Independent Model
Q: What does being a "curvy" model mean to you?
To be a curvy model means to represent a shapely women with hips. It means being true to myself and understanding that I like the greater masses have a face and body to relate to. Bear in mind I come from a family/culture that embraces looking healthy, period. It clicked when my grandma once said to me a woman having a little pouch was a real woman! In Africa being curvy is a beautiful thing. It's not associated with negative connotation often projected and imposed in the US or other continents.
Q: What or whom inspires you the most?
My mom inspires me because she is a bad ass woman.. she is sharp, most importantly she's a survivor, moving to the US in pursuit of a better life, we endured struggles. My mom raised four girls alone, over came language barrier, managed to finish college and now stands a well respected political influence, a representative of ECOWAS Parliament.. When she walks in a room her presence is felt.. She's smart, charming, stylish, & full figured.. I learned at a young age that being clean, coordinated & presentable was not determined by dollar amount nor size but comes from your inner richness.
Q: Where are your favorite places to shop?
My favorite place to shop interestingly enough shopping is not my favorite thing to do however when I need something it comprises of mix of stores as it's not easy to find every piece in one store and that fits perfectly.. I like Torrid, Ashley Stewart, Forever 21, Macy's, boutique's, and pieces sent from overseas just to name a few.
Q: What is your fashion "weakness?"
My fashion weakness is when I find something I like I want to wear it to death.. Lol I'm a skirt girl.. so I want to wear skirts throughout the winter.. Thank God for tights.
Q: What advice would you give to any new or aspiring "curvy" models?
My advice for aspiring curvy models is that we are not all made meant to be the same so embrace and represent their true selves. Be your own business woman and recognize your lives have a purpose beyond self and when we understand it will drive all aspects of our lives including modeling. Also, confidence, good health & style come in different shades, shapes, & ages.. so have vision, faith, stay positive and await the universe to align with one another!

CND Creative Nail Design Nail Colour
CND Creative Nail Design Nail Colour Reviews
Great stuff!To try out the latest metallic nail trend, I sampled #135 Iced Cappuccino, a light coppery brown that was used regularly at fashion week. While the color is pretty, it is a little too close to my NC30 Asian skin tone. I like polishes with a bit more contrast to my skin tone so I would recommend this color for someone with a lighter or darker complexion. The texture, however, is very smooth and app...read morelication is streakless! All you need is 3 strokes - one down the middle and two on the sides - and the polish will settle evenly by itself. It also dries within a minute (definitely a plus for me) and wears well without chipping for over a week. I have always been an OPI and MAC kind of girl when it comes to nail polishes but I will definitely be adding some CND to my collection now! — 8 years, 2 months agoMakeupForLife | 24 reviews

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/8/2014 (1096 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
'Reliable' is an adjective that gets thrown around a lot to describe Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
Critics have long marvelled at the band's consistency, and rightly so; over 38 years and 13 studio albums, Petty and his Heartbreakers — most of which have been with him since 1976, by the way — have turned out dependably great songs.
That consistency isn't just reserved for the records, either; it extends to their live show — a meat and potatoes rock 'n' roll affair that places emphasis on workmanlike performances and peerless musicianship.
The Heartbreakers have played thousands of shows to millions of people; they've got this down. Many veteran classic rock acts still head out on greatest-hits nostalgia tours or disingenuous 'farewell' laps. The shows, if fans are lucky, are still quality; and even if they're not, well, it's easily forgiven. (Nothing makes one lie to oneself quite like a three-digit ticket price.)
But that's not what a Tom Petty show is. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have done what many of their peers have not. They've stayed relevant.
Tom Petty has been there for us. His songwriting crosses generations, a point underscored by the mix of ages that braved the torrential rain for Thursday night's gig at the MTS Centre (official attendance was not available at press time.) The band is touring in support of this year's Hypnotic Eye — the band's first number one album and another collection of could-be classics. Still, while there's been a hard push on the album — everyone who bought a ticket to the show got a copy of it — the hits were not neglected.
Taking the stage just after 9 p.m., Petty, wearing a giant grin and rocking a beard, kicked things off with a bright rendition of the Byrds' So You Want To Be a Rock 'n Roll Star before heading right into Mary Jane's Last Dance. When he strummed those familiar opening strains, the crowd went absolutely wild. The Heartbreakers — Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, Ron Blair, Scott Thurston and Steve Ferrone — play with a languid, loose-limbed ease; their performances are effortless.
"We're going to play some hits, we're going to play some new stuff, and we're going to go deep into some albums," Petty promised, before launching into the angst-rocker American Dream Plan B from Hypnotic Eye. The raw, ragged new material went over pretty well — musically speaking, anyway. There were a few front-row folks who were super into it; others were likely merely tolerating it as is the case at shows by artists with big, decade-spanning catalogues.
Still, as good as the new stuff is (it really is), it just didn't connect with the audiences the way the ol' chestnuts did. Petty is no dum-dum; he made sure to follow up another new one, Forgotten Man, with the familiar: the anthemic I Won't Back Down and a gorgeous performance of Free Fallin', that served as a reminder that we were in the presence of a master songwriter.
What's striking about Petty is how appreciative he looks; he honestly looks a little amazed that people are singing his words back to him — and not in a put-on Taylor Swift kind of way. It feels genuine.
There were some covers, too, including The Monkees' (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone. That was followed up with A Woman In Love (It's Not Me). Based on setlists from other stops on this tour, Winnipeg was treated to some different cuts.
If there was one flaw in the show, however, it was in the pacing. There are only so many mid-tempo rockers you can hear in a row before it all starts to drag a little; peaks and valleys are always preferable to a plateau. Still, that's a small complaint. There were some truly stunning performances, including Rebels and Learning to Fly, which elicited a crowd sing along.
At some arena shows, you can count costume changes; at this show, you could count guitars (I lost track after five). The latter half of the set was defined by sprawling Mike Campbell solos (Shadow People) and big, Zeppelin-esque rockers (I Should Have Known It). The band closed the main set with Runnin' Down a Dream, before returning promptly for an encore that included You Wreck Me and a spirited performance of American Girl which was met by a floor full of completely unselfconscious air drummers. And it was great. Just as it always is.
English bluesman Steve Winwood — a longtime tourmate of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers — opened the show with a tight set that started strong with a high-energy version of I'm A Man, his 1966 hit with the Spencer Davis Group.
At 66, Winwood's still got the pipes as he proved on a soulful performance of Can't Find My Way Home. His nine-song set drew from all over his prolific career, but it was heavy on material from his Traffic days — including Medicated Goo, Empty Pages and the soaring Dear Mr. Fantasy. The band — arranged in a cozy little semi-circle, like teenagers trying to fit in a basement jam space — wasn't afraid to stretch out on some songs, as on the slinky acid jazz number Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. The interplay between these players was a thrill to watch. They closed, of course, with Gimme Some Lovin'.

France's original appellation, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, is suddenly the wine to watch thanks to a new generation of vignerons who have joined the traditions of the southern Rhône with modern techniques from other regions to create a run of remarkable vintages dating from 1998 (save for '02). Châteauneuf (the hip drop du-Pape) now produces some of the most distinctive and age-worthy wines in France.
The recent sea change in Châteauneuf is all the more interesting as this rural area made up of several soil types is known to be staunchly traditional. The region was first planted in the fourteenth century (Châteauneuf-du-Pape means "new house of the pope" and refers to a summer palace used by the Avignon papacy), and while the winemakers have been slow to change, the wines had been inconsistent before this new era.
Fashioned from blending wines (Grenache predominates, but 13 grape varieties, including Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and even whites can be used), the wines are mouth-filling and loaded with red and black fruits backed by tar, tobacco, herb and mineral flavors. Typically high in alcohol, thanks to the southern Rhône's warm, dry conditions, they achieve elegance through their acidity. Grilled beef or lamb, and perhaps a truffle or two on the side, makes a perfect match. Some suggestions follow:
The long-standing and highly respected Brunier family created a hefty 17,000 cases of the Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau 2003 made from vineyards covered in the large rolled stones that are the trademark of the appellation. This is a rich, gravelly textured wine that needs a few years in the cellar. A blue-chip estate that was rated 93 in Wine Spectator, Cigar Aficionado's sister publication, and retails for $45.
More accessible when young is the Paul Autard Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2003 (92, $35), which pumps out boysenberry, mocha and spice flavors—with 4,000 cases made, it should also be relatively easy to find.
Trophy hunters should look for the Roger Sabon & Fils Châteauneuf-du-Pape Prestige 2003 (95, $65). It's a classic example of the appellation and vintage with its dense raspberry, plum, licorice, tar and bacon notes all supported by thick, muscular tannins. Only 1,250 cases.

Indian Olympic Committee secretary general Rajeev Mehta has reportedly been arrested in Glasgow.
Indian media reported that Mehta and Indian wrestling referee Virender Singh Malik were both arrested over separate alleged incidents on Saturday night and were being held in custody in the Commonwealth Games host city.
Scotland Police on Sunday confirmed the arrests of two men, aged 49 and 45, in the city centre and the city's west.
They were expected to appear in Glasgow Sheriff Court on Monday.
The Indian high commission in London told The Times of India: "We have learnt about the detention of two members of the Commonwealth contingent by the local (Glasgow) police.
"Our consulate in Edinburgh has deputed an official to Glasgow to keep in close touch with the police to ascertain full facts of the case. We are also in touch with the team."


text: Abdulkerim, a former Christian, explains his process of meeting with Islam and becoming a Muslim as; "I grew up in a Christian family. I had no idea about Islam. One day, I watched a video which explains the proofs of Allah's existence on a website. The video includes that Allah has created mountains and like pegs, they have deep roots embedded in the ground. The video also explains about the Earth"s distance from the Sun. If this were any greater, the planet would grow very cold. If the Earth were any closer to the Sun, it would burn up. All these details are created by Allah and led me to become a Muslim."

• boondoggle •
Pronunciation: bun-dah-gêl • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. A cord of braided leather or plastic used to decorate saddles and Boy Scout uniforms, the creation of which some see as busywork. 2. A pork barrel project, a useless project that is a waste of time and/or money. The latest term in Washington today is "an earmark", i.e. a project in a bill earmarked to bring money to a legislator's district for a project of questionable value.
Notes: This word is clearly a frontier concoction from US English, so we wouldn't expect much in terms of derivations. A person who boondoggles is a boondoggler who engages in boondoggling. That's about it.
In Play: The scientific projects supported by the National Science Foundation are often perceived as boondoggles by the media: "Ira, don't you think that your idea for nuclear hand grenades might be taken as a boondoggle—even in Washington?" But boondoggles are not limited to Washington; they are all around us: "That job of Ally Katz as manager of rodent control is nothing but a boondoggle so long as she is chasing rats in the literal sense of the word." And remember: even the Boy Scouts have their boondoggles!
Word History: No one knows exactly where today's Good Word comes from. It is clearly a US nonce word whose silliness ingratiated it into our vocabulary. Prior to 1935 today's Good Word was simply a synonym of gadget, widget, thingamajig, or whatchamacallit. The Boy Scouts began using this word around in the mid to late 20s in reference to a strap of braided leather or plastic strips used to hold keys and the like to their uniforms (see picture above). Braiding such straps was seen as a waste of time, so boondoggle became the word for wasting effort on a useless task. The word then moved to Washington, where it became the word for the waste of time and money in government agencies. From there, it spread throughout the English-speaking world.

HOUSTON - December is a time for giving, and that's just what Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson did on Tuesday.
Johnson took 12 local children in need on a Toys R Us for a shopping spree.
In just 80 seconds, carts were filled with toys and electronics.
"A dream house, a horse, Rapstar, dream light," Makena Fruia said she put in her basket.
Ladavion Stringer was excited to grab toys for him and his siblings.
"Stuff for my brothers and sisters. I like to read a lot," he said
For Jeff Schultz and his family of 6, it was a day to remember.
"My wife lost her job and Christmas was looking bleak," Schultz said.
Johnson said this was probably the Christmas event he looks forward to the most. He said it's better to give than to receive.
If you'd like to play Santa to a needy child, Children's Protective Services would appreciate your help. It has received more than 9,400 holiday gift requests from children in their care. If you'd like to donate, visit bearesourcehouston.org.

DETROIT - When Detroit City Council rejected the deal to have the state operate Belle Isle, it cost the city $6 million.
Neighborhoods like the one near Romanowski Park in Southwest Detroit will soon pay the price.
Romanowski Park is among the 50 city parks that Mayor Bing says will close.
The 313-Propect worked with volunteers and residents to reclaim the park from disrepair last summer.
"We were blindsided, it was such a work of love" said Aisa Villarose Berg co-founder of the 313-Propect. "To hear that the city is turning its back on something that took thousands of volunteer hours to create is really heartbreaking."
"We built 13 picnic tables, 10-feet long. We installed grills, we installed bike racks, we re-painted the play structure which was previously almost burnt to the ground," said Berg.
Closing the park doesn't mean the city will put walls up to keep visitors out, but it means the city will no longer maintain the grounds.
The park's 2o6 acres won't see repairs, there will be no lawn mowing or trash pickups.
Residents who call the park a refuge for children say if the city abandons the park, they will take up the challenge.
"We would love the city to help, but we are prepared to keep the park going. We have really done to much work to see this die and to see the sense of community die. It's going to take a bit of effort to keep up, but we need to," said Berg. "We can't let this community down."

The Intellectual Property (IP) focus area centers around the three main federal legal means for protecting and exchanging proprietary rights in intangibles: federal patent, copyright and trademark law. It also covers state laws such as unfair competition, trade secret law, employee restrictive covenants and other private legal rights. Combined and applied to artistic and scientific creations, these legal regimes structure the entertainment and high-tech sectors of the global economy. Considered an essential cornerstone of modern legal practice, IP also implicates the access, distribution, preservation and transformation of cultural forms and practices.
By focusing on IP, students should develop the following basic competencies before graduation:
Like the other focus areas, the IP focus area will provide students with an in-depth look rather than a superficial survey of this particular area of the law. It neither purports to cover all the knowledge students may need to practice competently nor does it guarantee that the student will end up practicing in this area. In addition to the core IP classes described here, students are advised to take additional courses in business law, civil litigation and commercial law; moreover, students must understand that formal legal education provides a foundation for lifelong learning in the law.
Because IP is sufficiently complex and specialized (both legally and occasionally technically), a student's commitment to this focus area should be preceded by an assessment of the realistic likelihood of practicing the intellectual property area. IP is not limited to those with a technical background: English or even art majors can practice successfully in this area. Indeed, the artistic and technological sides of IP are rapidly converging; this is most evident in the medium of the Internet. And even those students who do not anticipate IP as a primary practice focus may benefit from studying this focus area, provided that the student is ready and willing to learn about the technical aspects. IP is increasingly considered to be a practice area that should be familiar to all competent general practitioners, not just to specialists. Please note that IP students need not have a science or engineering background unless a student anticipates sitting for the patent bar examination (required for prosecuting patent applications). Many successful IP practitioners do not have a science background and did not have IP curriculum when they attended law school!

Students must take the Intellectual Property survey class and at least two of the following courses: Copyright Law, Patent and Trade Secret Law, or Trademark Law. Together, these second and third year courses introduce students to the basic tools needed to explore more sophisticated topics in IP in the third year.
In order to complete the IP focus, students will also be required to take one skills class and three courses from a list of electives over the spring semester second year and the third year. The electives include the three foundational courses (Trademark, Copyright, and Patent Law), as well as the list of courses at the end of the document. Any one of the foundational classes that are not used to satisfy the second year foundational requirements can be credited towards the elective requirement. For example, the two-credit Copyright Law class can be taken as an elective course requirement as long as the student has taken both Intellectual Property and one of either the Patent and Trade Secret Law or Trademark Law classes. This flexibility in course requirements will allow students the maximum design latitude, in order to complete the focus area successfully while enrolling in important non-focus area courses.
Please note that the survey Intellectual Property course is a prerequisite for most of the courses in the focus area and should be taken in the fall of the second year if possible.
For the required skills component, students may choose from among several IP lab courses. An intellectual property externship or clinic will also fulfill the skills requirement.
Plan the completion of your focus area with a focus area tracking form.
To recap, in order to complete a focus in Intellectual Property law, students would take the following:
The IP Focus Area also works with bar associations, local IP firms, student organizations and scholarship providers, and other schools to bring our students various co-curricular activities and opportunities. The IP Focus Area sponsors an annual meet and greet with the Intellectual Property Section of the Washington State Bar Association. It sponsors public lectures on current intellectual property issues by nationally recognized scholars in the field. It assists and supports the Seattle University Intellectual Property Law Society (IPLS), whose primary purpose is to provide a forum for Seattle University students who are interested in Intellectual Property (IP) and wish to learn more about the practice of IP. The IP Focus Area, together with the IPLS, provides various educational events ranging from Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminars to career panels comprised of local IP practitioners.
In addition to these events, the IP Focus Area works to identify and develop various scholarship opportunities for our students such as the Seed IP Law Group Founders Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded each year to a Seattle University law student with a strong interest in the field of intellectual property law. The Seed IP Law Group is one of the top-rated intellectual property law firms in the United States. The scholarship honors the firm's founders, Dick Seed and Ben Berry, for their contributions to the law of intellectual property. As expressed by Bill Ferron of the Seed IP Law Group, "We think it's very important to train the next generation of intellectual property attorneys so that we can continue to build on the legacy started by Ben Berry and Dick Seed. Only through strong support of higher education will our country continue to be a leader in the world." The scholarship recipient receives $5,000.00.
Each year the IP Focus Area faculty select a student to receive the Washington State Bar Association Intellectual Property Section (WSBA IPS) Scholarship. This $1000 scholarship is awarded to a student with a demonstrated commitment to practicing in some area of intellectual property law, such as intellectual property litigation, transactional work or patent prosecution.
Each year the IP Focus Area faculty also nominate an outstanding third-year law student who has demonstrated excellence in the area of intellectual property law for the Jan Jancin Award in Intellectual Property Law. The award is administered by the American Intellectual Property Law Education Foundation (AIPLEF) on behalf of the American Bar Association – Intellectual Property Law Section, the American Intellectual Property Law Association and the AIPLEF. The award honors the late Jan Jancin, who served as President of AIPLA and Chair of the ABA-IPL Section. The award is currently $5,000.

Well, it looks like the weaning is going very well with my new Indian Ringneck and he will be coming home Sunday as long as he stays on schedule with his weaning.
He has been weaned and they just want to keep him one full week before sending him to his new home to make sure he maintains his wait and if everything goes as planned he will finally be coming home on Sunday.
Tuesday I was there as my new Cockatiel I got was ready to go home and while I was there I had another visit with the IRN and it was an excellent visit! I am very excited and hoping that everything goes as planned and he WILL be able to come home Sunday. Just thought I would share the good news!

Greatest AreaTrick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
A farmer challenges an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician to fence off the largest amount of area using the least amount of fence.
The engineer made his fence in a circle and said it was the most efficient.
The physicist made a long line and said that the length was infinite. Then he said that fencing half of the Earth was the best.
The mathematician laughed at the others and with his design, beat the others. What did he do?
AnswerThe mathematician made a small fence around himself and declared himself to be on the outside.

HOUSTON - The 2013 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has wrapped up, but we're still talking chickens. More and more Houston area families are raising them right in their own back yards, in an effort to eat locally-grown, natural foods.
It's a trend that's about to get even more popular thanks to a change in city ordinances.
Billie Stafford is not new to caring for chickens. Her mother had chickens growing up and now this Bellaire grandmother has 15 hens of her own.
"It's actually not much work. You feed them in the morning and feed them in the evening, give them fresh water and fresh feed. She gets to enjoy fresh eggs daily. So does her family, neighbors and friends."
Stafford said she gets anywhere from 8 to 15 fresh eggs every day. She has an elaborate hen house. Her neighbors don't mind, and neither do Amanda Knox's neighbors.
Although Knox's hens aren't old enough to produce eggs yet, they will any day now.
"I saw Food, Inc. and it kind of changed my life," Knox said.
Right now in the city of Houston, residents can't have hens in their yard unless they are at least 100 feet away from their neighbor. But the group Hens for Houston is working to change that.
"Basically, we're at a really opportune moment where a lot of cities are focused on sustainability, kind of a local, more locally-driven movement," founder Claire Krebs
The city is working with Krebs and Hens for Houston to make changes.
"We've seen a real explosion of great homegrown organic, local, real creative movement in our food here in town and this is definitely an extension of that," said Chris Newport with the Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care.
A new ordinance could ease the restrictions on having hens, not roosters since they make too much noise and aren't needed to have eggs.
"Essentially we're looking at a way to permit the activity that would essentially allow us that if you demonstrate that you aren't able to keep hens responsibly or in a way that doesn't impose a cost on one of your neighbors, than the city would have the ability to revoke the person's right to keep hens," explained Newport.
The city of Houston does get about 1,300 complaints a year about chickens and roosters, mostly when they get on someone else's property. It's ultimately up to the City Council whether to allow Houstonians to keep hens with fewer restrictions. Bellaire currently allows residents to raise hens.

The continued preponderance of celebs at the couture show in Paris this week – Sigourney Weaver, Chloë Moretz, Jessica Alba, Rosamund Pike and Noomi Rapace, among others (left) at Dior; Hilary Swank and Uma Turman at Armani; Charlene, Princess of Monaco and Olivia Munn at Versace; Rita Ora at Chanel – has got me thinking about the expectation this has raised, and how that can backfire for a brand. And no, I'm not talking about the usual problem of celebs behaving badly.
I'm talking about the fact that these relationships have become so common and so public, that now when we see a star in pretty much anything branded, there is an assumption there's a contractual relationship there. And a contractual relationship implies approbation and shared values. At our recent Business of Luxury conference in New York, Lisa Jacobson, head of branding for United Talent Agency, said there were "maybe" five celebs in Hollywood that didn't want a relationship with a brand, and the endorsement contract had become a significant part of most stars' income.

An important component of ensuring the safety and security of students, faculty, staff, and guests to our campus is addressing threats and potential for violent behavior. Situations can and do arise here at the U or anywhere that raise concerns about the potential for the threat of harm to individuals or larger numbers of people. As with all issues of personal safety, we all have a role to play in creating an environment that is not hospitable to threatening behavior. Should you witness an event or circumstances that raise your concern about a potential for threat to safety to you or others, take the following steps:
Administrators, supervisors, and other responsible campus officials who believe there is an emerging potential threat to someone's safety should consult with any one of the following campus staff members who can provide further assistance:

Even while typing this comment the comment box has scrolled down and I had to scroll to click "POST COMMENT". Selecting text or links is also a pain when it scrolls away from the mouse pointer.
Also having to scroll down to then scroll up to read in chronological order is also weird... Reply
melgross - Wednesday, September 19, 2012 - linkMy first comment seems to have disappeared, and it had me log in again. What gives? I wonder if this one will show up.
My comment involved the wrapped around Gorilla glass. Are they saying that the entire back is covered in Gorilla glass? If so, these will be the most breakable phones yet. Reply
falko2904 - Thursday, September 20, 2012 - linkI believe they are saying, and it looks like it in the illustration that the gorilla glass on the face is slightly wrapped around the 4 edges of the phone. The Nokia has the glass wrapped slightly around the side edges, where this also wraps them top and bottom edges or sides. The back is not glass. Reply
B3an - Wednesday, September 19, 2012 - linkNot bad but don't really compare to the Lumia 920 - Nokia apps, PureView, wireless charging, better design, bigger battery, the touchscreen works with gloves on and is slightly higher res too (1280x768). Unlike a certain cupertino company Nokia know how to innovate. Reply

Salvy's jack in ninth stings Rays in rubber game
All-Star catcher's three-run shot has just enough juice to rescue KC
ST. PETERSBURG -- Going ... going ... but was it gone?
Nobody was quite sure after Salvador Perez lofted a high fly ball down the left-field line in the ninth inning on Wednesday night at Tropicana Field.
"I was standing at home plate and it looked like it might go foul," Perez said. "And I saw the left fielder [Brandon Guyer] just keep running and running. I thought he might catch it, maybe not."
The result was a three-run homer that gave the Royals a 5-4 victory in the rubber game with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Jarrod Dyson, scurrying back to third base, thought: "It looked like he was going to catch it at the wall."
"I didn't know," said manager Ned Yost, holding his breath in the dugout. "It looked like it was starting to hook a little bit. I wasn't sure if it was deep enough, but he hit it in the exact perfect spot."
Sure did. Perez's drive landed just beyond the wall, thumping loudly off an unused TV camera platform.
Closer Greg Holland pitched a perfect ninth with two strikeouts and the Royals finished their road trip with a 5-4 record. Now, they'll wrap up their pre-All-Star Game schedule with four games against first-place Detroit at Kauffman Stadium.
The Royals are 4 1/2 games behind the Tigers in the American League Central standings, so they can't quite catch them, but they can close the gap.
"That was a huge win for us tonight," Yost said. "That was the difference between being two games over (.500) or four games over. And being 4 1/2 games back, compared to being 5 1/2 games back. So it's definitely nice to have a little momentum going home for the last four games before the All-Star break. It's a lot better than the alternative."
Rays right-hander Alex Cobb was opposing the Royals for the first time since June 15, 2013, when Eric Hosmer's line drive struck him near the ear, caused a concussion and put the pitcher out for two months.
In the first inning, Cobb struck out both Dyson and Lorenzo Cain on three pitches each but his next delivery, to Hosmer, was deposited into the right field stands. It was Hosmer's fifth home run and his first since June 15 at Chicago.
The Royals loaded the bases with no outs against Cobb in the fourth inning, but they got just one run out of it. Then, in the bottom half of the inning, the Rays also loaded the bases. They got a lot more.
Royals rookie Yordano Ventura was within one strike of getting out of the jam. On the other hand, Rays rookie right fielder Kevin Kiermaier just needed one pitch for his first career grand slam. Kiermaier prevailed. He sent a 1-2 pitch sailing into the right-field seats for a very sudden 4-2 lead.
"It was a changeup," Ventura said. "I threw two changeups and he looked really bad so I tried to throw another one, but I hung it, and he was able to get a piece of it."
Big piece of it.
"I still was ready for the fastball -- he throws 100 [mph]," Kiermaier said. "I saw the changeup out of his hand relatively early and I was happy to put a good swing on it, and it was up in the zone."
That score held until the ninth, an inning that Dyson opened with a single off reliever Joel Peralta. Then, before Cain struck out, Dyson swiped second base and knocked himself dizzy in the process.
"I ran into his knee. He was kind of in front of the bag a little bit," Dyson said. "Thank God I'm all right. If I wasn't a tiger, I'd be down."
Then, Dyson took third base unchallenged and Hosmer drew a walk. Peralta was relieved by Kirby Yates, another right-hander. He made Perez swing weakly and miss his first pitch, a sinking fastball. Yates tried another one.
"It was a sinker again, but he left it up a little bit," Perez said. "The first one was down-and-in and the second was up-and-flat."
Boom. Off flew the ball, soaring high under the roof, with everyone transfixed.
"I knew he hit it pretty good. I was hoping for it to hook foul," Yates said. "I didn't think he hit it that far, but he hit it pretty good."
Just far enough.

- Code: Select all
a = []
start = input("Hello, my name is Eliza. What would you like to talk about? ")
while start != "Go away":
if "feel" in start:
start = input("""Do you often feel that way?
start = input("""Please go on.
Um yeah.. my code is to have an input in a loop, and it ends when the user writes "Go away"..then if the line has the word feel, then yeah the response should be "Do you often feel that way?"
if "i am <something>" is in the input, then the program should respond" How long have you been <something>?."
Otherwise, if none of these rules apply, Eliza should just print Please go on.
i don't know how to print for example the word after i am???
Mekire: Merged a quintuple post
If the input "<some words> me" appears in the line, the program should respond "<some words> ,no."
ALL THAT I DON't KNOW HOW TO DO IS TO PRINT <some words> or <something>
do i need to use lists????
Each line has to be converted to lower case
DO I NEED to use index on a list???

Art Exhibit at The Schoolhouse Theater and Gallery Changed to 3/7
The Schoolhouse Theater and Gallery will offer theatergoers and art enthusiasts alike a rare opportunity to view the works of two artists with studios in Croton Falls who present uniquely differing views of the world through their art. The work of Tom Christopher and Michael Mapes will be on exhibit March 7 through March 30 at The Schoolhouse, in conjunction with the stage production of Jon Robin Baitz' "Ten Unknowns," an explosive drama centered on an artist who rages against the commercialization of art.
Tom Christopher is an established artist who has exhibited in Europe, Asia and the United States. Christopher studied classical drawing and was influenced by Ward Kimball, the legendary Disney animator. After school, Tom went on to drawing portraits at Disneyland, automobiles for Motor Trend Magazine and creating posters for CBS Records. When he moved to New York in 1981, he was a courtroom artist for CBS News.
Christopher uses vibrant colors to portray the modern, urban scenes of Manhattan. Young people are particularly drawn to his work because it captures the pulse of the city. Doing his courtroom work, Christopher was tr ained to block out noise and to not listen to testimony as it was too distracting. Now, he takes the bits and pieces of conversations he overhears while sketching out his work to inspire him, often using those fragments as the titles of his work. All paintings on display at the Schoolhouse by Christopher are courtesy Greg Hubert Gallery, New York City. www.tomchristopher-art.com
Formally trained as a graphic designer, Michael Mapes worked for design studios in Chicago and New York City, moving to Croton Falls in 2010. In 1988, he formed the product development company MINC, where he created and produced conceptual T-shirts for retailers, direct mail catalogues and art museums.
In 2005, Mapes transitioned to studio art, and began creating work that reflects the intersection of art and entomological science. In much of his work, he dissects photographs of people and, using scientific materials such as insect pins, gelatin capsules and test tubes, constructs an artistic i nterpretation of the original subject. In each work, thousands of individual elements are contained in glass-faced wood boxes. According to Christopher Jobson of Slate, "The work exists in an uncanny area between photography and sculpture, functioning as both portraits and intricate scientific canvases that make you question the logic behind the organization of each piece."
Mapes is creating new work especially for the Croton Falls exhibit, including several pieces with human subjects connected to The Schoolhouse. He has upcoming exhibits in Rotterdam, Amsterdam and at Art Basel Switzerland.www.room62.com
Over the years, The New York Times has called The Schoolhouse Theater "Westchester's sole claim to consistent, professional theater, where people can see plays they are not likely to see elsewhere." The Schoolhouse is a regional Equity theater, dedicated to presenting professional theatrical performances by award-winning playwrights and to supporting and promoting oth er artistic and creative expression.
Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. through 3 p.m., evenings during theater performances, and by appointment. Tickets for "Ten Unknowns" are $33 for Thursday and Friday $35 for Saturday and Sunday performances and can be reserved by calling the box office at 914-277-8477. The Schoolhouse is located at 3 Owens Road, Croton Falls, NY, just off exit 8 on I-684. Visit the Schoolhouse on the web atwww.schoolhousetheater.org or "like" them on Facebook.

Technical coach David Kemp has revealed that Crystal Palace were impressed with Tom Ince when the defender held talks at Selhurst Park.
The England U21 international has held discussions with Swansea City, Sunderland, Hull City and Crystal Palace.
The 22-year-old was given permission to tout out his services by Blackpool after the club sacked his dad and manager Paul Ince.
As yet, his destination remains a mystery.
Kemp said: "We met Tom and his dad [Paul Ince] and we were very impressed with him, but unsursprisingly he wants to look at all the options available to him and make the decision that suits him best.
"We will have to wait and see."
He added: "Our players are keen for some new faces even if it means increased competition for places.
"That is part of football, there is no job security in this business, everyone accepts that.
"We want to improve and push on, and anyone that comes into the squad who makes us better will be welcomed."

Thank you so very much for the PERFECT guides! I tried Bumblebee, it just broke the kernel and wouldn't work right in BackTrack, and I couldn't get Cpyrit to work in Ubuntu 11.10... So pretty much boned without this post. Thanks again man.
So I got bbswitch and the drivers working great, I did find that I had to throw in a modprobe -r nvidia to get it to drop power consumption after I had used bbswitch <<<ON.
I'm assuming the Alienware you reference in this thread is the same machine as the one you reference in: this one? If that's the case, am I ok to apply "Graphics Driver fix" as well?
If anyone is interested in the scripts:
Code:#!/bin/bash modprobe -r nouveau modprobe -r nvidia modprobe bbswitch tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<OFFYes, -r nouveau is redundant once you start using them, but it doesn't seem to hurt anything and it makes it so I don't have to do things in particular order.Code:#!/bin/bash modprobe -r nouveau modprobe bbswitch tee /proc/acpi/bbswitch <<<ON
I added the off script to my startup programs just to boot up on the right foot. For some reason on my rig (Asus U30SD, similar to but weaker than Snafu777's Alienware), my battery consumption is around 20000mW on Nouveau, 11000 with bbswitch off, and 16000 with bbswitch on. So it looks like Nouveau is just the devil on at least some of these machines....
*don't forget the executable bit (chmod +x) if you use those scripts*
*edit* turns out that adding the <<<OFF script to my startup programs has a pretty cool side effect. My consumption idles right around 10000 mW, right from boot, and when I run pyrit benchmark it jumps up to 50000 mW during the bench mark and then drops back down to 10000.
So loading off, at least on my system seems to automate bbswitch just fine. Only difference I've really noticed is that it takes it a bit (5-10 seconds) to get up to full speed if I let it load automatically, so the short benchmark comes out a little bit lower than it does if I manually switch the nvidia drivers on before I start the test.

Awesome Stuff: Lenses For Your Phone
from the camera-advancement dept
- First up we've got an Anamorphic Adapter Lens for the iPhone. This is mainly designed for amateur or independent filmmakers, looking to create a look and feel that's more "filmlike" with a widescreen shot. The sample videos included in the pitch video below are pretty impressive. We've talked about people filming movies with their smartphones in the past, and a device like this makes it possible to make such a film seem even more professional.
- Next up, we've got the [BRIC+] zoom lens. It's actually much more than just a zoom lens. It also is a protective phone case and an extended battery for the phone. The zoom lens can then snap on magnetically to the case. The lens is a 3.5X optical lens, which isn't huge, but will always give you a higher quality zoom than the purely digital zooms found on most cameras today -- and of course, you can combine the optical zoom with the phone's zoom to go even further.
- Finally, we've got the iZZi Slim, an iPhone case that includes a series of rotating lenses, so you can quickly switch which lens you use on the fly. The iZZi includes a fisheye lens, a 2x telephoto lens, a wideangle lens and a macro lens for closeups (which is built into the wideangle lens -- you just snap off a piece to get to it). To be honest, the quality on these lenses don't look to be that great, but they still let you do more than the basic lens alone.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A murder suspect who was scheduled for arraignment Tuesday did not have a court hearing because he's in the hospital after being injured in a jail fight.
Peter Jensen, 23, who's accused of killing his 24-year-old wife with a shotgun, punched a corrections officer in the face and then pushed him Oct. 3, according to a police report.
The corrections officer was able to subdue Jensen, who was then transported to Shands Jacksonville Medical Center, according to the report.
Jensen was arrested in September in the death of Karina Jensen. Police said she was found shot to death in a garage apartment off Julington Creek Road, and Peter Jensen was found hiding naked under a nearby shed.
A witness told police the two were playing violent video games just before the killing.
Jensen was taken to Shands immediately after the killing to be treated for drug use, police said.

DETROIT (AP) -- Federal agriculture officials say they're spending $2 million to help farmers in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana keep phosphorus from entering waterways in the western Lake Erie basin.
The U.S. Agriculture Department says projects include using new tools such as biofilters and controlled drainage. Officials say excessive phosphorus from manure causes blue-green algae to proliferate in rivers and streams, limiting oxygen concentrations in water.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack plans to announce the effort Friday in the Monroe County community of Dundee.
The projects build on the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a larger plan to fix environmental problems in the lakes and their tributaries. The Great Lakes system contains nearly 20 percent of the world's fresh water.
Applications for funding are due at local Natural Resources Conservation Service offices by April 27.

In a competitive market place, it is important for you to be sure you are getting the best value for your investment. Price can range greatly, leaving homeowners very confused about their project. Basing your decisions on price alone can lead to poor workmanship and overall dissatisfaction. Some companies will be confident enough that you are getting the best value that they will offer and Assurance of Lowest Price. This guarantee states that if you find an identical enclosure built by a comparable company at a lower price, they will match the price. This "apples to apples" approach will allow a homeowner to compare the differences with not only the design of the enclosure but the material. installation and the warranty as well.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/4/2013 (1591 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
I think most of us have heard the old story about the little kid who was given a huge pile of horse manure for his birthday.
An eternal optimist, instead of being disappointed, the little guy just clambered on top of the gooey pile and began frantically digging, scoop by scoop, with his bare hands.
His parents, who probably should have been reported to child-welfare authorities, were perplexed. "What do you think you're doing?" they demanded.
The boy, beaming with sheer delight, looked at them and chirped: "With this much manure, there has to be a pony in here somewhere!"
Well, that apocryphal tale pretty much sums up how I feel about the fact that, even though the calendar says it's spring, we remain buried under a huge (bad word) pile of snow thanks to the Winter That Wouldn't Die.
On the surface, it's -- pardon me for being blunt -- kind of crappy, but if you dig far enough beneath the frozen surface, you'll find a whole bunch of silver linings, such as...
1) For the foreseeable future, your tragic, ant-infested, weed-covered lawn, which has more bare patches than the Dalai Lama's head, looks just as pretty as all the manicured yards in your neighbourhood, the ones wherein teams of highly paid lawn professionals, manipulating their mowers like a precision drill team, carve stylish diamond-shaped patterns into the grass;
2) The temperature is still so far below normal that, when your dog goes outside to deposit a small gift on the trails you've carved out of the frozen snow in the backyard, it will be roughly the same size and consistency as a standard hockey puck, meaning you can grab your stick and fire it against the garage door of your next-door neighbour, the jerk who borrowed your new wheelbarrow two summers ago and conveniently forgot to return it;
3) Your out-of-town in-laws, the ones who hate you, the ones who spend every waking hour reminding your spouse that she and/or he could have married an astronaut and/or supermodel, are definitely not coming to visit you any time soon, because they are time-sharing a condo in Palm Springs with their other kid, the one who was smart enough to get engaged to a doctor;
4) When you're lying on the couch, snarfing salsa directly from the jar and watching the NHL playoffs on your big-screen TV, you will not have to worry that your spouse is going to march in and demand you get your butt outside and help with the yardwork;
5) As far as science can tell, it is biologically impossible for mosquitoes, even if they are the size of Labrador retrievers and covered in a thick coat of fur, to hatch under our current climatological conditions;
6) Those high-tech golf balls you got for Christmas, the ones that cost more than a European sports car, are still sitting safely in their box by the door as opposed to being lost in the woods due to the fact that you play golf the same way the North Koreans test missiles, in the sense that whenever you launch a ball into space, you have absolutely no idea where it's going to come down;
7) It gives you one more thing to complain about, which is nice, because that's how we roll in Winnipeg;
8) No matter how bad winter gets next year, it will seem like a short walk in the (insert another bad word here) park compared to this one. If that's not a reason to live, I don't know what is.
Anyway, I have a lot more silver linings to share with you, but sadly we are out of space for today. But that's OK, because I hear we are going to get even more snow. So grab your shovels, kids, and start digging.
Because you never know when you're going to find a pony!

This image is a true color image of oxidized copper on a sapphire substrate. The vivid change in color is associated with changing thickness of the copper. The brighter snowflake shapes on the copper are grapheme that has begun to grow on the surface. Graphene is visible because it provides an oxidation barrier, sealing off the copper surface from the air during oxidation, leaving shiny copper underneath.

Newcastle United fans have long been starved for success, punished by eccentric owners, baffling decisions and under-achievement. However, they have never wanted for excellent shelter.
In November 2011, St James' Park became known as Sports Direct Arena after a new sponsorship agreement. However, thanks to the massive outpouring from the supporters of the club, a new company bought the rights in October 2012, and restored the old name.
St James' Park has grown from a modest base to become a beacon of the North-East of England, dominating the skyline in a manner befitting of a town which is intoxicated by football. At the turn of the millennium, double-tiers were added to the Milburn and Leazes stands at a cost of �40m, adding 15,000 to the capacity and bringing the stadium into line with the very best England has to offer.
Plans have also been mooted for a re-development of the Gallowgate End, raising the capacity even further to 60,000.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
This is a mark of standardised, pricey Premier League fare, with little space for originality. A pie and a drink will bring you little change from a �5 note. For something cheap but heart-warming you might want to indulge in a cup of Bovril - the quintessential half-time meal for the English football fan.
Ingrained in the stadium complex, Shearer's Bar (named after club legend and record goal scorer Alan Shearer) offers something a bit more up market. Pub grub, pool tables and various television screens are situated across a three-floor complex. Most main meals cost �5. A deal of two for �6.95 is also offered on select dishes. It's perfectly situated for a pre-match refreshment.
Luckily, as you will find out, many more exciting delights await outside the ground.
Uniquely for such a prominent Premier League club, St James' Park is the centrepiece of the city with everything else revolving around it. This makes for an excellent atmosphere as both the city and its one and only football team merge wonderfully. The club's famous black and white stripes are ubiquitous. This is a city that seems to be either watching football or talking about it seven days a week. The sense of occasion is never dimmed. Once in the ground, the enormity of the place speaks for itself - few cheap thrills and gimmicks are required. By the time the teams emerge to Mark Knopfler's "Local Hero", the heart rate certainly rises by a few beats.
The stadium's prominence in the city also means that you are only a short walk away from a smorgasbord of facilities. Adjacent to the ground is Stowell Street, better known as "China Town". Here you will find a mind-blowing array of Chinese eateries. Otherwise, the city centre is five minutes away. Finding something not to your taste is nigh-on impossible. Newcastle really cannot be matched for its convenience.
This is where Newcastle United Football Club is in its element. "Toon" fans have long been regarded as some of the most intransigent supporters in the country. In spite of a famine of success for decade after decade, support rarely shows any sign of declining. Away fans are placed in the Sir John Hall Stand. They have long spoken its unparalleled spaciousness which makes up for being seated in the Gods. Furthermore, Newcastle is one of the longest away trips generally, so you can often count on visiting support being at its most visceral, providing the edge that all great football matches need.
Few faults are to be found here. For long-distance fans, Newcastle airport is seven miles from the city centre. The train station is a ten minute walk from the ground.
Perhaps your simplest bet for travelling around the city is the metro system. A "Daysaver" ticket can be purchased for �3.50 which gives you unlimited travel. Alight at Monument station when going to the ground.
It is possible to park almost in the shadow of the stadium but you would be advised to find somewhere a little further out as the exiting masses will make driving near the stadium an unmitigated nightmare. You may want to consider the Park and Ride system - signposted as you enter Newcastle. This will allow you to deposit your car and take a metro service into the city centre, eliminating the pain.
Newcastle University provides a consummate guide for travel of all dimensions.
Once at the ground, do bear in mind that supporters in the top tiers will have to face football's version of Everest with seemingly endless flights of stairs. It is balanced out however by the extraordinary sense of accomplishment once you have wheezed your way to the top.
Newcastle's pricing is not out of touch with its contemporaries. A well-placed seat in the corner of the ground shouldn't be more than �30. Bearing in mind the vibrancy and breadth of facilities to be found in the city, boredom should be the least thing on your mind. Newcastle should be high on your list when considering Premier League venues to visit.
Programmes are available for �3, providing all the essential match-day information. Daily stadium tours are also offered at a price of �10 for adults and �7 for concessions. You will have to pay a little more if doing it on a matchday. Where things fall down is the lack of big screens in an otherwise modern football ground, save for a humble display of the allotted match time. Televisions are available on the concourses however, where you can watch the rest of the day's results arrive.

Soccer has never been better than at Sports Direct Arena, more commonly known as St James' Park. The arena has one of the more unique designs in sports and if you think you know that from looking at pictures, you don't. This arena has to be experienced live. The arena itself makes for a spectacular atmosphere and in combination with the fans you will have a very special experience.
As long as you have a map the arena is easy to get to, as it's located on walking distance from the heart of the city. Just by the arena you have two excellent bars/restaurants for pre-game. Shearer's is located in the same building as the stadium and The Strawberry is located right across the street.

February 3, 2014
They all can be found in "The Ladies Room, Carroll," a new book featuring more than three dozen businesswomen. They represent Carroll-area independent businesses ranging from one-person entrepreneurships to large, major business strongly rooted in the community's history. One thing they all have in common, according to the inside of the book cover, is they're "women with passion, connecting with purpose."
To Debera Quandt, who spearheaded the book project, "The Ladies Room" is a way to open eyes on how many local businesses are owned and operated by women, plus provide valuable information about those businesses. In addition, the businesswomen reveal insights to such things as their guiding principles and inspirations in their lives.
A rollout party where copies of the books were distributed to the businesswomen was held recently at the Carrollton Centre, and Quandt says they gave "The Ladies Room" rave reviews.
"The result is excellent. I'm ecstatic," Quandt says. "Everybody who's in the book loves them."
Complimentary copies of the books primarily will be distributed at the subjects' businesses, although there also may be some general-distribution sites, Quandt says.
Quandt jumped onto the idea of a "Ladies Room" book featuring Carroll-area businesswomen after she saw an Okoboji-area version last summer that Blink Marketing of Okoboji had recently published. That was Blink's first venture into "Ladies Room" books.
"I liked how it was arranged," Quandt says of the softcover book printed on thick, high-quality paper. "It has (the businesswomen's) names, a description of their businesses and how to contact them, photos of them and their businesses, and insights about them.
"I thought, 'Carroll needs one of these, a book to highlight women in business.'"
Quandt says that when she contacted Blink Marketing about the possibility of publishing a new "Ladies Room," this one featuring Carroll-are businesswomen, the response was: "Absolutely. You get the people and get the sponsors."
Quandt soon began contacting prospective businesswomen to feature in the book, as well as businesses to sponsor the printing costs. The idea quickly took off.
Businesswomen paid to be included in "The Ladies Room," and the Carroll version ended up with 41 businesses, with two pages devoted to each.
The businesses appear in the book alphabetically - beginning with Adams Street Bed & Breakfast and concluding with The Yarn Basket.
Collecting material for the book, Blink Marketing staff visited Carroll for three days to take photos of the women plus images that portray their businesses.
"It's amazing the number of women we have in business and the different businesses we have, all the way from interior design to landscaping, to kitchen ideas, to travel agents to healing center, to dance studios, to bed and breakfast," Quandt says. "So it's a wide variety."
Quandt herself is one of the women featured. She formerly operated Debera's School of Dance for 40 years before turning that business (now Fusion Dance) over a couple of years ago to her daughter Heather Knerl. Quandt now represents Rodan and Fields Dermatologists.
"I know what it's like to be a woman in business, and I think any little pat on the back is essential," Quandt says. "Women basically have come a long way in having their own businesses, being in the trenches of business."
The inside front cover of the book says "The Ladies Room" project itself is inspired by the 3/50 Project, which was launched in 2009 and promotes the success of independent local businesses by urging people to pick three such businesses, spend $50 at each and "save your local economy."
"Think about which three independently owned businesses you would miss most if they were suddenly gone," the 3/50 Project says. "Stop in and say hello. Pick up something that will make someone smile. Your contribution is what keeps those businesses around.
"If just half the employed U.S. population spent $50 each month in independently owned businesses, their purchases would generate more than $42 billion in revenue. Imagine the positive impact if 3/4 of the employed population did that."
The 3/50 Project also says that for every $100 spent in independently owned stores, $68 returns to their communities through wages, taxes, payroll and other expenditures. That compares with $43 from $100 spent at a national chain store or nothing from online shopping.
In Blink Marketing's information-gathering for the book, it gave every businesswoman a list of dozens of questions about their business philosophy, background or themselves, and they could select a few to answer.
Some most frequently selected questions by the Carroll-area businesswomen were "What inspires you?" "What makes your business unique?" "What advice do you give other businesswomen?" "Who do you admire?" and "What do you love about Carroll?"
One of the distinctive businesses showcased in the books is The Grocery Gal, launched five years ago by Angie Gladden of Carroll to supplement her job as an at-home corporate travel agent for Agent 24, based in New York.
Gladden recalls, "When I was approached with the (book) project, I thought it might be a unique way to showcase businesswomen in the Carroll area, and I also thought it might be a nice way to learn about services some people might not know exist in our area - like my service. I don't have a storefront and don't do a lot of advertising, so I kind of trust more than anything word-of-mouth.
"It's also a nice way for people to put a face with a business and see the force behind that business."
In the book, Gladden describes The Grocery Gal as a "shopping and errand service assisting people with errands that are difficult to do or just don't have the time. A majority of the business is grocery shopping, but I also do personal shopping to department stores. I do errands of all sorts, such as: banks, post office, pharmacies and even fast-food runs."
The Grocery Gal's two pages in the book include five photos, and Gladden addressed the questions "What inspires you?", "Who do you most admire" and "What makes your business unique?".
After reading other businesswomen's answers to questions, Gladden says, "I think it's interesting that there seemed to be a theme or commonality among the ethics, which seemed to be live by the Golden Rule of treating others the way you want to be treated. I think that says a lot for our community, too, because in my other full-time (travel-agent) job I deal with professionals and businesspeople across the country, and unfortunately you don't always get that treatment."
Gladden says overall of the book, "I thought it was very well done. It was really professionally put together, yet it did have a personable sense to it. It's a nice way to feature women in our area. They did really nice features on everyone. It's a way to get to know us a little bit more and our services we offer to the public."
She says of the 3/50 Project focus on the importance of these local businesses, "I think it's great to support your community and your local businesses. I've always been for that. A person doesn't always stop and realize how your purchases or your support here or there can affect the community and keep it thriving."

ANTI-AGEING clinics have been directly linked to widespread doping in the sporting community, with some identified as having links to organised-crime identities.
The revelation was made in the Australian Crime Commission's report on a 12-month investigation into the integrity of Australian sport, which found the anti-ageing market had expanded significantly in recent years.
The report says anti-ageing clinics were selling a wide range of performance and image-enhancing drugs. Some clinics were a ''major source'', able to supply pharmaceutical quality drugs banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency directly to athletes, in some cases without a prescription.
''In many cases, anti-ageing clinics are marketing their services directly to athletes by offering services such as hormone profiling and hormone-based training regimes to enhance athletic performance,'' the report says.
Dr Robin Willcourt, from Melbourne anti-ageing clinic Epigenx Integrated Medicine, defended the industry.
''I think probably most people are really very professional … You'll find that anti-ageing people are very committed to trying to get people healthy in the best natural way possible,'' he said.
''You've got the occasional idiot who comes in and wants to fill himself up with bucketloads of growth hormone and testosterone because they want to look like Mr Ape, but they're not your typical person.''
Melbourne health supplement suppliers confirmed that peptide and colostrum products were becoming increasingly popular.
A spokeswoman for the Medical Board of Australia said anyone concerned about treatments provided by a medical practitioner should bring it to the board's attention.
Arta Brown, from 365Supps in Port Melbourne, said performance and image-enhancing drugs were popular among men and women in their 30s and 40s who had regular training and exercise programs.
Athletes and bodybuilders had previously been identified by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority as using anti-ageing clinics to acquire testosterone, HGH and anabolic steroids, the commission's report says.
But the report says doctors play a part in helping athletes.
''As many of these substances - such as testosterone and HGH - require a prescription from a medical practitioner, complicit doctors have been identified providing prescriptions to clients of anti-ageing clinics, even if there is no medical reason for the prescribing of these substances and they have had no contact with the patient or access to their medical records,'' it says.
In May 2009, an investigation by Fairfax Media in Melbourne found that the illicit trade in human growth hormone had moved to anti-ageing clinics.
Middle-aged men in particular were increasingly injecting human growth hormone in a bid to fight old age, spending up to $15,000 a year.
Government guidelines say human growth hormone should be prescribed only to children with growth disorders and adults with severe hormone deficiencies. But the Fairfax investigation found many anti-ageing clinics in Melbourne's wealthier suburbs were flouting regulations by prescribing human growth hormone drugs to people as young as 35 who want to look good, stay fit and boost their sex lives.

Trail Monster
I'm going over my plan for Burning River 100 in 3 weeks. I can have a drop bag at 26, 46, 65, and 86 miles. I'm figuring extra socks, maybe spare shoes, Advil, Gu/ShotBloks, headlamp and arm warmers (at 65), and that's about it. Anything I'm missing? I will have a two person crew meeting me at 6.2, 17.2, 26.2, 41.7, and 65.7. My pacer will join me at 70.6 and my remaining crewman can meet us at 86.7, 93.2, 96.2, and the finish (101.0). I've never had a crew or pacer before and I rarely use drop bags for anything under 100k so I'm a little lost on what I may need or should supply to my crew. Thoughts and recommendations?
2013 races:
3/17 Shamrock Marathon
4/20 North Coast 24 Hour
7/27 Burning RIver 100M
8/24 Baker 50M
10/5 Oil Creek (distance to be determined)

Brands I Heart:
Altra Zero Drop
Solid food or supplements? Body glide or similar. immodium, caffeine, extra watch. That's all I can think of.
What's been suggested via FB so far:
body glide
change of clothes
S! Caps
tums/ginger candy
arm warmers/jacket for night
extra watch
I don't have anything to add, except that I was struck at WS this year by my runner's drop bags. They were all food. Last year, mine were all gear.
I've kept it really simple at my races (both of them
stuck with sunscreen, bodyglide, socks. I worry about losing the bags, or things getting broken, so I stick with stuff I don't care if I lose (I did lose a drop bag at my first race.)
I do like putting in a special "treat" to give me a little pick me up. Last race it was a Mt. dew Code Red, and a kit kat,
next race I'm trying to figure out how to get a hot bacon cheeseburger and fries in there.

Run for fun.
I have an iron stomach so I'm not worried about food. I survive just fine on aid station fare. I don't wear sunglasses ever. I think bug spray, wet wipes, and something to look forward to are good ideas. I will add those to the list of things to provide my crew. Thanks!
duct tape / blister guards that won't come off.
needles (blisters)
Vasaline. There are just some places I don't want to rub the glide.
Uh oh... now what?
We (doddering old joggers) were discussing the percentage of runners ignoring the aid station stuff. They come in, run to their cache, do whatever, and head back out. The aid station tended to be food (gels and blocks were available). The drop bags tended to be the chemical stuff, e.g., energy drinks, the full gamut of gel/block brands, chia seed thingies, and other mysteries.
Kathy noted one woman who would get a cell phone call when her runner was a mile out. This was the signal to get up, mix a batch, and be ready. When questioned about it, she explained her husband did not like the stale taste from the bottles. He goes only to runs where he has full control of aid availability, no drop bags, fresh aid only.
Some of our conversations about the almost thirty years of running are fun. With no intention of insulting anyone we wonder what some of the current runners would have thought one morning when we headed out on the 40-something miles from Lake Cushman to Dosewallips in the Olympic Peninsula. We each had a two-bottle fanny pack, two soon to be smashed PN&Js, some water purification pills, and two Hershey bars.
Trends and changes are both fun and interesting to watch... cotton shirts might be making a comeback too.
I do like putting in a special "treat" to give me a little pick me up. Last race it was a Mt. dew Code Red, and a kit kat,
next race I'm trying to figure out how to get a hot bacon cheeseburger and fries in there.
At Michigan Bluff there was a hamburger stand staffed by the local volunteer firefighters (I think)--many a runner would swerve over to the stand (even though they had just left the aid station) and order a double-everything burger, get their burger and head for Foresthill. I had one for my runner. I would learn it was the best refueling she had done since leaving Squaw.
Pam Smith, women's winner at WS this year, wore a cotton shirt because of the heat -- it held more water.
Pam Smith, women's winner at WS this year, wore a cotton shirt because of the heat -- it held more water.
Yes, someone on a trail asked me about my plain shirt yesterday. I said I used the tech shirts mostly in the cooler months. She mentioned something about Pam Smith's innovation. That was the word she used, innovation. I think some Texas runners still show up with what looks like long sleeve white dress shirts.
Someone is going to worry a lot trying to figure out the secrets of the Oregon women--superduperspecial group of women.
Not sure I understand the benefit. Back in gradeschool, I was taught that sweat cooled the body through evaporation. Why would you wear something that prevented evaporation? If water just clings to your skin in 100 degree temps, my limited physics understanding says that best case scenario your body is absorbing as much heat as it lets out. I thought I read she was a science teacher so maybe I'm missing a concept somewhere?
She's not a science teacher; she's a pathologist. I can't say I really understand it either, except that water should evaporate from the shirt's surface, cooling it (and therefore your skin), and the more water it holds, the more it should be able to cool, right?
Part of the equation here, I think, is that the runner will periodically douse with water, at aid stations or in between, from a water bottle. So it's not just about evaporating sweat most efficiently.

It was buried amid the excitement of the European Union's summit in Brussels, but I'd like to draw your attention to a revealing report published on Thursday on the subject of European access to strategic raw materials. Prepared under the supervision of the European Commission, the report names 14 critical materials that Europe risks not having enough of in the future – with potentially far-reaching implications for Europe's economic development, not to mention its defence and security.

Adobe has finally released Flex 3 and AIR 1.0. This is a major milestone in the evolution of RIA and business applications as we know them. I'll be the first one to admit that I did not jump on the AIR bandwagon from the start. Obviously, my focus on enterprise level applications has blurred my vision. As time passed and I actually tried building a couple LiveCycle ES applications using AIR as the client, I quickly realized that my initial "poo poo" opinion of AIR was dramatically incorrect. AIR is going to revolutionize the way enterprise applications are built and distributed.
Take the time to check it out. The buzz is all around consumer type applications for now, but as more and more enterprise developers discover the power and flexibility or AIR; it will spread like wild-fire.
