Anyone else craving a getaway?
I can't stop checking airline sites for ticket sales—I'm dying for a little sun!
So I figured today was the perfect day for a honeymoon post!
I checked in with Katie—the travel agent I told you about who specializes in honeymoons—to find the top five honeymoon hotspots of 2011. Which one would you like to visit?
Riviera Maya, Mexico
Perfect for couples who are looking to get away, but don't want the hassle of a 10+ hour flight! It's a quick trip from most U.S. cities and offers beautiful beaches and luxury resorts—most of which come with private pools and service fit for royalty. Nearby downtown Playa del Carmen is perfect for a night out.
Bali, Indonesia
It's like two or three honeymoons in one: You'll find beaches, jungles, and exotic culture, plus super-friendly people. Famous for its villas and private pools, it's a great destination for newlyweds who are desperate for some solitude and relaxation.
One of Europe's best-kept secrets! Europeans have been vacationing in Croatia for years, and recently it's been gaining popularity with Americans. The coastlines, small islands and unbelievable national parks are great for adventurous couples!
California Coast
One of the most popular destinations in the world, driving down California Coast makes for the perfect road trip honeymoon. Rent a fancy convertible and stop in small towns, go wine tasting, and enjoy the beautiful views and beautiful beaches.
__ South Africa __
Go on a safari to Kruger National Park, enjoy the lively city of Cape Town, admire Table Mountain and take a day trip to enjoy the spectacular Victoria Falls. South Africa has a little bit of everything.
Which of these honeymoon hotspots would you like to be in right now? (I'll take Bali! Who's coming with me?!) Would you choose any of these destinations for your honeymoon?

Track & Field News
Jakobe Ford will go for NWAC Jumps Triple Crown
The Freshman out of Shadle Park HS in Spokane, WA will be going after something this weekend that has never been accomplished in the history of NWAC Men's Track and Field. The Triple Crown. Currently Ford sits atop the NWAC marks this season in the High Jump (7'0 1/4") the Long Jump (24' 4 1/2") and the Triple Jump (49' 8 1/4").
Earlier this season Jakobe broke the Everett Community College All-Time High Jump record with his 7'0 1/4" mark. But that is not even his personal record. This winter he competed unnattached at an indoor track meet and jumped 7'4". That is currently in the top 3 in the nation out of all collegiate jumpers including NCAA Division I.
His triple jump mark of 49' 8 1/4" is currently 2nd all time at EvCC and his long jump mark of 24'4 1/2" is behind only EvCC legend Terry Metcalf's mark of 25'10" which just so happens to be the All Time NWAC record.
The NWAC Championships will be this May 21-22 at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham, OR.
A few of the most elite athletes in the history of the NWAC have won two of the three jumping events, but never all three. The last to win two was back in 2009, and the last Everett Community College Athlete to win two was Terry Metcalf winning the high jump and triple jump in 1970 and 1971.

You can see an example of how I used this technique on the project life page below to get the love this life word art on the top right photo, and for the love this on the bottom right photo:
The journaling card I am using today for this tutorial is from DDE's Besos Vol. II Journaling cards
First you want to open the journaling card you want to use in a photo editing program ( I use PSE 10):
With the Magic Wand tool, Select (left click) the element/shape you want to remove from the journaling card. Once it is selected you should see little marching ants around the element:
*tip: to select the inside of letters, like letters O and R here. Hold the shift key and click the inside of the letters so they are surrounded by marching ants too!*
Now you need to right click (with your mouse) on the selected element and it will pull up a menu that looks like the image below. Move you mouse down and highlight "Layer via Copy":
Once you do that you will see a copy of the selected element in your layers palate:
In the layers palate deselect the original layer of the journaling card and you should be left with the extracted element!! Voila!! Now you can drag and drop that element anywhere you want onto your Project Life layout!
A super simple and easy to use tutorial to make your project life pages all your own!!
Let me know if this works for you too, and how you plan on using it on your PL pages :)

Holiday is past tense now!
Came back from holiday two days before, the first day of my internship is finally here! it's my first job in the PR realm, and the company is what I'm dreaming for, everything's spectacular, but I'm rather panic rather than excited. This is my first job in London, and I dont have any work experience working in UK. Realising I'm going to be a master graduate, I eventually clam down my mind and decide to do some research to get ready for my first day. The hardest question for me is quite tricky: what should a PR intern wear? I was wearing a suit when I attending the interview, but I had found everyone in the company were wearing in smart causal.
So I did a lit bit research about PR professional's dress code. however, there are just few results i had got from google, and what even worse was I can not find even one mentioning male's outfit, so I suppose this is probably because the majority of PR practitioners are female, or this may just means male PR practitioners were too busy to write something about their outfit? even they just wear whatever they want and dont put too much attention on it.
"In the (many) years since graduation, I've made my way through this minefield in stages. The first stage was the "suit" stage where I was so excited to join the workforce and so keen to be taken seriously that I spent a clean fortune on suits and crisp, uncomfortable shirts to wear underneath them. I then learned that unless you drive a snazzy car to work with a VIP parking spot right next to the front door, suits are completely impractical. They get wet, they don't keep you warm and the trousers wear out well before the jackets."
I finally found something useful for me which suggest that I dont have to wear a suit for work, how exciting this news is:)
PS: I posted some photos on my Flickr of travel in Paris and Italy, have a look!

When a person or a company lies or misrepresents something to you or your
business, this may constitute civil fraud. If you rely on a fraudulent
misrepresentation or omission and suffer personal or financial loss as
a result, you may have a claim for damages.
If you have been the victim of fraud, or some other dishonest or deceptive
business practice, the effects can be serious and long lasting. Most commonly,
the fraudster steals your money or your goods or services, which can cause
devastating financial consequences.
Our skilled Atlanta business and civil fraud defense lawyer at The Rice
Law Firm, LLC has decades of legal experience representing individuals
and businesses that have been victims of fraud. Recently, The Rice Law
Firm, LLC obtained a multi-million dollar judgment against a business
that had defrauded one of our clients. We referred the evidence of fraud
that we uncovered to the FBI, and the president of the company was charged
and sent to federal prison.
Business deals sometimes do not work out as planned. Even when the parties
were honest and attempted to make a deal work, sometimes it just does
not. Unfortunately, unscrupulous people will cry "fraud" just
because their best case scenario did not come to fruition.
These unscrupulous people ignore other factors that may have caused the
business deal to fail, such as the economy or unrealistic expectations.
Sometimes, a particular deal may have had very little chance of success
even under ideal conditions.
Whatever the reason for a deal not succeeding, this does not mean that
there was fraud involved, and we may be able to stand by your side and
defend your rights in and out of the courtroom to clear your name.
Whether you have been accused of fraud or are a victim of fraud in Atlanta,
we have the skill and experience you need.

free case consultation over the phone or in our office. We can be reached at (404) 835-0783.

Pulsar's new vaporizer, Pulsar Sirius Vaporizer as the name suggests is indeed a serious one! It represents the latest generation of wax pen vaporizers. Before you see it you could think it's too good to be true but guess what!?It's real and here to stay!

Size of the vaporizer
The Pulsar Sirius Vaporizer is very portable, small enough to fit into any pocket. This means it can be used while on the move, anytime and anywhere. This is one product I would recommend all vapers to own. Trust me you will not regret it.

great and compact vape pen

Pulsar Sirius Vapor Wax Pen
First let me say, I did not buy from this online. But, I LOVE this vaporizer. My favorite part is the hidden silicone compartment for your concentration. Money well spent. I'm more then happy with this product. 🙂
I bought the dry herb attachment for it, but it failed on me. I was pretty bummed. I think i might have bought a bad one from the headshop, because when i look online it says it's one of the best ones. Sucks! Bad luck i guess. I do recommend buying the pen! You will not regret it. On the go! Always! Less spending time trying to heat your glass or ceramic up.

Ahhh, Google Juice. That glorious feeling of doing a Google search for your keywords and turning up on page one. Or better yet, number one page one.
Recently, I was asked to give a presentation to a local real estate company on why they need social media. They gave me 20 minutes. I only needed five.
First I showed them a quick video I had prepared on Canadian social media statistics, and secondly (and my favorite) I opened a web browser, brought up Google and did a search on my keywords. "Nova Scotia social media consultant". Go ahead… do it. We DOMINATE page one. (insert enormously proud grin) I told them, "The last thing I do each night is visit Google Analytics to measure the traffic to my site, clear my cache (to get a true reading) and perform (yet another) search for my keywords." It's true. My routine. The LAST thing I do each night. One particularly outspoken (and fun) guy in the group said, "Get a life".
I bet I'm not alone. It's said that the driving force behind the success of Facebook is vanity. I completely relate. And there is something COMPLETELY satisfying about "the feeling" of being in "control" of your Google ranking.
- First of all, admittedly (and luckily) there is not a lot of competition for my keywords. (Whew!)
- Second, you will notice a lot of links to my various social media profiles. Twitter, LinkedIn, Activerain, and my favorite, Facebook. Each of my social media accounts are optimized for my keywords. Yours should be too.
- And finally – I employ a little SEO.
What is SEO? Search engine optimization is the art making small modifications to parts of your website that could have a noticeable impact on your site's user experience and performance in organic search results. SEO is a quest for increased visibility in search engines via relevant copy, quality links, domain trust, social popularity and search engine connectivity.
Here are a couple of guides that helped me with SEO:
Google Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide Download
SEOmoz The Beginners Guide to SEO Download
Join Supernova Studios e-Club to download our SEO Guide and recieve our monthly newsletter.
Getting (long term) traffic from Google is about KEYWORDS and LINKS. It's about being relevant enough for a keyword search, and being trusted enough to rank for it.
To help improve your sites ranking:
- Use "Geo Keywords" in all your title tags and make sure each page has a unique title
- Make sure your meta-descriptions are unique and reference copy you have on your pages
- Link your pages to one another. Links are like lasers. When you link to a page, you heat the page you are linking to
- Make sure you use unique original copy. Google favors diversity
- Get quality inbound links. Google considers an inbound link from an authority site as a "vote" for your page
- Read Google Webmaster Guidelines and make sure you comply but do not use "Google Submit Your Site" to submit your site. Google prefers to find a link to your site on a site it already knows.
- Setup your Google Places account immediately. Read our blog for instructions.
- If you are totally lost, contact us.
What is a keyword? And specifically "geo" keywords.
When you're looking for a great pizza in a town you'll be visiting next week, you do what millions of other people do. You go to Google and type in "Pizza, any town" You ALWAYS include the town/city/location. That's the "geo" in geo-keywords. Note my keywords "Nova Scotia social media consultant" Someone in Nova Scotia searching for my services would (hopefully) perform a search using my keywords. Or possibly "Nova Scotia social media trainer". My site is optimized using these keywords. Specific pages within my site are optimized for various synomyms of my keywords.
What is a "quality inbound link"?
Inbound links are links from pages on external sites linking back to your site. Inbound links can bring new users to your site, and when the links are an authority source, they're also a positive signals to Google about your site's importance.
How can I get "quality inbound links"
Create Good Content: Nothing will serve you better when it comes to inbound links, and many other areas of your site, than creating good content. Writing an insightful blog post or creating a useful template or presentation will not only lead people to link to your site, but also drive traffic and build equity in your site and brand.
Directories can be a great inbound link source. Focus on local/industry-specific options if available.
Vendors/Suppliers These people or groups have a vested interest in helping you succeed. Explain to them that you're trying to increase your exposure on the web and that this will in turn help them as well.
Business Allies Business allies can include any type of business partner that you've worked or networked with that isn't a direct competitor.
Sponsorships / Charities / Associations If you serve on a Board, have made a significant contribution to a charity or are a member of an association, these groups are looking for ways to thank you and provide value in return — especially if it doesn't cost them any money.
Sure hope this helps, I'd be interested to hear from you about your results. Changing your page titles to include your Geo-keywords will take 5 minutes. Do it! Measure your traffic today and compare in 2 weeks. You can thank me then.
Almost forgot – I use the following tools to analyze my domain and keywords.
Open Site Explorer is a great SEO tool provided by SEOmoz at no cost. You can search up to 5 domains a day and learn all about how to improve your search engine rankings, how many domains link to your site, and how you stand out to Google.
Enter in your domain and you will get a list of important website metrics including page authority, domain authority, the number of linking domains to your site and the number of total links. They do give your Page and Domain an authority score out of 100, the higher the number the better.
1. Linking Pages: A List of pages linking to your site, they order them by page authority.
2. Top Pages: They tell you which pages on your site have the highest page authority.
3. Linking Domains: Shows the domains linking to your site, by highest domain authority.
4. Anchor Text Distribution: Tells you the text most commonly used when linking to your site, ordered by popularity.
5. Full List of Link Metrics: Tells you how many people that you link to link to you, vice-versa.
With Google's Free Keyword Tool Enter one keyword or phrase per line to see what related word searches your ad will show on. Here's a quick video on how to use this tool.
To your success! (unless of course we have the same keywords!) wink…

There's a reason we call it Colo[RAD]o.
As a native Coloradan, it's easy to say that Colorado is the best place to live. But it really depends on what your priorities are. For example, if you are an avid surfer, you may want to live elsewhere.
This is a (mostly) objective list of the pros and cons of living in The Centennial State, and what you can expect if you plan on moving to Colorado.
Pros of living in Colorado
The Views Are Incredible
The Rocky Mountains look good in any season, and gorgeous views can be found almost anywhere in the state. If you're in the Denver Metro area, just drive west, towards the mountains, and you will stumble upon a breathtaking, picturesque photo opp. By the way, if you're looking for a spot to take a beautiful photo of the Denver skyline and the mountains, head behind the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. I recommend going during sunset.
There Are Numerous Weekend Getaway Options
Colorado has 23 ski resorts and over 25 non-resort picturesque mountain towns, perfect for a quick vacation from the city. A few of my personal favorite weekend getaways include Pagosa Springs, Breckenridge and Colorado Springs.
One of the perks of living in the center of the country is the proximity to other states, making them viable weekend getaways. (Although, you will want 3+ days for some of these.) For example, Santa Fe, NM is only 5.5 hours from Denver and Lake McConaughy in Nebraska is 3.5 hours. Additional options include Salt Lake City (8 hours) and Yellowstone National Park (9 hours).
You Don't Have To Go Far To See Wildlife
I live in the middle of Denver and frequently see deer in my apartment complex. To see over 330 species of wildlife just 20 minutes east of Denver, visit the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. We visited in the fall and saw deer, bison and prairie dogs. Journey into the Rocky Mountains to see even more wildlife, including moose, elk and bears.
The Locals Are Active
Colorado is one of the most active states in the country, and it's easy to understand why. With the beautiful Rocky Mountains as our backyard, we are burning calories even on snowy, bitterly-cold days. In the summers, Coloradans bike, jog, walk, kayak, or hike, and in the winters, Coloradans snowboard, ski, snowshoe, or sled. With the thousands of miles of trails, there's really no excuse to stay home no matter the weather.
There Are Four Seasons In One Day
This isn't an exaggeration, we do really have 300 days of sunshine a year. Just last weekend, the morning started off crisp, then it turned warm, then in rained, then it snowed, all within 12 hours. Coloradans dress in layers and are ready for a change in temperature at any point. Don't even bother asking, "What should I pack for my trip?" For example, sometimes spring is absolutely beautiful, but it's also not uncommon for Colorado to receive their biggest snow storm during spring break.
The Food Is Amazing
Colorado is a food-lovers paradise. Colorado is known for many foods, including: Palisade Peaches, Rocky Mountain Oysters, Green Chili, Colorado Lamb, Rocky Ford Cantaloupe, Bison and Olathe Sweet Corn. Read more about Colorado's famous foods here.
There Are Too Many Craft Breweries To Count
My friends over at Colorado Brewery List would agree, Colorado is full of incredible breweries. Check out their map to see just how many are in the Denver Metro area alone! With a wide selection to choose from, Coloradans love going brewery hopping and do so on a regular basis. Two great brewery crawls to try are RiNo District and South Broadway. Both require less than 20 minutes of walking total and include over 4 breweries.
Cons Of Living In Colorado
The Traffic Is Terrible
And seems to be getting worse every year. If you're trying to get from one area of Denver to the other, assume it'll take 30 minutes, because it usually does. Don't bother driving during rush hour in the morning or the afternoon, you will be in a stand-still for most of your trip. Many Denverites rely on a real-time navigation app like Waze to advise them of alternative routes to avoid traffic. Getting on and off of the highway several times during your commute is becoming the norm. If you're trying to get to the mountains, be warned that early morning weekend traffic is pretty bad, so is afternoon traffic as the ski lifts close.
Transplants Are Given The Stink-Eye
Be warned, if you are not a native Coloradan, residents will hold it against you, especially if you're originally from California. Many believe that transplants are the reason the housing market is out of control, and assume that people are only moving here for the weed. While it's rare to come across a Coloradan who will actually hate you for being a transplant, you will definitely be the butt of a few of their jokes. Just stay out of the fast lane, learn how to drive in the snow, and get rid of that California license plate. That'll help.
There Are Few Swimmable Bodies Of Water
In comparison to other states, Colorado just isn't great in the swimmable bodies of water category. While Colorado has a handful of reservoirs and lakes, none are known for their swimming. The beaches are rocky and the water is often very cold. If you're set on getting some lake time, visit The Denver Ear for a list of the best places to swim in Colorado.
The Housing Market Is A Nightmare
Home prices are raising faster than inflation, which means that while Colorado jobs are plentiful, our salaries are still not high enough to afford the majority of homes on the market. In the off-chance you do find a single family home under $250,000, you will be entered in a race to see who can cough-up an all cash offer quicker. Currently, the average price of a home in Colorado is $536,584. There's not much that would make a native want to leave Colorado, but the housing market may push locals to shop for homes elsewhere.
Pros Or Cons, Depending On Your Preference
There Are Weed Dispensaries Everywhere
Marijuana has been legalized in the State of Colorado and there are places to buy it on nearly every street corner. Just look for the green + sign. Fortunately, marijuana sales taxes are going straight to the Colorado public school system. But a negative is that thousands of growers are looking to get a piece of that action, creating an over-saturation in the Denver Metro area.
The State Is Both Liberal and Conservative
It's about 50/50 here in Colorado, with liberals in Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins and Pueblo and conservatives in Colorado Springs and the more rural Colorado towns. In 2016, 48.2 percent of Colorado voters voted for Hilary Clinton and 43.3 percent voted for Donald Trump. Take a look at this map of Colorado's 2016 voting trends if you want to learn more.
The Fast Lane Is Just That: Fast
Ask any Coloradan what their biggest pet peeve is and they're likely to say, "People driving slow in the left lane." While the speed limit is usually 75-miles-per-hour, most Coloradans are going upwards of 90-miles-per-hour in the fast lane. If you aren't speeding, move over. If you don't, expect to be tailed or flipped off.
After living in Colorado for 26 years, I can't imagine moving to another place long-term. My heart will always be in Colorado.
What do you think, Colorado natives? What else would you add to this list? I'd love to hear your thoughts below.
Thanks for reading,

8gb is a lot of data...what kind of data is it? If it is mainly music and images, these will not compress much and therefore it might be pointless to persue that path.
Have you considered backing up to a removable harddrive? Or a second drive? Are you removing the backup offsite (best practive)?
Are you interested in only data? Or do you want to back up your entire system.
Do you have a high speed internet connection?

When I say re-write, I do mean a rewritable CD-RW. The files that are large are image files. I have a 2nd hard drive currently, and have my data files stored on it. This hard drive is partitioned, so that I have a backup on it. The main hard drive is where I store all of my program files. I wanted to have an exterior backup should something go wrong with my computer. It would preferably have my program files, but minimum, my data files. My motherboard went out over the weekend, which is prompting the concern to have an exterior backup. Everything on this computer is my work, and if I lose it, well......anyhow, the hard drive in my old computer was fine, so we installed it in the new computer. Fortunately, all of my data files were recovered, but none of my programs will execute. My internet connection is satellite - the best available where I live - it's definitely not "high speed". Puchasing an exterior hard drive is an option, but I wanted to make sure I knew the options before spending more money, and that the money will be well spent!
Simply insert the XP CD, and run NTBACKUP.MSI (it might look like just "Ntbackup") program from the folder D:\Valueadd\msft\ntbackup where D: is the letter of your CD drive. This will launch the Windows Backup Utility Installation Wizard, which will install the utility automatically. When it is finished, click "Finish." It's that easy!

Given your concerns, I might consider something like Acronis True Image with a USB drive.
First, Acronis
With this, you can make an entire copy of your harddrive (os and data), and it even supports incremental updates--ie, you make the first copy, and then run the software to alter changes only.
Then, if your harddrive dies, you can drop in a new drive, run a disk image restore from the USB drive and you are back in business.
I have used this method myself and it can be done fairly cheap, depending.
You mentioned an old drive...how many actual, physical harddrives do you have?
Here's what I did...I had an old 40gb drive laying around. I bought a usb harddrive enclosure for $20, inserted that old drive in, and TrueImage for $30. I can backup my entire system in about 30 minutes the first time, and incremental updates take about 15 minutes as it checks.
That's one way to go about it.
You expressed an interest in rewritable media...one drawback to rewritable media is it's not as rewritable as the name implies. CD-RWs can be written to a dozen times or so, before their reliability tends to go.
Plus, you have the swapping issue, it will take about 8+ CDs to backup that data.
A DVD back up solution might be another way to go. A DVD writer can be had for about $35 these days....and for that you would need just two DVDs. You could go with RW DVD and use them maybe 12 times before tossing them and going with two more. If you get them on sale, you're talking about $1 disc
You could use the DVD software that allows packet writing, like incd from nero (probably come with drive), and use a free backup program like COBIAN backup to automatically back up your data to those drives (but again, more swaping).
Dual layer DVDs, if your drive supports it, might even squeeze it all onto one drive, but the media are much more expensive (for now)

Promotional Gifts - Tools to Help Advance Your BusinessPromotional gifts or promotional products are usually items commonly utilized in communication programs and in marketing a business. They are usually imprinted with the name and logo of a company and may contain a company's slogan as well. These are normally handed out during conferences, trade shows, and other events held during marketing campaigns. There are times when these products are given to customers after they contracted a service or bought a certain item. These are also given to people who just want to see what is going on in these events. The first known promotional gifts were possibly those that were given out during political campaigns. These items came in the form of button badges, which was considered as a well-known method for letting the people know about a certain campaign. They were considered as the walking advertisements for politicians as well as campaigns. At the height of the giving out of these button
Print Your Message Onto Some Promotional Item to Advertise Your BusinessMany businesses have used different marketing techniques to communicate their message through different means of communication channels over the years. These methodologies were costly and time consuming. Then businesses realized that they can make it by investing less money as compared to other marketing campaigns. They decided to use such common things like pens, pen stands, markers, energy drinks, Pedometers, sweets, balloons, bottle openers, briefcases, whistles, badges, key rings, footballs, compasses, Jackets, T-shirts, blankets, sim card products and even DVD players. The main idea behind this method is to print your message onto some promotional item and give away to your target audience and prospects. This technique would not create a well being of your company but it will advertise your brand name at the same time. Just think of a pen stand which you gave away to one of your prospect. This pen stand on his table would advertise your pr

Whether it's your shoes or any of your safety gears, it is important that you are always concern about your safety before competing.

the art of doing nothing
bonjour mid august! hard to believe it's here already. i got sidetracked today somewhere between research and not being able to concentrate on work, i ended up spending the last half hour in a deep but lovely rabbit hole. it started with merely wanting to say hello with a summer illustrations but it's so easy to get lost isn't it? well anyway this is a little collection of french fun that spans the 1920s and 30s covers and interior works of the french magazine, la vie parisienne. i hope it's a petite distraction and a chance to remember why we love and admire the french this time of year: the women, the humor, the timeless style and joie de vie.

allo! how's your wednesday going?
i'm taking a tech break to go through some images before getting back to working on an excel sheet.
i never get tired of poring over these engravings from the past and thought i'd share them with you today. i hope you get a kick out of them.
not sure what it was about the summer of '77…the summer of 1777 that is…
i think we romanticize 18th century life, the delicate clothing, detail and traditions…
but what never ceases to amaze me is the imagination that this generation had, how they made it up as they went along and seemed to have, in a very dark time, found a way to enjoy life by being playful with their appearance, and in today's case, specifically, their hair.
lord knows what i would do without my curling iron, i'd be a hot mess pretty much every single day.
thank god for the patience of hairdressers.
anyway at a point it becomes hard to tell if these women were really spending this much time on their hair or these are exaggerations.
when i go to the salon it takes awhile even in this day and age.
how were they achieving these great heights?
as a jersey girl maybe i'm particularly fascinated
and in jersey we laugh at ourselves.
so finding the satire engravings was the piece de resistance on this little image adventure.
even the men weren't immune to either the trends or being targets to parody the style
young and old, they were all on the big hair bandwagon.
such silly fun!
well i gotta run, hope you enjoyed this little diversion. have a bonne journee!
it doesn't take much

bonsoir mes cheres amis, how are you on this fine night? it's blissfully early at just after 12 and i've done about all i can do for today. i wanted to make sure to get here before i tune out since for me it's the place to be…cause you're here!
my hope to check out one of the bookmarks i've been saving since the beginning of time as once again been fulfilled. turns out it's the easiest part of my day. like a roulette wheel where every number's a winner, I can't help but get excited at the prospect of what it could be. they've waited so patiently to be appreciated and this one was from 2011, so it truly was now or never. anyway as the dropdown cascaded, i hovered my mouse and randomly chose this bookmark:
it's fitting since i'm working on the Desirant store with the team in asheville. and talk about inspiration! the epitome of restraint and elegance, every one of 'em.

maybe i'm just easily entertained but i like the simple things in life. anyway i hope you enjoyed the little trip to couture-land. i'm dropping out and tuning into a book for a change. sweet dreams!

This article examines the impact of no till systems in a 12 year trial in the central highlands of Mexico, specifically focusing on effects on microbial biomass and catabolic diversity in rainfed smallholder agricultural systems. A significant finding of the study is that zero till without residue retention is an unsustainable production practice.

A Brand New Paradigm shift in Nail Salons......
For the first time since I have been involved participating in the nail salon industry for the past 10 years, a new perspective by the movers and shakers in the cosmetology market for nail care has suddenly developed literally in less than a week since 3/21/08.
Guess who these are turning to for help? That is right...... you the podiatrist.
Background: Beauty Schools across the Country have suddenly seen a drastic 2 year drop in the enrollment of nail technology courses for nail technician's as a separate training discipline yet, cosmetology course enrollments have held steady. (Remember, nail technicians only do nails while cosmetologists do hair and nails.) The prices for nail technician provided services have also dropped for services providing manicures and pedicures nationwide in many markets.
There are many reasons for this drop that involved a convoluted arrangement between dated cosmetology boards and their associations, the dissemination of poor information, prejudice, influx of budget salons, and a historical rejection of medical involvement in their industry.
The movers and shakers in their industry have turned to my book, Death By Pedicure and my new bridging training course called a Medical Nail Technician to revamp the industry. Any licensed nail technician can participate. The first online graduates will be taking their final training internships this summer and will be looking to work with this profession soon after. To use their advanced skills they must work under the direction of you the podiatrist. Otherwise, they are merely individuals who will be sending you more patients.
The argument that these advanced trained individuals are going to be taking over our industry is inaccurate. State laws prevent them from acting in an advanced capacity unless they are under a physician's license. But that still doesn't stop the fact that continue to do it against their own regulations. Let's face it, in our own practices, for those podiatrists who hire people to do routine care, we hire someone one day and they are cutting nails for us the next day. This is unacceptable unless they come to the table with advanced skills.
We have some podiatrists going bed to bed cutting nails in nursing home with one pair of nippers and wiping them off with alcohol wipes. This pattern of disinfection fails miserably, in fact it is worse than what nail salons are doing nationwide because we are "licensed" to know better. The podiatry assistant's program is voluntary and depends entirely upon how a podiatrist wants to use them. They are not state licensed individuals who have completed state prescribed testing
Do nail technicians already do advanced care illegally with or without the benefit of training? Yes, every day. Not a single state cosmetology board has enough inspectors to stop it now or in the future.
However, with that said. These individuals represent a pivotal and positive means by which to expand the routine foot care component of our industry without ever filing a claim. Fee for service medicine is where we truly want to be anyway since it is unlikely insurance companies will ever pay a fair value for what we provide even if it was covered.
For years, I have written articles and made a huge effort to understand the dynamics of the nail salon industry. I manufacture products for the foot care industry and participated in lecturing, designing programs and utilization of nail technicians in my practice over the years. They represent a powerful ally to address the increasing baby boomer population. Even our own podiatry guru's say we are going to need 3 times the number of podiatrists by 2015 to cope with this increased segment of the population.
People, this program works. I have spent 10 years seeing this evolution. I don't plan to write anymore articles or spend any energy defending this program but rather spend time soliciting a network of other podiatrists who want to benefit financially from involvement in the Medical Nail Technician™ or MNT.
There are podiatrists across the country who have already recognized basic nail technicians are the only licensed individuals to provide beauty services to hands and feet in every state. One of the first podiatrists to do this was Oscar Mix. He incorporated nail technicians directly into his practice over 20 years ago. They just need extra advanced training to perfect their current skills and be real assets to your practice. Interestingly, there are also podiatrists who have surgical practices or specialty practices referring patients to nail salons without medical oversight instead of our brother podiatrists to handle routine foot care. Yes, this also happens all the time.
The purpose of this announcement is to fairly inform every podiatrist of this new untapped wave of over one million practicing nail technicians and cosmetologists as well as 275,000 full service salons or nail salons that can potentially fill many roles in our practices. Some of these individuals can act as force multipliers much as aestheticians act as force multipliers for dermatologists and plastic surgeons in medical day spas. All they need is your very simple involvement.
I have started a paid consultant service for podiatrists to learn how to convert a small or large scale area of their practice to a fully functional routine foot care center. I can also demonstrate that this arrangement can actually provide a better job than what some podiatrists currently offer that passes off for good foot care. Even if you do not want these individuals in your practice, you can still benefit from this MNT referral system.
Any interested podiatrist wanting to participate can go to my website www.DRSpalding.com to see over101 plus reasons (and counting) to seek my podiatry conversion/consulting services. I have 4 other websites that have additional information I will share. I will entertain any emails to email@example.com or phone calls to 423-756-3668. Please be patient if the number is busy and leave a message or drop me an email.
If you know the answers to these reasons you don't need my consulting services.
I am looking for a network of podiatrists who are willing to step up to the plate to instruct these nail technicians in advanced techniques for a fee and participate in a podiatry based nail spa from your own practice. Please contact me if you would like to explore this opportunity.

The #xkcd-pub IRC channel was the brain-child of the alcoholic mastermind known as stump and his trollfaced sidekick, the legendary terran. They were probably somewhat intoxicated when the channel was founded, but they don't remember. Then I think some people joined, were probably offended but stuck around anyway. After drama llamas happened, stump left, and now terran kind of owns the channel, but he doesn't really fucking do much. LolCam is probably on irc more than any other admin/op.

My Honest Review of Affiliate Revival:
Go HERE on July 5th @ 10am EST & grab it with my AWESOME Bonuses!!!
Just this last month I went to a marketing conference in Dublin and it was pretty crazy listening to different seasoned marketers and their stories about how easy it used to be to make money online 10-15 years ago.
In internet years, that's centuries – what worked last year is probably different today, and that's why you either have to evolve or forget about succeeding online. The good news is that, it's not that complicated – just different.
Kobi is relatively new to making money online and he managed to figure out how to make $100-$200 a day in Passive Income – day after day, after day. You'll be very surprised with how it all works – you might even already know a similar method, but you're definitely missing a big, secret key element!

text: I was recently reading Jason Perl's book "DeMark Indicators", and had a question about Setups in TD Sequential. Can someone please explain to me what a "completed setup" is ? I'm getting confused when it comes to recycling. Note: I am going to use sell setup for the scenario. Recycling states if you are in sell countdown and a new sell setup "completes" on before or after the completion of countdown and BEFORE the next price flip then you must check for recycle. To do this, you compare the true range of the original setup to the true range of the recently "completed" setup, and if the recently completed setup's range is equal to or greater than the original setup's range, but less than 1.618 times the original setups range, then the coundown recycles and the recently completed setup becomes the active setup. HOWEVER, there is a sticking point here. A setup is composed of 9 OR MORE consecutive closes. So at what point do you take the measurement, ie what point is the sell setup "completed" ? If you checked on candle 9 of the new setup, it is possible that the new setup will continue on past 9 candles, and thus its range will expand. So is the new setup not "complete" until at least candle 9 AND a bear price flip occurs, thus locking in the range of the new setup ? Do you postpone checking for recycle until this price flip so you are guaranteed that you know the new setups range is "locked in" ? Bascially I'm trying to figure out at what point you compare the ranges of the original and the new setup. Thanks, -T

Hi this is John Frey from Bully Racing.... I am the guy that got these made. I could get lockers made but there would have to be a minimum order of 10 paid up front and to be honest I don't think it I would sell enough of them to make it worth while.
The Ford Raptor and H1 hummer both use Torsen type front LSDs and no it is not adjustable.
You can call me if you have any questions.

Carmine "The Roman" Falcone is a fictional character in DC Comics' shared universe, the DC Universe, who made his debut in the four part story Batman: Year One written by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli in 1987.
Falcone is a powerful Mafia chieftain nicknamed "The Roman", where his stranglehold over Gotham City's organized crime is referenced as "The Roman Empire" at least once. Though his role in his debut story was almost non-existent, Falcone later appeared as major character in the Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale mini-series Batman: The Long Halloween.
HistoryIn Batman: Year One, Falcone virtually runs the city, with the mayor, city council, and Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb under his influence. However, his power base comes under attack by the new mysterious and upcoming vigilante, Batman. In one scene, a dinner party is hosted by Falcone. It is attended by the commissioner and other corrupt high society members. When the issue of Batman is brought up in conversation, Commissioner Loeb's tries to assure Falcone that the new opponent may be a long term benefit. The assurance falls flat and Falcone's concern is justified subsequently by Batman's bold assault on the dinner party to announce that they will be delivered to justice. Despite Loeb's desperate attempts to stop him, Batman's attacks on Falcone's organization become even more brazen; Batman had The Roman's car dumped into the river, invaded his home, assaulted him, stripped him to his underwear, and left him hogtied to his bed. Humiliated, Falcone orders Batman killed. Batman is too elusive, however, as he later helps Catwoman attack the mafia head. Finally, Falcone orders police detective Jim Gordon's wife and child kidnapped to bring him to heel, but the plot is in part foiled by the Gordons while Batman rescues their child. Eventually, District Attorney Harvey Dent and Jim Gordon's investigations, with some secret assistance by Batman, restore law and order to Gotham; Loeb is forced to resign, and Falcone's power is put under threat by the new opposition he now faces.
The plot of The Long Halloween involves a serial killer named Holiday targeting Gotham's crime families, with particular attention paid to the Falcone family. While fighting the criminal justice system, Falcone is desperately trying to get a grip on his once-powerful empire, and he resorts to hiring "freaks" in the form of what becomes Batman's Rogues Gallery. Falcone's son, Alberto, confessed to all of the Holiday killings, as he wanted his father to accept him into the family business, but it is important to note Harvey and Gilda Dent are at least somewhat responsible for them. Harvey Dent was in fact the initial suspect, and the suspicions directed toward him were in part responsible for the accident in which he became Two-Face. While Falcone played a large role in The Long Halloween, he was killed in the end, shot in the head by Two-Face.
In Batman: Dark Victory, Falcone's grave is robbed and his body goes missing. His finger is cut off and sent to his daughter, Sofia Gigante, the new leader of the Falcone Family. This is described as an "old style message", signifying that someone is out to take everything away from the Falcone Family, crushing them both as a public, business organization in the crime world as well as literally killing members of the family. Not until the end it is revealed that Two-Face has Falcone's body, having frozen it using Mr. Freeze's cryogenic technology.
In an epilogue, Selina Kyle visits Falcone's mausoleum and confesses, alone, that she has some evidence, though not conclusive, that she is his illegitimate daughter, which explains why she hated him so much.
In Other Media
Batman: The Animated Series
Although Carmine Falcone did not appear in Batman: The Animated Series, (as Rupert Thorne acted as the major non superpowered villain of the show) one of The Penguin's henchmen's name was stated as Falcone, and that could have been a nod to the character.
Carmine Falcone appears on the tv show, Gotham, and is portrayed by John Doman.
Batman Begins
See: Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson)
The Dark Knight
Although he did not appear in The Dark Knight, Carmine Falcone was mentioned to still be at Arkham Asylum awaiting trial, which implied that he was administered Scarecrow's Fear Gas antitidote, and that he did not escape during the prison break. Crime bosses Sal Maroni and Gambol tried to take over the underworld in his absence. Falcone's mental health may still have been debatable as he awaited trial in Arkham Asylum instead of an actual prison facility.
Video Games
Batman: Arkham Origins
Falcone did not appear, although he was mentioned in the biography and Extortion Tapes of his son, Alberto Falcone. The Penguin forced Carmine out of the weapons business when he abducted and heavily tortured Alberto. One of Black Mask's Extortion Tapes also implied that Carmine and Roman were acquaintances.

Fearing the state will interfere with local management of groundwater supplies, San Joaquin County supervisors voted Tuesday to oppose legislation and support state intervention "only in the most extreme situations."
Fearing the state will interfere with local management of groundwater supplies, San Joaquin County supervisors voted Tuesday to oppose legislation and support state intervention "only in the most extreme situations."
In a separate action, supervisors also opposed the proposed designation of the upper Mokelumne River as wild and scenic.
First, the groundwater issue:
Unlike some portions of the state, where excessive pumping of groundwater has caused the ground to sink several feet or more, San Joaquin County has seen land "subsidence" measured in mere millimeters, county Public Works Director Tom Gau told the board Tuesday.
Gau said the county has done a good job attempting to reverse overpumping, with local agencies spending more than $700 million since 1980 to acquire more water from rivers and streams to take the pressure off underground supplies.
California is the only state in the West that does not regulate groundwater at the state level. The serious drought has created momentum to change that, including two bills pending in the Legislature.
The local concern, however, is that areas that have attempted to improve their groundwater supplies will be lumped in with areas that have neglected this precious resource.
"My fear is, given this drought situation and almost the hysteria about it, they're going to jam through something and we're not going to be pleased with it," Supervisor Larry Ruhstaller said. "We're taking this action, but we really need to go up (to Sacramento) with solutions, and we need to have allies throughout the state that actually can help us get the type of bill that we can live with."
Supervisors also voted to oppose legislation that would declare the upper Mokelumne River, from Pardee Lake to Salt Springs Reservoir, as wild and scenic. The county's fear is that such a designation would make the river off-limits for future water storage or hydroelectric projects.
"If you truly believe in global warming, there will be more rainfall than snowfall in the future. If you don't have storage reservoirs to put it in, we won't have the water supply we have today," said Andy Christensen, general manager of the Woodbridge Irrigation District, which also opposes the wild and scenic designation.
Calaveras County and Mother Lode businesses support the designation, citing the recreation and tourism benefits of a free-flowing stream.
The San Joaquin County vote on each item was 4-0, with Supervisor Carlos Villapudua absent.

San Francisco, CA—Reductions in postinitiation treatment costs partly offset, but did not eliminate, the added cost of repository corticotropin injection (RCI) therapy for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), researchers behind the analysis of an administrative claims database have found.
Prescription costs increased significantly (P <.01) after initiation of RCIs, but total medical and hospitalization costs decreased. Per-patient total medical costs remained approximately $4400 higher with RCIs, whether calculated as all-cause healthcare costs or SLE-related healthcare costs.
The study also showed that few patients with SLE initiated RCIs, with treatment beginning approximately 2 years after SLE diagnosis, Bingcao Wu, MS, Associate Director, HealthCore, Inc, Wilmington, DE, and colleagues reported at the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy's Managed Care & Specialty Pharmacy Annual Meeting 2016.
"Despite an increase in all-cause or SLE-related pharmacy costs after initiation of RCI, a medical cost offset was observed due to reduced hospitalization costs, which offset the drug costs by 32% to 37%," Mr Wu concluded in a poster presentation. "Knowing the clinical and health economic profile of SLE patients who initiated RCI in a real-world setting lay the foundation for future research to explore factors associated with RCI initiation and its impact on long-term outcomes."
RCI therapy is approved by the FDA for treatment of SLE exacerbations in select patients. The clinical and health economic profile of patients initiating RCIs remains unclear, however, providing a rationale for investigation.
The investigators retrospectively queried claims from the HealthCore Integrated Research Database for patients treated from January 2006 through March 2015. They identified patients who had ≥2 SLE-related diagnoses from July 2007 through March 2015, ≥6 months of continuous health plan enrollment from the index date, and ≥1 medical and pharmacy claims for RCIs.
The query yielded 29,401 patients with SLE, 29 (0.1%) of whom initiated RCIs. At diagnosis, the patients had a mean age of 45 years. Women accounted for approximately 90% of the patients initiating RCIs, and 28 patients had an active SLE flare at the time of RCI initiation.
On average, patients initiated RCIs 22.6 months after SLE diagnosis; follow-up after initiation averaged 23.9 months. Prior to initiation of RCIs, the most commonly used treatments were corticosteroids (439 patients per 1000 patient-years), antimalarials (311 patients per 1000 patient-years), immunosuppressants (275 patients per 1000 patient-years), and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (256 patients per 1000 patient-years). After therapy with RCIs began, use of antimalarials decreased significantly (190 patients per 1000 patient-years; P = .04), but use of the other drug classes did not change significantly.
Among the 29 patients who initiated RCI therapy, hospitalization rates decreased—although not significantly—including all-cause (238 to 190 patients per 1000 patient-years) and SLE-related (183 to 138 patients per 1000 patient-years) hospitalizations. Similarly, nonsignificant decreases occurred in all-cause and SLE-related emergency department visits.
The number of all-cause outpatient services used per year decreased from 44 (before RCI therapy) to 40 (after RCI initiation; P <.01), but use of SLE-related outpatient services did not change (8-9 encounters per patient year). The number of all-cause and SLE-related prescription fills per patient-year decreased significantly: 44 to 39 (P <.01), and 15 to 10 (P <.01), respectively.
All-cause healthcare costs increased substantially after initiation of RCI ($6774 to $11,167 per patient per month; P = .07), driven primarily by increased prescription costs ($905 to $7443 per patient per month; P <.01). Total medical costs decreased ($5869 to $3724 per patient per month; P = .14), and hospitalization costs decreased significantly ($3192 to $799 per patient per month; P = .04).
With respect to SLE-related costs, the total increased significantly after initiation of RCI ($3077 to $7522 per patient per month; P = .04), again driven primarily by increased prescription costs ($66 to $6629 per patient per month; P <.01). Total medical costs decreased significantly ($3011 to $893 per patient per month; P = .02), as did hospitalization costs ($2444 to $434 per patient per month; P = .02).
"This study found trends of decreased healthcare resource utilization after RCI initiation, but most were not statistically significant due to small sample size," the investigators concluded. "These results may have limited generalizability to a noncommercially insured population."

|Yep, it came with an "I <8 my SSD" sticker
So about 30 minutes after opening the package, I was compiling our .NET based insurance policy management system project. This was purchased for me by the company, and I got to thinking that even if it only survives 6 months, it's still worth the $179 the company paid for it.
Will it be reliable? That's the question in my mind. But if it's not, well then it sure is fast until it craps out. I understand a lot of huge data centers are moving to SSD, even with the fact that they don't have the same lifespan as spinning platter based drives. And now, I can see why.
Having my work VM run off of this new SSD turned it into a real beast. The VM has 2 cores (of 6) devoted to it, as well as 4 GB of memory and now its own SSD. The memory and SSD upgrades cut my compile time in half of my big projects as well as making the machine itself much, much snappier.

I can assure that majority of you have heard and even visited Wattpad.com but beforing sharing my sentiment about Wattpad let us get to know wattpad and how it works.
To those who are not familiar with this application, Wattpad is an app created to those who are passionate in writing stories (in different genre) and to those who loves to read stories acrosse the globe. Everything here is free. Majority of the works here are created by those who are aspiring to publish their own works.
Some are fond of this application and some loathe it. I am a wattpad writer since 2010 or 2011 but I stopped writing when I entered college. Disclaimer: I am not that good but I like how there are people who appreciates my works
I am somewhat picky when it comes to reading wattpad stories but wattpad writers deserve all the credit for their works. Writing is not easy and publishing it online takes a lot of guts.
Another admiring thing about this app is that it exposes your talent in writing and some are even published in our country. I rarely buy wattpad books but I do recommend this book and the one entitled 'A Latte Like Love'.
I just like how they write and how creative they are with their plots. My all time favorite is eydee aka as beeyotch in wattpad.
I am not forcing everyone to read and support wattpad writers but there are a lot of good reads there if you just want something to read, to make you 'kilig', cry or laugh. I read wattpad when I am bored and have tons of free time esp when I discovered a really interesting story. It is addicting!
Thanks to wattpad a lot of writers are living their dream.

The Science of Serenity : Designing a Home Spa
Our Home is our sanctuary and there are certain rooms that are special because they honor privacy at the highest level. Homeowners are embracing more and more the notion of a space in their home that is beyond a traditional bathroom. There's something transcendent about a luxurious Master Bathroom. The oasis from the outside world and a private area that can be transformed into a personal spa. Imagine a beautiful soaking tub with space for candles and objects, steam shower or personal sauna, that evoke Serenity. When I meet with a new Client we discuss what is important to them, their needs, and their aspirations and the Master Bathroom is an area that is discussed in great length. Whether it be a large soaking tub, glass shower, or even personal sauna, these requests are important and coincide with the lifestyle of that Client.
I love to design a bathroom that feels spacious , one that is both inviting and extremely functional. It is all in the materials and layout that maximize utility. There are some basic components that a good bathroom space should have: Beautiful and high quality materials (marble tiles, glass , Corian) comfortable counter space, wonderful lighting, perfect color selection, storage and most of all privacy….
Some Clients really desire the feeling of a Home Spa created to de-stress and maintain their privacy and have the luxury of a spa in their own residence.
As a Contemporary/ Minimal Designer, I am drawn more to light colors , especially when the space is really small, but ultimately the design of a bathroom/home spa either white or black or marble of any color, is the result of being complimentary to the rest of the space and the Client's personal taste, which creates the ultimate "pampered" feeling, and exudes tranquility. I do like bold color that is well placed. The use of color is powerful. Every tone must work in symbiosis, it should not be jarring or off-putting. In my previous Blog about the Science of Color I speak about how color effects our moods and feelings… so it is imperative in creating the Home Spa, that color is used both artistically and functionally.
In creating a home spa, lighting is an essential part of the design which also has an emotional effect. Lighting should be warm, welcoming and calming. A specific lighting design is necessary to achieve the full potential of the space. Are dimmable lights important? maybe around the tub? so that candlelight can be introduced to create a specific "mood", should there be brighter light in the vanity for makeup application, shaving for the men….? These are all questions that are pertinent to building that Spa feeling…
In the image presented, this Master Bathroom is from a recent ORA studio Project in Manhattan. The large soaking tub is perfect for a peaceful bath to wash away the day's worries. A separate stand up glass shower gives the Client a choice…and can also be used as a steamy escape from the day. There is space near the tub for products and candles if desired. Creative and personal touches can be displayed also incorporating elements from nature, be it flowers or wood or coral or a favorite scent.
When presented with the task to design a Spa at home for the Client, all these aspects need to be considered to create the ultimate private Spa. Yes, there is a "Science" to designing a proper Spa bathroom at home. In Design, there is a Science that accompanies the creative process, it is here in this blog that I will examine, color, light, décor, texture, shape …and what the Science is to creating winning and beautiful combinations for a wonderful home, office or commercial space.

Hi Kelly,
Unfortunately the contents don't really live up to the promise of the title and cover. I much prefer their book of masks. Norman Laliberte also published a book called 'Banners and Hangings: Design and Construction' which I need to find. And woah, I just noticed this.
