Pineapple, orange and ginger recipe
Water infused with pineapple, orange and ginger will bring an exotic touch into your everyday life. Pineapples are rich in thiamin, which is one of the B group vitamins. It takes part in energy production. Pineapples also contain a lot of vitamin C that regulates blood pressure. And ginger assists the absorption of nutrients and strengthens the immune system.
8 cubes of fresh pineapple
4 orange slices
1 slice of ginger
– Cut the pineapple into cubes;
– Cut the orange into slices (without the skin);
– Cut a slice of ginger;
– Put ingredients into the infusion basket and screw the infusion basked lid on;
– Fill 80% of your Minglemoose infused water bottle with cold water;
– Insert the infusion basket and screw the lid on tightly;
– Make sure the lid is screwed properly and then shake your Minglemoose bottle for better infusion;
– If you are aiming for maximum infusion of taste and vitamins, leave your Minglemoose bottle overnight in the fridge.

When you think bachelor party, you probably think immediately of Vegas – and not just because of The Hangover. Las Vegas has been setting the scene for countless bachelor parties for years – heck, it's practically a man's rite of passage into married life. And if it's your last time together as crazy, irresponsible bachelors, what better way to send off your best friend than a wild Vegas weekend in a luxury suite?
The Palms Casino Resort
The Palms remains one of the trendiest hotels in Vegas, despite the fact that it's not on the Strip. People in the know are recognizing that you don't need to chase the party around town when you're already where the party's at. In addition to great clubs and nightlife, The Palms has an amazing and diverse collection of suites, and you're certain to find something to suit your group's taste.
This impressive 10,000 ft2 suite is the ultimate man cave, with a basketball court, pool table, 11 TVs, and a full bar. There's plenty of room to party, with space for up to 350 people, and sleeping space for your whole crew (up to 18 guests). Rates start around $25,000 per night, but split between the 18 of you, that's less than $1,400 each for an absolutely epic night.
2. Kingpin Suite
Another gem among the Palms Luxe Collection is the 4,500 ft2 Kingpin Suite. It's about half the size of the Hardwood, and sleeps just 6, but its amenities are no less impressive. Throw a bash for up to 100 guests with your own bowling lanes, pool table, 130-inch projection TV (not to mention the 11 other TVs), and of course – a full bar. Nightly rates starting around $7,500.
3. Two Story Sky Villa
Partying in the heat of summer? Enjoy the best swim in Sin City in your personal cantilevered pool overlooking the Strip below when you book a Two Story Sky Villa at the Palms. As if the views from the pool weren't breathtaking enough, 2 of the 4 bedrooms in this 9,000 ft2 suite have private balconies with some of the best views in town. Room for 300 guests, sleeps up to 12, and starts around $50,000 per night.
Hard Rock Hotel and Casino featuring HRH Tower Suites
Like The Palms, the Hard Rock Hotel (HRH) and Casino is located off the Strip and offers a variety of themed luxury suites with a hip and trendy vibe. HRH caters especially to the guys and girls "night out" groups, so it's no surprise that it's one of the most popular bachelor party hotels in Vegas – they even have bachelor party packages and dining menus available. (They have divorce party packages too, but let's stay on topic!)
This 3 bedroom, 3 bath, 4,950 ft2 main features include a private hot tub (room for 6), a single-lane bowling alley, and a pool table. The full kitchen and space at the table for 12 guests is an added bonus, especially if there is a guy in your crew has some cooking skills.
5. Paradise Tower Penthouse
Not your average 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath suite – the 3,436 ft2 Paradise Tower Penthouse is especially bachelor-party friendly with 2 dancer poles, pool table, and a full bar.
6. Bachelor Pad
If you're traveling with a small entourage, you may be able to save some extra cash for the tables by booking the 850 ft2 Bachelor Pad. It's smaller in size, but doesn't skimp on style, and the dancing pole and 2 private lap-dance booths may come in handy too.
Caesars Palace
Caesars Palace has long been an icon of the Las Vegas Strip, and has made countless Hollywood appearances over the years. Most notably in recent years – the instant classic comedy "The Hangover" – no top 10 list of bachelor party suites would be complete without Caesars Palace's "Hangover suite". If you'd like to stay on the Strip to be in the center of it all, Caesars Palace may be the perfect fit.
The suite featured in "The Hangover" was actually constructed on set for filming (pretty sure Caesars has a strict no-tiger policy), so you can't book THE suite, but it was based heavily on the two story Forum Tower Emperor Suite at Caesars Palace.
8. Tower Penthouse Villas
Certainly one of Las Vegas' best kept secrets, the Tower Penthouse Villas at Caesars Palace are very exclusive, very private (you'll find hardly a mention on their website), very luxurious, very huge, and very expensive. That's a lot of verys – but believe me, it's not enough. With prices starting around (or rumored to be) $40,000 per night, these immense 10,000+ ft2 villas are for high rollers only.
ARIA Sky Suites at ARIA Resort and Casino
The ARIA opened in 2009 and quickly became known as one of the trendiest luxury hotels in Vegas. The suites and villas in the ARIA Sky Suites collection are the pinnacle of that luxury, overflowing with glitz and glamour.
The ARIA Sky Villas are offered in various configurations, with options for 2 stories, a billiard room with game table, a private massage room, a sauna and steam room, a private exercise room, and 36 ft floor-to-ceiling windows. With the golden staircase, you may have to pinch yourself to realize you didn't just die and go to heaven.
Encore at Wynn Las Vegas
Opened in 2008, Encore at Wynn Las Vegas still feels like a relatively new casino hotel on the Strip and, like it's older brother Wynn, is known for top notch service and amenities. You'll find great nightlife, with 3 top clubs including award-winning XS Nightclub.
The two-story, 5,829 ft2 Three Bedroom Duplex is one of the swankiest suites on the Strip. Notable amenities for bachelor parties include a billiard room and a personal massage room with treadmill (amazing views included).
Editor's note: There are a wide range of Vegas hotel suites to suit every customer and every budget. The "Ultimate" suites in this post are likely to be out of the average guest's price range, and in some cases are not available for reservation at all, but only available to the "high rollers" who spend a small fortune at the casino. But stay tuned! In a follow up post we'll be looking at some great bachelor party suites that won't break the bank.

Deep Foundation
DEFINITION 1. Deep Foundations are those in which the depth of the foundation is very large in comparison to its width. Which are not constructed by ordinary methods of open pit excavations.
When Used? In cases where The strata of good bearing capacity is not available near the ground The space is restricted to allow for spread footings In these cases the foundation of the structure has to be taken deep with the purpose of attaining a bearing stratum which is suitable and which ensures stability and durability of a structure. The bearing stratum is not the only case. There may be many other cases. For example, the foundation for a bridge pier must be placed below the scour depth, although suitable bearing stratum may exist at a higher level.
Forms of Construction Most common forms of construction pertaining to deep foundations are: Pile Foundation construction) (more Cofferdams Caisson or Well Foundation commonly used in building
Pile Foundations The term 'Pile Foundation' denotes a construction for the foundation of a wall or pier which is supported on piles. Where Used : stratum of required bearing capacity is at greater depth steep slopes are encountered Compressible soil or water-logged soil or soil of made-up type Examples: Piles are used for foundation for buildings, trestlebridges and water front installations (piers, docks etc ). Advantages: Provides a common solution to all difficult foundation site problems Can be used for any type of structure and in any type of soil
Pile Foundations(contd.) Situations Which Demand Pile Foundation : Sub-soil water table is so high that it can easily affect the other foundations. Load coming form the structure is heavy and non uniform. Where grillage or raft foundations are either very costly or their adoption impossible due to local difficulties. When it is not possible to maintain foundation trenches in dry condition by pumping, due to very heavy inflow of seepage or capillary water. When it is not possible to timber the excavation trenches in the case of deep strip foundation. (strip foundation- spread footing under wall ). When overlay soil is compressible, and water-logged and firm hard bearing strata is located at quite a large depth. When structures are located on river-bed or sea-shore and foundations are likely to be scoured due to action of water. Large fluctuations in sub-soil water level. Canal or deep drainage lines exist near the foundations. In the construction of docks, piers and other marine structures they are used as fender piles.
Types of Piles Based on Function a) Classification based on Function or Use 1. Bearing Piles or End Bearing Piles 2. Friction Piles or Skin Friction Piles 3. Sheet Piles 4. Tension Piles or Uplift Piles 5. Anchor Piles 6. Batter Piles 7. Fender Piles 8. Compaction Piles
Types of Piles Based on Function (contd) Bearing Piles Driven into the ground until a hard stratum is reached. Acts as pillars supporting the super-structure and transmitting the load to the ground. Piles, by themselves do not support the load, rather acts as a medium to transmit the load from the foundation to the resisting sub-stratum.
Types of Piles Based on Function (contd) Friction Piles (Floating Piles) Piles are driven at a site where soil is weak or soft to a considerable depth and it is not economical or rather possible to rest the bottom end of the pile on the hard stratum, Load is carried by the friction developed between the sides of the pile and the surrounding ground ( skin friction). The piles are driven up to such a depth that skin friction developed at the sides of the piles equals the load coming on the piles. Skin friction should be carefully evaluated and suitable factor of safety applied, as it is this which is supporting the whole of structure over its head. The load carrying capacity of friction pile can be increased by increasing diameter of the pile driving the pile for larger depth grouping of piles making surface of the pile rough
Types of Piles Based on Function (contd)
Types of Piles Based on Function (contd)
Types of Piles Based on Function (contd) Sheet Piles Sheet piles are never used to provide vertical support but mostly used to act as retaining walls. They are used for the following purposes: To construct retaining walls in docks, and other marine works. To protect erosion of river banks. To retain the sides of foundation trenches. To confine the soil to increase its bearing capacity. To protect the foundation of structures from erosion by river or sea. To isolate foundations from adjacent soils.
Types of Piles Based on Function (contd) Figure: Sheet Piles
Types of Piles Based on Function (contd) Anchor Piles Piles are used to provide anchorage against horizontal pull from sheet piling wall or other pulling forces. Batter piles: Piles are driven at an inclination to resist large horizontal and inclined forces. Fender piles: Piles are used to protect concrete deck or other water front structures from the abrasion or impact caused from the ships or barges. Ordinarily made up of timber. Compaction piles: When piles are driven in granular soil with the aim of increasing the bearing capacity of the soil, the piles are termed as compaction piles.
Types of Piles Based on Function (contd)
Types of Piles Based on Function (contd) Figure: Under-reamed Piles
Types of Piles Based on Materials a) Classification based on Materials 1. Timber Piles 2. Concrete Piles 3. Composite Piles 4. Steel Piles 5. Sand Piles
Types of Piles Based on Materials (contd) 1. Timber Piles: Transmission of load takes place by the frictional resistance of ground and the pile surface. Economical to support light structure. Piles made from timber of tree like Sal, Teak, Deodar, Babul, Khair etc. Khair piles can stand action of sea water and thus used for marine works. May be circular, square in x-section. Piles are driven with the help of pile driving machine in which drop hammers delivers blows on the pile head. Brooming of pile head is prevented by providing an iron ring of less than 25mm in diameter than the pile head at the pile top.
Types of Piles Based on Materials (contd) 1. Timber Piles: To facilitate driving, the lower end is pointed and provided with a cast iron conical shoe. Piles should not be spaced less than 60 cm center to center, the best spacing is 90 cm c/c. closer spacing destroys frictional resistance. Max load should not exceed 20 tonnes. Piles are subjected to decay for alternate dry and wet condition (on account of variation of ground water level) As such , timber piles are cut a little below the lowest water-mark and capped with concrete, steel grillage, stone or timber. If timber capping is used, the cap should be permanently under water. Diameter varies from 30 to 50cm. Length should not be more than 20 times the least sectional dimension.
Types of Piles Based on Materials (contd) Advantages of Timber Piles: Economical where timber is easily available. Can be driven rapidly & as such saves time. Because of elasticity, timber piles are recommended for sites subjected to unusual lateral forces e.g. ship, ferry terminals. Do not need heavy machinery and elaborate technical supervision. Being light, they can be easily handled. They can be easily withdrawn if needed.
Types of Piles Based on Materials (contd) Disadvantages of Timber Piles: Timber piles must be cut off below the permanent ground water level to prevent decay. Liable to decay or deteriorate by salt water/insects. Restricted length. It is rather difficult to procure piles in required size and length. Low bearing capacity. They are not very durable unless suitably treated. It is difficult or rather impossible to drive these piles into hard stratum
Types of Piles Based on Materials (contd)
Types of Piles Based on Materials (contd) Figure: Timber Pile
Types of Concrete Piles Concrete Piles are of 3 types: Pre-cast Piles Cast in situ Piles Prestressed Concrete Piles
Concrete Piles ( contd) Pre-cast Piles: Reinforced concrete piles, molded in circular, square, rectangular or octagonal form. Cast and cured in the casting yard, then transported to the site of driving. If space available it can be cast and cured near the work site. Driven in similar manner as timber piles with the help of piles drivers. Diameter normally varies from 35cm to 65cm, length varies from 4.5m to 30m.
Concrete Piles ( contd) Pre-cast Piles: Function of reinforcement in a pre-cast pile is to resist the stresses during handling, driving and final loading on the pile rather than strengthen the pile to act as a column. Longitudinal reinforcements usually 20mm to 50mm in diameter, stirrups 6mm to 10mm in dia. For 90 cm length at head and toe, stirrups spacing is 8cm c/c and for remaining intermediate length it is about 30cm c/c. Circular piles are seldom tapered. When tapered piles length is restricted to 12m. A concrete cover of 5cm is maintained throughout, over the main steel bars.
Concrete Piles ( contd) Advantages of Pre-cast Piles: Very effective Simple quality control Improves the entire area Disadvantages of Pre-cast Piles: Limited in length Difficult to transport Not suitable for densely built up area Requires costly equipment
Concrete Piles ( contd)
Concrete Piles ( contd) Cast-in-Situ Piles: Cast in position inside the ground. First of all a bore is dug by driving a casing pipe into the ground. Then the soil from the casing is jetted out and filled with cement concrete after placing necessary reinforcement in it. Cast-in-situ piles are of two types: I. Cased Cast-in-Situ Piles: metallic shell is left inside the ground along with the core II. Uncased Cast-in-Situ Piles: metallic shell is withdrawn
Concrete Piles ( contd) Advantages of Cast-in-Situ Concrete Piles: Not limited in length Can be cast at any place Requires less equipment Cost is less and is depended on the size Disadvantages of Cast-in-Situ Concrete Piles: Quality control is difficult Load carrying is mostly done through end bearing only Skin frictional resistance is very low.
Concrete Piles ( contd) Figure: Cast-in-Situ Pile
Concrete Piles ( contd) Advantages of Concrete piles: Durability is independent of ground water level. For large size and greater bearing power number of piles required is much less. Can be cast to any length, size or shape. Can be used to marine work without any treatment. Material required for manufacture is easily obtainable. Concrete piles can be monolithically bonded into pile cap which is not possible in wooden piles.
Concrete Piles ( contd) Disadvantages of Concrete piles: Costlier than timber piles. Can not be driven rapidly. Required elaborate tech supervision and heavy driving machines. Must be reinforced to withstand handling stresses.
Concrete Piles ( contd) Prestressed Concrete Piles The greatest disadvantage of large weightt and difficulty in handling of pre-cast pile is eliminated by prestressed concrete piles. The weight is reduced by casting 200mm to 300mm diameter fiber tubes inside the piles at the time of concreting. The pre tensioning cables are subjected to required pull (tension) in the casting bed. The fiber tube is held in position inside the form work and the piles reinforced with pre stressed cables are concreted in a row.
Concrete Piles ( contd) Prestressed Concrete Piles Prestressed concrete piles are provided with lifting hooks at 1/5th ( 0.2L, L= length of pile ) of pile length from each end. Piles length 50 times the thickness →single point pick up More than 50 times the thickness →two point pick up at 0.2L from either end. Piles 500 sq. mm and smaller→ cast solid. Piles over 500 sq. mm may be cast with 200mm to 300mm cored hole (void). Pre stressed piles are always pre- cast.
Concrete Piles ( contd) Advantages of Prestressed Concrete Piles It has greater ability to withstand extremely hard driving. It is more durable in sea water because of absence of crack. It has greater column capacity. It has lesser handling costs because of light weight. It requires lesser pick-up points. It has larger moment of inertia than the conventional piles of same dimension since the concrete is all in compression.
Composite Piles (contd) Piles of two different materials are driven one over the other, so as to enable them to act together to perform the function of a single pile. This type of composite pile is used with the object of achieving economy in the cost of piling work.
Composite Piles
Selection of Type of Pile The nature of the ground, where piling operation is to be carried out, determines to a large extent the choice of type of pile to be used. In addition, the other important factors which must be considered in this regard are: The nature of the structure. Loading conditions. Elevation of the ground water level with respect to the pile cap. Probable length of pile required. Availability of materials and equipment. Factors which may cause deterioration of pile. Probable cost of pile.
Causes of Failure of Piles Load on the pile is more than the designed load. Defective workmanship during casting of the pile. Displacement of reinforcement during casting. Bearing pile resting on a soft strata. Improper classification of soil. Improper choice of the type of pile. Insufficient reinforcement in the pile. Decay of timber piles due to attack by insects. Buckling of piles due to inadequate lateral support. Defective method adopted for driving the pile. Incorrect assessment of the bearing capacity of the pile. Lateral forces not considered in the design of piles.
Pile Driving I. II. III. IV. By Drop Hammer. By Steam Hammer. By Water Jets (Wash Boring ). By Boring (Auger Boring).
Cof ferdams Cofferdams may be defined as a temporary structure constructed in a river or a lake or any other water bearing surface for excluding water form a given site to enable the building operation to be performed on dry surface. Cofferdams may be divided into the following category based on the materials used during construction: Earthier cofferdam. Rock fill cofferdam. Single-walled cofferdam. Double-walled cofferdam. Crib V Cellular cofferdam.(Circular or diaphragm type)
Earthen Cofferdams It essentially consists of an earthen embankment built around the area to be enclosed. It is constructed where the depth of the water is not much and the velocity of the current is very low. The top width of the embankment is not less than 1 m and the slopes vary from 1:1.5 to 1:2. The earth used to built these cofferdams is a mixture od clay and sand or clay and gravel
Rockfill Cofferdam If the depth of water to be retained by the embankment of cofferdam is of order of 1.8 to 3 m, stone or rubble is used for the embankment. The stones are assembled in a required shape and the voids ae partially fillled with earth and stone chips.
Single walled Cofferdams This type of cofferdam is used in places where the area to be enclosed is very small and he depth of water is more, say 4.5 to 6m. Timber piles known as guide piles are first driven in to the river bed. Longitudinal runners called wales are then bolted to these at suitable distance apart. Steel or wooden sheet piles are then driven into the river bed along the wales and secured to them by bolts. To increase the stability the sheets on two faces are braced by trussed arrangement of struts.
Double walled Cofferdam For cofferdams required to enclose large areas in deep waters, single-walled type becomes uneconomical as large sections of struts would be necessary to resist water, so double walled cofferdams are used. Their construction is similar except instead of one wall two walls with a gap in between is used. This can be used for waters with a depth of upto 12 m. The thickness of the water is equal to the depth of water when it is 3m, and 3m plus half the depth of water if it is more.
Crib Cofferdam In deep waters where it is difficult to insert the sheet piles or guide piles into the hard bed below, Crib cofferdam is used. A crib is a framework of horizontal timbers installed in alternate courses to form pockets which can be filled with earth and stones. The size of the crib depends on the depth of water and the velocity of water flow. The crib is constructed on ground and then floated to the water surface. Sand and other loose material overlying the impervious hard bed is dredged out and the crib sunk to the bed. The space inside the crib is filled with stone or other materials to make it stable against sliding and overturning. Timber and steel sheet piles are then driven around the crib.
Cellular Cofferdam When he height of the water is from 18 to 21 m, this type is used to dewater the large areas. They are commonly used during the construction of marine structures like dams, whares etc. They are constructed by driving straight web sheet piles arranged in form of a series of inter connected cells. Finally the cells are filled with clay to make them stable. The two common shapes of cellular cofferdams are: a) Circular type b) Diaphragm type
Caissons Caissons are water light structures made up of wood, steel or reinforced concrete, constructed in connection with excavation for foundations of bridges, piers, abutments in river and lake dock structure fore shore protection etc. The caisson remains in its pose and ultimately becomes as integral parts of the permanent structure. Caisson can be broadly classified into the following three types: Open Caisson Box Caisson (Floating Caisson) Pneumatic Caisson
Open Caissons Depending on shape they are classified in to: -Single wall open caisson: This is a box type structure with no top or bottom mainly consisting of vertical walls. -Cylindrical open caisson: This may be defined as a cylindrical shell made up of timber, masonry, steel or reinforced concrete shod with a cutting edge and which is sunk by excavating the soil within the shell. It is also known as well caisson. -Open caisson with dredging walls: This type of caisson has the distinction of being emoyed for the deepest foundation for bridge piers, abutments etc. The caisson is square or rectangular in pplan which is sub divided into smaller sections from inside forming open walls
Box Caisson It is similar to open caisson except it is closed at the bottom. Caisson is cast and cured on land and then launched in water and towed to the site for sinking. They are used where the strata of sufficient bearing capacity is available near the ground.
Pneumatic Caisson This type of caisson is closed at top and open at bottom. The water is excluded from the caisson chamber by means of compressed air. The working chamber and shafts are made air tight. In order that the workmen can work underneath the caisson and water may not find its way inside from below, the pressure of the compressd air in the shaft is just kept a little higher than the water at that depth.

Five Thai university students were detained Wednesday after giving a three-fingered salute inspired by "The Hunger Games" to the army-backed prime minister in a daring protest against the country's military government.
The students, wearing T-shirts saying, "Don't Want a Coup," stood up with their backs to Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha while he spoke on a stage in Khon Kaen, a city in the northeast, an area that is a stronghold of former Premier Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 coup.
They raised three fingers above their heads, a symbol of resistance inspired by the book trilogy and Hollywood blockbuster, before police escorted them out. The five men from Khon Kaen University were taken to a police station and then an army camp, where they questioned by soldiers, human rights lawyer Sasinan Thamnithinan said. She said they have not been charged.
Thai protesters used the salute immediately after the May 22 coup, but have mostly stopped amid police crackdowns on demonstrations.
In "The Hunger Games," the salute symbolizes rebellion against totalitarian rule, signifying thanks, admiration and good-bye to a loved one. But Thai protesters have also cited the French Revolution's values of liberty, equality, fraternity, while others said it means freedom, election and democracy.
Prayuth, often prickly with critics, stopped his speech when the students stood, and smiled calmly. "Anyone else wants to protest? Come quickly. Then I can continue with my speech," he said into the microphone as the audience chuckled.
Since taking power from a civilian, elected government in May, the military has heavily suppressed resistance from opposition groups and activists. Martial law, invoked a few days before the coup, remains in effect and bans political gatherings of five or more people.
"Mockingjay," the third movie in the "The Hunger Games" series, opens in Thai cinemas Thursday.

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Milwaukee Bucks have put forth a good effort, but they have proven no match for the Miami Heat in the NBA Playoffs. But one thing that could slow down the Heat's march towards a championship repeat is Dwyane Wade's knee.
Wade dealt with knee problems during last year's championship run, but he still managed to play through the pain enough to get the Heat over the proverbial hump. But Thursday night, Wade was obviously in pain throughout much of the game.
Wade's statline showed something was wrong. He shot 1-12 in the game and recorded six turnovers, but he still contributed in a big way grabbing nine rebounds and handing out 11 assists along with snatching five steals.
Still, Wade said he's nowhere near where he want to be.
"I'm not even close. I'm still able to push through certain things," Wade told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "We played a good game. I wasn't feeling great tonight. I'm not worries about. I'm not going to cry. I've got two days off, so hopefully it'll be better for Game 4."
Finishing off the Bucks on Sunday could go a long way towards helping Wade get closer to where he wants to be in the playoffs. If the Heat finish off the Bucks on Sunday and Brooklyn can come back to tie its series with Chicago; the Heat could have as much as a week off if things fall into place.
Miami has been boosted as of late by the play of backup shooting guard Ray Allen. The sharpshooting star broke the record for most three-pointers made in the playoffs in a career this week. He led the team with 23 points in Game 3 as five Heat players scored in double-figures.
If Allen can stay healthy, it will ease the load on Wade in the first two rounds. The Heat also have Mike Miller and James Jones waiting in the wings if need be in the next few games if Wade needs to rest more.
Still, Miami will need Wade likely starting in the Eastern Conference Finals against the New York Knicks or Indiana Pacers.

Femmecup Reviews
Product Tested by: Abigail Lyes
Product Tested By Abigail Lyes
Abigail Awarded The Femmecup 5/5
I thought the product looked interesting and I was excited to see how it would work for me. The packaging was minimal, simple and could be recycled which is great for this kind of product. The instructions were detailed and showed lots of ways to fold the Femmecup and insert it; I found it easy to understand. The quality of the product felt excellent, the cup was smooth and pliable and it felt like it would be comfortable to use. I felt like I needed a little time to get used to using the Femmecup for the first time, it was ok to insert, I was a bit tense so I think relaxing helps. I don't really suffer from cramps but I have been told it can help reduce them, I did find that I didn't have as much cervical pain which is what I normally get. Once it was in I found it very comfortable, much better than any other product I have used, no dryness. I wore the Femmecup overnight after using it for a few times as I didn't want to leak, it was really nice to be able to feel free at night and I did not have any leaks at all. I do a lot of walking and I was worried that this may make the Femmecup move about or lose suction, but it didn't, in fact it was only when I went to the toilet that I remembered I was on my period!! On the first day of my period when I am really heavy I found that the Femmecup just didn't hold the flow well, it was not full up but it leaked and the suction kept going, so I decided not to use it on the heavy day for now. The cup was totally more convenient than any other product; I have now bought a nice little bag for it as I don't like having the brand name so large on the bag supplied. It is so easy to take it out and about with me, fits perfect in my baby change bag or my handbag. For the amount of time this product will last it is fantastic value for money, it will save so much money over the next few years. I think for me the cup is a perfect fit, its size & length of stem is great, it may vary depending on how many children you have had or how big or small you are but I think it is great. I would definitely buy another Femmecup, it is totally worth it once you get used to it. If the conversation came up I would jump at the chance to tell my friends and family about it. I love it! Overall, totally worth the learning curve & time spent on getting used to it, I will never go back to anything else. Abigail Lyes

Because of the material of the cup I found it quite difficult to use when first arrived. Comes in a handy little bag which is very discreet. The instructions were very clear and easy to read. Personally I was not very keen on the material used for this as found it to be very slippery, but this is a personal opinion. I was quite happy to try the Femmecup for the first time. I do not actually suffer from cramps so the fact this could help ease cramps would not be applicable and I could not comment on this aspect of the product. When this was inserted correctly it was very comfortable to wear. I also used the Femmecup overnight. I have not used this though when playing any sports. I must admit this did last longer than my normal tampon brand. Over time the Femme Cup would be good value for money. As a personal opinion I felt material used too slippery and could be made from a thicker material which was not so smooth and slippery. Love the idea and the concept of the Femmecup, works but just did not like the feel of the material used. Michelle Rowley-Hill
Renee Awarded The Femmecup 5/5
I had never heard of this before and was interested to see if it worked. Packaging simple and discreet. Instructions very easy to follow and outlined how to insert and use. The quality is excellent, easy to use and durable and very well made. As it is so soft and bendy this is very comfortable to wear. I did have a few attempts at first and once you get to know just how easy this is to use it is a lifesaver. I do suffer from cramps, but did not find any difference using the Femmecup still suffered slightly every month, but I am used to that. I have used tampons all my life but I am now a convert. This is absolutely fabulous. I have saved so much money and you can use this over and over again. I have used this during the day, overnight and also when swimming and playing tennis and badminton. It is great, well for me. No leaks, so comfortable to wear and certainly excellent value for money. I have since purchased 2 more and my youngest daughter is now using this too. This has been perfect for both of us, and once you get over the initial trying out period you will feel more confident and amazed at how this little item can be so effective. I have also raved about this to all my friends as when you take into account how much money you spend on tampons, sanitary towels every month you cannot go wrong with the Femmecup. Myself and my daughter will use this always. Thank you so much for introducing me to this it has changed our lives. Renee James – Julie 14 years
I would definitely buy another Femmecup, it is totally worth it once you get used to it. If the conversation came up I would jump at the chance to tell my friends and family about it. I love it! Overall, totally worth the learning curve & time spent on getting used to it, I will never go back to anything else.

What is Trevor Rosenthal's long-term role with the St. Louis Cardinals?
For 2014, the answer's easy. Rosenthal will lock down the ninth. After securing the closer job late last season, he emerged as a late-inning force in the Cards' playoff run.
But for 2015 and beyond, all bets are off. Or at least they should be. While Rosenthal enjoys closing, he's stated in the past his desire to start.
Early in spring training, Rosenthal talked about his situation with Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Starting would be a different challenge. Coming into the organization, I always kind of envisioned that being the end result.
The last time Rosenthal started, he was 8-6 with a 2.78 ERA in 94 innings for Double-A Springfield in 2012. Then he got the call to Triple-A, posting a 4.20 ERA in three starts.
In 2011, Rosenthal had his first taste as a regular in the starting rotation. He struck out 133 in 120 1/3 innings for Low-A Quad Cities. The 4.11 ERA wasn't overly impressive until you factor in the shoddy defense behind him. According to Baseball Instinct, his FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching) rate was 3.22.
Rosenthal had struggled in August, as the 7.12 ERA that month hinted at the strains of a workload over a full season. But he impressed the Cards' front office during spring training in 2012, prompting St. Louis to bump its flame-throwing prospect to the Texas League.
The repertoire is there for Rosenthal to succeed in the rotation. The high-90s fastball is his calling card. The natural sinking action creates plenty of ground balls. The power slider is a great complement. And while he doesn't use the changeup often in his current role, it was an improved offering during his time in the minors.
In a short period of time, Rosenthal has emerged as an elite closer. And considering the club's starting depth, it's a no-brainer to keep him planted in the ninth inning this season. However, pitchers with this type of arm don't grow on trees. It would behoove the Cardinals to find out if he could translate his success to the rotation.
Winning in today's game has become more reliant on a strong bullpen. Still, 200 quality innings from a starter offers more value than 70 innings of relief, no matter how dominant.
Jason Motte's return from Tommy John surgery could factor in Rosenthal's future. He established himself as a stopper by saving 42 games for the Cardinals in 2012 after excelling in October for a World Series winner in 2011.
Motte's a free agent after the season. It's doubtful he'd re-up with the Redbirds as a set-up man knowing the money available on the open market.
Every year, the role is a revolving door. Teams are finding success without a mainstay in place.
Tampa Bay has won 90 or more games in four straight seasons using three different closers.
Atlanta's Craig Kimbrel is the only pitcher to save at least 30 games for the same team the last three seasons. The four teams in the last two Fall Classics each utilized different closers from the pitchers who started the season.
Veteran reliever Edward Mujica had four career saves before knocking out 37 for the Redbirds last season.
Then there's the money factor.
Teams are increasingly reluctant to pay big dollars for closers. The Orioles decided to trade Jim Johnson, who had back-to-back 50-save seasons, rather than pay the arbitration-eligible right-hander a salary close to $10 million.
Rosenthal may never cash in on big-time starter money like Clayton Kershaw. But even average big-league starters are garnering $15 million or more per season in the current market.
Kimbrel, arguably the game's top stopper, signed a four-year, $42 million extension. His biggest payday will come in 2017 when he'll make $13 million. The Cubs are paying Edwin Jackson $11 million, and his ERA was barely under 5.00 last season.
I'm sure Rosenthal is well aware of the discrepancy.
It's understandable to ask where Rosenthal fits into a St. Louis rotation filled with established young arms and a bevy of intriguing prospects on the way.
Adam Wainwright is signed through 2018. Of Lance Lynn, Michael Wacha and Shelby Miller, Lynn is the closest to free agency, but that won't come until 2018. Carlos Martinez could be ready to graduate to the rotation. Jaime Garcia, Tyler Lyons, Joe Kelly, Marco Gonzales and Tim Cooney also are in the mix.
So why mess with a good thing?
Rosenthal could fizzle as a starter. He could get injured. Maybe he'd tire after a few innings, lose velocity. Those issues contributed to former Cardinals reliever Todd Worrell moving to the bullpen in the '80s. He excelled there.
Rosenthal already is thriving as a closer. But just imagine what he could become as a starter.
You'll never know until you try.

Xbox One X Price and Release Date Announced
Scorpio is ready to strike.
Microsoft made many announcements today at the 2017 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, California, but perhaps none was more anticipated than the final details regarding the progressively less-mysterious "Project Scorpio."
Now known officially as the Xbox One X, the new console will be made available in all Xbox markets on November 7th, 2017, and will be priced at $599 here in Canada.
"Xbox One X was created to deliver uncompromised power, ultimate compatibility and design excellence," the company said in its press release. "It's both the most powerful and smallest console Xbox has ever built."
The company went on to explain further what the newest iteration of the Xbox One platform offers:
Games play better on Xbox One X. The world's most powerful console begins rolling out to all Xbox One markets starting on Nov. 7. With 40 percent more power than any other console, experience immersive true 4K gaming when paired with a 4K display, such as Samsung's flagship QLED TV. Xbox One X makes your existing library even better, with better textures, smoother framerates and faster load times, even on a 1080p TV. Xbox One X also offers the ultimate 4K entertainment package with 4K Ultra HD for Blu-ray X and streamed content, HDR support for gaming and video, and Dolby Atmos support. Xbox One X will join the Xbox One family of devices and coexist alongside Xbox One and Xbox One S, and all Xbox One games and accessories are compatible.
Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox, would go on to announce that the lauded backwards compatibility the Xbox One features for Xbox 360 titles would be expanded further to include games from the original Xbox platform as well, beginning with Crimson Skies, and that they would look and play better than before on the Xbox One. Furthermore, "dozens" of games already available for the Xbox One will receive free updates to "take full advantage of the power of Xbox One X" by being enhanced to run in "true 4K," including Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3, Minecraft, Resident Evil 7, Final Fantasy 15, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands, and Rocket League.
"Xbox One is the only console system designed to play the best games of the past, present and future," the press release states. "The Xbox One games and accessories you already own are compatible with Xbox One X, so if you're an Xbox gamer, chances are you already have a library of games that will look and play better on Xbox One X."
For more information about the Xbox One X, visit the official website.

Been listening to my iPod on "Shuffle by Album" mode. I call it "jukeboxing" — just letting it serve up CDs in some random order. Letting it do the work. OK, I am a little more selective than that. I have a playlist of my Favorite Albums; everything that's a) a full CD (not just single MP3s that I've downl– er, obtained elsewhere), and b) that I've rated 3 stars or higher.
So far today I've heard:
- "Fashion Nugget", Cake (played during almost my entire run to work)
- "Ghost In The Machine", The Police (Haven't heard this in ages)
- "Rover's Return", John Waite (No Amazon linky)
Good stuff, good stuff.

July 13, 2009
Copyright © 2009 Ann Wylie. All rights reserved.
By Ann Wylie
The following article appears in the July issue of PR Tactics. Reprinted online with permission.
Think of Twitter as a cocktail party. Spend the evening talking about what you had for lunch, and you'll soon find yourself socializing with the chips.
Instead of sharing the most mundane details of your day, you want to contribute to a fascinating conversation. When used correctly, Twitter can be a lively exchange of information and ideas. Here are three tips for creating engaging tweets:
1. Add value with relevant tweets
Make yourself a resource instead of a bore. Here's how:
• Don't answer, "What are you doing?" That question has launched a gazillion tweets. Just ignore it. Instead of telling your followers what you're watching on TV, recommend a great article.
• Ask questions. Start a conversation. Remember the "social" in social media.
• Focus on benefits to the reader. Guy Kawasaki (@guykawasaki), a member of HubSpot's Twitter Elite, makes himself relevant with interesting, valuable tweets such as "Top Twriters: 25 writers to follow on Twitter."
2. Make the most of 140 characters
Think your big ideas can't be compressed into tiny tweets? One blogger at Pandora's Skull has summarized the works of Shakespeare into 140 characters each. It is possible to say a lot in a little space.
In fact, you're probably already condensing messages into 140-character units. Think of tweets as e-mail subject lines ("Block that cliché," "Turn ideas into things," "How small is small?").
To say more with less:
• Start with the headline
The headlines in USA Today's "rails," or refers, make good models because they're tight, bright and crisp:
– Medicare, Social Security outlook grave
– Money: Oil prices and trade deficit up
– Sports: Ducks, Bruins fight to Game 7
– Life: Keep it short, funny, meaningful
• Then tighten your tweet
– Cut adjectives, adverbs and clichés
– Use a thesaurus to find shorter words
– Abbreviate often
"With Twitter, I have a new use for those 3-letter city airport codes learned back in the day," tweets Entergy copyediting guru Chris Smith (@cswriter). "But will the peeps understand? Chris in MSY."
• Link it to a blog posting, article or tipsheet: Use a url shortener such as TinyURL.com or Snip! to condense long Web addresses. Better yet, ask your IT department to create a proprietary URL-shortener for your company or clients. Not only will that help support your branding efforts, but it will also keep you from being subjected to the whims of free, third-party Web services.
Crafting 140-character messages won't just make you a better tweeter, it will improve your overall writing, from headlines to e-mail subject lines.
3. Have a personality
Social media suggests that there are actual human beings, not just institutions, involved in these interactions. So let your personality come through — your real personality, not your company's PR personality.
• Write a personable profile: Remember, Twitter is a cocktail party. How do you introduce yourself at cocktail parties? With your work title? Company name? Maybe your company's boilerplate?
No. You go for something short, accessible and maybe even a little witty.
• Tap your best writing skills: Smith also writes thoughtful, clever tweets that have the components of a good (although tiny) feature story:
"Today in history: rrrrrrrrriiippp! 50 years ago today, Velcro registered its trademark. On Stevie Wonder's birthday."
• Don't brand your tweets: This is not a press release. So don't do this:
"Verizon Wireless yesterday announced that 'Celebrity Digest' is now available on the CDM 8615. To learn more, visit VZW.com."
Instead, go with something concise and conversational like this, from Verizon Wireless's Ken Muche (@VZWSoCal):
"Celebrity Digest on your cell phone: http://tinyurl.com/rybe6l"
Write tweets that are intriguing and conversational.
But what does Jon Stewart think?
You know you've made it when Jon Stewart skewers you on "The Daily Show."
Recently, Stewart ranted: "The media and the government are not suffering because their thoughts are too complex, they are struggling because they have confused new with good. People aren't clamoring for shorter, more inane chatter."
When it comes to social media, it's easy to confuse new with good. But write tweets that are relevant, crisp and personable, and you contribute to the conversation — instead of just generating more inane chatter.

Write for PR 2.0
Do you want more techniques for how to make your tweets and blog postings more relevant, valuable and interesting to your followers? If so, join Ann Wylie at PRSA's "Writing for Web 2.0" teleseminar on July 23. You'll learn how to craft copy that gets the word out via social media.

Happy New Year to our readers!
2011 was a very good year for BP3 - again, thanks to our customers, and our team.? Our customers continued to invest in BP3 and in BPM, and we're grateful for the opportunity to help customers achieve success with BPM.? We had some great moments this year - we spoke at IBM Impact with one of our customers, rolled out more production deployments than ever, and had our first all-hands meeting.
Our team is the other major factor in our success.? It is a really good feeling to see teammates pulling together to help each other.? The maturity and experience of our team is the best, bar none.? And yet, our team is humble enough to keep trying to get better, to be well-aware of our weaknesses and strengths.? Every day we go to work thinking about how to improve.
We also made the 2011 "Fast 50" list in Austin for the first time in 2011 (covering years 2008, 2009, and 2010).?? We followed up with another banner year - we doubled revenue in 2011, above our expectations.? Without releasing the exact number, you can do the math based on previous publications. ? One can argue that a rising tide lifts all boats, but it isn't so much the big, general, service providers that I see getting traction in the market, it still appears to be the focused "pure play BPM" consultancies that are getting the most traction (and creating the most successes).? This isn't just true in one vendor ecosystem - it appears to be true across several different OEM software vendor ecosystems.
2011 exposed several memes that were circulating among pundits and bloggers.? My summary of our learnings follows each:
- BPM is Dead.? In fact, 2011 has seen BPM achieve more mainstream success (and press coverage) than ever before.? Far from dying, it is still fostering innovation, consolidation, and customer adoption.
- BPM won't do well as the economy improves.? I think we could all agree that the economy in 2011 was better, but not good enough to really test this theory.? I still contend that you can't predict the next economic cycle based on the results of the last cycle - each one is just enough different to surprise you.? This one might be the one where companies continue to invest in process improvement even as growth resumes.
- BPM innovation is over.? I still see interesting innovations happening across a number of vendors-? IBM BPM's chief innovation has been leveraging IBM's software in an environment that still feels like Lombardi's user-friendly BPM environment- versioning and all.? Appian continues to innovate in cloud deployments and mobile BPM.? Isus continues to blaze its own path.? Tibco has picked up Nimbus to add to its own ActiveMatrix BPM.? Activiti and Bonitasoft continue to improve open source options - and Activiti in particular is taking a few different turns as they build out their feature set.? And that really doesn't do justice to the other folks who are testing out innovative ways to build processes - from data mining for processes to using natural language to express them.
- Austin and Texas will fare better than the US in general in 2011.? Based on Novembers statistics of a 6.6% unemployment rate in Austin, I'd say that's true.? It appears likely to drop again for December.
- The Process Body of Knowledge effort kicked off with the aim of being the wikipedia for BPM.? These kinds of efforts take a long time to get momentum and really take on an inertia and life of their own.? But if they can get it going, it should be really interesting for the BPM community.
- We started to hear concerns from within the ACM community itself about its risk of? failure.? In fact, in February, ACM was declared dead by one of its own.
- Simplicity and Experience.? These themes just seem to be driving value in the software and consumer markets right now.? And yet many enterprise software companies still aren't paying attention to these key value propositions.
- There is a lot to learn from startups, which can be applied to our BPM efforts. As startups examine the process of starting, and the process of product development and customer discovery, they're exposing a lot of nuggets of wisdom about BPM, though the terminology and perspective is different.? Moreover, researchers and entrepreneurs are starting to coalesce around a set of processes for starting up companies and developing products.? It is really fascinating to both observe and participate in.
- SXSW-interactive is a monster.? The conference continues to have an impact on tech and social media.? And despite being "too big" every year, it just keeps getting more interesting and evolving in unexpected ways.? The latest transformation seems to be more startup orientation.
- BPM conferences' attendance was up.? Both Impact and Gartner had much higher attendance in conferences closely aligned with BPM in 2011.
- We had our first all-hands meeting.? We should have done it sooner.? Leadership and people are the heart of any business, and the heart of any BPM initiative.
- There were several more acquisitions. Consolidation continues, even as new seeds are planted in new startups.
The future for BPM never looked brighter. And by implication, the future for BP3 has never looked brighter.? We see some really important opportunities in front of us, and we are, right now, making the investments that we think will position us to better help our customers going forward.
We'll have some interesting announcements to make in 2012 as we get deeper into the year.? We have a few opportunities to really improve our value proposition to the BPM market and intend to follow through on a couple of those this year, and we're looking forward to sharing our thoughts about the future soon.

If you are not familiar with the term Microdermabrasion, then you should know that it is a beauty procedure that uses microcrystals in an attempt to exfoliate the skin and draw out all kinds of impurities with the help of some suction.

Here Is Some of the Most Commonly Used College-Testing Terminology
Whatsnextillinois. org, Sources:, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Sources: Whatsnextillinois.org, Collegefortn.org, CollegeBoard.com
Here is some of the most commonly used college-testing terminology.
Standardized tests: These are exams associated with college admissions. Typically, community colleges do not require standardized tests for admission. But they administer placement exams, to sort students into the appropriate writing and math classes. You can also talk to your high school counselor, contact the testing agencies, or visit your local bookstore to find samples of past tests.
ACT: The American College Test measures your achievement in English, math, reading and science and has an optional writing test (some colleges require the writing component). Scores on each section are averaged to give you a composite score. A perfect score on the ACT Assessment is 36. Most colleges and universities in Illinois require the ACT test only for admission.
SAT:The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) measures only writing, critical reading, and math reasoning skills and has a required written test. Scores on each section range from 200-800 points. The SAT consists of more than 20 subject-area tests designed to measure subject-area knowledge. Some schools accept the SAT or the ACT test.
What is the difference between the ACT and SAT?
According to ACT.org, the ACT is an achievement test, measuring what a student has learned in school. The SAT is more of an aptitude test, testing reasoning and verbal abilities. The SAT takes points off for wrong answers. The ACT is scored based on the number of correct answers with no penalty for guessing. The ACT has an Interest Inventory that allows students to evaluate their interests in various career options.
Does it help to take both the ACT and the SAT?
Some students choose to take both the ACT and the SAT, and some test-takers do perform better on one than the other. …

It has been awhile since I have posted on here...but I am still around. I have recently finished two Alice Starmore sweaters pictured below.
I had been proofing for Iris Niebach and here is a picture of her new book which has some beautiful design and also showing you what she sent to me including the tatting collage that is pictured on the back of the book.
Today I am working on y first real wire work. Here is a picture of the body of the butterfly. The design is by Barb Switzer. If you do a google you will see some of the finished butterflies. The butterfly is the focal point of a necklace. I have lusted to make this butterfly since I first saw it.
She was kind enough to share this design with me a few years ago.
I have also been going around to cemeteries while working on my family tree.
