Ignore the hair, people. It's been a rough week!
Seriously, I tried to fancy up my hair, I really did. After being sick for the last few days, my flat, lifeless hair really started to perk up when I curled it with the flat iron. It just didn't perk in the right way.
I am quite pleased, however, that I managed to curl my entire head while simultaneously having a phone conversation with my husband. I'm pretty sure he had no idea what I was up to.
Anyway, the hair is a dud but I'm really liking the bright pop of color on my eyes.
I intended to make this a mostly gold look (at the request of several readers), but after being sick for three days I definitely needed more color.
CHANEL Quadra Eye Shadow in Bird of Paradise
This eyeshadow quad from the CHANEL holiday collection is light and pretty. I love the pastel shades and wanted to create my look around these shadows. I covered my entire lid with the pale gold shade and then added the turquoise hue from my lash line to the crease. The shimmery shades are so beautiful and sheer.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Deviant
Ask any beauty junkie about this pencil and I guarantee she has it in her makeup bag! I'm not even kidding that this bright blue eyeliner will make any pair of eyes look better, no matter what their color. Run this waterproof liner along the inner rim of your lower lashes for eye-popping color.
MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow in Outspoken
This limited-edition shadow is no longer available but I'm in love with the purple shade on the right (shown above). I used this along my lash line to really make the bright blue liner and turquoise shadow stand out.
CHANEL Shimmering Tweed Highlighter
This highlighting powder from the CHANEL Holiday 2009 collection is so pretty I hate to even use it! The warm gold, bronze and copper shades add dimension and light to any skin tone.
On my lips I'm wearing CHANEL Aqualumière lip gloss in Canari (again!) as I'm thoroughly obsessed.
Bree's Look, Day 5:
Bree opted for her signature smoky-eyed look for today's feature. I have to admit, smoked out eyes look great on her and she knows the routine so well she can whip this look out in five minutes flat.
CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlast in Silver Sky ($8.49)
This new offering from CoverGirl takes the guess-work out of creating smoky eyes. Bree used the lighter shade as a creamy base color and layered with other shadow, but this is easily a stand-alone eye product.
Napoleon Perdis Party Set Palette ($32)
Eighteen eye shadows, four blushes and four lip glossed make up this Napoleon Perdis Party Set Palette. The outside case is covered in sequin making it feel like the perfect party accessory. Bree used the two darkest shades in the palette (gray and black with gold flecks) to finish off her smoky eyes. She added a hint of the lightest blush and lipgloss shades to complete her holiday look.
Bailey's Look, Day 5:
Bailey managed to get her gold look spot-on with gilded eyes and pinky cheeks and lips.
Lancôme Color Design Eye Shadow Quad in Showstopper Style ($42)
Using the two lightest shades in this Lancôme eyeshadow quad, Bailey created a light and pretty look that she finished off with dramatic eyelashes.
Revlon Fantasy Lengths Lashes in Lush ($6.50)
I love that these lashes are the exact replica of my favorite shu uemura Partial Soft Cross Lashes at one third of the price! The sections make them super easy to apply and very realistic-looking.
U by Ungaro Face Powder in Runway Pink ($20)
I seriously love what Avon has been up to these days. From Reese Witherspoon to Lauren Conrad to, now, Ungaro—Avon continues to be ahead of the game! This fabulous face powder in Runway Pink is two-toned, allowing for selective coverage. Or, as Bailey did, you can swirl your brush over both colors and get a pretty pink glow.
NYX Goddess of the Night Lipgloss in Perfect ($5)
It's funny how we have several dozen holiday lipsticks and glosses to choose from for these holiday looks, but we all keep grabbing for this sheer pink NYX gloss!

Subban nets apologies after 'dark guy in the middle' photo caption
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Wednesday, September 24, 2014 9:05AM EDT
Last Updated Wednesday, September 24, 2014 11:42AM EDT
Two Vancouver newspapers are apologizing to Canucks prospect Jordan Subban, after a photo was published to their websites describing him as the "dark guy in the middle."
Both The Vancouver Sun and The Province used the same caption to accompany a photo of Subban taken Tuesday at a pre-season matchup between the Canucks and the San Jose Sharks in Vancouver.
In the photo, Subban is surrounded by several of his teammates. A caption accompanying the photo reads: "Vancouver Canucks celebrate goal by Jordan Subban (dark guy in the middle) against San Jose Sharks in NHL pre season game at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, B.C., on September 23, 2014."
Oh c'mon Vancouver Sun. RT @GregBallochST: That picture is legit. Wow @VancouverSun... What are you thinking? pic.twitter.com/p1Bjb0LmGj
— Andrew Berkshire (@AndrewBerkshire) September 24, 2014
In tweets sent Wednesday morning, both papers apologized to Subban, and said they were investigating the incident to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Last night we ran a photo caption that should never have been written, let alone run online. We apologize to @jordansubban. (1/2)
— The Vancouver Sun (@VancouverSun) September 24, 2014
The Sun is looking into this so we can make sure it doesn't happen again. (2/2)
— The Vancouver Sun (@VancouverSun) September 24, 2014
The Province regrets an insensitive description of Canuck Jordan Subban in a photo caption on our website last night. 1/2
— The Province (@theprovince) September 24, 2014
We apologize to Subban, the Canucks and their fans for any offence. We are examining our process to ensure it can never happen again. 2/2
— The Province (@theprovince) September 24, 2014
Earlier, Gillian Burnett, The Vancouver Sun's digital deputy editor, also explained on Twitter that the caption was written by a photographer and should not have been written or published.
The caption has since been removed.
When the photo was first published, Angry fans were among the first to call out the papers on social media.
Vancouver Sun and Province run same caption of Jordan Subban: "dark guy in the middle." Says a lot about moral compass of sports media here.

This remains the only way to figure out that something is wrong. A close
look at the href and the url displayed in the e-mail will reveal
phishing to a trained eye even if it uses XSS. This, still, is not a
foolproof way, if the e-mail looks like "click here"(where click here is
a link).

About 40% of a country's population misspells words. This is not
something to direct your attention on.

Depends on the site that is sending the e-mail. There is more than one
site that will use "dear customer" or "dear member" instead of
addressing you by name.

The bottom line is this. There is no way to tell if an e-mail is what it
pretends to be by simply looking at one e-mail received from that
source. The most common way to spot phishing attacks is by knowing the
normal format of the e-mails sent by a certain site. The point is to
train your users to do things like:
- not click on an url directing them to a login page; instead, tell them
to log in by normal site access via internet explorer
- use common sense; do not give away your atm pin number when the first
guideline in any bank that will give you a credit/debit card is to tell
you that you must NOT give away your pin number even to employees of
that bank. Explain to your users that the data stored on servers of the
firm/institution they are accessing online does not require them to
validate data using their personal information. If the site they are
accessing really is that stupid/careless to shred their personal data
from their servers then it is probably not a very good idea to sign up
with them in the first place. If they receive an email telling people
that they should do this and that, things that they are feeling
uncomfortable with, they should first call the support staff at that
site via an authenticated phone line.
The attacks presented as phishing will continue and will get more and
more advanced as the most weak layer in protection remains the human
being. As Kevin Mitnick puts it: once you get a user to divulge
information, however insignificant it may be, the game is over.

Three in Death
by J.D. Robb
Review by Paul Haggerty
Berkley Paperback ISBN/ITEM#: 9780425219713
Date: 29 January 2008 List Price $7.99 Amazon US / Amazon UK / Show Official Info /
Three in Death brings together three shorter works featuring Lieutenant Eve Dallas, darting back and forth across several years of Dallas' career. From Roarke and Dallas' first Christmas together in "Midnight in Death" to Eve trying to survive a mandatory trip to Roarke's City-in-the-Sky, Olympus Resort, in "Interlude in Death", dead bodies just have a way of turning up. And when they do, Dallas will stop at nothing to bring their killers to justice, no matter who they may be or how long ago the murder took place. Two of the three stories that make up Three in Death have a few interesting details outside of the stories themselves. "Interlude in Death" was made into a jigsaw puzzle and "Midnight in Death" was later expanded and rewritten as Creation in Death.
"Interlude in Death" takes place onboard Roarke's Olympus Resort, where Eve has been sent to give a talk at a police conference. Well known for her reluctance to leave the Earth's atmosphere, Eve is downright cranky at having been ordered to attend. Of course, no matter how bad things appear to be, they can always get worse, as when Commander Douglas R. Skinner, legend among law enforcement, informs her he's going to take Roarke down no matter what, and if Eve doesn't help him, he'll make sure she goes down right alongside him. Eve doesn't react well to threats, and especially not when bodies start showing up, bodies which someone is trying to pin on Roarke.
"Midnight in Death" stars the return of a serial killer Dallas put away years ago. Crazy as a loon he may have been, but that doesn't make him stupid. When the chance comes to break out of prison, Dave Palmer heads straight back to New York to take up his old experiments, the culmination of which will be the long, slow, and painful death of Eve Dallas. Eve needs to figure out Dave's latest game before too many innocent people get carried out of his laboratory of pain, feet first.
"Haunted in Death" matches up the recent death of Radcliffe C. Hopkins III with an 85-year-old body found in a walled-off room upstairs. To make the match better, Radcliffe was offed with the same revolver, apparently stored with the corpse upstairs. But who knew she was there to begin with, and what connection is there between her and Radcliffe, who wasn't even born when the first murder occurred? There's plenty to puzzle out, which makes the ghost haunting the place all that more annoying, especially since Eve doesn't believe in the paranormal.
If you haven't read the Eve Dallas books, these stories might be a bit confusing since they tend to jump around over the course of several years of the series. But they give a good taste of the universe, characters, and relationships that make the In Death books what they are.

Eccentric Entrepreneurs: The Business of Book Launches with Brandy Williams and LaSara Firefox Allen Eccentric Entrepreneurs: The Business of Reiki with Izzy Swanson Book Review: The Business of Wanting More by Brian Gast In this book, the author explores how apparently successful people can sabotage themselves because they haven't dealt with their internal issues. He does a good job of illustrating how a person can sabotage themselves as well as providing exercises for how to work through your internal issues. He makes some important points about success vs fulfillment and why its important to not get caught up in the trappings of success, without really checking in if you are fulfilled. I'd recommend this book to any business owner as a way of doing an internal inventory of your own success and any potential sabotages that may come up and be ignored.

Welcome Eccentric Successors, This is your resource page for August 2016. The topic of the month is: How to Grow your email list. In my opinion email lists are underused as a form of marketing. What's important to remember is that email is NOT on the way out. It's a viable platform for marketing your business, particularly when combined with other forms of marketing. This month our format is a little different from the previous month. Instead of having one webinar, a guest speaker, and a Q and A session, we will have 3 webinars. Each webinar will be on a specific subtopic. The reason I'm doing the webinars is because it is easier to show you, so I suggest if possible joining the webinars via your computer so I can share my screen with you.

Did you miss an episode of Eccentric Entrepreneurs in July? Here are the links to the episodes. Eccentric Entrepreneurs: Money and Business with Kevin Minkoff Eccentric Entrepreneurs: The Business of Art with Cate Anevski Book Review: The Art of Asking by Amanda Palmer A friend of mine gave me this book and despite the fact that I was already reading 8 books at the time, I cracked the cover that night and started reading. And I was hooked, both by Amanda's story and what the book is really about: How to ask, how to give, and how to receive. There were times I read this book and felt really moved to tears, times I felt emotions come up where I needed to explore why I felt so resistant to trusting, giving, or asking. This book gave me a ton to think about and work through, in a good way. There are lessons here I'll revisit, and work into my business and life. If you don't read anything else this year, do yourself a favor and read this book. Book Review: Ensouling Language by Stephen Buhner If you're a writer of nonfiction or fiction, Ensouling Language is an essential must read book on the art of writing. While the author's focus is on non-fiction, the insights he shares can be applied to fiction. As I read this book and tried the exercises, it really helped me look at my writing from a different, deeper perspective. I started focusing on the spirit of the writing, the rhythm of the words and punctuation of the writing, and the intangible experience that could occur in writing if one is willing to trust the writing and let it happen. I can't recommend this book enough to my fellow writers or anyone interested in language and how to work with...Read More

March 2, 2007—The rare birth of a baby mountain gorilla is
giving African wildlife workers a reason to celebrate.
Named Ndeze, the infant was born on February 17 in Virunga National Park in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where rebel forces have recently been accused of slaughtering and eating the critically endangered great apes.
Ndeze brings his family group up to 12 members, said WildlifeDirect, the African conservation nonprofit that yesterday announced the new arrival. Another female in the group is expected to give birth in coming weeks.
Park rangers chose the name in honor of Rene Ndeze, a powerful local tribal chief who died two days before the newborn was discovered, even though the baby's sex isn't yet known.
The good news is tempered by memories of recent disaster, however. In January the dismembered remains of two adult male gorillas were discovered in the same area of Virunga National Park after armed rebels invaded. Rangers fear that four additional missing gorillas were also shot and eaten.
The rebels, led by renegade Congolese general Laurent Nkunda, later agreed to end the slaughter during talks with park rangers mediated by the United Nations and the DRC army.
Only around 700 mountain gorillas remain worldwide. More than half live in the Virunga volcanic region shared by the DRC, Rwanda, and Uganda (see a map of the area).
Yet despite the threat from armed militias and poachers, conservation efforts in the region appear to be paying off, with estimated gorilla numbers up to around 380 today from 240 in the 1970s.
"The mountain gorillas have been under enormous pressure for many years, and a newborn is always a positive step toward protecting these animals," WildlifeDirect chairman Richard Leakey said in a statement. "We should not forget that this is the product of enormous effort and sacrifice on the part of African rangers, many of whom have paid the price of this success with their lives."
Paulin Ngobobo, senior warden in the southern sector of Virunga National Park, added: "The birth of Ndeze is a relief for us. It has been very difficult over recent months with the political instability and rebel attacks in this area, and the mountain gorillas have suffered. At last some hope on the horizon ..."

Sun coverage
- Republicans' Dream Act alternative won't have much chance to pass (11-28-2012)
- While waiting for work permits, young immigrants consider the future (10-24-2012)
- Young illegal immigrants may get driver's licenses (09-15-2012)
- Dream Act advocates in Las Vegas quickly strike against GOP proposal (03-30-2012)
- More immigration news
- More Hispanic community news
- More political news
Immigrants brought to the country illegally as children and granted a temporary reprieve by President Barack Obama this summer will be eligible for Nevada driver's licenses and state IDs, state officials told the Sun this week.
And Gov. Brian Sandoval supports the policy, he said in a statement.
That brought a sigh of relief from immigration advocates.
But at least one Republican lawmaker said the Nevada Legislature should weigh in on the question when it meets in early 2013.
By some estimates, Nevada is home to 20,000 young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children who qualify for the "deferred action for childhood arrivals" — a program informally known as Dream Act-lite after the broader legislation that has failed to pass Congress.
"These individuals will not be treated any differently under Nevada law than any other noncitizen applying for an identification card or driver's license," said Kevin Malone, a spokesman for the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles.
Whether to issue driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants is a traditionally controversial political hot button. But for the so-called Dreamers, it's a potentially life-changing issue.
Astrid Silva, an immigration advocate who was brought to Nevada illegally by her parents when she was 3 years old, said she and other undocumented immigrants have had to rely on friends, family and public transportation to get around Las Vegas — or risk it and drive illegally.
Silva, 24, applied for deferred action earlier this month.
"I'll be learning to drive soon," she said. "It's a huge deal."
Other states, such as Arizona and Nebraska, have maintained they will continue to deny illegal immigrants driver's licenses, even those who qualify for deferred action.
But Nevada officials said the state will honor the "employment authorization card," Malone said. That's a photo ID issued by the Department of Homeland Security to the deferred action applicants, according to immigration attorneys.
Those cards had been issued to other noncitizens in the country legally and have been accepted by the DMV since at least 1999, Malone said.
In a statement, Sandoval said he had no intention of changing that policy.
"As long as all of the DMV procedures are followed and other forms of identification are valid, I support this policy," he said.
Immigration experts had been unsure whether the Nevada DMV would accept the employment authorization cards issued to those who received deferred action.
"There is not a clear rule on it, and it could vary from office to office," said Angela Morrison, a visiting assistant professor at UNLV who had served as the legal director of the Nevada Immigrant Resource Project at the Boyd School of Law.
But not everyone believes issuing driver's licenses to Dreamers is a good idea.
Driver's licenses can be used for a wide range of purposes, including registering to vote, said Sen. James Settelmeyer, R-Minden.
"If any individual doesn't have full status, to me, they shouldn't have a full driver's license," Settelmeyer said. "A lot of facets need to be discussed at the Legislature. I, myself, do not prefer to see an agency head make a decision that has such large repercussions."

Today Google's Doodle was dedicated to Lola Mora, a Famous Argentinian sculptor. Lola Mora was born on 17th November on a lonely farm in Salta, Argentina. Her real name was Dolores Mora Vega. Though she came from humble beginnings, she was always fiery about feminism and women causes. She was also an inventor – though this is not a common knowledge – and she had a number of patents registered to her name among which one was about a system to project films and other systems for mining processes.
Today, she is well known as a revolutionary and a pioneer of women rights through her artistic projects. She started painting portraits when she was twenty years old. Though she was very good, she did not find painting fulfilling enough.
She learned sculpting marble and graphite and loved it. She always aimed for excellence in her work. She obtained a scholarship and studied, at her home province in Rome, Italy. That is where she created some of her most outstanding works. Some of her sculptures were commissioned by the Argentine Government.
Her technique and subjects were mostly controversial and rebellious and therefore were often in trouble with the authorities. For example, her sculpture, "The Nereids Fountain", which was created for the city of Bueno Aires had to be moved a number of times from one place to another because of red tape from Government.
Lola lived a rich life, doing what she loved to do. She give generously, talked her mind and upheld her views with convinction. She died on 7th June, 1936 in Buenos Aires. Her close friends burned Lola's letters mementos and personal diaries.
Her work is living on keeping her memory alive throughout the world:
– The Statue of Liberty in San Miguel de Tucumán;
– Four allegoric statues, named, "Peace", "Justice", "Liberty" and "Progress". These four statues were initially placed before the National Congress building but later were shifted to adorn the Government House of San Salvador de Jujuy;
– The Nereids Fountain in Buenos Aires;
– Monument To The Gaucho, Rosario.
In her honor, Google created a Doodle in her memory which is being displayed in Argentina for twenty four hours today i.e. her 145th birthday – the 17th of November.

Dave Binks, a headteacher you would happily call a leader, was one of the first principals I worked with. He gave me the space and time to enjoy my teaching, to innovate and explore the untrodden path. To take risks and to fail.
Many years later I moved on and became a deputy headteacher myself and I really struggled. I had some of the hardest most challenging times in my working life. I struggled to find that balance between management and teaching and was having to compromise the quality of what I was doing – just to get it done!
I didn't have access to the knowledge and ideas I needed in those moments when I needed it the most. How I wished I could have browsed Dave's brain.
A Lack of Knowledge Urgency
We have a lack of knowledge urgency in our profession – we don't feel the sting of wasted ideas or the importance of capturing and sharing our knowledge and experience, it simply is not in the front of our minds. There are over 430,000 teachers in the UK and in Australia just over 250,000 according to 2011 figures. But only a tiny fraction share ideas using Twitter.
On average in England over the last 25 years there have been around 15,000 teachers retiring from the profession every year. People like Dave who take their expertise and skill with them. That equates to nearly 525,000 years worth of teaching experience laying quiet and dormant on the back 9 of golf courses and between the aisles of garden centres. This saddens me.
This great body of latent knowledge going missing, but also the lack of urgency from current teachers to capture and share what they know. Let me give you an example of what I mean by knowledge urgency:
In 1972 the Imperial War Museum established the Department for Sound Records and began in earnest to archive and collate oral histories of those involved in conflicts and especially those involved in the First and Second world wars. It is a striking and extensive archive of over 56,000 hours worth of historical records. The urgency to capture this knowledge is clearly linked to the passing of the generations involved.
These pieces of knowledge are lengthy to produce and take time and deep thought to capture. Social technology has begun to reshape the timeframe needed to share our expertise all we need is a simple device and we can tweet and blog our experiences on the go.
Ross Selkirk Taylor was a British Army driver during the second world war and his pocket diary was his record of his experiences. Since then his grandson has begun tweeting his written diary entries, but in 1940 they were private to him and had no immediate impact on those around him. The postal service was often the sole means with which to share his experiences whilst away from home and that was heavily censored. The ranks of other army drivers could not learn from his published experiences and connect with him to learn. (Despite some hunting the original @DriverRoss account is no longer active.)
Twitter perfectly encapsulates the fragmentation of our knowledge and I think it has a direct impact on the frequency of sharing – the likelihood that people, teachers, openly share an idea or publish their thinking is increased if the scale is smaller.
Share What You Know
As teachers we need to be more open about our work and quickly realise that the whole profession can benefit from our collective expertise – we mustn't become silos of knowledge ourselves. Nor do we want our knowledge and experience, our stories and ideas to lie dormant, our knowledge needs to live on and impact those around us, to be contextual and be flexible enough to improve the lives of as many people we can.
The phrase "Pearls of wisdom" is often attributed to this poem by James Russell Lowell.
These pearls of thought in Persian gulfs were bred, Each softly lucent as a rounded moon; The diver Omar plucked them from their bed, Fitzgerald strung them on an English thread.
I love the delicate description of the pearls of thought – "softly lucent as a rounded moon" – we need to ensure we treasure the jewels of knowledge we have – and continue to pluck them from their seabed and do more to share them with other teachers, display and publish them, string them on threads, and help everyone bathe in their moonlit glow.

The discussion includes details about the scholarship which supported "Scotland's Books," a recently published book about the history of Scottish literature, and a forthcoming biography of Robert Burns. Also included is Robert's description of the importance of digitized archives as well as the pleasure of working with paper in archives such as that at St Andrews, with hundreds of years' worth of undigitized materila still to be charted.
In addition, Robert discusses the inspiration his poetry derives from new technologies, which is nonetheless inflicted by anxiety about the loss of democratic access to the works which form a common heritage, and the uncritical adoption of the virtual world in preference to a natural world which needs our urgent attention. He finishes by reading his recent poem, "The Digital Library, St Andrews."

Welcome to the forum. I'm a smidge older than you, not that I would ever admit that right? My husband and I have 3 beautiful daughters :eek::eek::eek:. What we ever did to deserve that, I do not know. We hail from across the pond in America. I've been to England several times, does that count? There are a number of people on this forum from England, you can always tell by their typing even if they haven't put it in their profile. Look for posts with no capital letters and BINGO! Brits.
haha yes i guess we give ourselves away with our typing, nice to meet you, don't get on line that often coz i have no computer at home, so come here to internet cafe to catch up every so often, came today because i wanted to log my weight loss which was a 1lb this week, but measured myself yesterday and found i have lost inches already and that feeling has lifted me right up there i am so pleased, hope you have a lovely weekend :D

There is a tendency to draw parallels between the current nanotechnology industry and the early days of the Internet, when the financial markets in general followed a blind pursuit of the latest dot-com initial public offering.
The final result was a top-heavy technology sector and Nasdaq Composite Index market bubble that left many investors holding pricey shares in companies that turned out to be more like concepts than actual businesses.
Although the cutting-edge nature and growing enthusiasm surrounding nanotechnology today might be starting on a path similar to that of the tech sector in the 1990s, the comparisons between the two ends there, according to Andrew Braswell, an equity analyst at Newbridge Securities Corp. in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
�Nobody is starting a nanotechnology business in their mother�s basement,� he said. �In the dot-com boom, there were a lot of business plans that attracted investors, but in the nanotechnology area, you need big money and real intellectual property.�
Mr. Braswell is the primary architect of the Newbridge Nanotechnology Index (NNIX), which was launched in June 2004.
The index, which doesn�t yet have a license agreement with any investible funds, comprises 24 companies with market capitalizations of between $100 million and $1.3 billion.The index is market capitalization weighted, limiting all weightings to a 10% maximum.
The key ingredient, according to Mr. Braswell, is the pure-play exposure to the nanotechnology market.
�We�re trying to stay as pure nanotech as possible, as opposed to including larger companies that might use nanotechnology or happen to be developing some nanotechnology,� he said.
The index includes Immunicon Corp. (IMMC), a Huntingdon Valley, Pa.-based developer of cell-based-diagnostic-cancer-research products, and Nanophase Technologies Corp. (NANX), a Romeoville, Ill.-based developer of nanocrystalline materials used in sunscreen and antimicrobial products.
An example of a company you won�t find in the index is General Motors Corp. (GM), even though the Detroit automaker uses a number of nanotech applications.
Armonk, N.Y.-based IBM Corp., despite leading the industry in nanotech patent activity, doesn�t fit the index model; like GM, its nanotech ventures aren�t likely to affect its market value.
Generally, nanotechnology relates to applications arising from the precise manipulation of matter at the scale of atoms and molecules. This applied science and technology field covers a range of topics, but the unifying theme is the control of matter smaller than one micrometer. For perspective, a single human hair is measured at 80,000 nanometers in diameter.
The most immediate developments are being applied across three main areas.
The first involves reducing material components in everything from metals to the raw components of sunscreen down to nanotech-size particles. Early con- sumer applications are developing in the area of sporting equipment to enhance strength-to-weight ratios.
Electronics is another area of potential for nanotech in the form of semiconductors and data storage applications. And nanotech is viewed as particularly significant in the biotechnology field, where nano-size therapies can be engineered to diagnose and target specific maladies.
Although nanotechnology innovation is starting to show up in a lot of different kinds of companies, it would be difficult for a business to attract any real financial backing without the existence of an operating business.
�We�re starting to see some companies� trying to attach nanotech to their names, but it�s pretty easy to distinguish them from real nanotech companies,� said Scott Goldstein, chief executive of Newbridge.
In addition to the pure-play companies, the Newbridge index also includes exposure to some of the firms backing the industry.
Those include Arrowhead Research Corp. (ARWR), a Pasadena, Calif.-based company that is working with colleges and universities to provide incubation funding and support for the development of specific nanotechnologies.
The index also includes Harris & Harris Group Inc. (TINY), a New York venture capital firm that specializes in nanotech companies.
The Newbridge Nanotechnology Index had gained 5.1% this year through Thursday. That compares with a 2.7% gain by the Standard & Poor�s 500 stock index and a 3.4% gain by the Nasdaq.
Last year, the Newbridge index declined by 6%, while the S&P 500 gained 13.6%, and the Nasdaq rose 9.5%.

Tandag City has the best seafood delicacies!
The reason is the city lies in the coastal area and most of the delicacies that the locals made are fish sinugba and shells for kinilaw.
Many of the local tourists are craving and imagining sinugba and other seafood delicacies when coming back to Tandag City.
Location: Tandag City
How to get there: From Butuan City by bus or van to Tandag City
Distance: It will take for estimated 3 to 4 hours from Butuan City to Tandag City using a private vehicle, for public utility bus will reach you around 5 to 6 hours.

Game three between the Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers will be a huge game for the Red Sox and starter Jake Peavy. The Red Sox will go into the game tied with the surging Tampa Bay Rays for the division lead in the American League East. The fact that they are facing the Dodgers is critical because they are playing better than anyone over the last month plus. Peavy is a member of the Red Sox because of games like this. In other words, this is his best chance to shine yet.
Peavy does not have a low ERA for the season but that doesn't matter. All but one of his starts for the Red Sox has been of the quality variety and that is what the Sox need again on Sunday. Especially considering Peavy isn't going against the best the Dodgers have to offer, he should be able to pull off a win if he can shut down the Dodgers enough to make it happen. If he doesn't get the job done it isn't the end of the world, but this is a big chance for he and the Red Sox to prove why it was a good move to bring him over.
I would look for a very good game from Peavy anyway because it is back not only in his original league but also playing against a former division rival from his early days in the Dodgers. Not that he will need extra reasons to get his motivation going for this game but that should help anyway. If the Sox come away from the Dodgers series losing two of three and in second place behind the Rays, it might be tougher than they think to regain that position. It's a huge game for Peavy and the Red Sox which is why they got him. Let's see what happens.

The Albany Devils' euphoria of a franchise-record five-game winning streak has been tempered somewhat today by news that defenseman Matt Corrente will miss the remainder of the season.
Corrente, 24, injured the shoulder in a game Sunday afternoon at Connecticut.
Devils general manager Chris Lamoriello issued the following statement today: "Yesterday, Matt underwent successful surgery on his shoulder. As a result, he is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season."
Corrente, a first-round draft choice (30th overall) by the New Jersey Devils in 2006, had two assists, 32 penalty minutes and a minus-1 rating this season. He was limited to 39 games last season (leg) and 25 games the year before (hand, shoulder) because of injuries.
The Devils, who won their fifth straight game Friday night, also are without captain and defenseman Jay Leach, who is expected to be sidelined until after Christmas because of a lower-body injury.
Albany plays its final home game before Christmas tonight against Providence.

Salvation for the Body (2 of 6): Modern Views of Jesus' Ministry
Since the question of whether healing is in the atonement has been so largely discussed, this paper focuses elsewhere to confirm the Lord's mission. For the purpose of this paper, however, we shall side with J. Sidlow Baxter, who maintains that healing is not in the atonement but comes through the atonement.[1] Neither shall this paper attempt to answer all the questions regarding healing, for as Kydd says, "The claim to have understood healing is evidence that one has not."[2] Instead, we shall attempt to see the biblical purpose of Jesus healing ministry and how it affects believers today.
Thanks to the work of John Calvin[3], David Hume[4], and Rudolph Bultmann[5], present day understandings of the miraculous stand askew.[6] Kelsey states the situation well: "Certainly most Christian thinking, both Catholic and Protestant, has been swept clean of any idea of Christian healing. On the one hand the successes of medicine have made it unnecessary, and on the other, modern theology has made any belief in it untenable."[7] Some wish to keep God's power in the past, saying that in "no other time in human history have so many people been healed" and that the Lord's "unique healing ministry remains unequaled."[8] Such narrow views seem to run counter to Jesus' promise "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do."[9] Because of Calvin's Cessationist belief, Jonathan Edwards killed his own revival. When a man prophesied that God would restore the gifts of the Spirit as in the Book of Acts, "Edwards himself told this man that he was in error. Shortly afterward, Edwards admitted that the Holy Spirit seemed to have withdrawn from his meetings."[10] Hume and Bultmann did more damage than Calvin's Cessationism by saying the miracles never happened.
As some have noted, "A miracle is something very embarrassing to mock professors."[11] With one-fifth of the gospels devoted to healing, one cannot justify explaining it away. These rogue theological perspectives "incline to ascribe more historical value to the sayings of Jesus than to His deeds."[12] Kelsey says this miraculous "emphasis is by far the greatest given to any one kind of experience in the narrative" and it is therefore "difficult to see how Bultmann, and many who follow him, can eliminate this entire ministry on theological and philosophical grounds by calling it mythology."[13] Sighting a transition from spiritual focus, to material gain, Kelsey shows that to "support this emphasis material things were produced. Hospitals were built to heal the sick by modern scientific methods, some hospitals without even a resident chaplain."[14]
Some cringe at denying the reality of the miracles, choosing instead to relegate them as exaggerations. Could they just have been mental conditions and overworked paranoia? Did Jesus not cure physical maladies, but psychopaths? If so, how much greater the miracle. Kelsey puts the issue in perspective:
It may be easier for us, because of the prevailing materialism of our time, to believe that Jesus could heal mental illness than to accept his physical healings, but those who have had experience with it know that this category of disease has been more resistant than any other to the advances of modern medicine. It can be moderated or controlled by drugs, but real healing is rare.[15]
And Bishop Ryle says, "An examination of the gospel records quickly disabuses us of this easy way of explaining the miracles of Christ; and the 'neurotic theory' is quite insufficient to account for them."[16] Therefore, assuming the historicity of Biblical diseases, we must ask a foundational question.

[6] MacNutt quotes Barclay, a popular contemporary author, saying that "it is significant that most of his readers are apparently not disturbed when he implies that Jesus simply used the power of suggestion when He cast out evil spirits. In his commentary on freeing the man possessed by a mute and deaf spirit (Matthew 12:22-29), for instance, Barclay makes his statement as self-evident:
In the eastern world it was not only mental and psychological illness which was ascribed to the influence of demons and devils; all illness was ascribed to their malignant power. Exorcism was therefore very commonly practiced; and was in fact frequently completely effective.
There is nothing in that to be surprised at. When people believe in demon-possession it is easy to convince themselves that they are so possessed when they come under that delusion, the symptoms of demon-possession immediately arise. Even amongst ourselves anyone can think himself into having a headache, or can convince himself that he has the symptoms of an illness. When a person under such a delusion was confronted with an exorcist in whom he had confidence, often the delusion was dispelled and a cure resulted. In such cases if a man was convinced he was cured, he was cured.
"Notice that Barclay uses the word delusion three times. The next logical question for us to ask is, Was Jesus Himself deluded? But I think Barclay realized that question would be going too far and does not consider it." 147.

Zeeshan Javed says:
Dear Brother,
I am Zeeshan Javed from Pakistan. I have studied your web site, and I found it the most wonderful site to get right to the True Word of God. My suggestion for you is to create your material in my language of Urdu, Punjabi, Hindi, Pashto, Sindhi, Sraiki, and Balochi also. It will bring lots of blessings of the Word of God for the Pakistani and Indian Urdu and Punjabi and other local languages speaking people. For that purpose, I as a translator will bring your material into my languages and into Indian language as well. I will be printing and distributing your material to my people around me. Although it will take your low expenses as well, as fund for the Word of God to reach out to the deserving people. I my self, work on a local radio station also. Many times it becomes difficult for us to keep doing this because of being minorities and because of the lack of the financial resources. I will wait for your response.
Sincerely yours
Zeeshan Javed

The commentary is in the same ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] ''[[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead Beavis And Butt-Head]]'' vein as on their Wrestling/JuggaloChampionshipWrestling [=DVD=]s, though with a touch of ''Series/PopUpVideo'', as facts come up on the screen when they get something wrong.

The P-I's Olympia correspondent, Chris McGann, laments the lack of access to initiative guru Tim Eyman?
Something is wrong, terribly wrong — the man whose screams for attention have included dressing up as a gorilla, a convict, Darth Vader and Buzz Light Year — the man who routinely barges into the P-I's Olympia office, the man who gets upset if someone interrupts his exhortations at any of his news conferences…doesn't want to talk to the press?
We wanted him to explainin why the more than 34,000 of the "300,353 citizens" who "voluntarily signed a SaveOur30Tabs.com petition" somehow disappeared, but he's got nothing to say to us.
I just called for comment on I-917, the third $30 car tab initiative he's offered, only to receive a terse e-mail.
"We don't have anything to add to what we've already stated in writing which is reprinted below (email update was sent to our supporters and the media yesterday). Thanks."

As I posted on Facebook earlier today. Don't worry, FB, I'm still not using G+ either, as you two rapidly collide into each other.
I'm not going to make this complicated, Facebook. It's not me, it's you.
I liked it when we first met, I thought it was cool how you'd help me find friends, family, co-workers I hadn't talked to for years, even some people I've known since preschool. That was nice, and you didn't try to grab my wallet every time a friend would join, like some of the "social networks" did before you came along (looking at you, Classmates).
But over the years, you've gotten a little bit creepy, and you rarely tell me anything new or important anymore. In fact, in terms of a "social network", you don't really do much for me in terms of telling me what family and friends are really up to. Instead, my wall isn't about what is important to me, it's ads, links from Upworthy, ThinkProgress, and other sites that have learned how to game the social graph to become front and center. Now your content is just as worthless as when Google let Demand Media and others game SEO to backfill the Web with crap content.
I'm not exactly sure what demographic you're trying to tune Facebook for, and it sure seems like you may not know either.
So with that, Facebook, I'm gonna have to let you go. I've downloaded my archive (man, we did have some good times), and I'm going to have to let you go. Tomorrow afternoon, I'm pulling the plug. If you ever need to find me, I'm easy enough to find on the Web, email, and Twitter.
Take care, Facebook. I hope you figure out what the heck you want to be when you grow up.
Wes Miller

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 1 – Beginner)
Topic: Bridge (07/31/08)
TITLE: The Flooding
By Karye Willard
There were news crews from all over the United States to tape the devastation caused by the flooding; people had come from all over the country to help sandbagging; and even a presidential candidate, probably just looking for some attention, had come to throw in his two cents about the relief efforts. It was sad to think about all the people in Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois who had lost their homes, their livelihood, and everything they had accumulated.
I Am still here. They haven't lost everything -- they haven't lost anything.
That is true, I thought to myself. Jesus Christ the Lord is everything -- there is no need to fear death or hardship. He, with His life, paid for a bridge from this world into the Life (see John 14:6 [NIV]), and it can never be flooded or rerouted or destroyed. People need to be shown how to cross the bridge from tragedy to Christ. Not everyone will choose to do this, but those who do should know that just because they have crossed the bridge doesn't mean that hardship or physical death will never befall them -- rather they can and should learn Christlike ways to patiently endure -- to persevere.
You are Mine. I created you for this. Testify.
2 Timothy 1:8-10 "So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God, who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel."

I personally could care less if a shop offers fluff like skins, mounts, etc as long as it doesn't result in having to buy things to lift restrictions just to play properly.

Does Rift have a cash shop? I think it might be the only one that doesn't.
If a P2P game adds a cash shop, then I won't play it. That's double dipping, it's greedy and unnecessary. Even with cosmetic stuff, I still wouldn't want a cash shop to be in a P2P game(talking to you TSW, yes I know its B2P now but they had a cash shop at launch). That's just me though.
WoW has a borderline cash shop. They sell mounts, pets, character transfers, character recutomizations, name changes, faction changes, server transfers, ect. And yet Blizzard feels the need to charge you up the ass for them even though their all dealt with automaticly.
What's wrong with a cash shop? Virtually every MMO out there has one, only an extreme minority of them offering any kind of "pay to win" concepts or even boosts in the sligtest. The WoW cash shop is a cash shop. It's a shop that requires cash. It's not a big deal, right?
Mountains rise in the distance stalwart as the stars, fading forever.
Roads ever weaving, soul ever seeking the hunter's mark.
They have a service that allows one to upgrade their edition of Rift minus the cost already paid.
So if you bought the $20 version but want to upgrade to the collector's edition you may do so for the difference in price of standard the Rift game. As you are now buying the CE it would entitle you to the CE bonuses, natch. No different than if one had bought the CE on day 1.
There is no cash shop in Rift.
They sell version of the Rift game in total.
This is a cash shop expressly.WoW has a borderline cash shop. They sell mounts, pets, character transfers, character recutomizations, name changes, faction changes, server transfers, ect. And yet Blizzard feels the need to charge you up the ass for them even though their all dealt with automaticly.

Where you are correct about the selling upgraded versions of the game that get you mounts in the offer, their is "A" mount for sale in their store for $15 that dose not upgrade your account at all, its simply a mount you buy. The "Armored White War Tiger Mount" is what its called I believe.
That's a cash shop. From what I can tell, they're selling some sort of teleporter, an increase to primary bag size, and access to your bank anywhere, for $10 each.
Forget what I just said before, I wasn't thinking it was 12:30 AM and I was a zombie. I need to stop talking, I'm not good at it.
Anyways, what I find wrong with a cash shop in a P2P game is their asking you to pay a monthly fee AND to pay them money for items.
What I was saying is I don't have a problem with MMO's selling server transfers, ect.
But what I do have a problem with is If the MMO starts selling cosmetic items, boosts,mounts, pets, or anything you can't get from the game itself.
I hate it when people blow $25 on a mount that is almost always a reskin. For example That Retarded Horse(get that reference or be forever boring).
That's just me though. A lot people are probably fine with all that.

All right, gentlemen, let's review. The year is 2018 - that's two-zero-one-eight, as in the 21st Century - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of robed sissies.
While I obviously don't see the game in the same light, it would be factually incorrect for me to not say they have a cash shop. Additionally, the point is not to give any sort of commentary on the game in relation, but to point out that just about every game has some version of a cash shop these days.
I actually can't think of one MMO where you can't buy something extra with cash that isn't included in the box and/or subscription.
Last edited by Kelimbror; 2013-05-11 at 02:21 PM.
I will agree that boosts should never make it into a game store, especially when we start talking about things like gold/item find boosters. Cosmetic stuff though, meh. If people want to plunk down $10 for a pet or $25 for a mount, more power to 'em. As long as store stuff doesn't effect game play, and giving anyone an advantage, the majority can ignore it and move on.
I could care less if an MMO had a cash shop and a monthly fee as long as the cash shop didn't effect game play in any way other than cosmetic, for instance I recently tried neverwinter and can't you buy diamonds from that store and just buy the best gear off the AH?
I personally played WoW from release up until 2 months ago when I quit and never bought a pet or mount from the store because they were ugly and everyone and their mother had one, I like to be somewhat unique in an MMO and just buying that shit is wrong.
For me a cash shop means being able to buy things with real life money that gives you advantage in game (XP boosts, proffesion boosts and the like) - Being able to buy a few mounts, pets and other vanity stuff LIKE THAT does not really bother me.
Personally i hope Wildstar goes with a subscription based model, with faction/race changes (Payed, i dont really care tbh). I can say, for sure, that if it goes F2P i will not play it. Simply because i get a iggy (?) feeling when i play F2P games.
AkA Companiet !
I'm not sure I really mind what kind of business model Wildstar goes for, but I guess if I had any preference it would be for a free to play game with a well done League of Legends-esq (and by that I mean no direct selling of power) cash shop, perhaps with additional subscription options for extra perks (increased auction house listings, maybe increased rested xp gain rate, that kind of stuff).
Man I can't wait for this game.
But you're right. I retract that statement above; Trion sell a mount. From the Korean Edition of Rift.
One is buying the game. The whole game at various incentive levels.
That is not a cash shop. That is selling the game.
Point taken on the white tiger. I thought it was gone but apparently not.
