This is my baby girl Chip =] She goes everywhere with me and loves to go for rides in my Jeep with the top down. Her new favorite activity though is chasing me up and down the street while I ride my bike, it is too funny.05/09/12 at 3:13 pm #6495

I've got 3…. all are rescues from not so great situations
This is Piggy, she's about 5 yrs old, Heinz 57 Mutt, lol…. Rottie/German Shepherd/Bull Mastiff/Newfoundland/Boxer something mix, lol. Total sweetheart and still a puppy at heart
Piggy had to have hip surgery back in November for severe hip dysplasia in her left hip. She's 100% better now though and back to her usual self
This is Riley… he's about 1.5 yrs old now, Lab mix of some sort. Found him and his sister (Piper) abandoned and literally almost dead living under an old empty building near my house (dehydrated, severely underweight, and severe case of worms… vet said it prob would have been a couple weeks before their stomachs ruptured) . They were about 8 weeks old when I found them
And this is Piper, Rileys sister
Everybody together
Group shot…. they
did this 100% entirely on their own, I had absolutely nothing to do with setting the pose
And a couple from when I first got Riley & Piper when they were tiny. Piggy completely went into mama dog mode and started taking care of them
Riley has graduated from is beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes, and will soon be going in to get his CGC (canine good citizens) certificate, and after that taking the test to (hopefully) become a certified therapy dog. Piper has graduated beginner and intermediate classes, and is currently in the advanced class and hopefully will be graduating that soon (she's still got some social anxiety issues we're working on…. she's shy). Piggy is currently in intermediate class and should graduating that I think tomorrow, and moving up to advance class. All 3 are extremely smart and well bahaved
Couple videos
Playtime in the back yard when they were younger
They go outside one at a time, and they know the exact order they go out in (same order every time)
Sorry for so many pics…. my dogs are like my kids, so I've got TONS, lol. Here's a thread with some more pics of them all as they've grown

@admin I was really back and forth about doing the ear crop but then I figured he has to look like a Pit. It might have bothered him a bit but I dont think he notices it anymore. I'll try to get present pics of him.. he's about 3 times bigger then the last shot.
@jesssssss Wow that dogs a little cutie!
@thirdgenlxi wow you got them freakin trained! man I'm trying that on my pit but he doesn't listen at all when he is excited!. but wow i think thats great that you took them in!05/09/12 at 5:39 pm #6549
@rome83 I don't know, I just couldn't do it, but yeah I agree.. if you're going to get a pit, get a pit, rather than a meaner looking lab lol I guess if I got a pit it would have to be done already.05/09/12 at 6:57 pm #6565

Wow, beautiful dogs guys!
We have three pups. The mom, Lily was the Boggle (beagle- Boston mix) my wife got in Reno when I was supposed to get a bike back in 2007, that was the trade off. But I had to wait until 2011 before I got my bike-haha.
Then she and her mom rescued 3 flea infested brothers, all Bostons, from a puppy mill here in Mississippi. They went to get one and took all three. Lou is the one we kept and he's the dad05/09/12 at 9:58 pm #6627

Great dogs everyone the all look adorable!!!
here is my little girl she is 6 months old full bread Siberian Husky . My wife picked her up at 7 weeks old for a present for me while i was still deployed because she is my dream dog!
Her she is about 20 min of brushing all the fur off her….
Here she is waiting for food from daddy in the kitchen
Enjoying all the smells on a long car ride
Here is she when my wife first picked her up
and here is my favorite picture of my baby girl with my late Dalmation Domino… I had to put domino to sleep 2 weeks ago. He was 17 yrs old, and was battling cancer for 3 yrs… Finally it took a turn for the worse and he slowly faded to the point where he had gone deaf and almost blind. He was my dog and i raised him to the amazing dog he grew up to be. I had 3 dalmations at a point and Domino was the youngest and only hearing dalmation so he set the lead and took car of the other ones. I refused to let anyone but me put my poor Domino down. Within 2 months he went from beiing huge and 100lbs to skin and bones and 50 lbs on the day i put him down.
RIP Domino I miss you buddy!
And another of Domino when he was still healthy05/10/12 at 6:42 am #6728
@09redblackrr I'm really sorry about your poor Domino! It must have been the hardest to do after so much history but amazing new pup!! I love husky's and will get one one day! maybe after the pit… great looking dogs though!05/11/12 at 2:26 am #6985

My 7 year old purebred Siberian Husky. He is the best dog I've ever had. Got him about 5 years ago.05/14/12 at 4:05 pm #7896
Holy hell.. that is one beautiful dog. I've always (and still do) wanted to own a Siberian Husky. I heard they were a pain in the ass to train but once they are trained, they are the best dogs on the planet. My favorite dog by far.05/14/12 at 4:05 pm #7897
My last pics were sideways so I figured I would post one more.05/14/12 at 4:47 pm #7908
Thanks admin. I had always wanted one too. My business partner gave him to me because he had to move and couldn't takim along. The best thing you can do for a husky is send them to obedience school as a puppy. It is well worth every penny, Huskies are not the easiest dogs to train. And also, make sure its got plenty of room to run.05/15/12 at 4:08 am #7965
WOW gorgeous husky!! Its the Siberian husky's that have the curly tails right?
I'm also looking forward to having one of these in my life time as well.05/15/12 at 4:44 am #7975
mactacularRegistered MemberRideCBR AddictPoints: 9,916
well…lets see if I can get through this whole thing without bawwing my eyes out…this is my dog Ace..well..not my dog anymore, but I still consider him mine…he was my first dog that I ever got on my own, after I moved out..me and my ex got him "together"
unfortunately for me and Ace, his mommy HATED him!
this was me and him at the park shortly after I got him…
he grew SO fast…I got him at 8 weeks, he was literally the SMARTEST dog ever, by 12 weeks old, he could do TONS of tricks, and I could point at his cage and say "kennel" and he would go inside of it and sit down.
this is just a random pic I thought was cool of him..lol..purple eyes
I always had him wearing his red polo…cause it was so boss…HAHA…this picture wasnt set up at all, he was just playing with his little rope toys "his favorite" and went and sat down on a pillow in my room with one of them….as soon as I took the picture, its almost like he winked for the camera..LOL
I miss this dog SO much…he was $1200 because of his bloodline…the EX made me get rid of him…wish I would have gotten rid of her instead, since it was gonna happen anyway….I ended up selling him to a friend for $100. now the friend was telling me that he has like $500 in him and blah blah shots and what not, but he will sell him back for $800 since hes going to the army…what the fuck dude? I had over $2000 in this dog….and sold him just to make a cruel biitch happy with me…
sorry for ranting…..this is him right before I got rid of him…he was only 18 weeks old, but he was already my best friend…
and last but not least, the only picture that the current owner has sent me of him…
I wish I could get him back… :/05/15/12 at 5:07 am #7979
@mactacular that suck man! my pit is my first dog that i bought and raised on my own to and i would straight up be devastated if i had to get rid of him.. I'm at that point where I dont know what I'd do without him.. I can't get enough of him everyday and he the same… I love that pits are a one owner dog and I think he is at the age where he wouldnt take another owner (9 months old) and mine too is a pure breed staffordshire terrier and I got him for almost free… but have put $500+ into him so far so ya that dog means a lot to me and i hope you can get your best friend back someday too..05/15/12 at 8:27 pm #8115
I love huskys. I will have one in the future.
I have a German Shepherd lab mix(chubbs)
And Brendal pit(chunks)
My wife has a Chinese shar pai(Lilly)
My wife and I use to rescue pits before we had kids.

Siberians have curly tails and multi colored eyes. And Mac, sorry to hear about Ace bro. Dogs become like a part of the family. I had a brindle pit years ago and had to give him away due to moving with the ex wife a few years ago. It broke my heart so I know exactly what you mean.05/18/12 at 11:15 am #8568

Here's my dog Chance. We got him from a rescue. His previous owner decided he was over weight and stopped feeding him.
This is him the day We brought him home. He was 35lbs. He's now 75 lbs.
Although it's not a dog it's one of our pets. My daughter's horse Spirit.

I love looking at all your pets……..for the first time in my life I'm pet free. When I left my ex in the summer of 2011 I couldn't take any of my dogs with me. (due to renting and our daughter wanted them to stay on our farm anyways) One day (hopefully soon-ish) I will have another dog. Thanks for posting all your doggie pics. I enjoy looking at them alot.02/24/13 at 10:07 pm #28359

BTW Columbus and Chicago people I really enjoyed both your cities, I was impressed by both...even if I never ever ever want to drive in downtown Chicago! I went there to show off the Damier Saleya, but he said he hated the Damier print so I tried on the Speedy (which I think a 27.5 would be perfect on me ), the Popincort Haut, and the Bat Vertical... but it all came down to this: Isn't she a beaut? Sadly I couldn't take home a gift box, but I did get cute bags! The Bh was my airport carry-on and what a workhorse it is! What was stuck inside it I also picked up for myself the Orange Perf plat: I bought it as something I could just shove misc items in or stick my cles/phone/lipgloss and quickly transfer it from bag to bag. I love it! The misc stuff inside it My DH even carried her when I got tired at the Science Center in Chicago. LOL It almost makes a great guy bag, too. Almost!

Why You're Not Married...yet: Chapter 2
This week we are on chapter 2: You're Shallow.
The Single Girl's perspective (20 LA Wannabe)
You're Shallow. This thought had crossed my mind prior to reading McMillan's book and I examined my own depth in another BLOW OFF post. I mean, I am shallow in some ways. I love Birkins, Bellinis and Beverly Hills Housewives. But I also want a long-lasting, meaningful relationship too. Back to McMillan's book. She defines shallow as perfectionism. As in only paying attention to men who have what we want or what we think we want e.g. the substantial salary, the nice house and the great body. Here's my first red flag. Is it wrong to want any of those things? Of course there needs to be substance behind them but does any little girl daydream about having to work three jobs because her husband doesn't make enough money? Or living in a one-bedroom apartment forever? Or making love to the Hunchback of Notre Dame? Dream big. It's like calling someone shallow because they aspire to be a CEO instead of a life-long assistant.
I want to be clear, nothing is wrong with any of these things. People that do whatever they need to survive are brave. But aren't we encouraged to dream big? And if we're encouraged to dream big with our careers, why can't we dream big about our life partner? Now back to the men. McMillan gives us some relevant facts about men in relation to shallow women. They really don't care if we are wearing the latest fashions or if we know how to French braid our hair. If a man is obsessed with your appearance you're most likely a trophy wife trotted out at cocktail parties instead of a partner. And if you're reading this book you want a partnership, not a Girl's Guide To Gold-digging. She also references a study from UT that men looking for short-term companionship showed more interest in a woman's body while men looking for long-term relationships were more interested in a woman's face so get to your esthetician ASAP- kidding!
McMillan recommends that women give up the idea of getting what you want and instead getting what you need. So maybe Mick Jagger & Co. knew what they were talking about. Next time someone asks me what flavor I'd like I'm going to reply Cherry Red without hesitation. But here's where I really disagree with McMillan. She claims that the shallow girl is often ruled by her need for chemistry. And what exactly is wrong with chemistry? I wouldn't want to live in a world without it and would never date someone I didn't have it with. I think McMillan downplays chemistry because she considers it to be juvenile and superficial. That's where I call bullshit. Chemistry is an important part of the physical world whether it be between chemicals in a lab or two people meeting. No reaction is perfect. You just need to accept the flaws that come with chemistry and understand that you may create an explosion until you find another element that completes the perfect compound. My assessment is that it's okay to be a little shallow as long as you leave room to grow and create depth in your relationships. I'd rather that than a partner with no chemistry. I think we all know that no one is perfect. Don't date the guy because he's driving a Beemer, Benz or Bentley. But if you are attracted to a man physically who's to say that you couldn't fall in love and grow old together?
The Married Girl's Perspective (Saaara)
There were a lot of good takeaways in this chapter. Not only does McMillan chide women for being shallow, but she points out that some of the things we *think* we want in a partner stem from how focused we are on how others will perceive us based on the person we're dating. This was an important thing for me to hear as a married person. I've definitely been one to fixate on whether or not other people like my significant other. Even though the life partner and I have been together for over seven years and are on our second year of marriage, I'm still always worried about how my friends and family members will perceive him. I even brief him before we go to parties and double dates on conversations that are off limits, etc so that he doesn't accidentally rub someone the wrong way. I need to let go of this shallow side of me. I know how lucky I am to have him as my husband. I see all of his wonderful qualities on a the daily. It's actually really liberating to allow myself to stop worrying about how everyone else feels about him.
Now back to the more typical definition of shallow. I've honestly never been the type of girl that cared about the salary of the guys I've dated. Maybe because most of my dating life was in my early twenties when I wasn't as concerned with settling down or with things like mortgage payments. I've also been attracted to the artsy type and most of those guys make no money. It mattered more that they were passionate and ambitious and less that they were rolling in it. BUT I ended up with a guy that's not an artist and has a good job with a good salary (and don't get me wrong, that's really nice too). For what it's worth, he's always said that one of the things that attracted him to me was that I didn't care about material things as much as other girls he'd dated.
I've also dated a lot of guys that wouldn't be considered universally attractive. If you looked at a photo of them, you might be: really?? But their personalities won me over and made them way more attractive in time. I remember one guy I was super into for a long time, I was super iffy about in the beginning in terms of his looks. (my one caveat is that I do want them to have some sense of style. If that makes me shallow, so be it.) That said, I totally agree with 20 LA Wannabe that we shouldn't lower our standards or forgo chemistry all together. But I don't think that McMillan means to tell women not to dream big-- I think she's telling us to dream deep. (omg, that sounds so cheesy!)
One of the best pieces of advice I thought she gave in this chapter was in regards to physical attraction. She said there's three types of people for everyone. #1 the "oh, hell no" --the person you're flat out not attracted to at all. #2 the "oh, hell yes"-- the person you would totally get naked with. #3 the "hmmm...I wonder" -- the person you're not totally sure about. You can't really picture kissing them, but you're not ruling it out completely. McMillan's advice is to date more #3s. "go for a guy you're interested in, not necessarily super hot for." I'll be honest (and don't hate me for this)-- I ended up with a #2 (who I thought was just going to be a fling) But, and I'm not being insecure by saying this-- just stating the facts: before we hooked up, I was a #3 for him. And I'm proud of that. I'm glad I was a "hmmm...I wonder" that turned into a "Oh, hell yes." So, the shallow thing goes both ways guys and gals.
Until next week when we tackle Chapter 3: You're a Slut.

Lots to think about. Although I don't think I'm shallow so I don't think I could relate to this chapter.ReplyDelete
And I totally feel you on the "prep talking points" before going out on a double date, etc. Although for me it's all about reminding J of people's names, and their histories, since he forgets EVERYTHING. Haha.
Question: is this book for girls who WANT to get married but are unsure of why they're not? Or is it more informational for women not married in general?
I think it's mostly for women that want to be married or in a serious committed relationship. Because she is providing a lot of tips and suggestions for things they could be doing differently. I think the notion of writing a "how to" book on getting married is really stupid, but i don't find her tone condescending or in the vein of a cosmo-article. And i like that her advice can be applied to being in a relationship too.ReplyDelete

Social media is a great tool for any business, but only when it's being used properly. There are many brands out there that simply use social media as a way of constantly inundating their audience with a series of generic news updates or links, and quite frankly, they're doing it wrong. Social media is not a mouthpiece, it's a party line, and everyone has a voice and a place in the conversation. If you're not creating thought-provoking and engaging content within your social spheres, your ROI will be virtually non-existent.
The Old Way of Thinking Needs to Change
With traditional advertising brands didn't have to think about creating a conversation around their collateral. All they had to do was craft a message, print the message, and pay a boatload of money to ensure that you saw it on your screen or in your magazines. This one-sided way of communication has been the norm for decades, so it's easy to see why so many brands are having trouble keeping up in the social media age.
These companies are trying desperately to hold on to the old model because of the security it afforded them, and I get that, but if you're going to go all-in with social media, the idea of security should've been abandoned long ago. You're not allowed to dictate what the customer says or feels when it comes to your product or service anymore. Your job is to deliver the message and then field the reactions that come in from it in a meaningful way that benefits both parties.
This is a Pardon, Not a Death Sentence
The idea that social can be evil or somehow destructive to your brand is 100% self-made. When done properly social can transform your brand in ways you've never even dreamed of. You're now able to connect with your audience in a way that you've never had before, and you have unprecedented access to their information which should be worth its weight in gold. Think back ten years ago. Did anybody want to be friends with Coca-Cola? Were people willing to share a commercial with hundreds of their closest friends? No, they weren't. I think this is what makes social media so powerful today. You're not responsible for creating massively successful ad campaigns. You're responsible for creating an ad campaign that speaks to just one person, and they automatically make it a success by sharing that message for you at zero cost to you.
This should be liberating for your brand, but I understand that many people have a hard time coming to grips with this reality. Many old-school marketers believe in being a control freak, and they think that social media is a death sentence. It's not. You just have to understand the conversational nature of what's happening and figure out a way to incorporate that into your brand's strategy.
The Humanization of the Internet
If you're still trying to figure out exactly how to connect to your audience using social media, the easiest thing I can tell you is to approach your messaging with a sense of humanity. People want to know there's another human on the end of the line when they're communicating with brands online. One of the most frustrating things that's ever been invented is the automated voice prompts that most companies have on their phone systems these days. Every single time I get one of those things, I immediately hit zero fervently until I'm sent to an actual human being. When I reach out to a brand on Facebook or Twitter, I'm looking for that same thing. I don't want a canned response with a link to your contact form. I want some empathy, conversation, and customer service.
Even though airlines are notoriously bad at customer service, they are one of the best (in my opinion) when it comes to social media. Sure they pump out a series of sales tweets now and then, but for the most part their job is fielding messages from pissed off travelers all over the world. One of the things I like about the way airlines handle their social customer service is the fact that they append the initials of the customer service agent to the end of the tweet or Facebook message. At first I didn't know what the initials meant, but once I figure out it was the initials of the person I was talking to (they actually called me on the phone) I have since started to take comfort in knowing that there's an actual person trying to help me on the other end of the line. That small detail means more than you think to most people.
This is the type of thing you need to be doing on social media. You need to analyze your audience and figure out what their pain points are with your brand and its messaging, and then find ways to interject some realness into it. There's already a world of distance between you and them because of the nature of this type of communication, so you need to be doing everything you can to make the experience of digital seem less robotic. Otherwise you're just repeating the same old story we've seen for decades, and that is what makes us change the channel to begin with.
I realize that I approach social media marketing from a much more holistic angle than most do, but that doesn't mean that I'm wrong. I don't believe you have to sacrifice your brand or your conversions in order to create a more engaging social presence. In fact, I'd argue that you'll see more conversions and gain access to more valuable data by doing so. The days of big ad buys and paid focus groups are over. Crowd-sourced information and conversations are the new norm now, and it's time for you and your business to get on board.

- Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua seemed to annoy Kenyans on Twitter with a tweet he posted in regards to MP Francis Nyenze's death
- Many tweeps accused Mutua of using the chance to spread his politics instead of mourning appropriately
Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua found himself on the wrong side of netizens after his tweet rubbed them the wrong way.
Mutua took to Twitter to mourn the death of Kitui West Member of Parliament Francis Nyenze after his death on Wednesday, December 6.
I am saddened by the passing of Hon. Nyenze - a good man, a friend and a voice of reason. He was a smart & diplomatic leader who cared about his people. He told me he was fed up with sycophancy perpetuated in our region and supported my politics of development. I will miss him.December 6, 2017
Nyenze had been battling cancer of the colon for many years and later suffered from pneumonia.
Kenyans on Twitter bashed him with most saying he was thumping his chest rather than mourning the loss.
Mutua, who just announced his wish to be president in 2022 beat National Super Alliance's (NASA) Wavinya Ndeti to be Machakos county boss in the August 8 elections.
Here are some of the responses his tweet evoked.
Your second last sentence kills the mood of mourning— Juliande (@amimofestus) December 6, 2017
Were you mourning or trying to brag? A word of condolences was just enough..Wewe bado tosha unga bana— Ondari Roberts (@ROBERTSONDARI) December 6, 2017
Cant you just say R.I.P, must you go out and add petty messages on hearsay.— Natural Mystic (@mulikevs) December 6, 2017
How NOT to express condolences: It's not about you or your politics of development. Has selfishness, exemplified in the pursuit of political power, made us all lose our collective marbles?— Blessed????????Kenya (@upuzi_wacha) December 6, 2017
I also support your development agenda but since we are mourning it's not wise to provoke some of your constituents who are also mourning— Ndungu Gachane (@Ndungugachane) December 6, 2017
You should have told us what he told you before he died. Nkt.
RIP Hon Nyenze— Benson itabari (@BensonItabari) December 6, 2017
You never said it when he was alive. Why should we believe what you are saying?— Awiti Otieno™ (@awitiotieno) December 6, 2017
It doesn't matter what he was fed-up with and whether or not he shared with you the whole thing. Just say RIP and the message will be clear. All these that you are saying will not add anything— Tovenomondi (@tovenomondi) December 6, 2017
Do you have to introduce politics in a message of condolence?? Just say pole and people will appreciate.— jay mairura (@jay_inc) December 6, 2017
Very peculiar condolence message. You watered it down with your unending desire for glory. Funny it comes from à communication expert of high standing as you !— Mwanahabari Shupavu (@shupavumedia) December 6, 2017
I think sending condolence message is enough. Rip Hon. Nyenze— philiph wambua (@philiphwambua) December 6, 2017
Sometimes Mutua behaves like a spent cartridge. Why not just send a good message of condolence— Hon Anangwe (@Hon_Anangwe) December 6, 2017

Okay I been watching the CGTN channel on YouTube a live China TV Network that I like since I like to hear about China News and China Culture. Also the Spring Festival 2017 is going on right now of The Year of the Rooster, on CGTN.
The China New Year's goes on for 7 days, so a week. Also this YouTube link is in English so that's good because I don't speak Chinese or understand it and people who like me who can't either. This is good for you if you want to know what's happening in China right now. I also been having a Chinese online girlfriend that I been talking to over a half of a year now. I not going to get into much details about her, but she's a fashion model, who been trying to do her own company, that she been putting a lot time into.
I'm been thinking if I have an online Chinese girlfriend I should keep up on what's happening in China once in awhile, like now with the Chinese Spring Festival. "I haven't been talking to her in a few days because of the Chinese Spring Festival that's been going on right now. I'm thinking she's with her family right now and enjoying the Chinese New Year's of The Year of the Rooster with her family and her love ones'." This is my 3rd Chinese girlfriend that I had on Zestlove that I don't really like Zestlove because of the Chinese Culture of men buying their girlfriends or friends gifts on Zestlove that is pricey, so that why I don't like Zestlove, also you need to watch for scammers on any Dating Sites because their people that will act like they love you so they can get money from you.
So that why Dating Sites, you Should really watch out for of any Dating Sites even the Hook Up Sites.
"I'm not saying all dating sites or people on them are scammers, but you should really watch out what you during on them, also if you the one's who feel real lonely, because scammers go for the people that feel lonely the most because they are easier, and let face it, 'it's true if you feel lonely, or been over heartbreak, or heartbroken right now, even if you learn about love to young, and had took-en a brake from it, and giving it an other shot at it.' We are the one's that scammers look for the most and hit the hardest that can leave us in a real bad spot with our money problems, also if we been having money problems as it is."
Also the Hook Up Sites, you should really look out for, if you just want sex, because those sex sites give you so much free and their is a free trail that they do screw people with, because is for (x-many days), but after you work on your profile and chat with people.
That when they charge people on their Gold Membership, Premium Membership, or whatever they call their memberships, that when they screw people. "So you really should watch out for these sites and using your debit cards or credit cards on them, because they will get you with a charge, if you don't watch out for them. They also will show people that are members, that are around your area, that really might not be in your area. Just to get you to join, 'so really watch out for that also.' Also people that might be chatting with you, might know this also, or they can be fake profiles on these dating sites. So just beware on them, also if you like sex, or an sex addicted, or cheating on your partner. Just think about it before you go on them.

App Store Numbers
David Smith, App Store Longevity and Freshness:
It is, however, a bit staggering to think that these numbers mean that there are around 300,000 apps on the Store currently that have seen an update in the past 3 months. It took over 2 years for the App Store to even reach 300k apps listed. That speaks to me of a very wide developer community clamoring for attention in the App Store.
The percentage of apps that don't get updates may be smaller than you think. Later in the article David Smith puts the percentage of effectively-abandoned apps at 40%, which is a smaller number than I would have expected. (I would have guessed 60%.)

Stakeout's low profile temple and deeper lens shape make tough and dependable smooth and easy. The lenses wrap to extend the protection around your eyes and provide clear peripheral vision, something you might not even notice until it comes in handy. It's easy to wear Stakeout sunglasses no matter how long the day gets, because the semi-rimless shape and super thin lens make for a nearly weightless effect.
Siege's rugged detailing and full-rim rectangular frame shape incorporate additional side cup coverage to produce a look all its own with great protection. And since it's made from incredibly tough yet resilient TR90 NZZ, you know these can take some punishment and come out unscathed.
Squall sunglasses usher in the next generation of bold, aggressive protection while exceeding all ANSI Z87.2+ standards, including (but not limited to) high mass and high impact protection. The distinctive wrap style curves around your temples for a fantastic fit and feel. Its co-injected construction fuses two materials, rubber and TR90 NZZ, for a more durable nosepad, browbar and temples, adding even more flexibility and comfort.

Thankfully I now live in a place where you can actually feel the changing of the season, and it's hit this week. Granted we're not talking a dramatic change in weather, but since I get up so early for work in the morning (& wow, has work been busy), I'm awake to feel the humidity fade and the crisp cool air creep back in. ColdLogic is ready with a few new fall releases, including this Matta sweater shown above and an adorable sweater dress/jacket combo that is all over the blogs right now.

I was belatedly thinking about New Year's Resolutions / Goals earlier this week. Last year, I seem to remember, I had many - maybe even one a month. This year? Well, I have enough to worry about. I've been promoted, temporarily, so I'm doing and learning a new job while trying to teach someone else my old job. All with two very tight deadlines coming up. So why pile on a diet, or an ambition to read more, or an exercise plan? That'll just add more stress. Instead, I have a very simple monthly mission:
Six days down, twenty-four to go!

Suggest Me A Camcorder
Hi Guys,
I'm going to be attending a gaming convention known as E3 this year and am going need a high-definition camcorder to accompany me. I originally created a topic on the AVS Forum, but they suggested I come here as a lot members have tested out the variety of handheld cameras.
I was thinking the Sony Bloggie, the Sanyo VPC-CG20, or the Kodak Zi8. The only thing that bugs me about the last two is the fact that they don't have storage space in them to begin with.
I have a $200 limit. Help me out.

For recording video at a convention, then using an external microphone is highly recommended to reduce the pickup of background noise, and the Kodak Zi8 is the only one which offers an external mic jack. (The Creative Vado HD 3rd Generation does as well, but it's harder to find and more expensive as the Zi8.)
With the Zi8 at the lowest online price ($148), a 4 GB SDHC card (street price $12.99 or online $7 ~ $8), a Radio Shack lavalier microphone ($26.49), and a 1/8" mono to stereo adapter ($2.69), you'll have the ideal setup for right around $200 total (depending on tax and shipping).
This video demonstrates using the Zi8 with the Radio Shack mic and various other external microphones, in comparison to the built-in mic:

I saw this on Amazon for $16: http://www.amazon.com/Nady-SP-4C-NAD...4139106&sr=1-3
Would this be a better mic?
There's this Sony Mic, too: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Uni-Direc...4139106&sr=1-5
Edit: I just realized that these mics are pretty old. Basically what I'm asking is if there is a better mic than the one you suggested. I'd rather a mic like the two links I've just provided - where you can pass it back and forth easily.

I don't know how well the Zi8 works with a dynamic microphone. I'll have to do some testing on mine. Dynamic microphones have a lower output level than electret condenser microphones, but maybe if you turn up the Zi8's mic gain adjustment the audio will come out OK.

Guys I've been looking into the Zi8, but I hear it only has about an hour and a half long battery?
Is this true? I'll be at the event all day and while I won't be filming for all seven to eight hours, I'll need something that lasts.

the zi8 does not last 1hr 30 min'
The HD1080P will give you just about a hr, with EIS OFF and face detect OFF, with it on deffently 50 minutes.
using WVGA and EIS OFF, and Face OFF 1hr 57 min and sec's
As Vwest said, its supereasy to take out and replace. but it is aswel super easy to add a Ext powersource to deliever add'l minutes.
I did this on my trip, and used a ext powersource, i should have purchased it from Kodak LOL ut when I had4aa as the backup it did just fine
how long did I get. the full battery of the kodak, and the full batt of 4aa's I say a good 2 plus 3 hrs. on/off.
I as well carried 2 extra and 4AA's did nottake any room up.
These are Pc low Budget Economy Hybrid camcorders Great for the Daytime Outdoor shots

Zi8 is cheap. Sanyo fh1a(version) or HD2000a, are deluxe cameras. Sony has newer backlit sensor with 17mb/s AVCHD full hd 60i video on it's latest digital still camera (bloggie can do some funky surround vision effect, but otherwise I would not recommend it). that is probably how they stack up in terms of picture quality, Sony the best. Encoding bit rate performance for editing and latter use, probably 12mb/s+ for fullHD, maybe 9mb/s for 720p60, for these types of camera (h264/avchd, mpeg2*2, mepg1 times 4+).
Three things to look out for at a convention, microphone input, macro for closeups of gadgets, and low light ability (extra low light ability usually means less grainy images when light is better). The forth thing, for when you go outside again, or filming bright displays and monitors (not that these won't flicker a lot anyway), is latitude. A number of cameras may darken the surrounding image because a bright display is within eyesight). On a good camera you might be able to set exposure to avoid this, or tell it to ignore it, but on cheap camera, it just figures it is there and darken things to compensate as you move the camera around. With more latitude, it will not darken things as much, or so little it is not much of a concern. These things are a concern for professional camera owners as well as armatures, as they are things the viewer notices. If there are cheaper Sanyo's that have these features, and better than aptina sensor then they are worth a look.
The aptina sensors used in the zi8 and many others, really needs to improve to keep up with Sony's technology (an older version is used by the Sanyo HD2000/FH1).

Forgot, buy multiple batteries, charge them all before you go. Some cameras can take a connection from a battery pack, but far to complex for a simple once in a while job.
To save more battery life you could lower the quality of your footage. I am pretty sure I get extra battery life when I lower the quality of my HSHD, is it that way on these other cameras Fishey? If you are doing youtube,. or whatever, check out it's max settings (I don't know what they are). If 720p30, drop it down to 720p30 (on the better amberlla based cameras, like the zi8, you should get enough data rate for a nice image). If you don't want HD, then go for VGA+ resolutions (though they are often the same data rate at 60fps in many of the ambarella cameras).

I'm buying the following:
Kodak Zi8
TechFuel battery (x2) (if you know of a cheaper battery that works the same, let me know - these are currently $10 on Amazon)
TechFuel travel battery charger
16GB SDHC Memory Card
Now I just need to know which external microphone to get. I'd prefer something cheap but with a long wire and good quality.
How's this? http://www.amazon.com/Sony-ECM-DS70P...5146594&sr=8-3

AID FOR AIDS' Cuanto Sabes? preventive HIV education program, which trains hundreds of thousands of adolescents across Latin America and the Caribbean as peer educators in the fight against HIV transmission, is undergoing a major expansion in the Dominican Republic.
On a weeklong visit to the country earlier this month, a team from AFAI's offices in New York and Venezuela, conducted a series of trainings for new "Cuanto Sabes?" facilitators and teachers, as well as two new members of the board of directors of our Dominican affiliate.
"Cuanto Sabes? has been operating successfully in Dominican Republic since 2006," noted Dr. Jaime Valencia, AFAI director of operations, who led the training effort. "But, as a result of this latest effort, we will now be able to expand the program to reach thousands of additional students throughout the country, and improve the quality of the teaching itself."
The first two days of the visit focused on training a dozen facilitators, who are charged with training the "Cuanto Sabes?" schoolteachers. Three of those 12 new facilitators were selected to become part of the AFA Dominican Republic team, while the remaining nine have been given the task of implementing the "Cuanto Sabes?" program within their own secondary schools. New board members also went through the basic facilitator training.
Following that two-day session, a three-day training was held for more than 20 teachers, who will be returning to their schools to work directly with students, training them to become peer educators and multiplying agents in their communities, and coordinating all the peer-to-peer interventions conducted by those adolescents.
"We were encouraged by the high quality of the professional educators we encountered during the training," said Valencia. "Not only in terms of their teaching skills, but the commitment they are willing to make to further the goals of our program."
In a related development, Valencia met with executives from Megacentro, a major Dominican retailer, which has expressed interest in working with AID FOR AIDS to establish and implement corporate HIV policies. Those policies would address such issues as HIV education; gender equality, and the discrimination commonly faced by people living with HIV/AIDS in the corporate workplace.
"It was a very fruitful meeting," concluded Valencia. "We're very much interested in helping Megacentro come up with effective HIV policies and procedures, and we welcome interest from other corporations in Dominican Republic or any other nation in the region. HIV education does not have to occur only in classrooms."

Associate Professor in Political Science at the University of Bologna and a Lecturer in Politics at Royal Holloway, University of London
Co-Hosted with the Department of Political Science.
Social media provide citizens with new opportunities to engage with politics as well as a new context for political information and participation. By blurring the boundaries between consumption, distribution, and production of political content, social media challenge classic definitions of political participation and demand more inclusive approaches that are sensitive to the connections between lower- and higher-threshold political activities. By facilitating informal expressive exchanges between users, web 2.0 platforms enable individuals to express themselves politically, an act that may have important implications not only for those who get exposed to these communications, but for the senders of these messages themselves. These environments are also tightly intertwined with people's everyday lives and real-space relationships, suggesting that strict distinctions between the online and offline realms are less and less relevant and should be replaced with hybrid thinking about how these spaces interact in users' experiences.

Declaration by the Presidency on behalf of the European Union - closure of Radio Sagamartha (27th november)
The EU continues to be deeply concerned by the actions of the Government of Nepal to impose and enforce repressive restrictions on the media in Nepal. As we have said previously, the amendments contained in the new Media Ordinance infringe the universal right to freedom of expression.
Accordingly, we condemn the seizure of radio equipment on 27 November from the Sagarmatha FM station in Kathmandu by the security forces.
The EU again calls upon the Government of Nepal to uphold the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal and allow the people of Nepal their universal right to freedom of expression.

Code Edits
The following edits are applicable to this code:
Manifestation diagnoses Manifestation diagnoses
Manifestation codes describe the manifestation of an underlying disease, not the disease itself, and therefore should not be used as a principal diagnosis.
Diagnostic Related Groups
The diagnosis code I79.0 is grouped in the following Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG V35.0)
Convert to ICD-9 General Equivalence Map
The ICD-10 and ICD-9 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
- 441.9 - Aortic aneurysm NOS (approximate) Approximate Flag
The approximate flag is on, indicating that the relationship between the code in the source system and the code in the target system is an approximate equivalent.
Index of Diseases and Injuries
References found for the code I79.0 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries:
- Type 1 Excludes Notes: Type 1 Excludes Notes
A type 1 Excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
- syphilitic aneurysm (A52.01)
- Code First: "Code first"
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists, there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation.

Information for Patients
Aortic Aneurysm
An aneurysm is a bulge or "ballooning" in the wall of an artery. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to other parts of the body. If an aneurysm grows large, it can burst and cause dangerous bleeding or even death.
Most aneurysms are in the aorta, the main artery that runs from the heart through the chest and abdomen.
There are two types of aortic aneurysm:
- Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) - these occur in the part of the aorta running through the chest
- Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) - these occur in the part of the aorta running through the abdomen
Most aneurysms are found during tests done for other reasons. Some people are at high risk for aneurysms. It is important for them to get screening, because aneurysms can develop and become large before causing any symptoms. Screening is recommended for people between the ages of 65 and 75 if they have a family history, or if they are men who have smoked. Doctors use imaging tests to find aneurysms. Medicines and surgery are the two main treatments.

Jan Mlčoch on his MALEX photo series, created in collaboration with Maria Gornalova and Alexey Yurakov in Liberec:
I was asked by one Prague gallery about an exhibition of ballet photos this March.
First I looked at the pictures I already have and realised that I have not enough of them. So I sent several shooting requests to dancers in Czech theatres. Maria and Alexey answered right away and they were ready to shoot the following day. Quite a rush!
And the haste was successfull. Next evening I arrived to Liberec where Maria and Alexey dance at the local theatre. Right after the ballet lesson they were doing for children we started our session. First I showed them the previous pictures from past shootings of other dancers and they liked them. You could see these pictures in this e-zine in august 2016.
All the pictures are nudes to keep the body lines clear and to avoid any disturbing of these lines by the clothes and focus just on the model. We switched the light off and started shooting the couple pictures, 12 exposures – all great. After that, we made dosens of shots of Maria only and later of Alexey. Everything perfect and everything quick. I almost could not believe my eyes looking at my watch. We were finished after nearly a single hour. Could not believe it because my technique of lighting for my photos is very slow. I use technique called "Luminography" or "Lightpainting". This means that the model gets into position and poses, after focusing and composition correction the light is switched off and during about 20 or 30seconds exposition the model gets "painted" by the beam of light from a flashlight. It is necessary for the model to stay in the position without any move or at least with minimal movement. This technique allows to achieve really interesting magic in the final picture. My pictures are made fully analogue, shot on film and there is no change made in computer. Everything you see on pictures is on negative and will be on final handmade prints in march exhibition in Prague.
Hope you like my work.

Electron-reflector strategy for CdTe thin-film solar cells
Citable Link(s)http://hdl.handle.net/10217/39057
The CdTe thin-film solar cell has a large absorption coefficient and high theoretical efficiency. Moreover, large-area photovoltaic panels can be economically fabricated. These features potentially make the CdTe thin-film solar cell the leading alternative energy source. However, the record CdTe efficiency (16.5%) is much less than its theoretical maximum efficiency (29%), primarily because the open-circuit voltage (0.845 V) is well below what is expected for its band gap (1.5 eV). The incorporation of an electron reflector is a strategy to improve the open-circuit voltage of solar cells, and ...

Fiona Mitchell
I am part owner of a sustainable transportation company in Portland. Care for our environment has always been important to me and affects all that I do. I have a degree in art history from Ohio University and would like to get my masters in sustainable business fairly soon.
Green Steps Taken:
I have been recycling all my life, or for as long as I can remember, I buy green cleaning products for my home and business and have just purchased multiple energy efficient appliances. I also try to make it easier for others to be a little greener by offering them a sustainable transportation option for commuting and entertainment.
I've definitely had to rethink the way I shop, where I buy, and reducing the number of trips I make when I drive.
Surprising Successes:
Starting ecoShuttle and convincing the City of Athens to put in more recycling bins in uptown Athens.
Having Trouble With:
I have not been able to volunteer in a very long time and I need some help when it comes to paperless marketing.
Giving Back:
ecoShuttle donates regularly to local charities, organizations, and schools. We also use a local biodiesel producer, who collects his grease locally, as our fuel supplier. We stock our coolers with locally crafted wine and beer and highlight locations that are sustainable. I buy locally produced items when I can (though I need to get better at this) and always buy the green option when available.

Joanna: Passionate, Sensitive, and Honest
6:51 pm
Where are you from? What brought you to Boston?
I grew up in New Jersey, but moved to Boston for college in the late 1990s. I left for about 6 years, residing in Rome, London and Washington DC, before returning in 2003. When people ask what brought me back to Boston, I always say, "The city." I found myself visiting here all of the time so I thought it made sense to move here. Best decision!
How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
Three words to describe me: passionate, sensitive, and honest
Tell us a little about your blog, how/why did you start it?
I started my blog in January 2012 after several friends suggested I start documenting my active and funny adventures in dating.
What makes you a Bostonian?
I love my city very deeply and passionately. Every time I go away and return, I feel such a sense of pride driving down the Mass Pike and seeing Fenway, the Pru, and WGBH. I'm a volunteer for the Greenway and talking "Boston" to strangers makes me giddy!
How do you want your blog to impact the greater Boston community?
While I originally started my blog as a place to share my stories, it has since become a place for me to connect and identify with other people in the same boat both locally and around the world.
What's one piece of dating advice you would give to our readers?
Don't give up! If I did, I wouldn't still be dating and looking for my soulmate.

Dictionary.com defines addiction as "the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit forming, such as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma." Addiction is a form of slavery whereby a person becomes a slave of a certain substance such as over the counter drugs, illegal drugs, alcohol, nicotine, food or even sex. Sex addiction, on the other hand, is a condition of a man or woman who has an unusually intense sex drive or an obsession with sex. The National Council on Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity defines sexual addiction as "engaging in persistent and escalating patterns of sexual behavior acted out despite increasing negative consequences to self and others."
Sexual addiction can be described as a disorder that is characterized by engaging in a lot of sexual thoughts and acts. For persons who have this condition sex dominates their mind to the point that it interferes with the person's life, lifestyle and even frame of mind. It is a form of dependence to sex despite its adverse consequences.
While the term sex addiction is very common nowadays with the coming out of David Duchovny a famous Hollywood celebrity who went to a rehab for his condition, currently, there is still a controversy over the issue of whether sex addiction should be recognized as a medical condition.
|The Reliable and Affordable Essay Writing Services
The controversy started in the year 1985 when Patrick Carnes published a book called "Out of the Shadows: Understanding Sexual Addiction." While there are a number of researches suggesting that there are people who are addicted to sex in the same manner that some people are addicted to alcohol, nicotine or drugs, psychologists, psychiatrists and social scientists are apprehensive about the term sex addiction.
It is their argument that alcohol addiction, drug addiction and nicotine addiction which are scientifically recognized medical conditions are not similar with sex addiction. For them people should not be confused with the heightened desire for sex and sex addiction. According to Lennard Davis, sex addiction is not currently recognized as a medical condition. There is no such malady otherwise the disorder would have been included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is a complete repository of all addictions and disorders known to man. Currently, sex addiction is not included in this list.
What does appear in this list is the term paraphilias which is defined as the "recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors generally involving (1) nonhuman objects, (2) the suffering or humiliation of oneself or one's partner, or (3) children or other nonconsenting persons." Thus, while the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders acknowledges sexual compulsions, it only recognizes sexual compulsion in the context of some sexual object, scene or person.

TORONTO (10/28/2003) - In a move to help customers better manage the collection of information from Web sites and comply with privacy laws, IBM Corp. on Monday announced it will be using technology from online practices firm Watchfire Inc.
The deal results from a reseller agreement IBM signed with Watchfire, which would allow the company to use the product as part of its service offerings.
The offering is one that could potentially aid users to more easily comply with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronics (PIPEDA) Act a law that is designed to ensure the handling of personal information that came into being three years ago. The deadline for compliancy for the law is Jan. 4, 2004, not leaving a lot of time for Canadian enterprises to get their practices in order.
But it's not just Canadian laws that enterprises have to worry about. Companies collecting information from U.S. citizens would have to comply with U.S. privacy laws such as Section 508 of the Government's Rehabilitation Act, said Terry McQuay, privacy consultant and president of Nymity Inc. in Toronto.
Dubbed IBM Online Business Management, this new service will provide users insight into navigation errors, standards violations, risk to brand image, privacy policy linking, data collections practices, piracy and security standards definition and legal exposures, according to IBM. This will be done using Watchfire's applications.
Users will also have access to IBM's Global Services Consulting to help them develop in-house processes to address planning, implementation, assessment and management of privacy risks and assist them in complying with regulations and policies.
These new services come in the wake of the results of a study jointly conducted by IBM and Watchfire. The two companies scanned the Web sites of 242 financial services companies listed on Business Weeks' Global 1000 and scanned a maximum of 3,000 links on each site. The report found that 53 percent of companies studied collected personal information from a customer in a form on a page that did not link to the company's online privacy policies.
In addition, only eight percent of companies supported 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer encryption, which, according to the companies, puts personal data collected through these means at risk.
"The ability to monitor, manage and mitigate the risks related to privacy breaches such as poor data collection and sharing practices, third-party linking issues, and the use of inappropriate tracking technologies can help firms avoid potential customer backlash and litigation, which can be devastating to a company's brand an reputation," said Harriet Pearson, IBM's chief privacy officer, in a statement.
Nymity's McQuay said companies would definitely get value from a solution such as IBM's.
"Definitely organizations need to have a look at their information management practices on their Web sites, and this solution or any solution that can help them do that would be of huge value," he said.
Watchfire is jointly headquartered in Kanata, Ontario, and Waltham, Massachusetts. For more information visit www.watchfire.com. In Canada, IBM is online at www.ibm.ca.

2009 Chancellor's Dinner
Chancellor's Dinner Benefits Merit Scholarships
The sound of the bagpipes at dusk called about 250 campus friends and donors to the first Chancellor's Dinner to benefit merit scholarships for UCR students on Oct. 17. Colorful lights transformed Highlander Union Building's main meeting room into a gala venue, a showcase for the stories of UC Riverside scholarship recipients and the donors who make those scholarships possible. Pre-dinner student entertainment along with wine and hors d'oeuvres in the HUB plaza got the evening started on the right note, including the insistent rhythms from Taiko drummers. Chancellor Timothy P. White spoke of the need for UCR scholarships, and a video made the case for giving scholarship money. Students talked about how important it is to feel chosen for a named scholarship. Donors said it feels so good to be doing something meaningful. Cindy Le and Gary McCord were honored for professional accomplishments with Alumni Awards of Distinction. Chancellor White presented the UCR Medallion to the Milton W. Stratford family for numerous scholarship donations. The event was sponsored by the UCR Alumni Association and the UCR Foundation.
