Arnault Pachot
After completing higher education in Mathematics and Information Technology, Arnault worked for 10 years in various IT services in France and Canada as Development Engineer and Quality Manager.
In 2005 he discovered open software and is passionate about this new way of cooperation and sharing. An entrepreneur at heart, he decided to create OpenStudio in 2006, so as to provide website development services.
Thanks to his free contributions to multiple CMS, he was asked to work on increasingly important projects.
Year after year, his role at the heart of the company evolved: at first an independent developer, then project manager, now he's the one responsible for the company's strategy. He has played a major role in the technological choices of Thelia 2 and the internationalization of the software.
A father of three, he also harbors a passion for travel and gatherings!
Emmanuel Nurit
Emmanuel has been an e-commerce specialist for more than 10 years. He has worked for multiple agencies in France and found himself involved quite early on with open software, notably by contributing since 2005 to osCommerce software.
His desire for independence pushed him to create the community « Pas Facile A retenir » (Not Catchy) in 2005. The young company developed rapidly with prestigious contracts for the biggest of NGOs.
By the end of 2009, after meeting with Arnault Pachot, the two entrepreneurs found a common understanding and decided to work together in OpenStudio and recruit associates, so as to continue the development of their activities.
His warm personality and his ability to manage the associates around him make Emmanuel a charismatic leader appreciated by the whole of the company.
Passionate for both his enterprise and new technologies, Emmanuel also enjoys distancing himself from the work environment to be with his family, his friends, and his children.
Cédric Sibaud
After having worked in prestigious communications agencies, Cédric decided to create, together with some friends, the company called Octolys to create an offer of e-commerce related services. It's 2005 and the e-commerce world is booming. The majority of offered services consists of proprietary software. Along with Yoan de Macedo, they decide to publish the online marketing software they're developing under a free license: that software was Thelia. It's the beginning of an adventure which will lead to the creation of more than 10,000 online stores in France!
In 2008, they meet with the manager of another company, OpenStudio, which works with open software. After many years of working together, in 2012 they make the decision to merge and invest in an ambitious redesign in Symfony2 of the Thelia software.
Gifted with excellent interpersonal skills and contagious enthusiasm, Cédric develops and organizes the commercial activity of OpenStudio. Nowadays, he runs the agency of Clermont Ferrand, comprised of 15 associates, including the R&D team of the new Thelia.
He uses the little amount of time his professional activity leaves him with to spend warm moments with his two children, his partner, and his friends, in their house in Ambert.
Nicolas Duwez
Nicolas joined OpenStudio in 2010, after an already fulfilling career as developer and project leader.
For five years now, he has taken over the development of the activity of major enterprises, especially along with the partnership with the Economie d'Energie society. It is to him that OpenStudio owes the exponential growth of its revenue, for which it received multiple awards in the 10th Deloitte/Fast50 2014 Awards.
Within a few years, Nicolas has found, thanks to his human capacities and managing abilities, the perfect balance between customer and associate satisfaction. In 2012, he became an associate himself and gradually took over the leadership of the agency of Puy en Velay. He supervises 2 project leaders and 15 developers and graphic designers, all of them dedicated to high-profile clients.
Fascinated with new technologies, Nicolas is equally passionate about the area he lives in with his wife and children. He loves relaxing with his family in their farm with a slate roof, which he passionately reconstructed by himself.
Fast 50 France
OpenStudio has won awards for two years in a row in the prestigious FAST50 Deloitte competition. Between 2009 and 2013, its 5 year growth has reached +2816%, placing the company on national rank 10
Fast 500 EMEA
In 2014, OpenStudio reached rank 47 in Europe, Middle East, and Africa, and is among the top 10 French enterprises.
Entrepreneur Of The Year
In 2014, the leaders of OpenStudio were nominated among the 10 enterprises of Rhône alpes-Auvergne for the competition of Entrepreneur of the Year of the Ernst&Young firm.
OpenStudio participates in the French delegation French Tech. We are regularly selected as ambassadors of France for diverse international events, such as the CES in Las Vegas in 2015 and 2016.
OpenStudio is member of France digitale, which brings together the champions of digital entrepreneurship: start-ups with strong growth plans and potential investors (venture capitalists and business angels). Startups and investors join forces to create the French digital champions.

Folks who accept an appointment to the Cattlemen's Beef Board (CBB) do it because they love the cattle business. It's their first thought when they wake up in the morning and it's the last thought that flitters through their minds when they go to sleep at night. And the time between those two events can often be 18 hours or more, most of it spent tending the herd.
Case in point: Jim LeFils and what he said the Friday before Thanksgiving last year. It was the traditional date of the Volusia County Farm Tour, a 30-year annual tradition that provides a free 'behind-the-scenes' look at that Florida County's farms and ranches.
The first stop of the tour drew more than 100 people to Deep Creek Preserve, a 4,800-acre property that was purchased by Volusia County in 2010 for nearly $29 million. It was funded by Volusia Forever, a county-wide program created in 2000 to protect natural biodiversity within the area.
CBB member Jim LeFils, who operates a cow/calf business called Deep Creek Cattle, LLC, on 10,000 acres of family-owned and leased land including 600 acres of the Preserve, spoke about his family history. His family has been in the cattle business in Florida since 1830.
"My family has a lot of history here," he told the crowd. "Every day I get to wake up and love what I do."
LeFils said recent developments in American agriculture and food development make his business not nearly as financially lucrative as it was when his ancestors were in charge, but he can't imagine doing anything else with his time.
That drew applause from several members of the crowd, including Kristy Sutton, who was there with her eight-year-old son Dylan. "I want Dylan to learn that there are more things he can do with his life besides what is on the news," said the 31-year-old single mother. "I always tell him to follow his heart but before he does that he has to open his mind. That's why we're here."
The Volusia County Farm Tour is transparency and 'agvocacy' at its best with LeFils acting as a spokesman for the many multi-generational family farming operations in Florida and the U.S.
He's a fifth-generation cattleman, working the place with his wife, Jody. There might be a sixth and seventh generation standing behind him. "My sons are in it and I've got six grandchildren who might come along, too.
"My oldest son, Jim, grows some peanuts and corn near Ocala. He and his wife Sara, have two kids. Jeff and Jodie, my youngest son and his wife, have two kids. He works construction and helps out here. My daughter, Jill, and her husband, Tim, also have two children."
LeFils isn't big on unbridled growth - he'd rather take it slow and do it right. "I don't want the most, I want the best," he said with a nod toward the 1,000 momma cows that graze his land. "The best" paid off, this year, too. In spite of a drought-stricken year that hurt so many cattlemen across the country, "We were a little dry in the spring but with a good breeding program and heavy calves, it was a phenomenal year."
LeFils was nominated to the Beef Board by the Florida CattleWomen, the Florida Farm Bureau Federation, Southeast Milk, and the Florida Cattlemen's Association. He serves as a state director for the Cattlemen's Association and as a county director for the Farm Bureau.
"I started with the CBB a year and a half ago," he said, "and it's an experience that's gotten better all the time. I joined because I believe in the checkoff. . .always have. Without a doubt, it's made our business more profitable. I've really enjoyed being a part of the process."
Lefils serves on the New Product and Culinary Initiative Committee. "We help bring new products to the marketplace," he said. "We do taste tests, look at new cuts and new preparation methods. We look at packaging and research things like frozen meat. We're always looking for new and better ways to present beef to the public. Our goal is to make the business more profitable for the cattlemen and I think we've been very successful."
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Chuck Jolley, a veteran food industry journalist and commentator.

Carlin - loving life with DH and 2 amazing daughters
We were very vocal about only wanting one child. Then DH would make and cancel vasectomy appointments...and here we are.
So we hear a lot of "was it planned?" and "were you trying?" . I think it's absolutely inappropriate but both mil and fil asked if we were trying. None. Of. Your. Freaking. Business. Icky. What am I supposed to say to that? "Nope, we just like having unprotected sex." "Your son kept canceling his snip-snip appointments." "We thought we would mess with you."
Also, MIL said that she was so glad we decided to make her another grandbaby. That's exactly what we were thinking about the night this one was conceived. "hmmm...we should maximize our chances at conception for MIL." Ew times 10.

Mama to my little social butterfly 6/13/09
This week I told someone at my son's preschool... since my belly is starting to look big enough that people are going to start to wonder.... and I got "wow you're going to have 4 kids" the 4 was said with raised eyebrows and the sort of emphasis that could be construed as disapproval.

Mara, mama to two boys born 05/2009 and 04/2011, after four miscarriages.
We announced the news at church today. The best one I got was, "Were you surprised?" and I said, "Not at all! We were trying!" So she said, "I'm not going to ask you how many times you practiced." I think she was trying to be funny, so I just didn't hold back..... and I said, "Well, we tried for two months, but we're going to keep practicing just to be sure we still remember."
That shut her up.

Stephen Page | Australia | 2016 | 84 MIN | Feature
Thursday 20 October 2016 | 9:30 PM
TIFF Bell Lightbox, Cinema 3
Co-presented by: Native Earth Performing Arts, Kaha:wi Dance Theatre, Red Sky Performance, and Luminato Festival
In this breathtaking and visually mesmerizing film, first-time feature director and celebrated choreographer Stephen Page and his Sydney-based Bangarra Dance Theatre come together to tell the story of Djali, a young Indigenous man (a revelatory performance by rising star Hunter Page-Lochard) who sets off on a journey of initiation and understanding of what it means to balance ancient tradition with the modern, urban world. Seamlessly weaving dance and story – and a compelling soundscape by composer David Page – this cinematic journey begins with his birth and follows him as he enters the complicated and often painful world of a colonial Australia's turbulent and violent past, which resulted in a desperate present day. In this richly layered film, we become witness to Djali's struggle to find his place as he awakens the powerful spiritual guiding force within him. Spear is a rare work of art and one not to missed.
In 1991 Stephen Page was appointed artistic director of the Sydney-based, internationally acclaimed Bangarra Dance Theatre and has developed a signature body of works that have become milestones in Australian performing arts. He continues to reinvent Indigenous storytelling both within Bangarra and through collaborations with other performing arts companies, including directing the Indigenous sections for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
John Harvey is a rising producer in the Australian film scene. In addition to producing Spear, he has produced numerous short films in the past few years, including Blackbird, which is screening this year at imagineNATIVE.

No Protection: A Filmmaker Against SOPAFriday, December 16th, 2011
As a filmmaker, I'm a content creator. I'm an "artist." I want to be able to make a living doing creative work and I do want to be paid for work I do. But I do not support copyright law as it is today. I do not support the Digital Millenium Copyright Act and I do not support the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). The reason is simple. I am a practical person. If something is essentially unenforceable then there is a problem with it as a solution. If to be enforceable, the law needs to shut down free speech, security and the general mechanics of unrelated businesses, I don't think it spells pragmatic.
I would like innovators to come up with a way for creative people to make more money from their work. I do not care all that much if giant conglomerates suffer in the meantime. They should not be permitted to force even more corporate welfare down our throats in the form of legislation that benefits a very narrow group of powerful companies. They have fed someone the line that their protection benefits artists, when that is almost never the case. The vast majority of artists benefit far more from innovative sites like Etsy or Vimeo whose very existence is threatened by this type of legislation.
I have been worried about various threats to innovation on the internet, for example in the broadband monopoly in the US. But that nearly every internet company has come out against this type of legislation has not been able to stop the force of the MPAA and their lobbyists. Even a bipartisan effort in the Judiciary Committee seems to be yielding little return.
I saw a tweet yesterday that said "If SOPA passes, I'm moving to Canada." It does sound tempting, but if SOPA passes, the internet will be affected everywhere. The U.S. is still leading the way in web innovation. But if you make obvious activity illegal, we'll all be criminals.

Key Features
- Review Price: £39.45
Time was when admitting a love for EA's FIFA series was akin to a horrific social faux pas, like unknowingly chatting up your mate's sister or walking out of the toilet undone and hanging out. It was bad news and would generally secure a reputation for being either: a) weird b) stupid or worse still just "a bit special". Why? Because, compared to Konami's deep and frenetic competitor, FIFA was shallow, gimmicky and ponderous. However, much to the developer's credit, FIFA 07 marked a significant step forward for the series. Finally, after many a year of bizarre new control schemes, here was a game that was comfortable concentrating on being just one thing: a really good football game.
So, what about this year's attempt, the imaginatively titled FIFA 08? Dealing with the bleeding obvious first, FIFA 08 is just as polished and beautifully presented as it has ever been. Menus, music, shiny bits: FIFA 08 has it all. Of course, it also has the ever alluring licenses to fall back upon and in terms of the sheer number of players, teams and stadiums available, FIFA remains the daddy. Moreover, despite what the more snobbish among us might suggest, this is an important part of the allure and FIFA 08 represents the best visual interpretation of the game we've yet seen.
Most notable in this respect are the player animations. Over the years we've become pretty accustomed to ever improving animation, but FIFA 08 takes expectations and extends them even further. Players shield and manoeuvre the ball with increasing ease, bringing the ball down and under control smoothly and seamlessly. As ever there's a bewildering array of skills to master too, all animated with great flair and accuracy. Accompanying this are the truly excellent ball physics, which were a particular highlight of last years effort. More than before the ball feels like its own independent spirit, ricocheting unexpectedly and making for a more believable and at times unpredictable game.
Another important facet of any FIFA title is the player likeliness's. Beginning with the good, the extra detail provided by playing the game at full 1080p on a large TV means it's easier than ever to pick out players merely by appearance. Be it the broad shoulders of Wayne Rooney or Sheffield Wednesday's silver haired warrior Graham Kavanagh, most players are easily identifiable so long as you know what they look like to begin with.
Oddly, however, move up close and a large majority look distinctly chunky. We're not just talking Rooney, Adriano or Fat Frank here, even the likes of Ronaldinho suffer the chunky treatment, looking as though he ought to be standing outside a club bouncing people to the curb. It's not a fatal issue and given time one tends to tune out the initial shock, but it's a strange development nonetheless.

Vanessa Pham murder trial continues Tuesday with medical examiner's testimony
FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (WJLA) - Day three of the Vanessa Pham murder trial gets underway Wednesday morning. Julio Blanco Garcia's taped confession is expected to be played in court. That confession is likely to run about two hours.
A medical examiner who saw Vanessa Pham after she was murdered in 2010 testified Tuesday that Pham likely didn't die immediately from her wounds.
He gave testimony in the second day of the trial for the man accused of stabbing her to death.
Julio Blanco Garcia's is accused of stabbing Pham 13 times in June of 2010 in what prosecutors believe was a cold-blooded murder. The defendant was alleged to have been high on PCP at the time of the murder.
WATCH: Full video from Day 1 of the Vanessa Pham murder trial
The mother of a longtime friend of Vanessa Pham choked up on the stand Tuesday after recalling seeing her hours before she was killed.
"She was ecstatically happy," testified Mary McManus, Pham's friend. "She was really happy that she'd had a good year at school, she was happy she'd found work as a nanny and that was coming together that day. She was just very, very happy."
That followed a morning of gruesome testimony with medical examiner Dr. Wayne Williams on the stand, explaining his autopsy of Pham.
"Her body and clothing were very bloody. Blood-soaked," he testified. Williams' autopsy identified 13 stab wounds to Pham's body. Two to her chest ultimately killed her.
"They would not be immediately fatal, it would take some time, basically bleeding out was her cause of death," he testified.
During an emotional day of opening statements and testimony on Monday, prosecutors said that Blanco Garcia purposefully armed himself and killed Pham, while defense attorneys argued for lesser charges.
Garcia's attorneys say their client was high on PCP and had no intention of killing Pham for a ride to the hospital with his infant daughter in his arms. They contend that when Pham took a wrong turn, Garcia panicked and attacked her with what detectives say was a single-edged knife -- after which Garcia escaped through the sunroof.
Williams confirms that Pham tried to fight back, but to no avail: "I noticed numerous sharp force injuries, stab wounds, incise wounds."

Raleigh, N.C. — After several hours of debate over two days, House lawmakers voted Wednesday to tentatively approve new requirements and new penalties for people receiving food stamp benefits.
Under House Bill 1047, the state lottery would be required to report anyone winning more than $2,250 to the Department of Health and Human Services to be cross-checked against a list of people receiving food stamp benefits. If winners are enrolled in the assistance program, their cases would be reviewed to determine whether they're still eligible for benefits.
"The main reason is to protect the long-term viability of the program, to be good stewards and to understand that it's important that the people who truly need the benefits are the ones getting them," said sponsor Rep. Bert Jones, R-Rockingham. "We're just trying to weed out opportunities where there may be fraud or abuse."
As initially presented to the House, the proposal would also have suspended or ended benefits for the entire household, including children, if an adult in that household broke the program rules. That would include work requirements passed last year for able-bodied adults without dependents.
"That has been one of the most popular things that we have done is reinstate those requirements," Jones said Tuesday. "This law just puts a little bit of teeth on this to set this qualification. The federal standard penalty should apply, and this would cause that to happen."
But Democrats and some Republicans expressed concern about holding children accountable for adults' mistakes.
"Wait a minute, now. You're getting ready to create something else when you do this to children," said Rep. Garland Pierce, D-Scotland. "Now you've got parents (who) can't feed their children. Social services is going to step in and take the children, then you and I are going to have to pay to put them in a foster home. It's just a vicious cycle that should not be there."
The House voted unanimously Wednesday to amend the bill to clarify that only a recipient, not his or her household, could have benefits cut off for non-compliance with program rules.
Lawmakers also added a requirement to the bill that DHHS must report every year on the number of lottery winners recertified, fraud cases caught and federal money saved. The amendment, authored by Rep. Jean Farmer-Butterfield, D- Edgecombe, was agreed to by Jones.
"I think we're delighted for them to be able to report the savings. Whatever savings we get, I think it's worth it. We're simply asking people to comply with the law," Jones said.
An attempt to raise the lottery winner reporting limit from $2,250 to $5,000 failed, even with some Republican support.
"That's $40 a week for a poor family. I hope that we will all be compassionate," argued Rep. Pat McElraft, R-Carteret. "It'll help. It'll still bring in more money, and it won't hurt poor people."
Jones said he chose the $2,250 threshold because it's also the threshold for reporting lottery winners to the Internal Revenue Service, so lottery officials are already tasked with printing out 1099 forms for them.
"If a person wins the lottery, they may or they may not remain eligible for this government assistance. It's not some arbitrary number that we took out of the air," Jones argued. "Some states use $600."
Democrats protested that the changes overall would more likely hurt those who can least afford it, rather than finding fraud.
Rep. Larry Hall, D-Durham, said nine counties still don't have worker training programs to help food benefit recipients meet the work requirement.
"When we have that work requirement, we should facilitate people's ability to be in programs to do it," Hall argued. "Our counties and our folks don't match up with the policies that we're making, and they're not always in their best interest."
The measure passed 75-38, and is scheduled for its final vote Thursday. After that, it goes to the Senate.

Rick Perry Blames Ambassador's Death on Obama, Uses it to Shill for Romney
It's been all of 24 hours since Christopher Stephens, the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, was killed along with three others in an attack by an mob angered by a film ridiculing the prophet Mohammed. Stephens was, by all accounts, a dedicated public servant, and he had borne witness to the fall of Muammar Qaddafi's fall and the country's painful, halting transition to democracy.
Stephens' death is unquestionably a tragedy, as are the deaths of the three other people who were killed in the attack. It is also an opportunity, apparently, for Governor Rick Perry to bitch about the Obama administration. His office sent out a press release in which Perry spends a little time mourning Shields' passing and a lot of time talking about how it's all Obama's fault. He begins:
Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans are now dead in the chaos of a destabilized Middle East. President Obama said he "rejects" these brutal acts, and condemns them in "the strongest terms" -- yet still acknowledges our attackers' supposed justification. This kind of language broadcasts an impotent foreign policy that fostered this crisis in the first place.
It's worth pausing here to take in this "justification." Here's what the president said:
"While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants."
Perry goes on:
Muammar Qadaffi was an evil oppressor who murdered innocent Americans. But in the naïve belief that America could "lead from behind" in the operation to remove him, this President allowed Libyan rockets and artillery to be scattered to the terrorist winds and had no plan to secure the country. Now we have these brazen attacks on our mission in Benghazi, and the violent death of our ambassador.
Combined with President Obama's shameful lack of leadership in Egypt that culminated in the burning of our flag in our own embassy in Cairo yesterday, it is no wonder our enemies in the region are emboldened and our allies are afraid.
Yep. He went there.

"Speak English!" Diaz-Balart heckled at tea party rally
From BuzzFeed's report on the big tea party rally in Washington today:
...Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, a Florida Republican working on a House immigration bill, spoke briefly in Spanish and was heckled by one of the Tea Party protestors who yelled "learn English!"
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rogers holds a press conference across the street from the Tea Party rally with Hispanic faith leaders.
King had wanted the Tea Party show up, and show up they did. They were mad: at Boehner, at Congress, at the Senate's 'Gang of 8', at the media, and especially at Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
"Throw them both out, Go home" said Jessica Hayes of Boehner and Rubio. Hayes had come to Washington from West Virginia to protest the Senate bill and throw her support behind King. "If I break the law I go to jail. We need to enforce the laws that are on the books, send the people that are here illegally home and don't let them back in."
Cheryl Griffin drove up from St. Lucie Florida, armed with a sign that said "Marco: Early advocate of Muslim Brotherhood takeover." She had campaigned for Rubio in 2010, and wore two buttons: one with 'Rubio 2010' x-ed out, and another that pictured Rubio in a sombrero with devil horns.
"Today I would vote for Charlie Crist, at least I know who he is," she said. "He used us. We did not send him here to do this. He's here to say no and stop it."...

Scientists have estimated how fast oil leaked during the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010.
Coral Gables (January 18, 2012) — By combining detailed chemical measurements in the ocean, oil slick, and air, scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the University of Miami, and elsewhere have independently estimated how fast gases and oil were leaking during the BP Deepwater Horizon Gulf oil spill in 2010.
The new study, "Chemical data quantify Deepwater Horizon hydrocarbon flow rate and environmental distribution," is published online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The improved chemistry-based estimate—an average of 11,130 tons of gas and oil compounds per day—is close to the official average leak rate estimate of about 11,350 tons of gas and oil per day (equal to 59,200 barrels of liquid oil).
"This study uses the available chemical data to give a better understanding of what went where and why," said Thomas Ryerson, a research chemist at NOAA and lead author of the study. "The surface and subsurface measurements and analysis provided by our university colleagues were key to this unprecedented approach to understanding an oil spill."
Elliot Atlas, professor of marine and atmospheric chemistry at UM's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science and co-author of the article, was among those providing data to NOAA. Along with colleague Donald Blake and his research team at the University of California-Irvine, Atlas collected air samples, which were then analyzed for the chemical composition of organic trace gases in the Gulf of Mexico atmosphere.
"A very distinct pattern of trace gases was observed over the spill area that provided a fingerprint of oil components that escaped from the Gulf waters to the atmosphere," Atlas said. "Combined with other measurements of the same components in the bulk oil, the air measurements could put some constraint on the rate of oil flow to the surface."
The underwater plume was enhanced with gases known to dissolve readily in water, the team found. This includes essentially lightweight methane (natural gas) and benzene present in the spilling reservoir fluid. The surface oil slick was dominated by the heaviest and stickiest components, which neither dissolved in seawater nor evaporated into the air.
The team also found that the leaking gas and oil quickly separated into three major pools: the well-known underwater plume about 3,300 to 4,300 feet below the surface, the visible surface slick, and an airborne plume. Each pool had a very different chemical composition.
The analysis further showed a majority of the leaking gas and oil, by weight, was retained in the deep subsurface plume. The visible surface slick represented about 15 percent of the total leaked gas and oil; the airborne plume accounted for about another 7 percent.
The chemical measurements made from mid-May through June showed that the composition of the atmospheric plume changed very little, suggesting little change in the makeup of the leaking gas and oil.
The new chemistry-based estimate of about 11,130 tons per day (8,900 to 13,300 tons, including uncertainty) compares well with the official estimate of 11,350 tons per day (10,000 to 12,700 tons, including uncertainty). This information about the transport and fate of different components of the spilled gas and oil mixture could help resource managers and others trying to understand environmental exposure levels.
The new analysis follows another NOAA-led study in which scientists estimated a lower limit to the Deepwater Horizon leak rate based on two days of airborne data and the chemical makeup of the reservoir gas and oil determined before the spill. This updated analysis adds many other sources of data, including subsurface and surface samples taken over six weeks during the spill and a direct measure of the makeup of the gas and oil actually leaking into the Gulf.

text: I had the LL in 2008 and am very satisfied with the results and my follow-up patient treatment. Even now the incisions behind my ears are still sensitive (I had to get steroid inj. for keloid scars)and it took about 6 months to really see the final results of my "family jowls, puppet-mouth and turkey gobble" to be gone. But the improvement was noticeable immediately after the bruising and swelling were gone. I think it was easier for me bec. I knew what to expect, read so much about the procedure - studied all the photos and asked 100 questions and followed the doctors instructions to a T! I don't think they offer enough info to the patient and make it seem like a "walk in the park". It's surgery and things can go wrong. I hope you're better now.

(NEW YORK) — New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter has reached another milestone. During the Yankees second game of a double-header with the Toronto Blue Jays Wednesday, Jeter smacked his 200th hit of the season, tying Lou Gehrig's Yankee record of eight 200 hit seasons.
"It's a lot of hits," Jeter said. "I've always felt that if I was healthy and I go out there and play every day, it's something I'd have a chance to do."
Jeter currently leads all Major League players this season in hits. The 38-year-old is hitting .322, with 15 home runs and has scored 93 runs.

I did not read the description well enough, because I was browsing several websites for the best deal on metal, miniature handcuffs; this website would have been the best deal, but I did not read the description, only looked at the image you provided; image on website is misleading; these are cardstock-paper cutouts; half my fault/half misleading image on your website :-/
These are just too cute, I have to do many a lo's using police officer motifs, cause my son is a police officer, and I love him so much!!!!
My father was a police officer so this perfect on scrapbook page
with him in uniform.
so excited to find police-related items!!
It was what I ordered but too much emphasis is being put on such a small order. I think this could have been mailed without requiring a signature. Product was what I expected and worked fine. THANK YOU!

A WOMAN was sexually assaulted and robbed in Shoebury in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Essex police are investigating the incident, which happened at around 3.15am in a park off North Shoebury Road.
The victim, a woman in her fifties, was returning home from the Asda supermarket and walking south along North Shoebury Road when she was approached by the suspect at the entrance to Shoebury Park.
The man, approximately 17 years old, of slim build, about 5ft 5ins tall, spoke to the woman before dragging her into the park where she attempted to fight off the attacker but she was further threatened and subjected to a serious sexual assault.
The suspect was wearing a blue hooded top with white toggles/strings tied tight around his head, dark bottoms, dark trainers and he spoke with a local accent.
Following the assault the suspect also stole the victim's large brown and white speckled handbag.
Essex police is asking for anyone in the area at the time who may have seen a man matching the description, or know someone who came home is a dishevelled or agitated manner to contact detectives.
The stolen handbag has not been found, police would also like to hear from anyone if they come across it.
Anyone with information should contact Southend CID on 101 and ask for the duty sergeant or detective constable Richard Siggers, alternatively they can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Happy 12/12/12! I'm so excited I feel like I could say that about a dozen times.
Between all the crazy festivities on this festive day, ESPN's Jeremy Lundblad found time to post his list of the top 12 players to wear the No. 12 in college basketball history.
Right near the top is UNM men's basketball coach Steve Alford, who comes in at No. 2 on the list behind Oscar Robertson. Not bad company to keep at all.
Here is what Lundblad wrote of Alford, the former Indiana Hoosier great:
"Alford led the Hoosiers to the 1987 national title, garnering first-team All-American honors along the way. By the time he left Bloomington, Alford was the school's all-time leading scorer (since passed by Calbert Cheaney)."
What other college greats donned the No. 12 and made the Dirty Dozen list along with Alford and the Big O? CLICK HERE to see the rest of the list of 12.

Im in my teens, and is it normal for when i gt aroused for my panties to be a wee wet?
wenevr i thnk abt sex or arousal all the time i find my panties r just a wee wet and there is just a lil white stuff i thnk called *** there, is this normal?
Its very normal. Some of us have ruined some nice panties when we get too horny!
I have a wicked panty fetish. Is that wrong?
I don't know what it is. I love a woman in panties, especially satin fullbacks or even granny panties. Maybe what I find so erotic about them is what they seem to leave to the imagination and what naughty secrets they may hold. I love the way a nice pair of panties hug a woman's butt just right. I love getting a woman so wet her panties are left saturated before I take them off. I love the musky scent that is so sexy. So, tell me this. Am I normal? Am I obsessed with womens' underwear? For me this has been a fetish I've had since I was in my early teens. It's so strong I've even stolen my stepmom's panties but keep in mind that she is young and very attractive. I'm lucky I've never been caught after all this time. Is there a cure for this 20 year panty fetish I have? How common is it? I've had girlfriends that loved this fetish and used it to tease me and others that simply don't get it or are freaked out by it. That's why I'm asking these questions.
I have a pair of granny panties if you want them....I was gonna throw them out!
What is the possibillity of me becoming pregnant in such a situation?
A few months back, me and my boyfriend (now ex) had intimate contact. Intimate contact as in he was on top of me but we were not having sex. Just being sort of romantic. We both had our clothes on and when I mean clothes, I mean full clothes. I'm sort of worried about it. I'm a teen and I know what we did was wrong. I realized my mistake and I regretted having done it. But, I can't shake off this uneasy feeling. I'm quite worried I might be pregnant. I know some of you will say how old are you and didn't you hear about the birds and the bees. Well, I live in Asia so in schools, we rarely have talks regarding sex and I'm not that clever either. Although, right after we had our intimate contact, I remembered rushing off to the toilet to check if my pants were wet to see if there were signs of any semen. It was only wet inside my panties, I guess I got excited. Any thoughts whether I might be pregnant?
There is only a very small chance you are pregnant. Have you had your period since this happened? You said it was a few months ago. My guess is that you are not pregnant, but hopefully this has taught you the lesson that if you're going to have unprotected sex, you'll have to go through this worry every time.
How far should teens my age really go?
16, i really love my bf, we are going to kiss for the first time and my first time ever to kiss a boy, when he gets back from vacation (left for spring break) so, i was wondering, how far is right for 16 year old to go? we both agree that sex is a no, but, how far should we let it go? i swear that he is right for me, i know i am just 16, but hey, my brother got married at early age and he is doing great, and i feel the same way about my bf, but, i have the over emotional urges i think in this relationship, i tell him how i feel, even if it can be hot or pervey.. he does not really tell me though, even when i ask, but no sex! and i think oral would be out tell we atleast have been together for a good couple years and if engagement is coming and such, i see to wait to have sex tell i get married, something special for that person on wedding night, and i verg so.. and so is my bf.. please don't be one of those though thats says don't have a bf, or don't even kiss ok? you think making out and touchy feeling with hands only and at least most clothes on is good? or.. what can we do with the fact i a verg really? good ideas please, i do MB by the way.. only way i can keep from doing the dirty with someone else... just cause i get hot fast around my bf though. my panties get wet more then i like!
None as when you start, it becomes very difficult to stop.
Girl Teens: Period....................?
I only got my period once about four-five weeks ago. I know when you first get your period it is irregular. I don't get pms. I have been wearing a panty liner and there is some dry Orange beige color almost discharge on it. It is completely dry not wet-ish like other discharge I had (it was white) Could this be my period?
It's just Premenstrual spotting. Nothing to worry about. Periods start only when blood comes out,or else its not period.
Would you still be friends with ?
i gave this boy hand job.I know what you thinking why did I tell her. I told her because I was scared, and I had so many thoughts and I needed someone to let it out to. I thought I could trust her. So I was fine and I went into school the next day everything was fine. Second block it was all-good. But then I get out of my class and sit down. My other best first who she has a crush on look at me and goes " so are you panties wet" and I said " omg she told" and he told me everything she said. They don't even know each other that well. So the whole day I have to have people come up to me and say, " god is watching, or do the jacking off thing. Idk what is called haha) here is the kicker. I told her because I was regreating it and told her I wanted to take it back. And she told everyone I was bragging about it. I am 13 teen and the guy I did it with was my boyfriend for like a week! But I am not a slut! I swear! I just did it cause we were friends for a really long time and we went out for like a year before.
Many people your age, especially girls find gossip as a means to gain popularity at anothers expense. For me it would take a lot to be able to trust this friend ever again. I would tell this girl exactly how it made you feel, and if she is sympathetic and apologizes then I would give her a second chance, I wouldn't trust her with any more secrets but I would still give here another chance.
My best friend told everyone that i gave a boy a hand job.?
I know what you thinking why did I tell her. I told her because I was scared, and I had so many thoughts and I needed someone to let it out to. I thought I could trust her. So I was fine and I went into school the next day everything was fine. Second block it was all-good. But then I get out of my class and sit down. My other best first who she has a crush on look at me and goes " so are you panties wet" and I said " omg she told" and he told me everything she said. They don't even know each other that well.

I told her because I was regreating it and told her I wanted to take it back. And she told everyone I was bragging about it. I am 13 teen and the guy I did it with was my boyfriend but ill admit not for very long. k! But I am not a slut! I swear! I just did it cause we were friends for a really long time and we went out for like a year before.
Hell no!
I would never be her friend again...by telling people that she made a bad name for you...its probably like 60% chance that even the teachers no about it as well. If you know any secrets about her i would tell everyone about it.
Why am I wet all the time?
I'm in my late teens and I don't know if it's ovulation, I still dont grasp the concept of it. I got up this morning thinking I got my period but I went to the lou & I see I'm just wet. It's a lot. Another situation. I used the lou and I went bak like 5 minutes later and I see my panties filled with discharge. What's up with me?! It's been happening like for a couple of days now.
You are probably close to ovulation. You have a lot of discharge when you are young and when you ovulate. Also, you have a lot of hormones, like the ones that arouse you. You get lubrication fluid when you are aroused. I remember ruining a lot of pairs of underwear because of unexpected wetness.
Suspected guy abuse by ex?
my ex and I split a year ago. We have a little girl together. She sees him twice a week and did have one of those overnight. She started often touching herself. She often wet her panties after coming home. I took her to the pediatrician explained my fears of abuse and she said it was normal for guyren to explore their bodies. He has been involved with teen girls and is in early thirties. We are sharing custody. I asked my daughter if anyone touched her and she said no. I stopped overnight visits and she stopped. Then he came back a month later and at first she was fine. I disallowed overnights. . But after a month she's started again with touching herself. Sometimes she says I don't like my daddy. She's only four. And recently she said she doesn't like going to his house cuz it makes her skin itchy. Still she doesn't say anything about him touching her. I feel sick to my stomach. I'm scared. I reported it and she was even interviewed. Still nothing. Not sure what to do. I don't think he is safe. Legaly though I'm a little stuck. Any advise?.
Teach her about good touching and bad touching. Try not to place any stigma on any part of it. If she feels that there is shame related to it it may make her less likely to talk. Make a point of talking to her a lot. About everything! Occasionally ask about what happens at daddy's as commonly as you do what did you do today. Making it casual will let her know it is ok to talk about. Some guyren do begin to explore their bodies at this age, but there is a difference between exploration and knowing a lot more than a 4 year old should. The concept of putting things inside should be alien. If she is alluding to that, I'd say that's evidence.
At the same time, you do NOT want to lead her, scare her, or put thoughts into her head... or essentially you are the one molesting her. Get her talking, daily, about everyday events. From do you want to make cookies, to what was elmo doing on TV today, to are you excited to go to daddy's today. Anything she responds to, have a conversation (even if it's Elmo). Respond with questions like "really, then what happened?" and "why do you feel that way?"
It takes an incredible amount of patience, and she may never say anything. If it is in fact going on she will eventually do or say something undeniable. All you can do for now is make her comfortable talking about anything with you.
I had a similar experience with my daughter (who was only 2 at the time) and from that moment on we were openly talking about everything. I'd keep adult things adult but would answer her questions when they came up with honest but age appropriate answers. I never did find out if he'd done anything, and he hid from guy support so it being on going was never an issue. I'm sure it would have come out if he'd stayed in her life and it had continued.
On the plus side, as a result of our easy communication that I'd kept up he whole life, when she was a teen and things like sex and drugs were the topics, she knew she could come to me and that I'd calmly listen to whatever issue was there. She knew I'd be able to handle it calmly, even if it was something horrific. She always knew where I stood on different issues, was always willing to put in her opinion, knowing that it would be listened to, but always knew that I had final say. The point is, she was very capable of telling me things like if a bully was trying to hurt her etc.
One year there was a teacher removed from her school. I never heard officially why, but the rumors that followed were that there were allegations of sexual misconduct with a student. This man worked directly with my daughter, privately, for 2 years. I never once suspected anything like this, and never did she show any signs of anything strange going on. When I asked her, during casual conversation about anything and everything, she said she couldn't believe he'd be accused of that and never did anything like that to her. I know and feel that I can believe her... that she'd tell me if he had been. She was 11 or 12 at the time so it was a bit different and we had years of practice under our belts.
If your daughter continues with the disturbing behavior or displays more, see a different doctor, she's almost school age, see the counselor is it's after school starts, get her in to a counselor yourself. Take the time to talk with these people about your concerns and what you've seen that makes you wonder before you bring her within earshot. Make them fully aware of your concerns without tainting her perspective or having her overhear you.
My vag has a lot of discharge everyday, i wear pantiliners, MAKE IT STOP.?
i wear pantiliners everrrryday because i dont like feeling "wet" and my discharge goes through my panties sometimes onto my pants and thats embarrassing. so i wear liners.
can't be sex related, i'm a virgin.
and a teenager. when i was a pre-teen/early teenager i didnt have this problem.
what can i do to make it stop? gaaaah
You should see a gynocologist. You may have an infection or a different problem that he can help with. You can find a female doctor if it makes you more comfortable.

Hey, I have a question that's been driving me crazy.
I want to know if increasing the pace of the game will reduce the overall balance of the game. "Increasing the pace" can refer to the pace at which a timer progresses, movement speed, the speed at which something dies, etc.
The reason I'm asking is because this is in reference to a PvP oriented turn based game where each player has an equal number of pieces. Chess might be the closest example to this game. Of those of us designing the game; some of us are under the impression that if you increase the rate at which pieces disappear from the board then the game becomes less balanced, while others disagree. There are some of us who find that an increased speed creates a less balanced game because the longer the pieces remain on the board the more strategic options are available to the player, especially since the speed increase prevents players from attempting to "save" their pieces from being removed; it's also argued that more types of game pieces benefit from a slower pace. While the others argue that if both pieces are removed at an equal rate then that's technically "balanced", they also argue that increasing the speed of the game creates an "equal yet different" strategic game.
Any thoughts? It doesn't have to be specific to my game. Does increasing the pace of your game inherently reduce the PvP balance of a game?
Your arguments against seem to be more about game depth than balance. I'm almost always for more game depth if it doesn't make the game too complicated in the way of controls. I think that's one of the problems with indie development, you really need play testers to find out what a majority of players like. As a general rule, I think increasing speed causes less strategy. You don't have the time to think over all the options, but most people like the natural fluidity of non turn based games even still. If it's already turn based, then I would think the added strategy elements would be worth keeping.

Theodore Winge (-2G)
a paternal grand uncle
* marks my direct-line ancestors. The (-2G), etc., after the names represents the number of generations before Erven Thoma
Theodore was the last child of Martha and Wilhelm Winge.
His siblings included: Adelheid (Adeline)* (b. 23 Apr. 1876), Hedwig (Hattie) (b. 13 Sept. 1877), Martha (b. in Jan/Feb. 1880), Margaretha (b. 2 Sept. 1881), William (b. 19 May 1883), Robert (b. 30 May 1885), Frances (b. 23 Oct. 1886), Emma A. (b. 26 Sept. 1888), Aloys J. (b. 26 Nov. 1890), and Johann (John) A. (b. 21 Nov. 1892); all were born before Theodore.
Siblings Mazrtha, Margaretha, and Robert died before Theodore was born.
The St. Louis Birth Register (vol. 76-B, no. 4593) lists Theo. Winge born 14 May 1894. This conflicts with the year (1895) given on the S. S. application and the age in the 1920 Census but it agrees with the age on the 1900 and 1910 Census. At this time the family was living at 17th and Neosho Streets in St. Louis. His parents' names are given; both were born in Germany. A Mrs. Schultz was the midwife.
The St. Louis Directories for 1893 and 1894 lists his father, a carpenter, living on the north side of Neosho near 17th. The Directory of 1895 lists the father as a cabinet maker, at the same address. The Directory of 1896 lists the father as cabinet maker, living at 4449 S. 17th. The Directories of 1897-99 list the father as cabinet maker, living at 4460 S. 17th.
The 1900 Census for St. Louis (enum. dist. 179, sheet 6, lines 48-56) list Theodore, age 6 years old, living with his parents and siblings at 4460 S. 17th St.
When his sister Adeline got married (20 Dec. 1904), Theodore, his parents and siblings were living at 4460 S. 17th St. in St. Louis.
In the 1910 Census for St. Louis, MO, Theodore is living with his parents and some siblings (enum. dist. 206, sheet 198). He is 16 years old and is an apprentice (in a building trade). They are still living at 4460 S. 17th St.
The 1910 and 1911 St. Louis Directories list William Winge, a cabinet maker, living at 4460 S. 17th St.
Sometime between 1911 and 1915 Wilhelm, his wife, and their last child, Ted, (I believe) moved out to Bollinger County in Missouri where they had bought a small farm near Fredrickstown. William does not appear in the 1915 St. Louis Directory.
He registered with the WWI draft board in Bollinger County, MO on 03 June 1917 (roll 1683151, card 17, board 0). At the time he was 23 years old and was born on 14 May 1894 in St. Louis. He was livingin Patton, Bollinger County, MO[with his parents]. He is a self-employed farmer and has not been in military service before. He is single but has two dependents, his parents, because of which he claims exemption from service.
Although he was just married, he was inducted into the Army on 3 Oct. 1917 at Marble Hill, MO. At the time he was living in Patton, MO. At induction he was 23-1/2 years old, born in St. Louis. He served in World War 1, serving overseas from 27 Aug. 1918 to 8 Mar. 1919, and was discharged in or after Aug. 1919. He was in Battery B336 FA up until his discharge. He participated in no engagements, received no wounds, and was not disabled. His highest rank was Mess Sgt; his Army serial number was 2.115.445. He received an honorable discharge (Form 724-1 A.G.O.).
The St. Louis City Directory of 1918 has Theo. Winge (USA) living at 5509a Virginia. I believe that the "(USA)" as an employer means he was working for the federal government, most likely the Army (see the previous paragraph).
There is a Theodore Winge (25 years old) listed in the 1920 Census for Missouri (vol. 8, enum. dist. 8, sheet 3, line 14). He is living in Bollinger county with his father and mother. Nellie, the wife of Theodore, age 25 is also living there. This farm was located 12 miles outside of Fredricktown MO.
The 1922 St. Louis City Directory lists Theo. Winge, cabinet maker, living at 5605 Michigan Ave. But his father does not appear in this Directory, so I suppose he is still on the farm in Bollinger County. The Dir. of 1924 has Theo. Winge, cabinetmaker, living at 3969 Burgen Ave. The 1925 Dir. has him as a carpenter, at the same address.
Ted built the house on Wilmington Ave. in St. Louis for Otto Thoma (-2G) and his family ca. 1926.
The 1926 St. Louis Directory has Theo. Winge, building contractor at 5242 Robert Ave., residing at 3969 Burgen Ave. The 1927 Dir. has the same information.
The 1930 Fed. Census for Missouri (roll T626_1240, enum. dist. 143, supv. dist. 8, sheet 27A, lines 35-38, dated 22 Apr.) lists Theodore Winge and his family living at 5242 Robert St. in St. Louis (city ward 24, block 5826). He is 35 years old, born in Missouri, parents born in Germany. He was married at age 23. He is not in school but reads, writes, and speaks English. His occupation is carpenter. He served in World War 1. His wife, Nellie is 35 years old, born in Illinois, parents also born in Illinois. She was also married at age 23. She is not in school but reads, writes, and speaks English. No occupation is given for her. They own the home which is valued at $10,000. Their one daughter is 8 years old, was born in Missouri. She is in school. Their other daughter is 11 months old (or 1 year, 11 months?), born in Missouri. She is not yet in school.
The 1936 St. Louis Directory has Theo (Nellie) Winge, buildingcontractor at 4336 Holly Hills Blvd., home at same location.
Emil Otto Thoma (-1G) worked for him around 1936 at Ted's business, 4336 Holly Hills in St. Louis.
The St. Louis County Directory of 1939 has Theo. Winge, with wife Hilda, as a building contractor, living at 1325 Grant Rd. in Webster Groves, MO. The St. Louis (city) Directory of 1941 has Hilda T. Winge, vp-sec of White Line Laundry Co., Inc. and living at 1325 Grant Rd. in Affton. The 1941 St. Louis County Dir. has Theo (Hilda) Winge, Bldg. Fab. Matl. Co., home at 1325 Grant in Webster Groves. The 1942 St. Louis City Dir. has a separate listing for Hilde T. Winge, v-pres. of White Line Laundry Co., residing at 1325 Grant Rd. in Affton.
