Swadlincote business picks 2013 charity
Posted: February 22, 2013|
A SOUTH Derbyshire business has chosen a Staffordshire hospice as its main charitable cause for 2013.
Door distributer JB Kind, based in Hearthcote Road, Swadlincote, will donate thousands of pounds to St Giles Hospice, in Whittington.
Last year the business donated £6000 to charity, including the Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance and Macmillan Cancer Support.
JB Kind's managing director James Cadman said: "St Giles Hospice was chosen because of the vital and inspiring work that it undertakes to support people with serious illnesses.
"St Giles has an excellent ethos of care and the services that they provide to individuals and their families are crucial.
"St Giles needs £22,000 every day in order to provide care to all that require it, and without donations people in need would have nowhere to turn."
Helen Relihan, head of fundraising for St Giles Hospice, said: "Having the support of JB Kind means such a lot to everyone at the hospice as this year we celebrate our 30th anniversary.
"We are looking forward to seeing and hearing about their wacky fundraising events as they take place throughout the coming year."
Last year ten employees from JB Kind, which employs 45 people, parachuted from a plane cruising at 13,000 feet in a bid to raise money for charity.

This page contains all FAQ information found on the Provident Financial web site. Please click on the tabs below to read our General, Investor, Research and debate and Customer FAQs.
General FAQ
- What is home credit?
- Who takes home credit loans?
- Does home credit offer good value for money?
- How does the cost of home credit compare with the cost of other ways of borrowing small amounts of money?
- Why are the APRs so high?
- Would a legally imposed maximum interest rate help home credit customers?
- How do you make sure you lend responsibly?
- Is Provident Financial an ethical company?
What is home credit?
Provident home credit offers small, unsecured loans with affordable, flexible repayments. Loans are granted and repayments are collected each week in the customer's home by an agent. Most agents are women, often living in the communities they serve. Many are also former customers. Home credit provides customers with a simple, convenient, and transparent service. There are no hidden charges or late payment fees and the amount to be repaid will never increase.
Who takes home credit loans?
Our typical customers are from ordinary working families and want to borrow small amounts of money that they can pay back conveniently in small, regular amounts.
The majority of our customers are women. They are not always the main breadwinners, but they often control the household budget. The breadwinners in these households are more likely to be hourly-paid or have part-time or casual work than be in full-time salaried employment. Less than half of our customers are in receipt of non-universal benefits.
Does home credit offer good value for money?
Home credit offers very good value for money when the small amount of money being lent, the home service and the fact that the total amount to be repaid cannot rise (even if the customer is late in repaying the loan) are taken into account.
How does the cost of home credit compare with the cost of other ways of borrowing small amounts of money?
Our charges are comparable with those of other types of small-sum credit such as credit cards and bank overdrafts. Although our APRs may appear higher, these types of lenders do not include administration and penalty charges in their APRs and so direct comparisons are misleading. Bank current accounts and credit cards impose charges when customers default, which can add considerably to the total cost of credit.
Home credit, on the other hand, includes all the charges up-front in its APR. This includes not just the interest rate but also the cost of the weekly visits to the customer's home and the cost of not imposing any default interest or charges. Comparing two different products – one of which includes all of the charges in its APR, the other which only includes the interest rate in its APR and leaves out other charges – is therefore like comparing apples with oranges.
When all of these other charges are taken into account, the cost of home credit compares favourably to other sources of small sum credit.
Why are the APRs so high?
Home credit APRs include costs that other lenders' products do not. Most lenders only include the interest charge in the APR, leaving out additional fees such as optional insurances, set-up charges, and penalties for late or missed repayments. Home credit, on the other hand, includes all the charges upfront in its APR. That includes the interest charge for the money, the charge for the weekly collections and the absolute guarantee that customers will not face extra or hidden charges, even if they are late in repaying their loan.
Furthermore, APR is not necessarily a good way to compare the cost of small-sum credit. In a study on affordable credit, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation noted, "APRs are a very poor way of comparing the cost of different loan products at this end of the market, largely because lenders differ markedly in the way that they structure their charges."
For further information, refer to Needs of lower income borrowers
Would a legally imposed maximum interest rate help home credit customers?
No, a legally imposed maximum interest rate would not help home credit customers. By restricting what lenders can charge, interest rate ceilings force lenders to be more selective in terms of whom they are able to accept for loans. Suppliers stop serving those customers – invariably the less well-off – who are higher-risk and only want small loans. In effect, the ceilings increase financial exclusion. Rather than helping consumers by making credit cheaper, interest rate ceilings would make credit less accessible and reduce consumer choice. This could lead consumers on low incomes who require short-term cash loans to borrow from illegal lenders.
For further information, refer to Price controls
How do you make sure you lend responsibly?
Because agents visit their customers each week, they know their circumstances and can judge their ability to take a loan and make repayments. Agents receive commission based on how much they collect, not how much they lend, so it is in their interest only to lend amounts that customers can afford to repay comfortably. And, because the money lent to customers is completely unsecured, there is no point in us lending more to customers than they can afford.
Is Provident Financial an ethical company?
Yes we are. We make sure we lend responsibly to our customers and always try to act as a good corporate citizen. We are included in the FTSE4Good index, the Business in the Community (BitC) index on CR and the Dow Jones World Sustainability Index. Visit our corporate responsibility section for more information.

For many entrepreneurs, business plans are a painful necessity, required only to satisfy bankers or investors. Not so for Caroline Sanchez Crozier, who won the Small Business Administration's Small Business Person of the Year award for Illinois. Crozier, owner of Computer Services & Consulting, a six-year-old $2-million Chicago company, believes that what matters about a business plan is "the process of analyzing the effectiveness of your financial and marketing strategies. The plan itself is outmoded by the time it's written."
Crozier learned the mechanics of the process from the Women's Business Development Center (WBDC) in Chicago, a support group whose approach to business plans is, to put it mildly, exhaustive. "Entrepreneurs should be able to answer highly technical financial questions and the broader marketing questions," explains Hedy Ratner, the WBDC's codirector. "They've got to know how much operating capital they need, be able to defend their pricing structures, understand their break-even points, and evaluate tax considerations, among other issues."
Most important, the WBDC urges entrepreneurs to respond to a "devil's advocate" business plan, which might ask how you can lower your break-even point or how long your competitors can cut prices. When you can answer tough questions like those, says Crozier, you're ready to succeed.* * *
No gender bias here: the WBDC's approach will work for guys, too. To order a copy of "The Business Plan: Planning for Business Success" (32 pages; $35), call the WBDC at 312-853-3477.* * *

Blades of Winter: A Novel of the Shadowstormby G. T. Almasi
View All Available Formats & Editions
In one of the most exciting debuts in years, G. T. Almasi has fused the intricate cat-and-mouse games of a John le Carré novel with the brash style of comic book superheroes to create a kick-ass alternate history that reimagines the Cold War as a clash of spies with biological, chemical, and technological enhancements.
In one of the most exciting debuts in years, G. T. Almasi has fused the intricate cat-and-mouse games of a John le Carré novel with the brash style of comic book superheroes to create a kick-ass alternate history that reimagines the Cold War as a clash of spies with biological, chemical, and technological enhancements.
Nineteen-year-old Alix Nico, a self-described "million-dollar murder machine," is a rising star in ExOps, a covert-action agency that aggressively shields the United States from its three great enemies: the Soviet Union, Greater Germany, and the Nationalist Republic of China. Rather than risk another all-out war, the four superpowers have poured their resources into creating superspies known as Levels.
Alix is one of the hottest young American Levels. That's no surprise: Her dad was America's top Level before he was captured and killed eight years ago. But when an impulsive decision explodes—literally—in her face, Alix uncovers a conspiracy that pushes her to her limits and could upset the global balance of power forever.
"Smart, sassy, and seriously appealing: a stunning debut."—Jeff Long, New York Times bestselling author of The Descent

Chapter 1
Thursday, May 1, 1:35 p.m. EST
Manhattan's Upper East Side, New York City, USA
Nothing pisses me off more than being shot at while I'm eating. It's the midday rush here in my new favorite restaurant, a cozy Hungarian joint on East 82nd Street. I'm jammed into a small table by the kitchen, with a Redskins cap pulled low over my face. The charming old dining room is packed, and the paneled walls echo the Eastern European barks of the broad, buxom waitresses as they dominate the good-humored customers. The food here is spectacular, but right now I'm kind of distracted by that bullet hurtling straight at my left eye.
Until this .22-caliber interruption, I was quietly noshing my yummy goulash. My unwitting target, an ugly little man named Hector, sits at his table across the room with some chick. It's not a very sexy mission. I'm just following this fucking jerk around. The brief said he was a former Russian Level, so I thought the job would be a lot more exciting than this. I did notice that he chews each bite of food exactly thirty-two times. Whoop-dee-doo.
At least it's a Level 12 Job Number. This'll be the highest-rated mission I've ever pulled, although it's not exactly mine. It was originally assigned to a coworker named Grey, but he called in sick this morning. The ExOps dispatcher is a total dingbat named Virgil, so it was a cinch to sucker—uh, I mean persuade—him to mix me up with my father and assign the mission to me. You'd think the fact that I'm a mid-five-foot, nineteen-year-old female Level 4 Interceptor named Alix would be a hint that I'm not a fortysomething Level 20 Liberator named Philip who's been dead for eight years. But who am I to correct a senator's son? If he's okay with putting me on a Job Number that's eight steps beyond my pay grade, I'm okay with it, too.
But back to that bullet flying my way. Five seconds ago, Hector stood up and put on his jacket to leave. Four seconds ago, I turned my head to look for my waitress. Three seconds ago, Hector's date plucked a small silver pistol out of her handbag. She's about my age and height but with dark hair and dark clothes, and she's suddenly wearing a pair of giant Jackie Onassis sunglasses. Two seconds ago, she pointed her puny gun at my face. One second ago, as this miniature Jackie-O chick pulled the trigger, I told my neuroinjector to get me ready to do some serious head stomping. As of this instant, I'm fully jacked on Madrenaline and time has slowed to a crawl.
The bullet has just emerged from Jackie-O's little fashion accessory, so I've got time to pull out my larger and much more impressive black pistol. It's a Lion Ballistics LB-505. I inherited this gun from my father, who spent a lot of time fiddling with the onboard artificial intelligence. After a particularly successful tinkering session he nicknamed her Li'l Bertha. I communicate with Li'l Bertha through the raised neural contact pad on her grip that snaps into a matching recess built into the palm of my left hand.
Like every pistol from Lion Ballistics, my LB-505 is built around the patented radar-assisted gyroscopic aiming system that made this company the Harley-Davidson of hard-core gun nuts everywhere. The AI transparently manages all the techno crap and feeds real-time target information to my Eyes-Up display.
One of the 505's coolest capabilities is that it can change caliber on the fly. This feature is called Multi Caliber, and it allows me to reduce my competitors to one or more meat piles, depending on what size bullets I select. As I take aim with my dad's gun, it scans Jackie-O to see if she's wearing any kind of armor and pops the ammunition selector into a corner of my field of vision:
Select Ammo Type:
1. Standard
2. Explosive
3. Armor-Piercing
4. Incendiary
5. Pupu Platter
The scan of Jackie-O returns "null." There are so many goddamn people in here, the scanner can't isolate my target. Okay, fine. I tell Li'l Bertha to use .30-caliber Incendiaries. I've been taught that whether they're armored or not, nothing distracts the competition more than setting them on fire.
Jackie-O's bullet is halfway here. This isn't my first time being shot at, but it still makes my hands begin to tremble while my stomach knots up. My neuroinjector senses my anxiety and squirts a dose of Kalmers into my bloodstream. I change my mind about the ammo and decide to precede the Incendiary rounds with two .50-caliber Explosive slugs. I need to move this crowd out of the way so that the Incendiaries can work their subtle magic.
Christ, her bullet is so close that I can see its rotation! I've spent too much time putzing around with my gun. I hold my head still while my retinal cameras photograph this little chickie for posterity, then I dodge to the side. The bullet sizzles across the skin of my left cheekbone as I pump two Explosive shots into the ceiling above Jackie-O. This distracts her with falling debris and gets all the others to duck under their tables. Now she's totally exposed, so I mash down the trigger and unload my Incendiaries on her.
My flaming bullet fog hits her so hard that she doesn't even have a chance to be torn to bits. She simply goes up in a white cloud of smoke that fills the whole dining room. It's like the girl was never there. Her vanishing act (and perhaps all the noise, fumes, and fire) has scared the shit out of everybody, and they all start screaming their heads off. The smoke is so thick, I can't even see my table in front of me. I switch on my infrared vision just in time to spot Hector as he follows a group of terrified patrons out the front door. I charge after him and switch my infrared off as I storm into the bright sunshine outside.
As Hector escapes up the block, the street erupts in gunfire. Damn it! I was so smug about roasting Jackie-O with my full-auto bulletgasm that I've stumbled into her backup team.
A cloud of bullets and one rocket-propelled grenade streak toward me. I leap in the air as the grenade hits the sidewalk and detonates. The concussion kicks me up three stories. My cap flies off, and I crash through a window as the front of my ex-favorite New York eatery goes up in smoke. I hope their insurance covers them for an attack of the killer spies from Psychoville.
I land on all fours in a small bedroom. The floor dances under me while the maniacs outside pulverize the walls and windows and generally shoot the shit out of the apartment. The air is full of flying metal, wood splinters, and shards of glass. Plaster dust grinds in my teeth, and smoke burns my throat. I roll into the hall and then run up the fire stairs. As I burst onto the roof, the sound of a helicopter thuds through the air. This is a solo mission, so I know the air support isn't for me. I arm and drop my electromagnetic pulse grenade, then I jump through an open window across the back alley and land in a bathtub. The EMP grenade will roast the electronics of anything in its blast radius, so I take my Mods and Enhances offline while Li'l Bertha shuts down to protect herself.
A black, nasty-looking little chopper soars over the roof across the alley as I trigger my EMP. The electrofried aircraft careens out of control and smacks into the building. The helicopter-shaped paperweight drops out of my sight, so I don't see the result, but I sure as hell hear and feel it. The explosions and squeals of terror are both particularly satisfying.
My hands start shaking again. The Kalmers have faded out of my bloodstream. Kalmers don't eliminate reactions to stress and fear; they simply suppress them. Once they wear off, you can be hit by what Med-Techs call emotional recoil. My mouth dries out, my lungs gulp for air, and my legs squeeze together to keep me from peeing my pants. I curl up into a ball and ride it out. After a few minutes I'm done crying and shaking. I lurch out of the tub, scram the apartment, and climb the stairs to the top of the building. My new knees let me rooftop jump all the way to 60th Street, where I slide down a fire escape and catch a taxi to the Village.

Local Girl Dazzles at the Gymnastics National Championships

Nico is already considered a favorite to win gold at the Montreal Olympics. She is training at the Roosevelt Gymnastics Center in Washington, D.C., under the supervision of her coach Tasha Dovetsky.

Finding and prioritising the sheer volume of network's vulnerabilities, and then ensuring that they are fixed, is a nearly impossible task that can leave your organisation exposed. Implementing vulnerability management solutions to discover and assess vulnerabilities, and maintain system configurations will ensure secure environments, saving you time and money. Without an effective vulnerability management solution, your organisation will always be at risk.
MTI is a leader in providing vulnerability management solutions that enable companies to effectively manage the entire vulnerability lifecycle. Working with leading vendor technologies, MTI can help companies consolidate vulnerability and remediation data with centralized policy enforcement and compliance reporting across the entire network.
According to Gartner Research, over 90% of cyber attacks exploit known security flaws for which remediation is available. Therefore effective vulnerability and patch management should be on every company's to-do list. However, in today's economy, organisations are forced to maintain a secure IT environment while keeping operating costs low.
MTI understand this creates a challenge for enterprises, especially in light of an increasing number of remote employees who reduce the organisation's visibility into the network and control over the devices that are brought in and out of the environment. MTI provide solutions that deliver the right balance between effectively addressing network security and the constantly changing environment while keeping a low total cost of ownership.
MTI's core security expertise is based on over 15 years experience delivering Vulnerability Management solutions to thousands of clients addressing all IT security issues.

Day 14: New Ideas
I decided to clear out my bookshelf and make room for some new ideas. I put a few of my favorite books in a bin, kept some out that I refer to often, but let go of several others.
I have a thing about Henry the VIII. I love all books about his reign and his wives and listen to the books on tape in the car. I will donate them to my son's school and if I want to re-listen. I will check them out. Some other books went to the local library.
**UPDATE: I was canceling catalogues on day 3 (Highlighted). I wrote that I was going to let my Yoga Journal subscription run out and not renew. Well, today I got a new Yoga Journal subscription as a gift. I am contemplating canceling the car insurance on my 7 year old car. Lets see what comes back.
"Holding on to old books doesn't allow you to create space for new ideas and ways of thinking….you can become set in your ways and develop musty energy like the musty old books you surround yourself with." Karen Kingston (Creating Sacred Space)
Feng Shui says; It is okay to have a few books in your bedroom but not too many and not in a messy pile. Clear out your room. Make it a quiet place with just two or three books on hand.

I must admit, I find it difficult to part with many books! If I've really enjoyed a book, I often want to re-read although that may not happen for quite some time. I used to have a collection of old books as I quite like antiques and they fitted in with other things. However, I came to the conclusion one day that, along with other old things I had in the house, I was holding on to old energy and needed a clear out! Feng Shui is not something I've ever followed though there seems to be some sense to it….
Thank you for the article, it has helped me to not feel guilty in letting some of my books go forward…..

In Washington, a town known for bloviation rather than whimsy or wit, the wacky season is just about to begin.
Pregnancy rumors last month had the tweetosphere competing on wit.
To wit, earlier this fall, he endorsed Greg Brannon, a Republican primary candidate for Senate in North Carolina.
The remark "is totally going to lose him the Norman, Druid, Jute and Saracen vote," one wit commented.
Your character in wit seeks strength in the Holy Sonnets of John Donne, especially his Holy Sonnet 10, "Death Be Not Proud."
I have a wish to have wit and to reason about things with decent people.
It would be happy for you, and for every body else, were your obedience as ready as your wit.
There's great thoughts in that bit of twisted 'bacco there, if I only have the wit to trace 'em.
"I'll hold thee a guinea of that," said the wit, throwing the money on the table.
His work abounds in an ingenious and admirable mingling of wit and humor.
"mental capacity," Old English wit, more commonly gewit, from Proto-Germanic *witjan (cf. Old Saxon wit, Old Norse vit, Danish vid, Swedish vett, Old Frisian wit, Old High German wizzi "knowledge, understanding, intelligence, mind," German Witz "wit, witticism, joke," Gothic unwiti "ignorance"), from PIE *woid-/*weid-/*wid- "to see," metaphorically "to know" (see vision). Related to Old English witan "to know" (source of wit (v.)). Meaning "ability to make clever remarks in an amusing way" is first recorded 1540s; that of "person of wit or learning" is from late 15c. For nuances of usage, see humor.
A witty saying proves nothing. [Voltaire, Diner du Comte de Boulainvilliers]
Wit ought to be five or six degrees above the ideas that form the intelligence of an audience. [Stendhal, "Life of Henry Brulard"]
"know," Old English witan "to know," from Proto-Germanic *witanan "to have seen," hence "to know" (cf. Old Saxon witan, Old Norse vita, Old Frisian wita, Middle Dutch, Dutch weten, Old High German wizzan, German wissen, Gothic witan "to know"); see wit (n.). The phrase to wit, almost the only surviving use of the verb, is first recorded 1570s, from earlier that is to wit (mid-14c.), probably a loan-translation of Anglo-French cestasavoir, used to render Latin videlicet (see viz.).
noun phrase
A presumed list of things one wants: intent on buying every weapon the generals and admirals put on their wish lists

Honoring Women Leaders of the CSU
March 7, 2013
Recently, CSU San Marcos President Karen S. Haynes and Cal State Fullerton President Mildred García were commended for their commitment to advancing women in higher education.
On March 2, the American Council on Education honored CSUSM President Karen S. Haynes with the 2013 Donna Shavlik Award for her exemplary contributions to women in higher education and transforming CSUSM into a model environment for women.
The California Legislative Women's Caucus lauded President García for her accomplishments—including becoming the first Latina president at a CSU campus—during the "Breaking the Glass Ceiling" awards ceremony on March 4.
Along with Cal State Northridge President Dianne F. Harrison—whose appointment last year to the commission of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and her appointment by Governor Jerry Brown to the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education adds to an extensive list of service to higher education associations—the three sitting women presidents of the CSU serve as exemplary models for women leaders in higher education.

Many Television Stations and other media use hidden cameras to do exposé news reports all the time. These media outlets have a giant staff of attorneys. How is it OK for them to do that, and not OK for someone to take photos of food and post on a personal blog?
Journalists have the first amendment to protect them. A personal blog is not covered as of yet, but expect an eventual Supreme Court case.
Bloggers and journalists have different first amendment rights? I must have slept throught that development.

Affirmative Action
Affirmative Action/Equity & Diversity Statement
The University of Nebraska recruits and encourages individuals, regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, national origin or religious beliefs, as faculty, students, staff and administrators at this institution. We also believe certain groups in the American experience have been historically denied and placed at significant disadvantage to pursue economic and academic opportunities, through systemic and institutional gender and racial bias. Therefore we will consider this historical and current reality – in concert with other selection criteria – when considering applicants and employees for equal employment opportunities, and our diversity and equity initiatives.
In 1991, the Board of Regents established goals and strategies to enhance the recruitment and retention of women. In 1993, the Board of Regents established goals and strategies to enhance the recruitment and retention of minorities. Annual progress reports are presented to the Board by faculty and staff who comprise campus commissions on the status of women and campus diversity commissions. Campus-based initiatives provide a wealth of resources to students, faculty, staff and the community.

Speedwell Forge Bed and Breakfast This is a great place to stay. You can visit the sanctuary on off tour times and see the wolves on a more personal level. NO you don't get to go in and interact with them, but you can sit there and watch all day if you want.
Breakfast is made with your allergies and food restrictions in mind. Be sure to tell your Inn Keeper what you can and cannot have when you make your reservation.
We would like to give a special thanks to our friends at SaveSpeedwell.org.
For the last year, Save Speedwell has been searching for a practical and cost-efficient way to reuse the soil that will be excavated from the upper basin of Speedwell Forge Lake. The Wolf Sanctuary of PA had a real use for the soil. It makes a big difference at the sanctuary as we are always in need of good clean soil to maintain an excellent environment for the wolves.

LePage says he issued the civil emergency proclamation so he could have the flexibility to deal with any impacts the shutdown might have on state services and programs. The governor thanked state workers for their patience during the 16-day ordeal.
"I'm pleased that state government is back to normal and Mainers are back to work," LePage says in a statement. "I want to thank Maine state employees for their patience during these past couple weeks. This federal shutdown caused a tremendous amount of stress and uncertainty for everyone."
Under Maine law, the governor can declare a civil emergency in unusual situations. LePage says more than 2,700 state workers get paid, in part or in full, with federal funds.

STUDIO CITY (CBS) — The city of Los Angeles is fighting a growing problem with unlicensed pets.
It's estimated that fewer than one-third of dogs in the LA-area are licensed.
Not only does it mean lost revenue for the city, but could put the owner at a risk.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this week I would like to speak to you about a hair-raising issue: gray hair "down there."
It has come to my attention that hair in the area of the genitals (commonly known as pubic hair) is beginning to gray for some of us Aging Gals and Guys. I will admit that this is not yet a problem for yours truly. No, my predicament involves more the patches of desert on my scalp where hair once grew, but now refuses to bud. In fact, I've seriously considered transplanting bits of the robust curly cues from "down there" onto my head, but, as my head hair is straight and fine, I fear the mix would be not only noticeable, but disastrous. Sort of like the Titanic meeting up with the iceberg.
So back to you, my inquiring public. "What do we do about gray hair down there?" you ask.
Well, thank the lord for the miracle processes of the twenty-first century! From what I can see, options fall into two general categories: removal and coloring. Yes, coloring.
First, removal. This can come in the form of waxing (Men: Take notes from Steve Carell's chest hair waxing scene in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin." I don't know about you, but if I had balls and cared about their intactness, I'd pass on this one. Women: See the episode of "Sex and the City" where Sarah Jessica Parker gets ripped virtually naked by a Brazilian wax). Shaving is tactic number two for removal. (But beware of ingrown hairs. I can tell you from personal experience it is an ego buster to take your pus-infected twat into the dermatologist for a tweezing.) Perhaps the longest-lasting and most effective form of removal is via laser. But ask yourself if selling your car is worth it, because I figure the price of laser hair removal is equivalent to the value of the 2002 Isuzu I'm driving around.
Secondly, let's talk coloring. I had no idea! But in researching online, I found an article at About.com on "How to Color Gray Pubic Hair" with regular over-the-counter hair color. Perhaps my favorite parts of this commentary are where the author states (twice) "This is not recommended by health care/medical professionals." Well, yee-haw! Lighting my hoo-hoo on fire for forty-five minutes. Don't that sound like a Saturday night made in heaven?
Upon further investigation, I did find a hair-coloring product made specifically for our hidden grays: Betty — Color for the Hair Down There. The entrepreneur reveals that she came upon this idea while visiting a hair saloon in Rome and watching the colorist sneak a petite paper bag to certain clients for use at home. "For the hair down there… to make it match!" She realized there was no such product in the good old U.S. of A., and, viola!, now there is! These days anyone can be a "real" blonde or a "natural" redhead. Thanks, Betty!
So as the weather starts to warm up, and we begin to tackle Spring cleaning in our homes, let's also attempt a little Spring cleaning down there. Surprise your husband, wife, or significant other with a little weed whacking or touch-up coloring.
After all, who couldn't use a little sprucing up even in the nooks and crannies of our aging selves?

Case Assignment (Module 01)
TUI University
This paper describes the concepts of Comparative and Absolute Advantage. I will demonstrate the basic concepts of module to a classic model in economics by showing the USA and Canada in trade. This will be done by assuming there are only two goods in the economy; wheat and corn. I will also include how trade affects the production possibilities frontier and how other factors can expand the production possibilities frontier.
1.Explain the concepts of Comparative and Absolute Advantage. If there were only 2 goods in the economy: wheat and corn.
Canada 5 8
Opportunity cost represents the lost value, which is suffered as a result of choosing to produce one amount of a good over a given amount of the other. In this case, we assume that each party's ability is limited to the production of the listed quantities only. Every time the US will produce 4 units of wheat and 2 units of corn while Canada will produce 5 units of wheat and 8 units of corn. For every 1 unit of wheat the US produces, there is 0.5 unit of corn produced as well by the US. However, for every 1 unit of corn the US produces, there are 2 units of wheat produced as well. For every 1 unit of wheat Canada produces, there are 1.6 units of corn produced by Canada. And for every 1 unit of corn produced by Canada, there is 0.6 unit of wheat produced. According to these figures, the US is more efficient in the production of wheat while Canada is more efficient in the production of corn. Absolute advantage is an economic theory initially developed by Adam Smith in his "Wealth of Nations" book. He established that a party (person, country, company) has an absolute advantage over its competitor(s) if/ when the said party can produce greater outputs by using the same/ equal resources or inputs as its competitor(s). Looking at the given example, Canada produces 5 units...

In October 2006, the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of England asked Professor Sir John Tooke to chair a High Level Group on Clinical Effectiveness in response to the chapter 'Waste not, want not' in the CMOs 2005 annual report 'On the State of the Public Health'. The high level group made recommendations to the CMO to address possible ways forward to improve clinical effectiveness in the UK National Health Service (NHS) and promote clinical engagement to deliver this. The report contained a short section on research needs that emerged from the process of writing the report, but in order to more fully identify the relevant research agenda Professor Sir John Tooke asked Professor Martin Eccles to convene an expert group – the Clinical Effectiveness Research Agenda Group (CERAG) – to define the research agenda. The CERAG's terms of reference were 'to further elaborate the research agenda in relation to pursuing clinically effective practice within the (UK) National Health Service'. This editorial presents the summary of the CERAG report and recommendations.

Barge hits Miss. River bridge; oil cleanup ongoing
CORRECTS DATE TO JAN. 28, NOT JAN. 18 – The towboat Natures Way Endeavor, background, banks a barge against the western bank of the Mississippi River, Monday, Jan. 28, 2013. Cleanup crews with booms skimmed oily water from the Mississippi River Monday, a day after a barge with more than 80,000 gallons of oil struck a railroad bridge near Vicksburg, spreading a sheen of light crude that kept part of the waterway shut to ship traffic Monday, authorities said. (AP Photo/Eli Baylis)
VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) — Experts say the stretch of Mississippi River where vessel traffic was halted after a barge hit a railroad bridge on Sunday is one of the most dangerous along the 2,500-mile-long river.
Late Monday, cleanup crews were skimming oily water near Vicksburg, a day after a barge struck a bridge, rupturing a compartment holding 80,000 gallons of oil.
Authorities said that the oil was being contained and there was no evidence of it washing ashore downriver. Orange boom was stretched across part of the river downstream from the barge, and small boats patrolled the area as oil was pumped from the ruptured tank into another tank on the same barge. Officials hope to eventually transfer all the oil to another barge.
Tugs were holding the barge at the bank on the Louisiana side of the river, directly across from Vicksburg's Riverwalk and Lady Luck casinos.
Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Ryan Gomez said a tug was pushing two tank barges when the collision Login to read more

I swear, it almost seems as though Rockstar is trying to get every video game site which talks about them banned from workplace, school, and library computers by proxy, just for mentioning their games. Then again, I don't know exactly how such filters work (if I did, then I couldn't very well do my job, could I?), so I'm not sure how welcome a title like "The Lost and Damned" in those situations, and I'm even less sure about their latest GTAIV downloadable episode for the Xbox 360, "The Ballad of Gay Tony." Indeed, this Fall will mark the release of GTAIV's second Xbox 360 exclusive episode, which is described as follows: "As Luis Lopez, part-time hoodlum and full-time assistant to legendary nightclub impresario Tony Prince (aka "Gay Tony"), players will struggle with the competing loyalties of family and friends, and with the uncertainty about who is real and who is fake in a world in which everyone has a price."

One of the more impressive features of the PlayStation 3 which was touted early on by Sony was the ability to play games ad-hoc on the PSP. Unfortunately, we haven't really seen much else of it until today, when Sony announced that in addition to the program's launch with Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, 32 more titles have been confirmed to work with it. In addition, there have been other titles which "unofficially" work with it as well.

It's reaching a point where I can't figure out if some of these people who commit crimes are either really stupid, or really clever.A teenager who torched three cars in Lyon, France, told police he was wanted to imitate scenes from the Grand Theft Auto video game. The 13-year-old schoolboy used petrol to set light to three vehicles after playing on the violent GTA 4: Liberty City game on his home PC.Ok, before we go on, wait just a second. Last I checked, GTA IV wasn't available for PC yet... and didn't have a subtitle. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but "Liberty City" isn't a subtitle for any other entry in the series either, is it? I remember Vice City, San Andreas... oh, right, there was Liberty City Stories for the PSP, right? But was that on PC? Is this coming off as the least bit suspicious yet?The game awards points creating as much as crime and destruction as possible in a city.I thought they tried to kill your ass dead, the more crimes you commit and stuff you destroy.A Lyon police spokesman said: 'He said he played the game for a few hours, then wanted to go out and what it felt like to burn out some cars. 'This kind of entertainment is clearly having a negative effect on some young people.' The boy, who can not be named for legal reasons, is set to appear before a youth court charged with criminal damage. -- Daily MailFunny, I don't remember being so stupid at 13. I think he's just playing the system to cover his anarchic little tracks. One would think a police officer might be smarter; that kind of talk is for the kid's lawyer to spew.

from Private Sellers
Gone Girlby Flynn, Gillian
Thorndike Pr
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the Large edition with a publication date of 9/26/2012.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
Flynn's toxic mix of sharp-edged wit with deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds readers at every turn. When his wife disappears on their anniversary, Nick starts having cringe-worthy daydreams and becomes oddly evasive, eschewing his golden boy past.
