Pakshir, Amir Hossein (2010) Comparative assessment of road network trip distribution using growth factor and gravity modeling techniques. Masters thesis, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Civil Engineering.
PDF (Abstract)

PDF (References)
Growth factor and gravity model techniques are useful in sequential forecasting of ravel demand on any road network. Both have commonalities in terms of independent parameters, however, growth factors relies on historic growth rate for prediction while gravity model relies on socio-economic variables or friction factor. Trip distribution is an iterative procedure. Based on the data from recent trip generation study in Skudai town, Malaysia, the number of trips generated by one zone and attracted to another zone would be computed using both the growth factor and gravity model techniques. The outcomes would then be compared and contrasted. It is hoped that the project would shed light on the advantages and disadvantages of these technique, in essence point to the appropriate method employable in a given situation.

Victorien Sardou (September 5, 1831 - November 8, 1908) was a French dramatist. He is perhaps best remembered today for the play La Tosca (1887) on which Giacomo Puccini's opera Tosca (1900) is based. The fedora hat is named after another of his plays. He was born in Paris. The Sardous were settled at Le Cannet, a village near Cannes, where they owned an estate, planted with olive trees. A night's frost killed all the trees and the family was ruined. Victorien's father, Antoine Léandre Sardou, came to Paris in search of employment. He was in succession a book-keeper at a commercial establishment, a professor of book-keeping, the head of a provincial school, then a private tutor and a schoolmaster in Paris, besides editing grammars, dictionaries and treatises on various subjects.

The future of Nine Entertainment remained uncertain last night as creditors continued talks designed to save the Nine Network owner from receivership.
Hedge funds which control $2.7 billion of Nine's senior debt are attempting to negotiate a restructure of the company with the network's private equity owners, CVC, and Goldman Sachs, which represents holders of $1.1 billion lower-ranked debts.
Hedge funds Apollo Global Management and Oaktree Capital, which own more than half of Nine's senior debt, want a debt-for-equity swap that would give them 100 per cent of Nine.
Goldman Sachs, representing the lower-ranking mezzanine debt holders, who are owed $1.1 billion, is proposing a deal that would give senior lenders 70 per cent of Nine while mezzanine debt holders get the remaining 30 per cent. If the two sides cannot agree by next month there will not be enough time to settle a deal before the first tranche of debt falls due in February. A breach of CVC's quarterly debt covenants could trigger immediate payment of all its debt, according to Nine's financial accounts from last year.

Asia Pacific Adobe Education Leadership Forum@ Sheraton on Park, Sydney, Au.
Part 1 of 5
Being the first major Adobe event that I've attended I was not quite sure of what to expect. However, the surprises were to be all mine.
Arriving at the Sheraton after walking up from the Quay I found myself a little disconcerted at the number of 'suits' in attendance, the place seemed to be well stocked with the high end of town. With not a familiar face to be found, I grabbed a coffee, checked my mail and waited in the palatial surrounds of the Conference area.
I'd barely finished a coffee when Andy Sommer (Communications Manager for Australia and New Zealand) came up and introduced himself. We briefly discussed some of the glitch areas for IT in the public system and then he called across Jon Perara, (Vice President Adobe Education) who was crossing the floor nearby, and I had the pleasure of a brief talk with Jon before they both had to move on to prepare for other things.
Once inside the conference room it was obvious that the numbers were above initial expectations, very squeezy and cozy.
After an initial overview by the Peter McAlpine,MC for the day, Jon Perara spoke at length on a range of developments with technology in education.
Transformation of the Pedagogical Paradigm
The introductory push was provided via a video promoting a new tablet device that the government of India was distributing to schools at around $50 per unit. I found myself a bit dubious about the claims that it could do "everything a computer can do" given that it was contextualized within the confines of being able to connect to the Internet and handle email, and whilst the screenshots clearly indicated that it had quite a few apps on it, none of their functionality was mentioned. Nice….but I'll stick with my iPad.
Perara is an impressive speaker. Obviously well prepared, knowledgeable, intelligent and articulate, he fluently and often humorously, addressed a range of developments and concerns around IT in education. What came out of it for me was the lack of preparedness there is here in the Australia educational arena to harness the diverse advantages afforded by the obvious onslaught of portable devices into daily usage. Perara pointed to stats demonstrating that over twice as many portable devices had shipped as opposed to personal computers this year and that students no longer saw computers as their primary device.
However the elephant in the room was the obvious lack of uniformity on policy, re- mobile devices in schools and districts in the US and the somewhat archaic approach to their access and use in Australia, particularly here in NSW under DEC policy. (This is my reading based on posts across a range of educational forums)
STEM vs STEAM
Perara went on to discuss the advantages offered to students by integrating mobile technologies in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) schools in the US. Although not an unfamiliar dialogue for me, I found myself musing on a similiar thematic posed by educators in the US, viz,. that there's no STEAM in the STEM education model. Given that in a recent survey in the US, 80% of students cited creativity as a core competency, why aren't the Arts included in the STEM model?
As an Art, Photography and Design teacher I find it easy for my students to understand the significance of creative thinking; it's importance as a key contributor to social wellbeing, technological / scientific innovation and as the foundation for culture (Art, Music, Literature, Education etc.) How is it that the people who wield influence (Politicians, Legislators, Policy makers etc.), don't get it?
Getting sidetracked? There's a chance…
Back to the roundup. (I'm trawling 7 pages of unedited notes here) ..Perara went on to discuss a number of key trends including the global nature of work, the use of Social Media, Cloud based technologies and Touch devices. He spoke briefly about the work of "taking it global", a student based initiative that used geo-technology to track deforestation, and the impact this was having on perception and policy.
Mention was made, that by 2016, 30% of Americans will own tablet devices and by 2015 60% of university data would be 'Cloud' driven. In relation to this, it was touted that Tablet and Mobile devices are identified as the ideal means to expose personal, corporate and design based creative activity to a wider audience. I can buy this, personally, as there are a significant number of publications and applications that I would never had looked at, subscribed to, been exposed to or used if I had not owned a tablet and/or mobile device. So for me there's merit in exploring these avenues as enrichment.
The remaining part of the presentation dipped in and out of notions of 'self service IT". Apps such as 'LIveBInders' , OnLive desktop, Adobe Edge, Acrobat Professional, Ideaopolis, Adobe Kuler, Adobe Collage and web based services such as 'Edmodo' (which now incorporates 'Google Docs integration, and the recently launched Edmodo Platform and API) featured along with 'FlavoursMe" (an online interface that allows you to organize display content from 35 or so services into one online presence).
A light was shone briefly on the possibilities offered by Cloud based rendering. Cloud based rendering is obviously a hot issue, but one that that still leaves me a little cold. Whilst nice for professionals and small studios, most schools would find themselves struggling with bandwidth issues where rendering video content was concerned. It also begs the question, what do you really need it for? If you are working in Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, InDesign, Soundbooth, LIghtroom, Dreamweaver, Audition, etc. why would you need to step outside the capability of you desktop or laptop to render out work produced in these apps. After Effects and Premiere Pro I can understand, but if you have a huge project wouldn't you outsource a render farm or set up your school network to act as one? I'm not sure that I buy the idea.
An initiative that did fascinate me was one run by Globaloria……@ http://www.globaloria.org/, a US company working with disadvantaged schools and students who have never touched a computer. They were training students to use Flash Technology with a view to providing students with a background for using Flash with high-end graphics as demonstrated in recent developments with the "Unreal" gaming engine.
And so ends the first tag of the day. The remaining posts on this will go to a new site. The URL for which I'll post later if anyone wants to follow the rest of the story.
What I did walk away with after Jon had spoken was the sense of a real need to push the awareness of the Adobe Education Community out to Australian teachers. There is very little content on the site relevant to curriculum here in Australia and no doubt anything posted by Australian teachers would struggle to find relevance in the US or Canada. It would be nice to see Adobe plug this with the DEC. I'll certainly be working from my end to get the message out there.
Thanks for this piece. Having just jumped in as an AEL this piece helped explain what the Adobe events are about.
An interesting point you make, "What I did walk away with … It would be nice to see Adobe plug this with the DEC." Interesting because the default SOE image on all DEC rollout computers, K-12 and TAFE, is the Adobe Design suite for Teachers and the Elements for students. Yet, no training courses. A wasted resource.
Is there something in the pipeline?

Lensmate announces the Canon Powershot G16/G15 Quick-Change Filter Holder 52mm.
Now you can add filters to your G16/G15 without a bulky tube adapter.
Only the tiny receiver stays on the camera (it adds only 3mm to the depth of the camera). The filter/filter holder assembly bayonets onto the receiver for quick changes without having to thread the filter on and off. The filter holder is retained by a low tension locking system, so very little torque is applied to the lens barrel when attaching and detaching it.
There is no chance of flash blockage at any focal length (with the filter holder removed), since the receiver is the same diameter as the end of the lens barrel. The receiver adds only 3mm (about 1/8") to the total depth of the G16/G15 camera. It attaches to the camera using a 3M dual-sided adhesive film which holds tenaciously yet is easy to remove cleanly and safely when desired.
We designed the system so that the filter remains in the filter holder and is attached/detached as an assembly. The filter holder bayonets onto camera with less than 90ø of rotation to the locked position.
The low tension locking system assures that the lens barrel won't be harmed by over-enthusiastic tightening (or loosening) of the filter. The ability to quick-change the filter in changing light conditions without having to thread/unthread should appeal to filter users.
The Canon G16/G15 Quick-Change Filter Holder kit is comprised of the following:
Canon G16/G15 Quick-Change Filter Adapter attachment directions.
Important Tips
We recommend attaching and detaching filters from the filter holder when it's off the camera. In fact, you can't unscrew the filter from the filter holder on the camera because it will just remove the filter/ holder assembly as it was designed to do. Don't over tighten the filter - it requires little force to stay attached to the holder.
If you use a snug fitting bag or case, we recommend removing the filter holder/filter assembly before stowing the camera. If you do leave it on, be sure to check that the filter holder is still in the locked position when you use it again.
Some polarizers rotate with enough friction to remove the filter holder assembly when rotated in the direction of removal. If this happens, rotate the polarizer in the direction of attachment only.
If you use a wrist strap, be aware that jostling can dislodge the filter holder from the camera.

I am finding a whole bunch of products where the authors have been absent a year or longer. Which is truly sad because there's a lot of great products I would have bought.
Is there any way to report a product that has been abandoned?
When you say that the author has been absent for a year or more, how are you coming to this conclusion? I'm not saying you are wrong just wondering how you know this – if it's the case then I think it would really be a benefit for everyone if Envato had a way of people submitting a link to an item for the support staff to attempt to contact the author for confirmation – we wouldn't want them to just disable items immediately but if it's obvious no one is around then it's not benefitting buyers who may unknowingly buy an item where no one is around to answer questions or offer the optional support.
I'm going to hit the staff reply button to see.
Great question!
Nice question, I've seen inactive items before but for around 6mos I guess, by viewing the last comment and updates. If you really want to buy the item, contact the author directly (maybe the support stops for that item only) or to support staff.
I see why the words like "abandoned" and "inactive" are used here. You might be coming to the conclusion based on the author's interaction in the comment section and the latest update date of item. Of course it mostly reflects the guarantee of future updates and fixes.
But reporting an abandoned product wont make any difference (except removing it from list). It is upto the buyers to just pick the ones that are maintained well and ignore the items that are not taken care – easy to notice. It can be more of a personal choice (for buyers) instead of a rule. (speaking only about TF and CC marketplaces where support & maintenance requires)
If somebody gets a full time job and has no time anymore to make items, then i think that is a happy reason to be temporarily inactive. Recently i had a really good commission that will keep me fully occupied until November, but i still check in every day to see if any support is needed. Some people may have given up here due to no sales. And let's not forget the possibility of a few authors dying from illness or accident. Before buying an item needing support then i would contact the author beforehand, just to ask if they can offer it.
I think there should be a button or something to flag an item as "abandoned". Just a quick browse and I found a couple where the live preview doesn't work and many unanswered questions are in the comments section. Don't need to remove it, but maybe take down the live preview button if there isn't a "live preview".
maybe there should be an "activity" line in the profile (so that buyers can see if he is active) written like:
"Last Logged in dd/mm/yy" or maybe "Last logged in xx days/months/years ago"
Anyways… It not always the case… An author has given his item and it has been accepted, he MAY or MAY NOT choose to give support to the buyers. It is an option and so even if he is active, he might not give support…
I have also seen some authors who do not upload stuff nor comment or be in the forums, they just count their sales and withdraw
Flagging it as abandoned would just make a big mess in the marketplaces…
IngeniousArtist said

That's a bad idea unless they fix the 'logged in' system, my current logged in status has said I've not logged in, in weeks, simply because I never log out.
No, showing on the profile when we logged in is a bad idea, I already had some clients that though my e-mail is a live chat system, sometimes I login just to check the forums and see what's new, not to answer comments. When some of the customers will see that I just logged in on the site but didn't answer their comments immediately, I don't even want to imagine what the next comments will look like
...and thanks to the trends or whatever, the marketplaces (like TF & CC) become a "hire free service" kind of business instead of "buy products". We are sold at the cost of micro-stock and with the efforts of freelance service.
Not exactly pointing about the original posts nature but we definitely see a graph of buyer expectations "curving" in this route!

Victoria Beckham Takes Baby Harper to Watch Son Play Soccer (PHOTOS)
Victoria Beckham and daughter Harper Seven may not have dressed up on Sunday, but they were still cheerleaders. The fashionista mom and her well dressed baby sat on the sidelines watching Victoria's son Brooklyn playing soccer in Los Angeles, Calif.
The designer was dressed a bit more casually then usual, spotted wearing jeans (gasp!), a black blouse and a pair of big sunglasses.
This may be the most style-savvy baby in town, no offense to Rachel Zoe's baby boy.
The two have even been spotted shopping in NYC!

Covering the
technology and the marketplace — coordination among
industry and international standards
NFPA administers fluid power standards
development at two levels:
Industry—NFPA maintains
industry standards. The NFPA Technical Board has
the responsibility of leading these activities.
International—ISO Technical
Committee 131 (ISO/TC 131) comprises participants from all
over the world who come together to develop International
(ISO) Standards. As of May 2011, 204 have been published
and approximately another 49 are in development (new standards
and revisions of current standards). The U.S. TAG to ISO/TC
131 is the national committee that develops the U.S.'s input
on International Standards and selects people to represent the
U.S. at international meetings.
The focus of NFPA's standards programs is on
developing International Standards for the global marketplace,
especially in the areas of design for interchangeability,
testing, rating methods, safety, communications and
calibration. NFPA adopted this focus in 1997 to accommodate
leading customers who want international standards; to
eliminate duplication of work from the creation and
maintenance of overlapping industry and

A few weeks ago, I heard a senior person in the Obama administration talk about the situation in Syria. One of the problems with Bashar al-Assad, he said, was that the Syrian leader was still surrounded by his father's old cronies. But one positive development, he mused, was that it was no longer possible simply to kill 10,000 protesters in a single city, as Hafez al-Assad once did.
I wonder whether that may be too optimistic? Read more

The Puck Stops Here
Highest Scoring Team
by PuckStopsHere on 02/19/12 at 03:16 PM ET
Comments (0)
The Philadelphia Flyers have recently become the highest scoring team in the league surpassing the Boston Bruins. The Flyers have 3.31 goals per game versus the Bruins 3.27 goals per game.
The Flyers have successfully remade their offence this summer as they traded Jeff Carter to Columbus and Mike Richards to Los Angeles. This season their top scorers are Claude Giroux, Scott Hartnell and Jaromir Jagr. Giroux first showed his ability to be a top scorer last season when he led the team in scoring. He scored 76 points. This year he is on pace to eclipse that with 96 points.
Hartnell has a career best 60 points. He is currently on pace for 76 points. Jagr has had high scoring season in the past but he spent the last three years playing in the KHL and at age 40 it wasn't clear that he this left in his career.
Their next depth scorers are newcomers to the team as well. Wayne Simmonds was acquired in the Mike Richards trade and Matt Read is a rookie.
Last year's second highest scorer Danny Briere has not been able to match last year's numbers. Ville Leino and Kris Versteeg were significant depth scorers with the Flyers last year and they both left as free agents. In fact only three of the Flyers top seven scorers from last season (Giroux, Hartnell and Briere) remain with the team.
It is expected with that kind of turnover that it will take a while for things to come together. That hasn't happened with the Philadelphia offence. It has been strong this year. Their problem has been keeping the puck out of their net. The Flyers have the sixth worst goals against in the league this season.
Ilya Bryzgalov has not been the solution in goal. With Chris Pronger's injury, the Flyers have taken a hit on defence. Kimmo Timonen, Matt Carle and Braydon Coburn have been the top remaining Flyer defencemen. This group isn't good enough without a healthy Pronger to dominate games.
The Philadelphia Flyers offence has been the best in the league so far this year. This is a surprise considering the level of turnover they have had. They have not been strong preventing goals but have been able to score more goals than they allow. This places them in fourth seed in the East Conference. It is strong enough that they may win a round or two in the playoffs. With a better defence this is a Stanley Cup contender.

Moreover, it cures the original freeze ;)) First off, I certainly agree with your analysis of the situation. But instead of adding a new client function, why not just change the existing client lib to simply close the socket on timeout? Any further attempts to use the socket would return an error (or we could even get really nifty and auto-reconnect). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

If God has given you a vision to either begin a ministry or be a part of one, you are in the right place. No matter who you are being called to reach or where, Fireproof can help you get started. As the founder of a strip club ministry, the support, encouragement, training, and resources made available to me through Fireproof and Strip Church have been invaluable. God never intended for any of us to go alone, and being able to network with those who are ahead of you makes embarking on the journey so much sweeter. You will find people who sincerely care about you, take an interest in you personally, pray for you, and invest in the God sized vision before you.
Fireproof Ministries has just enough manpower and guts to completely leverage itself against a monster - in this case, sexual addiction. Working with Fireproof Ministries is like guerilla warfare and it's awesome. Often it feels like no-holds-barred conversations about Jesus, one-on-ten, with the vision of a decade down the road when those ten will be doing the same thing, and freedom will blot out slavery because it's Jesus running the show.
After working with Fireproof Ministries for about three years, this is my perspective.
I heard about Fireproof Ministries from my brother a little over a month ago and I was completely blown away by the amount of love and help I have received from them. I was thinking I was just going to write a quick email, get a quick response and that would be the end of that but it was not. I sent an email and within minutes received a response wanting to set up a phone call to make it more personal. I have weekly contact with FM and it is amazing. It is def a sincere, genuine desire of theirs to reach out an help other who are where they may have been. Its so nice to know that when I am down about life or struggling with situations, I always have FM to turn to for support, advise, prayer or whatever I may need at the moment. They have truly been a blessing to me and have helped me start to get my life back...it will be a long road but I know that they will be there to help me each step of the way, i couldnt ask for more!
Fireproof Ministries continues to be on the edge of ministry, creating innovative ways to help others with Nonprofitland. They never stop moving, working, or finding new ways to serve all kinds of people. I've exchanged emails with several staff at Fireproof and every interaction has been quick and kind. They truly believe in their ministry and continue to blaze a trail that few have followed.

Fireproof Ministries is the Church in full swing. They truly model Jesus' way of walking with the people. I've seen Fireproof Ministries tirelessly find new and creative ways to reach people, keeping the focus on love and support, from the prayer forums and support groups to awareness campaigns, addressing finally the elephant in the room. The genuine love and compassion for Ron Jeremy and all those in similar industries goes beyond where the church has been able to reach in her history.
Fireproof Ministries (XXXChurch) is one of the most dynamic, creative, and courageous non-profits I have ever been acquainted with. For the last 10 years, they have tackled issues many were (and still are) afraid to tackle - the damaging effects of pornography, both for the producer and the consumer. XXXChurch also has an incredible ability to have an enormous, international reach with a relatively small operational budget. Their operations are streamlined yet effective, and they are never afraid to try new approaches to draw attention to these critical issues affecting millions around the world. I completely support the work of this organization with my time, money, and energy.
Always a life being changed, a new opportunity being developed to reach people, and an unwavering commitment to shining the light of Jesus into the dark pain and hurt of our world. Privileged to be a part of such a growing and impactful organization.
The roll that Fireproof has played in my life far exceeds any other organization. It has helped me personally and helped my marriage HUGE! They aren't afraid to tell the truth in a real and authentic ways. The impact and influence is far beyond encouraging and inspiring. They are in the business of saving lives and that is exactly what they do. I will forever be grateful.

WOW. Thank you for this feedback. It is so encouraging for us to be reminded from time to time that we really are changing the world... one life at a time. God bless you. -Michelle
I have never heard of any other organization that even dares to do the type of outreach that Fireproof Ministries does through XXXchurch and Strip Church. This is an incredible organization that desires to reach those who are often forgotten in our society. They are always coming up with new ideas and approaches to helping those caught consuming or working in the adult entertainment industry.
Fireproof Ministries is the most refreshing ministry I have seen in a long time. They are not scared to get outside their comfort zone and help those in need. They don't think outside the box, they threw the box away and love people right where they are at. I have been involved with this ministry for several years now and have seen first hand the impact that has been made in the lives of people.
Fireproof Ministries has been a catalyst for incredible organizations, namely "To Write Love on Her Arms" and many others through their Launch 501c3 initiative. FM doesn't exist for itself and their projects XXXChurch, Strip Church and Heart Support, they have shown that they are all about caring for people and developing organizations. Craig Gross, Jake Larson, Ryan Russell, the Board of Directors and staff and are great people and talented leaders. I have been a fan of FM since 2000 and am glad to call many of them friends.

Beijing (AFP) Feb 16, 2016
China will move nearly 10,000 people to make way for the world's largest radio telescope which promises to help humanity search for alien life, state media reported on Tuesday.
The Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), nestled between hills in the southwestern province of Guizhou, is due to start operation this year.
Provincial officials have vowed to relocate 9,110 residents living within five kilometres of the listening device by September, the official Xinhua news agency said.
The relocations will "create a sound electromagnetic wave environment", it cited a top regional official named Li Yuecheng as saying.
Residents will receive 12,000 yuan ($1,800) in subsidies for their troubles, with some getting extra support for housing, it said.
FAST, built at a cost of 1.2 billion yuan, will dwarf the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico as the world's largest radio telescope, which is some 300 metres in diameter.
Xinhua earlier cited Wu Xiangping, director-general of the Chinese Astronomical Society, as saying that the telescope's high level of sensitivity "will help us to search for intelligent life outside of the galaxy".
In the past China has relocated hundreds of thousands of people to make way for large infrastructure projects such as dams and canals. Many complain of poor compensation.
The area surrounding the telescope is remote and relatively poor. Xinhua earlier said it was chosen because there are no major towns nearby.
As well as upping investment in astronomy, Beijing is accelerating its multi-billion-dollar space exploration programme, with plans for a permanent orbiting station by 2020 and eventually a manned mission to the moon.

I just signed up with authorize.net and plan to use their SIM. In reading the implementation guide, they say you can include a stylesheet in the header to include things like logo, etc.. Are there any guidelines to follow for this stylesheet, i.e. size and positioning of images... I know there are tutorials for creating good twitter pages, but does anything like that exist for an authorize.net SIM hosted payment page?
I used this guide to stylish the SIM payment form:http://developer.authorize.net/guides/SIM/Submitting_Transactions/Customizing_the_Hosted_Payment_Form.htm
BTW, I would recommend you to change the layout of this form, but no very heavy, because your customer must understand that he/she left your site and now make a payment on secure authorize.ner site.

Revitol Natural Eye Cream
Natural Eye Cream For Dark Under Eye Circles And Puffy Eyes
Do you have dark, puffy circles under your eyes and feel as if it makes you look 10 years older?
All Natural Eye Creams
Then you may want to consider a treatment like Revitol Eye Cream.
While there are a lot of anti-aging products on the market, Reviotl's advanced formula has been proven to tackle wrinkles, fine lines, puffiness and the dark under-eye circles leaving your eyes noticeably refreshed and youthful-looking.
Home Cures for Dark Circles
If you're not quite ready to try a commercial product there are a few things you can do at home to try and rid yourself of dark, puffy eyes.
First, stay well hydrated and make sure to protect your eyes using sunscreen. Second, place cool wet teabags over the puffy areas (or sliced cucumbers) for 15 minutes.
Finally include Antioxidants in your diet like blueberries, green tea, currants, and parsley.
Unfortunately many people find that the home made cures have little or no effect, and turn to products like Revitol to get sure-fire results.
What causes Dark Circles?
The skin under your eyes is very thin and delicate. When capillaries release blood near the surface of that skin, it takes on the appearance of bruising and bagginess.
In some people when this happens regularly the bruising may never go away! To combat that, Revitol Eye Cream put together natural components with moisturizing emollients.
This blend isn't greasy, it gets into your skin cells quickly and immediately makes your skin smoother.
Revitol Natural Eye Cream Ingredients
The key ingredients in Revitol include:
- Bisabolol: Bisabolol comes from Chamomile. It's a product that eases irritation, decreases puffiness, and gives your skin a smoother appearance and fee. Bisabolol has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial qualities.
- Chrysin: Chrysin is a flavonoid that tones down the bruised appearance of the under-eye skin. Chrysin is an anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory.
- N-Hydroxycicinimide: This reduces dark pigmentation
- Niacinamide: Don't let the long name fool you, this is just a type of Vitamin B complex and niacin that's water soluble and improves your skin's ability to retain moisture.
These ingredients make Revitol generally safe for all skin types.

Ridley Terminals Purchased Artwork From Northern BC Artist Rayna Dehoog
November 4th, 2013 - Smithers, BC
In the past two years Ridley Terminals Inc. (RTI) has spent $100,000 purchasing art pieces from northern BC artists. The initiative was so successful that they are doing it again for 2013. The announcement was made at the West Coast Wild art show at the Lester Center on Tuesday, March 12, 2013.
The premise behind the initiative is to support the fine arts by purchasing art work from northern BC artists, then donating the purchased art to charities to use in their fundraising efforts. This process allows for the distribution of northern BC art to various locations throughout the province, which benefits the artist, as they become known to a larger audience. In addition, the charities benefit from the art work by using it in their fundraising endeavours.
Three external judges will review all of the submissions and make the final art selections.
Once all of the submissions are received The Museum of Northern BC has agreed to showcase all of the art that we have purchased through this initiative in their gallery. Once the exhibit closes, the art will be packaged up and donated to various charities.
August 28, 2013
To Rayna Dehoog,
I am pleased to inform you of your successful submission to the 2013 Ridley Terminals Northern
Art Initiative. The judges have deliberated and they have chosen your piece entitled Tiger of the
Streams, which is priced at $2500.00. You can expect a cheque in the mail in 3-4 weeks.
All of the art pieces that we will purchase will be displayed at the Museum of Northern British
Columbia in Prince Rupert during the month of November, therefore we require your piece to be delivered to our office no later than September 16 2013. Once the details of the exhibit are finalized I will send you that information via email. As was stated in the initial proposal package, the price submitted in your proposal had to include crating and shipping. Please ensure your packaging is sturdy enough for repackaging to a secondary destination, as all artwork will be donated to registered charities to use in their fundraising efforts. Also, please make sure that your piece has the required hanging materials and accessories attached to it for proper display in the gallery.
We appreciate your interest in our art initiative and I look forward to receiving your art piece. If
you have any further questions please do not contact the museum, contact me directly at 250-627-3585 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Michelle Bryant,
Corporate Affairs Manager

Loopy 'K-PAX' is lost in Spacey
By Claudia Puig, USA TODAY
(out of four)
Stars: Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges, Alfre Woodard, Mary McCormack
Director: Iain Softley
Distributor: Universal Pictures
Rating: PG-13 for violent images, brief language and sensuality
Besides being saddled with the year's worst title (conjuring
images of a politically correct NPR station or a bioterrorist agent), this misguided
movie is shackled by its own overreaching sense of importance and foggy earnestness.
Some of the actors acquit themselves, notably Jeff Bridges, who makes almost
any role credible, and Alfre Woodard as a skeptical doctor with, sadly, not
enough screen time. As impressive as Kevin Spacey ordinarily is, this isn't
the best vehicle for his considerable talents. After seminal performances in
important films such as American Beauty, L.A. Confidential and The
Usual Suspects (and in the lesser-seen, but no less impressive, Swimming
With Sharks and The Big Kahuna), this role is a let-down.
Spacey plays Prot, an enigmatic mental patient who professes
to be from the planet K-PAX. Prot is sometimes elusive and remote, sometimes
uncommonly kind and compassionate, occasionally snide and humorously mordant.
No one else excels at caustic sarcasm like Spacey, and one aches to see him
again in roles calling for that trait.
Lately, alas, he has been drawn to more uplifting and heavy-handed
fare, such as last year's Pay It Forward. K-PAX is in a similar
vein, a queasy amalgamation of Awakenings, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's
Nest and Starman, which also starred Bridges.
Here, Bridges plays psychiatrist Mark Powell, whose obsession
with divining whether the mild-mannered wacko is delusional or a bona fide extraterrestrial
jeopardizes his own family relationships. (Of course, as in most message-drenched
movies, the unbalanced Prot helps the otherwise shrewd Powell to redress his
own failures.)
Prot is no run-of-the-mill alien from nearby Mars or Venus;
he hails from a planet 1,000 light-years away. And when he says he plans to
return home, the other patients in the mental hospital compete to go back with
him. If you've seen any other movie set in an asylum, you can pretty much predict
how things will play out. Prot restores the hope of the profoundly depressed,
the dignity of the demented and the speech of the catatonic.
Ultimately, the film posits that it doesn't matter whether
Prot is a madman or a more evolved being from outer space: Either way, he has
made a huge impact on the inmates and on Powell. But exactly what he has taught
them remains murky. That there's a fine line between sanity and insanity? That
science doesn't have all the answers? That bananas are tastiest eaten with the
peel still on?
One walks out of this film with more questions than answers.
But the question that burns longest is, "When will Kevin Spacey go back to doing
what he does best?"

The sixth chapter is more character developing than we are used to but one of the highlights of this volume. Mostly because we finally get to see Sylar's real father.
So, Sylar finally arrives at daddy's house only to find a man (John Glover a.k.a. Lionel Luthor from Smallville) who is suffering from cancer and spends his last moments on taxidermy (making real alive animals into fake ones). Sylar's first thoughts is to kill him but ends up listening to him especially when his father starts giving him tips about his ability (which is the same as Sylar's). Sylar even gets to do his old man's job as he kills a rabbit and makes it plastic. When Sylar's regenerative ability is revealed accidentilly to Samson Gray, the latter one figures if he had that ability he might escape death after all (something which had given up a long time ago). So, he attacks Sylar using one of his abilities (sedation) and tries to steal it from his son. Sylar however proves stronger and manages to escape. His father then asks him to give him that ability since it won't hurt Sylar (as he will heal immediately) but Sylar refuses. Then Samson begs him to kill him but Sylar leaves him there to suffer through his disease and die alone (thinking that will be the best punishment and torture for killing his mom and trying to deceive him). He then leaves and arrives at Danko's appartment (probably influenced by his father's talk about Sylar and the fact that he always goes after the weak and when a strong person appears he runs away much like he did in chapter 1: a clear and present danger of this volume). Claire, after she is paid a visit by Eric Doyle, is torn on whether she should help him or not. Despite that she decides to take a job at Sam's comics (Alex's former job) in order to help the special people while keeping trouble outside her house. Successfully getting the job, she gets a message from Rebel to save Doyle from the same agents that were after Alex in the previous chapter. Running to his aide, Doyle is saved. Claire manages to get him a new ID and a new life so he can live freely (the continuance of Eric's life is shown in a series of webisodes). Arriving home, she gets another message from Rebel warning her that her pass is up and to run away. When the agents get inside, Claire is saved by non other than Nathan.
Matt is in Washington with explosives on him, after Danko set him up for Matt to look like a terrorist. Nathan arrives there in a gist (much to Danko's surprise) and helps Matt with this situation. Matt is then transferred to Building 26. Meanwhile, Danko's suspicions about Nathan grow stronger when he looks at different video (one with Tracy shouting to Nathan that he is one of them, another of a flying man saving Peter when he fell off the building in Exposed). So, he interrogates Tracy with no hope. Then Noah gives him a tip that Angela might be more involved that he thinks. Visiting Angela, Danko arrives at a dead end once again. The arguments between Nathan and Danko reach a climax with Nathan having an order for Danko to be removed from the operation. Danko thinking there is more to Nathan that he shows pushes Nathan off a window and at that moment Nathan's ability kicks in with Danko witnessing that Nathan is in fact "one of them". Finally, Hiro and Ando arrive at the address that was given to them by Rebel (in chapter 3: building 26) on where to go and save Matt Parkman. To their surprise they find that Matt Parkman is not an adult but rather a baby with the same name (possibly connected to our Matt Parkman).
A really good episode overall. The pieces keep coming together with Sylar finally becoming a part of the fugitives arc. Nathan is now a fugitive as well and with his daughter Claire as well. Danko is in charge of the whole operation with Noah under his orders. Key facts: The lady that attacks Doyle is non other than Rachel Mills from the webisodes: The Recruit. Enjoy!

LeadSled - Monday, December 12, 2011 - linkEVGA has not brought out the SR-3 yet because that fastest Xeon E7 is only 2.4 Ghz with a price tag of $4227 and that is a single socket CPU . the E7 4800 MP 2-4 sockets I could not find a price on those MP and the 8800 series ( I guess if you have to ask you should not be looking at them) as many sockets as the can put on a motherboard which its self is in the $10,000 range. So after reading the E7 Xeon range you would be looking at a $10,000+ Xeon 7E MP socket computer. I myself am waiting for the Octa (8 core ) desktop X79 EVGA Classified which should overclock as well as the 6 core since they are 8 core CPU's with 2 cores disabled now. I cannot wait to see how they work on Windows HPC Server. I doent think games will work very well but I bet Folding @Home will gave the VideoCard folding a run for their money. EVGA can usually perform mericales so maybe they will be able to make a mobo run a pair of desktop CPU's but I guess only time will tell. Reply

Cpl Paul Joszko's partner Kayleigh, 18, from Abercynon, Rhondda Cynon Taf, had baby Iestyn Jay six months after his father was killed in Basra.
The couple's second son was born on 30 November in the Royal Glamorgan Hospital at Llantrisant.
The soldier's sister Maria said it was a "very,very emotional day".
Cpl Joszko was killed with two other soldiers from 2nd Battalion the Royal Welsh (The Royal Regiment of Wales) in June after stepping from an armoured vehicle.
He and his partner already had a son Dylan, who was one in August, and she was three months pregnant with their second son, who weighed 9lb 12oz.
Cpl Joszko had been due to go home on leave to celebrate Dylan's birthday and was "delighted" that Kayleigh was expecting again.
The couple had been together for two years.
His sister Maria Joszko, 31, said: "Kayleigh was the love of his life. He would have been so proud.
"Everyone is doing well. This is both the happiest time and saddest time for us."
'Special moment'
She added: "It's as if it was meant to be - and that he was a boy. He was due four days earlier but he held on."
Both Kayleigh and Dylan have been living with the soldier's parents Linda and David in Mountain Ash since the death.
Maria, who was with her mother Linda and Kayleigh throughout the birth, said she had cut the baby's cord, and said "that was a special moment for me".
"They had chosen the name Iestyn together for a boy. I know Paul always loved Welsh names.
"He would be so proud and absolutely adore the baby, as he did his oldest son Dylan," she said.
"Iestyn looks like Dylan - he looks like Paul anyway"
Privates Jamie Kerr and Scott Kennedy, from The Black Watch, 3rd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland who died alongside him, will also be remembered.

Christchurch, New Zealand (AFP) March 1, 2011
Grieving New Zealanders wept and hugged Tuesday, as the nation fell silent to mark the moment last week when an earthquake tore apart Christchurch and claimed hundreds of lives.
At 12:51 pm (2351 GMT Monday), exactly a week after the 6.3-magnitude quake hit New Zealand's second largest city, silence descended across the country for two minutes and flags flew at half mast.
In Christchurch, exhausted emergency crews from around the world briefly set aside the grim task of combing through the wreckage and bowed their heads in respect.
Prime Minister John Key, who grew up in Christchurch, led the tribute in front of a partially collapsed church, within view of the city's devastated cathedral, where up to 22 people are believed to be buried in the rubble.
At his feet feet lay a collection of stones from some of the city's worst-hit sites, crossed with ferns, New Zealand's national emblem and also a Maori symbol of hope and new life.
"It's very sad, this is an earthquake that's claimed the lives of literally hundreds of people and that's hard to put into words," Key told AFP after the two minutes' silence, which was broken only by the sound of weeping.
"This is a very dark moment for us but it's a moment that we will rebuild from."
But with Christchurch facing a reconstruction bill estimated at up to NZ$16 billion ($12 billion), Finance Minister Bill English warned New Zealand's already struggling economy now faced "close to zero growth".
"It's a different outlook from what we expected six months ago but we'll just have to roll with the punches," he told public radio, admitting "I simply don't know" if the country could avoid dipping into recession.
A 4.0-magnitude aftershock shook the area on Tuesday evening, the US Geological Survey said, with its epicentre 26 kilometres (16 miles) southeast of Christchurch at a depth of 10 kilometres.
The official death toll from the disaster stands at 155 but police on Tuesday said it was likely to climb above 240, up from a previous estimate of more than 200.
"We need to start considering the figure of around 240 but (it's) not locked in stone, because we're still getting information in," district commander Dave Cliff said.
Crowds gathered at countless church services around New Zealand, remembering the violent shake that brought down entire office blocks and tore up roads as it reduced much of central Christchurch to smouldering ruins.
At Wellington Cathedral in the capital, the numbers spilled over onto the building's steps, with many weeping openly.
The parliament of Australia, which rushed to aid Christchurch in the quake's aftermath and on Tuesday confirmed its second death in the disaster, also observed the silent tribute.
Key has promised a major inquiry, saying there were legitimate questions about why office blocks tumbled to the ground in a city with supposedly "quake-proof" building standards, six months after another big tremor.
One of the collapsed buildings housed an English-language school attended mainly by Asian students, scores of whom are missing presumed dead. Key said relatives deserved an explanation about why their loved ones perished.
"Obviously the earthquake was something that's beyond our control (but) we are going to get answers for those families about what's gone wrong," he said.
The rescuers who have scoured the ruins with sniffer dogs and sensitive listening devices around the clock for seven days have admitted there is next to no hope of finding more survivors.
For those toiling in the rubble, Tuesday's emotion-charged tribute was the first opportunity to reflect on the enormity of the tragedy they had witnessed, Cliff said.
"It was a very special time," he told reporters.
Christchurch is also experiencing violent aftershocks, with one measuring 4.3 hitting on Tuesday, creating treacherous conditions for the emergency crews and further jarring the stretched nerves of locals.
The tremors have opened cracks in a cliff overlooking suburban streets and threaten to cause landslips, forcing more residents to flee their homes after New Zealand's worst natural disaster in 80 years.

Dometic R3105194 Replacement Vinyl Fabric Only For Deluxe Plus Window Awning with Vinyl Weathershield
If you are unable to get the model number you can measure from the center of the right arm to the center of the left arm, DO NOT take the measurements of the old fabric or roller tube.
Please Note:
Per the manufacturer these Awning Replacement Fabrics are folded and boxed. Each awning replacement fabric has a shelf life of 10 days starting from the day they are boxed. If the 10 day shelf life has expired it may cause wrinkling and creasing to your fabric, so please plan accordingly.
"Fabric length" is based off of the length of the whole awning (i.e. 85074XX.072) which will determine the "size" of the fabric needed. The actual fabric will almost always be a smaller measurement than the awning length.

The news that Grimm was set to plead guilty sent shockwaves through the leadership of the Republican Party on Staten Island.
Grimm had become involved with a mysterious, mostly Israel-based Kabbalist rabbi to the stars named Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto.
Grimm is also not the first congressman from Staten Island to face legal issues.
Grimm worked as a recruiter at the Detroit Free Press for eighteen years, a position that required him to perform exit interviews.
Tax evasion carries a maximum penalty of five years, and thus it seems likely that Grimm would be covered by the provision.
The following points in the history of the demonstrative and relative pronouns are taken from Grimm's Deutsche Grammatik, vol.
Why, this business has been in the Grimm family for over a hundred years.
He caught himself wondering, sometimes, at the perfection of the deliberate indifference with which Mr. Grimm masked his emotions.
Grimm, too, wondered a little at the warmth of the girl's smile.
And that little winged monster over there, he used to whisper in my ears more thrilling tales than either Grimm or Andersen.

Web hosting automation can be described as the process of automating server management tasks. With the popularity of shared hosting, cut throat competition in the hosting industry and bargain basement prices, automation is not just a convenience, but a necessity to stay competitive in the market.
Need for Automation
With hosting companies having thousands of clients managing their web sites on hosting company servers, it is prohibitively expensive, if not impossible, to manually execute every customer's requests for server administration tasks. This is where web hosting automation comes in.
Web hosting automation is realized by having specialized applications, usually known as control panel software, that can automate routine server management tasks. Each web site hosted on a server gets a unique username and password to access the control panel and execute the required server administration task, without the need for intervention of the hosting company staff.
How Automation Software Works
Hosting automation software is used to automate the routine server administration tasks such as email, databases, software installation and access control, among other functions. Hosting companies can either choose to create their own hosting automation software or they can use popular out-of box solutions like CPanel and Plesk.
The way automation software usually works is that every domain / domain owner is given a unique access-id in order to access the user interface for the control panel. Once they log in to the interface, icons or links appear, which they can click on to accomplish various server administration tasks, depending upon the access permissions and available resources.
Not only does hosting automation software allow customers to accomplish server administration tasks using a web interface, but it also allows for tracking the space, bandwidth and other resource usage; management of files on the server, installing common scripts with a single click, and server log access.
The software provides an abstraction layer between the end-user and the technicalities of performing server administration tasks. Because of this, hosting automation not only allows for saving time and money for the hosting company by taking some of the work-load off of staff, but also allows non-technical customers to manage the server administration tasks themselves.
Custom vs. Out-of-Box Software
Hosting companies have a choice between using custom hosting automation software or an out of the box software solution. A lot of large hosting companies have chosen the custom software route because of issues related to proprietary hardware infrastructure usage.
However, developing custom hosting automation software is not just an expensive and time consuming preposition, but it also involves a learning curve for customers. For most hosting companies using generic hardware and software solutions, it makes much more sense to choose an out of the box control panel software for customer convenience.
Choosing generic hosting automation software will not only eliminate the software development costs, but also reduces the amount of customer support the company may have to provide, since a lot of customers are familiar with popular out-of-box automation software like Plesk. In addition, most software manufacturers allow companies to co-brand the control panels.
Popular Out of Box Hosting Automation Software
There are quite a few popular hosting automation solutions available on the market today. One of the more popular applications is Parallels Plesk:
Parallels Plesk, originally known as just Plesk, includes full support for Linux, Windows and BSD operating systems. Plesk was acquired by SWsoft in July 2003 and has been rebranded as Parallels Plesk Control Panel since January 2008.
The software allows the administrator to create new sites, email accounts and mange DNS zone-files using a web-based interface. Parallels Plesk also allows management of MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, Tomcat Java Server and ColdFusion server among other software. Below are some of the more advantageous features of Plesk:
Ease of Use: Parallels Plesk Panel has a redesigned cleaner and easier to navigate interface. More commonly used tasks will be available immediately and all menu options have been streamlined which allows for more efficient task handling.
Customizable: Parallels Plesk Panel comes with many additional skins and gives users the ability to design custom skins and manage them in the browser-based interface. The custom desktop feature may be used to design and brand panels to particular specifications.
Fully Automated: With 100+ new enhancements, the control panel delivers a new ease of management through features like the key auto-update mechanism, auto-component updater, migration manager and a web-based installation for quick deployment and dedicated need for support.
Web hosting automation software allows hosting companies to reduce overhead costs and be competitive in pricing by automating routine tasks of server administration and allowing even technically challenged customers to be able to accomplish these server management tasks without knowing the technical details.
Parallels is a worldwide leader in virtualization and automation software that optimizes computing for consumers, businesses, and service providers across all major hardware, operating systems, and virtualization platforms. Founded in 1999, Parallels is a fast-growing company with 800 employees in North America, Europe, and Asia.
