Alpha hydroxy acid refers to a group of natural acids added to skin care products and recommended by dermatologists as a treatment for various skin problems including sun damaged and aging skin. There are several kinds of alpha hydroxy acids. They include glycolic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid and mandelic acid, which are derived from natural sources such as sugar cane, milk, grapes and citrus fruits. Glycolic acid, from sugar cane, and lactic acid, from sour milk, are the most common alpha hydroxy acids used in skin products because they penetrate skin the best.
In skin care products, alpha hydroxy acids are effective for treating signs of skin aging. The outermost layer of the epidermis called the stratum corneum is made up of skin cells called keratinocytes that are sloughed off regularly to reveal new cells underneath. With age, this process slows down, causing skin to look dull. Alpha hydroxy acids speed up this process by dissolving the glue-like substance between the cells so that they're shed more easily. This increased rate of sloughing, called desquamation, thins out the outer layer of the skin so that it reflects light better and looks more youthful.
Creams and ointments containing allantoin are used to treat skin conditions like diaper rash in babies, wind burned skin from exposure to cold, sunburned skin from overexposure to the sun, chapped lips and to ease the discomfort of cold sores. Allantoin can also be applied to scrapes, burns and cuts as a way to soothe and protect the area. It also appears to speed up wound healing by stimulating new skin cell growth and is sometimes used to treat radiation skin burns in people who are undergoing radiation treatment for cancer. Allantoin is available as a shampoo combined with coal tar to treat scalp psoriasis, seboorhea, dandruff and eczema involving the scalp.
Research shows that alpha hydroxy acids help to soften fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin pigmentation and improve skin texture. With regular use, skin feels smoother and looks more youthful. There's also evidence that alpha hydroxy acids boost production of collagen, a protein in the dermis that gives skin support and its ability to resist wrinkling and sagging. Alpha hydroxy acids are available in anti-aging skin care products at concentrations of 5% of 10% for home use.
Dermatologists and health care professionals use alpha hydroxy concentrations of 50% to 70% to do superficial chemical peels or "lunchtime peels." These peels provide faster improvements in skin appearance and texture, but they have the greatest benefits when they're done as a series a few weeks apart. These peels cause moderate amounts of skin redness, irritation and burning and give the face a flushed appearance that may last for several days.
It's not necessary to get a chemical peel to get results from alpha hydroxy acids. Lower concentrations of these acids available in skin care products for home use have skin rejuvenating benefits when they're used regularly over several months. The weak acids increase the turnover of dead skin cells, soften fine lines, lighten pigmented areas and give skin a smoother texture that reflects light better. Alpha hydroxy acids also function as humectants, drawing water from the environment to keep skin moist. Lactic acid is a particularly effective humectant and moisturizer.
Alpha hydroxy acids are also effective for treating acne, although another type of weak acid called beta hydroxy acids are a better choice for treating acne-prone skin. That's because beta hydroxy acids are lipid soluble. This means they're better able to penetrate clogged sebaceous glands and exfoliate the dead skin cells inside that cause clogged pores and acne bumps. Beta hydroxy acids are best for acne-prone skin, while alpha hydroxy acids are a better choice for rough, sun-damaged skin.
People who use alpha hydroxy acids for facial rejuvenation should always wear a sunblock for sun protection. Since alpha hydroxy acids thin the stratum corneum, they make skin more susceptible to sun damage. Fortunately, a sunscreen with a high SPF (30 or greater) that blocks UVA and UVB rays, a hat and sunglasses provides some degree of protection against ultraviolet light.
Alpha hydroxy acids appear to be safe, but they can cause skin irritation, especially during the first few weeks. The degree of irritation varies with the concentration of the acid and the vehicle it's suspended in. People with sensitive skin may have more pronounced skin irritation when using alpha hydroxyl acids and will benefit by using a lower concentration or apply the product every other day to reduce irritation.
In summary, alpha hydroxy acids are available in a number of skin care products these because they work well for improving skin texture, fine wrinkles and increased pigmentation, but it's important to wear a sunscreen when using these products - and to be patient. It takes time to see results.

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Multnomah University is building new student housing on its main, Portland campus. The apartment-style complex is tailored to upper classmen and older students as an alternative to living off-campus while still providing a real world living experience. Multnomah hopes to foster community and promote academic success for students looking beyond a traditional residence hall environment.
The new student housing is being built on the north boundary of Multnomah's campus along NE Pacific Street. Some of the older houses that the University has rented out over the years have been demolished and materials reclaimed. The University is working closely with neighbors in the Montavilla Neighborhood Association to ensure a smooth, safe, and environmentally friendly construction project.
The project is broken down into two phases. The first two buildings of the proposed six building project, building A and building B, make up phase one. Phase two has not been approved to move ahead by the University and has not been proposed to the surrounding neighborhood association or the City of Portland.
The current buildings will contain a total of 15 units with two, three, or four bedrooms each. Building A will be 12,600 square feet and three stories with a covered parking area accounting for much of the first floor. Building B will be 6,800 feet and two stories. Both buildings will have dedicated parking facing the Multnomah campus with no Pacific Street vehicle access - thereby reducing the need for residents to park on Pacific Street.
Nate Carter, a design principal at Eleven Engineering and Design LLC, designed the project. Integrated Construction Group LLC is the builder.
Students will have their own bedrooms and will only be responsible for paying their portion of the rent - even if the other bedrooms aren't occupied (this is a big advantage over off-campus apartment living).
Many students choose to live off-campus when they turn 21 and are no longer required to live in residence halls. Apartment-style living offers older students and upperclassmen the opportunity to stay on campus while enjoying the amenities of off campus living. Having more apartments on-campus allows them to continue to be a part of the community and makes a daily commute unnecessary. In addition to the academic benefits of living close to University services, students will benefit from what is perhaps the most formative part of a Multnomah education - that of living in close community with others and being personally and spiritually formed in the process.
"Relationships are key to the collegiate experience. Living on campus connects students to one another and the University in a very unique way," Assistant Director of Housing Operations Christy Martin said. "Research has shown that living on campus has a positive influence on a student's grade point average, level of involvement in campus activities, retention at the University, and satisfaction with his or her collegiate experience. Our hope is that by providing additional apartment-style housing, more students will thrive in their collegiate experience as they reap the benefits of living on campus."
"As an institution, we felt it was a really good opportunity to get a lot of our students back," Dean of Campus Life Dave Groom said. "With the older students, we hope to not insulate them in a residence hall environment, but keep them on campus so they can experience the benefits of being close.
"It's a very temporary season of life, so it's a way for students to bridge life between college and life after Multnomah University. Part of developing life skills is autonomy and being an independent adult in society."

Multnomah University is a fully accredited, private, non-denominational, Christian institution of higher education, located in Portland, Oregon with teaching sites in Reno, Nevada; Seattle, Washington; and Anchorage, Alaska. Made up of an undergraduate Bible college, a biblical seminary, a graduate school, an adult degree completion program, and an online distance-learning program, Multnomah issues bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees, and professional certifications and endorsements.

FiftyOne, the company that provides globalization and international logistics services to US-based online retailers such as Gap, Pottery Barn, and Crate & Barrel, announced today that it is acquiring Canada Post's Borderfree unit. Borderfree, one of the first organizations to play a role in driving cross-border eCommerce, carved out a niche for itself helping US online retailers target online shoppers in Canada.
A few observations:
The acquisition does not disrupt the landscape of solution providers. With this acquisition, FiftyOne boosts its Canadian offerings and takes a small competitor out of the market, but the acquisition does not counter any direct threat from another solution provider in the space. Other providers tend to focus on different market segments, for example, International Checkout counts hundreds of clients in the SMB space, while BorderJump focuses on Latin America and the Caribbean (For an outline of different vendors, clients can read our 2011 report on Using International Shipping To Reach Online Shoppers Around The Globe). Today FiftyOne does not face another rival with the same roster of large clients.

I have used this product for several years now. It is just as good as the more expensive "Stevia Plus", it contains the prebiotic and has the added bonus of chromium which has been shown to help even further with the blood sugar level. I highly recommend it!

Maltodextrin is a polysaccharide that is used as a food additive. It is produced from starch by partial hydrolysis and is a "cheap" sugar substitute added to way many foods people eat. This product is one of a handful that has none of this crap plus other added "natural" ingredients, inulin and chromium. Plus the stevia is organic and this product contains no artificial this or that crap! Knowledge is power and this is the best Stevia product I herb has in my humble opinion has.

I am so pleased with Stevia its unreal, at least until the government pretends to find something wrong with it due to sugar consumption being down in the US and people becoming less OBESE than normal for people in our nation including myself. I love sweets and I wish that there was a whole line of snack products made with Stevia, Id buy them.

Manchester actress Kaleigh Cronin visits Jersey before heading to Big Apple's Great White Way with role in 'Cabaret'
By DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader | January 15. 2014 8:34PM
ACTING NOTES: Kaleigh Cronin got her start in musical theater in productions throughout the Granite State. Early roles included two spunky adolescents — the plucky red-headed orphan "Annie" and the spirited Scout in "To Kill a Mockingbird."
Manchester native Kaleigh Cronin is preparing for her Broadway debut this spring, having landed a coveted role in the revival of the classic musical "Cabaret." Cronin is playing Lulu, a member of the Kit Kat Klub ensemble in the story based around the happenings of a seedy 1930s nightclub in Berlin.
"I feel so lucky with how everything has kind of happened for me and fallen into place," Cronin said last week between "Jersey Boys" performances in Philadelphia.
The show opens in April, when Jack and Maureen Cronin plan to be there on opening night to see their daughter realize her dream of playing on Broadway.
Kaleigh laughed when asked about her start in show business.
Young Kaleigh established that she could be more than a plucky orphan with the right hair color and her roles expanded. She nabbed parts as Scout in "To Kill a Mockingbird," based on Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning 1960 book about small-town America and issues of racism, and Anne Frank in a production about the Jewish girl who penned her now-famous diary as she and her family hid from the Nazi regime during World War II, prior to her discovery, deportation and death at a concentration camp.
"He coached me back into fighting shape and I was able to play well enough to pass the audition," she said. "It was kind of funny to me. Here I am making my Broadway debut also playing the saxophone."
The tale, set in 1931 as the Nazis are gaining a foothold, centers around nightlife at the steamy and seedy Kit Kat Klub, where English cabaret performer Sally Bowles and her relationship with American writer Cliff Bradshaw take center stage.

Two Vernal residents filed a civil lawsuit Monday against the city, the state and a former police officer who they allege used personal information from Utah's prescription drug database to harass them and steal their pain medication.
Candy Holmes and Russell Smithe allege former Vernal police Officer Ben M. Murray looked up information about them, including medical history and other private data, in the state's prescription drug database. He was able to learn when they filled prescriptions, for what drugs and in what quantities. Murray, wearing his police uniform and driving his police vehicle, then visited their home at least 30 times between January and July 2011 to conduct what he called a "pill check," according to the complaint filed in U.S. District Court.
While at their homes, Murray discussed their medical conditions and other personal business and required them to produce their medications so he could count the pills. During that process, he would distract them and pocket pills.
The couple caught on to what was happening and set up a video camera to record Murray's next visits, which always coincided with when they refilled their prescriptions.
Murray was arrested in August 2011 and resigned from the police force. Murray apparently managed to take hundreds of Oxycontin and Percocet pills from the couple.
The complaint says Murray knew Holmes and Smithe had criminal histories, mental health issues, were uneducated and poor and thus were unlikely to question him or figure out that his actions were unlawful.
"He hoped that they would be too dumb to notice the pills were missing," the complaint says. "He counted on the fact that they would be too scared to stop him from coming into their homes and stealing their medication because of his status as law enforcement."
The court filing says that as a result of Murray's actions, Holmes and Smithe suffered physical pain, extreme shock, severe emotional distress, humiliation, embarrassment and "instilled in them a significant and continuing fear of law enforcement officers." It asks for damages of at least $2 million.
It says the city and the state failed to adequately supervise or have policies in place to stop Murray from carrying out his scheme and also did not adequately monitor use of the prescription medication database, which can be accessed by police as well as doctors and pharmacists.

The 26-year-old Cordier went 1-3 with a 5.85 ERA (32.1ip/21er) in 17 games (five starts) with three different teams within the Atlanta minor league system. Originally selected by Kansas City in the second round of the 2004 First-Year Player Draft, Cordier was acquired by Atlanta in exchange for infielder Tony Pena, Jr. on 3/23/07.
Pie, 27, began the 2012 season with the Camden Riversharks in the independent Atlantic League and hit .353 (18-for-51) with three homers and 12 RBI in 13 games. He was signed by Atlanta on 5/11 and spent the remainder of the season with Triple-A Gwinnett, where he hit .285 (95-for-333) with 26 doubles, seven triples, six home runs, 51 RBI and 16 stolen bases in 96 games. The Dominican native has spent parts of five seasons in the Major Leagues with the Cubs (2007-08) and Orioles (2009-11) and has produced a .249 average (240-for-964), 17 home runs and 97 RBI in 398 games. He has made 184 appearances in left field, 175 in center field and five in right field during his big league career.
Bromberg, 25, went 4-4 with a 3.84 ERA (93.2ip/40er) in 35 games (11 starts) during the 2012 campaign at three different levels within the Minnesota farm system. The 6'5" righthander, who was the Florida State League Most Valuable Pitcher in 2009 and the Appalachian League Pitcher-of-the-Year in 2007, was a three-time All-Star during his seven seasons in the Twins organization. He was Minnesota's 32nd round selection in the 2005 First-Year Player Draft.
The 25-year-old Sanz went 12-3 with a 3.31 ERA (119.2ip/44er) while playing at the Class-A level within the Detroit system in 2012.

Valdez, 28, spent the 2012 season playing in the Mexican League, where he batted .359 (140-for-390) with 19 home runs and 78 RBI in 104 games with Ciudad del Carmen. Primarily used as a third baseman, Valdez spent seven years in the Oakland farm system before splitting the 2010-11 seasons between the Boston and Washington organizations. In his career, Valdez has made 423 appearances at third base, 137 at second base, 36 at shortstop, 26 at first base and six in left field.

When the history of American capitalism is written, the chapter on Detroit will detail a tale told by idiots signifying nothing but hot air and incompetence. thirty years ago when the initial oil shock hit the United States any normal business executive would have examined the future and decided it was time to rethink the nature of what type of cars should be manufactured in the United States. Instead of exploring ways to produce cars which were fuel efficient, the brainless boy wonders of Detroit continued putting out gas guzzlers and allowed the rest of the world to capture the market for cars which obtained more miles to the gallon of gas. Democratic Party leaders made clear to Detroit business executives there would be no money until they put forth an economic plan that made sense.
The Canadian government which is concerned about automobile production agreed with Senator Reid and House Speaker Pelosi that it was better to wait a few weeks and discover if Detroit could furnish evidence they had a viable economic plan for the future of cars. As Nancy Pelosi put it: "It's all about accountability and vitality. Until we can see a plan where the auto industry is held accountable and a plan for viability on how they go into the future, until we see the plan, until they show us the plan, we cannot show them the money." Well said.

CINCINNATI - The University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics named Mackenzie Fields (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mariemont) and David Tepe (Liberty Township, Ohio/Lakota East) the 2013 UC Female and Male Athletes of the Year, respectively. The award is voted on by Bearcats coaches.
Fields, a member of the women's track and field team, was recently selected as UC's Helen Norman Smith awardee, which goes to the top senior female student-athlete who has distinguished herself by academic achievement, athletic accomplishment and service to the campus community.
Fields had a storied senior season with the Bearcats. Selected to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Capital One Academic All-America Second Team, she holds UC's Gettler Stadium and school records in the outdoor pole vault. She swept the BIG EAST Conference Indoor and Outdoor pole vault titles and captured the Jesse Owens Classic meet record with a personal best jump of 14'3.25".
After finishing 10th at the NCAA Indoor Championships to pick up All-America honors, Fields followed with a 14th-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor East Preliminary. She was named the 2012-13 BIG EAST American Eagle Outfitters Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year for UC.
Tepe won the 2012 BIG EAST Golf Championship, shooting a career-best 8-under par with a 76.0 stroke average. The senior earned All-BIG EAST Conference honors after claiming medalist honors in a wire-to-wire victory at the conference championship. He competed at the 2013 NCAA tournament, becoming just the fourth UC student-athlete in school history to accomplish this feat.
He posted two top-20 finishes, including a tie for 12th place at the Marshall Invitational with an even-par (70-75-68 = 213). Tepe also notched three top-30 finishes this season, giving him 21 for his career.
Tepe qualified for the U.S. Public Links Championship, finishing first among 48 participants after carding a 4-under par 136 (67-69) in a qualifier at Sharon Woods Golf Course in Cincinnati.
Fields' and Tepe's selections round out UC's 2013 end-of-year accolades. The award-winners are as follows:
Jimmy Nippert Award
Tommy Marks, Men's Track and Field
Helen Norman Smith Award
Mackenzie Fields
Team of the Year
Coach of the Year
Susan Seaton, Women's Track and Field
Female Athlete of the Year
Mackenzie Fields, Women's Track and Field
Male Athlete of the Year
David Tepe, Men's Golf

Ragnarok Online and Granado Espada because of SoundTeMP. They are the best MMORPG composers ever.

Definitely Lineage II!
RF Online and Everquest Next Landmark have good music too
I think most of these are ppl who just link music to games that are nostalgic to them, not really music that are actually really well done for a game, i've yet to see anything in this thread that even comes close to the quality (and effort/cost of production) of the music in lineage 2
Gameplay wise I only like Ragnarok Online not Granado Espada. But I still love Granado Espada's OST. So it's not just liking the music because it's nostalgic. More like I really love the ambient trance music in MMORPGs.
Cant believe no one said lord of the rings online. Its the only game where I leave the background music on.
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, best music I've heard in a long time.
I do like the music from FFXIV:ARR. Garuda's Theme & when you're fighting Twintania is in Coils Turn 5 are my favorites.
FFXIV:RR had some incredible music in there
FFXIV again! garuda/titan...
Thanks for the backup FFXIV fans, there is really just too many amazing songs in it to post here.
Late to topic but granado espada has had the best music of any MMO since 2006 and most people here will agree with me.
Currently playing :Grand Fantasia(yet again...)
IGN: Neclord
To go slightly off topic but...How is Granado Espada? Kind of looked into it before but never really played if the music is really that amazing I should probably give it a look.
Granado Espada is a game by the creator of Ragnarok Online (who is now making Tree of Savior). The music is by SoundTeMP, also the same group that made the OST for RO. Granado Espada is quite different from RO however. It's based on the idea that a single player plays a whole family (3 people) at once. Combat is pretty much "auto" as it has an integrated bot (but you can of course also manually target and attack). I didn't like the concept too much because I really just want to play a single character I can identify myself with. Better just get the OST instead.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Most of us x-ray when we de-sex cause they are 'knocked out' already with the meds so you can get a good clear x-ray.
FINAL x-rays on hips for breeding and all are done when our dogs are older. But even at 6 months if our pups hips are crap (or going to be crap) you can see some signs.
Off hand, if you got your pup from a responsible breeder and the parent dogs had good x-rays/hips, then you probably are just seeing pano.
|Personally, I think your dog is still recovering from the spay. Some dogs just like humans take longer than others. If your still concerned a month from now you can always take her for an xray to ease your mind. Even though from everything ive read, I agree youngvdogs are loosey goosey, but if there are issues now I think they would show up on an xray to a experienced vet or ortho. Good luck with your puppy and try not to worry.
Hip Dysplasia/Pano/Stiffnes - very confused!
Hi everyone,
Just after as much advice as possible.
I have a 7 month old German Shepherd girl, and lately she has seemed a bit stiff after getting up from a sleep.
She was desexed 3 weeks ago, and I have been wondering if she could still be a bit uncomfortable from the procedure or if this is something different. During the procedure the vet checked her hips for me, and she told me they are a little "loose" but that xrays will not be helpful before she is 18 months of age and fully grown. She said her bones and joints are not fully developed yet and that it is common for puppies to be a bit loose in the joints.
I am a bit worried though, and I can not seem to stop obsessing about this..
I am very careful not to exercise my girl too much (mostly off leash exercise, no long walks on concrete etc, and no jumping in/out of the car).
Is it possible to be TOO careful with your puppy? Can they "under-develop" if you take too much care?
She is a very gentle pup, but after the surgery she has become very quiet and not as eager to play anymore. Don't get me wrong, she loves to play and interact with other dogs, but at home she walks around very slowly and she sleeps a lot. She has also gone off her food a bit, she will eat it but is not as excited when I prepare it as she used to be and she eats a little bit then leaves it for awhile then comes back, then leaves it.
This is my first puppy, and I am not sure if all this are normal things and changes when puppies are growing up or if should be worried..
Would like to hear everyone's experience with their puppies, what to look out for and tips in general. Please feel free to ask questions if you need more info. I might even try to post a video, I am not sure how that works since I am new to this site.
Thanks in advance!
Elin & Kalevi.

AMES, Iowa – Community organizations across the state can apply to become Iowa AmeriCorps 4-H Outreach host sites. The application deadline is May 27.
"AmeriCorps is a national service program," said Judy McCarthy, with Iowa AmeriCorps 4-H Outreach. "In Iowa, it is a cost-effective way for meeting identified community needs, and that is very important. It also provides opportunities for people to serve and help their communities."
The Iowa AmeriCorps 4-H Outreach program is a partnership between AmeriCorps and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. The program seeks community programs and organizations that serve K-12 youth and want to boost their youth development activities. For example, AmeriCorps 4-H members have helped organizations develop mentoring or tutoring programs, enhance out-of-school programs or expand youth philanthropy and community service.
Any youth-serving non-profit organization, school, government agency or faith-based program is eligible to apply to participate in the broad-based youth development program. AmeriCorps is a cost effective way to expand youth programming in communities or to offer new programs, McCarthy added.
To apply for host site placement, community leaders can download the application from the Iowa 4-H website, http://www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/americorps, and email the form to McCarthy at, firstname.lastname@example.com.
The application to become an Iowa AmeriCorps 4-H Outreach host site is due May 27. Host sites will be announced in June, and from there, the sites will recruit AmeriCorps members to serve their programs. Members begin working in September, and will work for a year.
"Members of the program will be trained on research-based 4-H youth development practices," said McCarthy. "This year we're putting more of an emphasis on the science, technology, engineering and math areas and healthy living programming in support of the governor's statewide initiatives. This program is a great opportunity for members to explore career options, build their resumes, develop new skills and knowledge and earn money to pay for college and other expenses."
The AmeriCorps program is administered by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, which coordinates the activities of AmeriCorps members serving in communities across the state. Members lead efforts to recruit and mobilize volunteers, often 4-H'ers, for a variety of educational activities and programs, coordinate community youth leadership initiatives, develop new partnerships between private organization and youth-serving programs and design and develop community service learning projects.

Neither. 18-20" barreled 12-gauge pump with 2 3/4" low recoil 00 buckshot. OR, a Remington 870 express with 18" barrel in 20-gauge loaded up with #2 buckshot. Held one the other day and they're nice little pumps...20-gauge will pack a punch at 15 feet.

If you observe from highly light-polluted sites, or if you want the maximum contrast enhancement for observing faint emission nebulas from areas of moderate light pollution, an Orion UltraBlock filter is just for you. With an UltraBlock filter attached to your telescope eyepiece, emission and planetary nebulas are visible from urban areas, where they are completely invisible without such a filter! In darker-sky locations with only moderate light pollution, many celestial objects will appear significantly enhanced over unfiltered and wideband-filtered views.
Orion UltraBlock filters block all forms of light pollution. They reject wavelengths from incandescent and fluorescent lighting, which wideband filters cannot stop. Extremely high (99.9%) blocking of critical mercury and sodium emission bands and very high transmission of hydrogen-beta and ionized oxygen wavelengths result in the highest contrast gain of any competing light pollution filter.
Available in 1.25" or 2" sizes for use with either 1.25" telescope eyepieces or 2" oculars, Orion UltraBlock filters make views of emission and planetary nebulas better. Get one today for your own telescope eyepieces!

More than anything in my long career in stock photography, I have most enjoyed interactions with photographers and their work. Now that I've finished my book about microstock photography, I've decided to offer microstock photographers a relatively inexpensive consulting service (a mini-consult) for $39.00 to satisfy that need and to generate some scratch.
So far since I started this program a few weeks ago, I've reviewed portfolios. Helped photographers isolate and concentrate on their strong points. Isolated market areas that a person was uniquely skilled to exploit. Discussed future changes that I see. Speculated on possible revenue streams against changes in the business. Offered advice on book publishing, all among other issues and advice.

Thanks to all the wonderful experience I gained writing blogs for Dreamstime for two years nicely organized by Maigi here, I have decided to go forward with a new blog on my own site found here I hope you find them helpful as you continue to succeed at Dreamstime and look for fresh ideas about photography and your work.

It's been two years and one month and well over a hundred blogs written since I joined Dreamstime. But now it is time to say goodbye as I move on to finish writing a book that continues the themes of my blogs to be published by an imprint of Random House and to concentrate more fully on my busy consulting business.
In the beginning I thought that all the learning would be one-way: me passing on all I had learned in 30 years in the traditional stock photo business to the Dreamstime team and photographers. In reality I learned a great deal more than I taught, I have no doubt.
I'm privileged to being one of the very few individuals whose experience spans all business models in the industry and I have Serban, Dragos, Jeff and the rest of the team to thank...
If the U.S. economic stimulus legislation works according to plan, there will be demands for images that illustrate enormous expenditures on the country's infrastructure over the next 18 months and for years to come. In addition to building roads and bridges, the bill also provides for funds for alternative energy. © Cczbb (Help) © Dragan2003 (Help)
Many outside the U.S. blame America for the worldwide depression and perhaps rightly so as it started here. If the U.S. plan does work to get the economy working again, many countries will perhaps emulate the U.S. plan. Some countries already have stimulus plans with infrastructure funding.
It follows that images that illustrate these top-spending items will be in demand for articles, websites and blogs. After the major bridge collapse...
Microstock falls into the UGC classification but when one tries to define UGC to someone who has never heard of it, you realize that the designation doesn't totally apply to Dreamstime. A friend in the industry who works with professional advertising photographers on assignments asked me to explain UGC when she found out I had attended the UCGX in San Jose, CA earlier this week.
I said the users of the content also generated it. She replied, "You mean like art directors buy in-house photographer's work?" No that's not it and so the conversation went on. And in fact in many ways as micropayment stock photography matures, it seems that quite a lot of the users don't generated content and a lot of the content makers have no need to buy it.

Who won football's Super Bowl? In my world there is more interest in what ads were more successful than news of the game itself. Which commercials resonated the most with the target audiences? Which ones garnered kudos from creatives at the top agencies? And which ones might give you some shooting ideas?
Spend some time reviewing the ads and you'll see that you can piggyback on the research that went into the themes and trends in the ads to come up with some ideas for yourself.
I spent most of today doing the "Monday morning quarterback thing" viewing dozens of the ads that I missed by being in one of the only places in the U.S. where the game wasn't broadcast: an airplane in flight.

The idea of free images makes the budget minded sing and some artists cringe. How can it be a good idea to give away what you are trying to sell? On the one hand is the sanctity of the copyright. On the other is the spirit of the Internet and an age-old marketing ploy: the free sample

Way back when in the dark ages of flight when planes were choked with cigarette smoke, everything was free…food, drinks and on every meal tray, a slim package of cigarettes provided for after meal enjoyment in case the passengers had sped through the terminal (good luck with that these days) without stopping to pick up a pack. Since research has shown that it only takes less than smoking a single pack of cigarettes to get hooked, the free pack accomplished several things....
The new year is the best time to look back at last year's successes and failures to see how to increase the former and decrease the latter in the coming year. What photos were the most successful on Dreamstime in 2008 and why? Three photos that made the top sellers in '07 remained on our list for 2008. See last year's winners in this previous blog to read about why they were successful then and now.

As retirement funds belonging to a large population of aging Boomers shrink, the word "retirement" may drop out of usage. Simultaneously as this group kisses retirement goodbye, the group just below them in the population are faced with a world of constantly changing technology to master if only to be able to communicate with their grandchildren. Meanwhile the big house they had planned on selling to fund the 'golden years' has dropped in value and they may not even be able to sell it at all for some time.
All this means that mature workers are staying in the workforce as long as they can and causing a need for images of older workers, especially interacting with technology at work and at home. Some will attempt to return to the workforce just as...

Discussion in 'March 2009' started by Dlev59, Mar 2, 2009.
That's funny. I can see why Denny likes such humble people.
the game was fun, all of your responses have been fun. fun all around! max and herrmann might not put up the stats but they get our other players excited and that adds a lot that stats can't measure. rip and dice are playing hard and leading by example. this is the first time in awhile that we'll be playing meaningful games the rest of the year rather than locking up our seeding weeks early and twiddling our thumbs waiting for the playoffs...and i like that. it gets us in the mindset to play hard every game and fight for everything. i haven't seen them take any game for granted in awhile, and yeah we just beat 4 division winners. shweet. i'm not worried about dice being tired - this was their 3rd game in 4 nights. in the playoffs he can battle every few days and recover.
So, Max and Herrmann are like the fluffers that allow Rip and Dyess to play hard?
TaS, you're hilarious.
Dyess did mention Fabio's hair in that interview last night, so maybe there is something to it.
Post of the week. Well done TaS!
The Fluffers don't sound as intimidating as the Goon Squad. Let's hope it doesn't catch on.
The bottom line quote is awesome.
Hater. You sir are going on ignore once I figure out where it is and how to use it. Max could have easily had 2 rebounds if he got got the minutes Dyess has had gifted to him.
That is exactly what MC did in the last Boston game Herm guarding Pierce. Stupid Curry. But, we won that game. Probably because Pierce was so baffled that MC actually put Hermann on him he couldn't concentrate on his scoring.
Left click on another user's name in a thread, second option from the bottom. ;) Oh, and we all know you were kidding. :P
I think Herrrrman's pony tail would be pretty distracting to a shooter if he got it flapping around on D. There was a play last night, I only remember that there were 9 minutes to go or so in the 2nd or 4th quarter, and Herrrrrman chased down a loose ball from going out of bounds and all I could think was Primoz Brezek would have unnecessarily dived for the ball right there.
It was a really good win last night. There were several things that were good, but the best thing was that each player on the court showed heart. We won this game by sheer will, and that gives me hope for the PO.
I remember that play. I also remember the camera immediately after the play showing a visibly upset Curry. I wondered at the time if that was actually the play he had drawn up.
I think the Walt thing is self-evident. Last night Eli said, one day Walt might win player of the game without even playing. Isn't that the guy you want on the other team's best player?
LOL. Luckily, Curry realized it was an idiotic move and put him on Eddie House in the 2nd half which would have been better except Eddie House proceeded to light him up. I have nothing against Hermann personally, and i really think his hair looks fabulous. I often wonder how he gets it to still look that pretty after he sweats, but bottom line his defense sucks and while his strange lay-ups are nice, they don't make me ignore the fact that he can't guard anyone.
Maybe he was just mad the play didn't work. I think it is called Option 12.
Why can't they play Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top after he scores?
I can see Hermann on the bench, hasn't played, hasn't broken a sweat. Leans over to Darrel Walker and says, 'We've got this one in the bag." Walker replies, "We're down 5 man, with 4 seconds to go" Hermann says, "Oh, I meant player of the game"
Wrong Walter. "Sharpe" Dressed Man by ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz.... t o p....

Laura Harvey's team face mounting competition from a host of rivals and Wenger says this can only be a good thing for the development of the game in England.
"I like the Ladies team because they have been here since I got here and are always in a strong position," said Wenger.
"It is a battle at that level and women's football is becoming stronger and stronger. The teams in England are developing well.
"As much as Arsenal were dominating for years with a margin, it is not as easy anymore and it has become much more difficult."

I've done some scouting and came up with three very promising spots for next season. All spots are open water.
The first spot is on a fairly large lake and it is located in a medium sized cove.
The second spot is across the street from the first spot and is a decent sized pond mixed with some swampy marshy areas.
The third spot is on a pond that is half open water and half swampy marsh with a highway about 300ft away.
What kind of decoy setup would work best?
Would the same decoy setup work for each location or should I switch it up?

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, Apr 14, 2014.
Dantley did take over for George Karl for a short-time when Karl was sick.
Just How Bad Were the 'Bad Boys'? | FiveThirtyEight
I feel like that sequence of events could never happen again with a team. The team would have been broken up or traded like the 2000 Trail Blazers before getting the chance to win. Daly would be gone "because he couldn't win the big one". Think of the beating Isiah would have taken in here after "the steal". Bird used to say that the first thing he checked when the All Star teams were announced was if Laimbeer made the team. He said he hated it when he did because Laimbeer would jovially greet him when he got on the bus with, "Hey Larry, how's it going?". Bird said he always answered, " F U, Bill." and kept walking.
Many guys bring up a lot of important points here on this thread. I'm finding out that there's a lot of hurt feelings from this time period. The Pistons were unique to the time period less for their style of play. More for their changing of image. To adapt DA RAIDER MISTIQUE... was something nobody wanted to see in the NBA. The game WAS more physical back then. We simply put our mark on that time period...and it went against everything that the Jordan led NBA was becoming.
I love that exchange between Bird and Laimbeer. In the clip Bird claims that Laimbeer would deliberately stick his foot under jump shooters to get them to roll an ankle. Then he started doing it to Laimbeer in retaliation. I don't remember Laimbeer ever being injured, though...For a guy who never worked out in the off season he held up pretty well.
I totally forgot about the Pistons/Raiders connection. The Bad Boys led the way for the hip-hop era of the early 00's.
It is unbelievable that Isiah didn't make the Dream Team.
I watched it last night. Great doc for us who weren't around the Pistons or NBA at the time.
I really enjoyed this documentary. It's important to get both sides -- both the good and the bad -- and this documentary had a lot of that. Zeke didn't come off looking that great in my opinion, but he probably didn't deserve to. He has had a ton of issues with his personality and the huge chip he has on his shoulder. I do think the media made too big a deal about the whole Bird/Thomas/Rodman spat with Rodman commenting about Bird getting a lot more pub simply because he was white. Big deal. I was surprised Jordan and Pippen did interviews for this although it should have been pointed out to Jordan -- and not just pointed out -- how bad he dissed the Pistons before the Famous Walk-off. Jordan, IMO, kept Zeke from the Dream Team. I don't believe Rodman was ever in the Olympics either. The Dantley stuff was great -- and telling. He came off as petty for wanting to get "his touches" even if it was bad for the team. Best Pistons personnel move ever to send him packing -- even better than the Sheed acquisition. I remember how methodical the offense became when Dantley got the ball. That said, the dude could score. Aguirre was just a better fit. Would have liked to hear more from The Microwave and how integral he was. Agree with some other statements that Rose was miscast in the remix show. He clearly took a swipe at Webber, which was uncalled for.
Aguire asking to have rodman replace him in the starting lineup was huge too.
It would have been good move for Josh to do on the current Piston team...but there was no Rodman type to insert....
Still would have been good.
As bad as it appeared Jalen was, has there any other player who loved the Pistons more than him...especially since he never played for them. I am pretty sure he would love a position in the organization even if was director of marketing or locker room maintenance.
I thought Jalen was fine. I liked his enthusiasm.
What did Rose say about Webber?
As a youth living in Boston me and my friends never had an issue with what Isiah said about Bird. Bird never had one either. He defended Thomas at a press conference during the Finals. Rodman was a different story especially given his status in the L at the time. Isiah laughed like it was a ridiculous statement and sarcastically agreed with Rodman. He sounds like he's moments away from hurting someone in the audio and could barely get the words out.
It was a backhand comment ... They were talking about the Pistons two missed opportunities to possibly have 3 or 4 rings when Bird intercepted the in ball pass in 87 where the Pistons thought they had game five and could have won the EC championship in game 6 back at the dome... and when it appeared that the Pistons were on their way to winning the championship in game 6 of the 88 finals, when the phantom foul stole the game from the Pistons. Either Bill Simmons or Doug Collins asked Jalen did he ever have an incident near the end of a game that cost him a championship and he said yes "something happen in 1993".....blindly referring to the CWebb timeout withot actually saying it. The audience knew what he was talking about though based on their reaction.
Wouldn't it have been pretty silly to pretend it didn't happen when they asked him like that? I used to find Jalen very entertaining but I've grown tired of him. He's reached the stage where he's almost ruining all Grantland NBA videos with the same old stuff he's been running since the first videos. I need my Jalen dose in smaller portions and more seldom.
Jalen is full of himself. I am sick of him.
Separate names with a comma.


text: You really just need someone who rebounds well and provides some kind of defensive skill the meshes with the other frontcourt guys. Greg Monroe's strength isn't weak-side defense. The Pistons need someone on the roster that who can cover block/alter shots at the rim. They also need the right perimeter guys to put our bigs in the best situations. Right now that's only Zombie Tayshaun. Greg Monroe can peak at around 15-18ppg, which is fine for your top big man scoring option. But he's going to be most effective with complementary players around him. There aren't many of those on this roster.

Chicken Zharkovia (Russian Peasant Stew)
This was a dish that brings back memories from my mother's kitchen growing up.
Chicken Jharkovia (Russian Stew)
1 fryer or roasting chicken cut up into pieces
Vegetables cut into large chunks
1 onion or 2 leeks
2 potatoes
2 stalks of celery
2 carrots
1 bell pepper
2 zucchini
2 parsnips, or turnips or both
flour to dredge chicken in
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 cups chicken broth and 1 cup of water if more liquid is needed.
Have all your vegetables washed, peeled, cut and set aside. Prepare the chicken: roll in flour seasoned with salt and pepper (start with 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper). Shake off excess flour and add to heavy dutch oven with 2 Tbsp. butter and 1 Tbsp oil heated. Brown all chicken pieces well. Remove browned chicken from pan and add all the vegetables except zucchini and parsnips. Brown well in the drippings. Add chicken to the vegetables and add 4- cups of broth. Cover and let simmer on top of stove or in preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. At this point taste and see if you need to add salt and pepper. Add the zucchini, parsnips and extra cup of hot water if needed. Cover again and cook for another half hour or until vegetables and chicken are cooked through.
Serve with good bread.

This looks really good, I have most of the ingredients in my root cellar and the rest running around outside!ReplyDelete
That looks really good! Love those hearty old-fashioned meals. This is going to be dinner tonight! Thanks for the recipe.ReplyDelete
Ellen - did you skin the chicken before browning it?ReplyDelete
Rosella, I took off some of the more unsightly skin but not all of the skin...ReplyDelete
I mother also made this often, Ellen. It was comfort food for her when she was growing up.ReplyDelete
Ellen - I made this and it turned out delicious! I could use a tutorial on how to cut up a whole chicken though. It's been a long time since I've done one - so spoiled with cut up, deboned, skinless one can buy. This had great flavour and I made Cheddar Bay Biscuits to soak up the goodness of the juices - thanks so much!ReplyDelete
Rosella, Cutting up your own chicken is tricky. I like to splurge and get a whole cut up chicken instead sometimes! Glad you enjoyed it...ReplyDelete
This sounds wonderful! Can't wait to try it!!ReplyDelete

Hi Ladies, was just wondering if maybe you have ever heard of a soup whose name translates to 'end of garden"? My aunt made this when we were kids and we really loved it, I think it had dill and maybe beet tops in addition to other vegetables.ReplyDelete

Green Bay Aims for Fifth-Straight Home Win on Saturday
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Three days after an impressive defensive performance in a 58-45 win over Loyola on Wednesday, Green Bay (7-9, 1-2 HL) will aim to run its home winning streak to five games and even its Horizon League record when the Phoenix hosts UIC (10-6, 1-2 HL) on Saturday at 3 p.m. The game was originally scheduled for 7 p.m. but was moved as part of the Back-to-Back-to-Pack promotions.
In the win over Loyola, the Phoenix never trailed and held the Ramblers to just 19.2 percent shooting in the first half, building a 28-12 halftime lead en route to the wire-to-wire victory. Freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) led the Phoenix with 13 points, 11 rebounds and a program-record tying seven steals.
In UIC, Green Bay welcomes a program to the Resch Center that it has faced more than any other in its history. Today will mark the 85th all-time meeting between the Phoenix and the Flames, and Green Bay leads the series 49-35. The Phoenix swept the season series in 2011-12, scoring 71 points twice, and has eight in a row at home against the Flames.
Green Bay has won four of its past six games while UIC enters having slowed down after a quick start. The Flames have lost five of their last six games after a 9-1 start. UIC has four players averaging in double figures, led by Gary Talton's 13.3 points per game.
FOLLOW THE PHOENIX: For fans unable to make it to the Resch Center on Saturday, the contest will be streamed live on the Horizon League Network.
The game will also be carried live by WDUZ The Fan 1400 AM and online at thefan1075.com. The play-by-play voice of the Phoenix Matt Menzl will be on the call alongside Cordero Barkley. Live stats will be available on GreenBayPhoenix.com. You can also stay up-to-date by following @GBPhoenixMBB and @GBGavin on Twitter.
1. WINDY CITY WINNING: In the past two seasons, Green Bay has experienced success against teams from Chicago. Led by Chicago native Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.), the Phoenix is 6-0 against Loyola (3-0), UIC (2-0) and Chicago State (1-0). Sykes scored a season-high 27 points at UIC in the teams' last meeting on Feb. 25, and the sophomore is averaging 15.3 points and 4.7 assists per game in the six games against his hometown schools.
2. STEALING THE SHOW: Fouse had the best game of his young career on Wednesday night, not only recording his first double-double (13 points, 11 rebounds) but also tying the program record for steals in a game with seven. Fouse tied the record held by Benito Flores, who had seven steals twice in 2004-05.
3. DEFENDING THE HOME COURT: Green Bay has won four-straight games at the Resch Center on the strength of stifling defense. The Phoenix has not allowed more than 55 points and has held three opponents in the 40s during the stretch. In the last four games at the Resch Center, Green Bay foes are shooting just 33.8 percent and averaging 47.5 points per game.
• LAST SEASON'S MEETINGS: Green Bay scored 71 points twice in sweeping a pair of games against UIC that were the bookends of the Horizon League schedules for both teams in 2011-12. The Phoenix won by three points at home in the league opener before closing the year with a 71-63 victory in Chicago. Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) and Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) averaged 14.5 points per game against the Flames while UIC was led by Daniel Barnes (13.0 ppg). UIC's leading scorer Gary Talton was held to just four points on 2-of-14 shooting in the last meeting.
• HOME SWEET HOME: Green Bay is 6-1 at home this season after four consecutive victories. In the past three seasons under head coach Brian Wardle, the Phoenix is 28-7 at the Resch Center, including an 18-3 mark since the start of the 2011-12 season. Sykes is averaging 19.6 points and 5.3 assists per game and is 52-of-64 from the free-throw line at home this season.
• FREE AND EASY: Green Bay is among the top free-throw shooting teams in the Horizon League, and its 75.3 percent from the line ranks 20th nationally. The Phoenix is 256-340 on the season and has four players with 10 or more attempts shooting at least 80 percent for the season - Kam Cerroni (25-25), Daniel Turner (11-12), Brennan Cougill (31-36) and Keifer Sykes (78-95).
• RECORD STREAK: With two free throws against Detroit, Cerroni broke the program's record for consecutive free throws made. Cerroni has now connected on 40-straight free throws, breaking a record of 38 held by Matt Rohde (2002-03). Cerroni is 25-of-25 from the line in 2012-13 and his last miss came on Feb. 4, 2012 against Milwaukee.
• HANDLE THE ROCK: Since a forgettable opener in which he committed eight turnovers without an assist, Sykes has been terrific handling the ball. With an assist-to-turnover ratio better than 2-to-1, Sykes has 65 assists compared to just 31 turnovers in the past 15 games. In addition to ranking fourth in the conference in points, he is sixth in assists (4.1) and seventh in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.7).
• KAM CATCHING FIRE: Cerroni led the Horizon League in three-point percentage as a sophomore in 2011-12 but struggled early this season from long range. However, Cerroni is starting to catch fire. He drained all three of his attempts from beyond the arc against Loyola, and since Dec. 12 at Wisconsin, Cerroni is shooting 50 percent (13-26) from three.

This weekend the Royals get a chance to prove themselves worthy of at least mention when it comes to contender status when they host the AL East-leading New York Yankees for three games at Kauffman Stadium, starting Friday night.
KC just dropped two of three games in Baltimore, but before that the Royals hadn't lost a series since losing two of three to Toronto nearly a month ago. So in its quest for its first winning season in a decade KC is off to an 18-13 start and this is reflected in the MLB betting odds for their weekend action.
That start has also helped Royals backers pocket a profit of $580 so far this season, based on those theoretical $100 wagers on each game.
New York, meanwhile, has coped well without the likes of Derek Jeter, A-Rod, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson to win 20 of its first 33 games. So the Yanks enter the weekend tied for first place in the AL East with Boston and Baltimore.
As of Friday morning baseball betting outlets were listing KC as a -135 favorite to win this series, with New York getting +115. Also, the OVER/UNDER on total runs for this series was proffered at 25.
Also this weekend around MLB betting the AL Central-leading Tigers were -280 favorites for their series against the 18-14 Indians (+230); the 21-14 Orioles, part of that three-way tie atop the AL East, were -115 favorites for their series at the 16-15 Twins (-105); the NL Central-leading Cardinals were favored by -240 for their series at home over the 19-15 Rockies; and the 16-18 Padres, who have won 11 of their last 14 games, were lined as +165 underdogs for their inter-league series at the 16-18 Rays.
