What questions should I ask before receiving a manicure or pedicure?
It's your body, so why not take every precaution?
Each manicurist must have an individual license issued by the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology in full view. To get that license, he or she must have completed an approved course involving at least 200 hours of training.
Manicurists should wash and sanitize their hands before touching a client and should ask each client to wash and sanitize their hands before the service.
Manicurists should lay a clean towel over their stations for every client. Pedicure clients also should get clean towels to rest their feet on, and whirlpools should be disinfected after each use.
All instruments should be washed in soapy water after each client and fully immersed in a disinfectant approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for at least 10 minutes. Soiled instruments must be stored separately from clean instruments in labeled receptacles. MOST NAIL FILES CANNOT BE DISINFECTED - A NEW ONE MUST BE USED FOR EACH CLIENT.
Instruments and supplies that cannot be disinfected, such as orange wood sticks and toe separators, should be thrown away immediately after use.
You should not allow anyone to cut away calluses on your feet. Manicures and pedicures should not be painful or leave your cuticles bloody and swollen.
Drill bits should be cleaned and disinfected after each client.
Containers should be clearly marked with the contents.
There should be adequate ventilation to remove fumes caused by nail products.
You have the right to get clear answers to your questions about procedures, materials being used and their contents.
If you cannot get these basic principles answered or met to your satisfaction, go to a salon that will.

Hi, my name is Bella! I love to write and read. I sing and act and do what normal girls don't. I absolutely HATE romance. I have brown hair and deep brown eyes. I hate bullies and suspense (unless it's a cliffhanger), and adore babies and my friends. My friends are always there for me and when I am about to crumble, they boost me up. My life slogan/motto is: "In my world, mice ride motorcycles and everyone speaks the same language!" Don't ask; there's no reason to. For every wrong there is a right and for every right there's a wrong so life is equally balanced. Yet what we have to observe can change the balance as some are different than others. My birthday is on December 18. My favorite colors are pink, purple, and blue. I write crazy stories sometimes, but I can't help it. My imagination is one part of the world, as it is as big as it, and I am just a free spirit. Let the chips fall where they may. Also, I quote a lot. Nothing in my profile is quoted, I made it up by myself, but I love quoting people. Especially Stephenie Meyer. She is my all-time hero besides Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Okay, I am going to shut up now and stop wasting your time. Just read, write, sleep, live, learn, love, whatever! Love, Bella

Morality is Not the Point
- Wednesday, December 12, 2007
Now stay with me. If you don't agree now, you may when I'm finished. For a while now I've been asking the elementary-age kids I know, "What do you think God wants most from us?" Most of the time the answers are something like, "God wants us to be good" or "God wants us to pray a lot." I was even pleased to get a "God wants us to help people." These were the kind of answers I expected—but they are wrong. They are off by perhaps three degrees. If you start on a journey and you are three degrees off of your bearing, you will in a short time be half a mile off-course. In a few days you will be hundreds of miles off-course, and soon you'll be in the wrong hemisphere. You will have completely missed your destination. That is why sailors have checked their compasses obsessively for thousands of years.
When I ask "What does God want most from us?" the words I hope to hear are "He wants us to love Him." That's the point. That's what matters most. And in the pursuit of loving God we need to toss overboard whatever may distract us or cause us to drift off-course. The distractions are legion.
Christianity is complex; sin is easy. Those of us who have lived some years as followers of Christ are probably not going to stumble into a life of violent crime. We are probably not going to wake up one day and choose to wholly reject God and become angry atheists. However, we do need to be afraid of drift and distraction. As sinful humans, we will drift away from God, and we will be distracted—it's unavoidable. Consequently, we need to discover these distractions early and get them corrected quickly. It's also important to note that these distractions come not only in the form of sinful temptations—they can come in any form. They can even look like good things. King Saul was distracted by his desire to be a good king, and the Pharisees were distracted by their devotion to Scripture, of all things. Abraham was distracted by his love for his son Isaac; it caused him to drift away from God. For those of us working to serve and teach kids through ministry, we need to be especially vigilant and stay on our course.
A wise man once observed that for ministers, the one thing that hinders spiritual growth most is ministry. The very act of ministry can be a distraction from our relationship with God. Many enter into ministry with visions of making a difference in lives, of leading people toward growth and maturity. That's the wrong motive. You've begun to drift by perhaps three degrees.
The right motive for ministry comes from loving God so much that you want to spill it over on others. If you go into ministry solely to serve either kids or adults, you are already distracted and drifting off-course. You will run aground. How? Kids certainly won't appreciate your sacrifices; and adults won't understand what you're trying to do. They will even fight you and impede the very thing they hired you to come and accomplish! This scenario happens so often it has a name—burnout. To avoid this kind of disaster in ministry, in work, or in parenting, we need to honestly and humbly check our bearings and adjust our course constantly toward loving God.
Morality is not the point. When it becomes the point you will become corrupt. You will have lost sight of the main goal—loving God. This concept is very important when you are guiding a child or young believer in Christ. The Pharisees were moral, the most moral people around, and Jesus reserved His most scathing and condemning words for them (Matthew 23:27). Morality will not save you from hell; it will not even make you a better person. However, it will make life miserable for those around you. And eventually you will run aground. You won't be able to keep it up; you won't be able to keep mustering your will to step up and rescue you. Morality is not the point; it is merely a means to a much greater end.

"The hollowing out of the Labour Party continues. Soon Shearer and his sponsors will have the party to themselves."Featured comment
Labour MP Charles Chauvel says he will resign his seat on March 11.
The one-time party high flyer says he has accepted a position with the United Nations in New York (workplace of former Prime Minister Helen Clark), advising on parliamentary development and democratic governance.
Mr Chauvel was pegged by media as a member of "Camp Cunlifee" during the recent Labour leadership spat.
As the incumbent David Shearer consolidated his position in February, easily winning a leadership vote, Mr Chauvel found himself on the outer.
A former Minter Ellison partner, Mr Chauvel entered parliament as a list MP in 2006 as a list MP.
He has served as Labour's justice spokesman since February 2011 and as the shadow atorney-general and Labour's arts, culture and heritage spokesman since December 2011.
For the past two years, the openly gay Mr Chauvel has also been a member of the United Nations' Global Commission on HIV and the Law, a part-time position.
Former MP Carol Beaumont is next on Labour's list.

Copula-based orderings of multivariate dependence
AbstractIn this paper I investigate the problem of defining a multivariate dependence ordering. First, I provide a characterization of the concordance dependence ordering between multivariate random vectors with fixed margins. Central to the characterization is a multivariate generalization of a well-known bivariate elementary dependence increasing rearrangement. Second, to order multivariate random vectors with non- fixed margins, I impose a scale invariance principle which leads to a copula-based concordance dependence ordering. Finally, a wide family of copula-based measures of dependence is characterized to which Spearmanís rank correlation coefficient belongs.

A Bayesian Network Approach to Control of Networked Markov Decision Processes
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
The authors consider the problem of finding an optimal feedback controller for a networked Markov decision process. Specifically, they consider a network of interconnected subsystems, where each subsystem evolves as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). A subsystem is connected to its neighbors via links over which signals are delayed. They consider centralized control of such networked MDPs. The controller receives delayed state information from each of the subsystem, and it chooses control actions for all subsystems.

"The Regulators," was written by Stephen King under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. The book is on display at a Maine auction and bids are being accepted by email, phone and in person until Jan. 31.
ELLSWORTH, Maine — A signed copy of a rare Stephen King book is up for auction at a Maine bookstore, with proceeds going to a nearby homeless shelter's emergency home heating fund.
The copy of the "The Regulators," written by horror writer and Maine native King under the pen name Richard Bachman, was donated by a customer of Scottie's Bookhouse in Hancock.
Owner Michael Riggs says there are only 550 copies of the book in a special collector's box.
Auction proceeds will go to the Emmaus Homeless Shelter's emergency fuel fund in Ellsworth.
Emmaus director Sister Lucille MacDonald tells WABI-TV it's an "ingenious" way to help people struggling to buy heating oil.
The book is on display at Scottie's and bids are being accepted by email, phone and in person until Jan. 31.

i keep hearing people say Ray is still fitting in, but imo it has taken longer than i would have anticipated. interestingly enough, beginning in just the last couple of games, he's looked good. hopefully injury doesn't stifle his play going forward. i would mention that in the forwards, you left out a key guy -- Craig Smith. the Rhino has been excellent in his time on the floor, and has enabled Nate to rest LaMarcus for longer periods.~ KMM

The Huntsville City Board of Education approved new consultants that aim to improve business practices within the district.
The school board held a special meeting on Saturday to further address business practice concerns that recently came to light following an internal audit.
Board members voted unanimously to bring in consultant contractors that will oversee future business operations. These include construction management companies Hoar Construction LLC and TCU Consulting Services. An individual consultant, Jim Lawson, will look into procurement.
In addition, business consulting firm Lean Frog Business Solutions will be used to track a range business operations like maintenance, information technology and human resources.
Board president Laurie McCaulley said approving these initiatives with consensus was a given.
The actions result from sober findings in an internal audit of business practices within Huntsville City Schools. They include an estimated $60 million of wasted money in the last decade.
Superintendent Dr. Casey Wardynski said it is a priority to ensure taxpayer dollars are being spent efficiently in the district.
The superintendent ordered his chief financial officer, Frank Spinelli, to conduct an internal review of financial practices last summer.
The audit revealed a list of inefficient, wasteful and fraudulent practices, which included an over projected cost of building the new Lee High School. School officials say it cost the district $46.5 million to build the new school while consultants say it should have cost closer to $23 million.
Audit findings also indicated situations of fraud and theft that could possibly point to criminal activity, according to school officials. Dr. Wardynski declined to specify these cases but said they will be investigated at the state and city government level.
In addition, school officials said the district missed out on a potential $20 to $33 million of E-Rate reimbursements within the last decade. The Federal program gives discounts to public schools wishing to upgrade communications systems.
Board members on Saturday approved another motion to implement TekLinks, a new e-mail system that uses cloud computing technology.
Dr. Wardynski said Saturday's approvals secure the necessary steps to promote best practices, particularly as school officials work on a reorganization of employees.
School officials said the upcoming school board meeting on Thursday will possibly address the potential firings, demotions and transfers of school employees.

Sources indicate that local father Dan McCarthy is unable to make time for his son, the adorable nine year-old Brady McCarthy."I called Dad last week to see if we could play catch," Brady said in a press release."I left a message with his secretary."Brady added, "He still has yet to call me back."
Mr. McCarthy's secretary, Anne Gaines, observed, "This kid Brady keeps calling me.At first I had no clue who he was, because I had never heard about him or seen any pictures of him.But I figured it out and now we talk almost every day."Gaines noted, "Brady seems like a nice, sweet, genuine kid.Yesterday he asked me if I wanted to play catch with him.I told him I couldn't, because I was a woman.But I thought it was nice of him to ask."
Brady spends his days throwing a baseball at a wall and hoping that it will bounce back to him."It's just not fair," he added."But the way my bedtime schedule works, I am never awake when my father gets home.And on weekends he is always busy doing important things.I thought maybe if I scheduled in advance we could work something out.But it looks as though that is not going to happen."
Brady's mother noted, "I'm worried that Brady is missing a father figure in his life.He almost seems uncertain as to who his father really is.Last week the mailman called him 'son' and he got very confused."Mrs. McCarthy continued, "I've been trying to introduce him to positive male role models, including a fireman, a policeman, a sailor, and an Indian chief.But he hasn't really taken to them."
Brady's maternal grandfather, Andrea Grimes, was outspoken in her frustration with Mr. McCarthy."I keep calling that deadbeat son-in-law of mine and telling him, 'You better go throw some balls to your son or I'll come over there and throw some balls at you.And they'll be hard balls, like they made back in the olden days.'"Grimes sighed."Now he's started screening my calls."Added Grimes, "I want my grandson to have a father so that he doesn't turn grow up to be one of those weirdos."
Brady's father, a high-powered executive, was not available for comment.

No One Injured After Fire Breaks Out Inside Funeral Home
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – No injuries were reported after a fire broke out inside a funeral home in Rutherford County.
The incident was reported just before 5:30 p.m. Friday at Jennings and Ayers Funeral Home located at 820 South Church Street in Murfreesboro.
Upon arriving, crews said they discovered heavy smoke in the basement of the structure and located the fire in the funeral home's old embalming room. Firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze.
"The fire started when a light in the old embalming room shorted," said Shift Commander Daryl Alexander. "Employees were lucky that they went downstairs before they left for the day; if this was not discovered until later, circumstances would have been much different," he continued.
Damage was contained to the basement of the building. The funeral home will remain open as crews work to repair the damage.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Launch of O365Connect gives significant operational and economic benefits to SMB IT
Bath, United Kingdom - 6th February 2014: Zynstra, the pioneer in hybrid cloud solutions for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), today announces the launch of O365Connect. Developed in association with Microsoft and HP to provide SMBs with a managed Hybrid IT solution, it delivers all the comfort and control of on-premise IT but with the economics and service levels typically associated with public cloud services.
Aimed at businesses with between 5 and 250 IT users, O365Connect provides a seamless integration with Microsoft Office 365, giving the end user complete control over the management of their data, backup and print services as well as employee access to applications via Single Sign On. O365Connect will be sold exclusively through and managed by the channel.
Nick East, CEO of Zynstra commented on the launch. "Many SMBs still feel unwilling or unable to fully adopt cloud services due to restrictions on their broadband capabilities, security concerns, or a feared loss of control. Hybrid IT is growing in popularity."
All of Zynstra's cloud managed server appliances are built on the HP ProLiant server range with the unique Zynstra software that enables local IT workloads to be run as a service in a virtualised Windows and/or Linux environment. Users of O365Connect are also able to benefit from Zynstra's patent pending keep current and keep consistent technology which is "built in" so that SMBs need not worry about having to update systems. With Zynstra's extensive software IP, each appliance is also provisioned, updated and managed from the cloud at a scale not previously possible.
Andy Burton, Chief Revenue Officer for Zynstra commented: "O365Connect has been designed from scratch with the SMB in mind, offering the best of on-premise IT and cloud services. We chose to build a complete proposition, working in close partnership with Microsoft and HP to ensure that what resulted was an IT service that once and for all put the notion of 'legacy' technology to bed."
Zynstra O365Connect handles local networking, security, identity, file and print management, and the management of Single-Sign-On to Office 365 and other applications. It provides a fully managed backup service of the local files as well as maintaining a full backup of the cloud managed email and file data from Microsoft's Office 365 locally on the Zynstra solution. An additional Disaster Recovery option, allows the appliance to be fully backed up to Microsoft's Azure service enabling the solution to be spun up in the cloud in the event of an entire loss of physical office or appliance.
Glenn Woolaghan, Microsoft UK SMB Director, Small & Midmarket Solutions & Partners, unit commented "We have seen tremendous interest and uptake in our cloud services, both for Office 365 and Azure, but we also recognise that many customers want to keep some local presence running workloads and applications on the familiar Windows Server environment, whether for management of user credentials and local printer services or for accounting and CRM activities. The need for a solution that brings these two worlds together in a simple managed environment that the reseller community can adopt to support their customers is considerable. What's more it has relevance not just to businesses but to Schools, Primary Care Trusts and charities, as well as Remote and Branch Offices of larger companies."
Lee Knott, HP's UK&I lead for SMB also welcomed the launch of the new Zynstra service. "A Hybrid IT solution for the SMB just makes complete sense. No longer do customers need to choose between customer owned solutions and full cloud adoption. Now they can have the advantages of both in a single, managed solution without sacrificing productivity. Customers can enjoy all the benefits of Office 365 integrated to the local IT experience based on HP's world-class server technology, providing a robust, efficient and reliable IT platform with flexibility to add applications as the business grows. We see Hybrid IT becoming the norm for many organisations, especially SMBs, where there is a growing need for converged infrastructure solutions across servers, networking and storage."
Zynstra's O365Connect is available from 17th February 2014.
About Zynstra:
Zynstra is a provider of hybrid cloud solutions that enable SMBs to benefit from the security and performance of local IT combined with the economics and ease of the cloud. Headquartered in Bath, UK, Zynstra has developed patent-pending technology that gives SMBs hassle-free, enterprise-level IT with built-in reliability they can afford.
Zynstra is backed by Octopus Investments, one of the UK's leading investors in fast growth companies that can scale explosively to create, transform or dominate an industry.

Enzo MarraArtist, Journalist
Having studied towards a BA at the University of Reading and and an MA at the University of Brighton, Enzo Marra's creative practise is concerned with the exploration and pictorial analysis of the artworld via oil, ink and graphite applications over canvas and paper supports. He has been exploring the settings of the studio, the gallery, the auction house and the activities of observers to this world. Through the use of such subject matter on paper and canvas both applied in a tonal reflective manner. On canvas applied also with textural approximations to enliven the whole support, bringing the pigment as well as the subject matter to life. He has been occupied with how the artworld can be seen from the insiders and the outsiders point of view, the valuing of artworks and their auctioning for astonomic figures, the processes and activities that occur behind the privacy of studio doors, the hanging and display of works animated by the commodified space of the gallery, the milling of observers in gallery spaces, the way that their presence then gives life and purpose to the works on display. The use of texture is of great importance in his practise as he feel that it gives oil paints an added dimension and gives the brush used a necessary dominance in the final image created. The dragging away and building up of pigment as relevant in the final image, as the tonality and colour balance that they are used to express. These works having allowed him to be involved in the Crash Open Salon 2013 at the Charlie Dutton Gallery, the Threadneedle Prize in 2010, 2012 and 2013, Gfest in 2010, Charlie Smith Anthology in 2011, and the Open West at Gloucester Cathedral and the John Moores Painting Prize in 2012. He has also recently been included on the shortlist for the 100 Painters of Tomorrow and was given an honourable mention in the Beers Contemporary Award for Emerging Art 2013. As well as being represented by Tania Wade at http://www.hooliganartdealer.com in London, his works are also available via http://www.ink-d.co.uk in Brighton, http://www.opus-art.com in Stow on the Wold and http://www.redpropeller.co.uk in Devon.

More jive spin. If this Marxist gets elected again we are done.
Clinton had it right the first time, Obama's was and still is an amateur. But, he would make a great car salesman.
Obama 2012
Wishful thinking Rupert Rag?
Romney is a computer spreadsheet. Heartless.
ha! ha! me thinks this is wishful thinking by the writer and all you righties. Gallup just today is reporting a 7-point bounce. Obama 2012!!!
Bounce all right – bounce right out the door in November because he has been an absolute incompetent failure on every level: poor leader, bad policymaker, small minded partisan, and misreader of the desire of the American public not for his lamebrained leftist health bill but instead a focus on the economy. Bye bye, bounce bounce, away you go…
Gallup shows a 2 pt bounce and not all of their polling was post convention. It may grow next week.
Tick, tock…tick,tock…Hope and Wait…tick,tock…tick,tock…Hope and Wait…tick,tock…tick,tock…
Sorry, but we have to let you go. You don't seem to have what it takes to get the job done.
Marxist? Do you even know what a Marxist is? Nope, don't answer that. You don't. You wouldn't be calling a single U.S. politician a Marxist if you knew what one was.
Reality check, folks. The jobless rate decreased this past month. Did it magically shrink to where we were before our economy tanked? No, of course not. Did you expect it to? If the answer to that question is "Yes," then I've got some bad news for you, Jack. I'd also like to point out that waaaay back in 2008, President Obama's detractors accused his supporters of magical thinking, of believing that Obama could wave a magic wand over the nation and repair it completely.
And now, four years later, surprise surprise, if it isn't Obama's detractors asking why he hasn't waved a wand over the nation and magically repaired the economy in four years. Are you all willfully ignorant, or is it brain damage that causes your hindsight to be mysteriously missing when election time comes around?
I'd say that the fact we've experienced any recovery at all is proof positive we're on the right track. Anyone saying otherwise is completely deluded as to the true extent of the damage done by Obama's predecessors (Mr. Clinton included).
Just stop all your whining and complaining. So what if I was a failure? You're going to vote for me anyway. Saps! Losers! Bwahahahahaahahahah!
@obama: so, just going for the insane anonymous Internet weirdo angle? You're right, buddy, that's gonna win some hearts and minds. Good show.
The below might explain how Gallup's poll managed to come up with such a great "Obama' bounce"
The "brown shirts are coming, the brown shirts are coming!" Apparently Obama/Axelrod, if they don't like your poling data now simply call up the United States Department of Justice and have them sue you, just ask Gallup-see below article
Internal emails between senior officials at The Gallup Organization, obtained by The Daily Caller (TheDC), show senior Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod attempting to subtly intimidate the respected polling firm when its numbers were unfavorable to the president.
After Gallup declined to change its polling methodology, Obama's Department of Justice hit it with an unrelated lawsuit that appears damning on its face.
TheDC is withholding the identities of the Gallup officials to protect them from potential retaliation from Obama's campaign and his administration.
In April, Axelrod tweeted that a poll showing Mitt Romney with a 48-43 percent lead over Obama was "saddled with some methodological problems," directing his Twitter followers to read a National Journal story criticizing Gallup polls showing a Romney lead.
In that National Journal piece, Ron Brownstein wrote that the polls showing Romney leading the president had "a sample that looks much more like the electorate in 2010 than the voting population that is likely to turn out in 2012."
Internally, Gallup officials discussed via email how to respond Axelrod's accusations. One suggested that it "seems like a pretty good time for a blog response," and named a potential writer.
In response to that suggestion, another senior Gallup official wrote — in an email chain titled "Axelrod vs. Gallup" — that the White House "has asked" a senior Gallup staffer "to come over and explain our methodology too."
Folks, welcome to Venezuela
Gallup, as usual, posted its latest poll findings at 1 pm–and found a big bounce for Obama from this year's convention, adding to yesterday's indication. They show a very strong one-day 3% hike in his approval rating to 52%–his highest mark in many months. This means that he gained a whopping 7% in just the past three days.
Also, for the first time in more than a week, the numbers on his contest with Romney moved.
It had been a 47% to 46% lead for him (with no change at all from a week ago during and after the RNC)–but now he has opened lead to 3%, at 48%-45%. And that's in a 7-day poll average with only the first couple days of the DNC factored in, so it should go up a bit more over the next few days. (Note: Gallup site erratic, probably due to heavy traffic right now.)
Here's an item on the results the past two days. By the way, Gallup has often lagged behind other polls showing leads for Romney, so a Democratic bias seems very doubtful.
Even the rightwinger's favorite republican pollster had to narrow their Romney advantage from 6 points to one point. It is also less than a day after the Convention, that bounce will continue. The Job numbers wer not that bad and the republicans have done nothing to convince anyone.
Obama says he has a plan? Then what's he waiting for? He's president NOW! He's been president for almost four years! Why isn't he beginning to implement his plan after all this time, if he has a plan?
Don't tell me he's willing to let the country suffer the absence of his plan all this time just so he can win an election!
Axelrod and Plouffe are the dirtiest political handlers in recent history. They will say anything and deny everything to get Obama re-elected. Problem is that people are finally seeing through the rhetoric and failure to deliver, and see that Obama is in way over his head and is the most incompetent president since Jimmy Carter.
Ever heard of Karl Rove?
Pesky jobs report – another "inconvenient" truth??
If it smells like a duck, walks like a duck…
The Daily Caller? You call that a reliable source? The bow tie boy has a worse reputation than Drudge or Breitbart. Nothing but a right wing screed.
What terrible reporting. The internet is burning up with reports of Gallup's tracking polling showing a 7% increases in Obama's favorability and a couple point increase in his lead. Get with it.
I don't get these polls. I was ecstatic during the democratic convention, my family members were ecstatic (even the ones that don't usually pay close attention to political media for obvious reasons like too many vultures trying to buy the election), It created good conversation for me and my neighbors, the cashier at the corner store had the convention on the TV behind the counter. I'm a1000% sure that independent voters got to see a fair presentation without any type GOP money involved. My poll says mission accomplished!!!

How do you get that notion? Obama had a 9% bounce reported by MSNBC! Get your facts together. Romney had no bounce at all.
LOL – wsj, you keep hopin on that "no bounce" theory … the Democrats are pumped up after that awesome convention. Obama is moving the country forward the best he can with the republican obstructionists in Congress. He's the right choice. Romney is going to be heading home to his car elevator soon.
Look at all the Marist dialectic!
MSNBC?!?! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha *breathe* hahahahahahahaha! This is the same MSNBC that cut away from all minority speakers during the RNC? Wow. You really are indoctrinated aren't you! LOL!
You mean the DNC convention where Obama and Co. glorified themselves and chose self-aggrandizement over discussing their job performance over the last 4 years. The same convention where they give themselves a glowing report card, despite evidence to the contrary? Awesome convention, indeed. NOT!
Sorry, Mr President but your test scores failed and in this case you are unable to repeat your classes.
Thanks for stopping by but your insights are no longer needed. You are dismissed.
Ah, the media. Not even 24 hours after his speech and he already has no convention bounce. Meanwhile Romney is still experiencing a convention thud a week later.
More Marxist rhetoric…
Too bad you were just flat wrong. Obama got a significant boost… and anyone who thinks that going from 8.3% unemployment to 8.1% is "disappointing" is unpatriotic. Another example that if it's not perfect, it's just not good enough. It's that failed thinking that will be the cause of the GOP's downfall this year. Once Obama wins reelection, stand by and watch the infighting within the party. It will be a new level of blood sport for Republican'ts
We are moving forward! We are on our way to recovery! I don't want to put a republican to hold the highest office in our country because I could not afford to experience the same thing as what we have experienced during the Bush administration.
I am just an ordinary employee yet I am in 15-18% tax bracket while Mitt Romney is worth 220M yet he only pays 13% tax. I don't want to put this kind of person in the President seat. He doesn't understand the poor and middle class.
But he will let you mow his lawn and clean the sh!t out of Rafalka's stall. Quit your b!tching peon.
Psssst….It's Arithmatic Republcans
Psssst – *Arithmetic and *Republicans You should atleast have a competency in spelling to vote.
The country at this time in history needs stability in governance for four more years. Our President has worked hard to get us out of the mess created by the previous president,and now we seem to be on the right trajectory. We are finally having signs of peace and prosperity. The housing market was responsible for our economic crisis. We are now seeing a much waited housing recovery. Let us vote for stability this november.
Can someone tell me what is Romney's plan? Really? What is it? He changes positions more than karma sutra.
In addition to the bounce shown by Gallup and Rasmussen — Friday's update of the Reuters/Ipsos online poll also found indications of what Reuters describes as a "convention induced bounce," though the change was also modest. It showed Obama taking a 46 to 44 percent lead over Romney on interviews conducted with likely voters over the last five days. On interviews conducted over the five days before that, the Ipsos poll showed a 45-to-45 percent tie.
The unbouncers
Brass Medals
Need I say more. Get use to the new American norm of high taxes, high unemployment, high prices, high poverty, high welfare.
American is bouncing right towards the dustbin of History…..
Has Obama offered any explanation to his Fast & Furious program yet?
They lie non stop, have nothing specific to offer but at least they can turnaround companies and employ people (in India and China), and yes they run marathons under three hours and climb mountains of over 14,000 feet whenever they want to.
Mittman and Lyin' Ryan
Instead of shooting the messenger, why don't you give us something nice to read that shows us that there has been a big old bouncey wouncey?
Do you have anything to show us that the speeches full of lying and rhetoric afforded the Democratic Socialist Marxist party a bouncey boingey?
was nowhere near full in many of the shots I saw.
the dems had offered people a check, if they would come?
expect thud.
the bright, articulate, truthful second in charge, should have given the convention, a bunch of bounce !
couldn't bounce his Hair Club For Men's meetings.
can kinda' bounce a basketball, and he likes to hit golf balls….a lot.
on the plane for a lot of vacations.
Feb, 2012, Aspen,marked number 16 in 3 years.
Now the polls that have a tendency to show Romney ahead – Rasmussen and Gallup- are showing him way behind.
That may not be an Obama Bounce but a Romney collapse.
Q: Which mountain is Ryan climbing today?
A: His own mountain of lies.
people in America, eating on food stamps.
Now, that is a bounce worth talking about……thanks Obama.
If you're going to have an article about a bounce… shouldn't you include the three tracking polls yesterday (Gallup, Rasmussen, Ipsos) that demonstrated it? http://nyti.ms/OXKgY8
And that only reflects the first two nights of the DNC
Not to mention Obama's approval at GALLUP shooting up 7 points to 52%.
Did you smell the slant, especially in the last paragraph of your NY times article ? He is ahead a couple in some, behind a couple in some. Even your title had to say "hint" of a bounce, LOL.
A BOUNCE would shoot him way out there….maybe he had a bo…. instead of a bounce?
of our debt from 10 trillion to 16 trillion in 4 short years under the big spender….yes, by the campaigning Senator who promised to cut the deficit in HALF.
Epic fail….especially since he called Bush irresponsible and unpatriotic for his spending.
Doubled since Obama took office. According to liberals, that is the president's fault !!!!!! Here you go, in their own words….Obama, Hillary, Debbie WS, Queen Nancy, Boxer, Harry, Senator Debbie S. from Michigan, Larson, and more!!
Shame on you Obama for driving our gas prices up, it hurts the economy.
that really hurts people in the middle class. The rich don't feel that bounce so much…… and he has given record numbers of "poor" food stamps, and obesity is highest in this group….the middle class pays dearly.
Obama's artificially inflated Dow, is about to hit the ground……and make a mammoth crater, that will lead to China.
You are stupid and cannot acknowledge the bounch.
So the president won't back down why did he promise to end his term in 4 years if things where not better. Giving away money to other nations to have women abort a child is money not well spent —That was his first order was …. Our income is down down that because the govermant has grown and so has regulation which gets past down to the comsumers WAKE Up Give up the KOOL-AID …….vote for a new chance to help this place Please
Just shows how incorrect reporters can be sometimes
Wow! WSJ is looking just like the slimepit at Yahoo. What an accomplishment. Impassioned white people bemoaning the fact that a black man is running the country – into the ground or out of the GW Bush crater? I pick the latter.
The idea that Obama got no convention bounce, that his acceptance speech was lackluster all fit the meme that white people keep pushing, more and more futilely as time goes on. Give up Romney-bots (you don't REALLY like him all that much do you?). The game is over and Obama will get 4 more years to straighten out the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
This time Republicans GTF outta the way.
No bounce? Someone forgot to tell Gallup, Rassuman, and Reuters/Ipsos.
Did you guys even LOOK at polls before writing this?
This article is looking very stale and inaccurate given the clear trajectory of the three major tracking polls, all of which indicate a solid bounce for Obama. If I were at the WSJ I'd try to get this off the high Google news rank that it currently has — its injuring the WSJ brand.
The Republican party in 2008 ran a campaign which doubted President Obama's experience. In foreign affairs and trying to create a paronia in the minds of voters on national seciurity issues. This election having seen his success. In handling if national security. Issues, the GOP is again adopting to similar scare tactics pertaining to our economy. As President Clinton nicely put it in his excellent speech, the only agenda for the GOP in the past four years (even before President Obama,s took office) has been to see that President Obama is a one term president. Such pollitics of obstructionism and noncoperation is going to be counter productive for the Republican party. The recent bump in our President's favorability ratings shows that such politics of negativism will only hurt the Republican Partiy's campaign.

Before she whupped him for the best directing Oscar, eventual exes Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron collaborated on the third-best music best video of all time. (The best, obviously, is Michael Jackson's "Thriller." The second best is this.)*The very 1988 clip (first dug up by Movieline) is for a Western-themed track called "Reach" by Martini Ranch, a duo featuring Big Love's Bill Paxton on vocals. As for the visuals, think Three Amigos, if it had been directed by Quentin Tarantino: There's an old-timey saloon, coffin-making, celebrity cameos by Paul Reiser and Judge Reinhold, a guitar solo performed by a guy in a noose, and a dusty, sexy, gun-slinging Bigelow. As we learned at Sunday's Academy Awards, she's still pretty good in a duel. If you haven't seen it yet, enjoy:*[Editor's note: Words like "best" are subjective.

Eventually, the little boy decided against the dress and, with his dad's blessing, picked out a tiara instead, because "it's better for everyday."

July 2013 Sky from the Keeble Observatory
When I was growing up it was common knowledge that there were nine planets in our
solar system, and there was serious debate about whether there were any more planets
orbiting other stars. What was the debate, and why such a debate? The discussion
went something like this: If the process which forms planets is unique to the history
of our solar system, then such planetary systems should be rare, perhaps limited
to stars like the Sun. If, however, planet formation could be shown to be a byproduct
of star formation itself we would expect planetary systems to be common. The present
consensus among astronomers is for the second possibility, which is confirmed by
the confirmation of nearly 400 "exoplanets" and the preliminary discovery of nearly
500 more. The Galaxy should be the home for billions of planets.
Stars are born from the collapse of cold dense clouds of gas and dust. The clouds
themselves are called "molecular clouds" because about 75% of their mass is in molecular
hydrogen. The dust shields the cloud cores from ultraviolet light, and another molecule
(carbon monoxide) provides an efficient cooling mechanism to keep the cloud cores
only a few tens of degrees above absolute zero. As they collapse under their own
weight (cold gas exerts little pressure, so gravity overcomes the tendency of a
gas to expand) the clouds fragment into smaller pieces which eventually become the
stars. As with every process in nature, there is waste in the sense that only about
99% of the cloud becomes stars. It is the leftover 1% that can become planets.
Close to the Sun the planets that formed are rocky, because volatile materials (easy
to melt and evaporate) like ices cannot condense out of the proto-solar disk. Farther
out we get low enough temperatures so that we get a mix of ices and refractory grains,
and the planets that form are essentially gas and ice with smallish rocky cores.
Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter we find a swarm of leftover bits that never
coalesced into a planet. These are called asteroids, and we note that the inner
part of this regions contains mostly rocky asteroids, while farther from the Sun
the asteroids are predominantly icy. We find evidence that this process is ongoing
in star forming regions, and we now observe directly the proto-stellar disks and
even evidence for planet formation as an ongoing process.
Oh, and we're down to eight planets. No, Pluto didn't go away, but it's now considered
as a minor planet since it's not alone. There are, perhaps, thousands of Pluto-like
objects beyond the orbit of Neptune, and Pluto isn't even the largest one. There
is also one minor planet among the asteroids, known as Ceres.
Lunar phases for July: New Moon on the 8th, at 3:14 am; First
Quarter on the 15th, at 11:18 pm; Full Moon on the 22nd, at
2:15 pm, and Last Quarter on the 29th, at 1:43 pm.
Predawn planet watchers may want to stay in bed early this month. Mars will be low
to the east, but it will fade into morning twilight as the Sun rises. By month's
end it will be higher, and will be joined mid-July by Jupiter and Mercury. Jupiter
will be the highest and brightest of the trio. Evening viewers will find Saturn
emerging from twilight to the southwest, then setting about four hours after sunset
early in the month. It moves lower as the weeks pass, setting only two hours after
sunset by the end of July.
Our overhead view at midmonth, about 3 hours after sunset (that's a little after
midnight by the clock), finds bright Vega near zenith in the constellation Lyra.
Recall last month's note about the "summer triangle" of Vega, Deneb, and Altair.
Deneb is the bright star at the "tail" of Cygnus, the Swan. Look for it about 60
degrees and to the east-northeast. Altair is at about 50 degrees to the southeast.
Following the familiar t shape of Cygnus from Deneb, your binoculars will find Albireo
at the head of the swan. It's not a terribly bright star, but it lacks any bright
neighbors so it's easy to find – it lies about 70 degrees above the east-southeast
at this time. A small telescope reveals Albireo as a close binary, with the two
stars of very different colors – one reddish, the other bright blue. The redder
star is cooler in temperature.
Ursa Major is to the northwest, with the bowl of the "Big Dipper" oriented to hold
water. This asterism is also known in some cultures as "the Plow" – the reason is
obvious in this orientation. Turning to the south we find the "teapot" asterism
of the constellation Sagittarius, which marks the direction toward the center of
our Milky Way galaxy. Above and a bit to the right of Sagittarius, don't mistake
bright red Antares for Mars. The name itself means "against Mars" – though I doubt
there's any real rivalry. Mars is a ball of rock in our solar system, the 4th
planet from the Sun. Antares is a "class M supergiant" star about 600 light years
from the Sun and about 800 times the Sun's diameter. If the Sun were placed at the
center of this star, Antares' photosphere (its visible surface) would lie between
the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

Adult Fiction HART
Summary: A KILLER WAS FULLY COMMITTED Twin Cities businessman Ken Loy is the first to die; shot between the eyes during a sunset bike ride. Half an hour later, Bob Fabian, the rich and handsome owner of the Minneapolis Times Register, meets a similar fate. It was a year ago when Loy broadsided the VW Beetle driven by Fabian's wife, Valerie, killing her instantly. Coincidence? Sleuthing food critic Sophie Greenway doesn't buy it. Indeed, the elegant Rookery Club, where the upper crust gathers to drink, dine, and gossip, is already simmering with rumors-about the murders, about a Times Register reporter's shameless fabrication of news stories, about rifts in two high-profile relationships. So when Sophie turns up the heat, the lethal bouillabaisse of twisted love, sadistic rage, and insatiable greed boils over. It seems that poisonous concoction murder du jour is back on the menu. . . .

On Tuesday night, Harrisburg City Council hosted a public hearing to discuss the proposed leasing of the city's parking garages.
It is part of the "Harrisburg Strong" financial recovery plan submitted by Receiver William Lynch last month.
"This isn't without risk and there's no guarantees," said Steven Goldfield, who is an advisor to the receiver.
Goldfield believes the leasing of the garages will benefit the city, even beyond the millions of dollars it will receive upon completion of the deal.
"The most risk-free piece of this is additional parking tax revenues, because we're not assuming in the bond deal as much as we think they're going to go up," Goldfield said.
Goldfield also talked about complaints that people have made about the planned hike in meter rates.
"You don't want people parking for eight hours in front of the dry cleaner or the hardware store," he said. "The hardware store and the dry cleaner don't like that. You want those people in the garage."
A number of residents also spoke on both sides of the issue.
"Unfortunately raising the meter rates and parking rates is the only way we can bring in parking revenue from those who come into the city since we aren't allowed to look at a commuter tax," said resident Jane Allis.
One-time mayoral candidate Nevin Mindlin said he is concerned that city council will only be voting on a term sheet that will commit the city to adopting a contract they haven't seen.
"You do not know what the deals are," he said. "It is not possible to know it."
Council also heard from unionized workers from the Parking Authority who are worried about what the deal means for them.
"Who's going to stay and who's going to get laid off," asked one worker.
Goldfield and one of the council members said that of the 70 or so workers with the Parking Authority, all but 12 will be offered a new job or a buyout.
Council is scheduled to vote on the proposed agreement Monday.

Although I am pretty sure the Quartz Phoneshield doesn't work, the manufactures claim it'll reduce the harmful side effects of radiation, which are fatigue, tiredness, reduced concentration, disturbed vision, etc, from cell phones – it's scientifically proven according to the copy on the site. I can't find any close up pics of the device, but it looks to be a quarter sized and shaped device that you stick on the face of your cell phone. Oh ya, they've got the good old scare tactic of 'protect your family' and they've included pics of children using cell phones.
Available here for about $20.

Anti locking braking system | Discount Car Care, Katy, TX
Overview diagram of ABS
The theory behind anti-lock brakes is simple. A skidding wheel (where the tire contact patch is sliding relative to the road) has less traction than a non-skidding wheel. By keeping the wheels from skidding while you slow down, anti-lock brakes benefit you in two ways: You'll stop faster, and you'll be able to steer while you are slowing down.
There are four main components to an ABS system:
- Speed sensors
- Pump
- Valves
- Controller
Anti-lock brakes help drivers have better control of a vehicle in some road conditions where hard braking may be necessary. In vehicles without anti-lock brake systems, drivers who encounter slippery conditions have to pump their brakes to make sure they do not spin out of control because of locked up wheels. Anti-lock braking systems coordinate wheel activity with a sensor on each wheel that regulates brake pressure as necessary, so that all wheels are operating in a similar speed range.
Benefits of ABS:
- Stopping on ice or slippery surface without losing control.
- Lower insurance costs.
- Higher resale value.
- Traction control.

Pink for Tink: 20-year old video game boys support Trish's fight against breast cancer.
My intent was just to let a few of our gamer friends know that we would be playing sporadically, and to get a few well-wishes from our close associates. Boy were we both in for a surprise. By mid-day the number of responses from people was over a two hundred, with a thousand views. The tone was supportive and caring, not what one would expect from the hardcore gamer demographic.
This is an incredibly story of hope and solidarity found surprisingly in an PvP game. Warhammer Online folks (from both sides!) came together and ran around in pink armor to support a fellow player who had recently found out that she had a tough battle with breast cancer ahead of her.
