Delta Weekend 2013 #TruthBeTold
#TBT Turn Up the Heat & Lean a Helping Hand
Throughout the week, we had tables set up around campus where we collected clothing items such as hats, scarves, coats, sweaters, closed-toed shoes, gloves, etc. We also accepted monetary donations. We continued our efforts with this project by going out into the community and asking for donations and clothes. All items collected were given to The Crossing Church to give to a family in need. We raised money to purchase a heating unit for a family in need within the Kirksville community.
#TBT Don't Take it Personal
In this event, we hoped to bring forth controversial issues to the light. We opened the floor to allow students to ask and answer hot topic questions. The purpose of this event was for students to discuss topics that were sure to take them outside their comfort zone. Our main focus was to get students to listen and understand others perspectives on various topics without becoming offended.
#TBT Get Active
In this event, we wanted to provide students with an alternative method to exercising that was both fun and active. We taught and also gave individuals the opportunity to teach slides and dance routines to an audience. We know that many people have an urge to exercise, but find it so difficult to do for various reasons, so this was a fun way to willingly get people up and active.
#TBT I've Got a Testimony
Everyone has a story to tell. We held a discussion based event in a comfortable setting where we allowed students to talk about their faith. We had several questions we used to lead different discussions on the topic of faith and how it has been tested thus far as a college student. We allowed students to go in depth about their personal experiences on this topic as well.

Some time ago I saw an interesting video of a new gadget:
The WIMM One has a worthy ambition: shifting information from your smartphone screen to your wrist. The aim is to allow you to get on with life rather than pulling your phone from your pocket every thirty seconds. WIMM is a smart watch harnesses Android, a high-tech display and sensors.
The current developer kit version is targeted at developers. Commercial versions for end-consumers are expected in the coming months. For more details read WIMM One Developer Kit Review. Looks interesting based on the video and interview article.
Hy the way another interesting hacker watch product is EZ430-Chronos from Texas Instruments. I have seen this Chronos product in real life on hand of one TI field application engineer.

I must express thanks to the writer just for bailing me out of this particular dilemma. Because of surfing throughout the the web and coming across opinions which were not helpful, I believed my entire life was well over. Being alive without the presence of strategies to the problems you have resolved as a result of your entire website is a critical case, and those which could have in a negative way affected my entire career if I hadn't discovered your website. The natural talent and kindness in maneuvering every item was very useful. I'm not sure what I would have done if I had not encountered such a step like this. It's possible to at this point look forward to my future. Thanks so much for your skilled and result oriented help.WIMM One Tomi Engdahl's ePanorama blog I won't think twice to suggest your web site to any person who wants and needs guidance about this problem.

Sony SmartWatch launches, delivers 'Android power' to wrist
Have you ever wanted a watch that can communicate with your Android phone? Sony sure hopes so.
Sony today launched its SmartWatch, a timepiece for the wrist that allows owners to read text messages, social updates and e-mail, manage calls, and control music. The SmartWatch connects to an Android phone via Bluetooth in order to deliver its functionality and capture what Sony calls "Android power."
The SmartWatch might be useful for those who don't want to continuously pull their smartphone out of their pocket, but it certainly won't win a fashion contest.
The watch lets wearers read social updates, handle text messages, and manage calls directly from their wrist. It retails for $150. Sony's SmartWatch is available now for $149.99 on the company's online marketplace and in its stores.

Rejected By VCs, Pebble Watch Raises $3.8M on Kickstarter
When it comes to the road to success in Silicon Valley, Eric Migicovsky was definitely on the right path.
His idea for creating a watch that can display messages from your smartphone was embraced by Y Combinator, the prestigious business incubator. While completing the program, he outperformed others by actually generating revenue. He later raised $375,000 from four angel investors, including Paul Buchheit, a partner at Y Combinator, and Tim Draper of venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson.
Then he hit a roadblock. A big one. Migicovsky couldn't raise more money.
So Migicovsky posted his watch on Kickstarter, a "crowd-funding" website where anyone can pledge money for creative projects that have yet to be completed. In the last few days, roughly 26,000 people plunked down their cash, with many pledging hundreds of dollars and about a half dozen folks promising $10,000 or more.
In return, they get a discount on the watches. The startup, Pebble Technology, plans to ship the first batch in September. However, like all projects on the site, there's no guarantee that the creator will follow through.
Migicovsky has raised more than $3.8 million, making the watch the highest-grossing project since Kickstarter was founded two years ago, a spokesman for the website said.
Migicovsky said he's more adept at pitching to consumers than to venture capitalists.
"With VCs, they worry about models and size of market and stuff like that," he said. "With consumers, one of the things I love about the videos, we just showed how you're going to use it."

Sony SmartWatch
Sporting an attractive silver-metallic trim, the Sony SmartWatch relies on a tiny 1.3-inch OLED display to showcase information. Also equipped with a touch screen, users interact with the gadget by tapping and swiping fingers across the display, much like a smartphone.
Designed to link to any smartphone running Android version 2.1 or higher, the Sony SmartWatch right out of the gate offers plenty of flexibility.
On the right side of the Sony SmartWatch is its sole physical control, a small power button. When powered down, pressing the power key for a few seconds will kick the SmartWatch into Bluetooth pairing mode.
Just like an Android handset, the Sony SmartWatch has its own app tray with multiple screens that house icons for app shortcuts. You can launch apps directly from the app tray or have them operate as widgets on the watch's multiple home screens.
music app lets you control your phone's audio playback
Using the Twitter and Facebook apps, SmartWatch wearers can view tweets and updates as they happen or dive into apps for more details.

Pebble smart watch sells out on Kickstarter
The record-setting project has raised more than $10 million and took preorders for 85,000 watches, which is apparently the limit for the tiny company.
There's a very interesting sociological experiment going on over on Kickstarter right now, where the Pebble smart team watch has unwittingly tested the old notion that you can't have too much of a good thing. Apparently, though, you can.
That's right — Pebble doesn't want any more of your money. It's drowning in cash. Earlier this week, with 75,000 watches already spoken for, it announced that only 10,000 more would be made available in exchange for a pledge of cash (essentially a preorder). Now they're all gone. All reward levels that would earn supporters their own smart watch are now all sold out.
When Eric Migicovsky and his crew set out to raise $100,000 to get their smart wristwatch project off the ground and into production a few weeks ago — the Pebble can run its own apps and also connects to an Android or iOS device via Bluetooth — they had no idea they'd raise more than 100 times that amount. The Pebble project surpassed $10 million dollars raised before hitting its apparent production ceiling, smashing the previous record for the crowdfunding record.

Disruptions: The Next Wave for the Wristwatch
Cellphones have already muscled onto watches' turf as a time-telling tool. Now, some of the biggest technology companies are eyeing your wrist, too.
Companies like Apple, Nike and Sony, along with dozens of start-ups, hope to strap a device on your wrist.
It is quite a disruption for the wristwatch, which has not actually been around all that long. Though said to have been invented in 1868 by the Swiss watchmaker Patek Philippe, it didn't really catch on until after World War I. Before that, people carried watches in their pockets or on chains.
The new wrist devices won't replace smartphones, but rather connect to them.
It is the extension of the phone that is appealing. "The wrist becomes a remote screen where you now have the ability to control your phone with a number of different applications," said Stephen Sneeden, Sony's product marketing manager. "By virtue of the intelligence of the smartphone, it's going to help to redefine what goes on your wrist."

Pebble smartwatch review
Can Pebble make the first smartwatch for regular people?
The Pebble smartwatch is a lot more than just a watch — it's the latest attempt to turn your wrist into the launchpad for a wearable computing revolution. It's also the preeminent symbol of the Kickstarter hardware revolution. After 85,000 orders, 10 million crowdfunded dollars, and one or two slipped ship dates, the Pebble is finally here, ready to pipe emails and texts directly to your wrist.
The Pebble stands out by not standing out — almost every other smart watch is a bulky, chunky affair, but chances are most people won't even realize you're wearing the Pebble until you tell them.
As for the screen itself, I would call it just okay: Pebble calls it "e-paper," but it's really a 114 x 168 "transflective" LCD that's designed for watches.
The Pebble app for iOS is basically a placeholder — you can download new watchfaces and troubleshoot connection problems, but that's about it. Everything else happens at the iOS system level: you pair the Pebble and select "show notifications," and you're theoretically off to the races.
Unlike the iPhone and iOS, which offer skeletal native support for devices like the Pebble at the system level, Pebble on Android is all about the app. That's where you manage everything, and at first glance it makes far more sense: all the settings are in one place, and you can quickly and easily make tweaks like having the watch show alerts for one email account but not another.
But there are some drawbacks to having an all-powerful app take the place of system-level support: Pebble's Android app needs broad permissions to your phone, including your Gmail account passwords.
It changes the entire dynamic of being connected
After using the Pebble for a few days, I realized that I was daydreaming about it: I wanted it to do more. That's unusual — I rarely trust new products to work correctly, especially new products from unproven companies. But the Pebble's charming simplicity and fundamental competence inspires confidence.
At $150, the Pebble isn't cheap, and it's definitely not yet a must-have device. But it's close — if the Pebble team can deliver on the rest of their promises,

Scoop: Google acquired WIMM Labs to bolster its own smartwatch plans
Samsung isn't the only one looking to launch a smartwatch. Google quietly snapped up a smartwatch company last year that could lay the foundation for its own wrist-bound products.
Watch out, Samsung: Google has some smartwatch development projects of its own, and it quietly snapped up Los Altos, Calif.-based WIMM Labs last year to kickstart these efforts. WIMM Labs not only gives Google the talent and technology to build a smartwatch, but actually an Android-based app platform tailored for consumers' wrists.
WIMM Labs was incubated around five years ago by Pillar Ventures, the investment company of former Rambus President Dave Morring, who subsequently became WIMM's CEO. The company first developed an Android-based developer platform for wearable displays, and then followed up in late 2011 with its own, developer-centric smartwatch dubbed the WIMM One.

This side-slitted Kimono Sweater is a celebration of the Chinese language's complex nature.
The embroidered graphic text hails from a Chinese poem entitled 'Shī Shì shí shī shǐ', or 'The Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den'. Featuring 92 characters, in this poem each syllable is pronounced with only the sound shi, yet thanks to the tonal nature of Chinese this same syllable, when repeated, tells an entire story.
Showing the shifting nature of language itself, here the written form is represented as something fluid.
KAIZEN's debut Kimono Sweater is 320gsm and 100% cotton, perfectly completed by our circular logo also embroidered on the top back.

IolaNew ZealandAge: 45-54Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5Intriguing and Thought-ProvokingJune 13, 2012IolaNew ZealandAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5My initial feeling about H2O was uncertainty - it is narrated by Kate Pepper, a 102-pound size 2 aerospace marketing executive and sushi chef who slices off part of her palm while catering a work-related dinner party hosted by her gorgeous but controlling boyfriend, Xavier. I'm not big on blood and I don't like controlling men in fiction or in real life, so this was not a promising start.
But underneath the doubtful beginning there is the start of a puzzle, a mystery, about Kate's reactions to the everyday miracle of water. Kate blacks out in the shower following her hand injury, and this turns out to be just one of many blackouts, always precipitated by water. It isn't long before she starts seeing things during her blackouts, and it becomes unclear what is real and what isn't. She starts searching for answers on the internet, and connects with someone with the known as WRKRJC, who attempts to help Kate make sense of her visions.
Some aspects of the novel felt little odd, like having WiFi explained. I thought that wireless internet technology was virtually omnipresent in the English-speaking world. Others (like the character names Thomas Cook and John Connor, better known respectively as a global travel company and the hero of the Terminator movies) made me wonder if there was something I was missing. And the special coffee roast from the mountains of New Zealand? I don't think so. Most of our mountains are ski-fields, not exactly conducive to growing a warm-weather crop like coffee.
But despite this, I found the book intriguing, thought-provoking and well worth reading. H2O is rich in symbolism (to the point of almost being allegorical) with excellent use of language. It's different to most of the Christian fiction on the market today and defies a straightforward genre description, being part literary, part speculative and part romance. I really enjoyed it, and am glad I persevered with it. Recommended.
Thanks to Living Ink Books (imprint of AMG Publishers) and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.
Michelle SuttonArizonaAge: 45-54Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5Unique story showing our need for redemption...April 4, 2012Michelle SuttonArizonaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4This was an odd story, but it was also edgy and different, which I liked. The imagery of the ultimate healing and the need to be cleansed from sin was pretty vivid. I loved how the heroine, Kate, couldn't get any more lost, and how she had to become broken in order to finally see the sad truth of her existence. The authors showed her misery at the top of her game as well as the misery she experienced during her all-time low. John was a great friend to her and probably the best example of Jesus in human form that she could have come across. Everyone needs a John in their life who listens and doesn't ask questions, unless they are hard hitting truths necessary for change. Everyone needs Jesus. That's the point of the story, but it was delivered in a very creative way in this book.
Sometimes the woman seemed a bit like a guy to me in the way she saw the world, but I suppose that had something to do with the fact that the authors were men. But overall, they did a great job portraying everyone's need for redemption. I liked the many visions Kate had and then seeing how they tied into many stories in the Scriptures. There seemed to be a purpose in each vision. Though I'm not much of a fantasy lover, I do enjoy a good allegory, and this novel was definitely allegorical in nature. The best part of the story was probably Kate's realization that she would rather risk the visions and live a risky, but cleansed life, than to life in "safety," but have a dead, useless existence. That's some pretty powerful imagery. Well done!
Jill WilliamsonOregonAge: 25-34Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5Supernatural women's fictionFebruary 20, 2012Jill WilliamsonOregonAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4Review by Jill Williamson
Kate Pepper has a great job that she loves, but her handsome boyfriend—and boss—is very controlling. But Kate takes life one day at a time, working hard and hoping for the best. When she begins having visions, everything in her life shatters. The touch of water brings the visions on, so Kate moves into a bizarre existence, doing everything she can to keep from touching water. But life isn't getting any better. Kate must face the content of her dreams to keep from drowning.
I'll be honest, I didn't like this book at first. It was Xavier, the boyfriend. I was horrified at how he treated Kate, and I almost didn't want to have to read any more! But it was worth it. The overall story was fascinating. (And Kate finally gets away from that horrible man.) The visions were an intriguing plot twist that I enjoyed. Overall this book reads like a women's fiction novel about relationships, the drive for success, and where you put your hope. Kate put her hope in her own strength, and when she had no strength left, she almost didn't make it. A fascinating story. Give it a try.
*I received this book free for review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
MelanieGender: female4 Stars Out Of 5A Great Read!January 18, 2012MelanieGender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Rating: 4 1/2 stars!
What would you do if you suddenly started having visions when you got wet? Visions so powerful you lost touch with the world for that amount of time. Would you avoid water at all costs - or learn to live with it?
That is exactly what happened to Kate Pepper. She used to love getting wet, but when she suddenly starts having visions whenever she comes in contact with water, she finds herself fearing water and trying to avoid it at all costs. But how can you live without water? Will anything good come out of all this turmoil?
H20 is the first book I've read by Austin Boyd or Brannon Hollinsworth. Even though I haven't read that many fantasy books, I really like the genre and H20 was great!
From the beginning pages of H20 I found myself liking Kate and disliking Xavier (Kate's boyfriend) - he just seemed like such an uncaring and mean person! I couldn't understand why Kate stayed with him when he treated her the way he did.
Though some might think Kate's visions were weird, I actually really liked them (especially the later ones). Most were of Biblical events; like Jesus' baptism, Peter walking on the water to Jesus, the woman at the well, etc. - I really liked that. They were told really well and even brought to mind some things I never thought about.
While H20 was interesting and enjoyable from the beginning, it was when I got halfway through and Kate started talking to WRKRJC that H20 became really good and the pages went by much faster! I understood the characters more and I started wondering who WRKRJC was and what the letters meant.
Throughout H20, whether through Kate's visions or actually spoken, there was a story of forgiveness and how Jesus can make you clean!
I think H20 is best suited for ages 16 and older because of some of the things mentioned - although none of it is bad, it might not be appropriate for younger readers.
Overall, I really enjoyed H20 and recommend it if you enjoy fantasy novels with a good message. I look forward to reading O2, the next novel in The Eternal Elements!
*Thanks to Brannon Hollingsworth for my review copies. I was not required to give a positive review, only my honest opinion - which I've done. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.*

How does one of the stars of the CW's Riverdale spend his time off? By climbing on repurposed headstones in Brooklyn, of course! Cole Sprouse, known for his role as the emotional but well meaning Jughead on the show, takes Vogue and his trusty camera along for a day in Greenpoint that's actually pretty true to his fictional character. The 25-year-old starts his tour at a local donut shop (unfortunately, there isn't a Pop's Diner in real life) and enjoys one of the perks of being a modern-day teen heartthrob: No charge!
Sprouse is not by any means new to the spotlight. As a child, he had a recurring role on Friends as Ross's son and during his adolescent years went on to star in two Disney Channel sitcoms with his twin brother, Dylan. Fast-forward to right now, and the star seems to find himself behind the camera nearly as often as he's in front of it. He appeared in Vogue's May issue with models Saffron Vadher and Mayowa Nicholas, camera in hand. Last year, he photographed Sam Smith for the cover of L'Uomo Vogue and perhaps most excitingly for his rabid fanbase, he often shares personal snapshots (including of his girlfriend and Riverdale costar Lili Reinhart) to his Instagram grid.
Watch the video above and follow along as we move through the day with Sprouse, from breakfast on the go to the secluded spot that Sprouse considers a hidden gem.

We'll start with the caveat: Alabama A&M is an objectively terrible Division 1 basketball team. Bless their hearts, they just aren't good, and that's ok. We knew going that the outcome would never be in doubt, which is quite rare for a Dayton game.
This night was about one final celebration of the Elite 8, including the sexy new banners, before moving on. It was about getting guys some minutes before the three games in four days grind that will be Puerto Rico. It was about checking up on Photobooth Gurl, a noted and distinguished friend of the BR. It was about the student section, full as ever (seriously, no snark here. You guys were awesome. Keep it up).
On the floor, it was about Darrell Davis. The lone eligible frosh, "Durrell" put on a first half show. He made threes, attacked the rim, and calmly knocked down free throws. He looks like the most game ready Cager freshman since Chris Wright. He will have his struggles and needs to put on weight, but this kid is going to be a star. After 15 first half points, young Darrell had a few freshman moments after the break, but overall, he had a spectacular evening.
It was also about Devon Scott. Voted a captain to the chagrin of the sweaters and Donoher, Scott stepped on the floor and played like a captain. The numbers were nice (9 points, 12 boards), but this was against a bad SWAC team. How he looked seemed far more important. He showed an understanding of how to create a passing lane for a guard, and he knew where to position himself on defense. He looked like a basketball player, not a big dude in a tank top.
There was a lot to like about Dayton in this game. Scoochie Smith looks ready to run the show. Dyshawn Pierre looks like a seasoned pro with much improved ball handling. If Pierre can push the ball up the floor like he did against Alabama A&M, I have no idea how opponents will stop Dayton in transition. Kyle Davis is the quickest Dayton player I can remember. On the flipside, Sibert seemed to force things and never really got his feet under him, and Jalen Robinson looked out of shape and low on confidence.
Perhaps the most encouraging takeaway from opening night is that this team is clearly nowhere near a finished product. This is just their baseline. We won't begin to know what kind of team this will be until they get punched in the mouth a couple times, but this UD squad oozes potential. After last season, the "P" word isn't quite as scary, even if we know they can't possibly live up to our raised internal hopes and expectations.
Next up: Texas A&M on Thursday in Puerto Rico.

Invoicing with WordPress
We have been looking out for a neat Invoicing plugin for quite some time and found various reviews about the different plugin available out there.
We were looking for something rather straightforward, manage clients, manage invoices, manage payments. We initially set out to test the WP-Invoice plugin, however, we soon run into difficultities with some strange error which we found was quite recurrent among various users on the support forum. In a parallel we also found Shaken's Invoice Lite theme, a GPL distributed free theme which converts a site into an Invoice management tool. A pro version of the theme also exists which allows you to do more customisation and functionality.
The theme does exactly what we need, however, being an Indian based company we needed a little bit functionality, namely the ability to configure Domestic and International clients. We need to be able to configure the Currencies, Tax and payment gateway for each set type of client. We have released our modifications under the same GPL license, and you can download the modified Shaken theme from our GitHub repository below.

Remember the story of Sleeping Beauty? Here's the fairytale with a twist – perhaps, in 2019, she would slap on a hearty dose of night cream before she hits the bed just to keep her skin glowing when she wakes up. On a serious note, do not underestimate the power of a good night sleep coupled with a healthy night skin routine. Usually, these creams are focused on repairing the damage done either by UV rays or other environmental aggressors on the skin throughout the day, but at night the skin has a longer contact period with the cream resulting in better absorption and improves skin cell regeneration.
Skin aging is a complex biological phenomenon which depends on several factors like genetics, nutrition, stress, hormones, and cellular metabolism and outer influences like sun exposure, pollution, chemicals and toxins. These factors lead to structural changes in the skin and changes occur in each layer of the skin leading to changes in the skin appearance especially on sun-exposed areas which primarily includes the facial skin. A skincare routine is an essential step to healthy skin, advices Dr Batul Patel, a dermatologist. She says, "While the morning routine is mostly very simple, the night routine for the face is divided into two main groups of creams. The first group consists of antioxidants or brightening creams such as Vitamin C, alpha hydroxy acid or newer molecule like mandelic acid, kojic cream or idebenone molecule which is a great antioxidant. The second group is made of cell regulators/ epidermal renewal creams such as retinol, peptides and growth factors which have direct effects on collagen pro
duction and also help to improve the skin tone and texture. The routine is must for all age groups but with different creams – the younger ones could use either cream for acne and oily skin and alternate with a Vitamin C cream, whereas, older ones can use creams which are cell regulators or collagen stimulators."
As we age, the kind of creams evolve – the cream we need at age 20 will be very different from what we need to at age 50. Prevention of anti aging can start from age 25 years. The creams to start will be milder and more for hydration. As age progresses the creams ingredients and potency will increase with a lot more peptides and collagen boost informs Dr Simal Soin, founder of a skin care clinic. She mentions, "Night creams are usually thicker in consistency and help replenish the moisture and keeps the skin hydrated thus preventing fine lines and wrinkles. They also help boost collagen production and thus keeping your skin looking more youthful. In older age groups, the skin slowly starts losing moisture and gets dry hence replenishment is imperative with a hyaluronic acid-rich night cream. A cream rich in antioxidants, peptides, AHA's, amino acids and vitamin C, E, A further help in collagen-boosting and reversal of pigmentation and signs of aging."
It is known that a good night routine followed for a long period can keep the skin younger and help in stimulating the collagen and cell renewal of the skin. Beauty expert Ragini Mehra, founder of beauty retail brand, suggests natural elements to treat various skin ailments using some common ingredients. She says, "Orange flower moisturiser is a light and cooling lotion that helps to nourish the skin whilst regulating the production of sebum. While ingredients like evening primrose, rice germ, and Neroli help to protect and clarify the skin with long-lasting hydration. Oat extract helps with balancing the skin by reducing the appearance of pores and reducing shine. Choose the cream that suits your skin type and observe the difference in your appearance."

"The reality of a bed bug infestation is almost always worse than the thought!"
If you have…or suspect bed bugs the first step is to take a deep breath and find a bed bug inspection Scottsdale Az service to schedule a free evaluation. Getting infested by these pests can be a nightmare. Not every mysterious bite mark or itch is caused by these critters. In fact 4 out of 10 calls we receive for suspected activity turns out to be not related to bed bugs. Most of those calls turn out to be other pests or allergies.
Seemingly overnight Scottsdale has become an epicenter of bed bug infestations in the Grand Canyon State. Calls for Scottsdale bed bug inspections have increased two-fold just within the last 3 years. Areas of infestation range from 5 Star Resorts, motels, theaters, residential homes to hospitals and waiting rooms. Just about any location where people regularly rest or sleep is subject to infestation.
Before considering any eradication method(s) it's important to have a thorough inspection by a professional exterminator. Spending 100s or even 1000s of dollars to treat for a non-existent pest(s) and being needlessly exposed to harsh chemicals is a major bummer. Unfortunately this scenario plays out daily across the valley.
Bed bugs generally feed between midnight and 5AM. During daylight hours they tend to retreat to hidden nesting areas. Since most bed bug inspections are done during working hours while these critters are in hiding finding the actual bug can be difficult, unless the infestation is heavy. Experienced professionals are able to detect the subtle signs of infestation without actually seeing the pest.

I work with users, product owners, business analysts, developers, QA, and other UX colleagues on agile development teams. I help translate complex user needs and business strategies into simple and effective user experiences using User Centered Design principles. I communicate the User Experience strategy to ensure we are all heading towards the correct goals.
I love to hear from our users and customers! I plan, recruit, schedule, and execute remote and in-person user studies. I conduct explorative research to help generate ideas and conduct evaluative research to validate our assumptions and concepts. I have experience with many different kinds of research: surveys, focus groups, workshops, usability testing, interviews, and observations.
Bringing ideas and concepts to life is the most exciting part of my job. My tools of choice depend on the fidelity of the prototype, team skills, timing of the project, type of testing being done, frameworks being used, and the phase of research. I build prototypes and proof of concepts of varying fidelity for both UX Design and User Research. These are just some of the tools I've used:
Hello, I'm Christie
I am a UX Designer and User Researcher living in Ohio. I have degrees in Computer Science and Human Factors, and I've been designing and crafting web applications for over 14 years.
I feel very fortunate to be able to work with people who are not only passionate about design and development, but also passionate about the mission of the organization. I love working with good people, for a good cause, and with purpose.
I primarily work on teams that create complex web applications, but I also build and manage simple content-based sites, WordPress sites, and online retail stores.
Aside from all of the above, fitness and staying healthy inside and out is a great passion of mine. This is how I keep my soul happy in this wonderful crazy life. I am also fascinated with antiques and appreciate superior craftsmanship, originality and uniqueness in something as simple as a piece of furniture.

"I've had seven fantastic years here where I have met some great friends but it's something I need to do to progress in my career.
"I'd like to thank everyone associated with the club for giving me the opportunity and to the supporters who have given me kind messages about the pitch this season."
Everybody at Oldham Athletic would like to thank Chris for his outstanding efforts over the past seven years and wish him the best for the future.

Please be good to me. May was an exceptionally difficult month for me. My confidence was shaken. My spirit was injured. My heart was sad for most of those days. The bounceback that I had come to rely on in recent years was not helping me to…well, bounce back. In fact, although it is the first day of June, I'm still hanging pretty low trying to work my way out of the emotions I'm having trouble escaping right now.
Don't get me wrong. I had a few really wonderful days in May. Tremendously special in fact. It felt like those tremendous days were strategically placed in the month to prevent me from falling back into a dark place I never thought my heart or my head would return to. There was the national meeting with my firm in Vegas in which I felt a little lift professionally reconnecting with colleagues across the country. There was a really special couple of days with my special someone where he treated me to a "make-up" day for my birthday, as I had had one of the worst birthdays ever just the week before. In fact, my make-up birthday was one of my favorite birthdays ever. He did good. Real good. :o) And then the following weekend I lucked out with one of the prettiest weekends in Seattle, where I signed myself up for a battle with some Alaskan king crab legs…and won…although there was a bit of blood shed (those things are prickly!)
So June, please be good to me. I'm tired of crying, my heart hurting and my emotions being on the brink of returning to a very dark place that I never thought I would return.
Cheers to June and to sunnier days!

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend Enjoy Late Night at Disneyland
Power couple Chrissy Teigen and John Legend took a well-deserved break Friday to hit up Disneyland for a magical date night. The new parents headed to "The Happiest Place On Earth", in a party bus no less, and Teigen captured the late night adventure on her Snapchat.
The snaps begin in the swank, pink-lit interior of their ride, with the 30-year-old model singing her heart out while showing off her incredible post-baby bod in a chic summer ensemble of high-waisted jean shorts and a sheer black floorlength cardigan. In one of the snaps she gives special attention to her pair of white kicks, which she captions is her "First time wearing sneakers outside of the gym." The Cravings author finishes off her look for the occasion by accessorizing with her new Disney x COACH leather Mickey Kisslock crossbody bag, complete with iconic mouse ears. Teigen took to Instagram yesterday to thank Coach for the "special delivery" and is seen posing in the brand's South Coast Plaza store.
Other moments captured from the exciting evening feature the stylish duo taking in the park — "first Space Mountain!", Teigen is heard exclaiming — and chomping down on churros with their pals while walking through Disneyland's eerie Haunted Mansion attraction. The Lip Sync Battle commentator took to Instagram to immortalize one of the snaps, a stunning photo of her and Legend posing in front of a churro stand, humorously captioning it, "Best ride at Disney."

Best value hotel in the world? It's in Wales
Tucked away on the north Wales coast, Lawton Court looks much like any other beachfront hotel.
And the rooms, at £74 per person per night, appear ordinarily priced for an establishment that is just a stone's throw from sand and sea.
But holidaymakers to the popular Llandudno seaside resort attest otherwise.
In fact, the feedback has been so overwhelmingly positive that the four-star hotel was yesterday named as one of the best in the world.
Guests posted hundreds of glowing reviews on TripAdvisor to convince the ratings website to award Lawton Court first place in its World Top 10 Bargain Hotels category.
It received second place in the World's Top 10 Small Hotels and came fourth in the world for service.
Reviewers said they would "unreservedly recommend" the hotel for its relaxed, friendly owners who went "above and beyond" expectations. Many said they were pleasantly surprised by the free parking and "honesty bar", where guests are invited to pour their own drinks if they write down their order and room number.
One guest said: "We had a wonderful time at this hotel, the place is spotless, breakfast amazing 10 out of 10. As for service I would say 12/10, we cannot wait to come back."
Another said: "The best hotel we have ever stayed in, from day one Scott made us feel at home with his friendly sense of humour. The food was amazing with a full English plus extra and the service brilliant. The rooms are lovely and clean with a sea view."
A room at Lawton Court, the 'best bargain hotel in the world'
Hannah Lawton-Jones, who runs the hotel with her husband Scott, a former chef, said: "We are over the moon and never imagined winning any awards. We just try to make our guests feel welcome by putting ourselves in their shoes.
"We're always looking for ways to improve, but mostly it's been using our common sense and really caring about our guests. For example, we have an 11-month-old and that means we understand that simple things in the rooms and restaurant can make life easier for parents."
The couple only opened the hotel in April last year, converting it from a home for adults with learning difficulties. In nine months it has been rated five stars out of five in 233 of the 235 reviews on TripAdvisor. The other two customers gave it four.
The breakfast at Lawton Court was highly praised by guests
Mrs Lawton-Jones, 28, said many guests told them they felt like they were staying "with friends rather than in a hotel", which was "the biggest compliment" they could receive.
"Everyone has a story to tell, and it's so nice to be a part of it," she said. She and her husband, 36, live and work at the hotel and employ four staff during the mornings.
Their success follows that of Mr Lawton-Jones' parents, Carol-Lynn and Ian Robbins, who run Lauriston Court hotel two doors down, which won best hotel in the world for service in 2013.
James Kay, of TripAdvisor, said: "Hospitality is clearly in the blood of the Robbins/Lawton-Jones family."
The Travellers' Choice awards take into account the quality and quantity of reviews and opinions, as well as ratings specific to each award category.
As was the "honesty bar", where customers pour their own drinks and leave a note
The only other British hotel to collect first prize in the 2015 awards was Millgate bed and breakfast, in Masham, North Yorkshire, which was first in the World's Top 10 B&Bs ratings.
Sue Burrell, who owns Millgate B&B with husband Andrew, said: "The fact that this award stems from our guests' feedback makes it even more special, because the reviews we've received on TripAdvisor have really helped our business thrive."
British B&Bs took 10 of the top 25 places - more than any other destination. The Shola Coach House, in Portrush, Northern Ireland, Llwyn Helyg Country House, in Llanarthney, Wales, and Beach Cottage B&B, in Inverness, Scotland, all featured in the top 10.
The £500-a-night Haymarket Hotel in London was ranked as the Britain's best hotel, while the £1,144-a-night Gili Lankanfushi Maldives, on the North Male Atoll of the Maldives, took the title of the world's top hotel for 2015.
The Travellers' Choice Awards honour outstanding properties in several categories including top hotels, bargain, B&Bs and inns, family, luxury, romance, and small hotels.

Despite enjoying lengthy spells of both possession and territory, Jason Payne's side were unable to convert this into scores and were instead forced to see the Knights extend their winning run in the competition. In a breezy start, Thunder made plenty of the early running after riding out early pressure following a dropped high ball at the end of the Knights first attacking set. Earning a penalty that allowed the hosts to relieve the pressure the completed their next attack six deep into York's half before a mistake at the play the ball allowed the hosts to build a decent period in the shadow of the Knights posts. Making a mistake of their own, it proved to be a sucker-punch for Thunder, as the Knights went on to score on the subsequent set to break the deadlock. Enjoying the better of much of the opening twenty minutes, with repeated forays into Thunder territory, the Knights were unable to add to their score thanks to a mixture of stern defence from the hosts and handling error. Having kept their line intact, Thunder bagged a deserved equaliser as the half-hour mark approached thanks to centre Tuoyo Egodo. Awarded a penalty for obstruction and starting a fresh set 10 meters from the York line, Newcastle laid the foundation for their opening try as half-back Lewis Young slipped his way out of a tackle in the centre of the park and worked the ball out to winger Ben Calland. And while the Wigan and Salford U19 player was unable to get over the line himself, his positioning ensured that Egodo was able to profit from a superb dive into the corner, before Tom Shaw's touchline conversion leveled the scores. Seven minutes from the interval York were back in front when a superb delayed pass from Connor Robinson allowed Joe Batchelor the easiest of walk-ins before a penalty for dissent against the hosts allowed the Knights to take an eight-point lead into the break. A frenetic opening to the second half saw both sides onto the scoresheet in the opening ten minutes, with the hosts closing to within four thanks to an acrobatic second try for Edogo before Judah Mazive posted an instant reposte immediately after the kick-off, winning the ball in the air and breaking through. With the Knights having shown some tight defence in recent weeks, a ten point advantage looked like an imposing lead though Thunder continued to plug away and work themselves into a position to strike, but were unable to make the telling break. The game was over as a contest with five minutes to play when Kieran Moss finished of another Robinson break, though Thunder were able to have the last word when Evan Simons scored a consolation try, after supporting a break from Edogo down Thunder's left edge. Newcastle Thunder Theerapol Ritson, Mo Agoro, Joe Brown, Tuoyo Egodo, Ben Calland, Lewis Young, Tom Shaw, Liam McAvoy, Evan Simons, Jack Aldous, Sam Luckley, Aaron Ollett, Conor Fitzsimmons, Rhys Clarke, Harry Aldous, Vincent Rennie, Ben Pointer Tries: Egodo (24, 47), Simons (80) Goals: Shaw 2/3 York City Knights Kieran Moss, Ben Cockayne, Will Oakes, Jake Normington, Judah Mazive, Matthew Marsh, Connor Robinson, Joshua Johnson.

You may not know Denise Di Novi by name, but she's almost certainly a creative influence behind a film you love. Since making her debut as a producer on the 1988 cult classic Heathers, Di Novie has navigated a top-flight career as a Hollywood power producer, forging a career that has topped a billion at the box office. Along the way, Di Novi produced a string of Tim Burton's best films, including Edwards Scissorhands, Batman Returns, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. In the years since, she and her production company, which she has focused more at studio films directly towards female audiences, from Practical Magic and Message in a Bottle, to her recent stint shepherded a string of successful Nicholas Sparks adaptations.
Now, Di Novi is making her directorial debut with the Katherine Heigl and Rosario Dawson two-hander Unforgettable. A rare meat and potatoes thriller in the mold of female-driven subgenre that dominated the '90s, the film follows Dawson's Julia Banks, a woman recovering from a traumatic relationship who falls in love with a man who has the world's scariest ex-wife. The woman in question is Heigl's Tess Connover, a perfectionist with a deeply misguided sense of self-entitlement who makes it her mission to get Julia out of her ex-husband's life at any cost.
With Unforgettable in theaters this weekend, I recently hopped on the phone for an extended interview with Di Novi to chat about the film. She talked about making the jump from producing to directing, the unexpected way she ended up with the directing gig, why she wanted to make an old-school thriller, how she got started in the industry at a time when there wasn't much precedent for female producers, and why it's important for her to foster female-driven stories. We also looked back at some of her beloved early films, her creative partnership with Tim Burton, and how Heathers has found new life with a new generation of moviegoers. Read the full interview below.
How are you today?
DI NOVI: I'm fantastic! I'm having a blast.
Oh great. I know for some people the press days can be kind of a grind, so that's great that you enjoy it.
DI NOVI: Oh yeah, this is not a grind at all. A lot of great response to the movie, especially from women. So it's really exciting.
Yeah, it's a lot of fun and that's something I definitely wanted to talk to you about because this is a film with a lot of different female characters, and that's not something you see a lot.
DI NOVI: That's for sure.
There are, by my count, about four female characters that have a clear point of view. I always knew how they felt about the scene they were in.
DI NOVI: Oh, I love that!
This is your directorial debut, but you've directed so many films over the years, is that something you actively seek out in your projects? That female perspective.
DI NOVI: I do. For two reasons. One is, I don't think you see it enough so I feel some responsibility if I'm in this position where I can try to get movies made. Secondly, it interests me. It's what I relate to and I understand it. I find it fascinating. I like to see women in challenging situations and see how they deal with it or don't deal with it. That's interesting to me.
I think that really manifests in this movie, and I think it probably helps that you had a female screenwriter. A lot of the communication, or the acts of violence that aren't actually violence, are communicated through these sort of touchstones of femininity. Tessa's power move with the wedding dress, cutting the hair, those sorts of things are explicitly feminine aggressions.
DI NOVI: Yeah, I had a female producer, female writer, female studio executive, female advertising executives and we all get it. There is, there's a vernacular and a language that we have, that makes sense. The great thing that we're seeing is that half of the people who love the movie are men. Men love the movie, which is really exciting for me. I think they love the genre and they like that it's an exciting thriller, but they find that fascinating as well.
Well, it's all sort of a delicious movie–
DI NOVI: I love that word.
Yeah! It's so much fun to see an erotic thriller again because those kinds of movies just aren't being made right now. Why was that a genre that appealed to you?
DI NOVI: I have always loved this genre of movie. As a kid, Hitchcock was my first favorite director. All of those movies. I remember when I saw Rebecca, it just blew my mind. Then I loved Adrian Lyne movies, then I loved all the Ashley Judd, Jodie Foster movies. And then just kind of went away for some reason, and I think the studio was really smart in saying that these movies can often work, let's make another one. I was just really excited about that. They're often female protagonists, females in jeopardy, but in this one to have two females. It's not just a woman dealing with her husband, it's two women kind of going head to head and that was really exciting for me.
So I have a pretty film nerdy question. I may be reading into this too much, but I also really love the genre. Were the wind chimes on the phone a call back to Body Heat or am I just a nerd?
DI NOVI: Oh, I love it! That's a great film nerd. A little bit, yeah. There's a lot of things. I wanted to kind of be inspired by this language of film that I loved and kind of feminize it in a way, and make it my own and make it contemporary. So there's a lot of little touches like that.
That's awesome. In addition to making your film debut with Unforgettable, you also directed an episode of Bones this year. So why was 2017 the right year to make your big directorial debut?
DI NOVI: You know, it's funny how things happen. It wasn't my idea to direct the movie, to be honest. It was the studio's idea. They suggested that I direct it and when they said it I just said yes immediately. There was no question in my mind. It felt like after all these years of producing that this was the right script and the right time for me to direct. I didn't know if I would love it or not. By about the third ay I thought "I love this. I want to do it again." I did the Bones episode to see if I liked directing television, because I love television and I want to work in television, and I loved doing that. Now I'm starting another film for Amblin in September called Highway One that's a female action movie. It's funny how things happen in life. Sometimes, you just take the opportunity when it comes. Life can be surprising.
That is so interesting. Is directing something that you had considered over the years and you were very content with your successes as a producer?
DI NOVI: You know, over the years sometimes people would say to me, "How come you're not a director? How come you haven't moved into directing?" To be honest, when I started there were barely any women producers, let alone directors. It was hard enough to become a woman producer. Then as people would say to me "Oh, you should direct," I would be starting another movie as a producer. I just had a really lucky and busy prolific career as a producer. Then when my kids were little I was kind of grateful that I was a producer, which had more flexibility in terms of being a mother to small children. The opportunities never came my way, and that's ok. I loved my career. Now my kids are adults and it's really the perfect time.
It's interesting that you say you were actively interested in getting into television. I think that has been a field with much more opportunity for female directors than movies have been.
DI NOVI: Yes. I think that's true. I think there's more female driven stuff on television. I think there's so much good television now, and there's a lot of things on television that would have been a movie or maybe wouldn't have been made at all if it wasn't for cable and streaming. It's a really exciting part of the future and I really want to be a part of it.
I think it's true for the actresses as well. You see a lot of really established, award winning, career actresses taking roles on TV now and I think they just get more interesting things to do.
That's true. I think that some of the writing, directing, and the content is better than a lot of movies sometimes. Actors, well artists in general – actors, writers, directors — what we all care about the most is good work and being able to create something that is really resonant and meaningful. We'll kind of do it wherever we can do it. So if it's happening on television, that's great.
Yeah, the stigma definitely isn't there anymore that used to be.
DI NOVI: Yeah, not at all.
Speaking of actors, can you talk about finding the right leads for Unforgettable. They fit their roles so perfectly.
DI NOVI: I have been a big fan for years of both actresses. I've worked with Katie – Katherine Heigl before. I had been watching Rosario Dawson and thinking, "She's such a movie star. I want to find a movie where she's the lead character and a star," and I thought that she was just perfect for this role. Her kind of goodness and her open-heartedness and her incredible energy level and strength. And then, you know, Katherine Heigl is just so strong, and beautiful, and charismatic, and so intelligent and her technique as an actress is just really amazing, so I kind of felt like they had something in common and they were equals. You could see these two women kind of, when they're in the frame together, your eye doesn't know where to look because they're both so awesome. They're equals, they're true equals, and yet they're so different, and you know, I really wanted to design the characters to be opposite in so many ways, but kind of be struggling with some of the same things at the same time.
Something I found interesting is it seemed to be maybe dismantling a little bit this idea of two types of female perfectionism. The super chill girl who's always just naturally beautiful, and then the really put-together woman who owns a thousand makeup brushes.
DI NOVI: You're 100% right. You so got it, I love that. She kind of wears the bohemian soft colors of clothes and the loose curly hair and stuff, and she's chill, and Katie is like the Hitchcock blonde, perfect, but they're both kind of suffering underneath, of being that type of woman and being desirable to the male character.
Yeah, that translated really well. For getting behind the camera for the first time, what was one or two of the big takeaway lessons that maybe you didn't expect to learn in that process?
DI NOVI: Of being a director? That's a good question, nobody's asked me that. I think really digging deep in yourself as well, you know? I think the deeper I understood the material and the script and the themes and the characters, I felt the more confident I was and the more I could bring to the movie. So I was lucky to have my actors because they were right there with me in the deep end. We talked so much about these women in these situations, and we really kind of created this relationship where we were in it together and we loved these women. I loved Tessa. I was sad when the movie finished and I missed her, I just loved her, I was fascinated by her. So I think really having that deep, emotional connection to the material was both exciting for me and it helped me do a better job.
Did you find it challenging at all to shed the producer mentality?
DI NOVI: Yes, there were times where I was thinking about stuff as a producer and I thought, you know what, it's hard enough to be a director, I have great producers and I can let them do their thing. Of course, I am a producer and I will always be a producer, and my years of expertise I think helped me make some decisions and figure my way out of some problems and assign solutions, but I really did try to wear my director hat and take off my producer hat as much as I could.
You referenced this earlier, but I'm curious because it's absolutely true. When you started producing, female producers — I mean, they're pretty rare now, but back in the 90s it was not even a thing, really.
DI NOVI: Oh, yeah. Very rare.
How did you sort of break through that and get your start?
DI NOVI: You know, I think it was just — I just kind of didn't take no for an answer. You know? And I think part of it was just kind of, not ignorance… What's the word I'm looking for? I just felt like, well, maybe there's not any women producers, but maybe I could do it anyway. [laughs] It didn't occur to me that that was a reason not to do it. There were a few before me, there was a generation that started a little bit before me of women producers and Sherry Lansing, she was the first woman studio president, and she was really inspiring to me. I was inspired by other women in other fields, I was an adolescent in the 70s with the second wave feminism, and I got very inspired by that and felt like, you know what, there's no reason why I can't do this.
So did you then go to school for it and follow that track?
DI NOVI: Not at all, I actually started as a journalist. Yeah, I wanted to be a journalist and I started in journalism, and I was a TV reporter in Toronto and then I started doing stories on film because I always loved film, but I didn't think I could work in film. And then I got a job as a unit publicist and started working in the movie business.
So can you talk about, then, after you got your start. This question is a bit broad, butyou've been very loyal to the studios you work with, so you will have been able to track sort of in-house changes. But also just in the general sense, can you talk about seeing the film industry evolve over the last two decades?
DI NOVI: Yeah, I mean, it's changed dramatically. And then, you know, some things have not changed. I think it's a little bit slower than maybe it should be or we thought it would be. There are more women, but it's still a very tiny portion. Very tiny. So that's changing dramatically, and I can feel it even the last three years in terms of a commitment to diversity in general, not just for women, but people of color, but it's still not a big enough change. It's still really small when you look at the statistics. I think everybody's been decrying the death of movie theaters for decades and, you know, people are still going to the movies in droves. It's gone down, but it hasn't gone down that much. I think the biggest change has been the emergence of cable and streaming on television. I think that has really had a dramatic effect, and I think it's a positive one. I think there's really good work going on there, and as movies stratify to being these gigantic tentpole movies, and small movies, I think it gives another outlet for character-driven material. The smaller or mid-budget type movies can be on television as limited series or series, so I think it's putting a lot people to work and it's creating a lot of great, really entertaining content.
That was a very well-rounded answer, thank you!
DI NOVI: Oh, good!
Speaking of, you said in the last few years there's been a bigger push towards diversity on all fronts. Do you think that has something to do with the fact that audiences have become more and more vocal with each passing year?
DI NOVI: Yes, I think that people speaking up about what they want — and listen, I think part of it is that social consciousness and wanting to do the right thing, and part of it is starting to become aware that audience is not all white males and that we have a very diverse audience, and they want to see themselves and their experience on screen. And if we don't have it, they're not gonna come. So I think it's both pragmatic and socially motivated.
As part of my job, I'm always tracking trends to see what people want to read about, and on Tumblr, I don't know if you know this, but Heathers, partly because of the musical and partly because of nostalgia, has been one of the top trending topics on Tumblr for quite a while now.
DI NOVI: I didn't know that! I keep getting asked about that, maybe that's why.
It's having such a huge resurgent moment right now. What is it like to see something that you made at the very beginning of your career finding popularity again at this point in your life?
DI NOVI: It's really rewarding because I have such a soft-spot in my heart for Heathers. It was my first movie, and it's, I think, such a great movie, and I think Daniel Waters who wrote the movie is such a genius and it was such a brilliant piece of work, that I'm really happy for him, actually, that people still talk about it and appreciate it. I think it just shows that if something is really great and really smart and truthful and authentic in its own way, that every generation is gonna relate to it. It's gonna have a life that continues. And that is, it's really rewarding.
Well, it is a fantastically written movie like you said. It's one of those things where my older sister loved it, I love it, and it's funny now to me that teenagers are still loving it just as much as we did.
DI NOVI: Yeah! Yeah, I know, it's funny, isn't it? I have people who say to me, "My grandmother's favorite movie is Heathers." [laughs]
It's still an edgy movie, it still holds up. It's just sharp. You also produced a lot with Tim Burton during the era that, for my money, saw his best filmmaking, including the films you both produced with Henry Selleck. Can you talk about how that creative relationship started and sort of what you guys' collaboration was like?
DI NOVI: You know, that was really a charmed period of my life, and I was looking back, I mean, what a lucky coincidence to have that happen. We had a connection with Winona Ryder, she did Beetlejuice, she did Heathers, we had a connection of his agents, we were at the same agency, and when we met, I think we both felt like we kind of didn't fit into Hollywood and were atypical. We kind of felt like we were a good partnership for that reason. My dad is a jazz musician, and I think I had a real understanding of that kind of mind, that completely committed artistic mind that Tim has. He's not just a filmmaker, he's one of the greatest artists of his generation, so that's a very particular point of view and a way of working, so it felt very familiar to me. It was a great period of my life and a great partnership, I'm very grateful.
It's interesting, I recently rewatched Batman Returns for the first time in a while, and it's interesting to realize you were a producer on that film as well, because Batman Returns is kind of secretly an erotic thriller in a lot of ways.
DI NOVI: It is! Yeah, you're right.
I never noticed that as a kid, but it's there.
DI NOVI: Yeah, yeah, I mean, that movie kind of holds up, but it's also funny that at the time, people said it's so dark and so violent, it's so twisted, and now when you look at the Chris Nolan Batmans, it's so kind of timid, but you're right to pick up on kind of that sexuality aspect of it, yeah.
Do you ever want to return to the field of superheroes or did you get your fill between your time on those?
DI NOVI: I mean, listen, I would love to do a female superhero and kind of explore that dynamic and psychology and experience. I think the time has finally come for those movies. I'm rooting for Wonder Woman, I haven't seen it but I'm rooting for it, and I think this point in history is where we should start having these moments work.
Absolutely, I still am a little mind-blown, I would've just assumed there would've been a Wonder Woman movie. I feel like I still have to check myself like, is this the first? Okay.
DI NOVI: Yeah, exactly. I agree.
You were on an adaptation of The Jetsons for rather a while, can you talk about what happened with that project? Or is it still floating?
DI NOVI: Believe it or not, it's still being developed.
DI NOVI: At Warner Brothers.
Is that something you're still attached to?
DI NOVI: Yes, yeah, it's one of those long development processes.
Oh man, you must be passionate about your Jetsons.
DI NOVI: [laughs] You know, I've had a few of those in my life where they come in their own time.
Right, and sci-fi is a tricky thing to get right, I think.
DI NOVI: Yeah, it has shifted, the culture, over the years, of what works and what doesn't and what's lasted and all that, yeah.
So can you tell me any more about this Amblin film you mentioned? Because that sounds pretty great.
DI NOVI: Yeah, it's cool. It's called Highway One, and it's written by Tony Jaswinski, and it's a female action movie about a female veteran who's on a road trip and her child is kidnapped. It's gonna start shooting in September.
Oh, moving right on to the next one, that's great.
DI NOVI: Yeah.
Do you have time for projects to produce in between directing right now?
DI NOVI: Yeah, I have my production company with Alison Greenspan and we have a lot of things in development as producers, so I'm gonna try to keep both those things going.
How are you finding that balance? That seems like a heck of a lot.
DI NOVI: Well, I have a partner. If I didn't have a partner, I couldn't do it, so that's helpful. I think if I hadn't been producing for twenty-five years, it'd be hard, but I've been doing it a long time.
Unforgettable arrives in theaters on April 21.

More analysts agree Apple iPhone 5 unveiling will be the main event, but not Apple's last one for 2012
The analyst issues a research note on Monday morning praising Apple and calling the upcoming announcement the "biggest upgrade in consumer electronics history." While this might sound funny for industry watchers caring only about the hardware, from a financial standpoint White might have a lot of reason.
"The iPhone 4S sold over 4 million units in the first three days, and assuming supply chain constraints aren't a major issue and the seven country rollout ensues, we believe at least 5 million to 5.5 million iPhone 5′s can be sold in this same time frame," White wrote in the note. "With similar caveats, we believe Apple could sell 10 million to 12 million iPhone 5 units in 4QFY12, making our iPhone projections look conservative."
Most recently, Apple stock hit a record high over $680 ashare and with the usual fluctuations around the launch, analysts are bullish about the company's future.

Al Gustin's new book, "Farm Byline" is a good read and it might be a good Christmas gift for someone on your list.
Gustin recently retired from a 45-year career as an ag journalist in North Dakota. The book is a collection of the columns he wrote for the North Dakota Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives between 1974 and today.
The columns in the book I liked best were about his own life on the farm and the everyday life of North Dakota farmer and ranchers – calving in mud-covered coveralls, checking mink and muskrat traplines before dawn, mucking out stock trailers, naming cows, riding horses, watching sunrises and sunsets, praying for rain and praying for rain to stop.
You can see the change in agriculture through Gustin's words. He chronicles weather and prices cycles ($2 wheat and $20 wheat), the times of great optimism (the 1970s) and time of widespread despair (the 1980s)
You can see farming and ranching practices change. Gustin writes of working his own patch of summer fallow back in 1992 when 6.6 million acres in North Dakota were "banked" to save moisture and control weeds. He also writes of no-till and cover crops at the turn of the century.
The change in ag transportation was perhaps one of the biggest over his career, Gustin writes. "As a teenager I hauled barley to town my dad's ¾ ton pickup that held 80 bushels fully loaded.. [and] I have stood on top of a concrete grain silo at one of the first shuttle terminals built in North Dakota and watched a 110 car train being loaded.
There are nuggets of wisdom in some of his columns.
"A long-time implement dealer said … that experience has taught him that when times are good they will get worse; and when things are bad, they'll get better. That's something we should have thought of during the 1970s; and need to remember today," Gustin wrote – in 1986.
Even though the changes in agriculture over the past 40 years contributed to rural population decline, Gustin doesn't argue that the past was better than today, or that today's agriculture is somehow not as good as his father's agriculture.
"There are good things about both," he writes. "Consider where we are …in 2013 farmers have their 60-foot air seeders ready to go, hooked up to their auto-steer tractors, ready to plant some GMO crops – stacked trait crops. They've got some confection sunflower contracted at $32 a hundredweight, and new crop corn priced at the ethanol plants – crops that they'll deliver this fall in their own semi-trucks. They keep track of the markets with text messages on their smart phones. Some cattlemen, meanwhile, are putting electronic ID tags in the new calf crop, hoping to take advantage of premiums being offered for "source and age verified" calves – calves sired by DNA-tested bulls. Some of the heifer calves may be sent to Kazakhstan as bred heifers. It's all very exciting – a great time to be in agriculture."
You can find Gustin's book at local bookstores and online at www.dakotabook.net.

The Supreme Court verdict for the case of Sheikh Rasheed's disqualification is out and it appears that the self-claimed "Pindi Boy" will be back to contest elections from Rawalpindi this year. The SC bench ruled in favour of the AML chief, rejecting the petition for Raheed's disqualification.
In the majority judgment, the judges further narrowed down the strict liability precedent that had been established in the Nawaz Sharif disqualification case. Rasheed's mis-declaration of the money value of his properties was decided not to be in the ambit of disqualification and did not constitute concealment. Justice Azmat Saeed made a distinction between errors in the nomination papers and concealment, making the case on the fact that Rasheed did not gain any benefit by misdeclaring the property, and that he gave a reasonable explanation as to the error in the papers.
The fact that Rasheed was not disqualified is not surprising. The SC has been subtly limiting the strict liability and the broad interpretation of disqualification under A62 and A63. This can be seen in the rescuing of Imran Khan and Khawaja Asif, where the errors in declaration were not deemed to be fatal. It seems that the judges are also wary of imposing strict liability for declaration of assets and have construed the game on technicalities and on a case-by-case basis.
While we're happy that the SC is limiting the ambit of disqualification, the recent judgments decided on technicalities somehow make the interpretation of A62 and 63 even vaguer. When will an error in nomination papers amount to disqualification and who will decide that? The recent judgements on disqualification, where the standard strict liability has been softened and candidates have been forgiven for errors, look like a contradiction next to the Panama judgment, where a wide interpretation for provisions of disqualification was adopted and technicalities were punished.
While the verdict was not unexpected, what was surprising was that this was a 2-1 decision. Justice Qazi Isa, in his dissenting opinion, addressed many of the problems in interpreting the disqualification provisions. He highlighted how the Court dealing with disqualification cases on a case-by-case basis would further confuse matters, and result in unequal and unfair outcomes. Here, he may be alluding to the allegation of bias levied on the Court, and interestingly could be constructed as a slight warning to his fellow judges of the dangers of legal uncertainty and how they undermine the credibility of the electoral process.

Football, in a much broader sense, refers to different sports regarding ball-kicking to various ranges. However, in constrained sense, the game of soccer is constrained to most effective what is popularly known as soccer in a few countries. It is performed via most of the counties inside the global and also very famous with a majority of the sports-loving people.
Let us introduce ourselves to a few football information from historical past and current days.
History of Football
Football has been played from the historical times even though in one of a kind bureaucracy. In other phrases, the sport has evolved dramatically over the years. In accordance with FIFA, the governing frame of world soccer, the modern-day soccer originated from a competitive sport particularly 'Cuju'. There is medical evidence in assist of FIFA's claim. Cuju appears to be the first aggressive sport that worried foot-kicking of the ball thru an open passage into the net.
Cuju method 'kickball'. The recreation changed into included in an army guide as a part of the workout from the third and 4th centuries BC. There are documented evidence of soccer such as activities in Zhan Guo, the Chinese military manual. The guide was compiled among the 3rd in addition to 1st century BC. From the historical evidence, it is now sure that the historic Romans and Greeks used to play specific styles of ball video games that worried use of feet.
Modern-Day Football
With the enlargement of the British Empire, football became delivered and popularized within the areas under direct British influence. Distinct nearby codes had been developed whilst the nineteenth century becomes drawing to an end. The Football League turned into hooked up in England returned in 1888. Football, in its specific paperwork, can be traced at some stage in exclusive periods in history. This league becomes the first of many professional soccer competitions. In the 20th century, distinct varieties of football began growing and sooner or later the game become identified because of the maximum popular recreation international.
Skill in Football
The game of soccer entails loads of tempo and ability. In addition, the players are required to have a strong body to face up to tackling which may be very not unusual because of bodily nature of the game. The sport is performed among two opponent parties, which may be golf equipment in the league or countries at the global stage. Each birthday party has eleven players which include one keeper in the front of the internet. Body tackling is considered a prime skill in football.
Rules of Football
Every form of soccer has an actually defined place of playing the sport. The range of goals decides the winner of a specific match. A crew rankings a purpose while a player from the group unearths the lower back of the combatants' internet. A shot geared toward the warring parties' internet is considered 'intention' if the ball passes the defined goal line as sincerely mentioned in FIFA rulebook. The winner gets 3 points from an in shape while the loser choices up nothing. If the fit is a draw among the two participating groups, each of them earns one factor from the game.
Soccer information from local, countrywide in addition to world football could be very interesting and soccer fans constantly hold a steady watch on the sport.

|Bugatti B-1 Single Torch Lighter
The Bugatti B-1 is a compact little powerhouse, delivering a single jet torch for proper cigar roasting. The B-1 is stylish as to be expected with the name Bugatti being associated with the lighter. One of the first things I noticed while handling the B-1 is the weight. Being that I am a big fan of hefty lighters, this gave me an instant good first impression.
The body of the lighter is done in a gunmetal finish, with stainless steel polished sides, as well as real hex screws located in the corners. The hex screws give the B-1 that little extra touch of class and manliness. Prior to lighting your favorite cigar, you have the option of using one of two different sized integrated cigar punches. The two punches are revealed by simply flipping down the side as seen in the picture below.
In general CLR finds single torch lighters just adequate for lighting most "average" size ring gauges without too much hassle. The Bugatti B-1 is no different, it should be able take on your cigar lighting regimen for years to come. That said, there have been several readers that have reached out to me not finding the same lighting consistencies that I had found.
FIRE IT UP Results:Pros - nice overall size, aesthetics, integrated dual cigar punches
- 10 back to back lighting attempts, 10 successful lights.
- 10 back to back lighting attempts, 10 successful lights.
Consideration - pricey for a single torch lighter
