The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) had risen more than 48 points as of 11:30 a.m. EDT. Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) were among the index's best performers, while ex-Dow component Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) was also moving to the upside.
Producer Price Index disappoints
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday said the Producer Price Index, a measure of inflation in the supply chain, declined by 0.2% month over month in May. Economists had anticipated a modest gain of 0.1%.
A lower than expected PPI suggests a weaker than expected economy. Although runaway inflation comes with its own issues, rising prices may indicate a stronger economy.
Intel raises its guidance
Intel was the Dow Jones' biggest gainer on Friday, rising more than 7% in late-morning. The gain comes after the PC chipmaker released a stronger earnings guidance that includes a projected $700 million more in second-quarter revenue than it had previously expected.
Intel is benefiting from robust corporate demand for personal computers. Although mobile devices may have captivated consumers, businesses and corporate users are still largely dependent on traditional PCs -- and that's a market where Intel dominates.
At the same time, Intel's new 2-in-1 designs may be taking a chunk of the tablet market. These new laptop/tablet hybrids offer the benefits of both systems with a single device.
Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard could be poised to benefit
Part of reason Intel is seeing more demand from corporate users is the end of Windows XP. Earlier this year, Microsoft ended its support for the 14-year-old operating system. Windows XP continues to function, but Microsoft will no longer release security fixes, making it risky to continue using the OS.
Businesses may now be buying new PCs with a newer version of Microsoft's operating system installed. That could result in more Windows revenue for Microsoft, which may be why investors are buying up shares on Friday.
Every company in the Windows-PC value chain should benefit, including OEMs like Hewlett-Packard. The company's shares rose nearly 4%, as investors may have been projecting Intel's stronger revenues onto HP.
Hewlett-Packard's personal systems business, which is largely composed of traditional PCs, generates more than a quarter of company revenue.
Other factors could be helping Hewlett-Packard shares: Earlier this week, the company detailed its new supercomputer, "The Machine." The device, if it succeeds, could revolutionize the data center, replacing a host of servers with a single computer. Its an ambitious move, as The Machine uses an entirely new operating system and new architecture, but it's an exiciting prospect Hewlett-Packard investors may be keying in on.

Each startup has a mission to search for a good business model that's both scalable and repeatable. Eric Ries wrote Lean Startup, a book that came before Lean Analytics. It's about efficient product and business development as a framework, or to be more clear, about:
- Customer Development,
- Agile Software Development methodologies, and
- Lean Manufacturing practices.
Startups were the target of this process, but it's become so popular with time that now companies of all sizes use it for improvement. What makes it so popular is that it isn't about being small or cheap, but making quick and efficient changes without leaving waste. That makes Lean Startup great for any company out there, big or small.
The core concepts of Lean Startup are:
- Build.
- Measure.
- Learn.
With Lean Startup, you can create and work on a fully established vision by developing marketing strategies, and Lean Analytics is what takes it to the next level. Lean Analytics focuses on measuring. For any organization following this concept, it's important to go through the cycle as quickly as possible, because it leads to quick results.
It makes sense—if your product scales faster and better, it has a higher chance of being a success. However, don't think of this cycle as a simple way of improving your product; it's much more than that. Innovation accounting is what gets the minimum product together, thus providing an actual measure of how well you're doing.
Lean Analytics is what quantifies your innovation and gets you one giant step closer to your goals. Being viral requires focus.
Let's take a look at how several companies managed to hack their way to the top.
In the beginning, Airbnb's main focus was on the quality of their photos, because the team had an idea that high-quality pictures would make an impact on the number of rentals per month. With that in mind, they hired 20 professional photographers to take pictures of all hotels and apartments Airbnb offered, and put the Concierge MVP* concept to the test. This required little to no effort, yet it gave Airbnb outstanding results.
Once their experiment showed good results, Airbnb made it live for all visitors. Their photographers were available to anyone, and within a year, Airbnb went up to 10 million nights booked.
Lean Analytics—Lesson Learned:
Most of the time, you cannot expect what your main source of growth will be. Once you find your test idea, make sure to invest as little money and time in it as possible. Make a firm definition of what your success story should be before testing. If your idea is the right one, plan on what you're going to do with it.
*A Concierge MVP is a Minimum Viable Product that creates value you promised to your audience. It doesn't necessarily scale, but for the short term, it's easy to create. Why "concierge"? Because when creating a startup, you're the main man in engaging your first batch of customers—most often in person.
Circle of Moms
Circle of Friends was founded as an independent social graph app when Facebook's API started allowing web devs to integrate their own apps, but it came with one huge issue. It was targeting the wrong market, even though it went live at the right time.
A simple, yet effective analysis of each user's engagement/behavior was ultimately what led to a good solution. As soon as they found their target, Circle of Friends changed its name and purpose to Circle of Moms. It was a huge risk, but one that brought significant changes. Be prepared to burn some bridges.
Lean Analytics—Lesson Learned:
Circle of Moms was willing to dig deep into their data and find patterns that meant the most to them. Their leader, Mike, stumbled upon an "unknown area" that led to a complete makeover—one that focused on a more specific niche. What's important is that it was focused on data itself. Although Circle of Moms faced retention issues, it's always better to have an easily searchable, but small target audience you can work on.
Ever since its inception, SEOmoz has been all about metrics, but that does not necessarily mean it has to swim in data. Back in 2012, SEOmoz relied on so many KPIs that it was counterproductive. One of their investors suggested to rely on one metric only, and make it more valuable than all others: Net Adds.
This KPI was the best option for SEOmoz, because it's nearly impossible to improve on various KPIs at the same time.
Lean Analytics—Lesson Learned:
Tracking many metrics can often be a great thing, but you can lose focus quickly. A good solution is to pick as few KPIs as possible, because that's the best way to organize your team.
In its early stages, Clearfit focused on revenue that was based on subscriptions. Their own customers misinterpreted their move, as they thought low price tags were a weak offer.
When the paid listing model was introduced, sales increased by ~300%, making the revenue ten times greater. This means the problem was in the pricing itself, rather than the business model.
Lean Analytics—Lesson Learned:
If you consider SaaS a recurring service, then it doesn't have to be priced like one. Your job posting platform should offer more transactional price tags—as the book says, "pricing is a tricky beast". Obtain customer feedback whenever you can, because for Clearfit, a low price does not always mean something valuable is up for grabs.
Lean Analytics: What Makes a Good Metric?
First of all, let's define what a good metric is.
A good metric is something comparative and understandable. A metric is basically a ratio or rate, and it aims to change how you behave.
Prior to choosing the right metric, here's what you have to know:
- Qualitative metrics are not structured and, most of the time, very hard to aggregate. Quantitative metrics are those that involve numbers and statistics. They give you the numbers you need, without any concrete insight.
- Vanity metrics don't impact the way you act. The ones that change your behavior are actionable metrics. Their mission is to help you pick a course of action.
- Leading metrics give you an insight into the near future, whereas lagging metrics give more info about the past. The ones that are better here are leading metrics, because you can still make impact on them.
- Finally, if two metrics change in parallel, they are correlated, causal otherwise.
Also, use the One Metric That Matters. Why? Because:
- It answers the most important question you have.
- It forces you to draw a line in the sand and have clear goals.
- It focuses the entire company.
- It inspires the art of experimenting.
Make Things Simple to Digest
A good metric can be interpreted with ease; there's absolutely no need to provide an abundance of unnecessary numbers. This frustrates people, and to make things worse, it can mislead them. Once they're looking at the wrong numbers, you know something's not right. Metrics are often very valuable, but when not used right, they can lead you in the wrong direction.
Don't forget the One Metric That Matters. Use it to ease people into your analytics.
Ask Good Questions
Startup or not, it's mandatory to know your market. Each click, subscription, like, share, or purchase counts from the moment they hear or read about you, all the way to them ditching your services for good. You can start making changes when and if you have data on your consumers. For you, that data is an exclusive insight into their needs and lifestyles.
Times have changed—from a leader telling others there's no use in consumer data, to having so much valuable data up for grabs. This change tells us to focus on the most important metrics only. A disciplined approach helps identify and overcome all risks. Nowadays, leaders only have questions they can ask their consumers, so go ahead and ask good questions!

Ever since I dropped out of school over a year ago my mom's been telling me I should look into the Folk High Schools in Norway, and recently she's really been talking about it, so I've just been on the site for the first time and idk, I think I've always known I'd think it'd be a good idea but I've just never got around to looking into it..
"Folk high schools are one-year boarding schools offering a variety of exciting non-traditional and non-academic subjects, as well as academic subjects. The idea of folk high schools is learning for life, an opportunity to grow both individually, socially, and academically in small learning communities. All students live on campus in close contact with staff and their fellow students. One important part of the folk high school experience is to form a community, in and out of class. "
I think the idea of moving away to a foreign country where I don't speak the language, by myself, is both the most terrifying and probably the most exciting thing I'd ever do.
And it's kind of perfect timing. Most of the people I know are about my age and will be going off to uni after the summer, I'd be doing a similar thing, so I wouldn't feel like a failure, but I'd be doing something much better for me and much better for my future.
My aunt went there when she was about my age, and my granddad taught at one for a while or something, and for anyone who doesn't know, I'm half norwegian and my family have a house there, so it's the type of thing that isn't completely unrealistic. I could really apply, there are loads of schools so I'm bound to get into one, I don't see why I wouldn't.
The more I think about it the more I get really nervous, because what if I did get in? Could I really move to Norway by myself? Oh my god, it's terrifying to even think about, but a kind of good terrifying.
I've only really talked to my best friend about it. I don't want to tell people until I'm sure what I'm doing.. but I'm fairly sure I'm going to apply, I keep thinking about it and it makes me really excited. I love the idea that I'd go there and nobody would know me and I could be anything I wanted.
My mom's already said that we could go on like, a "shopping spree" to get new clothes before I left, and I'd love that. I have no money ever, so I don't really have any of the clothes I want, like, I don't dress how I would if money wasn't a problem, if that makes sense. It sounds a bit selfish, but I will use it as an excuse to get the things I've had my eye on for a while. I'd want to go there feeling good about myself and how I look.
It's all so scary, it really is, but I just want it to all get sorted so I can apply.

The eye can be examined with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional assessment consists of the capability to move in the orbit and the response of the pupil to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be tested in numerous methods. The patient might be asked to determine illuminated letter or items of varying sizes on what is understood as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the examination of the structural part of the eye might be made in numerous methods. Stress within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In specific illness, particularly in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased noticeably.
Nevertheless, it must be well bore in mind that a client with an eye issue might have other problems too. Typically other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can alert the doctor and the client to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other signs present themselves.
Subsequently, one's reliance on sight is emphasized when one faces a possible or short-lived permanent loss of this vital sense. For this reason, when restorative procedures are looked for, certain forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are recommended.
On the other hand, some individuals are bothered with that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgeries were established to encourage decreased usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Generally, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this kind of surgical treatment, one's vision is fixed completely.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently transformed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main function of this explanation surgery is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade known as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, allowing much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that individuals need to know. Most likely, the main reason this kind of eye surgical treatment has actually ended up being well accepted is since the majority of its cases had actually been successful.
Nevertheless, in spite of its success, there are still some drawbacks. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most sensitive part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is one of the most delicate portions of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be very dangerous.
Simply puts, a simple mistake could nearly cause an person's lifetime blindness. Find Out More It is important to think about numerous elements prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the right corrective procedure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a perfect treatment
LASIK eye surgery might remedy your vision however it does not necessarily mean that it can provide you a twenty-twenty. Even if statistical reports show that 70% of the patients may have 20/20 vision, this does not always indicate they have perfect vision as well.
Offered all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK may not always be the ideal eye surgical treatment the method many people see it
Alternatively, the assessment of the structural part of the eye might be made in several ways. It must be well kept in mind that a client with an eye issue might have other problems. Typically other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can notify the patient and the physician to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction.

Article by Larkn0298
Author Jeremy C. Shipp is never content to merely give his readers a diversion. Sure you laugh; you fall in love with his characters, are emotionally swept into his world; but his work is always so much more than emotive string pulling.
Shipp wants your mind. He wants your heart. He wants you to be so taken in by his words that by the time he is through with you, you see the world differently. He wants to wake you up, and he won't sugar coat the brutality or the beauty of life as he delivers his message. In making you honestly examine yourself and the world, he offers you a great gift – a chance at healing. Shipp's second novel, Cursed, is such an adventure and is due for release this October. It is available for pre-order at here...
Cursed resonates as a love story to those of us who feel like outsiders. Though Shipp makes explicit use of a physical disability in this novel, that sense of being "other" could come from any of the millions of details that make up our personal story such as one's faith or sexuality. It is a reminder that being unique is not a curse as society would have us think. In fact our differences are our gifts. We are meant to celebrate them and use them to heal ourselves, each other, and ultimately the world.
One immediately has great empathy for Shipp's lead characters. Cicely and Nicholas can be nothing other than the cursed beings they are, but thank God for that. In the book, they literally hold the fate of the world in their hands. There could be no more intelligent, humorous, kindly souls to be at the mercy of. They are given an awesome responsibility, and through their journey we can see the best and worst within ourselves as well.
Like many, Nicholas just wants to blend in. He wants to pretend he leads an unexceptional life. But for Nicholas there is no out. He must do what he is destined to do. In the end, the same goes for us all. Shipp is calling out those who would wear masks and try to live a small existence. Not following an authentic path would have consequences in Cursed, just as it does in the real world.
Shipp forces us to confront the pain, fear, loneliness in our lives. They are a warning that action needs to be taken. We are given a very explicit reminder at the very beginning "This isn't only your life that you're messing with. We're connected. We're all connected." My pain is your pain; your pain is my pain. And what is most vital for ending our personal nightmares? Forgiveness. It is through this we heal.
There is also a recurring theme of being ignored, not being heard. Nicholas constantly faces this in his attempts to connect with others. But he can't truly be heard because he is hiding. He is afraid if someone really did see him, truly know him inside and out they would be horrified. In contrast Cicely has the strength to claim who she is and fight against those who would dismiss her as wrong. She faces the world with an open heart and creativity. She is the kind of empowered being that comes from living from a place of love instead of fear. She pushes Nicholas and hopefully the reader to a breakthrough where they find themselves capable of more than they had imagined.
As in his short stories and his first novel, Vacation, Shipp's prose in Cursed is distilled down to the finest essence. No triviality remains. With a lot of wit and a huge heart full of passion, he enthralls the reader. The writing is elegant and quite simply a pleasure to read.
Shipp's work always carries with it a sense of magical realism that I find incredibly seductive. I'm always eager to see what rules he's playing with in each new piece. And I must admit as a writer I'd kill to have a little bit of that awe-inspiring creativity Shipp has in his deliciously demented mind.
So in the end does Cursed succeed? In a word: yes. Readers can't walk away unmoved. They will recognize themselves in the characters. They will see the indictment of the energy spent on imaginary problems while the real ones burn the world down.
He gets you – mind and heart. And I have to believe that his readers and the planet will come away altered for the better because of this experience.
Jeremy C. Shipp may be just one author, but maybe that's enough.

Not much to tell, I used 2 really large pill bottles, 2 hi-liters, hair spray and a bbq sparker. I cut the bottom out of one pill bottle and shoved it into the other, and cut open and removed the insides of 2 hi-liters. Everything is held together with electrical tape. I'll get a video tomorrow when its light outside. When I hold it at a 45 degree angle, this thing shoots a marble about 35-45 yards and hurts my ears.

As the subject suggests, here are the books I read in 2008. I think I liked most of them, especially Spitz's Beatles book. I like keeping track of the books I read 'cause I think I might forget some of them, really. Also, I like looking back and reminding myself of the friends and family that I borrowed books from over the course of the year (Michael, Scott, Merideth, Mom and Dad) -- as well that old book-lending friend the D.C. Library system. It's also interesting to me to remember what I was doing when I was reading each book, which I'm fairly well able to place. Some places were good, others bad. I guess it's just a different way to reflect on the year. Anyway, here's the list:

The schedule will say that Horizon Christian flattened Trout Lake 61-38 in the season opener, but the game was little more than an exhibition after the opening five moments.
The Hawks hit the Mustangs with a full court press which led to a 14-0 run to start the game for the Hawks. After the Mustangs got on the board, the Hawks followed with a 12-0 run for a 26-3 lead early in the second quarter and subsequently began emptying their bench.
"The first five minutes we played really intense and we just need to keep up that intensity the rest of the way," Horizon guard Max Totaro said.
Matt Totaro led all scorers with 17 points for Horizon with Max Totaro adding 11. Nakae Jackson led Trout Lake with 14 points.
Horizon coach Darrin Lingel used the big lead as on opportunity to test out different lineups heading into this weekend's Horizon Christmas Tournament at the school, which will see the Hawk boys host Open Door, C.S. Lewis and the Jesuit JV team.
"It's the first game of a long journey," Lingel said.
In the girls game earlier in the evening, the contest was much more competitive, with Trout Lake pulling away late for a 43-25 lead.
McKenzie Mellow led the Hawks with nine points while Trista Hicks had seven. Caitlyn Scott and Ashley Sampson each had 14 points for Trout Lake to lead all scorers.
The Hawk girls also used a full court press early, and had a 13-8 lead after the first quarter, but could not hold the momentum. A turnover-plagued second quarter by the Hawks gave Trout Lake an opening and they managed a 10-point swing to take a five-point lead to the half following a buzzer-beating three-pointer by Maggie Baker.
The Hawks tried to rally in the second half, closing to within four points several times, but could get no closer than that, as Trout Lake took advantage of several more Horizon turnovers late in the game to put away the victory.

With Mardi Gras just around the corner I figured it was time to dust off the ol' beads and bring out the andouille. Now, I haven't been to New Orleans myself but it's definitely on my list of places to visit … mostly to eat all of the food I can get my hands on!
None the less, I wanted to do something in the spirit of Mardi Gras while still keeping things light. This is my healthier version of Jambalaya – my tip of the hat to New Orleans!
I cut the fat by substituting this wonderful chicken andouille sausage instead of using traditional andouille sausage (made out of pork and pork fat). I also used brown rice instead of white rice to raise the fiber content.
I thought the dish was delicious with the mingling of spices from the andouille and the fresh shrimp, but if you're feeling extra inventive you should throw in other lean proteins like chicken breast, turkey sausage, or heck, even some tofu (although not a protein, per se). Just remember that anything labeled "andouille" means that there are a lot of spices (and some heat) in the sausage already. Anything you add outside of that will not contain that well-loved heat that is so characteristic of Cajun food. i.e. taste test and customize!
Here is how you make this surprisingly tasty Jambalaya. This recipe is loosely based on this Pasta Jambalaya recipe and Running Love. Thank you!
First, brown your delicious little sausages.
Then chop your veggies and add those to the pan too. Let those soften a bit before…
…adding your spices, rice and wet ingredients.
Once your rice is cooked, add the shrimp and cook until pink (or until your cooked shrimp is hot). Really easy!
Serve and imagine yourself people watching on a balcony in the French Quarter (that's what I do).
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 12 to 16-ounces of chicken andouille sausage, casings removed and sliced into coins (sliced in half again if the coins are large)
- 4 to 5 scallions, chopped, reserve a couple tablespoons for garnish
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced petite tomatoes, with juice
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth (you may need more for simmering)
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup brown rice
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning, or to taste
- 1/2 to 1-pound of uncooked shrimp, cleaned and tails removed (jumbo preferred)
- Tabasco, to taste
- Lemon wedge, optional
- Heat the oil in a very large skillet or large saucepan over medium to medium high heat. Add in your chicken sausage pieces and let them sizzle until they are brown, stirring occasionally. Add the scallions, green pepper, and minced garlic and cook for another 4 or 5 minutes, until the veggies have softened.
- Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, rice, thyme, paprika and 1 teaspoon (or less) of Cajun seasoning (remember, you can always add more later). Bring to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the rice is cooked. Add more broth if the contents start to look too dry. Stir this mix occasionally so your sauce doesn't stick to your pan.
- After the rice is cooked, add the shrimp and cook for a couple more minutes, covered, until the shrimp is pink. Taste test to see if there is enough heat for your liking. If not, add more Cajun seasoning. Remove from heat, garnish and serve with Tabasco for heat and a lemon wedge for brightness.
Need more Mardi Gras ideas? Take your andouille sausage leftovers (if you have any!) and make a hash out of it! Try out this Framed Cooks recipe.

i've had 2 sleep test. 1 was long time ago in hospital but i couldn't sleep troughout the night so it would such a waste. one was recently, a home sleep test with oxymeter, 2 belt, and the nassal cannula (but it keeps getting off my nose)
i used xanax low dose so i could fall asleep easier but later i found out that benzodiazepine prevents from deep sleep and i did notice that i got only light sleep. and i feel fine trhoughout the night (no attack). the result appeared to be in normal range only says some breath flow limitation.
my symptom was started long time ago since i was a child i get awaken in the middle of the night cause i wasnt breathing and it keeps happening ever since. the problem is it happens randomly eventhough it has happened many times since the first attack but sometimes there are times when it didnt happened but sometimes its so terrible it almost killed me and causing me to stay awake. i didnt know what it was back then and when i was a child i thought i was to lazy to breathe or i should teach myself to remember to breathe and it will disappear by itself.
sometimes i also get what i learn later is breathe flow limitation. i noticed that i am breathless cause my throat was closing when i was about to relax and doze off. but then again it doesnt happen everyday 1 thing i noticed it likely to happened when my health condition worse.
and cause of all that factors it confused me how to be able to detect those 2 issues on sleep lab when the attack is happening not when it isnt. cause it happens randomly. not to mention that sleep lab costs quite a fortune here and to me.
also i read that apnea could cause heart problem and since i do have heart problem theres a possibility that it causes by that or apnea could makes it worse. i cant ignore that.
also that one issue prevents me from any operation that needs sedation/anesthesia which i might need since if the attack strikes me when im couldnt be able to awake i would die.
those 2 problems concerned me but i dont know what to do.
please give me inputs i would greatly appreciate it.

View full sizeGULF SHORES, Alabama -- Every SEC fan enjoys seeing his favorite team's head coach, but the spontaneity of Les Miles gives LSU fans extra reason to pay attention.
"Coach Miles is always a must-see," said Nick Zaeff, a senior at LSU who drove from Baton Rouge, La., for SEC BeachFest. "Every time he speaks, you never know what it's going to be like, so you always have to tune in."
Zaeff and three fellow LSU seniors made a weekend out of it, running in the 5k Saturday morning, and sticking around through the day's activities.
Although classes at LSU started last week, the weekend is one last break for the students before the grind of fall semester and football season starts.
"We have a game every week, whether it's at Tiger Stadium or on the road, and we don't miss games," said Alexis Rook, an LSU student from Atlanta.
Tiger fans cheered loudly when Miles told the crowd that LSU could be better this year than last year. When Miles was asked about the suspension of "Honey Badger" Tyrann Mathieu, one enthusiastic fan shouted: "We don't need him."
Auburn coach Gene Chizik spoke earlier today at BeachFest and Alabama's Nick Saban takes the stage at 6:15 p.m., before a Dr. John concert at 7:30 p.m.
Check our SEC BeachFest page for continuing coverage throughout the weekend.

Irving Kriesberg
Irving Kriesberg (1919- ) studied painting at The Art Institute of Chicago, the University of Chicago from 1938-1941, and later in Mexico from 1942-1946. Kriesberg began his interest in art as a cartoonist in high school in Chicago. In the 1930's he spent many days visiting the Art Institute of Chicago to sketch the work of the great masters Titian & Rembrandt. In the late 1930's he came under the influence of modern art via School of Paris exhibitions prominently exhibited in the museums in Chicago. Later Kriesberg became known as a peripheral figure of the New York School in the 1950's, but has primarily become known as an influential Figurative Expressionist painter since the early 1950's. His work is closer in style and content to that of painters such as George McNeil, Robert Beauchamp, and Lester Johnson than the abstract expressionists. Additionally Kriesberg is an avowed colorist and since the 1950's has taken his palette from School of Paris; deep blues, cadmium reds, vibrant oranges, yellows and greens. That is to say Matisse & Picasso, and perhaps DuBuffett.
Other works by: Irving Kriesberg

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Rookie Torre Swanson was named the NEWMAC Pitcher of the Week after guiding MIT to a pair of conference road victories last week.
Swanson extended his unblemished streak to open his collegiate career to four starts as the freshman righty enjoyed a 2-0 week while improving to 3-0 on the year.
At Brandeis on Tuesday, Swanson worked six innings and allowed two earned runs on five hits while striking out three. On Saturday at Babson, Swanson tossed a complete game, scattering four hits while adding a pair of srikeouts. Swanson gave up two earned runs in 15 innings of work and ranks among the top five in the NEWMAC in wins, ERA, and opposing batting average.

If you're on a tight budget and short on IT staff, but still want a powerful, well-equipped phone system, a hosted PBX just might be in your future. A hosted PBX is not only a reliable and easy to manage, it is also cost efficient and requires no specialized IT staff to maintain. As such, it is an excellent communications solution for a brand new small business.
Here's a closer look at the advantages of a hosted PBX:
Maintenance Made Simple
Contrary to proprietary on-premises phone system, hosted PBX has a computer-based architecture that is operated and maintained by a third party vendor. As such, you needn't worry about replacing costly hardware or complicated copper wiring associated with traditional telephony. Due to the hosted PBX's cloud-based infrastructure, if your business needs to scale up or scale down, you can do so by contacting your third party vendor to add or drop phone lines without incurring productivity lulls due to the addition or removal of on-site wiring.
Saves Office Space
When you implement a traditional PSTN into your business, you need to provide a dedicated space for it. With a hosted solution, your third party PBX provider manages the equipment at an off-site location. As such, you're able to save more office space for more important things—like more desks or personal offices.
Or on another note, if you are a new small business you could avoid hiring an office space in the first place. The beauty of a Hosted PBX is that your business can appear to be a long-established successful organization when in reality it's just 3 employees, each one of them working from home.
Easy to Manage
Hosted PBX is simple to install and manage even when you don't have your own IT staff. In addition, due to its computer-based interface, so long as you understand how to operate on a desktop or laptop you'll be able to manage your PBX setting in a snap. As well, you'll never need to worry about downtime for installation or updates as your hosted PBX provider will do so for you. As such, you can seamlessly integrate hosted PBX into your business without disrupting your productivity.
You can cross hiring an IT team off of your to-do list, let your hosted PBX provider do the legwork for you!

She's not deaf? Or going deaf? We have two with deaf cat howl. Rescue Remedy is having a bit of effect on the worst one. I put three drops on the back of her head at bedtime. The worst one is also suffering dementia. Blood panel for her shows no thyroid or any problem other than early stage kidney failure.
Another idea, is she responding to early, very early, signs of morning breaking around your house? A neighbour on shift work comes or goes at that time and disturbs her? Could you try to somehow make her night time accommodations sound and incoming light proof?

Ya'll!! It's Day 12 of the Flip/Flop February Challenge hosted by Jillian at Jilltastic Nail Design. Today's options were Drips or Matte - I chose drips...and then I matted them! First up, the glossy ones.
I am in such love with these nails. Up until now, I've been able to wear my designs for this challenge for 2-3 days, but alas, it has caught up with me and I can't wear them long anymore if I'm going to keep up with the challenge! So, over Saturday and Sunday I did about 6 different designs and this is one of the first ones I did because I thought I was going to hate them! And they ended up being my favorite ones!! Bah! I might have to do this one again for "recreate your favorite day".
I used 2 Color Club mini's for this design. I got both of them in a past Birchbox. I'm probably gonna need a full size of these - I love them both. The orange is Lava Lamp and the blue is Blue-ming. Lava Lamp is a true neon orange, slightly pinker than some of the other neon oranges I have, but not pink at all. Definitely orange. I LOVE neon oranges. Ok - I love neons period. Blue-ming is a bright, bright, minty, aqua. It is borderline neon. Super fun color. I love how well these played together!
Here is a photo of them matte - I used Sephora by OPI Matte Top Coat. I'm not sure which way I liked them better. What do ya'll think?
Since I did this over the weekend during the day - I was able to get a couple of sunlight pictures! I wish I could get these all the time! Forgot to get glossy sunlight pictures so, these are both matte. I've actually never worn any nails matte yet, but I think I would totally rock this look matte! I still like to put Seche Vite on the final design to let them dry fast and then on the matte top coat.
Tomorrow is Watercolor or Sponging - I'll go ahead and tell you, I'm not so thrilled with those as I was with these!
Please take a second to go check out the other girls designs for Day 12!

Aunt Hannah Hemenway's Recollections
Her Fame for Wedding Cakes
Her Grandfather and Father Fought With Washington
In the little story and a-half house just beyond the Boulevard on May Street, No. 79, one would scarcely think there lived a maiden lady much older than the house which she makes her habitation or the old weather-beaten barn tottering with age which is close by. This, however, is the fact and in plain lettering on the door plate can be plainly read, "Miss Hemenway." She is in her 97th year, and as hale and hearty as most women after they have passed the allotted time of three score and ten. Miss Hemenway is very well known to the older people of the city, and even to the present generation, she is no stranger. On the first Sunday of the present month, she celebrated her 77th anniversary of membership in the First Baptist Church. She went to church on that day and was cordially welcomed by all, as he is well known to the congregation. It has been a frequent remark of the pastors of that church that they are always sure of two auditors, including always Miss Hemenway as one of the two, so certain was she to go to church, rain or shine. She was born on the same spot where she now lives 96 years ago. The house, however, is not the same, but some of the rafters of the old house are in the present structure.
The house where she was born was burned down about 60 years ago. Some of the old doors and boards were saved and these were put in the present structure, which was soon after built. Miss Hemenway's father has been dead 67 years. His name was Jeffrey Hemenway, "and spell the last name right," she said. "There is no 'i' nor 'g' in it, and it is seldom spelled correctly," she added, as she spelled it out as it should be.
Her father was brought to Framingham when a baby from Boston. He was a mulatto and was given to a Hemenway there to bring up and educate. He was adopted by his foster father and the record is seen in the town reports. He learned the trade of a carpenter, and when a young man fought in the French and Indian war. After his return he followed his trade and worked on the Old South Church which was built on the Common. He was a soldier in the Revolution and fought at Bunker Hill, Lexington and Concord and followed the furtunes of Washington and Lafayette through the seven years of war, and in that time he never had a drop of blood drawn. "Was he with Washington?" was asked. "To be sure he was with Washington. What general do you suppose he was under? Do have some sense," said Miss Hemenway. She continued her narrative. Her father was on Bunker Hill and was driven off, but went back on there again. Her father was 82 years old when he died, "and I wonder he didn't die before he went through so much" she said. His death was in 1828. His wife lived a widow until 1831, when she died. She was Hebsibeth Cross, who lived on the hill where Holy Cross College now stands. He was half Indian and half white, and her father Miss Hemenway's grandfather, died in the war of the Revolution. Hebsibeth's mother also died when she was quite young. Mrs. Hemenway was well known in her day and is remembered yet by the older families as a great cook and an excellent hand at making wedding cakes . She made nearly all the wedding cakes for the prominent people in those days and her services were always in demand. "In old times," explained her daughter, "girls weren't taught much else besides spinning but mother could do everything and when there was any occasion for a girl she was called in. At the first Fourth of July celebration, in 1877, she roasted the first pig ever served in this city. The feast was served at the brick tavern, near where the City Hall now stands. The people generally were supplied on the Common. I never was married, but I always have taken a great interest in children, and once I used to take seven to meeting with me." Miss Hemenway for a long time followed in the footsteps of her mother. She was the best hand for miles around at making a wedding cake, and she gave up her occupation only within a few years, on account of old age. The old fireplace and oven where she cooked her cakes is still in the house, but the fireplace is covered over. Her mother came into possession of the house at her husband's death, and Miss Hemenway did not live much at the home. She lived in different families until she came back to the homestead, 40 years ago.
She used to live before that time on Mechanic Street, near the old burying ground, which has long since been removed. She has built more wedding cakes than any other person, and has over 200 wedding cards containing the names of the oldest families in the city. She remembers when four years old she went barefooted through the woods to school at New Worcester. At the age of nine years she went out to work. She was often called in by families.
She watched with the sick and dying and was just as much in demand at weddings. She remembers Gov. Lincoln very well and shook hands and often spoke with him. "I saw Lafayette," said she, "when he passed through the city and he made a bow to everybody and they say he got so in the habit he bowed in his sleep. He rode to Gov. Lincoln's house and dined. He was escorted in this city, by the Worcester Light Infantry and he said at that time they were the best-looking soldiers he saw anywhere."
She remembered that her mother frequently spoke of the hanging of the Spooner woman for the murder of her husband, which she saw. Miss Hemenway did not express any sympathy for the Spooner woman, who she said ought to have had her neck stretched from here to Boston. Miss Hemenway used to ride frequently to Boston before the time of steam cars. Her trips were made in the stage coach, and even after the cars were running she preferred the stage line to steam cars, because the stage would leave her out just where she wanted to get off. She has been to Connecticut and other places, but did not travel a great deal. On her birthday every year for the last 25 she has been in the habit of dining with Mr. Wm. H. Heywood, her neighbor on Main Street. Mr. Heywood's grandmother was present when Miss Hemenway was born and put on her first clothes. Last Christmas she dined at Mr. Albert Buttrick's. There were 16 in the party. Miss Hemenway frequently goes out to spend the day with friends, and some weeks she has had as many as 40 callers. She remembers vividly the war of 1812, and the rejoicing over Commodore Perry's victories on Lake Erie. That was the greatest rejoicing she ever saw. They had songs about it and other poems.
She never saw Andrew Jackson, but she remembers when he was President. "When he came in," she said, "people thought the world was coming to an end. They said all sorts of things that his wife did not have any education, and all sorts of other things, but when he settled that bank business, during his first term, there was nobody like him, and he got a second term. He was the best man ever lived then, and there was no one like him. I never remember such a fuss as when he came in. After that every boy who was born was named Andrew Jackson, and I don't know but some of the girls were named after him, too."
Miss Hemenway was reminded, when speaking of Gen. Jackson in such high terms that he was a Democrat. "Well, so am I," she proudly spoke up. She remembers the Mexican War and the death of a son of Gov. Lincoln.
She did not like to be pressed too hard about a fact she was not sure of, because a lie was so distasteful. "Mother always told us it would be a dreadful thing if we died with a lie on our lips," and at this point the lady who lives with Aunt Hemenway, and provides for her every comfort, remarked that there are many men and women in this city who got their training from Aunt Hannah.
Miss Hemenway's picture was never taken until last summer, and she explained that she never looks in a looking glass. She sits on a chair over 100 years old, which was given her by the late Squire Wheeler, who bought it at the auction of Deacon Bridges, who used to sit in it. The deacon has been dead over 100 years, so there is no doubt of the antiquity of this piece of furniture.
She has also in her closet a nutmeg grater carried by her father through the Revolution. She says he told her he used it to grate herb roots. She also has an old plate that her mother used to have with a picture of Washington and the coats of arms of the 18 original states. She has several old-fashioned articles of furniture.
Aunt Hannah was the fifth of 10 children of whom eight lived to maturity. Her brother, the youngest of the family, was Ebenezer Hemenway, who was for many years the janitor of the City Hall. He died about five years ago. "No," answered Aunt Hannah, "I know what you mean," as her interlocutor mildly referred to the circumstance that she never was married: "I never was married and I never had a beau. Other folks can talk about beaux and all the chances they had, but I never had any. If I wanted to get married, how could I? Nobody asked me, and I was not going to ask them, One thing that makes old maids so different from other people is because they have been disappointed that way. I always had an idea I never would be married. Old maids are not looked down upon so much as they used to be. I often thank the Lord I am an old maid when I look at some of the men and see what some of the women have to go through with their families and children. There is something besides age, makes an old maid. I would not lie at this time of my life. If I had refused any offer I would just as soon say so."
Miss Hemenway was quite jolly while speaking in this vein.
She says she never lifted a pipe to her mouth and does not use snuff except at rare intervals, when she takes a pinch as medicine. She is also a total abstainer from spirits, although in her young days she had sipped punch, but not from habit. She says she has a right in her old age to use liquor, according to Solomon, but she thinks she is wiser in letting it alone. Miss Hemenway lives happily in her little home, and talks cheerfully. "No, you needn't holler, I am not deaf," she remarked to her visitor, who thought he would speak just a little above a stage whisper. She gets up every morning about 9 o'clock, raises her bedroom window and fixes her bed. She has breakfast soon after, and dinner about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. She retires usually about 9 or 10 o'clock at night.

With RE/MAX, you receive the foundation of a strong multinational company.
Time independence

With RE/MAX you are your own boss. You have maximum control of your time and it is up to you how you plan your time.
Business independence and support from RE/MAX
Are you not cut-out for a regular nine-to-five job with supervision and under the persistent control of a boss? Would you like to try out what it is like to be independent but are scared of failure? Try RE/MAX. The unique concept of RE/MAX gives you the chance to fully develop your entrepreneurial talent, while allowing you to be in control of the degree of support you need in order to succeed. With RE/MAX, you work for yourself, but not by yourself. You have the possibility to choose how you will present yourself, e.g. using your own business cards, advertising decals for your car etc. However, this does not mean you are all alone for everything. RE/MAX will provide you with the required support, e.g. web presentation, regular training, option to participate in large and international real estate projects, access to international reference offers or regional advertising and marketing support.
National and international system of referential offers

Sophisticated training system
The RE/MAX training system includes entry and other specialised training. You can educate yourself through intranet pages, where educational seminars on various topics are at your disposal.

RE/MAX disposes of a three-level career model of education. During the course of your career at RE/MAX, you can complete a wide range of training and courses, which can turn a starting agent into perhaps a successful owner of a real estate office, because the "sky is the limit".
Company culture based on high ethical standards and a professional approach
RE/MAX takes pride in its company culture, which is based on a professional approach, high ethical standards, continuous education, sharing the ideas and personal contacts of its members. We hold an international and national meeting each year, at which you have the opportunity to meet your colleagues from abroad and establish personal contacts which are important in the real estate sector.
Maximum valuation
The starting point of the RE/MAX concept is maximum reward for the work of real estate agents. With RE/MAX, 80% of the acquired commission remains yours in exchange for sharing operating costs for the office.
You work for yourself, but not by yourself! RE/MAX will help you start your career as a real estate agent. RE/MAX Czech Republic and office owners are primarily here to help you develop your own business and not vice versa.
We are looking for experienced professionals for our offices, who have an overview of and experience in real estate issues and business. If you are able to convey and share these skills and knowledge with entrusted agents, then you are just the person we are looking for.
RE/MAX offers you extensive learning opportunities not only in real estate issues, but also in the issues of training and coaching. We will help you with the first steps in this position and continue to assist you in developing your skills.

Hii folks! Today is my first time working out in a very very long time. I had my daughter 2 years ago and i completely lost my shape. Before i had her i was 115 lbs. Now i am 5'2" and 135 lbs. I wear a size 5 jeans and a medium shirt. Most people would look at me like i'm crazy for wanting to lose weight, but i have never been this big before. It's extremely hard for me to look in the mirror and be happy with my appearance like i used to. Well, anyway i'm not looking for someone to feel sorry for me just someone to keep me motivated!
Eboni :)
Beginner here! I know what you mean! Just keep working at it and before you know 5lbs are gone!😺
"Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit."...just remember weight wasn't put on overnight so it won't come off overnight...I've lost 130lbs...over the years my weight has yo-yoed...when I had the last 10lbs to loose before reaching my goal weight my body plateaued...have I wanted to quit, absolutely...have I cried out of frustration, you better believe it! But I kept my eye on the prize and kept it movin'! You've got this if you really want it!
My suggestion...clean eating, drink plenty of water...get ample rest and interval training (max results in less time) in my opinion there's nothing better!
I feel your desire. I just started working out about 3 weeks ago after a few years of being a couch potato. In the same situation I am bigger than I have been ever and feel like yuck every time I look in the mirror.
This ap has been great at providing motivation and a variety of workouts to keep things fresh. Start a schedule and remember to keep moving every day. It gets easier and fun the more it becomes habit
Beginner here!! Joined the gym last week, downloaded this app today, going to start the brazilian butt Booty program tonight!!
I had my daughter two years ago. And I was always 100-115, couldn't gain weight, I got up to 170 and stuck around 155. Been at this for about three weeks, eating semi good. And workin out everyday. Its going to be a long road!
Shout out to all the beginners!!
keep up the hard work, it will pay off
Just started!!!😊
Hi im new 2

Halloween set is an in-app there, though; the characters have been voiced by our kids and our cats and we report to some of them every day in what countries it's just been sold :-)
Check out also our Halloween puzzles for PreSchoolers and Kids and SuperKids (some of those are difficult to complete, but they are such a delight!) and our educational line of puzzles 123 Count With Me (separate apps in English, French, German, Italian, Cantonese, Russian and Ukrainian) - those animate, too!

- Went for a run, and I really enjoyed it, because ideas really started flowing in my mind while I was running.
- Also, while I was running, I listened to some Japanese podcasts.
- Helped set up for an Easter egg hunt at McKinley Square park during Bring Your Own Bigwheel.
- Watched some of Bring Your Own Bigwheel with my family.
- Refilled our emergency earthquake water.
Things I accomplished today
- Replaced the batteries in my Cateye Strada Wireless cyclecomputer, no easy task. I stabbed myself in the finger, attempting to pry off the battery cover with a pocket knife. Fortunately, I just had a tetanus shot a few months ago.
- Replaced the battery in the sensor/transmitter for my Cateye Strada Wireless cyclecomputer. I couldn't find 3/32″ wide zipties for attaching it, so I improvised with duck tape and thread.
- When I was looking for zipties, I found an old bell that had been on the kids' push bike before they could pedal, so I used it to replace the broken bell on Sunny's bike.
- I added a second earthquake strap to secure the kids' bunkbed.
- Studied programming and Japanese, practiced guitar, and went for a run
- Because Posterous is going away, I installed WordPress on nhoj.com, and wrote my first post here.
This is my blog post for March 21
The end of Posterous is upon us. I haven't done anything with my Posterous yet. Right now I'm talking to my sister Amy, who's telling me a funny story about something that happened to someone at the zoo.
Before that, she was playing her banjolele.
I just showed Amy my latest comic, "A Comic Every Week," and she laughed out loud at it, spontaneously. I was glad that she found it funny, becuase I was worried that it was too depressing-looking, or that only I would get the joke, but apparently I've tapped into a common writer's feeling. Amy's a writer, and she says writers feel like that all the time.
Skiing again
I was never much of a downhill skier before, but this is the second time we went skiing this year.
Last time, we were in Tahoe, but this time we went with a big group to Dodge Ridge. I took a "level two" lesson. The kids took level two lessons for children as well. I would have been happy to keep going and take a more advanced lesson, but JH and Sunny wanted to stop doing lessons for the afternoon and spend some time skiing.
JH and his friend M decided that they wanted to go up a rope pull to a bunny slope, because M was a beginner and was not ready to use the lifts yet. M's Mom and I stood out looking over them from a balcony as M got on the rope. It was like a cartoon as he fell off and his arms, legs, and skis all splayed out in different directions. Was he hurt? Should we go down there? But no, another adult was going over to help him out, and soon, he was back on the rope again.
I thought JH would do better, because he's a somewhat experienced skier, but the same thing happened to him, not so dramatically, because he's not as tall as M.
Later, M and JH did go on the lifts together, and they did great, especially M, for whom it was the first day skiing, ever.
Sunny and I spent the afternoon skiing together, which was really fun. I think it was good for her to get some Daddy time, and it was good for me to get some daughter time.
Lost post
It looks as though I wrote a blog post a few days ago, and somehow it vanished into the aether. Not sure what happened. At any rate, here is a quick post to make up for that missing one.
This evening, Sara and I went to see Lincoln. We both liked it, but the historical nature of the movie made me want to go back and research the history around the passage of the 13th amendment.
Coffee and sleep
I've been cutting down on coffee lately, from maybe three or four cups a day down to one. It's been pretty easy — no headaches — but I notice that I'm tired more often than I used to be. My understanding of drug tolerance is that it takes one's usual dose to get to one's baseline state. How long does it take for caffeine tolerance to wear off? I kind of liked being someone who could get by with little sleep. Now I start to get tired around 9 or 9:30 at night.
Anyway, I hope I adjust soon. Life is not meant to be slept away.

Social Potluck has been fortunate enough to receive a UBC Okanagan Sustainable Community Development Grant to hold the Social Potluck project in the Glenmore neighbourhood of Kelowna.
For five evenings in May, 2011 I will cook dinner for participants in exchange for a story. Those stories will be turned into a performance which those participants can attend with a guest for free as long as they bring an item to share for our giant final performance/potluck.
Dates and locations to be determined.
I am currently accepting names of interested participants.
Observations so far...
Glenmore is a large area. Using the official city map Glenmore is a sprawling area which travels from "Old Glenmore" near downtown, which is what most locals call Glenmore, north to Lake Okanagan and along Glenmore Rd. until Scenic Rd. on the right and Begbie Rd. on the left, and East to where Scenic Rd. becomes Sexsmith.
From what I can tell Glenmore is for the most part a place to have a residence. There are two small malls, one pub, a handful of take out restaurants and a few sit down restaurants. There are no civic community buildings or organizations that I can find. Churches and schools fill the role of being community centres, renting spaces to groups for events. There are numerous parks.
There are a number of large farms on the outskirts supplying fruit and vegetables.
I look forward to hearing the stories of the people who live here.
