This article originally appeared as a guest post in Multichannel Merchant.
Singles Day 2015 recently came and went, and more than a few Western retailers are surely envious at how Chinese companies fared during the November 11 sales event—the biggest online shopping day of the year.
Indeed, the scale of this e-commerce sales event is something Western shoppers barely understand. Remember the crazed bonanza of last year's Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales? Those days generated $4 billion for U.S. retailers.
In contrast, more than $1 billion worth of products were sold on Singles Day 2015's first eight minutes. About an hour after that, sales had risen to $5 billion.
When the dust settled, Singles Days sales eclipsed $14.3 billion. This statistic solely represents sales generated at online marketplaces owned by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. It doesn't include the additional billions generated at competing sites, like JD.com.
What's fueling this astonishing shop-a-thon? Deeply-discounted deals. On Singles Day, prices drop by 50% or more, for products ranging from digital devices to diapers. Alibaba-owned sites such as Tmall.com receive the lion's share of these sales.
Last year, these virtual malls generated $9.3 billion in Singles Day-related sales, a 60% increase over 2013. This year's $14+ billion windfall represented another 60% year-over-year increase.
The shopping holiday isn't just for Chinese companies anymore. Savvy Western brands are getting wise, and getting a piece of the action.
Indeed, more than 15,000 global companies participated in Singles Day 2015; many of them launched stores on sites like Tmall for the occasion. Iconic brands such as Macy's, Estée Lauder, Nike, Apple, P&G, Unilever, and others were on display. European companies also participated, including Spanish apparel retailer Zara, luxury retailer Burberry and many more.
Interestingly, not all Western brands sell their goods in virtual malls. Many launch localized, branded e-commerce websites for the Chinese market.
Several of these companies are MotionPoint clients. Based on our analysis, these sites also benefit greatly from being in-market on Singles Day. We noted these, and other, significant increases on Nov. 11, compared to the YTD average:
Our in-depth knowledge of the Chinese market suggests that several key product sectors will grow exponentially in upcoming Singles Days. One is the "mother & baby" product category.
Since China rescinded its "one-child rule" (which now permits families to have two children legally), expect a resulting surge in maternity and childcare sales, especially among Western-branded products. Chinese consumers prefer Western brands; in fact, Kimberly-Clark's Huggies products were a top-seller during last year's Singles Day. This preference provides a compelling opportunity for child apparel, childcare and related companies to serve the Chinese market.
In fact, it might take pressure off other brands. Australians are currently experiencing a Singles Day-related shortage, since millions of Chinese consumers purchased an Aussie-made formula at discounted prices.
Western brands might be seeing a lift from Chinese shoppers, but retailers that are trying to generate interest in the U.S. for Singles Day aren't seeing much traction.
Despite stateside support from such retail powerhouses as Walmart, American consumers aren't engaging. U.S. Singles Day sales increased 14% from 2014 to 2015, but still generated only $1.4 billion. That's far below the $3 billion analysts project America's homegrown online-exclusive event, Cyber Monday, will deliver this year.
We operate a localized Chinese website for one U.S.-based retailer that participated in this year's Singles Day. Our data suggests the site's promotions generated a relative increase in U.S. interest and sales, but they couldn't compare to the impact we saw on sites in the China mainland market.
Another retail site we operate in Spanish also promoted Singles Day sales to U.S. Hispanics, but this site didn't see a measurable increase in sales at all. This suggests Singles Day may be a uniquely Chinese e-commerce event, resonating with bargain hunters from some cultures far more than others.
As widespread as it may seem, Singles Day isn't a formal holiday. Its roots hail back to 1990s Chinese university campuses, where it was celebrated as a kind of anti-Valentine's Day. In 2009, Alibaba branded the day as "Double 11," encouraging singles to splurge on discounted items. The rest is a marketing success story.
Indeed, this year, Chinese anticipation reached a fever pitch well before Nov. 11. The hashtag #Double11# had trended on Chinese social network Weibo for more than a month, generating billions of impressions.
According to Alibaba, 80% of all Chinese online shoppers participated in Singles Day, generating about 120,000 of orders each minute. Nearly 70% of sales were made on mobile devices, compared to around 40% in 2014.
And while Singles Day's total sales—$14.3 billion—is certainly worthy of awe, it still represents a mere fraction China's online buying power. Last year, Chinese consumers spent more than $450 billion online. That figure will grow to $1 trillion by 2018.

A branchial cleft abnormality is a mass of abnormally formed tissues within the neck. These tissues may form pockets called cysts that contain fluid, or they may form passages that drain to an opening in the skin surface. Branchial cleft abnormalities are usually located near the front edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, which is the neck muscle that extends from the jawbone (mastoid) to the clavicle (collarbone) and sternum (breastbone). Different types of branchial cleft abnormalities include the following:
Branchial cysts are more common in older adolescents and adults, especially males, while branchial fistulas are more commonly seen in young infants.
A branchial cleft abnormality is a congenital (present from birth) defect that occurs during early embryonic development when the structures and tissues that form the neck and throat do not properly grow together. The tissues form pockets and pathways that contain cells from other parts of the neck and throat. Branchial cleft cysts are lined with skin and lymph cells and contain fluid that is secreted by these cells. Branchial cleft fistulas also contain skin cells but drain mucus and fluids from other internal areas of the neck and throat.
Branchial cleft abnormalities are usually small, but can enlarge enough to cause difficulty swallowing and breathing. The following are the most common symptoms of a branchial cleft abnormality. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of a branchial cleft abnormality may resemble other neck abnormalities or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Branchial cleft abnormalities are diagnosed by physical examination. Generally, the specific location of the mass or the fistula opening on the skin can help in the diagnosis. A branchial cleft cyst may not be noticed unless it becomes infected and is painful. The skin opening of a branchial cleft fistula drains mucus, and often pulls back into the skin with swallowing movement.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for a branchial cleft abnormality may include the following:
Specific treatment of a branchial cleft abnormality will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Treatment may include surgery to remove the mass. A small percentage of branchial cysts may regrow.

The new Version made it on to the Marketplace : )
Thanks for your input and your support ….
Thank you for your comments
on second thought the colordecision for red might not have been the best choice for an application-template. i just changed this and gave it a second try…
wish me luck!
As a longtime GR contributor i'm shocked that i got my first hard rejection for this contribution:
I know that it is very clean and minimalistic, but thats the whole point of this design: a clear, multifunctional resume template without the icon-and pseudographics-mayhem. But maybe i'm a bit biased… so any suggestions for improvement are welcome
So well deserved, mate!!!
Congratulations …. Very well deserved!
Hi everyone,
since i finally also got hit by the "sale-reversal-virus", i've been looking for a solution to this problem. And to be precise not for the problem itself ( i think envato has here the obligation to fight this problem as hard as they can – including the negotiation with the paymentproviders), but for the consequences of – in the worstcase – loosing money you have already spent.
So i came up with this: Why not introducing an sale-reversal-insurance-option to the marketplace? Authors could choose to opt-in voluntary and would pay for it with let's say half a percent-point (this is just a placeholder number- maybe it's even less – it depends on the amount money thats lost through fraud in marketplace) of their Payment rate. Envato puts in another half percent from their piece of the cake and in the end their is a war chest of 1% to cover those losses or pay a real insurance company to cover these (maybe envato already has an insurance against payment default?)
This would spread the risk to more shoulders and would also accommodate the fact that big marketplace players with a bigger portfolio have a a higher reversal risk and therefore pay a bigger share to the chest than small players.
as i said: just an idea… maybe i didn't think through every angle of this.
So whats your opinion? is there a better way to deal with this?
ok… 6 days now for an update!? Maybe someone from staff could give us a hint what is or isn't happening?
it's getting really annoying: first 4 days in regular queue, now again 4 days in the update queue after a soft rejection concerning the change of one little word in the filedescription. i can remember times when the updatereview was done within one hour! i hope we'll get back there soon…
Just hit the 3000 mark! ; )
I'm happy and thankful as can be to be a proud member of this wonderful community.
Thanks to all my fellow authors and clients for their great support.
See you at the 4.000 mark!
Nice blogs everywhere and here's mine:http://design-on-purchase.com

Global Social Technographics Update 2011: US And EU Mature, Emerging Markets Show Lots Of Activity
Posted by Gina Fleming on January 4, 2012
Last month George Colony, CEO of Forrester, talked about a "Social Thunderstorm" at the LeWeb conference in Paris. He argued that social is running out of hours and running out of people. What does that mean? Well, the second one is easy: The vast majority of consumers around the world who have access to a computer use social media. And the first one? George goes on to say that Americans are spending more time on social media than volunteering, praying, talking on the phone, emailing, or even exercising.
With so many people spending so much time on social media, it is crucial for companies to understand how their customers use social media. We just released our newest report, Social Media Adoption In 2011, which reveals the latest trends.
The report illustrates how consumers are using social media by applying our Social Technographics® global classification system. The graphic below illustrates this framework. We classify consumers into seven groups based on online activities, and consumers can fall into several different groups. Only Inactives are an exclusive group.
In the six years that Forrester has been collecting Social Technographics data, a lot has changed in the world of social media. Social networking has morphed into a global phenomenon. Today, 86% of online US adults and 79% of European online adults engage with social media. And consumers in emerging markets are also on social media — not just catching up. In fact, they lead the world in social media usage and engagement.
Comparing social behaviors in the US and Europe, we see that the majority of online Americans and Europeans are Spectators — meaning they consume social media content but do not necessarily create it. In fact, less than one-quarter of these consumers are Creators — the individuals who generate social content. We also found that while Americans and Europeans take a more passive approach to social media, this is different in emerging markets. For instance, more than two-thirds of online adults in metro China and India create social content. The message is clear: Companies can't afford to take a "one-size-fits-all" approach with social media.
Clients can read Social Media Adoption In 2011 to understand how social media behaviors vary around the globe and what they should do about it. Forewarned is forearmed.
The Collective Brain
Comment from Aaron Eden (not verified) on Thu, 01/05/2012 - 05:19
I believe that social media will break down barriers and we'll see more people from different parts of the world participate in this collective discussion on what matters to them the most. Asia is catching up and I'm excited to see China break down its wall and join with everyone else as we build conversations and relationships on the Social Web. Besides, social media is not really about the 'media' - but all about human relationships and this is why it's constantly evolving. Social media is a powerful tool when used right and as more tools are created, we may just see a convergence with predictive analytics to help businesses/brands create effective plans and make better business decisions. Cheers and More Success this 2012!

Home ⋅ Unique Baby Shower Invitations ⋅ Laura's Picks ⋅ Orange ⋅ Yellow
"I was worried about ordering invitations online. I like that TinyPrints offered a review for free. I ordered a pretty basic invitation, without any of the extra options, but I was happy with the quality. The invitations looked much more polished than cheap write-in invites, for a comparable price. I like that the design was gender-neutral, but still cheery and not boring. I will use TinyPrints next time I need invitations."
"Adorable invitation. I made the overall text black to stand out more. I BOLDED the Mommy to Bee's name to stand out. I added more text to the invitation that didn't seem to fit. After doing so, I called Cust. Service and they shifted the text upward to make all fit nicely then placed my order verbally over the phone. I even increased the font on the overall text a bit larger - this came out so nice! Customer service was wonderful! I used the Designer review and worked with Paul who helped create this adorable invitation and matching Thank you notes. I even received a hand written thank you note from Paul thanking me for the business. I would use TinyPrints again!"
"Because the text is completely customizable, I used this card for my daughter's 2nd birthday party invitation. I am not a huge fan of character parties, but she loves Winnie the Pooh so she is having a Classic Pooh inspired party. All of the Winnie the Pooh invitations I found were too cutesy for my taste. This card was perfect. I used the Tiny Prints designer review service, and the designer was quite helpful. Everything was completed very quickly, and I love how it turned out."
"I have two nieces (sisters) that are expecting within a couple of months of the other, so decided for the benefit of the guests (90% would have been invited to both showers) to do a joint shower. I was worried that creating an invitation would be tricky, but this was perfect. Both Moms-to-be were thrilled! The envelope option was a bonus."
"Awesome invitations and I liked that I was able to change the fonts and wording a bit to fit our event. Very happy with the quality of the product and also with the customer service department when I called in. Will definitely recommend to family and friends."

Gun Control Bill Passes in Maryland House of Delegates
Delegate Galen Clagett (D), of
The clock ticked away and cups of coffee lined desks for a seven-hour heated debate on gun control.
Tempers flared as opponents and the committee handling the bill presented several dozen amendments.
One of them would have allowed military members under 21 to have certain types of rifles.
"That's offensive. It's offensive the way we treat our military, people that we ask to go fight overseas, die, we give them important responsibilities and then they come back to this country, and they can't even use the weapons they want to use to go to ranges and stuff like that," says Del. Michael Hough, (R) - Frederick & Washington Counties.
Clagett thinks the gun control bill is a matter of safety. It would ban assault weapons, limit magazines to 10 bullets, and require owners to get a license.
"I've been a hunter since I was 12 years old," Clagett says. "I own lots of guns. I still hunt, and it's a passion for me, but preventing violence is also a passion for me."
Delegate Neil Parrott, chairman of MDpetitions.com, got several referendums on the ballot last year. He says he's considering organizing another petition drive against the gun control bill.
"One of the things that I find most hideous in the bill is that to say that you have to have a license in order to have a firearm, but you don't license what is a right given to us in the bill of rights," says Parrott, (R) - Washington County.
not unusual for the Constitution to have constraints on our rights. We're not
taking them. We're trying to control and direct them," Clagett says.
The bill the Maryland House passed is different from the Maryland Senate version, so it must go back to the senate for a vote.
If the senate doesn't agree on the house bill, both bills will need to go to a conference room.

UPDATE 2-LMI Aerospace Q1 results top Street, shares up
* Q1 EPS ex-items 37 cents vs 28 cents est
* Q1 net sales $64 mln vs $61.3 mln est
* Backs prior segment outlook
* Shares up 33 pct
(Recasts, adds analyst comments, share movement
May 8 (Reuters) - LMI Aerospace Inc (LMIA.O: Cotización), which makes parts for the aerospace and defense industries, posted better-than-expected quarterly profit, boosted by sales at its aerostructures segment, sending its shares up 33 percent.
"The beat is not surprising as expectations for the stock have plummeted throughout 2009, given macroeconomic headwinds, the downturn in aerospace and management's lowering of expectations," Jesup & Lamont analyst Alex Hamilton said in a note.
However, the analyst, who rates the stock "hold," said despite the successful quarter LMI will struggle throughout 2009 and 2010.
"The market environment is still challenging and we are working to cover anticipated future production rate cuts in 2010 with new program awards," Chief Executive Ronald Saks said in a statement. Continuación...

volatile (C# Reference)
The volatile keyword indicates that a field might be modified by multiple concurrently executing threads. Fields that are declared volatile are not subject to compiler optimizations that assume access by a single thread. This ensures that the most up-to-date value is present in the field at all times.
The volatile modifier is usually used for a field that is accessed by multiple threads without using the lock Statement (C# Reference) statement to serialize access. See How to: Create and Terminate Threads (C# Programming Guide) for an example of volatile in a multi-threaded scenario.
The volatile keyword can be applied to fields of these types:
Reference types.
Pointer types (in an unsafe context). Note that while the pointer itself can be volatile, the object that it points to cannot. In other words, you cannot declare a "pointer to volatile."
Integral types such as sbyte, byte, short, ushort, int, uint, char, float, and bool.
An enum type with an integral base type.
Generic type parameters known to be reference types.
The volatile keyword can only be applied to fields of a class or struct. Local variables cannot be declared volatile.
The following example shows how to declare a public field variable as volatile.
// csharp_volatile.cs // compile with: /target:library class Test { public volatile int i; Test(int _i) { i = _i; } }
For more information, see the following sections in the C# Language Specification:

Beverly took the time to explain to me the reasons why curly hair acts the way that it does and shared with me tips on how to better handle my curly hair. She even gave me a few clippies so that I could go home and attempt doing to my hair what she so expertly did which looked awesome!

Well guys I need some information.
I know they make a .22lr conversion but it includes a whole new slide assembly.
I am wondering if it is possible to change G23 from a .40 to a 9mm.
Is it possible?
If so is it as simple as fitting a new barrel and mag?
Just curious

The former 'Friends' star - who has previously spoken of her desire to become a mother - says women can get pregnant and raise a child without the help of a boyfriend or husband because there are so many options available to them.
The 41-year-old actress - who plays a woman who gets pregnant using a "turkey baster" in new movie 'The Switch' - said: "Women are realising it more and more knowing that they don't have to settle with a man just to have that child. Times have changed and that is also what is amazing is that we do have so many options these days, as opposed to our parents' days when you can't have children because you have waited too long."
Jennifer - who was once married to Brad Pitt - insists raising a child without a father is not always a bad thing.
Speaking at a press conference for 'The Switch', she said: "The point of the movie is what is it that defines family? It isn't necessarily the traditional mother, father, two children and a dog named Spot. Love is love and family is what is around you and who is in your immediate sphere. That is what I love about this movie ('The Switch'). It is saying it is not the traditional sort of stereotype of what we have been taught as a society of what family is."
Jennifer also revealed she still wants to have a family, saying:
"Yeah, I have said it years before and I still say it today."

Pomegranate and açai berry juice, move over. Beetroot juice is already touted as a health tonic for enhancing sexual function and digestion, sharpening brain power, and increasing energy, and now UK researchers claim it helps elderly people live more active lives.
Announced December 17, a new study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that drinking about 500ml (a little over 2 cups) a day of beetroot juice can reduce oxygen re-uptake and make low-intensity activities, such as walking, less exhausting for seniors, especially those with heart and breathing problems.
A study released this summer in the UK also revealed that beetroot juice enhanced performance in endurance athletes while lowering resting blood pressure. Researchers claimed that beetroot juice could help increase exercise time by 16 percent and in ways that couldn't be achieved by training.
The performance boost, researchers say, is due to the high levels of nitrates in beetroot juice. While it's not clear how it works, they suspect that when nitrate turns into nitric oxide in the body, it reduces the amount of oxygen required to perform exercise. High concentrations of nitrates are also found in celery, cabbage, and other leafy green vegetables such as spinach and some lettuce.
UK juice company James White, who provided the beet juice for the latest study, sells a bottled beet juice called Beet It that is 90 percent organic beet juice and 10 percent apple juice, which the company claims smoothes "over the slightly earthy aftertaste of beetroot juice on its own." A US manufacturer is Biotta Juices, which sells a bottled 100 percent fermented beet juice. Wake Forest University in the US is working with a company to create a new beet juice beverage that they claim will be tasty, and they hope to bring the product to market soon.
For at-home juicers, even hardcore health aficionados urge to never drink beet juice without a mixer, such as with other vegetables or apple juice, and to not overdo it. Pure beet juice (from the bulb or greens) could temporarily paralyze your vocal chords, make you break out in hives, increase your heart rate, or cause chills or a fever. So juice with caution.

How to remove threaded plugs
I want to remove the threaded plugs in the back of a Chevy 350 (oil galie plugs).Should I heat them up?There really in their tite,dont want to round off the head.
They're known as NPT (National Pipe Thread). It's a tapered thread so it's less likely to leak OR back out. Yes, TIGHT.
Use an acetyline torch (propane or butane is not "hot" enough). Heat the plug (NOT the block) until it glows. Allow it to "cool" just until the glow disappears. Hit it with some parafin (canning wax works really well). Use a 1/4" drive ratchet to remove them. If you get to them while they're still cooling (hot to the touch, so don't burn yourself), they'll come right out.
If for some reason, you DO "round" one, drill all the way though the plug with a 3/8" drill. Using a LARGE "EZ-Out", heat it again, hit it with the wax again and insert the EZ-Out and it should come out much easier.
BTW, they are "galleries", as in a shooting gallery or art gallery. A galley is a kitchen on a ship... (:-
The easiest, fastest way I have found is with a impact driver for use with a big hammer. You have to get the right square drive tool for the factory plug. I got mine from SnapOn 20+ years ago. Hit the driver with a 4lb hammer a few times and they will back right out.
Thanks,Ill do that.

South Sudan
Child Hunger and Famine Relief Fund
Famine has now been declared in parts of South Sudan. Children are already dying at an alarming rate, and more than 1 million girls and boys are on the brink of starvation.
A lethal combination of conflict and mass displacement has created a critical food shortage across the nation, and three years of brutal war have left a population with no way to cope. The situation is made even worse by the spread of cholera and major economic collapse.
Save the Children is on the ground, doing whatever it takes to provide lifesaving support to children most at risk. But we can't do it alone.
"There is still time to save countless lives," says Country Director Pete Walsh, "but only if we act now." Please help save South Sudan's starving children.
About South Sudan
Children in the world's youngest nation are enduring a deepening crisis. Since the outbreak of fighting in December 2013, humanitarian needs in South Sudan have escalated to alarming levels.

Second thoughts on the crowd
April, 4, 2009
DETROIT -- It will be interesting to see how empty Ford Field gets after Michigan State fans leave to celebrate the Spartans' 82-73 victory over Connecticut in the first national semifinal game of the 2009 Final Four.
There are only a couple of thousand Villanova fans here sitting behind the Wildcats' bench. UNC fans typically travel very well, and several hundred Tar Heels fans are seated across the court from the UNC bench. Carolina blue T-shirts are also scattered across the "arena."
But I'm guessing neither team will have a home-court advantage like Michigan State had in the first game.

Help me choose between these 2 328i's
Hi, Vitchie here from South Africa.
I ordered the M Sport and its arriving 31 Jan at the dealership, but now there is a spanner in the works, a fully loaded 328 is available at the used section that I can have by Saturday or Monday.
Used: 2012 Model, 4000km, Alpine white, Black leather, Sportline, Xenon, Sport Auto Gearbox, 18, Std Suspension (I think), Std brakes, PDC Front & reat with cam, std sound, sunroof, Pro NAV, Heads up Display, speed limit info, connected drive, electric towbar, + 1 very pissed of sales lady as I already signed offer to purchase.
My order: 2013 Model. 0km, Mineral Grey, Coral Red leather, M Sport, Xenon, Sport auto Gearbox, 18, M Sport Suspension, 4 pot M brakes, PDC Rear, std sound, no sunroof.
The used one will be R5k more than my new one, but keep in mind its a 2012.
Check the attached specs, mine before discount comes to R512k, where the other one comes to R579k, so the used one has R67k worth of extras over mine. After discount it is R475k (new) R480k (used).
What do you guys think? I went to see the sales lady and told her about this car to push for a courtesy car in the meantime while I wait for the new one, but Im sure I can back out of the deal if I need to?

Euromus (Greek: Εὔρωμος) – also, Eunomus and Eunomos; earlier Kyromus and Hyromus – was an ancient city in Caria, Anatolia; the ruins are approximately 4 km southeast of Selimiye and 12 km northwest of Milas (the ancient Mylasa), Muğla Province, Turkey. Probably dating from the 6th century BC, [1] Euromus was a member of the Chrysaorian League during Seleucid times. Euromus also minted its own coins from the 2nd century BC to the 2nd century AD.
The ruins contain numerous interesting buildings, the most outstanding of which is the temple of Zeus Lepsinos from the reign of Emperor Hadrian. [2] Archaeologists have found terra cotta shards indicating that the temple site had its origins back at least to the 6th century BC. The temple is one of the best preserved classical temples in Turkey: sixteen columns remain standing and most of the columns are inscribed in honour of the citizen who commissioned their construction. Carian rock-cut tombs are also found at Euromus.

HA fillers, in the United Stated sold as Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm have completely replaced Collagen. Allergan, which sells Juvederm and sold Collagen, has stopped production of Collagen. With the introduction of HA fillers, the demand for Collagen evaporated.
HA filler are softer, more compliant and last longer. It's ease of use is about the same as Collagen. Collagen was better for stubborn fine lines at the margins of the lips, but it lasted only 3 months (or less) time. HA's last twice as long, and are better for kissing. Not only do my patients tell me this, but their partners have too.
I have a series of articles on my blog regarding lip enhancement, including fillers and the alterantives. I link to the HA filler page is supplied below.

The Bunn NHBX Coffee Brewer is a great, simple machine that's perfect for stress-free use in your kitchen. With a brewing time of only 3 minutes for 10 cups of hot, fresh coffee, the NHBX can meet the demands of households of any size. It's also perfect for people on the go because of the machine's pourover design that always has hot water ready for brewing. Operation is also easy: just pour water into the resevoir, place the glass decanter on the porcelain coated warming plate, and close the lid to begin the brewing process. No mess, no fuss.
Pourover Design - Pourover coffee makers are hailed for their efficient brewing design. After the initial set up of the NHBX brewer, you can leave it on all the time, meaning there is always hot water waiting in the boiler. When you pour a carafe of fresh water into the reservoir, it forces the already-heated water out of the boiler and up to the filter where it is infused with your coffee grounds. The result? Up to 10 cups of delicious, hot coffee poured into your waiting glass carafe in just 3 minutes.
Patented Sprayhead Design - Bunn coffee makers are known for getting a café-quality extraction from your coffee grounds. This is achieved by evenly dispersing water across the surface area of your grounds in the filter, so unlike many coffee makers, small pockets of coffee are not over-extracted.
Stainless Steel Boiler - The heavy-duty stainless steel boiler in the NHBX keeps water at optimum brewing temperature of 200o all day, every day, as long as it's plugged in. An internal thermometer monitors this temperature, so you'll never have to worry about cold coffee.
Vacation Switch - The NHBX will be ready for action 24/7 unless you flip the Vacation Switch located near the back of the coffee maker. This is recommended whenever you're going to be away from the machine for 3 days or more, and will turn of all of its electrical components. When you return, you just need to flip the switch back and follow the simple instructions to re-start the machine for day-to-day use.
Large Glass Carafe - This Bunn coffee maker has a large glass carafe with a 50 oz, or 10-cup capacity, perfect for households with multiple coffee drinkers or for brewing coffee for intimate gatherings and dinner parties. You can monitor your coffee levels using the volume markings on the side of the carafe and avoid spills when pouring because of its specially designed spout.
Warming Plate - You can turn the warming plate on and off using a switch on the top front of the NHBX, just below the Bunn logo. The porcelain-coated heating plate on the NHBX is scratch resistant and provides even heating of the bottom of the glass carafe. It is also easy to clean using a soft cloth and non-abrasive detergent.
Deliming Spring - It is recommended that you use filtered water with your Bunn coffee maker, but it's almost impossible to avoid hard water build up. The deliming spring can be easily inserted into the sprayhead tube to remove any of this build up, providing a more efficient brewing process and better coffee taste.
Filter Compatibility - The NHBX is compatible with Bunn's oxygen-treated paper filters that are specially designed for use with Bunn machines. Use of any other filter can result in overflow or less-than-optimal extraction.
Accessories - The Bunn NHBX Coffee Brewer comes with a pack of Bunn paper filters, an easy-to-follow user's manual, and a deliming spring.

Following the recent announcement that Alessandro Ballan will be one of the BMC Racing Team leaders at the Santos Tour Down Under, another former world road race champion has been confirmed for the WorldTour event. Three time rainbow jersey victor Oscar Freire will lead the Russian Katusha team in the race, which will begin on January 15th.
He will be joined by Maxim Belkov, Giampaolo Caruso, Xavier Florencio, Luca Paolini, Gatis Smukulis and Eduard Vorganov.
"Spaniard Oscar Freire has accomplished what only legends like Alfredo Binda, Eddy Merckx and Rik Van Steenbergen have been able to do: win three road race world championships," said race director Mike Turtur, referring to his victories in 1999, 2001 and 2004. "His other impressive results include winning the Milan - San Remo three times as well as several Grand Tour stages.
"In addition, Freire is a four time Tour de France stage winner, a winner of the Tour de France Green Jersey (2008) and a winner of seven stages of Vuelta a Espana."
The Spaniard had a somewhat quiet 2011 season but is determined to go out on top, hitting top form again in what will be his final pro season before retirement. The Olympics and the world championship road race are two big targets for him, but taking a victory early on in the season will also be on his wish-list, particularly as it will boost his morale.
Turtur recognises him as one of the big draws for the 2012 event. "Oscar is one of the most impressive riders of the last decade and it will be really exciting for fans to see him take to the start line and for him to bring his competitive edge to the race," he said.
Of the team, several have previous experience of the race. The Spaniard Xavier Florencio and the Russian Eduard Vorganov finished seventh overall in 2003 and 2010 respectively, while Giampaolo Caruso took the fifth stage in 2003.
Rabobank, BMC Racing Team and Sky Procycling have already been confirmed for the race. Edvald Boasson Hagen will lead the latter and with his fast finish, the prospect of big sprints against Freire is a very real possibility.
In addition, the blend of fast, flat stages plus one uphill finish could see both finish very high up the final general classification.
Katusha for Santos Tour Down Under (January 15 – 22):
Oscar Freire (Spain), Maxim Belkov, Eduard Vorganov (Russia), Giampaolo Caruso, Luca Poalini (Italy), Xavier Florencio (Spain), Gatis Smukulis (Latvia).

Hatcher gets the call
SARASOTA -- From talking with Jerry Narron around noon today, I got the feeling Billy Hatcher was the choice for the first base coaching job. And now it's official. Hatcher replaces John Moses, who resigned last week, and is expected to be in uniform tomorrow.
The former Reds outfielder spent the last eight seasons on the Devil Rays' staff, including stints as the first base coach (1998-99, 2003-05), third base coach (2000) and bench coach (2001-02). Before that, Hatcher spent two seasons with Tampa Bay as a minor league instructor.

Is scandalous sexpot Razan Moghrabi making another X-rated video?
Razan will be starring in a music video with a mystery international star
Scandalous star Razan Moghrabi nearly fell from fame when a video emerged of the once family-friendly TV host making obscene gestures with a male friend. But after a two-year hiatus, the diva was back and as bitchy as ever when she returned to our screens earlier this year.
Now it looks like the star could be set to stir up some scandal on the international stage as news has emerged that she will be releasing a music video with a mysterious world-famous celeb.
While Razan has refused to reveal the star's identity, rumor has it that the mystery musician is none other than Columbian-Lebanese sexpot Shakira.
Although Razan's lips are sealed, it seems her wallet is wide open as she has already forked out for new clothes and accessories for the video.
With Razan's history, fans fear that her latest video offering could be as X-rated as the last.

How's the search going Roadrunner, any luck yet? I think for long term durability and high volume shooting the Combat Commander would (and should ) last longer but for daily carry and casual shooting at the range the LWT should serve you well.
If I could offer one suggestion: You might want to use mags with plastic/teflon followers such as Wilson Combat or Metalform with the LWT frame. There have been scattered reports of metal mag followers leaving dings in feedramps. Never hurts to be cautious, right?
Good luck!

Yes he did. That knee is scaring the heck out of me.

His 3.5 pitches per plate appearance has lowered too. Bottom ten in baseball I believe.
Beltran singles to center.
4-6-3 DP. Nice play by Phillips.
DatDudeDP the good way.
Crap. Molina homers to left center. Tie game 2-2.
Yadier Molina is literally the worst person in the world.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Keeping booing Molina crowd - you're feeding the dude!
Has to be brutal to pitch in Cincinnati.
What an absolute garbage HR.

HomeAgain Microchips:
* Do not hurt your pet
* Do not require surgery
* Do not wear out
FICTION : Having a microchip implanted will hurt my pet. (NOT TRUE!)
FACT :The microchip comes preloaded in a sterile applicator and is injected under the loose skin between the shoulder blades. The process takes only a few seconds, and your pet will not react any more than he would to a vaccination.
FICTION : My dog or cat needs surgery to implant the chip. (NOT TRUE!)
FACT:No anesthetic (surgery) is required for a microchip implant. The procedure is performed at your veterinarian's office and is simple and similar to administering a vaccine or a routine shot.
FICTION: I need to microchip my pet more than once. (NOT TRUE!)
FACT:A microchip will normally last the lifetime of your pet because it is composed of biocompatible materials that will not degenerate over time. There are no moving parts and nothing can wear out that would need to be replaced.

Our studio is highly respected in the dance community.
We network with studios and professional dance
educators all over the country. Our programs have
been highlighted in professional dance journals.
We are committed to age appropriate music, costuming and choreography.
Our combo classes were developed based on a strong dance curriculum that provides the dancer with an excellent education and less expense to the parent.
We work very closely with the schools and community organizations when scheduling so that our families have an easier time managing their various activities.
Our staff is amazing. Every one of them brings their love of dance and special talent to their students and the choreography.
Our staff trains with the top professionals in the dance industry in an ongoing commitment to bring the best to the students.
We provide lots of opportunities for our students to perform at a variety of venues and styles of performances.
Our shows are family friendly in length and especially in content.
Our costs for tickets and other dance items are the most reasonable to reflect our commitment to our families and the community.
The studio provides the costuming for the Oktoberfest and Holiday Shows and keeps the costuming fees for the recitals very affordable. We often provide "extras" such as accessories and props that enhance the costume and performance at no extra charge.
We give our students a commemorative t shirt and ribbon every year. The dancers wear their shirts with pride and treasure them for many years.
We have had many students who have become professional dancers. Most important is that all our students take the confidence they've gained from being a "shining star" to whatever path they choose for their future. There are former shining stars who are great doctors, teachers, nurses, parents, artists, counselors……..We constantly hear from our former students about the love of dance and spirit of family that they still carry with them.

Take me to your leader.
what is the best feature of your church?
Related posts from nakedpastor:
David Hayward runs the blog nakedpastor as a graffiti artist on the walls of religion where he critiques religion… specifically Christianity and the church. He also runs the online community The Lasting Supper where people can help themselves discover, explore and live in spiritual freedom.
- Adam Julians
Is that what it was like when you were pastroring the Vineyard David? *wink*.
- Caryn LeMur
So much depends on the leader.
– Does the pastor refuse to listen to gossip, and insist the gossip-giver meet alone with the person that offended him, then with witnesses, and finally with the church authorities [Matt 18:15]?
– Does the pastor feed the sheep, seek out the weak sheep and recognize/stop the strong sheep that are shoving the weak ones out of the church [Ez 34]?
– Does the leader find the sheep that have left the his/her church and guide them to good pasture – whether his/her old church, a new church, or an online community [also Ez 34]?
– Does he/she meet with other pastors/leaders within the city as equals – for you are all brothers [Matt 23]? Does the leader spend time personally among the hungry, thirsty, homeless, those lacking clothing, the sick or those in prison [Matt 25; Is 58]?
Churches are well known as beds of gossip filled with words by the immature and the frightened; territories that are being controlled by power-hungry 'elders' and 'deacons'; places that are so short-sighted that the leader abandons you when you leave the church; and as communities that are blind to the needs of the least that believe.
Yet the leader, man or woman, that lives just those 4 changes above, stands in such stark Christ-like contrast to the darkness of the church-group-think that I offer(a) if the church populace has rejected God, then the church populace will reject the leader; or (b) if the church populace has desired to become like Christ, they will imitate the leader.
Much love in Christ always and unconditionally; Caryn
- Al Cruise
The western style Church model is flawed, it is based on a corporate business model and can never work. The way it is set up, makes it a breeding ground for power struggles, vanity, showmanship, jealousy, envy, judgmental attitudes, guilt tripping, etc.

Breaking Ground on the Post-Interstate Interstate
(Matt Dellinger, Transportation Nation) The highway megaproject, an animal still thriving in China and other developing countries, has become something of an endangered species here in America. This has a little bit to do with actual endangered species—and more specifically the environmental laws we put in place to protect them. It also has a lot to do with money, which is kinda tight these days: The Highway Trust Fund is famously broke, and the transportation reauthorization bill is stalled because there's no consensus on how to make up for anemic gas tax revenues.
But despite all of this—and despite the fact that, technically, the interstate construction program ended in the mid-1990s—the biggest new interstate of the post-interstate era is still struggling its way into existence up and down the middle of the country.
The controversial 1,400-mile extension of Interstate 69 may one day connect Canada and Mexico through Indianapolis, Memphis, Shreveport, and Houston, making it—according to a forthcoming book written by, well, me—the last great American highway. It may never be fully built. But last month, I-69 made some big strides.
In Indiana, the state broke ground this summer on a new section of the highway, which is designed to connect Evansville to Indianapolis. The Indiana DOT says it's poised to have 67 miles of new terrain highway under construction by the spring. Governor Mitch Daniels, who conjured the money to build much of the new I-69 with his controversial lease of the Indiana Toll Road in 2006, has suggested that the new I-69 can be built as far north as Bloomington by 2012—when, coincidentally, Daniels' term will expire and someone will have to run against Barack Obama for President, perhaps on a platform of creating jobs and stimulating the economy of a downtrodden Midwestern state.
In the downtrodden southern state of Mississippi, another rumored 2012 contender, Governor Haley Barbour, is also nearing the end of his second term. It was Mississippi that first cut ribbon on a short stretch of new I-69, in 2006, and last month the state released its final environmental impact statement for the remaining 120-mile piece through the delta, which will tie the casinos near Tunica to the proposed Great River Bridge over to Arkansas.
The Interstate 69 extension has met fierce and persistent opposition in Indiana from a diverse coalition of environmentalists, farmers, fiscal conservatives, and young anti-globalization anarchists—two of whom recently signed a plea agreement settling charges that stemmed from protests in the spring of 2008. In other states, things are quieter. Kentucky and Texas have chosen to upgrade existing minor highways. In Louisiana, the ongoing study has been held up by concerns over the fate of a single row of old pecan trees at an LSU study station.
Do you think Interstate 69 should be built? Why or why not? Post a comment here to the left, and make sure to tell us where you're from!

Alex Pettyfer in Cosmopolitan February 2014: I Love Love
With his new film "Endless Love" set to hit theaters Valentine's Day (February 14th), Alex Pettyfer landed a feature in the February 2014 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine.
During his sit-down with the publication, the "Beastly" star chatted about his character in the new drama and revealed stories about his tattoos.
Highlights from Mr. Pettyfer's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Cosmopolitan!
On relating to his character in "Endless Love":
"We both love love. I love love. He works in a garage and I work in movies, so that's a bit different. But I worked in a garage when I was 15. I also raced cars. Not professionally, but that's what I always wanted to do. If I were in Formula 1, I'd quit acting... or make it my B job."
On refusing to get girlfriend tattoos:
"No! That's relationship suicide. I would get my mom's name though. My favorite one is "What goes around comes around" on my shoulder. I'm a bit believer in karma, but 90 percent of people say, 'Isn't that a Justin Timberlake song?' I did a movie with Justin and I told him, 'You're a f***ing pain in my a**, mate!'"
On being accused of having a bad boy persona:
"People will write what they want to write, and it's a lot easier to flow the pen negatively than positively. But I'm a boring motherf***er. I don't drink alcohol. I've never taken drugs - ever. So I don't go out to nightclubs or anything. I go to Disneyland, or I'll rent a go-kart and go racing."
On believing in soul mates:
"I do [believe]. Maybe not just one. But I believe that there are people out there who are made for you. It's hard to come by nowadays, but when you do, it something special."

In alternate chapters, Colt moves from a quest to understand how his own brothers shaped his life to an examination of the complex relationships between iconic brothers in history. The author believes that he would be an entirely different man had he not grown up in a family of four brothers. In this book, he movingly recounts the adoration, envy, rivalry, affection, anger, and compassion in their shifting relationships from childhood through middle age. He discusses how Edwin Booth grew up to become the greatest actor on the nineteenth-century American stage while his younger brother John grew up to assassinate a president. He shows how Will Kellogg worked for his older brother John Harvey as a subservient yes-man for two decades until he finally broke free and launched the cereal empire that outlasted all his brother's enterprises. The author also relates how Vincent van Gogh would never have survived without the support of his younger brother, Theo; how Henry David Thoreau's life was shadowed by the early death of his older brother, John; and how the Marx brothers collaborated on the screen but competed offstage for women, money, and fame.

So I sat in Org on my new Violet Proto-Drake for about 10 minutes really enjoying it, before switching back to my much more sleek flying carpet and going about my normal business, albeit at a much brisker pace.
I've also now been working on leveling my warrior through the new Cataclysm content - grant very slowly. He just hit level 81, so I'm on my way back to Org to figure out what this Colossus Smash thing is all about.
I also spent a few days working on gearing my hunter for the new ZA/ZG heroics, which took a lot less time than I thought it would. I've also been gearing up my frost mage for PvP and he's now got 3 of the 5 core pieces.
I'm thinking about working on gearing up the shammy next after I finish getting the warrior to 85. I might work on finishing up those last couple of professions a bit as well.
So, that's the update for this week!
