OS X Compatible UPS Brands
Can anyone tell me if any of the UPS devices listed below are compatible with OS X?
I just purchased the Socomec NET0600-PE, 600VA UPS and the System Profiler does not see it connected nor do I see the UPS options in the System Preferences, so I will be returning it to the store. I am listing these brands/models because that is what is available here in New Zealand. Unfortunately, I am not able to find a distributor for CyberPower here. I need UPS for my 2011 27" iMac12,2 (310W). Thank you in advance. |

No, we don't have that luxury over here.
Here is a little update: Most APC, Belkin and Eaton models with USB port will work out of the box. I just bought Eaton 3S 700 and have to say it is a very nice compact unit that is fully compatible with OS X without the need to install any additional software. |

Biography (Dictionary of World Biography: Twentieth Century)
Article abstract: Author of an important body of stories, poems, and essays, Borges has influenced modern fiction and criticism in both South and North America.
Early Life
The son of Jorge Guillermo and Leonor Alcevedo de Borges, Jorge Luis Borges was born in Buenos Aires on August 24, 1899. His ancestors had been involved in Argentina's history, having fought for the country's independence and later against various dictators; these ancestors would serve as subjects for some of Borges' poems. So, too, would his childhood home in Palermo (a working-class neighborhood on the north side of Buenos Aires), with its windmill to draw water, its garden, and its trees and birds. A frail child who did not enter school until he was nine, Borges spent much time in his father's extensive library, an activity that he later called "the chief event of my life." There he read many of the works that would inform his writing, by authors such as Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll, Miguel de Cervantes, Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Keats, and Algernon Charles Swinburne. He read their works in English because his paternal grandmother, Frances Haslam, had come from Great Britain and "Georgie," as he was called at home, learned her language before he knew Spanish. Even Don Quixote de la Mancha (1605) he first encountered in English. When he later read the original, he felt that he was reading a translation. From Haslam, he also heard stories about the Argentine frontier of the 1870's; one of these stories, about an Englishwoman abducted by Indians, provided the basis of "Historia del guerrero y la cautiva" (1949; "Story of the Warrior and the Captive," 1962).
His literary vocation, along with his weak eyes, he inherited from his father, a lawyer and man of letters who had published some poetry and a novel. Borges claimed that his father taught him that language could be magical and musical, and from his youth Borges was destined to fulfill the literary dream that failing sight denied his father. Certainly he came to writing early: At six, he produced a short summary of various Greek myths, anticipating his lifelong interest in minotaurs, labyrinths, and the fantastic. About three years later, El Paîs, a Buenos Aires daily, published his Spanish translation of Oscar Wilde's "The Happy Prince"; the translation was so mature in style that the work was attributed to Borges' father.
In 1914, the family went to Europe so that the elder Borges could be treated for increasing blindness. Borges enrolled at the College of Geneva, and, unable to return to Argentina because of World War I, he spent the next several years in this Swiss city. There he learned French, Latin, and German, and he read voraciously. When travel was again possible, the Borgeses moved to Lugano and Majorca before settling temporarily in Spain. In Seville, Borges published his first poem (in Grecia, December 31, 1919), a Whitmanesque hymn to the sea, and joined a group of avant-garde writers who called themselves ultraístas. Their emphasis on metaphor and rejection of the psychological, realistic novel would influence Borges' views of literary composition.
Life's Work
Upon returning to Argentina, Borges organized a number of young poets under the banner of ultraísmo and published the short-lived Prisma (December, 1921, and May, 1922), dedicated to their vision of literature. He would edit two other magazines, both called Proa, in the 1920's, and he contributed to almost a dozen others. In addition, he published seven books during this decade, four volumes of poetry and three of essays. In many ways, these are apprentice pieces—Borges said that later he sought out copies and burned them—but they reveal a number of interests that underlie his mature work. Commenting on his first collection of poetry, Fervor de Buenos Aires (1923; translated in Selected Poems, 1923-1967, 1973), he stated, "I think I have never strayed beyond that book. I feel that all my subsequent writing has only developed themes taken up there. I feel that all during my lifetime I have been rewriting that one book." Much of the volume, like his others of this period, is devoted to local color, for Borges was discovering his native city and country for the first time. While much of his later work is less regional in flavor, Borges remained a literary nationalist. In 1950, he published an essay on the literature of the Argentine frontier (Aspectos de la literatura gauchesca) and ten years later another on gaucho poetry, having co-edited an anthology of such works in 1955 (Poesía gauchesca).
More characteristic of Borges' best-known writing are the discussions of time and space. In "El Truco," which describes a Latin American card game, Borges notes that, because the number of possible combinations of cards is finite, players must repeat hands that others held in the past. Not only are the hands the same, though; the players, too, according to Borges, become their predecessors. "Caminata" (stroll) claims that, if the viewer stops looking at the street, the scene vanishes. Borges is herein playing with George Berkeley's idealism and challenging the conventional notion of reality. If what seems real may be obliterated with a blink, that which is "False and dense/ like a garden traced on a mirror" can become real ("Benarés"). Already, too, one finds the learned allusions, the depth of reading so typical of Borges.
Although Borges is best known as a writer of short stories, he came to this genre slowly, hesitantly. According to Borges, he began writing short stories after an accident in 1938 left him uncertain of his mental abilities. Fearing that failure with a poem or essay would be too devastating, he turned instead to a new form and produced "Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote" (1942; "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote," 1962). Actually, he had been thinking about, even writing, prose fiction well before this. In Discusión (1932), he had included an essay that anticipated his practice, commenting in "El arte narrativo y la magia" (narrative art and magic) that the novel should resemble "a precise game of staying on the alert, of echoes, and of affinities." Rejecting supposedly realistic, psychological narratives, he praises the work of Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, and William Morris, for whom plot rather than character is primary. In addition to theorizing, he began publishing a number of short stories, thinly disguised as essays; many of his later pieces, including "Pierre...

Pierre Menard, Author of the (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
The Story
The title of this story indicates that Jorge Luis Borges is engaging in his customary mischief of rearranging the universe, for almost any reader of the fiction of this master storyteller would know that the author of El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha (1605, 1615; The History of the Valorous and Wittie Knight-Errant, Don Quixote of the Mancha, 1612-1620; better known as Don Quixote de la Mancha) is not Pierre Menard but Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616). The narrator begins by relating the details of his encounter with Menard through a series of mutual friends, in particular the baroness de Bacourt and the countess de Bagnoregio, formerly of Monaco but now married to an international philanthropist in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The narrator lists what he calls the "visible" work of Menard, comparing his enumeration of works to the catalog prepared by Madame Henri Bachelier and published by a newspaper suspect for its Protestant tendencies. The list includes translations of classical authors, treatises on philosophical and metaphysical problems, monographs on poetic language, and various works of poetry. The narrator then turns to the other, more important work—the subterranean, heroic, peerless, and unfinished. This extraordinary composition consists of two chapters and a fragment of a third chapter of Don Quixote de la Mancha. Menard's work is not another Quixote; rather, it is the Quixote itself.
Menard's inspiration came from two sources: a fragment by Novalis (1772-1801), which deals with the theme of a total identification with a given author, and an unnamed parasitic book that places a classic fictional character in a modern setting. Menard attempted to create a few fragments that would coincide word for word with the Quixote, not by copying the text but by assimilating it completely and then inventing it anew.
Menard first tried to accomplish his task in 1918 by becoming Cervantes—knowing Spanish well, fighting the Turks and the Moors, and forgetting the history of the world from 1602 to 1918. He then discarded that plan and adopted another, which led to the final invention analyzed by the narrator. He wrote the Quixote from the experience and perspective of the twentieth century author Pierre Menard.
The result of Menard's endeavor is three passages that coincide in every textual detail with the corresponding chapters of Cervantes's Don Quixote de la Mancha. As the narrator observes, however, there is a vivid contrast in style. Cervantes's style is contemporary and natural; Menard's is archaic and affected. Cervantes's view of history as "the mother of truth" is merely rhetorical; Menard's history as engenderer of truth is an astounding and original concept.
The narrator reasons that Menard's greatest contribution is his enrichment of the art of reading through the techniques of deliberate anachronism and erroneous attribution. Menard's illuminating labor has made possible the reading of great classics as contemporary works. To read the original text of the Iliad (c. 750 b.c.e.;...

Pierre Menard, Author of the (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
The Work
In "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote," Borges combines a sophisticated sense of humor, directed toward the scholasticism of the academic, with one of his favorite images—that of the simulacrum. The story begins as a eulogy written in the first person and dedicated to the memory of an admirable French author, Pierre Menard. The narrator first provides a list of the author's visible works in a rather pompous, academic style; the narrator often invokes his literary authority by dropping names of famous writers or providing documentary proof through the citation of very real authors or journals in his footnotes. The insertion of footnotes for the purpose of creating an impression of...

Biography (Critical Survey of Mystery & Detective Fiction, Revised Edition)
Jorge Luis Borges was born on August 24, 1899, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the son of Jorge Guillermo Borges, a lawyer and psychology teacher, and Leonor Acevedo de Borges, a descendant of old Argentine and Uruguayan stock. A precocious child who spent much of his childhood indoors, Borges later said that his discovery of his father's library was the chief event in his life; he began writing at the age of six, imitating classical Spanish authors such as Miguel de Cervantes.
Attending school in Switzerland during World War I, Borges read, and was strongly influenced by, the French Symbolist poets and such English prose writers as Robert Louis Stevenson, G. K. Chesterton, and Thomas Carlyle. After the war, Borges spent...

Jorge Luis Borges was born on August 24, 1899, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the first of two children born to Jorge Guillermo Borges and Leonor Acevedo de Borges. (His sister, Norah, was born in 1901.) Borges's ancestors included prominent Argentine military and historical figures on both sides of his family and an English grandmother on his father's.
"Georgie," as Borges's family called him, began reading very early, first in English, then in Spanish. Tutored first by his English grandmother and later by a private governess, and with access to his father's library (which contained numerous volumes in English), young Borges devoured a wide range of writings, among them those of Robert Louis Stevenson, Rudyard...

Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: World Poets)
Jorge Luis Borges was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1899. Borges grew up bilingual in Spanish and English, largely because he had a British grandmother, and later learned some French, German, and Latin during the family's four years in Switzerland (1914-1919). The major conflict during his early years was between forcefulness and literary refinement. Before leaving for Switzerland (to seek treatment for his father's growing blindness), his family lived in a suburb plagued with knife-fighting gauchos and other criminals, a fascination with which often surfaced in Borges's writings. In partial contrast, his father was a lawyer, psychology teacher, and amateur novelist. Once, however, when Borges was being bullied by...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on August 24, 1899, to Jorge Guillermo Borges and Leonor Acevedo de Borges, Jorge Luis Borges (BAWR-hays) belonged to a well-off family. His father was of English descent. The young Borges appears to have enjoyed a relatively happy childhood and the security of a close-knit Latin American family. Under the nurturing influence of his family, Borges began to write at a very early age. He read voraciously from his father's personal library, which was rich in adventure tales by English authors such as Rudyard Kipling. Stories about distant lands and wild animals of the East shaped Borges's childhood imagination. This curiosity was later to develop into more serious pursuits of study in the areas of...

Biography (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
Combining some unusual literary techniques with a refined wit, Jorge Luis Borges insisted on the fictionality of fiction—something fabricated and artificial. Many of Borges's stories are true "artifices," carefully wrought intellectual exercises that involve clever conceits. Borges is thus a truly postmodern writer, as interested in the process of construction as in the final product itself. Through the use of metaphors such as the labyrinth and the mirror and a highly cerebral style, Borges offers the reader a unique philosophy that denies the division between the real and the unreal worlds.

Jorge Luis Borges (BAWR-hays), South America's most famous writer of short fiction, was born in 1899 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the son of Jorge Guillermo Borges, a lawyer and psychology teacher, and Leonor Acevedo de Borges, a descendant of old Argentine and Uruguayan families. An extremely intelligent child who spent much of his childhood indoors, Borges named his father's library as the most important influence on his career. Based on his reading in that library, he began writing at the early age of six, imitating classical Spanish authors such as Miguel de Cervantes and others.{$S[A]Domecq, H.

Jorge Luis Borges, a master of English and Spanish prose, grew up in a neighborhood of gangsters. For many years, he imagined himself a companion to those outlaws, until he grew up and faced the truth, which was that he spent most of his youth locked away in the safety of his family's library with a seemingly endless supply of books that fed his imagination. His family members were also somewhat notorious themselves. His mother was descended from a long line of freedom fighters and soldiers and kept the Borges' house decorated with swords and other memorabilia of wars. His grandfather was shot to death during Argentina's frontier days, and Borges' father, a lawyer and professor of psychology, was a professed anarchist. It seems, then, that Borges never had a choice: he was destined to revolutionize Latin American literature with his elegantly crafted short stories.Essential Facts
- Borges was raised in a bilingual family in Buenos Aires. He was well out of childhood before he realized that English and Spanish were two separate languages.
- Borges' younger sister, Norah, was the only friend he had as a child. The two of them spent a lot of their day acting out stories they had read.
- When Borges was 29, he met Elsa Astete. She was 20. Borges fell in love and thought Elsa had too. But she suddenly left him and married another man. When Borges was in his sixties, he reunited with Elsa, who became Borges' first wife.
- In 1938, Borges was hit on the head. While recovering, he almost died from blood poisoning. That near-death experience changed his thinking, and he started writing in a new style, one that would stay with him for the rest of his life.
- Borges died on June 14, 1986. During the last thirty years of his life, he was completely blind, but that didn't stop him from publishing. His mother helped by reading to him and taking dictation.

The Rochester Rattlers fell to the Chesapeake Bayhawks 12-8 on Saturday, August 3rd and were eliminated from playoff contention.
Rochester was outscored 4-1 in the second quarter, and was held to under ten goals for the sixth time this year as they suffered their eighth defeat this season. Attackman Ned Crotty tallied four points, and Duke rookie Dave Lawson scored twice as the Rattlers were unable to stay in the playoff race.
Chesapeake started off the first quarter of Saturday hot, starting the game with a three-goal run. The first goal didn't come until 3:08 in when Bayhawks leading scorer Drew Westervelt struck first to give Chesapeake a 1-0 lead. In the next 1:42, Chesapeake scored two more goals, with scores from Matt Mackrides and Michael Kimmel. Rochester had their scoring opportunities in the first frame, including a man up opportunity after a Matt Abbott offsides penalty, but failed to convert on the man advantage. The Rattlers finally ended the Bayhawks' streak when Lawson extended his scoring streak to seven games with his 14th tally of the season after he used a slick face dodge and slipped one past Kip Turner to make the score 3-1. Lawson also drew a penalty on that play, and Rochester capitalized on that man advantage with a Kevin Leveille quick stick off a John Ranagan feed to cut Chesapeake's lead to 3-2. That strike would stand as the last score of the opening quarter, with Rochester heading into the second trailing the Bayhawks, 3-2.
The second quarter was all Chesapeake, as the Bayhawks outscored the Rattlers 4-1 in the second frame. Chesapeake again started the second quarter on a roll, opening with another three-goal run. The Bayhawks struck first in the second, when a Rochester turnover led to an Abbot fast break goal to give the Bayhawks a 4-2 lead. 51 seconds later, Mackrides tallied his second of the night to put Chesapeake up 5-2. After another Rochester turnover, Jeff Reynolds pushed it in transition to increase Chesapeake's lead to 6-2. Rochester really struggled finding the net in the second quarter, with many turnovers and sloppy play. The Rattlers finally scored their lone goal of the quarter when 2013 MLL All-Star Mike Manley intercepted a pass and took it end to end to score his third of the season and to make the score 6-3 with 1:41 remaining. The Bayhawks were able to find the back of the net once more before half time, when Ben Rubeor scored with 52 seconds left to bring Chesapeake into the second half leading Rochester 7-3.
The third quarter was very back and forth, with the Rattlers and Bayhawks trading scores. Rochester struck first in the second half, when Lawson drove to the net down the right ally and scored his second of the night to cut Chesapeake's lead to 7-4. Following that goal, an attempted pass from Crotty got deflected and found its way through Chesapeake's defense, and slipped by Turner for a two-point strike to bring the Rattlers within one with a score of 7-6. Abbot and Grant scored the next two goals for the Bayhawks to extend their lead to 9-6, but Rochester's Steven Boyle finished a Crotty feed off a dodge from behind to tally his eighth of the year and to make the score 9-7. Chesapeake would score the final goal of the third quarter, when Westervelt tallied his second of the night, bringing Chesapeake into the final quarter leading 10-7.
The fourth and final quarter saw little action, with only three total goals being scored. After an early tripping penalty from Rattlers' Joel White, Westervelt scored his hat trick goal 1:54 into the fourth to put Chesapeake ahead of Rochester 11-7. The next 7:59 went scoreless for both teams, with Rochester suffering from more turnovers. The Rattlers were able to find their first score of the fourth when Crotty drove from behind and fired one past Turner for his second of the night 9:53 in to make it 11-8, but would not score again, as Chesapeake's Kyle Dixon would add some insurance late and would help the Bayhawks defeat the Rattlers with a final score of 12-8.
Rattlers faceoff man John Ortolani won the faceoff battle, going 13-23 at the X, and goalie John Galloway made six saves in the loss. White also led the Rochester with nine ground balls. The loss leaves the Rattlers with a 5-8 record, and eliminates them from the 2013 MLL playoffs, with Charlotte, Denver, Hamilton, and Chesapeake all claiming playoff spots.
Rochester is in action for the last time this season next Saturday, August 10th at 7 PM. Don't miss your final chance to see the Rattlers play, as you can watch that game on ESPN3.

Oil sands monitoring
Investors need to understand, acknowledge and mitigate the environmental and social impacts deriving from oil sands development if companies are to avoid serious risks to their long-term value. Controversy and conflicting information about the extent of potential impacts create unwelcome uncertainty for both companies and their investors.
In March 2012, an investor coalition led by NEI Investments representing over US$ 1.6 trillion in AUM, sent letters to the governments of Canada and Alberta urging the effective and timely implementation of a world-class monitoring system for the oil sands region. The federal and provincial governments subsequently agreed to a joint monitoring program which will satisfy almost all of the key concerns that the investor group raised. As of February 2013 parts of the enhanced monitoring system, including new data gathering stations and methodologies, have already been implemented.

User Review - Heather - GoodreadsI used this during my years in college and it definitely was helpful. It provides a healthy overview of American history. Of course it does not go in depth, but that's because it is a textbook. It's a great reference and starting off point. Read full review

Many things can lead to, or cause, an arrhythmia, including:
When your heart beats, the electrical impulses that cause it to contract follow a precise pathway through your heart. Any interruption in these impulses can cause an arrhythmia.
Your heart is divided into four chambers. The chambers on each half of your heart form two adjoining pumps, with an upper chamber (atrium) and a lower chamber (ventricle).
During a heartbeat, the atria contract and fill the relaxed ventricles with blood. This contraction starts when the sinus node — a small group of cells in your right atrium — sends an electrical impulse causing your right and left atria to contract.
The impulse then travels to the center of your heart, to the atrioventricular node that lies on the pathway between your atria and your ventricles. From here, the impulse exits the atrioventricular node and travels through your ventricles.
In a healthy heart, this process usually goes smoothly, resulting in a normal resting heart rate of 60 to 100 beats a minute. Conditioned athletes at rest commonly have a heart rate less than 60 beats a minute because their hearts are so efficient.
Doctors classify arrhythmias not only by where they originate (atria or ventricles) but also by the speed of heart rate they cause:
Not all tachycardias or bradycardias mean you have heart disease. For example, during exercise it's normal to develop tachycardia as the heart speeds up to provide your tissues with more oxygen-rich blood.
Tachycardias originating in the atria include:
Tachycardias occurring in the ventricles include:
Most VT episodes occur in people with some form of heart-related problem, such as scars or damage within the ventricle muscle from coronary artery disease or a heart attack. Sometimes VT can last for 30 seconds or less (unsustained), and it might not cause any symptoms, although it causes inefficient heartbeats. Still, an unsustained VT may put you at risk of more-serious ventricular arrhythmias, such as longer lasting (sustained) VT. An episode of sustained VT is a medical emergency. Without prompt medical treatment, sustained ventricular tachycardia often worsens into ventricular fibrillation.
You can be born with a genetic mutation that puts you at risk of long QT syndrome. In addition, more than 50 medications, many of them common, may cause long QT syndrome. Some medical conditions, such as congenital heart defects, also may cause long QT syndrome.
Although a heart rate below 60 beats a minute while at rest is considered bradycardia, a low resting heart rate doesn't always signal a problem. If you're physically fit, you may have an efficient heart capable of pumping an adequate supply of blood with fewer than 60 beats a minute at rest. However, if you have a slow heart rate and your heart isn't pumping enough blood, you may have one of several bradycardias, including:
Although it often feels like a skipped heartbeat, a premature heartbeat is actually an extra beat. Even though you may feel an occasional premature beat, it seldom means you have a more serious problem. Still, a premature beat can trigger a longer lasting arrhythmia — especially in people with heart disease. Premature heartbeats are commonly caused by stimulants, such as caffeine from coffee, tea and soft drinks; over-the-counter cold remedies containing pseudoephedrine; and some asthma medications.

Even though Megan temporarily lost sight of the fact that half birthday cakes are of MY CHOOSING, (chocolate cake with chocolate frosting-of course HOMEMADE) I forgave her for mentioning she would have much rathered a yellow cake over a chocolate one.
That is exactly WHY I love half-birthday cakes. Not only are they simple and easy they are DELICIOUS. That can't be said for any of the "regular" birthday cakes I make.
I love, LOVE, LOVE chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.
I love, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Megan too. All 13 and a HALF years of her.

Nexus 5 said to be 'half the price' of the iPhone 5S
The hype and rumors we're hearing around the upcoming Nexus 5, expected from LG and Google later this month, is that it could instantly become the new Android phone to beat. But the latest whisperings hint that it could also give the iPhone 5S a run for its money when it comes to how much of your money you have to shell out for one.
TechRadar says a "source familiar with Google" has told the site that the successor to the popular but LTE-less Nexus 4 will ship in the latter part of October and cost "half the price" of the iPhone 5S.… Read more

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- After being sharply criticized for installing high-capacity Internet routers at smaller public facilities, state officials overseeing West Virginia's $126.3 million high-speed broadband expansion project have started to ship many of the devices to universities and community colleges, according to a report.
Nearly half of the 100 routers recently distributed from the state's router stockpile went to higher education institutions and affiliated research centers. Marshall University alone picked up 20 routers, with plans to install them primarily at medical facilities.
"Many institutions are afraid to accept these routers in fear of possible negative PR," said Jan Fox, Marshall's chief information officer, in an email to the Gazette. "What an even bigger tragedy to the [broadband project] issue if the locations that really need these devices will not accept the transfer."
In February, the West Virginia Legislative Auditor released a report that found state government officials wasted at least $7.9 million -- and up to $15 million -- by purchasing oversized Internet routers with federal stimulus funds.
The state installed most of the high-capacity routers at small libraries and rural schools, even though the router manufacturer, Cisco, recommends the devices for college campuses and large businesses. In response to the audit, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin ordered a review of more than 1,000 sites that received routers, which cost $22,600 each. That review is ongoing.
When the state first started distributing routers in late 2010, West Virginia universities and community colleges were left off the list of locations scheduled to receive the high-priced devices. But now the state is sending the routers to numerous higher education institutions, according to West Virginia's latest report to the federal agency funding the state's $126.3 million project.
Community and technical colleges, which became independent from their four-year college affiliates several years ago, recently received about two-dozen routers. The two-year colleges are installing the routers at their main campuses, and at branch campuses located at high schools.
"When they split from their colleges, they needed to completely rebuild their information technology infrastructure," said Dan O'Hanlon, executive director of WVNET, the state's Internet services provider. "Not only did most colleges ask for a couple of routers to replace old ones, almost every community and technical college needed all new routers for every site, and most have multiple locations."

Free standard shipping on full-size orders $50+
I use this eye cream in the morning, and it really transforms my tired puffy morning eyes into bright beautiful eyes
This does exactly what it says. My under eye area is very dry, which causes creases instantly after applying makeup. However, this product has completely fixed that! It is a small container (unfortunately), however, a little goes a long way. It will last you a while! BUY!! :)
I was quite pleased with this eye cream. It smells great and is very smooth. I felt it really improved the way my under eye make-up went on -- made it very smooth and felt moisturized.
I love all of my origins products but not sure if I see or feel anything after using this but sample is pretty small so maybe w a full size and longer use I would.
I love the orginis line and this eye cream is no exception. It is creamy and reflects light the moment you swipe it on. Your skin instantly plumps and lines are erased. This is definitely the best eye cream for $.
I received a small sample of this cream with one of my Birchbox.com purchases last month and absolutely loved this eye cream! It's slightly iridescent which gives a nice highlighting effect on the under-eye area and has a nice texture. A little goes a long way though. It seems this is a product with a high quality formula.
Ever feel like your face is sleepy? This cream seriously brightens your eyes. I get really bad allergies & feel puffy sometimes. This eye cream not only soothes but it makes your skin brighten. I didn't believe it would actually make my eyes feel brighter but I was mistaken. It does! Its great for in the mornings, I don't personally use it in the evenings. I will continue using this product.
I love washing my face and putting this on first thing in the morning. My eyes feel so fresh and awake. There is a nice citrus scent as well.
This eye cream awakens your eyes and makes them feel hydrated, alert and ready for the day. The texture is smooth and cool on the eyes.
This eye cream is sent from Heaven above!! It's honestly the best I've ever tried. It instantly makes me look bright eyed & bushy tailed :)

Price Drop!! 800RWHP Show/Track Widebody Turbo Lexus IS300 **PICS/VIDS** Inside!!
Hello All, My brother is looking to sell his pride and joy. He's open to trades. Please scroll down for his information and car details. Thanks, Julio. Name: Juan M. Phone Number: 347-865-7773 City/State/Zip: North NJ 07055 VIN: JTHBD192220051573 Mileage: 58,000 on Chassis, less than 4,000 on performance engine. Title: Clear and in hand Price : New Lowered Price $29,999 Contact info: PM, Email- icee0127 or 347-865-7773 I'm not to happy about doing this being that this car has been my pride and joy for the last 6 years and I have completely babied it and have had a lot of fun with it but at the same time I feel this car is a work of Art and needs to be out there getting exposed and someone having fun with it- where I no longer have the time nor the finances to do so Due to the recent purchase of my first real estate. This car has been collecting dust in my garage for about 8 months now so I think its definitely time for a new home =( This car has been very well put together with some of the Finest/Rarest Quality parts available, most of them imported from Japan and this car has only been worked on by the best of the best shops here in the united states. Multiple magazines confirmed they will give this car a front page article but it would need an Audio system. I have actually put together all the audio components, they just need to be installed and I can give the purchaser of the vehicle a really good deal on it. (brand new JL Audio amps,subs,component speakers,etc) If the car doesnt sell in a few months, then I might just finish off the project myself. I am finally bringing the car out some time this week.. For a brand new optima RED top battery which will match the engine bay, and some JDM Tein CS coilovers (yes, Straight from Japan with Japanese model numbers :P) . The last time this car was at the dyno @ PFS in Maryland, it made 702 RWHP but with the car I am including a complete NX nitrous oxide kit with the bottle custom painted to match the car, and once this system is connected this car will easily make 800 + RWHP. This is definitely a 10 second car as it is. I am including the entire Nitrous kit with the car free of charge. And will also be including a Pioneer Avic-D3 double din radio/DVD/navigation with a new GPS antenna and new iPod adapter. This vehicle is in immaculate condition in and out. After the car came out of the body shop from a drastic make over last September it has only been to two shows and only been driven twice So the paint/bodywork/interior/wheels/tires, etc on this car have LESS than 100 miles on them! The Odometer is currently reading 58k miles but The freshly built performance motor and 67mm DBB turbo have less than 4k miles, and as stated above most of the other parts have less than 100 miles (exterior/interior/wheels,paint,etc). I have not driven this card HARD in over 18 months and it was in a body shop for a long time so I definitely recommend this car gets re-tuned and routine maintenance performed before its driven hard again. I will give the seller a $1,000 credit at the point of sale for him to Re-tune the car and get any desired maintenance done. I have always used Mobil 1 fully synthetic oil every 1,500 miles. And this car has always been garage kept and hand washed. I will include all of the keys and manuals that the car came with. This car has a Clear, Clean Title in my possession, Free of any leans. Here is an up to date list of the modifications: PERFORMANCE: 702 RWHP, 642 RWTQ @ 26 psi. (racegas/pumpgas mix) 603 RWHP, 580 RWTQ @ 20psi.

IT Business Management Suite Standard Edition
VMware IT Business Management Suite Standard Edition provides the cost of a virtual machine and utilization of shared resources to help you better manage demand, budget, CapEx/OpEx; driving accountability over cloud resources to lower TCO. Optimize your costs and sourcing across internal virtual infrastructure / private cloud and public cloud.
Why Business Management for Cloud?
Cloud is accelerating choice for businesses – enabling them to source IT services from third parties instead of internal IT.
This change is forcing more and more IT Infrastructure teams to be transparent on the infrastructure services they offer. As a result, many infrastructure stakeholders are:
- challenged with determining the fully loaded cost of their infrastructure (costs, such as those associated with VMs, CPUs, memory, storage, network, and labor)
- questioned by the business on the cost of private vs. public cloud.
While the need to cost out infrastructure is increasing, the ability to do so quickly and easily is non-existent in most organizations. VMware can help address these challenges.
Business Management for Cloud
- Provides cost and usage visibility of virtual infrastructure / private cloud and public cloud with out of the box integration with VMware vCenter, vCloud Automation Center, and vCloud Director.
- Performs what-if analysis of virtual infrastructure / private cloud and public cloud, based on cost and utilization.
- Automatically prices the services available through self-service in a hybrid cloud.

Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Harvard Medical School, Associate Member, The Broad Institute
For some, this is a question answered with conviction in childhood. For others, it is a journey peppered with path-altering interjections. For me, one such career-altering influence was the ASH Fellow Scholar Award in Clinical Translational Research.
From a relatively young age, I contemplated two dichotomous paths — that of a physician or ballerina. At Duke University I completed the necessary pre-medical requirements and thought I would become a general pediatrician. A research career was not in my range of sight with no scientists in my family and no prior laboratory-based research experience. The earliest seed of change was planted when I applied to medical school. One of my interviewers was David Sabiston, then the chief of surgery at Duke University Medical Center. After the interview, he called me to follow up on our discussions and urged me to consider a physician-scientist career. I was shocked by his genuine interest in my career and intrigued by his suggestion.
As a student at Harvard Medical School, I found myself drawn to the field of hematology-oncology and, with the seed planted three years prior, embarked on a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Medical Student Research Fellowship. It was a year like no other. I worked in the laboratory of Dr. Gary Gilliland and managed to continue to pursue my passion for ballet, dancing with Ballet Theatre of Boston. I was mentored at the bench by Dr. Todd Golub, then a pediatric hematology-oncology postdoctoral fellow. Dr. Golub had recently cloned the ETV6 (TEL) gene in a TEL-PDGFRβ rearrangement in CMML. What then followed was his cloning of leukemia-related TEL-ABL and TEL-AML1 rearrangements and our discovery of frequent TEL abnormalities in children with ALL. I was hooked. When I was searching for laboratories, one of the medical students working in Dr. Gilliland's laboratory raved about his mentoring and the overall laboratory environment. She was most certainly correct. I could not have asked for a more outstanding environment in which to learn. This year was transformative. I often wonder where I would be today if it were not for the magic of that first year in the laboratory.
After completing a pediatric residency at the Children's Hospital Boston and the first year of a pediatric hematology-oncology fellowship at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Children's Hospital, I faced the challenge of selecting a laboratory. I gravitated toward Dr. Golub and the promise of genomics for cancer-related discovery. Since my training in Dr. Gilliland's laboratory, Dr. Golub had become a principal investigator at Dana-Farber and the director of the cancer program at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT. During my postdoctoral training, we developed an approach to small-molecule discovery using gene expression signatures and applied it to the identification of chemical modulators of AML differentiation. At this point, the idea of a physician-scientist career continued to be affirmed. However, the leap from postdoctoral fellow to independent investigator seemed to span a deep ravine.
What inspired the vault despite the possible plunge? For me, a critical issue was truly remarkable mentoring from both Drs. Gilliland and Golub. To this day, they continue as my two primary career mentors, even as my network of mentors has grown. A second was the outstanding support that I received at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Children's Hospital Boston, and the Broad Institute, where numerous individuals encouraged my efforts and guided my path toward a physician-scientist career. A third was the external validation that I could succeed in this path.
The ASH Fellow Scholar Award in Clinical Translational Research came at just the right time. This award was pivotal in my career transition. It affirmed, by an external group of senior scientists, a confidence in my ability to succeed in this path and welcomed me into the greater community of ASH. It funded some of the earliest efforts in my laboratory to develop gene-expression-based high-throughput screening and its application to leukemia. This work was recognized with the ASH Joanne Levy, MD, Memorial Award. (Joanne Levy was also an ASH Scholar Award recipient.) This award was an incredible honor and inspiration to continue my studies.
I currently lead a laboratory-based research effort at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and am an associate member of the Broad Institute. My research focuses on the integration of new genomic approaches for both target and small-molecule discovery for the acute leukemias and other malignancies affecting children. I also provide clinical care to children with cancer at Dana-Farber and Children's Hospital Boston. ASH is an ongoing lifeline for my work. It is a rich source of mentors and collaborators. I have also enjoyed the opportunity to develop ASH-related educational materials, to serve on abstract review and scientific committees, and to both chair sessions and share our work at the annual meeting.
One of the great joys of a physician-scientist career is the mentoring of trainees. As I develop my research program, I now have the pleasure of sharing in the excitement of my students and postdoctoral fellows as they win ASH-related training awards and present their work at the annual meeting. As a nucleus for fomenting collaboration, encouraging innovative science, connecting student with mentor, and empowering early investigators, ASH is a critical force in the future of hematology research.
Drs. Gary Gilliland and Todd Golub, Dr. Stegmaier's mentors, are also past ASH Scholar Award recipients. This program has had obvious impact on hundreds of careers. ASH is a 501(c) (3) charitable and educational organization. The Society seeks annual donations for several programs, one of which is the ASH Scholar Awards. If you would like to contribute to the ASH Scholar Awards program to support the next generation of promising hematology researchers, please visit www.hematology.organd click on "Make a Gift."

Testimony began Wednesday in trial of a lawsuit brought by a Charleston woman who claims she was fired by a West Side after-school program because of gender stereotyping.
Sam Sommerville, president of the board of directors at the Bob Burdette Center, was the first witness to testify in Kanawha Circuit Judge Carrie Webster's courtroom. He was called by the woman's attorney.
Sommerville discussed how the board came to hire Jessica Hudson, 34, of Charleston in the summer of 2011 and how it came to terminate her days later.
Hudson alleges board members fired her days after hiring her as executive director because they perceived her to be a lesbian.
Rick Brown, her attorney, is arguing she was fired because she doesn't fit the board's beliefs on how a woman should behave.
Board members say she was fired because she misrepresented herself in her resume, claiming she was a college graduate and in a leadership position in Charleston Young Professionals.
Dave Mincer, the lawyer who is representing the center, asked the state Supreme Court to dismiss the lawsuit because sexual orientation is not protected under the state Human Rights Act, but the high court denied his petition.
Questioned Wednesday by Brown, Sommerville said Hudson was the only candidate presented for further review for the position of executive director.
Sommerville said he received her resume before meeting with her at a board meeting and went over the document but did not check into her references. He said one of the things that stood out to him was her involvement with Charleston Young Professionals.
He said the search committee, which presented Hudson as its "best candidate," also had not checked her references but other board members said during the meeting they had done so. He didn't go into further detail.
Hudson was interviewed during a board meeting and asked about several different topics. Sommerville said he asked her about social activities and leadership roles in her time at Concord University but never asked if she had graduated from the school or held any degrees. No degrees were mentioned on her resume.
He said no one asked her directly if she belonged to a church but she told the board she had prayed about her interview with another person. He said the Rev. Ron Stoner told the board after the meeting that Hudson had told him she attended Witcher Baptist Church.
The board then decided to offer her the position, Sommerville said, pointing out that some members wanted to make the offer as soon as possible.
Hudson gave her current employer two weeks' notice and began coming to the center to learn the ins and outs of the job. Sommerville said he emailed a copy of her resume to the board and other staff members to familiarize them with Hudson.
"I was anxious to get started with a new director," Sommerville said.

In 2001, the USDA's Wildlife Services division began dropping edible bait blocks filled with vaccine along a roughly north-south line across east-central West Virginia. The idea was to prevent raccoon rabies from spreading westward from the mountains, where it had become established, to the state's western lowlands.
The vaccine had the desired effect. The line hasn't moved much since. And now, with the new vaccine, Chipman and other USDA officials believe it might be possible to eradicate the disease.
He based his optimism on last summer's test of the ONRAB vaccine in Monroe County.
"We chose Southern West Virginia for the test because it's in the center of our Oral Rabies Vaccine line," he said.
Researchers dropped 77,000 ONRAB-laced baits from aircraft, and set out an additional 1,500 ground baits. Chipman said "a good percentage" of raccoons captured afterwards had rabies antibodies in their system.
"We're really excited about that," he said.
As to the future, Chipman said the West Virginia ONRAB trial will likely be replicated, and that raccoon populations in areas that get the V-RG vaccine would be tested for rabies antibodies.
Since the USDA began experimenting with oral raccoon rabies vaccines in the mid-1980s, more than 8 million vaccine blocks have been dropped in 18 states. More than 42,000 raccoons have been sampled for rabies and its antibodies, and 161 raccoon population-density studies have been conducted.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 6,000 cases of rabies were reported for 2010 within the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Two humans died.
"The reason we want to eliminate raccoon rabies is to help ensure the public's health," Chipman said. "The U.S. has been free of canine rabies since 2007. Now we want to eliminate raccoon- and other wildlife-borne strains of the disease."
