I only have the highest regard for Jayne. Through her exceptional treatments and knowledge, I am now relieved of symptoms which I have 'lived with' for many years.
I had Menieres Disease which left me with a constant 'pressure' in my head, deafness in my left ear & 'muffled' hearing. Often resorting to lip reading. Jayne has given me no less than 100%+ on every treatment.
My life now has changed dramatically. The pressure in my head has completely gone along with the muffled sounds. I have regained my hearing 'clarity' and could never thank Jayne enough.
Angela Marfitt – Threshfield, Skipton – Retired.
As a result of running on the fells, up to 30 miles per week, I started to suffer from Aches and Strains to my IT Band, Quads, Hamstrings, Glutes and Groin, infact just about most places have had a bashing!
Jaynes' knowledge and effective treatments have not only kept me running but I believe have made me stronger. First Place in the 2011 Lake District Mountain Trial Short Course is proof of that!
David Dixon (38) Fire Fighter and Fell Runner, Threshfield, Skipton
I started with Jayne this year as I have suffered with a bad back for a number of years. Like most people, the backpain comes and goes until this year where mine persisted. I had been treated by an osteopath prior to Jayne, who targeted one area only and whilst giving relief on the day, the pain returned very soon.
Right from the very first appointment Jayne offers a very professional approach to the specific problem. With an in depth talk about the problem, lifestyle and daily routines that could be related, no stone is left unturned.
The treatment then begins by not just working on the areas of pain, but all the associated areas that you would never realise could affect your back.
My back is majorly improved within a few visits, along with Jaynes advice on daily routines that I can easily do at home.
I can thoroughly recommend Jayne and Touched Therapies for anyone suffering from any sort of backpain. Book in now, just think of the relief!
Simon Harris – Sutton in Craven.
I was having trouble with my back and hips. It felt like I had "rocks" in my lower back when I moved around. After a few sessions with Jayne my back and hips felt great. Jayne also educated me as to what was causing my back problems. I also had a sports injury. After a few intense massage courses and regular visits I am able to substain a normal work out.
Thanks to Jayne I feel like I am in my 30's again (not my 90's).
Kara Woodhouse-Kent. Cottingley, Bingley
When I first went to see Jayne, I was suffering from severe migraines which were occurring at about 4 times a week and they were seriously affecting my day to day life. Jayne was able to pinpoint the problem easily and worked on my neck and shoulders to alleviate the tension in these areas. This was last October and since this session I have not had another migraine.
I now see Jayne regularly every six weeks which keeps on top of the migraine problem, but she also sorts out any other aches and pains I may get along the way. I look forward to the massage sessions now and couldn't do without them. Jayne is always very friendly and gives lots of good advice. I would highly recommend Jayne to everyone.
Helen Barugh, Mum of 2, Grassington
"Before my first treatment I had severe neck/shoulder pain and had very little flexibility in these areas. The Massage treatment immediately resulted in a reduction of the tension and inflexibility in those areas and consequently a reduction in pain. The following sessions have all continued to improve the situation hugely. The massage session is a complete mental and physical 'tonic', a release from stress both mental and physical, the ambiance of calm established by (Jaynes') ' instructrions' to clear your mind and focus internally, create a haven of relaxation. I find that the regular massage sessions re-inforce the improvement, acting as a mental reminder to relax, focus on breathing etc., on a daily basis. Occasionally the pressure points of the massage can be painful, but this in itself relieves the pressure point – a tolerable sensation! Always resulting in improvement.
Hilary J S Temple, Retired. Eldwick, Bingley. email@example.com
"I have had chronic problems for many years with stiffness and tension in my neck & shoulders. Apart from being generally uncomfortable, this also adversely affected my sleep. Over the years I have been treated by a number of masseurs, plus the odd osteopath/Alexander practitioner, with little or no success.
A friend recommended Jayne Driver, who instantly honed in on the problem areas. After the first two or three sessions I saw a big difference. While the problem still recurs, it is now less acute and I am certainly sleeping much better. I now see Jayne every couple of weeks as part of an ongoing maintenance regime.
Jayne has also made me more aware of the importance of good hydration in maintaining a healthy body and she keeps me on my toes in this respect, as I know she can tell straight away when I've not been drinking enough fluid.
Jayne has focused on my individual problem and helped me start to identify and address the causes (self-inflicted!) rather that just treat my symptoms. She is also local, which for me avoids a long drive to and from appointments. Jayne is a lovely, friendly and extremely professional person and I would certainly recommend her".
Jo Haig. Conistone, Skipton
"I was recommended by a friend to consult Jayne Driver after suffering for some time with discomfort in muscles and joints in my legs. I had never been a great believer in massage being a cure for aches and pains, thinking of it as more of a luxury than a therapy! Jayne completely alleviated the problems after 4 or 5 sessions but I am now committed to the idea of having regular sessions to ensure that the debilitating discomfort I was previously experiencing does not return. I am much more informed now on how beneficial deep massage can be and have already started sending family members for sessions".
Diane Lowe. Grassington Lodge, Wood Lane, Grassington, BD23 5LU www.grassingtonlodge.co.uk 01756-752518
Both my husband and I suffer from backpain…me through stress, driving and pc work which culminates primarily in my shoulders and neck, sometimes to the extent that I can't move my head or sleep soundly. My husband has a seriously bad back which is the result of years playing rugby, plus a couple of accidents thrown into the mix!
We both struggled to find someone who understood our problems, realising that a relaxation massage might send us to sleep during the treatment, but would offer no long term relief from our pain. Then we heard about Jayne Harris of Touched Therapies, who performs a 'No Hands'Massage. We had absolutely no idea what this meant but were impressed by how highly recommended she came from people we knew. It was worth a try and we booked in to see Jayne for a consultation.
Jayne's professionalism starts the moment you call for an appointment, she is straight talking, thorough and extremely knowledgeable and no treatment starts without a full consultation on your current and past medical history, lifestyle and details of the problems being experienced. Jayne then goes on to explain that in a 'No Hands' Massage, she (mainly) uses her arms, elbows and body weight to locate and treat problem areas. Sounded strange but we were willing to give it a try .Oh my goodness! Why did it take us so long to hear about Jayne? In one treatment she managed to give my husband more mobility and pain relief than he has had in years and she unlocked my shoulders and neck so that we both had our best nights sleep in ages.
Needless to say we are both converts and now visit Jayne on a regular basis. 'No Hands' Massage, I now know, is one of the most powerful and effective ways to release all of the tension from your spine, hips and neck and through our own personal experience I can tell you it definitely works!
The massage itself takes a little getting used to, especially as body weight is used, however, this seems to be the key to its success. How does it work? The only real way to know and understand and feel the benefits is to feel it for yourself. I could talk and talk and try to explain, however nothing will explain better or convince you more than you experiencing this wonderful therapy personally. I can guarantee it won't be your last!

I have been seeing Jayne since 2007 when I first came in with a chronic bad back. I had been to various Chiropracters, Osteopaths , Physio's and had just ended up on prescribed pain killers. After my first treatment, I slept through the night for the first time in over 2 years. I think I only had about 3 or 4 treatments before my back was better, was back at work and had started running again. I continued with regular sessions every month and any minor aches and pains that would creep up, Jayne would sort out before they became a problem. When Jayne moved to Grassington last year I thought I could probably now live without her, save a bit of time and money. I had tried another couple of therapists and physios in between time, but none could get to the route of the problem like Jayne did. My back pains started to reappear and within 8 months I was almost back to square one. I have now returned to regular monthly treatments with Jayne, despite the travelling time etc., for me it is time and money well spent. Within a couple of treatments, my back pains had gone. Jayne has a great way of explaining things and uses some great analogies, rather than the usual medical speak which goes completely over my head. What Jayne does is certainly different, but it works for me and I have no problem in recommending her.
John Wallwark, Baildon, Shipley
"I have been having massage treatments by Jayne for 12 months, having first met at a charity event she was helping at in July 2009. Jayne is very talented and is without a doubt the best masseur I have been to. She manages to combine ultimate professionalism with genuine friendliness very well. The treatments themselves have always been effective, whether that is hard work on 'pressure points' or sheer relaxation in a reflexology session. I can't recommend her highly enough!"
Anna Stewart, Steeton, Keighley
"I'd never had a massage before and found it really enjoyable. I was feeling quite tired beforehand, probably more mentally than physically. Afterwards I felt very relaxed but much more alert and able to cope with the days' stresses! My back stopped hurting late evening. ps. My Pupil said I smelled nice!!"
Sue Mattiocco, Driving Instructor, Eldwick, Bingley
"Really super relaxing. No worries or concerns during the massage and I was made to feel very welcome"
Sarah Smith
"I have trained extensively with No Hands Massage for ten years and can tell you that from my own (No Hands®) hands on experience that Jayne is an excellent therapist.
She has the skills and experience to deal with all situations. If you need repairing, she can re-balance your body and help you recover. If you need an energy boost, she can provide that too. Maybe you just want to relax and connect with wherever you want to go. Jayne can help you do that too.
I see her regularly for all those treatments as part of my regular massage maintenance. I always leave feeling energised, happier, refreshed and younger."
Giles Hinchcliffe, Leeds. Advanced No Hands® Massage Therapist – Mastery Trained
"As a sufferer for 15 years of osteoarthritis with hypermobile joints and associated conditions, I have found combining regular Reflexology and No Hands Massage has greatly improved my aches, pains, inflammation and spinal mis-alignment problems. Several years of Chiropractic treatment, although beneficial, did not provide such effective overall health maintenance. I am happy to report I have not suffered from my usual episodes of twisted vertebrae or pelvis, which used to be a common occurrence, prior to starting these treatments. Other areas of concern have been highlighted during the sessions and been effectively dealt with including an ongoing sinus problem. As manager of a busy health food store, I have since recommended the clinic to several of my customers, family members, and friends, all of whom have experienced relief, as a result. The clinic is professionally run, client record history is thorough and the treatments performed are well executed, showing an extensive knowledge and understanding of the subject matter."
Margaret Boyd, Health Food Store Manager, Keighley, West Yorkshire
"A combination of hard training and insufficient rest had left me with an aching back, painful calves, hamstrings, quads and glutes. I was initially a bit sceptical about the benefits of massage therapy, however, Jayne continued to badger me and I reluctantly went along. I am now converted! Thanks to Jayne's expertise and regular massage treatments she has helped to release and relax my muscles further than you could ever possibly do with stretching routines alone. She is very professional and her sense of humour in acutely painful situations is always appreciated! She has managed to keep me on the pitch so far this season and has made it possible for me to play without worrying about the physical aspect of my game. After a massage treatment there is immediate relief from soreness and inflammation and the next day I am able to train without any tired or aching muscles. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jayne's 'Rub Down' to any serious sports minded person or to anyone else who would benefit from a really good professional massage.
Toby Williams (20), Skipton, North Yorkshire Professional Rugby League Player – York City Knights
"I began treatments with Jayne in October 2005. I visit 4 weekly and really look forward to my treatments. being a busy person and always in a rush, I find it so restful and relaxing. In November 2006 my back developed problems and Jayne is currently working on that area, the condition is now less frequent. Jayne often recommends certain treatments types for particular ailments and I find her knowledgeable and helpful. I heartily recommend Jayne for all ages."
Audrey Simpson, Keighley, West Yorkshire
"List of problems seemed endless, basically neck pains and migraines have now gone and other ailments relieved by treatments. Feel more relaxed in general with life and work. Each treatment leaves me 'floating' and so relaxed, I now sleep too well!"
Sue Eley, Systems Manager, Colne, Lancashire
"I first visited Jayne because I had two very painful toes (Mortens Toe) on my left foot. During the first few sessions of Reflexology my toes remained very painful, but gradually over a few months of regular visits the toes became numb and are now back to normal with no pain whatsoever. I put the improvement in my toes down to the Reflexology sessions and would recommend this treatment for anyone suffering problems with their feet. The treatments are relaxing and beneficial.
Mrs J Emmett, Keighley
"Having suffered a severe fractured ankle 25 years ago, requiring a steel pin, the advancing years have also brought arthritis which was severely incapacitating walking. Reflexology has certainly improved flexibility and movement and I find walking up and down stairs, whilst still slow, is not as painful. I feel relaxed and refreshed following (a) treatment"
Mrs Maxine Drew, Keighley
"I developed Sciatica recently that hurt like hell when I turned right driving my car (bizarre but true). It also sent me crackers at night because I couldn't sleep due to the aching lower back and legs. To be honest I've always been a bit sceptical about this kind of 'New Age Healing' thing, but lost patience with being prescribed 'Pain killers'. So, and to my pleasant surprise, after three Reflexology treatments the Sciatica disappeared – what a result!"
Mr J Driver (42), Bingley
"I had been suffering with back ache for about 4 years. I had no high hopes or idea what I was letting myself get into and thought a Massage might help my stress-head anyway. I don't really know how to describe what Jayne does, but it's like a having all the air squashed out of you in a big hug with Baloo the bear! At one point I was sure that this slip of a girl must have exchanged places with Giant Haystacks! 2 days after my 1st massage I went to bed with no pain killers and was shocked to be woken by my alarm clock, rather than pain for the 1st time in 4 years.
Mr S Walmsley (36) (Fleet Manager)
Thanks for a wonderfully relaxing experience, I have never felt so relaxed in all my life and can't wait 'til next week.
Carly Jones (24)
My only complaint was that an hour went past far too quick.
Mrs B Starr (40)
"Excellent – (Full Body Massage) worth it for the neck/shoulder massage alone"
Sharon Dunwoodie
Jayne asks all her clients to leave some feedback or comment as to how they felt after the treatment. They are not compelled to do this, or share their names, most do. These comments, feedback and testimonials can all be viewed in clinic.
"Absolutely at peace with myself" R Kernahan
"Very Relaxed" Helen Turnock
"Tight shoulders were tense. Now feel Fab. Brilliant!" Liz Ashworth
"Its like a veil has lifted and I can now see how blue the sky is and how green the grass is and I can't remember seeing those bright colours in such a long time" KB
"More relaxed and balanced. Thanks!" K Wilkinson
"Excellent, this type of massage. It was an experience I have never had before. Body is now awakened". HB
"Amazing! Back feels as good as new and I'm very relaxed" Katie Stewart
Very relaxed – Thank You" Michelle Gibson
"Will be calling to re-book for sure" – SG
"Great! Really enjoyed" D Harding
"Could be improved, by the half hour lasting for 2 hours!" Adrienne Cross
"Great! Happy + relaxed!" S Gibson
Very good, very relaxed and very very deep!"
"Very good, was very pleased with the treatment, I have no complaints at all."
"Excellent, pleasant and relaxing surroundings. Sympathetic but professional treatment" Mrs M Drew, Keighley
"Very good, felt relaxed after massage. Slept really well, felt good next morning" Miss H Keighley, Bingley
(Feel) "Very relaxed and much brighter" Helen Lynch

Happy Vday y'all. I recently landed in Atlanta from my worldwind Southwest Airlines adventure to Austin, TX with the AJC. I hope you've enjoyed my posts. I'm glad that SWA flies to Austin from Atlanta now so that I can spend more time there. Too much to do, see, and EAT in about 36 hours.
To sum up my thoughts on Southwest Airlines' arrival in Atlanta… "Luv". At least during this experience, "The Luv Airline" lived up to its name. Now… I don't have a crystal ball and I can't travel in time so I don't know whether the love will continue. I can't predict whether all of the smiles and laughter that I experienced from all the employees of SWA will last. What I can tell you is that , in the words of James Brown, they've started off on "the Good Foot"!
I, and all of the passengers traveling from Austin today on SWA were greeted by a gate of hearts. Hearts greeted us on the overhead bins (maybe because they are stuffed to the brim). I also received a heart from the flight

There have been many competitions down the years encouraging people to coin new words. Few of these creations ever find a permanent place in the language, because they must meet an obvious need or catch the public's imagination to be successful. Scofflaw has achieved this difficult feat.
A contest was held in Boston in 1923, during the Prohibition era, to find a descriptive word for "a lawless drinker of illegally made or illegally obtained liquor". A prize of $200 was offered by Delcevare King of Quincy, a rich Prohibitionist, to find such a word in order to "stab awake the conscience" of those who drank alcohol.
Since $200 was a sum not to be sneezed at, more than 25,000 entries were received from all over America and beyond. The winner was announced on 15 January 1924; as scofflaw had been sent in by two contestants, the prize was divided equally between Mr Henry Irving Dale and Miss Kate L Butler.
H L Mencken mentioned the competition in his work The American Language, and commented that "The word came into immediate currency, and survived until the collapse of Prohibition". As any modern dictionary will relate, it has survived rather longer than that, though these days it often refers to persistent offenders against parking laws and other minor regulations.

The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew up between rail tracks after the trains stopped running in the 1980s. Today, the High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees – each chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share one of our gardeners' current favorites with you.
Tonight we unveiled the latest design concept for the Spur, a unique area within the third section of the High Line at the Rail Yards, at a public presentation at the School of Visual Arts Theatre.
Neighbors, supporters, members, and friends gathered for a presentation of renderings of the Spur by the High Line Design Team's James Corner of James Corner Field Operations and Ric Scofidio of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, as well as an update on the progress on construction and the project timeline by Friends of the High Line Co-Founder Robert Hammond.
Join us after the jump for the just-released renderings of the Spur.
The High Line Shop has curated apparel, accessories, and mementos that make perfect gifts for the holiday season.
It is an exciting moment in the construction timeline for the High Line at the Rail Yards. The first phase of the rail yards is taking shape and this upcoming Monday, November 11, designs will be unveiled for the Spur, pictured above, a section of the High Line at the Rail Yards that extends over 10th Avenue at West 30th Street.
For this week's Photo of the Week we're featuring two of our recent favorites of the Spur from photographer Timothy Schenck who has been expertly documenting the progress of construction at the High Line since before our first section was underway in the spring of 2006.
Read more after the jump.
Want to carry around a unique piece of art with you wherever you go? You're in luck! High Line Art has launched a series of one-of-a-kind High Line Billboard tote bags, which were created from decommissioned works in the High Line Billboard series. And, as an added bonus, they're eco-friendly. The billboards were treated with plant-based cleaners before being pieced and constructed into each custom-designed tote bag, making every single recycled bag a unique creation.
Each year we host the Social Soup Experiment. This year, on October 19, the experiment brought a new wave of community members to eat heaping bowls of hearty bean and farro soup and join in conversation with their fellow diners.
In celebration of our new 18-month High Line Calendar, we're exploring each month's featured image to bring you more of the behind-the-scenes details.
In 1934, the initial stage of the West Side Improvement Project was completed: a shining new elevated viaduct was unveiled, connecting New York Central Railroad's freight line with Manhattan's West Side. This great engineering achievement eliminated 105 street-level railroad crossings and allowed manufacturing and food processing buildings flanking the railway to connect directly with its train cars to load and unload freight.
At the southern terminus of the High Line was a new St. John's Park Freight Terminal at Spring Street. This massive new building allowed for 150 standing train cars, a leap ahead to support increasing manufacturing demands on the neighborhood's businesses.
This month's photo, at right, appeared in a 1934 promotional brochure detailing the West Side Improvement Project. Looking north along the new – and to-date unused – tracks of the High Line, anticipation was building for the debut of the new elevated railways. New York Central Railroad wrote about the project in their brochure:
We'd like to thank our High Line Volunteers for everything they did to support Friends of the High Line in 2013!
Their help in the maintenance and programming of the park was crucial to keeping the High Line an extraordinary space for New Yorkers and City visitors. More than 200 volunteers aided the High Line in different capacities – guiding tours, tending the plants, welcoming park visitors at an information desk, cleaning design features, assisting High Line staff during public programs (on the park and in the neighborhood!),answering visitor questions, keeping records in the office, taking beautiful photographs, removing snow, and more. We couldn't have done so much this year without the help and dedication of this extraordinary group of people. Thank you!
Here is a compilation of photos and quotes from this incredible year. We hope you enjoy them.
Photographer Timothy Schenck captured this vibrant autumn photo this morning as a light rain fell on the Chelsea neighborhood. Peering out from between the trees in the 10th Avenue Square, on the High Line at West 17th Street, Tim's photo captures a north-facing view of the park's fall foliage and our newest High Line Billboard at West 18th Street.
Contrasting with the overcast day, Thomas Demand's new High Line Billboard installation, High Line, offers an unwavering bright patch of blue sky next to the park. This seemingly simple poetic image of an empty clothesline is actually a photograph of a meticulously constructed paper and cardboard replica of these everyday objects.
The large billboard format, which High Line Art Curator & Director Cecilia Alemani has used to augment the presence and impact of artworks, creates an interesting interaction with park goers and sparks the imagination. Clotheslines are both familiar and exotic – in the sense that they are recognizable, but don't quite fit into our 21st-century city-dwelling existence. (Maybe a more Manhattan-centric version could involve quarter slots or a drop-off laundry reference?)
However you choose to interpret and enjoy the new High Line Billboard, it's not a bad thing to be reminded of a summer breeze on an idyllic countryside, especially on rainy days like today. Stop by soon – this High Line Billboard will be on view until Monday, December 2, 2013.

Who's Coppin' Bred 11′s Tomorrow?
The December 21, 2012 Mayan apocalyptic date will not deter any Jordan Brand fans from trying to purchase one of the most sought after Air Jordan models. The infamous Air Jordan 11 Black/Varsity Red will once again make its way into retailers. Unlike the previous Air Jordan 11 retro colorways, this "Bred" version will not come with the special slide out box. We highly doubt that the slight packaging change would deter any Air Jordan fan from buying this classic sneaker.
If you didn't already know, the Air Jordan 11 2012 Retro "Bred" will hit JB accounts tomorrow December 21st. The retail price is set at $185. Let us know in the comment section below if you're coppin'.

With all my might.
Nice joints, but not worth lining up for.
with all the luck a person can have
I'll be lining up at 8am and walking out with my size. #Iaintgotnoworries
Thank God, in my country, some authorized retailers are allowed to take preorders for Nikes.
I already reserved at two different stores.
Nice way to end this year.
Yes sir!
2 pairs please.
without a doubt
Currently camping right now.
Shops around my way are on some true BS. They are charging 250 for the XIs. This is the type of sh*t I don't like.
It is more likely the Mayan apocalypse will happen than me ever getting a chance to see these on someone's feet forget having to even have a chance to buy a pair. All I want for Christmas is to have the same connections the resellers, that will undoubtedly get their hands on like 20 pairs, have.
copped 2 pairs already… and will try for some more tomorrow.
Nope. I have priorities in life. Had to pay bills and buy my child and wife Christmas gifts. If I had a little extra I would've dropped the $230-$250 at a mom and pop to avoid the bullshit lines and RSVP bullshit. No grown man my age should have to deal with that shit. This is the sneaker that got me addicted to Js though. Had an OG pair in 6th,01 version in HS and I still have a crispy CDP joint worn 5xs even though the quality sucks and I been told the quality sucks on these as well. So I don't feel too bad. What in digging is the fact the red looks better than the CDP version. Oh well life goes on. It just a shoe folks. Hope no one gets hurt tomorrow.
Already paid for and reserved. Just picking em up tomorrow on my way to work. ^_^
eh, I tried, they were sold out when I woke up this morning……
Hypebeast we know about cha don't buy shoes unless they popular. Not even trying to cop but this girl ran infront of my car just to rush the door -_- almost got hit by my door.
got my pair!!! hand down man!!! xmas came early..passed on thunders..it was one or the other! period!
Pass, just got a house with my girl and I think I'm done giving Jordan Brand my money. I might be done with kicks for good because there are only but so many you can have. Good luck to everyone copping be safe.
YESSS I have my cool Greys an Breds without a problem… SURPRISINGLY!!
Word to damfuff and sek. I feel yall up top. I did copp min tho . And for mor than retail. Ddnt feel like campn for em. Solute to those who copped the rite way. Now let's get these thunders!!! Cold, crush!
Y'all realize there are more pairs of these out there than what they say is "limited" release. If you spend more on these things than the retail, y'all are dumb. You realize that the auction sites are that sell these for 2-3 times their price are the same ones that distribute them. All the people that hype them up, y'all are driving the prices up there and just lining the pockets of those who hold these back for more profit. The best part, 1K+ people line up for hours on end, hoping to get one of 100 pairs they might have. Call me a hater or whatever, but when when i see news reports of violence over a pair of shoes, i can't help but laugh, because someone is going down for $2.00 (check out what it costs to make a pair of these, then tell me who's stupid).
@whatswrong,,,___all anyone can do is get info on releases and act on themm.when most retailers hav already givn out tix. 1 option is to find mom &pop and pay over retail. Its a reason this shoe sells out all over the world in 3hrs. Everyone buys em. I dig wut u sayin bout the cost of makn a pair. That's real boy. Salute!!!
got mine….. they are great.. and the cool greys are cool as hell..

Activation of six human brain carbonic anhydrases (hCAs, EC 220.127.116.11), hCA I, II, IV, VA, VII, and XIV, with l-/d-phenylalanine was investigated kinetically and by X-ray crystallography. l-Phe was a potent activator of isozymes I, II, and XIV (K(A)s of 13-240 nM), a weaker activator of hCA VA and VII (K(A)s of 9.8-10.9 microM), and a quite inefficient hCA IV activator (K(A) of 52 microM). d-Phe showed good hCA II activatory properties (K(A) of 35 nM), being a moderate hCA VA, VII, and XIV (K(A)s of 4.6-9.7 microM) and a weak hCA I and IV activator (K(A)s of 63-86 microM). X-ray crystallography of the hCA II-l-Phe/d-Phe adducts showed the activators to be anchored at the entrance of the active site, participating in numerous bonds and hydrophobic interactions with amino acid residues His64, Thr200, Trp5, and Pro201. This is the first study showing different binding modes of stereoisomeric activators within the hCA II active site, with consequences for overall proton transfer processes (rate-determining for the catalytic cycle). It also points out differences of activation efficiency between various isozymes with structurally related activators, exploitable for designing alternative proton transfer pathways. CA activators may lead to the design of pharmacologically useful derivatives for the enhancement of synaptic efficacy, which may represent a conceptually new approach for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, aging, and other conditions in which spatial learning and memory therapy must be enhanced. As the blood and brain concentrations of l-Phe are quite variable (30-73 microM), activity of some brain CAs may strongly be influenced by the level of activator(s) present in such tissues.

[CAH2_HUMAN] Defects in CA2 are the cause of osteopetrosis autosomal recessive type 3 (OPTB3) [MIM:259730]; also known as osteopetrosis with renal tubular acidosis, carbonic anhydrase II deficiency syndrome, Guibaud-Vainsel syndrome or marble brain disease. Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disease characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. The disorder occurs in two forms: a severe autosomal recessive form occurring in utero, infancy, or childhood, and a benign autosomal dominant form occurring in adolescence or adulthood. Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis is usually associated with normal or elevated amount of non-functional osteoclasts. OPTB3 is associated with renal tubular acidosis, cerebral calcification (marble brain disease) and in some cases with mental retardation.[1][2][3][4][5]
[CAH2_HUMAN] Essential for bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation (By similarity). Reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Can hydrate cyanamide to urea. Involved in the regulation of fluid secretion into the anterior chamber of the eye.[6][7]

Though happily settled with her family in their Edgewater house, when Jennifer Bieberich gazed across the yard, she knew something was missing.
"It was just calling for a barn," she says.
The couple, including her husband Karl Bieberich, are no farmers, but that empty corner of their property is now home to a 1,050-square-foot "carriage house" barn constructed by Yankee Barn Homes, a New Hampshire-based company that designs and builds timber-frame homes around the country.
The structure looks like a red barn from the outside; inside, it includes a utility space on the first floor and a great room on the second floor. Constructed using "old school barn-raising techniques," the structure took only five days to build.
The Bieberichs' main house is comfortable, but "small and chopped up," says Jennifer Bieberich. ""We needed a place for sit-down dinners, Christmas Eve and Thanksgiving. The timber frame allows for that open floor plan."
Though the Bieberichs had to start from scratch, many Marylanders are lucky enough to have access to existing barns ripe for renovation. According to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, there are more than 5,000 barns in Maryland that were built before 1960.
Michael Owings of Owings Brothers Contractors in Eldersburg renovated one such barn, a 150-year-old structure in the Greenspring Valley. His clients, who lived in the original house not far from the barn, wanted to save the old building, but modernize the space, creating a "man cave" for entertaining.
Renovating an older barn can be a significant undertaking. Owings Brothers and partner Ratcliffe Architects started by stabilizing the building, redoing the structure to "keep it from falling over," says Owings. They then added conventional heating and air conditioning and new plumbing and updated the water and sewer.
"The barn has an older appearance but an updated interior," explains Owings. "The interior is done in a rustic fashion. The walls are reclaimed barn wood from Pennsylvania, and there's a bar done in reclaimed oak. A big stone fireplace anchors the whole thing."
But the space also has modern touches, including a half-court basketball court and golf simulator.
Renovated barns are naturally eco-friendly in that they reuse existing structures, but many homeowners take green building a step further.
Alexander Dzurec, president and managing partner of the Baltimore- and Santa Fe-based architecture firm Autotroph, has created "Re-Barn," a proposal that would convert old tobacco barns into modern, energy-efficient homes. Dzurec's design incorporates solar panels as well as design elements, like overhangs and shading control to manage interior temperature naturally. "We can learn a lot from how people built before air conditioning and heating," he says.
Eco-friendliness provides bragging rights, but Dzurec points out that because barn renovations require many updates to make the old structures livable and to bring them up to code, they can be complicated and expensive.
"They won't cost less than a typical custom home," he says. "If you're dealing with an old structure, you have to spend money to make sure it's stable and in good condition." Those expenses will likely drive the cost higher than the average new construction spec home.
New barn construction varies in cost. Jake Trim, sales manager with BarnPros, a pre-fab barn company based in Washington state, says that a simple 36-by-36-foot pre-engineered barn costs about $70,000 for the structure itself. Shipping, land and construction costs are additional and elaborate designs may increase the base price.
While Dzurec imagines Re-Barns occupied by families interested in working or leasing the land, people with a variety of lifestyles are attracted to barn-like buildings.
"I think there's a certain amount of nostalgia and romance for people looking to live in rural areas," says Dzurec, noting that barn living allows a close connection with nature.
Jennifer Bieberich likes that her barn feels "warm and cozy" but its open space allows for easy, casual entertaining.
"Today's families are getting away from the formal lifestyle," she says. "I grew up with a living room and formal dining room I used about three times a year. This way, I'm using all of the house."
Trim says his clients build barns for a number of uses, from the traditional — boarding horses and living above the stalls — to vacation homes and commercial venues like wineries and bed and breakfasts. For many, the rusticity of barn living is an "escape from city life," he says.

today's show
What will we do with all this "white space"?
There's a vote coming up this week in Washington that will have a big impact on how you use the internet, what's available to you, how much faster you'll be able to get things online. On Thursday, the FCC is expected to open up unused parts of the broadcast spectrum, a lot of people call it "white space". This is space that was positioned to be something of a buffer between television stations but such padding is proving less essential since the conversion to digital TV.
On today's show, we talk to Glenn Fleishman from Wi-Fi Networking News and The Economist about how the spectrum works and what kind of new space we're talking about. We also check in with Tim Wu from Columbia Law School about the companies that will look to use the space and what it all might mean for you and me as internet consumers.

- Surprisingly mediocreLM56Dined on 9/21/2014I'm sorry to say food was only okay. My sea bass was tasteless (and I made mistake of not reading that it was tempura style). My son's bone-in rib eye was filled with gristle. My husband's steak & lobster was very good. We pointed out gristle to waitress who said she'd notify manager but he never responded. While I was gone from table, manager brought our dessert but said nothing. Later waiter said dessert was comped. So, why didn't the manager just say, "I'm sorry about your meal, this dessert is comped"? Odd. Nice place and we had nice appetizers. Not sure I'd try again.Special Features:
- Great Service and FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/17/2014Roy's has been one of our family's favorites for years and continues to be. The food is consistently delicious and service perfect.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great RestaurantChristmasDinerDined on 9/14/2014Another great dinner and promotion at Roy's! I'm glad you are in the neighborhood, and provide many opportunities to come and enjoy new food and drink!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cold Edamame and serviceAaronDined on 9/14/2014Our waiter treated us almost like we did not exist. Our bill was 73$ for the two of us and it was obvious he was put off that we didn't order more. The Edmame was cold and when we asked for a replacement.... it never came. Finally, we aked another server and it came but again cold. This was my fiance' birthday and they put some ribbon the table but did nothing more (oh, the maitre d did come buy and said "Happy Birthday" but when we explained our issues, he just apologized and moved on. We won't be back. Our server did not deliver our food, he was virtually never present and I had to chase down the hostess to give her my credit card because we couldn't find him for 15 minutes - no exaggeration). We tipped well but probably a mistake.Special Features:
- We are glad we revisited Roy'sPeteHVIPDined on 9/13/2014We had not been to a Roy's for years but are glad we revisited. The service was great and the food was outstanding. I had the Hamachi which was as good as I have ever had including Hawaii. My wife and I had the butterfish and it melted in your mouth. Roy' has won us back as regulars.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/5/2014wait was 20 min over our reservation and we got there a good amount of time before our reservation. waiting for food as well took awhile. we were there for 2 hours. they did bring out a complimentary appetizer plate for my little one who was hungry though. excellent service just took forever to eat.Special Features:
- oldproOldproDined on 8/31/2014Other than messing up the reservation my checking us in under the wrong name, which resulted in not recognizing that it was our anniversary, the overall dinner was quite good. The portions were just the right amount and quite good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Taste of hawaiidisappointingVIPDined on 8/31/2014We first experienced Roy's in Maui and loved it. We then visited the Anaheim location and were seriously disappointed. We cautiously visited UTC and were pleasantly surprised to find the same friendly service and great food as the original experience. The menu is unique and therefore a good choice for a break from "normal" a/k/a same old even if tasty. We will certainly revisit again in the near future.Special Features:
- maryDined on 8/31/2014I'm more than a little disappointed that so much has been removed from the bar bites menu, including the coconut drink my husband loves so much. Don't remember exactly what it's called, frappe maybe? Apparently it's been removed altogether. The rest of our night was good though. Still disappointing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely anniversary dinneralwayshungryVIPDined on 8/30/2014We arrived to celebrate our anniversary and were immediately greeted with, "Happy Anniversary" by the hostess. When we were seated, our table was decorated, John K. our server couldn't have been more gracious, and if you haven't had their chocolate souffle, OMG, it was amazing. They also took our picture and gave it to us in a souvenir frame. On another occasion, we celebrated a birthday at Roy's, and Roy's consistently creates memorable special occasions. Thanks for a very special evening!Special Features:
- Roy's ReviewluvgoodfoodDined on 8/30/2014Made a reservation for 7:45. Were seated at 8:15. No real communication from hostess unless I asked how much longer the wait would be. Much better experience if you dine earlier. Always great food, but asked for a second drink - which never came. Asked for more wasabi, which never came.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable mealdebgcDined on 8/30/2014Excellent service. We were provided the edamame when we sat down; great flavor. My "butterfish" was cooked perfectly. We took the kids. While the kids menu was pricey ($13), my kids loved it and said they felt well taken care of - included a little appetizer, meal, drink and dessert. We had the chocolate souffle which was outstanding.Special Features:
- WonderfulaunttotwoDined on 8/30/2014I love the Torch lights outside. I reminds me of the islands. The food is delicious and presented so beautifully. My favorite dessert is the chocolate soufflé. The atmosphere is lovely. The waiters are attentive and remembered I preferred no ice in my water.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional experiencexyzaDined on 8/29/2014Food preparation and presentation were outstanding. Quality and flavors were exceptional. Service was the best.Special Features:
- Walked outSocalFoodieVIPDined on 8/29/2014I am a fan of Roy's for signature dishes, so it was disappointing to me that 3 favorite signature dishes were either 1. No longer available or 2. Recipe changed up at this location. Case in point: calamari, awesome dish with chili sauce, now it's your typical breaded calamari you would get at any sports bar. This is one example. Server also acted "put out" when one request after another was no longer available. We sent the calamari back and ended walking out and made a quick reservation at Ruth Chris. This type of service wouldve NEVER happened at Newport, Anaheim or even Marina location. Will not be coming back.
- foodie99VIPDined on 8/25/2014Been to many different Roy 's. The food quality of this location is the worst. But, Roy's is Roy's, I will still go Roy's, but just not going to be this one.
- Amazingly satisfying & consistentFoodieVIPDined on 8/23/2014We started dinning at Roy's about two years ago. We started in Hawaii and then continued in San Diego. I think we're up to about six visits and have enjoyed every one of them. The service, food and ambiance are all top notch. I highly recommend Roy's.Special Features:
- Food good/Service BADMars28Dined on 8/23/2014I've eaten at Roy's before and, as usual, the food here was excellent; love the butterfish, the lobster roll appetizer and of course the chocolate soufflé - no complaints there. HOWEVER, our server was the worst I've had at any restaurant. Ignored us the entire meal, even when he finally came by to clear our plates he didn't speak or ask if we needed anything. We felt as though they just wanted the table back, even though we'd been there barely an hour. When I finally asked a bus boy for more wine, our server came by and said "You want more wine?" very unfriendly. When he brought the bill, he slapped it on our table as he walked by - very rude! Maybe he was having a bad night but a simple "so sorry, I'm swamped" would have gone a long way.Special Features:
- FunAnonymousVIPDined on 8/22/2014We received a few gift cards to encourage us to try Roy's again. We're glad we did! The food is phenomenal. The sushi is some of the best we've had. The restaurant is v loud but is also a great place for families or groups. We had a good time & will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome Restaurant!!Mimi88Dined on 8/22/2014My husband and I had a great experience dining there. The survive is outstanding. The staff are very friendly. We'll definitely dine there again soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing for the PriceelandelsbVIPDined on 8/21/2014I'm a long-time Roy's patron. This visit & the 1 before were disappointing. Noise level was too high, food was inconsistent & entrees were mediocre. My old stand-by, the butter fish, was drowned in miso sauce. All I could taste was miso & not the flavor of the fish itself. While the wait-staff was friendly, the bus-person made us feel rushed & the edamame starter was never offered. On our previous visit, we had a reservation & yet waited 1/2 hr to be seated. We were then seated in a smaller dining room with 2 tables of families w/over-active (ill-behaved) children. The wait-staff walked back-n-forth through the dining room to/from the kitchen & at one point a wait-staff carried the garbage through to the kitchen...unacceptable!!!
- Love Roy'sgrrrDined on 8/17/2014Roy's is one of our favorites, always something special...great new items and memorable favorites. The Szechuan Spiced Pork Ribs (appetizer or meal) and the Pineapple Cake with Coconut Ice Cream dessert are amazing. Ask about their prix fixe and other specials for great values and tasting opportunities. Our latest experience was made even better by Cody. Roy's waitstaff is consistently personable, knowledgeable and well-trained, however Cody raised the bar even higher. We had so many questions this visit yet Cody was patient, knowledgeable, helpful and has a great sense of humor. My husband, daughter and I all had a great meal and time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Closest to Hawaii without a planeLaventuresDined on 8/16/2014We love Roy's for their friendly, fresh delivery of our favorites from the islands. We love Hawaii and when we are missing our second home (which is often) we run to Roy's for a shot of the aloha flavors and ambience.Special Features:
- NettyDined on 8/14/2014Exceptionally pleasant all employees greet and seem very sincere about thanking you for coming to the restaurant and wanting you to enjoy your experience. The food was wonderful....nice treat.Special Features:
- carmelDined on 8/12/2014Good service, good fish - can be a bit noisy (small dining room better for conversation)Special Features:
- AnnieDined on 8/10/2014Our waiter was outstanding - friendly and attentive but not overly so. It was a lovely dinner and I look forward to going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wery dsappointing....sdfoodieDined on 8/3/2014On our first visit to Roy's in over a year we experienced the same problem that has kept us away...both our entrees - the macadamia crusted ahi and lobster pot pie so salty they were inedible. My husband scraped the crust off his fish to be able to eat it. The lobster pie was mainly filled with chunks of potato and very little lobster. They made an adjustment to our bill but still a disappointing evening all around. We won't be back.
- I Always Leave HappyNadoBobDined on 8/2/2014My wife and I have dined here several times this year including taking in their extraordinary happy hour specials. Note a good way to introduce yourself to this restaurant. I like martini's and the bartender(s) know how to make a good one here. Caution just have one if you are driving. This time we started with the Auntie Leila roll, aka rainbow roll. Wow was this guy fresh. Next my wife and split the Caesar salad which is not very traditional but is very tasty. It is split able but if you like lots of greens better go for one for yourself. Finally I had the yellow tail on the chef's specials and it was quite frankly out of this world. It is all good, that is why "I always leave Happy"!Special Features:
- LoriVIPDined on 7/30/2014Not for people who like to talk and dine. Way too loud.Special Features:
- Good food; hostess needs some workhungarydinerDined on 7/29/2014Very good dinner for our son's 17th birthday. The boys loved the lobster potstickers appetizer and the seared sea scallops over pork bellies was excellent. Our waiter was good and very helpful when we informed him that our daughter has celiac disease. There were several gluten free options and he checked on a few others that weren't clearly labeled. The hostess however deserves about 1 star. We arrived about 10-15 minutes before our reservation. She told us they were setting our table right now. After seating everyone around us (now 15 minutes after our reservation) I asked her again - they were setting our table right now. Ended up waiting 40 minutes total because she forgot about us (we overheard her talking to her co-worker).I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent foodMiloDined on 7/29/2014We had the seafood pot and the ribeye steak. Both were exceptionally good. We also had an ebe roll which was amazing. The waitress was great and kept in contact on a regular basis.Special Features:
- DisappointedNancyVIPDined on 7/28/2014I have been to Roy's a number of times and always liked the food. I loved my scallop dish. It was incredibly tasty. However, the caesar salad was awful: wilted lettuce and a dressing that tasted like solid mayonnaise. There was no fresh lemon/anchovie taste or shaved parmesean. It was more like a salad you'd expect at a coffee shop. The waitress was annoying. She asked for our order after just 2 minutes of being seated. We ordered a glass of wine each immediately and thought this would give us a chance to take our time. The waitress was back about 4 times within 10 minutes. That doesn't even give you a chance to read the menu. The young man who served the coffee was great, however.
- Started poor but ended wellRussoRantsAndRavesDined on 7/26/2014Thank goodness that we had a great server (Jamie?) b/c he made up for the lack of service that the hostess had. He took notice and brought us free potstickers. We ordered the scrumptous Ebi roll & Lobster Pot Pie and enjoyed having edamame instead of bread. Stuffed from our appetizers, we asked to have the pot pie boxed. Jamie asked if everything was delicious. We were ready to pay using our coupon that we received in the mail however the manager promptly came to our table and apologized for the poor service at the beginning of our experience and informed us that he was comping our meal. It wasn't necessary but he insisted and we gladly accepted. We will go back only because Jamie and the manager provided excellent service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Roy's NEVER disappointsSDJerryDined on 7/26/2014I have never received such wonderful service as I received at Roy's on July 26, 2014, which equaled the level of service we get at Roy's every single time we go there. They actually make us feel as if we are coveted patrons and they bend over backwards to make everything perfect. And they do. Their staff is clearly the best in the business, exceptionally well-selected and trained. Oh, yeah, the food is simply amazing too. Roy's is, far and away, my favorite seafood restaurant. Period. I love going to Roy's.Special Features:

Why you cant judge a Chromebook by the cover

Just as tablet makers like Apple pack 80 percent of PC functionality into a slim new format, Chromebook makers bundle a different, but just as essential, subset of PC features, in a familiar-looking hardware package.
The two moves are a pincer attack on the traditional PC.
A wake-up call from Acer
Spending a week with Acers C720 Chromebook was a wake-up call.
At first glance the C720 isnt promising. Its a NZ$400 laptop. How could something that price deliver the goods? How could it possibly excite someone who has been writing about technology for over 30 years?
Acers Chromebook hardware specification is far from fancy. The C720 screen measures 11.6 inches and resolution is just 1388 by 768. My phone has more pixels
Most phones also have more computing power than the C720′s Celeron processor. Many do better than 4GB of Ram and the C720′s 16GB SSD.
Power doesnt come into it
In truth the hardware barely matters. Much of the important processing is done elsewhere. The most important thing in a Chromebook box is the operating system: Chrome OS.
Like the hardware, on paper Chrome OS promises little. Although it is based on Linux, in effect it is simply a swept-up version of Googles Chrome browser.
You could be forgiven for dismissing Chromebook as another netbook-style flash in the pan. It may look that way if youve spent the last 25 years welded to Microsofts operating systems and software. After all, the PC era was all about delivering ever more power and features.
Yet that personal computing model was already being questioned by netbooks and phones before Apple unleashed the first iPad tablet. It turns out most users dont need all that power, expense and complexity in a traditional PC. They never did.
The dark side of the Chromebook
Three things stand between the Chromebook and widespread acceptance.
First is a growing suspicion of Googles business model. The company wants to know far too much about customers. Its main business is selling advertising.
Second, there are still a few things that you cant do that well with Chrome OS. Its not good for content creation, even web design is tricky.
Third, Chrome faces a confusing challenge from within Google. Earlier this month hardware makers were showing Android-based laptops.
Destination or journey?
I suspect the Chromebook in its current form is a transitional product. Whats clear is that Google and Chromebook makers are on to something worthwhile. Its a direction worth exploring and one I will keep an eye on.

Sage Weekly Letter
- Posted by Robert Sinn

Great Expectations
It is always interesting to analyze the evolution of market expectations in order to gain a better understanding of where the least expected scenarios may lie. From August through late November markets dealt with an endless array of eurozone fears, hope, and speculation. The base case is now for the eurozone to "muddle along" towards a fiscal union under some yet to be determined federal structure – in the meantime the market has decided that the ECB's cheap money and lax collateral requirements will be enough to take the worst scenarios off the table.
There was also this not so small concern about a China hard landing which would crush commodities and emerging markets. Once again, the market appears to have taken the worst case scenarios off the table – the base case is now that the PBOC will ease policy allowing China to continue to grow at a steady pace (roughly 8%). The PBOC policy easing in the midst of a massive property bubble is eerily reminiscent of Fed actions beginning in August 2007 after the Fed realized it had vastly underestimated the scale of the US housing bubble.
Of course, there are also other issues facing equity markets such as US corporate profit & economic growth, but with the average analyst estimate calling for north of $106/share in S&P 500 ($SPY $SPX) earnings the tone is decidedly optimistic. Perhaps the most interesting transformation in market psychology over the past several months pertains to the US housing market: The base case view is now that housing has bottomed with only a few holdouts still calling for lower prices ahead for housing. The housing optimists have put their money where their mouths are as evidenced by the charts of some housing related equities:
Click to enlarge
If the optimists are proven to be correct and Europe manages to muddle along towards a viable fiscal union, China manages to pull off a soft landing, and US corporate profitability remains at record levels – Then 13 x $106/share in earnings seems like a reasonable target for the S&P 500 in 2012 which would bring the index back up to or slightly above its 2011 high of 1370. The problem for the bulls is that this target lies only slightly more than 6% above Friday's closing level; therefore, I anticipate the progress toward the 1370s to be uneven and full of minor bouts of euphoria and panic as equities attempt to climb the proverbial wall of worry.
I am most optimistic on the US and US multi-national corporations and I am least optimistic on Europe and economic growth in the largest members of the eurozone. Whereas, I would be lying if I said that I have a strong opinion on China – I view China as a behemoth that faces a multitude of serious demographic and economic challenges over the coming years. However, China also has vast resources which will help it to deal with these significant challenges. Bill Hester at Hussman Funds does an exemplary job of outlining Five Global Risks to Monitor in 2012, risk #5 is probably the most underappreciated and least understood risk.
While I continue to believe that the market's upside will be contained by significant macro headwinds, I am not highly bearish on US equities. Friday's closing level of 1289 is still well within my base case range of 1160-1370 for the S&P 500 in 2012. As Derek Hernquist often points out: "Avoidance of future regret is a major driver of market activity". For the past several weeks the focus has been on avoiding missing out on potential market upside, there may be a little more juice left in this bottle before the tables turn once again toward avoiding downside.
The overall equity market structure is much healthier than it has been since the beginning of 2011 -Correlations between individual equities have drastically declined and we have witnessed a significant sector rotation, moreover there are a multitude of charts in confirmed breakouts or on the verge of breakouts:
$FDX Daily
$XLV weekly (Health care ETF)
After all the turmoil of the last decade it is pretty amazing to think that large cap technology ($QQQ) is less than 3% from 11-year highs (which could be achieved this week if $GOOG, $INTC, and $MSFT knock the cover off the earnings ball):
However, there are also some signs that not all is well such as heavy distribution in $IBM, a bearish candle formation (evening star) in the energy sector ($XLE), and a bearish RSI divergence on the 60-minute SPY chart:
In summary, the fear of future regret is fairly balanced at this point in time; however, the scales are likely to be tipped in one direction very soon with earnings season and a steady dose of euro news being the primary catalysts over the coming weeks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An investigation has found the District of Columbia government is allowing private investors to pursue foreclose on hundreds of homes over unpaid tax bills, but many debts are less than $500.
The Washington Post (http://wapo.st/13v2OI9 ) reports the district government for decades has placed liens on properties when homeowners did not pay their tax bills. Liens are sold at auction for investors to collect the debts.
But the program has grown into a system where $500 tax bills morph into $5,000 debts. Investors charge homeowners thousands in fees.
Retired Marine Sgt. Bennie Coleman lost his home two years ago over a $134 property tax bill. Another woman lost her home to a Maryland investor over a tax debt of $45 while she was struggling with Alzheimer's.
Many foreclosures target poor neighborhoods.

When i first started out (very first shoot) I was offered 30$ for 2 models and my portfolio was filled with iphone pictures of makeup looks done in my room. The pictures may be crap quality but everyone has to start SOMEWHERE. Everyone has their FIRST photoshoot. After I did that shoot I had 2-3 good pictures up on my port. I was lucky enough to have some one "trust" my iphone pictures. Dont look at the quality of the picture, look at the quality of the makeup.
20$ first shoot to see their skills.
35$-40$ If you like their work.
To me this is like asking what do you pay a plummer who is just starting out .....or a gardener ????? If you like them and trust them , pay what youd pay any makeup artist on your team , I have always charged a fair market value price for my work from the day I started , of course now my rates are higher but fair is fair , and if you think they are hacks ....... ask them to do a test shoot with you first to see if the team is a macth , but if your going to pay ,,,,, pay
good for you... the synergy of an established team is a wonderful thing to behold... albeit would suggest you use the Mayhem "Casting" function rather than placing this in your profile...
My question to you is why are you not using Mari Perri the make-up artist you collaborated with on your avatar? Her work certainly enhanced this talent's latent beauty... nurturing a working relationship is an excellent way to build a team...
Friends with no portfolio? would have significant reservations about their knowledge and tenure with sanitary technique... talent sans professional training (formal or mentoring) would not be a choice for my team, let alone even consider recompense... enough said...
Applying common sense...
1) The presence or absence of a portfolio isn't as important as proof that they can do the job. iPhone pictures can indeed be sufficient to prove their abilities. After all, you are hiring them as MUA/stylist, not as photographers.
2) One possible benefit for TF* situations is to get some kind of track record for people who might become part of your team in the future. If you don't know if these people can do the job for you, set up a TF* session first.
3) More than anything else, rates are set by the local supply & demand of suitable people. Photographers, models, MUAs, & stylists are all working in a competitive business. What is the going rate in your town? (Corollary: the rates in towns that are 1,000 miles away from you are not overly relevant).
Good luck.
I TF thru my first several shoots (not because I didn't have skills) to establish a proper port. Even after I began makeup work I still TF my way to a proper MUA port and again when I started wardrobe styling. It's part of those dues you have to pay IMHO.
Now that I'm creating the teams, I still do unpaid tests on a similar project to ensure when we get to paid work that everyone is capable, works together properly & is worth the $$ we've asked for.

It may not come as a surprise that the reason Mr. Gold is so good at deal-making and contracts—aside from his true identity—is he's a lawyer. So, when Mary Margaret (Snow White) is the prime suspect in the murder of Kathryn Nolan (Abigail), he offers his services. Mary Margaret, as wary of Gold's motives as anyone else, has no choice but to trust him. She follows his legal advice, often with disastrous results. But the morning before Mary Margaret is to be taken to Boston for her trial, Kathryn Nolan reappears, apparently having been abducted by someone. Wonder who would know anything about that?

Historic Index Update
We have now updated the Historic Index for this month, so that it now contains link data all the way from June 2006 through to January 21th 2011.
The vital statistics as of today are:
Historic Index
Pages crawled
Unique URLs
Historic Index
Backlinks Date range:
20 Jun 2006 to 21 Jan 2011.
Index built on: 8 Feb 2012.
6 Responses to "Historic Index Update"
When I can start use it. I'm waiting.
hi there, i have some error when i check my page crawled used yahoo bing webmaster tools (yaho is bing=bing is yahoo lol im very confused about it), mybe you can explain me why i have this error, cause this is my first time learn about SEO and bloging, and i'm still no have PR cause my site is newbies :p
I am not sure the translation made much sense – but in any event we cannot comment on Yahoo/bing.
When I use Majestic Site Explorer with fresh index for my site PVC stolarija I got 149 external links. With historic index that number is 2.153
Very Large a difference ?!
Yes. Fresh Index only contains links that are crawlers managed to revisit or rediscover within a 30 day period. If all your links are on blog pages that don't, themselves, have strong link equity, then they get devalued by Fresh over time this way. However, they remain in the Historic index, where we have data going back over 5 years.
