Newspapers switch their endorsements to Romney
28 newspapers that endorsed Obama in 2008 now support GOP contender
In a dramatic switch of support, 28 newspapers that originally endorsed President Barack Obama in 2008 are currently endorsing GOP contender Mitt Romney. This has proved true of conservative - as well as some liberal-leaning newspapers.
In spite of the weight given to their presidential endorsements, most agree that newspaper circulation is down and that Internet-based publications are how many Americans get their news today.
No surprise, the reason given for the endorsement over Obama for Romney boiled down to a single, ongoing troubling issue: the U.S. economy.
Four years ago, the Des Moines Register who heartily endorsed Obama, have now handed their endorsement to Romney and talked about the economy growing at an "unacceptably anemic rate." Three other Iowa newspapers are also backing Romney.
"It verges on magical thinking to expect Obama to get different results in the next four years. And while the nation's economy is still sputtering nearly four years after Obama took office, the federal government is more than $5 trillion deeper in debt," The Orlando Sentinel wrote in its endorsement.
"It just racked up its fourth straight 13-figure shortfall. Obama's defenders would argue that he inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression, and would have made more progress if not for obstruction from Republicans in Congress. But Democrats held strong majorities in the House and Senate during his first two years."
The Tennessean, known for its liberal leanings, also endorsed Mitt Romney this year. The newspaper made it clear that it was a reluctant endorsement. "With great reservations, the editorial board of this newspaper gives the nod to Mr. Romney." Their reason? the economy.
The newspapers that endorsed President Obama cited his work on social issues, especially those benefitting the poor -- which unfortunately has also added more digits to the nation's expanding federal deficit.
"President Obama has shown a firm commitment to using government to help foster growth," The New York Times wrote in its endorsement. "He has formed sensible budget policies that are not dedicated to protecting the powerful, and has worked to save the social safety net to protect the powerless."
Then again, do these newspapers really have the power to sway public opinion?
Brown University professor Brian Knight found in 2008 that newspaper endorsements can carry some weight, but the determining factor comes down to the credibility of the publication. Do these newspaper readers feel the endorsement was reached in an objective manner based on what is best for the nation as a whole?
"Voters are sophisticated and attempt to filter out any bias in media coverage of politics," Knight wrote.
Greg Mitchell, the former editor of Editor and Publishing magazine, a publication devoted to the newspaper industry, offered his own take on the subject
"I would certainly never argue that editorial endorsements are key today, but judging from my experience in 2004 and 2008, they should not be ignored," Mitchell wrote in a September article in The Nation.
Mitchell also recognizes that print newspaper circulation is down and that Internet-based publications are how many Americans get their news today.

Showtime to produce Prayers for Bobby
BY Advocate.com Editors
April 16 2003 11:00 PM ET
Variety reports that Showtime will adapt Leroy Aarons's book Prayers for Bobby, which explores the true story of a gay young adult who committed suicide and how his death inspired his religious mother to become a crusader for gay and lesbian teens, into a made-for-TV movie. David Permut (Face/Off), Daniel Sladek (Tale of the Mummy), and Chris Taafe have signed on as executive producers for the project, tentatively titled Prayers, and out screenwriter Katie Ford (Miss Congeniality) will write the screenplay.
Actress Susan Sarandon had originally planned to be an executive producer and possibly a star of the film, which was attached at one point to NBC, but she and the producers parted ways.

Burgan Bank gets top brand ranking
Kuwait, February 10, 2013
Burgan Bank, the youngest commercial bank in Kuwait and the country's third largest by assets, received a major boost after Brand Finance, the international brand valuation company, re-affirmed its AA brand rating with a positive outlook.
Burgan said it has become the only bank in Kuwait that witnessed an increase in its total brand value, which came at $199 million compared to $175 million last year.
The brand ratings and values were recently published in "The Banker" magazine, a Financial Times publication, where Brand Finance has featured the world's most valuable 500 banking brands.
Bashir Jaber, the assistant general manager (Corporate Communications) said: "We are delighted with the recent ratings published by Brand Finance, and ranking at the top of the banking brand ratings in Kuwait. Burgan Bank is the only conventional bank in Kuwait and one of only 5 banks in Middle East that has achieved an absolute rise in its brand value."
"Our brand model has been an essential component of our corporate strategy, one which aims at 1) increasing market share with profitability in the core market 2) achieving scale, capabilities and footprint through strategic acquisitions," he added.
Jaber said Burgan enjoys an award winning strong branding platform that reflects its values of trust as well as partnership to deliver international best practices throughout its operations.
In 2012, Burgan Bank won the "Best Bank Branding" award by the Banker Middle East
"Going forward, Burgan's performance is on the right trajectory. We remain focused on further developing the bank's brand in Kuwait, and across the markets we operate in," he remarked.
"Recently, Burgan announced the expansion of its regional brand platform to Turkey following its recent acquisition of Eurobank Tekfen, where as of January 28, is operating under the name of Burgan Bank – Turkey," he added.-TradeArabia News Service

Potential Benefit Or Problematic Pain: Facial Recognition Programs Are Here Either Way
Change creates fear, and technology creates change. Sadly, most people don't behave very well when they are afraid. – Daniel H. Wilson
Mr. Wilson is correct in his above statement. Change does create fear, and I would say it is not because something is going to be made different, but because not all change is necessarily good. So our apprehensions arise from the unknown factor of exactly how things will change. Of course technology creates change, and always has. You barely have to think to realize the evolution of any object is ever changing and these advancements have only become faster in recent years.
A quick look into Moore's Law will interest most people in regards to this. A suspended look, however, into how Moore's Law can potentially affect our future is startling, many would even say bombastic. With theories stating humans can reach a state of "immortality" by the year 2040, that is of course if you can afford it. Or that by the year 2060 there is no telling, foreseeing, or imagining how things will be because the technology which would be used is so far advanced, it's unfathomable.
But regardless of exactly what the future holds, there is one technology that has currently concerned, upset, and excited many different types of people. From businessmen and scientists, to military personnel and teachers. This less than considered technology is facial recognition programing, and though it's not entirely a new concept, it has been refined over the years and implemented in some very interesting ways. Let's go over exactly a few of those ways and why it has made people both nervous and excited.
Facial Recognition as a Security Measure
For starters, facial recognition is used as a security measure for restricting access to either places or electronic devices. If you have a smart phone, many currently have a feature where the phone will unlock simply by pointing the camera at yourself. Or how about vehicles that know who the driver is and either unlock for them, or automatically start up. In our world, ownership means a lot, and if all of the devices and objects I own could recognize me such that they will only operate for me, what does that mean for thieves? I would assume it then becomes rather difficult to steal anything if what's being stolen couldn't be used by anyone but the owner.
Facial Recognition Marketing Advertisements
There are advertising signs out there that know what to show to people looking at the sign. For now this is mostly broken up into male and female advertisements, but the idea that a billboard can change its message depending on who is looking at it is powerful. Targeted exposure is useful, and considering it's a new and interesting means of marketing, people will probably get caught watching an advertisement when they would have otherwise simply breezed by it. You can check it out here.
Cameras Know When You're Smiling
Then there are cameras which won't take a photo until it sees the person smiling. This of course is not always practical, but it does help reduce the problem of people not being ready for a photo. Or how about the all too common eyes being closed as the shutter shuts? This is now avoidable as well, where the camera will not take the shot unless all mouths are smiling and eyes wide open. Now as far as cameras go, yeah it's a catchy and clever idea. But imagine how useful this would be to know things like, during this movie, 26 of the 50 viewers smiled during most of the jokes, while 5 of them fell asleep. Similar tests could be used for comedy shows and other forms of entertainment.
Japans Walking Vending Machines
You know the future is nigh when you are walking down the street only to be confronted by a walking, talking, Coca-Cola vending machine. A machine that makes its rounds around a city block, asking people whether they want a coke. But how does the machine know a person wants a coke? It certainly can't accost every person it sees, that sales pitch and marketing ploy could end up becoming a PR nightmare. But the machine knows you may want a Coca-Cola because you are staring at the machine as it walks. The machine notices people who look at it, and if they've looked for a while they will be offered a Cola. Now you may be stuck looking at it because you are amazed rather than really wanting a coke, and will be offered a cola as a result. But really, could you deny this salesman?
For A Business To Know Who Has Entered The Premise
This has become the current rave in trendy and upscale restaurants in Los Angela's. Cameras watch the front doors of the establishment, and when a celebrity walks in, a manager is notified exactly who is visiting, and depending on their importance, the manager will decide how to proceed forward. Generally this means hustling to greet them with a warm smile, and offering them the best seats in the house. It can also help to tell chefs and bartenders, if a person is known to want a specific thing, to begin preparations for it. For now it's used to focus on the rich and famous, but imagine if you were a loyal customer to some restaurant, and whenever you entered you were immediately asked, "Would you like your usual?" If it happened that I did indeed want my usual, I would be presently surprised to find that my order has been taken without me ever even having been seated.
Google Glasses
Finally, there are technological advances so great that we have to limit their ability out of sheer terror of what is possible. We've all probably heard of Google glasses, but one of the functions that most scared people was for the glasses to be able to recognize people on the street walking around. This would actually be rather cool, being able to know who every stranger was walking around you, so long as they were active on the internet and social media. It would certainly eliminate the hassle and embarrassment of forgetting people's names. But this begins to enter a realm with much darker implications. The idea of surveillance states, and the slogan "Big Brother is Watching You" seem to come to mind even though, it's not Big Brother in this instance, but all of Big Brothers Little Brothers that is actually doing the watching.
In the end, we have to be careful moving forward which has become evident after there was so much backlash when Google mentioned what the glasses were capable of. Many people would prefer to remain anonymous at all times until they have to let themselves be known. I suppose with that said, I don't want everyone to know me regardless of where I go. Isn't that the beauty of traveling, that you're in a new place with new people who do not know you, and neither do you know them? That would no longer be possible would it? You can find out a bunch about a person by doing a simple Google search, with Google glasses and facial recognition, you wouldn't have to search, it could simply just be given to you. An idea which is both interesting and scary.

I love your stance on google glasses. I completely agree that it takes the fun out of getting to know someone. Although, I believe getting to know someone over the internet is a sad idea either way!

"Bilbo, certainly by the second film, should be different. Not a different person, but be showing different things about him than when he was in Bag End at the start of the film. It's very clear who and what he is at the beginning of the first film. He's us, really. [By the second film] he's killed a few things and people and other species and been in near-death experiences a lot. He's very different in that way that people who come back from combat are different."
Martin Freeman on Bilbo

Chris Evans as Captain America and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow on the set of The Avengers.

I watching this last night. Good movie, stars out a little slow, I got the feeling there was another Avengers movie that I missed. Hard to explain, However about 20-30 minutes in things begin to come together a bit more. After they all get pissy in the meeting room due to Loki's staff getting to every one's heads things really hit the fan. Great action, nice little set up with Hawkeye and Natasha. The alien race backing up Loki's bid to subjugate the earth offer the Hulk Some good SMASH! There are even a couple good laugh scenes. Well worth the Money. Go see it, good for kids, no blood, no swearing, and a cool ending. What the Hulk does with Loki and Thor will make everyone laugh,

I agree saw it opening weekend and I'm still talking about it! My recommendation so that u don't get confused watch the marvel movies: Captain America, Iron man 1 and 2, Thor, Hulk (the one with Edward Norton-NOT Eric Bana, no offense to the guy) and you'll be set

Members and friends of the Second Brigade Motorcycle Club ( SBMC) met at the Lawrenceburg Walmart parking lot to head out on their mission this past Sunday. The club had raised over $1400.00 dollars on one of their poker runs to help their veteran brothers. The club's main focus and Mission statement is to help, support, encourage and love ALL Veterans and especially the VietNam Veterans. This year the SBMC chose the Thomson-Hood Veterans facility in Wilmore, Kentucky.
Working closely with the SBMC was Michelle Ewing, The Activities Director of the facility. Michelle works one on one with most all of the Veterans in the 285 bed facility and has her finger on the pulse of what they need and enjoy most. SBMC "Tester" his wife "Hotpants" and Prospect" Deacon" purchased fishing equipment, sensitive skin razors, shaving cream, and bird seed for the Vets to care for the birds in the aviary and on the grounds. The remaining funds were turned into Gift cards from Walmart so the Vets could buy whatever they wanted .
The facility at 3:00 Sunday afternoon saw a line of wheelchairs lined up inside to match and surpass the line of motorcycles that had lined up in the front parking lot. As the SBMC dismounted and went in the doors, you could see the excitement and joy on the faces of some of America's bravest war Heros, some of which that have no family at all. " I about broke down" said "Prospect Deacon" I asked if one of the residents had seen his family lately and he looked me right in the eye and said "YOU are My family brother!"
The SBMC each took a veteran out to the motorcycles and spent the next several hours just fellowshipping and "being a friend" to those men and women of Valor. They each had their favorite motorcycle and just like us, they all loved all of them! President of the local Chapter H of the SBMC "EL" pretty much hit the nail on the head when upon leaving he said" If that doesn't touch your heart, you just don't have a heart!" For any that wish to make a financial donation, Checks for any amount are greatly appreciated and can be made to :
100 Veterans Drive
Wilmore, kentucky 40390 Attn: Michelle Ewing

Last week I came across a recipe for Nutella Stuffed Brown Butter + Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies. Otherwise known as The Best Cookies in the World, according to the Ambitious Kitchen. Any time something is called The Best, I immediately go into evaluation mode (don't you??). Will I agree? I'd better taste for myself and see!
Ambitious they are. And worth the extra effort. Oh, yes.
What makes this stack of cookies so special? For starters, they are made with browned butter. Never tried that before. A slightly nutty flavor comes through, without the nuts. I've been told that Grassland butter has less water and is better for baking. It would be worth trying for this particular recipe as I found mine turned out slightly flat (not that I'm complaining!).
Just before they were done cooking, I pulled them out of the oven to add a sprinkling of crushed Maldon sea salt. An amazing addition to an already decadent treat.
Take a close look at the top cookie. You can see just a peek of the Nutella I added to the center of the cookie. The flavor is not overpowering, and it certainly doesn't reduce the calorie count, but I'm of the belief that sometimes a little naughty is nice. :)
Are they The Best Ever? I don't think I'll ever concede that title to one cookie. It's too fun trying new recipes in the quest of the winner! Hop on over to the Ambitious Kitchen for the recipe. You won't be disappointed!

Open-Source R600 OpenGL Support May Come Soon
Posted by
Michael Larabel
on 28 March 2009 11:19 AM EDT
In late December AMD had released
open-source R600/700 3D code
and a month later they released the
3D documentation
that covers these Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 series graphics cards. The initial code drop didn't do much good for end-users as they couldn't do much more than
render a couple triangles
, but over the past few months the open-source developers have been working on the proper Mesa support for the R600/700 graphics cards in a private code repository. Now this code may finally be pushed out to the general public in the near future.
As AMD is still working on code review and obtaining permission to push out different pieces of code, much of the OpenGL work has been going on behind the scenes in a private code repository rather than in the open and needing to get permission before each commit. AMD's John Bridgman shared this morning on the
RadeonHD IRC channel
that the OpenGL work is not finished yet but "a bunch of things work" and he hopes to be able to get the R600/700 Mesa code pushed into the public tree over the next week or so.
When it comes to this initial open-source R600/700 3D support, we have heard that textures and mipmaps are working to some extent right now along with the shader compiler. Hopefully this code will indeed be pushed out to the public over the next week or two, and at that time we will be back with more information.
For reference, it was one year and one week ago that
the first R500 3D milestone
was reached of having hardware-accelerated glxgears.

Taliban name interim chief as Pakistan mulls US response

Lindsey Vonn has gone from the boring (taking Tiger Woods' kids to school) to the SUPER FUN ... jet skiing with Tiger and his little ones in Palm Beach yesterday.
The new couple decided to take advantage of the long weekend by hitting the water with the kids near Tiger's Florida home.
Seriously this time ... that sound you just heard was Elin Nordegren's head exploding.
Relax TMZ...divorced people are allowed to do what they want when they have the kids. Their mother is most likely on Holiday in her homeland, and trusts their father w/the kids.
Is it safe to have kids on a jet ski like that? I don't know. Looks like a lot of fun and would love to do this one day with my kids. I will check the laws here in my state. Happy for Tiger and Lindsay with kids. I just hope he does not cheat on her.
I highly doubt his ex is jealous in any way. She probably laughs to herself at any female who ends up falling for him. He likes to have himself some side-pieces and that's why she's already over him. If anything she may have some anxiety about her kids jet skiing - especially since of her children's safety is directly in the hands of some random woman... but aside from that - I think all is fine on the Elin front.
Ewwww, cant figure out what she sees in him. Probably $. Guess she thinks he wont cheat on her too. Fool!!!
Tiger's X stated that the children could not be around any woman unless he was in a honest relationship and she had to approve it.

Even though we're in New York City, where rich (usually foreign) people drive impossibly badass cars, there are some supercars that we never expect to see. Like the Lykan (because it costs $3.4 million), or the Mazzanti Evantra (because only five are made each year), or really, even just the Koenigsegg Agera, which despite being a production supercar... who are we kidding? It's never turning up down in Soho.
But then, there are the supercars that no one will ever see. These are the concepts, commissioned by marques to pique interest on the show circuit, or created by unofficial internet citizen fanboys.
Though concepts almost never make it to the street in their initial forms, that's what we love about them -- they represent raw, unadulterated creativity. Especially in the past couple of years, the supercar concept game has really stepped up, and that's certainly cause to celebrate.
Check out the gallery below, and let us know which ones we should add to our list!

ANN ARBOR--The oldest old are doing better and those approaching late life are doing worse, but Americans between the ages of 65 and 84 are experiencing about the same level of disabilities as they did at the start of the 21st century.

Disability trends: Oldest old improving, boomers doing worse
Those are the key findings a new study of trends in late-life activity limitations that harmonizes the findings of five independent national surveys of more than 40,000 Americans.
The study, funded by the National Institute on Aging, was published online this week by the peer-reviewed journal Demography. Conducted by a team of researchers from several U.S. universities and think tanks, the study is the most comprehensive analysis to date of how well older Americans are able to carry out daily living tasks independently.
"A new pattern has emerged by age," said University of Michigan demographer Vicki Freedman, lead author of the study. "We found essentially flat trends for those between 65 and 84 years of age, sandwiched between increases among the population ages 55 to 64 and decreases among those ages 85 and older."
" This trend will be important to watch down the road because of the impact it may have on America's families and on public health care programs. "
--Vicki Freeman
The new findings are noteworthy since they differ from earlier trends. From about the mid-1980s through 1999, the level of disabilities decreased steadily for the older population as a whole, according to Freedman, but over the last decade that trend has flattened.
"We were surprised to find that baby boomers aren't doing better," she said. "Their level of disability is still low compared to older Americans, but it was a full percentage point higher--five instead of four percent--compared to people of that same age 10 years ago.
"That may not seem like much of an increase, but, in fact, it represents about 365,000 more people who are having difficulty or who are unable to carry out basic personal care activities and activities central to living independently. This trend will be important to watch down the road because of the impact it may have on America's families and on public health care programs."
Among the activities assessed in the analysis were everyday tasks such as shopping, preparing meals, managing money, making phone calls, bathing, dressing and walking.
While the study did not assess the reasons for these increases, Freedman notes that others have found that rising rates of obesity and attendant health risks among the young old could account for some of the increase.
The reasons behind the continuing decrease in disabilities among Americans 85 and older also remain unclear, she says.
"Previously, we have found improvements in a wide variety of health conditions, including heart condition, musculoskeletal conditions and vision impairments," Freedman said. "The latter was linked to increases in cataract surgery. More widespread use of assistive technology and environmental changes that allow people to function independently much longer may also be at work."
Freedman and colleagues are continuing to monitor these trends, through the Disability Trends Network at the Michigan Center for the Demography of Aging, part of the U-M Institute for Social Research. Funding for the research was provided by a grant from the National Institute on Aging (P30-AG012846).
Established in 1949, the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research is the world's largest academic social science survey and research organization, and a world leader in developing and applying social science methodology, and in educating researchers and students from around the world. ISR conducts some of the most widely cited studies in the nation, including the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers, the American National Election Studies, the Monitoring the Future Study, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, the Health and Retirement Study, the Columbia County Longitudinal Study and the National Survey of Black Americans. ISR researchers also collaborate with social scientists in more than 60 nations on the World Values Surveys and other projects, and the institute has established formal ties with universities in Poland, China and South Africa. ISR is also home to the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research, the world's largest digital social science data archive. , visit the ISR website at www.isr.umich.edu.

SMPTE and Hollywood Post Alliance Present Sold-Out Women in Technology Event
Wendy Aylsworth, Jacki Morie, and Poppy Crum Hold Lively Conversation Focused on Success in an Industry Still Lacking Women
October 24, 2013 --
The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and the Hollywood Post Alliance(R) (HPA) Women in Post presented "Wendy Aylsworth in Conversation with Friends" to a full house on Monday in conjunction with the SMPTE 2013 Annual Technical Conference & Exhibition in Hollywood. The event, which sold out well in advance, attracted a diverse group of women who are engaged in a variety of roles in the media and technology industry. SMPTE is the worldwide leader in motion-imaging standards and education for the communications, media, entertainment, and technology industries. The Women in Post group of the HPA -- the trade association for the postproduction community -- attracts professional women who fill many technical, creative, and leadership roles in postproduction. SMPTE and HPA worked together to develop the event as a way to reach these women, who have crucial responsibilities and face many challenges.

+ - Scribd launches a global "Spotify for ebooks"->
Nate the greatest
Nate the greatest writes "Scribd threw their hat in the ebook subscription ring today. This site is expanding on its existing ebookstore with a new $9 a month all-you-can-read ebook subscription service which offers a selection of ebooks from a number of publishers, including HarperCollins, E-Reads, Kensington, Red Wheel/Weiser, Rosetta Books, Sourcebooks, and Workman. That's a better selection of commercial ebooks than the Kindle owner's lending library, but not quite as broad of a selection as the recently launched Oyster, but Scribd is charging less and they're offering better platform support. While Oyster is only available on the iPhone, Scribd has apps for for Android, iPhone, iPad, and you can read the ebooks in your web browser."

Georgia Anne Smith 1932 - 2012 Lawrence
Georgia Anne Smith, 79, of Lawrence, and formerly of Hutchinson, died peacefully while surrounded by family on Tuesday, May 1, 2012 at Pioneer Ridge Retirement Community in Lawrence. She was born September 17, 1932 in Hutchinson, the youngest daughter of Harold and Hazel House. She was a 1949 graduate of Partridge High School.
Georgia married the love of her life, Richard Smith, on May 7, 1950 in Johnson City, Kansas. After living in Johnson for several years, Georgia and Dick eventually moved to Hutchinson where they were actively involved in the community, raised their family and made their home for many years. She was a long time employee of First National Bank in Hutchinson, working first as a teller and then retiring as Vice President of Funds Management. Georgia was a member of Trinity United Methodist Church and Silver Leaf Chapter #46 OES, both in Hutchinson. In 2000 they moved to Lawrence to be close to family, which was always a priority in Georgia's life.
She was preceded in death by her parents and four sisters, Virginia Rapp Honomichle, Mildred Johns, Helen Varney and Gwendolyn Cockrum and several nieces and nephews.
Georgia was deeply loved and will be missed by all who knew her. She is survived by her husband of nearly 62 years, Richard, of Lawrence; her children, Steve Smith and Marsha (Dr. David) Jones, two grandchildren, Kristen (Jarrod) Gill and Greg Jones and two great grandchildren, Treven and Kendel Gill, all of Lawrence, and several nieces and nephews. She was the tie that bound her family together and she always honored the strength of family and friends.
Funeral service will be 10:00 a.m. Friday, May 11, 2012, at Elliott Mortuary Chapel with Reverend Jim Rhaesa officiating. Order of Eastern Star service conducted by O.E.S. Chapter #464. Interment will be in Memorial Park Cemetery. Family will greet friends from 6:30-7:30 Thursday, May 10, 2012, at Elliott Mortuary. Memorials may be made to Eastern Star or donor's choice, in care of the mortuary. Please visit www.elliottmortuary.com to leave a condolence for Georgia's family.

On Wednesday, October 2, 2013 at 11 a.m. EST, Spotlite Radio has the pleasure of interviewing independent beauty consultant, Paula Diehl. Paula sells cosmetics, skin care products for women and men and so much more. Providing skin and color consultations, Paula is dedicated to helping all of her clients to look and feel their very best! With a consultation first, Paula does make up for the bridal party and of course, the lucky lady herself, the bride.
Paula will discuss with her listeners how it is around $100 to get started as an independent beauty consultant and for the training. It is a fabulous opportunity to get started with and every person can build their way to the top because there is so much room to grow. Being more than happy to help service people, Paula has flexible hours and can accommodate all of her clients to make them just as happy as the Mary Kay Cosmetic Company has made her.
Again, please tune into Spotlite Radio on Wednesday, October 2, 2013 at 11 a.m. EST for an interview with independent beauty consultant at Mary Kay Cosmetics, Paula Diehl. For more information on Paula and how to be an independent consultant, please visit her website at http://www.marykay.com/
