NASA shows first WISE telescope images
NASA released the first pictures from the WISE infrared space telescope Wednesday, including a new view of our closest galactic neighbour.
The new images include a shot of the Andromeda galaxy and its smaller satellite galaxies, a glowing comet, a distant galaxy cluster, and cloud of dust and gas teeming with newly born stars.
The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, launched in December, is on a mission to survey the entire sky in the infrared part of the light spectrum.
Since it began its scan of the heavens Jan. 14, it has sent more than 250,000 raw images back to Earth, and NASA has processed some of them for the public to see, assigning false colours to the different wavelengths of infrared light.
"These first images are proving the spacecraft's secondary mission of helping to track asteroids, comets and other stellar objects will be just as critically important as its primary mission of surveying the entire sky in infrared," said Ed Weiler, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate, in a statement.
The satellite is orbiting the Earth more than 500 kilometres over the north and south poles, detecting objects that are difficult to see from the ground, including asteroids, cool stars such as brown dwarfs, and galaxies that shine brightly in infrared light.
WISE is mapping the sky in the infrared, so it has to be cooled so that it won't be blinded by its own heat. While the vacuum of space is cold, it isn't a very good conductor of heat, so the satellite carries super-cooled liquid hydrogen, which it vents into space.
Because WISE has a limited supply of hydrogen coolant, the satellite's mission will last only about 10 months, enough time to survey the entire sky about one-and-a-half times.

There are a number of different types of laptop stickers that may be used to decorate or protect the laptop. Small, decorative stickers are some of the most common, which are placed on the outside of the case but do not cover the entire case; these may also be referred to as laptop decals. Larger laptop stickers include laptop skins, which fit over the entire case and help to protect it from scratches, as well as adding aesthetic appeal and making the computer more easy to identify. Laptop keyboard stickers may be placed on each individual key on the keyboard, which can also help to change the look of the laptop.
Decorative laptop stickers are easy to find and apply. These are popular among people who want to show off their allegiance to a certain cause, for example, or a preference for a favorite band. It is best to choose stickers or laptop decals that are specifically designed for laptops, because these will be easier to remove if desired. Other stickers can become impossible to remove over time, or may leave sticky residue on the case that will attract dirt and grime. Search online for laptop decals that are easy to apply and remove.
Among the more popular laptop stickers are adhesive skins. These fit over the whole case of the laptop, completely changing the look of it. As these are typically designed for laptops, they are usually easy to remove. Custom designs may be purchased online, or there are many pre-made designs in different patterns, such as geometric patterns, floral or nature images, or pictures from a favorite interest such as a sports team. Laptop skins serve a functional purpose as well, because they help to protect the case from dings and scratches; of course, it is still important to carry the laptop carefully in a thicker case to prevent damage to the computer itself if it is dropped.
Laptop keyboard stickers are popular as well. They can help to give the keyboard a unique design, such as a vintage look, the appearance of many different colored keys, or even a complete image in the background. They may also be used to add a second set of characters in a different language, for example. These can be difficult to apply and remove, so it is important to be careful during the application process and make sure each of the individual stickers is centered on the keys. Laptop stickers can be a great and inexpensive way to freshen up the look of an older laptop, or to personalize a new one.
Post 2
@Melonlity -- some manufacturers have gotten smart about locating those stickers in the battery compartment where it is better protected. That's a good move because losing that information could cause trouble if you get your laptop serviced.
Post 1
A sticker that is very common is one that is put on the bottom by the manufacturer. That one isn't what you'd call decorative but it is very useful -- it is the sticker the identifies the user as a legitimate owner of the laptop's operating system. That one usually contains the serial number you will need if you ever need to replace your operating system or prove that you are authorized to use it.
It is a good idea to write down that serial number and keep it somewhere safe. Quite often, the heat the laptop generates will fade out the sticker.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Really liking that Gullickson
That Spencer is nice. During his hype in '98 I was lucky to get things signed at a signing. I got a ball, his Bowman card and the SI mag with him on the cover. It was a free signing at a mall in CT and I happened to be friends with the security crew. That's how I was able to get 3 items signed.
And some autos I got authenticated via a group submission to Beckett's new authentication service. Sent in 10 and all but one were legit. Well I knew at least four of them were. This was the one the didn't authenticate, it included a note saying they couldn't verify it. Makes sense though since he isn't a player or celebrity.
It was my first and only TTM. I actually just sent out about six other ones out today, wish me luck!
Excellent additions! Love the Giuliani and Selleck!

I remember thinking he was crazy wanting so much. I think I offered $50 (thinking that was a lot for it). Seller didn't respond and it was gone within a few hrs, lol.
I'm not overly thrilled with the condition of it, it's almost creased on the front (around the New York) and the back is showing the stitching pushed through. It was kept in a toploader too small for the card : /
Great pickups as usual Eddie!

Allo my friends, it is your pal writing to all of you on the internets! I hope your day has been really nice! My day has been pretty good. Started out with some work outs, played some video games and watched some pretty funny videos on the YouTube! After that though, I got a little bit confused so I figured I would write to you, my readers with hopes you can clear a few things up for me.
I got on the Pens Initiative Facebook page where I saw a post about your old buddy Letang and saying Letang For Norris with a number sign before it. It looked like this #LETANGforNORRIS. At first this confuses me because I thought Penguins fans liked me again? Why would they want to trades me? So I figured this Norris guy must be pretty good! So i went back to the internets to look!
My search was a long one but brought me to the man you all speaks of. Chuck Norris. First thing that I noticed was that Chuck Norris doesn't even play the hockey. HE DOESN'T PLAY THE HOCKEY! Why would fans want to trade me for someone who does't play hockey? This makes me think that their teams on NHL 15 GM mode are a huge messes. At first I thoughts that you Penguins fans were being sooo stupids again until I continued to read about him. I learned a few things that were pretty interesting.
First, I read that when Chuck Norris walks into a room that mice jump on chairs. I am so scared of mice that when I see them I jump on chairs! I wonder how he can be so scary that something as scary as a mice can be so afraid of a Chuck Norris. Then I read that when Superman goes to beds that he wears Chuck Norris pajamas. What?! That is crazies because when I go to sleeps I wear Superman pajamas! This Chuck Norris guy must be pretty awesome!
I kepts reading a huge list of what I assume are Chuck Norris credentials when I got towards the end where it said that Chuck Norris is the reason that Waldo, you know from 'Where's Waldo' is hiding. This Chuck Norris must be really strongs and scary if a bunch of books have been dedicated to the fear he put into one man! At this point I started to gets really scared so I picked up my phone and I called my best friend, Marc-Andre.
I said "Allo Marc-Andre!" and he said Hi.. I told him about the people on the internets who wanted me to be traded for Chuck Norris and told him all the amazing things that I learned about him. He told me that I am a good hockey player and I should not worry. He then told me that he just saw a buddy of his asking him what he thought about Letang for Norris and he said I might be in trouble and started to laugh at me.. I screamed "Screw you Marc-Andre!" and I hangs up the phone. He can be such a jerk sometimes.. I hope we trade him for Chuck Norris! Okay, no I don't..
Anyways, I should probably go and train more! I am really hopeful to win the defenseman of the year award and you got to play and practice really hard to get such an honour! Plus I need to step up my game if I don't want to be traded for Norris. I will talk to you guys later and I hope by then I will still be a Penguin!
Oh, and screw you, Chuck Norris!
*This is a joke.This is not the real Kris Letang.
All in good fun.

The widow of headmaster Philip Lawrence has learned that her husband's killer is to be freed from jail, just days after the murder of teacher Ann Maguire.
Frances Lawrence, who this week sent a message of condolence to the family of Mrs Maguire, was only informed of the decision by the Parole Board to release Learco Chindamo shortly before the news was made public.
The killer will be back on the streets within days.
Philip Lawrence, left, and his killer Learco Chindamo
The call came so late that Mrs Lawrence was unable to inform her children that their father's killer was to be released.
Chindamo was jailed indefinitely for knifing Mr Lawrence to death outside St George's Roman Catholic School in north-west London in 1995. The 48-year-old father of four had gone to help a 13-year-old pupil who was being assaulted.
A spokesman for the Parole Board said: "We can confirm that a three-member panel of the board has directed the release of Learco Chindamo.
"The decision to release is a matter for the board, which is independent. Practical arrangements for the release are a matter for the Secretary of State.
"We are unable to comment further on the details of this case."
Chindamo was released for the first time in July 2010, but he was sent back to prison within months after being allegedly involved in a mugging — a charge of which he was later cleared.
Mrs Lawrence declined to comment.
Members of Mrs Maguire's family came face to face with her alleged killer on Thursday morning when they saw the 15-year-old schoolboy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appear before Leeds youth court to be charged with her murder.

I have a confession…I *despise* pork chops. Yup, don't like em at all. But for some reason every now and then I see a recipe and I forget that I don't like them haha! And I have to say this recipe really makes me forget! It is beyond easy, quick & cheap too!
Recipe from Kraft Food & Family Cookbook – Best Recipes For All Seasons
1 pkg Stove Top Stuffing Mix for Chicken
1 can (21 oz) Lucky Leaf apple pie filling
6 boneless pork loin chops (about 1 1/2lbs)
Heat Oven to 375 degrees
Prepare stuffing according to package
Spread pie filling onto bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray; top with pork chops & stuffing; cover
Bake 40 minutes or until chops are done (160 degrees), uncovering after 30 minutes.
Tonight I used Stove Top's Special Edition stuffing with Craisins in it (do you see a theme of my day?). I also made the stuffing slightly moister than I normally do and I really like it better.
Here's how you do it:
- Go to Lucky Leaf's Facebook & under the Lucky 13 Recipe Contest:
- Enter your email address,
- Fill out your name, date of birth & address,
- In the Keyword Search on the next page, search for: Reesa
- Click on my recipe & vote!

With James being a brewer, he loves his beers and can often be heard suggesting we go to the pub for a drink. Me being a non drinker can sometimes be some what reluctant to go along. I like to visit pubs for the atmosphere, for lovely surroundings, I guess that is the female in me. I look for detail in the decorating, and the plants and flowers in the beer garden, the surroundings.
Being a blogger I love following new blogs and looking for things that are of interest to me. I have a selection of craft blogs, floristry blogs, gardening blogs, baking and cooking blogs, home blogs and just general life blogs that I follow, they all seem to have a target audience. I haven't targeted my own blog to any particular audience, but I know it is mainly females that read it, you are all interested in the same things as me. Crafts, homemaking, etc. you know the deal.
What me and James wanted was a blog that would be of interest to everyone. The female crafter and homemaker and the male interested in beer and visiting pubs, we are hoping to capture that in our new blog A Brewer's Wife For Me.

Ricky and Ashley have an enormous fight because they are trying to resist falling for each other. They've been through a lot together and their relationship is deeper than most teenagers. Anne and George overhear the argument and tell Ricky to go home for a few days and they will take care of John. They broach Ashley about the relationship and Anne really hits the point home that you must think with your head as well as your heart. Ashley decides that at this time, they can be nothing more than friends.
When Ricky gets home, his birth mother is at his apartment above the butcher shop. She wants to bond with him before she goes back to prison. Even though he keeps pushing her away you get the sense that he enjoys her being around. After school they come home to find her selling up a storm at the butcher's shop. Ricky is genuinely sad when he drives his mother to turn herself in.
The Dead Mothers Club gathers to help Ben practice telling his deceased mother that he's going to be a father. He thinks it will help him break the news to Amy. It doesn't. Ben informs Leo that he's not going to tell her he'll let her hear from someone else. Leo takes charge and charters a plane to take Ben to NY to take him to tell Amy face to face.
When they arrive in NY, Amy is ecstatic to see Ben. Even though he has already prepared a speech he blurts out his secret. As predicted Amy's furious, says goodbye, and turns her back on Ben.

FIFA holds leadership elections, faces criminal inquiries
FIFA's election for President is taking place Friday, May 29, 2015 in Zurich, Switzerland.
Incumbent president, Sepp Blatter, is a candidate, seeking a fifth term at the poll. Amidst the elections, two criminal inquiries into corruption charges at football's world governing body, FIFA, are under way in the US and Switzerland.
Seven top officials of the world football house were arrested on the eve of its 2015 Congress in Zurich in connection with the charges, but Mr. Blatter was not one of the seven arrested FIFA officials.
The BBC had quoted the US Justice Department as having said the seven arrested officials were among 14 persons indicted in connection with corruption charges in a US inquiry.
The BBC had also said the second criminal inquiry was launched by Swiss prosecutors into the bids for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
The two World Cups are scheduled to take place in Russia and Qatar, respectively.
Following the launch of the two criminal inquiries and subsequent arrests, many calls were made for FIFA to postpone the elections until the criminal charges are fully dealt with.
But FIFA vowed it was going ahead with the elections as scheduled saying, there would be no rerun of the World Cup bidding processes for 2018 and 2022.

Picture: Rizzle Kicks, Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule - The Brit Awards (Brit's) 2014 held at the O2 - Arrivals - London, United Kingdom - Wednesday...
Rizzle Kicks star Jordan Stephens has come under fire after posting a message on his Facebook.com page appealing for help buying drugs.
The British rapper took to his personal account on the social networking site to ask his friends for help buying powerful hallucinogenic Lsd, which carries a maximum seven-year prison sentence for possession in the U.K.
According to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, he wrote, "Can anyone in London help me get hold of any acid?"
A source close to the pop star tells the newspaper the post was a joke, and that the Lost Generation rapper sees his page as somewhere he can talk openly.
Stephens had not commented on the report as Wenn went to press.

Facebook Launches 'Send' Button; Is the 'Like' Dead?
Facebook said Monday that it had added a "Send" button to allow members of its Facebook Groups to share content, such as a news story or deal, with other members.
Facebook said that users should think of a "Send" button as a private "Like" button, specific to Facebook Groups, the company said. Since the launch last year, users have created 50 million Facebook Groups, the company said.
"A year ago, we launched the Like button, which gives you a quick way to share the things you find on the web with all your friends," Elliot Lynde, a Facebook Groups engineer, wrote in a blog post on Monday. "But there are times when you find something that you only want to share with a few specific people."
Enter "send". The button will show up on "50 leading Web sites," Facebook wrote Monday, including Orbitz and others. "Send" will allow a user to send the link to as many as individuals as he or she chooses, or to the Group at large.
The Send button is perhaps the most important improvement Facebook made to its "Groups" feature, which Facebook launched in October of 2010. Those units include separate areas on the site for families, teams, clubs, and any other collection of humans that had a need to interact with one another exclusively. Groups get an e-mail address, group chat, their own photo galleries, and document sharing and editing.
"People are using Groups to communicate with many of the important communities in their lives, like their families, best friends, and teammates," Lynde said. "My own family uses a group to stay connected to each other. As a Californian with a brother living in Peru and parents back in Wisconsin, we use our group to update each other about our lives, share vacation photos, and discuss where we're going to meet up next.
"I also have a group with my roommates, Lynde added. "Because we have such different schedules, we can go a whole week without seeing each other in person. Our group is where we meet to divide up chores, settle our bills, and make plans for the weekend."
What else is new? The ability to post questions and polls, and send them just to the Google Group that a user has in mind. Users also can upload entire albums of photos to the Group, rather than just individual photos. Facebook also added a control that lets Groups owner approve people before they are added to the group.
Facebook also said that users of the old Groups would receive email in the upcoming weeks about how to upgrade.
Developers don't need to necessarily phase out the "Like" button in favor of "Send"; Facebook has provided a way to put one next to the other. In the coming days, Facebook will provide real-time metrics for the Send button in the Insights Dashboard, the company said.

Car Audio Hype: Pioneer "MIXTRAX" Technology
We have all been there, a group of people in one car about to embark on a long trip. It is moments like those in which shouting "shotgun!" becomes incredbily important. Why? Not just because you avoid sitting in the back seat with your flatulant friend Bob, but because who ever is shotgun gets to also be the "DJ" for the entire trip. A blessing for the shotgun rider but a possible curse for everyone else in the damn car. Well, Pioneer has found a way to end the "road trip DJ" argument for good with their new "MIXTRAX" technology. MIXTRAX searches a user's music library and finds tracks that are similar in genre and BPM (beats per minute) and creates "TRAX" that keep the party going non-stop without having to manually scan through your music libaray or radio stations. It even adds DJ style transitions between songs like reverb, scratching, crossfading and more to make sure that the music is a continuous experience. That stuff is all great but I am just happy that MIXTRAX can save me from listening to nothing but "Air Supply" for an entire road trip, everyone knows that "WHAM!" is where its at!
Press Release:
MIAMI – (December 8, 2011) – Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. continues to innovate entertainment and audio technologies and today introduces MIXTRAX™, a proprietary technology which creates a nonstop mix of an entire music library to create a club-like atmosphere. Designed for music lovers and the club-going audience, MIXTRAX takes the music from an iPhone/iPod or USB/SD device and plays it back with added transitions and effects creating a virtual DJ inside select Pioneer products. Derived from Pioneer's experience in developing world-renowned professional DJ products, MIXTRAX is implemented in a variety of worldwide Pioneer car audio products and STEEZ products designed for the dance community.
"Music has a unique ability to affect our moods, our feelings, and even our energy levels. With MIXTRAX, the listener hears the same kind of high-energy, nonstop mix they'd hear in a club or at a party, but now created seamlessly from their own music collection," said Andy Parsons, senior vice president at Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. "Pioneer's MIXTRAX technology combines our rich DJ heritage with our passion for music and delivers a unique DJ infused listening experience to our customers."
Pioneer's MIXTRAX technology transforms a consumer's music library into customizable tracks that can be processed by select Pioneer products. Using Pioneer's free MIXTRAX music management software, the user's entire music collection is analyzed and various musical attributes including tempo and beats per minute (BPM) are identified. The software then tags each song and creates an assortment of playlists categorized in different genres and musical styles such as Beat, Chill, and Thump. The advanced analysis of the software identifies the best transition points of each song in the music library and seamlessly mixes and blends the tracks together, much like a DJ performing live.
Additionally, the Mix Style can be selected between Active, Standard and Simple, adjusting the intensity of the effects and transitions used, and the duration of each track within the mix. The custom MIXTRAX playlists can be transferred to a USB/SD memory device (not included) and played through an assortment of Pioneer in-car Audio Video products (see model list below) and STEEZ products, as well as transferred directly into STEEZ products for playback. Pioneer's in-car Audio Video receiver takes advantage of its large LCD touchscreen by animating the album art of the currently playing track in time with the mix, creating a truly unique in-vehicle music experience.
To easily and quickly enjoy nonstop mix of music, a simpler version of the technology called MIXTRAX EZ is built-in to several Pioneer in-dash products for both in-car CD receivers and in-car Audio Video receivers. Featured in new in-car CD receivers (see model chart below), three types of DJ-style transitions (Flanger, Echo and Crossfade) and six sound effects (Backspin 1 and 2, Echo, Trans, Roll and Scratch) are automatically added between songs for a nonstop, continuous listening experience.
To further enhance the "dance club in your car" atmosphere, the illumination buttons and display of the in-car CD receivers pulsates and changes color. Two modes of illumination (defeatable), each with six color patterns, create different light effects to give users a cool and fun experience.
The third in-vehicle implementation of MIXTRAX is in an iPhone App that can be used with Pioneer's revolutionary AppRadio™, the first in-vehicle product designed to utilize the smartphone's processing power, storage capacity, network connectivity and apps as the primary source for its information and entertainment capabilities. Similar to the MIXTRAX software, the MIXTRAX iPhone App compares the tracks stored in the iPhone's music library with Pioneer's list of analyzed music stored in its Internet servers to identify musical characteristics and create custom playlists with DJ style effects and transitions for a nonstop mix of songs that can be played back and controlled through the Pioneer AppRadio.

'Recognition in one's profession means a great deal. Needless to say it carries even more weight when we are dealing with work that is of significant public interest and involves a heightened degree of danger. Defending human rights is exactly such work in many regions of the world, including Russia. But I implore you to keep on doing it. It is of paramount importance - it's not just years of hard work, it's both victories and disappointments, threats, solidarity, trust in the values we defend. Simply put, it's our life.'

A Full Bolt of Shifu: Cotton Warp and Paper/Cotton Weft
Written on July 12, 2012
About a year ago, on a shopping trip to Japan, I bought a full bolt (about 13 yards or 12 meters) of shifu, or cloth woven with paper yarns. Here it is: the bolt is warped with cotton yarns and the weft is paper and cotton intermittently.At the time I found this, I was hesitant to buy it as it was expensive–handwoven shifu always is. But I couldn't resist. In these details you can see the slubby nature of the cloth; these slubs are the paper yarns. Really lovely, aren't they?In old Yamagata prefecture, known as Shonai, there was a tradition of paper/cotton weaving, and my hunch was that this bolt is from Shonai as it looks like the kind of paper/cotton weaving from that area. The person from whom I acquired this bolt said it isn't Shonai, but I have my doubts.Likely this bolt was intended for use as a futon cover; in fact, I had (and sold) a Shonai paper/cotton futon cover that very much resembled this, which further reinforces my gut feeling that this is Shonai.I love the cobalt blue quality of the indigo–and the slubby texture. One of the many interesting things about shifu is its weight: because paper yarn is less dense than cotton or bast, it's usually lighter in the hand than cotton or bast woven cloth.This cloth is thick, so the full bolt is quite hefty in volume. It's also in pristine condition: it appears that this piece was woven, stored, and never touched. I think it's beautiful.

Subscribe To Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers Out Now For Nintendo 3DS Updates
I've already subscribed
Nintendo 3DS fans are being invited to "go hack themselves," as today marks the official launch of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers. Featuring a title so long it needed two colons, Soul Hackers is the upgraded version of a 1997 JRPG that, until now, has never been available in the U.S.
Coming from the fine folks at Atlus, Soul Hacker is a first-person RPG for the 3DS that takes place in Amami City, where "technology and otherworldly forces meet in a macabre fusion of cyberpunk and gothic horror," according to the publisher. All of the Shin Megami Tensei games are a bit "out there" in the story department, and Soul Hacker is no different. Here's a snippet from Atlus describing the game's storyline.
"The city is permeated by Paradigm X, a virtual reality world that connect the entire populace. When the main character attempts to hack his way into Paradigm X, he accidentally comes into possession of a Gun-type COMP that allows him to communicate with and control demons. It also causes the main character's girlfriend to get possessed by the demon Nemissa, which is when the secret Phantom society organization begins to take notice…"
See? Bananas, I tell you. But we wouldn't have it any other way. As was announced in January, all early buyers of the physical game disc will receive a special six-song soundtrack free of charge. Last week we also announced that Soul Hackers will be available as a digital download for the 3DS, which means you can also just download the game starting today from the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Either way, it'll set you back $39.99.

Cellfina® Cellulite Treatment
Our patients from San Jose and Palo Alto, CA, often inquire about treatments for cellulite, perhaps because this dimply condition plagues so many individuals regardless of weight or fitness level. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Daryl K. Hoffman and his staff offer numerous treatment options, the newest of which is Cellfina. This minimally invasive treatment uses a micro-blade to release the fibrous bands that cause cellulite, resulting in smoother skin with significantly fewer dimples. Results last up to 3 years after a treatment session.1
To see if Cellfina is right for you, please request your consultationrequest your consultation with Dr. Hoffman online or give us a call at (650) 325-1118 (Palo Alto) or (408) 371-1118 (Campbell).

How Cellfina Works
Fibrous bands of connective tissue just under the skin are responsible for the formation of cellulite. When these bands begin to pull on the skin unevenly, the dimples we know as cellulite develop. Cellfina uses a very small microblade to gently and selectively release bands of connective tissue. Your body then re-absorbs that tissue, creating a smoother skin surface.
Because the procedure is minimally invasive, the treated areas heal quickly, smoothing out in as little as 3 days. A similar treatment called Cellulaze™ takes the same approach, but uses a laser to release the bands.
Good Candidates for Cellfina
Because cellulite is nearly universal as we age, the majority of men and women make great candidates for Cellfina treatments. Cellfina is approved by the FDA for use in the thighs and buttocks, where cellulite most commonly develops.
Patients should be in good physical health and at or near their goal weight. While fluctuations in weight do not cause cellulite, its appearance can be exaggerated in a person with significant excess fat. Because of this, patients close to their goal weight will get the best outcomes.
Your Cellfina Cellulite Treatment
From start to finish, a Cellfina treatment session lasts approximately 1 hour. Dr. Hoffman begins with a local anesthetic for the treatment areas. Once it has taken effect, Dr. Hoffman uses the Cellfina handpiece to isolate the treatment areas by applying gentle suction to the skin.
He then uses the Cellfina microblade to release fibrous bands underneath the skin. Because the blade is extremely small, bleeding is minimal, and you will not require any sutures.
Your Recovery & Results
Patients can expect a rapid recovery, with very little downtime. We advise patients to take it easy for 24 hours if possible, but it's perfectly safe to resume daily activities immediately after a session.
After a session, it's normal to experience some soreness, tenderness, or bruising — but these recede quickly. In its FDA-cleared pivotal study,2 Cellfina reports that patients rated their pain as "minimal" after 3 days (i.e., a 2.7 average on a scale of 0 to 10), and 82% of respondents said that the only pain they felt was when touching or applying pressure to the treated areas. Of those same patients, 90% reported no residual bruising after 4 weeks.
Results should be noticeable after 3 days — and may last up to 3 years.1
How many Cellfina treatments will I need?
In the vast majority of cases, Dr. Hoffman can achieve the desired results in a single treatment session. During your initial consultation, Dr. Hoffman will confirm the number of treatments that you will need.
How much does Cellfina cost?
Due to variations in the degree of cellulite present and the size of the desired treatment areas, it's difficult to quote a uniform price for Cellfina treatment. We will provide you with a price after Dr. Hoffman has had a chance to examine you at your consultation.

Survey of
Historic Sites and Buildings
John Witherspoon made this his home from 1779 until his death in 1794. In 1773, while serving as president of the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University), he acquired some farmland near Princeton and built Tusculum. For several years he leased out the house and farm, but in 1779 he moved from the President's House to Tusculum.
The two-story Georgian structure of fieldstone with gabled roof and two pairs of end chimneys originally had only one extension, a lower, two-story, stone and frame wing attached to the west end of the house along its main axis. First-story windows of both sections have exterior paneled shutters; second-story windows, louvered shutters. In later years, two additional wings, both of frame and two stories in height, were added to the east and west ends of the structure. Designed in the same style as the rest of the house, they do not seriously alter the original appearance of the front elevation.
The stairway is located in an ell at the rear portion of the center hall along the east wall. To the east of the hall lie the living room and study; to the west, a large dining room, which occupies the entire west half of the main house. Four bedrooms are upstairs. The finish in two of them date from about 1825. The original service wing, on the west side, contains a kitchen on the first floor and two bedrooms on the second.
Tusculum has never undergone any major alterations and it is in excellent condition. In 1924 the present owner acquired it. Under his supervision, a Philadelphia firm restored it to its 18th-century appearance. The major changes were the removal of 19th-century porches at the front, or south, and elimination of a partition wall in the dining room. The structure continues to serve as a private residence and is not shown to visitors.

WordPress Goldmine Review
I have to say that with my hand held on my heart, WordPress Goldmine has been THE catalyst for me making CONSISTENT earnings every single day, 7 days a week, online, passively from the comfort of my own home.
This is my own personal real-life wordpress goldmine review.
If you've taken any semblence of time to look around my site, you should hopefully see that I am a very normal guy who could talk on and on every single day about running your own business, making money for yourself, the freedom that time freedom gives you as well making all of this happen on the internet. When I think back to pre-October 2009 how my life was, it could not have been any different to how it is right now. WordPress Goldmine made this happen.
Why WordPress Goldmine?
It could have been anything else if I am honest, although I've no idea if I would have stuck at it, and succeeded with anything else. I really believe this is all down to the community of members at WordPress Goldmine, and this is why I decided to write this WordPress Goldmine review. I am someone who is an active member with more than 2000 forum posts and someone who is actually making money every single day now. For the first time in my life, something actually works.
I truly believe that WordPress Goldmine is VITAL. I know this sounds so much like sales patter, and yes it is, yes Id like you to join through my link… BUT every single year, Google decide to update their algorithm, and every year, thousands of internet marketers lose most of their money. Inside WordPress Goldmine there are hundreds of active people who visit daily, test and tweak things, and often they find how to get sites ranking again within a few weeks.
Not only that, the community feel at WordPress Goldmine is brilliant. If you struggle with anything along the way and you most certainly WILL DO, within a few hours or even minutes, someone will have pasted a reply showing you how to get over it.. and this is what made it all work for me I truly believe.
At the time of writing this, I am not the fastest at WordPress Goldmine, but I think this is because I am easily distracted by shiny things and business ideas that come into my head. I am doing in the region of $20 or more a day.. completely passively, just from Adsense. It took me 16 months to start earning daily, but once I knew and understood, things started slotting into place. Visit WordPress Goldmine to find out for yourself. Overall I now average over $1000 a month (August 2011) but even this will keep going up as long as I don't give up on internet marketing. Right now it feels like a career for life.
Nowadays, things happen very quickly, and I expect to see sharper rises in earnings quicker than ever before. I am currently re-editing all of the content on my 40+ websites so that they follow the current thinking behind what we need to do, SEO-wise, in order to make our sites rank. If I hand't joined WordPress Goldmine I'd still be sat in the shower feeling sorry for myself before a night shift at my former employer…
In the past I've dabbled with get rich quick schemes, built membership sites and lost money. I got out of that industry over a year ago and joined wordpress goldmine 5 months ago. I absolutely love it with all my heart.
So, you want to see proof right?
Well the easiest thing you can do is take up the wordpress goldmine one dollar trial for yourself and see what it means to you.
For me, it has meant that I now make money every single day. I have opened up an adsense account and find that for each page I build, my content now ranks on page 1 of Google within a few days to 2 weeks. WordPress Goldmine enabled me to achieve this.
The thing I love most about WordPress Goldmine is the forum. I really have NOT seen a forum anywhere near as active as the one at WordPress Goldmine. Truly whenever you get a problem you want to understand you just post in the forum and within minutes usually your answer is there. For the cost of a $1 trial it's got to be worth seeing what this can mean to your 2011 and 2012 plans.
Taking other people who are succeeding in wpgm, I can count several people now (take George for instance) who are actively hitting 4 figure earnings each month (all thanks to their WordPress Goldmine membership!) and then posting earnings updates every month as well. So if you want to be pretty much "coached" all the way then I emplore you to commit for 6 months, at the least try it for one month and see for yourself, even if you don't go through my WordPress Goldmine link, it's worth doing for you anyway.
There is also another member, a lady called Heather who came to wordpress goldmine with an open mind. She has just recently posted she had her first $100 day! I can also count many more who are all achieving success. And if Google change their algorithm again, we all go through it together and share ideas. It's quite a surreal experience, I guess a little bit like a family! Why not see if WordPress Goldmine is the right fit for you.
WordPress Goldmine ismore than 2 years old now, and is owned by Mark Thompson, a seasoned veteran who has now been working from home for 5+ years making blogs and living the internet lifestyle.
Now if you realise a good thing come along and join me and say hello to me and I will be only too pleased to help you out in any way I can.
The best thing is that the information in wordpress goldmine constantly evolves to give the most up to date techniques for this step by system.
I sincerely hope to see you in there, I hope you are enjoying my WordPress Goldmine review. Why not come and join me.
So, what's it like when you get inside the WPGM forum?
First of all you will have to register for your WordPress Goldmine trial.
Once inside you'll see the forum, and this is essentially where everyone shares their daily life. It really is like going round to a friends' house, or to your local Bar, and talking among friends about what you love the most – making money online. This is quite a refuge for people who find it hard to talk with their partners, when all they want to talk about is something else in life, such as a TV program, or what their friends were wearing.
Secondly, you'll see the forum.
Take the time to look around as you'll find advice, video step by steps by Mark, and the top is the link to the downloads where you can download useful files, plus Marks ebook. You may or not get the "a-haa" moment right away, but you should very quickly realise that actually in here are a group of really nice people who don't flame one another, call others, belittle one another are anything else like you'd see on other forums. The community feel at WordPress Goldmine is there to be experienced.
Once inside you can go ahead and introduce yourself to the rest of the WordPress Goldmine community by posting in the introductions section, or you are free to read up on the thousands of threads and posts.
I can guarantee that within WordPress Goldmine you will most certainly have access to the most up to date methods for producing SEO based content that gets ranked on the first page of Google. Take the WordPress Goldmine trial right now.
Here is a snapshot of the forum home page:
Hopefully from the above image you can see the sort of stuff we all talk about – maybe these are your type of people. I can say that when I joined WordPress Goldmine, I wasn't aware of it's true value. I joined because I'd known mark for 5 years when he wrote some content for me for an online magazine I was writing back then (which flopped). After a few failed businesses I was feeling REALLY REALLY LOW. I got an email from Mark out of the Blue (coincidence?) and found out he'd kept at SEO and now earned a very healthy 5 figure a month income. I decided that at this point I would commit to WordPress Goldmine for 6 months no matter what.
I closed down all of my dozen or so websites, said adios to the members and focused entirely on this. Well that was my aim anyway. As I'm easily distracted (it even says this in my school report from 20 years ago!!) it took me 14 months before things clicked. Others came in after me and it clicked for them within weeks, but through the determination to succeed, and through CONSTANTLY reading how others were doing inside WordPress Goldmine, I knew I had found my calling in life – to be an internet marketer – that actually feels really good to say that now, and I am darned proud of the fact.
Looking at the picture of the WordPress Goldmine forum (above) you can see that one of the first things is the wpgm family map. This tells you right away what sort of feel this forum has got. We have a group on google maps and you can plot your location in the world, leaving a pin. Go ahead and add yours once you get inside.
We have also successfully held two wpgm meetings. One in Vegas and one in the Uk which I actually organized, planned and got sorted. It's soemthign we will do hopefully every year. We went to a hotel and spent 2 days together, learning all about SEO, taught by Mark in the day, and by mingling outside the meeting… superb stuff. Just one of the many many benefits of WordPress Goldmine membership.
We also have a section within the WordPress Goldmine forum where folks can submit their services, offers and look for help. This is yet another major benefit, and the reason why I wrote this WordPress Goldmine review. If you are good at writing, or banner making then you can also make some money to help pay for your education.
WordPress Goldmine really is the only membership you need if you want to learn how to make money online, build a growing business and make lots of really genuinely nice people who all have the same common aims in life. It's nice to be part of a community where there are no "idiots" or "trolls" lurking who want to cause grief and mayhem.
Every month someone normally posts in the "success" forum about how their earnings have progressed, and it really does a good job of lifting spirits. This could be you in a short space of time, so come on in and join me at WordPress Goldmine today. It's going to cost you just under $20 a month, or around $230 a year. Now before you shudder… I urge you to think about this.
If you've not yet made money online, or make money but then keep losing it then this is for you. If you are brand new to internet marketing then WordPress Goldmine is perfect for people with no experience – me included!
If you think you know a lot already and are hitting a plateau in your endeavors then come on in and lets work out your issues together – as a family. Feels weird calling everyone a family, but it often feels that way. Meeting 20 or so fellow WordPress Goldmine members in the Uk last year was brilliant fun. We learnt all of mark's latest stuff, and had a fantastic time with food and alcohol (some of us had a little TOO MUCH (George..!).
These kind of people really do feel like my kind of people. What I want to say to you is this. It's NEVER going to be easy… if it was, then everyone in the world would be rich, and there would be no people to do the graft, to plough the fields and farm the crops. The challenges we come across can ALL be fixed when you are a member of WordPress Goldmine.
Join me today at WordPress Goldmine here.
Commit for 2-6 months and see for yourself.
I promise you will not regret it.
Shaun (WordPress Goldmine Fanatic!)

We already suspected that photography can help even the most timid and emotionally withdrawn shelter dogs find homes, and now we have further proof that it works: Roanin, a shy and fearful mutt who was recently rescued by a Florida shelter, was adopted earlier this week, after one woman saw photos of the reclusive dog and quickly inquired about bringing her home. The three-year-old pup, who will now go by Rosie, was featured by Pawsitive Shelter Photography, an organization that aims to bring out the personality in shy dogs and help them get the love and attention they deserve. The photographer, Lauren Eggert, appears to have accomplished her goal with Roanin.
"The last dog that we saw in the shelter that was [as] timid and shut-down [as Roanin] is now sleeping in my bed," Eggert told an Orlando NBC affiliate. "Roanin really is a sweet dog. And she's going to make a wonderful companion for someone who wants to love her."
Thanks to Eggert's photos, we now know that person is Liz Adams, the Vero Beach woman who was so moved by the emotion in Roanin's portrait. Adams brought two of her daughters to visit Roanin at the shelter over the weekend and says she knew immediately that they'd be bringing the lonely pup home. As Roanin cowered and shivered in her cage, Adams knew she was the dog's only hope. "There was no chance she was going to be one of the dogs people who were there this weekend would want to adopt," Adams said -- but she knew otherwise.
Adams and her daughters brought Roanin out to a grassy patch behind the shelter, and suddenly the dog began to open up. Since coming home with the family, Roanin is "already blossoming" and has become friendly with Adams's two other dogs. Adams says her new dog is living up to the potential that had already shined through in Roanin's photographs.

As I mentioned above, when we initially authorised the blueprints to our house we have been just a little clueless. The entry is the first example of one in every of our greatest errors/regrets. We made some alterations to the building plans and swapped the situation of our stairs, which in the end took away an entryway coat closet. That required us to get creative with our furnishings so as to profit from a really small house. We added a slim shoe cupboard in addition to a credenza that our boys use as their college cubbies. The purpose was to maintain everything super easy to access and put away, whereas concealing each day clutter.
Bheemeshwari is a small town that lies between the Shivanasamudra falls and Mekedatu falls, on the Cauvery River in Mandya district of Karnataka.

Mahseer is taken into account as one of many most interesting game fish on the planet. The encircling lush forest cowl is dwelling to many animas like elephants, wild boars, monkeys, jackals, crocodiles, otters and leopards; in addition to a wide range of water birds like herons, ibis, cormorants and kingfisher.

When I started to work as a developer, I remember that my fellow programmers used to hate JavaScript.
I myself was not a real fan of this incredible language.
That's why I decided to study it more deeply.
During my studies, one thing came clear to me:
JavaScript is one of the most powerfull languages I ever seen.
But… There is always a but.
Its API is terrible.
But since JavaScript is a language ready to be extended, we solve this problem using some great tools like jQuery or Undescore.js, that make the JavaScript API be really beautiful.
JavaScript is a really powerfull language, so, we can program in JavaScript using a lot of paradigms.
Let's talk about how to implement your JavaScript code using Object Oriented Programming.
JavaScript and OOP
To understand how to make OOP code using JavaScript, we first need to understand how the variable this works.
If you run this code, the console will log to you an instance of the DOM Window object representing the window of your browser (this will change if you are running this on a Node.js server).
That means that in the global scope this is the Window object.
Okay, so what if we run this code:
function some(){
If you run, you will see that again Window is logged.
That means that the this of a function is the same this from the scope where the function is defined.
So, how can I create an object and make its this referencing it?
Creating a JavaScript Object
var myObj = {
some: function(){console.log(this);}
Now we are getting somewhere, When you run this code, it's an Object that is logged, not a Window Object, just an Object.
If you inspect the logged object, you will se that it has a property called some. This property is a function, the function that we called.
Once we have an object, we can add properties to it:
myObj.coolProperty = "JavaScript rocks";
And also retrieve these properties:
Note that the properties are like keys of a map. You can retrieve them using the [] syntax, so, you can pass the properties as parameters.
var myObj = {
func1: function(){console.log("Called 1″)},
func2: function(){console.log("Called 2″)}
This will prompt "Called 2″.
Creating constructors
There is another way to create an object:
function MyObject(){
this.some = function(){console.log(this);};
myObj = new MyObject();
We just created a constructor. If you run this code, you will se now MyObject at the console.
Since we created this object using the function new, this was redefined from Window to MyObject.
Thats why when we make this.some = function(){console.log(this);}; inside the function MyObject the function is defined inside our MyObject instance.
So what happens if we run this code:
function MyObject(){
this.some = function(){console.log(this);};
myObj = MyObject();
Now, we don't used new when we invoked MyObject function. That means that inside the function this remains to be Window.
Wich means
log undefined. We don't return anything from MyObject function, so myObj is undefined.
And that's why we can invoke some at the global scope and it log Window.
So its very important to remember that you have to use new when you are creating an Object from a Constructor.
Creating Public Methods
All right, now we know how to create objects and even how to create this objects from constructors.
But how can we add methods to a Object definition.
Let's see two ways.
- Using properties:
function MyObject(){
this.method = function(){console.log("I'm a public method");};
new MyObject().method();
var myObject = {
method: function(){console.log("I'm a public method");}
In both examples we defined a property in an object that is a function. So we can use this function like a method.
- Using prototype
function MyObject(){};
MyObject.prototype.method = function(){console.log("I'm a public method");};
new MyObject().method();
We just created a construtor for MyObject, after that, we defined in the prototype of our constructor an attribute that is a function.
Every attribute defined in the prototype of an object, is automatically, accessible by the instances of that object.
Using Inheritance
We can use prototype to define Inheritance.
function Animal(){};
Animal.prototype.eat = function(){console.log("eating…");};
function Dog(){};
Dog.prototype = Animal.prototype;
new Dog().eat();
Setting the prototype of the Constructor of a Dog as the prototype of Animal makes that our Dogs to have the method eat.
Defining private members
Well, you may also want to create properties and methods that are not public. This is really easy.
Every variable in JavaScript has function scope
function a(){
var b = 1;
This code will log 1 and then will log undefined. That's why when we use the word var we are saying that the variable b exists only inside the function a.
Since our objects are functions, we can use the same idea:
function MyObject(){
var privateMethod = function(){console.log("I'm private");};
this.publicMethod = function(){console.log(privateMethod());};
new MyObject().publicMethod();
console.log(new MyObject().privateMethod).
This code will log I'm private and them undefined. And thats was what we expect.
First we call the public method. It has access to our private method inside the Object instance so it con log our message.
But, outside the constructor function, the variable privateMethod dos not exists, so our code log undefined.
You can have a lot of fun with JavaScript. So enjoy and play a lot
I just introduced the concept of OOP here, there is a lot to talk about this.
You can see some great JavaScript samples here.
That's all. See you!

As a service to our members, the BC Choral Federation puts on a number of exciting and informative choral events every year.
Chorfest is our flagship event held each May to coincide with our AGM. Highlighting interesting and challenging works, the weekend event is suitable for amateur and community-based choral singers.
The next Chorfest will be held in Victoria, over the May long weekend, 2017 with an all-Canadian program to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday.
Occuring on the same weekend as Chorfest, the BC Youth Choir is BC's premier youth choral experience. This is an auditioned choir of youths aged 18-25 from around the province, which performs at Chorfest as part of the gala concert.
The Choral Directorship Course is another unique offering by the BCCF. The course is aimed at conductors who want to hone their skills, interact with their peers, or simply refresh the basics. It is held over a week in Vancouver mid August. Next year's CDC is open to conductors and singers working with choirs of all voicing - whether in school, church or community.
Choral Stage is our children's camp held each summer in Vancouver. It provides a stage for kids to immerse themselves in exciting musical activities (theatre games, vocal skills, musicianship and ear training) culminating in semi-staged choral concerts.
Rounding out our regular offerings is Seniors Chorfest. Held, on average, every two years, the Seniors' Chorfest offers a weekend of favourite tunes and choral activities. The next Seniors' Chorfest will be in White Rock in April 2017
Our workshops offer a changing blend of vocal health, choral management, and repertoire-based experiences. Held throughout the province, we're always open to finding a clinician to suit your community's needs. Get in touch with your Regional Director to set up a workshop in your area.

CFP® – Advisor/President
As advisors, I feel it is important to remember every day why we do what we do. My passion to work with individuals and families is deeply rooted in my own life experiences. I lost my mother to a decade long battle with cancer in the Spring of 2008 when she was only 52 years old. It was at that point I truly began to realize the importance of planning for your future and protecting your loved ones. Today that loss serves as a source of motivation for me as I work with others.
I sincerely enjoy teaching and helping others understand their financial world by explaining it in terms they understand. By working together, we can help take away the stress associated with investing and finances by implementing a plan that is measurable, achievable, and laid out in a logical order – a plan that allows you to sleep well at night. By taking these worries away, you can focus on the things in your life that are truly important.
Born and raised in Freeport, IL, I'm a proud graduate of Western Illinois University's school of Business and earned a Bachelor's degree in Marketing and Master's in Sports Business. I've continued to expand my education and expertise since entering the industry, obtaining my CFP license in 2015. Also, I am a proud recipient of my industry's "4 under 40" award for the state of Wisconsin, given by NAIFA in the Spring of 2016*.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, exercising and running, and trying to catch as many sporting events and concerts as I can all across the Midwest! My wife Lauren and I live in Madison with our two daughters Alyssa, and Hannah, as well as 'Addy' our loveable Jack Russell Terrier.
UPDATE: In September 2017, Matt was also named the a recipient of another accolade, this time Advisor Today magazine's "Four Under Forty Award," given annually to only four outstanding advisors across the entire United States who achieve excellence in their profession by or before the age of 40.**
CPFA, NSSA® – Advisor/Vice-President/Chief Investment Officer
I was raised in Darlington, the son of nurse and carpenter. I learned at an early age the value of hard work and putting others first. I spent several years working in ambulances and emergency rooms as well as on a shock trauma team for the US Army. Following completion of my Business degree, I worked in the insurance industry prior to joining Midwest Financial Group.
I have always prided myself on putting the needs and goals of the patients and clients that I have worked with first. Flexibility and recognition of your needs allow me to ensure that I put your interests first, and will allow our interactions to take place on your terms. We have gone through a time in this country that has made people aware of the need to plan for the future, while still taking care of the needs of today. Together we will build a plan that helps to take care of your todays and prepares for your tomorrows.
My free time is spent split between serving as the Director of EMS for the Belmont Ambulance Service, Training Officer of the Belmont Fire Department, and with my family. My wife Shelly and I are blessed with three girls, Julia, Brynn, and Saige, who keep us on our toes at all times.

Local Insurance Specialist – Life | Health, Medicare | Long-Term Care | Disability
My name is April Wahl, and I'm originally from the north coast redwood forest of California. My adventures in life started with my younger sister and my single military mom. I considered us lucky because the military would send us to live in really fun places like Guam! Although I missed my friends each time we moved someplace new, I always looked forward to the interesting people that I would meet and the new adventures that life would soon present. In 1998, I graduated from Humboldt State University CA with a degree in business finance and management and then headed out to the great Midwest for my next adventure. I landed in Madison, WI that summer and the city captured my heart… I was here to stay!
Along my life's journey, my mother ended up with a debilitating health diagnosis and on permanent disability. This set me on a path to realizing that our health is a valuable and precious commodity. Without her good health, my mom had lost her ability to earn an income for our family and thrive in life. I became very passionate about health and well-being in all areas … Body, mind, and spirit.
Today, I get to apply my educational background and my passion for health and well-being towards serving others. My insurance sales career started in the world of health insurance and options for Medicare policies. I have always found it exciting to meet with clients who are starting their adventures in retirement. I enjoy the process of aligning my client's values and goals with the right plan that will meet their needs and give them more security and peace of mind. The advent of the Affordable Care Act gave me the opportunity to serve even more. I enjoy helping clients in this arena find individual healthcare that meets their needs, so that they may enjoy more freedom in other aspects of their lives.
In addition, I can offer other insurance products customized for your specific concerns. These offerings include products such as life, disability, long-term care, and more.
With a secure insurance plan in place, one can enjoy more freedom and peace of mind. My wish for you is that you have a foundation secure enough to give you the freedom to really prosper.
In my spare time, I enjoy the simple things in life such as being a Big Sister volunteer, hiking, cooking, reading, yoga, meditation, live music, providing a warm lap for my cats, and coffee with friends. And, I still have the wanderlust and passion for traveling to explore new destinations!
Benefits Specialist
I grew up in Carroll, Iowa, I have heard all the jokes about Iowa :). I graduated with honors from Loras College in Dubuque where I participated in football and was very active in theatre along with coaching three sports at a local junior high.
I have spent the last 22 years working in the Employee Benefits field. After the first four years working for a third party administrator for self-funded clients in Dubuque, I moved to Madison in 1999 to work in sales for a local HMO. Since 2001, I have been working as an employee benefit specialist in the Madison area. My clients will tell you that my passion for helping them is what separates me from other benefit agents. I love my job and that is reflected in the energy I bring. I believe I fight harder for every dollar of my clients' money than anyone else.
I have been to over 35 seminars on Healthcare Reform so I am able to help employers and individuals navigate the variety of options. The choices have become increasing confusing and seem to change every week. We work very hard to stay on top of the changes and proactively educate clients.
My clients range from 2 employees to over 100. I have worked with clients over 1,000 employees but find that many employers with less than 50 employees are often not provided the appropriate attention they deserve by the "big" agencies. I believe they deserve the same education and attention that employers over 50 get, so the 2-50 employee companies have become a focus for me. My clients also have the availability to some awesome Human Resource tools and live help that many smaller businesses do not currently get from their agent, but find extremely valuable.
I also have helped over 250 people secure individual health insurance since Healthcare Reform took place, and can work with individuals in or out of the Exchange marketplace.
In my spare time, I enjoy all sorts of sports (both watching and playing). I also run regularly and have completed four runs of 20 miles or longer. I have been around theatre all my life and have acted in over 20 shows. And, never met a karaoke machine I didn't like!
Secretary/Business Manager
I'm Jackie Frazee, Business Manager for Midwest Financial Group. I have worked for more than a decade in the financial services industry in customer relations. I was raised in a suburb of Chicago and graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison with a degree in psychology and a focus in accounting and business.
Having always worked in the customer service fields, my passion for client satisfaction and hard work has thrived. I continued to expand my knowledge of the financial industry and obtained my securities and insurance securities and insurance registrations. It's became incredibly important to me to work with a client and family focused company. I was fortunate to come into the Midwest Financial family where I can share my passion for client service and learn some best practices of advisors. Having the opportunity to work each day to bring smiles to our clients' faces while working closely with our advisors to help properly plan and protect our clients and their families' financial future is wonderful. It is important to me to personalize the planning process and develop long lasting relationships for total wealth management.
I was blessed to be able to travel quite a bit through my teen years across the country and abroad. One of the most inspirational trips I took was to Ireland where I was able to spend time with relatives and learn about country's and my family's history. My free time now is spent with my husband, family, and friends. We enjoy cheering for the Wisconsin Badgers, cooking, and volunteering in our community. I look forward to working with you and your family!!
Office Manager
I'm Ryan Lee, the Office Manager at Midwest Financial group in Madison. Having worked in customer service for over twelve years and human resources for four, I can truly say that I love working with and understand what's necessary to help people. I enjoy bringing this experience and applying it to my position at Midwest Financial Group where I can continue to challenge myself and grow within the organization.
My free time is spent with my wife – Heather, our daughters – Olivia and Adilynn, and our cocker spaniel Leighla.
Registered Financial Assistant
I'm Kathy Thomas, Registered Financial Assistant for Midwest Financial Group in Madison. I have worked in the financial investment services field for 9 years. I grew up in Marlton, New Jersey, just outside of Philadelphia, PA. I graduated from Kean University in Union, New Jersey and received my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science with an emphasis in business.
I enjoy working with clients and customer service is one of the most important aspects for me when helping clients. Client satisfaction and building close relationships is my ultimate goal. I also believe in a team approach for achieving clients' financial goals. To further my financial education I attained both my securities registrations and my insurance license.
I enjoy spending time with my husband – Glenn, and our 3 children – Devon, Kyle and Connor and our rescue dog, Peanut. We like traveling to different states each year for new adventures. We especially like to travel out east to visit extended family. We often visit the shores of Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Long Beach Island, New Jersey to soak up the sun and sand while basking in the beautiful sunsets.
