Anyway, as I was clearing some items out of my cabinet, I came across some old 2.5'' x 3.25'' acrylic bent photo frames and thought that I would share what I found them handy for in the past.
At my school we are not permitted to adhere anything to the student desks. That was a bit problematic for the displaying of name plates. Some teachers use hand crafted wooden slotted holders. But, I found that the acrylic photo frames were just about the right size. They can be purchased for about fifty cents at Walmart. If you sit your students in teams you could double up the names one on the front and one on the back.
I hope that you find this helpful. Let me know if you have any other ideas for displaying names on student desks. Thanks :)

Is that package of Thin Mints from last season's Girl Scout cookie buying palooza looking a little too freezer burned to eat? If you can't wait for those glorious order forms to come around again, perhaps some Girl Scout cookie-flavored lip balm will tide you over.
Lip Smacker is behind the genius (and we don't use that word lightly) product line, which includes five fantastic flavors: Thin Mints, Trefoils, Chocolate Peanut Butter (Tagalongs), Peanut Butter (Do-si-dos), and Coconut Caramel Stripes (Samoas), reports Yahoo! Shine.
So you might not be able to actually eat the cookies, which is of course, the very best part, but if you're really in withdrawal it might give you that little fix you need. Just try not to ingest too much flavored wax.
And even more great news? In 2012 there will be lip gloss in cookie flavors as well. Who's hungry for a Thin Mint now? [edit: everyone]
Girl Scout Cookie flavored lip balms. Yum! [Yahoo! Shine]

So I was messing around with different one clicks since I got ADB going on my kindle fire and I was able to Successfully use SuperOneClick 2.2 to root my kindle fire! Sorry for the mess. Its late, and I wanted to type this up so I could crash... To get adb going you must already have the sdk on your machine and used it. goto: %USERPROFILE%\.android and edit the adb_usb.ini and add this to the end of the file and save: Code (Text): 0x1949 then go into where you have the sdk at and open the google-usb_driver folder and edit android_winusb.inf and add this to the [Google.NTx86] section and [Google.NTamd64] section: Code (Text): ;Kindle Fire %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006 %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01 save and close If you have already plugged your kindle into the usb you may have to open device manager and find "Kindle" under other devices and choose the android_winusb.inf file. Turn on Installation of apps from unknown sources: tap the top bar>choose more...(+)>device open a command prompt and run adb kill-server then try adb devices.. you should see a device listed. go here: [APP]SuperOneClick v2.2 (now with zergRush and su 3.0) - xda-developers download and run SuperOneClick and choose the "root" option. let it go! Enjoy! Proof:
I would love some of the people working on this project to make the apk for the kindle e-reader app available so we can use it on other Android Devices. As you may know, the Kindle app on the Android Market lacks functionality. You cant change the line spacing or the font type. However, the version of the Kindle App on the Fire is different. It has all the options that regular kindles do... and i want that to improve my reading experience on my Android HP Touchpad
Awesome and quick work! Sorry for the newb question here - anyone know if you can get VPNC Widget installed and working on the Fire once you have root? I really need a pure IPSec/cisco VPN client since our wireless network at work requires you authenticate via VPN to connect to anything useful. Just taking a shot in the dark.
Pretty sure you need adb working per guide to use superoneclick. Since the exploits that superoneclick uses require adb access.
If you're not comfortable. Give it a week and they'll be one click custom methods all over the place.
I was wondering if anybody has tried sideloading z4root and seeing if it works. Since this already-existing multi-device root method works, maybe another would as well...
Especially if you dont have the SDK yet.. having a hard time figuring out what I need and where to find the google-usb_driver folder, so far not a whole lot of luck. That is what I get for being a newb trying to catch up. Ahh nevermind, found it. Down under all the Android versions in the SDK is Extras, the "Google USB Driver Package" is under that. Install that and you find the inf file. Still more clicks than I expected when the headline on many sites today is "one click", but then again what was it Mark Twain said about believing what you read?. This still seems pretty straightforward despite my newbness.
Can't post links yet, but there is a tutorial (based on the instructions in here) that details a bit better the "prerequisites" for the one click root. reviewhorizon.com/2011/11/how-to-root-jailbreak-kindle-fire-using-one-click-solution-superoneclick-also-enable-sideloading-apps/
Oh no! A self-referencing loop! If you keep clicking the link in the article and this one in the forum you will continue looping until eventually the universe implodes.
Just a bit of info for any one thinking of rooting the Kindle fire. If you plan on streaming videos with Amazon Prime don't root it just yet. I rooted mine and I wasn't able to stream I called Amazon Support thinking it was a problem with my account and they said the error message I was getting was do to rooting, of course I played dumb. I unrooted the device and video streaming is working again. The error message was something like...."Your device is no longer configure correctly for video playback" or something along those lines. Just a bit of info
Yeah, it's been mentioned in the tech blogs and there's already a work-around: Rooting Kindle Fire Breaks Amazon Video (And How To Make It Work)
hello, I encountered some problem while run adb commands, therefore ROOT end up failure. the command output seems wrong, the status is "offline" does anybody know the reason? ******* C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * List of devices attached **********00000001 offline *********
I've followed this instructions a couple of times... on three different computer... two xp and one windows 7 but adb finds no devices... any ideas? C:\android\platform-tools>adb devices * daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * * daemon started successfully * List of devices attached Thanks
What worked for me was that I manually input the 0x1949 code, if you copy and paste it to the notepad document it registers it as something else. I had the same problem.
IF i have adb setup for other android devices, do i need to change some of the things that were stated in the op in order for superoneclick to work ? Thanks
I am having the same issue. Tried the rooting process on two different computers with the same result
If it's not what RawRmon said about the 0X1949 text being pasted in wrong then: Did you guys plug your Fires into the PC before you had ADB installed and updated? May need to point the Fire at the new driver if so. Open the Fire in device manger, update driver, manually select the folder with the inf file you updated. Oh and iceman99393: As I understand it: Yes, you still need to edit the files so adb recognizes the Fire. That's the whole point of that. Without doing that it has no clue what the hunk of circuits is on the end of the micro-usb cable.
maybe its just me but im not fully understanding what i need to do clearly to adb in order to root the kindle fire. Could anyone give a little more detailed and clear explanation? thank you

Technology Revolutions and the Gestation of New Technologies
We formalize an explanation for technology revolutions and growth cycles in a model where consumers and firms benefit from periodic changes in technology which result in the development and marketing of new generations of products. We characterize the equilibrium and analyze the effects of changing the rate of technology growth, resource endowment, and R&D and production costs on the duration of generations of products and the frequency of technology revolutions, and hence the growth cycles.

Frank Bruni: With Romera, Foodism Has Gone Too Far
While Ryan Sutton fumes over the lack of transparency at Romera, where he has been having a very hard time getting a straight answer about the price of wine, Frank Bruni takes a critical -- if not quite a food critic's -- look at the new $245-per-person "neurogastronomy" restaurant in a Times op-ed piece. Unfortunately, for him, Romera represents everything that's wrong with foodie culture nowadays.
Not only is the highly conceptualized, miniature-portioned food less than satisfying, says Bruni. But he feels the restaurant epitomizes "how much culinary vanity we've encouraged and pretension we've unleashed." He writes:
While blazers are optional at Romera, straitjackets would be a fine idea. It's the craziest example I've encountered of the way our culture's food madness tips into food psychosis, at least among those with keen appetites and the means to indulge them.
It's difficult to share our thoughts because it might be a while before we can scrape up the budget to properly review Romera. For now, it looks like this will be a conversation for the 1 percent to have among themselves. But Bruni's disapproving critique does beg the question: How many stars would he have doled out for this "organoleptic" spectacle?

Bohigas Cava Brut Reserva
Product Description
Here is one stunning sparkling wine from Spain you should not miss – from the juice to the beautiful bottle. Cavas are made in the same style as Champagne, where the second fermentation happens in the bottle. This gives the wine softer, higher quality bubbles, in addition to more sophisticated aromas and flavors. Another terrific factor about this Cava is that it's at the hand of a female winemaker. I've always had a fascination with and admiration for female winemakers. More and more wineries employ women winemakers, and some may argue that the female palate may be more developed and sophisticated than their male counterparts. But in order to not offend anyone, I shall change the subject to this lovely, and extremely affordable, new Cava we just added to our sparkling section.
Fermí Bohigas is a family-owned winery that has roots dating back to the 13th century. The estate is located in the town of Òdena in the River Anoia valley, about 45 minutes west of Barcelona. The current family and their ancestors have been growing grapes and making wines at this location consecutively since 1290. Their first bottling took place in 1870. They first used the name "Bohigas" on a wine label in 1978. Today, the family's estate encompasses 300 hectares of which 110 are split between two separate vineyard properties, named "Can Maciá" and "Can Batllevell", both of which have their own cellars. The family owns a total of 150 hectares planted mostly to traditional varieties. This area is particularly suitable for the production of base cava wines of great quality, because the vines have naturally low yields and the grapes are high in acidity. The cava is based on the indigenous grapes Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada.
From grape-growing to bottling, all Bohigas wines come from their estates. The vineyards are farmed organically, and the estate is now in official organic conversion. For the cava wines, Bohigas focuses on the historical and indigenous varieties of Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada for whites and Trepat for red.
The estate is very famous for its Xarel-lo vines which allow for extended lees aging of the cavas in the bottle during the second fermentation. Given the meticulous care and attention to the Cavas - from vineyard to cellar to bottle, the wines are finished with low dosage levels (8g on the Reserva and 6g on the Rosat).
Today's current owner is Jordi Casanovas Bohigas, who carries on the family tradition of producing high-quality wines from 100% estate-grown grapes. His daughter Maria Casanovas is the winemaker. In 2000, they invested heavily in the modernization of their cellar at Can Maciá (the site of their original winery), where they traditionally produce and bottle their cava, as well as a number of still wines.
Made from a classic blend (for this area) of Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada planted in limestone and clay soils, the Bohigas Cava Brut NV spends 24 months on its lees before disgorgement. It is an excellent value for anyone looking for great alternatives to French Champagne! - Sunny Gandara - Suburban's Sparkling Buyer
Wine Advocate
My favorite of the two sparkling Cavas is the non-vintage Brut Reserva Cava. Made from a classic blend (for this area) of Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada planted in limestone and clay soils, the wine spends 24 months on its lees before disgorgement. It is an excellent value for consumers looking for alternatives to French Champagne. Lemon/lime, crushed rock and white currant notes are present in this crisp, elegant, refreshing, zesty, dry sparkler. Hints of wheat thins and brioche add complexity. Enjoy this medium-bodied offering over the next 1-2 years.

street meat. other than that, choose places that look clean, don't go crazy ordering things on the menu, and drink plenty of guaro.
don't go cheap on the sunscreen. get some waterman's, and don't skimp. put it everywhere, and use the stick for your face. be polite, tip well, and respect the area.
Lots of threads on this. The food in CR is very good and much less processed than our food. Find out where the local people eat (I don't know Hermosa). Bottled water only. Imperial. Be cool, have fun.
Get some Mamones! Awesome furry fruit in costa. Drinking water is safe, food is great, waves are even better.
walking distance Las Ohlas has excellent breakfast, smoothies, lunch fair. if you have a car the soda in Jaco at the bottom of the hill has the best food around(tico prices)..it will be the one with a full parking lot. Have fun!

Drive the speed limit. Seriously.

this. & be careful on the one lane bridges. i've seen many gnarly head ons on those.
it's been about 10 years since i've been to hermosa, but i really enjoyed surfing a spot called tulin's that was at the end of a dirt road south of the main town. much less crowded than the main spot & more user-friendly on the low tide.
Second "live ones" on the places to eat. No need to go the bottled water route unless you want to, the local water is fine. Make sure to wear your seat belt as the fine is pretty stiff ($600 US) for each person without one and there are check points. Great breaks all along the Playa Hermosa. Headed back the end of June for 3-4 weeks.

Playa Nosara twice. Some of the best waves of my life. Caught it at about head high for a few days, then head high plus a couple for the last 2 days. Long, long rights. Some very legit times at Bleu Dogs. The weed stunk but it didn't seem to matter. Have a blast man. Jealous.

CARSON CITY – An audit of the state Division of Tourism reviewed by state lawmakers on Monday found two cases where contractors were not selected through a formal competitive process as required by state law.
The review by the legislative auditor also found that the two contractors did not have formal state contracts.
Payments to the two contractors in fiscal years 2012 and 2013 totaled over $7 million.
Failure to have formal state contracts could leave the state exposed to unnecessary liability and costs, the audit said.
The Tourism Division, in its response, said it had a waiver granted in 2008 and other approvals to award the services without competitive bids.
But the audit found the agency did not follow the requirements of the waiver and other procedures.
One contractor, Creative Concepts, was selected in 2009 by the agency using its own request for proposals for television advertising. In 2012 and 2013, the contractor was paid more than $4.7 million for advertising, including over $708,000 in commissions.
The second contractor, Centro, was selected to purchase digital media, and received $2.3 million in 2013. Although the division indicated most of the money went to purchase advertising space, the contractor's invoices did not include sufficient detail to determine if a commission was paid, the audit found.
Claudia Vecchio, director of the Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs, said in her response to the audit that no commission was paid on the second contract.
Another finding in the audit determined that payments were made to contractors without adequate supporting documentation. For 21 of 57 payments tested, contractors' invoices lacked the required information, the audit found. For fiscal years 2012 and 2013, payments to these 10 contractors totaled over $12.5 million.
In the Centro contract, the division did not have evidence from media providers that the digital advertisements were placed, or the costs charged by the publishers, the audit said.
"State policy and best practices require adequate supporting documentation to ensure contract payments are appropriate," the audit said.
Vecchio, who took over as head of the state tourism agency in November 2011, said the Creative Concepts contract predated her tenure. But she told the members of the Legislative Commission's Audit Subcommittee that she takes 100 percent responsibility for the findings and that changes have been made to ensure state laws and regulations are being followed in the award of contracts.
Neither firm is currently providing any services to the state, although Creative Concepts potentially could be awarded more work.
Changes have also been made to ensure documentation is adequate before payments are made, Vecchio said.
"Things are not perfect but we're getting there," she said.
Tourism's primary mission is to promote the state to travelers. In fiscal year 2013 the agency spent $18.4 million, including $9.4 million on promotion and advertising. The agency gets its revenue from the hotel room tax.
Vecchio said the state's spring/summer tourism campaign just kicked off Monday. The Las Vegas firm B&P Advertising was awarded the $4.1 million contract.

Hi ,
Sorry for replying in late, became busy with other work.
I have gone through the document you mentioned. I have already mounted the GFS on each node. I am building the guests on this GFS file system and all the nodes are zen hosts.
My question is, the file system will be available from each node but the guests will be only available from the node from where the xm create is being executed.
- Suppose the guests are in node1. Now if node1 gone down then all the
guests will go down too. But if the guests are enabled from all the
nodes then if node1 gone down, then still in the other nodes the guests
are running.
- That's why my first email is for that should I need to create any
service so that if any script is being set under the service and in
that script ,I can mention xm create create etc etc, to bring up the
guests in other node and so on.
So pl. advice me now what will be the best procedure to follow in the
above scenario which I mentioned.
Thanks again

The preeminent association of in-house tax professionals worldwide has published a comprehensive survey of corporate tax departments. TEI's 2011-2012 Corporate Tax Department Survey — a compendium of summary results, analysis, third-party commentary, and an online stratification tool to create customized tables of results — enables tax executives to benchmark more effectively and efficiently.
More than 500 companies participated in the 67-question survey, which updates a similar survey conducted in 2004-2005 revealing critical changes and emerging trends.
The survey's online tool, explains TEI President Carita Twinem, "slices and dices data in many ways to produce valubale information by company size, tax department size and budgets, and industry. The result is an impressive array of benchmarking information that TEI members and others will find invaluable."
Written commentary in the publication includes detailed articles by well-known tax experts on three areas: risk management, the use of software, and changes in controversy activities.
See a sample page from the book, or a snapshot of the online tool.
Performance Management: The most common measurement used to evaluate the tax department's performance was "lack of surprises" (72%). Other measures included the results of audits (cited by 60%), meeting compliance deadlines (59%), cash taxes (57%), effective tax rates (53%), measurable tax project objectives (53%), and staying within the department budget (51%). Big increases in evaluation measures were seen for cash taxes (48% used in 2004, 57% today) and economic profit/value added (9% used in 2004, 34% today).
Significant Deficiency/Material Weakness: Fourteen percent (14%) reported that the company received a significant deficiency or material weakness from its financial statement auditors with respect to tax in the past 5 years. Among them, a substantial majority (70%) were able to remediate the deficiency or weakness in 1 year or less.
Company size and location: The majority of companies responding (63%) have consolidated worldwide revenues of more than $1 billion, which tracks closely with the findings from the 2004-2005 survey at 60%. Almost three-quarters (73%) of this revenue comes from the United States (8% comes from Europe, 8% from Canada, and 11% from other parts of the world).
Senior Tax Executive: Similar to the 2004-2005 survey, the majority of senior tax executives have the title "Director of Tax/Corporate Tax Director" (39%) or "Vice President" (39%). Two-thirds (67%) of Senior Tax Executives report directly to the company's Chief Financial Officer (64% did so among respondents in the 2004-2005 survey). Twelve percent (12%) report to the company's Controller, 9% to the Chief Accounting Office, and 5% to the Treasurer. The remaining 7% report to someone else in the company.
Number of Employees: Overall, companies responding to the survey have an average 10.6 employees within the tax department and 0.7 contractors (for an average of 11.2 total personnel, compared to 11.4 in 2004-05). Seventy-one percent (71%) have 4 or more total personnel in the tax department.
Tax Department Budget: Overall, just more than half (54%) saw an increase in their tax department's budget during the past 3 years. Slightly more (64%) reported increases in the same period in the 2004-2005 survey.
Software/Technology: Overall, tax department IT seems to have improved since 2004. Twenty-one percent (21%) report the company's tax provision software is integrated with the compliance system (15% reported integration in the 2004-2005 survey). In addition, 69% say the company is using an ERP system (55% used an ERP system in 2004).
Audits: About one-third (30%) report an increase in federal/national home-country audits over the past 3 years (59% report no change).

This was OK, but definitely not impressive. My boyfriend didn't finish his, and I had a hard time with mine, because its quite dry. I took the rest to work the next day, though and it was much better after the flavors had ahd time to blend.
This was quick and easy to make, and it satisfied my (usually carnivorous) husband enough to pass as dinner. I had to use canned peaches and baby spinach as my market didn't have any decent fresh peaches or watercress, but the salad still had great flavor.

I Am Alive Cheats :
Glitch - Extra Arrow at the beginning of the Ship.
by best buds! Mar 17, 2012
Right after the cut scene where the main character tells Henry he has arrived at the ship, walk to the end of the ramp leading on board. Do not step on the ship yet! From the edge of the boarding platform you should be able to see a man standing around a corner straight ahead Simply pull out your bow, take aim, and kill him. Now step on the ship and deal with what happens. When you can relax again you should have an arrow in the guy you killed, and one sticking out of the tank in the middle of the area you are in, along with another goody that guy will drop. |

"A mystery that doubles as a sly work of serious literature. . . . This novel is a quick read and a true jewel."
Kirkus Reviews
"I'm Gone combines the policier, the cultural essay and the urban sex novel to create a vivid, entertaining, hybrid."
—The New York Times Book Review
"Combining the offhand wit of Raymond Chandler with the narrative agility of Peter Høeg, Echenoz crafts a clever, philosophical tale."
—Publishers Weekly
"With a wink and a nod and an easy manner of style, Echenoz all but tells us outright not to take any of this too seriouslyto enjoy I'm Gone in the same devil-may-care spirit in which it is offered."
—The Boston Sunday Globe
"A mordantly humorous work."
"Echenoz both employs and subverts the convention of the adventure and detective genres in this sly send-up of contemporary art life."
—Library Journal

seriously, how freaking dumb are these girls? Their excuse everytime is - "well I never done that before.." I don't drink chocolate milk but I know how to make it. Seriously, what is going on? I hate them so much
I caught when Artie said that to the Twins about getting the ingredients to make Chocolate Milk-When he said-"All the ingredients are in the title!" That literally made me laugh out loud.
then living in the midwest, they never heard of "regular milk"? Must have lived a very sheltered life. By the way, they lived closed to the dairy capital of USA Just astonishing level of stupidity. Like artie said, "they will be successful in life bacause all they have to say is "Yes" to a bulls player going to walgreens..."
Yeah, that bugged me out. I always thought they were just "regular"-stupid until then, with them being semi-retarded being Artie-schtick. But no, it isn't. She was looking at the milk like it was some kind of Indiana Jones-type discovery, too. Why do "stupid" and "keeping quiet about it" never go together?!? It's like they don't even suspect they might not be up to snuff; they just blurt that shit out, and even argue about it!!! "No, pally: I thought 2% was regular, and skim was half-and-half, and.........................shut up, you're stupid!!!" Their entire vocabulary should consist of "yes, sir/no, sir/thank you/i'm sorry; i'll do better next time".

Ward's heroics bring out the racists among us
April 26th, 2012, 2:04 pm by Eric Stephens, Staff writerJoel Ward is a hockey player who scored the kind of goal that millions who have played the sport dream about.
His Game 7 score in overtime on Wednesday lifted the Washington Capitals to a stunning 2-1 victory over the Boston Bruins, eliminating the defending Stanley Cup champions on the road at TD Garden. If you've ever met Ward or talked with him and know his story, he is the type of person you'd be happy to see have such an unforgettable moment.
Ward is also black. His decisive goal had one fan base rejoicing and another revolting but the fact that he simply has darker skin that his teammates or the majority of opponents he faces was apparently enough to have a number of "fans" unleash their racist venom upon him.
SB Nation and Black Sports Online collected a number of other posts from different Twitter accounts, most of them including the n-word when referring to Ward. The veteran winger's parents are from Barbados and migrated to Toronto. [Note: The language is strong and very offensive.]
Ward took the high road in this USA Today article, saying that the comments he's seen are "shocking to see, but it didn't ruin my day."

AutismUnited Support:
When your child is diagnosed with Autism you may find yourself unsure of how to treat them. Parenting can become and even more difficult task if you are unsure of where to place boundaries or how to even establish them. There are a few key points that can be considered when entering into this new stage of parenting. Try keeping the expectations high. Your child should still be expected to complete all tasks which are within his or her ability. This may take some advice from your support systems whether it's your doctor or behavioural therapist. They can help you decide where your child is at, and if he or she can handle the expectations set. For instance, he or she should be expected to put away all the toys or materials that he or she plays with. It is the same with any child, although the length of time or how you convey it may be different. Placing these expectations is important to your child's growth. That is, task completion should always be an expectation. In some circumstances such as if the child becomes distressed, it may be necessary to reduce the length or size of a task. Which means only pick up half the toys at that particular time. These little tools will help you and your child arrive at a routine that works well for both of you.
It is critical that the people who will be involved in dealing with your child on a daily basis realize doing so must be in a consistent fashion. This includes following through on their requests to him or her. The reason for this is that consistency will help the child to generalize the skills. This leads to helping your child to learn to all of his or her environments. Parents should know that it is recommended that coordinated programming be implemented in all your child's usual environments. This means home, school and where ever else your child spends quality time. Having things such as "ground rules" should be decided upon with all those who are involved in your child's regular care. It is important to have everyone involved your child care process all aware of what you as the parents are trying to accomplish. Regular meetings and a communication notebook that the child carries may facilitate the communication process which can alleviate stressful situation for both parents and child.
A with any child or even more so, children with Autism will have outbursts of anger. If your child has temper tantrums, it is important that these tantrums be dealt with in a consistent fashion. Just because your child has a spectrum disorder, he or she can still learn what appropriate behaviour is, what is acceptable and what is not. The child will soon learn that tantrums are not an appropriate method of getting one's needs met. Conveying this method of behavioural control to all people involved will help on a number of levels. If all of the people he or she encounters respond to them in a similar fashion it will be that much easier to handle. Remember, things generally get worse before they get better and getting discouraged early on won't help your child or you in the long run. Children sometimes act up more often when parents first begin a behaviour change program. The thing to remember is to be patient and be persistent.

A vaginal cyst is a closed sac on or under the vaginal lining that contains fluid or semisolid material.
There are several types of vaginal cysts, which can range in size from the size of a pea to that of an orange. Vaginal inclusion cysts are the most common. These may form as a result of trauma sustained by the vaginal walls or following an obstetric or gynecologic procedure, when the lining of the vagina doesn't heal to its normal smoothness.
Gartner's duct cysts develop in the space occupied by the Gartner's duct, usually on the side walls of the vagina. This duct is active during fetal development but ordinarily disappears after birth. In some cases, however, portions of the duct may collect fluid and develop into a vaginal wall cyst later in life.
Benign tumors of the vagina are uncommon and are usually made up of cysts.
Vaginal cysts usually do not cause symptoms, although there may be a soft lump felt in the vaginal wall or protruding from the vagina. Some women with vaginal cysts may have discomfort during sexual intercourse or difficulty inserting tampons.
Upon pelvic examination, a mass or bulge of the vaginal wall may be seen or felt by the examiner. A biopsy may be necessary to rule out vaginal cancer, especially if the mass appears to be solid.
If the cyst is located under the bladder or urethra, X-rays may be required to be sure the cyst does not involve these structures.
The only treatment needed may simply involved routine exams and watching the cysts for growth and other changes.
Surgical excision (removal) may be chosen or possibly required if the cyst is causing symptoms. However, this can sometimes be a very involved surgery and is not recommended unless you are having significant symptoms.
The outcome is generally good. Frequently cysts remain small and require no treatment. When surgically removed, the cysts usually do not return.
There are usually no complications from the cysts themselves. A surgical excision procedure carries a small risk of complications depending on where the cyst is located in relation to other structures.
Call your health care provider if a lump is felt inside the vagina or protruding from the vagina.

Paul Ryan now calls wasteful federal auto-retooling program he once lauded
WASHINGTON _ GOP vice presidential candidate Rep. Paul Ryan lauded a federal program designed to help automakers retool their factories as a "prudent" expenditure of taxpayer dollars before trying to strip it from the budget, according to a 2009 letter he co-wrote to the Treasury Department.
Ryan, who was selected to be the running mate of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney last week, backed the $25 billion Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program when it was proposed by the Bush administration in 2007 to provide grants and low-interest loans to car manufacturers seeking to design more fuel efficient vehicles – a funding stream he is now calling wasteful and ill-advised.
But when a Chrysler plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin was shuttering its doors in May 2009, he teamed up with three Democratic lawmakers from Wisconsin to "strongly encourage" the Obama administration to direct some of the money to the plant.
"At a time when unemployment is at an all time high in the US, every effort must be made to promote American jobs and use Americas' tax dollars prudently," Ryan wrote to Steve Rattner, chair of the Treasury Department's Automotive Task Force, along with Rep. Gwen Moore and the state's two senators, Herb Kohl and Russell Feingold. "We strongly encourage you to work with Chrysler to use this available funding to re-tool the Kenosha engine plant."
The loans, they said, would help Chrysler retool the Kenosha engine plant in order to produce the fuel efficient "phoenix" line of engines.
Ryan, a self-described fiscal conservative who has railed against federal spending that he said "picks winners and losers," also supported the Obama administration's separate government bailout of automakers.
Romney's choice of Ryan, whose budget calling for reduced government spending and tax cuts passed the House of Representatives, has increased scrutiny of his record as a seven-term congressman.
After the Globe reported earlier this week that he sought millions of dollars in the economic stimulus funds from the Obama administration that he fiercely opposed, he denied it before acknowledging late Thursday that he mishandled the matter.

Rural schools in California are facing cuts because a federal funding program has expired. And one lawmaker says it's time for the state to step in. From Sacramento, Marianne Russ reports.
Historically, schools in counties dominated by U.S. Forest Service lands have received a portion of timber sale revenues. When those declined, Congress authorized supplemental funding. But that has expired, and Congress is debating whether to reauthorize it. Mike Ricketts represents county superintendents in California. He says more than 200 school districts and county offices of education rely on that money:
Ricketts : They're sending out layoff notices to teachers for this coming year because that's a state requirement that that be done by March 15th, so districts right now are planning on not receiving these funds because the federal government hasn't acted.
Republican Senator Sam Aanestad is behind a bill to provide schools with state loans as a stopgap. But some fear that would give the federal government less incentive to act. The bill is sponsored by the Schwarzenegger administration, and has cleared its first committee hurdle. Marianne Russ, KPBS News.

ABC's Castle may not be the most popular mystery show on television — but the book "written" by its main character, Richard Castle (played by Nathan Fillion) is racing up the charts. Heat Wave, the oft-mentioned first book in the Nikki Heat series, was ostensibly written by Castle himself — though he is as much a fictional character as are the characters he creates in Heat Wave.
The layering of fiction upon fiction here is one of the book's charms. On the show, Richard Castle is a famous mystery writer who uses his influence to get himself partnered-up with no-nonsense homicide detective Kate Beckett, so that he can learn about the real, gritty cop world. This, in turn, inspires Castle to create Nikki Heat as his new main character — a homicide detective saddled with a writer partner, the famous journalist Jameson Rook.
In Heat Wave, Heat and Rook (and Heat's two sidekicks, Raley and Ochoa) are charged with investigating the over-the-balcony murder of a major Manhattan real-estate developer, Matthew Starr. Early on, things get more complicated as neither Starr nor his wife turn out to be what they seem; despite living in a mansion lined with pricey paintings and fancy furniture, Starr is flat broke.
The twists and turns of the mystery are as predictable as, well, a procedural television show. Luckily, the who-dunnit is only one of two suspenseful storylines powering this book: there's also a romance.
Unlike on the show, Heat Wave is told exclusively from Nikki Heat's point of view. She spends the book torn between annoyance at Rook — similar to Beckett's usual treatment of Castle on the show — and desire, a component TV viewers are left only to hope for. A moment early in the book finds Heat and Rook a little too close for her comfort:
Nose-to-nose with him in the heat, she held his gaze and watched the dance of reflected sunlight playing off his eyes. And then she blinked. Oh shit, she thought, what was that? I can't be attracted to this guy. No way.Well, actually, yes way. Viewers of the show already know how this ends — in a steamy scene midway through the book — but the play back and forth between the two characters is fun and unforced, and often less predictable than the mystery they're pursuing.
The most fun — and interesting — part of the book remains its tie-in to the show. ABC hasn't revealed who the "real" Richard Castle is (and actor Fillion is apparently attending his book-signing parties), but a safe bet would place it in the hands of one of the show's actual writers. There's insider information all over these pages, which seem to be narrated completely in Castle's voice and an accurate (and telling) picture of how a delightfully egotistical artist might hope he's seen through the eyes of a tough female cop.
Heat Wave is a fun read for fans of Castle and might even be a worth-while pick-up for fans of the mystery genre, which it manages to both spoof and live happily within all at the same time. At the end, readers are left with two real mysteries: Who is the real Richard Castle, and when will he write again?

2004 Ultimate Adventure - Rockport, Illinois
Posted in Ultimate Adventure: 2004 on October 7, 2004 Comment (0)Rockport is found just outside of Atlas, Illinois, roughly 100 miles north of Saint Louis. The park is open Friday through Monday year round and has 700 acres of property that can be explored through various motorbike, ATV, and 4x4 trails. An additional 900 acres can be opened for special pre-organized runs of 5 or more vehicles. Our convoy of 20 vehicles plus the 5 or so local rigs made a long day of the tight, dirt and mud trails weaving amongst the trees and hill climbs.

When making an investment in an ETF you are buying shares in a company that is listed on a stock exchange. It is expected that shares in the ETFs will trade closely to their NAV, and because of the exchange-traded fund structure, it is expected that a significant discount or premium of price to asset value will not be sustainable over the long term. However, supply and demand in the shares on the relevant exchange together with any disruptions to creations and redemptions of units in the underlying fund may result in share prices that differ significantly from the NAVs and there can be no certainty that there will be liquidity in the shares on any exchange.

Yun Suk-Young has become Harry Redknapp's third signing as QPR manager after joining from Chunnam Dragons on a three-and-a-half-year deal, the London club announced.
The 22-year-old was a key member of the South Korean Olympic squad that took bronze at London 2012, before then going on to make his full international debut in October.
Yun has been linked to a number of clubs in recent times, including west London rivals Fulham, but has joined QPR on for an undisclosed fee from K-League side Chunnam Dragons.
The left-back has been granted a work permit and will be eligible to play for the Rs once he obtains a visa.
Yun joins fellow January acquisitions Loic Remy and Tal Ben Haim at Loftus Road, where he links up with countryman Park Ji-sung.
The defender may be the first of several signings before the transfer deadline, with Peter Crouch, Christopher Samba and Etienne Capoue amongst those on QPR's radar.

Grow Your Business with Interactive Voice Response
Every growing business experiences the following scenario at some point:
A new advertisement or marketing campaign generates attention and more potential customers start calling, causing the business owner and staff to spend significantly more time on the phone taking orders or answering questions.
An increase in calls can often overwhelm small- and even mid-sized businesses as they try to qualify new leads, or answer general inquiries while still trying to maintain service quality elsewhere. Some hire additional staff, while others rely on the phone company to provide additional lines to manage the workload – but these options carry significantly greater cost than automating inbound calls.

This prompted further investigation into the customer experience of a caller to the firm. Continue reading
Disaster Planning: Include Your Virtual Phone System
Sadly, unexpected disasters can strike your area and business in numerous ways. While there's no way to completely prepare for every type of disaster, having contingency plans and needed tools readily available can help you navigate through tough times.
Part of a disaster plan should address how you'll communicate with your customers, clients, and employees. It may not be feasible to individually call each member of your team or expect team members to have access to their normal work environment. Instead, you may need to set up a communication system that can be accessed by employees once they reach safety. Including a virtual phone system with automated attendant, call forwarding, and hunt group features into your disaster plan can minimize service disruptions. Continue reading
Review: Hunt Groups for Your Small Business
Okay, not many people these days are listening to their voicemails. The hustle and bustle of life has gotten so hectic, a businessperson could save 30 minutes a day from erasing every voicemail left on that day! How's that for efficiency? Still, if you're a small-business entrepreneur, you need to make sure you're in contact with your clients. And that, unfortunately, means keeping an eye (actually an ear) on your messages. It's absolutely crucial.
How come no one leaves voicemail anymore?
An interesting article in the New York Times titled "You have voicemail. Do you care?" shows that up to 70% potential customers don't leave voicemails anymore. Why?
The article suggests that even amongst the older population, consumers have become accustomed to 'instant gratification' features such as SMS text or even e-mail.
It's even more compelling that at a couple of dollars per answered call, on demand answering services (can I plug Halloo's Live Answering Service here?) make ROI sense. It's not just about better customer service anymore, it's about making sure you don't lose your customers to voicemail.

Clarence's Story: Why We Need a Functioning NLRB
Clarence Adams from Brooklyn, N.Y., was fired by Cablevision for asking for a fair contract. He explains here why a functioning National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is important for America's working families.
Join the Give Us 5 NLRB Members campaign to ensure workers' rights are protected on the job.
From the campaign:
By enforcing labor laws, the NLRB protects more than 80 million private sector workers. It's time for the Senate to confirm the three Democrats and two Republicans who have been nominated to the NLRB so that workers' rights are protected and labor law is fairly enforced.
When workers stand up for themselves at work, they deserve to be protected from employer harassment, discipline or termination. The Senate must confirm all five of President Obama's nominees to the National Labor Relations Board so that the Board can do its job and enforce the laws that protect workers.
Sign the Give Us 5 petition here.
