Cable giant Comcast is paying some $125 million for Daily Candy, a lifestyle-oriented website and e-mail newsletter that reaches 2.5 million readers, mostly women. Founded in 2000, Daily Candy publishes 13 daily editions and eight weekly editions, organized by locale or interest.
I myself subscribe to several of the e-mails that talk about the hottest new restaurants, fashion, travel, and yes occasionally candy. As advertisers increasingly aim to reach targeted demographics, Daily Candy's base of youngish women in urban areas who are interested in finding out the coolest new ways to spend their money makes it particularly appealing.
How does this fit with Comcast's cable business? Well Comcast has an Interactive Media division, that also includes its Fancast online video site, and Fandango and Movies.com. And Comcast.net, a web portal to access Comcast's distribution is a popular site.
Comcast will try to grow Daily Candy by promoting it across those other web platforms, and will pull from Daily Candy's content to bolster the other sites. And since the line beween the web and TV is increasingly blurred, Comcast can also use Daily Candy with the TV channels it owns, like E! entertainment.
And this story doesn't just touch one media giant, but two. Comcast is buying Daily Candy from The Pilot Group a private investment firm run by Robert Pittman. Remember him? He got the boot from the company now known as Time Warner when the AOL-Time Warner acquisition didn't work out so well. His firm bought a controlling stake in Daily Candy for $3.5 million in 2003 then put the property up for sale for some $100 million a few years ago. And he's not just an investor, he's helped the newsletter's founder Dany Levy grow it into a better marketing vehicle for retail brands.

The Parking Spot has five separate locations in and around Dallas, all of which accept coupons, as of 2015. Each location has its own coupons, however, so a coupon for one Dallas location is not accepted at the others.
The best way to get a Parking Spot coupon is to visit the company's website, TheParkingSpot.com. Click on the Airport Parking Locations tab on the top-right of the page, and a list of locations pops up. Choose one of the five locations for Dallas, and a new screen tailored for that particular location appears. There is a Coupons tab on the right side of the new page. If you click on it, a new window opens with a printable coupon.
While a coupon can be acquired for any Dallas location in this manner, it is a different coupon for each. It may be for covered or uncovered parking, usable on a daily or weekly basis, offer a different discount or have other unique restrictions. Read it carefully before attempting to use it.

Strop - Razor Strop Leather - 200mm x 70mmLEATHERSTROP
Strop - Razor Strop Leather - 200mm x 70mm
This leather strop is made from English Cowhide, 5mm thick, and is taken from the "bend" of the cow which is the best part for producing strops
This leather forms a robust strop that will not round or dub your blade's edge. It's supplied loose in readiness for gluing to either a flat or curved timber substrate, depending on whether it is to be used for chisel and plane irons or carving tools.
In our workshop we glue this leather to English Sweet Chestnut, fine side out using Titebond III, and once the glue has cured we dress the strop with baby oil to open the pores in readiness for impregnating with Veritas Honing Compound. Redress the strop ever couple of months with the baby oil to cleanse any metal contamination away before re-charging with the honing compound.
The strop is an essential for edge retention; it's a traditional sharpening tool which is very clean and left on the bench top for improving the edge of chisels or plane blades during daily use. It's very quick and clean to use rather than going back to the messy full procedure of re-sharpening.
Whatever sharpening medium you use, you may finish off by stropping to remove the very fine wire edge.

As prepared for delivery on April 24, 2013.
Members of the family of Officer Sean Collier; Vice President Biden; Governor of the Commonwealth, Deval Patrick; Institute President, Rafael Reif; members of the MIT community and honored members of law enforcement: on behalf of the men and women of the MIT Police Department, thank you for being here with us to honor the memory of our fallen brother Sean Collier.
On December 23, 1776, Thomas Paine wrote the article entitled "The Crisis." In this article he created a phrase that lives with us to this day and is often referenced
during times of great difficulty. "These are the times that try men's souls."
While appropriate to underscore the tragedy that we faced last Thursday, I believe, with all due respect to Thomas Paine, that the phrase as written does not fully describe the extent to which we as a department mourn the loss of Officer Collier. I believe in this case it should read: "These are the times that try men's intellect, their hearts and their souls."
We say intellect because it is so very difficult to understand why such a senseless, brutal act was perpetrated on such a gentle, caring man. We say hearts because our hearts are truly broken and it is a daily struggle to not fall into a state of despair so deep and overwhelming that we do not recognize it for the false comfort it is and from which we will not recover. And it tries our souls, the true essence of who we are, for we feel almost betrayed by the society we have sworn to serve.
As every member of law enforcement knows, there is risk every time we don the uniform. But does the risk have to result in such devastation?
As I look out on this vast sea of uniforms, so many different styles and colors, I cannot help but to think of the many different reasons why the individuals wearing these uniforms chose this profession.
Many were looking for the job security a career in law enforcement brings, others a little excitement and a break from the mundane. The ability to belonging to an exclusive group has appeal to some, and others, a chance for perhaps a bit of status.
In my case, I was just looking for a job. But then there are those few who were born to enter the profession. It is a calling, a vocation. It is a desire to do good, help people and tackle the problems of a modern society.
In a meaningful way, I believe that Sean was one of those few. In fact, at yesterday's funeral mass his mother told us that he wanted to be a police officer from the age of seven. I was thirty-seven before I knew I wanted to be a cop—and I was already on the State Police fifteen years! His brother shared with us the story of how he was more concerned with a woman in a restaurant than having pizza with his family because she was eating alone. A pretty good indicator of what was to come.
And Sean had a plan and was determined to achieve his dream. Upon graduating from high school he attended Salem State College where he majored in Criminal Justice. While in school he interviewed at the Somerville Police Department and apparently impressed them enough that he was hired as a non-sworn employee. He later attended the police academy as a self-sponsor and paid his own way, with no promise of employment but available for some lucky police department with a vacancy who had no idea of the full potential of this young man, and that lucky department would be MIT.
What made Sean so good? There are many reasons, but I believe that most important is the fact that he was the same person while in uniform as he was out of uniform. His caring and compassion was genuine and without duplicity, and because of this depth of character he was able to achieve a level of trust with people of all backgrounds that was truly remarkable. This was indeed a trait that would serve him well during his time at MIT.
Like any other large entity or organization, MIT has its own set of unique challenges for law enforcement. Its sheer size and complexity as well as its large population add to this challenge. However, it is its diverse population from all over the world that at times needs special attention and presents a unique opportunity for policing. You see, many of our students come from countries where the police are not their friend. Oftentimes they are brutal, corrupt and oppressive. Unfortunately, when many of these students arrive on our shores and look at American law enforcement, they are seeing the police in their own country. Sean understood this right away. He made it his mission, his goal, to gain their trust, confidence and—as we have learned from the many emails we have been receiving from the student body—eventually their love.
He attended their events, joined their clubs, helped them with their problems and was accepted into their hearts. But as Sean's sister said yesterday, he was far from a nerd. To quote one of our officers, Dusty Miller, "Sean lived life in the fast lane." I am sure his love of life and that mischievous grin added to his ability to connect with students. I have an email from Sean, one I will keep for a long time, and in that email he asks me for permission to become involved in the local homeless shelter so he could, in his words, "maybe deal with issues before they become problems." Most of us cross the street to avoid a homeless person. Sean was volunteering to enter their world! This was truly who he was.
My last contact with Sean was at approximately 9:30 p.m. last Thursday night. I was leaving the Stata garage and I saw one of our cruisers parked on the ramp next to the wall. I pulled next to the cruiser and saw it was Sean. I asked him what was up, and he gave me that famous grin and said, "Making sure everybody is behaving, Sir." I told him to have a safe night and drove away. An hour later I received that call that is every chief's worst nightmare.
In conclusion, on behalf of the MIT PD, I wish to offer Sean's family our sincere condolences. But I wish to also thank you for giving us Sean. He left us a legacy and was a shining example of what law enforcement should be. To the MIT community and the Cambridge Police Department, we offer you our profound thanks for the overwhelming help and support, without which we could not continue. To the thousands of law enforcement officers present, thank you for coming: you have our respect and admiration and we wish you godspeed.
And to Sean: you have our undying love and the promise that you will never be forgotten.

My research area is mathematical analysis, more precisely, theoretical aspects of nonlinear partial differential equations. The main focus is on regularity theory for a wide class of singular and degenerate elliptic and parabolic equations. These equations are connected to many different applications, such as diffusion in highly nonhomogeneous media and the motions of multiphased fluids in porous media. Methods from harmonic analysis are applied extensively and the research is also conducted in nonsmooth contexts, ultimately in metric measure spaces.
Bachelor, diploma and doctoral theses
I am glad to discuss possible topics for bachelor,
diploma and doctoral theses.
Please come and talk more with me, any time I am in my office M226.
Advanced courses in mathematical analysis
I offer courses as supported self study packages. Contents and material will be decided individually. For example, it may consist of lecture notes, books, research papers and regular appointments with the instructor. The grading is based on homework assignments, seminar presentations, home or oral exams. There are no particular prerequisites.
Topics include
Harmonic analysis (maximal functions, Muckenhoupt
weights, Calderon-Zygmund theory, BMO)
Modern real analysis
Nonlinear partial differential equations (nonlinear parabolic equations, porous medium equation)
Analysis on metric measure spaces (Sobolev spaces, minimizers and quasiminimizers for elliptic and parabolic variational problems, functions of bounded variation, minimal surfaces, variational problems with linear growth)

I. General Babywearing Safety
In any carrier, baby should have a clear airway, be in an age appropriate carry, have no risk of falling out of the carrier, and be fully supported by the carrier (this means no slumping, or ability to "break out" of a carrier)
it is useful to remember this acronym:
Always make sure that baby's airway is clear and that fresh air is available. This means no fabric or anything else over baby's face. It also means, for really little babies, making sure that baby's chin is not down to chest, or that baby's head has not fallen backwards, since either of these positions can close off baby's airway.
Baby's body should not slump in the carrier – baby's back and body should be fully supported by the carrier, which should be tight around baby's body. This also means that baby has age appropriate knee to knee support, with knees higher than bum. Basically, you want baby's body to be in the same position it would be in if you were holding baby.
Is the carry comfortable for both you and your baby? It is helpful to be confident in the carry you are doing and to get a spotter if necessary.
II. When can I …
a) wear my baby with legs in
It is actually recommended that you wear baby with legs out from birth. For newborns, make sure the carrier allows baby to put his legs in the position he prefers. For most, this means knees hip width apart and tucked up slightly towards the tummy.
b) do front carries
From birth
c) do hip carries
When baby can sit up with assistance – usually around 4 months
d) do back carries
When baby can sit up unassisted – usually around 6 months
III. What can I do while babywearing?
The short answer is, if you can do it while holding baby, you can do it while wearing baby. The reverse of this is also true. If you wouldn't:
-ride a bike
-mow the lawn
-cook with heat
-jump on a trampoline
-drive or ride in a car
while holding your baby in your arms, it is also unsafe to do so while wearing.
III. Babywearing safety, by carrier type
a) wraps
-Any kind of back carry without reinforcing passes (i.e. cross passes) can present a falling risk to baby. Therefore these types of carries are recommended only for advanced wrappers and wrap-friendly babies. Examples include back rebozo, RRRR (pirate's carry), DHTUB, etc.
-felted wool wraps are unsafe for wearing – the felted wool can tear really easily
-use of rings with wraps is an extremely advanced move. BWI only advocates rings on the front, at corsage level and should not be used to finish a carry.
b) ring slings
-cradle carry in a rs is recommended only for nursing. It is not necessarily a hands-free carry and please pay special attention to baby's airway in this situation. When baby is done, it's safest to put baby back in an upright position.
-a back carry in a rs is an extremely advanced carry that most of our VBEs even try to avoid, or only use in an emergency situation. This is doubly true of using a rs to ruck with the rings UB.
c) soft structured carriers and mei tais
-be advised that hip carries in some SSCs and MTs are not entirely hands-free
d) pouches
-proper sizing is essential for safe pouch wearing. Each pouch maker has slightly different sizing, but for any pouch it should stretch the length of the top of your hipbone to the outside of your opposite shoulder (e.g. from right shoulder to left hip) BEFORE you put it on.
-cradle carry in a pouch is recommended only for nursing. It is not necessarily a hands-free carry and please pay special attention to baby's airway in this situation. When baby is done, it's safest to put baby back in an upright position.
-pouches are not safe for back carries

For most marketers, the growth of multicultural segments became a business imperative after the 2000 Census and the generational focus shifted from boomer to Gen Y. If you're managing a large brand today, you are likely addressing these opportunities through some combination of targeted Hispanic, African American or Asian, and youth-marketing initiatives.
But today that segmentation is not enough; a bigger change is emerging that is more meaningful than just demography. Tech-adoption habits, an increasingly dense urban landscape and a globalized environment mean that Americans live within a fluid conversation through which new influences catch on quickly and then spread like wildfire. "Cultural hybridity," whereby consumers are increasingly defining themselves in multiple ways as a result of "cultural bumping" (picking and choosing from the influences they are exposed to and creating new ones as they go) has added layers of nuance to consumer profiles.
For the CMO, the question becomes how to connect to complex audience segments that are shifting fast and are at once more global in outlook but more fragmented, all against a backdrop of "doing more with less" and measured accountability? The short answer: Rip up the playbook.
Traditional approaches for identifying and reaching audiences must change. The very notion of a "general market," a euphemism for a mainstream, largely white U.s., must go away. Instead, CMOs need to start thinking about a rapidly morphing, culturally and ethnically diverse set of nations-within-a-nation: the new America.
In a real-time, hybridized consumer culture, there are many more influences on consumers' choices than occurred in the command-and-control era of media-dictated culture. This signifies a greater need to "get under the hood" of visible consumer behaviors to understand emerging cultural connection points, whether for a multicultural or general-market effort.
As CMO, your job, as never before, is to understand your brand's role in the creation of culture and identity. Here are a few guideposts for navigating this new territory and creating a marketing playbook relevant to the new America:
1. Extrapolate the values that come from multicultural marketing.
Multicultural marketing has always been about finding connection points, through cultural relevance to an ethnic audience. Now cultural relevance takes on an even more important role in the overall marketing mix, and brands need to ensure that they are tied to the cultural drivers that underpin a specific market. Pepsi's Refresh Everything campaign was launched in the spirit of political and social change that defined Barack Obama's candidacy, energized a group of diverse millennials looking to push the country's reset button, and helped reposition Pepsi as a modern brand.
2. Embrace the need for complexity.
The days of a mainstream culture and counter-culture are largely gone. Brand messages not only have to be culturally connected, but they have to be delivered with the nuances that reflect specific target audiences -- and in the right channels. Absolut Vodka softly targets a LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) segment with viral videos about urban farming. A slice of that Pepsi campaign offers an inspirational message to African-American moms in social media.
3. Listen and look for the trends.
Where once styles, tastes and, yes, sentiments on products were dictated to us through tightly scripted media, today consumers dictate the rules. But in the age of fragmentation and cultural hybridity, there are lots of waves for marketers to ride. Anime, salsa, drift racing and afropunk are all phenomena that started with ethnic roots and grew into marketable opportunities. In this fast-shifting cultural mix, trends take shape more often and faster; learning to understand and spot the shifts will give astute marketers a great advantage in uncovering marketing opportunities. The use and growth of social media is the ultimate trend within itself. It presents a significant chance for consumers to collaborate and brands to listen for opportunities in those conversations. The signposts for today's fast changes are coming from consumers themselves in this unprecedented era of consumer expression capacity. Twitter, tag clouds and crowdsourcing are as useful for brand monitoring as they are for peer-to-peer connectivity.
4. Settle into iterative living.
The pace at which these changes are taking place is much faster than most brand-marketing structures are built for. A brand launch that is a single moment in time is a concept of the past. To adapt to a more complex consumer-marketing structure, brands need to enter into the non-stop cycle of listening, testing and refining.
The 2010 Census will present an opportune moment for CMOs to refocus on the changes affecting the consumer landscape. These changes go beyond demographics and, for many brands, warrant a rightsizing of targeting strategies and the marketing mix. Brands that make the shift will find new opportunities in the emerging trends and segments to position for growth.

Today the Deep Impact spacecraft zipped past Comet 103P/Hartley 2 at a distance of about 435 miles (700 km) at 6:59:47 a.m. PDT (13:59:47 Universal Time). After confirming that the spacecraft had survived its 27,000-mile-per-hour brush with this icy interloper, the scientists and engineers who'd gathered at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California held their collective breath for about 20 minutes while waiting for the first images to be radioed to the ground.Any apprehension quickly turned to joy, as the views revealed the craft's pinpoint targeting and crisp images of an elongated, irregularly shaped body spewing gas and dust from a plethora of jets.
Spacecraft have now photographed five comets at close range, and with a length of just 1¼ miles (2 km), Hartley 2 is the smallest. However, as investigator Jessica Sunshine (University of Maryland) noted today during a press briefing, "It's the most interesting and, for its size, the most active."
Radar images acquired by Arecibo Observatory last week had prepared the mission scientists to expect an elongated body. But no one was anticipating such an unusual visage: the comet's two ends, both roughly textured, are the sources of perhaps dozens of individual jets, while the midsection looks completely smooth, as if covered deeply by a blanket of fine dust. "We have a lot of work to do to try to understand what's going on here," Sunshine admitted.
Project scientist Michael A'Hearn (University of Maryland) noted that images of the comet taken continuously since October 1st had shown periodic surges of carbon dioxide (CO2) emanating from the nucleus. Judging from the close-ups, he says it's now clear that "one area on the comet is incredibly rich in dry ice, and that's what drags out the grains and produces all the phenomena that we see."
Unlike spacecraft that veritably drip with instrumentation, Deep Impact carries a minimalist payload: medium- and high-resolution cameras, along with an infrared spectrometer.
Today's views were not the most detailed frames — those will be radioed back to Earth in the coming days. According to project manager Tim Larson, the spacecraft will continue to photograph the comet's nucleus for three more weeks as it recedes into the distance.
The rendezvous was the second cometary encounter for this spacecraft, which previously looked on as a large copper bullet slammed into Comet 9P/Tempel 1 on January 4, 2005. After that eventful encounter, NASA managers recommissioned the still-viable craft as the EPOXI mission, a combination of its two extended mission components: Extrasolar Planet Observations and Characterization (EPOCh), and the second cometary flyby, called the Deep Impact Extended Investigation (DIXI).
On hand for today's festivities at JPL were Malcolm Hartley and his wife. Hartley discovered this object in March 1986 on glass plates taken with the Siding Spring Observatory's UK Schmidt telescope in New South Wales, Australia. Its high eccentric path carries the comet from a perihelion near Earth's orbit out to beyond Jupiter and back every 6½ years. In fact, right now this periodic visitor is quite close to Earth and putting on a decent showing in the predawn sky.
Finally, here's something for you space-trivia buffs: There's actually been a sixth close flyby of a comet — in fact, it was a fly-through. Do you know which spacecraft it was? Offer your guess in the comments section below; I'll congratulate the first person to post the correct answer in a future story about the Comet Hartley 2 results!

Me: I wanted to invite you guys here today because I would like to see how you think. Understanding that will take me a long way to understanding how to approach my art better and will also keep me from having to see a shrink later this week.
The Creator: I'm game.
Captain Artist: What a waste of time.
The Manipulator: Well, I think it's a swell idea. With some insight into your own mind you can finally determine the easiest, most face saving way to create…as a hobby…without trying to force your art onto others who obviously aren't interested in it.
Me: Ok. Thanks for that.
THE MANIPULATOR: My pleasure.
Me: Let's start with some basic questions. Our readers…
THE MANIPULATOR: The three of them, including yourself and your wife.
Me: Actually, my wife doesn't read this.
THE MANIPULATOR: Just another sign.
THE CREATOR: This interview isn't about you. Wait for him to ask us a few questions and we can get everyone's point of view.
THE MANIPULATOR: Quite right. Let's get on with it.
Me: Great. So, our readers have seen my creative process. If you haven't, check it out HERE. I don't think we need to get into that now. What I would like to do is ask questions that other artists may be asking, as well as having something for enjoyers of art who have no interest in the technical side.
THE CREATOR: That sounds like a great idea!
Me: Thanks. First question – what sort of brushes do you prefer to use?
THE CREATOR: Oh, I love Rosemary & Co badger hair brushes. The brushes are handmade and are of the greatest quality I've ever used. They feel great in my hands, the bristles are long and just stiff enough to allow me to manipulate the paint while still maintaining a little distance from the canvas. Nothing adds tension to a painting like being right up on it. Agony. These are a little more expensive…maybe a lot more expensive. But they are worth have a few in your collection. Check them out at https://www.rosemaryandco.com And we don't get any money for the recommendation!
CAPTAIN ARTIST: For me, it's the Silver Line brushes. They hold a lot of paint, the bristles are just firm enough to offer a little bite for the canvas. And they are incredibly sturdy. We've got some that we've had for years and they still work wonderfully. Almost all of our brushes are Silver Line.
THE CREATOR: The ones with the green handles!
CAPTAIN ARTIST: No one cares about the handles.
THE CREATOR: Check them out at http://www.silverbrush.com/art/art_products/art_prod_intro.html
Me: You can thank my Mother-In-Law for some of those. Next question: We're working on a Tarot series. What drew you to that particular subject?
THE CREATOR: The tarot has such a rich history. And if you look at images of a particular tarot card you will see that they have so many different images, however, those images all have the same feeling. At least, with the good ones. A tarot card has a particular meaning, but it doesn't have to have the same image. This means that we can come up with a new way of saying something that still gives a similar message.
Me: Isn't that the opposite of how we usually work?
THE CREATOR: it is! Usually we create a painting and the entire point is that people come up with their own stories and meaning behind it. We're story tellers, but we also want to fill the world with many stories, not tell the viewer how to think. Usually. But, with this project we are trying to create an exact feeling. It's fascinating!
Me: Captain, would you agree?
CAPTAIN ARTIST: Hey, the best part of this project is that you have a set number of paintings and you have a set time you want to do it in. This is a project that takes discipline and perseverance. There are 22 cards in the major arcana, and now that it's started people are going to want to see a finished project. If you're a quitter, everyone will know it.
THE MANIPULATOR: Assuming anyone is actually paying attention.
THE CREATOR: <rolls his eyes>
Me: We use a lot of models for our work. Do you just ask everyone you see or is there a process to it?
THE CREATOR: Oh god, no! We need particular people. Sometimes there's a painting that demands something specific. Like "Beneath a Red Halo" needed a red-head. Or "Curtain of Night" needed someone fair haired. "Defending Her Honour" needed someone that the viewer would believe was strong, powerful.
On the other hand, sometimes there is just something about a person that demands being immortalized.
THE MANIPULATOR: Immortalized?
THE CREATOR: Yes! Sometimes some has eyes that are just striking, or a regal air about them. Maybe they have muscle tone that begs to be sculpted out of paint, or maybe they have a look that I can't get out of my mind. So, I go back and talk to them and ask them to pose.
CAPTAIN ARTIST: Mostly it's the first one. You need a dark-skinned man for a predominately pale background, I go through my list and find a dark skinned man. You need someone with breasts to lie backward on a table you…
THE CREATOR: It's not that base!
THE MANIPULATOR: Sure it is. Don't you think your models know you just want to look at their breasts?
Me: What?? That's not true!
THE MANIPULATOR: Well, even if it isn't true I'm sure they think that.
Me: Really?!?! That's terrible! I admit, many of my paintings have women in them, but that's because women are more interesting to look at, and not just from men's perspectives. Also, they tend to have more range. Power, love, lust, hate, trust…I can convey these emotions with female models much easier than I can with men.
THE MANIPULATOR: Also, women have breasts. We all know how you like that.
Me: But I'm not even a breast-man!
CAPTAIN ARTIST: Don't listen to him. He wouldn't know what to do with a breast if it came up and slapped him in the face.
THE MANIPULATOR: And you do?
CAPTAIN ARTIST: Hell yeah. I know exactly what to do with it. I'd paint it!
THE CREATOR: Yeah!
Me: Yeah! Tastefully!
THE MANIPULATOR: Whatever.
Me: Speaking of models, who are the best models to work with?
THE CREATOR: Not by name, right? I mean, that would be sort of crude to just…
CAPTAIN ARTIST: One of our best models, by far, is Bestest. She's open, takes direction well, and is incredibly versatile. Blondie-No-More is easy and fun to work with. She also takes direction well. That's important. I need you in and out and you need to do what I say fast. Heels is great with…
THE CREATOR: Hey! Uncool!
CAPTAIN ARTIST: What? He asked…
THE CREATOR: Don't call people out. What will the people you DON'T name think?
CAPTAIN ARTIST: Maybe they'll take a hint and get their shit together.
THE CREATOR: Besides, it's not just about "doing what I say." Sometimes I need a model who can do somethings on their own. Maybe the pose I have doesn't work as well as I think. I great model will have ideas of their own, and not be afraid to say "this is more comfortable" or "that seems forced." They need some creativity of their own, and a willingness to try things.
THE MANIPULATOR: Like Not-Jew.
THE CREATOR: Stop that!
Me: I don't want specific names. Just a descriptions.
THE CREATOR: Thank you. Anyway...patience, creativity, and pleasure. You have to enjoy it or the whole session is off.
THE MANIPULATOR: Like NerdDream. She can really…
THE CREATOR: Stop that!
THE MANIPULATOR: I'm giving a compliment. Not like I'm saying anything bad. Like how Dude is lazy and I can never get in touch with him when he's promised to do something.
THE CREATOR: Oh god, we're going to get sued.
THE MANIPULATOR: He's too dumb to sue anybody.
CAPTAIN ARTIST: Just like DimeBag. Dumb dumb dumb.
Me: Ok! New question!
CAPTAIN ARTIST: Remember the time StripperMom came to the studio wearing that hideous dress when we specifically told her to wear black slacks?
THE MANIPULATOR: Classic.
THE CREATOR: <sobbing>
Me: Ok, last question. If we didn't make as much money as we do painting, what would you do instead?
THE CREATOR: <sniffs> Um. I think I would continue to paint. It isn't about the money. It's about creating something and sharing it with the world.
CAPTAIN ARTIST: I would keep painting. If people don't like it, screw 'em! It isn't about the money; it's about doing something that you're good at and continuing to master it. You have to master something, right? Otherwise, you're a waste of space.
THE MANIPULATOR: Like DimeBag
THE CREATOR: Damn it! <runs out sobbing>
Me: How about you, Manipulator?
THE MANIPULATOR: Hmmm. I think I'd be a motivational speaker.

Timberlake Cabinet Company Helps Create Dynamic Selling Environment
Beazer Homes announced today the opening of its new divisional headquarters building and design studio in Orlando. Located at 2600 Maitland Center in the Maitland, Beazer Homes' new headquarters will have more than 19,000 square feet of office space and 2,000 square feet in its new design studio, doubling the size of its selection center. Timberlake Cabinet CompanyÔ, a leading supplier of cabinetry to the new construction and remodeling markets, is featured throughout the studio in three stunning kitchen vignettes, as well as numerous other built-in room applications, and provided design, merchandising and training expertise to Beazer.
Beazer Homes' new design studio and office complex is the result of the company's strong growth in the Florida market. The company averaged more than 400 appointments a year in its previous design studio and expects that volume to increase to about 600 this year.
"We will do about 600 units this year in the Orlando market," says Nancy VanBenschoten, design studio manager, Beazer Orlando. "Our new design studio will allow us to facilitate multiple appointments at the same time, and feature the variety of products our customers are seeking to customize their new homes. The products are the lifeblood of any design studio and what helps create the excitement and emotion for the homebuyer."
Cabinets normally make up 15 to 20 percent of a design studio space and are one of the biggest purchase decisions a consumer has to make. "The style of the cabinets often drives the product and color selection in the rest of house so it's important to show options," adds VanBenschoten. "Of course, the most important factor in a design studio is the flow and environment."
A well-organized and properly designed space plan was of key importance when developing Beazer's new layout. Guiding the customer in a logical progression through the selection process was a critical objective. Utilizing its retail expertise, Timberlake applied its design center merchandising program to help Beazer optimize its space and effectively position product to encourage the sale of options and upgrades. Simultaneously, it offered suggestions on how to create a logical, yet functional flow that is inviting to the homebuyer overall.
"Builders face a number of challenges in establishing effective design centers," says Gary Rosenfield, vice president, professional markets, Timberlake. "Partnering with manufacturers with retail expertise can help builders create dynamic selling environments that boost overall customer satisfaction."
Timberlake cabinets are featured throughout Beazer's new design studio in three high-end kitchen vignettes, as well as numerous other built-in room applications such as home offices and entertainment centers. Timberlake's new DurangoÔ door style in Maple hardwood and premium Mocha finish is featured in the first kitchen, and designed to create a "WOW" factor when the homebuyer enters the studio.
"Companies sell what they show," says Rosenfield. "Many of the cabinet products and design features seen in Beazer's design studio were chosen to elicit a 'WOW' effect. The colors, styles, and accessories such as staggered height cabinets, base turned legs, split post pilasters and glass door inserts, were all carefully selected to draw the consumer into this space and motivate their creativity. The goal is to help Beazer sell more upgrades, of course, and in turn, maximize its profit potential on the sale of these options."

The air of the film is anything but nostalgic, since its stunning heroine, Shan Shan (Si Qin Gao Wa), has a ruefulness bordering on despondency. Her life in Hong Kong is successful by many standards, and she has the poise, the wardrobe and the bad habits (such as smoking and drinking) to prove it. The visit home forces her to contrast all this with the simple family life enjoyed by two of her childhood friends. When her boat arrives on the mainland (the film is a Hong Kong/People's Republic of China co-production), Shan Shan is met by Tsong (Xie Wei Xiong), whose nervousness in her presence makes their earlier affection apparent. Tsong is married to Ah Zhen (Josephine Koo), with whom Shan Shan has also been close, and together the couple have a child, a modest house and a full complement of barnyard animals. Their life is hard: The incident that finally arouses Ah Zhen's jealousy of her friend comes when Shan Shan quietly buys Tsong a pair of rubber boots to protect him from leeches in the rice paddies. There is more friction when Shan Shan persuades Ah Zhen, who is headmistress of the village school, to bring the children on a trip to the city. City life is frightening to Ah Zhen, and during the course of the trip she lets Shan Shan know it.

In Olympic diving, you're supposed to keep your legs together (no can openers allowed), point your toes and land in the water with the smallest splash possible.
Stephan Feck, a German diver competing in the men's 3-meter springboard competition, accomplished none of the above. As a result, he finished in 29th place out of a field of 29 divers–dead last. The diver who won the gold, Russia's Ilya Zakharov, finished with nearly five times as many points as Feck. In fact, Feck ended up nearly 200 points behind the diver who finished second-last.
And, frankly, he deserved to finish where he did. Check out the video of this horrible dive he performed during the competition. Feck received a score of 0.0 for this, his second dive:
This dive was so bad that Olympics officials actually rushed to the pool to make sure Feck was okay. He was physically fine, but it's difficult to imagine that he got out the pool without some major injuries to his pride.

Watch Dr. Sylvia Gearing discuss some of the statistics of childhood depression and why the problem is getting worse with each generation - click here.
One out of every four children will experience severe anxiety before they graduate high school.
One out of every ten teenagers will experience an episode of major depression by the time they go to college.
In addition, about half of teens diagnosed with depression are also diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, and the average age of onset for an anxiety disorder is now six years old. However even with all of these terrifying statistics, only eighteen percent of anxious or depressed teens ever see a professional psychotherapist.
Psychologists and government officials have been warning for years that childhood depression and anxiety are reaching epidemic levels, and the numbers are not encouraging. However, very few parents are seeking out professional treatment for their children.
Here are some important points to keep in mind about child and adolescent depression:
Lifetime Effects:
Depression can be a lifelong struggle. Severe depression reoccurs in about half of those who have had it once in their lifetime. Once your child experiences a depressive episode, they will battle more frequent and severe depression for the rest of their life.
Rise In Suicide:
In 2012, American teenagers were polled on mental health issues. Sixteen percent of teens reported seriously considering suicide, thirteen percent created a plan to commit suicide, and eight percent had attempted suicide and failed. Suicide is now the third leading cause of death for ages 10 to 24, and it is responsible for thousand of deaths every year.
Generational Snowball:
Researchers have been interviewing previous generations for years to investigate their rates of depression throughout their lives. They asked if they had ever experienced at least two weeks of depression or anxiety symptoms during their lifetime. For those who were born before World War I, only one percent experienced an episode of depression. For those who were born in the mid 1920's and faced the Great Depression and World War II early in their lives, only four percent ever experienced an episode of depression. For those who were born in the 1950's and grew up in the political and social turmoil of the 1960's, seven percent had experienced depression by the time they were 30. Currently, ten percent of children and adolescents experience a major depression before they graduate high school. The rates of depression are growing with each generation, and our young children are experiencing more depression than ever.
Childhood rates of clinical depression and anxiety have grown exponentially over the past century and can have devastating lifelong effects. If you are worried about a child or teen you know, please seek the assistance of a clinical psychologist.

…..'cause I have to set up the show!
I've been having some fun in the studio (you may have guessed that). I made a bunch of bangles, and I'm so happy with them that I'm sure I'll be making an armload more.
Here they area all together:
I also finished a brooch that started with a amethyst cabochon and an ancient idea about the power of amethyst. Amongst other properties, amethyst was purported to protect you from drunkenness. The ancient Greeks make drinking cups out of amethyst! So, one thought led to another, and I decided to design an "absinthe spoon" for the amethyst. Of course, it's not really meant to be used as a spoon, but I designed a version that includes the expected elements – a groove for the lip of the glass, and a spot for the cube of sugar.
Ok, that's it for the previews – I've got lots to do today!

MEMPHIS, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Wesley Witherspoon made 10-of-14 shots from the field and scored 28 points Thursday in pacing No. 22 Memphis to an 88-70 win over Lipscomb.
It was the first game for the Tigers since they suffered an 86-69 whipping at the hands of Georgetown one week ago.
Memphis went on a nine-point run while holding Lipscomb scoreless for 3:30 midway through the first period and eventually took a 42-33 halftime lead.
Charles Holt scored 15 points off the bench for Memphis (10-2) and Joe Jackson had 13.
The Bison (7-4) were led by 22 points from Adnan Hodzic with 22 points. Lipscomb has dropped two straight after winning five in a row.

The UCC3750 Source Ringer Controller provides a complete control and drive solution for a four quadrant flyback-based ring generator circuit. The IC controls a primary side switch, which is modulated when power transfer is taking place from input to output. It also controls two secondary switches which act as synchronous rectifier switches during positive power flow. These switches are pulse-width-modulated when the power is being delivered back to the source.
The UCC3750 has an onboard sine wave reference with programmable frequencies of 20Hz, 25Hz and 50Hz. The reference is derived from a high-frequency (32kHz) crystal connected externally. Two frequency-select pins control an internal divider to give a sinusoidal output at 20Hz, 25Hz or 50Hz. The ring generator can also be used at other frequencies by sup-plying externally generated sine-waves to the chip or by clocking the crystal input at a fixed multiple of the desired frequency.
Other features included in the UCC3750 are programmable DC current limit (with buffer amplifier), a charge-pump circuit for gate drive voltage, internal 3V and 7.5V references, a triangular clock oscillator and a buffer amplifier for adding programmable DC offset to the output voltage. The UCC3750 also provides an uncommitted amplifier (AMP) for other signal processing requirements.

Map For Advance America Cash Advance
Information About Advance America Cash Advance From Around The Web
It's a good idea to look locally for individual financial services, when you have an urgent financial need. Determined by where you're located, simple check cashing can be ranged by services, to short term loan goods like fast payday loans, also referred to as money advances. Contact the firm listed above to see what financial services are offered in your city. Some may additionally offer loan options that are installment, letting you pay your loan back for a set time period, to bigger loans for example personal loans, which afford a broader range of giving bundles when it comes to loan amount and rates of interest, depending in your own credit score.
You must always explore other options before applying for internet payday loans. If there's an emergency or sudden invoice try and stretch your financing. If you can't pay a bill, contact your lender and attempt to make a payment arrangement. In case your requirement for cash takes a loan for a longer duration, apply for an alternative peer-to-peer or conventional loan. When you have collateral, you can put property up to ensure a low-interest bank loan. When you are denied capital from a traditional lending source because your credit credibility is shot or you need temporary cash flow until the next paycheck, easy loans might seem like the best option to get you through a tight financial situation. Taking out an advance in your next pay check from a money lender could be your only alternative should you not need cash or a charge card in a savings account to cover the expense of a car repair or catching up in your electricity bill before services are shut off.
Applying for fast loans online is a good option when sudden crises arise or the amount needed is not worth the ding to your credit score for starting another account. In addition, you prevent the bother of having to gather all your financial records, submit a lengthy application and meet together with the bank's loan officer to sign packages of paperwork. If your credit is great enough, then you may qualify for a higher limit with a current charge card company or a brand new account with a different lender that allows you to combine all of your debt into one payment. As the consolidation is processed between the two companies, which puts money in your pocket fast, you generally get to skip the following payment. When the next payment is due, you are going to probably be paying less overall than you were for the individual minimal payments of the debts that are separate. Many sources of personal credit, including bad credit personal loans, have a high annual percentage rate, particularly when origination fees are contained in the annualized rate. Many personal loans online additionally have terms that are comparatively brief, frequently as little as three months. Rolling over them can prove costly, although it might be possible to refinance these types of loans.

Seeking auto accident compensation? A Denver car accident attorney can help.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a car-truck accident in Colorado, you should schedule a free consultation with a Denver car accident lawyer.

- What if the insurance company refuses to pay?
- What if I was partially at fault?

Fundraising is essential to ensuring the long term financial health of our school. In an effort to keep tuition affordable for families seeking a quality preschool education, we run an annual budget gap that averages $10,000.00. Without contributions from families, alumni, local business, etc., we cannot bridge this gap.
Each family is responsible for providing $350 net in fundraising. A postdated check, dated for the last day of class, in the amount of $350 will be collected at orientation*. Fundraising will be tracked per family according to the net contribution to the school (e.g., 100% for Trike-a-thon, 50% for wreath or plant sales). If a family fulfills or exceeds the $350 commitment over the course of the year's fundraisers, the check will be returned to the family at the end of the school year. If a family does not meet the $350 commitment, NTCP will send an invoice for the remaining amount due upon receipt. When the invoice is paid, the initial check will be returned to the family. *(A family who joins the school after orientation will be responsible for a fundraising commitment that is prorated according to the length of time remaining in the school year, payable with a postdated check upon registration).
Details of fundraising events will be posted on the News page as they happen. Typical fundraising activities are described below.
Trike-a-thon (October): Students get sponsorships from family, friends, and neighbors and then ride their trikes at school in this fun family event.
Wreath Sale (November): Orders for this popular holiday fundraiser are collected in early November for delivery around Thanksgiving. Wreaths and swags are generally available.
Plant Sale (Feb/March): This annual fundraiser has been proven successful for several years. Plant sale order forms are due by late March, and orders are delivered in May before Mother's Day. Copious selections of these top quality plants virtually sell themselves and are a joy throughout summer!
If you would like to participate in or sponsor any of these events please contact our Fundraising Chair.
Many employers offer matching gift programs that make your donation even more impactful. If your employer has a matching program please inquire about the steps necessary to designate the North Tacoma Cooperative Preschool as a recipient.
Your tax deductible gift to the school will help us to do a variety of things, such as improve facilities, purchase school supplies, replace toys and equipment, take field trips, and retain our wonderful teacher with nearly 30 years of classroom experience.
Anyone affiliated with North Tacoma Cooperative Preschool knows it as a wonderful place filled with lots of smiles, exploration and learning, and a great sense of community; please help us to continue this legacy. Thank you for your generosity and support.
NTCP is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization so your donation(s) may be tax-deductible. (Federal tax ID # 91-1902785.) Watch the News page, your cubby, and the NTCP newsletter for more details on upcoming events. Contact the Fundraising Chair if you would like more information on how you can help or if you have any fundraising or donation questions.

In 1967, before there was a Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood were John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. The four musicians were only together for three months, which makes it even more remarkable that a staunch fan from Holland was able to sneak a one channel reel to reel tape recorder into five London clubs and capture this exciting glimpse into music history. For almost fifty years these tapes have remained unheard until John recently got them and began restoring them with the technical assistance of Eric Corne of Forty Below Records. Corne adds ''While the source recording was very rough and the final result is certainly not hi-fidelity, it does succeed in allowing us to hear how spectacular these performances are.''

to lead him to water and back. The dog--as might have been expected--abused the situation, while pretending to be very kind to his charge, never allowed him to roll on the grass, as he would have liked, or drink in peace, and harassed the poor beast in many other ways, getting, however, much credit from the neighbors for devotion and intelligence. Finally, one day after months of waiting, the patient victim's chance came. Getting his tormentor well out into deep water, the donkey quietly sat down on him.
The other tale is true, for I knew the lady who provided in her will that her entire establishment should be kept up for the comfort and during the life of the three fat spaniels that had solaced her declining years. The heirs tried to break the will and failed; the delighted domestics, seeing before them a period of repose, proceeded (headed by the portly housekeeper) to consult a "vet" as to how the life of the precious legatees might be prolonged to the utmost. His advice was to stop all sweets and

Other localities - Canada
This is a comprehensive list of alkaline localities in Canada, mostly, but not only (don´t underestimate me !), taken from the Wooley book (see below), generously given to me for 3 months by Peter G.Seroka - many thanks ! The mineral lists are certainly incomplete, I had to leave out things like opaques, and there is some confusion about the feldspar group minerals, which are not always named exactly (antiperthite).

GETTING THERE: Flights to Milwaukee from Washington take less than two hours and are consistently inexpensive. Northwest and United have nonstop flights starting at $187. From Milwaukee, the "Up North" area around Marinette County and Crivitz is about three hours by car.
WHERE TO STAY: It's all about being near the water in northern Wisconsin, on either the dozens of lakes or along the rivers. The tourism office can point you to a limited number of private cottages (see below), but several very local "resorts" offer both motel-style rooms and stand-alone cottages.
Near Crivitz, Shaffer Park Resort and Supper Club is in a pretty wooded setting next to the Peshtigo River with a heated pool (N7217 Shaffer Rd., 715-854-2186, www.shafferparkresort.com). Kitchenette suites start at $62 a night, and a six-person cottage rents for $135 a day or $795 a week. The restaurant, with huge, comfy lounge and an outdoor deck, is a crowd magnet with Mrs. Shaffer's chicken ($8.95) and fried Canadian walleye ($11.95). Popp's Resort is a bigger facility on the High Falls Reservoir with boat rental and lakeshore cottages (W11581 County Road X, Crivitz, 715-757-3511, www.poppsresort.com). Rooms begin at $65 a night and cottages at $64.
For an entirely different experience, the new Four Seasons Resort in the far north corner of the county is a well-appointed oasis in the north woods (N16800 Shoreline Dr., Pembine, 877-324-5244, www.thefourseasonsclub.com). Built onto a 100-year-old supper club on an island in the Menominee River, it boasts a nine-hole golf course, two lounges, a huge indoor pool (this is Northern Wisconsin, after all) and 55 nicely appointed suites. Rates begin at $129 a night on weekends, $99 during the week.
* There are several small, friendly golf courses in the area. We played at the Four Seasons Resort (above) and DeSmidt's near Crivitz (N7559 Shaffer Rd., 715-854-7939, www.desmidts.com), a pleasant short course with beautiful big trees and a cheery 19th hole (nine holes with a cart cost $29 for two golfers).
* The Nicolet National Forest offers hundreds of miles of trails and lakeside camping. We explored the edge of it on horseback through Mountain Meadows Ranch at $20 per person per hour (13807 Whiffen Lane, Mountain, 715-276-3860).
* Marinette County bills itself as waterfall country, and several scenic ones dot the map. We made the short hike to a great one, the powerful cataract rapids within Dave's Falls Park just outside of Amberg on Route 141. See the tourism contacts below for outfitters.
* The consummate water spectacle here are the various water-ski shows that pop up on weekend nights. We made it to the Twin Bridges ski show (Thursday and Saturday nights at Stephenson Town Park on the High Falls Reservoir, no charge).
