Heart disease, No. 1 killer, can sneak up on women
Heart disease can sneak up on women in ways that standard cardiac tests can miss. It's part of a puzzling gender gap: Women tend to have different heart attack symptoms than men. They're more likely to die in the year after a first heart attack.By: Lauran Neergaard, Associated Press

"This year's show is by far the most exciting trade show in Squire Boone Village history. Your cooperation in working with vendors that allows them to sponsor Buyer Happy Hour, Buyer Group Networking Dinners, and various other perks offered buyers such as morning coffee, free WiFi, free samples in buyer lounges, CAZAM bags, and prize giveaways no doubt connects buyers to the show and keeps them coming back each year. Your outstanding support of buying groups such as ZAG, NARB and ZAA have provided a meeting place to gather and learn from each other. Combined with all of your other buyer incentives makes coming to IGES a "do not miss" on any souvenir buyer's calendar. No wonder we had such a good show."
Rick Conway, Squire Boone Village
"The 2012 IGES was a great success for our small company! The show provided me with an opportunity to interact with some of our awesome customers, gain new customers and establish a connection with buyers for future business. The event staff are friendly, always smiling and willing to help. To sum it all up, we will be back in 2013!"
Justin Pressley, Sylvan Dell Publishing
This is the best wholesale show in the country. The professionalism of the show management never ceases to amaze both vendors and buyers. Everyone has a "can do" attitude and it is reflected in both the sales and the atmosphere of the show." --- Nuwati Herbals (Rod Jackson and Kimberly Stauder)
"From all of us at Dillon, THANKS M&M for taking such great care of us over the last 12 years! See you in November!"
Dillon Inc.
"IGES is our favorite show of the year – great location, top notch management, and plenty of buyers!"
Josh Kelly, owner, LightUpToys.com
"We exhibit at many shows throughout the year, but we have to say the IGES show is still our # 1 show every year."
John Fitzsimmons, Rhode Island Novelty
"Being the "new kid on the block" to the show last November, we were both excited and yet apprehensive about our new home. I am delighted to say that our experience exceeded our expectations! Not only was the show management team extremely flexible and easy to work with but the flow of customers to our booth was very rewarding. We are looking forward to the upcoming show in November."
Peter Seresky, Nanco-Nancy Sales
"We always look forward to the IGES® sales experience where we meet and greet many of our thousands of specialty customers. The Sevierville show is always a great way to cap off the year with a boost in sales! The show staff has always accommodated our every need and have become good friends as well as business partners. Thank you for continuing this great event."
Charles and Mary Potter, owners, Legendary Games
IGES/SSS has a lot to be excited about and we hope you will be too!! The show is looking forward to a large expansion beginning in 2013. Our exhibitors will soon call two locations "home":our current and popular Sevierville Events Center plus our brand new facility, the LeConte Center in Pigeon Forge!
The Photo below depicts an artists rendition of the new LeConte Center being built in Pigeon Forge. IGES® has been awarded the contract for this beautiful new center and will be adding it to our current Sevierville location to expand the size of the show beginning November of 2013! MORE companies, MORE product lines and MORE reasons to shop in the Smokies! Located on the River Walk at Jake Thomas Road (Traffic light #5 on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge)

I AM writing these pages on the shore of Long
Island, where the Bay of New York contracts to what is
called the Narrows, nearly opposite the point where our
legalized robbers, the Custom-House officers, board incoming
steamers to ask strangers to take their first American
swear, and where, if false oaths really colored the
atmosphere the air would be bluer than is the sky on this
gracious day. I turn from my writing-machine to the window,
and drink in, with a pleasure that never seems to pall, the
glorious panorama.
"What do you see?" If in ordinary talk I were asked
this, I should of course say, "I see land and water and sky,
ships and houses, and light clouds, and the sun drawing to
its setting over the low green hills of Staten Island and
illuminating all."
But if the question refer to the terms of political economy,
I should say, "I see land and wealth." Land, which is the
natural factor of production; and wealth, which is the
natural factor so changed by the exertion of the human
factor, labor, as to fit it for the satisfaction of human
desires. For water and clouds, sky and sun, and the stars
that will appear when the sun is sunk, are, in the
terminology of political economy, as much land as is the dry
surface of the earth to which we narrow the meaning of the
word in ordinary talk. And the window through which I look;
the flowers in the garden; the planted trees of the orchard;
the cow that is browsing beneath them; the Shore Road under
the window; the vessels that lie at anchor near the bank,
and the little pier that juts out from it; the
trans-Atlantic liner steaming through the channel; the
crowded pleasure-steamers passing by; the puffing tug with
its line of mud-scows; the fort and dwellings on the
opposite side of the Narrows; the lighthouse that will soon
begin to cast its far-gleaming eye from Sandy Hook; the big
wooden elephant of Coney Island; and the graceful sweep of
the Brooklyn Bridge, that may be discovered from a little
higher up; all alike fall into the economic term wealth —
land modified by labor so as to afford satisfaction to human
desires. All in this panorama that was before man came here,
and would remain were he to go, belongs to the economic
category land; while all that has been produced by labor
belongs to the economic category wealth, so long as it
retains its quality of ministering to human desire.
But on the hither shore, in view from the window, is a
little rectangular piece of dry surface, evidently reclaimed
from the line of water by filling in with rocks and earth.
What is that? In ordinary speech it is land, as
distinguished from water, and I should intelligibly indicate
its origin by speaking of it as "made land." But in the
categories of political economy there is no place for such a
term as "made land." For the term land refers only and
exclusively to productive powers derived wholly from nature
and not at all from industry, and whatever is, and in so far
as it is, derived from land by the exertion
of labor, is wealth. This bit of dry surface
raised above the level of the water by filling in stones and
soil, is, in the economic category, not land but wealth. It
has land below it and around it, and the material of which
it is composed has been drawn from land; but in itself it
is, in the proper speech of political economy, wealth; just
as truly as the ships I behold are not land but wealth,
though they too have land below them and around them and are
composed of material drawn from land.

Getting Real…or Not
At this point, we know that most of the vehicles we see in auto commercials today aren't real. They're very well-realized models; animated, lit, and carefully choreographed with other objects (real or not), within tightly motion-tracked live-action scenes.
Except for "most" of the actors, there is very little in modern advertising that isn't the product of long hours of software application coding (much of that done by my good friends in the labyrinthine folds and levels of Autodesk), followed by longer hours of someone pushing a mouse or waving a stylus at some digital display. I'm probably not going to lose too many artists when I say that even some of the people, the "folks" we see in advertising, are not…quite…real. Yes, watching an automobile commercial these days and believing what you see is sort of like being plugged into the Matrix.
Okay…in a way advertising has always been thus; it's advertising after all─marketing. But it doesn't stop there. More and more, the digital world is entering our own. And we are believing what we're seeing─or trying to.
So where does this put us as artists?
I don't think we're going to go the way of the Photorealists, except in those moments where we "have to" be photo-real. Much of the "art" comes in when we create things that can't possibly exist in nature─and make those things believable. Hyper-real as they say. But even hyper-real comes with a cost. Somewhere along the line we may just have bullet-trained over a precious commodity called, "suspension of disbelief."
Remember that thing we had as kids─that ability to pick up a stick, make it a rifle in our heads and play soldier all day long? Sadly, you may not remember that time. It may actually have died before you were born. But there was such a time, there was such an ability, and we all had it. Especially our audience, the other kids we were playing with. We had that ability to "suspend disbelief" for a time and thoroughly believe and enjoy a world that only existed in our heads.
What has happened over time is that we've made so many unreal things "real" that our audience has come to expect that everything they see is either real or just flat wrong. Their suspension of disbelief has gone the way of the dodo.
We need to give it back to them.
Check back here for the next Visually Speaking and I'll toss out a few ideas for how we can do that.

Hey psions, how do you do the Just-Do-It method?
You would have to just do it like you do anything else like you want to catch a ball. You don't even think cause you can 'just do it'. You would rarely even think about catching the ball. You just do it. The same method applies to using PK. You don't think about it, like say fishing. You would want that fishing pole to bob, you need it to bob and after a minute or two, it bobs up and down, but you didn't get a bite. It takes some amount of concentration though and you would have to put your mind to it. This is my way of understanding this method. There might be other ways but I prefer this one. Hope I helped!
go on psi pog and look at NI telekinesis manual I thats the just do it method. I used to use that method. but now I'm methodless
Just read the question you posed over and over again until you find the answer.

Conditions of Use
I think Edutopia is a cool place to be because you can excel at what you are really good at and show people how you do it. I would like to have something like Smartsville at Voyager because it looks really fun and I can feel like I'm responsible for important things. I like how they changed the school into a "city" and have the kids do different responsibilities like the post office and the cooking class. That stuff looks really fun and I would love to go there for a lot of reasons like the cooking class because I love food and centural park because I think it's a good place to talk and play with my friends. The last thing is the ways they learn about they're smarts and how to make them better at them, and I like how they get to show off they're smarts at a presentation they have every year.Again I would love to have smartsville at Voyager!

a-JAYS Four Headphones
Wearing earbuds is a bit like wearing undergarments; what one chooses to wear is often an intimate and personal decision. And though we know tastes will vary wildly when it comes to selecting your own go-to pair, we've found a set that we couldn't recommend more highly. Designed and manufactured by the Swedish headphone company JAYS, the a-JAYS Four are hands down, one of the best day-to-day headphones we've used. Created specifically with the iPhone 4 in mind, and compatible with a broad array of Apple listening devices, these are the headphones for those in search of a design and quality worth pairing with your iPhone. Anyone who's ever struggled with knotted cords will immediately appreciate the flat cable design of the a-JAYS Four, which are produced with a TPE coating that further ensures they remain tangle free, even after being stuffed in your pants pocket. |
The fabrication details are carried through in nearly every element of the design, from the tiny plastic nib outside the right-hand earbud to the intelligent concave/convex buttons on the remote (two intuitive touch queues that make use a cinch). Those obsessed with detail will appreciate how the width of the cable and the edge finishing on the remote is nearly identical to edge on the iPhone 4, and how the L-shaped plug blends seamlessly with the iPhone 4's form-factor. When it comes to sound, the a-JAYS Four do not disappoint. They ship with a range of in-ear sleeves to provide ideal sound isolation, no matter the user. The 8.6 mm speakers deliver a well-balanced sound with a solid bass response, and have been tweaked to perform great in the voice frequency range, so that phone calls don't have to take a back seat. While there are hundreds of options for headphones on the market, the a-JAYS Four get our vote for the best iPhone compatible version available. |
Remote and MicThe a-JAYS remote uses the latest available microphone technology. It's a digital, active surface-mounted MEMS silicon microphone that removes GSM/TDMA burst noise and provides wide-band RF noise suppression, giving it the best performance on the market. The MEMS microphone also works in 360 degrees meaning it will effectively pick up your speech in any position. Choose Your ColorThe a-JAYS Four are available in either black or white, to match your iPhone or suit your taste.
A Perfect FitThe a-JAYS Four come with up to 5 pairs of silicone sleeves ranging in size from XXS to L. This allows all users to achieve a natural, comfortable fit, and maximum external sound insulation. CompatibilityThe remote and mic of the a-JAYS Four are supported by iPod nano (4th generation and later), iPod classic 120 GB, 160 GB (2009), iPod touch (2nd generation and later), iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad, iPad 2 and iPad 3. The remote is supported by iPod shuffle (3rd generation and later). Audio is supported by all iPod models. Compatibility requires the latest iPod software. a-JAYS are also compatible with Macbook, Macbook Pro and Mac Pro (2009 and later). The remote and mic are also compatible with most applications such as VOIP, Skype, iChat and other recording applications such as voice memo.

Civic and business leaders rolled out big plans Thursday for Detroit's Woodward Corridor.
The Downtown Detroit Partnership and Detroit Economic Growth Corporation and Quicken Loans and Rock Ventures founder detailed their plans about a series of temporary shops and restaurants.
The plan is centered on creating six distinct and unique destinations that draw people to the region, give them an experience that will make them want to return frequently and where they will want to spend more time.
--Renderings from Opportunity Detroit plan
The development of a retail strategy for the Woodward Corridor has been under way for seven months. Four urban planning firms are involved in the project.
Woodward Avenue stretches north through the city from the downtown riverfront.
The federal Transportation Department also has committed $25 million to build a $140-million, 3.3-mile streetcar line along Woodward.
--Dan Gilbert
Papa Joe's Market coming to downtown
Rock Ventures says plans are being finalized for a Papa Joe's Gourmet Market to move into the First National building near Campus Martius Park.
Papa Joe's would occupy approximately 15,000 square feet of first floor space adjacent to the Roasting Plant in the building. While meeting the growing demand for a downtown grocer, the new market is also expected to create 80 new jobs.
"This is a historic opportunity to be on the ground floor of my hometown's retail revitalization," said Papa Joe's Founder Tony Curtis. "As a grocer, it is a point of pride to bring healthy, fresh groceries and specialty foods back to downtown."
According to Curtis, the concept for the new store is a little different than the typical Papa Joe's. In addition to everything available at Papa Joe's suburban locations, the downtown location will also include delivery and table service for gourmet pizza, pasta, Thai food, sushi as well as a full liquor license. A native Detroiter, Curtis opened his first store in 1971 at 10 Mile and Schoenherr in Warren and currently has locations in Birmingham and Rochester Hills.

The Tea Party Movement and its contradictions: the story of a street protest movement with elite origins, a maverick movement with loss on its mind, an outsider group with insider claims, a non-political organisation with clear party connections.
Did the Tea Party Movement come into being in February 2009? Or perhaps in response to the civil rights movements of the 1960s, or in the 1840s, or maybe during the French Revolution … And what of its claims to a connection to the Revolutionary War?
As the US moves towards its 2012 Presidential Elections, the Tea Party Movement remains an influential not-quite-third-party force. On Rear Vision today, we try to get a handle on its origins.
