Interview with SpectreInterview with SpectreIntroducing Spectre!1. What is your name?I go by Spectre, though I did consider Night Shadow a bunch of other cliche' names for a heroine such as myself.2. Do you know why you're named that?Mostly because of my style. I prefer to remain in the shadows and strike with the element of surprise on my side.3. Are you single or taken?It's kind of complicated, I'm sort of seeing a guy I work with when not wearing the mask...except I only see him when I have the mask on. Someday that may change but taking it sort of slow right now...I'm not quite sure how he would react to that news...4. Have any powers or abilities?I have slightly boosted strength and athletic ability, as well as a high resistance to most poisons and chemicals. I also have an amazingly high pain threshold, which can be a hindrance sometimes.5. What's your eye color?Brown6. What's your hair color?Dark Brown7. Do you have any family members?None left. Lost dad to a car accident, sister to a
Interview with Steel AngelInterview with Steel AngelIntroducing Steel Angel!1. What is your name?Emily...uh...I mean Steel Angel, sorry, still sort of new at this whole heroine thing.2. Do you know why you're named that?When I first used my suit of armor the people I rescued said they were saved by a steel angel when they were interviewed on the news so I decided to just run with it.3. Are you single or taken?I am blessed to be taken by a beautiful but shy woman who is my best friend and crime fighting partner. I'd say more but she might get embarrassed I am talking about her, hehe...4. Have any powers or abilities?I do not personally possess any powers, but my armor suit has plenty of them. I can shoot energy blasts from my hands, miniature rockets, I can fly and tap into communication systems, and I am immune to most weapons and artillery.5. What's your eye color?Light Brown6. What's your hair color?Brown with a few streaks of dark green7. Do you have any family members?Just my mother, my fathe
Interview with QuasarInterview with QuasarIntroducing Quasar!1. What is your name?My real name is Shylasa, though I do use an alias to protect myself. As a super heroine I am called Quasar.2. Do you know why you're named that?It is a name I took when I came to Earth, given that my abilities allow me to convert most forms of energy waves to boost my powers, it seemed an appropriate name.3. Are you single or taken?I am taken, though I am unable to divulge any details right now as a certain author would be upset with me for ruining yet to be told stories. 4.

Interview with Crimson DynamoInterview with Crimson DynamoIntroducing Crimson Dynamo, a smart and sexy heroine I'm sure most of you are just dying to hear from!1. What is your name?Crimson Dynamo, but I go by Crimson most of the time, it's a bit easier that way.2. Do you know why you're named that?Mainly because of my red hair, and I'm a dynamo/whiz with technical and science stuff. I only realized later on that it was the name of an Iron Man villain...no copyright infringement meant I promise!3. Are you single or taken?I am single at the moment, but seem to attract plenty of attention and have been lucky to share some nice quality time with a few very nice ladies over the course of my career... *blushes*4. Have any powers or abilities?I heal very quickly and I am a bit stronger than most people, but most of my abilities come from my gadgets and technical know-how along with parts of my costume like my repulsor boots and wrist mounted stun blasters.5. What's your eye color?Blue6. What's your hair color
Answers to Questions - Part 1Answers to Questions A Moon Shadow AdventurePart 1 My long dark blue cloak flutters behind me as I slowly descend from the sky, landing softly on the soles of my white knee high boots. Above me, silvery clouds slip silently through the night sky, allowing the glowing light of the moon to illuminate the cemetery I have just landed in. I go solid for a moment, enjoying the crisp night air against my skin as I begin to silently walk through the rows of grave stones, the only sounds being the fluttering of my cloak and the croaking of a few frogs from the nearby creek. It is late Spring in Steel City, but mother nature has yet to yield her full warmth of the season. The cold air against my skin should bother me and make me shiver, but it doesn't. I am dead after all, and dead people aren't supposed to feel anything. Then again they aren't supposed to be able to change from a ghost to a solid state being, or wear a sexy costume and wield spectral weapons to fight crime either.
Along Came an OrchidCrimson Dynamo Origins SeriesAlong Came an Orchid - Part 1The soft moonlight beamed down over a sleepy section of town, the only sound coming from the clicking of a pair of high heeled shoes against concrete. The sound drifted through the otherwise quiet night air, as a lone figure made their way down the sidewalk, the only distinguishable feature being her long flowing hair. It was nearly midnight in Steel City, and at least in this part of town, there wasn't a soul to be seen. The clicking sounds echoed off the dimly lit walls of a dark alley, as the striking figure came into view of one of the few street lights. She was tall and slender, wearing an outfit that would have stood out like a sore thumb in even the darkest parts of town. The lovely young woman was wearing what appeared to be a magenta colored leotard with a plunging neckline and gold outlines on the straps that ran up to her neck, and a flowing purple skirt that came down just below mid-thigh. Beneath the leotard she w
Interview with DiscordiaInterview with DiscordiaIntroducing Discordia!1. What is your name?My name is Discordia, pleasure to be here.2. Do you know why you're named that?My name is taken from the name of the goddess of chaos and strife, due to my vast knowledge of chaos magic. The name has also been passed down through my family for generations by those who wore this mask.3. Are you single or taken?I am single right now, though their are a couple of naughty fae sisters who might change that...4. Have any powers or abilities?I can summon various forms of chaos magic, mostly chains and bladed chains that aid me in battle with my adversaries.

Interview with Pink FalconInterview with Pink FalconIntroducing Pink Falcon!1. What is your name?I am the Pink Falcon, of course I won't be divulging my secret identity!2. Do you know why you're named that?Well I always thought Falcons were cool animals and since I rely mostly on speed and quick attacks like they do, thought it would be appropriate. The pink comes from my costume, which originally was designed to throw off my enemies, they wouldn't take someone wearing so much pink seriously giving me a bit of a psychological edge.3. Are you single or taken?I am currently taken by a lovely blonde heroine known as the Shadow Snake, hehe4. Have any powers or abilities?I actually do not have any powers, just my natural abilities and several gadgets to aid me in my crime fighting endeavors.5. What's your eye color?Blue6. What's your hair color?Chestnut Brown7. Do you have any family members?Just my parents, though they have separated, I still try to see them both when I can.8. Oh? And, how about pet

What is your name?Tiffany, but everyone seems to just call me Shepard all the time...2. Do you know why you're named that?It was the name my parents gave me, apparently one of my famous ancestors was named that to.3. Are you single or taken?*Grins* Oh so many lovely blue Asari...but there is only one for me.. *gives Liara a wink* So yes...very much taken...4. Have any powers or abilities?Well I'm part cyborg...*laughs* I can take the head off a Marauder at 300 yards with an M4...even Garrus can't do that...and I make better eggs than Vega..Vega: "Come on Lola...that's cold..."5. What's your eye color?Green6. What's your hair color?Red7. Do you have any family members?My parents were killed by Battarian slavers when I was growing up, so no, at least not technically. Garrus, Tali, Liara, Wrex and a few select others have become my new family.8. Oh? A
The Prevailing ArgumentIt was on one of my frequent walks through the neighborhood that I happened to meet the new arrivals, a pair of dusky beauties. I lifted my hand to them in greeting while strolling past; the younger of the two smiled happily and waved back, while the older woman gave me a skeptical look before her grudging acknowledgment. Thus I dubbed them Bliss and Prudence. I've since learned their actual names, but they are not as flattering, or, frankly, as descriptive, so I continue to employ the nicknames I gave them on that first meeting.Bliss spent a great deal of time tending the flowerbeds in front of her home, so we exchanged many friendly greetings over the next few days. Prudence's job kept her away during the day, so our encounters were infrequent and altogether less cordial, although she seemed marginally less hostile over time. Perhaps Bliss convinced her I was a harmless old man taking his daily exercise and not a worthwhile target of scorn. Which could not have been further from the
Queen City Dies Laughing Chapter OneQueen City Dies Laughinga Novel of Queen City Valor (for NatNoWriMo)by White OwlThe rain had settled to a mist as I stood outside the Goldline Chili shop in University Heights. I pushed my glasses back up my nose, then smoothed down the velour of my blue minidress. Small children looked at my green skin, while their older fathers smiled approvingly."Lookin' good, lady," was one of the more polite comments I heard, along with "Wow a real Trek alien!" I was pleased with my last minute choices; though the original green alien outfit had caused quite a stir a few nights back at the "Out of this World" party put on by the Queen City museum center.Tonight though, I was merely dressing up to hand out candy. My apartment was on the fifth floor of a locked building (well when Tiffany remembered anyhow) and rarely got visitors. But Alex and Beth usually needed someone to provide candy at the restaurant. Since both of th
An Interview with White OwlJackie Marks brushed her golden blonde hair until it shone. She fidgeted in the makeup chair, wanting to make sure everything was perfect. It was a special night on her Queen City Newsmakers show.The lights came up, and Jackie smiled. "Welcome to Newsmakers. Our first interview is with a woman who constantly puts her life on the line, with no recompense. Is she just altruistic, or is there another motive? Ladies and Gentlemen, Our first guest....White Owl.I walked out onto the set, butterflies in my stomach. I could face down giant robots, mad scientists and more...but the idea of an interview scared me to death. Still I sat in the interview chair and tried to relax. "Hello Jackie," I said."And a good evening to you, White Owl," smiled Jackie Marks, flaunting her nearly perfect body beneath her copper silk blouse and tight black skirt.I settled in and the questions came in...So, what is your name?My real n
Queen City Dies Laughing Chapter TwoChapter Two"Ready in Five Ms Marks...Three two"....The camera's red light glowed and the music for Good Morning Queen City played over the speakers. Jackie Marks sat upright at the news desk, smiling a wide pearly smile. Her blonde hair hung stylishly over her red blazer."Good Morning Queen City, I'm Jackie Marks and here's what's making news in your hometown."The news was light; after all the late rain had kept the trick or treating light and there had been no reports of any child getting poisoned. Jackie led with the story of the Buffoon's return and his trick on Lieutenant Reed. "And joining us now in the studio is Captain Don Winslow, the commander of the Special Crimes Unit. Captain, I have reports from Meadowview Asylum that the Buffoon was under lock and key and heavy sedation. How did he escape?"Winslow fidgeted, but was glad his department was off the hook for the Buffoon's escape. "Jackie, as n
Queen City Dies Laughing chapter 15Reed rolled up on the scene, with his siren quiet. The Belvedere looked out of place among the more modern rides, bur Reed didn't really care. Detroit steel meant so much to him, and Betty was his pride and joy. He could see the rest of the SCU cars and officers surrounding the comedy shack and shook his head. Like a lot of other Midwest cities, the recession had hit the small businesses of Queen City hard. This had once been a thriving little entertainment district, and now it was mostly boarded up. A lonely bar on the corner was the only sign of life; and even it looked like a dive. The air was filled with a chill and the smell of fresh baked goods.Reed found Johnson and asked the tall officer for a situation report."All quiet boss," said Johnson. "We have an eyewitness placing Sterne in the theater about 30 minutes ago, and no one's seen him exit. We have it covered on all sides.""What's on the left and right?" asked Reed."Left building
Queen City Dies Laughing Chapter 10Queen City Dies Laughing, Chapter 10NOVEMBER 11Michiko Ohara adjusted the Sam Browne belt on her dress uniform. She buffed the gold badge on her breast once more, attacking an imaginary smudge. With a frown, she grabbed her purse and her white gloves, then snugged up the black armband one more time.At 45, Ohara was one of the youngest police chiefs in the country and the first Asian American chief in Queen City. She smiled as she remembered walking the beats in Olympia, before moving up through the ranks both there and then moving to Queen City as a lieutenant, to head up the juvenile division. Her record there was remarkable, cutting gang violence and reducing juvenile crime in Queen City by 30 percent. A diligence to duty, to regulations, and a willingness to bend the rules when needed made Ohara popular with the FOP and with city hall.When her mentor, Captain Pettingill had been made commissioner, Ohara had been promoted to his position. And w
Queen City Dies Laughing...Chapter 4Queen City Dies Laughing, Chapter 4"Athena my dear, it's delightful to see you again. And you're the answer to my unspoken prayers and wishes." My uncle Harry Fort smiled a dazzling smile as he charmed me through lunch at the Tenderloin Grill."I suspected as much when you called and said you were in town for a week's performance at the new Joker's Wild club, Uncle Harry," I smiled. "What's wrong? Your swords lose their edge?""Alas no," said Uncle Harry, mopping his brow with a large silk handkerchief. As he did, several more handkerchiefs slipped from his pocket, more and more; an ever increasing string of them ending with a black and white checked one that stated "The End" Despite having seen the trick a multitude of times, I still laughed."No, Athena my dear, something far worse. Myra left me.""Again?" I snorted. "She leaves you every ye
White Owl: In the Beginning? Dust swirled down in front of my eyes. The dust, dirt and debris of civilizations dead for more than 2,000 years filtered into my clothes, hair and occasionally my mouth. Whoever said archaeology was all glamor had certainly never really worked a dig before. The sun was arcing higher into the sky over Athens, and I worked with a slow, methodical pace. A small chip here, a soft brushing there; slowly the outline of the unknown temple was taking place."Whatever possessed me to do this?" I muttered, mopping the sweat from my forehead for the fifth time that morning.I had just uncovered a small piece of alabaster when I heard Markus and Jason laugh. Whirling, I saw the water balloon; but it was too late to duck. I was soaked to the skin in a matter of seconds. Though the cool water felt good, I was angry because they had gotten the best of me. I vowed to get even with them as I returned to my digging. The piece of alabaster was wet, but the water had cleared a bit more of the shard away.
Interview with Royal ProtectorateInterview with Royal ProtectorateIntroducing the British bombshell herself! Royal Protectorate!1. What is your name?My name is Elizabeth, as a heroine I used to go by Royal Protectorate, though now I just go by Protectorate since I am no longer in the service of the British government.2. Do you know why you're named that?I was a symbol for British Patriotism in the second world war, similar to your Captain America.3. Are you single or taken?It is somewhat complicated, my heart belongs to someone, someone I hope will hang around a bit more often.4. Have any powers or abilities?I am super strong and invulnerable and impervious to most forms of damage. I can also fly pretty fast and I age at a much slower rate than normal humans.5. What's your eye color?Light Blue6. What's your hair color?Chestnut Brown7. Do you have any family members?No related family anymore, my mother passed away when I was a little girl.

Get in the Christmas spirit by making candy cane vodka, ice cream and centrepieces
Got tons of candy canes and you're not sure what to do with them? You could eat them all, but if you're the type who would rather get creative, try these fun, delicious and crafty uses instead.
You can also make Candy Cane Bark...similar to Almond bark just candy canes instead. All you need is 6 regular sized candy canes and 2 cups of White Chocolate chips. First, you'll need to crush the candy canes into bits and pieces (pieces about the size of an almond are fine). Take care that the pieces don't fly everywhere and you don't want them to get wet, so make sure the counter or surface you're working on is dry. Then melt two cups of WHITE chocolate in the microwave, stopping every 30 - 40 seconds to stir. When the white chocolate is melted, add the candy cane pieces to it, stir and then pour the mixture onto a cookie sheet, spreading it evenly ( about 1/4 in. thick). Once the mixture is cooled, it may be cut it into pieces (to your liking) then refrigerated until firm. Enjoy!! Tip: This is a great activity to do with children and you can even bag the candy cane bark in fancy plastic sandwich bags, tie wiith ribbon and now you have stocking stuffers and gifts for your children's friends/classmates.
Pick up some tips for decorating the living room of a small apartment in this interior design video from Howcast.

If the house advantage is 98% and we are still talking 20g per card, then the expected value is 2% of 20g or 40s.
My experience with half a dozen or so for the novelty of it and from AH scans of flipped cards people are trying to sell show it to be a little more than that, around 60s. Then again, that's just a showing of those trying to sell flipped cards, not those who vendor them.
Another website did a sample of 402 and came with an estimated 1g20s92c
Sadly, if all the various fortunes were of equal weight, given that there are 58 possible fortunes, then it would be 109g66d55c..
These are not hard statistics and should not be taken as fact. These are very much napkin math statistics off the top of my head and based on this article and wowhead. It seems to me that everything I've read shows it to be around 1g. Since the parchment costs half that and I doubt the ink will ever drop to 50s ea, I doubt you will ever see them sell so low.

Sergio Aragones and the Art of Pantomime Cartooning | The Comics Journal: Sergio Aragones draws funny pictures. The same might be said for any cartoonist who cultivates the public's risibilities. In fact, in the popular mind, "drawing funny pictures" is the job description for all cartoonists. But in Aragones' case, the description is not only apt: it is literally true. He is that rara avis who specializes in wordless visual comedy–the pantomime cartoon. His pictures–by themselves, without verbal accompaniment–provoke the laughter.

Mumblegore Directors Are Changing Indie Horror Films | LA Weekly: And so a generation of writers, directors, actors and producers – all in their early to mid 30s, all based in Los Angeles – found each other and together found their voice by making horror films. While a parallel class of young filmmakers on the East Coast found critical acclaim directing micro-budget mumblecore dramas, L.A.'s indie crew is carving a riskier path to lasting success with micro-budget cerebral chillers that eschew cheap kills and studio interference. Call it mumblegore.
2001italia: 2001: The aliens that almost were: In a film like 2001, a project that started with the explicit purpose of investigating the possibility of extraterrestrial life, it comes as no surprise that Kubrick decided very soon in the production to tackle the problem of how to actually depict the extraterrestrials themselves.

Stephen King Movies Guide – Stephen King Movies and Shows A to Z – Esquire:
Dwarf Fortress: A Marxist Analysis | Notes & Commentaries: the game Dwarf Fortress is amenable to a Marxist analysis precisely by understanding its relationship to the central characteristics of the feudal mode of production.(1) This can be grasped by looking at the main dynamics of the game: the division of labor, the reproduction of dwarven society, the economic system and trade, and their integration.
Masters of their universe: When they began writing their game, eventually to be called Elite, eventually to be a landmark in the history of computer games, what they were thinking of conformed pretty much to the standard video-game formulas of the time, albeit with extra graphical whizz. They wanted exciting space combat in three dimensions against enemy craft that exhibited some degree of tactical guile. Except that, come to think of it, programming the tactics for an organised, military enemy was probably out of reach. They needed disorganised villains. Who fit the bill in the science-fiction universe? Pirates. OK then: 3D combat against space pirates. And they also wanted there to be a bit of the game where you had to dock your spaceship with a space station, á la 2001. They thought Stanley Kubrick's docking sequence was deeply cool, and they wanted one of their own.
▶ GHOST BURGER – YouTube: Two kids go hunting for ghosts to help their dad run a burger cafe. An epic sequel to "T is For Toilet [ABCs of Death]", 12 years after the accident.
INCORPORATED – 30 minute corporate thriller on Vimeo: A disturbing tale of obscene salaries, glass towers, vicious business deals, and bringing the whole thing down from the inside.
Orgesticulanismus – Mathieu Labaye on Vimeo: Great tribute to his father Benoît Labaye, suffered from a multiple sclerosis at 29 years old. Benoît Labaye had been confined to a wheelchair since age 40 and died at 55 years old the 04.22.2006, as a result of a pneumonia.
In the movie, you can hear Benoît Labaye speaking: "I think it's by the movement you appropriate your own life. By the freedom to come and go, to have gestures of love, tenderness, anger, whatever. When you are deprived of movements, as I am and as a lot of other people are, I think if you want to survive, you must reinvent the movement differently. And so what happens inside my head isn't purely brain, purely intellectual. It's a way of recreating an inner space which is also my freedom."
The Decelerators on Vimeo: We've all noticed that time seems to move faster as we grow older – but what if you could build a machine that slowed time to the point of imperceptibility? In Mark Slutsky's gorgeous new film The Decelerators, a group of people manage to do just that – and the result is almost worthy of The Twilight Zone.
SHHH on Vimeo: "Shhh" is a tale about a young boy, who uses his imagination to overcome his monstrous bully at night. Tired of being scared, Guillermo eventually takes matters into his own hands. Inspired by the lucid dreams of director Guillermo del Toro during childhood.
▶ Perished (NSFW) – YouTube: Sometimes survival is worse than death… A man on the run finds himself locked in a shed amidst a zombie outbreak. He must rebuild his inner strength to confront his hears or face starvation. Written, directed and produced by Stefan A. Radanovich and Aaron McCann.

Jellyfish are taking over the seas, and it might be too late to stop them – Quartz: Humans may eventually act to reverse the boom in jellyfish blooms, given the material damage they cause.

How Google Converted Language Translation Into a Problem of Vector Space Mathematics | MIT Technology Review: he new trick is to represent an entire language using the relationship between its words. The set of all the relationships, the so-called "language space", can be thought of as a set of vectors that each point from one word to another. And in recent years, linguists have discovered that it is possible to handle these vectors mathematically. For example, the operation 'king' – 'man' + 'woman' results in a vector that is similar to 'queen'. It turns out that different languages share many similarities in this vector space. That means the process of converting one language into another is equivalent to finding the transformation that converts one vector space into the other.
Noam Chomsky on Singularity 1 on 1: The Singularity is Science Fiction!: During our 30 minute conversation with Noam Chomsky we cover a variety of interesting topics such as: the balance between his academic and his political life; artificial intelligence and reverse engineering the human brain; why in his view both Deep Blue and Watson are little more than PR; the slow but substantial progress of our civilization; the technological singularity…
▶ Beyond the Visible: The Story of the Very Large Array – YouTube: Created in 2013 as the new interpretive film for the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) public Visitor Center, this 24-minute production explores the synergies of technology and human curiosity that power the world's most productive radio telescope. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Jodie Foster (star of the film "Contact," which was based on the novel by Carl Sagan and filmed at the VLA), the program depicts many of the people whose diverse efforts enable the VLA to be a cutting-edge resource for astronomers and humanity worldwide.

▶ Daedelus: An Exclusive 12-Minute Set In Front Of Crazy Visuals [The Controllerist] – YouTube: The first episode of our new visually mind-bending music show The Controllerist features LA beat scene godfather and Monome master Daedelus, who came through and rocked an exclusive DJ set for us, synced to the mind-bending visuals of Beeple. One of Daedelus' most distinct traits (aside from his consistently fly formal wardrobe) is his live performance set up, an arsenal of Monomes. Every grid-based MIDI controller in the world borrows from the Monome, and creating live with it is an art unto itself. Daedelus is the absolute master of this craft.

Pattern Recognition #2: The Evolving Architecture of the Underground – Electronic Beats: The new music underground is an ongoing debate about the possibilities of music, typically conducted at some remove from big commerce. Ideally, it represents an infinite space of possibilities and developments with a coherent, roaming, collective focus acting upon it, like a democratically organized nomadic tribe made up of artists, scientists, and philosophers constantly wandering the universe with disaffected and infinitely open minds, always learning but never settling or capitalizing. In reality, the new music underground is a messy semi-anarchy of interests that make up the rules as they go along, don't communicate with great efficiency, or move as one.

Pasted! Wir sind die Zukunft der Musik – Soundstories – Sendungen – 1LIVE: Die Digitalisierung hat Musik verflüssigt: Auch für Laien ist es heute möglich, Remixes ihrer Lieblingsmusiken zu erstellen und über das Internet ein potentielles Millionenpublikum zu erreichen. Die Teilhabe an der Kulturproduktion war nie einfacher als heute, aber auch die Gefahr, mit dem Urheberrecht in Konflikt zu geraten. Was bedeuten die Veränderungen für die Musik: Wird die Zukunft eine Trivialisierung der Kultur mit sich bringen oder entsteht eine neue kreative ökonomie, die die alten Strukturen der Musikindustrie überwindet? Anhand von Texten der Blogger "Der Musikpartisane" und "Mashpussy" nimmt das Feature die Kontroverse um Mashups und Remixes unter die Lupe.
A Short History of the Highrise: "A Short History of the Highrise" is an interactive documentary that explores the 2,500-year global history of vertical living and issues of social equality in an increasingly urbanized world. The centerpiece of the project is four short films. The first three ("Mud," "Concrete" and "Glass") draw on the New York Times's extraordinary visual archives, a repository of millions of photographs that have largely been unseen in decades. Each film is intended to evoke a chapter in a storybook, with rhyming narration and photographs brought to life with intricate animation. The fourth chapter ("Home") comprises images submitted by the public. The interactive experience incorporates the films and, like a visual accordion, allows viewers to dig deeper into the project's themes with additional archival materials, text and miniature games.

Summer is here and so are the crowds. Read our tips on keeping track of your kids whether you're on vacation or just swinging by Target.With the tragic story of Madeline McCann coming to an end-- the case unsolved, has been closed. -- it's more important than ever, when taking off on a family trip to know the whereabouts of everyone in your clan.
We checked in with momlogic friend and safety expert Pattie Fitzgerald, founder of safelyeverafter.com who gave us a list of indispensable tips for keeping the whole family accounted for during summer excursions or just an ordinary trip to the mall.
1) Phone home
First and foremost, kids need to know your cell phone number. For young children, there are some great online companies that make adorable, personalized tattoos with your phone number.
2) Fluorescent kids
Dress kids in bright colors so they can be easily spotted in a crowd. Take a picture of them with your cell phone just before you leave the house!
3) Find safe help
If lost, children should ask a "mom with kids" for help. They can also FREEZE AND YELL, by staying in one place and shouting for mom or dad. In a store, kids can go to the CASH REGISTER PERSON, to ask for help.
4) Take giant steps
Use the 2 Giant Steps Rule: Kids can never be more than two giants steps away from you.
5) Stay inside
Remind your child to NEVER go out to the parking lot looking for you if you get separated. Tell them you'd never leave the store or park to wait in the car.
6) Set up a meeting place
With older children, decide upon on a "meet-up location" ahead of time. For example: "If we get separated, we'll meet at... the merry-go-round, lifeguard station #25, right underneath the big 'Target' sign near the entrance."
7) Out of sight--out of your mind
Talk to your kids before the outing. The rule is that you must always be able to SEE them and they must always be able to SEE YOU... simply put, remind them NO WANDERING without mom/dad/caregiver. Sounds simple, but keep reminding them periodically, especially if you think they're getting restless.
8) Learn to count
On family outings, have the kids take turns doing a "kid-count" after each ride, activity, or periodically during a hike or walk. This keeps everyone on their toes throughout the day.
9) Restrooms are not for resting
Always bring young children into the restroom with you. Avoid facilities that are down dark or long hallways. Look for well-lit restrooms in high traffic areas. Older children should use the buddy system; they should not enter a restroom alone.
10) Communicate, communicate, communicate
Teach children the "CHECK FIRST" rule. Kids must always check first with you or the grown-up in charge, before going anywhere in a public place, including another store, play area, the food court, restroom, hiking trail, etc.

Pink Pudica
Rare and Exotic
This semi dwarf evergreen is perfect for landscaping. Bunches of large pale pink petals with a thin line of dark pink around the edges. It has a long bloom season, is more cold tolerant and has beautiful strong perfumed flowers. .
Sale is for 2 Pink Pudica 10"-12" cuttings.
Plus one FREE BONUS mystery cutting.
Our cuttings come from our own trees grown in Florida.
Cuttings will be dipped in rooting hormone.
Leaves will be removed before shipping.
Planting instructions will be included with each order .
The Plumeria is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and delightful plants grown in the world.
Plumeria is also known as the Hawaiian Lei flower. The Plumeria is native to the tropical and subtropical areas of America and has spread to all the tropical areas of the world. It flourishes in Florida, Mexico, Hawaii, Central America as well as South East Asia.
Plumeria make
beautiful potted plants for the porch, patio or garden.
However, in milder climates, plumeria can be grown outdoors in the
ground, where they make a small beautiful landscape trees. When
temperatures dip into the low 40's they may be stored in their
containers or uprooted carefully trying to take as much root as
possible and stored over winter in a heated basement or garage
where temperatures are kept above freezing. As soon as temperatures
rise outdoors they can be brought out and planted again. They will
resume growth, leaf out and begin to grow as if nothing
Plumeria require very little care.
Caution - Over watering at the potting stage will rot your cutting. There are no roots at this time to take up water, so the cutting will rot. Too much water will induce growth and prevent the flowering process. Pot them in a well draining soil such as cactus mix. Lightly mist about once a week.

I have an ethical question. Is it wrong to use placebos?
I'm starting a rural business. Most of these people are very poor and even cynical about their situation. Now I have a plan to start businesses and learning but I first have to get past the mind set. If I were to offer a placebo pill that helps with "your finances and success" would that be wrong?
The idea is that with the business plans I want people to think that they CAN do this. To fight the ideas of "That this is too complicated or that it's just going to fail anyway". Placebo works on the mind but it's power lies in deceit or believe (maybe even faith). So is it wrong to tell people that this pill will help them get out of this bad situation (together with the community projects I have in mind)
Closing Statement from James van der Walt
Thank you all for a very good discussion to get a clearer view of what a placebo means. Also thank you Sietse Sterrenburg for the article you posted. I think it shows clearly what this discussion was about.
So in conclusion. A placebo is a trick to make your mind think you are being healed which then enables your to heal naturally. But this effect is based in deceit which is not ethical. It is much better to train people to use the power of their mind to get the same effect. The placebo has nothing to do with you getting better after all. Rather embrace the truth and enable people to help themselves.

Oct 21 2011: This is the magic feather syndrome from "Dumbo" and it is an totally appropriate way to proceed. The fact is, we have this theme in our stories ("You had the power all the time Dorothy") in every culture for a reason. The linear mind can only imagine what it has already seen to be true, and the best and simplest way to bypass that predjudice is to introduce a "magical" agent.
It is true that the same tool can be used for "evil" and in fact, pyramid schemes and get quick rich shemes are largely based on the same proposition. Even "housing prices always go up" could be argued as dependent on this principal. But so long as you are employing your placebo to assist others in gaining thier OWN dreams and goals and not enslaving them to your dreams or goals, I would say you are in the moral clear.

It's reported that two more games in EA's excellent Dead Space series are in the works, as well as a full-on feature film.
The film is to be helmed by Eagle Eye and Disturbia director D.J. Caruso - who has nothing to do with spinning tunes - claims the report, with producer seats going to Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, who are also doing the Gears of War movie.
The producers, EA and Caruso have been listening to takes from prospective writers, and once EA signs off on a creative direction the Dead Space film will be auctioned to studios. This will likely happen in September, says Variety.
Watch tons of other game videos in HD over on our video channel!
Dead Space, in case you still haven't played it (you numpty), is set in the 26th century in deep space, where an engineer who responds to a distress signal from a mining ship finds the vessel infested with monstrous creatures called Necromorphs. Dismemberment follows.
We're all for more Dead Space. Just take your time and don't bugger it up, EA.

2010 Toyota Avalon XL Review
This car is on the same frame,and chasse as the 350 Lexis. Basically, it is an ecomically Lexis. I love the ride and feeling of a heavy, large car.
This model does not have the garage openners or the seat memory..
Very Good. Very Dependable...would Provide My Daughter With One (if I Had A Daughter) — I love the quite and comfort, with the leather interior, of this car. .There are no rattles. This car should last a long time, with comfort and dependability over many cars. I love the power responce and breaking when in freeway traffic. In summary, this car is in a class above most cars.

Great Father's Day Present
(Chicago, IL) - June 21, 2011
I bought these for my husband for Father's Day and bought two pairs...one with a picture of each of our daughters. It was a great present that he will have forever...remembering how little our daughters were at one point.
Anniversary Gift a success
(Chesapeake Beach, MD) - April 24, 2011
I surprised my soon to be husband with these cuff links and put his coat of arms as the photo, he was surprised and thought they were really cool. He can't wait to wear them! His best man thinks they are very cool as well, so we might be giving them to the groomsmen as gifts at our wedding? Over all a good buy and shipping was fast!
big hit for fathers day

I purchased these cuff links for my husband to wear on our wedding day. I ordered them with pictures of his late mother in order to incorporate her in our special day. They were a surprise and I believe he absolutely loved them along with his family. They raved about them for hours after the wedding. It was such a special way to incorporate her in our ceremony.
Awesome gift for groom as wedding gift

I bought these for my husband to give them to him the day of our wedding with a picture of his grandfather who passed away. I ended up ordering them too late and gave them to him when we returned from our honeymoon. He loved them and it will be a gift he will have forever in memory of his grandfather.

On a November 1, 2010 night my husband took a picture of the moon, hard to do, came out great. So my son collects cuff links and I remembered that picture of the moon.
Then I thought of the Personalizationmall,and saw they had round cuff links so I took the picture and downloaded it to the "mall" and they put the moon right in the center of the cuff links, how fabulous is that.
Now forever my son will have his Dad's picture in his collection. These people are awesome. Have shopped for many things, everything perfect.
Big Hit

I ordered 5 sets of Favorite Photo cuff links to give as Father Day gifts. It was a big hit with all. Everyone loved them...father, brothers, brother-in-law and friend. Very unique and though I am not sure of the life expectancy, if picture will fade. If not, it is something that can be passed down for generations. I plan to inherit back the set given to my father and I can keep him with me when I wear them with my blouse, etc. I also plan to order a new for newlyweds expecting their first child in a few months. As soon as I get a picture, I will give them a unique gift as well.
Great Gift!!

I purchased these for my husband for fathers day and put our daughters hospital picture on them. The quality is great, it is exactly what I wanted them to look like. Also what I love is when you order them, the website gives you a chance to see what the cuff links are going to look like with your picture before you order them.
Just as described!

So excited to get my personalized cufflinks in the mail - they were just as described and just as they appeared in the "Review" section before you confirm your shipment. Quite happy with the purchase.
Happy with the cuff links
(Chicago, IL) - May 21, 2012
I have ordered from Personalization Mall in the past and the quality has been very good. I was excited to learn that this company had personalized cuff links to order. In all cases in the past, I received my order within a few days. In this case, it took a lot longer as the cuff links needed to be special ordered. I was told to expect them within 10 days to 2 weeks. Unfortunately, when the 2 weeks past, I was told my order needed to be re-done as there was a bubble in one of the cuff links. Untimately, I was very pleased with the cuff links, however they were a gift for my husband and I received them after his actual birthdate.

The quality of this item was awesome! I did not have a great photo to use, but it turned out beautiful! I gave this item 4 stars out of 5 only because it was just a tad bit smaller than what I was expecting (but still they looked beautiful on the shirt sleeve cuff), nevertheless, I'd buy them again because of how great they look. Everybody that saw them loved them.
Amazing Quality
(FONTANA, CA) - June 25, 2013
The cufflinks are beautiful! The pictures look perfect on the cufflinks! The colors are so vibrant. The personalization is perfect. The quality was made to last. Everyone that sees the cufflinks, loves them. Excellent product!!!

I gave them to my husband for Valentine's with our daughter's picture. Now he has a new way to show her off at meetings with clients.
Excellent Father's Day Gift
(Montclair, NJ) - June 24, 2011
Just purchased these cufflinks for my husband for Father's Day with a picture of our daughter and he absolutely LOVES them! The photo came out perfectly and just as it was shown to me in the preview when I ordered them. Note that the photos are small, so a full facial picture works best. You can change a color photo to be black-and-white or sepia. I would highly recommend this product and plan to buy them again next year for my father.

I was very pleased with my order. I have received feedback from recipients of how delighted they were to get such a unique, yet thoughtful gift that can be cherised for years to come. Thanks.
Sentimental favorite
(Philadelphia, PA) - December 23, 2011
I ordered these cufflinks for my boyfriend and was impressed by the quality of them. I had seen similar cufflinks on other sites for much more money. I didn't even use a high quality photo and they turned out great. I can't wait to see his reaction when he sees them on Christmas. Of all the gifts that he will receive, I know that these will be the most cherished.
great gift idea

These cuff links turned out really well. It's a little tough to envision how they'll look before purchase, but I was very pleased and my husband loved them. I had a picture of our baby put on them - adorable! A good price for such a unique, quality item too; I saw them on another site for a much higher price.

Earnings Mobility and Low-Wage Employment in Spain: The Role of Job Mobility and Contractual Arrangements
AbstractThe aim of this paper can be summarized as follows. First, I analyze the dynamic nature of the relationship between earnings mobility, job mobility and changes in the contractual arrangements. Second I focus on the evolution of earnings mobility over time. And finally, I concentrate on lowwage employment and the opportunities of getting a better paid job for those workers at the bottom of the earnings distribution. For these purposes, I use the European Community Household Panel Survey (ECHP, 1995-2001), from which a sample of Spanish workers aged 16-65 years old has been drawn. Results show that overall job mobility contributes to increase earnings mobility. Movement into permanent employment status is associated with earnings upgrading overall. For males changes into temporary employment tend to be more strongly related with downgrading only when individuals remain with their current employer. The same is observed for females. However, for females, switching into temporary employment and changing employer at the same time tend to lead to either earnings upgrading or downgrading. Overall, earnings mobility remains mostly unchanged over time, although clear differences, both in terms of levels and trends, can be perceived among different types of workers. Finally I find evidence that switching into permanent employment, either with the current employer or with a change of employer, significantly increases the likelihood of getting a better paid job for those workers located at the bottom of the earnings distribution.

Light Tape®
What is Light Tape® and Electroluminescence (EL)?
How Dose Light Tape® Work?
Electroluminescence (EL) is a means of generating light by the electrical excitation of light emitting phosphors, similar to how Plasma televisions are backlit today. In this case, the light emitting phosphors are located between two electrically conductive plates. Applying an alternating (A.C.) current activates the system producing light. At least one of the electrodes consists of a light transmissive conductive material allowing the light to escape.
Why are Light Tape® Lamps so Revolutionary?
Light Tape® is the most energy efficient and versatile light bulb ever developed! Light Tape® Lamps and animated signs are at the leading edge of global quality, reliability and service standards.
Incredible energy savings.
One hundred meters of standard 1" Light Tape® lamp consumes less than a 100 watt light bulb! Light Tape® is the most energy efficient form of lighting available today. Typical energy consumption is less than 0.25 ma / sq. in.
Uniform surface lighting.
Light Tape® backlighting systems uniformly backlight onyx, engineered materials and signage. Fits in almost any space at less than 0.02" thick! No more hot or dark spots and does not generate heat.
Outdoor friendly.
We have engineered Light Tape® to work outside as well as inside. A logical replacement for traditional neon or other accent lighting. Quick, easy, do it yourself! Try our Snap-N-Light systems.
Lasts for years, no maintenance.
Light Tape® Systems last for years with virtually no maintenance required while providing low energy operation. No more emergency calls to your repair man because part or all of your lights went out last night!
Long runs, only one connection!
Imagine a single 100 meter run of Light Tape® powered by a single power supply and connected only at one end. And, the brightness will not vary over the length of the lamp. Accent your venue in a matter of minutes with just one connection!
Electro-LuminX manufactures Light Tape® in the US to ensure optimal quality standards. After 12 years of engineering and development, we have stable and repeatable process to ensure world class quality. The lamp and processes are patent protected and manufacturing is controlled by ISO9001:2000 processes.
Why is Light Tape® Uniue?
Combine Electro-LuminX's patented technology and manufacturing processes with the best materials available and you get Light Tape® Lamps. We utilize GTP's premium quality light emitting phosphors and Honeywell's Encapsulate Systems to guarantee that we deliver the highest quality lamp possible to our customers
Light Tape® lamps are changing the way people think of a light bulb. Imagine a light bulb as thin as a credit card, in any colour, that you can bend around any surface, for hundreds and hundreds of feet, indoors or outdoors, that costs only a fraction of what traditional bulbs cost to operate. In fact, it is the most important innovation in light since the invention of the bulb.
Or imagine your individualised creative sign artwork with animated illumination to command attention at a point of purchase or anywhere you need it.
Light Tape® Energy Consumption Comparison
Light Tape® is the most inexpensive, energy efficient lighting option available, costing only about $80 a year. Compared to fluorescent and neon lighting, both costing about $1700 annually, Light Tape® is a bargain! Even LEDs, the "energy efficient" choice, costs about $500 a year to operate.
