Salsa Moves for the Club
Learn How To Dance Salsa With the Backup Dancers To The Stars
From the backup dancers to Beyonce, Ashanti, Shakira, Ricki Martin, Gwen Stefani,Mary J Blige and more, comes a revolutionary new DVD that will teach you how to dance salsa in just a few short hours.
Here is how you can master the sexy, simple to follow salsa steps it takes to dance smoothly and naturally. You'll learn stylish, incredibly fun salsa dance moves, develop amazing confidence on the dance floor, and have everyone (or even just that one special someone) begging for your attention!
No experience necessary… no long and complicated routines
If you can account to 4 and follow simple instructions, then you can quickly become one of the best salsa dancers in the club.
The secret to learn how to dance salsa quickly and easily is in the innovative way of teaching which cuts out all of the boring routines and teaches you the simple, easy to follow moves to get you dancing tonight.
When it comes to going out and having a fantastic time dancing salsa at the club . . . there's a secret that most "good dancers" and even most dance instructors don't want you to know.
The "secret" is that to be a really good salsa dancer, you don't need to know dozens and dozens of moves . . . learn long and complicated routines or spend years and years of training and practicing and making yourself a "pro."
Nope, to become a really good salsa dancer (maybe even the best dancer who everyone just can't take their eyes off of) you just need to learn a few fun, salsa moves, and learn to do them really well.
Just think about the last time you went out to the club and saw someone on the dance floor who you thought was a really good dancer . .
Were they throwing out a ton of moves and doing complicated routines?
Nope. They were just doing a few hot and spicy moves over and over . . . and doing them REALLY well . . . with complete confidence . . . and in sync with the music.
Don't get me wrong . . .the "complicated" stuff does have its place . . . but if you want to go out, ignite the fun on the dance floor, and be free . . .
You need to be able to feel the music . . . to react to the people around you . . . to effortlessly switch from move to move . . . and to do so with a smile on your face . . . without having to constantly think about what comes next.
In Other Words, You Need to be Able to Dance "Naturally" and Really Be in The Moment.
And that's why we created this comprehensive, salsa dancing system. You're going to how to dance salsa smoothly and naturally, and you'll be able to do in a lot less time than you think.
Here is how it works . . .
Instead of teaching you long patterns and sequences, which are too rigid to take to the club, we're going to teach you specific moves, so you can do them in any order you want, to any type of music, and in any social situation.
That means when you pick up your copy of "Salsa Moves for the Club" today, you're not just learning salsa moves.You'll be able to use these moves in bars, parties, weddings, salsa clubs, and on any night on the town and we'll show you show you how to go from casual to formal with the simple change of your hand position.
First we show you how each move looks full speed so you can "lock in" what you're about to learn . . . then we slow down . . . break every move into its most basic parts and show you exactly how to "program" the move into your body so you can do it on demand, without even thinking about it, the moment you get out on the dance floor.
We've jam packed this DVD with months worth of salsa dancing material, and unlike other series that make you work through volume after volume, we created this one DVD with the simple goal of teaching you how to dance salsa tonight!
It's the shortcut to becoming an amazing dancer fast, to hitting the club tonight, and to spinning your partner around with complete confidence, knowing you're one of the best dancers at the party, smiling as you just dance the night away, without worrying about your dance moves.
Can you really learn to dance salsa from a DVD?
One of the big questions I get is whether you can really learn to dance salsa from a DVD. After all, most dance teachers would tell you that they need to see what you're doing and point out mistakes.
And our answer to that question is always the same . . .Yes you can!
One of the biggest advantages to learning salsa from a DVD is that you get to rewind as many times as you want. Unlike group dance classes that leave you behind when you don't get something, or even private lessons that you have to pay for by the hour. . .you'll be able to go through our lessons as often as you want, whenever you want, and on your own time! And most importantly, you can do it all in the privacy of your own home!
We've loaded Salsa Moves for the Club with literally months worth of dance lessons. You'll start with fun, simple moves, and when you're ready to move on, you'll uncover sexy variations, fun turns, and even daring dips that so much easier to learn than they look.
Take a look at the testimonials on this page and you'll realize that thousands of men and women around the world have already learned to dance salsa at the club from our educational DVDs . . . and have gotten truly awesome results.
The fact is, We've been teaching salsa dance for a long time . . . and when we put this DVD together, we made sure to go slow, show the right technique and answer the most common questions before you even have time to ask them. That means that you can order your DVD with confidence, knowing that you're going to learn to dance salsa the easy, simple, no fail way.

Here's How You Can Get Your Hands on "Salsa Moves for the Club,"RIGHT NOW . . .
And At A Surprisingly Low Cost
After all, private dance lessons to learn these moves would cost you at least $25 per session . . . Add in the fact that you could only learn one or two moves per session and you'd end up paying over $500 to learn just a portion of the material you'll find on these DVDs . . . and that's if you could find someone to teach you the right way to learn quickly (instead of just learning long routines that won't get you anywhere.)
But we're not going to charge you hundreds of dollars . . .Heck, we're not even going to charge you $50 . . . thought I think you'll agree that would be a pretty great bargain . . .

Small wedding in Windsor, not many offended
Page Tools
Almost 70 years ago, Edward VIII chose love over loyalty and abdicated. "I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as king as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love," he said in his broadcast on December 11, 1936. A generation later, in 1955, Queen Elizabeth II's sister, Princess Margaret, chose loyalty over love when she decided not to marry a divorced man, Group Captain Peter Townsend, therefore retaining her rights of succession.
On Thursday, the Queen's eldest son, the Prince of Wales, announced that he will marry his long-time companion, Camilla Parker Bowles. This was not strictly a matter of love or loyalty - assured in either case - but of time.
Over the years, the House of Windsor has modified its views on love and marriage to the extent where divorce and remarriage are almost as commonplace in its own ranks as they are in the societies it rules. The Queen, who is the head of the Church of England and has been married for 57 years, has not passed on her marital longevity to three of her four children, nor to her late sister. Also, today's intense media coverage of royal romances (real or speculative) is far from the days when Mrs Wallis Simpson was kept out of the spotlight to maintain respect for the monarchy.
Public morality and attitudes have changed - indeed, when Prince Charles first married, to Lady Diana Spencer on July 29, 1981, in St Paul's Cathedral - the word "fairytale" was still synonymous with royal weddings, and princes were as dashing as their princesses were pure. That this particular fairytale turned into something darker than the Brothers Grimm was itself an indication that even royalty cannot always expect happy endings.
The heir to the throne's second wedding will be on April 8, a civil ceremony at Windsor Castle and reception restricted "mainly to family and friends". This is, by Windsor standards, akin to a registry-office job and a toasting in the anteroom. As it should be, since the bride and groom are, er, no longer young, and have been down the aisle before. At least the couple will receive a blessing from the Archbishop of Canterbury, as well as much goodwill from the many who see their official union as the more or less blissful conclusion to this complex, protracted fairytale.
Yet, the ghost of Diana continues to cast its spectral shadow. "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded," she said in 1995. Many Diana supporters unforgivingly and unfadingly still see Mrs Parker Bowles as the other woman, even though Diana is beyond the grave. The fact Mrs Parker Bowles is finally marrying Prince Charles will not entirely erase the stigma of being a royal mistress. Care has been taken to ensure she maintains titular distance from her predecessor: she will not be called HRH the Princess of Wales but HRH the Duchess of Cornwall (Rothesay, in Scotland); when her husband finally ascends the throne, she will not be his queen, but Princess Consort - a nifty adaptation of Prince Consort, which Queen Victoria bestowed on her husband, Prince Albert.
As far as Australia is concerned, royal nuptials seem to matter less and less. There is bound to be some rise in interest at the end of this month when the Prince of Wales makes his first tour of this country in 10 years (it is unlikely his fiancee is joining him), and we hope he receives a warm welcome. The question is, will the prince attract larger crowds than Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, who is touring with her husband at the same time? She is, after all, Australian-born, and still the stuff of fairytale.

About MeI grew up in rural Connecticut as the son of a residential building contractor. I had exposure to many types of materials and the ways to work with them. Being a poor student in high school, I attended the first college that accepted me. I got bored quickly in Montana and started to make art. When I noticed a sewing machine my father brought at a yard sale during summer break, ($8) I took it back to my dorm room art studio. One night I started looking close at a t-shirt. After awhile I had a crude cardboard pattern. I transferred to an art college in San Francisco. After some experience and hard work, I'm in a beautiful studio of my own producing clothing for my friends and family. I joined modelmayhem to increase my exposure to people involved with the fashion industry. Currently I am a couturier for men and women. I am looking to move into ready to wear for men and women. Fabrics of choice consist of either 100% natural or obviously synthetic fibers. The objective lately is custom pants designed to be as sleek as possible allowing use of thicker fabric.

A Health Care Management degree can be achieved a number of ways. We have traditional on campus courses, an online HCM degree and an off-campus option for military students.
Mission Statement
Through multiple forms of delivery, the Mission of the HCM program is to prepare students for future management roles in healthcare service settings and/or to academically prepare them for graduate education.

The Vision of the HCM program is to increase student access to a premier undergraduate healthcare management education through multiple forms of program delivery and to support the healthcare industry through student service opportunities.
Values Statement
The HCM program is committed to academic excellence by offering a curriculum that meets the expectations of industry leaders and the premier undergraduate certification body of healthcare management education. The program strives to be compassionate and understanding to students by offering multiple forms of program delivery so that access to a premier undergraduate healthcare management degree is accessible to traditional, military, place-bound, and working-adult students.
The Undergraduate Program
The primary mission of the baccalaureate program in HCM is providing a comprehensive, high-quality undergraduate education in health care management. The program incorporates study of the theoretical and technical aspects of health care management for aspiring and practicing health care managers. The program also helps our students acquire an understanding of the complex interaction of the economic, financial, political and social factors affecting the management and delivery of health care services. SIU's Health Care Management Program, with more than a decade of experience teaching undergraduates about health care, is a leader in health administration education. Our alumni, more than 1,500 strong, are a testament to our program's quality.

HCM students complete a foundation set of courses in economics and business. Required courses for the major cover the healthcare system, health services management, health policy and medical needs. In addition to choosing among department elective courses in health finance, management, strategic planning and marketing, long-term care and others, HCM students take supporting courses from other departments that provide opportunities for exploration and specialization. For example, students can choose minors including general business, management, finance, marketing and accounting.
Online courses are restricted to students in the online program only. On-campus courses are restricted to students in the oncampus program only.
Health Services Career Opportunities
Many HCM graduates work in finance, marketing, human resources, and other management fields in a wide variety of healthcare settings including: hospitals and health systems, long-term care organizations, physician group practices and health insurance and pharmaceutical companies. HCM graduates with interests in policy may find positions in state health, aging and insurance departments, federal agencies such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and with private trade and research organizations. In addition, some HCM graduates pursue graduate education in medicine, health law, public health, and business or in the growing fields of health administration or health services research and policy. Experts predict continued rapid growth in employment and income in health administration.

"The quality was better than I expected. Nice paper I would have liked to change the color of the door to match the green print, but not a deal breaker."
"Loved this invitation!!! I ordered it for a Client Appreciation Party and wanted to convey it was an elegant wine tasting & appetizer event for adults. This card was perfect!!!"
"The design logo immediately captured my eye as I'm launching an Event Planning business - following my own North Star! The ease of personalizing the card, font styling options and design choices are fabulous. The first time I handed the card to a fellow Chamber of Commerce member during a networking event, they were floored! The weight of the card instantly communicates, "Elegance!" The vibrant colors state, "Professional"; and the Styling gives a nod to, "Creativity." I initially ordered a small batch as a prototype. Once received, I nearly quadrupled my order! Hello Little One has a Midas touch!"
"I received my cards on time and they were accurate. Tiny prints always makes a "big impression." I use them so often for so many occasions that people have come to expect something exceptional from me. Indeed these cards make a lasting impression. I would highly recommend the product. I should have chosen a paper with shine. It would have made it pop even more."
"The paper colors and print were great. I actually used it for a sweet 16 party. My niece's theme was a mardi gras masquerade, so the design fit perfectly."

A Somali Story by Sabrin Hassan
A very long time ago, there was a crafty lion and a clever sheep. One day, the clever sheep was eating some grass in a clearing with his friend when the crafty lion came creeping across the fields towards them. When the lion came out of the tall grass the sheep prepared to run because they were scared of his sharp claws and his big teeth. 'You do not need to run away,' said the lion in a friendly voice. 'I am simply here to tell you about a lovely fresh water lake just beyond these fields. Why don't you come with me and have a drink.'
The clever sheep knew better than to trust the lion, but his friend was very thirsty and so agreed to go for a drink with the lion. The clever sheep warned his friend but the friend did not listen.
And so the lion lured the sheep into the tall grass with the promise of fresh water. The lion looked all about to make sure that no other animals were around to help the sheep, and when he was sure they were alone he pounced on the unsuspecting animal, and ate him for his dinner.
Later that day, when his friend did not return to the herd, the clever sheep was sure that the crafty lion had eaten him. 'That is ten sheep this month,' he thought to himself. 'I must do something to stop the crafty lion before I lose all of my friends!'
And so the clever sheep warned the rest of the herd about the crafty lion and his tricks. But the silly sheep did not listen, and as the weeks and months passed, the crafty lion lured more and more sheep into the tall grass with the promise of fresh water. And it was there that they met their grizzly end.
One day, the clever sheep decided that it was down to him to do something about the crafty lion and his wicked ways.
The clever sheep waited until nightfall and then crept out into the clearing next to the long grass. When he was sure that he was alone, he began to dig a very deep hole in the ground. When this was done, he built a huge fire at the bottom of the hole then covered the hole over with reeds and grass so that the smoke would be hidden from view.
The clever sheep waited patiently until dawn, and just as the sun was rising over the fields he heard a familiar voice coming from the tall grass.
'Why don't you come with me, little sheep. I know of a fresh water lake just beyond the fields where you can enjoy a cool drink of water.'
The clever sheep did not move from his spot. Instead, the sheep said, 'why don't you come out of the tall grass and I will show you where you can find lots of sheep to eat.'
The lion was indeed very crafty, but he was also very greedy and could not resist the temptation of such a huge dinner.
'Come with me,' said the sheep once more, 'and I will show you where the herd lives.'
And sure enough, the lion stepped out from the tall grass into the clearing. But as soon as he stepped from the grass, he fell down into the deep hole and burned in the roaring fire set by the clever sheep.
'That is the end of you and your wicked ways,' thought the clever sheep to himself. 'Now us sheep will be safe, for a while at least.'
When the clever sheep returned home he told the rest of the herd about his victory over the lion. They all cheered and congratulated their friend, and they all asked how he was able to kill the crafty lion when the beast was so big and strong yet he was so small and fragile.
'It was simple,' replied the clever sheep, 'all I did was watch and learn from the mistakes of others.'
The clever sheep then went on to explain how he had watched the crafty lion lure his friends into the fields, and he also explained that this was how he had learned of the lion's greedy nature.
The rest of the herd listened closely to the clever sheep and so they too learned never to trust the lions again, and they also learned how important is was to listen to good advice given by a friend.

Keebaa Xariifsan, Laxda ama Libaaxa?
Sheeko Soomaali
Waxaa qortay Sabriin Xasan
Bari hore, ayaa waxaa jiray libaax xeel badan iyo lax xariifad ah. Maalin, ayaa laxda xariifadda ah ayadoo la daaqaysa saaxiibadeed caws meel banaan markaas oo libaax xeelbadan uu ka soo gurguuranayo keynta asagoo ku soo wajahan. Markii uu libixii ka soo muuq baxay caws dheer idihii waxay isku diyaariyeen inay cararaan sababtoo ah waxay ka cabsadeen cidiyihiisa fiiqan iyo miciyihiisa dheerdheer. Waxuu libaaxu cod dabacsan ku yidhi 'Waxba ha cararina,' 'Waxaan uun halkan u imid inaan idiin sheego bali biyo nadiif ah oo kaymahan dhinacooda ah. Maxaad iigu imaan ladihiin ood iila cabi ladihiin.'
Laxda xariifadda waxay taqaanay inay ka wanaagsantahay in la aamino libaaxa, laakiin saaxibadeed aad ayay u oomanayeen sidaa darteedna waxay oggolaatay inay cabitaan u raacdo libaaxa. Laxda xariifadda ah waxay u digtay saaxiibadeed laakiin saaxibadeed ma ayna yeelin.
Sidaa darteedna libaaxu waxuu ku dagay laxda caws dheer asagoo balan qaadaya biyo nadiif ah. Libaaxu geesaha ayuu fiirfiiriyay si uu u hubiyo in ayna xayawaan kale jirin agagaarka inay caawiyaan laxda, markii uu hubiyayna inay kaligood yihiin wuu ku soo booday ayadoon iska jirin, waxuu ku xagxagay oo ku jeexjeexay cidiyihiisa fiiqan, waxuuna ka dhigtay cashadiisa.
Maalinkii danbe, markii saaxiibadeed ayna ku soo noqon xaynta, laxda xariifadda ah waxay yaqiinsatay in libaaxa xeesha badan uu cunay. 'waa toban ido ah bishan,'Nafteeda ayaa ku fakartay. 'Waa inaan sameeyaa wax si aan u joojiyo libaaxa xeel badanaha ah inta aanan waayin dhamaan saaxiibaday!'
Sidaa darteedna laxda xariifadda ah waxay ooga digtay intii xaynta ka hadhay libaaxa xeel badanaha ah iyo xeeladihiisa. Laakiin idaha nacasiinta ah ma ayna yeelin, waxaana la dhaafay asbuucyo iyo bilo, libaaxa xeel badanaha ah waxuu ku dagay ido badan oo badan cawska dheer asagoo balan qaadaya biyo nadiif ah. Waxayna ahayd halkaas in ay la kulmaan dhamaadka noolashooda.
Maalin, ayaa laxda xariifada ahi go'aansatay in la naaqusiyo asaga si wax loogu sameeyo libaaxa xeeelada badan iyo qaababka waxyeeladiisa.
Laxda xariifadda ahi waxaysugtay ilaa habeenku ka madoobaaday ka dibna waxay xamaaratay meel banaan oo ku xigta caws dheer. Markii ay hubisay in ay kaligeed tahay, waxay bilawday inay ka qoddo dhulka god aad u dheer. Markii ay tani qabsoontay, waxay sameysay dab weyn salka hoose ee godka ka dibna waxay ku dabooshay godka duur iyo caws sidaa darteed qiiqu wuu qarsoomay.
Laxda xariifadda ah waxay si dulqaad leh u sugtay ilaa waa barkii, markii ay cadceedu soo baxdayna waxay maqashay cod caan ah oo ka soo baxaya cawska dheer.
'Maxaad iigu imaan la dahay, laxdaadan yar. Waxaan aqaanaa bali biyo nadiif ah oo dhinaca keynta ah meeshaas ood ku raaxaysan biyo qabaw.'
Laxda xariifadda ah kama ayna dhaqaaqin meesheeda. Badalkiina, laxdu waxay tidhi, 'maxaad ooga soo bixi ladahay cawska dheer waxaanan ku tusi doonaa meel aad ka heli kartid ido badan inaad cuntid.'
Xaqiiqadii libaaxu waxuu ahaa mid xeelad badan, laakiin sidoo kale waxuu ahaa mid hunguri badan mana daba mari karin rabitaanka ah cunno badan.
'Ii imaw ,' ayay tidhi laxdii markale, 'waxaana ku tusi doonaa meesha ay xeyntu ku nooshahay.'
Waxuuna runtii, Libaaxu ooga soo tilaabsaday cawska dheer banaanka. Laakiin mar alaale markii uu ka soo dhaqaaqay cawska, waxuu ku dhacay godkii dheeraa waxuuna ku gubtay dab dhamac ah ooy u dhigtay laxda xariifadda ahi.
'Taasi waa dhamaadkii noolashaada iyo qaababka waxyeeladaadii,' ayay uurka ka tidhi laxda xariifadda ahi. 'Hadda anagoo ido ah waxaan ku joogi doonaa amaan, oogu yaraan muddo.
Markii ay laxdii xariifadda ahayd ku soo noqotay goobteedii waxay ooga warantay xeynta inteeda kale kuusheedii ay ka guulaysatay libaaxa. Dhamaantood way farxeen waxayna u hanbalyeeyeen saaxibadood, dhamaantoodna waxay waydiiyeen sida ay u awooday inay u disho libaaxa xeelada badan maadaama u yahay dugaag aad u weyn oo xoogan ayaduna ay tahay mid yar oo nugul.
'Way fududeed,'inay ka jawaabto laxda xariifadda ah, 'dhamaan waxa aan sameeyay waxay ahayd daawasho iyo barasho khaladka lagu sameynayo kuwa kale.'
Ka dib laxda xariifadda ahi waxay sii waday inay sharaxdo sidii ay u daawanaysay libaaxa xeelada badan ee ku dagayay saaxiibadeed keynta, sidoo kalena waxay sharaxday in ay tani keentay sida ay u baratay dabeecadda hunguri waynanka libaaxa.

I woke up today being such a negative nancy. I stayed up "late" to watch Iron Chef America because the guest chef picked my love Bobby Flay to battle against THUS I was a little sleepy this morning. And I was convinced today was going to be rough because this is the first full week back to work in a while. But you know what- today has been just fine. So get outta here, Monday blues.
I told you that last night Will and I made dinner together. I'm usually a control freak in the kitchen and do most of the cooking but I shared the reigns yesterday.
Will made a chicken recipe he's tried out before and I made sweet potato wedges and roasted cauliflower. No, Will and I didn't each eat three giant chicken breasts last night, but he wanted to make enough chicken to have leftovers and make some chicken salad for lunches during the week. Check him out- meal planning and stuff!
It was one good meal that's for sure. If you follow my blog and life regularly, you might be thinking- wait, doesn't Will work in NYC during the week? Why is he meal planning at home in DC? Welp. Long story short- his project was terminated earlier than expected and he's back in DC (yes- I am very happy). The whole NYC thing is now just a bizarre blurry dream of the past I guess.
So needless to say, this news has added an interesting twist to my day. Also entertaining me, because I'm easily distracted, are the buttons on my new sweater that I got from my Aunt for Christmas:
Talk about swanky. They make me feel pretty legit- not going to lie. I don't watch Downton Abbey, although I should, but these buttons make me think of that show. Just go with it.
On my lunch break I did my best to snap a picture of the full sweater. It's hard to see the details because I'm awful at mirror pictures but I dig it a lot. Thanks again, Auntie 🙂
Also on my lunch break- I had lunch! Go figure. I tried out my new flatout wraps for the first time.
I heated up a slice of provolone cheese and 4oz. of cooked chicken on the wrap and then topped it with 1/4 avocado, some grape tomatoes, spinach, green peppers, and onions.
It looks pretty well put together- right?
Wrong. Things were falling out all over the place. The wrap wasn't to blame though- I think it was the fact that I just put too much stuff in said wrap. My bad. But overall it was a pretty delicious lunch! I ate it with some grapes. Plus- I ate all the parts that fell out of the wrap with a drizzle of sriracha he he.
You may have noticed that I've been giving this "rooster sauce" a lot of love lately. I've always loved my spicy things and have been a regular abuser of Franks hot sauces BUT my friend Nick recently turned me on to sriracha, I don't know what I was doing before this stuff was in my life. Will got me The Sriracha Cookbook: 50 "Rooster Sauce" Recipes That Pack a Punch by Randy Clemens for Christmas and I got around to checking it out last night. I ended up learning A LOT about my new addiction:
- Sri Racha is a seaside city in Thailand 65 miles southeast of Bangkok
- The four flavors tasted in sriracha, spicy, salty, sour, and sweet, are mainstays in Thai cuisine.
- In Thailand, Nam prik Sriracha is a red paste made of peppers, garlic, vinegar, sugar, and salt
- The version in the U.S. (aka the bottle you see me posting about) was created by David Tran- a Vietnamese refugee who came to the U.S. in the 1970s.
- His chili sauce business was named "Huy Fong Foods" after the name of the ship that carried him out of Vietnam
- The rooster "mascot" is Tran's year on the Chinese zodiac
- Sriracha was never advertised and solely became popular through reputation and word of mouth
Huh. The more you know!
PLUS according to this infographic found on Food Beast and created by CookingSchools.net, Sriracha makes you happier, skinnier, and more amazing! Can ya believe it?! I'm on board the Huy Fong ship.
[Again, this infographic was pulled from Food Beast and created by CookingSchools.net]
Hopefully I've convinced some of you to try some of this addicting "rooster sauce." It is delicious- I swear. I tend to just add it to eggs, salads, ground turkey, burgers, sandwiches… and well… everything BUT here is an article you might find useful to get started with your own sriracha obsession: 25 Ways to Use Sriracha.

Reporters work primarily for newspapers, magazines and television stations. They typically receive assignments from editors, gather information on the assignment through research and interviews with sources, and then present it to viewers or readers. Reporters usually have a bachelor's degree in journalism, communications and broadcasting before finding employment. In some cases, reporters who work for a specialized magazine, newspaper or television channel might have a degree in a relevant content area. For example, a reporter of business news might have a degree in finance or economics.
National Pay
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, reporters earned an average annual salary of $45,120 as of May 2012. The lowest-paid 10 percent of reporters made $20,770 or less per year, while the highest-paid 10 percent made $78,530 or more. Half of all reporters reported annual earnings ranging from $26,500 to $53,260 per year.
Pay by Employer
Depending on the industry they work for, pay for reporters can vary significantly. While newspapers and magazines were the single largest employers of reporters as of 2012, they also offered a relatively low rate of pay, at an average of $40,590 per year. Radio and television reporters fared better, earning an average of $50,640 per year. Reporters employed in cable television averaged $57,050 per year, while those employed by other information services such as websites and newswires earned an average of $58,280 per year.
Pay by State
Considering that they headquarter much of the nation's television industry as well as several high-circulation magazines and newspapers, it is perhaps unsurprising that Washington, D.C. and New York reported the highest average salaries for reporters in 2012. Those employed in D.C. averaged $74,150 per year, according to the BLS. Reporters employed in New York averaged $62,140 per year. Other high-paying states for this occupation included Massachusetts at $61,420 and Rhode Island at $59,060. At the very opposite end of the pay scale was Nebraska, where reporters averaged only $25,420 per year.
Job Outlook
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the outlook for aspiring reporters is bleak. Due to declining circulation in newspapers and magazines and consolidation of television news agencies, the number of jobs for reporters is expected to decline by 8 percent from 2010 to 2020, leading to a loss of about 3,900 jobs. That compares to a 14 percent projected growth rate for all occupations. While the number of reporter jobs is decreasing, many people still express interest in entering the field, which means that those who aspire to become reporters should expect strong competition for available job openings, especially in large cities. Candidates who had formal internships or worked on school papers should have the best chances for employment.

This is a continuation-in-part application for copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/054,301 filed on Nov. 13, 2001 and entitled "Internet Strategic Brand Weighting Factor." The contents of this application are hereby incorporated by reference.
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/120,071 filed on even date herewith and entitled "Controlling Information Access by Bias Ranking of Search Results on a Web Browser."
The present invention relates to a system for customizing on-line service content presentations. More particularly, the present invention relates to brand weighting to offer product and services in a deterministic manner.
Typically, shoppers browse selections offered by participating on-line merchants by specifying criteria regarding the type of product they would like to find such as the manufacturers product features or price tags. Based on product attributes entered by the shopper into a browser, such as Netscape, the browser interrogates the databases of on-line merchants for the product attributes entered by the shopper into the system. The system ranks the products turned up by the database search based on ranking algorithms which take into consideration various ranking factors, such as the number of occurrences of terms in documents, the proximity of terms to one another within the documents, etc., and provides the products to the seller listed in order of their rank.
While this method helps shoppers locate products and services they desire, it limits the amount of control shoppers have over the shopping environment and experience. Generally speaking, for the same set of database interrogations, each of the shoppers would receive the same set of results and in the same order. To tailor the presentations to the shopper, a number of systems analyze the on-line behavior of the shopper to vary characteristics and elements of the displays presented to the shoppers to the individual shopper's preferences and needs. The shopper's characteristics that may be used to tailor the presentations would include previous data on stores visited, time of the visit, length of the visit, merchandise viewed, purchases made, frequency of visits, etc. In addition, as described in the above mentioned U.S. patent application, Ser. No. 10/054,301, a weighting factor can be added by a seller to promote certain products. The weighting factor is combined with existing ranking mechanisms to the documents to increase the probability that certain items come to the top when the search results are presented to the shopper. These pages could be used to ensure shoppers do not overlook special offers or to reduce overstocks by promoting products with a large inventory. The weighting factor is configured so as to not decrease the shoppers confidence in the ranking process. Internet service providers also can provide a vehicle for sellers to skew search results to promote products. U.S. Pat. No. 6,269,361B1 provides a scheme where bidding affects the ranking of search results of a network information provider.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new way for an on-line merchant to emphasize products to on-line purchases.
Another object of the invention is to provide a new way to express a consistent marketing strategy.
It is another object of the invention to provide a way for merchants to promote certain products and services while avoiding promotion schemes of other merchants.
In accordance with the present invention, a method, software and apparatus are provided which enable promotion of products and services in a deterministic manner free of conflicting actions modifying raw ranking data based on merchants interests. For this purpose, an information consolidator is provided to obtain search results for a plurality of sources including directly from merchants. When a shopper enters a set of key words in an entry field in an on-screen form for a web server to obtain a list of items (products and/or services) of interest to the shopper, the documents describing the items can be prioritized by the information provided by the information source based on the web sites owner's priorities. The information consolidator receives ranking information taking the highest ranked products and obtains the product information for the most highly ranked products. The information consolidator then reranks the products using a preferred ranking algorithm to remove information sources biases in this ranking of the products. The information consolidator can add weighting factors such as those covered in the copending applications by the merchant. The weighting factors are combined with the mentioned ranking mechanisms to the documents to increase the probability that certain items come to the top when the search results are presented to the shopper. These pages could be used to promote products or otherwise direct the selection shoppers. The weighting factors are configured so as to not decrease the shoppers confidence in the ranking process.
Referring now to
The shoppers' computers 100 are equipped with communications software, including a WWW browser such as the Netscape browser of Netscape Communications Corporation, that allows a shopper to connect and use on-line shopping services via the Internet. The software on a shopper's computer 100 manages the display of information received from the merchants to the shopper and communicates the shopper's actions back to the appropriate merchant servers 102 so that additional display information may be presented to the shopper or the shoppers selections acted on. The connections 106 to the network nodes of the Internet may be established via a modem or other means such as a cable connection.
Information regarding the merchant and the merchant's products is stored in a shopping database 108 to which the merchants servers 102 have access. This may be the merchants own database or a database of a supplier of the merchant. All product information accessible by the merchant servers that is publishable as web pages is indexed and a full-text index database 110 which records the number of occurrences of each of the words and their use in the location. In addition to the servers of individual merchants, there are the servers 114 of a plurality of search engine service providers web pages, such as Google of Google Inc., which maintain full text indexes 116 of the products of the individual merchants 102 a to 102 n obtained by interrogating the product information databases 108 of the individual merchants.
In accordance with the present invention, an information consolidator 120 is provided. An information consolidator obtains information from various ones of the merchant servers 102 and those of the search application service providers 114 and supplies it to a user. The information consolidator may be an independent source for data, or as shown by the dotted lines, associated with a merchant 102 a or be the user 100 a obtaining the data.
The information consolidator provides added value by modification of the data it receives from its sources. As pointed out, the ranking of data provided by the merchant or search application service provider varies from that provided by ranking elements either to be helpful to the user or to add biases of the data provider. For instance, the merchants and the search application service providers each may maintain a database of information about shoppers and their buying habits to customize on-line shopping for the shopper. Operations to accomplish a customized electronic shopping environment for the shopper include accumulating data regarding the shopper's preferences. Raw data relating to the electronic shopping options, such as specific sites and specific products selected by the shopper, entry and exit times for the sites, number of visits to the sites, etc., are recorded and processed by each merchant to create a shopping profile for the shopper. Raw data may then be processed to create a preference profile for the shopper. The profile may also include personal data or characteristics (e.g., age, address, hobbies) regarding the shopper as provided by the shopper when subscribing to the service. The data accumulated on the shoppers are placed in the shoppers profile database 112 or 118 of each of the merchants. Each individual shopper's profile in the databases of the merchants and the search application service providers can differ from one to another based on the particular merchant's or service providers experience with the shopper and their profiling software. Data collection may continue during searches made by the shopper so that up-to-date profile data for the shopper is obtained and used.
With information regarding the shopper involved in the shopping transaction, the merchant is able to meet the needs of the shopper, and the shopper is presented with the opportunity to view and purchase that merchandise that is most likely to be of interest since the merchant's products and services are directed toward those shoppers who have, either directly or indirectly, expressed an interest in them.
As shown in
Rank Factor Score=F(w % Tf+ % ×Popularity+y % LA+z % Up+ . . . ) (1)
Ranking algorithms may differ from one another and the Rank Factors Score generated from any given algorithm may not take into account all the rank factors listed above and may take into account other rank factors. The user of the data may have preferences for different factors or proportions than those provided by the merchants and search application providers.
Another factor that may skew the raw results of a search are introduction of biases of the search application provider or the merchant. For instance as pointed out, the above mentioned U.S. Patent provides for establishing an auction for ranking of data in which product sellers would bid for priority in presenting information turned up by a search. In addition in accordance with previously mentioned patent application No. 10/054,301, a strategic weighting factor (SWF) is used to promote one or more products of the merchant in accordance with the wishes of the product's merchant. For application of the weighting factor, an analysis must be done of terms found in documents that belong to common categories. To accomplish this, a document identifying the product must contain a number of words that commonly define the product. Such words are synonyms of the product and other words related to the products. For instance, the IBM Think Pad 550 product document would have words like laptop, thinkpad, notebook, companion computer, etc. Once identifying the product to be promoted and its document using the terms, the product document is given a weighting factor which varies from zero to one and it's stored in SWF database 308 as shown in
R=1−n (Rank Factors Score)+n(SWF Factor) (2)
As pointed out above, the first bracketed portion (Rank Factors Score) is a function F of the applied ranking factors such as the text factors Tf (including the number of occurrences of key words in documents, proximity of key words in documents, location of keywords in documents), and other ranking factors such as the documents' popularity (including the number of times a given document has be accessed by shoppers, number of incoming links to this documents, etc.) The second bracketed category (SWF factor) is the weighting factor provided by the merchant to emphasize products he is interested in selling or products which he thinks the shopper may be interested in and not accounted for by the other weighting factors relating to the shopper's preferences. It can be seen that the above formula not only takes into account the merchant's marketing desires but provides them as a portion of the weighting factors in the ranking so that the merchant's desires do not necessarily outweigh other considerations and may vary to critical importance to insignificance in the ranking consideration.
Usually, care taken not to overload the ranking by the SWF factor so that the shopper does not become confused by the presentation he receives relationship to his key word attributes. For instance, the value of 0.5 is selected for n when both the Rank Factors Score and the SWF range between 0 and 1. Another value for n may be more appropriate to maintain a proper relationship between the bracketed terms when other values are applied either by the algorithm or the merchant. Another factor to be avoided is the elimination of worthy candidates from the list by a lesser candidate having a high SWF Factor. This is eliminated by choosing the highest ranked products using the text ranking factors first then applying the SWF Factor after the application of the algorithmetic function so that the SWF Factor does not eliminate any of the worthy candidates but only changes the relative ranking of such worthy candidates.
A problem exists when too many of the worthy candidates has a SWF Factor greater than zero. If there are more than one product with the weighting factor, then the SWF is applied to the list of results taking into consideration multiple items with SWF greater than zero in step 312 in accordance with the process shown in
Referring now to
Besides the SWF and PWF databases 122 and 124, the information consolidator has a database 126 for storing full test indexes and product information for the products that turn up in the search. The consolidator 120 also has its own ranking algorithm database 128 containing the raw algorithm with the ranking factors preferred by the consolidator or its user to obtain the raw ranking data.
As shown in
Ranking algorithms of the consolidator are then applied to the products (step 712). Again it is determined if the PWF factor is involved (step 714). If it is, the PWF factor is added as described hereinafter in connection with
The products ranked by this process can include those with or without applicable PWF and SWF factors. As shown in
As shown in
The reranking module 804 fetches the search modification factors from the PWF module 806 and reranks hits by using the reranking algorithm and the modification factors generated by the PWF modules 806. To enable fast reranking (without the need to analyze the document contents) the returned hits should be accompanied with the statistical characteristics, like frequency and distribution of the query terms, that were used by the search engine to calculate the original rank of each hit. These parameters should be returned by a search service application as an integral part of search results. In other words, these parameters should be included in the API of search service applications. The user preference weight factor module consists of the key words and the weight numbers of the key words based on the user input. Based on the user preference and interest, different weight numbers will be assigned. The reranking algorithm applies the weight numbers to the original statistical characteristics for selected key words, and updates ranks of returned hits. The reranking algorithm can take in factors, such as those mentioned in connection with Formula (1), except the factors are those provided by the user not those perceived by a merchant or internet service provider. The reranked search results are then sent to the user for retrieval.
Above we have described one embodiment of the invention. Modification of this described embodiment of the invention may be made by those skilled in the art. Therefore the invention is not limited to the described embodiment but includes all variations within the spirit and scope of the claims.

Guy New To This!
Hey everyone!!
I'm new to the whole growing out my hair. My mom has been transitioning since last August and just recently big chopped her hair. I promised her I would grow my hair out along with her so she wouldn't go through the dramatic process alone. So I'm about 7 months. September will be a year for me.
I have 3c/4a textured hair..Its very tightly coiled and thick. I was wondering what you all would suggest I do to maybe loosen my curls, and get my hair much softer?
i noticed for me moisture was my main problem when transitioning...Which is kind of funny since my hair also is can be weighed down very easily. But, once i found the right oils for my hair as a pre-poo treatment i could see the dramatic difference. As well as find an a staple leave-in.

Bullpen is Stellar in 6-5 Loss
By Brandon Marcus, Director of Broadcasting / Burlington Bees | April 29, 2013 5:47 PM ET
The Burlington Bees (8-12) got six scoreless innings out of their bullpen, but the Dayton Dragons (8-16) scored six early runs, which lifted them to a 6-5 win on Monday night at Fifth Third Field.
Cameron Bedrosian, Kurt Spomer and Joey Krehbiel were phenomenal on Monday, giving the Bees their best bullpen performance of the season, but the Bees offense could not muster enough runs, falling just short in a loss.
Burlington trailed 6-4 entering the ninth and threatened to tie the game after Chevy Clarke singled to start the inning and came home on a one-out single by Brennan Gowens. Dragons manager Jose Nieves went to Ben Klimesh to get the final two outs and Klimesh delivered for his manager, striking out both Anthony Bemboom and Kevin Moesquit.
The Dragons got the scoring started in the second, scoring three runs off of Brandon Love (1-2). Love got the first two outs of the frame, but allowed five straight hits with two outs, the big blow coming on a two-run home run by Tanner Rahier. Zach Vincej also had a RBI single in the inning.
The lead did not last as the Bees answered right back with three in the third against Drew Cisco. Cisco allowed back-to-back singles to Gowens and Sandy Martinez to start the inning. Moesquit followed with a sacrifice fly to bring home Gowens. Kyle Johnson's double put two men on for Sherman Johnson, who delivered a two-run double to tie the game.
Love allowed the first five men to reach in the third, including a two-run home run from Jesse Winker. Love allowed six runs in two-plus innings, giving up eight hits and two walks in the loss.
Andrew Ray belted his third home run of the year in the fourth to bring the Bees to within two, but after both teams exchanged zeroes in the fifth through eighth innings, the Bees rally fell short in the ninth.
The Dragons and Bees will meet in the rubber match of the series on Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. Jake Boyd will make his first professional start when he takes on Sal Romano.

NASCAR is racing for the first time since 1970 on dirt at Eldora Speedway. The trucks race at the Ohio based track on Wednesday, July 24. The idea has four time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon questioning if its time to shake up the NASCAR schedule and add in changes at the Cup level itself. Gordon said he is a fan of mid-week racing, "I would love to see that," Gordon said. "I think when "Monday Night Football' ends, we should start "Monday Night Racing.' But that is just me. Of course I came from "Thursday Night Thunder,' and … [it] was ridiculously successful back in the day. "I am not saying we need to do it every week, but if we could find the right week in the schedule and mix it up, make it special, and make it make sense for the fans at home as well as the ones that could attend, then I think it would be awesome." Gordon has not been met with open arms though, "It seems like every time I talk to NASCAR about doing a weekly race or one mid-week, they say 'Oh well if you do it on

Britney Spears On the Verge of Huge Vegas Payout
She may be sans fiancé, but Britney Spears is about to score a huge payday if her Vegas deal goes through.
According to reports, the "Toxic" singer could earn well over $100 million for her contract. Last year, Celine Dion nabbed a $100 million deal for 210 shows over the next three years.
Daren Libonati, president and COO of the Justice Entertainment Group dished to E! News it wouldn't be unheard of for an act like Britney to gross $2 million a week at a place like Caesar's palace.
According to Libonati, " Deals such as this are based on scale. That's a very basic guess on what such a deal might look like. It could be even more."

The Last Christmas Card (edition 2011)
by Laura Briggs, Sarah Steinbrenner
Work details
The Last Christmas Card by Laura Briggs
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A good friend of mine told me that this story would make a great Hallmark movie and as I was reading it I could picture each scene in the movie. It was an endearing story of two people searching for folks from the past to give them a Christmas card that strangely got lost until years later. Samantha Sowerman has just moved into an old house being made into apartments. She lives in the present (2012) but in her mail receives a Christmas card dated from December, 1944. It was sent to a Bette Larsen from a soldier in the war by the name of Mac Hydberg. The note on the card leads Samantha on a quest to see if the sender of the card or the lady it was being sent to can be found so she can deliver it to them. She seeks the help of Tyler Lars, from Veteran Affairs office, who has had to take a "desk job" since being injured in Iraq from a land mine. Tyler as first doesn't want anything to do with helping Samantha, but her persistance pays off and they begin the search. As they search, they also begin to get to know one another and so the romance begins.
This book had a nice story line to it and I enjoyed reading of the quest to find these two older folks. Samantha and Tyler seemed like real people who had a heart for others, although Tyler liked to keep his emotions from showing by seeming harsh and uncaring. It was a nice story to read around Christmas, and maybe someday I will see it as a Hallmarkc movie!
Card gone lost for 60 some years, found by a woman, and she finds her man, not that great.
Samantha Sowerman is a missionary who's returned home until she gets her paperwork ready to go to Brazil. One day in the mail she receives a letter addressed to someone who used to live there but the postmark is over 60 years old. She feels compelled to find it's rightful owner. She steams open the inside to see if there is any helpful information. She finds a tender and heartfelt message from a soldier to his sweetheart. She decides the best place to start would be the military base. Sergeant Ty Lars is a soldier sent home from the war because of an injury that caused him to now work behind a desk. He is lonely and bitter, not really having a purpose in life anymore. When Samantha enlists Ty's help in the finding the owner of the card they know they will need a Christmas miracle to do that. Could it be that they just might find their own Christmas miracle along the way?
What an enjoyable story! I've not read anything by this author before but the storyline sounded very intriguing. Boy I'm sure glad I gave it try. It's a story that's very easy to read and keeps you turning pages to find out how it all turns out. It reads very much like a Christmas movie you might find on Hallmark this time of year. Though it was a short story (about 77 pages) it felt liked a full-length one to me. It didn't seem hurried at all. I really liked the lead couple. Samantha was an upbeat gal whose faith made a difference in the life of a brooding soldier named Ty. It just made me reflect that we have an impact on people and we need to always be conscience of that in light of how we behave. Some of the parts in this story were so touching to me I found myself getting the Kleenex. If you're looking for a good holiday read, I would recommend you pick up The Last Christmas Card. I'm sure glad I did!

Unlike most hydrangeas, this one blooms on both old and new growth. So if winter freezes the flowerbuds or your oafish husband cuts them off, it'll bloom anyway and continue through summer. Acid soil gives you powder blue flowers; alkaline soil turns them pink. 'Mini Penny' is compact, slowly growing 3 to 4 feet tall and wide―perfect for small gardens and containers.
PRESCRIPTION FOR SUCCESS: Prefers full morning sun and light afternoon shade. Provide moist, well-drained, fertile soil. Trim off old blooms to keep new ones coming. Avoid caffeine if your excitement grows extreme.
When your yard puts you to sleep faster than C-SPAN, our garden editors' top picks are a shot of espresso.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Good pic, Blu... the fitting I described could easily slide right down to the mast step plate.. the bar/rod that makes up the in-the-track part is of course drilled for the bolts shown. If the back of the track is drilled for overlength bolts then the fitting cannot slide under load either. It's also important that the outer section properly overlaps and 'clamps' the edge of the sailtrack extrusion. Your section is quite a teardrop shape by the look of it so take care that that outer section fits well. Otherwise there's a potential for the inside bar to squeeze itself out of the track. In other words don't rely on the strength of the sail track extrusion alone.
The one negative I see is, if the bar cannot slide down past your gooseneck and boom kicker fittings, you'll need another exit slot on the track.
If you have access to a machinist these parts are easily made (we've done that) and I think Sparcraft produces cast aluminum versions. The beauty is that if properly selected and installed this type of fitting gives you a solid attachment without drilling holes in bad places.
Cool move Faster, looks like that could work. I was worried that the track could not handle the load of a vang but, thinking about it with the right hardware that could work, wonder if it should be made out of aluminum : Also when I get around to running my lines aft I think the big mast step I have would be good to mount padeyes for the blocks, I think drilling and tapping into the step with heavy hardware for the blocks to connect to would be better than putting a stainless mast step under my mast. Here is a pic of my mast and step sorry it's bad but I looked through a bunch and this is the best one
PS you can see the marks I made for the boomkicker (it's itstalled now), the vang needs to attach lower to get the right angle to the boom.
There are other options, but of the ones you've cited, attaching something to the plate that forms your mast step seems best to me... Keep in mind that these fitting can end up being heavily loaded and should be chosen and installed accordingly.
There are fittings available, too, that fit into your extruded sail track on the mast if you have an appropriate mast section. The drawing below is an attempt to illustrate one version... perhaps it will help you to see what I mean.
vang attachment
Hello sail guys and gals, time to rig up a boom vang. I have a Bombay Clipper31 with mid boom sheeting and a boomkicker but no vang. The issue I am struggling with is the attachment parts to the boom and mast. Seems like on the boom a boom bail such as the pic would be okay but putting a big hole in the boom is not my first choice maybe the hound style would be okay? Now the mast, no way am I drilling a big hole thru the base of my mast to attach a bail, no way. I thought about putting a mast organizer or mast step under the mast but, they all seem to be stainless and the people that built my boat put an aluminum mast step, which makes sense to me, I don't want my mast corroding to dust so putting a stainless steel step won't work. One idea would be to mount heavy pad eyes into the mast step, it's got lots of room about three inches all around mast. I know that the stresses put on the bolts will be putting an upward pull on the bolts so I don't think that is best either. Can you all give me some more options.

National Unemployed Workers' Movement
The National Unemployed Workers' Movement was a British organisation set up in 1921 by members of the Communist Party of Great Britain. It aimed to draw attention to the plight of unemployed workers during the post World War I slump, the 1926 General Strike and later the Great Depression, and to fight the Means Test.
The NUWM became the foremost body responsible for organising the unemployed on a national basis in the interwar period, these years being characterised by high levels of unemployment. A central element of its activities was a series of hunger marches to London, organised in 1922, 1929, 1930, 1932, 1934 and 1936.[1] The largest of these was the National Hunger March, 1932, that was followed by days of serious violence across central London with 75 people being badly injured,[2] which in turn led directly to the formation of the National Council for Civil Liberties.[3]
To the dismay of many within the wider labour movement, the Labour Party and the official trades union bodies offered little support to the legions of unemployed workers during this period. The Trades Union Congress and the National Executive Council advised Labour parties and trades councils along the route of the Jarrow Crusade not to help the marchers, although local branches were more generous.
The NUWM was founded by Wal Hannington, and led in Scotland by Harry McShane. From 1921 until 1929 it was called the National Unemployed Workers' Committee Movement. It suspended activity in 1939, at the outbreak of World War II, and the decision of wind it up was taken in 1943. It was finally dissolved in 1946.
Over the years there have been several attempts to revive the union, one of the latest around 1992/1993.

My husband installed and connected the oven yesterday, and we turned it on this afternoon to heat up a pizza! (I know, I know, not the FIRST thing I wanted to do with my oven, but still!) I'm going to bake a pan of brownies after dinner.
I'm a little miffed that my oven is connected on what has turned out to be one of the hottest days of the year thus far, but I really don't care; I'm back to baking, People! My world is coming back together!!
