Carter CruiseRequest Her Follow
Model Information
Measurements: 34C-27-35
Southern belle Carter Cruise was a sorority girl with a secret. Although this blonde-haired, blue-eyed former debutante seemed like a typical good girl who studied hard and was too modest to wear a bikini to the pool, Carter was secretly obsessed with sex! She confesses that she used to spend hours researching kinks and fetishes and seeking out erotica online. There was no shortage of virile frat guys who wanted to hook up with her, but none of the men Carter slept with were able to fulfill her desires. No wonder that when this good girl broke bad, there was only one thing to do to cure her major sexual frustration: porn! It was exactly what this babe needed. Not only has Carter been able to explore all her deepest desires via the industry, she's such a natural performer that she's already won three AVN awards and four XBIZ awards, including both Best New Starlet titles in 2015. Intelligent and articulate, Carter is passionate about using her newfound success in the porn industry to expand sexual freedom for all women everywhere: "I love sex. I love masturbating. I want every girl to love sex as much as I do."

Thank you, thank you!
A huge thank you to the students and staff of Brush High School, who donated over $205, most of it in change, to provide Christmas gifts for some needy little children in Brush. It took almost five minutes for Bank of Colorado to run all those coins through the change counter.
Thank you, too, to the National Honor Society students, who roamed the halls for a week and fleeced you of your spare change. Because of your generosity, we will be able to create a lovely Christmas for at least two to three families, instead of just the one family we'd hoped for.
A blessed holiday season to you all.
Mary George,
Brush High School
Letter to the Editor-Mary George
Thank you, thank you!

Tick Paralysis
Coming into the wet season ticks become a problem in northern NSW and QLD. There are a number of types of ticks, some of which are a nuisance such as the bush tick, right through to Paralysis Tick which causes many fatalities each year. Whilst more common in dogs than cats (probably due to grooming habits), cats can still be affected. Prevention is the key or if your pet is unfortunate enough to be affected, very prompt Veterinary attention is required.
Signs of Tick Paralysis include
- Weak or collapsing in the hindquarters
- Not able to or reluctant to stand
- Coughing, retching, vomiting
- A change in breathing pattern
What to do if you find a tick?
- Remove the tick/s.
- If showing any of the above signs, contact the vet clinic and transport to the Vet ASAP.
- Bring the tick in a jar for identification.
- If your pet is not showing any of the above signs, keep all activity and excitement to a minimum for 3 days and monitor closely for any symptoms developing.
- Be cautious – even if the dog or cat is showing no signs it can still develop tick paralysis.

In San Diego's tight world of political influence, lobbyists and consultants never die — and they don't fade away that easily, either.
Case in point: Tom Shepard, who began his professional life as Roger Hedgecock's bright young political guru, only to cop a plea during the J. David Dominelli money-laundering scandal that toppled Hedgecock from his mayorship in 1985.
At first, Shepard maintained that the $350,000 his political-consulting outfit received from Dominelli during the Hedgecock campaign was merely an "investment" in the firm by Dominelli's sidekick and lover, Nancy Hoover.
But he eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor money-laundering charge and was fined $1000 and ordered to do 200 hours of community service as part of three years' probation.
"I was aware that it was illegal for me, Nancy Hoover, or Jerry Dominelli to contribute the amount of money to Roger Hedgecock's campaign for mayor that was being supplied to Tom Shepard and Associates," Shepard said in a statement submitted to the court in April 1986.
Before that unpleasantness, however, Shepard found time to help out on Hedgecock's high-dollar campaign — bankrolled by hotel mogul Doug Manchester — for a new downtown convention center.
After a brief period in the political wilderness, Shepard resurfaced, having a role in everything from a controversial trash-to-energy plant that was never built to an effort by Los Angeles–based Southern California Edison to grab control of SDG&E.
He was the campaign mastermind behind Susan Golding, the Republican who married Jerry Brown Democrat Dick Silberman, only to divorce him after Silberman's conviction following an FBI drug money-laundering sting.
Shepard also ran the campaign of Valerie Stallings, a councilwoman later forced to cop her own plea and quit the council in the John Moores Padres influence-peddling scandal.
Last year, Shepard was a key player in the failed mayoral bid of Republican-turned-independent Nathan Fletcher, and, after that didn't work out, ran Democrat Bob Filner's general election campaign against Carl DeMaio.
In the wake of Filner's victory, the consultant staged a January fundraiser for the new mayor at the downtown offices of his lobbying firm, Public Policy Strategies.
Shepard's lobbying outfit counts among its clients San Diego Gas & Electric as well as Turner Construction, which according to a recent disclosure hired Shepard's firm to clear up any remaining obstacles at city hall to the construction of Qualcomm founder and billionaire Irwin Jacobs's controversial Balboa Park parking and traffic makeover.
Following Filner's fall from grace this past summer, Shepard's Public Policy staffers, including Phil Rath and Rachel Laing (former media handler for GOP mayor Jerry Sanders, another Shepard client), bailed out, and the venerable local consultant hasn't been seen or heard from much since.
But now, according to a campaign finance disclosure filed yesterday, Shepard is back with a vengeance, working for an independent expenditure committee backing one of his former clients called "Restoring Trust in San Diego - A Committee to Support Nathan Fletcher for Mayor 2013."
On October 18, Tom Shepard & Associates, the document shows, picked up $10,000 from the committee as payment for "consulting for mailer."

Consultants always go where the money is. These days, Shepard is too smart to do prison time himself (again) for missteps in a mayoral campaign. But maybe he has a soft spot for miscreants and their relatives. Or maybe it's just all about the money. Or maybe Shepard is bad luck.
Shepard's client list is interesting for its random malfeasance quotient.
Shepard client Mayor Susan Golding's husband went to jail for drug laundering. Shepard client City Councilwoman Valerie Stallings, a former lab technician, resigned and did community service time for voting for her benefactor John Moore's baseball park and now, mirabile dictu, she resides in the high-end Meridian condo tower downtown. Shepard client Mayor Bob Filner will soon be under house arrest. Newest Shepard client "Democrat" Nathan Fletcher used to work for GOP Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham right up until the Dukester went to jail for selling his votes for bribes.
This all can be most amusing and appalling at the same time. "Rogah" has consistently claimed that he knew nothing about the funds that Nancy Hoover pumped into his campaign. He just says that Shepard offered him the best deal for running the campaign, and that he did the rational thing, which was to say yes. If Hoover had been using her own money, rather than funds stolen from investors in the Dominelli Ponzi scheme, it might have never been detected and prosecuted.
But how Shepard can go back and forth across the political spectrum time after time and still retain some credibility, I cannot imagine. He's done business with some of the worst examples of what is wrong with local politics, yet the crap rolls off him as if he's covered in a hundred coats of Teflon, and he stays in business. He sells his soul to anyone or anything that will pay the fees.
Do notice that this bit of work pays him $10K, which is not much more than pocket change in this era. If Shepard were really pulling them in, they would shell out well into the six figures to hire him. That $10K is really pitiful for a hot shot consultant.

The Au Co is the first and only luxury cruise
operator specialising in offering a three-day two-night voyage through
world-renowned Halong Bay, Cat Ba Island and the Gulf of Tonkin. The Au Co ship
features the very latest safety standards and represents Vietnamese and
Oriental culture at its best. Each of her 32 spaciously-designed private cabins
boasts luxurious bathrooms and panoramic balconies
Co 3Days/2Nights
1: Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay
The first day of your cruise is an introduction to the amazing scenery of
Halong Bay and its southern sister; Lan Ha Bay. Cruising through Halong Bay
will literally take your breath away, as we pass famous spots like Thien Cung
and Me Cung caves, plus Soi Sim and Titov islands. Also located in the Gulf of
Tonkin, to the south of Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay and the Ho Ba Ham islets offer
tranquility and nature at its best, and a guided kayaking tour or a refreshing
swim in the Bay's emerald waters are two of the best ways to enjoy them.
Day 2: Cat Ba Island and Bai Tu Long Bay
Cat Ba Island is famous for its national park, with more than half the island
designated. This island, far and away the largest in the Gulf of Tonkin, is
covered by a dense rainforest home to numerous indigenous species of flora and
fauna. The secluded village of Viet Hai, situated in the middle of this
pristine environment, is easily accessible thanks to a short walk or cycling
trip and is where we are developing an organic farm which you can visit.
Bai Tu Long Bay, located a little further east of Halong Bay, is the most
remote area of your voyage. The exceptional scale and variety of the geological
rock formations in this area are sure to make this a future destination for
cruising in the Gulf of Tonkin. A relaxing rowing boat tour through the
floating village of Cong Dam and its geological area will definitely be a
delightful moment for you to remember.
Day 3: Halong Bay
Halong Bay, designated a UNESCO world heritage site for its limestone rock
formations, is home to about 2,000 isles and islets of different shapes and
sizes, creating a truly breathtaking seascape. At its heart is the highest
concentration of limestone rocks in the area and caves and grottoes abound. One
of the most beautiful is the Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave. Exceptional because of
its size and the shapes which have been created by millions of years of
erosion, the Surprise Cave is not to be missed.

DataNucleus can be configured to log significant amounts of information regarding its process. This information can be very useful in tracking the persistence process, and particularly if you have problems. DataNucleus will log as follows :-
DataNucleus logs messages to various categories (in Log4J and java.util.logging these correspond to a "Logger"), allowing you to filter the logged messages by these categories - so if you are only interested in a particular category you can effectively turn the others off. DataNucleus's log is written by default in English. If your JDK is running in a Spanish locale then your log will be written in Spanish. If you have time to translate our log messages into other languages, please contact one of the developers via the Online Forum.
DataNucleus uses a series of categories, and logs all messages to these categories. Currently DataNucleus uses the following
Log4J allows logging messages at various severity levels. The levels used by Log4J, and by DataNucleus's use of Log4J are DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL. Each message is logged at a particular level to a category (as described above). The other setting is OFF which turns off a logging category. This is very useful in a production situation where maximum performance is required.
To enable the DataNucleus log, you need to provide a Log4J configuration file when starting up your application. This may be done for you if you are running within a JavaEE application server (check your manual for details). If you are starting your application yourself, you would set a JVM parameter as
The Log4J configuration file is very simple in nature, and you typically define where the log goes to (e.g to a file), and which logging level messages you want to see. Here's an example
# Define the destination and format of our logging log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender log4j.appender.A1.File=datanucleus.log log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{HH:mm:ss,SSS} (%t) %-5p [%c] - %m%n # DataNucleus Categories log4j.category.DataNucleus.JDO=INFO, A1 log4j.category.DataNucleus.Cache=INFO, A1 log4j.category.DataNucleus.MetaData=INFO, A1 log4j.category.DataNucleus.General=INFO, A1 log4j.category.DataNucleus.Transaction=INFO, A1 log4j.category.DataNucleus.Datastore=DEBUG, A1 log4j.category.DataNucleus.ValueGeneration=DEBUG, A1 log4j.category.DataNucleus.Enhancer=INFO, A1 log4j.category.DataNucleus.SchemaTool=INFO, A1
In this example, I am directing my log to a file (datanucleus.log). I have defined a particular "pattern" for the messages that appear in the log (to contain the date, level, category, and the message itself). In addition I have assigned a level "threshold" for each of the DataNucleus categories. So in this case I want to see all messages down to DEBUG level for the DataNucleus RDBMS persister.
Performance Tip : Turning OFF the logging, or at least down to ERROR level provides a significant improvement in performance. With Log4J you do this via
java.util.logging allows logging messages at various severity levels. The levels used by java.util.logging, and by DataNucleus's internally are fine, info, warn, severe. Each message is logged at a particular level to a category (as described above).
By default, the java.util.logging configuration is taken from a properties file <JRE_DIRECTORY>/lib/logging.properties". Modify this file and configure the categories to be logged, or use the java.util.logging.config.file system property to specify a properties file (in java.util.Properties format) where the logging configuration will be read from. Here is an example:
handlers=java.util.logging.FileHandler, java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler DataNucleus.General.level=fine DataNucleus.JDO.level=fine # --- ConsoleHandler --- # Override of global logging level java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=SEVERE java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter # --- FileHandler --- # Override of global logging level java.util.logging.FileHandler.level=SEVERE # Naming style for the output file: java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern=datanucleus.log # Limiting size of output file in bytes: java.util.logging.FileHandler.limit=50000 # Number of output files to cycle through, by appending an # integer to the base file name: java.util.logging.FileHandler.count=1 # Style of output (Simple or XML): java.util.logging.FileHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
Please read the javadocs for java.util.logging for additional details on its configuration.
Here is a sample of the type of information you may see in the DataNucleus log when using Log4J.
21:26:09,000 (main) INFO DataNucleus.Datastore.Schema - Adapter initialised : MySQLAdapter, MySQL version 4.0.11 21:26:09,365 (main) INFO DataNucleus.Datastore.Schema - Creating table null.DELETE_ME1080077169045 21:26:09,370 (main) DEBUG DataNucleus.Datastore.Schema - CREATE TABLE DELETE_ME1080077169045 ( UNUSED INTEGER NOT NULL ) TYPE=INNODB 21:26:09,375 (main) DEBUG DataNucleus.Datastore.Schema - Execution Time = 3 ms 21:26:09,388 (main) WARN DataNucleus.Datastore.Schema - Schema Name could not be determined for this datastore 21:26:09,388 (main) INFO DataNucleus.Datastore.Schema - Dropping table null.DELETE_ME1080077169045 21:26:09,388 (main) DEBUG DataNucleus.Datastore.Schema - DROP TABLE DELETE_ME1080077169045 21:26:09,392 (main) DEBUG DataNucleus.Datastore.Schema - Execution Time = 3 ms 21:26:09,392 (main) INFO DataNucleus.Datastore.Schema - Initialising Schema "" using "SchemaTable" auto-start 21:26:09,401 (main) DEBUG DataNucleus.Datastore.Schema - Retrieving type for table DataNucleus_TABLES 21:26:09,406 (main) INFO DataNucleus.Datastore.Schema - Creating table null.DataNucleus_TABLES 21:26:09,406 (main) DEBUG DataNucleus.Datastore.Schema - CREATE TABLE DataNucleus_TABLES ( CLASS_NAME VARCHAR (128) NOT NULL UNIQUE , `TABLE_NAME` VARCHAR (127) NOT NULL UNIQUE ) TYPE=INNODB 21:26:09,416 (main) DEBUG DataNucleus.Datastore.Schema - Execution Time = 10 ms 21:26:09,417 (main) DEBUG DataNucleus.Datastore - Retrieving type for table DataNucleus_TABLES 21:26:09,418 (main) DEBUG DataNucleus.Datastore - Validating table : null.DataNucleus_TABLES 21:26:09,425 (main) DEBUG DataNucleus.Datastore - Execution Time = 7 ms
So you see the time of the log message, the level of the message (DEBUG, INFO, etc), the category (DataNucleus.Datastore, etc), and the message itself. So, for example, if I had set the DataNucleus.Datastore.Schema to DEBUG and all other categories to INFO I would see *all* DDL statements sent to the database and very little else.
This guide was provided by Marco Lopes, when using DataNucleus v2.2. All the bundles which use log4j should have org.apache.log4j in their Import-Package attribute! (use: org.apache.log4j;resolution:=optional if you don't want to be stuck with log4j whenever you use an edited bundle in your project!).
Method 1
Method 2
Each method has it's own advantages. Use method 1 if you need to EDIT the log4j properties file ON-THE-RUN. The disadvantage: it can only "target" one project at a time (but very easy to edit the MANIFEST and select a new Host Plugin!). Use method 2 if you want to have log4j support in every project with only one file. The disadvantage: it's not very practical to edit the log4j PROPERTIES file (not because of the bundle EDIT, but because you have to restart eclipse in order for the new bundle to be recognized).

It has been a phenomenal summer harvest here in Estelí, Nicaragua. Everywhere you look; there are fields filled with onions, sweet peppers, tomatoes, and cabbage, thanks to just the right amount of rainfall and sunshine, and access to financing through micro-credit. With loans from Kiva, borrowers bought plants, fertilizer, pesticide, gasoline for irrigation pumps, and also paid the salaries of workers, and rent for the land and use of a tractor.
So why then, are all the farmers struggling to make their loan payments? Why is a Kiva borrower delinquent 40 days in paying back his loan?
We have to go back to the last three years, before 2010. Harvests were not good. There was too much rain during the summer (Oct – April) which brought pests and rot. The farmers lost part of their crops, and couldn't meet the demand in the market. Consequentially, prices for their produce shot up, and then did very well.
Then in 2010, the farmers, expecting the same conditions, all sowed their crops in October. However, this year, conditions were perfect. Come March, harvests exceeded expectations, and all the produce came to market at the same time, driving down the price. So instead of $6 for a box of tomatoes, the farmers were receiving $1.50. Now many farmers are forced to rely on an intermediary to broker a deal for their crop. The intermediary takes only three cents on the dollar for selling their harvest, but he is selling it at a cut-rate price, leaving the farmers with little to no earnings.
With no help from the government, the farmers are on their own to solve this dilemma. Many are letting their crops rot in the field, because it costs more to pick, bag, and ship the produce to market, than what they can expect to receive from a buyer. As a Kiva Fellow, seeing the poverty and hunger here in Nicaragua first-hand, and knowing that this is the second poorest country in Central America after Haiti, letting food go to waste is an outrage.
To understand how bad the situation is, Nicaraguans normally consume 60,000 lbs of tomatoes, and this year the farmers produced double that amount. And it is not only tomatoes that exceeded expectations, but onions, cabbage, and sweet peppers too. Onion farmers have told me their earnings this year are 80% less than in previous years.
Only a few lucky farmers were able to export their produce to neighboring El Salvador and Costa Rica, where the governments restrict imports to protect their own farmers.
Meanwhile, I have heard one heartbreaking story after another as farmers sit on produce they can't sell, and are forced to sell off their assets, including livestock, to cover their debts, or face going into delinquency. To help the farmers, Kiva Field Partner MiCredito has begun to restructure the loans of the farmers to help them through this, but they cannot stop the downward spiral as the farmers are unable to take any new loans, which means they will not have the financing needed to sow their next crop, and so on.
As for the Kiva borrower who is already 40 days late in paying off his loan, his case weighs heavy on my mind as he tries daily to find a buyer for his onions. He and his wife have two young boys in primary school. They live in a one room house with a dirt floor and no running water. They own a horse and a few cattle, that the farmer may have to sell to keep from defaulting on his loan. The last news I received on his situation, was that he was restructuring his loan with Kiva Field Partner, MiCredito, to give him more time.
To avoid this adversity in the future, the farmers' association has decided that next summer, starting in October 2011, the farmers will stagger their plantings in the three agricultural regions of Sebaco, Colita, and Estelí.

Silk Double Georgette in sapphire blue is a slightly sheer, lightweight fabric most often used in eveningwear, lingerie, bridal/wedding, sportswear, and home decor. This fabric is like a slightly thicker, more opaque version of chiffon - it is much less sheer but is much more durable and possesses a beautiful flowing drape. Georgette is ideal for special occasion tops, blouses, dresses/gowns, and skirts and has a stunning effect when cut on the bias. This is also a perfect warm-weather fabric, as the silk fibers have a natural absorbency. This fabric is available in wide variety of colors.

Synthetic hair fiber should be washed as infrequently as possible or when you notice that the fiber appears dull. If you are wearing the hairpiece all day everyday, we recommend a time frame of 3-5 weeks before each wash. You do not need to wash the synthetic hair everyday to keep consistent results.
Products needed: Synthetic Shampoo, Synthetic Conditioner, Hair Comb, Towel
Step 1. Before shampooing, gently remove any tangles or teasing with your fingers or comb. Do not brush. Start from the tips of the hair and work your way up.
Step 2. Place your hairpiece in a upright direction with the ends downwards. Gently add synthetic shampoo to the hair. Use cool, never hot water.
Step 3. When rinsing the hair allow the water to flow from the roots to the ends (top to bottom). Do not soak the hair as this may cause matting and tangles.
Step 4. Rinse thoroughly in cool water.
Step 5. Gently with a towel dab to remove excess water. Do not squeeze, rub or twist.
Step 6. While still wet, spray with a leave in conditioner that is specifically formulated for synthetic hair goods.
Step 7. Dry on a towel at room temperature. This will usually take overnight for the hairpiece to be completely dry.
• styling:
Style with fingers or pick comb. Do not use a blow dryer or curling iron on synthetic hair. You may also use the synthetic styling product that are available.
With heat friendly synthetic fiber, Do not use a heating tool that exceeds 180 degrees. Blow drying is not recommended.
*Please note that it is not necessary to set your synthetic hair after washing as the synthetic fiber is set upon making of the piece.
• storage:
It is best to store the synthetic hair in it's original package that it has been sent to you. However, you can store the hair in a plastic bag or container.
If the hairpiece is curly/wavy and you want to maintain the curl, you can either twist the hair with your hands and spray leave in conditioner or you can set your hair in rollers (not hot rollers, velcro ones are ideal). This should be done before the hairpiece is dried.
We do not recommend to sleep or swim while wearing the synthetic hair. Synthetic pieces cannot be coloured.

Corrections Safety - More Balanced Prison Regime
Corrections Safety Expert Panel Should Promote a More Balanced Prison Regime
"The establishment of an expert advisory panel to improve the safety of prisons could lead to a more balanced prison management regime", says Kim Workman Director of Rethinking Crime and Punishment. "The Minister must be congratulated for taking this initiative." He was commenting on the announcement that the Hon Anne Tolley, Minister of Corrections, has appointed an international panel to advise on prison safety.
"It has been clear for some time that the management of New Zealand prisons was getting out of balance. The focus on risk management and physical security, has led to outstanding reductions in prison escapes and positive drug testing. However, at the same time, there has an increase in unnatural deaths, and assaults by prisoners on prisoners, and prisoners on staff.
Where prison management introduces excessive strip searching, lock downs, and restrictions on prisoner movement and freedom, it will inevitably result in outbreaks of violence between prisoners, and on staff. If there has not been sufficient investment in staff training and development, it increases the likelihood that prisoners and prison staff will be either seriously injured or killed."
"Prison expert Professor Andrew Coyle, visited New Zealand last week and talked about prison management being a three legged stool; security, safety and prisoner activity. Excessive security measures threaten prison and staff safety. Weakened safety measures make it more difficult to assist prisoners to become law abiding. Increased prisoner activity certainly makes prisons safer. The three responsibilities are like three legs of a stool. If they are not in balance, then the stool (that is, the prison) will become unstable and may well fall over."
"If the Safety Advisory Panel does its job well, prisoners will be treated in a humane and decent manner, and equipped to return to civil society as law abiding citizens. If a person leaves prison with better skills and training and a desire to contribute positively to society, it is likely that there will be fewer victims in the future and that society will be a safer place."

nuclear reactor: Fusion Reactors
Fusion reactors are being studied as an alternative to fission reactors. The design of nuclear fusion reactors, which are still in the experimental stage, differs considerably from that of fission reactors. In a fusion reactor, the principal problem is the containment of the plasma fuel, which must be at a temperature of millions of degrees in order to initiate the reaction. Magnetic fields have been used in several ways to hold the plasmas in a
magnetic bottle. If development should reach a practical stage of application, it is expected that fusion reactors would have many advantages over fission reactors. Fusion reactors, for instance, would produce less hazardous radioactive waste. Because their fuel, deuterium (an isotope of hydrogen readily separated from water), is far less expensive to obtain than enriched uranium, fusion reactors also would be far more economical to operate.

Heir of Black Falcon,
Thanks for the comment...
Of course the technological achievements of medieval ages cannot compare with the roman or the greek ones (but what about art or philosophy or law or rights. Compare for example the trials in ancient Greece and in medieval ages or the level of political or human rights... I mean even the first banks and the first derivatives and the first innovative products of financing such as leasing and factoring were developed in ancient Greece and then in Rome)... I believe that the legacy of Greek and Roman civilization is far greater than the medieval one.. Maybe it could be compared with Renaissance (IMO the peak of medieval ages), which is also late medieval ages... but Renaissance is mainly considered as a different era than medieval ages, despite belonging to them...also Renaissance is primarly based in Greek and Roman tradition (with the Fall of Constantinople scholars and books from Byzantine about Greek and Roman culture immigrated to Italy and to the West..) Homo universalis was the evolution of the greek and roman citizen, who was far more educated and cultured than the medieval one.
So, when I say that the technological achievements of greek-roman are more/greater than the ones of medieval civilization, I speak about a mutatis mutandis comparison. But IMO, in the intellectual-political sector the medieval civilizations are inferior to the greek-roman ones even in a straight comparison.
In political structure we have indeed more lasting governing forms but feudalism or monarchy still is inferior to democracy or senate or other complicated governing systems, which include though democratical elements, such as discrimination of powers etc.. Also any type of democracy is far more fragile than a totalitarian regime.
Of course, I didnt form my opinion from Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings, despite the fact I really love them!
However, for me LEGO is all about knights, castles and dragons! But I will surely entertain a break with a new LEGO series with a greek roman theme... Spartan warrior and Roman gladiator were amazing!

Justin Bieber Reveals on 'TODAY' That He Was Almost Named 'Jesse'
We learned some new things during Justin Bieber's morning chat (Sept. 13) with Ryan Seacrest on 'TODAY,' promoting his aptly titled book 'Just Getting Started.'
First, he told us that he was a handful when his mother Pattie Mallette was raising him, having gotten multiple suspensions from school. He also shared that she planned to name him Jesse. Jesse Bieber? That doesn't have the same ring as Justin Bieber, does it?
"I got suspended, like, every year," The Biebs said, admitting that he did not make it easy for his mom when he was growing up.
Mama Biebs joined him during the end portion of the chat, revealing that she called him "Jesse" during the gestation (or is that "Jesse-station?") period. But when he was born, she knew he was a "Justin." The Biebs said he didn't see himself as a "Jesse." Uh, neither do we.
Mallette shared that one of his teachers once told her, "When he is good, the whole class is good. When he is bad, the whole class is bad." How did she handle that assessment of her son and turn it into something positive? "We told him he's a leader," she said.
Nice work, Mama Biebs. You nailed that one, lady!
The Biebs traversed familiar terrain during the six-minute interview, saying he feels that he is not fully a man at 18, but that he is getting there, with his increased responsibilities and "signing more contracts, doing more on the business side."
He looks up to Michael Jackson as "the ultimate entertainer," saying, "his music has so much passion and emotion and I want that passion and emotion to be portrayed in my music, the way he did."
The 'As Long as You Love Me' singer also spoke about the paparazzi being annoying, and admitted that he drove recklessly in July. He qualified that admission by pointing out that the paps followed him in dangerous fashion, when they didn't need to be following him to begin with.
He doesn't want to be another teen heartthrob, either, and will spend the next few years proving people who think that wrong. Go Biebs!
The teen also confirmed that the most romantic thing he has ever done was "Staples Center," which is a reference to the fact that he rented out the famed L.A. arena a year ago so he and lady love Selena Gomez could have a date and watch 'Titanic.' Swoon!
Oh Biebs. You're a doll. And we still can't imagine having to call you Jesse Bieber. Imagine that.

Tom Cruise Returns For New Impossible Mission
Mission: Impossible 4 will star Tom: Cruise. New evidence suggests Howard Stern will not be on American Idol. Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks get picked up by Universal. Snowpocalypse 2010 got you down? The Trade Roundup has powerfully heated seats!
•Deadline reports tonight that Tom Cruise has signed on for Paramount's Mission Impossible 4. MI4 will be directed by J.J. Abrams, who directed MI3 and, most recently, Star Trek. Filming will start this summer and should be finished in time for a Memorial Day 2011 release. Remember that motorcycle fight scene from MI2?. That was AWESOME! [Deadline]
•Howard Stern and American Idol: Their tenuous relationship might be more tenuous than we first believed. Former Gawker scribe Richard Rushfield, writing in the Daily Beast, calls 'bull' on rumors that Stern could be the next Simon Cowell. "Two Idol insiders told The Daily Beast that no offer has been made to Stern... A source familiar with the search process says Stern was never even being considered." Even if Stern was a candidate, Deadline reports Ellen DeGeneres is not a fan. And rounding out your Idol news: The Wrap reports that Idol judge's blatantly placed huge plastic Coke cups have been replaced with Coke-owned Vitamin water. Ch-ch-ch-changes! [Daily Beast][The Wrap][Deadline]
•A couple of big-ticket acquisitions: Universal Pictures has scored domestic distribution rights to the Tom Hanks/Julia Roberts comedy Larry Crowne. Hanks directed the film, about "a man re-inventing his life. Broad, but promising! Roberts and Hanks co-starred in 2007's Charlie Wilson's War, which we seem to remember did pretty well. Meanwhile, Summit Entertainment has picked up North American rights to Mandate Pictures' untitled Seth Rogen/James McAvoy comedy. McAvoy will be a young guy who finds out he has cancer. Sounds like Funny People. [THR][THR]
•Earnings news! The Walt Disney Co. reported pretty flat earnings in Q3: $844 million in profits compared to $845 million a year ago. Revenue was up 1%, though. Lionsgate, on the other hand, boosted revenues by 15% in Q3. This was largely thanks to its booming TV operation—including Mad Men and Nurse Jackie Still, Lionsgate lost $66 million. [Variety][Variety]
•MTV has green-lit the next Jackass generation: Dudesons in America is about four crazy Fins who come to America and do stunts like "bullfighting on stilts and trying to build their own rocketship." MTV's Parkour Challenge is about that crazy jumpy stuff that Madonna made famous in her music video. Prediction: All these people will die violent deaths. [Variety]

Seborrheic Dermatitis
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 22, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Seborrheic Dermatitis
It is a serious issue of the epidermis in which perspiring glands known as epidermis sweat glands becomes overactive. Because of development of unwanted perspire, the epidermis becomes too greasy, gets swollen and looks red. These circumstances may also make it look dry and scratchy and results in overall look of minor yellow-colored scales which are greasy.
The issue can happen on any part of the epidermis on the body. When it develops on the head, it is known as dandruff. Other than this, it can also happen on any other part of the body like nasal area, sides of the nasal area, on temple, eye-brows and even eye lids. Greasy skin scales start to appear and are easily relocated on the hands when scraped. Area under the breasts, near genitals, underarms, belly button and butt may also have seborrhea.
The actual cause of seborrhea is mysterious but they usually occur and enhance with anxiety and modifying levels of hormones in the body. Illness from some yeast like harmful organism can also cause seborrhea. Such disease can easily be transmitted from one person to another. Hence safety measure should be taken not to share hairdressing resources and other hair components with other individuals, as this can propagate the problem further.
It is developed in kids as cradle cap and butt. It is common in teenage years too. It can also happen in older individuals and seniors. Usually men are discovered more vulnerable to seborrhea than women.
People who experience from disease like skin psoriasis, pressure, Parkinson's disease, AIDS may also have problems from seborrhea. People whose defense mechanisms is not working effectively and also those who reside in long lasting assisted living facilities generally experience dry skin and other types of seborrhea too.
Signs and Symptoms
This is indicated as yellow-colored flaky epidermis on any part of the body. The epidermis becomes red and swollen. It also generally happens in newborns on the head and is known as cradle cap; with due health care it may vanish in several weeks. In newborn babies it may also happen in the butt area as red scaly flakes. This is known as diaper rash. This can be cured by use of therapeutic creams and essential health care.
With growing age and changes in hormones in the bidy, youngsters also generally experience from this. In these adolescents, it produces as scaly dry flakes on head, facial beard, eye covers, belly button and also in the ear.
Treatment Options
There are no absolute treatments for this disease, though its symptoms can be kept minimal, mitigated and cured. For uttermost issues the skin consultant may suggest crèmes like external cortical steroids and items containing sulfur. He may also suggest the use of hair shower shampoos everyday and also taking in of anti-fungal medication. The hair shampoos and gels may contain tea shrub oil or selenium sulphide. Selsun, Tegrin, T-Gel or Ionil-T usually contains these desired products.

The lazy way they turned your head
Into a rest stop for the dead
And did it all in gold and blue and grey
The efforts to allay your dread
In spite of all you knew and said
Were hard to see and harder still to say
A comfort plush all laced in lead
Was sent to quell your sentiment
And keep your trembling sentinel hand at bay
And when a sudden silhouette
Escaped the top-side of your bed
I knew you'd never ever be the same
Oh, is it not me?
Am I not folded by your touch?
The words you spoke
I know too much
It's over now
And not enough
Oh, is it not me?
The damage you hold inside your blush?
The load you towed
You showed it up
It's over now
And I'm insane
Wild spirits winds from out your chest
Collides with world and wilderness
It needs a gentle hand to call it home
Now surfs the sun and scales the moon
And winds the waistband of her womb
All eyes ablaze the day you break your mold
Oh, is it not me?
Am I not culled into your clutch?
The words you spoke
I know too much
We're closer now
And said enough
Oh, is it not me?
Am I not rolled into your crush?
The road you chose
Unloads control
See it take me so
Go on throw this stone
Into this halfway home

The climate change debate rages, beginning with physical science and continuing with economic analysis and government policy.
The good news is that the balance of evidence continues to point toward modest warming scenarios, not catastrophic ones, from the human influence on global climate.
This would seem to be good news.
But now, some climate activists are going to extreme measures to attack our energy renaissance, analogizing that opposition to pricing carbon dioxide is akin to benefitting from slavery. "Burning fossil fuels is an ethical problem," said former EPA official Wes Wilson. "Slavery had a lot of economic benefits, but it had an ethical problem."
MSNBC host Chris Hayes likened the fossil-fuel lobby to slave owners reluctant to renounce their economic interest. "You must confront the fact that the climate justice movement is demanding that an existing set of political and economic interests be forced to say goodbye to trillions of dollars of wealth," he wrote.
The smears do not stop there. Despite vowing not to use the expression "climate change deniers"—with its purposeful similarity to "Holocaust deniers"—prominent green activist Joe Romm recently did just that.
There's an obvious reason the climate change crowd is resorting to loaded hyperbole—their popularity with the broader American public is waning. One recent poll found that only about a third of our fellow citizens think that global warming will ever seriously threaten their lifestyle.
Even some ostensible allies of the climate-change movement worry that their cause is getting infected with anti-scientific zealotry.
Take, for instance, the recent "Summary for Policymakers from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change" (IPCC). The alarmist summary is in contrast with the body of the report. As scholar Steven Hayward noted, one chapter used the terms "uncertainty" and "uncertain" 173 times, and "error" and "errors" 192 times.
Another IPCC report on the economics side of climate change has attracted trenchant criticism. Harvard's Robert Stavins complained how government representatives were allowed to remove or change text, regardless of the underlying research. In other words, activist public regulators were free to slice and dice the findings to best fit their agenda.
Economist Richard Tol complained that a "key message" from an early draft of the SPM—"many of the more worrying impacts of climate change really are symptoms of mismanagement and underdevelopment"—was deleted because of its political implications. According to Tol, the IPCC report was manipulated to focus on the "impacts of climate change and the four horsemen of the apocalypse."
Professor Tol, who has been involved with the IPCC for 20 years, disassociated himself from the report, calling instead for doing "away with alarmism … away with activists posing as scientists."
Hayward also documented the recent "vilification and intimidation" of climate-change experts who deviate from groupthink. The latest example? Swedish meteorologist and respected climate change expert Lennart Bengtsson withdrew his affiliation with the Global Warming Policy Foundation after only a week because of unbearable pressure.
This environmental alarmism is far from harmless. In June, the Obama administration revealed new plans for limiting carbon dioxide emissions—and most believe the regulations will lead to state-by-state cap-and-trade schemes.
California already went down this road with discouraging results. The cap-and-trade program will likely raise gasoline prices in the Golden State—where fuel is already over $4 per gallon—by 12 cents per gallon next year.
Climate change activists are in trouble intellectually and spurned in the court of public opinion. Yet those who are emotionally and financially dependent on the climate crusade too often resort to offensive hyperbole and to smearing their critics.
It is past time to get real on climate. A good place to start is with civility to allow the scientific process to run its deserved unimpeded course.

Philly Police Harass, Threaten To Shoot Man Legally Carrying Gun; Then Charge Him With Disorderly Conduct For Recording Them
from the lovely deptAs police are insisting that having the public record them is a dangerous situation that shouldn't be allowed, we get a striking example of just how important that right is at times. Julian Sanchez points us to a story of a guy in Philadelphia, who had a license to carry a firearm in a city where it's legal to openly carry a firearm -- but who ran into a police officer who apparently did not understand his city's own laws:
On a mild February afternoon, Fiorino, 25, decided to walk to an AutoZone on Frankford Avenue in Northeast Philly with the .40-caliber Glock he legally owns holstered in plain view on his left hip. His stroll ended when someone called out from behind: "Yo, Junior, what are you doing?"You can hear all of this via the YouTube clip, embedded here:
Fiorino wheeled and saw Sgt. Michael Dougherty aiming a handgun at him.
What happened next would be hard to believe, except that Fiorino audio-recorded all of it: a tense, profanity-laced, 40-minute encounter with cops who told him that what he was doing - openly carrying a gun on the city's streets - was against the law.
"Do you know you can't openly carry here in Philadelphia?" Dougherty asked, according to the YouTube clip.
"Yes, you can, if you have a license to carry firearms," Fiorino said. "It's Directive 137. It's your own internal directive."
Fiorino offered to show Dougherty his driver's and firearms licenses. The cop told him to get on his knees.Other cops show up and they continue to curse at him and scream at him, while he calmly responds to their claims. They discover that he has a recording device in his pocket, and they go even more ballistic, telling him he broke the law with that as well. Eventually, they finally realize that he wasn't breaking the law with the gun and let him go... But once he posted the audio on YouTube, suddenly the District Attorney took renewed interest in the case, and charged him with "reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct," claiming that he refused to cooperate with police. If you listen to the tapes, it's hard to see how anyone could make that claim with a straight face. It seems pretty clear, from the beginning, that it's the police who were recklessly endangering someone and who were disorderly in how they dealt with Fiorino.
"Excuse me?" Fiorino said.
"Get down on your knees. Just obey what I'm saying," Dougherty said.
"Sir," Fiorino replied, "I'm more than happy to stand here -"
"If you make a move, I'm going to f------ shoot you," Dougherty snapped. "I'm telling you right now, you make a move, and you're going down!"
"Is this necessary?" Fiorino said.
No matter what your opinion is on guns or open carry rules, it's hard to see how this guy deserves the treatment he received from police who clearly did not understand the law in their own city -- and it's even more ridiculous to see him facing a (trumped up) charge, after he uploaded the audio. It seems like a pretty clear case of vindictive prosecution, even as part of the issue is that the very thing that pissed off law enforcement is precisely what proves this guy was perfectly reasonable throughout the encounter.

We've just come in from a late dinner after Il matrimonio inaspettato, the opening performance of this year's Whitsun Festival. Its been a busy day of walking around town - seeing new things, revisiting old and I'm almost dead on my feet.
But before I got to bed I want to put up a quick post. Paisiello's little four character opera buffa isn't great music but damn this was great music making and comic theatre at its best. Riccardo Muti, the driving force behind the festival, his cast, chorus, orchestra and production team treated the piece lovingly and had us on our feet for a 20 minute ovation at evening's end.
If there was any star, other than Muti of course, it was the young (30 year old) Italian bass-baritone Nicola Alaimo as Tulipano, the farmer with aspirations above his station. Vocally and dramatically he was a constant delight and the strongest player in an evening with no weak links.
My friend Opera Chic has a few photos of the production on her site; and speaking of photos I'd love to get my hands on the SOB who decided that it was okay to disturb the final moments of the performance by taking not one or two but six flash photographs. There is a special place in my version of hell for a..h....s like that.
And I almost forgot tomorrow morning is an Andreas Scholl concert - and aside from the fact he is one of the finest countertenors around I've always found him hot in a nerdy-German way. Sort of "take of my glasses, unbutton my lederhosen and turn me into an animal!" And if the publicity photos are anything to go by our Andreas has been working out. Hmmm something to dream about.
Anyway I'm going to bedforshire a happier man for having experienced this evening. More tomorrow.

David Milch, the genius behind "Deadwood," has written a pilot for a new series about the world of horse racing and HBO is hoping to get Michael Mann to direct.
"The pilot is about a bunch of intersecting lives in the world of the horse racing track," Milch told Daily Variety. "It's a subject which has engaged and some might say has compelled me for 50 years. I've joked that if I just can make $25 million on this show, I'll be even on research expenses."
Milch has been involved in the sport of kings for years, having owned nearly 100 horses and notching wins at the Breeder's Cup.
U.S. & World
Mann is said to love the script and reportedly had a good experience with HBO directing an episode of Martin Scorsese's Atlantic City gangster drama, "Boardwalk Empire."
Combining Milch's mastery of story and dialogue with Mann's talents behind the camera could be awesome.

Microsoft News - Microsoft Hits Michigan With Somerset Crossing Store Opening
By Steve Anderson, Contributing TMCnet Writer
These days, when people think "Detroit", the first thing they think is commonly not "upscale shopping." But out in suburban Detroit—specifically, Troy—there's a complex that's a downright Mecca of upscale shopping in the form of Somerset Collection, a massive retail complex that features a huge array of upscale names. By the end of this summer, it will have one more upscale name to its credit as Microsoft (News - Alert) opens its first retail location in Michigan in Somerset Collection.
The Microsoft store is set to open on the second floor of Somerset North, near Macy's, putting it in the same general vicinity as the Apple (News - Alert) Store location in Somerset Collection. Given that most of the new Microsoft stores that opened through February 2012 opened within a few feet of existing Apple Store locations, it's enough to indicate that Microsoft may have a larger plan in mind for future locations, putting them directly head-to-head against their longtime rivals. Some analysts have noted that Microsoft store locations have a very similar overall feel to Apple stores, even down to the attire of employees.
Microsoft stores, meanwhile, sell pretty much the full array of Microsoft products. Naturally, they sell desktops and laptops, but also offer the newer product lines like Windows Phone (News - Alert) systems and Windows-driven tablets, like the Surface. They also offer Xbox 360 consoles, proving it's not just about productivity. Four other stores are also in the works for Microsoft, with plans to open in suburban Boston and suburban Chicago (Natick and Schaumburg, respectively), as well as locations in Honolulu and Portland, Oregon. They join a larger body of 64 total stores, outmatched by Apple four to one. Apple has over 250 stores to its credit, including five locations in Michigan alone.
Microsoft's retail position is somewhat soft against Apple's, but it really hasn't been at it so long. It's enough to wonder what Microsoft is thinking here; with the decline of brick-and-mortar being seen on several fronts in favor of online and mobile commerce. But since many brick-and-mortar locations are coming under fire by a practice known as "showrooming," in which users go to a brick-and-mortar location to examine products and get better informed about them on a hands-on level, then turn to online sources to find the best pricing, so it may be that Microsoft is trying to establish a showroom presence.
While Microsoft's overall strategy here is unknown—it could be just a simple case of monkey see, monkey do—there are certainly plenty of possibilities. Regardless of the overarching strategy, Troy shoppers will soon get a chance to get better acquainted with—and hopefully buy—an array of Microsoft products soon.

From Mark Downey, CEO Fur Handlers Auction Inc:
Fur Harvesters Auction's March 11, 2009 wild fur sale held in
Seattle drew a large crowd of international buyers. Results on sable
realized significant increases on northern goods for larger sizes compared
to recent sales. Smaller eastern sables sold at recent market levels. The
demand for wild fur remains positive but the global financial crisis has
placed all buyers and manufacturers on cautious footing. We sold at levels
previously set and held the line on what we felt were reasonable values on
all wild goods. To sell at any level is not our policy as this is not in the
best interest of our shippers and buyers, and is considered irresponsible as
this would only further shatter the confidence of our industry. Our sale
reflects what we believe is a responsible position that protects the value
of the wild fur product. As confidence returns, prices and clearances will
move forward.
We thank the trade and our valued shippers for their unwavering support
during these difficult times.
There ya have it. I'm glad FHA isn't panicking and trying ta sell for anything they could get. The people runnin FHA are also trappers, and know the blood, sweat, and tears we put into our fur harvest.
Coon prices did pretty good for those 20% that sold. Muskrat caught my eye, 85% clearance and a $4.18 (usd) average...not bad! I'll be patchin my waders for the spring!

Afghan govt denounces deadly attack on Egypt mosque
Afghan govt denounces deadly attack on Egypt mosque
KABUL (Pajhwok): President Ashraf Ghani on Saturday vehemently denounced a deadly attack on a mosque in Egypt.
At least 235 worshippers including women and children were killed during Friday prayers in a bomb and gun assault on a packed mosque in North Sinai province.
The bomb ripped through the Rawda mosque, about 40 km west of the North Sinai capital of El-Arish, before gunmen opened fire on those gathered for prayers.
In a statement from his office, President Ghani said his government condemned the assault in the strongest terms.
Having suffered terrorist attacks for the past several decades, the Afghan nation understood the pain of the victims' families, he said.
The president called for concentrated global efforts to eliminate the menace of terrorism threatening the world.

text: Sold in 1968, this particular piece ended up with a collector swiss replica watches who apparently had a very clear vision of what this watch will be worth decades later. So he locked it away in a safe and replica watches sale kept it there with the original box and certificates. 43 years later, as if nothing had happened, this 3448 was offered for auction at Christie's, straight from the original owner. The watch was in incredibly fine and original swiss replica watches condition with a sharp and unaltered case, original and rare "PP" crown and an un-restored dial. Though the story of this 3448 did not end right there. As per the trends of the era, most iterations of replica watches this model were cased in 18k yellow gold, some were in white gold and only two were made in replica watches platinum. This piece, however, is in pink gold: a treat so rare that no archivist, auctioneer or collector knew of its existence until it was listed for auction.

Recognizing the valuable role the IUCN Global Protected Areas Programme and IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas play in biodiversity conservation, the recent Decision on Protected Areas at COP 11 in Hyderabad, India specifically invites IUCN, GPAP and WCPA to continue our work on new and ongoing initiatives to help achieve Target 11 of the Aichi Biodiversity Targets and support national action plans for its Programme of Work on Protected Areas (PoWPA).
The Decision was supported by the engaged involvement of GPAP and WCPA in COP 11, through working with Parties, through side events and a well-attended Protected Areas Day held at the Rio Pavilion which covered the theme of protected areas as natural solutions to meeting global biodiversity targets and adapting to climate change. The full unedited text of the Decision can be found at Page 147 of the following document. http://www.cbd.int/cop/cop-11/doc/2012-10-24-advanced-unedited-cop-11-decisions-en.pdf
In particular, the Parties welcome the upcoming 2014 World Parks Congress to be organized in Sydney, Australia by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. IUCN, IUCN's Global Programme and the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas are then singled out for specific responsibilities that are closely aligned with IUCN's Quadrennial Programme for 2013-2016 and beyond.
The Protected Areas Decision makes direct reference to IUCN and UNEP-WCMC through recognition of the Protected Planet Report, where IUCN, the WCPA and Protected Planet partners are invited to mark progress on Aichi Target 11 through the publication of the report every two years.
The decision also invites GPAP, WCPA, the World Heritage Convention and our partners to foster regional cooperation partnerships and implementation strategies to support national action plans for PoWPA through capacity development, best practices, working with regional technical support networks and promoting development of better enabling environments, and to help achieve the full scope of Target 11.
"The prominence of GPAP and the WCPA in the draft decision indicates we are building strong partnerships and the CBD is relying on our initiatives to move the protected areas agenda forward," says Trevor Sandwith, GPAP Director. "This legitimacy will further enhance our work on Protected Planet, the IUCN World Parks Congress, and a host of important protected area challenges such as capacity development, quality measurement, governance and providing solutions to climate change and biodiversity loss. We will continue to strengthen this global partnership with the CBD and our partners to play an integral role in the PoWPA and achieving the Aichi Targets, particularly Target 11."

Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pulls - aka Crack Bread - OMG! This is THE BEST! SO addictive. People go nuts over this simple appetizer. This is always the first thing to go at parties.
I went with a cheddar bacon ranch bread. I knew these flavors would work well together since they are in my favorite dip, Crack Dip. The bread was unbelievable! My favorite part was the ranch butter that was poured over the loaf. Like the Cinnamon Roll Pulls, this bread is highly addictive. We will refer to this bread as "Crack Bread" from now on! Give it a try at your next gathering. I guarantee everyone will love it!
Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pulls - CRACK Bread
- 1 unsliced loaf of (round is preferable) sourdough bread
- 8-12 oz cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
- 1 (3-oz) bag precooked Oscar Mayer Real Bacon bits
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 Tbsp Ranch dressing mix
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Using a sharp bread knife cut the bread going both directions. Do not cut through the bottom crust.
- Place slices of cheese in between cuts. Sprinkle bacon bits on bread, making sure to get in between cuts.
- Mix together butter and Ranch dressing mix. Pour over bread.
- Wrap in foil the entire loaf in foil and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Unwrap. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Precious time is often lost through the handling of Used Point Of Sale Systems . Similarly, the more cash is handled the greater the security risk in stores. Fortunately, Point of Sale (POS) technology is making better control of cash in retail stores possible, resulting in benefit for both staff and customers.
One German furniture company has estimated that the payment process and handling of cash at the checkout takes between 15 to 25 seconds. As this is only one part of processing pos system, 15 to 25 seconds is quite substantial time and, when the seconds are calculated for the cash handling from every sale throughout the day…till operators are spending more time on this process than most business owners would like.
Then, there is also the concern of cash robbery and theft. On any given day in a retail business, one, a few or many more employees will handle cash. Think how many different times and how many different people will handle cash in a supermarket on any one day. It is also probable that many managers are reconciling cash and making deposits, which is why they use point of sale systems.
How Do You Select the Best Point Of Sale Systems in Used Point Of Sale Systems ?
In a competitive market, point of sale displays help solve several of a marketer's short-term hurdles. The impact of sales promotion measures is not durable like the results obtained through advertising and personal selling. Sale displays by and large are understood and practiced as a catalyst and as a supporting facility to advertising and personal selling.
Point of sale displays differs from advertising in many ways. Whereas advertising is mostly an indirect and subtle approach towards persuading consumers to buy a product, sale displays is a direct and almost open inducement to consumers to immediately try the product. Secondly, advertising normally has long-term objectives like building brand awareness or building consumer loyalty or repositioning a brand, sale displays performs an immediate task of increasing current sales. Finally, advertising helps sales by adding some durable and long-term value to the product, while point of sale displays aid selling by temporarily changing the existing price-value relationship of the product.
The above categorization is based on the marketing problem to be tackled. If we look at the target group to whom sale displays measures are normally aimed at, we find four broad target groups, viz. the consumer, the trade or channel and influential groups. Bulk of the sale displays effort is aimed at the consumer and the trade.
Point of Sale - Are these Five Steps Increase Product Sales Through Your POS Display?
Point of sale (POS) systems are used by hundreds of businesses in order to streamline the purchasing process as well as track the various financial and inventory data that relates to the sales made. Although the general concept behind each system is virtually the same, different industries can purchase POS systems that are tailor made for their needs. Think of it is a delivery service: A bike delivery would work fine for a local newspaper, but UPS would have to shut down if it didn't have delivery trucks. The same concept applies to POS sale systems used in retail stores, restaurants, and hotels. Each specific industry can benefit from a system that is designed for their specific needs.
Retail POS systems are specialized at quick and easy one time sales. The items stored in their database are well defined, and although there can be many colors or sizes offered for one item, there isn't very much variation in the product. If one person buys a black jacket, although the jacket comes in blue, all the people who buy the black on are still getting the same item. This is why retail POS systems are the simplest in nature. In regards to the sale process, all they need is to pull up an item's information from inventory and remove it upon purchase. Of course, this is just in reference the the sales aspect of the system; there are still complex inventory control settings and sales efficiency metrics that that can be used, but in terms of making a sale, the retail system is the most simplistic.
Clearly, when starting a business it important to take the industry specific POS into account. Don't just try and find the best deal, but rather what will work best to make your company run efficiently. Understanding why each system is unique will help when trying to make the decision for what POS system to purchase. Although the examples given were for specific industries, the systems can be applied to different industries that have similar purchasing processes: The retail POS can be used in stores ranging from clothing to electronics and the restaurant system can be used in various hospitality related industries.
POS - Point of Sale Explained
Observe your typical consumer with pos system when they're out shopping and you'll see that most people will buy something that they did not intentionally set out to buy. This is down to a number of things. Call it what you will - 'an impulse buy' or 'because I deserve a treat' or simply 'I have to have it!'
I believe that the simple reason behind a large number of these purchases, are down to clever marketing and eye-catching and believable promotional displays.
Indeed - how many times yourself have you been stopped in your tracks in a store, when first your mind sees a display, then you recognise the product from the advert you saw on the TV the other day and remember that 'this promised to reduce my wrinkles instantly'
So you walk over, stop and pick up the product and read the back of the box. It, along with the literature shown on the POS display re-confirms the claim. You decide it's a bit pricey but you really want to use this product because it will reduce my wrinkles! You want to buy it, because it will make you feel better about yourself. You go ahead and buy it and leave the store feeling happier because of your purchase. You're going to look and feel better!
So, my recommended lists of five steps to increase sales of your product through cleverly manufactured POS displays are:
1. Find a company that understands the needs of you, the client and the targeted market for your project.
2. Give a clear and concise brief and understand the budget. What does your favoured cost include and exclude.
3. Understand your brand, what may or may not the display build company use.
4. Ensure your chosen company has your trust. They will go the extra mile for you.
5. Keep in touch! It's good to talk and silly mistakes will be avoided.
Finally, sit back and enjoy fantastic product sales for all point of sale software!

Mr. Metal: "It didn't."
Dr. Grumpy: "How long did you take it for?"
Mr. Metal: "I picked up the bottle."
Dr. Grumpy: "Did you take it?"
Mr. Metal: "Um, no."
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
So homework for the coming week:
1. Open bottle
2. Take dose
3. Close bottle
4. Put down
Hold pill bottle against area of body affected by pain.
Click heels together 3 times.
Repeat "There's no cure for this" 3 times.
Whine to Doctor.
Another case of possible side effects. I am not going to take the medication because of possible side effects.
No gonna lie. I've done this. I always read about the medication I'm about to take and sometimes the side effects are just too scary.
Any explanation as to why he didn't take it?
When I asked him that question, he said "I don't know. I just didn't."
Better to have someone honestly say they didn't take it than lie and say they did.
Of course, that's like saying, "It's better to be stabbed than shot."
"If any of the pills were missing, I wouldn't be able to re-gift it."
Just having it sit around the house should help, right?
It probably speaks volumes about the regularity of this that you actually ASKED "Did you take it?"
At what point, if ever, do you "discharge" a patient for noncompliance? There has to come a time where you can't help a patient who won't help themselves?
One of my MD's told me he has had to do it a few times over the last 18 or so years. He said that he sends the patient a certified letter (under legal guidance)explaining why they are being discharged from the practice, etc.
So, I was just wondering your "take" or "approach" in situations like that!
Any MD's out there I would be interested on your take on this as well!
It's a lot closer to working than some of my patients who never even bother to pick up the prescription.
Mr. Metal:It wasn't artisnal.
"But then, after I picked up the medicine, I was driving home from the pharmacy, and I really had to take a leak, so I grabbed what I thought was my usual piss bottle..."
A close family member has stopped complaining to me about her dizziness because my first question is always "Have you taken your antivert?"
I have an inkling why it didn't work.
@ Haven--I will tell you what I tell patients: If 100% of people got the side effects, the drug company wouldn't be able to sell it!! Most side effects of most drugs affect less than 5% of people. They almost always are NOT permanent if you are the unlucky 5%. Please rethink this. If you really need the medication, it should be worth trying it!
Sometimes there's a reason for non-compliance. I'm compliant with most of my prescriptions, but I was recently prescribed one that came in tablets almost an inch across. I just can't swallow them, and they taste increadibly bitter, so I can't chew them.
WTF? You would think they would make them smaller.
Baaaaaaaaah. People will make my eyes roll out of their sockets one of these days.
I want to know why they come in for the frigging bloodwork that tells me if the medication is working. Let me give you a clue. The medicine does not work just because you got a paper (and possibly a bottle) with the name of the drug on it.
And, yes I have discharged people for noncompliance. But only after feeling like they were putting their lives in danger. And after they drove me up the wall for months.
