I find that hard to understand. I believe the consensus is that an on-demand page-level migration statregy like Aidan described is precisely the plan when it's necessary to handle page format changes. There were no page format changes for 8.3->8.4 however so there's no point writing dead code until it actually has anything to do. And there was no point writing it for previously releases because there was pg_migrator anyways. Zdenek's plan was basically the same but he wanted the backend to be able to handle any version page directly without conversion any time. Pointing at the 8.3 pg_migrator limitations is irrelevant -- every single one of those limitations would not be addressed by a page-level migration code path. They are all data-type redefinitions that can't be fixed without understanding the table structure and definition. These limitations would all require adding code to the new version to handle the old data types and their behaviour and to convert them to the new datatypes when a tuple is rewritten. In some cases this is really not easy at all. -- greg

Small Business Administration The SBA is stepping up initiatives to build awareness of its programs amongst underserved communities. According to a blog post by Marie Johns, the SBA's Deputy Administrator, the SBA teamed last week with the U.S. Black Chamber of Commerce to increase the participation of black-owned small businesses in SBA programs, including loan programs, government contracting and its resource partner network, such as SCORE. Banks and government agencies also have lending programs, specifically for blacks and other minorities who are owners of companies past the start-up stage. Check this article on Business.com to get more resources to help your business grow. Franchising Franchising amongst blacks and minorities is rising. According to a December report by the International Franchise Association, minority ownership of franchised businesses rose from 6.2% in 2002 to 20.5% in 2007. The report cited the most recent U.S. Census data available. Blacks and minorities were also more likely to run a franchised business as compared to a non-franchised business. Blacks owned 4.9% of all franchises, compared to Asians who owned 10.4% of all franchises and Hispanics who owned 5.2%, the report said. Franchisors in the IFA's MinorityFran program are actively looking to recruit minority prospects. Through the program, the franchises extend incentives to their prospects, including reductions in initial franchise fees, additional marketing support or incentives to establish brands in underserved communities that could provide tax credits to the franchisee, among other programs. The IFA is also about to launch a "Meet the Mayors" program in three cities this year, kicking off in Burnsville, Minn. on Aug. 23. According to IFA spokesman Matt Haller, the program is focused on inner-city franchise development and will address topics such as: Development issues including the permit process;
How to effectively communicate with economic development officials;
New market expansion;
What it would take to establish an economic development fund; and
Access to capital. "It's all about accelerating franchising," says Miriam Brewer, the IFA's senior director of education and diversity.

Updos With Full Bangs
Bangs are becoming an increasingly popular way to completely change a person's look without having to commit to a new hairstyle When it comes to updos, full bangs can give you a stunning yet very different look than you are used to.
Although the updos to your right are smiliar, you can see the difference when one is styled with bangs all back and one is styled with full bangs.
The hairstyles in our updo galleries will allow you to view many different updos with full bangs so you can choose to duplicate a style that you think would be flattering for you.
Bangs are far more versatile than many people would ever believe. You can wear your full bangs rather long or have them slightly short; you can opt for blunt ends or layers for volume. The choice is inevitably up to you.
Updos with full bangs can be sported by women who have practically any type of face shape and hair texture. You will just need to have your full bangs modified to suit your needs.
There are updo hairstyles with full blunt or side bangs in different that will be perfect for any occasion.
Updos And Facial Features
Using bangs to minimize a facial feature that you are less than pleased with is also a very useful idea.
You can use full bangs with your updo to call attention away from such features as a high forehead for example.
Eye Makeup For Updos With Full Bangs
You may wish to make your eye makeup dramatic when wearing updos with full bangs.
This is because having hair such as bangs near your eyes can actually call attention away.
To bring life back to your eyes and cause them to pop you may have to do something interesting with the cosmetics around your eyes.

O'Reilly: "[I]s there a 50 Cent that we have to put up" for Kwanzaa?
Video ››› ››› JULIE MILLICAN
Loading the player reg...
Responding to a caller's assertion that no other "religious symbol other than the Nativity should be put up during Christmas," Bill O'Reilly stated on the December 19 edition of Westwood One's The Radio Factor that "if you're generous, you [should] put up all the symbols." Continuing, O'Reilly asserted that "there's really only one [other] symbol, and that's the menorah. There's no Kwanzaa symbol." O'Reilly, presumably referring to the rapper 50 Cent, then asked if "there [was] a 50 Cent that we have to put up" to honor Kwanzaa. He was later corrected and told that there is "a Kwanzaa symbol," which he characterized as "a candelabra like Liberace had." Kwanzaa is an African-American and Pan-African holiday celebrated from December 26-January 1.
From the December 19 edition of Westwood One's The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:
CALLER: I don't think that any religious symbol other than the Nativity should be put up during Christmas because Christmas is a federal holiday. Hanukkah is not, and winter solstice isn't. If they want them that way, pass the law and then you can put them up.
O'REILLY: Yeah. But then when you get into the exclusionary, you get into, "Yeah, it's a federal holiday, but we're only gonna honor the secular meaning of the holiday. We're not gonna honor the religion." And then you get the little baby Jesus. I can see where you're coming from. But I don't think -- look, the spirit of the season is goodwill toward men, correct, [caller]?
CALLER: Yes.
O'REILLY: All right. So goodwill toward men means you're generous. And then if you're generous, you put up all the symbols. There is only -- there's really only one symbol, and that's the menorah. There's no Kwanzaa symbol. Maybe -- is there a 50 Cent that we have to put up or something? Is there a Kwanzaa symbol? What is that? It's a candelabra like Liberace had? All right. We'll put that up, too. I don't mind.

Subject: [APPLETON] Appleton Royal Ancestry, reposting #1
Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2003 11:45:10 +0200
Due to technical problems, I will repost this 39-generation ahnentafel for
Samuel Appleton who married Hannah Paine, the progenitor of many Appleton's
in America. All generations are referenced; references in brackets follow
the fact stated. The bibliography is found at the end of the file, which
will be included with the last posting of this ancestry. I will post 4-6
generations each day, beginning from the most recent and working back in
For those not used to medieval naming conventions, the surnames beginning
with "DE" or "D'" are Latin for "OF". Many surnames were derived from
localities, with the DE being dropped as time went on. I have followed
Welch conventions of patronymics: AB denotes "son of", FERCH denotes
"daughter of". You may have encountered alternative spellings of many names
mentioned here, and I have used the "Alias" field in my program to account
for most of the ones I've seen. Where you see in a reference something such
as "line 45-20" it is from the F.L. Weis books (in case anyone is not
familiar with them). It is set up by family lines in sequence, hence the
format. For many of the generations shown here I have additional
descendants, but the ahnentafel format does not permit this. If anyone
would like this information in one file, please let me know.
First Generation

representative 1668 and often after to 1681, when he was made Assistant and
by annual election continued in that rank to the time of overthrow of the
charter government 1686. In 1675 he had command of all the MA forces on CT
river and late in the season, when succeeded by Major Savage in that
quarter, was transfered to the expedition against Narranganset for the
bloody and decisive action of 19 Dec. Resolute in support of the liberty of
the people against the unlawful taxation in 1687, he was imprisoned by
Andros, and hardly released. See Hutch. I. 365. In the new Charter of
William and Mary, 1691, he was made one of the council, though by the

became a freeman of the city of London. At the same time he succeeded to
his father's lands in Great Canfield, and also received by his father's will
100, a handsome legacy for those times, and equal to 3000 at the present

Throughout my time spent in 2011 and 2012 I had many confrontations with the abject nature of poverty and underdevelopment. One particular example revolved around pollution in the form of waste: biophysical and the material byproducts of consumption. I'll start with three little anecdotes…
I have been back in the US since the beginning of May. On my last day in Peru I went surfing with the executive director of the organization I was working with. We drove about 40 miles south of Lima to surf a little point break called Puerto Viejo. The waves were small, but the surf had some good shape despite some small onshore winds when we arrived. The water was fairly clear for the most part. I donned a spring suit that the ED lent me. We spent about two or three hours in the water. Upon my return to the hotel I noticed a small, quarter-inch sore or abrasion on my upper left shin. I thought nothing of this. But over the following weeks it grew in size until it was about the size of a quarter dollar. I went to a dermatologist in California in June who thought it was eczema and prescribed me a steroid spray. Needless to say it continued to grow and is now the size of a half dollar and has started new colonies further down my shin. I have tried anti-fungal cream, but it is clear that I need to return to the dermatologist to figure out what it is that my girlfriend has affectionately named as Frank. The second and third stories provide possible reasons and sources of this infection.
While I was in the Peruvian coastal town of Huanchaco I met a lovely surf couple from California. The man was then suffering from Hepatitus A, which he assumed he contracted from the water from all the time he spent surfing (which was a daily endeavor). I spent many days in the water there, paddling through the trash to get to the waves. I have never seen so much trash polluting the water in one place. The beaches were strewn with litter that had washed ashore. But this does not explain Hepatitis or my friend Frank. But the third anecdote does.
One morning on my way to work I witnessed a mother holding her toddler in her hands by his bare thighs, his pants around his ankles, while he was producing violent diarrhea directly into the rain gutter. The sad fact is that much of the sewage of Peru goes untreated into rivers and enters the ocean. Much of the trash as well. There is not yet a consciousness regarding health or environmental issues resulting from these practices, nor the financial resources for government to ensure safe disposal and treatment of waste, nor the perspective to consume less packaging (people look at you sideways if you ask to not take a bag when shopping at a store).
While in the Amazon working on planning for a regional renewable energy program (see 28 January post) I witnessed a development issue that I felt trumped the need for electrification: clean water and adequate sanitation. As humans we produce biological hazards to ourselves and our environment at the most basic level. The largest killer in the world comes from water borne illnesses that we can prevent. This is entirely evident when one takes the time to simply look around. I witnessed and thought about this a lot while I was in Peru. Now I live with the consequences of it on my leg. But I have no doubt that it was from the water and is related to issues of proper sanitation.
Here are a few simple pictures of the issue as it exists:
My friend witnessed this kid collecting and drinking water from an Amazonian river very close to a nearby outhouse.
This is not the said outhouse near the kid in the above picture, but this is a very typical site.
Human waste flows directly into the river (most Amazonian communities are inundated with water many parts of the year) and trash is discarded directly into the water as well. Many wonder where the Pacific Garbage Patch comes from (it obviously does not come from here, as this flows into the Atlantic… but the idea is the same), but from photos like this it is entirely clear… from us (see: http://sprinterlife.com/2012/01/pacific-trash-vortex.html). But the answer is not a simple one. In the "developed" countries that we come from, the treatment and disposal of waste is tied into our complex systems of public infrastructure (whether privatized or not). But in countries like Peru, infrastructure in this context is simply out of reach for many communities.
I worked on a project in the Amazon over many months in 2012 focusing on bringing renewable electricity to isolated communities, but I felt like the main development issue was really related to the context of water, sanitation, and health. How can a community really develop when it confronts water borne illnesses on a daily basis. Goal 7 of the Millennium Development Challenge is to "halve by 2015 the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation". According to the Pan American Health Organizations' Scientific and Technical publication no. 622: Health in the Americas 2007, although Peru has seen marked improvements in water and sanitation coverage between 1990 to 2004 due to high economic growth rates (averaging over 6.8% in a 20 year period), the relationship between water/ sanitation and poverty, exclusion, and health is extremely high in many rural contexts.
The Amazon basin is even higher due to the low population density and isolation of many communities due to issues of access Much of the Amazon can only be reached by boat, roadways are almost non-existent, and inundation of water into communities is endemic. What is important to consider is how health issues effect abilities to develop and what the costs of health are on families and communities. It ranges from lost days of work, to lost days of school, to the real costs of health care. All of these add up.
Back in the Andes of Cajamarca the situation is similar in respect to disposal of waste, however water resources have been developed to a greater extent. Currently the population of the city is around 200,000. However the sanitation infrastructure was developed over 20 years ago, prior to the rapid expansion of the city due to the mine. Therefore, what was designed to accommodate a population of no more than 80,000 is now confronting more than double capacity. Moreover, solid waste disposal faces the same problem. The infrastructure simply does not exist. And from a psychological or social behavior stand point, the consciousness for developing these areas simply does not exist either. There is some movement towards it, but it appears to be slow-going and may take a long time to develop.
In the interim, I have Frank to deal with back here in the US.

"The first line of defense against too much blood cholesterol is a diet that is rich in foods that lower cholesterol. A healthy diet should include plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and fiber, and be low in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol. For the vast majority of Americans, eating healthy and losing excess weight are ideal ways to lower elevated cholesterol levels and keep those levels within a healthy range for life.
Even those foods or supplements that may have a beneficial effect on cholesterol need to be part of an overall heart-smart diet. Having oatmeal for breakfast and a glass of wine at dinner is fine, but if you add whole milk and butter to the oatmeal or have a Porterhouse steak with the wine, you're not doing your heart any favor"
Some excellent suggestions-- some which you may not know about.

Kleemann grilled on One.Tel loan deals
Page Tools
Two emergency financing arrangements to shore up stricken telecom One.Tel in the fortnight before its collapse in May 2001 were the focus of evidence given by Publishing and Broadcasting Ltd chief financial officer Geoff Kleemann in the NSW Supreme Court on Friday.
Mr Kleemann agreed that in mid-May 2001, PBL and the other major One.Tel shareholder, News Ltd, issued a press release which announced the companies' commitment to a $132 million unconditional rights issue for One.Tel.
On May 21, Mr Kleemann organised a $9 million overdraft from ANZ Bank to pay Telstra and Optus, which were pressing for payment. Mr Kleemann said he knew David Hewett at ANZ and negotiated the overdraft as an officer of PBL.
But he denied on several occasions that he had anything to do with negotiating another bridging loan from Toronto Dominion at about the same time for a much larger amount, although his name featured on many of the email trails relating to that loan.
Mr Kleemann said those loan negotiations were conducted between PBL executive Guy Jalland, newly appointed One.Tel chairman Peter Yates and Paul Birch of Toronto Dominion, with Freehills lawyer John Nestel arranging documentation.
The ANZ overdraft was to be repaid when the bridging loan was approved. Mr Kleemann said he was not aware "specifically" that Toronto Dominion sought an assurance that the underwriting commitment on the part of PBL was legally binding and unconditional, but added: "It's not surprising."
Asked if he had any recollection at all about whether the rights issue, from which the Toronto Dominion loan was to be repaid, was unconditional, Mr Kleemann said: "It all makes sense, but I just don't recall having those exact discussions."
Nor could Mr Kleemann recall any discussion on May 27 about cancelling the underwriting agreement.
David Williams for Jodee Rich, One.Tel's former managing director who is defending himself against a civil action mounted by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, asked Mr Kleemann if he felt uncomfortable about what happened at the three One.Tel board meetings leading up to One.Tel's administration.
Mr Kleemann said he did. "I think it was an investment that PBL had made that obviously we would have appeared to have lost money on. That is not a comfortable feeling."
Asked the extent of discomfort he felt, Mr Kleemann responded: "That things weren't perhaps what they seemed and … I wasn't the one who discovered that."
But he added he was not uncomfortable with the way PBL behaved. The hearing continues.

I believe in utilizing off camera lighting.
I always deliver the final images in a timely manner.
I'm open to any ideas/themes you'd like to work with and I look forward to hearing from you!

It's the episode we've all been waiting for (besides the makeovers, the go-sees, and the commercial tapings): the one where Tyra teaches the girls how to move their bodies. In previous cycle/seasons, this lesson involved unfortunate body stockings, nude leotards, and lots of crawling. This Cycle, however, Tyra merely issued the girls little black dresses and had them work on their "signature pose," something that she, naturally, assigned to them. After all, Tyra knows best.
Tyra's signature pose is...wait for it...her eyes. Which is kind of like saying your signature dish is a fork, but whatever. How can eyes be a pose? Turns out anything is possible in the logic void that is ANTM and Tyra's brain: "No matter what pose I am doing, it is always this [Tyra points at her eyes]." Well, pointing at your eyes is a pose, but I don't think that's what she meant.
Still, Tyra's teachings were invaluable. Annaleigh (Baby Topanga) thought her signature pose was "Ice Skater," turns out it should be the completely nonsensical "Rebel Skater." McWig believed her signature pose to be "Punches," but Tyra managed to show her that in fact it should be "Neck." Of course! Icy, see-through blonde Lauren Brie desperately wanted her signature pose to be "awkward," and it was, kinda: Tyra told her to be more "surfer." Sheena's signature pose was "Diva S," aka, "Girl, I'm just gonna go up there and give them Diva S. Click Click." Tyra, however, gave Sheena the pose of "cultural dance." Which culture? You know, whichever. African, maybe? But Tyra issued the best signature pose to Marjorie, whose mild form of realism and uber-Frenchness clearly inspired Tyra. Marjorie's signature pose was "The hunchback of Notredame," which I naively thought was going to be the ridiculousness high for this episode, the spike on the seismic stupidity graph of ANTM. But then I hadn't seen the photoshoot.
The photoshoot was a look at award show mistakes, but more importantly it was an excuse for Tyra to bring up the Tyra Banks Show, and the sorry spectacle that was the Fiercee Awards. Once again, Marjorie got the best/worst assignment: She had to depict having to pee in a gown. Naturally she nailed it thanks to all of her hunchback of Notredame training. The other girls' assignments were stupid, yes, but not that stupid. Baby Topanga was asked to portray "an interviewer with an attitude," and she excelled. All that rebel skating really paid off! Sheena used her cultural dance knowledge to muddle through "someone steps on her dress," while Elina tried to exhibit actual emotions--which is hard for her unless the emotion is "I hate my mom,"--to portray "Overemotional winner." It was translucent-to-the-point-of-invisibility Lauren Brie, though, who struggled the most. She had to act out "trips on stairs," but she couldn't do it without looking like a statue that had tumbled over. As she floundered, she no doubt looked deep inside herself, calling upon her Tyra pose training, trying to remember what it was like to pose like a "surfer" because a severe egomaniac was yelling that word at her, but it was to no avail. Thinking "surfer" while trying to trip up stairs convincingly doesn't help any more than thinking "frisbee" while trying to convey sadness.
So when the models were brought before Tyra, excuse me, Little Black Riding Hood, Lauren Brie and Sheena were in the bottom two (they were also part of the bottom two edit of this episode. Coincidence?): Lauren Brie because her picture was lackluster and she has the personality of cream-of-wheat. Sheena because her picture was lackluster, and she could never actually be a model. But Sheena had lots of personality (read: praise for Tyra, and also sassitude), so she was allowed to stay. Lauren Brie, who was speaking more in this episode than in the cycle as a whole, was sent home, mostly because she fit the "Model" part of America's Next Top Model too well for Tyra's liking.
Grade: B+
Stray Observations:
--"Why am I so theatrical? Because your photo shoot was so theatrical. So I decided to be little black riding hood." Oh, that explains it. Why even try? Honestly, if Tyra's going to try to explain all the weird, narcissistic stuff she does in this show, it's going to be a lot longer than an hour.
--Ironically, Tyra's hood made her look almost more like the wicked queen/old lady from Snow White than Ms. Jay did.
--"I couldn't show my emotions. You don't do that in Europe," so says Ukranian-born Elina. She's just doing her part to stick with the blame-Europe-for-everything theme of this cycle.
--Elina's tattoo reads: "A voice for those who can't speak." Did Europe make her do that as well?
--[on seeing Tyra posing for photos] "That's how she do it! That's how she got all them pictures!" Sheena's ghetto-tinged enthusiasm for Tyra is the only reason she's still on the show.

Updated: 03-SEP-2014
By: JoinWebs
Informations about Updates and New Themes are always announced on Twitter and Facebook. Twitter updates are usually more up to date, Facebook updates are more detailed and easier to follow :)
Hello! First of all I would like to thank you for purchasing my theme! :)
This file will teach you how to set up and use the "classify" WordPress Theme.
This file is really extensive so you might think the theme is hard to use,
actually its not, you probably just might jump to the options page and explore everything yourself, this file is more of a reference work if you do not know what to do, or if you are not familiar to WordPress.
Have fun with your new theme! best regards
The Theme is built with WordPress best practices in mind, therefore it makes heavy use of the WordPress template engine. What exactly does that mean?
Whenever you see a php function call like this within your php files (get_header(), get_footer() or get_sidebar() ) the theme retrieves a reusable code snippet, most of the time a chunk of code that is used in many different files.
Apart from the php structure the theme uses a lot of modern CSS3 features, most notably the power of media queries to serve different layouts for different viewport sizes. If you use a modern browser (IE9 +, Chrome, Safari, Firefox) and resize your browser window you will realize that the theme adapts its size to the viewport.
Uploading Classify via FTP to WordPress
Note: After active theme, Your Screen will look like this.
After the theme activation you'll see an info box about installing some plugins:
Click on Begin Installation.
To get all the features you see on our demo, make sure you'll install all of them.
After to Install plugin come back on WordPress Dashboard and you will see screen like this.
You must need to install WooCommerece Page if you want to setup Shop on your website.
To import content go to Dashboard -> Tools -> Import. There select WordPress -> Install the plugin, activate it and run the importing. Inside the folder you downloaded from ThemeFores (All Files and Documentation) you'll have a folder "Dummy-Content" inside it one xml file "complete.xml". On importing select it.
Note: In Dummy Content Folder we have one folder by name of "Single" , In This folder you will see 5 xml File if you want to import only post, pages, pricing-plan, products or Variations then you need to import these xml file. We just Include this because we know some user only want to import one part of dummy content.
After the importing demo content is done we have to setup the menu. Go to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Menus. Here Select Main Menu first from "Select a menu to edit:". After that select the menu location ( see 2 on picture ) and save the menu.
Go to dashboard -> Options ( see 1 in picture) -> Import ( 2 in picture ) -> Import from file ( 3 in picture ). Go to "Dummy-Content" folder, open "theme-options.json" file in "ReduxFramework Settings" with a text editor, copy everything inside it and paste in the import field. Click import ( 4 in picture ).
Go to dashboard -> LayerSlider WP -> On import block select the file located in "Dummy Content" Folder by name of LayerSLider.json and click "Import"
Go to dashboard -> Options -> Pages. As you can see the links are already there but they are from our demo. They come there when we imported the ReduxFramework settings. We have to replace with ours. The pages are created we only have to copy the link in the right place.
The pages are:
To setup categories icons go to Posts -> Categories. Click on main category and there you'll have custom field for category icon code, a color picker and an upload image for icon. The icons are located in "psd/categories icons" folder. The icon code are from http://fontawesome.io/icons/

Shopping: color - 7ba48a, icon code - , image - shopping.png
If you want to change the general Options of the Theme open the "classify" Theme Options Panel (located in your admin sidebar) and click it, you will notice several tabs with options, which we will discuss now one by one.
Here you will add the logo, favicon and google analitycs id, google map styles.
Here you can setup Google Adsense or Other image ads.
Please set-up the custom pages to have a functional directory theme.
There are 8 (eight) pages that you have to create. Go to dashboard (or from top admin bar) click on Add New Page. Give it a name and select the right template. Save it and copy the permalink into the rigth option url field.
Here you can change the font. Ther are available 650+ Google fonts.
Here you can change the colors.
Here you can add the social links.
Here you can change theme fixed word.
Here you can asetup the contact page.
Here you can setup the paypal. To get the paypal api credentials please follow the link: https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/api/apiCredentials/
You can add ads from front end and if you are the admin you can add theme from back end as standard posts. There are two type of ads: regular and featured. For featured ads the user will need to buy a price plan. The spots for featured ads are above the regular on homepage, category page, archive page, search page and on sidebar. The featured ads will become regular when the period of time from price plan will end. The latest ad will be shown first (in both categories: featured and regular). The user can convert a regular ad into a featured one by simply editing it and selecting a price plan that he has bought.
You can have an unlimited number of pricing plans. To add a new one please go to dashboard -> Pricing Plans -> Add New Price Plan. Please fill the name some description, the price (without the currency sign, it will be added from paypal settings - see above.) the ads number and the ads active time. Publish it.
The Theme uses valid HTML and comes with predefined classes for common elements needed in web design.
All templates share basic elements like header, footer, main, and entry so be carefull when editing those or adding/changing the CSS for those ids and classes :)
The CSS for the theme is split into various files: one that holds the basic markup for layout which is called style.css.
The theme uses advanced jQuery functions. You do not need to know how to use jQuery to activate them, almost everything is controlled by WordPress. All the function calls as well as as the custom created jQuery plugins are located in the custom.js file.
Once again, thank you so much for purchasing this theme. As I said at the beginning, I'd be glad to help you if you have any questions relating to this theme. No guarantees, but I'll do my best to assist.

text: 8 Chapter 1 Your goal is to maintain actively paying families. Be alert to any changes in a fam- ily's payment history such as excessive late fees, bounced checks, doubling up on payments, and partial payments. December 20, 2009 Dear Fred Smith: I am sending you this letter to request the outstanding balance owed for Rebecca's tuition from December 6 through December 12. You informed me that a payment would be made on Thursday, December 10. I have not received a payment nor have I had the opportunity to personally speak with you. Because of the amount of tuition due, Rebecca may lose her placement at Sunny Skies Child Care. While I would miss having Rebecca in my program, I cannot maintain quality care without timely tuition payments. Please inform me of your intention to resolve this matter as soon as possible. Sincerely, Chamayne N. Green, Director Plan for Terminating Child Care There will likely be times when a family decides to leave your program. Therefore, you need to have a procedure in place for terminating care. A two-week written notice is normally required before a family can leave a program. This notice is a courtesy to you because you will need to find another family to replace the family who is leaving. If your contract includes a security deposit up front, the family may not be required to give a two-week notice. If the security deposit you requested will not be used to offset any debt owed, then you may apply this deposit as payment for withdrawal within the two-week time frame. For example, if the family informs you that they will no longer use your service, having this in your contract allows you to keep the deposit. Remember that it is good business practice to respect a family's decision to terminate care. However, finding out why the decision was made can help you determine if you were a factor and if you need to make any changes to your program.

Reports say Nash earns NBA MVP award
ESPN.com news services
PHOENIX -- Steve Nash will win his second straight NBA Most Valuable Player award, according to reports on several area newspapers.
The announcement may not come for two weeks, according to the Arizona Republic. But the paper, and others, report that the voting shows Nash edging LeBron James, Dirk Nowitzki, Chauncey Billups and Kobe Bryant for the MVP.
This season, Nash had career-highs in points (18.8 points per game), rebounds (4.2 per game), field goal percentage (51.2 percent) and free throw percentage (92.1 percent -- best in the league). He was also the league-leader in assists (10.5) and shot nearly 50 percent from three-point range.
The Suns are currently playing the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
A year ago, Nash edged Shaquille O'Neal in what was the fourth-closest balloting in history.

A class action lawsuit is a particular kind of litigation, used when a large number of people have the same problem with a company's product or activities. Many companies have had class action lawsuits filed against them, including Apple Computer, Farmers Insurance, Burger King, LP Siding, Microsoft, and Coppertone. Class action lawsuits are also filed against companies for product defects that could potentially hurt anyone buying their products. Asbestos and tobacco class action claims are examples, as are the drug class action cases against the manufacturers of Accutane, Celebrex, Ephedra, Vioxx, and Paxil. Class action attorneys can discuss the pros and cons of a class action lawsuit with you if you think one may be appropriate. Class action lawyers are usually paid on contingency, which means they receive a percentage of the money paid if you win the lawsuit.

I've only been using this serum for two weeks, so it's still early days but I will update this after a few months.
First off, the price is great. SN sells samples pretty cheaply, and it took me two weeks to finish two of them with twice-daily use. I use this in the morning under my sunscreen, and while it isn't super moisturizing on its own, it doesn't actively dry me out like my sunscreen does. It makes my skin super smooth and after two weeks I have less redness (my nose is usually bright red, now just pink, yay!) and my skin looks over-all brighter. At night I use this after cleansing with Cerave, wait fifteen minutes, use Stridex and then moisturize - this routine has really improved the appearance of my blackheads and sebaceous filaments, and I have fewer bumps on my forehead and chin.
As for wrinkles, I'll have to update on that later - I have some fine lines at the corners of my eyes and recently sagging eyelids, so I'm hoping this will help with those.

This serum is called �Facelift Vitamin C, DMAE & Peptide serum� on the website. I am finishing up the sample of this serum which was often recommended on the skincare board.
If you read my long winded skin history below, you can see that I had my skin back on track from a worrisome bumpiness/acne-like reaction to dehydration. But, up until now, I have never had lines around my eyes and I am just turning 35. Also, my forehead is starting to show a few tiny creases and the bridge of my nose seems a bit crinkly. I wanted something beyond moisture. I got a sample of this serum and a few others for super cheap and my skin has shown a lot of improvement.
This serum is being used daily in the morning and I am using the Super Serum at night. After the Super Serum, I wake up to super smooth and soothed skin. I do not feel the same about the Facelift Serum, but it might be that a restful sleep versus a super stressful day might be responsible for the difference. However, I feel, for whatever reason � it is hard to describe �that this serum is making a difference. The overall texture of my skin is amazing and I have nary a bump in sight. Since I am using the two serums together, it is hard to pin point which one is doing what, but my dark scars are fading and I feel like very slowly the fine lines around my eyes are getting a bit better.
I like the description of actives that are on the website since they make me feel like I am doing "something" to combat ageing and I LOVE that none of it irritates my skin in the least. I also like that the SuperSerum and the FaceLift serum have different stuff so hopefully I am going at those pesky lines with both guns blazing. I am putting my $$ where my mouth is and ordering a full size for me and a sample size for my mother in law.
My skin history: I was having issues with my skin after being acne free for about 5 years (I used to have large cysts that lasted for months and then left nasty dark scars that eventually turned into pits. I cleared my skin by researching acne.org and using green tea toner, tea tree oil, burts bees radiance serum (discontinued), purpose redness reducing lotion spf 30 (discontinued) and slept with calamine lotion mask (pink stuff) at night. It took several months, but the calamine lotion especially killed the cysts and healed the skin. I would highly recommend.). Recently, was having skin colored bumps, not really fully blown acne, but they were persistent and made my skin quality look terrible. So, I tried the list of stuff that worked before and it was not quite working. I tried many new products since my old stuff was discontinued and everything new did not work, made it worse, or only worked for a day or two. Finally, I just put some of my cetaphil cream on my face one night and expected to wake up with a face that looked like pizza. Image my surprise when my face was so much better in the morning. Then I got it -- it was not acne -- my face was super dehydrated and my pores were enlarged trying to produce enough oil to hydrate my face. Coming from a background of acne and trying to reduce oil, I guess it makes sense I would not recognize dehydrated skin if it (literally) smacked me in the face. From then on, I have been using Cetaphil lotion day and night and it has been amazing. However, I wanted to add something to help especially with overall firmness, the dehydration lines around my eyes, some crinkliness at the bridge of my nose, and the appearance of very fine lines in my forehead. I blame all of these new things on the months of dehydration. Nothing honestly anyone would notice, except maybe around the eyes when I smile, but I have had NO lines until now and I am not happy about the change.

Sadly this broke me out. I can use most skincare and not get spots, but this serum really clogged me up. Otherwise I found it fairly non greasy (but then I didnt use too much) and non irritating. I am glad I only bought a sample!

This made me break out terribly. I went back to my tried-and-true regime, and it's still taken my face several weeks to recover. :( I wish I'd never tried it.

Skin: Dry, Fair, Not Sure

My skin: Dry, sensitive, acne-prone, pale (~NC15), with redness in cheeks and T-zone.
I've tried various other Vit. C Serums (L-AA) which were far to irritating and left my skin raw. I mulled over trying Silk natural's Vit. C Serum for a while before actually purchasing because I had had such bad experiences with Vit. C, but I'm glad I did!
This Vit. C serum is made with MAP which is gentler and more stable than L-AA. I use 2 pumps for face and neck in the morning (to help boost my sunscreen) and at night as well. It doesn't cause any stinging and I can use this any time of day (morning or night). It also doesn't aggravate the redness in my face, has helped to calm down and brighten my skin.
Price & Will I repurchase? Most definitely! One bottle has lasted 2-3 months. The shelf-life is 2-3 months. A 1 oz. blue tinted bottle costs $15.95 (excluding shipping). I wish there was some sort shipping deal because I can see myself repurchasing again and again, but in order to ensure that it's still stable and fresh, I can only order 1 bottle at a time and I'd have to pay for shipping to Canada each time.
Overall: This is a great product and definitely worth of try for those who have sensitive skin or are looking for a gentle Vit. C product.

I ordered a bunch of samples from Silk Naturals out of the recommendation of an another MUA'er. This was the only one I liked. I can not say anything about correcting wrinkles since I used this on my shoulder where I had sun damage (a lot of brown spots). To my amazement the little sample bottle managed to lighten the spots significantly in only a few weeks. It does dry out the skin so I'd suggest some moisturizing lotion on top.
If it's sun damage you want to fix: this stuff works! For that 5 lippies. I'll be ordering the full size bottle and see if I dare to try it on my face. So far all Silk Natural products have caused an allergic reaction on my face, hence why I used this sample on my shoulder only. We'll just have to try and see.

I bought a sample size of this. I didn't care for it. It smelled like stale water and it was incredibly sticky on my face. I couldn't stand it anymore so I rinsed it off. Such a shame. I love the Awesome Sauce serum though!! That's a keeper

I like this alot. I use it especially after I've been in the sun to help restore my skin. The only reason I wouldn't buy it again is I get the same ingredients + DMAE in the Facelift Serum. Love Silk Naturals products!

This is for the version with DMAE. This is a WONDERFUL serum, does all it claims to do. Gives your skin a glow. MAP is the only form of VIT C my sensitive skin can take. This is worth a sample ($1.50ish).

Leaves is a drapey, open shawl with a deep border. The piece begins at its pointy end with a lacy leaf border. After three sections of the border pattern are established, the edging diverges into the side borders and the garter stitch body fills in between them. You can easily lengthen or shorten the shawl by working more or fewer repeats of the left and right edge charts.

COLLEGE PARK, Md.
- A pair of incoming University of Maryland water polo recruits
claimed a stranglehold on prep postseason awards in South Florida
to culminate their high school careers.
Elina Goldenberg of Sunrise, Fla., was named Girls Water Polo Player of the Year by the South Florida Sun Sentinel, and Shelby Reyes of Miami, Fla., earned similar honors from the Miami Herald. Both will play for the Terrapins in the fall.
A four-time Player of the Year in Broward County, Goldenberg helped St. Thomas Aquinas High School go 17-6 during a rebuilding season in 2007-08. She paced her team's attack, registering 69 goals out of 126 attempts and 67 assists. The four-time team captain also had 83 steals and eight field blocks during her final prep season.
Reyes served as goalie for a Gulliver Prep School squad that claimed its eighth consecutive Florida State championship in April. She finished her prep career undefeated, helping her team extend its unbeaten streak to 222 contests. She joins the Terps as the career record-holder for saves in the Florida State tournament.
Goldenberg (Navy Aquatic Club and South Florida Water Polo Club) and Reyes (Florida Coast Water Polo Club) will continue to compete for their respective club teams this summer prior to arriving in College Park.

Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Thank you for using JustAnswer!
Where were the drugs found?
Because he was in your car, that means you were in "constructive" possession of the drugs. That's why you were charged.
A drug crime is very serious and can have long-term implications in terms of trying to find jobs in the future. You should hire a criminal defense attorney to help you in court. If you cannot afford an attorney, you should ask for court-appointed counsel.
Good luck and best wishes for better days ahead! I hope that you find this information to be helpful and this answer to be ACCEPTable!

TEDxUNLV 2016: Living in the Extreme!
Our 2016 TEDx theme is "Living in the Extreme!" Who doesn't find life to be a bit extreme at times? We'll explore how people ride the extreme waves, maintain their humanity, explore creativity, and stay connected.
What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
Our event is called TEDxUNLV, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDx UNLV event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

In "It's time to blow away our green energy targets" (AFR, June 21), Mark Lawson reports that Australia's renewable energy targets for at least 20 per cent of the nation's electricity to come from green sources by 2020 are looking increasingly challenging. Currently we are nowhere near that target and no large-scale rollout of renewables is in the pipeline.
But what appears feasible is the opportunity to invest in both clean coal technology and alternatives, both as a nation and in partnership with our trading partners.
Australia could play a leading role in introducing cleaner technologies, investing in both clean coal technology and in alternatives such as solar and wind to avoid sudden dislocation to traditional energy sources.
This country is ideally suited to substantially reduce our emissions, at the same time generating new investment and employment.

Hello there, puppies!
I have gone and submitted a design to Threadless', Pin-up Tee Challenge! I'll love you forever if you pop over there and give me a 5!!! My goal here is to buy a new computer with the winnings. My poor lappy is on the verge of hard-drive failure and has been through some recent, intensive repairs; so I live everyday in fear of it taking a massive techno-shit on me (yes, I back up obsessively).In addition to my ducky-faced duo getting inked up on a shirt, Threadless will also print up awesome temporary tattoos of the design (which I am WAY TOO giddy about).
So, please… find it in your heart to help a ducky out.

…without giving up a good night's sleep
Recent studies by Harvard Health Publications have shown that evening exposure to blue light from electronic screens can suppress our bodies' production of melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone. The suppression of melatonin can prolong the time it takes to fall asleep, which in turn can delay REM sleep and reduce alertness the following morning. Blue Shade gives you the option to fine-tune the color settings, with the device intelligently adjusting the color filtering so that at any color or brightness, the blue wavelength light is always sufficiently suppressed compared to other wavelengths.
Over 400,000 apps and games

Customer reviews
Top customer reviews
Here are my pros and cons thus far.
Perfect size for Ebooks, and web surfing to alleviate strain on the eyes from my 5" phone display
nice sturdy casing that gives it a nice heft but still weighs in as one of the lighter tablets on the market
Child Accounts- Amazon allows you to set up this tablet with age restricted access for kids making this a low cost piece of tech that is perfect for school kids and allows mom and dad to ration the amount of time lil Johnny can play Clash of Clans and how much he can hit the ol' Visa card for.
Battery life thus far; wife was on it for about 5 hours last night and battery was at about 46%
Kindle Integration -this goes without saying but having my ebooks and audible books synced to the tablet is awesome and my Kindle books look great
Price - it's a $50.Read more ›
|Length: 0:16 Mins
PRICING/CONFIG: I prefer this tablet with ads and no accessories to keep the costs down. You have the option to spend more money, but I recommend against it. You can easily see the specs online, so I won't do you the discourtesy of simply cutting and pasting those here. Here is the price breakdown:
• 49.99 base price – what an incredible price point! Or buy 5 and get a sixth one free! This puts it into reach of schools and non-profits.
• No sponsored screensaver ($15) – big deal that each time you turn it on it shows you something interesting you might want.
• MicroSD card ($19.99 for 32GB) – you probably already have one laying around somewhere. Beyond that, there is memory in the device, and you are using the cloud for storage mostly anyway. If you end up needing this, just buy one off Amazon, it certainly won't be more expensive.Read more ›

The short/summed up version: it's the new budget king in the 6-8" size. It's screen is a little lower in resolution but still pleasant to look at, it has enough power for most of the typical tablet tasks, and it shares many of the same features as its higher priced brothers such as front and back cameras, b/g/n wifi, and good overall battery life (minus an hour) My favorite size tablet is 8", so if you're looking at the amazon fire lineup, i would take this over the 6" for sure, and would have a hard time picking the 8" fire at 3x the price. If you're not a prime member, it's still a good tablet, if you are a prime member: it's a great tablet. Possible quality control issue: Mine had two dead pixels (not very noticeable, but still will exchange) You can load APKs(enable unknown sources), i loaded antutu and panasonic image app, both work properly.
Just some background, i currently own 5 tablets not including this new one, ranging from a nook color, a samsung tab pro 8.4, LG g pad x8.3, an old acer a500 and an off brand 10.1". Suffice it to say: i know my tablets!
Main Cons:
-2 dead pixels
-Front and rear cameras are low resolution, mostly good for video calls only
-1 speaker, sounds tinny like a small laptop, Gets decently loud, use headphones!
-Text not very crisp (but still decent to read)
The rest are overall Positives:
-7-8" is my favorite tablet size, 6" is just a bit too tiny, and 9+ can be cumbersome
-Uses a slightly slower quad core 1.Read more ›

I give the device 5 stars because it does perform. My wish is that it was compatible with the new Alexa app so that I could use new communication features.Published 11 hours ago by gg
