VIDEO: Rickie Fowler Four-Putts in Miniature Golf
U.S. RYDER CUP TEAM star Rickie Fowler got in some putting practice between rounds of this week's Children's Miracle Network Classic in Orlando, Florida, where he is currently 10 under par. Judging from the video, I don't think it helped him. Fowler four-putted from five feet. Those mini-golf greens are tricky.
"You know what I'm doing?" Rickie said in the clip. "I'm saving it up for tomorrow."
It looked like he really tried on the first putt. Then it sort of turns into hockey. We've all been there. (Well, I have.) I'm also guessing that Disney's Fantasia putt-putt course plays tougher than it looks.

backupify necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 901 diseños de 204 diseñadores freelance.
Backupify performs online backup for online accounts. If you are worried about losing your Gmail, Google Docs, Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Wordpress, Hotmail, Youtube, FriendFeed, Basecamp, Delicious, Flickr, Xmarks... we back them up. More are coming all the time.
Backupify is secure, simple, automated, trustworthy, and unique. It mitigates your risk, and makes you feel safe and secure. Backupify isn't about a lack of trust in the cloud, it's about controlling your own data.
Our audience is segmented into two parts:
1. Our consumer accounts aren't used by social media types and heavy lifestreamers (which is what we initially expected), but instead by I.T. pros, the kind of people used to backing up everything. Many freelancers and small businesses also use our software to mitigate their risk of data loss. Small businesses don't buy outlook or MS Word, instead they use Basecamp, Google Docs, and Gmail. Even if they trust those services to keep their own backups, they like the idea of having their own copy just in case. Data loss comes from hackers and user error too, so if online services keep backups of corrupted data, that does you no good.
2. Archiving and Compliance businesses are a small but growing customer base for us. Salespeople in the insurance and finance industries are using twitter and facebook for marketing, and by law they must backup those communications to comply.
The logo can be just Backupify, or can be Backupify.com. The word Backupify can be the core of the logo, or could not be part of it at all. It's up to you. It does not have to use our current color scheme, but it should at least look good with the current colors if we decide to keep them.
The #1 thing we need to convey is trust and security. The second thing we need to convey is some idea of what the product does - connect all these accounts together in a single backup system. Connectedness, the idea of a data hub, is something good to incorporate too.
We have many corporate clients, so we don't want to look too Web2.0ish, which means things like reflections are probably not going to work.
The logo does not need to include a tag line. But if you have a good idea that you want to try for that, feel free.
You can also think of logos related to cloud storage, downloading the cloud, SaaS, etc.
If you want to sign up for an account to experiment with the site, we are willing to give you a free one year account at this link https://secure.backupify.com/smallbiz so that you can better understand the site and what it does.

There are too many plants that can be started off indoors/outdoors in March to name! But here are a few to get you started…
Carrots – Carrots – sown one trench outside under fleece
Spinach – Salad – Spinach – planted out 'Turaco' spinach sown last autumn in a cold frame with fleece and started off indoors 'Barbados' and 'Emelia', onto 'Samish' soon…
Lettuce- Salad – Lettuce – planted out lettuce sown last winter in the cold frame with the spinach and sown some seeds indoors
Radishes – Salad – Radish – sown outdoors under fleece between other crops
Celery – Celery – batch sown indoors
Celeriac – Celeriac – "
Courgettes – Courgettes – sown indoors
Squashes – have yet to plant 'Honey Bear' and 'Sunburst'
Quinoa – Quinoa – batch sown indoors
Chickpeas – Sown indoors, first time trying them this year!
Broad beans – Broad Beans – ready to plant out under fleece
Peas – started off indoors but can be sown directly now – post hopefully coming soon…
Okra – Okra – couple damped off so planted some more indoors
Rocket – Salad – Rocket – sown indoors, not doing so well…
Watercress – sown indoors
Herbs – sown the parsley and coriander so far
Fenugreek – damped off, need to sow some more indoors
Cucumbers – Cucumbers – sown indoors, doing best at moment, please stay that way!
Tomatoes – germinated very well indoors
Potatoes – time to think about planting them outdoors under a lot of earth and some cover
Turnips – just sown some
Purple Sprouting Broccoli – just sown some (as well as some more Calabrese Broccoli) indoors AND just harvested first batch of last year's crop the other night to have with some of the last dug up potatoes from last season with baked beans, cheese and frozen homegrown runner beans – yum!
Leeks – Leeks – indoors
Spring Onions – indoors
Beetroot – indoors, on my list
Cabbages – Cabbages – 'Red Rodeo', 'Advantage', 'Caserta' – sown indoors
Brussels Sprouts and Brukale – Brussels Sprouts – quickly sow before it gets too late
Kale – The last of the Kale
Sweet Corn – on my list but I know from experience that I can still get away with sowing it in May, indoors
Rhubarb – Rhubarb – time to feed and start forcing
Fruit Trees/Bushes – time to feed!
There are bound to be plenty more veggies to sow/plant out as we plough on through the first month of spring. Temperatures are finally warming up but hang onto some fleece – the fruit trees might be lured into a false spring, deadly for blossom and fruit production… Make sure anything you sow outside/ plant out is wrapped up under cover, nice and snuggly. It will be a shock to the system if they are exposed to Britain's 'spring time' too early!
French Marigolds
Sweet Peas – they are ready to plant out under cover
There are BILLIONS more…

Among recent SEC actions were the negotiation of a $5.2 million settlement from a trader in Bangkok, Thailand, on insider trading charges; charges against the former head of investor relations for First Solar for fair disclosure violations; and an emergency asset freeze in a prime bank investment scheme.
Bangkok Trader to Settle Smithfield Insider Trading Charges for $5.2 Million
Trader Badin Rungruangnavarat, whose U.S. brokerage account assets were frozen via an emergency order in June, has agreed to pay $5.2 million to settle charges that he traded on inside information ahead of the public announcement of the proposed acquisition of Smithfield Foods by a Chinese firm.
On June 5, the SEC filed a complaint against Badin for making more than $3 million in illicit profits just days earlier by insider trading in Smithfield securities. In the week before a May 29 public announcement of the planned sale of Smithfield Foods to Shuanghui International Holdings, Badin had bought up out-of-the-money Smithfield call options and single-stock futures contracts.
He relied on a number of possible sources of nonpublic information. Among those sources was an associate director of an investment bank whom he was friends with via Facebook. The friend's bank was acting on behalf of a different company considering a Smithfield acquisition.
While neither admitting nor denying the SEC's allegations, Badin has agreed to pay $3.2 million in disgorgement and a $2 million penalty for his actions. The asset freeze made it possible to prevent him from moving the money out of the country.
Prime Bank Investment Scheme Ground to a Halt by SEC
The SEC has charged a Miami-based attorney and other alleged perpetrators of a prime bank investment scheme, and has also obtained an emergency asset freeze against them.
In the scheme, which promised exorbitant returns from a nonexistent international trading program, attorney Bernard Butts Jr. acted as an escrow agent to enable Fotios Geivelis Jr. and his phony financial services firm, Worldwide Funding III, to defraud approximately 45 investors out of more than $3.5 million they invested in the fake trading program.
Geivelis lives in Tampa; he used the alias "Frank Anastasio" with investors, telling them that they'd get returns of at least 6.6 million euros ($8.7 million) within 15 to 45 business days on an initial investment of $60,000 to $90,000 in U.S. dollars. That was supposed to be followed by a weekly return of approximately 14% for 40 to 42 weeks. Investors were lured in via Internet, phone and personal contacts, and were told their money was going to pay for bank charges to lease a standby letter of credit (SBLC) in the amount of 10 million euros from a banking group in Europe. The SBLCs were then to be used to acquire loans, and the funds from the loan were to be placed in a securities trading program.
Geivelis and Butts promised investors that their money would stay in escrow with Butts until he got proof from the receiving bank that a $10 million euro SBLC had been deposited into the securities trading program to generate profits for investors.
Not so, of course. There was no trading program, and no SBLC was ever sought. Instead, Butts has almost immediately distributed those investor funds to enrich himself, sales agents, and Geivelis, who has blown his part on such personal expenses as travel and gambling. Butts and Geivelis each took about 45%, and paid about 10% to the sales agents.
The three sales agents have also been charged: Douglas Anisky of Delray Beach, Fla.; James Baggs of Lake Forest, Calif.; and Sidney Banner of Delray Beach, Fla., and his company Express Commercial Capital.
The SEC seeks disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, financial penalties and permanent injunctions, and the complaint names several relief defendants: Butts' law firm; his wife, Margaret Hering; and Butts Holding Corp., as well as two other companies with ties to Geivelis (Global Worldwide Funding Ventures) and Anisky (PW Consulting Group). The investigation is continuing.
Former First Solar VP Charged With Unfair Disclosure
Lawrence Polizzotto, a former vice president at First Solar, a Tempe, Ariz.-based solar energy company, was charged by the SEC with violating rules requiring fair disclosure of information when he told certain analysts and investors the company would not be getting a government loan it was expecting.
Polizzotto violated Regulation FD, which requires material nonpublic information to be disclosed broadly and not selectively, when in phone conversations with some analysts and investors he indicated that the company was unlikely to get a U.S. Department of Energy loan guarantee that had been anticipated. When the company broke the news publicly the next morning in a press release, its stock price dropped 6%.
At an investor conference on Sept. 13, 2011, Polizzotto was present when First Solar's then-CEO publicly indicated confidence that the company would get three loan guarantees that totaled approximately $4.5 billion; the Energy Department had provided conditional commitments for the guarantees. Two days later, Polizzotto and some other executives found out that at least one of those guarantees would not be forthcoming.
After that, Polizzotto, one of First Solar's in-house lawyers, and some other employees discussed the manner and timing the company should use to make the news public. The company lawyer specifically said that, when the company was officially notified by the Energy Department, "we would not have to issue a press release or post something to our website the same day. We would, though, be restricted by Regulation FD in any [sic] answering questions asked by analysts, investors, etc. until such time that we do issue a press release or post to our website…"
Polizzotto, however, had other ideas. In several one-on-one conversations with approximately 20 sell-side analysts and institutional investors on Sept. 21, 2011, he spread the news, the SEC says. That was just a day after a congressional committee sent a letter to the Energy Department inquiring about its loan guarantee program and the status of conditional commitments, including three involving First Solar.
The solar industry was worried about the congressional inquiry's possible effects on the Energy Department, including curtailing the Department's ability to honor its conditional commitments. Analysts were issuing research reports about the inquiry, which meant that analysts and investors began calling Polizzotto.
Even though he knew the lawyer had said the company couldn't say anything prior to a broad release of the news, and the company had not yet done so, Polizzotto managed to convey in these phone conversations that loss of one of the loan guarantees was a sure thing. While he stressed that it was likely the company would still get the other two, he tipped off those he spoke with—both analysts and institutional investors—to the looming disappearance of the third.
He also told a subordinate to address the subject the same way he had, and pushed the envelope with at least one analyst and one institutional investor by telling them that if they took a conservative view of the issue, they would assume one loan guarantee was lost.
Polizzotto, while neither admitting nor denying the charges, has agreed to pay a $50,000 penalty. First Solar has not been charged in the matter; not only had the firm taken extra care via a disclosure committee to honor Regulation FD, when it learned what Polizzotto had done, it rushed a press release out prior to the market's opening the next morning, to make the news broadly public, and called in the SEC itself. It not only cooperated with the agency, but bolstered its compliance training and took other actions to avoid future instances of such conduct.

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — Officials say a man was struck by lightning while looking for work at a Central California oil field.
The Fresno County Sheriff's Office reported Friday that nobody saw lightning strike the 36-year-old man who was found unconscious just after 11 a.m. He had an entry wound near his left armpit and exit wounds on his feet. Officials say the injuries lead them to believe lightning struck the unidentified man, who remains under medical treatment.
The sheriff's office says that workers in western Fresno County found the unconscious man and called deputies.
He was taken to a hospital in Fresno.

Weed Man Springfield, MA's core aeration will help give your lawn a much-needed boost. Allowing your Springfield, MA turf to look and perform its best.
Mechanical Core aeration is the removal of small cores of soil and thatch from your lawn.
Core aeration may be done 1 or 2 times a season. The frequency of aeration depends greatly on the condition of the lawn. Lawns with very heavy thatch layers or with heavily compacted soil such as clay may want to consider 2 aerations per year. Aerations are usually done in the spring and the fall when the soil is moist.
If you have a newly sodded lawn, aeration is still an important step in the health of your lawn. When sod is added to your lawn, there is also a layer of soil that is added. This soil does not always match up with the soil that is present on your property. Layering problems can occur two to three years after sodding, however, when the lawn is aerated, the layering problems can be minimized as the two are combined with each aeration.
Customers who have damaged areas from drought, disease or insect damage would also benefit greatly from core aeration. Over seeding immediately following core aeration would increase seed germination by allowing the seeds to drop down into the holes left. Some Weed Man dealers do offer over seeding at an additional cost to the core aeration. Call you local Weed Man professional for details.

Selection of proper truck tire gives a comfortable ride and reduces the wear and tear on the tire drive mechanism, brakes and suspension parts. 33 Inch Tires in Alberton many factors determine the selection of suitable type of tire. These include the terrain where the truck is mostly driven, the climatic conditions, normal driving speed and the full load that is expected to be carried in the truck. Three major tire companies who design and manufacture truck tire for wide range of applications on different and difficult terrains are Mickey Thomson, Super Swamper and Pro com.

Car tires are more important than many people give them credit for being. They are literally your link with the road. The most dangerous place for you to be is out of or in poor contact with the road. In this predicament you are not able to have any input into your course of direction and that is a bad thing when you are going 60 plus miles per hour with no way to avoid crashing into something. Friction is what we are going for and there are some things that you have control of and some things that you dont in this area. You are responsible for your own and anyone elses life in the car you are driving and so you had better be sure that you have taken all the measures that you can to prevent a problem. Now the contact of the road has several factors as already mentioned. The majority of the friction comes from the contact of rubber of the tire with the concrete or asphalt of the road. The action of gravity on the mass of your car is the only thing that is causing this contact and so naturally more weight equals more friction between the road and your car tires. A good thing but can turn against you in the form of inertia after the friction has been overcome say after youve locked up the brakes, now inertia is greater with a heavier vehicle and takes more in the way of friction to stop it. Anyway rubber and concrete naturally have a lot of friction. Air pressure in tires will change the properties of the rubber by stretching it so that if a tire is overfilled it can decrease the amount of friction. There is also less surface area in this case. Anyway so you have rubber tires and concrete roads what more can you be responsible for? Well tread for one. How does tread affect the ability of car tires to make contact with the road? Well now we have to talk about outside factors that affect the surface of the road, namely weather. Water and snow and mud decrease the amount of friction by filling the natural grooves and not allowing contact between rubber and road. So how does tread help in this situation. Well tread is actually good because of the grooves in the tread of your car tires. The grooves allow the material no matter what it is to have a place to go other than between the rubber of the tire and the road. This decreases the hydroplaning effect that you get with all the different natural elements that can make driving conditions bad. So the moral of the story is to make sure that you always have good tires with lots of tread on your vehicle in order to maximize the ability of your car to grip the road and therefore provide you with control over the vehicle that allows you to slow down and steer to avoid problems.
Tires For Trucks
Car tires check is an imperative part of automotive inspection in ensuring your safety on the road. Basically for tires, the most common thing to do is to always make sure the tires have adequate and proper amount of air pressure. The tire pressure must be checked when the tire is cold as pressure is affected by temperature. The air temperature inside the tire is increased while driving and causes the tire to expand. A low tire pressure is more dangerous than a little higher pressure because the former makes the tire more susceptible to wear thus presenting the need for replacement. Additionally, when the tire is soft, the car uses more fuel.
The wheels and the tires too should be well balanced. A common procedure is to rotate the tires on a regular basis for an even wearing and to maximize the usability of the tires. If you notice that there is vibration when you are steering the vehicle's wheel while driving, it is an indication that the wheels and tires needs balancing. balancing is especially essential when the tire is new. Not only is steering affected by unbalanced tires and wheels but also the suspension system of the vehicle.
Tires have a certain amount of load that it can carry. When you put too much stuff in the vehicle, it also affects the condition of the tire. When there is excessive load in the car, the tire is possible to come off the rim when the car tries to turn in the road corner. Each vehicle has its appropriate type of tire to be used so depending on the possible loading on that particular vehicle.
Anyone who owns a car will one day be faced with the chore of getting new car tyres. Tyres do not last forever and if you allow them to become too worn you are not only breaking the law, but posing a serious safety hazard to yourself and others. Your car tyres will usually be checked when it is time to register the car; if they are a bit worn, but pass the inspection they may need replacing before the next inspection in twelve month's time. How do you tell if car tyres are worn?
Firstly there will not be much tread, or parts of the tread may be worn. The tread is the part of the tyre that touches the road surface. If the tread is worn the tyre will not be able to grip the road properly. This can lead to skids, aqua-planing in wet conditions and poor braking. Secondly there could be damage to the walls of the tyre. Bulges, splits and wear that expose the inner surface of the tyre all mean that a new tyre is needed immediately.
Tyres are classified into three main categories; the speed rating, the size and the load index. High performance tyres are those that give more speed, but they do not grip the road as well. The load index tells you what weight vehicle that the tyre can support, while the size refers to the diameter and width of the tyre. It also takes into account the ratio of one to the other.

Girls Season 3 Episode 3 (with some nods to 1 & 2) recap Well, it happened. It's inevitable. They wore me down, GIRLS. Or maybe Lena Dunham did. It's so hard to tell, because they're so inextricably one and the same. But somewhere along the way in the last break between Season 2 and now (or last week, yes, there were some Globes, OK?) something in the conversation changed. Full Story

What a relief it is to see Lena Dunham having the time of her life at the TIME gala! This lady gets so much grief for her work, her tweets, her body and, as a 26 year old show runner, she must be under the kind of pressure I hope I never come to understand. But you wouldn't know any of that as she kisses Claire Danes on the red carpet, parties with Padma, Amy, and Mia and genuinely looks like she's just up for a good f*cking time. Full Story

Girls Season 2 Episode 1 Welcome back, y'all. Season 2 of this little show nobody's heard about that hasn't been talked about at all. But I think it's important, as much as possible, to discuss the show separately from the entire cottage industry of media that has sprung up around it. Full Story

I liked Lena Dunham's new haircut a lot more than I thought I did, didn't you? I did think, though, that it looked a lot better in the nominee packs than it did on the carpet. The dress, on the other hand, not so much. The best word I can think of to describe it is "sedate", which just doesn't seem to fit for the woman who opened the show naked with a birthday cake.

Often I dreamt of a gluten-free bakery, filled with yummy pastries and tasty bread. And it seems that someone else too was also dreaming up the same thing.
New Cascadia Traditional – The Gluten-Free Artisan Bakery opened recently in the heart of NW Portland on 21st and Glisan sandwiched in between Trader Joe's and Urban Fondue.
I've sampled their French Bread, apple galette and chocolate peanut butter cookie. YUM! The French bread is pretty hard, but once you saw it into slices, it's a great addition to soup and salad, or dipped in hummus. And get this – it actually tastes like real French bread. Imagine that!
One tip: get there early or place advanced orders for bread and such. They sell out early and I've visited twice only to find they were out of virtually everything. Apparently, gluten-free goods are in HIGH demand. 🙂
Happy Eating!

What does UN-SPIDER offer to Member States through their Technical Advisory Support?
UN-SPIDER was created in 2006 after recognizing that disaster risk management and emergency response communities, particularly in emerging countries, were not fully utilizing space-based technology.
Why is that? Those in charge of both disaster risk management or emergency response efforts may not yet recognize the usefulness of space-based information, as reflected in the lack of policies promoting the use of such information. Additionally, practitioners might not be aware of where and how they can access space-derived data. Furthermore, even if disaster managers are aware of the advantages of satellite-technologies and know the existing mechanisms to access such data, they might not necessarily have the capacities to extract the data that could be useful and to apply it to their specific situation. Finally, they might not have the necessary facilities, hardware, or software to access and subsequently process the data.
Recognizing this existing deficit, UN-SPIDER is aiming at bridging the gap with its Technical Advisory Support. The goal is to ensure that all countries recognize the value of all types of space-based information to prevent and mitigate disasters, and use them effectively when challenged with natural hazards and related humanitarian crises. There are three types of Technical Advisory Support that UN-SPIDER carries out:
UN-SPIDER's Training activities are part of our Capacity Building efforts and aim at strengthening the capacity of individuals and institutions related to the use of space-based information to prevent, to mitigate, and to react effectively to the challenges posed by natural hazards and humanitarian crises.
UN-SPIDER's Emergency Support targets immediate emergencies and disasters. In such cases, UN-SPIDER will, upon request, activate its network of Regional Support Offices and other partners to make space-based data and services accessible, as well as derived products such as maps.
To make sure that all interested stakeholders can benefit from space-based information in the most effective way possible, UN-SPIDER provides Technical Advisory Support to Member States through missions. These missions include Technical Advisory Missions, Institutional Strengthening Missions and Expert Missions.

Do you have a business that's primed to expand and needs manufacturing support? If you want to retain full control of your business without investing a lot of time and capital in production, private label manufacturing is something you need to consider. Selling is an enormous part of every business, and once you get good at it, you'll probably want to try your hand at selling your products.
Private label Eye Serum Manufacturing in Coleman can get you up and run without the time and hassle of building up a production business of your own. By making proper use of private label manufacturers, you can focus your attention on the selling side of the firm. Here are the core concepts you need to understand.
Private Label Cosmetics Manufacturing Coleman Florida
As you can probably guess from the name, private label manufacturing is all about branding. It allows you to create quality physical products with your unique brand identity. Adding this ability to your business's repertoire will add tremendous flexibility to your money-making potential. The range of different products for which you can find Private label Cosmetics Manufacturing in Coleman solutions is practically endless; examples include makeup, hygiene products, clothing, car parts, and much more.
When you decide to start using private label manufacturing resources, it's critical to plan ahead and lay a solid foundation for your business. Because this manufacturing process frees you from the need to invest in the actual means of production, you might be tempted to start right off with an enormous product range. This is a mistake. Rather than releasing dozens of products under your brand umbrella, it's a much more sensible plan to start small. Invest in creating a handful (about three to five) of products that you can fully master before you consider expansion. Research your market carefully before you start! You want to be as sure as possible that the products you create will be popular sellers. Investing the necessary effort in market research before you get started will enable you to launch with some reliable profit-generating products that can serve as a strong foundation for future expansion.
Depending on the products you choose to focus on, you'll likely find that you have a choice between multiple private label manufacturers. Invest plenty of time in studying your options and make sure you fully grasp the factors that make one company different from another. Picking a manufacturing partner obliges you to look at a lot of different factors, not just final unit cost or manufacturing speed. Make sure you partner with companies whose abilities are compatible with the way you want to sell your products.
While Private label Skin Care Manufacturing in Coleman considerably shortens the amount of time in between product conception and being ready to sell, don't start fooling yourself with fantasies of instant success and overnight market domination. It's much more realistic to aim for capturing a small but reliable segment of the market and building on it in the future. Slow but steady growth is preferable to fast but hard to control expansion. Trying to hurry too much could lead you into the trap of chasing trends. Although it is possible to generate short-term profits this way, you're doing yourself a disservice by failing to build an organic, sustainable base. Remember that your ultimate goal should always be to create a durable business that will generate consistent profits.
When you're relying on private label manufacturing for your actual product creation, make sure you're investing plenty of effort into perfecting your brand. It's the factor that's going to set you apart from your competitors! You need attractive, professional, and memorable graphics for both your marketing materials and your product packaging. This is another area where slowing down is a great idea. Work up a great logo and name that can be applied to a wide range of products in the future; your brand is going to be the prime selling point for all of the products you create.

Private Label Skin Care Manufacturing
Are you considering starting your own skin care product line? If so, you might want to consider private labeling an already established line. There are a lot of benefits to private labeling skin care manufacturing lines. Below, we will be going over some of the many benefits of doing so.
Benefits Of Private Labeling a Skin Care Line:
1. Formula
The biggest benefit that you are going to get from private labeling a skin care line is the ability to utilize an already established formula that has been proven to work. Because you are going to completely take the guess work out of creating your own formula, it should really save you a good amount of frustration that can come with creating your own. Having a ready/made formula is a great benefit to going with a private label brand.
2. Save Time
Another benefit that you are going to get from private labeling an already established product line is the ability to save a lot of time. Because everything is going to be right there for you to use, you will not have to spend all of the time that it takes to not only create and craft your own product line, but also deal with the other intricacies of creating a new skin care line. All you would need to spend time doing is branding your product line with your own unique brand. As a result, you will be able to spend much more time crafting a very good brand and really pinpointing your own target market that you are looking to sell to.
3. Low Cost
Another huge benefit that can be associated with private labeling a skin care line is the fact that you are going to have a much lower initial cost to deal with. Because creating a brand new product line from scratch will likely require you to go into the lab and create and test all kinds of different formulas, the expenses in starting one from scratch can really put you in a hole financially. However, because the manufacturer is going to incur all of these expenses themselves, you will be able to get into the door without having to spend too much money on research and development. This is going to really allow you to start making profits almost immediately and will make the initial investment all about buying the product instead of research and development.
4. Reallocation Of Resources
Because you are not going to be responsible for coming up with the formulas and because you are not going to have to worry about research and development associated with doing so, you should be able to effectively reallocate all of your resources, time, energy, and money into marketing and branding your new product line. Because of this, you will be able to really maximize the amount of money that you are able to make with your product line because all of your money and resources will be going towards marketing instead of other non result producing segments of the business.
5. Better Quality Control
Because you are going to be buying your products and private labeling them, you will be able to have a professional company that manufacturers your products for you. Because they ultimately depend on having quality products and good overall quality control, you are not going to have to worry about the overall quality of your products. Having a company that is behind the scenes making your products that have a vested interest in ensuring that the quality standards are met will go a long ways towards ensuring that you are able to retain the highest level of quality for your products. They are going to want to be sure to satisfy you in terms of quality control because they know that you are going to go for another company if they do not meet your standards.
In the end, there are a variety of benefits that you are going to be able to get when you invest in a private label brand rather than investing into starting your own from scratch. It is going to be a much better decision to go with a private label brand for those that are looking to test the market and really try to maximize profits because starting your own from scratch can be an incredibly costly and time consuming process that is likely going to take a long time to reach profitability status. Finding the right private labeling company doesn't have to be too difficult. By looking through your options and seeing which company is going to offer you the kind of experience and quality products that you are interested in and feel comfortable with, you should be able to make a solid decision regarding which company to go with.

Three-Pointers: Celtics slog out win over Bulls
Kevin Garnett and the Celtics escaped with a tough win over the Bulls on Wednesday. (Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)
By Rob Mahoney
We probably should have seen this coming. Both the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls typically use elite defensive play to drag along their inefficient offenses, leaving their head-to-head matchups to be waged as a battle of attrition. That was certainly the case in Wednesday's ugly, tightly officiated affair, in which Boston escaped with a 71-69 win.
• The scoring limitations of both teams were in full view throughout Wednesday's game, but the third quarter -- which the Bulls "won" 13-8 -- showcased a really remarkable level of offensive inadequacy. One particular two-and-a-half-minute stretch comes to mind; after Kevin Garnett made a jumper with 8:29 remaining in the frame, Boston and Chicago combined their efforts into 12 consecutive bungled possessions (nine misses and three turnovers) without a single point to show for it. For those that lack the patience to sit through this entire game on DVR or League Pass Broadband, that brief stretch conveniently presents this matchup in a nutshell: slow play initiation, unproductive perimeter passing, sloppy ball-handling, and contested mid-range jumpers. Identical sequences repeated throughout the game to varying effect, but harsh reality set in for both teams in the third as neither club had the shot creators necessary to contend with so well-schooled an opposing defense.
The Celtics were generally more successful in terms of actually creating a shot attempt of some sort, though they ultimately struggled due to the clamps put on Paul Pierce (eight points, six assists, six rebounds) and Kevin Garnett (12 points, 11 rebounds, three assists). Chicago's top defenders honed in on Boston's most reliable offensive players, and in doing so challenged the likes of Brandon Bass (14 points, nine rebounds) and Avery Bradley (10 points, 4-12 FG) to beat them. That gambit worked brilliantly, as the Celtics scored at a rate of just 82.6 points per 100 possessions -- a mark that registers about 15 points worse than the last-place Washington Wizards' season average.
The only problem was that the Bulls didn't fare all that much better. Kirk Hinrich was dearly missed as the Bulls stalled in the initial stages of their offensive execution, and struggled throughout the night with even the most basic dump-offs and entry passes. Some of that is just the fate of any opponent who matches up with the Celtics (Boston's opponents turn the ball over on 15.6 percent of their possessions on average, fifth in the NBA), but the Bulls seemed particularly sloppy in committing 22 total turnovers in a game played at a glacial pace. That Chicago was able to remain competitive while giving away so many possessions is impressive, if only in the same way that Boston's win was remarkable in light of their 36.8 percent shooting from the field.
• Since returning from a hamstring injury almost a month ago, Luol Deng just hasn't been the same. According to NBA.com, Deng averaged 35.0 percent shooting on over 15 attempts per game during an eight-game stretch leading into Wednesday, and he didn't much help that percentage much by putting up eight points on 4-of-10 shooting against the Celtics. Every scorer goes through ruts, but what's worrisome with Deng is the nature of the shots he's missing. The Bulls' offense doesn't have the luxury of wasting quality attempts, and yet recently Deng has been leaving points on the floor by missing wide open shots from his most comfortable zones. Thus it comes as no surprise that Chicago is now 4-5 since Deng's return to the lineup, with each of those losses coming against a formidable defensive opponent. Deng doesn't have to be any better than his season averages (roughly 17 points a night on 42.5 percent shooting from the field) for the Bulls to make do, but anything less puts this team in an incredibly difficult situation that even their highly disciplined defense can't consistently manage.
• Toward the end of this game, Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau chose to employ a full-team, full-court press, and in doing so was able to create problems and consternation for the Celtics' ball-handlers. I'm honestly surprised that we don't see a similar full-court front from Celtics opponents more. Rajon Rondo was too clever off the dribble and too quick for opponents to bother in the open court, but Avery Bradley, Jason Terry, and Paul Pierce can be easily pestered by an on-ball blitz with a half-way decent pressure scheme. The Bulls certainly have that, and were even able to force a five-second violation in crunch time on one of Boston's back-court inbounds plays. Doc Rivers will surely equip his team to better handle that kind of pressure next time around, but this would seem to be a valuable tool that opponents can use to drain Boston's shot clock, create turnovers, and wear down its most prominent offensive players.

It's a family memoir with a shocking ending. In 2004, battles between Haitian police forces and neighborhood gangs forced the frail and elderly Joseph Dantica to flee Haiti and seek asylum in the United States. Despite having a passport and valid visa to enter the U.S., Dantica was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials in Miami, and died in their custody soon after being taken off his regular medications.
In 2007, Danticat testified before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee about her uncle's treatment. (You can read the full transcript of her testimony here.) Her short but heartbreaking statement soon became a rallying point for immigration reform efforts, and open up a window into the detention practices and oversight of ICE. Why was Danticat's testimony so effective?
- It was in her own words. Personal stories have power, especially when the topic is a complicated one of bureaucracy, law and competing political agendas. Danticat is a gifted storyteller, but her testimony gains its power not from wordplay but from the simple and short description she gives of her uncle--not as "Alien #27041999" but as a vibrant and well-loved person that anyone would miss and mourn:
His name was Joseph Nosius Dantica and he was 81 years old. He was the patriarch, the head, of our family. He was a father of two and grandfather of fifteen, an uncle to nearly two dozen of us, a brother, a friend, and even, after having survived throat cancer, which took away his voice, a minister to a small flock in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
- She describes a vivid scene. Halfway through her testimony, Danticat's "voice" shifts gears as she relates a horrifying scene during her uncle's detention hearing. She's unflinching with the details, but also tells this part of the story with dialogue, like a scene from a movie or novel. The technique draws listeners into her story, as if they were observing the events firsthand:
To those who saw him, including his lawyer, he appeared to be having a seizure and he began to vomit. Vomit shot out of his mouth, his nose, as well as the tracheotomy hole he had in his neck as a result of the throat cancer operation. The vomit was spread all over his face, from his forehead to his chin, down to the front of his dark blue Krome issued overall.
- Sometimes, facts speak for themselves. As Danticat recalls how her uncle's health rapidly deteriorated within hours, her testimony begins to sound like entries from a medical chart. But each change in his condition gets a time stamp that gives the testimony a relentless pacing, like a ominous drumbeat:
At 7:55PM, his heart rate rose to 110 beats per minute. An electrocardiogram (EKG) was performed at 8:16PM. The next note on the chart shows that he was found pulse-less and unresponsive by an immigration guard at 8:30PM. He was pronounced dead at 8:46PM.You can hear more about Joseph Dantica's detention in three short clips from the Washington Post's audio archive on immigration issues. In these clips, Danticat speaks in a conversational style that makes the issue of asylum seem more personal than political.

'Inner Dialogue' Might Aid People With Autism
Learning strategy may help with planning, functioning independently, small study says.
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 25, 2012 (HealthDay News) — Learning to "talk things through in their head" could help people with autism make plans and complete complex daily tasks, researchers say.
These skills might increase the likelihood that people with autism can live independent, flexible lives, according to the study led by a team at Durham University in England.
The researchers compared how 15 high-functioning adults with autism spectrum disorder and 16 adults without the disorder completed a test that measures planning ability as well as a short-term memory task.
Autism is characterized by repetitive behaviors and difficulty with communication and social interactions. The researchers said that the use or non-use of thinking in words is strongly associated with the degree of communication problems that are rooted in early childhood.
The researchers said that children with autism have the mechanism for using "inner speech" but they don't always use it in the same way as typically developing children.
Teaching children with autism how to encourage inner speech, such as encouraging them to describe their actions out loud, may make a difference, the researchers said. This type of approach has previously been shown to increase mental flexibility among typically developing children.
The study authors also suggested that children with autism could benefit from verbal learning of their daily school schedules, rather than using written or other visual timetables.
The study appeared online Jan. 25 in the journal Development and Psychopathology.
"Most people will 'think in words' when trying to solve problems, which helps with planning or particularly complicated tasks," study author David Williams, a lecturer in the department of psychology at Durham University, said in a university news release. "Young, typically developing children tend to talk out loud to guide themselves when they face challenging tasks."
However, it is only from about age 7 that "they talk to themselves in their head and, thus, think in words for problem-solving," he added. "How good people are at this skill is in part determined by their communication experiences as a young child."

St. Johns County public schools swelling
Superintendent says county is growing at the rate of one school per year
SWITZERLAND Fla. – With 33,000 students from kindergarten through 12th grade now attending St. Johns County schools, the number of children returning to the classrooms Monday are somewhat overwhelming to students, parents and staff.
Switzerland Point Middle School has 1,280 enrolled this year -- 100 more than last year and 50 more than they had in the budget.
"We have four elementary schools that feed to us, so lots of students who don't know each other. They've never been in a building this large or with this many," said Principal Lisa Kunze. "We do have six portables. We're using every room in the building, every space. The auditorium is used as a classroom. We're bursting."
It's not surprise St. Johns County is the fastest growing school district in the state. The district has the highest FCAT scores in Florida and has received an A-rating for the past decade. That success comes with a price.
"We're growing at a rate of about a school a year," said Superintendent Joe Joyner. "We're essentially out of capital dollars to pay for continued schools, and so we've got to look at a long-term solution."
There are currently two K-8 schools under construction in the northern half of the county, but more schools need to be in the pipeline.
Joyner says they're working with state legislators to try to secure funding to help them alleviate some of the overcrowding and expansion and growth
New faces at Cunningham Creek Elementary
It's not only the very first day of school for many students, it's also the first for several teachers and even one principal in St. Johns County.
Although he's not new to education, Jud Strickland is only new principal in St. Johns County, working at Cunningham Creek Elementary.
Strickland had the chance to hire a lot of his staff this year. Some of whom are brand new too; it's their first year ever teaching.
He's a new face around Cunningham Creek Elementary, but it already feels like home for him.
"I think this district right away I've noticed the heart that it has and I've noticed how every department, every teacher, every maintenance worker, food service provider, all shares the same vision and mission," said Jud Strickland.
Strickland's only been principal there for 8 weeks. He's already noticed, all of his 800 plus students, their families and his more than 100 staff members are on board; Success is natural.
"I think our thought here is that we want our students to look back 10, 20, 30 years from now and remember Cunningham Creek with fondness and warmth in their heart and that we really provide students a safe place, a loving place so they have life long memories for them and their families," said Strickland.
Having stellar teachers is the only way Strickland said they can reach that goal. Some of them are also starting their first day of school Monday.
"I'm a little nervous but we're excited. I get to implement everything I learned in college and now I get to use it in the real classroom," said Maegan Cassel.
Cassel just graduated from University of North Florida, but she's also a graduate of Cunningham Creek Elementary.
As she and Strickland both begin their first year leading students there, they share a common goal: Implementing common core standards.
"I think our goal this year as a district is to make sure parents understand common core, the rigor of those standards, and what their students are going to have to produce in the classroom."
Common core is a set of national standards now in all schools in Florida and most states in the country. At Cunningham Creek, students have the privilege of using iPads to get going on that. Cassel is one of three third grade iPad classes.

The runner who died after he collapsed just metres from the finish line of Sunday's City2Surf was a fitness enthusiast and worked with Fox Sports.
Chris Head, 27, from Coogee collapsed at Bondi Beach on the last stretch of the annual run.
Witnesses said the Mr Head fell but tried to crawl the last few metres to the finish line.
He was taken to St Vincent's Hospital in a critical condition, a spokesman for the NSW Ambulance Service said.
A hospital spokesman confirmed he died a short time later.
His brother, Jonathan Head, posted on social networking site Facebook on Monday that he had lost his older brother.
"I'm very sorry to inform everyone that Chris collapsed yesterday at the finish line of the City 2 Surf," he wrote.
"He died of a heart attack shortly afterward. This has been an indescribable shock to us all and we loved him more than we can say."
Mr Head attended Scots College, worked for Fox Sports and participated in CrossFit. His Facebook page is full of posts about health and fitness.
A spokesperson for the City2Surf said: "It's a moment of enormous sadness and our thoughts are with his family and loved ones."
It was reported that the man's partner was also believed to be running in the event but was not with him when he collapsed.
ABC journalist Anne Barker was covering the run for the national broadcaster and was nearby when he fell.
"I turned around and saw him almost crawling, clearly in trouble, but still trying to reach the line. He was barely a metre away," she told the ABC.
"He was very white. Suddenly he just collapsed on the ground, rolled on his side and stopped moving."
She said she saw paramedics race to the man, who was unconscious, and place him on a stretcher.
"It was all the more distressing because runners were just streaming past him, so clearly happy to have finished, many unaware of what had happened," she said.
In 2008, a 26-year-old runner, Lee Marriage, died just 200 metres from the finish line after suffering a heart attack.
Paramedics were unable to revive the IT worker, who was originally from Britain but had lived in Sydney for five years before his death.
Friends said at the time they were shocked as Mr Marriage was a regular runner, who also played football and did not have an ounce of fat on him.
More than 80,000 people took part in this year's 14-kilometre race from the Sydney CBD to Bondi Beach, by way of the infamous "Heartbreak Hill".
Olympian Craig Mottram won the race in just under 42 minutes.

Whare Kea Lodge Boating
Springtime at Wanaka. Sprouts of green leaves. Sprigs of pink blossom. Golden daffodils. Cloud-white fleece on newborn lambs. Puffy white breasts of the wood pigeons gorging on bursting willow buds. A sky filled with bird wings – terns, dotterels, pied stilts and oystercatchers returning from a northern winter to breed on the river banks.
Wanaka is a delight in all seasons
Whare Kea Lodge & Chalet is ideally located to access the vast array of activities that Wanaka has on offer – from skiing to golf, canyoning to wine tasting, scenic flights to fishing and many, many more!
Airborne – including Milford and Doubtful Sounds
Only when airborne can you fully take in the grandeur of this region – the latticed rivers, the lakes, the Fiords, National Parks and mountains with tumbling waterfalls cascading to the valleys below. Take to the skies by Helicopter, Vintage Tiger Moth or well appointed Cessna Aircraft.
Wanaka is well suited for exploring by bike, with a variety of mountain-biking trails in the district. Cyclists can choose from gentle paths through serene countryside to more challenging descents from mountain slopes
An exhilarating challenge, canyoning involves climbing, jumping, abseiling down waterfalls, swimming and floating through spectacular rock formations.
Chalet Adventures
Experience luxury at altitude. The exlusive Whare Kea Chalet sits at 1750m on the edge of Mt Aspiring National Park with outstanding 360degree views including Mt Apiring, Mt Cook and the glaciers. Luxury overnight accommodation and day trip options are available.
You don't have to travel far from Whare Kea to find your own piece of paradise in which to fish, with the lake and nearby rivers / streams brimming with salmon and trout.
Four Wheel Drive Safari
A four-wheel drive trip is a wonderful way to take in the scenery and discover the history of Central Otago.
New Zealand is renowned for its superb golf courses. But in Central Otago, set among the most stunning scenery, the views could well interrupt the concentration of even the most dedicated golfer.
Timber Creek has a stable of 16 horses, including thoroughbreds, and offers a range of rides tailored to your equestrian skills.
For hunters seeking game in the hinterland of Wanaka, tahr is the ultimate target, for New Zealand is the only place in the world where this magnificent beast can be freely hunted.
New Zealander Sir Charles William Feilden Hamilton, more commonly known as Bill Hamilton, is credited with developing the jetboat from a desire to navigate rivers too shallow for propeller boats.
The Wanaka region offers the gamut of kayaking options, from a gentle paddle at your leisure on the lake to scenic river trips and bracing action through rapids.
Lake Cruise to Mou Waho Island
Get picked up from the beach below Whare Kea Lodge and cruise for 35 mins by boat with Eco Wanaka Adventures to the magical Mou Waho Island Nature reserve.
Mountaineering is a serious pursuit and taking a guide is recommended. Around these parts experts, who have traversed the international slopes and guided the "greats", are sought after for a journey up the summits known for their amazing grandeur.
For a full wilderness rafting experience, the Landsborough River is hard to beat. It's usually a two- or three-day camping trip covering 50-odd kilometres, accessed by helicopter or fixed-wing plane, though some operators offer a one-day option.
Skiing – Resort, Heli & Touring
During the winter months the Lake Wanaka region is a skiers dream. With easy access to three of the South Island major Ski Resorts and thousands of hectares of untouched heliski terrain. Whare Kea's chalet, at 1750 metres above sea level on the slopes of Dragonfly Peak, makes an ideal base for skiing in a dramatic alpine setting.
Wanaka has a wealth of tramping options that take you into the unrivalled alpine surrounds, with trips ranging from one to eight days. Many are around the three- to four-day mark and all are recommended during fair weather in the months of November to April.
Winery Tours
With an international reputation, especially for Pinot Noir, the Central Otago vineyards are a must-visit. Take a private tour for a half or full day through the region – meet the winemakers and sample some of the award-winning wines.
Beautiful walks abound in the lodge's immediate environs where you can take in spectacular vistas of the lake and surrounding mountains. A track following the contour of the lake leads to the delightful town of Wanaka in around an hour.

Dog brings boy back to life | News
ATLANTA, Ga. -- There once was a tiny boy with an old soul whose name was Creed. His name meant 'to believe.'
Creed had a fierce spirit, but a body that battled illness from the day he was born.
His parents speak a language they never wanted to learn -- a language of pre-leukemia and chromosonal issues and bone marrow transplants.
It was a language that forced Creed to spend half his life in the hospital.
"There's nothing medically normal about that kid," says Creed's mom Stephanie Campbell.
It would seem a bleak existence -- the opposite of what childhood should be.
But Casper, a service dog from Canine Assistants, changed all of that.
Casper was the new therapy dog at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite. Creed was one of Casper's first kids.
The bond was instant. Different.
Casper's owner and handler Lisa Kinsel says the relationship between these two went way beyond the demands of the job.
There were movies and sleep overs and countless hours spent in Creed's bed. After a lifetime of illness, a little boy had a best friend.
Creed's father Jon says, "I don't think he ever saw Casper as a dog."
One day creed was near death. Casper came and got in bed with the little boy. Mom Stephanie put her son's hand on Casper's paw. His hand began to move. Later a nurse told the family, "That dog just saved your son."
Creed's health was restored but then the sickness returned.
John and Stephanie could see their little boy was done fighting.
Not long after creed died a new litter of puppies was born at canine assistants. They named one for Creed.
It's an idealized image of childhood -- a boy and his dog.
But the love between this boy and this dog was beyond everyone's understanding. Creed's parents believe the comfort and love Casper gave to Creed came from God, until the very end.
Creed's name will live on in another creature who will one day comfort and care for someone else.
And that would make the tiny boy with the old soul very happy.
