Thanks for the help everyone I think the 3rd body looks better, the colour looks more warmer then the 1st.
Thanks for the help everyone I think the 3rd body looks better, the colour looks more warmer then the 1st.
At Home:
the 3rd body is about a million times better than the 1st at posing too...
I don't think their is a color difference between the 1st and 3rd. The 1st was 1st so the pics might be older. But the pic for the 3rd is probably the more recent resin color. Their seems to be at least for me a huge difference between color for leekes depending on the lighting. You can check out my flickr and see that Rylie's color changes depending on the lighting not any aging or yellowing with her at all. Natrual light tends to make her her "natural color" but in my house with no light just shade she appears peachy.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/silentstardust/4164707499/ - an example of her real color based on my pcs lighting.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/silentstardust/3859534252/ - her peachy color that shows up in the house (she's more yellow less peachy)
I just kinda want to point this out to anyone looking to get a Leeke because they do show up much pinker in the official photos than i think they do currently IRL. I think mine is very close to the Luts Resin for Senior Delfs right now.

She is so cute! (I take it that's the 3rd body?)
I get what you mean, it all boils down to what type of lighting is being used which is probably why it gets so darn confusing :P Another thing I've noticed is that for the 1st body they show 2 skin colours (beige and snow white). Would you have to specify which skin tone you'd want when you order?
At Home:
canadian_otaku86 - yes she's the 3rd body. Unless it's a Limited or special you can't get the White only the Regular resin color. I could have bought mine in white but i'm not a fan of the whites usually. I personally think she is quite light actually.

Mine are 16mm. You could get 14mm too.

I just got my Pumpkin head and I have to tell you that Leeke snow skin resin is no match for Soom cream white resin .

Do you think you could blush the head or body or do you think it's a lost cause? That's a shame though babyelf
I think the head could definitely be blushed to match the body color. I already sold the head, but for monetary reasons .
But the good news is that the head is a fit on Soom Teenie Gem body necks (and I'm sure to most other Yo sized bodies within the 5.8 - 6.5 cm neck range).

I've spent all day searching for the three hidden images on Leeke... I've literally looked at EVERY item, but I only found two. Anybody here who's also found some and would like to swap links?

I can't find any of them XD
I only looked for like, 10 min though.
What really bugs me is that I opened AAAAAALLLL of the items, which took HOURS... and I must somehow missed the third image, so it was all for nothing. *sadface*

aw, that sucks
I'd help you out, but I got nuthin. Which is probably just as well for me...I'm ordering clothes next weekend and I just put a doll on layaway...I shouldn't be making any more orders XD
Haven't been here lately (personal reasons) but I did order a Sweet way back in September - should be here sometime in early November (yay!).
At Home:
Hi doll leeke owners! Hoping you can help me: how stretchy are D-type size wigs? Leeke world's site says they're 6-6.5in, I have a Ring Doll Kid that's got a 6.65in head. Could a d-type wig possibly stretch that extra little bit?
At Home: Lillian Alice (Ringdoll Ring Kid Lily)
Saving for: Leeke Koji (~100/600)
Sweet is definitely one of my favorites. I also had no luck finding images on the site. Not that I need to be spending any more money either. Want to get a 3rd body though as I just got my hands on a cutie sweet head. Had always wanted one but missed out the first time they ran them and then couldn't afford one the second time. Can't wait for my head to arrive!
Cute spam everyone.
VampireAngel -Very appropriate for the season. Reminds me to make some winter outfits for my kids.

7 factors that every executive should know about information destruction and 3 key strategies to improved information destruction.
On November 28, 2011, President Obama released a memorandum that required all federal agencies to assess the state of their current records management programs, identify gaps and create a detailed improvement plan for submission to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). In response, NARA issued the Records Management Directive on August 24, 2012. This directive represents the first time since the Truman administration that the subject of government records has been given such a high priority. While the focus in the late 1940s and early 1950s was on managing paper records — in particular vital records, we look to a future of records and information management in which electronic records are at the forefront whether they are vital, archival or temporary
See how you stackup against your peers with this review from over 4,000 professionals on the state of physical and electronic records management best practices.
In this report, you will learn some of the top reasons to outsource, such as reducing costs, optimizing resources and gaining efficiencies.
Throughout this paper, you will have the opportunity to learn about the depth and breadth of Iron Mountain Security Practices in the following areas: Information Security; Physical Security, Safety and Business Continuity; and Investigative Services.
These best practices guides feature Iron Mountain's proven, six-step methodology — a framework that has been successfully implemented by more than 3,000 customers — for developing, implementing and sustaining an information management program.
The amount of information your organization has to manage is growing at an incredible pace, creating new challenges every day. On the one hand, you're tempted to retain as much data as possible for fear of losing critical information. On the other, there's the danger of maintaining expired information, which opens you up to operational and financial risks.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), the federal statute governing the protection of patient information, has been a part of the healthcare landscape for years. Now that same landscape is changing rapidly with the growing adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHR) and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
Social media is all around you. From tweets to blogs to Facebook® postings, millions of people are interacting through social media every day in both their professional and personal lives. From a business perspective, these online social outlets present you with a real opportunity to connect more closely with your customers, prospects and partners. But when you open up these new channels for regular usage — without understanding the potential implications — you can create risk and face a slew of records management considerations.
Learn the keys for thriving in a hybrid records world. John Mancini, president of AIIM , and Richard Reese, chairman & CEO of Iron Mountain, will share industry trends, best practices and actual examples to help you become a more effective information manager.
Often created by committee and revised endlessly, contracts can be challenging to track. Of all the documents you manage and archive, these deserve special attention. Your business depends on it.

Spring 2013
Paul Smith
July 1, 2012
Founded: 1976, Nottingham, England
Owned By: Private
History: Smith, an avid cyclist with hopes of going pro, had his dream deferred after a major crash at age 17. A few years later, after a spate of tailoring classes, he opened a small shop in Nottingham, and six years after that, began showing his namesake label in Paris. Smith's brand—centered around the concept of traditional suits and dress shirts colliding with explosive colors and stripes, and sometimes eccentric details—has since expanded worldwide with a number of offshoot collections.

4/17/2013 A powerful, cheap box that streams nearly everything. Search is now extra-awesome. ...Nearly flawless; buy it now. |
4/1/2013 The Roku 3 Makes Apple TV Look Like a Lame Attempt |
3/26/2013 The Roku 3 Blows Away The Apple TV |
3/25/2013 Let me get right to it: I've been testing the Roku 3 set-top box for about a month, and can definitively say that is a nearly perfect product, and easily the best set-top box on the market. |
3/22/13 Roku 3 review: A set-top box to trump all other set-top boxes. With over 750 channels available and a brand new interface, what's not to love? |
3/11/13 CNET Editors Pick: Roku's speedy streamer is the best box yet - The Roku 3's excellent new interface and faster processor makes it feel quicker and more responsive than any other streaming box. |
10/29/12 Roku has been on a tear in recent months — introducing new form factors, adding support for more services and aggressively going after the sub $100 market. Roku Search will make the device that much more competitive going into the holiday season |
10/29/12 But in the back-and-forth battle between Roku and the Apple TV, it's another win for Roku, as Apple's box doesn't offer any cross-platform searching capabilities. |
10/29/12 Whether you're searching by movie, TV show, actor or director it will sniff out related content across some of the higher profile services it offers, including Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, Crackle, Vudu and HBO Go. |
10/29/12 For those of you who take advantage of the Internet when watching TV, Roku's new universal search feature could be your most useful tool the next time you sit down to watch a video. |
7/6/2012 Roku 2 XD Review: "…a very solid BUY IT!"" |
6/29/2012 "…if all you want is Netflix (and the option for a zillion other channels) and you want to pay the lowest price possible, then the Roku is hands-down the best device to get" |
7/9/2012 "The Roku 2 XS is our favorite box by far. It simply has the biggest content library around." |
6/8/2012 "Roku Rocks the World: If your heart (or lots of family and friends) reside elsewhere besides the U.S., Roku's just added streaming channel offerings from DISHworld could prove appealing." |
5/13/2012 "Roku. This is a top candidate. A Roku box provides access to a vast variety of video-streaming sources ranging from the well-known (think Netflix) to the niche. You can pay to watch the latest movies and TV shows via Amazon Instant Video and Hulu Plus, too. Versions of the Roku range from a $50 version with lesser-quality video to a $100 variation with full 1080p video and even simple, built-in video gaming capabilities (think Angry Birds). It's hard to go wrong with a Roku." |
5/8/2012 "The Roku LT earned an Editors' Choice as the best media streamer for less than $50. It delivers Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant, Pandora, Crackle, and literally hundreds of other online video and audio channels." |
"Thanks to a varied range of content offerings--including Netflix, Amazon, Hulu Plus, Crackle, and Pandora—that beats AppleTV, the Roku 2 XS is the best all-around streaming-media box you can get for less than $100." |
"Roku has always done a fine job of offering a satisfying mix of big-name streaming options like Rdio, Pandora, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and Hulu Plus, with more esoteric choices like, say, Crunchyroll." |
"I've always felt that Roku devices are the best general consumer media streamer and that's even more true now with the casual motion gaming. Highly recommended…" |
"If your favorite thing about the latest Apple TV was its size, you're going to love the Roku 2. The already dinky little box has shrunken even further — at three inches on each side, it is smaller than the Apple TV and shorter than a pack of cigarettes." |
"Roku just announced its fourth generation of media streamers and they're unsurprisingly the best yet. They sport more features, an even smaller physical footprint, and the same Apple TV-killing price points as before." |
"Roku just released the latest version of its media player devices, complete with support for Angry Birds and advanced Netflix streaming." |
"With casual gaming constantly growing in popularity across all demographics, Roku is getting a jump on bringing casual games into the home theater with help from some frenzied, feathered friends. " |
"Wow, we all knew it was coming, but I don't think many expected Roku's new set of media streamers to be as small and as powerful as they are." |
"There are many people who have an Apple TV but there are alternatives available, none more so than the Roku set top boxes." |
"Roku launched Wednesday a next-generation version of its popular TV set-top Internet streaming box, highlighted by a more compact form factor, an interactive Bluetooth remote that will support new video game play, and expanded entertainment offerings." |
"They've came a long way since just a Netflix box, eh" |
"Interesting. See that thing up there? That's Roku. It's a nice, inexpensive, internet-connected box that you hook up to your TV. Once it's set up, you can use it to stream movies and TV shows from the likes of Hulu Plus, Netflix, and Amazon, plus music and photos from Pandora and Flickr, respectively. But the company has just announced a partnership with Rovio to bring the wildly popular series of Angry Birds games to Roku boxes." |
"There's always room in the consumer-electronics market for another player with a laser focus on a narrow niche such as Web-based entertainment. Hey, Apple grew into its enormous boots on the back of a music player -- this stuff works." |
"The little streamer is a fan favorite and is constantly recommended by pundits and every day consumers over the Apple TV and more recently, the Boxee Box." |
"Internet TV: Roku still trumps Apple, Google, and Boxee" |
"VentureBeat's top 10 holiday gift ideas: affordable and fun gadgets that work" |
"In all its forms, Roku's little slab is a cinch to set up and use." |
"The hobby is a hit!" declares one analyst, but a head-to-head review gives the nod to Roku" |
"Oh boy, here we go: Hulu Plus is coming to Roku's lineup of players…" |
"Roku is doing a growing number of things—still simply and well" |
"Roku's Channel Store offers what customers have long requested but cable providers have been unwilling to provide: à la carte service." |
"…the decision to buy this is a no-brainer. One day…devices like the Roku box will completely replace DVDs." |
"…just shy of totally amazing." |
"It's a cool toy. Setting the box up is truly easy. Simply plug it into the wall, hook it up to your set and run an Ethernet cable to your modem." |
"...as we've quickly discovered, it's pretty easy to learn to love this little hundred dollar bugger…" |
"...if you just want an easy way to view online movies, Netflix and Roku have kept it cheap and simple with the new Netflix Player. The result is one of the best entertainment bargains around." |
"This thing could not be simpler. I was watching my first movie six minutes after opening the box." |
5/22/2013 This new model takes on Apple TV with a more intuitive user interface, 1080p video, dual-band Wi-Fi streaming, and the ability to search for particular titles across a number of different services such as Netflix and Amazon Instant Video. |
4/12/2013 It's so fast, it's almost like you're watching cable (a compliment in this context). No other video streamer feels this quick...If you're in the market for a video streamer, this is the one to buy. |
4/11/2013 So how has a scrappy little hardware maker held its own against Apple (AAPL) and giant cable companies? In a word: content. Building on its seminal Netflix offering, Roku has locked up deals to add 750 channels, including streaming versions of Pandora (P), Spotify, HBO (TWX), and loads of such games as Angry Birds. Most importantly, it won the blessing of Amazon (AMZN), which routes its On Demand offerings through Roku devices. |
4/11/2013 At this point, there are few reasons not to get a Roku box in your home… |
4/10/2013 To Roku's favor, it claims 43 percent of owners say it's their preferred source of video for their TV. It's come a long way from its start as a Netflix Player with more than 750 channels available including Time Warner Cable and HBO Go, which makes CEO Anthony Wood's claim that the 'future of TV is streaming' look closer than ever. |
4/10/2013 Roku was the first company to offer a device for streaming Netflix to television sets. Before that, people could only watch Netflix programming streamed on desktop and notebook computers. Since then, Roku has added a host of other content channels, including Amazon (AMZN) Instant Video, Hulu Plus, Vudu and HBO Go… Wood says the future of the television industry is in on-demand streaming. |
3/6/2013 So far, the new Roku 3 feels like a very polished update to a series of streaming boxes that were already excellent. |
3/6/2013 Roku today introduced the new Roku 3 set-top box, and it promises to be the best streamer on the market. Your move, Apple. |
3/6/2013 The ability to listen to video and music on headphones will probably be the Roku 3's biggest attraction, especially for households that already own one of the company's earlier boxes. |
3/6/2013 Roku has been a big hit — this quarter it will surpass sales of 5 million units since the original Roku was introduced in 2008. |
3/6/2013 We've been favorably impressed with several of Roku's earlier offerings, finding that the Roku platform is among the best we've seen among standalone media players. |
3/6/2013 It's weird but true: of all the countless standalone Internet-TV-streaming boxes which have appeared over the past few years, just two have been unqualified successes. One is Apple TV. The other is Roku, which has thrived by offering a vast selection of stuff, driving prices down as low as $49.99 and otherwise not changing a whole lot. Its sheer simplicity is its strong suit. |
3/6/2013 Roku is one of our favorite, most indispensable little gadgets--a hockey-puck-sized gadget that plugs into your TV and gives you great, easy access to Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, Spotify, Rdio, HBO Go, MLB TV, Flickr, Plex, and a few hundred other apps. It's by far the easiest and most fool-proof way to get streaming content on your TV. |
3/6/2013 Apple TV might own the rumor-mill, and other major brands are starting to introduce Internet-connected smart TVs. But Roku, the first device to offer a way to stream Netflix on a TV, is still leading the pack with its portfolio of 750 channels. |
3/5/13 Roku already had the best content available and with a new user interface, faster loading channels, increased WiFi performance and quicker video playback, the new Roku 3 is easily the best $99 streamer in the market. |
1/8/2013 Roku said at CES that Time Warner Cable subscribers will soon be able to stream up to 300 live channels via its box, a play by the cable company to keep potential cord-cutters in the fold and another move by Roku beyond its essentially disruptive roots and into services for pay-TV subscribers. |
1/8/2013 The TWC/Roku deal is another tacit admission from a cable giant that times are changing, and it may have to change along with them. |
1/7/2013 Cable doesn't require a cable anymore. In a surprise CES announcement, set-top box-maker Roku announced that Roku owners can begin streaming Time Warner Cable content (with an account, of course) probably later this quarter. The move will bring 300 live television channels to Roku owners. |
1/7/2013 The [Roku Streaming Stick] is little different from Roku's stand-alone boxes, but the invisibility and plug-in convenience can be useful for compatible HDTVs and users with limited space. |
1/7/2013 You gotta love Roku…In an industry rife with vaporous products, Roku has methodically rolled out new devices, partnerships and content, while keeping prices low and appealing to the masses. |
1/7/2013 The Time Warner Cable deal now marks the first time a pay TV operator is streaming live TV straight to Roku devices. |
1/7/2013 This new Roku app is the first that will let you stream cable channels on your actual television. The deal is significant, because the cable industry and the streaming TV industry have historically hated one another's guts. |
1/7/2013 The new distribution partnerships, announced before the official start of the giant Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, are a sign of the mainstream nature of entertainment streamed via the Internet into the home. |
1/7/2013 While the authentication element will minimize the threat Roku conceivably poses as a low-cost alternative to the pay TV biz, rival devices like Apple TV or Google TV could face a distinct competitive disadvantage without signing similar deals. |
1/7/2013 ...Of course, that list leaves out every top tier TV manufacturer -- Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic, Vizio and the like -- all of which prefer to build their own smart TV suites and platforms. The irony is that Roku offers a far more extensive content selection than all of them, and it tends to upgrade and expand its offerings more frequently than the mainstream manufacturers. |
1/7/2013 You can imagine a future where smart TVs and boxes have all the major providers, and you merely need an account name and password -- just like Netflix -- to get your TV service. |
1/7/2013 Roku sees itself as not just as a set-top box maker, but as the content platform provider for a wide range of smart TVs — which is why its app offerings, or 'channels,' as Roku calls them — are just as important as its hardware partners. |
1/7/2013 While there have been a wide variety of entrants into the OTT set-top box market, to date the category has been dominated by two players: Apple TV and Roku. |
1/7/2013 Suddenly, our Apple TV looks awfully lonely |
1/7/2013 In an interview with VentureBeat, Wood said Roku owners have now logged over a billion hours of streaming content on their Roku boxes. |
1/7/2013 Roku has been receiving application support from a number of products like Spotify as well as support from hardware manufacturers like Westinghouse, and it looks as though cable companies are starting to take notice of the little media streaming box that could. |
1/7/2013 Roku also announced six new partners that will use its Roku Streaming Stick to instantly make their televisions into smart, Web-enabled sets. |

3/6/2012 Roku is in a sweet spot in shifting TV land |
"Roku unveils its latest: Streaming Stick" |
"Apple TV, Apple keeps saying, is just a hobby. Google TV, to date, is a disappointment. But for tiny Roku, Internet TV is a success story." |
"Although it's still a small company, Roku Inc. has emerged as a significant player in the steadily growing market for Internet video since it introduced its first set-top box nearly four years ago." |
"The thumb drive-sized device just plugs into the HDMI port on your TV and — shazam! — you have ability to stream videos, movies and TV shows to your set wirelessly; the Roku Streaming Stick will have built-in Wi-Fi." |
"One of the leaders in the space, Roku, has taken the notion a step farther. Roku is throwing out the notion of the box. Instead, stream movies and shows to your TV just by plugging in a stick." |
"Richard Doherty, an analyst at the Envisioneering Group, says that 25% of U.S. homes will have Internet connectivity through TVs or set-top boxes, or both, by the end of the year, growing to 50% by the end of 2012. "Roku was the first, and still the easiest to use," he says. " |
"Roku also beats Apple TV in terms of size. While Apple's new set-top box is pretty small, the new Roku is even more minuscule: it measures in at 3 inches wide and about an inch high." |
"The new devices aren't just about gaming, though. New video and social networking applications are being released with the platform as well. That includes a new, just-released Facebook channel with higher-quality picture and video capabilities, as well as channels for Epix, Major League Soccer, AOL and FOX News." |
"Roku has gone from a barely known streaming media box manufacturer to a retail darling in a remarkably short amount of time (the last hardware revamp launched less than a year ago) and it's back with more new hardware to continue the assault." |
"Roku has come a long way since its initial set-top box launched in 2008. Earlier this year, the company announced that more than 1 billion content streams have been sent to TVs through its set-top boxes, which currently range in price from $59.99 to $99.99" |
"Roku's line of boxes have come a long way from being used only to stream Netflix, and now the company has announced a plan to take its talents to casual gaming." |
"[Anthony Wood] has a history of getting in on TV trends early, inventing a DVR in the 1990s at ReplayTV. Roku, founded in 2003, was originally a mobile game development studio but in May 2008 launched a box that connected to the Internet and streamed Netflix videos. In 2009, Roku started adding more content choices through its Channel Store, one of the first app stores for TVs." |

How do we judge whether a society really works? It's not in the height of its buildings or the size of its armed forces: what matters most is the happiness, health and long-term wellbeing of its people.
Changing demographics mean changing needs: an aging population in the West; a corresponding increase in chronic disease; and a comparative reduction in the tax pool all have a massive impact on healthcare planning and provision.
As an active partner to healthcare agencies worldwide, Atos is especially focused on improved process and information management. Specialties include:
For Atos, the key is to be expert not just in technology but in healthcare itself. Technology is a key enabler for change, but the future is being shaped by social and demographic forces. We understand these from practical, hands-on experience.

Zach Duke will remain in the rotation
Manager John Russell announced that Zach Duke will remain in starting rotation after having a much better side session.
"He's been working on some things, had better tempo, better arm speed," Russell said of Duke's side session. "We took some hitters down to watch him. He was good. Hopefully, that's something he can build off. He looked more … Zach-ish, I would say."
Russell had previously said Duke has consistently looked good during his side session despite having horrible outings.
"This was a little different. He was a little less choppy, more fluid, more aggressive down in the zone. The kid's worked hard. I'd like to give him the opportunity to straighten some things out."
Pitching coach Ray Searage said his biggest thing to overcome would be his mind.
"The biggest thing was not trusting himself — trying to make his stuff better rather than taking the stuff that he had in the side into the game," Searage said, when asked if he could pinpoint the root of Duke's recent struggles. "Instead, he's trying to make the slider sharper that much more or the sinker sink that much more or the changeup be that much more of a deception pitch. He got out of himself. We're trying to help him find his identity to be Zach again."
Duke will start on Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks at PNC Park.

You've probably heard us talk about the "mouth-body connection" and how periodontal (gum) disease has been linked to heart disease, stroke and diabetes, in addition to pregnant women's chances of giving birth to pre-term, low-weight babies. Did you know, however, about the correlation between gum disease and rheumatoid arthritis, kidney disease, and even certain cancers?
While rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and gum disease are both systemic inflammatory diseases, it is interesting to note that patients with RA are eight times more likely to suffer from gum disease than those without RA.
Also important is the correlation between gum disease and kidney disease. We know that gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults, so it's noteworthy to learn that toothless adults are more likely to have chronic kidney disease than adults with all their teeth.
Men with tooth loss and a history of gum disease are reported to have an increased risk of developing certain cancers. While more research continues to be conducted, associations have been noted between gum disease and kidney, pancreatic and haematologial cancers, although gum disease may just be a marker of a susceptible immune system. Severe gum disease has also been documented as a risk factor for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Let's talk about your periodontal health, and we'll work to ensure your healthy body starts with a healthy mouth!

Latest Reviews for Gemstone Rings
The ring was exactly what I expected from what I saw on the website. It's beautiful and my wife was VERY happy with the gift.
Picture is deceptive, but then again you guys know that. It was still a pretty ring, but honesty in marketing goes a long way.
The color of the citrine in the ring was not as deep as I thought it would be. I wish the band was a little wider but overall it's okay.
This ring was more than I had expected. Good size, nice weight and I would give this ring as a gift any time...it is very nice.

Just because the recovery is slow and budgets are still limited, doesn't mean we can pass on employee training, development and learning. In this age of information blur, our employees must always be learning – employee training and development is critical. So when things get tough, the tough find clever ways to provide employee training on a shoestring.
Consider the following ways to keep learning on "go" when the education budget says "no:"
1. Solicit resources from employees – what are their favorite leadership, self-help, skill books and resources – and bring them to the workplace for others to use.
2. Solicit extra resources from local colleges – including texts or resources that are no longer part of a course or program.
3. Identify used copies of great resources by authors such as Seth Godin, Marcus Buckingham, John Fleming, Simon Sinek, Daniel Pink, Steve Farber, Paul Coehlo, Brian Tracy and others. Find them on e-Bay, Amazon.com, Thriftbooks.com, Barnes and Noble and others. Have the organization define the key resources they want, and charge employees with finding them at discounted rates.
4. Create a company library with resources sourced from others and from used copies of current resources.
5. Send one employee to a high-value conference with the requirement to share the message and skills of the conference with the company. Host a "Lunch and Learn" program to review what was learned at the conference.
6. Find on-line training programs that don't require expensive travel. Have the same requirement to share information as in #5.
7. Give each employee a personal education budget and have them create their training plan with no more than the allocated funds. It is amazing how clever an employee can be when they control their own resources.
8. Develop in-house training for all of the most critical skills. Develop an incentive program for those involved in preparing and teaching skill training. Consider basing the incentive on improved results, not just on preparing and teaching.
9. Create an "on-the-job" academy. Have employees shadow more experienced employees as part of a skill development program.
10. Share training resources with another organization/partner with another organization; find another organization through networking, in a local chamber or in a professional association. Two organizations sharing resources can greatly expand what each organization has access to.
You know how when things get tight we seem to become more effective at rethinking how we do things, how we spend and how we can stretch a dollar. Well, the need for learning remains, even if the funds don't. Employee training and development is critical for every organization to develop and maintain its edge. How have you been able to help your employees learn and grow even when the resources are limited?

XHTML Validation help
Alright, I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm supposed to do to make this valid and still work. I recently rebuilt stupid5pin.com in WordPress using CMS and XHTML. I did a custom front page based off of a tutorial I found on PlayWorkPlay, which I had to tweak the hell out of to get to work. Every other page on my site will easily pass validation but the front page won't. So the following is my code for the entire page, and the output it's giving me when I try to validate it:
<?php get_header(); ?>

$categories = get_categories('hide_empty=0&order=DESC&orderby=id');
foreach ($categories as $cat) { ?>

<div class=\"<?echo $cat->name; ?>\">

Latest Item in <? echo $cat->name; ?>

More Recent Items in <? echo $cat->name; ?>
$catID = $cat->cat_ID;
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
// Latest post with excerpt
if($first) {

<a href=\"<?php the_permalink() ?>\"><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
} // end if
else {
if ($ul==0) {
echo '
';

<a href=\"<?php the_permalink() ?>\"><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php } // end else ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?if ($ul) echo '
' ?>

<?php } //end foreach ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
and the error messages:Validation Output: 2 Errors
1. Error Line 41, Column 24: document type does not allow element \"div\" here; assuming missing \"li\" start-tag .

2. Error Line 116, Column 6: end tag for \"li\" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified .
You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to \"self-close\" an element, that is, ending it with \"/>\" instead of \">\".
3. Info Line 41, Column 2: start tag was here .

Anybody have any idea what I'm supposed to put where to make this code valid without breaking my layout? (BTW if anybody's wondering, I put the style elements directly in this document because this is the only page that any of these particular styles are a part of)UL elements must contain
 only. Those
 can contain what you like.
You have a
 containing
 elements and that simply isn't allowed.

 (-- on line 40)
and its partnering
 (-- on line 116) and that should fix the validation. You will have to restyle - but then you shouldn't really be using inline styling anyway ;)Awesome, that worked perfectly. Got it still looking the same, and validating. And as I stated, I only used inline styling on here because these elements are only used on this page. Didn't see the use in adding stuff to the stylesheet that only effects one page.

Recommended Things to Do by Groupon Customers
The Westcott House Foundation celebrates its charge's history through continuing preservation efforts, safeguarding the house as both a museum and shrine to Frank Lloyd Wright's vision for Prairie-style homes. One of 260 of Wright's remaining houses in the world, the pristinely restored structure entices visitors from far and wide with its architectural allure and unparalleled hide-and-seek spots. The grounds embody Wright's love of melding a building with its site, boasting a terrace, a pool, and period-inspired gardens. An intricately latticed pergola connects the carriage house to the main building, a rare and interesting gem among Wright's normally trellis-free Prairie homes.
The telltale sounds of fun fill the air at either Magic Mountain Fun Center location, as friends and families careen around tracks in go-karts, compete on mind-bending mini-golf courses, or do battle in bumper cars. Piping-hot pizzas fuel days of rides and arcade games, and the park's varied birthday packages catapult parties into a fun-filled gamut of feasting, bumper boats, and laser tag. Open late, the parks afford guests the opportunity to while the night away or lure their night terrors in front of a speeding bumper car.
Though it's been open since 1963, Sequoia Pro Bowl recently became a Columbus hot spot when owners Tim and Liz Voss turned the ordinary alley into a full-service facility that frequently hosts PBA tournaments. Seven days a week, patrons heave heavy spheres down 32 brand-new lanes, refueling between frames with Sequoia's hearty menu of filling pub-style fare. Guests can also visit the 7-10 Club, packed with arcade games, ping-pong, and karaoke singers reciting the Bowling National Anthem. During the summer months, an outdoor sports bar and 5 sand volleyball courts provide a new arena for friendly competition.
The 4,000 square feet of climbing space at Vertical Adventures encompasses terrain for top roping, bouldering, and lead climbing under the watchful supervision of a trained staff. The gym challenges wall scramblers to test both their physical endurance and problem-solving skills as they take on the top-rope courses, which represent the majority of the routes and tower as high as 25 feet. Rather than let new patrons become overwhelmed by the variety of courses or get stranded at the top without reading material, the gym's instructors also conduct lessons for all climbing levels to help climbers improve technique and conquer fears.
Originally invented by bored henchmen looking to pass the time at Doctor Berserko's secret Antarctic lair, hockey has since overtaken polo and unicycle jousting as America's pastime. Hop on the bandwagon with today's Groupon. For $20 to $35, you get one upper 200-level or one lower 100-level ticket to see the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets take part in one of two slap-shooting matchups: Saturday, March 27, at 7 p.m. vs. the New York Islanders or Tuesday, March 30, at 7 p.m. vs. the Tampa Bay Lightning. Depending on seating, these tickets are usually $44 or $75. The Saturday, March 27, game is also designated as Huntington Hat Night, and fans will receive a free Blue Jackets hat.
The Columbus Museum of Art dazzles eyes and tickles imaginations with a broad collection of 19th- and early-20th-century American and European artwork, as well as a cavalcade of traveling exhibits. Wear a realistic beast-man costume to the current exhibition Fur, Fins, and Feathers, which spotlights animal motifs within the museum's collections, from Inuit carvings to live armadillos posing as statues (runs through June 5). The permanent exhibit Old Masters captures subtleties of shadow, 19th-century American works encompass vast landscapes, and the extensive Late Modernism and Contemporary assemblage implodes luminous colors in twisting, spiraling transformations. Meanwhile, the museum's 18,000-square-foot Center for Creativity includes a technology lab and hands-on, kid-centered artistic projects to get children interested in fine art at an impressionable age, keeping them from becoming work-a-day doctors and lawyers.

Proposed gun club in Lakewood Ranch put on pause
Date: January 24, 2013
by: Josh Siegel | Staff writer
Manatee County Hearing Officer Lori Dorman changed course yet again on a proposed gun club in Lakewood Ranch Wednesday, reopening a public hearing out of concern about noise from gunfire.
On Jan. 8, Dorman issued a notice of intent to approve a special permit application for Schroeder-Manatee Ranch's Ancient Oak Gun Club, a proposed 24-station sporting clay course to be built on 78 acres south of State Road 64 East, off Uihlein Road.
During a Dec. 19 public hearing, officials and parents from the Center for Montessori School and officials from Bayside Community Church, both neighboring residents to the proposed site, had expressed reservations about the gun club's proximity to their facilities.
After Dorman issued the notice of intent — in which she declared the club compatible with the area and not a danger to public safety — those who spoke out against it in December had until Jan. 16 to respond to the county.
Dorman would have issued the Final Order by Jan. 24.
Instead, after considering feedback from the concerned parties, Dorman said noise from the proposed gun club might be too loud.
Manatee County's noise ordinance says noise cannot exceed 60 decibels.
In an interview with the East County Observer in January, Wayne Evans, brought on by SMR to run the project last June, said the low-brass, low-ammunition ringing from the club's shotguns would be quieter than the 60-decibel limit.
Now, Dorman might think otherwise.
She will have 45 days to schedule a new public hearing to be held at the County Administration Building in downtown Bradenton.

The latest in the Puck-rakers' position-by-position breakdown of the Blue Jackets -- a look at where they stand, where they might be going, and what the burning questions are in the months that lie ahead:
Depth chart: 1. Vinny Prospal; 2. R.J. Umberger; 3. Matt Calvert; 4. Blake Comeau; 5. Colton Gillies; 6. Ryan Russell.
Expiring contracts: Comeau, Prospal and Russell are unrestricted free agents. Gillies is a restricted free agent.
Rear-view mirrior: There were surprises, both good and bad, on the left side of the ice for the Blue Jackets. Calvert emerged as a difference-maker at the NHL level, but Umberger got off to a woeful start offensively for the second season in a row. Meanwhile, Prospal continued to be ageless, leading the Jackets in scoring. ... Prospal made a very wise decision to play in Europe during the lockout, keeping himself close to "NHL game" speed when the lockout lifted. At 38 years old, Prospal was the oldest player to lead his team in scoring in the NHL last season. ... Beyond his play on the ice, Prospal had an inspirational impact, too. The denizens of Nationwide Arena may never forget his "scoreboard" taunt in the dying minutes of a Jackets win over Detroit. ...Prospal was nominated for the Masterton Trophy by the Columbus chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association, recognizing ...

The Crew's road game against Toronto on Saturday was an evening of firsts – and one almost-first.
Chad Barson made his MLS debut and Eric Gehrig made his first appearance of the season, but it was Wil Trapp who found himself agonizingly close to following suit. When defensive midfielder Matias Sanchez suffered an injury in the 68th minute, it was rookie and homegrown player Trapp who was set to replace him. The warm-up jersey was off and the coaches were giving Trapp his final instructions when Sanchez was able to shake it off and remain in the game.
More taxpayers are doing their taxes and filing them electronically from home these days.
With Chad Marshall out for the Toronto game, I asked Crew head coach Robert Warzycha if he would consider moving a player like Josh Williams inside as a replacement. His response was that by doing so, he would be seeking new starters in two positions and not just one.
Now with Gláuber also out for this weekend, I again asked Warzycha if he would be reluctant to shift a starter from another position.

Dickey visits winter meetings, more action ahead
FILE - In this Aug. 25, 2012, file photo, Boston Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington speaks at a news conference before a baseball game between the Red Sox and the Kansas City Royals in Boston. The Red Sox have a lot of money to spend at this year's winter meetings, but Cherington isn't sure that's the way to go. He said on Saturday that there is more than one way to rebuild after last year's 93-loss season. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer, File) |
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — R.A. Dickey wandered through the sprawling Opryland Hotel on Sunday, dropping into baseball's annual winter meetings for a quick visit.
The newly minted NL Cy Young Award winner had a purpose — nope, nothing to do with getting a new contract from the New York Mets. Not a sightseeing trip, either, to marvel at the river boats, waterfall or "A Country Christmas" decorations inside the complex.
Rather, Dickey made the 15-minute drive from his home to see a Mets trainer for a routine checkup after abdominal surgery in October. The knuckleballer did find it a tad bit ironic, however, that when baseball's annual swapfest was last held in this hotel, in 2007, he was in limbo, left off Minnesota's list of protected players and plucked by Seattle in the Rule 5 draft.

Rosa Parks statue unveiled at Capitol
By Suzanne Gamboa
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama and congressional leaders unveiled a full-length statue of civil rights icon Rosa Parks in the Capitol Wednesday, paying tribute to a figure whose name became synonymous with courage in the face of injustice.
Parks becomes the first black woman to be honored with a full-length statue in the Capitol's Statuary Hall. A bust of another black woman, abolitionist Sojourner Truth, sits in the Capitol Visitors Center.
Obama said that with the installation of the statue, Parks, who died in 2005, has taken her rightful place among those who have shaped the course of U.S. history. He said her presence in Capitol would serve to "remind us no matter how humble or lofty our positions, just what it is that leadership requires."
Obama and House Speaker John Boehner jointly led the unveiling, standing with the statue between them as they grasped and pulled in opposite directions on the braided cord that held the covering. Congressional leaders in the House and Senate joined Parks' niece in tugging on the cord.
"We do well by placing a statue of her here," Obama said, "but we can do no greater honor to her memory than to carry forward the power of her principle and a courage born of conviction."
The statue portrays Parks seated, wearing a hat and clutching her trademark purse — "a permanent reminder of the cause she embodied," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The several hundred lawmakers, family and congressional staff who gathered for the ceremony in the vaulted hall rose to their feet and whooped as Boehner opened the ceremony.
"Here in the hall, she casts an unlikely silhouette — unassuming in a lineup of proud stares, challenging all of us once more to look up and to draw strength from stillness," said Boehner, R-Ohio.
Parks is famous for her 1955 refusal to give up her seat on a city bus in Alabama to a white man, but there's plenty about the rest of her experiences that she deliberately withheld from her family.
While Parks and her husband, Raymond, were childless, her brother, the late Sylvester McCauley, had 13 children. They decided Parks' nieces and nephews didn't need to know the horrible details surrounding her civil rights activism, said Rhea McCauley, Parks' niece.
"They didn't talk about the lynchings and the Jim Crow laws," said McCauley, 61, of Orlando, Fla. "They didn't talk about that stuff to us kids. Everyone wanted to forget about it and sweep it under the rug."
He said more than 50 of Parks' relatives traveled to Washington for the ceremony.
In a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a city bus in segregated Montgomery, Ala. She was arrested, touching off a bus boycott that stretched over a year.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Parks had "moved the world when she refused to move her seat."
Jeanne Theoharis, author of the new biography "The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks," said Parks was very much a full-fledged civil rights activist, yet her contributions have not been treated like those of other movement leaders, such as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
"Rosa Parks is typically honored as a woman of courage, but that honor focuses on the one act she made on the bus on Dec. 5, 1955," said Theoharis, a political science professor at Brooklyn College-City University of New York.
"That courage, that night was the product of decades of political work before that and continued ... decades after" in Detroit, she said.
Parks died Oct. 24, 2005, at age 92. The U.S. Postal Service issued a stamp in her honor on Feb. 4, which would have been her 100th birthday.
Parks was raised by her mother and grandparents who taught her that part of being respected was to demand respect, said Theoharis, who spent six years researching and writing the Parks biography.
She was an educated woman who recalled seeing her grandfather sitting on the porch steps with a gun during the height of white violence against blacks in post-World War I Alabama.
After she married Raymond Parks, she joined him in his work in trying to help nine young black men, ages 12 to 19, who were accused of raping two white women in 1931. The nine were later convicted by an all-white jury in Scottsboro, Ala., part of a long legal odyssey for the so-called Scottsboro Boys.
In the 1940s, Parks joined the NAACP and was elected secretary of its Montgomery, Ala., branch, working with civil rights activist Edgar Nixon to fight barriers to voting for blacks and investigate sexual violence against women, Theoharis said.
Just five months before refusing to give up her seat, Parks attended Highlander Folk School, which trained community organizers on issues of poverty but had begun turning its attention to civil rights.
After the bus boycott, Parks and her husband lost their jobs and were threatened. They left for Detroit, where Parks was an activist against the war in Vietnam and worked on poverty, housing and racial justice issues, Theoharis said.
Theoharis said that while she considers the 9-foot-statue of Parks in the Capitol an "incredible honor" for Parks, "I worry about putting this history in the past when the actual Rosa Parks was working on and calling on us to continue to work on racial injustice."
Parks has been honored previously in Washington with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1996 and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1999, both during the Clinton administration.
But McCauley said the Statuary Hall honor is different.
"The medal you could take it, put it on a mantel," McCauley said. "But her being in the hall itself is permanent and children will be able to tour the (Capitol) and look up and see my aunt's face."
