Intel's Graphics Media Accelerator is the name of the graphics chip that is included in most of Intel's modern motherboards. As software engineers at Intel develop more efficient ways of handling data, they implement these methods through driver updates. In other words, a driver update can greatly improve the performance of the graphics card in your computer.
Things You'll Need
- Internet connection
- Computer owner's manual
Navigate to the Intel Drivers Center website (see Resources).
Select "Graphics" from the list of driver types under the "Product Family" heading.
Select "Desktop graphics controllers" if your computer is a desktop or "Laptop graphics controllers" if your computer is a laptop.
Choose the name of the specific graphics card that is installed on your computer from the "product name" list (e.g., Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 [Intel GMA 3150]). You can find this information in the owner's manual that came with your computer.
Select the operating system that is running on your computer.
Click the title of the latest driver that has been released.
Read through the release notes and accept the terms of use.
Click the "Download" button.
Open the installation file once the download is complete.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install the update to your graphics driver. Note that your computer screen may flicker during this time.
Restart your computer when prompted to do so. This will finalize the installation of the driver.
Tips & Warnings
- If you are not in possession of your owner's manual, you can find the exact name of your graphics card in the Windows Device Manager. To open the device manager in Windows XP and prior operating systems, open the Start menu, right-click the "My Computer" icon, choose "Properties", click the "Hardware" tab and select the "Device Manager" button.
- To open the Device Manager in Windows Vista and later operating systems, click the Start menu and type "Dev" into the search box. Select the Device Manager application. The graphics card will be under the "Sound, video and game controllers" heading; look for "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator" followed by a model number.

Unless something else arises, a final update to this issue.
As stated earlier, I sent a letter to the Martin County Attorney, who sent a letter to me asking that I call him to discuss the matter. So I did moments ago.
His primary concern was, understandably, spending time and manpower to resolve my concerns (county ordinance banning firearms in public parks). (I thought that's what interns were for?) He admitted to not knowing the answer to my concern. Pretty weak answer for a County Attorney, in my opinion, who could have asked any number of people on the state's preemptive statute on firearms. He did admit that the sign is probably decades old and may very well be outdated (as is the still current ordinance), and he also tossed in the ever-obvious "if you keep your weapon concealed, no one will know the difference." How's that for legal opinion?
I explained that my biggest concern was someone, by whatever means, seeing or assuming I have a firearm, calling in an overzealous deputy, who then hauls me away, and I end up spending my hard-earned money to defend myself against an outdated and illegal county ordinance. It could happen, and I (we) don't need that kind of hassle.
Hearing his sweat dripping on the floor as he pondered having to explain to the county commisioners why he's having to expend money and manpower, I decided to, essentially, let him off the hook by saying I would research the state law/county odinance conflict myself.
I shall forward a letter from then-State Attorney Charles Crist to the Indian County Sheriff discussing the state's legal opinion of preemption, which clearly shows the state legislature controls firearm regulation, not counties or municipalities and, in the IR County case, that counties may not set firearm restrictions above and beyond state law.
Thank you, MattInFla , for the link to Crist's letter (see post #14). The letter in itself makes this a dead issue. I'm sure the Martin County Attorney will agree. Now, if I can just convince the little old ladies and overzealous deputies.

I don't have any idea where to begin with this. I seem to have a myriad of problems all of the sudden. Perhaps it came with my WordPress upgrade and I just failed to notice the issues. If I actually get the password box to show up after deleting my browsing history, I cannot get the content to show after entering the correct password regardless of the number of times I try. I get no error the page just seems to refresh.
Other times, I cannot get the password box to display at all unless I enclose using [sd][/sd] which also appears on the page and so all my content is readily visible. None of this is making sense to me. I have tried using both the global and inline passwords. Anyone out there experiencing issues like this? It's maddening.

It's been a while since I've posted something. I saw some Ui-Kits and thought, why not making my own one? So I tried to make mine. As somebody knows I'm not very good at icons - because I never tried to make some ones haha. So I also tried to make some icons for a music player. And yes, they aren't "super-perfect" but hey, I gave it a try. I hope you'll like this Kit!
Ah, I want to mention that I'm also a twitter-member like almost all other dribbblers now. So, give me a follow , if you want :)

The leader of the Decepticons gains wheels once again, this time as a military Humvee! Here I've created a custom Generations Megatron in a deluxe scale using a type II movie Ratchet mold, FoC Optimus Prime feet, Evasion Prime hands, and a Titanium Megatron head along with various fodder parts. The vehicle sides are now attached to the shoulders instead of the waist and fold up behind him. I also modified Ratchet's arm cannon gears to accept Megatron's new Fusion Cannon. One weathered, beaten paint job later and Megatron is ready to fight.

It's not clear to me that Chelsea spending a large amount on players ten years ago and City more recently is what has raised players wages across the leagues. It's certainly a common assertion but how can it be established? Why do the managements of the other 90 clubs feel that just because Chelsea and City were paying high wages that they had to? It's not as if had they refrained from doing it all their players would go to Chelsea and City.Yes, I think TV money plays a much bigger part in the inflation of wages. At the end of it it just seems that clubs pay as much as they think they can afford, and so constantly live on the edge. TV money should have made Premiership clubs rich. But they just used it to be in constant spiralling-up auction on player wages.Robert

Got a minute with... Lo Gordon
Published: Sunday, August 19, 2007 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 17, 2007 at 7:07 p.m.
Fourteen years ago, you and your wife, Mary, sold your wooden garage door business in Florida and moved to Brevard, where you opened Cedar Mountain Banjos and Celestial Mountain Music, an instrument and music store in downtown Brevard. How did you first become interested in banjo building?
Lo Gordon
Job: Owner, Cedar Mountain Banjos
Home: Brevard
Family: Wife, Mary, sons, Tim, Matt, Chris and Nathan, daughter, Lara
Well, Ive always been interested in building things. When I was a kid, my father was real interested in that sort of thing, too.
So if I wanted to go to build a kayak, he would help me. We built some rowboats and small canoes. Just about anything I might want to build, he gave me a hand with.
If I wanted to go fishing, I would build a fishing pole and go fishing. Thats the way it was when I got an interest in banjos at 40. I had wanted to play one all my life and never had the opportunity. All of the sudden, that opportunity presented itself. So I built a few banjos right off the bat, and started playing, and one thing led to another, and here I am today.
How did that first banjo turn out?
Very well, as a matter of fact. The first banjo was a kit, so it couldnt have gone too badly. It went through many incarnations over the years. One of my sons has it at his place, and he plays it. That sort of gave me the insight into what it would take to build a banjo.
So the next two I built in those early years were completely from scratch, except metal parts of course. I would go to music festivals because I was wanting to learn how to play.
Banjo players are always interested in what kind of banjo the other banjo players are playing. So they started asking, and I would show my banjos.
People were asking, Well, I want another banjo, would you build me one? And I would be there, Well, I cant, because I had the garage door business at the time, five kids at home. I just didnt have time to do it. But I knew that one day I would build banjos.
We were trying to relocate, trying to move from where we were in south Florida. We came up here to a mountain music week at Mars Hill College and we liked the area.
At pretty much the same time, my wood mill in Florida burned down. This looked like a really nice area. We thought we would move up here, open a music store and start building banjos. So thats what we did, and it has worked out.
How many banjos have you built?
Well be over 400 in a couple months.
Where have you shipped them?
Australia. We shipped two or three to Japan. England, maybe 20, maybe more. Germany. Belgium. The majority are here in this country, but theyre all over. Thats the really neat thing.
There are some in California, some in Washington state, some in Michigan, lots on the east coast. And its all basically word of mouth.
Editors Note: Speaking of Belgium, in 2003, the Five String Banjo Exhibition at the Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels invited Gordon to exhibit examples of his work.
What makes a great banjo?
The better banjos have a good tonal quality. It doesnt necessarily have to be the same all the time. It can be in many different places in the sphere of musical tones, just depending on the individual who is playing it.
It has got to have a nice form to it that makes it user friendly, and then it has got to be nice to look at. I think if all of those things are present, its pretty hard to do any better for any given individual.
If you look at that banjo and that talks to you, then probably youre going to get one at some point or another.
What do you love about the banjo?
What attracted me to the banjo more than anything else was probably the sound. Also I was fortunate enough that my first teacher played in a style that I was just absolutely head over heels about.
Another thing that is nice about the banjo and musical instruments in general is the fact that it is a means to emote.
I go to another jam on Wednesday nights. The Wednesday night jam is really an interesting phenomenon because we get there and start playing and it takes everybody to a whole different place than when we came into the jam that evening.
It elevates your emotional states. The emotional context of a certain tune can make you all feel along those lines, whether it be happy or sad, and when you sit around and share that range of emotions so vividly and powerfully with a bunch of people, a sense of camaraderie develops that is truly remarkable.
I mean, its amazing. I love it. I really do. Its something that if I didnt have in my life, now knowing that it exists, I would not be happy.
Thats what I like about the banjo and the music. It can change a persons place in the universe, even if its only for an hour or two hours.

Japan's Noda Unveils First Plan to Counter Damage From Yen
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda unveiled his first plan as premier to lessen the pain of a yen near postwar highs, including a pledge to grant "large" subsidies for domestic construction of factories.
"We have to establish a strong economic structure that won't be affected by movements in currency markets, whether it's a strengthening or a weakening in the yen," Motohisa Furukawa, the economy minister, told reporters in Tokyo after the government released its interim report today on measures to respond to the yen's appreciation.
The proposed steps follow announcements by companies including Panasonic Corp. of plans to relocate operations overseas in the aftermath of the yen's climb. The measures don't directly address the yen's strength against the dollar, the primary determinant of whether companies move their factories abroad, according to economist Noriaki Matsuoka.
"It looks like the yen's going to stay in the 70s range, and there's a big risk we'll see an acceleration of overseas shifts next year if that holds true," said Matsuoka at Daiwa Asset Management Co. in Tokyo. "This won't lead to a reversal in the yen's strength, but this was all that the government could do for now."
Japan's currency traded at 76.52 to the dollar at 3:38 p.m. in Tokyo compared with 76.58 in New York yesterday. It climbed to a post-World War II high of 75.95 to the dollar last month, threatening to hurt exports and derail the nation's recovery from the March 11 earthquake.
'Not Sustainable'
Nissan Motor Co. Chief Executive Officer Carlos Ghosn said "we can not judge, we can only see the results" of government measures unveiled today. He also said the strong yen was "not sustainable."
A trade ministry survey this month showed that about 15 percent of large Japanese manufacturing companies expect operating profit to drop 20 percent or more if the yen is at 76 per dollar.
Panasonic, the world's largest maker of rechargeable batteries, is moving the the headquarters of its $57 billion procurement operation to Singapore from Osaka in the year starting April 2012, Masaaki Fujita, an executive in charge of the business, said last week.
Elpida Memory Inc., the world's third-largest memory chipmaker, said this month it may shift some domestic production to Taiwan.
In addition to seeking an increase in subsidies for building factories in Japan, the government aims to create jobs and to support the finances of small- to medium-sized companies hurt by the strong yen, the statement said. It didn't say how much spending is planned for the measures.
'Double Punch'
The government also wants to aid a local tourism industry that's suffered from a "double punch" of the yen's appreciation and the March disaster, it said. Furukawa said he met with other economic policy ministers today to discuss the report. Noda's administration was launched Sept. 2.
Japanese policy makers will take "bold" action if needed on currencies because excessive moves in exchange rates could damage the economy and financial markets, the report said. The Japanese government sold 4.51 trillion yen ($59 billion) during intervention in the currency market last month, the most since 2004.
The government also said it expects the Bank of Japan to take "appropriate and bold" measures when needed.
Economic Contraction
Japan's economy shrank at a 2.1 percent annual pace in the three months through June, the third straight quarter of contraction. Government data suggest that the global slowdown may weigh on Japan's recovery, with industrial output and machinery orders both weaker than economists forecast.
"Less resilient" overseas economies and the yen's swings are among risks to the outlook of the Japanese economy, which is picking up even as post-disaster difficulties abound, the government said in its monthly economic report today.
Japan's government plans to complete the strong yen steps as early as this month after receiving feedback from lawmakers in the ruling Democratic Party of Japan, Kyodo News reported today, without saying where it got the information.

Bridge of Clay
|Markus Zusak
|Fiction, teen novel
Bridge of Clay is a teen novel by Australian author Markus Zusak, to be published by Doubleday.[1]
The book primarily focuses on family and bridges, both physical and emotional. The main character, Clay, attempts to build a bridge over a river before it floods.[2][3] Zusak has been planning the book for over ten years.[4]
In an interview with The Guardian, Zusak made the following comments:[5]
I'm writing a book called Bridge of Clay—about a boy building a bridge and wanting it to be perfect. He wants to achieve greatness with this bridge, and the question is whether it will survive when the river floods. That's all I can say about it for now—not out of secrecy, but you just don't know what direction a book is going to take, no matter how well you've planned.
The book's release date was originally set for 1 September 2011 but has been postponed to an undisclosed date.

Director: Mark Stone
Company: Wicked Pictures

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
Diehard fans of the cast.
The intros don't flatter the women performers in this series. The close-ups of chipped teeth, stray bits of facial hair, pimples and undereye bags - the imperfections every woman has at one point or another - don't do the women any favors as they chat about why they want to fuck the men in their scenes in this all-anal offering. Awkward camerawork and editing along with the completely obvious lack of spontaneity of the lines the girls recite as to why they do want to fuck make this a merely average offering.
Aria does her usual great squirting with Lee Stone, the beautiful Lauren Phoenix fights to not be upstaged by Nick Manning's groans and grunts, and Alana Evans and Selena Silver get way too giggly in their scene for their lust to be convincing. Melissa Lauren's ass fuck with Jerry is the definite highlight.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Any teams wanting to capitalize on the suspect Southeastern Conference defenses should get their shots in now.
Defenses were hit hard by the NFL draft and have turned to promising freshmen to fill vital roles.
Thirteen of the 20 SEC players selected in the first two rounds of the draft were defensive standouts. Now, nearly all the contenders for the SEC title have at least one defensive starter just out of high school.
They're learning on the job, and the lessons have been difficult.
Georgia has had five freshman defenders start games this season and the seventh-ranked Bulldogs are allowing a league-worst 32.2 points per game.
Still, several SEC freshmen have had an immediate impact. Florida cornerback Vernon Hargreaves is tied for the conference lead with three interceptions.

Swiss Said to See a Credit Suisse Charge as Destabilizing
Swiss officials would view an indictment of Credit Suisse Group AG by the U.S. as destabilizing for the bank and broader financial system, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The U.S. is seen as more likely to seek a negotiated settlement in which a unit or the bank's holding company pleads guilty, said the sources, who asked not to be named because the discussions are confidential.
Intense negotiations are underway between Credit Suisse and U.S. prosecutors over the Justice Department's crackdown on offshore tax evasion and an agreement is expected to come quickly, the sources said. The U.S. can issue a criminal information to charge the bank, which would stop short of an indictment levied by a federal grand jury.
Marc Dosch, a spokesman for Credit Suisse, declined to comment.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said today in a video message that his department is readying criminal cases against banks that show financial institutions aren't too big to prosecute.
The government is nearing decisions on whether to charge Credit Suisse Group AG and BNP Paribas SA, people familiar with those probes said. Holder didn't specify any banks.

The purpose of this conference is to further define and incorporate the concept of interconnectedness within holistic health care innovation, interventions and education.
Interconnectedness is the soul of holistic nursing. It represents a worldview that acknowledges the oneness of everyone and everything in the universe, and the realization that the meaning of life arises through interaction with, and in relation to, others. The question that arises from this worldview is how we inhabit interconnectedness in the contemporary healthcare environment. The purpose of this conference is to further define and incorporate the concept of interconnectedness within holistic health care innovation, interventions and education. Through an expansive exploration of interconnectedness, participants will leave with substantive ideas of how to create caring/healing spaces that are relational and supportive, honoring every person's individuality while knowing at a deep level that we are all one. Together we support our need to connect with ourselves as we connect with others by modeling a holistic path to wellness that is supported through all ways of knowing.
1. Examine advances in the development of health care interventions that foster and support human interconnectedness for the purpose of health promotion and healing.
2. Explore ancient teachings and wisdom traditions that support the concept of interconnectedness.
3. Examine the evolving understanding of consciousness.
4. Explore your role as a holistic nurse in an interconnected global healthcare environment.
5. Discuss strategies designed to integrate the concept of interconnectedness to clinical practice as an APRN, APHN-BC.

8. Integrate research that describes and defines interconnectedness into holistic nursing practice.
9. Discuss holistic self-care practices that enhance the nurse's interconnectedness to their internal and external environment.
10. Explore the healing benefits of creative expression.
11. Promote the development of an interdisciplinary network of holistic practitioners committed to healthcare transformation.

Making Medicare Points to Seniors
Regarding Karl Rove's "The Return of the Mediscare-mongers" (op-ed, April 4): Mr. Rove repeats the mistake that Republicans have made during the last several election cycles. They tend to speak to the overall fiscal impact of Medicare and entitlement programs. Speaking and writing about cutting the overall programs leaves an opening for the Democrats to define Republicans as hard-hearted granny killers. Instead, Republicans could easily speak to programs as they now exist and how they affect individual seniors. Currently, Medicare Part B, at about $100 per month, covers only about 80% of certain expenses. It doesn't cover eye care, prescriptions or dental care. To cover these expenses, and the 20% the patient is responsible for, one must get Medigap and Part D coverage for a total of hundreds of dollars per month. Or one can get an Advantage plan, which is somewhat less expensive.
The Democrats have lusted to get rid of the Advantage plans. Rep. Nancy Pelosi and President Obama were chortling about getting rid of the Advantage plans on a video in 2008. When Rep. Paul Ryan was first nominated for vice president, he spoke to this and he was well received, even by seniors. But he and Gov. Mitt Romney never spoke to it again. Ms. Pelosi scares seniors with talk of the Ryan plan's estimated cost of $6,000 per year 10 years from now. But Medicare costs seniors thousands per year now.
If the Republicans want to win the debate, they will need to make the argument on a more personal level, explaining how individuals are affected.

Don�t be fooled by the �new shower curtain smell� emitted when you buy a new plastic one.� That smell is actually an indication of the toxic substances that are being released, or off-gassed. Most shower curtains and curtain liners are made with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, which contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs), phthalates and metals, all of which cause a host of problems like respiratory irritation, damage to the central nervous system, headaches, fatigue, dizziness and even worse.�� You also want to avoid shower curtains with anti-mildew treatment, antibacterial or antimicrobial claims. �Who knows what�s been added to make these unregulated claims and you don�t want to be inhaling chemicals in the shower curtain!
In a study recently published by the Center for Health, Environment & Justice entitled �Volatile Vinyl: The New Shower Curtain�s Chemical Smell�, claims more than 100 chemicals are released into the air when consumers open the curtain packages. The level of total VOCs measured was over 16 times greater than the recommended guidelines for indoor air quality established by the U.S. Green Building Council and Washington State Indoor Air Quality Program. �Seven of the chemicals released by shower curtains are classified as hazardous air pollutants by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Air Act.� The heat and humidity in the shower may make the VOC concentrations even worse.
Alternatives to toxic PVC shower curtains?
Cotton, (organic cotton is even better), duck cotton, recycled sailcloth or hemp shower curtains, are best and available on line. If you can�t find cotton ones, synthetic materials are okay as long as they are made of the more environmentally friendly EVA, PVA, nylon, polyester or microfiber. Retail giants like Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond are now aware of the problem with PVC and are carrying non-PVC shower curtains and liners.� I just bought an inexpensive curtain liner made from 100% EVA Vinyl produced without chlorine.� �So � stop inhaling toxic substances and replace your shower curtain now! �You�ll be happy you did!

Commission hosts new Members States aeronautics workshop
The recent enlargement of the EU has brought ten new Member States into the European fold, many of which have strong national aeronautics legacies. On 8 September 2005, a major workshop in Brussels addressed how to promote their involvement in European aeronautics and air transport research.
"This meeting comes at a crucial time," said Head of EU Aeronautics Research Liam Breslin. "As we near the end of the Union's Sixth Framework Programme and prepare for the Seventh, the key for the new Member States is access. Each of you comes to the Union with your own unique history and expertise in the field of aeronautics, strongly linked to political events that have shaped Europe and the world. The goal now is to compete on an equal footing with other EU members and the Commission is here to help you."
From vision to reality
The EU's vision for aeronautics is guided by the Strategic Research Agenda, a groundbreaking document formulated by the Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe (ACARE). It sees two fundamental goals for European air transport in the future –meeting society's needs for air transport and making Europe the world industrial leader in the aeronautics sector.
Speaking to more than 60 assembled delegates representing both young and old Member States as well as European industrial, research and institutional players, Jack Metthey, Director of the Commission's Research DG Transport Directorate, said, "The Airbus A380 story is a prime example of shared European success in the transport sector. The key there has been the involvement of a wide-ranging and fully integrated industrial system. This includes the major companies and their supply chains but also education, which supplies the minds and enthusiasm that are our future. The key word for the new Member States and for this workshop must be integration. The next Framework Programme will be the most ambitious we have ever undertaken, including a rich palette of means and instruments for making the ACARE vision a reality. We want to bring you into the European aeronautics family, into the ACARE process."
Representing EU Research Commissioner Janez Potočnik, Kurt Vandenberghe said, "The Commissioner attaches great importance to European aeronautics. Our ultimate goal is to turn knowledge into commercial success and in this sense the aeronautics sector is already a model. For the new Member States, making a real contribution is a challenge but also an opportunity. You are facing the prospect of major restructuring, a process which should be guided by the EU Framework Programme. The Commission is committed to involving you and supporting you and I can tell you that, for Commissioner Potočnik, making enlargement a success is not just a personal priority, but a major strategic step for Europe."
A variety of perspectives
© Peter Gutierrez
The workshop, entitled 'Developing new Member States' capabilities in aeronautics research' included top EU officials, distinguished speakers from the research, industrial and academic communities, and representatives of ACARE.
Topics included:
- Aeronautics and air transport research activities under the Union's Research Framework Programme;
- Experience and best practice of Member States;
- Best practice from industry and research;
- Challenges and constraints for the new Member States;
- Ways and means of collaboration and integration;
- New Member States' contributions to the ACARE process.
Newcomers express their views
The new Member States are indeed facing some stiff challenges in the aeronautics sector, in some cases related to dire economic conditions, in others due the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Expressing the view from Poland, Mieczyslaw Majewski, President of The Association of the Polish Aviation and Defence Industries, said, "Poland lags far behind the EU-15 states in economic terms. Our new ties to NATO and the EU have given us a more positive outlook in the aviation sector, but many of our key players are still state-owned."
Jaroslav Ruzicka of the Association of the Aviation Manufacturers of the Czech Republic explained, "Before 1989, our country was heavily involved in the production of airplanes for the Russian market, including commuter planes, jet fighters and commercial airliners. Then came the collapse. Since 1994 we have been making attempts to reconstitute our industry."
The new Member States are not without ambition. The Czechs, explained Ruzicka, are promoting a bold vision for the production of small aircraft in Europe, an area where the Czech Republic has unique and impressive credentials. "In the last 30 years, no new products have been introduced in this sector," said Ruzicka. "It will happen, and it will be either the Americans or us who make it happen."
"Riga Technical University in Latvia was a leading institute for aeronautics studies during the Soviet era," said Jonas Stakunas of the Aviation Institute of Vilnius Gediminas. Representing the Baltic States, he said, "Our region maintains many of its strengths from that period and we are setting up new institutional and educational initiatives, but we still face problems when it comes to participating as full partners in European co-operative research."
Showing how it's done
The workshop also featured presentation by established EU Member States and regions, providing examples of how to succeed in an industry dominated by a few major players operating in proscribed geographic regions.
José Juez Director of the Aeronautics and Space Cluster of the Basque Country explained how his group has brought together and promoted aerospace companies in his region with the support of local government. The key for many is the pooling of resources and the coordination of efforts. Arnt Offringa of Stork Fokker AESP in the Netherlands said, " Involvement in co-operative research projects is really only a starting point. The real result is closer relationships with partners and this can lead to further business opportunities further down the line."
According to Jim Lawler, Chairman of ACARE's Member States Group, "There once was a feeling that the industry was a closed shop, dominated by four countries, and that no one else could ever hope to get in. But we see here today many models of participation. The rough and tough reality however is that this is not a charity industry. You will get in if you have something to contribute. You will need to find your place, to find where your expertise fits a demand. Your first challenge is to get to know the industry, who the players are, and where there are opportunities in the supply chain."

Love the shoes. I have several Christian Louboutin pumps and I have yet to be disappointed. The neno yellow color was perfect for winter.
So cute! Love the hot pink color. I wore them all night on New Year's Eve and didn't have to take them off. They aren't the most comfortable because of the high heel but the platform makes them totally doable. For the heel height, they are very comfortable. I am a 37 and the 37 fit perfect.
