The Fountain of Youth
Water quality varies everwhere, often delivering high levels of chlorine and heavy metals through our showerheads and into our hair. Such impurities can dehydrate hair and skin, dull hair color and reduce manageability. For Jonathan product we wanted better water. That's why the 5-part system begins with de-ionized shower water and purified water with botanical blends in Jonathan product.
Simply Pure
Hair that looks shiny, brilliant, and full of color in the salon can in less than a week become dull, brittle, and faded. Shampoos containing sodium laurel sulfate, or other hidden sulfates are a major factor. Jonathan Product shampoos replace damaging sulfates with a natural, sugar-derived surfactant that gently cleanses hair, lifting away impurities.
Healthy Hair Diet
Why vegan? Why compromise? Jonathan Product Essential Water based formulations are crafted from select natural oils, exotic botanical butters, and fruit, plant, and sea extracts. Wherever possible, natural alternatives to wheat, dairy, and animal derived ingredients are used to keep your hair healthy and pure.

Myth of the working mom
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 07-17-2008 - 7:41am
by Ellen LuptonSeptember 12, 2006
"How do you do it all?"
I often get this question, and my answer is this: no one does it all. Doing it all means, of course, having a career and having kids, and it's one of the great myths of our era. The myth is that you can pursue these two essentially incompatible activities without screwing up either one. The myth is that having children will infuse your professional work with a wondrous energy (akin to the fabled second-trimester glow), and that having a job will make you a more interesting and fulfilled person, and thus a better parent.
One year ago, I had the privilege of sitting on a panel called "Women Rock!" at the national AIGA Design Conference in Boston. Devoted to the life issues faced by female designers, the panel sought to "offer unique insights on juggling career and family, dealing with stress, and how all the chaos offers training and inspiration for becoming a better designer, a better businessperson and a better mother." That program blurb neatly sums up the myth, suggesting that the chaotic life of the working mom provides the ultimate training ground for getting better at everything.
So there we were on the stage, a group of middle-aged female designers: Jessica Helfand, Deanna Kuhlmann-Leavitt, Bonnie Siegler, Emily Potts (who graciously organized the panel) and myself. We all had kids, and we all had jobs. Bonnie, in her early forties, had just had her second baby, who was being patiently handled by her husband sitting in the front row. We were all relatively successful, some more prominent than others, but let's say none of us was exactly Stefan Sagmeister, about to start carving letters in our chests with an Xacto knife. (If any of us would, I guess it would be Bonnie.)
The audience was eager to find out how to do it all, but one of the best questions came from Boston-based designer Fritz Klaetke, who asked why there weren't any men on the panel. After all, one of the ways women manage in today's world is having supportive partners like Fritz, who exemplifies the new model of hyper-involved, ultra-engaged fatherhood. Fritz is an excellent designer, a leader in the Boston design community, and a deeply committed dad. My own husband, Abbott Miller (who is a much better mom than I am), wants to publish a magazine called Working Father—an absurd idea pointing to our societal assumption that dads have to work anyway.
The event in Boston last year got me thinking about work and parenting and all the fudging and corner-cutting we do in order to pursue them both. Younger mothers, I've learned, are more likely to stay at home with their small children than women my age. I was born in 1963 at the tail end of the Baby Boom, and I grew up in a household with two working parents, always believing that work would define my life. Generation X is the swath of people born between 1965 and 1979. A common experience for this group is the "absent father" or being a child of divorce. Perhaps because of that experience, as well as the general trend towards downward mobility, Generation X moms and dads both put more value on spending time at home with their kids and less value on professional success.
A strange conversational dance occurs when two women meet and begin finding out who works and who stays at home. It's awkward to ask directly, so you look for cues. (A mom who wears tennis whites when she drops off the kids at school might not have a job, but you never know; she could be a lawyer with a home office or a brain surgeon who works the night shift.) The infamous message board UrbanBaby assigns codes for one's employment status: SAHM for moms who stay at home; WOHM for those who work outside the home.
Why does it matter? There's a "mommy war" going on, and members of each side often feel more comfortable with other women who have made choices like theirs. Furthermore, we are often eager to validate our own decisions as the best ones for our children. The SAHMs occupy the moral high ground in this matter—they're the ones who have made the big sacrifice, spending crucial years of their lives almost exclusively with their kids, refusing to hand over their babies and toddlers to nannies, au pairs, and day care facilities for eight or ten hours a day.
It seems obvious to me that mothers and fathers are the best "care givers" for small children, and research more or less bears this out. Working moms try to argue that their own kids are getting the better deal: earlier socialization, more independence, an immune system toughened by exposure to pathogens, and, above all, the opportunity to draw inspiration from a busy mother whose mental life and personal identity derives not just from her children, but also from a career. But young children, as I've observed them, are deeply self-involved. Until my kids reached elementary school age, they rarely took interest in either parent, beyond our readiness to entertain, protect, sooth, feed, transport and so on. Little kids want to be with their parents because we make them feel safe, whole and happy, not because they admire our professional achievements.
Knowing this in my heart, I nonetheless made my own decision to continue working while my children were small. I look at my kids now, ages eight and twelve, and wonder what choices they will make. Will they have kids? Will they have jobs? (Will jobs still exist when they grow up?) Would they have become happier and more fulfilled adults if I had quit working for eight or nine years? I'll never know the answer, any more than I will know what kind of professional success I would have achieved if I hadn't slowed down to have children.
I vividly recall a bath-time conversation when my son Jay was in second grade. With his head covered in a foamy helmet of shampoo, he announced, "Most of my friends' moms don't work." Dismay lurched deep in my gut. "What do you think about that?" I asked. "I dunno, " he said.
When I ask him the same question now, he says he likes my job because I teach him "cool design stuff," like how to use Flash and how to publish his designs and animations on the web. My younger daughter, Ruby, feels similarly. Getting dressed for camp recently, she announced, "Mommy, you're cool." "Wow," I said. "Why do you think I'm cool?" (Surely it wasn't because of my Lands End circle skirt.) "Because you're a designer, and we get to design things together." My tween-age children are now finding value in my professional skills. My work has become an opportunity for creative companionship with my kids. Indeed, design is becoming part of their own identities, for now, as they each stake out a place in the world of digital media and visual art—areas full of intrigue and possibility.
At that same conference in Boston last year, Alex Isley organized a breakout session about teaching kids to be designers. He argued for the social importance of teaching your own kids—and all the others kids around you—to be designers in their daily lives. David Peters, another "working father" attending the conference, talked to me and some other parents about organizing events for kids for the next AIGA national conference, so we can bring our children along and have hands-on activities for them to do all weekend. My kids and I would like to be the first volunteers to staff the booth. We'll do the best we can, and we'll be working.

I think the author is off on this one.

I would certainly concede that there are some careers that would make it more 'difficult', but like you said there are options that make it doable.
I don't doubt there are parents out there who try to do too much and end up sacrificing parenting for their career but I don't think that's at all what this author was hitting on--she was lumping ALL working women into one group of women saying they can't work AND parenting without sacrificing one or the other and I just don't see that as truth.

Well, "fulltime" school covers only about 50% of a fulltime job's hours (including commute). Plus, not everyone has full day kindergarten. There are teacher days off, student days off, winter break, spring break, summer break, half days, snow days, ice days, snow and ice delays........... The normal school year covers 180-190 days and the normal fulltime work year cover 240 days. There are before and after programs- but many tend to close when the schools close.
Many families I know with sahps, worked the first few years of their child's life. It was easier to work and easier to find full coverage.
Plus, children who are in "fulltime" school frequently have after school actitivies or enrichment than occur before a fulltime working parent may get home. It is much easier to arrange childcare coverage during the pre - schools days (Ages 1-6) than during the elementary years.
Then, they become teenagers. I know more than one family who decided to have a sahp during the Junior High years rather than before. There are very few supervised programs for the 7th and 8th grade age range.
Plus, many have more than one. So, if you have a sahp who wants to stay home until his/her children are in "fulltime" school and she has two- 2 years a part. Then that parent would stay home 8-9 years.
I don't think most sahps *intend* to stay home longer than a few years, but circumstances change and frequently that is extended. I know, for me, we only intended to for me to sah for 2-4 years. I thought once my boys were in "fulltime" school, it would get easier. However, I was wrong. I don't know if I will ever go back to a full time career type job. I do anticipate working at least some hours at some point. I can see one of my volunteer "jobs" evolving into a part time paid job - if the organization starts to grow substantially.
I also see many more "virtual" sahps than "pure" sahps. The "virtual" sahp keeps his/her toe in his/her career by having a consultant gig that can be 10-20 very flexible hours a week. So, on paper, there is little to no gap.
I think most sah "gaps" are less than 8-9 years, but it isn't rare to have an 8+ year gap either.

My Firearms Moose Hunt
There doesn't seem to be much going on here right now, so I'm posting this little report.
Just got back from my moose hunt in zone 47 in Ontario. We had seven hunters and one bull tag.
A friend who's a member of the North American Hunting Club got a couple of aerosol cans of cow moose urine. Since he couldn't hunt this year, he gave them to me to try out, and I gave them to a couple of our guys (Paul and Dave) who were planning to try calling moose. This method rarely works this late in the season.
The two guys went out opening morning. Paul was the caller, and Dave set up about 50 yds down wind from him at the edge of a beaver marsh about 85 yds wide.
They each sprayed about 10 seconds, and commenced calling. After about 20 minutes Paul began hearing an answer at right angles to the wind direction, while Dave heard a moose from directly down wind.
Dave had two moose come out across the beaver pond, and fired at the larger. They turned to the left, and when they separated sufficently, he put another round at the bigger one - it went down in a pile.
These first two pictures are of Dave with his moose, and him and a couple of the guys with it as well.
Once we began cleaning it we heard a noise in the distance, and lo and behold, look at what showed up:
It was an MNR chopper, which they set down on the next hill. An MNR CO and an OPP CO came over, inspected the moose and the tag, and then asked to see our licences. Over-all, they were very friendly, courteous and easy going - much different from most of my previous encounters with COs. They left us all with a very positive impression.
Afterward Dave posed with the COs and their pilot.
The CO said the moose was about 4 1/2 years old, and I green scored him at 149 with a 48 2/8 inch spread.
We saw two more bulls during the week, but for the first time in several years, I didn't see a moose during the gun hunt - I did see a stinky old bear though.
BTW, this is Dave's first moose.

Synergy Program
The University of Wyoming was selected as the 2007 Hesburgh winner in recognition of its Synergy Program, which offers structured first-year support for underprivileged and under-prepared students. The following four independent judges, all with distinguished backgrounds in higher education, reviewed this year's entries and selected the Synergy Program as the winner: G. Edward Haring, President, Kellogg Community College; Margaret Miller (Chair), Professor, Curry School of Education, University of Virginia; Mary Deane Sorcinelli, Associate Provost, University of Massachusetts, Amherst; and Gordon Watts, Executive Vice President, National Park Community College.
First implemented in 2001, the Synergy Program is a first-year, classroom-based program for provisionally admitted students (those with low ACT or high school GPA scores) designed to help them build relationships with peers and faculty, and succeed in their coursework. According to the University of Wyoming and national statistics, provisionally admitted students are at significantly greater risk for academic failure or departure than other students. Synergy instructors work collaboratively throughout the year to integrate thematic, text and assignment-based connections among writing, research and reading, public speaking and government courses. In addition to learning democratic and community-based pedagogical approaches, instructors learn strategies for meaningfully integrating speaking, writing, reading and citizenship literacies.

2007 TIAA-CREF Theodore M. Hesburgh Certificate of Excellence Recipient
Columbia College of South Carolina
In 1999, Columbia College launched a redesigned core curriculum based on several years' analysis of its goals for liberal learning. At the center are two required interdisciplinary courses, Liberal Arts 101 and 102, designed to help students make connections across disciplines and to improve skills in critical thinking, writing and speaking. This reform has engaged almost half of the faculty in comprehensive, rigorous faculty development events. Workshops, training sessions for teaching the courses, and weekly faculty meetings have begun radically to alter the philosophy and caliber and teaching and learning at Columbia College. Stressing the constant goals of collaboration, interdisciplinarity, and the fundamental value of the liberal arts, faculty development efforts have helped reorient faculty to concentrating on deepening students' learning and figuring out ways of encouraging students to become self-motivated critical thinkers and active learners.

Waving to the lovely splix71, who I met last week on a little RDS-inspired "oh my god I'm actually visiting the town you live in we should be BEST FRIENDS" date. She treated me, what a classy lady. Then we talked about hot gay sex for 2 hours.
All I can say is - when is the next one?
So I've been awkwardly trying to hide my age on Tumblr since I came on board, but here's the deal. I'm 57 fucking years old, and I've been into fandom since Spock/Kirk zines, and I write really hot het sex for a living, and I have fandom friends of all ages and I support writers of all kinds, and feel all the feels just like everyone else, but I've also LIVED a LOT and have things to offer, but I stay quiet because I think I'm too old to join in. Well, screw that. This blog rocks.

Hurricane Sandy Knocks Out A Disabled Man's Breathing Machine And A Heartwarming Journey To Save Him Unfolds
Crystal Evans has never met Nick Dupree. Nick lives in the Tribeca area of Manhattan and Crystal lives in Boston. The only time they speak is to share advice and stories on an online forum dedicated to people with mitochondrial disease - a disease they both share.
Nick, however, has a much more severe case than Crystal, and though they are both wheelchair bound, Nick's disease requires him to be on a feeding tube and ventilator. So when Superstorm Sandy approached, and New York City slowly began to lose power, Crystal immediately thought of Nick. So, as one does, she opened up her Facebook to see if Nick was okay. Turns out, she was right to be worried. Nick had posted that his power had gone out, and the nurses who usually help him couldn't get into the city because all public transit had been suspended.
Nick only had so many hours before all of his equipment would shut off. And that's when Crystal sprung to action, organizing a massive effort to save Nick Dupree.
Transcript coming soon.

- Place 1 cup low-fat buttermilk in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag; add 4 (6-ounce) catfish fillets, turning to coat. Seal and chill 20 minutes, turning once.
- Remove catfish fillets from buttermilk, discarding buttermilk. Sprinkle catfish fillets evenly with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt-free Creole seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Place 3 cups crushed cornflakes in a shallow dish. Dredge catfish fillets in cornflakes, pressing cornflakes gently onto each fillet. Place fillets on a rack coated with cooking spray in a roasting pan.

Jiminy Cricket! I have a conscience!
So Santa, please read this.
Last night while I was dragging my body away from our bed after putting my son to sleep so I can close the store downstairs and check for inventory and sales, I braced myself for the Math that was about to hit me like a tidal wave. Man, I hate calculations. In the midst of my battle with numbers, I was suddenly called outside. I was happy to take a break from all the computing but at the same time annoyed at being disturbed in the middle of my ordeal. It was past midnight and I couldn't for the life of me think of anyone wanting to see me. It could have been a customer wanting some midnight grub or perhaps it was an emergency (because my booty call days are over so I'm not going to assume that), but who knows? I wasn't particularly curious but I got up lethargically armed with a folder, some sheets scribbled with figures, and biting my new favorite 15-cent (Php 6.00) pen just because the ink is so dark and it's leaky just the way I like it. I know it would have been better to have a Glock 22 in hand but I don't think I have a single violent bone in my body anymore.
Then I saw a familiar face behind the Atis tree that is in front of our house and heard a familiar voice pleading, "Mai, do you have a minute?" Of course, she was speaking in vernacular but I'm translating, so bear with me. "Yes?" I replied, more interrogative than I should have stated. "Lola is in the hospital," she continued. "OMG, what happened?" It was natural to ask that I suppose so she explained that her grandmother had an asthma attack and was brought to the hospital and she just came from one of our relatives' house nearby to borrow money but was unsuccessful in her plight. She was holding something wrapped in thick paper and she must have caught me staring at it so she continued to say, "I need $10 (actually, Php 400) to buy medicine. I have this bag with me and I would like to leave this to you so I can borrow some cash. I will pay you back tomorrow when my mom wires me money." It was only then that I realized what was happening. I don't know what my mom would have done in situations like these but I'm not her and as much as I try to do some corporal works of mercy, it does not occur to me immediately how to respond to incidences like what was happening. My mom has a huge heart; maybe it comes with her faith, and honestly, I can only do so much.
"Okay, wait for a while. Let me go in and see what I have since I'm still in the middle of counting some money," I told her and went upstairs to tell my husband about the situation. Of course, I can't take money from the store's register so I got the $5 (Php 200) that was in my wallet. It's a small amount, only half of what she needed, but hey I'm not rich and it was all I have left to spare. Running back downstairs and opening the locked gate to give her the cash, I said, "Please take this. It's not much but I hope it helps." I did not say I wanted her to pay me back but I think she understood what I meant and thanked me profusely before walking away and disappearing into the night. Note that I also didn't accept the bag that she offered to leave behind, perhaps as a collateral.
Minutes later as soon as I was done with my Math ordeal, I was in the bathroom taking a quick shower before hitting the sack and it dawned upon me (because for most people, we all think about life and get epiphanies when we are showering!) that she may have been just pulling my leg. Now I was getting all worked up simultaneously as I worked up a lather to wash my grimy hair. Was she telling the truth about needing money to buy medicine? How much does a pack of shabu cost these days? All these crazy thoughts are now running in my head. Then as I rinsed, I asked myself aloud, "What would Jesus do?" My reverberated voice sent chills down my spine, after all it was well past 1 in the morning. But then I could hear my subconscious answer, "You should have offered to drive her to the pharmacy and take her back to the hospital so she could give the medicine to her Grandma." By doing so, I can also verify if she was telling me the truth!!! Now, I feel terrible. Not guilty, but I feel so inadequate in my actions.
I told my husband the conversation I had with myself in the bathroom and he consoled me by saying, "At least you did something, you know." I thought he was going to start cracking some jokes about me talking to myself again. It might not have been the best that I could have done for the person who needed help but damn, I have a conscience! It does appear so and I am inconvenienced now. I told myself I would do better next time and whenever I am faced with moments like these, I think I have a pretty good idea of what I would do then.
Still I am surprised at being able to come up with the correct solution, as far as I am concerned. My mind is so not analytical and I'm telling you that I'm no good at situational judgment tests. Most of the time I leave the decisions to my husband or my mother when I am confronted by circumstances. I have become dependent. Ugh.
Now, for my 2013 New Year's resolution, I will be better and do better… especially with people. I am going to start putting words into actions and stop being oblivious to my surroundings. My mind tends to drift a lot so I'm thinking I should be more aware of the present. It hurts me to remember how many people have taken advantage of my kindness and generosity in the past (mostly financially) so I guess that is why my faith in humanity has been destroyed a bit. Maybe it's time to start believing again. But this time, I'm going to use my conscience as a weapon… after all, I think that I do have one and now I fully intend to use it.

In case your visa application has been successful, you will be issued an In-Principle Approval letter. This letter states the basic conditions and required documents for collecting your visa at MOM. In order to collect your visa at MOM you need a second document: The Issuance Letter. This is valid for most types of visas. You can either ask your employer/sponsor for that letter or request it to be issued by an agency such as VisaExpress.

Double Chocolate Triple Ginger Tart Print Recipe
Preheat oven to 325°F. In the bowl of a food processor combine ginger snap crumbs with melted butter and process until moist. Pour mixture into an 11-inch tart pan with removable bottom; press firmly into pan bottom and up sides. Place pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Set aside. Add chopped 72% dark chocolate and heavy whipping cream to a medium saucepan. Place over low heat and stir gently until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside. In a medium bowl whisk together egg yolks, egg, sugar, flour, cayenne pepper, salt and cinnamon. Gradually whisk chocolate mixture into egg mixture until well blended. Pour into crust and smooth out to edges. Bake until filling puffs slightly at edges and center is softly set, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool in pan 35 minutes. While tart is cooling, prepare the milk chocolate flakes. To do this, let the unwrapped milk chocolate bar come to slightly higher than room temperature. Hold the bar in one hand—you may want to hold it in a piece of parchment or waxed paper to stop the bar from melting in your hand—then slowly and carefully, use a vegetable peeler to shave along the length of the bar to form chocolate flakes. Finally, gently remove tart pan sides and using a spatula, carefully slide tart onto a serving dish. Once completely cooled, top with milk chocolate flakes and fresh fruit. Cut into 12 wedges and serve.
Serves: 12
Cooking Time: 60 Minutes

From Topic: Toodledo Redesign - July 2011
I stopped using TD over a year ago and missed the re-design. Frankly, the old layout and design were part of why I stopped using it (I found it hard to use).
WOW! This redesign is amazingly better. I'm guess I'm glad I took a break and let you work out any kinks, and glad I decided to take another look. So far its great.
Thanks for keeping it advancing!

From Topic: Slim version - Add Task missing
I'm using the Firefox plug-in and also noticed today that Add Task is missing. fyi
Posted: Jul 28, 2008
From Topic: Firefox Add-on Updated
Suggestion for the Firefox Add-on (perhaps other slim versions also):
I think we need a navigation control for navigating up one level from the current view. Perhaps more implementation of the breadcrums available on some views.
E.g. I view a task in a folder and want to look at other tasks in the same folder. How do I get back to the folder list (i.e. up one level)? Also, if I add a sub-task to an existing task, how do I get back to the parent task so I can add another sub-task?
When navigating Contexts or Folders you give breadcrums at the top to go back, but not in the examples I cited. If I click the Toodledo icon I go to the start, if I click refresh I get to my default view.
ThanX for considering.
(p.s. looking forward to a better date picker too.)

From Topic: What new connections do you want to see?
I may be talking about things I don't understand, but if you synced with Mac OS/X Sync Services, wouldn't that open up a lot of other possibilities for devices and applications that also support Sync Services? Just a thought off the top of mind.
Oh, and I second (or third, or fourth) the native Blackberry option. Much as I love the idea of an iPhone, there are a lot more of us Blackberry users out here (for now).
I'll post some interface suggestions elsewhere. ThanX for the good work as you keep advancing.

From Topic: How are you using Folders?
Great ideas everyone, thanks for sharing. Everyone finds the methods that work for them.
GTD "Projects" are outcomes you want to achieve, with more than one action, completed within a year. I already have 16 folders--ok a couple should probably be goals--and more I need to add. I've struggled with Toodledo folders because I find them hard to work with in this volume. I need to add folders/projects quickly and on the fly (almost at the same time as tasks). I need to be able to list folders/projects for review and to print them to take with me.
Still, Toodledo gives me access from home or work which helps solve my Mac at home, Windows at work challenge, and seems more complete in other ways than other tools I've looked at. Hoping for more development and flexibility added to folders over time.
Appreciate suggestions and thoughts.

HLK-RM04 with I2S and SPI
One my project requires mono audio and graphics LCD over WiFi. HLK-RM04 is very cheap board and can do just what i need, with some hacks :)
In this example i use simple app to stream audio over WiFi to this boad. I2S is using DMA and double buffering. Audio is generated using 8bit mono DAC, MCP4801.
SPI is semi-hardware; clock and data lines are hardware SPI, but chip select is hacked GPIO inide SPI driver. This is way faster than bitbanging. I have also included simple graphics library.

Female viewers over 40 have become an underserved demographic, but Hollywood throws them a bone with Evening, the type of unapologetic weepie that used to get made regularly, but hasn't materialized as much since the 1990s. The genre clearly hasn't lost its credibility with actresses, as a talented selection of them turn up here -- Vanessa Redgrave, Glenn Close, Meryl Streep, Toni Collette, and Claire Danes, to name just a few. Acclaimed cinematographer Lajos Koltai, a second-time director after shooting some 50 films, seems to know what performances he wants, and for the most part gets them. (As may be no surprise from someone with his eye, the Newport setting also looks gorgeous.) The problem with Evening, then, is the "so what?" factor, which tends to undercut numerous films that romanticize love stories from decades in the past. Even with a sprinkling of real tragedy, this particular wedding-weekend romance just doesn't seem epic enough that its details would resurface to Ann (played by Danes and Redgrave) on her death bed. The idea of "the one that got away" has a definite tragic romanticism for genre fans, but it also raises the bar, requiring the filmmakers to demonstrate why the dashing Harris (Patrick Wilson) had more substance than a weekend fling. For fans of Susan Minot's book, his character was also changed from an opportunistic womanizer to a blandly sympathetic gentleman, diminishing the "dangerous allure" he needs to project. Completing the structural similarity to films like How to Make an American Quilt, the younger generation also has its set of complementary issues to work through. But Collette and Natasha Richardson (Redgrave's actual daughter) get short-changed on their half of this equation, as the ways Ann became a not-so-great mother to them are neither detailed nor interesting -- another change from Minot's novel.

Country Brand Ranking - Tourism Dimension
The U.S.A. is the undisputed best Nation Brand in the world for the third consecutive year, in the Tourism Dimension
The top 5 most successful Nation Brands for the Tourism dimension are Brand USA (1) and the European tourism powerhouses of Spain (2), Germany (3), France (4) and the United Kingdom (5). Observably, out of these countries, Germany (3) has improved 4 places from last year. Among the Asian countries, Thailand (6) is in the lead while the next best Asian country is China (10). However, China (10) has fallen significantly out of the top 5. Unsurprisingly, the rest of the Asian countries in the top 25 include Turkey (9th), Malaysia (15th), Singapore (17th) and the Republic of Korea (18th). These provide a strong point of reference to the Asian region, as an upcoming tourist destination for international travelers.

Count Larry Riley as the second GM to admit he made a mistake by cutting Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin.
The Golden State Warriors signed Lin after he went undrafted, but the Harvard product only played 29 games for them last season. He was cut by Golden State in December and GM Larry Riley says he never envisioned Lin becoming a good starting point guard.
"We always felt there would be some chance he'd be a backup point guard," Riley told The New York Times. "I have egg on my face in telling you that I did not think he was going to become a starting point guard with a good team. He's doing that right now."
Rockets GM Daryl Morey also admitted Thursday that he made a mistake by cutting Lin. Both teams knew Lin was good enough to be on their roster, but they didn't realize he was good enough to produce as a starter. Now Lin is starring for the Knicks and making each of them (and every other NBA GM who passed on him) look bad.

With Major League Baseball being in its annual All Star Break Pre-Deadline lull, any piece of news is huge.
One MLB official has told Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports that the Cubs and Rangers are getting closer on a deal for Matt Garza. Rosenthal notes that prospects from multiple levels are being discussed in the deal, including Rangers' top prospect Mike Olt. It was also reported earlier today by ESPN's Buster Olney that the Cubs were calling for "last and best" offers for Garza, an indication that a trade is near.
Garza, 29, has had a spectacular season so far. He's gone 6-1 with a 3.17 ERA after returning from the DL. Over his career, Garza has a 63-62 record with a solid 3.80 ERA. He is a free agent for the first time next year, and should be in line for a fairly large multi-year deal.
Mike Olt is the 19th best prospect in baseball according to MLB.com. He's struggled a bit in the minors this year, hitting .217/.313/.417 with 10 homers, but scouts say that he could be playing every day at third base right now. The problem is that the Rangers have Adrian Beltre playing in front of him.

TAZEWELL (WVVA)--- Friends, family, and fellow officers filled a gym in Tazewell on Saturday to remember the man they say was taken too soon.
"It is hard and we are still dealing with it today," said Trooper Matthew Coake who worked alongside Trooper Fox with the Pulaski detachment of the Virginia State Police.
"We are always there to support each other and I think we are all holding each other up, and we are going to be ok," says Lauren Fox Andrew Fox's sister.
Lauren Fox came in from Florida for the ceremony. Something she says was automatic.
"It is important for my children to see who their uncle was. It is important for all of us to be here to show our support for him."
Fox was directing traffic at the State Fair on Route 30 in Hanover County last Friday when he was struck and killed by an SUV.
Fox was wearing his safety vest when struck.
Fox was a Tazewell County native and Virginia Tech graduate who served with the Tazewell Police Department before becoming a state trooper.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
My server suffers from the very common problem of having a tank shortage. Healers are somewhat more common though. Even so, I found it was far more difficult for me to find heroic pugs on my tankadin than it was with my hunter. I've only got a little bit of Kara gear but without time to raid it's hard to get him in epics without running heroics. He's uncrushable in the gear he's got, but most groups still won't take him because he hasn't got 14k hp+. Consequently I play my hunter a lot more.
If I'd like to do a Heroic with my hunter I usually try to start with the daily and join the LFG for that instance. Than I look to see what other instances have people queued for them and join those queues too. I often add a note that I'm willing to join other groups too in case anybody is looking around.
Then find something else to do for a while. Do your dailies. Level fishing. Snipe the auction house for good deals. Just make sure you don't go afk. Usually I'll get a whisper for somebody who needs dps for their group within an hour, but if you're not there to reply to their tell immediately they'll look for somebody else.
The last thing I do is once I join the group, I inspect the other people in the group, especially the tank and healer. I'm not generally looking for gear, although it's important. I check out their talent specs. You can often tell a good or bad player by their spec. If a tank has points thrown about randomly in three talent trees, or the healer has blindly thrown all of their talents into the resto/holy tree without considering the other options that would benefit him, then think twice about going any further. The group could do stellar so give it a chance, but if you wipe on trash before the first boss that's generally a sign to get out while you can. Leave before you get saved to the instance and you can try again with a different group.
The last thing is that once you've finished the daily, if it goes well ask the other players if they want to stay grouped and do another instance. If at least the tank and healer stay you'll have no problem picking up dps. Even if they hadn't planned to run another instance, they'll have a hard time resisting another easy three or four badges.
Unfortunately there is a lot of ignorance over the health of a tank. Within reason, I am not really concerned about the health of the tank (though I do usually aim for around 11K as a minimum for a heroic). As a healer my primary concern is that the tank has enough defence to be crit immune. I have occasionally been in heroic groups where people have invited an 'imba tank' (they knew he must be imba because he had over 15K health). Having massive amounts of stamina means nothing if you haven't got enough defence to be uncrittable. I guess it's a matter of personal preference, but I would far rather run a heroic with a 11K pally tank (with at least 200-250 spell damage for threat) than a 15-20K warrior or bear tank.

Some of you may not know that the Karmaloop/Miss KL head quarters are based in Boston. If you've watched the news or spoken to another human in the last week then you know what's been going down – the Boston Marathon bombing. Our office is literally 3 blocks from the blast! It happened right on our street. Good thing everyone here is safe and unharmed. It's been such a hectic time but we are back in effect! Needless to say, sorry for the delay on my WHAT column but here we go…right back at ya!

Now for the goods….In the words of #WillSmith it is "summer, summer, summertime." You know you've been grinding at the gym for this (or, if you're like me, opting in for the stairs vs the escalators – don't judge). We've got new swimwear in!
Check out these neon two pieces by Beach Riot. I love how bright colors give your tan a pop! Trying to go for something a little more risqué? I dare you! Make a splash with this lovely piece by Minimale Animale. You'll be causing some serious rubbing necking.

We got you. So many new BAGS, take your pick. #Soclutch
Till Next Time!

Day 5 of the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure saw 21 players return to the felt to battle it out for one of the eight spots at the final table.
Among them were a crop of big-name pros that included WSOP, WPT and EPT champions, but in the end it was American Jerry Wong who bagged the biggest stack to take into the finale.
Wong, a poker professional from Pittsburgh, finished the night with 7.4 million, more than 100 big blinds at the 30k/60k level we'll be returning to tomorrow.
Sitting in second and third as far as stack sizes go are American Joel Micka and Russian Andrey Shatilov.
Next in line is Canadian Owen Crowe who has cashes on the EPT, WPT and WSOP to his credit.
Joining Crowe at tomorrow's finale are two other Canadians in recent WPT Montreal champion Jonathan Roy who's sitting with the smallest stack, and Yann Dion who final-tabled the Aussie Millions main event in 2012.
Here are the official final-table chip counts heading into the 2013 PCA main event final table:
- 1. Jerry Wong - 7,400,000
- 2. Joel Micka - 6,475,000
- 3. Andrey Shatilov - 3,220,000
- 4. Owen Crowe - 2,900,000
- 5. Joao Nogueira - 2,890,000
- 6. Yann Dion - 2,535,000
- 7. Dimitar Danchev - 1,995,000
- 8. Jonathan Roy - 1,525,000
Charania, Mizrachi, Busquet Close but No Cigar
Day 5 of the 2013 PCA main event began with just 21 players and saw big-name players like Mohsin Charania, Robert Mizrachi and Olivier Busquet bust before the final table of eight were decided.
The second player out the door this afternoon was American Mohsin Charania, last year's EPT Grand Final champion.
The man known as chicagocards1 online began the day severely shortstacked and didn't waste much time before open-shoving from under the gun with pocket deuces. Two other players came along, one of whom flopped top pair with A-T to eliminate Charania.
Out shortly after was APPT title holder Eddy Sabat, another pro from the US.
Sabat has been posting solid results over the last year, highlighted by a fourth-place finish at the WSOP this summer worth over $300k.
Sabat got into a raising war with Darren Elias and watched helplessly as his A-K failed to improve against pocket jacks. Sabat took $56,000 for 17th place.
Getting even closer to the final table was Robert Mizrachi, brother of poker legend Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi.
Robert, an elite tournament player in his own right with a WSOP bracelet and over $4.2 million in earnings, busted in 12th after losing an all-in race with pocket sevens against A♦ J♦.
Following Mizrachi out the door in 10th was the 2012 WCOOP player of the year Mikal Blomlie.
Blomlie, who won his way here thanks to his POY victory, scored $120,000 but narrowly missed out on the big money at the final table.
And after a protracted period of nine-handed play it was Ryan "toetagu" Fair who went out on the final-table bubble.
Fair, who won the SCOOP main event on PokerStars in 2010 for $1.1 million, busted after getting all-in with A-6 against Joel Micka's A-T.
The final table begins tomorrow at 1pm EST when a PCA champion will be decided.

You make me feel real shitty.
It's hard to stay positive with a negative thorn pricking your side.
This is my life. These are my choices. Those are my consequences.
Do they really think I'm pretty or do they just pity me?
Your never wanted romance. You never wanted to make love in a bath tub because it was too small and inconvenient for you. We barely learned how to fit our bodies together to sleep soundly and awake in each others' arms. That really hurt me. Two whole years and we just recently discovered how to love each other. It was so beautiful that I'd cry each time. But now, that's all gone. No more chances to gently provoke romance in my small bed or wrap around my legs to what I swore was my marble hero. Now you're cold stone and angry and I am lost again.
I don't have much to do but miss you.
I should have made love with you when I had the chance(s).
