Relief Systems Design & Documentation
Our methodology is cost-effective, saving you money while providing you with comprehensive, PSM compliant documentation.
Smith & Burgess has the experienced staff to solve relief systems related problems. We can provide relief systems documentation as required by OSHA either from scratch or update existing documentation. Have other contractors told you that your flare loads are above your existing systems' capacities? We can review the design to find possible solutions. Trying to confirm if atmospheric release devices meet current standards? Let us help. Our knowledge and methodology allows us to provide value beyond comparison.
Relief Systems Documentation
Smith & Burgess has provided multiple refineries with relief systems documentation. This documentation is critical to achieve compliance with OSHA's PSM Standard. Relief systems documentation and the update of the documentation may be triggered in any of the following ways:
- Relief systems design documentation Whether the need is for a single unit or a whole facility, Smith & Burgess has proven experience providing reliable documentation that fits the needs of the facility. We pride ourselves in using reasonable assumptions that meet the industry standards, yet don't burden the owners with excessive concerns.
- MOC based documentation updates As the facility changes, the relief systems documentation needs to be updated. Smith & Burgess can provide relief systems experts for either temporary or long term assistance in keeping relief systems documentation evergreen as the changes are made.
- Project changes Large debottleknecking or other projects require relief systems reviews and documentation updates. Smith & Burgess has provided both a check of the FEED contractors work and provided complete relief systems design for processes that are being revamped and/or expanded. Our experts can get every last ounce of protection out of the existing systems allowing a facility to focus funds in the areas that really need the upgrades.
These are just a few of the items that typically trigger documentation updates. Call our experts to find out more ways we can help with all of your relief systems documentation needs.
Atmospheric Relief Device Discharges
Most facilities with large numbers of relief valves have a few that may need further review due to deficiencies in any number of areas. Beyond our experts ability to implement the recommendations in API STD 521, we can provide detailed dispersion modeling and risk facilitation for those valves that need further review. Our experts can also provide a management team with the information needed to make informed decisions on relief devices that discharge to atmosphere.
Flare Load Reductions
Most facilities have expanded over the years and in recent years may have added atmospheric relief device discharges to closed flare systems. Our experts have been called on many times to help a site understand what other contractors mean by their flare is too small. While every system is different and no one can predict what assumptions have been made in past; we have found 20% - 40% reductions in the estimated total vapor relief loads to flare systems as compared to the original estimates from other contractors.
What OSHA's PSM Standard Says
The OSHA PSM standard requires that covered facilities have a documented basis for their relief systems. For additional information on what is expected of relief systems documentation: download a copy of our white paper. Note also that the Action Item Resolution paper provides an in depth look at the regulatory requirements for these items and has the accolade of industry and regulatory bodies. For information on US codes and standards typically applied to relief systems, see our list of typical codes and standards.
Bottom Line
Smith & Burgess has on staff experts that are fully trained in relief systems design and documentation methodology. Our knowledge of relief systems can save you money on documentation efforts and installation costs. We will generate fewer concerns and will provide documentation that is compliant with the PSM standard.

Why, Caroline? Why?! Pundits Speculate
Uncle's health? Saving face? Cold feet? Tell us!
That's the question everyone is asking today after Caroline Kennedy abruptly, and mysteriously, ended her bid for Hillary Clinton's Senate seat, capping off her high-profile campaign with an extra few hours of maddening confusion. While her official statement cites "personal reasons" for withdrawing, which news reports have translated as concern about her uncle Ted Kennedy's declining health, none of the unfeeling cynics of the political world are really buying that explanation. So what's the real reason? Did she find out that Paterson wouldn't pick her and drop out to save face — even as some close confidants are claiming the job was hers if she wanted it? Was she suddenly overcome with the realization that this gig just wasn't for her after all? Nobody, except Caroline Kennedy, truly knows. But everybody has an opinion. Update: Since this morning things have become slightly more clear, after an aide told a number of news outlets that Kennedy withdrew for personal reasons unrelated to Ted Kennedy's health. But a Kennedy insider says that the damage is done, and Uncle Teddy won't appreciate being used as cover. Update 2: The Times and Post are now hearing that Kennedy was derailed by issues related to taxes and a housekeeper.
• Nate Silver wonders if Kennedy "was just not all that into being a senator in the first place." Pressured by the support of her friends and uncle, she embarked on a campaign to secure the seat, but was "nervous, indifferent, and underprepared." Finally something or someone convinced her to drop out, and she probably hasn't "felt better in months." [FiveThirtyEight]
• Jennifer Rubin says Kennedy "was the butt of too many jokes, the public had lost interest and the Republicans were licking their chops." So, needing an out, Kennedy "goes to the bedside of her relative, the noble Governor Paterson leaks a statement saying she could have had it if she wanted it, and New York is spared." [Contentions/Commentary]
• Michael Crowley doesn't buy the excuse about Ted Kennedy's health. Since she'd "known about Ted's tragic brain cancer for months," this seems more like "political cover for her potential failure to get the appointment from New York Governor David Paterson." [Plank/New Republic]
• Steve Benen guesses that, instead of concerns about her uncle's health, it's "more likely that she came to believe Paterson would pick someone else, and withdrew as a face-saving measure. That, or she came to realize this may not be the best idea after all." [Political Animal/Washington Monthly]
• Michael Tomasky suggests that maybe Kennedy "took a little dip in the fishbowl of New York political life for two months, and perhaps she found the waters a little too turbulent for her tastes." Or, he notes, sometimes people do things like this when they know "that something unflattering is about to come out." [Guardian UK]
• Andrew Malcolm thinks Kennedy "may also have belatedly realized the scale of the job and have received a heads-up that it wasn't going to be her getting the governor's nod. And he's giving her a facing-saving exit." [Top of the Ticket/LAT]
• Ed Morrissey suspects that the "specter of losing after making such a public bid for Hillary Clinton's seat may have been too much for the Kennedy mystique, or at least the Kennedy ego." [Hot Air]
• Michelle Malkin believes that "ultimately, it was the regal sense of entitlement that [did] her in." [Michelle Malkin]
• Carol Platt Liebau points out that Ted Kennedy "is part of a family who values holding political office over almost everything else. It's impossible for me to believe that it would have been anything but a morale boost" to see his niece carry on the family's presence in the Senate. [Town Hall]
• Glenn Thrush reaches a similar conclusion: "Wouldn't her uncle's frail condition make her more eager to carry on the family legacy?" [Politico]
• Patrick Appel doesn't know why Kennedy pulled out, but thinks "this is probably for the best." [Atlantic]
• Michael Daly, meanwhile, suggests we make Kennedy New York's ambassador to Washington so as not to sour President Obama on New York. [NYDN]

After losing two conference games earlier in the week, the Peru State softball team bounced back on Saturday to win two Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC) games, keeping them in contention for post-season play.
The Bobcats travelled to Canton, Mo., to face the Wildcats and won the first game 2-1 and then won a wild contest 9-7 that lasted ten innings.
With the two important wins, Peru State improved to 22-17 overall and 3-7 in the HAAC. The Wildcats feel to 15-17 overall and 6-8 in conference play.
The Bobcats were to have played Benedictine College in Atchison, Kan., on Sunday, but Mother Nature had other plans. The games were postponed and have yet to be rescheduled as they are conference games.
On Tuesday, Peru State will host Midland University in non-conference action with the double header beginning at 3 p.m. Currently, the Warriors are 16-13 overall and most recently split a double header with Dordt College.
On Friday, the Bobcats will have another Great Plains Athletic Conference opponent when they travel to Orange City, Iowa, to play Northwestern College. The Vikings are currently 24-15 and have won four in a row, but are scheduled to play four games before playing Peru State.
Then, on Saturday, April 19, the 'Cats will host HAAC opponent, Avila University with the double header scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. At this point, the Eagles are 8-25 on the season and have lost six in a row. They are 2-8 in conference play, just right behind the Bobcats. Between games, the Bobcat parents and seniors will be recognized.

Robins made nine changes for last Friday night's home draw with Blackpool following their midweek Capital One Cup defeat at Hull and has no new injury or suspension problems.
Teenage midfielder Duane Holmes made his first league appearance off the substitutes' bench against Blackpool and set up James Vaughan for the equaliser, so the 18-year-old is hoping to retain his place in the squad.
Defender Joel Lynch and winger Danny Ward are hoping to return to contention following respective knee and ankle injuries as Town bid to extend their unbeaten league run to five matches.

I am just reviewing our dr documentation after we have moved over to a vmware vsphere environment. My question is surrounding the vcentre software and what is the best practice to re-install this? We have two VMware clusters (one at main office and one at DR site both with their own SAN) and the vcentre software that controls these clusters is installed on a physical server at our main office. My thinking in DR would be to re-install onto a new server at the DR suite and perform a SQL recovery of the database. Is it that simple?? Would the server have to have the same network name?
My other thought for the future would be to maybe make the vcentre server a virtual box, that way I could mount a clone of this at the DR site, but I read so many arguments for and against this, so will need to think and investigate a little further before I comit.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

On the sidebar of my site, I have inserted a Facebook Likebox. If you're not familiar with what this is, here's a pic of it...
I've inserted this using Appearance > Widgets > Text.
My problem is, when someone IS a member of FB, AND IS logged into FB, they see this box. When someone is NOT a member of FB, or is NOT logged into FB, they see only a white box, the same size as the Facebook Likebox. In this case, W=240, H=370.
Is there a way to set this up so that if there is something to display, it gets displayed, else, if there is nothing, the W and H get set to zero?
I'm not seeing how this might be done, yet.

The first launch date for Phoenix's much-anticipated bike-share program was scheduled for December.
What came then was a pilot launch for 20 bikes. Residents were told that the official launch would be in April.
But April, which is Valley Bike Month, came and went with no launch.
Tempe has put its program on hold until Phoenix's launch takes place. And launch dates in Mesa, which were designed to compliment Phoenix's, allowing riders to navigate all three cities via bike, have also been delayed.
Now, 200 neon-green bikes that city leaders and bicycle advocates hoped would be filling the streets by now are sitting in storage waiting to be used.
Instead, Phoenix is waiting for a new generation of bicycles with GPS capabilities. The launch probably won't happen until fall.
Under Mayor Greg Stanton, the city has spent millions of dollars on various bicycle initiatives, more than any previous administration, and Phoenix's sharing program is the flagship initiative of efforts to make the Valley more bike friendly.
"Obviously, it's disappointing we could rule out the original schedule ... but we're optimistic for the future," Phoenix Deputy City Manager Rick Naimark said.
Under bike-share programs, bicycles are available at kiosks in gathering places, like college campuses or busy downtown areas. Users can purchase hourly, daily or long-term passes, paying at the kiosks, online or through smartphone apps.
Cities partner with private companies, and corporate sponsorships help offset the costs of the programs. Riders can pick up a bicycle at one kiosk and drop it off at another, or ride it back to their departure point.
Such "multimodalism" — the use of multiple forms of transportation — is one of the fastest-growing trends in urban areas, as cities across the country respond to residents' interest in decreasing their reliance on automobiles.
As downtown areas and urban cores grow, residents from Millennials to Baby Boomers are increasingly navigating by foot, public transit and bike. Major cities in the West actually have the largest percentage of people riding bikes to work in the country, according the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
Phoenix hasn't spent any money on the bikes themselves — they were contributed by the manufacturer — so the delay hasn't had an immediate financial impact. But Jeremy Stapleton, chairman of Phoenix's Bicycle Initiative Subcommittee, was disappointed that the program wasn't launched this spring.
"It's something that's really hot right now," he said. "From a marketing standpoint of our city, the element of being a bikeable city is huge for attracting employers. We're watching a major mode shift from vehicles to transit."
Despite the push and fanfare — Stanton rode one of the bikes through the halls of downtown's Hotel Palomar during their debut last fall at a national transportation conference — the Valley's bicycle efforts seem to be stalled.
The League of American Bicyclists ranked Arizona among the top 10 most bicycle-friendly states in 2013; the state fell to 15th this year.
Naimark said manufacturing challenges with the bikes are the cause of the delay. Longtime bike-share manufacturer CycleHop is designing the new bikes and plans to provide Phoenix with ones featuring the most recent GPS technology. The bikes now in Phoenix are not the newest model, Naimark said.
"We're working with them, trying to come up with a new rollout date and plan, and we don't expect rollout prior to the fall," he said. With triple-digit temperatures, he added, "summer's not a great time to roll out a program anyway."
The high-tech bike-share program's GPS component will allow riders to find, leave and pick up bikes virtually anywhere.
CycleHop also has issues with the kiosks, Naimark said. "We're talking to them about how we can get back on a schedule that works and get out into the community," he said.
Delays aside, city staff believes that whenever the program does launch, it will be well received, based on the successful trial program, said Charlene Reynolds, a management-services administrator in Phoenix. "I think overall, city employees and the citizens are still excited, but I believe everyone understands the challenges of trying to launch the system in the summer," she said.
Plans for a bikeable downtown
Phoenix allocated $1.5 million toward on-street bicycle infrastructure enhancements last fiscal year.
The bicycle master plan funds ongoing capital needs and other requirements to make Phoenix more bikeable. The plan looks at growing the city's bicycle infrastructure over the next 20 years and is in the final stages of development. It it set to be presented this summer.
The Phoenix Complete Streets Working Group developed a policy stressing safe, comfortable access to Phoenix's streets for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians and people with disabilities.
City staff also worked to implement two low-cost projects: greening lower Grand Avenue along the former U.S. 60 between Seventh and 15th avenues, and the continuation of the "connected oasis" plan along First Street between Washington and Fillmore streets. Both projects are designed to make downtown more bikeable and walkable via the city's Comprehensive Downtown Transportation Study.

With the close of the Premier League transfer window less than two weeks away, teams are finalizing their business or making a late scramble to secure reinforcements for their squad.
And then there is Chelsea, still pursuing Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney despite pretty long odds that the Red Devils will sell to the Blues.
But Jose Mourinho and company aren't thick. They are plenty aware that United won't want to sell to another title contender, and that the Blues will need to have a backup plan in place.
Mourinho said as much, via Miguel Delaney of ESPN:
It is understood that there is an increasing acceptance at Stamford Bridge that United will not sell Rooney, but Mourinho admitted they are still interested.
"Nothing changed," the coach said, as he was then asked why the club keep chasing a player despite two previous bids being rejected.
"It is the same reason why other clubs do the same with our players. When you think that you'd like to have one player and the market is open and the official bids are not forbidden, official bids are always accepted in an ethical way, you try because nobody forbids you to try. Of course the players' owners can do exactly what we did with David Luiz and Barcelona. It's simple."
When questioned on whether he has a "plan B", Mourinho quickly stated "and C". Those are understood to be [Samuel] Eto'o and [Burak] Yilmaz.
Both Eto'o and Yilmaz are interesting targets. Each could likely be had, and each would bring something different to the table.
It's hard to see Eto'o carving out a regular starting spot at Chelsea with Fernando Torres, Demba Ba and Romelu Lukaku all available. And it's arguable if he would even offer a major upgrade at forward, if one at all.
But Yilmaz is intriguing. A complete and intelligent forward, he would be able to play out wide if called upon to do so or give Chelsea a target in the box given his solid height. After his 32 goals last season for Galatasaray, Yilmaz proves he has a nose for goal.
He wouldn't come on the cheap, of course, but it isn't hard to see him carving a niche for himself on this Chelsea squad. Given the choice, Yilmaz would be the more productive addition over Eto'o.
But both of these players are probably "plan C," as Alan Nixon of the Mirror recently suggested that the Blues had their eyes on Borussia Dortmund's Robert Lewandowski. One of the top strikers in the world, Lewandowski would automatically upgrade the position and become a regular for Chelsea.
In fact, given his age (24) and his back-to-back seasons of 30 or more goals, you could make a strong argument that Lewandowski should be the primary target and Rooney a backup plan if Chelsea are actually in pursuit of the Polish striker.
Of course, that's probably wishful thinking on the Blues part. Lewandowski has already been tipped to make the move on a free transfer to Bayern Munich next season, so the odds of him joining Chelsea are about the same as Crystal Palace winning the Premier League title this year.
But if there is any interest on Lewandowski's part to move to England, Chelsea must pursue him rigorously.
Beyond that, the market on forwards seems to be drying up. Chelsea could inquire about Michu, but Swansea City seems poised to hold on to him save a rather large bid (as Arsenal have discovered).
And that's why Chelsea's best option if they can't land Rooney would be to simply keep what they already have. Lukaku is young, wildly talented and needs to be given the opportunity to grow with this team, while Torres will never justify what it cost to sign him but also was pretty solid for Chelsea last season.
And on any given day, Ba can dominate. It doesn't happen nearly enough, but he has his moments.
Rather than force a move for a player that won't really add much to the club, Chelsea should consider calling it a day on this transfer window. Sometimes, the best move is the one you don't make.

Good Works Make Great Reading
We should do everything we can to build strong communities. How? By helping those in need, making the effort to understand each other, pitching in to do what needs to be done.
Introducing your kids to books about cooperation, compassion, and service, particularly in this season of goodwill, will teach them that when we take care of each other, problems take care of themselves.
These children's books applaud individual initiative and highlight the amazing feats a group of dedicated workers can accomplish. Some use humor for emphasis, others tug at the heart. Whether they offer a slice of life or pure fiction, each of the following titles proves that good works make great reading.
Raising Yoder's Barn
Jane Yolen
Little Brown, 1998, $15.95
Ages 4 to 8
When lightning ignites a devastating fire, a young boy's neighbors try valiantly, though unsuccessfully, to douse the blaze. Understanding the importance of a barn to the Amish family farm, the entire community helps the Yoders rebuild, raising a massive new structure in only one day.
This personal account chronicles a week that encompasses both total destruction and a miraculous rebirth. Lyrical prose describes a culture in which simplicity and selflessness weave a web of support so strong that tragedy cannot threaten families. Glorious oil paintings capture one family's loss and their community's unequivocal response.
Something Beautiful
Sharon Dennis Wyeth
Doubleday, 1998, $16.95
Ages 4 to 8
When a teacher explains the connection between beauty and happiness, a young girl is determined to find something beautiful in her bleak inner-city neighborhood. After visiting friends and neighbors for advice, she begins to see that "the beauty of friendship and the power of hope" do strengthen her own community. Recognizing that she has the power to make a difference, to create beauty, she embarks on a course to clean up the courtyard of her apartment building.
Luminous, realistic watercolors expose what happens when people don't care and what blossoms when they do.
Fishing for Methuselah
Roger Roth
HarperCollins, 1998, $14.95
Ages 4 to 8
Ivan and Olaf are boisterous buddies whose friendship is based on fierce one-upmanship. Their squabbling peaks during the annual winter carnival when an ice-fishing competition hones their criticism of one another to unbearable sharpness. This year, they have challenged each other to catch the legendary Methuselah, the largest, craftiest fish in nearby Moosehead Lake. Their constant bickering is on the verge of causing their demise, however: Unbeknownst to Ivan and Olaf, it appears that even fish have their limits.
This zany tale's cartoon-style drawings show unmistakably why cooperation, not competition, is the foundation of enduring friendships.
Slow Train to Oxmox
Kurt Cyrus
Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1998, $16.00
Ages 5 to 8
Edwin Blink is in such a hurry to catch his train that he inadvertently gets on the local instead of the express. Now this busy businessman's pace has slowed from fast-forward to imperceptible and there is not a thing he can do about it. The slow train constantly derails, and uses the commuters to get back on track. Finally, when the locomotive lunges off a trestle, Edwin sees how he can contribute and, after a burst of extraordinary cooperation, the train continues on.
This cautionary fable uses tongue-in-cheek humor to illustrate that busy people who assume they aren't missing much are people who don't know what they're missing.
Mrs. Mack
Patricia Polacco
Philomel, 1998, $16.99
Ages 5 to 9
Ten-year-old Patricia is finally getting the horseback-riding lessons she has dreamed about. But the shabby stable on the wrong side of town with the tough-looking kids out front and the crabby old man next door were not what she had in mind. Then she meets Mrs. Mack, whose infectious warmth and patience convince her to stay.
Pat spends the entire summer learning how much work and how much fun having a horse of her own can be. Then tragedy strikes her beloved mare, and Pat, in the midst of despair, discovers that the seeds of compassion bring miraculous results.
Mary On Horseback
Rosemary Wells
Dial, 1998, $16.99
Ages 7 to 11
Newly independent readers rarely get to feast on topnotch drama or biography. This thin volume offers both. Its three well-wrought stories not only bring history to life; they reveal that when ordinary people accomplish the seemingly impossible, they make history.
Mary Breckinridge faced enormous challenges in bringing modern medicine to the Appalachians in the 1920s. Her Frontier Nursing Service is the model for the delivery of rural health care to this day and is a tribute to her generous heart, hard work, and invincible spirit.
Ben Mikaelsen
Hyperion, 1998, $15.95
Ages 11 and up
When Petey was born in 1920, the cerebral palsy that disfigured his body was assumed to have disabled his mind as well. Misdiagnosed as an idiot, he spends most of his life in a mental institution. The deadening monotony of his life is unimaginable. Starving for love, he develops friendships with the few souls who detect the intelligent soul trapped within his misshapen form, but the relationships don't last--at least not long enough for Petey.
By the time he is seventy, he is mistrustful. Caregivers come and go. Promises are broken. His life has taught him that it's best not to expect much; that way, you're never disappointed. But then Trevor, a teenager struggling to discover where he fits in the world, finds Petey. Together they embark on an adventure fraught with possibility: They become friends. After that, everything changes for Petey. And Trevor. And readers, too.
This touching story underscores the indomitability of the human spirit. It reveals that what we see with our eyes is not necessarily what's real; reality is sometimes buried, hidden, or disguised--it can only be seen with the heart.
Worth the Risk
Arlene Erlbach
Free Spirit, 1999, $12.95
Ages 10 to 15
In order to grow, you have to take risks. Each time you succeed or fail, you learn something about yourself, developing confidence in your ability to cope and eventually prevail. But some risks aren't worth venturing, the chance of negative results far outweighing the possibility of a positive outcome. How can kids figure out which risks to take and which to reject?
This handy book explains the process and gives profiles of twenty young people who took positive risks, detailing the problems they faced and what they gained from their success or in spite of their failure. It lists books, organizations, and Web sites to explore, and offers user-friendly advice on how to set goals, take action, and deal with the consequences.
Paul Fleischman
Henry Holt, 1998, $16.95
Ages 12 and up
When Brent gets behind the wheel, he's drunk and upset. His judgment clouded, he decides that suicide would solve all of his problems. But ending it all turns out to be only the beginning. Now to repent for his fatal mistake he is on a cross-country mission to erect a whirligig in each of the four corners of the country to memorialize his victim.
Though he doesn't know it, he is building a community--a group of people all touched by the wind machines he crafts. He is making a difference, making connections.
The power of this unforgettable novel is undeniable. Readers will follow Brent's trail only to find that they end up at the beginning. Rescued from the brink of despair, he is challenged to push himself to the limit, where he finds himself humbler, wiser and willing to begin again.

that always happens to me
Ur stupid (no offense but.....)
She's not stupid. She's not stupid at all. She is one of the best artists I've seen here. So please, shut your mouth and if you really think she's stupid, deal, since no one else here thinks she is.
Well, while you are right she is one of the best artists here, anyone would admit that piercing your own lips could be very dangerous and yes, stupid. And I'm just saying from experience, my friend tried to do that but went just a little two high and she covered her whole bathroom in blood. I had to drive her to the hospital and she currently has two stitches in her lip. You may not think she's stupid but I do. And don't be one of those people trolling on true things. Even Fuki makes mistakes, so you should deal.
Ok, I understand where you're coming from. I took it the wrong way, so I'm sorry about that. But next time, could you, perhaps, word it nicer, possibly? I just don't want other people to take it the same way I did. Oh, and I will deal.
Yeah i will, looking back That was kinda rude how i said that, its just ive learned first hand that self peircings arnt the smartest idea
Ugh. I know what you mean. And plus, I have the shakiest, most unsteady hands in the world.
Oh god yeah, I've learned ito best to just leave to the pros... Once my friend tried to pierce her belly button and it got all infected and green, had to go get the piercing removed and she like could only were crop tops and loose shirts for like 2 weeks. And when I was little I pierced
I wonder if when I get a medusa, if it'll bleed that much? xD
The face certainly bleeds like a biotch, doesn't it? Lol c': Poor Fuki
I hope that doesn't happen to me o-o
nice style!
Yikes! At least you got some good art out of it!
hey that happend to me!........bad day...
Done that way too many times.
Been there darlin lol
HAhaaha. . nie wiem dlaczego ale ten obrazek wydal mi sie przezajebiscie zabawny <niee wcale nie jestem wstawiony> mina tego typa jest swietna a ona wyglada rozkosznie niepowaznie
oooooooo...ah, been there done that!!
I have had these days.. and in the end, the bathroom looks like a murder scene..
Haha, reminds me of when I was in middle school. End of the day, I was chasing after my friend. Didn't know there was construction work being done on the grounds (or there needed to be some done cause that concrete wasn't level, super huge shift in the ground), so I tripped on the concrete, my bookbag swung off my back and hit my head. I fell on my face. My teeth were nearly knocked out, the front one's chipped. My front teeth went completely through my upper lip.
I ran to the teachers lounge bathroom, crying, freaking out, and blood pouring from my mouth. At first I though I lost my teeth. It was eventful xD
For the next few weeks, I couldn't eat anything and eating with a spoon or fork was difficult. Still can't eat apples if they aren't sliced correctly.

I had a day like that. Just sized up my lobes and I dropped one down the drain. It was the very beginning of my stretching adventures so I didn't know how much time I had to find a new eyelet to pop in, and my piercer gave me a couple extras. Little did I know it was the next size, was shaking so bad I couldn't get the little sucker in and I had to have my dad do it. (kind of sad I know) Freaking out at the time but the next day I was laughing about it to my friend.
Something in this atmosphere is really spot-on.
i have black gloves which makes me proffetional XDDD
I laughed really hard when I saw this
It's like drawing comment inception... or something... :l
It's like drawing comment inception... or something... :l
I feel lucky that I didn't bleed horridly when I had mine done, the swelling looked funny as hell, though.
Oral piercings, man...
Oral piercings, man...
oh my... I hope it doesn't get infected~! I love your art~
Well that area of your face does bleed easily. Heck, my lip's bleed for 2 hours straight once and I didn't even do anything to it..
I love this one and followed you on Tumblr my name is Ulquire haha you art inspires me so much I am going to doodle something for you

The Truth About Vitamin D: How Much Vitamin D Do You Need?
How much vitamin D do I need? In November 2010, the Institute of Medicine's expert committee set a new "dietary reference intake" for vitamin D.

The Truth About Vitamin D: Vitamin D Food Sources
Which foods contain vitamin D? Surprisingly few foods contain vitamin D -- unless it's added to the food.

But once your body has enough, it doesn't matter whether you got itRead Full Article
The Truth About Vitamin D: How Can You Get Enough Vitamin D?
How can I get enough vitamin D? Thirty minutes of sun exposure to the face, legs, or back -- without sunscreen -- at least twice a week should give you plenty of vitamin D.

Review: Eva Green gives a can't-miss performance in the crazy new '300' sequel
The first question that would seem to apply when regarding any sequel is "Does this feel like it is of a piece with the first film?" It doesn't have to be the same movie to be a successful sequel, but it should do something interesting. It should either be a response to the first film or a deliberately different type of film or it should build on some interesting story thread or it should enhance our understanding of the world or the characters. By that standard, "300: Rise Of An Empire" is a worthy sequel to "300," stylistically consistent and equally loony, featuring what may well be the first truly can't-miss performance in a film this year.
It would not shock me if, twenty years from now, people talk about this film the way they talk about "Poltergeist" now, simply accepting it as common knowledge that Zack Snyder "really" directed the film. It is so precise in the way it builds off the first film's visual style and so carefully built to wrap around the events of the first film narratively that it feels more like deleted scenes from the first film instead of something that stands alone. That may sound like an insult, but it's not. I would assume Snyder, who co-wrote the script with Kurt Johnstad, probably signed off on every single storyboard, and I am sure Noam Murro was given full access to all the resources that Snyder had at his disposal. It's remarkable how much this feels like it is simply more of the same story, told the same way.

"My wife and I have been to London twice before but our adult children were with us this time and we decided to get the London Pass with the transportation option. It was fantastic. We visited many wonderful sites with which we were already familiar, but we also went to many places just because we had the London Pass - the Royal Mews, Wimbledon, Handel's Home, and more. These unexpected visits were so enjoyable!"

Jessica Long grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, but she is originally from Siberia. When she was only 13 months old, Long was adopted from a Russian orphanage. Born with fibular hemimelia, Long didn't have fibulas, ankles, heels and most of the other bones in her feet. At 18 months old, her legs were amputated below the knees so she could be fitted for prosthetic legs and learn how to walk.
She has been involved in many sports including gymnastics, basketball, cheerleading, ice skating, biking, running, and rock climbing. Long learned how to swim in her grandparents' pool where she would spend hours pretending she was a mermaid.
She joined her first competitive swim team at 10 years old and competed in her first international competition at the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games. At 12 years old, she was the youngest athlete on the U.S. Paralympic Swim Team.

I've stayed away from Charles's post on "pregnant sex" (shorter version: sex with a pregnant woman is dishonest because the woman's body has changed; thus sex with a pregnant woman is close to pity). Fortunately, one of my favorite bloggers, Amanda at Pandagon, has taken up the gauntlet:
From his Derbyshire-like insinuation that his unpopularity somehow bolsters his case that he's right to suggesting that someone getting a Viagra-assisted hard-on and getting off and possibly taking a snooze is a bad ending, this paragraph is a work of genius. Yes, genius at horseshit, but genius is genius.
Well done, Mudede. I know this particular rabbit hole he's plunging down all too well. Or versions of itI've seen some bitter arguments over whether someone is still punk or a sell-out, and then there's the perennial "lefter-than-thouâ and "can feminists wear lipstickâ insanities. But Mudede really does beat all in the authenticity obsessionaffection, pregnancy, Viagra and who knows what else are all deeply dishonest threats to this Platonic ideal of authentic, unencumbered lust.
The more I turn Mudede's points over and over in my head, the more I must reach the conclusion that by his very own cynical standards, there is no such thing as sexual desire. After excluding emotional reasons for lust (clearly, "honestâ lust is all about your looks) and excluding anyone who claims they can feel physical desire for someone who doesn't have "objectiveâ good looks as defined by our entertainment industry and then excluding anyone who does have pure physical desire for standardly attractive bodies because we know their desire isn't "honestâ but a product of their environment, we are left to conclude there is no such thing as authentic sex.

So be honest, was this inspired by the new movie poster? Or the actual comic book cover?

The new center, planned for North Campus, will allow UM to buy bigger buses to transport more students during peak hours. UM's current garage is too small to accommodate the larger buses. For the full story, click here.
Craig Shankwitz will lead the development of MSU's Western Transportation Institute research team that will explore and develop applications of autonomous and connected vehicle technologies to roads and transportation systems in rural areas and small cities, in both the public and private sector.
Campus Area Bus will fuel a portion of its fleet at the $3 million CNG station with long-term plans to transition all CABS buses and other fleet vehicles to alternative fuel models.
While the new program will generate about $2.7 million for the current fiscal year, at about $1 a day for each student during the semester, the U•Pass offers an affordable transportation option for students to travel throughout the region for classes, internships, jobs and other activities.
The19 40-foot buses should arrive on campus in 2017 and are part of the University of Georgia's strategic plan to advance campus sustainability.

isnt this what happened in pompeii?
No. Pompeii was destroyed by a pyroclastic flow, which is only a danger in the immediate vicinity of the eruption. The danger from Yellowstone is that it could blanket much of the continent with ash.
Well... my understanding is that Pompeii was covered in hot falling ash over a period of about 6 hours, Herculaneum was hit by pyroclastic flows.

As summer weather heats up in earnest across the nation, the death of an infant boy in Florida this month serves as a tragic reminder to never leave a child unattended in a vehicle. Hoping to prevent such incidents, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has partnered with Safe Kids Worldwide to spread the word.
According to CBS News in Miami, authorities have charged a West Miami-Dade woman, Catalina Bruno, with aggravated manslaughter following the death of her infant son, Bryan Osceola. Bruno allegedly left the baby in his car seat after arriving home; his temperature was 109 degrees when he was found, CBS reported.
NHTSA said that as of May 28, there had been four child heatstroke deaths so far in 2013; that's in addition to 384 between 2003 and 2012, according to a study by San Francisco State University. Heatstroke is the leading cause of non-crash vehicular deaths for young children, NHTSA said.
"It is especially dangerous because vehicles heat up quickly," NHTSA said in a statement. "Even with a window rolled down 2 inches, if the outside temperature is in the low-80s, the temperature inside the vehicle can reach deadly levels in just 10 minutes."
With their safety campaign, NHTSA and Safe Kids Worldwide urge parents and caregivers to remind themselves to check each time they get out of the car with the mantra, "Where's baby? Look before you lock." One tip the campaign offers is for drivers to habitually remind themselves to do a quick scan, front and back, of their vehicle by leaving a reminder such as placing their purse or briefcase in the back seat, writing a note-to-self or positioning a stuffed animal in the rearview mirror.
Most importantly, never leave a child unattended in a car, even if the windows are open or the air conditioning is on. Other tips include:
