Peter Gentenaar isn't any ordinary paper artist. He creates extraordinarily beautiful paper sculptures that have an ethereal quality to them. His exhibition at the abbey church of Saint-Riquier church in northern France proves this point. It's where he hung more than a 100 paper sculptures in the church's grand halls.
On his website he describes his process. "Because I started out as a printmaker and sculptor, it took time to lose the idea that paper was a helpful carrier for prints or a filler for molds. Gradually I found that the single sheet of paper, which had not dried yet, had all the possibilities I needed. A paper sheet is thin and strong and can be compared to the leaf on a tree or plant. Reinforced with very thin ribs of bamboo that look like the ribs of a leaf, the analogy between the sheet of paper and the plant form is emphasized even more. By beating my pulp very long, an extraordinary play of forces occurs during the drying processes of my paper sculpture."

Warning signs of a debt problem
You may feel 'the dark cloud of debt' over you. Before it turns into a storm, assess your situation with guidelines that can help you avoid worse trouble.
Do you have problems sleeping at night? Do you dread getting mail, fearing the arrival of a bank statement? Do you have to do relaxing meditation before checking your online bank account?
You may feel like your life is getting out of control. And it could because, as National Foundation for Credit Counseling spokeswoman Gail Cunningham says, "the dark cloud of debt follows you around 24/7."
In some cases, a little financial belt-tightening or a few accelerated credit card payments are enough to get that cloud to dissipate. But sometimes a debt crisis becomes too overwhelming to handle on your own. How do you know when you need help to get it under control? The tipping point won't be the same for everyone, but here are some general guidelines to assess your situation.
Minimum-payment syndrome
Your debt-to-income ratio is one important tool in evaluating your financial health.
"We recommend that people's debt load be no more than 20% of their take-home pay," Cunningham says. "That includes the vehicle. So, if you bring home $1,000 per month, and you've got a $200-a-month car payment, you'd better not owe anybody else."
Another clue is how much of your debt you pay each month. The NFCC created a quiz called "How Do I Know If I'm in Financial Trouble?" consisting of 20 true-or-false statements. If more than two or three ring true, you may need credit counseling, the foundation says. Statement No. 1 in the quiz is, "I normally pay only the minimum due on my credit card bills."
Now that the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act is in effect, every bill comes with a bracing reminder of the consequences of that practice. Credit card issuers have to disclose how long it will take customers to wipe out a debt by making only the minimum monthly payments.
"The reality is that it will probably take you decades to pay off that debt," Cunningham says.
A related reality check can creep up after a long period of making interest-only payments on a loan.
"If someone is only paying the interest and the debt keeps increasing because he's not paying down any of the principal, it just snowballs," says Carol Friedhoff, a financial planner at Savvy Outcomes in Dublin, Ohio. "At some point, you cannot even afford to pay the interest."
Credit spending addiction
Credit counselor Barbara Wright points out three red flags that you are addicted to spending:
- Calling credit card issuers to check your available credit.
- Constantly using your credit card as extra income.
- Paying for things on credit that you used to buy with cash -- for example, groceries.
If do any of these things, your debt habit may be out of control, she says.
Simply paying off your credit card balance may not be enough to ensure your recovery from this addiction. "Paying the credit card off is a good thing, but then going back and recharging on it is not," Wright says.
Even worse is piling on debt when you're already overwhelmed. "If you are in a bad situation but you are continuing to add debt, that's also a bad sign," Friedhoff says. "At some point, you need to stop spending."
Getting help
Even if you realize you need help, it's probably tempting to delay seeking it -- the same way you avoid opening those bills. But Cunningham says it's a big mistake to put things off.
"Delay only exacerbates the problem," Cunningham says. "As soon as you see some warning flags go up, we suggest you seek out a credit counselor for help."
A credit counseling session begins with a discussion of your overall financial situation, with an aim toward identifying your biggest areas of concern. Living expenses like rent, mortgage payments, utilities and food should be tackled first, followed by secured debts like car loans, and then payments on credit card debt.
If you are running low on funds after covering your basic living expenses, the credit counselor may suggest creating a debt management plan. Under this scenario, your creditors agree to lower monthly payments and may temporarily waive or lower your interest payments, late fees or over-limit fees.
Last resorts
"There are only two exit ramps left on the debt highway if a debt management plan will not work, both of which are very serious financial decisions," Cunningham says. "One is debt settlement, and one is bankruptcy."
Unlike a debt management plan, in which consumers must pay 100% of what they owe, debt settlement involves creditors agreeing to take less. The best way to go about it, according to Cunningham, is to avoid the debt settlement companies offering their services for a fee and go straight to your creditors to work out a deal. "Why pay for something that you can do for yourself for free?" Cunningham asks.
If personal bankruptcy seems to be your only viable recourse, a nonprofit credit counseling agency affiliated with the National Foundation for Credit Counseling can help you navigate the process.

That's YOU one day if you continue to be enslaved to the system.
Everything may be fine today and the bankers may be clamoring to get your business, but someday you may not be able to pay. If or when it happens, you will see that those scurrilous leaches can and will make your life miserable.

Looking for
Sheet Glass Samples?
Sheet Glass
We hand-mix our sheet glass using "recipes"
that are more than 122 years old.
Learn how Sheet Glass is made
in KOG's Sheet Glass Studio
Use the Form on the left to browse our Sheet Glass Inventory.
Types of Sheet Glass
- Opal: Glass that is not transparent, although some sheets may contain relatively transparent areas.
- Streaky: Contains two or more colors mixed together and may or may not be transparent.
- Cathedral: Single color transparent glass.
- Opalume: Single color non-transparent glass.
How is sheet glass different than stained glass?
For the uninitiated, understanding the differences between these glass types can initially be difficult. Know that colored glass and sheet glass are basically synonyms, but neither of these terms is perfectly synonymous with stained glass.
Stained glass is, literally, stained glass. It is glass that has been painted. A powder is applied to transparent glass and then the product is kiln fired. If you paint a pane of glass blue, and fire it, your end product is blue.
But sheet glass is different. A blue pane of sheet glass is literally blue—through and through. It produces a light and an effect that is richer and more striking than stained glass and its color does not wear down with age, but remains as brilliant as the day it was made.
More importantly, sheet glass can be exposed to incredibly high temperatures, reshaped, and reformed while retaining its color.
Stained glass is painted. Sheet glass is created.
At KOG we proudly stand by the fact that our sheet glass is of a quality that is as good as, and usually better than, any glass manufacturer in the world. We produce the best quality colored glass sheets in the United States, and we are the only art glass factory in the nation that manufactures glass sheet by hand.
What makes our sheet glass different?
The color, clarity, texture and workability of our sheet glass is second to none. The intensity of our art glass color derives from our hand-mixing techniques. You just can't get the same effect by mixing with a machine—otherwise we would have converted long ago! We remain committed to hand-ladling and hand-mixing because it produces the best quality product. Period.
Due to the formulation of our colored glass sheets it is easier to cut and score and it breaks more cleanly and crisply, and as a result it is a pleasure for most craftsmen. Clean-breaking glass allows craftsmen to rely on our materials and their skills rather than luck to achieve the forms that they want. The result is a remarkable degree of precision in the finished product. Again, the formulation that makes our art glass more workable is reliant on our unique hand-crafted methodology.
A Word About Ordering Glass
We strive to accurately represent our glass in the images we display. Every monitor is different and therefore will depict the glass somewhat differently. The photos are taken of a 2" x 3" swatch of glass and may or may not show the beauty of a larger sheet of glass. Additionally, if you contact us directly or leave a message in the notes section at check out what you are striving for we will do our best to meet your request. We always advocate requesting a sample of the glass before you purchase.

color is a huge weakness for me so right now im reading a good book on color theory called 'the book of color' and it states the primary pigment colors are magenta, yellow and cyan. i've always heard red, yellow, blue. are ryb the true primaries?
I suggest buying a color wheel,,,,
the color wheel helps me come up with color schemes using
Triads and Diads
THEY are so helpfull...
I'll have to get back to ya on that,,, I can not find my color
theory book!!!! :chug: :chug:
I am everywhere,
I am Nowhere.
Read these threads and get the book "Ala Prima - Everything i know about painting" (theres a link in one of these threads)
These threads and that book are a great start. (Thanks Foster and Manley) They are worth all the money and time it takes to study them. You'll notice a large improvment in your work after study this stuff. Although the study is never ending. Also do a search before you ask technique and theory questions. There are alot of old buried jewels.
Cyan, magenta and yellow are basically the main colours if you´re using a substractive coulourscheme. Add black and you have the printing colours you´re usng in offset-printing. Nearly every printer on yo computer is using this base-colours. And if you got the hang of mixing them you can do nearly every colour.
During my professional education we got a Design class, where we just had this colours and had to reproduce pictures to get a a hang of the printing principles. It´s a good practise if you want to try out traditional media.
<Insert witty remark here>
Cyan, magenta and yellow (CMYK) are the primary colours of the light, and red, green, blue (RGB) are primary colours of the pigments.
Cyan - is kinda light-blue, Magenta is between red and pink and Yellow is.. :-)
Most of the printers use CMY colours, but in the "painting-world" we use RGB colours as a primary.
When you mix all the CMY colour - you`ve got white light (see the rainbow or the Pink Floyds` "The Dark Side Of The Moon" cover), and when you mix all the RGB colours you`ve got black.
..:: Yaseck ::..
Sorry Yaseck, it´s vice versa.
CMYK are pigmentcolours (here we say substractive colours because if you mix all of them you get black) and you´re using them for print, drawing etc. and RGB are light colours, like e.g. in a monitor. They´re called here in Germany additive colours because if you mix red, green and blue light on a screen you get white.

"This invitation is beautiful and very chic. The colors I ordered it in were pink and sage green. This combination of colors are very elegant. I was also very pleased with the quality of the paper, envelope and printing!!!!! I have received many wonderful compliments on this invitation for our baby shower."
"I loved this print and really wanted it even though it wasn't for a baby shower. I edited and changed a few things... Turned out just perfect! I even had a map for directions for where the venue will be, printed on the back of the card and it too came out great! Quality of the card is very good and the print itself is very good quality too, very clear and no bleeding. Family and friends loved it when they received them. Very happy customer and will definitely continue using tiny prints for all our special occasions."
"The sweetest card for a baby girl. The colors are nice and I love the way they chose to mix the colors of printing on the card. Just perfect!!"
"It's really simple to personalize these products. The invitations were printed on high quality stock and I received them before the targeted delivery date. We're very pleased with the design as well as the service!"
"My baby shower invitations arrived at my house promptly after ordering and are simply beautiful! I love the unique design! The colors and print are just as they appear on the website. The cards are printed on thick card stock and are of very high quality. I especially love the stripe print on the back. I am sure my guests will love these cards as much as I do!"

I just go sit at the table like..
Lol.I help when she wants me to. But I definitely do what Winnie the Pooh is doing right now! Lol
When my mom is cooking, I don't help her..
The camera. The tool used to record the times "you cant remember with the people you wont forget". The device to take the speechless moment such as a sun rise or sunset. The holding of hands, the locking of lips. The glare in ones eye. Can all be captured by a camera. I like to think so. With a few exceptions of course.
But the camera has been undervalued in my eyes and whoever attains one should appriciate it to the fullest extent. Its abilities are quite valuable. I myself do not have a camera. But I do have one in my phone which is fine for me.
Cameras: way too undervalued! When you have one take the most amazing pictures that you can!

This phone (Galaxy S4) is impeccable. The way the back curves to sit perfectly in your hand; the way the glass face spills over the sides and continues the lines of the polished, chamfered edges; the way the micro-drilled holes that cover the speakers give the phone personality; all these fantastic design elements combine to create a truly unique and gorgeous smartphone.
Also, for those who often watch movies on their phones or who use them to play music through the loudspeaker."...there is no rival smartphone on the planet that comes anywhere close to matching the audio quality of HTC's BoomSound speakers."
To read about the HTC One on gadget blogs, the software appears to be a major pain point. Many seem to feel that the HTC One with stock Android Jelly Bean sold directly from Google for $600 is the perfect smartphone because it combines HTC's sleek hardware with Google's "pure" vision of Android. For most users though, this is almost certainly not the case.

American Idol's Randy Jackson on "The Shock of My Life"
Written on July 24, 2012 at 10:20 am , by Karla Walsh
After speaking with Randy Jackson yesterday, we couldn't say that we were too surprised to hear a big American Idol announcement this morning. As the only returning judge on the panel (Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler stepped down after the last season), Jackson was tight-lipped about the show. Today we learned that Jackson himself was instrumental in helping Mariah Carey sign on as a judge for the 12th season. Here's what he had to say about it on Twitter this morning:
One of the greatest artists in the world is back with that heat. Get it! @MariahCarey #TRIUMPHANT
— Randy Jackson (@YO_RANDYJACKSON) July 23, 2012
Since the show casting was, and is, still in negotiation (who will fill Tyler's seat?), Jackson wanted to talk to us about another topic close to his heart: diabetes. Nine years ago, the music producer was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, and it's dramatically changed the way he lives. "When I was first diagnosed, I viewed it as a curse. But it forced me to take control of my health," he says. Read on for details about Jackson's journey in his own words.
- I thought I had a cold or the flu. I wasn't feeling well and was perspiring all the time. We gave it the weekend to see if it would go away, but it didn't. So my doctor ran a few tests and came back to tell me that I had type 2 diabetes. My Dad had it, but I thought this was a disease that happened to someone else—not me.
- My doctor told me that, as a diabetic, I was two to four times more likely to develop heart disease and stroke. That was a shock, plus, I really had to learn what blood sugar was. I had no idea what it meant when they told me that my blood sugar was at almost 500! [Editor's note: A healthy blood glucose level is below 100, and anything over 125 signals diabetes.]

From what I understand (unfortunately I have no quotes to back me up on this) flying in Northrend is going to work in similar fashion to what it's like in Outland. i.e. you'd need to get to (near) lvl 80 and then (possibly) do a quest to 'unlock' the option of flight. The devs want to make absolutely sure you're not going to skip content on your flying mount.

When I was playing my first character, a young paladin on Deathwing, and was delivering a questline in Menethil Harbor, I witnessed an extraordinary event. Suddenly, there at the main gate was an emormous freaking red dragon and a slew of Horde. Apparently, they had kited the thing all the way from somewhere to attack the harbor. It remains one of the more amazing sights/events to have ever witnessed in game. I whispered a high lvl friend more knowledgable than me and he was thunderstruck that someone was actually doing it and flew in to witness it also. He remarked that such a thing had not been done since the early days of Wow. The two of us had a grand old time trying to hold back the horde and their fiendish dragon convoy.
Sorry, for the life of me I cannot remember the dragon's name. But it was grand battle.

Takhatgarh is a town in Sumerpur tehsil of Pali District of Rajasthan state in India. The town is one of the 9 municipalities in the district, located near the district boarder. It is about 150 years old only.
The town is named after the "Takhat Singh", then king of Jodhpur. Some people ran away due to atrocities of the Thakurs and wanted to settle in the empire of Jodhpur State. They taken permission of the king Takhat Singh and told him their desire that they want to establish a village on king's name and want to settle there. They dug a well, but the water was not sweet. They found one already dug well nearby and taken permission to settle there.

Once Jewish quarter now nightlife hot spot, the centre of Budapest's 7th district has raised some eyebrows this summer. It's more than just a landmark area with hoards of drunks consuming premium wheat beer. It's a densely packed startup scene of blooming characteristic enterprises such as cafes, restaurants, pubs and - wait for it - the signature ruin bars in the backyards of abandoned houses. Eastaste had set to map out the sonic branding strategies of the Ruin Pub Quarter.

Commercial Release of 3D (Breast Tomosynthesis) Biopsy Option Strengthens Hologic's Position as Provider of the Nation's Most Comprehensive Portfolio of Interventional Breast Health Solutions Prone and upright guidance systems, biopsy device utilizing 3D, stereotactic, ultrasound or MRI guidance, site markers and specimen radiography from a single vendor
BEDFORD, Mass., July 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hologic, Inc. (Hologic or the Company) (NASDAQ: HOLX), a leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of premium diagnostics products, medical imaging systems and surgical products, with an emphasis on serving the healthcare needs of women, recently expanded its extensive array of interventional and imaging solutions for breast health with the launch of the world's first 3D breast biopsy option. This technology was developed for the Company's Affirm upright breast biopsy guidance system, which is used in conjunction with the Selenia Dimensions 2D and 3D mammography systems.
The Affirm 3D biopsy procedure is designed for the localization and accurate targeting of regions of interest and is especially important for targeting lesions not always detected in 2D images or when using other modalities. This new biopsy technique has numerous advantages over traditional stereotactic biopsy procedures, including faster lesion targeting and reduced patient procedure time. In addition, the Affirm system is pre-programmed for use with the Company's Eviva and ATEC vacuum-assisted breast biopsy devices, providing easy integration of these best-in-class products.
In June 2013, Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC became the first facility in the nation to perform a tomosynthesis biopsy, a significant milestone for this new technology. Dr. Jules Sumkin, Chief of Radiology at Magee, performed the Affirm 3D biopsy procedure using the Eviva device. Additional information about this ground-breaking procedure can be found by following this link to the UPMC newsroom.
"The Affirm 3D biopsy option is an important addition to our product portfolio," says Dave Danielsen, Hologic's Vice President and General Manager, Breast Imaging. "Physicians now have a new tool, tomosynthesis, to accurately identify regions of interest for biopsy. This addresses an emergent need users of our 3D mammography systems have identified - a biopsy technology that helps them locate lesions seen only on tomosynthesis images, as well as lesions that are better visualized using 3D imaging."
The 3D biopsy option joins Hologic's comprehensive suite of interventional breast health products, allowing users to depend on a single vendor for the majority of their breast health clinical needs. In addition to the Affirm upright biopsy system, the Company's MultiCare Platinum biopsy table can be used to perform prone biopsy procedures. The versatile ATEC vacuum-assisted breast biopsy system can be used to perform biopsies under stereotactic, ultrasound, MRI or tomosynthesis guidance using the Company's Eviva or ATEC devices. Hologic also provides a full line of biopsy site markers for use in all breast biopsy modalities.
Specimen radiography needs, whether in the operating room or imaging suite, can be met with Hologic's Trident specimen radiography system. This system was developed in response to customer requests and utilizes Hologic's flagship amorphous selenium, direct-capture detector, ensuring high-quality specimen imaging.

The complete details of the Pixie Lott collection for SS11 are still to be revealed but the Lipsy website hints at floral dresses and Coachella festival style.

By watching each of the webisodes of Pixie TV, you will have the chance to win one of five, £1000 Lipsy Giftcards. Just think of all the beautiful party dresses and floral dresses that you could buy with that. Further details can be found on each of the webisodes.

THIS JUST IN: Nihilum is way too fucking overrated and you should be ashamed of supporting guild whoring like this.
Instead of watching people play the game, take the time to play the goddamn thing yourself. I'll be more fun that watching a guild with an inflated ego.
The whole post looks more like an ad for Nihilum and their apparent omgwtfpwn status to the wow community by offering you the chance to feel like you're in the actual raid. OMG 0_0
Let's forget the fact that this is the second time video of the same raid but they're making it sound like it's the friggin' super bowl of wow. What's next? Special ads made by blizzard just for these videos? The whole thing just reeks and I don't see why anyone would support it. It's the equivalent of watching some kid play with something some other want and when that kid ask him to use it he says "No because you don't know how. Watch me, I'm better at it than you."

We're still so young, desperate for attention1 Reviews
The band argue over who gets to go into the shower first, only to realise all the hot water has gone.
He poked his head around the door, which was slightly ajar, and saw the most amusing sight. Brendon was crammed up right onto the toilet, hugging his knees and glaring at Spencer as the latter spoke, or rather yelled. Jon looked like he was about to topple into the shower as he was pressed back so far against it, and Spencer took up the rest of the room, spreading his arms wide and nearly poking Jon's eye out. None of them seemed to notice his inquiring stare, so Ryan settled with just watching it what could only be described as curious humour.
'Why shouldn`t I have a shower first Brendon? It's not as if you've never got into the shower first! And I mean, we were all here before you Jon! So why should you get to go into the shower first?' Spencer finally demanded, glaring at both band mates mentioned as though they were invading his private territory which, knowing Spencer, he had probably come to think of the bathroom as.
'Well.' Brendon began as patiently as he could possibly muster, about to explain why he should go into the shower first, but Jon cut in.
'I should go into the shower first because I`m nearly in it already!' He nodded his head triumphantly as Brendon rolled his eyes and sighed.
'Honestly Jon - is that your only comeback? That is lame man.' He smirked 'and anyway guys, I'm the front man. Should be my job to smell nicer than all of you lot anyway. And 'cos I`m so much better looking than you guys. Seems a shame for all this good looks to go to waste on... on ... on... that.' He nodded at Spencer and Jon and Ryan couldn`t help but snicker slightly, drawing everyone's attention from each other to him.
'Were you watching the whole time Ry?' Spencer asked in horror and his expression grew as Ryan nodded.
'And anyway, I should go in first.' Ran finally managed to say without snickering 'Because I haven`t been arguing about it like a bunch of preschoolers.' All three of his fellow band mates shook their heads quickly at that.
'Look.' Brendon finally sighed 'Let me go into the shower ... and ... I'll let you have all of my cereal.' he said to Spencer ' Uhmm ... I'll shag you. Oh c'mon you know you want It.' he added to Ryan, who looked rather disturbed 'No ... uhmm ... I'll let you play my new video game. ' he whined. 'And uhmm ... well Jon you'll just let me go into the shower because I'm such a good front man. Right?'
'Bribery Mister Urie?' Spencer snorted 'that`ll get you no-wh- wait did you say I could have all of your cereal? J-just for a shower??' Brendon nodded importantly.
'All of it.' he said with a grin. Spencer nodded, pushing Ryan and Jon out as he stumbled out. Brendon snickered and locked the door, just as he heard Spencer yell.
'YOU MOTHERFXCKER URIE THERE ISN'T ANY LEFT!' He could hear both Ryan and Jon yelling at him as well, most probably because Spencer had made them give up for nothing. Oh well. Undressing he stepped into the shower and put it onto full.
It was cold.
Very cold.
Freezing in fact.
So freezing he yelled in surprise, tripped over the side of the shower on his way to get away from the cold water, and landed in a shivering heap on the floor, in the very small bathroom where his face was jammed up right next to the toilet and his legs were bent to fit into the bathroom.
'Uhmm... Brendon?' It was Ryan, who sounded rather alarmed at the big crash that had come from the bathroom ' You ...Uhmm... Alive?'
'Just about.' he managed to mumble back 'but whoever wasted all of the hot water better make a run for it now, because I am going to kill them.' There was the sound of stifled giggles, before the sounds of footsteps running, possibly to hide. Brendon pushed himself up into a sitting position, shaking his head at the shower.
'This cupboard is far too small.' Jon grumbled to himself, shifting slightly and trying to breathe as quietly as he could, hoping Brendon wouldn`t hear him and also hoping Brendon hadn't died yet, because they really needed someone to sing and Ryan didn`t want to sing much now they had Brendon. He shifted again, ending up in an even more uncomfortable position, but hearing footsteps coming up towards him, he sunk back and stayed quiet. The cupboard doors, which were rather old and needing a new coat of paint, were thrust open, and Jon let out a small squeak, before realising it was Ryan.
'He's not looking for you anymore' Ryan aid quietly, seemingly through gritted teeth. Jon let out as thankful sigh, and manoeuvred his body out of the small cupboard, only to be rugby tackled by a still wet and equally angry Brendon.
'You traitor!' Jon wailed as Brendon pinned him to the floor. Ryan snickered slightly.
'Hell he was going to make me watch Aladdin again if I didn't...'
'Fair enough.' Jon grunted, struggling to push Brendon off of him. He seemed to have a vice-like grip and though Brendon wasn`t exactly the biggest of people, Jon found it hard to push him off of him. Finally he managed to succeed and just laid there, breathing heavily, before jumping up, placing his foot on Brendon's stomach and pressing down a bit, causing Brendon to burst out laughing because he was very ticklish.
'Say sorry.' Jon said with a smirk.
'Never you mother fxcker!' Brendon said stubbornly, laughing even harder as Jon wiggled his foot round a bit 'O-okay get off me ... and I-I will!' he finally spluttered. Jon waited until Brendon got up before saying with another smirk.
'Say sorry!'
'Sucker!' Brendon giggled before dashing off towards the other end of the bus. Jon darted after him before finally Brendon tripped over one of his discarded movie boxes and fell in a heap beside the sofa. Seeing Jon coming towards him in alarm, he finally wailed.
'I'm sorrrrrry!'
'Better.' Jon said, satisfied, and went off to look for a snack.
[[ A/N .. I'm not sure what to say about this chapter. It took me forever and yet I still feel like I've failed on it D: Oh well, I'd loove to know what you think of it, but pleeeease only constructive crits, and reviews would be loooved x

Apple HDTV?
Apple HDTV?
This rumor has been circulating for years not ever since Apple introduced it's "hobby" the AppleTV. It's gone through a few changes over the past few years, now supports HDMI with 720p output. Consumers have been craving more, but Apple basically stated it's not something they are looking to put a lot of item and effort into and called it a hobby. It now looks like Apple might be ready to take this hobby to the next level and come out with their own Apple HDTV.
As a big Apple fan, who recently got to use an newer AppleTV for about a week or so, I have to say it's a great device and it screams for more. Using AirPlay, you can view your photos in a slideshow wirelessly on your HDTV and even set music to play in the background, view YouTube content and even access to NetFlix. You can even access your iTunes library using the Home Sharing feature. As a basic media center, it's not bad for $100, but there is plenty of room for improvement. Hopefully the rumors are true and the next update version of the AppleTV will actually be a HDTV!

Talk to me.Offer your grooviness.About the LadyNext pageArchive
This is what I'm NOT comfortable with.
Society's rules and expectations of me, since the day I was born:
Be pretty. I must be thin, have a glowing complexion, straight and vividly white teeth, 20/20 eyesight, and a very good handle on how to properly use every cosmetic device known to womankind. It's the end of the world if I ever should have a blemish (and not know how to cover it properly). I must have glossy fingernails, and if I'm not well-endowed in the chest region, nobody will look at me. If my nose is too large, it's not pretty. If I'm not thin enough, men will never look at me. It's not pretty to have "love handles" and if I ever fall prey to an eating disorder, it's clearly my problem and obviously I have control over it. I should be ashamed for exhibiting these behaviors that were taught to me by society.
Be sociable with women. I'm a "slut" or a "loose woman" if I'm too sociable with men. I can have many "girl friends" but if most of my friends and acquaintances are male, clearly I must be having sex with them. And that's just not right, you see. If I'm not sociable at all, or if I have trouble communicating with others the way other people seem to do so effortlessly, I must be mentally ill, and I should see a therapist to "correct" this "problem".
Dress well. I must not dress provocatively (because if I do, and I get raped, it'll be all my fault), or in any way that is not "en vogue". It's inappropriate to draw attention to myself, and even worse if I choose to dress modestly, but unusually. And if my eyes are bad, I better be wearing contacts, not glasses. Shame on me for thinking I had a right to a personality, and shame on me for being hard of sight. I must have done that to myself, huh?
Date men. If I couldn't get a date in high school, there must have been something wrong with me. Maybe my hair was too long, or shaggy, or not the right colour. Maybe I wasn't wearing the right make-up. Maybe I wasn't sociable enough. Of course, it's my fault that young boys have more on their mind than young girls. And if I wasn't attracted to boys, that's obviously a mental disorder. So I'm in my 20's and I'm not interested in sex. I've also had two failed engagements because there must be something wrong with me. I guess I better see a therapist, or try to be more alluring (without, of course, coming off as a "slut").
Get married. After all, that's my central purpose in life. To find a man and marry him. Then I'm supposed to do all the housework, make him sandwiches, bow to his every little whim, and be a housewife. I'm not supposed to "pretend" I'm above a man in any way. If I even merely suggest inequality among the sexes, clearly I must be a bitch. I'm supposed to get married, because if I don't, there must be something wrong with me. If I don't marry a man, I'll never survive on my own. I'm not supposed to go to college. I'm supposed to find a man who can support me because I'm incapable of doing it myself, and if I even try, I must have some kind of mental or sexual disorder. I should probably see a therapist for that "problem".
Have children. I have sexual organs for one purpose and one purpose only: multiplication. If I skipped marriage and I'm living with a homosexual man who happens to be my best friend, no children will ever come out of that (but people will ask me if I'm sure we're not fucking) and obviously that's not the plan of action that's right for me. If I should someday have an unwanted pregnancy, I should be ashamed for calling it "unwanted" and I should forget about being part of society if I have an abortion, because that's murder, and women are not murderers. How will my parents ever become grandparents? How will I ever live a meaningful life if I don't have children? I'd much rather have a cat, which means that there must be something wrong with me.
Other unspoken rules of womanhood:
Talking about the menstrual cycle is vulgar, obscene, and I should feel disgusting and ashamed for these functions that I cannot control.
I will always be questioned for my skills (driving, reading, writing, math, art, music, "dirty work" or manual labour) because I am obviously the weaker and dimmer sex. I have no right to complain if I am not paid as much as my male counterparts at work, even if we were hired at the same time, because obviously I'm not capable of doing as good of a job as they do, because I am a woman.
Everything I say is a product of my emotions, because I obviously lack a logical mind. I am expected to be fascinated with love stories, love songs, "chick flicks", and muscular men; I am also expected to exhibit stereotypical behaviors such as compulsive shopping, poor driving, losing my patience, and constantly having PMS because obviously that's all that could ever really upset me since I'm incapable of logical thought. I never have a legitimate reason for crying, either.
I should always try to be more like [insert name of "beautiful woman" here]. Men want the women they see on the magazines. Not some frumpy girl who can't afford a nose job, doesn't have the patience for fake eyelashes, and lives in the real world where you can't photoshop your face before you leave the house.
These things hurt.
I'm a woman, and I love being a woman. I hate that society feels the need to govern our lives. We are taught that it's okay to be ourselves, but out in the real world, apparently it's not. THESE THINGS HURT. I encourage women and girls to think for themselves. You are beautiful and perfect just the way you are. If the world doesn't like it, we have a tendency not to like it either, but it's okay to like yourself. Loving yourself is an entirely different matter, and something I deeply hope to learn someday myself.
Society can take a walk.
- Anyone talking is asking to be interrupted.
- Anyone carrying money is asking to be robbed.
- Anyone eating is asking to choke.
- Anyone drinking is asking to be drugged.
- Anyone walking is asking to be tripped.
- Anyone with a face is asking to be punched.
- Anyone with a heart is asking for a heart attack.
- Anyone with arteries is asking for an aneurysm.
- Anyone not wearing a breastplate is asking to be stabbed.
- Anyone not wearing a bulletproof vest is asking to be shot.

Forever reblog.
This shouldn't even need to be done.
instant reblog
(Source: dezi-desire, via arsey-darcy)
I just started a new job with an unnamed company. As part of my training, I had to sit and watch videos for a few hours, about the company and its connection to a larger corporation. The videos were designed to highlight all the things the company stood for, and why it's important to people.
One thing in particular pissed me off, however.
"When people think Smart, they think [company name here]."
And it went on to discuss how busy mothers are utterly blessed by the presence of this company, because they want to be "frugal" and "fashionistas", then marched on to gargle out the nauseating pseudo-term "frugalista", which, apparently, defines every woman on the face of the planet. Not once did they mention the incredible product lines for men as well; they didn't even so much as mention the sons of these women - instead they went on about how "she" could shop for her "little girl" and so on and so forth.
It's almost as if they expect every mother to be a stay-at-home mum who does nothing but do her husband's/boyfriend's bidding at the store, decorating the home and dressing the family on a budget. It's disgusting and completely uncalled for.
Every day I see an equal number of women and men - childless, single, married, with child, young, old, very young, and every demographic you could possibly imagine - shopping in the store I work in. And yet all their marketing targets women as if the stores were built for the betterment of their lives, and not for the betterment of an entire community as a whole.
Society needs to drop this bullshit stereotype that entails that all women should aspire to be a perfect housewife. It's stale; it's dead and decomposing. I'd like to see it have a proper burial in my lifetime. This is the age of the enlightened and empowered woman. To hell with corporate advertising garbage.
Why is it that men can undergo voluntary sterilization without first having to father at least two children, whereas women cannot be voluntarily sterilized (in my case, full-force - I'd like to get rid of my uterus) without having birthed at least one child? (Feel free to correct me if this is incorrect, but this is something pointed out to me by someone I deem as knowledgeable.)
Why does the government feel as if a man is "stable" enough to make such a decision, because he is not fickle-minded as they believe a woman to be? Why is it that a woman cannot decide for herself, what she wants to do within her reproductive life?
When will women be able to be taken seriously? I have firmly decided I don't plan on having any children. My husband-to-be is already a father of a child whom is not mine (and will never be my responsibility, as the mother of this child is a wonderful mother herself, and will never have an excuse to pass the child, who also has a brother from another father, down to his father or myself) and has decided that he doesn't want to have any more of his own either.
This isn't something I just recently came up with. This isn't just a one-off decision or a case of being "young and naive" or not knowing what I want to do with my life. This isn't a case of a young woman who is incapable of making decisions of her own, and this isn't a case in which the government should be able to have any say in what goes on with my body.
And yet I cannot have this operation to rid myself of the agony of a menstrual cycle and risk of unwanted children (before anyone gets up on their soapbox I'd also like to mention that I would never have unprotected sex, but sometimes accidents do happen) because I am a woman, and the government figures my opinion and my convictions do not hold as much weight as that of a man's.
Will someone please explain this to me? Because I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out why we've brought to light the way the government tries to regulate abortion (a woman's right to choose) but the issue of voluntary hysterectomy/voluntary sterilization to any degree is rarely spoken of, when it comes to childless women who choose to remain childless. Why are we not pushing for equality in both departments?
Who will help us rise above this seemingly Catholic-bent morale that one must "be fruitful and multiply" to be a "normal", functioning member of society and to be able to choose what's right for OUR individual bodies? When will the government realize that their morals and their views on reproductive health are not a "one size fits all" blanket of ultimate truth and justice?
When will the government get the fuck out of my uterus?

Genetically modified grass blamed for mass cattle deaths in Texas
A form of genetically modified grass is being cited as the likely culprit in the sudden death of a herd of cattle in Central Texas, according to CBS News.
Preliminary tests revealed that the grass, an altered form of Bermuda grass known as Tifton 85, had mysteriously begun producing cyanide gas. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture are conducting further tests to determine if some sort of mutation caused the grass to suddenly begin giving off the deadly gas.
The cattle died roughly three weeks ago while grazing on a ranch in Elgin, Texas, about 20 miles east of Austin. According to the ranch's owner, Jerry Abel, the cattle began howling shortly after being let out to graze one day. Fifteen of his eighteen cattle died, all of them in a matter of hours.

Liverpool hoping to complete three transfers worth £24m
Liverpool hoping to complete three transfers worth £24m
Having already signed Daniel Strruidge from Chelsea for £12m Liverpool are hoping to sign Jack Butland and Tom Ince (who would cost around £5-6m) in the January transfer window. The signing of Jack Butland (who would cost around £7-8m) could add some competition to Pepe Reina, who's had a bad form in the recent years. It's been rumoured that Liverpool would also sign Theo Walcott from Arsenal, but it is now reported that he's agreed a new £90k p/w deal at The Emirates.

(Services near Froedtert Hospital)
Questions? Contact Us
Dedicated to improving hospital-based stroke care, Get With The Guidelines® — Stroke was created in 2003 by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. The program measures a hospital's adherence to the latest scientific treatment guidelines. Since 2003, 1,656 hospitals have added more than two million patient records to the Get With The Guidelines — Stroke database. Multiple studies based on these records show the impact the program has had on improving patient outcomes.
Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin's Stroke and Neurovascular Center has two high-level distinctions awarded by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.
A hospital is scored on how well it implements seven key quality measures established by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. The seven Get With The Guidelines — Stroke measures include:
This chart displays an overall (composite) score representing the seven measures combined for Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin. The chart also provides a comparison to Midwest hospitals participating in the Get With The Guidelines initiative and all hospitals participating across the country. The scores are averaged during the years noted. The higher the score, the better.
The Froedtert & the Medical College Acute Stroke Team (FAST) is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This acute response team provides stroke patients with rapid access to diagnosis and treatment. Stroke neurologists, critical care neurologists, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, interventional neurologists, emergency medicine physicians and nurse specialists work around the clock to beat stroke.
Studies show that thrombolytic drugs, or clot-busters, effectively stop strokes and improve patient outcomes if specialists trained in giving the drugs are immediately available. All FAST doctors are trained to administer clot-busters and have been successfully using them since their approval in 1996. Some of these miracle drugs need to be administered intravenously within the first three hours of the onset of symptoms. It's another reason to act fast when stroke symptoms occur.
Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin consistently treats a higher percentage of stroke patients with stroke-stopping thrombolytic therapy. If patients arrive at the hospital too late for effective use of IV tPA or if IV tPA is not appropriate for them, physicians may use endovascular surgery procedures or neuro-interventional techniques to remove the clot. Endovascular procedures are those performed from inside the blood vessel so that tPA can be injected at the site of the blockage to dissolve the clot. Alternatively, a device can be used to suction or trap the clot and remove it.

Kill me.
My accounts won't balance by $18.40. Not too shabby for 6 months. Probably just someone (most likely me) miscounting the till at the end of the night or something. I went through all of my receipts and organized everything. Only took me ALL OF YESTERDAY to get it to be the way I want it.
Now I can start documenting things and reporting it to the Government. Oh joy…
On the up side, I've actually made a little bit of money this year. My financial advisor says that never happens with new businesses, especially in only 6 months. I've paid back all of my start up costs and all that stuff… I'm a G. ;) My gift to myself will be hiring someone so I can sleep in.

As most of you know, I'm obsessed with Fifty Shades of Grey. I loved the book series so much that I've blogged about it numerous times, re-read the trilogy more times than I'd like to admit, and pretty much find every opportunity to talk about it with family, friends, other moms and complete strangers. I mean, I've bonded with women I don't even know about how much I love the series and how it's helped, uh, give a little spark in the bedroom.
So I was beyond excited when I was contacted by a new, national television show to talk about 50 Shades of Grey. I talked to one of the show's producers about my take on the EL James' trilogy – like why I enjoyed it, how it helped my marriage, and what's the appeal to Christian Grey. She loved it and invited me to submit a video with my husband to talk about it – with the very likely possibility that we'd be on the show with EL James.
All-expense paid trip to New York? Oh yeah!
Talk about my favorite book series? Pul-ease. I could do that in my sleep.
Hob-nob with the television host and possibly EL James herself? Oh my, I just may crap my pants with excitement.
Get my husband to do a video and come with me to New York? Wait, now there's a problem.
My husband just had back surgery last month and is still recovering. I thought surely he'd be able to do a quick video for the show. But he just wasn't up to it. I totally understood – he's recovering and had to give up beer, Monster energy drinks, sugar and carbs due to newfound-food allergies. And honestly, he wouldn't have been able to tolerate sitting down for 5-6 hours for a flight to New York.
But still I was depressed. I knew he couldn't do it but kept hoping by some Fifty Shades miracle that he would feel good enough to do it. So I moped all week – and yes, I know it sounds trivial but I did get a little teary eyed. Of course, his health comes first but a part of me wanted this so bad. It would have been a great opportunity for me.
I turned down the offer to the producer. I tried to pitch a story angle with just me or me and a girlfriend, but the producer really wanted a married couple. She graciously offered me tickets to the show but I'd still need to pay my own flight, which just isn't possible for me right now.
So I'll be tuning into the show and hope that the couple they do find works out. I'm tempted to do video (it would be my first vlog) post to answer the same questions the producer asked.
And Ms. EL James? We'll just have to meet another day.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — Passenger traffic at Norfolk International Airport declined by more than 5 percent in 2013.
The Virginian-Pilot (http://bit.ly/1ggebfk ) reports that the airport saw 3,112,255 million passengers in 2013. Air cargo fell by 17.5 percent to about 58 million pounds.
Passenger traffic improved in December but the increase wasn't enough to offset the year's decline. The airport reported 271,534 passengers, up 1.6 percent from December 2012.
Air cargo declined in Deecmeber by nearly 19 percent to about 5 million pounds.

ASHER Sales Consulting Firm Case Studies
"Defense contractor opens adjacent markets"
- Situation: The client is a F500 Defense contractor, specializing in aircraft, Naval ships and information technology. Sales are mainly in the USA or through the U.S. government to NATO countries.
- Challenge: Our client's growth rate followed the increase in defense spending over the past 20 years. With rapid decreases in defense spending over the past 5 years, sales have decreased. The company needed to arrest the sales decline, get into adjacent markets and train their account managers how to "sell"
- Growth Strategy: We devised special sales training program for selling to the government. We rolled this training out to many locations across the country. Most of the attendees had taken the CPQ/sales aptitude assessment and had a high aptitude for "hunter" sales.
- Result: The company has arrested the sales decline, is now on a growth strategy and is opening up adjacent markets.
"Sales cycle times decrease from 15 months to 6 months"
- Situation: Our client is a F500 defense contractor specializing in submarines, tanks, space and surveillance systems and intelligence services.
- Challenge: With sequestration, the Nation's defense budget has been decreasing rapidly. The portion of the company providing intelligence services needed business development training to reverse the decline in sales.
- Business Development Strategy: Our sales consulting service devised a growth strategy for the company. It needed to be totally customized because of the classified nature of the intelligence services. We provided the sales aptitude assessment to all attendees and provided the BD training.
- Result: The services division is now managing sales with much shorter sales cycle times. (15 to 6 months)

50 Signs in 5 Hours
Less than three weeks left, and lots of people are spent out on donations yet still want to help. Well, my cousin and I took 50 Roger Sharpe signs and hit every corner of our county in five hours, and Wilkes is a BIG county.
My point is not to brag about this effort, although I want to give kudos to my driver, but to show that so much can be done on a Friday evening or a Sunday drive.
Get some signs and place them where you see other signs. Call a friend and offer to take them for early voting. Join a phone banking group. Go out and canvass.
Monetary donations are great, but if you find yourself short of cash, there is still so much you can do.
As I type this, I am physically exhausted, but the great feeling I get from my efforts is well worth it. It's a real high, and I hope everyone out there can feel it, too.

Really great job. I love putting out signs. I can't wait until WFC gets back from vacation so we can take a drive and do the same thing in Charlotte. It's a little harder with all the traffic, but you're right - having a driver makes it easier.

Yay Crowbar...
I'd drive to see 50 signs! Good job!
