Cabezon is a Spanish word for stubborn or big headed, and is probably the most appropriate term to describe this fish. He's a mean, obstinate looking critter and bears a striking resemblance to the scorpion fish. Don't worry though, because he doesn't have the venomous spines a scorpionfish possesses. They can be eaten and are a common game fish, but just don't eat their roe, because it's toxic to humans. If you're a fisherman who's bullheaded like this fish, then buy our awesome angler-friendly one piece.
If you are skilled enough to catch one of these awesome looking fish off the coast of the Pacific prepare for an awesome looking and picturesque fish. We appreciate all species of fish and this awesome type of Sculpin is no exception. This fishing Romper is an awesome way to show off a cool fish that some may not have ever heard of before.

Can Marvel-Disney Help Close the Comic Book Gender Gap?
Marvel/Disney & the Comics Gender Gap
In the wake of Disney's purchase of Marvel, there's plenty of speculation about what, if anything, Disney will want to change about the comics Marvel currently publishes. Much of the discussion focuses on whether Disney executives will crack down on freedoms at Marvel or the impact that this merger will have on upcoming Marvel movies, and there seems to be some fear that Disney will affect Marvel's focus, forcing it to change things that it already does very well.But for a moment, let's focus on something that Disney does very well, something that comics by and large, manga excluded, doesn't do very well: market to girls. Comics companies have tried repeatedly to market to preteen and teen girls - most recently with DC's well-intentioned, but now-canceled Minx line. Traditionally, trade paperbacks from DC's other non-superhero imprint Vertigo and title's like Joss Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" from Dark Horse sell relatively well with women. And Marvel and DC have both recently rolled out new series with female leads, more or less explicitly targeted to a female audience. Though "Marvel Divas" has met with mixed reviews from women readers, at least it showed the company's interest in expanding its readership. Could Disney provide a window into that so-far elusive audience? Disney, with animated and live-action feature films and television programming, has pretty much cornered the market on tween girls. "Hannah Montana". "High School Musical". "Enchanted". All Disney. And of course, the never-ending stream of animated Disney Princesses, from "Snow White" to the upcoming "Princess and the Frog", continue to have pop culture resonance. The success of the "Twilight" franchise and its spillover into the comics world via Comic-Con has taught fans and creators alike the power of an engaged — some would say obsessed — tween female fanbase. Of course, this has resulted in pushback from territorial fans who think that women have no place at Comic-Con, and endless jokes about squealing teenage girls. But in-between their squeals, teenage girls spend money, and comics' publishers hurting for readers in a recession understand that fact even if they've not done the greatest job as of yet tapping into that audience. Anne Elizabeth Moore, editor of "The Best American Comics" series, notes, "When comics started out they were actually read by equal or greater numbers of girls than boys." Like many comics fans, Moore grew up on the "X-Men", and she notes, "Marvel in particular has always had sort of a grander gender problem than Disney. But this isn't going to resolve it." Sean McKeever, writer of teen-girl-friendly comics like "Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane" and "Nomad: Girl Without a World" for Marvel, thinks Disney can help. "I think the entire industry could learn plenty about marketing new characters from Disney," he told Newsarama. "It's one of those areas in the medium where we're just so lax. We put out these new series with new creations and do little more than hype the first issue in the catalogs, show a preview online and do a few interviews. Really, to me, a big part of the reason new characters tend not to 'stick' in comics is because there's no excitement built around them." Jenn Pozner, media critic and director of Women In Media and News, takes an opposing view. "If we define marketing to girls well as producing a lot of money for the company, then Disney is the king of that," she says. "But if marketing to girls well means giving girls what they want and need in a way that doesn't exploit them, Disney doesn't know the first thing about girls." Moore agrees, saying, "Disney has always strayed into this dangerous Conan the Barbarian zone to sell things." Barbara Ehrenreich, an author, columnist, and noted Amercian feminist, took on the Disney Princesses recently, writing at The Nation.com: "Disney likes to think of the Princesses as role models, but what a sorry bunch of wusses they are. Typically, they spend much of their time in captivity or a coma, waking up only when a Prince comes along and kisses them. The most striking exception is Mulan, who dresses as a boy to fight in the army, but--like the other Princess of color, Pocahontas--she lacks full Princess status and does not warrant a line of tiaras and gowns. Otherwise the Princesses have no ambitions and no marketable skills, although both Snow White and Cinderella are good at housecleaning." Yet Hoi F. Cheu notes in Claudia A. Mitchell and Jacqueline Reid-Walsh's "Girl Culture: An Encyclopedia, Volume 1" that "Disney's tween girl culture, of course, is modified from its classic themes." No longer is it just about meeting Prince Charming and being rescued. Instead, the new Cinderellas have a social conscience, and, Cheu says, "glamour and success are not everything. . . . the star must address the ordinary lives of people." The new Disney glam, still feminine but more active and engaged, might be a decent fit for teenage superheroines as well, and perhaps the superheroines' tendency to do the rescuing themselves could be a good influence on those princesses in return. Recent Disney stars like Mulan have more in common with superheroes than with the passivity of Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. Still, Pozner notes, there is often far more complexity in Marvel comics characters, whether they are male or female, than allowed in the Disney universe. She worries that Disney might wind up dumbing down those characters, and points out that even through the recent changes in its characters' roles in life, Disney presents a limited range of possibilities for female characters, both physically and mentally. "They're not kid inventors, they're not skateboard queens," she points out. McKeever has some ideas about girl-oriented fare that he thinks would fit well with Disney and still maintain the integrity of Marvel characters. "What I'd really love to see is something like 'Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane', but where the protagonist is the superhero, and she has to deal with her life, her family, grades, money, friends, boys. . . and her secret life as well," says the writer. "I think Firestar would make a great character for that sort of series. Or, to once again nudge my upcoming book in everyone's face, 'Nomad'. Her quest for finding a place in a world she doesn't feel is her own is a universal coming-of-age experience." Though films like "Enchanted" and franchises like "Hannah Montana" rely on the star power of a live actress, the long-standing appeal of the best-known Disney characters is much like the long-standing appeal of comics characters. They have an image that is recognizable despite changes in artist, writer, and certainly the actors that have portrayed the characters on film. Disney is as much a merchandise marketing company as it is a producer of entertainment, and it has licensed several of its tween-girl properties for comics—Tokyopop created "Lizzie McGuire" comics, and Papercutz is creating "Disney Fairies" graphic novels. Moore notes that with the purchase of Marvel, Disney has closed in on even more of the teen market, and since Marvel's audience skews a bit older, they have a new inroad with that demographic. In addition, the marketing of Marvel-related products, whether in Disney's stores or elsewhere, will be easy. "Nobody's going to balk at Spider-Man being on a lunchbox." Dawn C. Chmielewski of the Los Angeles Times profiled The Disney Channel's Rich Ross in June, focusing on Ross's success on reaching the tween market. "They existed. They weren't programmed to," she quotes Ross saying of his biggest audience. She also notes that his latest ventures have been aimed at expanding that ferociously loyal fanbase by targeting boys. With a Marvel merger, will more Marvel-themed shows be on the way? McKeever would love to see more Marvel characters make it to the small screen. "Disney obviously has that outlet in terms of television and movies," he says. "But as we're finding out through success stories like "Iron Man" and "Smallville", the interest generally doesn't seem to filter down to the comic books." Still, the tween years are often when a person's entertainment preferences are shaped — many comic fans can trace their buying habits back to those years. If comics companies could get preteen girls hooked on comics, they could form a new fanbase that is just as loyal as the old one. The question is, can Disney help Marvel reach out to tween and teen girls, or is purchasing Marvel merely their effort to buy the audience that they've had trouble building for themselves?

How Well Do Banks Manage Their Reserves?
Eduardo Jallath-Coria, Tridas Mukhopadhyay, Amir Yaron
NBER Working Paper No. 9388
In this paper we investigate how well banks manage their reserves. The optimal policy takes into account expected foregone interest on excess reserves and penalty costs for going below required reserves. Using a unique panel data-set on daily clearing house settlements of a cross-section of Mexican banks we estimate the deposit uncertainty banks face, and in turn their optimal reserve behavior. The most important variables for forecasting the deposit uncertainty are the interbank fund-transfers of the day, certain calendar dates, and the interest differential between the money market rate and the discount rate - a measure reflecting the bank's opportunity cost of money holdings. For most banks the model's prediction accord relatively well with the observed reserve behavior of banks. The model produces reserves costs that are significantly smaller relative to the case when reserves are set via simple rule of thumb. Furthermore, alternative motives for holding reserves (such as liquidity and reputation effects) do not seem to be the explanation for why certain banks hold relatively large reserves.

Home Infertility Miscarriage and Loss Pregnancy after IF Women's Wellness Your Guide How it works EFT Resources Contact Us BLOG
Hi Jennifer,
Just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for your assistance ordering the First Trimester CD this morning! Your IVF CD was fantastic and really helped me relax during a very stressful time – I had borrowed it from my acupuncturist. I am looking forward to the next CD!
The general feeling of relaxation that each track gave me was wonderful. Each evening after my injections, I would relax for 20 minutes with the CD, letting my mind let go of the stress from the shots and focus on calm. I even brought the CD with me for my egg retrieval – I listened to it just before going under anesthesia – it helped me chill and relieve my apprehension. After the transfer, it helped me relax through the two week wait – that was the most stressful part of a previous cycle!
- Thanks again,

It takes initiative, persistence, motivation and adaptation to find the job you want – more often than not, it won't just fall in your lap!
The job hunt might not be an easy process. There'll be bumps, failures and near-misses along the way. But it's critical that you, as the one applying for work, actively push through the frustration you might feel.
Job hunting is a highly competitive process, and in the current fluctuating job market, it's up to you to make the most of the opportunities that come along. There are many great resources out there to help – in this book, and through your friends, family, lecturers, careers advisors and online – but they won't come to you. You need to be prepared to go out and actively find them yourself.
If you don't get that first job – or the second, fifth, even tenth – don't give up! You're not the only one who has struggled.
Remember these key responsibilities:
- Your contacts might be able to offer suggestions, but you are the one applying!
- Actively research organisations and opportunities. A bit of background knowledge on a company, its culture and working environment can be invaluable and may give you a clearer idea of whether it's a good fit for you.
Take advantage of the people around you for information
- Actively ask questions and network. Many people have gone through a similar job hunting process – get their advice!
Continually review and update your application
- If you're not getting the jobs you want, review your approach with the people around you.
- Revisit your résumé and application.
- Ask for feedback from employers on why you didn't make the cut.
It can take time
- From start to finish, the application process can be a long one. Government recruitment for a grad position can sometimes take three months or more, including interviews, assessment centres, security/background checks and formal offers being made.
- Corporate sector recruitment may also be lengthy, so remember to be patient.
Stay positive – each step will better arm you for the next application!

By Ai-Leen Lim
Of course you'd know if you were back in Malaysia. You just got off a 12-hour flight, your clothes cling to your skin and the taxi driver complains about GST, RM1,200 hairdos and the flip-flop policy on fare hikes. If the journey is a long one, you'd also discuss rising crime, hudud law and traffic jams. And why people are resorting to talking kittens.
Which is why you need to take a break, and a light-hearted look at what it means to be back in the country. Just for five minutes. You can return to the ludicrous, depressing headlines tomorrow.
10 signs you're back in Malaysia:
1. Everything—fruit, books, cakes, pirate DVDs—is wrapped in plastic. And there's a plastic bag for the plastic wrap. And the plastic bags are pink. Sometimes orange.
2. You do everything in a shopping mall. Extra-educate the kids. Get a hair cut. Exercise the kids. Pay bills. Vaccinate the cat. Learn tae kwan do. Oh, and buy stuff.
3. Actually, if you actually listen out for it, everyone says 'actually' a lot. Especially when they're giving their opinion on TV. The same goes for its Malay counterpart, 'sebenarnya.'
4. Drinks and cakes are multi-coloured and fluorescent. The brighter the better. Shocking pink. Marigold yellow. Brown with caterpillar green bits. Striped purple with embedded red beans. Even the names are colourful: take the Michael Jackson, a drink of soyabean milk mixed with black herbal jelly.
5. Fusion is not a fad here. East-west food combos are practically a tradition. Pandan kaya chocolate chip buns. Tom yam spaghetti. Coke with ginger. Rendang pizza. Cheese pratha.
6. Anything can be ta pau-ed (doggy-bagged). In plastic bags with a pink plastic bag to carry the plastic bags in.
7. People fight to pay the restaurant bill. And it's no longer down to who's got the quickest reflexes, nearest wallet and longest arm. Diehard payers have evolved sophisticated strategies, like the 'I'm just popping to the mensroom' tactic, with detour to the till.
Meanwhile, the restaurant manager presides over the contest, like a judge:
–She gave her credit card before you start eating, so she pay.
–Reservation in his name, so he pay.
–I cannot take your money, even though you give me credit card first. He my regular customer, so what he say, I follow. Sorry ah.
8. The English signs are hilarious:
–House breaking here Wednesday morning. Please contact police if you saw something.
–Premier Lover Plums. Born to be Tasty.
–Joy of Cook Non-Stick Sauce Pot.
–Stressed? Visit Malaysia to Distress.
9. When you give up your seat for an elderly person, they don't sit down immediately. They hover for a minute or two, while the seat cools. Fear of piles is big in these parts.
10. You don't know your relatives' legal names. They're Third Uncle or Mak Ngah or Second Cousin once removed, Father's Side. Even if your family has dispensed with tradition, you're still left with fragments like Big Onion Sister or Uncle Boy or Porky. Which makes will-making such a chore: you have to call Fourth Aunt to ask what Tommy's name is. And no, it's not Tommy.
Your younger relations may think they're doing you a favour by adopting Western names. But you're clueless, as they did it when you were away. So you still call Winston Ah Tat. And you wonder, who's this Chester Lim trying to friend you on Facebook.

home remodeling – Home remodeling projects can be enjoyable when you are doing them with someone you love. You can use the day as a bonding experience.
home remodeling – Doing it on your own can save you so much money. The advice you'll find in the following paragraphs will assist you in planning your project, letting you get everything you need to get started as soon as possible.
Decide which room in your home will be the focus of your first renovation project. There is no need to do everything at the same time. Choosing one room or project at a time makes sense financially as well. Plan your project beforehand and look for good deals on prices. Smart planning can be a great way to realize savings while also making your home better.
A great way to save money on home upgrades is to comparison shop to find the best deals. For example, quality home flooring can be expensive, but if you shop around, you should be able to find the flooring in your price range. There are bargain places and discount supply stores that will help.
Take care not to underestimate the amount of work involved in any home improvement project, before you begin. Make a comprehensive list of tasks you need to complete. It is also wise to obtain another opinion to ensure that you did not miss anything. By knowing everything you have to do, you can save tons of money.
When doing any projects that are near or involve a gas line, it is imperative that you shut the line down before beginning. Although your gas is shut-off, it is still important to use extreme caution when working around gas lines. Don't cause a gas explosion or otherwise injure yourself due to carelessness.
Use your outdoor space. Your backyard can be an attractive, cozy addition to your living space. It will be perfect for relaxing or throwing a party with friends and family.
It is inevitable that chair cushions will flatten with use. However, you can breathe new life into those flattened cushions with a a little sunshine. The sun drys out the stuffing in the cushion and restores the bounce. Makes sure to turn the cushion over, but do not leave it in the sun too long because the fabric color can fade.
If you decide to renovate a kitchen or bath, be sure to substitute old sheet rock with drywall specifically made to resist water. Water resistant wall board, also referred to as "green board" to contractors, is better able to withstand wetness and humidity. Additionally, the material is treated with a special chemical that can inhibit the growth of mold, a common household allergen and toxin.
You should look for home improvements that will last when you are planning them. This is a design philosophy based on the homeowners own aging process in the home. Whether you plan or selling the house or keeping it for the foreseeable future, age-in-place is always a worthwhile thing to consider.
You should always tackle those home improvement repair projects first. Sometimes it seems much easier to turn a blind eye to the issue. It's important not to do this! Because the various working systems in your home are interconnected, it is easy for problems to spread quickly. Before you know it, your little problem has snowballed out of control.
Air conditioners are bulky by nature, but they are a necessary evil on hot summer days. Wooden trellises or a length of lattice be great to provide camouflage for your unsightly AC unit. You can also use pampas grass or other ornamental yard grasses, do not plant them too closely.
Do you want to add some sophistication to your home but are low on funds? A door bell replacement can add a bit of style and grace to a home. Completing this small project will give your front door an entirely new atmosphere.
Increase your living area. Consider a play room for the kids or a den for the entire family. Not only does this add value, but also makes your home comfortable. Do this when you've got the money for home improvement.
Turn off all water before beginning any project involving or near the pipes. This can create a huge mess if you leave it running.
Once you know you want to stain your deck, you will be faced with the chore of figuring out which stain to use. Some available options are semi-transparent stains, clear, oil-based, solid color and toners. Each have their own advantages and disadvantages, do your research and find the right one for you.
You can now begin your project with a good plan. It might be a lot of hard work, but when you work with someone else, it'll be even more fun to see the results. The two of you can stand back and admire your handiwork any time you like.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is derived from the techniques of stereotactic radiosurgery used to treat lesions in the brain and spine. It combines multiple finely collimated radiation beams and stereotaxy to deliver a high dose of radiation to an extracranial target in the body in a single dose or a few fractions.
This review provides a broad overview of the current state of SBRT for solid malignant tumors. Reviewers identified a total of 124 relevant studies. To our knowledge, no published comparative studies address the relative effectiveness and safety of SBRT versus other forms of external-beam radiation therapy. Stereotactic body radiation therapy seems to be widely diffused as a treatment of various types of cancer, although most studies have focused only on its use for treating thoracic tumors.
Comparative studies are needed to provide evidence that the theoretical advantages of SBRT over other radiation therapies actually occur in the clinical setting; this area is currently being studied in only 1 small trial.
Advances in planning and delivering radiation treatment have led to greater interest and capabilities to treat smaller and hard-to-target tumors while reducing treatment time.
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is typically delivered in 1 to 5 fractions, with a typical total dose of 20 to 60 Gy.
Stereotactic body radiation therapy seems to be widely used for treating various types of cancer, although most studies have focused only on its use to treat thoracic tumors. Fewer than 10 studies each for tumors of the pancreas, liver, colon, uterus, pelvis, sacrum, kidney, and prostate were found in this technical brief.
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine Task Group on SBRT has emphasized the importance of having well-trained and dedicated staff for providing SBRT in a safe environment.
No published comparative studies address the relative effectiveness and safety of SBRT versus other forms of external-beam radiation therapy. Only 1 small, ongoing trial is making such a comparison.
Comparative studies are needed to provide evidence that the theoretical advantages of SBRT over other radiotherapies actually occur in the clinical setting.
Future studies may help to determine the optimal number of radiation fractions, minimum and maximum doses per fraction, maximum number and diameter of lesions for various locations, and radiobiological explanations for the efficacy of SBRT.
The system incorporates a high-definition, 120-leaf multileaf collimator; robotic couch; cone-beam computed tomography; and stereoradiograph target–verification system. (Photo courtesy of Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, California. All rights reserved.)

Like many who go into education, Luvelle Brown draws inspiration from his mother, who was a teaching assistant for 46 years. It is what propelled him into a career as a teacher, assistant principal, principal, central office administrator, and, since 2011, superintendent of New York's Ithaca City School District.
"My passion for teaching and learning has developed over a lifetime of watching the positive impact my mother has had on several generations of young learners," says Brown, whose district is home to Cornell University, Ithaca College, and other higher education institutions.
As superintendent, Brown is "committed to cultivating a culture of love that is patient, kind, trusting, unselfish, forgiving, dedicated, and truthful." These "love principles," as he calls them, are the backbone of a community-wide strategic planning process that resulted in the district's vision of "6000+ Thinkers" and the mission of "Engage. Educate. Empower."
Ithaca's initiatives are based on systems thinking. They include integrating thinking skills in every classroom, design and implementation of transdisciplinary curriculum units, redesign of learning spaces, and technology initiatives that include game-based learning, innovative uses of social media, and a one-to-one mobile device implementation.
Brown is quick to point to Ithaca's successes: a graduation rate that has grown from 78 to 94 percent in six years; a 63 percent decrease in discipline referrals; an 8 percent increase in overall attendance and in enrollment and diversity in higher level courses; and a 6 percent increase in students reading on grade level in grades K-5. The district also was placed on The College Board's Advanced Placement Honor Roll and has been named as one of the best communities for music education by the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation.
The list goes on and on. And Brown says it's attributable to one thing: a culture of love.

Major wake-up call
I have had one rough week! It started Sunday morning and all goes back to Sunday morning the more I think about it! Sunday morning's sermon was entitled, "Refocusing On Our Focus". I'll get back to that in a minute. I'm not going to go into every detail about my week, just the major points. I guess it all started last Monday when I thought I was going to have a date to my cousin's wedding this past Saturday. I was talking to a guy I work with since September and we did somethings that I have to admit are not something to be proud of to some it up in a nutshell. He had to work Saturday morning, like he does every Saturday morning and couldn't go with me to the wedding. It worked out for the best that he didn't go, because it was just me, my mom, and grandmother in the car on Saturday. He would have been the only guy in the car. Anyway, I texted him Monday night and let him know what time we were leaving Saturday morning. We were leaving at 9 and he didn't get off until 10:30. The wedding was in Roanoke Rapids, almost 4 hours away, including the distance from here to Little Washington to pick up my grandmother. He got mad at me and didn't want to talk to me anymore, because he couldn't go. He started texting me again on Wednesday. He called me Saturday while I was at the reception and I missed his call. I texted him a couple of times on the way to the wedding. I had my phone on silent during the wedding and the reception, so it wouldn't interrupt anything. Friday night, I went to work and another guy called me at work for 2 hours straight every 5 minutes. I met this guy on Match.com mobile about 2 years ago and have changed my cell phone number at least 3 times because of him! We called the police on him and he talked to the police officer like it was a game! The police officer did a search on his name and address and neither one came up and nothing close to it. He's either not using his real name or made up his address. I didn't get much sleep that night after work. I was a nervous wreck! I wasn't completely myself at the wedding on Saturday. I talked to people I went to school with at RBC and wanted to say a lot more than I did, but I was so tired that I was thinking more than I was talking! On the way back to my grandmother's house, my music minister called my mom and asked if I would run the computer the next morning for the worship service and I told him I would. I usually like to go to praise team practice on Wednesday night and be well prepared. I asked him to put the music by the computer for me while I was on the phone with him. I knew that I would have to do the songs and the sermon during Sunday School the next morning, so I knew I was going to be a nervous wreck again. I didn't sleep well that night and still went to bed early. I got to church Sunday morning and the sermon notes were nowhere to be found at the computer. Luckily, the minister was a few feet away from me that I could ask him where they were and he told me he would print out another copy for me! While he was gone, I started entering the songs. Thankfully we were doing songs that I knew were in SongShow, the program we use, and I wouldn't have to look very hard for them! A few of the songs were even saved with backgrounds already, another plus! I had to set only a few backgrounds. I had most of the sermon done up until the last slide before the service started. I was able to finish it during meet and greet time after the first 2 songs. I was behind a verse on the first song and one of the elders came back to me and said, "Having trouble keeping up?" I just smiled and said, "I have it!" He was more concerned about the thermostat that anything else. I was trying to finish the sermon during the first song. It came time for the sermon and was going through the sermon when I realized I had one of the major points wrong. His points were: "Forget Your Past, Focus on Your Priorities, & Function in the Present". I had typed Forget Your Priorities and caught it before I flashed it on the screen. I actually skipped that slide! He had a summary slide at the end and I had to fix that, too! LOL My mom came back home during Sunday School, because she didn't have anyone show up for her class and my stepdad has been sick with pneumonia sick last Monday. She found someone to bring me home before she left. I went through the afternoon and got a nap before work and overslept, I forgot to set my alarm, thus I was late to work, only by a couple of minutes. I had a better night at work that night and didn't hear from "my guy" until just before I went to work Sunday afternoon. He was busy watchin football all afternoon. We were going to spend New Year's Eve together. We were going to meet at the gas station at the entrance to my subdivision to buy snacks for the night or the 4 hours that he would have been here. He doesn't drive a vehicle, he rides a bike, is why we would have met at the store. Anyway, we were going to watch Dark Knight and then watch the New Year's festivities on TV. I went to work Tuesday night and told people after work my plans for New Year's Eve. A woman I work with that is known to spread gossip went back into working the next morning and rubbed it in his face, so to speak, that she knew about our plans. He got mad and sent me a text at 8:30 telling me that he didn't appreciate me opening my big mouth and telling our plans. I texted him back and told him that she was backstabbing me and not to listen to her. The longer I laid in bed thinking about her backstabbing me the madder I got. I got so mad that I cried! I started texting a friend and was pouring my heart out to her, but was thinking evil stuff and she was comforting me through her texts. It's amazing how much texting can help when you really need someone but don't want to speak or can't speak in my case since I was crying so hard! I finally stopped crying and stopped blowing up my friend's phone! I got some sleep again finally! He got off work at 10:30 and called me at 10:41 and I missed his call. I was dreaming he had texted me or someone texted me (I'm trying to ask you some questions) right before I woke up and saw I had missed his call. God may have been speaking to me and I thought I saw it in my phone, but it never was, I looked! I had my ringer turned down and forgot to turn it back up before I went to bed. I tried calling him back and he wouldn't answer. Finally, he texts me and tells me to stop textin and calling me or he was going to call the police on me! So, I do. I start texting my friend again and tell her what he said and she was just as surprised as I was. I finally get up and go into the kitchen where my stepdad was and tell him about my morning. I was mad! My mom came home from lunch and I told her the same thing. He told me that it's not good to date anyone you work with. We never were dating, we were just talking. My mom advised me to never talk to him again and if he tried to text me again just ignore him. I got through yesterday afternoon and last night and didn't hear from him. I worked on scrapbook pages of my brother Tyler's 1st birthday and watched Shrek 2 and the Rockin New Year's Eve show on ABC up until 2am. I went to bed, cuz I was exhausted! I got up this morning to watch the Tournament of Roses parade and was fixing my breakfast and "he" texted me and asked what I ended up doing last night. I didn't respond. I went through the day, took a nap around 12:30, and didn't hear from him again until around 7something. So, I texted the friend that I cried to yesterday morning to ask her to tell him to leave me alone. He got mad because I did that. I wasn't going to stoop to his level and give into him and that's exactly what would have happened if I responded to him. I need to wrap up this blog, because it is getting late and I need to get some rest. I talked to a college roommate on the phone tonight and she got me thinking some about my priorities. I haven't talked to her on the phone in a couple of years. I sent her and several others a text at 12 to wish them a happy new year. Then I went back to texting another friend and ended up pouring my heart out to her about what I have learned in the past week. I have learned that I need to start standing up for myself and not let others knock me down. I have also learned that I need to think about my priorities and decide which ones I need to stress more emphasis on. If I keep hanging around the wrong guys it won't do me any good to be the Christian example that I'm supposed to be. I have been thinking about this past Sunday's sermon all week without realizing it. I need to learn to "Forget my Past"- forget my mistakes, repent, learn from them, and move on. I'm beginning to "Focus on my Priorities" and think more about them. I also have to learn to stop procrastinating in my schooling and a lot of other things to "Function in the Present". Little did I know Sunday morning that this sermon would be lived out through me this week! I hope I didn't confuse anyone with this by not naming any names. I thought it would be best.

Whose Story Is It, Anyway?
By now, you may have been able to fathom that the primary function of the Breaking News Desk is to deal with -- yes, you guessed it -- breaking news. I once had a calculus teacher who, when he thought he'd made some complicated concept crystal-clear, would say, "So, the question becomes, what color is the little red schoolhouse?"
Unlike the world of higher mathematics, the little schoolhouse isn't always red at CNBC, and the Breaking News Desk doesn't always deal with "oh-my-gosh-get-it-on-NOW!" types of stories.
One of my responsibilities is to write the one-minute CNBC.com Bizwire segments that air at the top of the second hours of "Morning Call" and "Power Lunch," respectively. The most difficult task in these segments is not the writing or the production elements -- it's making sure a story is not going to be included in one of the market reporter segments, which are done much closer to actual airtime than a show's overall rundown.

I am a quack. Seriously. I created this blog about running and I have yet to set out on a run this week. But it's all good. I plan on going home again tonight, putting on my favorite t-shirt, warm pj pants, and snuggling up with my husband who plans on running away for a week (hunting camp). Speaking of the t-shirt… I LOVE this shirt.
Considering UW is my alma-mater… and this shirt just has a coolness factor. It's soft. It fits me perfectly. And I basically wear it every night to bed when it is not in the wash. That is not an exaggeration. Sometimes I wear it out in public too, and for some reason, it causes people to ask me about Wyoming. ALL. THE. TIME. I don't mind.
Speaking of Wyoming… it looks like Wyoming outside today. Although this is the kind of snow storm Wyoming gets in July. It is small and whimpy.
|The guy in the middle is from Wyoming
Back to running…I planned out my next three runs this morning while I was taking a shower (it's a talent I have—planning my life while showering) . So hold me accountable would ya?? I am hoping to do my favorite loop tomorrow.. four miles from my house. Great views. I sound like a commercial for a real estate company. Anyway…. I'll try to take pictures.

The Socceroos' Generation Next is set to become Generation Now at the Asian Cup after the withdrawals of experienced defender Scott Chipperfield and midfielder Josip Skoko.
Ahead of the 23-man Socceroos squad being named tomorrow, first choice left-back Chipperfield has pulled out to remain at home with his pregnant wife, who is due to give birth around the time of the tournament.
Skoko has also declared himself unavailable, as well as ruling himself out of the Socceroos' 2010 World Cup campaign as he inches towards international retirement.
Skoko, 31, said his decision to miss the Asian Cup was made primarily to concentrate on club soccer as he hammers out a new contract with his English Premier League side Wigan.
But he admitted his failure to get any game time for the Socceroos at the World Cup last year had influenced his decision.
"Obviously I wouldn't like to go to the Asian Cup and the same thing happen (not playing),'' Skoko said.
"That's not the main reason ... but it wasn't my proudest moment not getting a run (at the World Cup). It was very disappointing for me.''
Skoko, capped 50 times for his country, said he was keen to play at least once more for the national team before any retirement from international football.
Skoko has earmarked the Socceroos-Argentina clash in Melbourne on September 11 as a match he would love to be involved in, and could well decide to make it his international swansong.
National coach Graham Arnold will name his Asian Cup squad tomorrow, with Australia's first group match against Oman on July 8 in Bangkok.
Skoko's unavailability should shore up a spot for young Italian-based midfielder Carl Valeri, who impressed in a holding role in the 2-1 loss to Uruguay in Sydney last weekend.
Chipperfield's absence is likely to mean teenager Matthew Spiranovic is named in the squad, with Polish-based Michael Thwaite set to be given first opportunity to start on the left side of defence against Oman.
Conjecture still remains over several places in the squad, including the third goalkeeper's spot which may go to Olyroo Danny Vukovic.
Also Arnold may decide to take an extra midfielder rather than a forward, with soon-to-be Celtic striker Scott McDonald, Melbourne Victory target man Danny Allsopp and Newcastle Jets attacking midfielder Nick Carle all vying for selection.
Socceroos midfielder Tim Cahill has urged Arnold not to be afraid to round out his squad with A-League players and fringe internationals.
"Danny Allsopp, Nicky Carle, Ryan Griffiths, Michael Beauchamp, Matthew Spiranovic, Brett Holman, Scotty McDonald - all the youngsters are awesome ... this is exactly what we wanted,'' Cahill said in Sydney today.
"Against Uruguay people were saying we were going to struggle with our youngsters. The way I saw it I didn't think so.
"It's really important (to blood youngsters during the Asian Cup) - they need this experience.''
Arnold will also put seven players on stand-by in case of injury ahead of the tournament.
Possible Socceroos' Asian Cup squad:
Goalkeepers: Mark Schwarzer, Brad Jones, Danny Vukovic.
Defenders: Lucas Neill, Brett Emerton, Michael Beauchamp, Michael Thwaite, Mark Milligan, Patrick Kisnorbo, Matthew Spiranovic.
Midfielders: Mark Bresciano, Harry Kewell, Tim Cahill, Vince Grella, Mile Sterjovski, Luke Wilkshire, Jason Culina, Carl Valeri, Nick Carle.
Forwards: Mark Viduka, John Aloisi, Archie Thompson, Brett Holman.

Does your eczema give you the feeling of insecurity? You shouldn't worry. There is a natural solution that can treat so many types of skin conditions including eczema.
So what are the benefits of vinegar against eczema?
Vinegar is rich in so many types of helpful acids including lactic acid, acetic and malic acid. All of them have powerful antifungal and antibacterial properties. They help in fighting skin infections, itchiness, and inflammation. They also help giving relief from dry skin.
Vinegar has beta-carotene that is beneficial in cell renewal.
The potassium found in vinegar is also beneficial in balancing the pH of your skin. It is also great in fighting allergies.
There are so many essential vitamins and minerals present in vinegar. Some of them include potassium, sodium, pectin, iron, magnesium, sulphur, calcium, and phosphorus. They help in making your imbue system stronger, and also in controlling eczema.
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is also high in fiber. It plays an important role in removing toxins, which cause eczema, from your body.
We will give you 5 benefits of washing your face with apple cider vinegar:
The benefits of apple cider vinegar go beyond the treatment of eczema.
ACV can make your skin feel both refreshed and clean too.
Below we have provided 5 benefits of washing your face regularly with ACV.
But we would like to warn you that you shouldn't use full-strength apple cider vinegar for any use on your face. It is too strong and can easily cause burn. So you should be using only diluted mixture with 50 percent ACV and 50 percent water.
Make sure that you have tried the solution first somewhere on your skin and ensured that it's safe and doesn't cause any burn. Remember, some people can also be sensitive to it. So you should know this before you use ACV on your face.
Benefits of Washing Your Face with Apple Cider Vinegar
So here are the 5 benefits:
1. Reducing Age Spots
Wash your face everyday using ACV and you will be amazed to see that your age spots have reduced. Vinegar has alpha hydroxyl acids which are beneficial in removing dead skin. These acids also help in revealing your healthy and lively new skin.
Even while you are washing your face with ACV, you should dab a little bit on cotton ball to apply on the age spots. Leave it for 30 minutes after application before rising your face using cool water. Then pat dry the skin.
It is recommended to repeat this 2 times every day for up to 6 weeks. You are sure to be amazed by the results.
2. Get Rid of Pimples, Acne & Blemishes
Apple cider vinegar can be the perfect alternative for commercial acne creams too. Its acne-fighting benefits come from malic acid. This acid is formed during its preparation. Because of this acid it gets its powerful antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal benefits. It kills bacteria and prevents pimple formation.
3. Maintaining Skin Balance
ACV helps remove oil from skin. This property also helps in balancing your skin's pH levels and prevent it from becoming excessively dry or oily. This property comes from its power to balance sebum production. You should use ACV to rinse your face every day to maintain this balance.
4. Anti-Wrinkle Benefits
When you use diluted ACV face wash it will also help in minimizing wrinkles and face lines. It is easy to use it. Take diluted ACV and soak a cotton pad/ cloth and dab it on the skin wherever you have wrinkles and face lines. Then rinse the area using warm water before pat drying.
5. Removing Toxins
Toxins on your face can cause so many types of skin problems. ACV helps in washing away toxins from the skin. This will giving you clean and youthful skin that glows naturally.
Now that you know the 5 benefits of ACV for your face, you should learn how to use it.
Using Apple Cider Vinegar for Eczema
You can use ACV along with other ingredients for treating eczema. You can use ingredients which are readily available in your kitchen. The following methods are easy and also cost-effective.
1. Apple Cider Vinegar Diluted in Water
As already mentioned, ACV has antibacterial and antifungal properties. It gives you immediate relief when you apply it on the skin area that's affected by eczema.
Get the following ingredients:
– Apple cider vinegar – 2 teaspoons
– Water – 1 cup
– Cotton balls – 3
You will also need a small bowl.
– Take the bowl and mix ACV and water in it
– Take the cotton swab and apply this solution using it on the affected area
– You should repeat the remedy until the eczema is fully cleared
Note: – In case of sensitive skin, you should mix 1teaspoon ACV in half cup of water.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar Bath
Vinegar bath has also been found to be beneficial in the treatment of eczema.
Get the following ingredients:
– Apple cider vinegar – half cup
– Moisturizer
You will also need a bathtub.
– Add apple cider vinegar into the bath water
– Get into it and soak your body for 15 minutes
– Get out of the water and pat dry using clean towel

Repeat daily until the eczema is treated.
You can also add coconut oil into the bath water for additional benefits.
3. Oral Use of ACV
You can also take ACV orally. It will help in boosting the immune system. This will play an important role in preventing eczema from reoccurring. Make sure that the ACV is diluted before you use it orally.
You will need the following ingredients:
– ACV – 1 teaspoon
– Water – 1 cup
– Take the ACV and dilute it in 1 cup water and drink it
– Repeat use 2-3 times everyday to treat eczema and for stronger immune system
4. Use ACV with Baking Soda
You will need the following ingredients:
– Apple cider vinegar – 2 teaspoons
– Baking soda – 1/4 teaspoon
– Water – 1 cup
– Honey – 1 teaspoon (optional)
– Take 1 teaspoon of ACV and mix with the baking soda in 1 cup water
– Stir well and drink it daily
Drink daily until the eczema is gone. Honey can be added for taste and its other benefits.
5. ACV & Honey
The mixture of ACV and honey is a powerful combination for the treatment of eczema. The benefits of honey for different skin diseases are well known. If you apply it on the affected area, it is going to give you relief from both irritation and inflammation. It also has antibacterial properties which are beneficial in destroying bad bacteria.
Get the following ingredients:
– ACV – 2 teaspoon
– Honey – 1 teaspoon
– Water – 1 glass
– Add both the vinegar and honey into the glass of water
– Mix well and drink
– Drink it 3 times a day along with the meals
Repeat until your eczema is gone.
Valuable Tips for Best Results
You should also follow these tips to get the best results from ACV treatment for eczema:
– Make sure that you are not allergic to ACV. A patch test can tell you this. Apply small amount of apple cider vinegar on your skin and wait for 60 seconds. Check if your skin reacts or not.
– ACV should always be diluted before it is used topically or orally. It is quite strong and is capable of causing burning sensation when used without diluting.
– Don't use strong soaps or any type of perfumes when you use ACV. Otherwise, it can cause irritation or even cause additional damage to skin.
– It is important to keep your skin moisturized regularly. Remember, dry skin is capable of worsening eczema.
– There are some foods that can worsen your eczema. Examples include soy, milk, peanuts, fish and eggs. So avoid them.
– Don't take apple cider vinegar orally if you have peptic ulcer, heart burn or diabetes. ACV is acidic and is capable of causing irritation.
– Make sure to consult your doctor if you are pregnant. There have been rare cases where apple cider vinegar has been found to be the cause behind complications in pregnancy.

KUDAT: The Tun Mustapha Marine Park (TMP) here will be a beacon of tourism in the years to come, Sabah Special Task Minister Datuk Teo Chee Kang said today.
Launching the park's first-year anniversary celebration, Teo said that TMP's appeal lies in its white sandy beaches, mysterious caves and rich marine life, courtesy of its strategic location within the Coral Triangle.
He said he believes it is high time for private companies to start taking advantage of the park's potential.
"As with many industries, the government only facilitates tourism, while it is the private sector that drives it.
"So, I encourage all players to come in and work together to develop the marine park into a premier destination not just in Malaysia, but on an international level," he said.
The anniversary also coincides with the conclusion of a year-long research expedition into the park area by various agencies and universities, including the University of Queensland, Australia.
The expedition, involving 110 researchers, aimed to investigate the park's touristic potential, unique flora and fauna, and socioeconomic impact.
"Unlike other parks, such as Kinabalu Park, TMP is not closed off to outsiders – we must account for the locals who make a living on the islands and in waters throughout the park.
"Therefore, in managing this park, we must consider its impact on the locals' socioeconomic situation," explained Teo, adding that certain zones have been set up to ensure that locals are able to continue fishing in a sustainable manner.
Launched last year, the TMP is Malaysia's biggest marine park at 898,762.76 hectares.
In addition to attractions like the scenic islands of Banggi, Balambangan and Malawali, the park is home to a variety of unique, native species of marine life which are protected by the TMP, in partnership with Sabah Parks and agencies such as the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA).

There are so many beach weddings where I see the bride or even bridesmaids walking out in these beautiful dresses and they have either major tan lines or worse really bad sunburns. Everyone always trys to get out day the before to catch some extra rays and not realizing how strong the sun can be, esp. if you are from out of town, you end up with a nice red sunburn.
Now there are great solutions with spray tanning that is readily available depending on the companies that service your area. They can either fix your sunburn by covering and/or those lovely tan lines. Best yet, don't even go in the sun and let them come day before and give you a nice glow. Some even offer the 30 min teeth whitening. Believe me ladies, hiring a company like this compared to having a nice sunburn is worth it all. Remember that sunburn will stay with you through your wedding night and your honeymoon providing the wrong kind of heat.

Ft. Eustis Bridge Repair
Date: 24 Jan 2015
Category: Upper Warwick Corridor
This crucial connector road bridge replacement project and its return to full service was a welcome relief for travelers into and out of the Upper Warwick Corridor, as well as Fort Eustis, in particular. The new bridge replaced one built in the 1960s that had long outlasted its useful lifespan. With immediate on-ramp access to I-64, the bridge is now providing a wider, safer passage than its predecessor. The $6.3 million project was a City-administered VDOT program, with majority funding through City sources, followed closely by State Revenue Sharing garnered by the Department of Engineering. The adjacent Reservoir Bridge, which was also built in the 1960s and is longer, is scheduled for replacement in the near future.Visit website

I've recently been musing about what the workplace skills of the future might be. Despite good intentions, we might have a big skills gap of a different kind to fill in the near future and I'm actually starting to wonder if code clubs are not the solution and if, perhaps, they might be obsolete?
Code Clubs
Whilst only a fairly recent development, code clubs are great: they are teaching kids vital skills it was thought they would need in tomorrow's workplace. But I'm no longer sure that we need an entire generation of developers. The world has moved on, even from where it was only three years ago when code clubs really took off.
Technology is now a much more common subject for schools and schoolchildren, partly thanks to code clubs. But there's now a need for something more, for additional skills just beyond coding.
Tools such as those provided by 123FormBuilder offer software as a service (SaaS), enabling people to build website surveys, forms and more without any programming knowledge. We can now create huge quantities of data without needing the coding skills we thought we would.
What's becoming apparent is the that the growth of data, whether it's marketing data, financial data, business analysis or any other form it might come in, requires different skills. We now need analysis.
Data Analysis
It's acknowledged that there is a digital skills gap and that it is hindering organizations' success with using data, with 52% of respondents to a recent B2B Marketing survey seeing a skills gap in data analytics. In a recent article, I also explored how tomorrow's businesses may demand a far wider skill set than we imagine.
There's a growing challenge to interpret information that a generation of developers, coders and programmers cannot help us overcome. Programming jobs are not going to be required in the same numbers, perhaps even by the time that today's children leave school, but the ability to analyze is.
Beyond Code Clubs
So whilst code clubs started with the right idea and do some great work, they are no longer fit for purpose. They shouldn't be abandoned altogether, but perhaps it is time for them to evolve. As the saying goes, the only certainty is that nothing is certain, and nothing could be truer of today's digital skills for tomorrow.

public bool AutoSaveInRegistry { get; set; }
Public Property AutoSaveInRegistry As Boolean
If the AutoSaveInRegistry property is set to true, the bars' layout is automatically restored from and stored to the registry when the form that owns the bars is being loaded and closed, respectively. The registry path where the information is stored is specified by the RegistryPath property.
Note that automatic saving/loading of settings works only if the Bar Manager belongs to a Form class instance. Otherwise, you may need to manually save/restore settings using, for instance, the SaveToRegistry or RestoreFromRegistry methods. It is also possible to store the settings in a stream and an XML file.

You've probably heard all about surgical procedures for building a better butt in the media lately. While it is the easy way out, it's not the most cost-effective, it probably won't last long, and you don't have the satisfaction of knowing that you built your glutes all on your own. The good news: there's a natural way to enhance the glutes and it can be done in or out of the gym. No equipment necessary. Although it does help. So, let's talk about the basics. Contrary to some beliefs, the buttocks is not one muscle. Often times, the buttocks are referred to as the gluteus maximus but that is only one of the three glute muscles. True, the gluteus maximus is the largest glute muscle, but it works in concert with two others: the gluteus medius and the gluteus minimus. This is important to know because different exercises will target various areas of the glute musculature. Not only that, but there are numerous ways to increase the gluteal muscles from lifting weights, plyometrics, and cardio. Yes! I said cardio.
You probably already know this one…lifting weights. Just like any other muscle or group of muscles, doing weight lifting exercises that target the glutes will help to increase the size of that group of muscles. Which means that performing glute exercises is a must on leg day(s). The glutes are easily targeted while working the legs, especially the hamstrings. For example, RDLs' (Romanian deadlifts) primary mover is the hamstring group, however, the glutes are also recruited during this exercise. Other exercises such as squats and leg press are typically thought of as quadricep exercises, but with a slight variation in footing, the primary movers for these exercises will shift from quadriceps to hamstrings and glutes. When performing exercises intended for quadricep growth, the feet should be placed closer together (approximately 6-8 inches). To shift the focus to the hamstrings and/or glutes, simply move your feet further apart. This will better recruit the antagonist muscle (hamstrings, in this case). And don't be afraid to go heavy. The goal is to successfully rep 8-12 repetitions with a bit of struggle for the last few reps. Training with 3-4 sets, 8-12 reps will induce muscle hypertrophy and help to increase the size of the glutes. There are various other exercises that were intended specifically for glute training: hip thrust, kickbacks, abduction machine, and reverse lunges are just a few of my favorites for glute enhancement, and they're primary movers (gluteus- minimus, medium, maximus) differ.
Double Leg Days
Doubling up on leg days may be a good option to help increase glute size. There should be at least 1 day in between leg day training sessions to allow the muscles to recover before being torn apart again. But don't go into these training days blind. You should make a plan first. Both days should not be the same. Exercises should vary from leg day training one to leg day training two. You may also want to think about varying the intensity of your training and/or the type of training. If you are someone who typically sticks to one mode of exercise (e.g. weight lifting), you may want to think about incorporating a different style of training, such as plyometrics. Plyometric exercises are characterized by jumping, explosive type movements geared toward increasing power output to increase strength and ballistic movements. Incorporating a different style of exercise will induce muscle confusion, which will ultimately "surprise" your muscles allowing for them to be torn down more rapidly causing a greater growth potential.
What? Yes, cardio may be used as a tool to elicit glute growth. Of course, it's more than simply getting on the elliptical or going for a casual jog. In most cases, those will cause weight loss, not muscle hypertrophy. Using cardio as a tool for bigger glutes is often more strenuous on both the cardiac muscles and the skeletal muscles. Try getting on the stair climber (not stair stepper) and use various techniques while utilizing the equipment. Have you ever gone to the gym and seen people on the stair climber moving at a fast rate while leaning on the hand rails? It seems like a good idea at the time because the exercise is so fatiguing but in reality…it's cheating. Don't cheat yourself. It's okay to turn down the work on the stair climber in order to do the exercise correctly and to target the glutes more proficiently. Leaning on the hand rails takes away a lot of the strain of the exercise. It turns a high intensity, high muscle building potential exercise into a plain old cardio exercise. The stair climber can be good for intervals and/or Fartlek training if utilized correctly. Glute kickbacks, lateral stair walking, and even stair jogging are all good activities for glute enhancement while on the stair climber. Another piece of cardio equipment that may be used for glute training is the treadmill. Like the stair climber, intervals can be performed on the treadmill incorporating lunges or lateral walking pop squats. But if you just feel like walking, increasing the treadmill grade to a higher level will recruit the hamstrings and glutes causing muscle hypertrophy. And just like the stair climber, holding the hand rails is cheating. Try increasing the grade and speed to a level that is able to be maintained without the use of the hand rails, but does challenge yourself. So don't get static in your glute training. There are many variations to glute exercises that will help you to maximize your gluteus growth, and varying those exercises throughout the week will further enhance glute hypertrophy.
