What causes abdominal migraine?
The cause of abdominal migraine is poorly understood. Abdominal migraine is thought by some researchers to be related to neurologic or endocrinologic changes and may be caused by alterations in the levels of serotonin and histamine in the body. Genetic factors may also be involved as the condition is more common in children who have a family history of migraine. About 60% of children with the condition have a positive family history for migraine.
Triggers for abdominal migraine have been described, similar to triggers for classic migraine. These include chocolate or nitrite-containing foods, stress, and anxiety.
What are the symptoms of abdominal migraine?
As mentioned, abdominal migraine causes pain in the abdomen that can be severe and debilitating. It is typically located in the middle portion of the belly, often around the umbilicus. Cramping, nausea, and vomiting can accompany the pain. Pallor (paleness) of the skin is often observed. There may not be associated headache. The symptoms are usually relieved by sleep and can last anywhere from one hour to several days.
How is abdominal migraine diagnosed?
Because of the frequent absence of headache, the condition can be difficult to diagnose, especially during the first episode. There is no specific test that can establish the diagnosis of abdominal migraine, so the diagnosis is based on exclusion of other conditions. Laboratory tests and imaging studies are usually directed to rule out other conditions that could be responsible for the symptoms. Electroencephalography (EEG) is sometimes done to rule out a seizure disorder as the cause of the symptoms.

I am not sure if this is the right forum. If not, mods please feel free to move this.
I am working with a client who wants us to build a web and mobile application that will be able to track user locations on a map as the customer moves around the building (through different exhibit halls, etc) for the purpose of assisting in way finding - and I am trying to find the best way to achieve this.
I know I won't be able to use the mobile phone GPS to get as precise as we'd want to get. What's the best solution to be able to do this? We need to be able to track users as they move between floors, in and out of rooms, etc.
The mobile GPS will probably not get a lock at all indoors. Do you have control of the devices the application is installed on are are they personal devices?
Your best bet albeit tricky and probably not very accurate, would be to use multiple wifi/bluetooth sources and then use signal strength proportions to designate location. The more sources you have the more accurate you could make it.
Might be worth looking at this: wirelesswerx.com
If you don't have access to the user devices you should still be good as long as the user can be persuaded to install the app before visiting.
The app needs to compare measured levels of the various wifi/bluetooth sources against a preset grid of measurements to get location.
Been down this path a few times. It is a very, very difficult thing to work out, especially if you are looking for GPS-like behavior. "What am I near" is a bit more in the art of the possible depending on which devices you target. But it is very, very difficult to pull off successfully as the underlying resolution of location services just isn't there yet.
I have found many links for you but I think one of them is very useful for you which I am giving below, I hope you will like it and it will be very helpful for you.mobiletrackingsoftware.co

President Barack Hussein Obama blew off France the other day so he could watch the Dallas Cowboys lose to Green Bay on TV. Now, he's done it again. This time he freed some terrorists and sent them to Yemen, the base claiming credit for the terror attack in France. This will help Al Quaeda to conduct its next attack on France. Thanks, Obama.
The president continues his nonsensical release of dangerous terrorists from the detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He's hell-bent on setting these terrorists free. His desire to set them free is tied to his victim mentality foreign policy. The President will always take the side of those who he sees as the victims. Muslims, in his eyes, cannot be oppressors. He views them as victims of white, United States, oppression… the same way he views himself.
This President is a bad person who is doing great damage to our nation.
I guess with the terrorists in France dying, the President figured he needed to make things 'fair' by restaffing the Al Qaeda Yemen office with this prisoner release.

Tags: Batman & Robin, Batwoman, Brian, Grifter, J.H. Williams III, Mister Terrific, nuDCU
All the super-power-less characters — two Bats, a grifter, and the terrific.
BATMAN & ROBIN #1: Much like the Lantern books, this really read to me like "the next issue of B&R". I did like the impatient Damien scenes while Bruce explains how his message should be about life and not death, but other than that, this was a pretty standard-form bat-comic. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But I have very little to say, other than… OK.
BATWOMAN #1: I had a real shudder of pure joy upon reading this. Man, is it agonizingly beautiful! It also felt to me just packed fulla content, but maybe that's because I was lingering so long with so many of the pages. J. H. Williams is an incredibly exceptional artist, and his writing is perfectly fine as well. Either way, this is the second of the nu52 which I loved loved loved — this was purely EXCELLENT win, all the way, through and through, and we hope for a long long life for this title.
GRIFTER #1: "It's THEY LIVE starring 'Sawyer' from LOST!" was probably the pitch? Though, actually, when I heard the premise the first time, MY flash was to ROM, SPACE-KNIGHT, because what are these mark-2 Daemonites except for effectively being Dire Wraiths? Not to keep harping on the continuity thing, but I have a pretty hard time understanding how a "timeline merge" transforms the very fundamental nature of an entire species? Annnnnnyway, as a way of preserving a trademark, when you can't keep any of the individual bits of that trademark other than (I guess) the mask and the name, I thought this did a perfectly adequate job. But, this doesn't feel like a "comic" to me — it feels like a pitch for a weekly TV show that just happens to be in comic form. None of that is bad, per se, nor is the comic bad, but I'm not so sure this one can or will sustain itself past twelve issues or so? All in all, I thought it was perfectly EH.
MISTER TERRIFIC #1: I am, for the life of me, wondering just what the hell this was all about. The meta stuff, I mean. Did someone already have a MT pitch in hand that the serial numbers could be filled off of easily? Was it 4 am in the last days before they had to announce the books, and they were at book #51, and no one could come up with any better, so they just said "sure, sounds great!" Was it that someone argued there had to be a JSA-connection somewhere, even though there couldn't be an actual JSA?
MT *is* certainly an unique character — a smart, technologically-competent black man who is also an atheist — that's cool, not something you really see in media anywhere is it? But once you remove the legacy aspects of the JSA connection, I think the seams really start to show. Seriously, what grown man (seriously, especially a black man) is going to call himself "Mister Terrific", without it being a legacy name? Same thing with the "Fair Play" : I liked that on a Golden Age character, just the same way I liked Ma Hunkle with the souppot on her head becoming "the Red Tornado", but that's seriously NOT a c21 name.
Even putting that all aside, I really didn't like this comic very much — I thought "The third smartest man" (who, um, is actually Amadeus Cho) was written pretty dumb — in a way that a lack of specificity there wouldn't have bothered me; and a non-visual power for your antagonist like the mind or emotion control here is largely anti-superhero comics. Lots and lots of set-up, no real payoffs, I was pretty disapointed.
What's… well not funny, but not really ironic either, dunno the right term really… is that I was opining to several customers, in the weeks before any of these books coming out, that I was holding out the most hope for the "odd" books like GRIFTER or MISTER TERRIFIC because, historically, the best comics DC publishes tend to come from the fringes where you didn't expect anything whatsoever. Things like Morrison's ANIMAL MAN, or Ostrander's SUICIDE SQUAD, or the Cary Bates CAPTAIN ATOM (seriously? Those first three years? What a great run!), or even why-do-people-forget-it-started-firmly-in-the-DCU Gaiman's SANDMAN were all more vital, and transformative to the greater-DCU, then any monthly-ongoing run of Superman or Batman comics. So, yeah, all the more disappointing that this comic didn't elevate itself out above the pack.
Of what I have read so far, I am thinking this will be the first one cancelled. I may have hated HAWK & DOVE, but there are a contingent of people who like Rob Liefeld to pieces, enough to maybe get that title past year 1. MT, on the other hand, has to solely last on its own merits, of which I find few. It was an AWFUL comic.
As always: what do YOU think?

"I had a real shudder of pure joy upon reading this."
Maybe you should put the artwork vibrator down long enough to realize that this issue of Batwoman is practically indecipherable and the character as presented has NOTHING going for it besides the art, which I find more pretentious than engrossing.
Mister Terrific put me in an odd place, like Green Arrow did – I was reading the book and quite enjoying the set-up/concept, but the way it was all playing out… not so much.
Exact same characters, exact same concept but with different teams – I'd be on board.
One thing I found quite odd in Mister Terrific, and I'm not sure what to make of it, is that two of the black characters (MT is one) seemed really touchy about race. MT felt the need to point out he is black – in England to another black person – and his assistant believes black women are made tougher than white women, and thinks this is a-ok to say to people at fancy parties.
I'm shocked that the super-rich carry a chips on their shoulders.
If they had to go through the lottery system for schools from Ultimate Spider-Man #1, I could understand resentment to the entire world, but it seemed a little odd in this book.
That said, I still kind of want to get the next issue, as I like the set-up, but I doubt the writer can deliver.
I can't wait to read reviews of Suicide Squad on this site!
Adam Glass isn't going to settle for having the worst book of the year with Legion Of Doom, he's going to have the two worst books of the year, thanks to Suicide Squad!
I really enjoyed Batwoman quite a lot. Of course, I read the Batwoman run in Detective Comics when that came out, so I had no problem following along. I can see how someone who hasn't read the character before might be at a loss.
I definitely noticed Rucka's absence from the book. It wasn't bad by any means, but the pacing was a little off. It definitely started a lot of plotlines, which I think is part of what felt off to me — it didn't seem to slow down long enough to develop anything. Also, that infodump toward the end was a little amateurish.
Having said that, the art does go a long way toward mitigating those (fairly minor) flaws. With art as beautiful and evocative as JHW3's, I can overlook a lot. The real test will be when the other artist (sorry, I can't remember her name) takes over for the next art.
Also known as "the next arc," thank you very much.
Yes, the book is a little less for Rucka's absence but the art more than made up for it, with solid storytelling from the writing team. It's this and Action Comics for me so far.
Holy cow, Grifter got an EH? I'd have gone awful or even crap myself. Why is there a shelf full of hats unattended in an apparently depopulated New Orleans? Why is he putting on a mask? Why did an interesting concept become completely unambiguous and boring?
"even why-do-people-forget-it-started-firmly-in-the-DCU Gaiman's SANDMAN"
We don´t forget it, we like to ignore it :-)
What is the appeal of a book like Grifter? The character couldn´t sustain his own title at Wildstorm, like (Stormwatch), so why now?
Williams is a nice enough craftsman, but not an exceptional artist. (plus he is overdoing panel design and layout)
People like for instance Risso, convey much more with less.
@ Mike: I haven't read any Batwoman before this (except for her appearances in 52). I found this story to be pretty straight forward… not indecipherable or hard to follow in the slightest. Urban legend ghost lady is kidnapping kids… Kate is training Bette… Batman shows up… slight detour to accommodate Agent Chase (yay!) and romantic subplot.
And the beautiful, inventive artwork… while splashing all over the page was never difficult to follow at all due to the careful placement of text boxes and word balloons. It doesn't get much better than this. I'm totally in for the next issue!
"I found this story to be pretty straight forward… not indecipherable or hard to follow"
Different strokes and all, but…
1. Why does Batwoman look like the Joker?
2. Why does she fight crime?
3. Why does she wear a Bat-costume to do it?
To answer your questions as succinctly as possible:
1. That was a visual choice by Rucka and Williams III. They were trying to suggest a succubus look.
2. Fighting crime is Kate's way of serving society, given that she got kicked out of the armed forces courtesy of DADT. Also, it's her way of responding to the kidnapping that resulted in the death of her mother and the supposed death of her twin sister.
3. As Kate's father Jake said, wearing a Bat-costume quickly symbolizes that she's one of the good guys.
My only concern about this inaugural issue is the photograph of Kate's former lover Renee Montoya in that display case. Is it for cops who've shown exceptional service…or cops who have been killed in the line of duty? If the latter, I will be very angry at DC's decision.
While I disagree about the art on Batwoman, I do see what MBunge is saying about the story. I think there's a difference between a poorly explained plot and a poorly explained premise. A lot of these DCnU books have plots that are not hard to jump into and are explained decently enough, but it's the actual premises that are poorly explained and feel impenetrable. That was my problem with Batwoman too. I could follow the present-day occurrences but I couldn't follow the established premises.
She apparently has some kind of working relationship to Batman. What is it? They appear to be in a panel together. So how independent is she from him? Does she work for him? And a lot of other questions I had about her as well were not answered. This is coming from someone who has never read a Batwoman comic before, which I assume is the kind of reader DC is hoping this reboot will grab.
I'm a little surprised at the hate for Mister Terrific. I can't argue against the logic of publishing it; I don't know why it exists, either. But to me it was a sharp book with maybe some unfortunate art, and I liked it enough to buy into the series for the time being. I felt like the dialogue and narration had a snap to it that wasn't overly self-aware like say Gail Simone. I may have to re-read it and speak to my therapist and/or spiritual advisor.
Amadeus Cho is actually the seventh smartest person in the world. Also, it's a different world (apologies to Jasmine Guy).
Michael Holt is the 3rd smartest guy in DC behind (allegedly) Lex and Bruce, IIRC.
@MBunge: I'm sympathetic to the complaint that this may not have been an ideal first issue for the BATWOMAN novice, but it seemed to me like a fairly decent compromise. This character has suffered from a whole series of false starts — an early introduction (in 52) and a bunch of company hoo-hah about the 1st lesbian superheroine that led to exactly nothing for months and years, an initial series (in DETECTIVE) that was essentially a protracted frame for an origin story, a #0 that reintroduced the character yet again, and this #1 which was endlessly delayed (partly in order to mesh with the Nu 52).
The worst thing would have been yet ANOTHER entry point narrative. By now, JHWIII & co. pretty much HAD to dive in to the story, guns blazing, and dole out back-story along the way for newcomers, or risk alienating the fans who have been waiting FOREVER for this character to really get moving.
SteveD, I think a good way to handle it, at least for this first month of releases, would have been to do what Marvel used to do at the very top of the first page in its books in the 70s and 80s. The "premise paragraph." Do you remember those? A quick paragraph describing the protagonist, premise and hook of the book, followed by the sentence "Stan Lee Presents: [Insert Name Here!]
How the hell do you rank the smartest people in the world? Do we currently do that in our world? What objective way is there to measure smartest people? It can't just be an IQ test, so what is it? Also, the way he kept mentioning it seemed really arrogant, like something in the family of a "name drop."
The character seemed kind of arrogant and showoffy, yet at the same time seemed to have a chip on his shoulder, God knows why. In fact, I thought one of the defining traits about Mr. Terrific was that he DIDN'T have a chip on his shoulder.
"Michael Holt is the 3rd smartest guy in DC behind (allegedly) Lex and Bruce, IIRC."
I think it's supposed to be a mystery as to who is smarter than he is.
IT does make you wonder though, why aren't they making a book about THE smartest man?
"In fact, I thought one of the defining traits about Mr. Terrific was that he DIDN'T have a chip on his shoulder."
Yup, it was part of the appeal.
It's weird that the guy with 'Fair Play' tattoos has a chip on his shoulder.
(Could explain why he always stresses the 'third smartest' though).
@T: I'm a huge proponent and fan of those old '70s "Stan Lee Presents" headers! As a nascent comix fan, they gave me a bit of much-needed context to just barely prepare me for diving mid-story into some truly baffling-ass shit.
(And I often lament that the downfall of Joss Whedon's FIREFLY was that they never came up with a succinct old-school TREK style opener to explain the premise to newcomers!)

- Digital copy of images
- $75 for each additional half hour
This deal is valid within 20 miles of the 75035 zip code.
A Booth of Memories
When Skyler and Dianna Blattner got married, everyone at their reception had a blast crowding into a photo booth. The newlyweds came away with fabulous memories, snapshots of their friends, and the itch to start their own business. Today, they give others a chance to indulge in such goofiness and glamour by renting out their own curtain-clad photo booths. As business owners, the Blattners pride themselves on their flexibility, which translates into a seamless party experience for their customers.
Staff members deliver and set up the six-foot-tall booth, whose five square feet are cordoned off in velvet curtains and a host-chosen portrait backdrop. Though equipped with a futuristic touchscreen and a high-res digital camera, the booth is highly portable, designed to be kind to floors and wheelchair accessible, and can even be moved during the party.
When up to 10 party guests enter the booth, they first tap the screen to choose between color and black and white, then don accessories from the props box and grin as four snapshots are taken. Twelve seconds later, a strip emerges, showcasing the shots alone or with custom text and graphics. The quartet of images is printed on archival paper designed to resist water, fingerprints, and marker mustaches. High-res video messages or real-time Internet uploading may be added to a booth-rental package. After the last flash has been dispatched, staffers cart the booth away, back to the grassy field where it grazes when it's not on duty.

The Democrat party endorse a self proclaimed "Socialist" (Communist). I guess Howard Dean made up his mind.
Top Vermont Democrats not ready to back Sanders U.S. Senate bid
I'm not surprised.
Okay.......yesterday Dean was not ready to endorse him, but today's article says he is...hm........that wouldn't be a flip-flop would it?
Sanders will be the worst possible thing for Democrats. Since he caucuses with them, he'll be identified with them in the public mind. Since he isn't a party member, they'll have very little to control him with.


text: Nearly famous musician just glad for the ride By Sandy Wells December 30, 2012 Story Share Chris Dorst Even when he isn't performing, longtime musician Norris Lytton enjoys playing a few tunes on his Warwick jazz guitar. In younger days, he preferred the soul and rock sounds of a saxophone. Chris Dorst "Sometimes a door opens... Chris Dorst ...and shuts back in your face... Chris Dorst ...before you get through it." Courtesy photo As a youngster, Norris Lytton enjoyed watching American Bandstand with his mother. Courtesy photo In 1964, Norris Lytton graduated from Stonewall and left soon after for the University of Miami. Courtesy photo The Stonewall Jackson High School band was a big part of Norris Lytton's life in 1963. Courtesy photo The earliest Esquires included (from left) Art Osborne, Norris Lytton, Bobby Lanham, John Osborne, Bob Elias, Bog Jones and Dave Hott. The 1964 picture was taken during a gig at Humphreys Pine Room. Courtesy photo A new vinyl album released in Greece features tapes recorded years ago by the Mind Garage. The picture on the cover, taken in 1969, includes Norris Lytton, Jack Bond, Ted Smith, Larry McClurg and John Vaughan. The album sold out in Europe. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Making it big in a band must be a little like love. It's better to have had your chances than never had chances at all. A lifelong musician, Norris Lytton came within inches of that big brass ring. The band, Mind Garage, signed a recording contract with RCA and played in top venues with some of the biggest names in the business. "Missed opportunities" pushed fame away. Like the potential gig they turned down in a place called Woodstock. And the equipment snafu at the Fillmore East in New York. Circumstantial stuff. His dance band career started with the fledgling Esquires. As a student at West Virginia University, he played with the Epics, the Glass Menagerie and, finally, the Mind Garage. Probably the best of everything was the groundbreaking Electric Liturgy, a rock and roll church service recorded in Nashville that was the first of its kind in the country. At 66, the big dreams have dimmed. But oh, how he loved the chase! "My mom and dad were childhood sweethearts. We lived on Hudson Street on the West Side hill between Hillsdale Drive and Westmoreland Drive."My family was musical. My dad would sit in the back bedroom and play his guitar and a harmonica that had a clip-on thing like Bob Dylan uses. Sometimes he would play the slide guitar. He had a particular interest in rockabilly music."My mom didn't play anything, but she loved music. She got hooked on American Bandstand, so I would rush home from school, and we would watch American Bandstand."My sisters liked pop music and they played instruments. In fourth grade, I started playing clarinet. I played clarinet until eighth grade."I was playing big-band numbers in the school stage band. One of the saxophone players quit. The band director handed me a saxophone and some music and said to learn to play those parts for the next concert. In about two weeks, I learned to do that, and I've stayed with the sax ever since. Now my instrument is bass guitar."As a senior at Stonewall, I played in a band, the Tekes, with Mike Corey. I had to have a letter from my parents saying it was OK for me to play in clubs. Then I started getting together with Bobby Lanham and the Osborne boys. John played trumpet and Art played sax. Their dad had an orchestra. They invited me to sit in with them. We started working on vocals and decided to try some rock and roll stuff."We picked up a couple of guys from Charleston High. When we played in the next Jackson Jollities, we had put together some soul music and some Beatles songs. We called ourselves the Esquires. "We started playing fraternity parties and some country clubs and at the Owens Drive-In before the movies. Our pay was free refreshments."Several of us went away to school. I went to the University of Miami in Florida. I wanted to be a marine biologist, find a new food source and save the world from hunger."I was always interested in science and music and just about everything. I have a hard time not being interested in anything."I had the equivalent of their Merit Scholarship. But Miami was still very expensive. My dad had borrowed money. I saw it was a financial strain on my parents, so I transferred to WVU."After the first year, I got involved in a soul band here in Charleston called the Epics, again with Mike Corey. This was about 1965. I was coming in every weekend from Morgantown to play."From that band, two boys in school at Beckley transferred to Morgantown, and we found a guitar player and became the Glass Menagerie. We played a lot of underground music and a lot of covers and got a lot of work on fraternity row. "We went on the road in the summer of '68. Two of our people decided not to come back, so we went back to Morgantown, found two other people and became the Mind Garage."There was this campus minister, Michael Paine. He let us practice at his house. He wanted us to take rock and roll music into a church service. "We took the actual words from the liturgy and put it to music. We couldn't do this service on campus. They said it was a conflict between church and state. Some church finally let us do it. Michael got us into other churches. We played five or six masses in Morgantown."It's the first documented rock-and-roll church service that we could find through research."We played for the National Liturgical Conference in D.C. We went to New York and did a service at St. Mark's in the Bowery. ABC taped the whole service and showed it later on national TV on a show called Directions about experimental things going on in the church. We were very proud of that. We never charged for the liturgies."I heard 'Get Together' by the Youngbloods out in the Midwest. We used it as a warmup song in the liturgy. We were in the studio in New York during a recording session. An RCA executive walked by and said, 'We own that song.' They pulled out that song and re-released it, and it got into the Top 10. I don't think the Youngbloods ever knew anything about us."It was rough on us longhairs when we first got to Morgantown. We never considered ourselves hippies. We were musicians. We were living a kind of alternative lifestyle, but we were never drugged-out hippies."The campus was always pretty liberal, but the townspeople were very anti-that. There were conflicts. I was walking down the street one night, and two guys in suits stopped me. I said, 'Are you cops? Can I see an ID?' And they hit me. I dropped over the hill and got away."Another time, a guy drove up on the sidewalk and tried to hit me. It wasn't uncommon for people to throw things out the window at you."I saw a transition eventually. It culminated on the day they had the riots in front of the Mountainlair. This was right after Kent State. The campus kind of exploded. The tear gas came out. By the time I left, the longhair look we had was common."We were starting to get some national attention for club music. We had people coming from Pittsburgh to hear us play. The president of Chess Records came to see us. He said were great but that we didn't fit their label, which was blues."We published our own songs and had our own little label. We put out a regional single called 'Asphalt Mother.' In some circles, it's considered a psychedelic classic. It's very loud and stupid and simple. But we progressed into more sophisticated music and signed with RCA."We were having a good amount of success playing bigger venues. We did shows with Pete Seeger, Canned Heat, Sly and the Family Stone and a super show with Iron Butterfly. They really liked us."We decided to take a trip to California. We stayed a month. Our guitar player decided to stay. RCA was telling us to go into studio. So we went to Nashville and found a guitar player and cut our second album. It was Chet Atkins' studio, and he was there, and Jack got to play Floyd Cramer's piano."There were missed opportunities. Like the time our manager told us about a concert somewhere up in New York. He said we could perform there. He didn't know exactly where it was and said we wouldn't get paid. He didn't know who else would be there. So we turned it down and went on to Cleveland for the Dick Clark Teenage World's Fair and an appearance on the TV show Upbeat. And we did a concert with Joe South and the James Gang."We still had a chance to go to the New York thing, but we were just too shot by then. We heard what went on. It was Woodstock."Everybody has their chances. Sometimes a door opens and shuts back in your face before you get through it."One of our last performances was at the Fillmore East in New York. We were waiting for our equipment. The guys hauling it stopped the truck in front of the Fillmore and came in to tell us they were there. The cops towed the truck off, so we had to go on without our own equipment."We were stripped down to being piano, drums and bass, just a little trio with a singer. But we got a good reception. The Village Voice did a nice article about the liturgy."Things kind of fell apart after we went to California. RCA didn't renew our contract. I finally came back to Charleston. I played with the Overnight Gang in '72 and '73. In '73, I got married and got a real job with the state Health Department in the hygienic lab."They extended the plant where my dad worked, and I got hired as a lab tech and moved up to quality control manager. I worked there 31 years until they did away with my job. I started doing consulting work in chemicals, and I still do that when they need me."I've got three little ensembles I play with, one with Jay Michael Mollohan. He plays guitar, and I play bass, and we do old songs and some originals."I don't think I would change very much. I had my chances. I've had a great time. I got very close. I rubbed elbows with some hall-of-famers. The stuff we did in the church was rewarding and revolutionary."I'd still like to do something musically significant."Reach Sandy Wells at email@example.com or 304-348-5173.

A major franchise has recruited interior designer and The Block judge Darren Palmer to lend his expertise to its media and engagement strategy.
LJ Hooker's upcoming spring campaign will incorporate television, online and print advertising, as well as a suite of local area marketing tools for its offices to utilise.
Its previous campaign increased year-on-year sale appraisal figures by 58 per cent, according to the network.
LJ Hooker CEO Grant Harrod said the campaign will hit TV screens with a new television commercial starring Mr Palmer.
The network is also including two DVDs starring Mr Palmer as part of its new strategy, titled 'Styling to sell', or 'Styling to stay'.
"Through the cycle of ownership, people are generally interested in one of two things: how to present their home or investment for a premium sale, or how to improve it for lifestyle and aesthetics,'' said Mr Harrod.
"The DVDs complement the market knowledge agents provide during their appraisals, providing an all-inclusive experience for consumers to best improve the worth and functionality of their properties.''
The launch of the campaign will coincide with the newest season of The Block returning to Channel Nine.

Mobil Introduces New Travel Guide
Book details undercover restaurant inspections.
CHICAGO -- Mobil Travel Guide's new four-city "Where to Eat" series includes descriptions of Mobil Star-rated restaurants -- the result of undercover inspections covering the full range of dining experience.
Over a 12-month period, both undercover and announced inspectors traveled from city to city, using objective, quantifiable standards created to mirror the average diners' needs and expectations. All of the undercover inspections were done independently, without the knowledge of the restaurant.
For low-key dining, each book also covers street bites such as hot dog stands, pizza parlors and food markets in the given areas. The series also provides additional information on each city and its surrounding suburbs, with descriptions of neighborhoods, information about special food-related attractions, lists of 50 spots to have a drink and budget-friendly restaurants. Each book also includes corresponding maps.

Walkthrough part 29
|Data Networking Terminal
Step off the tram and stock up. There's plenty of ammo, health and armor to fill you up good. When you're stocked up, step into the elevator and ride it up.
As you enter the next room, you'll witness Raven Squad finishing off a pack of strogg. After a moment, portals in the room will activate and unleash a swarm of strogg. Destroy the portals first, then help Raven Squad finish killing the enemies.
In the next room is a control panel that'll call another elevator. As the lift comes down, lob grenades onto the platform to take out the strogg gunner that's coming with it. Four portals will then open up in the four corners of the room. Quickly run to destroy them and kill the enemies that spawn from them.
Step onto the elevator and ride up with the crew. There are a lot of strogg up top, including one strogg tank. As you ride up, shoot grenades or rockets off the left side of the elevator (upwards) to damage the tank before he sees you. There are also two portals that are warping in dummy strogg. Charge them with your Shotgun to knock them out of commission.
Move into the next room and tacticals will come from the portals to your right. Drop them with zoomed fire and move in to knock out the portals. If you're not quick, a strogg gunner will also appear in the room. Try to keep your medic and tech safe so you can continue to use them. If needed, you can find an armor suit in this room before moving onto the next.
You need a gameplan before stepping into the next room. As soon as you enter, a berserker charges at you from the right. Quickly drop it with Nailgun or Hyperblaster fire, then turn right and knock out the portal and any enemies it may have spawned. There's a second portal on the other side of the glass walls. Quickly charge around with your Shotgun to destroy the portals and drop the tacticals that have already come from it (one point-blast Shotgun blast kills them). Once that's destroyed, switch to your Rocket Launcher and kill the strogg commander that's come from the door behind you. If you play your cards right, you can get through this with your squad intact.
Let the tech and medic make any repairs necessary and follow them into the next room. Just through another door is a teleporter that'll warp you to another mission.

text: PHOENIX - Unregistered May 24, 2012 6:55 PM I really hope the guys at Ducati have found something at this test. They seem a lot more unified now with Filippo finally implementing the changes needed to get closer to the front. Even JB was at the test which seems like a positive move. After all the cr@p that has been thrown Vale's way, I'd love to see a Ducati that is good enough for him to win races on. One more WC would be better again. Fingers crossed... 61 agree 4 disagree

VIKINGS MIDDLE LINEBACKERS – Audie Cole, Jasper Brinkley, Michael Mauti.
TEAM NEED – The Vikings have used late-round picks the last several years to address the need at MLB. But in 2012, the Vikings gave both Erin Henderson and Desmond Bishop – neither of whom is still on the Vikings roster – a shot at being the starter. The team is high on Cole and Mauti, but the decision to bring back Brinkley speaks to the need at the position.
POSITION OVERVIEW: A relatively weak draft class, the only inside linebacker who figures to be a first-round pick is C.J. Mosley. There is talent in the middle to late rounds, but there aren't a lot of players who will be "must have" types on most draft boards and there may be a handful or less inside linebackers off the board by the time Day 3 of the draft starts.
C.J. Mosley, Alabama, 6-2, 234 – Fourth-year senior who became a starter midway through his sophomore season…In his final two season, he had 215 tackles, 17 tackles for a loss, four sacks, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery…Suffered a dislocated elbow in 2011 and dislocated his hip in the BSC Championship Game…Had right shoulder surgery after the 2012 season…First-team All-America in 2013 and won the Butkus Award, given annually to college football's top LB…Has long arms and big hands and uses them effectively to dominate blockers…Plays with a mean streak, but plays under control…Chases plays to the sideline and consistently stands out on tape…Has excellent read-and-react skills and works his way to the ball consistently…His injury history has to be a concern because he plays with a style that will lend itself to further injury…Is shorter and lighter than prototypical NFL inside linebackers and may struggle to make the adjustment to the next level…Gives up ground when blockers get their hands on him…Is always looking for the "kill shot" and will lose his basic fundamentals in the process…Didn't lift at the NFL Scouting Combine by choice due to a right shoulder injury, but ran a sparkling 4.40 40 with a 35-inch vertical jump and a 9-10 broad jump. PROJECTION: Head and shoulders the best ILB/MLB prospect in the class, he has the potential to be a top 10 pick. But, his injury history and lack of playing consistently under control will likely drop him into the second half of the first round or somewhere near the middle. But, that being said, in the right system, he could a Pro Bowl player for years to come.
Chris Borland, Wisconsin, 5-11½, 248 – Sixth-year senior who was a redshirt in 2008 and granted a medical hardship redshirt two games into the 2010 season after injuring his left shoulder…Started all 38 games he played in his final three seasons, recording 358 tackles, 37.5 tackles for a loss, 11 sacks and 10 forced fumbles…A big thumper in the run game whose production is obvious and consistently blows up plays…Has an old-school football mentality and plays with a mean streak…Has very good read-and-react skills and has good lateral movement skills to slide down the line to get angles on sweeps…Has a good closing burst and is willing to chase plays to the sideline…Is much too short by NFL standards and has very short arms (less than 29 inches)…Is not an elite athlete, but makes up for his lack of athleticism with tenacity and grit…Is typically stymied when blockers latch on and steer him away from the hole…Has a tendency to over-pursue and doesn't have the change-of-direction skills to make up for his mistakes…Ran a 4.83 40 at the Combine with 27 reps of 225 pounds, a 31-inch vertical jump and a 9-6 broad jump. PROJECTION: Like Zach Thomas, he's an undersized linebacker who fights like a bulldog. His lack of athleticism will drop him out of the first round, but his tenacity, field smarts and work ethic will have him come off the board somewhere in the second round.
Shayne Skov, Stanford, 6-2¼, 245 – Fifth-year senior…Became a starter as a true freshman, but was granted a medical redshirt in 2011 season after tearing his left ACL in the fourth game…Started 49 of 55 career games, finishing with 355 tackles, 40.5 tackles for a loss, 16 sacks and five forced fumbles…A team captain…Arrested for DUI in February 2012…A tireless worker who is a natural team leader on the practice field, in the weight room and in film study…Has excellent read-and-react skills…Is a big hitter in run defense and consistently delivers the big shot and wraps up tackles…Plays to the whistle and never gives up on a play…Has good size and a frame that can add more muscle and bulk strength…Given has lack of straight-line speed, may be limited only to teams that run a 3-4 defense…Will play a little out of control at times and doesn't have the change of direction or recovery speed to make up for it…Doesn't have ideal closing speed and quick backs will run away from him…Doesn't have natural coverage skills to take on backs and tight ends deep in coverage…Did not work out at the Combine because of a medical exclusion for a left calf injury, but chose not to lift. PROJECTION: A classic two-down run linebacker, his limitations in space will likely narrow the field of suitors down to primarily 4-3 defensive teams. However, he is a glass-eater type who will give you everything he has, which may be enough to get him into the second round or early third-round range.
Preston Brown, Louisville, 6-1¼, 251 – Fourth-year senior…Three-year starter who had 291 tackles, 20.5 tackles for a loss, six sacks, three forced fumbles and one interception in that span…Has very good measurable qualities – arm length, big hands, thick frame, etc….A durable athlete who started 37 of 52 games without ever missing a game…Reads plays as they develop and processes information quickly and attacks…Can take on blockers and keep his eyes on the prize and shed them at the right moment to make a play…Doesn't have great speed and can be a liability at times in coverage…Has very little burst of the snap and needs to build up speed, which hurt his blitz production…Gets tripped up too often moving laterally and needs to protect his legs better…Doesn't have fluid hips and loses a step when asked to flip and chase receivers down the field…Ran a slow 4.86 40 at the Combine with 23 reps of 225 pounds, a 33-inch vertical jump and a 9-8 broad jump. PROJECTION: A durable, veteran player from a good program, his athletic limitations will make him fall deep (if not out of) Day 2. He will give a team an honest day's work, but his limitations seem to exceed his strengths.
Yawin Smallwood, U-Conn, 6-2¼, 246 – Fourth-year junior…Started all 36 games of his college career…In his final two seasons, he had 238 tackles, 24.5 tackles for a loss, eight sacks, four forced fumble and one interception…Team captain…All-Big East in 2012 and team Defensive Player of the Year in 2013…Has a good combination of size, length and speed…Quickly diagnoses plays and rarely finds himself out of position by his own doing…Does a solid job in coverage…Uses his long arms and fluid movement skills to keep blockers from getting to his legs and cutting him down…Doesn't have great foot speed and didn't help his case by running a 5.01 40 at the Combine, pulling up with a hamstring injury, and not running at his Pro Day…Doesn't have ideal bulk or muscle development for a typical NFL inside linebacker…Doesn't have a closing burst to chase down running backs or quarterbacks…Isn't a force in goal-line and short-yardage situations…Ran a 5.01 40 at the Combine (he didn't run a second time after pulling up with a hamstring injury), did 18 reps, had a 36½-inch vertical jump and a 9-0 broad jump. PROJECTION: An intriguing prospect, his lack of top-end speed and physicality may hurt his draft stock, but he will be a player teams will be looking at in the third or fourth round.
Max Bullough, Michigan State, 6-3½, 249 – Fourth-senior…Started all 40 games his final three seasons, registering 276 tackles, 29 tackles for a loss, 7.5 sacks, two interceptions and four forced fumbles in that span…Two-time team captain…His grandfather Hank and father Shane both played for the Spartans…Arrested in 2011 with a teammate in an Aspen, Colo., bar fight and was suspended from MSU's Rose Bowl game for violating team rules…A durable player who has the prototype size and weight for the NFL, but dropped 16 pounds from the East-West Shrine Game to the Combine in a little more than a month…Consistently blows up running plays due to very good read-and-react skills…A secure tackler who wraps up and rarely lets a ball carrier get away when he gets his hands on them…Has difficulty shedding blockers once they get locked on…Needs to work on his tackling technique because he will occasionally play out of control…Doesn't have great acceleration or closing speed and will end up chasing plays for too long…Ran a 4.78 40 at the Combine with an impressive 30 reps of 225 pounds, a 31-inch vertical jump and a 9-4 broad jump. PROJECTION: A solid player from a good program, he has the skills to be a situational linebacker who could end up being a starter. But his physical limitations will likely drop him into the last day of the draft, where he could be a sleeper value pick.
Avery Williamson, Kentucky, 6-1, 246 – Fourth-year senior…Two-year starter who had 237 tackles, 8.5 tackles for a loss and four sacks in that span…Team captain…A productive inside player who has a natural nose for the ball and finishes plays…Played his best against the best competition and seemed to raise his game to a second level…Has good technique and works his way through traffic nicely to get to the ball…Is not a take-on tackler and finesse doesn't always work in the NFL…When offensive linemen get their hands on him, he tends to stay blocked…Needs to add core strength to be more intimidating than he is, especially considering he didn't play elite competition on a regular basis…Ran a 4.66 40 at the Combine with 25 reps, a 30½-inch vertical jump and a 10-0 broad jump. PROJECTION: A finesse player from a weak conference, his production numbers will get the attention of NFL decision-makers, but his lack of a killer instinct will drop him into the final day of the draft.
Andrew Jackson, Western Kentucky, 6-1, 254 – Fourth-year senior…Three-year starter who had 327 tackles, 42 tackles for a loss, 6.5 sacks and five forced fumbles in that span…Had some off-field issues from high school through college that led to multiple short-term suspensions…Has excellent burst off the snap and shoots gaps effectively…Has a jarring hand punch to keep defenders away from his body…Has good balance and body control to sift through the garbage to get to the ball…Off-field issues and work ethic questions will turn off some teams…Tries to run around blockers rather than take them on too often…Can be a liability in one-on-one matchups down the field…Chose not to work out at the Combine despite not having a significant injury that was noted – he was given a general exclusion. PROJECTION: A productive player from a mid-level program, there are a lot of players like him that have been drafted over the years. A work in progress, he will likely be drafted in the later rounds with the chance to earn a roster spot as a special teamer with the chance to earn a starting job sooner than later. But he will need to be in the right system to succeed.
Jordan Zumwalt, UCLA, 6-4, 235 – Fourth-year senior who didn't become a full-time starter until his senior season…In his final two-years, he had 161 tackles, 13.5 tackles for a loss, two sacks, two interceptions and three forced fumbles…Has a solid combination of height, strength and speed…Is a strong worker who was a team leader both on and off the field…Has a motor that always runs hot and plays to the whistle…Doesn't have ideal bulk or muscle mass and doesn't have the type of frame that can add 20 pounds for the next level…Doesn't have good change of direction skills and has difficulty making up for a misstep…Gets too high on tackle attempts and too often will slide off potential tackles he should make…Didn't lift at the Combine due to a left A/C joint injury, but ran a 4.76 40 with a 33-inch vertical jump and a 9-8 broad jump. PROJECTION: A solid player from a big-time program, he has the skills to make an NFL roster, but the speed of his game is half a step slower than top prospects, which will drop him into Day 3.

BOONTON - Aside from a Democrat on the ballot in the Third Ward against Republican Robert Looker due to a write-in in the Primary, the incumbents on the ballot on Tuesday, Nov. 6, on the all-Republican Board of Aldermen were unopposed and all Republicans won.
Looker easily held off a challenge from Marie Cote posting 236 votes to 138 for the Democrat in his bid for a sixth two-year term.
Topping the ballot was Mayor Edward Bolcar Jr., who received 1,404 votes townwide.

Has anyone heard of oil pulling?
I don't know... I'm sort of a skeptic when it comes to things like this and the new fad... it's one of those things, that "some people reported"... How about people just brush their teeth? listerine? Crest white strips? And I don't think I have that many toxins that need to be drawn out... Hey.. whatever works for you and make you feel better I'm always going to be an advocate of that... BUT.. this seems... hmmm.. reaching.. like the homemade face lift... and the lady that wrote the article.. she gets up to feed her cat, then gets back into bed to cuddle, then swishes for 20 minutes... She's clearly not a mom... I can't sit down for more than 20 minute much less swish anything... lol...
I have heard of it and tried it but not for an extended length of time.

Harvey Weinstein is at it again. In 2004, as the head of Miramax Films and a supporter of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, Mr. Weinstein masterminded the release of Michael Moore's incendiary anti-George W. Bush documentary Fahrenheit 9/11, sending it to the top of box office and fuelling an angry national debate about the country's military misadventures.
This time around, Mr. Weinstein – backing Obama as he did in 2008 – is shepherding a very different kind of movie about the military onto the national stage, and hoping it will result in a better outcome for his chosen candidate. In May, he paid an estimated $2.5-million for the rights to 'SEAL Team Six,' a TV drama that takes viewers into the mission to kill Osama bin Laden. The film will air Nov. 4, two days before the election, on the National Geographic Channel in the U.S.
The timing has prompted Republicans and other critics of President Barack Obama to complain the film is a 90-minute primetime commercial for Obama. That notion was reinforced after the New York Times reported Thursday that the most recent edit of the film increases the on-air screen time of the President, who appears in archival footage, and that Mr. Weinstein was personally involved in the latest edit. (The latter would not be unusual: Mr. Weinstein is a notorious meddler on most of the films he releases.)
But the Times also suggested the film could become a hot potato similar to the YouTube short 'The Innocence of Muslims,' which was widely reported to be a factor in the attacks last month on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed four Americans. "Nothing in 'SEAL Team Six' recalls the anti-Muslim tones of that film," caution Times reporters Michael Cieply and Brian Stelter. "But the new film's portrayals of the jeopardy to Muslim children during the assault on Bin Laden's compound, and its graphic references to – but not portrayals of – torture in the war on terror may step toward the risk zone."
The film's director John Stockwell told Politico that was nonsense. He said the Times's story, "took us all by surprise – as we went to great lengths to highlight the care and the control that the SEALs showed during the chaos of the raid – not to harm any women and children."
Conservative media outlets, though, ran with the story, evidently playing directly into the PR hands of Mr. Weinstein, who boasts a long track record of leveraging controversy to sell a film. But even if 'SEAL Team Six' buffs up Mr. Obama's credentials as a commander-in-chief less than 48 hours before Americans go to the polls, it will not be an uninterrupted commercial. OPSEC, an anti-Obama organization which calls itself a group of former Intelligence officers and Special Operations officers who are concerned about national security leaks, will be buying spots during the movie's ad time in key states, including Florida, Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina, Nevada, and Virginia.Report Typo/Error
