Now, Shakira roots for Barack ObamaOctober 7th, 2008 - 2:44 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Oct 7 (ANI): Pop superstar Shakira has become the latest celebrity to support the Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
The Colombian singer is urging fellow Latinos to vote for Obama in next month''s U.S. presidential elections because the Senator can "restore peace and confidence" in America.
"I support Barack Obama because I think he''s the person who can truly represent what the U.S. is to other countries. I feel in my heart that he can restore peace and confidence in the U.S, Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.
"I"d like to invite the Latino community to go out and vote, because they can make a huge difference. This country is incredibly important to me, as it is for the rest of the world, because the U.S. economy is crucial to other world economies. And world peace depends largely on the who is driving the politics of this country," she added.
Obama has responded to Shakira''s remarks, stating, "I feel honoured to receive such support from a talented and generous artist." (ANI)

Iowa Hawkeyes football isn't exactly known as an offensive juggernaut on the national level. In fact, it may be third on the list of position groups one thinks of when talking about the team from Iowa City.
However, this team burst on to the scene offensively in 2015 and combined with a stingy defense to provide for one of the most difficult teams to beat in the Big Ten last year. Iowa scored 30-plus points in eight of its 14 games last season, including five times in conference play alone.
Can that offensive firepower exist again in 2016?
Last season many wondered if Kirk Ferentz and Co. made the right choice going with intriguing but unproven C.J. Beathard over Jake Rudock following the bowl game in January.
No such questions exist now, as Beathard made the coaching staff look real smart all throughout 2015. He finished last season completing 61.6 percent of his passes for 2,809 yards and 17 touchdowns to five interceptions.
While the touchdown numbers may not jump of the page, his ability to not turn the ball over to opponents was key. Beathard also gave a good running dimension to the game, adding 237 yards rushing and six touchdowns on the ground.
He may not be needed as much on the ground in 2016, but that's perfectly fine if he can duplicate or build even more off of his first season as a starter.
What will be crucial is Beathard's health, as backup Tyler Wiegers has only four passing attempts to his name in college football, but is brimming with potential. If healthy, Beathard gives Iowa every chance to repeat as Big Ten West division champions.
Running Back
With leading rusher Jordan Canzeri out of eligibility, a new face of Iowa's rushing attack will have to emerge in 2016. The question for the coaching staff seems to be experience versus potential heading in to fall camp with very little decided on the name of the starter.
Competing for the starting job is senior LeShaun Daniels and junior Akrum Wadley. Daniels has the experience advantage, having played in 24 career games and is the leading returning rusher from last season with 646 yards and eight rushing touchdowns. Meanwhile, Wadley saw his most extensive action of his career last season and showed some real home-run potential.
Wadley rushed for 496 yards and seven touchdowns on just 88 carriers, averaging a team-best 5.9 yards per carry last season. It's that kind of production that may win the day, but it appears the coaching staff was leaning on the experience of Daniels to be the starter.
Either way, expected both players to see plenty of the ball in a nice thunder-and-lightning combination in the Hawkeyes backfield. Look for junior Derrick Mitchell to be the third back heading in to camp at the very least. He flashed potential in 2015 with 162 yards and two touchdowns on just 25 carries on the season.
One other name to watch in fall camp is redshirt freshman Eric Graham out of Prattville, Ala., who came in to school at 5-10, 200 pounds already and has impressed coaches thus far
Wide Receiver/Tight End
Iowa hasn't been explosive at wide receiver for a few years now, but returning steady and reliable Matt Vandeberg is going to be a huge help to the offensive effort in 2016. Last season Vandeberg led the team in receptions (65), yards (703) and was second with four receiving touchdowns and was named Honorable Mention All-Big Ten for his efforts.
Beating Vandeberg in the touchdown category? That was big play tight end George Kittle, who turned five of his just 20 receptions in to touchdowns. In fact, Kittle averaged a nice 14.5 yards per reception last season and may be the biggest downfield threat the team has in 2016.
Vandeberg will be joined in the starting lineup at wide receiver by a whole lot of inexperience, with both Tevaun Smith and Jacob Hillyer graduated. The biggest name to watch is going to be sophomore Jerminic Smith, who flashed a ton of potential in 2015 as a freshman, catching six passes for 141 yards on the season. Fellow sophomore Jay Scheel appears to be in position to take the other starting spot out at wide receiver after a nice spring himself.
Overall, this is a group that has a lot of potential, but a ton of work to do on the field of play in 2016. With three returning starters on the offensive line and a veteran quarterback, look for this group to figure things out as the season unfolds.
Offensive Line
Perhaps the toughest thing to project on the 2016 Iowa offense is just exactly what the offensive line is going to look like. A lot of that had to do with players like James Daniels and Sean Welsh, both expected to compete for starting spots at center or guard, missing time throughout the spring.
However, given where we are today, it appears the coaching staff may be leaning to Welsh to take over at the heir-apparent to Austin Blythe at center. As the spring wore on he got more comfortable and it may not be wise to mess with someone's confidence.
Look for a nice combination to form around Welsh, with arguably the top offensive lineman on the roster to his left (Boone Meyer) and his competition for the center position, sophomore James Daniels, to his right. Meyer moves inside after starting last season as the left tackle, making way for senior Cole Croston to get his opportunity on the edge.
If Meyer isn't the best offensive lineman in the group of starters, look at junior right tackle Ike Boettger to be that individual. He is coming off an injury that cost him the final seven games of last season, but seems plenty fit to go in 2016 and that should help an offensive line in a bit of flux.
While the starting group of five seems set, there is a serious lack of experience in the two-deep. As many as three freshmen or redshirt freshmen could be in the mix — Brett Waechter at left tackle along with Jake Newborg and Levi Paulsen at guard.

- Nutritional yeast: It is a deactivated yeast chopped full of B vitamins and is a complete protein source! Not only is it nutritionally beneficial it tastes like cheese so it can be easily added to pasta dishes, chili or even sprinkled on top of popcorn.
- Protein powder: Whether it be whey, hemp, rice, pea, soy or a blend of these protein powders they are a great way to get protein into your child. Toddlers and children need lots of protein for healthy growth and development so just enhance their meals with a little protein powder. Great ways to do this are by making fruit smoothies or adding it into your baked goods or even pancakes.
- Extra virgin coconut oil: This is a delicious and healthy saturated fat. Fats have had a bad reputation, but it is important to understand that fats are extremely important for health. Extra virgin coconut oil is a medium chain triglyceride which is easily digested by babies even as young as 6-9 months old. They are rich in Lauric acid which has antimicrobial effects and therefore can boost their immune system. You can add this to any meal, use it as body lotion or cook your vegetables in it.
- Flax or chia seeds: High in fiber and essential fatty acids these seeds are a simple way to boost the nutritional value of any meal. Always buy the whole seed and grind them right before use. This way you liberate the fatty acids so they can be digested. Buying ground flax seeds means that the omega 3's have had a long time exposed to oxygen and are likely rancid. Which goes against why you would use them as a omega fatty acid source in the first place. Sprinkle them onto your breakfast cereal or oats, yogurt, smoothie or into your baked treats.
- Hemp seeds: A complete protein, source of Omega 3, 6 and 9, full of minerals and a great source of fiber. Eating them in raw form they also contain enzymes to aid in the digestion. They have been shown to support the immune system and decrease inflammation. Hemp seeds are a great salad topping, sprinkle them on your oatmeal or just raw on top of your infants pureed veggies.
- Fish oil: A very high source of omega 3 fatty acids and extremely important for neurological development in children. Fish oil's are a healthy source of fat and are extremely anti-inflammatory. Its a very easy thing to introduce at a young age so that they grow up used to the taste. There are a wide variety of flavours available such as lemon, orange, mango, strawberry, pomegranate and key lime made to taste great for children and adults alike. They are a pleasant addition to smoothies or a salad dressing.

Forty years ago, on July 20, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon. Armstrong said, "That's one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind."
As a young reporter for NBC's Houston affiliate, KPRC-TV, I watched the landing on TV as many Americans and a record (at that time) worldwide audience also did. I had the privilege of meeting many of the early astronauts and so the experience was personal as well as professional. I also shared the pride we all felt in our country.
Apollo 11 was the fulfillment of President Kennedy's promise seven years before to land a man on the moon before the end of the decade. It demonstrated what can be accomplished if we work together and subordinate our individuality and political ideology to a common goal and a greater good.
Space exploration since that historic day has produced advances in our scientific and medical knowledge. While expensive, it is a necessary endeavor and while we may wish that such exploration would always have peaceful purposes, we must also be vigilant to the uses America's enemies would put space supremacy if they had the opportunity.
In 1969, at a time of great divisions over Vietnam and civil rights, Americans came together to celebrate not only being first on the moon, but the values and virtues that made it happen.
These were the kinds of people America produced -- smart, tough, brave, adventurous and committed. They had what a book and movie called "The Right Stuff."
That "stuff" seems to be in shorter supply today. Instead, we focus on celebrity more than we do on substance and on feelings more than grit. While we celebrate this anniversary, we ought to remember what and who made it possible. It isn't too late to again embrace those virtues. The 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 would be a good time to start.

Germaine de Capuccini Excel Oxygenating anti ageing Lip Volumiser
Excel Oxygenating Volumiser Ultra-Correction Care Lips and Lip Contour
The lip area together with the lip contour is a very sensitive area, it is both thin and vulnerable and particularly unprotected against our constant facial movements and the external environmental aggressions: sun, cold, wind, solar radiation, smoke, etc.
With the passing of years, the collagen of this area decreases and as a result the signs of ageing become more noticeable; lips become thinner, chapped and often become very dry, their contour fades and lines and wrinkles appear around them.
In other words your lips and contour lose their natural beauty.
Germaine de Capuccini's Excel Therapy Oxygenation offers a new regenerating anti-age lip volumiser treatment made up of two independent but complementary products to make lips and contour look beautiful and irresistible.
MPC - Defense Complex
A new combination of cytokines that adapts and works selectively against environmental stress and inflammation, stimulating defensive cytokines that soothe and re-balance your skin to help activate regenerating cytokines.
Also it contains solid lipid nano structures of plant origin forming a highly protective film that -
- Repairs damage suffered in the stratum corneum.
- Improves hydration, as it prevents your skin's water loss.
- Increases the bio-availability of cytokines.
- Favours oxygenation.
Life Cytoxygen
True deposits of molecular oxygen encapsulated in innovative ceramides that work from the skin's surface to the deepest layers, helping it recover optimum levels of oxygen and appear more rejuvenated and detoxified. The skin "breathes" better.
Hyaluronic Acid
It's most important function consists in maintaining tissues hydrated thanks to its capacity to retain water.
Through a sophisticated technological process, an oily suspension containing particles of sodium hyaluronate is achieved. These particles promote a better penetration and effectiveness of hylauronic acid. The small particles of sodium hyaluronate contained in the product swell up when they contact the skin, making lips become thicker in the long term.
G.H.K. Tripeptide
Known as the "catcher of Carbonyl Free Radicals (RCS)", it prevents the loss of elasticity of collagen and protects the skin cells of lips against damage caused by UV radiation.
Exceptional emolliant that has a high affinity to the skin and is capable of imitating and increasing many protective functions carried out by the skin's natural lipids.
Enriched with Butters of:
Cocoa: penetrates the skin rapidly leaving it soft and with no sticky sensation. Rich in linoleic acid and gamma-linoleic acid, which are precursors of the immune response.
Mango: rich in essential fatty acids with cicatrizant and regenerating actions.
Karite: works as a hydrating emollient with regenerating properties. Leaves the skin smooth and supple, while protecting it against environmental and climatic factors.
Coffee: rich in linoleic and palmitic acids, hydrates and softens the skin of lips.
A daily intensive lip volumiser treatment that regenerates and hydrates the skin of lips and contour, making them regain a youthful, fleshy appearance thanks to its "volume effect".
This anti-ageing lip volumiser treatment, applied after the Gentle Exfoliator Lips and Contour, effectively fights against the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines around lip contour.
Instructions for use:
Cleanse your skin and apply the lip volumiser cream morning and night on lips and lip contour with gentle lissages and circular movements. Next, apply your usual treatment cream on the face, neck and décolletage. Whenever you carry out the exfoliation with the "Gentle Exfoliator Lips and Contour", apply the lip volumiser cream after having removed the exfoliator.

Start-up preps piezo-MEMS auto-focus lens for smartphones
Keywords:poLight? MEMS? piezo-actuator? auto-focus lens? voice coil motor?
Norway-based poLight AS has accumulated nearly $19 million in a private placement of shares, to boost the deployment of its piezo-MEMS auto-focus lens technology, TLens. According to the start-up, it is working with several potential customers and is increasing manufacturing capacity in cooperation with ST as a manufacturing partner, with volume production planned for 2H15.
Assembled at wafer level, each 2.9mm x 2.9mm TLens consists of a very thin piezo-actuator layer on top of a thin glass membrane that deforms a soft polymer sandwiched with a thicker layer of glass. By applying varying voltages (up to 30V), the piezo actuator forces the thin glass membrane to bend, deforming the polymer underneath it and varying the optical focus.
Piezo-actuator layer on top of a thin glass membrane
The TLens is claimed to be 10 times faster than existing voice coil motor (VCM) lenses, while drawing 20 times less power. These features make them very attractive as a replacement for bulkier VCM assemblies, also enabling fast consecutive multi-focus shots to implement full-focus photos in software, noted the company.
Although Tlens depends on STs fab capacity, the company owns the full process IP and could easily second source its capacity.
The company has also developed a proof-of-concept for image stabilisation, again with a very low power consumption, no inertia and no wobbling compared to multiple VCM assemblies.
Next step for poLight will be to become a public listed company. We will probably do a pre-IPO by late 2015 or mid-2016 when we are in the market and are starting to generate revenue, an IPO could follow 12 months later, stated the company's CEO.
One could establish a parallel with Wavelens, a French start-up with similar performance claims for another MEMS-based lens technology using an oil-filled cavity instead of a polymer for the optical variation.

Around a year ago I noticed a small lump in my forearm (about mid-way between my wrist and elbow). Recently I have noticed a small one near my right elbow and another one the size of a pea near my left elbow. At the end of December I noticed a rather large hard lump on my neck beneath my left ear near the jaw. I saw my GP, an ER Dr., and a surgeon about a month ago and none of them seemed very concerned. I'm scheduled for a follow-up with the surgeon in about a week. None of the original lumps have gone away and I now have another hard one beneath my right ear near the jaw and around 4 other smaller pea sized ones in my neck and another small one near my right elbow. I haven't been sick the last few months and since they haven't gone away I'm thinking they aren't from an infection or illness so they could be a sign of some form of cancer. Is seeing a surgeon the correct thing to do? What kind of specialist should I see? I have between 12 and 18 of these lumps that I know of. I haven't really been able to eat or sleep the last few days out of worry and I am just looking for some advice. Thank You.
Responses (1)
I'm concerned about the cause too. If you don't have a generalized infection, which isn't really likely, then those lumps need to be paid attention to. Ask the surgeon if they should be biopsied or what? What is causing it? Biopsies are done for more then cancer by the way. Tell him you are very concerned and would like something done to find out what it is.

A 12-year-old girl who was on life support after getting pulled from Jersey Shore waters last week has died, according to NBC New York.
Emily Pedro-Gonzalez was going for an evening dip at Belmar Beach with her cousin Thursday when the pair got stranded in the rough surf.
The girl's cousin, 13-year-old Mitzi Hernandez, died that day after being pulled ashore by bystanders.
Emily had been pulled out of the water 30 minutes earlier by police responding to a swimmer-in-distress call and was rushed to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune.
Emily was fighting for her life before passing away Monday morning, according to Belmar Mayor Matthew Doherty.
Lifeguards are only on duty on the weekends as summer approaches and school is still in session, so none was present at the time of the incident.
Lifeguards were patrolling Friday in response to the drownings, according to NJ.com.

Mortgagee Letter 2015-03 is a grave policy misguidance. It should be revoked before it exposes surviving spouses, lenders, the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage program, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the reverse mortgage industry to more unnecessary pain.
Issued on Jan. 29 as guidance to lenders to relieve the foreclosure-displacement crisis, the letter affects 12,000 older Americans (by National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association estimates) who are the surviving non-borrowing spouses of HECM reverse mortgage borrowers who took HECMs before Aug. 4, 2014. While it is billed as relief for these consumers, that relief is questionable.
A new federal lawsuit filed on April 16, Snyder v. Castro, is an early warning that the policy letter is a cruel, bureaucratic farce designed to shift HUD's responsibility for the crisis to vulnerable victims of its own policy failures.
Three plaintiffs — Janet Snyder of Las Vegas, Karen Hunziker of Pollock Pines, Calif., and Howard Gill Jr. of Burnsville, N.C. — are facing foreclosure and displacement because their lenders have determined that they cannot surmount the hurdles HUD built into the Mortgagee Optional Election Assignment in Mortgagee Letter 2015-03.
Rather than relief, the MOE assignment is bringing foreclosure and displacement and anguish to consumers. According to the lawsuit, Snyder is slated for foreclosure as early as April 27, May 15 is Hunziker's foreclosure date, and Gill's is July 1st. For example, for Mrs. Snyder to qualify for HUD's MOE assignment, she must come up with $63,000 for a loan originated in 2006, according to the complaint. Since she does not have that sum, she will be evicted from her home on April 27 in violation of federal law.
These foreclosures are illegal under federal law because they are triggered by the death of the borrowing spouses. Yet they will proceed because HUD wants the lenders to foreclose as a condition for paying their insurance claims.
The same HUD that created the problems by issuing illegal regulations and by directing lenders through an earlier policy letter, Mortgagee Letter 2006-25, to remove non-borrowing spouses from title to their homes through questionable quitclaiming practice. Rogue actors in the industry followed HUD's "guidance" in ML 2006-25, and HUD is punishing the victims.
It is plain blackmail. As an agency of the U.S. federal government, HUD should be ashamed for trampling on the law it is charged with administering and for using its awesome bureaucratic might to intimidate and bully lenders into committing illegal acts that will embroil them in litigation for years unless ML 2015-03 is rescinded.
In private conversations, lenders have repeatedly indicated that they do not want to foreclose on surviving spouses because they know the spouses are victims of HUD's policies and because it hurts the reputation of the product and the industry. But as thinly-capitalized small businesses with their investments and survival at stake, they are being forced by HUD to foreclose.
Protection from displacement for homeowners is a core purpose of HECM law and the HECM program, and so is protection against crossover-investment loss for lenders' insured loans. Borrowers' equity pays the insurance premiums that HUD uses to pay claims. And as HUD Secretary Julian Castro told Congress on Feb. 11, HUD's Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund is flush with more than $46 billion in cash to pay claims.
In addition, Castro said the MMIF expects to take in more than $7 billion a year in the next several years.
According to HUD's own questionable estimate in court papers a few days before Castro's testimony to Congress, the non-borrowing spouses' fiasco could cost a mere $1.8 billion at most if HUD accepts unfettered assignment of the disputed loans. It claimed the $1.8 billion dubious estimate would cause irreparable damage to the MMI Fund, and it is the reason for the cost-shifting "guidance" called ML 2015-03.
Since 2008, major private banks and other financial institutions have paid more than $120 billion for their mortgage-related business mistakes. Why should HUD go scot-free by forcibly shifting the costs of its unlawful conduct to the victims of the conduct? What kind of country allows a government agency to kick widowed spouses it is charged with protecting from displacement out of their homes with impunity?
What kind of lessons is HUD teaching the private companies it regulates? Who is going to hold HUD accountable for these blatant breaches of law and ethical conduct? Where is Sen. Elizabeth Warren? Where is Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray? Where is President Obama? Where is America's outrage at injustice to more than 12,000 surviving spouses and some lenders? Where is justice for powerless older Americans?
Mortgagee Letter 2015-03 is a heavy-handed and shameless attempt by HUD to forcibly shift responsibility to the victims of its policy and business failures. It should be quashed before more than 12,000 vulnerable older Americans are illegally kicked out of their homes.

SOURCE: Meritage Homes Corporation
October 29, 2015 08:00 ET
SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - October 29, 2015) - Meritage Homes Corporation (NYSE: MTH), a leading U.S. homebuilder, announced today third quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2015.
Summary Operating Results (unaudited)(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
"Our third quarter results reflect strong order growth in our east and west regions this year, which drove a 21% increase in our third quarter home closing revenue," said Steven J. Hilton, chairman and chief executive officer of Meritage Homes. "I am pleased that we were able to deliver more than 1,700 homes to our customers during the quarter despite encountering headwinds from labor shortages and weather-related challenges in some of our markets.
"Rising construction costs driven by labor shortages have pressured our home closing gross margin this year, which was 19% for the third quarter," said Mr. Hilton. "However, we expect to see our margins increase over the next 12-18 months as we improve the margins in our East region, made up primarily of new markets we have entered in recent years, which have not yet achieved anticipated operating efficiencies.
"We finished the third quarter with 250 actively selling communities -- more than we have ever had in our 30-year history, which positions us for additional growth in 2016. While recent order volumes may be less robust than expected and conditions vary by market, they remain healthy overall. We believe our expanded position in many of the best markets will provide for more consistent performance over the long term," continued Mr. Hilton.
"As we enter our fourth quarter, we are doing our best to complete and close homes by year-end where schedules have slipped due to weather and labor issues, so that our customers can move in as soon as possible. Based on our backlog and current costs, we anticipate fourth quarter home closing revenue of approximately $750-800 million and diluted EPS of approximately $1.10-1.35 for the quarter."
Management will host a conference call today to discuss the Company's results at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (8:00 a.m. Arizona Time).

We can't overstate the popularity of this week's Gruene Music & Wine Festival that runs from Oct. 10-13 at the Gruene Historical District in New Braunfels, just 6.8 miles from our campground.
Organizers of this 27th annual event assign the proceeds to United Way of Comal County and have set a goal of topping $100,000! That goal is obtainable (more than $125,000 was raised last year) and the festival appeals to a broad spectrum of music.

Here is a list of the skills you can pay me to put to work for your outlet!
Posted by Jason Venter (December 03, 2016)
My name is Jason Venter. I am a freelancer blogger, a webmaster, a gamer and a number of other things that probably aren't relevant to this post. Today, I am posting to let you know that I suddenly find myself without the sort of regular work that will allow me to keep a roof over my head and food in my belly. I would like to revert to or even improve upon the prior condition that I enjoyed this morning, which found me just barely managing to pay for lodgings and food. So I thought I would tell you a bit about the skills I possess that you might be able to use as you build online projects.
I can work with HTML.
I don't want to oversell this quality, but I've been using HTML for almost 20 years. I used HTML, CSS, PHP and assorted other knowledge to build the very web site you are viewing. From scratch. I also built HonestGamers from scratch.
I am not telling you this as a way to offer my web design skills. Rather, I am letting you know that I am at least as comfortable as most applicants when you need someone to work with light HTML. You won't have to spend 10 minutes acquainting me with the process to make text bold or to italicize it.
I am familiar with Wordpress.
I've never designed sites in Wordpress, but I'm comfortable enough with the CMS that I can submit articles within it. I have done so for multiple outlets, working within a variety of templates.
I can write game reviews.
I have written more than 700 reviews for my own site. I wrote more than 50 reviews during my time as an editor at Hardcore Gamer Magazine (now-defunct, but awesome while it lasted). I have written more than 50 reviews for GameSpot, wrote several for Joystiq (RIP), wrote around 10 more for GamesRadar and I have also written reviews elsewhere.
I can write game guides.
I have written around 50 guides for IGN, and I have written guides of varying degrees of depth for a number of other leading outlets, including GameSpot and Polygon. I also built a custom CMS to write guides for my own site, HonestGamers, and they're pretty great.
I can write news articles.
I currently write editorial for a few clients where my work is uncredited, but I have also written credited work for outlets such as Nvision and Hands-On for several years. I also wrote a number of articles for IGN, though I ultimately had to pursue other work due to scheduling conflicts at the time.
I am very familiar with video games.
My personal library of games, including digital titles, includes approximately 2700 titles. It continues to grow, when I have money to spend on such things. I have been playing games since around 1988, for a variety of systems. I am an obsessive fan of console games in particular, but I have also played and written about numerous games for PC, iOS and Android. My background makes it easy to jump in and get to work (though I currently know next to nothing about competitive gaming, and sports titles are definitely not an area of expertise).
I can be a community manager.
I do have experience as a community manager. It's not substantial experience, but I was the community manager at Hardcore Gamer Magazine's official site for approximately a year, and I have been the de facto community manager at my own site for most of two decades. I enjoy civil interactions with other people who share my interests (games, primarily), and I'm always looking for ways to ignite a community. That's especially true if that community has resources.
I read and write fiction quite a lot.
I have read hundreds of novels in my lifetime, in a variety of genres. I especially enjoy mystery novels, as well as fantasy and science fiction. I have written in those two genres myself. I am comfortable discussing fiction and looking into what makes it work, generally in an online workshop environment.
If any of the above skills sound like a good match for work that you have available, I would love to hear from you. Reach out to me through the Contact link at the bottom of this page, or reach me directly at jasonventer AT yahoo DOT com. I am attempting to replace at least $1500 of monthly income. I tend to work quickly, I am thorough, and I take pride in the work I do for you and your brand. For recommendations and additional information about my experience and education, please see my LinkedIn profile. I hope to hear from you soon, so we can achieve great things together!
[Reviews] The Thin ManA breezy sort of detective story that makes me wish Hammett explored these characters in additional novels.
[Reviews] The Glass KeyTakes Hammett's usual focus on murder and mixes it with a dash of political corruption, with mixed results.

244 F.2d 780
100 U.S.App.D.C. 332
Norman A. PELTIER, Appellant,
Fred A. SEATON, Secretary of the Interior, et al., Appellees.
No. 13370.
United States Court of Appeals District of Columbia Circuit.
Argued March 6, 1957.
Decided May 23, 1957.
Mr. John Henry Fallon, Washington, D.C., for appellant.
Mr. John W. Kern, III, Asst. U.S. Atty., with whom Messrs. Oliver Gasch, U.S. Atty., and Lewis Carroll, Asst. U.S. Atty., were on the brief, for appellees.
Before EDGERTON, Chief Judge, and PRETTYMAN and FAHY, Circuit Judges.
Appellant, a former fire marshal on the island of Guam, was dismissed in 1951. After long negotiations for a settlement, in the course of which he received encouragement from government agencies, he filed in 1953 and amended in 1954 a complaint alleging his dismissal was illegal and asking to be restored to his position. On the ground of laches, the District Court rendered summary judgment for the defendants. In all the circumstances we are unable to agree that the appellant was guilty of laches. We think the amended complaint and the answer, and the conflicting affidavits, raise issues which should be resolved.
Reversed amd remanded.

Flower Garden
Cut back lupins and delphiniums that have finished flowering to encourage a second flush later in the season. Continue to deadhead the flower border on a regular basis as this will also encourage more flowers later on. Don't forget to feed all the flower borders and containers every two weeks and water well in dry weather. Containers may need watering as much as twice a day in very hot weather. Keep up with the weeding otherwise the weeds will take moisture and nutrients meant for your flowers. Take time out to sit in your garden and enjoy!
Keep mowing regularly unless there is a drought. Set the mower blade slightly higher than before so that if it becomes very hot the grass will not dry out so much. Only water any recently sown grass or new turf. If an existing lawn does go brown it will recover after the first rains.
Fruit and Vegetables
If apple trees are still over crowded with fruit after the June drop then take out any blemished fruit and the central apple from each cluster. As soon as summer fruiting raspberries have been cropped cut out the old canes. Regularly pick courgettes to prevent them from becoming marrows. Pick peas and beans as soon as they are ready or they will become tough and stringy later. Lift and use over wintered onions. Sow spring cabbage and winter salad crop seeds.
Top up bird feeders and tables regularly but avoid chunky food that could be taken back to fledglings and choke them and keep the bird bath topped up with fresh water. Plant marigolds around the vegetable garden to attract hoverflies and grow more plants that have single flowers rather then doubles as these seem to attract insects better. Don't deadhead roses that produce hips as these will be a valuable food source later on in the season.
Looking Good This Month
Delphinium - Tall growing stately flowers in many shades.
Helianthus - Sun flower. Tallest growing flower with large heads.
Nicotiana - Flowering tobacco. Large leaves with fragrant white flowers.
Nymphaea - Water lilies. Good colour, shape and coverage of ponds.
Roses - Climbers, ramblers, bush, shrub and patio. Good colour and scent.
Solanum Crispum - Potato vine. Fast growing climber. Profuse lilac or white flowers.
Verbena Bonariensis - Tall airy plant that you can see through with purple flowers atop.
Wood burning is better in environmental terms than most fuels as the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is the same as that absorbed by the tree during growth. It is also a renewable resource, particularly when derived from plantations and cultivated woodland. When using your wood burning stove, for optimum results, we recommend logs should be seasoned for 2 years or more to achieve a moisture content below 20%. This will not only give up to twice the output of freshly felled timber but help avoid a build up of tar in your stove's flue. Not only do modern woodburning stoves burn much cleaner and more efficiently than older conventional stoves, but the view of the fire is just spectacular. By upgrading to a CE certified and HETAS accredited wood burning stove, you can save wood, reduce smoke and enjoy the view all winter long.
The Forestry Commission have recommended that millions of trees are planted to cover an extra 4% of the UK in woodland, equivalent to 30,000 football pitches a year, increasing the UK's total woodland cover to 16%. According to the Solid Fuel Technology Institute, logs are the cheapest form of heating energy. The cost per kW of useful energy is now around 4p. This compares to 5p for anthracite, 7p for natural gas, 7.5p for oil, 9p for LPG and 12p for electricity.
House Warming Selby presently have a number of stoves on special offer. Although summer might seem like a counterintuitive time to consider a stove installation, it actually has a number of advantages. Most obvious of which is it's reasonably warm outside so you'll not loose the heater from your house during installation.
Himalayan balsam is a plant native to the Himalayas and was introduced to Britain by Victorian plant hunters. The first record of it being planted in gardens is 1839.
It can be identified by a pink, slipper-shaped flower which has a sickly sweet smell. It has a hollow stem and can grow up to two metres tall. The exploding seed pods can scatter seeds up to seven metres from the parent plant.
It's often found growing along riverbanks where it rapidly outcompetes our native plants, forming large, dense patches. The seeds remain viable in watercourses and those transported downstream can establish new colonies. The plant is annual so it dies back completely in winter, leaving riverbanks without any stabilising vegetation, making them susceptible to erosion. With more water run-off into rivers the sediments reduce water quality, and spawning areas of salmon and other fish can be smothered and the risk of flooding increases.
A bit of background
Our project began in 2008 following concern over the large amount of Himalayan balsam found along the lower sections of the River Rye. However, as the plant's seeds can be spread via watercourses we needed to start tackling the balsam right at the top of the catchment and work downstream. This meant starting on the River Seph which begins at Chop Gate in Bilsdale and is the main river that flows into the River Rye. The River Seph in turn is formed from the confluence of Raisdale Beck and Bilsdale Beck.
Getting it under control
A survey was carried out in 2008 to map out where the balsam was growing, then in 2009 the control work began on two tributaries - Raisdale Beck and Bilsdale Beck. Local contractors were hired to do the bulk of the control work through a combination of strimming and hand pulling, the local community and volunteers have also helped.
By 2012 we had covered 21km (13.5 miles) of riverbank, taking control work right up to the confluence of the River Seph with the River Rye. We also carried out repeat control work which is necessary due to the presence of a seedbank in the soil (seeds can remain viable for approximately 18 months) and the varying growth rate of the plant. Control work also began along an embankment north of the village of Hawnby which was found to be abundant with balsam. National Park Volunteers also tackled stretches of riverbank on the Rye in Duncombe Park National Nature Reserve, working with Natural England.
The Sweet Smell of Success
The project is now in its sixth year and we are delighted our efforts are proving to be worthwhile. Very little balsam is now being found in those areas previously controlled, and in some areas the balsam has been eradicated.
This year, 2013, we were able to extend the control work onto the River Rye and tackle the stretch from the Seph confluence as far down as Rievaulx Bridge, a distance of about six km (four miles).
Next year we will continue our work on the Rye and extend the control area all the way to Helmsley and the National Park boundary. Hopefully the small amount of balsam left in the Seph catchment can be hand pulled by local volunteers.

COACHELLA FEST: We've pulled together the must-listen Coachella lineup for 2013
California's hotter-than-hot Coachella music fest is almost here, and we couldn't be more excited to join the sweaty-chic masses. The buzzworthy bash in sunny Indio spans two weekends, April 12-14 and April 19-21, bringing a packed lineup and plenty of food and drink for music lovers.
When Coachella first began in 1999, headliners included Rage Against the Machine, Beck, andMorrissey, drawing a crowd of 10,000 people. Since then, Kanye West has headlined in 2011 and Tupac returned in a mind-blowing hologram performance last year. This year, Blur and theStone Roses co-headline, along with Phoenix and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The fest's impressive lineup also features big names like Earl Sweatshirt, The XX, Grizzly Bear, James Blake, andPassion Pit. The event's food scene is just as jumping, with a beer garden opening and a fleet of top food trucks.
Grab your sunblock and get ready for the ultimate musical experience. And if you can't make it to Coachella this year, YouTube's live streaming the event. Party on. —Mina Kang
