529 West 20th Street, Chelsea
Through Feb. 28
Alex Arcadia's Neo-Pop dystopian vision, cleverly realized in a variety of two- and three-dimensional media, revolves around two central icons: an abstract corporate emblem suggestive of a swastika and the cartoonish form of a sexy woman's torso called ''Super-Gymnast.''
The abstract emblem has several incarnations: a Minimalist stainless steel wall sculpture called ''Bright Shiny Future''; an illuminated sign on a pristine white podium; and the repeated element in an allover pattern painting.
The headless ''Super-Gymnast,'' with its perfectly rounded breasts and buttocks, appears as a glossy black monument on a black pedestal, multiplied as an angelic host of pink figures in the blue sky of a backlighted transparency and as a white goddess figure hovering over a regiment of white dwarfs in an elaborate shrine called ''Temple of Fame.''
Together these symbols point to two kinds of modern tyranny: that of rationalized corporate control and that of eroticized consumerism. Mr. Arcadia, a young artist with an assumed name, is on to something interesting; one only hopes that he does not follow the path of Mark Kostabi, whom he resembles in some respects, into egregious cynicism.

Endeavour Silver is a predictable company. Its three mines, Guanacevi, Bolanitos and El Cubo, are well covered in the company's reports. Therefore it is quite easy to prepare the 2016 results forecast. The table below delivers all figures:
As the chart shows, assuming metal prices, metal sales and costs of production as shown in the table, in 2016 the company should deliver the EBITDA of $51.2 million.
Today Endeavour shares are trading at $5.03 a piece. At that price the company's enterprise value (EV) stands at $600.8 million so, if nothing changes, at year end the company should show a multiple of EV / EBITDA of 11.7 (today this multiple stands at 29.2).
Therefore it looks like in the medium - term Endeavour shares are not too expensive (the current high reading of 29.2 should hit 11.7 at year end).
However, the entire picture is not as bright as it seems. The company has quite a serious problem with production. This year it should produce less silver and gold than last year. Looking at operating profiles of its three mines I am confident that Guanacevi looks problematic:
Since 2014 Endeavour squeezes less and less from this operation (green line). For example, using today's prices of silver and gold, in 2014 it could sell one ton or ore processed and get around $160 for metals contained in this ore. In 2Q 2016 it was able to get only around $120 per one ton of ore. What is more, it looks like costs of production (red line) reached a plateau at around $70 - $80 per ton of ore. It means that margin delivered by Guanacevi is shrinking.
On the other side there is El Cubo:
Here everything is different (and better): metal value is going up and costs are stable or even going down.
I realize that the management team is very busy to oversee its current portfolio - well, it is not an easy task. Fortunately, there are at least two projects, which in a relatively short time may go online: El Compas and Terronera , both located in Mexico (as other operations).
To be honest, if Endeavour does not open a new mine, the problems may escalate.

Chalene, 2 years ago I lost about 25 lbs in 4 months I had gained in college thru your turbo jam. Right after I noticed my breasts became soft but had always been firmer & harder. I have been lifting weights since high school & have used a personaltrainer/bodybuilder for the past 5 months. The 1st 2 months my breasts were harder but have gone back to soft. They don't droop & are still round, but at 44 I want to make them firmer & harder again like the rest of me. He has put more muscle & definition on me, but I want my firm boobs back, what is your advice?
Hope to hear from you asap.
Thank you,

Hi Chalene, I just was wondering that since you strive to be so healthy, does that mean you eat mostly or only organic foods? I mean why consume pesticides and wreck havoc on our planet, right? Also have you ever looked into the Vegan Raw food diet/ lifestyle?
I absolutely love it, because you never feel deprived! Like if you wanted a chocolate cake, then it's totally fine AND healthy for you, because it's just nuts, dates, and raw cacao! Oh I love it so much, I got started on the diet about a little over a year ago, at a site called http://www.alissacohen.com/ it is such a great site! Please if you don't mind could you check it out; and let me know!
Love CE and TK&TJ and Piyo and hip hop hustle!!

omg! you are so hysterical! I swear, you're like a mini-ME! (I'm hysterical too!) You are SO my kind of girl! (I say you're a "mini" because you're so petite and I am ... not. I'm a tall girl. :) don't be jealous....
But anyway, I am so very glad that I chose to do your Chalean Extreme program and have you for my "instructor"! I'm doing great (about 12 days in) and I just love your sassy personality and your "get-er-done" attitude! Cheers, girl!
OH! And, BTW, I love you and I can't live without you. (that's stalker talk) LOL!

Man Arrested for Throwing Books While Referencing Scripture in Lakewood Church Store
A man was taken into custody for tossing books and knocking displays down all while referencing a particular scripture in Lakewood Church's book store yesterday.
Michael David Fletcher, 30, was arrested Thursday for causing the disturbance.
"The guy shows up and starts throwing books around and kicking stuff over," said Lakewood spokesperson Don Iloff to the Houston Chronicle. "Fortunately we have police on the premises almost all the time. He was quickly subdued."
The incident occurred 20 minutes after the store opened at 9 a.m. yesterday morning. Lakewood also told the publication that no customers were harmed during the melee.
Houston Police arrived on the scene at approximately 9:15 a.m. The department issued a brief statement regarding the matter.
"A male suspect began shouting and knocking things over," said an HPD spokesperson Jodi Silva to the Chronicle. "Lakewood has off-duty officers who provide security and they got him under control. Houston Police arrived and took him into custody."
Police also said he shouted out the scripture, Matthew 21:12, as he threw books turned over displays.
"Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there," reads Matthew 21:12. "He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves."
Fletcher engaged in a brief scuffle with police where he struggled with an off-duty Harris County sheriff's deputy, according to Click2Houston.com. The officer was eventually able to handcuff his hands and feet.
Fletcher will face a charge of criminal mischief, according to Silva.
Lakewood Church is located in Houston, Texas at the former Compaq Center where the best-selling author Joel Osteen serves as senior pastor and his wife Victoria serves as the co-pastor. It averages more than 43,500 in attendance per week and has its services syndicated on various television stations.

APO vs. Demantra
So how does SAP APO differ from Demantra an Oracle product? To my understanding, it is not able to fully perform PTPM (Predictive Trade Planning Management) capabilities? How does APO complete pre/post analysis of trade spend? Demantra is NetWeaver certified and able to run on an ERP backbone of SAP. Meaning it can be fully integrated. There are many customers currently doing this at Oracle from what I understand. What would you say to this option?

constantly being complimented
By Richard on Thursday, September 29, 2016I have owned numerous luxury, sports and performance cars but none that draw the attention of this car. when out driving it is always complimented. Taking it on Wisconsin's rural roads is exhilarating. You don't have to go top end to have a ball driving this car. Taking corners and accelerating from them is fabulous. Make sure you have everything set before heading out as you will soon be in total attention mode. The car needs you to keep it on track.

Best vehicle I have ever owned
By EricC on Friday, November 24, 2017My 1998 Ford Mustang had finally had it after 18 years in the Arizona heat. The Boxster is the best car I have ever owned. The superior engineering is evident every time I get into the car. The ride, the performance,and the fun are top notch. While it is rated 20 MPG city, I am getting over 23 by not driving it like I am in a race. The engine is so powerful, this is the first stick I have driven where I cannot tell when to shift by feel alone because the engine can handle much higher speeds at each gear than optimal. A few small nits: there is a combined passenger weight limit (recommended) of 400 pounds) which I did not see or read about before I purchased the car), the temperature control fan is always on when I turn on the vehicle even if I had it off (this is for the standard equipment) and the key is set up so that it is hard to put it on a key ring without blocking access to the key used to get into the glove compartment. Every review I read before I bought this said it was a fun car to drive and my experiences have been consistent with those reviews.

The best
By Bernie on Monday, October 15, 2012I traded a 2010 Boxster for a 2013 Boxster base. THe new car is superior in every way. The ride has improved immensely and the body structure is unbelievably solid. I live on North Michigan Ave in Chicago and drive in a lot of heavy traffic and the stop start function is incredible. The other feature of the PDK which is incredible is that it coasts on the highway when you back off your speed. the engine reves go to 1200 rpm and when you accelerate the car engine react instantaneously. The sport position on the transmission quicken acceleration response. Every little detail has been improved, e.i quality of the turning lever, the cup holders, interior design and quality. and last but not least the handling has been measurably improved. the car is a sublime driving experience!

Bandsintown, the No. 1 Mobile and Facebook Concert App, Adds "Bandsintown Specials"
NEW YORK, NY, June 19, 2012 — Bandsintown, the top free concert recommendation and notification application on Facebook, iPhone and Android, now gives bands the opportunity to make their live shows even more memorable with "Bandsintown Specials." Bands can offer their fans anything from merch to meet‐and‐greets right through their Facebook tour dates page, maintaining full control of the offer.
"Bandsintown Specials is the easiest and most effective way to create VIP offers or exclusive experiences that further cement the band's relationship with their fans, while also adding a new revenue opportunity at every show," said Julien Mitelberg, CEO of Bandsintown. "Anything from a backstage pizza party to exclusive t‐shirts and more can be offered as a Bandsintown Special – we're looking forward to seeing what imaginative bands start to offer for their dedicated fans."
Mitelberg will be speaking more about Bandsintown Specials and more today at the New Music Seminar at 10:30am on the "Social Media Movement" panel.
Bandsintown Specials are completely customizable down to the individual tour date. Artists retain 90 percent of the sale price and remain in control of the fulfillment.

Police have issued a fresh appeal for information regarding a woman whose disappearance they say is a "genuine mystery".
Svitlana Krasnoselska, also known as Lana, was last seen at her home in Micklefield, near Leeds, early on Monday, April 3.
The 40-year-old mother previously lived on Dunhill Rise, Halton, and also has connections in the East End Park area.
West Yorkshire Police's Det Supt Lisa Atkinson, who is leading the investigation, said: "It has now been five weeks since Lana went missing, and her family are still desperate to hear that she is okay.
"We have been carrying out extensive enquiries to trace her, including physical searches of the area around her home where she was last seen, and that work is ongoing.
"It is unusual for someone to be missing for this long and for us not to be able to find any trace of them and we remain very concerned for her welfare.
"We are continuing to appeal for the public's help and would like to hear from anyone who thinks they have seen her or who has any information that could assist in tracing her.
"We are still building up a picture of her lifestyle and connections and would like to hear from anyone who knows her through work or socially who has any information that could be useful to us.
"I would also like to appeal directly to Lana herself to get in touch.
"If you have gone away for whatever reason then I would urge you to contact us as soon as possible so that we can check you are okay."
Originally from Ukraine, Lana is described as 5ft 3in tall and of medium build with dark shoulder-length hair.
When she was last seen she was wearing a black coat with a fur hood and carrying a black handbag with a metal circle detail on it.
Anyone with information is asked to ring Leeds District CID on West Yorkshire Police's 101 number.

Sam Allardyce says Sunderland must avoid a 'must-win' anxiety, even if the Black Cats are playing a game of catch-up in the survival battle.
Sunderland went gung-ho for three points after they clawed back a two-goal deficit at Everton last weekend, but ended up being spanked 6-2 when the Toffees wreaked havoc on the counter-attack.
If it's a point, respect it, because it will ultimately lead to a win because it will breed confidenceSam Allardyce
Allardyce's side - lying second bottom before this weekend's games - will need to produce a dramatic upturn in results if they are to avoid the drop, with Sunderland in a worse position points-wise than at the same stage of 2013-14 when Gus Poyet oversaw the 'Great Escape'.
But with 27 games still to go, Allardyce says Sunderland's players have to realise that every point is invaluable in the battle for survival.
"There's been moments where we should have picked up points, which would have made all the difference," said Allardyce.
"That's what we've got to start believing.
"We're not in a position where we HAVE to win the game we're playing next.
"We're more in a position where we have to make sure we don't lose it and continue doing that.
"If it's a point, respect it, because it will ultimately lead to a win because it will breed confidence.
"But if you keep going to try to win it and lose it, then you're in a pickle."
Despite their lowly position, Sunderland's plight could feasibly be more encouraging.
Sunderland came away with nothing after a late defeat against Spurs when they deserved at least a share of the spoils, while they threw away a two-goal lead against West Ham in Dick Advocaat's final game in charge.
"I was speaking to Brace (Paul Bracewell, assistant manager) about what's happened before this season," added Allardyce.
"There was Tottenham here, last minute 1-0. That's a point.
"There was West Ham here, 2-0 up. That's two points dropped.
"There are small moments in a game which take things away from you and we've got to stop those small moments from happening.
"When Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool manager) talks about an extra 10 yards, I'm talking about an extra few seconds of concentration to make sure you get it right and don't concede.
"Those small moments all put together make a massive difference in terms of points.
"It could be 10 points or more that we have at this moment in time, and then our situation doesn't look quite as desperate as it is."

"Water vapor is 100,000 times the greenhouse gas that CO2 is... As to glaciers and melting. It is very important to get perspective here. Greenland in 800 AD was a pretty warm place and obviously most of the glacial ice was not there. They raised cattle there. It was a pretty nice green place. Then came the little ice age and the settlers froze out. After that we have seen massive ice in the area and you cannot raise cattle there. You also cannot raise grapes and other crops that were raised before that. We are in a melt down period at this time. It has been going on for a long time (250 years or more). There is pretty much a serious question if the arctic was frozen at all 1,000 years ago." Directory:FPPMT:Paul Noel
Water Vapor Rules the Greenhouse System - Discusses Water Vapor as being missing from most studies as a Greenhouse gas. "Water vapor constitutes Earth's most significant greenhouse gas, accounting for about 95% of Earth's greenhouse effect. Interestingly, many "facts and figures" regarding global warming completely ignore the powerful effects of water vapor in the greenhouse system, carelessly (perhaps, deliberately) overstating human impacts as much as 20-fold."

Ahhh, Sweet! Klaymen was such a sympathetic character. The Neverhood was one of the first games I ever played back then, and I loved every minute of it.
December 20, 2012 at 6:26 am
Loved It! (still do) Can we work together to bring this game to Windows Phone and or Windows 8?
April 18, 2013 at 1:24 pm
This makes me so excited. I'm really happy to see an authentic surviving Klaymen puppet from The Neverhood! Keep it somewhere safe!
June 27, 2013 at 1:46 pm
@Doug Congrats on your new project, I've been following it. I bet it will be as great as Earthworm and The Neverhood.

|American Flyer
|Manufacturer ID:
|Road Name:
|Lehigh & New England
|Year Introduced:
|In the back row are two of the most common #632 hoppers. On the left in the rear is the common black plastic variation. Some of the cars came with diecast bearing journals, while many that were included in lower-priced sets, came without bearing journals like the one in the photo. Note that the body shows some signs of warping which is typical of many acetate plastic 1946 cars.
The second car in the back row is the gray die cast metal #632 Virginian hopper that did not have the catalog number imprinted on the car. It has four movable sheet metal bottom doors. The postwar Virginian was actually a carryover from the prewar days. In 1939-41, the Virginian was cataloged as #508 and as #K508 in kit form. Unlike the postwar model, the prewar model had the catalog number printed on the upper left side of the hopper and had a different style of lettering.
In the front on the left is a rather uncommon example of a black 1946 LNE hopper with white lettering and a red dot in the center of the LNE logo with die-cast bearing journals.
The illustration in the 1946 catalog shows the #632 hopper as being gray with black lettering, which is shown on the right in the front row. The hopper is actually a bluish gray and in made of die cast metal. This model has metal sheet metal bearing journal like the #632 Virginian Hopper.
Note that the two cars in the rear are resting on early American Flyer blue and yellow boxes. The box on the left is a typical 1946 box with the words "Tru-Model". The box on the left is a later version that has the wording "3/16" Scale" instead.
Photo #2 shows an example of one of the seven other gray plastic variations of the #632 LNE Hopper in the 1946-to-1952 time frame, some of which were light gray while other were dark gray. The first produced in 1946 were light gray, with think shank link couplers and no red dot. The second is similar to the first except it has a red dot. The third produced in 1947 is dark gray thick shank link couplers and a red dot. Two of the variations were produced in 1948 with a red dot and link couplers with a brass weight, one is light gray while the second is dark gray. From 1949 through 1952 two other variations were produced, both have a red dot and link couplers with a red dot. The first is dark gray while the second, as shown in the Photo #2, is light gray.
Some of the #632 hoppers had weights on their trucks to help them track better.

"Oh, no! Mom, I think I broke this." "Mom, was I suppose to touch that?" "Mom, why is that lady giving me dirty looks?"
Those, my friend, are things you do not want to hear your child say while in a museum or art gallery. I know, because I have been there.
Museums and art galleries, contrary to many people's beliefs, are not just for adults, kids also can enjoy them. In fact, I use museums and art galleries as learning tools for my kids, I want them to have broad interest and so far this has paid off.
However, over the past 10 years I have failed, failed again, wanted to pull my hair out, and finally learned a few things about enjoying a museum or art gallery with kids.
1. Set reasonable expectations
Expecting your 15 year old to be quiet for an hour is understandable, but expecting your 6 year old to be quiet for 10 minutes is out of the question. The way I conquer the obstacle of being quiet with my 6 year is to spend a short amount of time in each area. He gets bored easily, he has a short attention span, and he is a boy – that alone explains a lot – when he is done looking, so am I.
2. Pick places that interest them
There are museums and art galleries aimed towards anything you can think of. My 10 year old daughter could spend the entire day at the Harry S Truman Library and Museum. My son? Not so much – once we passed the area that doors he could open and close, he was done, it was time to go. Now take him to a museum that has pre-historic animals or tractors and we will be there for hours.
3. Explain the rules on their level
My 10 year old can read and has a great vocabulary, so she gets the words "do not touch," but my 6 year old thinks they are an invitation to grab, shake, and roll on the ground. He has no clue why that sign does not want him to touch the 100 year old lampshade with dangly things hanging from it, so I have to explain it to him — very plainly, or bribe him with ice cream.
4. Ask where the kid friendly area is first
Many museums now encourage kids to visit by having an area for kids to explore. The children's area is often my first and last stop in the museum, first we run out our energy in the kid's area, then I later use that area to bribe them to be good. "If you are good for 10 more minutes, we can return to the play area" – works every time.
5. Split them up
Every child is unique; I have a boy and a girl, and used to spend hours trying to make one enjoy something just so the other could have fun. Forget that, it is not worth the headache. Now if I see something my 10 year old daughter would love, but know my 6 year old could not sit still long enough for it, I just take her.
6. Take Grandma and Grandpa along
Extra hands mean extra sanity. My mom rarely travels with us, but sometimes I invite her along as an extra distraction. While the kids get bored exploring things with me; exploring with Grandma is something new. They like to play tour guide, or show Grandma things that interest them, and grandma has a funny way of making it more special.
Start them at an early age
If a child grows up with an appreciation for museums and galleries they will not only love them, but they will also respect them. My children have been going since they were newborns and they are still love to go, but most of all they know how to "mostly" behave in a museum. I have seen first hand children that have never been to a museum before and suddenly at the age of 8 they are drug to one; this could lead to a nightmare in the making.

Highschool of the Dead: Drifters of the Dead (Blu-Ray)

Running time: 16
Distributor: Sentai Filmworks
Release date: 2013-11-26
Suggested retail price: $9.98
Age rating: 17+
When an unplanned stop on a deserted island gives Takashi, Saeko and the rest of the ragged band of survivors a chance to expose themselves to something other than zombie bites for a change, they're more than ready to take a break and let their hair down. Discovering the remnants of an old beach store, the entire group strips to swimsuits and sets out to make the uninhabited island inhabitable, but they're unaware that this seeming paradise is actually just the dead calm before the storm.
Sometimes the recently deceased aren't the only problems that can lie buried in the sand, and as the swimwear comes off and the inhibitions come down, a kink in the island's food chain sets a truly shocking series of events into motion! You won't believe what comes out next, but suffice it to say that the deserted island may not be so deserted after all!
Spoken Languages: English, Japanese, English subtitles.

ALBUM REVIEW: My Everything-Ariana Grande
Released August 25, 2014, My Everything is Ariana's sophomore album, and she doesn't disappoint! Her first album, Yours Truly, was a good introduction, and a lot of great pop songs and even a few 50s doo-wop tracks, that really showcased Ariana's talent as a singer. However, it's clear with My Everything, Ariana has grown up and really taken the reins on her musical choices
Read my review of Ariana's new album below!
"I'll give you all I have, and nothing less I promise..." My Everything starts out with a beautiful, melodic Intro from Ariana to her listenerss, promising that if they go along with her for the ride, she's going to give them her everything!
"Head in the clouds, got no weight on my shoulders..." "Problem" was Ariana's first official single, featuring rapper Iggy Azalea, and the track has literally taken over the summer. And for good reason. The catchy hook and upbeat tempo, along with its feminist approach ("I got one less problem without you boy!") made it perfect for listeners, specifically females, to connect to! Ariana and Iggy speak on how they finally learned their lesson with ex loves and let them go, and now they ain't go no worries, no problems!
"And I know, and I know, and I know that you got everything...but I got nothing here without you." We begin to see Ariana's growth and experimentation with the electronic track "One Last Time." As she sings about getting one last chance with her ex, the track will have you dancing and possibly in your feelings at the same time.
"You and I redefine being love sick, love sick, love sick...through it all you could still make my heart skip, heart skip." As I listened to "Why Try" reminds me of a lighter, friendlier version of Eminem & Rihanna's "I Love The Way You Lie," with the same concept: an unhealthy relationship that you can't bear to leave, because through everything, the love is still there.
"I only want to die alive, never by the hands of a broken heart. I don't wanna hear you lie tonight now that I've become who I really am." Ariana continues to break away from her standard pop and R&B roots with "Break Free." The official second single of the album, which features work from Russian-German producer Zedd, is all electropop, EDM music. It's not my favorite on the album, but sometimes it takes me a while to warm up to a song. It's perfect for the club, though!
"Break up, make up, total waste of time....Can we please make up our minds? And stop acting like we're blind? "Best Mistake" featuring rapper and Ariana's supposed new boyfriend Big Sean is easily one of the best tracks on the record. The third official sing features Ariana's smooth vocals lamenting over her current situation with her man. Clearly, they're drifting away from each other, but still love each other, and really need to come to a decision with what they want to do with their relationship. To be honest, part of me would rather hear the song without Sean's verse, but after repeating it enough times, I love the song so much that I just go with the flow.
"If you know how to be my lover, maybe you can be my baby. Hold me close under the covers...kiss me boy and drive me crazy." The mid-tempo, fun track "Be My Baby" featuring Cashmere Cat is the track that reminds me very much of Mariah Carey (the comparisons will always be there!). It's about looking for that special someone. If you know how to treat me right, then you can be the one for m e. I can see the teenyboppers singing this to the top of their lungs at her concert!
"You said I was your best, would be your last. Now he's gone, you're alone, don't want you back.""Break Your Heart Right Back" takes an interesting turn on the album. While in love with her boyfriend, Ariana sings of finding out that her boyfriend wanted someone else....another guy! However, the other guy ended up leaving him, and Ariana refuses to take him back, for good reason! She wants him to feel exactly how she felt when he left her. The track, featuring Childish Gambino, samples "I'm Coming Out" by Diana Ross...pretty appropriate I guess!
"So what if I can't figure it out? (You got to try, try, try again) So what if I can't figure it out? (I'm gonna leave, leave, leave)." The next track, "Love Me Harder" with The Weeknd, is probably one of my favorites on the album. Ariana and Weeknd sing of a typical relationship problem: one party isn't giving enough in the relationship, and the other I've never heard The Weeknd on this upbeat a track (it's mid-tempo, but I'm used to slow ballads from him). Their voices together are so great on this track!
"Just a little bit of your heart is all I'm asking for..." On the power ballad of the album, "Just a Little Bit Of Your Heart," Ariana sings emotionally about knowing that she's not the only one that her man spends time with, but she would rather have a little love than none at all. It's not necessarily my situation, but I still liked the song.
"Eyes on me, dance on me tonight...You're all, all on me. Keep your hands on me.." "Hands on Me" featuring ASAP Ferg is an upbeat track that you could play in the club or before you get ready, but very basic. The entire song is "Put your hands on it, put your hands on it," quite literally....that's the hook. For me, it's a miss, but I might warm up to it later.
"You were my everything 'til we were nothing. And it's taken me a lot to say...Now that you're gone, my heart is missing something..."The album ends beautifully with "My Everything," an emotional ballad that reflects Ariana's regret in a failed relationship. She still wants her ex, and she feels empty without him. My only wish is that the song was a little bit longer! It was an emotional way to end the standard album, but I loved it!
Bonus tracks on the deluxe version that I have are "Bang Bang" with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj, which is a SMASH HIT, and currently one of my favorite songs to drive and work out to! The deluxe version also includes "Only 1" and "You Don't Know Me," both two great tracks!
I really love this album! Yours Truly did a great job of introducing Ariana outside of her Nickelodeon roots, and as a viable singer. However, with My Everything, Ariana has shown just how much she has grown in the past year. Many still see her as a little girl, but she is 21! She's a really, really cute 21 year old, but a 21 year old none the less. She explored more mature themes with this album, and developed a really great album, which has gone #1 in 80 countries!
★★★★ 1/2 (Four and a half stars)

We never stop looking for unique ways in which to create inspiration – the key to great design is having great assets. Influenced by a variety of dance styles, each dancer showcased their own characteristics to create a range of colours and textures. Using Adobe Capture CC and Adobe Illustrator CC, Brian (@BHybridDance) transformed them into creative assets. See how these assets have been used below. Try Adobe Creative Cloud for free and start experimenting yourself.
Open the Adobe Capture CC app and choose the Shape tool. Find a shape you like and then tap the plus sign. Now drag the slider and green-marked parts you want to capture. I used the paint marks created by the dancers but you can use any shape you find.
In the same app, choose the Colors tool to capture a colour palette. The various paint marks provided me with lots of colour options. Make sure you save your assets into your library.
Open Illustrator CC and begin by creating an artboard, (If you don't have Illustrator CC, you can try it free of charge). Now open your asset library by first clicking Window on the menu and then Libraries. The shapes and colours you've just captured will be displayed on the library panel. Drag your shapes directly onto your artboard.
Once you've placed out your selected shapes you can change their sizes by first selecting them using the Selection tool and then dragging one of the corner handles. To keep the objects from becoming elongated or compressed, you can hold down the Shift key while changing the sizes. You can also combine the shapes and delete parts using the Direct Selection tool to create more interesting patterns.
Hold down the alt key and drag the 'B' graphic from your asset library directly onto your artboard.
Bring your newly created pattern in front of the 'B' by selecting it with the Selection tool and going to the Object menu, Arrange and then select Bring to Front. You can change the colours of your shape by going to the library panel and right-click one of the colour swatches you created earlier, and then choose Add to Swatches. After this, select the various parts of your shapes using the Direct Selection tool and click Swatch with the colour you want to apply to the shape.
Copy the 'B' shape by selecting it with the Selection tool and going to the Edit menu and selecting Copy (CMD+C if you have a Mac, or CTRL+C if you have a PC), then paste in place by again going to the edit menu and selecting Paste in Place (Shift+CMD+V if you have a Mac, or Shift+CTRL+V if you have a PC). Select all parts by going to the Select menu and selecting All (CMD+A if you have a Mac, or CTRL+A if you have a PC). Finally go to the Object menu and select Clipping Mask and then Make.
I decided to create a poster for B-Hybrid's upcoming event 'Human Movement Festival 2016'.
Open InDesign (If you don't have InDesign CC, you can try it free of charge) and place your design into a new file. Then using fonts from Typekit add your copy. Finally place the file 'B-Hybrid logo' from your asset library into your file to complete your poster.
We were not sure what we were going to get, but that was definitely the excitement of the experiment.

From Hot Air: "Bernie Sanders: This GOP health-care bill could be like nine 9/11s every year. A leftover from yesterday in which Bernie reminds us again that the "climate of hate" moral panic only works against one side. Imagine a Republican senator having a deranged fan who shot up a baseball field full of Democratic congressmen, then turning around a few weeks later and explicitly framing the latest Democratic bill in terms of how many terrorist attacks it's equivalent to. At best, that would be denounced as grossly irresponsible. At worst, knowing incitement."
The GOP had better hurry up and pass some sort of Obamacare replacement before we get stuck with a Sanders-style single-payer system!

This was the view as we entered town. The farmers are on their second cutting of hay, which is good. A wet spring also brings lots of grasshoppers and mosquitoes. Not so good! Why don't they ever bite my husband? I must have 40 bites (even with mosquito repellent). Him? Nary a one.
I had some time to work on my rug this weekend. I added five more rows and doubled its size. I have decided not to buy any fabric and just let it be a true scrap rug. You see, I have a room full of fabric. Some people collect stray pets from the pound; I collect stray fabric. From friends, quilt guild members; I never met a piece of fabric I didn't like (well, not exactly true, but I can't bear to see it wasted). So I have quite enough for a scrap rug. Enough fabric for a lifetime (mine and several other people's) of scrap rugs. Fabric that is not exactly right for a quilt block looks fine in a rug. Odd patterns are disguised and sometimes the "uglies" are the nicest surprise! My only qualification is that the fabric be 100% cotton.
I promised to tell the story that goes along with this rug.
I have some dear friends, Kris and Jay. Jay's mother Melba, learned this craft, which she calls Swedish rug braiding, many, many years ago. An elderly Swedish immigrant who was a member of Melba's church congregation was concerned that this craft would die out so she asked some of her young friends to learn it. Melba agreed. Shortly after, her friend passed away but Melba is still braiding rugs. Jay wanted to spend some quality time with his now-elderly mother so he asked her to teach him to braid. Jay makes his from
old sheets from second hand stores (there is a lot of yardage in one sheet and apparently Jay does not have a fabric stash he wants to use up). My friend Rosie asked Jay to teach her to braid and he did. Then I asked Jay to teach me and he and Kris taught me. Rosie, having already made her rug by this time, gave me a few pointers, which I adapted some, and changed a bit, and added to Jay and Kris' instructions. Thus, I am making my braided Swedish Rug, with adapted techniques that work best for me.
I expect this rug will last a long time; although not quite an heirloom like my quilts. I love that my friends and family are represented in it. I've braided strips of of leftover fabric from things I've made for each of my children, some from my own quilts, and even fabric from a few of my husband's purchased cotton dress-shirts. Rosie gifted me the leftover fabric strips from her rug, so she's represented, as are Jay and Kris. Even Melba and her long dead Swedish friend are part of the rug's story. Even though the Swedish woman's name was long ago forgotten, her beloved craft is still alive and providing joy to a new generation of crafters. I hope that she knows this and is content.
And Me? I'm in there too. You see it takes a lot of patience and commitment to braid a rug.

Breaking News From Liverpool And Merseyside Monday August 1
There are couple of futuristic suggestions that have lost their sheen as swiftly as the notion that settlements of Maori grievances would enhance New Zealand's race relations. The insider revealed that among several other things uncovered by the investigation, the FBI found that every department and agency inside our own government is somehow intertwined with the Clinton Foundation, like the leaders at virtually every level inside these departments and agencies, and also numerous world leaders.
National news that is broadcast over a radio network requires continual monitoring by station personnel to enable the network coverage to air, despite the fact that many stations will take the 'urgent' signal sent by the network and break into programming immediately.
By the news accounts of what is happening in the European and Scandinavian nations, all Americans ought to know to be ready to defend themselves and their loved ones, their properties, schools, workplaces, cities and nation, and to be ready to rid our nation of these jihadis being forced upon us by the criminals in Wash DC and the United Nations.
This is apparent on the regional all-news radio stations owned by CBS Radio , which very rarely use a breaking news theme for all but the most urgent and dire of breaking news, and is purposefully structured to give a sense of focus for the listener, practically sounding like an alarm.
As reported by us in a news flash on July 31st, Najib is negotiating now to preserve at least part of his fortune and have protection from Khazarian assassins in exchange for testifying about Malaysian Airlines flight 370 and other things, the Asian CIA sources say.
Looks like the globe leaders meeting, the recovery plan and the bailout plan are kicking in. We have a rocky road ahead of us even though, and like Pelosi mentioned yesterday, it is time for belt tightening. Uncover it even quicker than twitter at times and a lot fasyer than key news networks. In Breaking the Guidelines of Watercolour, Shirley explains all her painting choices and demonstrates her techniques at each and every stage. Frequently it is deemed essential to be fast with news bulletins also for less important news. Throughout the American Civil War and the Planet Wars, civilians and governments had been shocked by photographs of gruesome battles and tragic bloodshed. The Taranaki Daily News investigates claims a group of squatters took over the neighbourhood and left residents scared for their life to complain about it.

Don't lose weight! Get healthy! Part 1
New Year's resolutions
YES! You got the right idea! That extra weight you are carrying is just not appealing to you or your partner anymore . That special party dress, or your favorite 3 piece suit just doesn't fit anymore. Where have those slender years and curvy bodies gone? Trust me, I know the feeling! I've been there before…
Time to make a change
I used to be overweight, carrying an extra 50 pounds wherever I went. I was out of breath most of the time and had develop sleep apnea. Luckily I succeeded in giving up smoking many years ago, but now I was on my way to diabetes and other serious health issues.
It goes without saying that I felt I was going from a bad situation to worse and it was now time to make a change. So I did!!! and I'm happy to share my transformation tools with you!
Here comes 2016!
That was then in 2010, and today in 2016 I've been able to keep most of the extra weight off! An amazing success story! I have to admit that some kilos have crept back, but today I have the great advantage of knowing exactly why this is happening, and how to get to my healthy self again!
This is exactly what I wish to give you in this first and the upcoming posts that will lead you into the beautiful, slender and healthy person you deserve to be. So join me in this journey of you as I'll give you guidance, information and action steps to transform your life. And to go even further you can get introduced to my '7 Steps To Loving Your LIFE' program on these pages and on the 7 steps website here
So relax, have fun and let's get started with Part 1
Part 1 : Let's get to know each other!
The first step is all about getting to know each other, and in this case getting to know 'you'. When we start on a journey we have to start from somewhere to get somewhere. It is no different in this wonderful transformation journey.
Action Step #1: Buy yourself a journal
This journal is your most precious friend, your confident and your personal helper. I remember years ago as I was leaving for a 3 month trip to Europe my sister gave me a journal to write down my adventures and experiences. Thirty years later I enjoy rediscovering the challenges and joy of new sights and friendships I had forgotten. I do understand we now live in the digital age, but I suggest getting a 'hard copy' journal for reasons I'll detail later.
Action Step #2: Take a photo
Yes I know the dreaded photo! Now you don't have to be as explicit as I was, bathing suit and all, but a before and after shots are a great way not only to celebrate your progress, but to serve as a reminder of where you have been and what you have achieved. Keep it secret, or show it to a few friends who can become your accountability buddies. That's up to you!
Action Step #3: Start writing
Your journal becomes your new best friend, and he's (she's) going to help getting a snapshot of your present feelings and eating habits. In my 7 steps program I call this acknowledging where you are today by doing a first inventory of your present life.
What to write? you can start with why you feel you are overweight, and what are your motivations to start to change? Also note down what you are eating and at what time of day. Specifics such as portion size are not necessary at this point, so don't worry about it. Your feelings and habits are our starting tools. No need to get in too deep, but if you feel like it you can always write on other subjects then I suggested. As with your photo your journal is only meant for you, no need to share it around. Most importantly this is a non-evaluative judgmental journal. We are just here to get know and appreciate each other!
Get ready!
Congratulation, you are now on your way to greater health and happiness, as well as a renewed sexiness! The sky is the limit!
So I hear some of you saying: 'Wait! where's the Diet, the exercises, the do's and the don'ts of any slimming program? Shouldn't we have to suffer from privation or ache all over or something?' Well not really! I'm sure you are all referring to the 'no pain, no gain'mentality; and understandably so. These privation and grunts offers a painful temporary solution to a long term situation, which is why 95% of diets fail. Short term, yes, you can make yourself suffer to affect some changes, but in the long term these methods generally fails.
'But I didn't even get to weigh myself!' Oh, you noticed that too! Fine, you can do that to if you wish, but it is not necessary. Numbers on a scale, as well as body mass index won't give you the benefits of a healthy and happy life. How you do feel inside, your levels of energy you show and the positive outlook you will be gaining, this is what really matters. What you wish for is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
In Part 2 we will look into the Emotional Value as well as the Nutritional Value of the foods you are choosing everyday. Your journal will show both of us why you are in your present situation, and where we can start to make some changes.
So to recap, here are my 3 Action Steps for Part 1:
Action Step #1: Buy yourself a journal
Action Step #2: Take a photo
Action Step #3: Start writing
Thank you!
Thank you for taking part in this journey together. Remember to subscribe to this blog to be up to date, and to the Facebook pages to get the most current information.
Love you all!

Hollywood and Mirfield's very own Sir Patrick Stewart has stepped up to support the Yorkshire 'Be a Hero' campaign by producing a video encouraging Yorkshire people to be heroes.
The video clip, released during National Transplant Week, is a boost to the Be a Hero campaign, which aims to encourage Yorkshire residents to sign the organ donation register.
In Yorkshire alone, there are shockingly around 800 people still waiting for an organ to save their lives. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust hopes the Be a Hero campaign will raise awareness of the need for donors and inspire more people to take two minutes to sign the donor register.
Sir Patrick Stewart said: "I am delighted to be backing this crucial campaign. Anyone can find themselves in a position where they need an organ, so I would encourage everyone in Yorkshire to take two minutes out of their day, sign the organ donor register and Be a Hero.
"It's remarkable that one person has the potential to save nine lives. Once you've signed up it's really important that you share your wishes with your loved ones, so they know you're on the register."
Following the successful launch of Leeds Teaching Hospital NHS Trust's (LTHT) Yorkshire wide Be A Hero campaign in July, almost 13,000 people have signed the donor register in Yorkshire during the first six weeks of the campaign.
The Leeds Transplant Centre at LTHT has been providing complex specialist organ transplantation services for the Yorkshire and Humber region for over 25 years. It is the third largest liver transplant unit in the UK, a leading centre for 'live related' transplants and a regional centre for renal transplants.
You can find out more about organ donation and join the NHS Organ Donor Register at www.leedsth.nhs.uk/be-a-hero or by calling 0300 123 23 23 - please remember to reference the Yorkshire Be A Hero campaign.

10 Life lessons from the shore (and a big giveaway!)
My kids helped me come up with this list, amidst laughter and some tears (happy I hope). So without further ado, life lessons from the sandy shore.
1) You don't need a surfboard to surf
2) Boogie boards give you carpet burn on your tummy
3) There are bugs in the sand that bite you
4) Electronics aren't so great in the sun
5) Sunburn hurts
6) The ocean floor can disappear from under your feet
7) The beach does amazing things to my hair
8) There are crabs
9) The sand can scorch your feet
10) The water burns your eyes
Awesome, huh? Fun fun. We'll always remember this trip. Me and my four little bacon bits.
But let's talk about #4! Electronics aren't great for the sun.
Normally, if you asked me paperback or ebook, I'd say ebook. Hundreds of books in the palm of my hand, cheaper, my kindle can read to me . . .
All of which was pointless at the beach. I couldn't see my phone and I didn't want to get my kindle wet or sandy. And nothing was more comfortable than holding a paperback. But I only brought one! So I realized, if I'm going to the beach, I need books! Lots of books!
And so do you, whether it's the beach, the lake, or the pool!
So I created a beach pack Goddess of Fate giveaway!
Of course, there are things I want in return. (Big smiley face.) I'm calling this the LAY ME DOWN review push and my prizes will be given out in tiers, depending on how many reviews for LAY ME DOWN I get. I want 100. I'll run this giveaway for the rest of June, and if I get no new reviews, I'll give away a $10 gift card.
But if my book ends up with 50 reviews, I'll give away the gift card to one person and paperback copies of the GODDESS OF FATE series to another person!
It doesn't end there! If we get up to 75 reviews, I'll give away both of the previous give aways AND a third giveaway, the GODDESS OF FATE series and the $10 gift card!
And if we make it to all 100 reviews, I'll give away a beach pack (in addition to the other giveaways) including: the two paperback books, a beach mat, sunscreen, lip balm, aloe, lotion, and a tote bag.*
If you haven't read LAY ME DOWN, you've got three weeks to do it and get your review in! If you've already reviewed it, you get five entries for that and additional entries if you review other books of mine. You also get entries automatically for being one of my readers and/or following me on Facebook!
If you have any questions, please ask in the comments! Then I can address the answer for everyone.
So hop on over to the giveaway and get your entries in! Can't wait to see who wins!
Still need a copy of LAY ME DOWN? Get it here!
*Winner outside of the United States will be sent the paperback and the equivalent gift card amount of the beach pack.

Air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps are widely regarded as some of the most versatile and cost-effective pumps available for fluid transfer. Configurable to pump nearly any pourable fluid from caustic acids to abrasive slurries, this configuration flexibility often creates confusion and anxiety when selecting an AODD. In each application, different pump materials will be suited for varying factors such as pH levels, abrasives, temperature and fluid density. This article identifies and recommends popular ball, seat and diaphragm materials (internal pump components) and pump fluid sections (pump bodies) to perform in applications with varying fluid characteristics. These are general guidelines and points to consider when specifying the correct configuration. Prior to purchase or operation, it is important to check the manufacturer's specifications and chemical compatibility guides.
Control corrosion
Specifying a pump to safely handle chemicals with fluctuating pH levels and varied concentrations presents a challenge when configuring an AODD pump, which requires the proper selection of internal pump components and pump bodies to ensure compatibility, avoid pump corrosion and minimize maintenance intervals. In applications in which pH levels change or when concentrations of the chemical may vary, plastic pump bodies such as polypropylene, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF or Kynar®) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are commonly chosen because of the materials' chemical inertness.
PTFE offers the highest chemical compatibility and can generally be safely used with the most acidic acids, such as hydrochloric, to the most basic chemicals, such as sodium hydroxide. However, in many cases PTFE is unnecessary when PVDF or polypropylene options are sufficient. To this point, the most important step in the material selection process is to reference the manufacturer's available chemical compatibility guides for direction on appropriate pump materials for the chemical in question.
Recommendation: Check manufacturer's chemical compatibility guide.
Reduce wear
As mentioned above, PTFE is popular because of its high level of chemical inertness and compatibility in high-temperature applications, but it is often misapplied in abrasive applications, such as chemical slurries. Generally, metal pump bodies such as stainless steel, aluminum and Hastelloy® are best for abrasive fluids. In applications with abrasives, Santoprene® and Geolast® internal pump components will provide longevity and resistance to destructive abrasives. Applications with petroleum-based fluids, such as waste oil, are best paired with Geolast ball, seat and diaphragm materials. Santoprene, one of the most versatile elastomers, offers good chemical compatibility and excellent abrasive resistance. Although all of these materials excel with abrasive fluids, it is recommended to check chemical compatibility.
Recommendation: Stainless steel pumps with Geolast or Santoprene wetted materials.
Verify temperature
To expedite production and reduce manufacturing costs, more and more plant processes operate at extreme temperatures. The increase in temperature adds another level of complexity to material selection. In demanding temperature applications, plastic pump bodies are not recommended because of the effects of cold flow and creep that can lead to leaking. As temperatures exceed 180°F, choices of compatible internal components drastically decrease. At these elevated temperatures, materials such as fluoroelastomer (FKM or Viton®), ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM), PTFE and PVDF are preferred. EPDM and FKM have the highest heat resistance, rated to 275°F and 320°F, respectively. PTFE and PVDF materials are the next best alternatives, rated to 212°F and 225°F, respectively.
In cold environments such as natural gas fields in the Pacific Northwest, glycol transfer pumps are required to withstand frigid environments that can dip well below zero degrees, thus requiring aluminum, stainless steel, EPDM, FKM and Santoprene. It is important to identify temperature limits of all components in the pump. Just because the internal pump components are rated to an extremely low or high temperature does not mean the pump body material is rated to the same level, and vice versa. Be sure to identify temperature ratings of all components when configuring an AODD pump, which can be found in product manuals.
Recommendation: Aluminum or stainless steel pumps with FKM, EPDM, PTFE or PVDF wetted materials in high-temperature applications. Aluminum or stainless steel pumps with EPDM, FKM or Santoprene wetted materials in low-temperature applications.
Check fluid density
The weight of a liquid, referred to as fluid density, is commonly overlooked when configuring a diaphragm pump. Diaphragm pumps utilize ball checks that rise and fall as pressure changes occur within the fluid chambers of the pump. Many different metal and elastomer configurations are available for ball checks. Each of these materials has a different weight, or specific gravity. It is important to understand how this weight relates to the fluid.
For example, when transferring a low-viscosity fluid, such as sodium hypochlorite, the weight of the ball is not of critical importance because the fluid is not restrictive during the ball seating process. In contrast, a 30 percent slurry has a higher viscosity that requires a heavier ball to "cut" through the restrictive slurry so the ball seats properly. Denser fluids typically require heavier ball checks to seat reliably. If the ball is too light, it will hang up in the slurry and will not seat, leading to poor pump performance that includes priming issues and cavitation.
Recommendation: Depending on the chemical compatibility results, weighted neoprene, stainless steel and PTFE ball checks have the highest specific gravity, or weight, allowing the ball checks to seat reliably through high-viscosity fluids.
Minimize costs
Is PTFE really needed, or will Santoprene work just as well with 25 percent sulfuric acid? This is another reason why it is important to reference chemical compatibility guides. More often than not, multiple material configurations can be considered once the chemical compatibility, fluid abrasives, temperature and fluid density are measured. This is the time to think about price. Polyproylene, Geolast, EPDM, TPE and aluminum are ideal for configuring a cost-effective pump. As variables such as abrasives or temperature become more challenging, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), neoprene or nitrile may be required to reliably handle the fluid, increasing the cost of the pump.
Specialty materials intended to handle the most extreme fluid characteristics include PTFE, PVDF, FKM, Hastelloy and stainless steel. These materials add the most cost to the configured pump. Many users believe that during a repair, the same materials must be reordered to ensure the pump has the appropriate materials. Instead, consult a chemical compatibility guide to see if other materials are adequately suited for the same fluid that can reduce the cost of the pump. It is surprising how many AODD pumps are misconfigured from the start.
Recommendation: Polypropylene, Geolast, EPDM, TPE and aluminum are considered cost-effective material options. Midrange materials include UHMWPE, neoprene and nitrile. PTFE, PVDF, FKM and stainless steel are specialty materials at higher price points.
Fluid characteristics such as pH levels, abrasiveness, temperature and fluid density must be considered when configuring an AODD pump. The available choices may seem overwhelming, but the tips above should reduce confusion and anxiety when configuring a pump. Always check chemical compatibility guides found on manufacturers' websites to ensure pump materials are suitable for the fluid being transferred. In addition, use the tool in Table 1 to identify alternative materials to reduce the overall cost of the pump. Manufacturers' websites often feature online pump selector tools to assist in configuring a pump. Print catalogs have thousands of part numbers to comb through, but new online tools can assist in configuring a pump in a matter of seconds.

#growthmindset is a hot topic in the education world currently and Class Dojo has jumped on board by creating cute, engaging videos that tell kids "the brain is a muscle that needs to be worked out."
If you haven't shown these videos yet - put them in your plans for next week!! They've released two videos so far (just a couple minutes long for each) and they have three more planned!
We typically do a gonoodle brain break each day before writing time, but we substituted with the videos twice this week instead! Just go to your class dojo page and click on the 'big ideas' tab. The videos will pop right up.
Since it's the end of the 2nd marking period for us this week - new semester means new partners! If you use partners in your classroom a lot (two heads are better than one) than you need to download these phone partner templates from Young Teacher Love. For years, I used a strategy similar to this one but with clocks - when I saw Kristine's phone templates a few years ago I HAD to replace our clocks with her phones - I mean it's the 21st century, right? Better get with the times!
The concept is easy - each student gets a phone template and walks around the classroom searching for ten partners. I laminate the phones when they're completed and we tape them to our desks. Whenever the students need to check over their work with a partner, discuss ideas or work together, etc., I spin a spinner and they find that number partner quickly. Takes all of about 10 seconds to determine partners this way. And we use partners several times daily so this is a HUGE timesaver in room 206!
End of the marking period also means LOTS of assessing! To review for our math summative assessment this week we played one of my favorite review games - Math Baseball. This idea was passed on to me from a former collegue and it's never gotten old!
Here's a quick run-down of how to play - separate the class into two teams. Number each student 1-15 in team one, and 1-15 in team two. (numbes will vary depending on your number of students) Draw two baseball diamonds on the board - or create reusable posters like I have. Bring batter number ones up to the board, all of the remaining students are outfielders. Give the students a review question to solve. The batters solve it on the board but keep their work covered up. The outfielders solve it at their desks. Call a random outfielder number, check each outfielder's work. If correct, the team moves a base. Check the batter's work. If correct, the team moves a base. Play until all review questions are complete. The team with the most runs is the winner!! What I love most about this game is that ALL students are engaged the entire game!
We took a BIG writing test this week too over opinion essays. What I've noticed over the past few years of teaching opinion writing is that my students are good at forming an opinion and good at backing it up with evidence and good with arguing their point (what kid isn't???), but they struggle with putting all that great thinking into the correct opinion essay structure. So we created this anchor chart to help with remembering the format for an opinion essay! I think it really helped!

I ordered some buttons to give out with orders, and they arrived the other day. Personally I usually glance at business cards and then throw them out, but I thought maybe buttons would be an item that people would hold on to and possibly even pin on their clothes or bag.

Wal-Mart Snags Exclusive Springsteen Hits Set
The 12-track set omits material from Springsteen's albums without the E Street Band to round up classics such as "Born To Run," "Thunder Road," "Born in the U.S.A." and "Darkness on the Edge of Town."
Both "Greatest Hits" and "Working on a Dream" will be in stores when Springsteen and company perform at the Super Bowl XLIII halftime show on Feb. 1 in Tampa, Fla.
Like last year's "Magic," the new album was produced by Brendan O'Brien. Springsteen began writing material before "Magic" was even complete, and "agreed we'd somehow find time during the touring year to get this record made," the Boss writes on his Web site.
Indeed, O'Brien's ability to help Springsteen and the band multitask "has allowed us to get a steadier stream of our best music out to our fans," the artist says. "This is something I've always wanted to do. We found time to book sessions, get the band while it was hot off the road, write and record a new record, while giving our audience what I hope was some of the best E Street shows we've ever done."
Meanwhile, Springsteen made a surprise appearance last night (Dec. 22) at the fourth Hope Concert in Red Bank, N.J., which also featured Jon Bon Jovi and Southside Johnny. The Boss performed "Run Run Rudolph" with Bon Jovi and then played "Merry Christmas Baby," "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town," "634-5789," "10th Avenune Freeze-Out" and "Having a Party" with the house band.
Here is the track list for "Greatest Hits":
"Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)"
"Born To Run"
"Thunder Road"
"Darkness on the Edge of Town"
"Hungry Heart"
"Glory Days"
"Dancing in the Dark"
"Born in the U.S.A."
"The Rising"
"Lonesome Day"
"Radio Nowhere"
