Harrison Breaud
Lafayette, LA
E. J. Ourso College of Business
LSU students are a diverse group. They come from all over the globe with different dreams, goals, and aspirations for their respective futures. Here is a chance to get to know them one at a time. No matter his or her academic discipline, everyone has a story to tell…including you!
Q: Harrison, why did you choose finance as a major?
A: I chose finance because it offered me a general business perspective as well as the more interpretive side of business like accounting. All of the executives I've met have told me that finance and accounting are the most important parts of business.
Q: Did you always know you wanted to be a business major?
A: I thought about biology, but soon realized that business is where my passion lies. I felt that it gave me the most chances to succeed after college.
Q: What made you choose LSU over some of your other options out of High School?
A: I had options in Texas as well as Tulane, but I chose LSU because it's close to home and I want to run for office one day in Louisiana and feel like LSU affords me the best opportunity to do that.
Q: You've interviewed for internships at Shell and Exxon. Describe how they went for a student who may be going through the same process soon.
A: They were both behavioral interviews, where they ask you to name a previous situation where you ran into a problem or challenge and had to find a solution to that problem. They wanted specific instances.
Q: Did you find that easy to do?
A: Sometimes, I had to put a little thought into it and be creative, but I prefer to have real conversations with interviewers than have to try to remember a time that I solved a problem. But, in these instances, being specific is what they look for.
Q: What have you learned at LSU that you think you may not have learned anywhere else?
A: I've learned that if you work hard and put major effort into accomplishing your goals, you will accomplish them. And if you need help, ask for it. The professors here are happy to give it.
Would you like to be featured on the LSU website? Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line "Star Student" and tell us a little about yourself. Include your hometown, major, and why you think you should be our next "Star Student."

Survey: Most Americans support defense cuts
A new survey shows a large majority of Americans support cutting defense spending, including military personnel costs.
While they don't support cutting military pay raises, they do want to raise Tricare and pharmacy fees, slow down growth in tax-exempt allowances, and cut military retirement benefits, according to a survey of 665 adults conducted by the Program for Public Consultation, the Center for Public Integrity and the Stimson Center.
Overall, 76% of those surveyed — 90% of those in Democratic congressional districts and 67% of those in Republican congressional districts — believe the defense budget should be cut with those in Republican districts proposing an average 15%reduction and those in Democratic districts proposing an average 28% cut, said Steven Kull of the Program for Public Consultation.
Only 4% of those in Democratic districts and 15% of those in Republican districts wanted to increase military spending. The survey's margin of error is plus or minus 4.8 percentage points.
In terms of where to cut, 27% favored strategic and nuclear programs, 23% said ground forces, 20% said the Navy and 19% said the Air Force, Kull said.
Matthew Leatherman, a Stimson Center analyst, said a widely held belief is that Democrats want to cut the defense budget and Republicans want to increase it.
"It doesn't seem to be true," Leatherman said. "That has not been substantiated by the evidence. After the election, this is why you are likely to see additional cuts in the defense budget."
A key reason for the strong support for defense cuts is the widespread belief of significant waste in the defense budget, said R. Jeffrey Smith of the Center for Public Integrity. Eighty percent of those in Republican districts and 86% in Democratic districts held that view.
One of the questions asked was about cutting military personnel costs. On average, those in Republican districts supported a $74 million cut in personnel funds while those in Democratic districts supported a $124.4 million reduction.
One difference: 52% of those in Republican districts but only 38% of those in Democratic districts supported doubling Tricare health insurance premiums for military retirees younger than age 65.
However, 62% of people in both Democratic and Republican districts expressed approval for making military families and retirees pay more for prescription drugs, and 64% from both parties supported slowing growth in tax-free military food and housing allowances, something they were told would save $6 billion a year.
Fifty-five percent of those in Republican districts and 49% of those in Democratic districts supported making military retirees wait until age 60 to started receiving retired pay, a change they were told would apply only to new recruits.
A cap on military pay raises was opposed by 57 percent of those surveyed, with those in Republican districts slightly more opposed than those in Democratic districts.

Oregon Draws in Record Crowd at Low-Scoring Spring Game
LaMichael James Provided Some Excitement in the 2011 Oregon Spring Game. Photo: Aaron Marineau/Oregon Daily Emerald
The Oregon Ducks, reigning PAC-10 Champs, had their Spring Game on April 30. A record crowd for the PAC-10 of 43,000+ showed up to take a look at Oregon's squad. Oregon only turned out a little over 25,000 fans to their spring game last season.
The excitement of the game itself did not match up with the interest level. The final score was 16-0, not for one quarter, for the entire game. The Ducks averaged only 2.5 yards per play despite a 67 yard touchdown run from LaMichael James. The starters were yanked early and there was a running clock in the second half. Starting quarterback Darron Thomas was 15/21 for 121 yards and an INT.
Oregon begins the season at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium against the LSU Tigers on September 3.

Pornography and masturbation are two different things. It is like apples and oranges.
Pornography is looking at a women's nakedness and spiritual adultery. It is a sin that leads to spiritual death and all Christian men HAVE to refrain from it. I gave up porn over 4 years ago and I am fully repented. It is hard to quit, but it can be done with help from the Holy Spirit.
Masturbation is NOT adultery. It is an unclean act. See Leviticus 15:
16 "'When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean till evening. 17 Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed with water, and it will be unclean till evening.
Masturbation does defile and drain you for a day, so if you jerk off every day you will never be clean and your spirit will never grow.
My suggestion to all the men on this board is to refrain from porn. Porn is degrading and slowly kills your spirit and feeds your flesh. If you absorb too much of it your flesh will become too strong for your spirit to maintain control of your body. Prisons are overflowing with men who could not control their flesh.

considering spiral perm for xmas, but am I naturally curly?
I apologize, I am asking what curl type I am. But I have spent a long time studying the board to avoid asking stupid questions so I hope I can be forgiven for the questions I do ask.
I think that I am a 2b, 2c might be pushing it. Could it be that I am not using the 'right" products yet? The pictures at my
Foti page http://public.fotki.com/cmartin1 (psswrd = 2b)
are the result of co-washing with Alagio Hydrating Shampoo and Loreal Kids 2-in-1 Cocoa Smoothie Shampoo (this was recommended somewhere on the internet for its detangling and curling benefits) plus honey. I scrunched with Back to Basics Sunflower Creme Mousse and Garnier Fructis Pure Fix Spray, using a heavy-fiber towel.
I was using the Alagio and Back to Basics products because they were on sale and looked like they could be helpful. But armed with xmas $$$ I am open to spending a bit more cash for the "right" products to avoid resorting to a spiral perm which might mask any natural curl already present. I long for spirals/ringlets but can be happy with clumped curls if I can achieve them.
Also, does this look like some horrific "triangle head", too "producty"?
Thank you everyone and Happy Holidays!
have you gotten the curly girl book yet.. If not that would be the first purchase I would make, then continue from there you definately look like you can get your hair spiraling with the right products and handling of your hair.. A mirco fiber towel / turban will help also one for scrunching out water and one for plopping. conditioners and gels can be purchased in a drug strong. The product ReCoil (can be purchased from curl mart) is a curl enhancing product which works wonders as well. start out simple then work from there.. your hair is very pretty by the way..
Thank you Keewee, I will start my Curly Girl purchases today starting with Massey's book and Recoil.
Do you (or anyone else) know if I can purchase AG Recoil from Trade Secret, Regis, etc - or do I need to order it online?
If I can have spirals like yours I would be quite happy. Thank you!
good luck!! as for the recoil you may be able to purchase in a store or salon you just need to find out who carries it, otherwwise curlmart has it. and alittle goes a long way i use about a dime to a nickel size,
Here is a thread that might help the triangle head problem. Once you really start to understand what your hair needs, it's easy to get rid of it, trust me!
I don't think you have triangle head at all. You can get good clumping with either a good leave in conditioner or a curl cream. Recoil will probably help, my Beauty without Cruelty leave in clumps my hair well if I scrunch the product in real wet hair rather than rake. Also scrunching in product with your hair hanging upside down will help clump all the way to the roots.
I bet if you play around with conditioners and curl creams your hair will get curlier. You look like you have a nice strong pattern it's just not corkscrews. You have lovely hair, I'd work with what you have!
BTW - 10% discount at Curlmart today only. HOLIDAY06
So stock up.

Ok, this being the first revision, there are some goofs. Nothing very important, but "quirks". Below is a list of all the known bugs, goofs, and quirks, and what we are doing, have done, or will do.
Output Pins do not match [HL]KNOWN AND FIXED ON VERSION 4[/HL]
FIXED AS OF JULY 7th 2007
Output Pins do not match [HL]KNOWN AND FIXED ON VERSION 4[/HL]
This was an error in PCB layout where the outputs are just not in the correct order. The LED's are, in the correct sequence however. This is no way degrades the basic functionality of the unit. The errors are all superficial.Accelerometers don't work well or at all: [HL]FIXED[/HL]
For the Digital Outputs: [HL]KNOWN AND FIXED ON VERSION 4[/HL]
For the Analogue Inputs: [HL]FIXED[/HL]
This is due to a miscommunication with our manufacturer, and they installed a 3.3volt part when we wanted a 5 volt part. We will offer cables that have integrated voltage regulators. As of now, DO NOT CONNECT YOUR ACCELEROMETER TO THE FUSION BRAIN. You can either wait for us to assemble an mail you a cable with a built in voltage regulator, or you can contact us, and we will provide you with part numbers for popular websites and stores where you can buy this small component and fix the problem yourself. It is an easy job, and required 3 solder points. We will be providing cables at no cost, but if you need this right away, we can help you expedite it.Analogue #0 does not work correctly [HL]FIXED[/HL]
FIXED AS OF JULY 7th 2007
This is currently a firmware problem. In our haste to fill pre-orders, we failed to find a flaw in the current firmware that prevents Analogue #0 from being read. The good news is that it is a firmware problem (software for the microprocessor), and not a hardware problem. That means we can reflash or reprogram the big black chip on the board, and as soon as it is pushed back in, it will work correctly. We are currently fixing the firmware, and we will provide an upgrade program for free. There will be 2 options. Option #1, is that you PayPal us $9 as a holding fee, and we will immediately ship you out a new chip. Replace your current chip with the new one, and mail us back the old chip in the prepaid return envelope, and as soon as we receive the chip, we will refund you the entire $9. Option #2, is that you send us back the chip, and once we receive it, we will send you a new chip. This will render your Fusion Brain useless until the new chip arrives, but does not require a $9 holding fee.When a sensor is connected, unused ports show activity as well [HL]NOT A PROBLEM[/HL]
The solution to this is to just put a jumper from Ground to the Voltage Input on the unused inputs. In the software however, if you are not using an input, do not configure it in the skin setting.

to see these wonderful gingerbread themed recipes.
3. Gingerbread Angle Ornament by Haniela's
My contribution to this Give the Gift of Gingerbread Blog Hop are Caramel Cocoa Egg Nog Custard Gingerbread Men. Now that title is a mouthful, I know, but I didn't want to leave anything out. These velvety smooth little desserts are bursting with caramel flavor accented by hints of cocoa and egg nog.
When I first saw the carton of Caramel Egg Nog in the refrigerator section of my grocery store, I immediately knew I'd be baking something with it. It's wonderful served as a drink, but even better baked into a flan or custard. The caramel flavor is predominant which my egg nog hating husband appreciated. There are notes of nutmeg and cinnamon in the dessert, but they are quite mellow.
If you love egg nog, and can't find the caramel flavor in your store, just swap the two out in the recipe.
I added some cocoa to the custard to create a richer flavor and darker color, and as it baked the cocoa rose to the top and it formed a crust, which is a nice contrast to the creamy custard. It's one of my new favorite recipes. I hope you like it too.
Ingredients: (makes 24)
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups Caramel Egg Nog (I used Hood brand)
1 – 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
candy eyes, optional
2 Wilton Gingerbread Men Silicone Molds (12 cavities per mold)
baking pan
Heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
Lightly whisk eggs, Caramel Egg Nog, and sweetened condensed milk together.
Set the silicone mold on a baking sheet. Pour custard into gingerbread mold cavities. I baked one mold at a time. If you have room, you can bake both together.
Pour boiling water onto the baking sheet, allowing the water to go half way up the sides of the mold, but not into the mold.
The Give the Gift of Gingerbread Giveaway will run from December 11 through December 17, 2013. Entrants must be US residents, 18 years or older Void where prohibited by law. Enter via the Rafflecopter entry form below. One winner will be chosen to win the entire prize pack and will have 48 hours to respond with their mailing information.

PayNet Canada commercial lending index highest since 2008
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO (Reuters) - Commercial borrowing by small and medium-sized businesses in Canada hit its highest level since 2008 in the last three months of 2012, and a much smaller percentage of the businesses were behind on their payments, according to a PayNet survey released on Thursday.
PayNet, which tracks commercial financing for millions of North American small and medium-sized businesses, said its Canadian Business Lending Index was up 6 percent in the fourth quarter from the third quarter and up 23 percent year-over-year.
It said the quarterly lending growth was ahead of that south of the border. "The Canadian small- and medium-business market is under steady expansion while the U.S. continues to muddle along," said Anthony Zambon, director of PayNet Canada.
The index rose to a reading of 181, its highest level since the final quarter of 2008, marking a ninth consecutive quarter of growth since the index bottomed out in 2010, and the sixth straight double-digit advance on a year-over-year basis.
The PayNet data contrasts with other reports that have painted a gloomy picture of the Canadian economy late last year, including inflation and retail sales data.
Gross domestic product data due out this Friday is expected to show the economy contracted in December and grew at an annualized pace of just 0.6 percent in the fourth quarter, below the central bank's already reduced forecast of 1 percent.
But Zambon said both the PayNet data, which tracks lending across sectors including manufacturing, retail and transportation, and the activity he has seen are more encouraging.
"These companies have great balance sheets and are ready for expansion," he said, adding that the companies tracked typically have loans outstanding of less than C$2 million. Continued...

"This is the first time I have used Tiny Prints for business cards, and just like everything else they do, these turned out great! I didn't need them right away, so I picked the slower shipping, and to my surprise, they arrived a week earlier than expected! I love the square shape of this particular design. It adds a little something different that helps me stand out from the competition. Thank you TP!"
"This was a great find. It's unique and sets your card apart from others. The photo and print quality is awesome. Colors are vibrant! Text is a bit small on the inside but they still look great. Not too much, not too little. And their customer service and delivery is awesome too."
"Beautiful artistic design. Our photo and business logo fit perfectly with the concept. Every person that has received one of our business card has complemented on how unique and creative it is."
"I just received my order and OMG! These cards are unique, creative and beautiful! With the choices of colors available, many templates to choose from and my own gorgeous photo's, these are spectacular. I am not kidding. Wow! Excellent turn around time and delivered as promised. Very happy with my new cards and will definitely order them again!"
"These business cards are beautiful, and extremely professional! The picture quality is fantastic, and the paper itself is a perfect balance of heavy and light. The paper looks and feels very professional!"

Small MP3 players tend to get typecast as sporty gadgets - things to pin to clothing while you strut those pounds off. However, the Creative Zen X-Fi 3 isn't really geared toward sport. It doesn't have the clip of the SanDisk Sansa Clip Zip or Apple iPod Nano, or any sport features like a stopwatch or pedometer. What does the Zen X-Fi 3 have? Plenty of non sport-related features, but the small-but-thick body and simple-but-dated UI make us favour the Sonys, Apples and Cowons of this world.
The Creative X-Fi 3 is a curious bundle of contradictions. The first one to strike is that while this is a palm-sized MP3 player, it's pretty chunky. 14mm thick by our measurements, it's as chunky as the Sandisk Sansa Clip Zip - and much of that player's thickness is down to a robust belt clip.
The impression the Creative X-Fi 3 leaves is one of a small brick. Some may find it cute, but now that players like the iPod Nano are well-established, it seems archaic. Forget about the chub factor and the look isn't too bad. The back and front are glossy black plastic, and its sides metallic grey plastic. One issue we encountered with the plastic-fronted screen was that it is quite scratch-happy, unlike the glass front of players like the iPod touch. After a few weeks rummaging around in your pocket with a pair of keys, it won't look so great.
However, as with many non-Apple MP3 players, the X-Fi 3 comes with its own share of hardware benefits. On its left edge is a rubber flap that covers the microSD slot. The £89 version of the player includes 8GB internal memory, but having the slot to use makes upping this to 40GB fairly cost-effective.
Another neat feature of the player is the internal speaker, which sits on its bottom. Nowadays, it's rare to see one in MP3 players, let alone small ones. It is something of a throwaway feature, though, producing sound quality and volume beaten by most smartphones.
To either side of this speaker sit the 3.5mm headphone jack and the miniUSB socket. Using this socket rather than the now much more common microUSB is another element that signposts the Creative X-Fi 3 isn't exactly cutting-edge.
To try and seem like it's in with the cool kids, the X-Fi 3 uses touch controls rather than clicky buttons, for the most part. There's a power/lock slider up top and volume control buttons on the right edge, but all menu navigation is handled using the five touch buttons in the front layer.
They are teeny little capacitive sensors, and handle library browsing and music playback. They don't feel particularly good, lacking any sort of feedback, and are frequently temperamental.
It's a classic worst of both worlds situation - you can't feel around the player with a finger to change tracks while it's in your pocket and yet as each button is clearly labelled with a white icon, they don't even provide that seamless a look. We're glad Creative didn't use the resistive screen tech seen in the previous-gen X-Fi 2 player, but these touch buttons represent the most problematic part of the player.

I purchased one of these on 17/09/2012. Mine proved to be nothing short of terrible, screen freezes, won't conect to my bluetooth earphones, speaker might as well not be there, tried to add countless videos and got 5 that it actually played. As for Creative customer service, worst ever! only option is to send an email to there customer support asking for a RMA number for returning device, NO number sent, just solutions to make the device work properly which I'd already tried and they didn't work. Still waiting as yet, this is the last purchase I'll ever buy from Creative. Putting my trust in Paypal to get me my money back. DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT OR USE THE COMPANY.
I got a 32G replacement for my old X-Fi2 because it
developed a cracked screen that creative wouldn't sell a replacement for. I got
the X-Fi3 because I really liked the sound quality of the X-Fi2. I purchased it
as a package with the M300 wireless headphones. So far I have been disappointed
in its performance. Initially it took so long to bring up a menu that I ended
up resetting it. It is very very slow (as in a couple of minutes)to bring up
its menu after charging or connecting to the computer. The sound quality
doesn't seem to be as good comparing it to the X-Fi2. The M300's are the most
uncomfortable things I have worn and don't stay in place when walking, let
alone using them for running as I had planned. The SD card isn't integrated and
you can't make playlists that link to
the SD card. The alarm sounds once for about 15 sec and then stops although it
is very loud. Progressing through the menus is tedious as you have to scroll
through every item to get to the album you want. I liked the X-Fi2's alphabetical buttons, they made it
easier to find what you want. The touch buttons on the edge of the player are
accidentally activated at times if your fingers get near them when holding the
player. At other times touching them gives no response which can be very
frustrating (like the X-Fi2). When I need to get a replacement player it won't
be a Creative model!
1000000000000% agree
I agree - I have volume problem with Latest model Zen XF!-13. At full volume can only hear about half of my classical music. Creative not at all helpful. I have asked for a return authorisation but they constantly ignore me. I think that this is a case for the EU consumer advice !!

Last night EDDIE FOXX hung out with CALEB JOHNSON'S daddy at Wild Wing Cafe South during the American Idol watch party. Eddie said Caleb's family were proud as punch over Caleb's accomplishments. I would be too if it was my son up their owning the stage.

Scots 'unhealthiest in UK'
Scotland is the unhealthiest part of the UK, according to a national survey.
Scots take more sick days, suffer more cancer and heart disease - and are more likely to have a "couch potato" lifestyle - than people in the rest of the UK.
The figures, depicting regional trends, were published by the Office of National Statistics on Thursday.
They give an up-to-date picture of regional differences in health, across the country, as well as trends in income, housing costs and unemployment.
But he said Scotland's health was getting better.
On the same day, Scotland's Chief Medical Officer Dr Mac Armstrong launched the Health in Scotland 2000 report.
He highlighted the fact women were smoking and drinking more than ever before, and warned they should not try to "keep up with the lads."
Scottish women watched an average of 31 hours of television per week last year, with men watching nearly 28 hours - both over two hours more than the national average.
Scots also spent the most per person on drinks and confectionery, and on cooked meat products such as pies and sausage rolls.
They are also far more likely to take sick days. Scotland lost 136 working days per every 1,000 employees, compared to just one day in the south west.
Women in London watched around 25 hours, and men in the east of England 22 hours - the lowest figures for TV viewing.
Londoners were also the healthiest eaters, spending the most on vegetables and fruit.
They also ate out at restaurants the most, while people in Yorkshire and Humberside ate out the least.
Heart health differences
The statistics showed a striking north-south divide in people's health.
Figures for 1999 show the mortality rate for ischaemic heart disease for women in the South East, South West, London and Eastern NHS regions was less than 170 deaths per 100,000 population.
But in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the North West, the rates were 210.
Women in the south west were the least likely to contract lung cancer, but the most likely to get breast cancer.
South Yorkshire, the East Midlands and South Humberside had the lowest rates of breast and prostate cancer.
Women in Scotland have over 50% higher chance of getting lung cancer than the national average.
Women in the south west have a 30% lower chance.
One disease that bucks the regional trend is breast cancer, with women in the south west having an 11.2% higher chance of developing it. Wales and Scotland had the highest mortality rates, with 11.9 deaths per 1,000 people and 11.8 deaths per 1,000 respectively.
London had the lowest rate of 8.5 per 1,000.
Milton Keynes had the lowest death rate of any town or city, and Conwy in north Wales had the highest.
'Getting better'
A Scottish Executive spokesperson said:� "Scotland's health is getting better.� However, we are aware that there is more to do."
He said heart disease and cancer were clinical priorities for the Scottish NHS.
He said initiatives were also planned to improve Scots' diet and exercise levels.
But he added: "Improving health requires action across a broader front too.�
"It is not just a task for the NHS.�That is why our social justice agenda is targeting efforts at the root causes of ill-health - poverty, unemployment, poor housing, poor education and a whole range of difficult but important issues."

Robert Stieglitz' football workout

Helmets? We don't need no stinking helmets! Multiple footballs?
The reigning WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz and his SES stablemates Christina Hammer, Michael Wallisch, Robin Krasniqi, Lukas Konecny and Dario Bredicean visited the training headquarters of the GFL's Dresden Monarchs for a workout and some publicity photos, which intentional or not ended up looking quite ridiculous!
Stieglitz defends his belt on Saturday night in Dresden against Yuzo Kiyota.

We're surprised that it's taken this long to get into
. After all, the CBS drama boasts not only a genuine movie star (Dennis Quaid, doing far better than his brother Randy), but also Vic Mackey himself (better known to non-
fans as Michael Chiklis, and to
fans as some bald beefy dude doing an impersonation of Michael Chiklis). The '60s-set drama is full of intrigue and scenery-chewing, and completely erases any memories of that other Vegas show from some years back. You know the one, right? It starred Josh Duhamel and looked like it belonged on TNT, before TNT had any money. Either way, forget about that, and stick with this.
Vegas airs at 10 p.m. on Global and CBS.

Just saw this,
feel sorry for the guy, he needs serious help
Web - www.valleyofkings.co.uk Twitter - vokmma
I think he may have thought that would be funny, but it was just boring, stupid, disruptive nonsense.
This is why Dana white hates this guy...
I could be completely wrong here and I hope I am, but it seems like he's got schizophrenia or reasonably early signs of it.
My dad has
Alsimhers and schizophrenia is also a part of his disorder and the way mayhem was acting was how my dad acted early on in his illness.
That being said if this is all an act Miller should be ashamed of himself, if not I hope some one helps him and gets him in a home where he will be safe ASAP.
Apparently he's in character to promote his 'movie'.
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
I don't know enough about the guy to say what's really going on but I wonder whether it's a bit of both; i.e. he's 'in character' but has lost sight of the boundaries between himself and a role he's playing. I once read an article about a famous method actor where his former wife expleined that when he was playing one of his most famous film roles he was absolutely intolerable to live with because he stayed in character 24/7 - not really very good for a person's mental health or their relationships
Any opinions I express on this forum are entirely personal opinions and it should not be assumed that they reflect the official view of any organisations I am connected with
feel for him!
i can imagine it gets pretty crazy mentally at the top, when you've got celebrity status, especially when people expect you to be a crazy character all the time. always expecting things, obviolsy hes made his own bed but , yeh i feel for him. it was hard to watch. punches to the head, fans and mma talk, repeating the same shit to people. i bet its fucking hard
being empty of yourself you cannot be attacked because you arent filled by you.

The Wide World of Gems
The Wide World of Gems
Back in 1875, when the young George Frederick Kunz first approached Tiffany & Co. with the idea of selling semi-precious stones, the only colored gems Tiffany offered were ruby, sapphire and emerald. Kunz convinced Tiffany to sell tourmaline as well, and that was the start of a slow but steady expansion of the colored gemstone trade. It's now possible to find two dozen different colored gemstone varieties in some jewelry stores, and specialized gem dealers will have many more.
When we started our online business 5 years ago we stocked about 40 different kinds of gemstones. At the last count we had nearly 90 varieties in stock. Recently we've been adding an even broader range of gems, with an additional 10 new gem types added in the last month alone.
What's behind the growing interest in rare and exotic gems? It is not just gemstone collectors who are looking for the rare and unusual. Jewelry designers are discovering new colors and textures to incorporate into their designs, and consumers are eager for information about the lesser-known stones. Miners now understand there is a market for these stones, and material that was once ignored is now carefully collected and graded.
Some of the new gem types are not exactly new. Some, like prehnite, apatite and sphene, have been known for years, but haven't been used much in jewelry because they were too soft. However, jewelry designers have now realized that these stones are actually more durable than perennial favorites like opal, and when properly set in earrings or pendants they will last for many years.
Other gems in the lesser-known category are actually very durable and are suitable even for rings. Many of them - such as chrysoprase, dendritic agate, rutilated quartz and fire agate - are members of the quartz family and have very good hardness and no cleavage.
Many of the lesser-known gems are relatively inexpensive. That makes them economically attractive for jewelry designers. But like so many gemstones, supplies are variable and uncertain. For example, natural carnelian and hessonite garnet are frequently requested by our customers but we don't usually find them. Yet, in the last month we've been fortunate to find quite a number of interesting and rare stones. We now have the largest and most varied inventory we've ever had.
New Content at GemSelect
Recently we've added new articles on topics including gemstone testers, chrysoprase, rhodochrosite and morganite. If you're interested in learning more about the history of the gemstone business, we've been adding short biographies of some of the most interesting figures. See our new pieces on Laurence Graff and the Moussaeiff family. Click the link to see all our gemstone articles.
Rare and Unusual Gems
Demantoid garnet is the rarest and most valuable of the garnets. In fact demantoid is regarded as one of the rarest of all colored gems. The name "demantoid" means "diamond-like," in reference to demantoid's impressive brilliance and luster. Demantoid garnets are difficult to find in any size, but clean specimens of good color weighing over 1 carat are extremely rare. This 1.94 carat demantoid is one of several large pieces we purchased recently.

Handmade Wood Chair with Leather laced seat
Very sturdy and comfortable wooden chair. I can only find 2 nails in it. One starts the leather strip and the other one to finish holding it. The braces are all strong and the chair does not squeak and nothing is loose on it. One end of the leather strip has broken from the original nail but it does not affect the stability of the seat. It is very firm. It appears to have a makers mark imprinted on the top of the seat back slat. I can't find much info on this so I would like to know if anyone has an idea of the maker's mark and possible furniture style and era. The wood is hard and it has a tight grain. Thanks.

"Nothing is sacred"
Film Synopsis:
Ken Follett's best-selling novel is brought to life in a star-studded and critically-acclaimed eight-part miniseries! Emerging from the war-torn shadows of England's Dark Ages, an idealistic mason, Tom Builder (Rufus Sewell, The Holiday) sets out on a quest of erecting a glorious Cathedral bathed in light. But when that light threatens to illuminate the dark secrets of ambitious Bishop Waleran Bigod (Ian McShane, 2005 Golden Globe Best Actor, TV's "Deadwood) and the battling progeny of King Henry, Queen Maud (Alison Pill, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) and King Stephen (Tony Curran, Ondine), they'll stop at nothing to keep those secrets safe!
My Take:
The pillars of the Earth is based on the novel by Ken Follett and is set in 12th Century England in the fictional town of Kingsbridge. The story revolves around the building of a cathedral and follows the lives of three men over 40 years as they each deal with politics, war, romance and personal ambition. Both my wife and daughter read the novel and insisted that we sign up for Starz so we could watch this miniseries. Set against a backdrop of war and political/religious power struggles this is an epic story that weaves an engaging tale of ambition, treachery, malice, greed, envy, devotion and love. At the center is the building of a magnificent Cathedral that will see the events that unfold around it come together via the manifestations of man's base emotions led by ambition which at its worst is driven under the façade of noble/divine right and at its best through genuine goodness with the power to overcome.
The key players lie in Tom, the master builder, Philip, the prior of Kingsbridge, the sadistic Lord William, Father/Bishop Waleran Bigod, Aliena, the noblewoman, Jack, the stone cutter, and Ellen, the accused necromancer, and carrier of a secret capable of bringing down the two most powerful men in the land. Featuring plenty of intrigue amidst a rather convoluted narrative the story's elements play out with all the bombast and passion you'd expect from a good miniseries. The twists, turns and underlying essence of unspoken/unseen drama are expertly conveyed. I enjoyed the depth and visceral depiction of both the times and characters while finding myself thoroughly involved in each installment. The scope of the production pays dividends as does the wonderfully placed cast. Having not read the book I can't comment regarding the strength of this adaptation. Taking it on face value I found it to be well executed and engaging to watch. I wouldn't rank it among the best miniseries the genre has to offer but there is no denying that it is worthy or praise. The series eight parts are spread over three BD-50 Blu-ray Discs with one installment of the supplemental material contained on each.
Episode breakdown:
Anarchy: The death of King Henry's heir ignites a battle between Queen Maud and King Stephen to become the successor to the throne. Monk Philip is enticed by an offer from Father Waleran Bigod; in return for his endorsement of Bigod to the appointment of Bishop, Philip will be elected Prior. Tom Builder travels the countryside in search of work.
Master Builder: When a fire destroys Kingsbridge Church, Tom presents a plan to Prior Philip to construct a glorious new cathedral filled with light. As Philip politics for funds to aid in the church's construction, he finds himself caught between Bishop Bigod and King Stephen's supporter, Earl Percy Hamleigh.
Redemption: Prior Philip and Percy's son William find themselves in a political stalemate as they compete for access to valuable stone. Jack demonstrates amazing artistic prowess as he begins to carve a monument to St. Adolphus and the destroyed Kingsbridge Cathedral.
Battlefield: William plans his way towards Earldom and soon discovers he is not alone in his ambition; a mysterious knight seeks the same appointment. The battle between Maud and Stephen rages, culminating in hostages from each side being seized. Philip is tortured into confessing to the betrayal of Earl Bartholomew.
Legacy: Tom attempts to mediate a camaraderie between Jack and his son, Alfred. However, their intense rivalry for the affection of Bartholomew's daughter, Aliena, proves too much of an obstacle. Waleran and Regan Hamleigh negotiate a hostage exchange while William mounts an attack on Kingsbridge in an effort to halt Aliena's pending success.
Witchcraft: Aliena's brother, Richard, is shocked as he emerges from the battlefield only to find his sister destitute and incapable of supporting his knighthood. Aliena is torn between honoring a promise made to her father, Bartholomew, and her love for Jack. A catastrophe in Kingsbridge paves the way for Waleran to orchestrate Pilip's impeachment.
New Beginnings: Jack's travels provide him with valuable information which will aid him in constructing his stepfather's majestic dream cathedral. Aliena tracks Jack down using only her intuition and the warm trail left by his distinctive carvings. Bigod makes Philip an attractive offer, but it's one which carries and unattractive price.
The Work of Angels Eight years have passed. Now completely obsessed with the notion of erecting Tom's cathedral, Jack is unable to focus on anything outside of his divine calling. Aliena remains fiated on securing her family's right to the Earldom of Shiring and thus, fulfilling hte promise she made to her father.

The pillars of the Earth comes to Blu-ray from Sony Home Entertainment featuring 1080p AVC encoded video that has an average bitrate of 23 Mbps and lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound that has an average bitrate of 3 Mbps.
This high definition video presentation offers clear, refined images that boast a relatively subdued color palette that is rarely eye catching but conveys the earth tones and time period specific clothing, locals and sullen complexions with aplomb. There are instances where deeper more vivacious hues are utilized and their presence is not only welcomed but their application is purposefully vivid and boldly stated. The rendering of fine detail can range from exquisite to moderate. This leaves certain long range and mid level shots with less dimensionality but not to the point of appearing soft. Black levels fluctuate however contrast is stable which when coupled along with the prevailing use of low level lighting mates well with the visual style of the presentation. I didn't see any signs of video related artifacts/anomalies and felt that this high definition presentation closely mimicked and bested the series' original broadcast quality.
The DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack isn't bombastic or overly aggressive but that doesn't prevent it from being remarkable. Its attributes come in the form of superlative high level detail, defining clarity, and subtly distinctive surround sound that doesn't disappoint. This is a sophisticated sound design that incorporates a vast number of sounds/effects that are intricately mixed to engage the listening position. Bass can be deep and room energizing but never rises inappropriately in prominence. The mix expertly handles the delicate blend of music, discrete/ambient sounds, crystal clear dialogue and low frequency effects as it weaves an aurally stimulating pattern across the soundstage. I recall being impressed with the lossy 5.1 channel soundtrack via my Time Warner Cable feed but this lossless presentation clearly bumps it to a higher level.
Bonus Features:
- (HD) Making of The pillars of the Earth (Disc 1) - 27 minute documentary
- (HD) Visual effects progression (Disc 2) - 9 minute feature
- (HD) Main titles progression (Disc 3) - 5 minute feature
- (HD) Previews (Disc 3): - Damages: Season one, Nowhere boy, Welcome to Riley's, Bridge on the river Kwai
Final Thoughts:
Based on the novel of the same name by Ken Follett The pillars of the Earth is an engrossing adaptation that features plenty of intrigue, well drawn/integrated characters, and a convoluted narrative that while not perfect ultimately rewards with the type of bombast and passion you'd expect from a good miniseries. This three disc high definition Blu-ray release from Sony offers excellent audio/video quality along with a limited bonus feature set that will likely leave fans wanting. If you're a fan and want to revisit this miniseries again this set is worth adding to your collection. If you aren't familiar with it but enjoy the subject matter The pillars of the Earth on Blu-ray Disc makes for a satisfying and worthwhile rental.

I really enjoyed the series, mainly because of the great cast. The story tends to fall apart at the end, too much to cover in too little time. Production quality is also a strong point.
thanks for the review, ralph!

Deploying Prerequisites (Visual Studio)
In order to successfully deploy an application, you must also deploy all components referenced by the application. For example, most applications created with Visual Studio 2005 have a dependency on the .NET Framework; a required version of the common language runtime must be present on the target computer before the application is installed. The deployment tools in Visual Studio 2005 enable you to install the .NET Framework and other components as a part of your installation — a practice known as bootstrapping.
The following components are included in Visual Studio 2005:
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Language packs
Windows Installer 2.0
Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package 2.0
Microsoft Visual J# .NET Redistributable Package 2.0 Language packs
Microsoft Data Access Components 9.0
Microsoft SQL Express 1.0
Crystal Reports for .NET
Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8
For both Windows Installer and ClickOnce deployment, bootstrapping of the .NET Framework is enabled by default. You can disable bootstrapping for the .NET Framework, but you should only do so if you are sure that the correct version of the Framework is already installed on all target computers or if your application does not require the Framework.
Additional components should be bootstrapped only if your application has a dependency on them.
By default, bootstrapped components are deployed from the same location as the installation package. Alternatively, you can choose to deploy the components from a URL or file share location where users can download them as necessary.
Bootstrapped components may require administrator or similar privileges on the computer in order to install. For ClickOnce applications this means that the user may need administrative permissions to install regardless of the security level specified by the application; once installed the user can run the application without administrative permissions.
During installation, users will be prompted for permission to install the bootstrapped components if they are not present on the target computer.
As an alternative to bootstrapping, you can predeploy components using an electronic software distribution system such as Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS).

I think the forums are very helpful to both customers and authors. It allows customers to ask support questions, site questions, and allows them to communicate with authors.
Yes all of these can be achieved on the item page but we all know it does happen sometimes.
It allows authors to ask staff questions about their file, generate feedback from other authors.
Staff can talk to customers about the site, their files, and suggestions.
The forums integration is also excellent, with RSS Feeds and profile linkage.
Some downfalls of this forum is it don't fell like a forum. Why is there an off topic forum? If you post in there two things happen.
One – You get flamed for not 'being serious' Two – You get no replies.
This bothers me why is this a forum if you can not have off topic discussions.
I propose that Envato makes the forums more defined. More Categorical.
An Example Forum Layout
Envato Site BoardNews FAQ Feedback
ThemeforestTemplate Help Buying Help Authors Help forum Presale Questions

I hope you guys understand what I am saying.
Invison Power Board, and phpBB are great. But I understand some challenges envato will face like the profile linkage.
But envato is filled with brillant minds and I am sure they could figure it out.
Thanks for reading, Freddy
What do you think about this idea?
Some good thoughts.

Thanks Bill
Common Sense, the rarest of all senses
I got mine about two years ago and the picture was optional. I think they charged me five bucks for it.
Just got mine about a month ago. No pic required. The actual permit you will get has a place for a pic, but printed in the space is "no picture required" (or something similar).
wow, I wasnt aware of that, here in TN our hand gun carry permit looks like our drivers license, only it says handgun carry permit
My non-res PA says"valid without photo".
I happened to be in PA when I got my PA non-resident permit. The photo was optional, but without it you needed to have a picture ID with you as well as the LTCF whenever you carried.
I'm from PA and they take your picture when you apply for the resident permit. I find that odd that we need the pic, but non-residents don't. But I find a lot odd (lol).
I was a resident, and actually still own a home there and am currently in PA. My CWP is PA although I now have a Georgia DL. I'm guessing that the PA-CWP is no longer valid but does anyone know?
"A strong body makes a mind strong. As to the exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the Body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind . . . Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks."
--Thomas Jefferson August 1785
I find it odd that the permit is a flimsy piece of 20# paper.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government".

"If I walk in the woods, I feel much more comfortable carrying a gun. What if you meet a bear in the woods that's going to attack you? You shoot it."
{Bernhard Goetz}
Maybe it's just me, but I'd want my pic on it...eliminates a lot of potential problems. IMHO

Substrate Question
Guys and Gals,
I'm about to start my paludarium/vivarium build here pretty soon. For the land portion I was thinking about doing a layered substrate. First layer gravel, second would be carbon (filter carbon), then organic potting soil on top. All this will sit on top of the egg crate which will be covered with window screen fabric.
What do you think?
Potting soil has a way of becoming quite waterlogged in a terrarium; it doesn't drain fast enough.
Consider using ABG mix instead...
Keep your gravel 1.5x thicker than (potting soil + carbon)

Very best Sources of Masteral School Scholarship grants

Therefore , students that plan to improve into graduate school are looking at these scholarships or grants as a appropriate option to produce enough financing. When it comes to your try to find your university student scholarships, you will find only a few areas to go.
Financing Programs
If you need to apply for http://zabursaries.com, the first place you should go to is the university or maybe college's financial aid office. Many of them have a listing of possible grants that you can make an application for. You can also communicate your wish to acquire economic assistance on your graduate or maybe college classes studies to any one of your friends so they can tell you potential scholarships and grants you can be present at.

The particular vast on-line database will supply you tons of information quicker.
Government Plans

If you know regarding any scholarship or grant group, go to their place of work and ask about for any available graduate school scholarship that you can apply for. Groups like the Country wide Scholarship Providers Association (NSPA) were planned specifically to provide funding for young students.

Haz clic aquí para leer la historia sobre Salvador Dalí en español
While in drawing school in 1916, Dali was introduced to modern painting on a summer vacation with a friend and local artist who was constantly visiting Paris. A year later, in 1917, his father had an exhibition for Salvador's charcoal drawings in their own home. In 1919, he had his very first public exhibition at the Munical Theater in his home town. Later he moved to Madrid and his fellow students' attention was not only drawn to Dali's striking style but his early Cubism work.
In 1926 he was expelled for saying the professors were not eligible to give him exams because he knew his artistic abilities surpassed theirs. Later that year he met, for the first time, Pablo Picasso, whom he looked up to. Over the next few years he was greatly inspired by Picasso and Miro, while he still developed his own unique style. His influence ranged from all styles of art to math. He also started growing a crazy, flamboyant mustache, which was inspired by his icon, Spanish master painter Biegor Velazquez.
His post-WWII period consisted of optical illusions, science, and religion. He named this period the "Nuclear Mysticism." In 1982 he did his last drawing, which was given to King Juan Carlos of Spain,after the king visited Dali's death bed. His wife died that same year; Dali lost most of his will to live. Dali didn't die until January 23, 1989, of heart failure. His body remains in the crypt of his Teatro Museo.
Dali had a life full of what he loved and was amazing at creating art. His skills were not only in painting but in sculpting, theatre, photography and fashion. Because he created so many pieces of art, he will never be forgotten. His works will live forever.

I love Eddie's boxing. Two wars with Chandler. Redemption against Aoki. He's coming over to UFC surely once the promotional battle ends. I'd rank him as high as 4 or 5. Khabib's wrestling is superior, receiving a stiff test in Gil. He's a slight favorite but I'm picking Gil to win.
Chandler's wrestling is obviously elite. His stand-up is getting better and better. Has the strength and KO power in his hands. I'd rank him slightly lower than Eddie. 6 or 7 range.
I like the MJ vs Nate match up. Johnson is very mobile and has good enough hands to make it interesting.
Nate would have to drop him to hit a sub though cause i don't see any grappling being involved if that fight happened.

How I see the HW division
After what Browne did to Barnett when he went for a TD?
I would have said the same thing before that fight, but after watching those elbows, if Cain doesn't take him down with authority, he probably won't take him down at all.
The victory over Overeem didn't say much, I think AO is done off whatever he was on for the Brock fight. He couldn't finish Silva and he couldn't finish Browne. But the win over Barnett is a statement. Still think Cain would win, but that's a dangerous fight for him.
Shin bone bruh. His leg looked like a hockey stick. I wouldn't recommend the view
I like the MJ vs Nate match up. Johnson is very mobile and has good enough hands to make it interesting.
Nate would have to drop him to hit a sub though cause i don't see any grappling being involved if that fight happened.
I wouldn't rec it either. More like noodle than hockey stick, it was the worst injury I've ever seen in sports, although I know there have been worse - I just haven't seen them.
Johnson vs. Diaz would be a great fight, but I'm not sure Johnson is ready for/deserves Diaz. He's maybe one more fight away from that match up. I think he could definitely win, but very few guys are going to outbox Nate Diaz. Johnson clearly has the speed and power to make it interesting though.

I am convince her yambs secrete EPO in da juices .
Only logical explanation for Cains cardio
-Dana got a real problem at HW though. I can see Cain and Junior destroying dudes for the whole of 2014 and forcing a 4th fight no one wants to really see.
155 is gonna be wild in 2014
Rumor Lesnar was in Vegas negotiating with UFC brass on a comeback.
Cain/JDS 4 has got to be a loooong way off from happening.
Their trilogy answered all of the questions. It broke the tie, it was almost an exact replay of their second fight except that Cain finished him this time.
JDS is like Urijah Faber or Joseph Benavidez or Frankie Edgar. Clearly better than everyone else, but not good enough to beat the champ.
Looking forward to Gus and Manuwa. What a treat we are in for.
Should Gus win and Cormier beat Evans, I wonder what Dana will do for the number one contender.
As far as the heavy's go, it's tough to say Browne wouldn't win a round against Cain. It's tough for me to say anyone will dethrone Cain for a while, but Browne seems hungry man, he seems motivated and highly driven. Those three things combined with his skill set and size make him a very dangerous man. Like I said before though, I'd favor JDS over Browne. Doesn't mean Browne isn't up there but he has to prove it to me before I put him in that tier.
The head has got to be at hip level or below for Travis to get those elbows off so Cain would just need to keep his head above above his waist.
If Gus wins the rematch is happening regardless of what DC does to Rashad.
