A new National Incident Management System (NIMS) news wide-awake from the NIMS Implementation Center, incorporated esoteric remark to a a lot asked put somebody through the mill (FAQ) document on the FEMA website. This document, denote on April 20, 2007, similar lots documents back it was severely concealed inside the FEMA website, get-at-able lone to those who knew wherever to find it.
The past two questions on this FAQ piece of writing dealt beside a raging give-and-take in relation to the repercussions of failed to be NIMS compliant earlier the looming September 30, 2007 point.
The first answered the give somebody the third degree of whether the Joint Commission required NIMS conformity for certification. The answers expressed "Not at this example."Post ads:

The 2d query likewise was a reply to inquiries on the subject of whether CMS required NIMS abidance for Medicare and Medicaid benefits and reimbursements. Again the answer was "Not at this occurrence."
The April 20th tidings was announce all but in particular iii weeks to the day after High Alert, LLC. in camera circulated a pre-released negotiable instrument of its achromatic thesis on the affiliation of NIMS, NRP, the NIMS Implementation Plan for Hospitals and Healthcare, the Federal False Claims Act (Qui Tam) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In that more than circulated document, High Alert referenced respective untimely positions by the Justice Department and the NIMS Implementation Center that set hospitals and otherwise tending facilities at hazard of Medicare dishonest person and the repercussions of that phony low some Federal False Claims Act and Sarbanes-Oxley.
High Alert sounded the claxton fright limitation that downfall to be NIMS amenable spell static charge Medicare and Medicaid could constitute a infringement of the Federal False Claim Act, gum debut institutions to having an important effect ineligible repercussions.Post ads:

Several court scholars had reviewed this latent and concurred beside High Alert's conclusions, accumulation that voluntary visual impairment in relation to NIMS Compliance does not be a squad. Similarly, the information that Federal False Claims complaints are sealed for the archetypical 120 days would by need normal that aid facilities and hospitals submission Sarbanes-Oxley Reports piece under a Federal False Claims criticism would be wretched of a 2nd violation, that someone a synthetic Sarbanes-Oxley Attestation.
Several officials inside the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA and Department of Health and Human Services requested copies of the High Alert negotiable instrument written material in the weeks anterior to its bureaucrat rescue in archaean April. Within a period of the wares of High Alert's light rag the FAQ statements were announce to the internet. Interestingly, it was not until deferred June that the existence of these clarifications was published.
This raises the shade of a continued invent to set hospitals and care facilities in danger of violating of some the Joint Commission Accreditation guidelines and the Federal False Claims Act for unsuccessful to be filling NIMS agreement by the September 30 deadline.
Hospitals and care facilities can transport a teeny solace in the information that this FAQ copy utter "not at this time" in reply inquires that the possibilities raised by High Alert's document will upshot in effective federal prosecution.
There additional persists the inquiring of whether or not a reclusive relator can bring out Qui Tam endeavour underneath the Federal False Claims Act, in spite of the fact that the federal parliament is right now disallowing any goal of transferral specified claims on its own, "at this event."
The long-ago of the Federal False Claims Act demonstrates that enforcement has been principally at the manus of cloistered citizens impermanent in the work of "relator" transferral Qui Tam travels frankincense ever expanding the request and undertone of the Federal False Claims Act.
The allowed relations relating possession nether Federal False Claims and the Sarbanes-Oxley Attestation has been fixed some by High Alert and by others. Thus when Qui Tam engagements are victoriously argued for bomb to abide by with NIMS hospitals and their business firm executives would frontage grave sanctioned risk.
Of even greater concern is the reality that even if a Qui Tam bustle were unsuccessful, the certainty that the Qui Tam action may not be unveiled by any organisation requires that the beingness of this future susceptibility be omitted from any Sarbanes-Oxley document filed during the corresponding event skeleton. This intentional omission of a likely susceptibility is the particularly definition of a Sarbanes-Oxley revelation betrayal. Due to this lawful "catch 22," the CEO and CFO who signed the dishonorable Sarbanes-Oxley Attestation obverse well-bred and transgression action at law.
The recent NIMS Integration Center sleepless and its connected FAQ text may still the fears of hospitals as they remove transfer speedily to gather round the September 30 enforcement point in time. However, those facilities who scene this writing as support that in that are no important repercussions for dead loss to be NIMS nonresistant may brainstorm that the copies of the High Alert copy circulated at the Department of Homeland Security, FEMA, the NIMS Implementation Center and CMS served as a templet for NIMS enforcement.
The state-of-the-art interview is, did the Federal system innate reflex or is this a bit of informational quickness of hand?

After an early interception, Robert Griffin III has the Redskins back on track, and leading the Vikings 17-9 at halftime.
Griffin led the Redskins on an 11-play, 90-yard drive which was capped by an Alfred Morris touchdown run. Then after a Lorenzo Alexander interception gave him the ball back at the Vikings' 6-yard line, Griffin hit Darrel Young for a touchdown pass on the next play to reverse the Vikings' early momentum.
RG3 is 11-of-14 passing for 116 yards, and has taken a few hard hits over the course of the game. He can also act, as he gave it the full Vlade Divac treatment when pushed by Erin Henderson, buying a roughing the passer penalty.

Non-radioactive EMSA - (May/19/2008 )
I am currently looking for non-radioactive EMSA method which applicable to my work. My department here discourage us to use the radioactive way as it was too complicated in term of waste disposal. My work is different as I will be using in vitro translated protein with biotin tag(TNT kit & trascend tRNA,promega). I found a non-isotopic EMSA kit from Invitrogen which stain the protein with SYBR red. I wonder would it be possible for my biotihylated protein to detect by SYBR red? I couldn't remove the biotin tag as it wasn't in vivo recombinant protein. Hope that anyone here can help me with these, thanks.
If you have a biotin tag, you might consider a luminescent assay, with either streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase or streptavidin-horse radish peroxidase, followed by detection of the enzymatic activity. Check the Pierce web site (or Roche). This would be far more sensitive than sybr red, but you might not need the sensitivity.

As a boy, I used to carry along with me a small loose-leaf notebook. It had been a prize in a holiday beach contest, and it constantly reminded me of my success as a sand sculptor. I have always been a timid boy, and this prized talisman helped to bolster my weak identity. Equally significant to me was the fact that my grandfather, according to my mother, had taken notes in a similar little book. By my standards Cornelis Harm Wind, my grandfather, was a legendary figure. My mother was only 15 when he died at the age of 43; my two sisters and I never had the pleasure of knowing him. Yet I felt a great reverence for my unknown grandpa. He was a great experimenter. After the discovery of X-rays he had been the first to determine the wavelength of the new form of radiation. He served as Director of the National Institute of Meteorology at De Bilt (just imagine: my grandfather the chief weather forecaster!) before he became a professor of mathematical physics at the University of Utrecht. He participated in conferences in Copenhagen and Brussels and knew such celebrities as Lorentz, Curie, Rutherford and Einstein. He ardently took part in debates on issues that were later to be resolved by Lorentz's and Einstein's magnificent discoveries (about C.H.Wind , in Dutch).
My grandfather's notes have not been preserved. Neither have mine, but I remember some of the notes I took when I was about 18 years old: thoughts about the nature of life, sketches of both practical and useless inventions, and many aphorisms. "Themes in a musical fugue reflect the forms in nature: modifications in space and time". "Beauty is implicit logic". "Consciousness is sparked by incongruence". Thoughts like these have remained precious to me as leading lights that never lost their meaning. When episodes of anguish and turmoil had shattered my confidence, I was always able to fall back on an early formed fundamental and reassuring understanding of the world around me. Now I realise with some awe that these early aphorisms have evolved from their limited beginnings into a comprehensive reflection on my world, on its inhabitants and their actions. Apparently, a few well springs of thinking, activated early in life, can expand and eventually feed a fully developed mind.
The Dutch novelist, Harry Mulisch, has described the far-reaching effect of thoughts budding at an early age. He remembers a 'mystical' realisation in his youth: the sudden awareness that the two tones of an octave interval are the same and yet not the same (a universal phenomenon according to E.G.McClain, 1978). This enlightened insight led to his philosophical novel The composition of the world (1980). Artistic inspiration and insight illuminate essential aspects of our time and our world. Since Boethius in the 6th century AD we have learnt much about the periodicity of planetary movement, the seasonal cycles, the spiral of evolution. With expanding knowledge, the language and metaphors in which we think have changed. No longer do we listen to the harmony of spheres, we now look at them. Our image of the universe has become more a visual than an auditory one. The way in which music reflects the properties of the universe was still apparent to the cultured people of Babylon (1800 BC) and to Boethius, but has lost its meaning in our technological age.
Let me share with you some details about my educational background, and about the role that music has played in it. I began to play the cello at the age of seven, under the guidance of my father, who was an accomplished amateur musician. Since then I've been engaged in ensembles for chamber music.
You can listen to a sample of Beethoven Variations, played by Lucie Roodvoets, piano and the author (cello).
Ensemble playing is a cooperative effort: with your fellow-musicians you enter a time-structure designed by the composer. Together you shape complicated structures in a time-sequence: rhythmic and melodic successions differ slightly from each other, are remembered, varied and restructured. It is a training of practical intelligence and motor skills; it is also sharing with others the powerful reverberations induced in one's emotional life by the music.
The fine receptive and imaginative skills involved in music have a practical application in science when a "participating and listening" attitude is needed (12.6). Musical sound patterns succeed each other in a way that can be compared to a natural evolution, from elementary forms to a complex creation, which, in turn, can be compared to developing ideas, institutions and cultures. In earlier civilisations the role of music in education has been more predominant than it is now (E.G.McLain 1978). Religious music was considered to be an abstract image of the world, it served to establish harmony between man and his universe. Many composers have attempted to depict the cosmos and nature in monumental compositions: among them S.ten Holt, K-H. Stockhausen, P.Schat. The present book lays out a comparable trail: it is an exercise in time-structures (governing material structures) that are the essence of living nature and also that of humankind and the society we live in.
After my elementary school years I have never participated in formal religious practice. I appreciated religion as one does an idealistic myth, leading to prejudice and holding some risk of stagnation as to moral and intellectual unfolding. A key experience gave further shape to my view of spiritual life. In a conference organised shortly after the second world war by the reformed Christian student body about the topic of nuclear energy, the opinion was formulated that it could not be God's intention that man should touch the secrets of His atom. This was in contradiction my grandpa's achievements: in his inaugural lecture (1906) he had mentioned the bountiful energy, contained within the atom, that might in time become available to mankind; the time had now come for this energy to be exploited. The conservative opinion of the Christian students was contrary to my own view and that of several other participants. We decided to promote a more progressive and liberal platform and founded a Humanistic student movement. It is only recently, since I started writing this book, that I have realised that a religious view of life is bound to have strained relations with pivotal issues in science, education, health care and social dynamics. Self-organisation, evolution, self-unfolding, interactive growth, autonomy of the patient in the doctor-patient relationship, they all loose their meaning if mixed with even a trace of "divine guidance". There is a solution: one can be religious if divine guidance is the same as the laws of nature.
At school I turned out to be quite good at foreign languages but my main interests were biology and chemistry. When the moment came to register as a student, I entered the Department of Medicine because it seemed to combine my diverse interests. In the first three years of study the basic sciences and the biological foundations of medicine were revealed. The years of clinical education that followed were disappointing; I found that too little of the acquired knowledge was used to arrive at a diagnosis, and in the bed-side teaching by the master-clinicians I missed the scientific pattern.
For one year I held a junior assistantship in medical physiology. This rewarding experience compensated for the deprivation of fundamental scientific study after the first three years of my career as a student. The professor in charge, Janus Jongbloed, had been an eminent military aircraft pilot before he entered a medical career, and had later become a pioneer in aviation medicine. He asked me if I wanted to consider specialisation in this area and offered me a position in his laboratory. If I accepted, it would mean choosing a career in science and giving up a future in clinical work. After seriously considering his offer, I resolved to finish the two years that separated me from the doctor's license, before deciding about specialisation.
After graduating as an M.D., I was drafted for training in military medicine and, encouraged by Janus Jongbloed, I served in the Air Force from 1953 to '55. The challenge that faced human beings when adapting to high altitudes and to space travel (quite a novelty in post-war Holland!) attracted me and I enjoyed taking a close look at space physiology and aviation medicine. My daily work consisted of periodic medical checkups of military and civilian aircraft pilots. The rest of the time I spent in the well-stocked (thanks to gifts from the U.S.) library of the National Centre for Aviation Medicine at Soesterberg. The concepts of Cybernetics, introduced in 1943 by Norbert Wiener, and General Systems Theory seemed promising as a universal language for scientific transactions. The habit of 'systems thinking' has never left me. My first publication (in Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Militaire Geneeskunde, 1956) discussed the interaction between fighter pilots and their aircraft. Unimpaired communication of man with his environment seemed to me a vital aspect of personal health, and a necessity for survival in combat.
In the early fifties physicians were encouraged to become professionally active in the field of disorders of voice, speech, and hearing. For the second half of my tour of active military duty I was stationed at a small air-base where few demands were made on me as to medical services. I could spend most of my time studying phonetics and voice/speech/language pathology. By the time I left the military service in 1955, I had decided on a career as a medical specialist focussing on voice, speech, and hearing problems. The choice became easier when I learned that collegues in Finland (Aatto Sonninen) and Sweden (Björn Fritzell) held positions as precisely such specialists.This field of professional specialisation appealed to me as offering opportunity to study pathology and therapy, and, at the same time, offering scope for my interest in languages and music. It presented an inviting challenge to bring together complementary disciplines, such as linguistics, behavioural sciences and medical sciences.
I felt a strong urge to penetrate into the undiscovered regions of human voice and speech production. It was not at all a vague feeling of 'I would like to know more about this'; I was determined to discover as much as I could, and would not allow myself to be satisfied with meagre results. During four years in the department of medicine at Groningen university I did experimental work in voice physiology under the direction of the excellent medical physicist Jan Willem van den Berg. Eelco Huizinga, my professor of Ear, Nose and Throat diseases, warned me when we parted: Don't let your horizon be narrowed by fanaticism. In retrospect I think that the opposite happened. A strong drive has been necessary to expand the study of speech, voice and language beyond the limits of the Ear, Nose and Throat specialty. It requires some courage and a lot of energy to enter neighbouring territories , and to traverse large mental distances. When I started, linguistics, psychology and medicine were separate worlds, light-years apart. Mental acrobatics were required to reach members on the other side of the abyss. The combined efforts of other 'trespassers' like myself have changed this.
Since no formally directed training in my chosen area existed in Holland, I applied for and received a fellowship sponsored by the World Health Organisation. This award enabled me to visit centres offering specialisation in voice and speech pathology and laboratories for scientific research in human communication in France, Austria, Germany, and the Scandinavian countries. In the meantime I had met my wife, Tiete Terpstra, an accomplished speech therapist from Amsterdam. Just before leaving on this journey of exploratory study, we were married. Together, we set out as wandering students. On our return, an appointment awaited me at the University of Utrecht as an associate of Piet Gerlings, professor of diseases of the ear, nose and throat (ENT). My assigned task was to develop a clinical program in voice, speech, and language pathology within the ENT department of the Medical School.
We launched our work in the basement of a new building, with two speech therapists and a part-time psychiatrist. We found that for many of the problems presented by our patients we could offer no solutions. This deficiency was in part caused by the fact that at that time logopedics (speech therapy) was still functioning in a medical framework dating from the 1930s: reforms were over-due. Embarking on this project we experienced exhilarating moments. Theoretical innovation resulted in the discovery of new methods, enabling us to deliver productive work. In cooperation with plastic surgeons and dental specialists we reconsidered the diagnosis and treatment of short palate and cleft palate, and confirmed the notion that the widespread occurrence of habitual mouth-breathing and as well as other abnormal oral habits were the causes of orthodontic as well as speech-articulation problems. We also developed intensive treatment programs for voice disorders and stuttering, the latter in close association with Theo Schoenaker, a logopedist who later succesfully developed and promoted Individual Psychology along the lines set out by Adler and Dreikurs.
As our professional role metamorphosed from organic specialists to behaviour oriented physicians, we were supported by colleagues in internal medicine who had found that conversion symptoms and psychosomatic dysfunctions accounted for hitherto inadequately explained forms of disease. Researchers of other specialties venturing into this area were still few in number. Clinicians who were skilled in counselling patients as to the modification of their attitudes and behaviours were altogether rare. For this reason, our research effort moved to factors of personal growth, as well as considering emotional hazards in the family and the life of the individual patient. Our results have shown that medicine will gain in value and standing if it will join forces with the sciences of behaviour. The unified approach has diminished the number of inappropriate treatments and has led to more appropriate diagnostics. Not only is behavioural medicine a desirable supplement to medical training, it will also give patients a chance to develop higher levels of maturity, autonomy, and resiliency. This will enable them to better cope with future health hazards.
Training programs to achieve a positive attitude towards one's personal health problems are now available for several categories of patients, and these programs should receive full support in the curriculum of medical schools. Actively promoting health instead of merely treating disease is the proper response of the medical community to the challenges posed by so-called alternative therapies offered by narrowly trained healers. In order to assure a programme of behavioural medicine taking the place it deserves, it must be founded on firm biological principles. Throughout this book suggestions will be found on which such a curriculum might be constructed.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Proper health management should spend as much money and energy on strengthening resiliency of body and mind as on curing disease. A state of physical and mental health depends to a large degree on resiliency of the immune and of the nervous systems. The idea of a parallel between the immune and the nervous systems, and the connections between the two, came to my mind in the 1970s. At that time I studied Communication Sciences at the University of Florida at Gainesville. That program was headed by Paul Moore, and later by Harry Hollien; they promoted exchanges with people of various disciplines. I had the opportunity to discuss, with behavioural scientists and biologists, such topics as the connection between early development and learning, and the basic motivation of human behaviour. In most areas of health care it is of prime importance to know the dividing line between voluntary and involuntary behaviour, and to master the procedures to move the boundary line in the wished for direction.
For a long time, I could only make slow progress in these fundamental issues, because in Utrecht I was constantly occupied with supervising clinical and educational activities. To give an example of our patient load in those times: between 1965 and 1985 we managed to clear with a small number of staff over ten thousand stutterers, who all found their way to appropriate kinds of treatment. Our group of clinicians, psychologists and physicians shared ideas about learning processes in personal development. Because we followed large numbers of patients over long periods of time we discerned new diachronic patterns. The concurrence of eczema, asthma and stuttering in families and individuals was a topic of study. Until then the division between the sciences had obstructed the view on possible logical connections between such diverse phenomena. We took on the task of designing a biological framework in which various hazards to the developing human body and mind could be accommodated: metabolic functions, sensomotor learning, social behaviour, cognitive style and speech-language development. Since heredity (species adaptation) and environment (individual adaptation) contribute in equal parts, the theory hinges on communication in nature and in man. Coping with the environment, characterised in this book as Adaptation and Defence (AcD), is directly related to physical and mental health.
Visual-spatial perception, is usually considered to be a reliable way to look at and to understand the world. During a study with laryngectomised patients, I noticed that there were exceptions. Visual observation, for example in the interpretation of X-rays, was at best incomplete and often misleading. The most valuable discoveries were made by accurate listening, thus avoiding visual deceptions. The French philosopher and columnist, Alain (nom de plume of E.A.Chartier), apparently agreed, as is witnessed by this line: "Voir n'est qu'une bâtarde façon de connaitre" (seeing is a spurious way of knowing). I took this as a motto for my thesis (1958) on "Oesophageal Speech", a substitute way of voice production used by laryngectomised people. Although Alain's quote is on the cover-page, nobody has ever asked for an explanation. Let me give it now.
With our eyes we perceive spatial relations between objects: small differences in size, in measured time. The visually oriented person is staring at proximal causes; the auditorily oriented person grasps the ultimate cause. With our ears we perceive temporal relations: we recognise and remember intricate rhythmic figures, melodic lines, complex harmonies, and we learn to integrate these into a meaningful auditory Gestalt. The skill to discern "Gestalts in time" assists us to recognise patterns of development, even if the time-scale is stretched or shortened by a factor 10 or a multiple of 10. J.Pringle has remarked that complexity of matter cannot explain life, it can only be understood as complexity in time.
Through listening much is revealed that is not noticeable to the eye. When one looks at an object only features within one's field of vision are perceived. When listening however one perceives all surrounding sources of sound, also those that hide behind other objects. To the visual world of surfaces, auditory perception adds understanding of the inner structure of objects and the core of things. A crack in a porcelain or crystal vase may be hardly visible, but will always be heard. A "crack" in the voice of a patient is understood, not so much by fiberoptic laryngoscopy, nor by X-rays, but by listening [1] to the way he uses his voice and [2] to the story of his life. The "visual" person is liable to limit his scope of attention to one particular preconceived area. A visual orientation may be a handicap for a diagnostician. The "listening" person on the contrary notices hidden cues and will be well disposed to make sense of them.
In an essay for the journal Hospital Practice, Morowitz has defined the difference between "Splitters" and "Lumpers". The former concentrate on a detail which they study for a lifetime; the latter take an encompassing bird's eye view and discover connections and grand patterns. The lumper and the splitter can ideally combine into one person. Since I have done a significant amount of splitting in my younger years, I now feel the need to overview vast areas. We must develop comprehensive theories that connect various disciplines. With increasing differentiation, specialists grow ever more wide apart and tend to lose touch. I am driven by a counteracting force destined to effect integration and I hope that my readers will share this attitude. We have discussed such questions as :
For those who feel uneasy with 'grand' theories I have a word of reassurance. There is nothing more practical than a good theory: it is the essence of our knowledge in a ready-to-use form. No one can function efficiently without theoretical groundwork. I have come to this conclusion since it is apparent how easily people, even well established scientists, have been led astray by traditional but false expectations, dominant prejudices and quasi-obvious judgments. Especially in medicine we must draw upon different sources of knowledge to guide us in the diagnostic process and on the tortuous roads of therapy. Also outside the clinic, in a more general context, we rely on theories to direct our exploration of the world. Besides, there is nothing absolute about theories; they are continuously improved by empirical testing.
During the long period I've been hatching the contents for this book I've received enormous encouragement from my wife Titia. My colleagues Hans van Wijngaarden, Joop Wilms en Sjoeke van der Meulen have tolerated an occasional absence and have been patiently wondering what kind of bird would be hatched from the egg, since this could hardly be guessed after the disclosure of some wet feathers. Elisabeth Versteegh has contributed perceptive criticism and correction of style and language. From Don Williams and Gerlof van der Veen I have received valuable comments on an earlier version of the manuscript. Stan Tempelaars taught me how to appease a wayward computer. I thank them all for their support which has been indispensable.

text: Ok, so thought I'd help out new Hero owners with a little quickstart, including all things you should do as soon as you get your hero. BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE Make sure you are running the latest ROM build, if not, update to the latest your carrier/HTC provides before you do anything else. As updating the ROM wipes the data off your phone, doing this first means you will not lose anything! Check out the HTC Support website for your Country and Carrier to see if there is an update available! To see if you have the latest update compared to that on the HTC website, check here on your Hero: Settings > About Phone > Build Number General Notes To get the MOST out of Android and your Hero, you must embrace the Google Cloud. Get yourself a GMail email account, use the Google calendar, sync your contacts to Google, use Google Picasa, use Google Calenday, use Google Tasks, use Google Docs. General Tips You may try out any paid application in the market for 24 hours. If you uninstall the application inside these 24 hours you will get a full refund. However, you may only do this once. If you reinstall a refunded application you may not return it for a refund again. --------------------- Turn off WiFi and GPS if you are not using them. They can cause the battery to drain much quicker than if you turned them off. Toggling between these settings is easy via the default HTC widgets. --------------------- To add a new photo album, just mount the phone via USB to a PC, create a new folder and give it a name. Add your pictures to this folder. Now browse to the "Albums" in your phone and it will automatically create an album with the folder name you specified containing the pictures you added. --------------------- Calibrate your keyboard!!! You will find using the keyboard waaay better. To this via: Settings > Local & text > Touch Input > Text Input > Calibration Tool --------------------- There are 3 types of keyboard available for the Hero built in "full QWERTY", "Phone keypad" and Compact QWERTY". Give them a try, one may suit you better. To change do the following: Settings > Local & text > Touch Input > Keyboard Types --------------------- A Class 6 micro sd card may speed up your Hero. --------------------- If you have both WiFi and data connections turned on, your phone will default to using the WiFi connection as long as you are connected to a WiFi network. So no need to turn mobile data off using home WiFi. Phone Status Icons Explanations of the icons that appear in your notification bar: Adding New Ringtones/SMS Notifications/Alarms To add new ringtones or SMS alerts, connect your Hero to USB and mount the device on your PC. Browser to the following folders: Ringtones: /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones SMS Alerts: /sdcard/media/audio/notifications Alarm Alerts: /sdcard/media/audio/alarms Copy your mp3 files into either of the folders above. Then go to: Ringtone:Settings > sound and display > phone ringtone SMS: Settings > sound and display > notification sound Alarms: Set the sound when adding a new alarm. Then select the ringtone you put in the above folder(s). Keyboard Lag The HTC Hero keyboard tends to lag quite a bit after maybe a week of using it. There is one very easy way to ease and normally totally get rid of the lag, and that is to turn of the feedback option. Settings > Local & text > Touch Input > Text Input > Untick "Sound feedback" and "Vibrate when typing" Default Application Replacements Your Hero will come with default applications, but sometimes there are better alternatives on the market: SMS Handcent SMS is a perfect replacement SMS application. It contains a lot more personalisation than the default application offers, and many users report it being faster too. In order to stop receiving two SMS notifications from now on, open the default SMS application and navigate to: Menu > settings> untick Notifications Download Handcent by scanning the following barcode: Camera The default camera application is not bad, and actually after using Camera Zoom FX for a while I now prefer the default as it is quite a lot faster to open up. There are two options here, change the default camera settings, or download and use the Camera Zoom FX application instead. Change to these settings in the default application: Quality: High Widescreen: Tick Auto focus: Tick Flicker Adjustment: Auto ISO: 800 The Camera Zoom FX application however manages to produce quite good pictures, and is definitely worth the very small cost (

[Top photo: On the day that she was molested, Ris Low said she was wearing a black tube dress that is similar to the one she's wearing in the picture.]
SHE made headlines when her lack of fluency in English and conviction for credit-card fraud became subjects of national discourse last year.
Now, she has a confession which has set some tongues wagging.
The former Miss Singapore World, who stepped down after she was exposed for fraud - recounted an incident where a man allegedly came up behind her in a taxi queue and pulled down her tube top, reported citizen-journalism website Stomp.
In an entry dated last Wednesday, Low - who was found guilty of credit- card fraud last September and was most recently appointed spokesman for a condom company - said she regretted not giving the man a kick before he ran off.
She wrote: "I told him off and he ran away. Regret keeping that kick I have from Muay Thai. Sigh."
Netizen Benji had stumbled upon her blog and was shocked by the entry as well as the number of expletives used by Low in relating the incident.
In a message to Stomp, Benji said: "She is a public figure and almost everyone knows who she is. While I am sorry that she got molested, she should be aware that she has an audience... By blogging and using vulgarities, our young might follow suit."
Since it was posted on Stomp last Saturday, the item has received almost 26,000 page views.
While some netizens questioned the veracity of her claim, others were more sympathetic.
One netizen said: "She got bombarded for her English and then her condom ad...no one is perfect. Let her be, for she didn't ask for it. Have a heart!"

Famous People With Dyslexia
Famous People With Dyslexia did not become famous despite their dyslexia; it is because of their thinking style these famous people with dyslexia have such amazing talent.
There are defiantly more famous people with dyslexia; celebrities, business people, entrepreneurs and sports people than you think that have Dyslexia. This just goes to show that you should never think of it as an unbreakable obstacle. Think of it as an amassing asset you have, others don't. Look at the list below to see that anything is possible when you have dyslexia. I'm just going to list SOME Famous People With Dyslexia:
Famous People With Dyslexia (A-B)
Muhammad Ali
One of the Worlds' Greatest and most Famous Boxers
"As a high school student, many of my teachers labeled me DUMB… I knew who the real dummies were. I barely graduated…There was no way I was going to college- I never even thought about it. I could barely read my textbooks."
Professor Elizabeth Blackburn
Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine, 2009
"One of the things I was thinking about today is that as a kid I had dyslexia. I had a lot of trouble in school and was put into remedial classes. I thought that I was stupid"
Orlando Bloom
Award Winning Actor
"It's a gift and don't let anyone tell you that because you struggle with dyslexia you'll never make it in life because it's simply not true. It's about your determination and desire to overcome. And I think that the obstacles that come with any disability can become the opportunity of your life if you make it that."
Sir Richard Branson
Founder of Virgin Enterprises
"My teachers thought I was just lazy because back then; people didn't understand as much about dyslexia as they do today. On one of my last days at school, the headmaster told me that I would either end up in prison or become a millionaire."
Erin Brockovich
Famous Lawyer and Activist
"Most people don't know I have dyslexia. I don't like to be labelled. We are taught not to judge a book by its cover, but that's exactly what we do. People called me stupid — I knew I could learn, but I just couldn't learn the way society wanted to teach me. There are no set answers, just be who you are."
Famous People With Dyslexia (C-E)
Agatha Christie
"I, myself, was always recognized…as the 'slow one' in the family. It was quite true, and I knew it and accepted it. Writing and spelling were always terribly difficult for me…. I was…an extraordinarily bad speller and have remained so until this day."
Tom Cruise
Award Winning Actor
"When I was about 7 years old, I had been labeled dyslexic. I'd try to concentrate on what I was reading, then I'd get to the end of the page and have very little memory of anything I'd read. I would go blank, feel anxious, nervous, bored, frustrated, dumb. I would get angry. My legs would actually hurt when I was studying. My head ached. All through school and well into my career, I felt like I had a secret. When I'd go to a new school, I wouldn't want the other kids to know about my learning disability, but then I'd be sent off to remedial reading."
Princess Victoria Désirée
Swedish Crown Princess
"I used to think I was stupid and slow. When one has reading and writing difficulties, it can be tough sometimes. It can sound like a simple problem, but it isn't – I know."
Walt Disney
Producer, Animation Artist, Theme Park Pioneer
"If you can dream it, you can do it."
Albert Einstein
Producer, Animation Artist, Theme Park Pioneer
"He told me that his teachers reported that . . . he was mentally slow, unsociable, and adrift forever in his foolish dreams."
– Hans Albert Einstein (Albert Einstein's father)
Famous People With Dyslexia (F-J)

King Carl XVI Gustaf
King of Sweden
"I wanted to show that it can get better and show the 700,000 dyslexics in this country that you can get up and learn from your mistakes," said Carl-Philip. He stated that dyslexia is generally a genetic disorder and that both his father, King Carl Gustaf, and sister, Crown Princess Victoria also suffer from it.
William Hewlett
Co-founder, Hewlett-Packard Company (HP)
"The greatest success goes to the person who is not afraid to fail in front of even the largest audience."
Steve Jobs
Co-founder, Apple
"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while."
Famous People With Dyslexia (K-M)
Ingvar Kamprad
Founder, IKEA
"Making mistakes is the privilege of the active. It is always the mediocre people who are negative, who spend their time proving that they were not wrong."
Keira Knightley
Award Winning Actress
"I was diagnosed when I was six. I worked hard to get the better of it and by the time I got to secondary school, it was much better. I can read and write – badly – but I'm fine reading scripts."
John Lennon
Musician – The Beatles
"You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!"
Jay Leno
Comedian, Actor, Writer, Producer, Voice Actor and TV Host.
"One thing about mildly dyslexic people – they're good at setting everything else aside to pursue one goal."
James Middleton
Brother of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge
"I was fine with numbers but it took me a longer time to grasp simple things like spelling. I used to spell everything phonetically, or I would have little tricks for words I could not figure out. There was some relief in being diagnosed with dyslexia because a lot of the strain comes from trying to hide it."
Famous People With Dyslexia (N-P)
Jamie Oliver
Celebrity Chef
"My dyslexia's a weird one, sometimes I have really good days at reading, sometimes I read like a five year old."
Kerry Packer
Australian Publishing, Media and Gaming Tycoon
"I got a lot of beltings, because I wasn't a very good child"
Pablo Picasso
"Everything you can imagine is real."
Famous People With Dyslexia (Q-T)
Daniel Radcliffe
Actor – Harry Potter Star
"I've never been one of the cool people at school, but then again, I don't get the people who are cool. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that they don't interest me."
Will Smith
Award Winning Actor
"The keys to life are running and reading. When you're running, there's a little person that talks to you and says, "Oh I'm tired. My lung's about to pop. I'm so hurt. There's no way I can possibly continue." You want to quit. If you learn how to defeat that person when you're running. You will how to not quit when things get hard in your life. For reading: there have been gazillions of people that have lived before all of us. There's no new problem you could have–with your parents, with school, with a bully. There's no new problem that someone hasn't already had and written about it in a book."
Steven Spielberg
Award winning Director and Filmmaker
"I felt like an alien. I always felt like I never belonged to any group that I wanted to belong to."
Kerry Stokes AC
Australian Businessman
"The brothers had a pretty simple way – it was the devil's hands and the devil's mind and the devil's eye. I used to hate that damned devil"…"If you didn't spell it right, you got strapped. If you didn't get it right, you got strapped. I don't want people to think it was horrific — it was just the way it was. I don't think a slap on the hand or a stick on the backside has done anyone any harm."
Famous People With Dyslexia (U-Z)
Marco Pierre White
Celebrity Chef
"It's not a stigma to be labelled with dyslexia. Individuals with dyslexia have great talents and great qualities"…"The teachers knew that I struggled and I could hear the other children laughing so it broke my confidence down. When I left school I was 16 years old. Did I struggle with how to read? Yes I did. Did I struggle with how to spell? Yes I did."
Henry Winkler
Award Winning Actor
"I was allergic to school. I was completely befuddled by school. I was trying so hard but I couldn't succeed. I took geometry for four years, the same course over and over again and I did not graduate with my senior class."
Princess Beatrice of York
Elder daughter of Prince Andrew, Duke of York
"When I was younger I was diagnosed with dyslexia which meant, for me, sitting in front of a book was really hard"
… and that's just a few famous people with dyslexia.
Not all dyslexics become as famous as these, but they all share the same thinking style.
If your child has had special education at school or had a remedial tutor and continues to struggle, there is help and hope. Don't wait for your child to struggle for another year.

Hitting the road and going wherever it takes you. What could be more quintessentially American?
When I headed out on to the highways of America in April of 2007, I had no idea what lay ahead. More than anything, that is what was so magical about it. From beginning to end it was an adventure. I was rarely lonely and I met amazing people every step of the way. Being on the road and pushing the envelope made it even more interesting. Somehow I pulled the whole thing off through a combination of pluck and luck.
This site is a tribute to my Airstream. It was the critical ingredient that held my life together from April of 2007 until August of 2009.
When I headed out I knew nothing about recreational vehicles. I didn't know how to start my hot water heater. I was unaware that my 1973 Airstream was in desperate need of new axles or that it was suffering from a minor case of floor rot. I learned. What was broken or on its last legs was fixed.
Today I sold my aluminum home, and a part of myself. The Airstream found an outstanding new home at the Utah Animal Adoption Center's equine facility just on the northeast side of the Salt Lake City airport. Look for it when you are landing or taking off from SLC.
Here's to my Airstream and all of the people and animals who gave it life during a period of my life that was given over to the American road.

(This column originally appeared in the San Jose Mercury News on Aug. 16, 1989)
OXNARD — There are 80 players in the Raiders' camp here, but only one whose passion for bringing back the good, old days runs as deep as yours.
Todd Christensen wants to be an Oakland Raider again.
There aren't many Oakland Raiders left in activity, three to be exact — Christensen, Matt Millen and Howie Long. A couple of others, Marcus Allen and Vann McElroy, were Oakland property but never played a game until after the team moved to Los Angeles.
Long might want to be an Oakland Raider again, too, but he's being difficult these days, and those who haven't found him unapproachable have found the question goes unanswered. Oakland is not a subject he chooses to discuss at this time. Maybe he doesn't want to come back. Soup commercials don't come easy in the East Bay.
Millen says he certainly wouldn't mind coming back, and you figure deep within No. 55 the fires burn brighter. Publicly, Millen says he would "look forward" to being an Oakland Raider again, that he would "welcome" it. "But, " he quickly adds, "it's not like I make those decisions."
Christensen, the big tight end, rambles right on by that obstacle and then lowers a shoulder into the subject.
"It'd be a thrill, " he said. "While the organization left on terms of animosity, it wasn't as if (the fans) were angry at the players. It'd be a thrill, if only for a weekend. . . . Of course, it would prove Thomas Wolfe wrong."
You'd expect that kind of answer from Christensen, both for its passion and its intellect. This is a football player on whose coffee table sits a biography of Thoreau. (Did you know Thoreau's given name was David Henry but he changed it to Henry David to sound more like a writer? You could look it up; I'll take Christensen's word on it).
Of the few Oakland Raiders who remain, Christensen is the dean. He was there the longest — three seasons — before the Raiders went south, and he still hasn't forgotten one game from his first season of wearing silver and black. It was at the Coliseum against Cleveland in 1979. Christensen was an obscure special-teams player, signed in September after being dumped by the New York Giants after being dumped by the Dallas Cowboys. But no Raider was obscure back then.
"I remember I came out to the parking lot after that (first) game, and I saw these four or five people staring at me. 'We wanted to talk to you, ' they said. I couldn't imagine why. And one of them says, 'That was a hell of a block you made on that punt return.' " Christensen is amused, and to this day amazed.
He doesn't expect many of his current teammates will be able to grasp the significance of Aug. 26 in Oakland, when the Raiders return to the Coliseum for an exhibition game against Houston. He doesn't expect them to comprehend the roar that will accompany the Raiders' first steps onto that gridiron since 1981.
The Raiders have had their troubles in L.A. — a 20-27 record the last three seasons — but Christensen doesn't buy the Distractions-of-Going-Hollywood theory. There are simpler reasons for the Raiders' troubles, he says. And, by the way, he has a question.
"What if we move back to Oakland, and we're losing? Are they going to say we've gone Hayward?" And then Christensen goes off, as he often does, on a wonderfully wacky tangent. "We'll all be driving pick-ups, " he says, "and we'll have gun racks on them. We'll all be going bowling on Friday nights. The Raiders have gone Hayward."
The Raiders will be in that locale soon, if only for a weekend, and Christensen wouldn't miss it for the world. But he might miss it for reasons beyond his control. Three months ago, Christensen woke up jaundiced and full of pain. His gall bladder had to come out. Monday, he was finally able to join the team in full-scale workouts.
Gall bladder trouble; it makes a man sound old. But Christensen, not surprisingly, feels his 33 years in other ways.
"I'll tell you what makes me feel old, " he says, "and that's when I'm taking the baby sitter home and a Chicago song comes on the radio and I ask her if she likes Chicago and she says, 'I don't know; I've never been there.' "
Well, Todd Christensen has been to Oakland and he wants to come back as badly as you want them all to come back.

Philly is such a great coffee city, which works for me, because I'm definitely a coffee girl.
With so many shops to choose from and try, it will take much longer than the years I've lived here to sample all of the coffee that Philly has to offer. And being a creature of habit, once I find a place I like, I tend to stick with it.
I once tried to dedicate a Summer to trying a new coffee shop every weekend, and barely made it through 5 before bending to my faves.
Before I moved into my own place, I could only focus long enough to blog and get other work done if I went to a coffee shop. Working from home with roomies was always distraction. Making a temporary office in the corner of a cozy coffee shop has been a part of my weekend routines for years.
These are four of my go-to cafes to work, sip and regroup.
Menagerie Coffee
Menagerie has been a long time favorite. From the gorgeous wood and neutral interiors to the amazing drinks and delicious bites. Need a morning pick me up? Add the breakfast sandwich to your order. Maple syrup and pepper jack cheese are involved and will light up your taste buds in amazing ways. It's usually pretty quiet, has lots of outlets and table space to get work done and the coffee will keep you plenty energized.
What I order: Hot latte, with a bit of the house-made vanilla simple syrup and the breakfast sandwich.
Can you work there: Absolutely! Wifi and seating a plenty.
Bodhi Coffee
Get the vanilla latte, just trust me. No matter the season or mood, the vanilla latte is a game changer. Bodhi is located in the Washington Square neighborhood, which houses one of my favorite parks in Philly. The cafe is small and bright with white walls and stunning light fixtures. It's never too crowded, and there's plenty of room to plug in and work.
What I order: Hot vanilla latte and a bagel with butter.
Can you work there: Definitely.
La Colombe
La Colombe isn't unique to Philly, but it's definitely a Philadelphia coffee staple. If you're in the city and need a quick caffeine boost, skip the Starbucks and Dunkin' lines and head to La Colombe. The lines can get long, but they always flow fast. There are always a few roasts to choose from, something for every pallet. They have a latte on tap, need I say more?
What I order: A black and tan in the Summer (a mix of their draft latte and cold brew), hot latte in colder months.
Can you work there: Not if you require internet (who doesn't these days?!). Bring a book or a friend.
Joe Coffee
Joe is originally from New York, but I'm glad they planted some Philly roots. It's not far from my apartment, so I perch here even more than usual. I would say I write at least 65% of my content from Joe. The coffee is strong and even when the space gets crowded, I always find a spot to plug in and work. Not to mention, it's the perfect spot to people watch.
What I order: Chai latte, (and if I'm feeling the calories one of their donuts).
Can you work there: Certainly.

Gabi Luncă
(Redirected from Gabi Lunca)Jump to navigation Jump to search
Gabi Luncă (born 1938) is a Romani singer of urban lăutarească music from Romania, born in Vărbilău, Prahova County in Romania.
Her father was also a lăutar, a violinist very respected among lăutari because he was a "notist" (he knew how to read music). Her mother died when she was very young and this left a major impression on her life; many of her songs deal with the "mother" theme.
She was a favorite of Romania's communist ruler Nicolae Ceauşescu and his wife Elena.
In the later part of her life, Gabi Luncă converted to Pentecostalism and started singing exclusively religious music.
She was married to the great accordionist Ion Stan-Onoriu.

The Debt Ceilingby Representative Robert Pittenger
Posted on 2013-01-15
PITTENGER. I thank my good friend from Indiana.
Mr. Speaker, in previous generations, serving as a Member of Congress was considered an honorable profession. Congressmen were held in high esteem and examples of true leadership. They were honored in books like ``Profiles in Courage.'' Sadly, we seem to have lost our way. Last week, Public Policy Polling found that only 9 percent of Americans approve of the job that Congress is doing. In my opinion, the reason no one approves of the job we're doing is that we're not doing our job.
Our Nation is in peril. We are threatened, not by a foreign tyrant, but by our own reckless spending. Just today, the Fitch Ratings agency warned that our AAA credit rating is at risk. We are on the verge of squandering everything that we have received from previous generations. Sadly, we are more likely to leave the next generation with crushing debt than we are to pass along the America we love.
My fellow Representatives, may I make a suggestion? Starting with the 113th Congress, the buck stops here. For too many years, Congress and the President have received an A in addition, but they seem to have always flunked subtraction. We must commit to bringing spending in line with revenue, to setting priorities and learning to say ``no.'' If we are to be the Congress which takes to say ``no.'' If we are to be the Congress which takes substantive action on deficit reduction, we must start with entitlements. It's the topic everyone is afraid to address, but weren't we elected to show true leadership? Today the Fitch Ratings agency warned that our Nation's AAA credit rating is at risk if an increase in the debt ceiling doesn't also include a credible plan for deficit reduction. The Government Accountability Office has reported that government spending is on an unsustainable long-term fiscal path, with entitlements the primary culprit. The Congressional Budget Office reports that, left unchecked, the Federal entitlement programs will soon swamp the entire budget. Will entitlement reform be messy? Yes. Is it necessary? Yes. In fact, it's the only way to bring a lasting solution to our Nation's fiscal problems.
[[Page H154]] Any plan to reform entitlements must protect the benefits promised to the current generation. But as we look to the future, we need serious reforms that will reduce spending while preserving these important safety nets for future generations.
In 2006, then-Senator Obama said: The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.
Yet, under President Obama, we've seen record-setting deficit spending and trillions added to our national debt. The leadership failure lies with the President and others in Congress who have been unable to say ``no.'' Our objective is not arbitrary. Tax revenues are expected to remain right at the historical average of around 18 percent of the GDP. We know how much money we'll make. Now we need to sit down at the kitchen table with a calculator and figure out how to live within our means.

Anna, a young girl, played by 12-year-old, Oscar-nominee Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine), is asked to give her sister Kate a kidney transplant, and Anna says no. Her parents force her, so she decides to sue them in court.
It's controversial, as it's revealed that the reason Anna was born was so that her parents could use Anna for blood, bone marrow, and even organ donation for their eldest daughter Kate. They learned early that Kate had leukemia.
The idea of parents sacrificing the livelihood of one child for another is a premise rich with drama. Watching a family deal with a child who has cancer, as well as watching the child herself deal with that cancer, are premises rich with even more drama. Yet, all of it here felt rather un-dramatic and phony.
I agree with critics like Ben Mankiewicz who believe that using those premises intentionally to try to make the audience cry is bad form. I first rejected that argument. What's wrong with a sad drama trying to make people sad? A comedy tries to make people laugh. A horror movie tries to make people afraid.
It's not until I saw this film that I realized that the best movies are ones that don't have to try to be what they are. They simply are what they are. They don't have to force emotions on people. Those emotions merely flow naturally. Mankiewicz called the film manipulative. With lighting, music, and certain camera angles, all movies are inherently manipulative, especially genre films. They try to get you to think or feel something, but it perhaps goes too far here.
The voice-over narrations were way too sappy. When the family goes to court, we're given audio commentary about the judge that's only about pulling at the heartstrings. Not pulling but hard yanking when it was totally too much!
There were an awful lot of vomiting scenes. Yes, this is a movie about cancer and the effects of treatment, such as chemotherapy. The fact that there was vomiting didn't bother me. The problem was the method of their photography. The lighting and look of each vomiting scene were way too beautiful.
It seemed odd to me that the depiction of something so ugly and harsh could be done in a manner that was soft and pretty. I understand that it was only consistent with the way the whole film was photographed, but, somehow, the contrast in those instances made the movie feel off and wrong.
The point was to show how there comes a time when you must face death, accept it and do what you can to celebrate life. The mother in this situation, Sara Fitzgerald, played by Cameron Diaz, can't face the death of her child. She refuses to accept it, despite impossible or immoral odds to the contrary. The mother of course is the only one. Everyone else becomes enlightened more easily. It's Sara's stubbornness that fuels the court case. That came to be too much after a while.
There are interesting moments, such as the parents being so consumed by Kate's cancer that they neglect their other kids. Their son, for example, comes home late and the parents don't even notice. Unfortunately, there aren't enough of these moments.
Kate is even able to find love in the cancer ward. She starts dating a boy who's also going through leukemia. His inevitable disappearance is devastating but I had predicted it two seconds after meeting him.
A couple of years ago, I saw a great documentary about childhood cancer called A Lion in the House. The honest depiction was so much more powerful than this. It didn't need special lighting setups during moments when kids were vomiting. It didn't need a contrived court case to accentuate points about accepting life and death. It didn't need a brief, forced teen romance to get the emotions felt. The emotions flowed naturally. It didn't have to force emotions. It simply was what it was.

text: DigitalThe 5 Most Ridiculous Phone Accessories That Are Real ProductsBy Phi Tran|March 28, 2013 ShareBy Phi Tran|March 28, 2013 ShareFor the accessory-curious such as myself, ogling at weird and bizarre objects is just as entertaining as searching for useful apps. Today's top five list is an examination into the strange world of smartphone accessories that reveal just how many different types of users exists.1. iPhone Cup Holder: If you are like me, putting down a coffee cup to send a text or make a call is no big deal, but perhaps others wish to text and sip simultaneously? 2. Anti-Loneliness Soup Bowl: The product name says it all. I can't imagine watching Tampopo any other way.3. Bill Cliton iPhone Stickers: The obvious spelling error on the presidential sticker is great, but who really needs to use stickers to show Cliton is calling? You can assign any name or photos to your contacts so save yourself the $10. Besides, I know for a fact there's not a double screen iPhone.4. iPotty: I don't have children. Is this really a good idea? Personally, I have a lot of hygiene questions for parents who wants to use this.5. Handy iPhone Case: This is the perfect accessory for users who complain that their iPhones were hard to hold. This accessory is "handy."Bonus:(NSFW) Fleshlight Holder (NSFW): This accessory turns your iPad into a sex partner in the worst way imaginable. Looking at this accessory will require at least 10 cute kitten videos to help you cope with the mental stress. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2jKpJ0B copy Adweek Adweek

Firstly, the Unicorn Horn - this was almost too pretty to use but on gloomy cold evenings I love nothing more than reading a magazine in the bath so I actually used this the day after buying it! Unicorn Horn results in the most perfect bath - soft bubbles, beautifully scented water and the fragrance made my whole (very tiny) flat smell lovely for days. The Secret Garden is a traditional Lush bath bomb - look at it fizzing away! I managed to get two used out of this although the second use resulted in the bath being full of the "secret" dried flowers inside which, as lovely as they are, do end up blocking the plug hole!
The Turkish Delight shower smoothie is perfect for mornings when an hour-long bath is not an option. It smells beautiful, like summer in the countryside (I imagine) and unlike regular shower gels leaves my skin feeling really soft with a lasting fragrance. Hair-wise I picked up a Godiva shampoo and conditioner bar for the gym - I hate lugging hair products around with me and so this is perfect for my gym bag. I've used a few of these shampoo bars in the past and really like them - this one leaves my hair clean and soft and smells amazing. I also picked up Big shampoo as since getting my hair cut shorter it already looks a lot thicker but anything to boost this is still appreciated - this smells like a summer beach and gives serious volume. Probably not one for dry or damaged hair but if you have normal or fine hair its definitely worth a try. I got a free sample of the Big conditioner as I've always been intrigued about solid conditioners. A little of this goes a long way and it's perfect if you don't want to un-do the effects of the volumising shampoo.
Skincare wise, I picked up the Imperialis moisturiser as due to all the running I've been doing my skin has been so dry and I've actually needed to use moisturiser every day for the first time. This is recommended for skin that's "in between" which I feel mine is - I've graduated from the teenage skincare section but I'm not quite ready for the anti-aging section yet (I hope). Finally, I picked up a Charity Pot handcream for my desk at work and because it's all for a good cause.
Phew! That was a lot of goodies and a lot of "it smells amazing".
Have you picked up and Lush products lately?
