I'm wanting to get the most out of git and not just be using it as a translated form of SVN. I've read hginit's article about coming from SVN. That article of course though is concerned with Mercurial. Git is distributed and similar, but I wouldn't think it to be the exact same.
Is there any articles similar to hginit to forget about SVN and start over with a Git mindset?

National bankruptcy is a popular discussion topic of late. In light of the global financial meltdown and the runaway deficit spending of the United States in particular, observers are predicting that national bankruptcy is entirely possible. Harvard MBA John T. Reed, for instance, opines that our children and grandchildren will likely "live in a world where America's credit cards have been cut up because our huge debt was renounced." Those who insist this could not happen would do well to look at history, and all of the national governments that have gone bankrupt over the years. Today we'll take a look back at 10 of the best-known examples.
National bankruptcy skeptics like to claim that while countries went bankrupt hundreds of years ago, such catastrophe is out of the question in our modern, inter-dependent world. However, as Spiegel Online insists, national bankruptcy is not "just some theoretical construct." In their article "The Ghost of Argentina, Spiegel tells the story of Argentina's bankruptcy in 2001. There was a run on banks following a collapse of the country's national currency. So desperate and panicked were Argentina's citizens that "many spent nights sleeping in front of the automated teller machines." Eventually, the situation became so chaotic that President Fernando de la Rúa fled an enraged mob by helicopter. Despite all the protests and bank runs, the nation simply could not repay its $145 billion in foreign debts.
An even more recent national bankruptcy than Argentina's 2001 fall from grace was Iceland, which became a casualty of the global financial crisis in 2008. According to BusinessWeek, the cause was a rapidly devalued currency: "the country cannot pay back its external debts, and the Icelandic currency, the krona, has become essentially valueless in the rest of the world." The upshot of a worthless krona was that Iceland could no longer pay for imports, on which the country is heavily dependent. Worst of all, BusinessWeek notes, is that "with Iceland sitting outside the major currency trading blocs, there may be no one with the incentive or ability to save it." Despite going hat in hand to the International Monetary Fund and Russia, the UK reportedly threatened to sue Iceland over unreturned money.
Germany has the dubious distinction of having gone bankrupt not once, but twice in recent memory. The first bankruptcy came in the 1920s as a result of losing World War I. The "crushing reparations payments" (reportedly three times the value of all the property in the country) imposed by the Treaty of Versailles reduced Germany to a state of being "completely, hopelessly broke", according to WebOfDebt.com. Unfortunately, this led to severe hyperinflation of German currency, which eventually got so out of control that "a wheelbarrow full of 100 billion-mark banknotes could not buy a loaf of bread." The end of World War II produced another bankruptcy in 1945, as most of Germany's industrial capacity and factories were destroyed by the allies.
Great Britain
Germany was not the only country to go bankrupt after World War II. Following suit, Great Britain demonstrated that even winning a war is accompanied by significant losses. Indeed, a New York Times article reported in 2006 that the UK was only then making its final payment on $4.34 billion in loans extended by the U.S. all the way back in 1945. To put that sum in perspective, $4.34 billion in 1945 is roughly equivalent to $140 billion today, a sum that was "double the size of the British economy at the time." So ravaged was the British economy following the war that almost all national resources were dedicated to paying war debts for five full years after its completion.
Few developed nations have had economic histories as complicated and challenging as Russia's. Never was this more apparent than in 1998, when the former communist country suffered a financial crisis unlike any it had experienced prior. This time period was also known as the "ruble crisis" because of the ruble's central role to Russia's struggles. Following months of downward pressure on the ruble by currency speculators, Wikipedia states that "Russian stock, bond, and currency markets collapsed as a result of investor fears that the government would devalue the ruble, default on domestic debt, or both" in August 1998. Inflation soared past 80% before the year was out, with many banks closing down and the ruble losing over two thirds of its value from August to September alone. Nor has the crisis been forgotten, with the UK's Telegraph wondering in November 2008 "will Russia go bankrupt again?"
Russia isn't the only country that has been dragged into default by a decline in the value of rupees. In 2008, BusinessWeek reported that Pakistan "faced default on its huge foreign debt" amidst the beginnings of the financial crisis late that year. Remarking on the effects of looming default on the country at large, BusinessWeek states that "electricity goes out for as much as 12 hours a day, the gasoline lines get longer, and depositors rush to banks to pull out their meager savings." Much of this trouble owes to Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves dropping to $4.3 billion (a 75% free fall over the year prior) primarily because of soaring oil prices, which comprise roughly a third of Pakistani imports. Topping things off, the rupee lost about 25% of its value in 2008 alone.
Zimbabwe offers perhaps the most tragic story of national bankruptcy. In 2008, CNN reported that the embattled African country was "in the midst of an outbreak of cholera, food shortages, hyper inflation, and renewed calls for President Robert Mgabe to step down." Unable to repay its $4.5 billion debt and struggling with an astounding 80% unemployment, Zimbabwe's plight eventually worsened to such an appalling degree that one informant told CNN "most areas hadn't had water for at least a year." Yale University's Center For The Study of Globalization reached similar conclusions back in 2005, dubbing Zimbabwe "the world's fastest shrinking economy."
Ecuador is another nation unfortunate enough to have gone bankrupt twice in its history. In fact, according to Bloomberg, Ecuador's announcement that it would default on $30 billion in interest payments was the second such announcement in this decade alone. Addressing the world with defiance and self-righteousness, Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa flatly stated "I have given the order that interest payments not be made. The country is in default." Arturo Porzecanski, an international finance professor at American University in Washington, spoke for much of the international community (and certainly Ecuador's creditors) by calling the country a "serial defaulter." "A lot of other countries have had one or two defaults", Porzecanski explains, "but Ecuador tops them all." All told, the South American country has gone bankrupt six times since its 1830 separation from Gran Colombia.
In an article entitled Can European Countries Really Go Bankrupt?, the San Francisco Sentinel uses pre-twentieth century France as an object lesson. As the Sentinel reminds us, "France became insolvent eight times" between 1500 and 1800. While it is tempting to dismiss such long-ago events as irrelevant to modern considerations, we should remember France's place in the world during those times. Because the United States either did not exist or was still forming from 1500-1800, France (along with England) was one of the world's foremost superpowers. Indeed, it was largely France's exorbitant financial support for the American War of Independence that made the country "so deeply in debt as to be effectively bankrupt" in the late 1700′s, according toWikipedia.
The same San Francisco Sentinel piece names Spain as another national familiar with bankruptcy, having defaulted on its financial obligations seven times during the 19th century alone. In fact, Wikipedia reports that Spain was actually the first sovereign nation in history to declare bankruptcy, doing so as far back as 1557. It should be noted that Spanish King Phillip II "had to declare four state bankruptcies" during his time on the throne: 1557, 1560, 1575 and 1596. Such stories are sobering reminders that national bankruptcy is very much real, and has happened repeatedly throughout history to nations that fail to take proper precautions.

Do it again.
Not only is that the challenge of the Oklahoma women tonight at Lloyd Noble Center, but it's the challenge of their opponent, TCU, too.
The Horned Frogs (12-6, 3-3 Big 12) are riding one of their biggest wins in recent program history, having knocked off Texas earlier this week in Austin.
Meanwhile, the Sooners (12-7, 3-3) finally won the game they hadn't been able to win all season when they knocked off No. 20 Iowa State, emphatically even, 75-54, Tuesday night at Hilton Coliseum.
So, when the two teams tip off at 7 this evening, it might be worth remembering that everything OU believes it's bringing into the contest, TCU might think it's bringing, too.
About that …
"It was really nice to see the players after the game, to see them enjoy the fruits of their efforts, and they earned it," OU coach Sherri Coale said of Tuesday night. "They played with great energy and they found out that that energy comes back to you, and maybe therein lies the lesson."
Coale gave the team a day off Wednesday and Thursday, the first practice after the win, and said she could see a before-and-after difference with her team.
"Every pass didn't seem so life or death," she said. "Every shot didn't feel so heavy."
At Iowa State, OU shot 47.6 percent (30 of 63), held the Cyclones to 31.5 percent (17 of 54) from the field, got 50-percent shooting and 21 points from leading scorer, senior shooting guard Aaryn Ellenberg, while senior point guard Morgan Hook, senior center Nicole Griffin and junior forward Sharane Campbell combined for 31 points.
"We came out and played with more passion, I think, than we've played with all year and that's the kind of stuff that we have to do to win in the Big 12," Hook said.
Also, the Sooners committed just 13 turnovers, while outrebounding the Cyclones 43-35. If that sounds like a complete effort, Coale concurs.
"Complete and total immersion," she said. "Not holding anything back, not being afraid to go out on a limb and be uncomfortable, whether that's going after a loose ball or going after a rebound or demanding the ball in the post or taking open 3s or simply communicating on defense."
All OU has to do now is repeat the process.
"It's just choosing. Everything is a choice," Ellenberg said. "Passion, energy, everything is a choice."
TCU is an example of just how deep the Big 12 is this season. Oklahoma State is ranked no. 8, Baylor is No. 12, West Virginia is No. 18, while Iowa State is trying to hold on in the polls. That quartet is followed by a bunch of teams that see themselves as top-25 teams, like OU, Texas and TCU.
Even Kansas, with a losing record, has turned very dangerous lately, stunning Baylor and playing OSU close in Stillwater.
Any team that can put a few wins together can dramatically change its regular-season fortune.
And when you've found a winning formula, the challenge becomes putting it back on the floor again and again.
"The season is so long, you have to prove a thing over and over and over again," Coale said, "to really make it real."
The Sooners believe they can do that. Probably, the Horned Frogs do, too.

We haven't heard any new music from Jessica Simpson in a while. That's because the singer has been busy with her burgeoning fashion career. Say what you want about her music or "reality-TV persona" but you can't deny Simpson is a fashion and style icon. It turns out she's a smart businesswoman too. In fact, just a few months ago experts predicted Simpson's clothing and accessories empire would earn $1 billion by the end of 2011 (one BILLION dollars!). She's also released a line of jeans, purses and shoes and now Simpson is breaking into the big prom market.
The singer recently released a line of prom and special occasion dresses for teens and young women. The lineup includes strapless gowns, tiered dresses, patterned one-shoulder looks in basic black and white, and also bright blues, yellows and purples. The six-piece collection is available on DavidsBridal.com and ranges in price from $139 to $229. This is the first time Simpson has designed for prom. She hopes the line will take off with teens so she can design a new collection every season.

Second shot at Pens for Bruins goaltender Rask
BOSTON — Tuukka Rask will get the start in goal this afternoon for the Bruins against Pittsburgh at TD Garden.
Rask's last start was a 4-2 win over the Penguins on the road last Monday. With 25 saves on 27 shots, Rask kept the Bruins in the game before they erupted for four goals in the third period to rally from two goals down. He has won two of his last three starts.
Head coach Claude Julien confirmed that Milan Lucic and Andrew Ference will miss today's game due to injury. Lucic, however, skated this morning. Rookie Matt Bartkowski, who was recalled on an emergency basis from Providence (AHL), will be in the lineup for the second time this week.
Here are the lines and D pairs as per warm-ups:

Tom Watson, Contributor
I write about social entrepreneurship, nonprofits and social causes.
Sure, the heroine at the center of Brave is a princess, a plot decision met with some derision from the feminist commentariat, which was looking for a more radical lead role in Disney and Pixar's new hit movie, heavily promoted as a movie about a new type of cinematic girl (new at least for big budget animated adventures). But I'm inclined to dismiss that dismissal and to conclude that Brave really is a radical departure for the Pixar hit machine. And to my eye, it's an important mainstream feminist document.
First, let's get this out of the way. Brave is important because it's a big budget mainstream flick – one of the summer's feel-good family hits! – not an art house indie or a film that a dozen film students load into their Netflix queues. Many millions will watch. And many millions of children will watch over and over and over again – as is the habit of children with their favorite movies. That means many millions of boys and girls will internalize the ethics of Brave, just as they did Toy Story or Wall-E or Finding Nemo.
And those ethics revolve clearly around a notion of feminism that dashes away the post-feminist compromise and places – oh, the very radicalism of it – free will at the center of a strong female character's plot line. To put it bluntly, Merida is the first animated princess in major American film history who does not fall in love, who does not act on the basis of romantic motivation, and who does not (mild spoiler alert) choose a handsome mate in the end.
And another thing: Brave isn't triumphalist. It doesn't imagine a young girl triumphing over the patriarchal society of tribal Scotland and dashing away all its conventions. Indeed, the film reveals its beating feminist heart in the portrayal of the choices, and compromises (except on one crucial point related to marriage), and alliances that Merida must make to save her family. Yet her strength of character succeeds over her physical gifts (archery and related cartoon medieval daredevilry) and Merida emerges every bit the conflicted, three-dimensional character that made, say, Woody so memorable.
I think Amanda Marcotte in her American Prospect post captures the fabric of Brave's social bravery best:
A lesser film would have made Merida's plot to out-man the men at archery the end of the story, but this more realistic portrayal shows how individual action can make the situation worse. Only when the female characters start to work together—to take the collective action so beloved by progressive organizers—does actual change occur. In the end, Brave doesn't have much to do with girl-power fantasies that imagine girls doing it for themselves without offering a real challenge to male privilege. But it tells a story that feels awfully familiar to those doing feminist work in the maddeningly complex real world.
There are also themes in Brave that relate closely to our own war-like society, and I don't think this is any accident. As Marcotte says, "We don't get much in the way of imaginative alternatives to our current problems, but we do get a scathing satire that doesn't hold back despite being in a children's movie." What we do get is a contrast between manly endless war and the application of "soft power," that Hillary Clintonesque ideal that fairly ripples through the world of global NGOs, public causes and the increasingly female-dominated foreign service. There is a conflict in Brave between sheer physical force – which Merida sometimes demonstrates – and the force of a leader who holds the ethical high ground, embodied by her mother. In Slate, Hanna Rosin gets to why Brave may make some movie-goers uncomfortable in the same way that female Presidential candidates do:
When the Queen explains to Merida why she can't be rebellious she lists not just generic duties to the kingdom but personality traits which a proper princess should have: compassion, patience, caution, cleanliness, a yearning for perfection. This could very well describe the average ambitious college girl. People often ask why there aren't more women in power. The real answer is that even though women are more successful than ever these days, we hold on to a cultural ambivalence about women with real power. Women can be competent, perfect, compassionate, but not quite dominant.
I think this is partly because we associate dominance with physical force. In the hunter/gatherer origin myth, men control the resources because they have more upper body strength. And even though upper body strength is irrelevant now, we haven't been able to let go of the myth.
The irony of Brave lies in breaking this myth with the brilliant CGI creation of a red-headed princess from a land long ago. And doing so in a movie the whole family will enjoy.

Unfortunately, the story required the Queen, who embodies the "old" princess archetype, for the story to have any movement or meaning. Pixar's attempt at changing the old princess story has done nothing but to reinforce it. The movie proved that Pixar isn't stronger than the genre. We need look no further than the marriage of Kate Middleton to Prince William, and the overall fascination with the event, to inform us that the princess story is alive and well. Sorry Pixar, your "new princess story" did nothing but to perpetuate a genre that will live on, because there will always be young girls who want to be princesses, despite the rantings and ravings of the extreme feminists.
Sorry, but did you just completely forget about Kida from Atlantis, Pocahontas, or Mulan?
I really could care less about any "message" that this cartoon is trying to send. In fact, your review made it LESS interesting for me to watch. I go to movies to enjoy the movie, not learn how to be a better person, more accepting or anything like that. These kinds of articles is like letting Debby Downer in, armed with a soaking wet blanket. It has been the kiss of death for many TV sitcoms and movies, when the audience realizes it's not about being entertained – but someone has "something to say". now, if that was the stated intention from the outset, then that's fine – but don't have me go to an adventure cartoon movie so you can teach me about feminism. When I want to see females doing things just like men, I'll go to an WNBA game – which, btw, is REAL LIFE; I don't need a cartoon to tell me what females can do.
as a girl, i grew up enjoying stories with both male and female protagonists. i'd use my empathetic imagination, and i loved those stories. but the boys i grew up with wouldn't enjoy any story with a female protagonist. they'd call it dumb, say it was for girls.
i'm 33 now, and the critical language has gotten more sophisticated, but the instinct is the same. stories created by women and stories that feature female protagonists are dismissed as trivial, unambitious, uninteresting.
the movie was only boring if you're not willing to use your empathetic imagination to enter a world through a female perspective. sadly, that's true of a lot of people. it's exhausting.
The story wasn't anymore original than every other "girl power" movie ever made.
All the men in the story are there purely for comic relief, don't believe me then compare the character designs of the men and women. There are no "men" in the story only manchildren.
The only villian in the film is a male who'd been turned into bear.
Female character proves she's ten times better than all the men in some activity, in this case archery.
The female character's troubles are because of the demands put on her by a patriarcal society.
Brave in this sense is no different than any other "girl power" story.
What I saw was the story of a selfish teenage girl who deliberately poisoned/cursed her mother who, even as her mother was feeling the first effects of the curse was trying to get her way with her. Upon realising her mother has been dangerously hurt by the poison/curse doesn't ask for help from her father or any other responsible adult but runs away and by pure luck manages to save the life of the mother she poisoned.
The girl should be locked away.
OH MY GOD you had to endure a movie where the characters of your gender were 2 dimensional and far less complex than the characters of the other gender?? Poor thing. Thank god i'm a woman so i never have that experience.
men complain a lot when they're denied privilege. must be hard for you.
it's not pure luck. you dismissed a movie without even watching it. the characters you identified with weren't interesting and you weren't willing to try to experience something through another point of view.

Any reason I should not switch to E85?
So I'm contemplating switching to e85. Does anyone have a reason not to switch other than the MPG loss?
Its about .50 less here in IL so, I don't really see a reason not to try it.
Can I just fill it up with corn juice or should I run most of my tank out first?
Also, does anyone see a reason why I couldnt run the 93 tune on my Predator if I switched?

Well if you aren't worried about MPG loss then i don't see why not. But i would run the tank down before filling back up.

i run e85 in my 2007 classic with no problems. the savings at the the pump about .50-.60 cent a gallon in Indiana it add up to the same as gas in the long run and i get better performance out of e85. to you Q about running it out u dont have to my wife uses my truck and put regular gas in it all the time with no problems. don't no about programmer.

From 2009-10-25

not to steal your post Schaub but is it true that e85 should never get over 3 bucks a gallon? if that is the case then i would think switchin over to running e85 would be a great idea seeing how they are predicting gas will be around 5 buck a gallon this summer. yall are lucky up north though..down here where i live in Georgia we dont even have any e85 pumps!

If you truck is a flexfuel vehicle, then you should be able to switch over with no problems. If it's not, you have to make sure you have sufficient injectors and tuning capability to be able to switch to E85. E85 requires more fuel for proper mixture (hence lower mpg), so bigger injectors are needed. On an 09 I'd think you'd be ok, but cannot say for sure.
If it's flexfuel, you don't need to drain the tank. If it Isn't, you want to drain the tank (at least mostly) before changing your tune.
You will get better performance with E85, as it allows you to crank up the timing due to a higher octane (generally thought around 94-96 octane). This helps you get some of that mpg back through more power, but does require tuning to adjust the timing.1986 Chevy G20 Tow Rig - 5.7 TBI conversion

your welcome for the cheaper E85 (taxpayer subsidies). But it is what it is, so if you have the flex fuel truck i'd switch over, since I assume you have an E85 station that is conveniently located near you.David

Diablos website doesn't mention anything about not runnig E85 so I'm sure it would be fine. I'm sure Diablo thought about the flex-fuel trucks when they designed the Preditor for them. Have you checked there forum about this???

You will see about a 30% drop in MPG when on e85. Snce you're 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline the funny thing is that it takes gasoline to produce ethanol so you will see an increase in the 15% and a slight increase in the 85% ethanol.
Personally, I think it's a net-wash when it comes to energy savings (that's pretty trick to figure it all out, but until we can get something like switch grass or anything but corn then we won't see the massive boost in energy), but you can feel better knowing that you are only using 15% gasoline when going down the road instead of 90% like everyone else.

Sympathy for the Censors
Finding new ways to keep people from finding out new things must be a difficult job. China has taken the lead and a lot of hard working people are behind it.
It's hard not to feel sympathy for Chinese leadership. Acts of suppression must really take their toll on the division in charge of such things. Imagine that poor group of bureaucrats that undoubtedly sit around the Monday morning meeting asking themselves: "How are we going to impress the bosses today?" The pressure must be intense.
Well, worry no more for the fine folks working down there at 'don't speak your mind central.' They have come up with a new way to stop their brethren from thinking about new ways of thinking. Forget actual physical coercion, Internet monitoring, late night knocks at the door--that is so 2009ish. The new target of free speech foiling: Copy Machines.
Yes, the technology that brought you your co-workers butt crack, has now been deemed an "enemy of the state." In Tibet at least, where, according to the Lhasa Evening News, print shops must now register with the government and will be required to take down identifying information about their clients, as well as keep a record of the specific documents printed or copied.
Someone down at the government bureau is looking at a nice little bonus for his worthy efforts.
The driving idea behind the initiative is to go after Tibetan intellectuals who might get the wild idea to publish their thoughts. This method has enjoyed success in other parts of China where those with an inkling to ink about freedom of expression must now do so from a jail cell. But with that "unrest" thing in Tibet and the whole world watching, the folks down at the bureau have to be a bit more delicate (read "sly") with how they handle things.
This from The New York Times:
"Basically, the main purpose is to instill fear into people's hearts," said "Woeser," an activist who, like many Tibetans, goes by one name. "In the past, the authorities tried to control ordinary people at the grass-roots level. But they have gradually changed their target to intellectuals in order to try to control thought."
Man, can you imagine the boss coming into your office one day and giving you that task?
In defense of the team whose job it is to actively supress, I must call attention to the fine work they have done at their assignment thus far. Just on the Internet alone, maintaining the "Great Firewall of China" requires managing a massive workforce of 30,000 Internet Police, actively surfing the blogosphere and erasing unfavorable comments, developing software that cleverly removes the article, but not the actual web page, and a whole host of other methods making sure that you are unsure of what is going on. Fine work being done, yes sir.
Not that there aren't the occasional missteps and ill-thought out measures that fail to find success. Projects such as the "Green Dam Youth Escort." This flight of antsy required that all computers sold in the Republic of China come with software which would allow the Internet Police to, as they put it, "build a green, healthy, and harmonious online environment, and to avoid the effects on and the poisoning of our youth's minds by harmful information on the Internet."
You gotta give them credit for the creative cover-up. Protecting children initiatives always poll well with the masses (just ask any western politician), but this one didn't quite fly. After an international and domestic outcry, the plug was pulled. All computers in schools are now required to run the software, which at least gives a grain of truth to the original reasoning behind the initiative.
And now it is photocopiers. I imagine Kinkos will be holding up any plans they might have had on further expanding into China. Which is really unfair, because Chinese people should be entitled to the same overpriced photocopies and hourly Internet usage fees that the rest of the world pays at Kinkos.
Overall, the situation on the net for the Chinese is not so dire. One can render the firewall ineffective with a little effort by determined parties who make use of proxy servers outside the firewall. So if you just have to get on Facebook or Twitter (both banned in China) to see what your friend had for breakfast, there are ways to do it. That's a relief.

History and background of Jessica Mcclintock
Jessica McClintock, a widowed mother of a young son, arrived in California in 1969 with a teaching credential in hand. Eager to be an educator, Jessica soon learned of a small apparel company known as Gunne Sax. A modest investment soon led to the birth of a premier design house… Jessica McClintock, Inc.
Jessica McClintock, a name synonymous with romance, used skills learned at an early age from her beloved seamstress grandmother, to become a fashion icon to a generation. Before long, Jessica had turned Gunne Sax into an empire now known as Jessica McClintock, Inc. Continually creating new and innovative designs, Jessica has expanded her single line of dresses, Gunne Sax, to a multifaceted apparel company, composed of design divisions that cater to the bridal, designer, missy, junior and children's wear customers.
Without ever losing the primary focus.. romance, Jessica McClintock, Inc., now encompasses a vast national and international wholesale business selling Jessica's designs throughout North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Using the same passion and creativity, Jessica has also expanded her business empire by venturing into the highly competitive retail market with 41 company owned boutiques, and plans for opening more.
Jessica, needing new avenues to express her creativity, established a fragrance division to develop the perfect fragrances to complement her romantic clothing. Jessica introduced her signature fragrance, Jessica McClintock, in 1988. It soon became one of the top selling fragrances in America. The second fragrance, Jess, launched in 1995, established Jessica McClintock as a star in the fragrance business. The Jess fragrance was nominated for a prestigious FiFi Award in recognition of unique and sophisticated packaging. Jessica also created a men's fragrance, Scott McClintock, available exclusively at Jessica McClintock Boutiques. JESSICA McCLINTOCK NUMBER 3 launched in July 2001, and in Spring 2003, Jessica introduced three Gunne Sax fragrances JASMINE KISS, RASPBERRY ROMANCE and VINTAGE VANILLA.
Jessica McClintock has also formed a licensing division. The product lines include China, Eyewear, Handbags, Jewelry, Handmade Area Rugs, Home Furnishings and Furniture.
Jessica has received numerous awards and acknowledgements over the years for her romantic designs. She has won the California excellence award, the California Mart's California Designer of the Year Award, the special 1996 Tommy Award from the American Printed Fabric Council, and the Bridal Information Resource's Retail Choice Award for 1996 and 1997 for social occasion and bridal apparel. Jessica has been consistently named among Working Women's Top 50 Women Business Owners since 1994. She has been granted a Doctorate of Humane Letters by the Academy of Arts College in San Francisco and has received two lifetime achievement awards, and the Excalibur Award from the American Cancer Society.
Jessica McClintock, a self-made woman, continually establishes herself as a major leader in any field she pursues. Using technology, business acumen, and creativity, Jessica McClintock embraces the challenges of the next century.

One stripper of unknown HIV status gave me a blowjob a 40 days ago from now in a strip club. She spitted on my penis without condom and gave me blowjob. She did not use her mouth directly on my penis. I did not think anything about HIV about this. 9 days ago from now I had unprotected oral sex with a female in a strip club. She directly used her mouth on my penis without condom and I also did use my tounge on her vagina. Immediately next day of this, I got very scared and keep browsing the internet about HIV symptoms all the day. I am so tensed all the day, not getting sleep.I read HIV can be transmitted by oral sex aswell and read about HIV symptoms like fever, chills, sore throat etc. After 5 days from my latest sexual exposure, I got fever at the night and chill(my body is shivering in the early morning) and found rash on my chest. Rash went away on the same day. I started scaring more and more now.
I was worried more because, my HIV symptoms may come from my previous blowjob experience. Today(9th of of my latest sexual exposure and 40th day from my previous blowjob experience) have given my blood samples for DNA PCR test and Antibody test.
Waiting with scary for results as it takes atleast 3 days to get the results.
I am not able to concentrate on my work or anything. Not able to eat food because of lot of tension thinking about HIV. Daily morning I am looking at me in the mirror that any new symptoms I got or so.
Do people get HIV symptoms with lot of tension, anxiety or pressure thinking about HIV? Please suggest the best test I can do immediately to get rid of my hell of tension.
PCR DNA test gives me the approx confirmation for my recent 9 days exposure and/or 40 days earlier sexual exposure?
Thanks a lot for your comments.
Think along the line of .5 to 1 per 10,000 exposures with a source KNOWN to carry the virus. Your risk would be less since you cannot confirm your partners status.
Yes, most people who believe they may be HIV positive and read up about symptoms on the Internet become convinced they have all of these. If you'll look back on the previous postings, many have become convinced they must be HIV positive when in reality their symptoms are due to stress, worry, lack of sleep and being overly focused on HIV. They are often very surprised (hopefully pleasantly so) when their test results come back showing that no, they are not infected.
For the next 3 days do yourself a favor and stay away from other sites that discuss HIV while you wait for your test results.
In addition, if you wish to attend strip clubs, bring condoms with you. Not that the oral sex is risky (and your first encounter does not appear to be oral sex but rather more like a handjob) but that agonizing over these events afterwards just doesn't seem worth the few minutes of pleasure they brought you.
Thanks a lot for your reply. I will wait by ignoring all stuff related to HIV. Will post back with my results.
#1.Test Method: HIV early detection by Qualitative DNA PCR
Tests: HIV DNA by PCR
In Range:not detected
#2. Test Method: HIV-1 Antibody by Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) with Reflex to Western Blot Confirmation
Tests: HIV-1 Ab
In Range: non-reactive
Results: NEGATIVE
Can anyone please suggest, after howmany days I have to attend what kind of tests and/or the same test to confirm my results?
Quite honestly, since the risk wasn't there in the first place, no further testing is needed. However, if you remain concerned that this testing was done too early, wait at least 90 days after the last event to get the final testing.
#1. Herpes Simplex 1
Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Types I and II Specific Antibodies, IgG.
Test Type:HSV-1 aB IgG
Result: POSITIVE (Out of range >5.00 H)
#2. Herpes Simplex 2 - NEGATIVE
In Range:<0.90
#3.Test Method: HIV early detection by Qualitative DNA PCR
Tests: HIV DNA by PCR - Results Pending
#4. Chlamydia,Gonorrhea,Syphilis,Hepatitis B,Hepatitis C came as (In-Range:Non-Reactive and Results NEGATIVE)
#5. Test Method: HIV-1 and 2 Antibody by Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) with Reflex to Western Blot Confirmation
Tests: HIV-1 Ab
In Range: non-reactive
Results: NEGATIVE
Could you please explain the HSV1 and HSV2. For HSV1, it is positive. HSV2 it shown negative but found in-range <0.90. It means at this early stage it found and it may increase after I cross 3 months or so?
I started getting cold sore in my mouth but did not see anything below my waist. Is HSV1 and HSV2 danger to life?
You are not infected with the HSV2 virus. The <0.90 does NOT mean it is in the early stage. The 0.90 is the cutoff range for testing; anything below this means the person is not infected with this particular strain of the virus. Your results were less ("<") that 0.90 which means you do not have this strain of virus in your body.
Neither HSV 1 nor 2 are dangerous to life. They are more annoying than anything else.
But I used my mouth and sucked(sorry for my words) her breast and nipples for about 10mins most of the times in that week. She was having some heat pimple(it was not cut or no puss etc) on her breast.
Now I started getting more stress whether I might have transmitted herpes to my innocent wife. I did brush with toothpaste always before I start the sex. Are there any chances of transmitting virus to her? What percentage of chances that she could get the virus?
On her breasts? Not very great. From kissing her, yes. However, remember that since most adults carry HSV1, your wife may already be carrying this virus herself, having picked this up in childhood.
I completed 8 weeks from the last exposure. I heard herpes tests needs some time for accurate results. Thanks in advance

Infection Control Nurse Educator in Rwanda
The University of Maryland School of Nursing (UMSON) is currently working with a consortium of schools of nursing in the U.S., including New York University, University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Texas, Howard University, and Duke University, to recruit several faculty members for the Rwanda Human Resources for Health (HRH) Program. One of these faculty members to be recruited is an Infection Control Nurse Educator to build the health education infrastructure faculty and health workforce necessary to create a high quality, sustainable health care system in Rwanda.
Rwanda currently faces a severe lack of highly qualified physicians, nurses, midwives, and other health care workers. The key obstacle to building the health workforce in Rwanda is the inability of Rwandan schools and clinical teaching hospitals to offer adequate levels of teaching, clinical training, mentorship, research experience, and opportunities for advanced/specialized study.
The U.S. Nursing Academic Consortium for the Rwanda HRH Program has been invited by the Rwanda Ministry of Health to assist in strengthening nursing education, faculty development, and professionalization of Rwandan nursing. The primary goal is to support nursing and midwifery faculty in Rwanda and strengthen clinical teaching programs for nursing and midwifery students. As part of this program, U.S. universities will hire nursing and midwifery educators and clinical mentors and deploy them to Rwandan schools of nursing and teaching facilities. These educators will fill a number of roles at Rwandan academic institutions and in teaching hospitals and clinics, including Curriculum Development Advisor, E-learning Advisor, Simulation Lab Advisor, Educational and Professional Standards Advisor, Advisor to the Directors of Rwandan School of Nursing and Midwifery.
The Infection Control Nurse Educator will be a resource for all nursing and midwifery faculty, the Nursing and Midwifery Council, currently practicing nurses and midwives, and nursing and midwifery students throughout Rwanda.
The Infection Control Nurse Educator will be assigned to the referral and provincial hospitals that serve as clinical placement sites for the majority of Rwandan nursing and midwifery students.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
- Serving as a shared resource and developing a training course for infection control nurses at each institution
- Consulting on developing/updating and implementing written infection control protocols at clinical care sites
- Consulting with faculty members at Kigali Health Institute and the five schools of nursing and midwifery to incorporate updated infection control protocols into skills lab and clinical curricula
- Working with the newly developed infection control nurses to develop in-service training courses for all institutional staff whose responsibilities include patient contact
- Collaborating with hospital administrators in the area of infection control in an effort to attain hospital accreditation
The education/experience requirements for the Infection Control Nurse Educator position include:
- At least 3 years of experience in infection control
- A proven track record as a leader and expert clinician
- Knowledge and experience of public health and tropical disease conditions
- A master's degree or post-master's certificate in a clinical specialty from an accredited institution
- Former position that included staff training and infection control program development
- International development experience is preferred
Other qualifications:
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- Management style that is inclusive and collaborative
- Willingness to live in Rwanda for a minimum of 11 months
- Respect for the experience and expertise of Rwandan colleagues
- Commitment to the goals of the Rwanda Ministry of Health and Rwandan nursing leadership as it relates to strengthening of nursing and midwifery education
- French or Kinyarwanda language skills preferred but not required

Opulent orange flavours dance through richly smooth chocolate to create this delicious hot chocolate with a tangy orange twist!
Whittard's Orange Flavour Hot Chocolate is the perfect drink for adding warmth and zest to any day.
Sugar, Cocoa (39%), Dextrose, flavouring, Salt.
Suitable for Vegetarians,Vegans, Coeliacs & those with Lactose intolerance.
Spoon 3 heaped teaspoons (20g) into a mug or cup, maybe a couple more if you are feeling decadent. Gently heat approximately 200ml of milk and pour onto the chocolate stirring thoroughly. For a moment of true indulgence, top with whipped cream, marshmallows and a generous sprinkle of hot chocolate powder.
I love chocolate orange but this was a huge disappointment, tasted like a chewy multivitamin tablet.
Orange hot chocolate is one of my favourite flavour combinations, however, Whittards hot chocolate fails to deliver on taste. It tastes very medicinal, like orange vitamin C tablets. Won't be buying this again
best orange flavored hot choc ever!! I also use it as a substitute for cocoa powder when i bake chocolate cakes and its totally delicious. I am totally addicted
Chocolate and orange is generally a good combination, but this is much too candy sweet for my taste buds. I thought perhaps it was just the amount used that made it overpowering, but upon further experimentation it became clear that it was rather the proportional balance of the ingredients - this simply has too litttle bittersweet chocolate flavour, and too much synthetic, sweet candy flavour. I think this would be better with dark chocolate, and a real citrusy kick.
First bought this for my son whilst staying in Tartu, Estonia!!! When I visited next time the shop had run out and so had he :-( so, went onto your website, found all the delicious flavours and bought 5 different tubs for various family members. Benjamin was delighted to have a tub of chocolate orange to take back to Tartu after Christmas and as it is a favourite flavour of my husband I got him one too. He says " Luuurvly"!!! :-)
