Serj Tankian, 'Harakiri' – Best Rock Songs of 2012
Serj Tankian pioneered a successful solo career during the hiatus of System of a Down, and although System are now back together, Tankian is still putting a great deal of effort into his solo work. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Tankian's latest solo album, 'Harakiri,' and its title track.
'Harakiri' serves as an effigy for the mysterious deaths of thousands of fish and birds, while depicting the strange events as a ritualistic mass suicide in protest to the damage human beings inflict upon the natural world. Tankian's voice soars in the chorus, while peacefully drawing his listeners into absorbing his lyrics within the verses.

Sizzling Sports Illustrated model Gigi Hadid and her hot Australian singer BF Cody Simpson took a break from their other work projects to shoot the music video for Cody's new hit "Surfboard" over the weekend.
The cool song is about Cody's dream gal, so it made total sense for him to pick the Palestinian beauty to star in his video.
19-year-old Gigi, and Cody 17, have now been dating for almost a year, which explains why they looked extremely natural and comfortable with one another while on shoot.
The couple kept their fans up-to-date by posting behind-the-scenes snapshots of the shoot. The pair looked very intimate and in love as they cuddled up, with their foreheads touching and Cody holding onto his model girlfriend's waist.
Both teenagers rocked cool beach-style attire suited for the "Surfboard" track.
Another intimate shot showed the love birds on the verge of locking lips, while Gigi channelled a gorgeous and dreamy mermaid Goddess in a plunging white dress.
In-between takes, Gigi posted an adorable selfie of her arms around Cody's neck, and another of her planting a kiss on his cheek. Aww!
Although Gigi is no stranger to cameras, this is the swimwear model's first experience shooting a music video!
When asked by a Twitter fan what she loved most about appearing in Cody's video, she replied, 'getting to hang w my best friend all day.'

text: Home → News Saratoga Springs paid a high price to fire employee Mary Zlotnick By LUCIAN McCARTY Posted: 05/24/13, 12:01 AM EDT | Updated: on 05/24/2013 # Comments Editor's note: A 2014 court ruling found the city wrongfully fired Mary Zlotnick, former assessment clerk in the Accounts Department. See story here.��SARATOGA SPRINGS -- So far, the city has spent $61,340 to fire Mary Zlotnick from her $33,000-a-year job. Zlotnick was an assessment clerk in the Accounts Department until December, when she was fired for insubordination. The termination came at the end of roughly 57 hours of hearings in City Hall. In August, the clerk was suspended for five days for insubordination. During a subsequent disciplinary hearing, Zlotnick made several allegations of professional malfeasance on the part of Assistant City Assessor Tony Popolizio, her direct superior. Zlotnick went to the police, district attorney and the attorney general's office with her allegations, but none opted to file any charges. The attorney general's office, in fact, has not acknowledged any investigation. Advertisement Zlotnick eventually went to the press to air her allegations, an action that became part of the grounds for her eventual termination, which came after days of hearings. The costs include: o $35,340 for 169.7 hours for Attorney Mark McCarthy of Harris Beach and seven hours of other Harris Beach attorneys' time. They charge $200 an hour. o $21,235.04 for Hearing Officer Christopher Nicolino's time and hotel expenses; he charged $1,600 per diem or $175 an hour. o $4,765.75 in court reporter costs. These figures do not include the time salaried employees, including Deputy Commissioner Sharon Kellner-Chille, Director of Risk and Safety Marilyn Rivers and Accounts Commissioner John Franck, spent wrapped up in the days of hearings, which was significant. The figures also do not include the $7,500 city officials decided to allocate to defend themselves against a lawsuit Zlotnick filed at the May 7 City Council meeting. "It's just the process; as a city, we have to defend ourselves," Franck said. He said the costs will be paid for out of his own department's budget. "I didn't know how long it was going to go," he said. "This started as a five-day suspension for her not doing her job. I didn't know all of this other stuff was going to pop up. She wanted everything in the open." Franck said the accusations also led him to invest significant time and energy into checking all condominium assessments to ensure there were no issues, as Zlotnick alleged. "Tony followed the law," Franck said. Zlotnick's attorney, Mark Walsh, could not immediately be reached for comment. Subscribe to Home Delivery for only $3.00 per week!

Getting Things Done by David Allen is the revised second edition of a book on organization and productivity, which was originally published in 2001. Allen takes listeners through the implementation of his method for personal and professional productivity, beginning with the various messy piles of incomplete tasks many people have lying around, and creates structured, trustworthy systems for capturing new tasks and deciding on the next actions to take. The method begins with an overview of the five steps for structuring workflow: capture, clarify, organize, reflect, and engage. Then new principles and processes are introduced, including the four criteria for choosing which action to take on next, the threefold model for evaluating what work must be done, and the six levels - or horizons - for reviewing a task. The methods make considerable use of lists, physical inboxes, and folders. By the end of the book, the listener will have all the tools to create systems, files, and lists necessary to carry out their day-to-day projects, with fewer things falling through the cracks and less anxiety over what has fallen behind or gone undone.
This companion to Getting Things Done includes:
©2015 Eureka Books (P)2015 Eureka Books
This summary is a complete waste of time. I have read the book , and wanted a resource for a quick refresher. This summary does not touch on any of the implementation recommendations , no tools mentioned , no systems described . Do not waste your time.
Was excited to review the GTD principals again, and not sure what they were talking about?
It seemed like they were talking about their industry and experiences vs advise to others. Didn't get it.
I'm not sure if I wasn't in the right mood for the book, but i'm definitely not going to go back and try again. Love GTD, read everyone of the books because i'm constantly seeking refreshers and ideas on how to implement into my life and business. This did not help "me."

The withdrawal of Kingfisher Airlines' domestic airport slots and international flying rights by India's Ministry of Civil Aviation on February 25 could make a phased restart of the carrier even more challenging. Meanwhile, authorities have de-registered 13 of the 37 aircraft parked in India, but airports haven't allowed lessors to claim their assets until Kingfisher pays pending dues totaling $72 million.
"[Kingfisher has] to give some guarantee [to pay]," said Airports Authority of India chairman V.P. Agrawal. "Bank checks worth $21 million…bounced. A legal issue is going on."
Not permitting lessors to recover their aircraft contravenes the Cape Town Convention and India "could lose trust of lessors" that view it as a risk-averse market, Agrawal told AIN.
"We will soon meet with the ministry of civil aviation to take a decision [to let the airplanes go]," he said.
Rival carriers can claim Kingfisher's withdrawn rights are due to "non-utilization" and they most covet those in Mumbai, said an airline official who did not want to be named. "Our priority is to distribute these rights to interested Indian carriers that want to operate on these sectors," minister of civil aviation Ajit Singh said. Authorities have also withdrawn Kingfisher's parking slots at domestic airports.
Kingfisher came into being before the launch of budget carriers SpiceJet, GoAir and IndiGo and had acquired 21 daily prime slots from Mumbai to Bangalore/Goa/Chennai. "Parking that is constrained in Mumbai and Pune because of the air force base is also attractive," the airline official told AIN.
Kingfisher, which hasn't operated in five months, offered around 3,500 seats a day on its international network. It operated seven weekly flights to London, 21 to Dubai, 21 to Bangkok, seven to Kathmandu, 14 to Dacca, 35 to Sri Lanka, 14 to Hong Kong and seven to Singapore. While most of the segments are available since Kingfisher flew so-called "me-too routes," Dubai ranks as the most attractive, "though it is the Dubai airport that is constrained for slots," said the official. Departure timings of Kingfisher's international flights represent an added attraction for those looking for slots, such as Jet Airways, which is expected to sign a deal with Abu Dhabi-based Etihad.

Kind-hearted Zookeeper Griffin Keyes (Kevin James) is in love with the beautiful Stephanie (Leslie Bibb), and as such, proposes to her. Unfortunately, she rejects his proposal because she is embarrassed by his profession as a zookeeper. Five years later, Griffin has moved up to lead Zookeeper, and apparently has acquired the ability to talk to animals.
After five years, Grffin's brother is getting married, bringing Stephanie back into Griffin's life, and Griffin is beside himself with optimism. However, despite the progress he has made in his career, he continues to behave in the same awkward, clumsy way around Stephanie as he did five years earlier, and requires some much needed advice that will help him win back his true love. That's where the talking animals come in. Unfortunately for Griffin, some of the advice offered by the animals does not transition well in the world of humans.
Meanwhile, Stephanie continues to encourage Griffin to consider a career change.
And, as if Griffin is not enduring enough, Stephanie's ex-boyfriend Gale also arrives on the scene, once again as Griffin's greatest rival. And the presence of a friendly female co-worker, Kate (Rosario Dawson), who seems to take an interest in Griffin, may prove to complicate matters even further.
Ultimately, Griffin is torn between two loves: his job, or Stephanie.
Zookeeper proves to be a perfect film for Kevin James, as it sets the stage for the niche that James has created for himself in films as a clumsy and awkward man who struggles to get the girl but is plagued with self-doubt. By the same token, James brings his classic brand of comedy to the screen for the very same reason.
The talking animals in the film serve more as co-stars then as movie props, and the interactions are both genuine and comical.
Joe (Sylvester Stallone) and Janet (Cher), two lions, engage in comical banter throughout the film, while Jerome (Jon Favreau) and Bruce (Faizon Love), both bears, engage in a friendly antagonistic relationship that often results in witty outbursts. Both relationships add a level of hilarity to the film.
The advice that Griffin is offered, and then follows out of desperation, provides for some of the most comical moments in the film. For example, Sebastian the Wolf (Bas Rutten) encourages Griffin to mark his territory in order to defeat all other rivals for Stephanie's affection, and this proves to be a wonderful moment in the film for James to showcase his comedic abilities.
Adult audiences may enjoy the adult innuendoes throughout the film, while younger audiences may enjoy the endless amount of scatological comedy.
Likewise, James, as one of the film's writers, is able to bring his brand of comical self-deprecation to the big screen in a variety of ways, including a scene in which Griffin attempts to ride an ostrich, but nearly crushes it as a result of his weight.
Voiceovers for the animals feature an array of prominent and comical performers, including Nick Nolte as Bernie the Gorilla, Adam Sandler as Donald the Monkey, and Judd Apatow as Barry the Elephant.
In addition to the humor, Zookeeper offers a positive moral, which is that one must stay true to oneself and should not feel the necessity to change in order to win another's affections.
It also emphasizes the importance of friendship and encourages the kind treatment of animals.
While the film proves to be both entertaining and comical, there are some areas that need work.
First, the film at times appears to cut out important steps in the story, in an unnecessary effort to fast-forward to the action.
Likewise, the movie entails a strong environmentalist message that compares animals to humans.
The film also makes an annoying reference to "negative energy" as Stephanie discusses her fen shui decorating style and her practice of yoga.
As James is one of the writers for the film, it may come as no surprise that the storyline includes two beautiful women who have somehow taken an interest in the protagonist. However, James' unique brand of likeability and sincerity will likely have moviegoers rooting for his happiness every step of the way.
A PG film, Zookeeper relatively remains within the confines of its ratings, absent explicit sexuality or vulgar language, and including violence only of the slapstick comedy variety.
Overall, Zookeeper is a cute and funny film, and could certainly qualify as a family film with enough elements to appeal to most audiences. But some of the innuendoes may perturb parents of children who are just old enough to understand the reference. Parents may also wish to address what seems to be a clear equating of animals to humans.

Apparent Weight
Gravity causes Weight
An objects weight is how hard gravity is pulling on it.
Our normal experience is that this doesn't change ... because we all live on the surface of the planet Earth!
Gravity is a basic part of nature where all objects with mass attract each other.
The Earth, with a mass of 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg (that is 5.9736×1024 kg in Scientific Notation) pulls objects towards it with quite a large force!
It is funny to think that the 100 kg mass actually pulls the Earth towards it, too! But not by very much at all.
But Scales Measure "Apparent Weight"
|Scales can measure the downwards force ... but they can be fooled, because they measure any "downwards force" and don't know if it is gravity or some other force!
Just jump up and down (gently!) on your scales at home to see your apparent weight change, while your weight (and mass) stays the same.
Your weight is the same (because the force of gravity hasn't changed), but your apparent weight changes.Here is another example:
Put the object in an elevator as it moves
... the scales show less!
But it still has a weight of 100 kg.
Acceleration (how fast velocity changes) needs force, and the scales show this.
Question: What happens to the apparent weight when the elevator accelerates UP?
Changing Speed
If something is pulled with a continuous force (and there is nothing dragging it back) it will continually speed up! So changing speed and force are connected.
Have you noticed how you feel lighter when an elevator first starts moving down, and you feel heavier when it slows again?
That is because the speed needs to be changing to affect the apparent weight!
If the elevator is moving at a constant speed there is no difference in the apparent weight compared to when it is sitting still.
Why? It takes force to make something move faster (or slower). If something moves at the same speed you will not feel any extra force.
That is why you can sit in a speeding car or train, and everything seems normal (unless the driver speeds up or puts the brakes on).

BTW these work great for target practice in your bathroom (need to use a different kind of gun, though). When you get up in the middle of the night, no need to turn on the light. Just fire away, flush, and no mess to clean up the next morning. Makes it easier to go back to sleep if you haven't been exposed to bright light.
If I were to use a handgun for this purpose, I would get tritium night sights that glow in the dark, one where the dot on the front sight is a different color than the dots on the rear sight. Put the odd-colored dot in the middle and the sights are properly aligned. If all the dots are the same color, it can be easy to put the wrong dot in the middle (even if the front dot is a different shape).

My primary HD weapon is the Sig 226 .357Sig with CT Grips that becomes my primary carry weapon as soon as I put on my pants so storage is not a problem and I have a Mossberg 500 as backup. I also have a bunch of Streamlights one in the headboard below my Sig when I'm in bed.

How hard is it to find 10mm ammo? I mean if you are accurate enough you can kill anyone with any ammo but as you all are saying; adrenaline, heart pounding, visibility etc would I want a 10mm if i know i won't be as accurate as i am on the range relaxed? I was leaning toward a full framed .40/.45 Glock for HD. Would that be over the top?

I used to use a HKUSP45C with a laser, but I've switched a few years ago to my EDC, a Kimber UCDP, as I shoot it far better, faster, and it has night sights, which I recommend to anybody for their HD weapon. I have a small flashlight next to it. My house is bathed in electronic glows in just about every room except the living room, where I would expect an encounter. The outside of my house is also filled with motion detecting floodlights that really do work to keep punks away.

I am the weapon; my gun is a tool. It's regrettable that with some people those descriptors are reversed.

A 12 gauge Shotgun should suffice, but I do not recommend them if you have children in the house. My nightstand firearm is my Sig Pro 2022 .40 with Siglite night sights, Crimsontrace Lasergrip and XTI Procyon Tactical Illuminator. I don't believe all of that is needed, but the night sights are a must.

The German Shepard or any other dog won't work as my wife has terrible allergys. I do have a black lab that likes to bark outside in a kennel, but he is getting old and his hearing is suspect as I can even sneak up on him now and then. His nose is very good though and if the wind direction is right he picks up on it very quickly. I have plenty of 12 gauge shotguns and as I've said before, that is my weapon of choice if I decide to take cover and let the threat come to me. The handgun is for times when like a fool according to some, I choose to investigate a "possible" threat inside the house. I live in an older home and the rooms are somewhat chopped up so I am not sure the shotgun would work well manuevering around hallways. I DO need to get myself something better than my $2.00 flashlight that always ends up in my daughters room. As far as the slippers go......no, I'm not a slippers kind of guy.

My set-up is as follows. 9mmP with firstlight next to pistol as well as small leather carry bag which I would have the following inside:
1. Tourniquet.
2. Spare Mag
3. Cell phone.
If I need to go investigate, I would sling the leather bag around my neck and have everything with me that I need.

Munich, Germany, 2013/11/19 - Fierce Network expansion requires scalable technology - AdvaOptical.com. FSE: ADV
ADVA Optical Networking announced today that SysEleven has deployed the ADVA FSP 3000 to answer fierce bandwidth demand. One of Berlin's leading internet service providers (ISPs), SysEleven has expanded its network several times in the past twelve months to accommodate continued customer growth. The ADVA FSP 3000 connects SysEleven's data centers within the city, ensuring robust, reliable and secure optical transport for its customers cloud-based and virtualized applications. The network was deployed and will be maintained by ADVA Optical Networking's Elite partner Axians. Further expansion is expected in 2014.
Berlin's digital society is one of the most vibrant in Germany, in all of Europe. It's a society that's growing at a phenomenal rate; a society that has significant expectations, said Marc Korthaus, founder and CEO, SysEleven. It's these growing expectations that explain why our network is expanding so rapidly. There are very few companies in Berlin prepared to invest in the city's digital infrastructure, in the city's future. We're proud to be one of them. We're building an optical infrastructure that exceeds our customers' and the city's expectations. That's why the scalability of the ADVA FSP 3000 is so key. We know that it will meet our networking ambitions, regardless of how big those ambitions become.
The inherent scalability of the ADVA FSP 3000 played a decisive role in its selection. From 10Gbit/s to 100Gbit/s and beyond, the ADVA FSP 3000 grows at the pace of your network and your customers' needs. What's more, its plug-and-play simplicity is key, especially for smaller enterprises that wish to rapidly respond to new network opportunities. The ADVA FSP 3000 connects Berlins most relevant carrier neutral data centers in a redundant ring topology, providing its customers with effective high-speed access backed by robust service level agreements. SysElevens ability to connect customers to any combination of these five data centers independent of other network operators enables Berlins entire ISP scene to grow and expand rapidly.
SysEleven is an exciting company. It's young, it's ambitious, it's dynamic. In many ways, it embodies the values of Berlin's digital society, of its digital culture, commented Hartmut Müller-Leitloff, vice president, Sales Central Europe, ADVA Optical Networking. Our team is intent on helping SysEleven drive its network forward. Indeed, our technology will play an intrinsic role in developing an optical infrastructure that outstrips all expectations and, more importantly, enables it to grow. What's key here is that we, along with our trusted partner Axians, continue to provide the most resilient and secure data transport possible. Ultimately, SysEleven is trusting us with its customers' data, with its business and this is something that we never take for granted.
SysEleven is growing at an incredible rate. Its team, its customers, its network - this is a company that's moving fast, said Detlev Schmidt, head of business unit, Carrier & Service Providers, Axians. Their network is 100G ready today the exception, not the rule in Berlins ISP community. Our role is to help it achieve its ambitions, help its customers succeed. That's why being an Elite Partner with ADVA Optical Networking (advaoptical.com) is so important. Being a part of its Partner Ecosphere Program enables us to deliver the best services possible. Our team has an in-depth understanding of the ADVA FSP 3000. We understand its design, its technology, its capabilities. As such, we can provide SysEleven with the most advanced support of this product available.

Australia's third-most-capped Socceroo of all time, Brett Emerton, will announce on Thursday that his 18-year professional career is over.
The club will host a media conference to formalise the end of a journey that has taken him to the heights of the game for club and country.
When news of Emerton's decision broke on Wednesday, the club decided against making any comment, preferring to wait for the official announcement.
Emerton, 34, has laboured through a difficult final season at Sydney FC and was taken off after just 52 minutes in last week's Sydney derby, citing a back injury.
He has been battling a chronic complaint for the past six months and despite repeated attempts to overcome the problem it has clearly restricted his output.
The writing was on the wall for Emerton in the aftermath of the 1-0 derby defeat, with coach Frank Farina all but conceding his Australian marquee player was losing the battle with injury.
Emerton, who hails from western Sydney and still lives in the area, looked disconsolate after being substituted. "He didn't carry anything [injury-related] into the game but it's well documented Brett's had issues with his back and he said at half-time it was tightening up again," Farina said.
"His back has been giving him problems for a couple of years and I've known Brett long enough so that when he says something is wrong, it's just better to take him off."
Emerton has endured a tough finish to an otherwise brilliant career, one which took in successful spells at Dutch giant Feyenoord and English club Blackburn Rovers after starring in the National Soccer League with Sydney Olympic.
At a time when young players were in a rush to head to overseas leagues, Emerton didn't leave until he was 23, establishing himself as a genuine star of the local competition.
Once Emerton broke into the European game he was an instant hit in the Netherlands and gained a winner's medal from the club's UEFA Cup run in 2002, moving to the English Premier League a year later.
After he racked up almost 300 appearances in all competitions during a nine-year spell with Rovers, it was a surprise when he quit the English Premier League in 2011 to sign with Sydney FC.
But things never quite worked out as hoped on his return, though he did manage to captain the A-League All-Stars against Manchester United in July last year, a moment he described as a "huge honour".
His career ends on 95 international caps, five short of the milestone he craved, and which he hoped to reach at some point during the 2014 World Cup.

June 7 was twice as special of a day for Northpoint student Sam Sheedlo.
Not only was it the last day of school for Sam before summer vacation, it was also the day he and 182 of his third-grade classmates earned the distinct honor of being named the first class to graduate from the K-3 school – a school in Blaine which was a mere field and a dream about five years ago.
Sam was four years old when he was part of a golden shovel team. The team in 2008 dug into the ground and unearthed the first shovelfuls of dirt that would become the 86,000 square-foot Northpoint. A school firmly planted in the community and reaping fond memories for the students, particularly the third-graders, now older and wiser, carving their way to a higher education.
Northpoint Facts
• 2350 124th Court, Blaine
• K-3 elementary school
• 700 student capacity
• Construction started in 2007
• Officially opened September 2008
• $12 million, two-story brick building
• Came in on budget
• Financed as part of a $95.9 million bond
referendum passed by voters February 2006
• Students drew from the former Kenneth Hall,
Woodcrest and Park Terrace elementary schools
• Built by Kraus-Anderson Construction Company
• Designed by Wold Architects and Engineers
"It took a long time to build, but it was worth the wait," said Sam, now nine years old.
The graduation
The last afternoon of the school year, Northpoint's third-graders marched into the school gymnasium to a packed audience of about 350 family members and friends.
"This reinforces the fact that we have a great school, a supportive school, a school that does great things for kids," said Principal Mike Callahan about the number of well wishers who showed up for the celebration.
Callahan, who has led the school since day one, shared a few memories with the children. About that first day of school four years ago when they walked into the new Northpoint saying "Holy cow!," he said. And "where's my classroom?"
Callahan offered three words of advice to the students.
"Do your best" he said. Words they should keep in mind when they head off to fourth grade at Westwood Intermediate School. Words that will help them in high school and maybe college, and at a job someday, he said.
A group of teachers assembled a typical Northpoint student for the audience. They added a smile, a big heart and a book tucked inside the arms of a life-size stuffed figure dressed in jeans, T-shirt and sneakers. The book was included because Northpoint students are good readers, they said.
A video tape captured some of the students' favorite memories of their time spent in the building. Their teachers. I Love to Read Month. A place where they learned to read and write. The field trips (to Minnesota Zoo, Como Zoo and Underwater Adventures at the Mall of America).
"We love Northpoint," the kids cheered at the end of the video.
Then, the students rose and for the last time sang the all-school song together. The graduation was followed by an ice cream social held behind the school.
"I was encouraged but not surprised," Callahan said about the large audience turnout in an interview following the event. "But it's what I've been a part of for the last four years, the parent involvement and the support…."
Molly Sheedlo, the first PTO president of Northpoint and Sam's mom, echoed Callahan's thoughts.
"The parent support is incredible, and it always has been from the start," she said at the ice cream social.
A lot going on
Since day one, the students have had visits from the Minnesota Twins mascot TC Bear, a bicycle stunt rider, Ronald McDonald talking about bullying, field trips, theater opportunities and much more. That's not to mention all of the other learning going on.
The school celebrates fall with a festival. During movie night in January both the gymnasium and cafeteria are packed with moms, dads and kids well stocked with sleeping bags and pillows. This spring the school presented its second multicultural arts fair, representing more than 17 countries.
"It's great to see these five- to six-year-olds arrive at the building and depart feeling successful," Callahan said about the third-grade graduating class. "From start to finish, it's pretty special."
As for Sam, the best part of Northpoint were the people, the students, he said. His best memory in his four years at the school are the track and field days.
But Sam now looks to the future, to starting anew at Westwood.
"It feels good," he said. "Next year's going to be fun."

WATCH: All Out Of Love? Go Back In Time With This Music Medley Of Men Moving On Through The Years
Can you tell I'm really loving this medley of men moving on from their relationships through the years? With each song they've used, they're using my favorite parts!
Songs by Justin Timberlake, Eamon, Maroon 5, and The Beatles were used to possibly inspire the heartbroken men.
The way all of these songs have been mixed together to create the medley really is amazing.
Britney Spears.
I'm sure you know exactly which one I'm taking about!
If you're anything like me, you're feeling a lot less bitter and quite a bit more festive. We've got you covered! Kurt Schneider on Youtube has come up with a brilliant, slightly more romantic music medley. You can check that out below!
Justin Bieber sounds about ten thousand times better thanks to Chester See. The Beatles were featured once again, which isn't surprising because their music is phenomenal. Lovely Selena Gomez was featured as well.
Curious about who else was featured? Watch the two videos and let us know your favorites!

I finally booked my appointment for July 31st. The surgery was performed at an outpatient center close to Brandon Hospital.
I am very please with my result so far. I am 11 days out and still a little swollen. For me, taking out the drains was the worst part. They were removed 6 days after the surgery, which was performed on the 31st of July. I will keep posting updates and pictures for those of you who live in the Tampa area and wish to go to someone who is recommended.
I started back to work on 8/10, only 10 days after the procedure. I hope to only hear of posts like mine in the future and wish everyone great results!!!
OH YEAH...no more tattoo
Updated on Aug 24, 2009:
Another Update @ 3 1/2 weeks
I went to the doc this am for my 3rd post op visit. He removed the surgical tape, and was actually quite surprised it was still on there. He had to remove 2 stitches that were poking through. He also thought since there is quite a bit of swelling down at the incision site that there might be some fluid buildup. He tried several times, to remove it with a needle, but nothing came out. He did re-assure me that it will go down and said that swelling last anywhere from 6weeks to 3 months. My next appt will be in 4 weeks. He also recommended to either use Maderma for OTC, or something they sell at the office that was prescription strength, called Kelocote. He explained that most people who use Kelocote after a TT get the spray instead of the lotion. I know you can find them both on the internet for alot cheaper than in stores.
Last week I thought I would never stand up straight again. Luckily, I am. My doctor also said I no longer need to wear the binder, he just suggested some of the support underwear and maybe even tank that hold you in. I am guessing, if you are looking into a tummy tuck, you may have pleanty of those already in your drawers.
I know some of you will not be totally please with result like mine, particularly because of the stretch marks. Although they were not high on my wish list, I am learning to love them. After all, not everyone can be as GEARGEOUS as you.
Last, but not least, I want to wish everyone a speady recovery. And for those who do decide to get a procedure done, make sure to come back to this website and share your experience, and please, please, please DO NOT forget to post pictures.

TPWD News Release — July 13, 2007
EL PASO, Texas — A workshop to be held here Aug. 15 will help people who own or manage property in the Trans-Pecos region of West Texas and in neighboring southern New Mexico and northern Mexico learn about healthy land management practices for wildlife habitat and sustainable methods to diversify their income.
Land fragmentation, habitat degradation and associated non-native invasive species are the main threats to wildlife in Texas and around the world. Urbanization and other development decrease available wildlife habitat, eliminating travel corridors and disrupting wildlife access to essential feeding, cover areas and space. However, experts say there are beneficial tactics for holistic land management and conservation development.
The Aug. 15 workshop in El Paso is part of a statewide series designed to address the growing problem of Texas rural lands being fragmented into smaller tracts. Workshops often engage urban-based owners who are interested in wildlife conservation but may lack experience in wildlife or land management. Workshops provide tools and resources to help landowners achieve their individual goals while managing property to benefit wildlife.
The El Paso workshop includes an introduction to holistic ranch management presented by West Texas landowners who will share their know-how and first-hand experiences with wildlife and habitat management on their Trans-Pecos properties. In addition, participants will learn the critical niche of bats and their free services, such as agricultural insect pest control and crop pollination.
Other workshop topics include the essentials of wildlife and habitat requirements, restoring the land to health, biological monitoring techniques, as well as vital information on providing water for wildlife in arid regions, how to write a wildlife management plan, qualify for wildlife tax appraisal and management of both game and non-game species.
Other speakers include wildlife biologists from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), and experts with Texas Cooperative Extension, Carlsbad Caverns National Park and the Bureau of Land Management State Wildlife Coordinator from New Mexico.
"Landowners have the distinctive ability to assist in restoring habitat and wildlife diversity by participating in holistic habitat management for wildlife and partaking in one of the many private landowner programs offered by various agencies," said Lois Balin, TPWD urban wildlife biologist in El Paso.
TPWD and the Texas Cooperative Extension are co-sponsoring the event, which will take place from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Wednesday, August 15 at the Texas A&M University Research and Extension Center, 1380 A&M Circle (near I-10 East at Americas Ave.) in El Paso.
The cost for the workshop is $20 per person or $35 per couple, which covers lunch, refreshments and materials. Registration is requested by August 13 to ensure that organizers have sufficient workshop materials for attendees; however, registration will be accepted at the door. For more information and reservations, contact Lois Balin at (915) 774-9603 or firstname.lastname@example.com or see the Landowner Workshops calendar on the TPWD Web site.

text: StandardAeroís Winnipeg facility has been approved by Pratt & Whitney Canada as a PW100 designated overhaul facility. The facility also supports the PT6. The European service center team in Tilburg, The Netherlands, will continue to support PW100 and PT6A hot-section-level work, including full accessory capability, a comprehensive test cell and field service support. ìWeíve owned the facility in Tilburg since 1995 and itís been supporting PW100 engines since 1990,î Manny Atwal, vice president of turboprop programs for StandardAero, told AIN. One of the reasons for adding PW100 capability to the Winnipeg facility is proximity to the fleet. ìApproximately 60 percent of the worldís PW100-powered aircraft are in North America and Europe,î he said. According to Atwal, over the last 15 years StandardAero has processed more than 3,000 PW100s. ìThe ability to support multiple P&WC products from one location provides opportunities to improve overall service levels for our customers as we can cross-train technical personnel and move people around to best meet customer requirements,î Atwal said. ìCommon repair development engineering and component repair capabilities will increase part repairs for our customers, thereby reducing overall costs and turnaround time.î

I just bought a Glycolic Home Acid Peel 35% (Gel Form). I'm 27 (nearly 28) and I've noticed I have a some wrinkles around my eyes. I put this down to sunbed use (live and learn) but I'm really concerned about these lines now, I'm too young for fine lines or crows feet so I decided to do something about it.
Will a 35% Glycolic acid peel help me rid of these fine lines? I also have slight acne as well, Will this peel help me with that? Thanks a lot for your help.

Haley says she made her ninth cabinet appointment Friday morning at the Department of Mental Health because the alcohol agency is moving into the mental health building.
This move will allow two state agencies with similar missions to better serve our citizens and save taxpayers approximately $700,000 over the next four years.
"If we can save $700,000 today, what can we do if we start merging other agencies," Haley said during her cabinet announcement Friday morning.

Local Competition, Product Substitutability, and Prices: An Empirical Test
In markets where spatial competition is important, theory predicts increases in producer density (the number of producers per unit area in the local market) should lead to lower average prices. When producers are heterogeneous, this link exists for two reasons. First, the greater product substitutability in denser markets makes it more difficult for high-cost producers to profitably operate because customers can more easily switch to lower-cost producers. This leads to a greater selection of lower-cost producers in dense markets, as the cost distribution is truncated from above. Holding markups constant, this would imply lower prices in such markets. However, the second effect implies that optimal markets should fall in demand density. The greater substitution possibilities in dense markets make firms' residual demand curves more elastic. The combination of greater selection of low-cost producers and smaller markups imply that average (and maximum) prices should be lower in dense markets. I test and find support for these implications using data from U.S. ready-mixed concrete plants. Markets with (arguably exogenous) high demand density levels have lower average and maximum prices. I also show that these findings do not simply result from lower factor prices in dense markets, but rather because dense-market producers are low-cost because they are more efficient

Recreational sport culture in Romania and some European countries (English version)
The aim of the study is to explore how should be manage recreational sport for to be more attractive and feasible for professional active people. The professional literature and official documents issued in developed European countries reveal various meanings for the phrase "recreational sport", some of which extremely rigorous and restrictive and others rather vague and confusing. As for instance, the relationship between sports and economics no longer represents a taboo subject and, in view of the multiple virtues of recreational sports, it tends to expand into the field of leisure sports as well. The experiment revealed that an inferred share of 9 units can be attributed to education, with a share of 23 units allocable to facilities. As far as the way of making such investments, their succession or simultaneity is concerned, it is believed that the investment should be carried out simultaneously, in the above-mentioned ratios. The burden of implementing these findings, regarding the necessity of investments, devolves, anyway, upon the decision-makers, the authors having no grounds to doubt their good intentions regarding the increasing of the quality of life in Romania or concerning the rate of integrating in the EU, as an expression of civilizing.

The Game: San Jose State (1-0) at No. 5 Stanford (0-0). 8 p.m., Pac-12 Networks
Series History: Stanford leads 51-14-1. The Cardinal has won five straight and nine of the last 10 meetings (with all nine victories coming at Stanford Stadium). San Jose State's last victory in Stanford Stadium was a 40-27 triumph on Sept. 9, 2000.
Gametime Weather: 72 degrees at kickoff. High of around 90 in the mid-afternoon.
Matchup to watch: David Fales, Chandler Jones and Noel Grigsby vs. Stanford's secondary.
Before San Jose State's starting running back, Tyler Ervin, went down with an injury in the Spartans' season opener against Sacramento State, the aerial attack was expected to provide San Jose State its best opportunity to score points against the Cardinal defense. Now that's even moreso the case.
In last season's 20-17 Stanford win, San Jose State gained only 72 yards rushing - an average of 2.7 yards per carry. Barring something unforeseen, the Spartans seem unlikely to have any more success on the ground against Stanford's stout front-seven this year.
Instead, the Cardinal is likely to see a heavy dose of projected first-round NFL draft pick Fales and his talented group of receivers. Fales completed 24 of 35 passes for 216 yards in last year's matchup. If anything, he'll throw more frequently this time around.
"The combination of his accuracy and the fact that he can go through his reads very quickly is very impressive," Stanford coach David Shaw said.
"He can fit tight balls in. He played extremely well (in last year's meeting) and still had a few balls that were dropped on him that were very well placed."
Fales also has the skillset to disrupt Stanford's tenacious pass rush.
"He's hard to get to," Shaw said. "He's hard to sack because he has as such a quick release and he's played so much football. He sees things quickly and gets the ball out of his hands. He's one of the best in the nation."
After Stanford jumped out to an early 14-0 lead, San Jose State and Fales put a major scare in the Cardinal last season.
"They came out fast and punched us a couple of times in the mouth," Cardinal defensive back Usua Amanam said. "It wasn't until the third or fourth quarter that we realized we were in a dogfight.
"Looking back on that game is going to help us prepare for this year's game a little better. We're a little more aware of what they're capable of."
Stanford clinched the victory when Ed Reynolds made his first of six interceptions on the season with a little more than a minute left.
"It was real close," Stepfan Taylor said after the game. "But close will get you beat in a heartbeat."
Stanford Health Report: No injuries reported.
San Jose State Injury Report: OUT - LB Vince Buhagiar; DOUBTFUL: RB Tyler Ervin, PROBABLE: Christian Tago, Damon Ogburn, Jr.
Vegas Line: Stanford by 25/26
Style Update: Stanford is expected to don its home red jerseys, San Jose State its road white… Cardinal linebacker Shayne Skov was recently cleared to practice without his knee brace. He's still not sure whether he will wear it in the game, however. "It's kind of a crutch," Skov said. "I've got no problem playing without it, but having gone through injuries, I don't know if I want to take that risk."… Skov's trademark Mohawk will make its triumphant return for the season opener…. No word on whether Skov's "Party in the Backfield" comrades will sport similar hairstyles.
Cardinal/Spartan Connection: Stanford running back coach Tavita Pritchard's second cousin Christian Tago is expected to start at linebacker for San Jose State… Five Bellarmine Prep alums will suit up on Saturday: Kyle Olugbode, Kevin Danser and Usua Amanam for Stanford, Brad Kuh and Tim Crawley for Bellarmine. A sixth Bellarmine alum, Ron Caragher, will be on the sidelines coaching the Spartans... Kevin Danser's older brother, Chris Danser, played two seasons for San Jose State before transferring to the University of San Diego.
Off-field storylines: Cardinal head coach David Shaw was none too pleased by Spartan head coach Ron Caragher's comments that seemed to blame Stanford for the end of the series between the two teams. "I want to make sure everyone knows this is still a mutual thing between Stanford and San Jose State, hopefully we can reach an agreement," David Shaw said. "It was insinuated by Coach Caragher that this was our decision, that we don't want to play a home-and-home, so that's why it's going away. Completely not the case."
"This is something between the two of us. There is still another financial component which is still not for public consumption. But it's between the two universities. I just want that to be known: We're not making this game impossible. It's something we want to continue; we'd love to continue, but it has to make sense for both places. So hopefully that negotiation can stay where it is, where it needs to be, which is between our universities, athletic departments, provosts, and chancellors. There's more to it than just playing home and home."
What's your deal part deux?
Cardinal Question Mark - Pass Game: While much is known about Stanford's defense and run game, the departure of Zach Ertz and Levine Toilolo and an unproven group of receivers results in much uncertainty surrounding the passing game.
Here's what we do know.
Offensive coordinator Mike Bloomgren will coach on the field. Quarterbacks coach Mike Sanford will be up in the coaching booth.
"I think the communication has been really smooth," Shaw said.
Quarterback Evan Crower cemented himself as the backup to Kevin Hogan with a strong fall camp.
"He's probably made one of the biggest jumps on our team between last year and this year," Shaw said. "He's had a great training camp and we're very comfortable with where he is knowledge-wise. The hardest part for him is he's got to prepare like a starter.
Six wide receivers are listed on Stanford's two-deep depth chart, which is indicative of the Cardinal's improved depth at the position this season. However, for Stanford's offense to operate at maximum efficiency, they'll need junior Ty Montgomery to stay healthy and be productive.
"First of all I wanted to see him healthy again," Shaw said. "He came back and he was 80 percent it seemed like most of the year. I wanted to get his, for lack of a better phrase, his swagger back. (I wanted to see) his confidence back and feel good about what he does well.
"And we need him to be very versatile. He's no longer the young guy anymore, the young guy that you give certain rules. He's the most experienced receiver that we have. He's taken on a bit of a leadership role, but he also knows his most important thing is to make sure he's ready to play.
"And I think our receiving core as a unit is a very tight-knit group. It's fun to see them cheer for each other, push each other, and know there's not just one guy that's going to get all the passes. Much like the running backs, this is going to be a group project. Ty being our most experienced guy, for him to understand that and be great with that and cheer for other guys as they go in the game I think is a huge tone-setter for our team."

Game and Fish mulls lowering wolf harvest quotas in Dubois areaMay 21, 2013 By Eric Blom, Staff Writer
Wyoming Game and Fish proposes to lower the gray wolf harvest quota for the hunt area around Dubois to three animals from the five allowed in 2012. The hunt season would remain the same, from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31.
Regional wildlife manager Jason Hunter, large carnivore biologist Bob Trebelcock and carnivore conflict supervisor Brian Debolt met with the Fremont County Commission on May 7 to discuss the proposed wolf season.
"We're hoping to reduce the population slightly in 2013," Trebelcock said, referring to the wolves.
The hunt area covers all of Fremont County west of the Wind River Indian Reservation. The tribal game and fish agency manages wolves on the reservation, and wolves are considered predators east of the reservation and can be shot without a license.
The state agency has jurisdiction over the animals everywhere in Wyoming outside of Yellowstone National Park and the reservation. Game and Fish took over management of gray wolves in those areas Sept. 30, the day after they were removed from the endangered species list.
Trebelcock said the lower quota is the product of a large calculation. Game and Fish estimates 169 wolves reside in its management area, and the department wants to end 2013 with 160 wolves.
According to Game and Fish projections, the population will produce roughly 53 new wolves, and humans will kill about 33 wolves in ways besides hunting, such as vehicle collisions and control.
To keep the population at 169, the agency estimates, based on previous studies, it could allow 17 to be harvested by hunting. To bring the population to 160, it will have hunters kill nine more.
In the end, the total of quotas in the trophy game area will be 26, Trebelcock said.
Hunting, control kills and non-human deaths brought the wolf population Game and Fish manages down from 192 animals to 169. The agency was aiming for 172, but Trebelcock said it was satisfied with the result.
Trebelcock said only three wolves were harvested in Fremont County's hunt area 5, leaving the five-wolf quota unfilled. He attributed the lack of success to the difficulty in hunting wolves, and not a lack of interest among sportsmen.
One condition of the delisting required there to be 10 breeding pairs among wolves the state manages. Game and Fish estimates it needs at least 141 wolves to maintain enough breeding pairs, defined as an adult male and female with two pups.
Commission chairman Doug Thompson questioned the sense in managing to have wolves when they eat other game species, which bring income to Wyoming.
Debolt said the number of wolves is not Game and Fish's first priority.
"Regardless of numbers, we want to control damage," he said.
The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission would have to approve the quota changes at its meeting July 9-10 before they take effect.
The public can comment on wolf management by writing to Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Casper Regional Office, ATTN: Wildlife Division, Regulations, 3030 Energy Lane, Casper, WY 82604. Letters must be received by June 12.

Sometimes as a mama to young kids you just need to vent. It's therapeutic.
You need to call up your girl friend, or your sister, or your mom, or send out a holler to all of your social media mama's and tell them the horrible thing your toddler just did.
"He colored all over the wall!…With PERMANENT marker!"
"She smeared a chocolate all over the couch."
"He threw a tantrum right in the middle of the grocery store. Everyone was staring."
"She flushed a brush down the toilet."
Oh, yes, we need to share these things. We need to share the sentences we never thought we'd say, the experiences we never thought we'd have, the things we never thought OUR kid would do.
We do it partly to express, to let off steam in a safe place, but there are other reasons we do it too.
We do it to for the encouragement. Like an athlete who is feeling weary and worn and looks to the crowd, because they need to know the crowd believes in them, you look to your crowd.
But, I think mostly we do it for the camaraderie. We need to know we aren't alone. We need to know that others have been in this same place as we have been. We need to hear that they are in it too, or that they got through it. We need to feel like part of a team.
Or maybe I should say those are reasons why I vent about mama frustrations.
Sometimes I choose to share some of those frustrations on social media, usually Instagram since that feels more like an actual community to me. But sometimes I do it on facebook or twitter too. I do this because I want my social media to be an honest and holistic picture of my life and that means not just sharing the good stuff. It means allowing others to enter into the struggle with me. It's the same way I approach this blog.
But, lately I've run into a problem with sharing and venting, especially online. I'm finding that sharing and venting about Sage doesn't result in connection and camaraderie and often gets taken in a completely different way than sharing and venting about my son.
The other day I shared about a difficult day I'd had with Sage throwing lots of tantrums. I got lots of very kind responses, but something rubbed me wrong about the way people responded. I couldn't put my figure on it until I realized how different the responses to my venting where from the responses to my venting with Thad when he was a toddler.
When I shared about a difficult day with Thaddeus I got some encouragement and a few "praying" responses, but mostly I got commissary and even humor.
I got "Oh my goodness that is too funny!"
Or "oh I know! My son did that too!"
Or "ugh I hate when that happens!"
Or "today my daughter did…"
I don't get that anymore. And I guess I can't. I mean it would probably be a little weird, and almost hurtful, if my friends with normally developing children tried to say that they know exactly what I'm going through. They don't. So they don't say that they do.
Instead I get pity and prayers.
It's good intentioned, but it's not really what I want in those moments. I want understanding and camaraderie.
And humor…I could go for some humor.
Rejoicing in the journey,
If you'd like to help with medical bills or the other expenses related to Bryan's cancer or Sage's special needs click here. Thank you! We are forever so grateful to so many who have gotten us this far and continue to carry us forward. Grace and peace.

One stock that's starting to trend within range of triggering a major breakout trade is Stereotaxis (STXS), which designs, manufactures and markets an advanced cardiology instrument control system for use in a hospital's interventional surgical suite to enhance the treatment of arrhythmias and coronary artery disease. This stock has been trending hot so far in 2013, with shares up sharply by 50%.
>>4 Under-$10 Stocks to Trade for Breakouts
If you take a look at the chart for Stereotaxis, youll notice that this stock recently formed a major bottoming chart pattern, with buyers coming in to support the shares at $3.10, $3.23 and $3.11 over the last three months. This stock has now started to trend back above its 50-day moving average of $3.64 a share and it's quickly moving within range of triggering a major breakout trade above some near-term overhead resistance levels.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in STXS if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $4.10 to $4.30 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average volume of 1.44 million shares. If that breakout hits soon, then STXS will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance level at $6.24 a share. Any high-volume move above that level will then give STXS a chance to re-fill some of its previous gap down zone from August that started near $10 a share.
Traders can look to buy STXS off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right around some near-term support at $3.30 a share. One can also buy STXS off strength once it starts to take out those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.
