We all gain wisdom over the years. Fortunately, these days there's no reason to look like it was hard-earned. With modern laser and skin rejuvenation procedures, your outward appearance can mirror how young and vibrant you feel.
Fractionated Laser Rejuvenation (Mixto CO2)
Called the "anti-aging breakthrough of the 21st Century," this highly effective procedure can be used to correct mild to severe skin problems ranging from dark spots and acne scars to deep wrinkles. Using the latest laser technologies and applications, ablative skin resurfacing can deliver dramatic, long-lasting results.

Skin has the appearance of a sunburn for 2-3 days followed by tightness and peeling/exfoliation for up to 7 days
Usually only 1-2 treatments needed
Appointments typically take 1- 2 hours
Photo Rejuvenation, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
Using a Syneron Elos laser, IPL photo rejuvenation utilizes intense pulsed light to leave you with glowing skin and smoother appearance – with minimal to no downtime. IPL targets and dramatically improves red and brown skin discoloration such as sun damage, rosacea, freckles, and age spots.
Enhanced collagen production minimizes fine lines and wrinkles
Dramatically decreases sun damage, rosacea, and facial veins, while reducing pore size and fine wrinkles

Vivace Microneedling with

Get amazing results with minimal downtime.

You may experience mild swelling and bruising immediately following the treatment
Best results occur when combined with another treatment such as Vivace or Fractionated CO2
Laser Hair Removal
Lutronic Clarity Laser Hair Removal is a noninvasive technique that uses highly concentrated light to penetrate hair follicles. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair shaft in the follicle, generating heat that damages the follicle to inhibit future hair growth. Because laser hair removal only affects actively growing hair follicles, it typically takes at least six laser hair removal treatments to provide permanent, significant hair reduction.
Lasting results that permanently reduces the amount of hair in any given area
No downtime, and side effects are rare and minimal (often appearing like a sunburn)
Most patients can expect a 10 to 25 percent reduction in hair growth with each treatment
Generally, 6 to 7 treatments are required to see a good reduction of hair growth
Treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart depending on area
Appointments typically last 15 minutes to 1 hour

Chick Flick Friday! - "The Ugly Truth
Okay, so I rented the movie "The Ugly Truth" starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler. I had really wanted to see this one in the movies but never got around to it. I had thought that it looked like a funny romantic comedy/chick-flick and for the most part, I was right.
This movie deals with the different ways men and women view the opposite sex and what we want in a boyfriend/girlfriend. Katherine Heigl's character is a rather uptight, control freak who pretty much writes out a script of how her dates should go. Gerard Butler plays a guy who does a segment on the morning show Heigl produces called (surprise, surprise) the Ugly Truth where he talks about how men are basically dogs and don't really car about what's on the inside, it's all based on looks and what you do with them.
While there are some definite laugh out loud moments, a lot of the humor was kind of crude. I am in no way, shape or form prudish but some of the jokes and comments I could have done without. Would I recommend this movie to y'all? Absolutely. It is funny and I do find Gerard Butler to be kind of attractive in a weird kind of way but if you have a problem with crude humor, prepare yourself. All in all, I'd still watch it a second time.
*Today's Examiner.com article is on the Santa Express! You can read about it HERE. Thanks!*

I really liked this one. The crude doesn't bother me, seeing as how my favorite movie is the 40 year old virgin.

Watch: Aqib Talib grabs Michael Crabtree's gold chain necklace and snaps it
Broncos corner Aqib Talib and Raiders wideout Michael Crabtree got mixed up during Sunday's game, and it became rather personal after the move Talib pulled early on.
"I told him if he wears that chain in front of me I'm gonna snatched it off him," he told reporters after the game.
He grabbed Crabtree's gold chain necklace and yanked it so hard that it snapped.
Did he try to take it off his neck to wear for himself, or break it? Either way, it was a cold move.

A 900m Farewell to Friends
Current Position: 42 56.95 N 017 9.78 E Click to view map.
Distance sailed since last post: 47 nautical miles. View the map of our voyage track here
Across from Korcula we could see a big mountain rising up above the small town of Orebic. If you click on the map link above, you can see where we are anchored and also the town and mountain just north of us. So we decided to do a hike.
It turned out that the mountain rose 900m up from sea level. So it ended up being quite a climb. But we weren't the only ones doing it, and met several other hikers on the way, including a family with two young girls from Oxford.
While we were puffing our way up, our friends Tony and Sally on the Junk-rigged schooner Ron Glas were checking out of Croatia to head for Italy and then Greece. Halfway up, we could see them! So, farewell Tony and Sally, and bon voyage for your crossing! We hope to bump into in some anchorage somewhere again.
We also had a nice view of Korcula town. We really like Korcula, and had another lovely evening there after our hike – live music at so many cafes and bars, and a lovely ambiance through the town. Definitely one of our favourites. We will tell more in our next post, with highlights of Croatia.
Below are a couple other photos from our hike

Wow – so beautiful!!!

Evaluating Bingo Brands With Slots
It is important for us to help select a bingo site that's suitable for you specifically so that you can enjoy your online gambling and gaming experience. We are going to look for a website you like meaning you do not have to test every website out personally.
That is why we have made a variety of reviews and also critiques regarding unique online slot features to show you. We are conscious that each individual will have different thoughts, and that is why we will present to you the different features of every site.
A number of these games require no downloads or deposits. These kinds of sites are very common with players who are not used to gambling on the internet, as many people would like to test before they decide to sign up.
Getting in bingo website, you should always watch for the bonus offers because this means that you can continue playing longer and increase your chances of hitting a jackpot.
Signing up for emails can help you to receive the better deals because the vouchers and offers will be delivered straight to your email inbox so that you do not miss out on anything.
Some websites regularly run mini competitions, and they happen with little warning, so you want to either check back at the site or receive emails.
Bingo Bonus to Play Slot Machine
What are the things to mull over when deciding on a slots bonus? First, look at the wagering requirements. In most cases, you will have to play through the game multiple times to receive a bingo bonus. This is different than for a standard bonus where it will normally be much less.
With these types of games, the bonus will often be 20 times higher, and there have been cases where it is as high as 99x. You may still find bingo sites that do not have that wagering requirement.
Also, look at the games where the bonus can be used and whether they are the ones that you want to play. Just because one site offers a bonus for a specific game does not mean that another site will offer the same bonus for that game.
Next, look at whether the slot machine bonus has a time limit or wagering requirement. You want to understand what happens if you fail to meet the requirements.
It depends on the site, but some websites will just take your remaining bonus. Meanwhile, others will remove all your winnings, and that is what you want to watch out for.
With the majority of bingo games with slots, you will have a spend order that involves your cash balance. For example, you have to use the balance first, so you will not see a slots bonus until you have finished with the wagering.
As a result, you could find yourself trying to meet the wagering requirements by using your bingo winnings.
Bingo No Deposit Slots Bonus
Whenever you sign up with a new slots site, you will oftentimes receive a welcome bonus or a deposit deal. You can find bingo slots no deposit, which means that you are playing almost for free.
This could be done through a promo code or other type of bonus offer. As a result of taking advantage of these sites, you will have more funding to wager with for your newer games.
Whenever you are a newer player, however, always look at the small print because most site offers to newer players will have small print. You have to understand the wager requirements that have been placed in the terms and conditions.
Not every new site will make the grade, but there are new online bingo sites no deposit bonus offers that pop up all the time.
Checking out reviews and looking at customer feedback becomes a crucial step in the research process to ensure you are using a reputable site.

To maximize your time, check to see if the different bingo slot machines offer VIP status for those players who visit the site regularly.
VIP status means you will enjoy further perks like promo codes and bonuses that most members of a site cannot access. This may include accelerated payouts, personalised gifts and cashback rewards.

Secure Online Gambling Websites
It is necessary to use completely licensed United Kingdom bingo to ensure you stay safe while on the web.

Risk-free payment transactions can be completed if you use PayPal, meaning that your cash will always be secure when using these websites.
That's why we strongly recommend making sure transaction choices are safe before putting in any card details. We understand there are some providers around in which won't pay out winnings; because of this, we think that it's important to pick a reliable site to play online slots.

- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 12 muffins 1x
- Category: Breakfast
- Method: Baking
- Cuisine: American

I adapted this recipe from Lindsey's fabulous blog, Café Johnsonia. The jam on the inside was such a fun idea and tastes soooooo good! My whole family adores these muffins, but I definitely love them the most. These muffins bring back childhood peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in a sophisticated and more nutritious way.
1/3 cup almond butter
1/4 cup organic virgin coconut oil, at room temperature
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
6 tablespoons thick jam, preferably all-fruit and naturally sweetener
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, and using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the almond butter and oil until creamy. Add the maple syrup and beat until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue beating until creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add one-third of the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat on low speed just until combined. Add half of the almond milk and beat again. Add another third of the flour mixture, followed by the rest of the almond milk, and ending with the remaining flour mixture. Continue mixing just until the batter comes together. Do not overmix.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, fill the muffin cups one-quarter full. Use the tip of a spoon to push the batter to cover the entire bottom and a little up the sides. Place 1 rounded teaspoon of jam in each muffin cup, trying to center it as much as possible. Top the jam with the remaining batter, making sure it covers the jam.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and spring back when gently pressed. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and serve.

In a remote region of northern Nigeria the signs of a lead poisoning crisis caused by small-scale gold mining are still visible especially among children, despite a four-year clean-up project.
Four-year-old Umaima stares into space, seeming detached from all that is going on around her in the small village of Sumke.
She has not been able to talk or hear since she was two. For some months she was unable to walk until she received medical treatment.
"I feel lucky, because a child next door died of the same illness," her mother says.
The contamination in Nigeria's Zamfara state is seen as the worst case of lead poisoning in the world.
More than 460 children have died since 2009, and the health of thousands has been affected.
The lead is a deadly by-product of the small-scale gold mining industry in Zamfara.
The government says the mining is illegal, but in this rural Muslim region of north-western Nigeria it has been going on for generations - and it was a discovery of greater deposits that has led to the recent boom in digging for gold.
Dangerous work
At the Darata gold mine, a group of men gather around several deep dark pits, waiting for their colleagues who are several dozen feet under the ground hacking away at the rock.
It is dangerous work and some are down the pits for several days at a time.
"I'm never going to stop this work because it's the only way I can earn a living around here," says one of the miners as he emerges from a deep pit.
"I know some people have died from poisoning, but not from my family and even if anything were to happen it would be a sign of God's will," he tells me.
Village dust
The sacks of rock which are brought up from underground are carried on the backs of motorbikes to a nearby processing site.
Here dozens of men and young boys work under the 45C (113F) heat hammering rocks, operating grinding machines and sifting for gold.
The danger is in the dust. It is full of toxic lead, and is carried to the workers' homes on their clothes and tools.
Most at risk are the children because the dust turns their villages into a poisonous playground.
Their young bodies are vulnerable to the effects of the toxins.
This crisis began in 2009. The government has not stopped the activity, though it says it will introduce safer mining practices - which are yet to be seen on the ground.
President Goodluck Jonathan pledged $4m (£2.6m) in May 2012, however, the money was not released until January.
It took an online and media campaign by local and international organisations to get the funds released.
Mercy Abang, a journalist and activist from Citizens Platform, was part of that drive, and says it is not enough for the money to be released but it also has to be used appropriately.
"It's not news that we have a history of misappropriation of funds in Nigeria," she says.
"The money has to pass through several stages to get down, and it is necessary for us to follow the money at each stage."
Bagega village is the last of the eight affected communities to be cleaned up over the last four years.
Using shovels, workers dig up and remove all the contaminated soil and replace it with clean earth - in some cases the walls of these mud buildings have to be plastered afresh.
It is a painfully slow process, and is not helped by the fact that the equipment promised by the government has not arrived.
No children in this village can be treated for the effects of the poisoning until this clean-up is completed.
Long-term fears
In Sumke village, where the toxic soil has been removed, the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontiers (MSF) runs a treatment clinic where mothers bring their affected children to receive medicine.
It is a complicated, drawn out process, which for some children could last up to 15 years.
But the aid agencies will not stay that long.
MSF's Zackaria Mwatia worries that the government might not be able to take over from them.
"The main challenge we face is we don't see [the] federal ministry of health on the ground," he says.
"We would like them to send the doctors, the nurses, the laboratory scientists so that we build their capacity.
"They would have built their skills and they will be able to handle this programme successfully."
Health Minister Dr Muhammed Pate said MSF had no reason to worry.
"This is a man-made disaster; it is not a natural disaster - illegal mining is the underlying reason for this lack of awareness is behind it," he says.
"We can't sit behind and… not take action. Government will continue to take all steps to protect the lives and well being of its people."
But as the blame is traded, thousands of children in these villages face a difficult future.
As the mining continues it is they who will pay a high price.
Cleaning up Nigeria's toxic playgrounds
In a remote region of northern Nigeria the signs of a lead poisoning crisis caused by small-scale gold mining are still visible especially among children, despite a four-year clean-up project.

Back to the zombies. I figure Easter is coming…
This time it is zombies in medieval England:
God has forsaken this land.
A mysterious plague descends upon 14th century England, ravaging the country and trapping the souls of the afflicted in eternal madness. The feudal hierarchy–and even the church itself– slowly crumbles as the dead rise to feed and the living seek whatever shelter they can. The bishops of England call for calm and obedience, but one man isn't listening.
Sir Edward of Bodiam has been separated from the woman he loves and nothing on heaven or earth can stop him from seeking her out.
Edward and two of his knights travel through the swiftly changing landscape of England, a countryside now overrun by the minions of hell. The knights encounter madness, violence, and sorrow, but Edward fights his way ever deeper into the thickening darkness of unholy terror.
Roberto Calas brings you along on a dark, historical tale full of love, death, and black humor. Follow Edward as he journeys to save his wife, his kingdom, and his very soul.
Very similar to The Zombie Bible series by Stant Litore. But where Mr. Litore is poetic and philsophical, Mr. Calas is humorous. Think Monty Python with zombies. But not so campy.
I know next to nothing about this time period in history. My husband is a huge fan of medieval history, weapons, warfare, etc. When he starts going on about the battle of Agincourt my eyes start to glaze over. It's not that it isn't interesting, it just doesn't interest me. But Mr. Calas made it interesting.
Many people say that chivalry is a dying notion. That honor is dead. This may be true. but no knight I have ever known can resist a maiden in distress.
Intermixed with all of the knightly adventures and the quest for Sir Edward to return to his wife, Elizabeth, are zombies. My husband seems to think that zombies would be easily dispatched in medieval times, but he didn't count on the power of the Catholic church. It is thought that the zombies just have the plague:
The noises that come from the plaguer are those of an animal. Growls and shrieks. There is no reason. There is no humanity. I can feel his teeth scraping at the bevor upon my neck. His hands shove at my helmet. I see three red circles above his thumb. I shove at him, but he has latched on to me, with one arm under my head. He pulls me toward his mouth like a hungry lover and I scream. Not in fear but in anger.
I'm always intrigued by the little differences that the authors of zombie books weave into their stories. Be it the way the zombies began (plague, gas, aliens, or no reason at all) or how they move and act, this always fascinates me. These zombies feel pain. Which must make it difficult to kill them.
On his quest, Sir Edward has Sir Tristan and Sir Morgan with him. Sir Morgan is devoutly religious. He is always quoting scripture. Sir Edward and Sir Tristan kind of give him hell for it. But their discourse highlights the way Catholicism permeated everyday life during this time period. Sir Morgan actually believes that holy relics can cure the plague. And by the end of the book, Sir Edward starts to believe him as well. The religious conversations were hilarious, however:
"Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle."
"This is the same Lord who says we shouldn't kill?" Tristan asks.
"No, it's the Old Testament God," I say. "The grumpy one."
"You have two Gods?" Zhuri asks.
"Just one," Tristan says. "But he had a troubled childhood."
I was struck at the similarities between this work and the other zombie books I've read. Particularly the ones set in modern times in the US. Apparently when the dead start walking, the world goes to shit. There is a fundamental breakdown in society, even in the "dark ages", and the desire to rule one's own little kingdom is powerful. Even at the price of precious human life. If you are a Walking Dead fan, think "The Governor". These knights find this all over England.
There is a situation the knights in this story find themselves in that is quite absurd. Think zombie bears. Edward remarks to himself after they have barely gotten out alive (again):
I wonder how many mad tyrants rule in England now. How many lunatic kings sit in dung-pits and throw men to their deaths.
Overall, a great read. Full of adventure, strong characters, humor and strong relationships. Very different from typical zombie stories in that you actually LEARN SOMETHING about history while reading them. Much like Stant Litore's work. I look forward to the next installments.
Oh, and a quick note, this book was originally written as a serial for Amazon in 2012. Each episode seems to end in a cliffhanger because a new episode would be released each week. It doesn't detract from the work at all, but I didn't realize that at first when I was reading, and it made sense in the author's notes in the end of the book.

Item description: Entry, 8 January 1862, from the diary of Thomas Bragg (Attorney General of the Confederate States of America, 1861-1863), written in Richmond, Va. Bragg comments on Confederate foreign relations, arrangements for the delivery of mail abroad, events in Missouri, and comments on President Jefferson Davis' feelings about several Confederate leaders.
[Transcription available below images.]
Item citation: From the Thomas Bragg Papers, 3304-z, Southern Historical Collection, Wilson Library, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Item transcription:
Wednesday, January 8, 1862
We had a Cabinet meeting today chiefly on the propriety of making a contact with a Spanish gentleman to run a line of steamers during the War from Havana to Matamoras in Mexico – ostensibly to carry our mail, abroad, but really as a War measure, sending dispatches & getting somethings wanted by us. It was agreed that the President should ask Congress for sixty thousand dollars a year to keep up foreign communications without saying more, as it was desirable to keep the arrangement private. Mr. Benjamin was authorized to offer that sum per annum for carrying mails. The President thought if the Spanish authorities give countenance to the line, which it is supposed they will, the most probable result would be that the Yankees would seize the Steamer and that would bring on a war with Spain.
There was afterwards much desultory conversation about a great many matters – the State of things in Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia and incidentally Gen'l Bragg's command. The Missourians have provoked the President a good deal about Price. Neither he or his troops have as I before said never mustered into Confederate service, and they seem to be making no effort to get them into that service, they are State Malitia – Congress appropriated one million of dollars for their aid & a Quarter Master &c was sent out to aid them. The President thought that all Price's operations had rather been useless or worse than useless, save that it had been to some extent, drawn a large force of the enemy from the Mississippi. There was a good deal of canvassing as to a general officer to be sent there. They had been willing to send Gen'l Bragg there but could not agree spare him after the South was threatened. I believe Gen'l Van Dorn will be sent. It seems Gen'l Pillow is dissatisfied and has sent his resignation – why, does not exactly appear. The treatment of the Volunteers in the Army of the Potomac was again mentioned by the President, who read a severe article, communicated ot the Whig N's Paper. Some of the changes he said were true and there were many abuses. Drinking in the Army could not be stopped unless the officers set an example. In this connection he again spoke of Gen'l Bragg – said he had put down drinking and that his had been the only well disciplined and managed Army in the field. that he set a proper example to his men. In speaking of the other Generals, their quantities &c, he ranked him with Sidney Johnson and some others. He never names Beauregard. I think, after all, he does not like him or think much of him. I am not sure but the Sec'y of War is in the same category.
The newspaper press here was named – the Examiner is virtually assailing the Administration everyday. It is not defended by either the Dispatch or Whig, and very seldom & very faintly by the Enquirer – The thing has gone to that extent it has almost become a necessity to have some paper to reply to these attacks, or at least to give the facts from which the public may form correct opinions and not be misled – The Examiner is conducted with much talent, but its tendency is mischievous and injurious to the Southern Cause – It is copied I see into the Herald & other Northern papers –
Mr. Hunter was to see something about obtaining in some way an interest in one of the papers named, or as to the means of establishing a new paper. There is great objection to having a Government Ogran, but a paper friendly to the Administration would receive a large support –
Had a letter from home today – wife doing well and infant was improving –

Infineon's Power PROFET™ protected high-side switches supports the trend towards decentralized, intelligent and cost effective vehicle power distribution architectures. Power PROFET™ is a benchmark family of ultra-low ohmic protected high-side switches (1.0mΩ to 2.5mΩ) with integrated protection functions and diagnostics for automotive and 12V industrial markets. The devices are especially designed to drive high current loads of 20 to 40A DC and to replace high current relays and fuses in a wide range of high energy applications (e.g. module main switches and trailer node supply) and heating (e.g. PTC heaters and rear defoggers).
Today, the Power PROFET family consists of four pin-compatible switches controlling currents from 20A to 40A DC. They share the same feature set. Only their on-state resistance RDS(ON) scales with 1.0mΩ, 1.5mΩ, 2.0mΩ, or 2.5mΩ for each device.
Ultra-low ohmic smart high-side power switch family with 1.0mΩ/1.5mΩ/2.0mΩ/2.5mΩ devices offers 100% pin compatibility
EAS = 3000mJ @ 40A / EAR = 460mJ @ 40A
EAS = 3000mJ @ 33A / EAR = 550mJ @ 33A
EAS = 1750mJ @ 29A / EAR = 250mJ @ 29A
EAS = 1050mJ @ 25A / EAR = 120mJ @ 25A
Reduce number of components at system level (relay driver, socket, fuses, connectors, free-wheeling diode), significantly decreasing the module size and cost.
Replacement of electromechanical relays, fuses and discrete circuits in power distribution and junction boxes.

NAKED CITY the movie
Recently I watched the Criterion dvd of this noir classic....first movie to be filmed mostly on location, thus making the City of New York another chracter in the film. Stars Barry Fitzgerald, radio's Sam Spade Howard Duff (here playing a character on the other side of the law), Don Taylor (he of FIVE MAN ARMY fame) and Ted de Corsia (memorable in numerous westerns as an overweight henchman/villain) but here as a fit, exercise conscious bad guy.

Early life and career
Physioc grew up as a Kansas City Royals fan in Merriam, Kansas[2] and graduated from Kansas State University in 1977,.[3] He began his announcing career as Sports Director for KHAS radio in Hastings, Nebraska, covering local high school and Hastings College athletics. After that he went on to become the radio voice of Kansas State Wildcats football and basketball (1979-1982). Mitch Holthus took over after he left K-State. Physioc was also a Sports Anchor on WIBW-TV in Topeka during the late 1970s and early '80s, and at WLWT in Cincinnati, where he worked alongside Jerry Springer.[4] He involves in church and Charitable affairs.[5]
Professional sports announcing duties
Physioc began his major league play-by-play announcing career in 1983, broadcasting Cincinnati Bengals football and Cincinnati Reds baseball games, a position he held until 1987.
He then served as the San Francisco Giants announcer for KTVU-TV from 1987-1988, followed by work for ESPN (1989-1995), announcing Major League Baseball, college basketball, baseball and Big Ten football.
In 1995, he announced San Diego Padres games and Pac-10 football games for Fox Sports West. Physioc's previous experience also includes radio play-by-play for the NBA's Golden State Warriors (1989–1990) and the NFL's Los Angeles Rams (1994), and television play-by-play for the Warriors (1990-1991) and the Vancouver Grizzlies during their inaugural season (1995-1996) in the NBA.
From 1997-2009, Physioc called local telecasts of Anaheim/Los Angeles Angels baseball. In November 2009, he was released from the Angels' broadcast crew along with longtime partner Rex Hudler, ending 14 years with the club.[6] Two months later Physioc became a candidate to return to the Angels broadcast team following the death of Rory Markas.
On June 27, 2010, Physioc handled substitute play-by-play duties for the TBS MLB Sunday telecast of the Detroit Tigers at the Atlanta Braves alongside David Wells and Ron Darling.
In February 2012 Physioc was hired by the Kansas City Royals, for whom he will call games part-time on television (where he will reunite with former Angels partner Hudler) and radio.[7]
College sports announcing duties
During the baseball offseason, Physioc broadcasts other sporting events, primarily college basketball games (primarily in the West Coast Conference), on the ESPNU network. On January 7, 2006, Physioc made a guest appearance as a substitute play-by-play announcer for the Los Angeles Lakers, taking the place of Joel Meyers for one game because Meyers was on assignment. Phsyioc also appears on Fox Sports Net for college basketball games for the Pac-12 and Big 12 conferences.
In late-2008, Physioc was asked to fill in for his Angels broadcast partner Rory Markas, who was the lead announcer for USC Trojans Basketball, while Markas recovered from surgery to remove a blood clot. Physioc and fellow Cincinnati Bengals alum Pete Arbogast alternated play-by-play of Trojans basketball for a few weeks until Markas returned. In January 2010, Physioc and Arbogast again were asked to take over the Trojans' broadcasts following the sudden death of Markas, with Physioc broadcasting one game, and Arbogast taking over the rest of the broadcast schedule.
Physioc was featured on ESPNU Midnight Madness on October 16, 2009 along with Steve Lavin of the University of Washington.
Physioc appears on Fox Sports Net for play by play of Pac-12 and Big-12 football games.[8]
He is married to Stacey Physioc and has two children, a son Kevin, and a daughter, Ryan and two grandchildren. He is known as Steve "The Phiz" Physioc.

Welcome back to the Wise Business Forms blog. There are millions of companies in the world that might need print services. However, if print shops narrow their focus and pick out a few key markets to serve, they may fare better than more wide-ranging competitors.
Creating a lasting relationship between a print service provider and another company means collaborating on valuable and meaningful projects. If printers slow down and focus on a particular type of customer, they may be better able to align their offerings with those firms' needs.
When a potential client hears a print service provider offer a very specific solution to a known industry problem, that buyer may feel emboldened to sign a contract and get to work addressing the issue.
Thanks for watching and come back soon for more print industry viewpoints.

Through the Fire
Ndume Olatushani
By: Kingsley East
"No matter where we're at, we can still help someone less fortunate than ourselves." Many people claim this statement, but few have twenty-eight years of imprisonment to stand behind it. Ndume Olatushani spent over half of his life in prison for a murder that he didn't commit, yet he never saw himself as worse off than the people around him. Not only that, but Ndume spent his jail time putting this statement into action, as he reached out to help his fellow inmates and educate himself about the legal system.
A harsh environment and a series of bad choices growing up led Ndume into the wrong circumstances, which incarcerated him for a murder-robbery that occurred in Tennessee. Before his trial date, Ndume had never even stepped foot in Tennessee. While the legal system failed Ndume in many ways, it did not defeat him. Ndume believes, "Whatever fires we go through in life, if we get through to the other side, that adversity is not meant for us, it is meant for other people."
Ndume used his time in jail to serve others and show people that we all have a responsibility to help those around us. Now, Ndume uses his experiences to reach out to men in jail and youths who are subject to follow his path into prison. He does this by volunteering at after school programs for local high schools and partnering with organizations like Project Return and the Martha O'Bryan Center.
Looking back, Ndume sees that his home life was a foundational place for his life of service, but his social environment failed to encourage him to rise above stereotypes and keep away from the pathway to jail. Now, Ndume strives to give children and incarcerated men hope. His story is proof that anything is possible, and any situation can be turned into an opportunity to care for others.

Kodachrome, the end of the yellow brick road
Kodachrome's celebrated 75-year run came to an end yesterday when the World's last processing machine located at Dwayne's Photo, a small family run business in Parsons, Kansas, was shut down after processing its final rolls.
In the last weeks, dozens of visitors and thousands of overnight packages have raced there, transforming the small prairie-bound city not far from the Oklahoma border for a brief time into a center of nostalgia for the days when photographs appeared not in the sterile frame of a computer screen or in a pack of flimsy prints from the local drugstore but in the warm glow of a projector pulling an image from a carousel of vivid slides.
Demanding both to shoot and process, Kodachrome rewarded generations of skilled users with a richness of color and a unique treatment of light that many photographers described as incomparable even as they shifted to digital cameras. "Makes you think all the world's a sunny day," Paul Simon sang in his 1973 hit "Kodachrome," which carried the plea "Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away."
As news media around the world have heralded Thursday's end of an era, rolls of the discontinued film that had been hoarded in freezers and tucked away in closets, sometimes for decades, have flooded Dwayne's Photo, arriving from six continents.
Among the recent visitors was Steve McCurry, a photographer whose work has appeared for decades in National Geographic including his well-known cover portrait, shot in Kodachrome, of a Afghan girl that highlights what he describes as the "sublime quality" of the film. When Kodak stopped producing the film last year, the company gave him the last roll, which he hand-delivered to Parsons. "I wasn't going to take any chances," he explained.
At the peak, there were about 25 labs worldwide that processed Kodachrome, but the last Kodak-run facility in the United States closed several years ago, then the one in Japan and then the one in Switzerland. Since then, all that was left has been Dwayne's Photo. Last year, Kodak stopped producing the chemicals needed to develop the film, providing the business with enough to continue processing through the end of 2010. And last week, right on schedule, the lab opened up the last canister of blue dye.
One of the toughest decisions was how to deal with the dozens of requests from amateurs and professionals alike to provide the last roll to be processed.
In the end, it was determined that a roll belonging to Dwayne Steinle, the owner, would be last. It took three tries to find a camera that worked. And over the course of the week he fired off shots of his house, his family and downtown Parsons. The last frame is already planned for Thursday, a picture of all the employees standing in front of Dwayne's wearing shirts with the epitaph: "The best slide and movie film in history is now officially retired. Kodachrome: 1935-2010."
Article from the New York Times, December 29
And the future....
A NY Times reader posted this comment on the papers LENS BLOG
Sad to see all the posters here who think that they can "archive" their digital photographs. "Archive" them on what? CDs? DVDs? Memory sticks? All of these media are tremendously volatile. In twenty years much of you've shot will be gone. In fifty years nearly all of it will be gone. All that will remain are the photos that you've printed to archival paper using pigment-based inks. Maybe. If you're lucky and Epson et al. are not lying.
In a hundred years my dark-stored Kodachrome slides will look more or less as they do today. We know this because we (my own family) have 50 and even 65 year old Kodachrome slides and movies that look like they were shot yesterday.
Good luck with your digital "archives," folks. Your great-grandchildren are going to wonder what you looked like.

Talking about wine, there was an article about an award-winning wine in the newspaper last week ... an award-winning wine from (ta-DA!) Wal-Mart. (!) Would you believe a
Alas, it's only sold in Asda, Wal-Mart's grocery chain in the UK. Think it'll ever make it onto Wal-Mart's shelves here in the US? Probably not. That classy name and its spiffy-looking label don't quite live
Several years ago, I received an email about Wal-Mart possibly bottling and selling its own wines in the near future, and selling them for
- White Trashfindel
- Kendall Jacksoff
- Walton's Pondscum
- World Championship Wriesling
- Headache in a Bottle
- Sadder Home
- Wrath of Grapes
- NASCARbernet
- Chef Boyardeaux
- X-Lax Collection
- Peanut Noir
- I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar
- Fifty Grades of Gag
- Grape Expectations
- Nasti Spumante
Okay, okay, I'll stop picking on Wal-Mart. But I'm not done poking fun at booze. Not just wine... but booze, in general.
Whiskey is, by far, the most popular of all remedies that won't cure a cold. [Jerry Vale]
In 1952, Armon M. Sweat, Jr., a member of the Texas House of Representatives, was asked for his opinion of whiskey. Being the true politician that he was, this was his response, as recorded in the Political Archives of Texas:
"If you mean whiskey, the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home, creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the mouths of little children; if you mean that evil drink that topples Christian men and women from the pinnacles of righteous and gracious living into the bottomless pit of degradation, shame, despair, helplessness, and hopelessness, then, my friend, I am opposed to it with every fiber of my being.
"However, if by whiskey you mean the lubricant of conversation, the philosophic juice, the elixir of life, the liquid that is consumed when good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and the warm glow of contentment in their eyes; if you mean Christmas cheer, the stimulating sip that puts a little spring in the step of an elderly gentleman on a frosty morning; if you mean that drink that enables man to magnify his joy, and to forget life's great tragedies and heartbreaks and sorrow; if you mean that drink the sale of which pours into Texas treasuries untold millions of dollars each year, that provides tender care for our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our pitifully aged and infirm, to build the finest highways, hospitals, universities, and community colleges in this nation, then my friend, I am absolutely, unequivocally in favor of it.
"This is my position, and as always, I refuse to compromise on matters of principle."
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. [Ben Franklin]
Whoever drinks beer, he is quick to sleep;
Whoever sleeps long, does not sin;
Whoever does not sin, enters Heaven!
Thus, let us drink beer! [Martin Luther]
Here's to alcohol, the rose-colored glasses of life. [F.Scott Fitzgerald]
A cute bar towel, huh? Not that it's at all applicable to any women I know.
I cook with wine; sometimes I even add it to the food. [W.C. Fields]
Are these the coolest napkins, or what?
I like to have a martini,
Two at the very most.
After three, I'm under the table,
After four, I'm under the host.
[Dorothy Parker]
Another bar towel.
I knew I was drunk. I felt sophisticated and couldn't pronounce it. [anonymous]
Yet another towel.
In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is Freedom, in water there is bacteria. [Ben Franklin]
My personal favorite. This sign was next to the cash register in a wine-tasting shop.
Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. [Ernest Hemingway]
Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer. [Dave Barry]
Actually, it only takes one drink to get me loaded. Trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or fourteenth. [George Burns]
One must always respect one's beverage.
When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. [Henny Youngman]
I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample, it had an olive in it. [Rodney Dangerfield]
Don't try to join the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. It turns out they're apparently against all three. [Wiley Post]
The mouth of a perfectly happy man is filled with beer. [Ancient Egyptian proverb, circa 2200 B.C.!!!]
Okay, cheers! That's it for now. Until next time, take care of yourselves. And each other.
P.S. Just a quick update. In last week's post, I said Nathan's traditional 4th of July hot dog-eating contest got its start in 1916, when four immigrants competed to decide which of them was the most patriotic. Sounds good, huh? Turns out, the hot dog company has been trying to feed us more than hot dogs, because that's a big fat Whopper they've been telling since their PR folks came up with the story in the '70s. In their defense, their creative story isn't entirely made of baloney. After all, they've always prefaced their made-to-order story by saying Legend has it...

Dysfunction Designs is a Glasgow based company owned by Kristy Rice that specializes in handcrafted, elegant and intricate jewelry and accessory pieces. Her collection of necklaces and bracelets boasts of tribal, natural and alternative influences. Notably, Rice's choice in natural materials – colourful clay beads, wood and occasionally metals complement each other brilliant to create these beautiful and earthy pieces that can be worn by all free spirits.
Below is our interview with Kirsty Rice on her creative process and the inspiration behind her jewelry collection
MimosaLife – What was the inspiration behind Dysfunction Designs ?
Kirsty Rice – Originally, DysfunctionDesigns was nothing more than a hobby of mine. I'd started making jewellery for myself as I wasn't happy with the selection available on the high street. Everything looked the same and I wanted something different, something that was more me. As time went by, I started to receive more and more compliments on my jewellery and the positive feedback from others sparked the idea to open my Etsy shop. Since then I've been striving to create funky, one of a kind pieces for all those individuals and free spirits out there who are looking for the same thing I was.
Mimosa Life -It is evident, that there is a tribal theme recurring in some of your jewelry pieces, where do these influences come from?
Kirsty Rice – I love, love, love the whole tribal look! I really like the style and also the freedom it represents. There are so many jewellery designers out there focusing on precious metals and gemstones, but that's just not me. The natural, earthy style of a lot of my pieces is not only enjoyable to create, but it also reflects my own personality. I feel that it's important to make something I'm passionate about so that my customers and fans get the most from my jewellery. Any other style of jewellery just wouldn't cut it for me.
Mimosalife – Are all the individual pieces handmade?
Kirsty Rice – All of the jewellery available in my shop is made by me. I mainly use clay beads, all of which are made by me, by hand. I sometimes add natural handcrafted wooden and bone beads in some of my creations to compliment these. I also make custom pieces on request.
MimosaLife- What is the process or craftsmanship that goes in the creation of your jewelry collection?
Kirsty Rice -When creating clay beads, I cut off the amount of clay I need and condition it until it is ready to work with. I then sculpt and texture each bead by hand before curing them in an oven. They are then ready to be laid out in a pattern on my trusty bead tray, ready for stringing. I like to use elastic cord to create stretchy, one-size pieces, but I also use beading wires and closures to make easy to wear and extendable pieces.
MimosaLife- How many individuals are involved in Dysfunction Designs.
Kirsty Rice – The show is run by me, myself and I. I'm a one woman machine at the moment and I do everything personally, from making the jewellery to taking product photos and packaging the orders ready for shipping. I hope to get more people involved with DysfunctionDesigns in the future and have plans to expand and open a bricks and mortar shop.

Paris is one of the world's most beautiful cities, and if you've only got 24 hours to spend there, here are five things you absolutely must do.
1. Have a romantic evening picnic as you watch the Eiffel Tower zap birds: There's a reason Paris is known as the City Of Love. If you want to impress your significant other, spread a blanket out on the ground in front of the Eiffel Tower and enjoy the show as herons, sandpipers, and owls flock from hundreds of miles away to dive-bomb into the iconic electrified tower and light up the night sky. Ooh la la!
2. Contribute to Notre-Dame Cathedral's gum wall: Built in 1163, the Notre-Dame Cathedral is a triumph of French Gothic architecture and boasts one of the oldest gum walls in the world. Power-washed only once in 1336, everyone from Nostradamus to Coco Chanel has added their mark on the cathedral's east-facing wall. Run your hand across the bumpy, multicolored stone and it's entirely possible that you'll be touching gum that once resided in the mouth of Joan of Arc.
3. Kiss Hemingway's visage embedded in the trunk of a Pontiac Aztek: In a small museum in Paris' Latin Quarter, book lovers can kiss the dented metal of the '05 Aztek that Ernest Hemingway flew into after getting doored while biking in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Things can get a tad touristy at the gift shop, where everything from shirts to Himalayan salt lamps are made to look like Hemingway's famously immortalized open-mouthed scream, but the museum staff is knowledgeable and clearly proud to house such a precious piece of literary history. You won't want to miss it.
4. Catch the orca show at the Louvre: Locals know that the best way to experience the Louvre is to blow past all the priceless antiquities and seminal paintings and head straight for the Louis XVIII Oceanarium to catch a presentation of "Arise: An Orca Experience," where the museum's twin killer whales, Guy and Gulliver, flip and twirl 20 feet in the air for cheering crowds of amazed spectators. Get there early if you want a chance to be the one lucky visitor who gets to stand at the edge of the tank and feed the whales fish. Oh, and word to the wise, be sure to wear a poncho if you don't want to get wet.
5. Continue building the Arc de Triomphe into the John Candy statue it was originally intended to be: Commissioned in 1994 by then-French President François Mitterrand following Candy's tragic death, workers only had time to build out the comedy legend's two stocky legs before an economic recession forced construction on the memorial statue to be halted, leaving the structure without a torso, arms, or head. If you've got an hour or two to spare and would like to lend a hand, locals would undoubtedly be grateful if you could get started on the masonry work for the belly, as the people of Paris care very deeply about honoring the Uncle Buck star's memory.
