BMI Consulting brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 139 Designs von 21 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We are a clinically focused company which provides a questionnaire specifically designed to evaluate the morbidly obese for their candidacy as weight loss surgery patients. Our questionnaire provides a report that not only identifies issues which need to be addressed for weight loss surgery patients prior to surgery but also predicts the potential success for each individual on a patient by patient basis. There are other industry standard questionnaires which do a similar assessment but they are designed for all people, they are not specific to weight loss surgery patients. The PsyBari questionnaire is specific ONLY to weight loss surgery patients and it is the only such questionnaire on the market.
We are targeting mental health providers (i.e. psychologists, psychiatrists, clinically licensed social workers), weight loss surgeons and nurses. Our customers are primarily clinical in their education and work strictly with patients who are 100lbs (~45kg) overweight.
This audience is primarily motivated by helping patients make it to surgery (many patients currently do not so we want MORE patients to make it to surgery) with a successful outcome.
It is important to convey the concept that PsyBari will help MORE patients make it to surgery and be successful than without PsyBari.
We need a homepage which has room to give a VERY BRIEF overview of the purpose of this test. Please incorporate the colors of the logo. The homepage should focus on the concept of success and health. To the best of your ability, remember we are specifically targeting surgeons and psychologists who work strictly with weight loss surgery patients. These patients are at least 100 lbs (~45 kg) overweight. So the concept we want to convey is that using the "PsyBari" test/questionnaire will help ensure more patients have a successful surgery.
Since most of the site will be a test, the template for the interior pages of the site can be VERY simple, The logo and menu options should go across the top of the page while the rest is left blank as real estate for us to administer the test and display reports.
This is pretty much explained in the "Requirements" section. Do not hesitate to post any questions you have, I will respond immediately.
I have attached screenshots of the logo and the interior page. Please note there are two logos. One is green and orange, the other is blue and orange. Please choose whichever you prefer for your design as we are open to either color scheme. For the interior page, please pay no attention to the colors or anything like that - this is just to give you a feel for how the test will be presented. If you have a better suggestion than this format, by all means please let me know.
None at this time.

220.127.116.11 Upper-tropospheric and lower-stratospheric water vapour
Recently assessed increases in lower stratospheric water vapour mixing ratio over the last few decades are likely to have caused a decrease in stratospheric temperatures by an amount comparable to that produced by ozone decreases (Forster and Shine, 1999; Smith et al., 2001) (see lower-stratospheric temperature trends in Section 2.2.3). These changes also impact on ozone chemistry (Chapter 4) and on radiative forcing of the atmosphere (Chapters 6 and 7). Data from over twenty-five instruments that measure water vapour concentration and relative humidity in the upper troposphere and stratosphere were recently compared and assessed in the international SPARC study (Kley et al., 2000). The purpose of the study, which included measurements made by both in situ and remote sensing techniques utilising balloons, aircraft and satellites, was to determine the data quality and to estimate the magnitude of any trends. The study showed that some stratospheric instruments have sampled over a long enough period that several overlapping time-series of intermediate length (8 to 15 years) can be used to help evaluate stratospheric changes. A reasonable degree of consistency was found among strato-spheric measurements made from near the tropopause up to as high as 50 km (about 1 hPa). Most observations were within ±10% of the grand mean of all measurements to which they were compared.
Accurate balloon observations of lower-stratospheric water vapour are available from 1964 to 1976 over Washington, D.C. and from 1980 to present over Boulder, Colorado, USA (e.g., Mastenbrook, 1968; Harries, 1976; Mastenbrook and Oltmans, 1983; Oltmans and Hofmann, 1995). The SPARC study shows that these point measurements are nevertheless representative of global stratospheric conditions above about 18 to 20 km, but not of the lowest stratosphere where there can be significant regional and seasonal changes. A positive lower stratosphere trend of about 1 to 1.5%/year in specific humidity (about 0.04 ppm/year) since the mid-1960s is indicated by the balloon data (Oltmans et al., 2000). The increase was not monotonic but showed several rapid rises with plateaux in between. Even though the recent satellite record is relatively short, these measurements have revealed changes of the same character. The satellite results show a spatial pattern of trends in the lower stratosphere, and suggest a slowing in the positive trend after 1996 (Smith et al., 2000). Although not definitive, these observations are consistent in suggesting that lower-stratospheric water vapour has increased globally on average at about 1%/year over at least the past forty years, but at a variable rate.
Although radiosondes have made observations of water vapour in the upper troposphere (i.e., above 500 hPa) since the 1950s, these observations have suffered from instrumental errors (Elliott and Gaffen, 1991). Peixoto and Oort (1996) have re-examined these observations for the period 1974 to 1988 and found large trends in upper-tropospheric humidity at the 300 hPa level. They concluded that these trends were unrealistically large and were likely to be due to instrument changes. Satellite observations of upper-tropospheric humidity (UTH) measurements made by TOVS (Television infrared observation satellite Operational Vertical Sounder) since 1979, and representative of a deep layer between 500 to 200 hPa, show very large interannual variability (Bates et al., 1996). The SPARC assessment of these observations (Kley et al., 2000) indicated that they were of sufficient quality for trend analyses. The SPARC study and an analysis by Bates and Jackson (2001) show large regional trends that are attributed to circulation changes associated with ENSO, decadal variability over equatorial Africa, and decadal variability of the Arctic Oscillation (see Section 2.6). Statistically significant positive trends of 0.1%/year are found for 10°N to 10°S, and a non-significant trend of 0.04%/year for 60°N to 60°S, but this includes a component negative trend of –0.1%/year for 30oS to 60oS. The trends in large zonal bands tend to be residuals from cancellations in sign and magnitude of much larger regional trends. These UTH trends should be treated with caution especially in the deep tropics because of significant interannual variability and persistence, both of which hamper trend detection.
In summary, in situ and radiosonde measurements tend to show increasing water vapour in the lower troposphere and near the surface, though this is not seen everywhere, and data quality is still an issue. The longer, more reliable data sets suggest multi-decadal increases in atmospheric water vapour of several per cent per decade over regions of the Northern Hemisphere. New analyses of balloon and satellite records indicate that strato-spheric water vapour above 18 km shows an increase of about 1%/year for the period 1981 to 2000 but with a slowing of the positive trend after 1996. Satellite observations of upper-tropo-spheric humidity from 1980 to 1997 show statistically significant positive trends of 0.1%/year for the zone 10°N to 10°S.

Colorado House members vote party line on debt ceiling hike
WASHINGTON — Colorado's four House Republicans voted against increasing the nation's borrowing authority, saying the measure did not include any provisions to lower the nation's debt.
"I voted no because any increase in the debt ceiling should include provisions that reduce our deficits over time and gives us a path forward that brings down our nation's debt," said Rep. Mike Coffman, a Republican from Aurora, in a statement.
Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Yuma, agreed.
"President Obama and Majority Leader Reid have not addressed our government spending problem in a serious fashion," he said, in a statement.
Fewer than 40 Republicans voted to support the debt ceiling hike in the House.
Colorado's three House Democrats, Reps. Diana DeGette, Ed Perlmutter and Jared Polis, all voted to support the debt ceiling increase, which means the government can now borrow enough money to pay its bills for the next year.
The measure heads to the Senate tomorrow, where it is expected to pass.

Making Denver streets safer for bicyclists, pedestrians
By Susan Shepherd and Debbie Ortega
Guest Commentary
As a society, our public spaces are a reflection of who we are. They tell the story of how we care for our most vulnerable and demonstrate the value we place on the experiences that occur while walking along our streets or sipping a cup of coffee on a sidewalk café. The places that we share with each other can be great and they can be inspiring, but these same opportunities for greatness can also be lost when our public places are designed primarily for cars and not people.
The national "complete street"s movement seeks to address this very problem and advocates that streets be designed for the safety of all users — pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and motorists, which becomes especially important as more and more people are walking and biking to their destinations.
As members of the Denver City Council, we take this responsibility very seriously, a fact demonstrated by our recent vote to nominate bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure one of our top budget priorities for 2014.
With this decision, we are thinking about the diverse residents and visitors to the Mile High City: the student who is putting himself through school by serving food at a local restaurant, wants to live in the city, and could afford it if he gave up his car, but feels alternative transportation options are too limited to make that choice.

Australia – the fifth and smallest continent at the beginning of the 1920s. The economic crisis is yet to come – Australia is booming. Industrial modernisation and development are pursued with vigour to help the economy "down under" progress. At the same time, the government is arranging for countless National Parks to be set up and are initiating numerous projects to support the natural environment. Every player leads a troop of rangers who have been assigned the task, by the government, of carrying out various conservation and industrialisation projects.The most successful player wins the game.


text: Scott Burgess, the most cuddly of auto critics over at the Detroit News has come up with an interesting, one-man-focus-group pseudo-review of the best parts of cars this year. Deftly sidestepping the realities of engineering, Burgess asks for somebody, anybody to put parts of some of the most dissimilar cars around into a Frankenstein's monster of platform prostitution. Take the brain from Ford's Sync System and put it into an Audi R8 body, bring in a heart from GM (what?!) and eyes from Mercedes... okay that's where our body parts/car parts metaphor runs out, but it's still madness, madness we say! Mwah ha ha ha ha! We're totally loving the diabolicalness of it all.[detnews.com]

Summer, summer… The season, when the male gaze is not divorced from women's bodies on the beach. So, dear women, it is coming the time of sensual pleasures. Be irresistible – be the queen of the beach! And for this it is necessary to choose a swimsuit. Fashion is cyclical; so many swimsuit models do not lose their relevance for several seasons. For this reason, the preparation for the opening of the swimming time you may start beforehand– during the sales of the previous summer collections. Most important is to be consistent in your acquisitions.
Beautiful swimsuit is a number 1 item in the wardrobe of a girl who wants to have a good rest at the seaside resorts of the world. According to the creative director's opinion of the American brand Longitude, modern fashionista should have in the arsenal at least three different swimsuit.
The first of them is created for the pool, and it is solid and looks like sports. The second one - bikini, designed for swimming in the sea and sunbathing on its shore. And the third is fused with a deep V-neck - is required for beach parties or romantic twosome.
Fashion plus size swimwear 2014, proposed by Longitude brand - is a triumph of taste, rainbow colors and the abundance of prints. In a kaleidoscope of brilliant solutions you certainly will discover its "troika", which will attract admiring glances from men and bringing you the sweet compliments.
Let's look at the catalog and look at the new resort collection for overweight women by Longitude. What swimwear do the designers Longitude offer in upcoming summer? We suggest you consider the hottest styles of the upcoming season. So collect your beach bag and go.
Longitude swimwear summer 2014 is bright and colorful. They will help you to cheer up and stand out from the crowd on the beach. Particularly noteworthy fashion swimwear with cutouts. Such original cutouts may be different, both large and small. To create these models, designers of Longitude have selected bold colors.
One piece plus size swimwear Longitude 2014 is made in the style of minimalism. However, they are painted in provocative and bold colors. Typically, it is a sleek model with a hint of sporty style or model with printed patterns. One piece swimwear stands between the classical models and modern fashion trends. They shy faces startling.
Summer 2014 swimwear Longitude with printed patterns are quite intriguing silhouettes. Sometimes printed patterns intersect with cutouts, creating a complex and interesting composition.
Separate plus size swimwear Longitude 2014 is presented in a wide range of styles. This and all your favorite bikini and bando, and many others. It is very important to choose the correct color of swimsuit.
The main favorite of the upcoming season is a white swimsuit that just fit perfectly with tanned skin, even to a lady of magnificent forms. However, designers of Longitude are not limited to only one in white. In the upcoming season you may choose colors such as gray, blue, bright colors, neon (trendy in the upcoming season).
Lovers of classical Longitude may offer black swimsuit that may be chosen both by the slim and overweight women as well. In addition, the actual gold embroidery. For example, you may choose swimwear Bandeau summer 2014, decorated with gold embroidery. In this dress, you'll look just gorgeous.
If you cannot decide one piece or separate models you choose, we suggest you to pay attention on the plus size swimwear Longitude tankini summer 2014. Such models represent a middle ground between the confluent and separate bathing suits.
If you are looking for something unusual, then pay attention to the retro style of the brand or model of Longitude, decorated with crystals. Retro style are all sorts of ruffles that help us to go back a few decades ago, and feel like a real beauty of the past.
Typically, these swimsuits are a choice of gentle and romantic representatives of the beautiful half of humanity. Swimwear, richly decorated with crystals, cannot but attract attention. Crystals, shimmering in the sun, just dazzle others with their brilliance. Add accessories to this along, and you become a real queen of the beach.Show products

Algebra Tutor Coral Springs Florida
Certified Algebra Tutor Coral Springs Florida. Find Affordable Tutoring for elementary school, middle school, high school and college.
What is this material exactly? If the user takes too long to answer, the number line animates itself to help the user get to the answer. Involve your child in your tutoring decision. Holiday courses at Fruition will lead to a confident start to the new school year and will decrease any anxiety caused by worrying about the difficult schoolwork with help of math tutor that is coming next year. Always remind your child not to give up on math problems, but to make sure to go back to them when the other ones are completed. Moreover, creating an open atmosphere so that the student can willingly ask questions is vital in establishing a good math tutor/student relationship. There need to be no issues regarding the math classes on geometry. The goal of such a test is to find out where you are, what subject help is needed in the most, and to get some basic information. Those were my two favourite numbers. As a student, you can revise the various topics at any point of time. They get world class tutoring in the convenience of their home at there convenient schedule. Avoid negative personalities that will drag you down instead of working alongside of you. The hiring of the experienced tutor for your child may offer you the chance of knowing his/her abilities to grab things and work accordingly. And after so many years, the same is repeated by the teachers everywhere, except, Asia. It is important that the math tutor has professional training and expertise in the specific subject matter and grade level that the student needs to master. Some students breeze through their first 12 years of school. In the sense, they allow you a platform where you can register yourself as a writer and put in some sample pieces of your work. This will reduce your stress and also encourage you. It's a lot of tears, but many more triumphs. However these days most of the students are seen taking tutoring services for math subject. I'm only in it for the money." Another thing: If any tutor responds by saying, "I don't do quotes over the phone, until after the first session," you should respond by saying, "No quote, no green." Also, a tutor worthy of his/her salt should always have an intake meeting. You may find that tutoring to help prepare for these is a good idea. As the kids go higher in school they are required to take more and more tests. No matter what ones interests are or the species of homework helpers online a person seek, you will be able to tap in this free tutoring dick for any subject issue.How to Improve School GradesEver wondered how certain kids in the class always get a strong A in every open? Another math trick I learned was with my 9 timetables. I would advise, instead, seeking some help for him or her. Support: Let your child know that you are there.

Freelance writer and activist Suey Park, who started the #NotYourAsianSidekick trend, created a new hashtag trending on Twitter just in time for Valentine's Day: #ActivistPickupLines.
Buzzfeed of course is on the case, and they report that Park, 23, was inspired to create the hashtag by a student who told her, "I'm down for the struggle and the snuggle."
The hashtag is still trending now, and though not all of them are gold, you can see a lot of them here.

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!
Quick update August 2014
Still alive. Still at Skytap. Celebrating 5th anniversary with girlfriend. Working on comics. Things are going really, really well — better than I could have dreamed just a couple of years ago. I have a lot to be thankful for.
GoDaddy spam filtering
GoDaddy sent out a notification about a critical upgrade for WordPress, so I'm taking a moment to update a few things — replace the Twitter widget, look sadly at the generic site theme and lack of activity. I'm looking at other hosting providers again.
I do not get a lot of spam. GoDaddy apparently has two different spam filters in place; one is user-configurable, one is not. The configurable one is set to mark suspected junk mail with "SPAM" in the subject line. It likes to mark Twitter notifications and GoDaddy billing statements as junk mail — slightly dense but mostly harmless.
The other spam filter is upstream and is not configurable; it automatically notifies the sender that the email was undeliverable. Although this shields users from an endless deluge of junk mail, it also discards legitimate email without the user's knowledge. For example, the upstream server decided that Twitter notifications for one of my other accounts were spam, possibly because it goes to the catch-all account instead of the main address.
Unfortunately, the billing statements get through the upstream filter just fine.
Crash Blossom
I published my first comic last year. Crash Blossom: Monorail was released at the Jet City Comic Show on September 22, 2012.
And by "published" I mean a limited run of 40 copies, hand-folded by the author. "Crash Blossom" was supposed to be an anthology, but as it turns out there were only two of us who made the deadline, and I was absolutely determined to get something in print.
The artwork is not beautiful. I redid most of it several times, because every time I thought it was finished, my skill level would double and I'd want to throw the old crap away and replace it with slightly less crappy crap. The writing was generally more well received.
This was my first comics project in my adult life, and despite how amateurish it looks now, it was my absolute best, and I'm proud of it.
Annual blog post 2013
Life is still going pretty well. Thankful for that.
Took down a bunch of older blog posts. A lot of them were too candid, or lame, or uninformed comments on current events. That's what microblogging is for.
Changed jobs
The following had been sitting in my drafts folder since March 2012.
After 19 months at Lockerz, I've made the jump to another Seattle startup called Skytap. They provide "cloud automation solutions," basically a tool that allows you to create weather on the fly. 😉 Ahh, too tired to explain cloud computing.
I was excited about the job for a few reasons:
- New technology: Ruby on Rails, backbone.js
- Better setup for front-end development … mock services, and using our own tools to create test environments. For example, I can fire up IE6 in a virtual machine in the cloud, connect to the VPN, and view the Rails site on my own desktop. Top that.
- Better planning. We typically do one release per month.
Still alive
Yep. Unlike some people, I am still alive as of this writing. Also, I finished the single-player campaign in Portal 2. The game itself felt too short, even at more than double the length of the original; I don't think they could have made it long enough to do it justice. The ending was suitably weird, even compared to the original. I won't link to it here due to massive spoilers (you can find it on YouTube).
Some backstory can be found in this comic about Doug Rattmann, the delusional Aperture Science engineer who survived the events surrounding GLaDOS' activation.
EDIT: Okay, okay. Since those last two links at Combine OverWiki also contain lots of spoilers, here is the Portal 2 ending video. But it will make absolutely no sense if you haven't played at least through Chapter 5 of the game.
Fan Week is coming
When I was interviewing at Amazon, my manager-to-be explained that nobody had air conditioners here in Seattle, because it was only hot enough to justify owning one for about one week during the year. Coming from Florida as he had, this was no summer at all.
The weather here did make a difference in my relocation from California. I spent my childhood in the midwest, and while I don't miss the hot sticky summers, I liked the summer rain. I missed the change in the air, the thunder rolling across the fields, and the way everything smelled after it was over.[1]
My first Fan Week was in 2006. It was taking a long time to unpack my things, so I had the fan but not the cover. The first time I ran it, the cord from the venetian blinds got caught in the blades. Etc.
I may never get lost again
Google Maps street level views are the greatest thing since sliced bread. All I have to do is drop the little dude icon in the middle of the freeway and it shows exactly what the visual landmarks are.
Argh!! I just missed the offramp! This is like the 3rd time!!
Are you even listening?

Strawberry shortcake is one of my favorite desserts, but assembly and serving of the traditional cakes and piles of berries and cream for each individual can be daunting. This Strawberry Shortcake Cake makes everything much more simple. Pioneer Woman's recipes are lovely, with perfect photographs and easy steps. Bake this cake and relish the last bit of summer.

ACC Summer Recess: Wake Forest Demon DeaconsPosted by KCarpenter on July 18th, 2012
Over the next four weeks we'll be taking a step back and looking at each team in the ACC to assess where each program — and the conference as a whole — stands before we totally turn our attention to the 2013-14 season later this fall. Today's target: Wake Forest.
Where They Stand Now
It's a rare thing when you can be tied for last place in the conference and still be hailed for taking a big step forward. Wake Forest went 4-12 in in league play, part of the four-way tie at the bottom, yet last season can't be rated all that poorly. When you go from 1-15 to 4-12, it's certainly a nice step forward, but it's also a clear sign that you are being graded on a curve. Wake Forest hoops got a lot better last season, but make no mistake: This team is still far from good.
What's the best way to describe the state of this program? The highlight of the Demon Deacons' last season is debatable: It's either a three-point home win over Virginia Tech (a team that finished below WFU in the conference standings) or a one-point home win over Yale (who had a great year… for Yale). There wasn't a lot to cheer about this season, but the step away from the soul-crushing precipice of the 2011-12 season is enough to chalk up last year as an incredibly mild success.
Outside of team highlights, the past season was also a remarkable showcase for C.J. Harris, who had a terrific year shooting the ball from distance. Harris combined with Travis McKie formed one of the deadliest scoring tandems in the conference. Of course, it ended up not mattering too much, but it was one sign of genuine hope for a program that has fallen on lean times.

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 Greenville 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 Greenville 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 Greenville 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 Greenville 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.

The papaya fruit is one of Mother Nature's gifts to the human kind. The fruit is a potent source of powerful antioxidants, Vitamins A, E, K, and C, niacin, potassium, magnesium, carotene, fiber, proteins, and most importantly enzyme papain. Every part of the papaya fruit has its benefits to the human body and skin.
Some of the health benefits of papaya to the human skin include:
1. Improves Skin Complexion
The papaya fruit is rich in papain, an enzyme with natural bleaching properties. Applying raw papaya juice on your skin therefore helps brighten your skin complexion naturally. In addition to this, the fruit contains powerful antioxidants and vitamins that help cleanse skin cells while protecting them from sun damage as well.
2. Keeps the Skin Hydrated
The soft vitamin-rich papaya pulp is a rich source of water for your skin. Having a slice of a ripe papaya, therefore, helps keep the skin moisturized, smooth, and soft throughout the say. You can also blend the pulp then use it as a face mask to improve skin hydration as well.
3. Anti-Aging Properties
The vitamins A, E, K, and C, and alpha hydroxy acids found in papaya fruits help cleanse skin cells and significantly slow down the aging process. The vitamins and antioxidants fight free radicals and toxins that contribute to the development of fine lines, wrinkles, and other aging signs in men. Alpha hydroxyl acids act on dead skin cells thus promoting increased cell regeneration and growth.
4. Reduces Pimples and Acne
The skin cleansing properties of papain help get rid of free radicals and sebum from clogged pores. The enzyme is an excellent exfoliator that helps remove dead skin cells thus promoting fresh skin growth.
5. Acts on Skin Spots
Thanks to the massive presence of the papain enzyme, you can use a raw papaya as a face mask to get rid of dark spots and other skin blemishes. You will be amazed at how effective papain is on acne spots, black and brown spots.
6. Treats Crow's Feet and Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles are among the initial signs of aging on most people. Using papaya can however help take care of all these, including crow's feet around your eyes, forehead, and the mouth. The heavy presence of Vitamin C and other potent antioxidants is what makes papaya as effective in treating these skin conditions.
7. Rebuilds Cracked Heels
Thanks to the deep moisturizing effects of a ripe papaya, you can use the fruit to help rebuild cracked skin and heels. Say goodbye to peeling skin, flaky patches, and heel cracks by eating and using papaya products.
8. Nourishes Hair
The heavy presence of essential vitamins, minerals and enzymes make papaya an excellent remedy for dry and split hair. Having a slice of ripe papaya also has remarkable effects on your hair. Raw papaya contains the highest concentration of papain, the enzyme responsible for unclogging clogged pores and hair follicles.
9. Get Rid of Facial Hair
Facial hair can be unsightly especially on women. You can however use papain to lighten the unwanted hair, or get rid of the same naturally. The enzyme weakens hair follicles hence preventing regrowth of the same.
10. Control Dandruff
Papaya contains enzymes powerful enough to prevent the buildup of impurities and oil on the scalp. You can therefore use papaya products to control and treat dandruff. All you need to do is blend a ripe papaya then apply the mask on your hair and the face. Rinse it off with cold water after 30 minutes. Repeat this every day for at least 2 weeks.

Here are some blurbs from stars that did not make it to the print version of the interview, but were too good not to publish.
Jess Walton (Jill Abbott, The Young and the Restless), pictured, on what she likes best about Jill: "I think it's the humor, the way she'd call Katherine and old trout, her sarcastic tongue with Esther, and the strength that she never does stay down for long. I think people like that. I used to have women come up to me and tell me that they were trying to raise their daughters just like Jill. Now, of course, I thought that was going a little far, but I appreciated the sentiment and their love of the character."
David Charvet (ex-Craig Field, Melrose Place) on competing on The Superstars, which premieres June 23: "Without giving too much away, there were a lot of interesting personalities on the show. Terrell Owens is just a ball. He is so much fun and so funny and just so sarcastic. He and (NBA star) Robert Horry would go back and forth. There were some events where we thought these guys were gonna whip our butts, but a lot of the celebrities held their own. It wasn't all about physical challenges; it was also about using your head and figuring out a strategy with your partner. It was not just about being physical, but about being intelligent and just going for it."
JoAnna Garcia (Megan Smith, Privileged) on her co-stars: "Lucy Hale (Rose) and Ashley Newbrough (Sage) are so good and so sweet and so driven. I couldn't be more proud to work with them. They bring the levity to their characters as actors, because that's how good they are. But then the heart of their characters is really what they are as people. It's a nice combination of what these women are real life.
"With Laurel, Anne Archer's character, what is so special is her strength and determination, and because of those things you see what that has afforded her. But then she plays this vulnerability that is just so heartbreaking and so touching. She is just a very real and a very powerful woman. She fights the stereotypes and isn't afraid to make the tough decisions. But at the end of the day, she is really human. I couldn't think more of Anne as a human being, and as an actress, I am just in awe of her."
Bobbie Eakes (Krystal Carey, All My Children) on her favorite part of performing with the Divas of Daytime: "When you get a chance to do something you are proud of, it is very rewarding artistically — plus we have a good time with each other. The rehearsals are almost just as fun as the performances. Anything we want to do is on the table. It's an opportunity to pull songs out of your repertoire that you've always wanted to do. We also experiment with doing songs differently."
Bobbie also spoke about performing with her sisters when they were younger: "My sisters and I had an amateur group where we started singing in the neighborhood. And then it became semiprofessional as we became older. I'm really the only one who took it to this level, although a couple of my sisters also have been a part of different local groups in their different towns. All five of us were singers growing up."

When I was first invited to this forum, I was assured that the posts here would be more cordial than on photo.net. I'm signing off as the stuff here is just as bad or worst than photo.net.
See you guys around. Jorge, keep up the good fight.

See you guys around. Jorge, keep up the good fight.
Hate to see you leave Gene, hopefully you reconsider in the future but I understand.
How terribly sad that you appear to regard it as a battle or a war instead of an exciting and creative process in which there is something new to explore each day
"Nick Shay, is an expert in waste management. He confronts the basic crisis of our disposable consumer economy: what to do with the inexhaustible mountains of toxic garbage generated every day. Nick believes that "waste is a religious thing. We entomb contaminated waste with a sense of reverence and dread. It is necessary to respect what we discard." Although his job forces him to consider the collective refuse of American culture, the great impasto that binds us all together as a nation, Nick's upbringing still shapes his approach to the problem. "The Jesuits taught me to examine things for second meanings and deeper connections. Were they thinking about waste? We were waste managers, waste giants, we processed universal waste." Again speaking of the Disneyland that is America, Baudrillard discovers "a space of the regeneration of the imaginary as waste-treatment plants are elsewhere, and even here. Everywhere today one must recycle waste, and the dreams, the phantasms, the historical, fairylike, legendary imaginary of children and adults is a waste product, the first great toxic excrement of a hyperreal civilization." Whereas Jack Gladney in White Noise sought through the superabundance of noise for hidden messages, scraps of meaning, Nick Shay sifts through the mountainous remains of American culture for a few slips of sublime dream-life that might give his existence meaning. "
I have no intention of signing off. I find the forum very often interesting and informative. I will continue to open it up with anticipation.
I have a few times, however, wished that some participants found it possible to disagree without being disagreeable.
Yeah, the A vs D bit is kinda old. Guess my "Itch and Scratchy" spoof wasn't enough to point out how much it sounds like a scratched-up record.
I was hoping to see a "Contact Print vs Enlarger" debate myself.
Have fun and print a lot! If you ever scan some of your prints, please be sure to let us know. I'd like to see some of them.
"It's the way to educate your eyes. Stare. Pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long." - Walker Evans
I agree with Brian in regards the "kinda old" comment. I'd say the subject has been pretty fully debated and we can just look it up in the archives (see the posting guidelines--please!) and hopefully avoid more threads on which is better. I like the equipment and technique posts, whether trad or digital, but endless, repetitive vituperation is tiresome.
...any man's death diminishes me..."
I gravitated here because I became a 4x5 hobbyist a while ago. And I have to say I enjoy the philosophical discussions, the pondering of imponderables, and the occasional noble slaying of dragons. Those threads can be intoxicating, like beer, and sometimes you pipe in because you can't help yourself, and you get slammed as a dumb ass or (worse) shunned like you sat down at the wrong lunch table in the high school cafeteria.
Yes, passions run high at times, and some people can't resist pushing other people's buttons. But, like Paddy suggests, I find nuggets of wisdom here and there, and always a prevailing sense of humor.
I think I might stumble over to the tavern now...
If your sensibilities are offended by a thread and you find that its level of cordiality isn't up to your standards just stop reading the thread. It's fairly simple .
Brian Ellis
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
I just ignore threads that annoy or bore me. I think we're better off having too many opinions than too few.
As soon as I see certain people get involved in a post, I find no redemming value for a return visit. it goes into the "stay away" category. Rather sad.
In spite of this I have had the opportunity to meet many humble, gracious, and respectful LF folks here and for that I am truly blessed.

My studio redo is finally taking shape! We've got just about all of the wallpaper off in the dining room, I've begun painting furniture, and I'm starting on the window treatments. It's been a slow process, due to the limited about of time we've been able to work on it. But, if all goes well, I hope it will be finished this weekend. I can't wait, and I think it's going to be really fun when it's finished. Here are some pictures of the works in progress.
The living room is also getting a bit of make-over as well. Our house is sort of a shot-gun style house, and the studio (aka dining room) is adjacent to the living room, with a set of pocket doors separating them. The doors remain open all of the time, well, except when Aidan and Olivia pretend they're in a barn and need to close the barn doors, so it kind of feels like the two are actually one big room. So, I decided that it would be nice if their decor blended.
We bought a new red couch from Ikea, and I'm making a bunch of ruffled pillows for it and the two leather chairs in the living room. My desk chair will also get one.
You can see that the kids, and the dog, are big fans of the new couch and pillows.
I'm making new window treatments for both rooms (and the kitchen, but that's another post!), and I'm painting some of the furniture, too. I never thought I would, but I am painting my antique dining room set, part of which has been used for fabric storage for the last year or so. It's a nice set, but not too nice, and it was so dark, and just not my taste. We didn't spend too much on it, and it was never my favorite set.
Please excuse the poor photos...I had to use my flash since it was about midnight when this was taken.
But oh, how I love it now that it's Spiny Sea Urchin green, which is on the verge of chartreuse, and seriously one of my all-time favorite paint colors. My tv cabinet in the living room, which began it's life as a china cabinet, and was given to me by my grandparents, is also the same color now. It's really cute. My window treatments are going to be made out of Sandi Henderson's Vintage Dots in Breeze, with a little bit of Amy Butler's brand new Bliss Bouquet in the studio. There will be a lot of fun colors, which I think will be great sources of inspiration to me.
I promise I'll post pictures of the all of the finished projects once they're finished!

In civil lawsuits, people frequently have their depositions taken. A deposition is a question and answer session under oath between a witness and at least one attorney. When the witness is testifying on behalf of one party, either the plaintiff or the defendant, Find The Best Lawyer in Johannesburg south the opposing party's attorney will do most of the questioning. Usually, the lawyers for all parties are in the room, although not all of the attorneys present choose to ask questions. There is usually a court reporter present taking down what everyone says on a stenotype machine. There are many reasons for lawyers to take legal depositions.
Here are just a few. Rules The most prominent reason someone has to give a deposition is because a lawyer is not allowed to simply call up a witness for the other side and start asking questions. In fact, Find The Best Lawyer they are not allowed to speak to them about the case when that person has been designated as a witness for another party. Instead, it must be done in a formal setting. The witness is usually subpoenaed and the lawyer that has designated that person as a witness will usually be present.Information When an attorney believes someone has information that will lead to discoverable evidence in a civil case, they are allowed to take their deposition.
The witness is required by law to cooperate and answer fully and honestly any of the proper questions asked by the lawyers. Oftentimes, the lawyer may not know all of the important facts of the case. There may be people, objective third parties, who witnessed a car accident or that have factual information that is crucial to the case. Learning what they know about it may shed light on the case before it goes to court. This prevents one side from springing surprises on the other during trial.Intimidation On rare occasions, an attorney will take the deposition of a witness for the other side to intimidate or make the person nervous.
United States Attorney
This is more common in domestic dispute matters, such as child custody or divorce cases. It also happens more often to the plaintiff, How Do I Find A Good Lawyer In My Area the party bringing the lawsuit. This is sometimes done to make sure the witness knows the lawyer means business. Playing hardball in a deposition is what happens when the attorney is purposefully trying to make the witness uncomfortable. This may be done to make sure they tell the truth and to find out if the person will drop the case, rather than have to go through similar questioning in court, as well if the case goes to trial.

Advice from business attorneys in MichiganThe relationship between an attorney and a client is a unique one based on facts and information a client may not let many other people be privy to in normal circumstances. A client has a privileged relationship with his or her lawyer, meaning the information shared between them remains confidential and that both parties can choose which elements of the information shall be kept private and which may be disclosed in public.While attorney-client privilege is universally understood, certain types of lawyers are imposed with exceptions to this privilege based on their practice focus within the law. Transactional attorneys have a different type of attorney-client privilege than most lawyers and the extent of the confidentiality privilege to which they are entitled depends upon the nature of the services they provide to a business and the primary purpose of their services. What affects the confidentiality privilege of transactional attorneys?The type of services provided by a transactional lawyer to a company ranges depending on the company's needs. Services may range from being advisory and consultatory in nature, as in business planning and analyzing, to strict legal representation, as in business dispute litigation.If a business attorney is analyzing or advising on business strategy, managing transactions, or providing business consultations on maximizing assets without providing legal representation for a business, he or she is not entitled to attorney-client privilege. As such, he or she is not required to keep information shared by the client confidential.If a transactional attorney is managing or negotiating a business transaction in which legal issues are involved, he or she is serving as a legal representative for the company. He or she is consequently permitted to employ the confidentiality privilege.Why attorney-client privilege mattersThe confidentiality privilege between a lawyer and their client may not seem significant when your company hires a business law attorney to aid in business transactions, help close deals, and learn options for maximizing company assets. However, if a business dispute should happen to arise during or after a business transaction in which your lawyer was involved and he or she did not provide legal representation in his or her services, the information previously shared with the lawyer is not protected by this privilege and can be shared with the other entity involved in the business dispute. If the other side in the dispute attempts to learn the strategies and interactions of your company through an attorney who is not entitled to attorney-client privilege, this lack of confidentiality can serve as a threat to your business. Under business law, certain aspects of your case are not protected by attorney-client privilege.

Family law cases require a special type of attorney to handle them. They usually involve the unhappy conclusion to a long-term relationship. The personal matters of divorce, alimony, child support and child custody require an understanding lawyer who is also a shrewd negotiator. Legal matters in the District of Columbia are unique compared to other places in the United States, because technically, DC is not a state. This federal jurisdiction requires a special license to practice and has its own special laws.
When two people can no longer live together as husband and wife in marriage, it takes the skill and know-how of an experience DC divorce lawyer to handle the case. The terms of separation are just the beginning. Filing the proper paperwork and following the required guidelines is crucial to being legally divorced in the Nation's Capital. It is important to have a lawyer that is well-versed in divorce matters who can negotiate a fair division of assets, including marital property and debts. While some couples want a quick and easy resolution, others spend as much time and energy arguing about their divorce as humanly possible. The sooner both parties find closure, the sooner they can both move on with their lives. A skilled DC divorce attorney can help the process move along as swiftly and smoothly as possible, regardless of the circumstances.
Child Custody
One of the most difficult things about a relationship ending is that children are often caught in the middle. It is difficult to determine fair custody, because most parent feel as if they can never spend enough time with their children. Not all domestic situations are ideal for children, and may require one parent to handle full custody. Some living arrangements take a great deal of negotiating and maneuvering over logistics before a child custody situation that works reasonably well for everyone involved can be reached.
Child Support & Alimony
It is always easier for several people to survive financially under one roof than in two separate households. Finding the right balance under the DC child support and alimony laws, combined with the agreement of both parties as to which expenses are necessary and reasonable, can be very difficult. It takes a savvy and knowledgeable DC child support attorney to help the parties reach a satisfactory plan. The rights of both parents and the children should be considered. The financial guidelines suggested by the law may set some parameters, but each case must be carefully considered and worked out by the legal teams handling the case. The best lawyer is one that will fight for their clients' rights while trying to help establish a plan that is fair to all parties.

So y'all voted for the letter N and The National Exemplar won. It's such a big fancy name - I admit - I was a little intimidated. It's in historic Mariemont - which is such a pretty neighborhood. Larry and I always joke that even in the dead of winter when our neighborhood hasn't seen a plow in a month - places like Mariemont and Indian Hill still have daisies blooming and not a speck of snow on the road. Bastards!
hotel on the square. We decided to go for a Sunday brunch rather than dinner for cost savings.
First Watch. Our friend thought that was what he heard and the waiter confirmed it. Who knew?!
I got the Bacado omelette (bacon, avocado and melted monterey jack cheese, topped with sour cream. Served with a side of salsa. $7.99) It came with potatoes and an english muffin. It was okay. I really like omelettes and was really excited about it - but in the end - it didn't have much flavor. I liked it okay and I ate it - but nothing too outstanding here.
Why Should You Go? Well our friends really enjoyed it - Larry and I both thought it was fine. I think if we were in the neighborhood again - we'd likely try Dilly Cafe since we haven't been there yet. Also - on a Sunday - it's busy - fyi. We planned on meeting at 1pm but got there 15 minutes early - and there was a 15 minute wait. (good timing!) So if you're going at a brunch-y time - plan ahead - they do NOT take reservations.
One more thing to note - while service was prompt - our server was a bit overzealous. He took everybody's plates before they were really finished. Larry hadn't even eaten his fruit yet and they snatched it away. It wasn't like we'd been there for 2 hours chatting away and using up his table - we were in and out in an hour and there wasn't a line waiting to be seated.

Apparently, this video of a video shows a Lexus LFA kind of easing its way around the Nürburgring in 7:22 ahead of the ADAC 24-hour race this past weekend. That's just over a tenth of a second slower than a Corvette Z06. Not bad for a warmup lap.
The video, which features the hands-and-feetwork of Gazoo Racing's Akira Iida, was part of a display shown to N-ring 24 visitors. The LFA in question, like the one at the display, was fitted with the Nürburgring package, which includes 10 more horsepower than standard, quicker shift calibration and aero tweaks — a $75,000 option.
Apparently, this was just an exhibition lap to coincide with the endurance race — either that or the day's rain put the kibosh on their plans for a full-speed lap. Either way, it's a teaser for a full-speed run expected before the year's end. Anyone care to bet how many seconds they left on the table?

I believe the election is coming soon.
No, it's not about the pay rise for civil servants that our generous government announced earlier this week. I'm talking about potholes!
This morning, while on my way to work, the potholes were still there as usual along the road from Damansara Jaya to Kayu Ara, through the Sony HQ until Kota Damansara. Well, potholes are basically everywhere here in Petaling Jaya.
Then in the late evening on my way back from work, all the potholes were gone! Wow! The people at the Works Ministry must have finally woke up from their sleep. By the way, let me share something with you. The last time I saw our Mr Works Minister taking his nap (no joke!) was during my school's rombongan trip to the Parliament when I was in Form 5.
So the potholes were gone but they will be back. Yes, the potholes will most likely be back in two or three weeks from now. I think the Works Ministry should check on the formula and technique they used to patch the potholes. The quality of the patching job is really bad and requires lots of rework. For example, they keep patching the same pothole in front of SK Damansara Utama and the one on the way to Seapark from SS2.

Good morning.
I'm having some trouble with my log and echo sounder - fitted by the previous owner. The echo sounder appears to be troubled by air bubbles running over the hull surface under way - it reads perfectly well on the mooring, but has intermittent signal loss when sailing in the river (where I really need to know the depth!). The log impeller doesn't seem to want to rotate when the boat is moving, or when the tide is running past the mooring at more than 1 kt. I have cleaned the log impeller and its shaft and I know that the bottom of the boat is clean. If I flick the impeller with the transducer removed the display gives a low speed reading, as you would expect. The transducers originally fitted to the boat (in 1980) were well aft - in the galley cupboard just forward of the companionway steps. The current ones are fitted about 2 feet forward of the aft end of the centreboard trunk and about 3 feet port of the centreline.
I would like to know where the transducers are fitted on other people's F28/30 cat ketches. I'd also welcome comments from anybody who has a F33/35 CK centreboarder on where their transducers are mounted.
Thanks for your help,

Revision as of 14:53, 27 March 2014
This article describes how to set up a mail server suitable for personal or small office use.
Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written primarily with security in mind. Developed by Timo Sirainen, Dovecot was first released in July 2002. Dovecot primarily aims to be a lightweight, fast and easy to set up open source mailserver. For more detailed information, please see the official Dovecot Wiki.
Install the packages dovecot and pam from the official repositories.
- Each mail account served by Dovecot, has a local user account defined on the server.
- The server uses PAM to authenticate the user against the local user database (/etc/passwd).
- SSL is used to encrypt the authentication password.
- The common Maildir format is used to store the mail in the user's home directory.
- A MDA has already been set up to deliver mail to the local users.
Create the SSL certificate
The dovecot package contains a script to generate the server SSL certificate.
- Copy the configuration file from the sample file:
# cp /etc/ssl/dovecot-openssl.cnf{.sample,}.
- Edit
/etc/ssl/dovecot-openssl.cnfto configure the certificate.
- Execute
# /usr/lib/dovecot/mkcert.shto generate the certificate.
The certificate/key pair is created as
/etc/ssl/certs/dovecot.pem and
PAM Authentication
- To configure PAM for dovecot, create
/etc/pam.d/dovecotwith the following content:
auth required pam_unix.so nullok account required pam_unix.so
Dovecot configuration
- Copy the dovecot.conf and conf.d/* configuration files from
# cp /usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config/dovecot.conf /etc/dovecot # cp -r /usr/share/doc/dovecot/example-config/conf.d /etc/dovecot
The default configuration is ok for most systems, but make sure to read through the configuration files to see what options are available. See the quick configuration guide and dovecot configuration for more instructions.
By default dovecot will try to detect what mail storage system is in use on the system. To use the Maildir format edit
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf to set
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir.
Sieve is a programming language that can be used to create filters for email on mail server.
- Install pigeonhole
- Add "sieve" to "protocols" in dovecot.conf (and the lines from the next points)
protocols = imap pop3 sieve
- Add minimal 80-sieve.conf
service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } service managesieve { } protocol sieve { }
- Add "sieve" to "mail_plugins" in "protocol lda" section
protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve }
- Specify sieve storage location in "plugin" section:
plugin { sieve=/var/mail/%u/dovecot.sieve sieve_dir=/var/mail/%u/sieve }
- Ensure that your MTA uses dovecot for delivery. For example: postfix's main.cf and dovecot-lda:
mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$SENDER" -a "$RECIPIENT"
Starting the server
Use the standard systemd syntax to control the
dovecot.service daemon.
# systemctl start dovecot.service
To have it start on boot
# systemctl enable dovecot.service
Generate hashes with non-default hash functions.
doveadm pw -s SHA512-CRYPT -p "superpassword"
Remember to make sure that the column in the database is large enough(you might not get a warning..)
Remember to set the password scheme in your dovecot-sql.conf file
default_pass_scheme = SHA512-CRYPT

Squeezing More Energy from the Sun
A version of this article appears in the July/August 2010 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
July 01, 2010
Scientists are figuring out how to squeeze more electricity out of PV panels. PV panels take the sun's energy and convert it into electricity. The sun's energy is abundant, but in order for solar electricity to compete with cheaper forms of electricity, such as that produced from highly polluting coal-fired power plants, PV panels have to be more efficient. And they need to be cheaper. Higher efficiency gets you more power for the same area, which saves on costs. But higher efficiency has generally meant more expensive PV modules.
