The best way to Utilize (And take away) Wall Quotations
Creative and inspirational wall offers is among the most recent developments in wall decor. They could insert everything from intelligent sayings, relatives values, inspiration and acceptable sentiments to any space.custom wall decals These are typically created of vinyl in order that they are very easy to use and even a lot easier to remove.
Making use of your vinyl wall prices:
one. If the quotations arrived rolled, flatten them out by location some large textbooks (hardbound textbooks without the need of any bumps are encouraged) over the decals.
two. The decals will possibly have got a white or perhaps a apparent tape include within the entrance along with a white backing paper within the back again. Making use of a squeegee, drag it firmly over the tape go over to ensure the phrases are sticking within the tape.
3. Wipe the floor with the wall having a cloth to be certain it is clear and dry.
four. Set up the phrases and phrases in line with your structure then tape the corners of each and every phrase using a masking tape to carry it in position. You might want to make use of a lengthy ruler and degree to verify the decals are appropriately aligned. Modify and re-tape your words until eventually they are straight.
5. Tape the highest of every term together the whole length from the decal then flip the lettering up, with the tape as your hinge. Peel the backing paper and thoroughly place the word again all the way down to avoid any wrinkles. Do that only whenever you are prepared to use the decal.
six. Using the squeegee, drag it above the decal firmly right up until many of the letters are affixed properly. Remove the masking tape then slowly and gradually peel the apparent tape deal with by pulling it back to the wall. If component of the letter lifts back as you pull it, drive back the tape and rub some far more on that place, then keep on peeling. Repeat the final two steps for every word.
Make sure your walls are clear and that you don't use the decals onto freshly painted walls. The vinyl will not likely adhere adequately, therefore if you merely painted, you want to permit about 3 months for that paint to settle prior to placing up your stickers.
So, how can you take away the wall quotes?
1. Pull up a corner of each and every term working with your fingernail or tweezers and gently pull from the lettering in a very downward movement.
2. Should the rates have already been up for a very long time, you can smear a skinny layer of mayonnaise all around the decals to melt the glue. Allow it sit for just a pair of minutes then wipe it off and check out peeling the stickers again.
3. For walls with wood end, utilize a blow dryer on very low location and run it in excess of the decals for a number of minutes to release the glue, then remove the stickers. When there is residue still left around the wall, scrub the floor utilizing a fabric dabbed in tiny cooking oil until the adhesive arrives off. Never use any sharp objects when eliminating from wooden as this could scratch the floor.

Last quarter sees a GDP boost - what the Press sayPosted by Alexander Hay
What to make of the new GDP figures, that claim growth was twice that so far predicted? The press and media are on it...
As the BBC reports today, George Osborne is claiming that the surprisingly good data is a sign that we are on the road to recovery. But is it?
The economic situation was still "relatively choppy," the prime minister's official spokesman said, but the growth figure "is something we can take confidence from". Mr Osborne, as chairman of the cabinet's economic affairs committee, would now be leading a "ruthless focus on growth" by going through each government department in turn to push for greater efficiencies and deregulation and "clear any bottlenecks," the spokesman added.
The Telegraph certainly sounds a note of caution - as the economy recovers, there will be a need to raise interest rates too:
Interest rates have been at historically low levels since the credit crisis took hold... It had been expected there would be little change before the end of next year, but on the back of yesterday's strong growth figures some traders were predicting two rate rises before then, with a base rate of at least 1 per cent by the end of 2011.
Similarly, the Daily Mail says that some at the Bank of England are thinking it's a good idea, all things considered:
But Andrew Sentance, an external member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, argued the figures meant interest rates should go up. He said: 'I am in favour of gradually moving interest rates up from their very low level which I think can be done without disrupting business or consumer confidence.' The economist has consistently been the only member of the committee voting for rates to rise.
Still, as The Independent says, the markets are very happy with the news, at least for now:
One of the largest contributions to the growth figure came from the construction sector, which accounted for a quarter of the new growth, despite representing only 6 per cent of the economy. On an annualised basis, activity in the building trade is up 16 per cent, though from a depressed base.
Otherwise, business services, especially in telecoms and in computer support did exceptionally well, as did road haulage and the retail trade. Banking and other financial services were less strong. The Engineering Employers' Federation pointed out that manufacturing in the UK had enjoyed its best 12 months since 1994, boosted by exports, though they warn that the nation "can't take growth for granted".
And as eGov Monitor reports, a boost in GDP is good news for the regions as well as the London markets:
Deputy First Minister, Ieuan Wyn Jones, has responded to the latest GDP figures published today. The Deputy First Minister said: "Any growth in the economy is to be welcomed. However, we must remember we have still seen a slowdown as the last quarter saw 1.2% growth. The recovery is far from fully established and is yet to gain momentum.
The Guardian has an interesting graph comparing this recession with the ones that have gone before it, whilst commentator Chris Payne remains pessimistic:
So these GDP figures in many ways suggest nothing more than that the UK economy's slide towards anaemic growth or perhaps another recession is slower than people thought; that is to say that the positive factors from the second quarter (April to June) have not dwindled quite as fast as expected. But this does not mean the private sector is gearing itself up for an investment splurge. There remains as yet little indication that a new investment cycle is under way. Moreover, if businesses are waiting for consumers to start spending again before they invest, then they might well have a long time to wait, for the UK is demonstrating a rather ugly congruence of slowing retail sales and very low savings rates (sub 5%). Consumers and households will surely need to rebuild their savings before the confidence returns to start spending again.
Right wing blogger Guido Fawkes is inevitably feeling more buoyant, accusing Labour and the BBC of trying to talk down the news, but he still counsels caution:
[It's] better than expected and Labour's double-dip talk is looking increasingly desperate but it's not all good news. The Legatum Institute's Prosperity Index released this morning has Britain lingering at an unlucky thirteenth in the world, with little chance of breaking into the top ten anytime soon.
And with that in mind, much to his, and their surprise, Guido finds himself in agreement with the Morning Star, which add that government cuts may have a knock-on effect and stop the recovery in its tracks:
Prime Minister David Cameron promised a "relentless focus on growth" on Monday, but critics doubt that the private sector can fill the hole left by the coalition's austerity measures, which are expected to cost at least 600,000 public-sector jobs.
TUC general secretary Brendan Barber said that today's estimate "may be better than expected but, with unemployment looking increasingly stubborn, the economy will need to perform stronger than this to generate jobs for the millions still out of work as a result of the recession."
Finally, CITY A.M. has gathered the views of economists on the rebound - some of whom have interesting views on the matter:
These things are never linear – it's not unusual to get erratic data at a turning point. We are going to see a rebalancing of the economy, which is an awfully good thing but also involves a bit of pain.

Just bought this jacket and I love everything about it! I have a large chest (34 F) so usually I have to buy larges to fit my chest in there, but I probably could have gone with a medium since it does run a little big! The only complaint I have it the zipper is nearly impossible to do up- it just gets stuck! I prefer to wear the jacket open anyways, but if I did want to use the zipper it might become a problem.
Cute little jacket
I am really excited about this jacket! I have been eyeing it since it was featured in a FP email about a month ago. I was hesitant to spend the money on the steep shipping cost, and without the option of a free return label, but I'm glad I finally ordered it. The best things about this jacket are the material and the color. It feels like a windbreaker, without looking too shiny. The color is the most perfect neutral dark green color I have sen this fall. I am really impressed with the quality of this jacket considering the price and my experience with the fragility of recent FP purchases. I think this one will last. The shape (or lack of) of this jacket is very unusual. It looks just like the picture on and I would say it runs a little on the large side, although there is no indentation for your shoulders, so size depending on how puffy you want the sleeves and body, you do not have to worry about how it will

So you're looking to bring new life into your house. However, you want to get rid of this really old, dreary, outdated wallpaper that has been on those walls for decades. The problem is, you realize the cost of stripping the wallpaper is excessive. To make matters worse, you have a 70 year old plaster walls and are in danger of ruining them. What can you do?
There is a process to Paint Over wallpaper that's very important to follow:
Before starting to paint over wallpaper, take a look at the condition of the wallpaper. Are any seams sticking out? Are there air bubbles or torn pieces? These imperfections are going to stand out much more once the wall is painted, so it's always good to make sure that they are taken care of before you begin to paint over wallpaper.
If you've found any imperfections, go over the imperfections with a layer of spackle, plaster, or joint compound. Once this is done, go over the filler with a 120-grit sandpaper to ensure a smooth wall before painting over wallpaper
Wherever the wallpaper is joined and meet each other, there are tiny lines or seams that shows in between the wallpaper. Make sure you plaster these seams from ceiling to floor. Once the plaster is dry hours later, make sure you sand these seams smooth.
If certain areas of the wallpaper are hanging or curling off, you need to repair these areas also, before getting to paint over wallpaper. If it's minor, then simply glue those areas back with a simple wallpaper glue. If the areas are too big and starting to hang down, then you need to rip off that particular area, and skim coat plaster the entire seam to try to blend it in better. Once the plaster is dry, sand it down with a fine sand paper so you can blend it in better.
Scan the entire wallpaper area and continue this process until all wallpaper has been repaired.
You've taken care of all the major imperfections, so it's time to prep the wall to paint over wallpaper. Go over the entire wall with an oil-based primer. It's crucial to stay away from latex based primers as they may cause the wallpaper to come loose from the wall.
After this is done, check the wall for imperfections again. If any are found, repeat steps 2, 3, 4 and 5 until the wall is smooth.
Apply your wall paint according to the manufacturer's specifications. See our blog on "how to paint a wall" for more details. Almost always, 2 coats are standard, but read the label.
We usually discourage against using oil based paints, but it may be in your best interest to use an oil-based paint instead of latex-based. Despite the entire wall being oil primed, latex based paints sometimes can even find its way through the prime to cause the wallpaper to come loose from the wall.
Latex paints can work, but keep in mind if the bubbles do occur, you just need to repeat steps 1 to 5 until all the bubbles are gone.
In summation, if the budget and time is there, and the walls aren't too old with plaster issues, it's always better to strip wallpaper when you can. Stripping wallpaper properly makes for a cleaner and more consistent finish. But painting on top of wallpaper is definitely a possible option when the existing conditions don't allow that.

The LG Remarq Eco-Friendly Cell Phone
LG Goes Green With the New Remarq
Although it doesn't come with a solar-powered battery, the new LG Remarq is pretty eco-friendly in its own right. Announced today at the CTIA wireless conference in Las Vegas, the LG Remarq will hit stores on May 9 (free, after $70 worth of rebates) and has a few Earth-saving attributes: the outer casing of the handset is made from 19 percent post-consumer products, while 87 percent of the device is fully recyclable. It's Energy Star certified and low in PVC and BFRs, and the outer and inner tray packaging is made of 87 percent and 100 percent post-consumer materials, respectively, along with being printed with soy-based inks.
Additionally, LG has traded in its paper manuals for online versions, and the Remarq comes bundled with an Eco Calculator, so you can figure out how much CO2 you'll be saving by walking or biking to work instead of driving your car.
To see what other features come stocked with the Remarq, just
The LG Remarq can access your Facebook and Photobucket accounts in a flash, while the sliding QWERTY keyboard helps you (sensibly) message your pals with ease. Plus, Sprint is offering a buyback credit program (credits range from $5-$300) so your phones can be recycled responsibly, and you can get some cash back for doing good.

I've seen person giving certain types of opinions I'm like everyone must look awesome to them... I rather the truth than one trying to make me feel good that's the difference between a friend and a frienemy... If I'm talking to you and my breath stinks stop me and say "yow dude you probably wanna brush your teeth or something your breath is kicking me down" that's what a person who has my best interest at heart would say... I might feel embarrassed at the moment but I'd truly appreciate it. If I'm ugly to you say it... Don't call a cat a lion he just might try attack a zebra and get himself killed.

You're right on point about being truthful.
I'm insensitive of feelings to an extent. Given that these people are anonymous (no name, address, phone number, or access to an inner circle), this is the perfect platform to reveal the unfiltered truth about a very superficial aspect about themselves.
They won't suffer the social ramifications of being "called out" because nobody knows them here. That's why I pull no punches and give an honest reaction (which the exception of younger teens). If they weren't hidden under a guise and had something at stake, I would respect that and hold my tongue.
I want to help, not embarrass anybody. Unless you misrepresent me.10|10|0
I love this... I hate fake people!!! People need to be real. Society would run better with a what you see is what you get attitude.
There's a time and place to be critical. But generally, yes more truth would make the world a better place.

Internet Exporer 7 Taking MORE Ideas From Firefox?
It has been known for quite some time now that Internet Exporer 7 by Microsoft is going to take on a lot of features similar to Firefox. Well, some of us Firefox users were a little angry at first but thought it would be fine because we all know Microsoft isn't going to be able to match the standards that Firefox has set. Well, now Microsoft announced that they are going to be using the RSS icon that Firefox uses. Yes, that is right, they OFFICIALLY announced that they are "adopting" the icon. Does that mean that anyone who has an illegal version of Windows XP doesn't really have an illegal version, they just have an adopted version? Their excuse for stealing the icon is that they want to keep consistency through the browsers. Ha! Microsoft is probably sitting in their offices using Firefox saying "how did they implement all of these features?"

Investor Group Fighting Fresh Brands/Certified Grocers Deal
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. -- A group of Florida investors is pursuing discussions with Fresh Brands here, regarding the latter's planned sale to Certified Grocers Midwest Inc.
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. -- A group of Florida investors is pursuing discussions with Fresh Brands here, regarding the latter's planned sale to Certified Grocers Midwest Inc.
The investors, which own about 5 percent of Fresh Brands, are part of Freshgroup LLC. Last week, the group filed a statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, indicating that they are considering either a lawsuit or proxy fight against Fresh Brands to halt the proposed $100 million sale to Certified Holdings Inc.
The sale price, valued at $7.05 a share, is $1.54 more than Fresh Brands' closing stock price the day before the sale was announced last Tuesday, according to a report in the Milwaukee Business Journal.
Hodgkins, Ill.-based Certified Grocers Midwest Inc., a 200-member grocery co-op, formed a separate holding company, Certified Holdings, to acquire Fresh Brands. The proposed merger is expected to close in the first quarter of 2006.
In the SEC filing, the investor group said it had begun buying Fresh Brands shares on Nov. 26, 2004, and continued to invest through Jan. 25, 2005. The group said it now owns 246,700 shares at $7.49 to $7.62 each.
The investors said in the filing that they sent a letter to management stating they were opposed to the proposed acquisition because, "among other reasons, the transaction is not in the best interests of the Company's shareholders." Fresh Group also said in the filing that it "intends to explore and possibly pursue legal remedies to protect its interests in the company and to seek further dialogue with the company regarding this transaction."
Fresh Brands, Inc., which operates corporate-owned and franchised retail supermarkets under the Piggly Wiggly and Dick's Supermarkets brands, currently has 74 franchised supermarkets, 20 corporate-owned supermarkets and two corporate-owned convenience stores, all of which are served by two distribution centers and a centralized bakery/deli production facility. Supermarkets are located through Wisconsin, northern Illinois and Iowa.

Hello All,
I started a new job a few weeks ago and had an immediate connection with a coworker , unfortunately, my boss. He is a few years older than me and both of us could not keep our eyes off of each other. As corny as that sounds, it seems as though we locked eyes and were hooked. I unexpectedly received a text message from him soon after being hired that was work related. Somehow we ended up chit chatting all night about anything and everything. Since then we have been in touch nearly every night. Very innocent topics, our favorites, what have you. He has repeatedly , with no prompt from me , said things such as
" I can't believe how much we have in common"
" I haven't been able to stop thinking about you since we met"
" I love how funny you are "
" I could tell you were in intellectual from our first meeting "
" We need to spend more time together to get to know each other"
" I can't believe how beautiful you are "
ok that's embarrasing me but I wanted you to get the picture.
This past week we both acknowledged to each other that there was something there and how much we are attracted to each other. When I tell you we get in touch with each other whenever possible I am not exaggerating. He said he had not been able to get me out of his head since we had met and how wonderful our conversations have been. It has all been very natural and wonderful. We agreed to keep work professional and that whatever happens outside of work happens. He isn't as obvious at work but I can still feel his eyes burning through me when we are there. It has been a short amount of time but we were both so anxious to see and talk to each other often. Honestly I was a little overwhelmed by it.
Fast forward to this week. I am at work involved in our grand opening party. That morning while getting ready we were chit chatting via text about our excitement for the party that night. Later that night There was a young woman standing alone so I went over to introduce myself and make her feel welcomed. I complimented her on her beautiful dress and tried to include her in the festivities. I end up asking her how she came to be there that night and she tells me she is dating the boss. The very man who has been talking to me non stop for the past couple of weeks. I was absolutely floored. I am not a confrontational person so I let it go for the night, I also had no clue what to say to him.
Now I know this has happened to everyone at some point. I am not trying to be naive. However, I do believe we had a connection. I do not know what to say to him or do from here. That entire night he very obviously made a point to avoid me and could not seem to bring himself to look at me. From what I have learned of him thus far it seems incredibly out of character. I realize we have all been there where flirting might get out of hand, BUT a warning, anything ?!

Pumpkin Tea Cakes
Recipe by Derf2440
Nice moist, fragrant, little cakes for afternoon tea or coffee break. Spicy pumpkin taste.
Top Review by KLHquilts
Lovely! A real delight. I've been craving pumpkin and maple things (fall feels like it's just around the corner). This satisfied the pumpkin craving quite nicely. Cut the recipe in half and it didn't seem to hurt a thing; I love the fact that these are so small, so each cake is just 1 WW point. The dates made a lovely addition. This one's a keeper!

Only the Beginning
"Time to eat!" Katara yelled from the dining room.
"Is there meat?" Sokka asked.
"Yes." Katara was eager to eat; she has been starving forever.
"Aww! There is meat?" Aang cried. When he was down the stairs, he stared at something, and Toph was looking really worried.
"Katara, um... you feel heavier." Toph said.
Aang looked at his wife's stomach, wide eyed. "Um Katara, are you pregnant?" Toph and Aang said at the same time. Sokka and Suki both looked worried now too. Ty Lee came down to and now she had a worried look. Toph went to feel Katara's stomach. There was a moment of silence.
"Um... Katara, you're pregnant." Katara now also had a worried look. She thought, oh no! I am pregnant! I am only 18, and just got married! What am I going to do?! I will run away - that is what I will do! Wait, if I run away I would die!
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Katara screamed.
"Um... you are pregnant." Toph put on a fake smile, while Aang and Sokka fainted. Now Suki and Ty Lee had there mouths wide open.
"I am going on a walk!"
Suddenly Aang woke up and said, "You are going no where till you get a sweater!!"
"I am fine!" Katara yelled and Waterbended the door shut.
Katara ran up to her father's hut. She opened the door and cried.
"Katara what is wrong?" Hakoda said with a worried look on his face.
"I-I-I a-am pregnant."
Now chief Hakoda was wide eyed. "But you are only 18!" Hakoda said.
"I-I know" Katara said, "What am I supposed to do?"
Hakoda took a breath. "You will go to the north pole with Master Pakku and your friends. That is what you will do," Hakoda said wiping away a tear.
"Okay father. if that is you want," Katara said sadly. "We will leave on the full moon." As Katara said that she left the hut. She walked to a canoe and took it out to sea. Katara knew where she was going: the Southern Air Temple.
Katara looked ahead, the main land. Not ice, but land! She was going the right way! Then something stopped her: the mountains. Oh no! how am I supposed to cross that?! That is massive. And I remember Aang told me the only way to get up there is by flying bison. "Hmm..." Katara said to herself. She looked around. "A cave!!!" she went in side, then she heard a groan, like an Appa groan. She ran to the boat, and made a big wave, and returned to the Southern Water Tribe.
"Aang! Aang!" Katara screamed.
"What?!" Aang groaned putting and pillow over his head.
"I found flying bison!" Katara could not keep he excitement in.
"What?! Flying bison you say!?!" Aang jumped out of bed and raced around the room.
"Come on - follow me." Aang and Katara where at the cave, when a huge beast made a sound and raced out the cave.

Fresh cabbage from the garden is used in many recipes as well as eaten fresh. If you have an excess of fresh cabbage from the garden or purchased from the grocery store, make pickled cabbage. It is easy to do with a cold pack method. You will be able to store pickled cabbage in the pantry for the winter months.
Things You'll Need
- 12 lbs cabbage
- 8 cups red wine vinegar
- ½ cup pickling salt
- 1 cup brown sugar or Splenda
- 1/2 cup mustard seed
- ¼ cup whole cloves
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- ¼ cup mace
- ¼ cup allspice
- ¼ cup peppercorns
- ¼ cup celery seed
- Spice bag
- Water bath canning pot
- Large bowl with lid
- Colander
- 2 large pots
- 2 ladles and spoons
- Jar funnel
- Jar puller
- Wet washcloth
- Dry towel
- 8 10-pint canning jars with lids and rings
Select three to four large heads of cabbage that are firm and do not have any moldy or bad spots on them. Wash the cabbage thoroughly and cut it up in quarters. Remove the core on the bottom of the cabbage head and discard. Cut the quarters in small pieces or shred, whichever you prefer. Layer the cabbage in a large bowl with the salt. Cover the bowl with the lid and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Remove the cabbage from the refrigerator the next day and rinse well under cold running water to remove all the salty juice. Let the cabbage drain well in the colander.
Place the jars and lids in the dishwasher on regular cycle to wash and sterilize them. If you do not have a dishwasher, place them in a large pot of water and heat to boiling. Boil 10 minutes to sterilize. Fill the water bath pot half-full with water and place on the stove on medium high heat to get the water warm.
In a large pot, combine the vinegar, mustard seed, mace and sugar. Place the remaining spices in a spice bag and place in the vinegar mixture. Heat this mixture just to boiling.
Remove the jars from the dishwasher and place on the counter. Pack the jars tightly with the cabbage, pressing the cabbage down as you add it to the jars to remove any air bubbles. Fill the jars to just below the lid threads.
Ladle the hot vinegar juice into each jar, just covering the cabbage. Wipe the rim of the jar with the wet cloth and place a lid and ring on top of the jar. Tighten the ring tightly. Work quickly and fill all jars.
Place the jars in the water bath and heat to boiling. Boil for 20 minutes. Move the jars from the bath to the towel on the counter and let them cool. When they are cooled off, test the seal by pressing your fingertip to the center of the lid. If it stays pressed in, the jar is sealed and can be stored in the pantry. If the lid springs back to your touch, the jar is not sealed and will need to be stored in the refrigerator.

In continuation with my previous post, this is to share my personal experiences at Tokyo Design Week 2016. We had great fun and spent 7 hectic yet fruitful days there, showcasing my bag label GLUSH/, meeting new friends from around the world both inside and outside the business.
Apart from product designs, there are various fields of innovative works exhibited at the event, such as color changing electronic paper watches and materials by SONY, Virtual Reality experiences by Panasonic, architectural works by Japanese architects and university students, robotic performances by several engineering companies and manufacturers such as Murata. It was like a futuristic living exhibition, where holographic control panels are almost at every other booth. See photos from the slideshow above to see what we saw.
An interesting thing is that half of the people we have met at the event were from Taiwan, China, and US. Apparently there were a lot of staff at the tech-related booths who were hired for their Mandarin language skills. While a few business universities from Taiwan were exhibiting their final year students' business projects, where they all had to come up with a viable business idea and work it out with a year-long support from the institute. This enables students to be well prepared for the business environment before graduation, and continue to build the same business once they finish with school. It is such a great idea, I so wish I had this experience before I started my own business!
I would like to share with you a short video of what I saw at the event:

The Efficiency of Direct Public Involvement in Environmental Policymaking: An Experimental Test
In one of the most ambitious forms of environmental decision-making, representatives of interested parties – environmentalists, developers, farmers, loggers, miners, etc. - are charged with the responsibility of developing a set of public policies that is acceptable to all of them. Although this approach has become increasingly popular, and has been widely discussed in the academic literature, little is known about the characteristics of the outcomes that are reached in this type of negotiation. We do not know, for example, whether these outcomes meet the standard criteria for efficiency or equity. In this paper, we use laboratory experiments to test whether a number of axiomatic models of bargaining can predict the behavior of the parties to environmental decision making. In recognition of the multi-dimensional aspect of most public land use conflicts, we ask pairs of subjects to negotiate over two goods, without the possibility of cash side payments. We thus provide one of the first experimental tests of a prediction associated with the Edgeworth Box: that parties with an initial endowment that is Pareto inefficient will make trades until they reach a Pareto efficient allocation. We further test whether parties in particular reach the Nash bargain when it coincides with or conflicts with outcomes that maximise the parties' joint payoffs and with outcomes at which the parties' receive equal payoffs. Finally, the effect of providing parties with full or partial information regarding payoffs is also examined.

Five-Point Inspection: 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-2 50th Anniversario Edition
1. Pedigree
Like other Lambos the special 50th anniversary Gallardo has some pretty wild styling, though it's not as over-the-top radical as the Aventador, especially in Bianco Opalis, the car's shimmering white paint. Still, drivers of this model will most certainly be noticed by passersby.
This is a new version of company's best-selling vehicle, and not surprisingly it's built to celebrate the brand's 50th anniversary, which is this year. With rear-wheel drive and an available manual transmission it's truly the last "real man's" Lamborghini. This car's replacement will ONLY be offered with a dual-clutch automatic. Where's that sad-trombone sound effect? We need a symphony of them to decry this tragedy!
The car also features a racy looking carbon-fiber rear wing as well as light-weight bucket seats from the Gallardo Superleggera. A transparent engine cover is a treat to driver and bystander alike.

Awford: It's been a whirlwind
Caretaker boss Andy Awford said Portsmouth were shell-shocked after Will Atkinson and Barry Corr fired 10-man Southend to a 2-1 victory.
Last Updated: 27/11/13 5:05pm
Caretaker boss Andy Awford said Portsmouth were shell-shocked after Will Atkinson and Barry Corr fired 10-man Southend to a 2-1 victory.
Five years ago Pompey were drawing 2-2 with AC Milan in Europe but they are now managerless and sitting five points above the relegation zone in League Two.
Andy Barcham fired in a 20-yard thunderbolt after 90 seconds to send Fratton Park crazy but the home side then missed chances to extend their lead.
After Cauley Woodrow saw red for an elbow on Jed Wallace the Shrimpers sprung into life and turned the game on its head, with Will Atkinson firing under Trevor Carson with 15 minutes to go before Barry Corr headed the winner soon after.
Awford said: "It has been a whirlwind. I wish we could reverse that decision and Guy still be here as it has been very difficult.
"I got the call and for me it is a proud moment to manage the club as a caretaker but I would give that away if Guy was still in charge as he is a good friend.
"I changed a few things from the team Guy was going to play which upset a few people but you live and die by those decisions.
"We should have been out of sight as we missed two fantastic chances to put the game to bed.
"We could have been four in front before they had a man sent off. You cannot keep conceding like we are and it is not good enough. I am majorly disappointed.
"All hell broke loose for a few minutes after their first goal and we are shipping far too many goals. At 1-0 the concentration has to remain."

New Security Agreements Signed Today
The Governors of Arizona and Sonora have announced new action to stem the flow of illegal weapons and to capture fugitive felons in the United States and Mexico. Governor Janet Napolitano of Arizona and Governor Eduardo Bours Castelo of Sonora signed the agreements today in Phoenix at a meeting of the Arizona-Mexico Commission (AMC).
"Violence at the international border affects all of us," said Governor Napolitano. "These new plans allow an unprecedented level of cooperation between law enforcement officers on both sides of the border."
The first agreement, "eTrace," allows an exchange of training and information to effectively and efficiently trace firearms used to commit crimes on either side of the border. The agreement expands on the work of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) regarding how to identify guns, ammunition, and explosives; recover obliterated serial numbers on
guns; and to use the secure Web based program to record and exchange the information.
The existing program has already been effective: in 2007, 238 weapons - confiscated at crime scenes in Mexico - were traced back to Arizona. The expanded program will increase that enforcement work, with a particular focus on disrupting the organized arms trade. With the help of the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS), ATF and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the cities of Nogales and Douglas will pilot the program; the city of San Luis, Yuma County and the Tohono O'odham Nation will also participate.
"Our strong partnership with Arizona allows us to join forces in a way that truly benefits our entire region," said Sonora's Governor Bours. The second agreement builds on the felony fugitive warrant task force (VCAT, or Violent
Criminal Apprehension Team) created by Governor Napolitano in May. That Executive Order focused on tracking down violent felons in Arizona, particularly those involved in the smuggling of drugs and human beings.
Today's agreement extends the mission to also target felons in
Sonora. DPS will share with Sonora its secure database of felony warrants, and will train Sonoran law enforcement officers on identification, apprehension and extradition of U.S. felons located in Mexico. Sonoran law enforcement will do the same, sharing data, intelligence and training.
Copies of the agreements are attached.
The Governors took their action as part of the 2008 Summer Plenary Session of the Arizona- Mexico Commission. AMC was established in 1959 with the goal to facilitate cross-border communication, cooperation and development to improve the quality of life on both sides of the international border.

The main settings are at the school and at her house were all the drama happens. Someone she doesn't like is Angeline who always gets her sent to the principle. The book is just about Jamie's life, problems, and drama. I think that the book is funny it is funny because of all the comics. For example there's one where her dads weaken routine try to find a hammer try to fix a wobbly table leg then teach 40 new swear words to the neighborhood. I can't wait to see what happens next.

After debuting the games at last week's Game Developers Conference, French publisher releases brand-new assets and game details.
Champs sur Marne, France - March 7th, 2011 - Lexis Numérique, one of the biggest independent game design studios in Europe, today unveiled brand-new assets for Red Johnson's Chronicles and AMY, two upcoming PlayStation® Network titles recently debuted at the Game Developers Conference.
Red Johnson's Chronicles is a puzzle-based investigation/adventure game launching on PSN in May. In the game, players take on the role of Red Johnson, a private investigator on the streets of a dangerous city whose crime rate is skyrocketing. Tasked with investigating a murder, players must find clues, solve puzzles and question witnesses to solve the crime, all while staying out of harm's way. Players will also discover a world in which everything is dark, sharp and deadly - even humor. For additional Red Johnson's Chronicles updates, visit the official website www.red-thegame.com
AMY is a survival horror/adventure game for PSN being developed by Paul Cuisset, French creator of mythic games including 'Flashback' and the 'Moto Racer' series. The game takes place in 2034, when natural disasters around the world have wreaked havoc on humanity and unleashed a deadly virus that has infected almost everyone. The small town of Silver City (Midwest, USA) has been directly affected by a comet that has come crashing down. In the game, players take on the role of Lana, who regains consciousness in the city now infested with wild creatures and enemies. The world she once identified with seems to have been torn to Hell, and most of the people she knew have now become part of a wild horde. Lana feels the virus beginning to infect her and knows she must run as far as possible to escape the nightmare. The presence of Amy, a seemingly defenseless eight-year-old autistic girl who has curious powers, forces her to make choices that will affect both their lives. Together, they must fight or run from the aberrations, demons and the military in the hope of not only saving each other, but also the future of humanity.

This last point is interesting... it declares the problems of using an
othogonal format (more in some areas, less in other) as a base format.
We can decide to fail if there is not correct content BTW.
Why do I need to have html files?
First of all, I want to use a decent editor for the docs. Html has
gazillions of editors, and also the docs would be automatically
human-readable as-is, from source format, with a browser.
The second reason is because of getting ready to xhtml2. But that's xml,
so we can easily validate that.
After other thinking, the "ehtml" feature is not only for html. What's
this "feature"? Content pass-through. Yes, I know I was against it
(IIRC?) and that IIRC I said it was a big fat hole in the content
separation, but it's damn useful if used right, and it's not a hole.
Skins can still decide to bypass it! It's not something that Cocoon
de-facto pushes through, it's something that skins can decide to work
with. We can make mistakes, can we? ;-)

Drupal Meetup: Code-Driven Development powered by Ægir, GIT, and Drush
The perfect workflow for Drupal website development has proved as elusive as the proverbial Grail. Ideally, a manageable workflow would be to have as much code-driven development as possible. While Drupal 8 Configuration Management Initiative will get us closer to that ideal than ever before, it won't be perfect and we will still have to develop and maintain Drupal 7 websites for a few more years. Much of the latest efforts and discussion around Drupal development workflow has focused on code-driven strategies. Despite all the advancements, database configuration syncing still remains painful and error- prone. Features do not capture all the database configuration work and it can be somewhat time-consuming both to featurize in a proper modularized fashion and replicate the remainder.Read more

Use of Alternating Pressure Mattresses to Preserve Skin Integrity in the ICU
By: Kelsey C. & Amanda R.
Case Exemplar
A patient was admitted to the CVICU following complications during surgery. He had bilateral chest tubes, continuous CR monitoring, CVL, a foley catheter, and was sedated. While admitted, he developed stage III and stage IV pressure ulcers even with repositioning every two hours.
Significance of Quality Issue
-"For the individual patient, the impact can be considerable, leading to physical, psychological and social issues in addition to the financial impact (Gorecki et al, 2009). Pressure ulcers on the heel can result in increased length of hospital stay and even the loss of the limb due to infection, and potential development of osteomyelitis (Burdette-Taylor and Kass, 2002). (Masterson & Younger, 2014)."
-One study found that the use of alternating pressure mattresses or overlay air mattresses in combination with a regular turning/repositioning schedule reduced the onset of pressure ulcers in patients on ventilators in the medical surgical ICU by 48.6%, when compared to patients only on a turning/repositioning schedule (Manzano, F., Perez, A., Colmenero, M., Aguilar, M., Sanchez-Cantalejo, E., Reche, A., & Fernandez-Mondejar, E., 2013).
-The use of the Braden Scale in combination with daily head to toe skin assessments upon admission and monitoring the effect of sedation on patient mobility decreased the occurrence of nosocomial pressure ulcers by 19% (Wolverton, C., Hobbs, L., Beeson, T., Benjamin, M., Campbell, K., Forbes, C., & White, S., 2005).
Financial- In 2006, the average hospital charge per patient with a pressure ulcer was $48,000 (Brem. H, Maggi, J., Nierman, D., Rolnitzky, L., Bell, D., Rennert, R., Golinko, M., Yan, A., Lyder, C., Vladeck, B., 2010).
Physical- Life threatening consequences such as sepsis and multi-system organ failure may occur as a result from pressure ulcers (Masterson & Younger, 2014).
Organizational Plan
-Complete head to toe skin assessment with 2 RNs upon admission.
-Individualized assessment to identify risk and specialty mattress requirements.
-Continuous monitoring of necessary sedation with adjustments to patient care based on mobility.
-Implementation of Braden score assessment upon admission and every shift.
(Woverton, C., Hobbs, L., Beeson, T., Benjamin, M., Campbell, K., Forbes, C., & White, S., 2005).
SWOT Analysis
-Updated education and knowledge of nursing staff
-Individualized patient-centered care
-Open communication & collaboration within the interdisciplinary team.
-Good patient advocacy
-Inadequate nursing staff to meet patient needs
-Decreased budget allowance
-Staff burnout
-Patient inability to participate in care
-Prompt initial assessment
-Individualized risk reduction strategy
-Education improvement
-Opportunity for staffing involvement in quality improvement committees
-Employee rejection of new strategies
-Available resources
-Adequate funding for staff education
QSEN Competencies
Evidence Based Practice- A combination of a routine turning schedule and use of alternating pressure mattress or mattress overlay led to greater improvement in patient outcomes regarding pressure ulcer formation (Manzano, F. et al, 2013).
Teamwork & Collaboration- Collaboration among all health care disciplines leads to success and planning strategies to prevent, treat, or heal pressure ulcers (Baranoski, 2002).
Nursing Implications
An RN education program was used to address key areas of guideline methods, epidemiology of pressure ulcers, etiology, pathophysiology, risk factor assessment, ulcer staging, preventative equipment and documentation. The education increased the accurate identification of pressure ulcer risk resulting in improved prevention strategies.
(Tweed, C., Tweed, M., 2008)
Overwhelming evidence supports the combined use of regular turning and repositioning schedules in conjunction with alternating pressure mattresses or overlay air mattresses has significantly reduced the onset of pressure ulcers in the ICU.
(Manzano, et al., 2013)
Collaboration and consistency among interdisciplinary health care professionals has been shown to improve wound healing in the hospitalized patient by up to 65%.
(Baranoski, S., 2002)
Implementation of admission assessments and Braden score in conjunction with individualized risk assessment to determine patient need and application of specialty mattresses to mobility impaired ICU patients.
(Wolverton & Hobbs, 2005)
Literature Review
Using Alternating Pressure Mattress to Offload Heels in ICU-
This article talks about the anatomy & physiology of the heel specifically and what the different overall risk factors for developing a pressure ulcer are, especially for patients who are critically ill. It evaluates the Nimbus 4 alternating pressure mattress and its effectiveness in preventing heel ulcers. None of the patients who used this bed developed pressure ulcers.
The Pegasus Overture Alternating-Pressure Mattress Overlay-
This article discusses the Pegasus Overture which is an overlay that is put over the existing mattress and how it is successful in preventing pressure ulcers in patients who are deemed to be at medium risk. It also discusses how the mattress is acceptable to patients in terms of comfort, and how nurses say it is easy to use.
High Cost of Stage IV Pressure Ulcers-
This journal discusses the the research study that was conducted in order to calculate and analyze the average cost of stage IV pressure ulcers. This includes the cost of nursing care, dressing changes, medications, malpractice lawsuits, debridement & surgical procedures, office visits, etc. It also mentions what other co-morbidities are associated with pressure ulcers.
Proficare (R): An Alternating Pressure Relieving Mattress-
This article discusses specifically how the Proficare (R) mattress works, and how it can be used for pressure ulcer prevention and treatment. It discusses the research conducted on the mattress and how patients who had established pressure ulcers evaluated the mattress. Before and after pictures and assessments were done, and all of the patients' ulcers demonstrated healing, one even closed completely within the 8 week period.
SMART Criteria
By June 1, 2015, implementation of nursing staff educational seminars on Braden Scale and individual risk factors assessments to identify patient need for specialty mattresses and overlays to prevent pressure ulcer development will take place. Nursing staff will demonstrate competencies in accurate assessment and implementation of the plan to provide specialty mattresses and overlays to patients according to individual need assessment. By December 1, 2015 all critical and intensive care nursing staff will apply knowledge from the seminar to identify need for specialty mattresses and utilize the mattresses in combination with frequent repositioning to decrease incidence of pressure ulcers in the ICU.

Windfarm Concept Inspired by Schools of Fish
Hamish Pritchard at BBC News explains that although the vertical-axis turbines are "less efficient individually than the propeller-style turbines, they are able to use turbulent winds from many directions." The technology is currently being tested in the California desert by engineers from CalTech.
The "school of fish" influence is reflected in the momentum gained, rather than lost, by clumping the turbines close together. Current blades are less efficient when close together because of turbulence, but the new turbines benefit from the funneled wind because they can gather gusts from all directions. The next step for CalTech's team is to see if the effect will work on a larger scale.


text: Received the cinch about 2 weeks ago and really enjoy this product. Yes, it is simple to use to make journals and other book type crafts, but at first you need to get rid of the oil that is on the inside of the machine. You just keep puching scrap paper for awhile (all 12 pegs) until you don't see anymore oil. It sounds like a long drawn out procedure, but it's not. After that, you're good to go. Always practice with leftover paper before you punch the real thing. Once you get the hang of lining up the holes it's easy. I'm making a 6x6 , 8x8 journal right now and it's really fun. It's like making a smash journal, you can add whatever you want to it to personalize for yourself or for gifts. I'm going to make a few for Christmas gifts this year. Everyone likes a journal. Try this product, it's fun and creative !!! If you do get stuck and need advice about using this, go to you tube. The videos will help you if you need it. Thanks :) Have fun with it !!!
