Diva of the day – Raquel Diaz (Shaul Guerrero)
Jan 18, 2012 - by Steve Gerweck
Pro Wrestling Since 1997
Jan 18, 2012 - by Steve Gerweck
THAT is a very unflattering picture of Shaul.
It's pretty, idk how it's unflattering,
Although idk why but when I clicked the link all I could think about were "Eddie" chants, Shaul was 15 when he died and he never made it to her graduation, I may miss the hell out of the guy but damn it's good to see her pull thru with life so wonderfully after all these years. Vickie too, even though I hate to admit it, mainly because her character is a f'in joke, I hope they fix Vickie soon, idk how much more I can take watching her annoy, all it does is make me miss Eddie more.
If she was aiming to look like a tranny she was dead on.
give her a break lol she actually isn't that bad in other pics and that's eddie's daughter come on!
She looks like the typical Latin chick you'd see on Plenty Of Fish.
@Mackdeezy what's up with that? Do you know the Guerrero family? Lol because from the sound of your post it seems like either you might have known them, orrrrrrr you're another mark that knows all… and if she is Eddie's daughter why is she a Diaz? Just asking because you probably know them… lmao
@Zach, stfu…Diaz is a gimmick name you moron….jeez

Hands on: Toshiba Satellite Radius 12 reviewNot yet rated TechRadar Pro
UpdatedThe first 12.5-inch laptop with a 4K display impresses in nearly all the right areas.
UpdatedThe first 12.5-inch laptop with a 4K display impresses in nearly all the right areas.
UpdatedThe iPhone 6S is precisely the phone we expected – same chassis, big upgrades inside. But are they really enough?
Its specification may not be ground-breaking but this looks like a fairly solid option for beginners.
A 20Mp 1-inch sensor, electronic viewfinder, vari-angle screen and touch control give this smart compact camera bags of appeal.
Now you can get the imaging power and control of the Canon PowerShot G7 X in a body that's 25% smaller.
In 182 countries worldwide, Deezer ups the ante for hi-def streaming with a 35 million-song catalog, but can it outplay Apple Music?
The new XPS 12 is an inventive take on the 2-in-1 laptop device, with a hinge-less approach and a sharp, popping 4K display.
Liquid-cooling takes the Asus ROG GX700 to all new heights, making this the first machine capable of mobile VR gaming.
While the Asus ROG G752 gaming laptop is treated a new look, it also receives have a ton of improvements inside.

|The Game Story:
|NEWARK, Del. -- Eric Smith, Danny Keane (at right), and Nick Diachenko each scored three times and goalkeeper Conor Peaks collected a career-high 13 saves as the University of Delaware men's lacrosse team overpowered Michigan for a 12-5 non-league victory Saturday at sunny Delaware Stadium.
The Blue Hens (4-8) led wire-to-wire to pick up their second straight victory as they head into the homestretch of the 2013 season.
Delaware got scoring from six different players, forced 18 turnovers, and committed a season-low seven turnovers themselves, including just two in the opening half.
"I was very impressed with our efforts today," said Delaware head coach Bob Shillinglaw, who picked up his 309th career victory. "We were sharp and we did a great job of executing. I can't remember a game when I looked at the stats at halftime and we only had two turnovers."
Athlete photoDiachenko (at left), who now leads the team with 27 goals this season, posted a hat trick for the second straight game and for the seventh time in his career while Keane posted his fifth career hat trick. Smith, who also dished out an assist, broke out of a scoring slump in a big way after netting just one goal over the previous five games.
Ian Robertson also scored a goal and dished out an assist for the Blue Hens, Connor McRoy contributed a goal and an assist, and Dom Sebastiani contributed an assist and caused four turnovers.
Michigan (0-11), a second-year varsity program, lost its 19th straight game dating back to last season and remained one of just two NCAA Division I men's programs without a victory this season.
Mike Hernandez and Evan Glaser each scored a goal and dished out an assist for the Wolverines while goalkeeper Gerald Logan, who leads the nation in saves per game, matched his average with 15 stops.
"There is always a concern with fatigue when you play a mid-week game (an 8-7 win at Marist Wednesday), but our guys came out and practiced great on Thursday and Friday," continued Shillinglaw. "We were aggressive for all four quarters today, Peaks was outstanding in goal, and our offense did a great job of running the plays all the way through. We accomplished everything we wanted to today."
The Blue Hens jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead after one quarter and upped the margin to 5-0 on a goal by McRoy with 6:18 left in the first half.
Michigan misfired on its first 15 shots and did not get on the board until Hernandez scored with 1:06 left in the first half. But the Hens matched when Keane scored off a Smith feed with just 14 seconds left to give Delaware a 6-1 advantage at the break.
Athlete photoDiachenko, Keane, and Sean Finegan each scored a goal in the first six minutes of the third quarter to increase the Delaware lead to 9-1 and put the game away. Goals by Diachenko and Roberts over the final three minutes of the third stanza gave the Hens an insurmountable 11-2 lead heading into the final stanza.
The game marked Delaware's annual Cancer Awareness Day and the Blue Hens wore special pink uniforms in support of the fight against a disease that has effected the families of several team members.

The Wall Street Journal nails it today vis a vis Hillary Clinton and her performance before Congress about her dereliction of duty in Benghazi and in general.
As we watched this exchange, it occurred to us that Mrs. Clinton was back in a familiar role, and an ironic one for someone who is supposed to be a feminist icon. Once again, she was helping the most powerful man in the world dodge accountability for scandalous behavior.
Almost exactly 15 years ago, on Jan. 27, 1998, then-First Lady Clinton went on NBC's "Today" show amid rumors that her husband had carried on a sexual affair with a lowly subordinate in the Oval Office: "The great story here, for anybody willing to find it and write about it and explain it, is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president."
How vast was the right-wing conspiracy really? With all due respect, what difference does it make? Mr. Clinton had in fact carried on the affair in the Oval Office and lied under oath about it in a sexual harassment lawsuit; he subsequently lied in a criminal investigation as well. As a result, history remembers Mrs. Clinton and Eliza McCardle Johnson (no relation to Ron, as far as we know) as the only women ever married to impeached presidents.
Why buy the cow when the milk is free Hillary baby? We don't need a blue dress to see evidence of your debasement before powerful men.

"I have directed Secretary Connelly to suspend temporarily the convertibility of the dollar into gold." — Richard M. Nixon, Aug. 15, 1971
In the spirit of commemoration, we cannot allow the 42nd anniversary of Nixon's speech go without comment. Addressing the Nation to "outline a new economic policy," he failed to disappoint: Wage and price controls were instituted, the automobile industry was browbeaten into reducing prices and a 10 percent tariff was assessed on all imports. All this occurred before Nixon announced his grandest exploit: the termination of U.S. commitments to exchange gold for dollars with foreign governments.
Previously, the Federal Reserve's ability to issue new money was limited by the threat of depleting the government's gold reserves. Printing too many dollars led foreign governments to start favoring gold over holding depreciating U.S. dollars. Nixon's actions (which proved not to be temporary) ended the last vestige of a gold standard, erased all limits on the unchecked printing of money and effectively ended the world's currency system (known as Bretton Woods) in place since World War II.
Whether Nixon was sincere in his belief that these actions would truly, to use his terms, "nurture and stimulate" the economy or if, perchance, he knew better and deceived the American people, we have no comment. We reserve our commentary not to purpose, but to effect.
And the effect was an unmitigated disaster. Nixon promised Americans that any talk of inflation with an unconstrained Federal Reserve was a "bugaboo" and that his actions would actually "stabilize the dollar." (If you wish to listen to Nixon in his own words, the latter part of his speech can be viewed here.) According to him, the risk of Americans paying higher prices was extremely limited:
If you want to buy a foreign car or take a trip abroad, market conditions may cause your dollar to buy slightly less. But if you are among the overwhelming majority of Americans who buy American-made products in America, your dollar will be worth just as much tomorrow as it is today.
Despite these assurances, inflation became a hallmark of the 1970s as the unimpeded Federal Reserve zealously increased the money supply. The year 1973 experienced inflation of 9 percent, 1974 brought 12 percent, and the decade was closed out with a peak inflation rate of 14 percent in 1979. Since the date of Nixon's speech, the dollar has lost 83 percent of its value. One dollar then is worth 17 cents today. What will it be worth tomorrow?
We cannot say with certainty, for while the creation of money causes inflation, the effect does not correspond fully in magnitude. Nor is it immediate. In fact, the lag between the expansion of the money supply and the onset of inflation could be years. If so, what expectations are reasonable based upon the Federal Reserve's actions since 2008? The scary answer can be found in this chart depicting U.S. monetary growth.
[Editor's Note: If inflation's effects were immediate, people would catch on pretty quickly and they wouldn't stand for it. The average American is a little too dim on real economics to understand why creating new money from nothing is a horrible idea, and the political class is far too evil not to exploit this ignorance so they can rip off dollar holders. The dollar will continue on its accelerated slide to zero while gold will go up. So keep trading those Federal Reserve Notes for gold, but be sure to internationalize your gold holdings.

To tweak a famous quote by Winston Churchill, wiping away the last traces of the gold standard was not a new beginning for U.S. monetary policy. It was not even the end of the beginning. But it was, perhaps, the beginning of the end.

InaDWriMo is, and I quote:
International acaDemic Writing Month is the academic's answer to NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month. It was originally created by StyleyGeek as International Dissertation Writing Month, but because so many of us who had already finished our degrees were interested in a little challenge, the D was loosely interpreted as acaDemic. This means that you can write your dissertation, a book chapter, an article, a grant proposal – anything goes, as long as it is academic.
The festivities are being ably hosted, once again, by Dr. Brazen Hussy. To participate, all you need to do is sign up. And like all good challenges, there are prizes for the winners. Cocktails, to be specific.
Below the fold, you can see what's on my plate for the month. Plus, a bonus picture of Minnow "in costume."
After promising myself all summer and fall that if I just got through October, I'd be on the downhill slope for the year, I find myself facing another steep ascent to make it through my already-committed tasks in November. So it's a good thing that InaDWriMo is here to help.
I hereby commit to:
- Finishing my last 2008 grant proposal by November 10th. Work remaining is ~5 pages of writing, budget stuff, etc.
- Starting and completing major reviewer-requested revisions to a paper by editor-imposed November 27th (Thanksgiving). This requires some new data collection, revisiting some data analyses, and majorly restructuring some of the arguments in the paper. By the time the paper is returned to the journal, I'll probably have several revised figures, one new figure, and ~7000 tightly, rewritten words.
- Completing most of the data analysis for my AGU poster. The conference isn't until mid-December, but I'll need some time to actually get the poster organized. This one definitely does have to happen, but I feel much less confident that I'll be able to complete the analyses on deadline for InaDWriMo.
I'm not sure how to make a tracker for these tasks, other than to report back as major components are completed. I'll probably try for Saturday updates on-blog as suggested by Dr. BH.
Finally, for those of you still reading, I present the "refused to wear her ladybug costume, so Thursday afternoon Mommy ran to Target to get orange pants, painted some paper green and attached strips of it to a hat, so that she could be a carrot…but refused to wear the carrot hat and belatedly decided to wear a previously-refused witches hat" "orange witch" Toddler.

Unfairly laid off push for payouts
- Published: 9-May-14
- Writer: Penchan Charoensuthipan
Buakaew Waiyawan, 45, worked for a medium-sized company producing corrugated paper and plastic products in Chon Buri.
Just before Songkran, the company, D R World Co, announced it was closing down.
Management asked the staff to work for their new firm, B B Number One Co.
Some workers agreed to work there, but others refused to move as the new factory was some 30km away from their old workplace, Mrs Buakaew said.
The company refused to pay them compensation, forcing the employees to seek help from the Labour Protection and Welfare Department, she said.
The problems faced by workers in small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially with regard to compensation after being made redundant, are nothing new.
Workers have been pushing for a long-awaited redundancy insurance fund to help them if they are unfairly laid off.
Labour groups have aired the grievances of workers who have been laid off without compensation and have also been pressing for the fund to be set up.
Permanent secretary for labour Jeerasak Sukhonthachart says several funds have been set up to provide savings for workers.
These funds includes welfare benefits for the elderly under the Social Security Act as well as provident funds under the Provident Fund Act, where both employees and employers must contribute.
However, social welfare legislation does not cover compensation for workers who reach retirement age or their families in the event of death.
The Employee Welfare Fund, set up under the 1998 Labour Protection Act, received 200 million baht from the government in 2000, 50 million baht in 2002, 100 million in 2008 and 50 million baht in 2010.
In recent years, the fund has helped laid-off workers who did not get compensation or wages from their employers.
So far, the fund has given about 4.2 million baht to over 100 unpaid workers and it has collected 400,000 baht from employers who had not paid their workers.
On top of state subsidies, the welfare fund is topped up by fines collected from employers who violate the Labour Protection Act.
Since the Employee Welfare Fund came into force in 1998, employers are not required to contribute to the fund. The delay in a decision to get companies to contribute to a redundancy fund is no comfort for workers like Mrs Buakaew.
"There was no cause for celebration during this Songkran festival. I was laid off without getting compensation money,'' she said.
Mrs Buakaew and others are still waiting for compensation and the future is bleak. Household expenses are building up as she tries to look for a new job. But at 45, finding work is not easy.

Shadow Dance (Mass Market Paperbound)
What Lurks in the Dark Shadows of the Heart?
Most men who see Amanda Charles dance worship her from afar. But one "admirer" is getting too close to the glamorous showgirl...perilously close. The looks, style, and grace that make Amanda sparkle on stage have now made her something else: the target of a serial killer.
Detective Tristan MacLaughlin has drawn the case that is pulling him deep into a world of pageantry and dazzle -- and closer to the stunning, violet-eyed beauty who keeps her secrets and emotions locked tightly inside. Tristan never thought he'd be bewitched by Amanda's charms, never though he'd care. And he never imagined that by wanting her, by trying to protect her, he'd place her in the gravest danger of all.

Two young research scientists are at the cutting edge of experimental technologies which could help save the planet.
The work of North West-based Ian Carline and Ruyi Hu has the potential to cut thousands of tons of carbon emissions and save millions and both their projects focus on the billions of litres of wastewater generated each year.
The two scientists are part of the Research and Development team of the North West's water and wastewater giant, United Utilities. Both their projects offer the possibility of major environmental benefits and could help cut water bills.
Ian is involved in a new way of eliminating harmful micro-organisms from sewage sludge, potentially reducing energy consumption over today's methods by up to 75% and eliminating 2,000 tonnes of C02 emissions each year.
Although currently only a laboratory demonstration, the Carbon Trust has been impressed enough with the possibilities of the technology to provide a grant of nearly £110,000 to further its development.
Ruyi is working at making big reductions in the amount of chemicals used in sewage treatment. His innovative method has the additional benefit of producing methane gas which could be converted to electricity to help run United Utilities' plants.
Each year, UU invests around £1.5million to research and development projects looking at the impacts of climate change.
The company is also spending £22million on the creation of Combined Heat and Power engines that harvest the methane gas given off by sewage sludge.
Not only can such plants provide the heat for treatment processes and the electricity to run the works, they do it by using up methane which is 23 times more damaging to the atmosphere than C02.
"We have high hopes of each of the projects Ruyi and Ian are involved with, but although exciting progress is being made, it could be years before either of these experimental technologies could realistically be ready to be introduced into our operation," said Chris Matthews, Head of Environment and Sustainability.

Jessica Chiappone
Shepard Broad Law Center
Bettering Oneself and the World
Jessica Chiappone is far from a typical law student.
Her mother left the family when she was 12 years old. She got into trouble with the law. She was in an abusive relationship. A roommate stole her identity. She dropped out of high school. And she became a single mom.
"I didn't have self esteem and I didn't care," says the third-year law student at Nova Southeastern University's Shepard Broad Law Center.
During the past decade, she turned her life around. The first person in her family to go to college, she earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from St. John's University in Jamaica, New York, where she was on the Dean's List.
At NSU, she is the American Bar Association (ABA) Law Student Division liaison for the Criminal Justice Section's Juvenile Justice Committee for Broward County. She is also in the ABA Law Student Division Fifth Circuit Lieutenant Governor Prerelease Initiative Pro Bono Honors Program for Florida. In the prerelease program, she works with incarcerated parents, and her lesson plan includes teaching parents how their lives can negatively affect their children.
She also was elected vice president of three student groups: the Criminal Law Society, the Public Interest Law Society, and the Italian American Law School Association.
A legal intern for the Seventeenth Circuit's Guardian ad Litem Program in Broward County, she drafts motions, responds to discovery requests, observes dependency hearings, creates timelines for case files, and logs court documents. The cases are heartbreaking, she says, but she wants to help the children so they don't go down the wrong path.
"Everyone tells me I am crazy," she said. "Why even go to law school? I'm a fighter, and I hope I will be a role model for someone else."
Chiappone, who hopes to become a public defender, chose the NSU Law Center after her father was diagnosed with bladder cancer and they moved to South Florida for medical treatment. He is healthy now and helps take care of her two children while she goes to school two nights a week.
She also works as a research assistant for her two favorite law professors—Phyllis Coleman, J.D., and Michael Flynn, J.D. Coleman describes Chiappone as a goal-oriented hard worker who is focused on helping children.
"She is passionate about what she wants to do," Coleman said. "A lot of people say they want to make a difference. I truly believe that Jessica wants to make the world a better place. She has a plan and I think she is going to follow through with it. She is a genuine person. She really does care."
Flynn sees Chiappone as enthusiastic about learning.
"I think she has what appears to be two contradictory characteristics," he said, explaining why she will make a good lawyer. "She is exceptionally tough, but she also is incredibly sensitive. This is a person who will be able to understand people and be tough-minded enough to follow through."
It has been a rough battle to change her life, but her family keeps her motivated."For them," she says, pointing to photos of her sons, Anthony, nine years old, and Joey, three years old. "I know I made mistakes, and I can't tell them not to make mistakes. I want to show them if you try, you can succeed. If I fail, how can I set an example for them?"

FARRAH FAWCETT & RYAN O'NEAL son snares "get out of jail free" card, goes directly to rehab.
Redmond O'Neal formally pleaded "no contest" this morning to felony possession of heroin and firearms charges, and will be released from jail Wednesday and will enter a one year inpatient rehab treatment program.
RadarOnline.com [2] reported O'Neal had been in jail since his arrest two weeks ago, because of a prior conviction of heroin possession.
O'Neal's legal team convinced Judge Keith Schwartz this morning that Redmond should go back to rehab, and not jail.
O'Neal also admitted to the probation violation for being arrested while still on felony probation from his heroin possession case two years ago.
Redmond will be released from jail and immediately go to an undisclosed rehab location.
Redmond's dad, Ryan, was present in court this morning for the proceedings, along with Farrah Fawcett's best friend, Alana Stewart.
Stepsister Tatum O'Neal was not present due to "other commitments".

Horny gay stud Jonathan has got a tingling in his ass that needs to be scratched! He has enlisted the help of his friend Andrew, who has brought along an array of fresh fruit and vegetables to help Jonathan's quest. First Andrew grabs a banana, sliding it into Jonathan's butt while he sucks his dick. Soon Jonathan is moaning, his erect pole licking precum as the banana stimulates his prostate directly. Andrew knows that Jonathan is an experienced anal slut, so he pulls out an even larger cucumber that is at least 3 inches in diameter. Jonathan moans as he is anally stretched by that large vegetable - but he manages to take it all!

Barack Obama is trying to do something no president has ever done: get re-elected without winning the national popular vote. If he were to somehow succeed at this, he would be the weakest elected president since Rutherford B. Hayes, and the lamest lame duck in American history. Since popular vote totals were first recorded in 1824, four presidents have been elected while losing the popular | Read More »
If you needed further proof about just how much the President has cheapened the Presidency, consider his latest ad, which not only compares voting for him for the first time to losing virginity, but also ridicules those who might not want to lose their virginity to just any politician.

There seems to be no low to which President Obama will sink in his desperate attempt to win reelection.

According to an article in The New York Times, on August 15 of this year a successful cyberattack struck Aramco, Saudi Arabia's national oil company and the world's largest oil producer.

One of the major reasons why Mitt Romney was able to make such rapid inroads against Barack Obama in their first debate, and why poll after poll shows that independent voters have turned decisively against Obama, is that Romney was able to lay bare the hollowness of Obama's claims to bipartisanship. And given the Obama record of the past four years, there is no reason | Read More »
In the aftermath of the second town-hall style Presidential debate, Democrats pounced on a statement made by Governor Romney concerning a question about equal pay for women in the workplace. His explanation of how his administration worked with women's groups included recounting that the women's groups brought them "binders full of women." The statement exploded immediately, with those on the left painting the Governor as | Read More »
Barack Obama has lost North Carolina and Florida. His ground game is at near parity in early voting with the GOP, the GOP is more energized, and he is going to lose both.

The whole time during the last Presidential debate, Mitt Romney looked like the incumbent and Barack Obama looked like a challenger trying to keep it together. More specifically, Barack Obama, when he made eye contact, looked like he was seeing and invisible hand writing "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin" on the wall behind Bob Schieffer.

The preliminary results are in and Barack Obama's debate performance Tuesday night is apparent in the polls.
I think Mitt Romney won the debate, but not by much. He flubbed a few good opportunities to really score decisive blows on the President, but definitely drew more blood.

While more thought Barack Obama won the debate, largely because his last performance was so bad, clear majorities outside the margin of error thought Mitt Romney | Read More »

Southeast Church Blog
This is the blog for Southeast Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Meditate on Him
Meditation is consciously listening for the voice of God as we ready ourselves to be obedient to that which we hear. The great psychiatrist Carl Jung once said, "Hurry is not of the Devil, it is the Devil." If we ever hope that we will be able to experience God at a deeper level, we must slow down our pace and quiet our lives. It is only in doing so that we will be able to hear the voice of God and focus on God's word.
Spending time in meditation causes us to go into the deep recesses of the spirit. It takes us to a place of consciousness where cell phones and iPads cannot take us. It is there that we truly find our oneness with God.
We must "still and quiet our souls" as the Psalmist writes so that in the sacred stillness we may hear from God. Take time to listen silently for the voice of God. God will speak to you as never before and the blessing will be enormous.
With a listening heart,
Pastor J. M. Hurst

"Great for jazzy numbers or ragtime, as well as many other styles."
The Hohner 560 Special 20 in country tuning (also known as major 7th tuning in cross harp position) has the 5-draw reed tuned 1/2 a step higher (to F# on a C harp) than normal, allowing you to play a complete major diatonic scale in cross harp. As expert harp player Steve Baker describes in his book, The Harp Handbook, "What all this means in practice is that you can play major melodies whilst retaining the bluesy bending capabilities of the 2nd position. This is great for jazzy numbers or ragtime, as well as many other styles...."
Musicians that favor this harmonica include country music legends such as Charlie McCoy and renowned jazz musicians such as Lil' Ronnie Owens of the Grand Dukes.
The Special 20 is the most recommended go-to harp for harmonica players of any style, including blues, country, folk, or rock. The Special 20 delivers the coveted Marine Band sound and offers the added benefits of its plastic comb, which doesn't absorb moisture. Plastic combs are stable and do not swell, shrink, or crack. Plus they last longer and are more airtight than wood combs that can become swollen, twisted, and warped. Increased airtightness also means increased responsiveness. Plastic also provides comfort and it's smoother on the lips, preventing chafing. Another plus of the Hohner 560 Special 20 is that its reed plates are recessed into the comb. This keeps the 2 (rather sharp) edges of the brass reed plates from harming the your lips. The Special 20 is the harp-of-choice of harmonica virtuoso John Popper of the band Blues Traveler and was played by Bob Dylan on his 2007-2008 tour. Chances are your favorite player has several of these harmonicas in his case.
Choose your desired key!

Does your pest company still power spray or spray inside monthly?
There are several things happening around the U.S. which may impact pest control in your specific area.
- The EPA has been trying to reduce the use of rodentcides, mainly due to secondary poisonings. My hope is that people use common sence in placement of poisons, don't randomly throw packets throughout attics or crawlspaces. ProBest has not used any of those packets since 2005 and we have swtiched to Terad3 in rodent stations.
- The restrictions of pesticides continue, power spraying of Permethrin type chemicals are just one of the ways the EPA is limiting chemical usage.
The use of IPM or Integrated Pest Management continues to be the choice of real prevention of pests. So here are a few tips to reduce the use of pesticides and allow them to continue to be used in the future.
- Be aware of placement especially of rodentcides. I'm a big fan of not using any rodenticide within a structure, use of snap traps can be just as effective.
- Use pestcides that can be hidden and placed where insects will find them, crack and crevices, block voids and wall voids.
- Don't spray any flowering plant.
- Follow IPM standards.
- Always read and follow label and use directions.
Scorpions can really hide, can't they?
All I can say is that block walls retain their heat well into the evening hours in Arizona and scorpions don't like cold.
We make it easy for scorpion to live, we almost set up little housing units for them to live in. Then we wonder why we have scorpions, right? So try going out some evening on a scorion hunt, you may learn some interesting things about your property. Maybe you don't really want to know, but I do think its important to have some idea of the populations of these dreaded pests.
The more you can hunt for and destroy the better off you are!
Seek and destroy! Sleep better.
ProBest Pest Management Top 10 Tips how to keep those bugs out!
ProBest Pest Management Top 10 Tips to keep those bugs out!
- Seal up those cracks, holes and any entry points where those critters can get in.
- Reduce harborage areas where those bugs hang out.
- Keep trees, shrubs and vines off the house.
- Check your home monthly for any signs of trouble.
- Never and I mean never stack firewood against the house.
- Check and repair window screens.
- Store food in seal-able containers and I usually freeze it first then store.
- Avoid taking in boxes and storing them in pantry – see #7 above.
- Don't forget to check out buildings, honeybees and termites can show up and do significant damage if not caught immediately.
- Follow your local Pest Management Professional on FaceBook, Twitter or their blog to stay current with local issues.
A Picture is worth a "Thousand Words"
A Picture is worth a "Thousand Words"
I love this picture, this crack is about as thick as a credit card and this German Cockroach was making it's way into it, without much difficulty. German Roaches love to have their top and bottoms of their bodies touching an object, it affords them comfort in knowing that they are out of sight and hidden. This is called Thigmotropic – The turning or bending response of an organism upon direct contact with a solid surface or object.
This isn't the greatest picture but roaches and bugs are able to hide in the smallest of harborages, just think about the ability of Bed Bugs to hide behind baseboards and in dressers or just about any area in which they can flatten out and hide. Remember pests have adapted to us and have done so in remarkable a fashion, they can hide so well that it takes a true Professional to track them down.
If I only had one tool to use for pest control what would it be?
If I only had one tool to use for pest control what would it be?
The tool would be this little fellow, it's a Bellows type hand duster. Now you're probably saying why are 2 different colors of this handy little tool, glad you asked? Green = no pesticide, Red = pesticide. We often use Diatomaceous Earth or DE for short and since its not a pesticide is considered GREEN, this powder has a abrasive texture and cuts the cuticle on the insects and is not considered a pesticide. By the way there are different cuts of DE and you must use a food grade type not the pool stuff.
Now obviously I can't use a duster for everything but this tool could just about take care of everything. I love to dust cracks and crevices where those little bugs hide. You can dust behind baseboards, tack strips excusion plates (those metal plates where pipes comes through the walls), kitchen and bathrooms vanities, inside walls oh any those bump-outs of the block walls ( Bill says those are called pilasters) I'm not convinced yet but everyone knows what a bump-out is.
Doesn't it make sense that that is where the bugs are going to hide during the day? That is where I would hide to get out of the heat and stay away from predators. I'll say this again, anybody can spray a bug but the real test is when there is a mega infestation, its all about the biology and habits of those bugs. Da da that's where ProBest Pest management comes in, "Call a Pro… Call the Best. ProBest!

BB creams also referred to as blemish balms are very popular in Asian countries. I blogged about them about a year ago on my previous blog called Made-up.
The BB creams are becoming increasingly popular here in the U.S. So, if you felt overwhelmed already about choosing a foundation, now throw in the BB creams that are popping up too. What's a girl to do?
Well, I can tell you some general things about whether a BB cream is even right for you before you buy.
Most of the BB creams that are from over seas are targeted to women with fair to light skin.
If your flaws are minor and your skin is already fairly even a BB cream might be right for you. Keep in mind, BB creams don't give heavy coverage so it's not going to hide major skin imperfections.
If you already use a tinted moisturizer a BB cream also might be for you.
On to my review about Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB
Overall, I really like this BB cream. It gives nice coverage and blends easily into the skin. It feels light weight and didn't leave me with an oily complexion, something that Garnier's Miracle Skin Perfector B.B. Cream did. I also like the fact that Maybelline's version comes in five color tints. I purchased mine in medium.
If you have dark skin, the tint in the deep shade probably is not dark enough for your complexion. I still strongly believe that cosmetic companies need to offer darker shades of foundations in general, but that's another blog post for another time.
I have oily skin, while this foundation did not excabberate my oily skin, it didn't stop me from getting oily later in the day. So, I had to do my usual paper blotting.
The price is truly reasonable too at under $8 and that's without a coupon.
So, if your considering buying a BB cream try Maybelline's inexpensive version.
Product details from Maybelline website:
• Blurs imperfections
• Brightens
• Evens skin tone
• Smoothes
• Hydrates
• Enhances
• Protects with SPF 30
• 0% oils and heavy ingredients
My only real complaint was when I got home and went to open the tube, it had already been open. So make sure before you leave the store that your foundation hasn't been opened.

Cable theft is a crime! Federal law [47 U.S.C. 553] states that No person shall intercept or receive or assist in receiving any communications service offered over a cable system, unless specifically authorized to do so by a cable operator or as may otherwise be specifically authorized by law. Violators of the law face possible fines and/or imprisonment.
Cable theft is not a victimless crime. Unauthorized reception of cable services can degrade the signal quality and integrity of an entire cable system. Law-abiding customers suffer as a result. Plus, the necessity for increased service calls and other system maintenance raises operating costs, which ultimately puts pressure on cable rates.
If you know of any instance of cable theft, you can report it by clicking CableTheft.com. You may also contact KCTA for assistance in dealing with the situation.

Survey: Ky. manufacturers plan to hire next year
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) -- Several Kentucky manufacturers say they plan to add new jobs next year.
The Daily News (http://bit.ly/U2sAMF ) in Bowling Green reports the Kentucky Association of Manufacturers Wage and Benefits Survey found that 52 percent of manufacturers who responded have plans to hire up to 19 workers in 2013.
The survey is sponsored by the Kentucky Association of Manufacturers and the state Education and Workforce Development Cabinet's Department of Workforce Investment. More than 184 manufacturers that have more than 68,000 workers responded to the questions. Kentucky had 217,338 workers in its manufacturing sector as of March, according to the workforce investment department.
The Kentucky Association of Manufacturers says companies use information gathered in the survey to assess wages and ensure they are competitive.
"We use this to help our existing companies look at where they fit in comparison with other manufacturers in the state in terms of wages and benefits," said Jessica Thompson, spokeswoman for the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce, which encouraged companies to participate.
She said 22 companies from the Barren River Area Development District, which includes 10 counties, turned in answers to the questionnaire.
"We also use it as a resource for attracting other projects," Thompson said. "When we are working with companies to locate here, we have this information as a resource."
According to manufacturers across the state who did participate, they paid their employees an average of $47,486 in 2012, and 94 percent offered health insurance.
The results are a decrease from last year's survey in which 58 percent of the 228 companies participating said they intended to hire in 2012. That survey showed manufacturing employees made an average of $48,609 annually.
Bowling Green Chamber President Ron Bunch said in a statement that the information gathered by the survey is important.
"More than three-fourths of new jobs come from existing businesses, and we recognize it is integral to economic growth that we aid them by providing resources and information such as the KAM survey," he said.

Question and answer details
|As-Salamu `alykum, I recently lost my father and I am planning to go to perform `Umrah in the month of Ramadan this year, insha' Allah. My question is: Can I perform `Umrah on behalf of my parents and myself in a single visit?
|On Islam Shari`ah Researchers
Wa`alykum as-salaamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Regarding your question, it is allowed for you to perform `Umrah on behalf of your father or any other Muslim. However, if you want to perform `Umrah on behalf of your parents and yourself in a single visit, then you have to perform `Umrah for yourself first, and you have to make Tahleel (removing the ihram attire) after every `Umrah you make it for yourself or on behalf of others by shaving or clipping the hair and then going to Wadi At-Tan`eem to perform ihram from the beginning.
So, if you want to make `Umrah for three persons, you should do it this way.
Allah Almighty knows best.

Do the milkshake the milkshake do the shake
Fans around the world should be rejoicing over the PC release of Dark Souls, with developer From Software finally giving gamers what they wanted. But many are far from happy with the news, and with good reason: This eagerly-anticipated PC port is, in a word, hideous.
We should have seen it coming, with From spokesperson Daisuke Uchiyama admitting in June that things were not exactly going to plan.
To be completely honest, we're having a tough time doing it due to our lack of experience and knowledge in terms of porting to PC.
First we thought it would be a breeze, but it's turned out not to be the case.
From all accounts, the game itself is about as special as you'd expect (with a few early complaints about the keyboard/mouse control), but the way it's presented leaves a lot to be desired. For some unknown reason, Dark Souls for PC has afixed rendering resolution of just 1024x720.
The in-game menu will suggest that it's running at your desktop's native resolution, but - sorry - that's a lie.
From has not officially responded to the issue or patched the problem, however one intrepid gamer has coded up a solution. It might not be perfect, but the new version runs fairly happily at higher resolutions, by simply changing one file.
What is it?
It's an interception d3d9.dll that you place in the same folder as the game executable. It intercepts the game's calls to the DirectX 9 API and changes them as necessary to enable a higher internal rendering resolution.
How do I use it?
Place d3d9.dll and DSfix.ini into the game's binary directory. (The place where DARKSOULS.exe is)
You can open DSfix.ini with a text editor to adjust the desired internal resolution.
As this is a largely untested project, creator Durante reminds gamers that this has only been tested on one computer, for the first half hour of the game. There are no guarantees that it will work on anyone else's machines, or that it won't cause any adverse effects. (That said, Durante saw a marked improvement: 30 FPS at 2560x1440.)
Rumours are already flying about Durante's expertise:
I did not do the entire work for this in 23 minutes. I developed an interception dll framework during this week to prepare for the job. I did the actual work to make the game render at higher res in that amount of time though -- based on the framework -- and spent a few more hours testing and adding the config file.
If you have a copy of Dark Souls for PC, which was released today, you might like to grab the internal rendering resolution fix, mirrored in our file library - or check out Durante's official source.
[…] though, out of the box, Dark Souls looks pretty awful, so you may need to apply a patch if you want to get any sort of enjoyment from the […]
I like video games and music and cups of tea and noodles and beagles and colour-cycling LEDs.

LATISSE™ (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is the first drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to promote eyelash growth.
Please contact us for a free consultation to learn if LATISSE ™ may be right for you!
Allergan, the maker of LATISSE™, states that based on clinical trials: LATISSE™ users can expect to experience longer, fuller, and darker eyelashes in as little as eight weeks, with full results in 16 weeks.
Lumigan™, a drug used to treat glaucoma, contains the same active agent as LATISSE™ and has long been known to promote longer, thicker, darker lashes. This fortunate side effect led Allergan to seek FDA approval for the cosmetic use of bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%. The story of the development of LATISSE™ is quite similar to the drug Rogaine™ — the active ingredient in Rogaine™, minoxildil, was being used in the treatment of hypertension when the unexpected side effect of regrowing scalp hair was discovered.
LATISSE™ is used differently than Lumigan™ as Lumigan™ is an eyedrop whereas LATISSE ™ is dabbed along the lash line directly.
How much does Latisse cost in Atlanta?
The price of Latisse usually ranges from $99 to $129 per box around the Atlanta area. Allergan frequently offers rebates and great promotions for Latisse. Be sure to check our specials page for current Latisse promotions. You can also sign up for Brilliant Distinctions, Allergan's patient rewards program, to earn points and get even more deals on Latisse, BOTOX®, and JUVÉDERM®.
How does LATISSE ™ work?
This is not yet fully understood, however, research suggests that the growth of eyelashes occurs by increasing the percent of hairs in and the duration of the anagen (or growth) phase. Lashes can grow longer, thicker and darker because bimatoprost can also prolong this growth phase.
Learn More About Latisse in Atlanta
We invite you to call our Atlanta plastic surgery center at 404-367-9005 for more information or to schedule a complimentary personal consultation.

Just received one of these from Sierra Trading Post:http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/,1977X_Crazy-Creek-Cradle-Lounger-Camping-Chair.htmlAt $35 it seems like a bargain compaired to the sling light chair ($90). I'm curious if it's just a sling light that has been rebranded as crazy creek. I've looked at all the sling light stuff on the web and this chair seems identical.
Sure looks like one. Where is Denis Hazelwood? He's the sling light expert.
I believe the Crazy Creek is made with permission of the original inventor- but it's slightly heavier. 4 ounces more per a post on another forum (23 vs. 19 oz). Crazy Creek was selling them on their website for something like $25 but I don't see them listed now.
Edited by jimqpublic on 01/11/2010 22:07:47 MST.
Ken,The definition of an expert is as follows: An ex is a has-been and spurt is just a drip under pressure.In '05 I stopped at the Crazy Creek HQ, in Red Lodge, Montana to pick up a fist full of catalogs for my summer workshop. I noticed that they offered a Crazy Creek version of the Sling-Light. It seems they probably got a license to build the chairs and sure enough REI had them on sale for about a year. REI hasn't had them in stock for some time now. I guess they didn't sell.The Crazy Creek version of the Sling-Light uses heavier tubing than the original. Don't know what they weigh.The Crazy Creek website doesn't show them any more but they're listed for sale at Target.com for $44.99.I believe the chairs from Freeform R & D are made one at a time in southern California. I talked to the owner years ago and he said he sold about three or four hundred a year, year in and year out, with no advertising.Manufactured since 1977 by FREEFORM R & D 1539 Monrovia Ave. Unit 23 Newport Beach, CA 92663Phone (949) 646-3217 Fax (949) 646-3218 Here is a photo of a group I was leading in 1995. Maybe the most Sling-Lights ever seen in one place outside the factory.
Edited by redleader on 01/11/2010 23:02:09 MST.
From what I remember when I looked at these a bit ago, the Crazy Creek were much heavier than the SlingLights.
Just weighed mine: 25 oz. Slinglight website indicates 22 oz for theirs (18 oz chair plus 4 oz head rest. So if the sling light chair weight is to spec the crazy creek one is 3 oz heavier.
Edited by DanG on 01/12/2010 08:30:48 MST.
On sale at STP for $27.96
These are also on special at crazycreek.com for $20 + shipping (about $10 for me)...https://www.crazycreek.com/product/specials/66/

Wine-ology: Use care in storing your wine
Proper wine storage becomes an important issue when you are keeping wines for the long term. If, however, you typically drink your wines within a month or so of purchase, the storage environment is less critical, but certain basic rules should be followed.
For long- or short-term storage, the conditions that destroy wine are extreme temperature and humidity. Rooms or storage areas with these conditions must be avoided.
This means not keeping the wines in an area where the ambient temperature consistently reaches above 70 degrees or dips below 45. Ideally, and especially for long-term keeping of quality wines, the temperature range should be narrowed to 50 to 60 degrees, for both red and white wines.
Failing to keep wine within these limits will either accelerate the aging (from high-temperature conditions) or slow the aging (from too-cold conditions), and degrade its character and balance.
In addition, wines must not be subjected to a wide swing in temperatures, more than 10 degrees in short periods of time.
Gradual increases or decreases in temperature, such as when the seasons change, will not do any harm.
A wine will also be affected somewhat by a storage area's humidity. The perfect level is around 75 percent humidity. When a wine storage room reaches around 85 percent, the risk of mold on corks and bottle labels is increased.
Humidity levels below 50 percent will increase the risk of wine evaporating and oxygen entering the bottle.
Remember that storing bottles on their sides will keep wine in contact with the cork and ensure that it remains moist.
A dry cork will become brittle and eventually allow air to get to the wine, which also will ruin the quality of the wine.
If you are a relatively serious wine collector, you may want to consider a wine storage unit that works similar to a normal refrigerator. The difference is in the wine storage unit's precise control of a proper storage temperature and humidity, in addition to having a vibration-damping design.
A normal refrigerator's motor will cause vibrations that will harm very old wines that contain sediment. Wine storage units come in a wide variety of sizes and will have bottle shelves or drawers for holding as few as 24 bottles or as many as 2,000 bottles or more.
In California, where basements are rare, the wine storage unit is a necessity for keeping valuable wines. If you have a basement that has fairly consistent temperature and humidity throughout the year, you have a low-cost, convenient storage facility.
Always keep wines in a dark storage area, as sunlight and, to a lesser extent, fluorescent light will harm wines.
