Velcro and Duct Tape Uses
We all know that tape can be used for a wide variety of jobs, and it's safe to say we would all be lost without it.
There are two types of tape that work really well at helping to keep an abundance of items secure, they are velcro tape and duct tape. I know a lot of people use regular tape to seal envelopes and parcels, and some go so far as using regular tape to do jobs around the home, but that's not what it's made for.
The Power Of Velcro Tape
Velcro tape can be used on just about anything you want. It is waterproof, tough and flexible and will make sure your parcels and boxes are sealed properly. You can even use velcro tape on boxes that don't seem to want to shut too.
Velcro tape as you know, will be quite visible, so it's best not to use it on anything special as it just won't look good. Velcro tape is made to be functional rather than hidden and out of sight, and it also needs to be seen so you're aware a box or a package has been correctly sealed.
In order to make sure your boxes are correctly sealed you should ideally overlap your tape. This will to ensure the strength of the tape is exactly where it needs to be, and there aren't any weaknesses anywhere. When you're sealing a package or a box, make sure you don't forget to seal the edges, as the tape may come away, and that will affect the sturdiness of your box or package. You do not need to use excessive amounts, just make sure your tape overlaps so the seal is secure.
The Power Of Duct Tape
Duct tape is a wonderful tool to have in the home, and as it's also used by professionals in the plumbing, gas and water trade, you know it's good stuff. Just as you would with velcro tape, when you use duct tape, you should make sure you overlap the tape, just so ensure the hole/join is sealed correctly.
Duct tape is so strong, it has been known to be used by the military, and probably still is. This just goes to show you how reliable and tough it is. It's so strong in fact that the Britannia Yahct Club that can be found in Ontario, Canada once held a duct tape challenge and huge boats were constructed out of cardboard and duct tape, what's more is these boats had to be seaworthy too. This just goes to show you how strong the duct tape is, and how much you can rely on it to do the job properly.
Check out this kid's Duct Tape boat here:
Duct tape is great because it can be used for a lot of different jobs around the home. This tape is also watertight, and it can be used on heating, ventilation and air conditioning, which is why it's so great to have around the home. Duct tape may not solve an issue entirely, but it could stop the problem getting worse, and may just do until a technician arrives.
Information about another tape with a thousand uses can be found on this webpage here.
SEO Strategies That Work
SEO Strategies
There are so many strategies that can be used in SEO work. Some work well and take very little time, and others are a bit more involved. Of Course with so many different strategies out there the ability to give information on all of them is a daunting task. It seems that today you either pay a ton of money to another company to handle your SEO work. Or you invest the time you would rather put into the job you love. What is the use is doing all this SEO if you don't get to do the work you are advertising your business for in the first place. If you ask me I would pay another company to do it right, but just in case you are a do it yourself type of person here are a few starting points.
Blogging and Interlinking
Part of blogging is not only finding the right relevant places to write your blog, but also placing your blog on a consistent basis. This not only builds links within but it helps to attract other company links to your posts. Some companies will start blog sites, where instead of the standard website they blog on their website to give information. This helps to attract potential information seekers. But if they don't know who you are then they may never see it. At this point posting blogs on other peoples sites that pertain to your business type become essential. Some other companies allow you to link their site to yours to give your information more relevancy, which is a part of not undesirable technique of interlinking.
A simple addition to SEO is to ask people you know for their link, this way you are interlinking the two sites, which can benefit both you and your friend or family member. Many times we have a friend or family member that works for a company that has blogging, or have their own blogs or sites. Giving another person exposure can also work to give your site exposure as well. This method becomes important as you make it easy for others to link to your site too. Remember the more people that can find you the better off you are.
So now that we have everyone of our friends and family linking in to your website, now it becomes vital to link out. Don't keep all that information to yourself. Share with others. The links that have given you exposure need to get out too. By building relationships with outside resources there comes the opportunity to share the information that you have gathered. The more that you share the information, the more of an authority you will be on the matter. This can increase your reputation online, where people will look to you and what services and products you have to offer. I don't know about you, but I'd rather buy from the business guy with the best ideas, and service available, and that is what you are creating. The idea that you are the best in your industry.
This is just a starting point to doing your own SEO work. Most professional SEO services spend 8-10 hours a day working to make themselves the best authority figure on the web. With hundreds of thousands of business, and thousands in each category,its no wonder why it takes so much work to be listed on the front page of your preferred search engine.
Understanding The International Trademark Process
Not everyone is fully aware of the process of trademarking goods or services, which means they fail to understand the complications it involves. Applying for an international trademark is not an easy process, but it is an essential one nevertheless.
Knowing exactly how to trademark a name or logo professionally, could save you a lot of time an effort, but the problem is that not a lot of people know how to do this. This is why they make sure they get in touch with someone who knows what they're doing from the very beginning.
When I wanted to get an international trademark on a service I provide, I had absolutely no idea how to go about it. I though the whole process would simply involve filling in a form, and nothing much else. I had no idea about the formalities that were involved, and as I delved deeper into the word of Australian trademarks, I became lost in it, and it seemed near impossible to get my service the protection it needed.
At this stage I hadn't yet heard about our trademarking company, so I assumed people and businesses did the work themselves, thankfully I was wrong.
Helping You All The Way
As soon as I heard you could get help with applying for an international trademark, I started to investigate the possibility, and it was good to see they knew exactly what they were doing at every stage of the application.

The Shrine Administrator, Bishop Lindsay Urwin OGS, writes: When the Archbishop of Canterbury visited the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham last year to share in the life and vitality of our annual Youth Pilgrimage he spoke of this place as "one of the most important religious centres in Northern Europe", and "important for the Church of England". Each year thousands of people, young and old, from all over the United Kingdom and from other parts of the world make their way to this 'little' village of Walsingham. Why do they come? I often find myself wondering that, and perhaps the answer is as varied as the numbers who come. But in any case, shrines don't ask too many questions. We simply open the doors in the name of the Lord, live the daily round of prayer and worship, offer the ministries of healing, tell people who will listen the meaning of this place, and invite them to experience the rebuilt Holy House and to receive the water from the Saxon holy well. ... read more
Many who come are already committed to living the Christian life; many are simply curious. Young people come with their school on an educational visit. Some happily call themselves pilgrims and some would simply call themselves visitors. Some arrive as visitors and leave surprised by how they have been affected by their time here. Whoever they are, they are welcomed with equal love. People began to come here in the eleventh century after a local women felt prompted by the Virgin Mary to build a replica of the house in Nazareth where she encountered the angel Gabriel who asked her to be the mother of Jesus. That well known story retold every Christmas is remembered here every day. This is a place where we believe people experience the closeness, the gentleness and the strength of Mary's Son and sense her encouragement as they try to make sense of their lives.
Here it is 'normal' to worship and to wonder, to pray and to weep, to ask forgiveness and experience it. We live and work here making the assumption that the Lord is very much alive and that we can experience that life and love. Here is a place consecrated to The Lord and it somehow feels different from the 'secular' world and it makes it somehow easier to believe. Often crowded, yet there is a stillness and a joy.
I want to welcome you as a visitor to this website. It will give you just a flavour of the meaning and purpose of the Shrine and what is available for you here. It tells something of our extraordinary history, and about our daily routine, and what you might encounter if, as I hope you will, you decide to make the journey to Little Walsingham. It will introduce you to something of the spirit of pilgrimage which is the spirit in which we and the whole Church invites people to live their lives.

For information and news about what's happening at the
Shrine - go to LATEST NEWS
The Anglican (Church of England) Shrine
occupies an island site in the village of Little Walsingham,
five miles from the north Norfolk coast. Close to the ruins
of the original medieval Priory (destroyed in 1538), the
present-day Shrine was gradually created from 1931 from
derelict farm buildings and cottages with a brand new Shrine
Church in the south-east corner of the site. Within the
Shrine Church is the "Holy House" a 'recreation' of the
house in Nazareth where Mary received the news from the
angel Gabriel that she was to be the mother of Our Lord,
Jesus. Within the Holy House, above the altar, is the niche
where the statue of Our Lady of Walsingham sits surrounded
by candles and votive lights (see picture below). The statue of Our Lady of Walsingham is
much-loved. It is important to understand that the statue is
simply a
focus for devotion - a visual aid - and not something to be
worshipped in itself. Down through the years Christians have sought
the prayers of Mary to support them in their pilgrimage through
life. At times in the history of the church there has been
controversy about devotion to Mary but in these ecumenical days
there are few who would deny a right respect and love to the Mother
of Jesus.
have made the journey to Walsingham from all over Britain -
and the world - since the 11th century, not long after the
Lady Richeldis had her vision of Our Lady in 1061. However,
Henry VIII ordered the Shrine to be destroyed in 1538 as
part of the English Reformation and it was not until 1922
that the then Vicar of Walsingham decided to undertake the
restoration of the Shrine. You can find out more about the
history of the Shrine at The Story So
Today the Shrine complex welcomes over
10,000 residential pilgrims each year (nearly 200 pilgrims
can be accommodated at any one time.) Meals are provided
round the clock in the Pilgrim Refectory and the Norton
Café Bar. In addition, a further 300,000 visitors come to
Walsingham each year. A new Visitor Centre is currently
under construction to help them enjoy their visit. There is
also a Shrine Shop in the centre of the village and offices
for the Membership, Accommodation and Education departments.
many people their first visit to Walsingham is centred
around the National Pilgrimage which takes place on the
Spring Bank Holiday each year. This is a wonderful outdoor
event with the famous procession of Our Lady from the ruined
priory grounds, through the village to the Shrine.
But at the heart of the Shrine lies the
Church and Holy House. Here pilgrims and visitors join in
the daily worship or say their prayers asking for Our Lady's
help. The daily
service of Sprinkling at the Well (Easter to October;
weekends during winter) is attended by
thousands throughout the year. Water from the ancient well
within the Shrine
Church is used to sign a cross on the forehead, given as a
drink and poured over outstretched hands as a sign of God's
healing. Without interruption since 1931, Shrine Prayers - a
short service during which pilgrims intercession requests
are read out - has taken place in the church. Many
pilgrims and visitors are content simply to say their own
prayers; many like to enjoy the peace and beauty of the
Shrine gardens. For Walsingham is Holy Ground.
You can find out much more about all these
aspects of the Shrine's work by exploring this website.

Beep! is a musical collective comprised of pianist Michael Coleman, bassist Nate Brenner and drummer Sam Ospovat. Their music is based on concepts of group interplay, free improvisation, song writing and orchestration in a piano trio setting. While rooted in the jazz tradition, the trio's compositions fuse rock, folk, jazz and classical music to create their own personal and energetic sound. Variety is cornerstone for the trio and each composition utilizes different rhythmic feels and sonic textures as well as a variety of instruments including keyboards, effects, glockenspiels and even the human voice. Beep! seeks out new sounds and emotions by de-constructing original material and standard repertoire to explore what's hidden beneath the surface.

Counterparties: Return of the Mac
Welcome to the Counterparties email. The sign-up page is here, it's just a matter of checking a box if you're already registered on the Reuters website. Send suggestions, story tips and complaints to email@example.com.
American manufacturing has gained boosters recently, with politicians from President Obama to Rick Santorum championing its merits. The Atlantic'Äôs current cover proclaims 'ÄúComeback'Äù. Even Apple — the epitome of the Made-in-China multinational — is bringing a mini portion of its manufacturing back to the US: CEO Tim Cook says that 'Äúnext year, we will do one of our existing Mac lines in the United States'Äù.
Cook's announcement, which came in the form of an interview with Businessweek, is a savvy move by a company that has faced questions about its reliance on an overseas suppply chain. Still, it's not much of a homecoming. The FT's Tim Bradshaw, looking at the $100 million that Cook says he will invest in US manufacturing, notes that it pales in comparison to the billions Apple has invested in Asian manufacturing in the last year alone.
In many ways the much bigger news is that Foxconn, the Chinese behemoth which makes most Apple goods, is expanding into the US. (It might actually be the same news: Cook'Äôs line about Apple'Äôs US manufacturing is 'ÄúThis doesn'Äôt mean that Apple will do it ourselves, but we'Äôll be working with people, and we'Äôll be investing our money.'Äù) Steve Jobs famously said that America'Äôs lost manufacturing jobs 'Äúaren'Äôt coming back'Äù. He'Äôs still right. As Felix noted, a big problem with tomorrow's US manufacturing jobs is that they look more like today's Chinese manufacturing jobs than yesterday'Äôs US manufacturing jobs. — Ben Walsh

@Ben Walsh
Felix rarely has time to respond to comments any more (observation not a criticizem), so I wanted to give you a shot. In his original post regarding the return of the Mac he (accidentally?) begrudged jobs paying the median wage in the United States.
After looking at my math below care to embrace the return of the manufacturing as the massive positive that it clearly is?
My Original comment: (Edited to reduce length)
"Am I being naive if I think Americans are LUCKY to be earning $13.50/hour while Foxconn workers have TRIPLED their pay to $400/month. We know how this plays out'Ķ the Yuan rises against the dollar the Foxconn wages continue to rise even in local terms'Ķ and so the value of a global commodity, one hour of a mans time, converges'Ķ
We westerners need to get our heads around the idea that $13.50 is to be CELEBRATED'Ķ especially if it comes with any level of benefits and a chance for advancement. Dare I suggest that we promote the idea of two adults working together to raise a family? Perhaps you could get past the traditionalist nature of that ideology by just focusing on the math 13.50/hour X 40 hours X 50 weeks X 2 earners = $54,000'Ķ why I bet a number like that would be pretty close to median household income in the richest large nation on earth. Check my digits and let me know what you find!"
@y2kurtus, was running some numbers on our own employment… Mostly making better than $13.50/hr (a combination of advanced degrees and marketable skills), but the two of us combine for about 120 hours/week of employment. I doubt that is unusual, either, in the global marketplace.
Which brings us back to the earlier discussion on the impact of uncertainty. We could sustain our lifestyle on 3/4 of our income, but fully half our income derives from sources that could evaporate next month or next year.
Moreover, we refuse to count Social Security in our retirement planning, since we know that it only has the resources to pay 75% of its promises. Until somebody tells us WHICH 25% will be reneged on, we have to assume that it will include the money promised to us. Thus we are working to save twice what we would otherwise need.
Consider the economic implications on our situation (and that of households like ours) if the uncertainty were reduced?
* We could dramatically cut back on our retirement savings (roughly 25% of our income), plowing that money into consumption. Would be difficult to spend that much money, but we'd give it "the old college try".
* We might work less, freeing up profitable employment opportunities for somebody younger. Know any starving musicians? Teachers out of work? Would they like a job?
* We would cut back on our emergency savings, presently around 12 months earnings or 24 months expenses. That would mean cash coming off the sidelines, flowing into some combination of consumption and real investments.
We are wealthy (by my standards, at least) and I'm not complaining. But we've been operating under a cloud for the last decade, focusing on doing everything we can to establish ourselves in an uncertain economic environment.
The Keynesians might step away from their short-sighted models of economic behavior and ask, "How important is confidence in the functioning of a healthy economy?" Is it even possible to fix the economy while we continue to operate under massive uncertainty?

M&C scoops 'no' to Scottish independence brief
Better Together, the cross-party campaign to encourage Scotland to vote "no" to independence, has hired M&C Saatchi as it counts down to the September referendum.
Better Together: new ads
M&C Saatchi, which has a long relationship with the Conservative Party, is advising the organisation on its advertising, marketing and message development. The first press ads launched this week in Scottish newspapers.
Better Together had previously worked with a number of agencies, including Grey and BD Network.
The campaign started talking to agencies last month as part of a final attempt to shore up support for a "no" vote. TBWA UK, which works with the Labour Party, was involved in the pitch process.
The Scottish National Party's advertising is created by the Edinburgh agency Family, which has also worked with the Scottish Conservatives and created the UK Independence Party's ads ahead of the European election in May.
Rob Shorthouse, the director of communications at Better Together, said M&C Saatchi demonstrated "incredible creativity, but also a passion about, and commitment to, our cause".

Bakemono Tono Headcanons - Bishop Brothers pt 2
- They have mastered almost every dance style. If they think there's a chance either will have a shot of getting laid, they'll do it. Even ballet.
- If they're having a conversation and they don't want anyone to hear them, they'll speak in latin to each other. Sometimes they'll look at people and talk to each other in latin to make other people uncomfortable, but they'll really just be talking about the weather or what their plans for lunch are.
- They'll never admit it, but the only person in town they won't mess with is Ezael. If there's any indication that Ezael will be anywhere near an area, they will stay far far away.
- Jack is trying to quit smoking as he believes it's stunting his growth. King will be an asshole and smoke around him anyway and always offer him a cigarette, conveniently forgetting that Jack is trying to stop. Jack chews big red gum, or super spicy candy to help curb his cravings.
- King is a habitual gambler and will bet on anything, particularly card games. It's never been a problem, considering he usually wins. Jack isn't as lucky, but is more business savvy. He's the one that finds business opportunities, namely deliveries, blackmail, or shaking people down for "protection" fees.
- It's a secret known by only a few citizens of Bakemono Tono, but they can usually be appeased with chocolate. King prefers milk chocolate, and Jack prefers dark chocolate.

Does Christina Hendricks have a body women should aspire to?
Christina Hendricks, who plays sassy secretary Joan Harris in television drama Mad Men, has been identified as the woman with a body others should healthily aspire to. But how realistic is it for women to look like her ?
She's the unlikely star of Mad Men, the foxy secretary who sashays through the offices of advertising agency Sterling Cooper as if she runs it.
And if it was today, and not the 1960s, then maybe she would.
Her hips are probably the most hypnotic on television, and now Christina Hendricks, who plays Joan Harris (nee Holloway), and is reportedly a size 14, has had her body officially endorsed by the British government.
"Christina Hendricks is absolutely fabulous," says Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone, who held up Hendricks' outline as an ideal shape for women.
Highlighting the "overexposure" of skinny models and the impact they have on body image among young people, Ms Featherstone went on: "We need more of these role models. There is such a sensation when there is a curvy role model. It shouldn't be so unusual."
So what makes Hendricks' figure distinctive, and how attainable is it?
In many ways, the character revolutionised perceptions of beauty on television screens, says the Los Angeles Times television critic, Mary McNamara.
"When Joan first showed up on American TV, she turned the beauty ideal on its ear, reminding everyone that generous curves were once considered sexy, and that pre-Twiggy, women's clothing was designed to accommodate and enhance ample breasts and hips and thighs.
"Marilyn Monroe often wore a size 12 and very thin women wore padded bras and often had to shop in the boys department to find clothes. Hendricks is, of course, gorgeous by any era's standards and shows no signs of succumbing to the traditional pressure to slim down."
Unlike actresses America Ferrara (who plays Ugly Betty) and Britain's Kate Winslet, Ms Hendricks has kept her full figure, adds McNamara, who last week reviewed Mad Men Series 4.
That figure is reportedly in possession of dimensions around 36-32-36 - although some reports suggest 38-32-38 - and her breasts variously described as a C or D cup.
That kind of body requires a lot of exercise and healthy eating to maintain, says Deanne Jade, a psychologist at the National Centre for Eating Disorders.
"Usually in the real world, the bigger breast goes along with a bigger tummy, wider waist or protruding abdomen.
'Stop objectifying us'
"I would prefer women not to be appraised as objects of appearance but rather on what they are able to do, but given the spread of BMI and weight [issues], having a realistic image of size 14 is at least more appropriate"
Professor Janet Treasure, expert in body image, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London
"So it's unusual to have someone with these curves. Therefore to get a figure like that, you would have to work hard or be naturally well-endowed."
While she agrees with the minister that role models need to be a fuller and more realistic shape, Ms Jade says women with eating disorders will always seek out images of the thinnest women to confirm their own distorted view of how they look. And magazines they read are full of stereotyping images that link "thin" with "success".
"It's an interesting soundbite but it takes more than that to change the messages that are going out."
Identifying any particular body shape as the ideal one is fraught with difficulty and can just add to female anxiety, says Shade Adeoye, who is researching female perceptions of body image for a PhD at Leicester University.
She says Hendricks has a much more realistic figure than many models, but women looking to match it will end up falling short.
"I would say they will be almost 100% disappointed, because her level of upkeep will be far higher than for a normal person. The kind of money you need to spend - on the gym, cosmetics or even new breasts - is far beyond a normal person working nine to five.
"There is a possibility of getting this body by exercise and being careful what you eat - some people have ideal bodies without having surgery - but it requires a big investment in time and money. It's a full-time job in itself."
What makes Joan special?
"Joan is a wonderful character: strong, funny, sexually alluring but also - as fans of the show will know - admirable. In Matthew Weiner's world, she was on the one hand the ideal office manager: capable, assertive and sexy, and then was revealed to be just as insecure as the rest of the characters, desperate to get married and acquire some kind of status. She ran the office with a rod of iron, fairly unsupportive of Peggy's proto-feminist determination to rise in the hierarchy. But she was also shown ultimately not to be her new husband's passive victim"
Tim Teeman, The Times US correspondent
Given her popularity as a character, can we expect to see a proliferation of Joan-shaped women on television? There are some signs, says Ms McNamara.
"One hopes that the very obvious proof that women who weigh more than 98lbs [44.5kg] can be sexy will translate beyond the Joan character, and I think we're seeing a little of that with shows like Drop Dead Diva, Huge and the upcoming Mike and Molly.
"But none of those characters is treated with the same kind of bombshell reverence that Mad Men creator Matt Weiner clearly has for Joan."
A selection of your comments appears below
As a naturally very thin and (very) small breasted woman, I find it rather hurtful when articles refer to me as being less than 'normal' and suggesting that I am not a 'real' woman. Women from the 'real world' come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes which should be celebrated and no woman, if healthy, should be criticised or made to feel ashamed of their shape whatever that may be.
While I think Hendricks has a wonderful figure, it's not what I'd aspire to. There are many types of beautiful bodies. Why can't women simply be allowed to be happy with the shapes we have?
I don't think any woman should be held up as a role model for the ideal look. We are each individual. Some of us are naturally skinny, others not. Some have large breasts, some not. I think the main message is that you should love yourself and your body no matter your height, weight, body shape and size. Exercising and eating well is good advice however, the media often gives contradictory messages as to what food is healthy and how much exercise is necessary. So remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And it's ok to be you, you are a unique individual.
The whole concept of "an ideal shape for women" is insulting, aggravating, and absurd. It has led to so many very young American women undergoing plastic surgery, falling prey to eating disorders and depression, and a host of other negative effects. I understand that men are visual,but there are also as many opinions of sexy among those visual guys as there are women's body types. Having twin 22-year-old daughters, I see how this all affects them and it enrages me that my gorgeous, healthy daughters both feel they fail in some physical way. Women need to take back their self-esteem, and exude the air: "I am the best, healthiest, most beautiful me that my genetics and my effort allow. If you don't like it, take a walk!"
As a 19 year old, its thought that generally, I would aspire to be a stick thin size 6 with tiny boobs and, as often goes with this celebrity look, no discernible use in the world. But the bodies I have always looked up to are those of Miss Hendricks, Marilyn Monroe and Kate Winslet - women who, yes, work (or worked) at looking fabulous, but did it for health, rather than to make their bones show and their stomachs to go concave. Everyone has hang ups about their bodies, it's a natural thing, but nowadays we take them to the extreme, when we just don't need to. Yes, I have pale flabby thighs, a belly that needs toning and a diet that a caveman would be ashamed of, but I'm happy with my body, simply because, despite what any women's magazine or TV show will tell you, we come in all different shapes and sizes. And if a 19 year old girl, surrounded by young, tanned bodies and a weekly fashion magazine addiction can say that, surely anyone can.
I resent the constant highlighting of 'body issues'. As a naturally small woman (5'5'', 8st, 34AA) I am almost constantly told there is something wrong with me. Whether it's people assuming I've starved myself to look like the 'size zero' supposed ideal, or feeling like a freak because I have to use chinese websites to find pretty bras as it's rare to find one in my size that's not designed for 12 yr olds. Please can we all just shut up and accept that healthy people CAN come in all shapes and sizes. As long as ANY form is being held up as the ideal someone will feel ugly.
Is Christine Hendricks nursing or has she had implants? If not, her ideal shape is an abnormality and cannot be considered normal. Should we aspire to abnormality? Each body stores excess calories in its own particular pattern - some deposit fat on the hips or thighs while other body shapes prefer the abdomen, - or under the chin and so on. She is a very a-typical woman to have such a perfectly crafted, or rather sculpted body. She doesn't even have love handles, or a small roll of fat around the waist. It seems her boobs are her body's favoured storage area.
Lady Astor was known for saying, "You can never be too rich or too thin." Lady Astor was known for her wit, not her wisdom. She was wrong, on both counts.
While it's nice to see the stereotype image of women debunked, spare a thought for us poor males whose whole body image focus is the size of our dangly bits. I'd like to see more promotion of individualism and less promotion of the so called ideal shape/size as proscribed by the so called fashionistas.

30. The Magic Begins: Favourite Memory About the Harry Potter Fandom
I would have to say watching Deathly Hallows Part 2 at its midnight screening. It was the first time I had ever watched a movie at midnight because all of the other movies had always come out in the middle of the school week. I went with two of my best friends and we decked ourselves out in our Gryffindor robes and brought our wands along. We got to the theatre 6 hours before midnight just to get good seats and it was honestly a blast. Those six hours passed by so quickly. Then the movie began (a little after midnight because movies don't ever start on time in the cinema) and I was blown away. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen and my popcorn lay forgotten at my feet because I was so immersed in the movie. Naturally I started sobbing halfway through at the emotional bits and I don't remember crying so hard in my life. I came to the realization that even though I was still relatively young (13 or 14 at the time, i think) that my childhood was coming to a close and that I was growing up. When the movie ended my friends and I just stayed in the theatre for several minutes after the movie ended composing ourselves and I think I recall us having a massive hug as soon as we got out of the cinema. It was clearly the best movie that we had ever seen and even though Harry Potter was finished, it would forever be a huge part of my childhood and that is why I still love it today.

Finally, it has not been tested whether exposure to the toxic environment is related to genotype. That is, individuals with obesity-predisposing genes may be particularly responsive to the effects of such a "toxic" environment. In addition, certain individuals may be more likely to seek out or expose themselves to aspects of the toxic environment. The topic of gene-environment correlations as a topic for additional research is discussed further in Section 7.
Several studies (e.g., [15-17]) have documented an inverse relationship between SES and obesity in previous years. In a recent review, Ball and colleagues [18] examined 34 articles to test the hypothesis that persons from lower SES strata are at increased risk of weight gain. Their hypothesis was supported for predominantly non-African American samples, but not for African American samples. Reviewing relevant studies, they found little support for a relationship between SES and weight gain among African Americans. In contrast, depending on the particular indicator for SES that was used (i.e., occupational status, education, and income), they found that lower SES was associated with an increased risk of weight gain in non-African American individuals. Specifically, the authors found an inverse association between occupational status and weight gain for men and women. When SES was assessed using education as the indicator, the relationship became less strong (particularly among men). Using income level as the particular indicator for SES, findings for associations between weight gain and SES were inconsistent for both men and women. Finally, the authors noted a differential rate of weight gain by SES and attributed that finding to an early onset of weight gain in a person's life, when parental SES may still be influential.
Prospective analyses of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth [19] found that children from lower SES families were more likely to have been overweight during the prior year than children from higher SES families. Negative associations between obesity status and household income and parental education were found even when controlling for ethnicity and other demographic variables.
Several mechanisms could underlie the link between low SES and obesity. Factors such as limited access to resources, poor knowledge of nutrition and health, increased exposure to fast-food outlets, and limited physical activity due to deprived or unsafe neighborhoods [20, 21] have been suggested to influence energy intake and energy expenditure and, consequently, body weight. For instance, in an ecological study of 267 postal districts in Melbourne, Australia, families living in the poorest SES strata

Yesterday's commemoration of Veterans' Day was its usual unremarkable mixture of rain-soaked ceremony and unabashed commercialism. President Bush paid all due honor to the nation's fighting forces while promoting his own war with Iraq. Aging soldiers closed ranks - they're dying at a rate of a thousand a day now - and some schools and offices closed doors, an homage to those who made the ultimate sacrifice before such a notion became a Hollywood clich?. Still, time did not stop yesterday at the 11th hour of the 11th day, when the original Armistice was signed.

Russian and U.S. troops speed side by side in armored personnel carriers and Humvees, their colorful unit flags whipping in the chill autumn wind. A Hollywood fantasy or Tom Clancy potboiler? No. Those were real Russian and U.S. units on maneuvers last month in the hills above Ft. Riley, Kan. The unthinkable has become the unremarkable only four years after the collapse of the Soviet empire, which brings us to Veterans Day, 1995. It is an opportunity to reflect upon, and pay tribute to, those who served the United States in war and stand ready to defend its best interests in peace.
Veterans Day: A Time To Remember
November 9, 1986
By Marilou Regan, Special to The Inquirer
In Delaware County, where there are more than 90,000 veterans and 75 veterans posts, Veterans Day has special meaning. "Patriotism is still alive and well in Delaware County," said John Kearney, a member of Springfield's American Legion Post 227. "The veterans organizations here are very strong in their memberships and in their activities. We're very involved in Americanism. " The veterans organizations in the county include the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, the Disabled American Veterans, the Jewish War Veterans, the Vietnam Veterans of America, the Veterans of World War I and a group of former prisoners of war. Kearney, who was in the Army in World War II, said the veterans groups perform community service by visiting hospitals, sponsoring scholarships for youths and entertaining disadvantaged and retarded children.

But it don't seem right. " What don't? "This is a holiday.
Flag Exchange To Highlight Big Veterans Day In Media

The largest Veterans Day parade in the town's history is planned to begin at noon Thursday, with a military flyover; 17 school bands; a host of state officials, including Gov. Ridge as the grand marshal; and a Veterans Legacy flag-exchange ceremony. Mayor Bob McMahon, the parade's chairman, said that during the flag exchange, each veteran will hand a U.S. flag and a POW-MIA flag to a relative or student. "Through the flag exchange ceremony, we hope to give a new generation who has not experienced war firsthand a chance to appreciate what their family members did to preserve freedom in this country," McMahon said.

Alfred Pirolli is just like the rest of us. He still feels a thrill, "a tingle in the spine," he calls it, when the flag passes by and the band plays "The Star-Spangled Banner. " And when a lone bugler sounds "Taps," a lump builds in his throat and his eyes mist a bit. "Yeah, it's still there. Though I hear the national anthem and 'Taps' every day, the feeling's always there. I think it's there for all of us," Pirolli said. He knows that tomorrow, during the 10 a.m. Veterans Day wreath-laying ceremonies of the United Veterans Council on Washington Square, those feelings will return.

After a 30-year military career in which he earned three graduate degrees, rose to the rank of colonel, and served as an aide to Pentagon brass, Robert Freniere can guess what people might say when they learn he's unemployed and lives out of his van: Why doesn't this guy get a job as a janitor? Freniere answers his own question: "Well, I've tried that. " Freniere, 59, says that his plea for help, to a janitor he once praised when the man was mopping the floors of his Washington office, went unfulfilled.
Jeffrey Kornblau, lawyer specializing in injury cases
November 15, 2013
By Bonnie L. Cook, Inquirer Staff Writer
Jeffrey M. Kornblau, 56, of Huntingdon Valley, a lawyer in Pennsylvania and New Jersey who specialized in injury cases, died Monday, Nov. 11, of complications from a stem-cell transplant at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. In 1985, Mr. Kornblau opened a civil-litigation law firm in Philadelphia and Scranton, advocating for victims of injury, accidents, medical negligence, and other types of negligence. The practice expanded, and in 1987, he partnered with his wife, the former Lynn Sare, to establish Kornblau & Kornblau with offices in Jenkintown, Philadelphia, and Scranton.
A pause for reflection at the Constitution Center
November 13, 2013
By Vernon Clark, Inquirer Staff Writer
For John Campbell, it was a trip to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington that inspired him to spend nearly a decade chronicling the lives of the 43 soldiers and sailors from Gloucester County who died in the war. That day in the early 1990s, the Vietnam vet found himself staring at the Wall. "I saw all those names," Campbell said. He felt he owed it to each of those men to tell his story. Campbell was one of many veterans and others who spent Veterans Day at the National Constitution Center, honoring those who served with words of reflection.
At veterans' cemetery, New Jersey remembers
November 13, 2013
By Edward Colimore, Inquirer Staff Writer
The seats outside of the chapel at the Brig. Gen. William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Arneytown began filling up early as final preparations were being made for Monday's Veterans Day ceremony. Richard Jacobowitz, a Marine Corps veteran, came out to "honor all those who served and pay respects to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. " He would later visit the grave of his brother-in-law, Cpl. Luigi Marciante Jr., who died in the war in Iraq. "He was 25 years old," said Jacobowitz, 43, of Jackson, Ocean County.
DN Editorial: Battle scars
November 12, 2013
TODAY is the Veterans Day holiday. But if today is typical in all other respects, 22 American veterans will commit suicide. That brutal reality - 22 veteran suicides a day, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs - is driven not just by what our vets are asked to withstand on the battlefield, but by our treatment of them once they come home. In fact, Veterans Day seems increasingly to have become the day we take stock of our failing of our veterans, rather than a day to honor them.
From combat in Iraq to construction stateside
November 12, 2013
By Diane Mastrull, Inquirer Columnist
James M. Davie is president and CEO of a fledgling construction-management and general-contracting company. But the titles don't matter to him on Veterans Day. Being a Marine does. "I'd do it again if they'd let me," the 33-year-old Havertown resident and former corporal with the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit said of enlisting. Honorably discharged after sustaining serious injuries in an October 2004 insurgent attack in Fallujah, Davie will join other wounded warriors in a parade down Fifth Avenue in New York.
The Coop flies home
November 12, 2013
By Molly Eichel
AW, THERE'S A REASON - despite the blockbusters and critical acclaim - that he'll always be "Rydal's own Bradley Cooper " to me. Cooper was in town this weekend to celebrate his 20-year high-school reunion with ol' chums at Germantown Academy. On Friday, he walked around the campus and caught up with old teachers, then headed to the reunion at MaGerks in Fort Washington (582 S. Bethlehem Pike). Cooper then stopped by the GA-Penn Charter football game, where Germantown Academy's Patriots triumphed, 42-35, ending a long losing streak against Penn Charter's Quakers.
A Veterans Day salute to two soldiers
November 12, 2013
THEY WERE young and idealistic when they enlisted in the U.S. Army, right out of high school. Both men served overseas in wartime, protecting their country's interests. That's where the similarities end. Their experiences are separated by decades, social mores and very different outcomes. One of the brave soldiers I'm spotlighting today, thankfully, is still with us. Recognition for the other soldier's contribution comes late. But the sacrifice he made for his country has not gone unnoticed.
Veterans remember World War II
November 12, 2013
By Edward Colimore, Inquirer Staff Writer
The veterans were in their late teens and early 20s when they fought in places that most people now know only from history books: Normandy, the Ardennes, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. But as the nation marks Veterans Day, 70 years later, their memories of World War II remain vivid, as if the physical and mental wounds of their service had been much more recent. Sam Laskin, 93, of Lower Providence Township, clearly recalls piloting a B-24 bomber, dubbed "Mean Kid," over a German target in France in 1944 when flak passed through his plane, seat, and right leg before exiting the fuselage.

|How about fighting for the old one, instead of haggling with Republicans over how much to cut? We created nine million jobs. Now they're disappearing. Outsourcing, downsizing, buyouts. They build T.V.'s in Mexico for a dollar a day, on dirt floors with cardboard walls...

2 h 3m | Video: AVC (.mp4) 1280x720 30fps | Audio: AAC 32KHz 1ch
Genre: eLearning | After Effects | Project Files Included | 29 Aug 2014
In this series of tutorials, we'll learn how to use After Effects' 3D Camera Tracker and how to integrate assets into the shot. We'll be doing an augmented reality style project to learn these techniques. While the graphics have more of a 2.5D feel, they are totally integrated into the 3D space of the original shot. To be able to achieve this look we must learn which settings we need for the 3D camera tracker and then how to use it to create a camera and null objects. We then learn how we can take simple 2D graphics which are switched on to 3D, to be placed into the scene all while following the depth of the shot. We learn the value of nested compositions and the role that collapse transformations plays as well as a few techniques for working with and animating strokes in After Effects. By the end of this tutorial you'll know how to solve a shot in 3D as well as integrate graphics into the scene.

Size: 654.261 MB
Softimage and CINEMA 4D are powerful all-around 3D content creation applications that each have their own strengths. Sometimes an artist who has primarily worked in one application, Softimage for instance, finds that they need to be able to work in another program. These artists know what they need to accomplish and how to finish their projects, but they just need to know the capabilities of the new application and where they can quickly find the tools and functions they're looking for.

Lynda - Creating a Show Open in After Effects and CINEMA 4D
Size: 1.812 GB
Film and television clients want strong openings for their shows. Adding a custom motion-tracked logo to the opening credits can add an extra burst of energy as well as reinforce the themes of the program. In this course, Andy Needham shows how to take existing footage, track it with the CameraTracker plugin for After Effects, and define a ground plane and 3D origin point for your footage. Then you'll bring the scene into CINEMA 4D and use its MoGraph tools to design an animated logo, plus match the lighting with the original background plate. Then learn how to bring it all together with color grading and optical lens effects back in After Effects.

Volkswagen Cross Up! aimed at rugged lifestyle folks, complete with plastic cladding

Motorcycling needs new blood to ensure survival. Honda's take on this is to attract people into motorcycling with a cheap, honest and stylish workhorse – and the CBR250R is it.

Strictly speaking, the BROS 400 is heavy, underpowered and outdated. But the cheap grey imports are surprisingly nice to ride – they're well balanced, steer well and the engine is flexible, torquey and characterful given its 33bhp output. That also makes it legal for new riders on a restricted licence.

The Honda F6C Valkyrie is one of those traffic-stopping motorcycles that non-bikers are simply fascinated by.

The Honda CBR125R is an excellent 'mid market' 125. There are cheaper to buy / run bikes, like Honda's own CG125 but they lack kudos. There's a flotilla of fancy, mainly European motorcycles like Aprilia's gorgeous RS125 but they're silly money. But the Honda CBR125R's a tidy little motorcycle with a reliable four stroke engine, safe handling and brakes.

The Honda CBF600 is undoubtedly a supremely competent motorcycle but lordy, is it dull! Bulky and heavy for a 600cc motorcycle, the Honda CBF600 lacks any real "go", despite being well designed and built.

Happy 1.5th Anniversary!
It's June 26 today, happy happy eighteenth monthsary, my love! I can't believe we've come this far. It's all so surreal—even up to now. I remember we looked like kids one and a half years ago. Now, you're looking more and more like a young lady! I looked at your pictures just now. All of your albums in facebook. (Yeah, 'cause I'm stalker-ish like that. HAHA.) And as I was browsing your albums, I can't believe how lucky I am, because there's this radiant, heart-stoppingly beautiful chinita that I know is mine, and that loves me back. I look at your deep chocolate eyes and lovely, slender hands, thinking that, in five months, I'm gonna be looking at you and we'll be HHWS!
I love you so much, and I'll say that everyday for the rest of my life. That it's only you I'll love, and nobody else. We're like strawberries and cream on a sunny Wimbledon day, or hot pan de sal and Dairy Creme, or pancakes and maple syrup, or chocolate ice cream and a waffle cone. We just are meant to be, you and me. :"> And I know, with my overly cheerful and optimistic—and hopelessly in love—heart, that it's only you I'll give myself to. I'm willing myself to make our love last forever, because I know you're worth all the wait. 'Pag nagkita na tayo, palagi kong hahawakan ang mga kamay mo, at palagi kitang yayapusin at hahagkan. Nakakasabik ka na kasi, e.
You remember when I told you that someday, I'll tell the world how much I love you? Well, here it is.
