- Rated 5 out of 5very well written :)
- Rated 5 out of 5omg I just found this a couple days ago and it is the freaking BEST!! I love my youtube music playlist as I work from home and I was running to restart it every 40 min for hours...no more! thank you so much! huge gratitude!
- Rated 4 out of 5This works fine on desktop Firefox, but it doesn't work on the Android version of Firefox.
- Rated 5 out of 5Used to be able to get around the pesky confirmation until 2 days ago when it stopped working completely, earlier it was an awesome addon, but atm it's not doing anything, probably due to some update on youtubes end.
EDIT: Been using YuoTube NonStop for about 5 months, and worked flawlessly until now, so im pretty sure YouTube updated something to make sure YouTube NonStop no longer works.
EDIT2: Now it sometimes work, and sometimes not, quite confusing.
EDIT3: Now it's back to working every time, seems like the days it wasn't working was when Youtube was rolling out some new updates like how you now can preview a vid by merely hovering over it.
- Rated 3 out of 5Autopauze still happens in fullscreen-mode
- Rated 5 out of 5the add on works like a charm.. finaly i can let the the music flow trough the night.. god bless ya and keep up the good work man
- Rated 4 out of 5Worked perfectly for a week, then stopped working a couple days ago. (Firefox mobile on Android)
- Rated 4 out of 5Your extension works pretty good but i got a problem. As a user of Media Keys extension. It collides with it. In a way that it pauses the video when i use a play/pause command. How would you differenciate between a play/pause order from me than one from Youtube?
This is like the last thing that bothers me to use streaming all time.
- Rated 5 out of 5Excellent tool against the most annoying completely useless and healthy-head unimaginable "service" from nasty ignorant YouTube ball-heads! ( still can't even imagine what the shit they've been meaning with this "care"??? Click_baiting? on their own?)
Unfortunately sometimes your extension stops working on YT playlists playing in background tabs.
Anyway, THANK YOU very much for your work - you save my nerves health!

Essential Details You Didn't Know About The National Museum
The story of the National Museum of the Philippines is the expression of grandeur on many levels. There are the historic buildings, the priceless collections of art and archaeology, the flora and fauna. But the force behind it is the majesty of the human spirit: the nobility of volunteers and culture workers, the generosity of philanthropists and visual artists.
The National Museum of the Philippines was established in 1901 during the American regime.
Modeled after the Smithsonian Institution, it began as a museum of ethnology and natural history and evolved to include archaeology, anthropology and the visual arts.
In the context of global culture, its reach was far and wide. It belonged to a network of museums that exchanged research data and botanical rarities.
World War II, however, destroyed the entire Philippine herbarium with hundreds of thousands of specimens. The director at the time was Dr. Eduardo Quisumbing, a respected scientist, and an orchid specialist. Unfazed by the damage, he requested every botanical institution with which the National Museum had exchanged plant specimens, to send him samples of their replicates. With their immense support, he succeeded in restoring a substantial part of the herbarium.
Museum workers regard one another as partners.
Our scientific illustrators do such fine work that they are often engaged by the Smithsonian Institution. Our scientists interact with the best minds in Asia,
For more than a hundred years, lovers of science, culture and the arts have brilliantly championed it in a historic saga of idealism, altruism, and will.
Vestibule of the National Art Gallery, home of the Filipino soul.
The Gallery of National Artists for the Visual Arts with works by Fernando Amorsolo, Victorio Edades, Carlos Francisco Napoleon Abueva, Jose Joya and Vicente Manansala.
The culture of benevolence impacts the museum in endless ways. Through the altruism of artists like Agnes Arellano, Ral Arrogante, Dudley Diaz, Julie Lluch and Jose Tence Ruiz, its contemporary art collection has been enlivened.
Detail from Juan Luna's Spoliarium—the iconic centerpiece in the Hall of the Masters.
Endowments have supported the restoration of a Juan Luna masterpiece, Una Bulakeña, as well as the Ifugao house in the museum courtyard.
Cecile Yulo-Locsin and her family gifted the National Art Gallery with its most significant bequest: The Assassination of Governor General Bustamante by Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo.
The museum itself was once like buried treasure shuttled from place to place, sometimes in dark old buildings that frightened children away. For decades, 85 percent of its collection was stored in crates.
In spite of international renown, it appeared extraneous to the Philippine government. During the 1980s, it was located on two floors of the Executive House along with the offices of Prime Minister Cesar Virata and the Sandiganbayan. To bring it some measure of recall, Imee Marcos organized the Friends of the National Museum, which presented a highly successful exhibit of 19th-century masterpieces. However, it came to an end with the people power revolution.
Detail from Roberto Feleo's Tau Tao and Jose Tence Ruiz's Paraisado
Amid all the flux, there were visionaries—scientists, scholars, art patrons—who believed in the institution and fought relentlessly to uphold its relevance.
In 1987, during a wave of political optimism, art patron Purita Kalaw-Ledesma founded the Concerned Citizens for the National Museum to engage the public in rallying for a permanent site. Among its advocates were Amando Doronila, Esperanza Gatbonton, Jaime Laya,
In 1995 the name was changed to the Museum Foundation of the Philippines, and Tata Poblador was elected as its first president.
More than ever, the members were unyielding in their resolve to have an honest-to-goodness museum by 1998, the year of the Philippine centennial. They prevailed. And with superlative success. On February 12, 1998, President Fidel V. Ramos signed the National Museum Law, establishing a board of trustees and designating three classic buildings for the museum's permanent use: the Department of Finance, the Executive House, and the Department of Tourism.
At the same time, he founded the Presidential Committee to Assist the National Museum to raise funds for massive renovation projects. It was chaired by Finance Secretary Ramon del Rosario, Jr., who was applauded by the cultural community for promptly vacating the Finance building and moving to the Bangko Sentral complex. The Committee raised about P650 million to renovate the first building, the Museum of the Filipino People.
The distinguished philanthropist Washington SyCip has liberally supported the Museum of the Filipino People and the National Art Gallery.

The National Museum of the Philippines has become a living, thriving institution. We have all come to find inspiration in our heritage, and to learn about worlds beyond our shores. Art openings scintillate.
For more than a hundred years, lovers of science, culture and the arts have brilliantly championed it in a historic saga of idealism, altruism and will. It is for us to pursue their vision with the same spirit of nobility and grandeur. We should be so privileged.

Call Now
All volunteer charity where 100% of all donations goes towards helping needy and homeless children, families and their pets.
Children for Change is a program that is very special in my heart. It was inspired by a close friend's two children. They had been volunteering with their mom since they were four. Within a few years of being so closely involved with the charity the children began to engage me in conversations of how they felt we could raise money. They would volunteer all year long at events and then her son, became a public speaker for the charity. Speaking to groups of all ages in public and even on the radio. Then in 2009, we created Children for Change. This program has become popular in all school districts and youth oriented groups.
"I went to the Toys of Hope Oheka Castle Event with my mom when I was in kindergarten. She told me we were going to help children that were not as fortunate as we were. I never realized how Toys of Hope would change MY life and that of my brother. We knew we wanted to help but what could two kids do? In this economy, it's hard to ask people for a lot of money.
Children for change! If a lot of kids give even the change in their pockets after lunch, or the little bit in their piggy banks, the possibilities are endless. If a lot of people do just a little bit, well, that could add up."
SCHOOLS, CAMPS, SYNAGOGUES, CHURCHES, wherever children are, that's a place where they can help other children. The best part is that whoever gets involved learns how lucky they are to be on the giving end of things. Children are excited to be helping and their parents are glad their kids are learning how to give back to others. This program has raised a lot of money and has directly helped the children who need it the most. Come and join us. Kids CAN make a difference!
Chrissy, age 9, has been successfully running this program for 2010 and 2011. Working with 13 school districts across Long Island she has raised $7,876.00 to date. Teachers and students are needed to continue Chrissy's efforts for the 2012-2013 school year.

Dreadfully sorry to all my devoted followers. I can be not-so-good at keeping up with things, which is why my dirty laundry gets piled so high it blocks out the sun, and why I forgot about my blog for, oh, 4 months or so.
Well, anyway, do you remember the house we bought? This one right here? We moved in this July! Yeah....it's a LOT of WORK! Here's some pics (more to come):
|Tearing out the carpet revealed a hardwood floor!
|Taking out the wall
|And there it is!
In the meantime, we hosted a little painting party, (where a handful of our friends came and helped us paint the interior walls), took a trip to the Netherlands to visit Roger's family, oh yeah, and did you notice anything about my belly in the first pic above? We're PREGNANT!!!
So much to talk about, but I'll save some for later posts. Stay tuned for more !

After Paradigm Secure Communications signed a £2.5bn PFI contract with the UK Ministry of Defence - for the provision of all worldwide satellite communications services to UK Armed Forces - the organisation contacted Serco Skynet 5 Facilities Management to secure high quality accommodation for the project.Solution :
Having looked at various options, Serco and Paradigm agreed that modular construction would offer the ideal solution.
After meeting with three modular building providers, and going through a full procurement process, the project team at Serco decided that Portakabin was best positioned to fulfil its requirements, and the contract was awarded.
Paul Burridge, Design and Delivery Manager responsible for the project at Serco, said, 'Time was a critical factor for our customer. As soon as the green light was given, we needed to get a building up and running as soon as possible. However, at the same time we didn't want to compromise on quality. After extensive research, we were confident that a modular building could be constructed and ready for occupation far more quickly than a traditional building while still providing a quality-working environment.'
Within 30 weeks Portakabin designed and constructed a 1,800m², two-storey building with a central courtyard. Due to the nature of the work that will be taking place in the building, the design had to cater for high security access systems, environmental requirements and a range of other specialist IT measures.
The building also came with the unique Portakabin 20-year structural warranty and 5-year product warranty package, providing the team at Serco with complete peace of mind.
Paul continued, 'The proposal put to us by the Portakabin team was sufficient for us to make a clear decision. This was followed up with further visits to the company's head office in York, which allowed us, along with our key customer, to experience a Portakabin modular building first hand and the design that was to be developed. Everyone was extremely impressed with what they saw. The quality of the building really set the company apart from the rest of the organisations we met with.
'The building has provided Paradigm with its own company identity, which the team is very proud of. It is 200% better than the buildings the majority of the staff were in previously and everyone is impressed and satisfied with their new surroundings.'

Rumours of the demise of the proposed "Dark Crystal" sequel may have been premature.
A posting on the Muppet Forums indicates the production is moving along as planned for a Spring 2008 release, despite a report last week at filmick to the contrary.
Jim Henson Company's Head of Publicity has apparently said that the goal is to finish post-production by the end of the year, so physical production "should be gearing up real soon".
There's even talk of a debut at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2008.

Just to clarify, you should be able to purchase the paperback of 'Shadows of the Trees' from Monday 30th November, online or via your local bookshop; the eBook will be a little longer. Meanwhile why not buy 'Perian's Journey' in either format if you are not already involved in the world of Skorn?
Monthly Archives: November 2015
Shadows of the Trees
will be ready for publication within the next two weeks. Get ready!
Praise for Perian's Journey
This is a very enjoyable novella. As some of the other reviews have noted, it's more in the style of a saga or fairy tale than the typical novelistic mode, and there are several particularly excellent episodes (my favourite is the tale of two brothers right at the start, but the story of Princess Sorrow comes a close second). This mode tends to be more concise, and there is a very great deal to find within these slim covers. The book does a particularly good job of painting mind-images, and encapsulated a theme or a moment in an image or event. – Nelson Goering, on Amazon
A therapeutic fairytale… I could not put this down, the writing is just beautiful, it is well thought out, well planned and full of magic. The character of Perian has flaws that are very human and extremely relatable, yet, ultimately, he is on his own hero's journey, he returns to his call time and again, including the ultimate journey, meeting, confronting and coming to peace with his own fears.
Thank you for this writing, it moved me a great deal… thoroughly recommended. – Amazon Customer
Perian's Journey fits neatly into a tradition of myth and fantasy, with echoes from Arthurian legend, fairy tale, and Tolkien-era fantasy that allude to its precursors without ever falling prey to cliché or outright imitation. Shiloh Carroll; in Mythprint.
Wizards and dragons be here but the Hero's quest is ultimately one of heart and mind where Perian finds, forgets and remembers, through a process of inexorable change, both who he is and what matters most. stephenkingfan; on Amazon

Eduardo Masferre
TOP TO BOTTOM, © Eduardo Masferre
Eduardo Masferre (1909-1995) was widely regarded as Philippines' father of photography. Born of Spanish descent, he spent much of his life toiling farms and photographing the Cordillera, the mountainous regions in North Luzon. His black-and-white work was an anthropological record of the vanishing customs and rituals of the tribes in the region.
There aren't many resources online with his images but some can be viewed here. His images can be viewed at the Masferre Inn and Restaurant in Sagada (it only serves food now), along a wall at the back of the dining area. A coffee table book was on sale but it was too expensive for my budget. The restaurant serves one of the best cheeseburgers I have ever eaten though! Sagada is about eleven hours from Manila, and you have to take a bus to Bontoc before changing to a jeep.

Writing Squad
Support for Young Writers
Manchester Literature Festival is working with the Writing Squad to support emerging young writers from the North West region to develop their craft. The Writing Squad offers thirty writers the chance to work with each other and with professional tutors for two years. This is followed up with ongoing support to help writers make their way in the literature industry. It also offers a sounding board and support network for a growing community of young writers and producers in the North.
The programme is open to all young writers aged 16 – 21 with a passion for any genre of creative writing, including fiction, poetry, lyrics, scripts and performance. We have now recruited our third cohort of writers from the region and during the coming months we will be working with them to support them to develop their writing.
For more details on the programme visit www.writingsquad.com and discover exciting new work in their online journal Push.

Action: Standard • Range: Close • Duration: Instant • Cost: 1 point per rank
You can inflict damage on a target by making a close attack. The exact nature of your Damage is up to you, with the GM's approval; it can be anything from a powerful impact to razor claws, energy fields, or some other damaging medium. The target resists with Toughness:
Toughness vs. [Damage rank + 15]
Success : The damage has no effect.
Failure (one degree): The target has a –1 circumstance penalty to further resistance checks against damage.
Failure (two degrees): The target is dazed until the end of their next turn and has a –1 circumstance penalty to further checks against damage.
Failure (three degrees): The target is staggered and has a -1 circumstance penalty to further checks against damage. If the target is staggered again (three degrees of failure on a Damage resistance check), apply the fourth degree of effect. The staggered condition remains until the target recovers (see Recovery, following).
Failure (four degrees): The target is incapacitated .
The circumstance penalties to Toughness checks are cumulative, so a target who fails three resistance checks against Damage, each with one degree of failure, has a total –3 penalty.
If an incapacitated target fails a resistance check against Damage, the target's condition shifts to dying. A dying target who fails a resistance check against Damage is dead.
Strength provides a "built-in" Damage effect: the ability to hit things! You can apply effect modifiers to the damage your Strength inflicts, making it Penetrating or even an Area effect! You can also have Alternate Effects for your Strength Damage; see the Alternate Effect modifier for details. Like other Damage effects, a character's Strength Damage is close range and instant duration by default.
If you choose, a Damage effect can be Strength-based—something like a melee weapon—allowing your Strength Damage to add to it. You add your Strength and Damage ranks together when determining the rank of the attack. Any modifiers applied to your Damage must also apply to your Strength rank if its bonus damage is to benefit from them. However, any decrease in your Strength reduces the amount you can add to your damage, and negative Strength subtracts from your Damage! Likewise, anything that prevents you from exerting your Strength also stops you from using a Strength-based Damage effect. If you can't swing your fist, you can't swing a sword, either. On the other hand, a laser blade or thuderbolt staff does the same damage whether you can exert your Strength with it or not.
Objects (targets lacking a Stamina rank) take damage similar to other targets. Dazed and staggered results have no real effect on inanimate targets, since they do not take actions. Constructs, capable of action, are dazed and staggered normally (see Constructs).
Inanimate objects are defenseless by definition and therefore subject to finishing attacks (see Finishing Attack in Action & Adventure): essentially, you can choose between making your attack on the object as a routine check or, if you make the attack check normally, gaining an automatic critical hit if your attack hits, for a +5 bonus to effect.
Attacking an object held or worn by another character is a smash action (see Smash in Action & Adventure for more details).
If an attacker's intention is to bend, break or destroy an object, then two degrees of failure on the Toughness check results in a bend or break (such as a hole punched through the object) while three or more degrees of failure means the object is destroyed (shattered, smashed to pieces, etc.).
Example: Lady Justice, rescuing people from a tenement fire, is hemmed-in by collapsed debris. Her player decides to simply punch a path through. Since she's going for maximum damage, she decides to make the attack check normally (rather than a routine check). Given her attack bonus, she'll only miss on a natural 1 anyway. She succeeds and does her Strength in Damage, +5 for the automatic critical. The GM decides the brick, mortar, and heavy beams have Toughness 9 and makes a Toughness check, rolling a 7, against DC 30 (Lady Justice's Damage + 15). A 15 result is three degrees of failure, so she easily smashes through the debris and clears the building, carrying people to safety!
The Toughness ranks of some common materials are shown on the Material Toughness table. The listed ranks are for about an inch (distance rank –7) thickness of the material: apply a +1 per doubling of thickness or a –1 per halving of it. So a foot of stone is Toughness 8. Equipment has Toughness based on its material. Devices have a base Toughness equal to the total points in the device divided by 5 (rounded down, minimum of 1).
|Reinforced Concrete
Living targets remove one damage condition per minute of rest, starting from their worst condition and working back. So a damaged character recovers from being incapacitated, then staggered, dazed, and finally removes a –1 Toughness check penalty per minute until fully recovered. The Healing and Regeneration effects can speed this process. Lasting or more serious injuries are handled as complications (see Lasting Injuries in Recovery section of Action & Adventure).
Objects, having no Stamina, do not recover from damage unless they have an effect like Regeneration. Instead, they must be repaired. See the guidelines under the Technology skill when repairing damaged objects.

Alpine Fence of Colorado, LLC
We Build Curb Appeal
This job was interesting, most of it was built on top of concrete walls.
In addition to that, the heights had to vary because it's a corner lot.
We HAD to use metal posts to connect to the concrete, this customer had us powder coat them black.
This fence didn't get sealant, the homeowner is having his painting company apply a specialty finish.
We are currently scheduling in the two week time frame, we are open all year long.
The website was down for a week, sorry about that.

There is nothing quite like getting a good night's sleep, but it also seems to be something that is elusive for most people. Regardless of whether it is a problem with sleep apnea, chronic pain or any other issue that keeps you from getting the sleep you need, it can be an issue that affects the very quality of your life. In recent years, there have been some advancements in mattresses and the comfort they provide on with foam being near the top of the list.
Having a memory foam mattress is undoubtedly something that can help for a variety of different reasons. It is a type of mattress that can cradle the body and it is especially helpful for those who suffer from chronic pain. The unfortunate thing is, most people are unable to afford to purchase a memory foam mattress, but there are alternatives that may work just as well. One of those is using a memory foam topper and these pads can certainly go a long way in helping you to be comfortable and to get a great night's sleep. How can you choose a memory foam topper that is right for you?
First of all, it is important to consider the type of mattress that you are currently using by going to any top rated mattress review website and getting familiar with the types. For many people, a problem with a bed that is too firm is going to cause pain and discomfort. Even if you feel as if you are sleeping the whole night through, it is likely that your sleep is not quality and that is why you might get tired during the day. In other cases, a mattress may be too soft. If you do have a mattress that is already soft or overly soft, then a memory foam topper pad is not going to help. On the other hand, using one of these memory foam toppers for a hard or firm mattress is an excellent choice.
The quality of the pad is also something to consider. As is the case with many products, not all of these memory foam mattress toppers are created equally. The density of the foam is something to consider but even among topper pads with equal densities; there are going to be differences. Start with a topper that is approximately 4-pound density and then moves up from there. It is also important to try one against another if at all possible to see which one provides the most comfortable option.
Thickness is also a consideration but doesn't get caught up in the notion that thicker is always better. There are pads that are 4 inches or even greater, but in most cases, a 2-inch pad is going to provide exactly what is necessary for a reduction in pain and a better night's sleep. Also, a pad that is only 2 inches thick is going to be more affordable, so it is budget friendly as well. When you keep all of these things in mind, you can choose a memory foam topper that is going to be just right for your needs.

Teacher Colleges Told Future Depends On Ties With School Boards, Unions
Detroit--Representatives of the nation's colleges of education, who have faced critics in all quarters recently, encountered a new one here late last month--themselves.
At the 35th annual convention of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (aacte), speakers among the more than 3,000 officials meeting contended that teacher-training schools have thus far been ineffectual in countering the continuing public criticism of their programs.
"It's our own fault that we're being put down," said Jack Gant, dean of education at Florida State University and aacte's president. "We've been too soft in sitting back and accepting criticism. We have to take the initiative before education schools are run out of business.''
Mr. Gant cited the recent closings of education schools--at Case Western Reserve and Duke University, among others--as well as the reorganization of the program at the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Michigan's current examination of its department of education for possible elimination.
Outside Pressure
"There is unbelievable pressure from the outside on education schools," he said, "and we've been guilty of bending to that pressure. Our tendency has been to circle the wagons when we're under attack and draw into ourselves without fighting back."
Instead, Mr. Gant said, schools of education must begin building coalitions with local school boards, education unions, and veteran teachers. He called on his fellow education-school deans to "use our allies'' to fend off attacks from critics.
While Mr. Gant was calling for a public-relations campaign for education schools, others at the convention were calling for programmatic changes.
Edward Simpkins, dean of education at Wayne State University, said the time has come for education schools to "break out of the four-year college mode."
Mr. Simpkins, whose own department is up for review, said education schools should sever their ties with undergraduate programs. He said teachers should be trained in graduate professional schools, just as doctors and lawyers are.
"We see that the way it is now, working in tandem with liberal-arts colleges, isn't working," Mr. Simpkins said. Asked if it was unreasonable to ask moderately paid teachers to attend expensive graduate schools, Mr. Simpkins said, "Well, I'm talking about restructuring a lot of things, including the salaries and public image."
Declining Number of Blacks
Mr. Gant and others at the convention expressed alarm over the declining number of blacks entering teaching. They said that increased use of standardized competency tests is hastening that decline. (See Education Week, Jan. 19, 1983.)
From 1975 to 1978, the number of black teachers in the United states dropped 13 percent, a rate of decline twice that for all teachers.
Elaine Witty, dean of the school of education at Norfolk State University in Virginia, blamed the decline on desegregation, increased opportunities in other fields, seniority systems that defeat affirmative-action plans in a tight economy, poor grade-school preparation, and, most recently, increased use of competency tests for admission to teacher-training programs. Such tests, she said, discriminate against minorities and bilingual students.
Added Mr. Gant: "The aacte believes that every child in a pluralistic society has a right and responsibility to, at some time, have a teacher from a culture different from his or her own. If this trend continues, that will not be possible."
Mr. Gant said the association does not oppose testing, but it also does not believe any one measure should be used to screen teachers.

A tummy tuck is a really effective way of shedding excess fat from the abdominal area and is even more helpful for those who are having a hard time achieving a toned physique. Also known as abdominoplasty, Perth surgeon are one of the greatest surgeon doing this operation, tummy tuck is designed to revitalize weakened and damaged abdominals, which is often the case of many women after childbirth. Just like any type of surgery, patients should do their research prior to opting to go under the knife. There will be a number of factors to be considered, given a tummy tuck can affect the lifestyle of the patients after surgery.
Strategy adequate time for tummy tuck healing. Tummy tuck isn't really a small operation. A lot of clients can anticipate a minimum of 2 weeks of downtime, where even the most standard of activities can be tough. Enable yourself time after the surgical treatment to rest and concentrate on recovery. This implies taking suitable time off of work, as well as scheduling some live-in help with child care and tasks around your home. A lot of clients feel back to their typical selves within 3 weeks after the surgical treatment, though heavy exercise ought to be prevented for a minimum of a month. Most of the discomfort, swelling and post-op tiredness is over within the very first 4 weeks, however, permit yourself adequate time to recuperate and understand that it takes a minimum of 6 months to see your outcomes.
Promote much faster recovery with healthy foods. There is no much better time to concentrate on healthy, healthy meals than after a surgical treatment. A diet plan abundant in healthy grains, lean proteins and veggies promotes much better immune health and will offer your body the methods to recover surgical injuries much faster. For ideal healing, avoid junk foods and those which are extremely processed.
Make certain your weight is steady ahead of time. Abdominoplasty is not a tool for enormous weight-loss. If your scale has the tendency to change significantly, it's much better to wait till you have actually attained a steady number that is within 10 to 15 percent of your objective weight. This is especially pertinent for clients who have actually just recently had bariatric surgical treatment, as many cosmetic surgeons advise waiting a minimum of one year prior to having a tummy tuck.
The surgical treatment will leave a scar. In order to eliminate loose, drooping skin and tighten up stomach muscles, your cosmetic surgeon will need to make a horizontal cut that goes from hip to hip. Be prepared to have a scar that will slowly fade from red to light pink over the months and years. The cut is constantly made simply listed below the panty line, which allows clients to conceal the scar quickly below underclothing or swimsuit bottoms.
Abdominoplasty outcomes can be irreversible. A tummy tuck is ensured to offer you a smoother, flatter stomach that is devoid of excess skin. In order to keep your brand-new svelte figure, it's finest to prevent significant variations in weight. For this reason, ladies who are intending on future pregnancies ought to hold off a tummy tuck up until they are completed having kids.

Movement Lesson™
Michelle Turner of Movement Lesson is the expert when it comes to shot regression. After her son Graham received a vaccine at the age of 13 months, he immediately went from a child developmentally on track, to years of delays in speech, sight and muscle tone. Here are the key signs of what she says parents must look for:
5 Key Signs of Regression from Vaccines
What parents should look for that their child may be at risk for a potential problem…
1. Non-responsive - A healthy child starts to look if you say 'Where's Daddy? Where's the ball?" Suddenly you find yourself repeating it or saying it louder. Needing to touch or prompt your child to get their attention.
2. Staring - Babies and toddlers work the room. You don't loose a child into a good TV show until they're a few years older. If they seem like they're zoning out or loosing track of what they are doing or obsessing over one item for a length of time.
3. Sensory & Touch - Babies and toddlers like to explore there environment. If they once enjoyed food & getting messy now the suddenly have fear of smells, messes, touch and/or sounds.
4. Fear - Does your child suddenly have fears? Does the child suddenly cling to a parent or have separation anxiety? Lost a sense of calm or peace that they previously had?
5. Slouching - babies and toddlers with a healthy nervous system don't slouch. Your child might suddenly seem heavy to pick up or carry around. They're not 'laid back' or easy going.
Young children should be curious about the world around them. The trauma from vaccine reaction can be so severe to a child's central nervous system that without intervention can lead to diagnoses of autism and developmental delay. Michelle M. Turner uses her personal experience with her professional training to help children avoid the same route that her son had to take. Through a series of gentle, enjoyable movements, your child will display noticeable improvements in motion and awareness of his or her body. A Movement Lesson will increase mobility and improve cognitive functions and communication skills.

Miley Cyrus's new FaceTime photo shoot for Interview magazine is being branded "flat-out porn", with one shot showing her lying topless and appearing to masturbate.
The pictures were taken as part of the magazine's #Me issue, which features a variety of different covers, each featuring a selfie of a celebrity.
Fashion photographer Mert Alas FaceTimed celebs including Kim Kardashian, Zayn Malik, Selena Gomez and Victoria Beckham, and then screen grabbed his favourite shots.
The magazine captioned the gallery of Miley's session: "Sometimes you have to reach out and touch someone-slash-yourself. Mert Alas shares a few of his sexts with the fearless and self-possessed princess of pop."
They aren't kidding. One picture shows a topless Miley licking her lips and winking, while another sees her bent over with her tongue out, taken from above.
But the most controversial screen grab involves Miley with her t-shirt pulled up and her pants pulled down, while she seems to finger herself while Mert watches.
Now, excuse us while we get a bit grandma on you, but good golly gosh, this is all a bit "out there," isn't it? Even for Miley Cyrus...
The full shoots with other celebs are yet to be released.

Cormega InterviewAuthor: Adam Bernard
The beef with Nas is long done, but there was always a lot more to Cormega than just a simple battle. To illustrate this he's releasing a three-plus hour DVD on his life come November. This week RapReviews caught up with the Queensbridge legend to discuss some of those life stories that most folks have never heard before.
"These situations show that Hip-Hop is here and people are willing to buy it, the consumer is looking for it, they just ain't getting it."
"For somebody like Marley Marl to say "Mega was the original gangsta rapper from Queensbridge," to hear that was humbling."
"You gotta understand, 85% of minorities that are in wheelchairs between the ages of 18 and 36 are from gunshot wounds."
"I want everyone to see that you can be in these situations, you can be fucked up, and still come back and be what you want to be."

A publication of the Archaeological Institute of America
Recently, the forlorn Shiva temple at Bhojpur got a lift from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). The colossal, roofless temple has waited a millennium for the resumption of work that seems to have been unceremoniously halted in the eleventh century.
The temple, a legacy of King Bhoja (ca. A.D.1000-1050), bears half-finished stone carvings, mason's marks, and drawings etched in stone delineating the original architect's plans for the structure. The ASI decided to save the shrine from weather damage by following the blueprint left behind 1,000 years ago. They found the quarry used for the initial construction and, using a pulley, raised eight boulders, each weighing eight tons, to the roof. The simple pulley system was instituted when modern cranes failed to position the boulders.
Amid doubts over the load-bearing capacity of the structure, reconstruction has been delayed pending an expert report. The Shiva temple will have to wait a little longer to get its roof.

Out of all of our dinners, customers gift the DownEast Feast most often. Let your family or friends know how much you appreciate them with this exquisite feast. The DownEast Feast has the most customization of any of our dinners. Choose your live Maine lobster size, your soup, shellfish and produce. Don't worry if the recipient has the supplies to cook up this feast, it is all included! In addition to the feast we supply the enamel pot and lobster crackers with this dinner. While your guests dig into this feast, they wont be able to help but make memories to last.
Fun Fact
We all know the directions North, South, East and West. However, you have to have Maine knowledge to know what "DownEast" is. Sailors in the old days described the direction of ships traveling from Maine to Boston or New York as "DownEast". Of course meaning downwind in the direction of East. DownEast has come to represent a certain area, and the maritime history of independent and strong spirit of the people in the area.
About Our Lobsters
All of our lobsters are hand selected hard-shell and wild caught in Maine daily and are antibiotic free. Once the lobsters have been selected and graded by our team, we keep them healthy by holding them in large tanks that have constant recirculation of cold Maine ocean water. Once it is time for your lobsters to be shipped, we pack them in a cooler with some seaweed (when available) and ice packs to ensure they arrive alive and fresh to your doorstep, within 24 hours. If you would like to learn more about Maine Lobster Direct, take a look at our about us page.

Hello from Corfu!
We thought we would check in with you and share a couple of our little snaps from our trip to the beautiful island Corfu in Greece! The sun is shining, the sea is crystal clear and the food is incredible … what more could we have asked for?!
It has been so hot over here that taking it easy is not optional. With so much going on back home, we have to say that it is a very welcomed break! With such beautiful surroundings it is hard not to be inspired so we are looking forward to sharing all our fun ideas with you as soon as we get back … not that we are in a hurry though 😉
Mind, it wasn't all just cheeky cocktails by the pool.
We also had an important meeting with some very talented sea lions…
And an extra special lobster!
Yep, we were lucky enough to get to go scuba diving during our little adventure too. We met this crustacean around 8 meters under the sea. Ariel would have been proud!
We really hope more of our photos turn out from our underwater adventure. With no flash on our little disposable water camera, photography aint so easy. Fingers crossed everyone!
Wish you were here? Us too!
We hope all is good in the land of blogging. Don't worry, we will be back in touch super soon with more updates of our upcoming travels. The fun has only just begun!
Happy camping everyone…

It's not Christmas anymore, is it? Time to post something new...or at least new-ish for the next, um, couple months. =)
There's only so far we can reach, so much we can acheive, and so high we can climb on our own. No matter where we try to get by ourselves down here on earth, there's always going to be something short of perfection...something we long for: a fullness we cannot fufill.
God picks us up from where we are on the floor and places us up on the shelf so that we can truly be all who we were made to be, if only we let Him.

Hello! I am Monika, and I am so ecstatic to be one of the Sweet 'n Sassy Guest Divas for the month of August! Thank you Kim and Korin for this awesome opportunity!
I love flowers so when I saw Poppies and Greetings clear stamp set, I just had to try it! I love how this set has so many different greetings, covering a number of occasions.
I used fairly basic colors (red, green and black) for my card... you can't go wrong with these. I also used my favorite tools: Spellbinders dies, Martha Stewart border punch, and Tim Holtz embossing folder. The image was colored with Copic Markers. I stamped the poppies on a piece of scrap paper... cut them out so I can attach them on top of my main image with dimensional tape. With just a little bit of cutting, you can do wonders for your card. I used sponge daubers to do some distressing and sponging. I love ribbons, so of course I had to add that to my card, using my sewing machine. I am a typical girl so blings are a must! It is so easy to make your card sparkle with some rhinestones.
Hope you enjoy this set as much as I do!
Thanks for stopping by today!

Welcome to my page...rich wallen.com
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2 Cor. 5 19, 20, 21

The upcoming Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is a direct continuation of the plot thread woven by the 2011 Planet of the Apes installment Rise of the Planet of the Apes, wherein human scientist Will Rodman (James Franco) inadvertently contributed to the downfall of civilization; that is, when his experimental Alzheimer's drug - the viral-based "ALZ-113" - proved too potent for human intake, and was inadvertently leaked from his laboratory before spreading across the globe, infecting and killing countless people.
Meanwhile, the genetically-enhanced chimpanzee Caesar (Andy Serkis) - Will's adopted son - was able to escape from the abusive primate shelter where he'd been left, after he exposed his fellow inmates to ALZ-113 (which increased their intelligence) and lead them to safety in the Redwood forest, on the outskirts of San Francisco.
In Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (which apparently won't include an appearance by Franco's character), Caesar has become a king among apes, while the scattered and weakened remnants of humanity struggle to survive in a world where they are no longer the dominant species. Individuals on both sides attempt to reach a peace, even as the drums of full-blown war begin to beat louder, day by day...
As expected, the first Dawn of the Planet of the Apes trailer is the same footage that was shown at the 2013 International Comic-Con. The preview includes glimpses at post-collapse human cities - recalling the overgrown and abandoned buildings featured on TV shows like Revolution and The Walking Dead - in addition to human characters played by Keri Russell (The Americans), Gary Oldman (RoboCop) and Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty) battling apes in the streets - before we get the big money shot of Caesar and his army, clad in war paint and ready for a fight.
Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) took over directing from Rise of the Planet of the Apes helmer Rupert Wyatt on the followup, which Reeves, promises will continue to build towards the future shown in previous Apes installments:
"I wanted to make sure we're continuing to go along the path of evolution without missing it, it was so delicious to watch in the first movie. It's not like now they are talking in verse. Hopefully the movie is emotional and thrilling as you watch the apes come into being."
At Comic-Con, Reeves also mentioned that his Apes movie is more of a psychological and character-driven drama, in the way that it juxtaposes Caesar's struggle to maintain control over his kingdom with the humans' ongoing efforts to manage their own fate. Still, it does appear to be heavier on the action elements than its predecessor, but (hopefully) with some good quality sci-fi and philosophy still thrown into the mix.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes opens in theaters on July 11th, 2014.

Not.coms: should websites sacrifice ranking scope for playful brand perception?Ksenia Dobreva | Posted in category Internet Marketing On Page SEO Search Engine Optimization Search Engines Website Usability
"In the future, fortune could well favor those who didn't sell their good domain names too cheaply, or too boldly"
Frank Schilling
Picking a right domain for your website has been a part of SEO basics for several years now.
A website address is not only a way to reach your page using a browser. It is also a part of branding: domain explains a company's name or product, gives some ideas about your business sector and simply is a thing to remember and associate with a brand.
Choose a superb and catchy website address, play with the company name and words that describe some essence and purpose of your page, because this is a great way to boost your brand awareness even before a detailed SEO campaign is started.
There are a lot of options you can use to make your domain work for you. But today we are not speaking of keywords, website name length and using a brand name in it. There is an important issue about your website which is a top-level domain (TLD). Simply defined, TLD is the last part of a full domain name. For google.com TLD is obviously .com.
.Biz or .cc makes a site sound amateurish?
Almost from the beginning of actual SEO establishing there existed some key thoughts and methods of picking a right TLD. Here are some of them.
- .com TLD is more trustworthy for users. Country code top-level domains (aka ccTLD) are also considered to be more useful, especially for local business pages. Thus, if you are located in France, sphygmomanometer.fr is much better than sphygmomanometer.lol. Many people even now seem to be driven by misconceptions towards websites with names ended in .biz or .info.
- Say, someone has heard you company or product name and wants to reach your web page at once. It is more likely that the first variant that could be typed in the address bar is brandname.com. Moreover, modern browsers automatically suggest you domain extensions to be added while you type. Well, a nice time saving feature. Domains that are easily accessible in such a way are called discoverable. For example, adidas.com is a highly discoverable domain.
- Google and other SE value .com (or country code TLD in some cases) more. Some SEO aces even state that buying .com extension for your website may affect ranking in a significantly better way than .info, .net or .org. At least in a way it could be noticed. Taking account of the fact that such belief is still extremely popular on the Internet, someone would rather not ignore this point. Or?
Although successful SEO campaign acquires following certain tips and tricks, recently more and more websites with custom domains appear. Del.icio.us is an example of world-known one. Also you may have come across bit.ly, brief.ly, instagr.am, and pep.si.
Facts about unconventional TLDs:
- They help to build short URLs. Goo.gl, fold.it and blo.gs could not be more simple to remember.
- Probably, the first unconventional domain inter.net was registered in 1992.
- Аn unconventional domain that combines domain levels, especially the top-level domain, to spell out the full name or title of the domain, is called a domain hack. Not a security term, though, meaning 'a trick'. Gather.at is a good example.
- Two-character ccTLDs (.al, .am, .as, .at, .co, .in, .io, .is, .it, .ly, .me, .mp, .net, .nr, .re, .rs, .st, .li) are often used for domain hacks, as they correspond to simple English words.
- Many desirable domain hacks, such as love.me or leave.me, were held back as premium names for later auction.
- .ly TLD (bit.ly, ow.ly etc.) is a Libya ccTLD.
The entire point of domain hacking is to increase the number of possible domain choices, as today it's extremely difficult to pick a short, noticeable domain with .com, for many of them are occupied now.
To set a trend means to break the rule
You may come across some opinion that brand effect of original and catchy domain may overlap any special relationship between Google and unconventional domains. By success of many companies using unconventional TLDs we can definitely say that even if some SE suspiciousness towards such domains exists, it can be beaten.
If you frequently visit SEO forums you can see some of these beliefs displayed:
- .info etc domains are bad for SEO, because Google count them as 'not trustworthy';
- Backlinks from .info, .net etc TLDs have less weight than from .com;
- It's impossible to reach the level of com rankings using unconventional LTDs;
- Etc.
But let us see. The main purpose of Google is to show its users the most relevant results according to their queries. Imagine that we have an .info domain which is perfect from the Google Webmaster Guidelines view. Why on earth should Google rank it suspiciously just because of the LTD?
What is more, so-called bad rankings results of unconventional domains may be driven from the times when LTDs corresponded to non-profit webpages full of spammy content and black hat SEO tricks. So if even now people sometimes stay away from such pages it may cause less traffic in particular niches.
But again: if your website is extremely useful for visitors and is SEO-friendly, there is no way Google will drop it. Careful forum research showed that there is no any single mentioned exact case when, for example, .net or .info domains are ranked worse that .coms. At least people tried to state that, but it always occurred that their websites had thousands of reasons to be ranked worse.
And we have a proof that Google won't judge sites by TLDs. Here is a Google+ post by Matt Cutts, where he states that new stylish TLDs won't boost one's SEO result.
So now we know that Google won't affect our rankings by TLD factor.
But what about human factor?
Do you need a discoverable name or a brandable name? If you wish to get mostly organic search results, a discoverable name could be more useful… But not necessarily. Even if your website has a brandable domain, it can still rank well in SERP as long as it's full of relevant content. Discoverable names are only necessary for companies counting only on 'type-in' traffic, when your brand is widely known by people.
But the obvious thing is: unconventional LTDs won't affect your rankings. Rankings are affected by factors that are important for users: content, relevancy, usability etc. TLD factor can be as important as a color of your left highest pixel on your website logo. If the logo is bad, the pixel won't save the situation.
If you still are not scared to death by possible effects of so-called amateurish domains, you can choose one using a special tool.

Virtual Wafer Fab™
VWF enables users to perform advanced analysis tasks like design of experiments (DOE) or optimization, using any of the Silvaco simulators.
Silvaco's Virtual Wafer Fab™ (VWF) software suite addresses this challenge through its use of statistical design of experiments (DoE), a powerful tool for quickly optimizing processes. The modern alternative to single-variable experimentation, DOE overcomes the information limitations of successive approximation experiments and quickly provides the kind of understanding and results that are needed. Optimal designs reduce the cost of experimentation by allowing statistical models to be estimated with fewer experimental runs and facilitating reduced time to market.
Silvaco's Virtual Wafer Fab™ (VWF) software suite for automated simulations helps users to cut development costs dramatically and reduce silicon learning cycles and the risk of missing a market window. As an alternative to DOE, the user can utilize an optimization framework consisting of several local and global optimization strategies to achieve a predefined target. This will allow users to automate tasks such as optimization of process parameters or calibration of model parameters. The VWF software is not limited to running only a single simulator but can combine any of the Silvaco simulation tools available allowing the user to optimize full-flow simulations. To support massive parallel operation, grid computing software like Oracle grid-engine (OGE) and LSF can be utilized. There is virtually no limit as to how many simulations can be carried out in parallel.
- Graphical user interface (GUI)
- Support for: SQL-92 based database engine, filemode to keep data in XML files, RSM plots of simulated data
- Import/export features to copy data to/from the database
- Massive parallel execution of simulations through Oracle Grid Engine and LSF supported
- Results exportable into Excel or OpenOffice spreadsheet formats
- VWF can represent an entire flow from process simulation to spice circuit performance, or just part of the flow
- Powerful scripting interface allows users to customize DOEs, run experiments in the background, and compute complex optimization target functions
- Process characteristics (i.e. oxide thickness), device characteristics (i.e. threshold voltage), and circuit characteristics (i.e. rise time) can be measured from entire flow
- Each experimental variation can be run on a network of hosts to shorten simulation time
- Response models can be generated over experimental spread and then input parameters can be rubber banded to see the effect on output responses
- Full worksheet of input and measured output responses can be exported to SPAYN for additional statistical analysis or to TonyPlot for viewing purposes
- Advanced security features allowing fine-grained access control
VWF is shipped with many examples demonstrating how the user can best utilize a cluster of available computing hardware and how you can automate many types of applications, such as:
- Parameterize important geometrical characteristics of a test structure, such as thicknesses of different layers, spacer width, gate length, etc., and investigate effects on important device characteristics
- Allow optimization algorithm to vary process parameters, such as gate oxide time and temperature or Vt adjust implant dose and energy, to achieve targeted device characteristic, such as given threshold voltage
- Start with a gds file of an inverter and simulate the 3D backend process to extract and analyze corresponding capacitances
- Run fully automated calibrations of simulation model parameters – script allows user to combine several simulation runs into single target, enabling maximum flexibility
Technical Specifications
- Standard DOE experiment types
- Defining own DOE types by means of script
- DOE importing from spreadsheet (excel)
- Various local and global optimization strategies
- Oracle grid engine (OGE) and LSF cluster computing software

Create an Experience for Your Audience with Your Personal Brand
As you take your communications plan and your expertise into the world with your personal brand, you want to make sure that you allow for flexibility in your interactions with your target audience.
In other words, use your communications plan and your expertise as tools to give you momentum and confidence and use that confidence to allow you to improvise. No matter what field you're in, you have to bring a human touch to your personal interactions or else your target audience may not feel comfortable doing business with you.
Keep this in mind: Your target audience wants an experience — not just a product or service. When someone reaches out to you for help with a problem, she takes for granted that you have the expertise to assist with that problem. (And she may not have the knowledge to judge your expertise anyway.)
Therefore, the first impression you make is with the relationship you create and the human bond you establish. Assuming that you perform your job with skill (by delivering on the expertise you've promised), the job well done supports that first impression, and you become the go-to person the next time a similar problem arises.
Living in a branded world means that you live in an experience economy. You engage your target market not just with what you can provide but with who you are. Something happens in the interaction between you and your target audience that changes the way your audience feels.
When you customize an experience to each person you meet (while still being true to your personal brand), you make a memorable impression. That interaction becomes transformative in some way.
Experiences are personal; no two people can experience the same situation exactly the same way. If you can deliver your personal brand authentically, you will create an experience and a memory of who you are and what you do. Show the world how good you are at being you.
