The ability to manage projects effectively and efficiently is what sets your organization apart. And if that's not true for your business, you are vulnerable to losing your edge (and your profits!) to people and companies that can get more done in less time with better results.
The concept of "project management" is no longer one just for engineers. Across industries and professions, it is THE practice that puts individuals and organizations ahead of their competitors. Project managers are the future leaders of your organization. They lead from within all levels of your organization, executing strategies and delivering on promises that set you apart.
Make Core Performance Concepts your partner in building a true leadership team that performs at all levels of the organization. At the foundation of our project management approach is the belief that CONNECTING and COLLABORATING are the keys to superior performance. When your people manage their projects instead of letting projects manage them, you've got an organization full of leaders who will take your organization's performance to a whole new level.
Let us show you how our tailored training programs and courseware solutions will give you higher performance and a competitive edge.

I have been told not to switch between formulas but is it ok to use both the advance and the advance w/ early shield? what is the difference?
BabyNurse3 tipped me off to this really great number 1-800-232-7677, its the StrongMom line. They should be able to answer your question. The main reason I understand it when you're told not to switch between formulas though is because it can cause stomach/digestive issues in your baby. For instance in my daughter it would result in nasty diapers, in others I've heard of worse. I would speak with someone at the number I mentioned for more information or possibly a pediatrician.
I agree. They were so helpful and didn't make me hold long at all. :)
I believe you shouldn't switch around brands or formula mix's in the early stages because once your baby has learned to digest one kind, then you might not want to offer a different mixture because not all formulas are made with the same ingredients. You'd take the chance baby could be uncomfortable trying to adjust to the new offering. When babies are fussy it's already hard to know what they want you don't want to add to the list with formula that is hurting their tummies.
I started on one brand with my daughter, who was having difficulties digesting it, not fussy but (making # 2 too often, not going #1 often enough) and then was instructed (by Dr) to switch to something different and it worked out fine (one #2's per day, lots of #1).
I'd say as they get older and start eating foods and their digestive track get stronger it probably won't be such a big deal to mix brands but in the early stages I'd stick to one kind that works well.

Outside Twitter's corporate headquarters in San Francisco, Greenpeace makes its plea for the social media company to "Make our tweets green."
One day after grading tech companies on their use of clean energy, a Greenpeace blimp drives home the point for morning commuters in the Bay Area with a fly-by.
Amazon is among the last top IT companies to embrace clean energy like wind and solar, Greenpeace says in a new report that looks at the energy footprint across tech companies.
Facebook reveals its carbon footprint from 2011. The company uses 23 percent clean and renewable energy, but hopes to increase the percentage to 25 by 2015.
In its continuing campaign to pressure cloud providers to use cleaner energy, Greenpeace sets up a "pod" and projects images onto Apple's headquarters.
In an updated report on energy use among cloud data centers, Apple is no longer failing in two key areas, and has improved in others, Greenpeace says.
The organization said Apple was in sixth place this year, down from fourth last year, in its study on "greener electronics."
The environmental watchdog says documents for diesel generator permits show Apple plans to expand its energy footprint at its North Carolina data center, but the years-old documents don't offer any definitive proof.
Apple says Greenpeace is way off on energy estimates for Apple's latest data center, which it expects to be powered mostly by renewable sources.
Data centers from cloud companies, such as Apple and Google, are getting cleaner but Greenpeace pushes for more transparency on energy use and sources.

CHICAGO -- The American League's comeback Tuesday night put a smile on the faces of its players and fans -- along with laughter in the voice of Shigetoshi Hasegawa.
Hasegawa appeared destined to be the losing pitcher in the 74th All-Star Game after he was charged with four fifth-inning runs. It was thus possible to envision an October in which vindictive souls would blame Hasegawa for the National League representative's home-field advantage in the World Series.
But home runs by Garret Anderson, Jason Giambi and Hank Blalock rescued the AL from its 5-1 deficit, generated a 7-6 victory and gave Hasegawa a giddy peace of mind.
"I knew we were going to come back. I can (say that) now, right?" a giggling Hasegawa said.
Though Hasegawa allowed the National League as many runs in two-thirds of an inning as he had surrendered all season in 46 2/3 innings, he seemed to enjoy making himself the butt of his jokes.
"Maybe next All-Star break I can play golf," Hasegawa said. "That's better. Take three days off."
Hasegawa attributed his difficulties to throwing too hard, which robbed his sinking fastball of its downward movement. He walked Atlanta's Gary Sheffield to open the fifth before Colorado's Todd Helton belted a first-pitch homer. "I wanted to throw a two-seamer with a little sink," Hasegawa said. "But it didn't sink."
Scott Rolen followed Helton's homer with a single. Two outs later, Rafael Furcal also singled, finishing Hasegawa. In came Minnesota's Eddie Guardado, who surrendered Andruw Jones' two-run double.
This rough outing failed to spoil Hasegawa's first All-Star experience. "I had a good time and I had fun," he said.
So did the other Mariners pitcher at U.S. Cellular Field, Jamie Moyer. The 40-year-old left-hander enjoyed a successful All-Star debut, pitching a scoreless fourth inning.
"I was a little shaky doing things that I normally don't do in the bullpen," he said. "That gate opened and I felt like a bull in a china shop. I'm not that style of pitcher. I can't go out there and try to throw 90, 95 (mph). I really had to try to maintain my focus."
Moyer also survived the challenge of facing two of the NL's most formidable hitters, St. Louis' Albert Pujols and San Francisco's Barry Bonds.
After striking out the first hitter he faced, St. Louis' Jim Edmonds, Moyer benefited from an acrobatic catch by right fielder Ichiro Suzuki, his Mariners teammate, on Pujols' line drive.
"When (Pujols) hit the ball, I thought, I don't know if (Suzuki) has a chance," Moyer said. "I really couldn't tell how the ball was carrying tonight. In batting practice it seemed like some balls were taking off and some balls were dying. I've been here when balls in the gap sometimes take off toward center field. But he stayed with it. He has great speed and he knows how to play the outfield. He made a great catch."
Continued Moyer, "I was thinking, 'Wow, this is good.' But now I have to bear down. I'm facing the home run king."
Bonds nearly lived up to his billing, propelling a drive to deep center field. But Hideki Matsui of the Yankees settled under it in front of the wall. "I was able to get (the pitch) in just enough to where (Bonds) couldn't get extended," Moyer said.
That helped send Moyer back to the regular season in a positive frame of mind.
"It was a blast," he said of his All-Star stint. "Very exhausting and tiring, but it was exciting."

I got my belly button pierced last summer here and I couldnt be happier! Very very surprised at how clean the shop was, the staff was funny and made you feel safe. I was lectured for almost an hour on how important it is to keep it clean, what to expect and all that other good stuff. The guy who did mine showed me pictures of what it should look like if taken care of and what it could look like if I didnt, they made the point accross to take care of it ! I hardley felt a thing and they called me two weeks later to see how it was coming they offer a free cleaning too! I recomend Atomic for any one showing interest in a new piercing.

I've been talking it up in the comment threads, but I think it bears repeating in a posting all its own: We witnessed an historic occurrence in Sanford Stadium yesterday. For the first time I can...
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has suggested moving the Tigers' 2013 college football season opener to Labor Day night, but the Georgia Bulldogs' athletic director has a better idea: play the game on Thursday night, instead.
Mark Richt's twelfth season as the Georgia head coach saw the Bulldogs fall just five yards short of an SEC title and a probable national championship. How does the Red and Black skipper compare to Wally Butts and Vince Dooley at the same point?
After Monday night's BCS National Championship Game, no one doubts that the Alabama Crimson Tide are the No. 1 team in college football, but how does the top 25 shake out after that?
How big a deal was the Georgia Bulldogs' 17-9 win over the Florida Gators in Saturday's edition of the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party? It's difficult to overestimate the significance of the victory.
This year's edition of the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party likely will determine the winner of the SEC East. Can Mark Richt's once-beaten Georgia Bulldogs upset Will Muschamp's undefeated Florida Gators?
Alabama and Florida appear destined to meet in the SEC Championship Game yet again, while multiple teams are winless in league play and fighting for their spot at the bottom. See where all 14 teams wound up in this week's SEC Power Poll.
While Bulldog Nation eagerly awaits tonight's kickoff in Lexington, Georgia football fans have other games of interest to follow, including SEC tilts in Gainesville and Nashville.
The SEC Power Poll features two ties, Tennessee fans are holding out hope for a win in Athens, and Sunday Morning Quarterback thinks big things are brewing in the SEC East. Who's right and who's wrong?
Another wild weekend of college football left Alabama and LSU as the clear SEC frontrunners, with Sun Belt victims Arkansas and Kentucky bringing up the rear. How do the teams rank in the SEC Power Poll?

Fab product, would give it 6 stars if I could! I really hate spiders but this lets me catch them quickly and at arms length (even from usually hard to reach places) and then dispose of them - they cannot escape from the Catcher until you release it. No longer need to wait for someone else to do it for me. Brilliant.
Should have got one sooner!
This was a spur of the moment buy but I can't believe I waited so long to get one - it's great! As someone who has a great dislike for creepy crawlies this is the perfect product and good value for money. It comes with a handy hook to make storing it easier and the cap for putting over the bristles is also useful. The only down-side I've experienced is that one of the bristles came out after only using it twice. They generally seem fairly sturdy though. I highly recommend it.
spider catcher
Great just the christmas gift I needed for my son inlaw .He is so scared of spiders if there is one in the bedroom he will not go to bed untill he has managed to splat it with his shoe.Then to pick it up needs ten tissues to pick it up.Your spider catcher will make his life perfect.It might even stop him screaming.Well he is a man.
Absolutely Amazing
So where to start with this product... BRILLIANT. Does exactly what it says. I have a massive fear of spiders and the spider catcher is great due to the length of the handle I can get the spiders without getting too close, the bristles aren't too hard that they injure the spider. Best £10 I've spent. Have recommended this product to my family and friends.
Number One Household Gadget for Spider Haters!
This is seriously one of the best products I own. I am petrified by spiders even the tiny little ones, but with this bad boy gadget I feel like I can do anything! It is so easy to use and I know that plenty of my friends are impressed with it. I even bought it for some of my friends for their Christmas present as I know they will all get use out of it especially in the spider season! The Spider Catcher doesn't just catch spiders either, you can get moths and any other bug that is around your house! My husband also loves the fact now that I don't have to scream and get him out of bed every evening! It also prevents you from marking your walls with blood and juice, it is clean and practical! I would seriously recommend this product to everyone.
Great product
I hate spiders but don't like to kill anything if it can be helped. Now I am able to deal with the critters myself. Have disposed of a couple running round in the bath which wasn't easy as they were very lively and I think I need more practice on releasing the trigger quickly. Haven't yet had to use it on a big one on the floor but will have more confidence as I will be a fair distance away and I know that it works. The practice spider is a good idea though it makes me shiver just to look at it. Have left it on the work surface to try and get accustomed to the sight which will hopefully make me less afraid.
Spider Catcher is a great idea, no longer shall I be heading for the spare room every time I catch sight of a spider! It features a nice long arm, so you don't have to get too near and the fake spider you get with it is particularly fun to give people a fright (my sense of humour is a little dry). Thanks, this is a must have for an anti-spider family! No harm was done.
Buy a Spider Catcher, you won't be sorry. When it arrived (super fast too) we had no 'intruders' in the house for about four days. I was really miffed because I wanted to try it out. Then one day we caught an earwig off a window sill, a black jack near the kitchen door and a bee that came in the kitchen window and it was great. I've even caught a spider too (only a little one so I wasn't too frightened). It's absolutely brilliant, good clean fun and no harm is being done to the poor little creatures. It's got pride of place on its own special hanger under the stairs. Just get one.
The Spider Catcher is the most amazing product I've ever bought! I really hate spiders but I don't like killing them. This is the answer to my problems and I can't recommend it enough. Its handle means the spider is well away from you. It will pick up any size spider from the tiniest to the largest. The nylon head will pick up the spider easily and then you can deposit it safely outside. Job done! Honestly I can't believe how good it is, it's amazing!

A Closer Look at 5 Overtimes
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or follow us on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!
Baylor guard Curtis Jerrells had this to say after the five overtime, three and half hour, 116-110 marathon win against Texas A&M last night:
"I'm tired."
After playing essentially three halves of basketball—and an overtime for good measure—I'd say everybody, including the trainers were tired. So what does 65 minutes of basketball get you besides dog-tired players? A closer look that some of the stats reveals some eye-opening numbers:
- 2 A&M players played for 57 minutes
- 191 shots were taken between the teams
- Each team made 35 field goals a piece
- Shot a combined 106 free-throws
- Made 85
- Combined for 120 rebounds and 37 assists
- Committed a combined 69 fouls (over one a minute)
- Shot 57 3-point shots
- A&M made 4 in 65 minutes of basketball.. That's right, four
- Baylor made only 7, making them a combined 11-57 from 3-point range
- 17 blocked shots
- 30 turnovers (one almost every two minutes)
- 8 players fouled out
- 9 players with double digit scoring… Jerrells led all scorers with 36 points
The game was the longest in Big 12 history, eclipsing the Texas/Oklahoma State triple overtime from last year.

The I heart Salahuddin Ayyubi Thread!
Nov 25, 2008 10:27 AM »
A nice talk 1 hour 20 minutes
Speaker Mufti Abdur Rahman Ibn Yusuf Mangera of the ZamZam Academy (USA)
Background to the talk:
Although he loved peace, Salahuddin Ayyubi became one of the world's greatest warriors. He was born in Tekrit in 1138 CE when his father Ameer Najmudin was the ruler of Tekrit. He was brought up by his noble father and talented uncle, Asad-ud-din Shirkhu. Salahuddin was a very intelligent and noble person. He loved peace and never enjoyed fighting battles. But all changed when Salahuddin was ordered to go to Egypt with his uncle. He went to Egypt many times with his uncle to fight two enemies, the Franks and the Batnids. After his uncle's death, he became the commander and Vizier of Egypt. Salahuddin Ayyubi never lived in the palace. Instead, he lived in a small house near the mosque. Salahuddin had a great love for Islam and as the vizier and general of Egypt, he tried hard to root out the Crusaders. For this purpose, he maintained a strong army. He established peace and prosperity throughout the country. From the beginning, many prejudiced Egyptian ministers disliked him. When they saw he was winning the hearts of the Egyptian people they did many conspiracies against him but due to Salahuddin's wisdom, they were defeated. When the Fatmid caliph Al Aziz died, Salahuddin became the ruler of Egypt. When Salahuddin took over Damascus the people opened the gates of the city to him and greeted him warmly.
The Crusaders were not happy by Salahuddin's increasing power and success. Uniting their forces, they planned a decisive attack on Muslim area. Battle of Hittin took place. Muslims won under the leadership of Salahuddin. Thousands of Crusaders were arrested. Salahuddin treated the prisoners with tolerance.
In 1187 CE, Salahuddin conquered Jerusalem. Thousands of Crusaders were arrested. However, when their mothers, sisters, and wives appealed to Salahuddin, he released them. Many crusaders were ransomed. However, he paid for many of them. In addition, he provided them transport, etc. He allowed neither massacre nor looting. He gave free pardon to all citizens. He even arranged for their traveling. He granted freedom to Christians to leave the city if they paid a small tribute. Salahuddin paid it, himself, for about ten thousand poor people. His brother paid it for seven thousand people. Salahuddin also allocated one of the gates of the city for people who were too poor to pay anything that they leave from there.
On Friday 27th Rajab 583 AH, Salahuddin entered Jerusalem. After entering the city they went straight to the Mosque and cleaned it. Then for the first time in more then 80 years, the people of Jerusalem heard the Azan (call of prayer) from Al Aqsa Mosque.

I posted this on the old board
Found these things recently that are awesome:
- 80 minute Lecture on the life of Salahuddin by Sh. Abdur Rahman Ibn Yusuf
- article Saladin: a Benevolent Man, Respected by both Muslims and Christians
- they\'re making a cartoon series of his life for kids... SO CUTE!!!
- description and pictures of Salahuddin\'s Tomb
- description and pictures of Salahuddin\'s Castle
Some good books you can buy on his life:
* Saladin: Sultan and Uniter of Islam (National Book Network) – By Stanley Lane-Poole
* The Life of Saladin (Adam Publishers) by Beha Ed-Din
* Salahuddin Ayyubi (Ferozsons Pvt. Ltd) – Translated by Sarwat Sharif
* Muslim Heroes of the Crusades (Ta-Ha Publishers) - By Shahnaz Husain
Some interesting facts:
# After Salahuddin (rahmatullahi alai) overthrew the Fatamid dynasty in Egypt, he changed the creed of Al-Azhar University in Cairo from Shia to Sunni. It's stayed this way up to our current times Mash'Allah, being one of the top notch Islamic universities in the world.
# During the battle that took place over Bait ul-Maqdis in Jerusalem, Salahuddin (rahmatullahi alai) sent his very own doctor, along with fruits and ice to treat Richard The Lionheart's sickness. Talk about compassion; something like that happening right now is inconceivable from a Muslim or non-Muslim.
# Salahuddin (rahmatullahi alai) was of the Shafi Madhab in matters of Fiqh. He was also very keen on Ihsan, as from some sources it's mentioned that Imam al-Ghazali's writings were an influence on him too. This becomes somewhat clear when we learn how devout he was in his level of Zuhd, offering his prayers, as well as the fact that he set up Khanqas in many of the places he traveled to.
# Moustafa al-Akkad had a script ready, and was planning to do an English film on Salahuddin prior to his death. If you're not familiar with that name, perhaps you've heard of two films he produced, The Message, and Lion of The Desert. At well over the age of 70, he had intentions of making other Islamic historical movies, such as one for Muhammad Shamil (Chechen Mujahideen who fought against the Russians) and another about the Bosnian War. Sadly, Moustafa al-Akkad was a victim of a suicide bomber at a hotel in Jordan, along with his daughter.

I just got back from an excellent talk about Salaahudeen Ayyubi last night. Quite a timely talk, what with the current destruction of the Gaza Strip.
The talk was inspirational but made one feel ashamed at the same time..
Will post up notes/links sometime soon inshaAllaah. Thanks for the links etc, Jannah.

I saw that there was an animated series among the links, but I came across this some time ago, so I thought I would include it in this thread. This must have been released by now, so if anyone has any info on it, that would be great. Ma'salaam.

Rumi tribute for Salahuddin:
You left ground and sky weeping, mind
and soul full of grief. No one can
take your place in existence or in
absence. Both mourn, the angels, the
prophets, and this sadness I feel has
taken from me the taste of language,
so that I can't say the flavor of my
being apart. The roof of the kingdom
within has collapsed! When I say the
word you, I mean a hundred universes.
Pouring grief water, or secret dripping
in the heart, eyes in the head or eyes
of the soul, I saw yesterday that all
these flow out to find you when you're
not here. That bright fire bird Saladin
went like an arrow, and now the bow
trembles and sobs. If you know how to
weep for human beings, weep for Saladin.

I will confess first that I have not heard / seen the lecture linked to the first post but I have somewhat about Amir / Sultan yusuf (I think salah ud din was among his many titles).
Yet some writings seem to suggest that the real hero of the muslim resistance against the invaders was Mahmud Zangi (nur ud din). IN this respect, the book "Crusades through Arab eyes" by Amin Maalouf (who I think is a Christian Arab) come to mind. These writers suggest that Amir Yusuf was too willing to compromise with the invaders in order to gain a position favourable for himself against his opponents e.g. he surrendered Jerusalem and made other concessions in order to fortify his position agqainst his muslim opponents. Some suggest that it was this tendency to grant concessions to the invaders that earned him favourable mentions in their narratives of the period.
I wonder if others on this forum would be willing to give their opinions on this subject.

Thats an interesting question. I don't remember reading anything like that in Muslim sources. Nur ad Din also died much before many of the defeats Salahuddin had over the Crusaders including the capture of Jerusalem. I'm sure though there are people that consider the concessions that Salahuddin made to be 'too much or too conciliatory' just like the Sahaba at the time may have thought Ras saw's concessions were too much. In the end, there was a wisdom to each.

It's stupid that they have to specify that it will be about games. If you have to come out and say that it will be about games you've done something wrong.
Yeah they're missing a couple big games...
I want to know where they can take this, they set up such an unforgiving world. Bet Ep 2 will be filled with sadness!
Yeah MS isn't, no word on the NSA though.

I hope they stop putting colonial marines on sale it's so bad!!
Why don't they all release on the same day? I never understood them releasing stuff on separate days

Anyone else think this was kinda racist?

The screens look so different! How can they say it's the same quality when it's not?? Fuck that!
I highly doubt The Last Guardian will make a debut. I bet they will show off at least one first party game then indies. They are going to kill the indie thing before it even happens

End of the year a busy time for charity scammersBy Shelia Poole
The Associated Press | December 11,2012ATLANTA Consumers making end-of-the year donations to nonprofits should beware of scams that target unsuspecting donors.
Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp said many people want to do the right thing by donating to charities, but it also pays to be cautious.
Why is the end of the year so important?
Many people feel generous during the holidays and want to help those in need. Its also the time when taxpayers rush to make contributions by Dec. 31 to qualify for tax deductions. Consequently, consumers are likely to get more solicitations for donations through email, regular mail and by phone.
According to Charity Navigator, charities -- on average -- receive 40 percent of their annual contributions from individuals between Thanksgiving and New Years Day.
This is really a critical time for most charities, said Sandra Miniutti, vice president for marketing for the New Jersey-based charity evaluator. She advised consumers to find out as much as they can about a charity and how donations are spent before they contribute.
Experts say consumers should be particularly aware of groups that claim to be helping victims of Hurricane Sandy, which devastated the East Coast. While many are legitimate, some may not be. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, more than 4,000 bogus websites were created to solicit donations or for phishing scams designed to gather personal information off computers. A good rule of thumb is that if you dont know the sender or if something looks odd, avoid opening attachments or links.
The elderly should be especially careful.
Telemarketers seem to aggressively target the elderly, Miniutti said. Sometimes, senior citizens get confused and may respond readily to high-pressure tactics.
Seniors are often available to take the phone call or be at the computer, said Shawn Conroy, a spokesman for the Georgia Governors Office of Consumer Protection. Obviously, scammers are going to target them.
He said some seniors may have built up wealth over the years, making them attractive targets. People will say that older people are from a more trusting generation, he said.
Conroy also said the holidays might be good time to visit with older relatives and be aware of the types of mail and phone calls they are receiving.MORE IN National / World BusinessSaying they can no longer ignore the rising prices of health care, some of the most influential...

It??s a messy bond, right?
This is almost like the new makeup look takes non-products. It??s about the prepping, good blow-out, putting a lot of work in there, of course a great haircut.
??Cause if you want it to be messy, it should be really good foundation. It??s great right now to feel like some of these pieces fall out.
We??ve seen a lot of them in the red carpet. With the messy bond I think if you have a really round face, it??s if you can put it a little bit higher, the bond a little bit higher.
If you have more of an oval face, rectangle face, you can put a little bit lower.
Now, it??s good that my hair is like a [unknown] to all that I-- it??s not freshly washed.
That??s actually better.
Your hair is more applicable when it??s a little dirty. Now, if you have oily hair, yeah. You don??t want it like too greasy or anything
You might wanna shampoo it. But on a texture like yours, yeah, a little dirtier is a little bit better. Do you wanna put it all back in your hands.
Okay, just an easy ponytail.
Just an easy ponytail. By the way, I start looking at the shape, maybe just dropping a couple of pieces out.
And then we??re just gonna put it in a little Honytail, finger combing it.
It??s okay if you get some spaces and lumps in between your hair.
it??s even okay if you have some of these fly-aways. Again, if you did it yourself--
So this is imperfect.
Love that.
It??s a shovel do against, really pretty.
So shovel is elegant.
They??re not overdone.
I love that.
I just put a little back combing there.
So you??re back combing the roots of the ponytail right now?
Just the roots of the ponytail, the sort of inside and that??s gonna make the ponytail fuller too if your hair is really fine when back comb [unknown] if you got really thick hair.
[unknown] sneaky little dress.
You??ll do a little less. If you want it tighter and clean or you??re gonna twist more. Okay. If you want it a little looser, you??re just gonna have a natural little twist to it.
A twist and wrap.
Twist and wrap, really simple. Then all you gonna do is grab some hair pins because--
And what??s the difference between a hair pin and a bobby pin by the way?
So bobby pin is flat, it??s gonna hold it a bit tighter where hair pins loose weight and still have some of these loose hairs, sort of hanging out hair pins.
So hair pins are good for a loose up do?
Yes. All right. Loosen it up a little bit. We use a little hair spray. Again, this is where we kinda just work on visually, I don??t mind if there some of these fly aways, some pieces hanging out, and then like to pick up this little, just pulling it, pulling it a little bit out of the ponytail. And again, it??s about flattering your clothes and your outfit and your make up and like not too many focal points, so some kind of it??s like a little too much, it takes simplicity out of it and that??s pretty much it.
Love. I think I can actually do this on my own.
I think you can too, totally very easy. Gorgeous.
Love it. Thank you. Hot hair.

Inkjet Nozzle: Level Set
Model ID: 1445
Inkjet printers are attractive tools for printing text and images because they combine low cost and high resolution with acceptable speed. Designers can vary several parameters to modify a printer's performance. Simulations can be useful to improve the understanding of the fluid flow and to predict the optimal design of an inkjet for a specific application.
Although initially invented to produce images on paper, the inkjet technique has since been adopted for other application areas. Instruments for the precise deposition of microdroplets often employ inkjets. These instruments are used within the life sciences for diagnosis, analysis, and drug discovery. Inkjets have also been used as 3D printers to synthesize tissue from cells and to manufacture microelectronics.
This example demonstrates how to model the fluid flow within an inkjet using the Laminar Two-Phase Flow, Level Set interface.

Shoes >Shoe Spa
15 W 55th St, New York, NY | Directions 1001940.762113 -73.975707
Neighborhoods: Midtown Center, Midtown
DO NOT TAKE SHOES TO BE DYED HERE!!!! – I took a pair of white Jimmy Choo pumps to be dyed blue I asked if they could advise if dyeing was possible on these shoes and I told them I would not have them dyed if it was not. Three people at the 55th and 5th location looked at my shoes and said it would not be a problem at all. I paid them $55 and picked up my shoes only to find that the dye was not retainable so now the shoes are not wearable because my feet end up blue every time I walk a little distance in them and if I come into contact with any water the shoes run blue dye all over the floor. I called the store and asked them to make the shoes colorfast and they told me that that was not possible and that their store policies protected them from having any accountability. The man specifically said to me
Excellent Service!!! – FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I brought my shoes, purses and belts to Leather Spa and everything came back better than when I first purchased them. Anyone who is writing these negative reviews is clearly insane and doesn't appreciate the work that goes into such phenomenal service and quality. There is a reason why ALL the major leather and shoe companies have them as their designated repair company. If you had a bad experience, my recommendation is to open your mouth next time instead of cowarding online and bashing these people. FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Guess I'll have to find another place... – As I read these reviews, it is very sad. I came here to double-check the address of this business. I too used to come here as I'd heard they were considered one of the best places in the city, and while I don't have any specific horror stories, I too noticed that the overall service wasn't what it used to be. First off, it seems everyone there now is Latin and speaks limited English. Which certainly doesn't help matters if at the same time, you aren't getting quality work done. And what are you to do when you encounter workmanship problems, and again, the staff only speak limited English?
It's a real shame as this just seems to be one more art (shoe repair) that is slowly dying. There are so few TRUE cobblers left in the city!
By the way...I hope those of you that had service issues with them are reporting it to the Better Business Bureau!
Just terrible – Since this place moved across the street and became a "Leather Spa" the quality and service went down precipitously.
Though it prices went up.
Brought in two pairs of Lanvin flats to get the soles done. Cannot even describe what I got back! Let's just say a shoemaker at Penn Station would have done a better job. Had to take my shoes to another repair place and for an additional cost to have them fixed.
Terrible place! Will never go back!
Abysmal...hopeless, abusive. – Shoe Service Plus, also known as Leather Spa, deserves negative stars but that is not an option here on citysearch. The owner actually yelled at me after he admitted they ruined my boots. It is shocking. Do they really have so many loyal customers/suckers willing to pay top dollar only to pray their items are not damaged? I say, support your local cobbler, save your big bucks, and go elsewhere. Really, I have never ever been treated so hatefully in my life.
Hatefull staff, terrible service – An insult to shoe lovers everywhere. I was accused of lying and not recognizing my own shoes. The staff is insane, and the owner is worst of all. Do not go to this viper pit under any circumstances. The owner actually yelled at me after his establishment ruined my shoes, which he admitted. All the years of catering to the Blahnik set have gone to his head.
Disgusting customer service, belligerent owner – I'm in the process of having a mistake corrected by this formerly highly-rated shoe repair shop. I will write a complete review when I see how it's resolved. For now I can say: accusatory staff (aside from Luis), and the owner is far worse than the worst staffer. I guess it trickles down. Save your money and the heartache and support your local cobbler! This place is a disaster.
Terrible, Ruined My Shoes – This company has some of the worst service I've ever encountered in New York. I cannot urge anyone reading this enough not to ever do business with them. I brought in two of my favoritte pairs of men's shoes to get re-heeled. The shoes had natural, un-painted (shoe-blacked) leather soles and I requested specifically that they not paint the leather and leave it natural. I got the shoes back and they had ignored my request and painted the shoes which ruins them. I asked them to sand the paint back off and two weeks later when I returned they hadn't done it. I asked the very rude manager to please give me back my money and he refused. Now after wasting hours at their shop I'm doing to have to file a dispute with my credit card money to get a refund so I can try and get someone else to fix them. Leather Spa was repeatedly rude and belligerent with me. They ruined my shoes and stole my money. If you have anything you care about I urge you to save yourself the grief of being ignored and go somewhere else.
Stay far away from this place! – I have also gone to Shoe Service Plus which is now called Leather Spa for many years and had good results but for the past year, they have messed up everything I taken to them. A week ago I dropped off a bag from Marc Jacobs that needed to have a broken zipper pull replaced. I brought them a new pull that I had gotten from Marc Jacobs but when I picked they had used a different one that didn't fit and was a different color gold. They also put the pull on backwards so the Marc Jacobs name faces the bag! I am so mad because now I have to go back there again tomorrow and figure out why they would do such a thing. They had my name and number, they should have called me to ask if it was ok before they put this piece of junk on my bag. I will never go to them again. They charge very high prices, are rude and do shoddy work. The worst part is that they don't even care that they do bad work! I am telling everyone I know to stay away from this place! They make me so mad!
I have to start looking for new shoe repair shop :( – I used to be a customer for years at the old location before they moved to a nicer bigger shop across the street called "Leather Spa" at 10 55th street.
Unfortunately, the old place craftsmanship didn't come along :(
First time I brought my Stewart Weitzman flip-flops , they possibly, spilt some glue over them and as they were trying to clean it up, they removed color in spots. Although, I was told to pay $ 35 for a messy job I wasn't too bent out of shape 'cause I paid only $100 for those flip-flops. I never used to have problems at these people before so I brought my $700 Giuseppe Zanotti booties for heel tip's replacement.
They cracked one heel. When I pointed it out to a guy with name tag "Louise" he said he can't do anything about it! I asked him to write on my receipt that I received my heels cracked. He hesitated for a minute then wrote: "scratched heel" after he cursed me out in spanish to his coworkers. Then he told another guy (in English, this time louder, so I could hear) to never take shoes from me again! Don't you worry, never again! I'm sick in my stomach!
One question: Where do they get all this confidence from?

Dylan Farrow vs. Woody Allen: Who Do You Believe?by Free Britney at . Updated at .
For a scandal in which there are no legal consequences, now or ever, the Dylan Farrow-Woody Allen saga is dominating headlines this month.
Farrow, 28, was jointly adopted by Allen, 78, and former partner Mia Farrow, 69. She says Allen molested her in the early '90s, when she was 7.
Allen denied the allegations then, but they resurfaced this winter after Farrow penned open letter to the N.Y. Times recounting her father's molestation of her.
The famed director has reiterated his denials, blaming Mia for coaching Dylan, making up untrue stories and fostering a lingering resentment of him.
Dylan immediately countered that Woody Allen is a child molester and he can say whatever he wants, but the truth is on her side and she won't be silenced.
Which seems to be her endgame. Allen wasn't prosecuted in 1992, though Farrow claims there was probable cause, and he will not be in 2014.
The widespread acclaim of Blue Jasmine and his iconic career in general seems to be the impetus for Dylan, who feels her story mustn't be forgotten.
Who to believe? We'll likely never know for sure, as both sides are adamant and unyielding in their positions in this decades-long blame game.

This is a difficult one because how can we decide who we believe, when we don't actually know the truth? It would help if the girl had nothing to gain in all of this, but unsurprisingly, she's calling herself "an actress." So that's where it gets difficult to believe her story. If she just came out, told her story and wasn't playing the fame game it would be a little more believable.
I have doubts about the mentality or perversion of Soon Yi. She grew up w/farrow as her mom. She slept w/her mothers man, her father. It's not like he's to handsome to resist. Knowing what he is, she adopted 2 little girls. How perverted is she. He might have married her to keep her mouth shut about what really went on between them.
Vanity Fair stated several known facts about the case that are not disputable and one of them is the fact that Woody, prior to Mia tossing him out for taking those nude pictures of Soon-yi, had been in therapy to address his weird obsession with Dylan. Knowing that, you would pretty much have to have that disturbing Hollywood mindset, that overlooks any sort of deviancy if you are part of the A-list crowd.
I just got paid $7500 working off my computer this month. And if you think that's cool, my divorced friend has twin toddlers and made over $8k her first month. It feels so good making so much money when other people have to work for so much less. This is what I do, >>>>>>>> YELLWORK.ℭOℳ
Why would she lie? And, her mother's age is 69 (as much as you want to not admit you know about the perverted number, you do and have been on the internet) so it wouldn't be odd she'd marry a pedophile.
What's in it for Dylan to lie? Nothing. Even though he may not have molested his long time lovers daughter, he is at the very least, an immoral fuck, to marry her. This pervert destroyed so many kids lives with his fantasies, that he should go straight to hell. I don't give a damn how "talented" he may be. I have not spent one dime to see his movies and NEVER will! There are too many other talents to watch. What the hell is wrong with Hollywood? What a morally corrupt society. That they constantly look the other way for these freaks is dispicable. What a bunch of hypocrites. Oh, and another thing....we really don't need to see your gross love fest of the awards "season".....every weekend. Ego season is more like it. Diane Keaton singing "Make New Friends" had me running to throw up.
There's no possible way for me or anyone commenting to actually know what happened on August 4th 1992, however I'm a firm believer in innocent until proven guilty. On the other hand if it is shown that Dylan's story is what happened, I will be the first one to come out and say that I was wrong and that Allen should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Everyone deserves a chance to be heard. Only 2% of rape cases that are reported are false. The chances she is lying are slim. Officials need to look into this and stop assuming that she is lying. She gains absolutely NOTHING by making this story up. I believe her. I really do. He is guilty to me unless there are hard facts that he didn't do it. That's that.

Denver >Food & Dining > Sparrow
410 E 7th Ave, Denver, CO | Directions 8020339.727286 -104.981865
Neighborhoods: Southeast Denver, Speer
I am in SHOCK! – I just moved back after being gone a year to find out that Sparrow is closed and replaced with a horrible horrble pizza place.............what in the world happened!
Nancy, please open another!!! Sparrow is sadly closed – To those of you reading these reviews, Sparrow is no longer open.
It was once a wonderful restaurant with a fantastic staff and wonderful food. My favorites were the tuna on tuna appetizer, the Tuscan Seafood Bouillabaisse entree, and the ?Sparrow? which was a wonderful white Sangria.
I?ll forever be grateful of the wonderful memories I have of this place.
Not as advertised - everything too salty!! – Visiting from the east coast, we were told to check out Sparrow. From reading some of these reviews, we expected a stellar experience. However, we were more than disappointed. First, because there was practically no one in there, the hostess was our waitress and was very difficult to find - mostly she was at the bar clear at the other end of the restaurant.
We ordered a very expensive bottle of wine and she was never around to pour it or put in on ice.,
When she finally took the food order - we waited, expecting it to be delicious but everyting was sub-par to terrible. First, the 'lettuce wraps' were presented in a way that I had to do all the work - the chicken pieces were too big - the vegs were too big - it was all a big job to get it to a place where I could actually wrap them. My husband had the tuna which was so salty that he couldn't even eat it.
I then had the chopped salad which likewise was overloaded with salt. My husband could not even eat his entree. Granted - we have high standards for cuisine. My husband is the chef/owner of a five-star restaurant in Massachusettes - but usually we can find something that is exceptional or at a minimum good - not here. It's a beautiful space though.
I've been going to Sparrow for about a year now and Im never disappointed with the food or the service.
One thing I can point out is that the owner is not genuinely nice and almost every time I had dinner there she was wasted at the bar, it's a little unprofessional!
Very Good & Clean – Great location, and better food. Plus this place is actually clean! Always something new and delicious on the menu! A great value!!
Excellent atmosphere and food – My husband and I ate here last weekend, and it was fabulous! We were able to have a very relaxing, unrushed dinner, and the food was exceptional. The service was a tiny bit spotty, but the great food and atmosphere completely made up for that. We also enjoyed the diverse crowd. Highly recommend it!
Tweet, Tweet, Find Another Place to Eat. – Sparrow restaurant couldn't be more appropriately named. Considering the miniscule portions in relation to the prices, this is not a place I'd return to. The ambiance was nice but very, very noisy. The service was mediocre at best. I had the expectation of spending an evening with great food and friends. I still have the friends. The great food will have to wait for another place and time.
A happy, delicious, incredible time!!!! – Went to Sparrow after reading the great reviews on Citysearch and was thoroughly impressed. The decor was beautiful and the hostess was rock solid! We were seated with no wait and our waitress was genuinely smiley. Ordered the veal and was just melt in your mouth incredible. Also tasted the mussels (a ton of mussels for an app) and the lamb lollipops - both incredibly healthy portions for apps. The back patio is just where it's at. Met the owners and the bar manager and everyone was just so nice and genuinely happy. Will be back!!! Happy birthday to our waitress. And Nancy, GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!
No butter slathered dished instead they prepare superb creative food. You must try this one! – Superb creative food with something for everyone. Ambiance too!
We visited on Friday, early in the evening so there was no need for reservations. They filled up slowly, but even with more tables occupied we were able to hear each other talk with no strain.
The restaurant is modern chic with a great patio and bar area with an amazing deal for happy hour. We actually dinned at a table forgoing the happy hour deals. The menu is creative with top quality ingredients. They have a menu section for ?Light Fare? but you would never know it by the taste. The Jumbo Shrimp Wraps are fabulously flavorful with beautiful presentation. From the regular menu the bass dish was prepared light but fresh tasting, what you would expect from a five star establishment.
I checked out the kitchen which you can see from the table area and the staff was impressively professional. I don?t know about you but I?ll take a serious focused kitchen staff over a bunch of jack-offs any day.
Service was excellent and we are planning to make this a regular on our dining rotation! It?s perfect to meet a friend or date. Menu prices are comparable to others in it?s category, but lower than Mezaluna which is close in proximity. There is also more menu selection than Mezaluna.
Well, at least you have atmosphere – I recently found Sparrow nestled in a quant neighborhood blocks from the downtown area. It looked fabulous, and due to its location, I expected a warm genuine dining experience. At first it seemed to be what I was looking for. We began our meal with a beautiful arugala salad perfectly dressed. Amazing rustic bread that was still warm. As the night became later, patrons at the bar wearing afixiated plastic assesories inturrupted my easy dinner conversation with loud laughter each time they frequented the bathroom. Finally, our bouilliabase (I will now attempt to critique what I cannot spell) came on an enormous plate that our table could not accomidate with the bread, water and wine (wine list is so-so, server made excellent recommendation). The calimari entirely lost its texture since it had been drown too long, and it was as though they added extra salt to the seafood dish. Hmm.... It won't be my new favorite place. Service was good, but not great... Server seemed nervous and didn't seem to like working there. Overall, too pretentious for Denver, and too cowtown for New York. Nice interior design.

Incentives Soar in Bid for HondaJet Plant
Governments in the Triad region are poised this week to approve $1.3 million in incentives and South Carolina could offer additional enticements.
Honda is nearing a decision on a place to make its first jet, and Triad officials are fighting aggressively to win the plant.
Governments in the region -- about 80 miles west of the Triangle -- are poised this week to approve $1.3 million in incentives to attract the Japanese automaker. The state could offer additional enticements to aid the effort.
Honda already has its headquarters for the airplane venture in Greensboro. Now it's considering Piedmont Triad International Airport for the factory. The project could bring $100 million in investment and create as many as 300 jobs, with average salaries topping $76,000 a year.
"I think it's probably the most important economic development issue that we've dealt with since FedEx" agreed to open a hub in 1998, said Mitchell Johnson, Greensboro's city manager. "The city and the county are ... going to try to put their best foot forward."
The Greensboro City Council this evening will consider a five-year grant to the company worth as much as $600,000. The High Point City Council will consider a five-year, $100,000 grant Thursday morning, and the Guilford County commissioners will consider a three-year, $600,000 incentive Thursday evening.
A spokeswoman for the state Commerce Department declined to say whether the state is considering any incentives. But based on the amount of investment and number of jobs, Honda could easily qualify for more than $1 million in grants from state-run programs.
The Triad has been among the hardest-hit regions in the state as textiles, furniture and other manufacturing declined. Leaders have sought to stoke the economic engine with new industries and marquee companies.
Dell is perhaps the most visible example of that effort. The computer maker in 2005 opened a factory in Winston-Salem, west of Greensboro, after state and local governments promised $280 million in tax breaks and other financial assistance.
Greensboro and Guilford County officials want the Honda factory, should it come, to do more than boost employment. They expect it to draw more development.
"Any internationally known company doing a major, exciting product draws attention," said Loren Hill, president of the High Point Economic Development Commission.
Honda officials confirmed that they are considering Greensboro, but, in a statement, said that it is one of several locations under review. Company officials did not elaborate and said that while the process continues, "it is our standard practice not to publicly discuss any details."
The plane that the company plans to make is part of a new class of lighter, more efficient jets priced as low as $1 million. Several established plane makers, including Cessna and Embraer, are getting into the market. And entrepreneurs have plans for air taxi and other services.
Some analysts say that the potential is overhyped.
It's "arguably the most overblown manufacturing market in decades," said Richard Aboulafia, an analyst with aviation research firm Teal Group in Fairfax, Va. "It's a dot-com with wings."
Even so, there is demand for Honda's product. It began selling the plane, which has a typical configuration for five passengers, on Oct. 17 and within three days had more than 100 orders. Companies are seen as likely buyers, as are groups of people who want to split costs and flying time.
It's unclear exactly how Honda sees its future in the plane business, Aboulafia said.

- Health Notes
Prenatal Vitamins Support Full-Term PregnancyPrenatal Vitamins Support Full-Term PregnancyMultivitamin use around the time of conception could be a safe and simple strategy to improve pregnancy outcomes
Prenatal multivitamins help pregnant moms to fill gaps in their diet and meet their own-and their baby's-special nutritional needs. Now researchers have found a link between taking multivitamins around the time of conception and prevention of early births and births of babies born smaller than normal for their gestational age.
Nearly 36,000 women participating in the Danish National Birth Cohort, a large ongoing study of pregnant women and their children, were included in the study. All of them reported using multivitamins, just folic acid supplements, or no supplements in the 12 weeks around conception: 4 weeks before the last menstrual period until 8 weeks after.
Multivitamins improve the odds
The women were followed until after delivery and were monitored for preterm births (delivery before week 37 of pregnancy) and births of babies that were small for gestational age (weight, length, or head circumference below the tenth percentile for the number of weeks of pregnancy). These are important measures of newborn health because infants born preterm or small for gestational age are at greater risk for a wide variety of health and developmental problems.
When the researchers looked at birth outcomes and vitamin use, they found the following:
- Taking multivitamins around the time of conception was associated with a 17% lower risk of small-for-gestational-age births in all women. This effect was strongest in women who took multivitamins in the weeks after conception.
- In women who were not overweight prior to pregnancy, taking multivitamins around conception was associated with a 16% lower risk of preterm birth.
- Multivitamin use did not affect risk of preterm delivery in women who were overweight prior to pregnancy. (These women are already less likely to deliver preterm.)
- Taking folic acid alone had no effect on risk of preterm or small-for-gestational-age births.
Having a healthy pregnancy and birth
"It may be that multivitamin use around the time of conception could be a safe and simple strategy to improve pregnancy outcomes," the study's authors said in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, while pointing out that more research is needed to show this definitively.
In addition to a multivitamin, there are a few other key supplements that you can consider taking during pregnancy:
- Omega-3 fatty acids. We get these from eating fish, but due to pollutants like mercury and PCBs, pregnant women should eat fish judiciously (perhaps no more than 2 helpings a week). Supplementing with omega-3 fats during pregnancy has been shown to help ensure full-term births and healthy-sized newborns.
- Vitamin D. Most of us don't get enough sun all year to maintain healthy levels of vitamin D, and some research suggests that pregnant women with low vitamin D levels are more likely to deliver preterm.
- Iron, folic acid, and zinc. Low levels of these nutrients during pregnancy are associated with poor birth outcomes. If you don't take a prenatal multivitamin, remember to stay on top of these nutrients.

Comments about Rainbow Light® Prenatal Multivitamin:
This is my second time buying this supplement and I love it! I can tell a huge difference in overall health when taking this. I was out for a few weeks, between orders and really missed it. Felt a bit more cloudy, tired, moody and even ache. I can't explain it. Didn't even really notice how much it was helping me until I didn't have it for a few weeks. Great product- would totally recommend!

Comments about Rainbow Light® Prenatal Multivitamin:
I am actually not pregnant, but I wanted to try out the Rainbow Light series for my whole family. At the time GNC only had the prenatal formula specifically for women from Rainbow Light. It's four capsules a day and I can't speak to how it would make a pregnant woman with morning woozies feel. For me, not pregnant, the pills go down easily and make me feel just normal. No strange stomach feelings at all. The one thing I've started noticing now after three weeks of taking it is how much stronger my hair has become. At first I thought nothing of it and was just glad about all these perfect hair days, but I realized the only thing I've changed lately was this vitamin, so it's got to play a role in these good hair days.
I feel this vitamin does a good job at bridging any possible vitamin need I might have while also providing some concentrated vegetable nutrients and probiotics. It's a good product without any chemicals. The capsules are taste and odor free, so not likely to offend anybody. The only problem is that there are four to take in a day.
One of the bottles can feel like a bit of an investment, but wouldn't you want to have the most natural and best product to support a healthy pregancy? This product keeps your body and that of a growing baby free of artifial dies and flavors. If you're expecting, this is the one you should spring for.
