Comments On Dec 09, 2013:Never worked on the shim type valves before so it was nice to be able to use a little trial an error to determine an ideal shim size. It also comes with a lot of shims so I can help out friends as well. I'll never use them all.

Comments On Nov 27, 2013:This kit is way better than buying each shim individually for five bucks a pop and the case is a nice touch.

Comments On Sep 19, 2013:Everything you need, comes with 3 shims of each size and that honestly seems like plenty, and if it's not there are always recharge packs for a particular shim size. I believe it's a MUST in this four-stroke era.

Comments On Aug 13, 2013:This kit is ok in a pinch but lacks all the .75 and .25 increments needed for a perfect valve job. Not the quality I was hoping for. Will stick with OEM shims from now on.

Impressive quarterly earnings from Facebook did little to keep analysts at bay or placate bearish investors, all of whom appeared broadly negative on its stock in early Thursday trading.
The company topped Wall Street's expectations by posting earnings of 17 cents per share, on revenue of $1.59 billion last quarter. Mobile revenue — the holy grail of most technology giants looking to earn money from smartphone and tablet users — also surged during the quarter.
Yet that — and Facebook's declaration of itself as a "mobile company" as smartphone and tablet users exceeded those using the web — wasn't enough to prevent analysts from damning Facebook's bottom line with faint praise.
Jefferies, Citibank, and Stifel Nicolaus all downgraded Facebook before the start of trading on Wall Street, even as they cited the beneficial impact of mobile on the social network's bottom line.
Stifel cited "significant margin compression" ahead for this year, while Citi saw a few red flags in the company's ad revenue growth and a potential increase in research and development costs. That, the bank added, will put more pressure on already tight margins.
Citi lowered it's rating on Facebook to "neutral" from "buy," saying it didn't see "any near-term catalysts for the stock." Meanwhile, Jefferies downgraded it to a "hold" on concerns that Facebook's current valuation made the stock too rich, given the trajectory of its expenses.
In turbulent after-market trading on Wednesday, the stock initially tumbled about 10 percent before it recouped most of those losses. Still, the bungee jump continued in pre-market trading on Thursday, which saw Facebook's shares slide by more than three percent.

Thin Layer Chronoamperometry
Model ID: 14423
The common electroanalytical method of exhaustive amperometric detection in a microscopic thin layer is modelled as a 1D-symmetric diffusion problem. The simulated result agrees with the analytical Cottrell equation at short times, and deviates as expected at long times when the diffusion layer spans the thin layer cell.
This model was built using the following:Electrochemistry Module

Viewers Pack UND Observatory for Venus TransitGRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - The planet Venus transitioned over the sun this evening for the last time in the next 100 years.
GRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - The planet Venus transitioned over the sun this evening for the last time in the next 100 years.
You could view it anywhere in the U.S., and in Grand Forks, people from all over came to watch the big event.
Venus transitioned in front of the sun at 5:06 this evening and even though it was cloudy, people could still clearly see the little dot slowly move across the sun.
People from all over the state packed the UND observatory this evening to watch Venus transition for the last time in our lifetime.
"We are not going to be able to see it again, that's why there's a fair interest in watching it," professor Paul Harddrsen said.
Harddrsen says there are precautions viewers need to take when looking at the sun.
"Don't look through the sun without the right filters because you'll burn out your retina," Harddrsen said.
But even with the right equipment, some still had a problem seeing Venus.
"I'm afraid I'm gonna have to get on the webcast to really see it because of the clouds," Rachel Shepard said.
Grad students felt honored to be able to study and watch the transition during their lifetime.
"To be timed right when the celestial event is happening is just luck, it's awesome," Space Studies student Annie Wargetz said.
Students were also happy so many little ones were hyped as well.
"I honestly hope that we inspire the next astronomers the next astronauts the next life support scientists, I hope we get some inspiration in these kids," Wargetz said.

It's OK
By Sllimz
from Queens, NY
I like it but I wish it wouldn't wear off so quickly. It leaves a white-ish color on my lips which isn't that bad, for me at least, it's great as a lipstick primer though even a gloss that has color. Oh... and the rave about it lightening up my lips is true and I LOVE that.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Can't do without this!
By Jo
from Mesa, AZ
Use it every morning, and before bed. Also good before applying some lipsticks (especially those older "favorite" colors). I live in a dry climate, so this a necessity!
Love the feel!
By Sabc

I will continue to purchase this product
By Granny Gear

I do love this product. It can be worn on the lips, around the lips, under lipstick, or over lipstick! It is a great moisturizer for the lip area.

Great For Dry Lips
By Oldie but still goodie
from Naperville, Il
I have used this for many years and it is wonderful all year. I like it in the winter when my lips get dry from our harsh, cold temps and in the summer after I am in the sun for long periods. It is especially great over-night to help restore the moisture to my lips and the area around my lips. I am 70 and have had some "feathering" when applying lipstick - this helps to lessen those lines.

Lamplight Christmas Wreath Exhibit will replace tree show at Sycamore Shoals park
By Ashley Rader
Instead of Christmas trees decking the halls, wreaths on lamp posts will light the way at Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park this Christmas season.
The park's new Christmas event, the Lamplight Christmas Wreath Exhibit, replaces the Winterfest Christmas Tree Exhibit. Winterfest came to an end because a museum renovation claimed the large open meeting room used to house the many Christmas trees.
To provide community organizations and clubs with the opportunity to continue participating in a Christmas event, the park revamped the decoration exhibit. Groups will have the opportunity to decorate wreaths to be placed on decorative lamp posts and intermingled with art from the Watauga Valley Art League show.
Sycamore Shoals Park Secretary and Exhibit Organizer Johnnie Pilk said the wreathes and lamp poles would be arranged throughout the theater and lobby of the Sycamore Shoals visitors' center. If the new museum is opened by the time the exhibit starts, then the wreaths will also be located there.

I know A2DP and OBEX will take a while to get (if we ever get it)...
Although it would be sweet to have an app stream music through BT even if it's crappy sound. Just stream the music without using the call bug to do it. Because when I use this and want to end listening to music I have to restart my iPhone... :'(
Call bug to stream music to BT (For those who don't know it):
1. Open keypad and type in: *#307*
2. Tap your BT device answer button twice with 2 seconds delay (this is to stop the BT headset not to play the ringtone over and over)
3. Answer the call.
4. Select sound source your BT device.
5. Open ipod and start playing
6. Open phone keypad again dial 0 and answer
7. Select sound source your BT device again.
8. Open ipod and start playing and there you go

Expanded Strike Zones
While Daric Barton (OAK) tops the list, Ike Davis (NYM) has endured more strike three calls on pitches located outside of the zone (9) this season as determined by PitchFX. Arizona's Stephen Drew comes in second with 6.
Of course, you must consider volume when reviewing players' ball/strike data. While Daric Barton leads the league in taken called strikes outside of the strike zone, he also ranks twelfth in taken strikes within the strike zone (86), and 2nd overall in all pitches taken (355). So it's not necessarily the case that umpires have been favoring the opposing pitcher over Barton. He simply takes a ton of pitches, increasing the chances of bad calls by umpires. However, other than Barton, only two other players in the top 25 in called strikes out of the strike zone rank in the top 25 in total pitches taken, Carlos Santana (CLE) with 352 and Mark Teixeira (NYY) with 301.

Formation of a new Anarchist Communist project in the UK
ireland / britain | anarchist movement | press release Wednesday May 02, 2012 18:25 by Collective Action - An association of anarchist communists collectiveaction at mail dot com
May Day statement of "Collective Action". In it we outline our analysis of the problems facing the anarchist movement in the UK and offer a call out to all independent anarchist communists to participate in our project to re-visit our political tradition, re-group and re-kindle our political action. [Italiano]
Where We Stand: Formation of a new Anarchist Communist project in the UK
I listen to them freely and with all the respect merited by their intelligence, their character, their knowledge, reserving always my incontestable right of criticism and censure. - Mikhail Bakunin
The contemporary anarchist movement throughout the UK, and indeed around the world, faces unique challenges.
This generation is faced with crippling austerity measures begun by the former Labour government and now accelerated by the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition. The economic crisis has provided political elites with a practical justification for ideologically motivated attacks on the working class. Efforts to bring down the deficit at all costs have provided the state with the necessary camouflage to manoeuvre into savage Thatcherite cuts to the public sector, education and social welfare, while also creating an incremental process of privatisation of the National Health Service, greater tax breaks for millionaires, tax cuts for businesses, as well as strengthening attacks on workplace organising rights. All of this in an effort to stimulate an economy that continues to stagnate, largely at the expense of increased poverty and mass unemployment, affecting most seriously women, the young and people of colour.
The stark realities of this situation are compounded by the fact that working life for British people is increasingly in economic sectors that are unorganised and casualised, or soon to be unorganised and casualised. This is while a traditional revolutionary left movement has essentially embraced a position of defence and retreat, cuing the outdated appeal to its standard yet dwindling constituents. The anti-austerity movement seems content to seek only a defence of the concessions won by older generations, rather than using the economic crisis and a renewed interest in radical ideas as a means to agitate and fight for a fundamentally different society. In the various regional anti-austerity groups, the authoritarian Marxist left and trade unions have entrenched themselves in petty squabbles over either bureaucratic union organising - in unions that have become increasingly conciliatory towards the coalition government - or what level of support they should offer to the Labour Party, in some cases providing them with a platform at organisational meetings and rallies.
The reality is that the existing repertoires of the Left do not speak to the challenges the working class are facing or indeed with the experiences of the majority of working class people, focusing primarily on the minority of organised workers in privileged economic positions, namely employed, contracted or salaried, non-precarious unionised workers. These mediocre organising efforts have been complimented by reformist struggles such as the anti-tax avoidance campaigns, anti-workfare campaign, which lacks a focused analysis of the nature of work. Initiatives such as Occupy, although at least providing a base for opening the debate on austerity, equally lack direction and focus or a clear understanding of the nature and cause of the attacks. Admittedly the occupation movements in other countries have shown signs of radical transformation, but in the UK most organising efforts have been couched in a social democratic framework aimed at achieving nothing more than a defence of concessions and in some instances actually criticising offensive efforts to fight austerity in the context of anti-capitalism.
The models of activism that the Left rely upon are still tied to the mass struggles of the 1970s/80s - mass rallies, pamphleteering and paper sales, manoeuvring within political meetings. Yet years of Neo-Liberal reform since then have manufactured a working class that is de-politicised, de-mobilised and individualised. What is required in this instance is not intervention, but reconstruction. The Left are still seeking to lead and direct a mass of workers that, to put it simply, does not exist at this time. Some radicals may look longingly at the resistance in Greece, Spain and other parts of Europe and, falling back on classical Marxist economism, argue that it must get substantially worse to get better. Although the simultaneous rise in political suicides in these countries should at the very least lead us to question the wisdom of this analysis - do we want it to get that bad? Such a view ignores the sustained, politicised resistance that Greece, for example, has retained throughout the 1980s/90s, the combative nature of social struggles, a record of concessions won from the state (particularly amongst the students and youth) and a growing anarchist/anti-authoritarian movement that is active, visible and engaged with the communities in almost every urban centre throughout the country.
Our only glimmer of hope, in these years of austerity, has been in the brief but bright struggles of the youth and students. Only here was it possible to see the successful meeting of two cultures - of political militants and organisers (anti-militarists, anti-war campaigners and others politicised through Iraq) and the creativity and combativeness of a generation shut off from the comfortable futures of even their older siblings. By March 26th, when the TUC called its Rally for the Alternative in London, it had already become clear how isolated this demographic truly was, as direct action was taking place on Oxford Street thousands of trade unionists watched Ed Miliband in Hyde Park, a pro-austerity politician, play to the crowd.
Unfortunately, a lack of ambition is not just something endemic within the traditional Marxist left. The anarchist movement has also failed to make a significant mark on resistance to austerity, as well as building momentum towards a general acceptance of anarchist ideas and methods. Historically the anarchist movement has shown itself to be distinct from the left, but in recent years - throughout the UK - it has failed to promote the richness of anarchist tradition and history or separate itself from the inertia of the traditional left, becoming nothing more than an appendage to it, content with fulfilling a propagandist role, or at times acting as the more militant wing of the austerity movement when required.
The building blocks of an autonomous counter-power must consist first and foremost of an attack on the myths of austerity and class compromise and the building of confidence in self-organisation and direct action.
Where anarchists have been successful in the past they have been vibrant and integrated parts of working class communities. This means abandoning the terrain of both activism and the Left, and finding ways to speak to the experiences of, and more importantly finding ways of organising within those sections of our community who have, in many cases, already made the critical step of seeing through the illusions of representative democracy but still remain disconnected from politics.
Ultimately the objective of an autonomous and self-organising workers movement is to build unity. Such an aspiration, however, should not lead us to ignore both the conservative and privileged nature of certain sections of the workers movement as significant barriers to this goal. A minority of organised workers seek to defend concessions in secure employment, which in contrast to the majority of the working class is a particularly privileged position. Precarious workers, students, the unemployed and their communities have displayed in the last year a distinct sympathy towards anti-authoritarian methods and have sought to push a momentum towards offensive direct action. At the same time there has been an acute lack of political foresight, despite the breeding ground for widespread radicalisation. This has been a failure of the anarchist movement to capitalise on this moment and use these battle grounds as a framework to build on this distinct anarchist tradition and insert revolutionary anarchist ideas. This is an area in which we have fought before - the intransigent revolts of the underclass in Montmarte in the 1890s, the counter-cultures of Barcelonas Barrio Chino of the 1930s and the rallying call of the Wobblies to abandon the conservative AFL and act as a pole for the excluded, abandoned and unorganised - it is an area in which we must fight again.
Collective Action: an association of anarchist communists
If the revolutionary lacks the guiding idea of their action, they will not be anything other than a ship without a compass. - Ricardo Flores Magón
Collective Action has been formed by a group of anarchist communists seeking to understand and resolve the issues facing the anarchist movement and the working class. Having lost confidence in the current formation of the anarchist movement, we felt it necessary to regroup and rekindle our political ideas and activity in the context of forming a wider analysis of the current situation. At the present time we consider ourselves to be a movement orientated association with a focus on critically assessing our failings and the nature of future struggle. However, we aim to actively participate in current struggles with the long term objective of building towards the recreation of a relevant and viable anarchist movement that is able to insert itself into social struggles, winning the leadership of ideas and fostering the cultures of resistance. We believe that this process of regroupment is essential to that objective.
We identify anarchist communism as a political current with its roots in the federalist, anti-authoritarian sections of the First International. This has been a global tradition present in the revolutions and social upheavals of the past century. In contemporary terms we believe this particular tradition to be best represented by the specifist conception of social anarchism. This is a conception of anarchism with which we actively identify. Specifism can be summarised as:
We do not believe that specifism provides complete answers to the problems raised above; we do believe that it is a method and tradition that helps us to address and understand them more clearly (as well as being true to the original vision of social anarchism).
This is a call out to all independent anarchist communists who feel the need to understand more concretely who we are, where we are and how we move forward. While the association encourages people to join it and participate in this process of regroupment, our project is not about quantity, it is about quality. We do not aim to build membership, we aim to build coherency. We do not want to compete with other organisations, but refocus our efforts. We are a space for anarchist communists to address their ideas collectively and to build those ideas into a coherent strategy that is grounded in common struggle and united by the robustness of theory.
At present we collate our ideas and discussions on our blog and through our website, which will be published periodically in our journal Ninth Symphony. Our aim, through this, is to publish materials that emerge as relevant and meaningful to the anarchist movement within the context of our existing activity as organisers and militants.

Apply for a Grant
New Submission Deadlines: May 15 and November 15!
- General Information
- Submitting a Grant Proposal
- Cover Page Template
Supporting productive organizations and funding innovative programs is the primary work of the IECA Foundation. The Foundation seeks grant proposals of many types, but particularly those that empower students to grow, learn and make reasoned educational decisions. We want to recognize and sustain programs that have a positive impact on students and their educational lives; help students be more knowledgeable and rational in their educational choices; and encourage students to believe that everyone has potential and is capable of great things!
The IECA Foundation Board of Trustees meets to review grant applications in January (applications must be received by November 15) and July (applications must be received by May 15).
We want to:
- Answer the question, "What really works for kids?" – and support programs that do that most effectively
- Deliver the greatest beneficial impact for the largest number of students
- Provide quality educational options for students who would not otherwise have them
- Award grants to programs designed to open doors to needy students
- Support organizations with low overhead, in which our money reaches kids quickly — and for which a grant of approximately $5,000 will have a significant positive impact
The IECA Foundation was founded in 1996 to support the mission and expand the role of the Independent Educational Consultants Association. The IECA Foundation's mission is to identify and support those programs that have significant impact on students and their educational environments. Priority will be given to those programs that assist students in making educational choices. In addition to its grants, the Foundation serves educational professionals, families and children through sponsorship of workshops and continuing professional development.
The IECA Foundation has a unique opportunity, and a special responsibility, to provide leadership for those involved in the process of making educational choices, including students, families, educational consultants and other professionals.
Amount and Nature of Grants
It is the hope of the IECA Foundation to provide monies for those projects meeting the mission of the Foundation as outlined above. The IECA Foundation is small, and its grants are typically below $5,000. Innovative and interesting projects that provide a solid "bang for the buck," provide assistance to students in need, and/or professional development of consultants are sought.
Application Process
Proposals should follow the format stated in Submitting a Grant Proposal. All materials should be submitted together. The review process begins when all supporting materials are received.
Eligibility for Funding
Non-profit organizations, schools and other educational institutions in the United States are eligible for funding.
Not Eligible for Funding
IECA Foundation does not provide grants to for-profit organizations, or general operating support to non-profit organizations. The Foundation does not fund individuals. The Foundation does not support any program that discriminates on the basis of race, color, creed, sexual orientation or national origin.
Review Process and Deadlines for SubmissionsThe IECA Foundation Board of Trustees meets to review grant applications in January (applications must be received by November 15) and July (applications must be received by May 15).

Warm up your fish throwing arm because the 27th Annual Interstate Mullet Toss at the Flora-Bama Lounge, Package and Oyster Bar is only months away! For those of you who are unfamiliar with the event, the Mullet Toss is a cherished annual tradition on the Florida/Alabama state line. The event draws a crowd of "interesting" characters, bringing them together to create a beach party like no other.
The festival offers plenty of activities. The main event, of course, is the Mullet Toss itself. Hundreds of contestants sign up each day to show off their skills and attempt to throw a mullet, that's right an actual fish, the furthest across the state line. There are also competitions such as a keg-toss and half-keg toss. If tossing things across an imaginary line isn't your cup of tea, Flora-Bama also holds a volleyball tournament on the beach and provides live music for your entertainment.
This year's Mullet Toss is scheduled to begin on April 29th and last through May 1st. For Hot Deals and accommodations visit Kaiser Realty's Specials and Packages or call 877-405-5587.

Reviews for Sage & Browned Butter Ravioli(7)
Sort By :
This was great and I loved how fast it was to put together. I did use frozen ravioli in place of the fresh.
Really easy and quite good. Don't leave out the parmesan; it added a lot. I used tarragon instead of sage and cut the butter by half after reading the previous reviews. It was enough butter and maybe cut some of the fat.
Pretty darn good! I used evoo and butter, and I used about 1/4 cup total. I don't care for things "swimming" in any kind of sauce. I used cheese filled rigatoni instead of ravioli. I served them with pork chops!
A simple and delicious dish with lots of browned butter (and sodium)! Yummy! Would make an quick elegant dinner for drop in guests.
I found it to be a quick recipe. I just love sage and I found this recipe to be a keeper.

Just as a FYI, Sheldon Richardson was a 5 star coming out of high school, went to Juco and came out of Juco as a 4 star. Not that the distinction is important for the purposes of this article.
It's debated several times per year.
"Stars don't matter," one person will say.
"Of course they do," another person will respond.
And away they go. It's a common question in recruiting: how much do star rankings matter when it comes to recruiting? After all, we've see both 5-star recruits (Adrian Peterson) and 3-star prospects (Arian Foster) go on to shine in the NFL.
But if you look at the list of SEC players selected in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night, you will see a group of highly-rated prospects before they entered college. Below is the list of 12 SEC players drafted on Thursday night with each player's Rivals.com star-rating before they arrived in college.
OL Luke Joeckel – 4
LB Barkevious Mingo – 4
CB Dee Milliner – 5
OL Chance Warmack – 3
OL D.J. Fluker – 5
DT Sheldon Richardson – 4
LB Jarvis Jones – 4
S Eric Reid – 4
DT Sharrif Floyd – 5
WR Cordarrelle Patterson – 4
LB Alec Ogletree – 4
S Matt Elam – 5
Notice a trend. Of the 12 SEC players drafted by the NFL on Thursday, 11 of them had a 4- or 5-star ranking before entering college. The one player who didn't receive such a distinction, Warmack, was the highest-ranked three-star guard in the nation (No. 20 overall) in the 2009 class.
How about some of the SEC players who were projected as borderline first-round picks but instead will likely slip to the second round on Friday? Wide receiver Justin Hunter, running back Eddie Lacy, linebacker Kevin Minter and defensive tackle Jesse Williams were all given four-star ratings by Rivals.
This still doesn't mean that only 4- and 5-star players are worth the time of coaches in the SEC. Just look at Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, who was rated a 3-star prospect by Rivals.
This year's No. 1 draft pick, offensive tackle Eric Fisher, was a 2-star prospect out of high school when he signed with Central Michigan. In fact, there were more players with a 3-star rating or worse (15) drafted last night than players with a 4-star rating (12).
But why is that? It's simply a numbers thing. There are so many more prospects each year with a 3-star rating or below than there are players with a 4- or 5-star ranking.
The 2009 signing class had only 33 5-star prospects, according to Rivals. That's 33 5-star players out of thousands of prospects around the nation. Other services, such as ESPN RecruitingNation, give out even less 5-star rankings each year.
While a lesser amount of 5-star players might be selected in the draft each year, there is a much higher percentage compared to every other star ranking.
Six of the 30 5-star prospects in the 2008 class were drafted in the first round of the NFL draft. That's 20 percent of the 5-star class, a ratio 3-star players and below will never come close to touching.
There's a larger amount of 4-star players each year, but still not enough to go around for everyone.
That's why evaluating correctly becomes critical for coaches in the SEC. Schools like Alabama, Florida, Georgia and LSU will be loaded with 4- and 5-star prospects each year. It's the addition of players like Warmack that can help make the difference in championship runs.
Richt knows the NFL matters
Coaches will talk to prospects about everything when it comes to recruiting.
Academics, playing time, offensive and defensive schemes all matter. But so does the NFL, at least to most prospects.
It's a common subject among recruits, according to Georgia coach Mark Richt.
"I haven't recruited many guys that didn't think or weren't at least dreaming about the NFL or hoping to be or expecting to be (drafted)," Richt told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Of course, not all highly-touted prospects make it to the NFL. It's important for them to have a backup plan (education) if their pro aspirations don't work out. But it's also important for a coach, especially in the SEC, to be able to sell the idea of making it to the NFL from his school.
"I think it's exciting for high school kids observing Georgia and trying to decide, 'here, would this be a good place for me," Richt told the AJC. "It's a big part of the recruiting process and what we're trying to get accomplished. But there's a lot more to it than that here as well. We care about an awful lot of other things, too, than just going to the NFL. We care about school and how these guys grow as people."
But with as many as 13 former Georgia players projected to be in NFL camps this fall, expect that to be a lead topic with recruits in the next few weeks. They'll certainly want to hear about it.
Wildcats focused on Ohio
Kentucky received its third commitment for the 2014 class this week from running back Mikel Horton from Lakota West High School in West Chester, Ohio.
All three of Kentucky's 2014 commitments – linebacker Dorian Hendrix and wide receiver Thaddeus Snodgrass being the others – are from the state of Ohio.
While it doesn't possess the depth of talent as Georgia or Florida, Ohio is a state with a strong recruiting base. And Kentucky is close enough to recruit there with as much success as it might find somewhere down south.
It will also help for Kentucky to strengthen its relationships in Ohio. Horton told the Louisville Courier-Journal he is "very close" with Hendrix and Snodgrass.
Their commitments follow the signing of 2013 defensive backs Jaleel Hytchye and Marcus McWilson, two four-star prospects from Ohio.
Kentucky coach Mark Stoops has given Kentucky fans reason to believe he will recruit at a higher level in Lexington. Kentucky's increase in season ticket sales is another indication their confidence has grown.
Stoops has made recruits believe as well.
"The fans are great and the atmosphere, and I feel what Coach Stoops is doing as far as rebuilding the program," Horton said. "… I definitely believe in what they're doing over there."
The hash tag only seems appropriate considering Florida's recent trend of tweeting different photoshopped images to grab the attention of recruits.
Florida wide receivers coach Joker Phillips, who previously used a Heath Ledger screenshot from the movie "The Dark Knight," had his latest idea from the PacMan video game.
Only Gators Get Out Alive! #comeplaywrforthejoker twitter.com/jokerphillips/…
— Joker Phillips (@jokerphillips) April 25, 2013
Florida offensive coordinator Brent Pease joined the Photoshop fun this week with his quarterbacks/Harry Potter tweet.
What does it all mean? Who knows, really? But it does show Florida's coaches are being active in social media and aggressive in the way they reach out to recruits.
It also doesn't appear to be hurting anything. The Gators have nine commitments for the 2014 class, which ranks Florida No. 3 in the nation by Rivals.
So tweet away, coaches. (And remember to follow us on twitter: @MrSEC)

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We were able to fit the Directions and Accommodations on this card. The back side is also available. We ordered in the Signature White (Pearly White) and love the look."
"This really completed our wedding invitations! We used the wedding invitation, the RSVP card and this card as part of our invites. It would be perfect for providing information of how to get from the church to the reception - however we actually provided a map and used this card to include a cute poem asking guests not to bring gifts and just add to our honeymoon fund!"
"My husband and I ordered this product to go along with our wedding invitations. However, we changed this to a reception card, as we didn't need a direction card (already got it through our vendor). Wedding Paper Divas easily and quickly worked with us to transform this card into the Reception Card we wanted, including adding the designs in the upper corners to the bottom corners as well! It looked really nice!"
"I was a little nervous about the enclosure cards because we were planning to do the RSVP online. I made a note in the order form, and they totally made it perfect. The color is great, and matches the rest of the invite very nicely. Love it!"
"LOVE THIS! We used this card to say the 'wishing well' poem where we basically asked our nearest and dearest to give us money in a suitcase for our wedding gift, nicely of course. It matched the whole peacock plume range, I'd probably add another or have same pattern (with clear centre) to write on both sides (for like accommodation, gifts, info). EXCELLENT!"

The first part of the Move for Change online survey determined whether the first two points of the 1997 Charter – that PwPs "be referred to a doctor with a special interest in Parkinson's" and that they "receive an accurate diagnosis" – are being met across Europe. Part 1 went live in April 2010 and closed at the end of October the same year.
The results from the initial survey showed clearly how PwPs are actually being managed, and the EPDA realised such data would provide compelling evidence that would support a consensus statement, which would, in turn, define how PwPs should be managed. More details about The European Parkinson's Disease Standards of Care Consensus Statement can be found here.
More specifically, the first survey's results highlighted areas where progress has been made and also those areas where more work is required. Interestingly, information from patient organisations was rated much more positively than the resources that are generally available from doctors.
Some positive examples:
Some negative examples:
More in-depth details were published in the October 2011 issue of the European Journal of Neurology, and can be downloaded here.

"There are no plans to make any staffing changes to the casino" Santo said in a press release. "We're looking forward to many new and exciting improvements to the casino, and to implementing a grand vision for the property. Our intention is to improve the product and service throughout the casino. In the past this property was known not only as a local's casino, but also drew in high-end players from other markets. Our plans are to restore that reputation to once again become the number one casino in Reno."

Wonderful. What a terrific, if very long, day. Michelle, our guide for the duration couldn't have been more helpful, informative or fun and Albert, who joined us once we arrived in Shenzhen, was a mine of information. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone, indeed, it has whetted our appetites for a longer trip to China in the near future.
Doing what: Guangzhou (Canton) China Day Trip from Hong Kong
Jim Bris
This was a long day, but not too much walking, so overall very good and an interesting introduction to a changing China. We were collected at our hotel (City Garden HK Island) by Michelle at the allotted time (also confirmed prior to collection) and taken by bus to collect others around HKI. We then went through customs and immigration and took a 1 hour ferry ride to Shenzen where we were met by Richard (Michelle stayed with us all day too) and a comfortable coach. We did the Kindy thing first and then to the Cultural Museum. There are four selected "original" terracotta figures here and you get a brief overview of the history behind them. Next into the shop by the terracotta warriors for the "hard sell" aspect where they get you to hopefully buy jewellery mainly, but some miniature terracotta warriors too. The emphasis here is unfortunately not the warriors but more the jewellery - if anything, this was the low point of the trip and in my opinion, unnecessarily drawn out.
Next on to the zoo - which was almost empty when we arrived and the coach drives in up to the panda area - no chance to see anything else at the zoo aside from the pandas, nonetheless, quite interesting.
Long drive (2+ hours depending on traffic) to Guangzhou which was interesting although pretty much built up all the way. Lunch (quite late - so Michelle encourages you to buy snacks before you leave HK and can be eaten on the bus) next in busy Guangzhou - Cantonese and pretty authentic, although a bit rushed. Walk through some markets with interesting and live things for sale (warned of pick-pockets here - so be careful). Off next to a temple and then to the train station for a pleasant train journey back to HK, arriving back around 11.00pm.
They also take photos during the day and offer these for sale at days end - quite nicely presented.
Finally - tips are requested/suggested by Michelle.
A very interesting day for a first trip to China - probably not good for small children.

Great experience, Michelle was one of the best group leaders I've ever seen! our Tour guide on the china side was a great guide as well I can't remember his name again unfortunately..... I would HIGHLY recommend this tour on a day trip from Hong Kong.......

The trip was fantastic and China was certainly an eye opener. The Tour guides were great and the day whilst long, ran smoothly. Would highly recommend.

Local HK Tour East company went far beyond our expectations in arranging our trip and sending info to our hotel before our arrival. Alex our tour guide was excellent and Albert, who joined us in China continued the informative commentary throughout our day. Ben, the bus driver did an outstanding job in some very congested traffic. A very good, value for money first tour into China. Thank you!

An excellent snapshot of modern China. Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful guides. Interesting and varied itinerary. Plenty of tasty food for lunch. Comfortable travel. Would thoroughly recommend.
Doing what: Guangzhou (Canton) China Day Trip from Hong Kong
We had a very pleasant boat ride to shenzen with interesting sights. The coach ride to Guangzhou was a welcome rest for some us as the trip starts early in the morning. The lunch was great and well worth to wait to get it by 3pm only due to the coachtrip. The walk thru the market is impressive and you can still see that Chinese like live animals..... The next points on the program were good too. The train ride back to Hong Kong was another highlight. A very interesting program and worth every single cent. Highly recommended trip. If you want to avoid a disappointment..... then don't eat at the train station while waiting for the train. The food there is like China was 20 years ago...
Doing what: Guangzhou (Canton) China Day Trip from Hong Kong
The tour was great! The tour guide who stayed with us the whole trip was very good- helped with tips like "get a snack before we start because it is a very late lunch" and where's the best place to go to the"happy room" (toilet), was very organised and just generally nice. The guy, Richard, who did the spruking during the china portion of the tour, was the "information" guide- he was excellent and had a great sense of humour.
The tour itself was good too, we were a little rushed for time at times but not unpleasantly so. Initially I thought going to a "kindergarten" was a weird thing, but the guides helped that part of the trip give a good insight into life in China.
The people we saw seemed friendly and were - on the most part - good natured with us tourists snapping photos everywhere.
The lunch was fabulous and the walk thru the market too quick for this shutterbug, but great. Some people were disappointed that there were only 3 Terracotta Warriors, but the tour clearly states that - the full collection very much further away.
I wouldn't recommend their "souvenir pack" with map and postcards - a waste f money! it's the worst printing and photography I have ever seen. Another tip, at the little market outside the restaurant they only take Chinese dollars so get some before you go.
The train trip home was very comfortable - shame it was dark and we didn't see much out our windows.
I would heartily recommend the trip as a whole, very well organised (not only the trip but particularly with the visas in and out of china) and a great day.
Some people wished we could stop to shop in shenzhen, If shopping is your thing, get a similar tour without the long trek to "Canton" and a stop in Shenzhen - But that is fairly easily done by yourself from Hong Kong (allow an hour for the visa thing when you're organising it yourself) and its probably better done on your own anyway, to allow you plenty of time to shop .

China was amazing, so were my guide. He became my Chinese friend now. We managed to see so much cultural and historical sites, while experienced local life and cuisines we would never got a chance to have if we go by ourselves. Thank you Viator!

We had a great time on this tour. It was very well organised. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see a bit of China.
Doing what: Guangzhou (Canton) China Day Trip from Hong Kong
I had a great day visiting China.This trip met and exceeded my expectations. The guides and arrangements were top notch. it's a long day but a great chance to see and experience China. I liked seeing the coastline on the high speed ferry, the streets of Guangzhou, the explosive growth of Shenzhen and of course the pandas. The guides in China are so positive and informative about their country. I'm so glad I took this trip.

11 athletes is just too many at this point.
The team should be pulled.
Come on,Rusia is invading Georgia and the ioc says nothing, and now you are worried about the Russian athletic team,if they have doped athletes in Beijing worst for them.

It's been over for a while now.
I love the celtics and will watch any team they put out there, but for people to still act like this team could go deep in the playoffs is nuts.

In response to BCSP's comment:
Hmm let's see no draft picks + a FA center who wants out + an aging PG with a bad back + a mental case who never met a shot he did not like + a PF who wants out + a coach who does not even know how to spell the word defense + a GM who is a legend in his own mind + an owner who spends more time running up bar tabs then attending to the affairs of his team = MANY TOUGH SEASONS FOR FAKER FANS!!!!!
Enjoy!! You most certainly deserve it!!!

Thanks snake for listening and want to know my reason. Noah beast . But everyone else is not scary. Yes rose will be back but not for a huge impact. Then you have the bucks who I hope they play. They seem like the 8th seed warriors from a few years ago. Jennings and Ellis will carry the bucks out of the 1st round . Irsa playing great . Then you have Saunders . Then beno of the bench. The bulls will not be ready

I am guessing you were born this way? LOL!! At least the Cs have plenty of options moving forward! UNLIKE the Fakers, who mortgaged everything for a clown like center (who is leaving after this season), and a PG who is a few years away from collecting social security.
WRONG. Who's your super star for the future Rondo???? Howard is our and we will be under the cap after next season. Tim Leggler says we are in better shape for the future than the Celtics when asked in ESPN interview. Look it up buddy. How's your man crush Fat Melo doing?????
posted at 2/1/2013 4:58 PM EST
I think I heard the same thing before the Howard trade. We are the best run organization, if Howard wants to leave I'm sure Mr. Magic wand will get something great in return. You do know he got Howard and Earl Clark who is opening a lot of eyes for Bynum who hasn't played a game.

This Lakers-Celtics argument is pathetic.
Lets get back to talking smack when one of the respective teams is any good.
We will see who has a better future my friend we'll see. We have a hall of fame owner and best GM in the business. Season's not over yet. Don't underestimate the magic wand.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

Wikileaks Posts ACTA Documents Revealing Enforcement Cooperation and Practices Info
|| Print |
Sunday April 12, 2009
Wikileaks has posted additional original ACTA documents, including draft language for several sections of the treaty. The leaked documents are consistent with earlier reports on the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights Chapter. The leak package also includes the Canadian non-paper on institutional arrangements for ACTA (Canada has since supplied draft treaty language that has not been leaked).
The one document this is completely new is the release of the non-paper on International Enforcement Cooperation and Enforcement Practices, which would form Chapters 3 and 4 of ACTA. The basis for discussion for the International Enforcement Cooperation (Chapter 3) are:
Domestic Coordination
Developing expertise within domestic law enforcement structures to ensure effective handling of IPR matters. One way of doing this would be maintaining specialized authorities for the investigation and prosecution of IPR infringement cases.
Public Awareness
Undertaking measures designed to raise awareness among government officials and the public regarding the importance of protecting IPR (ie. the problems associated with IPR infringement, such as health risks, economic damage, and other detrimental effects).
Risk Management Techniques
Adoping and sharing practices that assist in better identifying and targeting for inspection shipments that contain counterfeit trademark goods or pirated copyright goods. Such activities could include:
a. consultations with relevant stakeholders and competent authorities responsible for IPR enforcement to identify and address risks;
b. exchanging available data with other Parties regarding significant customs seizures of counterfeit and pirated goods wherever possible, including international networks;
c. sharing information with other Parties on approaches that are developed to provide greater effectiveness in targeting shipments that could contain counterfeit and pirated goods;
d. providing that its competent authorities may conduct post-entry examinations of business records, methods of payment, purchasing contracts, and importers' internal controls to track illicit financial gains and expose business practices related to trademark counterfeiting and copyright piracy.
Publication of Enforcement Procedures and Practices
An ACTA Party's sharing of information related to the IPR enforcement with the public is without prejudice to the need to protect investigative techniques, confidential law enforcement information, and privacy rights.

In perhaps the most highly anticipated debut this season, Alexander Wang stuck it to his doubters by delivering a highbrow collection for Balenciaga that did not disappoint. The newly installed creative director pulled from the house's archives for a strong, womanly collection marked by modern, structured volumes and luxurious, custom fabrications such as laser-cut velvet and multilayered marbleized prints. But the footwear really led the way into the avant-garde. Toe-baring pointy pumps were anything but staid, thanks to T- and V-straps coming from the insole for a thong-like effect.
