In 1869, five prominent Chicago architects set aside self-interest and professional rivalry to focus on professionalizing the practice of architecture and improving life safety. They advocated for the licensure of architects, contributed to Chicago's earliest building and zoning regulations and worked to enact mechanics lien laws. The decision to hitch their efforts to the American Institute of Architects, founded in New York two years earlier, set about the business that we continue today.
As we mark the 145th anniversary of our chapter's founding, some of the same issues that motivated our predecessors continue to challenge us now. Constant vigilance is required to defend
licensure, we continue to maintain a dialogue with the city to improve the building code and not long ago, we were even called upon to advocate for stronger mechanics lien laws.
Yet as we fight old battles, there are of course new challenges to meet. We are constantly reinventing our practices to address a world that grows increasingly complex. Environmental sustainability, new forms of project delivery, improved health outcomes and greater social justice engagement are just the most recent metrics added to the perpetual concerns of budget, schedule and design excellence by which we measure the success of our projects. AIA remains the primary tool most of us use to stay abreast of change and to assert infl uence on the environment in which we practice.
There is no question: AIA Chicago is a far more sophisticated organization today than in 1869. We have all the technological advantages of the information age, and a professional staff that works tirelessly on our behalf to increase the impact of our volunteer work. Despite these improvements, we are essentially still those five colleagues who came together 15 decades ago to serve their profession and society.
Everything the AIA has accomplished is the result of its members working with a shared set of values toward a well-defined goal. It is sometimes tempting to say 'The AIA should…' but there is no 'they' in AIA. When we see an unfulfilled need about which we are passionate, it is our responsibility to act. AIA Chicago offers extraordinary opportunities, unknown to our founders, to make our visions reality. Our knowledge communities, committees, Chicago Architect magazine and chapter staff empower us to leverage our energy and passion like never before.
At a presentation about repositioning at last year's Grassroots Leadership Conference, a lapel pin was handed out. It was one of those cheesy pictures that changes depending on the angle from which it is viewed. From one side it read 'AIA'; from another 'A we A'. A gimmick for sure, but it is as true today as it was in 1869.

Master of Wine Tim Atkin recently spent three weeks in Chile discovering the wine regions
British wine writer Tim Atkin visited the diverse wine valleys of Chile throughout December to discover the latest wines and styles emerging from around the country. Although Tim frequently tastes Chilean wines from home, this was his first trip to the country for several years and he met with many of Chile's top winemakers and experts for private tastings in several wineries and vineyards.
Also a published photographer, Tim works for numerous international publications and has his own website where he publishes reports and articles. We look forward to getting Tim's impressions on Chilean wine soon!

Cloud-based Software Solutions
There are several advantages to hosting your solutions in the cloud. First of all, on-prem infrastructure costs money to run; from electricity and cooling costs, to licensing, to software patching, monitoring, security, and so on. Then, there is the issue of managing growth and being able to scale out as your solution gets adopted more widely. Last but not least, is the issue of maintaining 24/7 availability from anywhere in the world. In our view, cloud-based solutions are uniquely positioned to address all of the concerns above. At the same time, you want to hire a trusted solution developer who can mitigate some of the issues associated with running software in the cloud – namely, performance and connectivity issues that may be inherent to public clouds.
Web API, Systems Integration
Almost every SaaS solution that gets deployed these days comes with its own APIs that can be leveraged by customers wishing to integrate existing on-prem systems and applications. Web API is the most modern and popular method of bridging data from multiple sources. We offer expert advice and development services in the areas of Web API development and hosting, Web API integration/consumption, as well as OAuth/Connect ID authentication and authorization. Web APIs deployed into the public cloud such as Microsoft Azure can also be used as a resilient transport mechanism between two or more applications used by partner companies, or subsidiaries of a geographically distributed enterprise.
Mobile Apps
We can assist customers with development and distribution of native business applications for Apple iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, iWatch), Andriod devices, as well as Windows 10 universal apps. In the case of B2B apps, we develop turnkey solutions that extend existing line of business on-prem applications to the mobile platform (example: an on-prem ERM system that syncs data wirelessly to the mobile devices of the field workforce). We strongly recommend that our customers choose Microsoft Azure cloud for mobile services development and hosting.
Custom Line of Business Software
In addition to the mobile solutions and web services, we develop traditional software for on-prem deployments. We focus solely on the Microsoft app infrastructure (Windows Server, Active Directory authentication, Microsoft SQL Server databases and Microsoft IIS web service hosting). In addition to developing greenfield solutions, we can assist with reverse engineering and augmentation of the legacy solutions, as well as provide independent expert advice on architecture, performance, and security of third-party line of business applications.

Chinese national XueQiang Si is building a Sportsman 2+2 at Glasair's Two Weeks To Taxi program and, upon completion, will fly it to China. XueQiang Si, who will base his plane in city of Laiwu, in Shandong province, reports that his Sportsman will be the first experimental category aircraft to fly in the People's Republic of China.
"There is no homebuilt category in China yet," XueQiang Si says. "I will fly it with an 'N' number first."
XueQiang Si says he selected the Glasair Sportsman because of its STOL performance and because of the Two Weeks to Taxi program, which enables customers to build the entire aircraft in two weeks. "It was perfect for me because I not only saved so much time in building the aircraft, I also learned what I need to know to maintain my Sportsman," XueQiang Si says.
Glasair's Two Weeks to Taxi program complies with the FAA's new 51% rules, allowing customers to build the high-wing four-seat Sportsman with guidance from factory mechanics, according to company officials.
XueQiang Si's Sportsman will feature one of the most advanced instrument panels of any aircraft coming from the Two Weeks to Taxi program to date and will include state-of-the-art Advanced Flight System LCD glass screens with synthetic vision and a VP-200 Climate Control System.
"I am so excited about building and flying my Sportsman that I am planning an around the world flight," XueQiang Si says.

- The Unmasking of Medicine by Ian Kennedy
Allen and Unwin, 189 pp, £8.95, June 1981, ISBN 0 04 610016 4
A few years ago an American physician, Leon Kass, drew attention to a remarkable paradox: that at a time when medical knowledge is greater and technology more powerful than ever before, medicine is assailed by doubts about its role and purpose. Some reasons for the doubts are clear enough: uncertainty about the respective responsibilities of public and private agencies for the finance and administration of health services; rapidly rising costs of medical care and the lack of an acceptable basis for limiting them; gross inequalities in health between continents, between countries, and between different sections of the population of the same country; ethical issues which arise particularly from the ability to prolong or terminate life; and formidable problems of litigation attributable to the difficulty of distinguishing clearly between errors of clinical judgment and negligence. But perhaps the most telling source of uncertainty about medical activities is the possibility that we have overestimated what has been achieved, indeed what can be achieved, by treatment of the sick. We begin to suspect that some disease problems may prove to be, as J.B.S. Haldane said of the universe, 'not only queerer than we suppose but queerer than we can suppose'.
These issues have attracted the attention of many critics of medicine – a term applied indiscriminately to all who question the conventional reading of medical goals and achievements – and most of the points discussed by Ian Kennedy in the 1981 Reith Lectures have been raised before. Nevertheless, his legal approach is novel, and the lectures themselves were well-organised and delivered with remarkable force and clarity. Whatever their reservations about the conclusions, many doctors will have been glad to hear these important matters examined before a large general audience. The book now published comprises the lectures, slightly extended, a bibliography, and an additional chapter which enlarges the discussion of three topical issues: the role of technology in medicine, the care of the dying and the determination of death.
It is pointless to object that Kennedy writes as a lawyer rather than as a physician or administrator: that he does not, for example, present the grounds for thinking that the main determinants of health are outside the medical care system or discuss ways in which the right balance could be achieved between preventive and therapeutic measures. His stance is that of a prosecutor who accuses the medical profession on two main counts: that they have taken the wrong approach to the preservation of health and that they have usurped the rights of the public by accepting responsibility for many moral and ethical decisions which are quite outside their field of competence. He is somewhat disarmed from the outset by the fact that many doctors readily concede some of the points on which he bases his case: that concepts of illness and health are imprecise and involve social and economic as well as medical judgments; that much greater emphasis is needed on the prevention of disease and the promotion of health; that many problems with which medicine is faced – contraception, abortion, screening for disease, prolongation of the lives of the handicapped, the control of technology, and so on – are matters for public debate and decision. There are, nevertheless, several issues on which sharp differences of opinion are likely to arise.
Perhaps the most basic, certainly the most sensitive question is the regard in which medicine is held. Does it justify the respect it has usually been accorded? Illich took the view that, on balance, medicine does more harm than good and that little would be lost if most of its services were abandoned. Kennedy has the good sense to put some distance between himself and this position, although he comes perilously close to it when he writes that 'the nature of modern medicine makes it positively deleterious to the health and well-being of the population.' I do not believe that this view is consistent either with an objective appraisal of medical achievement or with experience of the care of the sick at home or in hospital. Without the understanding provided by medical science our hold on the developments – nutritional, environmental, behavioural and medical – which have transformed health since the 18th century would be as precarious as the advances in Roman hygiene proved to be, and there must be few people who complete their lives without having reason to be grateful to the medical and nursing services for their own or their relatives' personal care. 'It is hard to avoid the conclusion,' Kennedy says, 'that the National Health Service has failed us': a statement that could hardly have been made by anyone old enough to have had personal experience of the situation before the 1948 Act. For all its faults, the NHS has made medical care available to everyone and has removed the burden of direct payment from the large number of people who could ill afford it – an achievement which has not yet been matched in some of the wealthiest countries.

Company Logo
The adult members of the species are light brown on the dorsal surface and dark brown on the ventral with purplish-black lines for camouflage. The females are somewhat larger than the males. They both have prominent eyespots which give the species its common name. These eyespots are used to deter predators from the butterfly's vulnerable body.
Following their re-emergence in early spring, the mature peacock butterflies feed on flowering sallows, dandelions, wild marjoram, danewort and clover fields. The butterflies survival can be contributed to its ability to adapt to the deterioration of its food supply, moving to different forms of vegetation as needed.
The life span of peacock butterflies is almost a year, beginning with the emergence from the egg in early summer to reproductive maturity proceeded by death in late spring. In mid-summer the butterflies utilise the daytime for flight. During the winter, they hibernate in hollow trees and other hiding places. These butterflies, accustomed to the more temperate regions of Eurasia, primarily inhabit woods, fields and meadows. In the garden and park areas, the peacock butterfly is the most common butterfly found.
TARA Systems selected the peacock butterfly for its logo to establish a relationship to colourful graphical displays and the process of metamorphosis and development, which enhances the butterfly as well as every creative mind. The butterfly in our logo is drawn by hand, an early sketch is shown on the right.

I wasn't expecting to see this Osprey fly over. I knew exactly what it was because I really wanted to see one. I made my sister who isn't into birding stop what she was doing, to look up, so she could say she had seen a wild one. And I'm glad I made her. my favourite sighting there by far!
This again was unexpected as it was in the middle of no where with a large group of Whooper Swans. it was purely wild as well as it had no ring.
Great names, enough said
A really smart bird. mainly seen on the River Lune with a few others when the tide is going out, so they were at a distance
These are some amazing birds. they kept together as a small group whilst flying amongst some trees
I love Skylarks, because they are great to watch hovering whilst singing above fields.
This warbler was calling from some reeds when me and my nan were on a walk.
This owl lives in an abandoned barn at Cockerham
There have also been Tree Sparrows, a lot of Little Egrets, Ringed Plovers, Little Ringed Plovers, Curlews, Bar Tailed Godwits, Wheatears, Goldcrests and many other bird species. It really is a genuinely brilliant place.

Happy 111th Birthday, Submariners!
I'll be wearing my dolphins to work today in honor of the 111th Birthday of the U.S. Submarine Force. Happy Birthday, Submariners!
Keeping the blogosphere posted on the goings on of the world of submarines since late 2004... and mocking and belittling general foolishness wherever it may be found. Idaho's first and foremost submarine blog. (If you don't like something on this blog, please E-mail me; don't call me at home.)
I'll be wearing my dolphins to work today in honor of the 111th Birthday of the U.S. Submarine Force. Happy Birthday, Submariners!
Whatever floats your boat. Sometimes it's good to connect with your past. Like the guy who wears his letterman's jacket to homecoming for years after he graduates. Like the guy who stays active in his frat his whole life.
I guess on a warm Summer day sometime I could drop a tab of Acid and wander around Point Reyes, collecting little shiny stones on the beach and exclaiming, Oh Wow, Man!. Nah!
Hey reddog, who peed in your wheaties today? You seem to be poking fun at Joel for wearing his dolphins to work. One of the main purposes of Joel's blog is to promote submarine awareness.
Don't worry about it, Chief--dog strikes me as the guy who burned all his uniforms on his way out the gate.
(Takes sip of "black and bitter" from boat coffee mug...)
Yet despite his seming derision Mr. Reddog spends his time on Submarine blogs - a shrink could have a good time with that.
Happy Birthday o ye Brothers Of The Deep!
Sounds like Mr Reddog has a case of the jealousies. Mayhap a disqual, or mayhap he is just a disgruntled outcast.
I, on the otherhand, second Hughmon's reverie - Happy Birthday, oh ye Brothers Of The Deep!
In the lest we forget column yesterday was a sadder anniversary:
A rare U.S. submarine postcard from the early days raises a few questions.
The date 4-11-1900 is the "official date Holland's (SS-1) keel was laid, rather than the actual date (12-1986) it was laid as the Holland VI (not a commissioned US vessel. The Holland VI was launched 17 Nay 1987, three years before the Navy had a sub.
Confusing? Remember, Submarines are always silent and strange. (c) Juan Caruso- 2006
Good blurb about the Holland here: http://www.navalhistory.org/
Include a cutaway drawing plan.
I also wore my Dolphins to work today.
But I'm in SOAC, and they are required. :)
Oh and I just found out that I will be the WEPS on good ship ALBANY.
Happy birthday, bubbleheads!
Thanks for taking this opportunity to discuss this, I feel fervently about this and I like learning about this subject.Televisore lcd
That's pretty cool.
You guys who are retired should wear your dolphins. I saw quite a few today, and some even had their patrol pin on too. May God bless all Boomer Bitches past, present and future. Time permitting, perhaps the Almighty could also look after those Fast Attack Fags as well. What a fun day, I always like hearing nasty sea stories from the old guys in our shops. Today was pretty cool.
Ha, you just wish you were on a real submarine.
Well, once I finish my shore tour, I might get to be on a real submarine (as apposed to a fake one) for a second sea tour close to the end of July. With all kinds of new & fun toys to play with, I'm fairly certain that SSGN will feel quite real to me.
I am amazed to see such an amazing post. Keep up the good work. oven repair
I got dolphins tattooed on my left forearm back in 1965. I wear my dolphins EVERY DAY.
Why not wear the blue ribbon you got from your fifth grade spelling bee, too? Or maybe your boy scout fudgepacking patch? Fucking gay...move on with your life. None of your current co-workers gives a shit that you were a field-day supervisor.
Trolls gonna troll....
Okay, who let the jarhead in?

This will not work as a matter of fact, that is what I believe.

In a recent blog, we talked about where you can find new & used tents along with panels/walls. Now, we want to inform you how to make your own jewelry display cases and/or buy pedestals!
If you are looking to save yourself some time, then ordering pedestals would be best for you.
The company, Pro Panels, also sells pedestals. These can be used to make a beautiful jewelry display. Click HERE for the Pro Panel website.
Now, here is how you can make your own jewelry display pedestals/cases.
This is the list of supplies: cardboard, craft knife, ruler, craft glue, paintbrush & velvet (or a different type of nice material).
Next, follow these instructions:
(1) Gather cardboard boxes. The amount and sizes you collect depends upon your display needs.
(2) Remove the bottom of the boxes with a utility knife to make shadow boxes. This will give your display a modular look.
(3) Clip pieces of thin velvet (or other fabric) with a craft knife (don't forget to use a ruler to make sure it's even). Use a paintbrush to paint the craft glue onto the backside of the fabric.

I tend to stay away from posting late model STi's because they get so much exposure already, but sometimes I just have to succumb to the greater forces and just post one. We all know I have done it before.
This has to be one of the most perfect examples of this body style I have ever seen. Seriously, my mind has been blown. So clean and simple, yet so damn perfect!

The "Truth" about Fat...And Losing Weight for Good!
The average human has between 10 billion and 30 billion fat cells within the body.
However, an obese person can have in excess of 100 billion fat cells - over 5 times what is considered normal!
Understanding how fat cells work (and where they go when you "lose the fat") is essential when tackling weight loss.
Your body basically stores excess energy within the fat cells in the form of triglycerides. Depending on how much fat your body is storing, the fat cells expand or shrink - but the cells themselves never actually go away. The act of "losing weight" is actually just the act of getting your fat cells to shrink by reducing the amount of fat your body stores.
The trouble is - fat cells don't "go away". However - through excessive eating - fat cells can be created. And once you have the fat cells, you'll always have them and they'll always have the ability to expand.
Surgeries like liposuction can remove unwanted fat cells - but unless you change your eating habits, your body will just create more cells in order to keep up with the amount of excess fat coming into the body.
But, you don't need surgery to get rid of "fat". You just need to adopt a life style that will reduce the amount of fat your body is storing. This can include eating right, exercising, reducing stress, and remaining active.

Since I loose my brain cells, it would be great for the fat cells to keep up:>
I've always heard that fat cells are with you for life and can multiply to keep up with storage of the amount of fatty foods we ingest. But I also heard that even though they shrink when we loose weight, if we don't maintain the weight loss, the weight we put back on will come on quicker and possibly multiply because of this too. Now the article below states that the fat cells do actually die within 10 years so that new ones can take it's place? Hard to make out what to believe.
I'm puzzled about the differences in your two postings this morning. Could you help me sort this out? The subject interests me, but the statements seem to contradict each other.
In your post earlier this morning you said: Many people have a misconception that fat cells can be formed at any stage of life. But, it is not so. They are formed inside the growing fetus during the third trimester of pregnancy. The fat in newborn babies is stored in the form of brown fat used in thermogenesis i.e., generating heat while in adults only white fat is active.
"The number of fat cells remain constant throughout life only the amount of fat stored in it varies."
This discussion says our 10 to 30 billion fat cells can become 100 billion when we develop fat. That's a definite increase. What am I missing here?
I agree with you on what each article says, it does seem like a contradiction, let me see if I can clear up some of this…
From what I recall reading a few years ago concerning fat cells, we are born with a certain amount of them, (the number of fat cells varies in each individual) and each one has a very limited fat storing capacity.
(The book is a book on fat published by Men's Health Magazine, title unknown)
Once we push that individual cell past it's storage capacity another one is created to help with the storage of fat, since they are unable to burst, (as in the case of a water balloon filled to capacity with water) these cells are created on a "need" basis, unlike other human cells which are constantly created to replace cells as they mature and die, yet once they are created they are like all other fat cells, we have them for life since they do not die!
It's not normal for the human body to produce more fat cells, we must push the body well past it's fat storing capacity in order for it to do such.
The book is an excellent book, I will look for it at home (it's there somewhere) and post the title as well as a few excerpts, as well as do a little more research into this subject because it is very interesting and once you know how the body does it (storing fat) it makes it a great deal easier to take it off.
Thanks, Mays. Would appreciate hearing whatever you find. This still sounds like cell division makes the additional cells, though not for the purpose of replicating as it does in the zygote.
This is even more interesting, as well as somewhat contradictive:
Either way, they agree on some key points and yet differ on others!
This is why even after loosing weight, we can have those flaps and sags...all those extra efficient little fat cells doing their jobs. I wish they would just fall out of my finger tips or something.

As women of God we are called to a high standard. We are the bearers of children and submissive wives to husbands who manage our homes. The Lord calls us to be moral and trustworthy.
We are to seek God with all of our hearts while earnestly praying for the wisdom and self-control to live righteous lives. We all need wise counsel and encouragement in this so that our lives more closely identify with God's plan. Titus 2:3-5
The Start of Something Big
The Sisters in Christ Ministry bring women together to encourage each other
Ten months ago Teresa Holderby and Karen Stevens began to pray. God had put the women of the Rock on their hearts and they felt, with their experience and maturity as women, that it was their job to answer the Lord's calling.
"The church is made up of approximately 68% women," states Karen, "there are so many women desiring relationships and needing mentoring that we want to meet that need."
In November, as a response to abundant prayer and obedience to the Lord, a door was opened for Ms. Stevens and Ms. Holderby to meet with pastors of the church. In their meeting with Pastor Miles, Teresa and Karen were asked to step up and invest their time, bringing to life the vision for the Sisters in Christ Ministry that God had given them.
The Ministry Begins to Grow
In starting the ministry, Teresa and Karen knew they would need a team of strong leaders. "We mainly have sought older women to work with us, however, we do have single mothers, divorced women, and we have women whose husbands are not Christian."
Karen says, "We are trying to get a representation of all different walks of life. We want this whole ministry to be bathed in prayer and we are very carefully seeking God."
Overcoming Setbacks
When asked about what setbacks have occurred while the ministry has been in preparation, Karen affirmed that Satan has been trying to use various roadblocks as a discouragement.
"When facing the obstacles, it reminded us of Ephesians 6:12: For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of the age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness " She adds, "If God was not going to create something amazing out of this ministry, then Satan would not even be concerned."
Launching Sisters in Christ
The ladies at the Rock definitely know how to have a good time
With endless prayer and preparation, the Sisters in Christ Ministry (one part of the Women's Ministry) had their first worship service, testimony, and set of classes on Monday January 12, 2004.
The goal of the Sisters in Christ Ministry is found in the acronym "Sisters" which stands for "Spirit-led, Instruction, Sharing, Teaching, Encouraging for Reverent, Submission to God". The Sisters in Christ Ministry provides weekly opportunities for Bible study, fellowship and accountability.
The ministry aims to equip women by offering practical six-week living classes such as financing, budgeting, cooking, sewing, etc as well as courses designed to train up godly women including sessions on dating and marriage relationships.
"I see women out there that are hurting so badly." Karen's concern is obvious with this statement: "I see so many women that are overwhelmed with life. Our main goal is to bring women to maturity in Christ. We want to provide a safe place where they are encouraged in the Lord."
Getting Plugged In
If you would like to get involved in the Sisters in Christ Ministry, the current six-week series continues for two more weeks. The ministry currently meets at Calvary Baptist Church, 6866 Linda Vista Rd, on Monday evenings, from 6:30-8:30 PM.
Keep an eye out on the website and Sunday bulletin for information about upcoming opportunities from the Sisters in Christ Ministry and Women's Ministry.

A modern manager needs to know how to lead people but first of all needs to have a greater knowledge of his or her self, and in facing many new challenges is a crucial need for new leadership methods and models. It is becoming more and more important how well these new approaches are demonstrated by the manager in his/ her daily business behavior. How creative, innovative and flexible he/ she is. Does she/he know how to lead the personal development and the process of change?
It is becoming more and more essential to really understand our own core competences and values, and those of our team members and lead them to the optimal outcomes. It is becoming more and more important to understand ourselves and to hear our inner voice. Sonja Klopcic, M.Sc. has just done that. This is her story.
Sonja Klopcic, the formal director of Oria Computers, and one of the most prominent young managers in Slovenia, has made an important step in her business development. After the most successful business cycle in the company's history and after 14 years of being a leader and so-creator of its sustainable growth, she stepped down to take time to quietly seek guidance from her inner self for the next carrier step. The move was recognized by Slovenian business community as a brave and rather unusual step. The public and media were trying to find "a real reason" for her decision, searching for a scandal or a failure. In Slovenia managers just do not leave good positions for no reason, especially not when the results are great. Or maybe they do. Maybe this is a sign of a new mindset. Maybe we'll be seeing more of that in the future.
Q: How did the last few months, before the decision was announced, look?
A: As the question implies, the decision was not sudden. It was rather a result of a conscious and gradual process. First, I felt deep inside that it is time to close this chapter of my life. At first the thought surprised me too. But when it is continuously recurring you get used to it and you start considering it seriously. Then I suddenly and definitely recognized that the time with Oria was over, that it was time for both of us to make a new step forward.
Q: Have you had, at the turning point, a new story in mind?
A: Not at all. During this process of clarification of the relationship between company and me, I was not thinking about a new step at all. I first wanted to make sure I understand my transformations and needs. Independently. Clearly. To stop a career at the time of very good results and a full support of all business partners (employees, owners, customers, suppliers, local community) was not an easy step. Especially in my case. People were always very important to me. I believe in people and was investing a lot in business relationships. For a lot of people Sonja was Oria. I was aware that the move would be hard for other people too. Therefore, the move had to be well planed. After all, my husband works in the company, too. He is also one of the owners. (comment: Sonja sold her shares in the company right after she took the leading position). I was thinking a lot about this move before talked to anybody (even my husband) about that.
Q: How to pick the right moment?
A: It is hard to say what is the right moment. It is always a shock. First I thought about revealing the new at the end of 2006, but due to the market intensity at that time decided to postpone it until after the New Year.
Q: Whom did you inform first?
A: First I talked to the owners. I gave them some time to think about my successor. As a matter of fact, we were working on this issue together. They agreed to include me in this process actively. So, I was the one who made the first interviews with candidates. At the end we all agreed that to ensure the continuity of Oria's sustainability, an internal person would be most appropriate. I suggested Mr. Miha Praunseis and the owners agreed.
Than the second phase followed: the preparation of a new director for the post. We agreed on a transition period of 1 month.
Q: When did the rest of employees find out about your decision?
A: The close team was the next to know, but just before the actual take over was done. We worked together with a communication specialist on an internal and external communication strategy. The professional help was in this case necessary.
I sent to all employees e-mail. But it was not enough. We were too close. For too long. So, I went to talk to everyone present at headquarters in Zagorje. Personally. It was really needed. My decision came as a shock but the work had to go on. Only than I realized that I was the only one who was in the company from the beginning. I had employed all of them. It turned out that the personal approach was the best way to move forward.
At the same time I realized what a high level of business integrity we all had. The news did not leave the company. Nobody had talked even to his or her friends and family about it (until it become officially a public knowledge). The entire external communication that followed afterwards was lead by the commercial director Gregor Macedoni.
Q: So when was the public informed?
A: The same day we announced a press conference that was carried out a few days later.
Q: And who is Sonja Klopcic today?
A: Still the same substance but with a very rich new experience. I am still a person who loves new things, diversity. I am still very interested in effective processes of transformation of new ideas from a theory to practice.
Q: Where is this urge for exploration and implementation of new coming from?
A: The environment I was growing up in was not to incline to big changes. However, there was always this undisputable attitude towards completion. To complete what you've started. To see the results of your work.
My openness and love for exploration of unknown was really developed later on in (general) high school. There is where I started appreciating the multidisciplinary approach. At the end of the high school I still did not know where to go further. And than my teacher provoked me with a question "Why not technical field?" So, I ended up at the University of Ljubljana – Department of electro technical studies. I got really intrigued by the digital technology, which stayed my passion for a long time.
Q: When have you consciously started differentiating creativity and innovation?
A: Consciously for the first time at my first job at ETI, when I received my first award for innovation. It was a special computer supported appliance for testing electronic equipment. I competed the entire innovation process: from the recognition of a need, to design, technical solution, prototype, and at the end it was sold to another company for a commercial use. With this project I felt for the first time it thinking and independent ideas have their value.
Soon after I joined Oria. However, I have to admit that I made a very conscious mind transformation towards the importance of innovation after 5 years of the management position. We reached the point when only a real new understanding of the IT sector would allow us further growth and development. I realized that we needed to make a change in our business model. We needed a quantum leap. I am glad that we recognized this ahead of time and were able to make a smooth transition. We shifted from computers to services, and later on to solutions.
Q: How much has your technical background contributed to a successful management?
A: I used the concept of systems as defined in electro technical field a lot. I use the modeling with boxes and connections a lot (she gets a smile on her face at this point and it stays with her quite a while). When I was getting my master degree at the Department of Economics, I used to have problems because of my engineering approach. I always had a problem because I thought that there was never enough of substantial data to draw conclusions, special because they expected at the end a very precise number. How can you get out of a loosely defined system a precise answer? There is one more thing from engineering times that helped me a lot on a management position. It has to do with the attitude: an appliance, a prototype has to work at the end. I have an impression in general, that in business world there is not enough discipline for manifestation. To get the job done. Many business people just give up too soon.
Q: What is your attitude towards innovation today?
A: I think that we still too often understand the innovation as a generation of ideas. Implementation is than somebody else's business. Well, I do not think that that is the case. At least what you can do as a manager is that you are bale to put together the right tam that a good idea could be successfully manifested on a market, as well. The team plays an important role in a pre-selection of ideas, too. To really pick the one that has a great chance to be successfully accepted by customers.
Q: In the book "Business evolution", you signed your comment as "innovative manager". Why?
A: I just wanted to point out that I am not only a manager, but I am also an innovator in business. What I meant by that is that I constantly trying to develop a new business models, methods, that I help creating the right business environment for innovation. To write only the word manager was just not enough for me, for my way of working.
Q: Can a manger in innovative company be just a manager, anyway?
A: No. Manager is the one who needs to constantly demonstrate the positive attitude towards innovation. Even with her/his work. If manager is not open for a new concepts, new way of managing, if she/ he is not willing to implement them, the employees will be reluctant too
Q: Do you thing that there is a need for a lot of formal training and education for somebody to be innovative?
A: To be creative, to generate ideas not that much. However, to be able to implement them, to make an innovation out of it, the knowledge is quite essential.
Q: After 5 years of being at the top position at Oria, you have consciously started developing your own career as innovative manager. Why?
A: From the beginning I had a feeling that the innovation is the right direction. However, after you are broadening your horizons, add additional knowledge and experiences, the feeling gets a great support in conscious understanding, as well.
Q. So we can say that that knowledge and experiences give the innovation process the power for manifestation?
A: That's right. Only that you understand that you need to think and work a lot on an issue. After a while it might have appeared that a solution came all of a sudden. But that is not really the case. It came out suddenly but internally you have been processing it maybe for weeks, months. Often we think that creative people are generating new ideas from nothing. The truth is that there is always a heavy duty thinking process behind it.
Q: Which milestones in your personal development as innovative manager would you point out?
A: One of the first ones was for sure the "school of dialogic".
Q: Why?
A: Because that is when I've started to understand the power of relationships in a business process and the leadership through soft indicators.
Second important step was my personal business trainer. 7 years ago this was quite an unusual step. However, it was very important to me. I suddenly had a mirror. For my actions, thoughts. I was able to gain a lot of self-confidence fro the changes I was implementing. The environment where we had our headquarters was not too open for changes, for new mind-sets. So, I needed someone to support me in my search for a new opportunities and at the same time to offer a critically view. Through my personal training I gained the confidence for advanced leadership much faster and in a more structural way. I probably felt a little bit handicapped due to my engineering background, as well. Yet, with I was able to overcome it through my personal development that was additionally encouraged by successful completion of the master's studies in economic major. Through the formal study I gained a conformation for my visions and my way of managing.
Third important element in my development was modern management literature. While reading I was challenging myself and the content of the texts itself. Sometimes is enough the fact that you realize that there is nothing new. And again you raise your confidence and faith in what you do. Especially when you know, that you are doing it for real.
Q: Would you recommend other (young) managers to follow your example? What would you advice?
A: I would recommend a move. I believe that we all need time off. To think about who we are, what we become and where we want to go next. My step was for Slovenian business community something unusual, however, based on the comments that I am getting, respected and appreciated. Many had said to me that they were thinking about the same. Maybe my case will encourage some. We are used that managers are replaced, recalled. However, it is perfectly all right to follow your inner call and take a brake to clear your head and make a next step. It's like a chrysalis in the butterfly's life cycle. We need the chrysalis stage to be able to enjoy the butterflies. Of course you have to be reedy for some negative comments, too. There are many people that believe that the news is only the bad news.
Dear Sonja. Thank you very much for your time, thought the energy you shared. All the best in the further manifestations of your dreams, your core competences and profound innovative concepts wherever you might decide to continue your path.

Personal Financial Coaching is the logical next step in Financial advisory that has seen the evolution of financial advice from life insurance salesman, to brokers, to advisors and planners. At each point the relationship with a client has become closer and more aligned to their needs and objectives and away from selling based on affordability and driven by commission. A financial coach is part life-coach, part business consultant, part teacher and trainer, part financial advisor. Every aspect of your future wealth will be addressed – your income potential, your consumption habits and wealth growth. It is not a static exercise to find out what you 'need' and projecting that forward, nor is it an exercise in exorcising your past demons. The journey will be different and unique for everyone.
Recent Blogs – Personal Financial Coaching
'Needs Analyses' are so last year…
One of my mother's favourite phrases was "I want never gets…" a typical 'protestant ethic' I guess. I have news for her, wants are what makes the world go round. Once we have sorted out our 'needs' the only thing that takes our productivity to a new level is chasing 'wants'. Marketing is the art of changing wants into needs – so we feel better about it.Read more
Low or no
Unless you're in the financial services industry I am sure you don't know – and probably don't care – about the various 'types' of life assurance providers – and until recently the classifications have been pretty loose even at regulatory level. One of the classes of life insurers are the 'low or no' advice providers – mostly the direct environment.Read more
5 Secrets to a Billionaire Mindset
Smart debt? – it sounds like a contradiction. How can debt be smart? In our personal lives we're inclined to use debt for 'lifestyle assets' – houses and cars. A much as it is unavoidable, that isn't the best use of debt. Cheap debt – like mortgage bonds for example are ideally suited to building a property portfolio – and the sooner you do that the better.Read more
Kerenga – Personal Financial Coach
Personal financial plans are great, but there comes times in your life where they are just not good enough. They organise the here and now and project it forward, but they usually don't address you dreams. So why not a life coach then? They're going to help you take your career to the next level, help you get that promotion, but that is only addressing one aspect of your wealth triangle – the inputs. A financial plan is a requirement in terms of the "FAIS act", so you probably have one. It has probably grown out of a 'needs' analysis done by your broker or advisor. Dreams aren't based on needs, they are based on deep seated wants and desires. A plan based on needs is always that just covers your 'needs' and ignores your dreams is ultimately going to fall short of the mark. We don't wake up every morning and get to work just to fill our obligations and hopefully have 'enough' for retirement. Most of us want more. We want to earn more, not be stressed about money or debt and live more without the guilt.
Wealth is what is left when you subtract consumption from your inputs. It is as simple and as complicated as that. Where a financial coach can make a difference is by thinking laterally in terms of inputs (it isn't all about a promotion), give you tax and structuring advice to maximise those inputs. They will also be able to give you a thorough, outsider's view to your consumption and identify wastage, tax inefficiency and financial behaviour that is sabotaging that wealth (without risking your incurring penalties and additional risk by throwing the baby out with the bathwater). The advice on the wealth side is a given, a qualified financial coach should also be a fully qualified and accredited financial planner who can help you funnel your wealth into vehicles that align with your dreams and not just your needs and their commision stream.
Time is one of the most precious commodities we have, and so as not to waste it and more importantly to keep the costs affordable, all the coaching will be done via Skype, with supporting documentation via electronic media. This also extends the contact hours outside of 'working hours' and into the early morning, evening and weekends, when you may have more time and privacy to devote to your personal development. As a client you will need to be comfortable with face-to-face skype calls and using email, web resources, electronic funds transfer etc.
Financial coaching is a blend of life coaching and financial planning, but has the added element of financial education. The focus is on the future, and not the past. A certain amount of 'homework' will be required between sessions, which is common in a coaching scenario. This will differ from dream to dream, but in order to build a solid foundation one needs to organise and uncover the status quo. The 'plan' that is built will be a joint effort, built module by module and not something handed to you on the last day.
The first introductory call, which needs to be booked, is free so that you can assess if this is what you want or need.
The next step will be the Financial Coaching bootcamp.
Financial Coaching Bootcamp: If you decide to go ahead with the bootcamp, you will be sent a proposal and contract with the details of the full 6 session program. It will start with a static data sheet so that we don't waste time on details, followed by a 90 minute Skype call exploring your financial vision for the future and identifying the priority areas to address, and set up actions required by both of us (confirmed by email).
The objective of this 6 session campaign is to:
- Uncover your dreams, goals, objectives.
- Agree on a list of priorities to work on.
- Align your existing income, consumption and wealth with your objectives
- Identify behaviours and beliefs that might sabotage your dreams
- Identify gaps in your knowledge that are barriers to you obtaining those objectives
- Clean-up and organise your existing wealth portfolio and draw up a future scenario and timeline.
The structure and detail of the next five Skype calls (45 minutes) is going to depend on what we identify as priorities. Ideally these calls should be 1-2 weeks apart and actions will be required by both of us: organising, restructuring or researching.

I really want to be that awesome mom whose kids get nutritional Pintrest worthy lunches complete with a sweet note, but most days the kids are lucky I remember to pack them a lunch at all. And I actually forgot a drink for my daughter once. Still I like to surprise my daughter with a note in her lunch every now and again. And I think it might be cute to do for my son, even though I am usually in the next room when he eats lunch at Pre-School (I work in the office there). So when I saw the cute stamp set Just Keep Swimming in the 2017 Occasions catalog, I knew it would be perfect. Here are some quick and easy card I made with this fun stamp set along with the Brights Color collection:
These little stamps are just adorable and even though some are two and three step stamping, they were really easy to make. I just took some card stock cut 3" by 6" and scored at 3". The background paper is from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack (and the Neutrals). I also created matching envelopes with that DSP using the Envelope Punch Board. Here is a look at each card:
I used the Watercolor Wash background stamp for this one and added some White Perfect Accents for bubbles.
These gummy bears are so adorable!
How yummy are these macarons?
This monster might be my favorite. I am definitely going to make some Valentines with this stamp!
For this one, I used the Gold sheet from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack. I stamped the gem in black and then added some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter to make it sparkle!
These cards we so easy to make! I would even say that they were quick and easy just like the cards featured over at SSI. Head over there for more quick and easy cards!

Enzymes are the important part of natural food that causes it to age. For example, enzymes are the part of a banana that cause it turn from green to yellow to brown which is the banana digesting itself. It is necessary for all food to have their own enzymes in order to spare our digestive enzymes from becoming overworked and depleted.
In an effort to increase the shelf life of food, the food industry removes crucial enzymes and does not replace them. For example, a fresh caught tuna fish may last about 3 days while a can of tuna fish can last 3 years. When food can last this long on the shelf the important enzymes have been removed which make it impossible to digest. Food without enzymes will remain undigested in the gastrointestinal tract eventually becoming rotten and toxic to our body. Eating food without enzymes for a long period of time is the direct cause of many of our society's chronic degenerative diseases.
We have studied and become experts in enzyme therapy. We are trained to use special testing to identify what your body specifically digests and does not digest. If testing determines that you are not able to digest certain foods than we will design a unique diet program combined with specific plant enzyme formulas. Our goal is to help you digest your food properly, get rid of any symptoms and reverse the disease process.
Signs That Dietary Modification Is Needed:
Stiff, sore joints
Gas pain – Bloating
Constipation – Diarrhea
Anxiety – Irritability
Restlessness – Insomnia
Symptoms of Protein Deficiency
Increased secretions in mouth/nose/eyes
Edema – hands and feet
Cold hands and feet
Muscle cramps at night
Menstrual cramps
Bleeding gums
Extreme soreness after exercise
Symptoms of Carbohydrate Deficiency
Decreased secretions in mouth/nose/eyes
Water loss (dehydration)
Inability to concentrate
Muscle cramps during exercise
Muscle weakness
Easily startled
Loss of energy and fatigue
Symptoms of Fat Deficiency
Dry skin
Biliary Dysfunction
Inability to control blood pressure
Inability to induce labor
Falling hair
Inability to conceive

Winter's Twilight
Isaac "Fox" Kross
Isaac Kross wakes up. His mouth full of sand. Head throbbing like it would explode any minute. Stoned? Drunk? Not a good day.
Funny, though, he only remembers his name. Moments later, when his senses come back, Isaac finds himself in the middle of Anauroch's sweltering heat.
Anauroch, also known as the Great Sand Sea, is a huge expanse of sand. Dotted by Netherese ruins and jagged spires, it is barren as far as the eye can see. One of Northern Faerun's most formidable and despicable places.
"What in Elminster's balls am I doing here?!?", Kross mutters to himself, a gaggle of vultures hover overhead.
From the corner of his eye, Kross spies a woman approximately a hundred yards away, hiding behind sand dunes to the East. He tries to call her attention. The woman runs. Isaac, almost at an instant, is fast in pursuit.
"I never knew I could run this fast", the human was talking to himself again. A few seconds later, Isaac was almost ready to tackle her.
But he stopped short.
From the distance, half a dozen Bedine warriors on Camel-back were making their way towards him.
They didn't look friendly. No, sir. Even a stupid Orc could figure that out.
"Not a good day"; Isaac whispered.
Their raised, blood stained Scimitars were not a good sign.
Isaac "Fox" Kross of the Fire Knives
Human Rogue (Knife Master Archetype)
Fact: Isaac Kross was given the nickman "Fox" by his fellow assassins because of his cunning and unconventional tactics that he employs to gain desired results in his missions.
Isaac Kross was a free agent of the Fire Knives. He is known to accept outrageous assassination jobs, always choosing missions that would put him on ridiculous situations, situations that would challenge both his wit and skills. It was this wild disposition of his that made him choose the Zhentarim over the"name maker" assassination mission that the Black Masks offered him. The Zhentarim approached Isaac with a fifty thousand gold mission: he was to track and intercept a certain Harper named Lysandros. That mission came with a special request, if he can bring Lysandros alive and unharmed to the Zhentarim, he will be given another twenty thousand gold. He was sold. He knew his skills will be put to the test, kidnapping a Harper agent is never an easy job. He accepted the mission only after giving his terms: That he will be working alone, and that he will only be paid, a single gold piece.
It took him three weeks to track down Lysandros, by then he already knew that the Harper Paladin was traveling with a band of adventurers, and after sacrificing half a bag of gold he was able to gather enough intelligence to uncover their goals.
And that was when he decided to weave a devious plan.
It didn't take long before he found himself dodging Asabi ambush points and admiring the vast and dry empty landscape of the Anauroch desert. After studying the position of the sun against the landmarks and mountain faces, he calculated that he was not far from the Bedine's main camp. If his prediction is correct, it will be the very camp were Lysandros and his group will be stopping by in about a week's time.
From his travel pack he pulled out a small baseball sized stone, its ivory surface glimmering against the desert sun. Those who are familiar with this artifact will know that it is a Stone of Memory, a magical stone that allows Wizards and Sorcerers to channel and save their thoughts for future use. But of course, Stone of Memories are hard to get by, and only the prestigious Sorcerers and Wizards have access to them, Isaac was no Sorcerer, nor was it a real Stone of Memory.
It was in fact a flash bomb crafted to appear like a Stone of Memory and it uses a special spark mechanism, it is imbued with Magic Mouth and it was set to trigger when the right verbal command was given. This flash bomb was Isaac's insurance. The bomb was also cloaked by a high level Illusion spell, in case someone would want to inspect its true use.
With the fake Stone of Memory on his hand, he knelt to the ground, closed his eyes, and proceeded to the next phase of his plan, the hardest phase, the part where he erases his memory and insert a new one for the sake of disguise. (Self-Imposed Memory Alteration)
Two hours later, Isaac "Fox" Kross, of the Fire Knives will be woken up by Iryne as Isaac "Fox" Kross the Bard.

Currently reading: NORTHERN WINTERS ARE MURDER
One of my deliveries last week brought a big smile to my face: NORTHERN WINTERS ARE MURDER by Lou Allin, a Canadian author who has graciously given her time to be one of the Ngaio Marsh Award judges the past two years, and has provided a lot of advice about setting up the award and a crime writing society in New Zealand (Allin is one of the VPs of Crime Writers Canada).
I've been meaning to read one of Allin's books for quite a while, but unfortunately they're not readily available in New Zealand. So recently, despite a vow to try to stop buying so many books (as I have far too many in the TBR pile already, let alone all the various review copies I'm sent), I purchased NORTHERN WINTERS ARE MURDER from Amazon. Here's the blurb:
Another freezing winter descends in seeming peace upon the Northern Ontario lake where realtor Belle Palmer lives genteelly with her dog, tropical fishes and classic film collection. But the snow-laden tranquillity is tragically disturbed when a good friend is lost in a freak snowmobile accident on an isolated lake. Or so it seems. Belle and others suspect foul play, but a motive and a criminal prove hard to find. Resort owners, anti-environmentalists and the new local drug dealers may all have had reason to want Jim Burian quietly removed, and information isn't forthcoming. Belle is determined to find out what happened to this decent man, but she is shocked when she discovers what twisted roots underlie this savage crime on idyllic northern ice.
I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what happens. You can read my 9mm interview with Allin here.
Have you read any of Lou Allin's mysteries? What do you think of her Belle Palmer tales?

This one of the best appraisals of evidence based medicine(EBM):
It highlights one important pitfall of EBM, ie its failure to integrate scientific(biological) plausibility in the pyramid of evidence.
I think the best way to effect a synthesis between evidence from clinical data and biological plausibility is through a Bayesian argument:
– Decide on a standard EBM approach to synthesize the clinical data regarding a hypothesis from multiple sources eg a meta-analysis
– Encode the non-clinical, background knowledge into a prior. This prior encodes the scientific plausibility of the hypothesis under question
A Bayesian analysis of the clinical data under a scientific plausibility prior provides a transparent way to leverage the pyramid evidence of EBM while providing a basic science/disease understanding context for the interpretation of clinical data.

It's Me again with another nail art design, this is from last year but people seemed to like it so I thought I'd show it.
This at the time was brilliant for me, probably one of the first 'good' ideas I had since getting into nail polish and different designs. It's probably obvious that I had no dotting tools or striping tape at this time!
I promise to post some new up-to-date ideas that I've had recently, and also some autumn buys, but for now here are the Alice nails:
|Alice in Wonderland
Blueberry Ice Cream ~ Barry M
Collection 2000 ~ French White
Primark ~ Neon Purple

WordPress 1.5.2 Out
The developers at WordPress have released WordPress 1.5.2. Release notes include (what appear to be) handlings for xml-rpc issues and register_globals as well as some speed and convenience issues. Looks like a good one.
I'll soon be posting a review of a particular shopping cart I've been installing in the last month; seems to be fairly well search engine friendly. :)
Have your say ...
First-time comments will be held for moderation (but comments are appreciated). Otherwise, just be courteous. If your name is a bunch of keywords, your comment will be deleted. Don't post links unless highly pertinent. Posters must be 16 or older.

If you've ever tried to extract a picture from a Word document, you'll know what I mean. Copying and pasting into an image editor does not work: images come out scaled, depending on their size on the page in the Word document, and the colours are horribly mutilated.
But since Word is able to scale and display the picture properly, the data must be there. And it is possible to extract it. How? The following steps work in Word 2003, and allegedly in Word 2000 as well.
- Click File, Save as Web Page….
- Choose Web Page for the Save as type.
- Save it anywhere you like.
- Look in the folder DocumentName_files, and voila! Next to the JPGs that are actually used in the HTML, you'll find the original images (PNG, JPG or whatever), at the original resolution!
Credits go to the people in this forum thread that I found through Google. If you can't get it to work as stated above, the thread mentions some more things you can try.

Well its official: We have a great Transformers 3 story. The release date is now July 1st 2011. Not 2012.There you have it, likely return of the core cast including Fox, the writer Ehren Kruger who helped co-write Revenge of the Fallen, and Bay as director. I wouldn't mind knowing the back story on what changed Bay's mind on taking that year break from the franchise. Thanks to all that sent in a heads-up on the news.
Today is Day One. This morning started with an ILM meeting for five hours in San Francisco. Currently I'm flying with writer Ehren Kruger to Rhode Island to talk to Hasbro about new characters.
P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you.
Pain and Gain is right after shooting of Trans 3.
Update: From Dark Horizons, a little bit of information about the competition that TF3 will face in the sequel rich summer of 2011. Once again, chances are high that the movie will go head to head against Harry Potter with Deathly Hallows Part II, but also Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Spider-Man 4, Cars 2, The Hangover 2, and Kung-Fu Panda 2 are scheduled. In addition, Green Lantern, Thor, and Captain America have eyed that summer. The net result is its going to be an expensive summer for geekdom and hyper competitive for the studios.

Can you imagine a purple or pink haired girl rising to the occasion of being named female entrepreneur of the year? Doe Deer started out in Russia selling novelty tattoos to her friends in school, but not before becoming popularized herself by wearing them. The trend caught on fast and she learned the concept of being an entrepreneur and making money. She also loved making her friends happy and building their confidence. Shortly after, by 17, she lived in New York City and would become a part of a music band and learn the art of marketing from this experience.
Lime Crime Cosmetics Is Born
Doe Deere didn't remain a rockstar because other endeavors were meant to be her calling and she was never afraid to go with her unconventional way of thinking. Deere married the soloist, left the band, and improved her marketing skills. She was tired of the traditional dull colors of the late 90's and decided that makeup needed a facelift. She was determined to create bright and vibrant colors that would soon captivate other women alike. Doe Deere started formulating and creating her own makeup and Lime Crime was quickly born.
She creates colors that dare women to be brave and make a statement with their makeup. Lime Crime offers a unique blend of makeup options that work well for busy professionals, celebrities, and everyday makeup wears. Her products are formulated with a velvetine matte base that goes on smooth and dries to a perfected mold on your eyelids or lips. Her line of products offers eye shadows and lipsticks. PR Newswire reports that their metallic colors have been one of their most popular releases of the year. Best of all, her products are waterproof, but you won't have any problems removing them when you're ready to take off your makeup.
You can order their products and have them conveniently shipped to your door. They offer free shipping on all purchases over a certain amount and their members are guaranteed several promotional offers that gives them the opportunity to try new products. Discover the boldness of Lime Crime as a makeup option you'll love.

Stealing Steel Corporation of the Philippines
In this article, you will find out about one of the problems in the Philippine Government. Sad to say, there are some people in the three branches of the government who are inefficient and ineffective in doing their tasks and duties. Again, I would like to highlight that NOT all government officials fail in what they need to do. There are still those who are able to offer great service to the Filipinos.
Please check the article below and let me know what you think about it.
And by all indications, while the war against corruption is now being won in the government bureaucracy, the judiciary seems to be losing the battle even after the impeachment of former Chief Justice Renato Corona who was dragged into various allegations of corruption and other indiscretions.

Long Shrub in Meadow
Cynic's Carbon-Based Anatomy is out tomorrow. Originally, the idea was to buy the record at whatever show I go to when they come to Europe, but then my girlfriend slapped me with a dose of logic: if I did that, I wouldn't know any of the songs when I saw them. Dang. Of course, I could just download it and listen to it until I get it from the show. I'm not opposed to doing that, as I have several times. The band's going to be getting my money, anyway, right? What's the harm in cheating by a few days?
But, eh, not going through the ritual of oogling the sleeve while my ears meld with my headphones feels wrong. Sometimes waiting for it is worth it - this was the case with Intronaut's Prehistoricisms, for example. After making the mistake of getting Void in digital form (sorry, but getting the CD and then ripping it to my HDD in something like FLAC beats saving a couple bucks on average-quality mp3s, and I won't make that mistake again... I hope), my rigid determination to get a CD version of Prehistoricisms meant that, at a time when funds were scarce, I had to wait for a long while before getting it (as a present from the person literally dozing next to me right now, no less). I tried to rationalise downloading it before inevitably buying it, but, again, not having it in my hands when I listened to it for the first time just didn't feel right. So, I waited, which sucked, but getting to peel open the case gave me a wonderful feeling of satisfaction for not succumbing to the temptation of cheating.
So, should I cheat or wait a month? Fungible principles be damned? Yeah, I never said I was a patient person (actually, I have, but I'm trying to prove a point here so let me fib), so I'm going to do neither and just pre-order it. Not knowing the songs note-by-note be damned!
In conclusion, that's a long shrub, and it's in the middle of a meadow.
