Guaranteed Payments To Partners
Definition of 'Guaranteed Payments To Partners'
Payments that are guaranteed to be made to a partner irrespective of whether the partnership makes a profit or not. Guaranteed payments to partners are made to ensure that partners are compensated for specific contributions they make to a partnership, whether in the form of goods or services. This eliminates the risk of their making personal contributions of time or property for which they are never paid if the partnership is not successful.
Investopedia explains 'Guaranteed Payments To Partners'
Guaranteed payments essentially function as a form of salary for partners. This income may be subject to self-employment tax, depending on the terms of payment. Guaranteed payments are considered first-priority distributions and will be paid out even if the partnership is losing money.

The Blake Project, the brand consultancy behind Branding Strategy Insider, delivers interactive brand education workshops and keynote speeches designed to align marketers on essential concepts in brand management and empower them to release the full potential of the brands they manage.
Brand Strategy: The Rules Of Navigationby Thomson Dawson
Now, more than ever, brand marketers are under intense pressure to deliver results for their brands. The intensity in every marketer's attempts to get it right every time is palpable. The fact is they don't get it right every time, and they never will. This is tough for CEO's to accept. To them, this sounds like a lame excuse for not delivering.
Little wonder marketers have an over-dependence on fixed strategy and proven tactics - making and delivering more and more messages perfectly-right-on-the-money-every-time-without-fail-on-time-and-on budget. This is an absurd expectation – in fact, it's more than that – it's a danger to innovation and competitive advantage.
We live in a new normal where the social web has wiped out established barriers to entry in a whole host of business and product categories. It's certainly made a shambles of the advertising agency model. What worked predictably well (advertising) no longer does. Yet marketers still place tremendous energy on convincing rather than engaging.
Brand strategy is not a path to perfection.
In the light speed pace of business today, brand strategy must be a guiding force to help us learn and re-learn our way into the future – brand strategy must be a vision out on the horizon, an ideal to shoot for rather than a stick in the ground. All success is risky business. Contrary to those who believe the marketplace is linear, neat and predictable – brand building is a risky, messy business to navigate.
Markets change on the mere whim of the next best thing. Product innovations (both latent and blatant) change the whole ball game over night. Seemingly marketers have forgotten the universal truth that change is the only constant. Change is not a momentary aberration in time; it's a natural component to the flow of everything.
Adaptability, flexibility and constant re-learning are the necessary and fundamental attributes for brand building in a knowledge-based economy. There are no "best-practices" only learning then re-learning.
To learn then re-learn.
The trouble with marketing and brand management is most of the time we don't know what we don't know. When the focus is always on the results, you learn and are encouraged to do more of what works. Everything is tactics. But when that learning becomes organizational quicksand… your brand is, well…stuck. Innovation is a continuous process not an event. All innovation is about learning then re-learning, and so it is with brand innovation. Challenge your assumptions, learn then re-learn.
In the pursuit of any goal, most of the time you'll be off course.
Like sailing a boat or flying an airplane, to get to where you're going, your course is continually being slightly adjusted as you go along. Most of the time you'll be off course. There are no straight lines when you are dealing with the gravity, wind, current and terrain of the marketplace. To grow and manage an enduring brand, brand owners must strengthen their capacity to navigate, tack and adapt as the circumstances and conditions shift. This is difficult to do on limited resources, but it's not impossible. Apple knew this well long before it was the richest company on the planet.
Admit failure with joy!
Admitting the big idea bombed is difficult for marketing organizations. From my own experience working with hundreds of marketing teams, most marketers would rather believe they're smarter than anyone else. It's tough to admit failure within an ROI obsessed corporate culture when your career prospects are on the line. Failure to admit a wrong turn undermines the benefits of the organization's learning from the mistake.
If you sense something is wrong in your brand strategy and your marketing tactics, chances are your right. Take action! If your strategy or tactic isn't happening, admit the "failure" with joy and move quickly forward with your new learning. Everything that's awesome at first sucks.
Knowing why is
better than how.
At the end of the day, marketers have to know the reasons behind why things seem "off-strategy". Perhaps its because your current brand strategy is "off-strategy". Maybe this is one of the things you don't know you don't know. If you can't determine why something feels off, get outside help if you need it. Seek advise from outside sources (brand consultants included please). Expand your awareness, go outside your industry, move your thinking upward and outward, gain insight not data and seek an outside perspective – then listen.
Listen more.
Marketing is a business of messaging more than listening. I believe it should be the other way around. Listening to customers, trending the category, observing behavior, whatever the method – engagement begins with listening first. When brands take a wrong turn, it's terribly difficult for some brands to admit it and shift course in plain sight of customers and stakeholders. Just look at Research In Motion, Sears and Kodak. On the other hand, when brands do listen, all is quickly forgiven. Netflix has emerged from its very public failure stronger than ever.
It's messy clawing your way to the middle.
If you're brand becomes a middle player, perhaps your organization values learning from what worked (or didn't) from competitors in the category and then doing it better. Doing is easier than being. Brand innovation is never about doing more of the same only better. Brand owners spend so much time defining their "brand essence" and why they matter; yet so much effort turns out to be navel gazing. True north is never revealed through words in a Powerpoint deck, but by behavior in the marketplace.
Enduring brands are brilliant at being and consequently they lead markets simply through the evolving quality of their presence. The "quality of your presence" in the marketplace is not perfect nor will it ever be. That's what makes this game so exciting, rewarding and messy too.

what is time?
i think Time is just a creation of humans in our attempt to bring order to our world. so is time an idea, some thing tangible, or something you can travel through???
Closing Statement from Derek Tachiyama
Thank you for all the comments. So I pretty much reached the conclusion that time has an incredible variety of definitions, none of which are adequately explained using the english language as Frans Kellner said, because you cannot define a word using the word or factors of it. For example, you can't say time is the past or present, because that doesn't say what time is, rather a form of time. sort of like saying a peanut is a type of nut. doesn't really give us a better understanding of a peanut. Also, time is heavily reliant on human perception. I'm not here to play god and tell people what time is. I still don't know. However, I stand by my BELIEF (not truth) that time is the perception of the order of events that take place in our lives. It is an idea, not tangible in any way. You can travel back in time through memories, but the past cannot be changed because it is a perception. The idea of time is our way of trying to bring order to the chaotic world around us. If you would like to continue this discussion with me, you can e-mail me and i will gladly reply to your opinions, I'm very open minded. Just put "time discussion" as the subject header and leave your name at the bottom.

Dec 16 2011: Your last statement makes me think that you define time as 'man's comprehension of the passage of our perception of experience'. Time is a result of one trying to make the chaotic world around them into cogent data. However when you say other organisms do not run on 'time' it is not so much that as the fact that time is a term used to increase understanding and therefore time seeks to understand the organisms not the other way around. Therefore they are not at the mercy of time and thus do not 'run' on time. I find the conclusion that 'time' does not exist is a little blase though. To go back to your titular question time is not a substance, therefore it is not tangible and it is not something we can engage with (or travel through). At best we can travel through the experiences, as the experiences are the data through which the idea of time becomes logical. Time is simply a means of putting rationality into a near inexplicable concept. To claim that time does not truly exist, not only opens this discussion up to definitions of truth and proof but also to what determines existence. Given that we have separated the word 'time' from what it represents for humans when you say 'time' does not truly exist do you mean mankind's attempt to grasp it does not really exist or that the passage of existence is fallacy as well?

Close Encounters of the Coyote Kind
The call that API received in the spring of 2004 started out like many of the others that we receive on a weekly basis: A suburban community was experiencing an increase in sightings of and encounters with coyotes. The resident who called us was concerned that local officials would advocate lethal control over more humane approaches to co-existing with the wild canids.
But one thing was unique about this community's situation. The city involved was Glendale, a Los Angeles suburb tucked up against the foothills where, 23 years ago, a coyote killed a 3-year-old girl — the only human fatality from a coyote ever recorded. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, that tragedy was linked to the direct feeding of coyotes by residents in the area.
Glendale has a long history of struggling with coyote encounters, and had taken a number of significant steps — some positive, some negative — after the 1981 tragedy to mitigate conflicts. On the heels of the girl's death, to appease those who had called for the eradication of coyotes from Glendale, the local government initiated a reactionary and ultimately ineffective campaign to trap and kill dozens of coyotes in and around the city. When this effort failed to suppress the coyote population over the long term, some officials and residents called for a more proactive response. The city then implemented a public outreach campaign to educate residents about how to co-exist with coyotes and mitigate negative encounters. For a time, anyone who contacted the city with an inquiry about coyotes was sent a detailed packet containing information on coyote biology, ecology, and methods for deterring conflicts. In addition, recognizing the need to decrease habituation of coyotes to human food sources, in 1981 the Glendale City Council passed an ordinance prohibiting the feeding of animals outside after 10:00pm.
A combination of factors, however, including a lack of enforcement of the city ordinance, a gradual reduction in proactive community outreach efforts, and increasing human development, led, over time, to a rise in coyote encounters within the city of Glendale.
The impetus for the recent phone call to API was a decision by the Glendale City Council to increase efforts to kill coyotes within and around town. The Council's decision was largely a response to the ardent testimonials of a cat colony caretaker who had lost some of her cats to coyotes. This testimony, combined with fear-mongering news reports warning that "children would be next," resulted in the City Council voting to double the amount of money allocated to killing coyotes. The Council earmarked $24,000 for killing coyotes, but only $4,000 toward increased public education and better enforcement of the feeding ordinance.
API strives to help individuals and communities find humane, non-lethal methods to resolve conflicts between humans and wildlife. We believe that Glendale City Council's actions went against everything this and surrounding communities should have learned from previous encounters with coyotes.
Notably, the Council failed to heed the recommendations of a detailed 1983 study on coyotes in the neighboring town of South Pasadena, a community that had also experienced an increase in coyote encounters. The study — carried out by a task force appointed by the South Pasadena Mayor — was one of the most comprehensive and well-researched community-based studies on coyotes ever written, and remains relevant to this day.
In South Pasadena, the study led to the appointment of a permanent city Animal Commission that largely focuses on public outreach efforts regarding wildlife conflict mitigation. The members of the Glendale City Council seemed not to have familiarized themselves with this seminal report; if they had, it is unlikely that they would have opted to support the increased trapping of coyotes, a method South Pasadena's report strongly recommended against, deeming it non-selective, cruel, and a danger to "non-target animals as well as to humans" that "could lead to lawsuits against public officials."
In addition to not heeding the recommendations of the South Pasadena study, Glendale consistently failed to enforce its own 1982 city ordinance prohibiting the feeding of animals outside at night. According to a source in the Glendale Police Department, as of April 2004, no citation had ever been issued by the city, even though both police and humane society officials acknowledged that people in the area continue to feed coyotes and other animals. Furthermore, the City had curbed its public education outreach efforts and was no longer distributing the detailed coyote education packet once sent to area residents.
API and other animal advocates have appealed to the Glendale Mayor and City Council to rethink their decision to kill coyotes and to focus limited resources on increased public education, outreach, and enforcement of the feeding ban — methods shown to be much more effective than trapping for mitigating coyote conflicts.
At press time, the City Manager's office informed API that Glendale is distributing API's brochure, "Humane Ways to Live with Coyotes," and is increasing its public outreach efforts through community seminars and educational programs.
This Land Is Their Land
The current clash in Glendale is just one recent chapter in a long history of conflict between humans and coyotes.
European explorers first encountered coyotes in the Great Plains region of North America. Because of human-wrought changes to the environment, as well as the near-extirpation of the gray wolf, coyotes have expanded their range three-fold since the mid-1850s. Coyotes now live in every U.S. state (except Hawaii) as well as in much of Canada. They have been spotted cruising the streets of Los Angeles, eating watermelon in Texas, and even perusing the paved environs of New York City's Central Park.
While urban sprawl and development often sound a death knell for many wild creatures, such humanized landscapes have actually worked to the coyote's advantage.
The suburban patchwork of wooded and open areas offers an abundance of "edge" habitat, which the coyote is adept at exploiting. Here, coyotes and other wild animals find plentiful sources of food, water, and shelter. Unsecured garbage, pet food, free-roaming cats and small dogs, rodents, and fruit trees all attract coyotes, who can quickly adapt to the human-modified environment. This high density of food sources allows coyotes to fulfill their nutritional requirements within a much smaller area than in their natural habitat.
With increased coyote density in urbanized areas comes increased numbers of interactions with people. The vast majority of these encounters are merely sightings, and most people are unaware that there are coyotes in their midst, as coyotes generally tend to keep a low profile and avoid humans. Coyotes may, however, prey on cats and small dogs, since these companion animals are similar in size to their natural prey. Although very rare, attacks on people have occurred, primarily when coyotes have become habituated to the presence of humans and begin to directly associate people with food.
While most people welcome the opportunity to see a wild coyote, others respond with fear and prefer that wild animals stay as far away from their communities as possible. Unfortunately, it is often those who want coyotes out of their communities who are the most vocal. The public response to coyotes is frequently knee-jerk and short-sighted, as it was in Glendale, where the faulty assumption was made that killing the coyotes would provide a lasting solution.
Although such "Band-Aid" approaches allow public officials to tell the public that they are "doing something" about the situation, the effectiveness of programs that emphasize lethal control is short-lived, at best. The reasons for this are largely attributable to the well-documented ability of coyote populations to quickly rebound after heavy lethal control efforts.
That coyotes are found in such a wide variety of landscapes is a testament to their ability to survive and even thrive on whatever food is available. As an opportunistic predator, coyotes eat almost anything: from rats, mice, voles, moles, rabbits, and ground squirrels to insects, nuts, lizards, frogs, and fruit.
On the eastern coast of the U.S., where deer are abundant, coyotes sometimes prey on fawns (which helps keep white-tailed deer populations in check); in agricultural areas, they can kill unprotected domestic livestock such as sheep and poultry, particularly when their natural prey has been reduced or eliminated by human activities. In general, however, small rodents and cottontail rabbits comprise the primary base of the coyote's diet. This can be a benefit to communities; coyotes help keep such species' populations in balance, offering free "pest" control services to farmers and suburban neighborhoods.
In addition, coyotes help regulate populations of meso-carnivore populations (meso-carnivores are smaller or mid-sized predators, such as raccoons, opossums, and skunks). In an important study conducted in coastal southern California, the presence or absence of coyotes in patches of sage-scrub habitat was found to control directly the distribution and abundance of smaller carnivores, which in turn altered scrub-breeding bird communities.1 Similar findings involving coyotes have been made elsewhere in North America, revealing both direct and indirect effects on waterfowl, songbirds, and rodents.2 So, in addition to rodent control services, coyotes can help maintain healthy ecosystems and avian diversity by keeping bird-eating predators in check.
Learning Coyotes' Language
To date, few studies have analyzed the dynamics of coyote populations in urban and suburban areas. What studies have been conducted shed some light on how coyotes are able to exploit densely populated human settlements.
In the wild, a coyote's home range averages 10 square kilometers, while in the suburbs, home ranges can be as small as 0.5 square kilometers or as large as 40 square kilometers.3 Overlapping pack territories, and the resultant decreased need to defend territories, allow a greater number of coyotes to occupy an area.
Research has shown that coyotes living in urbanized areas tend to adjust behaviorally to habitat fragmentation and human activities.4 This means that coyotes try to avoid human activities by hunting more at night and at dawn and dusk (although seeing coyotes in the day should not be cause for alarm as this, too, is perfectly normal behavior). Urban coyotes may favor residential habitats over commercial and vacant areas because of the diversity of vegetation, abundance of prey, and availability of cover in residential neighborhoods.5
While some scientists have speculated that coyotes live as solitary individuals or in pairs in urbanized areas, research has shown that coyotes may live in packs, especially if sufficient open space or natural areas are available that allow for little interaction with humans.
One study in Cook County, Illinois, found a number of coyote packs living successfully in a relatively small (8 square miles) forest preserve, just outside Chicago O'Hare International Airport.6 Although the Busse Woods preserve is surrounded by developments and roads, the coyotes studied were thriving and successfully exploiting the fragmented communities surrounding the airport. One coyote, a yearling female, who was live-captured within the preserve and radio-collared, was found to have a remarkable 25-square-mile home range that covered at least 5 municipalities and consisted of heavily developed areas and busy roads.
This research, as well as similar studies conducted in Tucson and Seattle, has shown that solitary coyotes — also known as transients, or "nomads" — may have very large home ranges in urbanized areas, ranging from 10 to 40 square kilometers. Many of these coyotes regularly traverse large interstates, shopping malls, and parking lots, as well as small and large patches of natural habitat. While some coyotes are savvy enough to survive the many dangers posed by urbanization, mortality from automobile collisions is high and may account for up to 50 percent of coyote deaths in urbanized areas.7
Since one coyote can make eleven different vocalizations, the howling of a few is often mistaken for that of many, particularly during mating season, from December through February. It is no surprise that there are more reports of coyotes during this time. In addition, when pups are born, generally in April or May, the parents may become more mobile (in search of food to provision their young) and more aggressive toward people and dogs when defending their dens.
The results of these existing studies, along with further research into the behavior of coyotes in urbanized areas, have implications for community planning, transportation, development, and conservation efforts. By increasing our knowledge and understanding of this intelligent species, we can help support the development of effective and humane approaches to human-coyote conflicts, and can shape a future in which humans and wild animals can live together more peacefully.
Educated Co-Existence
Lethal control — whether in urbanized or agricultural areas — does not provide a long-term solution to conflicts with coyotes, for a variety of reasons.
Unlike wolves, grizzly bears, mountain lions, and other large carnivores, coyote populations are able to rebound when their numbers are depleted. For example, given adequate habitat and prey, female coyotes can increase their litter sizes. In addition, transient coyotes from surrounding regions frequently move in to fill vacant territories. In fact, studies have shown that to suppress a coyote population in a given area over the long-term, 70–90 percent of the coyotes would need to be removed continually. Wildlife managers have found this an untenable bar, and are increasingly realizing that lethal control simply does not work with a species as adaptable and resilient as the coyote.
So, what is the solution when coyotes become a "nuisance" and start killing neighborhood cats and wreaking havoc in garbage cans, compost piles, and bird feeders?
It is critical that community leaders and residents examine the source of the problem. Oftentimes, human-coyote conflicts in urbanized areas result from people intentionally or unintentionally providing coyotes (and other wild animals) with food. Solutions can frequently be found in simple alterations of human behavior: securing garbage cans, putting garbage out the morning of scheduled pick-up instead of the night before, bringing in the dog and cat food — as well as the dogs and cats themselves — at night, picking up around fruit trees, cleaning up compost piles, and basically keeping a "clean house" and a clean neighborhood.
Coyotes are smart, and they can become habituated easily to human environments. Therefore, in addition to removing coyote attractants, ingenuity is called for when trying to outsmart this wily, intelligent, and adaptable animal. For example, motion-activated sprinkler systems can help keep coyotes and other unwanted wildlife out of gardens, while beating the coyote at his ability to adapt to static deterrents.
Time and again, coyotes have proven themselves remarkably resilient animals; it's little wonder that the Navajo called this cunning and resourceful species "God's Dog." If we're smart, we'll recognize that coyotes have much to offer us, not only by keeping ecosystems healthy and diverse, but by providing inspiring examples of ingenuity and adaptability in an ever-changing world.

API, Coyotes, and You
API aims to help communities learn to co-exist with coyotes and other wild animals. Because public education is the critical first step in this process, we have a variety of publications available that can help ease conflicts. Our informative series of brochures, Humane Ways to Live with Wildlife, addresses many of the common questions residents and local officials may have about how to manage conflicts with animals, including coyotes, geese, deer, and many others.
Most people are either misinformed about coyotes or know very little about their behavior and habits. This lack of awareness often engenders fear, which in turn fuels antagonism and reactionary responses. But more and more communities are learning that coyotes are here to stay and that their presence helps maintain healthy ecosystems and species diversity.
Our "Humane Ways to Live with Coyotes" brochure can help communities understand why lethal control is not an effective long-term approach to conflicts with coyotes; describes how to behave if you encounter a coyote; details simple steps people can take to "coyote-proof" their environment; and offers guidance on keeping domestic animals safe from coyotes.

In the Great Lakes State, there is an average of 134 deer/vehicle crashes each day. Although reported deer/vehicle crashes in Michigan declined in 2012 to 48,918 from the 53,592 crashes reported in 2011, many crashes also go unreported, so actual crash numbers are much higher.
In 2012, Oakland County had the most deer/vehicle crashes with 1,683 crashes. The remaining top nine were Kent (1,572), Jackson (1,281), Montcalm (1,182), Lapeer (1,175), Ingham (1,065), Clinton (1,032), Ottawa (1,013), Huron (1,082) and Eaton (1,000).
All motorists should 'think deer' whenever they are behind the wheel, and drive defensively, as if a deer can appear at any moment, because they can!

Heart Failure Before Age 50 Substantially More Common in Blacks
As many as 1 in 100 black men and women develop heart failure before the age of 50, 20 times the rate in whites in this age group, according to new findings from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health. In the study, heart failure developed in black participants at an average age of 39, often preceded by risk factors such as high blood pressure, obesity, and chronic kidney disease 10 to 20 years earlier.

What is Heart Disease and Why Does it Occur? Coronary heart disease is the most common form of heart disease. It is a disorder of the blood vessels of the heart that can lead to heart attack. A heart attack occurs when an artery becomes blocked, preventing oxygen and nutrients from getting to the heart.
Preventing Cardiovascular Disease
In the United States, heart disease is the leading killer among most ethnic groups. Three years ago, over a quarter of all deaths in the U.S. were attributed to heart disease. The Office of Minority Health says that African American men are 30 percent more likely to die from heart disease than white males.
Combating Chronic Disease: A Problem that Plagues Minority Communities
Health care. It's a phrase that conjures anxiety, confusion and frustration in our region and across our nation. And with just cause. As Americans, we spend twice as much on health care as residents of other developed countries, yet our health care system is plagued by poor quality, especially in the treatment of chronic diseases that affect millions of Americans. Within the next decade, we'll begin spending more on health care – nearly one dollar in every five – than we do on the entire federal government today.

TEAMS: Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors, Portland Trail Blazers
Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried sustained a sprained left ankle late in the regular season. The results were good, and Faried is expected to return for the playoffs. However, it's still to be determined if he'll be back in time for the Nuggets' postseason opener against the Golden State Warriors.The team announced yesterday that Faried is hopeful he will be able to play Saturday in the first game of the playoffs. While he's "not making any promises," he did say that "if I'm cleared, then I'm playing."#Nuggets F @kennethfaried35 says sprained left ankle is improving. Asked if he will play in Gm 1 Saturday, he said: "Hopefully."— Denver Nuggets (@denvernuggets) April 18, 2013 The Nuggets and fans initially thought the worst when Faried had to exit on crutches after sustaining his ankle sprain. He's now walking without a boot, and he acknowledged that the ankle is getting better each day.Faried suffered the injury when he stepped on the ankle of Portland Trail Blazers rookie Will Barton while driving to the basket Sunday. If he's unable to make it back for Game 1, the Nuggets have two days of rest before Game 2 and then another off day prior to Game 3, so he expects to be back at some point early in the first round.Follow @hoopsinjurynews

I'm seeing the maxi skirt that doubles as a tube dress around quite a bit this season, but it wasn't until I saw Free People style its version of the convertible dress/skirt in this photo that I really fell for the look.
One skirt (or in the center version, two) styled five different ways. Are you loving these ideas? I am!
See shopping information on this skirt as well as some other affordable versions of the look after the jump!
Free People's Cascade Skirt, pictured above, is available in black, white and tangerine for $88. But if you can't afford this particular skirt, don't fret. Check out these cheaper options ...
This version from Target is just $24.99, and it's getting great reviews from shoppers.
I love this convertible dress/skirt from LOFT because it has straps! It's $59.50, but today, you can get an additional 40% off with the code TAKE40 at checkout!
This Splendid Linen Skirt/Dress (Bloomingdale's, $115) is pricy, but so pretty...
Stripes are so hot this season and this Rugby Stripe Column (Free People, $78) works as a skirt or a dress!
Finally, Old Navy's Maxi Skirt (Old Navy, $29.94) comes in black or panther (pictured) at a very nice price.
What do you think of this convertible look?
Images (top to bottom): Free People, Target, LOFT, Bloomingdales, Free People, Old Navy
Cute if you're young, skinny, and flat-chested. If I wore it as a dress, I'd end up on People of Walmart!
Not true! You could totally wear the LOFT dress in particular, with a cardigan over it if it's a little too bare.
I have to agree with MashaCWP on this one. Maxi's look horrible on people that are short, curvy and have a chest, aka me. I look like a kid trying to wear my mom's clothes if I try to wear one. I would end up on POW if I wore one.
If I had the body, I'd love this.
I'm only 5'2 (and currently fairly curvy) and I practically live in long skirts. I think they look fine on me, personally.
I'm not a fan of maxi skirts or dresses - makes me feel like a Hippie. And the convertible look is kind of cute, but I really am not a fan of the length it ends up being - mid calf or so - by doing that. Meh. Not my style on me. I like it on others though.
I tried to like the maxi dress, but don't good on me at all. I am 5'8, curvy. They make my chest looking huge, 10 lbs heavier.
I think it depends on the maxi. I'm seeing too many large-chested women wearing them with no support up top, which looks HORRIBLE. However, I saw a woman in this Boden maxi yesterday and Y'ALL. She looked AMAZING. I must have this dress now. There was plenty of coverage up top and it's fitted at the ribcage, the skinniest part of all of us.
Also, I had a friend in college who was around 5'1" and curvy- She rarely wore long skirts because she THOUGHT she couldn't pull it off, but it was all in her head! She looked great in long skirts! In general, I think you can't knock a particular clothing style because of your body shape (unless it's just not age appropriate)- You simply have to make sure it fits you right in order to work, and finding a good fit can be very difficult!

Teen Fiction HIGUCHI
Summary: Everybody has a dream, and for Shô Kazamatsuri, that dream is simple: he wants to be the best football player he can possibly be. He's the spirited leader of the Josui Junior High team and everyone looks up to him. In turn, he tries to keep the team together at any cost! Banned from his school's football team for being too short, Shô Kazamatsuri decides there's only one thing left to do: switch schools! But even a change in scenery doesn't help the David Beckham wannabe. On campus, he is mistakenly introduced to everyone as a hotshot football player. When the truth is revealed, Shô drops out of school to practice on his own. Alone, the spunky teenager must work twice as hard to make his dreams come true. He wants to play football so bad he's willing to hustle day and night to make it happen. Packed with action, humour and teenage kicks, Whistle! is a must-read for dreamers (and football fans) of all ages!

For Jeff Taylor, the monthly cost of having Netflix is akin to what he spends at the coffee shop every couple of days.
Taylor subscribes to the online TV service in addition to his cable TV package, making him one of a growing number of Canadians paying for both traditional and at least one online TV service, says Deloitte Canada in its 2014 tech predictions.
Taylor hasn't cut his cable package because he likes some of the TV specialty channels, such as the Food Network and live sports.
But he likes Netflix, too, because it's handy for his children and he can "blow through" 10 seasons of a show in week.
"I never liked the Sunday night cliff hanger," added Taylor, 36, who runs a web design company in Montreal.
And besides, at a penny under $8, he figures the cost is minuscule.
"I'm spending that on a coffee and bagel over two days at Timmy's," said Taylor, referring to his trips to Tim Hortons.
Growing trend
More than 2.5 million Canadian households will have multiple TV subscriptions, paying for TV through a traditional provider and at least one other online TV service, according to the Deloitte study, released Tuesday.
That's up more than 150 per cent from 2012 levels.
"Virtually nobody in Canada is actually stopping paying for TV," said Duncan Stewart, director of research at Deloitte in Toronto.
By the end of 2014, the number of households that will pay for a second basket of TV content will be more than 100 times greater than the number of households that have cut the cord in 2013 and cancelled their TV subscription, Stewart said.
He calls these consumers "cord stackers" as opposed to so-called cord cutters.
About 11.8 million Canadian households subscribed to a traditional TV provider in 2013 while only about 10,000 households cancelled their TV service.
Stewart's second tech trend is that more seniors will use smartphones this year. He predicts seniors will start closing the "smartphone generation gap," adding they are the fastest growing demographic for adopting smartphones, both globally and in Canada.
"Everybody else already owns one. Therefore, the only market left is people 55-plus. Just over 30 per cent of this demographic owns smartphones."
Multiple demographics
Susan Eng of seniors group CARP said she wasn't surprised by the prediction.
"Remember who the seniors are today -- they're boomers who just got to the age called seniors," said Eng, vice-president for advocacy. "They are early adopters of technology to begin with and they've just carried on."
She said a smartphone "unleashes you from staying in your home" and allows seniors to have their family and emergency contacts with them.
And they're a way of staying in touch with family, said Eng, who video chats with her young grandson.
Third on Stewart's list is eVisits, an electronic alternative to face-to-face visits for basic medical diagnoses to help reduce waiting times in hospital emergency rooms. He's predicting there will be 75 million eVisits in 2014 in North America, potentially saving more than $3 billion compared with in-person doctor visits, he said.
"You're not sitting in front of a computer with a webcam."
Instead, a patient fills out online forms screened by nurses and doctors, Stewart said, adding that only 30 to 40 per cent of all doctor visits can be addressed by such eVisits.
Also included in the predictions is the growing appeal of phablets, part tablet and part smartphone. Phablets are expected to represent one quarter of global smartphone sales in 2014, worth $125 billion, Deloitte said.
Deloitte is predicting the market for so-called wearable computers -- watches that check email, fitness bands that track movement and glasses with built-in video screens, will exceed $3 billion. About four million pairs of smart glasses are expected to sell at a price point of about $500, making up the bulk of the sales of wearable computers.
And the global value of premium sports video rights will increase by 14 per cent in 2014, compared with growth of five per cent from 2009 to 2013, Deloitte said.
This surge will be led by North American leagues, including the recent 12-year, multibillion-dollar deal between the National Hockey League and Rogers Communications (TSX:RCI.B) for television and multimedia broadcast rights for NHL games.
"That's not the end of the story. It's going to happen with football, baseball, basketball," Stewart said.

The Brooklyn Nets made two of the biggest splashes of the offseason.
First, they hired one of their former players, point guard Jason Kidd, as their head coach. Kidd, a future Hall-of-Famer, played for the New York Knicks last season.
Then, they pulled off a blockbuster deal, acquiring two other future Hall-of-Famers from the Boston Celtics in swingman Paul Pierce and big man Kevin Garnett.
With swingman Joe Johnson, center Brook Lopez and point guard Deron Williams already in the fold, the Nets figure to have one of the best starting lineups in all of basketball.
However, things aren't off to a great start.
Per the Associated Press, Williams has a sprained ankle. According to the report, Williams was injured while training in Utah and is in a walking boot, but is expected to be ready when the Nets open training camp at Duke University on October 1.
Last season, Williams averaged 18.9 points, 7.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game. He shot 44.0% from the floor, 37.8% from beyond the arc and 85.9% from the charity stripe.

With WinLock you can control how long others can use your computer. It runs from the system tray and requires a password to gain access to the available settings. It loads automatically with Windows and allows you to add an optional startup message, provide audio notification, and set the time limit. Once that limit is reached, Windows is summarily shut down. You can toggle the timer on and off from the tray. When enabled, there is no way around it without the proper password. Parental control system lets you activate filters that allow access to websites that are useful for learning and reference only. That's why responsible parents install WinLock on every computer that their children use. Window blocking blocks virtually any application or any part of it: window, popup message, dialog box. WinLock also lets you to disable Windows hot keys (such as Alt-Ctrl-Del, Alt-Tab, Ctrl-Esc, etc.), lock Windows desktop, hide the Start button and Switch bar, lock files and folders, filter Internet content, apply lockdown security for public-access computers (companies, schools, hotels, public agencies) and much more.
Version 6.11 Features
Apply different restrictions separately to each user account. Now you can create different protection schemes for each user account in a multiple-user environment. For each user, WinLock will activate only the selected restrictions. Moreover, it is possible to suspend all forms of WinLock protection for the specified user.
Internet-related restrictions. WinLock Professional provides you with a group of selected Internet Explorer policies and enhanced content filtration suited to control and protect Internet access.
Website content filtration. The Professional edition not only checks the address of the site, but also scans the entire page, including the hidden meta-tags for any prohibited words. For example, if you define "sex" as a keyword, any Web site contains this word will be prohibited. This makes possible to prohibit access to questionable Web sites - notably for public-access computers in schools and libraries.
Built-in file encryptor. You are likely to have confidential documents on your computer, which you may want to encrypt. LockBox Wizard will help you to protect any information. It uses a very strong Blowfish crypto-algorithm. Protected files cannot be decrypted without the correct password.

Tallahassee, FL (Sports Network) - Florida A&M University named Earl Holmes as its new head football coach Friday.
Holmes' contract, which is for four years with an annual salary of $200,000, still needs to be approved by the FAMU board of trustees.
Holmes had been the defensive coordinator for the Rattlers the last two years and served as the team's interim coach for the final two games of this past season after Joe Taylor stepped down on Nov. 8 during his fifth season with the school.
The Rattlers went 1-1 under Holmes and finished the season with a 4-7 record.
"We are excited about the new era of FAMU football under the leadership of Earl," Florida A&M director of athletics Derek Horne said. "He has done an awesome job of transitioning immediately to acting coach and maintaining the program through this crucial recruiting period. We look forward to his dedicated efforts in this next level of leadership."
Holmes was a linebacker for the Rattlers from 1992-95 and is the school's all- time leading tackler with 509.
He was then taken in the fourth round of the NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers and had a 10-year career in the league, also playing with the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions.

Article 32 Hearing Expected For Burke
Updated On: Jul 18 2011 12:24:54 PM EDT
Fort Campbell soldier Brent Burke is due in court for an Article 32 hearing in a couple of weeks, according to a base spokesman.
An Article 32 hearing is a military hearing similar to a preliminary hearing.
Initially the hearing was expected to be held Tuesday, but it will now be delayed as a new investigating officer has been assigned to the case.
The Army has charged Burke with premeditated murder in the 2007 slayings of his estranged wife, Tracy, and her former mother-in-law, Karen Comer, in Comer?s Rineyville home.
Burke is currently being held at the Christian County jail.
Last month, a Hardin County judge dropped charges against Burke after two mistrials and two hung juries in the case.

LANSING (WKZO) -- The Powerball jackpot has grown to 550 million dollars, and it could get bigger still before the drawing. The Michigan Lottery's Andi Brancato says that's because sales will continue to rise until the last minute, especially on Saturday, hours ahead of the drawing.
She says 550 million is indeed one jackpot for the record books -- it's the third highest ever in the United States.
Your odds of winning the Powerball jackpot -- one in 175 million. If you were to win and take the lump sum payout, you'd get 350.1 million dollars. Or, you could take an annual payment over 30 years.

This petition is now closed. You can still make a difference in the Care2 community by signing other petitions today.
we've got signatures, help us get to 1,000 by June 25, 2011
The intent of this petition is simple : To immediately cease the import of fur from china. P.E.T.A has uncovered inhumane facilities in china which stuffs cats in cages so jammed they cannot move only to later be viciously skinned alive, this fur is then sold to major retailers frequently being labeled as rabbit fur in a deceiving manner. Dogs were also found crammed in cages where they suffer mentally and physically and are not fed. Signing this peition will reduce the amount of animals suffering as the demand for sale would drop if the U.S banned the import. I am pushing local congressmen to introduce a bill in 2011 please help through signing my petition.

Time Pieces : All the times of eleven-year-old Valena's life are coming together this summer - backtime, forwardtime, nowtime. As if in a dream, the story - her own story - is passed on to her about her great-grandfather's travels on the Underground Railroad to freedom. Who is she, after all? Backtime somehow merges with nowtime as Valena suddenly sees how the chilling insensitivity of her own rural town echo similar cruelties of long ago. Finally, it is the strength she finds in her family's powerful history as well as the abiding love in her own home that enables her to begin creating her own future in a spirit of confidence and triumph.

text: The owners of the eyesore formerly known as Eastgate Consumer Mall have put the property back on the market at an asking price of $3.5 million. Dallas-based JTL Capital LLC received two conditional offers on the property during a February auction, but both potential deals fell through, said Gordon J. Greene, a Cleveland broker who represents the owners. Greene said several potential buyers have looked at the 40-acre property and are weighing redevelopment uses ranging from retail to distribution or warehouse space. All of the potential plans would involve demolition of the 370,000-square-foot mall, which was built in 1957. The city repeatedly has offered to pitch in tax abatements to spur redevelopment of the languishing property. What would you like to see here?

Ideally I would like my screen to dim after 10 second or so but never go black and still be touch sensitive when I want it to be.

Is this possible? The closest I've got is to increase the screen time-out in display settings to 10 minutes, but this leaves the screen on full brightness for all that time wasting battery.

"This card is so perfect and dainty. I bought it as a baby gift for a friend. It is great for a baby girl or a big girl! I used an all lowercase font to make it more juvenile and informal. The quality of the paper is better than I expected."
"This is such a pretty little card. I love the quality of the paper and printing. Impeccable service and products every time I have used Tiny prints. The only thing I don't like is the logo on the back..."
"These cards come in a beautiful sage green color with pink accents. Our shower had a bird theme so I used these as thank you notes. The paper was of heavy quality with a smooth finish-- high quality and a great choice."
"Easily edited for personalization. We had used the same design for shower invitations so the theme was carried out, but they could certainly stand on their own."
"This is a simple yet very sweet card. Would make a lovely gift for any girl/woman. I chose black ink for the text, which is a nice contrast to the pink."

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Flash Drive: 2008 BMW X6
This 2008 review is representative of model years 2008 to 2014.
By Staff of MSN Autos
BMW's new X6 is an interesting vehicle that combines the roofline of a coupe with the body of an SUV, in theory to create a sportier SUV. BMW already has a sporty SUV in the X5, and even though the X6 is 2 inches wider and 3 inches lower than the X5, when you get behind the wheel it still feels like a big SUV. The X6 xDrive35i is powered by BMW's sweet twin-turbocharged inline-6, which is fabulous in the 3-Series but feels really taxed hauling all this weight around. The X6 definitely has the feel of a BMW, but the steering is uncharacteristically vague on-center. While it's not as nimble or engaging as expected from BMW, it still handles admirably for a nearly 5,000-pound machine. The steep slope of the roofline compromises both headroom and visibility for rear-seat passengers as well as cargo space. The X6 seems to be more about style, with form taking precedence over function. – Mike Meredith
The BMW X6 just doesn't make any sense to me. It looks like it should be a cross between a sensible rugged off-road SUV and a curvaceous sports car with good on-road handling. Sadly it's not. The interior has less space than the X5 on which it is based, it lacks the true moves of a sports car, yet offers the lousy fuel economy of an SUV. Clearly BMW hasn't had much luck with their first "crossover" vehicle. Admittedly, the X6 does corner better than any other SUV I've tried, with minimal body roll and a great ride, but it's not good enough to encourage truly spirited driving. Commuting to work in the X6 just made me feel silly. BMW would be fine just sticking with the X5, for it is far more practical but only slightly less sporting. – Paul Hagger
There's no question that BMW has driving dynamics down pat. Get behind the wheel of this new X6 and it handles like a car half its size and weight – it hugs the corners and offers impressive acceleration. But though this BMW excels in driving, it lacks in design. I don't remember a recent model from the Bavarian automaker that took my breath away with its beauty, and unfortunately X6 is no exception. The sleek roofline would look perfect on a sport sedan, as would the big 20" alloys with high-performance rubber, but the proportions seem wrong on the X6 – it's like a sport sedan that's too thick around the middle. The X6 is a big vehicle, but inside there's only seating for four, although cargo space is plentiful. If you're looking for a powerful SUV that stands out from the crowd, the X6 definitely fits the bill. – Perry Stern
