you are positive). You will then be asked to return for a repeat blood test to confirm the presence of autoantibodies.
If we do not find autoantibodies in your blood (you are negative), you will receive results by letter. Testing negative for autoantibodies does not mean you will never get diabetes, but the chances are much lower than if you tested positive. It is still possible that you could develop autoantibodies in the future. For this reason, we will offer to test you each year until you turn 18. We may ask some people who are negative for antibodies to be in the monitoring part of the study so that we can compare their results with people who are positive.
Annual Monitoring for those with Autoantibodies at Screening
Individuals with one autoantibody will have an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) and HbA1c at the first monitoring visit to determine their monitoring plan. If these results confirm you are at a lower 5-year risk for diabetes, you will have Annual Monitoring.
Annual monitoring visits include testing for autoantibodies and HbA1c. If your HbA1c increases or you develop two or more autoantibodies you will be asked to come for Semi-Annual Monitoring so that you can be followed more closely for possible progression towards type 1 diabetes.
Semi-Annual Monitoring for those with Autoantibodies at Screening
Individuals in this group have a higher 5-year risk of diabetes. They will be asked to come in for Semi-Annual Monitoring. This includes individuals found to have two or more autoantibodies during Screening. It also includes individuals that have one autoantibody as well as other test results that indicate a higher 5-year risk for diabetes.
Semi-annual Monitoring visits include blood tests for autoantibodies, HbA1c, as well as an (OGTT).
Before you have the autoantibody test, you must give permission to have the test performed by signing an Informed Consent form. Parents must give permission for children under 18 years of age to be tested. Please read the Informed Consent form carefully. A TrialNet health professional will talk to you about the test and the Informed Consent form. Please discuss any questions or concerns with this TrialNet staff person.
If you choose to participate in the second or third phases of the study, we will ask you to sign a separate Informed Consent form for each phase.
If you participate in phase 1, you do not have to participate in any other phase of the study. For more information on the 3 phases of this study, please refer to the revised study fact sheet
To see if you might be eligible for this study and for a referral to a TrialNet site:
If you call us, you will receive:
If you wish to be tested for diabetes risk, but do not live near a TrialNet site, we will refer you to a TrialNet staff person at a Clinical Center who will explain the screening process and provide you with a test kit to have your blood test drawn by your own doctor or local laboratory.
Information will be kept confidential.

OCZ Technology Group this week unveiled its new family of solid-state drives (SSDs) that are aimed at premium-class desktop or laptop systems. The novelties offer larger DRAM cache as well as better performance and will overshadow the company's Vertex-series SSDs launched about half year ago.
"OCZ's SSD lineup offers drives for the complete spectrum of applications, and the new Summit SSD's cater to both enthusiast level consumer and enterprise customers. Making use of premium flash and a large 128MB cache, the Summit SSD delivers a combination of high speed, excellent compatibility, and superior reliability," said Alex Mei, chief marketing officer of the OCZ Technology Group.
The new OCZ Summit family of solid state drives is based on multi-level cell flash memory, sports 128MB cache buffer and includes models with 60GB, 120GB and 250GB capacities. OCZ states read speeds of up to 220MB/s and write speeds of up to 200MB/s for its new SSDs (with the exception of 60GB version that boasts with only up to 125MB/s write speed).
The highest-end OCZ Summit 256GB drive will compete against recently released Corsair Memory's P256 SSD that offers exactly the same specifications and performance numbers, which is probably because both solution providers acquire some of their solid-state drives from Samsung Electronics.
In addition to Summit, which is aimed at premium desktops or laptops, OCZ offers a rather broad range of SSDs aimed at different applications, including Apex-series for relatively affordable systems, Vertex family designed for performance PCs, Vertex EX targeting workstations and Z-Drive developed specifically for no-compromise enthusiast personal computers.

Victory! Utah Animal Shelter Abandons Pound Seizure
On March 27, Utah's governor signed a bill to amend an archaic state law so that government-run animal shelters will no longer be forced upon request to sell homeless dogs and cats to laboratories for use in cruel and deadly experiments. Yesterday, the director of Davis County Animal Services—the shelter that was supplying the University of Utah (the U) with most of the dogs and cats it was using in experiments—announced that the shelter will no longer participate in pound seizure, noting, "Now that we have the option, it's not law, so we decided against it."

Shame on them….the employees of these concentration camps. When asked where do you work I wonder how they answer that question especially to their children.
I was raised in Utah, and this just made me sick. We will never progress, until this type of cruelty towards animals stop…..
This is horrifying! Animals are far more intelligent than people have been led to believe. The only reason we have been taught otherwise is so we wouldn't feel guilty about torturing them for ghastly horrific experimentation! Who does the human race think it is for giving itself the authority to torture living things this way? There is no excuse for this at all! I don't mind experiments where they attempt to cure already sick" animals but unnecessary torture by first harming animals for the purpose of finding cures is totally archaic backward violent and ultra cruel! The human race is exceptionally sick in this regard and this is simply wrong wrong wrong! To those who don't think so imagine your babies being sacrificed to aliens who used them in the same ways to save their own race because they considered us inferior. It's no different than what humans are doing to animals!
For the love of God please stop this atrocities. Just look in a dog's eyes and see the humanity these savages lack.
I am tottally horrorified by what lots of people can do to animals. Animals are angels in Earth!!!! How many people can't see and feel it?!?!?! Surely animals are much better than human being otherwise It wouldn't be necessary to write these lines There is NO excuse to sacrify animals!!!!! I beg you!!!!!! Stop cruelty to animals!!!!!!!!!
In the July 4 2010 Times Picayune New Orleans Travel Section. There was a big article to visit ROCKING' R RANCH ANTIMONY UTAH. You can watch animals being electric shockedbranded and you can try castrating.They state a lot of people like that.Creston Black Heads Cattle operation. Please investigate it sounds SICK.
How the hell can we say that the US is a developed coountry when such acts of cruetly take place with the government doing nothing??? when is everyone going to realise how damn inhumane these experiments are????????????????? I'm just glad that some people actually realise how dastardly these crimes are.
I wish the same things on "THEIR" famlies.
A victory for some but probably not all. I am bawling my eyes out as I imagine the fate for some. I agree with you Kristina Miller who the are the evil insane people who can participate in any way shape or form in the torture and suffering of loving beautiful animals?????????!!!!! I JUST DON'T GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is wrong with people that they cannot wrap their brains around the fact that all the animals of the earth are our brothers and sisters of the planet???????? We are ALL Earthlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one is ABOVE any other life form!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When will the world ever wake up and get on the same page???
What kind of person does it take to work in a shelter and knowingly watch the animals be taken away to such a brutal life sentence. But what about the University? Who's doing anything about banning them from inflicting such suffering and pain to these animals. Our schools are encouraging this type of thinking and that it is ok because they are JUST animals. It makes my heart wrench when I think of someone could feel nothing and participate in such an act. We have to get the word out to the schools JUST as hard as we are coming down on the government and the shelters. I can't imagine the type of person it takes to be a part of any of this in the school in the shelter and even in government offices where they are ALLequally responsible.
I know it seems like a slight victory but try to recognize that despite having a choice the decision was still made to stop the practice at the DCAS. I think that should give us some hope that there are good people out there who are willing to do the right thing even if it means taking an economic hit.
I am happy that there has been a result but what is the point of animals going into shelters to be "rehomed" if they are allowed to be taken to laboratories when they are full!This is despicable and hypocritical.
Its a start.
The poor animals have just about lost everything it seems so cruel to be sold to labs for experiments have they not suffered enough
Happy Easter to the People of beautiful Utah and all the Mormons. Please you have wonderful and beautiful animals…do not sell them for cruelty purposes to laboratories that are going to becrel to them. Animals want a good home is their right to be protected from bad people. God the maker of all things would really love you for this little favor. Anne
Sandy you are right but it is a victory none the less. A significant step towards our goal. And as long as people are becoming aware these evil practices will move to their end.
I am really happy for all these animals. They should not be going through all this cruelty in the first place. However I am really happy that this happened but we should all do more about this situation. Animals deserve to live.
i want all animals to saved from this kind of fate i hate to see these poor animals like that. i wish i could adopt all of them and save them.
Yes a victory but long overdue. But read the print people. They said it was now a choice. That means that pounds can and will still be giving cats and dogs to labs because they run out of space.The governor dropped the ball and should of totally banned the practice. So once again the animals will not have a voice.

Margaret McDonald routinely travels her Oklahoma City neighborhood in her power chair.
It can get going up to 4.2 miles an hour.
Not super fast, but on Sunday, it was enough to help police track down some burglars.
"I seen them coming out of the window and I thought, that's strange if they're carrying a big TV out the window," McDonald said. "I thought they lived there at first."
But McDonald quickly realized she'd interrupted a burglary in progress.
She said when the five suspects spotted her, they scattered and ran.
"I hollered, 'Stop thieves!' Like that," she said. "And that one went running down the road, so I followed him."

Rated 5 out of 5�by Arie It looks great but doesn't fit on my cart Unfortunately I have to return it wish I would have known the left and right hands are connected so it's not fitting right on my cart January 31, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by ajlacombe Warm If you have ever played golf in colder weather you probably have cart mitts. The problem with cart mitts is where to store them when you are not wearing them and getting them on and off on your glove hand. The clickgear mitts are easily attached to the cart with velcro so they are in a place that you do not have to worry about dropping or losing them. The opening does not have elastic so you can get a gloved hand in there easily. The finger portions are tilted downward so you can put a heat pack inside and it will stay put, you can even put a ball or two in there to keep them warm. There is a velcro pocket on the outside for a heat pack, but it has to heat through the glove insulation - I prefer to have to pack just sit in the mitts. Nice product that solves the cold hand issues you normally have while playing in the cold. February 15, 2015

Rated 4 out of 5�by Golf Cart Gloves Winter Golf Aid The Clipgear Mitts make playing golf in cold weather much easier.

Welcome back to 'Made From Scratch' Monday! Oh, how I have missed everyone and their wonderful recipes! In order to prevent future interruptions of this event, it will now be held as a monthly event beginning the first Sunday of each month and end the last day of the month. I hope that everyone will continue to add to the linky each week as we go through the month.
Finding foods that cover gluten and allergy free is difficult. More and more caregivers are opting to make meals from scratch to avoid the worry and concern of reaction. If you are a regular visitor, then you know how I enjoy experimenting with recipes…a little bit of this and a dash of that.

If your dog becomes overweight, incorporating fitness into its daily regimen means throwing the ball more often, taking it for longer walks or finding other activities outdoors. But when a cat needs to shed pounds, owners are often at a loss as to how to amp up an indoor feline's exercise. According to Vetstreet.com, the answer is through play.
The news outlet reports that there are a variety of games you can play with your cat to get its heart pumping and keep it healthy. Waving around a feather toy attached to a wand can stir your cat's natural instinct to hunt birds - it will run and leap to get its "prey."
You can also bring out the predator in your feline friend by playing pouncing games on the floor. Whether you use a blanket or a small toy, waving it around will convince your cat that it is a creature that needs to be caught.
Another game to play involves using a small furry cat toy that may look like a mouse or other small rodent. Playing with these types of toys brings out the cat's natural instinct to pull the "prey" onto her belly while lying on her back, kicking with her legs.
According to VCA Animal Hospitals, more than 50 percent of dogs and cats in North America are overweight or obese, a condition that frequently leads to serious complications such as feline diabetes mellitus, cancer and heart disease.

"As one of the top oral biology departments in the country, students interact with some of the best in fundamental oral science."
"As one of the top oral biology departments in the country, students interact with some of the best in fundamental oral science."
Michael Russell
Professor, Oral Biology
Relationships of Oral Pathogens to Systemic Diseases
Several faculty members of the Department of Oral Biology are investigating aspects of potentially important connections between poor oral health and systemic diseases.
One such study is the response of the periodontium to dental plaque by the process of inflammation. Plaque is composed of numerous bacteria, comprising over 400 species, which tenaciously adhere to the tooth surface. A consequence of this inflammatory process is ulceration of the gingival sulcular epithelium, which allows bacteria to enter the bloodstream.
Exposure to these bacteria over a long period of time (as is typical of people who do not receive regular dental care) may contribute to tissue injury, leading to systemic diseases such as myocardial infarction (heart attack), diabetes melitus (sugar), and low birth weight/prematurity.
Lung diseases such as hospital-acquired pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may also be associated with poor oral health, since the bacteria from the oral cavity can be aspirated into the lower airway.
Every project in a mentorship program has an emphasis on publishing—the "currency" of science—with a view toward high-impact journals
It has been determined that the human body contains more bacteria than cells of its own.
The bone loss in periodontal disease is due almost entirely to the exaggerated host immune response elicited to fight oral bacteria.
Oral biology research at UB has provided provocative evidence that oral diseases such as periodontal disease can contribute to the initiation or progression of such systemic diseases as myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes mellitus, and pneumonia.
Research Professor
I think as mentors at UB, our approach to scientific thought processes is our strength; we emphasize higher-order reasoning as an essential part of an approach to a problem.
The unique thing about our PhD program is that, in most cases, the graduate students are also clinical residents, so they get a unique exposure to both worlds.
Every student has a primary mentor and a committee that is composed of at least three other members of the faculty who guide the students throughout the five or six years of study that it takes.
Professor and Chair
There's quite a diverse group of studies that we're working on. For example, we are now investigating the role of oral health in systemic disease, particularly the effects of oral health on hospital-acquired pneumonia.

my father had colon cancer a year or two back. when I found out, i cried like a baby (not in front of anyone, mind you, but all alone, where no one could see...you know, the manly kind of crying) and i got my thoughts together, and i called him up and told him what a great dad he was. i told him how important he was to me...and my kids. i told him that on the day i met who was eventually going to be my wife...that when asked what i wanted to do with my life, i told her i wanted to be like my dad. that's as far as i got before he said what he had was no big deal. and he was going to go thru chemo like a good little soldier and do everything the doctors told him to do. he was never sad about it. in fact, he often had to cheer up those around him. but he beat it. and he not only did it with a smile on his face, he did it with enthusiasm. when it was over i told him that he made cancer his bitch. i'm a lot like my dad. and i'd love to think I would handle it like he did. but I'm not in a position to guarantee that i would. but i will offer this...attitude is everything. positive feelings can carry you a long way. let's hope we can all face adversity with the same strength.
hypothetical...you find out you are sick. real sick. in fact, dr says you have 6 months to live...what do you do? by my count, you have two choices...wallow in pity, and mourn your last remaining days...or live your life with color and joy, appreciating every last smell, sound, voice and face you see. i know i would like to think i would do the latter...but maybe we just don't know how we would react til we are in that situation.
so i ask you...what kind of person are you?

I think your message is getting lost behind the tie-in to the 3-4. Because I'm with Pup, it doesn't matter if the Browns run a 4-3, a 3-4 or aligns itself as a fucking soccer team, the defense needed a pass rusher, 2 LB's, a CB and S (and maybe a goal keeper). Those needs haven't changed. Switching to the 3-4 a big deal? Sure, but so was staying in the 4-3.
Except that a 3-4 pass rusher is not the same as a 4-3 pass rusher, and the LBs are not the same either. The only "no big deal" is at the CB and S positions.
Not sure I like the idea of using Phat Phil as the NT for 50 snaps a game. Across the entire front 7 techniques are different, reads are different, assignments are different.....It's not the end of the world, just another step backwards.
I can already set the O/U on wins at 6 and feel pretty comfortable.
So before you needed a DE (pass rusher) and 2 LB's, and now you need an OLB (pass rusher) and two other LB's.
The players needed to fill those voids aren't the same, but you have the same amount of needs at the same positions.
True. But then don't forget that the other guys are essentially playing out of position until they get the hang of things. As I wrote above - not the end of the world but yet another step back.
And J. Sheard at SS? UFO defense all over again.

5 Best Franchise Opportunities for 2013
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Interested in running a franchise? Consider starting a hair salon, becoming a business coach or opening a gym if you're looking to get the best bang for your buck.
Franchisees are always looking for the next "big thing." Yet, following consumer trends is one of the best ways to keep tabs on the services and products that could do well as business investments.
"Particularly because of this economic downturn ... more people are looking to take control of their own destiny," says Brian Miller, president of The Entrepreneur's Source . "Industry sectors that are growing is certainly something that franchise candidates are interested in" for long-term success.
Miller's firm helps franchise candidates understand potential opportunities within specific industries. The company works with more than 200 franchise brands, but it represents the candidates, not the franchisors.
>>>7 Biggest Small-Business Trends in 2013
>>>5 Best Businesses to Get In For 2012
While turmoil in Washington and a sluggish economy mean franchise establishment will be moderate this year, there are a few sectors that stand out, according to the International Franchise Association's 2013 business outlook.
Experts say businesses driven by catering to specific demographics (such as baby boomers), health and wellness, personal services (hair care or auto servicing), and service-based businesses will continue to thrive.
Here are five strong franchise industries for 2013.
1. Hair Care
Hair care is just one industry in the booming personal services sector. The number of franchise establishments in personal services is expected to grow by 1.5% this year, according to the IFA's 2013 forecast, making it the fifth fastest-growing sector (tied with lodging) among the 10 that the association tracks.
Hair salons are a particularly good bet because while consumers might decide to skip the lavish vacations or fancy meals, they always need a haircut.
"Even in our do-it-yourself culture
"People will always need their hair cut and, especially in a shaky economy, they're looking for a quality, convenient cut at an affordable price," she says. Consumers are also busy. They want to be able to get in and out of a salon with little wait times. Great Clips' online check-in service alleviates that issue, she says.
On the business side, the franchises are profitable and conducive to multi-unit ownership.
"Most of the time it does not require a hands-on manager and the franchisee can successfully operate multiple locations. The salons are managed by a licensed cosmetologist and the franchisee focuses on working with the manager and providing the marketing and business side. They make a great team," Olsen says.
"Once franchisees get comfortable owning one salon, they typically buy a few more. After the initial learning curve, adding more locations can be a great way to increase overall profitability," she says.

A Cinnamon Coconut Ice Cream with Orange Ginger Crunch and Persimmon Jelly By GreenChef Heather Pace
Posted By Heather Pace On November 17, 2011 @ 1:10 am In Full Recipe List,Recipes / Desserts,Recipes / Raw | 6 Comments
Photographer Heather Pace
Today I've got a tasty ice cream dessert recipe to share, which has the added benefit of the medicial chaga mushroom (although it's optional). I did a post on chaga last year and included a Chaga Maple Frosty recipe in addition to mentioning some of it's benefits. I'm fortunate to live in an area where chaga grows in abundance all year around.
I made this ice cream last week, since a friend was over for dinner and I wanted to do a little something special. What to do with a few young coconuts, some ripe mushy persimmons, fresh ginger, and a bunch of soaked irish moss?! Here's what I came up with. It would also be great with a chocolate sauce, or orange segments in place in place of the persimmon jelly.
For the Cinnamon Ice Cream
2 1/2 cups coconut water
1 1/2 cups young coconut pulp
1/4 cup chaga irish moss gel*
3-4 tablespoons coconut nectar or yacon syrup
8 drops stevia
1 1/2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon mesquite
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
For the Orange Ginger Crunch
1/2 cup coconut shreds
3 tablespoons chopped macadamia nuts
3 drops orange essential oil
1 teaspoon fresh minced ginger
1 teaspoon orange zest
2 drops stevia
2 teaspoons coconut nectar
Pinch of himalayan salt
1 1/2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Instructions for the Cinnamon Ice Cream:
1. Blend all but the coconut oil until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the oil and blend to incorporate.
3. Chill the mixture in the fridge, about 4-6 hours, or up to over night.

CUBRID 8.4.3 with DB Sharding and API level Load Balancing is here
posted 5 years ago in News category by Esen Sagynov
For those who have been using CUBRID 8.4.1 for production but wanted to get the hands on the latest features available in CUBRID 9.0 such as native support for Database Sharding, there is great news! We are announcing the immediate availability of CUBRID 8.4.3, the release fully compatible with 8.4.1 which introduces Database Sharding and API level Load Balancing features among others to 8.4.x family! You can download CUBRID 8.4.3 from the Downloads page.
Further I will explain in details all about the new features introduced in CUBRID 8.4.3.
Database Sharding
CUBRID SHARD, which was first announced in CUBRID 9.0, is now available in CUBRID 8.4.3. CUBRID SHARD provides environmental convenience when processing a large volume of data by facilitating the access to horizontally partitioned databases across multiple servers. The CUBRID SHARD feature provides a single view that shows databases, which are spread across multiple nodes, as a single database, and transparency that allows users to recognize them without accessing individual databases. CUBRID SHARD is a great feature, and we are happy to include it in CUBRID 8.4.3.
Another great feature of CUBRID SHARD is that it supports MySQL as a backend database alongside CUBRID. For more information about this, read our previous blog where you can find a Slideshare presentation with more details.
Driver Features
API level Load Balancing
In CUBRID 8.4.3 we have added a new feature to CCI and JDBC drivers which allows applications to connect to the main host or the hosts specified by
althosts parameter in the connection URL in a random order. In the following example of a connection URL, this functionality is activated by setting the value of
loadBalance parameter to
loadBalance is
true the driver will randomly choose a host among those specified in the connection URL except the one which was used to connect the last time, then the driver will try to connect to this randomly chosen host. If the chosen host is not available, the selection will continue until all the hosts are determined as unavailable. In such case, the driver will report an error.
Thus, CUBRID now provides two level Load Balancing:
- Server level when the CUBRID Broker balances the requests among multiple CUBRID Application Servers (CAS).
- API level when the driver randomly chooses a host to connect to, thus significantly offloading the main host server.
For more information refer to
cci_connect_with_url() API.
New API functions
In addition to the Load Balancing we have also added two more APIs to our CCI driver.
cci_close_query_result()closes the result set returned by cci_execute(), cci_execute_array(), or cci_execute_batch() functions, thus allows to decrease the memory consumption at a given time.
cci_escape_string()escapes all unsafe characters so that the string can be safely used within an SQL statement.
Extended SQL
In CUBRID 8.4.3 we have also added the
INET_ATON and
INET_NTOA SQL functions. These functions are available in CUBRID 9.0 as well. The
INET_ATON function returns a numeric value when an IPv4 address is entered, while the
INET_NTOA function returns an IPv4 address value when numbers are entered.
SELECT INET_ATON('192.168.0.10'); inet_aton('192.168.0.10') ============================ 3232235530 SELECT INET_NTOA(3232235530); inet_ntoa(3232235530) ====================== '192.168.0.10'
New Monitoring Functionality
Query execution status
CUBRID 8.4.3 now supports a new
-q option in
cubrid killtran command line utility which displays the execution time in seconds of those queries which are running at this moment of the time. This utility now shows information about:
- the transaction index
- the client process ID
- the client program name
- the total execution time of a query being executed in seconds
- the total execution time of the current transaction in seconds
- the list of transactions which hold the lock when the current transaction is in lock waiting
- the query statement being executed (up to 30 characters)
Logging slow queries
In CUBRID 8.4.3 we added a new system parameter
sql_trace_slow_msec which allows to log query statements, which have exceeded the specified execution time, together with their query execution plan. When the value of
sql_trace_slow_msec parameter is yes, the SQL statement, its query execution plan, and the
cubrid statdump information are recorded in the server error log file and the broker application server (CAS) log file. When the
cubrid plandump is executed, the corresponding SQL statement and the query execution plan are displayed. However, the corresponding information is recorded in the server error log file only when the value of the
error_log_level parameter is NOTIFICATION.
Now using this system parameter you can find slow queries and tune them faster.
API level debugging logs
Related to the above slow queries logging feature, in CUBRID CCI driver we have added several new connection URL parameters which can be used to instruct the driver whether or not slow queries must be logged. We have previously blogged about a similar feature in 8.4.1 which allows to log generic debugging logs. Now you can separately logs slow queries.
We have added:
slowQueryThresholdMillisparameters for this purpose which write slow query log information
logTraceApiwrites the beginning and the end of the called CCI functions
logTraceNetworkwrites the network data transmission information of a CCI function to a file.
For example:
url ="cci:cubrid:localhost:33000:demodb:::?logSlowQueries=true&slowQueryThresholdMillis=1000&logTraceApi=true&logTraceNetwork=true"
New Configurations
In CUBRID 8.4.3 we have added the
check_peer_alive system parameter to set whether to check if the database server process (cub_server) and the client process that connected to the database server process have run normally or not.
The types of client processes include the broker application server (cub_cas) process, the replication log reflection server (copylogdb), the replication log copy process (applylogdb), and the CSQL interpreter (csql).
When a server process and a client process do not receive any response for a long time (e.g., 5 seconds or longer) after they have been connected while waiting for the data via the network, they check if the opponent operates normally or not depending on this configuration parameter. If they decide that the opponent does not operate normally, they force to disconnect the connection.
Built-in CUBRID Web Manager
This is one of the most important features we have added to CUBRID 8.4.3. CUBRID Web Manager (CWM) is the next generation SQL client with monitoring features that we announced two months ago. At the time CWM was not part of CUBRID but was distributed separately just like other CUBRID Tools.
However, today we are happy to announce that from now on CWM will be distributed together with CUBRID Engine. This means that once you start CUBRID Service with
cubrid service start command line utility, CWM will be started together and will be listening to secure (HTTPS) 8282 port (default but configurable). Just open your browser, navigate to https://localhost:8282 (or the remote host) and you can start managing and monitoring your CUBRID Server in real time with CUBRID Web Manager. This is awesome!
For more information about each of these new features, refer to CUBRID 8.4.3 Release Notes.
If you have questions, feel free to ask on our dedicated Q&A site, forum, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, #cubrid IRC channel, or contact us by email. We will be glad to answer you!

Every pilot I've known who's flown this unusual multiengine Experimental has fallen in love with it. AOPA Pilot Senior Editor Dave Hirschman has made a couple of ferry flights in them, and even when the temps require him to wear a flight suit, he can't say enough about the perspective one gets from the front seat of the AirCam. Here's a report he wrote up after ferrying one to Florida with Pilot Getaways co-founder John Kounis. and if you click this link you can watch a video of Hirschman flying the AirCam on another trek—this time from Florida to Minneapolis (credit lillo).—Jill W.

Tutorial: How to Apply Liquid Eyeliner
I've gotten quite a few requests to make this tutorial. It was a really easy one to make…all I had to do was apply some liquid eyeliner and try to talk while doing it!
I mentioned in the video, I've been wearing eyeliner since middle school. Growing up, I obsessed about my Asian eyes, trying to figure out ways to make them bigger and better. Fortunately, I got over that and have come to appreciate the beauty in my ethnic features. However, I still love to accentuate them with liquid liner. If I could pick one product that I couldn't live without, it would be eyeliner! It can do so much to emphasize your eyes.
My favorite product is one that you've seen in several of my videos…Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner in Blackest Black. Nothing beats this eyeliner. I've tried several brands, including MAC, and this is the best by far.
I really like the applicator…the felt tip lets me create a nice line where I can taper and thicken it easily. Morever, the product itself is the best. The liner always comes out very vibrant…you don't need to go over the line more than once to achieve a dark, vibrant color (I can't say the same about MAC). The product also never smudges or fades at all! On top of it all, you can't beat the price! Revlon always has sales at your local grocery store or CVS, and this is the best time to buy it. I also recommend Black Brown for a more subtle day look.
In the video, I show how I line my eyes with liquid eyeliner. Mind you, I have to make my line a bit thicker so that the liner doesn't disappear behind my eyelid skin. Monolids/Semi-Monolids out there know what I mean! I give a few tricks including bracing your hand on your face for leverage. Applying liquid eyeliner does take a bit of practice. But once you got it down, it comes so natural. Hopefully I've helped a few of you with this video.
Till next time, Ciao Bellas!

beautiful work, as always!!
i've never tried an eyeliner with the felt tip. do you like it better than the regular brush?
p.s. the MUFE high definition powder is really neat. i've been using it everyday, and i really like how it evens out my face. however, if i put too much, i look like a corpse.

Topic: Help with some nasty code
Like the title says, prepare yourself for some gross code. What I'm trying to do is create a message that can be sent to multiple users of the system, but I am having some problems.
How it should work:
The user clicks a link to send a message and is presented with a form that allows him to enter the title and body of the message. Along with that are three list boxes: groups, system users, and the list of users to send the message to. The idea is that the user can select multiple users and add them to the list that will receive the message and also remove them from the list.
The problem:
Everything works almost correctly except for one piece. Because I use multiple forms, the title and body of the message are only set if the 'send message' button is clicked. Therefore, if the user clicks the button to move users between lists, the title and body are lost. Other than this, I'm sure there is a more elegant way to accomplish everything and I'm just not seeing it.
I'm not sure if multiple form_for tags are appropriate, but since each contains model information, I thought this was the way to go.
The code:
The models are set up as HABTM between messages and users.
def add
@groups = @current_user.groups
@new_message = session[:message] || Message.new
@message_group = @new_message.users
@users = User.find(:all, :order => 'last_name DESC') - @message_group
if request.post?
if params["add"]
@new_message.title = params[:new_message][:title]
@new_message.message = params[:new_message][:message]
@new_message.sent_by = @current_user.id
if @new_message.save
redirect_to(:controller => 'login', :action => 'index')
if params["add_users"] and not params[:user][:id].nil?
@new_message.users << User.find(params[:user][:id])
elsif params["remove_users"] and not params[:message_user][:id].nil?
elsif params["add_group"]
@group = Group.find(params[:group][:id])
@new_message.users << unique(@new_message.users, User.find(@group.users))
session[:message] = @new_message
redirect_to(:controller => 'message', :action => 'add')
<%= error_messages_for 'message' %>

Create New Message

<% form_for :message, :url => { :action => "add" } do |f| %>
Title:
<%= f.text_field :title, :size => 40 %>
Message:
<%= f.text_area :message, :rows => 10 %>
<%= submit_tag "Send Message", :name => "add", :class => "submit" %>
<% end %>

<% form_for :group, :url => { :action => "add" } do |g| %>
<%= g.collection_select(:id, @groups, :id, :name, {}) %>
<%= submit_tag "Add Group", :name => "add_group", :class => "submit" %>
<% end %>

<% form_for :user, :url => { :action => "add" } do |u| %>
<%= u.collection_select(:id, @users, :id, :username, {}, :class => "user-list", :size => 10, :multiple => true) %>

<%= submit_tag ">>", :name => "add_users", :class => "submit" %>
<% end %>
<% form_for :message_user, :url => { :action => "add" } do |m| %>

<%= submit_tag "<<", :name => "remove_users", :class => "submit" %>

Send To:

<%= m.collection_select(:id, @message_group, :id, :username, {}, :class => "user-list", :size => 10, :multiple => true) %>
<% end %>
Like I said above, I am sure there are many places where I could improve this code, so please critique at will.
If anything needs to be clarified, let me know.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down
Bavarian Blast
THUMBS UP: It's Bavarian Blast time again. The festival survived some rocky financial patches the last couple of years with a solid attendance last year, and is back again at the Brown County fairgrounds. The weather promises to be a bit nicer this weekend, which should help attendees have a good time.
We hope all New Ulmites will take the opportunity to spend some time at the festgrounds this weekend and have a Blast.
Girls Nation attendee
THUMBS UP: It's always a nice honor for local boys and girls to be selected to attend the American Legion Auxiliary's Boys State or Girls State. This year a New Ulm girl went even farther, being selected to attend the ALA's Girls Nation in Washington, D.C. this weekend.
Myra Soukup of New Ulm is attending the event after being selected as one of two girls from the Minnesota Girls State for the honor.
Congratulations to Myra.
Comfrey compassion
THUMBS UP: The Comfrey community dedicated a memorial last weekend to the flight crew that died 50 years ago when a U.S. Air Force B-47 bomber crashed in a field nearby. It was Feb. 20, 1963, when the big plane crashed, but Comfrey residents who were there remembered the event, and held a wonderful dedication, including the surviving family members of those who were lost in the crash.
It was a stirring event, and the memorial is a fine, permanent reminder that those who were lost in the service of their country are not forgotten.
Bikers' rest
THUMBS UP: It's seems like an unusual coincidence, but area has been a kind of biker's rest for some long-distance two-wheel pedallers. A group of bikers travelling across the country stopped here last Saturday, on a ride to raise money for the American Lung Association. Another group, riding for pleasure down the length of Minnesota stopped in Winthrop, passing through New Ulm, taking a break in Searles as they headed south for Iowa and the RAGBRAI. And a group of five that is skateboarding across the country to raise awareness for Alzheimers was scheduled to stop overnight in New Ulm last night.
The RAGBRAI bikers pointed out that there are a lot of recreational bikers looking for trails where they can take off on paved paths and see the country without dodging a lot of traffic. They tend to stop a lot, spending a little money when they do.
We know there are efforts to connect up a lot of the shorter trails in this part of the state. It would certainly benefit a lot of communities if those efforts are successful.

I quite enjoyed this video of Hallie H.M. swimming 26.2 miles down the Tennessee River near Chattanooga.
Hallie, who I Swam the Suck with last year, retraced the scenic 10-mile course but started further upriver, and then kept on going several miles further into the Gorge. The video, appropriately backed by Jackson Browne's "Running on Empty" (ha, ha), is pure joy. Makes me regret I won't be returning this year.
Here's what Karah (Swim the Suck founder & race director) had to say:
She is a REAL trooper. No touching another human, no standing, no wetsuit. She did the real thing.
Indeed. Congrats, Hallie!

Meeting Description:
CLARA researcher training course on integration of terminological language resources across domains and languages
The Department of Professional and Intercultural Communication at NHH will host a one-week PhD training course on methods and technologies for consolidating and integrating terminological resources across domains and languages.
Confirmed Speakers:
- Rita Temmerman, CVC, Erasmushogeschool Brussel (NL)
- Stefan Geissler, Temis (DE)
- Bodil Nistrup Madsen, Copenhagen Business School (DK)
- Andrejs Vasiļjevs, Tilde (LV)
- Bolette Sandford Pedersen, CST (DK)
- Kara Warburton, ISO TC37 (CA)
- Henrik Nilsson, TNC (SE)
- Marita Kristiansen, NHH (NO)
Aim and Focus:
The research training course aims to address theoretical, methodological, technological and linguistic issues relevant for state-of-the-art terminology work, including multilingual perspectives, terminological variation, corpus-based term extraction and ontology-based domain recognition. There is a special focus on the consolidation and integration of existing terminological language resources. This is particularly relevant in light of coordinated efforts such as the EuroTermBank and CLARIN, but various other initiatives and projects will also be discussed.
Research Training:
This PhD level course will be part of the thematic training programme offered by the Marie Curie ITN project CLARA. The course will consist of lectures, discussions, hands-on training activities and thesis/project work. The PhD students will be invited to present their projects for discussion with the invited speakers and other course participants.
The course is specifically aimed at early stage researchers pursuing a PhD degree, but is also open for candidates at master and postdoctoral levels. The course is relevant for researchers who are using language resources in their work and who need training in state-of-the-art tools in terminology and multilingual resources. We expect participants to have some knowledge about computational aspects, but the course does not require specific programming skills. Candidates who are affiliated with CLARA through one of its member institutions will be given priority, but we also welcome other national and international candidates.
ECTS Credits:
Participation in the course will give 5 ECTS credits for candidates at PhD level who present their work, and a Diploma will be provided. Candidates not presenting will be given a Course Attendance Certificate.
Registration deadline (extended): 1 August 2010

Anyone else experience a "buzz" when drinking tea? (no, I'm not lacing my tea with anything "herbal" lol)
Just been noticing since brewing my tea in a more gongfucha style, that after 3 cups, my brain has this kinda tingly feeling. Not unpleasant, but I've never noticed getting this before when brewing tea western style.
maybe it's the polyphenol hit or something. Someone tell me I'm not crazy here.
