Searching for your dream wedding dress can be both fun and stressful. Here are some tips to make shopping for your dress an enjoyable and memorable experience.
- Choose your entourage wisely.
Every bride wants to be surrounded by friends and family who will be encouraging and honest, but too many people can lead to too many opinions. When picking your entourage, try to pick perceptive companions who will pay attention to your reaction to the dress before voicing their opinions. There is nothing worse than falling in love with a dress and having someone proclaim their disdain for it. Also, limiting access will heighten anticipation. Everyone wants to know what the dress looks like, why not leave it to people's imagination?
- Bring pictures.
If you have dresses that you're in love with, bring pictures of them. This helps your bridal consultant narrow down what style(s) you may like. If the salon carries any of the dresses in your pictures it allows you to try them on immediately instead of attempting to describe the dress.
- Stick to your budget.
Most websites do not advertise price. Be sure to verify that your pictured dresses are in your price range before they pull them. If a dress is out of your budget, the pictures will help your bridal consultant get a feel for the materials, silhouettes, and details you love. Try hard to only try on dresses that are within your budget. Once you fall in love with a dress, nothing will compare.
- Be wary of dress overload.
It's easy to walk into a salon and have the urge to try on every dress they have. Experienced dress shop attendants can most likely help you find the ones that are best suited for your figure and budget. Keep in mind, that after about 15 dresses, it is easy to forget what the first 5 looked like. The process can be overwhelming, but don't let all the options stress you out and call it a day when the dresses start looking the same.
- Space out your salon appointments.
Bridal salons can not foresee how punctual their customers are going to be. If the first appointment of the day is 20 minutes late, your appointment may be delayed. Scheduling back to back appointments might lead to a stressful day. Try to space out your appointments with a minimum of 3 hour time gaps in between or better yet, schedule them on different days.
- Bring water and snacks.
If you are going to power through multiple appointments in one day, you more than likely will be missing meals. The last thing you want is to run out of energy mid appointment. You will be surprised how heavy and exhausting it is to lift, zip, tie or button up a wedding dress for the 30th time in one day. Keep water handy to stay hydrated and don't forget to nibble on snacks in-between appointments.
- Bring heels (and a bra too!).
Bringing a pair of heels allows you to get the added length the dress design was made for to take your breath away. You may not yet have the heels you will be wearing on your wedding at the time you try on dresses, but any heels will do. If you plan on wearing flip flops instead, bring a pair of those. This way you can see what the dress is going to look like and how it will feel in that height of heel. This is also a great time to invest in a strapless bra. The right underpinnings can dramatically change the way a dress shapes up on your body. Spanx are great too. Whatever you think you might be pulling on to pull it off should be in your bag when you are at the shop!
- Trust your gut.
Not every bride gets emotional when they find THE dress, you may find that you keep going back to one particular dress, but aren't quite sure. More than likely, that is the one. If you are concerned that you aren't making the right choice, take down all the information needed to purchase the dress and spend some time away. If it's still on your mind after a good night's sleep is a good sign that you've found the one.
Dresses are like partners, when you find one you love, there is no reason to keep looking.
If you love it, you found it, stop looking and buy it!
Good Luck and Happy Planning!!

Don't know if anyone is interested but I just read about an encryption app for X that you can download at the following URL: http://homepage.mac.com/jhammer/cy/. I know this kind of stuff is sort of useless, but if you've got the plans to rob Fort Knox on your HD, you might want to get it anyway. :)

Scratching my head…
I've seen these blog things for a few weeks, and tonight I finally peeked into a couple. Intrigued, I figured it would be fun to have one myself and hope that it would help hone my writing skills. However, when it came to do this first post, I was stumped as to what to write about.
Leave it to my 10-month old labrador to fill my head with all kinds of inspiration.
I don't think you'll ever see a dog more excited than when he's about to be fed. I went into the hallway to slowly stirred Rocco from his nap…he stretched and started licking my face to say hello. I petted him and asked him if he wanted some "yummies." All signs of tiredness were gone and his eyes and ears immediately perked up. I again asked if he was "hungries." (Another funny word from our dog vocabulary). He bounded down the stairs for the garage where he knew the bag of food was waiting.
But it's when he's running back to his food bowl that I smile the most. His tail is wagging and is there's a bounce in his step. He gives me a glance then slides his legs back to collapse in a "lay down." He watches my every inch as I move to lay down the food. He watches as I being to mouth "leeetttt'sss goooo" and he leaps to his feet and gobbles the food down in one minute flat. This is played over day over day and I never stop smiling.

Kathryn Bigelow and Tom Hardy are teaming up for "The True American,' a dramatic true story set in post-9/11 America.
Oscar winning director Bigelow has partnered with Annapurna Pictures to direct and produce the project through her production arm First Light with Hardy set to star. Hardy has been earning rave reviews recently for his one-man-film "Locke," the suspenseful thriller that takes place entirely in a moving car. Annapurna's Megan Ellison and Matthew Budman, who co-produced Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" are on board as Producer and Executive Producer.
READ MORE: Tom Hardy and Steven Knight Explain How They Pulled 'Locke' Off
"The True American" is set in the angry, charged days after the 9/11 attacks. A self-proclaimed "American Terrorist" named Mark Stroman murders two immigrants in Texas. His third victim, Raisuddin Bhuiyan, a Bagladesh Air Force Veteran, survives, however, and their two lives collide in unexpected ways.
The film is based on the book "True American: Murder & Mercy in Texas" by New York Times journalist Anand Giridharadas which was released earlier this month. As per usual with books that are predicted to be bestsellers, the films rights were snatched up relatively quickly by Ellison and her team.

Tomm Moore follows up his Oscar-nominated The Secret of Kells with another hand-drawn Irish folktale from Cartoon Saloon: Song of the Sea (opening this autumn through Gkids), and we have the first interview and teaser trailer. It's about the Selkies, mythological creatures that are part seal, part human, and it's set in 1987, a transitional period for both Ireland and its youthful protagonists.
So tell me about your interest in the Selkies and how you've made an animated movie about them.
I had heard plenty of Selkie stories growing up and had seen The Secret of Roan Inish but had not really thought about doing anything with those legends until I spent some time with my family in Dingle on the west coast of Ireland several years ago during the pre-production of The Secret of Kells.My son was 10 at the time and while sketching on the beach together he noticed something rather disturbing -- a dead seal floating on the surf.
We asked the woman we rented our holiday cottage from about it and she said that young fishermen in the locality had taken to killing seals, blaming them for the drop in fish stocks -- which is of course crazy, as it's human over fishing that's killing the industry.
She said years ago that no fisherman would dare harm a seal as there was a widespread believe in Selkies -- people who could transform from seal to human form and also a belief that seals could contain the souls of those lost at sea. I began to think about how the old stories served us well in protecting what is truly valuable and important and how by losing these stories we are losing a lot more than just folklore.
When I got back to the studio I was talking about all this to my friend Ross Stewart, who was art director on The Secret of Kells. He lent me a book called The People of the Sea, which was full of stories of Selkies from Ireland and Scotland. Since there was no place in Secret of Kells to properly explore this mythology and these themes, I began to dream up a story about a Selkie and the way we lost so much of our folk wisdom to the modern world.
What's it about and why did you set it in 1987?
It's the story of Saoirse, the last Selkie child, and her brother Ben. When their mother disappears they are sent away to live with their grandmother in the city. But on Halloween night they decide to sneak away to get back home to their lighthouse by the sea. On their journey they encounter the forgotten creatures of a fading folklore, and discover that Saoirses song is the key to their survival; however, Saoirse cannot sing or even speak without her Selkie coat, which their father has taken from her for fear of losing her like their mother before her. So it becomes a sort of race against time to reunite her with her coat and save the fairyfolk.
I set it in 1987 because I was 10-years-old then and it's the time I imagine it as being the transition time in Ireland when the old ways were fading just before the coming of "the Celtic tiger" and all that.
I've read you make comparisons to Into the West, My Neighbor Totoro, The Jungle Book, Y.B. Yeats, and modern-day Seanachai.
Well, it's just a blend of all those influences and more -- I loved the themes and adventure in Into the West and wanted to capture some of the whimsy and the insight into Japanese culture at a very specific time and place in Totoro. Jungle Book was a childhood favorite and I wanted to make a film with music that children could really enjoy and sing along with on repeat viewings. Yeats had a very romantic and melancholy sense of the fading of the old beliefs in Ireland that I was also inspired by. Finally, I had always admired Eddie Lenihan, who continued the tradition of the Seanachai or storyteller -- he used to be on TV when I was a kid telling stories he had collected from old people and he continues to keep the tradition alive to this day. He even saved a fairy tree from a modern motorway in recent years.
Working together with Adrien Merigeau, the art director, we evolved a new style that of course grew out of The Secret of Kells and the general sensibilities in Cartoon Saloon. Adrien was one of the lead background artists on The Secret of Kells and also made a short film with us in Cartoon Saloon, Old Fangs. He worked with me from before we even had a final script helping to create the atmosphere, and the look of the film while I worked on the script with Will Collins and the earliest storyboards. I think it's an appropriate mash-up of traditional media like pencil and watercolor and modern computer techniques.
For the characters, I worked mostly alone at first, basing them on many of my family members (in particular the main character Ben was based on my own son, also called Ben). Then Marie Thorhauge helped to pull all my sketches together into a final line up and helped to shape the final look of the characters. We were later joined by Sandra Anderson, Sean McCarron, and Rosa Ballester Cabo, who helped with model sheets and additional character designs.
For the characters, we tried to soften up the geometry from The Secret of Kells and think in a slightly more three dimensional way to allow for more soft and fluid animation and we also developed a secondary style in the film, which is more soft and "watercolory" for certain scenes, using a rough pencil line and a torn paper edge. I think since we worked again with so many animators who knew our style and since we were going for a more organic and full approach to the animation that it went a lot smoother than Kells with less of a ramp up time for the animators. Fabian Erlinghauser, who was animation supervisor on Kells, was again in charge of animation and posing and he helped the newcomers to the "Saloon style" get up to speed quickly.
Tell me more about the animation.
The animation was done primarily in Tv Paint with some vehicles and effects done in Anime Studio pro and Blender. We made the posing here in Kilkenny with a small team of some new friends and many old friends from The Secret of Kells and other Saloon productions, then the animation was split between here in Cartoon Saloon, Noerlum in Denmark, and Studio 352 in Luxembourg. Both Noerlum and Studio 352 had excellent teams of animators and assistant animators, many of whom we had worked with before in the Saloon or whose work we had long admired. It was a pleasure to work with those teams.We even managed a couple of research trips to the west coast with some of the supervisors early in production.
We also found Tv Paint allowed for us to go faster to a first pose test and use some shortcuts at clean up and inbetween stage to allow us to have fuller animation with even higher quotas than on Kells. I know it wasn't always easy for the teams but I feel we have achieved a very warm and full style of animation this time with lots of personality and fluidity even on our limited budget and short schedule.
Everything was pulled together by Digital Graphics in Belgium, who handled ink and paint, compositing, and digital effects, just as they did for many key sequences on The Secret of Kells. Again, it was a pleasure to work with old friends, and Serge Ume and his team had been involved since the very earliest development days; they were the ones who comped the trailer we made in 2009.
The music is a really important part of this film and we got to work again with Bruno Coulais and Kila as well as the singer Lisa Hannigan. Everyone already knew each other which helped a lot and Bruno and Kila were involved from even before we started storyboarding. It was an amazing ongoing collaborative process throughout the production and in the end the score combines traditional Irish music with an orchestral score.
Talk about your great ensemble cast: David Rawle, Brendan Gleeson, and Fionnula Flanagan.
I was delighted to be able to work with my first choice for the characters in every instance. David Rawle is the talented lead actor in the TV series MooneBoy, which we create the animation for and he really has a huge role in that his character is in almost every scene. Luckily, he is a very talented young man.
Brendan Gleeson and Fionnula Flanagan also signed on early and we were able to develop their characters with them in mind, both brought an amazing wealth of experience and professionalism to the parts. Brendan had played Abbot Cellach in The Secret of Kells and we were delighted he was willing to play the children's father Conor in the film. Both he and Fionnula brought a lot of depth and insight to their roles that caused us to tweak some elements of their characters before going to animation.
Lisa Hannigan is more well known as a singer but she also played a speaking role in the film. I was also lucky to get to work with some of my favorite comedy actors -- Jon Kenny and Pat Short who were very well known in Ireland as a comedy duo but who have since gone on to more dramatic roles in feature films. We also had Liam Hourigan, another great actor who played a few parts in The Secret of Kells. Lucy O' Connell, a little girl from Kilkenny, played Saoirse. In keeping with the family feeling of the film, my 5-year-old nephew, Kevin, played an important role as well.
We really worked hard to make this film a family film with a special appeal to young audiences, testing it with children at every stage of development. I have been reassured after each screening that we are going in the right direction and I look forward to sharing the completed film with audiences later this year. Hopefully with the teaser trailer we can start to build some online buzz this summer as we build up to the premiere in the autumn.

Former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad on Monday suffered a major blow when a special CBI court convicted him in a 17-year-old fodder scam case that disqualifies him from Parliament and will keep him out of electoral arena for at least six years.
Also convicted was a sitting JD(U) MP from Jahanabad Jagadish Sharma, who becomes the third MP to be disqualified in the wake of a Supreme Court judgement striking down a provision in the electoral law that deferred immediate disqualification of lawmakers on conviction.
Less than a fortnight ago, former Union health minister and sitting Rajya Sabha member Rasheed Masood was convicted in a corruption case and faces disqualification.
Another 43 accused, including former Bihar chief minister Jagannath Mishra, five politicians and four IAS officers, were also convicted by the court of Pravas Kumar Singh for fraudulent withdrawal of R37.7 crore from Chaibasa treasury.
The court fixed October three for pronouncement of sentence against Yadav, Mishra and others.
While BJP and JD(U), rivals of RJD in Bihar, welcomed the judgement, its ally Congress merely said the law has taken its course. JD(U) leader and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, a one time associate of Lalu, declined to comment on the judgement.
The RJD said they would challenge the judgement while party leaders said they would discuss the strategy to steer the party in the absence of Prasad.
Accompanied by his son Tejaswi to the court, 65-year-old Prasad declined to react to the judgement. He appeared calm while his car sped away to the Birsa Munda Central Jail located on the outskirts of Ranchi straight from the court.
The court sentenced IAS officer K Arumugam, former Bihar AHD and Labour Minister Vidya Sagar Nishad and former MLA Dhruv Bhagat and five fodder suppliers for up to three years.
Earlier, Prasad, who arrived in the court by a white Ambassador car, appeared relaxed and waved to his party supporters. He sat in the second row in the court room as the
judge began reading out the judgement against him.
The RJD chief, elected from Saran in Bihar and Sharma face immediate disqualification as Lok Sabha members under a recent Supreme Court order that an MP or MLA would stand disqualified immediately if convicted by a court for crimes with punishment of two years or more and under some other laws even without jail sentence.
The July judgement of the Supreme Court struck down a provision in the electoral law that provided

Structure of the Heart Valves (Anatomy of the Heart Valves)
The efficiency of the heart as a pump depends not only on the force of its contractions but also on the correct functioning of its four valves. The valves are subject to a variety of disorders most commonly the failure to open or close properly. A serious valve disorder can have a progressively debilitating effect that can ultimately be fatal unless surgery is performed to correct the problem.
The heart has four valves. Two of them are situated between the upper and lower chambers (atrium and ventricle) on each side of the heart, the tricuspid valve on the right and the mitral valve on the left. The other two lie at the exit of each ventricle into the two large arteries carrying blood from the heart, the pulmonary valve at the exit from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery, and the aortic valve at the exit from the left ventricle into the aorta.
The valves allow blood to pass into and out of the heart chambers in one direction only, with no backflow of blood. They consist of cupped, or bowl shaped, segments called cusps. When blood is moving in the right direction, the cusps separate widely; when blood tries to move in the opposite direction, the cusps close tightly and form a watertight seal.
When the ventricles contract, the pulmonary and aortic valves open to let blood out of the heart. Between heartbeats, the ventricles relax and the aortic and pulmonary valves close. The tricuspid and mitral valves then open to allow blood to pass into the heart from the body tissues and lungs. To summarize:
The opening and closing of the valves is brought about by movement of blood and by constantly changing differences in pressure on either side of the valves. The mitral and tricuspid valves are subject to considerable pressure when the powerful lower chambers (ventricles) contract. To prevent the cusps of the valves from ballooning upward into the atria under this pressure, they are connected by strong fibrous cords (called chordae tendineae) to short, fingerlike muscles (called papillary muscles) rising from the floors of the ventricles. The papillary muscles contract and tense the cords when the valves close.
The aortic and pulmonary valves, which are smaller and have more rigid cusps than the other two valves, are less liable to be pushed backward out of position under pressure so they do not require the same fastening mechanism.
Valve disorders fall into two principal groups. The first includes disorders in which a valve is narrowed or fails to open properly, obstructing the forward flow of blood. This is called stenosis, and usually occurs when the affected valves have become inflamed or calcified. It may also occur as a congenital defect.
The second group of valve disorders includes those in which the valves fail to close properly, causing a backward leakage, or regurgitation, of blood. These valves are called incompetent or insufficient. Backward leakage of blood may result from coronary heart disease, from rheumatic heart disease, or from bacterial endocarditis.
Of the four valves, those on the left side of the heart, the aortic and mitral valves,are more commonly affected by disorders because the more powerful contractions of the left ventricle place a greater strain on these two valves.

Live from Social Media Week: The Suxorz picks the worst social media moves of 2010

There's no shortage of organizations looking to hand out awards for the best social media campaigns, but they are only half the story. Every Oscar needs a Razzy to balance it out. We must punish failure as well as praise excellence. Or, at least, that was the mood at the fourth annual Suxorz Awards event at Social Media Week on Thursday night.
The evening's panel of marketing experts was filled by Jessica Amason, Brian Clark, Brian Morrissey and BL Ochman and was moderated by Henry Copeland. Each panelist put forth a nominee for each of four categories. After all the panelists had explained why they were nominating a particular social media action, Copeland turned the discussion over to the crowd, letting them vote on the worst of the lot.
Afterward, the floor was opened up to people's choice nominations, and the winner of that round was put up against the winners of previous rounds for a vote on who had the worst social media moment of the past 12 months. No statues were given out, but the Grand Suxorz "winner" did receive a mocking post on their Facebook wall written by the panelists.
Here are campaigns that ended up winning their respective categories:
Meme Purgatory: This category was all about brands thinking they understood how to start or control a viral phenomenon. The nominees were Dell's "Dr. Ashley" campaign, Volkswagen's "Sluggy Patterson" character, Cisco's "Ted from Accounting" videos and Smirnoff Ice's handling of the "Bros Icing Bros" phenomenon. Cisco handily won this category for its series of videos, which ape the style but not the humor value of the popular Old Spice Guy campaign, after the audience begged the panel to stop the Ted video early.
Missed Connections: These nominees were for companies that tried using social media but got the fundamentals wrong. The nominees included a Facebook campaign to bring Starbucks to Budapest, Hungary, that was later taken over by the coffee chain, CVS' community manager having a locked Twitter account, Denny's accidentally pointing customers to a Taiwanese boy's abandoned Twitter account on the back of its menus and a video produced by Leo Burnett about the virtues of social communication that ended up having none of the virtues of social communication.
Denny's ended up winning the round because of how funny the mistake was and because it took Denny's so long to notice anything was wrong.
Mean People Suck: These nominees all stumbled by failing to handle fan interaction well. Dr. Pepper got in trouble for its Facebook status takeover campaign, which ended up a little more peppery that the brand would have liked. Nestle's fight with Greenpeace continues to embarrass the brand. Price Chopper, a grocery store chain, complained to a customer's boss after the customer criticized the chain on Twitter. Mercedes was criticized for requiring users to like the brand on Facebook to learn more about an upcoming Twitter ad campaign. The Twitter campaign itself was also criticized, since the volume of tweets from participants was so high.
Price Chopper walked away with this one, since its reaction was so over the top and contrary to the values of social media.
You're so vain: This round was all about misuse of celebrity. LeBron James was called out for joining Twitter just in time to capitalize on speculation that he might switch teams — and then not using the platform to share any information. Designer Kenneth Cole took more scorn for his Egypt comments — though at at least one panelist argued that the off-color remark wasn't really all that bad. The passel of celebrities that participated in the "Digital Death" charity campaign were lampooned for going along with a stunt was both tasteless (in comparing silence on Twitter to actual deaths) and ineffective (in that the the silenced celebrities couldn't use their networks to raise money).
Fast Company's Influencer Project also took a hit, since it didn't really measure a person's influence so much as their willingness to spam their friends. The panelists said trying to identify influencers is a worthy goal, but the campaign shows how much we have to learn about calculating influence.
The Digital Death campaign won the day, with participants noting that it was both silly and ineffective — though it did have the effect of temporarily silencing a few of the Web's less appealing celebrities.
People's Choice: Nominations here included the Transportation Security Administration's handling of airport full-body scanners, BP's response to the Gulf of Mexico Oil spill, Charmin's Facebook presence and Facebook's "Facebook Stories" feature, with BP winning the round.
BP, Price Chopper, Digital Deaths, Cisco and Denny's were the contenders in the final round. Apologists came out on several sides, with some people saying that it's understandable the Denny's would miss the typo since it is managing an successful Twitter presence. At least one audience member argued that BP shouldn't qualify as a social media failure because the company's problems run much deeper.
The vote was close, but in the end, Price Chopper emerged as the year's worst social media faux pas, embodying the opposite of everything social media interaction is supposed to be about. At last glance, it looks like the chain took down the Facebook post "congratulating" it on the victory.
What do you think was the biggest social media flop of the past 12 months?

Garner patrol units responded to a reported attempted residential
breaking and entering at 102 Barslund Ct. on 1/12/14 at 3:58 p.m. GPD K-9 Unit Officer David Taylor and Bandit tracked
the suspects to 108 Barslund Ct., and our patrol units were able to arrest
three suspects for the attempted break-in.
Investigators from our agency responded, and through interviews and
search warrants were able to link one of those suspects to other break-ins
occurring in Sandlin Branch, and were able to develop a fourth suspect in the
previous cases. As a result,
Garner police were able to clear three previous residential break-ins in the Sandlin
Branch community which have occurred since October 2013.
The suspects charged in the attempted break-in at 102
Barslund Ct. were Damien Brown (age 20 of Garner) , Charles Bass (age 18 of
Raleigh), and Dewayne Webb (age 17 of Garner).
Each of these individuals was charged with attempted breaking and
entering, possession of burglary tools, and resisting an officer.
As a result of the investigation, Dewayne Webb was charged with possession of a handgun by a
minor, three (3) counts of breaking and entering, and three (3) counts of
larceny. Demetrius Brown (age 18 of
Garner) was charged with three (3) counts of breaking and entering, and three
(3) counts of larceny. These additional
charges were for the break-ins occurring on Kentucky Dr. between October 2013
and December 2013.
Chief Zuidema said, "This outstanding police work is an
example of the cooperation, information sharing, and dedication our patrol
officers, investigators, and special operations division engage in every day
for the people of Garner."

What once was an outlet for wooden toy trains, expensive stuffed animals and other amenities of childhood is quickly being converted into the home for perquisites of another variety: health benefits and retirement funds, flexible spending accounts and worker-effectiveness training.
By early fall the Office of Human Resources will be leaving its uptown offices in the Collins C. Diboll Complex and downtown digs on the fourth floor of Elk Place to consolidate at Uptown Square, in the former space of the Magic Box toy store.
It's a move that is being expedited by the relocation of the Office of Student Affairs to the Diboll Complex as a result of the coming University Center renovation.
But it's also a move that will improve the way human resources serves the Tulane community, say department administrators.
"We're taking advantage of this opportunity to consolidate the offices and provide more efficient service. We see it as a very positive endeavor," says Cheryl Avera, director of employment, compensation and records. From Avera's point of view, the move will greatly improve Tulane's hiring process. "Uptown Square will provide a convenient, accessible location with free parking for applicants," she says.
The consolidation of uptown and downtown offices also will help to more efficiently organize personnel files. "Right now, our files are divided between the uptown and downtown offices," says Avera. "Many employees are physically located in one location but their files are in another. After the move we will have immediate access to all files."
For Sandy West, director of benefits, who currently supervises staff located in the Diboll Complex, Richardson Building and Elk Place, the consolidation into one office is "absolutely a good thing."
"Just to have everyone together. To have the ability to discuss issues with everyone face-to-face. We can all come together as one group," says West. "I think it's great that we can come together as a unit and cross-utilize talents."
Avera agrees, noting that having all human resources staff in one location will allow more cross-training and "provide the luxury of having backups in each area. The provision of service will never be interrupted." The physical moves are not the only changes occurring in human resources. More processes are being automated, freeing up time for human resources staff to respond to people rather than paper. For example, benefits-plan sponsors all have useful Web sites where employees can view eligibility, check the status of their accounts and execute changes.
Frank Currie, director of staff development and training, likes to think of many of the services of human resources operating in a kind of "virtual office." Currie directs the Center for Workforce Effectiveness, which is soon offering classes online and is exploring more e-learning opportunities. But even with more information, documentation and forms available on the Web, "We are keeping the personal touch," says Currie.
Human resources staff will continue to make in-person visits and be available on any campus at any time. Barbara Brauner, director of employee relations and health sciences center operations, says, "We will be where needs arise." Human resources will retain the training and conference room on the fifth floor of Elk Place on the downtown campus.
The boost in the university's contribution to eight percent of staff salaries for staff-retirement savings, which was effective July 1, is one example of new and greater benefits accruing to Tulane employees, which the human resources staff is pleased to facilitate. In addition, online tuition-waiver forms will soon be available.
Also, human resources is piloting a performance- management system that will include behavioral objectives as part of the job duties. All these changes will lead to more effective customer service for the entire Tulane community, says Andy Heck, vice president for human resources.

US Army combatives and aikido

Why not Krav Maga? I don't know, originally what had happened was that one of the combatives instructors for the Rangers was big into Russian Sambo, and Jujutsu, hence the Gracie connection. He managed to convince the battalion commander of the 2/75 rangers to make it battalion policy which in turn when he became Regimental Commander it became Regimental policy, slowly but surely it is becoming Army Policy. The army is also a little hesitant to teach really deadly skills to the majority of its soldiers, for the fear of "bar room brawlers" and civilian reprecussions. Gracie JJ also helps teach aggresiveness and teaches a lot of soldiers who have spent years on the sega and playstation what it is to be in a violent confrontation. And can show everyone else who is going to give up and who will fight. Personnally I think Gracie JJ is as worthless on the battle field as Aikido, wrong art for the circumstances. I hope this clarifies things a little, also the army has a lot of TM's that aren't current as the technology and army changes pace quite quickly
of course that's my opinion I could be wrong

PRC chief killed in Gaza strike was planning major terror attack on Egypt border, army says
Yoav Zitun
Latest Update: 03.09.12, 17:49 / Israel News
Yoav Zitun
A senior Gaza terrorist killed in an IDF strike
Friday was planning a major terror attack on Israeli targets near the Egypt
border, army officials said Friday.
Zuhir al-Qaisi, also known as Abu Ibraim, was planning a mega-attack in recent days that could have resulted in numerous casualties, the army said. The planned multipronged terror strike was to originate from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, military officials said.
Related stories:
Al-Qaisi was assassinated in order to avert the mega-attack, which was in final stages of preparations, the IDF said.
The killed terror chief, who headed the Popular Resistance Committees group and served as its political chief, was involved in the lethal Egypt border attack on August 18, 2011 that left eight Israelis dead.
According to Palestinian reports, the second fatality in Friday's IDF strike was Ahmad al-Khanini, a senior PRC terrorist freed last year in the framework of the Gilad Shalit prisoner swap.
Meanwhile, the Popular Resistance Committees said it will respond to "Israel's dangerous escalation by all means available."
Speaking after the IDF assassinated the group's chief, PRC Spokesman Abu Mujahid said his group was no longer committed to a lull in Gaza vis-à-vis Israel.

Dogma Free Design at SXSW 2006
Published: May 8, 2006
South by Southwest (SXSW) began as a music festival in 1987 and has grown to include festivals and conferences for the film industry and interactive media. It is a colorful event, held each year in Austin, Texas, and drawing an eclectic crowd. (Need I mention the roller-derby girls handing out flyers outside the main entrance?)
Dogma Free Design
Panelists: Kelly Goto, Joel Grossman, Dirk Knemeyer, and Luke Wroblewski
One of the sessions I attended at SXSW this year was "Dogma Free Design." I expected a relaxed, informal atmosphere with world-class presenters who were interested in discussing what design really is and was happy with what I heard.
Dirk Knemeyer got everyone's attention by holding up a large sheet of paper with examples of current dogma such as:
- 99% of Flash is bad.
- Learn Ajax or you're dead.
I'm not sure whether people in the audience believed at that point that these were the subjects of the coming discussion or objects of ridicule. I heard several chuckles, but I also observed many gestures of agreement. Then Dirk tore the paper up, and the message was clear: dogma cannot contain design.
Dirk energized the stage for the rest of the discussion, which began with early schools of design including the Bauhaus Curriculum, the evolution of product development and its drivers, and the recent involvement of designers in the product development process.
One thing I found particularly interesting was a comparison of Apple® and Google™, which have very different design philosophies, but share similar financial growth rates. The design philosophy at Apple is artistic, whereas that at Google is scientific. This observation made it clear that different design philosophies can work.
Joel Grossman won over the audience with his example of a nightmare ROI (return-on-investment) spreadsheet. Customers or clients who hire designers often want or need a way to justify the cost of design and typically quantify their justification in terms of some metric or other. While it's easy to understand the drivers behind this trend, many problems can arise when using ROI to justify design, such as the metrics actually driving the design or the metrics simply being inappropriate. I would have liked to have heard some alternatives, because while we all understand this problem, we don't necessarily have a good solution.
My only suggestions for improving the session are that the organizers could have more clearly set expectations by providing an improved description of the panel and allowed more time for further interaction with the audience. This might have resulted in more take-home ideas, but with that said, I found the panel discussion very valuable and look forward to any future sessions with these panelists.

"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" may have been the big winner at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night, but when it came to drawing people to theaters over the weekend, no film beat "X-Men: First Class." The superhero reboot/prequel came in first in the latest box-office tally with a $56 million debut. And while the mutant movie's estimated opening is the worst of the franchise, "First Class" bears the distinction of being the best-reviewed "X-Men" flick since 2003's "X2: X-Men United."
While the first "X-Men" movie took in less than "First Class" when it debuted in 2000, with adjustments for ticket-price inflation it fared better than the new film. Eighty-eight percent of critics liked "X-Men: First Class," according to film-review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" (aka "X-Men 4"), in comparison, sits at 37 percent on the Tomatometer.
In non-mutant movie news, "The Hangover Part II" fell from the top spot to #2 at the box office in its second weekend of release, while suffering a sharp 62-percent decline (much greater than its predecessor). The poorly reviewed comedy sequel took in $32.4 million, for an overall $186.8 million total. "Kung Fu Panda 2" was #3 at the box office with $18 million, for a two-week total of $100 million. Johnny Depp's "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" was #4 with $18 million, for a $190.2 million total.
"Bridesmaids," the only movie in the top five that isn't a sequel, crossed the $100 million mark. The female-ensemble-led comedy made $12.1 million over the weekend to bring its total earnings to $107.2 million. "Fast Five," meanwhile, crossed the $200 million domestic box-office mark.
Welsh coming-of-age story "Submarine," tragic drama "Beautiful Boy" and Ewan McGregor's "Beginners" opened in limited release. Next weekend's big new release is JJ Abrams' "Super 8."
Check out everything we've got on "X-Men: First Class," "The Hangover Part II" and "Kung Fu Panda 2."

Feds rule diet soda in, cookies out
The U.S. Department of Agriculture finalized regulations today to limit the amount of fat, calories, sugar, and sodium in foods and drinks sold at schools during the school day. That includes snacks sold in vending machines and foods available à la carte in cafeterias, which have never been regulated before. Baked potato chips, granola bars, 100 percent-juice drinks, and diet drinks are in, but cookies, ice cream, and high-calorie beverages are out.
Proposed in February and made final this week, the guidelines fall under a child nutrition law passed by Congress in 2010, and are part of the government's campaign against childhood obesity. Back in 2004, a Republican-controlled Congress re-authorized the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act, which allowed regional school districts decide how they would fight obesity. Now, the 2010 law requires all regions to follow the nutrition requirements with one exception: student bake sales, but states can and have tried to regulate those.
Last year, Massachusetts tried to ban bake sales, but widespread opposition forced the state to abandon the plan. Homemade cookies, even organic ones, don't come in conventional packages labeled with calorie- and fat-content information, so some state nutritional requirements could eliminate homemade goods from schools. But parents and school districts pointed out that such a ban would make raising money for extracurricular activities more difficult.
While some schools have improved their lunch menus and vending machine choices, others still sell high-calorie foods—mozzarella sticks, French fries, and nachos—as à la carte items. Under these new federal regulations, schools would need to move toward offering foods like whole-wheat pizzas, low-fat hamburgers, fruit cups, and yogurt. In fact, the regulations will force schools to offer foods with more whole grains, low-fat dairy items, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.
Margo Wootan, a nutrition lobbyist for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said it's not enough to get rid of bad foods. "It also has to provide positive nutritional benefits," she said. "There has to be some food in the food."
One of the biggest changes in the regulations is a ban on high-calorie sports drinks, which many beverage companies added to school vending machines to replace high-calorie sodas. Now, high schools can only sell drinks containing fewer than 60 calories in a 12-ounce serving, while elementary and middle schools can sell only water, fruit or vegetable juice, and low-fat milk, including nonfat flavored milks.
The new guidelines do not apply to after-school concessions at school athletic or theater events, goodies brought from home for classroom celebrations, or anything students bring for their own personal consumption.
No one knows how these nutritional guidelines will affect children, but two videos produced by students reveal some possible unintended consequences—unappetizing food that children pass up and high school athletes who can't get enough calories from lunches during training.

That's because TV cards normally use an "overlay" mode to boost performance and free the CPU. The TV signal never reaches the video card's framebuffer where VNC can see it, but is instead transmitted directly through the video card's RAMDAC via a small buffer and the PCI bus. If your TV application supports it, turn off "overlay" mode. You will probably see performance drop considerably, but it should allow VNC to see it. However, also be advised that VNC is not optimised for transmitting video images, and will likely perform very poorly in this configuration. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- from: Jonathan "Chromatix" Morton mail: chromi "at" cyberspace.org (not for attachments) website: http://www.chromatix.uklinux.net/ geekcode: GCS$/E dpu(!) s:- a21 C+++ UL++ P L+++ E W+ N- o?

By PETER DOSHI and TOM JEFFERSON Published: April 10, 2012 The New York Times – IN the fall of 2009, at the height of fears over swine flu, our research group discovered that a majority of clinical trial data for the anti-influenza drug Tamiflu — data that proved, according to its manufacturer, that the drug reduced the risk of hospitalization, serious complications and transmission — were missing, unpublished and inaccessible to the research community. From what we could tell from the limited clinical data that had been published in medical journals, the country's most widely used and heavily stockpiled influenza drug appeared no more effective than aspirin.

Babble's Top 50 Dad Bloggers Announced!Cecily Kellogg
I realize we are all still recovering from Friday's horrific tragedy. Please don't think I don't feel it weighing down my soul as I write this post.
It's getting toward the end of the year, so that means best of lists, and here at Babble we are no exception. Today we've happily announced the winners of the Top 50 Dad Bloggers list!
As part of the committee that helped sort through the massive list of Dad Bloggers to pick the top fifty, I can tell you this is no easy feat and a laboruous process. Not that I'm complaining (ahem).
Here's what Babble says about the top dad bloggers list this year.
Last year, when we inaugurated our Top 50 Dad Blogs list, we praised dad bloggers for "changing the way we think about fatherhood." Indeed, a number of our favorite bloggers on this, our second Top 50 list, insist our thinking needs to be changed. They describe themselves as advocates for fathers, taking to their keyboards in order to counter dominant cultural stereotypes of dad-as-incompetent-buffoon. (You don't believe them? Tune in to most any family sitcom on most any night of the week.) Others on the list aspire simply to entertain us with funny, relatable tales from the trenches. A few write to work through the shattering grief of losing a child or spouse.
Have you checked out the list yet? You might find some surprises!

Great product for the office
This review is from: LG L1942PE-BS 19" 1280 x 1024 5ms Height & Pivot Adjustable Anti-Glare LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 8000:1
Pros: Decent price, non wide screen, LED and of course the adjustable stand! Lets just say its perfect for an office environment being ergonomic and all.
Cons: Wouldn't recommend this for gaming, for general office use its great.
Other Thoughts: If you are looking for an ergonomic monitor for the office, this is great (better than stacking papers underneath monitors lol).

Nice frame and excellent stand
This review is from: LG L1942PE-BS 19" 1280 x 1024 5ms Height & Pivot Adjustable Anti-Glare LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 8000:1
Pros: The stand is really sweet. You can adjust the height to a great extent, tilt and swivel works nicely to (though you can only swivel the monitor to the right). The frame is thin which makes it suitable for dual screen setup.
Cons: The screen is very sub par. Very faded and washed out looking colors (my old LG monitor has crisp and vibrant colors) and I would not recommend this monitor unless all you care about is the frame. I will be returning the two I bought since the picture quality is far great. If it wasn't for the stand and frame, this monitor would have received one egg.

Israel's economic growth hits 4.7% in second quarter of 2010, leaving behind Euro bloc at 4.1%
Gad Lior
Published: 08.17.10, 18:40 / Israel Business
Gad Lior
Surprising data: Contrary to earlier estimates by the Bank of Israel and government bodies, Israel's economic growth did not slow down in the second quarter of 2010, instead rising to an annualized 4.7% growth rate.
Data published by the Central Bureau of Statistics on Monday showed that many Israelis and labor unions, who have complained of cuts in wages and worsened conditions, actually spent more money and caused an almost unprecedented increase in expenditures for personal consumption.
Consequently, Israel's standard of living rose at a much higher rate than any other Western country.

text: By Allison Ross Palm Beach Post Staff Writer Updated: 6:15 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2011Posted: 9:05 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2011WELLINGTON — Teacher Stu Greydanus still has physics textbooks in his room at Palm Beach Central High that use the height of the World Trade Center as the basis for questions about air resistance, velocity and gravity.But the students in his classes this year really don't remember a time when those twin towers were standing; his sophomores this year were in kindergarten a decade ago."For the freshmen, they don't remember where they were when 9/11 happened," Greydanus said.It's a bit of a disconcerting feeling that an event that forever will be part of his and his fellow teachers' memories is something of which his students have no recollection.As the 10th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, Palm Beach County schools are holding memorials, planning moments of silence, conducting concerts, planting trees and sharing stories from survivors, family members and first responders.They're also grappling with the question about how best to teach students about the momentous events of Sept. 11, 2001.It's a question that's been ongoing since the towers fell, and one whose answer has shifted as time passed and dialogue about the event has changed .Kaylynn Knapp, a social studies teacher at Palm Beach Central High, said one of the biggest issues in teaching about 9/11 is determining what students know and don't know.When she asks some of her students about 9/11, she said some students believe that then-President George W. Bush had the buildings blown up, or that it was "when Afghanistan attacked the U.S." or "when Muslims declared war.""We're having to start from ground zero, and I don't mean that as a pun," Knapp said. "You have to unteach some of the misconceptions."Knapp said she likes to discuss with students the cost of the effects of 9/11, such as the loss of certain civil liberties or how some people might be dealing with health problems in the aftermath."My students are surprised when I tell them that we used to be able to get on an airplane without taking off our shoes or belt or coat," she said.Joe Cominio, a civics teacher at H.L. Watkins Middle School in Palm Beach Gardens, said he tries to blend lessons of patriotism and tolerance into the teaching of 9/11.This year, he is having his students interview parents or other people who remember where they were on Sept. 11, 2001. He is also planning a schoolwide event to raise an American flag that was sent to the school by a soldier fighting in Afghanistan.Neither Florida nor the Palm Beach County School District has a set curriculum for teaching that topic, although they have provided a number of resources for teachers."For the most part, if teachers include 9/11, it's a decision they're making," said Diana Hess, a professor of curriculum and instruction at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who is studying how curriculum and textbooks address 9/11.Hess and fellow researcher Jeremy Stoddard, an associate professor at the College of William & Mary, found that the majority of social studies and history textbooks available today cover 9/11, but overall, the coverage was wanting.They also found that the material covered in the textbooks changed as time passed."Initially, it was heroism, nationalistic themes, for the first textbook editions after 9/11," Stoddard said. "The textbooks talked about the heroism of the day and had a lot of inclusion of personal stories." But he said that, in more recent versions, some of the personal stories and tales of heroism have been taken out to make room for things that have happened since.Later versions also ventured to start asking students to deliberate on the effects of terrorism and some of the issues surrounding the attacks.And the textbooks, Stoddard noted, don't spend a lot of time discussing the actual events of 9/11, such as the number of people who died or exactly what happened.Deciding how to teach 9/11 can be difficult, said Laurie Cotton, the school district's secondary curriculum social studies program planner."This is contemporary history," she said. "There are people who remember it well and have very emotional attitudes of how it should be addressed."But despite the impact 9/11 has had, not all teachers cover it in history or social studies classes."There's not any way around it. September 11 became our history that morning," said Ryan Wells, an advanced placement human geography teacher at Forest Hill High. "As each year passes they have less and less memories of what happened that day. It's our job to teach them about it."

It has been such a pleasure and an honor to be on the {Paper Makeup} design team. I was so happy when Katie asked me to be on her team....I don't think I've ever told the story have I. I was on facebook one day and Katie popped on the chat and asked if I had gotten her email last week.....ummmm..no....what did you need? She said, well I was wondering if you would be on my design team.
WHAT?!?! Are you kidding?!?! How did I NOT get that email. Of course, I said yes and apologized over and over for my crappy email service. How is it that all my e-bills are always delivered and my very first design team invite doesn't show!! I'm so glad Katie cared enough to ask twice :) Love ya Miss Katie...Happy Birthday!!!I used the stamp sets:
{Faith Hope and Love}
{Birthday Cheer}
I stamped the flower silhouette with haystack ink first for a bit of a shadow. I added some cotton candy stickles to the main flowers and I learned less if more on this card. My first try I blobbed in on a little to thick and the flower sort of disappered :)

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - (January 18, 2011) - Yodil, Inc., a provider of business intelligence (BI), data analytics, and management reporting services to the insurance industry, was launched today. The new firm comprises business assets acquired separately from Advanced Systems Design (ASD) of Morton, IL – and from a veteran insurance industry and agency consultant.
"BI is a critical necessity for competitive businesses, as well as a buzzword," said Frederick Waite, Yodil's CEO. "Yodil expands the concept and the substance of BI considerably. It leads the curve in richness of content, depth and breadth of business intelligence and reporting, cost-effectiveness, and ease of implementation. Yodil constitutes a new day for BI and a new way of doing business."
Yodil bridges the carrier/agency data gap, enabling both parties – singly and in collaboration – to monitor all aspects of their businesses, from a single policyholder or producer to an entire book of business, with meaningful intelligence, in a shared environment, with common definitions. And it provides:
"The selling of our insurance-industry assets to Yodil is consistent with our strategic direction to work with vertical markets through the use of industry experts," said Dave Johnson, founder, president, and COO of ASD. "We'd matured that vertical software offering to the point at which it was ready to leave the nest. We look forward to watching Yodil realize its potential."
