The college News VOL. XXIV, No. 4 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1937 Copyright TRUSTEES OF BRYN MAWR COLLEGE, 1937 PRICE 10 CENTS Concept of Time Unites Pagan Past, Christian Present Visual and Emotional Synthesis Aim of Renaissance, Says Mr. Panofsky TIME IN THREE GUISES DURING THIS PERIOD The President� � Attended a meeting yesterday of the executive committee and the com- mittee of review of the College En- trance Examination Board in New York. Is attending meetings today of the Cbllege Entrance Examination Board and Will go with Miss "Ward arid Miss Lehr to the Five College Conference at Smith College on Saturday. Will attend a meeting of the Board of Directors of the/Bryn Mawr Col- lege Summer School on Sunday. Impartial Information Presented by F. P. A. Luncheon Meetings Held Monthly In Philadelphia Goodhart, October- 25. � Renais- sance and Baroque representations of Time fused classical and mediaeval elements into the figure we know to- day as Father Time, said Professor Panofsky in the third Flexner lec- ture. Father Time as we see him is a combination of the "brief decisive moment" of the classicists, and the image of Time, the Destroyer created in the late Middle Ages. The revivalist spirit of the Renais- sance' did not confine itself to rein- stating classical types within the limits of the classical sphere, but aimed at a visual and emotional syn- thesis between the pagan past and the Christian present. This syn- thesis was achieved either by the re- interpretati<}ic of classical images (which were invested with new sym- bolic content of a secular but defi- nitely non-classical character) or by the natural merging of classical and mediaeval traditions in the Renais- sance. The seperability of the differ- ent elements in these unions resulted in a transmutation and fusion, which in turn brought about a pseudo- morpki8, by which Renaissance- fig- ures received a meaning not present in their classical prototypes. Father Time is one of .these reputedly clai- .sue?'' its more' complete fortnightly sical characters who managed to withstand the wholesale elimination of humanistic elements in the last century. In ancient art there are two main types of images of Time: Time is frequently represented as the moment of opportunity on which fates of men and worlds turn; or .Time may sym- bolize inexhaustible creativeness. In both representations the figure has , none of the attributes of the modern "Father Time, but is young and vigor- ous. In other words, the ancients thought of Time as possessing infinite fertility and universal power, or fleeting speed and precarious balance, but never as the relentless, pursuer of all men. Early philosophers used the simi- v larity between the Greek words for Time and Saturn as a proof of the identity between the two conceptions. In order to strengthen the associa- tion, they reinterpreted the god's at- tributes as symbols of Time. How- Continued on Page Four Little Entente Born In Independence Hall Czechoslovakian President Was Advised bVMr^H. A. Miller In War Crisis TO SPEAK ON MASARYK (Especially contributed by the Publication1 Office.) Herbert Adolphtfs Miller, Ameri- can, and lecturer in sociology at Bryn Mawr College, .is a man indelibly as- sociated with the establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic. The charac- ter of Masaryk, its President, the story of its founding and the un- written drama of its national recog- nition are the themes of the public lecture which Mr. Miller will give on Wednesday evening, November 3, in Goodhart Hall, under the auspices of the Graduate Club. Mr. Miller will give this lecture as a tribute to the late President Masaryk who Emil Ludwig in his biography of Masaryk, Defender of Democracy, asserts was the greatest statesman in Europe. Mr. Miller calls his lecture, Masaryk, Practical Ideal- ist, Teacher of Men and of Nations. The association of Mr. Miller with President Masaryk is itself a roman- tic story. In 1912 Mr. Miller was working on the subject of Americani- zation as a branch of his general field of sociology. He discovered that throughout the country, Czech com- munities, although they were com- posed of American citizens, were giv- ing their money and their thought to the preservation of Czech ideals and ultimate freedom of the state. He Practical Approach Preferred by Most For Speakers in Sunday Night Chapel (Especially contributed by Louise Morley, '1,0.) The fact that there are two wars in progress in two different parts of the globe makes international rela- tions a popular and, moreover, an ex- tremely important topic of conversa- tion and interest. The great numbers of peace organizations show us the activity of peace workers; the value of their varied suggestions as to how to maintain peace so as to keep the United States out of war has yet to be shown. However, there can be no doubt that since peace and world poli- tics have become such popular sub- jects of discussion, an organization that attempts to disseminate the re- sults of impartial research to the pub- lic is an extremely valuable one. The Foreign Policy Association, through its publication of weekly sur- veys of important international U-|"madV a very extensive study of them and later that year went to Bohemia with a letter of introduction to Pro- fessor Masaryk. Masaryk was at that time profes- sor of sociology at the University of Prague. He recognized at once that this professor of sociology from America knew about his people, per- haps, more than any other, certainly more than any other American, and from that time on they were collabo- rators. Mr. Miller entered into this cooperation with the Czechs as a sociologist, nor did he. ever deviate from this approach. On October 26, 1918, 12 nationali- ties, they were not nations, because they had no countries of their own, met, fittingly, in Independence Hall in Philadelphia, to draft their Declara- tion of Independence, and their terms of alliance. And this was the crea- tion of The Little Entente. The previous week Mr. Miller worked with Professor Masaryk on the form of the Czechoslovakian Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the Republic of Czechoslovakia. When the task was finished, they called Paris, the official headquarters then of "the Czeschoslovak national party, allowed 24 hours to elapse, to make .

Student membership entitles Continued on Page Two Committee Selects Subjects ------Preferred by�Students In Spring Questionnaire (Especially contributed l>fy Alison Raymond, '38.) The Chapel Committee wishes to take this opportunity to thank all those who answered the chapel ques- tionnaire so willingly last spring. They were of great assistance in ex- pressing public opinion, and we will do our utmost to make changes in the chapels for the coming year which will best accord with the popular de- sires. , The correlated answers to the leaf- lets revealed much that was of inter- est �ne huhdred and eight people voted for a practical approach to chapel topics, many of them citing Mr. Glenn's. The-intellectual approach followed, with a vote of 60, whereas the emotional (not sentimental) scarcely scored at all. Students were more interested in hearing social problems discussed than any others. Personal problems followed closely with 101 votes. When asked what aspects of the church interested them most, a very high proportion of the students answered, "Comparisons with the re- ligions of other lands, and compara- tive denominations in our own land." There were repeated requests in this connection to have the services conducted in the manner of the va- rious denominations. This does not seem possible to arrange, but the com- mittee has made a great effort to vary the affiliations of the -speakers as much as possible. In answer to the question, "If you went to chapel in former years and do not now, what is the reason?", 37 answered "Too much work." Some people did not like the speakers. We are sorry, but are providing many new ones this year, largely as answer to specific requests which have been made. Many suggested that there was not enough enthusiasm or interest in chapel to arouse them to interest. We should be grateful to those who are enthusiastic, if they would help us by talking! about the services anx-_ their frienaV_) � ' , It may relieve some minds to hear that we are not going to institute compulsory chapel! We wei*e aston- ished, in fact, by the fact that^^f people thought it very desirable. A freshman agreed that compulsory Continued on Pm�� Three BRr-^KFAST HOUR CHANGED A change in breakfast hours in the college has been announced because of the new Pennsylvania wage law for women. Although the maids of Bryn Mawr do not exceed the 44-hour-a- week maximum, a difficulty is pre- sented by the clause in the law which states that the eight hours they work a day must come within a period of 12 hours. If breakfast opens at 7.30, the maids must be in the halls by 7.15, tend they often have to stay un- til nearly 8.00 in the evening to finish washing dishes. The college is anx- ious to comply with the spirit as well as the letter of the law, and so has taken on an extra helper for the cook in each hall. However, its budget does not permit the hiring of a whole set of waitresses for dinner; there- fore, to fit the mafuY day into the' 12- hour program, either breakfast must ho 'otgj.ar-'diBBflr earlier. The former arcerhativefflr^ymost students better, so the following is planned: .-Owe table in each hall will be open at 7.40, which an extra waitress will be hired to serve. For others, breakfast will be open from Sfoo to 8.20. Dinner, for the present will be served at the same hour as in the past. The Bryn Mawr League is holding its annual drive for funds for the benefit of the Bryn Mawr Summer Camp on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. The money collected in this way, plus the amount obtained from the sale of sandwiches and the square dances or other func- tions of the league is all that the camp committee has to carry on its work. Last year it enabled three groups of about 20 slum children to enjoy a two weeks' vacation. The following letter was written to Miss Kraus, of the Department of So- cial Economy, expressing the apprecia- tion of the Executive Committee of the Main Line Federation of Churches for the benefits received by the chil- dren of this region. September 25, 1937. My dear Dr. Kraus: � At the Autumn' meeting of the Executive Committee of the Main Line Federation of Churches an unanimous vote of appreciation and gratitude was expressed for the splendid work performed by the college students with the boys and girls who were privileged to attend the camp at Stone Harbor last summer. We have had most enthusiastic reports of the benefits received by the children both from the chil- dren themselves and from their parents, and our staff. The good times will long be remembered by these children. In many instances not only were the children bene- fited, but the mothers also by be- ing relieved of their care for two weeks. We thank you for including our agency in your summer camp. Very sincerely yours, Curtis L. Clay, Secretary of the Board.

Of Technique's EXPLAINS EXPERIMEN* IN PHYSIO-CHEMISTRY President Park, in answer to a re- I quest from the Editor of the.College News, has given the News the follow-* n order to do tfie same t^nglo?^* statement in regard to changes affecting the former Director of Pub- more children again next summer, the league needs the support of every stu- dent.

Payments may be bud- geted in any practical way. Since the Bryn Mawr League is the sole sup- port of the canuj, all students are urged to give as'touch as they possibly can. Industrial Group Meeting The Industrial Group will hold its first meeting Thursday night, October 28, in the Common Room. John Edelman, director of the C. I. O. for Eastern Penn- sylvania, will speak. "At present the relations between physical chemistry and biology and medicine are becoming more and more friendly," said Dr. The Svedberg, in his introduction to the discussion of his new theory of the physio-chemis- try of proteins. In the. Middle Ages, he explained, the scientist was philosopher, doctor, and sometimes theologian. Research in any one branch of science stimu- lates interest in all the others. Para- celsus, or Theophratus van Hohen- heim, who lived from 1493 to 1541 was the first to apply purely chemical principles to medical problems. He recognizedpas his contemporaries did not, that disease could be fought with chemicals, and had "marvclously mod- ern" views of disease-germs, heredity, and infection. In- fighting all the ancient laws of Aristotle, Galenus, and Avicenna, the scientific leaders of the Middle Ages, he brandished a sword "illuminated by flames of the Middle Ages and receiving the first rays from the dawn of the Renaissance." Von Helmhut (1578-1644) who was more cautious in the proclamation of his findings, discovered the physio-chem- ical law of conservation of matter 150 years before Lavoisier. Differentiation between the sciences occurred during the 17th, 18th, and especially during the first half of the l!)th centuries, with the development of new kinds of experimental tech- nique, in biology, chemistry, and physics, which were used sparingly, if at all, in medicine. The founding of physical chemistry as a separate sci- ence towards the end of the 19th cen- tury heralded the approach of an atti- tude of more universal curiosity and consciousness of the unity of all knowl- edge. Biologists like de Vries and Pfeffer were the first to be interested in cooperation of the sciences. The founders of classical physical chem- istry, van Hoff, Arrhenius, and Ost- wald, all were interested in biology and medicine. "At present," Dr. Svedberg said, "there is no doubt a general tendency of unification of science.. .The experi- mental means of today are becoming common property to all branches of natural science." Biologists of the future should be physio-chemists "� Continued on Pace Three PUBLICITY DEPARTMENT CHANGES ANNOUNCED lication: The title of Director of Publication has been given up. M-s.

Cystinuria is a rare condition in which stones made from an amino acid called cystine form in the kidney, ureter, and bladder. The condition is passed down through families.
See also: Nephrolithiasis
Stones - cystine; Cystine stones
To have the symptoms of cystinuria, you must inherit the faulty gene from both parents. Your children will also inherit a copy of the faulty gene from you.
Cystinuria is caused by too much of an amino acid called cystine in the urine. After entering the kidneys, most cystine normally dissolves and goes back into the bloodstream. But people with cystinuria have a genetic defect that interferes with this process. As a result, cystine builds up in the urine and forms crystals or stones, which may get stuck in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder.
About one in every 10,000 people have cystinuria. Cystine stones are most common in young adults under age 40. Less than 3% of urinary tract stones are cystine stones.
The disorder is usually diagnosed after an episode of kidney stones. Testing the stones shows that they are made of cystine.
Tests that may be done to detect stones and diagnose this condition include:
The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms and prevent more stones. A person with severe symptoms may need to be admitted to a hospital.
Treatment involves drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, to produce large amounts of urine. You should drink at least 6 - 8 glasses per day.
In some cases, fluids may need to be given through a vein (by IV).
Medications may be prescribed to help dissolve the cystine crystals. Eating less salt can also decrease cystine release and stone formation.
You may need pain relievers to control pain in the kidney or bladder area when you pass stones. Smaller stones usually pass through the urine on their own. Larger stones may need extra treatments. Some large stones may need to be removed with surgery:
Cystinuria is a chronic , lifelong condition. Stones commonly return. However, the condition rarely results in kidney failure, and it does not affect other organs.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of urinary tract stones.
There are medications that can be taken so cystine does not form a stone. Ask your health care provider about these medications and their side effects. Any person with a known history of stones in the urinary tract should drink plenty of fluids to regularly produce a high amount of urine. This allows stones and crystals to leave the body before they become large enough to cause symptoms.

During his residency he spent three years in the laboratory of his mentor Dr. Adrian Barbul funded by a National Institutes of Health Gastrointestinal Surgery Training Grant. He examined the role that nitric oxide production plays in intestinal anastomotic healing in addition to examining various other aspects of cutaneous healing and the importance of the route of nutrition to healing wounds. He has presented his results at number of national meetings including the Association for Academic Surgery, the Society of University Surgeons and the Society for the Surgery of the Alimentary Tract. Dr. Efron's current research interests have expanded to the realm of regulation of inflammatory mediators of septic and post-injury states. He is particularly focused in his laboratory on the role that statins may play in this milieu especially with regard to potential translational research from the bench to the bedside. He received both a Johns Hopkins Department of Surgery Research Pilot Project Grant and the 2005-2006 Junior Faculty Fellowship from the Surgical Infection Society Foundation for Research and Education in support of this work.
Dr. Efron carries additional interest in traumatic injury from interpersonal violence, measures of violence intensity, and trauma recidivism with an eye to prevention strategies. This work has resulted in recent presentations at national venues such as the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma and the Pacific Coast Surgical Association with subsequent publication.
In addition to bedside teaching and rounds, Dr. Efron regularly lectures to medical students, nursing and nurse-practitoner students as well as surgical, emergency medicine and physician assistant residents. These lectures span such topics as appendicitis, shock, acute cardiac dysrhythmias, molecular and cellular mediators of inflammation, renal failure, endocrine function in critical illness, multiple organ failure, the management of abdominal and thoracic injuries, topics in surgical nutrition, and central line safety.
Dr. Efron serves on a number of committees at all levels of participation. He is a member of the Performance Improvement Committee for the Adult Trauma Service, and a member of the Department of Surgery Committee for Faculty Retention. He is the Department of Surgery representative to the Medical School Council and is the Chair of the Vascular Access Device Oversight Committee for the hospital. He has served as an assistant chair of the Central Line Task Force appointed by the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Toxins are substances created by plants and animals that are poisonous to humans. Toxins also include medications that are helpful in small doses, but poisonous when used in large amounts.
Most toxins that cause problems in humans are released by germs such as bacteria. For example, cholera is due to a bacterial toxin.
Other toxins that cause problems include metals, such as lead, and organic chemicals in the environment.

Adult LIABILITY WAIVER
Touchstone Climbing is dedicated to creating a safe environment for all participants at our facilities. Climbing is inherently dangerous. Safe practice requires the active involvement of both the climber and the belayer, which dictates the need for personal responsibility. It is therefore our requirement that all participants sign a liability release. Our rules and belay tests have been developed to help us evaluate and minimize the potential for climber or belayer error, but they are weak substitutes for attentiveness and appreciation of the responsibilities we all have for our own safety.
Each participant must sign a liability waiver or have a current copy on file in order to be in the gym. If you are 18 years or older, save time by filling out an online waiver right now! Otherwise you will sign a digital copy at the gym.
We also have our liability waiver available in Spanish.
Tambien tenemos nuestra renuncia de la responsabilidad disponible en espanol.
Spanish |
Under 18 liability waiver
Participants under the age of 18 visiting the gym for the first time must be accompanied by a legal guardian to sign a waiver. To save time, a legal guardian can fill out our online waiver ahead of time.

Well I'm off ot L.A. for a convention with Ramsoomair. I'm not actually going to be displaying anything just going to be social and what not.
Oh and I just shrunk my second favorite sweeter in the wash/dryer. Which is awesome because I shrunk my favorite sweeter last year. So basically the only solution at this point is cutting off two to three inches from my arms. I don't want to do it, but facts is facts.

Old School - More Vintage Fun
48 comments:
LOVE the desk. I'm sure I had one just like it wayyyyyyyyyy back when. I found a lift top school desk at a yard sale years ago and my kids used it for awhile. I was going to take it apart and paint it recently and they informed me we had taken it to Goodwill. Huh. I don't remember okaying that move.
ReplyDeletewas the first picture from the spelling book?
I recently found a school desk (looks to be older than the one you found) at a garage sale for $5 bucks. I thought about refinishing it but it's used patina has grown on me. I love it as is.
I'll try and take a picture of it sometime this week. I'll let you know when it's upI really enjoy your blog. And I REALLY enjoy thrifting! What great things you found. I'm totally into vintage books too (for the illustrations!) My friend made the cutest bunting using the pics from vintage books. Here is a link...
http://sisterhipster.blogspot.com/2010/12/vintage-bunting.htmlHow lovely all those old books. Makes me want to turn back time and live a less stressful, hectic, busy life. At least that is what my old clients (in their 80's or 90's) tell me about life in the 40's and 50's. I can't have enough of their stories as they have lived through so much. And I adore the little school desk. Would probably be crazy funky to paint, but still so pretty and classic as it is.
BTW, you have probably received many MANY awards, but I have nominated you on my blog anyway. Just to tell you thank you for being here in blog land. Pop over and absorb the good feed back.
AnnetteWhat a GREAT post! I love the vintage books and pictures too.
I would love to wear heels and pearls and dresses every day! I think I would feel better about myself; sweat bottoms and tshirts are not too elegant. I always feel sloppy and fat. But I would be so C.O.L.D in a dress and shivering all day is not worth the price. (Not that I have pearls. or heels. or even a dress at this point.)I think we must go to the same thrift store. Once you posted about a couple of vintage sheets you found. I had picked up those same sheets the day before and decided not to buy them. Humm. I am glad you got them. I would love to see what you do with them. Then a couple of days ago I got a Basic Reader called "Our Town". Someone must have dropped off these readers. I love mine!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the vintage textbooks! I am a textbook editor--pre-K through grade 8--and adore old textbooks like these. I don't collect them because my house is stuffed full of current texts, but I do love to look at the older ones and see how they have evolved over the years. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

The Palette ProjectParadigm ShiftOn 2014 I've imposed myself a challenge: "I should draw a doodle a day, during the whole year".The reason why I took such a challenge was because I wasn't happy with how much I created on the year before, on 2013. Before starting the challenge I would procrastinate instead of drawing, I would wait for some magic sort of inspiration to come in order to draw anything at all. That was the paradigm, the standards of my work flow. After concluding the 365 Days of Doodles project I had a new paradigm: I can create one black&white drawing everyday.What I want to do now in 2015 is changing the paradigm again: I want to add color palettes to my doodles. Seven, to be more specific.

Helsinki has plenty of nightlife activities: concerts, plays or nightclubs where you can have a beer. Despite having to pay in most bars to get in, there are still a few where you can get in for free. In the Finnish summer, it almost doesn't get dark, which can turn a night out unforgettable, if you also include a dive in the ocean and a passage by the ice bar.
Official statistics show that, in 2010, there was a record number of visitors to the Finnish capital of over three million tourists. In work or leisure trips, many sleep in Helsinki to try out what the night has to offer.The capital's nightlife is focussed in the streets of Eerikinkatu and Uudenmaankatu, where experience goes past entering and exiting different bars and nightclubs, most of which with a paid entry (but it is still possible to find some, where entrance is free). In the centre of Helsinki, it will be easy to find a bar, but you shouldn't wait to find a beer for less than five euros. At the Teerenpeli bar, next to the Kampi shopping mall, programming includes stand-up comedy nights.If you want to have a truly gelid experience, do not miss the Arctic Ice Bar, an ice bar whose constant temperature is at around minus five degrees. If you don't wear enough clothes, do not get worries because you will get gloves and a warm coat when you get in.After a night at the bar, there is always the chance of swimming at the Hietaniemi beach (under the moonlight in the winter or sunlight if it's summer, since it practically does not get dark in Finland).

Soldiers want to use Android devices and Apple's iPad in the field, while on a mission, communicating, socializing, killing time, or blowing off steam.
Soldiers have historically been frustrated by the inability to employ popular, commercial technologies and devices in military environments. Military personnel have lamented "stepping back into the 1950s" when they set foot on a base or the battlefield.
They have longed for mission rehearsal, simulation, and training systems that deliver the same high-end graphics, fidelity, and responsiveness as Microsoft's Xbox or Sony's Playstation. They have endured the longtime use of VHS tape to capture and share video imagery. They've previously seen their iPods, MP3 players, and USB flash/thumb drives banned.
Now, however, they are getting iPads and Android tablets. Are these commercial devices—which, by all accounts, have not been tested to and do not adhere to military standards for ruggedization, security, and more—ready for prime time on the battlefield?
The US Department of Defense (DoD) seems to think so. The US Army in September issued a solicitation for roughly a half-million dollars worth of iPads, protective cases, and protection/insurance plans. The US military isn't alone. Military personnel in the UK are training on iPads at the Royal School of Artillery in Wiltshire. Even a military unit of the Russian Federal Security Service is rumored to have illegally ordered two iPads.
I'm a computer geek. I own Apple products. I've built many a computer system, a majority of them architected for military use. I'm not sure I would entrust military missions and lives to an iPad. Not right now, anyway, and not without serious ruggedization. Android devices, however… well, that's another story. Stay tuned!

Whats is so funny is that using your logic you have proven the existence of Casper the friendly Ghost. What is so sad is that for almost everything else you probably do use good logic. Otherwise you would have gotten run over because God told you to walk in front of a moving car. You choose to make an exception in the case of a supreme being.

5 SamBolland7 | 18/09/2011 | See all Bolland7's reviews (3)Top 100 Clothing Reviewer Absolutely brilliant wallet!I've read that a lot of people are moaning that It's too big for skinny jeans. Surely if you wear skinny jeans you should be using a purse instead?
5 Cracking Walletcomedygenius | 15/12/2010 | See all comedygenius's reviews (5)This wallet does what you expect it to unless you're a big girls blouse and like a little pocket for your change. Which frankly makes so called men look like little old ladies when they are trying to find the right change to pay for whatever. In conclusion this is a mans wallet, well if you're a man who is still secretly into comic book heroes anyway
3 Nice wallet but...mccrayon | 04/06/2010 | See all mccrayon's reviews (2)Really nice wallet - very smart and awesome graphics on the inside, but the wallet is huge! It's square in shape and far too big to fit in your pocket - especially if wearing skinny jeans.Also there's no coin compartment which isn't very handy.As much as the design is really nice, it wasn't functional enough for our liking.
5 Great walletSeiborg | 24/09/2010 | See all Seiborg's reviews (2)I am very satisfied with this wallet, and it is in no way too big.It's about 9.5cm by 11.5 cm when folded in your pocket. In my experience, it seems no bigger than any other wallet I've owned, and it fits in my pocket just fine. I can see that it might be a struggle to fit if I was wearing skin-tight leather...but I wouldn't be.More importantly, the inside design is fantastic.I think every inside design is a little bit different, which is why the website doesn't show the inside. But I know mine features comic book covers from Spiderman, X-Men, Hulk, and Iron Man, so should satisfy all Marvel fans. Even the insides of the card pockets have black and white Marvel characters across them.Overall, the wallet's quality is very nice, with impressive looking black leatherish exterior, and a nice metal silver 'MARVEL' badge.Admittedly, it lacks a space for coins, but so do most Men's adult wallets. And this is definitely a men's adult wallet...just with an extra geek feature on the inside.
4 Great Wallethansolo26 | 24/01/2011 | See all hansolo26's reviews (4)If you're a marvel fan then this is a great wallet for you. The metal logo/badge on the front is very well printed and the comic strip interior to die for. The print is even replicated on the inside of the individual pockets giving this a top quality feel.It's not real leather sadly so if you're keeping it in your jeans pocket, expect a sweaty leg.Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the outer is actually black not brown as pictured.

Today's consumers are connected and in control. They're less interested in how content is delivered and more interested in whether it entertains, educates and answers their questions. They're eager to share what they love and just as eager to make known what they don't.

That's why we've developed a new approach to marketing communications. It's an approach that goes beyond earned, owned and paid media to focus on what matters most—connecting people to content that inspires and informs.

You wear compression stockings to improve blood flow in your legs. Compression stockings gently squeeze your legs to move blood up your legs. This helps prevent leg swelling and, to a lesser extent, blood clots.
If you have varicose veins, spider veins, or have just had surgery, your doctor may prescribe compression stockings.
Wearing stockings helps with:
Compression hose; Pressure stockings; Support stockings; Gradient stockings
Talk to your doctor about what kind of compression stockings are right for you. There are many different compression stockings. They come in different:
Call your health insurance or prescription plan.
Wear your compression stockings all day. Your compression stockings should feel strong around your legs. You will feel the most pressure around your ankles and less pressure higher up on your legs.
If your stockings feel too uncomfortable, call your doctor or nurse. Find out if there is a different kind of stocking that will work for you. Do not stop wearing them without talking to your doctor.

Blizzard responds to Guardian Cub controversy
It's potentially worth noting that no new gold is being introduced into the game's economy with those mounts or the new Guardian Cub pet.
Our goal with the Guardian Cub is to provide alternative ways for players who don't want to spend real money to add these pets to their collection. Even though this has been available a while now with the TCG mounts, this is obviously a new kind of way to deliver Pet Store pets, and we're definitely interested to hear your feedback and ultimately see how this will play out.
To be fair, since this is exactly what I said about the Cub on the WoW Insider Show this week, I'm already on record as agreeing with him fully. The only difference between the Guardian Cub and loot cards is that you don't have to spend money hoping you'll get the Cub. You spend ten bucks and you know you have one.
Well, also, the thing is adorable. That's not really germane to the discussion, though. What do you think about our friendly Cub? Cute pet, money for gold, soul-meltingly cute step off of the slippery slope? Tell us.

Check out today's NYTimes Science section for this article on Interface carpet. CEO coins the phrase "Restorative Enterprise" which I really like.
People have been asking what Social Design is...one example I keep giving is Belu Water, which is featured here. An entity devised to be an engine of social and environmental change is social design - design for the greater good.
Anderson had a revelation 10 years ago...he realized that in the future, his company's mere compliance with eco-law would be criminal...in hindsight. He realized they had to do something and they did. 10 years later sustainability has slashed their waste and upped their recycling, among other things. Anderson says that the company has saved $336 million over the last 10 years from these efforts.
Cool Carpet
While no one has developed nylon yarns that can be recycled into new carpet, they have devised a way to repurpose worn tiles into making backings for new carpet, in a product line called "cool carpet", diverting 16.8 million pounds from landfills annually.

CHANDLER, Ariz. -- Three people are in custody and Chandler police are looking for a fourth suspect allegedly involved in a string of thefts from Walmart stores valleywide.
According to police spokesman Detective Seth Tyler, the four suspects and two unidentified females stole large amounts of electronics from Walmart stores beginning last July.
Bobby Joe White, 19, was taken into custody on April 14 and charged with 80 counts of organized retail theft, 40 counts of theft and 40 counts of criminal damage. He remains in custody at the Maricopa County Jail.

KPFA presents:
"Stripping Bare the Body" Politics, Violence, War
Hosted by Brian Edwards-Tiekert
Friday, April 1, 7:30 pm
First Congregational Church
2345 Channing Way, Berkeley
$12 advance tickets: brownpapertickets.com :: 800-838-3006

"There's probably no one alive who understands political conflict and upheaval better than Mark Danner, and there is certainly no one who writes more eloquently about it. Stripping Bare the Body is an unmitigated
masterpiece of reporting and analysis."
— Dave Eggers
"With this vivid and deeply disturbing book, Mark Danner affirms his standing as our preeminent guide to the world's broken places, littered with the detritus of American carelessness and delusions."
— Andrew Bacevich
"The publication of Mark Danner's Stripping Bare the Body is a big deal – an event. Why? Because Danner's writing over the past three decades, taken together, forms a definitive, and absolutely riveting, chronicle of the dark side of the post-cold- war world, from Haiti to Abu Graib and beyond. No other writer we have combines brilliant and courageous reporting with brilliant and courageous political and moral thinking as Danner does. He is also, first and last, a breathtakingly good writer. For anyone who cares about the fate of our foreign policy and our republic, and indeed, the human condition, Stripping Bare the Body is a touchstone book."
— Michael Pollan
"This is reporting at its best… "Stripping Bare the Body" ought to be read by those who still see our wars as moral crusades. They may learn from its pages who so manuy ungrateful beneficiaries of our largesse are willing to blow themselves up in order to do us harm, and why wars based on delusions only lead to more delusions and more wars…Fascinating!"
—New York Review of Books
Stripped bare and vividly told, here is America's true "life beneath the skin – the shocking, brutal underside of what Danner calls "a grim age, still infused with the remnant perfume of imperial dreams."

Finding Comfort In Grace
Learning you were in a religious cult is not easy. The journey out can be an emotional roller coaster. But you don't have to face it alone.You can find comfort in knowing that others, just like you, have made the decision to follow Christ.The purpose of Seek The Truth is to remove the fear from your journey. There should be no fear in examining prophecy. The Bible instructs us to test the prophets, and the information is now available.
The God we serve is real. The open arms of the Savior are reaching out to give you comfort, and those same arms hung on the cross as He suffered and died in your place. The Father loves His children enough that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for you. Christ loves you enough to offer his own life so that you can find yours.

Graphics are top notch as is the voice acting. As it has done in previous games humour is here in abundance. The game has lots of replay value with extra modes becoming available. So overall it's another quality first party title from Sony that deserves to be in your collection.

The capillary nail refill test is a quick test done on the nail beds. It is used to monitor dehydration and the amount of blood flow to tissue.
Nail blanch test; Capillary refill time
Pressure is applied to the nail bed until it turns white. This indicates that the blood has been forced from the tissue. It is called blanching. Once the tissue has blanched, pressure is removed.
While the patient holds their hand above their heart, the health care provider measures the time it takes for blood to return to the tissue. Return of blood is indicated by the nail turning back to a pink color.
Remove colored nail polish before this test.
There will be minor pressure to the bed of your nail. This should not cause discomfort.
Tissues need oxygen to survive. Oxygen is carried to various parts of the body by the blood (vascular) system.
This test measures how well the vascular system works in your hands and feet -- the parts of your body that are farthest from the heart.
If there is good blood flow to the nail bed, a pink color should return in less than 2 seconds after pressure is removed.
Blanch times that are greater than 2 seconds may indicate:

Rural Education Achievement Program
The Rural Education Achievement Program provides funds to support students and teachers in rural locations to improve achievement levels to meet the State standards in education. School administrative units (SAUs) may be eligible for one of two federal grants: the Small Rural Schools (SRS) Achievement Grant or the Rural Low-Income (RLI) Grant. These formula grants are part of No Child Left Behind (NCLB), Title VI Flexibility and Accountability.
The U.S. Department of Education provides the SRS grant to small, local, rural SAUs (fewer than 600 students in the SAU in daily attendance). SAUs that meet the guideline criteria may use their funding in a variety of ways to support or supplement programs for teachers and students.
The RLI grant is a formula grant Maine distributes to eligible rural SAUs that do not qualify for the SRS grant but meet the Title IA poverty criteria and are classified as rural communities. These grants are more restrictive than the SRS grants but have enough flexibility to meet the program goals of most eligible SAUs.
Three factors determine an SAU's eligibility for the grants:
- Locale code issued to each SAU by the Census Bureau
- Average daily attendance from the beginning of the previous school year until Dec. 1 of that year
- Poverty level as determined by the NCLB Title IA program of the State
