This guy impressed the pants (and socks) off us last year with his arcade game role-playing, getting so into Ghost Squad that he became Ghost Squad.
Well, Sega's replacing the older title with a new one, Operation Ghost. Which means, yup, he gets to try out an all-new routine.

Access to affordable essential medicines:
Increasing access to affordable essential medicines is important to achieving the health-related MDGs. Yet, there has been little improvement in recent years in improving availability and affordability of essential medicines in developing countries. Only 51.8 per cent of public and 68.5 per cent of private health facilities in those countries are able to provide patients with essential medicines. Prices of available essential medicines tend to be the multiple of international reference prices. As a result, obtaining essential medicines, especially for treatment of chronic diseases, remains prohibitive for low-income families in developing countries. The problem is compounded when several family members suffer from illness at the same time. In such cases, treatment of common diseases with even the lowest-priced generics becomes impossible for many low-income households. Availability of originator brand medicines tends to be greater in private health facilities, but they are also priced substantially higher and therefore out of reach for the poor. Despite the global economic downturn, resources available for the provisioning of essential medicines through some disease-specific global health funds increased in 2011. New funding was pledged to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation. Global initiatives such as these have been effective in the prevention and control of specific diseases. The challenges for these initiatives are to generate new and additional resources, rather than merely intermediating already committed ODA and private charitable contributions, and to align the diseasespecific interventions with broader national health programmes and policies of recipient countries. Various initiatives to improve access to essential medicines are being explored. Some efforts aim to reduce production and distribution costs of generic medicines through manufacturing in developing countries. Several developing countries have managed to produce medicines locally with the support of pharmaceutical companies and initiatives from developed and developing countries. In recent years, an increasing number of developing countries have successfully used the flexibilities provided in the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) to lower costs and increase access to essential medicines by facilitating local production or the importation of generic medicines. However, many countries have yet to amend their national laws to incorporate TRIPS flexibilities fully. Furthermore, an increasing number of bilateral and regional free trade agreements include intellectual property protection that exceeds the minimum standards required by the TRIPS Agreement, which may hamper the use of flexibilities. Quality is another key issue in access to essential medicines. Counterfeit as well as substandard pharmaceutical products can pose a very serious threat to health. However, resource constraints limit the capacity of regulatory authorities in developing countries to properly oversee the quality, safety and efficacy of medicines circulating in their markets.

January 1998 - Newsletter 57
It's mid-January and the Christmas/New Year celebrations seem a lifetime away. All went well except that I had a monumental cold/flu/bubonic plague/South Korean Collapse Syndrome bug just when I needed to be on top form two weeks before Christmas. Not that I felt sorry for myself you understand well, not much. Thanks to all those front row folks who accepted my bugs with great stoicism and probably spent their festive season in bed with a raging fever. My only hope is that you were sufficiently recovered to see the New Year in with style.
HALSWAY MANOR WEEKEND 13th - 15th February
We have been fending off enquiries about what is to happen at this weekend gathering for months now. There's a very good reason for this, we haven't really thought about it until now. It's very difficult to concentrate on 1998 when 1997 is passing at a high rate of knots and other projects are looming alarmingly. However, you have been very trusting and I'm delighted to say that accommodation at the Manor has been sold out for some while. If you fancy a last minute booking though you might get B & B locally, several people have done this and apparently there are still a few beds available if you fancy it. Ring 01984 618274, this is the Halsway number and they will sort you out. What goes on? I suspect a fair bit of chaos, we don't want anything too regimented do we? On the menu so far are a Friday night dance, a Saturday night concert, a Yetties through the ages type talk by Bonny (our archives will be there for all to peruse through the weekend), music sessions (bring your instruments), a gentle Dorset concert (traditional songs, readings etc.), maybe a dance workshop (learn a few more maneouvres, steps etc) and singarounds in the bar (yes, there is a bar). Roland Birchby has already suggested one competition for the weekend the subject of which I'm not prepared to reveal now because some of you will instantly start doing some research. We shallprovide a prize for the winner. A bottle of my home made plonk or some such expensive item. The concert on the Saturday night will be open to those not booked in for the weekend so ring Halsway if you are interested in joining us for the evening.
1st Wednesday of each month, West End Hall
I must say we have had some cracking nights of late. You can keep the West End of that place the other side of Milborne Port for my money. The quality of musicianship and the variety of entertainment never ceases to amaze me. There's nothing I like better than listening in a state of wonder to the talent that just seems to pop out of the woodwork once a month. The youngsters are particulaly impressive. They start at the age of 5 so by the time they get to the ripe old age of 10 they are seasoned performers. It makes an old man (that's me) feel kind of humble. Shirley Marie, who some of you will know from Christmas concerts and club appearances, has a recording contract with a Canadian Company. But then she's proper ancient. At the age of 14 you expect that sort of thing. She has a lovely voice and personality and we wish her all the best. She certainly deserves it.
Of course we book professional artists too and on March 4th we have The Amazing Mr Smith. He has been a couple of times before and I think it's fair to say that he has amazed us all on both occasions. He is a brilliant guitarist with a completely zany sense of humour and so the evening is one of complete contrasts. On April 1st Pete has booked Timothy Van Eyken who is just about to go full time although he is only 19 years old. We have watched his musical talents develop from a very early age. (I was a guest at his Christening) and I think, over the years, he has tried just about every musical instrument on the planet. He has now settled for melodion, penny whistle and guitar. On top of that he has an excellent voice and at this very moment in time he is recording his first solo album for a record company based in Sheffield.
You don't need to buy tickets beforehand, just come along and pay your pennies on the door. Of course if you perform you don't pay so if you have some party piece tucked away in your bonce you might like to give it an airing. Our audiences are very friendly. We haven't had a lynching in years. It has been known for people to get lost looking for The West End Hal, so if you are in doubt drop a line and a stamped, addressed envelope to the P0 Box and I will send you a map.
We seemed to spend quite a bit of last year either, rehearsing, recording or waiting for new albums but the world doesn't stand still and those who have already purchased 'Folk Music of Old England' and 'Praise of Dorset' are already looking for more. This very encouraging. Thank you very much. So what shall we do? We have some ideas of course but it would be rather nice to know what you think. Have you a favourite song or piece of music that you would like to hear? If so then let us know but please bear in mind that we have certain limitations of larynx etc.
This is big thank you to all those friends of ours out there who organise bookings for us in their local communities from Lands End to John O' Groats (well actually we've never made the latter but you know what I mean). Not only do you keep us hopping about the country, turning a penny so to speak but there are an awful lot of charities who benefit from your labours. The hospitality that greets us is also quite overwhelming at times. I don't think that there can possibly be a friendlier bunch of promoters. Cheers to you and yours.

I don't often post on Friday nights. It's such a good night to take a blog break: it's the end of the week, the end of my longest academic day (8 am – 5 pm nonstop, with a four and a half long Orgo lab thrown in), and there's always a good chance that the culinary creativity that I brought from the previous weekend into Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday has run dry. I usually work through my weekends, but there's a small part of me that likes to set aside either Friday or Saturday for blog pause.
Then there are weeks like this week, which felt inordinately tiring. And sometimes the best way to end those weeks are with my two of my favorite things:words and food. Today, I'll end this endless week with something even better: words, food, and chocolate.
I made these cookies for a party last Friday night, and I'd tested them the week before. My goal was to make a cookie that was super rich, but not super sweet. (When it comes to dessert, I'll always trade chocolate for sugar.) My first batch was to my liking, but actually not quite sweet enough. My second batch, which contained a bit more sugar, was crowd-friendly. If you'd like to taste more chocolate than sweetness here, I'd say to use 3/4 cup sugar (my first test batch was 2/3 cup). If you're a traditional cookie lover, stick to a cup.
The key to this recipe is the use of really good cocoa powder. I used Navitas Naturals raw cacao powder. The stuff is precious and costly enough that I didn't love putting it into a baking recipe (I usually save it for smoothies and almond milk hot cocoa) but I must say, it elevated this otherwise standard cookie recipe to new places. Everyone who tried these cookies commented upon the depth of chocolatey flavor.
When baking cookies, cakes, and anything for which an omnivore baker would typically cream butter, I personally like to cream coconut oil in its solid form instead. Coconut oil is a saturated fat, which means it is a solid at room temperature and a liquid at slightly warmer temperatures. You can use it in either form, but if you use the solid form you can beat it with a hand mixer as you would butter. It'll melt, but by the time it does, it will be well incorporated with your sugar and vanilla. This technique is a great way to use a non-Earth Balance, yet solid fat in your vegan baking.
With that said, Earth Balance is miraculous stuff when it comes to making authentic vegan baked treats. So if that is your tried and true ingredient, go ahead: it'll work absolutely perfectly in this recipe.
Vegan Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies (vegan, can be made gluten free if you know what you're doing, soy free)
Makes about 25 cookies
1 1/4 cups whole wheat pasty flour
1/2 cup raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
1/2 tsp baking soda
Pinch salt
1/2 cup coconut oil, solid
3/4 – 1 cup demerara sugar
1 tbsp flax meal mixed with 2 tbsp warm water, OR 1 Ener-G egg replacer (I like the latter for delicate baked goods, like cookies)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 heaping cup dark chocolate chunks (or dark chocolate chips)
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) Sift together flour, cacao, baking soda, and salt.
3) In a large mixing bowl, beat together the coconut oil and sugar with an electric hand beater, starting on low speed then moving to high. Beat in the flax egg and vanilla.
4) Add about half of the dry ingredients to the cookies and keep mixing with your hand mixer. Add the other half, then the chocolate chunks, and mix until everything is uniform.
5) Drop by the tablespoon onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until crispy at the edges. Remove from oven and let cool before serving.
Just look at those lovely, deep ridges in the cookie:
These are heaven on a plate. Or in a stack.
Can you make these gluten free? Absolutely. Do I know how? Not exactly. I find that GF baking is easiest in quickbreads or muffins; I'm still mastering cookies and cake. I'd use a GF baking mix, or, if you happen to know a lot about gluten free baking already, use your kitchen intuition.
If you happen to have had a long week, too—and c'mon, who hasn't—I suggest you whip these up. The only thing more rewarding than a homemade sweet is a homemade sweet that is saturated with chocolate.
OK. Speaking of saturation (ha! bad Orgo puns!!) I've got to hit the books. Happy weekend, everyone.

Shotgun Seamstress
"Shotgun Seamstress" is the name of a zine edited by Osa from Portland band the New Bloods…
By black punx, for black punx, "Shotgun Seamstress" continues in the vein of other critiques/commentaries/celebrations/creations such as the documentary "Afropunk" and the zine "Evolution of a Race Riot", except that this is made for the feminists/punx/queers of today and issues are still being produced (I think number 3 is in the works) so it features articles and reviews about current happenings (as well as delving into the past and bringing to light a whole bunch of bands and artists who more people should know about).
Issues 1 & 2 has writing by US punk/indie allstars like Brontez from Gravy Train!!!/the Younger Lovers, Chris Sutton from Dub Narcotics/Old Haunts/Spider and the Webs, as well as Osa & Adee from the New Bloods and more.
I love this zine! It's great to read about your favourite music genres while also only reading about people of colour…woah, what a novel experience, no need to try and twist around your daydreams so in your mind's eye you look like the white face performing in the photograph…
If you live in New Zealand, you can get this zine from www.cherrybombcomics.co.nz, and I think Microcosm Publishing sell it to everyone else in the world.

The Vanishing
To continue in the vein of dark punk music started by An Experiment on a Bird in the Airpump, I thought I'd mention a band that I have just come to, 4 years too late…
The Vanishing started off in San Francisco in 2001, ending in Berlin in 2005. Featuring Jessie Evans, previously from all-female death rock band Subtonix (vocals/sax/bass) and Brian Hock (drums) and then later Billy (keyboards, bass) and Sadie Shaw (keyboards), The Vanishing could be described as cabaret punk, or gothic electro. Jessie's distinctive saxaphone combined with what has been described as electro-dancehall beats create a frantic and hypnotic maelstrom of sound, and it's definitely fitting that the band eventually moved to Berlin, as The Vanishing sound as though they were born in that scene, and could've played on the same bill as 80s German post punk band Malaria!
And in fact, Jessie Evans went on to form Autonervous with Bettina Koster from Malaria! – a match made in heaven. A track from their self-titled album is also included on Chicks on Speed's Girlmonster compilation of female post punk & electro artists.
Jessie now performs under her own name and has just finished an album Is it Fire , featuring Toby Dammit & Budgie from Siouxsie & the Banshees, among others, which she will shortly be touring.
Check out the video to my favourite Vanishing song, Lovesick:

"About the Use of the Violet Flame"
I have to tell you that when you as a conscious disciple manage the Violet Flame, a parallel activity of the Violet Flame is initiated internally. This results in the vibrational awakening of your chakras. Therefore, each time when you use the gift of the Violet Flame you are asked not only to focalize your attention on what you want to transmute but also on the internal activity which takes place within yourself.
One of the consequences of the continual use of the Violet Flame is the accelerated awakening of all your chakras, you will, step by step, wake up in a different world from where you live now.
This is the space for you to ORGANISE your personal connexion group, to look for likeminded people, to introduce yourSELF and say what you would like to contribute to the every expanding NET OF LIGHT around the world.
You have received clear guidance on a project,type of meditation, course of action to take? You are WELCOME to share here so we can start DREAMING and thus CREATING together!

The Franklin Hotel reopens with Michelin-star chef Alfredo Russo
Over in Knightsbridge London the renovation of The Franklin Hotel (Starhotels) has come to an end with the hotel reopening.
The property was closed for a year while it was done up by new owners the Italian group Starhotels, who brought in Anouska Hempel to oversee the new-look.
Charmingly tucked away in a stunning row of Victorian Townhouses with striking views over Egerton Gardens, The Franklin combines the warmth of a private home, the impeccable service of a Grand Hotel and Anouska Hempel's timeless, Italian-influenced design.
Its secluded English gardens are the perfect counterpoint to bustling Knightsbridge.
The 35 room hotel now has a restaurant with a well known Italian chef in charge. Alfredo Russo is best known for his Turin restaurant Dolce Stil Novo - he also runs a restaurant in Dubai, Vivaldi by Alfredo Russo. Chef Russo will be taking classic dishes from Italy and giving them his own unique take.

As its title says, Genesis is the book of beginnings. This is the divinely revealed account of Creation—the official one, not the mythical Darwinian one. Yet Genesis contains more than just the divine account of the origin of the earth, of man, and evil on this planet. This book also unveils the opening salvo in the […]
A fallacy of modern days is the perception that the NT church, the church in its infancy, was a model of Christian purity and power and largely unaffected by some of the toxic influences and divisiveness that bedevils modern church life. This perception is greatly exaggerated and no NT epistle illustrates the same old 'modern' […]
In the miracle narratives of the Gospels we have a great window into the person and work of Jesus Christ as well as insight into the life of faith.

The Final Word is a daily Bible teaching radio program from Pastor Jim Andrews of Lake Bible Church, in Lake Oswego, Oregon. It currently airs in Portland, Oregon, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. However, we hear from listeners all over the world who listen in via our web site. Pastor Jim typically teaches through the books of the Bible in an expositional style.
Past messages are available in the podcast archive. We encourage our listeners to take advantage of this extensive reference as they endeavor to understand and apply Scripture to their daily lives.
Pastor Jim has over fifty years in Christian ministry: tweny-one as a teacher in Bible college and seminary and over thirty years as a pastor and Bible teacher. As he himself describes his preaching philosophy, he strives in his teaching "to herd biblical truth and the issues of life into violent collision at the intersections of the mind and heart." He models that old adage that sees the preacher's job as "comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable." His ministry resonates most with people "who are seeking to look up, to study God, to know Him, to understand His ways and His will and then to do it."
Pastor Jim can be reached at Lake Bible Church at 503-699-9840, ext: 202. His e-mail address is: firstname.lastname@example.com.

For general information, requests, or questions, please e-mail us at email@example.com.
To sustain and expand this ministry requires a partnership of vision such as inspired the Apostle Paul to commend the Philippians for their "participation in the gospel from the first day until now." He preached wherever he could; they provided all they could. Together all were partners in the eternal outcome.

Michelle Obama has launched a new initiative that she plans to make the centerpiece of her time as First Lady. She's calling it "Let's Move: America's Move to Raise a Healthier Generation of Kids." She's aiming to use her platform to decrease childhood obesity and make changes that allow individuals to reach adulthood at a healthy weight.
The campaign has a lot of great things about it; it's also raised some concern – but for now, we'll gloss over some of the concerning things she's said while discussing the initiative, such as referring to one of her daughters as becoming "chubby," and mentioning that the pediatrician put her on a "diet." Let's concentrate on the good aspects of the campaign, and hope that the First Lady's good intentions lead her to become a bit better informed about those other issues.
Encouraging our nation to get up off of our couches and MOVE is a great idea. Here are just a few thoughts about this:
• As our access to media in the home has increased, so has our sedentary nature – in the "old days," we didn't have a constant, steady, 24-hour a day buffet table of entertainment available right within our homes. These days, entertainment is immediately available on TVs, computers, MP3 players, cell phones, video game systems, DVD players, etc., etc., etc. – feel free to take a peek at January 28th's blog about screen time – and kids are freely partaking on the order of more than seven and a half hours a day. All of these new pursuits keep our backsides firmly planted, which is part of our national problem.
• Anxiety about our children's school performance has led some school districts to shrink or do-away with recess. WHAT?? This is a terrible irony. Exercise is known to increase concentration. So at the same time that schools claim they are trying to boost performance, at the same time that people are screaming that more and more kids are being diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, at the same time that journalists are reporting an increase in scripts for ADD meds – schools are not using a simple, reasonable intervention to improve the chance that kids can pay attention in class. So back in the stone age, when I was in elementary school, we had recess at 10:00 and 2:00, and a little bit of outside time around lunch. Let's go back to the stone age.
• Speaking of anxiety. . . .anxiety and depression stats have been on the rise for kids, too. And guess what has a positive effect on these issues? Yup, exercise. Exercise is known to improve both anxiety and depression, and is known to have a positive impact on self-esteem.
• Sleep disorders are on the rise, too. Disordered sleep has a negative effect on lots of things: attention, learning, anxiety, depression, weight, general health. And guess what can improve sleep? Yup, exercise.
• A variety of indicators point to the fact that our nation's kids are becoming less healthy as a group – younger and younger children are being diagnosed with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes – all of which can be improved or avoided through regular exercise. And bone health is improved through exercise, too.
So how can you help your child get more exercise? This won't be an exhaustive list, but consider these possibilities:
• Get yourself up and move! Modeling good exercise behavior is the best way to teach your kids.
• Do you live where it's safe/possible for your child to walk or bike to school? If so, there's no reason to provide portal-to-portal chauffeur service. If you're in doubt about safety issues, walk or bike with them. It'll be a nice chance to chat while you both get exercise.
• Come up with a family goal – train together for a charity walk or run, join a multigenerational softball team, take up a family sport (tennis, frisbee, volleyball, kickball).
• Put limits on your child's "screen time." Better yet, have them earn that screen time by accumulating exercise points.
• Encourage your child to participate in physical activity after school – a sports team, a dance class, ice skating lessons, Girls on the Run, tennis with a friend, a neighborhood game of tag. Help them find something they love, and then help them find some way to pursue that regularly.
• Turn up the music after dinner and have a family dance party.
• Make it a tradition to go for a family walk every night after dinner.
• If you live in a safe neighborhood, make it your child's job to take your dog for a walk. And if you don't have a pet that needs walking, encourage your child to start a dog-walking business to help out your family friends (and to sneak in a little more exercise).
I can't quote specific statistics on all of this, but it's gotta be true that exercising, becoming healthier and stronger physically and psychologically, tearing ourselves away from all of the screens that clamor for our attention, engaging face-to-face in activities with our own families, feeling less tired, less anxious, less depressed, just plain better about ourselves – all of these things are going to have positive effects on our productivity at work and school, our bodies, and most importantly of all, our relationships with each other.

TMA necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 51 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
The company is a global subsea contractor, as such this should be a fresh design for an International audience (with a North American focus—will only be developed in one language-English).
Gulmar Offshore
Our World is Under the Sea
Desired Color Scheme:
Has to work with the red and blue in the logo
Desired Style:
Business Professional, Clean, Modern
Accepted File Formats:
Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
We are looking for a modern and innovative design with a somewhat conservative slant. A clean and professional design, but nothing really "Web 2.0" in terms of style. This B-to-B organization services very large subsea and energy companies and it's target audience is mostly "C" level so the design should first appeal to executive level folks and be easy to read and have an obvious navigation structure.
• Home
• Corporate Overview
• Services
• Products (or Fleet)
• Markets
• Information Centre
• Contact
The content (this is just placeholder copy) is as follows:
Gulmar Offshore specializes in subsea services: engineering, construction, geophysical and geotechnical surveys, pipeline stabilization, pipeline maintenance and repair, cable installation, pipeline and cable trenching, offshore maintenance and commissioning services. Our operational scope goes from the shallowest to the deepest waters of the Middle East and South East Asia.
Established in 1998 and led by a team of experts of prominent renowned offshore contractors, Gulmar has established a reputation of innovation and professionalism, making us world leaders in underwater technology. Our group owns four DP vessels, "Falconâ€, "Eagleâ€, "Condor†and "Badaroâ€, and are in the process of acquiring 4 new vessels.
We'd like to see examples with a graphic area at the top of the site (may ultimately be Flash) that contains a photo, either this or a stock image of a ship that has a bit more interest or one that is related to subsea construction, shoot, maybe even deep sea-life...
Also, sections on the page containing:
Current News (fine to greek in some copy)
Project Management
Subsea Operations
Marine Assets
Here is a list of some of the company's competition, they say they are closest to Acergy in what they do than to the others:
- Acergy: http://www.acergy-group.com
- Subsea7: http://www.subsea7.com
- Technip: http://www.technip.com
- Heerema: http://www.heerema.com
- McDermott: http://www.mcdermott.com
- Global Industries: http://www.globalind.com
- Helix: http://www.helixesg.com
- Saipem: http://www.saipem.it
Here are a couple of design examples we like (note: we're speaking generally here and not looking for a knock-off, ORIGINAL WORK ONLY):
This is just the beginning if we find the right person, the winner of this contest is likely to be asked to design more work. This client has contracted us to produce several things (we currently have a contest for a brochure cover running right now as well) in addition to the entirely new website.
Good Luck and feel free to ask any questions or let us know if more information is needed. Thanks!!
Here is a copy of the logo as a gif. (It's a bad scan but we're working on getting a clean vector version)

1. I'm
2. I've got a little extra "fluff" on my body in a few areas.
3. I'm trying hard to build body confidence.
4. I'm frugal.
5. I despise bathing suits, bathing suit shopping and wearing a bathing suit in public. If it has the word "bathing suit" in it or involves wearing one, I've already made up my mind that I hate it.
6. I'm cheap.
Because of numbers 1, 4 and 6, the bathing suit that I had purchased on last year's clearance rack was unraveling at all of the seams and I needed a new one. I mean seriously, who wants to spend very much money on an elastic body stocking? But we've got a conference coming up for hubby's work that is being held at Great Wolf Lodge. We love GWL, but wearing a bathing suit in front of all those business associates? Not so much.
For some reason I didn't plan this move out very well because I ran out of time to leisurely shop for one and ended up having to take all three kids bathing suit shopping with me today. (Insert groaning, cussing and tears here) I don't know anybody whose idea of fun includes stripping down and trying on swim suits in front of their kids, but whatever. I had no choice.
I came to the first rack of suits that didn't look like butt floss and picked up every one piece bathing suit that had enough support to hold the girls up. The boys were sitting in the cart covered by a mountain of Lycra. As Sadie was oooing and ahhhing over all the skimpy, teeny bikinis and trying to convince me to buy something covered in glitter, I was grumbling under my breath at how wasted all my modesty talks were undone with one single shopping trip.
We trucked it to the dressing room where I pulled on a bathing suit that had a huge tag boasting "instantly slims you." It was made by Spanx and as you know, I love me some Spanx. I tied it all up, adjusted the parts of the body that required adjusting and looked in the mirror. If my kids had not been in that dressing room with me I probably would have screamed out ,"Holy f#@k! I have a waist!!!!" It was like the angels sang and God smiled down on me in that one instant. I'm not sure where all of my torso fat goes when I put this suit on, but it seems to disappear. Probably gets compressed down into my liver or something. Granted, it doesn't do a damn thing for my thighs and bat wings, but I actually felt okay about it. Never ever ever in my whole life have I bought the first bathing suit that I tried on, but I fell in love with this one instantly.
|I'll just go ahead and lie and say that this is my body while I'm at it.
In my opinion, Spanx has saved me massive anxiety, hours of time trying on suits and kept my child from being listed as a missing person. If I'd have had to stay in the dressing room any longer, he'd have crawled right under the door and I love him and all but I would not have chased him through the store in my skivvies.
So what had the makings of a total disaster turned into a total success! Score! I give the day two big thumbs up.
|Don't you wish you had a seven year old who wanted to use your camera to take pictures all the time so that you had pictures of yourself doing all sorts of dumb things like giving thumbs up? Of course you do.

Second Rotation needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 28 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
We would like to test our landing pages to optimize conversion and drive more action on our site. Specifically, we are looking at our category pages, where people try to find their specific products to sell.
Desired Color Scheme:
similar to current site
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
At Second Rotation, we buy old electronics from consumers, and then refurbish and resell or recycle them. So we offer a quick and easy way for people to get cash for their old gadgets that are just collecting dust. Its extremely easy, they find their product, tell us the condition, and our calculator tells them how much we'll pay. They send the item to us, we pay for postage, and then we send them a check! We support these categories: Cell Phones, GPS Devices, Video Game Consoles, Apple Laptops, Digital Cameras, MP3 Players, Camcorders.
We would like to re-design our Cell Phone category index page:
The current process flow is:
1) find product from a page such as http://www.secondrotation.com/brows…%20Phones;
2) go to specific product page such as http://www.secondrotation.com/trade…-treo-650;
3) answer the questions, get a price value, and then go to this page: https://www.secondrotation.com/pack…ealsummary
4) fill out address and print shipping kit
A few comments:
-we want the product landing page to do a better job of encouraging action, to increase the number of people who end up printing a shipping label
-we want to see new and different concepts
-we think that we may need to add some copy about what the process entails, similar to the big green box on the homepage, but maybe not as large (http://www.secondrotation.com/)
-we are open to stripping down the page and making it very simple, but we also welcome designs that still include links to our other categories (but not as dominant as those links are now)
-we want to create an effective and simple interface/design/call-to-action possible to search/find a phone on this page
-we want to convey trust and credibility, which could be through design, or it could be through text (i.e. "we give you market value for your product, guaranteed")
-we want to emphasize how easy and fast the process is, and the fact that we are giving people real cash for their products
-we are open to reducing the number of images on the page, or even eliminating images
-the header and footer need to stay intact, but the search box and the videos in the header and footer can be moved elsewhere on the page
Thanks very much!

Do not use caffeine and ergotamine within 24 hours before or after using another migraine headache medicine, including:
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may interact with caffeine and ergotamine and lead to unwanted side effects. Avoid the use of grapefruit products while taking caffeine and ergotamine.
Tell your doctor about all medicines you use, and those you start or stop using during your treatment with caffeine and ergotamine, especially:
This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact with caffeine and ergotamine, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide.
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Never use more than your recommended dose. Overuse of migraine headache medicine can make headaches worse. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in treating your migraine attacks. This medicine is not for daily use.

- Stocks To Watch
Einhorn: Oil States Worth $155 With REIT Carveout
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of Oil States International rose 4% in after-hours trading Wednesday following a pitch from Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn.
In the final presentation at the Sohn Investing Conference in Manhattan, Einhorn said the oilfield services and equipment company, Oil States International (OIS), was worth $100 or more if the stock fairly reflected the sum of its parts. The stock rallied nearly $4 to more than $99 after hours. Einhorn said Oil States four energy-related businesses are undervalued: tubing, offshore equipment services, well site services and the construction of rooms housing for people working on energy projects from Canada to Australia.
The company has a market cap of $5.5 billion, and its multiple of enterprise value to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization is low at around 7 times, Einhorn maintains.
Unfortunately for Einhorn, another activist investor beat him on part B of his thesis: the stock could be worth $155 if Oil States converts its accommodations business into a real estate investment trust.
Jana Partners in late April disclosed a 9% stake in Oil States and said it is talking with management about separating the accomodations business and converting it to a REIT. (Oil States is the rare energy enterprise with a woman CEO, Cindy B. Taylor.) Some sell side analysts downgraded Oil States to Neutral thereafter. But the stock was at $76 when Jana disclosed its stake, and now is rallying to $100.
Einhorn closed with good luck wishes for Jana, and the caution to investors that they shouldn't dive into Sohn stock picks without doing their own research. Indeed, the Financial Times said in a story Wednesday that the sum of top picks from Sohn conference hedge fund managers last year produced a 19% return, but investing in a passive U.S. stock fund would have produced a 22% return.
A summary of the FT argument on Quartz.com here. And an Oil States presentation is here.

Live Birds of Prey at Conservation District meeting
Joe Rogers of the Wildlife Recovery Association presented his Live Birds of Prey demonstration to those in attendance of the 53rd Annual Arenac Conservation District Meeting.
Please review our community guidelines before posting
Please keep comments on topic and appropriate for all ages. Remember that people of all ages read our website. Those that are not appropriate will be removed. Please read our full community guidelines before posting.
Certainly would like to see more articles like this about what is happening in Arenac County and less editorials about the lives of the writers for the Arenac County Independent. Thanks
Well Conann,
Why don't you read one of the other news sources that serves Arenac County... Oh wait, there isn't any!
Plus, One column a week from a reporter, compared to the 7 to 10 stories they put out a week is a pretty darn good ratio. It's comparable to many other newspapers across the country.
Columns allow reporters to build a relationship with people in the community on a personal level, which is vital to successful news gathering endeavors. But than again, its easy to forget about personal connections when your trolling the internet insulting people who provide a much needed service.
If the reporter has time to write a column about themselves, then they have time to write stories about the county. I pay for my subscription to the Arenac so I can read a weekly paper with news articles. The personal lives of your reporters are of no interest to me nor are 3 editorials of your opinions. You write the news as it happens and I will make my own decisions. I believe that is what a newspaper is all about.
There was one editorial in the paper this week, versus how many news and sport stories? Doesn't every newspaper have an opinion page? I, personally, really like the editorials and features that the reporters write about themselves. That's what is nice about our community newspaper, we get to know the people who work there. Welcome to the community Lauren, I hope to keep reading about your adusting to the area. Keep up the good work.
conann, sorry that you feel that way. However, that is your opinion. You feel that you're entitled to your opinion, correct? I do too. You know where that would be placed if you were working at a newspaper (whether it be the Arenac County Independent, Bay City Times, Detroit Free Press, New York Times, etc.)? The Opinion page -- exactly where columns are printed of the reporter's thoughts you are complaining about. So, if the reporters are not entitled to do their job to fill the Opinion page, which is part of the job description, would it be fair to say that you are not entitled to your opinion as well?
I don't think that'd be fair at all.
So, if you don't want to read the Opinion page, allow your eyes to skip over it, and continue reading the other articles in the paper... and feel free to pass along story ideas to the new reporter.
I have been giving my opinion but I do want people to pay me to put it in the newspaper--but then maybe I should. Maybe there shouldn't be a "reporter" opinion page as you describe it. Just good stories about what is happening in the county. For example, the Soil Conservation Dinner--it was not about owls and children. The two reporters at this dinner taking many, many pictures and interviewing many, many people came up with 3 pictures on the internet and one sentence! That dinner was about farmers getting awards for conserving the land, the programs being offered through that office, a child designing a poster which was in a state contest and an election of soil conservation board members. Apparently, the reporters did not think that was worth giving an "opinion" about. Maybe this is what is wrong with the Arenac you seem to feel I should tell her how to do her job. Not everything (forget opinions) just story ideas so she won't have to find them for herself. Much easier to sit in the office and write opinion pages!!!

Sirus, a Psychology major from Sarasota, Fla., posted a 3.92 grade point average.
This was the second year in a row Sirus has been named a First Team Academic All-America. She is the first Lipscomb athlete to accomplish this feat in the NCAA era.
Both Sirus, and senior center fielder Lauren Dortwegt, earned First Team ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA District IV honors. District IV includes Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Ohio and Michigan.
The award honors both athletic and academic achievements. Sirus was one of the top offensive players in the Atlantic Sun Conference this past season. She was named MVP of the Atlantic Sun Tournament and was also named to the Atlantic Sun All-Conference First Team.
The Lady Bisons finished with a 50-13 record, including a berth in the NCAA Tournament where they lost in the regional final to top-seeded Alabama.
To be eligible for Academic All-America® consideration, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director.
Since the program's inception in 1952, CoSIDA has bestowed Academic All-America honors on more than 14,000 student-athletes in Divisions I, II, III and NAIA, covering all NCAA championship sports.
Kiihnl in top 50: Doug Meffley of Northwestern Athletics Communications monitors a number of NCAA Division I softball pitching statistics.
Lipscomb sophomore pitcher Whitney Kiihnl is tied for 40th in the category of strikeout ratio in terms of innings pitched with a 9.2 Kiihnl has pitched 435 innings the past two seasons and struck out 574 batters.
