Microsoft showed today just how serious it is about dominating cloud services, paying companies $150 per seat to switch to its cloud-based Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online and launching a cutting, tongue-in-cheek video ad targeting VMWare's virtualization tools.
Microsoft clearly recognizes that cloud computing is the future. In a company post about the latest campaign, it cited research from Forrester claiming that the global cloud market will rise from $40.7 billion in 2011 to more than $241 billion in 2020.
The $150-per-seat offer is directed straight at Oracle, Salesforce.com, and SAP. Customers of those companies can get $150 per seat from Microsoft to switch. For a sizable customer, that adds up to big money -- $75,000 for 500 seats.

I had Ultherapy in my lower face and neck 3 weeks ago. I still don't see a lot of difference but my major concern is what can I do for the lines at the corner of my mouth ( like an inverted smail) will the Ultherapy help or what should I do for this problem. Thank you Tania of NJ
Ultherapy on Lower Face and Neck 3 Weeks Ago. Don't See a Lot of Difference?
Doctor Answers 9
Ultherapy results takes patience
Thank you for your question. This treatment truly takes 3 to 4 months to see results. The ultrasonic heat is created in the deep tissue which causes tightening and contraction of tissue over time.
Web reference: http://www.sanfranciscocosmetic-surgery.com/ultherapy.html
Ultherapy results will come
Although individuals may start to see early signs of improvement within a few short weeks after treatment with Ultherapy, the effects are gradual, with the most dramatic results typically noticed 3-4 months after the procedure.
You may very well see improvement at the corners of your mouth as your tissue begins to tighten and lift.
If you don't receive the full correction you had hoped for in a few months, you might want to consider a filler or possibly even botox to help create your desired outcome.
Ultherapy results are most noticeable at 6 months after treatment
As your physician should have informed you before doing this procedure, the full results with Ultherapy will be seen at 6 months when collagen production and collagen remodeling is complete.

Ultherapy Results
Thank you for your question. Since you are only 3 weeks post treatment, your final results are not yet evident. Generally, patients may enjoy some initial effect but the ultimate lifting and toning will take place over 2-3 months, as tired collagen is replaced with new, more elastic collagen. As this collagen-building process continues, further improvements can appear up to 6 months following a procedure.
Web reference: http://www.shapiroplasticsurgery.com/surgical-procedures/ulthera.php
Ultherapy on lower face and neck
It takes a minimum of 3 months to start really seeing the stimulation of collagen and skin tightening from Ultherapy. Some patients notice a change earlier, but just because you did not does not mean you not see an improvement. It is hard to say whether it will have a direct effect on the corners of the mouth. That area often requires help with fillers and/or botox.
Ulthera results can take time
You often will see some immediate improvement, but the tissue remodeling goes on for months. I have had patients that come in 4-5 months later not thinking they had much improvement until we show them the before pictures. I would suggest considering Sculptra to further reform the cheek and provide lift. It is a wonderful combination! Also, keep and eye on you skin texture, I think you will notice considerable improvement! I hope this helps!
Ultherapy results can take more than six months and depends on the number of lines and depth of different transducers
You can't unfortunately evaluate the ultherapy treatment as a generalization if it will address the corners of the mouth, as an example. Differenet providers treat patients differently with Ultherapy. the protocol may be different. The number of lines of energy laid down may be different. The number of different transducers and different depths of treatment may be different and the locations treated can vary greatly, especially with newer transducers and newer protocols of treatment. As treatment results may take six months to be realized, you may wish to wait and then seek consultation with your doctor to see what else can be done to make your results better.
Web reference: http://www.thenyac.com/ultherapy/index.html
Ultherapy Results May Vary
Hi Tania, The results of Ultherapy can vary depending on the individual patient's skin elasticity, the number of lines of energy used, and the skill and experience of the technician or physician delivering the treatment. That said, 3 weeks is too early to determine your final result, which won't be fully realized until about 3-4 months after Ultherapy when your own collagen begins to develop. You may see some improvement in the lines in the corner of your mouth, but you may also need a facial filler to provide the result you're seeking. Good luck to you.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Photos' started by Clansters, Jul 13, 2009.
why, what can someone do with it? people see mine all day long
in a photo, not the road! but if you want your wife's tag number on line for us dirty old men to see, ok with me even if it was an october 09 tag!
maybe a national bare your tag day is called for!:eek1
Just a guess....not his SO, not his bike.
i dont understand. what can a photo of a tag be used for in a devious manner?? can it be used somehow for a identity theft scam somehow? can someone use it to frame someone somehow? can they somehow get my address from it and come to my house and see if they can steal my bike out of the garage or rob my house?
I share your skepticism. At the end of the day, my tag is on the bike in public view every day. My name is in the phonebook. Someone wants my tag let them have it - same with my phone number and address (which is also in the phonebook). I know there are folks a lot more paranoid than I but I really don't see the point.
As an information security guy, i can tell you that posting a photo of your tag is significantly safer than registering for one of those discount cards at Walgreens. The databases that use your tag typically only track name, address, vehicle info, taxes, and some link an owner to a warrant database.
Customer cards track name, address, credit card info, and shopping habits such as time of day you shop and everything you buy. The credit cards are bad enough, but you wouuld be amazed at what a person can learn from the rest of the shopping info. People are willing to give up a lot of personal info for a small discount.

There is a thread discussing the plate thing.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking lovastatin and niacin (Advicor)?
You should not take this medication if you are allergic to niacin (Niaspan, Niacor, and others) or lovastatin (Altoprev, Mevacor), if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, or if you have liver disease, severe bleeding, or a stomach ulcer.
To make sure you can safely take lovastatin and niacin, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- history of liver or kidney disease;
- epilepsy or other seizure disorder;
- diabetes;
- gout;
- a thyroid disorder;
- if you drink more than 2 alcoholic beverages daily; or
- if you are switched to this medication from regular niacin, nicotinic acid, or nicotinamide (or vitamin supplements that contain niacin).
In rare cases, lovastatin and niacin can cause a condition that results in the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue, leading to kidney failure. This condition may be more likely to occur in older adults and in people who have kidney disease or poorly controlled hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).
Many drugs should not be used at the same time. Tell your doctor about all other medications you use, especially:
- danazol (Danocrine);
- nefazodone (an antidepressant);
- gemfibrozil (Lopid), fenofibric acid (Fibricor, Trilipix), or fenofibrate (Antara, Fenoglide, Lipofen, Lofibra, Tricor, Triglide);
- an antibiotic such as clarithromycin (Biaxin), erythromycin (E.E.S., EryPed, Ery-Tab, Erythrocin, Pediazole), rifampin (Rifater, Rifadin, Rifamate), or telithromycin (Ketek);
- antifungal medication such as itraconazole (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), miconazole (Oravig), posaconazole (Noxafil), or voriconazole (Vfend);
- heart or blood pressure medication such as nicardipine (Cardene) or quinidine (Quin-G);
- the hepatitis C medications boceprevir (Victrelis) or telaprevir (Incivek);
- HIV/AIDS medication such as atazanavir (Reyataz), delavirdine (Rescriptor), ritonavir (Norvir, Kaletra), and others;
- other medicines that contain niacin (Advicor, Niaspan, Niacor, Slo-Niacin, and others); or
- drugs that weaken your immune system, such as steroids, cancer medicine, or medicines used to prevent organ transplant rejection.
FDA pregnancy category X. This medication can harm an unborn baby or cause birth defects. Do not take lovastatin and niacin if you are pregnant.Stop taking this medication and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant. Use effective birth control to avoid pregnancy while you are taking lovastatin and niacin.
Lovastatin and niacin may pass into breast milk and could harm a nursing baby. Do not breast-feed while you are taking lovastatin and niacin.
How should I take lovastatin and niacin (Advicor)?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Lovastatin and niacin is usually taken at bedtime with a low-fat snack. Do not take lovastatin and niacin on an empty stomach.
Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow it whole.
Niacin can cause dizziness, sweating, chills, redness or tingly feeling, fast or pounding heartbeats, shortness of breath, or feeling like you might pass out. These side effects can be made worse if you drink alcohol or hot beverages shortly after you take lovastatin and niacin.
You may need to stop using lovastatin and niacin for a short time if you have surgery or a medical emergency. If you stop taking the medicine for longer than 7 days in a row, talk with your doctor before restarting the medication.
To be sure this medicine is not causing harmful effects, your blood will need to be tested often. Visit your doctor regularly.
Niacin can raise your blood sugar, and may cause unusual results with certain medical tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using lovastatin and niacin.
Lovastatin and niacin is only part of a complete program of treatment that also includes diet, exercise, and weight control. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

text: so I was reading around on here about head units and remembered when I took my shifter boot out to clean it I found a red and white component cable. It wasn't plugged into the hu and I couldn't find it in the trunk. My question is is this from someone else having a sub in the trunk- I couldn't find any wires in the trunk believe me. Or is it something to do with the oem subs that I read about. I don't think I have one but what does that wire go to?

It's been 12 years since the Agile Manifesto was created, and the majority of developers have jumped on the bandwagon since then. Agile methodologies are now dominating the software development landscape. It has overtaken waterfall as the dominant approach. But in the rush to implement the agile mindset, something has been overlooked: the tester.
The focus on delivering a good product without endless documentation is undoubtedly a positive move for developers. By keeping the needs of the end user in sight at all times, and by creating feedback loops, projects generally deliver better software, faster than before. Given that the agile methodology was conceived by developers for developers, it left the testers in the dark. As a report from Forrester points out, agile teams must invite testers to the table.
Dangerous assumptions
It should be obvious that agile development completely disrupts traditional testing practices, yet many companies have done nothing to update processes or arm testers for the new challenges they are facing.
Imagine a typical scenario on an agile project with a team of five developers and a pair of testers. From the development point of view, five developers can work at a steady, measurable velocity, adding new features to each new build. But that simply isn't true for testers.
At first, testing each sprint is not a problem, because testers have a limited number of features to test. But as the software grows, they have to test new features, verify bug fixes, and perform regression testing. Everything has to be tested within the sprint timeline; the shorter it is, the more rounds of regression testing are needed. Soon, the test team is bogged down and overloaded.
Automated unit tests developed along with the code help to relieve some of the pressure, but the workload for the testers remains high. How can the same two testers cover all the new features while also doing verification and regression testing? The answer is simple: They can't.
A different approach
In order to ensure that the quality remains high, management could scale up the test team significantly as the development progresses, but there is a much more cost-effective solution. Regression testing has to be documented and then automated as you progress. There's no way to write up these test cases or scripts before the code has been delivered.
New-feature testing and bug validation is where you want your testers to focus. You can avoid duplicating work by using the test flow they are capturing as they test to generate test cases that can be used to automate the regression testing for the next build. It's an all-at-once approach that requires testers to be on their toes.
A new tester
For agile testing to work, testers need to adopt the same agile mindset as developers, but ditching the traditional waterfall process for sprints does require some upfront planning.

- - Facts, effects and myths about guns in the USA (http://www.mmaforum.com/lounge/103877-facts-effects-myths-about-guns-usa.html)
Facts, effects and myths about guns in the USA
Also about that gun stuff. I saw a number 60,000 and im not sure what it represents. Here in america the total number of gun related deaths per year are around 30,000 (according to the CDC). But you have to keep in mind that these include all gun related suicides, killing yourself via gun is very popular here in america. In fact it accounts for 17-18,000 of that 30,000 I mentioned. Then you look at the people cops shot(around 400) , accidentally shot (around 700) etc. Basically 12,000 is the number we're left with of people who shoot and kill someone on purpose every year in america.
I'm not sure how well you guys are at gauging risk, but just as a comparison you're 4 times more likely to die in a car wreck than getting shot. Three times more likely to die from being poisoned, twice as likely to die from an "unintentional fall". Some of these might sound about right but how about these two: you're hundreds of times more likely to die from eating fast food or smoking cigarettes than you are from being shot. You don't even have to smoke, you're 4 times more likely to die from second hand smoke than from being shot.
~Lists of the top 10 things that kill men~
So relatively speaking things that are far more likely to kill you in america rather than being shot: fast food, cigarettes, alcohol, second hand smoke, driving a car, poisoning, falling, cancers.... Theres a lot.
Also I'd like to look at the ways that guns are used, when they are used. Are we running around shooting up ez marts and stuff every day or are we using them to save lives and defend ourselves?
Article: 24 out of 25 gun uses are for self defense, and not crime.
Actual numbers:
Post questions, opinions and facts. But link to evidence for your facts etc, no evidence required for opinions :P
The number 60,000 was a combined statistic of 48,000 who are shot intentionally per year but don't die, and 12,000 who are shot and do die in criminal acts.
I am on your side, basically pointing out that even if you take both deaths and non-deaths from guns, you're looking at around .02% of people who own guns using them against other people.
I don't like these kind of statistics. Nobody in this world can diagnose death by cigarette or fast food. It's not like you have to eat fast food to get a heart disease and there are hundreds of causes for cancer. All these numbers are basically fake and all they do is shock people.
I don't really have anything to contribute to the actual discussion.
I drank, smoked and ate terrible food last night. It would be nice if those things weren't bad for me. I'd like to believe they aren't, but its the choice I've made to see the world around me as it truly is rather than how I would like it to be.
I don't care to bring up any statistics fitting my opinion on why guns should be legal but I do enjoy them. Cleaning them, shooting them, showing them to my friends, or just buying ammo for them. I don't shoot nearly as often as I'd like to especially with it being summer(a shotgun sitting on a bench in 106 degree weather gets awfully hot) but I go when I can and try to take as many people along as possible.
One of my favorite things to do is introduce new people to firearms. Nephews, friends' kids, women, etc. Showing someone how to safely care for, maintain, and handle a gun is very rewarding.
I bought my mother a Ruger mini 14 knowing that it would be too much for her at first but now she loves shooting it. Young kids that you take shooting seem to feel a type of responsibility to do a good job because they are being trusted with a dangerous weapon. You tell them how good a job they did when they're done and the smile on their face is priceless:)
I'm rambling and probably have a slight heat stroke from working all day so I'll end it there.
Gun killings on the other hand (counting out the suicides) are inflicted by other people who probably mostly don't need their guns for their living (like rangers, cops etc.).
So while you may have a point concerning the quantity in comparison, but you don't have one concerning the quality.
There are also laws against as you said second hand smoke by designating where you can smoke, still 40,000 deaths a year from it. How about drunk driving?
According to these people: http://dui.lifetips.com/cat/61352/dr...ats/index.html
Around 16,000 die from drunk drivers every year, that's like 30% more than the from guns and it includes innocent families driving home from grandmas house.
The difference is that there are no upsides to all these other ways of death. Where as statistics shows responsible gun owners use these guns to protect themselves and stop crime and that happens 24/25 times. There might be a case for guns to be made illegal if they simply weren't so much more beneficial than dangerous. With guns made illegal there would be more deaths, more crime and few ways to protect yourself.
I'm not arguing for or against banning guns. I just think that the "the more guns are around, the safer it is" argument isn't valid.

Citation: Keller Roberts, M., Lund, L.A., Ford, J.J., Stocco, D.M., Sherman, G.B. 1999. Expression of recombinant white rhinoceros LH using a dual expression vector [abstract]. Biology of Reproduction Abstracts. 60 (Supplement 1):117. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: We now report cloning of a 700 bp cDNA encoding white rhinoceros (wr) glycoprotein hormone alpha subunit (wralpha). Deduced positions of 10 highly conserved half-cystine residues and 2 N-glycosylation sites are in agreement with those reported for other species' alpha subunits. Similarity comparisons with a sequences of other vertebrate species [porcine (92.5%), rat (85.7%), and frog (69.9%)] are consistent with expected phylogenetic relationships. Double expression vector, pDEValphabeta, was constructed to co-express wralpha and wrbeta, and includes the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) minigene for selection of stable clones. Following confirmational sequencing, pDEValphabeta was transfected into DHFR-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO), and conditioned media were collected from confluent cultures of stable clones. Immunoreactive LH-beta was detected in media from 11/36 CHO clones by heterologous RIA using monoclonal antibody 518B7. Values ranged from non-detectable to 12.7 ng/ml. Presence of functional rec-wrLH heterodimer was evaluated by progesterone (P) response of MA-10 Leydig tumor cells to media from 8 clones immuno-positive for LH-beta. Using this LH-specific bioassay, 4 clones stimulated P secretion (1.6 to 4.1-fold above baseline). All 4 cell lines will be subjected to methotrexate-induced transgene amplification to enhance rec-wrLH expression efficiency.

Perhaps some of you professionals have seen this. I've kept one hive as a hobby for over eight years, replacing with nucs as needed every two to three years due to losses for various reasons.
The hive wintered well (upstate NY around Saratoga), but died sometime in February or March. It was too late for me to order from my local supplier (Betterbee), so I thought I'd let it go for a year. Thursday evening, it looked as though the hive was being robbed, I had left some honey frames in and had been too lazy to remove yet. The next afternoon, an entire swarm came in and we got to watch the beautiful sight of bees acclimating themselves to the sun, etc. and doing housecleaning. Today is Sunday, and they're still cleaning away. I've put water out for them and am hoping for the best!
Any comments are welcomed. It was a really cool thing to see.

Figures with no clothes are peculiarly common in the art of the Western world. This situation might seem perfectly natural when one considers how frequent the state of undress is in every human life, from birth to the bath to the boudoir. In art, however, naked figures relate very little to these humble conditions and instead reflect a very complex set of formal ideals, philosophical concerns, and cultural traditions.

This morning, I was reviewing my traffic statistics for the month of October. Based on the data from my Google Analytics account, here were my top, most-read posts. It is interesting that only half of these were new posts written during the month. The remainder came from my archives.
These are arranged in descending order, based on number of page views:
- Should You Consider Self-Publishing? This is the controversial announcement about WestBow Press, Thomas Nelson's new self-publishing or subsidy publishing initiative.
- Literary Agents Who Represent Christian Authors This is the Web's only complete list of literary agents who represent Christians authors. I update it regularly.
- Fix for Wireless Connection Problems on the MacBook Pro This is a fairly technical article I wrote about how to fix a problem that some Mac's have. Evidently, people continue to experience this.
- Creating a Life Plan This is a how-to post that takes you step-by-step through the important process of creating a life plan.
- eBook: Writing a Winning Book Proposal This post simply describes my very popular eBook for new writers. If you are thinking about getting published, this is the place you should start.
- What It Takes to Become a Master Writer This is a guest post from Mary DeMuth. She tells it like it is. This post drew a surprising amount of traffic and comments.
- Five Characteristics of Weak Leaders This is a post I wrote last week about Civil War General George B. McClennan. He was described in the book, Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
- My Take on the Vibram Five Finger Running Shoes This is the post I wrote about those crazy looking, barefoot running shoes that are now all the rage.
- Religion—In the Worst Sense of the Word This is the video about Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, NC. It would indeed be amazing if you could find any grace here.
- Advice to First-Time Authors This is a post that I wrote in response to the scores of emails I received from people wanting to break into publishing. This post represents my best advice for getting started
By the way, as a blogger, this list is a good reminder that you probably have a lot of great content sitting in your archives. However, unless you have a strategy for bringing that to the forefront of your readers' attention, it will basically disappear. I use Twitter to post daily a link to something I have written previously that I think is noteworthy.

Does that exist? :radar: (for the Fountek FR88EX)
I read Fostex drivers "shout" at you. So, I was wondering...
No, i haven't done such a beast. I am just about to release a set of free plans for FR88ex. Amoungst the 5 plans is a 'Ken-Lite -- slightly taller than the uFonken.
I currently have 4 of the 5 designs prototyped & am listening to them in the big system (althou the main thrust of these is as computer speakers -- i have 10 pr of FR88 to use up, and the local computer shop has asked for something a step up from the usual fare). Jon Parkhurst is working on the design we didn't cover -- The Fence Post ML-TL.
I would rank the FF85wk as a decided step up from the Fountek in terms of sonic clarity -- the FR88 has a bit of a coloured midrange, goes lower, althou not as extended at the top. If you want both clarity & bass extension, one of the Alpair6.2, the paper giving a "classic" presentation with a bit of a soft top but the greatest LF extension, the metal giving up a bit of LF but with similar HF to the little Fostex.
For the application they are quite acceptable.
some are certainly more colorful than others, and I have heard one model of Fostex that is almost unlistenable, but there are several models that would give the FR88EX a run for the money - the FF85WK most notably
for that matter in this current price range ( "settled down" to $40 ea), there are any number of 3-4" widebanders by Fostex, Mark Audio, Vifa, TB, Dayton, etc to choose from - I doubt anyone has heard them all
Oh coolies, new designs coming up. :p
Alpair6.2, well, I might consider that if I build a pair of speakers for my mother for next x-mas. :xmastree:
For me, yeah, I'm more into the $40 range. I keep thinking I might want a real small pair of cabinets next to my computer and larger or slightly larger ones...
Just a passing thought though, one thing I'd like to see out of curiosity would be a small horn-like design less than 28cm high.
1 Attachment(s)
One of the designs is a mass-loaded "tapped" conical horn, but it is closer to a metre tall.
Neat little set of cabinets there Dave / Chris. :)
hey, had a couple of hours to spare last week while waiting for the spray booth

Song And McCoy Named USC Credit Union Student-Athletes Of The Week
Oct. 19, 2009
Jennifer Song of the women's golf team and Anthony McCoy of the football team were named the USC Credit Union Student-Athletes of the Week today (Oct. 19) for the week of Oct. 12-18.
The sophomore Song won her second consecutive tournament, overcoming a crowded field at the top of the leader board to post a three-stroke victory at the 2009 Stanford Intercollegiate on Sunday (Oct. 18) at the Stanford (Calif.) G.C. Song finished at -8 with rounds of 67, 71 and 67. Song, whose 205 was the third-lowest round in program history, also won the Mason Rudolph Championship in USC's first event of the year.
The senior tight end McCoy helped lead USC to a 34-27 victory at Notre Dame with five catches for 153 yards. His 153 receiving yards were a USC record for a tight end. He led USC in catches and receiving yards as the Trojans knocked off No. 25 Notre Dame for the eighth consecutive time.

Chico Police union appeals to public on pay
Open letter to citizens takes aim at city manager
CHICO, Calif. - The Chico Police Officers Association took out a full-page ad in Thursday's Chico Enterprise-Record. It was an open letter to the citizens of Chico, explaining why it believes its officers should not face cuts in jobs and pay as the city tries to repair its budget.
Peter Durfee, the president of the Chico Police Officers Association thinks the letter will make a difference.
"Hopefully, the public will talk to the council, come to the council meetings, write letters and send emails," Durfee said. "[We want the public] to let them know that you want to be safe."
The open letter takes aim at City Manager Brian Nakamura, warning of the cuts he made as city manager in Hemet when that city's budget became bloated.
"I think it's been like a wrecking ball," said Durfee of Nakamura's handling of Chico's budget woes. "He's destroyed the town, making it difficult to get people to want to work for us and make it unsafe for citizens and for us on the street."
The letter makes comparisons with other California police departments and notes that Chico police respond to far more calls than Chico firefighters.
Police Chief Kirk Trostle will not speak about the letter itself, going only so far as to say that his 84 sworn officers are worth top dollar.
"What our police officers do for this community is what our citizens don't want to do," said Chico Police Chief Kirk Trostle. "That brings value to our position."
Efforts to hear from Nakamura were unsuccessful, as city employees said he was in meetings through the late afternoon.

/// Apple Stores to Match Discounts on iPhones
August 10, 2012 | All Things Digital
Apple Inc. retail outlets are offering discounts on iPhones to match those offered by wireless carriers and retailers, an unusual move for the gadget maker. The company has begun telling retail employees that they may offer discounts of $49 on the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 4 to customers who cite lower prices from other outlets, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Son: Papa, what did you want to be when you were small?
Papa: I wanted to be a fighter pilot. Some days, I also dreamt of solving the water crisis in the Gulf by becoming a businessman and laying a cross-country water pipeline from Ganges to Saudi Arabia.
Son: So, of all the things, why did you then become an engineer?
Papa: Good question. Every one of my friends was either becoming a doctor or engineer and I did not like to cut rats; so, choose to become an engineer.
Son: But why? Why did you not study to become a pilot or a businessman?
Papa: I really don't know. I guess, I was looking for a sure shot job after my studies that would pay me well, and I can take care of myself and my family.
Son: Didn't grandfather or grandmother tell you what to study to become a pilot or to put the water pipeline?
Papa: Son, no. It was given that I would be an engineer.
Son: Strange. You did not do what you wanted to do. I don't understand this. But tell me, if I want to be a scientist or an inventor, what I have to do?
Papa: Good question. In my view, to be a scientist or an inventor, you should understand a big problem the world faces and solve the problem.
Son: So, that is not Physics, Chemistry, Social studies, right? Why should I study these subjects now?
Papa: Actually, without understanding these subjects, you can't understand some of the stuff scientists or inventors do.
Son: But, I have to just invent some robot that would drive the car or a car itself that runs without any petrol. So, why Social Studies for that?
After this conversation, the father and son visited a store to buy a "DIY robot" which the son assembled. The father also noticed that the son had started googling on the iPAD to learn how to build "robots".
Wondered the father, "Hmm, why I did not pay enough attention to what I wanted in my life, at a young age as my son?"
A voice called from behind, as if it read the father's mind, "It's not too late even now". The father turned back surprised. His parents lived a few 100 miles away, but he was pretty sure he heard his father's voice.

And everyone I know does this. Sometimes, it's best to take a step back and figure out what truly matters — in nearly every aspect of life. The idea of keeping things simple is something that can be applied to any situation, even cloth diapers.

Sarge's seeks transport drivers
Last year, Sarge's Animal Rescue Foundation saved more than 500 dogs via Sarge's interstate transport system, and this year the group is on track to save hundreds more. Typically, Sarge's does a transport every three weeks — leaving Wednesday evenings and returning mid-day on Friday, using two-person teams for the drive.
Sarge's has set records for local adoptions each of the last nine months, but unfortunately, it is not enough to save the lives of all the dogs that need homes in Haywood County. The combination of local adoptions and transport to Northeastern no-kill facilities for adoption has proven highly effective.
The transport committee has two driving teams in place and having one more would create a schedule that would allow each team to travel once every nine weeks.
Those interested in becoming a transport driver, or know people who might be, are asked to call Jim Ray, transport coordinator at 734-8171 or fill-out a volunteer application at www.sargeandfriends.org.

Fleeing Redmond driver caught after canal swim
Police say he refused to pull over
REDMOND, Ore. - A Redmond man who refused to pull over for a minor traffic violation Friday afternoon left his SUV in a parking lot and ran, then tried to avoid officers by swimming in an irrigation canal, but was caught and jailed on numerous charges, police said.
Around 3 p.m., police tried to pull over a gold 2001 Dodge Durango near Southwest Canal Boulevard and Umatilla Avenue for cutting across private property, a violation of a city ordinance, said Lt. Keith Knight.
The driver, later identified as Andrew Lee Burchett, 37, continued south on Canal, and turned into the parking lot of Brookside Place, an assisted living facility, Knight said.
Burchett then ran from the SUV, trying to avoid officers by jumping in the canal, Knight said. But once out of the canal, he was taken into custody without further incident, with the help of Oregon State Police troopers.
Burchett was taken to the Deschutes County Jail in Bend and held on more than $15,000 bail, facing charges of felony and misdemeanor attempt to elude, felon in possession of a restricted weapon, second-degree trespass and two counts of third-degree criminal mischief.
Knight said Redmond police wanted to thank OSP for their assistance in the case.
Anyone with more information that could help police was asked to contact Redmond police at (541) 504-3400 or the non-emergency dispatch number at (541) 693-6911.

Dangerous Lover (Avon Red) (edition 2007)
by Lisa Marie Rice
Work details
Dangerous Lover by Lisa Marie Rice
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Not as hot as I expected and the end was a bit sudden, but nice read.
"3.5 stars" For the second time in a row, I have finished a book and been left waffling over how to rate it, which is very unusual for me. There were things that I liked about Dangerous Lover, but quite frankly, there were also things that I thought could have been greatly improved too. Lisa Marie Rice has a very languid writing style characterized by extended passages of descriptive or introspective prose punctuated by brief snippets of dialog. In my opinion, this gave the story a rather slow and uneven pace, but I wouldn't really characterize it as dull or boring or say that I entirely disliked it. Since this is my first read by Ms. Rice, I can't say if this is her usual writing style or a peculiarity of this book, but my personal preference would have been that there be more dialog especially between the hero and heroine. In spite of being inside their heads almost constantly, I still felt like I was lacking a full and complete understanding of their feelings and motivations. Often I felt like the author was telling me things instead of showing me, and I think that at times it was a bit too wordy and simply didn't get to the point quickly enough for me to grasp it.
To say that Jack was the strong, silent type would probably be an understatement. Although I've already mentioned the general lack of dialog throughout the story, it seemed to me that Jack had the least of anyone. I suppose in some ways this added to the aura of mystery and danger surrounding him, but I still like my heroes to be a tad more talkative. Jack was a tortured hero and a hardened ex-military guy who was an ultra-protective alpha male. What I really liked about him though was that when it came to Caroline, he definitely discovered his softer side and always treated her very gently. However, what impressed me the most was his gentlemanly behavior towards her such as opening doors, pulling out chairs, etc. I may be in the minority, but I love it when a man does these sorts of things for a lady. Jack may have engaged in combat in some of the world's worst hellholes but around Caroline he was never uncouth, right down to watching his language, which I found to be a really neat dichotomy. I also found his frequent kissing of her hand to be a swoon-worthy gesture.
Caroline was an interesting heroine who is extremely kindhearted and trusting of others, but perhaps too much so. She was certainly a tortured heroine and an emotionally strong one to have lived through the deaths of her entire family, but I thought that having all her friends and neighbors basically ignore her because they were uncomfortable with the tragedy was a little overkill. I guess it added to her sense of isolation and vulnerability, but one would think that there would be a few people who would offer up some kind words or support during that difficult time. While I like a heroine who isn't afraid to let the hero take care of her, I also think that ideally she should have a little spunk as well. I thought that her previous on-again, off-again relationship with Sanders, especially when she didn't enjoy the sex and didn't really even seem to like him all that much, made her seem weak and indecisive. I also would have liked to see her defend herself a little better against his unwanted advances. Overall, Caroline was a nice, sweet heroine, but I would have preferred that she exhibit a bit more backbone.
While Dangerous Lover had quite a few romantic moments between Jack and Caroline that I enjoyed, there were also some things about the story that bothered me. I am not usually a fan of the instant "meeting and mating," but I was able to overlook it to some degree in this book since I understood Caroline's loneliness, and she and Jack had a previous connection, even though she wasn't initially aware of it. Nevertheless, I do tend to be a proponent of safe sex especially in contemporary romance, and the lack of it in this book did bug me. Even though Jack was certainly a prepared, plan-ahead kind of guy, I maybe could have lived with neither of them having any condoms available in the middle of a snowstorm, and I probably could have accepted the flimsy reasons for Caroline fortuitously being on birth control. However, when she said, "You look healthy" I couldn't help but roll my eyes and have a WTH moment, since careless assumptions like that in real life would likely end in an STD. Sometimes I can live with the condoms being left behind if there seems to be a decent reason for it, but in this case, I didn't really see any compelling rationale for the author to write it that way. The safe sex argument aside, I also found some of the violence a little off-putting. I'm generally not overly squeamish, but I found the descriptions of the atrocities being committed against the women and children in Sierra Leone to be somewhat disturbing. I think this was probably due to the realism of it and the fact that these things are actually happening on a daily basis rather than just being committed by some fictional, warped, psycho villain. Lastly, there were also quite a number of continuity errors as well as incorrect or incomplete word choices. While these errors weren't totally egregious, they were sometimes distracting and should have been caught by a good editor.
Out of all the reader complaints I've heard about Dangerous Lover so far, the most common one seems to be that many hated the ending. While I'll admit that it was pretty abrupt, I didn't find it to be absolutely terrible. This may have been due to my expectations being lower because of the complaints, so I can definitely see how those who didn't have prior knowledge of a potentially unsatisfying ending might be very disappointed or even upset by the way things wrapped up. It was happy, but certainly left a lot to the reader's imagination. For those who aren't aware, there is something of an epilogue to the story exclusively available online at Just Erotic Romance Reviews, but it doesn't really add anything to the plot of the main novel. The epilogue also isn't written in a story format, but instead, has more of the feel of a timeline documenting all the major events in Jack and Caroline's lives from the end of Dangerous Lover until they both take their final breath on this mortal plane.
Dangerous Lover was marketed as an erotic romance, but the sexual content of the book did not include anything unusual or kinky. In my opinion, the love scenes were pretty vanilla and comparable to hot, steamy mainstream romances, but sensitive readers show know that they are more frequent and do contain explicit language. In a different vein, Dangerous Lover was not marketed as a Christmas romance, but the entire story takes place in four days over the Christmas holiday which might make it an appealing read for that time of the year. In spite of that, I would not necessarily call it a Christmas-themed romance, since none of the traditional trappings or celebrations of the holiday are present in the narrative. Dangerous Lover is the first book in the Dangerous series, followed by Dangerous Secrets and Dangerous Passion which is due to be released this summer. Lisa Marie Rice does not have a website and information on her books elsewhere is spotty, so I am not certain at this time what the character or plot connections between books might be. Even though there were a number of things about Dangerous Lover that I thought could have been better, I still found it to be a worthwhile read that also had a number of appealing elements too. I liked it well enough and have heard enough good things about Lisa Marie Rice that I will undoubtedly read the next book in the series and also try some of her other books, since I already have a few on my TBR pile.
3.5 stars
Jack is an Army Ranger who has been in love with Carolyn since he was a boy who lived at the local shelter where Carolyn volunteered. But she is a rich girl and he is determined to make something of himself. After 12 years, Jack's step-father dies and leaves a fortune so he goes back to see if he can find Carolyn. She has had a rough 12 year. Her parents were killed on Christmas day in a car wreck and her younger brother was severely injured. He dies 2 months before Jack's return. Jack is ready to rescue Carolyn but ends up with some having to protect Carolyn from a man from Jack's past. Good book. Sexy and romantic. The only thing I didn't like was the abrupt ending.
I thought this novel was horrible, and rarely do I think a novel is THAT bad.
The plot wasn't very wholesome, and even though I realize that it's not supposed to be the main focus of the novel, I was very disappointed in the lack of development. Basically, you'd get a little sex scene that wasn't very entertaining in the first place, and then you'd get a page or two on what's actually going around outside of the couple's little Christmas vacation with each other. I didn't think it was entertaining or interesting in the slightest. The ending threw me off as well. It happened so quickly, and it was very anticlimactic.
Overall, this novel was quite disappointing.

When mothers first sprinkle a baby's bald head with water and fertilizers, they can only guess how the ensuing hair will grow. Take control of your own wildly growing follicles with this Groupon.
$79 for a Brazilian Blowout ($300 Value)
The 1.5- to 2-hour Brazilian Blowout process begins with a shampoo and towel dry that preps locks for treatment. Then, a stylist thoroughly combs a straightening solution through frazzled head threads. The special formula mellows out hair's mischievous texture as it soaks into coiffures, arming each cuticle with a protective layer of protein. After a rinse, the hairdresser applies a mask and smoothing serum to secure the blowout's straightening effects and seal the mane's lustrous fate. Brazilian Blowouts can oust frizz on straight, wavy, and curly hair without harming its luxuriant shape, creating silky locks that cascade from scalps like a braidable waterfall.
Some hair-straightening products that claim to be formaldehyde-free include aldehyde compounds, which are similar to the carcinogen formaldehyde. Side effects may include nosebleeds, headaches, vomiting, and respiratory problems, among others. Learn more about the health risks here.

The staff uses color and foiling treatments to breathe new life into locks that have lost their hue to fading or aging. Fusion hair extensions, facial waxing, and makeup services round out the services with beautifying embellishments that put the finishing touches on stylish makeovers.

Celebrate under-valued architecture in London
June 11, 2013 Leave a comment
The Design Museum is holding a free exhibition called Lesser Known Architecture, which is a tie-in to the month long London Festival of Architecture.
The exhibition is a series of single colour offset prints of sites around London that display great architural design, but tend to go unnoticed by the general public.
The ten sites were nominated by leading architecture critics and the prints will be displayed in the museum cafe and tank from 4th June until 22nd July 2013.
The nominations include Crystal Palace Subway, Cabmen's Shelters and Occidental Oil Refinery Jetty.
The installation was curated by Elias Redstone and designed by Ben Mclaughlin. All the photographs for the prints were taken by Theo Simpson.

The streets of San Francisco
San Francisco is rightly famous for it's hills and steep slopes. The city streets go up and down and, and no matter what the gradient, cars will always be parked at the side of the street. Local bylaws state that a parked car on a slope must have the front wheels pointed towards the sidewalk so the car won't roll if the handbrake fails. As you can see, not everyone obeys that particular piece of legislation!
I can't remember what building this was, but I was struck by the sheer lines of it, and the grey gloomy and despondent colour. There are no entrances visible and the building seems to grow out of the hillside as if mocking the gradient of the land by standing tall and straight.
PS. Happy Thanksgiving! It's a normal working day around the rest of the world but the Internet is much quieter now that US visitors are off work, relaxing and enjoying the day!

The wheels were one of the first things I looked at in this pic having spent a summer driving around San Fran. Great city, just wish I had a digital camera back then! I like the scale of the building when compared with the size of the cars.

i think this is the pac bell office/equipment building on pine street between kearny and stockton.

Date of Stay: June, 2012
This is our fourth time here and it has to be one of the nicest, well kept parks we have been in. Clean, quiet and beautiful. This is one of Florida's well kept secrets. Pool, hot tub and many other buildings with a library, weight room and laundry. We live 200 miles South of here and come for 4 day weekends. If you are ever in this area check it out you won't be disappointed. As far as big rigs go, we are 62' long and never had any problems getting in. The manager is a great guy and will do whatever is necessary to make your stay enjoyable. Florida residents get 25% off the regular price.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
A nice little park and nice owners. The park is very hilly and our pull through site was not very level. I would not bring my 5th wheel here. I was surprised to find out you had to pay for a shower. They have 2 restaurants at the bottom of the hill which you can walk to. A lot of nice trees for shade, but tight for big rigs.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
A great park with great managers. A little out of the way of Pigeon Forge but nice and quiet. Beautiful views of the mountains right outside your windows and local stores and shops close by. The only reason it's not a 10 is there is no shade. We loved it there and will go back to see Scott and Rebecca again.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
If you need an overnight camp this one is ok. No one seems to be around on the weekends and the Wi-Fi isn't real good. You need a new password everyday so on the weekends you will have to buy time even though they say free Wi-Fi. Not really shaded and level.
Date of Stay: April, 2011
A small campground pretty crowded but nice. The only major downfall I saw was there is little shade. The office people were friendly to us and the grounds were nicely kept. It's not the worst campground we have been in and not the best. Close to everything and quiet. Some permanent sites but they did not bother us.
