Sterling silver and soft gemstones come together to recreate the glow of Carolina's mountain peaks. Weaved together in a mountain-like form, the polished sterling silver surrounds a grey mother of pearl centerpiece. Freeform stones of blue chalcedony, grey mother of pearl and amethyst complete a soothing array of color and design that will always keep the mountains on your horizon. Measures 5-1/2" inside circumference. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Mist wraps itself magically around Carolina's layered peaks. Sculptural ribbons of sterling silver evoke the layered silhouette of these lovely mountains, while the soft colors of blue chalcedony, gray mother of pearl and amethyst recreate their mesmerizing light.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

HARWOOD, Md. (AP) - Army specialists removed what was believed to be a World War II era munition from an Anne Arundel County neighborhood.
County firefighters were called after the 2-foot-by-10-inch shell was found near Gray's Road in Harwood about 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
Battalion Chief Steve Thompson told The Capital of Annapolis that emergency crews were on the scene until about 7 p.m. Thompson said Army specialists from Fort Belvoir, Va. took possession of the ordnance and rendered it safe.

TVs are doing it; so are iPhones. So why shouldn't systems that manage the electronics of your home be able to be controlled by voice commands as well? That's the thinking behind a new technology demonstrated this week at the CEDIA Expo in Indianapolis. The VoicePod from HouseLogix is designed to speech-enable any home, and at Expo was integrated with a Control4 automation system so that a user's vocal commands like "lights on" turned on a lamp and "unlock door" unlocked an electronic door lock. Incorporating both speech recognition and speech output in a single wireless device, VoicePod is positioned as an alternative to traditional keypads, remotes and touchpanels, according to HouseLogix president and founder Theodore Rosenberger.
The VoicePod connects with wireless Zigbee technology, so all it needs is power to communicate with other Zigbee products, like the Control4 system. Users simply speak a wake-up phrase, such as "Hello VoicePod" and the unit comes to life. In addition to issuing commands, users can ask questions such as "what is the house status" and receive spoken responses.
VoicePod's speaker-independent voice recognition requires no training. VoicePod's vocabularies cover AV, security, lighting control, temperature control and more. VoicePod will ship in early 2013 and include full Control4 integration. It is expected to retail for $600.

ONLY for corner of eyes, useless!

I do like Alba, but I completely wasted my money on this product. I gave a star for the cruelty free & vegan nature of the product. You can only apply it to the outer corner of your eyes (I e-mailed Alba to check if it could be applied to under eyes or lids, they said no). This does nothing for the rest of your eyes. My eye areas have been so dry, I am searching for something else now. Don't waste your money on this useless product!

I'm using the product every day already for 3 years. This is the only eye gel as far I'm really satisfied with. Before I was looking for a good eye creme or gel to apply it before foundation powder, but usually from available products at the stores skin around my eyes got red, dry and itchy, which of course did not look and felt good. In a while I found out about iHerb and started looking for a product that would not be that irritant. Must say - manufacturers product description fully matches to real product features and it is appropriate for long time usage (for me 1 fl, 30ml takes a year to end) Skin around of my eyes keeps firm and healthy. From my side Alba Botanica, Green Tea Eye Gel is highly recommend for young women and every woman with sensitive skin around the eyes. Enjoy!
Was so hoping to like this

I love Alba Botanica products and have never had any trouble but this eye gel makes the whites of my eyes red. At first I thought I was using too much (the size of a pin-head) and decreased it to almost nothing but still...red eyes. I have since stopped using it and my eyes are now clear. Too bad.

1st Quarter Earnings Calls: Unbungling; Unbundling But Not Unshackled
Three legacy carrier earnings calls down, two to go. Southwest and Allegiant have reported. So has SkyWest. But the clear takeaways are difficult to discern. Everyone wants to know if the industry has reached a bottom. But there are no clear answers while we are still in the middle of an economic tsunami. For all those who have said the domestic market is stabilizing (me among them) the only hard evidence on our side right now is that the environment is not getting worse.
Every carrier is supremely focused on unbungling their operations. Yes, unbungling. Because we all know that operations at many carriers have been a mess, with many factors to blame. And, as painful as the process has been, many carriers are making progress getting their operations and costs in order. US Airways led an amazing turnaround focused on its once-troubled Philadelphia hub. Many very good reforms are underway at United. And all things operational are improving at American, albeit at a slower pace than at some of their legacy peers.
Moreover, virtually every carrier – except for Southwest – remains committed to continuing the unbundling process and to maximizing secondary revenue sources. Today, Delta went so far as to announce a fee for the second checked bag on international flights -- becoming the first in the industry to do so. The industry is unequivocal that the fees will stay and that where opportunities are present to do more, they will. Further, a heartening storyline has emerged regarding distribution, where carriers increasingly see opportunities to move away from paying intermediaries to sell their tickets and to turn that model on its head so that airlines get a fee from the middle man for the right to sell their product.
The United Call
I do not have the transcript of this call in front of me, but this was a most interesting listen. My favorite part was when Morgan Stanley's Bill Greene posed a very fundamental question that went something like this: With planned capital expenditures less than depreciation, how are we supposed to think about United, or the industry, on a going forward basis from an investment point of view?
Or, as Helane Becker of Jessup and Lamont put it: Should UAL have public equity at all, or instead raise only debt capital from the public markets? Then there was Ted Reed of TheStreet.com, who was blunt in asking whether, just maybe, United had "shrunk too much."
Good questions. Unfortunately, they are ones that the current environment makes very difficult to answer with conviction.
In my last post, I questioned the airline industry's access to capital given fragile economic fundamentals in an industry that, over its long history, has failed to produce so much as a dime in retained earnings. In my view, the industry is at a tipping point in which smart investors should question the structural integrity of some carriers and networks during what amounts to a market stress test . . . one that just might reveal which airlines have few moves left to shed uneconomic capacity.
This is the "new and irreversible development" I referred to, a trajectory that might change only through serious effort to remove the many regulatory shackles around this industry. Some necessary changes might not be politically popular -- increased foreign ownership of US airlines comes to mind – but the industry's options are narrowing when you consider that revenue trends do not hold out much immediate promise.
Looking ahead, with credit tight, where will capital – affordable capital – be found unless it is from another participant in the same industry? If companies are struggling to realize any return on invested capital today, then what happens as interest rates continue to increase in lockstep with capital scarcity? As standalone companies, there is just not enough room for individual carriers to maneuver around an income statement that holds little promise of further significant reductions in the short-term. Based on Greene's point, even United seems reluctant to reinvest much of its own, and limited, capital into a business that does not hold promise of a reasonable return.
This is not just about United. This is an industry issue. And not just a US industry issue . . . it is fast becoming a global industry issue.
In North America, Air Canada has long been the poster child of an airline that needs an influx of foreign capital necessary to keep the company relevant in the global market place. Air Canada faces some unique challenges: namely that nearly two-thirds of Canada's air travel demand is found in just eight markets.
Meanwhile, the Delta/Northwest merger is fast proving that the combined entity is far less vulnerable than either of the two carriers would have been had they not merged. Just think about the vulnerability of each Delta's and Northwest's respective hubs to the economies in the interior of the US footprint.
With US Airways the exception among the legacy carriers as to international market exposure, we as a nation should at very least acknowledge the reality that globally-oriented airlines need to be just that. I'm not talking about domestic airlines with global extensions -- we tried that, in a way, with TWA, Eastern and Pan Am . But absent any real alliances that left each of them dependent only on US-origin traffic, those carriers suffered a common fate -- shut down in sagging economies as capital became tight.
Concluding Thoughts
Following an industry life cycle of value destruction, US legacy carriers now face a dilemma: whether to invest in their core businesses or not?
As the US airline industry is now six full years into a major restructuring, the tendency to legislative and regulatory gridlock did not get restructured. An inflexible labor construct did not get restructured. Policies promoting the fragmentation of the US domestic market did not get restructured – until the airlines themselves took on this task through capacity reductions in redundant markets out of necessity. The infrastructure, whether it be ATC or the airport system, did not get restructured. And the historic mindset that capital will be forever recycled among manufacturers, vendors, labor and government imposed actions did not get restructured.
In truth, the US market should not fear individual carrier failures or consolidation. Indeed, this market has demonstrated time and time again that where competition is vulnerable, a new entrant will exploit that vulnerability. Where there are market opportunities, there will be a carrier to leverage that opportunity. Where there is insufficient capacity, capacity will be sure to find the insufficiency.
At a minimum, government should take a very serious look at where this industry sits. The US airline industry is not asking for government handouts. Rather it is my view that this industry seeks nothing more than the same rights to operate as virtually every other successful US industry selling to the global marketplace is permitted.
Few shackles unless consumer harm can be proven. Going backward will result in significantly more dislocation for virtually every stakeholder remaining in the industry today as it begins with an industry even smaller than today's. It would be a shame to waste six years of some very good work.

As new energy efficiency programs proliferate, regulators increasingly will seek to use the associated demand reductions to reduce capital expenditures on new transmission and distribution assets...
An Inconvenient Fact
Why the standard market design refuses to die.
with power plants, thus violating the long-established federal-state jurisdictional divide over the regulation of transmission (a federal matter) and generation (left to the states).
For example, as a counterweight to PJM's TDA coalition, Entergy, Southern Co., Progress Energy, and the Salt River Project formed the so-called Community Power Alliance to defend the status quo. It saw open dispatch as "insensitive to the concerns of state regulatory commissions."
Progress Energy, filing its own comment, then blasted open dispatch as violating native-load protections and due-process guarantees: "Open dispatch is a shorthand term for … confiscating the power supply resources of vertically integrated electric utilities in order to serve loads that they have no obligation to serve."
Entergy advised that FERC and its staff had long recognized and understood "all of these concepts," but had simply "knowingly chosen to adopt a different approach than that previously taken with the SMD." Continuing in the same vein, the large Public Power Council warned that "Chandley/Hogan may feel free to quarrel with Congress, but the commission does not have that luxury."
The Evidence
The analysis starts with short-term grid imbalances, as when generators run short or long of scheduled output, or load exceeds forecasts or fails to show up. That's when mischief begins—but only if imbalances are priced incorrectly.
Entergy's service area offers the prime example, where some 17,000 MW of new merchant generation has put down roots, though Entergy's grid system claims only 4,000 MW of simultaneous transport capability. For years, Entergy complained how merchant plants leaned on its system over short-term intervals. They allegedly would ramp up and down ahead of schedules, shaving minutes so as not to leave money on the table (not to mention start-up and minimum-run costs), while Entergy's native units (even coal plants) would scramble to maintain frequency control. That led Entergy to negotiate a special generator imbalance agreement (GIA) with merchants. (See Docket ER04-901, June 1, 2005, 111 ¶FERC 61,314.)
In fact, while it opposes open dispatch, Entergy defends its GIA as offering real-time features for managing imbalances that go far beyond the crude monthly accounting requirements of FERC's OATT revised plan. Thus, Entergy urges FERC not to jeopardize its own "uniquely tailored" plan. (Entergy, initial comments, pp. 26-35.)
Another open dispatch opponent, the Edison Electric Institute (EEI), recognizes nevertheless how important it is for FERC to distinguish between imbalances in peak- and off-peak periods: "Otherwise," says EEI, "energy imbalance customers will have an incentive to underschedule in high-load periods when costs and prices are high, and to repay … when costs and prices are low." (EEI, initial comments, p. 71.)
Meanwhile the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (the western reliability region) has noticed that FERC-mandated imbalance penalties have proven problematic. It seems that some generators use "set-point controllers" to "override governor action" to avoid imbalance charges, but erode frequency control in the process. Meanwhile "those with properly operating governors" will help control frequency, but "may be punished," says WECC, "for deviating from scheduled output to respond to system reliability needs." (WECC, initial comments, pp. 19-20.)
Chandley/Hogan were quick to spot this

With accreditation from the American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer (CoC) in 2013, Tanner Cancer Care became one of the top cancer treatment programs in the nation. The accreditation furthers the credibility of the patient-centered care approach pursued by Tanner Cancer Care and certifies that the program's patients will benefit from the expertise of an entire team of cancer specialists.
To achieve the three-year Commission on Cancer accreditation, Tanner Cancer Care had to meet or exceed 34 quality care standards required by the commission and demonstrate a multidisciplinary approach to treating cancer.
The Commission on Cancer's accreditation program provides the framework for treatment providers like Tanner Cancer Care to improve patient care through programs that focus on the full spectrum of treating cancer, including prevention, early diagnosis, cancer staging, optimal treatments, rehabilitation, life-long followup for recurrent disease and end-of-life care.
More than 70 percent of all newly diagnosed cancer patients are treated in one of the more than 1,500 Commission on Cancer-accredited cancer programs available nationwide. Only about 30 percent of cancer treatment facilities nationwide have earned the Commission on Cancer's accreditation.
The accreditation also ensures that patients receiving care at accredited facilities have access to information on clinical trials and new treatments, genetic counseling and patient-centered services, like patient navigation services, survivorship care and more.
Like all Commission on Cancer-accredited facilities, Tanner Cancer Care maintains a cancer registry and contributes data to the National Cancer Database. This nationwide oncology outcomes database is the largest clinical disease registry in the world.
To receive accreditation, Tanner Cancer Care had to demonstrate adherence to the five elements that are key to the success of a CoC-accredited cancer program: 1) the clinical services provide state-of-the-art pretreatment evaluation, staging, treatment and clinical follow-up for cancer patients seen at the facility for primary, secondary, tertiary or end-of-life care; 2) the cancer committee leads the program through setting goals, monitoring activity, evaluating patient outcomes and improving care; 3) the cancer conferences provide a forum for patient consultation and contribute to physician education; 4) the quality improvement program is the mechanism for evaluating and improving patient outcomes; and 5) the cancer registry and database is the basis for monitoring the quality of care.
Established in 1922 by the American College of Surgeons, the Commission on Cancer is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to improving patient outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients through standard-setting, prevention, research, education and the monitoring of comprehensive, quality care. More information about the Commission on Cancer is available online at www.facs.org/cancer.

Try to NOT charge in. You might just be out of range.
Any particular pulls you are dieing on, the packs of 6 (3 in 10man) after XT can seemingly "oneshot" a tank if you get agro on them all before banishes etc for example.
**Give me a hug and I'll defend you with my life**

Try to NOT charge in. You might just be out of range.
we usually do that pull with a rogue doing tricks + FoK while the tank stands out of LoS.
Heres a quick guide how to pull a boss that way :
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X-qVvxtMEY&feature=channel_page]YouTube - Boss pull guide[/ame]
got to love the safety of death grip Always in range of healers ^^
Regarding the comments about charging in, I've tanked as a warrior and I've healed main tanks who like to charge and it's never been an issue because the healers know about the charge, so they stand relatively close to the tank before the pull so the tank never leaves the healer's range, and the tank never charges unless he sees a healer positioned correctly for it.
For healers, it takes some getting used to it. In my guild healers were used to my charging, and when I switched to tanking with my DK I started using Death Grip instead of charging, and my healers were all "WTF stop tanking right on top of us" because they were used to my charging. It all boils down to communication: make sure your healers know you're charging in, and make sure they are prepared before you do it.
I just ran through your achievements, I'm guessing you're the Steelbreaker tank.
Yes, he hits *that* hard.
Or the usual Steelbreaker tank is a pally who cleanses himself after Fusion Punch... and the healers don't realize you can't do that yourself?
How much over 40k? from my experience if you're tanking UD25 and you've got 40k health or less thats a major problem right there.
Health in UD is just as important as avoidance, because chances are on a fight you won't avoid two or three hits in a row, this means pressure on healers that you can help alleviate this by pushing your health higher.
Think about this, we run a number of tanks on our runs and the ones with less than 40k health die quickly and often. Those around the 45k+ mark are usually the ones left fighting the boss because they give healers a 2-3 sec worth of healing headroom.
Boss hits for 20k twice on a tank with 40k or less in a time space of no longer than 4 to 6 secs (thats pretty normal in UD25, they may hit less because of block but then you're back to RNG.. much like avoidance) and that tank will die because his survivability is 6 secs max without heals.
A tank with 40k+ will need to be hit three times to die, giving the healers 6-9 secs to land their big 2.5 - 3 sec heals (most will be spamming their biggest because they know the boss hits hard).. by adding more health they have more space to make timing mistakes.. which happens.
My tank is a DK so while I don't have block as an extra mitigation stat and learnt about health the hard way.
One way to push hit points is to take up mining/JC to get those stats up.
I have some room to add more HP.
IF/When I use charge, I'll use Heroic Throw to pull, back up, THEN charge. Two of the deaths were on Razorscale (no data ..I'll get it next weekend if needed), as soon as she broke free I taunted and immediately went into my rotation, SB/SS/TC..etc, I don't think I even got the TC off before i was down.
Edit: found out what steelbreaker is...we haven't done iron council on 25m yet but yes, I'm normally the SB tank in 10m..he's a cakewalk...
Last edited by Sasha; 05-12-2009 at 07:29 AM. Reason: realized what steelbreak was.. :)
Typically before charging in, I'll have healers HoT me up, this usually helps with damage. But I can't say that I've ever had a problem getting 1-2 shotted. However, the trash before Ignis & Hodir... *shudder* They can be nasty if your healers aren't prepared.
Steelbreaker won't be a problem for you if your cleansers are onto it, the real fun pull is crazy cat lady.. it's alot easier now but we had real fun pre-nerf, basically sacrificing a pally just to get the adds onto their tanks was the easiest way to do it.
Now the adds can be tanked 2 at a time at least.
Having a healer as my main and a war tank as our MT for the most part in our guild I would say that usally the reason he dies is he out ranges us. We are really good about making sure he is bubled and hotted with a POM and everything, but he doesnt communicate well and likes to charge head long into stuff with out back-up. Communication is the key for any end game raids trust me
I had the same problems with my guild when we first went into UD25. It got to the point where I had to read out from the combat log after each death so everyone in the raid could see how much damage I was taking and how little healing I was getting before I'd die.
Once they got used to how much damage a tank can take we've had no problems with the tanks dieing unless something weird happens..... now if we could only get the dps to stop standing in things
So next time make sure you have time stamps on and check your combat log after each death. If the heals aren't there then nothing you do will help.
I would guess it is one of two things going on. From my personal exp. in 25m Ulduar, even with 40k buffed health, and around 28k buffed armor I still take 20K+ hits from every boss I have tanked thus far. So unless my healers are on top of their game I have gone down in a matter of sec's. after a pull. This is not due to a range problem so much as my lower healh is making me less viable then some of the other tanks. Which may be the case for you. Also the other thing could be your healers as was mentioned dont heal till they see dmg. Which is bad in Ulduar. By the time they see dmg and react the tank is useally down. Other then that and without a raid log or such it is hard to say much more.
Heh, we were having the same problem but on Ignas the Furnace Master with our protection paladin (first person who picked him up as soon as he landed), he's rocking around 38k health, full soft defense cap, pretty nice gear, one shotted after the 1st stack of his debuff. Sadly, it was kind of funny because our furry (with a lack of a tank) was holding off with 4 stacks for over 20 seconds.

2012 Style: The Fashion Year In Review
GALLERY >> 2012 In Style
With 2012 drawing to a close, it's time to look back at those stars who got our sartorial hearts racing over the past 12 months, the stylish types who brought new trends into our lives and made us wish we had top-notch designers on speed dial.
Over the next two weeks, we'll bringing you the 10 best dressers of the year as voted for by our style panel but today, we take a look at how 2012 shaped up month by month.
We start with winter warmers in January as showcased by Kate Moss and Jessica Alba, move onto Cannes Glam where Kristen Stewart and Diane Kruger stole the show before reaching the metallic madness that was November.
So click through the gallery above for a quick synopsis of 2012 in style...
January 2012: Coolest Cover-ups
The year began with a masterclass in winter dressing, which was rather handy considering all we wanted was to wrap up warm. Kate Moss, Blake Lively and Jessica Alba proved that staying cosy does not mean you have to sacrifice on style - oh no. Like true pros, they pulled on their fluffy cover-ups, belted trenches or dip-dyed coats to show us mere mortals how it's done.

February 2012: Valentine Red
In February, our favourite style stars proved that wearing red on the red carpet is no longer a fashion faux pas - and where better to prove it than at THE red carpet event of the year, the Oscar Awards? Michelle Williams arrived at the swanky do wearing a vibrant Louis Vuitton gown featuring a ruched bustline and peplum skirt. Then Natalie Portman appeared in vintage Dior polka dots, before our attention was turned to the Vanity Fair after party where Diane Kruger was channelling scarlett lady hotness thanks to this saucy Calvin Klein gown. What more proof do you need?

March 2012: Fashion Week FROWers
Onto March and we find Paris Fashion Week in full swing. Of course this means a gazillion fashionistas pulling on their finest to grace the chicest of front rows. From Sarah Jessica Parker at the Louis Vuitton extravanganza to Leigh Lezark boldly working a canary yellow suit for Sonia Rykiel's show and Katy Perry, well, just clacking around Paree in a see-through skirt and bright blue hair, there was fashion fun a-plenty.

April 2012: Spring Fresh
With the arrival of spring, the stars turned to lashings of bright white. We saw Tilda Swinton working a crisp all-white suit by Celine at the Time 100 Gala. Lady Gaga stayed true to [a href="/fashion/archive/2010/07/30/the-wonders-of-gaga-s-airport-wardrobe.htm">her bonkers airport style[/a] in a sweeping gown teamed with a sparkling mask and bright blonde quiff - as you do. But it was LeeLee Sobieski who cemented a place in our hearts when she stepped out in a full-skirted white frock by designer-du-jour, Raf Simons, before he jumped the Jil Sander ship to take the helm at Dior. And we know how well that turned out.

May 2012: Cannes Glam
Ah, Cannes. When the film festival kicks off across the pond, you know [a href="/fashion/archive/2012/05/28/cannes-best-dressed-2012.htm">you're in for a full-on frockathon[/a] - and this year didn't disappoint. Kristen Stewart got us gawping when she sexed up her style in a red floor-length lace gown by Reem Acra (see, it was red a-go-go in 2012). We were delighted to have Freida Pinto back on our red carpet radar as she stepped out in Atelier Versace, but Diane Kruger was crowned Cannes Queen thanks to her parade of gorgeously frothy gowns, all topped off her with [a href="/fashion/archive/2012/05/25/diane-kruger-and-joshua-jackson.htm">dashing beau, Joshua Jackson[/a]. Some girls have all the luck.

June 2012: All About Emma
There was one lady we couldn't take our eyes off this summer: [a href="/fashion/people/Emma-Stone">Emma Stone[/a]. The actress went on a red carpet style spree to promote The Amazing Spiderman, knocking out[a target="_blank" href="/fashion/archive/2012/06/20/the-best-dressed-star-of-june-2012-isemma-stone.htm"> one sartorial hit after the other[/a]. First she went ladylike in a two-tone Roksanda Ilincic dress, then she mixed it up with a sparkling Elie Saab jumpsuit before treating us to a dollop of Chanelegance in a dainty white dress with dark pink embellishments. And with that, our girl crush was sealed.

July 2012: Fabulously Frothy
It was all about the whimsical flounce in July with the 'It'-eratti taking to the red carpet in dresses sprouting white frothiness. Well, it was summertime after all. Marion Cotillard looked nothing short of a sparkling ballerina in her Dior number teamed with silver sandals while Diane Kruger and Katy Perry pioneered the look by wrapping their curves - and white froth - in gold embellishments teamed with scraped-back buns. Tinkerbell, eat yer heart out.

August 2012: '70s Cool
In August, we went back to the '70s thanks to Florence Welch rocking up to the Toronto Film Festival in head-to-toe clashing prints courtesy of Prada. Kate Hudson joined Flo at TIFF and pulled on a white Gucci suit featuring a double-breasted jacket and flared trousers. But we can't talk retro without a side order of Alexa Chung and this Jane Birkin-esque dungaree shorts ensemble with cute Charlotte Olympia cat pumps has to be one of her finest fashion moments.

September 2012: Sheer Delight
We fell head over heels for sheer gowns in September. Rita Ora, Rose Byrne and January Jones demonstrated that this is the perfect way to do red carpet glamour by flashing their curves but remaining on the right side of sexy so take note, ladies.[a href="/fashion/news/as-kristen-stewart-promotes-on-the-road-in---we-have-to-ask--is-this-the-longest-promo-tour-ever"> K-Stew certainly has...[/a]

October 2012: Happy Halloween
In October, all thoughts turned to dressing up, eating sweets and getting up to all sorts of mischief. Yes, even the fashion world embraced the Halloween spirit and we were mightily impressed with the turn-out. Gwen Stefani channelled Sandy from Grease with a hot pink leather jacket, super-tight satin trousers and fake blood dripping down her head. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley managed to look as stylish as ever by throwing on her granny's cast-offs (grr) and Kate Moss cracked out[a target="_blank" href="/fashion/archive/2012/11/01/kate-moss-and-jamie-hince-dress-up-as-morticia-and-gomez-addams-for-jonathan-ros.htm"> possibly her greatest costume EVER[/a] with this Morticia Addams get-up.

November 2012: Metallica
Metallics still have mileage when it comes to finding a party frock so we'll be taking style-spiration from Kristen Stewart (in Elie Saab), Cara Delevingne (in Burberry) and Kate Moss (in Marc Jacobs) when we go hunting for the perfect Christmas dress. While Mossy and K-Stew got drenched in gold thanks to their floor-length gowns, [a target="_blank" href="/fashion/news/model-cara-delevingne-ruled-the-runway-at-london-fashion-week--check-out-her-cat">Cara rocked a mini at the British Fashion Awards[/a], accessorised with little more than a pair of shimmering silver heels.

December 2012: The new neckline
How to spruce up your style for the New Year? By investing in a new neckline. In the past month, we've seen Diane Kruger, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Biel give a modern twist to their red carpet attire by sporting a fashion-forward neckline. It's certainly one way to keep us on our toes. Here's to 2013!

WASHINGTON - Former ESPN commentator Rob Parker lost his job after his controversial comments about Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III.
To add insult to injury, he's also getting dissed in a rap song.
The Washington Post's Dan Steinberg reports Texas rapper Quistar is a friend of RGIII's and couldn't stay silent forever after Parker's comments about Griffin's racial identity.
The result is a send-up called "Changed the Game," a tune set to "Changes" by Tupac and in which Quistar says Parker made "a stupid argument" and is now "working at the supermarket."
Listen to the song below:
'Changed the Game'
Quistar tells the Post that Parker's comments angered him because kids in his area look up to Griffin instead of lesser role models, and "there was only so long I could hold it in."
The tune is just one of the tracks on Quistar's RGIII-themed mixtape, which you can download here.

Demographic Change
Demographic change has now become a major topic of public debate. Although it is largely discussed in the context of current economic and social problems, the true dislocations resulting from demographic shifts have in fact yet to take place. Conversely, before the coming shifts occur, society should take advantage of the demographic benefits that have resulted from the increased birth rates of the 1950s and 1960s. The consequences of a declining and aging population will only make themselves fully felt once the baby-boomer generation enters retirement. Currently, policymakers and other social leaders are still in confusion about how to react to the imminent developments, which means key questions have been left unanswered and potential responses largely ignored.
Focus Areas
Social Innovations
Our project works focuses not on demographic developments themselves or the possibilities to influence them, but on how to shape communal life so that German society, as it ages and shrinks, will have a viable future.more
Federal and State Levels
In order to better respond to the consequences of demographic change at all levels of society and to promote the implementation of proposed strategies, we have committed ourselves to establishing a demographic network that brings together both state and federal actors. Our cross-state seminars are just one network-related tool. Moderated by the Bertelsmann Stiftung, the seminars serve as a platform for dialogue and exchange among administrators and experts throughout Germany.more

Audio Seminar
01.05.13 |
Have you ever been here? There's a particularly good sermon being preached. The congregation is engaged this morning. The pastor's on fire. And you're unusually focused. God is speaking to the church and the church is listening. It's a good service!
BUUUUZ… CRAAACK… WAAAAAH. Annoying mic interference breaks through the sound system and you sense the person to your left cringe at the screech. What's wrong with the pastor's microphone now? He motions for the audio tech. A temporary break follows. The pastor has lost precious attention and the listeners are annoyed.
How many times have you witnessed this awkward experience – too many? Poor equipment aside, another primary reason causing this situation is inexperienced sound volunteers. Even the most capable volunteers need training to function proficiently inside a sound booth. You don't have to be sound engineer to do the job well, but the operator must have basic audio skills and mixing techniques.
Family Life is hosting an audio seminar on Saturday, Feb 16 specifically designed to improve church sound. The seminar is fun, interactive and provides hands-on training for your sound and worship teams. Learn the secrets to better church sound and protect the ears of God's people!

Editor's Note: This profile of one of our Home of the Year winners originally ran in May of 2012. We're highlighting past winners in anticipation of the May 2013 release of the new Home of the Year winners. You'll want to check back in May, because the new winners are awesome.
Picture this: a primo apartment near New York City's Central Park and sporting some grand views of the city. All one needs is some music, video and a control system to add the necessary background ambiance. And the apartment was even gutted for renovations, which usually makes an installation easier. But a gut renovation in a high-rise New York City apartment can be a challenge for builders, architects, and interior designers alike. It is even more so for an audio-video contractor who is consulted late in the game. So electronics system installer Home Theater of Long Island (HTOLI) armed itself with a slick control system and some audio/video economy to provide an understated but powerful system.
Rotel components, Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) speakers and a Savant control system offer up tremendous audio, facile control, and equipment that would not overpower the room or detract from some of the best views of Manhattan.
The main hurdle was fitting all of the desired equipment in a cabinet that had already been built and installed. HTOLI had to find the appropriate equipment that would not only provide the level of performance and aesthetic requirements the owner sought, but would also fit within the cabinet. One of the first things Kaloma Smith, managing director of HTOLI, decided was to forgo a distributed audio system that would gobble up rack space, opting for two Rotel receivers instead. The receivers send music and soundtracks to B&W CM series bookshelf speakers and a B&W subwoofer, which Smith picked for their excellent sound quality in small, attractive packages. HTOLI also discretely hid two slide-out racks in the cabinet, maximizing real estate for components. A 55-inch Samsung TV, calibrated to ISF (Imaging Science Foundation) standards by video expert Kevin Miller, takes center stage when the owner wants to relax and watch sports or a movie.
In the bedroom, HTOLI worked with the homeowner to design a custom speaker and back plate from Leon speakers, along with custom LED lighting (see sidebar). To easily control the entire apartment, a Savant system handles audio/video, shades, lighting, and more, all at the touch of a button on one of the slick Savant Select remotes or from the homeowner's iPad.
"We did everything the client wanted and, considering this was a project where we could not make a lot of design decisions, it came out extremely well," says Smith. "We also gave him a tremendous amount of value by installing a system for under $50,000 in an apartment worth millions."

Smooth Vanilla Flavour Ground Coffee
Item Code: 302604 / Net weight: 120g / 4.23oz
Free delivery over £40
In stock
Premium Ground Arabica Coffee, flavouring
Brew a Perfect Cup
For the perfect cup of Smooth Vanilla flavour Coffee, always use fresh water, off the boil so you don't scald the coffee. Whittard's flavoured coffee is great for using with any type of coffee maker - follow the manufacturer's equipment instructions. Do not re-heat brewed coffee.
I love this. When you used to have your flavoured coffee on offer I always bought 3 Vanilla. Then you stopped the offer and I then tried to make my own with vanilla essence. Couldn't do it. So now I bite the bullet and whenever we come across one of your shops around England I stock up and ration myself in case I run out. As we live on our narrowboat we are not always close to any of your shops. I had hoped that you would have it in your sale- but you haven't.... Maybe next year?

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols
Matt Baxter-Reynolds
Best Argument: No
Audience Favored: No (50%)
The moderator has delivered a final verdict.
Opening Statements
Morning, August 26, 2033
Steven Vaughan-Nichols: Yawn!
Another late morning and I've got things to do and little time to do them. So, I blink twice to get the weather report. It's going to be another nice day here, but I have a flight to New York City later today.
So, I look to the left and my flight is still on schedule, let's see look left again and up, OK, it's still on time. I had been a little worried since LaGuardia flooded last year about this same time thanks to high tides and global warming. Oh well, at least the dikes are holding around Manhattan so I don't need to worry about wading to corporate headquarters at 28 E. 28.
As I brush my teeth, I get a flicker of green in my left eye. OK, wink for half-a-second and that call goes into voicemail. That reminds me though I haven't gotten breakfast started yet. Look to the right once, tap my little finger, and the toaster and tea pot kick on.
Breakfast done, I tap twice on the dining room table and the garage door opens and the car starts. I hop in, wait for the car to load the navigation module to my Google Go Contacts, blink twice, and point at the airport on the map in "front" of my eyes and I'm on my way.
How odd to think that people actually used to use separate devices for such common every days tasks. Heck, some folks actually used to think that wearable computers wouldn't take off. How quaint!
Still, I'm not so sure about actual cyborg implants, that's a little much for me. I'll just stick with my pocket, body-heat powered do-everything computer, and my integrated contact lens and "hearing" aid.
Tech will be carried, not worn
Matt Baxter-Reynolds: Last weekend I did a piece about how I'd downsized from a "fat, 1980s style" wallet, to a thin, 2013 wallet. In it there was a mild lament about how I had to carry a wallet even though I had enough technology on me on me at all times to replace the wallet.
I love my digital life. I love having my smartphone on me all the time connecting me 24/7 to the people and things that I love. But it's nice to have it in my pocket. It's not something I necessarily want to drape all over me everytime I leave the house to go to the shops. And I'm a technologist.
The point of technology in the post-PC era is that it stays in the background until you need it. It's hidden away, but close to hand. Wearables run against this idea, trying to make the technology as much of a part of your body as can be achieved without surgery.
The market for wearables is niche. Being able to slap a camera on you when you're skiing, mountain biking, BASE jumping, etc -- that makes sense. But for day-to-day living? Nuh-uh.

Consciousness In The Cell
The Device in Your Body that Can Copy a Million Pages of Information in Twenty Minutes
It's long been known that cells multiply by division. During this process, the DNA found in the nucleus of each cell needs to be copied for each new "daughter" cell. During this process of replication, an amazing event takes place that requires consideration.
DNA's data bank, made up of three billion letters, is able to store massive amounts of information concerning the living organism. To write down all the information contained in DNA would require an encyclopaedia of approximately 1,000 volumes, with a total of a million pages. Therefore, the replication of DNA and the copying of a million-page encyclopaedia are comparable. But do you know how long this process of DNA replication takes?
Between 20 and 80 minutes!
Now, that means that the equivalent of one million pages of writing can be copied, with no mistakes or deficiencies, in a period of less than two hours—and sometimes, under a half hour. No photocopier or any other technological device available today can complete this copying process faultlessly, in such a short period of time. And consider that no technological machines are carrying out this process, but cells that we cannot even see with the naked eye. Now ask yourself:
Who possesses the power and mind, will and knowledge to bring about this amazing organization? What realizes that the DNA must be copied when a cell divides? What brings about this replication in the fastest, most perfect way, and which allows for any mistakes to be fixed immediately?
Clearly, it's illogical and senseless to claim that this whole complex, faultless and perfect system came about as a result of coincidence. Bring together all of the atoms in the universe, under the proper conditions, and still you won't be able to create the system that carries out the replication of DNA in every living organism.
It is quite obvious that the One Who created this perfect system, Who has continued to create it for millions of years is God, the Possessor of infinite knowledge, consciousness, and power.
