What We're Reading This Week! — A Cautionary Tale from Jenn
I like to think I am made of pretty stern stuff — but Sara Gran and Rachel Klein have wrecked me this week. I'd been saving up Claire DeWitt and the Bohemian Highway for a time when I was desperate for a suspenseful read, and it just so happened to be the same week that I got my copy of therejectionist-recommended Moth Diaries, and between the two of them I feel like I can't breathe. In a "OH MY GOD THESE BOOKS ARE SO GOOD" way! But still. Claire has gone off her rocker and is drowning in drugs and remorse, the narrator of Moth Diaries is also drug-addled and having supernatural visions, and my dreams are … well. Let's just say that as soon as I get to work I'm going to read as many picture books as possible. And if you have any CHEERFUL NON-BREATH STEALING PREFERABLY NO ONE DIES book recommendations for me, I WILL TAKE THEM.
(Question mark goes here so you can answer: ?)

The look the TEMPTU PRO Team created backstage for the Fall 2011 Odilon show, was definitely one of the most avant-garde looks we've created for New York Fashion Week. Now here's your chance to learn how to recreate the look yourself!
Inspired from last week's body art posts, we wanted to share with you some of our favorite works of art, from press to photo shoots to trade shows over the past few years.
The avant-garde circus experience has been a hot trend in modern entertainment for years. Shows like Cirque Du Soleil set the groundwork for this quickly expanding form of entertainment as early as 1987 with its show Le Cirque Reinvente. I am sure we can all agree that costume, and of course makeup play as important a role in the avant-garde circus show, as the physical feats that are performed. In 2009 TEMPTU PRO teamed up with Lucent Dossier Vaudeville Cirque first for the 51st Grammy's and later in April for their Coachella performance. Always working to be on the cutting edge of makeup, TEMPTU PRO has teamed up with Bella Circo for their Oceania show. Here are a few behind the scenes images of the looks created with the help of our Dura Airbrush Makeup formula.
You heard it here! TEMPTU PRO products have officially hit the digital book shelves on Amazon.com, in the book Reel Characters by Makeup Artist Randy Daudlin. Reel Characters is a companion book to Daudlin's previous publication Hurt 'Em Reel Good.
In Reel Characters Daudlin takes you through the techniques and products you'll need to create twelve extraordinary characters including; Wolf Man, 4 Zombie looks, Illustrated Man, Ice Princess, and Mummy. What was the one product used for every look in Daudlin's book? Read More
What Artist Spotlight would be complete without a showcase of said artist's work? TEMPTU PRO presents, as part of our very first Artist Showcase, the collected works of Jenai Chin, body artist.
If there is a makeup, special f/x, or body artist that you think we should shine our Artist Spotlight…Read More

Know how to tip in honor of National Waiters and Waitresses Day
Happy National Waiters and Waitresses Day!
One of the reasons I go out to eat at a sit-down restaurant is to get good service. At home, I am the chef, waitress, busser, dishwasher and more. So going out means getting the service I deserve.
While the food aspect is important, if I don't get good service, it's probably safe to say I will never return even if the food is extraordinary. If the food is so-so but the service is excellent, I will probably return.
With good service, you should always reward your waiter or waitress accordingly. They make less than minimum wage and tips are really what they live off of. If you don't know if you're tipping correctly, here are some tips that will come in handy when you go out to eat next time:
1. Tip 15-20% for good service. I usually tip 20% if the server is nice to me. I only tip 15% when I feel something is lacking in service. Some people tip 10% for so-so service, but only tip that amount if the service is horrible, as in the server has a bad attitude towards you.
2. Cash Tip. Try to tip with cash. If you need to tip on a credit card make sure you tip a little bit more because the servers pay the credit card fee on their tip amount.
3. Tip more if you're a regular. Is there a restaurant you frequent or you only sit where a certain server works? I like going to this local restaurant because the server knows me and my children by first name. While the food is good, nothing spectacular, we go there because we know that we will get good service. During the holidays and her birthday, we tip upwards of 35% and give her a gift too.
4. Tip after tax. I know, I know. You're saying, tips should be calculated before tax. Times have changed and it depends on the restaurant. Some servers are tipping out on the after tax amount.
For more tips, take a look at this Guide to Tips and Tipping. If you go out and get waited on, don't be cheap. Pay anywhere from 15-20% for good service and 10% for bad service. Thank you to all those hardworking servers who put a smile on our face and continue to make dining out pleasurable!

Maggie's Farm
We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Capitalists are Socially Aware
The author, Eduardo Porto, makes the claim "Elected governments are certainly imperfect. But to address our most intractable ills, they are the better tool." I wonder if this is something he'd have written if Bush were in the White House? Doubtful. More importantly, it's worth noting 'government as a tool to fix ills' is a common Progressive claim. It's also one which is completely misguided since it relies on having 'the right people' in office. If the wrong person or people are in charge, Progressives (and Conservatives) who believe government is a 'good' claim "government is broken" or "the wrong people are in charge." The first claim is most likely true regardless of who is in office. But if these claims are true, does government suddenly get fixed when the 'right' people are in charge? Certainly not!
If your system of righting perceived ills requires having 'the right people in charge', you have devised an awful system of governance. It's unlikely the right people can ever be in charge.
What really galls is his belief that an imperfect elected government is the best resource for fixing any perceived ills. Porto seems to have no problem with the 'right' politicians getting wealthy as long as they strike a stance which he support - opposition to businessmen getting wealthy because they provide consumers with beneficial products. It's easy to ignore that, for the last 6 years, with people I'm sure he considers 'right' being in place, Porto's perceived societal ills caused by business have gotten worse. After 6 years of His Wonderfulness being in charge, this journalist is still writing diatribes about how awful things are, or how awful they are becoming. Why has he not stopped to consider the complete and utter uselessness of our Empty-Suit-In-Chief? The 'fix' he voted for has failed him miserably, and he is miserable because he knows it, so he's complaining that the 'fix' was improperly applied. In fact, it was applied properly and it's just plain unworkable. Government is an ineffective method of generating social change, regardless of the 'right people'.

Who will regulate the regulators?
I am more from the William F. Buckley Jr school:
The regulation-maniacs assume, of course, that we common folk have no sense, no information, and few morals, and constantly need their guidance, rules, and laws. Most of them, I suspect, have minimal contact with us regular folks.
How foolish and depraved are people anyway? We are told that we are an irrational tangle of biases, to be nudged any which way. Does this claim stand to reason?
It's an interesting article. I have always figured that humans are partly and sometimes rational and practical, often emotional, frequently uninformed or misinformed, etc. etc. I feel the same way about the regulators who seem to me to be irrationally obsessed with the idea of controlling others to try to make the world fit their fantasies. I'm sure Psychiatry has a term for that tendency. After all those who like to regulate are heir to the same human foibles and temptations as everybody else. Just more grandiose in their self-esteem and less humble and self-doubting.
Sunstein seems, currently, to be preoccupied by digital regulation.
I wish people like him would worry more about their own lives, and leave me alone.

Some good history and some good legal thinking about "extra-legal" power
Some good history and some good thinking about the modern (and ancient) administrative state with its extra-legal powers. I have no doubt that the founders hoped to prevent a Versailles-like giant central bureaucracy, but they failed at that. Why? They wrote all they could to prevent it.
Very enjoyable interview with law Prof. Philip Hamburger. I know you probably hate podcasts as much as I do, but this is a goodie which will make you think.
The USA Progressives borrowed our public school structures, and developed our central governmental administration, from the Prussian models. As Hamburger says, "as American as Bismarck."
"There is always a 'necessity' for increasing government administrative power."

The arguments against America's Declaration of Independence
To be a little provocative, I have to say that Jeremy Bentham's comments on the Declaration (well before the American Constitution was composed) make sense to me. He seemed to know that no limited federal government would last and made a strong implication that the founders were naive to imagine that they could invent a new form of government without powers or inclinations to over-tax or oppress.
If you read the Declaration this weekend, most of the colonists' grievances do seem rather trivial especially in light of our current American federal government. From Bentham's Critique of the Declaration of Independence:
My understanding is that most colonists were not enthused about the war either. By 1789, it all worked out OK anyway, winning admiration from many of the skeptics. For a while.

A day for Americans to remember declaring independence from overly-powerful government
"It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning cannot be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers."

An Unfortunate Commingling - The Pope and socialism
I like Pope Francis, and I think he has said and done many good things to date. I think his comments on Capitalism were misplaced, and so is his current commentary on Communists.
Points in time like these remind me why we need to teach basic Economics in our schools. Capitalism has done more to reduce poverty and improve the economic prospects of the poor than Communism ever did.
More importantly, and this is where Pope Francis goes veering off the rails, Communism forces people to 'be good', rather than allowing them the right to choose the proper path of behavior. It is true that certain miseries and unfair behaviors take place under Capitalism, but these are more than mitigated by the greater gains of all individuals across society. Communism, on the other hand, uses force and coercion to fix perceived inequalities and creates a permanent political class system which is not just economic in nature, but capable of enforcing its whims on those who are not part of the class.
It's worth remembering that Economics was originally called "Moral Philosophy." While Adam Smith is considered the father of Economics, he considered himself a Moral Philosopher and was merely seeking to determine how people made their decisions to act in certain ways. As the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy points out:

Illiberal Democracy
From Razib Khan's Living in a World That Is, Not as It Ought to be:
... no matter what establishment voices assert intervention in foreign lands in a ham-handed fashion to prop up our American values is bound to lead us down a path of tears. As Shadi Hamid states the future of democracy in the Middle East is going to be illiberal. This may be inevitable. We don't need to avert our eyes from it, and we need to acknowledge that so we were, so they will be. It took the Thirty Years war to finally purge the enthusiasm of sectarianism from the cultural DNA of Europeans (and even then, religious minorities were second class citizens for centuries). There will be no calm reasoning with Iraqis of any stripe because the march of history continues, and only sadness can convince all parties that moderation is necessary for the existence of modern nation-states. Intervention in some fashion may be inevitable in the world, but our goal should be to prevent hell, not to create heaven on earth. The former is possible, the latter is not.

Reiki is a widely acknowledged holistic healing treatment that is made use of all over the world nowadays. Initially from Japan, this therapy is used to bring physical, psychological and mental comfort to people experiencing a variety of issues by stabilizing their energy levels. As a matter of reality, this therapy has ended up being so popular that discovering specialists is no more tough.
Not everyone who checks out Reiki gain from it. Nonetheless, this does not always suggest any deficiency with the healing process which has many adherents. As a matter of truth, there are plenty of reasons why a person might not have the ability to perceive the energy or benefit from it. The factors consist of:.
- Tiredness or lethargy leading one to be unreceptive to energy.
- Being in an extremely emotion.
- Analyzing the process too much rather of going with the flow.
- Objection to acknowledge the energy for exactly what it is since of a skeptical nature with regards to alternative healing therapies.
- Being in extreme discomfort or physical discomfort which can easily result in masking of subtle feelings.
- Lack of experience, resulting in a failure to acknowledge sensations.
Reiki is a really subtle healing process and it does not offer a magic bullet against disorders or problems. It does need, nonetheless, that individuals involved persevere in the exercise so that they can end up being excellent at it. It is likewise vital to let the treatment take its own course; any attempt to compel a feedback of any kind will not give the right results. At the exact same time, a client needs to maintain a high level of communication with the specialist in order to let that person understand specifically what is working. If the patient experiences any discomfort then he or she needs to suggest appropriately so that corrective measures can be undertaken.
It is of the best value to go to a specialist who is highly experienced and well-regarded. Thinking about that there are many practitioners nowadays, one needs to select with a lot of care. Lastly, one needs to keep a favorable attitude to the recovering treatment in order to benefit from it; a person who has a great deal of skepticism in the healing procedure will be much better off preventing it completely given that it will not work otherwise. One should also preserve sensible expectations relating to the treatment or else dissatisfaction makes certain to set in.

Will Turns 2…and has a Superhero Sized Birthday Party!
It has been a very busy month planning for Will's superohero themed 2nd birthday party! Pop-pop wanted to come out for the birthday celebration so we had the big party on the 12th. However, we wanted to do something special for Will on his actual birthday, so we filled his room and hallway with balloons and when he woke up in the morning he was SO EXCITED to see them!! He just kept bringing more and more up on our bed and playing with them. It was so special to watch him so excited. Will's vocabulary continues to grow. While only the few of us around him everyday can understand him his specialties and he tells everyone and everything hi and bye. It is just too darn cute. Will has been coming into our bed and sleeping with us more often now. He either comes in at 3 am or 6 am almost every single time.
Will LOVES books right now. He wants us to read to him all the time. His favorites at the moment are "hunt and find" books. He just loves them!! He even came in at 5 in the morning saying 'book', 'book' and started throwing them up on me while he was trying to climb up into bed to read them with me. He also insists on having them in the bed with him and he usually falls asleep with them over his body or face. Love that little boy.
Happy 2nd Birthday Sweet Boy XOXOXO
What an amazing little boy you have grown into…such a beautiful smile!!

Bye-Bye's and Yum-Yum's
Will continues with his therapies. Speech is going well and he is babbling all the time now! He's attempting to repeat words when we ask him, which, is new. He tries so hard and is improving everyday! He said his first new word in almost a year…bye bye! It is too adorable. He also started saying nana (banana) and yum. When he sees food he goes yum. When it's something he really likes he says, "yum, yum, yum, yum….". He's just too awesome. Recently he started initiating words too, instead of us prompting him or having him repeat after us. He actually asked for a "nana" (banana) all on his own!! He started occupational therapy as well, to help with his hyptonoia of the mouth and to help him start using his left arm/hand more often. Diane, his OT, said he's already improved significantly just since the evaluation with using his left hand. He gets better and better at everything every week. Will is such a smart and intelligent boy. We are so lucky to be the ones chosen to take care of him. He is just amazing and we couldn't love him more!!
He's had a few tough nights where he stayed up until midnight three nights in a row. Not only did he stay up, he was wide awake!! He's never stayed up that late before and we have no idea where it came from, but he's back to his normal routine again and sleeping like an angel at night again. He's also leaned to climb up on our bar stool chairs in the kitchen and they are his new favorite chairs in the house. He is so proud of himself…and we can't help but be proud of him too :)
Will got to go to the Bay Area Discovery Museum again, but this time daddy went with us. He loved it every bit as much this time as he did the first time. I have a feeling it may become a staple for us in the near future.
Will attended his first concert! He got invited to attend the Wiggles concert with his friend Noelle. He just loved it so much. It was so fun to watch him dance and squeal and laugh. He had so much fun. Mama had to return back to work, so Will is spending a lot of time with grandma and grandpa.
08.30.2013 Will learns to climb up on the tall barstool chairs where he now enjoys eating. See the small chair behind him…that's where mama sits now because Will wants to eat in the big boy chair!!
08.31.2013 Had to get him a "Dude Abides Shirt" for daddy and auntie Jen. As you can see….he was not abiding :)
09.01.2103 Will now climbs up on the master bath tub too, and got stuck in an attempt to pet Bella in the far corner. I had to snap a picture before I "rescued" him
09.04.2013 Will tried with all his might to get his biggest "friend" up into his bed with him
09.05.2013 Will at his first concert, The Wiggles, with Noelle
09.07.2013 Will and Hannah share a cart for the first time. He didn't do bad at all sharing the cart with her
Jumping into the Future
Will is learning how to jump! It his hilarious. He loves to jump…about 1/2 inch off the ground…but jump none the less. When he stands on the couch, he loves to jump off, holding your hands of course. When he's sitting on anything, he loves to jump off of it….always with support. While he's not quite ready to do it fully on his own, he is so close and just loves it! Will started speech therapy with a new therapist, "Dee Dee" and she is AMAZING. Will made more sounds after his first session with her than he's ever made. He is now making more noises than ever and "talks" all the time. He is still not initiating any of the words on his own, but if you tell him the word he is pointing at, he will do a one syllable copy of the word. For example, if he wants a banana, he isn't asking for the "nana" he just points and grunts at it until we acknoledge what he wants. If you ask him to use his words, he can't say "nana" on his own, but if you say banana to him, then he starts going nana, nana, nana. These are, unfortunately, apraxic tendencies. He also has started occupational therapy to help with his oral muscles and to increase his awareness and use of his left hand. While use of his left hand has improved significantly, it's always good to get the therapy we can get. It's a great service through the North Bay Regional Center. Will still likes to keep his mouth open, all the time, and does "hang" his tounge out of his mouth sometimes. However, we are trying to work on this. OT will hopefully help with this as well.
Will's physical abilities sure have taken off. He is all over the place. Rolling on the ground, jumping on things, climbing, shaking, stomping, whatever he can do with this body he tries. He's all over the place, like any other curious, inqusitive, active toddler. He is just so fun to watch. Not only that he is getting so tall. He can look into the darwers he opens now and look for specific things to grab. Most commonly a spoon when he grabs applesauce for about the 15th time that day. We finally had to put a safety lock on the pantry to keep him out of it.
Will also had his 22 month (2 year) check up. He is finally starting to lean out and grow up. He was finally out of the 90's for head and weight! Woo-hoo.
Weight: 30.4 lbs 87th percentile
Height: 34 1/2 inches 73rd percentile
Head: 78th percentile
Will's had a fun filled past month. Here are some pictures to document his adventures.
07.28.2013 Will loves the neighborhood kids. They are all so great with Will. He follows them wherever they go even though he doesn't understand what they are doing. This night, they were playing mafia (same game daddy plays online) and he just follows them when they lie on the ground and follows them when they run down the street. They are all so good to him!!
Go Will, Go!!
The next door neighbor girls even let him meet their bird
07.30.2013 Playing with Aunt Jen. Will loves puzzles. That interlocking jigsaw puzzle I said was too difficult for him last post…..well, he's mastered it. Now I just have to get him puzzles with more pieces to attempt!
08.01.2013 Will (and mommy, grandma and grandpa) went to the Bay Area Discovery Museum for the first time. What an awesome place for kids to go. We can't wait to go back again! Will had a blast!!
Can you grandma, grandpa, Will and Hannah?
08.08.2013 Will loving the big boy swing
Will loved visiting with his beautiful cousins Katelyn and Maddie :)
08.10.2013 Will went to his first movie, Planes, with the Dominic and Laney DeFazio. He did awesome! He only got antsy the last 20 minutes or so. He and Dominic even shared a chair for about 20 minutes and hugged, pointed and laughed together. It was so cute!!
Let the Sounds Begin
The past couple of weeks, Will has made a big improvement in his sounds. He started making the "ba" sound, the "pa" sound and started to purse his lips and "blow" when his food is hot, do raspberries and even blew some bubbles. We still have a long way to go with his sound fomation and speaking, but it's a start and we couldn't be more proud of him. At this time, Will is receiving speech therapy once a week. He has had two sessions now and learned how to sign "more" in about three seconds! "More" is definitely something Will is always trying to express. "More" food, "more" toys, "more" books. He always wants more :) When the speech therapist brings the bag of goodies, as soon as one thing is pulled out, he looks at it and if it's not what Will wants, he immediately signs more and points to the bag to get out more toys!! It's so funny to watch. Will also showed the sign for "open" a few times, but that one is not as important to him as "more". Speech therapy believes, and we agree, helping him learn some basic signing will help him with his frustration and allow him to express his thoughts in a way other than verbal, since that is not happening as quickly as we hoped.
The therapist did mention the possibility of developmental apraxia for Will, but also said it's a little early to diagnose and can't really be done until about 2 1/2 or 3 years old. I'm trying not to freak out and just hoping one day in the near future, Will just busts out with a whole sentence!! He is just so smart and understands almost everything we say to him. He is so adorable and happy and melts our heart. One thing we have noticed is how much Will loves puzzles!! He just loves to take out the large pieces and put them back in appropriate direction and spot. So, we got a him a whole bunch of Melissa and Doug puzzles and he is in heaven. We even got him one interlocking puzzle. It's a little advanced for him still, but he has already figured out where to put the corner pieces. It's just a matter of time before he figures out how to put the entire thing together. He has great problem solving skills! Even the speech therapist noted that and commented on how smart he is. Will doesn't seem to use move his upper lip very much, so we are doing everything we can to encourage him to use move and use his upper lip. He only drinks through straws now, or just a plain cup, in order to help him use his upper lip and practice pursing it. He still can't really pucker his lip and just makes the sound when blowing kisses as opposed to actually puckering to make the sound. We just love watching the progress he makes everyday.
07.06.2013 Will got to spend another fun day at the DeFazio's house for Dominic and Laney's 4th and 2nd birthdays! He loved the jumpee. He was a little cautious, but he spent a ton of time in there just watching. He started to warm up a little in the end and started standing up and playing with the kids in it.
07.12.2013 Will LOVES bath time…and the bubbles. He is always putting his face in the water now and loves to blow bubbles in there. He also enjoys using the back of the bath tub as a "slide" and always slides down it and splashes into the water. He's so blasted cute XOXO
07.18.2013 Had to get a picture that shows how Will likes to sleep. He likes to have all his friends surrounding him and often can be found with one or more over his face.
07.20.2013 Grandma and grandpa ripped out the old blue spurce out of their front yard and put down sod and a planted a new tree. Grandma was watering the new sod with the hose when you discovered the beauty of running through a hose. Needless to say, we had to strip you naked because you were not going to leave the hose alone. You love water!!
Will still loves his warm towels after his baths. He is so happy when mom and dad remember to put the towel in the dryer :)
07.26.2013 We took Will to the Sonoma County fair. Earlier in the summer we took him the the Sonoma/Marin fair, but he was just too short to go on any rides. He was so disappointed. Luckily, at the Sonoma County fair he was able to go on three rides. We met Geri and her granddaughter, Myra, and when we were there we ran into Will's friend, Noelle, and her mom, Krystie. Will loved going on the rides with his friends. He so desperately wants to go on the roller coaster and doesn't understand why he can't. When Myra went on it, he sat there staring at us and putting his arms up in the "why can't I go?" position. It was so sad because he just isn't tall enough yet. Next summer, he'll be all over the rides!!

Adoption of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) techniques in the power sector that result in cutting wastage and improving productivity could have vast benefits for industries, experts said on Tuesday.
Addressing the inaugural of a two-day conference on TPM hosted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), A.V. Krishnan, Executive Director, BHEL, Tiruchi, noted that the energy sector had huge potential to reduce wastage and also enhance productivity if TPM systems were implemented.
TPM deployment in the power sector would bring in zero wastage, thereby maximising the availability of power to the country, he said.
Sustainable journey
Noting that TPM had been a sustainable journey that had been validated through effective implementation by industries and industry leaders, Mr. Krishnan said.
TPM tools and techniques were not applicable for industries but were as relevant for offices. Performance management tools such as TPM, 5S or lean technology were aimed at improving efficiency and enhancing business results.
"Excellence, in essence, is a combination of customer satisfaction and business success," he said.
V. Narasimhan, Chairman, TPM Club India & Executive Director, Brakes India Ltd; Foundry Division said while 161 companies across the country had already implemented TPM, the target was to reach 250 companies over the next three years.
Sarita Nagpal, Deputy Director General, CII, stressed the advocacy of companies being focused on the "next concept" and keeping an organisation constantly thinking ahead.
Noting that there was potential for immense benefits if the TPM practices could be introduced in the power sector, Ms. Nagpal said the Ministry of Heavy Industries had responded favourably to a CII proposal for implementation of TPM in public sector undertakings.

We investigated the photodissociation mechanism of N,N-dimethylnitrosamine (CH3)2NNO (DMN) by ab
intio quantum chemical methods. Inspired by an earlier study we calculated two-dimensional potential energy
surfaces of the S1 state of DMN in its planar and pyramidal conformations. While the planar molecular geometry
appears to possess no direct dissociation channel, the pyramidal configuration is dissociative yielding the
products NO + (CH3)2N. Using wave packet dynamics on the planar S1 potential energy surface the
experimental absorption spectrum was well reproduced which gives indirect but strong support for the
nondissociative nature of this surface. The transition from the planar to the pyramidal conformation of DMN
was then investigated by an ab initio molecular dynamics method which revealed the time evolution of the
geometrical parameters of the molecule up to the dissociation of the N-N bond. This occurs about 90 fs after
photon excitation. The calculated minimum energy path along the N-N coordinate and the structural changes
of the molecule along this coordinate provided a detailed picture of this indirect dissociation or, more specific,
predissociation process via conformational change.

Bought a Groupon for 1 treatment. Paid $90. then tipped 10% of what they said normally costs $400. I am so disappointed! First of all, it hurt! She did full coverage of face (meaning just around one eye area I counted 160 pulses.) It took about 45 minutes to complete. Lidocaine is needed to numb the face first and foremost. For the normal price, it should be included! Also, haven't noticed one bit of difference from one session, so why would I go back? There wasn't even a 1% tightening of my face. I am 49 years old. Don't waste your money!

Well I'm certainly glad to hear you didn't shell out the full price, but still - what a bummer to not see any results!
When you left the office how did your face feel? Was it red or tender, or did it just feel like it did before the treatment?
- Reply
Well I'm glad you found something to give you the results you wanted at least.
I tried Botox for the first time in September, but I haven't been back & it has worn off. I haven't done any fillers yet...but am toying with the idea of it.
We have communities for both Juvederm and Botox if you need any info on them. Would love to have you write reviews about your experience with them too!
The cosmetician was polite and professional, as was the rest of the staff. Just think ReFirme is too much money with no results. Even if it takes 3+ times, even minimal results need to show after the first session to entice the client to continue.

Fusion Napa Valley Verjus 2008 Hits the Market!
Since 1993, the grapes used for Napa Valley Verjus are among the first grapes of the season harvested in California. Having the distinction of being the first wine-grape product bottled and released into the market, no more than ten days pass between the day the grapes are picked to the day that the Verjus is bottled. The resulting juice has fresh aromas of berries and flowers, with a tart, clean and barely sweet sensation on the palate. The balance of acidity and sweetness is perfect for many styles of cooking, from traditional French recipes to modern American, Italian, Asian and Mediterranean Cuisine.
An unusually hot summer in California resulted in the Fusion Verjus crop being harvested a few weeks earlier than in 2007. French Colombard and Alicante are the two grapes that were selected from separate vineyards with different growing conditions and levels of ripeness at harvest to produce this years vintage of Verjus.
Without divulging too many proprietary secrets, Verjus Blanc is made from a "base verjus" with very high acidity which is then blended with juice made from sweeter grapes. Verjus Rouge is blended with the dark red-purple Alicante juice to give it the color of a light red wine. Blending the juices is what allows Fusion to control the acidity of the Verjus and adjust the sweetness of the final product with culinary diversity in mind.
The 2008 Fusion Napa Valley Verjus Blanc is 10.2 degrees Brix and has a titratable acidity (TA) of 2.0 g/100 ml. The acids found in grape juice are primarily citric, tartaric and malic. They are milder and naturally more wine compatible than the acetic acid found in vinegar. The Verjus Rouge is 11 degrees Brix and 2.0 g/100 ml TA.
To give you an idea of how quickly the grapes go from vine to bottle, we've created a timeline of this year's harvest:
Upon being bottled, the final product is sent for laboratory analysis for sterility and stabilization. That leads to the full release of Napa Valley Verjus into market for distribution and sales. We hope you enjoy cooking with the 15th vintage of Fusion Verjus. Please contact your local FoodMatch sales representative or call our office for pricing and availability in your area.
The recent active hurricane season in Florida has caused some to wonder if the supply of Divina Roasted Red Tomatoes will be negatively affected. It is true that Central Florida crops were hit especially hard by Hurricane Fay as it moved from Orlando to Tampa Bay over the course of several days. In some areas, up to 36 inches of rainfall was reported. Much of this area is faced with replanting, which will delay the Central Florida crop into early next year. As of this writing, the tomato crop in Southern Florida had not been damaged by any of the storms.
Thankfully, this time of year FoodMatch is receiving our tomatoes from local farms in the Northeast. We are just now wrapping up production using tomatoes from our contracted fields in Pennsylvania, Virginia and New Jersey. This supply will last until early 2009 when the Florida winter crop becomes available.
FoodMatch will continue to monitor the results of the winter tomato crop and provide updates if necessary.
San Marco Italian Rices
One of the trendiest additions to menus across the country in recent years has been risotto. Even home cooks are willing to invest the time and effort into this fall/winter culinary treat! FoodMatch is proud to offer three distinctive and high quality Italian rices courtesy of San Marco.
FoodMatch offers three distinct types of San Marco rice:
From the Veneto region where it is the rice choice among locals. Thin grains absorb flavors well. Excellent in risotto and traditionally used in pumpkin or game dishes..

The spaceship plaza. Oh ya, forgot to tell you. I live on Jupiter.
Everyone of us has the power to make someone else feel bad about themselves. Society isn't just screwing us up, it's messing with everyone. We are society, so how can we blame society? It doesn't matter if you're being bullied or judged. Or does it? Seriously, we look at other people and say that they are not beautiful, and giggle about it with our friends. Then on Facebook and whatnot we say "Everyone is beautiful <3". But not everyone is beautiful, some people have terrible personalities. Does beauty only come from the outside? Apparently that's what society think's. I just think its messed up. Can we all not be at peace? Why does there have to be war? Can we not fight about religion, and sit together, as a united group. Not just the United States. I wish there was a way, for peace on earth.
Unless Im lookin for fluff :3
Bad hair Day much??
