Levi's Curve ID Jeans Launch: Free Jeans, Photos & Custom Fit Curves!
Thursday, September 16th, 2010 | Fashion, Free Stuff, Photos, Product Launches | 2 CommentsMeilily Hot Happenings & Photos: Levi's Curve ID Jeans Launch in SF with Free Jeans!
OK, what could be better than free jeans?! How about free Levi's Curve ID Jeans, a new product from Levi's specifically designed to fit more than just one type (er shape) of woman.
I recently attended a Levi's Curve ID launch event in San Francisco at the Union Square Levi's shop. I got to meet You Nguyen, SVP of Levi's Women's Merchandising and Design, who gave a demo that illustrated precisely why women traditionally have such a hard time finding jeans that fit based on size (but not shape). I even got to to try free Curve ID jeans!
*Friday, Sept. 17, 2010 Get a free pair of Levi's Curve ID jeans at the San Francisco Levi's store at 300 Post St. Just bring in an old pair of jeans to get free Curve ID jeans! First come first serve!
Photos and Details: How the New Curve ID Jeans Fit Different Women…
Levi's developed Curve ID jeans after researching body shape variations in women and surveying real women. The new jeans are sized not just by waist size but by the ratio or difference between a woman's natural waist, upper hip, and butt measurements- her real shape!
The Three Levi's Curve ID (Lower) Body Shape Types:
- Slight Curve (straighter from waist to butt)
- Demi Curve (average proportion between waist and butt)
- Bold Curve (more difference or curve between waist and butt)

Paul & Joe Cat Lipstick: Fall Limited Edition Photos & Details
Thursday, September 9th, 2010 | Makeup, Photos | 8 Comments
Meilily Product Pick for Cat-Lovers with Photos: Paul & Joe Cat-Shaped Lipstick!
The latest trend in Fall makeup collections is toward the feline (think MAC Fabulous Felines). So, have you seen the daringly cat-shaped lipstick by Paul & Joe Beaute yet?! It's THE hot product that seems to have started this latest round of kitty-inspired makeup.
The limited edition cat-shaped Paul & Joe Beaute Lipstick C for Fall 2010 comes in three sheer shades: Claire de Lune (66), Over the Moon (67), and Moon Shadow (68). Shown below, left to right.
Each Paul & Joe Fall Collection Limited Edition Lipstick C is made in Japan and comes in an eco-friendly paper tube, printed with a different design for each shade.
Best part? The lipstick tip is carved into the shape of a cat's head, perky ears and all! (Sometimes the cat looks to me like it has mustache, but it is a fun product nonetheless.)

Meilily Hot Happenings & Product Launch Details: Benefit Cosmetics Fall 2010!
I recently attended a fun Benefit Cosmetics preview party in San Francisco, and I got to try out and take home new Fall makeup from Benefit. I even got my brows done during the event and loved it! Benefit sure throws a mean party – cupcakes, cocktails, and all!
Now, I'm actually kinda excited about these new Benefit Fall products, because they're quite fun, and would probably work with a variety of skintones!

SF Barneys Warehouse Sale & Haul Photos: Suede Marni Heels
Monday, August 23rd, 2010 | Fashion, Hot Happenings, Photos, Sales, Shoes | Comments Off
Meilily Hot Happenings & Haul Report: Barneys Sale = Marni Heels!
This year, the Barneys Warehouse Sale in San Francisco coincided with the Renegade Craft Fair, both at Fort Mason Center. Genius! Be sure to check out Meilily's pics from the Craft Fair here.
SF Barneys Warehouse Sale Highlights:
Not expecting to find much, I headed straight for the Barneys Women's Shoes section at the back. (The women's handbag and accessories selection was dismal, btw.) The first Sunday of the SF sale wasn't too crowded and there was room to sit down and try on shoes. With shoes arranged by size in typical clearance fashion, only the right mate was available on the racks. Note: Each shoe box gets sealed with rope before you can take it over to the registers! Talk about security!
After trying on some ill-fitting Prada wedges and a chic Italian multi-strap zippered heel (just a little too large), I found some super-comfortable and cute Marni suede heels (photo below) that hugged my feet when I put them on. I was immediately sold!

Featured Look: Benefit Cosmetics SF Blogger Party Outfit by Polyvore
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010 | Fashion, Featured Looks, Hot Happenings, Makeup | 1 Comment
Check out Meilily's look from last night's Benefit Cosmetics blogger party at the San Francisco Benefit Boutique!
I attended the Benefit blogger event to preview their three new Fall 2010 products, and had a great time! What's not to love about meeting and chatting with Benefit's awesome Global Trend Artist, Annie Ford Danielson (daughter of one of Benefit's founding sisters), and also trying out hot new beauty products while sipping mini cocktails with cupcakes and grilled cheese from the new American Cupcake shop?! So glad I went!
Polyvore was there too, and they recreated my outfit as an online Polyvore set (see above). This works the same as creating a look on Shopstyle, and it's fun to do!
I actually wore a gray knit dress by Iisli, Carmen short boots by Frye, and a gray scarf from Target, but you get the picture. Check out the end result up on Polyvore!
Hope you enjoyed this look! from Meilily

Meilily Hot Happenings Recap! Favorites from the Renegade Craft Fair!
Had a great time at the Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco this past weekend! Did you go? Loved meeting tons of designers and supporting small/local businesses at the same time.
Some of my favorite designers from the 2010 SF Renegade Craft Fair:
- Nous Savons: Not only were the lapel necklaces unique and fun, but creator Jocelyn Nguyen was really sweet and friendly.
- Catia Chien: Illustrations – Delicate and beautiful. The children's books she illustrated looked great! (Btw: Catia's not listed on the Craft Fair artists page.)
- Souldier: Loved their reclaimed seat belt camera straps when I saw them on Photojojo – So many cool colors! Picked up a forest green camera strap, and I'm still trying to imagine the car it came from! (Souldier also makes guitar straps.)
- I Made You a Beard: Well-fitting well-made yarn beards. Need I say more?

Meilily Product Photos: L'Occitane Limited Edition Peony Makeup Collection!
Exciting news! L'Occitane's limited edition makeup collection is here! In select L'Occitane stores only, this rare garden-inspired Peony Makeup Collection is a must-see.
While wandering through a L'Occitane shop, I was drawn to a display of what appeared to be colorful flower seed packets. Imagine my surprise when I realized that L'Occitane, best known as a bath and skincare brand, has a new makeup collection out, and a pretty one at that. Each limited edition makeup shade is named after a particular peony.
Meilily's top picks from the L'Occitane Peony Makeup Collection:
- Liquid Shine Lip Colour in 01 Marie Riviere (a flattering medium-pigmented gloss inspired by a "delicate salmon-pink peony," according to L'Occitane)
- Facecolour Powder in 02 Valse de Vienne (a pretty "glossy pale pink" blush/eyeshadow)
- Lipstick in 03 Mme Louis Henry (a very sheer warm-pink shimmer lipstick inspired by "a pink peony with old-gold patina reflections")

Product Pick & Photos: Nervous System Jewelry – Algal Bloom Necklace
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010 | Jewelry, Photos, Product Picks | Comments Off
Meilily Product Pick & Photos: Nervous System Algal Bloom Necklace!
I first discovered Nervous System jewelry on Design Milk, when a white silicone rubber rodialaria necklace caught my eye, with its organic cells forming a sort of crystalline honeycomb blossom. I immediately picked up a large algal bloom necklace (shown here), a white rodialaria bracelet, and a small stainless steel rodialaria necklace. Love all of it!
Nervous System creates fascinating and unique modern jewelry based on natural geometries and system generated design. Their work is high quality, slightly geeky, and uber-gorgeous. Check out these photos!
This large Algal Bloom Necklace is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry from Nervous System, photographed here in gold. This necklace is gorgeous – I get compliments all the time. —› › Continue reading

Benefit Cosmetics: Moon Beam Highlighter Swatches & Photos

Meilily Product Photos & Swatches: Benefit Cosmetics Moon Beam Iridescent Complexion Enhancer!
Following on the success of their popular High Beam pink highlighting liquid, Benefit Cosmetics has created a new sister-product called Moon Beam. Moon Beam is a "golden apricot" illuminating liquid that is similar to High Beam but with pinkish iridescent shimmer instead of silver-pink iridescence.
Moon Beam comes in a glass bottle with a built-in nail polish brush cap. Since it is not a very runny formula, it is probably best blended with fingers or a sponge.

The 2008 Pinot Noir Le Caprice, which comes from the Reuling Vineyard, reveals smoky black cherry, raspberry, and spring flower aromas. The wine is fresh and medium to full-bodied with good acidity and outstanding length. Compared to their 2007 counterparts, the acid levels are high for both of these 2008s, but both wines are very concentrated, and best drunk in their first 5-7 years of life.
(2/ 2010)
Vivid red. Spicy raspberry and cherry-cola aromas are complicated by dried rose, incense and smoky minerals. Fresh, gently sweet and assertive, with spicy red and dark berry flavors and a lively mineral quality. Deeper notes of cola and Indian spices arrive on the finish, which is juicy, precise and very long. This is delicious now but the acidity bodes well for aging.

It seems it took not so much to root the nook. Now the hacking can start.
Image courtesy of Nook Devs
The guys at Nook Devs have opened the freshly released Barnes & Noble Nook and they found that the Android OS powering the eReader is installed on a removable MicroSD card.
Image courtesy of Nook Devs
Thus it was as simple as to pop the card out and insert it into a Linux box to gain root access (i.e. unlimited power!!) to the OS itself: thanks to rooting web browsing, tethering, and many other cool hacks could be realized on the Nook and expand the usage scenario of this eReader as well as the consumer interest for the device.
This could be a blessing, given the not so warm welcome given by some early adopters, like Judie at Gear Diary, whose first impressions are mostly on the negative side:
What I Like: Ability to expand memory by 16GB, making it up to 18GB — wow!; beautiful and solid hardware; the touchscreen is a neat feature; uses GSM, not CDMA — which means great reception in my part of the country; page turning buttons on both sides of the device; front is not cluttered with buttons; removable battery, beautiful hardware — I like it better than the Kindle 2; you can read eReader format books on the nook
What Needs Improvement: Packaging is a pain to open; eReader books must be read from documents, and their titles are garbled and there is no cover art; battery only lasts about two days; slow eInk refresh rate; multiple crashes, screen lags, false button presses, swiping doesn't always work, slow, slow … and did I mention S – L – O – W? Urgh.
While waiting anxiously the cool stuff that will (hopefully) come soon, you can visit Nook Devs to look at how to root the Nook.

The Godfather Collection gets release date for Blu-ray
By Tim Hanlon
July 2, 2008
The original Godfather film is widely regarded as one of the best films ever, with a #1 position on the top lists of both IMDB and Metacritic - and now it's coming to Blu-ray bundled with its two younger brothers.
A trilogy of this status deserves a high-quality Blu-ray release, so fans will be glad to hear Francis Ford Coppola and Director of Photography Gordon Willis have supervised an all new HD transfer of the film and a complete remastering specifically for this release, including a Dolby TrueHD soundtrack.
The Godfather Collection is set for release on September 23, 2008, and Amazon is taking pre-orders for $86.95.

DENVER (AP) -- The Denver City Council is considering settling a police-beating case by paying $360,000 to four women and their attorneys.
The Denver Post reports (http://bit.ly/1bx8uGq) the July 12, 2009, incident outside the Denver Diner was captured on the city's external surveillance cameras, prompting a lawsuit filed in federal court.
The suit claims officers punched, shoved, dragged, pepper-sprayed and threw the women to the ground outside the diner. The women allege constitutional violations by the officers, including using excessive force, making false arrests, hiding or making up evidence and violating civil rights.
The council is scheduled to consider the settlement Monday.

With Favre gone to the Jets, Rodgers starts Sunday night in Green Bay against the only team that's already had a good look at him. Just as it was last season, it's a marquee matchup - the teams were 10-1 when they met last season and each are 2-0 now.
ime time with little warning. Romo did do on a Monday night two years ago against the Giants when Drew Bledsoe was pulled.
After two games this month, Rodgers has completed 70 percent of his passes, hasn't thrown an interception in 42 attempts and has a superior passer rating of 117.8.
``He's making good decisions and he's being accurate with the football,'' coach Mike McCarthy says. ``He hasn't taken many chances, and that's all part of good quarterback play. He needs to continue to do that.''
Romo, who grew up in Wisconsin, has a lot of Favre in him. He can make big plays out of nothing, but he can also get himself into trouble, as he did Monday night in the 41-37 win over the Eagles, fumbling in his end zone to give Philadelphia a touchdown, in part because he tried to make a play instead of conceding a safety.
He's looking forward this week to performing in a historic venue.
``I'm a nostalgic person in a sense that I enjoy traditional things. I enjoy watching great players or great sporting events at a great atmosphere,'' Romo said. ``Lambeau Field obviously has great history and it's going to fun to go up there and be part of that a little bit.''
, yet got the advantage because Dallas lost the game that really counted, its opening playoff game.
But this is a chance to make a statement.
``You've got to play well in September to get to December,'' Dallas coach Wade Phillips says. ``You can look back at a lot of teams that didn't play well enough early and didn't make it. It's not only the last few games. It's the first games that count, too. They count them all.''
In other games Sunday, Houston is at Tennessee; Oakland at Buffalo; Carolina at Minnesota; Kansas City at Atlanta; Tampa Bay at Chicago; Arizona at Washington; Miami at New England; Cincinnati at the New York Giants; St. Louis at Seattle; Detroit at San Francisco; New Orleans at Denver; Cleveland at Baltimore; Jacksonville at Indianapolis; and Pittsburgh at Philadelphia.
The New York Jets are at San Diego on Monday night.
Jacksonville (0-2) at Indianapolis (1-1)
The Jaguars were a chic pick to end the Colts' run of five straight AFC South titles. After losses to Tennessee and Buffalo, they just need a win. The problem is injuries on the offensive line. The Jags depend more than most teams on the run, but both Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew are averaging less than 3 yards per carry.
arly in last week's game, threw two late touchdown passes, then drove his team into range for Adam Vinatieri's field goal that gave it 18-15 win. Credit the defense, too, for holding Minnesota without a touchdown.
Pittsburgh (2-0) at Philadelphia (1-1)
A 4-point loss in Dallas is no dishonor for the Eagles, especially since they outplayed the Cowboys for long stretches. They also have a deep threat in rookie DeSean Jackson, the first player since 1940 to start his career with two 100-yard receiving games. Although Andy Reid and his staff have to cure him of WSS (Wideout Showboat Syndrome) before it becomes a habit.
Pittsburgh already is in position for another AFC North title after winning in Cleveland. That was one of the weird weather games the Steelers often seem to play,although the forecast for Sunday in Philly is decent.
Carolina (2-0) at Minnesota (0-2)
Congratulations to John Fox for getting through two games against good opposition without Steve Smith, in part because Jonathan Stewart, one of a pack of good rookie running backs in the NFL, has averaged 5.4 yards per carry. And because Jake Delhomme is back in form after elbow surgery.
n for a team that spent millions elsewhere, but kept a youngster at QB. That was never going to happen.
New York Jets (1-1) at San Diego (0-2) (Monday night)
The Jets are up against it. Not only are the Chargers desperate to avoid an 0-3 start, but the officials owe them one after Ed Hochuli's acknowledged bad call cost them last week's game in Denver.
San Diego certainly shouldn't allow 486 yards this week, as it did in Denver. The Jets ran a conservative offense, running three times from the New England 3, then settling for a field goal despite Brett Favre's historic ability to throw short-range TD passes. The ESPN script calls for Tony Kornheiser to mention Favre on every first-half play before Mike Tirico and Ron Jaworski manage to shut him up.
New Orleans (1-1) at Denver (2-0)
The Broncos are averaging 40 points a game. And the Saints have the offensive weapons, even with Marques Colston out, to make this another 39-38 game. Statistics after two weeks are usually skewed, but this may be relevant: Denver ranks 27th in the NFL in yards allowed and New Orleans is 29th.
ffrey are retired, so there are 80 numbers available.
Houston (0-1) at Tennessee (2-0)
The Texans' enforced week off was hardly a vacation, thanks to Hurricane Ike. ``I feel very lucky,'' said DE Mario Williams, Houston's top defensive player. ``My area is very bad. There's tons of trees that are down, lots of trees that fell through houses, but thank goodness no one was injured.''
The Titans have allowed just 17 points in wins over Jacksonville and Cincinnati and are efficient enough with Kerry Collins that he may remain the starter when Vince Young is ready. Collins, who needs 90 yards to become the 15th QB to reach 35,000 yards passing, is part of the '90s revival - Gus Frerotte and Kurt Warner also are starting.
Oakland (1-1) at Buffalo (2-0)
Darren McFadden and Michael Bush led the way in the Raiders' first 300-yard rushing game in 21 years in a 23-8 win over Kansas City. Still, rumors persist that Al Davis is about to fire coach Lane Kiffin. ``There are certain things I can control, there's certain things I can't,'' Kiffin said. ``He has a decision to make. It does me no good to worry about it right now.''
other young QBs stumbling, does anyone notice Trent Edwards, a third-round pick last year who has a passer rating of 107.7?
Miami (0-2) at New England (2-0)
Here's news: Bill Belichick, who always says every opponent is great, acknowledged this week that the 2007 1-15 Dolphins weren't very good. ``I think they are greatly improved from where they were last year,'' he said of this year's version.
Matt Cassel's first start was his first win, 19-10 over the Jets last week. One sign of Brady's absence: New England has 36 points in two wins this season after getting 38 in each of its first two last season. To Belichick, a win is a win.
Arizona (2-0) at Washington (1-1)
The historically challenged Cardinals last started 2-0 in 1991, and Warner had a perfect passer rating of 158.3 last week against Miami.
``There's reason to be proud of our accomplishment,'' says linebacker Chike Okeafor. ``But it's just two games. It's just a start. Football is a game of 'forget.' You forget about what you did last week or yesterday, and you just move on.''
The Redskins are probably the worst team in the NFC East, but might be the favorite if they were in the West, where the Cardinals reside. Warner turns the ball over under pressure, a problem if Jason Taylor is healthy.
ork Giants (2-0)
The Giants have been inconsistent on offense, but have outscored Washington and Cincinnati by a combined 57-20 and are getting back the respect they earned during their Super Bowl run. Eli Manning's passer rating of 131.4 against St. Louis was the second best of his career; he was a point higher in the playoff win in Dallas last January.
Carson Palmer is last in the NFL at 37.1, although to be fair, last week's loss to Tennessee was played in 50 mph winds. The wide receivers, T.J. Houshmandzadeh and the guy who changed his name, have only 11 catches between them.
Cleveland (0-2) at Baltimore (1-0)
The Ravens were the party of the second part in the hurricane-forced postponement of last Sunday's game in Houston. It gave time off that allowed a few players to heal, but it means there will be no bye later, when more players are likely to be banged up.
The Browns are another of those 0-2 teams with high expectations that suddenly find themselves facing a turning point in the third week. They have scored just 16 points in home losses to Dallas and Pittsburgh after averaging 25 per game in a 10-6 season a year ago.
Tampa Bay (1-1) at Chicago (1-1)
o in Jon Gruden's always changeable stable of quarterbacks.
The Bears are silent about their best big-play threat, Devin Hester, who injured his ribs last week. Kyle Orton is the QB now and rookie Matt Forte is averaging 108 yards per game and 4.7 yards per carry.
St. Louis (0-2) at Seattle (0-2)
The Seahawks are winless in part because every experienced receiver has been hurt and Matt Hasselbeck has a bad back. The defense also has underachieved.
This could be the perfect time to get well against a team that has been outscored 79-16 and hasn't had a snap inside an opponent's 20-yard-line. The only TD came on a 45-yard pass in the 41-13 loss to the Giants that was deflected twice by New York's Kenny Phillips and fell to Torry Holt on the ground.
Detroit (0-2) at San Francisco (1-1)
The 49ers, who went straight from the top of the NFL to the bottom, may have a chance to be at least mediocre this year. New coordinator Mike Martz, with career third-stringer J.T. O'Sullivan at QB, seems to have invigorated an offense that scored an NFL-worst 219 points last season.
deficit to briefly lead 25-24.
Kansas City (0-2) at Atlanta (1-1)
Matt Ryan, who came back to earth last week against Tampa's difficult defense, is matched up against a QB with less experience and far less money: the Chiefs' Tyler Thigpen, forced to start by injuries to Brodie Croyle and Damon Huard.
Thigpen's presence could make it hard for Tony Gonzalez to reach a career milestone he'll eventually get of most career yards receiving by a tight end. He needs 85 yards to pass Shannon Sharpe, who leads with 10,060.

Brush fire burns 3 acres near Kernan Lake Circle
The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded to a brush fire at 5:17 p.m. Thursday in the 3100 block of Kernan Lake Circle off Kernan Lake Drive.
The fire burned about three acres. No injuries were reported, and no homes were in danger at any time, firefighters said.
Firefighters did not know a cause for the fire, but they said flames traveled across drainage lines in the wooded area, which made it difficult for fire crews to get in to put the fire out.
As of 9 p.m., the fire was contained and crews were leaving the area.

A material developed at Virginia Commonwealth University to stop heaving bleeding in wounded soldiers has been given the green light from the FDA.
The FDA has approved WoundStat for use on humans and commercial
sale. When the material is applied with pressure to a hemorrhaging wound, the material forms a seal to stop rapid blood loss. Tests show the substance stopped lethal hemorrhaging within two minutes.
Bethesda, Maryland-based TraumaCure plans to start offering WoundStat to U.S. military forces by late fall, followed by first responders such as firefighters and emergency medical technicians.

Tea Party Wants To Get Rid of Boehner. Says Charlie Sheen Makes More Sense.
Make him cry.
The leader of Tea Party Nation declared Wednesday that House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) looks "like a fool" and should be defeated in a primary, tearing into him for not pushing larger budget cuts more aggressively.
"There is no other way to put this," Judson Phillips wrote on the Tea Party Nation's website. "The Tea Party movement should find a candidate to run against John Boehner in 2012 and should set as a goal, to defeat in a primary, the sitting Speaker of the House of Representatives."
The remarks reflect a rift between the GOP establishment and its base after tea party activists help propel Republicans to a dramatic takeover of the House and an expanded presence in the Senate last November.
Now, they're demanding the steep spending cuts they were promised.
"Early on, the GOP promised to cut $100 billion from the budget. The Republicans in the House quickly went squishy on that and had to be cajoled into cutting only $61 billion," Phillips wrote. "Now, John Boehner is saying when the Senate comes back and they start negotiating with 'Dingy' Harry Reid, who does not want to make any cuts, the $61 billion figure is not safe."
The tea party leader castigated Boehner for saying Republicans fulfilled their promise to cut spending.
"Charlie Sheen is now making more sense than John Boehner," Phillips wrote.

Muscle Blood Flow
During exercise, blood flow increases in working muscle as a function of workload, and the relationship is quite linear (Saltin et al. 1998). Muscle perfusion during exercise for a sedentary individual is about 250 milliliters per minute in 100 grams of tissue, and it can rise to 400 milliliters per minute in trained athletes (Saltin et al. 1998; Saltin 2007). Mechanical and biochemical mechanisms cause this increased muscle blood flow. However, the blood available for exercising muscles is not limitless—exercising at a high intensity with 15 kilograms of muscle (about 50% of the total muscle mass of a 75-kilogram man) can exceed the heart's capacity to supply blood. Athletes such as cross-country skiers, who use their arms and legs at relatively high intensities for prolonged durations, experience this limit in blood availability. Therefore, there must be in place mechanisms that increase blood flow when there is metabolic demand as well as mechanisms that cause active muscles to undergo some level of vasoconstriction during exercise (Rowell 1997). During high blood flow, sympathetically mediated vasoconstriction is necessary to maintain peripheral resistance in order to maintain blood pressure (Saltin 2007). When metabolic rates and blood flow demands are high, such as when the arms and legs are working simultaneously, noradrenaline spillover from the legs helps to counteract the strong local vasodilator signals and helps to maintain central pressure.
Here we discuss some of the general physiological mechanisms that maintain blood pressure when muscle demands for oxygen delivery are high and also the local mechanisms that match blood flow to metabolic demand. As we shall see, there are many proposed mechanisms controlling exercise blood flow, with perhaps a significant degree of redundancy, so that finding the role played by individual mechanisms has not been possible to date.
Oxygen Delivery as the Regulated Parameter
What is the regulated variable in blood flow regulation? It appears to be oxygen delivery, and not blood flow per se, at least from studies in which arterial oxygen content has been decreased. Flow adjusts accordingly to achieve the appropriate oxygen delivery to the working muscle (Marsh and Ellerby 2006). The regulation of blood flow by oxygen delivery appears to be restricted to the oxygen bound to hemoglobin, since experiments have shown a close relationship between blood flow and oxygen bound to hemoglobin, independent of partial pressure of oxygen in blood (Gonzalez-Alonso et al. 2001). The relationship between blood flow and oxygen demand is also supported by the observation that blood flow appears to be a linear function of oxygen consumption, independent of the fiber type composition of the muscle (Marsh and Ellerby 2006). In addition, blood flow is related more to the metabolic rate of the contractile activity than to the work performed (Hamann et al. 2004, 2005).
There are several ways in which blood flow may be regulated by the oxygen content of the blood and, more specifically, the saturation level of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin may, via conformational and redox transitions, stimulate the release of vasodilator substances such as nitric oxide (NO), S-nitrosylated thiols, nitrite, and adenosine
triphosphate (ATP). Such a mechanism would help explain the close relationship between venous hemoglobin saturation and venous blood flow (Calbet et al. 2007; Gonzalez-Alonso et al. 2001).
Functional Sympatholysis
A rise in sympathetic nerve activity with exercise causes vasoconstriction in nonmuscular regions and also in inactive and active muscles. Mechanisms are in place to override active muscle vasoconstriction in an attempt to match blood flow to metabolic demand while maintaining blood pressure. One way this occurs is via functional sympatholysis, which is an inhibition of the sympathetically mediated vasoconstrictor response in active muscle as long as blood pressure is maintained. This is probably due to substances produced in the contracting muscle that inhibit alpha-1 or alpha-2 adrenergic receptor activation by the noradrenalin (NA) released from the nerve terminals. NO may be the blocker, although conflicting results have been reported (Dinenno and Joyner 2003; Saltin 2007; Tschakovsky and Joyner 2008; see later discussion). Adenosine may also play this role. It has also been demonstrated that the receptors for endothelin-1 (ET-1), endothelin receptor type A (ETA) and type B (ETB), may also play a role in muscle blood flow regulation during exercise. Like the blunting of adrenoreceptor sensitivity that occurs with exercise, responsiveness to the powerful vasoconstrictor ET-1 is also diminished during exercise by currently unknown metabolic mechanisms (Wray et al. 2008).

original pilgrims and the Plymouth Rock
USS Plymouth Rock, a 11,270-ton Thomaston class dock landing ship, was built at Pascagoula, Mississippi. Commissioned on November 29, 1954, she was assigned to the Atlantic Fleet. Over the next three decades, Plymouth Rock deployed regularly to the Caribbean area, made several cruises with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean, and occasionally visited northern Europe and South America. She also participated in Arctic Distant Early Warning (DEW) Line support operations in 1955 and 1957, a Project "Mercury" space flight support mission in 1961, the Cuban Missile Crisis blockade in 1962, the Palomares nuclear weapons recovery effort in 1966, weapons development efforts, disaster relief undertakings, and a large number of Amphibious exercises. USS Plymouth Rock was decommissioned in September 1983. Following a decade in the Reserve Fleet, she was sold for scrapping in September 1995.
(Dock Landing Ship)
This hybrid sea going vessel was initially conceived in November, 1941. As the design progressed and developed, the Tank Landing Craft (TLC) was re-designated an Artillery Transport, Mechanized (APM) - 8 vessels (APM 1-8), were authorized for the U. S. Navy and 7 vessels - (BAPM 1-7) were ordered for the Royal Navy under the Lend Lease Act. Before actual construction of these 15 vessels began, the designator was again changed, this time, to Landing Ship, Dock (LSD). The Navy twice expanded orders of the design during WWII - first to total 19 vessels, then to total 27 LSDs.
Landing Ship, Docks (LSDs) were designed to transport loaded landing craft, amphibious vehicles and troops into an amphibious landing area; ballast down to flood their well decks; lower the stern gate to the sea, and disembark their craft and vehicles for the assault on a hostile beach. Once a beachhead was established, they acted as offshore repair docks for damaged ships, craft and vehicles up to Landing Ship Medium (LSM) and Landing Ship Infantry (LSI) sizes. In at least one reported case, the bow of a Destroyer Escort (DE) was docked for emergency repairs. Equipped with their long dry docks; shipfitter's shop; machine shop; and a carpentry shop; these vessels were able to handle extensive repairs at the scene of the assault. The first 27 of the LSD design were considered prototypes. As soon as one LSD was launched, commissioned and tested in actual combat conditions, successive launchings of the LSDs reflected the latest improvements in armament and transport capacity with their "super" or "portable" prefabricated decks. The end result, is that no two LSDs of the World War II design are exactly alike!
The current Harper's Ferry Class
(LSD-49 thru LSD 52) can deliver up to two LCAC (Landing Craft, Air Cushion) or a larger
number of conventional landing craft, plus transport some 402 Marines, as well as an
additional short distance transport of 102 more. There are also two other classes
currently in operation; Whidbey Island LSD-41 thru LSD-48, and Anchorage class, LSD-36
thru LSD40. The Whidbey Island class can carry up to 4 LCAC while the
others can only
carry two.

The most optimistic projection is provided by a sociologist at the University of Lethbridge, Reginald Bibby. Bibby has been charting the status of churches in Canada for 35 years. Bibby's optimism is based on three assumptions: more . . .

Is it permissible for a Roman Catholic to be married in the Anglican Church? Is it right to receive communion in the Anglican Church if I attend a service there? Someone told me the two churches are the same and I disagree. more . . .
Over the last 31 issues of the WCR, these articles have attempted to give our readers more of a taste, a feel, for the action of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in our Church. more . . .
Big mistake!! Big mistake from the point of view of efficient use of time. As I prepared this text, the name Jericho took me to the Internet and its helpmate, Google Earth. more . . .
Several years ago, a friend shared this story with me: Raised a Roman Catholic and essentially faithful in going to church and in trying to live an honest moral life, he found himself, in his mid-forties, plagued by doubts, unable to pray and unable (when he was honest with himself) to even believe in the existence of God. more . . .
Overestimating the importance at this time of the canonization of Alfred Bessette, Montreal's Brother André, would be nearly impossible. At a time when the Church is portrayed primarily as an institution, often an unsavoury institution, Brother André shows that the Church is, above all, holiness. The Church is a healing touch; it is the mercy of God in our midst. more . . .
The Oct. 17 canonization of Brother André of Montréal is a moment of pride for Canada's Catholics, but something of a challenge too. How best to take advantage of the grace of this occasion? more . . .

Re: 5D Mark III + 100-400L + Kenko 1.4X DGX Autofocus?
Thank you so much for all the comments. Since my last post I have had a chance to use the 5D Mark III + 100-400mm + Kenko 1.4x combination quite a bit. I was initially hoping to shoot raptors but haven't found the time so I have instead been practicing on shore birds. In general the combination works very well and I plan to continue using it for birding when I am focal length limited.
You can, for example, see a sequence of 6 consecutive frames (all sharp and in-focus) shot with the combination at 560mm f/8 here:
Here is a closer view of frame 4 in the sequence:
Pros of using extender:
1) Images are still sharp and I get greater detail than without the extender.
2) All 41 cross-type AF points work!
3) Tracking sensitivity is as good as bare lens.
4) The subject fills up more of the viewfinder and covers a larger number of cross-type AF points on the 5D3 for focusing and tracking. This is actually a huge benefit that I didn't appreciate until I started using the combination out in the field.
1) Initial focus acquisition seems a tad slower than the bare lens.
2) Noticeable purple fringing at the corners. While easy to correct in LR4, it is still annoying.
3) Slight decrease in contrast.
4) Biggest issue is the most obvious one - now the combination is an f/8.0 lens, which really doesn't let much light in and won't blur the background as much as with a faster lens. This is the main reason I hope to upgrade to a faster lens when funds permit, but for now I'm happy with the combination.
5D Mark III; Sony A7r; Samyang 14mm f/2.8; EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II; EF 24-70mm f/4.0L IS; EF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6L IS; EF 85mm f/1.8; EF 500mm f/4L IS I

every thing was great quick service in and out
Brett was very helpful and is truly an asset to your company!
Didn't understand purpose of tow/ haul button on the end of the shift selector & forgot to ask. Used a dolley & it worked great. Thanks!
She was experienced and quite knowledgable.
First time we used this location. Excellent, friendly service!
We have rented from this facility several times. The employees have always provided outstanding customer service. Equipment is always in excellent condition.
I receive speeding friendly servicet. The equipment was perfect it was a very good experience.
You could start by making sure that the vehicles are in decent condition before renting them. I suggest doing a walk around inspection with the customer before they drive away... Worst ecperience EVER!
Rental was moved without my knowledge. Customer rep said I was texted the change, but was never received. The phone call confirmation was verified to be at the orginal place. Completely disappointed
Very easy to reserve the van, customer service at the pickup was very knowledgeable and friendly, and since our trip ended up being different (mileage-wise) than originally thought, we were surprised and satisfied that the rate had been automatically changed to what would cost us the least amount of money.
I appreciate the friendliness and efficiency of your staff. Thank you.
Great work, keep it up !
I can't think of anything you could do to improve my moving experience unless you came along to help. The equipment was in excellent condition and the customer rep was perfect.
Every thing went smoothly thanks again
Actually a very good experience. Employees were very helpful. Truck was newer and ran well and was clean.
I began my day with a truck from Springfield Ohio. It was an older model, clean but showing a lot of wear. Drove it from Springfield to Columbus Ohio. Brakes failed as I exited I-70 to West Broad St. Fortunately a U-Haul dealer was on W Broad St and exchanged the truck. Staff was friendly and helpful. No complaints except for the brake failure. No accident and I was back on my way without loosing much time. Thank you, I'll use U-Haul again.
The size truck I ordered and reserved was not available when I went to pick it up. Instead I was given a size larger that was harder to drive and did not get as good mph. Will not be using this location again.
Check the light inside of trailer before renting it out. Our light did not work and it had gotten dark outside and it was a big inconvenience
We were not pleased that the items we ordered and pre-paid (20 furniture pads and push-cart) were NOT available when we picked up the truck. When we returned to the location to pick up these items, we were given poor customer service and told that we would have to purchase these items (again). After much conversation-and time wasted, the pads were provided. That was the only negative experience, but it did leave a bad-taste in our customer service experience.
Every thing went great check in check out.Thanks to you and your crew.
I entered everything on the computer, I had every thing pre approved and didn't have to wait in line nor did I have to wait for them to put all my information in rhe computer which was so nice.
Please allow me to just summarize:
1) I ordered a 17 ft. vehicle...got a 26...which was OK since the price was the same.
2) No blankets as ordered in the vehicle. Had to drive back to get them.
3) Transmission was acting up as soon as we left the lot. Hard shifts when gearing down.
4) Side-view small round mirrors were both broken and hanging down. No value or use.
5) An advertisement sign was still on the vehicle when we left and it blew out in the road in traffic. An oversight...but shows lack of checking out the vehicle.
6) Vehicle was rough for sure. Ran terrible. Tires badly worn.
Not a good vehicle to be renting out without proper service. Would only rent this vehicle within a 10 mile radius.
Truck was in horrible operating shape. Made reservation 3 weeks out for a utility dooly and day of pick up we were told they got swamped the day before so they had none left for us! Not Happy At All with This U-Haul.... Never rent from them again!
thought it was bull i live in urbana n thier shop closed so i had to rentfrom springfield which cist me more money..nit happy at all...probally last time i use uhaul
Very nice people very nice place

|MANCHESTER UNITED PLC: 2014 First Quarter Results
For fiscal 2014,
This assumes the team finishes third in the
* Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted profit for the period and adjusted basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share are non-IFRS measures. See "Non-IFRS Measures: Definitions and Use" below and the accompanying Supplemental Notes for the definitions and reconciliations for these non-IFRS measures and the reasons we believe these measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Group's financial condition and results of operations.
Commercial revenue for the quarter was £59.9 million, an increase of £16.9 million, or 39.3%, over the prior year quarter.
Broadcasting revenue for the quarter was £19.3 million, an increase of
£5.6 million, or 40.9%, over the prior year quarter, due to increased
revenue from the
Matchday revenue for the quarter was £19.3 million compared to £19.6 million in the prior year quarter, which included one-off fees earned from the staging of Olympic Games football matches at Old Trafford whereas the current year quarter included fees earned from participating in this season's Community Shield match which we did not participate in last season.
Operating expenses
Total operating expenses for the quarter were £90.2 million, an increase of £15.4 million, or 20.6%, over the prior year quarter.
Staff costs
Staff costs for the quarter were £52.9 million, an increase of £12.6
million, or 31.3%, over the prior year quarter. This increase was
primarily due to the impact of a full period of wage costs relating to
players signed part way through the prior year quarter, contractual
player wage increases and bonuses associated with the growth of our
commercial business. Additionally, the prior year quarter benefitted
from a one-off receipt of £1.3 million in respect of players on
International duty at
Other operating expenses
Other operating expenses for the quarter were £23.4 million, an increase of £3.7 million, or 18.8%, over the prior year quarter primarily due to increased pre-season tour travel costs, and higher gateshare payments to domestic cup opponents and sponsorship servicing.
Depreciation & amortization of players' registrations
Depreciation for the quarter was £2.0 million, an increase of £0.1
million, or 5.3%, over the prior year quarter. Amortization of players'
registrations was £11.9 million, £2.1 million or 21.4% higher than the
prior year quarter. The unamortized balance of players' registrations at
Net finance costs
Net finance costs for the quarter were £9.8 million, a decrease of £2.6 million, or 21.0%, over the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a £4.1 million reduction in interest payable on our secured borrowings and a £7.8 million reduction in premium paid and accelerated amortization related to the senior secured note repurchases in the prior year quarter; partially offset by a £7.6 million gain on re-translation of our US dollar borrowings in the prior year quarter.
More recently, we have entered into a floating to fixed interest rate
swap on our
The tax credit for the quarter was £0.2 million, compared to a credit of
£26.5 million in the prior year quarter (which predominantly related to
the recognition of a deferred tax asset for the US tax basis inherited
Cash flows
Net cash generated from operating activities for the quarter was £23.2 million, an increase of £13.9 million, primarily due to a £15.4 million reduction in interest paid.
Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment for the quarter was £4.1 million, £0.7 higher than the £3.4 million in the prior year quarter.
Net player capital expenditure for the quarter was £26.8 million, a decrease of £2.7 million from the prior year quarter.
Net cash used in financing activities for the quarter was £0.1 million, a decrease of £7.6 million from £7.5 million net cash generated in the prior year quarter. In the prior year quarter the Company raised £70.3 million from our IPO, the proceeds of which were used to repurchase a portion of our US dollar denominated senior secured notes, comprising a principal value of £62.6 million and a premium on repurchase of £5.3 million.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on such statements because they are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties relating to the Company's operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many are beyond the Company's control. Forward-looking statements include information concerning the Company's possible or assumed future results of operations, including descriptions of its business strategy. These statements often include words such as "may," "might," "will," "could," "would," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "intend," "seek," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "contemplate," "possible" or similar expressions. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on our current expectations and estimates of future events and trends, which affect or may affect our businesses and operations. You should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect its actual financial results or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in these forward-looking statements. These factors are more fully discussed in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in the Company's Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-182535) and the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F (File No. 001-35627).
1. Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit for the period before depreciation, amortisation of, and profit on disposal of, players' registrations, exceptional items, net finance costs, and tax credit.
We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period and among companies as it is reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance, and it removes the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortisation), capital structure (primarily finance costs), and items outside the control of our management (primarily taxes). Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. A reconciliation of profit for the period to adjusted EBITDA is presented in supplemental note 2.
2. Adjusted profit/(loss) for the period (i.e. Adjusted Net Income/(Loss))
Adjusted profit/(loss) for the period is the adjusted profit/(loss) for the period attributable to owners of the parent, calculated, where appropriate, by adding the profit for the period attributable to non-controlling interest to the (loss)/profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent, adjusting for material charges related to the IPO, the repurchase of senior secured notes, foreign exchange losses/gains on US dollar denominated bank accounts and borrowings, and fair value movements on derivative financial instruments, subtracting the actual tax credit for the period, (subtracting)/adding the adjusted tax (expense)/credit for the period (based on an normalized tax rate of 35%; 2012: 35%) and subtracting the profit for the period attributable to non-controlling interest. The normalized tax rate of 35% is management's estimate of the tax rate likely to be applicable to the Group in the long-term.
We believe that in assessing the comparative performance of the business, in order to get a clearer view of the underlying financial performance of the business, it is useful to strip out the distorting effects of material charges related to 'one-off' transactions such as the IPO (including the associated recognition of deferred tax assets or liabilities) and repurchase of senior secured notes, plus the impact of foreign exchange reflected in the retranslation of the US dollar denominated bank accounts and borrowings, and in the fair value movement on derivative financial instruments; and then to apply a 'normalized' tax rate (for both the current and prior periods) of the US statutory rate of 35%. We have refined the calculation of adjusted profit/(loss) by also now adjusting for foreign exchange losses/gains on US dollar denominated bank accounts and borrowings and fair value movements on derivative financial instruments. A reconciliation of (loss)/profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent to adjusted profit/(loss) for the period attributable to owners of the parent is presented in supplemental note 3.
3. Adjusted basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share
Adjusted basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by dividing the adjusted profit/(loss) for the period attributable to owners of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, and is presented in supplemental note 3.
*Subject to changes in broadcasting scheduling
