SAN FRANCISCO - March 12, 2012
Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) announced today that it invested $213.5 million in 19,000 nonprofits in 2011, giving more than $200 million for the fourth consecutive year. In addition, Wells Fargo team members increased their donations, which totaled more than $63.9 million and 1.5 million volunteer hours to more than 28,000 nonprofits and schools. For the third year in a row, United Way Worldwide has named Wells Fargo's annual Community Support and United Way Campaign the No. 1 Giving Campaign.
"Investing in our communities has been one of Wells Fargo's core values for 160 years," said Chairman and CEO John Stumpf. "We're committed to using our financial resources, as well as the expertise of our team members, to help ensure the long-term well being of the communities we serve."
Wells Fargo's local decision making model for grants and charitable giving allows team members living and working in Wells Fargo's communities to direct resources to those organizations and programs that are vital to the success of the communities they call home. Through this process, national-level resources can be distributed through grassroots giving.
In 2011, Wells Fargo's community investments included $67.8 million to 8,000 educational programs and schools around the U.S., and $63.2 million in grants to nonprofits focused on community development in distressed communities, including affordable housing, homeownership counseling, financial education, workforce development and job creation. In addition, Wells Fargo contributed to nonprofits serving the following causes:
- Arts and Culture: $14.2 million
- Civic¹: $13.7 million
- Environment: $4.4 million
- Human Services: $50.1 million
Team Member Giving and Volunteerism Increases
In 2011, 52,665 team members reported more than 1.5 million community involvement and volunteer hours, an increase of 10.8% from 2010, and valued at $32.1 million². Examples of volunteer activities included Habitat for Humanity builds; restoring parks and public land; and delivering financial education to 111,975 individuals and families using Wells Fargo's Hands on Banking® program.
"Each year our team members prove that we are truly committed to helping the communities where our customers live, work, and do business, and this year was no exception," said Jon Campbell, head of the Social Responsibility Group at Wells Fargo. "By giving so generously of their time, talent, and even their personal financial resources, our team members are making a lasting impact on the lives of others, and they're doing it in increasing numbers."
In addition to increased levels of volunteer and community service time, Wells Fargo's team members continued to set records in terms of their donations to nonprofit organizations. In 2011, Wells Fargo team members contributed $41.6 million to more than 25,000 nonprofits and schools during Wells Fargo's annual Community Support and United Way Campaign. Combined with other year-round donations to nonprofits, team member donations exceeded $63.9 million, a 15% increase over the $55.3 million contributed in 2010 and the ninth straight year of double-digit increases in pledge totals.
Wells Fargo encourages team members to donate to any nonprofit, school or religious institution of their choice. One hundred percent of team member donations go to the organizations they choose. Wells Fargo pays all processing costs, and it matches gifts to qualifying schools through the campaign – and year-round – up to $5,000 per team member.

Summer is still more than a month away, but if you visit party or gift stores, the signs of the upcoming summer party season are evident: "Congrats Grad!" banners, plates and napkins are popping up along with patriotic decorations for Memorial Day cookouts and 4th of July block parties.
Yes, summer is the season of graduation parties, wedding and baby showers, cook-outs, block parties and dozens of other great reasons to gather together, eat, drink and share. And with each gathering comes the lingering question: "will we have enough food?" "how much will our guests drink?"
There are great websites that have suggestions such as "5 bites of an appetizer, per person, per hour for a cocktail party" or "4 ounces of a pasta dish if used as an appetizer" or "5 ounces per side dish for a meal," all of which can help in planning.
Abstract numbers and figures can truly help in party planning, but I have found another tip that I want to share with you: from planning, to preparing the food, to making sure everything is ready when the guests arrive, I have found that writing it down helps in so many ways.
First, you can learn from your past parties to help you plan future events. What got eaten? What was too labor intensive? Did you have enough of one certain dish? All can be easily recorded in what I call the post-party debrief:
Second, on the list you can plot out your timing for each dish, how long it must cook or if it needs special serving pieces:
Third, and most importantly, this type of planning simply helps *you* enjoy the event too!
I keep all of our past party notes in a binder with my hard copy recipes. When it is time to plan a new party, I whip our the notes and plan away, feeling more confident in our party's success!
Life is a celebration,
PS--Don't forget to enter the Le Creuset give away!

When Lee Valsvik was doing a live television report with some Minnesota Vikings fans, she couldn't have predicted how horribly it would go wrong.
Interviewing fans at a restaurant about the Minnesota Vikings' playoff game against the Green Bay Packers (which the Vikings lost), Valsvik eagerly encouraged the fans to partake in a pick-up game of gridiron.
Unfortunately, after the ball was thrown to the receiver and he advanced into shot, Valsvik was caught off guard, and in the way. The reporter was up-ended in a flash.
She took the embarrassing gaffe well though and was heard yelling "I'm okay" to camera while finding her feet.

Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] 4.25 Firmware Update Issues
I went to off ps3 and turn back on now i cant get picture no matter if i wiggle hdmi or not! This is not good! I am on the phone to sony at the moment. I will post what they say as soon as I find out. They said wait time is 7 mins. or less.
Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] 4.25 Firmware Update Issues
I just got off the phone with sony. They troubleshooted me through and the end result was the same no picture on screen even with the a/v cable! They said that some people like to blame the problem on the update that they think its something in the system and it was just ironic that it happend during the update. (Haven't I heard that one before) Well anyways its still under the 1 year warranty so they are sending me a pre-paid box to ship back to them and they said it will take 3-5 days to receive the box, then it take about a week for them to get it via FED EX, and then about another week tor me to get it back and most likely a new one. So there you go folks! I guess I'll be out of a ps3 for about 3 weeks! Time to bring out my roku for streaming! And no nfl sunday ticket for 3 weeks and I wonder if they offer a discount on that while i have no service? When it rains it pours!
Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] 4.25 Firmware Update Issues
Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] 4.25 Firmware Update Issues
It appears the update has killed my PS3 as well. Here are the details as requested:
- 120 GB Slim
- Wired
- 4.20 previous
On the first try of the update, it went to 99% and just froze. On a second try, it installed and went to automatically reboot. However, although it powered up, there was no signal as the TV said to check the power, cables or source. I even tried hooking it up to another TV and still nothing. I can load a disk and eject it but that it about it. I will make the worthless call to Sony tomorrow but I have to say this is b.s.
Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] 4.25 Firmware Update Issues
They tried that mess with me and I'm not falling for it. I'm not in the warranty period and I never had trouble out of my system. They're trying to dupe the consumers out of money for their screw ups. If they don't do anything, I will use my journalistic powers and take this nationally if I have to.
Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] 4.25 Firmware Update Issues
This is just pathetic. Really pathetic. Not only is Sony horrible with their security, they're also horrible with their hardware AND software. I've had 3 PS3s and all 3 are useless. Drive died, YLOD, and with this update, my last PS3, constant freezing. I'm no fanboy, but I'd rather go play my Xbox 360 now. I'm fed up and through with Sony's nonesense. Sony will no longer be having my business, I hope other people follow suite. What's it going to take for Sony to get it together? Until they go out of business? Losing billions of yen apparently wasn't a wake up call.
Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] 4.25 Firmware Update Issues
I have a PS3 model CECHLO2, phat 80gb, default HDD, wired internet connection. I think I had the latest update (4.21), but am not 100% sure.
The only problem I've had is that the PS3 no longer outputs via HDMI to a DVi-D cable. It's not the cable as the same cable works on my Xbox 360 and it's not my projector's DVDi-D input as it works with the same cable with my Xbox 360. The HDMI output works fine to my Sony personal 3d headset (so HDMI to HDMI appears to work fine).
When I reset the A/V settings on the PS3, the PS3 does recognise that a HDMI unit is available, but when I select to output via HDMI (connected to my projector with the HDMI to DVi-D cable) the projector just displays a blue image with static and pixels for a few seconds, then turns black for a second or two and then back to the blue screen for a few seconds.....this is the only image being displayed when using the hdmi-dvi-d cable(the projector first outputs a 1080i image and then changes to 576p...but still just has the blue and then black screen).
This happened the first time after I updated to 4.25.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm in Australia if that makes any difference.
Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] 4.25 Firmware Update Issues[ Edited ]
I have a 160 gb slim and i updated from 4.21 to 4.25 i have a wired connection and i am only having issues with Madden 13 the digital version since the Update.
Re: [FEEDBACK REQUESTED] 4.25 Firmware Update Issues
I have the original phat 60GB PS3 with 150GB custom HD installed. Internet connection is wired. Updated from 4.21.
Ever since the update, I can no longer use the Sony PS3 Bluetooth controller. The controller is probably the 1st series that was produced. I have tried new batteries and tried to re-register the device. Nothing has worked.

What is the most rubber to road I can get?
I have been searching, researching, and have found a lot of information, but wanted to be sure before I get ready to potentially purchase some new wheels for the ride now that I just paid her off :clap:
Sportline Springs/Koni Yellow
Almost maxed out camber within specification
Rear fender was slightly rolled, bumper bolt slightly shaved (will probably shave more)
Here is my current setup:
OE 135s (18x8" ET46 front / 18x8.5" ET51 rear)
Stock tire sizes (225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear)
25mm rear spacers and 20mm front spacers (effective ET of 27 front/ET26 rear)
I very rarely ever rub, only at complete compression of the suspension, and I know I will probably need to shave the rear bumper bolts some more as they only very rarely scrape at full compression)
Here is what I want to go to:
ARC-8 (18x9.5" ET35 all around)
My question is, how much tire can I have on this setup? I really want to have as much rubber to the road, don't want to have much of a stretch either, because it will just increase my wheel gap, so please help! Based on what I have read, I can do a 255/35 all around, which on the ARC-8 wheels would be virtually square, but would that give me enough clearance all around? Could I pull off a 265/40?
Also, I have been searching for days, but haven't seen a picture exactly from the front of a coupe with this setup to confirm how much poke there will be in the front, as I really dont want to go that route either.
Please help experts! I don't plan on going with coilovers or any lower, as I drive this car hard, so I am also open to different wheel widths/offsets, but I just have to have concavity!
Thanks in advance
Nobody? Oh well lol
(Just as extra information, I don't plan on running the square setup with the spacers I already have lol)
18x9.5" ET35 wheels in a square format on an E46 are about the limit of what the car can fit. People use these wheels on their car but it is always at a compromise of using narrower tires on the wheel and a good amount of negative camber.
Almost all of the people that have used the 18x9.5" ET35 in a square fitment on their cars use a 245/35/18 because any tire that is much wider or taller is a very tough fit. A 255/35/18 could possibly fit with enough negative camber achieved through adjustable camber plates up front and fender pulling in the rear but it would not be possible though pulling the front alignment pins on your stock strut mounts alone. A 265/40/18 tire is significantly too tall and wide to fit under your fenders.
This car is using significantly stretched tires that are 245/35/18 or even smaller and you can see how far the 18x9.5" ET35 wheel pokes out from the fender:
A much better fit that is still a concave wheel would be our 18x9.5" ET43 EC-7 wheel with a 255/35/18 tire. This wheel was specifically designed with your car in mind to allow for a concave wheel but not the fender work that usually accompanies a concave wheel. The front would need a 15mm wheel spacer and negative camber achieved through adjustable camber plates.
This car has 18x8.5" ET35 and 18x9.5" ET43 EC-7's with 235/40/18 and 255/35/18 tires.

Our team is here to help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Liverpool has been rising up in the ranks as being a popular city to visit. For those hoping to get away from home for a few days and looking to visit somewhere different, Liverpool certainly has a lot to offer. The metropolitan city has all the usual tourist attractions you would expect from shopping to museums so you won't be short of things to do. There is also plenty to do near to the city centre if you wish to go elsewhere.
Things to do
Liverpool is a city that is big enough for you to most likely find yourself spoilt for choice with the activities on offer. The music scene is one of the biggest elements that continues to pull people to the city. Artists from the region are thought to have produced more number one singles than those from any other city. Consequently, if you want to take in some music from local bands, you are sure to find some great upcoming artists playing in the smaller, less commercial venues.
Liverpool is the home to two Premier League football teams - Liverpool FC and Everton FC. Both are worth going to watch if you want to see some quality sport being played. There is also England's Golf Coast, offering some of the finest golf courses in the world. On top of that, the Grand National is held at Aintree every year; ideal if you want to buy a new hat and dabble in some gambling on Ladies' Day.
There are the usual places to visit such as the main shopping centre, Liverpool One. There are restaurants and a cinema in the complex so you will be able to shop until you drop then relax with a nice meal and a movie. The centre also includes facilities to keep the little ones entertained so that you can shop in peace.
Go exploring
If you want to see what else the city has to offer, don't be afraid to head slightly further afield. While not one of the bigger cities in the UK, Liverpool still has a lot to offer and you can easily hire a car and drive out to the surrounding areas. Head to the port and catch the ferry over to Dublin for a few days. It won't take you long to get there and you can turn it into a mini holiday within a holiday.
On the other side of the Mersey river, you'll find West Kirby Marine Lake. Situated in the Wirral, this man-made lake is ideal for water sports. Whether you want to take part in a bit of windsurfing or a gentler sailing trip, you'll find ample facilities here, as it also hosts several competitions each year.
You also have the option of going to New Brighton if you fancy a trip to the seaside. With sandy beaches, you can go all traditional and get an ice cream and visit the arcade. You will also find the bandstand that hosts a variety of different musical event featuring everything from a full orchestra to a choir.

Bearcats Fall 18-10 to Cardinals in Final Road Game of the Season
April 21, 2013
LOUISVILLE- Freshman goalkeeper Meg Gulmi (Syosset, N.Y./Syosset) recorded a career-high 16 saves Sunday afternoon as the University of Cincinnati women's lacrosse team (6-8, 0-6) fell 18-10 to the University of Louisville Cardinals (9-6, 1-5).
Louisville opened an early 4-0 lead with goals by Nikki Boltja, Cortnee Daley, Colleen O'Malley and Monica Negron.
Sophomore midfielder Megan Bell (Baltimore, Md./Hereford) put the Bearcats on the board at the 18:28 mark. UC locked down on defense over the next eight minutes, but O'Malley extended the Cards' lead to 5-1 on a free-position goal. UofL would add two more goals before the end of the first period.
UC closed the gap just before halftime as redshirt senior midfielder Kylie Ramsland (Catonsville, Md./Chapelgate Christian) and freshman midfielder Courtney Curtis (Mason, Ohio/Mason) netted back-to-back goals to bring the Bearcats within four (7-3) at the half.
Gulmi faced 15 shots and recorded eight saves in the first half. She ended the afternoon with a career-high 16 saves and faced 44 shots, the most UC has faced all season. Gulmi's 16 saves also tie for No. 7 all-time for saves in a single game by an individual and tie for No. 8 all-time for team saves in a single game.
Daley scored again for the Cards 45 seconds into the second half, but Bell responded for the Bearcats, caging her second goal of the afternoon (8-4 UofL). At the 25:52 mark Daley netted her third goal of the afternoon to increase the Cards' lead to 9-4.
Curtis pulled the Bearcats within four (10-6), slashing through the defense to score back-to-back goals. UofL would go on to score three consecutive goals, but midfielder Sarah Del Bene (Timonium, Md./Dulaney) ended the Cards' run, driving down the middle to score her seventh goal of the season. UC then scored two more goals as Bell and junior midfielder Taylor Young (Cincinnati, Ohio/Sycamore) put the ball in the cage to make the score 13-9 in favor of the Cards with 11:55 remaining in regulation.
UofL ended the game on a 4-1 run to secure the victory. The Cardinals were paced by Daley's four goals. Boltja and O'Malley followed with three goals apiece.
Bell led the Bearcats with three goals and a game-high six draw controls; Curtis also ended the game with three goals. Young had a game-high four ground ball pickups. As a team, UC had 23 shots and caused seven UofL turnovers.
UC returns to the Sheakley Athletics Center next weekend to close out the 2013 campaign with BIG EAST games against Villanova Friday, April 26 at 4 p.m. ET and Rutgers Sunday, April 28 at 1 p.m. ET.

Date of Stay: July, 2006
Do not let the lack of 50 amp service or water or sewer connections fool you. This is a top notch campground that is among some of the best maintained and planned I have seen. There are several potable water spots throughout the campground and a spot to fill your tanks by the front office. We filled our 23 gallon tank and this more than surficed the 4 nights we were here. The campground was rated as one of the Top 100 in the nation in 2003 and that was before they did a 3 million dollar renovation of the grounds. The campground is located right on Fall Lake in northern Minnesota. There are sites for every type of camper. Pull-Throughs for big rigs and bigger fifth wheels, secluded back in sites for those with travel trailers, tent campers and fifth wheels. Lakeside sites, enclosed wooded sites and more. We literally could not see our neighbors and had more visits from chipmunks than we did from other campers. The roads are all paved and the bathrooms are absolutely immaculate. There are two groups sites that can be booked which have their own shared bathroom facility, secured entry from the rest of the campground, pavilions, private docks and two fire rings to each site. One on the lake and one up in your private group site. This place was well worth the 4 hour drive from Saint Paul and we have already booked sites for a return visit. If you are in to tenting in the wilderness, most of the tent sites can't even be seen from the road. This place is top notch and to make it even better, you have direct canoe access to the boundary waters and a boat launch for your other boats right in the campground area. Can't say enough good things about this place.
Date of Stay: July, 2006
First off let me say, this is not a campground, it is an RV park. The Woodalls website is actually a bit misleading as the sites on this page look to be very large when in all actuality they are quite small. This park is also nestled right inside a trailer park. If big sites are not your thing and you just need a quick place to stay, this place is great. All the roads are paved and all sites have sewer, water, 50,30 and 20 amp service. The playground equipment is very well maintained, staff is very friendly and the bathrooms and showers were clean and nice. There is a kids only fishing pond and the park is located both on the Mississippi and a smaller stream. Overall it is a nice place but not a place for those looking for large sites and a bit of privacy. We had roughly 12 to 15 feet on each side of our pad and that was it. Outside of that, nice place. We stayed in a tent trailer.
Date of Stay: July, 2006
Staff was friendly enough and there were a lot of activities for kids. Pool was in very nice shape. They had a band on Sunday evening and other activities for adults to participate in as well. Campground was fairly well maintained but many sites either have no shade or the ones that do have shade are crammed in very tightly. 4 sites share water and electric which can make it difficult when you have a tent trailer and two travel trailers all via'ing for the same power and water. Overall not bad, recommend sites 121 and 122 for good shade and size. Try to stay out of the Little John's area, and the Greens. Bathrooms were clean but showers were filthy. Lots of porta johns that needed to be cleaned. We had to request that the one next to us get pumped as it was very smelly by the second day into the trip.
Date of Stay: May, 2006
This is a quiet little park right off of the freeway. There is some limited seasonal access and some quick pull through sites near the interstate that the ownership group leaves open for the quick overnight stay. The campground has spacious open areas in the back that are seldom used for camping. (Occasional primitive tenting). There is a playground and the staff was very courteous and friendly. (New ownership in 2005). Restrooms were clean with mens room recently remodeled. Although no pool is available at the campground, there is a pool located less than 1/2 mile into town along with a nice 9 hole golf course. It does boarder a river but none of the sites are on the river. Overall a great little place to stay.
Date of Stay: August, 2005
Staff is friendly and the store and game room are adequate size for the campground size. Tubing and other activities help keep kids busy and a variety of different site locations, shade options and site sizes make this a nice campground. Bathrooms can be difficult to access as the main bathroom is at the bottom of the bluff and can be a hike if you are on the top of the bluff. Many times a vehicle was the best way to go to get back and forth to the bathrooms and peak times, (morning and night), can be very crowded in the restrooms. Surprisingly the campground was almost completely mosquito free!
Date of Stay: August, 2004
This campground was quiet and well maintained. The pool was fairly new at the time that we were there and it was a great place for just a quick quiet retreat. Mosquitos were a bit bad along the river sites but those were the only sites with shade. The open sites next to the pool did not seem to have quiet as bad a mosquito problem but they did not have any shade. This campground definitely isn't fancy but there is a lot of open room for the pets to run and it does border the Cannon River which is great for canoeing and kayaking. Overall, we would go again as staff was friendly and campground was quiet.

Here's what's hot in the market today: Chip maker Marvell surprised with its forecast while retailers Gordmans and Rue21 experienced wildly different fortunes, with the first way down and the latter way up. Meanwhile acquisition talks led to a spike up for digital video device manufacturer SeaChange, and Indian Priceline competitor MakeMyTrip saw a nasty dip.
Marvell Technology Group (NASDAQ: MRVL) rose more than 10% to a little over $16 on trading of nearly 38 million shares, more than triple its average trading volume. Chip maker MRVL Thursday reported a downturn in first quarter earnings but forecast a 20% rise in second quarter revenues. JPMorgan analyst projected "strong top-line growth for the rest of this year and beyond."
MakeMyTrip (NASDAQ: MMYT), the Indian online vacation planning service and competitor of Expedia (NASDAQ: EXPE) and Priceline (NASDAQ: PCLN), dropped more than 5% on 1.5 million shares, about 12-times normal volume. The drop came after the company announced it would sell 5.2 million shares at $24 a share in a secondary offering. In Monday, MMYT said it would offer 6 million shares. MMYT was trading near $23 by midday.
Gordmans Stores (NASDAQ: GMAN) was down a whopping 22% to near $17 in midday trading. The dip came after Wells Fargo and other banks downgraded GMAN's valuation from $17-19 per share to $16-$17. More than 1 million shares of the drug and convenience store chain have traded, 13-times the normal daily volume.
Rue21 (NASDAQ: RUE), the Pennsylvania-based clothier, was up almost 15% to nearly $33 by midday with more than 1.2 million shares changing hands, up from average volume of 285,000 shares. Rue21 reported profits were up 65% year-on-year in its strong first quarter earnings.
SeaChange (NASDAQ: SEAC) was up about 12% to a little over $11 on more than three times normal trading volume. The Wall Street Journal reported that Arris Group (NASDAQ: ARRS) is looking to acquire the developer of digital video systems and services. SeaChange equipment is used by Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ).

They key to any great hairstyle or haircut is knowing what you are working with. And beyond that, taking what you've got and realistically embracing it to its fullest potential to look your best. In that regard, before we really get started, I need to go over a few key words that describe hair types we'll be discussing. Most people get the density and texture of a hair strand mixed up and in order to fully understand what I will be explaining and exploring today, I need you to know what I'm truly saying.
The density of someone's hair refers to how much hair exists in an area on the scalp. For example, if you take one inch of a person's head, hold the hair and see a lot of bare scalp, that person has very thin hair. Density can be either thin, medium, or thick depending on how much scalp is visible. Texture, however, refers to the actual hair strand itself. If an individual hair strand is very large in circumference, we would call that a coarse hair strand. If a hair strand is incredibly skinny in width, we would call that a fine hair strand. It's important to note that someone can have very thick hair in density, but fine strands in texture. This hair type happens to be the most prone to tangling. Or a person can have very coarse hair in texture and very thin density. Sometimes, this can be very confusing to hairdressers and clients alike, so I just want you to understand what the truth is about your hair before we start breaking down the lies about it
Today, we are talking the biggest lies you've believed about your hair type and why they are simply just myths. We'll cover them all and I'll leave you with a lot of information, but as always, if you have questions, feel free to leave a comment and I will get to as many as time allows!
Myth #1: Fine Hair Is A Lost Cause
I know this sounds like a harsh way to speak about our wispy-haired sisters, but it's truly what a lot of hairdressers and clients believe. I can't tell you how many women I've met in my chair who have such a depressing outlook on their fine hair. They say, "Do whatever you can with it" and "I've never had a cut that works for me". They just expect that no one will have the skills or time to make their hair look beautiful. And I get it as I have had fine, thin hair my whole life. It wasn't until I began doing hair myself and could explain to other hairdressers how to cut my hair that I finally felt like I could rock a great style. And it really, really sucks to feel that your hair will never come close to those ladies who have beautiful, thick tresses when your hair is such a part of your identity.
Well, it's simply not true. You should know by now that I believe everyone can have great hair. The first piece of putting this puzzle together is your outlook. Ladies, you've got to stop acting like your fine hair is such a burden; it's not! So stop treating it that way. The next missing piece is to understand your hair type. You need to know that lots of layers are a huge no-no because they will make your ends look too thin. But you need to accept that there are certain layers that can amp your hair up to the next level and not be afraid to try them with the right hairdresser. The secret is to wear "long layers" that can allow for more volume at the root and still maintain fullness at the ends. You need to know that a diagonal back side part is a great solution to get more volume. To do so, try parting on one side directly above the arch of your eyebrow and and comb it back towards the center of the top of your head, ending at your crown. And switch sides on a weekly or monthly basis to get a little extra oomph.
I also believe that using the right product is so incredibly crucial for fine hair. You need a product that gives you volume, hold, shine and heat protection. But it also has to be weightless so that your hair isn't fallen down flat two hours into your day. Your answer is definitely not more hairspray (as most of us think), but Kevin.Murphy's Anti Gravity. You can blowdry in the lotion on days that you wash and spritz it in through spray form on the days when you want to get up and go. I am seriously obsessed with this product and it's been the only thing that will give my hair lots of hold, but since it's oil free, I also don't have to worry about tons of product build up on day two or three. With how this product and a great cut make my hair look on a daily basis, clients who sit in my chair with the same hair type are genuinely shocked when I tell them that naturally, my hair lays flat to my head and looks like four measly little strands coming from my scalp. And bonus points: it only takes me ten minutes to style my four little strands every morning!

Hello folks.
I posted here a while ago because my dog had begun crying in her crate after months of being perfectly fine in there. Everybody who commented was very helpful, but one problem that I mentioned in that post has persisted even though Fiver is now once again comfortable in the crate.
Basically, Fiver is afraid of the dark.
Short version: at night, on walks, she is oblivious to commands and startles easily.
Longer version:
When we first got her, she was terrified of the dark, to the point that we had trouble getting her to go outside at night. Of course, she was four months old at the time. I asked around and was told that this might be normal, as puppies are often afraid of the world, their eyesight may be very bad, and she probably spent several hours in the back of a dark truck on her way up from TN just before we adopted her.
As time went on, she got better. Eventually we could leave her in her crate at night with only a nightlight instead of leaving the overhead light on. She would go outside to go to the bathroom, but was still resistant to going for walks or hanging around in the yard, especially since our outside light was on a sensor and might suddenly turn off if I didn't wave at it periodically. This would startle her, make her very unhappy. At this point I was told that she was an adolescent, and sometimes adolescents regress and become fearful. I was pretty sure that didn't make any sense, since this actually constituted PROGRESS, rather than regression, but I figured I would wait a while and see.
Now she is one year old, and obviously still afraid of the dark. It has become a more frequent issue now, since we have moved to a new house where there are few streetlights and because of the short days she needs to walk in the dark or not at all (in the evening).
Her fear manifests in a few ways, but two in particular are what make me pretty sure this is fear of the dark.
First, when we set out on our walk, she has a 1,000 mile stare. She behaves herself OK (she is pretty good at loose leash walking, but not perfect yet by any stretch), but I am basically invisible to her. I don't know what she is looking at, if anything. She pulls a bit between streetlights (the few that we have), and won't walk at all on streets that do not have lights, although I won't either if I can help it so that hasn't been as much of a problem. She is almost completely oblivious to treats. She will take a treat if you put it right in front of her nose, but half the time she just chews it for a second and then drops it. If I can startle her into following a command, such as heel or sit, by saying her name or touching her, I can't reward her because she has lost focus by the time I get my hand to her mouth. Even if she sits or heels, she cannot see me. Even if I stand in her field of vision, she seems to stare straight through me.
The second, and worse, manifestation occurs if something startles her between streetlights, such as a horse stirring, a branch snapping, a neighbor putting out their trash, or a sudden gust of wind. She bolts, as hard and fast as she can, for the nearest source of light. This can include strange houses or CAR HEADLIGHTS. Yes, headlights. The dog will charge at headlights coming towards her at 30 mph, with me hanging on for dear life. Usually once this happens, I will stand stock-still and coo at her a little, staying as calm as possible, until she gets enough of a grip to respond to a sit command. However from that point on we basically have to head home as quickly as possible, because the slightest thing will set her off again.
If we are out walking near dusk, you can watch her getting more and more anxious. She will actually start pulling even worse than if we started walking after dark, trying to get home before the sun sets.
Now, in other areas she has improved significantly. If I drive her 5-10 minutes "downtown" (basically three intersections) where there are more streetlights, she can walk pretty well and even greet other people. She responds to treats and commands, but refuses to turn off Main Street onto any side streets. In our backyard, she is perfectly fine with the floodlight on, running and playing and generally unconcerned even though just outside the fence it is just as dark as it is on the street. Although she will start barking when outside with less provocation at night than during the day, I figure this is normal because it is also more quiet. Even over at our friends' home, where they have only a little light in the backyard, she will zoom all around in the dark, even behind their shed where no light reaches. Of course they also have a dog whom she sticks pretty close to. At night she still sleeps with a nightlight, loose in the bedroom now that she can be trusted, but that is OK because it does not bother us. However with regards to walking in our neighborhood she seems to have plateaued.
So the problem is basically limited to walking at night, which would be OK except that it means that walking with her at night has become a major chore. Walking with Fiver is one of my favorite things, even in the morning (and I am NOT a morning person), but once that sun starts to dip we know we can't just stroll out our front door anymore. It would be nice for both our sakes if there was something I could do to acclimate her to the dark. I especially worry about her lack of responsiveness, which obviously could be very dangerous. She loves to be outside and spends a lot of the day just hanging out in the backyard, but after dark I am afraid of what might happen if she is left out there alone.
Of course whenever we tell people she is afraid of the dark, they think it's just adorable.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
Oh, in case it matters, we don't know her exact breed but most people guess she is a German shepherd/husky mix.

September 17, Chicago - John B. Wilson, a former associated person of FSG International, Inc., an introducing broker NFA Member located in Lauderhill, Florida, agreed in a settlement offer to be barred from NFA membership and Associate membership for two years.

- Take me back to Constantinople, by Edward Luttwak | Foreign Policy – Economic crisis, mounting national debt, excessive foreign commitments — this is no way to run an empire. America needs serious strategic counseling. And fast. It has never been Rome, and to adopt its strategies no — its ruthless expansion of empire, domination of foreign peoples, and bone-crushing brand of total war — would only hasten America's decline. Better instead to look to the empire's eastern incarnation: Byzantium, which outlasted its Roman predecessor by eight centuries. It is the lessons of Byzantine grand strategy that America must rediscover today.

This is the closest look the public has had yet of the stricken container ship Rena.
The images were captured by a photographer who got close to the grounded ship off the coast of Tauranga.
They reveal the severe listing of the ship - and the massive rift in the side of the vessel.
Maritime New Zealand salvage adviser Captain Jon Walker had been out on the water next to the ship and said there was an "unnerving" sound of steel ripping against steel.
Aboard, salvage workers from around the world were trying desperately to pump the remaining 1346 tonnes of oil off the ship before more bad weather hits this week. None was removed yesterday and with the oil dense like Marmite, an Archimedes screw pump is in place for today.
Seven salvage workers and two industrial chemists boarded the ship yesterday amid dangerous conditions.
Rena was sitting on a 21 degree list on the Astrolabe Reef, and was at the mercy of the elements.
Stacked containers aboard the ship formed a towering mass which dwarfed observers.
"The containers themselves are not so big but when they are stacked up on one another and the vessel is moving, the whole tower tilts," Walker said.
"You can see the containers bending on up over top of you."
Workers had to put up with constant noise around them. "You can hear rock ripping against steel. But when you get inside you can hear lots of groaning of steel against steel and the movement of the containers. It's quite unnerving."
On shore, frustration was mounting among locals whose desire to help was being blocked by official channels.
Resident Rob Hooper said he registered as a volunteer with Maritime New Zealand on Wednesday but never heard back.
Tay St dairy owner Pete Grinrod had heard of about half a dozen people with the same story. He said some locals had gone down to the beach with buckets and boots anyway, only to be told to leave. "It's our little piece of paradise and we want to help."
Plastic bags of collected oil have started to appear next to public bins.
One local resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said he'd seen people cleaning the beaches in the early hours of the morning, before beach patrols started, and dumping bags.
Approximately 4200 volunteers had registered with Maritime NZ, and about 2000 were involved in clean-up efforts across the area yesterday.
Papamoa Beach appeared to have the most people working on it.
Environment Minister Nick Smith said about 70 per cent of the beaches had been cleared by the end of yesterday.

Team's Efforts with Marketing Partners & Fans Touch Thousands
By John Sadak / Wilmington Blue Rocks | October 20, 2010 9:53 AM ET
"We take pride in being able to contribute at this level to youth and charitable organizations in the greater Wilmington area," said Blue Rocks general manager Chris Kemple. "I'm certain that we could not have done this without assistance from our 2010 marketing partners and fans that also played a large role in raising these funds."
Below is a breakdown of the team's efforts in the community during the campaign:
Cash Donations - $19,115
The Wilmington Blue Rocks were able to donate $19,115 to local organizations in 2010. These donations included Little League sponsorships, specialty game-worn memorabilia auctions, ticket kickbacks, and a sponsorship with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Delaware.
During select games, the Blue Rocks wore special jerseys or hats. That apparel was then auctioned and raffled off during those games. Some items were auctioned off online as well. Below are a few examples:
Boots on the Ground - Blue Rocks wore Camo hats
Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition - Blue Rocks wore Pink jerseys
B+ Foundation - Blue Rocks wore Throwback jerseys
Other organizations that benefited from this included: The Ronnie Williams Foundation, the ING DIRECT Kids Foundation, United Cerebral Palsy of Delaware, and the Kelly Heinz-Grundner Brain Tumor Foundation.
Ticket Donations - 66,798 tickets, Value - $601,182
Each year, the Blue Rocks are able to accommodate almost every donation request. Through those donation requests, school programs, and by offering bulk tickets to select local organizations (Kind to Kids, USO Delaware, Delaware Police Departments, and more), the Blue Rocks were able to donate almost 67,000 tickets for the 2010 season.
Centerplate Concession Stand Money - $63,149.99
During the 2010 season, local organizations had the opportunity to work the concession stands during Blue Rocks games. In exchange, Centerplate, the concessionaire for the Wilmington Blue Rocks, gave them a portion of the revenue from that game. Throughout the season, over $63,000 was donated to these organizations for their efforts.
Non-Ticket Donations - $21,575
These donations are for extraordinary cases that call for something extra special. Non-ticket donations consist of:
Luxury Suites
Experience Items (first pitches, on-field inclusion)
Autographed Items (bats, baseballs)
Merchandise/Promo Items
Blue Rocks Baseball Camp Scholarships
Used Baseballs/Gloves/Equipment
Advertising Donations - $8,500
During home games, the Blue Rocks allowed select non-profits to promote themselves or upcoming events. This promotion was executed through the use of the RocksVision video board, the public address system, and by providing concourse tables.
Speaking Appearances
The Blue Rocks Front Office donated over 50 hours of their time to speak at community events. These events included speaking to children at local elementary schools, high schools, and colleges about careers in sports, and speaking to local organizations about the Blue Rocks.
Player Appearances
Wilmington Blue Rocks Players made many appearances over the 2010 season. Some of these appearances included visiting the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children (at least once a month), a youth detention center, local schools, United Cerebral Palsy's summer camp, as well as other local summer camps.
Mascot Appearances - $7,500
Rocky Bluewinkle visited 196 community events this year. (Spanned over 240 hours; Value of free or discounted appearances - $7,500).
In-Stadium Fundraising at Frawley Stadium - $23,700
The Blue Rocks opened up Frawley Stadium to select charitable organizations during home games, and enabled them to raise money for their respective causes. Money was raised by selling t-shirts, raffle tickets, and by collecting donations. There have also been a number of check presentations before Blue Rocks games during the 2010 season.
K's for Kids: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware donated money every time a Blue Rocks pitcher recorded a strikeout at home. At the end of the season, Delaware Guidance Services for Children and Youth, Inc. was presented with a $5,000 check.
Stolen Base Learning Initiative: SBLI Life Insurance donated money for each Blue Rocks stolen base during a home game. At the end of the season, BooksFirst! was presented with a $5,000 check.

Paul Rainwater, who has worked as Gov. Bobby Jindal's key budget adviser as the commissioner of administration and as his chief of staff, is opening his own lobbying and consulting firm. (American Press Archives)
Last Modified: Thursday, March 06, 2014 4:18 PM
BATON ROUGE — Gov. Bobby Jindal's former chief of staff, Paul Rainwater, says he's opening his own lobbying and consulting firm.
Rainwater left the Jindal administration this week after serving most recently as chief of staff. Prior to that job, he had worked for the Republican governor as his commissioner of administration and his hurricane recovery adviser.
He helped manage the daily operations of Jindal's office and was one of the governor's closest advisers.
Rainwater told The Advocate on Wednesday that he was in the process of finding clients. In the past, he lobbied on oil and gas issues.

Hurricane Brackets (truss brackets)
I am finishing up my pole barn and one of the last things I have to do before the next inspection is to install the hurricane brackets between each truss and the wall header.
Each of these brackets has slots for 10 nails. Do I really have to put 10 nails in each bracket to pass inspection?
One of the challenges is that on each truss where it lines up, is where the metal fasteners they used to join the 2x4s together is, so I have to predrill 5 holes. I have 24 trusses, so 48 brackets and 480 nails.....
It sure seems like a major overkill.
If you only needed 2 nails they would have only put 2 holes in the straps.
At Simpson, you can use the H-clip instead. But, I use a pair of locking pliers clamped on a masonry nail, to tap a start hole in each gusset plate hole needed.
http://www.strongtie.com/products/CFS/H-Hybrid.asp If you have air, a $50 palm nailer works well. Be safe, GBAR
Rent/buy a palm nailer and save yourself a buttload of time and effort.
Most of the time your nails will line up with the slots in the gusset plates but if not a pair of pliers to hold the nail will save your fingers. The h-clips GBAR suggested are I think easier to work with and they can be installed from the inside also, which might help out by missing the gusset plate. And make sure you use the right nails. I've seen people use roofing nails, No good. and as far as the palm nailer suggestions, Not only will it save time but it will save your arms and wrist from unneeded pain.

Freeport gets application for a small commercial development
By BEN GRAFTON
At the 7 p.m. Freeport Planning Board meeting on June 1, City Planner Latilda Henninger introduced a new commercial development permit application submitted by Agape Vacation Rentals of Destin, Inc. The proposed project calls for construction of two buildings on a Blueberry Road parcel of approximately 0.6 acres.
Project spokesman and engineer Edwin Stanford, of Core Engineering & Consulting in Destin presented the application which includes survey information, an environmental assessment and engineering drawings with site plan information to the Planning Board. The first building erected will be a small commercial warehouse to be used for storage by the developers. A second building to be used as a woodworking shop will be added at a later date.
Project discussion turned to the requirement for installation of a lock box that would contain a key to give emergency entry to fire department or police personnel in the event of an incident. Board member Ronnie Brannon questioned whether or not this provision should be enforced in view of the added exposure it would give to thieves and vandals. Other members of the board said they understood Brannon's concern. Stanford said he did not think the lock box requirement was a good policy. In view of these comments Henninger said she would take this subject up with Fire Chief Ben Greenslait, and other city officials.
The board approved a motion to send the application to the City Council with a recommendation for approval.

Microsoft showed off slick Bing search features and a new online mapping site to reporters Wednesday. The changes are designed to be user-friendly and answer-oriented — a way for the company to try to catch Google online.
Microsoft's online efforts have been a persistent money loser for the software giant. It desperately wants to siphon off some of Google's massive profits, which it hoped to start doing this summer by unveiling Bing, its new-and-improved, rebranded search engine. Bing now has 83.3 million unique users a month and has picked up nearly 2 percent of search-market share up to 9.9 percent, compared to Google's 70 percent share.
"We have definitely broken through (in terms of perception)," said Satya Nadella, who leads the research group for Microsoft's online services. "It is one of the hottest new brands, which is good news for us."
Nadella says users continue to engage in long, complex searches online — which feeds into Bing's focus on helping people complete tasks — such as finding a restaurant or planning a trip.
To that end, Nadella showed off new search features that Microsoft calls "cards," which are specialized results for prominent entities such as rock bands, corporations, cities and universities.
For musicians, Bing borrows heavily from Yahoo's visual approach, showing a picture of the band prominently. Then Bing fills out the top results with deep links into the band's website, as well as links to songs, more images, a concert listing page and even the band's most recent Twitter post.
A search for the movie "Paranormal Activity" brings up local showtimes and a link to the movie's preview. A search for "Miami" brings up a hand-curated slideshow of professional quality pictures, alongside links to things to do in that city. A query on "weather in Los Angeles" reveals a page with detailed weather info from three different sources.
Microsoft also made hand-curated pages for top universities, providing a yield that feels much more like a compilation of information than simple pointers to pages that might have your answer.
Bing's curation strategy seems like a mix of interfaces from other also-ran search sites Yahoo, Ask.com and Kosmix. Clearly Microsoft is trying to differentiate itself from the more streamlined results that Google has slowly started to augment with customized results, as we've seen in its recent music search partnerships.
But Microsoft executives stressed they were relying heavily on structured data and not an army of human editors to make those pages.
More impressively, Microsoft also launched a new beta mapping site Wednesday powered by its Adobe-Flash-like Silverlight technology, rather than HTML and JavaScript. It gracefully renders cities in 3-D views using 45-degree aerial photos, paired with traditional satellite and street-based photography. The Silverlight tech makes moving through the city very smooth, losing the jarring changes that are common as you move around various street views in products like Google Maps.
Users can then drop into photosynths — geo-located collections of photos created by users — by dropping their little map onto geo markers, say for example the large collection of photos documenting the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
Additionally, users can quickly see what places are nearby other places on the map. For instance, you could see what restaurants are near the MOMA, see which ones are best-rated on the web, and then zoom in to see the restaurant.
Finally, the new Silverlight-powered mapping site adds "apps" that let people check out newspaper headlines around the world, see roadside attractions across the United States and map local blog posts onto a city. Another app uses Twitter's new geo-location features to see Twitter posts as bubbles on the map.
Microsoft also demoed new features that use Silverlight to browse Facebook photos and popular Twitter users, intending to become a better interface for the never-ending streams of information pouring out of social networks.

Juliet Lyon
Juliet Lyon is director of Prison Reform Trust and secretary general of Penal Reform International
With prison reform firmly on the political agenda there is much still to achieve, but this the right time for me to step down as director of the Prison Reform Trust
Prison service is struggling to cope with reasonable health and social care adjustments for people over 60
Juliet Lyon: The privatisation of prisons raise ethical questions about the role of incarceration in our society
Juliet Lyon: The Ford riot shows warnings over alcohol have been ignored – but we should not question open prisons' role in rehabilitation
Juliet Lyon: The government can not pick and choose which laws it obeys. It must put an end to this archaic punishment of civic death
Juliet Lyon: Most young people in custody have had childhoods marked by neglect and abuse. Locking them up is no solution to offending
Juliet Lyon: Instead of pumping more public money into prisons, we should invest in education, health, and community programmes
Juliet Lyon: Making young offenders confront the consequences of their actions can help them avoid falling into a cycle of crime
Juliet Lyon: The scandal of callous pre-inspection inmate swaps shows that we must never take our eye off what happens in jails
Juliet Lyon: Ronnie Biggs is one of thousands of older people condemned to isolation and humiliation in ill-equipped prisons
Juliet Lyon: The number of sick people being recycled around an impoverished prison system is shaming. Reform is needed now
Juliet Lyon: Ditching Titans was a start, but Jack Straw is still committed to huge spending on prison-building and privatisation
Juliet Lyon: The UK is one of only 12 European countries that still strip prisoners of their voting rights. This must change
Juliet Lyon: The prison service is already sinking under a wave of offenders – and super-prisons would turn employees into US-style guards
Juliet Lyon: In UK prisons, those with mental health problems are doubly punished, since resources to help them are woefully inadequate
Juliet Lyon: Vulnerable people with learning difficulties who commit crime can end up lost in a system they do not understand
Juliet Lyon: Prison conditions may no longer be Dickensian but young mothers are still going to jail for the same reasons they were in Victorian times
Juliet Lyon: Far from toughening up on bail, we should limit the use of jail for people on remand: they are, after all, innocent until proven guilty
Juliet Lyon: The youth crime action plan provides a tentative basis for reform, but fails to recognise how the state has failed young people
Juliet Lyon: Progress towards implementing recommendations on women in prison is too slow: this is as unforgivable as it is inexplicable
Juliet Lyon: Prisoners with mental illnesses suffer neglect and alienation. The Women's Institute is leading a campaign for change
The decision not to raise prisoners' meagre pay works against rehabilitation and contributes to bullying and extortion in jail
If Jack Straw is serious about unclogging the justice system, he needs to recognise that the climate created by politicians is part of the problem
America's penal system is a state of crisis, a new report reveals. So why is Britain in such a rush to emulate it?
We have been paying a high price for a prison system in chaos. Now the government has considerable work to do to rebuild public confidence
Most people agree that prison is an expensive and counter-productive punishment for young offenders - why doesn't the government?
The building of giant new prisons entrenches the use of jails as social dustbins. It will backfire on ministers
Experts keep warning us of the overcrowding crisis in UK jails. Don't switch off - they're right
Instead of meeting violence with violence in young offender institutions, the government must support staff in creating a culture of mutual respect.
Rising prison suicide rates should impel the government to find out why we lock up our most damaged citizens in inadequate institutions.
Prison is our least visible and, arguably, most neglected public service - and after yesterday's illegal strike there are many questions to be answered.
The high court has dealt indeterminate sentences a serious blow today. Now it is time for the government to halt this reckless abuse of judicial process.
We are still waiting for the government to deliver its promised new way forward on crime.
