Free standard shipping on full-size orders $50+
This cream is amazing, I found that it really smoothed the rough spots on my cheeks due to cold wind we've had this winter, great cream!
I received this as a sample and instantly took a liking to it. Since I have combination skin, it is important to me that my moisturizer hydrates without leaving an oily film or making my skin shiny. This product does exactly that! You only need a small amount, and it makes my skin extremely soft and hydrated. It also works great as a primer, my makeup goes on smoothly and stays in place during the day. Definitely buying once my sample runs out.
I have sensitive skin, and live in a dry climate. This cream is pretty amazing - no problems or reactions, and it feels great.
I've used it as a makeup remover and I LOVE it. It really gets eye make-up off without issue and doesn't irritate.
I had heard of products similar to this before trying the sample in my February Birchbox. When I read about it, I learned it can be used as an eye-makeup remover and a makeup primer. When I put it on my eyelids it felt AMAZING! It wipes off so smoothly and clean. There are no harsh smells and it felt so great. No burning whatsoever like some other eye creams can leave. I will definitely be ordering this production again.
I'm strictly a Clinique moisturizer user but for the price this works just as good if not better. I have really dry skin and this lasts all day unlike Clinique which I always have to reapply later in the day
This is the best facial moisturizer I've ever had. I used the sample for three weeks and I could visibly and physically tell a difference in my skin. I was breaking out less, my skin was brighter, and unbelievably soft. A little bit goes a long way so don't let the price tag scare you away as this will make you skin the healthiest (and happiest) you've seen it in months!
I thought this sample in my birchbox was nice but its not something I would particularly purchase. I would rather stick with Cliniques dramatically different moisturizing gel.
I received a sample of this cream in my December BB and I just LOOOOOVE it. The texture is just so creamy, not oily at all, fast absorbing, and leaves your skin feeling smooth. I have oil/dry skin and I feel like it balanced out my skin. I would put the cream on before applying my makeup and it moisturized my skin very so my makeup went on perfect and stayed in place. Some creams make my makeup melt. Not this one. Great product <3
This product is great for dead winter skin and especially for travel because you can use it for so many purposes. I recently took this with me on a 3 day trip and reduced my products from 4 to 1. A great cleanser, eye cream, all over lotion that's great to utilize on your elbows and calluses. This is one of the best products Birchbox has introduced me to!

Summer 2013 (Visiting) Non-Rutgers Student Registration Information
Rutgers School of Law–Newark is pleased to offer a variety of upper-level courses for law students who have completed the first-year program or its equivalent at an ABA-accredited law school. These classes, which are offered in the evening hours in order to permit you to experience clerkship, internship and other summer employment opportunities in the New York metropolitan area while still earning credit toward graduation, are compressed into an eight-week term that should satisfy any residency requirements your home law school imposes.
CLASSES, EXAMINATION DATES: All classes run from Monday, May 20th through Tuesday, July 16, 2013, except Legislative Research, a four-day intensive course which begins on May 13th and ends on Thursday, July 25, 2013. Examinations are scheduled for July 18, 22 or 25, 2013. Examinations for all courses begin at 5:30 pm in rooms to be announced.
LOCATION: Rutgers School of Law–Newark is located at 123 Washington Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102. It is convenient to major highways, Pennsylvania Railroad Station, and the Broad Street Railroad Station. A free shuttle bus runs from 4:30 pm to 11:00 pm Mondays through Friday between various points on the Rutgers–Newark Campus and the railroad stations.
ELIGIBILITY: The Summer Session is open to all law students matriculated at any ABA-accredited law school. A student from a school other than Rutgers School of Law–Newark must submit a letter from that law school certifying that the student is in good standing. (This includes students of Rutgers School of Law–Camden.)
HOW TO ENROLL AND REGISTER: Enrollment in any one or more of the classes offered this summer is done in three steps.
First, you must complete and return the Sign-in Registration Form (which can be downloaded by clicking here), and you must submit a letter of good standing from the Dean or Registrar of your Law School. Both can be submitted by fax directed to Mildred Perez at 973-353-1717, or electronically by scanning and attaching the documents to an e-mail addressed to firstname.lastname@example.com, or you can snail-mail the documents to Mildred Perez at Rutgers School of Law–Newark, 123 Washington Street, Newark, NJ 07102. Shortly after we get these forms, you will receive an e-mail providing you with two identification numbers necessary for registration (a Rutgers University ID, or "RUID," and a Personal Access Code, "PAC"), and you will be notified that you can now proceed to the online registration pages to register.
The next step is to select your classes and pay your term bill for the classes you select. The information you need to complete this process is found at the "General Registration Instructions, Summer 2013" link, which you can open by clicking here. You will need the Summer Session Class Schedule (which you can navigate to and view by clicking here), which shows the meeting times, instructors and room assignments for all classes, and also provides the course numbers and index numbers you will need when registering online. (You can have both the Class Schedule window and the Registration window open, and can toggle between them as you register. You can also navigate from the Class Schedule to the Summer Course Description page, to read about the classes that may interest you. Finally, after you have completed the registration protocol, you must go to the Bursar webpage, and view your account. The tuition and fees will appear in your account immediately upon registration as a balance due, and you must then pay that amount electronically, either by credit card or by electronic transfer from your bank account. [1]
Note: Registration is not complete until all charges are paid; failure to pay any outstanding balance will result in deregistration from your classes.
NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS: The fee schedule for students who have been domiciled in New Jersey for one year or longer prior to May 31, 2013 is:
Summer Session Student Fee — $151.25
Tuition per credit for law school courses — $948.00
OUT-OF-STATE RESIDENTS: The fee schedule for students who have not been domiciled in New Jersey for one full year prior to May 31, 2013 is:
Summer Session Student Fee — $151.25
Tuition per credit for law school courses — $1,437.00
Once the Summer session begins, a student may withdraw from a course or seminar by submitting a written notice, on the "Drop" form available from Dean Linda Garbaccio. A grade of "W" will be entered on the record in every case. After the start of the Summer session, a 50% refund of tuition will be given if a course is dropped during the first week (five business days) of Summer session classes (May 17th for Legal Research and Writing and May 24th for all other courses); thereafter, no refunds will be given.
In an examination course, withdrawals will be permitted until the day of the examination prior to the start of the actual examination.
In a seminar or non-examination course, withdrawals will be permitted until the final official meeting of the class and provided that the instructor consents to the withdrawal. A grade of "F" will be entered as the final grade for a student who does not sit for an examination (unless officially excused by the Dean's Office) or who does not complete the course or seminar work when required by the instructor.
PLANNING YOUR CLASSES: It is strongly advised that you discuss your planned curriculum at Rutgers School of Law–Newark with your Dean or Registrar, to insure that credits undertaken will be transferred and applied toward graduation. However, to aid you and your dean in your course selection, we provide the following guidelines, as not all law schools offer the same curriculum in the first year of study. Note: visiting students are not eligible to enroll in the Unscheduled Offerings (Independent Research, Judicial Externship, etc.), nor in Legal Research and Writing II, even though they appear on the list of course offerings.

[1] The deadline for payment of the term bill is April 19, 2013. Any registration during the Late Registration must be done in person and the term bill must be paid on the day of Registration. Any bill paid during the Late Registration Period will be assessed a $50 Late Fee. In addition, a fee of $60 is charged for any check which is not honored for payment. Non-payment of your term bill does not constitute withdrawal, and does not excuse you from payment. (See Procedures for Withdrawal at the conclusion of the "General Registration Instructions, Summer 2013"). There is a 2.5% charge for payment by credit card.

Well I'm jealous. We called yesterday to try and get HomeFusion installed and were told no. They said its because they "can't guarantee a consistent connection." Even though they acknowledge we have 4G in our area and even though my Xoom tablet with 4G has a consistent connection, even in our basement.
Thats a bit pricey but I do love the ping.
Yup i got it i see 38mbps d/ 16 up. pings in 50's to 60's.
I assure you....you ARE NOT getting those speeds off a HomeFusion LTE antenna!!!!!
wanna bet ?
The device/tower is not capable.Running 30sec speedtest will always inflate the end results!BUT...if you thinking you're getting that speed...well, go right ahead and brag! :->
Yes it is even on testmy.net i seen people get 68 down.

Oh, OH -- Spirit Fingers! Transformer Hands!
This is a video of a couple kids using their webcam's mirror effect to make Transformer shadow puppets. Minus the shadows. Granted it sounds stupid as hell but they actually do a surprisingly good job and I think I made out at least two recognizable faces. Plus a pig's head. Totally saw a talking pig's head.

Today's announcement in the journal "Science" of an alleged new hominid species—supposedly an evolutionary transition between modern humans and an ape-like ancestor—is drawing the attention of the world's media.1
"Sediba" is the new designation issued by a group of paleontologists of an Australopithecine. "Sediba" is actually the fossil remains of a few individuals (including an almost-complete skeleton) that were found in South Africa. As creatures that possessed a small brain, they supposedly date back to almost two million years.
What were the conditions in which the bones were preserved? Do some secular scientists already disagree about Sediba's classification—whether this fossil really should be classified (like the famous "Lucy") in the genus Australopithecus, or perhaps be better designated as Homo instead?
Interestingly, some media outlets are reporting that the story of human evolution now has to be redrawn.2 That observation begs the question: why has so much been so wrong in the evolutionists' recounting of their story of human evolution, and now it has to be redrawn? Will some science textbooks be seen as obsolete and have to be tossed?
We'll have more answers on Saturday morning, as over the next few hours, AiG will be looking more carefully into the research papers on "Sediba" (the print magazine was released earlier today, Friday). As we offer something of a preliminary comment on Saturday, we should note that we do not have access to the actual bones; furthermore, only one group of scientists (to our knowledge) has studied them, and who knows how other paleontologists will interpret the bones once they are allowed to examine them?
As creationists, we can be confident of one thing: the Creator God created humans distinct from all animals, and we were made in His image and not from an ape-like creature (Genesis 1). By the way, that truth will be presented in a striking new exhibit inside our Creation Museum to be unveiled in a few weeks.

Note also the opening line of a "Daily Mail" (UK) article: "The discovery of a 'missing link' between man and apes could revolutionise our understanding of how we evolved, scientists say …" (see Scientists discover "missing link between man and apes").

Cranes and Bats

The former clutter up the Austin skyline, circling as the condos rise. The latter roost with their pups under the Congress Avenue Bridge, coming out at twilight to feed. There's music in the air, too. It spills out of bars like The Continental Club. We happened to be walking past it last week. A sign in the window read, "James McMurtry." A guy in the doorway said, "Seven bucks." The Austin City Limits Festival was still more than a day away, but the town was already starting to earn its reputation as the live music capital of the world.
The sound guy took the stage first, stomach and cigarette hanging out, and started messing around on a guitar. The sound hit like grease on a griddle. He fiddled with the amp a bit, played some more, then wandered off. When he returned, he brought a drummer, bassist and another guitar player with him, and proceeded to kick-off a blistering opening set. It was Jon Dee Graham, a familiar name to the locals but a stranger to me. It was a helluva introduction. I'm trying to remember if I ever saw such a happy performer. The guy just beamed the whole time, lighting up over every drum fill and bass lick. "Something very wonderful is gonna happen," Jon promised.
The glow from that set lingered as James McMurtry climbed the steps, his face pale and cool, his songs dark and deep. For the next hour or two, we met characters that wouldn't be out of place in his dad Larry's novels. Ruby and Carlos, for example. Lovers of horses and music and each other, they hobble along for years after a break-up trying to stay off that "slippery slope."
The next night found us at Threadgill's, another local institution and the place where a young singer named Janis Joplin developed her sound. They have a drink named after her: Southern Comfort and Jack Daniels on the rocks. According to the menu it's "as soft as she ever got." Their website has an hour-long NPR program from 2003 documenting the birth of the Austin music scene.
I'll share memories of Day 1 of the ACL fest in the next post. These were the choices...

Phytolean (vol 15.13)
Lose those last 5-10 pounds and keep them off . . . GUARANTEED!
By Hammer NutritionIf you are like so many athletes who train 6-12 hours a week or more, yet still have some extra weight around your belly/midsection/thighs that just doesn't seem to go away, we created Phytolean just for you. Think about the benefits, both aesthetic and performance-wise, of shedding those last few pounds . . . you get faster, climbing is easier, and PR's are almost a given.
The truth is that this extra weight is coming from excess consumption of starchy carbohyrdates, primarily those eaten at lunch and dinner. Phytolean is the answer. It will help you lose those last pounds of excess adipose tissue (read: fat) by simply taking 1-2 capsules before lunch and dinner.
Considering how much money athletes spend to shave off a few grams of weight from their bike, running shoes, or other equipment - all in the hopes of going faster - Phytolean is an undeniably more effective and cost-saving way of dropping significant amounts of performance-inhibiting weight. We're talking pounds, not just a few measly grams! The Phytolean formula is safe, natural, and plant-based. Unlike weight-loss products that offer unrealistic promises and are usually filled with stimulants, we guarantee that Phytolean will work for you. Not "may" work, WILL work. Phytolean is that effective!
The two main ingredients, described in the next section, are well documented in their ability to block the absorption of starch and to reduce adipose tissue volume. To date, everyone who has tested Phytolean has experienced significant benefits in the area of achieving their desired weight goals. Even better, continued use of Phytolean will help you keep that weight off for good. Of course, in order to achieve weight-loss goals and stay at your desired weight, you have to pay attention to your diet, eating as healthy as possible, and maintaining a regular exercise regimen. To accrue maximum benefits while using Phytolean, you'll need to do the same. Add to that some reductions to your starch intake in the evening and you'll be leaning down like never before.
In a nutshell, Phytolean:
- Helps to increase your body's fat-burning potential
- Aids in reducing fat absorption
- Blocks the digestion and absorption of starchy carbohydrates
All of these help you to lose weight, maintain ideal blood sugar levels, and achieve optimal body composition without any undesirable side effects that can occur from stimulant-based weight-loss products. If you're sick of the hype and ready for real results, it's time to put Phytolean to the test. It's so easy to use - two capsules 30 minutes prior to a high-carbohydrate meal - and we guarantee that you will be VERY pleased with the results!
The Phytolean formula and how it will work for you
A two-capsule dosage of Phytolean contains the following ingredients:
400 mg of Razberi-K® raspberry ketone - This is a major aromatic found in red raspberries that helps with weight reduction through two mechanisms:
1. Enhancing the breakdown ("burning") of fat - The chemical structure of raspberry ketone is similar to the structures of capsaicin and synephrine, two compounds known to exert anti-obesity actions and alter fat metabolism in favor of fat weight loss. Raspberry ketone increases a process known as norepinephrine-induced lipolysis. Additionally, raspberry ketone supplementation appears to result in a higher secretion of the hormone adiponectin. Both of these effects - increased norepinephrine-induced lypolsis and higher levels of adiponectin - enhance fat metabolism.
2. Decreased fat absorption and storage - Raspberry ketone assists in inhibiting a primary step in the absorption of fat, trioleoylglycerol hydrolysis. Additionally, an increase in adiponectin not only results in increased metabolism of fat, it also is associated with a decrease in fat storage.
1,000 mg of Fabenol Max™ Phaseolus vulgaris L. - The extract from the white kidney bean is commonly referred to as a "starch blocker" or "carbohydrate blocker." This "blocking" effect is due to its ability to reduce the activity of an enzyme known as alpha amylase, which is involved in starch breakdown and sugar absorption. When less alpha amylase enzyme is available, there is a greater potential for more carbohydrates (primarily starchy carbohydrates) to be excreted from the body instead of being assimilated into sugars and stored as body fat. This effect may also support healthy blood sugar levels.

Why this stick isn't more well known, I don't know. I have savored this tasty little vitola every few months or so for about a year and I have to say that it is boxworthy. Starts with a Pepin-like blast and gets so tasty from the first 3rd. Had 2 or so bad sticks but hey, it always deserves another try. My reward for keeping my cool each month.

He's got an island in the river delta, the biggest around, with a pond in the middle brimming with tasty labyrinthodont polliwogs. He is not impressed with your dull, peach sail, and you're having second thoughts about poaching his polliwogs as he circles and struts, flicking his head and tail menacingly. Better to keep moving on.

The Great High Road Across Stone Cloud
Cut from the living stone of the island's namesake massif, the Great High Road has been a trade route in ages of reason, and the site of Stone Cloud's most powerful apparitions during ages of mysticism. Our traveler sees this place at the terminator between reason and mysticism. Soon, glasprites will be seen with regularity, capering and marching across the ancient stone blocks and through the fragmented hallways. What was saved from the libraries of the previous age recorded sensations that defied description and left travelers of the road entranced while glasprites gathered about them. Some were said to have never moved again from their reverie, becoming encased in living stone. It is a treacherous path for a student of reason, as zealous mystics seek a more favored audience with these avatars of Stone Cloud; once legendary, then scientific curiosities, and now very real portents of civilization's turning.

Wrinkly Greasy Inostrancevia
Inostrancevia was a genus of gorgonopsid, living in what is now Siberia during the Permian period. This area was a hot, dry desert during this time. Close relatives of the ancestors of all mammals, gorgonopsids very likely had leathery, glandular skin, and also hair, though likely not in the role of thermoregulation. Gorgonopsids were fox- to lion-sized carnivores with well-developed nasal turbinates, indicating an active hunting lifestyle, though not necessarily a well-developed sense of smell. They did have a vomeronasal organ, though, and would have hunted by scent much like a monitor lizard. Inostrancevia was the biggest known, with a skull about two feet in length. Here, I've hypothesized a role for an early wet nose, coupled with ancestral hair follicles acting in a possible precursor role of guards/wicks for mucus and sebaceous glands. In my hypothetical restoration, mucus-wicking hairs poking out of the ancestral philtrum (cleft upper lip of modern mammals, less developed here and hypothetically comprising two parallel grooves) would collect airborne scents, which are collected by a flick of the tongue and passed across the vomeronasal organ to be detected. Glandular secretions of oily, waxy sebum (or a related substance) would have kept skin moist and pliable where flexibility was needed more than the toughness of cornified, callused skin. Fur was unlikely at this time, becoming more useful to later relatives in nocturnal habits as therapsids in general became marginalized by the upstart archosaurs (dinosaurs and kin).

This looks to be another story setting; kinda feudal or stratified-collectivist world. The vehicles are ballistic suborbital long-range personal transports, using gravistat refractors (this is total B.S.) and aero/magnetodynamic force fields. They fall upward, arcing back down through a special gravity field that only interacts with a specific device in the vehicle. In effect, the special gravity field is like having the center of the planet wherever it's needed, about 200km up, to yo-yo up and down like a rock dropped down a hole through the planet. When they come back down, they decelerate until the device is turned off. Landing is achieved by dialing down the special gravity refractor's attunement, which can allow anything from reducing weight for ground handling, to a steady hover, to active terrain-following in horizontal movement (this is only possible with highly sophisticated and expensive craft).

Greater cooperation within the European Union has resulted in new rules to make the sale of funds more harmonious between different member states.
Twenty-five years ago UCITS legislation came into force with the aim of creating greater harmonisation between different European Union countries.Tim Gardner from Signet
The costs and requirements of establishing a UCITS fund can vary enormously depending on the country, according to executives and consultants within the industry.
Bill Blackwell, chief operating officer and principal consultant of London-based consultants Carne Global Financial Services, says: "Legal and translation costs associated with passporting tend to be a big issue. These costs and requirements differ depending on which jurisdiction you are in. Each regulator closely monitors those entries offering financial products in their domicile.
"Registration is performed on a country by country basis. It is then overlaid by local requirements which also vary. The fund documents often need to be in the language of that jurisdiction and translation costs are one of the largest costs associated with passporting.

Mid 60's WOW!!
Oil pressure hose.
General Comments:
63 1/2 Avanti Low one owner miles when I bought. Third Avanti I have owned. Nothing to say other than it is a time capsule just as it was when new. Starts and runs "like a watch".
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
Review Date: 23rd December, 2008
7th Sep 2010, 17:09
It runs like a Studebaker. That's what you say. Here it comes, there it goes. They really don't make cars like the Avanti anymore. And the issue of "Would I buy another car from Studebaker?" is irrelevant since Studebaker exited the car making business over 30 years ago.

FoodScience of Vermont Calcium -- 1200 mg - 60 Gelatin Capsules
Great Purchase
I have to take calcium and this is so much better & less expensive than what I was buying.
October 21, 2011
This is a kinder, more gentler calcium pill!
I'm thrilled with this product! Mainly because the pills have some sort of soft plastic outside which helps make it easier to swallow and more simple to slide down your throat-won't get stuck! I don't know about you but I've tried another brand calcium pills and they made me so constipated and had stomach pain but not with these!I've had no discomfort with metabolization of product! Pill is a little large but take it from someone with Esophagitis-me-I've had no problems or difficulties swallowing it at all! Try this pill and you'll love it too!

There are two major types of congenital adrenal hyperplasia:
The most obvious sign of classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia in girls is often abnormal-appearing genitals that look more male than female, which may include an enlarged clitoris — a condition called ambiguous external genitalia. Other signs and symptoms in girls also reflect exposure to higher levels of male sex hormones (androgens) while in the womb.
The condition is not typically as easily seen in baby boys, although some affected male infants have an enlarged penis.
Signs and symptoms of classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia in infants include:
Signs and symptoms of classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia in children and adults include:
This form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia is milder and usually becomes evident in late childhood or early adulthood.
Signs and symptoms are typically most apparent in adolescent girls and women and often include:
In both females and males, signs and symptoms of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia also may include:
Contact your child's pediatrician if your child has signs and symptoms that seem to suggest congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Also, if you're pregnant and may be in a high-risk group for congenital adrenal hyperplasia because of your own medical history or your ethnicity, ask your doctor about genetic counseling. Your doctor can also discuss with you possible treatment of your fetus before birth (prenatal treatment).

In a world with so many religions - why Jesus? In his most important work to date, apologetics scholar and popular speaker Ravi Zacharias shows how the blueprint for life and death itself is found in a true understanding of Jesus. With a simple yet penetrating style, Zacharias uses rich illustrations to celebrate the power of Jesus Christ to transform lives. Jesus Among Other Gods contrasts the truth of Jesus with founders of Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, strengthening believers and compelling them to share their faith with our post-modern world. Taken from the book of John.

Hosts finish with win; Switzerland, Japan need one more game
STOCKHOLM Last years semi-finalists met in a rematch, this time for fifth place. The host team, Sweden, had recovered from their bitter OT loss to Finland in the quarterfinal, and was determined to win their last game of the tournament. The final score was 2-0 for Sweden.Michelle Lowenhielm scored Swedens both goals and Elin Moberg recorded a shutout in her first start of the tournament.We were a little disappointed that we didnt make the medal round, but it was close, and Finlands a good team, our games have always been good and close, said Team Sweden head coach Henrik Cedergren.Sweden pressured German defencemen and got off to a great start in the game as Lowenhielm gave her team a 1-0 lead just 1:27 into the game. She shot the puck to the net from an awkward angle, and while Nadja Kruber in Germanys goal made the initial save, the puck found its way to the back of the net off her pad.Another proof of Swedens determination in the game was seen at the end of the period when Lowenhielm fired a slap shot from the slot with just seconds remaining and the puck hit the net just as the buzzer went off, just fractions of a second before full time.Germany got back into the game in the second period, thanks to their three power-play opportunities, but Moberg turned away all nine shots she faced in the periods, making several high-quality saves along the way. In the third, Germany outshot Sweden 9-6, and had several good scoring chances, but again, they failed to unlock Moberg. Sweden finishes fifth, Germany sixth, a step down for both teams that made it to the semi-final last year. Maybe a round-robin and then semi-finals and a final would be a better and fair system. Of course, that would add games to the tournament, said Cedergren.Switzerland - Japan, 1-5Japan refused to go down quietly, and instead, takes the relegation round best-of-three series to full three games, thanks to todays 5-1 win over Switzerland. Japan got five goals from five different players, and solid goaltending from Ai Tokoro, making her first appearance in the tournament.Switzerland took a hold of the spot in the top division with Jana Biglers first period goal, but first Momoka Odaira tied the game halfway through the game, and then Japan added two power-play goals to make it a two-goal game after two periods.Rina Takeda got the game winning goal at 14:41, and Runa Moritake scored her second goal of the tournament in the last second of play in the period. Switzerland got another penalty early in the third period, and while Japan didnt manage to score on the powerplay, Nodoka Abe made it 4-1 jus 20 seconds after Nicole Schneider had returned to the ice. Runa Maritake collected her second point of the game with an assist to Mai Moriis 5-1 goal with 4:34 remaining in the game. Tokoro made 29 saves in the game. The third game of the relegation round series will be played on Saturday. RISTO PAKARINEN

In the not-too-distant past, people relied on the traveling tinsmith – also referred to as a "tinker" – to cut and repair most anything made of metal. But today DIYers have access to numerous tools, including metal snips, that allow us to do the cutting ourselves. Granted, cutting metal by hand with snips can be tricky. Workpieces can be stiff and difficult to maneuver, the edges you create during the cutting process are sharp, and the snips can often get in the way while you're cutting. But take heart: By learning about different types of snips and practicing a few basic cutting techniques, you can quickly master working with sheet metal and duct work. Click here to download this complete article with photos as a pdf. Snips of all sorts A hundred years ago, snips resembled extremely beefy scissors forged from steel. They got the job done, but it took a lot of brute hand strength to initiate and complete the cut. Thanks to revised handle and blade designs, today's snips make cutting far easier. Because it can be difficult to create a curved cut in stiff metal, snips are specially designed to make the task easier, and a color-code system lets you know what type of cut the snip is built for (see photo, p. xx): • Green — cuts clockwise curves • Red — cuts counterclockwise curves • Yellow — cuts straight lines Modern snips incorporate an additional pivot point into the levering action. These cutters (referred to as compound snips) drastically magnify your gripping force and allow you to cut 16-gauge sheet metal with ease (see photo, p. xx). Compound snips (also known as aviation snips) come in two basic handle types: offset and straight. With offset snips, the cutting blades are positioned below the handle so your hand is above and away from the workpiece (see photo, p. xx). Straight-handle snips have blades that are in line with the handles. Metal Snip Cutting techniques Now that you know which snips to use based on the direction of your cut, a few basic techniques will help you to conquer almost any sheet-metal-cutting task. • Straight cuts: Long straight cuts are best made with compound offset snips. Open and close the jaws of the snips completely to maximize the cut length. As you cut, one side of the sheet metal will tend to ride up and over the lower jaw. Roll this piece back and to the side as you go to keep it from getting in the way of your hand or from jamming the snips (see photo, p. xx). • Curved cuts: Depending on the access you have to the workpiece, you'll often need to use a combination of both left- and right-cutting snips to cut curves (see photo, p. xx). If obstructions in a work area prevent you from completing a cut with one pair of snips, switch to the other and try cutting from the opposite direction. • Cuts in ductwork: When cutting round ductwork, there are a few tricks to keep in mind. If you need to make a cut in the middle of the duct, mark and cut the hole before snapping the ductwork together. Punch a starter hole into which you can insert the snips, and slowly cut along the line (see photo, p. xx). If your cut reaches the duct's thick locking seam, position the metal deep into the jaws before applying pressure. If, however, you only need to trim a bit from the end of a round duct that's already snapped together, use curve-cutting snips. The next time you need to trim some light-gauge metal, grab your trusty snips and go to it. With a little practice and the right tools, you'll be able to cut metal almost as easily as paper.

How to Make Homemade Ice Cream
When temperatures climb and the daylight hours stretch long into the evening, you can bet the "lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer" are here. And what better way to mark the most relaxing part of the year than to break out the ice cream maker and learn how to make homemade ice cream? Different than store bought varieties, homemade ice cream tends to have a softer consistency. It's also cheaper per serving, allows you the opportunity to use purer ingredients (and leave out preservatives or other additives) and offers great potential for experimenting with flavors and add-ins.While making homemade ice cream involves a greater investment of time than simply opening a carton from your grocer's freezer, the experience of making this timeless, old-fashioned dessert from scratch is a treat in and of itself.
Hi! It's Miranda with recipe.com and today we are making
something sweet indeed in the kitchen, Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream,
and I promised once you see how easy it is
and so delicious to make your own homemade ice cream,
you will not be going back to store-bought anytime soon.
So, let's get started. I have our ingredients all laid
out here. We're going to use 3 cups of heavy
whipping cream, 2 cups of half and half or light
cream-- I'm using half and half today, 1 (14 ounce)
can of sweetened condensed milk, which has been chilled and
4 teaspoons of vanilla extract. So really simple, we're just
going to mix those together in a large bowl here.
Now please note, if you want it to turn this
into chocolate ice cream, at this point you would just
add 1 cup of chocolate-flavored syrup, so you could certainly
switch them that way. Just note that it won't harden
as much as this will and, you know, you'll have
that extra liquid so it will take longer. It might
be a little bit more soft than this vanilla ice
cream would. Now, this condensed milk is almost like-- almost
like [unk], so you really want to have something to
help move it out, perfect. So, were just gonna mix
this together and after this is all combined, I'm going
to pour it into my ice cream maker [unk] canister.
So, depending upon the type that you'll use whether you're
using an old fashioned traditional ice cream maker where you
actually turn it yourself which is a lot of fun
or if you are using electric one like I have,
which we are going to pour into the canister as
soon as this is all mixed. Oh, how fun is
this. Okay, so all my ice cream mixture is in
my little ice cream maker. Mine call for to actually
be on as I put it in, so just make
sure you read your manufacturing instruction before doing it so
you follow all the instructions. Now, this recipe makes enough
to fit in like a 4 to 5 quarts ice
cream maker. It fit perfectly for me. If for some
reason yours is a little bit smaller, you can just
pour as one later on. So, I'm going to let
this continue stirring and cheering and making. It will be
anywhere between 5 and 30 minutes until it gets that
nice custardy consistency. The ice cream maker-- any ice cream
maker like a traditional kind as well will not make
that hard store-bought consistency that we're used to. To do
that, we're going to have to do an additional step
which is called ripening. You don't have to do that
but if you want that nice hard, you know, Baskin-Robbins
consistency, you are going to need to ripen it. For
this because we have an insulated canister, once I'm finished
with this, I'll remove the ice cream from the canister,
put it in a separate freezer-safe container. Make sure it's
completely air tight and I will put it in a
freezer for about 4 hours until it's nice and hard.
Okay, so I'm just gonna let this keep turning and
we will come back when it got that nice, custardy
consistency and ready for ripening. Okay, so it's been about
30 minutes and my ice cream is beautiful, perfect, custardy,
delicious. So, check out this consistency. So, this is what
it's gonna look like and you're welcome to serve it
this way if you want to kind of like old
fashioned, the old school unripened ice cream. But we're gonna
take a new step further and really hardened it up,
so I've turned it off. Let's take this out. This
is called the dasher, extra bonus point for later. That
thing out for here and we're just gonna pour this
now into the airtight, freezer-safe container because I'm gonna ripen
it. So, I'm just gonna pour it in here and
this is going to ripen in the freezer. Get that
cover on and in it goes into the freezer for
about 4 hours until we are ready to eat our
Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream. Okay, so it's been 4 hours.
Our ice cream has been ripening. Did you know that
ice cream could even do such a thing? So, check
out how beautiful and delicious it looks. Look at that.
It's fluffy, it's soft but perfectly hardened, so sugary delicious.
I'm gonna wait until I'm off camera to gobble this
up but it's ready now. You can serve it, top
it with your favorite ice cream topping, maybe a little
bit of hot fudge, some strawberry sauce or by itself
frankly whatever you eat this with. It's going to be
totally delicious and an absolute crowd pleaser and there you
have it. Now, you know how to make Homemade Vanilla
Ice Cream. Thanks for watching and for more great recipes
and savings, visit us at recipe.com.
What You'll Need
- 3 cups whipping cream
- 2 cups half-and-half or light cream
- 1 14 ounce can (1-1/4 cups) sweetened condensed milk, chilled
- 4 teaspoons vanilla
Step By Step
In a large bowl, combine whipping cream, half-and-half, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla.
Pour cream mixture into the freezer can of a 4- to 5-quart ice cream freezer. Add the dasher; cover with the freezer can lid. Freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Ripen* 4 hours. (Ice cream will become quite firm during ripening).
Chocolate Ice Cream:
Prepare Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream, except stir 1 cup chocolate-flavored syrup into ice cream mixture before freezing (chocolate variation will be a little softer set after ripening than the vanilla).
Ripening or hardening homemade ice cream isn't a requirement, but it improves the texture and helps to keep them from melting too quickly during eating.
To ripen in a traditional-style ice cream freezer, after churning, remove the lid and dasher and cover the top of the freezer can with waxed paper or foil. Plug the hole in the lid with a small piece of cloth; replace the lid. Pack the outer freezer bucket with enough ice and rock salt to cover the top of the freezer (use 4 cups ice to 1 cup salt). Ripen about 4 hours.
When using an ice cream freezer with an insulated freezer bowl, transfer the ice cream to a covered freezer-proof container and ripen in your refrigerator freezer about 4 hours (or check the manufacturer's recommendations).
Ice-cream making is a particularly fun activity to do with young children, who often are in awe of the process of how to make homemade ice cream. Remember, you're not just making ice cream, but treasured childhood memories, as well.

This information has been co-published by Skills for Care and the Department for Education.
The Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) helps newly qualified social workers (NQSWs) to develop their skills, knowledge and capability and strengthen their professional confidence. It provides them with access to regular and focused support during their first year of employment.
The ASYE is open to NQSWs in the private and voluntary sectors, as well as the statutory sector. It is based on the Professional Capabilities Framework (PCF) for social work and is certificated by the College of Social Work (TCSW).
Skills for Care are working in partnership with the Department for Education to support the implementation of the ASYE. We have produced information and resources which are linked to the PCF as well as a mini guide to the ASYE for NQSWs and a briefing letter for students.
There are ASYE FAQs. An evaluation report on the implementation of the ASYE in adult services is available.
More information:
This information is relevant to employers of social workers in all sectors.
The government has announced funding of £2000 for each newly qualified social worker (NQSW) participating in the ASYE programme in 2013/14. This funding will assist employers of NQSWs to:
Adult services
Click here to access funding for adult services.
Funding for adult services is provided via the Skills for Care e-tendering and funding portal. To access this funding you must register NQSWs who are providing adult services whilst undertaking the ASYE in 2013/14.
If you have previously registered an NQSW for the ASYE via the e-tendering and funding portal, you will have an existing account. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you are unsure of your log-in details.
Please note: only one ASYE application should be created per employer. Having one unique application allows you to register multiple NQSWs, adding further NQSWs at a later date.
Click here for guidance on completing the registration process.
Children's services
Funding information for children's services is provided by the Department for Education. Click here for more information.
Employer transition fund (ETF)
The Employer Transition Fund helps employers of social workers in adult services to implement and embed the ASYE through work in partnership to support and assess NQSWs, and develop supervisors and assessors.
This information is relevant to employers, managers, supervisors and assessors and NQSWs.
Support and assessment of newly qualified social workers (NQSWs) during the ASYE should be provided by their employer. NQSWs need time to develop and employers support this through supervision, workload management, a professional development plan and time for development. This is outlined in The social work ASYE mini-guide for NQSWs.
Learning agreement
A learning agreement helps employers to plan and set out the support and assessment for the individual NQSW. The documents below will help employers to create and use learning agreements:
Holistic assessment
The ASYE requires that a 'holistic assessment' is made of an NQSW's capabilities. This is explained in The College of Social Work's Understanding what is meant by Holistic Assessment.
Further information about holistic assessment of the ASYE against the Professional Capabilities Framework (PCF) includes the following sections:
Case studies published by Skills for Care and the Department for Education provide an illustrative guide to holistic assessment. There are also additional materials to support assessment which includes:
This information is relevant to supervisors and assessors and NQSW's.
There are seven fictional case studies from different practice settings. Each case study has supporting evidence and illustrates how the generic requirements for the ASYE can be applied. These case studies demonstrate a number of different and complementary aspects of the assessment process and all of the case studies will be useful to assessors, managers and NQSWs in both adult and children's settings.
The case studies illustrate:
Click here to view the case studies.
This information is particularly relevant to employers, assessors and supervisors of the ASYE.
The ASYE is employer led and organisations are responsible for the decisions about success and failure in the ASYE and must ensure that judgements and processes for assessing a newly qualified social worker (NQSW) are:
Employers can take advice from a range of sources, including HR colleagues. The strength of the decisions is dependent on the application of holistic assessment and requires effective contributions from the NQSW, the employer and representatives of the wider social work profession.
Click here for more information
This information is relevant to employers from voluntary and independent sector.
This information supports voluntary and private (independent) sector employers interested in supporting newly qualified social workers (NQSWs) to complete the ASYE.
Scenarios and a case study demonstrate the range of work that social workers perform in the independent sector and how the ASYE can be managed. All registered social workers are eligible for the ASYE, including those who are employed in positions that may not be classed as "social work" or have the term "social worker" within their title. So long as the role includes work of a sufficient complexity and type to meet the requirements of the PCF at ASYE level, an NQSW should be encouraged to participate.
This information should encourage and support independent sector employers and their NQSWs to engage with the ASYE. It provides an opportunity to contribute towards developing a vibrant, well qualified workforce, equipped to deliver high quality social care.
Click here for more information.
Feedback from the people who are supported by social work services informs critical reflection and helps practitioners to improve their practice. Formal and informal feedback encourages relationship building and partnerships which is the toolkit for intuitive working.
Gathering feedback from people who need care and support is a crucial aspect of the ASYE as it contributes to the assessment process and supports NQSWs to continually develop their practice. There is a consensus that feedback should be used as part of the standardisation and quality assurance process; and there is a move to consider the role of feedback in the regulation of social workers.

Chris Copeland | January 3, 2012 | Comments
Twice last month, I found myself in meetings with representatives from Fortune 100 companies during which the conversations shifted to the role a brand's website should play in the increasingly social, online world. In both cases, the question posed was about whether or not the brand website (not as an e-commerce tool, but for all other practical purposes) had reached the end of its usefulness and whether Facebook could or should be viewed as the pending replacement.
Research our organization, GroupM Search, published in Q4 found that less than 5 percent of all search visits from shoppers resulted in a visit to a brand website (click here for the full study). The majority of traffic was sent, instead, to third-party review sites, comparison sites, and social platforms. With the growing options for discovery and information gathering beyond a brand site, it is fair (and wise) for brands to question what role an owned website should play.
In fact, the question for 2012 is: "What role should my online brand destinations play in communicating with consumers about my business and when should I send people to each location?" For a business to be successful in 2012, they must have an answer and strategy to act upon the response to that two-part question.
Two studies we conducted in 2011 found that there is a growing number of opportunities for brands to influence the purchase path a consumer will take. We call those opportunities "signposting" moments; a moment in the journey when a consumer reaches a fork in the road and must decide which direction to go next. As recently as 12 to 18 months ago, these moments occurred most frequently on Google's results page, but the options at hand were largely brand websites. Now, the choices are more extreme with everything from third-party category sites (Wikipedia and comparison shopping), brand sites, video sites (YouTube), and through social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Google+).
The death of 10 blue links has helped diminish the ease of navigation to a brand site. But, choices are good and the options at the disposal of a brand can be an advantage if brands can answer the role question posed at the onset of this column. That said, brands need to determine the following for each type of property:
1. What's the point of the assets we own? Whether it is your brand website, your Facebook page, your Twitter stream, or YouTube - what is the primary goal of the destination and how do we continue to further develop the asset to satisfy that end goal?
2. What assets can we leverage on which we have an earned presence? With more users relying on third-party sites (category blogs, review sites, etc.) it is essential to be present in those locations. Though a concerted community activation effort or API feeds of data brands cannot afford to miss out on these locations.
3. Where are we placing signposts and are they clearly marked? For most consumers, the online journey starts with Google. Increasingly, Facebook plays a role as does Twitter and YouTube. Each of these "destinations" can be a gateway to another location. So, what directions are you offering to potential consumers to get them down the funnel toward a decision that includes you?
My perspective for brands, and what I told the individuals from the two Fortune 100s previously mentioned, is that in no way should Facebook be a replacement at the start of 2012 for a brand website. It should have a clearly defined role for the brand as should the brand site. If you cannot articulate both the role and the differentiation from other owned properties, then there is a real problem. The moment you have blurred the lines in your own organization to the point that you cannot distinguish roles and differentiation, you are not positioned to take advantage of the opportunities that lie ahead with your targeted consumers.
That's why, in 2012, there will be nothing more important for brands than to know the roles of their digital assets and how differentiation of each will be communicated to their target consumers. The goal should be to make it easy for any consumer to get to the right destination (owned or otherwise) to experience your brand in the most optimum setting that will in turn progress their own journey to an ideal outcome for your business in this new year.

More players getting in Canada's oil and gas transactions game in 2011: EY
(Calgary – 22 February, 2011) Increased optimism will drive robust transaction activity in the Canadian oil and gas sector in 2011, with a greater range of acquirers getting in the game, says EY.
"Strategic alliances and joint ventures are on the growth agenda this year as more Canadian companies partner with foreign entities to share risk and increase financial strength and resources," said Kevan Holroyd, Executive Director in EY's Oil and Gas practice. "We're also seeing confidence return to smaller oil-weighted companies who have been nursing their balance sheets and to financial investors who are re-establishing their interest in the sector."
In 2010, Canada witnessed fewer but larger deals that included a 67% increase over 2009, (not including the $20.7 billion Suncor-PetroCanada merger,) in the value of Canadian oil and gas transactions to $35.7 billion. In terms of megadeals, the sector saw SINOPEC's acquisition of ConocoPhilips' Syncrude oil sands operation for $4.65 billion, Total SA's acquisition of certain properties from Suncor for $2.43 billion and Total Canada's purchase of UTS Energy Corporation for $1.5 billion, among others.
The oil sands drove the IPO market with the two largest 2010 Canadian IPOs represented by Athabasca Oil Sands' $1.35 billion offering and MEG Energy's $700 million offering. This year, IPO activity levels are set to rise with upstream and oilfield services likely to remain the engine room of deal flow.
"In oilfield services, we're seeing some big US companies sitting on large amounts of cash and looking to re-enter the Canadian market," said Holroyd. "This also rings true for Canadian services companies that have sat on the sidelines over the last few years and are now looking to consolidate and transact."
High debt levels of junior oil and gas companies that are natural gas weighted mean corporate transactions will feature prominently in the deal mix this year, compared to the gas asset packages that dominated the 2010 transaction landscape. Natural gas prices, a victim of a robust supply in a time of moderate demand, will also be an important driver of the extent of transaction activity, particularly as prior opportunistic hedges come off the table and squeeze cash flows.
"Despite an optimistic outlook for 2011, oil and gas companies need to prepare for the unwelcome return of rising costs, a lack of available labour, as well as project delays and budget overruns that plagued the sector leading up to the recent financial crisis," said Holroyd. "
Holroyd adds that there's significant growth ahead, especially for those companies in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin proactively pursuing new areas of sustainability, including the application of technology to drive down costs and enhance efficiency. This includes the strides made in horizontal drilling, multi-stage fracturing and enhanced oil recoveries, along with the continued building and strengthening of strategic relationships and alliances with key global players that were so prevalent in 2010.

Talib Kweli! Occupy Wall Street Now the Best Place In New York for Random Celebrity Spottings [Video]
Last night, Talib Kweli stopped by Zuccotti Park for a rhyme. "Here with the 99 percent," Mr. Kweli tweeted. At the protest, he used the human mic to amplify a short speech. "They want to know what the end game is?"
"THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE END GAME IS," echoed the crowd.
"This is the end game."
The protest at Occupy Wall Street is drawing random acts of celebrity from Richard Simmons to Susan Sarandon to Lupe Fiasco and Immortal Technique. Yesterday, actress Justine Bateman and musician Ted Leo were there. On Wednesday's march, Mike Meyers attempted to blend into the crowd. On Tuesday, the reclusive Jeff Magnum from Neutral Milk Hotel appeared. Read More

I won't be suprised if Iowa beats anyone in the Big 10 except for Michigan (don't play again unless in tourny or Indiana). If Iowa goes 9-7 in the Big 10, I think they are in regardless due to the "strength" of the Big 10. At 8-8, they need 1, maybe 2 in the Big 10 tournament. They will definitely be on the bubble when it comes around I think unless they totally implode. I don't see that happening. They got much better as the year went along last year. Expecting the same to happen this year. You should change your user name from, "ISU number one fan" to "I'm high".

Well s*** rulzzz....then it really doesn't matter what CFH did, does it?

So Izzo didn't foul. Bill Self said in the presser after the game he probably wouldn't have fouled and played it straight up too. That unless you practice that senerio a ton, it's better not to foul. So obviously Fred is just as bad of a coach as Izzo and Self.
