We knew that USA Today's early word of a circulation plunge -- 17%, announced by Gannett two weeks ago -- would probably be a sick canary in a dark coal mine.
Today's semi-annual circulation FAS-FAX numbers for U.S. dailies, though, are still breathtaking. On average, 10.6% down daily and 7.4% Sunday. That's on average, and largely twice as bad as the declines have been over the past four-plus years. Look at some of the individual results, and you understand why the New York Times just announced that it is taking another 100 jobs out of its newsroom and why other newsroom (and, of course, wider) cuts may increase -- not decrease -- as Wall Street indicates that an overall economic recovery will be a 2010 reality.
Daily, these losses, as examples:
- L.A. Times: 11%
- Houston Chronicle: 14%
- Boston Globe: 18%
- Star-Ledger, Newark: 22%
- San Francisco Chronicle: 26%
The Sunday losses, same papers:
- L.A. Times: 6%
- Houston Chronicle: 6%
- Boston Globe: 17%
- Star-Ledger: 18%
- San Francisco Chronicle: 22%
So what's happening?
More of the same, though now with evidence of a tipping point. Inevitably, for the print product, less is less.
Newspaper readers have hung with their local papers through thick and through increasing thin. The value proposition they now see, though, is a lesser one: Smaller product, less news, fewer ads of all kinds, more e-reading choices -- and higher prices.
Yes, most newspaper companies have embarked on a premium print pricing strategy, in some cases doubling single-copy prices and upping home delivery significantly. And, yes, these increases have provided a circ revenue bump just as ad revenue tanked (both McClatchy (6.7%) and Media General (11%) recently reported quarterly circ revenue gains). Yet, they've made the value proposition for print harder to justify. Now, add the recession-induced pocketbook concern to all the greater changes in the news world, and publishers may have shone a spotlight on the print newspaper product.
They have moved it from being a necessity, a habit, to a discretionary buy. (More on the history of the ebbing habit, from Alan Mutter.)
It's been a tough formula, but one that did make a kind of sense. Acknowledge that newspapers are a niche buy (while Google, Yahoo, AOL and MSN have become the mass daily stop), and price accordingly. Take a hit in volume, but make it up in pricing. It looked like that strategy was working for the past couple of years, as circ revenue's been flat to slightly up at most companies.
The risk: Too many readers would opt out. One ABC survey isn't enough to tell us whether we've reached that point definitively, but it's a huge warning sign.
Put yourself in publishers' shoes, planning for 2010. Today's numbers tell them a couple of things, at least:
- If fewer readers won't pay for print, can they get them to pay for new e-reading choices? They'll watch the Wall Street Journal's test of mobile pricing. They'll work with Journalism Online to see which digital value propositions have a prayer of working. They'll think hard about the Kindles, Nooks (good comparison with the Kindle by Gizmodo's Matt Buchanan on NPR), Ques and Readers, and how they can get news readers to pay for delivery through that new platform.
- It's going to be harder to get a thick slice of the ad spending returning to the marketplace, as the economy normalizes. Publishers' mass market proposition, already weakened, is now further in question (more on cycle of decline, from Rick Edmonds). Their pricing, always a sore point among advertisers, is now even harder to justify among the proliferation of pay-for-performance ad choices. (Good piece by NYT's Stephanie Clifford on that.) As they look anew at their ad sales propositions, they'll need to double down on the notion of premium content, premium audience and superior targeting -- and give often skeptical ad buyers reasons to believe.

- Real-time persistent computing for Big Data
- IO Bottleneck Breakthrough with Levyx and Vexata
Featured Audio
Listen in on the Levyx team's talks on Intel's podcast "Conversations in the Cloud" to hear about how Levyx's data store technology is getting applied in real-world use cases.
For over a decade, the innovations in storage hardware and data management software progressed in silos.
Levyx bridges these silos.
Agnostic system software originally designed for optimal use of solid-state storage and multi-core CPU's, Levyx software-defined data processor solutions allow customers to fully realize the business benefits of advances in both storage hardware AND Big Data compute software.
Welcome to the Era of Persistent Dataframes
For the first time, all real-time working datasets are:
- Persisted on Flash
- Accessible by multiple users
- Replicated for high availability
- Subject to real-time updates and transactions
Enabling Analytics on Flash
Applications / Solutions
With Levyx, enterprises that are using Spark for analytics can analyze new data instantly, no more waiting
Apache Spark users can now perform analysis on Big Data working sets as they pass through the i/o stack.
By incorporating our Levyx-Spark Connector™ software, we have integrated our core engine into Apache Spark, making Spark more "Enterprise-Grade" by providing persistence to Spark data sets.
Accelerating Big Data Analytics for the Financial Services Industry
Apply Levyx to boost performance in proprietary trading; in conjunction with Kafka-Storm or Kafka-Spark to boost streaming; or risk-management and cyber-security applications.
Make Sense of Billions of Objects Being Accessed Simultaneously
Using our KV Store to ingest very large streams in a Kafka-Storm (or other analytic engine) pipeline, reducing the number of servers by ten-fold compared to conventional NoSQL methods.
Where we sit in the I/O path
Value Proposition
Levyx's software enables input/output (I/O) intensive legacy and Big Data applications to operate in a way that is faster, simpler and cheaper.
- Faster (by over 10x) than other solutions because of its multi-core, flash-optimized, query pushdown, and patended indexing design.
- Simpler than other architectures, which make trade-offs between performance and storage tiering complexity - all data is persisted by Levyx at memory speeds.
- Cheaper because Levyx subsitutes random access memory (RAM) with less costly Flash storage (typically 10x cheaper per GB), yet achieves equivalent or greater performance using drastically fewer distributed commodity server nodes.
Technology Highlights
- One of the World's First Flash-resident Compute Engines
- High-performance, patent-pending analytics platform sits directly on Flash SSDs
- No longer bound to DRAM for "In-Memory" performance
- One of the World's Fastest Key Values
- Benchmarked against many of the world's fastest KVS technologies
- Typically orders of magnitude faster than the rest
- Distributed Storage Class MemoryTM at Scale
- Patent-pending SW abstraction (virtualization) of storage-class memory (SCM)
- Distributes dataset on large-scale clusters (i.e., not just a single node or device)
- New Indexing technologies
- Built from the ground up and patent-pending
- Go well beyond LSM- and B- tree schemes (textbook methods) not designed for modern hardware
- HW-SW Parallelism
- Exploits full benefit of multi-core processors in distributed systems
- Optimizes bandwidth of shared resources (like storage) pushing limits to physical boundaries
- Just-in-Time-Compilation (JITC)
- Built-into distributed architecture
- Accomplishes query and aggregation offload/acceleration

Rated 3 out of 5 by SjEzra from Not for me I'm 5 foot 6 and 125-130 lbs 34-35 bust 27-28 waist 35-36 hips I ordered a small. The dress fit as it should , and the material is REALLY soft and nice...lots or stretch and very softy for me the dress was just way to figure hugging. It wasn't too small, it just clung to every curve. It was just too sexy for the occasion I needed it for. I can see why it's rated highly tho. But if you need something modest, this isn't it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Decker from Beautiful dress I bought both peach and white in petite length. I will have to shorten still as it's long. Fabric is very stretchy but I'm not too sure if sizing down will be better as it may show more of my belly fat so I'm keeping my LP. The white makes me feel like I'm wearing a wedding dress. Hoping that shortening it and wearing sandals will make it feel more casual. Definitely worth keeping as it's a different style you won't find elsewhere.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Fabgal01 from Great formal dress !!! I am 5'3'' weight 118lbs. Bought a small. Little loose on the top. So if you want tight fit , go one size down. But the look is awesome it gives you an hourglass shape. Unfortunately, I am returning because it's great for formal event. I was looking for a causal dress !!!

conservative brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 16 Designs von 8 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
The purpose of this project is to design a logo for a site that will provide people in the political world the opportunity to connect with each other. It will feature social and professional networking
Grand Central Political
Desired Color Scheme:
red, white, blue, black
Desired Style:
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
The logo has several elements that we want to include, so the overall design will need to include simple lines and shading so that it's not overwhelming. We think we want it to be in an illustrated, cartoonish style, although we are open to other ideas too.
The company name for the logo is GrandCentralPolitical.com
One main theme for the logo is "trains†(like Grand Central Station).
One thought we had was to have a cartoonish drawing of an elephant going head-to-head with a cartoonish drawing of a donkey, with both with their heads down, charging at each other. There should be steam coming out of the donkey's nose and elephant's ears (similar to steam coming out of a locomotive).
As I said, we are open to other conceptualizations as well.

You won't find Turkey mentioned in the Bible but it plays a more important part in Bible Prophecy than perhaps one might expect. Here is a prophecy from the Book of Revelation ch 16 v 12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
The great Ottoman Empire, represented by the River Euphrates, has gradually dried up as prophesied and all that is left of it is Turkey, a mere shadow of its former greatness. God is in no hurry when it comes to bringing about His purposes and the Bible tells us that He controls the rulers of the world according to His Will.
Dan 4 :17 the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
We just need to be patient and we will see all revealed.
Sometimes, though, Prophecy just doesn't seem to be working out as we expect. Here is another one which concerns Turkey, which until recently seemed to be a long way off fulfilment. Ezekiel 38 describes the invasion of Israel in the Last Days before the Lord Jesus Christ returns. The invasion is led by Gog, which Bible Students identify as Russia and one of the nations in the invasion force is named Togarmah. Ezekiel says,
38:3-6 "Behold, I am against thee, O Gog*, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal . . . I will bring thee forth, and all thine army . . . Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer**, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah*** of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee"
Up to this year it was difficult to see Turkey joining Russia to invade Israel. Turkey and Israel had good relations, they even went on joint military exercises. However, students of God's Word have only to be patient when the political situation does not match what prophecy predicts— and just recently we have seen the proof of this in an amazing change in relations between Turkey and Israel.
Turkey's change of allegiance
Daniel 10:13 shows that God's angels work in the nations to bring about His purpose. An example of this can be seen in the move of Turkey away from the West and towards Russia, as Ezekiel 38 leads us to expect.
In the past Turkey and Russia could not be considered friends. At the end of World War I, Turkey ex¬pelled the Armenians and, in accordance with the Bible prophecy of the 'drying up of the Euphrates', was reduced to its present location in Asia Minor.
For more than twenty-two years Turkey has unsuccessfully sought membership of the EU. Seemingly the main, though unstated reason is as one Turkish writer states, that 'Europe is not ready yet to accept a Muslim country in the EU'. In fact, from the religious point of view, Turkey has more in common with countries like Iran, Iraq and Syria in the Middle East.
This failure of Turkey to gain EU entry forced her to look elsewhere for trade. Turkey has been on good terms with Iran since early in 2009 whilst the strong ties between Turkey and Israel have been weakening. The Israel/Palestinian conflict helped to sour relations even further. The final straw was the clash in May 2010 between armed Turkish terror activists and Israeli navy commandos who boarded the Mavi Marmara vessel. It was one of six in a " Peace Flotilla" which ignored Israel's orders to change course and head for Ashdod port to take its supplies to Gaza through an overland route. The Mavi Marmara was later found to be carrying no humanitarian aid supplies whatsoever.
Turkey has insisted that Israel apologize for the nine deaths caused, and stop the Gaza blockade , which was set up to prevent arms smuggling. Israel has expressed regret for the deaths, but will not apologize nor end the blockade, which it pointed out has saved the lives of its citizens.
Presumably as a result of this, Turkey recently expelled Israel's Ambassador, stopped all military trade and stepped up its Navy activity in the eastern Mediterranean
In yet another sign of the deterioration, Turkey's military is installing new technology that will allow warplanes and ships to target Israeli vessels. Previously, Turkish planes, ships and submarines used American technology, which automatically classified Israeli equipment as "friendly". This will no longer occur under the new system which was declared ready just days after Turkey suspended defence trade and termed Israel a "spoiled child."
Thus, Turkey's friendly relations coming to an end will allow them to make friends with the Gogian Confederacy which attacks Israel.
Turkey and Russia
During the time of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey and Russia were rivals. After its fall, Tur¬key joined NATO to protect it from possible Soviet attack. Now, the situation has changed and Turkey and Russia are becoming Trading Partners having close relations with Iraq and Iran—This situation seems to have come about naturally yet we can see the Divine Hand and the angels in operation to bring about His purpose.
Encouragement to look for Jesus' return
Russia, long considered by Bible Students to be Gog, suffered a great setback with the fall of the Soviet Union; but is now again becoming an aggressive power and flexing her muscles. The Military machine, for so long in poor state is being rebuilt and new weapons are being forged, like the new stealth fighter plane, the T-50, and the proposed Russian strategic bomber which is at the design stage.
Vladimir Putin's decision to reclaim the Presidency next year makes it possible for him to rule Russia until 2024, continuing his strongman rule. So, again we see that, if we are patient, The Bible will always be proved right and shortly we will see Gog assembling a great army to sweep down on Israel, swollen no doubt by the current feelings of anti-Semitism. Ezekiel tells us it will include Persia (now Iran), Ethiopia, Libya and Turkey. We believe that this will be very soon and then Christ will return to save Israel and rule the world from Jerusalem.
Bible prophecy never fails, we urge you to read the Bible, turn from your own ways to follow Christ that his return will be to you one of immense joy.
*'Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal'- to identify Gog we need to identify the people and the areas they lived in when Ezekiel gave this prophecy. The ancient names of Rosh, Meshech, Tubal and also Magog can undoubtedly be linked to areas roughly covered by parts of present-day Russia and its environs.
** The Jewish Historian Josephus places Gomer and the 'Gomerites' in central Turkey
*** Togarmah was the grandson of Japheth. His descendants by the time of Ezekiel were in Asia Minor, the area now occupied by Turkey. Togarmah is the name of a city and a region in Asia Minor. Asia Minor comprises the majority of the Republic of Turkey.

This is my go-to snack of the moment. Eons ago, before I even knew that edamame was the same as a soybean, I went out with a good friend who studied abroad with me. She ordered some of this mysterious "edamame" and then proceeded to pluck the beans from their pod and devour them.
"Try one," she said nodding to the basket.
And then I proceeded to eat the entire basket. I'm a horrible friend I tell ya.
I typically buy a bag of frozen edamame at good ol' Trader Joes. Then I become impatient to eat them when I get home, so there is no time to thaw them out. Instead, I have devised my super quick and easy snack.
Do it. You'll thank me later. After all, its only three ingredients.
The Shopping List:
- 1 bag frozen edamame
- dash of sea salt
- about 4 tbsp Chinese Five Spice
The Method:
Turn on a burner to medium heat. Add in just enough water to cover the bottom of the pot. Pour in the edamame and sea salt. Place a lid on the pot, and allow the edamame to steam. Watch carefully, they will burn quickly, usually takes no more then 5 to 8 minutes. Could also use a metal colander to pull the edamame from the bottom of the pan and make a proper steamer.
Remove the edamame from the heat and drain out any remaining water. Sprinkle the Chinese Five spice over top and give it a quick stir. My store bought Chinese Five Spice contains cinnamon, anise, fennel, ginger, clove and licorice root, but you can easily make your own.

Tualatin, OR – May 4, 2015 – VersaLogic Corp., the embedded industry's most trusted computer company, has announced Hawk—an extremely small, rugged, embedded computer. This next generation of the VersaLogic Embedded Processing Unit (EPU) format combines processor, memory, video, and system I/O into an extremely compact full function embedded computer. The computer has a footprint the size of a credit card!
The Hawk was engineered to meet the military, avionic, and medical industries' evolving requirements for smaller, lighter, and more powerful embedded systems. Roughly the size of a credit card and less than one inch thick, the Hawk is a highly-integrated embedded computer. It combines the new 4th generation Intel® Atom™ "Bay Trail" processor, with system interfaces, in a form factor designed to withstand extreme temperature, impact, and vibration.
Hawk is available in single-, dual-, and quad-core models. The quad-core model delivers more than 5X the performance of previous generation products, with an 18% reduction in power consumption. The single-core version provides over 2X the performance of the previous generation product, while providing a 25% reduction in power.
"We are excited to offer next-generation performance in our tiny EPU format. The ability to choose a single-, dual-, or quad-core version allows our customers to exactly match the CPU performance and power to their application needs," said Gary Harris, VersaLogic's Director of Technology. "The single-core is suitable for lower power systems, while the quad-core is ideal for UAV video applications where higher performance and light weight are important."
The Hawk features an Intel Atom E3800 processor optimized for performance and power balance. It provides compatibility with a broad range of x86 application development tools for reduced cost and development time.
Intel's advanced Gen 7 HD graphics engine provides outstanding graphics performance and is capable of supporting two simultaneous 1080p video streams. On-board hardware acceleration is available for encode/decode of H.264, MVC, VP8, VC1/WMV9, and other standards. The graphics engine also supports DirectX 11, Open GL 4.0, full HD video playback, dual display support, and resolution up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60Hz. Hawk supports a single-channel LVDS display output.
Hawk's I/O connectivity includes a Gigabit Ethernet port with network boot capability, four USB 2.0 ports, two serial ports, and Intel High-Definition Audio (HDA). A SATA 3 Gbits/s interface supports high-capacity rotating or solid-state drives. A Mini PCIe socket with mSATA, a microSD socket, and on-board eMMC (on some models) provide flexible solid-state drive (SSD) options. Systems can be enhanced by leveraging the Mini PCIe socket with plug-in Wi-Fi modems, GPS receivers, MIL-STD-1553, Ethernet, Firewire, and other mini cards.
Designed and tested for industrial temperature (-40° to +85°C) operation, the Hawk also meets MIL-STD-202G specs for impact and vibration. Soldered-on RAM and fanless thermal solutions provide additional ruggedization for use in harsh environments.
The Hawk's wide input voltage range (8 to 17 volts) simplifies system power supply requirements. It is fully compatible with typical automotive (nominal 12V) power systems.
The Hawk is covered by VersaLogic's 5-year product warranty and 5+ year availability guarantee. VersaLogic's Life Extension program typically keeps each technology generation available for 10+ years. Customization services to help customers create unique solutions are available for the Hawk, even in low OEM quantities. Customization options include conformal coating, revision locks, custom labeling, customized testing and screening, and more.
The Hawk will be available from stock starting June of 2015. OEM quantity pricing starts at $709 for the single-core model with 2 GB RAM. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.VersaLogic.com/Hawk or www.Digikey.com for more information
VersaLogic Corp. built its reputation on very high reliability products and superior service. A 35-year history of consistency has earned VersaLogic the reputation of being the industry's most trusted embedded computer company. VersaLogic delivers state-of-the-art embedded computers, coupled with expert technical support, for critical markets such as the medical and defense industries.

Submitted by Ashram on
by Katy Bergson
This is the final interview in the series I have been doing connected to my research on bhakti yoga as part of my project on the ashram's yoga teacher training course. It was great to spend time with Swami Gyandharma and if you haven't come across him, i highly highly recommend the courses he runs at Mandala Yoga Ashram a few times a year. These courses are rare gems of simplicity and wisdom.
Definition: I started the conversation asking what Swami Gyandharma's definition of bhakti is:
"Surrender. That is how i would define it. It means trusting. Trusting that everything is exactly the way it is meant to be. Knowing that is always the case, regardless of how difficult the situation or the circumstances are. It has little to do with any formal kind of approach. That is just decoration but it is not essentially the item.
Bhakti is an expression of love. We all know love from our human love affairs, it is the same thing on a bigger scale. The attraction you feel towards the object, and the belief in the perfection of the object and the goodness of the object. Bhakti yoga is the same but on a bigger scale. In one way or another you begin to relate to all of life that way. We are not worshipping something abstract you understand that god is the decider of everything that happens in your life so you accept it."
Religion: We discussed if it is important to have any kind of religious framework to work with bhakti and Swami Gyandharma explained "I grew up completely without it, in an atheist family. I never went to church and i was never talked to about god. But i grew up in an environment that had strong human values and morality. But not in an overdone way. The basics of be good, do good, be polite and friendly. In my early twenties, one Sunday afternoon i started praying to god out of absolutely nothing. It was completely spontaneous and I was very surprised but it felt like the right things to do. It is quite inexplicable even if i think about it today."
He clarifies: "Bhakti yoga is a path where there is a destruction of the little you, but it is done voluntarily. It is an urge to unite with something to become vaster. It comes out of a realization of this restricted life of littleness and the pain that accompanies that littleness. It is a search for a bigger version of yourself. But in bhakti yoga you just give up the little self, and the result is the bigger self."
Being present: Swami Gyandharma describes bhakti as being a very mindful almost taoist practice: "What you're looking for, the object you want to merge with, whatever you call that, is always there right in front of you. It is not some other place or time. It is always right there; even if right there is totally empty, or totally full, or totally silent or totally noisy. So your practice is always right there. Practice is not something very specific for a bhakti yogi. Every time you reject something you are rejecting your loved one. Love and hate are just two of its faces. That is the difficulty with bhakti yoga it is not confined to one thing but it means embracing everything, totally. It is a complete rejection of rejection. Where you accept everything is a gift, from the divine, everything- including your worst moment, including the most painful moments."
Kirtan practice: We talked about personal practices of chanting/ kirtan. He said: "I sing hanuman chalisa every morning but i would not describe myself as a hanuman devotee. It moves people, even when people don't know it and can't sing it, it still moves people. I have chanted it thousands of times and i have seen that. It is about loyalty, surrender, courage, devotion and trust. It's all hanuman, captured in that sound or that chant. You don't need to discriminate too much, anything that makes you feel like sitting down every day and chanting it then you should do that. With any sort of practice, the important thing is doing it."
Ecstatic States: I asked about the dangers of different states that may be created through chanting. Swami Gyandharma responded: "It is a very matter of fact path in some ways. There is the expression of love and the need to experience of union, or to step out of the limitations of littleness. But it also deals with the realities of life. It is not an imaginary thing: it is not about sitting there thinking you love god. Be present, bhakti yoga without awareness will get you nowhere.
It requires great level headedness. But if you express yourself in an ecstatic way for a moment that's not a bad thing but it's not essentially what you're trying to do. You are trying to meet life with both eyes open and acceptance. You are not trying to forget yourself, to drift off on some pleasant cloud into some blissful dimension. It is not somewhere else... but right here. You have to find it here, in the realities of day to day life. You have to find it in everything, in everybody and every situation, otherwise you still remain separate."
Emotions and chanting: A big area of interest for me is the how chanting can affect our emotions: "We live in society and situation that are very restrictive emotionally and we are not allowed to express ourselves emotionally. Through song emotional expression is possible, without causing any offence to anyone. People sing out their sadness or they sing out their happiness. It is an expression of something that needs to be aired or recognised in yourself or being ok with who you are. The social restrictions around us, makes it not ok to be a lot of things; you can't be depressed, you can't be angry, you can't be jealous. When we sing we can be all those things and it is perfectly ok, everyone accepts it"
Trust: Finally I asked Swami Gyandharma to say a few words about trust. "Shraddha has got to do with the external world and your relationship to it. It is the belief that you will find a way through the darkness of your life. That is faith. Knowing that you will find the way through your own darkness. That darkness is always reflected in the world outside and so that is where we meet it. Thats where we learn to let go. We can get depressed and that's a dark time or we can get sad or grief. But it also has to do with the world outside. It's like how we relate to that outside world.
Faith is something that arises when we accept that the outside world is not something different to us. Most people live their lives thinking it is. Faith means you stop complaining about things, stop blaming others, stop reacting. You know you're responsible and you accept that. It's very empowering that way because it puts the solution to all this in your own hands."

Stampin' Up! has just announced a fabulous Buy 3, Get 1 Free Promotion on Designer Series Papers. See more details below.
So I thought I would share a card today created with one of my new favourite designer series papers, Eastern Elegance which is part of the Eastern Elegance Suite shown on page 111 of the catalog.
I stamped the Beautifully Baroque image twice, once in Crushed Curry and again in Coastal Cabana. I cut the Crushed Curry image out with the new Circles Collections Framelits and cut the Coastal Cabana image with scissors to fit on top.
I embellished the stamped image with Crushed Curry Candy Dots from the Regals Collection package. I also added Coastal Cabana 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim and an embossed background made with the Beautifully Baroque embossing folder. Note that I used the embossed cardstock the "wrong" way on this card so that the embossing is facing down to keep the card less busy looking.

First, there were pints of Guinness in Ireland, which the Irish Independent says could generate millions for the company. Then there's this meeting happening at left at Buckingham Palace between the Obamas and the recently wed Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Needless to say, there were fashion fireworks. Kate Middleton's dress cost a mere $340 at the retailer Reiss. Requests for the dress jumped 300 percent after the photo was taken, reports say. Michelle Obama's dress is by a California designer, Barbara Tfank. Media coverage of every outfit FLOTUS wore available here. Share http://adweek.it/2kf3hcV copy Adweek Adweek

text: This is my third movie repaint. When I got Final Battle Jazz last week I only wanted his weapon. Then I realized that this wasn't really final battle Jazz, so I took out a pin and separated his torso from his legs. Then I still wasn't satisfied, so I took my not-so-dremel to him. And of course after that I had to repaint the robot parts and give the whole figure a black wash. On the side this figure was a bit of a study for my Jazz repaint. I'm still looking for some Robot Replica hands for that one... I'll have to fix him a proper spine or something so that when he's in Devastator's hands he looks a little convincing. iDD

Aggressive Reno Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
Nevada is a place known for its lengthy roads and desert scenes. As a result, many motorcycle enthusiasts enjoy riding their motorcycles to work or going for weekend runs with groups of friends. However, because motorcyclists must share the roads with larger vehicles such as cars and big rig trucks, vehicle accidents can result in detrimental injuries, and in the worst cases, death.
Research shows that motorcycle accidents occur due to the negligence of other drivers who participate in the following activities:
- Speeding
- Drunk driving
- Distracted driving
- Reckless driving
- Failing to signal before changing lanes
If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident and believe the other driver should be held responsible for your injuries, contact the Reno motorcycle accident lawyers at Joey Gilbert Law. We can put an aggressive team on your side of the courtroom.
What Kind of Compensation Can You Receive?

Our team can work hard to help you recover financial compensation for the following:
- Physical therapy
- Physical harms
- Medical expenses

Have You Been Injured in a Motorcycle Accident?
At Joey Gilbert Law, our Reno personal injury attorneys fight for the rights and futures of those involved in motorcycle accidents.

I'm interested in a guy. He seem interested. We'll probably not meet agian, since the subject we both had is over.
I think he's interested because
-He turn around in his seat to look at me. (I'm always behind him)
-He sometimes looks for me, if he doesn't know where I sit.
-We locked eyes for about 4 seconds during the last lecture.
We're complete strangers to each other. I found a list of names of people who attended the lectures. I found him on facebook.
The dilemma is, I don't know if I should see the fact that he didn't make a move as he doesn't want to get to know me? Or if I should contact him on facebook? Would it be weird it I send a message him on facebook? I only know his name because of facebook.
Note: we're both scandinavians, and a very small google search will tell you that talking strangers and being sober is a no go in the scandinavian cultures. It's not normal to talk to people you don't know here.
Most Helpful Guy
Find him on facebook and send him a message. Say to him, don't I know you or aren't you the guy that was in my class? Let him say yes or whatever and if he asked how you found him, just tell him he popped up on facebook as people you may know and you recognized him. See where it goes from there.
The people who pop up as people you may know, aren't they friends of my friends? Because him and I have no mutual friends.
- Show AllShow Less
Okay. Thank you so much for your time and your many answers. I really appreciate it. :)
Why you're so welcome and thank you also for Most Helpful Guy!

I will play Extreme levels for hours on end just to say that I finished them, collecting gold medals as much as I can and even perfecting runs. This is the game I obsess over too much. When Red Lynx announced a DLC package was coming to Evolution, I realized it was time to fire it back up. Origin of Pain delivers on its namesake in several fashions, but what you really need to know is that this is one packed DLC package for five bucks.

The Postal Service's 'Give Up' Turns Ten, Gets Reissued w/ New Tracks
It's been a difficult task to try and wrap our collective head around the fact that it's been a full decade since The Postal Service's game-changing, and much to the chagrin of seemingly everyone, only record was released. A lot has changed since February of 2003 (including the fact that Give Up recently went platinum!), but one thing that's remained constant, is how truly remarkable The Postal Service record, Give Up, is. That is certainly not lost on us, which is why Sub Pop is releasing a deluxe, 10th anniversary reissue of Give Up on April 9th. The deluxe version will feature 15 bonus tracks, including two brand new Postal Service songs, "Turn Around" and "A Tattered Line of String" (available here right now!). If there was ever record that deserved getting all deluxed up, it is most certainly this.
If you pre-order the 10th Anniversary Edition of Give Up from SubPop.com, you'll receive a limited-edition Postal Service postcard set. We're also giving people who pre-order the 3xLP vinyl version of the album the multi-colored, limited Loser Edition of Give Up. We're also giving people who pre-order Give Up an instant download to the new song, "A Tattered Line of String". And a note on limited-edition things: you've got to act quick to get yours.
Pre-order Give Up Deluxe 10th Anniversary and claim your postcards and Loser Edition LP.
Speaking of a tattered line of string, that decade-old Postal Service shirt you've been rocking is probably getting a little threadbare by now—not that you still don't look good in it—it may just be time to re-up on your PS gear. We have two brand new Postal Service t-shirt designs to solve that problem. Here and here.
Give Up Deluxe 10th Anniversary Edition facts:
- 2xCD/3xLP + Postal Service t-shirt bundles available

Is an approach to hypnosis that helps to unlock the intentions and desires of your soul. If you find that you are feeling lost in life not really sure of your purpose or direction it can aid in opening you up to your true life goals. It can help remove blocks and release stuck energy which will bring about positive changes in your life. It can identify reoccurring patterns of behaviour or repeating cycles that could be holding you back from living the life you would like to lead. You do not have to follow a doctrine or personal deity. Just the ability to be open to the depths of your own subconscious and higher self. It is about exploring your own inner knowing and wisdom and letting it guide you. This will then help you develop and trust your own intuition and unlock your true soul's purpose.

"I saw Emma for a past life regression session and to sum it up in one word it was amazing. Emma has a gift, she has a way of making you feel comfortable and puts you at ease before the session starts. She asked me what I wanted to achieve from the session and focused on this throughout. The experience has helped me to understand many behaviours in my life today and with the regression I have been able to deal with this and move on. Highly recommend Emma, I'm looking forward to my next session with her already." J.C
"Hypnotherapy with Emma never fails to amaze me. Worries and fears that I've held onto for years disappeared in minutes and every time I have had a session with Emma, I have left feeling peaceful and relaxed. Emma has a professional, caring and reassuring manner. Nothing phases her and I feel totally relaxed in her sessions. I have always been keen to try hypnotherapy but was a bit nervous. After seeing Emma I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. She's a natural and it feels natural." M.L
"I have never been regressed or hypnotised before and was a little worried what would happen, but as soon as I met Emma she put me at ease and explained the process thoroughly. The past life regression was an amazing experience and very uplifting. I learnt a huge amount about my past life and how it is still affecting my current one. I can honestly say once you have unraveled your past lives it is easier to deal with your present one. Emma has a very gentle, caring energy and I could listen to her voice all day long! After the session Emma explained in detail what had happened and the connection to my present life. I would thoroughly recommend Emma to help you understand your past lives. I can't wait for my next session. Well worth it and so enjoyable. Many thanks Emma you are amazing at what you do...." T.P

It's a green home with all the bells and whistles, LEED supportive, with a footprint of just 860 square feet and a small price-tag to match.
The New Leap Adaptive Hummingbird h2 is, as the name suggests, actually the 2.0 version of the original Hummingbird home design, which was four feet smaller. Like the original, this home features passive solar, thermal mass and vertical "Heat Stack" design; R-5 rated windows and patio doors; a super efficient Takagi tankless on-demand water-heater; low-flow plumbing fixtures; energy efficient lighting, courtesy of LEDsand CFLs; an Energy Star rated heat-pump HVAC system; and reclaimed stone surfacing.
With two bedrooms, two baths, a "Chill Deck," and an optional outside fireplace, the h2 is billed as an ideal tropical getaway or mountain retreat–or, if you happen to be interested in downsizing your life and its associated debt, an ideal primary residence as well.
Preliminary pricing puts Construction Documents for the h2 at $1895.00, the D.I.Y. Building Kit at $85,995.00, and Complete Construction starting at $119,995.00. Final pricing will be determined at the start of May.

Undead seems to be all the rage, since WW doesn't lack in the damage department and having another out for cc is pretty awesome considering the high amount of uptime they already have. I'm ally, so I don't have a ton to say from experience on my monk, but I will say that even without wotf, I feel difficult to peel and would love having one more way of staying on target.

I've played both Orc and UD and it's really a toss up I just recently back to UD myself but either way sometimes you are going to find yourself wishing you were the other one depending on what you queue into.

Stay away from processed meats. It is that simple. Processed meats, such as bacon or sausage, have direct links to cancer and in particular to pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate of all cancers. It is not an easy cancer to cure and needs to be caught very early. It spreads rapidly and is often not detected in the early stages. Over 90% of pancreatic cancer patients die within five years of diagnosis. Over 70% die within the first year of diagnosis.
The statistics are not good.
What are the symptoms of pancreatic cancer?
- Sudden weight loss
- Abdominal pain
- Change in stool
- Blood clots
- Back pain
- Loss of appetite
- Yellow skin
- Yellow eyes
Pancreatic cancer can also be genetic and family history may play a role in the disease. Smoking, diabetes, obesity and age all have links too.
Eating two pieces of processed meats can cause this cancer
Stay away from processed foods, in particular processed meats. Data has been taken from clinical trials involving over 6500 patients with cancer of the pancreas. Case reports show overwhelming evidence linking the cancer to processed meats.
In fact, studies show that for every 50 grams of processed meat a day (two slices of a sandwich ham or two slices of bacon) the risk of pancreatic cancer goes up by 19%.
And if you eat 150 grams (six strips of bacon) the risk increases to over 55%.
What can you do?
The World Cancer Research Fund has advised people to avoid processed meats. These include sausages, bacon, ham, hot dogs and any smoked meat. They all contain nitrates which have been linked closely to cancer.
Avoid smoking too, eat organic, eat raw and fresh and follow a diet high in nutrients and minerals.

Staged Quotes (displaying: 1 - 10 of 1426 quotes )
Stages. As every flower fades and as all youth. Departs, so life at every stage, So every virtue, so our grasp of truth, Blooms in its day and may not last forever. Since life may summon us at every age. Be ready, heart, for parting, new endeavor, Be ready bravely and without remorse. To find new light that old ties cannot give. In all beginnings dwells a magic force. For guarding us and helping us to live. Serenely let us move to distant places. And let no sentiments of home detain us. The Cosmic Spirit seeks not to restrain us. But lifts us stage by stage to wider spaces. If we accept a home of our own making, Familiar habit makes for indolence. We must prepare for parting and leave-taking. Or else remain the slaves of permanence. Even the hour of our death may send. Us speeding on to fresh and newer spaces, And life may summon us to newer races. So be it, heart: bid farewell without end.
...this protracted war will pass through three stages. The first stage covers the period of the enemy's strategic offensive and our strategic defensive. The second stage will be the period of the enemy's strategic consolidation and our preparation for the counter-offensive. The third stage will be the period of our strategic counter-offensive and the enemy's strategic retreat.

Short Sale Agents in Gainesville Encourage Homeowners To Take Action
Short Sale Agents in Gainesville Encourage Homeowners To Take Action – Are you a homeowner who has or had a financed or refinanced mortgage with OneWest, GMAC, JPMorgan, Washington Mutual, Chase, IndyMac, Citi, Wachovia, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Litton, Saxon, or Ocwen? Or are you a homeowner who had transferred to another servicing agent within 2001-2009? If you are, then you may be qualified to apply for a settlement with the above-mentioned lenders.
Short Sale Agents in Gainesville believe that these lenders have intentionally falsified property value with inflated appraisals, shredded documents, and financed no income- no job- no assets loans, and allotted billions of dollars for settlements; although they do not acknowledge to be accountable. In the years 2001-2009, the creditors/lenders have generated billions in profit from homeowners and they have already foreseen this day. Short sale agents in Gainesville have discovered that many homeowners will be eligible for a settlement.
A lot of homeowners are experiencing foreclosure or have been dispossessed with large equity. To know your options and establish settlement intentions, Short Sale Agents in Gainesville encourage you to seek the guidance of an attorney specializing in mass joinders. Please check the following links:

Some of the nation's most powerful environmental lobbies launched an attack last June against a politician. They felt he had undermined their efforts to toughen clean-air standards and win strong US commitment to reduce the heat-trapping carbon emissions linked to the global climate-change threat.
The target wasn't Newt Gingrich or Trent Lott. It was Vice President Al Gore, perhaps the environmental movement's strongest ally in Washington.
"What we need and what we expect is leadership," said Deb Callahan, president of the League of Conservation Voters (LVC), who wanted Gore to publicly pressure President Clinton to adopt the standards LVC sought. "Not to speak out and not to influence the president is not leadership."
Days later, the Clinton administration acceded to Ms. Callahan's call and backed the clean-air mandates. Mr. Gore received much of the credit.
That pattern seemed to repeat itself a few weeks later, when environmental leaders won support from Clinton and Gore for a commitment to binding reductions in carbon emissions to be presented at the global climate-treaty negotiations in Kyoto, Japan.
When the administration's plan was released, however, environmentalists were dismayed. The rhetoric of Al Gore the candidate about the need to respond to global climate change had, it seemed, been replaced with a political response not unlike President Bush's, whom Gore criticized in his 1992 book "Earth in the Balance."
But when push came to shove during final negotiations at Kyoto, it was Gore who took the credit for strengthening a global climate-change program that now requires the US to reduce emissions of heat-trapping gases by 7 percent below 1990 levels by 2012.
Gore could do more. His mistake has been to let the Beltway environmental groups set the agenda, then play the compromise game and split the difference with the business community. Under that tired formula, the old business-versus-planet paradigm is self-fulfilling.
If Gore wants to win the election in 2000 and change history, he needs to assert leadership on behalf of a new set of principles.
* Think globally. People and companies make the wisest decisions when they're responsible for all the costs and benefits of their actions. When some costs and benefits are held privately, and other major ones absorbed by the community, people make decisions that shift costs to the community.
* Act locally. When decisions are made, individually or collectively, the best place to make them is closest to where the problem occurs.
* Polluter pays. If pollution is free to the generator, the generator will pollute more. When businesses must pollute to survive, the only businesses that will survive will be the polluters. Pollution can only be reduced if the generator benefits from the reduction.
How might these principles translate into policies? Under today's system, pollution is expensive to everyone but the generator. A ton of nitric oxide, a key ingredient in urban smog, has opportunity costs of $14,000 to $26,000, according to the California Energy Commission. Yet, under federal clean air and water laws, pollution is free up to politically tolerable limits, and then it's a crime punishable by massive fines. Companies have no incentive to cut pollution toward zero and every incentive to battle fines in the courts.
In the related field of solid waste management, thousands of communities have switched to an alternative approach: "Pay as You Throw" programs that charge households and businesses for every unit of waste they generate, cutting waste by as much as half.
Gore could champion the same approach for nitric oxide; sulfur dioxide, the main culprit in acid rain; and even carbon dioxide. By charging small fees for every ton of pollution emitted, generators will be rewarded for every unit they can design away.
Gore also could help fine-tune the administration's ideas on trading air pollution emissions. Experts are divided over the costs of cutting carbon emissions to stabilize the earth's ability to maintain temperature ranges. Some, like Robert Repetto of the World Resources Institute, say opportunities for efficiency are so vast that reductions can pay for themselves. Others, like Paul Portney of Resources for the Future, worry cuts could take a few percentage point bites out of GDP. Computer models support Mr. Portney's position, suggesting a cost of $30-$40 per ton of carbon, or a dime per gallon of gasoline, and 1/2-cent per kilowatt of electricity.
Yet the marketplace suggest a lower price tag. Carbon offsets now often cost less than a dollar a ton. Gore could resolve the debate by advocating a get-your-feet-wet carbon trading initiative. Phase One would cap emissions at present levels and require net-reduction offsets from any new sources. Phase Two could target more aggressive binding reductions, with built-in flexibility when short-term costs are too high, to give technology a chance to catch up.
Advocating a new environmentalism doesn't require that Gore oppose the old agenda, only that he give substance to what until now has been rhetoric: that the environment and economy need not be at odds, and that the imperatives of each can be met at once.
By advocating integrated policy packages that promote dynamic, sustainable growth, Gore not only can win over the technology, environmental, and social interest groups that can help him win the White House, but far surpass the incremental, one-dimensional gains environmentalists are likely to be left with. Environmental groups could revitalize their ranks, too, thinking globally and acting locally to reinvent environmentalism.
* Bill Shireman is president of Global Futures, a Sacramento, Calif.-based think tank dedicated to advocating sustainable business practices.

Sugar Is Going to Give You Cancer and a Heart Attack
As you know, everything you eat is bad for you, unless you are eating leafy green vegetables. But, we learn this weekend from The New York Times Magazine's Gary Taubes, sugar is extra-bad for you. Like, cigarettes-level bad for you.
Not just high-fructose corn syrup, either: All refined sugar, many doctors are beginning to think, is equally bad. "Toxic," even. It's not a universally-accepted argument, but the idea (as put forward by Dr. Robert Lustig in the video above) is that sugar is uniquely bad for the body, increasing levels of liver fat more quickly than any other substance and causing a condition called "insulin resistance" that Tabues calls "the fundamental problem in obesity." Moreover, insulin resistance is linked to cancer, insofar as the result of the condition—increased production of insulin—"actually promotes tumor growth."
So! Sugar is (maybe) going to give you diabetes, and cancer, and then a heart attack. And the thing is, Americans consume more sugar, both in refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup, than they ever have before—upwards of 90 pounds per person per year. (Gross.) And probably we will never stop, because sugar tastes great and makes certain people very rich. But if you think you can stop drinking all those Fantas, maybe you should. Just in case!

Living in Rome one can pretty much anticipate being flirted with by Roman men, who are renowned for their expertise in the art of romance.
That said, I was not surprised when one morning while waiting for the bus I caught the steady gaze of an Italian man. There was little conversation between us as I told him "non parlo Italiano molto bene" (which roughly translates: I don't speak much Italian). He was then surprised when I made mention of my Italian husband. But a true gentleman he was when he helped me onto the already overcrowded bus.
Not wanting to let go of my hand, he let me know that he was soon going make his departure from the bus and we said our goodbyes ... he implied for a kiss ... and than he was gone.
So it's still here, the "romancing Rome" I wonder if that gentleman's day was a little brighter as a result of his flirtation? Maybe that is why in his 70 plus years of life he still continues the romancing.

It's real money. If the price of silver goes up you will have quite a nest egg. There are plenty of people who left uncertain places with small gold coins sewn into their clothes. It gave them a chance to get on their feet when they got to a safer place.
There was an old story that went around the history department at University. It seems that the Jewish folks who managed to buy their way to safety during World War II spent on average three ounces of gold to do so, mostly in the form of small pieces of jewelry that were easily concealed. Unfortunately this tells us nothing about the many thousands of others who tried to buy their way to freedom and were simply murdered for their gold possessions, it really boiled down to who they were dealing with. Some guards and other authorities preferred to accept the small bits of gold and tell themselves they had a clean conscious when it came to killing, others wanted it all and had no compunctions about murdering to get what they wanted.
Strolling through the old threads this evening Tanada?
Nah, gold bugs on the radio love to bring up the Holocaust example. I am just pointing out it has significant confirmation bias, the people who succeeded told others how they survived. Those who were murdered left no record of how they went about their approach so it may often have been exactly the same type of attempt but up against a different type of target for the bribe.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A Boston-area whiz kid starts a tech company and then moves West to seek fame and fortune. No, I'm not talking about Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook's monumental IPO. I'm talking about Thomas Massie, an MIT grad who founded SensAble Technologies in the 1990s. SensAble was recently acquired, but Massie has gone on to become a Tea Party political hero in his home state of Kentucky. He's now running for Congress and is the favorite to win the Republican nomination in next week's primary. Massie credits former White House Chief of Staff John Sununu, a fellow MIT grad, for inspiring him to get into politics as an engineer.

Truck hits school bus in Rourkela
Read more below
- Published 25.02.14
Rourkela, Feb. 24: Fifteen students sustained minor injuries when a dumper truck hit their school bus near the civil township here today.
Forty students were in the bus when the incident occurred. The driver of the dumper truck abandoned his vehicle and fled the spot.
The accident occurred between Hockey Square and Hanuman Vatika when the bus, carrying students of St Arnold School, was going from Jharatarang to drop them back from the school. The truck came from the opposite side towards Sitalpada dumping yard.
Eyewitnesses said that both the vehicles were moving on opposite directions and all of a sudden the truck crossed the median and hit the school bus. After hitting the school bus, it overturned on the road.
"We heard a thud after which we found the students crying. We rushed to the spot and rescued the kids from the bus immediately," said Mahesh Vijir, an eyewitness.
Local residents and traders took the injured children to a nearly hospital. At least 15 students were found having minor injuries. The parents of the students were immediately called up and the wards were handed over to them. "I was getting ready to go to my work place when I got a call and came to know about the accident. I rushed to the spot. Luckily, my son was safe," said Sarban Sing, a student's father.
The accident sparked tension in the area and people staged a road block. Police had to intervene to lift the blockade as it caused traffic chaos. The police took both the vehicles to Raghunath Pally police station.
Though the reason behind the truck crossing the divider could not be ascertained, the police suspected it could be because of a brake failure.
"We are searching for the truck driver. Luckily, there was no damage to the bus as it was moving slowly and the truck had hit the bus near the driver's side," said deputy superintendent of police R.K. Mishra.
