Souris completes Asmussen sweep
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Trainer Steve Asmussen and jockey Roman Chapa completed a sweep of the opening weekend stakes at Oaklawn Park on Saturday when Souris drew clear by 3 3/4 lengths to win the $50,000 American Beauty Stakes.
Asmussen and Chapa also teamed together on Friday to win the $50,000 Dixieland Stakes with Razor on opening day.
Souris ($6.40) settled along the rail early, about three lengths behind She's a Rebel Too, who led the field through an opening quarter in 22.83 seconds. She's a Rebel Too continued to set the pace through a half-mile in 46.84 seconds, while Souris advanced on the inside and drew clear in the stretch, covering six furlongs in 1:10.83.
"That's the shortest way around there, on the rail," said Chapa.
Saltwater Runner finished second, while it was another length and a half back in third to Southern Surprise. Josh's Madelyn, who was favored, finished sixth.
Souris earned $30,000 for the win, which improved her record to nine wins in 29 career starts and earnings of $557,406. Souris is a 5-year-old daughter of Defrere who races for Nelson Bunker Hunt.
Earlier on Saturday, Asmussen won another sprint stakes for fillies and mares when Savorthetime captured the $100,000 The First Lady at Gulfstream Park.

I've been seeing this guy and the last time we hung out he kept saying how amazing he thinks I am and that he really likes my personality. When we were about to have sex he asked if instead of having rough sex we could make passionate love instead. I was under the impression that to make love meant being in love. Are these signs he's falling in love with me?
Most Helpful Guy
That is correct. The moment it switches from rough sex to anything closer to cuddling, dude is lost lol.11|00|0
Does it change anything that he was leaving and moving? Do you think e was trying to tell me how he feels before he leaves?
- Show AllShow Less
So does that mean he was falling for me and is sad to leave?
Well. He's sad.

There is little comparison to the love and passion shown by the cast of "Romeo and Juliet" at Brethren Christian High School, where the tragic tale of the two star-crossed lovers is brought to life. Audience members were enchanted by the actors' portrayal of the well-known and beloved characters of this classic play from Shakespeare.
Cole Fencl as Romeo is immediately entrancing as a love-struck young man. His varying facial expressions give life to the moments of passion, as when he's speaking to Juliet, and well as to those of distress, as when he learns that Juliet is dead.
Doe-eyed Ashley Thinnsen brings a youthful innocence to Juliet. While telling the Nurse of her marriage plans, Thinnsen shows the connection Juliet and her confidante share. The adoration she has for the young Romeo is demonstrated not only in the lines she speaks, but in the way she speaks them.
Bringing some comedy into the tragedy, Juliet's Nurse (Jordan Thomas) and Romeo's good friend Mercutio (Matthew Holevas) had the audience doubling over with laughter. Because of the actors' delightful physicality, the audience grasped the jokes that may otherwise have been lost in the language.
Thomas' nurturing voice and playful interactions with Juliet define her character as one of Shakespeare's great comic reliefs. Mercutio provides a more masculine sense of comedy. Holevas' physicality and natural storytelling abilities lend well to the overall result.
The ease with which the cast members spoke a difficult language provided audience members with a clear understanding of the story.
Whether by fate or circumstance, this tale of two lovers is unforgettable, much like the performances of this astounding cast.
Sabrina Thompson is a junior at Pacifica High School in Garden Grove.

The meeting brings together the heads of Mexico's diplomatic representations abroad to update them on the main issues of domestic politics and the economy, and to discuss the progress made by and challenges facing our country.
The main goal of the meeting is to define the guidelines of the federal government in matters of foreign policy for 2017 and to discuss the priorities involved in continuing to position Mexico as an actor with global responsibility.
The annual meeting of ambassadors and consuls is one of Mexico's most important foreign policy events. It will be attended by cabinet members, state government officials, legislators, academics and well-known national and international speakers.
As part of the annual event, regional meetings of the Mexican ambassadors and consuls in Europe and North America have already been held. The Foreign Secretary and the diplomats reviewed the most salient issues relating to both geographic areas and their importance for Mexico.
During the regional meeting for Europe, the Foreign Secretary instructed the diplomats there to strengthen the political dialogue, boost their efforts to promote Mexico's economic, tourist and cultural advantages, and, in particular, to find new opportunities to increase European trade and investment in Mexico.
Foreign Secretary Videgaray also led the regional meeting for the Asia-Pacific region, where he was accompanied by Undersecretary Carlos de Icaza, and the meeting of the Latin American and Caribbean region, which was attended by Undersecretary Socorro Flores.

Long survey form breaks exel output at 250th columnAsked by Michael1986 on January 13, 2014 at 01:49 PM
Dear supporter,
In my form the entring into the fields in the excel file is stoped after it reaches 254 fields. Can you please solve this problem? Otherwise it makes your tool useless for a long surveys.
Many thanks

Dear TitusN
The integration with Google spreadsheet works even worse; in addition to stoping inserting the fields in the same place, for some reason, for some questions (multichoise) there is a time stamp instead of inserted answer.

MOUNT UNION, Pa (Reuters) - A music festival with heavy metal, punk, hip-hop and pop music might seem like an unusual place to get baptized, but Creation is a festival with strict rules: no alcohol, no drugs and no sex before marriage.
"It's like the Christian version of Woodstock, basically, except it's neat and clean," said Victor Gibson, 37, from Manheim, Pennsylvania, who brought his wife and five children aged from five to 14 to the four-day festival.
"Take a look back at the crowd," he said, as thousands of fans held their arms in the air, pounding out the beat of a song by Christian band Kutless, whose sound Gibson likened to Metallica. "No rioting, no fighting, nobody getting beat up."
Lily Ellerson, a 12-year-old from Maryland, was one of nearly 200 people who were baptized in a pond on the final day of Creation, which drew around 70,000 people in late June.
Ellerson said she decided to be baptized after hearing a speaker at one of the side-events at the festival.
"I felt God was there," Ellerson said. "I could just see him, I could feel him all around me, and I thought I wanted to give my full heart to him."
Ellerson came with a church youth group of 47 people, including her cousin Emily White, who volunteers at the church.
"You really do feel like, wow, we are in the Kingdom right now and right here," White said. "You're living in a community of 70,000 people, without the benefit of electricity or water, yet everybody loves each other, you don't hear about things being stolen or fights.
"We really are living the way God made us to live."
One in four Americans count themselves as evangelical Protestants, a growing movement with serious clout in a country where religion and politics often mix. Creation is officially non-denominational and it drew some Catholics, but the rhetoric of most speakers was that of "born again" Christians.
The highlight of the festival for some was the baptism.
Barefoot and wearing shorts and tee-shirts, they waded thigh-deep into the pond to be dunked by pastors who prayed with them, then submerged them entirely in the water, cheered on by hundreds of emotional family members and friends.
"Can you imagine God smiling right now?" one woman said as she watched.
Now in its 30th year and growing bigger every year, the festival is in many ways like any secular summer music festival -- thousands of young people camping out, getting muddy in the rain and eagerly hunting down their heroes for autographs.
But these music fans wore T-shirts with slogans such as "Virginity Rocks" and "Mosh for Jesus," the dress code encouraged modesty and some friendly fans stood around offering free hugs to passersby.
And unlike other rock festivals there was a curfew and alcohol and drugs were strictly off limits.
Between the music, teenagers and students attended seminars on abortion, on "Success God's Way" and one called "BeYOUtiful" for young girls.
Matthew Benjamin appealed to one group to help spread the word of Jesus to students in China. He urged volunteers to step forward and release brightly colored balloons as a symbol of their pledge to give a year of their lives to mission work.
Despite touching on some serious topics, the tone of the festival was more celebration than sermon.
Digressing during a talk urging people to sponsor children in developing countries, inspirational speaker Bob Lenz said he had five children, adding: "We like how they're made."
"Sex is beautiful when it's in marriage," he said, provoking laughs. "It's what God has designed, it's awesome, it's time to take it back and say 'God is not a killjoy."'
Gibson, a father of five and one of few African Americans in a largely white crowd, said he preferred hip-hop but he was happily singing along to Kutless. "Music makes you feel something but the end goal is to lead you to God," he said.
"What's important is the message behind the music."
Kutless guitarist James Meade, 25, said he was saved by Jesus after years of being abused as a child, spending time in jail for dealing drugs and nearly dying of alcohol poisoning on his 17th birthday.
"We're five individual guys who have really experienced what the Bible and what the Gospel talks about in meeting Jesus Christ personally," Meade said in an interview. "It's not just music for the sake of art."
Much of the music spoke more directly about God.
Group 1 Crew sang a song called "Forgive Me" that was like a hip-hop version of Psalm 23, including the words "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death." Chris Tomlin had a crowd of around 30,000 singing along to his version of "Amazing Grace."
"A lady just came up to me about an hour ago, she said 'You know, I really don't like this music much, but I know it's good for the kids, I see the way they relate to it,"' festival founder Harry Thomas said in an interview.
Jonathan Andreas, 39, a part-time musician and insurance salesman, said people were drawn to Creation to find meaning.
"Our materialistic, hedonistic, sex-crazed society leaves people empty, and they're looking for answers," he said, his face lit up by tens of thousands of candles held aloft by the crowd at midnight.
Courtney McLaren, a 19-year-old student from Wilmington, Delaware, who was among those baptized, said she felt like the United States was heading towards a "spiritual war."
"It's like America is teetering on a very thin line right now and it could go either way, and it pretty much depends on what happens with our generation," McLaren said.
"That's why Creation is trying so hard to reach out to everybody," she said. "We've got to change Hollywood now, we've got to help them and we've got to get more of our bands out onto the mainstream and bring some good messages."
Some at the festival were on a more personal mission.
Timothy Adams, a 54-year-old on disability who drove from Daytona, Florida, with his motorbike on a trailer behind his camper van, had placed a placard on the windscreen of his vehicle reading: "Wanted: Stalwart Christian woman 4 wife."
He said he hadn't heard back from any women.
"There's a lot of guys who are looking for wives," Adams said, wearing a T-shirt that said "Satan Sucks," partly obscured by his long beard. "It's hard to find a Christian woman, there's so few of them around."

"For pity's sake!" the bartender
said. "How bleak
"I've nothing of the kind," said the salesman.
"You'll have to hear another, I'm afraid,
That's colored black." "A modern-day parade!"
The bartender cried. "What is it with us, then,
That art should find such shit to revel in,
And not be art unless it bottom feed
And make near suicides of all who read?
But go ahead, dear Sir -- do what you will,
Though too much truth cannot but do us ill."
A salesman, as you know, must live
by greed, THE SALESMAN'S
TALE A doctor who devoted his
A doctor who devoted his
"Now wait!" the third one said. "I need to think!
Let's go to a bar and have a drink,
And not talk with the corpse in front of us."
And so it was agreed with little fuss
That they would meet in twenty minutes at
A bar that all three knew, and, further, that
They would all equally share what might accrue
From whatever code the old man knew.
Twenty minutes later, the three were there,
Drinking to the fortune they would share --
The Nobel Prize, the patents, and the fame
That would make each of them a household name,
Not to speak of immortality,
Life that lasted through eternity.
"To the death of death!" the third one toasted,
"And to its murderers!" the second boasted.
"Let's meet up at the house," the first one said.
"We'll just finish up -- you go ahead,"
The third one answered, pointing to their drinks.
And so the first one left. They're drunk, he thinks.
The road up to the master's house is steep
And winding, and the canyon very deep.
Maybe they'll go over it, and I
Will have this to myself, if they should die.
Ashamed of such a thought, he started driving
Up the mountain road, his dark thought writhing
Like a cornered snake inside his brain.
Darkness fell, and it began to rain.
It took all his concentration to
Stay on the road, as a sharp pain grew
Under his left arm -- a gas pain, surely.
He could barely see, and drove on purely
By instinct up the narrow, winding road
Towards his master's mountaintop abode.
At a sharp, blind curve he saw a sign:
"Road washed out ahead." And right behind
Barriers across his narrow lane,
Just barely visible in the pouring rain.
He swerved left, then saw a gaping hole
Just to his right, beyond an orange pole
Blocking it off. And suddenly he thought:
Suppose I move the barriers? I ought
Not think that way! But there it was: a chance
Thrown in front of him. Fortune grants
Few such opportunities. He pulled
Over, shaking. Greed his body ruled
As he stumbled out into the rain,
Not so much in cunning as in pain,
And pulled the barriers around the curve
Where they could not be seen. No car could swerve
Fast enough to stay upon the road,
But would go off the cliff. Far off there glowed
The headlights of two cars a mile apart
Coming up the hill. The disciple's heart
Raced painfully beneath his aching chest.
Something was wrong! Some giant finger pressed
Against his side! He barely got to where
He could watch unseen, then fainted there,
Seized by poison sprinkled in his drink
By the third, who quickly reached the brink
And tumbled off, down a thousand feet;
The second, moments later, a repeat,
As the first lay dying, nearly stilled,
The victim of the two he just had killed.
The master's papers passed to a trustee
Who sold off what was under lock and key,
But threw out junk that none could find use for,
Including what was in the second drawer.
Was it indeed the code that would kill death?
Or just the rant of one near his last breath?
Greed had got the three out of the way
Who might have known, so death another day
Ruled life, as he had for all these years,
The tyrant whom we worship with our fears.
"You live by greed, and yet you it
"I do only what this design requires,"
The salesman said, "and follow Chaucer's lead.
The tale is old fashioned out of need,
For Chaucer had the Pardoner preach against
What he himself precisely did. And whence
This need to follow Chaucer comes, I know
Not, but it is how I must go."
"Now you're next," said the bartender to the wife.
"Please forget this Chaucer! On my life,
I find no pleasure in this shadow tale!
Be yourself, and on your own regale
This company with a story of your own,
Not one that mimics one that is long gone!"
"I cannot help myself," the good wife said.
"But listen as I resurrect the dead."

Being a musician myself in a percussion band, I'm always interested in the person behind the music, their image and their drive to create. Another passion of mine is architecture, as I am an interior architect and professor at the Maastricht Academy of Architecture. Music, fashion, street art, movies, architecture, photography, art, taxidermy, theatre…if it's odd and extraordinary it attracts my attention. Writing about music gives me the ability to express my insights. Maybe it's my desire for teaching that I want to reveal more than just the song…

Long story short. I met this guy at a party. We ended up in his place. But we didn't have sex. We just cuddled. We added each other on Facebook. The next day he texted me, saying it was nice to get to know me.
A week pasted by and I decided that I wanted to ask him out. I played the "I'm new in the city" and asked him to show me around. He said yes to showing me around, but he's busy the next two weeks. I texted him that it's okay, we'll just find out when later. His response was "we will".
Now I'm wondering if busy means doesn't want to go on the "date"?
Most Helpful Guy
I don't think he would've messaged you the day after if he wasn't interested. I would never message a girl the day after if I didn't want to do it again. However, I wouldn't ghost her for two weeks either. Do you guys still talk over text or anything? Otherwise I'd say be open to other dates/meet-ups too. If this guy wants to see you he'll remind you of your date or at least happily keep a conversation going via text.11|00|0
He didn't gosh me for two weeks. Just a week. I'm not sure if it makes it any better. We met last week, I texted him yesterday asking him out. We texted each other for a few hours, and now nothing.
A few hours yesterday is great, especially if he tells you he's kinda busy. Anyway, see how it turns out, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. He might've been a little unsure about the whole thing since you met at a party, maybe both got a little drunk etc.
Yeah. We were drunk. I kinda get the feeling that he's just (maybe a few months ago) gotten out of LTR.

WWW A.Open - Qual. R2: Simone Bolelli vs. Konstantin Kravchuk
In 1st round Bolelli won in 3,5 hours battle against poor Michael Lammer! Final result was 4-6 7-6(5) 6-4. Bolelli faced with 17 break points and saved 12 of them. also he won 5/17 break points on oponnent serve
Kravchuk pass through 1st round tnx to win against Grigelis 5-7 6-3 6-2 with used 4/10 bp's, and Grigelis had 3/5.
Now, italian mafiosso is threated like pretty strong favourite in match against Kravchuk and I really don't see reason for that because Bolelli was really bad on hardcourts in last two seasons and this match against Lammer was another one which goes to bad category (70 unforced errors from Bolelli).
What is your prediction for this one ?

Full Details
Reagent refill for Hanna Phospate Checker.
- Enough reagent for 25 tests.
Works As Expected By ReeferRoo on 5/2/2017ReeferRoo would recommend this product to a friendNice shrink wrapped little box with the packets inside. Works great, reliable! As others have said, I wish there was an easier way to get the reagents out.
GET RID OF THE SQUARE PACKETS HANNA! By John on 4/20/2017John would recommend this product to a friendI have been using the Hanna checkers for a long time and I really like them and I give the actual checker 5 stars, however the reagent for the PO4 checker is a really poor design. The square pack with a little powder tucked in the crease is really annoying. Why cant they just put the powder for the 25 tests in a vile with a small scoop...like the ones that are included in the salifert test kits? Or better yet...how about a liquid dropper. There had to be some really smart people who designed the checker but where was the common sense when it came to the reagent package design!???
powder packages difficult to work with By Analog Kid on 3/10/2017Analog Kid would recommend this product to a friendI concur with most reviews here that working with the powder and the packets is a pain. Not sure if there's still powder stuck in the bottom crease of the package. It really discourages me from wanting to test for phosphates. Liquid reagent would be ideal! Or maybe another tool to aid in dispensing into the opening of the vial -- like a package in the shape of a cylinder/straw or maybe use of a custom funnel.
Good if.. By Dann B on 2/1/2017Dann B would recommend this product to a friendWorks great just wish there was an easier way to add the powder to the tiny opening!!!! Only issue/ complaint
Works great By Tony on 1/24/2017Tony would recommend this product to a friendIt's a reagent open the package and pour it in does what is expected
works great By ozzy on 1/5/2017ozzy would recommend this product to a friendas long as you cut off two sides from the packet it really is not as hard to get all the powder in the vials as some of these reviews make it sound. lol. it's hard if you only cut one side off. happy reefing
No problems but you think they can do something better... By Allen on 11/24/2016Allen would recommend this product to a friendLike most reviews, I have no issues with the Hanna Checker and I have opening this packet and pouring it into the very narrow glass bottle down to a science. But why does it need to be this hard? How much sales does Hanna lose over this issue? You think they would come up with a liquid reagent and I love to suggestion about making it a pill. Drop and go. Hanna are your listening? You ALMOST have a great product.
Could be improved By Lance A. Lot on 10/10/2016Lance A. Lot would recommend this product to a friendLove the Hanna Checker hate these packets. I have watched the videos of how to cut it perfectly and I still mess it up and spill sometimes.
Highly Accurate and Reliable Reagent By Lawrence on 9/7/2016Lawrence would recommend this product to a friendI have been using the Hanna Phosphate Tester for about a year and couldn't ask for better. It is highly accurate and has a repeat ability of plus/minus 2ppm. For the people having problems with the reagent packets here is a suggestion that has worked very well for me:
1) Get a business card with a slick finish and crease it lengthwise down the middle.
2) Cut open the reagent packet and pour all of the contents on to the card
3) Flex the card to make a sharp V and pour the reagent into the vial. It should all slide in easily with no waste.
used it once! By javier on 7/17/2016javier wouldn't recommend this product to a friendUsed the device of a friend to get familiar with it before purchasing, but after my experience I think I came up with an idea for the Hanna Instruments family for the reagents situation. Hopefully they read this and think it a good idea, or at least edges them towards a better reagent dispensing method.
Instead of the horrible little paper packets, why not use Pills (like for medicine)? I thought it would be easier to open a little pill to pour the reagent into the vile with ease. Just make sure you mark them so people don't confuse them with actual medicine.
Despite the bad experience with the reagent, I still managed to get a proper reading. But the uncertainty does not weigh out the expense of the reagents, since sometimes you end up doing the test twice just to make sure you did it correctly; this particularly feels like a scam to get customers to constantly buy reagents, unnecessarily. We are going to buy them, just make the experience easier and more pleasant, most importantly make it a certain and safe-feeling one.
Easy to use reagent By Batfish Aquatics on 7/14/2016Batfish Aquatics wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThese reagents are very reliable, and give great results. We use a scissor, cut a strip off the top, and then squeeze from the sides to form a low V, and pour it in without any issue. From experimentation, I can tell you that there's "enough" reagent in the packet that if you spill or lose a little bit, it makes no difference in the test. Test is more effected by timing.
A Reefer "Must Have" By Richard on 6/6/2016Richard would recommend this product to a friendI have three of the Hanna checkers: alkalinity, calcium, and phosphate. I love all three, just wish they had a nitrate tester to complete the set. The testers come with sufficient reagents to do 25 tests, so the replacement packs are essential. It took a while for me to figure out the best way to handle the reagent pack so that it was easy to use. What works best for me is to cut the pack just inside the printed dotted line, then use a pair of tweezers to open the pack sides to make a nice funnel for dumping the reagent into the curvet. BRS makes these replacement packs available at a good price. As the kids say, "The Hanna checkers RULE!"

Help! Fondant Condensation!! Delivering In 2 Hrs!!!!!!
Decorating By nicolesprinkle Updated 5 Apr 2009 , 2:16am by __Jamie__
I have a delivery in 2 hours! The customer wanted a filling that had to be refrigerated! I took it out and it has started sweating!!!!!! Can someone give me advice PLEASE?? Th cake is covered in MFF and i was told it was OK to refrigerate it!
I was under the impression refridgerating fondant was a no-no. I have heard of people wrapping it in saran and then defrosting it so the condensation is on the outside.
I would put it in front of a fan, if possible, to help the moisture evaporate. HTH
Can you make the transition to the warmer room a little gentler/slower? Maybe set the cake in a corrugated box because that provides a bit of insulation. Do you have a cooler room?
I have had this happen once but it was for a family cake. It does stop.
It is scary. It's gonna be ok.
Try to appear to take it in stride in front of the customer and just say, "Oh it happens, and it will dry off."
Or if it has slown down--just don't mention it. It happens. It's ok.
Thank You! I think I just freaked out!
It will be ok... Just don't touch
Leave it alone! It will be ok, dn't mop at it, don't wipe it, don't do nuttin. Take a breath!

The Internet is among the most effective and newest tools you can use http://www.pushmoneyapps.com/codefibo-review-is-it-a-scam-or-is-it-worth-investing/ to market your services or products. No matter what you are attempting to market, there are a couple of basic tricks of the trade you can learn to help you become an online marketing master.
Matthew Lewis Anticipate the needs of your audience. Consider why individuals are visiting your website and the products that they need and are looking for. Don't place any off topic ads. If the ads on your website are relevant to what your visitors are looking for, then you will much more successful and make more sales.
When using signatures, they should be linked to your email or website. They should be included on the bottom of each forum or message board posting that you do. Make sure that your email communications all have a link to your signature in them. This way you can generate more awareness for your website among your contacts and potentially boost your rankings in the search engines as well. Create an enticing signature that encourages people to click on your link.
An effective title should define your content and business properly. codefibo tags on every page play a significant role within the search engines, and visitors can also see them. If you have confusing information, say the wrong thing, or simply don't target the right audience for your messages can all determine whether or not prospective customers stay on your website.
Don't worry about percentages all the time. The products you will have various price point, meaning how much money you earn from them is going to also vary widely. Don't get too frustrated over the math. Just look at what the http://www.pushmoneyapps.com/codefibo-review-is-it-a-scam-or-is-it-worth-investing/ base prices are for your top selling products, and then determine the amount you would like to earn from them to calculate what your average commission will be.
Make sure your customers will want to return to make purchases in the future by just offering quality products to them. Speak with individuals who already own the products, or purchase them yourself to try out. Recommendations that are sincere will make a great impression and keep customers returning and making future purchases.
Build a sitemap linking to each part of your site. Make sure that your sitemap is updated each time there are changes made to your website. Search engines check these maps frequently in order to find out what has been added recently. That brings addition traffic to your web pages since it makes it easy for the search engines to crawl through your website and get them added to their search results.
Throughout the day you should always carry a notebook and pen with you. You never know when a new idea might pop into your head. When one does, write it down right away to maximize its potential As soon as you can, implement your idea on your codefibo website in order to put it in motion.
Build relationships with Matthew Lewis members of the media who cover your industry. Print and web journalists alike are always searching for new story angles and people to interview. When these moments occur you want to be in the forefronts of their minds. Even a simple quote occurring in an article online can bring significant amounts of traffic to your website.
Immediately following a sale, you should follow-up with your customer, and then every couple of weeks after that. If you sent out "thank you for your order" emails to customers, in addition to including advertisements for other services or products you sell, this can help to increase the number of new and repeat orders you get from your customers.
In customer packages, try to send some promotional freebies as well. Your company's contact information should be printed o them. These kind of items include things such as pens, pencils, t-shirts, ball caps, stickers, bumper stickers and other types of printable items. You might even try putting sample products in your customers' packages for them to try out.
If you decide to open a Twitter account to help with your internet codefibo marketing campaigns, be sure to completely fill out your profile. Make sure all of your potential followers know who you are as well as what you do. Sneaky marketing is not effective at all, so be sure to be upfront with people and make sure your profile is completely filled out.
Internet marketing is a lot like investing in stocks instead of playing the lottery. What that means is although plenty of luck is involved, your skills are very important still when it comes to making the best decisions. Before spending lots of money on something risky, be sure you really know what you're doing first.
Using the word fast within your marketing materials can help to motivate people to head over to your order pages. All internet marketers must now use the codefibo psychology of marketing. When you use the word fast within your
ad copy, people get excited. The more excited people get, the more orders you'll receive.
As mentioned previously, the Internet is a very good tool to use in your marketing efforts. It provides you with access to a massive worldwide market that is full of opportunities. Taking the time to learn a couple of basic but highly effective tips can help you become profitable twice as fast.

We The Free
Perfectly distressed, all-American styles. We The Free is an exclusive, in-house label.
Fell apart really quickly
I purchased two of these shirts (in the orange and the blue). Within two months of buying them the cuffs were unraveling and there were several "runs" in the body of the shirt. I would never buy these shirts again - the were not well made at all.
Hey FreePeopleAML, We're so sorry to hear about this! Someone from our team will be reaching out to you. -Free People
Love/Hate relationship
I looked at this top for quite a while and read all the reviews before purchasing. I fell in Love the minute I opened the delivery package but immediately changed my mind after trying on. The style is adorable, however the material is very thin, and hangs extremely low in the front. Sadly, ou Love relationship had ended and this top will be returned. r
Picture of this shirt looks so cute and I took advice from others about ordering small when I'm a medium. It fit okay for a small but the front drops Way down so I did not feel comfortable showing off like that ha! and wearing a tank under just wouldn't look right. Feels like very light weight material which I didn't quite like either. So bummed cuz the model makes it look so cute, I'm returning it sadly.
Falls Apart Quickly
I bought his about a month ago and I love it, but holes developed in the material after I washed it about 3 times. It's one of those wear around the house shirts now unfortunately.
Hey missmara19, We're so sorry to hear about this! Someone from our team will be reaching out to you. -Free People
very cool tshirt
I bought this top in a medium. I usually wear a large. I should have gotten the small. It is really large. I hope that when I wash it it will shrink a bit. Love the fabric and the style. A bit pricey ! But it is very cool !B
Cute styling, thin fabric
I love the look and have been wearing this every chance I get. It is quite roomy (I ordered a medium where I usually get a large) and the fabric does seem flimsy, so I'm just taking good care of it and hoping to get as much wear out of it as I can.
Very much wanted, but probably wrong with the size
For the first time I did not really like the purchase, I fell in love with the photo on the model, but it looks completely different from me, I always buy m, but it turned out to be very wide, and a thin fabric And still the sleeves are very wide and different in width, one is the second wider, very sorry,.. Advice-buy less on the size, if you want that would be cool as in the photo ,,
Pretty but flimsy
This is a very lovely top, loose and very soft. The color is amazing. This could be my favorite top if I wasn't afraid it would fall apart. After the first time I wore it I noticed a hole had developed on the wrist part of the sleeve. I'm very careful with my clothing so it's nothing I did wrong. This top now just hangs on my clothing rack looking pretty.
Hi fluttertrill, I'm so sorry to hear about your experience with this tee! Someone from our team will be in touch with you! -Free People
Love the tomboy/cute look!
Such a cute top. Was on the fence for quite awhile about it and so glad I finally tried! I always wanted this style but they always had tight crew necks and I don't like that feeling and a bit too masculine for me. This was perfect. I sized down to a small to get the neck line a bit higher and the arms a bit tighter. I am usually right between a small and a medium so depending on the cut I have to decide which way to go. It is wide in either size so that wasn't an issue. The material is very soft and comfy. Bought 4 of the 5 colors. The only thing I would have changed is it to be 100% cotton. Love the look, just throw on and go with skinny pants or shorts and a necklace!

This week's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun Challenge from Randy Seaver over at
Genea-Musings was an interesting one, Where Were They in 1909? :
1) Which of your ancestors were alive in 1909?
2) Tell us where your ancestral families were living in 1909. What country, state,
county, city/town, etc. Who was in the family at the time? Use the 1910 census as
"close enough."
3) Have you found each of these families in the 1910 census?
4) Write a blog post about your response. Or write a comment to this post.
5) Have fun. Learn something!
Alright then, I did use the 1910 census for my information. I've divided it up into
two sections. Ages and maiden names are in parentheses:
My Mom's Family
Great-Grandparents Edward J. White (35) and his wife Pauline (Offlincher)White(35)
were living at 218 Florence St in the Roslindale section of Boston, Suffolk Co., Ma. Edward's
occupation was Teamster for Wholesale Flour. They had eight children ranging in age from
12 years old to 9 months old, among whom was my grandfather Edward F. White, age 10
years old.
Great-Grandparents John McFarland(56) and wife Annie(Kelley) McFarland(50) lived at
950 Parker St in the Jamaica Plain section of Boston, Suffolk Co., Ma. with their 8 children,
ranging from age 23 to age 6. Among these was my grandmother Agnes McFarland, age
11. John's occupation was given as a Laborer for the street Dept.
I have no knowledge of any other maternal ancestors living in 1909.
My Dad's Family.
Great-grandfather Philip J. West(40) was living with his second wife, Alphonsene (Turgeon)
West(30) in Upton, Oxford Co., Me. Living with them was Philip's 18 year old son,
my grandfather, Floyd E. West Sr. Philip's occupation was given as a Farmer.
Great-grandfather Frank W. Barker was deceased and I haven't found any record of the
location of great-grandmother Charlotte L (Barker) Barker. She would have been 30 years
old in 1909-10. and I believe she lived until 1944. Her maiden name was the same as her married name because she and Frank were first cousins. Their daughter, my grandmother
Cora B. Barker would have been 10 years old and I believe her to be the 10 year old Cora
B. Barker listed as a Boarder with Olis W. Brooks and his wife Cora in Grafton, Oxford, Me.
Great-great grandparents Jonathan Phelps West(78) and Louisa (Richardson) West(72)
were lving in Upton, Oxford Co., Me.
Great-great grandparents Asa F. Ellingwood(80) and Florilla (Dunham) Ellingwood
(78) were living with their son Joseph Ellingwood's family in Hebron, Oxford Co., Me,
So now I have a mystery: Where was Charlotte Lovenia Barker in 1909? Was she
simply missed in the census or her name mispelled? Was she someplace outside of
Maine trying to make a living? Her husband Frank had died in 1905 leaving her
with 6 year old Cora and 2 year old Henry to raise. Is that why Cora is a boarder
with the Brooks family, if indeed is my grandmother living with them. Is there a
connection with Cora Brooks?

Had a lovely stay, so much history
This house was really lovely, we stayed 7 of us for my dads 70th inc my 6 month old daughter. The house was really well equipped with highchair, toys, pushchair, outdoor furniture, washing machine etc. The kitchen was big and well equipped. The bedrooms were well kept and clean. The house is very old with beams, stone walls and creaky floorboards, but we all liked the character and was a lovely short walk to town, which was really handy. Only thing to point out is there is only one shower cubicle in the main bedroom ensuite, which also has a separate bath. The main bathroom has a showerhead over the bath. The garden was also lovely to enjoy as we had amazing weather.
The location is perfect and the house has more history than you could believe. Starre House is a gem.
Mrs Tyson
Highly recommended - expectations met in full
Our experience of Starre House was overwhelmingly positive. It was very well presented and cleaned, with no mice! The property is large and spacious with a variety of comfortable furniture, although we believe that a new bed and mattresss in the master bedroom, and the conversion of the bath in the second bathroom to a stand-up shower (even if only through the provision of a shower stand and curtain), would be very worthwhile investments. The quality, location and history of this property makes it an outstanding holiday home - highly recommended.
A lovely old house with plenty of space for a family of 10. It is very close to the shops and Beer beach. It had a large garden with areas to sit and where children could play.
Mrs Screen
Starre House is a beautiful house, set in a fantastic location, lots of quirky features.

I often wonder waht makes someone decide to become an IT person. Generally speaking, any IT person be it the systems admin or the helpdesk tech. Was it a decision made by you? Where you thrown into it because you were the guy who knew computers?

My original career plans were to go into radio broadcasting after college, I had worked in radio in high school and loved it. I was also going to get married right after graduation and realized that the jobs and income were not there in radio to support a family. I had some friends who worked on a helpdesk and got me a job. Turned out I really enjoyed IT as well and I changed my career goals. I never did end up getting married, but I still pursued the career.
Jan 27, 2010 at 10:28 UTC
It started out as a hobby before college, [purchasing/tinkering] turned into an addiction in college, and now I get paid to do it all.
IT was my fallback career after I couldn't find a job teaching music. The market is too competitive and more and more schools around here are being forced to concentrate on math, science, etc. and music is being cut.
Jan 27, 2010 at 10:35 UTC
I was into computers and electronics as a kid, then had moved on to other things by college. Took a business major. The only thing interesting in the business world for me once I started working, was computers. So...ended up in IT. Like many, I took no computer classes in university, unless you want to count Word Perfect and Lotus. :)

I was a travel agent who 1) loved computers and 2) hated customers. At that time (early 80s) the travel industry was moving forward with technology at a pretty good clip and the agencies all needed someone to handle the changes for them. I started doing that while also dealing with customers.
It was pretty dreary and I probably would have dropped it but the tech vendors (at the time run by the airlines - in our case American) started pushing agencies to get this thing they were calling "an IT person". It took some work but they finally bit around 1986.

I think I'm doing it wrong. Is your company hiring?
Jan 27, 2010 at 11:36 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Starting playing with a CBM SuperPET in 1979 and fell in love with computers. Never really wanted to do anything else. Started programming at home in 1985, did a proof of concept database front end for Kodak in 1989. But I was too young to really get into IT, you couldn't really do that as a kid back then like you can today. You needed resources that weren't cheap.
In 1994 when I went to university out in Flint, MI I took a Fortran programming class as an incoming freshmen. The prof handed out the syllabus and the text books and I had nothing better to do the next day so I read the book on Fortran and did all of the homework assignments and the final project and came to the second day of class with everything completed.
The professor was like "what's this?" I said "It's all the homework and projects, I'm done, do I have to come back to class?"
He looked at the work I did and looked at me and said "Do you want a job?" And the rest is history. I started teaching Fortran and C in the labs and was almost immediately promoted to UNIX Support as well. I had a pascal tutor reporting to me and I was eventually given responsibility over the computer integrated manufacturing labs as well. It was an awesome career kickstart - I was a UNIX Desktop Support tech with zero real experience just two weeks after high school graduation at age 18 (I started college in the summer rather than taking the summer off and starting in the fall.)

Kind of by accident, though in retrospect, I'm not suprised I did. I took my degree in AstroPhysics possibly the most useless thing to get a degree in with the exception of art appreciation and Englist Lit). I had built my first computer back in 69, and of course was highly interested in the field, I studied programming in college, played with the old TS1000, and used computers as a cop to map and track crinminal activities. I really got into IT when I left the Military, and worked for FEMA, and began using machines to help manage disaster and emergency situations. learned a lot there, developed a lot, and when the governemetn cut funding, and I found myself among the ranks of gainfully unemployed, I hung out my shingle, began fixing computers, building networks, and then helped build a small Mom and Pop internet company. By that time I was hooked, and, well here we are!

Back in '79, I didn't think computing would take off. Computing became a hobby.
1983, and the school starts to do computer studies, but too late for me since I was about to move upto Sixth Form College.
During the 2 years at college, I decided to study Mechanical & Production Engineering at Plymouth Polytechnic. During that time, I became involved in Student Union TV, and tried to get a job at the BBC as a cameraman (Cine & video photography was another of my hobbies).
It took a few months to find a job after leaving Poly, and that was only as a humble and lowly paid draughtsman. After a few months I had the opportunity to go back to college for 3 months for a Management course. I was selected due to my interest in computing, and after the sandwich course, I was offered full time employment by the sponsoring company, to look after their computers. I stayed there 7 years before moving to my current employer of 15 years.
Jan 28, 2010 at 6:04 UTC
I went into I.T. as an alternative to be honest, my original career path was Engineering. However, I found that I had zero aptitude for machining tools or heavy machinery so I decided to look at computing instead which I enjoyed messing around with.
Jan 28, 2010 at 6:31 UTC
The IT manager needed someone, so I moved department, and haven't looked back since.
Jan 28, 2010 at 6:35 UTC
Can't say it was a conscious decision, got in to computers when i was about 10, thanks to my dad who bout a commodore 64, learned to progam basic on that.
School at the time didn't teach computing, so the first formal training i had was a uni course when i was 17.
Just seemed a natural progression from a childhood interest in to a career.
Jan 28, 2010 at 8:13 UTC
I started back in 83 @ home with the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Eventually I got a job repairing office equipment back in 86. This eventually moved onto PC's (as typewriters became more and more obsolete). I have never looked back since!
Jan 28, 2010 at 8:30 UTC
I was a band director in a small school and required to teach extra subjects to fill the day- phys ed, math, history, and finally computers and GT students. Helped my wife with an accounting side job where she was doing spreadsheets by ledger and told her about Lotus 123 and how it would make it easier, and she told me to go buy it. Researched and became an "expert" consultant on the side, and my school finally pushed me out of band into teaching computer full-time and managing the school's network. Have tried to be b"leading edge" ever since because I am not content unless at the top of the hill.
Still have my Commodore 64 Repair Technician certificate somewhere.
Jan 28, 2010 at 9:08 UTC
I've been using computers every since I was little. I had a game called the Magic Tree HOuse or something like that. I would watch my dad and I've just always been fascinated with them.
Jan 28, 2010 at 9:14 UTC
IT Journey, LLC is an IT service provider.
I'm with Compton. I did it for the ladies. just kidding.
I went into IT since that is what I grew up watching my Dad do, and IT just makes sense to me (for the most part).
Jan 28, 2010 at 9:14 UTC
I started as a mechanic, received my first year apprenticeship but I didn't like getting dirty so I figured the transition to IT was the best move. Not to mention it was easier to find work in IT than working on cars.
Jan 28, 2010 at 9:18 UTC
For me, I thought that this cutting-edge, high-tech field would be the way to score a huge paycheck, drive a sportscar and date a hot blonde. Maybe get a cushy office job where I wouldn't have to bust my tail so hard.
Wish someone would have told me a good night was staying up late and being rewarded with a free, company-paid pizza...
Jan 28, 2010 at 9:23 UTC
It was sort of by accident... I was studying EE and in my second year I had to take two computer courses as electives and found that I enjoyed it a lot more than EE. So I switched majors from BSEE to BSCS which meant I needed a total of 156 credits to get my degree instead of 128. The extra semester was worth it though, and I have no regrets.
Jan 28, 2010 at 10:13 UTC
That is awesome! If you find it, scan it in so we can see it.
Still have my Commodore 64 Repair Technician certificate somewhere.
Jan 28, 2010 at 11:20 UTC
I started with my fathers Sinclair ZX81 in... '81! He left me in the hobby room for a little too long and I had a screwdriver - had to figure out how the little frog on the screen knew what buttons I was pushing on the keyboard and how he fit on the little cassette tape with the funny noises... Wound up with a lot of spare parts that wouldn't fit back into the cases.
I have been through multiple Vic 20's, Commodores (64's & 128's), Atari's, Tandy's, an Amiga 1000 and a few 8086's before I got married.
High school had the first color macintoshes at the time, and me and a friend were notorious about getting them to do things that no one else even dreamed about (storing files on the teachers computers, modifying other peoples desktops from our terminals, printing the collective works of Shakespeare to the only laser printer with another students network ID, etc.)
Bought my first PC while on the honeymoon (that went over like a lead balloon) and have tinkered until about 8 years ago. I've always had a 'knack' for all things electric and electronic, so this was pretty much a natural career choice for me. I love it and my computers love me...
Jan 28, 2010 at 4:33 UTC
I was in between jobs and a friend was working in IT operations so I asked for a job and got it, worked on ICL 1906's early PDP's and VAX 11/750's. Thirty years later I am still in IT and still find it interesting.
Jan 29, 2010 at 8:44 UTC
I know and work with a ton of IT guys and gals. They all have two things in common. 1) they love the challenge of figuring out how to do stuff and 2) they like helping people (you may not beleive it, but deep down its true. They like to be needed and they like to provide service).

NLRB Continues to Make Non-Union Employers Nervous
Last month, the National Labor Relations Board issued two more significant decisions reminding employers – unionized and non-unionized alike – that they may indirectly be subject to the National Labor Relations Act in ways previously unrealized. They did so by making it more difficult for employers using contracted staff or buying the assets of unionized employers to avoid either an obligation to bargain with unions representing the staffing company or predecessor's employees, or even being locked into the terms unions may have had with those employers upon buying the assets of another employer.

From Megasthenes to Mark Twain, Alberuni to Orwell, visitors from antiquity to the modern times have interpreted India to the world. In time, Indians themselves have sought in the works of these writers a picture of their past. Two recent books by foreign correspondents in India worthily carry forward this rich tradition. Edward Luce's In Spite of the Gods, published last year, supplied in lucid, muscular prose a magisterial analysis of the Indian state, economy and foreign relations since Independence. Luce's book is complemented perfectly by Australian journalist Christopher Kremmer's Inhaling the Mahatma, which, although covering some of the same territory as Luce's, is in spirit a wholly different work.
More personal and lyrical than Luce, roving widely and sympathetically among both high and low, and providing superb eyewitness accounts of key events of our recent history, Kremmer tells a double story: of watching a country change, and of being reshaped himself in the deepest ways. Kremmer served two stints in India during the 1990s, and closely saw many of its most tumultuous happenings.
Following Rajiv Gandhi on the campaign trail in Uttar Pradesh in 1991, he spoke with the former prime minister, confident of a second term in office, only a few days before he was assassinated. Thirteen years later, accompanying the newly elected MP, Rahul Gandhi, on a tour of his constituency, he notes the uncanny similarities between son and father, and the unquestioning, even comical, devotion the Gandhi name inspires among the masses. "On one occasion, a knot of elderly women mistook me for Rahul," writes Kremmer, "and had to be prised off my feet before falling at his."
Kremmer was also present when the Babri Masjid went down in 1992. His account records the pandemonium of "thousands of kar sevaks teeming over the crumbling structure like ants on an anthill" and his own scramble for safety, but it goes much further than that.
The heart of Kremmer's book is a meditation on Ayodhya leading out in several directions: on the meaning of the Ramayana in Indian life, on how faith can shade into religious chauvinism, on the politics of India's past and the divisive "history wars" of the 1990s. ("History wars," he notes sensibly, "are civil wars without the gunpowder.") His must be one of the fullest accounts of the repercussions on Indian life of the events of 6 December 1992. To a journalist's nose for a good story—the title of his book turns out not to be a metaphor for his Indian experience, but a case of quite literally "inhaling the Mahatma"—Kremmer adds a practised eye for detail (he has previously written two travel books, on Afghanistan and Laos) and a novelist's love for the riches of language.
Returning to New Delhi after six years, he finds that "the staid, bureaucratic capital wasn't just growing, it was proliferating, throwing off far-flung suburbs like sparks from a Catherine wheel." On the banks of the Ganga in Varanasi, "dhobis slap wet laundry not far from cadavers roasting on pyres, life's drudgery and death's drama played out on a common stage." Investigating the problem of legal pendency, Kremmer arrives in Allahabad, where more court cases are filed than in any other Indian city, to find that the oldest case being tried dates back to 1965. An official confides that "slowly we are moving forward to the present."
As with the incident in which he finds himself breathing in the Mahatma's ashes, the real flows naturally into the surreal. Travelling and observing, and changing from "New Delhi expat to old Delhi local" after marrying an Indian girl, Kremmer finds himself being infiltrated by the ways of his adopted country. "Small superstitions or words, particular festivals and customs, had permeated my being as if by osmosis," he recounts. Pestered with the standard Indian question about why he has no children, he learns to say "Bhagwan ki merzi hai" (It's the will of god) while "glancing skywards with a resigned expression."
"Barriers were falling away," writes Kremmer towards the close, "and I experienced a feeling of being at home in India, taking pleasure in what is, rather than fussing constantly over what it should be."
Inhaling deeply of much more than just the Mahatma, Kremmer has exhaled an account of India of almost unmatched richness and subtlety.
