I've had a few rejections of late and have looked closely at each logo. There are a couple in particular which imo should not be rejected, especially as I have simplified them now.
I personally think it just comes down to the reviewer and sometimes their taste in logo's. I've submitted some varying style of logo's, and what I consider to be better designs often get rejected while the poorer designs get passed. I've read the GR logo guidelines over and over but theres no obvious reason for designs to be rejected sometimes, it really is frustrating.
I would say this about your logo…
As much as I like the design there are a lot of 'PLAY' symbols on the marketplace and I'm not sure it is anything different from what is already available? It's a nice logo, just not sure it's sufficiently different.
And they still got hard rejected!
No idea why now that all the fine lines are gone??? It's not as if the market place is overloaded with Lionheart logo's and lynx logo's!
Why can't the reviewer just come out and say a reason?
NCDesigner said
hahahahahahaahahahaaaahahhaahhaha logo
Take a look at your own portfolio before laughing at other peoples work NCDesigner!
Keep at it Creativology! As the other guys say, try and simplify the logo, take away outlines and shadow under lettering etc.
I have re submitted the files after close inspection! I gave thickened up the fine lines and removed the whiskers all together on the Lion heart logo, and I have thickened thickened the lines on the lynx, including a couple very fine lines in the ear!
Fingers crossed this passes this time, I cannot see any logical reason it wouldn't!
Ah I see the link has been removed, but I was only comparing the style of the lines! Which was very similar in line style to my logo's above yet approved! It was a very nice logo, but it just made me wonder why my logo was rejected after initially thinking it was due to line weight?
It would be good to have a solid answer on why some of my recent designs have been hard rejected??? It looks to me as these designs might be rejected by a reviewer one day, and approved by a different reviewer the next?
WHAT TO DO NOW??? Do slightly change the design making the lines heavier? This will alter the style slightly but could well get approved! Or is this just going to be a complete waste of my time and the logo is being rejected for another reason???
Yes different reviewers have different opinions, but surely they should flag up logo's with fine lines but are a good standard rather than just Hard Reject so you can't upload again?
I'm gutted about a few recent logo's being rejected, especially as I've spent long periods designing them!
OK just as an example… how does this logo get accepted?
[Link Removed. Please do not call out other authors or items on the forums. Thanks! ^TK] For the record I really like the example logo, I'm just choosing something similar in line work!!!
Surely there has to be a standard for all designs??? It makes no sense why mine are not accepted yet this one is???
I have had 5-6 logo's rejected recently, some of which I look at and think OK, but 2 of my recent ones I have no idea why?
Could it be because the line work is to fine???
I am getting a little dejected at putting hours into logo's and having them rejected especially when I see some of the poor repetitive logo's I see being accepted.
It would really help on hard rejections for a reason, but I accept that won't happen.
Here are the 2 logo's in question:
And here's a more detailed image:
Any help would be most appreciated.
Shocking Month, 3 sales to for a measly $12!!! I'm usually hitting the $100+ mark at this stage, wtf is going on?

U.S. rejects Canada's claim that Volcker rule violates NAFTA
By Jonathan Spicer
NEW YORK May 14 (Reuters) - The White House has dismissed the Canadian government's claim that a ban on some proprietary trading on Wall Street violates a free-trade agreement, saying it has the legal right to protect its financial system.
The U.S. response came after Canadian Finance Minister Joe Oliver said on Wednesday that the so-called Volcker rule's ban on U.S. banks' use of their own money to trade Canadian government bonds probably did not comply with the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The rule, adopted in 2010 but delayed in implementation, is meant to curb the risky proprietary trading blamed for worsening the 2007-2009 financial crisis, which led to bailouts of highly leveraged Wall Street banks by the U.S. government.
"The Volcker Rule is clearly not a violation of NAFTA or any other trade agreement, all of which explicitly safeguard the ability of the United States to protect the integrity and stability of our financial system," a U.S. Treasury spokeswoman said in an email.
The "prudential" rule protects "taxpayers and the depth, liquidity, and stability of U.S. capital markets," Treasury said. "NAFTA does not weaken our ability to implement Wall Street reform now or in the future, and neither would any trade agreement we're negotiating."
Sensitive to the politics of international trade pacts, U.S. President Barack Obama's administration is embroiled in a battle with Congress to seal a trade deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Under the Volcker rule, U.S. banks could not do proprietary trading of non-U.S. government debt, including Canadian sovereign bonds, unless they meet certain exceptions.
Canada is trying to retain a deep market of demand for its debt. Standard & Poor's rates it AAA, higher than U.S. debt at AA+. Continuación...

text: WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A star thought to have passed the age at which it can form planets may in fact be creating new worlds. The disk of material surrounding the surprising star called TW Hydrae may be massive enough to make even more planets than we have in our own solar system. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO) The findings were made using the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Telescope, a mission in which NASA is a participant. At roughly 10 million years old and 176 light years away, TW Hydrae is relatively close to Earth by astronomical standards. Its planet-forming disk has been well studied. TW Hydrae is relatively young but, in theory, it is past the age at which giant plants already may have formed. "We didn't expect to see so much gas around this star," said Edwin Bergin of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Bergin led the new study appearing in the journal Nature. "Typically stars of this age have cleared out their surrounding material, but this star still has enough mass to make the equivalent of 50 Jupiters," Bergin said. In addition to revealing the peculiar state of the star, the findings also demonstrate a new, more precise method for weighing planet-forming disks. Previous techniques for assessing the mass were indirect and uncertain. The new method can directly probe the gas that typically goes into making planets. Planets are born out of material swirling around young stars, and the mass of this material is a key factor controlling their formation. Astronomers did not know before the new study whether the disk around TW Hydrae contained enough material to form new planets similar to our own. "Before, we had to use a proxy to guess the gas quantity in the planet-forming disks," said Paul Goldsmith, the NASA project scientist for Herschel at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif. "This is another example of Herschel's versatility and sensitivity yielding important new results about star and planet formation." Using Herschel, they were able to take a fresh look at the disk with the space telescope to analyze light coming from TW Hydrae and pick out the spectral signature of a gas called hydrogen deuteride. Simple hydrogen molecules are the main gas component of planets, but they emit light at wavelengths too short to be detected by Herschel. Gas molecules containing deuterium, a heavier version of hydrogen, emit light at longer, far-infrared wavelengths that Herschel is equipped to see. This enabled astronomers to measure the levels of hydrogen deuteride and obtain the weight of the disk with the highest precision yet.

SAEs with glosso?
I've got some SAE's that are getting fairly large and aggressive, though they are still eating lots of algae.
I've also got a new glosso carpet that for some reason is having difficulty rooting. Large chunks of it are becoming detached. I do see the SAEs rooting around in the gloss for stuff to eat, but I'm not sure that this is enough to cause the uprooting I see.
Does anybody else have SAEs that do or do not molest their carpet plants?
100% positive it's a SAE?
I expected my SAE to start eating my mosses, but hasn't damaged them in any way yet.

Tokyo stocks jumped 1.88 percent Friday morning, driven by a weaker yen after the frontrunner to become Japan's next prime minister said he would push for aggressive central bank easing.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index at the Tokyo Stock Exchange was up 166.19 points at 8,995.91 by the break while the broader Topix index of all first-section shares rose 1.55 percent, or 11.41 points, to 748.92.
Japan's main opposition leader Shinzo Abe, tipped to be next prime minister after a December 16 election, on Thursday called for "unlimited" easing by the Bank of Japan (BoJ), and vowed to strike a deal with the central bank over further policy measures if he snatches the country's top political job.
The comments from Abe, who is also seen by investors as business friendly, pushed the yen down on speculation of further easing, which tends to weigh on a national currency.
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda was to dissolve the lower house of parliament later Friday ahead of the elections, "giving the market a sentiment boost as it continues to factor in more aggressive BOJ easing", Kenichi Hirano, market analyst at Tachibana Securities, told Dow Jones Newswires.
Abe, leader of the main opposition Liberal Democratic Party, was tipped to unseat Noda and his Democratic Party of Japan as the ruling party's fortunes have sunk in opinion polls.
Hopes that further easing would inject new life in the slowing Japanese economy, the world's third-largest, helped the Tokyo market buck overnight falls on Wall Street and Europe's main stock markets.
The falls were driven by weak forecasts from US retailers, and news that the eurozone had fallen into recession, traders said.
Worries over a budgetary deadlock in Washington and rising tensions in the Middle East as Israel launched a new air assault on Gaza also weighed on sentiment.
In Tokyo trade, exporter Canon rose 5.13 percent to 2,680 yen and Honda Motor climbed 4.21 percent to 2,569 yen.
On currency markets, the yen remained weak after tumbling on Thursday following Abe's easing comments.
The dollar bought 81.13 yen in Tokyo trade, sharply up from the 80.20 yen level a day earlier, and almost unchanged from 81.16 yen in New York late Thursday.
The euro bought 103.61 yen against 102.17 yen in Asia a day earlier and 103.69 yen in US trade, while the common currency bought $1.2774 against $1.2778 in New York.

I am working on a baby blanket right now and it is soooo tedious. I am kicking myself for using baby acrylic. (Knitting for a vegan family, no wool, boohoo).
I keep thinking I wish I'd held the yarn double (ie different pattern) so I could be done faster. What would it look like if you held one each of 2 different colored strands?
Just things I'm musing about to pass the time as I knit this biiiig blanket. :knitting: Next time - booties.:teehee:
You'd need to use bigger needles so it won't be stiff, and less stitches to get the same size, but it would go a lot faster and give a tweedy or variegated look to the yarn.
Yes, definitely bigger needles... Now I am so curious imagining this tweedy yarn that I might have to knit up a swatch. AFTER I finish this never-ending blanket!
Are there mischievous knitting elves that come in the night and rip 10 rows out of this thing? Actually I guess that wouldn't be an elf, what is that called, a creature that un-does work that's been done? I am blanking on it.
I can only think of Penelope who wove by day then ripped out her work at night since the suitors eating & drinking her out of house & home had agreed to wait until she had finished her father-in-law's shroud to force her to choose one of them to marry. After 4 years they figured it out.
[FONT="Book Antiqua"][FONT="Fixedsys"][INDENT][SIZE="1"] 'So spake she, and our high hearts consented thereto. So then in the day time she would weave the mighty web, and in the night unravel the same, when she had let place the torches by her. Thus for the space of three years she hid the thing by craft and beguiled the minds of the Achaeans; but when the fourth year arrived and the seasons came round, then at the last one of her women who knew all declared it, and we found her unravelling the splendid web. Thus she finished it perforce and sore against her will. But as for thee, the wooers make thee answer thus, that thou mayest know it in thine own heart, thou and all the Achaeans! Send away thy mother, and bid her be married to whomsoever her father commands, and whoso is well pleasing unto her. But if she will continue for long to vex the sons of the Achaeans, pondering in her heart those things that Athene hath given her beyond women, knowledge of all fair handiwork, yea, and cunning wit, and wiles—so be it! Such wiles as hers we have never yet heard that any even of the women of old did know, of those that aforetime were fair-tressed Achaean ladies, Tyro, and Alcmene, and Mycene, with the bright crown. Not one of these in the imaginations of their hearts was like unto Penelope, yet herein at least her imagining was not good. For in despite of her the wooers will devour thy living and thy substance, so long as she is steadfast in such purpose as the gods now put within her breast: great renown for herself she winneth, but for thee regret for thy much livelihood. But we will neither go to our own lands, nor otherwhere, till she marry that man whom she will of the Achaeans.'[/SIZE][/INDENT][/FONT][/FONT]-- Homer, The Odyssey: Book II
I knitted a little poncho with 2 colors held together. I did have to rip out a time or two to get the color combination right but it turned out cute.
Sorry for the ravelry picture but the actual picture is on a different computer.
Two colors can come out nice or just the opposite. Do a little swatch to test the color combination.
Most of the knitting I've done in the last little while has been with 2 strands held together. I usually have them in separate bowls on the floor and just pull them up as I need them. There's a bit of tangling but not too much with this method.I tried winding the two balls into one but found it was just easier to do it the other way.When I do two yarns together it is usually because the yarn I have is not the recommended weight that the pattern calls for. Putting two together often solves this problem... and, depending on what you are looking for, you can have two different colours so that they bounce off each other or two that compliment each other very well.So far I have combined a dark yellow with a varigated green in a hat. They look so nice together.But I have a lot of gray and black I'm knitting up to de-stash and they look really good together as well.One of the best things, I think, about using two strands together is the surprise you get at the end of the knitting from the patterns the two have formed. So lovely...TEMA :knitting:
[Shameless Plug]The blankets that are being knit for the Oddball Pet Snuggle Blanket project in the Charity Knitting forum are all two strands of two different color yarns held together. There are lots of finished and in progress photos in the thread if you would like to see some examples.
In these projects, the blankets are each made with five different color combinations, each made up of two different colored yarns.
Here's are a few that were recently completed and donated to local pet shelters by the last knitter of each blanket:
[/Shameless Plug]
Are you talking about the baby sport weight? They say the proper needle is about a 3. But I've knitted sweaters and blankets with it as high as a 7 and it's been okay, if that helps.

Re: aulonocaras females 2
The only thing I can say is "yes, they are female Aulonocara". Which exact species? No idea. Most Aulonocara females look very similar (in some cases even the same), and it's near impossible to tell them apart. At least not for me
Re: aulonocaras females 2
Yes they are females aulonocara and for the body shape I would say that they are from the stuargranti family, but quite difficult to say the specific specie.

If we have worked together or if you are someone I will work with, then I will accept you. If you are only looking to add numbers, please go away.
Unless I have worked with you before, and we worked well together, the details of the shoot are not to change 5 minutes after I arrive. I'm a very creative person, but I prefer to be prepared for a shoot and I like knowing what to expect prior to arrival.
Also, it should go without saying, but no personal checks. Thank you.

'Goliath's' Missing Pieces
Posted on Nov 20, 2013
Cowardice. That's the reason why I, a Jewish journalist, avoid writing about Israel. It's a loser, my points buried amid the give-no-quarter arguments of supporters of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's aggressiveness and the portions of the American left hostile to Israel. Who needs it?
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
One of my most unpleasant experiences occurred in 2006, after I had retired from the L.A. Times, when I was on a panel discussion put on by the Women's Alliance for Israel. The subject was the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict. On the panel with me was David Lauter, then the deputy foreign editor of the Los Angeles Times. Although the religiously observant Lauter was wearing a yarmulke, it didn't stop the audience from going after his scalp for his paper's "anti-Israel" coverage. Afterward, I wrote in my column in The Jewish Journal, "I've spoken to many groups all over Los Angeles during extremely volatile times. I've never seen such rudeness, narrow mindedness and just plain boorishness."
Then, there are my own opinions. They are deeply held and personal, and I don't enjoy getting into arguments about them, especially with the vituperative types who dominate the Israel debate. My feelings toward Israel and Judaism have been shaped by a grandfather who was an original Zionist; by cousins born and raised in Israel; and by a strong identification with the American Jewish community, even though I share few of the beliefs of its more religious members. My parents influenced me, as has what I've read, along with a visit to my Israeli relatives. Finally, I believe in a two state solution for Israel, with Jews and Arabs living in side-by-side countries. This appears to be an increasingly unpopular view.

"Goliath" is an important book, although I disagree with much of it. Blumenthal has taken an exhaustive look at the lives of Palestinians pushed around, often brutalized, by an Israeli government that treats them as a subject, even captive, people. "I have interviewed leaders of Israeli political parties and leaders of Palestinian protests," Blumenthal writes in his preface. "These are the stories of people living under a regime of separation, grappling with the consequences of ethnic division in a land with no defined borders." This was a difficult task, and the fact that "Goliath" has been ignored so far by mainstream publications is distressing. The results of Blumenthal's intensive reporting should be read and discussed as a valuable contribution to understanding a dispute that has gone on for many years, possibly back to biblical times.
He accompanied Palestinians and peace movement Israelis into Palestinian villages and witnessed the conduct of Israeli troops and police. He described assaults on protesters in the village of Ni'lin: "The soldiers let loose a volley of teargas on the demonstrators, filling the skies with large rubber coated projectiles designed to bounce after hitting the ground, scattering gas in all directions." He fell back and talked to an Israeli lawyer who represented Palestinian demonstrators. The lawyer had been hit in the head with a rubber bullet in a demonstration in 2008 and after several operations, still suffered from memory loss and impaired vision. Blumenthal saw an Israeli soldier armed with an M-16 headed toward them. They fled to a hillside and watched soldiers fire more tear gas.
Blumenthal also digs into the links between Netanyahu's right-wing government, the American Christian right and the pro-Likud elements of the American Jewish community. This reached a peak during the last presidential election, with the Israeli prime minister all but campaigning for Mitt Romney and against President Barack Obama. Blumenthal adds details to this narrative, especially his exposure of GOD-TV, a Jerusalem based cable TV network that blends "New World Order conspiracism with Greater Israel Zealotry."
For all that, "Goliath" is a one-sided piece of journalism, arguing against the existence of a Jewish state. Blumenthal puts quotes around the word independence when referring to Israel's founding in 1948 and when he talks about "a Jewish and democratic state." Nor does he acknowledge Hezbollah shelling of Jewish settlements or terrorist attacks on Jewish civilians.
Words count, something that has been forgotten as coarse language is flung around without thought on Twitter, text messages, cable news talk shows and so-called journalistic websites desperate for clicks. Blumenthal describes Israelis, unless they agree with him, in brief, degrading ways more suited for social media than a serious book.
Cheap shots abound. Netanyahu is characterized as a "slick talking, basso-profound ideologue hoping to consolidate himself as King of Israel." At Ben Gurion Airport, Blumenthal found a "neurotic mood of ethnic suspicion." Hamas fighters go out on a "daring mission." Israeli soldiers are either brutal or gutless. Told how soldiers were ordered into ground action after the kidnapping of Cpl. Gideon Shalit, Blumenthal wrote, "I imagined the terror the fresh-faced conscripts must have felt at being exposed at close quarters for the first time to a guerrilla force they were used to shelling from inside the comfort of an air-conditioned tank."

Daniel Hood was implicated in the sexual assault of a female relative when he was 13 years old. He didn't conduct the assault but contributed to it by helping bind the victim, then watching as an older boy performed the awful deed.
Six years have passed since then, and Hood insists he is a different person. School officials at Catholic agree so emphatically that Kiffin Tuesday signed him to a college scholarship, almost three months to the day after most prospects cast their lots on National Signing Day.
"We didn't go about this lightly," Kiffin explained in a prepared statement. "We spent a lot of time researching the issue and talking to a lot of people who are well respected in the community. Everyone spoke very highly of Daniel. He's a very bright young man who wants to move past this incident and be a good representative for the team, the university and the community."
Hood was tried as a juvenile, found by a jury to be delinquent and placed in the custody of the Department of Children's Services. Following completion of a rehabilitation program in Dandridge, he was placed in a Knoxville group home. Eventually, he was allowed to enroll at Catholic High, where he reportedly blossomed both as a person and as a football player.
College recruiters were hot on his trail heading into his senior season. Then, as news leaked out about his role in the 2003 assault case, he dropped off the radar. Undaunted, the 6-5, 255-pound tight end/defensive end led the Irish to their first-ever state title, earning Class 3A Mr. Football recognition for his efforts.
Determined to continue his education and his football career, Hood applied to Tennessee in February and met with Kiffin. Naturally, the Vols' new head man insisted on getting all of the facts and weighing them carefully before determining a course of action.
According to published reports, the victim of the 2003 assault wrote a letter urging UT to accept Hood, who apparently matured dramatically in recent years – finding religion and posting a 3.8 grade-point average at Catholic.
After carefully weighing the evidence, UT officials decided to accept Hood's request for admission. Athletics director Mike Hamilton noted in a prepared statement that "Daniel made a terrible mistake a number of years ago and was involved in a very bad thing. He's very remorseful and has worked hard to turn his life around. Catholic High gave him a second chance, and he lived up to expectations. We feel like he has earned the chance to continue that."
In giving Hood a chance, Kiffin is taking a big chance with his own reputation. Taking chances is nothing new for college football coaches, of course.
But this time the stakes are a lot higher.

2 Minutes With Bastien Salabanzi - A 33MAG Exclusive Interview
Visiting Montreal for the first time last July at the Jackalope festival, I had the chance to meet one of my favorite skateboarders: Bastien Salabanzi! I knew how talented he was, because like everyone else, I have seen his video parts in movies like Sorry. Really Sorry, They do not give a fuck about us, etc, but seriously, this is the real Bastien! Turns out he's also an excellent guitarist, inspired by Stevie Ray Vaughan among others.
With a 3-year contract in place with Street League and several power moves in the works, Bastien is preparing for his comeback onto the international scene! Here's what he had to tell us:
33MAG: Hi Bastien, you've recently talked about a project with The Berrics, it is still in the plans?

There's a lot of speculation on your next board partner, what are the companies that have approached you?
Level sponsors boards but nothing concrete for now ...
What has happened since the final Street League? Have you been skating a lot?
Since the last Street League, I mostly did a lot of music.
I saw on your FB page that you also had recently left your band. Do you already have new projects? Have you taken the time to play with the guitar you bought in Montreal?

That said, here goes... and sorry for lack of illustrations, which are referenced by numbers and letters in the following text.
Remove side fairings, front surround, unplug lower display, remove tank cover to expose coolant filler cap.
[Edit]: Vincent Vega reports that "it can be done by just removing the right side air intake. I just had to use a funnel with a tube attached to refill."
This operation must only be carried out when the engine is cold. Attempting to change the coolant with the engine hot could lead to burns from hot coolant or scalding steam.
Place a container under the engine and place the motorcycle on its side stand.
Remove the expansion reservoir filler cap (1).
Loosen clip (2), disconnect the hose (3) and drain the coolant inside a container.
[This is the overflow hose that attaches to the top of the filler neck, just below the cap. to drain it you must either reroute the hose, or use a pump or siphon to draw out the coolant.]
Loosen the cap (4) of the fluid exhaust hole placed on the pump cover.
[This is the drain plug on the side of the water pump]
Allow the coolant to drain off completely.
[I found that the most complete drain requires disconnecting one hose from the thermostat as well as the lower water pump hose - the one that feeds the horizontal cylinder.]
Screw plug (4) with a seal again in the fluid drain hole, and recover the new seal (5).
[This means put the drain plug and its washer back into the pump; they suggest installing a new washer, but I reused mine without trouble]
Tighten the plug (4) to a torque of 20 Nm (Min. 18 Nm - Max. 22 Nm) (Sect. 3 - 3, Engine torque settings).
[If changing coolant types, I suggest refilling the system with distilled water and running the engine briefly; then draining again.]
Refill the circuit by pouring new coolant into the circuit via the remote filler cap (6).
Connect the [overflow] pipe (3) by tightening the clamp (2) to a torque of 1 Nm ±10% (Sect. 3 - 3, Frame torque settings).
Allow several minutes for the coolant to fill all the internal passages.
Start up the engine and allow the coolant to reach 110 °C; run the engine for about 10 minutes.
[Plug in the lower display first.]
Stop the engine and allow it to cool down so that all the air is expelled from the cooling circuit.
[Note, they don't tell you to reinstall the filler cap. I think most people probably would, but I did not, and I would not in the future. Although it makes a heck of a mess when coolant starts belching and splashing out as the engine heats up, I found that a LOT of air came out and I ended up adding a great amount of coolant during this procedure. I do not see how simply capping the system, running the engine, and then letting it cool down, will possibly turn out right. Next time, I will lay a rag over the filler to reduce the splashing.]
Keep your hands, clothing and tools well clear of the radiator fan at all times; this fan starts automatically without warning and could cause serious injury or damage.
Check the cooling circuit for possible leaks.
Top up the coolant through the expansion reservoir filler to bring the level up to the MAX. mark.
[Note, this is the first mention of refilling the reservoir; but if it weren't refilled before running the engine in the above steps, then there's no way the system would end up properly filled.]
Tighten the cap (1) of the expansion reservoir.

Having smooth skin makes you seem younger, just like calling your little sister "Mom" whenever you're in public. Keep 'em guessing with this Groupon.
The Deal
- $149 for 25 units of Botox (a $375 value)
Botox targets the lines between the brows caused by frowning, squinting, or concentrating. It takes as little as 10 minutes to administer, and blocks nerve impulses in the area so that muscles can no longer contract and cause lines.
Botox may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening, including problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing. Read all safety considerations for Botox first.
Oceanview Med Spa
Weight-loss programs are more than prescriptions and restrictions at Oceanview Med Spa. Instead, Dr. Kenneth Deeb and nurse practitioner Colleen Deeb empower their patients with education, teaching them to apply their personal strengths to fact-based weight-loss regimens. The staff does provide invaluable assistance throughout the four-stage programs, though, and they help patients feel lighter by introducing them to detox strategies, giving dietary guidance, and administering helium injections.
The center's aesthetic treatments adopt a similarly scientific approach to generating dramatic cosmetic changes. Microdermabrasion treatments and chemical peels target blemishes and uneven skin tone, and the med spa's cosmetic laser system and broadband light-based technology noninvasively effect change further beneath the surface.

It's Finally Hampton's Time to Shine
By USF
Related Links
USF Senior Writer
TAMPA - Students often say four years fly by in college, but four years on the gridiron can seem like a lifetime.
Just ask USF defensive end Patrick Hampton.
The fifth-year senior has had to sit and wait his turn while stars like Jarriett Buie, George Selvie and Jason Pierre-Paul did their thing under the spotlight.
"It's been stressful at times. It's been humbling at times," said Hampton, a former high school regional defensive player of the year in Georgia.
Instead of huffing and puffing in frustration, Hampton has kept his eyes open and his mind set on carrying on the lineage of great USF ends.
"I'm just trying to take what I've learned and just show it all," he said. "Just go as hard as I can to show what I have."
Learning from some of the best in college football meant keeping a mental notebook each season.
Hampton noticed how Buie used his strength to beat double teams. He saw how Selvie used his speed to blow past offensive linemen and noticed Pierre-Paul's "crazy moves" on his path to the quarterback.
"I learned a lot from them and I kind of took it upon myself to just do my own thing with it," Hampton said.
His coaches have noticed.
"He's got a great ability to bend, change directions and move. He's good with his hands and he's very explosive. I always saw that in him," said USF defensive tackles coach Kevin Patrick, who noted watching recent film of Hampton has put a smile on his face.
Patrick has been a confidence builder for Hampton all the way back to the days when he was a "skinny little guy."
"I know his dad always used to say he's a linebacker," Patrick said. "I said, 'No, I think he's more of a defensive end.' He fits that mold of a tweener but that ability to move, change directions and do some of the things that he does, sometimes those bigger guys can't do those things."
Hampton has come a long way with Patrick standing firmly in his corner.
He redshirted in 2007, played in six games as a backup in '08, assumed the same role in '09 and played primarily on special teams while logging 13 games of experience.
Hampton started to leave his mark last season when he played in 11 games (three starts) and totaled 2.5 sacks.
Head coach Skip Holtz said he saw "the light bulb go off" for Hampton last year when the Bulls were thinned by injuries.
"He had a chance to get in and get on the field," Holtz said. "I thought he did a great job last year and he's really taken that and kind of parlayed that into this year."
Hampton is now far from skinny by normal people's standards at 6-foot-2 and more than 240 pounds. He's also determined to charge out of the shadow of his predecessors.
"This year I think it's going to be like a big coming out for me. I want it to be like that," Hampton said. "That's what I'm hoping to do. I have a little talent myself, so I'm trying to show it a little bit."
Patrick agrees Hampton's attempt to become his own man at defensive end has fueled his fire for the game.
"I think in turn it's increased his work ethic," the coach said. "It's made him even more determined. He's challenged himself as he's been challenged by other players."
The stress and years of working toward a future day to shine is about to pay off with Notre Dame right around the corner. Now a starter, Hampton still knows he has a lot to prove but Patrick already sees how much promise his pupil possesses.
"I told him, 'Your time is going to come,' " Patrick said. "Sure enough he's one of the most valuable guys we have on this defense. We expect a lot of great things out of him."

Have you heard of the Dailey Method? Unless you live in one of the nine states where former dancer and kinesiologist Jill Dailey has set up studios, there's a good chance you haven't. But Dailey's signature blend of barre work, Pilates-style moves and alignment exercises is definitely worth checking out--and now you can, no matter where you live, with her new DVD ($30, out today!), Dailey Now. Luckily, I snagged a sneak peek--here's why I'm loving it.
1. There's Top-Notch Instruction
I first experienced the Dailey Method when I took a class with Jill Dailey herself, earlier this year. I've done plenty of barre workouts and, while they all have plenty of similarities, I was a huge fan of the way Dailey put so much focus on proper posture and alignment–she calls it her strong "alignment education component." (I don't think we went three minutes without her reminding me, and I mean me specifically, about keeping a long neck or a neutral spine.)
Whenever I do DVDs, though, I feel like that extra instruction gets lost–between holding my head up to watch the TV and not having someone there to adjust me, I have no idea if I'm doing the moves correctly at all. But the cool thing is, I didn't feel that way while doing Dailey Now: Jill Dailey flows from move to move with clarity and carefully explained instructions, constantly adjusting her models and pointing out the right and wrong ways to hold each position.
2. There's Flexibility with Props
The problem with at-home barre classes is that most of us don't have a barre in our living rooms. (Props to you devotees who've actually had one installed!) So Dailey explains that all you need for this class is a high countertop or the back of a sofa to hold on to; I actually found a doorknob to be a good height, as well.
You can also use balls and small hand weights for this workout, but they're optional–even without, I was still aching (in a good way) the next day. All you really need, besides your stand-in barre, is a soft surface to cushion your hands and knees.
3. You'll Get Results in 15 Minutes
The Dailey Method's first DVD, released in 2011, contained one 30 minute workout and one full 60 minute workout. In her new DVD, Dailey breaks it down even further into a 15-minute core workout, a 15-minute "long and lean" workout (for arms, legs, and seat) and a 60-minute full-class workout. On a busy day, I love how I can squeeze in half an hour of exercise over two different sessions–core in the morning, everything else in the evening!
What do you think of Dailey Now's preview video? I love all of the bright tops and black pants, don't you? Tweet us at @amandaemac and @SELFmagazine and let us know if you're ordering your own copy!

Boca Ciega earned its first win with a 17-0 victory over Northeast (0-3).
After a scoreless first half, the Pirates scored on a 25-yard touchdown reception by Jaire Balloon. Then Jeremiah Baxter scored on a fumble recovery to give Boca Ciega (1-2) some cushion. The Pirates caused 11 Northeast turnovers.
"Our defense played really well," Pirates coach Antez Brinson said. "Our offense is still a work in progress. But it's good for the kids' confidence to get a win like this."

Anyway, so keeping in mind I am coming from an '09 X6 with Premium Sound that I have listened to daily for 3 years... and now in the '13 X6, it sounds markedly more crisp and clean. Not really any louder but much, much cleaner. Noticeable difference.
So my thought is I didn't really get a free option and either a) BMW has upgraded or changed suppliers of some components, which I'm sure happens all the time or b) placebo effect from having a "clean new car"
Regarding the front fog light surrounds, they are still silver... so if they're supposed to be black, that is not addressed yet.
I will try to get some additional pictures taken this week if interested.
I just ordered my media snap-in adapter today, too, to replace the older one that doesn't support BMW Apps.

Material for capillary break under PT Framing in basement
What does everyone recommend as a capillary break under the PT wood when framing subgrade basement walls? should I use EPS? Thanks in advance.
Foundation sill insulation (foam) is fine.
Yup, foam sillsealer is the way to go.
Thank s for the replies. If figured that is what I needed I checked the big building stores for what I needed online and they don't carry sill gasket or anything but the Canadian site did. Anyway I head over and see if they got the nice roll of FoamSealR sill foam or equiv. Thanks again
Do not use sill sealer on outlet, switch covers.
Polyethylene sill sealer is flammable.
flash point >320 F. melting point - 220 F.
"Store in a cool, well ventilated area away from excessive heat and sources of ignition." Protecto manufacturer
So I just lit some with a match, instant 2" flame; then I lit a store-bought foam outlet cover, no flame- just kept shrinking to nothing. No liability. I now wonder if my wall paint is flammable............. Be safe, GBR

Used 2002 Ford SUV Values
Continuing to serve American customers with an assortment of cars, trucks and sport utility vehicles, Ford's 2002 line-up consists of new products with mass as well as niche appeal. One of the brand's most popular vehicles, the Ford Explorer earns a sophisticated redesign for 2002 as a four-door vehicle. A two-door Ford Explorer Sport model continues to be sold based on the previous variation of the mid-sized sport utility vehicle. Resembling Ford's famed 1955-1957 personal convertible, a two-passenger convertible revives the Thunderbird name. The 2002 Ford Thunderbird is billed as a nostalgic-fueled cruising vehicle powered by a V-8 engine sourced from Jaguar. The economy-oriented 2002 Focus receives two models delivering an extra dose of performance kick. A heavily-tuned, three-door hatchback, the SVT Focus features 170-horsepower under the influence of a six-speed manual transmission. A five-door hatchback companion to the Ford Focus ZX3 and ZTS sedan, the new ZX5 model is providing performance of the 2.0-liter Zetec engine in its most practical form. For 2002, all Windstar minivans are fitted with dual sliding doors for easy rear passenger access.

Poll: Not many popular options for trimming state budget
Freezing wages and capping property taxes are the only budget-cutting solutions that are overwhelmingly popular with New York State voters, according to a new survey by Quinnipiac University.
But the survey also found cuts to two of the most expensive programs in the budget - education and Medicaid - resoundingly unpopular.
82-13 support capping property taxes
75-20 support a wage freeze for state workers
52-30 support furloughs of state workers
47-45 oppose layoffs of state workers
55-38 oppose reducing pension benefits for state workers
69-28 oppose cutting Medicaid funding
79-18 oppose cutting aid to public schools
All of this underscores the heavy lift facing Cuomo when he presents his budget to legislators next week.

Drug kingpin receives 20-year prison sentence
JOHNSTOWN — A Cambria County man regarded as a kingpin of a regional drug distribution network was ordered Tuesday to serve 20 years in federal prison and 10 years of probation following his release, after his conviction on multiple narcotics and money-laundering charges.
U.S. District Judge Kim Gibson, of Johnstown, sentenced George Lowmaster, 44, of Carrolltown, for his part in the narcotics peddling ring so wide ranging that federal agents arrested 15 other suspects with him in May 2011.
In addition to the prison term, Lowmaster was ordered to forfeit more than $691,000 cash, three vehicles and six pieces of real estate connected with the drug organization.
Lowmaster had been indicted for conspiring to grow and distribute more than 1,000 marijuana plants between Sept. 30, 2010, and May 9, 2011.
Investigators held Lowmaster responsible for distributing cocaine — no more than 17.6 ounces — on July 23, 2008, and Aug. 21, 2010, and with conspiring to launder money representing proceeds of the drug distribution organization between 2008 and 2011.
In a complaint filed by Agent Sandra Maier of the FBI, she charged that investigators monitored hundreds of telephone calls between Lowmaster and customers, distributors and co-conspirators arranging the purchase of marijuana, cocaine and prescription pills.
The complaint details the arrangements made between Lowmaster and a partner in Eugene, Ore., to launder money and ship marijuana to Cambria County, and names the owners of several Cambria County businesses who sold narcotics on Lowmaster's behalf.
U.S. Attorney David Hickton, of Pittsburgh, said a joint task force of investigators from the Laurel Highlands office of the FBI and other agencies including the IRS, state police, Pennsylvania attorney general, Cambria County district attorney and municipal officers from Ebensburg, Patton, Carrolltown, Portage and Paint Township took part in bringing the conviction against Lowmaster.

Re: Multiple Constants
You don't have to use SetAttributes to solve your equations for x,y and z.
The following is a way to solve the equations and use the solutions.
eqns = {x + y + z == 1, b*x + c*y + d*z == A, f*x + g*y + h*z == Q};
Solve[eqns, {x, y, z}];
xyzsols = First[%]
Then to use the solutions, say by substituting into some expression:
3 x^2 + 4 y z /. xyzsols
% // Simplify
As I said, you don't have to SetAttributes to constant for the symbols you
don't want to solve for and I wouldn't. But if you look at Help for
SetAttibutes and then under More Information you will see that you can set
the attribute of more than one symbol by enclosing them in list brackets.
SetAttributes[{b, c, d}, Constant]

The prime minister rejected Tory charges of short-termism over his Queen's speech legislative programme, insisting its "central purpose" was to make the long-term changes needed for Britain.
Across a range of policy areas it would "prepare and equip our country for the future". He jibed that the Tory leader, David Cameron, was "good on jokes but pretty bad on policy".
Mr Brown hailed proposed bills on climate change, housing, anti-terror measures, education and citizenship, saying they would create a fairer society. He rejected SNP calls that as he was a Scottish MP he should abstain from voting on English matters and instead attacked Tory calls for English MPs only to decide on laws affecting England.
The prime minister called on Pakistan's government to ensure elections were held in January as well as the release of political prisoners and freedom for the media.
David Cameron
Mr Cameron accused the government of "short term tricks" and said the prime minister was incapable of delivering the change needed. He said: "The real problem with this Queen's speech is simple. It is the same as the problem with this prime minister. Whether it's on housing, immigration, youth unemployment, it is all short term tricks instead of long term problem solving."
The Tory leader cited Mr Brown's pledge to "deep clean" hospitals to tackle superbugs. He said: "All the things you told us - that it would happen in every hospital, that it would start immediately and be repeated every 18 months - turned out not to be true." He added: "I'll tell you what needs a deep clean - and that is the culture of spin, deceit and half truths we get from this government."
Mr Cameron said: "The Queen's speech doesn't represent, and you don't represent, any real change. You know how to talk about change but the trouble is you can't deliver change. That's what the whole country discovered this autumn."
Inheritance tax
Mr Brown and Mr Cameron clashed over the government's plans to raise the inheritance tax threshold. The prime minister said that under Tory tax plans "3,000 of the richest estates in Britain will each get an extra £280,000".
Mr Cameron challenged the prime minister: "Look me in the eye and say that you were planning to reform inheritance tax before our party conference."
Mr Brown said: "The answer is yes. An unequivocal yes. And all the records will show it under whatever rule they are released under freedom of information."
Tribute to firefighters
Mr Brown said he was "sure the whole house will wish to send our condolences to the families and friends of the four firemen that tragically lost their lives over the weekend." He added: "The British people are privileged to have been served by firemen who showed such courage and dedication."
Mr Cameron said of the tragedy in Warwickshire: "It is a reminder of the great risk our emergency services take on our behalf all of the time."
Labour backbenchers
Tories protested when, within minutes of Mr Brown's and Mr Cameron's opening speeches, there was just one Labour backbencher - Andrew Mackinlay (Thurrock) - in the chamber to debate the Queen's speech. Tory former minister Tony Baldry (Banbury) said it was a "very sad situation", adding: "I cannot believe ... we don't have a single Labour MP present in this chamber other than Mr Mackinlay."
Speaker Michael Martin said: "The important thing is that you are here to listen to Mr Mackinlay and I'm here to chair the proceedings. So everything's fine."
'British jobs for British people'
Mr Brown's slogan of "British jobs for British people" was attacked by Labour's Keith Vaz (Leicester E), home affairs select committee chairman. He said the statement was not credible and could be regarded as "employment apartheid".
Immigration minister Liam Byrne said: "The argument about British jobs for British workers is important but it is not simply a debate about migration policy. It is indeed a much wider debate about the rate of joblessness in the UK population,"
Human fertilisation and embryology bill
Lords Leader Baroness Ashton of Upholland announced peers will be first to debate the human fertilisation and embryology bill, which backbenchers are hoping to use to amend the 1967 Abortion Act.

Spence, Nathan
Roehlk, Michael
Alcon, Sara
Allan, Andrea
Prenatal ethanol exposure is associated with an increased incidence of depressive disorders in patient populations. However, the mechanisms that link prenatal ethanol exposure and depression are unknown. Several recent studies have implicated reduced brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in the hippocampal formation and frontal cortex as important contributors to the etiology of depression. In the present studies, we sought to determine whether prenatal ethanol exposure is associated with behaviors modeling depression, as well as with reduced BDNF levels in the hippocampal formation and/or medial frontal cortex, in a mouse model of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Compared to control adult mice, prenatal ethanol-exposed adult mice displayed increased learned helplessness behavior and increased immobility in the Porsolt forced swim test. Prenatal ethanol exposure was associated with decreased BDNF protein levels in the medial frontal cortex, but not the hippocampal formation, while total BDNF mRNA and BDNF transcripts containing exon III, IV or VI were reduced in both the medial frontal cortex and the hippocampal formation of ethanol-exposed mice. These results identify reduced BDNF levels in the medial frontal cortex and hippocampal formation as potential mediators of depressive disorders associated with FASD.
