Dr. Sauté K. Dean provides effective non-surgical treatment for sciatica pain
Marlton, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/12/2015 --Each year, millions of American suffer with the pain of sciatica, and emergency room doctors report that it's one of the most common conditions they encounter. Many of these patients fail to find the relief they need, and only 15% of those who undergo surgery experience an effective resolution to their pain. Dr. Sauté K. Dean of Dean Chiropractic & Pain Relief in Marlton, NJ is helping local patients who are struggling with sciatica pain finally find relief from their condition without the use of drugs or surgery.
As an experienced doctor of chiropractic, Dr. Dean focuses on finding the true source of the patient's pain rather than creating a treatment plan that just masks the symptoms. Upon finding the source of the pain, Dr. Dean and his staff are able to create a custom treatment plan that will help the patient over time find relief from their pain as the body works to heal itself as well.
Sciatica pain typically originates in the pelvic and lumbar spine. For many patients, their sciatica pain was not caused by a major traumatic injury, but rather a small movement like bending over to pick up a piece of paper. Sciatica pain can range from a minor discomfort to severe, debilitating pain. This pain usually radiates from the lower spine into other areas of the limbs like the leg and foot.
Dr. Dean takes into account the unique concerns and complaints of each patient in regard to their sciatica pain to both diagnose and create a treatment plan for the condition. The total treatment time for each patient is dependent on the condition of the discs or joints that Dr. Dean must correct. However, most patients report feeling at least some relief after their first one or two treatments.
Through customized chiropractic treatments, Dr. Dean is able to ensure that the patient's musculoskeletal system is in proper alignment so the nervous system can operate properly as well. Bodies that are in proper alignment are able to function at their peak, and can also better withstand future injuries.
Beyond providing chiropractic treatment for patients suffering with sciatica pain, Dr. Dean also offers massage therapy, physical rehabilitation, lifestyle modification, and nutritional counseling services at his Marlton, NJ practice.
About Dean Chiropractic
Dr. Sauté K. Dean is a specially trained chiropractic doctor with a particular emphasis in sports medicine. He has more than 10 years of experience helping patients find relief from back and neck pain, and throughout his career has helped many notable athletes both with sports injuries and with helping them reach their full performance potential.

How To Choose The Perfect Destination For Your Vacation
Cruising is an excellent method of seeing a number of places while traveling. Cruises have many on-board activities, and you have the chance to explore once you reach each port. This article will provide you with some handy tips to help you get the most out of your trip. Don't Travel Without First Reading These Important Tips
When going abroad, use ATMs to get some cash instead of using an exchange service. Banks usually have better exchange rates that are significantly better than those available to individuals. This can save you a great deal of money.
Are you concerned about the safety of the hotel you are staying at? Take along a doorstop. These wedges are important if you have people coming in and out.
When traveling by airplane, it is important that you think ahead. It can take a lot of time to reach an airport that is located in a major city, because of location and traffic. Make sure to have your luggage packed and waiting on the night before you leave. Make all the preparations you need well before your flight. It feels terrible to miss your flight.
When traveling through smaller airports, check their websites to discover every airline that offers service there. Many small airports offer charter airlines; they may not show up as you search for rates, and sometimes can offer a better deal than major airlines.
Always keep your essential items close to you when traveling. Keep your purse tucked under your arm. Also, pick travel bags with secured flaps that conceal zippers and pockets, so that access is not easy in crowded or dangerous areas. These are but a few tips to consider when shopping for a safe bag for your travels.
Look at the alarm clock in the room when you check in. You do not want to be subject to the alarm needs of the previous guest. Be sure to set this for whatever time you feel is comfortable to wake up at.
On a red-eye flight, sleeping pills may be helpful. Many people cannot sleep on a plane because of the unfamiliar surroundings, the uncomfortable seats, and the noise from the plane and passengers. Take a mild sleeping pill to get you through the flight. Nothing too strong, but enough to make you drowsy. Always wait until you are safely in the air before taking your sleeping pill because delays can happen or planes can be grounded.
If you are heading out of town, make efforts to secure the "local" rate for your desired hotel. You will find plenty of local hotel deals in your area because they are trying to have a full hotel. If you are friendly with a person who lives in the city you plan to visit, contact them too see if they are aware of any special deals. This will help reduce the costs on your trip.
If your car has to be left at an airport while you travel, make sure you pre-book airport parking ahead of time. If you wait to book a parking spot on the day you need it, it will generally be way more expensive. It might save even more if you just take a taxi to the airport.
Get yourself a National Parks Pass if you think you will be visiting often. For fifty dollars, you can visit all the parks all year long.
While some car rental companies ask that drivers be at least 18, others require that their drivers be 25 years old. If you're 25 or under, you may pay a slightly higher rate and may need to give a credit card. It's important to note that senior citizens cannot rent a car in certain cities. Find out about age issues before you arrive.
Travel offers you a way to lean about different cultures and people groups. Anyone can use the above tops to turn an ordinary trip into an incredible one.

The copper colored embossed stamps and the sentiment are from Hot off the Press and I used Prills in the center of the bloom. The die under the flower is called Arianna Lace and it's by Heartfelt Creations. This was such a fun make. I encourage you to give it a try below is the web site to enter the challenge.

Hi. I am a blessed wife and mother of a wonderful 6 yr old little boy. I have always had some type crafting in my life. At a young age my mother taught me how to sew on our family pool table, which I thought was so cool. Then as teen a family friend taught me cross stitching and I did that up until I saw an Anna Griffin Christmas card making kit on HSN for sale. I bought it and haven't looked back. I love it. I'm addicted. Anyways, I hope you enjoy my site and I hope you are inspired to create something beautiful. I am looking forward to hearing your comments and hope you come back frequently to see what I have for you. Blessings and Peace to you. Diane

The Department of Health through its National Epidemiology Center reported 61 HIV cases for August 2009, a 49% increase compared to the same period last year. The total number of HIV infection for 2009 alone (January to August) accounts for 493 cases. This month's reported infections bring the total number of HIV cases in the Philippines to 4,082 since January 1984.
The age of the infected Filipinos ranges from 20-54 with males males having the majority of the cases (92%). Ten (10) reported HIV infections for this month were young Filipinos age 15-24, half the number of cases as compared to last month's 21 cases. Of all the cases, majority (34 cases or 56%) were from Metro Manila, the country's National Capital Region.
All of the cases, except three with no data given, were infected through sexual contact. The predominant mode of sexual contact was through men having sex with men (72%). Four of the 61 infections were reported as AIDS cases. No death was reported.

(El Paso Texas)
I have been divorced since 2004. I have a 6 year old son and I am paying 412.00 a month on child Support. I have never had an issue with paying Child Support because I did it with my previous marriage with no issues at all. The problem that I have is that I was recently mobilized as a reservist and yes I make more money now than before but this is temporary. I see my son 3 times a week at football practice and I have him every other weekend. I pay for his entry fee every year(Football,Tee-ball and basketball)I also spend money on her 11 year old daughter with no regrets. She noticed that I own 2 nice cars and immediately started asking questions about my income. I told her that it was none of her bussiness how I spend my money because my obligations are being met. A few months later i received a notification from the Attorney General of Texas for a Support Modification meeting. I am angry because I will be going back to my civilian job in a few months and if she gets an increase I won't be able to make it on the money I make in my civilian job. The Attorney General doesn't care about that. I know that if I request a modification hearing to decrease my support it will take monthst before the hearing therefore putting me in a financial bind. Here is what bothers me the most. She has an 11 year old daughter that her father has never paid a cent for child support but she never pursued him for any money. It is not my fault if she is not receiving money from him. I guess she thinks that an increase in my support can make up the difference. I am angry because I do so much more for my son and even her daughter.

An independent cost analysis of the Senate's healthcare reform bill
became ammunition for both parties on Friday, with Democrats defending
the analysis and Republicans calling it "a roundhouse blow" to the bill.
Richard Foster, chief actuary for the Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services -- a division of the Department of Health and Human Services -- issued a report late Thursday in response to a request by GOP Sen. Mike JohannsMichael (Mike) Owen JohannsMeet the Democratic sleeper candidate gunning for Senate in Nebraska Farmers, tax incentives can ease the pain of a smaller farm bill Lobbying World MORE (Neb.). The report studied the bill currently pending on the Senate floor, cobbled together by Majority Leader Harry ReidHarry Mason ReidAfter Dems stood against Pompeo, Senate's confirmation process needs a revamp GOP poised to advance rules change to speed up Trump nominees Dems walk tightrope on Pompeo nomination MORE (D-Nev.) from two different bills.
Republicans assailed the analysis, however, focusing on the increased spending of $234 billion from 2010 to 2019 that Foster noted, as well as various conclusions in his analysis that access to Medicare services could be jeopardized as the system grows to accomodate more Americans. Foster also found that the bill would reduce the number of uninsured Americans from 57 million to 24 million, which Republicans said still represents a failure.
"We had representations that the purpose of this health care reform was to decrease, to move down the healthcare costs. Now we find that this bill significantly increases the national healthcare expenditures," said Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.). "It appears the Reid bill clearly fails that test and gets an 'F' on the issue of vetting the healthcare costs down and on the issue of insuring everyone."

White House spokeswoman Linda Douglass, who heads the Obama administration's healthcare publicity effort, issued a statement accusing the GOP of distorting Foster's analysis.
"How did reform's opponents manage to use this report to claim that costs will increase?" Douglass said. "They cherry-picked total expenditures at a singular, fixed point in time – ignoring the overall rate of cost growth, the impact on Medicare and America's seniors, and the fact that millions of more Americans will be covered."

Crocheting has become a new hobby of mine. That means that throughout the course of this challenge you will likely see many of the crochet projects I come across on Pinterest.
I have never made a hat, as working in rounds seemed tricky at first. I finally gave it another shot and it worked. YAY! A few months back, my childhood friend, Nikki, gave birth to her second son, Collins. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen complications, Collins left his family and all those who loved him to be with God. After losing her beautiful son, Nikki decided to that something good should come out of such a tragedy. She started a cause called Caps from Collins. Through this cause, she collects and crochets caps that she then provides these caps to the NICU at a local hospital and to Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. The caps are given to the children in the NICU who are fighting for survival.
Nikki's story was what inspired me to learn to crochet. Being a mother of two, I could not imagine the pain of losing a child, and wanted to be able to help make the caps that are sent to those children fighting for their lives before they've even had a chance to begin living them.
I found the link to the Pin through AestheticNest. Anneliese has the original tutorial posted here, as well as a downloadable pattern here on Scribd.com. The pattern has several sizes you can use, to make the cap fit babies from 0 months up to 12 months.
Despite what the pattern called for, the only yarn I had available at the time I made this was Bernat Baby Sport yarn. It was leftover from an afghan I had just finished for a friend. To make the cloche a little thicker, I opted to use two colors of the Baby Sport: Peach Blossom and Baby Pink. Then I used one strand of the Soft Yellow to make the flower. I still used an size H hook to get the gauge right.
I love the eyelets at the bottom of the cloche. They give it a girly touch.
And in the end, the hat kind of looks like it belongs back in the 20s on a flapper girl. I think I'm going to try one using brown and a baby pink yarn, or maybe a sage green, to give it a vintage feel!

He has to be out there, caught in the seaweed at the bottom of Chesapeake Bay, with the fish and crabs having a party, getting as bloated as the fat Wassermann twin lying on the slab at the Norfolk morgue.
Dean wanted to explain it was far more of a shock seeing a bloated Billie or Willie Wassermann with a head looking like a bleached basketball, but simply nodded instead.
We're picking up information in Maryland and we tagged where the family did in the Wassermann boys.
View more
He rose and, taking the arm of the attendant, steered the young man out to the slab where Wassermann was unaware of the turmoil he'd created.
The word is someone did in Wassermann over on the Eastern Shore and the tide carried him out in the middle of the Chesapeake.
I saw your buddy Billie Wassermann Friday night, Dean said.
While Dean was tactful enough not to mention it, it had, however, taken two weeks for Billie Wassermann to come home to port.
At least somebody else would get the distasteful task of telling a wailing Mrs. Wassermann one of her bouncing baby boys was stretched out on a marble slab in Norfolk, Virginia.
Willie Wassermann had popped up, so to speak, on Thursday morning, so Dean was 65 dollars richer from the office pool.
Ida Wassermann was the mother of the Wassermann twins, a pair of 30-year-old misfits whose I.Q.'s didn't equal their waist sizes.

Later that week, we'd find out that the first subject it'd professionally shoot would be Akon (!) for a Chamber of Commerce undertaking. Akon was a really cool guy (as one might expect) and he had the entire room captivated and laughing for the entirety of the shoot.
By this point in time, we were already comfortable with the camera, and we were particularly excited about its in-camera 4K Ultra HD capabilities. Because the FS5 gives us the option to shoot in 4k, but then edit in 1080p, we're able to essentially "fake" a two camera interview shoot—having both a close up and a wide shot with no loss of quality. This will save our clients money on both the production and post-production sides of things.
Another feature of the FS5 that will save our clients time and money is its two Internal XLR inputs. With two XLR inputs, we can record high quality audio with our wireless lav or shotgun mic (or both, simultaneously) directly hooked into the camera. This reduces the amount of time spent in editing since we no longer need to manually sync the audio and video.
We've also appreciated the camera's mobility, particularly when we had to bring it onto our plane ride to San Diego for a client's shoot in February. While it's not quite as small as a DSLR, the FS5 was very transportable. This has also made our lives easier for events, convention shoots, man on the street interviews or any type of shoot that requires a lot of moving around.
Among the camera's other notable features are its dual memory card slots. This allows us to film in continuity for longer periods of time than ever before (very helpful for events, speeches, live performances, etc.) The FS5 is also the first Super35 camera with a built-in variable ND filter, so even in bright conditions it's able to shoot with a shallow depth of field, without the need for additional filters or a matte box.
Upon ordering the camera, we were a little nervous about some of its Codec issues we'd read about online. However, those problems were fixed with a firmware update right before we'd purchased it, so this ended up being a non-issue for us.
Perhaps our favorite thing about the FS5 is its in-camera 240fps ultra slow motion setting. This can add dramatic effect to nearly any video project. The FS5 shoots up to 240fps in 1080p resolution. Here's a short sample of some of our slowmo footage.

Renault CEO under pressure as lieutenant quits
The departure of Renault's
Chief Operating Officer Patrick Pelata resigned on Monday, taking the flak for an embarrassing fiasco in which Renault fired three executives on suspicion of leaking information on electric vehicles who turned out to have done nothing wrong.
Pelata's departure safeguards Ghosn's high profile role as head of both Renault and Nissan. But the clumsy handling of the affair and its fallout also raise questions about Renault's management.
Renault's image has taken a serious hit and the whole scandal won't go away with Pelata's departure, said Christian Jimenez, a fund manager and president of Diamant Bleu Gestion in Paris.
Unfortunately, it was inevitable to see heads rolling, but it doesn't change the fact that investors' confidence in Renault's management has been shaken, he said, though he added that Ghosn should still bounce back from this crisis.
Pelata had offered his resignation in March, when Renault admitted it had been tricked, but Ghosn refused to accept it, saying he did not want to add one crisis to another.
The management about-turn highlights the scale of government involvement in decision-making at Renault, which is 15-percent state-owned.
Ghosn will now face the challenges of Renault's new strategic plan without his key ally. And while Pelata will not leave immediately and will stay with the Renault-Nissan alliance, it is not immediately obvious who will replace him.
The French carmaker's six-year strategic plan, revealed in February, disappointed investors who were hoping for concrete steps to revamp the financial structure of the 12-year alliance and squeeze more value from it.
The implementation of the plan, which prioritizes international growth in a bid to boost profitability, will be key if Ghosn wants to win kudos from shareholders.
Renault is also taking a big gamble as it readies the launch of the first of the electric cars it hopes will make it a mass-market leader in the burgeoning technology later this year.
The Ghosn-Pelata double-act has worked well until now ... so it could be difficult to quickly find a replacement, which is a real problem, CM-CIC analysts wrote. Without Pelata at the helm, this plan could be disrupted, even delayed by six months to a year.
Ghosn and Pelata met at university and had perfected their complementary roles over many years of cooperation, with Ghosn handling strategy and Pelata implementation.
This decision (Pelata's exit) seems symptomatic of the group's management methods and of the involvement of the state in the group's internal affairs, the CM-CIC analysts wrote.
Government spokesman Francois Baroin said on Tuesday the state had never called for Carlos Ghosn's head though it did want sanctions.
There were investigations, the chain of responsibility was determined, measures have been taken and we take note of them, he told RTL radio.
By 1415 GMT, Renault shares were down 3.7 percent to 37.55 euros, one of the top fallers on the CAC-40 <.FCHI> index.

In the last installment of this series, I looked at several possible models that could eventually dominate (and/or replace) the way we watch television such as the Netflix and Roku models. But those don't allow for passive viewing, which I still believe is a significant factor for the television audience, but which could be on the decline.
Passive viewing is essentially channel-surfing; looking to see what is on as opposed to sitting down and watching something in particular. Us guys are particularly fond of passive viewing as a way to pass the time and vegetate in front of the television. When I am flipping through the channels, I am looking for something to fill up some space but also something that's not necessarily too demanding on the grey matter. If I happen to see an episode or Seinfeld or Friends or Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives (or Gilligan's Island), I may put it on just as a temporary distraction. And I may just watch ten minutes or I may end up getting sucked into multiple episodes and blowing off an hour or two. But I didn't approach that particular viewing experience with a time commitment in mind. However, if I go to Netflix or Hulu or Amazon to watch an episode of Sense8 or Arrow or even Star Trek, I have typically committed to watching an entire episode or more. So even if I am just going to one of those services to fill up time, I'm going to stick it out for at least an episode.
The newer viewing models have definitely changed the way we consume television, and have brought on new trends like binge-watching. But they haven't done away with passive viewing and I still believe that many people watch TV that way. They look at it more as background noise or something they are paying partial attention to and may only give their full attention for short periods of time. Of course this way of watching television became popular back when the old broadcast model was superseded by the remote control dominated cable/satellite model. But that is almost certainly in its twilight now, and maybe passive viewing will eventually die out as well.
Or maybe it will change along with the newer models that are becoming more prominent now. There is plenty of show surfing you can do on Netflix. Hulu, Amazon, and Roku offers plenty of channel-surfing even if it has a different result than searching through cable/satellite channels. Hulu starts playing the next episode in a series you are watching after one ends, or if you are at the end of that show's episodes it starts up an episode of (what it considers) a similar series. This is in line with the passive viewing trait of leaving the television on for whatever comes on next. So passive viewing could continue, just in a somewhat different form.
Of course, the loss of passive viewing in its current form may not necessarily be a bad thing. I would estimate that a large part of the data that the Nielsens collect for the overnight ratings (the ones that networks and advertisers pay the most attention to, no matter what they may tell you) is based on passive viewing. Since that is coming from the people with meters sitting in front of the television, they may have tuned in for a show, then just left the set going afterwards while they are doing other things. Or they may have been channel surfing and just landed on a show that they decided to watch part of. I don't have any hard data to confirm my assumptions, but since we have seen such a large shift to delayed viewing over the past few years, this would seem to follow from common sense. And it is yet another argument for how the Nieslens are not representative of the viewing public.
And perhaps passive viewing as it currently exists will not provide too much of a barrier to the changing of the television landscape, though I do believe that there are plenty of coach potatoes out there that will be reluctant to switch for that particular reason. But once the snowball starts rolling, this idiosyncrasy of the cable/satellite model will almost certainly die off or adapt with the new model.
Next up: When the television landscape does change, will sci fi shows still get cancelled?


text: I would appreciate some comment on the effect of the contact area in a bolt-on neck joint (sorry if this has been done before, but a forum search didn't find anything). First a disclaimer - don't try this on your own bass unless you know what you are doing. I have a USA Precision that is a really nice, resonant bass (maple/rosewood neck, ash body) but had a bit of a dead spot on the top G string, 5th fret, not something I really expected in a graphite-reinforced neck. I risked pulling the neck to check the joint and found the join was essentially bits of paper with bar codes and dates. Do Fender use sticky paper to help assembly? Anyway, all this was carefully removed (and kept) and surfaces cleaned up. I didn't go as far as removing the finish for a wood-on-wood joint as Godin claim they do for some of their guitars. On re-assembly the dead spot was all but gone. So one of my favourite basses is now better than before. Or am I imagining all this? I think physics says that waves are best transferred between surfaces with identical properties (propagation velocity?) so could it be that the paper labels were reflecting back vibration and nulling certain notes? I don't have much experience with these things so I would certainly appreciate comment from the experts out there.

text: Just bought a 95 Honda Civic. This is a complete project car for me. The car is clean. After visiting the local mechanic to get a printout of problems it came back with a clean bill of health except needs a front end alignment. Naturally the D17B7 needs to come out... But my question is .... what will go in with relative ease. I was thinking maybe a B18C GSR. But to be honest. Never touched a Honda before my last project car was a Volkswagen Golf. So any hints on what can easily be dropped into the 95 Civic but also needing something I can either Turbo or Supercharge ( haven't decided yet... leaning more toward Supercharge cause I Turbo'd the Golf )!?!

Firstly, blogger is a broad term. I wouldn't say I am a 'blogger'. I am a person who blogs. An individual enjoying a hobby that happens to be writing a blog. I would not put myself in the same calibre as someone who makes a lot of money out of doing it – maybe one day but right now, I am happy to enjoy the ride until I get there. Hats off to those making a sustainable living out of it because it's not easy.
Secondly, blogging is hard work. Had someone told me the amount of time and effort required into setting up and maintaining a blog, I'd never had started one. Thankfully no one did and here I am today absolutely loving every minute of it but seriously, it isn't easy. Never in a million years did I ever see myself trying to learn what on earth SEO is on what would usually have been my lazy duvet day Sundays. I even took it upon myself to gain a diploma in blogging and content marketing in the spare time that I had. Attending events is hard work, attending anything nowadays is hard work because always in the back of your mind is how to capture the best photos and your mind and memory working overtime to draft up a post in your head ready to jot down when you get home. (note to self: invest in Dictaphone) Plus, trying to get your content and photos seen in this huge blogosphere is tough when there is just so many of us out there doing it!
Blogging is expensive. Despite the sponsored content, the 'freebies'* and the events, blogging comes at a cost. When you get into it, you find yourself wanting all the gear – even with no idea! I recently invested in the new Olympus Pen E-PL8 – did I need it? No. It has considerably upped my photography game already though and I haven't even learnt how to use it properly but that was £600 I would never have spent if it wasn't for 'blogging'. The parking charges and/or travel costs when you attend events all add up over the year too. Last year I spent £370 on trains, parking and petrol travelling to events. I could have a holiday for that! Walking into a shop and seeing something that would look good 'in the background' on Instagram photos. Yeah, that £15 mug from John Lewis will look lovely with a Hudson filter. I find myself 'prop-shopping' in Primark every time I go into town now and can easily spend £20 on things that will live in a box until they come out for a photoshoot.
People can be very nasty. Sadly, I have had my share of negative people so far and whilst it's very sad, it hasn't affected my determination to continue. #SorryNotSorry. What doesn't kill you makes your stronger right. I had a 'friend' who ran a secret blog who I told about mine when I first started and was very excited about obviously. A few months later, I found her blog and found posts written about me and how I always made her feel inferior. One that mentioned how she had her blog for years and never had the opportunities I'd been given in just a few months. Another that mentioned that I ran faster in a race that we both competed in. A series entitled 'Why I Stopped Comparing Myself To Others'. I was in shock to find this considering we had become close friends, never had I felt I was making her feel that way nor did I feel I ever did anything to make someone inclined to write about that on the internet. There have been instances where there were tweets directed towards me, assertive messages about one thing or another and people being down right rude and awkward but you know what; I'll continue to be myself. I know I am a kind-hearted person and will do anything in my power to see someone happy so you keep doing you and I'll do the same. No one likes a Nega-Tron anyway.
People can be the nicest, most caring and supportive group of individuals you will ever meet. I have met and interacted with some amazing people since writing Sherry Scribbles, some genuine lifelong friendships. Whilst there are a select few I see on a regular basis outside of blogging for cocktails and catch-ups, it goes without saying that the ones I don't see as often are still just as important and supportive towards each other. Sherry Scribbles has recently turned two years old and in that time I have made more friends than I thought I would ever had. Sadly, it bears down to moving away a fair bit that caused previous friendships to deteriorate but also a lack of effort to keep in touch on both parts. When I moved to Nottingham with Ben 3 years ago now, I didn't have a lot of friends. Id moved to a new city and recently started a new job, left bad relationships behind and cut ties with my mother so I was finding it a bit difficult with my confidence and self esteem to get out there and meet people locally. I'd always had my best friend Heather by my side, Hannah a phone call away and always WhatsApp-ing Emma, I felt I didn't really have much of a social life though (FYI, Heather & Emma live 45 mins away and have their own lives to live and Hannah works crazy shifts so it's ever been easy planning things). Since starting the blog and participating in events, I have met some of the best group of friends a girl could ask for and now my diary is usually full of social events and exciting things and I have these girls to thank for bringing me back out of my shell and showing me a life worth living. You all know who you are.
*I just wanted to point out that whilst brands and PR companies may gift me items to review, they should never be considered as freebies. This is not the case by any means when it comes to having to use the product, put in the time to research, write up the review, take the photos and then market it effectively for optimum engagement. It should be classed as an alternative form of payment whereby the post is not sponsored by a brand specifically. There are too many people who want to start a blog just to get 'freebies' and this is not the case. A lot of hard work goes into even achieving these opportunities in the first place and they should never be expected.

Though he used to heavily favor the Acoustic Guitar, in this project Williams has been picking up the electric much more often and filling the traditional role of a rhythm guitarist with his non traditional style. While he still utilizes his trademark looping techniques they are not the focal point of the show as they used to be due to the presence of the three other musicians on stage. Also on the electric guitar is the New York based, but Virginia bred, Gibb Droll. Backing up these two guitar heroes as the rhythm section are Jeff Sipe on Drums and local favorite Keith Moseley on bass.
While the setlist is sure to draw heavily on Williams own catalogue he has been known to surprise audiences with an outrageous cover or three. It should also be mentioned that the potential for suprises increased dramatically when it was announced that Billy Nershi would be handling the opening duties as part of one of his current projects, The Emmitt Nershi Band. Some of magic that Keller created with Mosely & Nershi's previous band, the Boulder based String Cheese Incident, may be rekindled as the WMD'S sets have been stretching up to 3 or more hours. With their well-known penchant for sit-ins there is sure to be plenty of time for the old friends to delight fans and get reacquainted musically Saturday night.
The WMD'S
Venue: The Fillmore Auditorium, 1510 Clarkson Street, Denver, CO 80218 – (303)837-0360
*Approximate Set Times:
The Emmitt Nershi Band – 7:30 PM
The WMD'S – 8:45
*All times and prices are gathered from other sources and I am not responsible for mistakes or inconsistencies. They are intended only as guidelines. Please, always call the venue if you desire the most accurate information possible.
Who Is Timothy Dwenger
Music has always been a part of my life. It probably all started listening to old Grateful Dead, Peter Paul & Mary, and Simon & Garfunkel records that my parents had, but it wasn't long before they were taking me to concerts like Starship, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and Huey Lewis & The News. I got the bug to write about music after reviewing an Eric Clapton concert for a creative writing project in high school but didn't really take it up seriously until 2002. Since then I have published countless articles in The Marquee Magazine and done some work for Jambase.com, SPIN Magazine, and various other outlets. I started Listen Up Denver! as a way to share the music information that is constantly spilling out of my head with people who care. Please enjoy!

But seriously I don't get the whole space banana thing. I get a fantastic orange flower and neroli with a little of whatever that plummy aldehyde is and some beautiful amber amber and vanilla. Truly a beautiful fragrance.

Scottish Invasion-With Guitars!
If someone starts talking about Scottish music, your mind probably conjures up an image of a man in a skirt *cough * kilt holding a bagpipe and blaring "Amazing Grace" across the moors of his simple, rustic village.
Think about it longer though….
-Belle & Sebastian's gorgeous indie masterworks.
-Franz Ferdinand's wild '80s dance party.
-Snow Patrol's smooth, radio-friendly ballads.
-KT Tunstall's breezy, bouncy folk-pop.
It doesn't readily come to mind, but a buttload of the best music these days comes from Scotland. The good news, is another invasion is on its way! These are some of the bands fighting on the frontlines.
The 1990s aren't about changing your life or exploring the boundaries of rock music. They're about dumb, fun rock n' roll, and with summer vacation on the horizon, that's exactly what we need. Crispy guitar riffs and punchy power pop songs from a group of guys who refuse to grow up. During one song they ask, "Why don't you try taking drugs again? You were never funnier than you were back then!" Great advice? No…. Hilarious? Yes.
Heck, the new guy in the group is named Dino, so you know they tear it up. "Kickstrasse," the lead single from their new album, shows the lead singer hasn't lost his "you wanna be me, don't you?" swagger. Stupid and fun.
The Twilight Sad
(Sadly, they have nothing to do with vampires.)
This is a good band that suddenly got great. They started a few years back with solid songs but didn't venture beyond a fairly conventional alt rock sound. Well, let's say they were as conventional as a rock band can be with an accordion.
Recently these guys got the "less is more" memo—they dropped the heavy drumming and by-the-books guitar noodling and created some weird and wonderful folk-rock noise. It's odd to find music that is subdued and chaotic, but that's pretty much what Here, It Never Snowed. Afterwards It Did sounds like.
Oh, and it should be mentioned you can really hear this guy's Scottish brogue. It's kind of like if Groundskeeper Willy from the Simpsons started fronting an indie band.
This band doesn't release music. Their music ARRIVES, as if descended from the sky and pulled by flaming chariots. You get lots of "woah-ohhh!"s and anthemic choruses, kind of like U2 without the saving-the-world part. The atmospheric, shimmering guitars are straight out of The Joshua Tree but the vocals are more human and less perfect than Bono's, which helps bring this sky-high music back to earth, at least long enough to share its greatness with us mere mortals.
If you want some of that authentic Scottish folk music, the kind they play at Scottish heritage fests where old people cavort around in goofy outfits no real Scot has worn in centuries, this is your band. You can practically hear the rustling of the kilts as they rattle away on their fiddles, accordions and steel guitars.
Any other love for Scottish music? Or is Irish music way better?!

Animated film shows last minutes of girl attacked in Manchester
A film depicting the murder of Sophie Lancaster, 20, was shown to a crowd of hundreds in Manchester last fortnight, in the hope of raising awareness of prejudice towards subcultures.
The two-minute-long animation, which shows Sophie and her boyfriend, Robert Maltby, being kicked to death in a Lancashire park, was screened for the first time outside Manchester's Urbis on what would have been Lancaster's 23rd Birthday. The film was commissioned by make-up brand Illamasqua, and directed by the award winning French director Fursy Teyssier.
Lancaster and Maltby were attacked in August 2007, simply because of the way they looked. Both were 'Goths' and were approached by a gang of youths in Stubbylee Park, Bacup, before being kicked in the head, Lancaster suffering fatal injuries.
Maltby, a student in Manchester, went into a coma but came out of it two weeks later. During the trial, in which two teenage boys were found guilty of murder, the Judge said: "This was a terrible case which has shocked and outraged all who have heard about it. At least wild animals, when they hunt in packs, have a legitimate reason for so doing, to obtain food. You have none and your behaviour on that night degrades humanity itself."
Sophie: Dark Angel brought in huge crowds, most of whom were Goths themselves. Despite it being freezing cold, the atmosphere was positive, with many of Lancaster's friends and family present. After a speech from her mother, Sylvia Lancaster, the film was shown to a silent crowd. Most were moved to tears, as the animation shows Lancaster's spirit breathing life into her boyfriend, an act of sacrifice for someone she loved.
James Reed, who had come to watch the film in support of its message said: "I think it's something that kids definitely should watch, so that they understand that they should tolerate people that choose to be different." He also describes his own experience of bullying; "Well, I've been called 'mosher' before and things like that. I do have some kids around where I live, and they don't understand… some accept me, some don't, but I choose not to give in to intimidation because this is who I am."
Sophie: Dark Angel is now available to watch on youtube and will also be played during ad breaks on popular global music channel MTV. For more information about the work that Sylvia Lancaster is doing visit The S.o.p.h.i.e (Stamp Out Prejudice, Hatred and Intolerance Everywhere) Foundation Website at www.sophielancasterfoundation.com.

Glamourous Ginza and pretty pastries
On Saturday morning, we headed out to glitzy Ginza, where we had a beautiful 10-course degustation lunch at Restaurant Yonemura, in celebration of Rob's birthday (click for review). I consider this meal to be the best western-style meal I've had in Japan. One of the most expensive too, but it was worth it. The restaurant is located on the fourth floor of one of the nicest department stores I've ever set foot inside.
The entrance to Restaurant Yonemura; the fifth floor of the same department store even had a crystal chandelier!:
For those that don't know, Ginza is the most exclusive and expensive shopping area in Japan. And indeed, that is the truth - the department stores are probably the most swankiest and glitziest I've ever seen, and there are huge stores of exclusive brands like Dior and Chanel. We saw an 8-storey Gucci building! In fact, it is called the Gucci Ginza Tower. I took a photo of it, but it looks quite ordinary compared to the photo on their website. Now, I don't care much for brand names (much less for clothing brands), but an 8-storey Gucci tower?! Perhaps only in Ginza..
On this Saturday, the streets of Ginza were packed with well-dressed shoppers and not-so-well-dressed gaijin tourists. Some parts of the streets were closed off for pedestrian-only access, and here we see gaijins street performers busking. We dropped by the Sony Building and browsed through the latest Sony technology - we were amazed by the display of walkmans, laptops, TVs, cameras and many other electronic goods on four floors of this building. If you're ever in Ginza (for a dining experience like we were, perhaps?), I'd recommend dropping by the Sony Building.
One of the main intersection in Ginza; a puppeteer busker:
We also stopped by the Ginza branch of a well-known patisserie, Sadaharu Aoki. I've heard that the Japanese patissiers have excelled at perfecting the art of French pastries better than the French themselves. I can't really verify that statement myself since I have yet to go to France and try the French pastries there, but the ones in this shop looked gorgeous. I'm not that big on pastries myself, but Rob loves the buttery treats. I'd heard a lot about the Sadaharu's eclairs, so we settled upon a chocolate eclair. Beautifully presented, it was almost a shame to eat it. This is definitely a luxurious treat, as one eclair fetches 550yen (~AU$5.50).

Aaah, so you finally found a place that puts the pan in Japan? Ha, get it? Pan = Bread? Sorry... that's terrible. I loved bakeries in Japan... was massively addicted to them. I really wish we had those here...ReplyDelete
Ginza was pretty awesome, but I felt kind of out of place. Ok, a lot out of place. Why? I'm not rich. There was a Louis Vuitton building there from memory, as well as the Sony building, several very pricey jewellery stores, uh... I remember trying to get perfume for Tash from something like the Gucci or D&G building, and they only sold the sunnies... I ended up getting it at the airport, not the main building in Ginza. Go figure. The Sony building reminded me of everything I've always wanted but couldn't have too, because Japan uses 110-120V 20A 60 Hz and Australia uses 240V 10A 50 Hz. So annoying -_-... I felt the same pangs of pain when running around Akihabara, the electronics district. 500 GB caddy'd external hard drives, funky computers, everything I wanted... just taunting me...
Haha, that's a horrible pun. Technically, it's not a bakery. Sadaharu Aoki is a true patiserrie in the sense that there were lots of beautiful (and expensive!) cakes and pastries, no bread. And yeah, we love the pan-ya in Japan - awesome variety, and they are always excellent quality.ReplyDelete
Ginza is definitely not our scene. We were only there for the food, which was excellent. Still, I couldn't help but feel out of place in my jeans and sneakers, eventhough I had a nice top on.
Oh, and I just heard from Honey. I hope it goes well ;) especially since I feel like an 'enabler' here.
I wasn't going to say anything :P But international advertising on my behalf? You're nicer than I thought...ReplyDelete
I loved eating melon bread for the first time that I went there... so delicious... I'd seen it so many times in anime, but never had the chance to eat it... yummmmmm........

Advisers need to focus on the need for the insurance, and the consequences of not having it, before any discussion of the products can be brought into the conversation.
This is the view of Chris McNab, protection product manager for LV, who comments: "The benefit of critical illness cover (CIC) is that when advisers get to the point of a conversation in which they suggest the product as a solution to their client's needs, advisers can usually align the product clearly to each individual.
"For example, the client may be concerned about a particular type of illness because they know people affected by it, in which case advisers can focus on how the product provides cover for that."
He also suggests advisers might like to ensure the client's children are covered, in which case they could focus on children's cover, which is automatically included in the majority of CIC products.
According to Chris Atkinson, head of innovation for Zurich UK Life, the conversation is about "the reality of life and what can help us deal with life's blows".
He comments: "It's often more important to set the correct tone of conversation rather than worrying about the technicalities."
Tools to use
Most providers offer some form of calculators or online tools to help advisers engage their clients in conversation about protection.
For example, LV provides a risk reality calculator, which advisers can use to help identify the likelihood of something happening to the client before they plan to retire.
According to Mr McNab: "This sort of tool can be useful in starting the conversation around providing protection against illnesses or medical conditions."
Simple questions
According to Mr McNab and Peter Le Beau, founder of Le Beau Visage, some key questions to get the protection conversation started can include:
- How would you cope financially if you could never work again?
- What would you do if you could not work for a prolonged period of time?
- How would you pay for adapting your family home if you had to make them as a result of an illness or medical condition?
- What would happen to your finances if you became seriously ill?
- What does your employer give you in terms of sick pay?
"People rarely factor ill-health into their financial planning", according to Mr Le Beau.
When to bring this up in the client-adviser relationship is "early", according to Phil Jeynes, head of sales and marketing for UnderwriteMe.
He comments: "Most clients don't come to an adviser for protection cover - they're after a mortgage, or investment advice.
"If the topic of CIC comes up at the very end of the conversation, if they have already got what they came for, then protection advice is at risk of being consider to be an optional extra or an up-sell.
"The best sellers of CIC introduce it at the outset, pointing out that protection is a foundation upon which a broader financial strategy can be built."
Ultimately, according to Alan Lakey, adviser for Highclere Financial Services and founder of the CI Expert, protection purchases are "emotional".
He explains: "It will depend on each client and an adviser will make a judgement call, taking various factors into account, such as gender, whether the client has children and what is the client's budget.

WKMG TV Interviews Ravich on Drone Legal Issues
WKMG TV Orlando recently interviewed Timothy Ravich, assistant professor of legal studies, about drones and legal issues for a segment named Neighbors complain of drones flying over Winter Park.
In addition, the station posted a "Web Extra" featuring a three-minute interview of Ravich named Drone legal issues.
"Broady speaking, what you're on to is the idea that the law lags behind technology," said Ravich. "It always has. When we had automobiles, when we first had airplanes, the law struggled to control this technology."

Bringing order to your boxedup lists! (and a few other things to make life easier)
This one's been too long in coming (and has probably been the most requested feature – thanks for all the feedback!), but better late than never!
So after a fair bit of deliberating about the best way to do ordering/sorting/prioritising of the things on your lists, we've settled on drag & drop so that you can just put things in priority order.
So when you're on the list that you want to shuffle the order of you'll see a new link in the 'Things to do' box (which is to the right of the list, at the top) called 'Re-order this list'. So just click on that and the re-order page will open up (see screenshot below). Then all you need to do is left-click on 'drag' next to the item that you want to move, and then just drag it to the position that you want it to be in on the list.
Here's what the re-order page looks like, and the link to open this page has the red arrow pointing at it:
So drag and drop away, and get those lists in order!
We've also added a few other links to the 'Things to do' box to make various things easier and more obvious. These include links to edit the list name and to create a new list. And we've added a link to this blog so that you can easily check on what's new at any time when you come to the site.
We're always working to improve the site, so if you have any thoughts or comments just drop us a message through the message box on the help & info form, or through the messaging system on the site (we're at the top of your address list!).
That's all for now!
boxedup seasonal tips – helping to ensure you get all the things you really want!
'Tis the season to be jolly, and all that jazz! So we thought that we'd better give a few last-minute tips about how to get the most out of boxedup.com during this festive period.
A lot of those carefully compiled boxedup lists of the things that you want to get, from anywhere on the web, are now swinging into action as gift lists, and we hope you get all the things that you've been yearning for! So if you need to let people know about the existence of your list then make sure that you send them a boxedup friend invite, and they can then go through it and reserve the thing that they want to get you (we don't want you getting two of those things that you've always wanted, and only your friends can reserve things on your lists!).
And if you've been slacking a bit with your boxedup lists then freshen them up and share them out to avoid disappointment. It's not too late – last minute shopping is a habit of many, and they'll only thank you if you can lay out on a plate what it is that you'd love to get (and they won't waste any money on getting you something that will find its way straight into a cupboard or onto ebay!).
Now, we know that the whole element of surprise is really important to a lot of people, and if you're one of them we've recently built a feature into the boxedup lists that you'll like. In Settings (the link is at the top of the page on the right, when you're logged in), you'll find a section called 'Surprises' – just check that box and then when somebody reserves something on your list you won't see the 'reserved' message appear (but people visiting your lists will be able to see what has and hasn't been reserved). OK, so it won't be a total surprise, but it maintains some of the suspense!
So we hope you have a great festive season, and that you get all those things you really want!
And it just remains to say thanks for using boxedup – we hope you've been enjoying it! We're always working hard to make it better, so if you have any feedback then we'd love to hear it. Please either send it through the help & info form or by emailing us at email@example.com.

In this article by Hernan D Rojas author of the book Data Analysis and Business Modeling with Excel 2013 introduces additional materials to the advanced Excel developer in the presentation stage of the data analysis life cycle. What you will learn in this article is how to leverage Excel's new features to add interactivity to your spreadsheets.
(For more resources related to this topic, see here.)
What are slicers?
Slicers are essentially buttons that automatically filter your data. Excel has always been able to filter data, but slicers are more practical and visually appealing. Let's compare the two in the following steps:
- First, fire up Excel 2013, and create a new spreadsheet. Manually enter the data, as shown in the following figure:
- Highlight cells A1 through E11, and press Ctrl + T to convert our data to an Excel table. Converting your data to a table is the first step that you need to take in order to introduce slicers in your spreadsheet.
- Let's filter our data using the default filtering capabilities that we are already familiar with. Filter the Type column and only select the rows that have the value equal to SUV, as shown in the following figure. Click on the OK button to apply the filter to the table.
You will now be left with four rows that have the Type column equal to SUV.
Using a typical Excel filter, we were able to filter our data and only show all of the SUV cars. We can then continue to filter by other columns, such as MPG (miles per gallon) and Price. How can we accomplish the same results using slicers? Continue reading this article to find this out.
How to create slicers?
In this article, we will be going through simple but powerful steps that are required to build slicers. After we create our first slicer, make sure that you compare and contrast the old way of filtering versus the new way of filtering data.
- Remove the filter that we just applied to our table by clicking on the option named Clear Filter From "Type", as shown in the following figure:
- With your Excel table selected, click on the TABLE TOOLS tab.
- Click on the Insert Slicer button.
- In the Insert Slicers dialog box, select the Type checkbox, and click on the OK button, as shown in the following screenshot:
You should now have a slicer that looks similar to the one in the following figure. Notice that you can resize and move the slicer anywhere you want in the spreadsheet.
- Click on the Sedan filter in the slicer that we build in the previous step. Wow! The data is filtered and only the rows where the Type column is equal to Sedan is shown in the results.
- Click on the Sport filter and see what happens. The data is now filtered where the Type column is equal to Sport. Notice that the previous filter of Sedan was removed as soon as we clicked on the Sport filter.
- What if we want to filter the data by both Sport and Sedan? We can just highlight both the filters with our mouse, or click on Sedan, press Ctrl, and then, click on the Sport filter. The end result will look like this:
- To clear the filter, just click on the Clear Filter button.
Do you see the advantage of slicers over filters? Yes, of course, they are simply better. Filtering between Sedan, Sport, or SUV is very easy and convenient. It will certainly take less key strokes and the feedback is instant. Think about the end users interacting with your spreadsheet. At a touch of a button, they can answer questions that arise in their heads. This is what you call an interactive spreadsheet or an interactive dashboard.
Styling slicers
There are not many options to style slicers but Excel does give you a decent amount of color schemes that you can experiment with:
- With the Type slicer selected, navigate to the SLICER TOOLS tab, as shown in the following figure:
- Click on the various slicer styles available to get a feel of what Excel offers.
Adding multiple slicers
You are able to add multiple slicers and multiple charts in one spreadsheet. Why would we do this? Well, this is the beginning of a dashboard creation. Let's expand on the example we have just been working on, and see how we can turn raw data into an interactive dashboard:
- Let's start with creating slicers for # of Passengers and MPG, as shown in the following figure:
- Rename Sheet1 as Data, and create a new sheet called Dashboard, as shown here:
- Move the three slicers by cutting and pasting them from the Data sheet to the Dashboard sheet.
- Create a line chart using the columns Company and MPG, as shown in the following figure:
- Create a bar chart using the columns Type and MPG.
- Create another bar chart with the columns company and # of Passengers, as shown in the following figure. These types of charts are technically called column charts, but you can get away by calling them bar charts.
- Now, move the three charts from the Data tab to the Dashboard tab. Right-click on the bar chart, and select the Move Chart… option.
- In the Move Chart dialog box, change the Object in: parameter from Data to Dashboard, and then click on the OK button.
- Move the other two charts to the Dashboard tab so that there are no more charts in the Data tab.
- Rearrange the charts and slicers so that they look as closely as possible to the ones in the following figure. As you can see that this tab is starting to look like a dashboard.
- The Type slicer will look better if Sedan, Sport, and SUV are laid out horizontally. Select the Type slicer, and click on the SLICER TOOLS menu option.
- Change the Columns parameter from 1 to 3, as shown in the following figure. This is how we are able to change the layout or shape of the slicer.
- Resize the Type slicer so that it looks like the one in the following figure:
Clearing filters
You can click on one or more filters in the dashboard that we just created. Very cool! Every time we select a filter, all of the three charts that we created get updated. This again is called adding interactivity to your spreadsheets. This allows the end users of your dashboard to interact with your data and perform their own analysis. If you notice, there is really a no good way of removing multiple filters at once. For example, if you select Sedans that have a MPG of greater or equal to 30, how would you remove all of the filters? You would have to clear the filters from the Type slicer and then from the MPG slicer. This can be a little tedious to your end user, and you will want to avoid this at any cost. The next steps will show you how to create a button using VBA that will filter all of our data in a flash:
- Press Alt + F11, and create a sub procedure called Clear_Slicer, as shown in the following figure. This code will basically find all of the filters that you have selected and then manually clears them for you one at a time. The next step is to bind this code to a button:
Sub Clear_Slicer() ' Declare Variables Dim cache As SlicerCache ' Loop through each filter For Each cache In ActiveWorkbook.SlicerCaches ' clear filter cache.ClearManualFilter Next cache End Sub
- Select the DEVELOPER tab, and click on the Insert button. In the pop-up menu called Form Controls, select the Button option.
- Now, click anywhere on the sheet, and you will get a dialog box that looks like the following figure. This is where we are going to assign a macro to the button. This means that whenever you click on the button we are creating, Excel will run the macro of our choice. Since we have already created a macro called Clear_Slicer, it will make sense to select this macro, and then click on the OK button.
- Change the text of the button to Clear All Filters and resize it so that it looks like this:
- Adjust the properties of the button by right-clicking on the button and selecting the Format Control… option. Here, you can change the font size and the color of your button label.
- Now, select a bunch of filters, and click on our new shiny button. Yes, that was pretty cool. The most important part is that it is now even easier to "reset" your dashboard and start a brand new analysis. What do I mean by start a brand new analysis? In general, when a user initially starts using your dashboard, he/she will click on the filters aimlessly. The users do this just to figure out how to mechanically use the dashboard. Then, after they get the hang of it, they want to start with a clean slate and perform some data analysis. If we did not have the Clear All Filters button, the users would have to figure out how they would clear every slicer one at a time to start over. The worst case scenario is when the user does not realize when the filters are turned on and when they are turned off. Now, do not laugh at this situation, or assume that your end user is not as smart as you are. This just means that you need to lower the learning curve of your dashboard and make it easy to use. With the addition of the clear button, the end user can think of a question, use the slicers to answer it, click on the clear button, and start the process all over again. These little details are what that is going to separate you from the average Excel developer.
The aim of this article was to give you ideas and tools to present your data artistically. Whether you like it or not, sometimes, a better looking analysis will trump the better but less attractive one. Excel gives you the tools to not be on the short end of the stick but to always be able to present visually stunning analysis. You now know have your Excel slicers, and you learned how to bind them to your data. Users of your spreadsheet can now slice and dice your data to answer multiple questions. Executives like flashy visualizations, and when you combine them with a strong analysis, you have a very powerful combination. In this article, we also went through a variety of strategies to customize slicers and chart elements. These little changes made to your dashboard will make them standout and help you get your message across. Excel as always has been an invaluable tool that gives you all of the tools necessary to overcome any data challenges you might come across. As I tell all my students, the key to become better is simply to practice, practice, and practice.

text: Hi mentors! I am with one doubt. I have a program that creates some binary files and a static library (no shared library). After talking with the upstream author, he said that his program is very stable and it makes everything that he wants (and he won't modify it to include dynamic libraries, for example). The Debian Library Packaging Guide suggests this: === Using statically linked libraries open up a can of worms. Even if upstream does not come up with a shared library, it might be better to use the -release flag to add a Debian specific version string, like debian.20020512. Constructing the version number including the string debian, and the date should make the version number unique. === Now the doubt: do I provide the static library only or do I create shared librarys, as suggested? Thank you! Best regards, Nelson

With Phytoceramides being in the news these days, knowing and understanding potential Phytoceramides dangers is more important than ever. This "miracle pill" that fights aging has been getting a lot of press, so here are the facts.
What Are Phytoceramides?
Getting older is something we all know is going to happen, but try with every ounce of our being to fight as it happens—even Florida was discovered by explorers searching for the Fountain of Youth! Anti-aging devices and products have been a long-elusive subject, mostly carrying as much myth with it as DeLeon's legendary Fountain of Youth.
But a new supplement on the market, Phytoceramides, promises to change all of that and if celebrity use, Dr. Oz's endorsement and wildly successful clinical trials are any indication, Phytoceramides are the real deal when it comes to anti-aging.
Which Celebrities Are Using Phytoceramides?
Celebrities such as Cindy Crawford, Kelly Ripa, Ellen DeGeneres and Jennifer Aniston have all publicly admitted to using the supplement, harnessing their powerful effect to get them the smooth, soft, wrinkle-free skin that the camera demands. But you don't have to be a celebrity or a millionaire to get the age-defying benefits of Phytoceramides—they're available to everyone.
What are the Phytoceramides Dangers?
Phytoceramides or "Ceramosides" are a super-strong antioxidant that drastically retards the rate at which free radicals damage your skin. They also boost your collagen and elastin production by triggering powerful peptide blends.
As the free radical damage slows down, so does the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and dry, leathery skin. The increase in collagen production helps bring back the firmness your skin had in youth and the elastin brings back the springy, elasticity that signals healthy, youthful skin.
What Phytoceramides Dangers Should You Look Out For?
In order to avoid any potential Phytoceramides dangers, you should only buy this product directly from the manufacturer. This will ensure the highest quality ingredients and of course a money back guarantee on your purchase.
What makes Phytoceramides even more unique is that unlike other anti-aging skin care products, you don't apply this topically—you take the supplement orally to affect changes on your skin from the inside out. This is change that truly works, helping to get you the following results:
Instantly reverse signs of aging
Vanish fine lines and wrinkles
Reduce the appearance of age spots
Get rid of bags under your eyes
Firms and lifts facial skin
