Prices for marten and lynx were up considerably from a few years ago at the fur table in Thompson Dec. 17-18, which meant that the trappers there selling them walked away with more cash for Christmas shopping.
The price for marten was $75 per pelt this season, up about 55 per cent from the $48.33 they were worth in December 2009. As a result, marten sales brought in $303,000 for trappers, $106,718 more than two years, ago, despite the fact that slightly fewer pelts changed hands - 4,040 in 2011 compared to 4,061 in 2009.
Lynx prices - $125 per pelt at the most recent fur table compared to $77.52 in 2009 - jumped 60 per cent, meaning that trappers realized revenues of $11,250 on sales of 90 lynx this year, $4,040 more than in 2009, when 93 were sold for $7,210.
The value of all the fur that traded hands over the two-day event was $345,843.50, more than 50 per cent higher than in 2009, when $228,289 worth of fur was sold.
Anticipation of such prices resulted in a higher first-day turnout of trappers than the fur table has seen recently, said Cherry White, administrator/treasurer of the Manitoba Trappers Association, which organizes the annual event, though overall there were just 11 more trappers this season than in 2009, when there were 168. This was despite the fact that trapping conditions have not been ideal.
"The weather conditions were poor last year," said White. "They're not that great his year but the word on the street seems to be that fur prices will be better so our trap sales have been very brisk and we've seen a fair amount of activity on the traplines. For the trappers that don't have access, they have to go across a lake or something, it's a little tough. Then if you get too much snow and the swamps don't freeze properly, that's just as bad because then, you know, the creeks don't freeze properly."
Winnie Shlachetka of Wabowden and her husband Brian were among the trappers with pelts to sell on Dec. 18 and they concurred with White's assessment of the conditions.
"We had a late season this year," said Winnie Shlachetka, who does most of her trapping just outside Wabowden at Halfway Lake. "Couldn't get out by the lake and that. Had to mostly trap on the road. It's a lot harder to trap along the highway, in the bush along the highway and that, as opposed to getting out onto the lake. We couldn't get out on the lake until close to, more to the end of November whereas before we were able to get on there before November."
Despite the difficulties, their harvest was still pretty good.
"Lots of wolves, marten, lynx," said Brian Shlachetka, who's been trapping off and on for about 10 years, and had five wolf pelts to sell. "Hopefully I get 200 bucks each."
Prices ended up lower than that, as 31 timber wolf pelts were sold for $125. Wolverines, which the Shlachetkas also had, fetched the highest price per pelt at $150 apiece, though only 11 changed hands at the fur table.
Buyers were happy to see more traffic than last year, too.
"We're very pleased with what we're seeing," said David Bewick, vice-president of Canadian wild fur operations for North American Fur Auctions, one of two consignment buyers at the fur table, along with Fur Harvesters, while the cash buyers were Bruno De Cesco of Thompson and a North West Company representative. "A lot more fur than a year ago, obviously more trappers, and I think that's a sign that the market has picked up a little bit over last year at this time and it looks like it's going to hold up another season. It would appear that there's bigger bunches of marten here, there's still a lot of people sitting here, but there seems to be more sable. The quality of the sable looks pretty good this year."
Price expectation play a role in how many pelts there are at the fur table, with trappers more inclined to get on their traplines if they think that higher prices will make it worth their while.
"I think they've just been a little more aggressive this year," said Bewick. "I think the conditions were good. They didn't start off good because they didn't get the ice and the snow but now they have good ice, they can travel, the snow is coming and, from what I'm hearing, there's a lot of marten around. It was down significantly last year but this year so far looks like it's ahead of last year."
White said from what she'd seen that the wolf population must be doing well in Manitoba.
"I've seen quite a few wolves, some of them in better shape than others," she observed. "The wolf population seems to be up. In our area (Lac du Bonnet) they've closed the moose season partly because of wolf predation but here it doesn't seem to be a problem so far. As long as the trappers keep the population stable by harvesting some of them, should be OK."
Bewick said early indicators pointed toward fur prices staying high at least for a season.
"We've seen some very positive results from some ranch sales in Scandinavia," he said. "Copenhagen just finished up a sale. The prices for ranch mink were very firm until last February which is a good indication. A lot of Chinese, some Russian attendants, Korea, so all the major markets are in the game. They're hungry for furs. I think Greece will still be an important player in the whole scheme of things and North America, too."
While full-length fur coats may go in and out of style, Bewick says there's always a demand for fur trim.
"There's a lot of trimming business in North America right now, especially with the coyotes on parkas, you know the Canada Goose," Bewick said. "Every parka gets a nice coyote trim on the hood so that market's doing very well. Anything else for trimming, too, the heavy sable, the foxes, the raccoon, the lynx, a lot of it's going to trimming. It's amazing how much fur you go through when you're trimming something."
White, who's been up to Thompson for the fur table for at least the past 15 years, says she isn't sure how many more she'll attend, but admits she feels that way every year.
"Every year I say this is my last year and then of course you come up and you see old friends and all the trappers and it renews your faith in the trapping industry but one of these days we'll have to call it quits, let some younger people take over," she said. "Nearly all of our directors are senior citizens unfortunately."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Rep. Kristi Noem says the threat of human sex trafficking needs more attention from Congress and police.
Noem says she used to see such trafficking as a problem only in parts of Europe or southeast Asia. But she says people are being exploited every day, including in her home state of South Dakota.
Noem spoke at a congressional subcommittee hearing Wednesday that focused on ways to fight human trafficking. She has made it a signature issue, working on legislation to address the issue. Earlier this week she hosted an event focused on the issue in South Dakota.
Noem says it's important to find new approaches to the issue and make sure survivors are protected and perpetrators are prosecuted.

|Mr. Iain Paterson
Chairman of the Sustainable Development Committee (SDC)
Over recent years, MOL Group has evolved and its operations have become more international and more complex. How is this reflected in MOL's SD approach and the Board's perspective?
MOL Group entered a new phase in sustainability when in 2010 it became a listed company in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index. In 2011, new strategic business directions were identified and, finally, due to personnel changes in the Board, the composition of the SDC also changed. So we updated the Committee Charter and agreed on a new direction: making progress in the 6 strategic focus areas and in the performance of our business divisions and subsidiaries. Moreover, we also aim to pay more attention to ensuring effective implementation of policies and tools such as our Code of Ethics and the new HSE and Social Impact Policy.
In 2011 MOL refreshed its group-level HSE Policy by adding social impact criteria. How can you ensure it is effectively implemented?
A policy remains only a nice piece of paper if it is not translated into tangible outcomes in the action and behaviour of individuals. The Board of Directors receives regular reports on the HSE performance of MOL Group, which includes details on significant incidents, key performance indicators and our main projects. Moreover, as 'Health and Safety' and 'Environment' are two important sustainability focus areas, we request that progress reports are compiled for the SD Committee meetings. And do not forget that one of the topics of the regular business division and company reports is HSE performance. Besides the Lost-Time Injury Frequency which remains a KPI in the incentive scheme for all managers within the Group, through concentrating on the above-mentioned focus areas we aim to express our sensitivity towards, and moreover start to really manage, the impacts of our operations on the affected social environment.
What kind of sustainability issues and challenges will be in focus for 2012?
We have long-term sustainability targets which define the main directions for the ongoing business year. To pick some examples: energy efficiency projects will be continued or launched at several sites; the roll-out of different safety programs (e.g. process, work, road and contractor safety) will be also continued; in Százhalombatta we plan to commence the construction of a biogas plant and our R&D programme for biofuels will continue as well. Regarding human capital related issues, we will carry on implementing various competency-development programs and tailor our systems to deal with the more international nature of our operations. Furthermore, a modified version of the Code of Ethics was recently issued and we (as members of the SD Committee) requested a report on the status of its implementation by the end of the year.
How do you evaluate performance in 2011 in the light of sustainability objectives?
Regarding safety, which is our first priority, I have ambivalent feelings. The Lost Time Injury Frequency was lower than for previous years and close to our long-term target objective (1.23, compared to our target of 1), and the majority of the accidents which happened were not technology-related but rather minor injuries caused as a result of slips and trips.
But, unfortunately, fatal incidents which were connected with MOL Group's activities also occurred, which is unacceptable. Most of the environmental targets were met, and the numerous HR-related awards we received during the year are a reliable validation of the ongoing investment into MOL's human capital.
Which sustainability challenge are you personally the most concerned about?
The key challenge is how humanity can more intelligently preserve the world's resources for future generations.
The human race will only be able to survive if productive land, water and other natural resources are preserved. However, I would like to highlight the word "intelligent": we should act in a conscious and systematic way to safeguard resources and be sure to not forget to pay attention to social development.

Hey! That's me in Paper Magazine!
Alice + Olivia Presentation SS12
A lot of color and patterns in this collection, making it feel youthful, bright and fun. My two favorite pieces were the gold embellished tee and the long gold v-neck sequined dress. I also loved the beaded tank dress, but hot pink is not my color. Some girls can pull it off, but I definitely cannot. I bet it would look killer in black!
I loved the variety in hairstyles amongst the girls and it was great to see some bright, colorful eye makeup. The makeup look was created by Sarah Lucero and Viviana Martin for Stila. I love this metallic teal shadow.
The Joy Cioci Red Lip
1. Line the lips with NARS lip pencil in Jungle Red
2. Fill in the lips with NARS Velvet Matte Pencil in Red Square
3. Apply NARS Semi Matte Lipstick in Heatwave over the lined and filled lips.

Welcome to Food & Fashion, a project where I, along with my good friend and fellow food lover Aziz Ansari, hit up five of our favorite restaurants in NYC and dressed for the occasion. Today's post is about our trip to Momofuku Noodle Bar. Appropriately, we both devoured a ton of ramen in clothes we purchased on respective trips to Japan. Read below for a full recap of our delicious meal and a breakdown of our looks. Photos by Noah Kalina.
171 1st. Ave. New York, New York 10003
At this point, we all know and love the Momofuku restaurants, but it's still great to go back and see what new tricks they have up their sleeves. I currently dig the Noodle Bar lunch menu mainly because of these super amazing beef brisket buns. I'd never had these shiitake buns but they were dope too.
beef brisket buns
By the way- just because I like whiskey cocktails so much - you must go to Ssam Bar and have the Penicillin there. They really kill it. One of those and a mackerel sandwich? That's a fine meal. Also, I hear amazing things about the new duck dinner.
In honor of Momofuku's delicious ramen, Anna asked me to wear something from Japan. I've been incredibly lucky to have went to Tokyo over the last two Christmas holidays. Its my favorite city to be in along with NYC. I love the food, the cocktails, and particularly the clothes. Why? Because not only are the suits and clothes just super sharp, but Japanese clothes are actually made with small framed men such as myself in mind. None of this, "Well sir… maybe you could try an XL in boys?" talk in Japan.
On both trips, I spent an insane amount of time shopping at Isetan for Men, which is a very famous, super amazing department store in Tokyo (there is also a killer food court in the basement floor too). Trying on suits at Isetan is the most fun shopping experience ever. One, the suits are really great and even lil' Aziz can wear it off the rack, and two, its hilarious having super nice Japanese people help you find the perfect suit even though they don't speak any English at all. I fell in love with one lady that helped me in 2010. I don't know her name, never understood a word she said, and I don't know how the relationship would ever work long distance with her being in Tokyo, but I'd like to think we'll end up together one day.
This suit I'm wearing is from Isetan's line, Creator's Cut. At Isetan they always give you the option of getting your name monogrammed inside the jacket. I got A. Ansari in mine, but I kind of wished I put in something else like J. Statham just to make people wonder if I stole my suit from Jason Statham and then got it tailored to fit me. Next time!
momofuku ramen - pork belly, pork shoulder, poached egg
Momofuku is known for being a hard place for vegetarians to eat, but when we got there the chef had prepared a shiitake bun with no meat for me! Major brownie points for that move. The ginger scallion noodles reminded me of my trip to Japan three summers ago and I have to agree with Aziz, it is pretty much the coolest city ever. The food was great, but the shopping was OUT OF CONTROL!! I went crazy. Everything fit me. Nothing was weird shaped or boxy. It was a dream come true. I spent most of my money in the Harajuku district buying Little Bo Peep CosPlay outifts. Wait, no I didn't, but I did buy that amazing dress from the photo at a store called Yellow 96. That dress might be the best purchase I ever made. I wear it all the time and I always get compliments on it. The people of Japan are so incredibly warm and I felt really cool when the sales girls gave me little gifts every time I visited the store. Yeah, I went multiple times in 10 days, but that is of no concern to you.

Suit - Isetan for Men, Creator's Cut

Honor SS12
The NARS makeup team for Honor was lead by James Boehmer. His inspiration for the look among Tiggy and Penelope Tree was dolls. But not delicate dolls that sit on a shelf, he specified. This look is the doll you love, the one you play with, the one that's a little worn and rough around the edges.
skin: NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20
eye liner: NARS Black Moon pencil liner, NARS Larger Than Life Long Wear Eyeliner in Rue Bonaparte
eye shadow: NARS Blush in Doucuer (used as eyeshadow), NARS Larger Than Life Long Wear Eyeliner in Santa Monica Boulevard (used as shadow)
lips: NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Valprasio used as a stain
First, the skin was prepped with Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer. Next the lashes were drawn onto the lower lash line using Black Moon. A bit of loose power was dusted over the lashes followed by 12 to 15 coast of mascara to give the eyes a clumpy, doll-like effect. Next Doucer blush was used a a shadow on the crease and Santa Monica Boulevard liner was smudged onto the center of the lids using the finger. Rue Bonaparte eyeliner was applied to the inner rim of the lower lid and Valprasio was applied with the finger as a stain to the lips.

Monique Lhuillier SS12
The lead makeup artist for the Monique Lhuillier show was Jal Garland for MAC. Her look was inspired by the urban, fast-paced, sporty woman. When I spoke with her, Garland highlighted that this allusion of quick, forward motion would be represented in the eyes. Aerodynamic swooshed black and blue liner dramatically stretches toward the hairline as if it's being pulled back by speed itself.
Face and Body foundation was applied over well moisturized skin and slightly contour was given under the cheekbone using Sand Brown and Malaysia Contour Creme.
For the eyes, Pro Black Creme Liner was applied in a very straight line. A think line of Marine Ultra Chromacake was applied hugging the black liner and then returning in a straight line through the crease.
The lips were left natural, with a bit of lip balm.
Garland gave this tip: Apply all detail makeup first, i.e. the eyes, and then go back and perfect the skin after. That way if you need to touch up any small mistakes on the detail areas you don't effect the foundation in the process.

PLAYERS: Ryan Callahan, John Tortorella
TEAMS: New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers
TEAMS: New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers
The Rangers could be looking at some time without one of their best players. Captain Ryan Callahan suffered what appeared to be a pretty painful left arm injury Tuesday night in the third period of New York's 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Callahan took exception to a little extracurricular activity from Philly's Max Talbot around the Rangers net, and the two ended up dropping the gloves. It's unclear where exactly Callahan got injured, but you can see in replays that there were a couple of awkward grappling instances that could have led to the injury. Even Talbot seemed to know something was wrong, as Talbot pulled up toward the end of the fight. Callahan skated off the ice right away and into the New York locker room following the fight. Rangers head coach John Tortorella had "no idea" when Callahan would be able to return, according to ESPN.com. The Rangers are slated to return to practice Wednesday at noon. See the fight and injury in the video below.

Potentially AHL-bound during this season's training camp, Dougie Hamilton has shown drastic improvements in his game. Despite rotating playing time with other Boston blueliners Adam McQuaid and Matt Bartkowski, Hamilton has made the most of his opportunities.
He showed off his offensive prowess on Wednesday night, scoring the game-winning goal against the rival Buffalo Sabres on a beautiful rush.
Early in the season, Hamilton has thrived with his breakout passes and overall play in the offensive zone. While he certainly needs to build a stronger frame and be tougher on the puck, he has been a lot more physical this season, establishing his NHL presence.
The jump from Junior to professional hockey can be tough on any player, particularly defensemen with a slender build- like Hamilton.
Bruins fans must be patient with the teenaged Larry Bird look-a-like, who certainly has star-in-the-making pedigree.
Hamilton played a solid first two periods of Thursday's game against the San Jose Sharks.
However, the Bruins, working with heavy legs on their second night of a back-to-back, going against an elite, well-rested San Jose team, were getting buried with shots all game long. Hamilton handled the pressure well for the first two periods, using a quick stick to thwart opportunities and strong breakout passes to turn play the other way.
In the third, the general fatigue seemed to catch up to Hamilton and the rest of the Bruins.
Poor net-coverage led to equalizer, as Hamilton and Dennis Seidenberg failed to get the puck out, leading to an eventual rebound goal for Patrick Marleau. It was an own-zone scramble for all of the Bruins, who were chasing rather than dictating play.
Jarome Iginla had initially given Boston a 1-0 lead on his first goal as a Bruins.
At times it's easy to notice Hamilton get out-muscled for a loose puck, but he often rebounds with an active stick and ability to make up for mistakes with terrific mobility. Getting stronger is essential for any potential stardom, but it's hard to not to like everything else about his game- that size, plus the skating, you don't see that often.
The Bruins defeated the Sharks 2-1, scoring a literal last second goal with only .8 left on the clock. One of the most exciting victories on the young season, the goal came on a David Krejci tip after a monsterous shift by Milan Lucic- who continues his dominant pace this season.
"When you're coaching the team that won you say, 'Good job' to your team because I thought we did a good job of – we use the term weathering the storm," said Bruins coach Claude Julien after the game.
"In that first period, they had their game plan, it was to come out at us hard and really put us on our heels for a team that played and traveled the night before. They had a great game plan and Tuukka [Rask] just stood tall and kept us in the game. So we managed to score that first goal, I thought our second period was a little better after we found our legs. So overall, it becomes one of those things where you enjoy the fact that your team found a way to win and never quit. So I'm not going to stand here and say we were the better team tonight but we were the team that won."
Rask certainly had his best game of the season, saving 38 of 39 San Jose shots, with some beauties to say the least.
While Hamilton was a big factor in San Jose's lone goal, he continues to show drastic improvements in his game and should only get better.
While some may cling to the belief that top-line big minutes at the AHL level would be best for the young defensemen, as long as he continues to play well he should see continued reps in Boston's lineup.
It'll be fun to see how the former ninth overall pick progresses this season.

Harper and Harley Beauty Bag
Posted on December 29th, 2011
I sometimes get asked what my makeup regime is so I thought I would share with you some of my favourite products.
Foundation:MAC Mineralize Satinfinish with SPF 15.
I like to keep things looking pretty natural and it's important to remember that foundation is meant to even out the skin, not create a new one. I like to mix my foundation with either a moisturizer or a primer. This makes it less heavy, creates a dewy complexion and also makes the foundation last a lot longer.
Powder: MAC Pressed.
This is perfect for taking away the shine, setting my foundation and can be used on it's own if I don't feel like putting a foundation underneath.
Bronzer:Napoleon Bronze Patrol.
I love this because it has bronzer and highlighter swirls through it. So not only can I apply along the cheekbones, but I can get also get a brush and pick up the highlight sections and apply it just below the brow and in the inner corners of the eye to make me look more awake.
Highlighter: Nars illuminator in Copacabana.
This is going to last me a lifetime! Although it can be used straight on the skin, I like to mix it was some moisturizer so can create a more dewy highlighter.
Concealer:YSL touche elcat.If you haven't tried this before - you must try it! changes lives.
Eyeliner:Napoleon Perdis Liquid eyeliner pen.
This is a godsend! I love a liquid liner with a wing as I like to widen my eyes appearance. This eyeliner had a pointed pen shape which makes it so much easier than the normal brush.
Body Moisturiser: KiehlsI love this moisturizer, it keeps my skin refreshed for the whole day.
Lip balm:Maybeline Baby LipsOne of the best lip balms I've tried and it honestly does feel like baby lips after.
Nail Polish. Bloom in Toni.
This colour is great for day to day natural colour. It also dries very quickly which is handy!
Star Product:Nutrimetics Nutri Clear.
This is my secret weapon. If I have a blemish coming through i'l put this on before going to bed, and when I wake up it's gone! so so good.
Hair: Moroccan Oil.
When I had long hair it was so unhealthy, so this time around I'm going to be keeping my ends split free and Moroccan Oil is amazing! It also smells delish!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Personally, I think the totem system could use a little bit of an overhaul. The only thing that continues to keep me from playing a shaman and sticking with it past the 40-50 range is the constant re-applying of totems. This was made better when they introduced the Call abilities so you could summon your set of totems on the spot, however it still erks me:
I really dislike re-buffing for every pull because I moved down a hallway a smidge. What other class has to wait a GCD to buff before beginning their rotation to start opening up on a group of mobs?
My idea is this: make the totems into little elemental spirits, that you can imbue in the group as a timed buff (Spirit of Earth, or just Strength of Earth, etc) or have the spirits exist, floating around and with the shaman. Some abilities--like earthbind, magma, searing, etc, would be different. Ideally, you could place them where you wanted at range like you can with hunter pets new 'go' command, or the spirits could sit in their designated spot for those few active totems.
The class is all about spirits, and it somewhat disturbs me anyway that there isn't enough spiritual-activity in a class DEFINED by spirit communication--bit of win-win there, in my opinion. However I'm sure many people would hate to see totems be removed from the game altogether--especially now that their art has been re-done.
Just me nit-picking.
Ugh. wtb edit button. What I ws saying is that no boss in a pre-lvl 50 situation lasts long enough to make it worth dropping with the current level of dps that characters can drop. About the only place thats worth dropping them is SM, with the halls that have mobs in the side rooms, and the Cathedral.
@razion - shaman aren't for you. Play Paladin or a Mage. The Totem mechanic doesn't need a revamp. Recasting totems in a fight is what makes a shaman a shaman. What Shaman need is to either up their damage to keep up in the raid better. To have Totem range upped (100 yards) or in general, make the cost of recasting totems (in the terms of dps loss) less crippling.
I like the idea of using spirits instead of totems, but I think shouldn't happen for 2 reasons. 1. I think it would ruin the theme of shamans 2. It would make my shaman's name meaningless lol (Iwintotem).
Also as a tip, don't use totems for quick aoe trash unless needed or your the type of guy that likes to get as much damage he possibly can on quick trash pull even if it gets him or the group killed (I know someone like that, wasn't too fun grouping with him =/) but unless your fight is going to last more then a few seconds, like a boss or a trash pull with a mob that has a lot of health.
I think that is more so when leveling since it eats your mana up to be dropping them all the time and will force you to take a chug of the spring water after every swing, which is never fun =/.
Pyromelter said...
I have to agree with NBG. As much as I bashed on totems yesterday for being subpar, I don't think removing them is the way to go. Just up the ceiling on shaman dps so that it is legitimately competitive or even slightly overpowered. Fire nova with magma/searing is pretty fun, fire ele, earth ele... there's still some fun in that playstyle.

Louise was my mother's neighbor on Velasco Street in Dallas and we enjoyed visiting with her and sharing her love of painting. I am sorry to read of her passing away. Louise and I started writing one another several years ago and I enjoyed getting her letters. She always had something positive to say and she encouraged me with my watercolor painting. I will miss her terribly. I will be thinking of the family during your time of sorrow. Jacque Wacker & family
Mary Ann Johnson
Louise and I carpooled to China painting classes years ago---she was a wonderful talented lady that I thoroughly enjoyed knowing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Mary Ann Johnson

Wednesday evening the power was still out for more than 22,000 statewide.
Georgia Power still has 2,200 homes and businesses in southwest Georgia without power Wednesday.
Mitchell EMC now has less than a hundred customers out and Water, Gas, and Light customers all had power as of Tuesday night. That means at this hour some homes have been without power for 30 hours.
It's making some very uncomfortable, but power crews are working as hard as they can to restore power by midnight Wednesday.
About three o'clock Wednesday afternoon we saw about a dozen bucket trucks, an outside contractor, come in to help Georgia Power customers get back on line. Customers we found that still didn't have power are getting creative about dealing without. @
Off Tarva Road in Dougherty County, Mitchell EMC crews were still re-stringing power lines.
"They're tired but they're still working," said Evera Moye, Mitchell EMC.
Some worked through the night. Today the provider called for reinforcements from two neighboring EMC's. The problem is, when they reach a fallen line, they move the tree, to find they've got to replace the pole and the impact is minimal.
"When you get one power line up, you get two consumers back on, so it just takes a while," said Moye.
It's a sight many on Clear Lake Road in Baker County are waiting to see. Joyce Spurlock a Georgia Power customer was still without power at noon.
"We're not going to complain, we're out of our comfort zone a little bit, but thank God we do have a house to live in," said Spurlock. With limbs still on the lines, she was creative about getting ready for work, at work.
"I grabbed all my hair doing stuff and all my make up and stuff and just dried my hair down there," said Spurlock. There are new rules at the house.
"No refrigerator opening and no freezer opening, just trying to keep everything closed so we can keep what we do have," said Moye.
It was her mother in law instead of power crews to the rescue.
"She does have a generator we're going to hook up to my home," said Spurlock.
They'll be watching anxiously for crews like those working in Dougherty County to come their way. Power companies reminded us, for those without power, they say items in your freezer and refrigerators are still good for 48 hours if you aren't opening the door.
They hoped to have nearly everyone with power before then. Good weather Wednesday helped crews restore power to many customers.
Georgia Power brought in an additional 500 out-of-state crews to help with their cleanup.

Seeds Dominate On Day 2
Published October 19, 2010 12:00
LUXEMBOURG, Luxembourg - All five seeds in first round action Monday at the BGL BNP Paribas Luxembourg Open were victorious in straight sets, including fifth-seeded Daniela Hantuchova, who continues to have her way with Jill Craybas.
After splitting the first 10 games, Hantuchova only lost one game the rest of the way in her 75 61 defeat of Craybas, a lucky loser here. That raised her career record against the American to 6-0, with all six of the matches being decided in straight sets.
"The first match on a different surface is never easy," said Hantuchova, who last week in the Linz quarterfinals lost to eventual runner-up Patty Schnyder. "Jill is a good player with a lot of experience, so I was glad to win in two sets."
Hantuchova, who is playing this event for the eighth time with her best result being a run to the final in 2007, commented on her season as a whole.
"It hasn't been a disaster or a bad season. Also, it hasn't been great," she said. "I was almost injury-free, except for the shoulder now. I lost some matches I should have won. It's been okay."
Hantuchova's potential quarterfinal opponent, No.1 seed and 2008 Luxembourg champion Elena Dementieva, also advanced Monday, but was tested by Peng Shuai. The Russian, who will compete in next week's season-ending WTA Championships - Doha 2010, was down 5-1 in the second set, reeled off 12 straight points, then had four sets points against her while down 5-4, but eventually held serve and closed out the match, 75 76(3).
Other seeds moving on were second-seeded Aravane Rezai, seventh-seeded Jarmila Groth and eighth-seeded Julia Goerges. Groth had the easiest win of the trio, disposing of Tathiana Garbin, 62 62. The Australian had lost three of four matches since winning her first career title in Guangzhou last month, but now appears to be back on track.
Wednesday's schedule of play is highlighted by last week's Linz champion, Ana Ivanovic, against Johanna Larsson, and Yanina Wickmayer versus Schnyder.

According to the channel, the show will focus on crime cases arising out of obsession, jealousy, adoption scams to kidnapping or extortion, domestic abuse to marital rape, from juvenile crimes to cases of extreme ragging, from serial killers to brutal rapists. Producer Niret Alva says,"The show needed a host who not only had a strong personality but was smart thinking and had a questioning mind set to bring to life a role that's much more than that of a regular Sutradhar. In Sharad, we've found an actor, who lends himself completely to the role."

Stop fretting over election results. Prepare for the worst sentence you'll read this week: a 10-year-old girl gave birth to a baby in Spain this week.
Yes, a baby had a baby.
In a world where 30-year-old women with good jobs, spouses, and a 401K can't seem to get pregnant, these stories of young kids in untenable situations rankle. They're not good news ... for anyone.
That this girl wasn't raped -- the father was another underage child -- only softens the blow slightly. But tipping the scales back in the other direction is news that pregnancies among kids are fairly common in her native Romania, and her family was seemingly OK with the pregnancy.
Kids should not be having kids. It isn't just about who will support the child, who will care for the child, or even how they can handle this mentally.
There is a physicality to getting pregnant that we grown women can't handle in certain situations. Women with kidney conditions, endometriosis, heart disease, certain cancers, and a host of other conditions are often told not to even try getting pregnant because it could put a strain on their body. Sure, sometimes we do it anyway, but we know exactly what we're getting into.
So what happens when a child gets pregnant? They're putting themselves at the biggest risk of all. According to the March of Dimes, the death rate from pregnancy complications is significantly higher for girls who are pregnant under the age of 15 than among older teenagers. The teens are likewise at higher risk for high blood pressure and anemia, and with her bones still developing, she puts herself at higher risk for osteoporosis down the line.
The risks are increased for the baby too. There are higher incidences of central nervous system, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal/integumental anomalies in the fetuses of a pregnant teen than a woman 20 to 34. Teens are more likely to give birth prematurely, and more likely to produce a low-birthweight baby.
The 10-year-old in Spain somehow managed to produce a 6-pound, 4-ounce baby, who reports say are healthy. But there's no doubt her life is changed forever.

Awful! that poor girl! And that poor baby!
how sad for this ten yr old girl.... I had my son at 20, twice her age, and i still struggle to cope with the reality of our situation, i cant imagine how this girl may, or will feel.
That's just awful. I hadn't even started my period until I was 14, and I certainly was not mature enough to be a mother.
that's completely scary and shameful.
so sad.
thats sad i was 10 when i got my 1st period
diffren countries do things diffrently not condoneing but not judgeing ..
I started my period when I was 8.. but didnt have sex til I was 18 and didnt get pregnant til I was 19....thats just so sad
OMG! I was 11 when I got my first period! I was a teen mom, at 17. That is NUTS to even think about having sex at 10, let alone having a child!
I think anyone under 18 is too young to be pregnant, considering I didn't have my first of two kids until I was 34, but a little girl at 10 being pregnant? Wow! She'll probably end up having a dozen kids. That's too bad, & sad for her.

Enjoy Life Foods promises they'll make you smile inside out!
About Enjoy Life Foods
Enjoy Life Foods, founded in early 2001, has the mission to make great-tasting allergy-friendly and gluten-free foods that nearly everyone can eat freely without worry. The Enjoy Life product line is gluten-free and free of the eight most common allergens: wheat, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish and shellfish. Company founder Scott Mandell started Enjoy Life after writing the company's business plan as part of a class assignment for the MBA program at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. The notion that people with dietary restrictions must frequently sacrifice good taste and nutrition in order to find allergy-friendly and gluten-free foods they can eat inspired the business plan. Scott and his team envisioned a unique company that would offer great tasting, nutritious foods for people on restricted diets.
In late 2001, Scott, a former banker, traded in his business suit for an apron and sought funding for the new venture from friends, family and "angel investors." He used the funds raised to get the company off the ground, develop products and build a dedicated nut- and gluten-free bakery in Chicago, IL. The company took the unusual approach of investing in a special facility so that people with food intolerances and celiac disease would know that all Enjoy Life products were made in the safest environment possible. In January 2006, the company was the first to receive independent gluten-free certification for all Enjoy Life products from the Gluten Free Certification Organization (GFCO).
Enjoy Life line launched with 12 tasty items including cookies, snack bars and bagels shortly after the completion of the bakery. Initially, Enjoy Life products were available online and through natural food stores. Today, the product line has grown to 26 different foods including soft-baked cookies, granola, snack bars, bagels, trail mixes, chocolate bars and chocolate chips, all of which are sold in natural food and conventional grocery stores throughout the U.S., Canada and specialty online stores.
In early 2006, Enjoy Life moved to a new production facility in Schiller Park, IL, which is twice the size of the original bakery and includes plenty of room to accommodate the company's rapid growth. Fueled by increased consumer demand for great-tasting allergy-friendly foods, distribution expansion into new markets and retail outlets, and the introduction of delicious and unique new products allowed for the expansion growth. Enjoy Life Foods was named to the Inc. magazine's 500/5000 List of Fastest Growing Private Companies for three consecutive years (2007-2009).
Most recently, Enjoy Life Foods teamed with Fair Winds Publishing to develop an allergy-friendly and gluten-free cookbook, Cookies for Everyone! The book features 150 tasty recipes for families to bake while creating tasty memories. A sequel, Cupcakes for Everyone!, will appear on bookshelves in January 2010.
Ingredients: Tapioca Syrup, Chocolate Chips (Cane Sugar, Non Alcoholic Chocolate Liquor, Non-Dairy Cocoa Butter), White Rice Flour, Vegetable Glycerin, Evaporated Cane Juice, Marshmallow Flavorrettes (Evaporated Cane Juice, Rice Flour, Rice Syrup, Palm Oil, Raisin Juice Concentrate, Honey, Natural Flavor, Salt), Crisp Rice (Rice Flour, Rice Bran, Honey, Raisin Juice Concentrate, Salt), Light Buckwheat Flour, Palm Oil, Millet Flour, Pre-Cooked Quinoa Flakes, Crunchy Rice Cereal (Rice Flour, Rice Bran, Honey, Raisin Juice Concentrate, Salt), Enjoy Life Crunchy Vanilla Honey Graham Cookie Pieces (Brown & White Rice Flour, Buckwheat Flour, Millet Flour, Palm Oil, Brown Pure Cane Sugar, Evaporated Cane Juice, Honey, Natural Flavors, Vanilla, Salt, Baking Soda, Xanthan Gum, Konjac Flour, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Rosemary Extract), Brown Drizzle (Evaporated Cane Juice, Cocoa Powder, Palm Kernel Oil, Ricemilk, Sunflower Lecithin, Salt, Vanilla), Puffed Amaranth, Natural Flavor, Salt.

The Museum is like a second home for many students in the Upward Bound Math & Science program. In addition to actively participating in the program on the weekends through the academic year, as well as over the summer, to help prepare for pursuing science-related majors in college, many students come to the Museum's Best Buy Teen Tech Center after school, to work on homework and try out special projects with the amazing technology in there. So when several students expressed interest in music and learning to play the keyboard, we made it happen. Upward Bound Project Director Touri White, who has a background in music with the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, organized "Tuesday Tunes" to teach interested students about music theory and keyboard lessons after school. Using keyboards donated by Abigail Dubearn, Museum benefactor and Gala Committee member, students are learning about scales, rhythm, "sharps" and "flats" (those are the black keys on the keyboard, if you've ever wondered), and more – then learning how to put it all together. Just like in science, it helps to understand music theory before you can put it into practice. Our next step is to blend those two seemingly opposite disciplines into one melody – "the science of music."

This is real. In Pokemon FireRed, this is it's Pokedex entry.
From IGN.com:
In a surprising development, it seems that the "third" entry in the fifth generation of Pokemon games will actually be two separate titles, releasing simultaneously. As mentioned below, they will be called Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2 and they will release in Japan this June. No news on a North American release, but the U.S. site says they will be "coming soon." The U.S. site also calls the games "two incredible new adventures" - which, paired with the Black 2 and White 2 branding, may suggest they are actually direct sequels of sorts to Black and White. To be clear, this has not been confirmed and is merely speculation. No official word has been given on whether it will feature the same story and areas as Black and White (as is traditional for these third entries) or whether it will somehow continue the adventure. Keep it here on IGN for all the latest.
The official Pokemon japanese website has been updated to include news of this new game. It mentions that "mysterious legendary Pokemon" will make an appearance. The images of these Pokemon (below) look like new forms of Black and White's legendaries Reshiram and Zekrom, perhaps somehow fused with Kyurem. Of course, only time will tell who they are for sure.
Fuk the wut?
Can anyone explain why they did this?
Note: THEY DO NOT EVOLVE INTO EACH OTHER.

Trot singer Jang reflected on her difficult times dealing with rumors.
Trot star Jang Yoon-jung, 30, appeared in an episode of MBC talk show 'Golden Fishery' on June 30, talking about her break-up with ex-boyfriend Noh Hong-chul, 31.
"We split up because we were different, not because one of us was 'wrong,'" commented Jang. "A lot of rumors appeared since I didn't reveal the exact reason for our separation."
Many speculators guessed that Noh's obsessional neatness and Jang's parents' objection to their marriage were behind the parting.
"The last [rumor] is the most shocking — one said that I had fled to America because I was pregnant with a famous figure's child," said the singer. "That rumor still tops the list when I type my name into search engines."
"My parents cried every day from the shock of the news," said Jang, reflecting that "[my parents] said they would get me a physical check certificate if I wanted. That was the most difficult time of my life."
Meanwhile, Jang has made a comeback with 'Olae,' from her fifth album.

Are you credit constraint and going through stress and financial crisis due to your low income? If you belong from a low income family, it is pretty difficult to have adequate money for down payment and apply for loans for purchasing a house.
But there are reasons for you to smile. There are several rent to own programs for low income families provided by the local as well as the federal agencies. Contact your local housing authority and get information on the rent to own programs for low income families.
The first thing that must be considered is whether or not you fall in the category of the low income families and eligible for the low income housing. It is advantageous for you if you had a good relationship with your previous landlords.
Moreover you have to be very particular that you are applying for a house on rent based on your income capability. The Housing and Urban Development's Public Housing program allows you to reside in an affordable as well as decent housing.
This program benefits the low income families because 30% of your total income is required for paying the rental while the rest is paid by the Housing and Urban Development department. You have to meet the income limit for availing this program.
There is yet another program similar to public housing. It is called the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher. In this program too you have to pay 30% of your income towards the rent but stay in any of the rental housing till the voucher gets accepted. But if the owner feels like he might even decline the voucher.
If you are a Section 8 Voucher holder with the help of the Homeownership Voucher program you can pay the mortgage using the housing subsidy. This is ideal for first time home buyers or for those who haven't bought a home in the past 3 years. You need to have a steady income and job for at least a year to qualify for the loan. Moreover you are also required to participate in the homeownership seminars.
The rent to own programs that are specifically designed for the low income families are dedicated to the establishment of decent and affordable housing as well as rental assistance, programs and services. It gives you the opportunity to have a decent life and secure place to reside even when you have a low income.

Genre: Inspirational, Mystery/Thriller/Suspense
This taut, thrilling mystery delivers a clever and intricate plot, vivid characters shimmering with authenticity and heart-stopping action (literally!). The author, a surgeon by day, provides plenty of fascinating medical detail, but never lets the technical override the emotional: The heroine's gradual spiritual awakening is as touching as it is satisfying.
Ice-queen surgeon Tori Taylor doesn't know what's come over her. Ever since her emergency heart transplant she's been — well, nice. She's compassionate. Emotionally vulnerable. And plagued by terrifying nightmares of a murder. Convinced she's experiencing "cellular memories" from her new heart, she enlists the help of therapist Phin MacGregor to find her donor's killer. The police think she's crazy, but one sympathetic captain knows Tori's the key to uncovering a far-reaching conspiracy. As threats on their lives escalate, Tori and Phin flee, fearing they won't live long enough to discover the truth behind Tori's change of heart. (DAVID C. COOK, Sep., 384 pp., $14.99)

- Specific bequests, as their name implies, enable you to bequeath an amount of your choice, usually in the form of a cash distribution.
- Residuary bequests allow you to leave a remainder or percentage of your estate to Children's Rights.
- Contingency bequests make your gift contingent on special circumstances.
If you're interested in remembering Children's Rights in your will — or learning more about the many other ways of supporting our work — please contact us via email or at 212.683.2210.

The Smartest Potato on the Couch
Published on Friday, January 3, 2014 - 9:27am
Orange is the New Black and the Modern Love Archive
Lots of us are binging on TV these days... taking in entire series in one sitting... blissfully forgetful of the days when we would have to wait all summer to find out who shot J.R.
I myself have been delving into Netflix's Orange in the New Black, and I have decided to assuage my fear of being a couch potato by adding a veneer of scholarship to my TV habit.
Here's what I dug up:
- At DC Public Library, we have the original book by Piper Kerman (Chapman in the show) that they based the show on. There's a long wait list right now, but I'll get it soon (we have downloadable copies as well).
- One storyline in the series involves Piper's fiance Larry writing a column for the New York Times and then being interviewed by a This American Life-like radio show. Searching for Piper Kerman in our New York Times archive, I found not only articles written about the creation of the show but also one of her original pieces about the day she surrendered in prison.
- Kerman's fiance's name is Larry Smith, and you can read their wedding announcement. Smith actually wrote more than one column about his relationship with Piper... and not only about her time in prison (cool thing about our NYT archive is that you can usually find a scan of the original print article or just the text).
- Smith is the guy who started the whole Six Word thing on his online magazine Smith. Our youth librarian recently had us all write six word reviews of our favorite young adult books - fun to discover the connection to the series.
That's all I've got right now - remember, I said it was a veneer.

Understanding Inpatient and Observation Admission Status
As a patient admitted to the Hospital, the severity of your illness (how sick you are) and the intensity of service (the medical treatment you require) are considered in determining the appropriate level of care you are assigned to.
The process of determining level of care helps us comply with Medicare, Medicaid, managed care plans and commercial payer regulations related to observation or inpatient status.
The determination of whether your hospital stay is designated as inpatient or observation does not affect the quality of care you receive; however, it may have billing and discharge planning implications.
If you need to reach your case manager or social worker, please ask your nurse to have us paged or call 617-243-6695.

The Impact of Free-Trial Acquisition on Customer Usage, Retention, and Lifetime Value
Hannes Datta
Tilburg University
Bram Foubert
Maastricht University
Harald J. Van Heerde
Massey University
July 26, 2013
Many service firms acquire customers by offering free-trial promotions. A crucial yet unexplored question is whether customers acquired by free trials differ systematically from regular customers in terms of their usage and retention behavior, and customer lifetime value. To address this issue, the authors conceptualize how a consumer's retention decision is driven by marketing communication and usage. They next develop hypotheses how the effects of these drivers are moderated by the mode of acquisition, i.e., free-trial or regular. To test the hypotheses, the authors model a customer's retention decision and usage behavior of both flat-rate (e.g., watching TV programs), and pay-per-use services (e.g., watching videos-on-demand). The model allows for unobserved heterogeneity, selection effects, and endogenous marketing instruments. On the basis of panel data from a digital TV service, the analyses demonstrate behavioral differences which make free-trial customers, on average, worth 55% less than regular customers. However, free-trial customers are more responsive to changes in marketing communication and usage rates, which offers opportunities to target marketing efforts and enhance customer equity.

Yes you can do part time courses and also online courses abroad. You can also do courses sitting in India while doing a full time job here, the exams are online. If you go abroad you can do a part time job and study, but getting a full time job firstly you would have to have a working visa, then its possible but otherwise i guess you cannot.Answered by samron jude, 25 Apr '08 08:30 pm
