Many varieties of roses give pleasure. The one that is truly outstanding is "Kiki".
This flower is famed for the lushness of its petals and its sensuous colours. The more that it is handled, the more it releases its perfume. The moistness and succulence of its texture make this bloom the most prized of all. It is a pleasure for every sense.
The richness of the open flower contrasts with a small tight bud beside it. That gives promise of other delights which will unfold.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (OTCBB: MDXG), an integrated developer, manufacturer and marketer of patent protected regenerative biomaterials and bioimplants processed from human amniotic membrane, announces the nationwide launch of AmnioFix® Injectable, the Company's newest tissue offering. MiMedx is formally unveiling AmnioFix® Injectable today during the first day of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual Meeting being held in San Francisco, California.
AmnioFix® Injectable is an allograft composed of micronized amniotic tissue, uniquely processed to optimize surgical performance and ease of use. The Company's proprietary Purion™ process retains the amniotic growth factors and cytokines inherent in and unique to placental tissue. The result is an injectable tissue that offers surgeons a clear advantage due to its natural ability to reduce inflammation at the injection site and enhance soft tissue healing. Another significant advantage for physicians is the five-year, room temperature shelf life of AmnioFix® Injectable.
In addition to AmnioFix® Injectable, MiMedx is also highlighting AmnioFix® Wrap for both nerve and tendon applications. AmnioFix® Wrap is another of the MiMedx tissue offerings from the Company's AmnioFix® technology platform. AmnioFix® Nerve Wrap, an allograft from amniotic tissue that is utilized for various nerve repair surgical procedures, was formally launched during 2011. The Company's newest AmnioFix® Wrap allograft is designed for both nerve and tendon repair surgical procedures.
AmnioFix® Wrap is a composite allograft structure of amniotic membrane layers, uniquely processed through the Company's proprietary Purion™ process to optimize surgical performance and ease of use. For use as an in-vivo wrap in peripheral nerve and tendon trauma, AmnioFix® Wrap provides a protective barrier and contributes to the three phases of the natural healing process. . . inflammatory phase, proliferation phase and remodeling phase. In-vivo studies have confirmed that the properties of amniotic membrane help to reduce scar tissue formation and scar attachments to injured/repaired nerves and tendons.
Parker H. "Pete" Petit, Chairman and CEO, said, "During the conference, we are exhibiting the Company's full suite of biomaterial platform technologies developed for use in soft tissue trauma, nerve and tendon repair, spinal applications and sports medicine. We are expanding our presence at the AAOS in order to serve the growing interests among physicians for minimally manipulated tissue offerings that address the clinical efficacy and cost effectiveness needs of these critical areas of healthcare."
At the AAOS meeting, MiMedx is located at Booth 2309, and the Company's team of executives and scientists are demonstrating the many potential applications using the AmnioFix® Injectable and AmnioFix® Wrap tissue allografts. "We are very pleased to be able to take advantage of this outstanding forum for physicians and scientists to gather and witness the remarkable potential of our AmnioFix® technology for numerous medical applications in the areas of soft tissue trauma, nerve and tendon repair, spinal applications and sports medicine," commented Bill Taylor, President and COO.
Joining Pete Petit and Bill Taylor at the AAOS meeting are John Daniel, President and Founder of Surgical Biologics, Don Fetterolf, M.D., MiMedx Chief Medical Officer, Mike Carlton, Vice President of Global Sales, and other Scientific and Sales & Marketing members of the MiMedx executive team.
Throughout the conference, which is being held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, MiMedx is also sponsoring various individual and small group meetings with physicians and scientists to discuss and demonstrate the benefits and potential of its tissue offerings from the Company's AmnioFix® technology platform, as well as its product offerings from the Company's HydroFix®, technology platform.

Mizi Shabu-Shabu
>> Friday, February 1, 2008
The PerutBesi duo celebrated the blog site's 1st Anniversary with some friends today! Looking back, it has been a very exciting year 2007 that we had; exploring new food outlets, visiting old ones, & going on road trips just to relax & have fun!
On this special occasion, we made the decision to try out Mizi Shabu-Shabu, something that we haven't blogged about on our site. The place is often packed with people, & Anne had to book a table to avoid getting disappointed *wink* We invited 3 of our uni friends to join us for this celebration, as well as to have our usual get-together.
The food there was not too bad. Variety is certainly available, though I reckon they could have more! *lol* We paid around RM26 for the buffet 'package', & had a good couple of hours, sitting there for the good food & catch ups ;)
The Shabu-Shabu concept is alike our Chinese steamboat, except that each person has his/her own pot to cook the meat & vegie. Soup will be provided, & each individual can just reach out for the food items that they desire on the rotating 'sushi belt'. It's quite an interesting concept, although nothing that great to shout about :)

On a beautiful sunny Wednesday night in Southern California, Vancouver Whitecaps FC women lost a tough 2-1 match to the Western Conference-leading Pali Blues in United Soccer Leagues W-League action.
The Blue and White got off to a great start, as striker Jenna Richardson capitalized on an early Pali turnover. Richardson stole the ball from the Pali defender and went one-on-one with Pali goalkeeper Anna Picarelli. The Oregon State University striker wound up and buried the shot low to the far side of the net to make it 1-0 'Caps on seven minutes.
The Blues, however, would come out with purpose after the 'Caps took the lead, as they mounted plenty of offensive pressure against Vancouver.
Pali finally broke through on 28 minutes when defender Michelle Pao grabbed a loose ball in the 'Caps half, turned inside the visitors' box, and fired a cracker past Vancouver goalkeeper Gurveen Clair to tie it at 1-1.
"We started extremely strong," said Whitecaps FC women's head coach Jesse Symons. "But their goal really gave them momentum going forward."
The Blues then kept the pressure on, as they looked to put on a show in front of their boisterous home supporters.
They broke through again at 35 minutes, as Lynn Williams worked her way through Whitecaps FC to the outside of the box and put in a beautiful cross which found the head of Danielle Hubka to make it 2-1 for the home team.
In the second half, the 'Caps tried to push forward offensively, but the Pali back four remained up to the task, as they stymied multiple Vancouver runs into their defensive third.
Vancouver's best chance of the second half came off the boot of striker Mele French, as she sliced through the Pali defence and wired a shot low far post, but only to see Picarelli just get her hand on it to steer it wide.
In the end, Pali held on for the win, which keeps them in first place in the W-League Western Conference standings and gives them 31 points on the season with a record of 10W-0L-1D. The loss for the 'Caps keeps them in sixth spot in the conference with nine points on the season and a record of 2W-4L-3D.
The Blue and White now move ahead to their next match of their California trip on Friday night, as they visit LA Strikers at Occidental College in Los Angeles, California, at 7 p.m. PT.
"Tonight, the players worked extremely hard," noted Symons. "On Friday, we will look to have a strong bounce back performance."
Whitecaps FC women play their final home match in their Whitecaps Women's Soccer Series on Sunday, July 8, at 4 p.m. PT at Minoru Park in Richmond, BC. For schedule and ticket information, visit whitecapsfc.com or contact Hugh Hamilton at 778-330-1360.

Seems appropriate. After all, he does idolise Leonardo DiCaprio…
And like Leo, LipGloss ruled over the box office this weekend, proving he can open a film that isn't a high school franchise, exceeding initial estimates, and coming in with 17 Again at $24 million. What's even more encouraging for LipGloss though is that audience members were made up of both the teen squealers AND that coveted female 18-49 demographic.
Indeed my inbox was filled this weekend with messages from many of you, grown women grudgingly admitting to having seen it and being completely charmed by young Zac Efron.
This must be why he couldn't be bothered to take his shades off courtside at the Laker game yesterday.
Bitch… please!
Check him out, with the expendable Vanessa Hudgens, triumphant and smug, trying to front like he's the modern manly man engaging in a little PDA to send the fangirls into new levels of hormonal hysteria. Is he growing on you?
If you can get past the hair, can you get past the shades?
Also re: Vanessa Hudgens…she's not long for his new world. When will he stops finding things for her to do?

LipGloss is the King of the World!
Seems appropriate. After all, he does idolise Leonardo DiCaprio…

Moving Picture: The art of fly-fishing
Mark Domagalski is a purist when it comes to fishing.
And for the avid fly fisherman, the act of actually hooking and landing a fish is just part of the experience that keeps him coming back to area rivers and streams. Although, the Campton Hills man fishes around here, he particularly enjoys fly-casting in South Western Wisconsin.
Angling has been a lifelong love. His evolution into a fly fisherman was born from a love of the sport as a child.
"I used to fish a lot when I was a kid, in the city, in the park lagoon and down by Lake Michigan with my dad," he said. "After college I decided to buy a fly rod and learn how to use it. And I have kind of been hooked ever since."
Fly-fishing differs from spin casting in many ways, but when you fly-fish you are actually casting the weight of the fly line not the lure. Also, the bait is the "fly," which can be very small, most often resemble local insects that the fish feed on.
And when he faces with a fish, which have better senses than people do, Domagalski says it takes patience and the mentality of a hunter to catch it, especially when you tie your own flies.
"It's as if you are stalking the fish with a fly rod and you have to trick the fish into taking an imitation fly," Domagalski said.
So, as a means to an end, Domagalski started tying his own flies.
"Tying flies is a cheaper alternative. It's a good way to pass the time, especially in the winter," Domagalski said. He's not alone in this pursuit, during the winter he meets with fellow fishermen to tie flies.
Domagalski uses all sorts of natural and man-made material to tie the flies which he will use to catch all species of fish. Traditionally, flies are made with deer hair, feathers or other natural fibers. But Domagalski has found it doesn't have to be that way.
"Realistically you can use anything, if you think a little bit out of the box you can incorporate (various materials) into a fly," he said.
Flies are not necessarily as much tied on a hook as they are wrapped. The material is held in place by wrapping thread around the hook with a bobbin. Most fly-tying kits for beginners can be found for around $60, but like any hobby, once you get set up properly you could put quite a bit of money into it.
"It's really fulfilling when you tie your own fly and you actually catch fish on it. It's really a full circle," he said.
Yet, Domagalski says what he enjoys most about fly-fishing is just being away from the city and pursuing fish in the quiet rivers and streams.
"Being out there, being away from civilization feeling the current from the river," is what keeps Domagalski coming back.

Abstract and Keywords
With current rapid growth of cities and the move toward the development of both sustainable and resilient infrastructure systems, it is vital for the structural engineering community to continue to improve their knowledge in earthquake engineering to limit infrastructure damage and the associated social and economic impacts. Historically, the development of such knowledge has been accomplished through the deployment of analytical simulations and experimental testing. Experimental testing is considered the most accurate tool by which local behavior of components or global response of systems can be assessed, assuming the test setup is realistically configured and the experiment is effectively executed. However, issues of scale, equipment capacity, and availability of research funding continue to hinder full-scale testing of complete structures. On the other hand, analytical simulation software is limited to solving specific type of problems and in many cases fail to capture complex behaviors, failure modes, and collapse of structural systems. Hybrid simulation has emerged as a potentially accurate and efficient tool for the evaluation of the response of large and complex structures under earthquake loading. In hybrid (experiment-analysis) simulation, part of a structural system is experimentally represented while the rest of the structure is numerically modeled. Typically, the most critical component is physically represented. By combining a physical specimen and a numerical model, the system-level behavior can be better quantified than modeling the entire system purely analytically or testing only a component. This article discusses the use of hybrid simulation as an effective tool for the seismic evaluation of structures. First, a chronicled development of hybrid simulation is presented with an overview of some of the previously conducted studies. Second, an overview of a hybrid simulation environment is provided. Finally, a hybrid simulation application example on the response of steel frames with semi-rigid connections under earthquake excitations is presented. The simulations included a full-scale physical specimen for the experimental module of a connection, and a 2D finite element model for the analytical module. It is demonstrated that hybrid simulation is a powerful tool for advanced assessment when used with appropriate analytical and experimental realizations of the components and that semi-rigid frames are a viable option in earthquake engineering applications.
Keywords: resiliency, sustainability, earthquake, seismic response, hybrid simulations, numerical integration, semi-rigid steel frames

Mustachioed stunt driver Greg Tracy and former One Direction tenor Tanner Foust set a completely made up world record earlier today when they drove their cars through a double loop simultaneously at the X Games in Los Angeles. Tracy won, mostly because he did a Q&A with our readers on Friday. When will you learn, Foust? When will you learn?
The stunt was put on by Hot Wheels and, but for slightly larger scale, it looked exactly the kinds of tracks we all played with as kids. And then played with again as adults pretending to be humoring our nieces and nephews until they went to sleep and our significant others started giving us that "please stop embarrassing me in front of my sister" look.
Foust, who was second through the loop, barely cleared the ramp. Good thing he didn't hit it. The total stunt looked a lot slower than we'd imagined, which made it seem al the more frightening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your prints on real antique paper?
Some of my prints are on authentic antique paper, and some are on reproduction antique paper. Please read my listings. I clearly state if the print is on actual antique paper or on reproduction paper.
There are reasons I use reproduction backgrounds on some listings. You'll have a choice of sizes, I simply don't have enough of a particular type of antique paper, and I can offer reproduction prints more cost effectively than real antique paper.
Now, there are still prints on real antique paper, just read the descriptions before deciding on your print.
Why do some of your prints have a white border?
That would be for framing your print. Only my reproduction prints have the white border.
The antique paper prints (like the player piano paper, old dictionary pages, antique ledger pages) do not have the white border around the print.....because it is printed directly onto the antique paper....duh!! :-)
Can I buy your prints in various sizes?
Only the REPRODUCTION prints at this time (unless specifically stated in some of my authentic antique paper listings). Since some of my listings are reproduction backgrounds, I can offer them in many different sizes, from 5"x7" to 36"x48"! Again, if it were actual antique paper, how would I get it that big?? Really? :-)
Do you use real antique player piano paper for your prints?
Yep, for my player piano prints, it is actual antique player piano paper!!
I see an image of yours I like but I don't see a listing for the background I like?
You can order ANY of my images on ANY of my backgrounds! If you don't see the combination listed, convo me and I'll set it up for you! So you CAN order ANY image on ANY background!! Easy, right?? :-)

Do you want to make a difference in the upcoming election? We need your help!
The Lib Dems are famously tenacious local campaigners, and we are proud of that. However, one of the most important factors that will determine the outcome of the next election is the ability for the party to hold enough seats.
One of our major focuses at the moment is making phone calls, and we would love your help if you can spare some time. We've done the math, and roughly every five calls we make translates into a vote. With so many tight races in local battlegrounds around the country, every vote we gather will make a profound difference to the future of the UK.
Every one of those calls is important, so we've recently set up a new Volunteer HQ near Bank Station in central London to allow us to make more calls. Join our growing army of volunteers and help us make a difference on May 7th.
If you've never volunteered before, you're not alone, so don't worry. 75% of people who have joined our national volunteer team are new, and we'll have you up to speed in no time at all.
So what are you waiting for? Sign up for an event today!

In my search for a true Gospel preaching church, I've found that many will not even answer my questions, which is very disheartening, to say the least. Mark 16:15-16 makes it very clear that it is imperative that we are believing in the true Gospel of God. Could you please tell me what your church defines the Gospel to be?
I couldn't agree more. No single issue in a person's life is more important than how he responds to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
And no more appropriate question can be asked a church than, "What do you believe?"
The Orthodox Presbyterian Church is a confessional church. We believe we have an obligation to confess before the world what we believe about God, and what duty he requires of us.
Let me direct you to the page on our website that contains our doctrinal standards.
Our standards consist of three documents: the Westminster Confession of Faith, the Larger Catechism, and the Shorter Catechism. We do not intend for these documents to take the place of the Bible, which is the only infallible rule of faith and practice. However, we do believe they are reliable statements of the system of doctrine taught in scripture. Please give special attention to checking out the scripture proofs found in each document.
The seriousness of getting the gospel right is clear in this modern version of our Confession of Faith (7.1-3):
"The distance between God and the creature is so great that, even though rational creatures are responsible to obey him as their Creator, yet they could never experience any enjoyment of him as their blessing and reward except by way of some voluntary condescension on his part, which he has been pleased to express by way of covenant.
"The first covenant made with man was a covenant of works in which life was promised to Adam and, in him, to his posterity, upon condition of perfect and personal obedience.
"Since man, by his fall, made himself incapable of life by that covenant, the Lord was then pleased to make a second covenant, commonly called the covenant of grace. In it God freely offers life and salvation by Jesus Christ to sinners, requiring of them faith in him, that they may be saved, and promising to give his Holy Spirit to all those who are ordained to eternal life, to make them willing and able to believe."
God's offer of life and salvation by Jesus Christ to sinnersthat's the gospel! Is belief in the true gospel imperative? Most certainly! Our very life and salvation depend upon it.
You can use our search engine here to find an Orthodox Presbyterian congregation near you. If there are none, we can help you find a church of another denomination that holds to the same doctrinal truths we do.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

The Mortgage Corner
Fannie Mae (FNMA), or Federal National Mortgage Association, reported a record profit for 2012, a good reason to save the mortgage giant from dissolution, as the banking industry in particular has lobbied for. The government-sponsored enterprise had net income of $17.2 billion for 2012, outpacing profits at S&P 500 companies such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT), General Electric Co. and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK/A).
Fannie Mae's net income for 2012 compared with a loss of $16.9 billion in 2011, the company said in a statement. Profits totaled $7.6 billion for the three months ended Dec. 31 after accounting for a $4.2 billion dividend payment to the Treasury Department for the government's stake. So it can begin to payoff the $188 billion borrowed from the U.S. Treasury to keep the mortgage industry—and so housing—afloat.
There is another reason to save Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from complete dissolution. Their underwriting standards are the highest and have resulted in the lowest default rates of all mortgages. Fannie Mae reported that the Single-Family Serious Delinquency rate declined in February to 3.13 percent from 3.18 percent in January. The serious delinquency rate is down from 3.82 percent in February 2012, and this is the lowest level since February 2009. Its serious delinquency rate peaked in February 2010 at 5.59 percent.
Graph: Calculated Risk
Fannie Mae serious delinquencies averaged below 1 percent until 2008, the beginning of the housing bubble bust. Whereas the average delinquency rate for all Private Label Mortgages today is 6.8 percent, as many of them are the so-called liar loans that didn't require either income for asset verification.
Earlier Freddie Mac (FHLMC), or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the other GSE under government conservatorship, reported that the Single-Family serious delinquency rate declined in February to 3.15 percent from 3.20 percent in January. Freddie's rate is down from 3.57 percent in February 2012, and this is the lowest level since July 2009. Freddie's serious delinquency rate peaked in February 2010 at 4.20 percent.
Banks have been lobbying for years to either downsize or abolish the government-owned GSEs, as we said. But that would be throwing out the baby with the bathwater. For it was subprime lending that created the housing bubble with it minimal or nonexistent qualifying criteria, such as the 'stated income', or 'no income' verification requirements of so-called Option ARMs that allowed minimal payments for the first 4 years, before payments rose enough to begin to pay down principal balance.
Their argument has been that Fannie and Freddie are taking business away from private banking. They have claimed that the "implicit" government guarantee against default of the GSEs has given them a profit edge. But without Fannie and Freddie, there would be no viable housing market. We know this because of what banks did in the 1980s, when Fed Chairman Paul Volcker raised interest rates into double digits.
Banks then withdrew almost completely from mortgage lending, so the GSEs stepped in by creating a secondary market that packaged and sold mortgages to investors—either to Wall Street, or Main Street pension funds. That enabled the real estate industry to recover from the 1981 and 1983 Reagan recessions.
So the banking industry has been very fickle when it comes to mortgage lending. In fact, the subprime fiasco resulted from overleveraged banks taking advantage of soaring housing prices at the same time that financial markets were deregulating. Banks created the so-called shadow banking system outside of any regulatory oversight, which is responsible for much of the shadow housing inventory still on their books—an estimated 5 million homes either delinquent or with negative equity in their homes in danger of foreclosure.
There is in fact good reason for banks to lend again with interest rates still at record lows and housing prices beginning to rise again. A mortgage banking industry has grown around the secondary market, and as long as banks will adhere to the same gold standard underwriting as Fannie and Freddie, there is no reason they shouldn't be generating record profits, as well.

Three days and four different times to catch the best bird hunting and conservation show on the air!
Saint Paul, Minn. – August 11, 2009 – The best outdoor stories are often found in unexpected places. From a wild west pheasant opener, to pheasant habitat helping trout, and a one-of-a-kind craftsman, this week's episode of Pheasants Forever Television seeks out those hidden outdoor treasures! The episode airs on Outdoor Channel this Thursday at 1AM CDT / 2AM EDT, Friday at 7:30AM CDT / 8:30AM EDT and on Saturday at 2AM CDT / 3AM EDT and again at 3:30PM CDT / 4:30PM EDT.
First, Pheasants Forever Television and The Man Afield, Bill Sherck, visit Winneshiek County and the sportsman's paradise that is northeast Iowa. The Conservation Reserve Program has helped restore pheasant populations, and also provided a boost to area streams.
Next, Pheasants Forever Television travels to Ohio and the workshop of leather artist James Acord. Custom, handcrafted art for the fly fisherman, upland hunter and waterfowler has given Acord a reputation as one of the most unique artists around.
Finally, Pheasants Forever Television is there for the pheasant opener with South Dakota's Black Hills Chapter of Pheasants Forever. South Dakota is the nation's number one pheasant destination, but the Black Hills lie on the western edge of the state's pheasant range, which makes creating prime ringneck habitat much more difficult. Chapter members Karl Castor, Terry Hulm and others made it their mission to create habitat despite the arid plains...now see the results!
Each episode of Pheasants Forever Television's also features informative tips, including Shotgun Savvy with shooting pro Ed Prechel, Habitat Habit brought to you by Carlson's Choke Tubes and Gun Dog Savvy sponsored by Purina. Find more information about Pheasants Forever Television at www.pftelevision.org.

– The Vince McMahon vs. Paul Heyman fight on RAW next Monday will likely set up the Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H match at WrestleMania 29. Lesnar is already confirmed for the show so expect run-ins.
– If The Undertaker does commit to wrestle at WrestleMania 29, Monday's RAW from Dallas is a logical opportunity for him to return. One scenario discussed would be The Undertaker costing CM Punk his match with John Cena, and a shot at The Rock at WrestleMania, setting up the match between them.
– There is talk within WWE about how creative is handling Dolph Ziggler's push. While he had strong wins over Randy Orton at Survivor Series and John Cena at TLC, Ziggler has been constantly losing on WWE TV lately. He is still in line for a World Heavyweight Title run but the momentum he had at the end of 2012 has stalled out.
Another Big Angle Discussed for Undertaker's Return, What's Next for Paul Heyman's Storyline?

This is my mani to ring in the new year!!
Somehow all I can focus on these days is Glitter and Shimmer and Bling!! Do you?
So I came up with this blingy number to brighten up my year.
The Base is a Miss Claire shade E135. Its a Rose gold in foil.
Its a very pretty vibrant color. Miss Claire is a Korean brand and they claim this is a "one stroke polish" which I bought in the first place to check if it would stamp well. Nope it doesn't. I had to apply 2 coats to make it completely opaque.
Rose Gold is also one of my fav shades this season. I am searching for a watch in the same tone..any suggestions?
Stamped with Konad Black
Plates: XL B
I did manage to squish the stamp a bit on my lil finger..But it doesn't show at a normal length.
I chose this mesh kinda design as I wanted the base to show through.
I think it'll go well with a grey-black dress that I am wearing for new year's eve and accentuate with minimal accessories in rose gold.
I like'd to wish you all a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!
May you all have a fantastic year ahead!
I also want you to know that I really appreciate your support for my blog!
Starting this blog has given me the much desired creative outlet in my life!!
A BIG thank you!!

Every year a new batch, like evil puss-popping Gremlins bubbling in a public pool, are unleashed into the public's eyes and ears: made-by-television pop-stars in their embryonic stages, could-bes dressed up as gonna-bes, and lads-mag pin-ups touting Cathy Dennis-penned numbers destined for chart dominance, are flaunted about like new must-have designer heels on the painted toes of some own-it-today, chuck-it-tomorrow Barbie Doll with a gaping hole where their grey matter should be by industry schemers and shakers keen on capitalising on any projected 15 minutes within the first ten. Takes breath: and, these plucked-from-Burger-King kids and last-ditch pub-singer single mothers, who tug at a nation's heartstrings like puppy dog-eyed beggars on the streets of war-torn foreign climes on the nightly news, are pulled tight to a collective bosom like national heroes, like they're the ghost of Bobby Moore popping up at the back post to nod a Shaun Wright-Phillips cross in two seconds before the final whistle to earn a 1-1 draw away in Liechtenstein. Fucking hell… Well NO MORE. Kinda.
mobileAct unsigned is on Channel 4's T4 magazine every Sunday, after Hollyoaks has finished its seventeen-hour omnibus slog-a-thon. (Did the gas leak actually kill anyone in the end? I got bored of watching comatose actors acting comatose badly and made beans on toast.) It's another talent show, but – get this – it focuses on REAL BANDS, not manufactured pop pap like that Will Gates fellow, or Gals Abroad With Their Footballer Hubbies. These bands have put all the hard work in already – one has even toured with The Harrisons, which must be like being ram-raided in the arse by the Devil's own rolling pin on a bed of red-hot nails located at the eleventh level of anyone's personal hell. Seriously, The Harrisons. Someone give the unsigned act in question, Beatles-influenced jangle-pop types Gilkicker, medals all round.
Rather that than the actual prize: a one-album record deal including a pair of singles – wow – and a potentially crippling £60,000 advance. Why has not one of the remaining bands – we're down to either six or seven (the mobileAct unsigned website's a little crap, stating seven on one page but listing six on another) from an original audition-level shortlist of 50 – clocked that this is Not Actually A Great Deal. "Here you are, boys and girls with no experience whatsoever of the recording process: 60 grand to spend on your first album." Brilliant! Only, I guess jobs will need to be quit, and rent paid, and food purchased, and bills signed off, and tour managers acquired, and studio tea boys to pay before you get a penny. And there's three or four, or five or six of you. And you'll want to go out every once in a while, get your face in Victoria Newton's double-page spread. Face it: you're in serious debt here.
Which, if you are the next Coldplay / Oasis / Radiohead, is not a problem: Jo Whiley (best bit of t'other day's show: the shots of her upset 'cause the band she told hadn't made it were upset… fucking hell Whiley, did you expect them to jump for joy, slap their thighs and herald the brand new dawn of their failure with a good ol' sing-song about looking on the bright side of life? Up yours Whiley, up yours and your rubbish voice-overs for rubbish albums that no rubbish cretin save Tesco Metro shoppers actually wants to call their own) will fight your corner on daytime radio; that Simon Gavin fellow – from A&M, so it's him you're gonna have to pay that £60,000 back to one way or another – will ensure that your two singles are forced down the throats of people like, um, me, actually (as the Evil Genius and/or Shitweasel behind Bedingfield, D, he knows how to choke his victims into ballad-bombast submission); and Alex James, floppy-haired former bass player in a band whose best songs have dated terribly, will go make some cheese somewhere. I'd demand the opinion of Rowntree, me.
However, if you're the next Northern Uproar, you're fucked.
One band sure to get booted before the final few go on a 'tour' – dates around the country will see our short-short-shortlisted few play second or third fiddle to Kate Nash, some other band, and We'll do anything, us, to remind people we did that Intel advertisement Mercury nominees New Young Pony Club – is the brilliant (comparatively) but hideously named (seriously) Hijack Oscar. Their husky blues had these toes a tap-tapping back on show number three, and they're to be 'mentored' by Maximo Park's Paul Smith in upcoming shows. Presumably they were pointed in Smith's direction due to their predilection for wearing hats, as I am yet to witness one of the grizzly six-piece execute a convincingly muscle-pulling star jump. Shame, as they're clearly the best band left in this competition.
Who will win it? Probably obnoxious up-themselves and self-congratulatory wannabe-maverick all-girl 'punks' The Mentalists (pictured). It's set up, can't you see: they're through to the last six/seven by the skin of their teeth, nobody on the judging panel – sorry, that's Whiley, James and Gavin in case a couple of paragraphs ago that wasn't made clear – particularly liked 'em when face-to-face, and I hate them and their "you've never heard anything like this" Garbage-cum-Blondie-recalling pop-rock toss. Its is drama! It is destiny! And they are getting extra advice from Bedingfield, N, about being girls in the music industry. While I am yet to understand why anything the baby-demanding freak touches turns to chart-raping gold, I live in hope that one day all the cats she imitates being run down by tractors so well will come calling at her door and claw the gobby wench to pieces.
Actually, I want them to win, these Mentalist girls. Of all the acts that have made it this far they're the ones I'd most like to see break down mid-gig, suddenly horrified by the massive black hole they've slipped into as a result of winning a life's worth of residence in the red. In with a bang at 38 goes single number one: it's One True Voice all over again, and really not so dissimilar from Pop Idol et al when stripped to its basics. Acts play. Judges judge. Public votes. World keeps turning. We all get into a steam over something really quite easy to ignore.
Except in this case we are dealing with REAL BANDS, and it's unlikely the winners will be releasing Cliff-beating Christmas singles and stinking up breakfast television with day-of-release promo jaunts around GM:TV and The Big Breakfast. What? Got axed years ago? Chris Evans married Billie "why you wanna play that song so loud" Piper? But she's getting her bits out on ITV2 these days! Amazing…
DiScuss: While there's no doubt that shows like mobileAct unsigned make for decent hangover viewing on a Sunday, just how many bands do you suppose benefit from the exposure? Bad Sandwich were certainly brought to my attention through the show; granted, they're the worst band in the history of amplified music, but still, name known. Are The Bad Robots and The Ginger Bread Men gonna be okay regardless of if they're pipped to the post by four gobby girls with delusions of grandeur? Oh, to see them fail…
BASICALLY: why hasn't this reality TV talent contest bubble popped yet, and why are so many 'proper' bands suckered into losing any established credibility for a few seconds with Alex Zane? I mean, he's a good looking man, but…

Infiltration describes the ingress of groundwater into a sewer system through faulty joints, damaged pipes, at manholes, etc.
Infiltration increases sewage volume and flow rate, making the sewer and treatment systems more costly.
In places where the pressure pipes are placed below the groundwater level and influenced by gravity the volume from infiltration can be very high. As a result, the pump system has to run faster than it was designed to, which causes more wear and tear and higher energy cost.
In the treatment plant, infiltration will have a negative impact. The process temperature can be lowered, which calls for higher demand of aeration and so on.
In separate systems the infiltration can cause capacity problems, increasing the risk of flooding and eventually undermine roads and structures.
As a result of the problems caused by infiltration much attention has been focused on renovation of old sewerage systems.

Simply put, there is life on Mars – or at least that's the most plausible explanation that NASA scientists can put forward in order to explain certain observations in the lab. A robotic mission launched thirty years ago, the Viking 1 and Viking 2, brought soil samples back to Earth and these have been thoroughly tested for the presence of Martian life, and the tests have been encouraging.
One of the packages brought back by the Viking spacecraft was collected by the Labeled Release (LR) apparatus. This sample is particularly interesting.
The ticks of life
Soil microbes metabolize and release carbon dioxide, using up minerals in the soil. The carbon in the carbon dioxide contains one radioactive atom in a million million atoms, but since there are lots of carbon atoms around, there is a lot of radioactive carbon as well. And this shows up in any instrument that measures radioactivity, like a Geiger Counter. So the idea is that if a soil sample emits more than its share of radioactive rays, the chances are very high indeed that there are microbes inside, that are churning out carbon dioxide gas, which can escape and be detected. The detector will produce more counts than normal.
They found exactly that! A control sample was put in to confirm that this is indeed due to some source of microbe inside the soil sample. This sample was baked at a high temperature to kill any microbe that might be present. When the two samples were checked for radiation, the unbaked LR sample clocked around 10,000 counts per minute, while the background was only about 100.
However, this is not true of the other two experiments on the Viking spacecraft. This non-confirmation led to the dismissal of the probability of life.
The diurnal cycle of life
Life on any planet, especially if local, adjusts its living patterns – sleeping, hunting etc. – according to the clock on that planet. Lifeforms on Earth have a 24 hour clock schedule, but on Mars the day is 24.7 hours long, and that will be the so-called 'circadian rhythm'.
The funny thing is that the radiation emitted by the LR apparatus sample also shows this daily cycle. The radiation goes down, indicating a period of inactivity, then goes up again. The oscillation is periodic with the exact period of 24.66 hours.
Joseph Miller, a neurobiologist at University of Southern California, and a member of the study says:
That is basically a circadian rhythm, and we think circadian rhythms are a good signal for life.
No one has yet cultured a Martian microbe. The next spacecraft explorer – Curiosity – which is scheduled to land on Mars in a few days will shed much more light on this very critical issue.
We may not only have company in the Universe, it might even be just next door.
