I was never too fond of this suit and i dont know why . Maybe its because Elvis didnt look well in most pictures of him wearing it .
I have to disagree on the stone colors, the big oval stones are colored crystal Ab mirror finish which is correct, but the rest are all colorless. the color you see in the smaller stones is just a prisim effect from the oval stones. if you look the small stones in the pattern are facetted with cuts like a diamond, not just round top. Pictures in entry #14 show this. Its a great sleek suit with not over coloring. i see this it as a colorless turquise suit pattern.

This was the very first lipstick I ever purchased. I still have it in my collection and use it once in a while. I'm very fond of the color - a medium pink with brown undertones. It looks so fab paired with a nude lip gloss. My only complaints would be the packaging and the longevity. The packaging looks really cheap and could be a little sturdier. Also, I have to reapply several times throughout the day because the color fades easily. Well, I guess you get what you pay for. This is dirt cheap. Overall, it's a really nice lipstick.

I forgot I even had this, and I can't see how I did. I was shopping my stash this morning when I came across this lipstick. "What is THAT?" I have probably 100 lipsticks, but I usually have some recollection of what they look like. When I opened it I actually went, "Ooooh!" How did I not know I had this? Why didn't I fall in love with it before?
One reason could be the smell of Rimmel lipsticks, which I'm not a fan of. It's like a fruity tropical smell. I had another color that I loved and hated the strong perfume so much I tossed it. Paradise has that scent, but it's not very pronounced, so I'm able to look past it.
Another reason is that for a formula described as Lasting Finish, it's really not. I'd say the wear I get out of this is average. That's the only reason I knocked one star off. It feels very pleasant and creamy, even slightly moisturizing. It doesn't apply heavily, and it's pigmented, but leaves a quite sheer layer on my lips that's buildable.
It's such a hard color to describe; you really have to see it in real life to appreciate it. It's nude, pink, and mauve without really being any of those. It's definitely warmer than Airy Fairy, but has the same muted tone. It's got a pearl finish. In fact, I've never seen a lipstick that actually has the same soft sheen as a real pearl, but this does. For this reason, I think this could function as a go-to nude for anyone of fair-to-medium skin tones. I think it would look lovely even if you're tan-to-dark, but it would be very subtle.
All this being said, the color is so unique and beautiful. I think this is a classic.

Well, now I feel like a dummy for passing over this lipstick for so long. I knew I liked Rimmel's moisturizing formula, so I figured I'd find the "Lasting Finish" ones too drying. Not so! This shade, at least, goes on creamy and forgiving, and lasts quite well, without sucking all the moisture out of my lips. I do like to top it with a dot or two of gloss sometimes, but it can easily be worn alone.
Paradise is a lovely pinky shade with a hint of nude and some shimmer that looks either nude or pink -- so that it's just slightly pearly, not frosty. Very wearable and neutral rather than firmly cool or warm in tone. For my lips, which are fairly pigmented, it's not quite a MLBB shade, but it's one of the more wearable mid-to-light pinky shades I've ever had (and I'm always looking for them).

I have very, very pale skin so it's always a bit of a task to find a lipstick that doesn't make me look pale and awful. "Paradise" by Rimmel London, however, is one of the few shades I've found that not only works with my skin-tone, but even manages to match my hair and plays well with my other cosmetics as well!
The shade itself is a bit on the purple side of mauve, and a bit darker than most lipsticks out on the market. One of the best things I've found about it is that you can sort-of 'mix and match' with it and other lipsticks - it's absolutely very layerable, so if you have a shade you love but it's just not quite working, you can put that on and then a swipe of Paradise over it and suddenly it's toned down just a bit.
My one, biggest complaint with the lipstick? The cap doesn't stay on very well at all. Beware if you keep it in your purse or bag - it can and will come off and make a huge mess of all your things. I've solved this by getting a small, zip up change purse and keeping it stashed in that just to be safe.

Lemme just quote dnagirl's review on this, as it applies to me too: 'This has become my go-to lipstick - the one I pull out unless I have a particular reason for a different look.'
Every Rimmel lipstick that I own is awesome. I prefer their formula to those of Revlon, Maybelline, MAC, Dior, & sometimes Chanel. Anyway this is a beautiful rose mauve with a bit of iridescence and it looks very pretty. Lovely formula, the colour straddles the border of cool and warm tone, which probably means it will flatter a wide range of skintones. I'm medium, warm, around NC20?

As other reviewers have described, this is a gorgeous nude/pink/brown lipstick. I think it would be flattering on all skin tones. The only qualm I have with Rimmel lipsticks is that the lids keep falling off in my purse. For the low price though, it is totally worth it!

This has become my go-to lipstick - the one I pull out unless I have a particular reason for a different look. It feels good going on and lasts reasonably well. It enhances my relatively pale lips nicely whether I have on jeans and a tee or my work attire. It is a soft pinkish with a hint of brown. Understated, but noticeable. I really love it - I'll soon pick up a couple extras b/c it seems as if anytime I really like something, the company discontinues it.

Try this Paradise color if Airy Fairy was too light for you. That color makes me look dead, but Paradise is almost my lip shade only a tad rosier. Pretty and understated, my kind of nude.

This is my kind of nude. Nude to me means a shade close to my lip color, but much better; "fleshy" colors that look like I have life in my lips, not the blanked out beiges and pale pale pinks that make me look like I'm about to pass over. The colorless "nude" lip trend is on its way out, I think. It just seems so dated by now. My quite pigmented lips are a browny pink color, so this lipstick gives me a polished, finished look. It gives my whole face a boost of subtle color,

Imagine that!
I'm actually a little torn with finding out this time around....but chances are we will go for it

A bunch of us SES conference speakers happen to be in Washington, D.C., this week speaking at the Specialized Information Publishers Association (SIPA) conference. This includes Matt Bailey, President of SiteLogic, Bill Barnes, Co-founder and Executive Vice President of Enquiro Search Solutions Inc., Nan Dawkins, Founder and CEO of Serengeti Communications, and me.
It's not hard to figure out how this happened. The chair of the Online Marketing Track is Rory Brown, chair of SIPA UK, who is the former chairman of Incisive Media. Yes, it's a small, small world.
During the cocktail reception last night, our group gathered to compare notes -- and one of the observations that bubbled up was this: "In today's global recession, flat is the new up."
In other words, we all overheard specialized information publishers asking their colleagues, "How's business?" If one of those colleagues said, "Flat," then the other specialized information publishers were impressed.
Nevertheless, as they gathered for their 33rd annual international conference, even those who had remained flat during the steepest US recession in 50 years are more than ready for the economic recovery.
This hope that the worse is behind us was reinforced by the luncheon speaker: Andrew Madden of Google. His address was entitled, "How Google Can Support Specialized Publishers in 2009."
Madden talked about the different ways Google has been working with publishers to support their business models -- whether they be ad-supported or premium content. With the current economic downturn depressing even online advertising, more and more specialized publishers are looking at pay-per-view mechanisms or ways they can charge for online content.
Madden discussed how Google is expanding into areas like content digitization in partnereships with publishers and how that can result in a new source of online revenue and brand awareness. He also pointed out that using Google's free Webmaster Tools could help publishers improve their visibility on Google.
No, the audience didn't burst out singing, "Happy Days Are Here Again." But, for a group that has been saying, "Flat is the new up" for the past 12 months, I could sense that they were ready for the time when "Flat is so last year."
My, that will sound good.

Discover the Wealth Within You
Everyone knows that financial planning is all about goals. But most people incorrectly think that financial goals consist of paying for a child's college education, covering major medical expenses and preparing for retirement.
But as Ric Edelman points out in Discover The Wealth Within You: A Financial Plan for Creating a Rich and Fulfilling Life, those aren't goals, they're obligations. And that's why most people rarely...get excited about financial planning. But Edelman argues that dreams and desires-from traveling to faraway places to pursuing a neglected hobby to realizing a secret ambition-are the true objectives of proper financial planning, and in Discover The Wealth Within You, he shows that paying attention to the pursuit of happiness can turn financial planning -- a task many people find boring and even downright onerous -- into an exciting adventure.
Some of the Unique Award-Winning Advice You'll Discover Inside:
- The 4 Steps to Successful Goal Setting
Ric shows you the secrets to getting what you want out of life. - How to Pick Mutual Funds
Learn the right way to pick the funds that are right for you. - The Truth About Creating a Financial Plan
It's not complicated or difficult when using Ric's recipe. - Learn How to Invest Like a Professional
Ric shows you how to adopt the secrets of America's biggest institutional money managers! - Too Many Americans Own Too Much Employer Stock
The Enron mess was predictable and easily avoidable. Let Ric show you how to protect yourself. - The First Real Consumer Guide to Morningstar
The ranking system that virtually all mutual fund investors rely on to invest trillions of dollars -- and almost no one uses it correctly. - Why Owning Index Funds is a Bad Idea
Learn about "The World's Dumbest Investor."
Edelman starts you on the right track with a richly detailed and imaginative worksheet that helps you set positive goals and establish specific dates for achieving them. He explains how to build a plan based on current realities and reasonable assumptions about the future (including earnings on investments, inflation, tax rates, and more); how to modify the plan as circumstances change; and how to incorporate retirement planning -- the #1 goal of most Americans-into the overall plan.
With plans in hand, Edelman writes, "All you have to do now is figure out where to stash all that cash until you're ready to spend it." Thus, the second part of Discover The Wealth Within You is a detailed exploration of investing, including in-depth review of the flawed investment strategies most commonly chosen by individual investors: the safe, low-growth one-investment portfolio; a mix of low-risk cash equivalents and bonds and high-risk stock (with nothing in between); investments based on the latest reports from Wall Street analysts ("market timing"); and rotating among various stock market sectors. Looking closely and critically at each style, Edelman demonstrates the importance of building a portfolio that embraces a variety of asset classes while reflecting the your personal circumstances, liquidity needs, family and financial obligations, goals, risk tolerance, and experience. Based on Modern Portfolio Theory and the proven track records of institutional investors and other professionals, Edelman's approach pinpoints opportunities many consumers ignore (including real estate and international stocks) and exposes common missteps, like over-buying an employers' stock (think Enron!) and keeping far too much money in cash equivalents.
While acknowledging that there are various ways to buy investments (including using a private money manager or buying specific assets with or without the aid of a stock broker or other advisor) Edelman contends that actively managed mutual funds are the most effective way to create a profitable, well-balanced portfolio. (His own firm recommends mutual funds 85% of the time, with variable annuities accounting for the remainder. They also stay away from index funds, which, despite the hype surrounding them, have not out-performed actively managed funds.) Taking you through the task of choosing the right fund among the 8,171 (!) funds recognized by the Investment Company Institute, Edelman provides a complete, accessible explanation of Morningstar's Star Ranking System, as well as its much more useful and relevant Category Rating System and "Style Box" methodology. He explains how to use this information to evaluate the six most important criteria in choosing a fund: relative performance; standard deviation; volatility; management (including shifts in personnel and/or investment emphases); current holdings; and fees. His advice on whether to purchase hybrid funds that contain investments from two or more asset classes or to go with several different "sector specific" funds addresses such issues as redundancy, volatility (hybrid funds tend to see-saw less), and the amount of time one wants to devote to poring over financial statements.
Discover The Wealth Within You will change your perception of financial planning. Its jargon-free explanations and easy-to-follow charts and illustrations, coupled with real-life anecdotes and Edelman's irrepressible humor, bring an intimidating subject down to earth. As he guides you through the process of setting goals and finding the means of realizing them, Edelman shows that the secret of attaining wealth is within everyone's grasp.
"Edelman's book is clear and concise -- a vital tool in building long-term wealth."- Maria Bartiromo, Anchor, CNBC, and author of Use the News
"You're taking a financial risk by not reading this book. If you use Ric's financial recipe you increase the likelihood that you will meet your life goals."

- Steve Arpante, Chairman, Foundation for Financial Planning
"Clear, understandable, and comprehensive, an outstanding and entertaining step-by-step guide to financial security."
- Dallas L. Salisbury, CEO, Employee Benefit Research Institute

- Don M. Blandin, President, American Savings Education Council
"Ric's new book is a fireside chat with a warm and funny advisor. Readers will sleep better after reading, enjoying, and using the clear concepts presented in this book."
- Ed Morrow, CLU, ChFC, CFP, RFC President and CEO, International Association for Registered Financial Planners

PREFATORY NOTEThe Lectures on Modern History were delivered by Lord Acton in his ordinary course as Professor in the academical years 1899–1900 and 1900–01. The Inaugural Lecture on the Study of History, here reprinted, was delivered on June 11, 1895. The document printed in Appendix I. is of great interest, as exhibiting the ideals of Lord Acton as a student and the aims of the undertaking which he planned and still bears his name. It is hoped shortly to issue in another volume the Lectures on the French Revolution, and thus to complete the record of his work as Professor. The Introductory Essay deals exclusively with his Cambridge work. A more general account of his career will precede the volumes of essays and reviews. The editors wish to thank Professor Henry Jackson for his kind advice with regard to the Introduction. J. N. F. R. V. L. [Back to Table of Contents]INTRODUCTION

Posted almost 6 years ago today is St. Patrick's Day and that reminds me of cabbage and cabbage reminds me of Mama. I call this The Cabbage Incident - Mama loved cabbage better than anything. She wasn't cooking so much anymore so whenever I went over I'd cook her a pot of cabbage. A little restuarant down the street had cabbage as a special every Wednesday. Mama always wanted to go there on Wednesdays. She'd call me on the phone and say "It's cabbage day!" On this particular Wednesday, my Mom, me, my daughter and grandson (age 4) and my son's girlfriend went out to lunch for "cabbage day". We had eaten there the week before and the service was rotten. We left a penny tip (suppose to mean bad service). As we walked into the crowded room, we heard one waitress say to another "here they come, the ones who left the penny". That should have forewarned us of things to come.. We had the same waitress, unfortunately, and if we thought service was bad the week before, that was nothing compared to now! She was rude and short with us and snippy. She slammed the silverware and beverages down without a word. Mama was oblivious. She was in her own world anyway and was only thinking about cabbage. The rest of us remarked on how rude the waitress was. When my Mom ordered, she jokingly said to hurry up with the cabbage as she was starving. I don't remember what the waitress answered but it wasn't pleasant. After the waitress left, we all grumbled about how rude she was and how she had spoken to Mama. My son's girlfriend ( young and brash and outspoken) couldn't believe the waitress' behavior. The owner of the restuarant was sitting in a chair against the wall. My son's girlfriend ( Lalauni) went over to him and complained about the waitress' behavior. The owner defended her saying, she was his oldest and best waitresss and he didn't believe her. An argument ensued between them. As it was escalating, our waitress returned and I, deciding to take a stand, said we were leaving and to forget our orders. We had been served drinks and I had a cup of soup. The waitress hands me the bill and I threw it down on the table and said we weren't paying it because the service had been so poor. And we prepared to leave. Mama was disgruntled because she didn't get her cabbage. We asked another waitress to get Mama's order to go. In the mean time, the waitress had gone over to the manager who was still arguing with Lalauni and told him we were refusing to pay. He jumped and ran over to our table and yelled "Get the hell out of here. Get out". Everyone in the restuarant was staring at us and it was so quiet, you could have heard a pin drop. We started to leave with Mama hobbling along behind with her walker, grumbling about her cabbage and my daughter carrying her son. The manager trailed along behind us continuing to yell and Lalauni yelling and cussing right back. It must have made quite a sight. I had never seen anyone act like this manager before. It was ridiculous. Another waitress ran after us with Mama's to go cabbage dinner. I was livid. I had never been thrown out of anyway before. Mama was happy because she got her cabbage but upset because in all the commotion we didn't pay for it. It was a day that is still ingrained in my grandson's memory and mine! We often speak about it. On the way home, I apologized to Mama and told her how sorry I was that it had happened. She looked at me and said " there's one thing I can say about your family, it's never boring!" ( I have never gone back to that place and never will- Mama went back on a regular basis, but without us. Her husband returned the next day and paid for everything) I miss my Mom! |

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before I receive fosphenytoin (Cerebyx)?
You should not receive this medication if you are allergic to fosphenytoin or phenytoin (Dilantin) or if you have certain heart conditions:
- slow heartbeats;
- heart block;
- AV block; or
- Adams-Stokes syndrome (a heart rhythm disorder).
Before you receive fosphenytoin, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:
- heart disease;
- kidney disease;
- liver disease;
- low blood pressure;
- alcoholism;
- porphyria; or
- diabetes.
If you have any of these conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely receive this medication.
Patients of Asian ancestry may have a higher risk of developing a rare but serious skin reaction to fosphenytoin. Your doctor may recommend a blood test before you start the medication to determine your risk of this skin reaction.
Fosphenytoin can lower your blood sugar. If you are a diabetic, check your blood sugar regularly while you are using this medication.
FDA pregnancy category D. Fosphenytoin may cause harm to an unborn baby, but having a seizure during pregnancy could harm both the mother and the baby. Do not receive fosphenytoin without telling your doctor if you are pregnant. Seizure control is very important during pregnancy and the benefits of preventing seizures may outweigh any risks posed by using fosphenytoin.
If you have received fosphenytoin during pregnancy, be sure to tell the doctor who delivers your baby about your fosphenytoin use. Both you and the baby may need to receive medications to prevent excessive bleeding during delivery and just after birth.
Fosphenytoin can make birth control pills less effective. Avoid pregnancy while receiving fosphenytoin.
It is not known whether fosphenytoin passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How is fosphenytoin given (Cerebyx)?
Fosphenytoin is given as an injection into a muscle or through a needle placed into a vein. You will receive this injection in a clinic or hospital setting. Your doctor, nurse, or other healthcare provider will give you this injection.
Your heart rate will be monitored through electrocardiograph or ECG (sometimes called an EKG) when you are given your first dose of fosphenytoin. This machine measures electrical activity of the heart. This will help your doctor determine whether fosphenytoin is causing any harmful effects on your heart.
To be sure this medication is not causing other harmful effects, your blood may need to be tested at regular intervals.

Expanded CUG Repeats Trigger Aberrant Splicing of ClC-1 Chloride Channel Pre-mRNA and Hyperexcitability of Skeletal Muscle in Myotonic Dystrophy
Molecular Cell, Volume 10, Issue 1, 1 July 2002, Pages 35-44
Ami Mankodi, Masanori P. Takahashi, Hong Jiang, Carol L. Beck, William J. Bowers, Richard T. Moxley, Stephen C. Cannon and Charles A. Thornton
SummaryIn myotonic dystrophy (dystrophia myotonica, DM), expression of RNAs that contain expanded CUG or CCUG repeats is associated with degeneration and repetitive action potentials (myotonia) in skeletal muscle. Using skeletal muscle from a transgenic mouse model of DM, we show that expression of expanded CUG repeats reduces the transmembrane chloride conductance to levels well below those expected to cause myotonia. The expanded CUG repeats trigger aberrant splicing of pre-mRNA for ClC-1, the main chloride channel in muscle, resulting in loss of ClC-1 protein from the surface membrane. We also have identified a similar defect in ClC-1 splicing and expression in two types of human DM. We propose that a transdominant effect of mutant RNA on RNA processing leads to chloride channelopathy and membrane hyperexcitability in DM.

Ion-channel defects and aberrant excitability in myotonia and periodic paralysis
Trends in Neurosciences, Volume 19, Issue 1, 1 January 1996, Pages 3-10
Stephen C Cannon
AbstractThe myotonias and periodic paralyses are a diverse group of skeletal muscle disorders that share a common pathophysiological mechanism: all are caused by derangements in the electrical excitability of the sarcolemma. Mutations within coding regions of ion-channel genes have been identified recently as the underlying molecular defects in these heritable disorders. Chloride-channel mutations cause a reduction in the resting conductance, which enhances excitability and gives rise to myotonia. By contrast, missense mutations in the L-type Ca2+ channel reduce the electrical excitability of the fiber and cause a form of periodic paralysis. Mutations of the sodium channel impair inactivation of the channel, which, depending on the type and severity of the functional defect, results in either paralysis or myotonia.Trends Neurosci. (1996) 19, 3–10

Loss of the Muscle-Specific Chloride Channel in Type 1 Myotonic Dystrophy Due to Misregulated Alternative Splicing
Molecular Cell, Volume 10, Issue 1, 1 July 2002, Pages 45-53
Nicolas Charlet-B., Rajesh S. Savkur, Gopal Singh, Anne V. Philips, Elizabeth A. Grice and Thomas A. Cooper
SummaryMyotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a dominant multisystemic disorder caused by a CTG expansion in the 3′ untranslated region of the DMPK gene. A predominant characteristic of DM1 is myotonia resulting from skeletal muscle membrane hyperexcitability. Here we demonstrate loss of the muscle-specific chloride channel (ClC-1) mRNA and protein in DM1 skeletal muscle tissue due to aberrant splicing of the ClC-1 pre-mRNA. The splicing regulator, CUG binding protein (CUG-BP), which is elevated in DM1 striated muscle, binds to the ClC-1 pre-mRNA, and overexpression of CUG-BP in normal cells reproduces the aberrant pattern of ClC-1 splicing observed in DM1 skeletal muscle. We propose that disruption of alternative splicing regulation causes a predominant pathological feature of DM1.

Add/View Comments (0)Chloride channels with reduced single-channel conductance in recessive myotonia congenita
Ch. Fahlke, E. Zachar and R. Rüdel
Department of General Physiology University of Ulm D-7900 Ulm, Germany
- Myoballs were cultured from muscle biopsies of patients having Becker-type recessive generalized myotonia (RGM). Single-channel recordings showed that the conductance of the "intermediate" CI− channel, the Cl− channel having the highest membrane density and accounting for most of the Cl− conductance in myoballs, was reduced to about 50%. All other channel parameters tested, such as gating properties, ion selectivity, and regulatory pathways, were not different from controls. Two other Cl− channel types were only rarely observed and did not seem different from controls. Also, the macroscopic Cl− conductance measured with tight-seal whole-cell recording was smaller than controls, particularly in the positive membrane potential domain. These results might explain myotonia in RGM on the single-channel level.
