J Walker
On retiring from the Army, I was most fortunate to find such an invaluable mentor as JC. His positive approach, professionalism and shrewd insights were essential factors in my successful job application. With his personal military experience combined with a comprehensive knowledge of civilian employment requirements and opportunities, he is especially well-placed to provide guidance, scope individual needs and identify employment possibilities.
Brigadier X
I have found the process with you and your company to be nothing short of fantastic and you have simplified it in a way, that makes your company approachable. You are a straight forward man and there is no fluff around anything you say. This is refreshing in it's approach, as most recruitment companies tend to lead you down a garden path.
You are incredibly thorough and punctual, as well as caring about the individual that is applying through your company. I find this empathy, to be nothing short of incredible and it has really helped me to maintain realistic expectations, as well as being able to openly and honestly converse with you in ways that are simply not possible with any other recruitment company.
I hope your company goes from strength to strength and hopefully you become the first port of call for members that have transitioned out of the Military, as I believe there life would be much easier in doing so.
Todd P
Over the years I have registered with several different agencies (civilian and military) and not one has ever been of any use to me whatsoever, either not finding me any work or, worse, sending me to assignments which were totally unsuitable.
It was only by chance that a colleague told me of Ex-Mil Recruitment and I registered with you and you responded by return, since which time you have been in regular communication with me, giving advice and guidance and most especially close liaison with the employer offering the vacancy.
With your assistance I attended two interviews, the first to make selection from several candidates which whittled us down to three and the second (yesterday) to make a final decision from the three remaining, from which I was delighted to be offered the post.
This is all down to your personal excellent communications and liaison and I am most grateful.
Paul G

Pleasingly, the individual that we subsequently recruited significantly exceeded our expectation for the role and has effectively "bought us" added capacity for the budgeted price of the role.

ATLANTA, March 12, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Newell Rubbermaid (NYSE:NWL) announced it will reaffirm its fiscal year 2014 outlook, as provided in its fourth quarter 2013 earnings press release dated January 31, 2014, during its presentation at RBC Capital Markets' Consumer & Retail Conference on March 13, 2014.
The company will note that its first quarter results will be negatively impacted by the broad weather-driven retailer point of sale challenges in the United States and lost sales and costs associated with last month's announced recall of toddler car seats. The company expects the combined impact of these events to negatively affect the first quarter 2014 global core sales growth rate by approximately 100 to 200 basis points and normalized earnings per share by approximately 3 to 4 cents.
For the full year, the company expects to recover momentum led by its strong brand and innovation plans, extensive savings programs related to Project Renewal, and the natural rebound of point of sale in key US retailers as the seasons finally change.
Michael Polk, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "As a result of the progress we have made over the past several years driving our Growth Game Plan into action, our company is far stronger and more nimble today. This enables us to respond in stride, adjusting our full year plans to absorb the first quarter disruption related to the broad weather-driven retailer point of sale challenges and the toddler car seat recall."
As a result, the company's full year guidance remains unchanged for 2014:
- Core sales growth of 3 to 4 percent
- Normalized operating margin improvement of up to 40 basis points
- Normalized EPS of $1.94 to $2.00
- Operating cash flow between $600 and $650 million
A reconciliation of the 2014 earnings outlook is as follows:
|Diluted earnings per share
|$1.61 to $1.67
|Restructuring and restructuring-related costs
|$0.29 to $0.37
|Normalized EPS
|$1.94 to $2.00
President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Polk will present on March 13, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. ET. The presentation will be webcast live and may be accessed through Events & Presentations in the Investor Relations section of the Newell Rubbermaid website at www.newellrubbermaid.com. The webcast will be archived and available for replay.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release contains non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and includes a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The company uses certain financial measures that are included in this press release both in explaining its results to stockholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. The company's management believes that these measures - including those that are "non-GAAP financial measures" - and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures (a) permit investors to view the company's performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate the company's past performance, reportable business segments and prospects for future performance and (b) determine certain elements of management's incentive compensation.
The company's management believes that core sales is useful to investors because it demonstrates the effect of foreign currency on reported sales. The effect of foreign currency on reported sales is determined by applying a fixed exchange rate, calculated as the 12-month average in the prior year, to the current and prior year local currency sales amounts, with the difference in these two amounts being the change in core sales and the difference between the change in as reported sales and the change in core sales reported as the currency impact. The company's management believes that "normalized" earnings per share, which excludes restructuring and restructuring-related charges and one-time events such as losses related to the extinguishments of debt, tax benefits and charges, impairment charges, discontinued operations and certain other items, is useful to investors because it permits investors to better understand year-over-year changes in underlying operating performance. The company also uses both core sales and normalized earnings per share as two of the three performance criteria in its management cash bonus plan.
The company determines the tax effect of the items excluded from normalized diluted earnings per share by applying the estimated effective rate for the applicable jurisdiction in which the pre-tax items were incurred, and for which realization of the resulting tax benefit, if any, is expected.
While the company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the company's performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies.

February 25, 2011
The Wabash baseball season starts this year at the same place it ended last season.
Head coach Cory Stevens will get his first chance to see how his experienced team fares against another squad when the Little Giants travel to Chillicothe, Ohio to play single nine-inning games against Bluffton College and Case-Western Reserve on Saturday, then a doubleheader against Case-Western Reserve on Sunday.
The games will be played at VA Memorial Stadium, which is the site for the North Coast Athletic Conference Postseason Tournament. Wabash advanced to the postseason tournament for the second straight year last season, but saw its season end with a 7-1 loss to Denison in an elimination game.
"I wanted to open our season there just so our players would have a chance to play there during the regular season," Stevens said. "But more than that, I wanted to play there just to show the players that this is the place we want to get back to."
With the experience Wabash has returning, the Little Giants have higher hopes than just getting back to the conference tournament. The Little Giants now have their sights set on winning the NCAC. Wabash was picked to finish second behind defending conference champion Wooster in the preseason polls released Thursday.
"We want to win the NCAC," said junior John Holm. "We were picked to finish second behind Wooster, which is fine because Wooster has a deep winning tradition. But we have some freshmen that worked hard during the offseason and our veteran players returning did a good job of coming back more of leaders and we feel like we have a good chance to win the NCAC."
Wabash returns all its position starters from last year's team that finished 19-23 overall and 9-7 in the North Coast Athletic Conference.
With the experience returning, there will be few changes to the lineup to open the season.
Senior Joe Johnson returns to second base, junior John Pennington will be back at shortstop and senior Dave Seibel will be at third base. There also will be no change to the outfield with sophomore Montana Timmons back in left field, junior Brian Lares in center field and junior Chris Deig in right field.
Timmons comes off a freshman year where he was named First-Team All NCAC. Deig was named to the second team along with catcher PJ Tyson.
Holm could be in various spots. He will be used to back-up Tyson at catcher. Holm (below left) played catcher his senior year at Naperville Central High School. He also could be used a first base along with senior Tanner Coggins, and also could be used as a designated hitter.
"We just don't want PJ having to catch 40 out of 40 games," Stevens said. "John is just such an athlete. I think we could put him at shortstop and he would do fine there. He is one of the most baseball-intelligent guys that we have on the team."
While the Little Giants have veterans in the field, their inexperience lies on the mound.
While Wabash does have some pitching experience returning — including starters junior Andrew Swart and senior Brian Van Duyn — there also will be some young arms used in the early season. Swart, a Crawfordsville graduate, was named honorable mention all conference after going 4-5 with a 4.97 earned-run average last year. Van Duyn pitched 11 games, starting six of those, last year.
"We don't have a set No. 1 pitcher yet," Stevens said. "Swart and Van Duyn are both interchangeable."
Swart (above right) and Van Duyn will start Saturday's games. Starters for Sunday's doubleheader will be sophomore Chris Widup and freshman Luke Holm — John's younger brother.
Widup started six games for Wabash last year, going 3-3 with a 4.57 ERA. Luke Holm helped pitch Naperville Central to an Illinois state championship last year.
"He came here with two pitches and his velocity was down a bit," Stevens said. "But during the offseason he worked hard and he picked up a third pitch and added about three or four miles per hour to his velocity."
Freshman lefthander Nate Adams also will see time on the mound. Also fighting for spots are junior lefthander Pete Schmith and junior Eric Foust, who both are returning from last season.
"The question mark for this team is going to be our pitching staff, which was one of our weaker areas last year," Stevens said. "We really put a lot of focus on that during the fall and winter."
Stevens expects to see the same amount of success from his offense, which batted .336 last year.
Timmons (left) led the Little Giants with a .385 batting average, while Holm broke the school record for home runs in a season with 15.
Stevens is interested in how Wabash's offense reacts to the new bat limitations set forth by the NCAA. Stevens said the new rule is designed to bring both power numbers and ERA's down.
"I haven't swung it against another team's pitcher yet, so I don't know what kind of pop I'm going to get off the bat," John Holm said. "But we can't worry about the things that we can't control and should have another good offensive year."
Stevens designed his schedule around Wabash's goal of winning a NCAC title. The Little Giants play three Division I schools — Purdue, Butler and Valparaiso. They also head to Los Angeles for their spring trip. Wabash opens that trip with a three-game series against Chapman. Chapman, which has been in the Division III College World Series six out of the last eight years, is ranked in the top 10 in one poll and in the top 15 in another poll.
Wabash has its home opener March 19 against Wilmington.


text: Soybean Carryout at Nine-Year Low September 12, 2012 10:31 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Fran Howard AgWeb Contributing Writer Email USDA's long-awaited September World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) held few surprises. "The report is modestly bearish across the board," says Jonah Ford, senior analyst with Ceres Hedge, Chicago. Ford was the commentator on a post-report MGEX conference call. Corn and wheat futures sank following the report, but soybean futures climbed. USDA's September estimate for corn production came in at 10.727 billion bushels, slightly lower than the average estimate of 10.779 billion. The department forecast for the U.S. average yield is 122.8 bushels per acre, below the average trade estimate of 123.4 bushels per acre. USDA also estimates 2012-13 corn-ending stocks at 733 million bushels, well above the average estimate of 618 million bushels. Perhaps the biggest surprise in corn numbers was USDA's estimate of old-crop carryout, which the department raised to 1.181 billion bushels, substantially higher than the trade estimate of 1.014 billion bushels and 160 million bushels higher than last month's estimate. The drop in old-crop corn demand came primarily from the livestock sector. "As the lower-quality, new-crop corn is harvested, it is probably going to be fed right away, and the higher-quality old-crop corn will be stored," says Chad Hart, agricultural economist with Iowa State University. The higher old-crop carryout also helped boost new-crop carryout in USDA's September estimates. USDA lowered its average estimate for new-crop corn prices from last month's $7.50 to $8.90 to $7.20 to $8.60 this month. USDA puts soybean production at 2.634 billion bushels, below the average trade estimate of 2.692 billion bushels. The department expects average soybean yield to be 35.3 bushels per acre, below the average trade guess of 36.1 bushels per acre. USDA's estimated 2012-13 carryout is now 115 million bushels, which is higher than the average trade estimate of 106 million bushels. "A 115-million-bushel carryout would be a nine-year low," says Ford. The last time the soybean carryout was that low was in 2003-04, when soybean prices soared due to drought in Indiana and Illinois and heavy export demand. Even so, USDA left its estimates for new-crop soybean prices unchanged from last forecast of $15 to $17/bu. "The changes in the U.S. wheat numbers were pretty much irrelevant to the big picture," says Ford. USDA estimates total production of 2.268 billion bushels, which in line with the average estimate. USDA's yield estimate for wheat of 46.5 bushels per acre is also in line with the average trade estimate. The new-crop carryout estimate of 698 million bushels, however, is lower than the average trade estimate of 709 million bushels. USDA also lowered the average new-crop price for wheat from last month's $7.60 to $9/bu. to $7.50 to $8.70 in the September report. "A lot of sales are already done," says Ford. "I expect price weakness from here." Globally, the wheat supply is dropping. "There's not much concern about a ban on Russian exports at this point because Russia does not have wheat to export," says Ford. Problems are also developing in Australia. "There (eventually) could be as much as 5 million tons taken off production," says Ford. "Australia could have a pretty weak crop this year." …………………………… Coverage, Analysis of the Sept. 12 Reports See all of the data, coverage and analysis of today's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates and Crop Production reports.

text: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 APTA Joins New Go4Life Campaign Because of our profession's commitment to healthy aging, APTA has joined the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Go4Life campaign as a Go4Life team member. The federal campaign, which promotes the health benefits of physical activity for people 50 and older, was unveiled on Wednesday, October 19, at a briefing on exercise and aging on Capitol Hill. Go4Life encourages sedentary older adults to reap health benefits by making physical activity part of their daily lives. Only 25% of people aged 65-74 say they engage in regular physical activity. The campaign was conceived, and is being led, by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), the component of NIH devoted to research on aging. NIA will work with the Go4Life community on events and will highlight participating organizations and their activities on the campaign Web site. Comments This is great! I read the NIH info yesterday and thought APTA should be doing this.....good for you!!! Posted by Nannine Dahlen on 10/21/2011 4:37 PM

The message sent Twitter into meltdown last night as the tweet went viral before US Airways deleted the graphic image.
One theory is the wrong link was posted into the tweet by US Airways' social media team after someone tweeted the same obscene image at the US Airways' Twitter account earlier in the day.
The link to the image was posted into a conversation about a customer's complaint, in place of a link that should have taken the customer to an online complaint form.
Last night US Airways apologised for the "inappropriate image" and claims it is "investigating" the matter, but has not yet updated the public on the investigation.
We apologize for an inappropriate image recently shared as a link in one of our responses. We've removed the tweet and are investigating.
— US Airways (@USAirways) April 14, 2014
The message sent Twitter into overdrive and even saw US Airways garner more attention than the Pulitzer Prize, the winners of which were announced at the same time.
Obligatory @USAirways vs Pulitzer Prize chart pic.twitter.com/SNpRi3gKj8
— Jared Keller (@jaredbkeller) April 14, 2014
The graphic tweet let to an outpouring of jokes, with one Twitter user expressing faux surprise that US Airways had not used the situation to its advantage.
Pity. All US Airways had to do was add "You can still dunk in the dark" to that picture & they would have been the toast of the ad world.
— Chapinc (@Chapinc) April 14, 2014
Nick Hearne, senior creative at We Are Social, said: "Trust is necessary to produce brilliant responsive social content. Reply quickly and problems and complaints can be tackled before they snowball.
"The US Airways tweet yesterday is an example of the kind of rogue posting that will likely break this trust between clients and social media managers. US Airways have an opportunity to turn this bad situation around and dig themselves out of this social hole. A few well considered tweets could face the issue head on and convert this faux pas into new followers and brand love."

1-to-1 Programs | News
Panama's National Secretariat for Science, Technology, and Innovation (SENACYT) has adopted a program to enable 100,000 children to access digital technologies at school.
SENACYT had previously worked with EXO U, a software provider that helps organizations embrace bring-your-own-device (BYOD), to establish a classroom of EXOdesks — table-sized interactive touchscreen devices — at the National University of Panama. Students at the university use the EXOdesks to access educational information, and the university is using EXO U's framework to develop applications based on user-generated content and real-time feedback from students and teachers.
Following the success of the EXOdesk implementation at the university, SENACYT is now using EXO U's universal application framework to provide 100,000 students in Panama with device-agnostic access to the latest technologies and digital content. According to the company, the program will enable children of all economic backgrounds to have access to some of the world' most innovative digital technologies.
"Technology has positively impacted many facets of our life but its benefits haven't been fully realized in the education system," said Ruben Berrocal, the Panamanian minister of science, technology, and iInnovation, in a prepared statement. "Distributing and managing digital assets with a technology that gives all our students a consistent experience and access to the best curriculum is imperative to bringing economic development and positive change to our country. That is why we are thrilled to be partnering with EXO U to completely redefine the traditional classroom. By delivering our students anytime access to the latest computing technologies and digital content we are dramatically enhancing their learning experience."
Panama will use EXO U to develop its own private application store that lets students access educational content from any device without the need for an always-on Internet connection. According to EXO U, Panama's students and teachers will be able to use the applications created with the framework for greater collaboration, productivity, and knowledge sharing.
Further information about EXO U's universal application framework is available on EXO U's site.

The School of Veterinary Medicine and Science was launched in 2006, in new purpose-built facilities ─ a landmark as the UK's first new Vet School since the 1950s.
Originally established in the 1900s as an agricultural college, the School has grown radically into today's internationally renowned centre for cutting edge research in five Divisions:
The campus enjoys a mature landscaped setting including an arboretum and a lime avenue, originally planted to commemorate those lost in the First World War and said to have a 'Queen's Shilling' buried under every tree.
A new Masterplan for the campus was commissioned in 2008 and will provide a framework for the future development of the campus. As part of this, two new teaching and research buildings opened in 2011: Gateway Building and BioEnergy and Brewing Science Building.
Sutton Bonington is just a 25 minute car journey from the University Park Campus and a shuttle-bus service runs between the two campuses regularly during the day.

Women's four competes in Head of the Charles Regatta
October 20, 2012 | Boston, Mass.
The Liberty University varsity women's four made a trip to Boston, Mass., to compete in the 48th annual Head of the Charles Regatta on the Charles River Oct. 19-20.
The Head of the Charles is the largest two-day crew race in the world, with boats from all over the country and some foreign nations converging to participate in the history-rich tradition. More than 9,000 athletes participate in 55 different races, with more than 300,000 spectators lining the river over the two days. Boat clubs, NCAA programs, and college club teams compete for one of the coveted guaranteed spots in the next year's race.
Liberty made its second appearance in the prestigious race, sending one boat. The boat, comprised of Arielle Ross, Abigail Lenz, Lindsey Churchill, Kylie Peterson, and coxswain Anna Hickman, finished 27th in the 45-boat field with a time of 20:51.85 for the women's club four race. Liberty was the top finishing collegiate club team in the race, finishing ahead of schools like Penn State, Colgate University, Hofstra University, and the Harvard Business School.
"This was a very competitive field," said Flames Head Coach Ryan Hurley. "This race was another big step in the right direction for this squad. It's also another exciting sign of things to come for the team as we move forward this season."
The full team will next be in action at the Head of the Occoquan Regatta near Fairfax, Va., Nov. 3.

This holiday season companies are shying away from traditional pricey holiday gift giving, and sticking to an economical approach. With company budgets still tight for some, gift givers are looking for the most cost-effective, charitable, or personal gifts to send this year.
Though skipping client gift giving altogether is not recommended, experts say sending gifts can positively impact client and company relations, and leave a lasting impression on recipients. Saying thanks and taking a moment to spread some holiday cheer can be accomplished in less time than ever this year. It's even easier than ever to find gifts that can be personalized for your clients, and you may want to consider branding your gift. Both of these touches can help form an emotional bond with your customers.
Here's a look at some of this season's most popular and easily accessible corporate gift giving products that will impress your clients and ensure a timely delivery.

Today, the New York Times published an op-ed entitled "Detroit's Immigration Solution," which criticizes the plan that Michigan Governor Rick Snyder has to fix the down-but-not-out Motor City. Snyder has proposed "to attract 50,000 [immigrants] over five years using a visa program for people with advanced degrees or exceptional abilities in the sciences, arts or business." According to the Times, the plan is "strange," "unsettling" "oddly defeatist," and "limited," "reinforc[ing] the misguided belief that highly skilled immigrants are the only ones worth the trouble."
Indeed, what about the millions of skilled (or, at least, highly educated) new college graduates that will hit the job market this May? Might there be some room to create incentives to attract them to the city as well?
Even if not, I'd argue that Detroit is already a city that students should consider relocating to upon graduation. Although Detroit isn't for the risk-averse graduate, or for the squeamish, or for those who insist on amenities like streetlights that work and un-boarded-up delis on every corner, it's a city that, despite what scores of ruin-porn photos and ski videos circling the internet might imply, currently has a lot to offer. And here are a few reasons why you should give the area south of 8 Mile your serious consideration:
1. There's a new car man in town and she's a woman.When Mary Barra was named GM CEO at the end of 2013, it signaled a monumental shift not only at one of the largest car companies in the world but also across the automotive industry, which has been historically dominated by men. Barra, who today spoke on her first earnings call, is a native Michigander who worked her way up through the ranks at GM and who has paved the way for other women looking to rise the automotive executive ladder. GM, along with Ford and Chrysler (now Fiat Chrysler), have been largely enjoying a prosperous time after many years of struggling. Which means they're hiring at every level from intern to executive. Also of note: although the so-called Big Three U.S. automakers get all the press in Detroit, there are numerous other firms in Metro Detroit directly related to and/or that serve the automakers, and these companies also require skilled labor. Some of these include auto part manufacturers, auto finance firms, the Big 4 accounting firms (all of which have major offices in the area), and numerous advertising firms (responsible for many of those ads you see during the first, second, and third quarters of the Super Bowl).
2. It's cool to be from Detroit. Tell someone you're from or live in Detroit and they might feel sorry for you. But they will also be impressed. Yes, Detroit has cachet, and living there will give you street cred. And so, if you ever decide to leave the city and apply for jobs at companies in larger, more established, more financially stable cities, you'll be able to position yourself as a risk taker, someone willing to stand up for the underdog, someone unafraid to go against the norm, not to mention someone unafraid of living in the so-called murder capital of the world. Also, you will be able to position yourself as someone who did something cool. Here's Tim Smith, the president and CEO of Detroit-based Skidmore Studio, "a design and branding firm that started with auto illustrations in the late 1950s and has grown to a full service creative agency," speaking to Fast Company last year:
Smith remembers a time when he'd fly out to meetings with clients in other cities and they'd say, "Oh, you're from Detroit. We feel so bad for you." Now, he says, "We get off the plane and go 'We're from Detroit,' and they say, 'That's kinda cool.'"
3. Anything goes in Detroit. There's a reason that artists and young entrepreneurs across the country as well as the world have been relocating to Detroit the past few years. Okay, at least two reasons. One is the cheap real estate (yes, it's true you can become a homeowner for about the price of one month's rent of a two-bedroom in Brooklyn Heights). The second is the barriers to entry as far as startups go are relatively few. Detroit is basically begging entrepreneurs to start businesses in the city. According to Ralph Watson—an executive creative director at Goodby Silverstein, an ad agency in Detroit of about 300 employees that counts Chevrolet as one of its accounts—who also spoke to Fast Company last year, "[Detroit is] startupville. It's anything goes, which I really like. It's almost no rules." (For a sense of the breadth of the city's entrepreneurs, check out these businesses: Detroit Bus Company, Loveland Technologies, Slows Bar BQ, and MowerGang.)
4. The CEO of the fifth best U.S. company to work for will pay you to live in Detroit. There's been a lot written about Dan Gilbert's Quicken Loans, which ranked No. 5 in Fortune's 2014 Best Companies to Work For list. Gilbert, who was born in Detroit, and his Detroit-based mortgage company have helped the Motor City immensely in recent years. One way has been Gilbert moving his headquarters to Detroit in 2011. Another has been offering a financial incentive to employees who choose to live within the Detroit city limits. Both moves have improved the city's tax base and brought much-needed business to the city. Overall, Gilbert has put more than $1 billion into Detroit. And Quicken Loans continues to grow. At last count, there were more than 1,200 job openings at the firm. And according to Fortune, this is "what makes it so great":
The mortgage lender is intent on reversing brain drain from Michigan. A recent job fair in downtown Detroit attracted 2,500 applicants for 500 jobs. It also partnered with area businesses to offer incentives to employees willing to move to the city, including $20,000 in forgivable home loans.
5. Detroit is beautiful.That's right. And if you don't believe me, check out this instagrammer, whose documentation of the city is not to be un-followed.

Hilaria Baldwin Talks Pregnancy Curves and Her Lack of Cravings
How are there even diaper bags left in the stores? There's so many celeb babies on the way!
Just like Fergie, Jessica Simpson, and Kate Middleton, Hilaria Baldwin, a yoga pro and the wifey to Alec Baldwin, is sportin' an awfully adorable baby bump. It turns out that Hilaria Baldwin is really enjoying her preggo figure and the curves that come with the 9-month development. "I feel sexy — absolutely — I've never had these curves before in my life!" the celeb told Fit Pregnancy in a recent interview.
OK! News: Michelle Obama Joins Instagram: See Her First Pic!
The site caught up with the yoga pro and got the lowdown on her pregnancy, her workout schedule, and the foods that she's craving. And guess what? The cravings are basically nonexistent. She's a lucky lady, huh? She told the site that she enjoyed pineapple, but explained that wasn't do or die until she got it.

Woodville's Kree Harrison Lands in the Top Three on 'American Idol'
Kree Harrison got more than one piece of good news on the 'American Idol' results show on Thursday night (March 14). She received the key to her home city of Woodville, Texas, and she also moved on to the next round of the competition.
Harrison has been a standout contestant during the entire twelfth season of the seminal reality singing competition, earning effusive praise from the judges over and over with exceptionally strong performances of Grace Potter's 'Stars', 'Up on the Mountain' by Patty Griffin and the Faith Hill song 'Stronger.'
The singer performed the Roy Orbison classic 'Crying' on Wednesday night, delivering an effortlessly flawless performance that earned her enough votes to land in the night's top three contestants. That's new this year, previously host Ryan Seacrest had only revealed the bottom three.
Another change was the ranking of the Top 10. Fellow country singers Janelle Arthur and Paul Jolley were sixth and eighth respectively. The bottom two were Devin Velez and Curtis Finch Jr. And the loser was: Finch. Nicki Minaj fought to save him, but the judges couldn't agree and the urban-gospel singer went home.
Keith Urban recently said that he thought Harrison could win the show's twelfth season.

Game Of Thrones Director: I'm 100% Opposed To The Piracy I Just Said Helps My Show Survive
from the getting-it deptYou know, sometimes content creators can be really confusing. Take Game Of Thrones director David Petrarca, for instance. Remember early last year when we mentioned that the show was on track to become the most pirated television show of 2012? And how the success of the show might actually be a result of piracy, rather than its cause?
Well, ChurchHatesTucker writes in to tell us that Petrarca recently opined that piracy is at least partially responsible for the success of the show, providing an avenue through which more people talk about it and comment on it within greater society.
Panel mediator Rosemary Neill noted Game of Thrones was the most pirated show of 2012 and that 10 per cent of the downloads came from Australia. But Petrarca shrugged and said the illegal downloads did not matter because such shows thrived on "cultural buzz" and capitalised on the social commentary they generated.Yes, in addition to allowing late-comers to catch up on episodes in preparation for new seasons, piracy helps keep the show in the societal bloodstream, keeps the buzz going, and generally creates more excitement and awareness of the product as a whole. If HBO could manage to provide a more innovative method for delivering the show to those that want it, likely the boon could be even greater. Still, Petrarca noted that HBO is doing well with their subscriber base.
"That's how they survive," he told the crowd gathered at the University of Western Australia.
He said HBO alone had 26 million subscribers in the US and 60 million worldwide, which meant there was plenty of money filtering in and allowing the channel to produce high quality content despite any illegal downloading.While this all sounds reasonable, I wouldn't want to be accused of not presenting the other side of the argument on whether or not piracy helps or hurts this sort of media. So, here to present a rebuttal to David Petrarca... is David Petrarca. He recently had a Twitter exchange with our own Glyn Moody, including these highlights.
I am 100% against illegal downloading. I said that downloading creates buzz but def am NOT in support of illegal downloads. The issue is a distribution system that gets content to viewers legally in a timely manner. People want to pay if made available.While it should be noted that he certainly isn't being belligerent here, and he in fact notes that if a great distribution option is available fans will pay for content, it's difficult to square the first part of this statement with what he said in the article. Remember, he was specifically responding to a question about piracy (not authorized downloads) and then responded that it helped create social buzz for shows like his and "that's how they survive." But he is "NOT in support of illegal downloads?" I think I understand this to mean that he simply thinks the ideal solution is the kind of distribution platform that would drive nearly everyone away from piracy, by providing widely available, authorized downloads, and with that I'd agree. Still, in the absence of that great system, which HBO certainly doesn't offer, why staunchly state that you're 100% against piracy when you've already said it's helped you survive? I assume that Petrarca likes surviving, but perhaps I'm wrong?
Or, perhaps, the sudden attention that the original story was getting created pressure for him to walk back those statements. Glyn was not the only one that Petrarca reached out to with identical statements:

Captain's ReportAffordable & Fun-- Vectra 1940 O/BBy Capt. Bob SmithI had the pleasure of testing some of Smoker Craft's family of boats at Lake Wawasee in Syracuse, Indiana recently. I had no idea they had such a wide variety of boats to offer. The Vectra 1940 Outboard was one of the two fiberglass deckboats tested. This boat is a great example of making the best use of space and footprint with a keen eye on the budget.WarrantyThe planing hull on the Vectra 1940 carries a 5-year warranty and has a composite transom reinforcement and a one-piece composite stringer system, but the sturdy construction does not stop there. Vectra uses an injected foam system for better flotation and elimination of voids and has a full fiberglass inner liner. At the bow are docking lights to make it easy to see the trailer on approach at night or to see the slip as you are roll in from a day on the water. The bow platform takes full advantage of the deckboat bow design and has a beach boarding ladder to easy climb back on board. There is storage in a bow step that could be used as an anchor well or even as a short-term cooler. Lounging spaces in the bow is comfortable and there is plenty of room beneath the seats to store your gear or the boat covers while you play. Upholstery is heavy-duty marine grade and it comes with a 3-year warranty. If you really like to lounge in the sun and work on the tan, opt for the bow filler cushions and make a large sun lounge out of it. In the floor up front is a large compartment to store water toys.Functional HelmThe helm offers excellent leg room, even for a big guy like me. The layout is functional with a fixed position 3-spoke wheel (which can be upgraded to a tilt hydraulic wheel). The gauges are positioned high and are easy to see, and power is controlled with aircraft style paddle switches with lighted tips. Great tunes are onboard with a stereo mounted low and to the left of the wheel. If you like to be your own DJ, an MP3 jack is on the side of the helm for plugging in your IPod or other MP3 player. On top of the helm is a pump action sink for rinsing off the sand before picking up the snacks.Stern FeaturesKeep your snacks and drinks cool and pack them to carry on board in the cooler that fits neatly under the port side of the bench. There are grab bars are on either side of the stern bench seat and beneath the seat on the starboard side is a conveniently located battery switch. A courtesy light next to it illuminates the switch and the floor to make moving around at night safer. When you are ready to take a dip out in the lake, access to the ladder is via walkthrough safety gate. A really smart feature is the fender holders in the engine well which will keep the fenders right where you need them. Across to starboard is a large locker easily reached from the stern for water toys and storing the docking lines.SpecificationsThe Vectra 1940 O/B can handle up to a 200-hp engine and carries 10 people or a total of 2250 lbs. She weighs 2,250 lbs dry without the engine and has a 51 gallon fuel capacity. She measures 19'0" length overall and is 102" across the beam. The interior depth is a very kid-friendly and safe 30". PerformanceTesting on an inland lake, I found the 1940 Vectra easy to handle. The ride was responsive, smooth, and dry. She was on plane in just 3.5 seconds and up to 30 mph in only 7.2 seconds. She is at cruise around 24.7 mph and 3500 rpm while she reaches top speed at 5600 rpm doing 43.5 mph. At cruise she will deliver 277 miles of fun and entertainment on a full tank of fuel and at top speed she will still give you as much as 144 miles. We tested the 1940 with a Honda 150-hp Four Stroke outboard on her stern.If you like the thrill of speed boating and skiing yet have a need to be able to safely and comfortably carry a larger crowd with you, deckboating is likely in your future.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Vectra 1940 OB (2007-) is 43.5 mph (70 kph), burning 13.9 gallons per hour (gph) or 52.61 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Vectra 1940 OB (2007-) is 24.7 mph (39.8 kph), and the boat gets 6.02 miles per gallon (mpg) or 2.56 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 277 miles (445.79 kilometers).
- Tested power is 1 x 150-hp Honda 4-stroke (outboard).

For the average Joe, I think the general tips that Farhan listed, although basic, are quite good.
Exercise in various ways, include some resistance training, eat your fruits, veggies, and grains, drink lots of water.......sounds pretty atrocious
Although important, I think too much can sometimes be made of this, expecially when talking about naturally occuring sugars in raw fruit (not added sugars ie juice / fruit canned in syrup / etc, which is a different story)Arachnid wrote: Some fruits have very high sugar content.
Most fruit are low GI, so Farhan's "Eat as many fruits, vegetables, and grains as you want" if probably better general advice than "only eat green bananas" (extreme, I know) or something along those lines. I would guess that most people do not eat enough fruit and veggies, so for the average person I would promote eating more, and worry about the naturally occuring sugar levels as a secondary concern.
(BTW - I beleive watermelons have a pretty high GI...so one would be far better off substituting green bananas in your salad recipe )
Lentils are a complimentary protein. Nothing wrong with lentils, they just should not be depended upon alone to fill your bodies protein requirements.Arachnid wrote: Also, as a vegetarian you must know lentils do not contain the complex proteins or iron your body needs or craves...
Agreed!Arachnid wrote: Protein, Fats and carbs balance is essential. Think of it as Body, Mind & Soul...

Evian: Spider-Man - The Amazing Baby & Me 2
When Evian was looking for someone to front the latest chapter in its highly-successful online campaign "Live Young", it's no surprise it turned to the biggest webslinger of them all - Spider-Man.
After all, what's not to love about your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man?
Created way back in 1962, the Marvel comic book superhero boasts mass appeal among a number of different generations.
The sight of seeing a cultural icon having a dance-off with a younger version of himself was always going to attract the attention of the web (geddit?).
The timing of the campaign - just before the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - was also perfect, ensuring the ad would benefit from the buzz surrounding the launch of the highly-anticipated Hollywood movie.
Throw in the fact that it follows hot on the heels of the success of Baby & Me - the third most-shared ad of 2013 - and that is boasts a very cute and hilarious baby Spider-Man performing some pretty slick dance moves, and you don't need a Spidey-sense to work out that the ad is almost certain to be a big hit online.
Certainly, the signs are already there. Within less than 24 hours, the campaign had already racked up almost 200,000 views online.
Such a red-hot reception is no surprise giving amount of conversation around the new movie release and the teasers cleverly released by the French brand to increase anticipation ahead of the main ad's release on April 1.
However, the only slight disappointment is the creative itself. Sure, the dance moves are great, but anyone who has seen the previous Baby & Me ad may feel a little short-changed.
After all, this is essentially the same ad but with a super-hero in it. It even has the same dance track.

"Don't give up the ship. Fight her till she sinks." - Capt. James Lawrence, U.S.S. Chesapeake
I've seen the same grim, steely determination that no doubt infused Capt. Lawrence and his crew as they faced the HMS Shannon in battle on the high seas in 1813 reflected in the eyes and words of many owner-operators I talk to nowadays. With the U.S. national average for diesel fuel at $4.21 a gallon, fuel surcharges hard to come by, and lackluster freight demand, many are fighting hard just to survive, much less eke out a profit at the end of each week.
(The indomitable Capt. James Lawrence)
Many may also face the fate of the Chesapeake, which ultimately lost its battle with the Shannon, followed by Lawrence's death from wounds sustained from small arms fire during that historic clash. Yet many others won't - not only surviving the current rough patch but also perhaps profiting as trucking capacity begins to again get scarce - much the way the United States escaped from several catastrophic losses during the War of 1812 (the burning of Washington D.C. the biggest of them) to eventually win that conflict against England.
I got the chance to talk with Robert Zuckerman, a veteran owner-operator operating from (of all places!!!) Rhode Island about the challenges facing independent truckers like himself these days. "There's two ways to look at the business these days: either you tough it out or get out of it," he told me over the phone as he wrapped up a haul. "The question you need to ask yourself is, will I make the same amount of money I do now if I get out of this business? Because most likely, in whatever other career you choose, you are going to start at the bottom. So I am just going to tough it out. But here's the thing: I love this job and I don't want to do something else."
(Robert Zuckerman, posed in front of his rig.)
Zuckerman is also of the "old school" when it comes to driving trucks, as he acquired and honed his skills in the late 1970s over the course of several years, maneuvering an ever-larger vehicle for his family's scrap metal business. "I learned on one piece of equipment at a time: from forklifts to a series of straight trucks, then a tractor, a tractor and 20-foot trailer, followed by a tractor and 40-foot trailer, and so on," he related.
These were old 1950s and 60s Mack trucks, along with a 1966 Autocar, Zuckerman added, so shifting was like learning an ancient, intricate form of tai chi, with every movement requiring precision or disaster would strike. These trucks didn't have power steering either, much less air conditioning or air ride seats, so Zuckerman is more than appreciate of the modern-day comforts found on today's tractors.
"I appreciate trucking today so much, because I didn't have the air conditioning or all the electronics kids today take for granted," he said. "It makes driving a lot easier."
The important thing Zuckerman believes will get him - and others like him - through the current rough patch is the ability to adapt, the remain open to learning new skills (especially ones related to business management), and to renew his focus on the small details of trucking. For today, every single penny counts - not a one can be wasted, he told me.
"How do you survive? You need to make smart business decisions and pay attention to the small stuff," Zuckerman said. "I never used to give a second thought to the small stuff, like $10 air filters. Now I do - and the $5 and $1 items as well. Not only am I paying attention to all the numbers, I am also trying to manage my time and effort better too - that's worth money to me as well. Because your time is NEVER free."
Zuckerman's also been working with Tim Brady -- FleetOwner's contributing editor, a former driver, and formidable trucking consultant in his own right -- to beef up his business and financial management skills as well. "You have to go with the flow or get left behind in this business now," Zuckerman explained. "I've been an owner-operator for over 15 years, but just now I am getting my business organized on a laptop computer so I can track the numbers better."
Yet he's also a big believer in keeping home and work life separate from each other: a hard thing to do when you are an owner-operator, but one he thinks is necessary. "Business is business and personal is personal: you need to remember you wear two hats when you drive for yourself," he said. "I go so far as to not park my truck out in front of my house: I keep down the street a ways in a secure area. That way when I am home, I am completely focusing my time and effort on my family."
Zuckerman applies his "steady as he goes" philosophy to his equipment as well, staying on a strict maintenance schedule that he thinks helps him stave off larger, more costly repairs over the life of his truck. For example, Zuckerman said he changes the oil on his 2000-model Volvo VN 660 every 10,000 to 14,000 miles - a much shorter interval than the manufacturer suggests - because he wants to keep the inside of his engine just as clean and in good working order as the outside of his truck.
"It's got 847,000 miles on it and I only had to rebuild the bottom-end of the motor at 500,000 miles and change one fuel injector. That's it in terms of major repairs," he said. "I change all the filters at every oil change and change the transmission fluid every other year because that helps keep my truck in good working order. This truck has never given me any problems as a result."
Still, he and his wife and their three kids are tightening their belts, cutting costs where they can, not going out to eat as much, watching every penny. His wife recently took her retail clothing business online so she could save the money spend on store rent. They plan to do what it takes so Zuckerman can keep driving, awaiting better days to return.
"The first four years after I bought my new Volvo were great - then the costs started increasing," he said. "Also, the business isn't what it used to be. Common courtesy on the road isn't there anymore. We as drivers don't treat each other as equals anymore. But I am going to do what it takes to stay in this business. I've been driving all my life: I could never sit in an office and push paper. This is what I love to do."

kjf needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 58 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
The site allows users to rent out their residential carparking space/garage.
Looking for a modern, professional website logo.
The logo will be used mostly on the website but will be used occasionally for print marketing.
The website will have mostly white background with very little clutter so it needs to blend in well with light colors.
I've been thinking along the following lines:
A garage door.
A car in a garage.
A parking meter.
A parking sign.
That type of thing.
- Clean, professional looking logo
- Web 2.0 look
- Too many colours
- Nothing that looks like it belongs in clipart

As one of the five tunnels currently being built on the 40.3 km section of the Ljig-Preljina road in Serbia, the Šarani tunnel is extraordinary. This section of Corridor 11 connects Serbia's northeastern border with Romania and its southwestern border with Montenegro on the Adriatic Sea.
In addition to the tunnels, it also involves the construction of 78 bridges. The five tunnels are Brdjani (length 455 m), Savnica (270 m) Veliki Kik (200 m), Ljig-Golubac (25 m) and Šarani, which at approximately 900 m is the longest.
" Two of the tunnels are being excavated using the cut-and-cover method while the other three, including Šarani, are classic tunnels "
Energoprojekt Niskograndna plc has been subcontracted to excavate the Šarani drive and is one of five Serbian compa-nies working in a consortium alongside AzVirt, the Azerbaijan construction com-pany, which is the main contractor for the civil works. The client is the state-owned Koridori Srbije (or Corridors of Serbia).
The project is financed by a €370 million loan from the government of Azerbaijan, of which €41 million has been allocated for the construction of the Šarani tunnel.
Šarani will be a twin-tube tunnel (883 m and 887 m). Construction began in March 2013 and is expected to be com-pleted before year-end 2015.
" We are currently on budget and on schedule and expect to remain so until the end of the project, despite the fact that advance has been difficult due to the geological conditions "
Excavation of the second tube is expected to be completed by June after which they will start to prepare the tunnel for use, working on the concrete lining, road construction, electricity installations and more.
Kovacˇevc´ explains that the geology here is difficult for any form of underground work as the ground is composed of Serbian Serpentine, a changeable type of rock that becomes soft on contact with water. "In practice it turns into mud," he says, adding that the quality of the rock is not sufficient for the drill and blast technique all the time which would have made excavation much faster.
The fluctuation within the rock formation is naturally challenging.
" From one area with relatively good rock where we use drill and blast, to an area with very soft rock where we have to employ other methods, it can easily change within 20, 50 or 100 meters "
"We simply don't know, so we have to continuously monitor the conditions to decide on the most practical and safe method of advancing the tunnel." For this reason, geodetic surveys and geological mapping are performed on a daily basis.
When drilling and blasting permits, Atlas Copco Boomer L2 rigs are used, while in the poorer formations, hydraulic hammers HB 2500 and HB 7000 mounted on excava-tors are used. Pipe roofing is carried out using the Atlas Copco Symetrix system, radial MAI SDA self-drilling anchors and MAI M400NT pumps are used in rock reinforcement work.
"We also use steel arches and pre-cast concrete and two layers of wire mesh," adds Kovacˇevc´, noting that in good rock, only one layer is required or no wire mesh is used at all. "If we're lucky, our shotcrete only needs to be about 20 cm thick but often it can be over 30 cm," he says, adding that this is proof of the poor quality of the ground.
Šarani also employs three Atlas Copco Unigrout grouting platforms, two of which are Unigrout Flex M E22. Ventilation in the tunnels is provided by a fan fitted with 1 400 m of Atlas Copco flexible ducting.

Basement Waterproofing
The problem…
Water leakage in basements is sadly an all too common problem. There can be many places were water can penetrate your foundation and intrude into your living space. In the majority of cases, the fundamental cause behind this issue is hydrostatic pressure. This is the pressure that water builds up as the water table rises and falls in the subterranean soil around your home. Other common problem areas are cracks in your foundation wall and leakage through window wells or pipe penetrations through the foundation. Many people incorrectly assume that basement waterproofing is simply applying a sealer to your basement walls. However, this only relieves insignificant dampness temporarily and water leakage WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR. Sealers are ineffective because they do not handle the pressure that water exerts on the foundation. Without a basement waterproofing system that releases the hydrostatic pressure, water problems will not improve, they will only get worse. When considering the hazards, a wet basement can pose to the health of your family, the ability to use the additional basement square footage as a living space and thus increasing your home's resale value the choice becomes very simple.

Cool stuff from my Bloggy Artist Friends
I'm going to spotlight some recent etsy purchases from my bloggy-friends. The one thing they all have in common is the above statement written by my 12 yr old niece. (She's a precocious child…not too much gets past this one). She had a birthday last month and since she's always interested in the stuff I do when we visit, I thought I'd add to her little artsy-stash.
I went to Borders in search of Dawn's book "Doodle Diary, Art Journaling for Girls". I had to go to the children's section and I almost missed it. As you can see the size of this book makes it easy to overlook. I was lucky to nab one before they were all gone.
Last week I got this nice handmade Thank You card from said niece. In it she wrote the following:
Thank you for all the art supplies. I love them! I especially love the doodle diary. I've already learned a lot of new art things in it. In fact I'm using some of the things I learned in this card.
Just sweet, this card is! I just wanted to let you know, that 12 yr old girls dig this book. Kudo's to you Dawn for creating it!
I was so happy when I received these prints from Rachel last week. I had to hunt down white frames for them, and then I added some red textured poster board (in lieu of $13 matting per piece) to the back to make the 9 x 12 prints work in the 10 x 13 frames.
I've created a Rachel wall in my spare bedroom, where I can share these colorful and insightful messages with family and friends who visit.
This is… without a doubt… my Favorite-must-have print. I need this gentle reminder.
Then there's Aimee-with-Attitude!! I love her sense of humor…she never fails to crack me up because she ALWAYS says what she's thinking. What a way with words this girl has. Like the card above says: When someone give you an odd look and grumbles "That's not the way it's done" just smile and wink and say "I know but its my way and I like it". Talk about spunk!! She's loaded! I could use a bit of her confidence that's for sure.
Purchased 4 prints from Aimee at Christmas. I gave one away and didn't click a pic of it, shoot!
A little reminder on our dry-erase board as I enter or leave the house each day.
And I have to mention my very first etsy purchase. It was from the VERY TALENTED Rebecca of Penny Lane Ink. I totally fell in love with her girly-postcards. I even did a whole post last summer about it HERE.
My new philosophy is I WILL support the artists that I like here in blog-land. No, I won't buy something just to buy it. If I can afford it and it speaks to me, I'm getting it! Because I'll tell you one thing …..you won't find this quality and these unique type of things at Wal-mart or Target. Why not be the first on your block with a fun artsy item on the forefront?

About Me
- Eden
- By day...I work in the Healthcare field, where every .. i.. has to be dotted and every ..t.. has to be crossed. This blog is the place where I can let myself go and have some fun. I am on a journey. A journey I started a long time ago, but it has been a bit sidetracked with Navy Wife relocations and raising kids. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and I have got some time for me. No, I will not be one of those moms walking around the house with Empty Nest Syndrome, I have got way too much to do, to learn, to create. Sure, once the kids are gone I will miss them....but hey, there is always the phone, the email, the texting and the Plane tickets! I love my life and my family and It is fun moving into this new stage. I am into Digital Scrapbooking, photography, journaling, Art Journaling and Drawing. I am a do-it-yourselfer and I am trying to teach myself to draw. I am finding that it takes a lot of patience, lots of practice and a good eraser! And if you're really curious there's a 3 part Interview by Eileen: HERE All the best, Eden

Philadelphia native Santi White made a splash in 2008 with her self-titled debut album, back when she was known as "Santogold." She turned heads with a smart mix of reggae and new wave, hit the road, then took her time making the follow-up, the even more expansive "Master of My Make-Believe" (Downtown/Atlantic).
Once again cowriting all the tracks and coproducing several, she broadens her rhythmic reach with splashes of African-style percussion and heightens the drama on a handful of brooding ballads. She brings back "Santogold" helpmates Switch, John Hill and Diplo for another spin through the underground clubs, and broadens her pop perspective by collaborating with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner and Karen O, TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek and A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip, among others. Against the non-stop globe-trotting beats, she pins a parade of hooks and melodies with a voice that rarely calls attention to itself (save for the occasional yelp, and one serviceable twist on Nicki Minaj's rapid-fire zaniness).
The singer-songwriter-producer confidently skips across genres. African flavors bounce with new wave on "Go!" and reggae on "God from the Machine" and "Pirate in the Water." On "Big Mouth," the Portuguese producers Buraka Som Sistema throw pogo-ecstatic Angolan beats against wordless, staccato vocals, creating with White a type of techno-pop hybrid that sounds both futuristic and ancient. In "Freak Like Me," dive-bombing bass undermines a sing-songy vocal hook, and "Look at these Hoes" fires up subterranean tones and machine-gun rhymes, an alien take on Pop 2012.
Sprinkled throughout are more melodic, textured songs, underlining White's strength as a songwriter (she wrote the criminally underappreciated 2001 debut by R&B singer Res, among other accomplishments from a music career that stretches back to the '90s). Over rumbling bass and spastic bursts of guitar, "Disparate Youth" takes a clear-eyed view of street rebellions across the planet: "We know we want more, a life worth fighting for."
"This isn't Our Parade" and "The Riot's Gone" come off as elegies for what might have been; they could be describing the demise of a relationship or a revolution. Best of all is "The Keepers," a state-of-the-union warning shot tucked inside an engaging melody. "We're the keepers, while we sleep in America our house is burning down," White sings. Bad vibes are everywhere, but the chorus exhorts us to sing along and the beats guide us to the dancefloor.
White's subversive way with a hook and her ability to effortlessly blend dance beats from around the world make "Master of My Make-Believe" a deceptively breezy and enticing summer album. But dig a little deeper and the shadows start to creep in.
3.5 stars (out of 4)

BUY PROTONIX NO PRESCRIPTION, Other than three events at the state meet Friday, it was a real struggled for most teams Friday at Drake Stadium.
Here is what I went down:
• Mount Pleasant is done after only two days and four points, PROTONIX maximum dosage. Is PROTONIX addictive, Something just doesn't sound right about either of those two facts, but it was just one of those rare years for the Panthers, PROTONIX interactions, Online PROTONIX without a prescription, who had only 15 runners and basically no depth. The only points of the meet came from Rebekah Kimzey's fifth-place finish in the 400-meter hurdles, PROTONIX steet value. Cheap PROTONIX, In time, Kimzey could become the third 400 hurdles champion in school history, cheap PROTONIX no rx, PROTONIX gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, as she's only a sophomore.
• The 2A schools continue to struggle, BUY PROTONIX NO PRESCRIPTION. For the second day in a row, PROTONIX from mexico, What is PROTONIX, no one scored from the area in this class, and they haven't been all that close, order PROTONIX online c.o.d. Buy cheap PROTONIX no rx, The top finish is still Katie Hocker's 10th-place run in the 3,000 on Thursday, where can i buy cheapest PROTONIX online. Buy PROTONIX without a prescription, The schools are running out of time, with just a handful of final events on Saturday, buy PROTONIX online cod. PROTONIX from canada, • New London continues to run impressively. BUY PROTONIX NO PRESCRIPTION, Two third-place finishes in relays have added up to 12 points and ninth place in Class 1A. It hasn't mattered who runs the relays; they run them well and consistently, PROTONIX pharmacy. My PROTONIX experience, They've had a chance to win both the 4x800 and distance medley, but came up just short, PROTONIX street price. PROTONIX dosage, Saturday could be a big day for the school that has far and away been the area's best this weekend.
• Fort Madison has some things to look forward to in the near future, buy PROTONIX online no prescription. The Bloodhounds actually outscored Mount Pleasant by a point in the state meet, which is a surprise, BUY PROTONIX NO PRESCRIPTION. PROTONIX brand name, The school may have a future shot put champion on their hands after freshman Amanda Houston finished fifth Friday.
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR SATURDAY: The 100-meter hurdles final in Class 1A should be a dandy. Cardinal's Sarah Yeager and Danville's Becca Nelson running side by side, PROTONIX no rx, PROTONIX images, and figure to go 1-2. The Bears have never had a hurdles champion, generic PROTONIX, PROTONIX no prescription, and haven't claimed a state title since 1997. Maybe Saturday will end the drought.., taking PROTONIX. BUY PROTONIX NO PRESCRIPTION, New London has a very good chance to repeat in the 4x400. PROTONIX schedule, North Iowa and Grundy Center will be tough, but I just think the Tigers will have something left for the final race of the day, is PROTONIX safe. Low dose PROTONIX, With three seniors on the relay, it would be a great swan song...I want to see if Katie Hocker really loves the 1,500 more than the 3,000; she was 10th in the 3,000, and claims the mile is her better race ... The big question remains if Mediapolis will be shut out. They have two races -- the sprint medley and 800. Regardless, the Bullettes will be done with the meet in the first two hours.

Mexico will be first to try arsenic-cleansing 'nanorust'
|(Nanowerk News) Rice University researchers today announced that the first field tests of "nanorust," the university's revolutionary, low-cost technology for removing arsenic from drinking water, will begin later this year in Guanajuato, Mexico.
|"Mexico's debating the adoption of more stringent national standards for allowable levels of arsenic in drinking water, and officials in Guanajuato are looking ahead to explore ways they might meet stricter new standards," said nanorust inventor Vicki Colvin, Rice's Pitzer-Schlumberger Professor of Chemistry and director of Rice's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN).
|Colvin and CBEN faculty, staff and students began visiting Guanajuato last fall to prepare for the upcoming tests. Guanajuato, which has a population of 80,000, is the capital of Guanajuato state. It is about 230 miles northwest of Mexico City.
|This image is of nanorust. (Image: CBEN/Rice University)
|Arsenic is a colorless, odorless, tasteless element, and prolonged exposure to dangerous levels of arsenic can lead to skin discoloration, sickness and cancer. Arsenic-poisoned drinking water is a global problem, affecting tens of millions of people in communities in Asia, Africa, North America, South America and Europe.
|CBEN's arsenic-removing technology is based on the unique properties of particles called "nanorust," tiny bits of iron oxide that are smaller than living cells. In 2006, Colvin and CBEN colleague Mason Tomson, professor in civil and environmental engineering, published with their students the first nanorust studies. Their initial tests indicated nanorust -- which naturally binds with arsenic -- could be used as a low-cost means of removing arsenic from water.
|Qilin Li, an assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering and CBEN faculty expert in water treatment, said Rice's team plans to test nanorust-coated sand. The material will be used in sand filters to treat groundwater from wells. The water treated with nanorust will be kept separate from the water that is released for human consumption, Li said.
|"Our studies of nanorust have progressed rapidly over the past three years, but in order to move this technology toward practical application there is really no substitute for this type of field test," Li said.
|Pedro Alvarez, the George R. Brown Professor of Engineering and chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, said, "One collateral benefit of the nanorust filters is that they may also help remove water-borne viruses that are responsible for a wide variety of gastrointestinal diseases."
