Very often, various symbols of the relentless flow of time (like hourglasses, watches, sundials, old pendulum clocks, timepieces, horologes) are included in the Death tattoo designs. The presence of the time-related symbols is a reminder that the time is running out and the life is slipping away.
Among these, the most popular is the traditional symbol of mortality - the Hourglass.
The image of the hourglass, sometimes with the addition of metaphorical wings, is a symbol of the human life's fleeting, and that the "sands of time" will run out for every human life. The Hourglass also represents the belief that death is not the end, but rather the beginning of something new, as the hourglass can be turned to start over. The hourglass is also a symbol of the patience (the symbol of Death patiently waiting for every human being).
This design often uses the hourglass as the focal point in the tattoo. The hour glass design can be made to look almost as menacing as the Grim Reaper.

MACON, Ga. (March 7, 2013) – In a season where offensive inefficiency haunted the ETSU men's basketball team, the Buccaneers' final game of the season was a nightmare.
Scoring a season low 22 points in the second half and shooting just 25 percent from the floor for the game, the Bucs relinquished an eight-point first half lead and looked on as Stetson rolled to a 67-46 win in the quarterfinals of the General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Conference Championships Thursday afternoon inside Hawkins Arena.
With the loss, ETSU ends the season an uncharacteristic 10-22 overall. Meanwhile, Stetson improved to 15-15 and will advance to Friday's tournament semifinals.
"We just didn't make shots, especially some at the rim in the first half, and then we couldn't make anything in the second half – even at the free throw line," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team has won two of the last four A-Sun Championship titles. "Give Stetson credit. They dominated every phase of the game in the second half. This has been a tough year and we've faced a lot of adversity, and all the way our guys have fought. These last two games we just didn't play well."
The Bucs ended the year with losses to USC Upstate and Stetson by a combined 53 points, and this is the first time since the 2005-06 season that the Bucs have exited a postseason tournament in the first round.
In what was a sloppy first half offensively for both teams, the Bucs missed multiple shots at the rim but still managed to lead by as many as eight points after a made 3-pointer from sophomore guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) with two minutes left in the half. However, Stetson responded at that point and closed the half with a 5-0 spurt to make it 24-21 at the break.
Before the intermission, ETSU shot just 25 percent from the floor but forced Stetson into 10 turnovers, which was the key to the Bucs' edge at halftime.
After the break, Stetson stayed aggressive on the offensive end and ultimately opened the half with another 13-1 run to take a 34-25 lead with just over 14 minutes left in the game. The Stetson lead remained at nine for the three minutes, but ETSU's scoring issues only continued and the Hatters closed out the game by outscoring the Bucs 28-19 the rest of the way to pick up the 21-point victory.
ETSU freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville) and senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) were the only Bucs to reach double figures in the game with 11 points each. Meanwhile, Stetson got a game-high 17 points from post Adam Pegg, along with 16 from guard Joel Naburgs and 13 from guard Willie Green.
Stetson dominated the rebound battle 43-30, while dishing out 14 assists to just five for the Bucs. Meanwhile, the Hatters shot 78 percent from the free throw line, while ETSU hit on just 48 percent of its shots from the charity stripe.
With the end of the 2012-13 season, ETSU fans can stay informed about the men's basketball program by visiting ETSUBucs.com and clicking on the men's hoops link.

ASHTABULA COUNTY, OH (WOIO) - A man was busted for heroin and his third drunk driving offense in Ashtabula County.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol was conducting motor vehicle inspection roadside checks on U.S. 20 on September 26.
Just before noon, a trooper flagged a 1992 Pontiac Firebird over for a random roadside inspection. During interaction with the driver, he admitted to not having a valid driver license.
The trooper then noticed a black case lying on the driver seat containing a hypodermic needle filled with heroin and a spoon with residue. During an administrative inventory of the vehicle, the trooper discovered a gram of methamphetamine on the vehicle floor board area.
The driver, Erich Dietrich, 26, of Ashtabula, was charged with possession of heroin and methamphetamine, possession drug instruments and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Dietrich was also charged with his third OVI offense.

Vacancies outnumber new jobs in Tenn. Department's budget
Under former Mayor Ron Littlefield, nearly three years went by without the department holding a police academy for cadets
By Beth Burger
Chattanooga Times Free Press
CHATTANOOGA — In the past, the Chattanooga Police Department has had as many as 120 detectives to investigate crimes ranging from theft to homicide, but now it has just a few more than 80 on the rolls.
Under former Mayor Ron Littlefield, nearly three years went by without the department holding a police academy for cadets. The priority shifted to patrol, the backbone of the department: Officers must answer calls for service, police Chief Bobby Dodd said.
"When you're pulling folks to deal with street-level crime or deal with calls for service, you're going to have to pull from investigations," Dodd said.
Mayor Andy Berke's proposed budget would add 40 officers, allowing for 20 more detectives to work cases. But that won't even fill the existing vacancies in the ranks, much less beef them up, department figures show.
As city officials were planning the 2014 budget, the department staffing was at 446 cops. In the last week, five have retired and five quit. In all, the city's human resources department counts 59 police officer vacancies.
When asked why the positions were unfilled, the following response was given in an email, "Our system can't determine how long they have been vacant. Could range from years to a few days. Reason for vacancies throughout city government vary."
Lacie Stone, spokeswoman for Berke, said, "That vacancy number fluctuates, contains old positions, etc., and it doesn't provide an accurate look at what's happening in the department -- it's just what is in our Oracle system."
Berke's proposed budget will authorize funding for 40 more officer positions.
"What's important is that the mayor has authorized and funded enough positions to bring Chattanooga [police] to an all-time high -- 486," Stone said.
As of this week, the department employed 436 sworn police officers, including 19 recent graduates from the police academy who are still with field training officers. That's the same number as the late 1990s, personnel records show.
There are 30 officers who became eligible for retirement this month. With tensions mounting over potential changes to the police and fire pension fund, it's unclear if they will leave.
"They are scared. I've got multiple phone calls. ... 'What are my numbers and when can I leave? If I was to walk away today, what can I take?'" said Terry Knowles, pension board member.
Berke said he has received some calls from officers and firefighters who would potentially be affected by any pension reform.
"I want the best method to resolve a situation that is, certainly, incredibly difficult," Berke said. "I value their service to our city. I appreciate what firefighters and police officers do. ...
"Everyone needs to understand I'm trying to protect a pension fund," Berke said. "If you're $150 million underfunded, we have to figure out a way through this. Ignoring the problem is not an option."
Asked whether eligible officers could leave, Dodd said, "We just hope and pray that doesn't happen. Assuming everything stays the same, getting to 486 [officers] will be the highest number of sworn officers we've ever had in the police department."
It could take nearly a year to recruit and train new officers.
With the recent departures, Dodd hopes to hire 20 experienced officers who already are certified to work as police officers in Tennessee. They could be ready to work in eight weeks after going through a shortened academy and field training program.
He plans to have a separate class of 30 cadets go through the normal 36-week training program.
Aside from adding 20 detectives, Dodd hopes to add another 10 positions to the crime suppression unit and 10 more to patrol in areas where there has been growth.
Gene O'Donnell, professor of law and police studies at John Jay School of Criminal Justice in New York, said it's how resources are used that really makes the difference. More police doesn't necessarily translate to lower crime rates across the board. However, it's generally accepted that more resources result in lowering violent crime, he said.
"It's not really the number of people they have. It's what they're doing and how they're doing it. That's really important," he said.
Aside from more officers, there are plans for the city to fund a federal prosecutor position to charge the most violent offenders using drug and gun laws to net them longer sentences. Berke also plans to roll out several programs targeting violent gang and drug dealers in the community beginning in 2014.

There is also a contingency plan to helicopter the body to Staples if there's an issue of safety.
We're also told approximately 100 people will attend the private memorial at Forest Lawn -- mostly family members. After the service the plan is to follow the body to Staples.

Election Day Dress
Added Apr 17, 2014
Austin, Texas, U...
I used Simplicity 6934 because of the bodice design. I had an election t-shirt that was too tight over my bust line, so I cut it up and used reclaimed Ikea sheets for the rest of the dress fabric. I discovered that this dress pattern is genius for preserving fun t-shirts that I don't want to lose! It was also a unique way to participate in my local political party events, but not have to look like everyone else. The dress itself is super comfortable and very flattering. I look forward to making another one later this year, but I'll use regular material for it.
Material Notes
I upcycled a t-shirt and old sheets from Ikea.

Live is never dull in the 'Burg. Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum knows that her boyfriend, Joe Morelli, would rather her job was a little more tame and domestic. Anything really would be acceptable that didn't involve guns, getting her car regularly blown up and being in close contact with the dangerously attractive Ranger, also a bounty hunter on the side. Stephanie lands herself with a teenage son of the 'Burg when his mother fails to make her court appearance and it isn't only Stephanie who is noticing that the kid looks a heck of a lot like Morelli. Distant cousins supposedly, and so trouble is taken to Morelli's doorstep when he agrees to keep an eye on the apprentice graffiti artist and junior gamer master.
In trying to locate Loretta the skipper, Stephanie makes contact with Loretta's unbalanced brother Dom, fresh out of the clink and supposedly in possession of certain stolen proceeds that she feels could help with Loretta's bonding fee. Dom still holds the family suspicion that Morelli could be sitting on dear departed Auntie Rose's fortune and is determined to get his piece of it. If that involves half the 'Burg fronting up with shovels to the house, then so be it. Meanwhile Stephanie has a high-profile customer to protect on her visit to Trenton who isn't averse to shining the loving light of cheap publicity a little more brightly on herself, caring little of how hard that will make poor Stephanie's life become.
Everything is thrown into the pie with FEARLESS FOURTEEN, with most of the supporting cast from previous novels poking their heads into the mayhem. This is comforting and familiar territory for the regular reader, and not at all a bad thing. Dear Stephanie's antics are pretty much the same as they always have been, and Evanovich remains a genius with the snap and sass of her character's life collisions. The everyday is hilarious and the stoic forward motion of Stephanie Plum when friends and foe alike go off on their own little tangents around her is something to be admired. From potato bombs to reluctant grooms (don't worry, this is not a spoiler), Evanovich finds something to work with in every situation and continues to do a sterling job in making the reader laugh at her cast, while adoring them also.
The character of Steph has had a rest from life changing decisions and is in a holding pattern here with FEARLESS FOURTEEN, making one wonder how much further this series can go. The Plum novels have all been brilliantly good fun and should go out on a bang rather than with a whimper. The laughs are a little less, the madcap begins to seem a bit repetitive and the hammering of the supporting characters little foibles is beginning to be a bit tiring. Every book in the series has been a fun diversion from more serious reads and they have earned their place in the affections of many who now just pick up each book to catch up on what Steph, Morelli and Ranger are up to.
Who can resist a novel that features a humping monkey, gamer grannies and a fast-food joint called "Cluck-in-A-Bucket"? Enjoy FEARLESS FOURTEEN.

December 10 – Christmas Gifts
What were your favorite gifts, both to receive and to give? Are there specific gift-giving traditions among your family or ancestors?
I don't recall having a favorite gift in either direction. My philosophy on gifts is that it should be something the person wants, not necessarily something they need. This means a vacuum cleaner is probably not a gift, but a snowblower might be. A razor is probably not a gift, but a scanner or tablet computer might be. An exception to this rule might be for wedding gifts, where the gift is probably best if it's both a want and a need.
My in-laws have a tradition where a random gift will show up with someone's name on it from "The Elf". It might be a gag gift, and in fact often is, but it's usually something that is also useful or decorative. The trick is, then, to try to guess who The Elf is. Not everyone gets a gift from The Elf, usually only one or two per year are found.

In your example sentence "pin down" means "define". I take "pin down" to mean "define". As Cambridge Dictionaries Online points out, "pin down" can also mean "discover exact details about something". I suppose if we discover exact details about something, then we can also say that we discover the definition of something.
Dictionary.com has this to say about "pin down":
pin down
To fix or establish clearly: was finally able to pin down the cause of the disease.
pin down
Fix or establish clearly, as in The firefighters finally were able to pin down the source of the odor. [Mid-1900s]
Here, it would appear that Dictionary.com understands "pin down" as I do in your example sentence.
pin down
v 1: define clearly; "I cannot narrow down the rules for this game"

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A judge acquitted a former Naval Academy football player on Thursday of sexually assaulting a drunken female midshipman, one of a number of sexual misconduct cases roiling the U.S. military.
Midshipman Joshua Tate, a senior from Nashville, Tennessee, had been accused of assaulting the 22-year-old woman at an alcohol-fueled off-campus party in April 2012.
Marine Colonel Daniel Daugherty found Tate not guilty of aggravated sexual assault after two days of testimony by more than a dozen witnesses at Washington's Navy Yard.
Asked by reporters how much of the trial had been motivated by the military wanting to show it was tough on sexual misconduct, Tate's attorney Jason Ehrenberg said: "All of it."
"That's the system we have. We protect alleged victims, but we don't protect alleged perpetrators," he said.
Tate stood at attention and showed no emotion while Daugherty read the verdict before a full courtroom. After the decision, he turned and spoke to his attorneys in a low voice, and walked away from the court building smiling.
His accuser was not present. Prosecutors declined to comment.
Daugherty said he would refer another charge against Tate, making false official statements, to the academy for discipline under the school's honor system.
Three U.S. Naval Academy football players were initially accused but Tate was the only one to be court-martialed. Charges against the other two were dropped.
The woman, also a senior at the elite service academy in Annapolis, Maryland, testified that she had been torn about cooperating with Navy investigators and had concealed from them how much alcohol she consumed at the party.
She conceded that she was too drunk to remember having sex and only learned about it through social media and classmates. Reuters does not report the names of sexual assault victims.
In his verdict, Daugherty said the woman had obviously been traumatized by comments her classmates posted on Facebook and Twitter, which he called "rude, disgusting and vulgar."
But her failure to remember the sexual encounter did not by itself prove she was incapacitated or did not consent to having sex with Tate, the judge said.
Robert Kelly, a former judge for the Marine Corps and Navy, said the Tate case underscored how commanders were free to order prosecution despite legal advice against it.
Vice Admiral Michael Miller, the Naval Academy superintendent, was urged by his legal counsel and a military judge not to proceed. He denied in a January hearing that he was under pressure to go ahead with prosecution.
A commander "is the one who makes the big bucks to make the hard call. He's the one who's in charge, and he's the one who has to live with the consequences," said Kelly, now an attorney with the Tully Rinckey law firm in Washington.
The Defense Department said in December that there were slightly more than 5,000 reports of sexual assaults across the armed forces in the fiscal year through October, up about 50 percent from the previous year.
President Barack Obama also in December approved reforms aimed at stemming the crisis. He urged graduating Naval Academy officers in May to stamp out sexual assault in their ranks.
Also on Thursday, a one-star U.S. Army general who had pleaded guilty to mistreating a junior female officer during an adulterous sexual affair was reprimanded by a military judge but avoided jail time in a rare court-martial of a top officer.

Currently, 37½ percent of oil and gas royalties derived from the Utah portion of the Navajo Nation are administered by the State of Utah for the benefit of the Utah Navajos. The State of Utah is the only state in the Nation administering a trust fund for the benefit of American Indians whose lands are within state boundaries.
"The State of Utah has worked to administer this fund in the best interest of Utah Navajos," said Governor Huntsman. "We are committed to helping the federal government and the Navajos find a more suitable way to distribute the royalties."
"The people of the Navajo Nation deserve to actively create their own future without the interference and oversight of the State," said House Minority Leader Brad King. "Congress will now have the opportunity to recreate the trust fund in a manner which recognizes their right to self-determination with respect to the Utah Navajo Trust Fund."
The Utah Navajos have sought to have a more active role in the distribution of the royalties and this would present that opportunity. Legislative leadership has committed to provide a way to make the transition process as seamless as possible for the beneficiaries.
"We have been locked into a uniquely awkward relationship since 1933 but I know it can be better," said Senate President John Valentine. "By resigning our stewardship we are inviting Congress, the Navajo Nation, and San Juan Navajos to create a new distribution mechanism for those royalties. We look forward to a new relationship with our citizens and friends on Navajo lands."
"The Utah Navajos should be in control of these royalties," said Senate Minority Leader Mike Dmitrich. "Our congressional delegation must create a vehicle to distribute these monies in a way that all of the Chapter Houses have input."
"We have a unique opportunity to support the creation of a more appropriate system that will assign the rights and responsibilities of the royalties to the beneficiaries," said Speaker Greg Curtis. "The commitments made by the trust fund will be fulfilled. We're hopeful the Navajos' best interests will be served by this change."

Writers Guild Realizing That SOPA Goes Too Far; Union Support For Censoring The Internet Begins To Crack
from the well,-look-at-that dept
On the House side, Keyser and Barrios met with Reps. Henry Waxman, Howard Berman, and Janice Hahn. They thanked Waxman for his strong support of Guild issues and discussed concerns with the recently introduced Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Because Berman is a co-sponsor of SOPA, the pair discussed their concerns with the bill's implications for competition and an open Internet. Although the WGAW strongly supports combating piracy, the competition, First Amendment, and due process concerns the bill creates must be addressed.It seems that the folks who represent content creators are recognizing that SOPA goes against their own best interests as well. By setting up a system that props up the gatekeepers, rather than encouraging new tools and services that help content creators directly, laws like SOPA don't actually help the creative community at all. It's nice to see that WGAW recognizes this, and don't be surprised if other groups of content creators start realizing the same thing pretty quickly.

ETSU has currently won 38 straight A-Sun matches and 47 straight contests played at home
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 18, 2010) - In a match that could very well decided how the Atlantic Sun Conference standings end up this season the 49th-ranked ETSU men's tennis team opens its two-match homestand with an 11 a.m. contest Friday against league rival 68th-ranked USC Upstate at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center on the ETSU campus.
The Bucs (7-6, 4-0 A-Sun) welcome the Spartans to the Tri-Cities after picking up three key victories in Florida over spring break. ETSU opened its weeklong trip in the Sunshine state with a close 4-3 victory over No. 48 UNC Wilmington March 9. The Bucs followed that win up with a pair of conference victories over FGCU (6-1) and A-Sun foe Stetson (5-2) last weekend.
Individually, senior Daniel Isaza (Medellin, Columbia) and junior Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia) lead the way for head coach Yaser Zaatini's club.
Isaza has been on fire lately as the Medellin, Columbia native clinched ETSU's winning points over the Seahawks and Hatters. After dropping his first set in both matches the Buc captain rallied back with determination taking the final two frames for the wins. Overall, Isaza has won his last four matches in singles action.
Teraz comes into the match as the only ranked singles player by the ITA in the A-Sun. The ETSU upperclassman currently sits at No. 97 with a 7-3 record at No. 1 singles his last 10 matches.
USC Upstate (11-5, 4-0 A-Sun) enters the match playing some of its best tennis of the season over the last three weeks. The Spartans have won nine out of their last 10 contests, including wins over regionally ranked Yale, Tuesday. Overall, Upstate has picked up one ranked win over No. 45 San Diego, while defeating former ranked team Elon, 5-2.
ETSU also defeated Elon (6-1) when the Phoenix was ranked No. 72 back on January 30.
Individually, for the Spartans senior Javier Tori leads Upstate into battle. Fresh off his fourth career A-Sun Player of the Year honor Wednesday, Tori - Upstate's all-time career singles and doubles leader - looks to extended his eight match winning streak at No. 3 singles.
Overall, ETSU is 2-0 all-time against the Spartans. Last season the Bucs defeated the Upstate 4-3 earning their fourth straight league championship in Spartanburg, S.C. In that match ETSU held a 3-0 advantage before Upstate stormed back to tie the contest at 3-3. Former senior Alex Ahlgren clinched the Bucs' win sweeping his final two sets 6-1.

"I'm sorry to disappoint," sighed the lady behind the host stand, "but we can in fact seat you right away."
She smiled, waiting for our reaction, pleased with herself.
Three of us had just stepped into The Delaunay, a popular brasserie in Central London. It was 8 o'clock on a Wednesday evening.
"We'll never get in," a local in our hungry threesome mumbled pessimistically. But the officious-looking doorman had actually smiled and bid us a good evening — I had hope.
Normally, trying to elbow one's way into a popular London restaurant during the preferred dinner hour is not what one might call a winning strategy. But this wasn't a normal day. This was toward the end of Week One of the Olympic Games. Central London was, shall we say, a bit quiet.
Arriving at the airport that morning, the newspapers were practically shrieking the news that London had become a ghost town. Amid the Games coverage in one of the more colorful tabs – who won what, who wuz robbed, who was caught on camera after having a bit too much to drink, who looked smashing in his or her uniform, etcetera – was a two-page, full-color spread detailing just how deserted Central London had become, and how it was basically curtains for the retail trade in the entire city if something urgent wasn't done to get people back in the streets and shopping.
Turns out – imagine! – the warnings had worked. Incessant tooting from the government's corner, pleading with people to work from home and stay off the already overloaded transport system in order to avoid catastrophe, meant that a visitor could hop on and off the Tube or bus system at will; train platforms were, at worst, typically rush-hour busy — and often far quieter. It was pretty great.
Of course, this entirely new type of doomsday scenario gave London, which adores a bit of drama, something new and different to moan about. In a sense, it had all worked out for the best.
Not that there was too much moaning — in fact, it's hard to remember a time when I've caught London in a better mood. Out at Olympic Park, the one place in town that felt crowded, the positivity was off the charts. Volunteers were practically hugging spectators as they entered, security was efficient and polite (the TSA might learn a thing or two from these guys, for real), a crew of mostly very perky young volunteers did an expert job of managing pedestrian traffic as it moved in waves through the 500-acre park, a mostly simple but spacious and pleasant place, featuring enough greenery to keep things from getting too oppressive.
Inside the venues, the atmosphere was nothing short of electric. So high on the whole experience were the British spectators, they couldn't stop cheering. At swimming qualifiers last Wednesday morning, inside the impressive, Zaha Hadid-designed aquatic center, I even caught a few Union Jack-clad fans shrieking support for the French. Then again, we were up in the rafters, so they might have been a bit confused. (I was informed, at one point, that one of the dots on the starting block was Michael Phelps. I wanted to believe.)
That was nothing compared to later in the evening, over at the Velodrome. There, the energy almost overwhelmed the space itself; approximately 6,000 spectators — a packed house — roared with the power of 24,000. Prime Minister David Cameron was there, doing the wave along with the rest of the crowd; the majority appeared to be keenly focused on ensuring that Team GB went home with whatever gold was up for grabs that night. The ladies were disqualified, sadly, but the men ran away with a world record, as Sir Chris Hoy and his crew cycled their way to a thundering victory. This, of course, brought everyone out of their seats and about two feet into the air; Princess Anne wandered down to the pit to hand out medals and everyone sang along to "God Save The Queen." You didn't have to give a damn about cycling or sports or any of it to be swept up in the moment.
Riding with the tide of tired, happy people streaming out of the park and down the steps to the Central Line platform at Stratford, I was thanked again and again for coming. Countless people I'd never met wanted to know what I'd seen that day, and did I have a good time. It was like running a gauntlet of Disney cast members. Here, however, it seemed as if everyone honestly wanted to know.
On the final turn into the Tube station, one last Games worker had his hand out, running back and forth through the crowd, high-fiving everyone he could get to.
"I love you all," he shouted earnestly through his official-issue megaphone. "I love you! Thank you so much!"
Riding the tube back into town, I found myself wishing New York had put in a better bid – it would probably do us some good to lighten up for a few weeks. It sure as hell looks good on London.

Baltimore Periodontics, Lasers, & Dental Implants
I am Dr. Moskowitz. I have a periodontal specialty practice in the Baltimore Maryland suburbs (see http://www.perio.org to see what my field does). My staff and I pride ourselves in providing 'state-of-the-art' technology (lasers) and advanced skills to patients in a warm, caring, yet professional environment. I was recently voted "Best of Baltimore" periodontist by my fellow general dentists. I would like the logo design for the practice to be utilized on my soon-to-be-developed website, stationary, correspondence, business cards, etc. I want it to convey comfort, soothing, professionalism, warmth, and advanced skills.
My target audience is broad and crosses multiple ethnic and economic backgrounds. They are mostly adults 30-75 yrs. old. Many baby boomers.
I would like you to create a logo design for my practice that will be utilized on my soon-to-be-developed website, stationary, correspondence, business cards, etc. I want it to convey comfort, soothing, professionalism, warmth, and advanced skills.
I would like the colors to be either earthy colors and/or soothing colors but no pastels or LOUD colors. Perhaps tan, light brown, sea green, or olive green, maybe periwinkle or blues or yellows BUT NO RED (my practice is surgically oriented and we like to avoid red colors). I plan to redecorate my practice with these colors and to develop the website to reflect these colors as well. My website will have nature images on it which reflect these colors as well.
I am flexible with the design but I was thinking of a sketched tooth, or teeth and implants (or half tooth and half implant in one image) in different boxes each with colored backgrounds - but like I said, I am flexible and open to options. BE CREATIVE, KEEP IT COMFORTING, SOOTHING, YET PROFESSIONAL AND REFLECTING OF OUR ADVANCED SKILLS.

TULSA, Okla. March 11, 2013 -- For a guy that finished in heart-breaking second place at the Bassmaster Classic, Brandon Palaniuk continues to be a winner. His latest post-Classic celebration comes from hauling home a $1,500 cash bonus as the highest eligible registered Classic participant in the BoatUS Angler "Weigh-to-Win" program.
"People ask me if BoatUS Angler is worth signing up for, and I tell them 'of course it is!'" said Brandon emphatically. "Not only are you getting towing you can trust, but the assurance of knowing you're dealing with people who care about getting you back on the water quickly when you have an issue."
When you sign-up for BoatUS Angler for $24, and add Trailer Assist unlimited on-the-road towing for $14, or unlimited on-the-water freshwater towing for $43, you have confidence knowing somebody will be there should you have a breakdown or find yourself stranded. And like Brandon, you'll become eligible to win cash as part of their Weigh-to-Win tournament bonus program.
"Fortunately, I haven't had any mechanical issues on the road or water since I've been part of the BoatUS Angler program, but I've seen others break down on the water and use the BoatUS tow program - they show-up quick and get you back to where you need to be," said Palaniuk, who is looking forward to Bassmaster Elite Series events at Lake Falcon for giant largemouth, and St. Clair for bruiser-sized smallmouth this season.
Whether you have a flat tire, run out of gas, burn up a trailer hub, have a dead cranking battery or have unexpected on-the-water issues all tournament anglers have worried about or experienced first hand, BoatUS Angler offers 24/7 dispatch of a tow truck, or one of the dozens of TowBoatUS response boats stationed on most all popular bass fisheries. And unlike other roadside assistance companies, BoatUS Angler makes service for your boat's trailer, not just your tow vehicle, a top priority.
With a marine Insurance program designed to fit the specific needs of anglers such as per incident tackle replacement coverage up to $5,000, all tournament fishermen should call 866-532-1829 for a free insurance quote, and no B.A.S.S., FLW, PAA or LBAA competitor should enter the 2013 tournament season without being a member of BoatUS Angler. To join and register for Weigh-to-Win go to www.BoatUSFishing.com.
About BoatUS Angler:
BoatUS Angler, a membership program from the nation's largest association of recreational boaters, offers services such as on-the-water towing for disabled fishing boats, roadside assistance for both boat trailers and tow vehicles, specialized fishing boat insurance, the "Weigh-to-Win" tournament cash program and money-saving benefits.

Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy presents the state budget for 2018-19 at Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru. Image source: IANS.
Karnataka budget: The new JD(S)-Congress coalition government on Thursday presented its first budget and promptly waived off farm loans totalling Rs 34,000 crore. While this came as a big relief for distressed farmers, other segments of society suffered multiple blows as Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy led government proposed higher levies on petrol, diesel, liquor and power. While the loan waiver will drain the treasury, the new levies will help replenish it as more revenue will flow in. Kumaraswamy, who holds the Finance portfolio, presented a Rs 2,13,734 crore budget.
Kumaraswamy, while presenting the budget for fiscal 2018-19, said, "I propose to waive farm loans totalling Rs 34,000 crore, with Rs 2 lakh per farmer family," .In some straight talk, Kumaraswamy, said he was increasing levies to generate more revenue so as to reduce the burden of Rs 34,000 crore resulting from farm loan waiver.
He added, "All crop loans defaulted by farmers up to December 31, 2017 are waived in the first stage. Only loans borrowed from district cooperative banks and state cooperatives are waived in the first stage."
Not just this, there was more good news for farmers as Kumaraswamy also proposed in the budget to allot Rs 6,500 crore for farmers to avail as new loans. This they can do after submitting a certificate from the department concerned that their loan arrears have been waived.
He added to the windfall for farmers by saying, "Farmers who repaid loans within the stipulated time will be entitled to fresh credit up to Rs 25,000 or repaid amount, whichever is less". The other segments of society should however, get set to feel the pinch over a higher tax outgo for purchases. The budget proposes to increase petrol price by Rs 1.14 per litre and diesel by Rs 1.12 per litre.
Kumaraswamy indicated the massive amounts of revenues he is targetting by the nature of the hikes - revealed the extent of the gain in monetary terms from the above move. The CM said, "I propose to increase tax on petrol and diesel by 2 per cent, (levy) additional excise duty on Indian made liquor brands (at) 4 per cent, tax on captive power (by) 20 paise per unit and motor vehicle tax on commercial vehicles (by) 50 per cent .
As such, the revised excise revenue target is now Rs 19,750 crore as against Rs 18,750 crore set in the provisional budget that was presented by the former Congress govt on February 16. The revised motor vehicle tax proposal will bring in another Rs 6,656 crore.
Tipplers buying spirits in the state are set for troubled times ahead. Kumaraswamy said, "I propose to increase the excise duty on Indian made foreign liquor (IMFL) by 4 per cent to raise additional revenue for meeting the budget expenditure".
Taxing energy was top on the list of Kumaraswamy presumably as he went on to announce a 20 paise per unit hike in power tariffs.
To add to the woes of the public, state-run oil marketing firms (OMCs) hiked fuel prices on Thursday too after almost a month of retaining a no-change policy.

Today, petrol in Bengaluru was priced at Rs 76.94 per litre and diesel Rs 68.47 per litre.

The Following Information Is Great For Tips About Bodybuilding !
Anyone can build their muscle if they try. You may not be aware that it is possible for you, but the methods that work for bodybuilders can work for you as well. You simply need to know the best techniques and proper technique. Read on achieving solid muscle growth!
Make sure you understand the best exercises for increasing muscle mass.Different exercises target different results; some may work on muscle development or toning.
Eating meat can help you build your muscles grow. Try to eat at least one gram of protein-rich meat for each pound that is on your body.
You need lots of protein if you are serious about building muscle mass. Protein is the most important building muscles.
Do not overlook the importance of carbohydrates in your muscle-building diet. Compare interest rates. Carbs are absolutely critical to provide you the energy you require for working out, and if you do not get enough, you will waste your protein on energy instead of building muscle.
Switch up your routine.If you aren't excited by your routine, it may get boring and you won't want to do it. Make sure that you do different pieces of equipment at the gym or taking advantage of different exercise classes.
Eat tons of protein to grow muscle. Protein is a chief building block of muscle, and if you don't get enough, your muscles will suffer. You should consume up to one protein gram per day depending on your weight.
Many people mistakenly increase protein they need in their diet at the beginning of their bodybuilding efforts.
Make sure that you are eating enough calories that your body needs. There are various online calculators that may help to determine caloric need when building muscle. Use these calculators, but don't forget these calories need to be healthy ones consisting of healthy carbs, proteins, and other nutrients to bulk up your muscles.
Try adding plyometric exercises to your routine. This type of exercise develops the fast-twitch muscle fibers responsible for stimulating muscle growth. Plyometrics are similar to ballistic movements since they require a certain amount of acceleration. For example, while doing plyometric push-ups, your hands should jump up off the floor, causing your body to lift up into the air.
If you want to bulk up, then concentrate on squatting, dead lifts and bench presses. These exercises yield maximum benefits fast and let you into shape quickly. You can fill in your routine with other exercises, but these three should really be at the core.
You can judge the effectiveness of a weight training routine is effective if you are becoming stronger from week to week. You will be able to increase in the amount of weight you lift over time. When you first begin working on your muscles, you should be able to lift about 5% more every few workouts. If you find that you are not having success, analyze what you are doing incorrectly. If you find yourself feeling more fatigued after your fitness routine, it is possible that you were not fully recovered.
Term Goals
Make sure that your near-term goals realistic. If your goals aren't realistic, you are only setting yourself up for disappointment and possibly an injury!You may surprise yourself and improve over the short-term goals you set for yourself.This may encourage you and will keep you to continue exercising.
Creatine is a good solution for you. This supplement increases your endurance and harder when use alongside a diet rich in proteins and carb-rich diet.
Also steer clear of alcohol, which is known to break down muscle tissue in excess volumes.
It is important to eat well while trying to build up your muscle.Your body needs certain nutrients to properly rebuild muscle fibers.
Creatine supplements have been shown to increase the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract. Be careful if you are currently taking any kind of supplement.
You should carefully practice each routine until you have mastered it.
Consume about 15 to 20 grams of a whey protein about 30 minutes prior to a strength training session. This can jump start the recovery of muscles so that it can decrease how much your muscles are used to fuel your workout and aid in muscle recovery.
Do not be tempted to take steroids!Steroids interfere with the body's production of natural hormones. Also, steroids can have a detrimental effect on the liver, decrease the good cholesterol in your body, and promote breast tissue growth in males.
You can do anything you set yourself to do, even building muscles. Use the advice in this article to build on the workout plan you are already following, and you will find that it is easy to keep it up. By using proper information and good techniques, you will hit your goals.

Travel Guide of Nuevo Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit for: Dreams Villamagna Nuevo Vallarta -- All-InclusiveNuevo Vallarta, Nayarit, Pacific Coast
Nuevo Vallarta Summary
- Beach is less crowded than those in Puerto Vallarta
- Modern, clean, and lively town
- Dozens of accommodation options for every budget
- Great surfing spots, plus a lagoon with calmer waters
- Scuba diving hot spot
- Several popular golf courses within a short drive
- Almost three miles of sandy beaches
- Large marina with outstanding services
- Dolphin, turtle and whale sightings are frequent
- Short drive from the airport
- Easy access to other regions in Riviera Nayarit
- Few local restaurants and shops
- Rougher waters than in other areas in Riviera Nayarit
- Traffic jams during rush hour
What It's Like
Nuevo Vallarta was developed in the 80s as a resort community just north of the Puerto Vallarta airport. The area is home to numerous hotels and luxurious vacation rentals, and it attracts thousands of visitors every year with its sandy beaches. To keep up with the community's increasing needs, restaurants and shops continue to spring up (although there are still fewer restaurants in this area than in others). There are a couple of golf courses, as well as tennis courts, a wonderful eco-park, and several spas. A water park is also popular among families.
On Banderas Bay, Nuevo Vallarta is somewhat less crowded than Puerto Vallarta (about 20 minutes to the south), despite its focus on tourism. This is perhaps due in part to the rougher waters (that are great for surfing) and the high temperatures and rainfall, which both reach greater extremes in the summer months than in other nearby destinations. Dolphins and turtles also enjoy the relative seclusion of the area -- dolphins can be spotted and turtles lay their eggs on the shore. Dozens of whales can be seen every year, as well, mostly between December and April, when the massive migrations from the north to the south take place.
Surrounded by water and home to hundreds of private yachts, the area is one of the better-off in Nayarit after posh Punta Mita. While other destinations in the region have a strong small-town vibe, Nuevo Vallarta is a modern, clean town with wide avenues lined by palm trees -- but it is also more densely populated, so traffic jams can be a problem, especially during rush hour. Starbucks and international food and retail chains can be found in the downtown area, mostly near the Convention Center.
Where to Stay
Most hotels in Nuevo Vallarta are self-contained, all-inclusive resorts right on the beach. However, several golf courses dot the outskirts of the town, and many hotels have been built around them, catering to golfers as well as to beachgoers who don't mind driving. The upside of this is that these resorts a little farther from the coast are usually quieter. The advantage of being on the beach is (aside from the beach itself) easy access to shops, restaurants and bars, as well as more hotels with ocean views.
Those looking to explore other towns in the region might want to stay as close to the main road as possible in order to minimize time spent in traffic.

Finding parking in downtown San Diego can be difficult, but what if there was an app for that?
The nonprofit Civic San Diego has announced plans to scout out a developer that could create a mobile application and website that would provide real-time parking information to those who visit, live and work in downtown San Diego.
Right now, CivicSD is publicly requesting proposals for the "Downtown Parking District Mobile Application" from any and all interested developers, including proposals from local firms and small businesses.
The deadline to submit a response is 4:30 p.m. on Apr. 24. For materials and instructions on submitting a proposal for the app, click here.
According to CivicSD, the mobile app and website must include a map of the downtown area, filtering tools and "real-time data and information related to on and off-street parking, general parking information, graphics and photos."
Ideally, the app will be compatible with multiple sources of data and provide GPS-enabled navigation to the parking destination.
The website will also include a map and filtering tools, just like the app.
The goal is to have the mobile app and website up and running by this summer.
As a consumer, what would you like to see included in this downtown parking mobile app? Leave your ideas in the comments below.
