(MRN) Denny Hamlin's Joe Gibbs Racing team made a late pit stop for four fresh tires that paid big dividends Saturday as Hamlin charged past Joey Logano after an overtime restart to claim victory at Charlotte Motor Speedway. While Hamlin's Number-18 Toyota got new rubber, Logano and Kyle Larson declined to pit on the day's final caution, choosing to maintain track position at the front of the field. Once the green flag flew for the last time, Hamlin quickly advanced from sixth place to claim his fifteenth career win. The margin of victory was twenty-nine one-hundredths of a second over Austin Dillon. Logano held on for third place, giving Sprint Cup regulars the top three finishing positions. Cole Custer and Justin Allgaier completed the top five with Larson finishing sixth on worn tires. Hamlin led a race-high seventy-six laps in what was his first series start of the season. Rookie pole sitter Erik Jones led fourteen laps early in the race but hit the wall late, which led to the caution that gave Hamlin his opportunity to visit pit road for four fresh tires. Jones finished thirty-first in the forty-car field … With Hamlin's victory, Sprint Cup Series regulars have now won eight of the year's first eleven X-FINITY Series races.

The Movie Of Your Life Is A Cult Classic
Quirky, offbeat, and even a little campy – your life appeals to a select few.
But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky.
Your best movie matches: Office Space, Showgirls, The Big Lebowski
Monthly Archives: July 2008
In which I roll my skeleton pirates in phone book pages and put them in a cardboard box.
Wow, a day off! Well, okay, so I only work four days a week – every laborless day is precious to me. Unfortunately I can't waste it yielding a katana blade on Wii or by pissing away my cash on Spears-related Ebay auctions today (which I've taken a serious break from in fear of my "collection" resembling more of a "shrine"); we're MOVING!
I had sat down with an adviser who kept insisting that my demands (entry level, pet building, two bedroom by September) would unlikely be met and he kept insisting, "it all depends on how much you're willing to pay". These words discouraged and raised red flags so I reported discrimination the next day after a female adviser flipped her book open and said, "Everything you want is available right now".
Someone from corporate called soon after and apologized for the way I was treated. We got to break our current lease with no penalty for an early move-in date, pet deposits waived, and I was informed that the troubling advisor would not be employed with them after that week's end. Sweet!
I like my current apartment but it has some flaws, 99% of them to be corrected with our trek across the community into one of the larger units. Brad will have his own room for the oversized musical equipment and I will gain triple the closet space. Not only that but the location of the building is way in the back on the farthest corner as opposed to our current state of being "the leasing office's front yard", as I call it (imagine having a locker right next to the teacher's lounge).
I kept a poker face during our walkthrough when I spotted a bunch of upgrades in our new place. There is a newer chandelier, tile backsplash in the kitchen, an updated vanity in the bathroom and some other little perks to be excited about. We're painting accent walls, too. So YAY! I am all about this transition.
I like knowing where I'm going.
Brad got some more early birthday gifts in hopes of inspiring him to move those damn heavy boxes: a black, glass tv stand for his flatscreen and a video gaming chair! It's one of those that sits on the floor and has the speakers built in and crap; I'm sure he'll love it… and I'll love having the top of my entertainment center back as the mantel it's intended to be.
In other news, I was voted Associate Of the Quarter! Not so much feeling honored by The Man (I kinda scoff at paper certificates, pins and other nonsense intended to make the underpaid work harder) but the support of my peers feels awesome (it was mainly the young slice of employees who made this happen) and it's perfect timing for my September review. Oh, and I got $100 which I already blew on furniture for the new place. How cool is that?!
"How cool is that?! So I went to your room and read your diar-ree-heee…"

Details of an Aug. 16 meeting between Mr. Préval and members of Haiti's election commission (CEP) has observers questioning whether the CEP rejected candidates based on politics instead of the Constitution.The Monitor continues, noting that some allege President Préval personally removed some candidates from the final list, including former U.S. ambassador and Jean's uncle, Raymond Joseph.
Although the election process has received considerable media coverage, most of it has simply focused on the candidacy of Wyclef Jean and not the larger issues relating to the CEP. As we have written numerous times before, and as described in an open letter from over 20 Haiti and U.S.-based NGO's to Secretary Clinton this week, the CEP has suffered from a lack of legitimacy well before the current electoral season because of their arbitrary exclusion of Haiti's most popular party, Fanmi Lavalas, as well as numerous other political parties from last years planned legislative elections. To the Monitor's credit however, they also report on the exclusion of the political parties, writing:
The CEP excluded 14 political parties from parliamentary elections and seven political parties from presidential elections, including Fanmi Lavalas, the popular party of former President Jean Bertrand Aristide. Reasons given for its exclusion do not "pass the smell test under Haitian law," says Mr. Concannon at IJDH.
The CEP previously banned leftist party Fanmi Lavalas from senatorial elections in 2009, despite appeals from the United Nations and the Organization of American States (OAS) for the CEP to reverse its decision. Fanmi Lavalas has won with wide margins in every election in which it participated, a recent IJDH report pointed out, including 90 percent of seats in 2000 parliamentary elections.
Fanmi Lavalas has been joined by Alternative, UCADD, Rasemble, and Liberation in calling for a boycott of the November election. The latter four parties and were permitted to present candidates but backed out amid growing uncertainty over the CEP's ability to hold fair elections. Yet despite all of this, the international community (other than a report from the Republican Senator Richard Lugar) has not raised its voice calling for free and fair elections. As the Monitor reports:
But overall the international community, which is providing most of the election's $29 million price tag, appears reluctant to interfere with the election process and slow down what it perceives as Haiti's urgent need for a new government.While the election is an important step in the reconstruction process, what is more important than simply having a new government is having a legitimate government. Writing in the Miami Herald last week attorney Ira Kurzban, who was the general counsel in the US for Haiti during the Aristide and first Preval administrations, makes exactly this point:
These political maneuvers are not lost on Haiti's people. While the mainstream media in the United States focuses on whether Wyclef Jean may run for president or what Sean Penn thinks of Jean's candidacy, the Haitian people refuse to play the fool. Indeed, they know the presidential election that will be imposed on them has nothing to do with democracy.For more on the political history surrounding former president Aristide and the exclusion of the Fanmi Lavalas party, see Johann Hari's article in today's Independent.
They will, as they did in 2005, only support a presidential candidate who will bring Aristide and Famni Lavalas back to the Haitian electoral system. With Famni Lavalas out of the race, the election will have extremely low turnout, which international ``authorities'' will predictably say is ``the best one can expect'' given the earthquake.
The result is a faux election that will have lasting consequences for Haiti and the international community.
It will undermine the stated goal of the United States and its allies to achieve ``stability'' in Haiti, and it will undermine the legitimacy and sustainability of a central Haitian government that is not elected by, but for, the people.
Fair, inclusive elections -- that include the participation of Famni Lavalas and other legitimate political parties and respect for the right of all exiles to return, including Aristide -- are essential for establishing a Haitian government with the legitimacy and capacity to effectively manage the country's reconstruction. Settling for elections that are less than fair and inclusive might seem expedient in the short term, but in the mid- and long-term accepting flawed elections will ensure civil strife and political controversy. It will imperil international community investments in Haiti while leaving the country vulnerable to the next natural, economic or political disaster.

The Tropical Islands Resort is open all 12 months round – including public holidays! There are six main kinds of islands: continental (1), tidal (2), barrier (3), oceanic (four), coral (5), and synthetic (6). The overwhelming majority are volcanic in origin, akin to Saint Helena within the South Atlantic Ocean 8 The few oceanic islands that are not volcanic are tectonic in origin and come up where plate movements have lifted up the ocean ground above the surface. On a few of these island preserves, such because the Galapagos Islands, scientists conduct research to study extra about wildlife and how to defend the animals from further hurt. Still different barrier islands were formed of supplies deposited by Ice Age glaciers.
The kinds of organisms that stay on and around an island depend upon how that island was formed and where it is located. The fictional Amity Island off the American East Coast is menaced by a fantastic white shark in Peter Benchleys Jaws. Because crops and animals dwelling on islands are isolated, they often change to adapt to their environment.
The historic Greek author Plato wrote in regards to the lost island continent of Atlantis in his books Timeaus and Critias. Instead of attacking Japan instantly, Allied powers (led by the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union) chose a method of island hopping" Allied forces hopped" from one small Pacific island to the subsequent, establishing military base s and air control. Like stepping stones, islands have helped folks migrate over huge expanses of ocean from one continent to another. Dubai's big synthetic islands are formed like palm timber and a map of the world.
Still different plant seeds may be transported to islands by birds—dust stuck on their toes or feathers, or launched of their droppings. Process where an organism, remoted in a small area (usually an island), evolves to be a lot smaller than related species on the mainland. The island nation of Maldives is especially threatened by sea degree rise , for instance.
Some of their voyages have been most likely accidental, and occurred when storms blew canoes touring to close by islands astray. A change within the water high quality, coral reef ecosystems, or pristine seashores would devastate the livelihood of islanders. Examples are Saint Peter and Paul Rocks in the Atlantic Ocean and Macquarie Island in the Pacific. As glaciers melted, the sea degree rose around coastal sand dune s, creating low-lying, sandy islands.

Rotork Acquires Bifold Group to Increase Global Presence
Bifold is a designer and manufacturer of hydraulic and pneumatic stainless-steel directional control valves and accessories for hazardous, corrosive and subsea environments.
Bifold is a designer and manufacturer of hydraulic and pneumatic stainless-steel directional control valves and accessories for hazardous, corrosive and subsea environments.
One can learn a lot about how well nonlinear control valves will perform in a particular system by examining their installed gain.
Often when commissioning or troubleshooting automatic control valves, there's a discovery that the valve, even though fully closed, doesn't fully shut off process flow.
When selecting a control valve for a process, there are many things that must be considered. Of particular importance is the valve's flow characteristic.
The convergence of two events results in an alternate approach to solving a process problem, i.e., installing a Coriolis flowmeter.
Metso has expanded its global valve operations with the opening of its new Neles Globe Valve Technology Center in South Korea.
Effective planning can save time and curtail expenses associated with the testing, repair, and replacement of control valves within the plant's total value population.
Brought to you by Spirax Sarco
Local pressure inside the control valve may fall below the vapor pressure and create bubbles that may not condense when pressure is recovered downstream of the control valve.
My initial gut reaction is that whoever designed the piping had little or no instrumentation background. Further, all of the instrumentation work performed in conjunction with the installation is suspect.
The discussions revolving around the scarcity of fossil fuels and increasing energy prices have refocused on the most effective action in the long term, i.e., reducing energy consumption. The right process automation technology can contribute to achieving considerable energy savings.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have wed in Florence, Italy.
The couple flew in separately from Paris, France, where they partied with family and friends on Friday night.
Reports suggest the newlyweds had planned to exchange vows at the Chateau de Versailles, but French law stood in their way as neither bride nor groom resides in the country.
Instead, they toured the grounds of the historic palace on Friday afternoon, before flying back to their base in Paris to host a pre-wedding cocktail party with a performance from Kardashian's favorite singer Lana Del Rey.
West was the first to arrive in Florence for the nuptials on Saturday morning. His bride and several guests touched down hours later.
The big event at the medieval Forte di Belvedere began just before 5pm local time, when guests, including John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen and 12 Years a Slave director Steve McQueen, started arriving as Andrea Bocelli's Time to Say Goodbye blasted out from loud speakers.
Reports suggest the wedding party wasn't the only thing to arrive from Paris – the wedding's flowers made the trip too, with roses flown in from Belgium as well.
Meanwhile, bosses at Adidas chose the wedding day to launch their new 2014 World Cup soccer ad, which features music by Kanye West.
The new commercial for The Dream: All In or Nothing features the rapper repeating the words God Level over footage of soccer superstars like Lionel Messi and Dani Alves.

Head of the Department: Ph.D. IRINA PETROVNA MUKHAMEDOVA.
FUNDAMENTAL DISCIPLINES DEPARTMENT is the principal unit of the ISM. It was organized on the basis of the order of the ISM No. 15 dated September 11, 2006. Like other departments, the department is responsible for the specialization of students, being an educational and research division. The main function of the department is to ensure the implementation of the training program and its substantially informative content. The substantially informative content of the training program is determined by the disciplines included in the department. The following disciplines are fixed as being the competence of the Department: Biochemistry, Normal physiology, Pharmacology. All disciplines of the department are basic for students of the higher medical school.
The establishment of a diagnosis of the disease and the administration of an adequate treatment include a number of mental operations, beginning with the selection of symptoms from many thousands of diagnostic signs known to modern medicine. Selected symptoms form a clinical picture, which serves as the basis for them to make conclusions about the nature of the disease and, finally, establish diagnosis that's used as a reference point for determining the methods of treatment. The nature of the disease, as well as the targets and mechanisms of therapeutic actions are described in terms and concepts of normal physiology, biochemistry and pharmacology. It should be noted that for clinicians it is the integral knowledge of these disciplines that is important: only together they provide a description and understanding of the nature of diseases, the normal states of the organism and the action of therapeutic measures.
Brief content of disciplines
Chemical nature of substances, chemical phenomena, and active conditions in organism. Clinical biochemistry.
Normal physiology
Functional systems of human organism, their regulation and self-regulation when environmentally affected. Particular organs and systems functioning regularities.
The subject and objectives of pharmacology, its rank among other medical disciplines. Prescriptions. General pharmacology. Pharmakokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medicinal remedies. Classification, mechanism of action, pharmacological effects, indications and contraindications, side-effects of major groups of remedies. Common principles of treatment of medicinal poisoning.

Guns in the voting booth?
Voters in Alabama can head to the polls today, casting a ballot in several statewide, runoff primaries. And though none of the races has generated national attention, there is some interest in what Alabamans can bring with them into the voting booth. Michael Wines reported the other day:
When Jimmy Allen walked into the polling station at the Lakeview Volunteer Fire Department on June 3 to cast his ballot in Alabama's primary election, he had no idea that the .40-caliber Smith & Wesson M&P Pro Series C.O.R.E. pistol strapped to his side – a weapon that fires 15 rounds from a single clip, plus the one already in the chamber – would raise eyebrows.Mr. Allen votes regularly, and no one had given his gun so much as a second glance before. But on this day, a polling official – his Aunt Rita, actually – took issue."She threw her hands in the air and said, 'No guns allowed!' " Mr. Allen recalled last week. "I laughed, because I thought she was being funny."
But Aunt Rita wasn't kidding. As the New York Times' report explained, the Alabama Sheriffs Association had encouraged each of the state's counties to ban unconcealed firearms from polling places, hoping to prevent voters from being frightened at their local voting precinct.
In this case, Jimmy Allen agreed to leave his loaded gun in his car, then returned to vote, and then left.
But as it turns out, that was the start, not the end, of the broader controversy.
Allen later protested the policy, which led local officials to seek an opinion from the state attorney general's office on whether counties can legally bar guns from polling stations. The answer was no: Alabama's open-carry laws list some buildings in which unconcealed firearms are prohibited, but voting precincts aren't on the list.
So, in Alabama, voter-ID is required, unconcealed loaded firearms are optional. Good to know.
As for Allen, a 50-year-old computer technician, he's left his job to hit the campaign trail – he's now running for county sheriff as a Republican, with the backing of a gun-rights group called BamaCarry.

When I got out of the shower yesterday and dressed, I did what I normally do: I checked my phone in case I had missed a call or a text. Now, normally if I do miss such things they are from my sister while she is out walking the dog or she is sending a picture of the dog while out on a walk.
Yesterday, however, I noticed I had a missed call from a local (as in where I used to live local) number as well as a voicemail from that number. Turns out, it was the assistant principal at the middle school I was a paraprofessional at for the last part of the school year. He said how he does have it in his notes that I am going to graduate school in September, but he wasn't sure if things had changed or if I'm taking night classes, because there is a paraprofessional position at the middle school that he would be willing to offer me.
After listening to the message, the fact that I essentially uprooted my life for graduate school really started to hit me. I spent the past three years in Education; during those years, I left an impression in the schools I worked at, so much so that they would be happy to see me returning there again. As that feeling of being uprooted started to rise, I reminded myself why I left my employment situation: to advance. I need graduate school in order to advance my career; with the fields I am interested in, you need at least a Masters degree in order to do so.
More than that, I needed to move on. It was time. Before I made my recent move, my employment situation was starting to feel like less than a possible career path and more of a safety net. A safety net that provided me with a paycheck to pay off my undergraduate student loans, gave some money for retirement, and left some money for other expenses. With graduate school, I will be taking on more loans that I will have to pay back; however, with graduate school, I will also be taking on new employment, satisfying employment.
For my Intro to Grad Study course, the professor has assigned us the following blog post "Working Classes" as part of our first week's reading: http://jsench.wordpress.com/2011/07/28/working-classes/
In the blog post, the author mentions a type of thinking that is persistent among some: the "don't go to grad school" attitude some people have based on the financial cost and overall uncertainty going to graduate school can leave a person and their career. Before I made the commitment to attend grad school, I admit, I had a strain of that "don't go to grad school, will just bury self deeper into debt that might not even be worth it" thinking. I am still saddled with my undergraduate loans and taking on more loans to help fund graduate school just seemed too overwhelming. Plus, the "what ifs?" What if I can't afford to pay back my loans without going destitute? What if I go broke just moving for grad school? What if I can't find a job after grad school and the schools I worked at won't remember me? What if I end up back where I started after I graduated, applying for hundreds of jobs with little success?
As the author of the blog post "Working Classes," states, "I knew exactly what I was getting into. When you grow up in a family of working people you get to know a thing or two about how employers are not the best representatives of your interests." With graduate school, I echo that statement. I know what I'm getting myself into. I know it's going to be overwhelming and a lot of work, not just academically, but also personally and financially. But I also know that it's going to be worth it. The author is right in saying "employers are not the best representatives of your interests." Even when I was working in Education, a field I found highly rewarding on a personal level (not so much on a financial level), there were times when I felt my employers were not the best representatives of my interests. And chances were, I was right. Many employers do not look at individuals; they look at the voids, the needs within their agency, and see how to fill them. If an individual happens to be a solid fit for that need, then that individual is considered for a position.
In going to graduate school, I am taking back my career from the hands of uncertainty, from employers who might try to pigeon-hole me because of my experiences. I am taking control of my career, deciding what position(s) I am not only right for, but that I want. And being in control of your career, well, that's what makes it all worth it.

"I blame my mother for my poor sex life. All she told me was 'the man goes on top and the woman underneath.' For three years my husband and I slept in bunk beds." – Joan Rivers
The fact that your partner is finding ways to satisfy herself is great – even if it sometimes requires a household appliance (what can I say, I've learned that women's pleasure is quite tricky). But always using the same technique when she masturbates can prevent her for climaxing with you, if she gets accustomed to that specific type of pleasuring. I have the fix, so read on.
Julie has amazing orgasms. The catch? They're with her vacuum cleaner. "One time, I was straddling it and noticed it felt good. The intense vibrations against my clitoris sent me over the edge and it has become the only way I can get off", she says. Julie's technique is unique, but experts say the fact that she can have an orgasm only one way isn't that rare. Many women train their bodies to climax with a specific move and then have a hard time reaching orgasm when they can't get those sensations from a guy. Since finishing with you is the ideal resolve to any sexy romp, I got tips on getting the same feelings when you're having sex together.
- What she needs… Grinding. Whether it's rubbing against a piece of furniture or the palm of her hand, the reason women rely on this move is because of the allover friction it creates. The larger the area she stimulates (for example her whole down there region), the more nerves she arouses and the better chance she has at climaxing more powerful. In order for her to get the same type of sensation with you, make a tweak to the missionary position. Rather than lying between her knees, have her keep her legs closed and together as you enter her. The top of your shaft will rub against her clitoris, creating that same oh-my-gawd friction. You can also achieve this with a good and hard cunnilingus session. The catch: lick, suck and lightly bite her everywhere down there, don't just focus on the clitoris or the labia. Start by creating large figures of eight with your tongue and move to licking every inch of her vaginal area: no exception. She'll be moaning and climaxing in no time.
- What she needs… Strong vibrations. Powerful tremors – like the kind created by a vibrator or, er, vacuum cleaner – are the number one sensation women get hooked on. The reason: her clitoris has feel-good nerve endings that fan out around the vagina. So even if she puts just the tip of the vibrator on one spot, the buzzing sends tingles throughout all the neural pathways. To mimic this during your sexual act together, you'll have to bring a vibrator into bed with you. Pick a position that gives you easy access to her clitoris, like doggie-style. As you thrust, use a pocket rocket – the smaller it is, the less threatened you'll be – on her hot spot. Not only will she get the same sensations she's used to, but you will also be moving inside her –which makes for an even more passionate finish.
- What she needs… Running water. Remember that scene in American Reunion where Alyson Hannigan's character passes up sex for a solo session with her showerhead? That's because it provides the perfect amount of pressure against a woman's C-spot, while warm water boosts blood flow to her genitals. To re-create these elements together, you'll need a bottle of warming lube. Add a dime-size amount to your penis, and have her climb on top, leaning forward as she moves up and down. She can control the pressure on her clitoris, just like she does in the tub. Plus, the lube increases blood flow in the same way and the fact that it gets warmer and warmer will resemble the feeling she gets from the hot water. The end result: a hot as hell finale.
Have a sexy week,
Gabrielle Moore
P.S. If you don't know what kind of self-pleasuring she uses, ask her. In order for her to dare to fess up, tell her about your masturbation techniques.

No matter whether it's masturbation or sex between partners, changing things up is the secret to a great sex life.
Sometimes we combine the two, during intercourse I use my little vibrating egg and masturbate. It started with him trying to use it on me but it was awkward and he was distracted from his own pleasure.
If I use it we can both concentrate on our enjoyment while also giving pleasure to each other. Also he really enjoys watching me masturbate. It works out really, really well for both of us.
Yah i av learnt tactics nicely but my question is me and my wife we can do different styles and she enjoys very much but when it comes orgasm , she tends to say climb on top or she climbs me top these other style ,she cant come out. Is this also a problem ?and if she had orgasm yestaday then today she will not .is this a problem because me i can have sex the whole week or month and enjoy. Cant this affect me in future ?she usually comes out on penile
I got very important lesson which improves my sex life in away I never imagined before, thank you, Gabrielle Moore.

This year some 22,880 foreign nationals have been ordered to leave the Netherlands, of whom 47% have gone under their own steam, junior immigration minister Klaas Dijkhoff told radio show Dit is de Dag on Monday evening.
The rest left the country under supervision, Dijkhoff said, adding that he could not prove that the thousands who were told to go have actually left the country. 'But it would not be logical to assume that they are all still here,' the minister said.
The group includes failed asylum seekers, illegal immigrants and people who have lost the right to live in the Netherlands. Of the foreign nationals who the minister says have left, 13% came from Albania, 6% from Iraq and 5% Serbia and Syria.
At the moment, refugees who fail in their applications for asylum are evicted from refugee centres and expected to return home. Thousands have ended up living rough or in emergency accommodation run by churches and other charities.
Refugee organisation Vluchtelingenwerk estimates some 5,000 would-be refugees are put on the street every year.
Dijkhoff also told the programme he is looking at measures to put 'very irritating' asylum seekers under house arrest on December 31, to stop them disturbing the New Year celebrations.
'These are people who have a criminal record or people who are known to the police as troublemakers,' he said, adding that he is 'sharpening his own instruments' to make this possible. – Dutch News

"Up" - What Did You Think?
Posted: May 29th, 2009 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Pixar's latest film "Up" is now playing in theaters. We created this section for all of you who have seen it already to tell us your opinion and share what you liked or disliked about it.
The studio is under pressure to deliver a successful film, since all nine previous projects have been hits. Wall Street does not believe in a movie revolving around an elderly man and feels that children wouldn't be as excited about buying a Carl Fredricksen doll as they were will Wall-E or Ratatouille.
How does "Up" compare to previous Pixar films?

going to see it in a hour,when i get back i'll post thoughts,it better be good,im going to see this instead of terminator salvation
on May 29th, 2009 at 6:11:27 PM
i haven't seen it yet...my friend works at the theater...he says it's great...pixar was never the best starting out and that's what made them so awesome...any animation they do always has the same style as their early works...it's just slowly gotten more advanced and i'm not complaining....they focus on ideas...not things that are just for money....cuz the money always comes later...but usually it's always something new...the movie i'd say looks promising...the toys, that's a different story...but wall street thinks both will fail...but pixar does movies, not toys...and i liked what i saw in the trailer anyway
on May 29th, 2009 at 6:15:31 PM
i liked it pixar's still got it. the short before the movie was good too
on May 29th, 2009 at 6:26:24 PM
It was a great movie, though I didn't get into it as much as I did Wall-E or Ratatouille upon my first viewing. But 10/10 for animation, of course; 8/10 for story. I can understand whoever it is not believing kids will identify with Up the same way as other Pixar films. I would definitely see it again, though. Also, the Pixar short before the feature was very well done. But just as the movie, I don't think it was Presto or Lifted. See Up, it will be better than a large percentage of movies released this year!
on May 30th, 2009 at 12:51:18 AM
incredible... seriously incredible
on May 30th, 2009 at 1:34:26 AM
This movie was fantastic. This officialy marks the first time I cried during a movie (although I came close multiple times with WALL-E). It's hard to top WALL-E, but I think Pixar did it.
on May 30th, 2009 at 2:00:38 PM
I can smell you. Squirrel!
on May 30th, 2009 at 4:22:09 PM
I thought this movie was incredible. It was hilarious and at times, it was very heartfelt, just like every other Pixar movie. I'm definitely going to see it again in the near future.
on May 30th, 2009 at 9:30:51 PM
saw it 2day great movie loved it
on May 31st, 2009 at 1:10:46 PM
see it in 3-D it is such a great movie i will most likely see it twice
on May 31st, 2009 at 9:13:59 PM
It was fantastic. Heartwarming from the first moment. This will have no problem making money. Will it break any records? No. Will it make a hefty profit worldwide? Absolutely.

Great movie. One of my favorite Pixar flicks now.
on June 4th, 2009 at 9:56:41 PM
Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed Up. It's definitely debatable as to whether this is the best Pixar film or not, but I'd say it is - definitely my favorite, at least. I felt like crying at some parts. Hell, even the 6 minute short beforehand was more touching than anything else I'd seen all year. And Up itself was just fantastic. There isn't a flaw in the entire movie - it goes above and beyond all expectations for an animated film about an old man's flying house. Brilliant. Stupendous. Best animated film of the year hands down. I really hope they give this one a nod for best picture. It's more than an entertaining movie, it's art. It's a masterpiece of cinema on all levels.
on June 7th, 2009 at 4:57:25 PM
This movie was soo cute! it was sad at times but i loved it! The old man is fantastic!
on August 4th, 2009 at 4:50:27 PM
Old man and kids relationship - comic genius
Old man's story and ambition - heart felt and emotional
Action scenes - brilliant
Storytelling - amazing
All thrown together with Pixar's unique style. Couldn't have asked for more.

This female comedian just shut down all-male 'late night' photo
Comedian, Samantha Bee, is pointing out an obvious disparity in the world late night TV.
SEE MORE: Brooklyn bar serves up brew with a splash of equality
From Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, James Corden, Carson Daly, Trevor Noah, and Conan O'Brien...what's missing from this extensive list of names? A woman, perhaps?
The first photo is the one featured in Vanity Fair. The second is one that the hilarious Samantha Bee whipped up, to show that these men aren't the only funny ones around here.
Even the male late night hosts themselves have noticed! In a recent interview with Glamour, Stephen Colbert says: "It has been pointed out to me that I, like other late night TV hosts, am a man. And while I'm happy to have a job, I am surprised that the world of late night TV lacks a female presence."

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
1) A feed for the latest widgets (site-wide)
2) A feed for the latest blue widgets
3) A feed for the latest red widgets
4) A feed for the latest blue widgets in each country
5) A feed for the latest red widgets in each country
Because of 4) and 5), that comes to a lot of feeds.
Good news is that MSNBot has started to crawl each feed, and I have submitted the feeds to newsisfree etc.
I am particularly excited by the MSNBot activity! Does it actually mean anything in terms of ranking or traffic, though...?
I can confirm that MSNbot still pounds the site on a daily basis and greadily gobbles up each and every RSS feed I throw at him.
But he is not putting on any weight despite all this feeding :(
Possibly there may be some benefit in terms of making the site look "fresh", and there may be a marginal ranking benefit from this. There may be any number of other benefits from having the feeds, and for this reason, I will keep them. Who knows, maybe tomorrow there may be a ranking benefit for sites who have had feeds running for a long time.
But there has not been any difference in the BOTTOM LINE i.e. referrals / revenue.
Time will tell, as TJ says.
1) Latest blue widgets in USA
2) Latest red widgets in USA
3) Latest blue widgets in Canada
4) Latest red widgets in Canada
5) Latest blue widgets in Australia
6) Latest red widgets in Australia
7) Latest blue widgets in France
8) Latest red widgets in France
9) Etc.
The XML file is generated dynamically by PHP pulling results from the MySQL database.
Now you mention it, I have only one script file, and link to it with different variables, i.e. script.php?colour=blue&country=usa etc.
OMG. Maybe Google sees this as only one script.php file and all the?colour=blue&country=usa links are duplicate links?
Will see if GoogleBot is any more impressed with this... ;)
Thanks howiejs for the idea.

The Standard Charitable Foundation Grants $5,000 to The Shadow Project
Grant supports advocacy and education for disadvantaged youth
PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Standard Charitable Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Standard Insurance Company ("The Standard"), has awarded a $5,000 grant to The Shadow Project. The grant will provide copies of the forthcoming children's book, The Boy Who Learned Upside Down, to be distributed to approximately 400 low-income, special needs children in The Shadow Project program residing in the Portland and McMinnville school districts. The book reduces the stigma of special education and empowers children with special needs to recognize themselves as capable and courageous.
"We are incredibly thankful for The Standard Charitable Foundation's generous support," said Christy Scattarella, executive director of The Shadow Project. "This grant allows us to continue our work to close the achievement gap and build self-confidence for students with 'invisible' disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism and communications disorders."
The Shadow Project collaborates with special education teachers to build school-wide appreciation for children who learn differently by bringing together mainstream and special-needs students in a positive way. The Project addresses the needs of low-income, at-risk students by encouraging self-confidence and strong values from an early age.

Don't be alarmed by the length of this problem's specification. Most of it is just instructions for getting your programming environment set up and learning how to navigate within it. Once these steps are completed, you'll be good to go for the rest of the year in CS50 AP!
- Set up your CS50 programming environment.
- Get comfortable with Linux.
- Solve your first problem in C.
Recommended Reading
- Pages 1 – 7, 9, and 10 of http://www.howstuffworks.com/c.htm.
- Chapters 1 – 5, 9, and 11 – 17 of Absolute Beginner's Guide to C.
- Chapters 1 – 6 of Programming in C.
Academic Honesty
This course's philosophy on academic honesty is best stated as "be reasonable." The course recognizes that interactions with classmates and others can facilitate mastery of the course's material. However, there remains a line between enlisting the help of another and submitting the work of another. This policy characterizes both sides of that line.
The essence of all work that you submit to this course must be your own. Collaboration on problems is not permitted (unless explicitly stated otherwise) except to the extent that you may ask classmates and others for help so long as that help does not reduce to another doing your work for you. Generally speaking, when asking for help, you may show your code or writing to others, but you may not view theirs, so long as you and they respect this policy's other constraints. Collaboration on quizzes and tests is not permitted at all. Collaboration on the final project is permitted to the extent prescribed by its specification.
Below are rules of thumb that (inexhaustively) characterize acts that the course considers reasonable and not reasonable. If in doubt as to whether some act is reasonable, do not commit it until you solicit and receive approval in writing from your instructor. If a violation of this policy is suspected and confirmed, your instructor reserves the right to impose local sanctions on top of any disciplinary outcome that may include an unsatisfactory or failing grade for work submitted or for the course itself.
- Communicating with classmates about problems in English (or some other spoken language).
- Discussing the course's material with others in order to understand it better.
- Helping a classmate identify a bug in his or her code, such as by viewing, compiling, or running his or her code, even on your own computer.
- Incorporating snippets of code that you find online or elsewhere into your own code, provided that those snippets are not themselves solutions to assigned problems and that you cite the snippets' origins.
- Reviewing past years' quizzes, tests, and solutions thereto.
- Sending or showing code that you've written to someone, possibly a classmate, so that he or she might help you identify and fix a bug.
- Sharing snippets of your own solutions to problems online so that others might help you identify and fix a bug or other issue.
- Turning to the web or elsewhere for instruction beyond the course's own, for references, and for solutions to technical difficulties, but not for outright solutions to problems or your own final project.
- Whiteboarding solutions to problems with others using diagrams or pseudocode but not actual code.
- Working with (and even paying) a tutor to help you with the course, provided the tutor does not do your work for you.
Not Reasonable
- Accessing a solution to some problem prior to (re-)submitting your own.
- Asking a classmate to see his or her solution to a problem before (re-)submitting your own.
- Decompiling, deobfuscating, or disassembling the staff's solutions to problems.
- Failing to cite (as with comments) the origins of code, writing, or techniques that you discover outside of the course's own lessons and integrate into your own work, even while respecting this policy's other constraints.
- Giving or showing to a classmate a solution to a problem when it is he or she, and not you, who is struggling to solve it.
- Looking at another individual's work during a quiz or test.
- Paying or offering to pay an individual for work that you may submit as (part of) your own.
- Providing or making available solutions to problems to individuals who might take this course in the future.
- Searching for, soliciting, or viewing a quiz's questions or answers prior to taking the quiz.
- Searching for or soliciting outright solutions to problems online or elsewhere.
- Splitting a problem's workload with another individual and combining your work (unless explicitly authorized by the problem itself).
- Submitting (after possibly modifying) the work of another individual beyond allowed snippets.
- Submitting the same or similar work to this course that you have submitted or will submit to another.
- Using resources during a quiz beyond those explicitly allowed in the quiz's instructions.
- Viewing another's solution to a problem and basing your own solution on it.
Your work on this problem set will be evaluated along four axes primarily.
- Scope
- To what extent does your code implement the features required by our specification?
- Correctness
- To what extent is your code consistent with our specifications and free of bugs?
- Design
- To what extent is your code written well (i.e., clearly, efficiently, elegantly, and/or logically)?
- Style
- To what extent is your code readable (i.e., commented and indented with variables aptly named)?
To obtain a passing grade in this course, all students must ordinarily submit all assigned problems unless granted an exception in writing by the instructor.
Getting Started
One of the hurdles that people getting started with programming frequently encounter is configuring their computer environment for programming. One approach would be to buy a new computer, install a programming-friendly operating system on it (such as Ubuntu Linux) on it, and use that! But that's a pretty big ask.
Another approach is to do what we've done in the past. Several years back, our staff put together something called the CS50 Appliance, a "virtual machine" (running Ubuntu) that you can run inside of a window on your own computer, whether you run Windows, Mac OS, or even Linux itself. To do so, all you need is a "hypervisor" (otherwise known as a "virtual machine monitor"), software that tricks the Appliance into thinking that it's running on "bare metal."[1]
But why not skip that altogether? After all, wouldn't you like to get programming right away, without having to download, install, or configure much of anything at all?
We thought you might! So recently Dan, Dan, and Dino, a few members of our staff, prepared a successor to the CS50 Appliance that's "cloud-based" (remember what that means?) largely using open-source software developed by a company called Cloud9.
So let's get you set up with your own instance of the so-called CS50 IDE, which we recommend you use for the majority of your programming work in the course.
Go to http://c9.io and sign up for cloud9 using your email and password of your choosing. Do not begin to use the default workspace provided by cloud9. You need to create a CS50 workspace for this class.
Copy and paste (do not click on) the line below into the same browser tab you are current active in:
This should create a new CS50 IDE workspace inside of your newly-created Cloud9 account (called ide50).
On every subsequent visit to c9.io, you should be brought right back to this workspace (if not, just click on the colored avatar in the top-right corner after logging in to be brought to your Cloud9 dashboard[2], from which you'll be able to then open your workspace).
When you are finished working in your CS50 IDE workspace in class, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you LOG OUT. You can sign out by clicking on the colored avatar on the upper right hand side of your screen. If you don't log out, the next student at that computer, may end up working in your workspace.
That wasn't too bad, right?
Once you've got your CS50 IDE instance open in a browser window, have a look over the README file we've included with it. It includes some basics about using your new workspace. Don't worry too much about references to "problem sets" or other terminology or things you haven't seen before—CS50 IDE is neutrally configured for use with different versions of the CS50 course that won't be applicable for your progress through CS50 AP.
Let's now make sure that you have the most up-to-date version of CS50 IDE. To do so, click in the terminal window (conveniently called Terminal) at the bottom of the screen, where by default you should see a prompt which reads:
username@ide50:~/workspace $
You are now about to work with a command-line (i.e., text-based) interface via which you can navigate your workspace's files and directories and run programs by typing their names. Updating the CS50 IDE is pretty easy. Just type
at the prompt and then hit Enter on your keyboard. It may take a while to finish executing, but after a minute or two (depending on the speed of your computer and the quality of your Internet connection), you'll see the terminal window eventually tells you
All done! <3
Update complete!
Update complete!
after which you are free to continue exploring CS50 IDE.
Navigating CS50 IDE
Okay, let's create a folder (otherwise known as a directory) in which your code for this problem will soon live. On the left side of the screen you should see a file tree listing the current contents of your CS50 IDE workspace (right now it should simply be a folder entitled
ide50. Right-click in the blank space underneath
ide50 and select New Folder near the bottom of the context menu that pops up. This should create, as expected, a new folder for you entitled New Folder which you can rename now to
unit1. If you accidentally leave it named
New Folder, simply right click on the folder, choose Rename from the context menu, and rename it.
Front and center in the CS50 IDE workspace is a window wherein you'll be able to write your code, using Ace, a web-based text editor. Right now, assuming you haven't played around with the tabs, that window is blank.
Let's create a new file to play around with. Right-click on your newly-created
unit1 folder and choose New File from the context menu. Then, double-click on this new file (which should hopefully be called
Untitled and which should be nested beneath
unit1 in the file tree), and a blank window should open up in Ace with the tab for
Untitled as the active one.
Go ahead and type
hello (or the ever-popular
asdf) on line 1 of the document, and then notice how the tab's name in Ace is now prefixed with an asterisk (*), indicating that you've made changes since the file was first opened. Select File > Save, and that asterisk should disappear, indicating all of our changes are saved.
Untitled isn't exactly a useful name for this file though, is it? Let's fix that! In the file tree on the left, right-click on
Untitled and select Rename from the context menu. Enter
hello.txt when able, and then hit Enter on your keyboard. You should see the name of the file has changed both in the file tree on the left and in the name of the tab.
Okay, with
hello.txt still open in your workspace, notice that beneath your document is that terminal window. Notice that the window's prompt is, assuming you haven't otherwise manipulated it
username@ide50:~/workspace $
username is the username you selected when creating your edX account) which means that you are logged into your workspace and that you are currently inside of
~/workspace (i.e., inside a folder called
workspace which is itself inside your home directory (aka
~))[3]. If that's the case, based on the file tree should be a
unit1 directory somewhere inside, since we created it just a few moments ago. Let's confirm as much.
Click somewhere inside of that terminal window and type
and then Enter. That's a lowercase L and a lowercase S, which is shorthand notation for "list." Indeed, you should then see a list of the folders inside of your workspace directory, among which is
unit1! Let's open that folder! Type
cd unit1
or even
cd ~/workspace/unit1
followed by Enter to change your directory to ~/workspace/unit1 (ergo,
cd). You should find that your prompt changes to
username@ide50:~/workspace/unit1 $
confirming that you are indeed now inside of
~/workspace/unit1 (i.e., a directory called
unit1 inside of a directory called
workspace inside of your home directory). Now type
followed by Enter. You should see
hello.txt! Now, you can't click or double-click on that file's name there; it's just text. But that listing does confirm that
hello.txt is where we hoped it would be.
Let's poke around a bit more. Go ahead and type
and then Enter. If you don't provide
cd with a "command-line argument" (i.e., a directory's name), it whisks you back to your home directory by default. Indeed, your prompt should now be:
username@ide50:~ $
Phew, home sweet home. Remember though that everything we create in the CS50 IDE will ultimately live inside of
workspace, so just:
cd workspace
to return to where everything started. Make sense? If not, no worries; it soon will! It's in this terminal window that you'll soon be compiling your first program! For now, though, close Ace by clicking the small "x" in the tab for
hello.txt (if you've made additional changes, you'll be asked if you want to save your file before the tab closes).
Hello, C
First, a hello from Zamyla if you'd like a tour of what's to come, particularly if less comfortable. Note that in this video, she is using the CS50 Appliance, which is somewhat different from the CS50 IDE, but not a problem.
Shall we have you write your first program? You could go ahead create a new file inside of your
unit1 directory and save the file as
hello.c (not
hello.txt), just as before (remember how?), but we'll also take this opportunity to show you another way. In the terminal window, type
cd ~/workspace/unit1
and then, after confirming that you are in the right spot by looking at your prompt, type
touch hello.c
after a few moments, you should see
hello.c has been created inside of your
unit1 directory. Neat! Double-click on that file in the file tree to edit it, as before, then go ahead and write your first program by typing these lines into the file (though you're welcome to change the words between quotes to whatever you'd like):
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
____printf("hello, world\n");
int main(void)
____printf("hello, world\n");
Notice how Ace adds "syntax highlighting" (i.e., color) as you type. Those colors aren't actually saved inside of the file itself; they're just added by Ace to make certain syntax stand out. Had you not saved the file as
hello.c from the start, Ace wouldn't know (per the filename's extension) that you're writing C code, in which case those colors would be absent.
Do be sure that you type in this program just right, else you're about to experience your first bug! In particular, capitalization matters, so don't accidentally capitalize words (unless they're between those two quotes). And don't overlook that one semicolon. C is quite nitpicky!
When done typing, select File > Save (or hit ctrl-s), but don't close the tab. Recall that the leading asterisk in the tab's name should then disappear. Click anywhere in the terminal window beneath your code. The prompt itself should now be
username@ide50:~/workspace/unit1 $
If it's not, navigate yourself there. (Remember how?)
hello.c should exist in this folder, assuming everything's gone according to plan. Let's confirm that
hello.c is there. Type
at the prompt followed by Enter, and you should see both
hello.c and
hello.txt? If not, no worries; you probably just missed a small step. Best to restart these past several steps or ask for help!
Assuming you indeed see
hello.c, let's try to compile! Cross your fingers and then type
make hello
at the prompt, followed by Enter. (Well, maybe don't cross your fingers whilst typing.) To be clear, type only
hello here, not
hello.c. You'll likely see a line that looks like the following[4] immediately after hitting Enter
clang -ggdb3 -O0 -std=c99 -Wall -Werror hello.c -lcs50 -lm -o hello
If after that all that you see is another, identical prompt, that means it worked! Your source code has been translated to object code (0s and 1s) that you can now execute. Cool! Type
at your prompt, followed by Enter, and you should see whatever message you wrote between quotes in your code! Indeed, if you type
followed by Enter, you should see a new file,
hello, alongside
hello.c and
If, though, upon running
make, you instead see some error(s), it's time to debug! (If the terminal window's too small to see everything, click and drag its top border upward to increase its height.) If you see an error like expected declaration or something no less mysterious, odds are you made a syntax error (i.e., typo) by omitting some character or adding something in the wrong place. Scour your code for any differences vis-à-vis the template above. It's easy to miss the slightest of things when learning to program, so do compare your code against ours character by character; odds are the mistake(s) will jump out! Anytime you make changes to your own code, just remember to re-save via File > Save (or ctrl-s), then re-click inside of the terminal window, and then re-type
make hello
at your prompt, followed by Enter. (Just be sure that you are inside of
~/workspace/unit1 within your terminal window, as your prompt will confirm or deny.) If you see no more errors, try running your program by typing
at your prompt, followed by Enter! Hopefully you now see precisely the below?
hello, world
If not, reach out for help!
Woo hoo! You've begun to program!
CS50 Check
Now let's see if the program you just wrote is correct! Included in the CS50 IDE is
check50, a command-line program with which you can check the correctness of (some of) your programs.
If not already there, navigate your way to
~/workspace/unit1 (Remember how?)
If you then execute
you should see, at least,
hello.c. Be sure it's indeed spelled
hello.c and not
hello.C, or the like, as filenames on CS50 IDE and indeed most Linux operating systems are case-sensitive. If it's not, know that you can rename a file in the terminal (as opposed to right-clicking in the file tree) by executing
mv source destination
source is the file's current name, and
destination is the file's new name. For instance, if you accidentally named your program
Hello.c, you could fix it as follows.
mv Hello.c hello.c
Okay, assuming your file's name is definitely spelled
hello.c now, go ahead and execute the below. Note that
1516.unit1.hello is just a unique identifier for this problem's checks. We'll always specify exactly the unique identifier you should use to check your programs' correctness.
check50 1516.unit1.hello hello.c
Assuming your program is correct, you should then see output like
:) hello.c exists
:) hello.c compiles
:) prints "hello, world\n"
where each green smiley means your program passed a check (i.e., test). You may also see a URL at the bottom of
check50's output, but that's something your teacher might use when checking your code (though you're welcome to visit it nonetheless).
If you instead see yellow or red smileys, it means your code isn't correct! For instance, suppose you instead see the below.
:( hello.c exists
\ expected hello.c to exist
:| hello.c compiles
\ can't check until a frown turns upside down
:| prints "hello, world\n"
\ can't check until a frown turns upside down
check50 doesn't think
hello.c exists, as per the red smiley, odds are you uploaded the wrong file or misnamed your file. The other smileys, meanwhile, are yellow because those checks are dependent on
hello.c existing, and so they weren't even run.
Suppose instead you see the below.
:) hello.c exists
:) hello.c compiles
:( prints "hello, world\n"
\ expected output, but not "hello, world"
Odds are, in this case, you printed something other than
hello, world\n verbatim, per the spec's expectations. In particular, the above suggests you printed
hello, world, without a trailing newline (
\n). See why?
check50 lets you check your work's correctness before you submit your work. Once you actually submit your work (per the directions at this spec's end), your teacher will use
check50 to evaluate your work's correctness officially.
CS50 Style
In addition to
check50, the CS50 IDE comes with
style50, a tool with which you can evaluate your code's style vis-à-vis CS50's style guide. To run it on, say,
hello.c, execute the below:
style50 hello.c
You should see zero or more lines of suggestions. Yellow smileys indicate warnings that you should consider addressing. Red smileys indicate errors that you should definitely address.
Note that
style50 is still a work in progress (a "beta" version, so to speak), so best to consult CS50's style guide for official guidance.
And how about that? You've written your first C program and configured your CS50 environment! Not too shabby.
This was Problem 1-2.
workspace folder is renamed to
ide50, the actual name of the workspace in question, but rest assured that
ide50 in the file tree corresponds to
workspace in the terminal window.

The budgetary course of is the only responsibility of senior administration workers and finance staff. Carlos Fernández Valdovinos, President, Banco Central del Paraguay at 2016 Annual Assembly of the IMF and World Financial institution in Washington D.C. talks with World Finance Editor Andrea Fiano. The payout ratio is easy to find by wanting up the basic stats about an organization on a web site reminiscent of Yahoo Finance or Google Finance. The Bachelor of Business (Accounting and Finance) is accredited by CPA Australia, and Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CAANZ) until 2017.
As you can see, a majority of these loans usually are not typically used to finance the purchase of a automobile. For forty years, educational finance has deplored energetic investing and paying fees for lively administration. With rising economy with its ups and downs, the necessity for finance specialists for any organization has been dominant in order to maximise income and organization development. The following books are excellent books that may train you the proper methods to search out corporations to put money into.
The job oriented packages for finance examine also help new comers to get a practical view on market statistics and assist them to learn and develop as a useful finance analyst. Whereas not as intuitive as some personal finance software program packages, the product does contain most options that normal customers need. On this regard, returning to finance, observe the continuing flurry of papers about herding and fragility, and how no less than some establishments and laws in finance are attempts to deal with that, although not very successfully now. These companies, which are often young and highly progressive, tend to fail in elevating adequate finance because of the conservative, asset-based mostly lending approach adopted by the smaller banks/regional branches. Yahoo Finance is an online portal within the Yahoo foremost web site that gives guests with free, as much as the minute, worldwide and native Monetary and Market data.
I suppose investment banking and finance is good prep for entrepreneurship simply due to the hours concerned and you are also motivating yourself to maintain going which is what you will have to do with a personnel, anyway. Karnit Flug, Central Financial institution Governor, Financial institution of Israel at 2016 Annual Assembly of the IMF and World Bank in Washington D.C. talks with Global Finance Editor Andrea Fiano. In addition my husband took critically I will this past fall and has been unemployed since November and has major surgery. While it sounds pretty technical (and it can be), at it is heart, a research examine is just a story about how one thing in the area of finance works. The shop has been usually flat for the reason that fall of 2008, and I have returned to work so my spouse and I each have jobs and personal earnings. Family finance in India is a area the place the literature is simply beginning to emerge.
The dividend can also be more likely to be lower sooner or later, since most corporations cannot maintain this for more than a year or two without harming their firm. I have noticed that sometimes the data posted on the Yahoo web site can really boost the inventory price, for example- rumors or statements about firm acquisitions or purchase outs. Ensures that procedures are in impact for the recording of public money payable to the Minister of Finance and that authority exists for the recording and cost of public cash. It featured a lower tier of three,500 seats and an upper tier of two,500 seats with the seating tiers divided by a 360 degree concourse level offering views over the Olympic Park and out to the London skyline. The finance diploma courses are explicitly thought-about for the candidates who need to advance their abilities in monetary section of trade for the benefit of group and business development.

There's a reason why photographers shoot in black and white. And it's also the reason I love black and white photos the most. Because it's one of the most powerful yet simplistic mediums. You don't need to try as hard, you're not distracted by all of the colors trying to compete with the subject of the photograph - it strips everything bare, leaving you with the raw and pure essence of the photograph.
Sometimes I feel like I need to do this in my own life. Strip it bare, simplify, stop competing and comparing and just S L O W DOWN and BE.
Easier said than done.
This blogging thing, this work thing, this relationship thing, this LIFE thing can be busy, complicated and quite frankly exhausting! I feel like things are coming at me at lightning speed and as much as I prefer to be busy over bored, sometimes slowing down is exactly what I need in order to rev things up. (does that make sense?)
Although I'm way more comfortable with who I am now in my early 30's than I was in my 20's, as I try to make this blog and my brand grow I still struggle with finding my voice, my message, my confidence so that I can be successful but also come across as authentic. My thoughts can become blurred and my constant comparison can sometimes stunt my progress. (gee, thanks all of you beautiful Instagrammers!).
I've always been a nostalgic person. A song, an old photograph, a smell, a familiar taste can all transport me back to an exact moment in time, conjuring up happy memories. I've been using this nostalgia to bring me back to days that were filled with more simplicity and peace. Of long summer days on Long Beach Island when my only care in the world was what bathing suit I would wear that day.
Days of not having a phone in my hand at all times, of reading a book and actually FINISHING it, of making lanyards and bracelets out of yarn and actually having the confidence to try to sell them! Heck, I even rocked a fro-perm and felt beautiful!
Those were the days. . .
Whenever I feel overwhelmed or get into these comparison funks (and I will call it a funk because I start to second-guess everything I'm doing and shut down) I try to think back to these times that seemed more black + white, simpler and not as convoluted. I guess I use these memories as some sort of psychological comfort. The way nostalgia should be used, right!?
It's like I want to turn everything into black and white, see the rawness, the purity of life and dig deeper into who I am and really what I'm trying to accomplish - without all of the noise and clutter in my head that keeps me from believing in what I'm doing and myself. I want to go back to those days when my mind was clearer, less distracted.
So in order to s l o w d o w n and center myself more, I've decided to take some small steps towards doing this. Here's what I've come up with:
- Start the 5-Minute Journal. Have you heard of it? Neither had I, but a friend (shout-out to Morgan!) recently introduced me and I'm hooked. It's a tool (and an app) to help keep you focused on the positivity in every day. It's one entry in the morning and one at night that literally takes 5 minutes (or less) but has already helped me to feel happier and more focused. Download it. Trust me.
- Designate certain social media/email times throughout the day. This one is tough, but have you ever noticed that when you're stopped still for even a minute, you automatically grab your phone and catch up on emails or social media? Even when you're just standing in line or walking to work. Instead, I want to designate a few times throughout the day when I will do my social media catch- up - like right after lunch, or right when I get home from work. Instead of right when I wake up and right before bed. Think of all you're missing with your head buried in your phone!!
- Purge 1-2 items a week in your home or office that you no longer have use for. More stuff = more clutter, more mess, more to clean up. S I M P L I F Y .
- Take one moment every day for yourself. Even if it's 10 minutes. Take a longer shower, sit in the courtyard, read a magazine. And leave your phone behind.
- Stop comparing. Start doing. Instead of comparing myself to other bloggers and stylists, I have been reaching out to the ones I admire more. It's actually amazing how responsive people are and how supportive this industry can be. I need to stop using it as an excuse that's holding me back and leverage the amazing people who are willing to help!
- Stop thinking so hard and start being. This is by far the hardest for me. I tend to second-guess every word I write or picture I post. I need to post it and forget it. I spend waaay too much time agonizing over things - which actually prevents me from enjoying the moment that I'm in.
This is just a start but you see where I'm going with this.
So as the weekend approaches I will be trying my best to practice this black + white approach - to see things in a more pure form, to work on being less distracted and more real. To stop trying so hard and just be myself. Who knows, maybe that's what's been holding me back the whole time.


text: You may have noticed by now, that I post on shoes quite frequently. And by this you can assume I have shoe problems...I never get tired of trying them nor buying them. And this week, I've got my eyes on these Gianvito Rossi lace booties. These booties are elegant, chic, sexy, and I heard surprisingly comfortable. I'll admit the price is a bit on the "I may need to save for these" side, but unlike clothes, my style in shoes never change. And because these are simple and classy, they can be worn with pretty much anything. I'm thinking...they are so worth it! But just in case, you don't want to spend $$$$, these Nasty Gal Jeopardy booties are a great alternative.

Team driver Emily Miller vies to become first Vegas to Reno "Ironwoman"
DETROIT - Rod Hall Racing's Team HUMMER, recognized as the most successful stock class desert racing program, attempts to enter the record books again this weekend as team driver Emily Miller, embarks on a quest to become the first woman to drive the entire 457-mile Best in the Desert (BITD) "TSCO Vegas to Reno" race. Racers take the green flag on Friday, August 22, 2008.
Miller, 41, will race the #4110 stock class HUMMER H2 with navigator Jake Povey in her journey to become the first woman to drive the entire race. In long distance desert races, most teams use multiple drivers per vehicle, given the rough terrain, brutal heat and race duration that routinely exceed 12 hours in length. Drivers who pilot vehicles for the entire race earn the designation of "Ironman."
As a long-time adventure sports enthusiast, Miller began off-road racing under the training direction of off-road racing legend Rod Hall. Her racing career began with Team HUMMER at the 2006 Baja 1000, where she drove a significant section of the race with Hall. Miller debuted as a team driver of record at the 2008 BITD Terribles 250, where she earned a second place finish in the Safari Class
"Fortunately, I've had the chance to train with the Halls, who I consider to be among best drivers in off-road racing today," said Miller. "While the desert is unforgiving, the combination of the H2's durability and the Team HUMMER support provide an excellent opportunity to achieve my goal and finish for the team."
In addition to Miller's H2, Team HUMMER will field three other stock class race trucks as drivers Rod, Josh and Chad Hall continue to battle for championship titles in the mini, full-size SUV and full-size truck stock classes.
Rod Hall, 70, Team HUMMER owner and pilot of the mini-stock class #3111 H3 is a living legend in the off-road racing world. Hall, enters the 2008 race currently tied in the mini-stock class in season points with a class wins at the Terribles 250.
"With 12 years of experience racing stock-class Hummers, I believe that they are the most capable off-road vehicles straight from the factory," said Rod Hall. "In fact, the H3 Alpha and H3 were the first stock-class vehicles to finish the 2007 Baja 1000 and 2008 Baja 500."
Chad and Josh Halls' stock-class H3 Alpha and H2 SUT will also make their Vegas to Reno debut this year, entering the race as class points leaders.
Team HUMMER #4111 H3 Alpha driver, Chad Hall enters the 2008 race as points leader in the full-size SUV stock class. Hall most recently finished the 2008 SCORE Baja 500 as the first stock class vehicle to finish the race. He won first in class at the 2007 Vegas to Reno behind the wheel of his stock class H1 Alpha.
Team HUMMER #8111 H2 SUT pilot Josh Hall enters the race as current full-size truck stock class points leader and looks to extend his three-year Vegas to Reno winning streak.
Follow the team's progress live by visiting Team HUMMER (www.rodhallracing.com) on August 22, 2008.
