 Next Level Barbershop in Pottstown, PA is the best barbershop in Pottstown.

 There is something to be said about having a great relationship with your hair stylist. Each time you have an appointment it should be a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Healthy hair starts with a stress free environment and a strong personal relationship with your "miracle worker" I absolutely LOVE my salon and my stylist. Bliss Elements is excellent. The service is great. They put just as much love into customer service as they do into the treatment of your hair. They offer so much that they are by far not just a salon- but a one-stop place to "Just Be" Sweet Spot Caribbean Restaurant - Shelly B.
 Great restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere. Who would have "thunk" that you could get great island cuisine in Doylestown! Menu caters to the culinary mild at heart to the bold and adverturous. Angie K. - Mr. Wing

 Although it is a bit unorthodox to select a funeral home as a "Hood Spot", this funeral home is like no other. The staff is very friendly and has a genuine desire to care for those who have experienced a loss. The business is a family business that has been around for years and has handled several of my loved ones' arrangements. The manager is involved with the community and has a genuine stake within the "hood" community of Camden, NJ. This is why Carl Miller Funeral Home is my favorite "Hood Spot"! Cheryl's Southern Style - Chester may have a lot of problems in the city, but I think most could be cured by a meal from my favorite "hood spot" Cheryl's Southern Style.

You show up, you're invited. Nobody is denied. Enough food for everybody. Lorenzo and Sons Pizza - I love this "hood spot" because in my opinion, they have the best pizza in town. Not only are the slices really huge (enough for two people), but the quality is out of sight. Lorenzo's is located in downtown Philly on South Street, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves pizza! Turkey Chop
 Because it\'s across the street from Cease Fire and continually gives back to the neighborhood Photo 1 of 1 Continue Gallery

Dragon Commander - Status Update
View Single Post
September 8th, 2011, 23:22
Moriendor mentions the whole "dragons as enemies" thing that publishers like… Yet a quick look through amazon shows a whole section of fantasy novels about dragons and the like as romantic/desireable/heroic. Then look at all the sales of dragon sculptures etc that you see at pratically mall. There's clearly a demand for dragon stuff, and you'd think that alone would be enough to net some interest.
However, the combination of steam-punk with the dragons is certainly a bit difficult to pitch without sounding crazy. You have to have played one of Lars' previous games to realise that Larian can pull that stuff off. Most publishers don't actually play the games, so it is no surprise they don't see how things could work…

Issues: Health
Healthy Milk, Healthy Baby
Chemical Pollution and Mother's Milk
Benefits of Breastfeeding
Breast milk is widely acknowledged as the most complete form of nutrition for infants, with a range of benefits for infants' health, growth, immunity and development.
-- Healthy People 2010, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia
Breast milk is a unique nutritional source that cannot adequately be replaced by any other food, including infant formula. Although pollutants can accumulate in breast milk, it remains superior to infant formula from the perspective of the overall health of both mother and child.
Infants are fragile and susceptible to disease, partly because their bodies are not fully developed. They must be treated with special care and given adequate nourishment. Infant formulas are able to mimic a few of the nutritional components of breast milk, but formula cannot hope to duplicate the vast and constantly changing array of essential nutrients in human milk. Nevertheless, breastfeeding is often devalued, both in the United States and abroad, and in many parts of the world it must compete with relentless advertising by infant-formula companies.
Studies have demonstrated a number of important health benefits to breastfeeding. Among them:
- Breast-fed children are more resistant to disease and infection early in life than formula-fed children
- Breast-fed children are less likely to contract a number of diseases later in life, including juvenile diabetes, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and cancer before the age of 15
- Mothers who breastfeed are less likely to develop osteoporosis later in life, are able to lose weight gained during pregnancy more easily and have a lower risk of breast, uterine and ovarian cancer
|The United States Lags in Breastfeeding
The United States has one of the lowest rates of breastfeeding in the industrialized world, and one of the highest rates of infant mortality. Data from 2003 indicate that 71 percent of U.S. mothers initiate some breastfeeding, and only 36 percent report feeding any human milk to their infants at six months. Rates in the African-American community are lower, with only 55 percent of women initiating breastfeeding and only 24 percent still breastfeeding at six months. Those numbers stand in marked contrast to Sweden, for example, where the breastfeeding initiation rate exceeds 98 percent and the rate at six months is 72 percent. In Sweden, there is a high level of awareness about chemical contaminants in breast milk, yet most mothers make the wise decision to breastfeed their children anyway.
Benefits to the Child in the First Years of Life
Breast milk is a unique combination of nutrients essential to a child's health, and cannot be duplicated by any laboratory formula. It provides a number of health advantages beginning at birth and continuing throughout a child's life. In fact, a large number of the health problems today's children face might be decreased, or even prevented, by breastfeeding the infant exclusively for at least the first six months of life. The longer the mother breastfeeds, the more likely her child will get the health benefits of breastfeeding.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that mothers breastfeed for at least the first year of a child's life and continue until they both feel they are ready to stop. In the first six months, the baby should be nourished exclusively by breast milk. The slow introduction of iron-enriched foods may complement the breastfeeding in the second half of the first year. Breast milk without supplements during the first six months reduces the possibility of food contamination due to tainted water or malnutrition as a result of over-diluted formula. Therefore, the child should be nursed without the interference of water, sugar water, juices, or formulas, unless a specific medical condition indicates otherwise. The AAP asserts that breast milk has the perfect balance of nutrients for the infant. It is by itself enough sustenance for approximately the first six months of life and should follow as the child's staple throughout the first year.
A variety of studies have demonstrated that breastfeeding increases a child's immunity to disease and infection:
- Many studies show that breastfeeding strengthens the immune system. During nursing, the mother passes antibodies to the child, which help the child resist diseases and help improve the normal immune response to certain vaccines.
- Respiratory illness is far more common among formula-fed children. In fact, an analysis of many different research studies concluded that infants fed formula face a threefold greater risk of being hospitalized with a severe respiratory infection than do infants breast-fed for a minimum of four months.
- Diarrheal disease is three to four times more likely to occur in infants fed formula than those fed breast milk.
- Breastfeeding has been shown to reduce the likelihood of ear infections, and to prevent recurrent ear infections. Ear infections are a major reason that infants take multiple courses of antibiotics.
- In developing countries, differences in infection rates can seriously affect an infant's chances for survival. For example, in Brazil, a formula-fed baby is 14 times more likely to die than an exclusively breast-fed baby.
- Researchers have observed a decrease in the probability of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in breast-fed infants.
- Another apparent benefit from breastfeeding may be protection from allergies. Eczema, an allergic reaction, is significantly rarer in breast-fed babies. A review of 132 studies on allergy and breastfeeding concluded that breastfeeding appears to help protect children from developing allergies, and that the effect seems to be particularly strong among children whose parents have allergies.
Benefits to the Child Later in LifeSome benefits of breastfeeding become apparent as the child grows older. Among the benefits demonstrated by research:
- Infants who are breast-fed longer have fewer dental cavities throughout their lives.
- Several recent studies have shown that children who were breast-fed are significantly less likely to become obese later in childhood. Formula feeding is linked to about a 20 to 30 percent greater likelihood that the child will become obese.
- Children who are exclusively breast-fed during the first three months of their lives are 34 percent less likely to develop juvenile, insulin-dependent diabetes than children who are fed formula.
- Breastfeeding may also decrease the risk of childhood cancer in children under 15 years of age. Formula-fed children are eight times more likely to develop cancer than children who are nursed for more than six months. (It is important to note that children who are breast-fed for less than six months do not appear to have any decreased cancer risk compared to bottle-fed children.)
- As children grow into adults, several studies have shown that people who were breast-fed as infants have lower blood pressure on average than those who were formula-fed. Thus, it is not surprising that other studies have shown that heart disease is less likely to develop in adults who were breast-fed in infancy.
- Significant evidence suggests that breast-fed children develop fewer psychological, behavioral and learning problems as they grow older. Studies also indicate that cognitive development is increased among children whose mothers choose to breastfeed.
- In researching the psychological benefits of breast milk, one researcher found that breast-fed children were, on average, more mature, assertive and secure with themselves as they developed.
Benefits to the Mother
Studies indicate that breastfeeding helps improve mothers' health, as well as their children's. A woman grows both physically and emotionally from the relationship she forms with her baby. Just as a woman's breast milk is designed specifically to nourish the body of an infant, the production and delivery of this milk aids her own health. For example:
- Breastfeeding helps a woman to lose weight after birth. Mothers burn many calories during lactation as their bodies produce milk. In fact, some of the weight gained during pregnancy serves as an energy source for lactation.
- Breastfeeding releases a hormone in the mother (oxytocin) that causes the uterus to return to its normal size more quickly.
- When a woman gives birth and proceeds to nurse her baby, she protects herself from becoming pregnant again too soon, a form of birth control found to be 98 percent effective -- more effective than a diaphragm or condom. Scientists believe this process prevents more births worldwide than all forms of contraception combined. In Africa, breastfeeding prevents an estimated average of four births per woman, and in Bangladesh it prevents an estimated average of 6.5 births per woman.
- Breastfeeding appears to reduce the mother's risk of developing osteoporosis in later years. Although mothers experience bone-mineral loss during breastfeeding, their mineral density is replenished and even increased after lactation.
- Diabetic women improve their health by breastfeeding. Not only do nursing infants have increased protection from juvenile diabetes, the amount of insulin that the mother requires postpartum goes down.
- Women who lactate for a total of two or more years reduce their chances of developing breast cancer by 24 percent.
- Women who breastfeed their children have been shown to be less likely to develop uterine, endometrial or ovarian cancer.
- The emotional health of the mother may be enhanced by the relationship she develops with her infant during breastfeeding, resulting in fewer feelings of anxiety and a stronger sense of connection with her baby.
- A woman's ability to produce all of the nutrients that her child needs can provide her with a sense of confidence. Researchers have pointed out that the bond of a nursing mother and child is stronger than any other human contact. Holding the child to her breast provides most mothers with a more powerful psychological experience than carrying the fetus inside her uterus. The relationship between mother and child is rooted in the interactions of breastfeeding. This feeling sets the health and psychological foundation for years to come.
Social and Economic Benefits of Breastfeeding
The benefits of breastfeeding go beyond health considerations. Mothers who nurse their children enjoy social and economic advantages as well. For example:
- Women who breastfeed avoid the financial burden of buying infant formula, an average expense of $800 per year.
- Breast-fed babies are less likely to need excessive medical attention as they grow. In one study, a group of formula-fed infants had $68,000 in health care costs in a six-month period, while an equal number of nursing babies had only $4,000 of similar expenses.

"The Murky Realm" is a biographical sketch of a tragic union with some creative engineering...
My parents never should have gotten married. But even though my father was gay and my mother was chemically imbalanced, this was the 60s, when single men in their forties did not identify as queer and people with personality disorders were rarely diagnosed, much less treated. And marriage was inexorable. The tragedy, of course, is that five children came out of this unhappy coupling. But that's not the point of this story. That comes later. "The Murky Realm" is about how these two people got together, fell apart, came back together, then fell apart again only to get back together again...
The story is pieced together from what we were told growing up, what I remember from my father's various tales and walking a mile in both their shoes as an adult.
The text is typewritten on my Olympia Manual.
The size is 5.5 x 7 and the cover is cardstock with a handwritten title piece glued on.
The first printing is limited to 50 numbered copies.
The page count is 44.

Complete Summary: Born to help her dying sister. Forced into adoption when she was not a match. Bella Swan grew up in an abusive home, spending most of her childhood thinking she was dying. Now life has given her a second chance. Can she manage to live by her own standards, or will her history define her future?
**This story will contain images and descriptions of abuse. If that is a trigger, or you prefer not to read about that, I understand. This is rated Mature for a reason**
I am not Stephanie Meyer. Obviously, but I am having quite a time with her characters.
And now...onto the story:
September 1993
She was perfect.
The baby had ten tiny fingers and ten tiny toes with a ton of black hair covering her head. However, as her sister's oncologist, Dr. Carlisle Cullen knew that she also had the potential to be a lifesaver, and her parents viewed her as the salvation of their family. Dr. Cullen prayed that she would indeed be the match her sister needed.
With a heart full of hope, he harvested the cord blood from the new baby and prepared it for lab testing. As he was finishing up, his thoughts turned to blood counts, bone marrow, and transplant preparation. It was through this haze of thoughts that he watched as the gynecologist placed the new baby in her mother's arms.
Victoria Biers had been dealt a tough hand with Riley, her first daughter. Diagnosed at four with leukemia, they have been in and out of the hospital their entire lives. With the new baby, whose name Dr. Cullen was eagerly anticipating, the Biers family grew, hopefully providing match for Riley. At least, this was what he assumed was the intention. Taking the cord blood to the lab to make sure she was a match for 5-year old Riley, he left the family to celebrate the birth of their baby girl.
Carlisle dropped off the sample at the lab and decided to wait it out After the tech informed him it would be thirty minutes, he decided to get a few errands done while he waited. He popped into his office, returned some calls, refreshed his coffee, and got a snack in the cafeteria. He only had to wait for a few minutes once he returned to the lab and wasted no time getting the results from the hematologist.
Unfortunately, the results were conclusive and Dr. Cullen readied himself to pass on the heartbreaking news. He hoped that even with the news, they could hold onto the fact that they still had a wonderful baby. When he reached the room, James, Victoria's husband and the father of her daughters, was pacing in front of the door as he waited for the results of the typing test. Ushering James into the room, Carlisle opened his mouth to deliver the bad news, but closed it again when he noticed the baby wasn't with them. Instead of gaping like a fish, he blurted, "Where is the baby? I would love to see her again."
"She's in the nursery for now," Victoria stated with very little emotion. As a pediatric oncologist, Carlisle spent as much time with the parents as he did the patients. For Victoria to be demonstrating this much apathy worried him greatly. He knew she was under tremendous amounts of stress due to Riley's situation, but post-partum depression usually took longer to manifest itself. He also worried that this much trauma had caused some sort of PTSD behaviors. He decided he would add these thoughts to her file later, but now was not the time to psychoanalyze Victoria.
Steadying his breath, he gave the worst news he can give parents.
"Well, James, Victoria, I wish I could say I have good news, but it looks like the baby isn't a close enough match for Riley to chance a transplant. I'm going to recommend that we keep her on the transplant list for now while you care for your new baby."
Watching their expressions fall was tough, but then a weird look of…resolve...came over Victoria's face. Carlisle was about to ask what she was thinking when she spoke up.
"Carlisle, we don't have another baby. Just, get rid of it. If it can't help Riley, we don't want it." To say the doctor was shocked was a massive understatement. James flashed a grimace at his wife, stood and walked toward the doctor, gesturing to Carlisle with his hand to join him in the hallway.
"Please understand, right now I need to worry about my wife and Riley. We aren't cruel people, but if Riley," he shuddered out a sob, "were to lose her fight, I can't promise we would be fair to the baby. I will make sure she gets a good home, but sh…we don't have the energy for another child, and we were hoping that she could have saved Riley. We… well… we just don't really have the energy for any more children. Thank you, Dr. Cullen. That will be all for now. Like I said, I need to take care of my wife." With a slump of his shoulders, James then returned to his wife where he heard her gently crying. With a sneer of disgust at the new mother and the anger rolling off him in waves, Carlisle correctly assumed her tears were for Riley and not the baby they had just essentially thrown away.
Carlisle had never felt such hatred for two people in his entire life, but he was not one to allow his emotions to guide his actions. How could they do that to a child? A beautiful, innocent baby no less!
Luckily for them, it wasn't his place to try to make them see the error of their ways. However, he decided to do the only thing he could to keep his conscious clean; he would hand Riley's treatment off to a different doctor, as he could no longer be impartial. Theoretically wiping his hands of the family, he walked away from the Biers' room. He had no way of knowing that the beautiful little baby would one day become one of the most important people in his life.

I did get a clarification on the disposal of the filters just now from my boss. We can throw them in the trash because they have been tested! We have to have them tested every five years for what nasties are in them. They have passed so they can be thrown in the garage, maybe your boss needs to look into that?
My previous "lead" aka paint shop supervisor had it done by independent test lab and they said they can be thrown in dumpster and are not hazardous.
Now this guy - new plant supervisor comes along and tells us to put them in 55 gal drums and then they haul them off. This supervisor asked a company "Safety Kleen" if they are dangerous and they're like "oh ya, they're bad, you should pay us to haul them off"
It is so bad now that when we sweep inside spray booth we have to plastic bag it and put it inside barrels to have them hauled off also.
This guy doesn't ask anyone or consult with previous supervisor to find out information. He just does what he thinks he should do.
I was promised a lead position but they put old guy in charge who used to paint caskets and is a complete idiot. This place has done downhill since I've started working there 7.5+ years ago.
They don't want to put in as a supervisor cause I do a lot of work for very little pay and they would loose a good painter.
I think once I finish project at home I'm doing for a guy I will be going to truck driving, make more money there and won't have to deal with as many idiots and chemicals.

I just bought an '06 wrx wagon and I can't wait to get out of the break-in period! What a car!!!
The manual states that I must use at least 91 octane. Ok, 91 is fine with me, but what's the effect of using 93 octane?
I know on engines that take 87 octane, using 91 is actually bad (And I understand why, as well) but I'm not sure how 93 would affect my wrx. I'm guessing I should stick with 91.
The main reason I ask is that there's a station nearby that discounts 93 on tuesdays and thursdays, so if it's better to get 93, I'll do so there.

South Assesses Damage from Saturday's Tornado
Authorities are still trying to understand the destruction caused by a tornado that carved a path of destruction from Louisiana to Mississippi on Saturday.
The Associated Press reports that a dozen people died in the storm--ten in Mississippi and two in Alabama. More than 30 people were injured.
Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour says that the twister wreaked "utter obliteration" in his state. The tornado damaged hundreds of homes and left many residents without electricity. The National Weather Service said that the tornado had winds of 160 miles an hour. The search is still on for people who may be stranded or trapped in buildings because of the tornado.

Wgraph -- the mediawiki graph definition tool
Wgraph is a mediawiki extension which supports graph drawing. With Wgraph you define the semantics of a graph in an abstract textual notation called WGL (Wiki Graph Language). You may add hints for layout, but the graph itself will be produced automatically. Wgraph is a powerful visualisation instrument for objects and their relations. It is NOT a 'wysiwyg' drawing tool.
(made with Wgraph)
{{#wgraph: svg | thumb = 40 | node wgl { type data label "text notation\n-- WGL --" } edge wgl wgraph { kind rightnear color red } node wgraph { type process label "Wgraph\nmediawiki extension" } edge wgraph gdl { } node gdl { type data label "graph definition\n-- GDL --" } edge gdl aisee { } node aisee { type process label "aiSee\nlayout generator" href aiSee } // hyperlink to article (only svg) edge aisee img { kind leftnear color blue } node img { type data label "image\n-- png, svg --" shape hexagon } nodetype data { shape ellipse, color lightyellow, bordercolor khaki, height 60 } nodetype process { shape box color lightmagenta bordercolor magenta height 60 } xspace=70, yspace=100 }}
Graph layout is a very challenging task. Wgraph delegates most of this task to a brilliant product called aiSee. aiSee came out of the German university area 15 years ago and is now being marketed commercially by AbsInt, Saarbrücken, Germany. You can download a free 30-day trial version. Here are direct download links for your convenience:
- aiSee 2.2.28 for Windows (3.5MB)
- aiSee 2.2.28 for 32-bit Linux (1.9MB)
- aiSee 2.2.28 for 64-bit Linux (2.0MB)
- Other platforms
aiSee can be registered for free for non-commercial use. Non-commercial use is educational, academic research and private use. Non-commercial users can get a license key that extends the usage period of the trial version until February 14, 2009. After that you will have to download aiSee again (and the usage period will be extended for another year, provided the usage is still non-commercial).
The two modes to use Wgraph
Wgraph is an interface between mediawiki and aiSee. It hides aiSee completely from the eyes of the user and adds a small additional abstraction layer to make graph definitions even more comfortable than with native aiSee.
- The direct way to use Wgraph is to invoke the parser function #wgraph with your WGL code as a parameter.
- In combination with another mediawiki extension (called DPL: Dynamic Page List) you can even visualize structural aspects of your wiki as a wikigraph. In a wikigraph articles map to nodes, categories to nodetypes and relations are deduced from template calls.
With Wgraph you can view a graph definition from different angles. You can hide certain nodes / edges and emphasize others. You can group nodes to subgraphs and show them in a special surrounding box. There are several layout strategies to choose from. You control the graphical representation of nodes and edges using shapes, colors, linestyles, arrows and even bitmap images. To avoid redundancy and reach a higher level of abstraction you can take advantage of the built-in WGL type concept.
Graphs are produced in png and svg format. In addition there is a png thumb image. Apart from viewing the generated graph in the browser, aiSee can be used as a local client application. This gives enhanced possibilities of edge concentration, subgraph folding etc. Make sure that you comply to the licensing terms of AnsInt.
Wgraph -- current release is 0.87

If you are using Wgraph please put a reference to your wiki in Wgraph:Websites using Wgraph. If you would like to have Wgraph as part of the Wikipedia, vote for it on bugzilla.

Los Angeles Azules
Though Los Ángeles Azules drew large audiences wherever they played, their next studio offering, 2004's Nunca Te Olvidaré, didn't resonate as well and peaked at number 49 on the Latin albums chart. They continued to tour, playing soccer stadiums in Mexico and South America, and even at Yankee Stadium. When they reentered the studio in 2006, they recorded their first all-covers disc at the suggestion of Disa. Because of the similarity in pitch and timbre of de la Peña's voice to Juan Gabriel's, they cut ten of his songs for the album Interpretan Éxitos de Juan Gabriel. It was their last album for Disa. More personnel changes occurred and the band signed with Discos Musart/Balboa Records. Their debut, Tu Juguete, was issued in 2008; two singles followed, but neither the album nor its track picks charted. The band, citing lack of promotion, left Discos Musart immediately thereafter. They toured the United States and Argentina, and the South American nation became a second home for Los Ángeles Azules due to the popularity of their particular style of cumbia.
In 2009, they were invited to perform at the first El Paraíso de la Cumbia, where they shared a stage with Mexican Institute of Sound (Camilo Lara) and Argentina's El Hijo de la Cumbia. The meeting with Lara would prove fateful. Without a label, Los Ángeles Azules continued to tour, but found inroads to the music industry difficult given its changing nature, with narcocorridos, hip-hop, merengue, and pop emerging as dominant forms. The group cut the independently released album A Ritmo de Cumbia in 2012 for the production and distribution label Casete Mexico, but given limited distribution and promotion, it didn't sell. Los Ángeles Azules refused to surrender, though they probably felt like it.
In 2013 they were invited to play the Vive Latino festival. That performance proved a rousing success, and a reversal of their (mis)fortunes. They were signed by the Sony-distributed OCESA Seitrack. The label enlisted Lara and Toy Selectah to produce a new album. Entitled Cómo Te Voy a Olvidar, it showcased Los Ángeles Azules re-recording their hits in duet with guest vocalists including Carla Morrison, Lila Downs, Ximena Sariñana, and many more. A television program called Cumbia Fuzion followed, which featured the group in performance backed by the Mexico City Symphony Orchestra. The previous album was re-released as Cómo Te Voy a Olvidar Edición de Super Lujo and included a bonus disc with the symphony performance. It eventually landed at number five on the regional Mexican albums charts.
Later that year, the band went to Cuba to record, with Lara and Toy Selectah co-producing. They released Viernes Cultural. Its title track single featured Haydée Milanés in duet. Other guest vocalists included Gilberto Santa Rosa, Gustavo Parisi, and Banda Bastón. Its success in the Caribbean and Mexico, and throughout Latin America, offered them an opportunity to perform in Cuba and tour with its national symphony. Various American dates were booked and recorded as Los Ángeles Azules re-signed with Disa. The album De Plaza en Plaza: Cumbia Sinfonica was issued in September 2016, debuting at number 12 on the Hot Latin Albums chart in October. ~ Drago Bonacich

Cell tower opponents, while fighting scattershot battles around the county, are looking at ways to change the laws that govern tower permits.
At a meeting in the parking lot of the Brandon YMCA on Monday, homeowners from as far as Carrollwood tried to persuade County Commissioner Al Higginbotham to introduce changes to the land development code that would limit tower construction.
They say they are reaching out to other commissioners and state lawmakers, including state Rep. Betty Reed, D-Tampa, who took notice when a tower went up at Robles Elementary School in East Tampa.
Homeowners in recent years have mobilized against towers throughout the city and suburbs, particularly on school grounds.
Controversial sites that have won approval include the YMCA where Monday's meeting took place; a small shopping center on Henderson Boulevard in South Tampa, where neighbors staged a protest that same evening; and Cannella Elementary School in Carrollwood. Tampa City Council was to take a second vote on the Henderson Boulevard site on Thursday.
Carrie Grimail, an anti-tower activist in South Tampa, acknowledged that the fights can be frustrating. "I'll tell you why," she said. "The laws that are there were written by the lobbyists."
She and her neighbors scuttled a planned tower at Coleman Middle School after the principal weighed in against it, which is an option under school district policy.
In December, a Hillsborough County land use hearing officer denied a tower application at Buchanan Middle School in the Lake Magdalene area on grounds that it would create an unpleasant view, was inconsistent with a future land use plan and might not even be needed. Collier Enterprises II, the developer, appealed that ruling. A hearing is set for April 9.
Collier president Stacy Frank, a lawyer now running as a Democrat for a state House seat, has been involved in many of these battles. Her company has a contract with the school district to lease land for the towers.
Health concerns cannot be cited
The opponents, who say excessive radio wave emissions can cause dizziness, headaches and perhaps cancer, cannot block tower construction on those grounds. That's because the federal government establishes emission guidelines, then presumes the towers are safe if they are followed.
They can argue that the towers will be eyesores, lower property values or create other hazards; for example, they might topple in a storm, or children might be injured when playing on the surrounding equipment.
Ellen and Lee Vaughan, who are at the forefront in the battle at Buchanan, are asking for greater setbacks to protect surrounding buildings and their occupants. They also worry about flying debris from damaged towers.
"This is the lightning capital of the world," said Lee Vaughan, who asked for a 1,500-foot setback.
Jim Porter, a lawyer for Collier, said modern towers are held to the same standards as other buildings in Florida, which enable them to withstand hurricane-force winds. "To my knowledge, there has never been a failure of a tower in Florida," he said.
Denise Verrill, a Seffner homeowner who was involved in the YMCA dispute, said she also would like to see a provision that would deny a tower permit if there was enough opposition from surrounding neighbors.
Many neighborhood associations are not aware of the petitions, she said, partly because the county has a confusing way of registering them. "We have no voice," she said.
Near the Buchanan site, Ellen Vaughan said, "our homeowner association, which borders the school — we share a fence with the school — was not notified."
Higginbotham said he would study the materials the activists gave him and arrange a meeting in about a week.
"The cell companies, I'm sure, are going to say they've got to have them to keep quick and efficient service," he said, suggesting the county might give businesses incentives to put towers in their parking lots.
State and federal laws to consider
Porter, a former assistant county attorney, said it is not easy for local government to increase setbacks.
First, there is the Federal Communications Commission, which announced recently that it wants to make broadband service more widely available.
In addition, the state's E-911 legislation requires local governments to consider coverage needs when weighing in on where to allow a cell tower.
"We try to find sites where we are not going to have an impact," Porter said. "But when it comes to residential areas, that's where the need is."
He also denies that they lower property values. If anything, he said, good signals make a home more desirable.
Mike Rothenburg, a cell tower opponent in South Tampa, said his understanding of the E-911 law gives local governments plenty of latitude in mandating setbacks.
He said he thinks that as more lawmakers hear from their constituents, the issue will bubble up in the Legislature.
"And at some point," he said, "we will be back in front of the School Board."

Major: Criminal Justice
Minor: Political Science
Current Residence: South Bend
Jon is currently recruiting for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. If you are interested, please check out the Indiana DNR website or call 317.964.1900.
What are you doing now?
I have been employed since 2009 as an Indiana Conservation Officer. I also have responsibilities as a River Rescue Instructor, Honor Guard Member, Media Spokesperson/Recruiter, and many more.
Indiana Conservation Officers enforce all laws of the State of Indiana and federal wildlife laws. We serve the public and protect Indiana's natural heritage for future generations.
I patrol by boat, ATV, snowmobile, jet-ski, and 4x4 trucks to reach all areas of the state. Our motto is "Our patrol begins where the blacktop ends."
In my time as a conservation officer, I have received the District One Officer of the Year Award and have taught numerous outdoor education classes.
Not only have I graduated from the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, but I have successfully completed the 16-week long ICO recruit school in which typically 50% drop out. I am a river rescue instructor and have been requested to respond to natural disasters across the county. I sincerely love my job and wouldn't do anything else at this point in my life. I credit, in part, my success to my education I received at Saint Joseph College.
Why did you choose SJC?
I chose Saint Joseph's College for many reasons. When choosing a college to attend, I did my research. SJC has a great reputation and is well respected across the country. The Core Curriculum was important to me as well and has proved to give me an advantage over other college programs.
Another great thing about SJC was the opportunities I was provided to be involved. I was recruited by Prof. Robb Thiel to participate in the College Band. Prof. Thiel, along with other professors, made me feel welcome on campus. Lastly was the small size of SJC. I was a person with a name, not a number.
As a student, what was your experience like at SJC?
As a student, I was happy to be involved on campus and SJC offered plenty of opportunities. I was president of the Criminal Justice Club, vice president of the College
Republicans, a member of the Student Association, Band, student security, and the list goes on. There was never any shortage of extracurricular activities. The small size of SJC helped to create some lasting friendships that I am still thankful for.
What experiences did you appreciate most in the department of your major?
While I was a student at SJC, I could appreciate many things that the Criminal Justice Department provided. One experience that stands out is the internship with the Indiana Conservation Officers. The internship made me even more confident in my career choice. It also strengthened my resume and helped me to obtain my current career in one of the most sought- after law enforcement positions in the country.
How were the faculty members in your department helpful?
All of the faculty members in my department were always willing to help. I remember Sr. Pat, my faculty advisor, was always checking up on me and encouraging me to pursue
my goals. Prof. Greene was my law professor, and like most professors at SJC, knew me by name.
Dr. Greene was critical in developing the knowledge I use today to be successful in court. Prof. Hartley was instrumental in setting up the internship that opened the door for me to go straight from college into a career that I knew I would enjoy. I still speak with Dr. Hartley today on a regular basis.
How did the Core Program integrate with your
The Core Curriculum afforded me the opportunity to get started right away with my major. Core not only integrated well with my major, but also integrated into many aspects of my life. It helped me shape my perspective on life. Core gave me the skills needed to make educated decisions after analyzing all sides to an issue.
These skills are not only important to my career and major. They are an important skill to master for all segments of life.
What advice would you give to a prospective student?
The advice I would give to a prospective student majoring in Criminal Justice is to take advantage of all of the opportunities available. Take a variety of classes—like Forensic Science. Become a member of the Criminal Justice Club.
Definitely explore your career with an internship or field experience program. Get to know your professors and communicate your goals to them. Saint Joseph College offers so much more in the field of Criminal Justice, and it is up to you to get involved.
I am proud to be a Puma, and I have no regrets that I attended Saint Joseph College.
View the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Media Gallery.
Get a jump start on your career and have your resume ready to go at graduation.
Small colleges offer you personal attention; SJC professors do more for you—they serve as mentors.
The Core Program is all about you and your role in the world.
You get more deeply involved at SJC, so you get more meaningful experiences that prepare you for career and life.
Get real-life experience and become an excellent communicator.

Oct 17, 2013 - By Kelli Ameling, Staff WriterVolunteer help has dried up for the Wyoming State Winter Fair, and event organizers say the fair will be discontinued if more community support is not offered immediately.
Winter Fair president John Schumacher sent a letter to county officials and media outlets Oct. 11 regarding the situation.
"The Winter Fair is a non-profit organization and is put on by a group of volunteers, which brings me to the purpose of this letter," Schumacher wrote. "Without new support from the community, the Winter Fair will end."
The fair, staged annually in Lander for the past 45 years, has seen its volunteer pool age and shrink.
It has no affiliation with the Fremont County Fair or the Wyoming State Fair and is not supported by tax money.
Schumacher thanked business sponsors for their steady support over the years, but he said the Winter Fair board still needs more help if the event is to survive.
The Winter Fair offers a lineup of consumer shows, agriculture and animal competition, and entertainment each winter in a schedule usually encompassing two to three weeks.
"Frankly, there is not as much energy as in their earlier years," Schumacher stated. "Without additional volunteers to share and spread out the work, we cannot continue."
The board held an informational meeting earlier this month in hope of gathering new ideas and ways to operate the fair, but Schumacher wrote that the meeting drew no public participation at all.
"My conclusion is that either there is no interest in the community to continue the Winter Fair, or that the Winter Fair is a much lower priority than other events in people's lives," the letter stated.
He said the board plans another meeting at 6 p.m. Oct. 24 in the Carnegie Room of the Lander Library to give one more chance for community support to be expressed.
"Sometimes things run their course, but the board does not want to pull the plug if the community does, in fact, have a real interest in continuing the benefits of the Winter Fair," Schumacher wrote.

Over the years, wildlife filmmakers have learned to make documentaries with the kinds of story arcs found in dramatic movies or literature. Disney's recent African Cats, for example, has Shakespearian undertones: A family of cheetahs in Kenya's Masai Mara reserve become rivals to a pack of lions—Capulets and Montagues, anyone? The television series "Meerkat Manor" is even more theatrical, with a hierarchy embroiled in scandal and power struggles. Other wildlife films incorporate humans to add tension—classics like Born Free, about a woman who raises a lioness in Central Africa. All these elements help audiences connect with the natural world, but there has to be a balance. Too much anthropomorphizing can cheapen a nature doc, but without a good story hook, even films with incredible cinematography can fall flat.
In the next few weeks—from May 7 through May 14—the 34th annual International Wildlife Film Festival screens 100 films that attempt to tell wildlife stories that are both entertaining and accurate. Among those, The Rise of Black Wolf is at the top, as a film that tells a good, solid story without resorting to melodrama. The Montana-made documentary, by Emmy Award-winner Bob Landis, follows almost the entire life of one wolf as he breaks from his pack and lives to be nine-and-a-half years old—one of the oldest wolves documented in Yellowstone National Park. This particular black wolf, known by scientists and wolf enthusiasts as Black Wolf, Casanova, and 302M, has been the protagonist in other Landis films, including In the Valley of the Wolves, and was monitored by the Yellowstone Wolf Project because of his unique behavior.
Following one wolf to tell a story about all wolves is one thing, but The Rise of Black Wolf is about following one wolf to show how it's different. It's about a wolf that appears to not follow wolf rules. The film sets the tone from the beginning when the narrator says: "There is a code among wolves: Honor the hierarchy. Maintain order. Obey the rules. But this is the story of a rebel."
Black Wolf's early years aren't actually documented. The film fills that story with footage of other wolf pups playing along the banks of a Yellowstone stream. This could feel like cheating if the filmmakers weren't so honest about it, and it seems like a necessary way to show young wolf behavior and what happens to a pack as new generations of wolves come into the picture. In the hands of Landis, who's filmed wolves for decades, it doesn't seem cheap, especially since it supports his main conjecture about Black Wolf's submissive behavior, something that would eventually serve him well.
There's some fantastic footage here. In one scene, a wolf weaves through unconcerned herds of bison trying to save an elk carcass from a grizzly sow. In another, Landis captures Black Wolf playfully batting pine cones through the snow and tumbling down hills, all to the tune of foot-tapping harmonica. It's charming and humorous, teetering on the edge of silliness, but Landis sets it up effectively as a contrast to other heavier scenes such as the heartbreaking moment when Black Wolf watches, terrified, as a helicopter hovers above him.
It's easy to believe that in the wild, dominance and physical strength reign above all other survival traits. Black Wolf's story is about how his more submissive approach to social status helps him live longer than his peers. From being merely youthfully submissive, Black Wolf begins to see other sneaky ways to achieve his adult goals of mating and getting food. He bides his time. He finds refuge on one of the Yellowstone roads where no other wolves dare to follow him, no matter how much they want to kick him out of their territory. In the process, he charms female wolves to the road and mates with them, all the while avoiding run-ins with the males.
The Rise of Black Wolf won this year's Best Animal Behavior award for the festival, and for good reason. Landis captures a wolf that fulfills a hero archetype, and that's what makes it so successful. The animal kingdom is an amazing place in and of itself. But when you have one animal whose life plays out like Odysseus's journey, it's impossible to resist. Add to that Landis's knowledge of wolves and a well-interpreted plot, and you've got gold.
The Rise of Black Wolf plays at the Wilma Tuesday, May 10, at 7 PM followed by a Q&A with Bob Landis; Wednesday, May 11, at 2:30 PM; and Saturday, May 14, at 5 PM, with American Serengeti. 50 min.

I have no ETA simply because we don't have anything concrete. We have a box full of emails, some trivial and some quite serious as per an acquisition of the brand. We're investigating all inquiries. From where I sit I surely hope someone with the interest and resources comes forward soon.Are we talking about six months? A year?
We have never tried to shy away from the fact that Navigator was sourced from Firefox. Usually but not always, the "reskinned, rebadged and cloned" comments come from those that are in a rant with nothing better to do than enter the juvenile comments. I usually dismiss them as such.Netscape Navigator was really not "that much more" than a reskinned Firefox
It all depends on your level of expertise and awareness of security issues and notices, etc. If you practice safe hex you usually have nothing to fear but fear itself. I still use Communicator 4.8 and NS 7.2 on occassion without a hint of being afraid. I also run with Kaspersky AV which will alert me of any website with malicous code .. and it has done so on many occasions. I am in no way making "lite" of security issues, just that there is really no fear of an incident if basic precautions are employed.Now you tell me that folks can still use it and that the fact that NN9 won't be updated in a few weeks is no big deal
You said it I didn't.and Secunia can go to blazes
Only IF somebody else picks up the brand.going to see these "exciting things"

Dublin, Ohio • Matt Kuchar thrived in tough conditions that sent Tiger Woods to the worst nine holes of his PGA Tour career Saturday.
Kuchar survived a nasty combination of swirling wind and fast greens at Muirfield Village for a 2-under 70, giving him a two-shot lead over Kevin Chappell and Kyle Stanley going into the final round.
Woods rallied on the front nine to salvage a 79, matching his second-worst score on the PGA Tour. Going for his sixth win at the Memorial and his fourth victory in his last five tournaments, Woods had two double bogeys and a triple bogey on the back nine for a 44, breaking by one shot his highest nine-hole total as a pro.
Kuchar was at 8-under 208, among 10 players separated by only four shots.
"I think most of us would tend to be surprised any time Tiger shoots a number like that, but a lot more understandable in these conditions," Kuchar said. "If you're not on good form, these conditions are really going to beat you up."
Chappell shot 68, and Stanley had a 73.
Bill Haas, the 36-hole leader, ran off three straight bogeys late in his round for a 76, and he wasn't all that upset about it. Haas was still only three shots back.
Shanshan Feng shot a marvelous 4-under 67 before the wind picked up and grabbed a three-shot lead after two rounds of the ShopRite LPGA Classic at Galloway Township, N.J.
Feng, who last year became the first Chinese player to win an LPGA Tour title and a major event in capturing the LPGA Championship, matched the best score of the day. Using a new set of clubs, she had a 6-under 136 total on the wind-whipped Bay Course at the Stockton Hotel and Golf Club.
First-round co-leader Moriya Jutanugarn of Thailand and Haeji Kang of South Korea shared second at 3 under. Jutanugarn had a 73, and Kang shot 69.
Defending champion and second-ranked Stacy Lewis shot a 9-over 80, matching her worst round since the third round of U.S. Women's Open last year. She fell from third to a tie for 50th.
Michelle Wie, looking for her first LPGA win in the United States, had a 73 to dropped to 1 under. She was tied for sixth with Karrie Webb, Hee Young Park and Karine Icher and first-round co-leader Amanda Blumenherst.
Champions Tour
Duffy Waldorf shot a 5-under 67 to take a one-stroke lead after the second round of the Champions Tour's Principal Charity Classic in Des Moines, Iowa.
Waldorf had an 8-under 136 total. Bart Bryant and St. George's Jay Don Blake were tied for second. Bryant had a 64, and Blake shot a 66. Russ Cochran was 6 under after a 67.
The 50-year-old Waldorf is winless in 12 career starts on the 50-and-over tour after winning four times on the PGA Tour. He took advantage of calm conditions at the Wakonda Club to post a bogey-free round after opening with a 69 for a share of the first-round lead.
Matt Kuchar -8
Kevin Chappell -6
Kyle Stanley -6
Mike Weir +6
Rory McIlroy +6
Tiger Woods +8

Dennis from Tarpon Springs, FL asks:
Is there a way to use Outlook Express 6 with Win7, or is there an e-mail program similar to OE6 that can be used with Win7?
While certainly not the most sophisticated e-mail client, Outlook Express has achieved quite a following throughout the years, if for no other reason than its sheer ubiquity, having been bundled with every copy of Windows sold from the first edition of Windows 98, up until the release of Windows Vista. With Vista came a "new" bundled e-mail client, "Windows Mail." Effectively Outlook Express with a slicker looking interface, Windows Mail lasted only one life cycle, until Windows 7 came along, bundled not with Windows Mail nor Outlook Express but . . . no e-mail client at all. The release of Windows 7 marked the first time since Windows 98 that a Windows operating system did NOT come bundled with any standard e-mail software. This left users with a number of options, from finding a new e-mail client (such as Eudora or The Bat!,) switching from using a dedicated e-mail program to a web based e-mail service like Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail, or downloading yet another "new" Microsoft e-mail program; Windows Live Mail.
Essentially a slightly updated version of the Windows Mail program included with Windows Vista, Windows Live Mail brings back the familiar features of Outlook Express, with a user interface that shares similarities with the latest version Microsoft's Office suite. Likely made with Microsoft Office, Outlook, and Outlook Express users in minds, Windows Live Mail is a perfect alternative for those looking for the simplicity and ease of use of Outlook Express, with an updated user interface in line with the rest of Microsoft's current generation of office products.
Since it's not included with Windows 7, how does one go about getting their hands on a copy of Windows Live Mail? Simple, follow these steps:
Step 1: Go to the Windows Live Mail 2011 website.
Step 2: Click the Download Now button and save the .exe Windows Live Essentials 2011 installer file to your hard drive.
Step 3: Once the file is saved, find it on your hard drive and double click it.
When prompted, click the Run button to begin the Windows Live Essentials installation.
Step 4: Once initialized, you will be asked to choose between two installation options: Install all of Windows Live Essentials (recommended) or Choose the program you want to install. Select Choose the program you want to install.
Step 5: On the next screen which appears, Select programs to install, clear all check boxes except the Mail check box under These programs will be installed, and click the Install button.
Step 6: The Installing Windows Live Essentials 2011 installation status box will appear. It may take a few minutes for Windows Live Mail to install, so sit back and let the installer do its work.
Step 7: Once Windows Live Mail has been fully installed, the status box will update to read Done! with two buttons beneath: Restart Now and Restart Later. Close any open programs and save any files you are currently working on and click Restart Now.
Step 8: Once your computer has restarted, click the Start menu button, click All Programs, then find and click on the Windows Live Mail program icon.
Step 9: Windows Live Mail will open, immediately displaying the Add your email accounts wizard. Where prompted, enter in your e-mail address, password, and name to be displayed on your outgoing e-mails. Once that information is entered, check the Manually Configure server settings check box, and click the Next button.
Step 10: You will now see the Configure server settings portion of the wizard. Enter in the requested information (Incoming and Outgoing servers, Server type, User Name, authentication protocol, etc.) If you are unsure about any of these settings, check your e-mail provider's documentation or speak with their tech support staff, if possible.
Once all information has been entered, click the Next button.
Step 11: You will now be taken to the Your email account was added dialog. Congratulations, you have just set up your e-mail account in Windows Live Mail! Click the Finish button to start using your e-mail.
Step 12: Just as in Outlook Express, the Send/Receive button allows you to check and send e-mail with one click. Click the Send/Receive button now to get your e-mail.
Step 13: Once you are ready to send an e-mail, click the Email message button to open up a new e-mail message. Once composed, click the big Send button to send your e-mail.
Thanks for the question, Dennis. Now that your alternative to Outlook Express is set up and ready to use, take some time to explore the new and updated features available in Windows Live Mail; you might just find a few that will make you happy that you did away with your old copy of Outlook Express.

This is the file needed to load Nextel ringtones, wallpapers, and games in Sprint Nextel, Iden, Boost, Telus Mike, SouthernLINK phones for free.
Éstos son los archivos necesitados para cargar los ringtones, los papeles pintados, y los juegos de Nextel en Nextel, Iden, alza, Telus Mike, teléfonos de SouthernLINK para libre. Ce sont les dossiers requis pour charger des ringtones, des papiers peints, et des jeux de Nextel dans Nextel, Iden, poussée, Telus Mike, téléphones de SouthernLINK pour libre
DO NOT STEAL MY PAGE!!! PLEASE POST A LINK TO ME! www.harrythompson.com
Before we get started here are some things you may need to know:
About loading ringtones in Iden Sprint Nextel phones:
You can not load ringtones by sending them via Bluetooth.
You can not load ringtones by sending them via text message.
You can not load ringtones via your multimedia card.
If your phone came with a usb flash drive you can not use it to load ringtones.
You must use a JAL loader & data cable. If you need a data cable I sell them here or now you can actually get it for free with trial pay. The only catch is that they want you to check out advertising and promotions. Click the link below.
If you use trial pay, besure to use valid information for me to contact you and ship the product to.
Websites promising free over the air Sprint Nextel ringtones require a weekly - monthly subscription. Normally $5 a week to $30 a month. It will sometimes require a phone call to India to cancel the service and they can charge your Nextel account but seem to lack the ability to credit your account back. They will offer to mail a check. Read the fine print and always check models supported.
Yes, your phone has an MP3 player but that doesn't mean you can assign MP3 ringtones from it.
All Sprint Nextel phones with a color screen and about 50% with mono chrome displays take midi ringtones. 99% with a color screen take wav ringtones. 25% with a color screen take MP3 ringtones. Midi ringtones are musical tones with no words. Wav ringtones have words and are real songs. The only problem is they are poor quality and tend to have a hiss to them. The mp3 ringtone is smaller in size and better quality.
About the Webjal Program:
Regardless what you read my server is alive and running (click here to verify that it is not locked up or crashed temporally.)
Because I am running the server and 99% of you buy the cables and cds off eBay I do not make a cent off of you. Therefore the guy who sold you my free site on a cd makes the money and I can not afford to host the server on a dedicated IP. So the ip (kind of like a phone number for computers) of the server changes every 4 to 6 months. When it changes come back and download the patch and all is well again.
Webjal requires an active internet connection to work.
There are NO known Mac/Apple Nextel programs. You have to buy ringtones. But hey think of all the money you save on virus protection!
Webjal is not for the Blackberry (instead see here)
Webjal does not work for Sprint PCS phones.
Webjal will not work for T-Mobile, Cingular, or Verizon.
Webjal will not work with the hybrid powersource phones like the ic402/ic502/ic602/ic902 instead see here for the programs.
Webjal will not work with the Sprint Nextel smart phones like the i920 or i930, instead see here for the programs.
Webjal supports midi, wav, and mp3 ringtones if your phone does.
Webjal will not take files off your phone it only sends files to your phone not from.
Webjal will load ringtones, wallpapers (gif), and j2me games (and applications like GPS (accutracker mologogo), calculator, gmail, or opera the internet browser.
Webjal requires Windows 98 and above and your language to be set to English.
Webjal can use a serial connection but, a ringtone will load via usb in 2 - 3 mins a serial will take 20 to 30 mins to load that same ringtone.
When using Vista you must install the files in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode.
When using Windows XP or Vista your user profile (windows sign in name) must have Administrator privileges.
Yes webjal will work to load free ringtones with the Boost Unlimited Plans and the i576 and i776.
Ok, now that those common questions are out of the way
(please no emails with any of those questions above).
Unplug the data cable and phone and shut down any programs running.
(Save this file)
Do not reinstall webjal for USB, user/password errors, server, dev center, or authentication errors,
don't because it is a waste of time. 99% of the time they will follow. See my webjal trouble shooting instead.
If you have problems installing webjal with Vista help is here
This is an all in one installer that contains the latest version of webjal r01.01.05,
latest usb drivers, and all the patches.
Save the file to your desktop. Then run it.
The install program is a cheesy dos batch file. I know I am dating myself, hey when I took computers in school they did not have hard drives. We used a cassette recorder and we programmed all day to get a curser to blink a few colors.. I know that a lot of you are reading this and saying what is a cassette recorder? It is the media somewhere between records and cds. As they said on the movie Airplane, "that's not important right now".
This webjal.bat file will install 5 programs/patches. I built it because people complained of how many programs and steps it was in the past. Now it is 1 program and it will do everything in the right order. It will download the files on demand so it will open internet explorer during the installation process. The reason I am doing it this way is because the Webjal server settings change about every 6 months. A lot of people make a nice living off of selling my instructions on ebay. If I do it this way, the files they sell will always be up to date. I am such a nice guy! No that is not why, I will get less of the people emailing me and complaining about me selling them stuff that did not work. Even though I did not sell them anything. Why would I, it's here free!!
Here are the instructions on how to use webjal after you install it.Oh and if you have had Webjal in the past, please see my instructions because webjal login has changed. You can no longer leave the user name and passcode blank.
Start webjal (Always grant webjal full access to the internet if your virus scanner/firewall asks)
. If that doesn't work then go here.
server errors see my trouble shooting instead.
OK Congrats Your now ready to install those ringtones into your Nextel.
Here are the instructions on fixing or making your own Nextel ringtones
Here is how to make your own wallpapersers
Submit or read user submitted Nextel/Sprint websites to get ringtones, wallpapers, and games from

Petroc Trelawny, the Radio 3 presenter who was unjustly arrested in Zimbabwe, is organising a concert on March 13 for the charity he founded, British Friends of the Zimbabwe Academy of Music.
The concert at the private residence of Sir Vernon Ellis, chair of the British Council, will feature South African baritone Njabulo Madlala and Australian pianist Leslie Howard.
Trelawny was compèring a music festival for BZAM last year when Zimbabwean immigration officials arrested him for working without a permit. But the BBC presenter had been giving his services for free and was released after six days. It takes more than a stretch in a Zimbabwean chokey to discourage this classical music campaigner.Reuse content

I almost got arrested once. Caught a BF cheating. Confronted him. In a supermarket. Threw merchandise at him. Bread, 2 liter bottles of soda, cans. The exBF has thus been nicknamed Mr. Cans. A Good Samaritan tried to intervene on Mr. Cans' behalf. That didn't work out so well. For him. It was a big kerfuffle. The manager called the police. They totally let me go, saying, "We think you had a reason to be upset." My hatred of cops subsided just a little that day. Thought about buying the cop some donuts. It was the supermarket where my estranged husband worked. Luckily, he was off that day. Until he decided to stop by for a pack of cigarettes...Right in the middle of the melee. Timing is everything...
No MAS.

A general efficient way to sample without replacement may be implemented
as a shuffling algorithm that iteratively swaps first element with a
random element between start and end, then swaps second with a random
element between second and end, and so on. In essence we shuffle as we
deal (don't try this in Las Vegas).
SetAttributes[deal, HoldFirst]
deal[deck_, start_, end_] := Module[
{len=Length[deck], rand},
Do [
rand = Random[Integer,{j,len}];
deck[[{j,rand}]] = deck[[{rand,j}]],
Take[deck, {start,end}]
deck = Range[52];
Let's pick four.
In[178]:= deal[deck, 1, 4]
Out[178]= {44, 18, 7, 9}
Now we can pick some more, say seven.
In[179]:= deal[deck, 5, 11]
Out[179]= {36, 34, 11, 45, 8, 2, 46}

A model I shot asked if posters could be produced to sell of one or two of the images I shot. I have no problem with this and we could share in the revenue but where would you start and also avoid a lot of up front money for posters.
On-line company that prints and mails ?

I'd just call a local printing company I use, find out what the minimum order is, find out how much it's going to cost, and then give the model a quote (along with something for my time and work to prepare the images, etc).
Either the model accepts it, which in case, get a deposit, or they don't.
The revenue sharing is fine, in theory, but how many will she sell, realistically? Will she even be able to cover the costs? The amount you'd get from it in a profit share is so little, you're better off just pricing up the job and giving her a quote.

I sell posters of the Boa Constrictors I shoot so I am not sure as far as what you guys are planning as far as splitting profits but generally when they are ordered I just submit the photo to costco and have a 20x30 print sent directly to the customer. Prints are like 8.99 shipping is just under 4 and they are marked at $30.

and many others do the same.
don't expect to get rich unless the model has a big following willing to spend money on her.
some models offer signed prints to their VIP customers (for example, sugar daddies who buy them stuff).
others do calendars. but unless the model has a big profile (like having their own porn site) i don't know if you can sell a lot of that stuff.
