Building a Site Directory with SharePoint Search
A common challenge for many SharePoint users is finding sites with content that is relevant to them. It is pretty common to find environments with hundreds if not thousands of sites. In past versions of the product, there was a Site Directory feature that was available, but it was essentially just a SharePoint list which required manual entry and significant maintenance, which ultimately made it a pretty unreliable and ineffective solution.
In this article by Mike Oryszak, author of Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Business Application Blueprints, will provide some alternative solutions for addressing these challenges, starting with an overview of some key concepts on how to leverage SharePoint Search to provide an optimized experience, making it easier for users to search and discover relevant sites. In addition to the conceptual overview, the following configurations and custom solutions will be covered:
- Sites Search Scope
- Site Directory page
- Relevant sites Web Part

Microsoft XNA 4.0 Game Development: Receiving Player Input
One of the key aspects that separates a computer game from that of, for example, a movie, is its interactive nature and its ability to be influenced by the player to achieve a different outcome each and every time.
In this article by Luke Drumm,author of Microsoft XNA 4.0 Game Development Cookbook, we will examine some different ways of capturing the player's intent that may not be immediately obvious or trivial to implement when we first set ourselves the challenge.Read Microsoft XNA 4.0 Game Development: Receiving Player Input in full
Creating and managing user accounts in Microsoft Windows SBS 2011
The majority of time administrating a network is spent managing users. Users not only need access to a Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2011 network but they all need access to its resources. The key to good network administration is doing this in the most effective manner. Probably the most important part of a network will be the users. They need access to the resources on the server as well as the services that it provides. To do this securely they are firstly going to need a network login ID that identifies them to the domain. They will typically use this login ID at a workstation connected to the domain.
In this article by Robert Crane and Drew Hills, co-authors of (MCTS): Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard, Configuring (70-169) Certification Guide, we shall look at creating and managing user accounts.Read Creating and managing user accounts in Microsoft Windows SBS 2011 in full

Customizing Look and Feel of UAG
UAG customizations can be very intense and deeply technical, but what everyone wants is for everything to look its best, right? The fact is, a large portion of UAG customers perform at least some adjustments to the appearance, even if it is just changing the title of the portal page. Look and feel customizations are considered to be rather well documented, as opposed to some of the more advanced stuff you will see later on in the book, but the purpose of this chapter is not to repeat that official documentation. We will be guiding you through the actual process, of course, but also suggesting some creative thoughts to get the message across in ways that you may have never thought of.
In this article by Erez Ben-Ari and Rainier Amara , the authors of Mastering Microsoft Forefront UAG 2010 Customization,the following topics will be covered:
- Visual customization overview
- Customizing the login and admin pages
- Customizing the portal
- Portal application icons
- Changing texts
- Adding a user-interface language
- Portal selection for clients
Monitoring and Responding to Windows Intune Alerts
In this article by David Overton, author of Microsoft Windows Intune 2.0: Quickstart Administration, we will examine the real-time nature of PC management as we explore the alerts that Windows Intune raises which require action on our part, exploring how we both monitor and respond to them.
We can have configure computers to minimize situations where alerts will be raised through good practices of updates, firewall, and anti-malware management. However, problems will still arise with users' computers, whether this is a request for assistance, a computer that will not boot, or some other warning picked up by Windows Intune. These need to be categorized and responded to in a timely manner. Some can be closed and filed depending on circumstances, while others require a visit to the computer itself with other tools to further diagnose and resolve.
In this article, we will discuss this in the following sections:
- General Windows Intune alerts
- Malware alerts
- Remote Assistance alerts

Comments about Ohio State Buckeyes NCAA 2 Tone Graphite and Team Color 59FIFTY Cap:
I like the colors and logo design. But my head is huge and needed a big hat. The hat fits great on the circumference of my head. However, the front with the logo us too big and gives the hat an awkward, square look. I've tried bending and folding this area but it's still keeping the square look. I think if the logo area on the hat had been smaller, this would not have been a problem.

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded a grant to University of Rochester for its Using a Novel Technology to Improve Adherence: School-Based Asthma Treatment project. The principal investigator of this project is Dr. Jill S. Halterman. This $453871 award is funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act.)
The Recovery Act provides an unprecedented level of funding for biomedical research institutions across the country. A total of $10.4 billion in Recovery Act funds is going to the NIH to help stimulate the U.S. economy through the support and advancement of scientific research. The NHLBI is investing its $763 million allocation of economic stimulus funds into rigorously peer-reviewed research on the prevention and treatment of heart, lung, and blood diseases.
Heart, lung, and blood diseases account for three of the four leading causes of death in the United States. Discovering new ways to prevent, detect, and treat these diseases – while maintaining the United States' global leadership in biomedical research – requires investments in innovative projects and in scientists.
"This award to University of Rochester will present an extraordinary chance to advance biomedical research while creating jobs in local communities and opportunities for talented young and new investigators," said NHLBI Director Elizabeth G. Nabel, M.D. "We look forward to the outcome of this research, which will contribute to a better understanding of how we can improve the health of the American public."
This award is one of the NIH's Challenge Grants. Challenge Grants support research on topic areas identified by the NIH that address selected scientific and health research priorities. The NIH designated over $200 million in FY 2009 for approximately 200 of these grants. The NIH received more than 20,000 applications for Challenge grants, making funding for this opportunity extremely competitive.
This new program will support research on Challenge Topics, which address specific scientific and health research challenges in biomedical and behavioral research that will benefit from significant two-year jumpstart funds. Challenge Areas, defined by the NIH, focus on specific knowledge gaps, scientific opportunities, new technologies, data generation, or research methods that would benefit from an influx of funds to quickly advance the area in significant ways. The research in these areas should have a high impact in biomedical or behavioral science and/or public health.
More than 40 percent of the NHLBI's Recovery Act funding is dedicated to NIH-wide Recovery Act initiatives, which includes the Challenge grant program. More information about this project can be found at the NHLBI's Recovery Act Web site.

Fly, drive whatever.....
I'm over all the about the skary, skary highway.
Fly, drive whatever.....
I'm over all the about the skary, skary highway.
Meh, my house is about 2 hours away from the 2 airports I most frequently use as well. (by train, bus, public transport) Never mind if I fly from Brussels or Dusseldorf/Weeze, that's even worse.
to take a bus for 2 hours sounds fine by me.... I plan to visit. Anyway I often fly with Ryanair within Europe ... I am used to landing in the middle of nowhere
Skaters will probably find themselves an easy way, or the organisation will, I am sure
"it doesn't matter if you love what you do, but that you do what you love"
a quote Tomas Verner () gave me to think about...
I have been badly spoiled by Winnipeg's easy going, easy to get around sort of city.............
I've driven much of the 401. We took it home from Lake Placid one year (in early April, not much later than the 2013 Worlds will be). I've also driven it several times between Windsor and the Niagara region. I'll admit it is no fun around Toronto, but then again driving around a lot of major cities is no fun.
As for winter conditions, one can never tell what we will have. My DD was born in March (her birthday typically falls during Worlds) and some years we have been in short sleeves and other years there has been snow but I don't remember anything really horrific weather-wise during her birthday for the last 18 years.
The 402 has never been a terrible drive for me either, other than that I find it rather boring because there isn't much to see along that highway, and you do have to mind the speed limits as there are often speed traps along it.
I really don't see London as a bad choice. I enjoyed Nationals there this year and have found many of the comments here puzzling. I certainly never felt unsafe as one poster stated and thought the downtown area was fine. I actually would have like to have seen more of it but was kept fairly busy watching skating lol! My only complaint would really be parking. It was sometimes difficult to find so you really do need to leave yourself lots of time, and be prepared for a walk in the event you must park at a distance. Other than that, I quite enjoyed it.
Taxis are another option if you really don't want to walk or can't find parking nearby. Not expensive, especially if several are sharing the ride.
William Thompsons post was interesting to read. Hes given a plausible explanation for how and why SC made its decision.
From my reading of his post, two factors seem to have tipped the balance in Londons direction: the expectation of a sellout and the government support that came with the London bid. I take that to mean taxpayer dollars at some level(s) are being used to underwrite /subsidize the costs that SC will incur in hosting the event. That $$S seems to have trumped any downsides to Londons bid.
But Williams post has sidestepped the practical issues that people are concerned about.
London only has about 3,300 hotel rooms. Thats a simple fact - right from the website of Tourism London.
[As a comparison, Calgary (venue of last Worlds held in Canada) has over 11,000 hotel rooms
How much of Londons limited hotel capacity will be needed for athletes/coaches/federations/ISU/SkateCanada/judges/media, etc at a pre-Olympic Worlds?
If they can be housed in 600 or so rooms, it may be OK. But what if they need, say, 1,500 rooms or more? Keep in mind that London has businesses and a major university that also draw hotel traffic. That will not stop just because a figure skating competition is coming to town. You dont need a medical convention(major or otherwise). If normal business traffic keeps hotels only about 30% full (which seems low), thats 1,100 rooms taken right there. And that traffic has to exist at some reasonable level, otherwise these properties couldnt stay in business theyre not empty all the time.
That doesnt leave much hotel space for people coming from out of town to see Worlds. Whether you are travelling from Toronto or Tokyo, youre going to need a place to stay.
Since a sellout of the event seems to be so important to SC, they should be concerned about this. A certain proportion of ticket sales is going to come from out-of-towners. Yes, they got a lot of local support for Nationals. But keep in mind that ticket prices for Nationals and Skate Canada Intl are pretty modestly priced around $200 for the whole event (and tickets for individual events priced proportionately). Not hard to see that casual fans might spend that kind of money to check out a local event, make it a family outing, etc.
But tickets for Worlds are priced at about 3 or 4 times that level (or even more). To shell out that much $$$, you need a certain degree of commitment, like that shown by people who travel to see events or make it their vacation. Those fans are a core group of SC and the ISUs customer base, and their needs should be taken into account. In any other business, repeat customers are highly valued and treated accordingly.
Unfortunately, I have the impression that the PTB in skating often tend to take fans for granted, and operate on the assumption that fans will put up with just about anything to watch the sport, so that little effort needs to be made to cater to them. (This observation does not apply to the skaters, most of whom are wonderful to their fans).
Has SC assessed the availability of hotel space in London for out-of-town ticket buyers? Or is the only concern that there be enough hotel space for the athletes, judges, officials? Is SC going to offer buyers of all-event ticket packages the chance to book hotel space at a convention rate? Or does SC expect fans to support the event while fending for themselves, like maybe having to pay five star hotel rates for a two star property, because of market demand?
Lots of comments in this thread about how London is accessible, not that hard to get to, yada yada. Yup, its a two hour drive from Toronto. But if you cant get a hotel room, youre looking at a 4 hour daily commute. Which isnt very convenient.
How the JLC will possibly have the working space to accommodate the needs of worldwide media is another problem entirely.
I don't know what nearby towns and cities you are referring to. The city of London is very spread out. Toronto and Hamilton are about 2 hours away. Stratford is one hour away. I can understand athletes wanting to be away from the busy pace of the host hotel, but I would think that you'd want to stay *within the city limits* of the place you are competing and not undertake hours of commuting to/from.
Neither spectators or competitors should have to spend 3 hours (1.5 hours each way)commuting from their hotel to a competition venue. Nor should any other inter-city commute (of whatever duration) be required. If that is necessary, the host city has inadequate capacity, by definition.
If you're an athlete, arriving late is not an option. So you have allow for extra time in case of traffic congestion (unheard of in southern Ontario, right?), and leave early, thus cutting into rest (or other preparation) time.
Plus, there is always the risk in March of a snowstorm or freezing rain that could complicate driving conditions. You can't predict the weather that far in advance.
If you are the coach of an elite athlete who has to perform in a sport that demands focus and concentration, why on earth would you run even slightest risk of having your athletes distracted by the additional stress of an inter—city commute *on the day of competition*? And not just any competition, but Worlds where placement will affect Olympic spots.
This shouldn't be a scenario that anyone should have to even consider, much less endure. If it comes down to that, this event will have serious problems.
I'm glad that Worlds has been awarded to Canada. But the host federation has a responsibility to make sure that the event is hosted in a location that can properly accommodate the attendees. SC may indeed have done its due diligence. I'm open to being convinced. But based on what I saw at Nationals in January and having read William Thompson's post, right now I don't have any confidence that SC made the right decision.
Edited to add: I have no vested interest in Winnipeg at all - never been there. It makes no difference to me what city in Canada gets to host Worlds, so long as the host city has suitable capacity. IMO, London doesn't.

i think before any bid was forwarded to the ISU, i'm certain everything was done accordingly and was deemed sufficient or else they won't put it forward. there will always be pros and cons and there will always be people who will be accepting the results and there will be those who will not accept it at all in anyway.
just my 2 cents.
Being only an hour away from London I'm saying
I'm planning on attending my first Worlds and getting excited about it already.
Crazy about sports!
snobbin makes some good points. Expecting athletes and even attendees to commute daily for over an hour each day is not reasonable.
I've attended Worlds in Dortmund, Edmonton and Vancouver and in all three cases, accommodation was no problem and travel to and from the venue no problem - Vancouver we walked, Dortmund has an excellent subway which took about 10 minutes each way from the venue and our hotel - very easy. The train station also had access to trains outside of Dortmund if you were on vacation and wanted to see another area while in Germany. For example, we took the train to Berlin out of the same station we took the train to the venue - the station was across the street from the hotel - very convenient indeed. The station also had trains directly to the Frankfurt airport terminal.
While it is true there is a train from Toronto to London, it leaves out of downtown Toronto, not the airport. Downtown is about a 50 dollar cab ride from the TO airport. Also, unlike in Germany, the options for trains are much less frequent.
Edmonton also has a great public transport option for visitors as does Calgary.
In any event, this location, IMHO, would not be as convenient and does not lend itself as a great vacation spot for folks outside of the general area - albeit there are a lot of folks in the general area which will help sell it out I'm sure!
Maybe some locals will open temporary B and B's?
and the only option from Toronto airport to the city is a cab? Busses are not running? O.oWhile it is true there is a train from Toronto to London, it leaves out of downtown Toronto, not the airport. Downtown is about a 50 dollar cab ride from the TO airport. Also, unlike in Germany, the options for trains are much less frequent.

Analysts roll out coverage on GoPro with differing views
Shares of GoPro (GPRO) are climbing after a number of analysts initiated coverage of the stock with different outlooks. GoPro develops mountable and wearable cameras. BULLISH TAKE: JPMorgan analyst Paul Coster initiated coverage of GoPro with an Overweight rating. GoPro is gaining share in the digital camcorder market, and it has begun to penetrate "active lifestyle" markets, which are a much larger opportunity for the company, Coster believes. The company could ship 10M of its products for use by active lifestyle participants annually, the analyst estimated. In a best case scenario, the company could also sell low-cost devices for the mass market, according to Coster. However, GoPro will face competition from major companies, including Google (GOOG) and possibly Apple (AAPL) in this market, warned Coster, who set a $51 price target on GoPro. Also initiating coverage of the name with an Overweight rating was Piper Jaffray analyst Sean Naughton. GoPro is in the early stages of growth, as the company's user base is poised to expand beyond extreme sports enthusiasts, the analyst forecast. The company has a competitive advantage over other brands, which should enable it to maintain strong profitability, added Naughton, who set a $48 price target on the shares. BEARISH TAKE: Stifel analyst Jim Duffy started coverage of GoPro with a Hold rating. The company's three year growth outlook is compelling, but the stock is fully valued, the analyst believes. The company faces a number of risks, including competition in the image device market and the possibility that its relationship with key channel partners, including Best Buy (BBY), could be disrupted, the analyst wrote. Sales to Best Buy accounted for 17% of GoPro's revenue in fiscal 2013, Duffy reported. After GoPro surged following its initial public offering, the stock is likely to advance by only limited amounts, wrote Barcalys analyst Joseph Wolf, who initiated coverage of the shares with an Equal Weight rating. The stock could fall to $30 if the company is unable to increase its hardware sales or make progress in its efforts to develop a media business, the analyst warned. He set a $45 price target on the shares. PRICE ACTION: A total of seven analysts rolled out coverage today on GoPro, according to The Fly's research, with only two recommending the stock with buy-equivalent ratings. Shares of the camera marker are up 3%, or $1.10, to $42.53 in morning trading.

Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly described the planned Kaiser picket. Patch regrets the error.
Registered nurses will picket 21 Kaiser Permanente hospitals in California — including the medical centers in Hayward and Oakland — on Wednesday, Dec. 19 to protest what they say is "persistently inadequate nurse staffing" in emergency care and other hospital areas, as well as patients being turned away from needed care, the California Nurses Association (CNA) and National Nurses United (NNU)
announced Friday.
Picketing at all 21 hospitals will take place from 2 to 6 p.m.
In a letter to incoming Kaiser CEO Bernard Tyson, dated Nov. 30, CNA Co-President Zenei Cortez, RN, said that the RNs are alarmed that Kaiser is "consistently and systematically failing to provide sufficient staff to take care of their patients."
This concern, she wrote, "has been raised with executives locally and regionally in many formats."
CNA, which represents 17,000 Kaiser RNs, says short-staffing has become a chronic problem in Kaiser emergency rooms, labor and delivery, general medical units, and other hospital areas.
In addition, the RNs charge, Kaiser is too often sending patients home from the hospital prematurely and expecting family members to care for patients who should still be in the hospital.
"Kaiser has refused to provide the nursing staff needed to safely take care of patients in our hospitals," said Katy Roemer, RN, Kaiser Oakland. "We are seeing patients who used to be admitted into the hospital for care now being forced to stay in the Emergency Department for hours and hours."
The RNs say they are calling on Kaiser to:
- Immediately address short-staffing, including "staffing hospitals and clinics by patient need, not on arbitrary regional budget goals."
- Admit all patients who need care. "No patient should have to wait, as many do now, in 23-hour 'observation' units before being appropriately admitted for in-patient care," they say.
- Staff hospitals with permanently scheduled RNs "who are committed to their local communities, rather than the current over-reliance on temporary and travel RNs."
"Kaiser nurses in our hospital have verbalized, documented and reported over 500 episodes of unsafe staffing violations in the hospital in 2012," said Leesa Evans, RN Kaiser Walnut Creek. "When RNs advocate for the time patients need for medical care, the response is often, 'we don't have anybody else.' Unreliable staffing leads to poor-quality patient care that this profitable giant could easily remediate, but will not, as it remains more profitable to under-staff."
In response, Gay Westfall, senior vice-president of Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and Health Plan Northern California, said in a prepared statement, "The union leadership's claims about Kaiser Permanente have little to do with facts, and are a tremendous disservice to the outstanding work being done each and every day by our nurses, physicians and staff on behalf of our members and patients."

Taylor Swift
The music world is filled with young stars who burned hot and bright only to fade out after an album or two, but that's certainly not the case with Taylor Swift. The Pennsylvania-born Swift burst onto the scene in '06 with her debut album featuring the hit single "Tim McGraw" and her name quickly shot up the charts. That self-titled debut album has sold more than five million copies, and she proved that was no fluke as her next album, "Fearless," sold well over 10 million copies. And of course with those record-breaking record sales have come incredible Taylor Swift ticket sales with sold out concerts around the globe. The Taylor Swift Fearless Tour was one of the most successful of the decade, and GoTickets.com helped countless fans enjoy it with great seats to every show.
Taylor Swift mania is back in full force with the recent release of her fourth studio album, "Red." Swift's fans showed again that they are among the best in music, moving her new album to the top of the charts at record pace. As Taylor heads back out on the road for yet another tour, GoTickets will have tickets for all of her shows.
Unlike some other young stars who have very little to do with the writing and creation of the songs they sing, Swift writes most of her own music. In fact she penned "Tim McGraw" when she was just 16 years old. She got one of her biggest breaks when she opened for Tim McGraw and Faith Hill on their Soul2Soul tour, and she's also joined forces with legendary country stars like George Strait and Brad Paisley. She's also one of the most awarded stars in country or pop music with a trophy case full of American Music Awards, CMT Music Awards, and Grammy Awards . She is well known for putting on a great live show and giving her all for her loyal fans, so make sure you catch the next Taylor Swift concert tour. GoTickets.com has Taylor Swift tickets for every date on the Taylor Swift tour schedule.

Comments about Park Tool BBT-22 Bottom Bracket Tool:
Excellent quality, fits what it's supposed to, and works like a Park tool should. Don't try to spin a splined bottom bracket out with a screwdriver and hammer, you'll just muck it up. Buy the tool and do it right.
Best Uses
Comments about Park Tool BBT-22 Bottom Bracket Tool:
I used this to replace the atrocious bottom bracket that came on my bike with a sealed Shimano BB. The tool worked great and did what it was supposed to do. It seems very well-made and very strong. I had to WRENCH on it HARD to remove my old BB and the tool didn't flinch. I also really like that you can use a crescent wrench or socket wrench on it.
It seems a little pricey for a fancy socket, but it should last me my lifetime.
Comments about Park Tool BBT-22 Bottom Bracket Tool:
I bought this tool in addition to the Park CWP-7C crank puller so I could do my own maintenance. In one use, both tools have already paid for themselves 2x compared to what the local shops would charge me.
This bottom bracket tool fit the UN73 I replaced with the UN55 perfectly and made the job incredibly easy.
Best Uses
Comments about Park Tool BBT-22 Bottom Bracket Tool:
it works, but i did have issues with it slipping when removing a BB that was 4 years old, it takes some technique to prevent it from slipping, but it works.
installation of the new BB was easy, just needed to make sure all the threads were perfectly clean and it went on without a problem.
you need this tool if you want to install a splined BB.

One of my monoblock amps (emotive UPA-1) decided to blow up and now the tweeter on one my lSi15's is no longer working. The speaker is under warranty but I was just curious about a couple things since I cant get in touch with polk over the weekend. It is only the tweeter, the rest of the drivers are working.
1. Do you think it is likely the tweeter itself or the crossover?
2. is there any sort of fuse that it could be?
3. any idea if polk will send me a replacement tweeter as these things are a pain to ship/bring to a service center

Kevin Ware cleared by Louisville compliance in speed ticket incident
Nov 19, 2013, 7:17 PM EDT
A few days after Kevin Ware made headlines off the court, the Louisville reserve guard was cleared by the university's compliance office and is expected to play in the Cardinals' game against Hartford on Tuesday night.
Adam Himmelsbach of the Courier-Journal, confirmed this news Louisville spokesperson Kenny Klein on Tuesday evening, though his messages to the school's compliance office had not been returned.
In late October, Ware was pulled over, driving 95 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone, and Monday he missed a court date for speeding and reckless driving. More issues surfaced after it was reported that the car Ware was driving was a 2013 Dodge Charger, which costs around $30,000. The car is said to belong to Ware's longtime friend Matt Case, a 23-year-old who claims to be enrolled at U of L.
"We were doing our due diligence and we have gone through the process and have not found any issues at all with Kevin," Klein told the Courier-Journal. "[The compliance office] is satisfied and [the case] is closed."
Ware made his debut last Friday, scoring five points in 13 minutes of action in Louisville's 99-54 win over Cornell.

I just found an excellent hair stylist and after four appointments, I got an email from the salon saying she had left. Now I have to find someone else.

^ try and find her on Facebook. Most stylists are. Good luck!
"awwww....shades of Janet Lynn" - Dick Button on anyone who makes more than one mistake in their program.
If you've been using Génefique, keep using it, but only in the mornings, and use the Visionnaire at night. Visionnaire does a lot of repair work on your skin, and since the body naturally does its repair and rejuvenation during sleep, nighttime application will yield the best results from the product.
Also, a lot of people (in testing and overall feedback) stated that using both the Génefique and Visionnaire in tandem was almost "too much" on their skin, in some cases causing minor irritation.
I'm picking up my samples of Visionnaire later on today, so tonight I will add it to my skincare regimen.
I'm not a Lancome brand skincare expert, but using two serums at once sounds like overkill.
Oh and I was looking through my sister's bathroom cupboard the other day to try and find my hair stuff and she had the whole Genefique system. Full size. HOW DID SHE AFFORD THAT??
Do you have a Von Maur department store near you? Their store credit card is interest free (higher monthly payments). This is where I go when I want to splurge on higher end shoes and jeans. And makeup.
I've been going for a stronger eye with nude lip on special occasions lately. My hair looks pretty much like this right now, may be less highlights.
"Nature is a damp, inconvenient sort of place where birds and animals wander about uncooked."
from Speedy Death
I don't go as far as cat eye but I do line the inside of the lid and on the outside a bit too on occasion, kinda like Penelope here. I go without liner or just a bit of dark brown liner on the top lid to work if only to make the lashes look longer.

BLV Notte opens with notes of fresh galanga, mandarin and bergamot; the heart unifies vodka, acacia, powdery iris and tobacco blossom; the base reveals dark chocolate, ginger and amber.
It's not one of my favorites; it smells kind of like a spicy-ish baby powder on me.
"The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources."-- Albert Einstein.
I got my hair colored today--she tried to give me violet highlights but they came out as more red highlights with a violet hue. It looks good, just not exactly what I was hoping for...but seeing as how I only paid 10 bucks, I'm not that upset.
I just got done coloring my hair - instead of maintaining its regular color, I toned it down to a medium auburn with the slightest coppery shimmer. It's exactly what I was aiming for - it's the perfect shade for Autumn and it complements my skin tone, so I'm and feeling a bit right now, even without a bit of make-up on .
Part of me wants to haul out all of my shadows, liners, and lip colors to try a bunch of different color palettes and looks with the new shade, but I'm too tired . I hate getting older .
Where else would I post this silly poll but here: http://thelook.today.com/_news/2011/...rthy?GT1=43001.
Also I just had my hair cut and colored and both services went up from $75 to $80 apiece. The wax-and-brows at Aveda went from $57 to $60.
Grooming is expensive.
"Youth and vigor is no match for age and deceit." -- Prancer
$60 for waxing?? Wow. Don't they usually have someone who charges less? I went to a girl for awhile that charged $25 for brow waxing, and she did a really good job.
Also--ask if anyone is training in at the salon. That's how I got the $10 color job, and my hair looks pretty damn good. (She also threw in the new botanical therapy treatment service under the radar so my hair is unbelievably soft.) Sometimes stylists need "models" to try new treatments, and they'll charge waaaaay less if you volunteer.

The MUST Ministries 10th annual Gobble Jog road race on Thanksgiving morning raises money to fight poverty. This year's theme, "It's kind of a big deal," heralds the Nov. 22 event that will hopefully attract 10,000 runners, building on last year's 9,453 attendees. Families, friends, dogs, corporations, churches and schools gather at the historic Marietta Square to give back to the community as a family, individual or team.
Proceeds from the race help MUST Ministries provide 34,000 individuals each year with food, shelter, education and employment opportunities, clothing and access to healthcare to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness and foster long-term change.
Three hundred volunteers will help set up the family-friendly event that many say resembles a street party more than a road race. For novice runners, the 1K and Tot Trot offer a leisurely pace, and strollers and "Gobble dogs" are welcome. This year's primary sponsors are The Marietta Daily Journal and WellStar.
2012 Gobble Jog Schedule:
8:00 a.m…….10K run
9:15 a.m…….1K walk/run
9:30 a.m…….5K walk/run
10:30 a.m…...Tot Trot (age 5 and younger)
Those looking to qualify for seeding in the Peachtree Road Race should compete in the 5K or in the 10K, which is often less crowded than the 5K, thanks to its distance and early start time.
Standard registrants receive a long-sleeved t-shirt, though an upgraded Dri-Fit shirt and access to amenities are available for those who register as VIP runners. Registration is open online through November 18.
For more information, visit www.gobblejog.org or call 678-218-4521.

While right now this would only affect the citizens of NYC, the supersize controversy has become a nationwide discussion due to anti-obesity campaigns.
So, chime in and tell us what you think.
Is it right to ban businesses from selling any size drinks they want?
Will these limitations help cut down on obesity?
Most fast food places, have free refills available. Anyone can get as much as they want and more. Outside of being politically correct it's abhorent.
Mayor Bloomberg, please contain your enthusiasm about being on the news and get some real work done.
The government has no right to limit the size of drinks, the number of hamburgers someone can eat, or the size of French fries.
Spend time on more important issues than trying to control what people eat or drink.
Nope, not right to ban businesses from selling any size drinks they want. Will the ban apply to gas stations or convenience stores that sell the mega size drinks?

LSiM705 Impressions
With the recent acquisition of my tube power amps, I've been looking for speakers that might be an easier load for them over the next several years. Specifically I wanted better efficiency and an 8 ohm impedance or higher. And of course if I was going to change speakers, I'd want to go up in sound quality, not down. This is hard to do on my budget. After a couple of recent false starts with other speakers, I was prepared to keep my LSi15's for a while
Enter the Polk LSiM705.
These speakers have been on my watch list since they came out a few years ago. At $3,000 a pair they've been a bit out of my price range. When a recent sale from Polk presented itself, I snapped up a pair!
Wow, these puppies are heavy. At 78 lbs these are about 20% heavier than the LSi15s at 66 lbs. All of the internal bracing and separate driver chambers makes for a heavy speaker. They are 1.5 inches taller than my LSi15s and seem to be quite top heavy. The front feet look narrower than those on the LSi15. I'm pretty concerned about these getting knocked over accidentally. I've got "outriggers" on order from Sound city:
I hope they are of good quality as they aren't inexpensive.
Fit and Finish
This is an area that Polk has really outdone itself. These speakers look like hand built custom speakers. Believe me, the pictures do not do them justice. All of the hardware used is top quality. The veneer is flawless and looks painted on. All joints are barely even visible. There are no parallel surfaces in these cabinets and I doubt they are cheap to produce.
The grills are held on with hidden magnets. The speakers therefore look great with or without the grills installed. This is a really neat feature. I know that some other high end speakers use this method, but I've never owned any and it really works great.
The binding posts and plate are higher quality than any I've seen on a Polk before. In some other reviews, positive comments have been made about the use of jump wires versus jump bars on the binding posts. This is a step in the right direction. However, I feel the wires and connectors used are slightly cheesy and not up to the overall quality of the rest of the speaker. I replaced mine with some better ones I had laying around.
In order to level the speaker, the spikes/feet are adjustable from the top, which is a very convenient feature. The speakers are adjustable where they stand. There's no need to tilt the speakers to get under them to make adjustments. The adjustment hardware is of high quality and gives the speaker an expensive high tech look. Too bad this area will be modified on my pair to accept the new outriggers I have ordered. It's pretty dumb to have a speaker this top heavy with such narrow feet. This is one of the very few flaws of these speakers.
I've read people who've raved about the overall looks of the LSiM's versus the LSi's. I do not agree. I prefer the LSi15's aesthetics. I am aware that I am in the minority here.
In my opinion the color on the Mahogany models is way too dark. These speakers might as well be black paint. In fact everybody whose seen these so far believes they are black, until I shine a flashlight directly on them. Only then can you barely see these are VERY dark brown. And mine are directly in front of a window! The veneer is also sanded down too smooth IMHO. None of the grain of the wood is visible. Why use real veneer if you can't even discern it's authenticity?
I also prefer the unique and contemporary shape of the LSi's. I understand and appreciate the sonic benefits of the LSiM's curved cabinet, but I don't think they look as "clean" and they don't fit my decor quite as well. Please understand the LSim's are beautiful speakers. The above comments are based on them in my home vs the LSi's only.
The Sound:
In the last few years I've had a number of different speakers in my two channel rig for extended listening:
Magnepan 1.6
Paradigm Monitor 9
Vandersteen 3
MartinLogan ElectroMotion ESL
Zu Audio Soul Standard
Polk LSi15
Of these, I've liked the LSi best by far. They gave me the best balance of clarity/imaging and dynamics and overall value. The LSiM705's are a great leap forward in every regard.
In his Model 7, Richard Vandersteen claims to have produced the world's first "truly pistonic" drivers, with cones so stiff that they can't breakup. I can't speak to that claim, but the model 7 is the best imaging speaker I've personally heard. The imaging and clarity of these 705's approaches that of the Vandersteen Model 7 and easily bests the Model 3 in my opinion. The "aerated polypropylene" cones are said by Polk to provide for a very lightweight and very stiff driver. I believe them. I really can't say enough concerning the accuracy and precision and clarity of these loudspeakers. Polk has really done their homework on the design. And unlike other highly accurate speakers such as Thiel and Vandersteen, these speakers aren't bashful. Throw on some Led Zeppelin or Rush, turn up the volume, and they'll provide an instant party. They have a bigger soundstage than the LSi's and much bigger than the previously mentioned brands.
Lots of audio enthusiasts are aware of the phenomenon of better speakers being less forgiving of poorer recordings. The LSiM705s display this characteristic to an extent. The 705s can sound a little cold when asked to reproduce bad material. This is an unfortunate aspect of hyper accurate speakers. This pair seems to be doing less of this as they get broken in.
I mentioned that one of my goals was for a more efficient speaker than my Lsi's. With my 15's and these 705's both being rated at 88db it appears I haven't accomplished that, and I was prepared to accept that. However, these speakers seem significantly louder that the LSi's at any given preamp volume setting. I can only guess that my tube amps are happier with the 705's higher impedance and being operated off the 8 ohm versus 4 ohm taps.
For me these speakers are Keepers. Big time.
Truth be told, I could have remained happy with my Lsi's. When auditioning other speakers, I would at times find a pair that gave me more of a certain aspect of sound quality. Maybe better resolution, or better dynamics. Possibly better sound stage, or better efficiency. But I've never found a speaker that provided the overall balance of the LSi's. At least none I could afford. Until now.

What to Bring (for kids)
Helping Kids Prepare for Surgery
What to Bring the Day of Surgery
- Comfortable clothes. You will change into hospital pajamas, but it's nice to have comfortable clothes when you go home.
- Something from home you might want to take to surgery with you. You could bring something you like to sleep or cuddle with or something that you just like to have with you. Some kids choose not to bring anything at all. That's the point. It's your choice! (as long as you can't eat it and it isn't alive!)
- Things to do. Children's has many toys, games, and other things to do, but if you have something special you like to do, ask your parents if it's okay to bring it the along. And just like when you bring something to school, it's a good idea to have your name on it.
- A camera (if you like). It's fun to make a scrapbook of your experience at the hospital. It's a great way to share your story with friends. Please do not include other patients, families, or staff in pictures without their permission.
- Questions for your doctors. You might be wondering about your surgery. If you write down your questions it's easier to remember them when you see your doctor.
