I'm sure this has been brought up before but does anyone know of a Bengals message board with semi-intelligent discussion and less of the stupid banners and avatars?
What is it about NFL message boards? Is there something in the demographic that screams, "I have to have a custom designed banner that takes up half the computer screen"?
I just want a RedsZone-like discussion on the Bengals. Like this thread, but just more detail.
"I prefer books and movies where the conflict isn't of the extreme cannibal apocalypse variety I guess." Redsfaithful
And it's not as if Carson exactly took a huge risk here. He admittedly already had 80 million in the bank. If he never took another snap he was already rich enough to keep his great grandkids from ever having to work.
A lot of people have questioned Carson's will to win over the years, through his quotes and through his demeanor on the sidelines, etc. To me this is just another example of that. Rather than dig in and be a part of the solution, he simply gave up and went home. But I'd love to run into him some day and thank him so much for making The Bengals a much better team without him.
I was playing Madden 2007 the past few nights and I realized in just 4 years there are only a few Bengals left from that team. Geathers, Whitworth, frostee, and Williams is all I could remember. Pollack, Thurman, Tab Perry, Chris Perry, rudi, housh, braham, Dexter Jackson, shayne, Tory James, deltha, John Thornton, chris Henry, Brian Simmons, justin smith, stinko, and Carson all out of football, on other teams, or unfortunately deceased.
I'm sure that all of you realize that if Campbell had broken that collar bone three days later Little Mikey wouldn't have gotten anything at all for Palmer.
"For Reds fans, by Reds fans" Learn it, love it, live it.

I was fine keeping him till then because there would be a bigger market to compete for him. Sure we lucked out with Oakland becoming extremely desperate to win this year, but that's kinda how these kinda deals work. The alternative was dumping him for a 2nd/3rd or something along those lines just to get rid of him. That was obviously not the right thing to do.

Tarte Cosmetics Call of the Wild Palette
The tarte Cosmetics Call of the Wild Palette is a must have! This gorgeous spotted animal print palette contains eight, full-sized eye shadows, and was first offered at Ulta Beauty. It's now at Sephora, and of course, tarte Cosmetics Website. Tarte Cosmetics writes, "Go wild but still look beautifully, naturally you."
Tarte Cosmetics Statement on Being Cruelty Free:
"Yes. tarte cosmetics is a cruelty-free cosmetics line. tarte makeup and skincare is never tested on animals.
All ingredients and finished formulas tarte uses are tested and based on US FDA requirements before being imported to the US. We only work with highly reputable laboratories and factories that meet the strictest GMP standards, which is an international grading scale for cleanliness and the environment for workers that abide by a strict code of standards. We also test each product ourselves to match our quality standards. Additionally, we are an approved PETA participant; they have audited our non-animal testing procedures."
Here's a look at the tarte Cosmetics Call of the Wild case.
It's a patent leather-like material.
If you look closely (in the reflection in the mirror) you'll see the plastic cover, which has the names of the shadows.
Since the plastic cover is off, and therefore, the names of the shadows don't show, I have typed the name of each of the eight eye shadows.
Some swatches of tarte Cosmetics Call of the Wild:
There are six 0.09 oz eye shadows: Meow, Jungle, Instinct, Wild, Primal and Roar, and there are two 0.1 oz eye shadows: Call and Lynx
Meow: a shimmering gold shade
Jungle: a shimmering bronze shade
Call: a peachy shade
Instinct: a shimmering white shade
Wild: a shimmering plum shade
Primal: a matte gray shade
Lynx: a matte taupe shade
Roar: a matte cobalt shade
More tarte Cosmetics Call of the Wild swatches:
Ingredients: Formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate, synthetic fragrance
Roar, Primal, Jungle, Meow & Instinct Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow: Mica, Talc, Nylon-12, Dimethicone, Octyldodecanol, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Kaolin.

Thoughts about tarte Cosmetics Call of the Wild:
There is nothing I didn't love about the Palette. Tarte Cosmetics eye shadows, both the mattes and shimmers, are very soft and easy to blend. I assume the eye shadows are so incredibly creamy because they contain Amazonian clay, which tarte writes will "nourish lids, reduce surface oil and improve overall texture." I had no creasing at all, nor did I have any fallout from the shimmery shadows. I love the palette and agree with tarte's advertising that it allows you to create looks "from sleek and stylish to sexy and wild."
Highly recommend!

ITAR and Printed Circuit Boards (Part 1).Saturday, July 21st, 2012
ITAR is an acronym for the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. The purpose of ITAR is to safeguard and control the export and import of defense related information and technology related to and that appear on the United States Munitions List (USML). ITAR is a set of regulations that came into being in order to implement provisions of the Arms Export Control Act of 1976 (AECA). The United States Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) interprets and enforces ITAR. The mission statement of the DDTC is as follows…
The U.S. Government views the sale, export, and re-transfer of defense articles and defense services as an integral part of safeguarding U.S. national security and furthering U.S. foreign policy objectives. The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), in accordance with 22 U.S.C. 2778-2780 of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR Parts 120-130), is charged with controlling the export and temporary import of defense articles and defense services covered by the United States Munitions List (USML).
The USML in its entirety may be found here. The list is segregated into 21 categories. Most categories cover specific technologies, equipment or applications. The important classification that you need to be aware of is (more…)

A heart-wrenching new quit smoking campaign, to appear on Victorian television screens for the first time from tonight, asks smokers to think about the loved ones they leave behind should smoking claim their life.
The campaign developed by Cancer Council Western Australia, features brothers Ben and Luke Eliot who lost their father Neil to smoking-related lung cancer in 2007 at age 52.
The men tell the story of their devastating loss in a series of three emotional commercials, including the sadness that Neil did not live long enough to meet his first grandchild.
The brothers ask smokers "Is it worth it?"
Neil Eliot, who started smoking as a teenager, was a press photographer for almost 30 years, winning awards including a highly coveted Walkley Award.
Mr Luke Atkin, from Quit Victoria, said the message of the campaign was particularly poignant on Father's Day, with nearly 23 Victorian men losing their life to lung cancer every week in Victoria.
"Smoking is responsible for around 80 to 90% of all lung cancer cases, and sadly lung cancer continues to have one of the lowest survival rates of all cancers."
"Every one of the 23 Victorian men who lose their lives to lung cancer every week is someone's father, someone's son, someone's brother or someone's friend."
"This new campaign provides a sobering reminder of the personal and emotional impact that smoking-caused illnesses have on the lives of smokers' families, particularly their children."
Through the campaign the brothers want smokers to think about the people in their lives rather than themselves when it came to reasons to quit.
"My message to people, as a son of a 52 year old man who died as a result of lung cancer caused by smoking, would be for people to simply ask themselves is it worth it?" Luke said.
"Smoking will, without a doubt, devastate everybody who means everything to the smoker."
Ben added, "Give up for the people who care about you...give up for the people who are going to miss you."

Nox 2?
You know, i've been thinking about kickstarter projects and how awesome some games that are coming out of there are, or have the potential to be - and one game that i always end up coming back to in terms of wanting a sequel is Nox. Am i the only one that still loves the memories of playing that game? Or has anyone heard anything about any possibility of it being resurrected?
Nox was a nice game but I doubt it did too well financially. Can't see it getting a sequel either for the same reason. And it wasn't all fun and candy either. It's maps were hand made but still looked random generated, worst of both worlds.Twitter! Occasional impressions on random sim games.
For me Nox was hands down the best action RPG. It was unique because it required skill to play. In Diablo and other games you fight by drinking potions, equipping correct resistances, armour rating, block rating etc. Tactics consist of going forward or retreating.
Nox has armour rating, but it plays secondary role at best. In Nox, you dodge missiles and even melee attacks manually. Shield also needs to used manually. You have to aim carefully. Melee weapons have range. In fact, attacking and movement are two separate mouse buttons.You can outplay almost enemies with worse equipment. Multiplayer has modes like Free For All, and CTF. Everyone starts at the same level. They were able to do that because combat itself is fun.
Nox did't fail because it was a poor game. It failed because of bad business decisions and no support (balance patches). It was released within 2 months of Diablo 2 and marketing failed to underline the differences between the 2 games. Even worse, the only expansion released made the game less like Nox and more like Diablo (by introducing grindable levels, gradually increasing monsters stats, and generic n+1 gameplay). I disagree about ugly levels - I think the way they look is one of Nox's highlights. Music is good, and sound effects are exceptional and very varied.
Check the 2 videos to see how Nox plays. Show me a game which plays like that and I'll play it. This is not just a figure of speach, I really want to see another game like this.

Multi player:
Nox was made by Westwood Studios, now defunct. However, a lot of former Westwood employees now work in Petroglyph Studios. We can post on Petroglyph forums to ask for Nox 2.

text: PORTLAND, Ore. ( TheStreet) -- As the volume of the debate surrounding the National Football League's blackout policy has increased in recent years, perhaps no NFL team has been mentioned more frequently in that discussion than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Between 2010 and 2012, just five of the Bucs' last 24 home games have been shown on local television thanks to a league blackout policy dictating that games not sold out 72-hours ahead of kickoff be blacked out by stations broadcasting within a 75-mile radius of the home team's stadium. In this case, that building is Tampa's Raymond James ( RJF) Stadium, which was the only NFL stadium built within the last 20 years by using only public funding. Simply put, both Tampa-area Bucs fans and non-fans alike were being prevented from watching games played in a $168.5 million stadium they paid for. Despite a revision to the blackout policy last year that allowed teams the option of keeping a game on local television if just 85% of nonpremium seats were sold -- an option the Buccaneers organization accepted, the Bucs ranked 31st among 32 NFL teams in average announced attendance (55,102) and percent of stadium filled (83.9%). This season, the team is off to an 0-4 start. Josh Freeman, who began the season as the Bucs starting quarterback, is now with the Minnesota Vikings after being granted his outright release -- with the Bucs still paying a large portion of his salary. The man who ushered Freeman out the door by benching him, head coach Greg Schiano, has also angered star cornerback Darrelle Revis and chafed other members of the team with his brusque coaching style. But no matter how many people show up in Tampa for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles or how ugly the result is on the field, Buccaneers fans are guaranteed a televised home game. In fact, the team's owners are buying up any unsold tickets under the 85% attendance threshold and keeping the Bucs on local television for the rest of the season. While the Glazer family of owners can't currently vouch for the quality of what fans will be watching, their active role in preventing home-game blackout is 2013 is worth rooting for.

No-one can deny that the weakness of the housing market remains at the heart of the economic crisis in the US. In fact, it is the American equivalent of the sovereign debt crisis in the eurozone. The overhang of housing debt is forcing US households to run large financial surpluses in order to pay down their liabilities, just as the the overhang of sovereign debt in the eurozone is forcing governments to improve their financial balances. And that is resulting in weak economic activity on both sides of the Atlantic. The question of what should be done about it is now coming to the centre of the economic debate in the US. Diagnosing the problem is relatively straightforward. Solving it is not. Read more

I agree, what's sad is we have these haters for pot making false claims, example:Legalize pot!
Here is what this DA wrote: "Ironically, a leading cause of death for teenagers is the car crash, and marijuana use, even in small amounts, significantly increases that risk."
More BS from a DA clown. That is the most stupid comment I have ever heard. Drinking too much water can increase that risk, not paying attention can increase that risk. But we have alcohol easily available for teens, how does that affect that risk?

FUNDRAISER and Olympic torch bearer Caitlin Jones is taking part in the 'tenner challenge' along with her classmates.
The challenge encourages students to organise, promote and execute their own fundraising events for a charity of their choice – but they must spend no more than ten pounds.
The Darwen Academy pupils are raising money for Pink Passion Power breast cancer campaign.
They will collect money in Asda, Blackburn, tomorrow from 10am to 3pm by selling handmade cards and nail art, and Caitlin will be posing for photographs with shoppers and the olympic torch.
Caitlin, who suffers from learning and physical difficulties, was nominated to carry the Olympic torch in 2012 after she raised more than £10,000 for cancer charities.

MORE than 70 healthcare professionals across Dudley borough are now equipped with the skills to ensure more people with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses can spend their final days at home.
Under a new scheme, developed by Macmillan Cancer Support, The Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust and Mary Stevens Hospice, the Palliative Care Champions have been trained to deliver the highest standard of end of life care.
Karen Lewis, Macmillan's palliative care educator for Dudley, said: "I have worked in Dudley for the last 20 years, before my role with Macmillan I was a district nurse practice teacher. Unfortunately I lost my mother in 2006 and did not have a good experience, which is what inspired me to take on this role, I really wanted to make a difference to others going through such a difficult time."
She continued: "End of life care in Dudley is delivered by a number of different agencies, health, social care, the voluntary sector and private agencies. I want to ensure they are supported to complete a standard of mandatory training in end of life care, which will mean they feel confident in their skills and that patients will have a better experience and receive an equitable and high standard of care.
"The response so far has been fantastic, to have more than 70 champions already is a great start and I am eager to roll the programme out further."
Andrew Kenwrick, palliative care clinical educator at Mary Stevens Hospice, added: "We are very hopeful that the programme will have a positive effect on the delivery of care to all who require palliative and end of life care within the Dudley area."

Opus Dei, ( Latin: "Work of God") in full Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei, Roman Catholic lay and clerical organization whose members seek personal Christian perfection and strive to implement Christian ideals and values in their occupations and in society as a whole. Theologically conservative, Opus Dei accepts the teaching authority of the church without question and has long been the subject of controversy; it has been accused of secrecy, cultlike practices, and political ambitions. With separate branches for men and women, the organization has been headed since 1982 by a prelate elected by its members. Priests constitute only a tiny percentage of the organization, numbering some 1,900 of the 85,000 members worldwide.
Founded in 1928 in Spain by Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer y Albás (canonized in 2002), a priest trained in law, Opus Dei was formally approved by the Holy See in 1950 as a secular institute (i.e., a new form of religious association whose members "profess the evangelical counsels in secular life"). On Nov. 28, 1982, Pope John Paul II, a staunch supporter of Opus Dei, established it as the first and only personal prelature in the church, with jurisdiction over people rather than a geographic area. The prelate can establish seminaries and promote students to holy orders, but the organization remains subject to some oversight by local bishops.
Opus Dei originally required new members to take a vow of obedience and chastity. Since the organization became a prelature, however, it has required only a contractual commitment to receive spiritual formation, which includes weekly classes ("circles") and an annual religious retreat, among other activities. New members serve a period of probation, which lasts at least five years, before they are fully admitted. Some members of Opus Dei, called numeraries, devote much of their time to the organization. Like priests, they are required to remain unmarried, but they live in the world and pursue secular occupations. They commonly practice self-sacrifice and self-mortification, which can include fasting, abstinence from certain pleasures, and the wearing of a cilice (which often takes the form of a spiked chain worn around the upper thigh). The majority of members, however, are the supernumeraries, who are free to marry, contribute financially to Opus Dei, and demonstrate Christian virtue in their daily activities. The group is assisted by cooperators, who are not members and, by permission of the Holy See, need not even be Christians.
Because Opus Dei included many highly educated people, Spain's leader Generalissimo Francisco Franco involved several of its members in instituting economic reform in 1956, and among his ministers were members of Opus Dei. After Franco's death in 1975, Opus Dei's influence waned in Spain as other groups entered the political arena.
Aggressive recruiting practices, the brainwashing of new recruits, and the isolation of members from their families are among the charges often leveled against the organization. Pointing to its continued growth, Opus Dei denies these accusations.
The organization has established vocational, trade, home-arts, and agricultural centres in various parts of the world, numerous high schools, schools of business administration, and charitable activities. Opus Dei also founded and endowed (with government assistance) the University of Navarra, which is regarded by many as Spain's finest university, and operates the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome and the University of Piura in Peru.

Detailed Description:
Primary Sjögren's syndrome (SJp) affects 0.1% of the population. This systemic autoimmune disease systemic is characterized by disabling dryness, fatigue and pain, and systemic complications in 30% of patients. No treatment has proven effective in this disease. In open studies, some efficacy was observed with hydroxychloroquine but no RCT versus placebo has ever been done.
Thus, the primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine (400mg/ day) on dryness, pain, and fatigue, assessed by the patient using visual analogical scales (VAS).
Response is defined by the improvement of 30% or more of at least 2 out of 3 of the following VAS : most disabling dryness, fatigue, and pain.

Forums: Index > The Wizengamot > Armando Dippet's age
Can someone please tell me where in canon it states that Armando Dippet was born in the 1600s. According to his article he would have been over 300 years old at the time of his death. Since there are only two ways that are known of in the wizarding world to achieve this type of longevity (i.e. Horcruxes, Elixer of Life) and it appears that Professor Dippet was neither a dark wizard nor an alchemist, nor even a close colleague of Nicholas Flammel, how did he live so long? I know wizards live long lives, but this does seem a bit off without some extra-magical assistance. Could someone please clarify? Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs).
- The dates are referenced. This image from the movie shows he was quite old. I can't find anything on the second reference referring to Dippet at all, let alone his death date. -Shorty1982 11:15, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
- He definetly died before Harry was taken to Dumbledore's office. So it was between September 1st and December 1992. I think that it is unlikely he is that old but who knows
- (Jayk..)
- look the simple answer is that magic increased his life span, it may have been a youth potion (after all they have ageing potions) or maybe he knew a spell to keep him young. either way you dont need an explanation. it's just superfluous.Jaykespeare 22:14, November 3, 2011 (UTC)
- Wizards lifespan seems to be bigger than that of Muggles. While the real-life human life expectancy usually varies from 65 to 80 years, wizards in their 100s-120s (see Rolanda Hooch, Albus Dumbledore, Elphias Doge, Griselda Marchbanks, etc.) still seem to be active members of society. Even Horace Slughorn, who is around 90 years old, seems to be an extremely agile and competent wizard. Bathilda Bagshot was a great-aunt of Gellert Grindelwald (in the 1890s!), which would imply she was nearing her 200th birthday around the time of her death (one wonders when she would have died if she'd died of old age). Professor Dippet, on the other hand, is described as "ancient" and "feeble". The 1630s birthdate (as given in the Chamber of Secrets film) is entirely consistent with Dippet's description in the book as a "feeble" and "ancient-looking" wizard: clearly a 300-year-old wizard is the equivalent of a 80-something-year-old Muggle. -- Seth Cooper owl post! 22:55, November 3, 2011 (UTC)
- How do we know that Armando died in 1992? I know he crashed during a flight on his broom and was punished by the Ministry for it, thus making it unlikely that he had any life threatning injuries. I know it says in the books that the Headmaster Portraits is of deceased peoples, but its all seen from Harry's point of view. It is quite possible that his portrait appeared when he resigned normally. It isn't like it is impossible for a portrait to exsist unless the person depicted - sorry for bad spelling - on it has moved on. Look at all the portraits of Lockhart in his office.

Pomeroys strengthen basketball team with new recruits
August 6th, 2012 |
The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) women's basketball team has added three more players to its 2012 recruiting class, head coach Deanna Bradley announced. Madeline Pea, Hailee Rittinger and Brandi McDaniel signed letters of intent and will join the Pomeroys for the 2012-13 season.
"We have signed a great group of student athletes," Bradley shared. "Each of these young women brings a great work ethic and passion for the game of basketball, and will benefit us tremendously."
Information on each of the students is as follows:
Madeline Pea
Madeline Pea, a 5'7" shooting guard from Salem, Ill., comes to SMWC after playing two seasons at John Wood Community College in Quincy, Ill.
Pea averaged 6.5 ppg, 4 rpg and was solid from the free throw line at 71 percent. She plans to study graphic design.
"Madeline brings an aggressive worth ethic to the guard position," Bradley added. "Due to recovering from ACL surgery in June, she will be limited to the second half of the season, but once she gets on the floor, we anticipate her fitting in very quickly."
Hailee Rittinger
SMWC will receive much needed size with the signing of Hailee Rittinger, a 6'0 forward from Centerville, Ohio. Rittinger comes to the Pomeroys after two strong seasons at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio.
Rittinger chipped in 6 ppg and 5 rpg for Sinclair as well as 2.5 blocks per game last season. She plans to study early childhood education.
"Hailee has a good inside/outside game, and brings needed height to the team," Bradley explained. "She will be strong with her inside play, but can also step out and hit the 15-footer. Her versatility will be a welcomed asset."
Brandi McDaniel
SMWC brings in another player from the Buckeye state with the signing of Brandi McDaniel from Franklin, Ohio. McDaniel also comes to SMWC via Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio, where she had an outstanding 2011-12 season.
McDaniel, a 5'10" forward, averaged 15.5 ppg and 7.5 rpg as well as shooting 48 percent from the field and 74 percent from the free-throw line. She will major in business at The Woods.
Bradley said, "Brandi is a strong post player, and will help our inside game both offensively and defensively. She is very physical, and will help clean things up on the board for us as well."

BEIJING–South Korea's Lim Su-jeong won the women's 57 kilogram taekwondo gold on Thursday, defeating Azize Tanrikulu of Turkey.
Both fighters opened slowly, and Lim was deducted a point for passivity. Lim scored a kick in the second round to even it up going into the third round. She scored the winning back kick with 20 seconds left.
Diana Lopez of the United States won bronze with a match-ending kick in overtime against Italy's Veronica Calabrese. Winning the other bronze was Martina Zubcic of Croatia, who defeated Taiwan's Su Li-wen in overtime.
Taekwondo awards two bronze medals in each weight class.

Nice Accent Piece
By Tallygirl
from Tallahassee, Florida
About Me Midrange Shopper
Love this print. The colors are vibrant and it looks fabulous on my lemon yellow walls over the bar. Wish it had been available with a 1" frame instead of the 2", which is a bit much for the 26"x16" poster size.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great colors, wonderful selection of sizes. Thanks!
Great Colors
By Jim dog
from Carmel, CA
This is one of the best posters we have purchased and the price was terrific.....much better than the smaller Nestle poster which was only 24 x 32. This one is 30 x 40.We rearranged our poster collection in the Living Room to put this one in the best position. We think it is that special And we love Dudavitch the artist. And have another one of his in our San Francisco home.

Users often interact with similar content in different ways. Online news content is a good area to see this clearly. And it is getting a lot of attention these days following the release of the Pew Report on "Navigating News Online." Some people are casual browsers, visiting sites and stories suggested by their social network. Some people are occasional users, checking in with a news website once a week. There are mobile users who consume immense amounts of content through their mobile device. Others are power users – super consumers who visit several sites, get massive amounts of content, often on a computer, and share that content with others.
Then there are people like me. I consider myself a multi-channel regular user: I consume news content in several different ways (email digest, through websites, rss feeds, and apps on my phone) at least once a day. I never though about why I interacted with similar sites and content in different ways until reading some of the recent articles about the ways people consume news.

Hi -
I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with Facebook business page setting up/ options?
Basically, I created a Facebook business page for my friend's company, uploaded some pics, got few friends to "like" it and etc., but then I realized that you can't do much with it. It doesn't show up in search results, you can't add/ invite people, "like" other pages and etc. Even if you get lot of people to "like" it, it still means nothing since you cant comment "like" other business pages or leave comments. Apparently the way to go about it so to turn one's personal Facebook profile into a Facebook business page. I never had Facebook profile and my friend who owns the company has one, but he uses his own username/ email and password to log on to it. Facebook business page that I created for him has different username/ password? There are also some rules imposed by Facebook about not operating private profile and business page at the same time, since they can then shut it down.
Can anyone share some insights on this, please? Thanks
Maybe you should create a fan page - I have several fan pages for my stuff. This way you can post news, presentation, info, pics, videos etc... I also have a opt-in form on every fan page.
Some of the fan pages only I can post topics and visitors can post comments, other fan pages both me and visitors can post stuff - and it shows in the SERPs
I can post all those things on the page now but I don't have a search option to look for other Facebook pages or "like" them if I do find them via Google. But I'll have a look at fan page option - do you know if it is possible to switch to it, or start from the beginning? Thanks.
you job is not over just created a own facebook page.. you have to share daily update of your business service and also share information of interesting offer then people will attract of your business...Thanks
Fan pages seem to be the better option. I have been working on my facebook profile for a while and post a number of blogs with a link back to my page and yet Google analytics dont seem to pick up the traffic as much as I anticipated!!!!
People go to social sites to interact which limits the desire to click off. The more you can to bring content on to social networks and social tools into your content, the better you'll do but you have to look at success as being beyond an immediate click.
I believe creating Fan page like what Crazybanana says are more great thing for you.
Giving away your business doesn't equate to success.
I guess what Wayne wants to say is that, sort of discount's (ex: 3-5% In a limited day/s only) are far more better than promoting your business in a TV commercial just to like your business page on Facebook. Well, I respect those companies that really wants their company to be liked in Facebook.
Better how?
I don't mean giving away business. Anyways that's just a side thinking of mine only.
Facebook Business page is quite has problem in setting up this time because of new facebook features.
Are you saying, it is hard to set up a Facebook business page? If so, why do feel that way? Have you had trouble in the past?
Wondering if your question is actually about search engine optimization. More seems like you've done a facebook fanpage and then going doesn't that translate to search engines finding the information? Think about which companies are competitors and think about a complete business package. Google+, Linkedin, Facebook, new ones are starting all the time, Pinterest, does the business have a physical location? how about foursquare and check in discounts? making a business easy to find is harder then ever. Sometimes I miss the old just put an add in the local phone books yellow pages days.
check some tips on internet of facebook or u can take help from here...<snip>
This thread died months ago. Please let it rest in peace and don't grave-dig old threads.

RokForm has released its newest case, the RokShield for iPhone 5, and it not only protects your phone, but offers some unique functionality through a built-in mounting system. The system locks your phone securely in place, so there's no worry about it coming loose, yet releases quickly so you can grab your phone and go.
The RokShield case is actually a set of individual components that work together. It comes with a hard polycarbonate frame that houses your phone and then a protective rubber bumper that fits around that frame. You can choose to leave the rubber bumper off if you're looking for a slimmer profile.
On the back of the hard case there's a triangular shaped rubber insert that will keep your phone from slipping out of place wherever you set it down. This was pretty handy when I just put the phone on the dash of the car without using the mounting system. Even accelerating and in tight corners, that little insert kept my phone from sliding.
Beneath that insert there's also a little magnet that let's you stick your phone to metal surfaces. It's not as secure as the mounting system, but it does offer another way to quickly mount your phone to a nearby surface if you aren't using the mounting system.
Lastly, you get what RokForm calls the easy stick Remote Mounting System (RMS). This is the really cool part. It's a small disc that you can permanently mount to a surface, like your dashboard, and it locks into place on the back of the hard case. Once your phone is locked in, it's not going anywhere.
It's just a simple twist to get your phone on and off of the RMS, and it's the most secure system I've ever used for mounting the phone on a car dash. Especially if you use your phone as a GPS, the RMS has your phone ready to go with just a twist and a click.
There are numerous accessories including a belt clip, bike mount, and additional RMS units, so you can put them wherever you want your phone secured. I used the belt clip and found it just as quick and easy as the RMS I used in the car.
Compared to other mounting systems, this one was unobtrusive and much quicker to use. There's no arm sticking out from a dash mounted suction cup or the like and the RMS itself is practically unnoticeable on your dash.
The only drawback to the case, and this is really an issue with most cases for the iPhone 5, is that it adds a good bit to the phone's profile. You can make it a little slimmer by removing the protective rubber bumper, but it's not enough to really make a difference, so I was just as happy to leave it in place.
Surprisingly, this isn't a particularly expensive case. The RokForm RokShield for iPhone 5 is $39.00, which is a great price for such a fully-featured case. It's available in a variety of colors and there are versions for the iPhone 4/4S, Galaxy 3S and even iPads.
I received this case for review purposes.

If Bob Dylan wrote a recipe, he probably wouldn't rework one of his song titles to name it. But wouldn't that be fun? We went ahead and mused on a few for him — just in case he catches the culinary bug in the near (or far) future. In honor of the release of his latest album Tempest, which hit shelves today, we reworked 9 popular titles to our stomachs' likings.
1. If You See Her, Make Jell-O
We can't confirm whether or not Dylan makes his own Jell-O, but if he does, this should without question be the front runner for the name of his recipe.
Actual Song Title: If You See Her, Say Hello
Jello Recipe(s): Summer Berry Jello, Watermelon Limeade Jello, Margarita Jell-O Shots, Pretzel Peach Jell-O Pie, Blackberry Mint Julep Jell-O
2. Fu-Ever Young
Censorship controversies aside, we'd be hard-pressed to believe anyone — including Dylan — isn't a fan of authentic Chinese cuisine. Especially one of its tastiest dishes, Egg Fu Young.
Actual Song Title: Forever Young
Egg Fu Young Recipe(s): Egg Fu Young with Roasted Red Pepper and Sweet Chili Sauce
3. It Ain't Meat, Babe
You say you're looking for a meal that won't boost your cholesterol, "but it ain't meat, babe. No, no, no, it ain't meat babe. It ain't meat you're lookin' for, babe." That's okay. We have substitutes that are just as delicious (see the recipes below).
Actual Song Title: It Ain't Me, Babe
Meatless Recipe(s): Meatless Meatballs, Bean Burgers, Meaty Meat-less Chili
4. Don't Think Twice Baked Potatoes, It's All Right
Unless they're truffled, or smothered in cheese, or sprinkled with bacon, or drowned in butter or made Greek-style or or or…
Actual Song Title: Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
Twice Baked Potato Recipe(s): Cheddar Twice Baked Potatoes, Goat Cheese and Pancetta Twice Baked Potatoes, Truffled Twice Baked Potatoes, Greek-style Twice Baked Potatoes
5. Knockwurst On Heaven's Door
Because Oktoberfest 2012 is knockin' on ours.
Actual Song Title: Knockin' On Heaven's Door
German Recipes: Potato and Beer Soup, Wiener Schnitzel, German-style Creamed Spinach
6. Sad-Eyed Ladyfingers of the Lowlands
We're being ironic here, can't you see? There's nothing sad about ladyfingers, especially not when they're used to make tiramisu.
Actual Song Title: Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands
Tiramisu Recipes: Chocolate Tiramisu, Giada's Tiramisu, Lemon Hazelnut Tiramisu, The Tiramisu
7. It's Alright, Ma (It's Only Bleeding)
And if it isn't, our bet is it's probably overdone.
Actual Song Title: It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)
Steak Recipes: Alton's Steak Au Poivre, Tagliatta Alla Fiorentina, Cajun Blackened Steak
8. If Not For Moo
There would be no cheese, and what a terrible thing that would be.
Actual Song Title: If Not For You
Actual Cheese Plate Recipe(s): Serrano Ham and Manchego Cheese Plate, The Ultimate Cheese Course
9. Most Likely You'll Go Your Way, And I'll Go Dine
Go ahead, eat out tonight. You deserve it.

I shaved to save sharks
Last night at 6pm down here on Little Cayman in the middle of the Caribbean I conducted my talk about sharks - why they are so amazing and the threats they are facing. The most recent scientific paper (Worm et al .2013) has given estimates of shark mortality not only from commercial fishing but through bycatch, illegal unreported fishing, and shark finning. There conservative estimate was that 100 million sharks are killed per year - that's around 11,500 sharks per hour! For 48% of the shark species they investigated the level of annual mortality was well above the sharks estimated rebound rate. In other words sharks are currently being fished at a rate that they can't recover from.
My talk concluded with a statement about the need for global shark protection, highlighting methods such as developing shark sanctuaries, sustainable shark fishery regulations, increasing finning bans and tougher enforcement, taxes on shark import and export to provide for properly regulated domestic shark management, research and education.
Then it was time…
On the 1st of June I vowed that if I could raise $500 US for Project AWAREs shark protection project by my 29th birthday (9th of July) I would shave off all my hair in a stand against shark finning.
So my time was up and I kept my promise… The best bit is I smashed my target with total donations sitting at not $1000, not $2000, not $5,000 but $8,231 (www.finathon.org/shave4sharks)!
I love my new look, and I want to thank everyone who donated to the project you are all AWESOME.
Thank you from the sharks!
Stay tuned for the video of the shave.
All photo credits thanks to Emma Camp. Thank you also to Stafford for shaving my head and my awesome shark - I love it. Thank you to Southern Cross Club (www.southerncrossclub.com) for hosting the big shave.

That is correct, you need to earn at least $10 to receive a 1099 (paper or electronic).ReplyDelete

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated July 27th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: Joel Richardson looks to be humane, but his description of the antichrist is very ruthless and a far cry from compassion and love and good conscience. It is terribly unjust and a huge violation of conscience to denounce a religion, a nation, as the army of the antichrist as a whole. There are good and bad people in all faiths. There are good Christians, and they support the Mahdi, and Jesus the Messiah. There are good Jews, and they support the Mahdi and Jesus the Messiah. There are good Muslims, and they support the Mahdi and Jesus the Messiah. The bad ones support the antichrist. There are supporters of the antichrist in all three faiths. And there are supporters of the Mahdi and the Messiah in all three faiths. People can be judged according to whether they are good or bad. But it is very abnormal and dishonest to say that the antichrist will come from Turkey, that people in the region of Turkey are the army of the antichrist, or that the Vatican is the army of the antichrist. This talk encourages wickedness, disorder and terror. But the truth is that wicked, cruel and loveless people will support the antichrist. Isn't it? The enemies of Allah, Darwinists and materialists will support the antichrist, while good and loving people who see the fact of Creation will support the Mahdi and the Messiah. Richardson may be referring to the entire Turkish nation as the army of the antichrist out of a desire to make a name for himself in Europe, to cause some excitement or maybe out of genuine ignorance. But this is disgraceful and a terrible sin. Something he will not be able to account for in the hereafter. He actually slanders the Bible by saying, "It is in the Bible." The Bible says no such thing. Does it say, "The Turkish nation is the antichrist" anywhere in the Bible? Allah would never say such an illogical thing. So Joel needs to correct his language as a matter of urgency. People around him, rational people, should warn him.

Recent heavy rains may have helped move parts of the central Plains from drought to deluge, but drought still dominates in the western half of the United States.
The latest "Drought Monitor" paints a clear picture of drought across the contiguous United States – vibrated hues of red and maroon dotting the western half of the country. The drought is far from over in parts of New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska in a parched corridor spanning more than 750 from the southern tip of New Mexico to the Nebraska's South Dakota border.
Kansas now takes the reign as having the highest percentage of land in exceptional drought – the highest level reported by the "Drought Monitor." Twenty-five percent of the state is in exceptional drought. However, drought is now primarily centered in western counties after numerous storms drenched central Kansas with more than 5 inches of rain over the last week.
States further to the west are also dealing with excessive levels of drought, including California where at 77 percent of the state has been in severe or worse drought since mid-June. Extreme drought is quickly spreading across parts of Nevada, Idaho and Oregon.
Click here to see the full report.
The easing drought in central Kansas may help local crops, but that doesn't hold true for all of the western Corn Belt.
"The portion of the U.S. corn production area in drought has been edging upward in recent weeks, from 17 to 22 percent between July 9 and August 6," Brad Rippey, a meteorologist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Office of the Chief Economist, said in a release. "The increase has been largely due to resurgent drought in the western Corn Belt, including northern Missouri, eastern Nebraska, and western Iowa. Soybeans in drought have also increased in the last four weeks, from 8 to 14 percent. Hay (34 percent) and cattle in drought (47 percent) were both unchanged from last week."

Slideshow: Looking back at electronic test, part 2
Post a comment
This article is the second in a three-part series where I've attempted to collect representative test equipment from the following eras: 1988-2000; 1956-1987; and 1939-1955. This installment covers the time period of 1956-1987. Please enjoy and use the comments to record your memories of these pieces of equipment, including learnings, funny stories, and nostalgic remembrances. Let's make this a piece of living history!
Year: 1987
National Instruments (NI)
NI LabVIEW 1.2 system design software on Mac with DAQ boards
NI introduced its first plug-in measurement data acquisition (DAQ) board. With the introduction of LabVIEW 1.2 and advanced DAQ boards, NI argued that engineers and scientists could replace expensive, fixed-function, vendor-defined instruments with a customer-defined, PC-based system at a lower cost and gain flexibility and productivity.

Kershaw finds vintage form for 16th victory
After rough takeoff, Dodgers ace sticks landing vs. D-backs
PHOENIX -- Until Wednesday night, Clayton Kershaw's best Chase Field performance in years had been in the swimming pool, not on the mound.
With an 89-43 mark everywhere else but only a 3-6 ledger on the D-backs' turf, Kershaw spent the first four-plus innings dodging bullets. Then the National League Cy Young/MVP version of Kershaw kicked in and pitched the Dodgers to a 3-1 win that gave his team the two-game set and raised his record on the season to 16-3, most wins in MLB.
Kenley Jansen recorded his 100th career save, Matt Kemp doubled in two runs and Scott Van Slyke homered before leaving with a mild right ankle sprain that looked worse when he was hurt in left field while allowing the only run (unearned) to score off Kershaw with a throwing error.
Otherwise, Kershaw spent the early evening stranding D-backs in scoring position and the late innings striking them out. He allowed the leadoff batter to reach base in four of the first five innings, but struck out 10, including six in a stretch of nine batters. Kershaw has three consecutive starts with at least 10 strikeouts. The only other Los Angeles Dodger to do that was Sandy Koufax.
"It was a bad start, really," Kershaw said. "There were guys on base the whole night, I had to work out of jams. Fortunately, I got through eight innings."
He has a 1.73 ERA, is 9-1 on the road and 9-1 against NL West opponents. This one was a rebound from his worst start of the year on May 17, when he was charged with seven runs in 1 2/3 innings during his last visit to the Valley of the Sun.
"He threw the ball good at the end," said Arizona manager Kirk Gibson. "He had a couple 10-pitch innings. He's got good stuff. When we beat him here, he was leaving his slider up. [Tonight] he was burying his slider."
Until Wednesday night, the best thing to happen to Kershaw at Chase Field in recent years was last season's division-clinching pool party.
"I don't know if that last start had any lasting effect," he said. "This is a completely different [Arizona] team. But the game plan worked out OK."
In the third inning, Kershaw pitched out of his first bases-loaded jam of the season.
"It's a pretty shocking stat. But not really with him," said Van Slyke.
Manager Don Mattingly said what impressed him most about Kershaw immediately following that May 17 debacle was that you couldn't tell it happened.
"His preparation for his next start was the same, his demeanor didn't change," said Mattingly.
Pitching coach Rick Honeycutt wrote the whole thing off to rustiness.
"People forget that he goes through Spring Training, gets hurt in Australia and gets shut down for five weeks," Honeycutt said. "That [May 17] was only his third start back. It's like Spring Training again and you might just have a bad start at any point of Spring Training. I'm not saying he wasn't good enough to make that start, but he really wasn't him yet.
"Soon after that you saw the arm speed and arm slot more consistent. In that game, he still wasn't where he needed to be. So, in my mind, it was just a bad inning."
Dee Gordon led off the third inning with his 16th bunt single and 45th infield hit, both of which lead MLB. He stole second for an MLB-leading 58, seventh on the all-time L.A. single-season list behind current first-base coach Davey Lopes. While Gordon distracted Arizona starter Wade Miley, he walked Puig.
Kemp sent one into the right-center-field gap to turn the play into a relay race, with Gordon and Puig flying around the bases. Kemp, though, was thrown out trying for third on the two-run double. One out later, Van Slyke did his usual damage to a Miley pitch, lofting his 10th home run just over the left-field fence. He is 7-for-11 with four homers and three doubles against Miley this year, but it was his first homer in five weeks.
Arizona scored in the fourth on the play that cost the Dodgers' lineup Van Slyke. After Alfredo Marte's leadoff double down the third-base line, Jordan Pacheco hit a sinking liner that center fielder Puig attempted to catch with a dive, but the ball deflected off his glove into the direction of left fielder Van Slyke.
As Van Slyke picked up the ball with his bare hand and planted his right foot, his right ankle turned badly and he collapsed onto the turf. While still down, Van Slyke flipped the ball wildly into the infield as Marte scored and Pacheco took second, where he was stranded as Kershaw retired Tuffy Gosewisch, Didi Gregorius and Miley.

Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
Sreyann is from Cambodia. She has 2 children. She needs a loan of $350 to purchase fertilizer and hire labor.
Sreyann is from Cambodia. She has 2 children. She needs a loan of $350 to purchase fertilizer and hire labor.
Sreyann Ron lives in Banteay Meanchey Province where she grows rice and vegetables to support her two children. Her main challenge is having the money to buy fertilizer and also pay for labor costs during harvest. She asked for funding from World Vision to help sustain her farm.
The funds she received were used to purchase much needed fertilizer and also to pay for the labor during harvest time. This year her crops were better and she was able to harvest them much sooner. With the farm being more successful, she will have a better income than in previous years.
The additional income will help to improve their living conditions and will be used to send her children to school. In the future, Sreyann wants to increase her farm so that she can grow more rice and vegetables. This will make her farm even more successful and give her family a more secure future.
The Agriculture business sector covers all farming and livestock activities. Some entrepreneurs request loans to help in securing supplies and equipment. Others want to buy more animals to breed or purchase feed and medicines. The majority of our loan clients live in rural communities where agriculture is already understood as a business model. It is for this reason that approximately 50% of our loans are in the agricultural sector.
More than 56,000 people make their home in Cambodia's Leuk Daek district. Located in Kandal province, improvements are needed in social services, healthcare, schools, and roads. Agriculture is the main source of family income, yet 37 percent of the population experiences food shortages for more than four months of the year.
World Vision established the Leuk Daek Area Development Program in 2000. Accomplishments include helping families establish home gardens, teaching farmers new agricultural methods, immunizing children, constructing calverts, and supporting a canal renovation. These changes have helped the Cambodian people to begin making improvements in their lives.
The World Vision-affiliated VisionFund Cambodia microfinance institution does things like educate entrepreneurs about microfinance, disburse loans, and manage repayments. This gives impoverished rural people a chance to back away from local moneylenders and begin sustainable employment opportunities.
Thank you for supporting a small business loan for Sreyann Ron to expand her farming and food business. After receiving the loan from World Vision, she invested the $350 by buying fertilizer and hiring labor.
Sreyann has been repaying her loan on time with her new profits. She makes weekly payments of $7. In addition to repaying her loan, Sreyann is using additional income to purchase fertilizer and expand the current business and purchase equipment. Sreyann's 2 children continue to study in school.
Sreyann would like to express her appreciation to all of her donors. Thank you for supporting Sreyann and World Vision Micro!
Thank you for supporting Sreyann Ron's farming business through World Vision Micro. Sreyann invested her small business loan of $350 to purchase fertilizer and hire labor for her farm. She has made weekly payments of $7 and has now fully repaid her loan.
With the profits from her business, Sreyann decided to purchase food for the animals, purchase fertilizer and expand her current business. Sreyann's goal for the future is to earn enough so that she can expand her current business, take out another loan and purchase livestock.
Sreyann's two children remain in school. Because of your donation, Sreyann is able to provide a better future for her children.
Thank you for providing Sreyann with hope and a future. These funds are now being recycled to support another hardworking entrepreneur in the same community.

As you may have noticed, General Chat has now become General Discussions. Please take a minute to read the new guidelines below.If you have any comments or burning issues that you feel must be addressed, then please, let me know
General Discussions Forum guidelines
General Discussions is a place for you to chew the fat, cogitate and chat about topics that don't really fit elsewhere within SitePoint Forums.It's a place where active discussion is encouraged on most subjects although no politics or religious discussion is allowed.
To maintain a healthy discussion and get away from the stale odour of ripe spam or the tepid waters of account priming we are introducing some guidelines.If you start a thread in General Discussion then you should at least tell us why and give the discussion a starting point!For example instead of posting - "Who is your favourite singer....." and then nothing else, tell us who YOUR favourite singer is and WHY.
We prefer threads vaguely related to computers/web/design/development etc, if they aren't but are still entertaining, thought provoking or useful then they can stay!After all we aren't setting out any sad, hippy laws or running a totalitarian state
Games threads are actively encouraged too; some of the best General Discussion threads are games.Example True or False
Please, no garbage threads. I dont care if your butt looks big or a naff jacket for your wife ended up in the divorce courts! A good example of a garbage thread would be this one: Best day of your life?. The original poster has posed the question with no real intent and never returned to the thread to discuss any replies, nor did they give an example of their best day or explain why.
If you post like that then it will be removed.
Any questions?[B]UPDATE:I have decided now that we can happily live without the "What's your favourite ......." threads too so please don't start any of those.
Ta :)[/B]
Is me posting Rubiks cube averages allowed (in attempts to get people to learn to solve, or at least get interested?)
Hey Ryan.We're definitely not the fun police, so post away. We just want to avoid fluff.
I think it is not good to post fluff and you should post real topic.
^I think these are what the change was meant to help against. =p
This means we can start posting our averages too? :lol:
Ya i totally agreed with saminine you guys should post real topic..
Hmmmm... I think there might be a point being missed here.
In the words of Stomme - LAWLZ!
At least they agreed. =D
What's the fun in posting a serious topic...? There are way too many in every other area of this forum
:rofl:I agree with you spikeZ!Somebody didn't get it, but, still, managed a gold piece of involuntary humour!
Ryan, I have a suggestion for you. Why don't you combine the two: use web dev to explain how the Rubik can be solved.
For a project in OpenGL on one of my master's exams, I've made a simple tutorial on how to solve the Wooden Cross Puzzle: Wooden Cross Puzzle Solution | Game Video Spot (this is not the OpenGL version I made, obviously :lol:).
I believe HTML5 and CSS3 are enough now for you to make it interesting for a general topic on a tech forum, and still be able to talk about your hobby: solving and excelling at solving the Rubik's cube.
At this point in time with so much information on the web, I have nothing new to contribute, and quite frankly, others can explain topics such as solving a Rubiks cube, much better then me.
I've tried teaching my girlfriend, and many ex's, along with friends, and all except one have been failures (granted, the successful person was smart)
That may be true, but I do believe browser's 3D and canvas are not yet exhausted means to illustrate Rubik's cube wonder, is it?
It would actually make a pretty good web dev topic, these days.
What types of topic we can discuss in the "General Discussion" forum? Would you please mention it?
Any type of topic is welcome except for political and religious discussions which are not allowed in the forums.
Personally, I hate threads like "your favourite..." but even those are accepted if you explain the reasons.
As an example, saying "my favourite song is the_name_of_song_here" is not good. Much better is saying "my favourite song is the_name_of_song_here because it was the song that I litsened when I was doing this and that and reminds me of..." or "because I love the sound of this and that instrument", etc.
In summary, expand a bit.
Thank you molona, for you nice formal instruction. I try to my best to follow your instruction.
Hello guys! Why you are so strict???) I think there should be different kind of topics. And, we need to have as general as specific themes, threads as well!
We aren't that serious. Basically, if the thread has any real substance, it's perfectly accepted.
What we want to avoid is people making super vague one line statements in an attempt to simply raise their post count.
We want members to contribute. =)
I completely agree with you , we should post some real things , so that our post will be of great help for others , fake post is disgusting at some point , so i request everyone to put up true facts and figures.

In Threes: Abby Wambach
What's it going to be? Door number one, door number two, or door number THREE?!? Okay, so this section has less to do with "Let's Make A Deal" and more to do with the Multiple Choice section of an SAT test. "In Threes" peeks inside the head of a select National Team player as they pick one of three choices for 25 questions about personal tastes and pop culture.
Abby Wambach has been all over the place in her many years playing amateur, college, pro and international soccer. The youngest of seven children, the 23-year-old started making a name in her hometown of Rochester, N.Y., where she was a standout at the high school level and captain of the Rochester Spirit club team. Then it was off to Gainesville, Fla., where she went on to post all-time school records in goals (96), assists (49), game-winning goals (24) and hat tricks (10). So it was no surprise when she was made the second overall pick in the 2002 WUSA by the Washington Freedom, where she promptly won Rookie of the Year honors and was a key part of the team's improbable run to the league final.
Last year was also a big year for Abby at the international level. After helping the USA to a Nordic Cup championship as an Under-21 in 2001, the 5'10" forward burst onto the scene for the full Women's National Team with five goals and four assists in just 357 minutes of action in 2003. With a pair of serious injuries to two U.S. attackers earlier in the year, Abby now has an even better chance to make a big impact on the team's success at the FIFA Women's World Cup USA 2003 just two months from now. For now, she answers our rapid-fire questions about some of her favorites in life.
Favorite place that you've lived: Rochester, N.Y., Gainesville, Fla., or D.C.?
Best area in D.C. to paint the town red: Adams Morgan, Georgetown or The Hill?
"I'd say Adams Morgan, because it's pretty diverse. You can have college kids or young professionals. People from many different walks of life end up there."
Favorite D.C. tourist attraction: Washington monument, The Smithsonian or The White House?
"The monument, because it's fun to go to The Mall and look at the stars."
Best date activity: Dinner and a movie, comedy club or meeting out for drinks?
"Dinner and a movie, but then definitely for drinks."
Favorite leisure activity while on the road with the team: grab a movie, hit the mall or lay out?
"Lay out, because I am not really big into shopping."
Worst male soccer player haircut: the Agoos ponytail, the Valderrama blonde afro or the 80's indoor soccer mullet (aka the "soccer rocker")?
Favorite soccer kick: PK, free kick or corner kick?
"I'll go with a corner kick, because I have the most chance to score on one of those."
Biggest U.S. WNT legend: Michelle Akers, Mia Hamm or Kristine Lilly?
"They are all legends. They have all contributed more to the game of women's soccer than possibly could be measured or gauged."
Best patriotic soccer team name: Freedom, Revolution or Spirit?
"The Freedom, of course. Next question."
Second best women's team in CONCACAF: Canada, Mexico or the USA bench?
"I'll go with the USA bench, because sometimes I'm on it. Canada has a great team, but we really have some talent and depth on the USA in this era."
Tallest U.S. WNT forward: Cindy Parlow, Danielle Fotopolous or yourself?
"It's actually me. CP is listed at 5-foot-11, and I'm listed at 5-foot-10, but for some reason I think I've grown recently."
Best Thursday night NBC sitcom in re-runs: "Cheers," "Seinfeld" or "Friends"?
"'Friends,' because it makes me laugh. I love to laugh."
Best late night talk show: "Tonight Show," "Late Show" or "Daily Show"?
"I like the 'Late Show.' Dave's the most real out of all of them."
Favorite MTV reality show: "Real World," "Road Rules" or "Sorority Life"?
"'Real World,' for sure. I watch it religiously. I don't know enough about the Paris cast yet to form my opinions. Maybe in a few weeks."
Funniest current Thursday night NBC sitcom: "Friends," "Will & Grace" or "Scrubs"?
"It's a tie between 'Friends' and 'Will & Grace.' Nothing is funnier than 'Friends,' but 'Will & Grace' is always clever and witty."
Favorite movie genre: action, comedy or drama?
"I'll go with drama. 'The Hours' was excellent. I like the dark, artsy type films."
Favorite Charlie's Angel: Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz or Lucy Liu?
"Demi Moore. She used to be an Angel."
Funniest female actress: Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon or Sandra Bullock?
"Julia Roberts. She always seems to be laughing naturally and is just great on the big screen."
Hottest young Hollywood hunk: Ashton Kutcher, Josh Hartnett or Colin Farrell?
"Colin Farrell, because he's a bad boy. And I like that accent."
Favorite type of non-American food: Mexican, Italian or Chinese/Asian?
"Mexican. I just really like spicy food. You can get some good Mexican in D.C."
Best late-night food/snack: burrito, slice or gyro?
"Burrito from Chipotle. It's not even close."
Better dessert: Cake, ice cream or pie?
"Ice cream. Cookies and Cream will always suffice."
Best burger-and-fry fast food: McDonald's, Burger King or Wendy's?
"I'm not big on the whole fast food thing, but if I was starving, I'd probably go for Burger King, but McDonald's is getting healthier burgers, so it's a toss up."
Best American-invented condiment: ketchup, ranch dressing or spray imitation butter?
"Ketchup. I think it was invented for French fries."

What Are We Smoking?
Safe-T-Alert Marine Smoke Alarm
By Capt. John McDevitt
As explained in the article, there is no UL standard for marine smoke alarms (yet), but this battery-powered device meets the standard for RV alarms, and hence the Coast Guard regulations for passenger vessels. It features a mute button with automatic reset so you won't be tempted to disable it if set off by overdone toast or a cigar. The $15 Safe-T-Alert is also a petite four inches in diameter and comes with a handy mounting bracket.

Increasing STEM Diversity & Success
The Schools of Science and Engineering at IUPUI have created numerous programs aimed at increasing the number and diversity of students pursuing STEM Careers.
Central Indiana Science Talent Expansion Project (NSF CI-STEP)
- Funded by a $2 million NSF grant, this program targets STEM student success at IUPUI by coordinated efforts involving 17 departments in the School of Science and the School of Engineering & Technology at IUPUI, as well as at Ivy Tech Community College.
- Yearly goals include a 10% increase in STEM graduation rates, which will result in over 750 additional IUPUI STEM graduates by 2015.
- The program expands on successful efforts for undergraduate student success at IUPUI such as the Freshman Work Program, the Life-Health Science Internship (LHSI), and the many CRL (Center for Research and Learning) research opportunities for Science undergraduates.
- Impact: new Women in Science House (WISH) STEM Summer Bridge, new Science Career Development Services (CDS), new Physics Learning Space (PhyLS), expanded efforts in Peer Mentoring, undergraduate research, and on-line student support.
Bridges to the Baccalaureate Program: NIH funded program that brings underrepresented minority students from Ivy Tech Community College to IUPUI to engage in research projects with IUPUI faculty in Science, Engineering, Medicine, Informatics, and other units. The grant also provides individual mentoring, specialized programming, and other academic and social support services to these students, in an effort to increase the diversity of students pursuing a career in the biomedical sciences.
Undergraduate Research Mentoring in the Biological Sciences (URM) Program: Designed to broaden participation of African Americans, Hispanic Americans and members of other groups historically underrepresented in science in undergraduate research and will provide them with the experience and expertise needed to succeed in doctoral programs leading to basic research careers in the biological sciences.
Diversity Scholars Research Program (DSRP): Highly competitive, performance-based, annually-renewable fellowship program focusing on active learning through hands-on research and scholarship.
Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP): Funded by the National Science Foundation, is designed to broadening the participation of underrepresented minority students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines.
