Smartphone sales buck the recession
A report by Infonetics Research is forecasting an 8% drop in the total number of mobile phones sold in 2009, to 1.1 billion worldwide (down from 1.2 billion in 2008), in line with predictions from Nokia, among others. Smartphones were the best-performing segment of the mobile phones market in 2008 and the only segment to show unit and revenue growth in the second half of the year as the world economy entered recession. more

Many people suffer from depression at one point in their lives. Real depression is a medical condition that can be identified by specific symptoms, and is a result of an imbalance in the brain which can be caused by many things. As a result, someone suffering from depression can show many symptoms, including an overall sadness, nausea, and so on. There are various medications that have been created to help treat depression, including Celexa, one of the most popular drugs out there that can help those suffering from the condition.
Celexa is an antidepressant and the brand name for the drug citalopram, which is part of a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The way they work is by affecting the chemical process of your brain directly, in order to correct an imbalance which leads to symptoms of depression. It's often those chemical substances that become unbalanced and can cause depression, and by correcting this situation, Celexa helps treat depression. Obviously, depression can be brought by many different causes, and as such many medications can affect the condition in various ways. Celexa is still one of the most popular medications and one that is often prescribed to those who need an antidepressant drug. buy Celexa.
You should always talk to your doctor about any symptom of depression and whether Celexa is right for you. Some of the side effects include dizziness, nausea, vomiting and headaches. Talk to a medical professional if you experience any side effect. Most people start seeing the effects of Celexa after a few weeks of treatment.

Orbus Incorporated was established in April 2001 in a modest facility on South Michigan Avenue. It launched with a staff of three and two primary products. By the spring of 2002 the line expanded to 22 products with a growing need for graphic services. As a result, Orbus merged with Paul Person Graphics, a Chicago based tradeshow inkjet print house. The new and improved business relocated into a facility on the northwest side of Chicago.
By January of 2003, the Orbus graphics department was fully established and providing graphic services that coordinated with a range of over fifty various display products. Orbus later introduced an unbranded catalog with the first edition of The Exhibitors Handbook. With over one hundred products and trade customers in almost every major US city, Orbus had established a solid reputation and foundation. In 2005, with over sixty employees and a continually increasing product range, Orbus made plans for relocation.
March 2006 marked an agreement for a newly constructed facility in Bolingbrook, Illinois. By summer Orbus had been recognized as one of Americas top five market leaders by several trade publications and leading tradeshow authorities. SignPro Systems was launched in November 2007 as Orbus' first step into the modular signage industry. In 2009, Origin was launched as a provider of full custom solutions. Today with this expansion, Orbus has grown to employ over 175 team members and its product line includes over 300 products.

He has no idea what he is talking about. worst reviewer ever. This is a fantastic Game, i hate the Wii, and i enjoyed this. Much better than any Mario or Sonic game, this is a satisfying platformer that will teach you the history of Disney while telling a great story
Disney Epic Mickey Review
Game Emblems
The Bad
Tedium and monotony overwhelm Mickey's new adventure, smothering its clever use of the Disney license.
The Good
- Clever implementation of the Disney license
- Element of choice leads to some welcome unpredictability.
The Bad
- Imprecise controls and an awful camera
- Repetitive and frustrating combat
- Tedious objectives lack originality
- Little direction throughout the adventure
- Repeatedly replaying boring levels isn't fun.
Disneyland has the slogan, "The happiest place on earth," but you won't find much joy in Mickey's adventure through this Magic Kingdom. This evocative trip through Disney's hallowed history offers clever twists to the characters and imagery that have become ingrained in the popular consciousness, but these artistic touches are not enough to salvage the rest of the dour experience. A number of fundamental design flaws derail this colorful adventure before it ever has a chance to get going. Sloppy controls and a woeful camera continually stand in the way of your progress, but it's the preponderance of dull objectives that smothers any whiff of enjoyment. It just isn't fun to play Epic Mickey; even though the thoughtful story and imaginative visuals do their best to urge you along, it's not worth trudging through the uninspired and frustrating set pieces to get there. Epic Mickey uses nostalgia to suck you into this world, but its reliance on antiquated gameplay makes it a difficult game to endure.
Mickey has made a terrible mistake. Among all of the characters that have been created in Disney's illustrious history, a few of them have fallen to irrelevance along the way. These forgotten critters have retired to The Wasteland--a retirement home of sorts where characters from yesteryear exist far away from the outside world. But that darned mouse couldn't leave well enough alone. He spilled ink into this world one fateful day, drowning its citizens in a sea of black that ruined their peaceful existence. This is not a happy story, and the characters you meet along the way embody their decades of neglect in striking ways. It is this story that provides the strongest reason to experience Epic Mickey because it not only circumvents what you would expect from a Disney product, but it also provides heartfelt moments. The visuals suffer from low-resolution textures, but the artistic touches are certainly there. From the shabbily constructed Ventureland where sad pirates live out their existences to the neon bright Tomorrow Land, each area has its own personality.
It's just a shame that the gameplay in this 3D platformer doesn't do justice to this insightful look at Disney's history. You run and jump in a sluggish manner, so even though you eventually get where you want to go, there is no joy to the movement. The one element in Mickey's repertoire that separates Epic Mickey from other games in the genre is a magic paintbrush that has the power to create or destroy specific objects. This is a neat idea and does lead to a number of interesting situations. For instance, you can remove a piece of a mountain to find hidden treasure inside or paint a bridge to cross a dangerous lake. But even though this feature is used well at times, there isn't nearly enough freedom in how you use it. You can only interact with specific objects, and it's not always clear what you can and cannot spray. More troubling is the lack of permanence. Every time you exit and reenter an area, all of your hard work is erased, so even if you paint every object into existence, it disappears as soon as you leave the screen. Furthermore, your aiming cursor isn't always accurate, which means you have to line up your shot multiple times before the ink hits the right spot. Thus, this cool concept loses its impact as soon as you realize its limitations.
Unfortunately, Mickey's magic paintbrush is the only gameplay element that is even marginally unique. The rest of the game is a retread of countless games that have come before it. Your objectives are particularly stale. In each location you visit, there are characters you talk to who give you tasks to complete. But these boil down to tired fetch quests that are incredibly dull and time consuming. For instance, to help a pirate find true love, you have to travel from Ventureland and Ozland to the Mean Streets and then back to Ozland before you finally return to Ventureland where you complete your quest. While you dutifully walk from place to place, there aren't any fun jumping sequences or interesting battles, either; you just walk until you find the correct item and then return. And that's how much of Epic Mickey plays out. Its lifeless experience is further hampered by the bland 2D platforming levels between each section. The first time you play one of these stages, it's a treat because it looks like an old Disney cartoon. But the level design and controls are so stuck in the past and the collision detection is so poor that they aren't any fun to play, and once you slog through the same level a half-dozen times, you'll wish you could skip these portions entirely.

Know that Energy is NOT CREATED or DESTROYED. There are many forms of energy surrounding & flowing around us constantly. It has been said not to let anyone touch your stones 4 their negative energy can store in the stone reflecting bad things towards you. I do not mind if people touch my stones because I know they will benefit positively from it.
You just simply have to clear your stones to prevent harm. By sunlight, moonlight, in the freezer for a certain amount of time cleansing your possessions. Each stone has special instructions for cleansing so be careful so you do not damage your belongings. I believe the Good energy will ALWAYS remain in the stones.

Haggard Rovelli thermodynamics paper says what time is |

Haggard Rovelli thermodynamics paper says what time is
"Quantum jump" is a somewhat misleading term because the transition is not instantaneous. We can assume that at any given temperature there is a characteristic length of time it takes for the system to make the transition to a distinct quantum state. A local observer's proper time is essentially counting time in terms of that characteristic interval.
As I would paraphrase the following passage: thermal time is essentially a universal version of time that reconciles and unifies all those different clocks running at different temperatures. That is what equation (4) on page 1 is saying: τ = (kT/ Here is the context. ==quote 1302.0724, page 1== The core idea is to focus on histories rather than states. This is in line with the general idea that states at fixed time are not a convenient handle on general relativistic mechanics, where the notion of process, or history, turns out to be more useful [12]. Equilibrium in a stationary spacetime, namely the Tolman law, is our short-term objective, but our long-term aim is understanding equilibrium in a fully generally covariant context, where thermal energy can flow also to gravity [13–15], therefore we look for a general principle that retains its meaning also in the absence of a background spacetime. We show in this paper that one can assign an information content to a history, and two systems are in equilibrium when their interacting histories have the same information content. In this case the net information flow vanishes, and this is a necessary condition for equilibrium. This generalized principle reduces to standard thermodynamics in the non-relativistic setting, but yields the correct relativistic generalization. This result is based on a key observation: at temperature T, a system transits τ = (kT/ states in a (proper) time t, in a sense that is made precise below. The quantity τ was introduced in [13, 14] with different motivations, and called thermal time. Here we find the physical interpretation of this quantity: it is time measured in number of elementary "time steps", where a step is the characteristic time taken to move to a distinguishable quantum state. Remarkably, this time step is universal at a given temperature. Our main result is that two systems are in equilibrium if during their interaction they cover the same number of time steps... ==endquote== http://arxiv.org/abs/1302.0724 Death and resurrection of the zeroth principle of thermodynamics Hal M. Haggard, Carlo Rovelli (Submitted on 4 Feb 2013) The zeroth principle of thermodynamics in the form "temperature is uniform at equilibrium" is notoriously violated in relativistic gravity. Temperature uniformity is often derived from the maximization of the total number of microstates of two interacting systems under energy exchanges. Here we discuss a generalized version of this derivation, based on informational notions, which remains valid in the general context. The result is based on the observation that the time taken by any system to move to a distinguishable (nearly orthogonal) quantum state is a universal quantity that depends solely on the temperature. At equilibrium the net information flow between two systems must vanish, and this happens when two systems transit the same number of distinguishable states in the course of their interaction. 5 pages, 2 figures Notice that in the second paragraph of page 1 a distinction is made between two kinds of temperature--relativistic temperature labels the equivalence class of all systems which are in equilibrium with each other ( a kind of "zeroth law" temperature) and there is the temperature as measured by an ordinary thermometer. This is a place where the paper may need further elucidation. |
Feb6-13, 04:31 AM | #2 |
Rovelli's journey, now along with Haggard, continues to fascinate me (thanks Marcus), to whom it seems that they persuasively suggest: (1) that for many-component systems (not say atoms?)where temperature can be defined, time 'flows' in quantised steps of duration; (2) that the hotter the system, the smaller are the temporal steps ---time ticks the faster the hotter, as it were; and (3), perhaps most importantly, that one of our spacetime dimensions is quantised, which makes one wonder about the others.
Sadly, it seems that all this is way beyond the safety of experimental or observational confirmation. But one never knows! |
Feb6-13, 10:23 AM | #3 |
Because one definition is more naive than the other, they don't always agree, so not everything we use as a thermometer has the correct reading for temperature. Though it seems reasonable that they would sometimes agree. |

The Haggard and Rovelli use histories instead of states to make this result. Hartle recently wrote a paper about the history-based quantum theories which gives a good context for this paper.

==quote== to = According to the previous discussion, this is the average time the system takes to move from a state to the next (distinguishable) state. This average time step is there- fore universal: it depends only on the temperature, and not on the properties of the system. ==endquote== |
Feb9-13, 12:58 AM | #9 |
Implication is not the same as saying something! The duration of time, as quantified by counting steps that are transitions from one quantum state to another, in a thermodynamic system, is perhaps worth a little more 'unpacking' and discussion.
This thread was opened with the statement: Consider also the case of a non-thermal system, say a single atom. Here transitions involve the emission/absorption of a photon, and a 'step' or 'quantum jump' is, for any observer of the process, just her/his proper time for a single photon oscillation. (For an observer travelling with the photon, as it were, the measured proper time for the step is infinite, as in the case of 'thermal time' at absolute zero.) Remember that for a single atom the emergent anthro'centric concept of temperature is meaningless. In this case the observed frequency of emitted/absorbed light then quantifies step-length. It is just we slow-pokes who say that time passes and insist that we can distinguish colours of light. |
Feb9-13, 12:47 PM | #10 |
Paulibus, I can't think of any way to add to or improve on your comment. It points to several interesting directions of discussion. I'll think more about this idea of temperature, equilibrium and time and hope that by evening something will have occurred to me to contribute.
Feb9-13, 10:32 PM | #11 |
DimReg explained the H-R idea in terms of "relativistic temperature" which is the same between processes in equilibrium---but I don't see this concept of relativistic temperature defined or used in the paper. However DimReg's explanation was very helpful and points us in the right direction. I want to reproduce it with slightly different words.
What they actually said is at the very bottom of page 4, the second to last paragraph of the Conclusions. When things are at equilibrium what is the same is not the temperature, but the product of temperature and proper time. This should be the criterion, not temperature alone. This is actually a very simple idea and one can understand it with an example: Suppose upstairs and downstairs are at equilibrium. Then we know that proper time clocks run a little slower downstairs. Time goes slower deeper in a gravity well. But also, by the Tolman effect we know that the temperature downstairs is higher. So chemical processes run faster because of higher temperature. The proper time SECOND is longer downstairs, but more stuff happens in a second because of higher temperature. So there is an equilibrium of INFORMATION FLOW up and down. If the number of possible states up and down are equal, and downstairs is keeping the upstairs posted on all the changes it is experiencing, and vice versa, then there is a balance in the number of bits of information. This is said very imprecisely and it would need side conditions and additional clarification to make it meaningful, but that is the idea, I think. Information equilibrium. The bottom paragraph of the lefthand column on page 4, with its two clocks example may be clearer than what I just said. |
Feb10-13, 03:48 AM | #12 |
Marcus; your latest post confuses me a bit. Literally!
Your clever version of the popular TV soap, Upstairs, Downstairs is nicely scripted. But: "Then we know that proper time clocks run a little slower downstairs. Time goes slower deeper in a gravity well ". Not as measured by an observer located where the clock is situated, though. Physics is covariant. So as much stuff ruled by covariant physics happens in a downstairs proper second as in an upstairs proper second, or so it seems to me. When you added: " The proper time SECOND is longer downstairs, but more stuff happens in a second because of higher temperature" I think your first phrase may be wrong, unless you meant to involve another version of time, possibly thermal time? Or does the stipulation about number of possible states up and down being equal constitute the US cavalry to the rescue? But time is so tricky, and I'm a bit slow. Could you clarify who is doing the observing in this scenario, and with what kind of time, please? |

I think basic to thermodynamics is the idea of controlled contact and from this we get a primitive "pre-quantitative" idea of time as simply the interval when two systems are in contact, when they are interacting. They can be measuring time differently with different numbers but there is an unambiguous interval when the door or window is open between them. Controlled contact is basic to thermo because you want to be able to consider a system in isolation, when it is not in contact with environment. And you want to be able to put two systems together and talk about the flow of heat or of information between them. I think H&R are addressing a basic straightforward problem which is how do you talk about equilibrium in the general covariant setting. In the non relativistic setting you would associate equilibrium with being at the same temperature (during the interval of contact there is zero net heat flow, doesn't that mean same temperature?) But that doesn't work in curved space-time. You put two systems together and the temperature will never equalize if one is lower than the other! Downstairs always stays warmer! So what is it that does not flow when you briefly open the hatch between them? The downstairs clock runs slower so it measures the contact interval as having fewer seconds, but downstairs is warmer so more happens in a second. The upstairs clock runs faster so it measures the contact interval has having more seconds but the people up there are more chilly and reserved so less happens in a second. If there is equilibrium, I think H&R are saying, the "quantity of activity" during the contact interval is the same. Because of that trade-off. So if they are communicating thru the hatch there will be no net flow of information. This is a curious and tentative thought. Your asking questions helps me a lot. I think I see some questions that need to be asked. However I will wait and see if you have some in response to what I just said. (What is the same is the local temperature multiplied by the local proper time measure of the contact interval. Actually this has a name, it is the thermal time measure of the contact interval, that they call tau.) http://arxiv.org/abs/1302.0724 Death and resurrection of the zeroth principle of thermodynamics Hal M.

I understand your upstairs/downstairs model better now. Thanks, Marcus, for the clarification. Perhaps it helps to think of your 'amount of activity', upstairs or downstairs, as say 1/(the frequency of maximum-intensity local black body radiation). Which is an nice equilibrium thermal number itself, quite conWieniently proportional to temperature.
Of course we do actually live in a kind of upstairs/downstairs universe. We're up?stairs and the remote universe is down?stairs, exchanging with us red-shifted information, through a hatch, as it were. Perhaps expansion is just gravity's way of trying, (but failing?) to maintain covariant thermal equilibrium (or a Steady-State, as some might call it) over a big, previously hot spacetime. |
Feb11-13, 06:12 PM | #16 |
I read parts of the paper, and I find equation 11 weakly motivated. without adequate motivation the whole theory quickly falls apart. I wonder if anyone has something to say about it.
Feb11-13, 06:51 PM | #17 |
So I think you must find equation (7) weakly motivated. Could you discuss a little why you find it so? I can't claim expertise but I thought the derivation of (7) looked rather straightforward---a Taylor expansion and an inspection of the second derivative term. Did you look at footnote 2 on page 3, this is where the argument is generalized to systems with many degrees of freedom. I did not go through every step but only glanced at it. I would be interested to know in a little more detail what you find dubious about equation (7), or about its consequent equation (11). Could you spell it out a little more for me? |

"Very happily surprised....."
Of course I'm an addictied fan of Fifty; so I'm very quick to point out copy-kats. This book of course does follow the usual path of broken and trying to be in-love.
However, I'm not sure if it was the clever writing or the fabulous narrator that had me glued to it? Either way; I enjoyed the book and look forward to the next.........
PS - Narrator did an incredible Scottish Male accent that almost made me start smoking ..... HELLLLOOOOOO!!!
"Well HELLO Shane!!!!"
I don't know if it was better writing or the male narrator, Shane's voice just turned me on, but this book was incredible and I couldn't stop listening!!!
The underlying sarcasm and internal dialog of the male character was so fun and hysterical! Well done......I hope the next book has the same narrator....PLEASE!!
Yes, this store is a combination of Fifty Shades + Bared to you! I did like the store, however I felt that it was rushed. The book definately should have had more substance and it was too short.
Do not start this book unless you have alloted time to do a marathon finish!!! I haven't been this obsessed since the Fifty series!!!
Fabulous Listen!!!! Great story; wonderfully written and the narrator was incredible!!! Bravo!!!!
"This series is so addictive............."
Pamela Clare is one of my favorite authors and this series is incredible!!! It is probably best that all of the books in this series didn't release at the same time, because I would have lost my job and entire life put on hold!!
Also, Kaleo Griffith makes this series as well; yum yum yum!!! Thank you!!!!
"Love love love..............."
Waited for second book and it did not disappoint! Now I have to wait for the third....UGH!!!
"The BEST one!!!"
This is by far the best book of the series!!
All the books are good with a little light-heartedness; however, this book is not only a little dark but has wonderful banter between the band members!!
The book has gotten a ton of hype, thus my download. However.........
I did get pulled in with the first half of the book, but then felt the overwhelming urge to punch Tru in the head!!!! The narrator was very talented, so I do not want to take away from her, but I can say that I will not be downloading the next book. Way too much anxiety and overwhelming angst.
After reading on Goodreads what a fabulous series this was, I couldn't believe that it was finally added!! The narrator was incredible and I loved the characters and story! I would have given it 5 stars, but didn't like some of the turns the story took.....just personal preference.
I will be downloading in anticipation the next book.......lets not let it be too long!!!
Many times when there is a series that you fall in love with at the first book, you don't expect them to keep the momentum. As listening to them (FABULOUS NARRATOR), I considered Book 3 as being my favorite!!!!! UNTIL THIS ONE!!! Holy Baby Jesus Miss Clare.......bravo on this book! I was gripped from the beginning and sleep deprived until the end!
I felt all the emotions which was from the clever writing and the delivery of the narrator. Passion, anxiety, heartache, fear and love; I cried and laughed!!
Can I just say May 2013 is TOOOOOOOOOO long for the next!!

Gross patient charges in 2012 totaled $992.9 million dollars however nearly two-thirds of that amount, $681.7 million was charged off as uncompensated care, either outright charity or indigent services, Medicare, Medicaid charges other allowances and bad debt.
The result was $311.2 million in net patient revenue, an increase of almost $10.1 million from the previous year.
Hospital Authority Chairman Jerry Norman reported that uncompensated services provided during the first quarter of FY 2013, the first of July through the end of September, totaled $23.9 million, down from the $27.5 million that had been budgeted.
The hospital ended FY 2012 with $130.5 million in long-term debt, up from $112.5 million at the end of FY 2011.
Bert Bennett, an auditor with Draffin and Tucker LLP, presented the audit and told the joint authorities that bad debt as a percentage of accounts remained unchanged from 2011 to 2012 at 3.2 percent.
The amount of cash the hospital has on hand figure improved over the year from 89 days to 97 days.
Following the numbers crunching, FMC Vice President Warren "Sonny" Rigas asked the board of Floyd Healthcare Management to approve a couple of major capital expenditures.
The hospital will pay a monthly lease of $31,000 and a monthly service fee of $11,000 for a new magnetic resonance imaging device. "The 48 channel technology will provide neurological and skeletal imaging options not now available in Rome," Rigas said.
Rigas also won approval from the board for the replacement of a high-tech diagnostic camera at a price tag of $417,500. The new machine will save about an hour a day which means we can schedule an extra appointment every day," said Rigas.
Siemens manufactures both pieces of new equipment.

Snooker legend Jimmy White took part in a snooker exhibition in Victoria to raise money for charity.

Phil Taylor defeated Dave Chisnall 6-2 to win his first European Tour event at the German Darts Championship, hitting seven 180s in an imperious display in the final at the Tempodrom in Berlin.
The world number one followed up fine victories over Colin Lloyd, Raymond van Barneveld and Wes Newton by gaining revenge over Chisnall for his defeat in the Ladbrokes World Darts Championship at Christmas in Sunday night's final.
Taylor had also been defeated by the St Helens man in a Players Championship final in Reading earlier this year, but never looked like suffering a third loss with a vintage display in the final.
Taylor opened the decider with a 180 in a 12-darter, and after Chisnall levelled in 14 darts he posted an 11-darter and tops to lead 3-1.
Chisnall won the fifth leg on double ten, despite a maximum from Taylor, before the Stoke great hit the same bed to win his fourth leg, finished a 14-darter to lead 5-2 and landed his seventh maximum in the next as he set up tops for victory.
"I'm delighted to have won this," said Taylor, who ended the game with a 106.82 average to Chisnall's 100.60.
"Dave's played some great darts throughout the weekend so I knew I'd have to be at my best in the final and it's great to win. It's a fantastic way to set myself up the the World Matchplay."
Taylor had defeated youngsters Jerry Hendriks and Reece Robinson earlier in the weekend before beginning Sunday's final stages with a 6-0 whitewash of Colin Lloyd.
He then helf off Raymond van Barneveld's fightback from 4-1 down to claim a narrow 6-5 quarter-final victory over his great rival, before seeing off Wes Newton 6-3 in the semis on his way to claiming the £15,000 first prize.
Chisnall's run to the final had begun with wins over Gareth Cousins and Michael Rosenauer, before he edged our Terry Jenkins 6-5 by hitting six 180s in their third round clash.
He then defeated Mervyn King and Simon Whitlock 6-4 to win through to the final, with the £7.500 prize money taking him up to 16th in the PDC Order of Merit.
"It feels great to have reached the final but Phil was too good in the end," said Chisnall. "It's always an honour playing Phil and the atmosphere was great.
"I like the European Tour events and I'm having some success in them, so I hope I can win one next time! I've been putting in a lot of hard work recently and it's paying off."
World number five Newton followed up a 103 average in his third round victory over Michael Mansell with a 6-3 quarter-final win over Justin Pipe, who was unable to follow up his victory in April's Austrian Open event with another European Tour title.
Simon Whitlock produced fine displays to see off Kevin Painter - with a 106.83 average - and Belgium's Kim Huybrechts to reach the semis, before going down 6-3 to Chisnall.
World Youth Champion James Hubbard, Holland's Co Stompe, Mark Webster and Ronnie Baxter were other losers in the last 16 of the German Darts Championship, which was the second of five £82,100 European Tour events which will be held this year.
The third European Tour event, the European Darts Open, will be held at the Maritim Hotel in Dusseldorf from July 6-8. For tickets, visit http://www.pdc-europe.net.

Fish -
Carol, Chicago, IL I purchased the fish as a prize for one of the games at our block party. I put a couple fo the fish in a clear plastic sandwich bag and added water, so it looked like the real goldfish you can win at carnivals. The kids ranged in age from 4 to 18 and they all loved them! |
Perfect for Soap -
Dani, Minooka, IL These fish are perfect for the soap I used them in. My daughter is having a carnival themed birthday party and we are having the goldfish game where you throw a ping pong ball into the fishbowl in order to win a goldfish. Well, instead of the kids winning a real fish, I am using these fish in a soap favor that I created to look like the fish was swimming around in a plastic bag - except in the bag is soap. It's perfect! |
Cutest goldfish ever! -
MommaOrr, Livermore, CA Love these little fish, so cute & very brightly colored! My daughter loves to play with them at bath time. They provided hours of fun! |
Perfect -
Val, Chandler, AZ I am a teacher and I needed to find these fish to go with my classroom behavior plan. I bought ivy bowls to simulate a fish bowl. Each day that the children are good they earn a fish for their fish bowl. After 50 fish they get to have a special lunch bunch with me. These fish are the perfect size and they stand up to little hands. You would think I'm giving them gold each day that they earn a new fish. Absolutely perfect! |

Newstalk ZB
By: Annabel Reid | New Zealand News | Sunday July 1 2012 15:32
First home buyers are still facing a battle to enter the property market. Data released today in the NZ Property report shows the number of homes now available for sale in New Zealand has dropped to its lowest point since January 2008. CEO of realestate.co.nz Alistair Helm says demand is very much outweighing supply, which is difficult for first home buyers. "It's not meeting the demand that's there in the market and therefore sellers are still having the upper hand and buyers are pretty actively looking for whatever comes on the market. "If it's a property that suits a broad audience and particularly in the first home buyers sector, then it's likely that there's going to be a lot of interest, and potentially if it goes to auction, some very competitive bidding." Mr Helm says the inventory of homes for sale has dropped below 30 weeks for the first time in four years. |

How To Pick Up Girls – Using Forbidden Techniques That Are Kept Hidden From You
Whenever a man meets a beautiful woman, he usually finds it hard to stay in control and to keep the power in the relationship. Instead, he ends up showering her with attention, running after her, and putting his priorities on hold in order to fit her schedule in and reducing the time that he spends with his friends and family members. Have you ever done this? Well, if you want to turn the tables around and learn how to get a woman addicted to you for a change, then read on.
Here's the thing: if you want to learn how to get a woman addicted to you, you have to try out several psychological techniques that will help you build a stronger emotional connection with women. In other words, instead of sticking to superficial methods alone, you have to really make an effort to connect with a woman on an emotional and psychological way. Here's how.
A Mindset Change
First of all, you have to realize that giving everything up for a woman will make every other woman in the world see you as nothing but a loser. Women love men with a purpose and a passion, and men who work towards certain goals. In the female mind, these are the things that define a man. In fact, if you have all of these things, then you won't have any trouble learning how to get a woman addicted to you – remember that.
Second of all, you can't learn how to get a woman addicted to you unless you have high social status. Men who are generally respected by society and can make hard decisions on their own are the ones that women usually fall in love with in no time.
Another important thing to keep in mind while learning how to pick a girl up is to be wary of the things that you ask her. If you ask her generic things like "What do you want to do today?" or "Can I see you this weekend?", she will instantly steal the power away from you in the relationship. So, be a real leader instead and make the decisions beforehand. Then, say things like "I'll be shopping this weekend, so come keep me company."
(You can also use a covert persuasion and seduction technique such as Fractionation to seduce women – more on that later in this article.)
Using Advanced Techniques To Pick Up Girls
Advanced conversational techniques are also very important while learning how to pick up a girl and get her addicted to you. The best conversationalists out there use both body language and words to express how they feel, so you can put your voice timber and hand gestures to use for this. If you want, you can also throw in some jokes during some of your more serious conversations. This is especially important when you are approaching the girl you like for the first time.
Regardless of what you think makes you really stand out during conversations with a girl, use it when you are trying to get a girl to like you. If you want, you can punctuate some of your words with actions, as well. Try saying hello while holding her hand in your hand instead of just saying hello itself, for example. Believe it or not, this can do wonders when done while learning how to pick up women.
Another trick you can do while learning how captivate a woman is to keep her guessing. See, once a woman feels like she understands you completely, she will lose interest in you – just like that. Think about it. The reason why women love soap operas so much is because the episodes always end with a cliffhanger. This makes them hang on to the show every single day. If you are smart, you can use this knowledge in the dating world by keeping women on their toes and having them guess what your intentions are on a regular basis. (Note that this technique also works well if you want to flirt with a girl over text).
Now, this doesn't mean that you should mess with every woman's mind. It merely means that you should try and keep her interested by having a soap opera state of mind that will make her long for you more and more. In fact, if you use a technique such as Fractionation, always keep in mind that you have powers to "mess" around with a woman emotionally, and you are responsible NOT to use the technique maliciously.
Alpha Male Attitude In Picking Up Women
Of course, it would also help to have an alpha male attitude. Basically, this means that you have to make her see and feel that you are much more superior compared to her. To do this, you have to work on your body language a lot, especially when she's around. Studies actually show that most successful communication out there is completely nonverbal, so you shall focus more on your body language than your words.
One great way to get a woman addicted to you, though, would be to send out mixed signals through your body language, words and tone of voice. This is also exactly how to flirt with a girl to seduce her. Also, show her that you are nothing like the rest of the men out there. That's right. As long as you stand out in certain ways, the woman that you like is sure to take notice and fall for you in no time.
How To Pick Up Girls Using Fractionation
Another way to make a woman invest more emotions into you is by using hypnosis techniques like fractionation. This particular technique can actually make a woman feel more attached to you. The key here would be to simply get her to connect with you with nothing but your words and make her think that you can't live without her. The best part about this technique is that it can be done in only 15 minutes, yet you will still get good and quick results out of it.
Fractionation consists of two basic steps that any guy can use successfully, regardless of what his dating and seduction experience is like. Incredibly powerful, this technique uses top-notch anchoring techniques and value elicitation to make women feel emotionally invested in any man that uses it.
However, you do have to be careful when using it, though, since fractionation is know to be the most explosive kind of seduction technology to date. As easy as it is to use this technique, it will give you seduction superpowers and turn you into every woman's dream guy. So, if you would like to learn how to pick up girls and get them addicted to you in only fifteen minutes, then this is definitely the technique for you.
To continue, watch this video on Fractionation. (Link comes up in a new window)

Amanda Balionis previews the first round of the 2013 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, including featured groups on Golf Channel, an update from SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio and Rob Bolton's Power Rankings.
By Brian Wacker, PGATOUR.COM
Spencer Levin will play in the U.S. Open sectional qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, on June 3.
It will be the first time Levin has played competitively this year after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ligmanet in his left thumb last fall.
Levin, who spent Tuesday racing around Indianapolis Motor Speedway with 2013 Indianapolis 500 qualifier and IZOD teammate A.J. Allmendinger, said he also plans to play some Web.com Tour events beginning in late August.
The U.S. Open will take place June 13-16 at Merion Golf Club.
Last season, Levin had a half-dozen top 25s in 26 starts and finished 45th in the FedExCup standings. He made just under $1.3 million.
Prior to the 2013 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, Rickie Fowler talks about matching fan donations to benefit the tornado victims, and his strategy for the tournament.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- After his PGA TOUR win Sunday at the HP Byron Nelson Championship, Sang-Moon couldn't sleep that night. Then he rested for a couple of days, responded to 100 phone calls and 200 text messages, had a celebratory dinner with other Korean-born players on TOUR, contemplated his move from Los Angeles to Dallas, and now wants to regain his competitive focus for another important week.
He's hoping to play well enough at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial to qualify for next month's U.S. Open at Merion.
Bae needs to be ranked in the top 60 in the Official World Golf Ranking next Monday. He enters Thursday's first round at Colonial ranked 64th, having moved up from 106th thanks to last week's win at TPC Four Seasons.
"I have to play well this week," Bae said Wednesday.
The Korean is registered for a U.S. Open qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, on June 3.
"But I don't want to play," he said. "I have to play hard (this week) to get in."
Bae played in his first Crowne Plaza last year. He played the first three rounds but shot 77 in the third round and didn't make the second cut prior to the final round. He said he didn't have much energy that week.
He likes the course, though, and he obviously has momentum and confidence.
"I will try my best," he said.
FORT WORTH, Texas -- Brad Fritsch's back injury has opened up a spot for Fort Worth-area resident Brandt Jobe in this week's Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.
Fritsch withdrew on Wednesday, with Jobe moving up from the first alternate position.
This will be the 11th appearance and third straight for Jobe at Colonial. His best finish is a fourth in 2003. He has made the cut in nine of his 10 previous starts.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- More than 200 female business leaders gathered this week at the 2013 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial for the Astellas Presents Executive Women's Day. The first-year event was a sellout at the Colonial Country Club.
The event included a breakfast and luncheon, with CBS Sports reporter Lesley Visser serving as the keynote speaker. Following lunch, the program shifted to the "Wine Down-Network Up" portion of the day where the local, regional and national businesswomen enjoyed a unique networking opportunity.
"It was a pleasure to be a part of the Executive Women's Day panel at this year's Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial," said Gina LaBarre, Vice President, Americas Brand Management, Upscale Brands, IHG. "It was a fun and engaging forum to discuss topics that are important to so many women in business, and I'm very proud that I could share what I've learned as I've progressed in my career."
The PGA TOUR and Astellas Pharma US, Inc. ("Astellas") recently entered a three-year agreement in which Tokyo-based Astellas will champion the TOUR's commitment to its new Women's Initiative, designed to provide women with information that promotes their overall well-being, including informing women about important health and wellness issues, encouraging discussion on those topics and creating opportunities to talk and learn about them.

The summer of Guan Tianlang continues.
The 14-year-old Chinese amateur has accepted a sponsor exemption into the FedEx St. Jude Classic, the tournament announced on Wednesday.
"Guan's invitation was a no-brainer," said tournament director Phil Cannon. "He certainly has made a big splash in the sports world. And we are excited our fans will get to witness history. It's remarkable that he did not have a three-putt green in 72 holes at Augusta."
Guan, who was the youngest player to participate in the Masters before finishing as the low amateur at Augusta National, is also in the field for next week's Memorial tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance.
The FedEx St. Jude Classic will be his fourth event on a sponsor exemption. As a non-member of the PGA TOUR, he is allowed to accept up to seven sponsor exemptions.
Guan earned his spot in the Masters by winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship.
In his two starts since the Masters, Guan finished 71st in New Orleans and missed the cut last week in Dallas.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- The PGA TOUR is in Cowtown as players look to make their mark on the Wall of Champions and take on Hogan's Alley at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.
By Mike McAllister, PGATOUR.COM
FORT WORTH, Texas -- A year ago, on the 72nd hole, Zach Johnson suffered a penalty for improperly marking his ball before his final putt. It cost him two strokes. It did not cost him the tournament.
It did cost him good-natured ribbing for the next 365 days.
"You can say that," he said.
Johnson won the 2012 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial thanks to having a three-shot lead over Jason Dufner going to the final hole on Sunday. On the putting surface, Johnson's ball was in the line of Dufner's putt, so Johnson moved his ball marker ... then forgot to move it back when it came time to putt out.
Johnson's margin of victory went from three shots to one. He took full responsibility for the miscue, making fun of himself and smiling whenever anybody brought up the incident.
"I probably wouldn't be laughing as much if it influenced the outcome," he said. "Once again, I made a mistake. Live and learn."
During a charity event back in Johnson's hometown of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Ben Crane and Stewart Cink addressed the crowd about "Golf 101." Of course, they brought up how to properly mark the ball, then proceeded to bring out a marker the size of a hubcap, with the slogan, "Remember Colonial."
"I had some peers of mine that poked fun at me at pretty good length," Johnson said. "It was pretty good."
Johnson would love to go to the 72nd hole this week with a similar advantage. He'll be sure to properly mark his ball this time. And then perhaps the ribbing will finally go away.

This week members of the Freedom Seekers Support Club got together and delivered turkeys, ham, fixings and desserts to the William S. Davies Homeless Shelter on South Broad Street.
"They bring enough for a Thanksgiving feast — two turkeys, ham, fixings and everything," Bill Davies said. "It's just a nice thing for these guys to be doing. We really do appreciate the community support."
Mark Loveless, the president of the Seekers support club, said it is the second year the group has donated food to the shelter.
Sometimes people need a helping hand to get their lives back together and the shelter is doing just that, he said.
"We think it's a great thing they're doing over there," Loveless said.
The feeling is mutual, Davies said.
"This is the second year these guys have brought us all this so we could give everyone a good Thanksgiving," Davies said. "They are a bunch of good motorcycle fellas."
The group is also partnering with the Freedom Seekers with a Toys for Tots ride this Sunday at Rolater Park in Cave Spring.
The group gathers beginning at 11 a.m. and leaves the park at 1 p.m. The ride will end at the Coosa Valley fairgrounds. Admission for the ride is one new unwrapped toy.

Had a great day with the boyfriend. After me and Sonny went to the orthodox church, G called asking if I wanted to go get something to eat. Mom said it was fine and it turned out he wasn't even hungry, he just wanted to see me. :) Since I wasn't that hungry either, we decided to go to gameworks since he still had the card and we had credits left. It has been a long time since we went out on a date besides our usual Monday morning breakfast dates. For once he actually kicked my ass in some of the games we were playing except Tekken. haha I also didn't realize how good of a team we are when it comes to Time Crisis lol After our arms got extremely tired from playing we finally got hungry and decided to try meatheads. It's a burger joint and to be honest, I didn't find anything special about it. I had the Californian which is a burger with avocado, wasabi sauce, tomatos and chipotle mayo. It sounded really good but it was just ok. The only thing I really liked were the cajun fries or whatever they were called. Afterwards, my mom called telling me to start heading home since she was going to work and my grandparents were leaving and it was just going to be my sister and brother at home. Got home and they left already and G stayed for a bit. We were watching the Blind Side for a bit and just laying down on the bed. I honestly missed those moments when we used to go back to his house and watch movies and eat chicken nuggets. I just miss him holding me and telling me that he loves me and that we can make it. I know it wasn't like a romantic date or fancy shmancy but to be honest I like it when our dates are casual and laidback because that's who we are and we feel comfortable like that. Finally my days are slowly brightening up.
A few days ago, Le & I thought it'd be a great idea if we rolled at Gameworks on the strip.
Gameworks is probably one of the hugest arcades you'll ever see. Srsly.
So we took a couple green 1up mushrooms and just expected a bomb roll.
Instead, we came to realize that shit was laced with LSD.
We did an accidental candyflip over at the strip!
Whaaaat :0
I distinctively remember going down the escalators to Gameworks and I looked over to Le,
saw some visuals when he moved his hair…
and I was just like "Ummm…I think I'm having mild hallucinations."
It was crazy but I enjoyed it. I feel like I can handle hallucinogens when I'm rolling because
I'm so sensitive to any form of negativity when I'm on hallucinogens alone. The roll kept me positive and yet I still saw crazy shit. I mean, I'm not talking about seeing purple unicorns or nothing like that.
What I saw was visual patterns around me like the walls, zoomed in vision when I looked at skin, and when something moves, I usually saw a trail that followed it.
The only bad things about that night were that gameworks was pretty hot. Got us sweating.
I assumed it was only the effects from the thizzles though because everyone else there seemed fine and when we walked around, we could feel a slight breeze. Its just that whenever we got into a game, the lights surrounding it plus our complete concentration made us sweat. Ugh.
Another bad thing was that we did acid on the STRIP. When I'm on the strip SOBER I still hate it. Tourists and drunk obnoxious people isn't really my cup of coffee. Plus I already think that the strip and the people walking around in it are ugly enough. Acid did not make it prettier. Everyone's faces just seemed like there was a bad story behind it. Sadness, frustration, just…evil.
If you're visiting Vegas, please refrain yourself from acting like a drunk obnoxious fool.
Can you people imagine how locals must feel all the time? People from all over the world, coming here mainly just to party. European tourists are the worst though. Taxi drivers are next. Rudeness. You will never know my pain until you've worked on the strip. Yikes. This is why Hawaii is 10x better than Vegas any day. I'd love to just do a short trip outta Vegas. Idc where I go as long as its not here. Cali sounds good. Most people in cali have a better attitude than Vegas too. Vegas is like california's ass. LOL Forreal.
Anyways, I'm done talking shit about Vegas. Haha. Back to my acid story.
Pfft Yeah… it was crazy. Would I do it again? Definitely but I want a way better environment. More nature-y. This trip made me feel like my mind is on another level. A mature-er level that has a better grasp on keeping my trips good. Mind control. When things got outta control for me, I just imagine myself stepping out of first person POV and go into 3rd person. See myself on the outside. Then for some reason I picture two sides. One is good and the other bad.
& I just keep telling myself to just keep positive and that I can handle this. It really worked for me.
What was crazy was that after my trip, I got zero sleep then went to work right after. :0
But I was fine. I handled it.
Today was like any normal wake up. Loud noises. First thing I hear is the douchebags voice. Shit. Take shower, get dressed and such. Watch some Dragonball…. even that gets spoiled by the douchebag. He seriously asks questions like "How is that green guy able to make an egg if he has a hole in his chest" I DON'T KNOW, HES A FUCKING ALIEN NOW GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU GUIDO CUNT.
So I had to leave to get away from the stupidity. I went with my parents to clean out the totaled car at the impound. OH I forgot to mention….. my Mom got in a car accident and now the nice Intrepid Sam and I used forever is dead. Anyways we cleaned it out and such and I had to go to the reservation to pick up some more school money. YES they pay me to go to school because they want those fat retards to actually go to school. Thing is those same fat retards GO to the schools and end up failing, which in turn makes them have to pay the rez back, which they usually can't so it gets taken out of their free casino money, which alternatively leads them to a life of depression drowned by alcoholism. its a vicious cycle which leads me to believe that I am the single most amazing Pima indian in Arizona.
I digress. I deposit the check and then its off to school. Get there an hour early while everyone is in class so I can't even flirt with the fashion class girls. Also since everyone is in class surfing the web the school's server is SUPER SLOW and I couldn't get into Tumblr. It was rough, so I decided to draw really creepy pictures on my drawing stool. I hope someone sees them and then thinks the Slenderman and/or The Rake are stalking them.
So class starts and its a critique day, which is always boring as hell. So that class ends and the black guys decide they wanna go to Gameworks, so I naturally have to tag along. We get there and they go straight upstairs to the Street Fighter games. I suck at those games but I love winning stuffed animals so I go straight to the claw machines. ALL OF THOSE FUCKERS ARE RIGGED. And when I finally got a hook on a big doll, it got stuck on another one and it jammed the machine. I go to get the girl working at the front desk and she looked really fucking good from behind so I was like
I leaned on the front desk and instinctively opened up with "Hey." like a fucking loser. It didn't affect me too long because then she turned around…
I wont say much since she MIGHT have been in an accident but when I saw her I ALMOST gasped. So I told her the problem while trying to make it obvious that I didn't want to see her face. She called some tiny guy with a ponytail to help me. We walked to the machine and it was fine. I looked in the drop slot…..NOTHING. FUCK ME. I gave up on it and went to watch my friends play Street Fighter. I get to them and they're kicking ass so I watch for a while. Theeen I look at my phone and see that we're late for class….
We make it to class and the teacher doesn't mind. Somehow near the end of class the teacher gets in a discussion about donkey punching and "kids in the playground" and other weird-ass sexual fetish acts, and despite it being really funny to talk about, Its kinda weird to talk about it in a room full of men.
Anyways on the way home my Mom tells me that she was watching something on tv that had "ghetto gangsta" music in it. She said the douchebag stood watching it for a while before turning to her and saying, "Can you not watch shit like this when Troy "my nephew, his son" is around? I don't want him seeing this. Use some common sense." For one thing, the fucking kid was in his room, and another thing, seeing as how he doesn't pay a stitch of rent or pay for anything, he has no cunt-fucking RIGHT to tell us what to do. Also, hes telling HER to use some common sense? REAP WHAT YOU MOTHERFUCKING SEW YOU CUM-GUZZLING WASTE OF A FUCKING BAG OF BABY SHIT!!!!! Hes was supposed to be gone by TODAY.GONE TO IRAQ! No, of course not, hes a fucking moron and doesn't hear shit. He apparently leaves on the tenth. THATS WAY TOO FUCKING LONG FOR US TO WAIT. If he doesn't leave on that day, I'll kill him myself. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL HES THERE AND GETS BLOWN UP. Too rough? No, I mean every motherfucking word of it.

text: I think it's a good idea in general. However, how do you plan to deal with the "Snood Guy" kind of case? It was great to have the Snood Guy come and post a little, too bad some people made him run away. Would he had posted if in addition to registering he had to pay? What about Paul from Big Fish, who came to clarify a couple of issues? I think these admittedly few contributions are still valuable but are kind of "impulse post" - how do you plan to keep them?

[Solved] Clearfix to much??
Hello, I am working on a older site that should really be rebuilt but there is not enough time. I feel that i am using the class ** Clearfix** to much in the layout.
My questions is Is there any cases that the use of the class clearfix is to much?
What do you mean by too much? It's a pretty small bit of code.
Personally I see it coming down to how well formed your markup is and how semantic your CSS is, if your using a lot of floats for elements that don't need them that would be cause to re-think your approach and try to optimize it without using
.I think really it depends which version you mean. I would say that the one with support for old versions of IE is a little overkill but that rather gets into the debate of supporting IE in general. The most progressive method simply consists of:
.element-with-floated-objects:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; }
As this uses a pseudo class selector, some more weird stuff is needed for IE7 and down:
* html .clearfix { height: 1%; } .element-with-floated-objects { display: block; }
In my opinion, this is fine - especially the more modern one - as other methods (like setting
on the container) can have annoying knock-on effects.Thanks for all comments. I agree with @notfilc it is a small bit of code, after rethinking my code (thanks @SgtLegend) i was able to remove the clearfix from the section that was in question.

DELBARTON — The man authorities believe shot Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum to death has been caught and shot in Delbarton after a high speed pursuit.
Witnesses say the suspect, after shooting Crum as he sat in his car, fled the scene, driving toward Delbarton.
Eyewitnesses in Delbarton said a gold Ford Ranger pickup truck was traveling south on state Route 65 through the town, followed by an unmarked police car. The pickup drove up between the former BB&T bank building and the building that houses the Ideal Barbershop and toward a bridge, in the direction of Ragland. The police stopped the pickup by forcing it into the side of a bridge. Witnesses say Mingo County Sheriff's Department Corporal N. Mines approached the vehicle and shots were fired. Mines said the suspect pulled a gun. The driver of the pickup was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Logan. His condition remains unknown.
The Williamson Police Department told the Daily News the suspect's name is Tennis Maynard of Ragland.
Crum, who took office at the beginning of the year, has led an effort dubbed Zero Tolerance. His crusade to address the drug problem in the county has brought a lot of attention to the sheriff. A motive for the murder has yet to be determined.
