The son of a famous billionaire is in Wausau. Peter Buffett is here to celebrate the anniversary of a non-profit group. And he's also here to share a message about how to achieve success.
To say Peter Buffett is part of a wealthy family is an understatement. His father Warren Buffett, one of the richest men in the world, is worth an estimated $44 billion.
"Many people know who my dad is, Warren Buffett, and they think wow you must of had this certain kind of life, grew up in a privileged situation, had all this money, and the truth is it wasn't that way at all," said Philanthropist Peter Buffett.
Peter says his dad is true philanthropist, helping others with his money. He says he's tried to follow in his father's footsteps.
"We're all philanthropists, but it's nice to have money behind that to help out with giving," said Peter.
And that's what brings Peter Buffett to central Wisconsin. He's speaking and playing music at an event for a non-profit group called the community foundation. He's also promoting his new book. And trying to convince others they can build their own success, as he's done.
"I never thought I was entitled to my dad's wealth," said Peter.
Event organizers say it's an honor to have Buffett speak.
"Warren Buffett did not contribute his mass wealth to his three children, instead what he did was he gave them money to become philanthropic with themselves," said Community Foundation Executive Director Jean Tehan.
It certainly doesn't hurt to have the last name Buffett. But Peter maintains, he's done his best to achieve success on his own. And he says he's tried to follow some advice he received from his dad.
"He is so down to earth, and so much about get out there, live your life I support you, it doesn't matter what you do if you love it, do it," said Peter.
Peter Buffett speaks Tuesday night at an event in Wausau.

A DIY Kids' Crafting Area
Handmade Charlotte
Coincidentally, I just finished re-organizing my own craft area in my house. If I had the space, I'd be all over making this easy and clean craft desk for my own kids.
Rachel of Handmade Charlotte was also organizing her craft projects when her kids decided they wanted in on the action. In order to keep them busy with their own work, she designed this simple desk area that corrals all of the supplies young kids could want to make art or crafts. It's simple to DIY with easily-found materials.

This is really great! Will have to make a little craft space for my Olivia (maybe then I'll be able to get some of my own crafting done). :)
Hmmm... the time I left craft supplies out I ended up with red crayon on the wall and a kid with a cut T-shirt. And yes, he knows he's not supposed to do it and yes, he knows there will be consequences. But that prefrontal cortex just isn't strong enough yet to exert any impulse control. *sigh*
But that sure is cute. And I love the multi-functional stool/bucket idea.

Hampton Bays, NY
This two bedroom Element 48′ Blu Home was designed to be a welcoming family retreat in the Hamptons. The home sits on an acreage in Hampton Bays that the homeowners bought about 20 years ago to use as a getaway for the family. Prior to the construction of the Element, the family used an old barn for weekend retreats and summer holidays. When the barn started to deteriorate, the couple began to research a number of home-building options to find the perfect vacation house that was both easy to build and cost effective. Precision-built homes appealed to them because they live and work in New York City and did not want to be bogged down with a lengthy or time-consuming construction process. They were also looking for a home that made good use of its space, had plenty of daylight and was energy efficient. After getting quotes from architects at $300 per square foot for a custom home, the family looked for lower-cost prefab options and finally settled on Blu Homes because of its design aesthetic and value.
"The house fit perfectly on the footprint, and the unfolding was fun to watch."
—Chris Howitt, Homeowners' son-in-law

In Alaska's heartland, you'll see the continent's tallest peak, Mt. McKinley, and wide expanses of tundra. The forests are teeming with wildlife and bird life ranging from the formidable grizzly to stately herds of caribou to the state bird, the Willow Ptarmigan. Experience summer's midnight sun or the winter's northern lights. Wildlife can be seen on the highway that runs by Denali National Park, carrying visitors to and from Anchorage and Fairbanks. Interior is the original home of Alaska's Athabascan Indians. Gold miners, farmers and fur trappers later discovered the riches of this region.
Alaska Highway
As visitors head north via the Alaska Highway, the first town encountered is Tok. Located between the Tanana River and the Alaska Range, Tok is a trade center for several Athabascan Native villages. While in Tok, visit the Tok Public Lands Information Center for museum displays, a wildlife film and trip-planning information. The Tok Chamber of Commerce "Main Street Alaska" Visitors Center also provides helpful advice for accessing local hiking, fishing, flightseeing and bicycling attractions.

I'd already been enjoying myself, but when Michael Ball – dressed up in, ahem, large ladies' attire and sporting lovely red lipstick – received a smacker on the lips from former Monkee Mickey Dolenz and struggled to keep it together as the audience whooped and cheered, I knew the long journey to see Hairspray had been worthwhile.
The packed-out Hippodrome crowd certainly did let their hair down as Jerry Mitchell and Jack O'Brien's production managed the difficult trick of lifting spirits and generating laughs out of what was a dark period in US history.
Based on the story of segregation and civil rights in 1960s America, and how one teen music TV show became the centre of attention as black – and large – youth broke down barriers to dance with the slim, white-only boppers, Hairspray manages to turn an uncomfortable and shameful story into one of joy and hope.
The Corny Collins TV show is the dream for Tracy Turnblad, wonderfully played by Laurie Scarth – a typical teen in love with dancing and music… and the star musician on the show Link Larkin (Charles Ruhrmund). In her bid to get on the show, she is turned away by the despicable producer, Velma von Tussle. Gillian Kirkpatrick (Billy Elliot, Blood Brothers) was given an unfair 'boo' at the end, as she portrayed the type of in-bred racism and prejudice so prevalent at the time, perfectly.
Demanding her slim, Barbie-doll like daughter Amber (Clare Halse) win the upcoming contest, she turns Tracy away. The ever-positive Tracy walks away and comes across the rhythm and cruise of Seaweed (Wayne Robinson) – a black teen and his Anetha Franklin-style mum. There she learns to 'really' dance and, together, they plan to take over the studio and bring an end to segregation on her favourite TV show.
There's love, laughs, frustration, hilarity and great tunes all in equal measure – with the inevitable happy ending.
Michael Ball is fantastic as Tracy's mother Edna, and is in danger of overshadowing Micky Dolenz – who plays Tracy's father. But he is understated and has enough gravitas to pull off what, in hindsight, seemed to me be a slightly lesser role. Perhaps that's just me – I was a huge fan of the Monkees when I was growing up and wanted to see him most of all!
But the scene at the start of the second act, when Michael and Micky showed the love, was worth the wait for the star names to live up to their names in lights.
One last special mention must go out to Emma Dukes, who plays Tracy's best friend Penny Pingleton – a geek in the truest sense of the word. She was wonderful to watch throughout, and when she finally came out of her shell to show off her thang in a sparkly little number at the end, well, geek-tastic!
Well worth taking the family (or not) to see, Hairspray is at the Bristol Hippodrome until April 30.

Decatur students are scoring at or above the state average in grades 3 through 8, but the school system's 68-percent graduation rate remains below the state average.
To address this matter, a data-comparison firm is suggesting Decatur change what it is doing with its middle-school programs.
"This is where you have to get your hooks in them," the Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama's Joe Adams told a group of educators and community leaders Wednesday morning.
Adams, research coordinator for the Birmingham-based organization, was in town to present data comparing Decatur City Schools to seven other north Alabama school systems.
An anonymous donor gave $5,000 to the Decatur City Schools Foundation to pay for the study, foundation Executive Director Jesslyn Reeves said.
"The information we have gotten is going to tell us where we are and where we need to go," she said.
Adams' comments about middle-school changes drew an applause from Superintendent Ed Nichols.
"We've got to restructure middle schools because this is where we make National Merit finalists and create the dropout rate," the superintendent said.
Decatur's graduation rate is four percentage points lower than the state average of 72 percent and "something unacceptable," Nichols said.
School systems should address these issues at the middle-school level because "this is when students are leaving the fairy tale and talking about being engineers and accountants," Adams said.
Nichols said Decatur is looking at ways to better engage middle-school students. "We want to offer more extracurricular activities and more electives for middle schoolers," he said.
To do this, the system must scale back the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program for grades 6-10. Right now, all Decatur students are required to follow the IB academic tract.
"We want to look at alternatives so that our students will have more opportunities for electives," Nichols said.
On the IB tract, a student must choose between chorus and band because the IB program requires four years of a foreign language.
The superintendent said school officials are also looking at adding athletic programs such as baseball and softball in the three middle schools. That, he said, will give more middle-school students at Oak Park, Brookhaven and Cedar Ridge "something to connect with."
How to address the graduation rate was just one of the matters Adams discussed during the hour-long meeting. The information he presented came from looking at 390,000 lines of state-provided data about the Decatur system, but some of the audience wanted more. Attorney Barney Lovelace said he wanted to know how Decatur students were scoring compared to systems such as Hartselle and Madison City Schools.
"What can we take from this and use if we're trying to attract people to Decatur?" he asked.
Adams said tracking what the state is doing is a great selling point.
Jack Fite of Fite Building Co. questioned whether comparing Decatur to state averages was good "because the state doesn't always have a good reputation."
Adams said his data is measuring Decatur at Level IV, which is what the state considers above proficiency. He said Decatur "should consistently" score better than the state before changing its benchmark.
"The reason I presented it this way is to show your overall strengths and to show what you need to improve," he said.

One of the traps people fall into on teams is withholding information that's critical for the team to function. Sometimes the information is about friction between team members. When team members don't have a way to talk about small frictions, they turn in to big events, damage relationships and spill over onto the team. So here's how to have one of those difficult conversations.

Read more Meet the doctor who'll grow you a new nose Seifalian works with UCL at the Royal Free Hospital to discover how to use the unique properties of particles many thousands of times smaller than human cells. The smallest -- 8-10 nanometres (cells are around 10,000nm) -- that his team works with are fluorescent nanoparticles, also known as quantum dots, which are nanocrystals with semiconductor properties. As such, under UV light, they fluoresce different colours depending on their structure, and research is focussed on using these as a medical imaging agent for cancer diagnosis.The current method Seifalian spoke of is to inject quantum dots coated with tumour-specific binding sites into a sentinel lymph node to selectively bind to tumour cells. At which point, the dots will migrate to the tumour site and bind, meaning that if there is a large concentration of fluorescence in tissues close to the skin surface, such as breast tissue, there is a tumour present. At which point, one of the other uses for nanoparticles Seifalian mentioned may become useful.Graphene, the recently discovered supermaterial, can be fashioned into carbon nanotubules a mere 24nm across. What makes these tiny tubes so useful is that they are incredibly strong -- 50 times stronger than steel -- and conductive. As a by-product of the latter, it has been proposed that by injecting carbon nanotubules into cancer sites and shining a near-infra red beam on it, the nanotubules will heat up to 50 degrees centigrade in a hyperlocalised area around the cancer, causing the tumour cells to die as they have a heat tolerance of 49 degrees. But not everything nanoparticle research teams have been working on has had implications in the medical field. Professor Andrew Parker, lead researcher at the Natural History Museum, used nanoparticles to recreate the beautiful nature of butterfly wings. Instead of replicating the complex structure of iridescent insect wings, they used nanoparticles to encourage living cells to finish the job. "Rather than developing complicated and expensive engineering techniques," Parker said, "We can let nature do the hard work."

West Palm Beach's Pistache serves up the feel of a formal French dining room.(Full review)
Pistache's menu offers lovely appetizers -- salads, escargots, foie gras and onion soup. Follow that with fish, fowl or beef. They also offer tantalizing side dishes, a great wine list and brunch and lunch choices. Come anytime and prepare to be wowed!(Full review)
When the French bistro Pistache bowed a year ago, it seemed to have a winning formula, aiming to bring a flavor of Paris to downtown West Palm Beach. But there was one big problem: The food didn't click. And beyond that, the atmosphere lacked a certain je ne sais quoi, as the French might say.(Full review)
There's no doubt that downtown West Palm Beach could use a restaurant like Pistache.(Full review)
The crepes were cold, the bartenders were arrogant and rude, the wait staff were disorganized, and the drinks were overpriced. I've been there twice, the first time and the last time. Don't waste your money.
I recently had dinner with my wife at Pistache and everything went very well. We have received a very friendly welcome and have been served in a timely manner. But the most important part of the dinner was the food which proved to be of an excellent quality, a balanced combination of French classics and innovative courses. The dinner was really pleasant, taking advantage of the ambiance of the bistrot. I strongly recommend Pistache to anybody interested in discovering the French cuisine in a casual but chic atmosphere.
Pistache has little to do with french cuisine. The bread is American, dense, industrial dough, nothing that resembles baguette. The frites are semi-soggy fries that are better done at McDonalds. The decor is dull, smacks of cheap, and lacks the brass and polished finish one often sees in French bistros. Because of the lack of soft materials, the restaurant and bar are very noisy. The menu is overpriced for the mediocrity that is passed off as French food. Try eating in Miami instead!

One of the most common questions we are asked:
Do you work in our area?
Yes, Michigan Liquidators is one of the few companies which provides it's services for both upper and lower Michigan.
Frequent Asked Questions
Are you Insured?
Yes, Michigan Liquidators is insured. All sale locations big or small have coverage. It is standard policy with all Estate Liquidations valued over $250,000.00 to place the owner or executor as FIRST SECURED PARTY and furnish them with a copy of policy.
Do you own a Store Front or Consignment Booths?
No! Michigan Liquidators considers this to be a huge conflict of interest. From a clients view, THINK!, No more said.
What if we need to liquidate an estate immediately?
At Michigan Liquidators, we understand that sometimes a client cannot afford to wait in order to hold an estate sale. That's why we offer a comprehensive Buyout Service that allows you to liquidate your estate immediately and receive cash for all the items. This buyout service includes our commitment to leave your property empty of all household items and broom clean, ready for the market. ( Additional cleaning services are available for Estates requiring major cleaning and removal of debri.) An Estate Buyout is the best option for those who need to empty a home as soon as possible and/or raise cash immediately.
What does an estate liquidation entail?
In our case, most estate liquidations include our coming into your home and accessing the estate. After you hire us, we sort, clean, organize, research, price, market, and sell your collection and furnishings from your home. At the end of the estate sale we offer a few ideas to liquidate any items that did not sell. (Option 1). These items can be delivered to Goodwill or Salvation Army where you will receive a donation slip. (Option 2). We contact several bulk buyers to arrive the day after sale to purchase complete remaining contents by closed seal bid. Also included in some of our extra services, we can clean the house, garage and yard for you, so that you can market the house and not have to worry about any more work on your end.
How do I know if I need to have an estate sale?
When your home or the home of your loved one has enough items in it to house a small apartment or home, you have enough. We need to have a full or nearly full home to have a sale in order to bring in lots of clients to give you the best price on your more expensive and collectible pieces. If you have only a few things, consignment or a buyout might be more up your alley.
How do I choose an estate liquidator to help me?
When you interview different people to give your sale, try to keep in mind these people will be handling your family heirlooms. If you feel you can trust them alone in your house and that you can communicate openly with them about your wishes, you are probably safe to hire them. Do check to see if the company is properly insured and can provide you with references if desired prior to signing agreement. Research, and you will know when you have met the right 'fit' for your sale.
What do I need to do to prepare for an estate sale?
When you hire our company, nothing. All we ask is that you don't throw anything at all away and let us do the dirty work.
How long will it take to give an estate sale?
With Michigan Liquidators, it normally takes a full 10 to 14 working days from start to finish to sort, stage, price, market, and sell all items. It is a key factor to allow this amount of time for proper advertising.
What am I responsible for during the sale work wise?
In most cases, absolutely nothing. It is nice if you give us a contact phone number so that we can call you from time to time to check on any issues that do come up like, "Should we sell a coin collection that we found or would you care to keep it."
What happens if my Mother or family has hidden money inside the house and it is found by the liquidator? Photos? Love letters? Personal papers?
Michigan Liquidators cannot answer for other liquidators but in our case, we simply set these things aside, along with anything else that seems too personal to sell without permission. The individual who's signature is on the Estate Sale Agreement is immediately notified so they can make arrangements for pick up or have property mailed or shipped to them.
Should I donate the general household items and or throw away the junk in the garage etc. before I have a liquidator in?
Some of the biggest mistakes our clients have made was to dispose of items prior to hiring and using a professional liquidator. We can and do sell nearly all that you have, no matter how bad it looks to you. Please, do us both a favor and leave every single thing in the house, garage and yard until after we conduct the sale for you.
How do you appraise art?
We can appraise certain art and do so by researching it. When we feel a loss for knowledge or we need someone more well versed on the art
you have, we contact a third party appraiser we trust for assistance.
How do you evaluate appraisals on items that have already been done, i.e. furs or jewelry?
Normally a percentage of set value. With past sales we don't remember ever getting full value on a fur or clothe item but many times have gotten more on
jewelry or pottery. A huge factor is, how old is the appraisal and who did the appraisal.
How does Michigan Liquidators get paid from my sale?
Our company works on a flat 30% to 35% commission from the gross proceeds of the estate sale itself with no up front cost. We are paid solely by our work performance and upon completion of agreement.
What if I decide I want to keep something out of the sale?
Simply ask. We request that all family members remove any items of interest prior to the arrangement of sale.
What if I should decide that I want to cancel my estate sale after Michigan Liquidators has began working on sale?
We would charge you only for our time invested and the money spent on advertising to date. This is not preferred, but we understand when people change their minds and hearts. These fees along with other details can be viewed in our Estate Sale Agreement.

Expect Debby Ryan to be a name you'll hear a lot more of in 2014 — the Disney superstar-turned-singer-songwriter is prepping her debut album with her band debby | the never ending — but she's offered an advance tease at their sound together with their cover of the Yuletide standard "Santa Baby." It's not your usual cover, though — Ryan and company have injected this rendition with some unexpected country-rock grit, all twanging guitars and puttering drums. Her voice is nice and smooth, fitting over the production lseamlessly.
The video, too, is a lively affair, with Ryan all wrapped up in fur (an early Christmas gift, perhaps) having a casual jam session with her band.
This "Santa" is understated and charming — just how it should be. We were very good this year, after all.

So I'm kinda bored so thought I'd do this and see if there are other fans of these guys out there…
5. Jack Radcliffe
The "daddy" of bear porn for me anyway, and the one who got my nascent interests really pumping. Lovely hunky hairy bod and cock, though his output could have been greater I guess the phrase "always leave them wanting more" is very apt here.
4. Jake Dakota
A hungry redneck bottom in many of his films, this hairy stud could always be relied upon to deliver a good show. Usually found performing in Raging Stallion flicks, some of his best stuff involves him in a sling being serviced.
3. Steve Parker
Probably the dirtiest of my top 5, mainly as you can find him doing pretty much anything on film (he's done a lot of bareback stuff and also seems pretty hot on sounding himself), and that's one of the main reasons for him being in my top 5 - a stocky hairy fuck machine who's just as good taking dick as pounding someone. And has one of the hottest cum moans too…
2. Colby Jansen
A real man's man (likes beer, rugby and fucking!), married to a fellow porn performer (transsexual Gia Darling) and seems like a genuinely nice guy, Colby clearly loves sex and can always be relied upon to give a good show. For me it's his face that means he wins out over so many others - he has the most amazing eyes as well as a killer cock and the combo is transfixing. Plus he KNOWS how to fuck ass.
and my number 1 pick is…
1. John Thomas
OK, so partly it's because he is a super nice guy (and English to boot - who knew??), partly because he looks like total boyfriend material, and partly cos he has a gorgeous cock and knows how to use it, but the lovely John Thomas (whose blog can be found here - http://johnthomas1981.tumblr.com/ ) manages to get me going like no other porn star. It's a real shame he hasn't done much adult work in the last few years because I would have jacked off a STORM to that stuff! Here's to him making a return to adult movies sometime soon…
And that's my top 5! Close runners up were Michael McQuaig (who has an awesome blog here - hadrianm.com ), Marcelo from TheGuySite.com, Pavel from SeanCody.com, the inimitable Mack, and hairyalaskanartist from Xtube (yes I know not all come from a conventional porn background but hey, they're the guys who make me cum - deal with it!)
Hope you liked my list - if not, let us know your top 5 and we can play porn Top Trumps! :)

Today's mail haul came in the form of this tape batch directly from one of my favourite cassette labels, Constellation Tatsu.
Pictured above; and what I'll be listening to for the next few days:
Daniel Klag / Inner Earth
White Poppy / Drifter's Gold
Sawi Lieu / Pasaraya
Emuul / Free Structures: What We Thought When We Thought The World Was Shifting Under Our Feet
The best part —okay well maybe not the best part since these tapes are really great— but definitely a key factor in attributing to the excitement of it all, was that they came wrapped up in a purple mailer. I mean, how swell is that?

Get rid of aches and pains by wearing this incredible bracelet!
Try the Ionic Bracelet and see for yourself its incredible effects. The results are amazing...
Thousands of users tell us that they are now pain-free because of the Ionic Bracelet. Take advantage of this offer and see for yourself...
This Ionic Bracelet is made from a mixture of special metal alloys. Those who wear it have felt their pain disappear and notice an improvement in their health - within just a few hours. Now you can try it yourself through this SPECIAL OFFER.
If you suffer from lumbar pains, sciatica, migraine, rheumatism, unexplained tiredness, headaches, backpains, neck pains, digestion problems, sexual impotence or arthritis, you need not suffer a day longer. Your life could be changed. Your pain could disappear.
According to all the feedback we are getting from customers, the Ionic Bracelet's healing effects are so spectacular you just won't believe it at first! So, as soon as you receive your bracelet, put it on and see how your pain could dissolve or even disappear completely. But don't make the mistake of taking it off as soon as your pain dissappears. Leave it on all the time for best results. You'll soon see that where many powerful treatments have failed you, the Ionic Bracelet succeeds beyond your wildest dreams.
However, if you're still not convinced, that's a pity, but fairly normal. You've been let down so often with promises that never materialised, you now want to see the benefits before you believe. This is the reason we are sending you the Ionic Bracelet for a RISK-FREE trial period of three whole months. You could be totally amazed at how the pain diminishes and then completely fades away.
Pain FREE with the Ionic Bracelet
People like you and me who used to suffer severe pain have seen their lives transformed just by wearing this special bracelet.
Take the case of Mrs J.P. of Nottingham who wrote to us: "The doctor told me: 'I can do nothing more for you'. I replied that I did not want any more medication because of all the side effects. So I took control and did what was necessary to improve my health and tried the Ionic Bracelet and before long I had got rid of my walking stick! I am therefore delighted with the result and very grateful to you for informing me about it. Thank you."
Mrs N.T. of Belfast:"It's three months now that I have been wearing your bracelet and I have experienced a huge improvement with my headaches."
Mr M.B. of Godalming: "I have been wearing the Ionic Bracelet for 4 weeks. The severe arthritic pains in my shoulders which I have suffered for more than 20 years have gradually lessened and enabled me to do things I could not do before. The bracelet has been beneficial for a good many other ailments and I fully recommend it to people who do not want to suffer any longer."
How to use the Ionic Bracelet
The Ionic Bracelet consistently maintains the ionisation of your entire body at its optimum level. As soon as you receive your bracelet, wear it immediately on your right wrist with the balls facing upwards if you suffer from rheumatic or arthritic pains, tension, nervousness, headaches, depression, insomnia, stress, impotence, muscular pains, respiratory problems (bronchitis, sinusitis, asthma) and tiredness.
You should wear it on the left wrist, with the little balls facing downwards if you suffer from menstrual pains, tachycardia, phlebitis, varicose veins, circulatory complaints, a tendency to obesity, digestive problems or constipation.
After two days, like most people who have tried it, you should feel a slight and passing reduction of tension and irritation. After seven days,
you should rediscover that well-being you should never have lost. After fifteen days, you could find that your well being has been permanently restored. Then alternate fifteen days at a time: Right wrist and left wrist, in order to constantly balance the passage of energy through your body and keep you safe from a possible relapse.
However, if you still don't believe it... Well, that's a pity, but fairly normal. You've been let down so often with wonders that didn't happen, that of course you now want to feel it before you believe it. This is why we would like to send you this Bracelet, so that you can see for yourself that after wearing it for just a few hours or a couple of days your pain could disappear.
What's behind this pain killing marvel?
As you probably know, the earth and atmosphere are constantly subject to the magnetic forces surrounding us and these in turn affect our bodies.
Some particularly sensitive people feel them keenly. For example, some people cannot sleep at night when there is a full moon. When you are in good health, these forces go through your body and contribute to your well-being. On the other hand if you have an accident, a fall or a knock or a serious emotional upset, loss of someone close, major worries, stress, etc., the passage of these forces can suddenly be blocked.
Take the example of a water jet. If you stop the water flowing, it will backup and form a pocket that grows and grows and then explodes. It's the same thing with your body. If these magnetic forces are blocked, they will accumulate and then in time cause more or less serious, physical or organic disturbances.
This is why many people suffer from rheumatism, headaches, or problems with the neck or spinal column, while others suffer from unexplained tiredness, insomnia, nervous problems, tension, anxiety, or depression.
Most people don't understand why this happens to them, they seem to take it for granted that it's their lot in life. They consult doctors, take pills and often continue to suffer.
The solution for all these ails lies elsewhere. What they don't appreciate is that to stay in good health, the laws of nature must be respected.
And that's where this Bracelet could help you. Just try it and you could be amazed with the results.
Please understand that I'm not asking you to believe that the Bracelet will make all your pains disappear instantly. I am merely informing you about its benefits. If you've had enough of suffering needlessly, we are offering you the chance to try the Bracelet in the comfort of your own home at no risk.
Order your Bracelet today...
If you suffer from rheumatism or feel generally unwell and want to improve your vitality, energy and tone, then ionotherapy is undoubtedly the solution you may need.
Wearing the Ionic Bracelet, you could notice an improvement from day one. After a week you could notice an extraordinary change in yourself. Like thousands of others, you could experience the Ionic Bracelet's beneficial effects. The results obtained always have an extraordinary range.
In 95% of cases your problems may disappear completely. You'll sleep better. You'll feel in good spirits, less tired, nervous and tense.
The tens of thousands of people who wear this healing Bracelet throughout the world prove it and they include doctors, nurses, scientists, television presenters, artists, etc. Read the following comments:
J.-L.BOZAL, bachelor of medicine and surgery, registered with the Medical Association under number 2,211: "I use it myself".
F.SANCHEZ, bachelor of medicine and surgery, registered with the Medical Association under number 1,564: "I know cases of patients for whom the Bracelet has had surprising results."
A.MOREIRA, scientific director in a pharmaceutical laboratory: "Put it on your wrist and after a few days you will find it has produced surprising results in your body and state of mind."
Unlimited effectiveness...
Perfected by a doctor and physiotherapist, this is the first ionic stabiliser with unlimited effectiveness.
It is currently distributed in 23 countries. Several eminent specialists consider it to be the most effective treatment for relieving problems of all kinds, for rebalancing the body and neutralising the static electricity produced by the electromagnetic forces which run through the earth and cosmos.
Ionotherapy is a really effective remedy for a great number of illnesses caused by a lack of negative ions in the body. Ions are present in nature, primarily in places benefiting from abundant vegetation, these ions inevitably disappear in time and are only partially renewed, particularly for those living in city areas. This loss causes problems to our equilibrium with regard to appetite, vitality, sleep, sexual potency and blood circulation. Just read the testimony of Mr E.R below:
"I really don't know how to express my gratitude. Since I received your Bracelet I have never taken it off. And my life has changed altogether. For years my life has been a real trial. I suffered from rheumatism in my entire body which forced me to stay in bed for long periods. I slept badly at night and my morale was very low. The pain stopped me from doing any work and my business affairs began to go downhill. At this point I tried your Bracelet. After I had worn it for just a few days, my pains began to decrease. Then they disappeared altogether. I was able to sleep again. Now in the mornings, I feel like a young man of 20 again. I am full of the joy of life. I attend to my business affairs with such enthusiasm that they are beginning to improve. I don't want to talk about a 'miracle', but it feels like one, because without your Bracelet I know that all the pleasures that life holds for me would not exist. I can't find the words to thank you. The only thing I can do to prove my appreciation is to recommend the Bracelet to those I come in contact with. I simply cannot do without it."
The Ionic Bracelet consistently maintains the ionisation of your entire body at its optimum level. It's sufficient to wear the Ionic Bracelet on your right wrist, with the little balls facing upwards, or better outwards (like a watch), particularly if you have any of the following symptoms: Rheumatic or arthritic pains, tension, nervousness, headaches, depression, insomnia, stress, impotence, muscular pains, respiratory problems (bronchitis, sinusitis, asthma) and tiredness. But you should wear the Bracelet on your left wrist, with the little balls facing inwards if you suffer from menstrual pains, tachycardia, phlebitis, varicose veins, circulatory complaints, a tendency to obesity, digestive problems or constipation.
Whichever way you wear it, the bracelet is very useful in protecting you against allergies of various kinds. In the absence of specific symptoms, it is advisable to wear it on the right wrist, in the position previously indicated. However, in some isolated cases (about 15%), the same beneficial effects could be obtained by wearing it on the left wrist.
The ionic stabiliser does not cause any change if treatment is already under way, but it can in no way replace the functions of current medication. Like all natural products, it does not produce any side-effects and can be used by anybody (persons with pacemakers are advised to consult their doctor). Its effects may be felt from the first day. From the first week you'll notice a distinct improvement which should continue to progress. Whatever your age, you will be surprised at the results obtained from wearing an Ionic Bracelet.

Has the European Monetary System Led to More Exports? Evidence from Four European Union Countries
AbstractWe attempt to investigate whether the ERM period has coincided with an increase in intra-EU exports. We conclude that this has not been the case but it is likely that the elimination of nominal exchange rate variability arising from a single currency will boost intra-EU trade.

From day one of the Internet Tablet era*, I've been a believer in the WiFi path. As broadband has increased its penetration wildly over the last few years, this has seemed reasonable. And I attribute the failure of the many Linux tablet predecessors of the Nokia 770 in great part to having preceded the era of easy-to-use, cheap wireless routers and widely available broadband.
We've entered that era, and if WiFi clouds aren't covering all the cities as they should, well, that day is coming.
And yet.
And yet. "WiFi everywhere" is still an aspiration, not a description.
Last week, when I was comparing video-over-internet cam calls to high-priced "video share" cellphone calls, I had to jog myself to include information that you could in fact use your Nokia Internet Tablet from anywhere, not just within range of a wireless access point if you connected to the internet through a cellphone data plan.
This kind of thinking wasn't native. NIT use = WiFi area is how I instinctively thought about it.
But Ari Jaaksi wrote about being really really untethered from the desktop way back in September 2005 when he described his daughter noodling away on his 770 on a car trip, connected to the internet via the Bluetooth phone in his pocket. And a couple months after that, I got to experience "internet everywhere" firsthand when Nokia lent me a phone and I surfed on the train ride into New York City and then walking downtown to work.
"Internet everywhere" takes the Internet Tablet to a far higher level of usefulness. It really does.
Still I haven't treated that as an option. U.S. cellphone data plans seem to be ridiculously priced, with all kinds of gotcha's. Apparently if you level with the telecom rep as to what you intend to do with your NIT and the cellphone, you're unambiguously determined to require an $80- or $100-a-month plan. I can't justify that kind of money, or even half that.
That's why, in the midst of all today's hullabaloo about the iPhone, the datum that leaped out at me was that you're paying only $20 for an unlimited data plan when you go the iPhone route.**
That's the first reasonable price I've ever heard of.
When do the rest of us get $20 internet? Why can't we get it now? Hey, AT&T, I'll switch to you tomorrow if you give me the same deal!
* That would be May 25, 2005. I exaggerate by a couple weeks — I wasn't a convert till mid-June.
** Not transferrable, not usable by your laptop using the iPhone to connect to the internet, etc. Reviewer David Pogue says Treo owners at AT&T are paying about $40 for unlimited Internet.

By default, only the
To header and the
Subject header is shown in the composer. You can add more headers and control which should be shown by default via the popup menu in the left side of the Composer status bar.
Note that when pasting an email address in an address field then MailMate automatically de-obfuscates it, for example, MailMate automatically converts
user at example dot com to
Send Later
A special virtual header is available named "Send Later". If enabled, a simple text field allows one to write time expressions such as "tomorrow at noon" or "friday at 10". The text is red as long as the expression cannot be interpreted. The exact format of the supported expressions cannot be documented since it is based on Apples API for locating date/time-related expressions in text. In addition to this, MailMate looks for simple relative time expressions such as "2 hours 10 minutes" with support for years, months, weeks, days, minutes, and seconds. Shorthand is also supported, for example, "2h 10m" or just "2h10m". If MailMate cannot parse the expression and the user tries to send the message then a sheet is shown which allows the user to correct the problem or set an exact time using a calendar and a clock. The
Date: header of the composed message reflects the "send later" date (which may be sooner than the message is sent if MailMate has been offline). This is standard behavior.
Message outline columns are available for showing when a message is scheduled to be sent ("Pending Submission"). One of them is relative to the current time and is enabled by default for the Drafts mailbox.
See preferences for some details about how markup support is implemented in MailMate. The composer window has an optional live preview which is particularly useful when using a markup language. It can be enabled/disabled in the "View ▸ Layout" menu.
If you have more than 1 email address configured in your IMAP accounts (in total) then a popup menu is available for selecting the
From address to be used. Note that the default
From address is derived by MailMate based on either the message replied or the primary recipient for a new message. For new messages, the address is automatically updated when changing the
To header except if an explicit choice has been made.
The menu also includues a "Customize…" menu item which allows you to alter the currently selected identity. The text field shown supports completion based on the
From header of all previously sent messages.
Many email clients allow you to configure a selection of signatures and this is also true for MailMate. This is especially useful if a signature is automatically inserted when you compose a new message, but this requires the email client to be able to guess which signature you need. Some email clients solve this problem by letting the user explicitly choose a signature to be used for each email account, but MailMate takes a different approach to this problem.
In MailMate, the choice of default signature is based on the main recipient of the email rather than the account/identity used. MailMate looks for the most recent email to the same recipient and reuses the choice of signature. The same is done for the choice of top or bottom posting. Changing these choices will then affect any future emails to the same recipient since the email will become the new most recent email. If no previous email exists (with a choice of signature) to the recipient then MailMate falls back to choosing the most often used signature sent using the same identity.
After using this system for a while, you'll be able to have your preferred signature and signature placement chosen by default for most of your emails.
Note that MailMate does handle the following caveat: If you change one of your existing signatures, for example by updating a phone number, then this will work as expected even when the signature is used in a new email where previous emails to the same recipient uses a signature with the old phone number.
Also note that hidden preferences include a setting to make MailMate see new messages and replies as two different types of messages when deriving a signature from previously sent messages.
Attachments can be added either by dragging them onto the composer or by using the "Attach Files…" (⇧⌘A) menu item. Using the attachments menu in the Composer status bar you can also view existing attachments or remove them.

These areas include: biologics drug discovery (antibodies, alternative scaffolds, proteins and peptides), regenerative medicine, personalised medicine, immuno-diagnostics and devices, and immuno-platform technology.
GBP is looking for early-stage investments and will typically commit between £50k and £200k. Where larger investments are required, we are happy to invest alongside other individuals or syndicates. We might even introduce you to syndicates that might be interested in investing at the same time as GBP. For applicants based in Scotland, we might access the Scottish Co-Investment Fund to share some of the risks and returns in any investment.
Further rounds of funding may be considered depending upon progress in meeting technical and/or business milestones.
Initially we ask you to submit a brief summary of the business opportunity to us via an Enquiry Form on the Contact page. We aim to reply to all enquiries within 3 working days. If your proposition sounds interesting, we will request for a 2-page summary of the opportunity, outlining the key issues to be addressed by the company. We will then request a Business Plan, and, if it still looks promising, we will meet with the company's principals.
We expect investments to qualify under the Enterprise Investment Scheme, since this brings significant tax advantages to our syndicate's investors.
More details of our decision-making process can be found in our Rules of Engagement on our Investors web-pages. In summary, GBP has three lead investors, and for GBP to make an investment, at least two of our principals have to invest in the opportunity.
If GBP plans to invest, we will issue Heads of Terms to the Company for consideration. This generally follows a number of meetings between GBP and the proposed investee.
We will tell you if we decide not to invest. We may be able indicate how the overall proposition could be made more attractive or strengthened.

A.Les Deal, a remodeler in
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, responds: You've
identified your problem: The word that's killing
you is "competition." I work from the premise that
competition is not relevant.
The reality is, if you want to be a contractor,
you must make a profit. Therefore, the first part
of the answer is simple: Raise your prices to
create a decent company profit. So now you say,
"Thanks a lot -- how do I get work?" I'll offer
another simple answer: Make an active decision to
specialize in the work you love, based on the
skills you love to use. If you don't emphasize
enjoyment of your work as the top priority, you
won't have the drive to continually learn and
better yourself.
The result of doing what you love is that you
will become more creative, more efficient, and a
better contractor. You will be driven by sheer
pleasure to hone your skills and will automatically
feed on your own love for your work.
Isn't that exactly who many customers are
looking for? These developed skills will make your
higher prices seem like a bargain to the customer.
Plus, a contractor working in his niche exudes
excitement and confidence, which will help you win
My own niche has been challenging remodeling
jobs, jobs that look like a quagmire of problems
and that call for unique, cost-effective solutions.
Thirty years of that mindset has created a path of
great diversity in the kinds of work that come my
way, and I still love it.
It doesn't matter what part of contracting you
enjoy. Decide what it is and focus on that kind of
work. Think back to the projects you really
enjoyed, and try to figure out why. That should
lead you in the right direction.

Stanley's Secret Garden on Northshore in West Knoxville.
The Secret Garden is located at 305 South Northshore Drive (map to location), near Kingston Pike and Northshore. Our Secret Garden is closed for the winter and will reopen early spring.
Stanley's Greenhouse & Plant Farm
For 72 years, Charles Stanley and sons Monte and Rocky have supplied East Tennessee gardeners with quality plants, shrubs, perennials, herbs, annuals, houseplants, and poinsettias.
Stanley's is a family owned garden center located 5 minutes from downtown in South Knoxville. Get directions...
Why choose Stanley's Greenhouse?
For the quality assurance that only a locally owned grower can provide.
Growing and propagating over 60% of the plants we sell on site at our garden center reduces our carbon "footprint" significantly by not having our plants shipped from other locations.
Because we grow the plants at our greenhouses here in Knoxville, the plants are fresher and acclimated for East Tennessee climate.
Our status as one of the areas largest growers exempts us from charging sales tax on plants. Therefore all plants purchased at Stanley's Greenhouse are TAX FREE!

This meeting was a bit shorter than most. The main thing mentioned at the meeting was how the boostore is trying to get more books on their nook study program.
-They expressed the fact that rentals have doubled since the start of this program over a year ago.
-Semesters will not change the average price students pay for the year. The bad thing on semesters is that competition for books will increase since every college or university will be on semesters in Ohio.
-An upcoming bookstore survey will be posted with chances to win giftcards. Read more about Meeting Oct 11, 2011
The beginning of the meeting was spent reviewing courses to be converted into semester programs from their current quarter layouts. Read more about October 10 meeting
The main focus for this meeting was to go over the new revisions to the ED 2100 course. The committee talked about how the title did not support what the class would be teaching, and we thought that a more appropriate title should be made. There were also some further issues with the outcomes of the course, and whether or not this class would fall into Element 5 or 3. I was able to give feedback from a student's perspective on how I would look at the course and what I felt about the unclear wording of the course outline. Read more about UGEC Meeting 10/05/11
The majority of the meeting was spent discussing the issue of class time blocks once the school transitions to semesters. If you are curious as to what the time blocks were come see me, but the committee voted to recommend to the faculty senate use the adopted time blocks that were already voted upon in 2009. The problem arises when we switch to semesters that there will not be enough 'Large' classrooms available to teach the desired number of large classes. The term large refers to classes 75 and over.
