And now, here in spring 2012, "the Lightships thing" has resulted in Electric Cables, a mellow but multi-layered 10-song album, which Love recorded in Glasgow over the past few years with friends, including members of his 20-year-old band, Teenage Fanclub, and Bob Kildea of Belle and Sebastian. These collaborations coupled with Love's easy commute to record in the neighborhood at his own pace culminated in a welcoming, laid-back, and cohesive album that is the embodiment of springtime. "Photosynthesis" exemplifies this, with lyrics such as "Waited so long/Drifting off in a dream" seamlessly floating over low-key but intricate instrumentals that seem to bloom as the song progresses. The spring theme pops up again on "Every Blossom". Love's vocals resemble Elliott Smith's as he sings, "Every tree, every blossom springs to life," which is precisely what this album does, song by song.
The standout track, "Silver and Gold", showcases Love's versatility with a delicate opening that features intimate, high-pitched vocals followed by a slow instrumental build. One of Electric Cables' greatest moments comes about halfway through this song (which coincidentally, comes halfway through this album) as a catchy chorus picks up only to slow back down again, creating a teasing roller coaster of a song that makes you want to start it over each time it ends. Closer "Sunlight to the Dawn" has the same effect on the album as a whole, as the mostly instrumental track reveals the best guitar the record has to offer.
Essential Tracks: "Silver and Gold", "Photosynthesis", and "The Warmth of the Sun"

WELL, YEAH , I felt bad when Harry Britt didn't quite get enough
votes to beat Mark Leno in the Democratic primary for the 13th District
assembly seat. Britt would have been great up in Sacramento, the sort
who would put San Francisco back on the state map as the hotbed of progressive
(even radical) new ideas.
And we can all go on for hours (as I'm sure we will) arguing about
why and how he lost. He could have attacked Leno a lot earlier in the
race (by the end, the flood of mail was so overwhelming that nobody
was paying attention). He could have broadened his message. His campaign
could have done better with absentee voters. If the Britt forces had
only managed to get another 2 or 3 percent of the voters out in what
was an abysmally low-turnout election, it would have put him over the
But the truth is, he came pretty close, very close and that
was quite an accomplishment for someone who had been out of politics
for 10 years, running against an incumbent supervisor.
In politics, close sometimes does count. It sends a message:
The voters are not satisfied. The reform movement is still very much

Last week's story on how the SF Weekly, owned by New Times Corp.
of Phoenix, is using what appears to be predatory pricing to try to
undermine the Bay Guardian ("The Predatory Chain")
clearly hit a nerve at New Times: John Mecklin, editor of the SF
Weekly, posted a piece on its Web site (www.sfweekly.com) last week
responding, at some length.
You can read it yourself, if you can wade through all the bile and
vitriol. But his basic point goes like this: the Bay Guardian sucks
because we do endorsements, and push issues, and engage in political
crusades, and try to influence local politics.
We plead guilty, John. We care about this city, this community. We're
part of it, and we want to make it a better place. We've been working
at it for 35 years, and it's made us one of the most successful, respected
alternative newspapers in the country. I'm sorry you and the folks in
Phoenix, who run a national chain that wants to destroy independent
competition, are too cynical to do what great community newspapers have
always done stand up for something worthwhile. Tim Redmond email@example.com

Boutique salon, Fusion is on the move in Waitakere |
Boutique salon, Fusion is on the move in Waitakere
18th October 2013
Fusion is a boutique salon based in Waitakere that has a warm and friendly atmosphere teamed with top quality service. The team, headed by Tracey Baird and Becky Cole work together to provide seamless customer service and personalised results that has its customers raving. Sarah, a recent client stated "I've yet to find a place that quite compares and lives up to the standards of Fusion - if possible, absolute perfection in a hair salon. I would recommend this place to anyone"!
Tracey Baird, Fusion Director, has a 20 year career history which has involved running successful salons in London and owning ever expanding salons in New Zealand. She says, "Hairdressing is not only a job, it's my business, and a great creative outlet; it has been my life and passion for two decades". You can tell she means business when you see the loyalty and referral programmes, last year a client won a trip to Australia, this year it's a trip for two to Rarotonga! She adds," In 2006 I completed a fine arts degree, majoring in photography. This has allowed me to take my hairdressing to the next level, to not be afraid of pushing boundaries." Whilst at Whitecliffe, college of arts & design, Tracey met Becky Cole, Fusion Co-ordinator / Intermediate Stylist and after Becky joined Tracey at her Massey base, the pair were so successful a move of premises was in order to expand the business.
On Friday 1st November Fusion will be holding an open evening at their new outlet, 104 Glengarry Road, Glen Eden from 6-8pm. Beverley Cole of Style Essence (the original founder, director and owner of Fashion Academy Ltd) will be attending as the guest speaker. Drinks and nibbles will be provided and you are welcome to view an exhibition of photography and illustrations by the girls. There will also be facilities to drop off any unwanted professional clothing which will be donated to the local charity, Dress For Success.
"…this is a great little hair salon. The customer service is outstanding, I think a lot of the "name" salons could take a few pointers from Fusion. I won't be going anywhere else from now on". Karena
The salon also provides a mobile team for weddings, corporate events and Prom nights. They have an extensive team of make-up and photography freelancers who have worked on international fashion shows and major magazine covers

Posted: 04/11/2012
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The odds of getting into a fatal crash increase by six percent on tax filing day, according to a study published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"Tax days are associated with an increase in fatal crash risk, which is similar in magnitude to the increase in crashes on Super Bowl Sunday," wrote study authors Dr. Donald Redelmeier and Christopher Yarnell of the University of Toronto.
The study focused on the 6,783 people who died in car crashes in the U.S. over the last 30 years on April 15, compared to the week preceding tax day and the week that comes after. The results found a nationwide average increase of 13 fatalities on tax day, which is a 6% increase. This year, taxes are due on April 17.
"One explanation is that stressful deadlines lead to driver distraction and worsen short-term human error," Dr. Redelmeier told CNNMoney.
He said that sleep deprivation, greater use of alcohol, lower tolerance for other drivers, and the "unwanted distraction" of filing taxes could all contribute to a jump in accidents.
Redelmeier added that the heightened risk does not just apply to late filers, emphasizing that everyone is at risk throughout the day.
"Even if you file early, it does not mean that you are immune to the phenomenon, because of the shared nature of most roadway crashes," said Dr. Redelmeier. "You are surrounded by other drivers, any one of whom could change your life forever."
Surprisingly, the emergence of electronic filing in recent years has not curbed the number of fatal crashes, he said, possibly because it gives taxpayers the impression that they can wait until the last minute.

Another service sector, low wage paying and no benefits offering job.
Not sure what their wage and benefit package will look like, but would ask if you prefer an empty building? People complain about no jobs and when jobs come to town they complain that they don't pay enough. If someone wants a higher paying position with better benefits they should go get an education that is more marketable.

California Pizza Kitchen Restaurant Review: CPK offers a broad range of dishes with international flavors. Offerings for lighter appetites called 'small cravings' include Tuscan panzanella salad and a spicy chicken tinga quesadilla with house-made ranchito sauce. Barbecued chicken is the most popular of the pizzas, but we would go for the BLT pizza, the Jamaican jerk chicken pizza or white pizza with apple wood-smoked bacon and sautéed spinach. Options geared towards contemporary health concerns include making pizza dough with honey whole-grain crust, and multigrain penne is available for many of the pastas. Salads are generous, so keep in mind that half-orders are available. Soups, appetizers, sandwiches made with good hearth-baked focaccia and filling desserts round out the menu. Chocolate soufflé cake with fudge sauce is a favorite. In addition to wine and beer, there are martinis, mojitos, margaritas and a list of specialty cocktails. |

1 Ruinedawesomecity | 17/08/2013 | See all awesomecity's reviews (987)Top 100 Mobile Reviewer The true story of Richard kuklinski is a brutal, violent, tense, fascinating tale. The story of a skilled psychopathic killer and his struggle with family life and work issues. This film captures none of that. It is so inaccurate that it shouldn't be allowed to have this title. The facts are distorted, the truth is ignored and the major points of the Icemans life are completely missed out. Disgraceful.
4 As cool as IceNightjar | 19/08/2013 | See all Nightjar's reviews (46)Top 100 Games Reviewer Not sure why the other reviewer disliked this so much.Forget truth or facts and enjoy the film for what it is and that is a well acted, easy to follow story of a contract killer.Michael Shannon was perfectly cast for the role and does not disappoint.This definitely has reply value in my honest opinion and well worth the price tag.


text: MS Medications: Autoinjectors Available at VA Veterans Health Administration At the request of VA Multiple Sclerosis providers and in coordination with VA Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy (CMOP) and the manufacturers, Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) has developed a process to provide autoinjector devices. There are four autoinjector devices that work with prefilled syringes of specific MS drugs. They are free of charge and are not available through normal distribution channels. The pharmaceutical representatives have been asked not to provide autoinjectors during their promotional visits. The demo autoinjectors are allowed and can be used for training Veterans in clinic before they receive their device in the mail. One autoinjector is for one-time use and the others are reusable (see descriptions below). They are in the National Drug File (NDF) so after they are set up locally, providers can order these as a prescription (along with the specific prefilled syringe) and have it mailed to the patient by CMOP. CMOP will order initial stock and have the ability to order more based on utilization. Facility pharmacies must provide CMOP with their expected utilization to ensure sufficient stock is available. Some of these manufacturers may take several weeks to deliver once an order is placed by CMOP. Below are the four different autoinjector devices that are part of this process. NDF Name: AUTOINJECTOR, AVOSTARTGRIP TITRATION KIT Please Note: NDF Name: AUTOINJECTOR, AUTOJECT-2 NDF Name: AUTOINJECTOR, BETAJECT LITE NDF Name: AUTOINJECTOR, REBIJECT II For more information please contact your local VA medical center pharmacy department.

Good hotel near Campo Santa Margherita, a double room with WC and breakfast costs 80 euro in low season and 95 in high season.
Unique Quality: Venice is very expensive and this is a good price for an accomodation.
Directions: Very close to Noir Bar and Blue Bar.
Pre-stay communication was excellent. Their map on their website for locating them after arrival at the St. Lucia train station was very good. Quick check-in, the room was a little better than expected. As we faced the front, noise echoed off the street and was a little louder than we'd have liked late in the evening but I'd read was an issue for some other people her on VT, and we could have asked for a room toward the back...but...our room was large and airy, and received a good bit of sun. Very clean with a good-sized private bath. We checked out on the evening prior to our departure as we had to catch the bus early for a 7am flight; they said the key to the hotel would be in the lock, just let ourselves out. Breakfast (coffee and rolls) was served promptly at 8am on our floor. As we used this as a "base" and sleeping place while in Venice, we spent little time there but it was very nice.
Unique Quality: Clean, simple, efficient accommodations, conveniently located. Why pay the same price in Mestra when you can stay in Venezia?
Directions: Close to the train station and the bus depot

Date: Mon, 04 May 1998 18:11:18 -0400 From: Darryl Ballantyne <email@example.com> X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.03 [en] (Win95; I) To: firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: JamFest '98
My name is Darryl Ballantyne, and I represent the 5th Markham Venturers. This year, we are holding our fifth annual JamFest, the largest Venturer/Rover/Pathfinder/Ranger/Explorer camp in all of Canada, with an expected attendance of 1,400 people this year. The camp is held at the Greenwood Conservation Area in Pickering (near Toronto), Ontario, the weekend of May 22-24. We are hoping to attract more participants this year from out of province/out of country, and, after some (somewhat) intensive searching on the Internet, we found you. Here are some details about the camp :
JamFest, being a camp of huge proportions, is not just like any other camp. "What is there to do?", you ask? Well, we start off on Friday with "THE BIG FRIDAY SHOW". This outpouring of talent and entertainment is like nothing you've ever seen before (and may not want to see again!). Next is our campfire, which has achieved critical acclaim from all attendants, not only for the spectacular lighting (an all-new way every year), but also for being the largest ever seen (last year was about 40 feet high!). Saturday's events include our regular favorites: Car Bashing, The Chocolate Pudding Slide, The Impossible Car Rally, The "Dead Cat" Scavenger Hunt, Iron(wo)man Competition, The Huge Water Fight, and the all-new "B.P. Challenge" (sure to test your skills, determination, and teamwork), not to mention others that we haven't mentioned here. Also on hand are the Tandy Leather Shop, "The Knot Guy", and more. Saturday night is all about DANCING!! With lights, lasers, special effects, and LOTS of sound, it is definitely a night to remember (Transportation is provided). If, after all that, you're still not tired (Hey, can't say we'd blame ya), our M.A.S.H. tents are open all night to accomodate any and all insomniacs. Sunday brings closing ceremonies, awards, and yes, tearful farewells.
Plus, there's more than just all that, such as our couch giveaways (over 75 given out last year), and even more and more and more (we don't want to spoil all the surprises before you come).
Lastly, since this is a Scouting event, we do believe in CLEAN fun (well, except for the pudding slide...), and all the regular Scouting rules apply.
The cost, you ask? $18 per person/leader. CANADIAN. (So that's what, $4 U.S.?). DEFINITELY a worthwhile investment.
Being the Commodore and Vice-Commodore (respectively), we are hoping that you could distribute this information to all groups in the Northeast Region. (Hey, we've had groups come from alot further away). At any rate, please distribute this to the appropriate people as much as possible. I will be E-Mailing whoever I can find, but only so many people are available on the Internet. If you have any questions, concerns, problems, statements, ideas, requests, or idiosyncracies, (or would like a map faxed to you), please
Feel free to contact me (Darryl Ballantyne, the registrar), at 905-294-8919, or email@example.com.
Thank you,
Darryl Ballantyne 5th Markham Venturers

Sino ba ang dapat mag-retire? I very disappointed on the Philippine Olympic Committee for such statement. Kung tutuusin, ikinalulungkot na ng marami na walang pabuyang makukuha ang mga manlalaro mula sa pamahalaan (na kung tutuusin ay mula naman sa taumbayan), walang heroes' welcome sa kanilang pag-uwi, at ngayon ito pa ang sasabihin ninyo?
Ipagpalagay na natin na may mga overaged na sa kanila pero sa ipinakita nilang husay, they do not deserve such downplaying statement. Dapat nga magpasalamat pa tayo sa kanila sa kanilang pagsasakripisyo at determinasyon upang makamit ang tagumpay.
Just foul, POC. Just foul.
(Tweet from Julius Babao, ABS-CBN News Anchor)
Showbiz na rin pala talaga ang sports dito. Eh ano naman ngayon kung matatanda na sila, kelangan ba maging mukhang superstars tulad ng Azkals para bigyan ng suporta? :| Hindi ba enough na magagaling sila? How disappointing.

After a year with dealing with a "Maui cruiser" I finally was able to land a more solid ride. Isuzu Rodeo 4x4 for just the right price, and I can now branch out to all sides of the island.
Found her through Craigslist, but not in the normal fashion. I actually posted a want ad in the for sale section, asking to buy your SUV. Found a local seller (just down the street) that didn't drive it that much as it was tough to get her 97 year old mother into the high seat.
Needless to say, this 14yr old rig has 80k miles on her. That's about 5700 miles per year and couldn't be more stoked.
Leather seats, sunroof, cruise control, 4x4, etc..

The scenes are from Ravnastua, Skoganvarre and Lakselv. The first two days I had a lot of trouble with frozen Cameras. It was -25°C (-13°F) and after 1-2 hours of shooting the lens was frozen."

Contemporary Mandalas: Mirrors of Peace
April 3, 2010 by Lilly
Filed under Arts, Spirituality
The origins of the mandalas can be found in Jainism, Tantrism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Lamaism. The word "Mandala" comes from Sanskrit, the sacred language of the Indian Brahmans. "Mandala" means "Circle" or more precisely, "Sacred Circle" or "Magic". In Tibetan it is Kyl-Khor – Kyl means "Center" and Khor means "Circle".
The Mandalas represent the ideal world. It is a geometric form with a center -the concentration ; and a periphery -the organization. Each traditional Mandala, of oriental origin has a Mantra – sacred Hindu or Buddhist formula as its content. The Mantra is the soul of the Mandala. A Mandala is defined according to three principles of organization : the central point, a radiation from this point and the circular outer border.
The central point symbolizes the mysterious energy center, the birth place of all existence in space and time. It also symbolizes unity, totality and perfection. It is without dimension or place : the circle and the sphere are born of it. These are manifested forms from a central point. The central point appears as the beginning and end of all possible paths. The law of the center is one of silence and the law of the world, that of the periphery, is one of movement.
The radiation from the central point grows in a centrifugal fashion until it reaches the outer border where it is reflected back towards its center in a perpetual mixture of centrifugal and centripetal movements. The central point is the point of departure as well as the point of arrival for all movement signifying unity in diversity or diversity in unity.
The circle, the real border with the exterior, is the protector of the sacred contents, especially the center. It is also the symbol of infinity and the absolute. It is for this reason that the Mandala has been considered throughout time and various civilizations to be a divine symbol. The Mandalas present a model of the macro and microcosm : the center and the rotation, unity and diversity (clusters within the galaxies, solar system, body cells, molecules and atoms). It is a visualization of the universe.
The center of a Mandala represents the center of the universe. It is the heart of the universe made up of wisdom, of energy emerging from emptiness, of silence. In this silence, lives unity, the divine, the invisible, the metaphysical.
The periphery represents the creation of the world. It also represents the diversity of organization of the universe, born of its center.
If we think of the macrocosm, we discover solar systems. In the center we find the star, the sun and, orbiting around it, the planets, their satellites and their moons organized around them. If we take the galaxies : they have their centers there, where the stars are the most dense and where the light is brightest. Their peripheries are the immense arms of the galaxies or spirals which, in their turn, have their own rotation around their own centers. If we look even more deeply into the universe, we discover the clusters of the galaxies, which, in their turn, move around a center. The big bang itself reminds us of the schema of the Mandalas.
If we consider the microcosm, we discover the world of crystals, of cells and atoms which demonstrate the same schema as a Mandala. The nuclei are the centers and the structured peripheries are their circles. Each atom represents a mandala and even the nucleus of an atom is made up of quarks which have their own organization around a center, reminding one of a Mandala. "In the macrocosm as in the microcosm", "above as below" says a very old spiritual law from the hermetic philosophy of the ancient Egyptians.
Thus the Mandala is a "Cosmogram" which represents the essential schema of the entire universe. The design of a Mandala acts on the psyche : its center unifies and its periphery stabilizes. For a human being it is a "Psychocosmogram". It attracts the eye to this center -towards unity, towards the divine ; it pulls us towards our own center. The human brain is able to memorize symmetrical forms very rapidly and to transmit them equally rapidly to the psyche.
The psyche is made up of emotions and mental processes. The Mandala acts on the psyche in so far as it reunites and unifies through its principle of immobility, the center ; and it harmonizes through its symmetrical parts, in the periphery.
According to Dr Carl Gustav JUNG, the Mandala is an "archetype". JUNG, psychiatrist and student of FREUD associated the Mandala with the mirror of the Self.
He used the Mandala as a tool to better understand the psyche of his patients by having them color and design Mandalas. The psyche is symbolized in the drawing.
There is obviously a connection between the symmetrical design of the Mandala and the human psyche. The symmetrical design is a reproduction of our psyche in miniature, on paper. This can vary according to the day and the mood of the person. The Mandala contains and structures the archetypal energies of the unconscious in a way that the conscious mind can assimilate.
In drawing a Mandala, we create our own sacred space, a safe place, a center where we can concentrate our energies. According to JUNG, when the Self manages to express itself through the drawing, the unconscious responds by imposing a reverential attitude towards life. When we look at a Mandala, it centers us, it harmonizes us and gives us an internal peace and silence. It stabilizes us and stimulates new ideas within us which are capable of leading us to constructive goals. For all these reasons the Mandala has been used since the beginning of time as a visual tool for Meditation.
When one meditates in front of a Mandala, one has in front of him the representation of the world and his own being ; the idea is to bring together one's own center and that of the universe. Meditation on a Mandala gives silence, peace and harmony and brings inner stability. It allows us to look into our own world ; it guides us to the source of light within us. Meditation is the path to self knowledge – it guides us to our true identity – our divine self – that self which shines in the depths of our souls.
One meditates on a Mandala by visualizing its three dimensions – like a temple. This is why the sacred circle is often placed within a square. The square symbolizes the walls of a temple with four openings or doors which indicate, at the same time, the four cardinal points and the four heavenly directions. In India, in Tibet and throughout Asia, the major temples as well as the pagodas have been built according to the architectural principles of the Mandala.
Sacred texts lay down that each temple must be a representation of the universe. Even in the Occident, our architects have used the Mandala as a model of the creation of the world ; transcendence in the center and diverse creation in the circle. Among many possible examples, let us just consider the wonder of the rose windows and labyrinth gardens of the cathedrals.
Just as the Mandala is found in the architecture of India, Tibet and throughout Asia, so too its trace can be found in various art forms such as mosaics, engravings, sculptures, pottery, weaving, astrology, calendars, paintings on fabric, canvas, paper and also in sand paintings.
Mandalas are universal and omnipresent. Imagine just for a moment a Tibetan Mandala, think of the wealth of color and remarkable beauty, the complexity of symbolic forms.
According to the Tibetan monks, the art of the Mandala is a very powerful art, different from ordinary paintings. Making a Mandala requires many qualities : a memorization of the sacred texts, the ability to trace very precise measurements and finally the ability to draw and paint.
When a Mandala is being made it is accompanied by prayers for peace ; when it is dismantled, according to Tibetan monk tradition, it is also accompanied by prayers for peace during a special ceremony.
Buddhist Mandalas often depict numerous characters of divine nature, the main divinity being located at the center of the Mandala.
In the plant world, we often find links to the Mandala, whether it be in the form of the blossom or in the wonder of a flower, a section of a branch of a tree, of a root, of a trunk or even of a piece of fruit – all these demonstrate the structure of a Mandala.
In the animal world, these links also exist : in a bird's nest or in a spider's web. In fact, it is possible to link many forms of expression to the Mandala : the ripples on the surface of water, tornadoes, whirlpools, the iris of the eye, the chakras, crystals, horoscopes, kaleidoscopes, all sorts of wheels, discs, the preparation of food, in the sciences, associated diagrams … the list is endless!

In This Moment
Spray of Ocean and gentleness of breeze
Caressed my Heart as they whispered this Calling
And upon the wings of my deepest Desire
I soared to the edge of unfamiliar terrain
Now nothing that was, to remain the same
I rejoice in the Gifts of You and the Universe
For all that has been and for all that will be
For Miracles and for Joy, for Peace and for Love
For newly found realizations
For Decisions without hesitations
Now I'm standing on my feet
Trying to focus these thoughts for the future
And I'm waving to the sun
Like a first breath, just begun
There are seeds to plant and fields to grow
There are songs to write to fill this night
There is truth to seek that touches few
Though what touched me most was touching You
See me here, this moment, Present
And know how closely I hold You dear
In Sincerity and Wisdom to share this Life
With Faith and Hope to keep Hearts near

When Ben (Nat Faxon) and Kate's (Dakota Johnson) father Randy (guest star Bruce McGill) pays an unexpected visit to them, he causes chaos in their lives – Kate starts asking big questions about herself and her life trajectory, putting her in a big fight with BJ (Lucy Punch). Meanwhile, Ben finds himself confronting his dad about all the things they never did together, as they search together with Tommy (Echo Kellum) to finally find and confront Maddie's (Maggie Elizabeth Jones) dad for running out on Kate.
Now that Kate and BJ have started college and share a class together, Kate tries to tune out BJ's suggestions that she let loose and have fun, since she missed out the first time around. But this time, she's determined to stay focused on her studies, a decision that gets tested when she starts dating one of her professors (guest star Annable). Meanwhile, BJ and Ben end up in a compromising situation and the ensuing complications up-end BJ's relationship with Buddy (guest star Corddry) and Ben's relationship with Vera (guest star Melinda McGraw).

Alert to Great Pumpkin fans: You'll need to be almost as patient as Linus for this year's annual showing of It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, which ABC is saving for Halloween night itself, at 8/7c, kicking off Wednesday's great lineup of comedy (though considerably less great without The Middle in the equation). But unlike Linus, you will get your payoff, one considerably more satisfying than the rock Charlie Brown always ends up with after trick or treating.
Are there any timeless classics among Tuesday's Halloween sitcom treats? Perhaps not, but here are a few good reasons to watch (if storm coverage subsides):
Trick or treat? That's what Kate (Dakota Johnson) will find out on Tuesday's Halloween episode of Ben and Kate (airing at 8:30/7:30c on Fox), when she decides to abandon her typically conservative attitude towards the holiday — i.e. dressing her daughter Maddie (Maggie Elizabeth Jones) up as young historical figures — at the encouragement of her flirtatious friend BJ (Lucy Punch). Responsible mom Kate even gets into the Halloween spirit herself, accepting an invitation from her cute neighbor to attend a costume party at his house — and not being shy about showing her interest in him when she arrives.
Dana Fox was working on New Girl last year when she came up with the idea of developing a show loosely based on her brother, Ben (he's currently an ad exec but years ago was a bit of a free spirit). The siblings' real-life relationship forms the basis of Fox's Ben and Kate, (Tuesdays, 8:30/7:30c).

Schawk Inc., a five-decades-old company with deep roots in the pre-press and graphics world, found that its service offerings had far outgrown the industry's perception of the company – even its employees' own perceptions.
Schawk needed to re-position itself in the marketplace and gain access to C-Level executives to deliver a concise and compelling story. It needed to convince its own employees that a new kind of collaboration was both possible and necessary, to ensure that Schawk would excel in a marketplace that now has less need for "service bureau" expertise and more need for integrated strategy, creative, design and execution services.
Symmetri and Schawk launched a new positioning—Brand Point Management-- through webcasts in regions around the world supported by a brand culture book, posters and a brand video. Communications demonstrated how Schawk accomplishes brand point management, showed proof-of-success and positioned Schawk as a leader in the category. Launch communications included an overview brochure and presentation, white papers and position papers, podcasts, web content, a flash animation, targeted direct mail and case studies.

How to Contour and Highlight Face
Every wanted to make your face look slimmer but didn't want plastic surgery? Well it's easier then you thought!
Create a slender nose, sleeker jawline, and all-over slimmer face. With these simple tricks.
First thing, you want to find a foundation or a bronzer two shades darker then your skin tone. I really like the contour/blush palette from e.l.f. It's $3 usd and wont brake the bank.
Then you want a highlighter. I really like the healthy glow bronzer in luminance from e.l.f. It's $1 usd.
1. To contour your nose- Apply bronzer to either side of your nose, if your nose slops downwards a trick is to create a v shape at the end of your nose. Make sure you blend everything so you don't have harsh lines.
2. To contour your cheeks- If you suck in your cheeks, hopefully you can see your cheekbones. That is where you need to contour. Sweep all the way from the hairline and stopping an inch before your mouth.
3. To contour your forehead- If you have a predominant forehead, apply the product to the top of the head and into the hairline.
4. To contour your double chin- Apply product onto your jawline and under the ears, and bring the product down your neck.
5. To highlight your nose- Bring the product straight down the bridge of you nose.
6. To highlight your cheeks- Apply the product on your cheek bone, after your blush.
~Use the picture above to help you place your contour and highlight.
~You can also add highlight to the top of your lip to create a fuller lip.
~Make sure you go to the hairline! Or you will be able to tell.

The cloud is a growing trend in outsourced computing power. On the upside, services can scale horizontally to handle load – but the cost increases with the number of servers. On the downside, there's less visibility into application and network internals. The paradox is that, while it costs more money to run more servers, it's more difficult to get the data necessary to troubleshoot and optimize to reduce the need for more servers.
While there are tools to allow packet capture in virtual environments, they're generally not available in a cloud. Cloud providers won't give you access to virtual taps, because public cloud multitenancy will expose data from multiple cloud customers. Fortunately, there are situations where cloud packet-level analysis is still possible, by focusing directly on the endpoints.
The goal of packet-level analysis in the cloud generally focuses on two things:
- End-User Experience
- Application efficiency of cloud-hosted services
End-User Experience
The primary measurement of an end-user facing cloud service is going to be the end-user experience: is the service "fast" enough to assure satisfaction?
For large-scale deployments, the application itself often measures the quality of the connection. Netflix uses active feedback in the video viewer to signal quality back to the service: congestion on the link will trigger a lower quality video stream. Web client interfaces can also use javascript to measure and report request/response timing data, but developers will often forego quality measurement in favor of more features, leaving it to other teams (like you!) to test.
A network-centric approach uses test clients running packet capture agents. In this low-effort method, start a local packet capture, connect to the service, perform some typical operations, stop the packet capture, and measure the results. If the service feels "fast", the test is done, and the packet capture provides a baseline. If the service feels "slow", the packet capture provides hard data for analysis.
The best technique is application vs. network latency. TCP signaling provides valuable insight: a fast server will include the ACK and the payload in a single packet, but a slow or overloaded server will send an ACK relatively quickly, followed by the payload later. Since TCP operates at the kernel level, it is a higher priority task than the application, so the server will send an ACK right away. The same is true on a lightly loaded server if the application needs to gather information from an external source like a database. In most cases, there will be a combination of events: the ACK may arrive slowly, indicating slow network, followed by the payload, indicating slow application.
Assuming that there are network-level issues (slow ACK), the way to identify if they're the cloud host or if they're elsewhere in the Internet is to test from multiple locations. If you're not part of a multi-national organization, then the cloud itself can help you. Many cloud providers offer a choice of location, and inexpensive (or free) hosting for small instances. If the network issues only show up in certain locations, it's the local client network; otherwise it's likely your cloud service provider.
Once you've done some manual end-user experience testing, you may be able to scale up by automating the tests. Most cloud services provide an API, which will let you automate the client's interaction with the service. Combine that with some OS-level scripting to start and stop the packet capture, and you've got a low-maintenance test system with global deployment. To make analysis even easier to automate, add some basic timing information into your test wrapper script, then automatically upload the results into a basic web service, and it will parse the wrapper timing information to tell you whether further (packet) analysis is necessary.
Cloud-Hosted Services
Organizations that use an external cloud provider, e.g. public cloud or hosted private cloud, can still perform packet-level analysis if they use an IaaS model. Given that you won't be able to capture from the network, you'll need to capture directly on your VM image. Once again, this is becoming easier, as low-impact agents are available that won't use excessive memory or CPU.
The analysis for server-based packet capture is very similar to end-user packet capture.
Look at the TCP ACK versus payload timing. The difference here is that a delay between when the server sends data and when the client sends an ACK is evidence of slow network. If all client flows demonstrate the same network delays, then the problem is within the cloud provider. However, if the server seems slow, but the system stats don't show a lot of load, the app is probably waiting for external data.
Most cloud-hosted apps are distributed: multiple front end servers provide horizontal scalability coordinated by a central back end, like a database. Packet capture on the front end server will show you client requests, followed by a transaction between the front end and the database, followed by the response back to the client. The timing here is also very informative: if the front end waits before transacting with the database, the front end is slow. If the database has a lot of delay in its response, it's the slow part.
Slow back-end services are a frustrating source of latency if the server team isn't monitoring all parts of the distributed app. The instinct in cloud is to add more servers, but that won't help if they're added in the wrong layer. In the cloud, it will only raise the cost, not the end-user experience.
Using the Information
Classic packet capture still has a role in the cloud: demonstrably slow response can help you save money by increasing your application efficiency. Maybe you can use smaller front-end instances and larger back-end instances, or, if constant data consistency isn't necessary, increase app performance by adding local caching of common data. Either way, packet analysis lets you figure out how to save money and gain the economic benefits of moving to the cloud.

SOURCE DeerBusters.com
FREDERICK, Md., Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to your deer fence, nothing protects like steel, particularly if your property is as overrun with rabbits, raccoons, groundhogs, and other smaller pests as deer. While polypropylene is very resistant to chewing, with enough abuse from tiny teeth, it will break-with this in mind, DeerBusters.com is now offering a chew-proof alternative to customers seeking the strongest possible protection against deer and rodent activity.
Steel core cable is the answer to fence and tension system damage caused by rodent chewing. Like the monofilament wire generally recommended by DeerBusters for most fencing applications, steel core wire is used at the top and bottom edge of poly deer fence to hold it upright and taut, creating both a professional and attractive look and a more effective barrier against jumping. It also tightens and reinforces the bottom edge that tends to suffer the most damage from rodents and deer-deer frequently try to dig or crawl under fences before risking a jump. Unlike monofilament, however, steel core will never break or snap because of chewing and digging. The secret of the strength is all in the name: at the center of the cable is a completely chew-proof core of galvanized aircraft cable, braided into seven strands of seven wires. The outside of the wire is a black PVC coating that both protects the steel from weather damage and helps it match the poly deer fence.
DeerBusters' new steel core cable is installed just as standard monofilament is installed, utilizing monofilament connection sleeves, connector clips, Gripples, self-locking ties, and round tighteners. Every length of steel core offered at DeerBusters.com is 8-gauge and compatible with 8-gauge connectors and tighteners. It is available in lengths of 333 feet, 666 feet, 1,000 feet, and 3,000 feet.
Steel core tension wire is recommended for any area experiencing high rodent traffic or where fencing is frequently damaged. DeerBusters suggests pairing steel core tension systems with maximum strength poly fencing and steel web rodent control fencing for the most effective installation possible. While it may only be necessary to install steel core at the bottom edge of a fence to control chewing, it should also be considered for use at the top of the fence in wooded areas where low branches may collapse onto the fence. For even more support, install a third line of steel core wire along the center of the fence to absorb impact from deer running into it.
