An evangelical spokesperson for a religious group known as Truth In Action has claimed that the tragedy in Colorado happened because America has lost its fear of hell.
In an article published on OneNewsNow, evangelical Jerry Newcombe wrote:
I can't help but feel that to some extent, we're reaping what we've been sowing as a society. We said to God, "Get out of the public arena." Lawsuit after lawsuit, often by misguided "civil libertarians," have chased away any fear of God in the land -- at least in the hearts of millions.
Newcombe is not alone in reacting this way to the shooting in Aurora that claimed 12 deaths and left dozens of people injured. On the day of the shooting Rep. Gohmert of Texas also insisted that the shootings are the result of "ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian Beliefs":

In search of the perfect pizza: Leonardo's Pizza Parlor
Published Dec. 13, 2012
I first noticed Leonardo's Pizza, 11051 N. Port Washington Rd., while visiting a nearby business. Located in a strip mall behind a building on Port Washington Road, it can be tricky to find if you don't know where to look. It seemed quiet when I visited early on a Monday evening, but business soon picked up.

Apple iPad 3 – last call
You can find a list of all our iPad 3 rumours here, but in these final minutes before Apple's San Francisco launch event gets under way, we thought we'd carve our way through the list, chuck out the more outlandish speculation and make a call on what we're actually likely to see. Ready? Here goes…
Apple's 2012 tablet – iPad 3 or iPad HD
What's in a name? Well, for Apple a lot… if it decides to drop its two-generation tablet naming policy. It won't be the first time Apple's swerved from the obvious sequential nomenclature (see iPhone 4S), and that – coupled with strong opinion from Team Stuff – is why we believe Apple will name its new tablet iPad HD.
iPad HD – Retina Display
To be honest, we've wanted to see a hi-res display on the iPad since we were working up to the iPad 2 launch. The iPad HD – as its name suggests – will come armed with a Retina Display with a resolution of 264ppi (2048x1536). But it'll still have a 9.7in screen – we're banking on no iPad Mini announcements this time. Expect those 9.7 inches to be bright, though… an extra backlight could boost the brilliance of the new iPad.
iPad HD – dual-core processor
Much as we'd love to see a quad-core iPad 3 (or iPad HD), we doubt that's going to be the case. Instead, we're expecting a slickened version of the dual-core A5 found in the iPhone 4S (dubbed A5X) to run the show. Speed freaks should keep their spirits up, though – we're expecting the quad-core A6 to arrive later in the year when Apple launches the iPhone 5. Or iPhone 6? That's a question for a different day.
iPad 3 – 8MP camera
It's a no brainer – pics that are bound to be shown on that super bright new iPad HD screen will need to be sharp. Enter an 8MP camera sensor – the same BSI unit currently found on the iPhone 4S. Job done.
iPad HD – button begone?
The rumour that Apple would remove the home button from its iPad was around during the iPad 2 build-up. Guess what? It's back for the iPad 3. But we think it'll also prove fruitless this time around. The iPad HD will have a home button. Probably.
iPad HD – iOS 5.1
We'd expect an OS bump for Apple's new hardware, though again we feel it'll hold back the upgrade to iOS 6 until the next iPhone launches. That's why the iPad HD release will also mark the arrival of Apple's next iOS version – iOS 5.1.
iPad 3 – Siri
Yup – Apple's voice assistant, Siri, will come to the iPad HD. We're 99 per cent on that.
iPad 3 – a lot like the iPad 2
The iPad HD (or iPad 3) will be remarkably similar to the iPad 2 in many ways. It'll still have a 30-pin dock connector (no Thunderbolt, we're afraid), a similar build (though possibly a tiny bit fatter) and 3G or Wi-Fi options (not 4G LTE, yet). And yes, there'll still be Smart Covers.
iPad 3 – UK release date and price
We're thinking Apple will start shipping the iPad 3 almost immediately in the US, with Stores starting to sell the device around March 16. Other major countries (including the UK) will get the iPad HD release towards the end of March, at the same price as the iPad 2 is now: starting from £400.

Las Vegas, new and renewed
Published Dec. 21, 2010
OnMilwaukee.com Publisher Andy Tarnoff has visited Sin City enough times now that he can safely skip the pirate shows and the roller coasters and the over-sized hurricane glasses you see the rookies sipping from as they stumble around the Strip. Now, he's searching for something new ... and on last weekend's trip, he found it. Here's a travelogue of the experience.

Esthetician or Aesthetician? Pt. 3
This week we learned about extractions. I'm sure a lot of you know this, but I thought I'd just reiterate it. People always say don't pop your zits, you'll just make it worse. And they're right, to an extent. You can pop zits, black heads only, and only when they're ready. DON'T pop the ones that are under the skin and hurt. I know they drive you crazy, but don't do it. Wanna know why? Remember this:
If it's not exploding out, it's imploding in!
That means that all the junk you're trying to get out of your face is just spreading to the inside. Nasty and not fun. You can pop black heads. Simply pull the skin tight and then push firmly from the sides. (pull out, then push in)
Another thing about zits is that oil does not cause zits. Bacteria causes zits. (people with dry skin get acne too!) So if your hands are dirty- don't touch your face! If you just put lotion on- don't touch your face! Hormones also cause zits. If you are having breakouts on your chin and around your mouth- it's hormonal. (pregnancy, PMS, etc) Dirty makeup brushes can cause acne, wash them at least weekly. Also, diet can affect your acne. Obviously.
They can't shrink. Sorry. But you CAN minimize the appearance of pores. That usually takes an esthetician, but it can be done. Oil is what makes your pores appear large. Hence why those with oily skin always think they have such larger pores. It's because the oil is expanding them. But with the help of an esthetician they can, over time, reduce the oil produced which in turn, minimizes the appearance of pores. :)
Healing Time-
Did you know that babies get a new top layer of skin every 14 days? That's why they have such perfect skin and it heals quickly. For those in their teens and twenties it takes 21- 28 days and for those 30 and up it takes 28-40 (probably more as you get closer to age 60). Take care of your skin!
Cellulite is not a fat disorder. It is a skin disorder. Crazy huh?? That's why even skinny people get it. They are created from toxins (all you soda pop drinkers...). It's not proven, but high frequency treatment has been known to reduce cellulite. I'm not saying go do it, but you can try it. :)
Did you know that rubbing your belly COUNTER clockwise can mess with your digestive system?? Crazy , right?! I think it has to be pretty firm rubbing, but still! Maybe you could even try rubbing it clockwise to improve digestion?? Try it! (that last part is totally my own thought. Don't go saying it's proven or anything.)
I hope you learned something new and that I got everything right. haha! I have my books and notes sitting right here, so it should be. But if not, feel free to kindly let me know. :)
Happy Friday! And remember to wear lots of sunscreen!!!
(Yes, even though it's winter. Yes, even though it's cloudy. Yes, even though your covered in clothing head to toe!)

This was great! I have a terrible habit of picking at stuff, but now that I know that if it's not coming out, it's going further in, I will definitely give it a second thought!
The cellulite thing bums me out. I'm a pretty clean eater, so it doesn't give me much hope that it will ever be gone. Sigh...

My biggest issue about me is my acne. If I have a bad acne day I just feel so unpretty. But these tips are very helpful!!
I didn't know about the placement of pimples in relation to it being hormonal!
How often do you think it's best to get a facial? I had one on vacation in oct, and I was thinking to get another. My pores drive me nuts. Lol
And yes! My massage therapist gives belly massages and she said always massage clockwise for better digestion :-)

Danny Bonaduce
Name at birth: Dante Daniel Bonaduce
He started in show business at the age of four, but it was his role as red-haired, smart-aleck Danny Partridge in TV's The Partridge Family (1970-74, starring Shirley Jones) that made Danny Bonaduce a star at the age of 10. The luster of stardom wore off in the 1980s and Bonaduce became famous for his tabloid-ready lifestyle, including widely reported substance abuse and a notorious 1991 incident in which he beat up a transvestite. Even the marriage that he credits with setting him straight was tabloid fodder: Bonaduce and his wife, Gretchen, married seven hours after first meeting each other in 1990. Later in that decade Bonaduce found a new career in radio, and he hosted shows in Chicago, Detroit and New York before landing a gig on KYSR in Los Angeles as the co-host of "The Jamie and Danny Show." A semi-reformed bad boy, Bonaduce became a family man and a regular member of the syndicated talk show The Other Half (with Dick Clark). Known for embracing and exploiting his peculiar brand of celebrity, he released an autobiography, Random Acts of Badness (2001) and appeared on Fox TV's Celebrity Boxing, duking it out with Barry Williams (former cast member of television's The Brady Bunch). Since then Bonaduce has been a repeat offender in the world of reality television.
After The Partridge Family ended, Bonaduce reprised the voice role of Danny for a season of the futuristic animated series The Partridge Family, 2200 A.D. on ABC… His 2005 cable TV reality show, Breaking Bonaduce, was notorious for Bonaduce's off-camera suicide attempt.

Simona Fusco, so, uh, wow, you just pull em out like that often?
Simona Fusco Stratten apparently decided to air off her boobs while vacationing in Hawaii. Clearly those things were burning up because, damn, I'm sorry Kim Kardashian lovers, but there is all kinds of things right with this woman. And not because Simona flashed her jubilees like the sea water is the antidote. Which pretty much makes her a shining beacon of inspiration. I mean, Jesus is sitting in heaven right now going "And, fuck, I just got served. Way to be, JC."
Big thanks to Roy who saw boobs and knew to contact a real expert. Then eventually me when that guy didn't get back to him.

Time to interfere / Stop ignoring rights in China (NEW YORK POST OP-ED) By JOHN BOLTON 05/01/12)
Source: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/time_to_interfere_1HQuDNeabBtLLZ4bDBIvNJ
NEW YORK POST Articles-Index-Top
As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton heads to China this week for yearly strategic consultations, a daring bid for political asylum has highlighted the seething dissent beneath Chinas surface stability.
The dramatic news that dissident Chen Guangcheng escaped from house arrest and traveled clandestinely to seek refuge in Americas Beijing embassy is still rocking China. Chens journey captured worldwide media attention; his fate could have profound implications for Chinas future domestically and for Sino-American affairs, this centurys most important bilateral relationship.
Chen opposes Chinas notorious one child per family policy; he infuriated the countrys rulers by filing class actions on behalf of women involuntarily sterilized or forced to have abortions under the one child strictures.
President Obamas response to Chen will set a tone in US-Chinese relations that could reverberate for years.
To date, his administrations indifference to Beijings oppressive policies, as well as to (among other things) Chinas implicit support for North Korean and Iranian nuclear proliferation, has simply encouraged Beijings belief that Washington would allow it a free hand.
In February 2009, on her first visit to China as secretary, Clinton was dismissive about Tibet, religious freedom and other human-rights issues: We know what they are going to say, because Ive had those kinds of conversations for more than a decade with Chinese leaders. We have to continue to press them. But our pressing on those issues cant interfere with the global economic crisis, the global climate- change crisis and the security crisis.
The Washington Post described her as affect[ing] a world-weary air; Clinton herself said she was merely stating the obvious. Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi responded that China was willing to discuss human rights on the premise of mutual respect and noninterference in each others internal affairs.
Noninterference will be essentially impossible for America if Chen formally applies for political asylum while inside our Beijing compound.
The cold, hard, inconvenient truth in international affairs is that human rights at times will be traded off for higher national interests. However unattractive it is to acknowledge that reality, it is certainly far better than simply giving the issue away, as Clinton did in 2009.
Meanwhile, the other big China story of recent months is challenging the received wisdom in US governmental and business circles that China is experiencing a peaceful rise, becoming a responsible stakeholder internationally. The apparent purge of Bo Xilai, former Communist Party supremo in Chongqing, also demonstrates major fault lines in Chinas political structures.
This bizarre tale has already included Bos local police chief fleeing to the US consulate before being released into the custody of Beijing authorities and allegations of Bos wifes involvement in murdering a British businessman.
Some characterize Bo as a Maoist throwback maneuvering unsuccessfully against the reformers now dominating the partys higher ranks. Others see the affair as a classic power struggle among personally ambitious Communist leaders, with less ideological significance. Either way, Bos real crime, in the regimes eyes, was plainly his seeking of popular support outside the existing leadership structures.
However this ongoing intraparty contest turns out, the undeniable open warfare underlines that Chinas internal political direction is far less certain than the apostles of peaceful rise would have us believe.
Indeed, the last several decades of our feckless acquiescence to Beijings growing economic clout have made the situation worse. Fears among US business and political elites that standing up for US interests would only rile China and worsen relations to our detriment have simply empowered the most aggressive and authoritarian instincts of an already aggressive and authoritarian Communist and military leadership.
Chens asylum case will almost certainly affect the outcome of the political struggles exemplified by Bo Xilais fall.
While America may be unable to exert a decisive influence either on Chinas future domestic affairs or its external behavior, we should not be ambiguous here. We should grant Chen asylum, insist that his family in China be protected, speak out against the one child policy and much, much more.
America must not be a well-bred doormat on Chens asylum request or on any other bilateral issue with China. John Bolton is a former US ambassador to the United Nations. (Copyright 2012 NYP Holdings, Inc. 05/01/12)

FTS Selects Charles Self as Deputy Commissioner and Robert Suda as Assistant Commissioner of ITI
March 29, 2000
Contact: Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC - The Federal Technology Service of the U.S. General Services Administration has announced that Charles Self will become its new deputy commissioner and Robert Suda, the current chief financial officer and acting chief information officer, will replace Self as assistant commissioner of its Office of Information Technology Integration. Both appointments are effective April 2, 2000.
In making the announcement, newly appointed FTS commissioner Sandra Bates said, "Charles Self has served FTS well as assistant commissioner for IT Integration and the national leader of our IT Solutions business line. He has proven abilities in producing business results, is highly committed to our customers, and has built an excellent relationship with our industry partners. We will make an excellent team, and I look forward to working with him as my deputy."
As the deputy commissioner, Self will serve as the chief operating officer for FTS responsible for all day-to-day management and operations. "I will make the integration of the FTS business lines a top priority and I look forward to the unique challenges presented by the telecommunications industry," Self said.
Since June 1997, under Self's leadership, the FTS IT Solutions business line has provided more than $3 billion per year of nationwide technical and contractual assistance to federal agencies in all areas related to the acquisition, integration, development, management, and use of information systems and technology. The IT Solutions business line is comprised of three nationwide programs: the Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM), the Federal Computer Acquisition Center (FEDCAC), and the Federal Acquisition Services for Technology (FAST) program, and eleven regional client support centers. Self directed the development of new business lines such as Seat Management, Smart Card, Financial Management Systems Services, and Fed Learn and was instrumental in the award of numerous multiple award contracts including ANSWER and Millennia.
Suda has been the FTS CFO since January 1998. He started with GSA in 1977 as an intern in the agency's National Capitol Region. Since then, he has held numerous positions in the financial community in both the regional and headquarters offices. Prior to joining FTS, he was Director of Finance for GSA.
Bates commended Suda's private and public sector financial experience and said, "Bob's excellent reputation in the financial community, and his ever expanding capacity to take on new work, position him well to build and strengthen the IT Solutions business line. Bob has established excellent relationships with the FTS regions, with other GSA business units, and with our agency customers. Bob's leadership will only add to the success of our Office of IT Integration."
"I am truly excited about this opportunity," Suda said. He confessed that having spent the last 23 years of his federal career in the financial community, he now would be the old clich� of a recovering 'bean counter.' "My goal is to build on the past successes of the business and to grow it responsibly," he said. "We have numerous opportunities to look at new product lines and enhance existing ones providing our customers with the best solutions to meet the needs of their agency missions."
FTS has also selected Mike Norris as acting CFO and Mike McNeill as acting CIO.
FTS provides telecommunications services and information technology solutions for its federal customers. Each year, FTS provides more than $4.3 billion in products and services through a wide variety of products, services and solutions. It provides telecommunications such as global voice, data and video. It provides information technology solutions that range from major systems integration to desktops and related support. FTS also provides advanced technology products and services including risk analysis and information security support, acquisition services for IT and telecommunications systems, and office automation and network design.

— The potential for skin damage from the sun should have you hiding under a hat or slathering on the SPF, but that doesn't mean you can't look luminous. If a tan is your must-have accessory for summer, the solutions for getting a faux glow are becoming easier and more innovative by the day. TODAY style editor and Bobbie.com's Bobbie Thomas shares her secrets for achieving the perfect beach-babe look:
Prep like a pro
It's important to exfoliate in the shower using textured scrub gloves or nylon polishing towels to remove any dead skin. Whether you go to a booth or grab a tan-in-the-can, slip on a shower cap and use a cotton swab to apply petroleum jelly to your cuticles and nail beds before a spray session. Also be sure to have your hands, feet, knees, elbows and any dry skin patches completely moisturized, leaving excess lotion on the palms of your hands to help offer a barrier — just be sure to blend the edges and inside the wrists to achieve a natural-looking fade line. And finally, Sticky Sandals are topless, strap-free sandals that literally stick to your soles. Use them to avoid getting self-tanner on the bottoms of your feet ($2-$12; stickysandals.com). You could also DIY a pair in a pinch by using double-stick tape and paper plates.
Sunless solutions
When it comes to applying product, there are a number of different options. Gradual tanners are not only great for beginners, but anyone who wants to maintain a tan. Drugstore brands like Jergens ($8.99; Target stores) and Olay ($7-$19; drugstore.com) are meant to be applied daily or intermittently, offering you more control. Full-strength compounds will offer a dramatic difference, but need downtime to fade before you reapply; otherwise you risk patchy, uneven results. And for streak-free strokes, consider some of the alternative applications on the market. Dr. Denese's Glow Younger Gloves ($42 for 12; drdenese.com) and Comodynes Self-Tanning Body Gloves ($36.75 for 4; shopnbc.com) will help you wipe on and blend with the bonus of being a travel-friendly tanning option too. Modelco's new Sunsponge promises to buff and adjust to your individual skin tone for custom color ($39; modelco.com.au), while Au Courant's sponge on a stick helps you apply the brand's Sunless Tanning Mousse in the hardest-to-reach spots ($1.49 per stick, $30 for the mousse; aucourant.com).
And even guys can get in on the action without dipping into female territory thanks to products like Anthony Logistics For Men Self Tanner with Anti-Aging Complex ($30; Anthony.com), Jean Paul Gaultier's Self-Tanning Gel ($29; sephora.com) and Kiehl's new Facial Fuel Healthy Bronze ($22.50, Kiehls.com).
Radiant results
For those who prefer to avoid DHA, the active tanning agent found in sunless solutions, these products will enhance your natural color temporarily. Cake's new Hi-light and Glow-rious body lotions will give you a glisten with micronized gold and pink particles, and Shiseido's Sun Protection Stick Foundation ($26; sephora.com) and Chantecaille's Protection Naturelle Powder both provide SPF and complexion control ($65; chantecaille.com). If you're looking to bronze your body and face, cult-favorite makeup brands MAC and NARS have classic products that will help you shine all over! Makeup artists love to add a little of MAC's Face and Body foundation to lotion to give legs a smooth look ($32, Maccosmetics.com), while NARS' Body Glow and new Orgasm Illuminator hydrate while giving you a subtle sheen ($29-$59; narscosmetics.com).
Faux glow fixes
Keep in mind, nothing is permanent, and there are ways to soften the blow of a bad faux glow. St. Tropez's Tan Optimizer Detox Bath helps you remove unwanted tan buildup ($35, Sttropeztan.com). You could also try soaking in a bath with some baking soda, and sometimes a lemon wedge can help lighten a dark line. Body-hair bleach can help with excess color on your cuticles or nails and callused skin on your toes. And while self-tanning has plenty of positives, the harsh reality is the chemical reaction that leaves behind an unpleasant smell is also the one responsible for color change. You can help eliminate the odor by using California Tan's Neutralizer in soft vanilla ($16.59; amazon.com) or by applying your own essential oils like peppermint, eucalyptus or menthol, either to your product or in a spray bottle with some water to use as a refresher after showering. And finally, for the best way to buff away too much tan, try using a dry brush, like Tampico's Dry Skin Brush ($14.22; amazon.com), in a circular motion before stepping into the shower.

Rated 3 out of 5 by CJCR from Pretty, but not durable I completely agree with the other comments about these mats. I ordered them, along with the Marseille kitchen linens, when we renovated our kitchen. They looked beautiful with the French country decor, but the layers started separating after only a year. I hadn't expected them to last as long as my professional quality gel mats, but surely more than a year!Date published: 2015-02-09Rated 5 out of 5 by LAStyleSetter from Functionally beautiful I pulled this out of the box today and am so pleased with it, I couldn't wait to write a review. I purchased it to help with leg strain while cooking and prepping food and wasn't sure it would be thick enough from the description. It's 1/4" thick and has already felt better under-foot for even quick tasks. The color is beautiful & is as-shown online and looks great against my semi-light floors. There is a rubber-y smell when it's opened that eventually dissipates with fresh air. Should the decorative layer wear out as was stated in another review, I will be more than happy to purchase another. It's not forever. It's for as long as I can enjoy it. Buy it.Date published: 2014-10-30Rated 3 out of 5 by AmyMom from great mat, short life I have been very pleased with this mat and its comfort underfoot in my kitchen. It is perfect for in front of the sink not only for comfort but also catching water. Unfortunately the decoration layer began to peel away after only about a year and a half. If it had a longer attractive life I would give it 5 stars.Date published: 2013-10-11Rated 4 out of 5 by ccook from Very pretty, but wears out quickly I have purchased 4 of these mats over the last two years. In about a year, the edges of the mat started to unravel and disintegrate. I purchased replacements knowing this because the look is perfect for my kitchen.Date published: 2013-06-16

David Smith, chairman and founder of Recap Real Estate Advisors, is one of the foremost affordable multifamily-housing specialists in the United States. His firm has helped recapitalize and preserve more than 133,000 apartments (over 905 properties) since its founding 20 years ago. Smith also is the founder of the Affordable Housing Institute, a global nonprofit that provides financial guidance to low-income housing NGOs. "You need to convert good ecology into good economy," says Smith, who sees "green capital" as the foundation for affordable housing's future.
In the rapidly urbanizing 21st century, we have three sub-ecosystems that are increasingly interdependent: the physical ecosystem, the political ecosystem, and the economic ecosystem. Bad economics lead to bad ecologies.
In my field, affordable housing, slums are "economically rational," and people once thought they were the poor's own fault. Starting about 150 years ago, we realized that slums are a byproduct of urbanization and that they're bad for everybody, not just the poor. Today, we have to change that. As the planet supports more human beings, more will live in cities, and cities are social and technological constructs. They certainly can be better than they are now, and they also can be worse.
Architects need to start embracing their inner left-brain, the heartless money side. What gets built is not what gets designed but what gets financed. So if you want green for the ecology, translate that into green for the economics. What wins with those parties is not your demonstration of cutting-edge technology, but how much more it costs to be green. The "green capital needs assessment," a financial analytical product we invented at Recap's subsidiary On-site Insight, makes it possible for architects to design the economically optimal combination of green improvements, and talk design in terms translated into underwriting lingo.
In my work at the Affordable Housing Institute, the $300 House contest asks: Could you develop a livable small house with an overall build cost of $300? Why that price? Because that's what a billion really poor people can afford to pay. Now, $300 is hard—and that's the point—but if we can get close, say under $1,000 a house, even that changes the economic ecosystem. Mix found or low-cost indigenous materials, plus low-tech local labor, plus the right nifty developed-world gadgets, and you have an improvable core house. It makes you think about how to create a global hybrid value chain that delivers small modules at small unit costs.
An interconnected planet with massive amounts of poor people is unsustainable. The only way for the planet to succeed is to make more people "rich." It all starts with a house.—As told to William Richards.aia

Ten steps to working and living in Finland, Finnish business culture and taxation in a nutt shell.
Ten steps to working and living in Finland
1. Find out about jobs on offer and the requirements for them. Visit the websites of the Centres for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment , the European Employment Services network and the Employment and Economic Development Office, for example. Firms specialising in job recruitment can be found on the Internet, and Finnish newspapers and their websites have job advertisements, though these are mostly in Finnish (see Oikotie or Uratie).
2. Find out about visa requirements and travel documents accepted by Finland (by country) on the Formin website. Find out what permits you will need to live and work in Finland from the Finnish Immigration Service website.
3. Do you need recognition for your educational qualifications? Ask for an application at recognition(at)oph.fi (National Board of Education). For the healthcare sector, applications should be addressed to the National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health.
4. To find a place to live and to open a bank account, go first to your employer, who will be able to guide you to the local services. Regarding integration and language matters, children's schooling, healthcare and social security, turn to the local authorities in your new home municipality. Every Finnish municipality has its own website, so start by looking at the general municipal website. Social security is managed by the Social Insurance Institution (Kela). Information about pensions can be found at the Central Pension Security Institute.
5. What should you bring and what are you allowed to bring with you into Finland? See the Finnish Customs website.
6. Anyone staying in Finland for at least a year must register with the Finnish population data system. See the Local Register Offices' website. You can also find relevant information on the Population Register Centre's website.
7. Is your driving licence valid in Finland? Ask the police or the Finnish Transport Safety Agency for information.
8. Does an immigrant have to pay tax, and how is that done? Read the taxation section and find out more from the tax administration website.
9. Will you need further vocational training or courses in Finnish? Study the options at the education portal.
10. What is life like in Finland? thisisFINLAND offers some basic information, but you might also try www.suomi.fi or www.infopankki.fi (the latter appears in 15 languages).
The national helpline ('Työlinja') of the employment offices provides personal advice about work-related permits, jobs and labour market training. The service is available in Finnish, Swedish and English, tel: +358 10 19 4904 (from Finland 010 19 4904), email: email@example.com
Originally published in thisisFINLAND.
Prior appointments are necessary for all business. Government visits can be made by letter, fax, email or preferably by phone. A characteristic of Finnish telephone etiquette is giving your full name when calling.
When introducing themselves, Finns state their first name and last name as they shake hands. Visitors should follow suit.
Meetings are usually to the point and begin on time with little small talk. Meetings often follow a pre-set agenda and are orderly with one person speaking at a time. People are well prepared for meetings and negotiations. The Finnish idea of team working is that of a group of capable individuals being given the opportunity to complete well-defined tasks which, when put together, will enable the team to reach its goals. Each team member works conscientiously at their allotted tasks.
People are expected to contribute to a meeting or conversation only when they have something of importance to say. Being silent in Finland means being polite and interested in what the speaker is saying. Silence is part of the overall communication pattern and Finns are more comfortable with silence than most other nationalities. In presentations, Finns prefer modesty rather than sales talk.
More and more younger people of both sexes hold executive positions and the number of women in managerial positions is growing. Women and men are treated as equals in the workplace.
A wide variety of styles and levels of formality can be observed when it comes to dress codes.
Business meals are usually held over lunch and it is not considered bad manners to discuss business related issues over the meal. It is unusual for alcohol to be taken with lunch. Over dinner, alcohol can be served. Conversation is varied and tends to concentrate more on other issues than business at hand. Sports, weather, travelling and hobbies are common topics for discussion.
In Finland, all income is taxable. The Tax Office supplies tax cards, which must be presented to employers as soon as an individual starts in a new job. Without a tax card, all income will be taxed at 60 per cent.
The tax card will have a tax percentage written on it. The tax percentage depends on your income level.
If an individual does other work in addition to their primary employment, a tax card for additional income must be obtained, and must also be immediately disclosed to the employer. A tax return must always be filed.

"Nancy Dwyer: Paintings & Sculpture, 1982-2012"
Perhaps because she was part of a cohort of artists who came to New York via Buffalo in the 1970s—a group that included Cindy Sherman and Robert Longo—Nancy Dwyer is generally associated with the Pictures Generation. But while her early works were based on image appropriation, her strategy evolved into a text-based one, in which words or phrases were punned upon visually in a series of paintings and sculptures (naps, for instance, spelled out in soft pillowy cushions forming a kind of couch). Since moving upstate in the 1990s, Dwyer has been out of the art-world limelight; this survey should reacquaint viewers with her semantic ironies.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Once again, it's all about the all-gay all-the-time Uptown Players. With this summer's sold-out run of Del Shores' Southern Baptist Sissies, this theater group earned enough money (and a little more) to pay off its debts and fund the rest of its season. That's how strong the following has become for this troupe, whose mission is to do theater that reflects "contemporary and alternative lifestyle themes." Attracting the top actors and directors in town, Uptown has such a good reputation that out-of-town playwrights often fly in to see productions of their plays--and end up telling Uptown producers Jeff Rane and Craig Lynch that their little company has outdone the New York or L.A. versions. Andrew Lippa came in to check out The Wild Party. Playwright Shores was so impressed with their staging of Sissies that he promptly hired one of the actors, Emerson Collins, to take over a main role in the Los Angeles revival in 2006. Founded in 2001, Uptown Players get more ambitious every season.

Is there no infantile icon that adults can't infuse with a brooding sense of horror? Clowns were kind of freaky to begin with, dolls will never recover from Chucky and every amusement park that Scooby Doo ever came across was abandoned and haunted. But teddy bears? How do you mess with fuzzy, cuddly teddy bears? By making a giant, 10-ton mega-teddy out of cold, immutable granite, that's how. And let's throw in some companions in attitudes of carefree play but wearing that same inscrutable, stony glare that says, "I'd crush you and everyone you love if I had the chance to fall on you." Sure, the workmanship is stunning. Sure, the surroundings are lush and green. But just try and walk past without looking over your shoulder. Hey, wasn't his arm at his side a second ago?
Grandpa ran every Saturday at the lake? Grandmother fed the ducks? Now you can recognize loved ones or honor special occasions by donating money for the Celebration Tree Grove at White Rock Lake, recently approved by the city of Dallas and the White Rock Lake Task Force. Donations to an endowment fund established by For the Love of the Lake will go to plant native trees, starting with some large trees that will give the area a special, secluded feeling. Eventually the grove will include walking paths and a courtyard with benches. For a donation of $1,000 or more, a plaque with Granddad's name will be mounted on a commemorative structure built in the style of the lake's Civilian Conservation Corps-style rock buildings and walls. Don't stop at recognizing your human relations. Your black lab loved the lake, too. For $1,000, you get the plaque and someone else's beloved companion gets more trees to sniff.
Ever since most of us on staff caved in and bought iPods, we haven't bothered with local radio stations to get our music fix, and in the past year, the corporate-owned frequencies haven't done much to change our minds. But that doesn't mean our antennae go unused. Rather, we keep the radio tuned to The Ticket on 1310 AM. And we're definitely not alone. It seems like everyone around town talks about the sports talk shows that run throughout the day, even women and non-sports fans. The biggest reason for the wide appeal has to be drive-time show The Hardline, where Mike, Greggo, Danny and Snake (yes, just "Snake") spend more time on topics like Six Feet Under, tomboys, local music and "jarring" than sports, even though their sports commentary is second to none. Still, the 7 p.m. rundown of the station's best segments from the previous day is proof that the entire Ticket schedule is getting it right, whether by delivering the most incisive sports talk in town or by playing games of "Gay, Not Gay." Once you become a P1, you won't switch your radio back to music stations, either.
The nonprofit Writer's Garret has as its stated mission the education and development of readers, writers and audiences. It stages writing workshops, panel discussions, peer critiques, contests and movie screenings. But the organization's two-year-old Writer's Studio Series, hosted by KERA at Theatre Three, takes the top prize. This year, the series brought best-selling literary stars Margaret Drabble, James Ellroy, Umberto Eco and Walter Mosley to Sunday night readings. KERA radio host Glenn Mitchell interviewed each author, who then read from one of his or her books and answered questions from the audience. Each two-hour session was taped and later played on NPR affiliates. The programs are fascinating, unpredictable and sometimes infuriating, as when politically incorrect and always controversial Ellroy told the audience that John F. Kennedy "got what he deserved." Authors scheduled this fall include Bret Easton Ellis (his new one is Lunar Park), Joan Didion (The Year of Magical Thinking) and Scott Turow. With all the lawyers who want to be writers in town, better get your ticket early for Turow, attorney and author of Presumed Innocent and other novels.
White Rock Lake offers more than bike and running paths. For years, the Bath House Cultural Center on the eastern shore of the lake has been a little powerhouse of art, theater, history and music. Built in 1930, the art deco building is tiny but boasts a 120-seat theater, two galleries, a darkroom and other spaces for activities including yoga classes, jazz concerts and dance workshops. It also houses a small but fascinating museum about the creation and history of the lake. (Did you know people could swim in White Rock until 1953? It was closed to bathers due to "drought, polio and racial tensions.") The galleries showcase regional artists, often those who live and work in the lake area.

IRWINDALE - Charles Meier fell in love with the Rose Parade when he was 10 years old, and at 13, he became the youngest float designer in the history of the Tournament of Roses.
Twenty years later, Meier is making parade history again with his newly founded float company Paradiso Parade Floats, the first new professional float company to enter the parade in at least a decade.
"In the 1988 parade and I was nine years old and I went to the parade and I just fell in love with it, and I started drawing floats that day," Meier said. "I think when you fall in love with something as a kid, it gets in you in a certain way."
Meier, who has a degree in Shakespeare, founded the company late last year with former Charisma Floats' owners Katie and Matthew Rodriguez after 25-year-old Charisma went out of business because of money issues.
Meier has entered 10 floats in the parade since his first for South Pasadena in 1992, which was titled "Starstruck" and featured two aliens playing tug-of-war with a spaceship and Meier dressed as an astronaut.
He has designed many of Sierra Madre's floats as a volunteer and worked for other professional float companies in the past, but said he has always hoped to open his own.
Though the new company will incorporate both Meier's and the Rodriguezes' wealth of float experience, Meier said he sees Paradiso as something completely new to the parade.
"We feel like the parade is ready for a fresh face and that's us," he said. "When San Gabriel came along it was just a wonderful beginning."
Paradiso's entry into the Rose Parade will also be San Gabriel's centennial float, its first time in the parade in more than 40 years.
The float, will feature the historic Grapevine arbor and a bell representing the historic El Camino Real, with two oxen pulling a cart of grapes heading to the wine press. The oxen nod their heads as the wheels of the cart turn.
It will incorporate 15,000 fresh roses, along with protea, oncidium orchids, amaryllis, gerbera daisies, rolled oats and cinnamon.
San Gabriel Mayor Kevin Sawkins said when the city decided to get back into the parade, Meier's company seemed like the perfect fit.
"We had already made a decision to go with another builder, but when we heard about Paradiso and we were so impressed with Charlie that we decided to change our recommendation," Sawkins said.
He added that Meier's attention to detail and customer service led to the city's choice, as well as Meier's connection to San Gabriel, where Meier went to elementary school.
Tournament of Roses Executive Director Bill Flinn said the float building industry is so unique that new companies are relatively rare, though some of the main companies have changed names and ownership over the years.
But in general, he said, a few major companies, including Fiesta Parade Floats and Phoenix Decorating Company have dominated the parade for decades and have become well-entrenched.
"It's not the kind of industry that you would be expecting new people to start companies, it's a pretty specialized business," Flinn said. "There's only a limited amount of business, there's only so many floats in the Rose Parade, it's not like you can just keep building and building floats."
Meier said he hopes this year is only the beginning for Paradiso, and the company can eventually become one of the longstanding companies that define the parade.

Amazing ingenious pillow!
By Elena
from Palm Desert, CA
I am a female who purchased this head pillow to wear to block out the flickering light and sound from my husband's watching television in the middle of the night. THIS HEAD PILLOW WORKS! Not only that, but this pillow is extraordinarily soft and comfortable and no matter how I turn in bed, the pillow adjusts to MY position. I do not have to adjust the pillow. This is the most comfortable pillow I have ever had. It is cool, breathes, and is so soft and comfy. I would like to know who invented this strange pillow - it is truly a wonderful creation.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Gets the job done in a fun, attention-grabbing way.
By Breezy
from Boston, MA
Bought this for my fiancé as a joke for christmas and was surprised when he actually used it during our flight to LA a few days later (he is very macho guy who doesn't like things that look weird)! We both tried it and enjoyed napping with it after initial hesitation about our appearance. The flight attendants loved it and asked us where we got it. It wasn't too tight or restrictive, although takes a little adjusting to block out the light entirely. The nice thing about the pillow is that even if you don't want to put it on your head, you can also easily use it as a regular travel pillow and it works just as well. Overall a multi-functional, more upscale version of regular travel pillow, but the price is probably not worth it for the average consumer.
By Roz
from Rhode Island
I purchased this as a present for my Son. He travels a lot. He also enjoys power naps. This product is unbelievable. He falls asleep as soon as he puts it on. I do laugh seeing him in it..looks a like an alien. However, the results certainly out way the aesthetic.
Best gift I have ever given
By MC
from Baton Rouge, LA
Bought this as a gift and it was loved by my friend. He mentioned how he loves his head to be swaddled while he sleeps and this pillow was perfect for it. However, it can get hot in warmer weather.
more comfortable than it looks
By jody
from maryland
I bought this for an overseas trip and loved how comfortable it was, but the nose and mouth opening was just too small for me. I don't like having my face covered when sleeping, just a quirk of mine. If not for that, I would have given it 5 stars for comfort.

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer
OLYMPIA — Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee began his tenure in Olympia on Wednesday with promises to bring "disruptive change" to the running of state government and an unremitting focus on creating jobs throughout Washington.
"Make no mistake: Our top priority today, tomorrow, and every single day for the next four years, is jobs," he said in his inaugural address.
"The world will not wait for us. We face fierce and immediate global competition for the jobs of tomorrow," he said. "Leading this next wave of growth is our opportunity, not our entitlement."
Inslee did not announce any major policy initiatives in his speech to a joint session of the Legislature. He did stake out positions on climate changes and women's rights in conflict with many Republicans, including those influencing the direction of the majority coalition in the Senate.
Inslee insisted that expanding Washington's clean energy sector will spur job growth and provide an antidote to the ravages of climate change.
"As a parent and grandparent, I cannot consciously accept the dangers of climate change for my family or yours," he said. "As a governor, I can't afford to look the other way or point fingers or deny these realities, and I cannot allow our state to miss this moment that is our destiny to lead the world in clean energy."
He said the "scientific controversy" on climate change is settled. "What remains is how we respond to the challenge," he said.
But GOP members are unconvinced the clean energy industry is where most new jobs will be found. And when it comes to the matter of climate change, it's far from settled with them.
Rep. Elizabeth Scott, R-Monroe, said she "cringed" at his comments.
"If it is settled how come half the Legislature was stone-faced," she said. "There are hundreds of scientists with Ph.D.s who disagree with his conclusions."
Inslee received his loudest applause from Democrats when he said he would sign the Reproductive Parity Act to require health plans that cover maternity services to also cover abortions.
"Washington women need the freedom and privacy to make the health care decisions that are best for themselves and their families," he said. "Let's get this done."
The bill died in a swirl of politics last session. Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens, and Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, re-introduced the bill this week though it's uncertain if Litzow's coalition will let it advance.
House Republicans and the leader of the Senate Majority Coalition, Sen. Rodney Tom, D-Medina, have repeatedly stressed fiscal matters and not social issues, such as the Reproductive Parity Act are the focus of the session.
Sen. Nick Harper, D-Everett, praised Inslee for making his position clear.
"That sets the stage for what I hope we will see out of this administration — leadership and courage," he said.
Republican lawmakers did laud Inslee for saying his top priorities will be jobs and retooling the operations of state agencies.
"Where I agree strongly agree with the governor is the need for fundamental reform of government and to focus on the services they provide to make sure our businesses are dealt with efficiently, effectively and respectfully," said Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton.
Inslee, 61, became the state's 23rd governor shortly at 10:42 a.m. Wednesday when, in a break from tradition, he took the oath of office in the rotunda of the Capitol as hundreds of people looked on. Governors are typically sworn in with the rest of the statewide office holders in front of the Legislature.
"There's a new governor in town," Inslee declared minutes later when he and his wife, Trudi, entered the lobby of the office that will be his for the next four years. They were there to meet with now former governor, Chris Gregoire.
Following that sitdown, Inslee delivered the inaugural address to the Legislature. In mid-afternoon he and invited friends played basketball at the governor's mansion, using a new hoop he had installed on the garage. He returned to the Capitol last evening for the Inaugural Ball.
The Bainbridge Island resident who lost a 1996 bid for governor, served eight terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, the last seven in the 1st District which included south Snohomish County.
He enters office facing a divided government as Democrats hold a majority in the House while the Senate is guided by the coalition of 23 Republicans and two Democrats.
Topping the list of challenges for him is erasing a projected $900 million deficit in the next state budget.
And there is the task of complying with a Supreme Court order to increase state aid to public schools.
In his speech, he gave no indication he's open to new taxes or fees or keeping some temporary taxes in place as a source of money — though Democrats in the House and Senate are pushing such ideas.
Inslee said a commitment to education should be honored "through systemic, sustainable reform of our schools."
On gun violence, Inslee cited the slayings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., in pledging to tackle the vexing problem in Washington.
"Any failure to address the issue of violence in our communities and our schools will be intolerable," he said.
He suggested a "common-sense solution" lies in doing a better job treating those with mental illness and keeping guns out of the wrong hands "while respecting the right of my son to hunt and my uncle to defend his home."
As he did on the campaign trail, Inslee endorsed drafting a broad transportation plan. He said it should recognize "creativity is as important as concrete" and deal not only with roads but also trains, light rail, buses, bike and pedestrian routes and other nontraditional modes.
Inslee's full remarks as prepared can be found online at www.governor.wa.gov.

How do I sign up to sell my content on the iTunes Store?
To sign up to sell your content on the iTunes Store, complete the application.
What is the difference between aggregators and encoding houses?
Aggregators are experts in delivering audio content to iTunes. For a nominal charge, they can format and deliver your content to Apple's specifications, ensuring that it uploads correctly the first time. They can also provide you with UPCs and ISRCs and distribute your music across multiple channels. Apple pays the aggregator for sales, and the aggregator then pays the content owner.
If you want to deliver music videos or concert films, an encoding house can format and deliver your video content directly to your account on your behalf. Payments for content delivered by encoding houses are made from Apple to the content owner.
Should I sign up directly with Apple or go through an aggregator?
If you meet all requirements, you can sign up to sell your music by working directly with Apple. However, if you don't meet the requirements, are not sure how to create digital versions of your titles, or have other operational or financial needs, it may be best to work with an aggregator. A list of Apple-approved aggregators is available here.
Do I need an Apple ID to sell music on the iTunes Store?
Yes, you must have an Apple ID and a current credit card on file with the iTunes Store. If you don't have an Apple ID, you will need to create one using iTunes. If you do not have iTunes, download it here to get started.
How much does it cost to sign up to sell my content on the iTunes Store?
Signing up to sell your content on the iTunes Store is free. More details regarding sales terms are available during the sign-up process.
Do I need UPCs and ISRCs?
A UPC (Universal Product Code) uniquely identifies each album and helps sellers ensure that they are marketing the right album. An ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) uniquely identifies individual songs. Both identifiers are required metadata for all audio delivered to iTunes.
Do I need a U.S. Tax ID?
Yes, we require a U.S. Tax ID as part of the iTunes Connect sign-up and authentication process. This requirement also applies to music providers outside the U.S. To request a U.S. Tax ID from the IRS, click here.
Be sure to enter your U.S. Tax ID correctly when applying. If you are prompted to complete U.S. tax forms on iTunes Connect, you must use the same U.S. Tax ID.
I get an error message that the first or last name I entered does not match the name on file for the Apple ID I entered. What do I do?
Reenter your Apple ID or go to your account information on the iTunes Store and update the name on file.
I already have an iTunes Connect account to sell another media type (apps, books, TV, or movie content). Can I use it to sell music content?
If you currently have an iTunes Connect account to sell apps or books, you cannot create a second iTunes Connect account with the same Apple ID. You'll need to set up a new Apple ID and use it to complete a separate music application.
If you currently have an iTunes Connect account to sell TV or movie content, or if you have an Apple ID that you used to apply to sell TV or movie content on iTunes and the application is pending approval, you can use that Apple ID to complete the music application.
Who should apply to sell music on the iTunes Store on behalf of my company?
Someone with signature authority should apply to sell music on the iTunes Store. Only that individual can accept the standard iTunes Store contract on iTunes Connect.
I'm being prompted to enter my legal name. Should I use my own name or my company's name?
If you're registered as a company, enter your legal entity name. If you're signing up as an individual, enter your first and last names. The legal name you enter should match the name affiliated with the U.S. Tax ID and Tax ID type that you provide with your application.
How will I be notified of my application status?
You will be notified via email. Check any spam filters on your email account and make sure your account is set up to receive email from firstname.lastname@example.com.
If my application is accepted, in what countries will my music be available?
iTunes artists and labels have the option to request contracts for all regions in which the iTunes Store sells music. Once a contract for a specific region has been finalized, any content that has been delivered to us with territory rights cleared in that region may be made available for sale there.
Will a music contract allow me to sell music videos, ringtones, concert films, and iTunes LP?
Yes, you will be able to sell all these content types under the terms of the standard contract.
Once I have a contract, how is my content uploaded to iTunes?
We will provide you with iTunes Producer, proprietary software that allows you to upload audio files, album metadata, album cover art, and PDFs. Music videos, ringtones, concert films, and iTunes LP cannot currently be delivered through iTunes Producer. You will need to work with an Apple-approved encoding house to deliver these content types.

'They have it all figured out over in the Czech Republic. "I get e-mails and I read the newspapers on the Internet every day," Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Roman Cechmanek said.
