Recording Yourself for Critiques
Hey All,
It's still only August but I'm already thinking about getting my ish together so that I can be prepared for this upcoming season. A little bit about myself before I start with my questions: I ride mostly on the east coast, started 2 seasons ago (going into my 3rd) and have about 20 days of riding under my belt. I've been out to Vail and Breck over the past two years and have made it an annual thing to hit up the west coast for riding, so that type of all mountain terrain is what I'm trying to develop my skills for. I'd really like to succesfully ride down a mogul runs and tree runs this year if I can. But I'm also very aware that I could have really basic things I need to improve on so if you guys all come back and tell me I'm not ready for tough runs, I at least know where I stand.
So basically my question is, how should I go about recording myself while I ride so that helplful people such as yourselves are able to critique me better? I'm wondering things like:
1) What kind of camera do most people use (gopro?)
2) Should I have someone else record me while I ride? Or use that stick thing that people look like they're holding to record themselves? (what is that by the way)
3) Is it more beneficial to provide videos of me just riding easier runs so you can criticize really basic stuff, or is a wide variety of slopes better?
4) What view is the best angle for people critiquing? Full body from behind? From the side?
I'm really looking to make significant improvements this year and will probably take a lesson or two, but I'm not rich and this forum is easily the best place for constructive criticizm so I thought investing in a camera/making videos would be worth it.
Thanks! Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!
You are asking excellent questions. Its an eye opening experience to see yourself snowboard. I will give my personal take.
I am going to answer your questions out of order.
4) The best angle is all of the above. It is beneficial to see your self from the front /side / behind. Different perspectives can give you a lot of different insight into your riding. It is very hard to accurately critique from a "POV" with like a helmet cam or holding a gopro on a stick.
2) I think the best way to get good video for movement analysis / critiquing is to have someone recording you riding down a slope from a static position (Your friend rides down stops and records you riding down and past the camera). Think about it. If someone is standing still recording you they will capture all of the angles you want. As you are riding down the slope they will capture a front on perspective, as you ride past the camera they will capture the side perspective, and as you keep riding past they will record you from behind. Holding the camera on a stick makes a cool looking video. Personally I dont think its that useful for analysis.
1) I bought a gopro last year on proform. its a sweet camera especially for the stick type video or POV. I found that it is lacking when it comes to getting good video from a stationary perspective (having a friend go ahead stop and video tape you riding down the mountain). Since the gopro doesnt have an active zoom (and the best lens mode is wide angle) you get only a very short segment of video that's useful for analysis. Unless you are really close to the camera you will appear very small in the frame making it hard to really use the clip for analysis. I am personally going to buy a true HD camcorder this season that has image stabilization and a nice optical zoom and 60fps recording (they can be very affordable). I think this is the best way to go if you are looking to get good quality video for movement analysis purposes. If I didn't get the gopro for half off I wouldn't have bought it. I don't think they are worth the 300 dollar price tag just my 2 cents.
3) You should do all of the above. I think the toughest part is getting friends to go ride with you who are interested in doing Movement Analysis. Most of my friends just want to "ride" or "ski", so they arn't really interested in stopping to take video.
Getting good video of yourself is a great way to improve your technique.
To answer your questions:
1.) Most people use a gopro because it is rugged, has an outer shell that protects the cam from the elements, and it shoots a pretty good video :thumbsup: Contour HD, ect will also work, but GoPro made a name for themselves, and the "Pros" love using them for SPECIFIC POV (point of view)
When you are watching a snowboarding DVD or movie back in the day, they are using high quality dedicated video cameras in specially built housing for the camera to protect against the elements. What you don't know is that the cost of those cameras were insane. Nowadays, you can get a Digital SLR with video capabilities, get a good lens on it, and you can really get some impressive shots... From personal Experiences learned however, Riding with a Digital SLR is not the smartest of things to do, as they dont take falls very well.
2 & 4.) Having someone ride behind/in front/side are all good angles. By doing multiple runs, we can edit and anayalze from multiple angles to critique your riding.
The pole you are referring to can be a monopod attached with the camera mount or, as a DIY project, you can size a metal broomstick from your local dollar store, cut it to fit, and then attach the camera mount to the other end of it. Simple search of google can provide DIY instructions.
3.) A good mixture of both. Show that you have the basics down first, then start to incorporate the more difficult tricks/tasks. Dont forget to get dynamic!
Hope this helps!
thanks for the responses guys. really appreciate the detailed feedback.
i guess i won't go for the gopro and i'll see if i can get a somewhat decent handheld camera that will be able to stand up to the elements a bit. i tried getting my gf to record me with her iphone once but it doesn't really work all that well. can't see enough detail to make out whether or not i'm doing anything right.
gonna do some camera research and hopefully in 5 months i'll be posting some videos to get some analysis help. thanks again!
I've used my cell phone to take video and that has worked well. Ive taken video of my kids to help show them what they are doing right or wrong. I have even posted those said videos to the forum for some of the.better riders help point out things I missed
So you don't need to spend money if you don't want to, to accomplish what you are trying to do.
thanks, slyder.
i think i'll try and give it another go with my phone first. maybe spend a little time trying to position myself better for better viewing angles and stuff. if for some reason that doesn't work, then i'll consider picking up a used camera or something.
thanks again guys!
inpj's you don't need super great angles and such. Sometimes just seeing it, you will pick out corrections that need to be made. At that point if you need more detail than go to that level.
I have been stationary and have followed from behind with my cell phone. It worked well enough to use.

Custom skis to benefit Leif Borgeson fundraiser
October 26, 2012
A fundraiser benefiting the family of one of Summit County's most memorable ski patrollers, Leif Borgeson, who died in February 2011 in Aspen, will extend through Nov. 1.
Rocky Mountain Underground designed a custom-made Leif Borgeson ski, which can be purchased for $799. All profits from the sale of the custom ski will go toward the college fund of Borgeson's two sons, Ian and Aidan.
"This is a ski made with exceptional quality," said Shawn Gorea, an organizer of the fundraiser. "We really want this to be huge because he was an amazing guy that left a lot behind – we want to support his family in any way that we can."
The custom skis can be purchased online through Rocky Mountain Underground's website. The commemorative equipment is also being offered to ski patrollers in the county for a discounted price.
The skis were designed with the personality and capabilities of Borgeson in mind, according to the design staff.
"People come from all over in the spring for the hiking terrain on The East Wall, and no better job for a patroller than putting in the staircase up Willie's Wide," said Matt Norfleet, designer of the custom ski. "Working this part of our terrain embodies what being on ski patrol at A-Basin is about, and we feel was possibly one of Leif's favorite places, so I thought it fitting to represent it on his ski."
Arapahoe Basin snow safety director, Borgeson passed away on Feb. 8, 2011, while hiking the ridge at the Aspen Highlands Bowl. Borgeson collapsed after the hike and was immediately attended to by Aspen Highlands patrol, but was unable to be resuscitated.
Borgeson worked at Arapahoe Basin starting in 1990, when he joined the ski patrol after patrolling at Keystone for several years. He held various positions, including medical coordinator, paramedic, snow safety supervisor and as snow safety director and served as a paramedic for Summit County Ambulance Service in the early 1990s.
"Leif was more than just a ski patroller at A-Basin, he was part of the A-Basin family," said Alan Henceroth, chief operating officer of the ski area.
Borgeson was instrumental in creating Arapahoe Basin's avalanche procedures and protocols and recognized nationally for his work on the study of avalanches, in particular wet slab avalanches. Between 2001-2004, he worked for the National Ski Patrol as their training director.
Before joining Keystone in the 1980s, he worked as a patroller in Arizona Snow Bowl and as a forest firefighter in Flagstaff, Ariz.

Arsène Wenger insists he will come through his latest dip in fortunes - just as he has before.
The Frenchman is preparing his side to face Blackburn Rovers at Emirates Stadium on Saturday as Arsenal look for their first win in five Premier League matches.
Wenger has been criticised in some quarters but he has experienced turbulent times before and is confident the team will emerge strongly again.
"Look, at the moment we are in the Champions League," he said. "And only Chelsea [of the other Premier League teams] are in it. And last year we were in four competitions and I had the same press conference - it was all doom and gloom. For the whole season.
"On the whole now it is the way it is but last year we were going in four competitions, which nobody has done for years now. The only questions I had were: 'If you do not make it', 'If you do not win', 'If you do not...'. It is like that.
"But we will try to do as well as we can. At the moment we play against AC Milan. Many people will watch it on television.
"I'm just worried to do as well as I can for this club, every day. I will let other people judge how good it is.
"At the moment it's a bit under scrutiny but it doesn't stop me from being as motivated as I've always been to do well for the Club. And to do well for the Club is to play the football I want to play and to win football games."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Newbie question
I've been reading for a few days and just joined today. I've been seriously shooting hand guns for about 10 years, but just bought a PSE Bruin last weekend. I have to go to an indoor gun range, but was able to set up a 25 yard archery range in my back yard. I have shot for 1/2 an hour every day after work for 12 days straight, and have been reading everything I can find on the internet. I just ordered two books today.
The archery shop wanted to sell me a release, but I couldn't fit it into the budget for now. The first day was bare fingers. The following week I wore soft work gloves. Two days ago I bought a leather tab.
My problem is that I lost all feeling in the end joint of my middle finger on the second day. The other fingers are fine. So far it hasn't returned even with the tab. It makes typing on the computer a really odd experience.
Is this a standard newbie problem and can I expect it to go away in a week or so? BTY, the bow was a birthday present for my 54th, and I have had tennis elbow problems for almost 20 years. I was concerned about that, but it has not been a problem.
Any advise will be appreciated.

Yeh, it's called finger pinch and it's caused by the acute string angle at full draw. I'm not familiar with the Bruin, but just about any bow shorter than 38" is going to create havoc with the fingers. This is especially true if you haven't shot before. The ole fingers need to be toughened up.
Frankly I'd suggest hanging it up for a short time till you can spring for a release. Life will be a lot easier and shots will be more accurate.
Bfisher is right. We are not saying cannot be accurate with fingers, you can. However, it is a lot easier to be accurate with a release than with fingers.
Any change in your finger pressure or how you release, will cause changes in your impact point. A release is a mechanical device and it releases the same way every time.Chris Christenson - Admin

Which one
So I guess I need to buy the release. I'm not going to ask which one to buy as there are so many and everyone has their own preference, but I will ask a couple of questions. I am shooting targets in my backyard and will not be hunting. I doubt I will be getting into competitions but it's not totally out of the question.
The "archery guy" at my local shop suggests a trigger finger release with a wrist strap. I've been shooting handguns on his range regularly for 10 years so he says this would be the best choice. Somewhere on the internet I read that the wriststrap is not a good idea. I didnt understand why, but it had to do with drawing the string back.
I've been watching some competition videos and see mostly the alumunium ones, but I "assume" they are the back tension release and I'm too new to grasp that yet.
Any suggestions on strap or not?
As a new shooter, a wrist strap style is a good choice. Just make sure you get a decent one. Plan on spending $50-65 for a good one. If you can get someone to show you the proper way to set the length on it. Make sure at full draw the trigger will be in the first knuckle of your finger. If the trigger sits on your finger tip, then it is too long.Chris Christenson - Admin

Scott's and TRU Ball make some great index finger releases...True Fire also has a few deceant one's out there...When checking them for length remember what Chris said on where it should fit in the first knuckle...This will help with punching and you will also as you get better with it. Be able to set it up as a back tension if you decieded to..

Thanks guys. I think I'm sold. I haven't shot a gun since buying my bow, so tomorrow I'm going to the range. I think I'll go ahead and buy a release while I'm there. I appreciate your help.

So just to complete this thread. My shop guy recommended a T shaped Tru-Ball Pro Diamond because I won't be hunting. Wow is there a learning curve with this. I still don't have full feeling in my finger yet, but it's slowly coming back. Now my arm is sore from this new position, but I'm sure time and practice will take care of that.
I'll be eating cheap lunches for awhile until I cover the cost of it though.

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 12:49am
(updated at noon with official GU announcement, see below) Multiple sources are telling Inside Lacrosse on Tuesday morning that Jacksonville head coach Matt Kerwick will be the new associate head coach at Georgetown, where he was an assistant from 1999-2001 under current head man Dave Urick, who coached Kerwick as a player at Hobart.
Kerwick, who went 11-17 in Jacksonville's first two DI seasons (including a 2010 win over Top 20 Denver), would replace Matt Rienzo, who moved on to a role as athletic administrator at the University of the District of Columbia in May. This would be Kerwick's seventh stop, following head-coaching stints at DIII Randolph-Macon and Alfred, seven seasons at Hobart and two at Jacksonville and assistant jobs at GU and Penn.
Calls to Kerwick and Georgetown sports information director Mex Carey were not immediately returned. Inside Lacrosse reported back in May that Kerwick was GU's top candidate to replace Rienzo.
The Hoyas enjoyed some of their greatest success with Kerwick as an assistant, including their only Final Four appearance in 1999. That year, the Hoyas' offense, led by Kerwick, ranked second in the nation in goals per game (14.69) and extra-man percentage (48.7%). Kerwick was the 1997 USILA Division III Coach of the Year while at Alfred.
Dave Urick just completed his 22nd season as head coach at GU, following 10 years as head coach at then-DIII Hobart. The Hoyas made the NCAA Tournament 11 straight years under Urick, before missing the postseason the last four seasons with a combined 32-23 record.
Official Release
Georgetown University Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Lee Reed announced today that Matt Kerwick has been named Associate Head Men's Lacrosse Coach.
"This was an important hire for us and we're excited to have Coach Kerwick back at Georgetown," Reed said. "Matt's intimate knowledge of our program and Georgetown University made him the right choice to fill this role. I see him as someone who would be well-positioned to continue the great tradition of success that we have created over the past 25 years."
Kerwick, a former Hoya assistant coach who has 16 years of collegiate experience, returns to the Hilltop after spending two years as the head coach at Jacksonville University in Florida.
"It's great to have Matt back on the Hilltop," Head Men's Lacrosse Coach Dave Urick said. "He brings Division I coaching experience and will be involved in helping to coach on both sides of the ball. Matt is the type of coach who is going to make an immediate impact."
"I'm excited to be back at Georgetown," Kerwick said. "I have a great amount of respect for Georgetown and for Coach Urick. It is a great opportunity to return to one of the top programs in college lacrosse."
Kerwick helped to build the Jacksonville program, which played its inaugural season at the Division I level in 2010. The Dolphins posted a 6-7 record in their first season in 2010, beating nationally-ranked, and 2011 Final Four participant, Denver for their first win. The Dolphins also recorded victories against other established programs such as Rutgers, Providence and Sacred Heart.
In 2011, Jacksonville moved from an independent to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and finished the season with a 5-10 overall record and a 3-3 mark in the conference.
One of the most experienced young coaches in the game, Kerwick went to Jacksonville with 13 years of head coaching experience at Randolph-Macon, Alfred and his alma mater, Hobart College, where he spent seven years.
During his time at Hobart, Kerwick led the Statesmen to the Patriot League championship in 2002 and two NCAA Tournament appearances (2002, 2004). After leading Hobart to the championship in 2002, he earned Patriot League Coach of the Year honors. Kerwick was also selected East Coast Athletic Conference "Co-Coach of the Year" in 2008 after guiding Hobart to an 8-6 record including a win over No. 15 Loyola (Md.).
Kerwick is currently ranked in the top 25 among active lacrosse coaches in both career wins and career winning percentage, sporting a 108-101 career record.
While known as an outstanding coach, Kerwick also had a stellar playing career at Hobart, playing under Urick. He was a first team All-America selection in 1990 and a second team All-America honoree in 1989. He earned NCAA Tournament MVP honors in 1989 while leading the Statesmen to the Division III national championship four straight years.
An all-around athlete, Kerwick was also a four-year letterwinner on the hockey team, serving as captain of both teams during his senior season. He finished his career by being named the William C. Stiles Award winner, presented to the Hobart senior student-athlete for leadership, determination and character.
Following his collegiate career, Kerwick played in the Major Indoor Lacrosse League from 1991 through 1996, earning the Baltimore Thunder's "Unsung Hero" award twice and was an All- Star selection in 1992.
Kerwick began his coaching career as the head coach at Randolph-Macon for three seasons before being named an assistant coach at the University of Pennsylvania. He revived the program at Randolph-Macon, leading the lead Yellow Jackets to a 27-14 record, at the time the three most successful seasons in the program's history.
After one season at Penn, Kerwick took the head coach position at Alfred University and in his three seasons he led the Saxons to the postseason each year, earning a spot in the 1997 NCAA Tournament field as well as berths in the 1996 and 1998 ECAC Upstate Tournament. Alfred was 25-17 (.595) in his three seasons. Following his 1996 Super Six Lacrosse League "Coach of the Year" Award, Kerwick was named the 1997 "Babe" Kraus Division III Coach of the Year.
Kerwick moved on from Alfred to Georgetown as an assistant coach. During his three seasons with the Hoyas, Kerwick helped lead the program to a 36-9 record and the Final Four in 1999 before returning to his alma mater as head coach.

Can Women Stop War?
A Special Panel Discussion
Moderated by Ambassador Swanee Hunt
Eleanor Roosevelt Lecturer in Public Policy
Tuesday, January 14, 2014
6:00 pm
Too often, when an end to conflict is negotiated, only those who bear arms gain a seat at the table. But research and global experience show that peace processes are significantly less likely to fail when they are broadly inclusive. The participation of women, in particular, can change the content of discussions and the dynamics between parties in a myriad of positive ways, leading to more sustainable outcomes.
For the 15th annual forum in this "Inclusive Security" series, join senior military, government, and civil society leaders as they speak about their experiences bridging divides to end violent conflict nationally and internationally. The discussion will include experts from Afghanistan, Colombia, The Philippines, Rwanda, Syria, and the audience.

Mastering the sandcastle
The king of the castle—Todd Vander Pluym, winner of nearly 200 sand-sculpting competitions—shares his trade secrets.
Test the sand. Squeeze wet sand and roll it back and forth in your hand. If it stays together, it's good sand. If it falls apart, "you're in the wrong spot—or on the wrong beach," says Vander Pluym.
Build a base. Make a circular wall out of dry sand, 6 inches high and 3 feet wide. Add 2 inches of water to circle, then 2 inches of sand. Tamp until water drains. Add dry sand to wall and repeat layering, angling inward to form 18-inch mound.
Construct towers. Place a bucket, with the bottom cut out, handle side down on the mound. Alternate layers of sand and water in the bucket, 2 inches at a time, tamping as you go, finishing with water.
Perform lift-off. Have one person tap the bucket to release sand right before another one lifts it straight up. Repeat process for more towers, and remove loose sand from around the mound.
Add details. Use an offset spatula to square off towers and make stairs; a funnel for roofs; a melon baller for corbels; and a disposable knife for arrow slits—"a neat little detail that makes a castle look like a castle."
Vander Pluym's Redondo Beach–based company, Sand Sculptors International, offers lessons and a how-to DVD, Sandcastles for Everyone;

The Canisius women's basketball team limited Loyola University to six points over the final nine and a half minutes and went 9-for-10 in the final 90 seconds to defeat the Greyhounds 48-39 in the Koessler Athletic Center on Saturday afternoon in a Play 4Kay game. The Golden Griffins complete the season sweep of Loyola, snapping a four-game losing streak to improve to 9-14 overall and 6-6 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Junior Jamie Ruttle recorded the third double-double of her career, posting 10 points and 10 rebounds. Senior Ashley Durham had 11 points and matched her career high with eight rebounds. Junior Jen Lennox had seven points and four blocks in 13 minutes off the bench.
"A lot of times to end a losing streak, it takes an ugly win and that's exactly what today's game was," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "We struggled with Loyola's zone in the first half because it was so spread out, but I felt our adjustments allowed our offense to get better post touches, which we were able to take advantage of."
Neither team could get its offense going in the first half, with each team making eight field goals and combining for 25 turnovers. A layup from Ruttle put Canisius up 12-8 with 7:38 left in the half, but two baskets from Loyola on their next two possessions tied the score. The Griffs held the Greyhounds scoreless for almost four minutes, going up 17-12 after a 3-pointer from junior Jen Morabito and a layup from sophomore Kayla Hoohuli.
Canisius led 19-16 at the half, and the teams combined for 24 points in the first six minutes of the second half. A 3-pointer from Hoohuli quickly extended the Canisius lead to 22-16, but Loyola eventually tied the score at 24-24 after a 3-pointer from Katie Sheahin. The Greyhounds took the first lead of the day after Alyssa Sutherland completed a three-point play to put Loyola up 27-26.
The Griffs trailed 29-28 but would score eight straight points, holding Loyola scoreless for more than four and a half minutes, to build a 36-29 lead. Morabito drained a 3-pointer and Lennox had five points, including a three-point play, to give Canisius the seven-point advantage. Loyola cut the deficit to 36-33, but would only score two points for the next eight and a half minutes, which included back-to-back blocks from Lennox. The Griffs went 9-for-10 from the free-throw line in the final 1:34 to put the game away.
Sheahin led Loyola (9-13, 4-8 MAAC) with 13 points but went 6-for-23 from the floor. Tiffany Padgett recorded eight points and a game-high 14 rebounds. Sutherland added 12 points and seven rebounds.
Canisius heads to the East Coast for two games next week, starting with Thursday's game at Fairfield University. Tipoff in the Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Conn. for the ESPN3 game is set for 6 p.m.
Notes: As part of the Play 4Kay promotion, Canisius honored Vicky Brooks, the mother of assistant coach Jacey Brooks, prior to the start of the game. Vicky Brooks is a recent breast cancer survivor... Canisius sweeps the season series from Loyola for the first time since the 2008-09 campaign... The Griffs defeated Loyola in the KAC for the sixth time in the last eight years... Lennox and senior Ashley Wilkes each have 25 blocks on the season, giving Canisius two players with 25 or more blocks in the same season for the first time in the program's Division I era... The 27.1 percent field goal percentage for the Griffs is the lowest in a win in the program's Division I era.

I don't think this is what VW had in mind when they coined the term Microbus for their venerable camper van. A small but very real trend among some of the more eccentric VW enthusiasts, these "shorty buses" have had their wheelbases sliced and diced by about 2 feet, making for an almost cartoon like result. If Scooby Doo and the gang went to the circus, this might be the vehicle that would take them there.
The shorty trend extends to Beetles too…gotta love it!

By Chris Harris
Those who pitched up at Meadow Park last Friday were lucky enough to witness one of the most welcome sights of Arsenal's pre-season - the low-key return to action of Ryan Garry.
Since making an impressive first-team debut in May 2003, the talented defender has been blighted by a long-term shin injury. He was raring to go this time last year after a lengthy rehabilitation, but another setback restricted Garry to just two appearances in 2005/06.
Hopefully it will be a different story this season. Garry was given a vigorous 90-minute workout as an Arsenal XI beat Boreham Wood and, like everyone else, Reserve team manager Neil Banfield is keeping his fingers crossed that the 22-year-old can finally fulfil his obvious potential.
"Ryan has been right through the mill and he's shown good resilience and a fantastic attitude," Banfield told Arsenal.com. "We hope now that he's through it all and he can get over the next stage of his recovery which is the mental stage of playing.
"I think he worries every time he plays that the injury
might flare up again but hopefully he'll be fine.
"Medically he's fine. As far as the medical team and doctors have said, he's got the green light to play. He came back at the start of last season but had a recurrence of his shin injury and had to go through a slow process of elimination to find out exactly what it was. They seem to have it under control now.
"Fingers crossed he'll be OK now because he's a smashing lad and has worked so hard, hopefully he'll have a good run now.
"The lads know he's been through so much that they all pull for him. They all wish him the best and have all helped him a long. The Club is like a family in that respect, they don't want someone to have to stop playing through an injury."

Same-store sales jumped 5.5%. The company also increased its full-year same-store sales outlook, forecasting low to mid-single digit growth, compared to its prior view for flat-to-low-single digit growth.
Food costs increased 22% and also weighed on restaurant-level operating margins. The company said it did not plan to raise menu prices for the rest of the year.
Shares are down 7% in the past year.

How does hair loss happen?
Have you ever wondered why some guys can go all their life with a full head of hair, while others start to go bald in college or even high school? Although there are multiple causes of hair loss, but this entry involves the most common cause of androgenic alopecia, which accounts for over 90% of hair loss.
Genetics play a major role in common age related hair loss (androgenic alopecia), and the process is still not completely understood. What is known (thanks to years of intense research by large pharmaceutical companies and academic universities) is that the the most common cause of hair loss, is due to the naturally occurring hormone dihydrotestosterone, DHT.
This hormone is a by product of a chemical reaction in the body, catalyzed by an enzyme called 5 alpha reductase, which essentially takes freely available testosterone and converts it to an altered form (hence the name Dihydrotestosterone) which is much more potent (in terms of affecting hair follicle growth.
A build up of DHT occurs over time, and it is thought that this build up leads to reduced hair follicle viability, which over time can cause the thinning of hair. This progressive atrophy of the hair follicle leads to reduced hair shaft diameter, and eventually the hair growth cycle produces less and less thick hairs until it the hairs on the scalp stop growing (leading to a bald head).
Much of the research among the matter has focused on the dht converting enzyme 5 alpha reductase [which actually a broad term for atleast 2 versions of 5 alpha reductase (5-AR)]

Yes, but I don't receive the money on the 15h of the month until now.

ouch, that's not good. did envato confirmed they have send it to the proper location. They have to trace the money, they are the only ones who can do this since the trail start at their end.
Hope you get your money very soon m8, bills keep on coming for you also so it's a important issue.

Have you checked your withdrawal page?

Hi, I have made a payment request via SWIFT to get my money. I have got the email for sending my money. I have checked with my bank again and again. But it has gone 10 days. I have not got my money yet. Could you please help me? Ticket ID: LGA -479-85101
Hmm…. That is really horrible. I don't understand why people use direct SWIFT transfer where many many money receive getaway exists, like PayPal, Payoneer and MoneyBookers. They are very fast and reliable. I know you are an elite author, you know these things better than me but don't you think these money getaways (PayPal, Payoneer and MoneyBookers) charge very little opposite to the service they do for us? On the other hand bankwire transfer is slow and sometimes local bank charges a big amount just only for receiving money.
dmsumon, In certain countries, wire transfer is more consistent in terms of documentation especially while filing tax. For example, paypal in India was suddenly banned for some period (even now it would be very difficult to track the source of income (for goverment – to monitor) as paypal deposits money as local currency here – not as USD into bank). So we can consider the 3rd party / private medium are fine for small amounts and temporary earning but if you want legitimate records and serious business, you have to make sure everything processed in most recommended way as per local govt. Actually I loss $60 (35+25) for each transaction through Swift but continuing this for above purposes.

Berlin begins looking for replacement city manager
The mayor and council won't be going through the hiring process alone, but will have the assistance of Primex, the New Hampshire Public Risk Management Exchange.
The city will advertise the position starting on Jan. 4, 2013, according to MacQueen, with resumes from applicants due Feb. 1. The salary range will be $75,000 to $105,000.
The goal is to have a new city manager on board Aug. 1.
Mayor Paul Grenier, who is also a Coos County commissioner, said the county used Primex to fill two positions.
Carl Weber of Primex said the company does not participate in the interview process, but assists with structuring it and keeping it on track.
"Our assistance is simply designed to augment their search by helping them reach consensus on what they are looking for in the city's next manager," Weber said Wednesday. "We do not screen or comment on applicants, nor do we run their process. However, we do provide resources and facilitate discussion to help them conduct their search. Typical resources include forms, sample questions, and suggested schedule for the process."
MacQueen gave the council one year's notice that he would be stepping down. The city contracts through Municipal Resources Inc. of Meredith for his services. MacQueen has held city manager positions with MRI since 1995. Prior to that was the Keene city manager for 17 years. He has been with Berlin since spring 2002.

At yesterday's HP Summit 2011, CEO Leo Apotheker made a public case for personal cloud — online services that work together to orchestrate and deliver work and personal information across personal digital devices (such as PCs, smartphones, and tablets). For people planning strategy at vendors, what are the implications of personal cloud? End users will need help getting access to their information across their devices seamlessly.
One type of information ripe for help from personal cloud services is contacts or address books. Every person using a mobile phone (251 million in the US, most of which can do email) confronts the issue of how to get all their work and personal contacts into a new mobile phone. Can they simply sync with an existing source? Do they have to export? Or <shudder> re-key them?
We've been researching how many people are actually using a sync service or would be interested in using one. The market for contact or calendar sync is vastly underserved today: Only 4% of North American and European information worker respondents (those using a computer 1 hour or more per day) report that they used a website or Internet service that required a login for contact and calendar synchronization, integration, or enhancement for work (Source: Forrsights Workforce Employee Survey, Q3 2010).
Yet, when Forrester asked US consumers whether they identified with the statement, "I have several electronic address books and can't always find the contact I want when I want it," only 4% chose that as a frustration or concern that they experience with the information they've stored in their PCs, devices, online services, or mobile phones (Source: North American Technographics® Omnibus Online Survey, Q4 2010 [US]).

How should you measure customer experience? Is it even possible to measure something that feels as squishy as customer experience?
As it turns out, you can measure it, you should measure it, and you even have some decent options for measuring it. Your alternatives range from monitoring the real-world interactions your customers have with your firm (like clicks on a site or the length of a call) to asking your customers for their perceptions of those interactions (the real customer experience) to tracking what your customers do as a result of the experience (like making another purchase or recommending you).
At Forrester, we have our own direct measure of customer experience that we've been using since 2007: the Customer Experience Index (CxPi). Today we published the results for 2011, which are based on research conducted at the end of 2010.
To help understand those results, let me explain how the CxPi works. We ask more than 7,000 consumers to identify companies they do business with in 13 different industries. We then ask respondents to tell us how well each firm met their needs, how easy the firm was to work with, and how enjoyable it was to work with (questions that correspond to the three levels of the classic customer experience pyramid). Then for all three questions, we calculate each firm's CxPi score by subtracting the percentage of its customers who reported a bad experience from the percentage who reported a good experience. The overall CxPi is an average of those three results.

Wreck near Alma claims life in snowstorm
February 23, 2012
On the heels of a wild and windy Wednesday that brought some decent snow accumulation to the High Country, more heavy snow continued to fall early Thursday, causing transit delays, closed roads, and a fatal accident in Park County. The accident occurred before 11 a.m. north of Alma on State Highway 9. It closed the highway, then slowed traffic as vehicles were diverted around the scene.Three vehicles were involved, and to Colorado State Trooper Josh Lewis' knowledge, it was three different parties. Two were taken to Summit Medical Center – condition unknown – and the other was pronounced dead at the scene. -Falling and blowing snow caused Summit County's transit systems to delay routes in the early morning Thursday. The Breckenridge Freeride transit system suffered from drivers not being able to get to Breckenridge for their afternoon shifts due to the U.S. Highway 9 closure, but by mid-afternoon had secured shifts so evening schedules wouldn't need modification. Adverse weather caused early morning delays, but the buses were largely back on schedule later Thursday morning. "As long as visibility and road conditions allow us to continue our normally scheduled service, we will do so," Breckenridge spokeswoman Kim Dykstra-DiLallo said. "We assess it constantly."Poor visibility closed Loveland Pass at 12:30 a.m., and it remained closed throughout the day. Interstate 70 between Silverthorne and Morrison Road has reopened, and is also reopened in both directions over Vail Pass following avalanche work. The Dillon Dam Road, within Summit County, closed around 7 a.m. and remains closed. Conditions on open interstate sections are reportedly wet with icy spots. Interstate 70 westbound from Georgetown to the tunnel was closed for several hours after midnight Thursday. It reopened shortly before the eastbound direction closed from Silverthorne to the tunnel at 4:20 a.m. U.S. Highway 40 over Berthoud Pass has been closed throughout the morning as maintenance crews remove snow on the east side of the pass. "Weather conditions are beginning to improve on highways west and southwest of Denver, allowing maintenance crews to clear snow and ice from the roadways and conduct avalanche control operations," Colorado Department of Transportation spokesman Bob Wilson said. U.S. Highway 285 remains snowpacked and slushy in spots but conditions continue to improve, Wilson said. The Summit Stage suspended all service until daybreak Thursday. The Breckenridge Free Ride transit system is up and running; however, it was delayed roughly 30 minutes in beginning routes, and passengers should expect slight delays due to adverse weather and road conditions.At the ski areas, Arapahoe Basin reported 9 inches of new snow over the past 24 hours as of 5 a.m. Thursday. Vail originally reported a foot of new snow but later revised it to 2 inches, citing variables in conditions due to the wind. Copper Mountain reported 2 inches of snow at 4:30 a.m., and has accumulated another 2 inches by midday.Forecasts call for more snow through the afternoon and evening, with blowing snow through 11 p.m. Clouds are expected to clear early Friday and remain mostly sunny, with breezes and wind gusts up to 20 mph, through the day. More snow could come through on Saturday and Sunday, with less accumulation expected. The Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC) issued an avalanche warning for the Front Range and Vail and Summit County zones, due to heavy snow and strong winds coming from a strong cold front moving through early this morning. The warning is in effect until noon Friday.
For additional road condition information within Summit County, call (970) 668-1090. For road conditions on Interstate 70, state highways and mountain passes, call 511 or visit http://www.cotrip.org. Call (303) 342-8477 for Denver International Airport flight-delay information.

wow, I am so impressed. Unfortunatley over here int he UK we don't have thanksgiving, and Halloween is ONE day of the month, not weeks lol. Which is a pity because I do love to decorate when I can, and we go all out decorating for Halloween and it seems such a waste for one day.
awwwwwwwww Kitty curtains!

Did you know that Thanksgiving is one of the busiest days of the year at movie theatres?
Thus I always "get" to work...
It's ok, I live about 1800 miles from my nearest family member, and I like to work when it is busy! Also, the employees love to bring in leftovers for me to eat so I get to experience lots of great home cooked Thanksgiving meals all in one day! If not, I can always have my fill of Popcorn!!! :D
I have cooked a Thanksgiving meal once in my life (several years ago) and the turkey came out very well!
P.S. I have a few Thanksgiving decorations up, I will have to post pictures later as I have not taken any pictures yet....
The decorations are beautiful. It's funny how the small and simple things make things so wonderful!! Thank you for sharing your pics!!
Wishing all a safe and loving Holiday!!

Hello. My name is Elena. I have worked as an English teacher for more than 10 years. I was appointed academic supervisor 3 years ago and now I do basically teacher training and supervisory activities. I'd like to know if a Celta course would be the best choice for me in terms of professsional development or if I should go for a ELT management course. I have also considered going for a Delta course but It is required to have a Celta or a TEFL and I don't have it yet. I do have a Bachelor in Education and lots of seminars, conferences, workshops, online courses related to ELT so far. I like what I do now as much as teaching since it is still helping other grow. Can I get some help on this one? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,

text: A rumor that I read a few minutes ago said this: I thought that we could have a 15 player roster, wiht 12 active and 3 inactive players. Knight - Bynum Stuckey - English Prince - Maggette - Singler Maxiell - Jerebko - Daye - Villanueva Monroe - Kravtsov - Drummond That's 14.. Ben Wallace has a spot there. What am I missing? Why they said that CV or Daye could be traded to make room? Anyway, If Big Ben returns, that's great news for us.

Someone had one on e-bay and i messaged him and made a deal! im so stoked its crazy! I never thought id find this all together. When i messaged him, i only asked for the bracket and grip. Not sure if he's just gonna give me the whole thing or not, but either way, im stoked!
EDIT: Apparently this is a replica, but hey, thats ok. Still a good price for a real brass grip, metal bracket and a stock that looks pretty good to me.

For the last 40 years or so, our profession has assumed that by copying the medical model, using science-based, pathology-focused, diagnosis-specific treatments, we'd have medical-style success (forget, for the moment, that medicine itself isn't nearly as predictable and successful as advertised, nor even as scientific). By now, you'd think we'd have just about licked most ordinary mental disorders. Anxiety and depression—which get the lion's share of therapists' attention—should have gone the way of smallpox and polio, shouldn't they? Well, not so much. If anything, given the sheer numbers of depressed, anxious, angry, violent, drug- and alcohol-addled people we see in our offices and around us, it would seem that rates of emotional and mental disorders in our society are just as high as ever, or possibly even on the rise.
Of course, psychotherapy "works"; we have plenty of evidence for that. It's just that, even with all the fancy high-tech, evidence-supported, protocol-driven therapies, we aren't doing nearly as well as we sometimes imagine, even with our own patients.
The findings from the British CoBalT trial that were recently published in the The Lancet underscore this fact. The investigators randomly assigned 469 chronically depressed, treatment-resistant patients either to the usual care (primarily antidepressant medications) or to the usual care plus cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). At the six-month evaluation, only 22 percent of the treatment-as-usual group had improved significantly, as compared with 46 percent of the patients in the meds-plus-CBT group.
These results indicate that neither treatment was terribly effective, since improvement was defined as a 50-percent reduction in patients' scores on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). That's not too impressive, since most patients with such a reduction in BDI scores will still be quite symptomatic: they definitely won't be feeling much joy or self-esteem. The results also indicate that the antidepressants the patients in the treatment-as-usual group received appeared to have few, if any, beneficial effects above and beyond the positive effects caused by the passage of time. A 22-percent "improvement" rate is pathetic, to be blunt. Finally, although the psychotherapy helped, the effects left a lot to be desired, too, since more than half the patients didn't even achieve a 50-percent reduction in depression severity.Unfortunately, the findings from this study aren't unusual. I'm not aware of any controlled-outcome studies in which any form of psychotherapy (or antidepressant drug therapy) has shown really dramatic or impressive results. In fact, in most cases, the outcomes for the treatment groups are barely greater than the outcomes for patients receiving placebos. I think all of us can agree that, despite the significant progress that's been made in therapeutic treatment, there's still enormous room for improvement in even those forms of psychotherapy that are heralded as state-of-the-art.
The Learning Curve
I began my career as a biological psychiatrist at the University of Pennsylvania during the early '70s, the opening years of psychopharmacology's appropriation of psychiatry. At the drug company presentations at the conferences I attended, I heard that 85 percent of depressed patients could be treated effectively with meds, but soon discovered otherwise. While some of my patients improved a bit, many others continued to suffer, no matter how many drugs I prescribed or how long I listened and supported them with traditional talk therapy. I could clearly see that my success rates were fairly similar to those in the treatment-as-usual arm of the CoBalT trial.
I began looking for a new and different treatment method to supplement the drugs, and my department chairman suggested I try the relatively new CBT approach, but I was highly skeptical. The idea of trying to change the negative thinking patterns of depressed and anxious people sounded too superficial, too "power of positive thinking," and not nearly "deep" or "biological" enough to have any meaningful effects. To my amazement, however, CBT seemed to work a lot better than medications and talk therapy, and clients liked it. Sometimes, the results were fast and spectacular, even with discouraged clients who'd tried years of talk therapy and meds without much success.
However, despite many successes, my results were still far from perfect, especially in the treatment of anxiety. Many patients would begin to improve, achieving a 50- to 60-precent reduction in symptoms. Then they'd get stuck and continue to struggle with crippling shyness, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or some other type of anxiety, no matter how many techniques I tried.

Welcome to a new feature on Arsenal.com - Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture our MatchDay Show team - and an Arsenal blogger - will have their say on the match.
Arsenal kicked off their Premier League campaign at Newcastle on August 13 and our Talking Heads for this game were Dan Roebuck, former Gunner Adrian Clarke and Andrew Mangan, the man behind Arseblog.
Read on for their post-match thoughts and recap what they said before the game.
Arsenal didn't get the win I expected - although they deserved to - but Arsène Wenger can take plenty of positives from the performance. Gervinho was in the headlines because of his red card but he was Arsenal's biggest threat going forward and just lacked a bit of composure inside the box. The back four was incredibly solid with Laurent Koscielny and Thomas Vermaelen kicking off what could be a strong partnership. They complement each other well at the back. When you look around the country and see that Liverpool and Chelsea dropped points too, Arsenal can be satisfied with a draw.
Pre-match: Arsenal will kick off the season with a win at St James' Park, of that I'm certain. Forget last season's 4-4 draw, the players will have and the team is likely to be nearly 50 per cent different to the one that took to the field in February. Instead focus on what we know. Sure, the defence hasn't been great in pre-season, but when Thomas Vermaelen and Laurent Koscielny have played together Arsenal have only conceded once – and that was Carl Jenkinson's freak own goal versus Cologne. I've no concerns at the other end of the pitch, Gervinho looks a stellar signing and Robin van Persie has top scored in the summer matches, picking up where he left off last term, while the midfield pairing of Alex Song and Aaron Ramsey is better than anything Newcastle have got. The full backs pick themselves and I'd play Theo Walcott, if fit, on the right given his record on Tyneside (three goals on his last two visits).
It was a frustrating start to the season for Arsenal which feels like two points dropped, rather than one gained. The team passed the ball well and dominated against an unambitious Newcastle but the quality of the final ball deep inside the opposition territory was disappointing. Arsenal simply didn't have enough shots on goal considering they were controlling things. Gervinho can have few complaints at his red card but the situation which caused the melee should never have occurred. Joey Barton was wrong to accuse the Ivorian of diving for a penalty that could easily have been given, he was wrong to grab the Gunners forward by the scruff of his shirt, and he was wrong to fall to the ground so dramatically. It was galling to see Barton escape with just a caution. My man of the match was Laurent Koscielny. He wasn't called upon too often but when he was, his defending was immaculate.
Pre-match: Arsenal's preparations for this season's opener have been far from ideal so it's important that they grab a morale-boosting victory at St. James' Park, especially ahead of the important matches to come later this month. In an attacking sense I am confident that Arsenal will score goals. Robin van Persie is in fine fettle, brimming with confidence, while Gervinho has also shown glimpses of star quality during pre-season. Chances will come their way against a Newcastle side that has been considerably weakened by the sales of Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan. Defensively I'm a little nervous. The back four hasn't looked completely solid during the friendlies and they are sure to be tested at times on Saturday evening. Hopefully, the painful memories of their 4-4 draw in this fixture last term will ensure maximum concentration at all times! Player for player this should be a comfortable victory for the Gunners but I have a feeling it may take two or three Arsenal goals to secure all three points.
A point away from home isn't a bad result on the face of it but the lack of creativity and chances created in relation to the amount of possession we had was somewhat worrying. The ban for Gervinho is a blow, as is the potential suspension of Alex Song. What I think of Joey Barton is unprintable here so I'll finish on a positive. I was really encouraged by the centre-half partnership, and the way that Wojciech Szczesny dominated his area bodes well for the games to come - especially Udinese where a clean sheet is so important.
Pre-match: I have to admit I'd hoped we'd be in better shape going into this game than we actually are. The preparations seem to have been over-shadowed by the transfer stories regarding Cesc and Nasri. However, while it's easy for fans to be distracted as these protracted sagas play out, I'm sure the manager has the players who will be playing ready and focused on what is a crucial game. We all know what happened there last season and this is a good chance to lay those ghosts to rest nice and early in the season. Even if our defence is not quite where we want it, I think an attacking trio of Gervinho, RVP and Theo Walcott will give us the firepower we need to get the season off to a winning start. Fingers crossed.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson was a late addition to the injury report as a limited participant after his hamstring tightened up Wednesday. On Thursday, Nelson was downgraded after being held out from practice. There has been no official announcement yet from the team that suggests that Nelson is in jeopardy of not playing in Week 8.
Fantasy Analysis:
The Packers have already been without Greg Jennings and losing Nelson would be a big blow as well. Donald Driver did not practice Wednesday and hasn't produced much this season regardless. Nelson's injury will likely make him a game-time decision so fantasy owners should be prepared for him being inactive. Randall Cobb has in a big way over the last month and should Nelson not play, Cobb becomes a must-start if he isn't already.

Poor moot. I know this has got to have you pulling your hair out by now!!! :evil: :whip:If you come down here I will give you some pieces of brood comb for your traps. It will help a lot. Bailey
I'm envious. We're looking at snow storms for the next few days with no temps in the 50's for at least a week. Swarm calls won't start until mid April up here with the beginning of Turkey season. Moot, I have to remind myself of this on occasion but I've found swarms are like cats. The more you want to pet one the more it'll ignore you. Find something else to do and the next thing you know it's rubbing up against your leg.

In the 1920s, the Supreme Court ruled in the Thind case although the man who claimed he was white because many people in india are descended from the Aryans, anyone looking at him could tell that he was dark skinned. Senator Jeff Sessions insists that judges should not allow their "own personal background, gender, prejudices or sympathies to sway their decision in favor of, or against parties before the court." His assumption is there is something termed "the law" which exists apart from life. In 1896, the Supreme Court in Plessy vs. Ferguson ruled that segregation was constitutional, in 1954, they unanimously ruled it was unconstitutional. Every judge allows his beliefs, his sympathies, his prejudices to enter into making a court decision. Even as Senator Sessions spoke, an anti-abortion spectator shouted that Judge Sonia Sotomayor was "wrong about abortion" because it entailed murder of life. I assume Sessions agrees with that view. If he does, he allows his prejudices and views to impose upon the law.
Republicans appear to believe the Constitution was written by men who believed business interests must always be protected, that national health insurance is at variance with the Constitution, and the Founding Fathers would have agreed today that gun lovers could bring their guns to school, to a bar, to a wedding ceremony and any other place they desired.
We forget in 2009 the Constitution was a compromise document. The Founding Fathers disagreed and wrote a document that could be interpreted. Thomas Jefferson argued for a strict interpretation of the Constitution, but he purchased the Louisiana Territory even though there is no such right specifically guaranteed in the document. He also declared war on the Barbary pirates although the Constitution vests war making power with Congress.
Senator Sessions is a hypocrite. There was no declaration of war in Iraq. The use of torture is hardly consistent with the Constitution. Now, if Dick Cheney wants to argue, modern times require different methods, that at least recognizes we allow our views, our sympathies and our angers to enter into legal decisions.

"Great quality, perfect colors. fast shipping. We used these as labels for the top of a small mason jar for wedding favors. Perfect fit."
"These gift tags are beautiful and arrive exactly as pictured. The design is so delicate; perfect for a baby shower which is what I used them for. The one caveat is that the white lettering is a bit difficult to see as the tag is a very pale pink. If I had to do it over again, I would use black, or a darker color, rather than the standard white. It is still very beautiful hence the five stars."
"We ordered these stickers to be placed on the gifts given out at a baby shower. They pulled everything together. From the invites to the thank you cards, everything coordinated and looked polished and professional."
"We had a hot air balloon theme that had banners hanging, and this sticker was a PERFECT way to send off our guests. We used these on his party favor bags, and it just looked really adorable."
"I ordered these labels to place on favor bags for my husband's 50th birthday. They look exactly as shown. They were shipped quickly and I received them earlier than I expected,which helped a great deal. I would certainly order from here again!!"

Can science fiction be used as an educational tool for teens? Sci-fi can find the capability of exploring models of existence in creative means than comfortable types of thought experiments.
Kurt Vonnegut proposed an arrangement for world peace by uniting everybody against a typical adversary, his principle character enlisted individuals from earth to fabricate a fake outsider armed force, that armed force was situated up as a straw man drive, one that could seem to represent a risk to earth, however was intended to come up short, when the power assaulted, earth shaped a united front and effectively crushed the outsiders, uniting all countries in a coordinated exertion against intruders. Some of the best middle school books explore such themes.
Is it possible to analyze the dreams and fears of society with science fiction narrations?
Different creators have carried on the convention of Utopias and Dystopias by looking towards advanced answers for current issues diving into points of profound quality, governmental issues, social improvement, and so on a few top choices being Aldous Huxley's "A Brave New World", Orwell's "1984", and Nabokov's "Welcome to a Beheading". These are just any old books for a 6th grade reading level. Science fiction can investigate ranges of thought unhindered by traditions of limit and the best sorts (as I would see it, clearly) are those that utilization and investigate fantastical innovations and compelling potential outcomes as intended to philosophize about appropriate issues instead of assemble dreamer universes of imagination. The regularly hyperbolic nature of Sci-fi is helpful in its capacity to highlight and concentrate on conceivable outcomes that are frequently neglected by different sorts of thought articulation, and do it in a fun and drawing in way that can light and rouse creative energy, marvel, and interest.
Encouraging students to develop a critical mindset of the world by explaining society's problems through science fiction allegory?
At the point when considering things like humanistic rights for occurrence, I think it important to envision planets where animals are hereditarily changed for abuse, Sci-fi can smear the lines that we regularly underestimate and help us ponder each sort of issue, from profound quality, legislative issues, morals, deep sense of being, society, civilization, innovation, and so on. If you read these 8th grade books, you'll likely find the answers that you're looking for. Their headings re-outline issues in ways that free us from our own experience and mental propensities to take a gander at the potential outcomes past our standardized viewpoints.

"This was my first time ordering from Tiny Prints. Super easy to create my card and add my photos. Lots of designs to choose from and loved this one since I have 2 puppies! The paper quality of the card is excellent! They are a nice heavy card, not like your typical photo paper cards. Will definitely order again!"
"I love this design! Our custom photo looked perfect in this card! I asked that the back of the card be a lighter shade of brown because even though the front says most of what a holiday greeting needs to say, I still like to write personal messages on cards. The back was still kind of dark, only a black sharpie showed up. Thats my only concern - lightening the back side so ink shows up for personalized messages."
