I've been taking these for around 2 months now. You take 1 supplement in the morning, another at night, simple. Bad things: I've been taking 1 of each pill a day, instead of 3 (so 2 a day in total, rather than 6). Only because of the morning pill. This is because multi-vitamins should be a supplement. Some of the ingredients give you well over 100% of your RDA, which can be worrying when considering what you might be taking in through food and other factors. I choose to take 1 a day because of a study that showed Vitamin E & Selenium in high doses has links in older males to some cancers. The 3 morning pills would give you 250% Vitmain E and 180% Selenium - so 1 a day gives about 83% Vitamin E and 60% Selenium. Better safe than sorry. I would love to see myprotein address this and alter the amounts somewhat for specific ingredients. Good things: No trouble with size of pills or taste - if you can swallow a tablet then you'll be fine. Those who have reported taste issues must have the thing in their mouths for too long. It is also one fo the very few supplement packages I can find that contains iodine - research why that's good for you. I do feel generally good in day to day life since taking this supplement - no ill health issues. I do also like the inclusion of amino acids in the night pill. Other: The night supplement isnt a miracle sleep pill - dont expect too much from it. It can make my eyes get that tired, burning feeling which makes you want to go to sleep, but it's not a sleeping pill! I have also noticed that my first urination after taking the morning pill is a fantastic neon green - no big deal but you might shock a guy next to you in the bathroom as I did. Suggested improvements: 1 pill a day and 1 pill at night is very easy. 3 is a bit much. If myprotein could drop the morning pill's high contents (Vit E, Selenium and others) to around 70% and up all the others (besides the metals) so they came in at 70% - and pack it all in to 1 pill - I think we'd have an amazing product to supplement a good diet. Goes Well With:Good diet
The V system. Vitamin and mineral combination is an easy and effective way to increase essential and non essential vitamin and mineral intake daily. The AM formula provides all the vitamins and minerals needed daily for an active and hectic lifestyle as well a calm lifestly with an exercise programme. The PM formula again provides you with all essential and non essential vitamins and minerals to stimulate and aid effective growth and recovery not only with muscle but natural immunity and well being. 2 tablets AM and 2 tablets PM is an extremely easy and efficient way of adding these supplements into your diet. I've been using this supplement for 6 months and can honestly say it's a first in my basket every order. Although my diet is good anyway this product gives me that reassurance and gurantee that my body is getting what it needs. The AM formula tablets have an odd taste on the tongue but because of the tablet form it's only brief and then it's gone. Over the time I have been using this product I have had an improvement in overall well being. Only side affect is that after taking the AM formula you will Notice a difference in urinating the next time you need to. Only a slight change in colour and possibly an odour. Other than that no side affects at all and is a very effective product. Definitely worth adding to any supplement stack!Goes Well With:Any supplement stack. Good diet.
this vitamin is very effective , i have been taking them for a month now and really feel the difference in my health.
The am tablets are pretty good The PM tablets are brilliant!! Be nice if you could buy the seperate They send you off to sleep even better than zma tablets I work on the doors so getting a decent sleep can be a struggle! The pm tabs help loads I'll buy again
Good, makes me a little drowsy in the morning, but sleeping much more solid
This is a must have product for any level of gym builder, Feel well recovered after taking this product; i have only been taking it for a month and already seen a massive gain in size and performance. Would recommend this product to anyone, this definitely a product that i will continue buying for the foreseeable future to come
Very good. It contains every needed vitamins and minerals.
I haven't slept so deeply in ages ! Good value for money and a multivitamin that you can actually feel working. I'll be buying it again .
The tablets are okay. Feel a bit brighter in the morning once I have taken them but it does look like I have swallowed yellow high lighter fluid when I go to the toilet. Not sure I have slept any better with the pm tablets. They are also quite large to swallow which can be a pain.
Does what it says on the pack. I can't say I''ve noticed any big changes with the am (1 week in) but then I was already taking a high volume multi before. The pm dose has definitely improved my level of sleep which is great except now my wife has to push me of the bed to feed our 5wk old in the nights.Goes Well With:An active life style
Good product, seem to be getting the right dose of vitamins, not really much else to say than it does it's job!
Very good supplement.
Can't say much really, after all MP MAX V-System is only a multi-vitamin. But it's great value for the quaintly of tablets, and the morning/night pill concept seems to have some good grounds behind it.Goes Well With:Any well-balanced diet
Smell and tasts awful but works well over all pleased rating 4 / 5Goes Well With:creatine / protein supplements
Great vitamin complex. Been taking them for a month now and am starting to see the benefits.
The PM formula of MP MAX V-System is helping me to get a deep sleep. It's very good value for the price.
The MP MAX V-System is great value for money. I would definitely recommend it to friends.
I like them, bit hard to swallow but you can feel them work in about 20 minutes
I really like MP MAX V-System. I feel much better for taking them. I've more energy, my skin looks better and just a feeling of well-being knowing you're getting all you need plus more in a couple of tablets. They're quite big but easy to swallow.
I've used MP MAX V-System for nearly a year now. Firstly I've found myself not getting ill at all. Not had a cough, cold or anything so that's a massive plus, so I can keep on training. Morning ones help boost energy when I'm tired and the pm ones help me get a good night's sleep! I would highly recommend them, however taste is very poor but you don't buy them for the taste so it's not a negative.
Good vits in good dose in the am pack and the pm pack helps me get a good nights sleep.good value all for more all less the same price as z.m.aGoes Well With:Impact whey
MP MAX V-System makes me sleep like a baby at night and feel energised in the morning, with no side effects at all. It's a good product at a fair price!
I have found that when I take MP MAX V-System regularly after meals in the morning I feel more alert and productive through the day. The evening dose does help settle me down after a long, hectic day at work too.
I was disappointed after I found out that magnesium oxide is used that has the lowest absorbability of all magnesium forms (around 4%) even worse than magnesium stearate
This has been a brilliant buy. The am formula has given the energy and focus to go at the day whislt the pm formula has helped improve sleep massively. I've even encouraged my PT clients to get some. Will definitely be buying this again!Goes Well With:Anything.
I'm not into reviews and always feel that they are made up, but I'm going to change my concept and let you know about this product. For the price this MP MAX V-System out shines all other vitamin systems, it is that potent when you go to the toilet you glow (if you get what I'm saying). Yes on swallowing the 3 pills there is a slight after taste, but as for daily intake this has all areas covered. I take this daily with my BCCA and I'm pretty much covered, the night does make me relaxed as I do seem to be turning off and relaxing with ease.
I wanted an all in one supportive supplement, for the start of the day and night time, and this is great, it allows a great nights deep sleep, the morning supplement is strong and perks you up, for me personally I feel a little nausea but nothing to be concerned about as you can feel its effectiveness and support in the gym, everyone has different tolerances so please do let this put you off this product. I will continually take this now.
MP MAX V-System is a good supplement. I was taking multiple pills for the same job. These sort you out for a month, they're a solid purchase and I would recommend them.Goes Well With:Cla, thermopure, l carnitine
I have been using MP Max V-system for around 2 weeks now, my initial thoughts are it is quite effective unless you are wanting to lose weight. I train before work at around 6:30 am so I have breakfast then the tablets. I have found that I have had quite a lot of energy whilst in the gym and this seems to continue through the day. I'm not sure if the PM tablets have helped with my sleeping pattern yet. But overall I'm very happy with the purchase.Goes Well With:Soy Protein
The MP MAX V-System is an awesome and well thought out package! I definitely notice a sense of all round well-being and lack of allergies and sniffles when taking these! I love the little touches like the chamomile in the night time vitamins too!
I used to take alpha men as multivitamin because it worked great for me , this time and before I ran out of Alpha men bottle I decided to try out the MP MAX V-System, I liked the idea of having a super boost ingredients in the am then another calming one at night time. Now it's the the end of the 2nd week, I don't mind giving it 5 stars on taste and mix-ability since it's a pills supplement. I noticed in am formula the sting of the ginger which one of the ingredients of the performance blend, well made and with the ginseng it gives a real boost to kick start the day. The pm formula is well made too, with the amino acids I can clearly notice better recovery next morning. Overall it's a good product and I'll be switching between it and alpha men seasonally . Goes Well With:busy life style
This MP MAX V-System is a good product, I recommend.
MP MAX V-System is a great product and outstanding quality.
Great vitamins!!!Goes Well With:Myprotein Impact Whey Isolate & Myprotein Calcium Caseinate Instantised
After using MP MAX V-System for only a week and a half, I noticed a big difference. I'm more alert and bright in the morning, and I felt as if I had loads more energy to go to the gym after a long day at work. The biggest difference was the PM tablets. I felt sleepy after 20 minutes of taking them and had a full nights sleep (and I usually get up once through the night). I felt really refreshed in the morning. I love the product and will be buying again.
MP MAX V-System is a very handy supplement. It kickstarts your body well. The night time ones don't really relax me per se. Make sure you take each one with a decent amount of water, as they're big and if you catch the taste it's horrible!Goes Well With:thermopure, whey protein, green tea cla
Not sure about the AM tablets but I am definitely sleeping better after taking PM tablets. Only been using for about 2 weeks.
I've been using these MP MAX V-System tablets for a week now, and haven't noticed much difference to be honest. I suffer for muscle ache for a couple days after a hard work out, which seems to have eased but this is difficult to tell if it's the pills alone. I will continue with them but I'm not sure about a repeat purchase.
MP MAX V-System has made me feel more healthy.
I got this for free, and am impressed by it. Both formulas include many vitamins that enhance perfomance and recovery, so I've felt better since taking them. I'm especially impressed by the PM formula: not only does it prevent muscle catabolism, but it made me sleep like a baby. It does turn my urine green though, with is because of the high amount of Vitamin B, not all of which is digested, so don't panic if it happens to you. I would say that they are quite large and slighly hard to swallow. I recommend for athletes with weak gag reflexes :PGoes Well With:A healthy diet.
Overall I really like this product! It tastes horrible and the tablets are big so if you cant swallow big tablets this wont be for you, that said once they're down, they're down! I have definitely noticed I am more alert since taking these and sleep better also. I've been 2 of each supplement a day as i find swallowing 3 abit much for me, but i don't feel like i receive any less of the benefits!Goes Well With:Omega 3 Supplement, Impact Whey Protien, Superfood XS
Overall, very good. So far I feel I have more energy and I am more alertGoes Well With:everything
The MP MAX V-System AM pills have a slight peppery taste as other reviews have mentioned, but it passes in a few minutes. The PM pills have an odd taste. I haven't been taking them for very long so cannot comment on the long term effectiveness, but it has good amounts of each vitamin.
MP MAX V-System tastes terrible. It may be too big to swallow for some. Personally, it had no effect for me whatsoever.
Over the years I have used numerous vitamin complexes but I do have to say these are the best to date. And the cheapest without lesser quality. Will buy again and again.
The tablets were quite big and hard to swallow, especially 3 of them. They tasted quite hot and sometimes felt they worked, but usually hard to tell if it's them or just your mind making you feel healthy. Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone interested in being healthy, especially trying I get a good body.
MP MAX V-System provides a good number of vitamins and other nutrients and I generally feel healthier for taking this. Previously I took Alpha Men and it seems to be fairly equal two weeks in to taking this. The PM formula is said to help you relax for bedtime but I can't say I feel any more tired after taking them than I do without. Be sure to swallow the AM pills quickly as hey have a strong peppery taste!
I decided to take MP on their word. Their MP MAX V-System is revolutionary, offering a two stage supplement with loads of benefits. I was intrigued...multi vitamins are something I sometimes take but never religiously. So I popped some in the basket and have been taking them for a month now. So have I gone from super skinny to super muscly? Have I grown wings like a certain drink company promises? Well, no. I have however noticed that I have lost body fat (about 2%), just to note... no other changes to my diet or workouts have changed during this time. My alertness in the morning is much better, I am more focused and feel a natural boost in the mornings. In the evenings taking the 3 PM formula pills about an hour before bed help to have a nice calming, soothing effect helping me to transition from hectic workout mode to lazy Sunday morning relaxation mode. The AM pill has a spicy taste to it, well of course it's going to have a little kick to it 30-40k on the scoville scale will do that. It's quite a nice way to kick you into gear if you are half asleep still. The taste is not the most amazing one I have ever had, but who's had a nice multi vitamin, these are not cola cubes! The size of the pills are a little on the large size so be prepared to do a good gulp to get them down, but a few days of doing it you find the best way is just to go for it. Make a game of it, down them in less than 5 seconds or you have to do 10 sets of plyometric squats. I know what I'd prefer. So lets sum this up... Why go buy some TV endorsed, hugely over priced, promises the earth multi-vitamin from the local pharmacy/supermarket when you can buy a straight to the point, reasonably priced and does exactly what it says on the cardboard box? Well after another order for more I know where my money is going, MP.Goes Well With:Vitamin D3
The Myprotein MP MAX® V-System morning pills taste peppery and are easy to digest, and do seem to give you a bit of a buzz in the morning. The PM evening pills are very large, and personally I find them hard to swallow. I have tried to cut them in half but they are very sharp/jagged if you do this. I don't believe they affect my sleep pattern at all, 5HTP works much better or melatonin supplements. I will return to ALPHA men after this.

Beautiful quilt and the house is not too bad either. What a view! It looks like the quilt could end up as one of those long term projects where you find a few fabrics at a time.

I love that quilt! Are the ties at the center of each diamond the only "quilting?" I have been wanting to make a tied quilt for ages but am concerned about how it will wear. In any event, that is gorgeous.

That quilt is so beautiful! I am really new to quilting, I've only made 3 so far.. I'd love to recreate that thing, but it baffles me how you would go about it. Would you really piece together seven strips for each block, and then join them together, or is it simpler than that?

You crack me up! Now see....where you are in life totally affects your definition of "vintage". I call vintage quilts, ummmm, I'd say 1950's and before. 1970's? Dang it girl, you're making me feel really old!

Love this quilt and love its location. Can I be that quilt, it sounds like it has had a happy life. Hey are you going to do a tutorial or quiltalong on this one. Would love to join in. Thank you for sharing.

what an awesome quilt! thank-you for sharing it with us, I can't wait to see the others!

Thimbleanna - I think in this case "vintage" means "Characterized by excellence, maturity, and enduring appeal; classic."
I have a vintage '65 log cabin wedding quilt, myself. A gift from my maternal grandmother.
Quilters then used wider strips and red solids and made happy quilts. - September 7, 2011 at 7:31 AM

Billing Statement FAQs
Last Updated: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 > Related Articles
Includes the timing of statements, delivery options, and definitions of billing terms and charges.
Have questions about your bill? The following frequently-asked questions may assist you. If you do not see your question listed, try these help files:
Cox Communications bills all customers in advance for the normal monthly service charges; whereas usage-based charges, such as pay-per-view movies and long distance phone calls, will be reflected in the very next bill.
In other words, a bill received at the beginning of a month, is for the TV, Internet, and Phone services to be delivered that month, and is for an amount due at the end of that month. Items that could not possibly be billed in advance are any additional purchases or credits made after your statement was mailed or posted. These items, such as PPV movie rentals, additional long distance phone calls, product upgrades, a professional installation one time charge, or late payment fees will be reflected in the very next bill mailed or posted.
If you added or removed TV, Internet, or Phone services in the middle of, or during, a month or billing period, then you've only used a partial month of the service. The charge or credit for that partial month will appear on the next statement.
If you disagree with the outcome of an investigation related to telephone service, contact the Public Utilities Commission in your area. The address is printed on your Cox billing statement.
Yes. You can:
- Change your billing address for mailed statements
- Go paperless with our email reminder service for making payments online
Either way, click View/Pay Bill and select the bill delivery options that suit you the best.
More Details:
- Billing address. We can mail you a paper bill to the house or apartment where Cox services are installed; this is called your service address. Or we can mail the bill to different address; this is called your "billing address." The service and billing address can be the same or different.
- Email reminder. We can also send you an email whenever your next bill is posted on our secured View/Pay Bill website; this is called the e-bill or stop paper bill option.
There are no restrictions on delivery. You can elect to have both a paper bill mailed to you and an e-bill reminder emailed to you. You can change these delivery options at any time.
We are happy to assist you with this. You can either call or email us with the date you would like your payment due date to be. Depending on the number of days in the month, your payment due date may be on or about the same date each month.
Also, your next bill amount following the change is usually larger because it includes additional days offset by the new billing cycle. Some restrictions apply. Your account must be in good standing.
Yes. If your account is current on monthly payments, we can consolidate all or your services into one billing statement. Call us for assistance.
Yes. If your account is current on monthly payments, we can split your statement into a TV bill, an Internet bill, and a Phone bill. Call or email us for assistance.
Depending on the number of days in the month, your payment due date may be on or about the same day each month.
If you have not paid a past due statement, then the next due date is temporarily accelerated to reflect any additional per-use charges. Once the delinquent amount has been received, your regular billing cycle due date will be restored
A one time charge is separate from your monthly recurring charges for TV, Internet, and Phone service, equipment, and feature packages.
A one time charge can include the cost of a professional installation, changing services, , reconnecting service due to non-payment, or an unreturned remote control to name a few.
If you pay your bill after the Due By date, or have a payment returned by your financial institution, or you have a significant increase in usage-based charges, such as long distance, Cox may require a new or additional deposit. The deposit must be paid by cash, money order or credit card.
Yes. You can view your last 18 statements online by clicking View/Pay Bill. To learn more about how to view your current bill and past statements online, refer to Accessing Your Bill Online or you can use your smartphone or mobile device. See View Your Bill Statement With Cox Mobile Connect.

Hunter syndrome is an inherited disease in which long chains of sugar molecules (mucopolysaccharides ) are not broken down correctly and build up in the body.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II, Iduronate sulfatase deficiency
Hunter syndrome is an inherited condition, where the affected gene is on the X chromosome. Therefore, boys are most often affected.
The condition is caused by a lack of the enzyme iduronate sulfatase. Without this enzyme, mucopolysaccharides build up in various body tissues, causing damage.
The early-onset, severe form of the disease begins shortly after age 2. A late-onset, mild form causes less severe symptoms to appear later in life.
Juvenile form (early-onset, severe form):
Late (mild) form:
Both forms:
Signs of the disorder include:
Tests may include:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the first treatment for Hunter syndrome. The medicine, called idursulfase (Elaprase), is given through a vein (intravenously). Talk to your doctor for more information.
Bone marrow transplant has been tried for the early-onset form, but the results can vary.
Each health problem should be treated separately.
People with the early-onset (severe) form usually live for 10 - 20 years. People with the late-onset (mild) form usually live 20 - 60 years.
Call your health care provider if:
Genetic counseling is recommended for couples who want to have children and who have a family history of Hunter syndrome. Prenatal testing is available. Carrier testing for female relatives of affected males is available at a few centers.

FASHION RENOVATION: Paris designer boutique Maria Luisa, owned by French style maven Maria Luisa Poumaillou, is ditching its spot on the Rue Cambon after 20 years. Poumaillou wants to regroup women's fashions and accessories, which had been spread over two shops, under one roof. Poumaillou hopes to open the larger store, just around the corner on the Rue Rouget de l'Isle, by mid-June. The men's store will remain on the Rue du Mont Thabor in a separate location.
FLOWER POWER: Note to those who get handed a rose from a stranger at Manhattan's Grand Central Terminal next week — don't say "no." The rose is part of a new initiative by the "A Diamond is Forever" campaign, with each of the 1,000 roses handed out daily from next Wednesday to Friday tagged with a number that could land the recipient a $5,000 diamond three-stone necklace once they log onto Adiamondisforever.com. As part of the campaign, Antony Todd will create a floral installation spelling out the "A Diamond is Forever" logo in red roses, which will be kicked off with a luncheon inside Grand Central next Tuesday. The likes of Claire Danes, Diane Kruger, Natasha Richardson, Evan Rachel Wood, Helena Christensen and Coco Rocha are expected to attend the luncheon.
ARMOR ALL: Colette's traffic-stopping windows in Paris are not — we repeat not — the latest collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. Rather the two armorlike suits on display, made from spliced-up genuine Murakami bags, are the work of wacky Paris design collective Andrea Crews in collaboration with the Tokyo-based French artist Item Idem and the set designer A. Bertin & Fils Ltée. "It's about reappropriating the empire," said Maroussia Rebecq, the creative director of Andrea Crews. Commenting on fashion's arbitrary approach to pricing, one suit retails for around $11,000, while the other is half-price, she said.

Studio HT's plan to filter and transport recyclng waste mimics human digestion.
Play Slideshow >>
Denver Filter
STREET ACCESS The system is designed so that pedestrians can drop recyclables into a receptacle at street level that connects directly to the tunnels, which move the items through the city to predetermined exit points.
MAGNET MECHANISM A series of electromagnets would encircle each of the flexible tube linings, causing the tubes to contract and expand based on the attractive and repellent properties of the magnets themselves. This would mimic the smooth muscle contractions of the human intestines, called peristalsis.
RECYCLING TUNNEL By connecting the collection receptacles directly to the tunnels, the system requires relatively few moving parts, in turn needing much less maintenance by city workers.
MOVEMENT OF WASTE To ensure that the tunnels aren't overcome by storm water, a perforated metal grate sits near each opening, allowing water to run off through a link to the existing storm sewer system.
What began as an exercise in designing a new recycling kiosk for downtown Denver became a larger meditation on the solid waste collection systems of modern cities, resulting in the design of a large-scale system for moving waste. The specific question that architects Studio HT strove to answer over the course of their research was, as stated in their entry, "How can the activity of recycling achieve greater alignment between the methods and intention?"
The team examined the systems of conveyors and sorters at the local recycling plant and transferred the notion of conveyor belts in a factory to a series of underground tunnels, linked to a series of designated input and output points—much like sewers. To move the waste through the tunnels, the team looked to principles of biomimetics: By using electromagnets to expand and contract a flexible membrane inside each tunnel, waste can be moved along by an action similar to peristalsis, the movement of the intestines during human digestion. This membrane, with few mechanical components that could fail, would push the waste along to the designated dump site without relying on water.
The jury viewed the Denver Filter as a utopian idea and admired the entrants' process. "In order for waste to be reintegrated in the whole cycle of life, you have to remake the way we understand how we live in cities," Chris Genik said. "Here's somebody putting their foot down and saying, 'First, we're going to have to reinvent the infrastructure and then see what else we need to do.'"
Andres Lepik, too, was taken by the idea, with some reservations: "It has this utopian energy. They're not answering all the questions, but they're opening up new ways of thinking about a city, about how a city in the future can work, even if this is not a system which will ever work." Genik wasn't as quick to dismiss the system's real-world feasibility. "Don't you imagine that, for example, the New York sewer system could be retrofitted with a series of tubular structures that could enable this, and you just use conventional manholes to dump waste in?" he speculated. "There's a part of it that's absolutely visionary and there's another aspect of it that's just retro-fitting wherever it exists."

The VDRL test is a screening test for syphilis. It measures substances, called antibodies, that your body may produce if you have come in contact with the bacteria that causes syphilis. This bacteria is called Treponema pallidum.
The test is similar to the newer rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test.
Venereal disease research laboratory test
The test is usually done using a blood sample. It can also be done using a sample of spinal fluid. This article discusses the blood test.
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel moderate pain, or only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test is used to screen for syphilis. Your health care provider may order this test if you have signs and symptoms of a sexually transmitted illness (STI).
Syphilis screening is a routine part of prenatal care during pregnancy. Several states also require screening for syphilis prior to obtaining a marriage license.
A negative test is normal. It means that no antibodies to syphilis have been seen in your blood sample.
The screening test is most likely to be positive in the secondary and latent stages of syphilis. This test may give a false-negative result during early- and late-stage syphilis. This test must be confirmed with another blood test to make the diagnosis of syphilis.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A positive test result may mean you have syphilis. If the test is positive, the next step is to confirm the results with an FTA-ABS test, which is a more specific syphilis test.
The VDRL test's ability to detect syphilis depends on the stage of the disease. The test's sensitivity to detect syphilis nears 100% during the middle stages; it is less sensitive during the earlier and later stages.
Some conditions may cause a false positive test, including:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
The body does not always produce antibodies specifically in response to the syphilis bacteria, so this test is not always accurate.

If you want to drink at Death & Company, you talk to the guy standing outside with the pad and pen. In winter, he'll be the one donning a puffy coat as big as a monster-truck tire. You give him your name, your cell's digits and the number of people in your party — a number which should always be exactly two. (Seven's the max, but take a moment to picture seven liquored friends trying to divvy up a tab of several $13 cocktails.)
He'll then instruct you to go somewhere else (try Tile Bar or the McDonald's on the corner) until you get a call from him that your table's ready. This is when you kindly inform him that you'd actually prefer seats at the bar. This is how you will insure having the time of your life at Death & Co. — and getting your money's worth.
No offense to the cocktail waitresses, but I don't drink away my monthly car-insurance premium to chitchat with them tableside once every 20 minutes. I'm looking for dinner and a show, which is what the bartenders put on nightly. These guys (and one woman that I've seen so far) are rock stars, brandishing their shakers the way guitarists thrash at their Fenders. (Given their pre-Prohibition ties, vests and shirtsleeves, I'm guessing the band they'd be in is The Decemberists.) You will soak up more cocktail knowledge from them in an hour than you will watching Cocktail 297 times; I may not remember where I left my cell phone this weekend, but I remember the name of the first-ever bartender I had there (Alex Day).
Having said all that, this cocktail may be one of the easiest on Death & Co.'s menu that even us mere mortals can successfully fashion. Have it with brunch, and use any leftover Grandma on your French toast.
The Golden Gate
(Adapted from Death & Company)
2 ounces Grand Marnier
3/4 ounce grapefruit juice
1/2 ounce lime juice
1/2 ounce B & B
2 teaspoons Campari
Combine all ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake it like a rock star. Strain into snifter.

…and New York Fashion Week Begins
Among the skyscrapers of New York City, the Fall/Winter 2014 fashion week is underway. While businessmen are wearing the same suits they would any other week, doctors still wearing scrubs to the hospital, and police in blue, some parts of the city are spending a little extra time getting ready for a week when every sidewalk becomes a runway.
Journalists and editors are all sitting at fashionable hotel lobbies, tapping out reviews as stacks of invites overflow from their attaché cases. Party kids are texting everyone they know trying to score coveted +1s to the biggest after-parties at the most exclusive venues. Club managers getting ready for nights when the most beautiful crowds will fill their banquets. And models are running from casting to casting with their book in hand.
Among the hustle, the fashion designers themselves are conspicuously absent, hidden away in their studios preparing for their big debuts – only to emerge with a bow at their show, and then again at their party with a drink in hand for one last sleepless night before they can finally rest.
The fun has just begun. It's going to be a long week with days filled with beautiful clothes and unforgettable nights, and Absolut will be in the center of the action.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Ever Higher: The Campaign for Westminster College was so successful during its non-public phase that the Board of Trustees approved raising the campaign goal to $50 million during its Nov. 3 meeting.
Westminster College launched the public phase of the most successful fundraising campaign in the independent liberal arts college's 160-year history on September 21 with a campus-wide celebration and announcement that Westminster had already raised $36.4 million for Ever Higher: The Campaign for Westminster College.
Most colleges expect to raise about half of the campaign goal during the initial, or quiet, phase of the campaign. Westminster reached 91 percent of Ever Higher's $40-million goal during the past two years. Ever Higher, with several years remaining in the campaign, has raised $37,241,558 and surpassed the $35 million raised by Westminster's Heritage Campaign in the early 1990s.
"From an initial working goal of $40 million, we have had outstanding success from the generosity of alumni and friends of Westminster," Westminster College President Dr. Richard Dorman said. "Their generosity and belief in Westminster's mission empowers us to increase our ambitious goal and invest in our students, faculty, facilities and programs."
The goal for the "People & Programs" component of the campaign was increased to $15 million from $9.5 million, and the goal for "Facility & Campus Improvements" increased from $16.5 to $21 million.
Ever Higher: The Campaign for Westminster College priorities:
- People & Programs -- $15 million for endowed scholarships, faculty development, academic program enhancements, and the John & Elizabeth Drinko Center for Experiential Learning
- Facility & Campus Improvements -- $21 million for Patterson Hall renovation, Hoyt Science Center renovation, construction of Berlin Village Phase II student townhouses, athletics, and campus landscaping
- The Westminster Fund -- $8 million in annual gifts to the Westminster Fund scholarship contributions to reduce educational expenses for all students and enhance academic, athletic, and student life programs
- Legacy Gifts for Our Future -- $6 million in future gifts to endowment through trusts, bequests, charitable gift annuities, and other long-term arrangements to create a permanent donor legacy
"Ever Higher is all about the students and the myriad ways they will benefit from the generosity of our donors," according to Gloria Cagigas, vice president for institutional advancement. "Westminster is blessed with loyal alumni, faculty, staff, and friends of the College who choose to make an investment in Westminster's people and programs. They understand that enriching the lives of our students will pay dividends today and in the future as our students will uplift the lives of people everywhere."

Boa Vista
It's a land full of contrasts, the one fitting in the 620 square kilometers long island that the Portuguese first called São Cristóvão, and then named Boa Vista, in honor of the wonders awaiting those who visit it. In the windward islands of Cape Verde, as the easternmost point of the archipelago that sits closest to the African continent, Boa Vista has its highest point in Pico d'Estância, around 390 meters high. From above, one can spot the landscape bouncing between the dunes – the reason why it is also known as the island of the dunes – and the waves of the sea – Boa Vista has the largest, most secret and luxuriant beaches of Cape Verde.
On the one hand, you will see an earthy tone scenery, mostly because of the Viana Desert, a miniature Sahara, which was formed due to the Harmattan winds that have been blowing for centuries. On the other hand, you will find the opulence of the turquoise waters of the Atlantic. But prior to enjoying the wonders of the coast, take some time to visit Sal-Rei, the capital of Boa Vista, where you can follow the trace of the colonial heritage.

Wendy stitched this borage as the model. She sent me a photo, labeling it "borage – done". Which of course it is not. I'm trying to be careful about that now. Borage needs some black and white in the middle, and then the little spiky leaves done too.
But this is the big part, and for the next session (officially 8-11 August, but any time the week of the 4th can work as Tricia will be here working on GOLD) we'll have borage directions. This is good, because in the master pattern borage is the only motif that repeats.
It's a three-across, four-down repeat, and borage appears in the middle of the top row and at the left end of the bottom row (as Tricia drew it – it's a repeat so theoretically you could start anywhere and repeat outward). So twice as many borages, sort of. Lots of opportunity to use the spectacular dark blue gilt sylke twist. See you soon?
To address the questions in the comments about comparing the lace gold thread to the embroidery gold thread, and how the embroidery gold thread is made, and the needles, and that, we'll have to wait till Tricia comes back from vacation and can let us know. I'd say maybe towards the end of next week? I know she'll get us the information as soon as she can.
I think there will be plenty of goldwork to do aside from the coiling vines, too. I was thinking, the tops of the foxgloves and pea pods are gold. The vine has many curliques (which it may be should be worked as you come to them, but maybe they're separate, I don't know) which will be gold. Most of the leaves have gold veins. The rose, strawberry flower, pansy and honeysuckle all have gold centers. The straight lines that stick out of the columbine and honeysuckle blossoms might be gold. (No, I don't mentally catalog the work left to do, over and over. Why do you ask?) So we may well have goldwork available to those who either don't want to or can't match the established stitch density of the plaited braid. All of which to say, don't worry, there's plenty work to go around.
The other day I heard from some embroiderers who hadn't sent in a sample or signed up to stitch because they were nervous about having their work "judged". We're really not using the samples to judge, or to keep anyone away. No one's been refused. The samples let us take advantage of everyone's strongest skill, and give Wendy and Tricia a starting point for helping to improve everyone's stitching. Even those very experienced with this kind of embroidery have reported that after a few pointers and two days of practice, their work has improved and they go faster. Several have called the embroidery weekends a kind of 'master class', with individual attention (Wendy & Tricia usually have 20-25 students in a class and here we never have more than and lots of time to practice.
So don't let that keep you away. Come stitch. This chance won't be here much longer. I swear.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Five Westminster College political science alumni discussed the significance of the 2012 elections in a panel in February that was open to the entire Westminster campus. Each alumnus was involved in the elections, from working on a campaign to covering the elections for the media.
The following alumni participated in the panel:
- Ethan Frey `10 was the regional field director for the Obama Presidential Campaign in Columbus, Ohio, and is currently a program analyst in democratic participation at the Ford Foundation.
- Sara (Bresnahan) Kennedy `01 was the district director for Representative Mike Turzai, majority leader for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives; and was a delegate to the 2012 Republican National Convention.
- Jessica (Rummel) Metzger `05 is a producer for CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer" and was a member of the production team for CNN's election year coverage.
- Russell W. Mills `05 is an assistant professor of political science at Bowling Green State University. His research focuses on American politics and has been quoted as an expert commentator on the Presidential election in USA Today, the Columbus Dispatch and the Toledo Blade.
- Tony Tammaro `12 is the legislative aide to Pennsylvania State Senator Elder Vogel., Jr., and an organizer for the 2012 Vogel and Romney campaigns.
"The event brought together five young alumni of great accomplishment who played important roles in the 2012 election campaigns. It demonstrated the quality of our younger political science alumni, and the variety of ways political science majors can make a difference in politics, and do so very soon after graduation," said Dr. Edward S. Cohen, associate professor of political science at Westminster College, and chair of the Department of Political Science and Sociology.
The program in political science is designed to provide the student with knowledge of political theory, of the American political system, of the political systems of other areas of the world, and of international politics and institutions. The political science program prepares students for careers in government service, teaching, law, and related professional and graduate study. It also offers electives in support of major programs in other disciplines.
Contact Cohen at (724) 946-7304 or email for additional information.

Blue Glass Yorkshire Dispenser
Great quality product at very affordable price!
I ordered two of these for my daughter's wedding reception. I was so excited to get them at such a reasonable price, half the cost of other retailers. They were shipped in a very timely manner also. I will definitely be checking this website for future purchases!
November 25, 2013
Great Big Water Jug
I saw this at my store but waited a week to go back and buy it. When I got there they were all gone. I went online and found them. The shipping for two was only $7.95 for two.. pretty great. I bought a blue and a clear one and figured I would give one as a gift.
When I filled the blue one up... it leaked. I tightened the spout carefully so as not to break it. It leaked again. This time I got serious with a wrench and tightened again... no more leaks. My daughter in law saw mine on the counter and went crazy.. she got the clear one!
October 22, 2013
Love This Blue glass Decanter!
I bought this decanter for my daughter's 23rd birthday. My husband and I decided to give her a check and when I found this, I knew she'd love it! Problem was, she came over to our house and saw it just after unpacked from the box...asked me about it...I said I bought it for myself. I could tell she really liked it. When she and her boyfriend came over for her birthday dinner; boy oh boy was she surprised and "thrilled" when she saw it sitting by her birthday card! She said, "Mom, did you really buy that for me...?!!!" We both love it! Very pretty color and it's a Mason Jar...what's not to love!
October 4, 2013
I filled the jar with Lemon Aid, slices or lemon and strawberries for a big family gathering. Everyone was talking about it, they loved it.
And so did I.
September 21, 2013
Love This!
I just received this dispenser and I love it. I'm a big Mason jar fan and I wanted this the minute I saw it. When I first opened the box, I disappointed to see that an incorrect item had been shipped. The packing list was correct, so it was easy to see that it was simple human error. A few minutes on the phone with customer service fixed everything and the correct item was shipped immediately. At first, I was worried about leaking, but my husband tightened the nut with a wrench and it's perfectly fine now. If it had continued to leak, I would have simply run some silicone caulk around the outside of the seal. No worries! For the price, it's quite a find. I'm sure I'll get compliments soon when it's filled with lemonade at an upcoming bridal shower. Thank you!
July 24, 2013
Love the container. Wish the spiket was not plastic.
June 26, 2013
Love this!
I saw this dispenser on a blog and as soon as I read it was from World Market I got on the WM website and bought it. I LOVE this dispenser! It's beautiful and I can't believe it's on 19.99! I would pay twice that and it's worth it. The only complaint I have is that the spicket is plastic. I wish it were metal, but since I'm using it for decoration it really doesn't matter. This is a steal and I promise you will be thrilled with it!
June 26, 2013
This is the most gorgeous shade of blue and high quality glass for a great price.
I love this container! Shipping was so fast, my only issue was with the spigot. I tried to tighten the washer, but it still leaked terribly. I had my husband get $2 sealing tape and wrap the stem of the spigot. Worked perfectly after that. If world market can get a better spigot it would be perfect. Can't beat the 19.99 price!

My banking ideas may have caught the attention of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I like my banking to be FREE and REAL TIME and PRIVATE. I have a proposal for how the central bank could more effectively issue credit directly to the consumers through a totally automated PRIVATE NONPROFIT. We don't need for-profit banks to administer our central bank credit. We can automate that task completely. Say, "Thank you" to the scientific community. We don't need to create new money as debt. That model was corrupt and inefficient. It was a system of slavery. Consumers were owned outright by the central banks. They called it "Sovereign Debt." Have you ever heard of fractional reserve banking? Slavery by con men. That's not what we're all about around here. We are, fundamentally, advanced technologists. We can design happier societies than that. That system sucked for the average citizens. Our systems work without the intentional generation of debt as a revenue model. We are all about a smarter banking system that serves the PUBLIC INTEREST better than those financed with debt.

Vintage Monde Book End
Great product but...
The bookend was very attractive and seemed well made. I only wish I had paid attention to the fact that only ONE bookend comes in the order. This was a Christmas present for my daughter so it was a little disappointing when I opened the box to check it out before wrapping it, and there was only one bookend in the box.
January 25, 2013
This product is pretty, but…
This product is really pretty, but buyer beware…they display two in the photo, but you are really only purchasing one. You get a bookend, not a set of bookends.

Li Liu, MD
Ultima Vez Modificado: 1 de noviembre del 2001
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
Eleven years ago, I had radiation to the neck area. I now have numbness in my right hand and wrist due to scare tissue pinching the median nerve in the neck. Is there any solution to this problem?
Thank you.
Li Liu, MD, OncoLink Editorial Assistant, responds:
Thank you for your interest and question.
It is impossible to make recommendations without knowing the detailed history, including diagnosis, stage of disease, radiation field, daily and total dose of radiation, surgery, chemotherapy, and other medical conditions.
The median nerve comes off the brachial plexus near the shoulder. Nerve roots from cervical spine C5 through C8 and the first thoracic vertebra form the brachial plexus. Compression and/or damage of median nerve has unique clinical pictures, represented as numbness and loss of flexion of wrist, thumb, index, and middle finger, thumb opposition, and atrophy of the eminence (ball of thumb) if the damage is long enough.
Fibrosis (scar) is one of the most common long-term radiation side effects. It is time, dose (both total dose and daily dose), and site dependent. Peripheral nerves, such as the median nerve have relatively high radiation tolerance. Crippling, deforming or adhesion of skin and/or soft tissue causes the dysfunction of nerves the majority of time. Physical therapy and occupational therapy may play roles in this setting. If the nerve itself is not damaged, then surgical decompression may be helpful.
It is always important to rule out other causes, such as recurrent cancer, connective tissue disease, diabetes, infection, or medication induced neuropathy. A MRI of the brachial plexus may be helpful in diagnosing the problem. You should talk to your doctor about your problem.
