Jun 11, 2009 - Jen used to work out of The Beauty Lounge in downtown Akron, but recently moved to Mod A Salon in Akron. I had a root touch-up and highlights done on this visit and I am more than happy with the results! I also took my curly son for a cut and his hair looks great! He was also very pleased with the results :) As with MY 1st appt with Jen, she paid just as much time and attention to my son's individual curl needs which was a delight to a very particular 15 year old boy! On a side note - Jen said that all her appts. today were with curlies. I highly recommend Jen for all the curlies in the area that don't already go to her! Feel free to e-mail me at email@example.com. See my previous rec for Jen at The Beauty Lounge in Akron, Ohio for more info!

DOT Laser Resurfacing for Wrinkles, Hyperpigmentation, Scarring - Work in Progress - Medford, OR

Technical Abstract: The effect of dietary selenium (Se) intake on concentration of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) in plasma, and immunoglobulins (IgG and IgM) in plasma and colostrum of cows was determined. Pregnant cows (n=45) were randomly allocated among three dietary treatments of 20, 60 and 120 ppm Se as selenite in salts offered free-choice. At parturition, cows given salt with 20 ppm Se and lower (P<.05) concentrations of Se in blood compared to cows with access to higher Se salts. Treatment affected (P<.01) the concentration of T3 and the ratio of T3 to T4 in plasma of cows. Plasma IgG in cows and calves, colostrum, and Se concentrations in colostrum, casein and whey were lowest (P<.01) for cows given salt with only 20 ppm Se. The concentrations of Se in the protein fractions within serum were not affected by treatment. Within serum, the highest concentrations of Se were in the selenoprotein P fraction (31.6 ng/ml), the smallest concentrations were in the glutathione peroxidase (GPX) fraction (4.7 ng/ml) and an intermediate amount of Se was obtained form the albumin fraction (8.5 ng/ml). In conclusion, consideration should be given to the concentrations of T3 and IgG when determining the nutritional requirements for Se in cattle.

Mayhem # 2683943
About MeMy name is Maya Johnson. I am a 22 year old aspiring model. I have have been working toward my dream of modeling since i was 14 and had a nice portfolio by the time I was 18. But when I was ready to go to an agent, i found out i was pregnant! Since then, I have put my dreams aside for my son, and i needed to get used to the changes my body has made. Since i want to get abck into the swing of things, I have shot with multiple photographers since I have had my son and i am looking forward to doing more work and working towards my dream of modeling/ acting!
As you can see from my pictures I have a very unique look. Not many people can tell what ethnicity I am. I get Chinese, Cambodian, Haitian, Colombian, Dominican, some things that are just way off! My mother is Filipino and my father is Swedish/Irish. I have freckles, which is why people get so confused about my ethnicity.
I would like to do some high fashion shoots in weird locations. Something different. I feel like alot of pictures out there now-a-days are the same picture just with a different girl. I wanna be in a creative unique fun atmosphere!

Targeting road safety interventions at young workers and family members through the workplace
Murray, Will, Watson, Barry C., & Faulks, Ian (2007) Targeting road safety interventions at young workers and family members through the workplace. In Australasian College of Road Safety Conference on Infants, Children and Young People and Road Safety, 2-3 August, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
|PDF (847kB)
This paper is partly based on research and partly on practical real-world experience. From a research perspective, a recent major review of fleet safety in Australia (Murray, et al, 2003) suggested that there may be some type of 'work driver effect' that could be used to positive effect in the wider community, in that if work drivers could 'take safety home', employees' private driving would be safer and their influence on family members could be positive. In this review, the issue was particularly cited by DuPont as one of the motivators for its extensive fleet safety program in Australia and around the world. DuPont proposed that there are both humanitarian and business reasons to focus on fleet safety, and argued that that crashes occurring during a driver's private time, or involving their family, will inevitably affect their working life. Clarke (2006) also focused on the safe driving of family members.
Based on this idea, we started to look at the integration of the work and personal driving context, with questions such as:
• Does the influence of organisational safety culture remain with drivers after leaving the work environment? • Can organisations can gain political or public support through a well managed safety program or recruit and keep more safety conscious staff? • From an image perspective, can a fleet safety program have very high 'face validity'? • Can we develop the marketing benefits of fleet safety for organisational and community gain?
The remainder of this paper focuses on how these ideas were developed into practical outcomes, including a summary the relationship between safety and marketing, and how large corporate companies, including British Telecom, Centrica (British Gas), Nestlé Waters and Wolseley UK, have successfully targeted road safety interventions at young workers and family members through the workplace.

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Aggression (the good, the bad & the ugly) (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/aggression-good-bad-ugly/)
- - 2/yo GSD suddenly attacks our other dog? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/aggression-good-bad-ugly/446833-2-yo-gsd-suddenly-attacks-our-other-dog.html)
2/yo GSD suddenly attacks our other dog?
Our two year old GSD Lilly is the most gentle dog I have ever owned. She is a pretty big girl at around 100 lbs but very health. Yesterday I get a call from my in-laws where the dogs are staying. They said that Lilly violently attacked our other dog a 6 year old GS/Husky mix that is half her size. They have been around each other for 2 years and never shown any aggression.
I checked out our other dog and he shows some wet fur from saliva but no bites at all that I can see. And he is half the size so she could have easily bit him. They claim it happened out of no where. Lilly had been with my mother in law laying down watching her work in the yard all day as usual. I just can't figure it out. Maybe my mother in-law missed some rough playing that lead up to this event or something? Any ideas? They both stay outside now instead of inside like they did before we got out of the military as we currently have no room to keep them in doors.
Both are due for a rabies vaccination as well and roam on a huge farm during the day but we have not see any signs of either of them being bitten. Just keeping it in mind as worst case scenario. Now my in-laws are scared there is something wrong with Lilly and refuse to let her out of her kennel (big enough to walk around plenty) until there is an explanation. Any help?!?
Is it possible that they were just playing and the in-laws didn't recognize that?
Years ago, even though the dogs raised together were friends, one of my dogs bit the other dog pretty good. I took the dog to the vet ad the vet told me that she wanted to do a blood test on the dog. Here the dog was going through kidney failure. The vet said it's not uncommon for one dog to go after a sick dog.
Thanks for the responses. She said it for sure did not look playful at all. Almost more of a vicious attack. But at the same time our GSD weighs probably upwards of 90lbs (she's highly active and stalky build) and our other dog may weigh 65 pounds soaking wet. And the GS didn't even break skin and I know for a fact she could have if she wanted to. But my mother in law said she was latched on pretty good. I just don't know what to think and they are afraid to let her free in fear she may attack a person. I will be getting them both to the vet as soon as time allows.
Any other opinions or advice?
Attacking a dog and attacking a person are two different things! How long before "you" can have control of the situation?
My father in-law said he let Lilly out again today and she wouldn't even wag her tail and she normally throws it around like crazy. She hasn't eaten in a day or so and she growled at our other dog she had attacked and made him nervous enough that he ran and hid under some farm equipment. We have a vet appointment saturday morning. Anything I should specifically ask them to check? I am lost as to what to do. These changes took place in her behavior almost instantly. She has NEVER had any type of behavior like this at all.
How long has she been with your inlaws? Could it all be stress related is what I'm wondering (not eating, snapping at your other dog) going to a "new home" is NOT easy she could be extremely stressed and is letting it out the only way she can, see what your vet says.

Hmm could be possible, if he is vein pushy she will snap at him

Nathan Paulus had 14 points going into halftime and led the Eagles with 29 points in the game. The Eagles went ahead 38 to 29 at halftime, but started to make mistakes in passing and shot selection allowing the Vikings to come within 6 points at 49-43 by the end of the third quarter. Paulus then went a perfect 11 for 11 from the free throw line while the Eagles allowed just 12 points in the fourth quarter on route to an 80 – 55 win over the Vikings at Northwood Kensett. The Vikings now drop to 1-1 while the Eagles remain unbeaten at 2-0.

Natilla: Creamy Custard
A direct descendant of the Spanish Crema Catalana, natilla is a rich, creamy egg custard made without the crispy sugar topping. It's sweet, thick, comforting and perfect for entertaining, because it can be prepared ahead completely. Adding eggs to the warm milk mixture can scramble them; to prevent that, add the milk mixture to the eggs very slowly in order to increase their temperature gradually.
Slideshow: More Great, Quick Desserts
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
- Time(Other): Plus 3 hr chilling
- 4 cups whole milk
- One 2-inch strip of lemon zest
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 8 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup cornstarch, dissolved in 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Ground cinnamon, for garnish
How to make this recipe
In a large saucepan, combine the milk with the lemon zest, cinnamon stick and salt and bring to a simmer. In a large heatproof bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the granulated sugar with the egg yolks at medium speed until they are pale, about 4 minutes. Beat in the cornstarch slurry. At low speed, gradually beat in half of the hot milk.
Pour the egg-and-milk mixture into the saucepan and cook the custard over moderate heat, whisking constantly for 18 minutes, until very thick. Whisk in the vanilla. Transfer the custard to a large bowl and discard the cinnamon stick and lemon zest. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard and refrigerate until chilled, about 3 hours. Spoon the custard into 6 bowls, sprinkle with ground cinnamon and serve.
Make Ahead
The egg custard can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX drops 1.3 percent as TD, energy shares weigh
* TSX down 184.91 points, or 1.25 percent, at 14,569.15
* All 10 main index sectors decline
* Energy shares drop 4.3 percent
By John Tilak
TORONTO, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index dropped on Thursday as Toronto-Dominion Bank fell after the lender's quarterly results disappointed the market, offsetting a surge in Enbridge Inc after the pipeline company announced restructuring plans and a dividend increase.
Further, shares of energy producers tumbled again, this time after news of Saudi Arabia making deep price cuts for U.S. and Asian buyers sent the price of oil lower.
Enbridge shares shot up 10.5 percent after the company said late on Wednesday it will transfer its Canadian liquids pipelines business and certain renewable energy assets to an affiliate, and raised its quarterly dividend by a third.
TD reported a weaker-than-expected fourth-quarter profit and said it expects a more challenging operating environment in 2015. The stock shed 3 percent to C$55.21.
"The banks are starting to miss on earnings. I'm cautious towards the Canadian banks at the moment," said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets. Continued...

Commentary: Beyond Nafta: Why Washington Mustn't Stop NowPaul Magnusson
Caterpillar Inc. sells nearly $100 million worth of its distinctive yellow bulldozers, excavators, and off-road trucks each year to Chile's mining industry. Most of the heavy machinery is made in the U.S. But because of a growing free-trade movement within Latin America, Caterpillar may shift production--and thousands of jobs--to a plant in Brazil. The reason: Brazil's open-market agreement with Chile means that a Cat tractor built in Brazil comes into Chile duty-free. One from the U.S. is subject to a 11% tariff. And Cat isn't the only U.S. outfit in this situation. General Electric, Coca-Cola, and Eastman Kodak are just a few of the companies that also are being forced to choose between exporting jobs or losing markets.
The blame lies squarely with Washington, which has yet to produce legislation that would authorize new "fast-track" trade talks. The U.S. shepherded the world through the Uruguay Round of trade liberalizations, signed a free-trade pact with Mexico, and promised in 1994 to turn the Western Hemisphere into a tariff-free zone by 2005. But lately, the Clinton Administration and Congress have taken a breather, mainly because of domestic political considerations.
LOST SALES. Meanwhile, Asian, European, and Latin American nations have moved ahead, fashioning free-trade zones among themselves. Chile, for example, has reached zero-tariff deals with Canada, Mexico, and the Mercosur trade bloc that includes Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. One result: A Chilean telephone company recently passed over three U.S.-based manufacturers rather than pay an 11% tariff on U.S. telecom goods. Overall, says the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the loss of U.S. exports to Chile is $480 million a year and growing.
The White House is belatedly acknowledging that U.S. exporters are missing out. On Apr. 7, Commerce Secretary William M. Daley announced that his first trade mission will take him to Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. It's a good start, but Daley will be flying in the jet exhaust of delegations from Canada, France, Germany, Britain, Japan, and South Korea. Meanwhile, the European Union has broached the idea of an EU-Mercosur free-trade zone.
Why has the Administration been so slow to move? It can't decide how to handle issues of labor rights and the environment in fast-track trade legislation--longtime Democratic concerns. Well, it should simply negotiate side deals on such issues. That's the method Clinton used in negotiating the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement.
There's also pressure from critics who point out that trade deficits with Mexico and Canada have ballooned since NAFTA. But multilateral agreements with Latin American nations are not likely to produce such a surge. U.S. tariffs now average around 3%, while South American tariffs are still about 12%. The U.S. can't lose by equalizing those rates.
NO CONTEST. Meanwhile, U.S. exporters are losing sales because of tariffs on U.S. goods. Take Quaker Fabric in Fall River, Mass. Its exports of textiles to Canada and Mexico have taken off since NAFTA passed. But Quaker can't compete with Brazilian manufacturers selling duty-free to Chile and Argentina. Then there's TRC Cos. in Windsor, Conn., which sees a huge market in Chile for its environmental technology. It has engineered a $25 million state-of-the-art landfill there. But TRC is hobbled by Chilean tariffs and laws that require 20% withholding on its fees.
Simply extending NAFTA to Chile would add U.S. jobs. For example, IBM de Chile imports $35 million in PCs, duty-free, from Mexico annually. If it weren't for the 11% tariff, the company would bring them in from the U.S., says an IBM de Chile official.
As the world's largest exporter, the U.S. can't afford to sit on the sidelines in the free-trade game. And if Washington can't pass trade legislation in the sixth year of a recovery with low unemployment, when can it? The Clinton Administration should wait no longer to introduce a fast-track bill.

April 8, 2013
By Nick Carner UTSports.com
First year Head Coach Butch Jones has four words that describe the dynamic he's looking to build between athletics and academics at Tennessee.
"We are one Tennessee."
With those four words, Jones sent a succinct but direct message to nearly 200 teachers and their families at Faculty Appreciation Day 2013.
"I always tell our players," Jones said. "They're called student-athletes for a reason--academics are first and foremost. I want you to know that you have our unwavering commitment and support toward academics."
The smell of biscuits and gravy, pancakes and sausage permeated the air in the Laurinella Center early Saturday morning, as the Thornton Athletic Center staff served the teachers breakfast. The faculty also took a tour of the locker room and watched the day's football practice.
Defensive line coach Steve Stripling, defensive graduate assistant Terry Fair, quarterback Justin Worley and safety Brian Randolph served as liaisons from the football team. The quartet shook hands, signed autographs and offered their appreciation for the teachers' efforts.
"We just want to thank y'all," Worley said. "And extend our appreciation to all the faculty and their families for being here. It means a lot to us. Everything we do, it shows on the football field, but it's also trying to make us better people. You all have a huge role in that."
This event, which Brian Russell, the Assistant Director at the Thornton Athletics Student Life Center, called Jones' "brainchild," offered an opportunity for both the athletic and academic sides to discuss issues that either foster or inhibit a healthy coexistence between the two sides.
He highlighted Thornton's basic services like tutoring, math labs and study halls, but also touched on its Achieving Classroom Excellence program that teaches student-athletes crucial life skills like time management. The faculty voiced concerns over student athletes missing class and not participating in mandatory group projects.
"It's our goal to make sure that our faculty understands that the football program is an open door for them," Russell said. "We're all on the same campus. It's a way to say thanks to them for supporting all of our student-athletes. It's an opportunity to make sure they understand that we appreciate the fact that they're working with us to make sure our student athletes are highly engaged, highly effective in their classrooms. Our door is always open for them to ask questions and work directly with us."
Rebecca Davis, a teaching assistant in Economics, said her experience with athletes in class has been generally positive, calling them "engaged," "studious" and "attentive."
"My students have people in the athletic department who check on their attendance, but I've also received emails from the Thornton Center looking for feedback on how the students are doing or just making sure they have the tools they need to succeed," Davis said.
"I think this event is something that should have been done a long time ago. Getting faculty attached to student athletes and bridging that connection will really help those students if they don't have a future in sports."

This system can be applied to both adults and children and it allows us to localize the patient's trachea quickly and effectively. In addition, the incision is automatically performed to create a fixed airway that can facilitate future surgeries.
The main functionalities of the new device are: establishing neck position, identification of the tracheal air column, an adequate patients data diagnosis, preload adjustment according to the shot aim, cut and incision to open an alternative airway, incision dilatation and maintenance of the airway with the support of electrical and air power.
The design is currently in the development phase and it is being assessed through the Medtronic Eureka platform. In the future, apart from being used in surgery, the new tracheotomy device could become an element of public health security present in public places, the same as currently are present the defibrillators devices.

Fast neutron mutants with known genomic deletions resulting in altered shoot and root architecture phenotypes will be grown under controlled growth conditions. Leaf, seed, and root tissue will be collected, RNA extracted, and submitted for RNA-seq analysis. RNA-seq data will allow us to determine the changes in gene expression patterns for each tissue due to large genomic deletions. We will screen fast neutron mutants with known altered root and/or shoot phenotypes in controlled environments to determine if any of the known mutants have an increased tolerance to nutrient-deficient conditions. Root, seed, and leaf samples from mutant plants will be collected and submitted for RNA-seq analysis. RNA-seq expression analysis will allow us to identify genes or genomic regions in mutants with altered expression patterns that may contribute to oil and protein deposition. The sequencing data will also provide evidence for the gene expression basis for root and shoot architecture phenotype that may provide acclimation to nutrient deficiency.

Blame The Latest Bills Loss On The Coach
The Bills lose another home game they should have won and this time it's coaching. Chan Gailey will say there were plays that weren't made that could have been the difference, but his indecision, his lack of leadership, his poor play calling, his poor clock management and his failure to see the overall scope of the game all contibuted in a big way to the Bills 15-12 loss to the St. Louis Rams.
Case in point, just before halftime the Bills call time out with 11 seconds left on 3rd down on the St. Louis 34. They're drawing up a play into the end zone right? Wrong. They're kicking a 40-yard field goal. Why not give it a shot into the end zone? And calling a time out with 11 seconds? If you're going to kick a field goal anyway, let the clock run down to 3 seconds. The Bills were forced to kickoff as a result.
Then in the 4th quarter, with the Bills at the Rams 34, Rian Lindell was sent out to kick a 52-yard field goal, but then Gailey called a time out. Are they going for it on fourth down? Nope, they're punting. Punting? Just goes to show he has no confidence in the players to make a play. That's a lack of leadership.
And how about C-J Spiller. His incredible talent was wasted. He ran the ball only seven times and caught a pass for a grand total of eight touches on the day. Does anybody on the Bills coaching staff know what talent he has?
And by the way, you can forget about any playoff hopes. Those went down the drain with Sunday's pitful display.
Gailey's got to go, but you can bet he'll be back next year continuing to make his bumbling moves game after game. He's an imaginative offensive coach, but as a head coach? Forget it.
And how about Ryan Fitzpatrick? He had one of his better days statistically, completing 25 of 33 for 247 yards, but when the Bills absolutely need him to lead the team on a late-game drive, he melts like he's done in a number of games this season. This one ended with an interception on a poorly thrown ball.
If the Bills had a better quarterback, we'd likely overlook all of Gailey's mistakes. But it is what it is and for Bills fans it's another year, the 13th, out of the playoffs.

Today's Devotional
Judgment and ObedienceAre you more concerned with pleasing people than God?
Top Music Videos
Brian Charles-Voyage Home
This song "Voyage Home" is Dedicated to the Memory of Salena Newman, My friend Michaels 13 year old baby girl. And will be on the Christian Music realease,"We will lift our hands to you". After going to the memorial service today(10/20/12) and hearing how Selena had already saved a 2 year old little girls life by way of a liver transplant,God spoke to me and gave me the Idea to dedicate this song to her.The lyrics seemed to fit her angelic soul. The way I understand it, A little girl who was awaiting her liver transplant was not even supposed to walk again even with the transplant taking successfully ,but with Selenas liver and the anointing that it held within , The little girl wanted to get up and walk as soon as she came to! Selena touched many and I saw it first hand by the testimonies given today, I hope this song and video brings her memory the honor and glory it deserves. May she rest in peace and enjoy hanging out with Jesus,God bless this little angel!!! Selena Newman

Obamas Shining
"Pay them no mind, darling. Tonight is about you and me."DEJA VU. Chalk it up to the Monday morning blues. When I first saw the coverage of the Obamas' "Date Night" in New York, I didn't feel especially negative about it beyond wondering if it wasn't courting some resentment among voters who are being hard hit by the recession. On Fox & Friends, Tucker Carlson spoke for the elite northeastern conservative media by dismissing this concern out of hand and confining his own complaints to the delays and inconveniences the First Couple's night out occasioned the better sort of Manhattanites. Video clips like the one above, though, made it clear that the adoring Obamasses at the scene were perfectly delighted with the whole event, proving both me and Carlson wrong. The New York Post account seemed to close the deal:
OBAMA KEEPS HIS BIG APPLE PLEDGEI'm not going to make a big deal out of the fact that taxpayers footed the bill. Of course, we did. He's the president. That's not what I'm feeling grumpy and skeptical about. But I am feeling grumpy and skeptical. Like I'm being played at a surface level and subtly propagandized at a subliminal level.
ĀTwo martinis, a swank restaurant, a Broadway show -- President Obama really knows how to treat a First Lady.
"I am taking my wife to New York City because I promised her during the campaign that I would take her to a Broadway show after it was all finished," the president said yesterday after touching down at JFK for an intimate night on the town.
The first couple left their girls, Sasha and Malia, behind at the White House yesterday afternoon, taking two helicopters and a small Air Force jet to make their way to Manhattan.
The Obamas were dressed to the nines -- Michelle in a sleeveless, black cocktail dress adorned with fringe, a pair of low, strappy heels and a turquoise clutch; and the president in a dark suit and white shirt, no tie.
The first stop was a meal at low-key, but elegant, Greenwich Village restaurant Blue Hill, which boasts farm fresh, locally grown dishes.
The Obamas were tucked into an out-of-the- way corner table where they enjoyed a multi- course feast specially prepared by the chef. They washed down the fine fare with wine, said a fellow diner, who also no ticed Michelle relaxing with a couple of martinis.
Photographers were kept blocks away be hind barricades for the first couple's privacy.
"We left them alone the entire night," said Blue Hill diner Rachael Levit, of Manhattan. "Nobody asked for autographs or took any pictures. They were laughing and talking and seemed like they had a genuinely good time."
But as the Obamas departed, the respectful diners, who had been screened by Secret Service personnel before they could enter the eatery, erupted into a round of applause.
Then it was up to Broadway, where they had tickets at the Belasco Theatre for "Joe Turner's Come and Gone," a play by August Wilson about a man coming to terms with the history of slavery.
"I'm nervous, excited, honored," said Andre Holland, who plays character Jeremy Furlow, before the show. "It's like in Shakespearean times, when the king would come to the show."
Although the play's up for a Best Revival Tony Award, the first couple got the biggest standing ovation of the night as theatergoers applauded and took photos of the dashing duo for 10 minutes before the show began.
The president gallantly guided his wife to their orchestra seats with his hand on the small of her back, while shaking hands with fellow theatergoers and smiling broadly. Due to security screenings, the curtain rose an hour late... [boldface mine]
Don't bother telling me I'm trying to read too much into it. Everything a president does is symbolic of something. The only question is whether the something is something obvious or something deeper. The press always thinks it knows, and maybe it does, but what they think is not always the story they choose to write and show.
One thing I know for sure because I'm not a complete moron is that this was not "an intimate night on the town" intended to "wow [the] First Lady with dinner and [a] Broadway show." There's nothing intimate about a flight to New York accompanied by two jets full of press, a motorcade through Times Square, a dinner that concludes with a standing ovation, and theater attendance that begins with a standing ovation from the audience and ends with the cast waxing nostalgic(?) about "when the king would come to the show." If the intent was to "wow" the First Lady, it was with yet another victory lap by a politician who has yet to quit campaigning for the office he already occupies. If he had a message for her, it wasn't an intimate "I love you truly and deeply regardless of all that has changed in our lives; it was "Look at how truly and deeply everyone loves me -- and you by extension."
I know this sounds harsh, and there will be those who protest, "What's a President to do?" uh, plenty. If the American people had made the disastrous mistake of electing me president, I could think of a lot of ways of fulfilling the promise Obama purportedly made to Michelle. I wouldn't be at all shy about the expense. If it was just for her, I would make it all just for her. I would bring New York and Broadway to the White House -- the restaurant setting, the chefs, the waiters for a dinner for two. And I would invite her favorite Broadway performers to put on a show just for the two of us. Because a president can do that. They keep telling us he's creative -- a writer, right? -- and it's the creative, personal touches that melt a woman's heart. The mystery beforehand, the stopping of the world's outside clock on her behalf, the total attention to pleasing her for a change, to living up to her: for example, I'd have worn a tie, probably a black tie. For the one person who, more than any other, merits my determination to put my best foot forward.
But this wasn't that. It was a vulgar exercise in showing off. The First Lady "dressed to the nines" certainly, but the president was attired only in expensive casual, as if... what? He'd already had a long day and if it was going to be even longer, he at least had the consolation of ditching the tie from his workaday suit? Or was it for all of us? He was tieless because he could be? Because the bright lights of New York impress him less than a roomful of foreign dignitaries or network news stars? Because the whole exercise was maybe just a little beneath him? Wall Streeters dress up for dinner and a show, and so does his own wife, but not the One? Does he, in fact, find it all a little bourgeois and boring?
There are signs that this is so. I'm well aware the Post article is at pains to tell us about all the smiling that was going on, and to prove it they led off their photo gallery with this shot:
"We've got matching outfits. Cool."
But that's a picture they knew was being taken. In the course of the evening that followed, Post photographers took other more candid snaps as well:
"It's worth it. Trust me. I'll explain later."
Having fun were they? Or, in their deliberate black attire, were they summoning a subliminal memory of black-coated Robespierre grimly condescending to the Parisian aristocracy during the French Revolution? Amping up for the Directorate and the Terror. The third photo in the series is from the "show" they attended. I certainly can't read faces like the fictional protagonist of "Lie to Me," but I sure wish I could. The expressions are ambiguous, but they don't look at all to me like, "I've just had a glorious night of personal celebration capped by a show that makes me grateful just to have seen so much talent on an American stage."
Or would it make you, personally, feel better to have your president attend a show that reminds him just how pissed off he is about all the injustices his country has subjected him to -- right before he leaps back into his limo, his "casual" jet, and Marine One en route back to the White House?
You think "pissed off" is overstated? You probably do. Do you know anything about the play he picked -- above all other candidates for his celebratory night on the town with his beloved wife?
"Can you believe it? Rahm wanted us to see Jersey Boys?"
I'm no expert on this dramatic work, but here's how Wikipedia characterizes it:
Joe TurnerÆs Come and Gone is the second in a series of August WilsonÆs The Pittsburgh Cycle, which chronicled the struggles and lives of African-Americans in the 20th century. Joe TurnerÆs Come and Gone is set in the second decade of the 20th century and chronicles the lives of a few freed African-American slaves in the North. The play deals with issues of race and reconstruction, but also more broadly examines finding your personal identity and finding your way in life.
Well, why not? Even we have speculated that President Obama has more than a passing interest in Reconstruction, and that's fine, of course, except that I can't help wondering what the Obamas' facial expressions mean in the context of what Wiki reports about the final scene in the play:
Scene Five- In the final scene Loomis and Zonia leave the boardinghouse as it is Saturday. Bertha tells Mattie that all she needs in life is love and laughing- which they all start to do. Then Martha Pentecost [Loomis] enters with Selig looking for Loomis and Zonia. Loomis reenters with Zonia and he recounts the last decade of his life; his search for her and the heartache it has caused him. Martha tells him that she has moved on with her life because she couldnÆt wait for him any longer. Martha also reveals that she had Bynum put a binding spell on her and Zonia and that is why they have come to find each other. Loomis goes into a rage and pulls out a knife. He denounces his Christian background and slashes his chest. The stage directions read ōHaving found his song, the song of self-sufficiency, fully resurrected, cleansed and given breath, free from any encumbrance other than the workings of his own heart and the bonds of the flesh, having accepted the responsibility for his own presence in the world, he is free to soar above the environs that weighed and pushed his spirit into terrifying contractions.ö He leaves and the play ends with Bynum yelling ōHerald Loomis, you shining! You shining like new money!ö [boldface mine]
I admit, as a writer, I'm not reassured by the quoted stage direction. To me it sounds like a play that's meant to be read, not performed, which also suggests that it's as self-consciously symbolic and pretentious as all the stuff that got Tennessee Williams so roundly trashed by critics in the final two thirds of his career. But what concerns me more is the question of what exactly about this play means so much to the President of the United States that he preferred seeing it, all things considered on this night of all nights with his wife -- with the American people looking raptly and adoringly on -- to the many other Broadway productions that are actually joyful, celebratory, spectacular, and, well, conducive to fooling around with your wife when the two of you get back home.
Or is "shining like new money" an aphrodisiac I've never heard about? So much hotter when you have a faithless partner, a self-inflicted slash in your chest, and a repudiation of Christianity fueling your allegiance to the flesh.
I'm also concerned that nobody but me has any concerns of this sort.
But don't mind me. As I said, it's probably just the Monday morning blues.

This item is no longer available.
With its long-range zoom and wide-ranging photo sharing capabilities, the Samsung WB250F packs a powerful punch for such a compact camera. Its 14.2-megapixel sensor is backlit for better image quality in low-light settings, so vivid color and detail aren't dependent on bright sunlight or flashes. Zoom in close to capture your child's expression at her birthday party, or pull back and fit your extended family in the frame for a group shot. With the WB250F's wide-angle zoom lens, you'll have the flexibility to record all the great moments without having to be right on top of them.
Samsung has equipped the WB250F with an impressive array of wireless photo sharing options. The Direct Link button gives you easy instant access to your Wi-Fi network. Once connected, you can upload photos directly to social networking sites, email them to friends and family right from the camera, view them on a networked TV, or send them to your smartphone, tablet or PC for even more options. Worried about losing photos before you get around to backing them up? Then turn on AutoShare, which automatically sends photos to your Wi-Fi connected smartphone or tablet right after you snap the shot.
With the ability to email photos from the WB250F, you may wonder how long it would take to enter a long email address using the rear-panel navigation buttons. It would likely be tedious, which is why Samsung incorporated a touchscreen LCD into this camera's design. That way, you can enter email addresses just as you would on a smartphone. There are also traditional menu buttons as well as a shooting mode dial, letting you quickly choose between auto or manual exposure modes.
I like my camera very much. And the best thing I like about my camera is that I can send the pictures to my computer with no problem. This is a problem-free camera. I downloader the manual to my Ipad. Now is have all the necessary info at my fingertip

Sometimes it's more than that, and sometimes the download speed drops to like 1.X or even 0.X, maybe the fact that sometimes people in my area use the internet more gives this affect, or it might be the router/modem, i'm not sure :/
My average is 1 file per week, goal is 2 – 3 (decently designed) files per week.
There's also something about the items themselves, the more general themed your items are – the bigger your target audience of potential buyers is. Take your two last items for example, they look very good, but the amount of buyers looking for sports or gambling themed stationary is way smaller than buyers looking for just general corporate stationary, or food related stationary. Some might say that general is banal, but you can always keep it look original with adding a nice idea into it.
Best of luck to you, mate!
Edit: btw, if you'll take a look into my items, i have a gambling related flyer, which i looks pretty well i believe, but it doesn't sell as well as my other flyers just because it has a more specific theme.

I refresh at all times of the day, at the morning when i wake up, at lunch time, before i go to sleep, and even in the middle of the night when i wake up to the toilet.
Friends and family keep saying that it's an addiction, but i don't think so.
Hehe… now seriously, i refresh pretty often too, and happy about it
Opening another Envato account might be a solution, but then the question is – will you be able to withdraw your earnings from both envato users to the same PP / Pyoneer / Moneybookers account or whatever you use? I asked this question in another forum thread, and hope to get an answer from the envato staff or from Paynoeer's staff since i'm using the Payoneer card. But if you use two of the withdrawl services, like Payo and Paypal, then this is not a problem for you i guess.

Game One: USF 6, Rutgers 3
Game Two: USF 15, Rutgers 7
Game Three: Usf 10, Rutgers 5
Up Next: vs. Stetson - March 24 - 7 p.m.
"They really did a great job all weekend offensively. Every time Rutgers got close we gained some back. It was a great performance. We can build on this and keep the momentum going," said head coach Lelo Prado
Added to this weekend's three-game sweep against Rutgers, the Bulls ended the 2008 season with three wins over Notre Dame May 15-17, the Bulls' first BIG EAST sweep in the Coach Prado era.
With today's win, USF has now won nine of the last 11 BIG EAST home games, dating back to the series with Louisville on April 13, 2008.
With 13 hits in Sunday's 10-5 victory, the Bulls completed the sweep of Rutgers with a total of 46 hits in the series.
"We aren't a home run hitting club so we have to stay in the middle of the field, and these guys have done a great job this weekend," said Prado.
Junior Matt Quevedo earned his third win of the season, striking out three and allowing only three earned runs from six hits in 5.1 innings. Junior Shawn Sanford picked up the save, his second of the year, not giving up a hit and striking out two in his 1.2-inning performance.
"Every time Quevedo has come in, in the second or third inning, he has done a good job for us. He is an upper classman and a guy that we count on. Hopefully he can continue to do that," said Prado.
Nine Bulls had a hit in the game, led by two from senior Mike Consolmagno, sophomores Ryan Lockwood and Stephen Hunt and redshirt freshman Todd Brazeal, who had a double and three RBI.
"Bryant does a great job with these guys. He makes sure that they stay focused on what we try to teach," said Prado
For only the seventh time this season, USF's opponent scored in the first inning. Rutgers scored one run as Pat Biserta drove in Jayson Betteridge, who reached on a double to left field.
USF knotted the game at one in the second inning, then added five over the next two innings to take the 6-2 lead after four.
In the second, USF loaded the bases as Chris Rey drew a walk, Mike Consolmagno was hit by a pitch and Peter Brotons recorded a base hit. Ryan Lockwood picked up the RBI after drawing a walk, which extended his streak of reaching base safely to 63 consecutive games.
USF starter Matt Stull pitched 1.2 innings before leaving the game with athletic trainer Josh Herran and pitching coach Lazer Collazo. Stull allowed only one run from three hits in his fourth start of the season.
Junior RHP Matt Quevedo finished the second inning with just one pitch, forcing Michael Lang to fly out to center field.
Sam Mende drew a walk to lead off the third inning, then with one out, Stephen Hunt and Rey each connected on base hits, giving USF the 2-1 lead.
Rutgers plated one run in the fourth on a sac fly, but the Bulls answered with four in the bottom of the frame, extending the lead to 6-2.
The Bulls opened the fourth with three consecutive base hits from Consolmagno, Brotons and Lockwood, which drove in the leadoff batter. Koscso drove home Brotons on a sac fly, then with two outs, Brazeal tagged his eighth double of the season to knock in Koscso. Brazeal later scored on a two-out base hit by Hunt.
The Rutgers offense would not go away, scoring two more in the fifth, drawing the game within two. In a similar fashion as the Bulls in the fourth, the Scarlet Knights started the inning with back-to-back base hits then scored both runs on a double by Luis Feliz.
With one out in the sixth and Lockwood on base after a fielder's choice, Koscso sent a base hit through the left side in time for Mende to load the bases after being hit by a pitch. Brazeal sent a grounder to second base, which brought home Lockwood, putting USF ahead 7-4.
In the top of the eighth, Andrew Salgueiro came in to relieve Matt Quevedo after his 5.1 innings on the hill.
Again Rutgers kept the ballgame interesting, scoring one in the top of the eighth after a double by Jimenez, a walk issued to Vinnie Sangemino and an RBI-single by Brandon Boykin. With two runners on and one out, Shawn Sanford relieved Salgueiro, striking out Michael Lang and forcing Jaren Matthews to ground out to shortstop.
The Bulls added three insurance runs in the eighth as all nine batters stepped to the plate. Lockwood led off with a base hit then moved to second on a sac by Koscso. Back-to-back singles from Mende and Brazeal plated Lockwood, then with two outs, Junior Carlin hit a two-RBI single to left field to give USF the 10-5 advantage.
That was all Sanford and the Bulls would need as they closed out the game and the series sweep in the opening set of BIG EAST play.
USF will take on Stetson at 7 p.m. in Red McEwen Field on Tuesday March 24.
Game Notes:
USF now has three BIG EAST Conference series sweeps in three seasons in the league. The first was in 2006 against Seton Hall, in 2008 the Bulls defeated Notre Dame three-straight to end the regular season, added to the three wins over Rutgers March 20-22, 2009.
With today's win, USF has now won nine of the last 11 BIG EAST home games, dating back to the series with Louisville on April 13, 2008.
USF has collected at least 11 hits in 13 games this season, collecting 10 wins along the way.

C.S. Lewis and American Culture
Marion E. Wade Center, the Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals, and Wheaton College's Faith & Learning program
Friday, November 1, 2013 from 9:30 AM to 9:00 PM (CDT)
British author C.S. Lewis has exercised a greater influence within the United States than within his own country. The reasons for this, however, have seldom--if ever--gone beyond cursory observations on the qualities of Lewis' work that Americans have found attractive.
In this, the fiftieth anniversary of Lewis's death, the Wade Center, ISAE, and Wheaton's Faith & Learning Program seek to encourage some initial, yet substantial, steps toward a more historically and culturally informed explanation for the Oxford don's influential presence within American culture.
To do this we have invited a select group of scholars known for their insights into American history, culture, and religion and a UK representative well-acquainted with the British Lewis to offer a view from the other side of the Atlantic.
The ultimate aim is not only to offer up a more robust understanding of the reasons for Lewis's uncommon impact in America, but also to shed additional light on the nature and character of American culture and religion during the past half century.
What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?
There is free parking available for those attending the conference in the Billy Graham Center parking lot and elsewhere on and adjacent to the Wheaton College campus.
Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?
You may contact the Wade Center by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by telephone at 630-752-5908.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
You may wish to bring your printed registration form just in case, but the conference organizers will have a record of your registration so a printed ticket is not necessary.
In order to purchase these tickets in installments, you'll need an Eventbrite account. Log in or sign up for a free account to continue.

Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. Wearing full rim eyewear, you make it unmistakably clear that you are going the whole hog. The frame is reminiscent of an inverted trapeze. Because the frame is wider at the top, the side edges narrow downwards, giving a softer look to the face. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The VO2714 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. The colour violet stands for individuality, creativity and self-confidence. It flatters almost every skin tone and from the point of view of style can be combined in many ways.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.

Cold Case Solved
The body was found in the woods in 1966, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that some new information and modern day technology helped solve the case.
In the beginning, it seemed like a cut and dry case, but what it turned into was a mystery that lasted 41 years. In 1966, a skull and other skeletal remains were found near Cross Creek along with an i.d badge for 24 year old missing soldier named James Harold Thomas. There was only one problem.
"When they sent for his military record, his dental records sent to the
FBI did not match. We think they may have gotten the dental records
mixed up," Detective Robert Dean with the Alachua County Sheriff's Office said.
After the dental records didn't match, detectives didn't know where to go with their investigation, so they filed it in their cold case files. That is until they found out Thomas had a sister, and brought the D.N.A samples from her to UF so they could compare the two.
UF Biological Scientist Ginger Clark said, "You have your mother's mitochondrial D.N.A. In this case, he and his sister both have the same mitochondrial D.N.A. Because they had the same mother. So, we were looking at comparing those two DNAs which should be identical to make sure they were."
Because of the D.N.A. samples, the body has been identified as James Harold Thomas. It gives his sister, who is now 64, some closure in the death of her brother.
For years, investigators believed Thomas killed his companion, whose gear was found in his car, and then switched i.d.s with him. But now it seems he's the victim, and his killer is still on the loose.
"It looks at this time, he may have been killed by a blow to the back of the head. However, there was a weapon at the scene that had a spent round in the chamber, a .22 bolt-action rifle. However, there is no evidence of any gunshot wound. But there are pieces, because the body was out so long, there are pieces of the skeletal remains that are missing and were never recovered."
Since Thomas did not have connections to the area, authorities are now trying to figure out who accompanied him on the trip from the military base in Texas to Cross Creek. They are also going to send a death certificate to the military so that he will no longer be considered a deserter.

Developer- and Publisher-specific Articles: Guerrilla Games
Horizon Zero Dawn sales over 2.5 million in first two weeks
Sony has sent word that Guerrilla's latest open-world action title of Horizon Zero Dawn has sold over 2.6 million units in stores and online. The title has been out for two weeks, allowing players to explore a ruin-filled world as the young hunter Aloy, which represents a departure for the studio, known for their first-person shooter series Killzone. The release also notes that it is "the best-selling new first party IP launch on the PS4 system to date" as well the developer's highest debut.

Get up to speed on Killzone: Shadow Fall with new story trailer
A new story trailer has been released for Killzone: Shadow Fall. The PS4 launch title, developed by series creator Guerilla Games, is set 30 years after Killzone 3. The two-and-a-half-minute trailer details the current state of affairs between the Helghast, Vektans, and ISA. After the ruin of Helghan, the remaining Helghast have been resettled on Vekta, separated from the Vektans by ISA security. The world is on the verge of war as each side gears up to battle over supremacy of the planet.
(PlayStation 3 Review) Killzone 3
…provides a strong if uneven single-player experience and a fantastic multiplayer component that's sure to offer a few solid months of addictive action.
Killzone 3 now available, Helghast still looking to kill you
The Helghast are a determined lot. After two sound beatings—by me, at least—they are back at the ISA's throats with the newly launched Killzone 3. But things are a bit different this time as the Helghast are now leaderless, thanks to us and the ISA in Killzone 2, and warring between themselves. Stuck in the middle of a civil war, with no hope of reinforcements or supplies, players must fight their way out with their ISA brethren. All is not lost, though, as there will be a new WASP missile launcher, jet packs, Intruders, and new melee system to fight back the Helghast hordes.

Advances Help Eclipse Fire Fatalities
Annual report addresses fire/life-safety market's trends, technologies, controversies, codes and opportunities. Learn how fire systems contractors can continue to build on a 20-year run of declining incidents, deaths and injuries.
3 Elements Comprise Solution
Mass notification is defined by UFC 4-021-01 as " … the capability to provide real-time information to all building occupants or personnel in the immediate vicinity of a building during emergency situations. To reduce the risk of mass casualties, there must be a timely means to notify building occupants of threats and what should be done in response to those threats. Pre-recorded and live voice emergency messages are required by this UFC to provide this capability."
In order to make this happen, UFC provides the information that architects, electrical engineers, and other qualified parties need in order to design and install an effective MNS. Not only does this document cover the when and where with regard to DOD usage, but also the manner in which the technology is to be applied. The technological considerations contained therein can be applied to the private sector as well.
Because of the similarities between MNSs and fire alarm systems, UFC classifies them under the same life-safety heading, with the former taking priority over the latter. Both types of systems are based on fault-tolerant technologies, meaning they are designed to work in the most adverse conditions.
A typical mass notification solution is comprised of three basic elements: 1) individual building MNSs; 2) wide-area MNSs; and 3) high power speaker arrays (HPSA).
By utilizing selective paging techniques it's possible to send a number of distinctly different messages to a number of areas within a facility, all at the same time. These messages can consist of verbal instructions, unique tones and a variety of visual aides designed to convey a message. This helps assure the occupants respond in a specific way in order to maintain safety.
Outside speakers can be placed on buildings in an individual building MNS, but UFC limits the area of coverage to a maximum of 100 feet.
When dealing with a large campus, a wide-area MNS will work the best. However, for large public areas such as football and baseball stadiums, a HPSA provides the best coverage at higher audio output levels. Intelligibility becomes an issue to consider; by degrading the rated area of coverage of each speaker array, large audio outputs can be made more intelligible.
As with all life-safety systems, all aspects relating to notification and initiation must be supervised. This includes adequate standby capacity when the public electric power is lost for extended periods. For example, under UFC HPSA systems must contain a backup power source with a capacity of 72 hours following the commencement of a blackout. For a more comprehensive look at this technology and how to successfully make it part of your company's product and service offerings, see "Mass Notification Appeal".
Multicriteria Detection Arrives
The industry has long awaited the arrival of a multiple-criteria fire detection device capable of integrating a number of sensory inputs. System Sensor recently re
leased such a detector that monitors an environment for carbon monoxide (CO), temperature, smoke and open flame.
Traditional spot detection provides separate smoke and heat detection with the addition of a thermal sensor. By adding flame and CO detection to the mix, and by introducing intelligence into the detector, we can now make a more educated decision as to when to evacuate buildings and summon the fire department.
For example, when there's smoke and CO in the same room, it's likely there's a fire. This is because an open flame usually raises the CO level in its vicinity. At the same time, today's thermal detectors are capable of detecting the slightest increase in ambient temperature in a room.
By placing all of this information into a central microprocessor, it's possible to avert false alarms while assuring early warning detection when it's appropriate. This was not always possible in the past.
Sprinklers Offer Additional RMR
One of the most overlooked areas in life safety for the fire alarm technician is sprinkler system monitoring. With the recent increase in emphasis by NFPA and other organizations come more opportunities for alarm companies to increase their recurring revenue income.
Sprinkler systems come in all shapes and sizes — from residential applications to gigantic high-rise facilities — and are high on the to-do list among fire and facility authorities. Almost every new building that meets International Code Council (ICC) criteria is fitted with a compliant sprinkler system. There are several types of sprinkler systems with which fire alarm technicians must contend. The most common are the wet, dry and deluge systems.
