Vending machines can be a profitable way to start a business. The key is knowing which type of vending machine is right for you. Some people prefer bulk machines that dispense a handful of nuts or candy. Others prefer mechanical or electronic snack or soda machines. There are certain pros and cons of buying a vending machine business, no matter what machines you buy. For example, electronic machines are profitable but they break down frequently.
The success of your vending machine business is highly contingent upon your locations. There will be lots of competition for the best locations, which is one disadvantage of buying a vending machine business. However, there are plenty of businesses within a 15- or- 20-mile radius to locate your machines. Also, businesses and office complexes open every day. Thus, you can still locate your machines in car dealerships, auto parts outlets and tattoo parlors. The major of advantage of a vending machine business is that you can make money without being present at the locations.
Types of Products
Another advantage of buying a vending business is that you can ask owners and customers what snacks and drinks they like. For example, auto repair people may like to buy chips for their lunch each day. Contrarily, people and customers at a car dealership may prefer candy. A disadvantage of satisfying everyone's request is that you will need to keep track of people's preferences. It can be hard to coordinate a daily route with a variety of requests. Consequently, you will need to carry a larger variety of product with you.
Vending machines business are a simple business to operate. Anyone with self-motivation and drive can operate a vending machine business. The owner just needs to remove money from the coin slot and keep the products stocked regularly. However, vending machine owners spend lots of time walking around and carrying products. Soda cases can get heavy during the course of a day, despite using a two-wheeler. Therefore, one disadvantage of owning a vending route is that you will need to be in good physical shape or the job may be too much. The physical demands of the job can also be an advantage for those who like exercise. You can burn calories as you work.
Another advantage of owning vending machines is that you can meet people as you work, according to the website A Touch Of Business. You can also fit your route into your schedule. For example, you can work late morning and early afternoon if you want to avoid rush hour. A disadvantage to buying a vending machine business is that some machines are highly prone to theft. For example, unscrupulous people can use coat hangers to reach inside mechanical snack machines. Thieves can also create slugs or fake coins when using mechanical machines. Owners and managers cannot watch the machines all the time to monitor potential theft.
An advantage of buying a vending machine business is that you can start making money right away. Most businesses take several years to turn a profit. The downside to the vending business is that it may take you years to earn a full-time income. Machines can be expensive. Some of the larger electronic units cost $3,000 to $5,000. Therefore, you will need a lot of money to expand your vending route. Bulk machines usually cost $150 to $200, but you will likely need hundreds of them to earn $2,000 or $3,000 per month.

No Barron, Watson for Bucs vs. Saints
NEW ORLEANS -- The Bucs will play today without two key defensive starters, as safety Mark Barron (hamstring) and linebacker Dekoda Watson (groin) are inactive for the game, with Keith Tandy and Adam Hayward stepping in as starters.
It's Tandy's fifth start of the season, having started three times in place of Dashon Goldson and last week for Barron. Hayward, the Bucs' special-teams captain, will have a busy day with only four linebackers active for Tampa Bay. Those four include Danny Lansanah, who is active and in position to collect his first NFL tackle since his rookie year in 2008.
Other inactives for the Bucs: guard Carl Nicks, who has been injured since October; fullback Lonnie Pryor, defensive linemen Scott Solomon and Matthew Masifilo.

updated | Intentionally or not, Microsoft's making life a bit difficult, and stressful, for third-party security software vendors.
Addressing concerns from companies such as McAfee and Symantec who assert that 64-bit Vista won't support their security wares, the Big Redmondian Machine today said that it would make necessary changes to the OS -- eventually, according to reports.
The non-committal timetable can't be too heartening to the desktop-security industry as Vista's release date draws ever closer.
In fact, McAfee today released the following statement: "Despite pledges, press conference and speeches by Microsoft, the community of independent security companies that consumers rely on for computer protection has seen little indication that Microsoft intends to live up to the promises it made last week," said Christopher Thomas, a partner at Lovells which is presently serving as McAfee's outside litigation counsel in Brussels.
"We have been greatly disappointed by the lack of action by the company so far and Microsoft has not lived up, either in detail or in spirit, to the hollow assurances offered by their top management last week," Thomas said.
The statement came out the same day Microsoft attempted to host an online briefing for security ISVs, the purpose of which was to respond to complaints from Symantec and McAfee about 64-bit Vista's protective PatchGuard kernel that keeps the OS from playing nicely with third-party malware-fighting arsenals. But some vendors who attempted to participate were inadvertently locked out, according to BetaNews -- including the aforementioned Symantec and McAfee. Microsoft took responsibility for the glitch, though, and the meeting was rescheduled.
Notably, Microsoft has handed over API code to security vendors, which would allow them to disable the Security Center management console that will ship with Vista. But that doesn't address the problems with PatchGuard.
"Although PatchGuard is not used by Vista when it is running in 32-bit mode, it will lock many types of software, including Symantec's, out of the kernel on 64-bit versions of the operating system. The security vendors wanted Microsoft to give them some way to access the 64-bit kernel, saying that this high-level access was required in order to activate critical security features," IDG News Service writes.
This turn of events is at least scoff-worthy to the average tech cynic and great fodder for a conspiracy theorist. What if Microsoft was intentionally dragging its feet here so as to give itself an advantage by forcing its suite to be the desktop security tool of "choice" for its own operating system? That would certainly negatively impact the bottom lines of third-party vendors. Not that Microsoft would engage in arguably monopolistic behavior, of course. What's with these conspiracy theorists? Still, Microsoft could see an advantage in all this.
Then again, these events may very well give organizations further reason to delay Vista deployment. Yes, Microsoft has made a number of grandiose promises about Vista's enhanced security, but given the company's shoddy security track record, some shops may want to put Vista on hold until they can install anti-malware offerings from a more trusted vendor.
And speaking of Microsoft security, a vulnerability has already been found in Internet Explorer 7, which was released yesterday.
I'm just sayin'.
What do you think? Is Microsoft playing fairly? Will you deploy Vista before the company fixes PatchGuard to work well with third-party security tools?

Employment growth slows down in 2008 mainly among expatriates
Employment growth slows down in 2008 mainly among expatriates… Kuwaiti employment share up in private sector… Kuwaiti women participation up …
In its latest economic brief, National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) noted the continued strong growth in employment of Kuwaiti nationals in the private sector during 2008 at a double digit rate. The 16% increase was similar to the 2007 rate but lower than the average for the previous five years. Nonetheless, the number of entrants to the private sector exceeded entrants into the public sector, according to the latest data from the Public Authority for Civil Information.
Today the private sector employs 17.8% of the Kuwaiti labor force, almost three times the share in 2000, when a national labor support law was introduced. The law called for the government to provide Kuwaitis working in the private sector with the same benefits available to their counterparts in the public sector. It also imposed minimum quotas on the share of nationals in the workforce employed by private institutions. In 2008, a new law was passed requiring higher quotas for the employment of nationals beginning in 2009. Quotas differ for various sectors.
In contrast, employment of nationals in the public sector grew 2.9%, its slowest rate in over a decade. As a result, growth in the total number of employed Kuwaitis slowed to 5.0%, though the labor participation rate improved by half a percentage point relative to 2007, more notably among females.
There are signs that the participation of women among Kuwaitis has been on the rise. In the public sector the proportion of women has risen from 35% in 1998 to 43% in 2008. While the gain in this sector has been gradual, the private sector has seen a far more dramatic shift in women participation. The proportion of women employees in the private sector has risen from 27% to 47% in the span of ten years, with most of the gains taking place in the last five years.
While employment figures for Kuwaitis do not reflect the general slowdown in economic activity seen in 2008, mainly due to the structure of the labor force and stability in public sector employment, the drop in the expatriate labor force does. Still, the drop was mostly limited to 'domestic workers' (household maids and drivers) at over 43,000 jobs and was a reflection of the government's push to deal with illegal residents who have violated the terms of their residency and work permits.
Another notable change in 2008 was a notable slowdown in employment growth of expatriates in the private sector, where they are predominantly employed. Despite the relatively few expatriates in the public sector, hiring has seen a notable rise in recent years. In 2008, public sector employment among non-Kuwaitis rose by over 8,000, accounting for a fifth of total new jobs in the economy if the domestic sector is excluded.
Overall, the total labor force in Kuwait was flat in 2008 at 2.05 million, registering a small 0.2% decrease. While outside the domestic sector growth remained positive at 2.6%, it was still the slowest growth in eight years.
The services industry employs more than two thirds of the labor force, most of it in the community, social and personal services (includes government). The wholesale and retail trade and restaurants sector is also a major employer, with over 15% of the country's workforce.
A breakdown of the top ten largest professions shows that most new jobs for Kuwaiti nationals were among clerks and secretaries, accounting for 88% of the net gain. This segment represents over a third of all jobs held by Kuwaitis. The occupational group to see most gains was 'engineers', capturing 10.7% of the net gain.
In more general terms, Kuwait's population mirrored the slowdown seen in employment, with growth slowing to 1.2% from an average of 7% over the previous five years. While the growth in the population of Kuwaiti nationals remained relatively stable, the expatriate population grew by a mere 0.4%, the slowest rate in eight years. The total population of the country stood at 3.44 million at the end of 2008. Nearly 1.1 million or 31.6% are Kuwaiti nationals with the remaining 2.34 million being expatriates.
Among non-Kuwaitis, the population figures reveal sharp drops within the younger age groups, especially among men aged 20-30. This group alone witnessed a 33,000 net decrease.
Meanwhile, most other age groups among expatriates continued to see positive growth, though there was a marked slowdown from prior years. Overall, the number of working age expatriates in Kuwait declined by 4,800 during 2008. This compares with average increases exceeding 148,000 a year during the last five years.
Among Kuwaitis, population figures are far more stable due to the absence of the element of migration. In 2008, the increase in working age Kuwaitis exceeded 22,000 for the first time ever. This figure has risen from around 15,000 ten years ago and represents the minimum number of jobs that must be created for nationals every year. In the past five years, the Kuwaiti economy created an average 87,000 new jobs a year, excluding domestic workers' jobs. Most of those were of course in the private sector. So clearly, there is no problem of job creation but rather one of matching the skills and education of the labor force to the economy's work requirements. This should be the focus of future labor policies and reforms.

Bruno Santos (12-0 MMA, 0-0 BFC), an undefeated Brazilian prospect, has verbally agreed to a contract with Bellator Fighting Championships. MMAJunkie.com was the first to report that Santos and Bellator brass have agreed to terms and a contract is expected to be finalized shortly.
A date and opponent for Santos' debut has yet to be announced.
A youngster at only 24-years-old, the Ze Mario Team fighter has impressively stayed undefeated in his first 12 professional contests.
Santos earned stoppage wins in three of his first four outings but his past eight victories have all come via decision. Santos is known as a ground-and-pound stylist despite his lack of a formal wrestling background. His stamina is also a huge part of his success as he has fought a few different times through 25-minutes bouts and once through a 35-minute fight.
Santos has been fighting at middleweight through his first twelve fights, but at only 5'9 he may eventually consider a drop to welterweight in the future. Stay posted to BJPenn.com for more updates and rumors regarding Santos' debut and more Bellator news.

Melbourne United is expected to announce the signing of Australian forward-centre Daniel Kickert and import point guard Stephen Dennis this week.
The 31-year-old, 206-centimetre Victorian Kickert has plied his trade in Europe since he was one of the first Australian players to graduate from US college St Mary's in 2006.
United is also close to locking down a major sponsorship and has secured a partnership with Basketball Victoria to develop players and coaches and introduce them to elite basketball.
Kickert has played in teams in Italy, Spain, Poland and more recently in Ukraine before the internal fighting in the country forced his team to release him when it couldn't guarantee his safety.
United, formerly known as Melbourne Tigers, has long targeted Kickert because of his versatility as a big man who can shoot from outside and score in the low post.
Kickert, who represented Australia at the 2006 world championships and was one of the last players cut for the 2012 London Olympics, would start at centre for United joining past Boomers Mark Worthington and David Barlow on a vastly experienced roster.
United is hopeful Kickert may be able to take part in its first practice match against Adelaide 36ers in Ballarat this Friday at 7pm but his appearance will depend on paperwork between the club and the NBL being filed on time.
The club is also expected to soon confirm Dennis' signing. He has been training with the club for several weeks and was brought back to Melbourne after he tore his Achilles tendon on the eve of last season.
United has Kickert, Dennis, Barlow, Worthington, Nate Tomlinson, Lucas Walker, Daryl Corletto, Auryn Macmillan and Owen Odigie on its roster with its second import still to be added.
Coach Chris Anstey is believed to have put out feelers out to several players, all of whom are high-volume scorers who can play either as shooting guards or small forwards.
Sydney Kings also caused a splash in NBL circles on Tuesday when they signed former NBA guard Josh Childress as their second import.
The former NBA journeyman, best known for his time with the Atlanta Hawks, is believed to be keen to come to Australia and reboot his career after floating between teams for several seasons.

SKOL! Here's to a group of my very expert and accomplished Adobe colleagues who launched the 1.0 of the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) today.
For an explanation by me of what this thing is, please watch the embedded video below of me yakkin' from Beet.TV (this is the15-pounds-heavier version of me back in November '09, during the rainy SF winter when my main form of exercise — biking to work — does not happen).
Basically, OSMF makes it very easy for you to build complex Video Players for your Website. All the hard work is already done for you. There are already projects like OSMF App Studio which offer ways to create your own players with "drag and drop ease."
If you are a web designer or developer whose customers want/need Online Video, this could be very meaningful to you.

Pressure-Based Level Measurements Keep Getting Better and Better
While Radar and Ultrasonics Are Getting Most of the Attention, Automation Vendors Are Quietly Improving Their Pressure-Based Level Measurement Instrumentation
Due to the number of variables involved―including the physical characteristics of the fill fluid, capillary length and diameter, and the mechanical design of the diaphragm seal system itself―Emerson offers a software tool that simplifies the design of a fully compensated, or "tuned" DP seal system. This toolkit provides the capability to calculate numerous potential compensated seal systems for any given application condition quickly and easily.
"Electronic" remote seals
For specialized applications or in situations where the installation or maintenance of hydraulic systems may be an issue, both Emerson and Endress+Hauser are promoting a pressure-based level measurement approach that replaces a DP transmitter and its associated wet legs, dry legs or long capillaries with separate pressure transmitters that are made into a multivariable system using fieldbus communications. Emerson calls this approach, "electronic remote seals," since it replaces the conventional hydraulic systems with digital communications.
According to Emerson's Graupmann, "Electronic remote seals can improve measurement performance by eliminating dry/wet legs or capillaries. Dry/wet leg installations can introduce measurement uncertainty if there is any variation in these references caused by condensation in a dry leg or evaporation in a wet leg. Both lead to a shift in the DP zero reference. Capillary systems have head temperature effects caused by the change in density of the column of fill fluid in the capillary. This column is eliminated in an electronic remote seal system where the sensors are direct-mounted to the vessel fittings. Capillary systems also have seal temperature effects related to the fill-fluid volume change. These temperature effects are minimized by direct-mount seal systems."
Graupman continues, "Electronic remote seals can also help reduce maintenance costs. Keeping the wet/dry leg reference stable is key to measurement performance. This typically requires extensive maintenance. Periodic draining or filling of legs, insulation and heat tracing maintenance costs can all be minimized by eliminating the wet/dry leg installation practice.
"Installed cost is a little more difficult to compare as you need to compare the instrumentation cost of the different installation approaches. The electronic remote seal system has two pressure sensors, so it will more expensive than a DP transmitter with two capillaries most of the time. But to be fair, you also need to consider the other installation costs like heat tracing that might be required for a particular transmitter installation."
The Ziemann Group is the world's largest manufacturer and supplier of beer brewing plants. At the company's pilot brewing plant in Ludwigsburg, Germany, liquid level in the closed vessels of the fermentation and storage tanks is monitored using two Siemens' digital pressure transmitters equipped with stainless steel housings and sanitary flush mounted diaphragms. One pressure transmitter, mounted at the bottom of the vessel, measures the hydrostatic pressure plus the superposed overpressure. The second pressure transmitter, mounted toward the top of the vessel, determines the pressure above the liquid level. The liquid level then is calculated in the control system using both measured values.
However, in the pilot plant's open brewing vessels, a single Siemens pressure transmitter is used to measure the hydrostatic pressure of the liquid column at the bottom of the vessel to determine the liquid level.
With a measuring range up to 150 °C, these Siemens pressure transmitters are well-suited to sterilization-in-place, without showing any drift effects.
Multivariable level transmitters
Multivariable transmitters offer yet another approach to obtaining highly accurate pressure-based level measurements in either open or closed vessels.
Bristol Babcock introduced the first multivariable in 1992. Since that time, Emerson (Rosemount), Honeywell, ABB, Invensys (Foxboro), and Yokogawa have entered the multivariable market. Multivariable transmitters measure more than one process variable, typically pressure, differential pressure and temperature and can use these measurements to calculate fluid flow, mass flow, density or level.
According to Flow Research's Yoder, "Much of the growth in the pressure transmitter market is due to growth in the multivariable transmitter market. The market for multivariable DP transmitters for flow has more than doubled in recent years."
Foxboro introduced the first dedicated multivariable level transmitter in 2004. This transmitter uses pressure, differential pressure and temperature measurements, plus on-board physical property tables, to compensate for density changes in the tank liquid and vapor and density changes in both vapor or liquid in external dry or wet legs. According to the company, this makes the transmitter ideally suited for critical applications, such as boiler drum level and for other high-performance applications where fluid densities are significantly affected by variations in pressure and temperature.
"For these types of applications, the conventional pressure-based level measurement approach was to install three separate transmitters―gauge pressure, differential pressure and temperature―and run these wires back to the control system where the level calculations were made," said Pat Cupo, pressure and temperature product manager at Invensys Process Systems. "Now, a single Foxboro multivariable level transmitter can handle all three measurements, compensate for density changes and make the level measurement calculation right in the transmitter. We believe that these result in better level measurements, reduce installation and wiring costs, and reduce the bandwidth load on the control system. What's more, some level applications, boiler-drum level, for example, are not all science and still require quite a bit of art to properly locate and configure the instruments. With multivariable transmitters, there's only one instrument to deal with, rather than three. This helps to keep things a lot simpler."
Cupo continues, "That said, many end users tend to treat multivariable transmitters as ordinary DP transmitters, and that's clearly not the case. For example, if you relocate the transmitter, it's important to update the transmitter's database so that it can make the appropriate compensations. Safety is another consideration, particularly with high-pressure, high-temperature boiler-drum level measurements where the wet reference leg can go dry due to steam boil-off. This would result in incorrect drum-level measurements that can cause bad things to happen. We're working to eliminate this type of problem through improved documentation and configuration procedures. This is critical, since we're finding that as 'old school' maintenance technicians retire, their knowledge and experience often retires with them. This is a huge issue, particularly since the new generation of maintenance technicians are often more familiar with information technology than with instrumentation technology."
However, despite the obvious advantages, multivariable transmitters have not yet achieved the market acceptance for level measurement applications as they have for flow measurement applications.
According to Emerson's Graupmann, "Multivariable transmitters continue to be associated mainly with flow measurements, and to date, have gained only limited acceptance for level measurements. Multivariable transmitters are used when pressure and temperature level compensation is required. Multivariable transmitters can save on installation costs by combining three transmitters into one. Acceptance levels depend on a user's willingness to adopt new installation practices based on resulting operating or maintenance improvements."
The continuous investments being made in DP level measurement technology by automation vendors, combined with the widespread acceptance across the user community, mean that pressure-based level measurements will remain a viable approach well into the future.

it valuable information that easy to understand and help for calibration of the level measurement instrumentations.

Generally, this is a good summary article, but it fails to include Hydrostatic Tank Gauging, HTG. HTG provides density compensated level measurement for pressurized storage tanks based on actually measuring the density with two pressure taps placed in the liquid level at a known distance apart. This requires a multivariable transmitter with 2 differential pressure inputs: dP vapor space to bottom tap and dP between a mid-tank density tap and the bottom tap. There is a good explanation here: page 86 of this book "Instrumentation Fundamentals for Process Control" By Douglas O de Sa, CRC Press, 2001. Most instrument companies offer this multivariable transmitter. The theory is that the dP between the midpoint tap and the bottom tap, both of which are submerged in the tank liquid, is proportional to liquid density represented by the difference in head between the two taps. You would use a HTG on tanks with a pressurized vapor space and varying liquid density. You do not need to know the temperature correction for liquid density, although most of these transmitters also provide an RTD temperature input as well in case there is no midpoint pressure tap.

Resection of Liver Metastases: State of the Art
Resection of Liver Metastases: State of the Art
The article by Drs. Ravikumar
and Gallos provides an excellent and timely overview of recent developments in the treatment of metastatic
liver disease.
Value of Resectional Surgery
Surgery has evolved to become the standard of care for a defined subset of
patients with hepatic colorectal metastases. Hepatic resections are now
well-controlled procedures, with several centers reporting very low
perioperative mortality rates. Although the majority of patients who undergo
hepatic resection still succumb to metastatic disease, the authors provide
strong data in support of hepatic resection as a means of prolonging survival
beyond that expected with systemic or regional chemotherapy alone. In addition,
three large single-institution series have reported high tumor-free survival
rates after 5 years, thus providing the best presumptive evidence of potential
cure from resection.[1-3]
Criteria for Resection
A clear distinction should be made between the factors predicting prognosis
following hepatic resection for colorectal metastases and the criteria
contraindicating resection. The three major factors affecting outcome after
resection are (1) a positive surgical resection margin, (2) a synchronous tumor
presentation (liver and primary), and (3) a node-positive primary.[1,3-7] The
only two contraindications to resection are the presence of extrahepatic disease
and the inability to achieve complete resection.
Although the presence of four or more metastases was once thought to preclude
long-term survival, the absolute number of metastases no longer contraindicates
resection. Similarly, bilobar disease is no longer considered a contraindication
to operative intervention. The inability to achieve a negative margin is
considered an absolute contraindication to resection, but the 5-year survival of
patients with margins < 1 cm is greater than 20% and justifies hepatic
resection as long as a negative margin is obtained.[8,9]
The term extrahepatic disease should be clarified. We agree with the authors'
statement that lymph node metastases contraindicate resection because these
metastases are either hepatic (hilar and celiac lymphadenopathy) or advanced
from primary colorectal cancer (periaortic and iliac lymphadenopathy). However,
extrahepatic disease encompasses a broad spectrum of clinical presentations that
per se do not contraindicate combined hepatic and extrahepatic resection,
because extended survival has been reported after complete resection for

Buffalo Township woman spreads warmth through charity
Denise Lavenets believes her mission to help the less fortunate ultimately helped reverse her own fortunes.
The Buffalo Township woman said she was brought low by a life-threatening illness two years ago.
"I thought I was going to die," she said. She was depressed, couldn't work and didn't have a car.
But amid the darkness, Lavenets believes she was led to reach out to others by collecting items for the homeless, poor and others who have fallen on hard times.
"Through prayer, I believe the Lord guided me to start a blanket and coat drive," said Lavenets, 48. "It's brought so much light, so much hope into my life."
Lavenets said she started the ministry that would become "Treasures in Darkness" with the help of Serena Buday of Tarentum, then a student at Highlands High School.
The two met by chance and soon were collaborating to set up collection sites at area stores.
Both were surprised by the response.
"The first year we did it, her whole house was filled (with boxes of donations)," said Buday, 20, a student at Penn State New Kensington. "We were so shocked."
"In that year, we were able to donate and distribute to five organizations," Lavenets said. "It was huge. We were shown that, when you set out to do something, the giving is great."
The following year, Lavenets joined Expressway Baptist Church in Buffalo Township and the collection grew into a churchwide ministry.
"We're a small church, but we can do large things to help people," Lavenets said.
The Rev. Daniel McCrosky said he was the church's new pastor in 2012 when Lavenets arrived, and her goals meshed with the church's.
"Expressway Baptist Church exists to glorify God and make disciples of all nations," McCrosky said. "One way to make disciples is to show people how much we love them. One of the ways we show we love them is to take care of their basic needs."
McCrosky said he was impressed by the response last winter: "Last year was our first year, and our lobby was just filled with coats, hats, gloves, boxes of stuff."
The donated items are distributed to about seven organizations, including Harrison-based Allegheny Valley Association of Churches and several shelters for abused women and homeless people in Butler County and Pittsburgh.
Lavenets said they assist individuals as the ministry becomes aware of their needs.
This winter, Lavenets said they've expanded their collection sites to include Pittsburgh Mills mall in Frazer, which she hopes will mean they reach more people able to donate.
Lavenets said they plan to make Treasures in Darkness a year-round ministry, not just a winter project. She hopes to add a food pantry and coordinate with other regional churches in hopes of expanding the outreach.
"There is so much need out there," she said. "I think the good Lord is branching us out."
Lavenets hopes more people will participate in the ministry so they can experience the same feeling of grace that she's realized.
"I'm very involved in other people's lives, which keeps me from worrying about my own," Lavenets said. "We are like a light in a lighthouse now."
"When we deliver these coats and blankets, we felt really good," said Buday. "It was awesome to do something for someone else."
"Everybody's a minister," McCrosky said. "I'm the pastor, but everyone is a minister in their own spirit."

To ink the stamp, gently tap the ink pad on the stamp (& not the opposite) until the area to be inked is colored and slightly shiny. That means there's just enough ink to print.
Also, do not press the ink pad too hard on the stamp. Ink could leak in areas that are not to be inked and the print might run.
The size of the ink pad doesn't need to be bigger than the stamp. I think that it is even easier to ink a stamp with a smaller pad.
Never rub the stamp on the ink pad.

Jordan's King Abdullah II on Thursday affirmed his confidence in the ability of the Jordanian democracy to overcome the current crisis between the government and the parliament, and called for adopting dialogue and resorting to the constitution to solve it.
In an interview with the London-based Al Hayat newspaper, the King said that the issue of resolving parliament was not raised, and that this will never be a solution for this crisis. "Reform is our choice, for it is a national agenda and not an agenda for specific people," the King said, adding that he respects the stance of the parliament as well as the wisdom of the prime minister and his position. "I also appreciate the competence of the ministerial team, but what is important is judging the programs and not persons".
"I trust the ministerial team and its members are people who are known for their competence and honesty, and when they were chosen, I don't think that the issue of their origins was taken into consideration," he said.
Some 46 Jordanian MP's threatened to vote "no" in the up-coming Parliament vote of confidence if changes in the government are not made especially in the economic sector.
King Abdullah said that the Middle East is at a crossroad and this necessitates that its countries adopt an approach that leads to stability and deals with the problems of unemployment, poverty and tension. He noted that Jordan is aiming to spread democracy and help reform of all kinds in the region and urged all the people of the Arab world to join in the political decisions in their states.

The newlyweds have found their dream home and are ready to move into the luxurious mansion with their baby.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have purchased a $20 million mega-mansion in Hidden Hills, California. The lavish estate is just 5 minutes away from Kris Jenner's house, where the celebrity couple is currently living.
The 3.5-acre mansion has a massive entertainment pavilion, eight bedrooms, a vineyard and two swimming pools, with one pool having a slide for baby North. The master suit has its own gym, steam room, sauna and private patio with spa. Real estate people in the area call it "the jewel of Hidden Hills."
The estate has a musical history as it was once owned by Lisa Marie Presley. A source told TMZ that Kim had been telling people it's "her dream home." For months, she and Kanye have been going back and forth from Kris' house to check out the house on Vespas.
The stars have been living at Kris' house since their Bel-Air home underwent a massive renovation. After purchasing their Bel-Air mansion in 2013 for $11 million, the pair tore it down with the intention to build a massive Italian-style villa with a gym, movie theater, bowling alley, as well as hair and makeup salon. After dealing with the never-ending construction, the newlyweds decided to sell the property.
Kim told PEOPLE she wanted more land than the Bel-Air home. "When we bought our Bel Air house, we didn't have a baby, we weren't even pregnant," she explained. According to a source, the couple will "move into the house as is, they have no plans to tear it down or anything like that."
In other news, Kim ranted about needing to lose baby weight. The 33-year-old reality star tweeted on Tuesday, August 5, "Off to an intense workout. Can't seem to shake this last 15-20 lbs of baby weight. no more excuses. my baby is 1 years old! UGH."
Despite losing a lot of weight for her wedding, the brunette beauty felt it wasn't enough. She continued, "Ughhhh my hips & butt are huge now! They were big to begin with! Just need to get down to my weight a few years ago. Not gonna complain anymore. Starting diet today! No carbs. crazy workouts. Whos with me?"

ABOUT KARL DENSON: For nearly three decades, legendary saxophonist Karl Denson has been getting crowds around the world out on the dance floor. Approaching iconic status, Denson has moved bodies and minds dating back to his earliest years with Lenny Kravitz's band through his ongoing tenure as a founding member of seminal boogaloo revivalists The Greyboy Allstars and his current roll as a member of San Diego dub rockers Slightly Stoopid. Nowhere, however, is this more apparent than with his band, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe. Touring relentlessly for the past 15 years and leaving a massive audience in his wake, fans know that when KDTU is in town a dance party will ensue.
Karl and his band are back on the road for a multi-city tour in support of their latest studio album, New Ammo, an infectious 13-track collection, and Denson's debut release on Slightly Stoopid's record label, Stoopid Records. Alongside Denson originals like the title track and "Everybody Knows That," which have become fan favorites from his live sets, KDTU offers up searing versions of "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes, "Hang Me Up To Dry" by Cold War Kids and "Sure Shot" by The Beastie Boys. The first single "My Baby," features Nicki Bluhm on vocals.
In Denson's own words: "We've finally figured out how to capture in the studio what the Tiny Universe does live. We move around a lot musically, but this record reflects who we are as a band and where we're headed with our music."
ABOUT BROOKLYN BOWL: Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas is the brand's third location. With three levels spanning over 80,000 square feet, Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas is one of the largest performance venues in America and is described by People Magazine as being "on the fast path to being Vegas'über cool place." Located inside The LINQ, the open-air district in the center of the Las Vegas Strip, the multi-dimensional space boasts 32 lanes of bowling, five on-site bars and rockin' comfort food by the world-renowned Bromberg Brothers' Blue Ribbon Restaurants, including their iconic Fried Chicken celebrated on Food Network's "The Best Thing I Ever Ate." On any given night, more than 2,000 concertgoers can enjoy live music programming from the general admission area, the luxurious bowlers' lounges adjacent to the lanes, or the private lounge boxes overlooking it all. Since opening in March 2014, Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas has seen notable performances by Elvis Costello & The Roots, Jane's Addiction, Phil Lesh & Friends, Primus, O.A.R. and Steve Winwood.
The original location opened in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn in 2009 in the former Hecla Iron Works building (built in 1882) and was the first L.E.E.D. certified bowling alley in the world. Brooklyn Bowl New York has hosted countless notable performances, including shows by Kanye West, Adele, Paul Simon, Moby and Guns N'Roses and has been named Zagat's "Best Music Venue - New York City" for three consecutive years (as well as "Best Bowling Alley" and "Best Brooklyn Venue") and one of the best clubs in America by Rolling Stone. Eater described their menu as "epic," while The New Yorker hailed the club's unprecedented combination of top-flight music, beer, bowling, and food as "like nailing a spare on a four-ten split." The second Brooklyn Bowl location opened in January 2014 at the O2 in London, and was hailed by the London Evening Standard as a "...wonderland of food, drink, music and pins".

JAY DAVIS: Lady Tigers, President have a common four-year term
President Barack Obama, his wife and daughters moved into a big white house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest in Washington, D.C., in 2009. Since that time, the Lady Tigers are the only team that has represented Region 6A at the State A Volleyball Tournament.
To some it may seem that playing in the final eight on the last weekend of the year is old hat for our volleyball players. Well, it is and it isn't. It is true that the seniors on the squad know the ropes. They have not faced a season that ended until the Saturday before Thanksgiving. But for eight of the 14 players this is a brand new experience. And hopefully, like those who spent their first state tournament as a bench player, this is a catalyst for working hard enough to become the kind of players who can lead their team to even more state tourneys in the future.
Wow, political rambling on the day after the election! Sorry, I shouldn't be getting ahead of the bus.
The volleyball season is not over for nearly every fan for a wide radius as Herreid-Selby Area and Timber Lake are also playing in the state tournament next week.
The Wolverines of Herreid-Selby Area are looking to win early and get to the championship semifinals and beyond after winning the consolation title last year.
The Lady Panthers of Timber Lake are making their first-ever trip to state. It is a very exciting time for that program.
The Lady Tigers and the rest of the Class A field will converge on the Civic Arena in Watertown for the State A Volleyball Tournament Nov. 15 through 17. The Lady Tigers (23-6) will start the proceedings. They are the eighth seed and will play number one seed Belle Fourche (31-1) at noon. Four seed Dakota Valley (26-3) and five seed Wagner (30-3) will play at 1:45 p.m. Three seed Sioux Falls Christian (27-4) and six seed Aberdeen Roncalli (23-5) will meet at 6 p.m. before two seed Pine Ridge (31-1) and seven seed Sioux Valley (23-5) round out day one at 7:45 p.m.
The Class B Tournament will be played in the Corn Palace in Mitchell where Herreid-Selby Area is the three seed and Timber Lake is the seven seed.
Top seed Parker (32-0) will play eight seed Lyman (16-12) at noon. Four seed Andes Central (29-3) and five seed Arlington (30-5) will play at 1:45. Herreid-Selby Area (28-2) and six seed James Valley Christian (21-6) will start the night session at 6 p.m. with Timber Lake (24-7) taking on two seed Warner (31-0) at 7:45 p.m.
The only unfortunate to the whole thing is that the tourneys are in different gyms in different cities this year.
The state tourneys were both held in the Sioux Falls Arena last November. That made covering both of the Walworth/Campbell County teams a snap (and a pleasure, by the way).
Separate cities and separate gyms will be wonderful for the fans of each tourney, but it will force people like me to watch the Class B tourney on a motel room TV.
That's okay. It will be an interesting and exciting weekend as it is.

South Africa's reality TV race test
South Africa is putting the final touches to its version of Big Brother - and is putting together a mix of housemates that is intended to "rattle racial preconceptions".
Producers say their take on the reality TV phenomenon, which starts in August, will be entertainment and not a social experiment in the post-apartheid era.
But many will view the progress of 10 mixed housemates - with no outside contact for three and a half months - with interest.
But producers insist events and relations on the show should not be given wider significance - and refuse to choose a mix of housemates that exactly reflects the country's ethnic variety.
"We don't want to fall into the trap of this being seen as some kind of litmus test for the country," said series content editor Neil McCarthy.
"We're trying to create a group that rattles racial preconceptions to some degree."
Producers held the second round of auditions for the show last week, with the contestants entering the house in late August.
"How does one, as a viewer, vote people out of the house? Do you vote them out because of the colour of their skin or because they're really irritating people?
"Does conflict become a racial thing or a personality thing?"
Executive producer Marie Rosholt says the show will be about people getting on together.
Filmed continuously
"It's not about conflict and I do believe it will be a positive experience for all South Africans," she said.
As in other countries, housemates will be locked in and filmed continuously by dozens of cameras.
The contestants will be whittled down by a mixture of nominations from other housemates and a public vote.
The winner after 106 days will scoop the 1m Rand (£85,600) prize.
The Big Brother format, which was first a hit in Holland, has now been sold to 18 countries.

This is such a delicate and intricate ring. And I usually prefer silver to gold, but I love this ring in gold more.
This looks vintage without actually being vintage.
I love both of these rings- I like the glamour of the white crystal flower ring, and I j'adore the gothic punk edge of the black crystal flower ring.
Simple vintage flowers surronding a faux stone. I love~

Pro golfer Aaron Baddeley follows in the footsteps of golfers such as Ben Crane, Larry Mize, Zach Johnson and Stewart Cink as speaker at the annual Augusta Golf Breakfast.
The free breakfast, a Masters Week tradition sponsored by the Greater Augusta Fellowship of Christian Athletes, starts at 7 a.m. Tuesday at Warren Baptist Church.
Baddeley, 30, has competed in the Masters Tournament six times. His best finish came in 2009, when he tied for 17th.
This year's event is expected to draw more than 1,000 golf fans for a free Southern-style breakfast buffet and hourlong program.
The Greater Augusta FCA is pleased to have Baddeley speak "not so much because of his ranking and the terrific year he's had on the PGA Tour, but because of his being completely unashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ," said Greg Wilson, the area director of the organization.
"'Badds' has demonstrated his faith numerous times in television interviews while playing on the PGA Tour, and it's always enjoyable to see the impact a guy with his tremendous character will have on a crowd like the one we get to enjoy each year at the breakfast," Wilson said.

With the SuperBowl set between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots, get set to hear for the next two weeks about how awesome these two teams are. Get set to hear about the great rematch between these two team and about how great Tom Brady and Eli Manning is. In fact, get set to hear every positive you can think of as the NFL spins this matchup into the greatest thing since sliced cheese.
Even though, if you look at the two teams, they really aren't that great.
Look, I get it that both these teams earned their spot in this game, it's not there fault that San Francisco and Baltimore's special teams basically gave them this chance, but let's not kid ourselves into thinking this is some classic matchup between two powerhouses because it's not. In actuality, it a game between two seriously flawed teams that just happened to squeak out of their respective Conferences.
New England is helmed by the golden child of the NFL, Tom Brady. With a win in this game, Brady will go down as arguably the greatest quarterback of all time. He has turned an average at best offensive unit into something potent and unstoppable at times. With no running game and a passing game that is reliant on two tight ends and a possession receiver, Brady has worked a miracle this season and should be listed up there with Houdini and Copperfield because of the illusion cast on all of us that this is a balanced, functional offense.
On the other side of the ball, the Patriots defense is easily one of the worse to ever enter the postseason, let alone the SuperBowl. Ranked next to last statistically, this unit has looked better in their two playoff wins. However, it should be noted that facing a Denver O that is mainly nonexistent and a Baltimore one that is marginally better does not merit my buying into the improvement.
The Pats opponent in this less than SuperBowl. The New York Giants, are either the luckiest team in existence or are the ultimate sandbaggers because after barely squeaking into the playoffs, they have rattled off three impressive wins over very stiff competition. It's hard to knock on this team other than it is very inconsistent in it's own right, having lost 5 out of it's final 8 regular season games before making this epic run.
No, this isn't a historic SuperBowl in regards to where these two teams stand as of this season but it's the one we got and it's a far cry better than some of the other possibilities that were available.
I'm a firm believer of making the best of a bad situation and since this isn't that bad considering the rematch angle of SuperBowl XLII, then it's fairly easy to see this as an enjoyable game between two teams that, well, are less than perfect. And when it all comes down to it anyway, hell, it's the SuperBowl baby!
Doesn't get any better than this!

Sarah Jessica Parker checked into her hometown of Cincinnati this week, but it was more than just a chance to go home and relax.
The actress was there to help President Barack Obama gain an edge with women voters in the stretch race of the election. As KYPost noted, Sarah Jessica Parker joined actress Alfre Woodward and Democratic strategist Valerie Jarrett at the Obama headquarters in Cincinnati.
Sarah Jessica Parker was part of the event known as "Women Decide 2012." For Obama, that's more than just a clever phrase. The president holds a large advantage over GOP challenger Mitt Romney with women voters, and if he is to win re-election in November he will need a strong showing from women.
Nowhere is this more true than Sarah Jessica Parker's home state of Ohio. The state looks to be the most crucial in the race, with many pundits saying whoever can take the Buckeye State will win the election. Both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have devoted much time to campaigning in Ohio, and encouraging voters to go to the polls early to vote.
Entertainment Tonight went to the campaign stop to catch up with Sarah Jessica Parker, who said she sees the 2012 presidential election as the most important of her lifetime.
"The things that I feel are most important to women and to children, the things that have made an enormous difference these past four years, and the possibility for even more important, vital and necessary change, is going to come from the Obama administration," Sarah Jessica Parker said.

Mortal Kombat writer to Script the Sci-Fi Film FORGOTTON
Screenwriter Oren Uziel has been hired by Paramount Pictures to write the script for their Sci-Fi film project Forgotten, which will star True Grit's Hailee Steinfeld. The film will be an adaptation of the novel written by Cat Patrick.
Steinfeld will play London Lane, a 16-year old whose memory is erased at 4:33 every night. The following morning, all she can remember are events from her future. After meeting a new boy at school, London becomes frustrated that she can't seem to find him in her memory of things to come.
Sounds like it will make for a cool movie, and the fact that Steinfeld is on board to star is a plus. She's a great young up-and-coming actress.
The screenwriter for the film Uziel is currently writing the script for the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot, and earlier this year Sony picked up a comedy he wrote called The Kitchen Sink, which Jonah Hill is set to direct.
Here's the description of the book:
Every night, while sixteen-year-old London Lane is asleep, her memory of that day is erased. In the morning, all she can "remember" are events from her future. London is used to relying on reminder notes and a trusted friend to get through the day, but things get complicated when a new boy at school enters the picture.
Luke Henry is not someone you'd easily forget, yet try as she might, London can't find him in her memories of things to come. When London starts experiencing disturbing flashbacks, or flash-forwards, as the case may be, she realizes it's time to learn about the past she keeps forgetting—before it destroys her future.

2014 Atlanta: Ford NASCAR Nationwide Race Quotes
Posted by: ASkyler on Aug 31, 2014 - 06:30 AM
2014 Atlanta: Ford NASCAR Nationwide Race Quotes
JOEY LOGANO - No. 22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang - PRESS CONFERENCE - "Our Discount Tire Ford was a little bit off to start the race - just too loose - and just trying to keep the rear tires on it somewhat for the long run. I felt like we were a second-place car even then. We made some good adjustments and got closer. We put some tape on the grille and lost it all again, and then we started to tighten it back up, but then the last run I finally had it tightened up to where I could hustle the car and drive it pretty hard. I took off that last run and started to catch Kevin a little bit and then started to get too tight. He started driving away a little bit and then last six or seven laps all of a sudden the light switch turned on and I started catching him. I just ran out of time. I wish there were five or seven more laps and I could have got to him and tried to do something with him. We were catching him two or three tenths a lap there at the end and having some fun with it, but it was too little too late. Weâll have to continue to battle tomorrow."
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT TEAM PENSKEâS DOMINANCE? "Weâve been working really hard. For me and the 22 bunch, at least on the Cup side, itâs our second year together and weâre definitely starting to build that chemistry. Obviously, the notebook is there and weâve had some fast race cars the whole year. Weâve had consistency the last six or seven races over there, so weâre proud of that. Itâs a good time to get that going into the Chase. And then over here on the Nationwide side theyâve been fast over here since I was driving at Gibbs. This 22 car is fast, so it was a good change for me to obviously get over here and be able to work with Jeremy Bullins on the Nationwide car and this whole Discount Tire team. Theyâve been fast and everyone knows what it takes to go fast. Itâs always hard work and better aero, better motors, better chassis and working on your suspension the best you can. Obviously hitting the setup and having that chemistry throughout your team, thatâs how you go fast. It seems like theyâve done a good job on this 22 Nationwide car and with the Cup cars - both of them. We have some good people and thatâs what it takes."
THOUGHTS ON TIRE MANAGEMENT? "I thought it played in quite a bit. The last run there some guys were coming and short-pitting and the question was, âCan we make it to the end?â And then it just kind of depended on what happened there and when the 5 car was gonna pit, when we were gonna pit and try to make up time. There was no strategy played by us to be able to make it happen. We did what he did and tried to pass him that way, but tires fall off so much that short-pitting gives you that quick burst of speed thatâs two-and-a-half or three seconds a lap, but then you pay for that throughout the rest of the run when everyone else gets their tires, so eventually it equals back out. But you try to get that track position by short-pitting or something like that, and also with these Nationwide cars you have a limited amount of tires so when you take them, it didnât quite come into play tonight, but we werenât far from it. If there was a couple more cautions there would have been a time when we would have had to stay out and it would have been a mess."
WHAT MAKES JEREMY BULLINS SUCH A GOOD CREW CHIEF? "Quite a bit. Obviously, heâs been doing this quite a few years now so heâs got that experience behind him. Itâs very hard for a crew chief to be able to work with four different drivers throughout the year because we all want something else, and working with a rookie also with Ryan Blaney is a big challenge for him and heâs done a great job with it. To be good doing that youâve got to have an open mind, youâve got to have confidence in what youâre doing. Heâs got some good people surrounding him. Heâs really, really good."
DAVID RAGAN - No. 98 DenBeste Ford Mustang - "Top 10 finishes are what we strive for. Certainly everybody wants to show up at these races and win, but for a part-time team and a group that doesnât have an affiliation with any Sprint Cup teams, thatâs a great run. We outran some great cars. We still could have made it a little bit better at times. We all can do our jobs just a little more perfect, but we had a good time. It was a lot of fun. This race track is a blast." ONLY TWO CAUTIONS TONIGHT. "We worked on it every stop. We only had enough tires for those few cautions, but if we could have worked on it better and had a little bit better track position I think we had a top five or six race car, but weâll take a top 10. Weâre taking baby steps and weâll go get âem next time. That was a lot of fun."
CHRIS BUESCHER - No. 60 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ford Mustang - "That was OK. I thought we were gonna be a little bit better, but this surface will throw you for a loop in a hurry. It was really cool having the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the car. It was a real attention-getter. The kids loved it, so that was really neat. Hopefully, weâll do something like that again in the future. Our guys worked really hard all day and got our Ford Mustang home in 13th, so we got a couple of spots there on good strategy. Iâm looking forward to Richmond."

Yi Peng – The Beauty of the Floating Lantern Festival
Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared. Buddha We were at the Yi Peng festival in Chiang Mai, Thailand, also known as the Floating Lantern Festival. And while Yi Peng festival occurs at the same time as the better known Loi Krathong festival, it is a different festival with roots in the ancient Lanna kingdom. It was already quite late and dark, but as we lighted the torches surrounding us, the night grew brighter with the flames and everything felt warmer. We all sat down; the sea of orange flames stretching on indefinitely to each direction and we settled down for mediation, which, I do admit, is probably not that exciting if you haven't really done any mediation before.

Shanghai World Expo 2010 – Photo Essay
On my 2010 trip to China I ended up in Shanghai after a night train from Beijing; and since this was in 2010, the Shanghai World Expo was on. And World Expo is one of those things I haven't quite ever figured out, so naturally I was curious. They have this huge area where all the countries come in and build a building for themselves and then they fill it with things they want to showcase about their country. And then people pay to come in to see the buildings and the stuff in the buildings. Which actually is quite like all the national houses in London during the Olympics. They were expecting about 70 million people to visit. That's over dozen times the population of Finland; and a lot more than the population of UK. That to me...Read More
London 2012 Olympics – One Londoner's Rant
So the Olympics; you probably have heard that they started a few weeks ago. And if you live in London or anywhere in the UK, then you've known about the Olympics for quite a while now; unless you've been living under a rock, a really big rock, in a forest, far away. And even then I think you would've known what's happening. It's been impossible to avoid Olympic news around here. They probably didn't cover the 70 day and 8000 mile journey the torch took around UK as extensively outside UK as they did here. BBC has been telling us every day what the torch has been up to every day since it started its journey from Greece months ago. They've been trying to get everybody into the "Olympic mood". And since the Olympics started, the BBC might as...Read More
Viva San Fermín! Viva Pamplona!
[Not a valid template] I was drenched in wine, sangria, champagne and beer; I was soaked, all of us were. And the festival in Pamplona had only started an hour earlier. So what the hell is San Fermín about? Just a few hours earlier I had wandered in awe at the streets of Pamplona, looking at all the people wearing clean white clothes. Come to Pamplona during the festival and not dress in white, and you will stand out. [Not a valid template] [Not a valid template] So, if you come to Pamplona for the festival, just get some white clothes; mind you, I don't recommend getting anything expensive. Or anything you'd like to wear after the festival for that matter. With the white outfit, you should wear a red sash and a red scarf, but you are not...Read More
Pamplona – a City Getting Ready to Party
[Not a valid template] Pamplona, here I finally was. What had originally started as a random twitter chat with Jeannie from Nomadic Chick, had finally come to this. I was in Pamplona and the San Fermin festival was about to start in sixteen hours. [Not a valid template] But first things first; I had to find my accommodation. This was basically a flat of a friend of a friend of a friend kind of thing, as obviously staying in a hostel for the San Fermin festival would just be too easy. And by that I mean I was way too late to book anything. Forward planning again hadn't been my strong point. My new flat was central; and as I later found out, it was actually right in the middle of the party. My flatmates were awesome; and one...Read More

Introduction to the ARM Architecture
The ARM architecture is one of the fastest growing microcontroller architectures in embedded devices. It provides two different programmer's models32- and 16-bit. Because ARM licenses the architecture instead of manufacturing chips, it is used by many different semiconductor companies. This paper provides an overview of the low-level workings of the basic core, focusing on the register set for both 32-bit and 16-bit instruction sets and how these operate in all modes.
