The DiMarzio D Activator Humbucker Set contains one D Activator Neck standard spaced (neck) pickup, and one D Activator Bridge F-spaced (bridge) pickup. Easy to install, they'll bring a variety of powerful new tones to your guitar.
DiMarzio took a close look at the most popular active neck and bridge humbuckers to see if they could capture all of the good qualities and eliminate the disadvantages: cold sound, limited dynamics, running out of headroom when played hard, and the need for batteries. The end results are the D Activator Neck and Bridge. They use coils tuned to specific frequencies. The purpose is to shift the resonant points of the pickups to the fundamentals and harmonics that you want to accentuate from the guitar, and they respond instantly to hard or light pick attack. The sound is powerful, clean, and open, with excellent harmonic overtones and very tight lows. The best way to describe the D Activator Neck pickup is that it is big, bright, and open sounding with surprising string - to - string balance. The D Activator Bridge has an enriched harmonic quality and the notes want to sing.
Both the D Activator Neck and Bridge pickups were designed to eliminate the sterile edginess commonly associated with active pickups. The D Activator Bridge pickup is about 25% louder than the D Activator Neck. Developing both pickups as a set from the ground up, DiMarzio adjusted the volume levels on the pickups so they are balanced. That way when you switch from the neck to the bridge, you don't hear a drop in volume - also a frequent problem with active pickups. And they don't use batteries.
D Activator Neck
There's a big difference between a pickup that sounds bright and one that sounds thin. A thin-sounding pickup will be brittle on the highest frets and empty-sounding in the mids and lows. The D Activator neck model doesn't do this - both the wound and plain strings remain tight and bright up the neck, and very well balanced. This allows the D Activator neck model to function well in both longer scale bolt-ons and shorter scale, set-neck guitars.
D Activator Bridge
An interesting fact about the most popular active bridge pickups is that they aren't incredibly loud. Instead, they have a strong, focused attack that hits the amp very hard and makes them feel more powerful than they actually spec out to be. This is an important characteristic that DiMarzio needed to capture with the D Activator bridge pickup. They wanted to avoid the limiting effect that can occur with active pickups when they are played hard. This pickup is passive with a lot of headroom, and it responds quickly and accurately to changes in pick attack. A hard pick attack doesn't cause the signal to flatten out, and picking more softly or rolling the volume control down lets the sound clean up naturally.
Like all passive pickups, D Activators require controls with a minimum value of 250K ohms. 500K is the standard all around value.

Put these in a PRS to replace some Duncans, and I couldn't believe the improvement. Not to mention this set was a fraction of the old pickup's price. They're the jack of all trades. No wonder John 5 swears by them. Blues, country, metal, clean, it doesn't matter they got it all

This is the pickup that Dimarzio promises will closely mimic the famed EMG 81 and 85 pickups. They do an excellent job at fixing the issues of the limiting effect and "sterile" sound associated with active pickups. Oddly enough these characteristics are part of the core EMG sound, and once changed the pickup takes on a new character quite dissimilar to the previously mentioned most rectangular of battery powered black pickup powerhouses.
The new sound here is distinctly Dimarzio. The sound is very tight and focused, with an open wah feel on the higher strings. Fast palm muted runs up the neck stay tight without ever becoming shrill on either pickup. Lead sounds from the bridge pickup are excellent with a clarity and attack I have yet to find in other pickups. In my PRS custom 24 the notes seemingly jump out of the amp, particularly during tapping passages. While rolling the volume down the open wah feel is more present, and yields some surprisingly nice medium gain tones. Split sounds are pristine and far more convincing than the stock HFS/VB combo. Also, without an artist name attached to the model they are rather inexpensive in comparison to the rather inflated prices commanded by boutique manufacturers today.
Unfortunately the finely tuned frequencies of these pickups seem to clip clean channels of even the most robust 100watt amp heads with the volume on 10. This can be remedied by lowering the pickup height and rolling back on the volume. I wish there was a lower output, possibly alnico magnet version available. The neck pickup is very treble heavy and I could see how it might sound a bit too bright in bolt on/maple neck guitars.
These are my favorite pickups made by any manufacturer on the market today. If you buy them as EMG replacements you will probably be disappointed, but if you want an excellent offering from Dimarzio look no further.

I recently bought a set of these D Activators for a lower model Ibanez RG I own to replace the stock V7 and V8 humbuckers that came in the guitar (which werent bad to be honest)due to me wanting more growl,high end and volume. These fit the bill perfectly and have added some brightness to a basswood guitar. I cant say enough about the tone and definition that comes out of these. They burn through the red channel on my Mesa Rectifier but another thing they do real well is sound great clean! Just a great set that has plenty of thump. Well done Dimarzio and thank you MF for great service as always!
Comments about DiMarzio D ACTIVATOR HUMBUCKER SET STD NK F SP BRDG:
I bought this set of pickups to replace the stock Alnico pickups in my mahogany body Epiphone Les Paul Standard. The pickups that come with the Epis are nothing to complain about but more of a "jack of all trades, master of none" type deal.
I play a lot of metal, specifically melodic death metal, and wanted to get as close as I could do that classic Gothenburg sound while still using passive pickups and not being stuck with just one sound (as I do play a wide variety of genres as well).
I have always admired Ibanez guitars and noticed that, when not using their own pickups, generally go with DiMarzio, so, I decided to check them out as my starting point.
Well, you can see where my ending point was. After a long talk with some of the guys over at the DiMarzio forums, I came to the conclusion to try these out. The only other DiMarzios I was interested in getting would have been the PAF 36th and the Crunch Lab or a set of Dominions. However, both, I felt, were a little too strong in the lower spectrum. The Les Paul stock pickups that I already had (at least the bridge) was too bassy to begin with and I wanted to get a more mid to high, hot sound. I love my mids and I love my highs, and these have both.
The only other pickup that I was considering getting would have been a set of Seymour Duncan Distortions but I felt these were not quite as dynamic.
I had my techie install them for me so, I cannot comment on the installation but I assume it was a breeze and even he complimented on the nice hot sound they had. Pinch harmonics pickup very easily now and the sustain lasts tremendously longer than my old pickups. The neck pickup is very hot and mainly the only one I play on (as I play lead) but that's how it was with my old set any way. I do play on the middle sometimes and it almost has a hot single-coil sound with more fullness. The bridge pickup is very good for rhythm but was a little bassier than I expected so not too tremendously good for hot, screaming leads, but definitely good for hammer-on rolls and sweep picking.
These pickups are also very articulate and clean. I can strum a full chord with the gain cranked up and still distinguish each individual note while still retaining heat and distortion. Bassy trilled notes are very articulate and do not get lost in the mix, and notes have a lot of punch to them.
I will say that these are still a jack-of-all-trades style pickup but much more skilled in certain areas than my previous ones. I am very happy with them and have no regrets at all. I would easily stick these in my next guitar. If you are looking for something hot, articulate, punchy, but still like playing a slightly wider range of genres, I think you can't go wrong here, especially for the price. With a coupon and a sale, I paid about 100$ for these here as opposed to being twice that much normally. I do not think I could have got a better deal.
Thank you for excellent pickups, DiMarzio.

I bought these to replace the stock pickups in my RGD320 (Ibanez's VK series pickups, pretty weak for my tastes) I had replaced the stock ones in my 7-string S series with the Crunch Lab and LiquiFire, but decided I wanted something with a little more bite, scream, and overall output than those two this time, so I decided to try the D Activators.
Holy cow! My RGD320 went from a lifeless dud to a SCREAMER! Lots of output, which is something I like. The installation is just as involved as any other pickup swap, so be prepared for some soldering.
The bridge pickup has some serious bite and amazing clarity for how high-gain it is. The low end is beautifully tight, never muddies up. The neck pickup has welcome warmth while still retaining pick dynamics and articulation. It's a beautiful pair, really.
I play and record professionally, everything from Pink Floyd to Joe Satriani to Metallica to Meshuggah, and I feel like these pickups can cover it all. Definitely made the RDG stage- and studio-ready in my book.
Comments about DiMarzio D ACTIVATOR HUMBUCKER SET STD NK F SP BRDG:
I installed these on my ESP to replace some Seymour Duncans that just weren't cutting it for me tone wise. As soon as I plugged in and played my guitar after they were installed I noticed a huge increase sustain and power with great harmonic overtones. Natural and pinch harmonics are a breeze to coax out of your guitar with these things and the tone is awesome for any style of music. They clean up nicely when you roll the volume knob back but scream like a demon with the volume all the way up. They are also super articulate,even with extremely heavy distortion and saturation. I recommend these pickups to anyone looking for very clean and articulate pickups that have great tone for any kind of music. Great buy for me.
Comments about DiMarzio D ACTIVATOR HUMBUCKER SET STD NK F SP BRDG:
I like the packaging, plastic jewel cases, they came each in their own jewel case, and were clearly marked F Spaces, and were shrinked wraped together.
These pickups have a wide open brite powerful sound, they do not seem warm to me at all. I compare them to an EMG 81/60 as not being as warm smooth, but more choppy high mids. they are even more brite and choppy then then a a Super 3, to me they I don't like them as much as my EMG 81/60, or DiMarzio Super 3/H 3,
If you are looking for a metal sound, and I mean literally make the guitar sound as though it was made of metal, then these are for you... If yopu want a smooth growl I suggest the EMG 81/60, or Dimarzio Super 3 / and maybe an evo neck IDK..
If you want a Pantera Dime sound, these are not for you... I suggest a lower mid range pup for that.. maybe a d Activator X IDK.
These pickups have no flaw, they sound great, if you like the fore mentioned features I rated.. the qualite is spot on, wired up great, no lack of wire. Coil were wound great. even came with an allen/hex wrench to remove studs.. also came with mounting screws, and springs.
Well worth the savings vs. buying seperately.. as a combe you can't go wrong.
Comments about DiMarzio D ACTIVATOR HUMBUCKER SET STD NK F SP BRDG:
I'm an active guatarist and about to be playing on stage again... So glad I'll be performing with the D Activators! I strongly prefer and reccomend the D Activators over any active pick ups due to the soulful feel, tonality and ritchness of depth; From B.B. King to Cannibal Corpse, to finding that tone you've been searching for for years, you CAN achieve that with the D activators!!! Great job Dimarzio!!!
-Trey Brown
Huntsville, AL
I'd give them 11 stars if I could... LOL..These are great pick ups! Been practicing music for 17 years... These are some of the BEST pick ups out there for high gain and clean styles of music. I own an Agile 3000 Prestige... Mahagony body and neck... Ebony fret board.
The D Activators really utilize the tonality of the mahagony. A full, organic sound.. Works well with light overdriven tones, crisp cleans, and high gain tones.. Great looking pick ups as well....
The D Activators are truly toneful and inspiring.... Utilizing the string reverberation through the mahagony, sustain for days... I'm a Death Metal Head but I enjoy classic blues as well. The D Activators allow me to enjoy the best of both these worlds.. Rolling the volume and tone knobs backs produce an amazing soulful tone... Very organic and smooth.. High gain distortion remains smooth, articulate... Great harmonics, natural and pinch... Chest thumping low end as well if you wish.Cleans are warm yet crisp. Clear and responsive with sensitivity to touch... Depending on your amp set up...
For the price you are going to get A LOT more than you think... A great deal.. the full tonal pakage..

I bought this pickup to replace the Duncan Designed pickups in a Jackson KVX10 I had bought. The original ones sounded weak and really maded the guitar sound lousy when played alomng with some of the higher end guitars I own. The D Activators make this guitar sound incredible. I highly recomend them for anyone looking for a pickup that is going to sound good distorted. Also for anyone who is wondering how hard it is to replace your own pickups, this was the first time I ever touched a soldering iron and while it did take me a while to do it is absolutely something you can do yourself. I would recomend having a second set of hands around since my biggest problem we holding everythign togather while I tried to solder it.

Geographic Range
Northern elephant seals are found in the coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean from the Gulf of Alaska down to Baja California. Foraging migrations by males and females are made seperately, two times yearly. Males journey north to the Aleutian Islands and the Gulf of Alaska. Females don't travel as far north, but instead migrate further west to more open ocean. The total linear distances migrated by these animals each year has been recorded at 21,000 km. Seals can be seen on shore most often from December through March, during the mating season and again beginning in April and continuing through August as they haul out for moulting. (Feldhamer et al., 1999; Le Boeuf et al., 2000; McConnaughey and McConnaughey, 1997; Reeves, Stewart, and Leatherwood, 1992)

Adds a pleasant taste to protein shakes, however, the dropper is finicky, and there is a fine line between just right, and too many drops which cause a very bitter aftertaste.

CP5 "Project Cache": Behind the scenes
It is very common to have many assets or resources, for example, audios, videos, SWFs, and images in Captivate projects. While such resources enhance your projects and make them effective, they also introduce more disk I/O. Because of this additional disk I/O, the performance of Captivate may get affected and even simple operations like opening and saving projects may take longer time.
'Project Cache' in Adobe Captivate 5 is an attempt to address this performance issue by reducing the disk I/O to a large extent.
A project cache contains uncompressed forms of assets (bitmaps, audio, etc) used in the project and a few other files. The Cp projects or the CPTX files contain an internal reference to their unique cache folders.
Captivate needs to uncompress data while opening the projects or during editing of data. Whenever you try to open the project, Captivate locates the Project Cache folder and checks its consistency with the assets and files in the CPTX file. If the contents are the same as they were when the project was last saved, Captivate does not extract and uncompress data from the CPTX file. This way, the project is opened faster with the 'readily available' latest assets in the Project Cache, thus saving time and enhancing performance.
As soon as a project is created in Cp, a corresponding 'project cache' folder also gets created automatically in the 'Adobe Captivate Cached Projects' folder (root cache folder). This project cache folder is temporary until you save the project; if you close the project without saving, the cache folder is deleted and will not be available for future use. If the project is saved, then the project cache folder becomes available permanently for the project (until you choose to clear the cache or delete the folder).
You can change the default root cache folder, where the individual project cache folders must be created, using the Preferences dialog box (Edit (Windows)/Adobe Captivate (Mac) > Preferences > Global > General Settings > Project Cache). Because, the folder gets populated rapidly with considerable amount of data (roughly around 200 MB for a 100 slide recording (640x 480) project), it is recommended that you put this folder on a drive that has lot of disk space.
What happens if the 'Cp Project' is renamed?
The Cp project continues to use its Project Cache folder. This is because, the first time the project was saved, it was linked internally to the cache folder and this linking does not change when the project is renamed.
Now, consider this scenario: A project "P" is created on "computer A" and is modified on "computer B" and renamed to "P1". The project is then brought back to "computer A". Will the cache be re-used?
No, in this case, project P1 on Computer A does not use the previously created cache. When you open and save P1 on Computer A, a new cache folder gets created. However, if you open project P on Computer A, the cache created previously is used.
What happens if the Cp project is copied?
The file — the original or the copy — that gets opened first uses the existing cache folder. When the other file opens, a new cache folder is created (and is saved when the project is saved).
What happens if the root cache folder is renamed?
The root cache folder that you mention in the Preferences is the folder within which unique project cache folders for every Cp project are created. So, even if you rename the root cache folder, the internal link between the project and its cache remains intact. Hence, when you open the project, it continues to use its unique cache folder.
However, when you save the project, Cp checks if the root cache folder specified in Preferences exists on the system. If a folder with the specified name does not exist, a new root cache folder is created (with the specified name), and then the project cache folder is saved within that folder.
What happens if the Project Cache folder is deleted?
Deleting the "Adobe Captivate Cached Projects" is safe as long as Captivate is not running. While opening a project, if Captivate does not find a corresponding Cache folder, it will create a new one.
If you want to free up some disk space while Captivate is running, you can use the Clear Cache button in Preferences (Edit (Windows)/Adobe Captivate (Mac) > Preferences > Global > General Settings). When you do so, only those sub folders in the root cache folder that are not being used by any running Captivate instance presently get deleted.

The scene in Cincinnati definitely got a slow start.. Initial interest started with a few people in late 2003 early 2004. Most of the smaller groups to start were just friends who saw videos and started learning on their own. Eventually these smaller groups met and started training together. Six years later we have approximately 15-20 regular attendees to the open gym sessions on Sunday nights. Smaller groups meet throughout the week as schedules permit. We look forward to more people learning parkour in Cincinnati and hope that everyone interested will train properly. Parkour and Free-running put a lot of strain on the body and its important to workout properly. This page will be getting some major updates over the next few weeks so keep checking for more info!
There are fewer predefined movements in parkour than gymnastics and other sports , in that parkour is not made up of a list of appropriate "moves." Each obstacle a traceur faces presents a unique challenge on how they can overcome it effectively that depends on their body type, speed and angle of approach, the physical make-up of the obstacle, etc... Parkour is about training the body and mind to be able to react to those obstacles appropriately with a technique that works, many times that technique cannot and need not be classified and given a name.
Despite this, there are many "basic" techniques that are emphasized to beginners for their versatility and effectiveness. Most important are good jumping and landing techniques. The roll, used to limit impact after a drop and carry one's momentum onward, is often stressed as the most important technique to learn. Many traceurs develop joint problems from training too many large drops and rolling incorrectly.

Some people are lucky enough to get a dark spot in the exact place as Cindy Crawford's mole. For the not so lucky others, the only way out is to get rid of them. Zap it, buzz it and eliminate it permanently. One way to do it is with lasers. Laser is a focused beam of light that has just one colour. When directed towards a problem area on the skin, it destroys that particular pigment or tissue without affecting the surrounding areas. Laser is being used to treat brown spots, scars, unwanted hair follicles, and for tattoo removal. Lasers are also used to treat and remove brown and red spots, liver spots, age spots, sun spots, broken capillaries, birthmarks and angiomas.
Most women continue to lead a normal life with dark spots until they start feeling conscious about it. If dark spots are leading you to run from the sun and undervalue your looks, get them treated easily with laser.
- How to choose your practitioner?: When you visit a doctor for treatment, the only way to know if the doctor is right for you is by asking a lot of questions. Ask them about their training and their experience in treating particular types of spots. Another wise thing to check is the number of lasers the clinic has. Some small set ups have just one type of laser, which they recommend to all their patients. It is not just a question of experience and skill but also trust, which will ultimately help you choose the right doctor for your treatment. Also, you may be tempted to try a particular laser treatment since it worked wonders for your friend. Refrain from doing so.
- Types of laser treatment: Your type of treatment will typically be chosen depending on the severity of your dark spots - how dark they are, at what depth in the dermis do they occur, what amount of area they cover, and how old they are. The dermis is six layers deep, so the depth where the spots start can determine what laser your face will need in order to get rid of them. If your spot is fairly new and is only on the top layer, the doctor will start with the first level. Because laser can reach deep down in the dermis, it works where other treatments don't. The treatment does involve a degree of pain and sore skin, but it can yield good results if done right.
- Cost of laser treatment: Laser treatment will cost less than all the money you spend on over-the-counter skin lightening creams over years. It will also cost lesser than the amount of money you spend in buying high quality concealers over time. The cost will typically depend on the type of set up (spa or clinic) and the expertise of the practitioner.
Breast cancer is a type of a cancerous infection that develops in the skin cells of the breast. This condition is more commonly diagnosed after you have skin cancer and is more common in women than men. There are certain signs to identify this disease, which are as follows.
1. Breast lumps - Lumps are patches of skin that occur due to the thickening and swelling of the skin. Breast lumps is a very common phenomenon for women but that does not always lead to a breast cancer; however, frequent and reoccurring instances of the same increases the risk of breast cancer. A breast lump is easily identifiable through the naked eye as it looks different from the surrounding tissues.
2. Blood discharges - The nipple is one of the most sensitive areas in the human body. In case of women, it is meant to emit milk during pregnancy, in order to feed the infant externally. A probable symptom of breast cancer can also be a frequent discharge of blood from the nipple without any visible damage or injury.
3. Breast changes - If you are experiencing any visible changes in the size, appearance or shape of the breast, then it is an indicative sign that you may have breast cancer. Thus, it is of paramount importance that you observe, touch and physically examine your breast regularly for changes. If there is any major change detected then it is advisable to consult a doctor.
4. Inverted nipple - The tip of the nipple is generally bulging and pointing outwards both in cases of men and women. But sometimes the tip of the nipple is pushed inside due to excessive suction caused by the skin tissues present inside the breast around the nipple area. This suction forces the nipple to grow inwards which is abnormal and might harm the breast and skin in various ways.
However, apart from these main symptoms, some other signs are also there that increase your chances of being diagnosed with breast cancer. They are redness or pitting of the skin over your breast like an orange, peeling or scaling of the pigmented area around the nipple, dimpling of the skin on the breasts, and such others.
It's wonderful what, a number of women disregard home remedies for glowing skin for transient arrangements like face peels, botox, laser treatment and even costly and agonizing face lifts. But in reality , nothing is more beneficial for your skin over natural remedies for glowing skin. Here are three of the absolute best home remedies to get glowing skin.
- Honey and lemon face pack: This facial pack gives you a perfect skin at home effectively. Blend honey and lemon juice in equivalent quantity and apply it on the face. Wash it off after 20 minutes. This pack will enhance your skin tone.
- Banana and milk cream: For dry skin, peeling and flakiness is a typical issue. To get flawless and glowing skin and to sustain the dryness this face mask will be the best treatment. Cut of a banana and crush it well. Include some milk cream in that crushed banana pulp and apply on the face. Sit tight for 60 minutes and wash it off.
- Sugar and honey face scrub: Face scrub can make the skin smoother by getting rid of the dead skin layer on the surface. A clear spotless skin is important for a flawless facial skin. Mix honey and sugar. Use that to scrub the face.
- Rose water and sandalwood: Sandalwood has been utilized as a part of excellence since ages as it help the skin to revive. Sandalwood likewise makes the skin appearance lighter and help you get a glowing skin. Rose water lightens up the skin for a smooth glowing face.
- Paste of curd, tomato juice and oatmeal: Blend curd, tomato juice and oatmeal to make a paste. Apply it on the face and abandon it for no less than 15 minutes. Wash it off with icy water and see the results.
- Fuller's earth and Potato juice: Potato juice is perfect for lightening the marks and blemishes on face. Take some potato juice and utilize that juice to make a glue like paste of fuller's earth (multianimiti).
For some people, the simple act of walking can be very uncomfortable. This is because they may be suffering from a heel spur. Heel spurs are calcium deposits that cause a bony protrusion on the underside of the heel bone. Heel spurs themselves may be painless but walking or jogging can make the person like a knife or pin is sticking into his or her sole. This may also be felt while standing up after being seated for a long time. Heel spurs do not heal on resting and usually need medical attention. Some ways of treating a heel spur are-
Stretching Exercises: Heel spur exercises help strengthen the tissue in the heel and increases the fascia and Achilles tendon flexibility. This, in turn, helps reduce the pain and prevents a recurrence of the condition. Try standing with both feet apart and flex your knees while squatting. Keep your heels on the ground for as long as possible.
Wearing The Right Shoes: Wearing shoes that do not fit well is one of the leading causes for heel spurs. When buying shoes look for a firm heel counter, a ¾-1 1/2 inch heel, a long vamp, semi-rigid or rigid shank and a toe box that is wide enough to accommodate your toes without pinching them.
Taping or Strapping to Rest Stressed Muscles and Tendons: Taping or strapping your foot tightly can help protect the fascia and allow the spur to heal. It also rests the muscles and tendons and distributes the pressure being put on them.
Shoe Inserts or Orthotic Devices: Using an insole can help cushion the heel and reduce the pain of a heel spur. It also reduces the impact felt while walking or standing.
Physical Therapy: Physiotherapy for heel spurs aims at strengthening the foot and calf muscles. Your doctor will try and gradually increase the possible range of motion and restore muscle control in the foot arch. You will also be taught how to improve your running and landing techniques.
Medication: Over the counter medication like ibuprofen may help temporarily ease the pain caused by heel spurs. In some cases, corticosteroid injections may also be prescribed to reduce the inflammation and pain.
- Surgery: If there is no improvement in a heel spur within 9 to 12 months, surgery may be considered to remove the spur or release the plantar fascia. However, this is rare and most heel spurs do not need surgery.
Healthy, glowing skin is what they call 'neighbour's envy, owner's pride'. Stop being jealous janet and get off your chair because you need to do a little homework to get that glowing skin. Some women look like they have inherited the glow without a day's work but in reality, good skin is a result of constant care and solutions that suit them right. Here are some fail proof techniques that women with great skin follow.
1. They cleanse it right: Cleansing the skin is almost done like a ritual. It has its set of rules which differ from skin to skin. As a base rule, women with good complexion do it at least twice a day - once in the morning and once before bed. It helps clear the oil, dirt, impurities and make up that clogs the pores and lets the skin breath. Use lukewarm water and a creamy cleanser. Let the cleanser sit on your skin for a minute while you gently rub it in before you wash off. This is one step women with good skin simply don't miss.
2. They remember their ctm: You know what the c stands for, now you need to follow it with a toning and moisturizing ritual to keep your skin soft and supple. Learn to differentiate between night and day moisturizers. You day moisturizer needs to contribute to your spf protection while your night moisturizer should be hydrating.
3. They use a good night cream: Night time is when your skin gets to relax and rejuvenate. Help this process by adding a good night cream to your daily ritual. A retinoid cream, for example, is a vitamin a derivative rich in collagen which helps in skin repair. They can also help reduce the occurrence of fine lines and pimples.
4. They work on their blemishes: Some have puffy eyes, others have dark circles or sun spots and may be even a couple of wrinkles here and there. But all these flaws can be steadily worked upon on a daily basis to reduce the skin problems and prevent appearance of new ones.
5. They follow the antioxidant mantra: Foods rich in omega 3 and antioxidant-rich foods like blueberries, green leafy veggies, and green tea help reduce the effects of aging to add a youthful glow to the skin.

Qimonda AG said that it has maintained liquidity since applying to open insolvency proceedings on January 23, 2009, thus fulfilling the requirement necessary in order to continue operation preliminarily. The company also indicated that the talks with potential investor are now intensified, which means that the company may be on track to be acquired.
At the same time, the Qimonda management and a team working for the preliminary insolvency administrator Dr. Michael Jaffé have been holding concrete discussions with numerous international interested parties. The aim is to have firm offers submitted as soon as possible.
Following successful mass production of the first generation of the innovative Buried Wordline technology at the Dresden facility, the 46nm generation is now to be made ready for production in collaboration with an investor, with mass production to begin in summer 2009. Furthermore, intensive work is being put into financing options which would allow production to also continue for a limited period of several months after March 31, 2009. This would aid the company in successfully concluding the process of finding an investor, providing concrete indications of interest have been made by the end of March. The sale of investments is being prepared in parallel with the search for investors in order to generate liquidity to continue running the core business.
Even if the search for an investor is successful, further restructuring measures and redundancies cannot be ruled out. Preliminary talks with the works councils in Dresden and Munich will begin this week in order to discuss the procedures for potential transitional or employee outplacement companies and support for the employees affected. The employees in Germany received statutory insolvency payments for the month of January in mid-February; the payment for the month of February is due in March. The employees are to receive salary payments from the statutory insolvency regime up to and including the month of March.
The company emphasises the special meaning Qimonda has for Germany as a high-tech location and is in continued negotiations with political decision makers in Saxony, Bavaria, Germany, Portugal and the European Union. The governments have signalled their willingness to participate in the financing if necessary, when Qimonda has found an investor for the company.
"Our business plan demonstrates the sustainability of Qimonda. Qimonda's leading position in the DDR3-technology was just recently confirmed by Intel. We have to keep this technology in Germany," said Kin Wah Loh, President and CEO of Qimonda AG.
A solution involving new investors must be found by end of March in order to assure the continuation of operations at Qimonda. No final decisions have yet been taken concerning the future structure of the company.
Since applying to open insolvency proceedings, the memory chip manufacturer has cut costs decisively and, with the agreement of the committee of creditors, focused the liquid funds. Meanwhile, the U.S. subsidiaries Qimonda North America Corp. and Qimonda Richmond LLC. filed for creditor protection under Chapter 11 on February 20, 2009 after both firms were sued for not providing severance payments to former employees.

CAE, Lider Begin S-92 Training in Brazil
Source: Linder Aviacao
CAE and Brazil-based Lider Aviacao launched a new helicopter pilot training program in Sao Paulo for operators of the S-92 Sikorsky aircraft. The S-92 training program is an extension of the joint venture between CAE and Lider, and will support flight training for all of Lider's S-92 pilots. Training will also be provided to other helicopter operators, including operators serving the growing demand for transportation in the offshore oil and gas fields of Brazil.
The CAE 3000 Series Level D full-flight simulator (FFS) is expected to enter training in mid-2014 and will be available to provide both initial and recurrent training for all S-92 variants at CAE's training center near Sao Paulo's Congonhas downtown airport. Training programs offered will include a turnkey 'wet' solution with simulator training delivered by qualified instructors as well as advanced classroom training and brief-debrief capabilities. Alternately, operator-led 'dry' training is also available.

Plant-ballfield plan is dropped
By THERESA BLACKWELL
Published May 26, 2007
EAST LAKE - Seven weeks after Pinellas County Administrator Steve Spratt suggested that a water-blending plant site in the Brooker Creek Preserve might also be used for ballfields, the county has dropped the notion.
The reason: The County Commission signaled this week that it backs a plant plan leaving no room for ballfields at the 46-acre Trinity Boulevard site.
As a result, the county has withdrawn a request to change the site's land use designation so that ballfields might be allowed alongside a water blending plant, officials said Thursday.
That means the East Lake Youth Sports Association remains in limbo about where it will be allowed to build ballfields for its popular programs.
Some Trinity area residents are relieved.
"We could see the need for water, " said John Fernandez, president of the adjoining Bellerive at Fox Hollow subdivision's homeowners association. "But open air recreation - that would have gone beyond the pale."
Pinellas County Utilities officials had promised Trinity homeowners that they would be good neighbors, planting shrubbery to screen sight of the facility and taking measures to muffle sound. So Fernandez said neighbors were mollified.
But active recreation in the northern portion of the Brooker Creek Preserve struck a nerve.
"We all have a problem with the preserve being used for anything other than what it is - a preserve, " he said. "If you change one area to active recreation, what's next?"
Another controversial request for a land use change to allow the East Lake Youth Sports Association to build ballfields on a 38.5-acre site in the preserve on Old Keystone Road is still in process. County planning staff will hear that request June 18.
Also at the County Commission workshop on Tuesday, county staff raised the possibility of a half-dozen other options for locating ballfields in North Pinellas County on school, government or private property. The commission ordered that those options be investigated.
Theresa Blackwell can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 727 445-4170.
IF you go
Preserve hearing will be June 18
The second hearing on a land use change to allow ballfields on 38.5 acres of the Brooker Creek Preserve on Old Keystone Road will be held before the Local Planning Agency at 4 p.m. on June 18. The meeting will be held in the seventh-floor planning department conference room, 600 Cleveland St., Clearwater. But as the date approaches, recheck the meeting location on the county's Web site, www.pinellascounty.org/Plan/default.htm or call (727) 464-8200.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (18 votes).
In short: A novel eventt hat will pave the way for similar eventsIn full: Very generous budget that red bull had for this event made it very worth while - think we were priveledged being the effective guinea pigs for this event. High calibre field....free bar and bbq at the end was a touch of genius. Well done open adventure and red bull.Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: ouchIn full: red bull gives you blisters, brutal hills, burning calves,sore knees and a massive grin on your face this race was extreme in every sense. please do this again it was superb brilliant organisation incredibly generous and ended with my two favorite words FREE BAR Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Brutal brutal brutalIn full: Hardest run I have ever done. I am not a slow runner (sub-3 marathon, 1:20 HM) but I ran this at 10 minute-mile pace to mile 18.5 (knocked out in edale) and was DELIGHTED by this '"slow" time. It was ridiculously tough-hilly, muddy and no area you could get a rhythm. At midday I was never running again. 9 hours later, I'm looking to sign up next year!Organisation was amazing and the scenery was awesome (I'm biased as I'm local, but it was stunning). Good stuff. Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Big hills and big mud...In full: I thought we had hills down south but nothing like this. A great race in a gorgeous part of the country. The knockout idea is good but I was convinced I'd be out at 8 miles (I was) so it was more about the experience. It didn't fail to deliver from that first brutal climb through the mud, past the fabulous dam and more (I'm sure speedier people got to see even more scenery, I ended up on the coach back.) Bit of a walk back to the car from the finish but apart from that, really well organised and a bumper goody bag too. Only gripe is the people who didn't turn up for whatever reason. A shame really as it deprived others of the chance to run and might have bulked out the numbers in the middle and at the back (where I was.) But it was their loss...Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: flawless, steep and a good mix of peopleIn full: Very unique race, you have to do some serious hill training or be a natural mountain goat. Very disappointed that only half the ladies bothered to turn up it was only open to people who was selected. So it seemed very unfair to others who wanted and would of done it. Please redbull do it next year!!!!Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: What a brutal event, but great concept and great location.In full: The hills were extreme, but the scenery made up for that. The hog roast, chocolate brownies and free bar at the end, along with hoodie made this a bargin event. My legs are so sore already though!Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Apologies re blue john!In full: Just looked in goodie bag again and found the 'blue john' was actually a note pad. Sorry about previous comments (before I get reported)!Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Absolutely fantastic - thank you Red BullIn full: Glorius scenery. Excellent organisation. tremendous VFM: great hoodie, sweat towel, food and drinks at the finish (including alcoholic drinks). Not sure about the blue john, but represents the area, so was a nice touch I suppose. Not for the squeamish though - it's a very tough race.Date of review: October 7, 2012

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (98 votes).
In short: Loved it - even with the bottle neckIn full: Okay the bottle neck was frustrating, and it did ruin my time, but the course and the people made up for it. It was great fun and the marshalls were so lovely. I prefer races filled with mixed abilities so this was a definite winner for me. Will be back next yearDate of review: April 23, 2009
In short: Really nice race, great to see stadium, but bottleneck and walking was awful!In full: I really enjoyed the race, and it was fantastic to run alongside the semi-constructed stadium.The bottleneck and single file walking was awful though... putting a bit of a dent in any pb times. Still, I'm sure the otherwise excellent organisers can fix it for next year. I would definitely run it again.ThanksDate of review: April 20, 2009
In short: Lovely race - super friendly marshalls - terrible parkingIn full: Good race, friendly people, nice route... but terrible pre-race organisation. Directions in the race materials were misleading and parking was a nightmare. It took us an hour to find a spot - which meant we started the race half an hour late (by which time they'd removed the chip sensor at the start). We'd definitely do it again - but next time we'll jump on the tube!Date of review: April 20, 2009
In full: This was special as it was the first Newham Classic 10k. Great atmosphere at the beginning with Tessa Sanderson. The course was interesting and picturesque in parts - taking you up to the impressive building site of the Olympic Stadium and through West Ham Park. Enthusiastic public support throughout the course. Narrow for the first 10k with cones keeping it so, but then pb possibilities as it is a flat course. Communication was poor.I came 2nd 45+ vet and asked if there was a prize and was told no by one organiser. Went home and e-mailed the race director to be told that in fact I had won £70 prize money.Date of review: April 20, 2009
In short: Not bad bar the problem leading to the Olyimpic StadiumIn full: Was my first run on 2009 and I enjoyed it. Thought the set up was pretty good considering it was the first time the event had been staged.I was near the front so didn't have the problem at the bridge at 2k but when I came back on myself after viewing the stadium I could see the pile up, I wouldn't have been happy had I been cought up in it!! Still I'm sure this will be sorted for next year as building work improves around the site.Great PB course for runners as it's a very flat course though some runners may have missed out on this because of the congestion at the bridge which is a shame. Didn't think many people turned out to watch though which is a shame.As people have mentioned the stewards were very good in helping people along. Could have done with distance markers every 1k so runners could assess how they were doing, started every 2k and then every one from 7k onwards I think.Certainly has the organisation behind it with a few teething problems but I think they will be sorted for next year.Date of review: April 20, 2009
In short: Brilliant. The atmosphere was fantastic, Thank you Newham.Date of review: April 20, 2009
In short: Very friendly run - excellent atmosphereIn full: It was great to have the opportunity to run past the stadium and I would be really interested to see how it has progressed this time next year. It was very well marshalled and the marshalls were great - really supportive and cheering us on. The atmosmphere was excellent.There could be a few tweaks for next year. There didn't seem to be any time markers at the start so people started all over the place and the narrow path going towards the stadium meant that we had to actually stop and go through very slowly, probably adding an extra 2 minutes to the finish time. It was also a bit chaotic at the finish.I'm looking forward to coming back next year. Date of review: April 20, 2009
In short: This was my first race and I was glad it was this oneDate of review: April 20, 2009
In short: A very average race, although great organisation.In full: The race at best was average, the queue for the foot tunnel was very annoying, a huge bottleneck leaving many people walking and probably added two minutes to my race time! Marshalling was super, very uplifting. a few not so pleasant locals calling out and heckling. Date of review: April 20, 2009
In short: Great atmosphere.Date of review: April 20, 2009

Fire strikes new west side restaurant
Blaze will delay opening for a few days
MADISON, Wis. - Madison fire officials said a fire on Madison's west side late Wednesday caused about $20,000 in damage to a restaurant set to open next week.
Firefighters responded to a fire at KJ's Curry Bowl in the 7000 block of Tree Lane at 8:25 p.m. Wednesday. Flames weren't visible when the crew arrived, but firefighters did see heavy smoke inside the restaurant.
Firefighters forced entry through the front door and found a fire in the kitchen area, although sprinklers were already active and keeping the fire under control. Firefighters put out the fire in about five minutes.
There was no one in the restaurant when the fire began, and no one was injured.
Fire officials said the restaurant was scheduled to open on Sunday. However, Public Health Madison and Dane County will now have to inspect the restaurant before the new business can open.

Los Santos International Airport
Redirected from Los Santos International Airport in GTA SA
this wiki
|For the airport in Grand Theft Auto V, see Los Santos International Airport (HD Universe).
The Los Santos International Airport (LSX) is an airport featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, based on the real-life Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). LSX is located at the southern end of Los Santos.
The airport is stated as being the fourth-busiest airport in the world. The airport was originally built as an airfield for the Los Santos Air National Guard. In 1942, it was converted for commercial flights. The airport is made up of five gates that are connected by a U-shaped two-level main terminal.[1] The airport is located on the freeway, but there are also direct road links to the city centre.
There is always a Shamal and a Dodo parked at the airport, with Baggage carts and Tugs, either parked or being driven around, often alongside other vehicles. The player can purchase Juank Air flights to and from Las Venturas Airport and Easter Bay International Airport for $500.
Getting Onto the Runway
Technically, the player cannot access the runway area or the aircraft prior to completing Flight School and obtaining a pilot's licence. However it is possible to enter the runway area prior to this from the very start of the game.
The most common method is to park a vehicle next to the entrance gate (where the message indicating forbidden entry is shown), climbing onto the car and scrambling over the fence. It is possible then to open the gate from inside and access any vehicles the player may wish to take inside (such as a bike to complete the two unique stunt jumps inside the gates).
An alternative method is to park a bike near the gate, carjack a Packer when it drives by, and use the Packer as a ramp to jump into the runway area (with the potential of an insane stunt bonus).
An easier and better method than the above, is to sprint, jump and grab hold of the roof of the security building, without using a vehicle. Then the player can climb onto the building and walk into the runway area.
Once inside, the player should find at least one flyable aircraft (this is not the case at the Easter Bay and Las Venturas airports where all aircraft are locked until Flight School is completed or a pilot's licence is obtained. However, if the player flies to LVX, the AT-400 will be automatically unlocked.). Flying the aircraft for a certain length of time will result in the player obtaining a pilot's licence, unlocking all the airports. However, in order for the storyline to progress, the flight school missions must still be completed.
Note: although it's a restricted area, entering the runway area of Los Santos International or of any of the airports does not result in a wanted level for Carl (unless Carl flies into Easter Bay or Las Venturas before those regions are unlocked).
Weapons and Pickups
- Two Gang Tags
- Three Unique stunt jumps (two of which are located behind the gates to the runway)
- Los Santos International Airport is the only airport in the game that is not featured in a mission. Easter Bay International Airport was featured in the missions Ran Fa Li and Mike Toreno, and the Las Venturas Airport was featured in the missions Freefall, Dam and Blast and Saint Marks Bistro.
- The runways are also a great place for testing the speeds of cars and performing stunts. There are many ramps at the ends of runways. Also, there are slanted, rectangular, platforms in between the runways. There are 3 sets of them, and provided they have a great car and room to gain speed, the player can reach jump distances of around 250+ feet, depending on the vehicle used.
- The ramps at both ends of the runway can be used to recover the aeroplane from crashing if it has not reached the proper speed for a takeoff. They can also be used when landing if the player has not slowed down enough, although this may result in the aircraft exploding. They are also a quick exit if you are using a car inside the airport.
- When entering the airport via the gate, the security guard will make comments such as "They'll give a pilot's licence to anybody these days." or "Pilots are looking younger these days!". Conversely, if the player attempts to enter the airport without a pilot's licence, the security guard will say "Only people holding a valid pilot's licence may enter".
- If the player fatally shoots the security guard, his body will disappear instead of staying on the ground like if a standard NPC were killed.
- The airport is the only airport in San Andreas to feature two active runways. Both of the runways are 700 metres long and connect to one another at one end.
- It is possible in rare occasions to destroy or critically damage Police Mavericks by launching a car off the ramps on the runway median and colliding with the low flying helicopters.
- No aircraft ever takes off or lands in this airport, despite the fact that many different planes can be seen flying over various parts of San Andreas.
- Los Santos International Airport features the exact same terminal roof-art work as Francis International Airport in Liberty City, when the artwork is supposed to be exclusive to Los Santos International Airport.

If you got passed over in that last round of promotions, say veteran managers Joe and Bob Azelby, you can probably blame your 'but.' That's the little word in the middle of the sentence when people describe you at the office, as in: "Jane is a great saleswoman, but she gets so stressed out." Or: "Beth has amazing vision, but she can't keep track of details."
"Everybody has a 'but.' The key is to know what yours is and work on making it smaller," says Bob, who's spent decades managing hundreds of people at California biotech giant Amgen. (Joe currently manages a team of more than 400 as CEO of JP Morgan Asset Management's Global Real Asset Group.) Their new book, "Kiss Your 'But' Good-Bye: How to Get Beyond the One Word that Stands Between You and Success," is an admittedly punny (yet no-nonsense) guide to doing just that. Bob gave us a preview.
DailyWorth: Why write this book?
Bob Azelby: My brother and I have more than 40 years of collective experience in progressively larger management roles for two very large Fortune 500 companies. We noticed that a lot of corporate HR programs focus on playing to your strength. But when we're in a room talking about whether someone can move up, that's not what's discussed. The conversation quickly goes to what the person struggles with, why they can't get to the next level. Yet we rarely have candid conversations about these things. We thought, 'If we can get people talking about what's really holding them back, we can really help.'
So if you're not getting promoted, it's your own fault? That's tough stuff.
Both my brother and I see a lot of folks blaming other things for why their careers aren't progressing. They blame management, nepotism, they get mad at the organization. That may make you feel good, but it's really your performance relative to your peers that's holding you back. And the only way to move your career forward is to [work on] your shortcomings.
What's the biggest problem people have confronting their 'buts'?
Just acknowledging how big their 'but' is and how it's really impacting other people that they work with. Most people walk around thinking, 'Hey, no one's telling me about it; therefore, I must be doing well.'
Keep reading for more on how to overcome your 'but.'

Marketing budgets are rebounding. They are expected to increase 6.7% in the next twelve months according to the February 2014 edition of The CMO Survey. This is a sizable increase over projected increases of 4.3% in August 2013 and a massive boost over the 0.5% increase reported in February 2009. Bounce!
To put these figures in perspective, The CMO Survey reports that marketing budgets represent approximately 10.9% of overall firm budgets. These figures have hovered around this average since this question was first asked in February 2011. On the other hand, marketing budgets as a percent of firm revenues improved to 9.3% from 7.9% in 2013 indicating that marketing budget growth outpaced revenue growth. One question that survey users often ask about these figures is whether or not they include salaries for marketing employees. Analysis indicates that these marketing spend estimates include both employee and non-employee investments in marketing.
I examined all three marketing spending metrics across several firm and industry characteristics. These are summarized in Tables 1-3. As shown in Table 1 across these three indicators, B2C-Product companies have the largest marketing budgets (as a percent of budgets and revenues) and the largest expected growth in marketing budgets across the four economic sectors. I expected a large increase over the B2B companies which may be reaching customers with their own or their channel's salesforce. However, I did not expect to find B2C-Product companies also dominating B2C-Service companies by 20-30% differences. Would love to hear from marketing leaders in this sector about this differential.

My German Nail Polish Buys!
- by Playing with Polish
My husband and I just got back from a two week trip to Germany, Austria and Italy. We visited friends in Munich, and traveled a bit in the surrounding area. Of course I wanted to buy some nail polish while we were in Europe! I asked my friend if there were any special polish I should look for while we were there. She told me she would much rather buy polish in the US! Most of what I saw was the same things that are available in the US such as Chanel, OPI and Essie. The only difference I could see was higher prices. However, I did spot a few things I hadn't seen before. I did grab a couple of those at Müller (drugstore) and a few more at Karstadt (department store). One interesting thing I noted was that I saw some drugstore type polishes at the department store and vice versa. The product mix was certainly not the same as in the US. We had a lot of fun shopping though, and both Munich and Salzburg had amazing luxury shopping! Salzburg's old town was especially amazing with all of the old buildings and narrow winding streets.

Topic: List of all different CSS functions?
Hi, I was wondering if there was a site with a list of ALL CSS functions? I thought I found one, but it was only the basics. And I've read a lot of books on it, and only recently i found one site that mentioned 'scrollbar-base-color'. Since there are many of these hidden little functions, I was wondering if there was a site that contains them all ?? Thank you!

Team USA Defeats Japan in Olympic Women's Indoor Opener
Bill Kauffman
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: 719-228-6800
E-Mail: email@example.com
BEIJING (Aug. 9, 2008) – Playing with heavy hearts in a difficult situation, the U.S. Olympic Women's Indoor Volleyball Team defeated Japan 25-20, 20-25, 25-19, 25-21 in its opening match of the 2008 Olympic Games at Beijing's Capital Indoor Stadium Saturday night.
Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.), playing in her fourth Olympic Games, led Team USA with 22 points. She scored 16 kills on 23 swings to go with a match-high six blocks. Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.) added 14 kills, four blocks and an ace for 19 points. Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) charted 15 points with 12 kills on 20 attacks to go with three blocks. Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) contributed 12 points in the victory.
Kim Willoughby (Napoleonville, La.), playing in her first Olympics, tallied 11 points in the victory, including nine kills on 16 attempts with just two errors. Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.), also playing in her first Olympics, totaled four points. Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) rounded out scoring with an ace.
Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) totaled 14 digs to lead the U.S. in the backrow, while Robyn Ah Mow-Santos handed out 21 assists during the match. Tom provided a 66.7 excellent service reception percent on 36 attempts, while Davis had seven excellent receptions on 10 errorless attempts.
Earlier today, Elisabeth "Wiz" Bachman, a 2004 Olympian with the women's indoor volleyball team and wife of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Men's Indoor Volleyball Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon, was sight-seeing with her father and mother at the Drum Tower in Beijing when a lone assailant attacked and killed her father and severely injured her mother requiring surgery. (for full release, please visit www.usocpressbox.org)
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Wiz, but until we have a chance to talk to her, that is all we are going to say," Ah Mow-Santos said speaking on behalf of the players at the post-match press conference. "Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family."
U.S. Olympic Women's Indoor Team Head Coach "Jenny" Lang Ping discussed the attack affecting the entire USA Volleyball family during the post-match press conference.
"We had a very difficult situation," Lang Ping said. "I told the players to concentrate on the game, the game always goes on. We have to be strong and make sure we play our game and play for the USA. We were lucky because there were many supporters behind us. We would like to thank them for that.
"We were shocked. Most of the players called their parents. We were supposed to have a technical meeting but I cancelled it to give them more time. I told my players to be strong, we have a lot of fans. I told them we have to show spirit and I know it's difficult for players to deal with this so quickly. We had three hours to deal with everything.
"In our lives there are a lot of things we cannot control. The thing we can control is ourselves. It's a difficult time. It's the first time in my life I've been in this kind of situation before a game. I have to be strong and patient first so that I can let the players get over it and cheer for them and help them."
The U.S. held advantages over Japan in each of the three scoring areas. The Americans tallied 64 kills to Japan's 49, while putting up a 17-10 block margin. Team USA recorded three aces to Japan's two. Japan benefited from 24 errors by the U.S. while limiting its own miscues to 11 other than blocked attacks. The U.S. out-dug Japan 64-61 in a show of defense with several long rallies with spectacular saves.
The U.S. jumped to a 6-2 lead in the opening set as Scott-Arruda scored three early kills to set the tone before Japan inched to within one at 9-8. Team USA scored five of six points to take an 18-12 advantage and went on to win the opening set 25-20.
Japan never trailed in the second set. After falling behind 10-6, the U.S. rallied to within one at 19-18 with four points on Willoughby's serve. However, Japan scored the final four points of the set to win 25-20.
The third set had 15 ties and three lead changes. Japan led 17-15 before Glass and Tom connected for kills to tie the set. The two teams traded points through 19-19 sending Berg to the service line following a Bown kill. Bown scored three points during a set-ending 7-0 run, including two blocks. Tom added two kills during the run.
Team USA trailed 15-10 in the fourth set before the Americans put together a run to close to within one at 15-14 as Tom scored an ace around kills from Haneef-Park and blocks from Bown and Berg. Japan regained a three-point cushion at 18-15, only to have Scott-Arruda collect a kill and two blocks to knot the set at 18-all. Tom scored consecutive blocks to yield a 23-21 American advantage. After a Japanese error, Willoughby ended the match with a block at 25-21.
Team USA started Ah Mow-Santos at setter, Scott-Arruda and Bown at middle blocker, Tom and Willoughby at outside hitter and Haneef-Park at opposite. Berg entered as a sub in the second and third sets, while starting the final set. Glass started the final two sets in place of Willoughby after subbing in the second set. Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) was a sub in the second and fourth sets.
Saori Kimura paced Japan with 15 points, while Erika Araki added 14 points. Sachiko Sugiyama contributed 11 points in the loss, while Megumi Kurihara and Miyuki Takahashi each racked up 10 points.
The Americans, looking to reach the Olympic medal stand for the first time since 1992 (bronze in 1992, silver in 1984) face NORCECA rival Cuba on Aug. 11 at 12:30 p.m. at the Capital Indoor Stadium. Team USA plays its only match at the Beijing Institute of Technology Gymnasium on Aug. 13 versus Venezuela at noon. The U.S. challenges China on Aug. 15 at the Capital Indoor Stadium at 8 p.m. before concluding pool play on Aug. 17 versus Poland at 12:30 p.m. at the Capital Indoor Stadium.

The U.S. is part of Pool A with host China, Cuba, Japan, Poland and Venezuela. Pool B consists of Algeria, Brazil, Italy, Kazakhstan, Russia and Serbia. The top four teams in both round-robin preliminary pool advance to the quarterfinals on Aug. 19 with the winner of each pool facing the fourth-place team in the opposite pool.

Sweet Strawberry Tartlets
- 1 1/2 cups hulled quartered strawberries
- 1/2 cup sugar, plus 3 tablespoons
- 5 ounces Maria crackers* (about 1 pack or 32 crackers), or graham crackers
- 1/4 cup, packed minced piloncillo** (about 2 ounces), or packed brown sugar
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 (8-ounce) bars cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 envelope whipping powdered topping (about 1/4 cup powder)
- 6 individual tart tins with removable bottoms or 1 (9-inch) tin
- Nonstick cooking spray
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Mix the strawberries and 3 tablespoons of the sugar in a small bowl. Let the strawberries macerate at room temperature for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange 6 individual tartlet pans with removable bottoms on a baking sheet. Spray the tartlet pans with nonstick cooking spray. Blend the Maria crackers and the piloncillo in a processor until coarse crumbs form. Add the butter and process until the crumbs come together. Press the crumbs into the prepared tartlet pans. Bake until the tartlet shells are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cool completely.
Using an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese and the sour cream in a small bowl, until fluffy. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and whip until well combined. Add the whipping powdered topping and whip until very fluffy. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the macerating liquid from the strawberries. Fold the strawberries and the reserved 2 tablespoons of liquid into the cream mixture. Spoon the filling over the tartlets, dividing equally. Tarts can be prepared 1 day ahead, covered and refrigerated.
*Cook's Note: Maria Crackers (Galletas Marias) are a round sweet biscuit with vanilla flavor. They are the Mexican version of the English Marie biscuit and can be used in layered deserts as you would with lady fingers. They can easily be substituted with graham crackers.
**Cook's Note: Piloncillo is often used in Mexican cuisine to sweeten drinks or deserts. It is unrefined cane sugar, usually found in the shape of small cones and can be substituted with brown sugar.

5 Stocks Poised to Pop on Bullish Earnings
This is why I scan the market for heavily shorted stocks that are about to report earnings. You only need to find a few of these stocks in a year to help enhance your portfolio returns -- the gains become so outsized in such a short time frame that your profits add up quickly.
>>4 Reasons to Buy Stocks in 2013
That said, let's not forget that stocks are heavily shorted for a reason, so you have to use trading discipline and sound money management when playing earnings short-squeeze candidates. It's important that you don't go betting the farm on these plays and that you manage your risk accordingly. Sometimes the best play is to wait for the stock to break out following the report before you jump in to profit off a short squeeze. This way, you're letting the trend emerge after the market has digested all of the news.
Of course, sometimes the stock is going to be in such high demand that you risk missing a lot of the move by waiting. That's why it can be worth betting prior to the report -- but only if the stock is acting technically very bullish and you have a very strong conviction that it is going to rip higher. Just remember that even when you have that conviction and have done your due diligence, the stock can still get hammered if The Street doesn't like the numbers or guidance.
>>5 Stocks Showing Major Breakouts
If you do decide to bet ahead of a quarter, then you might want to use options to limit your capital exposure. Heavily shorted stocks are usually the names that make the biggest post-earnings moves and have the most volatility. I personally prefer to wait until all the earnings-related news is out for a heavily shorted stock and then jump in and trade the prevailing trend.
With that in mind, here's a look at several stocks that could experience big short squeezes when they report earnings this week.
>>5 Stock Charts You Need to See Annie's
My first earnings short-squeeze play is manufacturer and marketer of natural and organic foods Annie's (BNNY) , which is set to release numbers on Monday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Annie's to report revenue of $36.60 million on earnings of 14 cents per share.

yes...but there was a lenny at the other board who recently joined up who typed in all caps....anyhow, I love a good mystery! Like, why is Paul with that Heather woman anyhow? she must be a minx in bed! lol
Somebody on here claimed that Paul told a journalist that he was very satisfied with her in that area, but several of us, myself included, doubt the validity of this tale - as Paul is hardly the person to say things like that!
The difference between genius and insanity is merely the difference between success and failure.

Another week of baseball, another week of injury updates. Take a look at some big names that may or may not be able to help your fantasy cause for this week.
1B, Paul Konerko/Chicago White Sox: After being hit by a pitch on his left calf during Sunday's game, Paul Konerko was removed from the lineup and given the rest of the day off. After X-rays were taken, only a bruise was revealed. Consider the injury minor and expect to see Pauli back in the White Sox lineup on Monday, at home, against the New York Yankees; a series in which Ozzie Guillen will most assuredly want Konerko to be a part of.

J. Lo Back On The Block….With Another Man?
Jennifer Lopez is in Atlanta where cameras caught her with Rodrigo Santoro. Why did they catch her with Rodrigo? Because they are filming a movie together entitled "What To Expect When You're Expecting" due out next year.
It did not take Jennifer too long to get back to work after celebrating her birthday bikini style earlier this week. We hear Jennifer is just throwing herself into her work and just concentrating on that. It was just earlier this month that Jennifer filed for divorce from her husband Marc Anthony.
Whatever makes J. Lo happy...and we have a feeling working more and thinking less is the right thing.-Dr.FB
Diagnosis: Still Jenny From The Block
