If you've ever built a website or created any type of print media, then you've probably had a need for using stock photos. Then again, maybe you consider yourself a shutterbug and would like to sell some of your images. Either way, you'll need a clear definition of a stock photo.
A stock photo is any image that's available for use either on a website or in print media. If you need an image of a group of nurses on your website, for example, there's no need to gather these people together and take a photo when there are already thousands of similar photographs for you to use. Likewise, if you would like to sell photos you have taken yourself, there are methods for that as well. Either way, a stock photo agency is the answer.
What is a stock photo agency?
A stock photo agency is a company that gathers and resells photos on behalf of photographers. The compensation in this field is usually commission-based, meaning that every licensed image that is sold would earn the creator a percentage. Most stock photo agencies charge to use their images , although there are some free ones available around the net as well. They also handle the business-end of licensing out the photographs so the creators can focus on their actual art.
Can you sell your images to a stock photo agency?
Stock photo agencies in general do not take pictures submitted by amateurs; even when the quality is outstanding. If you're just not the type to take no for an answer, however, then the way for a beginner to go is through what is known as a microstock, which is simply a stock photo portfolio.
The chances of you ever having just one or two photos ever accepted by a stock photo agency are zero, but by building a portfolio, the chances of breaking into the stock photo business are greatly increased. With a microstock portfolio, you will license out an entire portfolio of images, not just one at a time. This allows the stock photo agent to make higher returns on each license and it helps new photographers to get their foot in the door.
Once artists become more prominent within the industry and their photos are in-demand, they can easily make a small fortune. Of course, some artists create their own stock agency on a website. There is quite a lot of work involved in creation and marketing aspects, but successful stock agency sites stand to make very good money since some images can sell for as much as $175 each. Beware: this is certainly not as easy as it sounds.
Where can I get stock photos?
There are literally millions of different stock photos out there,meaning that there is plenty of variety for almost any image idea. Finding specific types of photographs is not a massive deal either; below are just a few that are known in the biz as being the biggest and the best around-
1. iStockPhoto
iStockPhoto is clearly one of the biggest stock photo sites in the business and they offer everything from particular collections to searchable images to fit your needs. There are a plethora of search options available (by price, Dpi, size, etc) through millions of available images. At iStockPhoto, users purchase credits and then use them to get licenses for different products.
2. GettyImages
GettyImages is another household name within the stock photo world and clearly one of the most popular overall online destinations for any type of photography needs. Their database is well organized and easily searchable, using a purchase system similar to the one found on iStockPhoto.
3. ShutterStock
Although they have not been around nearly as long as the other two stock photo sites, ShutterStock managed to accumulate a very large database of photographs for just about every occasion. With great usability, fair prices, and several innovative display options, this company is easily the 3rd best choice overall for any type of advertising needs.
DPI in Stock Photography
DPI stands for Dot per Inch and on the internet, most images are 72 DPI. Other forms of media (like postcards, magazines, or a tri-fold brochure) have a minimum 300 DPI. While the difference may appear to be little more than a numerical value, it actually defines how large images can be enhanced in larger campaigns. Now, images on the Internet will look just fine in either format because they are being displayed digitally, but once the photograph hits a sheet of paper the difference really shows.
Do I always have to pay for stock images?
Not necessarily, but in this case free is not always better. There are several free image sites around the net and most of them offer a basic selection of 72 DPI photos. For common images that do not necessarily have to be original, this is a great option to save a little bit of cash.

Well, to get a better understanding of how much the manifold-back section of the exhaust is doing, you could always do a dyno run with just the exhaust manifold. I'm not positive on this, but I've always felt like everything after the exhaust manifold did little in terms of performance, and that being the reason why most formula and le mans prototype exhaust manifolds look the way they do.
For some reason I think that the biggest limitation is the software, which from my understanding is just a basic Jim Conforti Shark Injector tune?

didnt you increase the throttle body as well, or did you dyno with the other exhaust sorry i missed it
The bend radius of the 3" tubing is much larger than the bend radius of the 2" tubing, and needs to turn a little more to compensate.

American Refining Group taking 1/3 stake in Amyris/Cosan Novvi JV; accelerating commercialization of renewable base oil and lubricants
July 19, 2016
American Refining Group (ARG) is taking a 33.3% stake in Novvi LLC, a joint venture of Amyris and Brazil-based Cosan S.A. formed in 2011 to produce renewable base oils and lubricants from Amyris' Biofene—Amyris's brand of a renewable, long-chain, branched hydrocarbon molecule called farnesene (trans-ß-farnesene). (Earlier post.) Both Amyris and Cosan will continue to hold share ownership stakes in Novvi, together with ARG.
Biofene is the basis for a wide range of products varying from specialty products such as cosmetics, perfumes, detergents and industrial lubricants, to transportation fuels such as diesel and jet fuel.
BASF 2016 science competition seeks synthetic lubricant solutions for future high-efficiency vehicles
March 31, 2016
BASF has kicked off its second annual North American Science Competition. This year's competition focuses on chemistries that can be used to develop a synthetic fluid to meet the needs of future high-performance, high-efficiency engines and transmissions.
With more advanced machinery, lubricating and functional fluids represent a steadily growing industry projected to reach $11 billion by 2020. Synthetic fluids, which are more expensive than petroleum-derived materials, address increasing market demands for higher quality and purity, increased performance and more stringent environmental standards. By developing high performing synthetic fluids with better thermal stability, BASF aims to extend the life cycle of these materials, reduce waste and support the development of more fuel-efficient vehicles.
Northwestern researchers discover crumpled graphene balls are a promising lubricant additive
January 26, 2016
Researchers at Northwestern University's McCormick School of Engineering have found that crumpled graphene balls are an extremely promising lubricant additive. In a series of tests, a polyalphaolefin base oil with only 0.01–0.1 wt % of crumpled graphene balls outperformed a fully formulated commercial lubricant in terms of friction and wear reduction. A paper on their work is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
For the average car, 15% of the fuel consumption is spent overcoming friction in the engine and transmission. While oil helps reduce this friction, researchers have long sought additives that enhance oil's performance. Ultrafine particles are often used as lubricant additives because they are capable of reducing friction and protecting surfaces from wear. They also tend to be more stable than molecular additives under high thermal and mechanical stresses during rubbing. However, they also can aggregate, reducing the effective concentration.

Wanna live together?
Brent D. Ryan writes about the trend toward cohousing and increasingly heterogenous urban clusters in the article "The Once and Future Neighborhood" in ArchitectureBoston's spring edition. http://www.architectureboston.com/ (The site is now displaying the summer edition, in which there's a fascinating article headlined "Radical Urbanism: The Case for Mom and Pop.")
An assistant professor of urban planning at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Ryan discusses the concept of neighborhood and the different things it means to people.
"One person's neighborhood may or may not be another's, depending on lifestyle, abilities, age, income level or interests. Yet... everyone recognizes a small, friendly park surrounded by houses as a neighborhood space and a corner store is a neighborhood place..."
To know the boundaries, you only have to ask the residents... and you will get a different definition from each. The one certainty is that people "feel a fierce attachment to their local piece of the urban fabric," he writes.
Those of us who are sewn into urban neighborhoods know about that ferocity. We know it can breed fatal turf wars and happy stoop parties.
The New Urbanist trend of people returning to the city for close to a decade has brought mixed-use design to almost every new development, which means a mix of retail, entertainment and housing and a mix of low, middle and high-income housing. The maturing of such heterogeniety ultimately will eclipse blight, gun-slinging and gentrification.
Recognizing that we are dependent on each other, especially as America swerves toward less conspicuous consumption and thrift, the subtrend of co-housing is a return to how people used to live. Back in the day, new immigrants lived above the store they operated and took in even newer immigrants to help them learn English and get on their feet. The newcomers usually moved to quarters nearby and the families would continue to support each other.
The movement of creative types into lofts in urban cores suggests that people recognize their need to be near their work, services and support -- social, emotional and tangible. Lifestyle centers such as Southside Works suggest this, too.
Co-housing is the next step - where people sorta kinda live together. Social and kitchen space might be shared, bringing people closer together to share child care, rides to the store, skills, tools and other support.
He writes that this model:
"represents a tiny minority of residential construction, yet also offers perhaps the clearest sign that renewing the concept of the neighborhood has less to do with its stylistic or locational characteristics than a reimagined understanding of the interaction between society and space."
Cohousing is a model to promote economic stability for underemployed families that has been tried most successfully as "entrepreneurial housing" in San Diego and Oakland, Cal., he writes.

A Series Banknotes
Currency Commission Ireland and Central Bank of Ireland
Legal Tender Notes 19281977: Fourteen Types
Fourteen Types, by signature and design
Lady Lavery Notes
The Currency Act, 1927 provided for the establishment of the Currency Commission Ireland and empowered it to issue, control and manage a new Irish currency, the Saorstat Pound, later termed the A Series Legal Tender Notes. Six of the nine Joint Stock commercial banks operating on the island of Ireland had the right to issue notes. The new note issue was to replace the notes of these commercial banks in circulation.
For stability, the currency was linked to and exchangeable at par with the British Pound Sterling. The Irish Pound was divided into 20 shillings, and issued in seven denominations, 10 Shillings, £1, £5, £10, £20, £50, and £100.
The design of the A Series Legal Tender Notes were intended to have a strongly Celtic flavour, and to avoid any political symbolism. The Currency Commission had specified that an archetypal Irish Cailin (Girl) should form the central theme of the design of the notes. She was, as Kathleen Ni Houlihan, to symbolise the Irish State, a type of symbol often used in the past. The banknotes were designed by Mr. John Harrison, the Chief Portrait Engraver of Waterlow and Sons Ltd, London, who were to print the notes.
A few years before this, Harrison had engraved a series of bookplates for Sir John Lavery, RA. One of these was a portrait by Lavery of his wife, Hazel, Lady Lavery. Harrison adapted this portrait for use on the banknotes. Lady Lavery is depicted in Irish national costume resting her arm on a Cláirseach (Irish Harp). Behind her in the background are lakes and mountains, typical of Ireland. The full portrait is used on the £10, £20, £50, and £100 denominations, with a head and shoulders cut-off on the lower denominations.
Thus, the notes are colloquially referred to as the Lady Lavery series.
Above is the Portrait of Lady Lavery as Kathleen Ni Houlihan, 1928, by Sir John Lavery (1856-1941), Oil on canvas 75.5 x 62.5 cm. The painting is on loan from the Central Bank of Ireland to the National Gallery in Dublin, and is on public display there.
The A Series note design circulated from 1928 to 1982, with the £100 note remaining in use until it was replaced by a new design C Series note in 1995.
There are several major design variations in the Lady Lavery Series

To compare weight loss diets, researchers randomly selected 419 overweight, 35- to 75-year-old adults with diabetes to follow a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet or a low-fat, high-protein diet. Study participants attended twice weekly, dietitian-led classes for the first six months and monthly sessions for another six months, to help them stick with their assigned diet. After two years, 70% of the participants had completed the study.
Both the high protein and high carbohydrate diet groups had
Lead study author Jeremy Krebs, MD, points to two key messages from this study. "The first is that no matter what diet we prescribe, people find it extremely difficult to sustain the changes from their habitual diet over a long time. But if they are able to follow either a high-protein diet or a high-carbohydrate diet, they can achieve modest weight loss," Dr. Krebs stated.
This study brings home an eternal truth: Losing weight can be a challenge! But don't lose sight of the fact that blood sugar control improved in all study participants, regardless of the diet followed. For anyone with diabetes or insulin resistance (a condition that can precede type 2 diabetes), this is great news. Our get-healthy tips will help you make smarter eating choices beginning today.

Another Democratic candidate is keeping her distance from President Obama.
Heidi Heitkamp, a former North Dakota attorney general now seeking the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Kent Conrad, tells the Associated Press that Obama has "failed in the one test America had for him, which was to unite the country."
"I think he needed to be more hands-on," Heitkamp said. "I don't think he's done enough to think broadly and come up with solutions that would engage both sides in a reasonable dialogue."
We've seen similar distancing from Obama in such states as Arkansas and West Virginia.
And it make sense politically. Obama isn't expected to do well in North Dakota, Arkansas and West Virginia, but local Democrats could still win races in those states.
Heitkamp's criticism in particular could help Obama in the long run.
Many observers didn't think Democrats had much of a chance to hold Conrad's seat, but Heitkamp -- who has ties to the state's powerful energy industry -- is doing well in early polls.
If she wins, the Democrats will almost certainty maintain their majority in the Senate.
Reports the Associated Press:
Heitkamp, 56, touts her success as attorney general in fighting new regulations on coal and her work for a natural gas and coal production company since leaving office. She keeps a healthy distance from her party's standard-bearer, criticizing President Barack Obama over the Keystone XL oil pipeline and complaining that he "hasn't done enough" to support the energy industry.
Republicans maintain that Heitkamp will still prove too liberal a candidate to keep Conrad's seat for Democrats. But they acknowledge it's a tighter race than they expected.
The GOP's candidate is Rep. Rick Berg, a successful real estate developer and longtime state legislator elected to the House just two years ago with strong tea party support.
North Dakota is an improbable battleground as both parties vie for control of the Senate. Republicans need to net four seats to take control, but strategists in both parties see few paths to a GOP majority that don't include North Dakota.

Among the mistakes professionals make when attempting to burnish their personal brands is building a wall between their personal and professional personas. At first blush, it makes sense. But the instant a recruiter or hiring manager picks up on the fact that you have two accounts on a social media site, they may assume that what's in your personal account might not reflect so well on you as a candidate. An article at personalbrandingblog.com advises business professionals to avoid the two-account strategy in favor of one that will showcase their expertise, business acumen, and networking ability, as well as the fun things that they do during their off hours. The key, says the article: "Find a balance." Read more.

English bulldog
breed of dog developed centuries ago in Great Britain for use in fighting bulls (bullbaiting). Characteristically powerful and courageous, often vicious, and to a great extent unaware of pain, the bulldog nearly disappeared when dogfighting was outlawed in 1835. Fanciers of the breed, however, saved it and bred out its ferocity. Nicknamed the "sourmug," the bulldog is a stocky dog that moves with a rolling gait. It has a large head, folded ears, a short muzzle, a protruding lower jaw, and loose skin that forms wrinkles on the head and face. Its short, fine coat is tan, white, reddish brown, brindle, or piebald. The bulldog stands 13 to 15 inches (33 to 38 cm) and weighs 40 to 50 pounds (18 to 23 kg). Typically gentle and reliable, it is placed in the Non-Sporting Dog group of the American Kennel Club.

Wayne Static Discusses the Return of Static-X
By Natalie Perez
After steamrolling through the world of industrial metal for 15 years, Static-X took some much-needed time off from 2009 to 2011. The timing was perfect; after touring nonstop and surviving a few lineup changes, a hiatus seemed the right thing to do.
During that time, frontman Wayne Static flew solo, releasing Pighammer in October 2011. "It was something I wanted to do for a long time," he said. "It's been rewarding to do it by myself, not having to comprise or anything. I just worked with an engineer in the studio and spent a lot of time making it.
But this year, Static has put the emphasis squarely back on Static-X, who have reformed with three new members: Ashes, Brent Ashley and Sean Davidson.
"I just want to get back into doing Static-X again," Static says. "We just want to go back on tour and have a good time."
Check out my interview with Static below; we discuss the band's return, touring plans and how good it feels for the band to be back in business.
REVOLVER: Can you give us a quick intro to and history of Static-X?
I'm not sure; I think everyone has at least heard of me at this point. But if you never listen to heavy music at all, in which case you probably wouldn't be interested ... In any case, we started off in the '90s and came out with our first record in '99. We sold millions of records, toured the world, all of that stuff. So if you like heavy music at all, I'm sure you've heard of Static-X.
How did the band get its name?
It's kind of funny; I'm a Star Trek geek, so I thought Static Warp Field was cool. I shortened it to Static, then added the X to have it sound experimental. It's what we were doing in the '90s when creating a new sound we call "evil disco."
Static-X are back, of course, but how was the solo-artist experience?
My solo record turned out awesome. Everyone loved it. It was something I wanted to do for a long time. It's been rewarding for me to do it all by myself, not having to comprise or anything. I just worked with an engineer in the studio and spent a lot of time making it. The fans loved it. Now I'm focusing on Static-X again on the current tour.
The band took some time off starting in 2009. Why did you decide now's the time to reform Static-X?
It seemed like the right thing to do. I wanted to get out before the summer was over and tour. We got some big show offers and it seemed like the right time to get everyone back together, and building a tour around it made sense.
You're going on tour toward the end of this summer alongside Prong, who you've called a huge influence. How does it feel to tour alongside an act that has inspired you to do what you do?
It's really cool. they're going to be joining us in another week due to not being able to be with us at the start of it. But it's rad. Tommy is a great guitar player, and it'll be cool to have him out with us.
What else inspires you do to what you do?
I just can't help but do it. I've always been that way, and if you ask that question to anyone else you'd get the same answer. The music just inspires you, and everything else as well -- all day -- being able to write songs just gives me ideas to make music, and I love doing it.
Will we be hearing new music from your solo career or Static-X?
I'm always writing so I've had a few months off from the last tour so I always have ideas for new music. I'm guessing maybe next year something will surface just unsure on whether it will be Static-X or my solo project. But expect to hear some new stuff soon.
What advice would you give to bands who want to do what you do?
Don't quit your day job. But it's a real different world now than when I started in the '90s with the industry -- heavy bands getting signed to major labels, making money. But now it's getting harder and harder, and music is underground again. So if you're going to do it, make sure you do it for the right reasons and have a good time because the chances to make it are getting less and less because of the Internet having changed how everything works.
What can we expect from your set list on this tour?
I always try to cover everything. With this tour, we're playing stuff off the first two records, Wisconsin Death Trip and Machine. Six songs off each. But I always try to include a little bit of everything.
What else can we expect from Static-X this year?
We're working on more U.S. dates. This current leg ends September 2, so we'll be heading back out in every other town, staying out until October after a little break. Then we'll take another break for the end of the year and pick up again in the new year. So right now it's all about touring.
How long does it take for you to get your hair to look like that?
It takes zero time. It's only a weekly thing, and it ends up staying like that.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
No, that's about it. Just come on out to a show and have a good time!
Keep up with Static-X at their Facebook page.

From Conservative Tree House
In response to a Florida Sunshine Law request to the City of Sanford, Judicial Watch also obtained an audio recording of a "community meeting" held at Second Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Sanford on April 19, 2012. The meeting, which opens with a gospel hymn and organ music, is reported to have led to the official ouster of Sanford's Police Chief Bill Lee. A week earlier, a group calling themselves the "Dream Defenders" had barricaded the entrance to the police department demanding he be fired for failing to file murder charges against Zimmerman. The church meeting produced a nine-point plan, the main demand being the firing of Chief Lee. (link)

Green & Black's - Dark 70%
I was browsing the grocery shelves and noticed Green & Black chocolate bars hidden in a back aisle. Remembering seeeing a recommendation for Green & Black chocolate on ThisNext, I picked up a couple flavors. I didn't find the Maya Gold variety particularly exciting, but my wife agrees with me that the Dark 70% flavor is some of the best chocolate we've tried, and she likes that it's organic.
Deep, dark, rich chocolate... this is the good stuff!Tags: food, gourmet, green, candy, organic, chocolate, dark chocolate, Green and Blacks, airAdded 10 Years Ago from Greenandblacks

Let's start off by saying that Samuel "Joe The Plumber" Wurzelbacher has absolutely no chance of being elected to Congress. He's running in the redrawn Ohio 9th District against 11 term Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur in a district that is, if anything, even more heavily Democratic than when she ran for the seat in 2010. That doesn't mean he isn't campaigning, though, as his latest television ad demonstrates:
According to Joe the Plumber, gun control is to blame for the Holocaust," the New York Daily News writes. "Ohio Congressional hopeful Samuel Wurzelbacher's latest campaign ad features a short narrative over footage of him shooting fruit and vegetables off a fence, while explaining how Germany's 1939 gun control laws paved the way for Germany's worst atrocities. Wurzelbacher starts the ad off innocently enough, loading a shotgun while saying 'In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were exterminated.' Locked and loaded, Senator John McCain's former BFF turned his focus to Germany, while also focusing on some unlucky tomatoes and apples: 'In 1939, Germany established gun control,' Wurzelbacher says while unloading shot after shot, 'from 1939 to 1945, six million Jews and seven million others, unable to defend themselves, were exterminated.'

Protest Corporate Corruption on March 3
On March 3, 2012 at 12:00pm, we will gather at the Occupy camp across from the capitol building at Civic Center Park. We will then rally in solidarity with the indigenous and poor peoples of Peru and the Americas against Newmont Mining and corporate greed. A march will proceed down the 16th Street Mall to the statue of Christopher Columbus.
The country of Peru will have massive protests in Lima by the indigenous, workers, peasants, and poor people against exploitation by corporations. The rallies in Peru are focused on Newmont Mining's exploitation of the Peruvian people and destruction of the environment. Newmont Mining Company is the largest gold mining corporation in the world. Its international headquarters is here in Denver. Wherever its operations reach, Newmont poisons the land, the water and the people. Native peoples have been especially hard hit – in Peru, Ghana, Indonesia, and among the Western Shoshone Nation in Nevada.

Shares of Internet media software and services veteran RealNetworks (NASDAQ: RNWK) dropped more than 6 percent Tuesday following the unexpected resignation Monday of chief executive Bob Kimball. (Also see: Motorola Mobility buys cloud-based media streaming start-up) It was the latest upper-management change for RealNetworks as the company struggles to compete with much larger players in the digital entertainment world. By early afternoon Tuesday, RealNetworks shares were down 25 cents, or 6.4 percent, to 3.69 from Monday's close of 3.94. Kimball, a longtime corporate attorney for IBM and RealNetworks, became CEO when company founder Rob Glaser, who is still chairman, resigned in January 2010. Despite a 29 percent drop in revenue last year -- in part because the company sold off a majority stake in music service Rhapsody -- Kimball returned RealNetworks to profitability (barely) for the first time since fiscal 2007. Naturally, layoffs figure into the turnaround mix, with 85 jobs being cut last June, and another 130 RealNetworks employees -- about 10 percent of the workforce -- being let go just last month. For his part, Glaser says he's not tempted to return as chief executive. RealNetworks EVP Mike Lunsford will serve as interim CEO until Kimball's replacement is found. Lunsford says he doesn't want the permanent gig. So where does this leave RealNetworks? The company is something of an anomaly, a survivor from the first Internet era (Glaser, a Microsoft veteran, founded RealNetworks in 1995 as Progressive Networks) that never really grew, yet is still around. It's current market cap is about $500 million. (In comparison, Yahoo, another Internet company from that era, is worth $22 billion.) According to the Seattle Times, RealNetworks has "developed a new online media service that may compete with upcoming products from Google and Apple." Good luck with that. Mostly, though, RealNetworks is targeting phone companies and other business sectors as larger Internet players continue to dominate the consumer digital-media market. It's hard to escape the feeling that RealNetworks is entering its end game. Look for someone to buy the company by next summer.

As a result, many countries have started restructuring and reforming education towards educational effectiveness and school development at the start of the 1990s. Just as in the West, this educational reform has also swept over Malaysia, with virtually every aspect of schools and their supporting systems .

A muggy Friday evening didn't deter Brian Ackermann and his kids, Evelyn, 9, and Austin, 6, from putting up their tent for an overnight camp out at Dana Peak Park.
"A family that sweats together, stays together," Ackermann said, wiping his brow.
They were among about 20 families participating in the first Family Camp Out hosted by the Harker Heights Parks and Recreation Department. For $10 per person, the overnight event gave families a chance to "unplug," cook over a campfire, hike the trails and spend quality time together. Campers received a small backpack with a T-shirt and a water bottle. They enjoyed a homemade camp fire dessert and s'mores along with story time Friday evening, and breakfast tacos Saturday.
"Getting families outside and unplugged from electronics to encourage togetherness was the goal of the event," said Lori Briere, recreation superintendent.
The scenic view of the river and sloped hills provided the ideal setting for families to get reacquainted with nature or discover the outdoors for the first time. A small tent city quickly sprang up and it didn't take long for everyone to find their favorite activity — some fished on the shore and others played volleyball.
"It's a different kind of bonding outdoors because you're doing things you didn't think you could do, like learning how to light a campfire without a match," Briere said. Encouraged by the turnout, Briere and her staff plan to host another family camp-out in the fall.
Asia Dennis, 15, normally spends Friday night on Instagram, but she liked being outdoors because it reminded her of camping at her grandpa's place.
"We do a lot of outdoor activities but not camping, so we're looking forward to a good time," said Michael Dennis, her father, as he pounded in the last tent stake.
For people without a lot of camping experience or equipment, the parks and recreation staff had extra tents and supplies and several Eagle Scout volunteers were on site to help anyone make an overnight home.
"If you're new to camping, we wanted to take away the fear factor, so families could focus on having fun," said City Manager David Mitchell.
Cowboy cooking in the outdoors is second nature to Harker Heights Police Lt. Houston Johnson, who demonstrated his Dutch oven skills by making a simple, yet delicious peach cobbler.
"This is just another opportunity for citizens to develop a closer relationship with each other and with the city," Johnson said.
Ron Simmons and his son Jackson, 4, camp out often because they love to create memories of their time together.
"We'll take this experience with us forever, and one day he'll do this with his children," Simmons said.
For information on a future camp out, call 254-953-5657 or go to www.ci.harker-heights.tx.us/parks.

| Drug Approvals: Circumstances under which an active ingredient may be simultaneously marketed in both a prescription drug product and an over-the-counter drug product
|FDA Comment Number :
|Submitter :
|Mrs. Judith A. Croxton
|Date & Time:
|10/12/2005 06:10:20
|Organization :
|Mrs. Judith A. Croxton
|Category :
|Individual Consumer
|Issue Areas/Comments
| A. Should FDA initiate a rulemaking to codify its interpretation of section 503(b) of the action regarding when an active ingredient can be simultaneously marketed in both prescription drug product and an OTC drug product?
| This is a dangerous drug to begin with - and has killed women who have taken it. I am against it being prescribed at all and especially against selling it over the counter to anyone. This drug takes the life of a tiny human being in most cases. All contraceptive products do is increase promiscuity among our young people and put them at risk for at least one of the several sexual diseases out there now. You might just as well say their life is over once they have these diseases - and many of them will never be able to have any children at all;all because they were led to believe that becoming pregnant would be the worst thing that could ever happen to them ! As a mother of 13 children and the grandmother of 19 (at present), I feel it is inhumane and monstrous for the drug companies to put any ingredients on the market for killing human life - born or unborn - whether it is marketed by prescription or sold over the counter. I say the drug companies should get out of the "killing" business and stick to the "healing" business, don't you??
| A. If FDA limited sale of an OTC product to a particular subpopulation, e.g., by making the product available to the subpopulation by prescription only, would FDA be able to enforce such a limitation as a matter of law?
| Who is considered "sub-population" ????
|B. If the two products may be lawfully sold in a single package, under what circumstances would it be inappropriate to do so?
|These products, and all others like them, should be "out-lawed" !
|Not realizing this had so many sections in which to comment, please see my comments at the very beginning of this inquiry. Thank you.

I've got an issue with spacing in strings when I do explode(); I'm sure there is an easy fix for this
The user enters a string into a form like this:one, two, three, four, five, sixOR like thisone,two,three,four,five,sixsometimes they enter spaces after the commas, sometimes they don't. that is up to them, but it can screw up my explosion
That string is saved as $keywords. I would like to explode $keywords so I can break it apart.
If I do this:$exploded = explode(',', $keywords);then, that will a blank space in front of each keyword
If I do this:$exploded = explode(', ', $keywords); //with a space after the commathen, that wont work for people that don't put spaces between their keywords
Is there a better way to explode? or, if not, is there code that will take off the first character of a string if it is a blank white space?
You can use trim() after an "explosion" to eliminate the white space.
Untested Code:
$arrKeywords = explosion(",", $strKeywords)
foreach($arrKeywords as $index => $word)
$arrKeywords[$index] = trim($word);
www.php.net is an amazing source for php help.
awesome, that worked great. thanks phox!
Nothing wrong with Cilverphox's answer but you can do it in one line if you like:
$keywordsArray = array_map('trim', explode(',', $keywords));
A better solution I think would be the following
$keywords = "one, two , three , four";
$keyword_array=explode(",", trim($keywords));
//should just output
[0] => one
[1] => two
[2] => three
[3] => four
This would avoid using the array map and stripping the white space on each of the exploded elements.
No Trim required...
$s = preg_split( '/[, ]+/', $data, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY );
But that won't trim anything inside $keywords. It will only trim the left and the right of the full $keywords string.
You'll have to use the solution given by cilverphox or markl999 instead.

SARASOTA - According to a recent survey conducted by the University of South Florida, the majority of Sarasota County residents believe the economy is turning around. But despite their optimism, many are still concerned about jobs and personal finances. Meanwhile other issues are taking a back seat.
Most people simply don't have the time to check in on commission meetings, so the Florida Institute of Government at USF called some of them for a survey -- 801 Sarasota County citizens to be exact. "It's very important that citizens feel like their voices are heard," says Dr. Susan MacManus, who heads up the study.
It's the 21st year in a row the study has been done. You could probably guess the biggest concern for the 5th year in a row. "Jobs, jobs, jobs."
70% of those asked say their finances are a problem. Besides jobs, the top reasons are home insurance, health care costs, personal debt, and property taxes. "For a number of years it was population growth and congestion and all that. When the economic downturn hit of the course the emphasis has shifted to improving the economy and creating more jobs."
Locals are less concerned about traffic, population, growth and over development, crime and taxes. More than 90% of those questioned believe quality of life in the county is excellent or good. More than half, 56% believe the economy is on the road to recovery.
The survey indicates people's priorities in their local government are changing. That will certainly have an impact on on local politics and already has. Building height restrictions have been loosened, impact fees are reduced, put on hold, or cut altogether. The slow growth movement giving way to the need for employment. "People understand that that in times of economic stress that you can't do everything and that choices have to be made."
61% said they support county initiatives to create good paying jobs. Citizens had high marks for county services and staff, but only about 35% say they trust county leaders "almost always" or "most of the time."
That's still higher than state and federal leaders. 62% object to term limits being increased from 8 to 12 years. "If people don't feel like the quality of their life is as good as it should be in their own back yard they can certainly take that out on politicians at the voting booth."
MacManus says in her experience county officials take the data seriously. "You can show your constituents that you are really listening to them and that you are going to adhere to what they say should be done."
The telephone survey was done in May and June. The survey, research, and report cost tax payers nearly $59,500.

HWA Home Warranty Reviews | Home Warranty of America Reviews
Home Warranty of America AKA HWA Home Warranty is ranked in the 60% percentile as far as total complaints on the internet. HWA Home Warranty has over 400 complaints on the BBB and over 10 Ripoff Reports.
We acquired home insurance for our home appliances (two years old upper market brands), one day our microwave started to make a funny noise that we never heard before. We made our first report to call for an engineer, we explained the problem, after the appointment was rescheduled twice finally the engineer came completely unprepared, he didn't bring insurance of his company required by most NYC buildings. As a result building manager refused to let him do any work or even touch any appliance, without any documentation. We arranged for him at least check the microwave by just listening to the noise, which was very noticeable, he said in a very poor English, (he didn't speak English nor Spanish properly): "I need a new piece that will come in few weeks, but you have to pay me now" We asked "pay you for what?" "if you haven't done anything yet" and he said "it doesn't matter you have to pay just because I came" We called the supplier company and arranged to pay when he will back with the "piece" and actually repair what's needed. One day before the new visit (3rd) we received a call from Home Warranty saying that the Supplier informed that our Microwave didn't have any problem based on the technician "assessment" and that we have to pay the visit fee! We complained with every person that answered the phone and all of them said it doesn't matter that the appliance hasn't been repaired you have to pay. we will send you another technician but you will also will have to pay for the visit! at this stage we were so annoyed with the lack of professionalism of the suppliers and the poor customer service of Home Warranty, that we ended paying for nothing and cancelling our insurance losing money on the way and still having the appliance with a problem.
~ Francisco
I'd like to share about my experience with Home Warranty of America.
In case you're in a hurry, let me say simply they did not do what they promised. I wouldn't choose them again and I wouldn't recommend them.
If you have more time, let me explain that we had the sellers pay for a year of their service when we bought our home. It was a pretty good year- we had no claims, so we had no complaints. We felt pretty good about HWA so we figured we'd renew our policy.
About that time my dad, who lived with us, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. We had a terrible month and then he passed away in my house. During that time our policy ended. When I realized, I immediately called them and reinstated the policy for $650. There were TWO days we were not covered, but we were told that due to our circumstances, they would look at it like the two days hadn't happened.
As luck would have it, our double electric built-in ovens went out at the same time. The 15 year old units were original to the house.
I called to report the occurrence, and was promptly told that since it happened during our two days of lapsed coverage they wouldn't be able to do anything. I told them about dad, and they agreed to disregard the two days- it would be as if there was no lapse. I felt pretty good about them then. But things quickly deteriorated from there.
They took over 10 days to send someone- after one who canceled same day, when I had already requested off of work. When the repair guy finally came- Old Guys Appliance Repair in San Antonio, TX- he told us that very day that the ovens would not be able to be repaired since they don't make the part anymore.
After (once) daily calls, I finally got the home warranty company and the Old Guys to talk to each other. (They both ran me around each day before I got them both on two different phones and told them what the other was saying- so high school!!) After they confirmed what we've known for a week, the home warranty people told me the claim would go to 'options'. I was told options would either be replacement, or cash allowance. Good. No. Bad.
Options came back saying they would offer us a total of $100 cash for the price of the part that is no longer made. They said that since we were in our first 30 days of our contract they would not replace anything covered in our contract. I reminded them what I'd been told about waiving the lapse, about having a whole year under our belts with no claims at all, and they basically told us that even with our extenuating circumstances that they wouldn't pay more than $100.
Brandon and Jennifer both treated me like I'm dumb or something, repeating themselves a lot, trying to get me to believe what they were saying. I was incredulous and questioning how they came to that after promising something else. I had to tell them both to stop repeating themselves, to answer my questions. I was not yelling or being rude. I was calm. They had no reason to act that way. I feel sorry for them both. What a crappy job they have, and what a crappy company they work for!
This is literally causing us a hardship. You might already know how expensive a funeral is. You might understand how hard it is to bury your dad. You might know what it's like to be kicked when your down, to have insult added to injury.
Home Warranty of America wasted precious time (it's Mid-December, and I don't know anyone who doesn't use their oven during this time of year), lied to us about waiving two days of lapse even with painful extenuating circumstances, and were rude, cheap, and terrible to work with throughout this whole experience.
When we needed them most, they were not there for us. They do not give a crap about us or about you. They only want to find ways to get out of paying for claims. I guess that's the nature of insurance, the house always wins.
But again, if you're shopping for home warranty companies, steer clear of these guys. They'll do anything to get out of paying, and they'll be happy to have you wait a long time and then pay $75 to their preferred vendor before letting you know you're screwed.
Buyer beware: They'll say whatever they need to get you to sign on, then totally let you down when things get rough.
Consider yourself warned!
~ Jennifer
This company is a sham, as a Realtor, I pride myself on doing the best thing for my clients. I added HWA's coverage to one of my listing as a service to my seller. As luck would have it, the AC went on the fritz a few days ago, so my seller contact the Home Warranty of America's customer service. It was a few days and no contact so then the seller contacted them again, finally sent out an AC tech who determined the compressor needed replaced. The sent the service work order to HWA. Again no status from HWA, so my seller called again to get status, she was told a lot of things as an excuse for HWA not to honor the warranty. So now my seller is out of an AC and there is no response from the service representatives of this company. This is just BAD business and I will never recommend this company to any of my future customers, just a sham to get your money and then not honor their coverage.

HWA Home Warranty Ripoff Reports
Many of the HWA Home Warranty Rip-off Reports are about claims being denied and refunds not being refunded. Actually, 10 ripoff reports in the Home Warranty industry is sadly not that many in comparison but that said there are multiple companies that seem for one reason or another to maintain a tiny amount of complaints and very few ripoff reports so because of this, 10 is still to many to be in the top 10.

High school diploma is sufficient. Also, all the banks have their own training program. They will prepare you for the job perfectly.
And what does it all mean to you? If you think about it for a moment, you'll figure out that in these kind of jobs (no education required, training provided), personality of an applicant is extremely important. Therefore, you should always present yourself like a good teller, with all that belongs to it.
And what belongs to it? This is actually a good question. Maybe it will surprise you, but you need to have something inside of you to be able to get this job. A friendly personality, good communication skills and certain level of charisma are necessary for every good teller and the interviewers know it.
To improve your chances of getting a job, you should always come to the interview in a good mood, full of energy. What more, show them that you have an ability to listen to the needs of the customers (by listening closely to them), ability to concentrate (by being focused in the interview) and finally, that you like to be with, and talk to, people (by keeping eye contact, smiling, etc.).
Behaving in this way, you present yourself as someone with an ideal personality for a teller job, what is even more important than your answers to interview questions. Anyway, to improve your readiness, check out some of the typical bank teller interview questions right now.
Why do you think you are a right person for this job?
We started with a difficult one. However, after understanding the principles from the first part of this article, you should have no problems to find the answer to this question. Mentioning that you really like to communicate with people and solve their problems, and that customer satisfaction is your passion, is a good answer. To state that this job is highly motivating for you and keeps you satisfied and happy in life is also a good one. As a third alternative, you can mention that you strongly believe that with your communication skills and friendly approach to people, you can improve the level of customer satisfaction in a bank.
Why have you chosen our bank?
This question can be answered easily. Just mention that you like the working environment at the bank and the way the tellers approach clients. If you are a client of this bank yourself, do not forget to mention it. Lastly but not last, you can pinpoint several products or great services they offer
How would you convince the prospect to take a loan (or open an account, or something else)?
It can be either a question, or (and more commonly) a role play exercise! You represent the teller and the interviewer represents the client. The best way to handle this task is to uncover the needs of the client and then show him exactly, how the product can satisfy his needs. It's not easy, I know. But once you practice it with a friend few times, you should be ready for this task. P.S. Do not forget to keep eye contact and stay calm and smile all the time.
What are your salary expectations?
If this question comes, it is a positive sign. If they did not like your application at all, they would not ask you this type of question. Anyway, it is probably not a huge surprise for you, that the salaries for bank tellers are not the highest one. Therefore, do not forget to stress that the job itself, not the salary, is the primary motivation for you. To say that you are ready to go along the salary tables is probably the best option. Do not be afraid. Once you prove your abilities, there is always a room for promotion in bank…
Special tip at the end: If you apply for a job at Wells Fargo or at Bank of America, you should definitely have a look at Wells Fargo Interview Guide from Jacob Gates or Bank of America Interview Guide from the same author. Jacob is one of the core writers at InterviewPenguin.com team. He helped countless job seekers to get a job in one of these two banks. You can be another one… Good luck!

1. WD ltr AG 320.2 (7-25-40)M(Ret) M-OCS, 26 Jul 40, sub: GHQ. 320.2/3. The basic WD memo is OCS 21152-2 OCS-OW to TAG GHQ, 25 Jul 40, sub not given. AGO Records. Other background papers in AGO Classified Records, WPD 3209-10.
For the general defensive measures taken by the Army, see Biennial Report of the Chief of Staff of the U. S. Army, July, 1939, to June 30, 1941 to the Secretary of War, pp 1-2. (Cited hereafter as Biennial Report, CofS, 1941).

4. A brief history of the Second, Third, and Fourth Armies in the period preceding mobilization will be found in the History of the Army Ground Forces, Studies Nos 16, 17, and 18.
5. General MacArthur explained the purpose in view: "Heretofore the War Department has never been linked to fighting elements by that network of command and staff necessary to permit the unified tactical functioning of the American Army." Before World War I "the military force then existing was conceived of and administered as a collection of infantry, cavalry and artillery regiments." By establishing the "skiletonized Army Group on a satisfactory basis," and by decentralizing certain responsibilities to army commanders, General MacArthur believed that the War Department was providing "a suitable framework for the assimilation of the thousands of recruits who will, almost simultaneously with the declaration of war, volunteer for service with the colors." Without the constitution of such an authority, existing units would be swamped and immobilized with organizational and training detail. "The four Field Arm organization... constitutes a logical and definite basis for initial expansion." WD ltr OCofS to CGs four Fld Armies, 22 Oct 32, sub: Development of the Four Fld Armies. AGO Records, 320.2 (8-6-32) Sec 1A.
6. The replacement training centers were not set up until the spring of 1941, and their output was never sufficient for the purpose stated. From the beginning, many of the fillers went directly to tactical units and received in these their training in Mobilization Training Programs which were programs for basic training in the various arms and services. In the actual process of expansion the tactical unit became the school of the individual soldier.
7. The deliberations and report of this Board will be found in The National Defense: Historical Documents Relating to the Reorganization Plans of the War Department and to the Present National Defense Act Hearings before the Committee on Military Affairs, House of Representatives, 69th Congress, 2d Session, (1927), pp 568-648.

Today, I had to feed an elderly man in the care home in which I work while he was whacking off. Our work policy states that I have to pretend not to notice. FML
Today, my husband thought it would be acceptable to watch Breaking Bad on Netflix with my 4-year-old in the room. What happened to be the only line he picked up? "Well heil Hitler, bitch!" I found out from his preschool teacher. FML
Today, a coworker told me she may be in love with me. I admitted similar feelings and we agreed, since we're both happily married, not to spend time together anymore. Two hours later we were both promoted to run the same project, where we'll be "working hand in glove for the next couple of years." FML
Today, my teacher told the class that we had better like the people at our table because we would all be working together for the final group assessment. Everyone looked at me, stood up, and moved. FML

Comments about Arpita Sud
For My Inspiration
I wish you would celebrate our love with words of romance
And not always say that I look into your eyes and find
More than words sweet and humble gestures that loudly pronounce
Your need for me so deep that the world mocks calling you blind!
Memories of days when flowers where just a start
Hardly suffice to keep your promise with the longing night
Me in your thoughts throughout and all mine your racing heart
And you wouldn't let your happiness walk away from your sight!
If there were such times before, likely such times come again
Me wading in your romance,...

The Biofluid Mechanics Laboratory (PI: Gaver) at Tulane University studies the interrelationships between fluid mechanical and physicochemical phenomena and the associated biological behavior of physiological systems. The main thrust of this research involves investigations of the pulmonary system, with the goal of developing improved therapies for pulmonary disease ARDS and the prevention of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). In addition, we investigate the design of optimized microfluidiic devices for biosensor technology. These integrated studies bring together basic and applied scientists (including computational scientists), device developers and physicians to study problems of high clinical importance.
Cell Experiments
- Biological investigations in tissue engineered constructs to study ventilation-associated responses of sensitive pulmonary airway and alveolar epithelial cells.
Bench-top Experiments
- Experimental investigations using micro-fluidic analogs of pulmonary airways.
- High resolution visualization technology (micro-PIV) used for interrogating flow fields and elucidating transport phenomena.
Computational Simulations
- Computational studies that simulate fluid-structure interactions and transport interactions in order to quantify mechanical stress fields of biological significance and predict transport processes that may reduce deleterious mechanical stresses.
