Buffett Initiates Verisign Stake, Adds to IBM
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) initiated a stake in Internet-infrastructure specialist Verisign (VRSN), according to the latest 13F regulatory filings.
Warren Buffett's holding company opened a position in Verisign with 3,685,700 shares. Berkshire also started a stake in food-processing giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), with 5,956,600 shares.
Shares of VeriSign, which provides domain name registry services, closed up 0.2% to $45.67 during Thursday's trading. The company's stock has risen almost 9% during the past three months.
Buffett's fund, which announced a $28 billion deal to acquire H.J. Heinz (HNZ) on Thursday, also increased its stakes in a host of companies, including DIRECTV (DTV), General Motors (GM) and IBM (IBM), according to the 13Fs.Berkshire increased its DIRECTV stake by 4,481,900 shares, taking its position to 34,037,500 shares. The company took its GM position to 25 million shares from 15 million. The Oracle of Omaha made a more modest increase to his IBM holding, adding 597,588 shares, bringing Berkshire's total to 68,115,484. Buffett, who has traditionally avoided tech stocks, initiated a position in IBM in 2011, revealing that he was won over by IBM's 2010 annual report and the company's history of strong leadership. The billionaire, who subsequently increased his position, also lauded IBM's extensive reach into corporate IT departments, where it sells a vast array of wares. -- Written by James Rogers in New York Follow @jamesjrogers >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Huge thanks to Danielle Omar and her delicious looking Watermelon Gazpacho recipe that I pinned the other day for the inspiration for this latest Instameals recipe...

Stay Fit This Summer Family Style {Fun Giveaway Too!}
Note: The Giveaway has ended... The kids have been out of school for 2 weeks now, so my fitness routine {if you can call it a routine since I am used to "last minute" workouts right before the kids get out of school} has become a little wonky. Not wonky as in "bad wonky", but wonky as in "good wonky" :-) Instead of bemoaning the lack of time I have to exercise this summer, I've decided to suck it up and embrace the chaos in my life with the kids out of school, and stay fit with them family style. One thing my kids and their friends … [Read more...]
Roasted Potato Salad Nicoise
This is a story of a love affair between the ever so humble potato and the even humbler more humble green bean. Alone, they are quite delicious enough in my opinion {unless said green beans come from a can-no thank you}, but marry them with diced red spring onions, kalamata olives, and a simple dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, and golden balsamic vinegar, and they make your mouth sing with pure delight. Yellow Potatoes loaded with nutrients to promote good health.... Gorgeous "Red" Green Beans from Suzies Farm at the Hillcrest Farmers … [Read more...]
Farmers Market Finds: Nagoya Kale, Orange Honey Almonds, and the Chubbiest Carrots Ever!
In my other life {pre- kids and husband}, I used to go to the Del Mar Farmer's Market almost every weekend. It was easy. I walked out the front door of my {tiny} white washed brick cottage, headed to the street, turned left, went 1/8 of a mile down the hill, and there I was. Right in the midst of a bounty of seasonal and local produce, vibrantly colored fresh flowers, and {in my gluten-eating days} the tastiest Gyros I can recall ever eating. But then life got in the way. Marriage...a baby...a move...another baby...two more … [Read more...]

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Camels and Camels Milk…But Were Too Afraid to Ask!
OK. So maybe you haven't been lying awake sleeplessly at night, wondering about camel's milk and camels... BUT, camels, as I have recently discovered, can be really sweet, fun animals, and the nutritional makeup of their milk is really quite intriguing as well! If you're wondering where all this camel talk is coming from, let me tell you about the adventure my 4th grade Girl Scout troop just had at a camel farm. This past week, we took a trip to the Oasis Camel Dairy in Ramona, California. Once we entered the gate, we were greeted … [Read more...]
Kitchen Inspiration
Yesterday, I was doing a little eavesdropping on Chowhound. The topic du jour was, "What are your top 5 favorite kitchen tools?" Lots of comments were pouring in with things like: My knife set...My Le Creuset Dutch oven {On my personal wish/covet list!}...My coffee maker...My granite counter tops... You get the picture. The comments were all about "functional" items that make cooking easier. Now, I will definitely agree that these "functional" items are of key importance in the kitchen if you want to prepare healthy, delicious meals, but … [Read more...]

Ultra-private Garner and Ben Affleck neither confirmed their April 2005 engagement nor acknowledged the pregnancy rumors shortly afterward. They instead opted to go on the record about their hush-hush June wedding. "We were able to have a beautiful, private wedding, and I couldn't be happier," she said, six months before daughter Violet's birth.

MaeTyner:I have never heard of this I have and u/s at every appointment.
are you high risk? I get one at every appt (every 2 - 3 weeks) too, due to being high risk. But for most normal pregnancies this would not be the case.
Which seems a little bit too far in the other direction!MaeTyner:I have never heard of this I have and u/s at every appointment.
My insurance covers 3 u/s of my provider's choosing, any above that have to be preapproved. I think it's a pretty reasonable approach.
I have never heard of the anatomy scan not being covered.
staycee:the 20w u/s is an anatomy scan - not a gender check. They measure every bit of the baby and look for any warning markers and such. Finding out the gender then is usually just an added bonus.
This. The wording I received today about fees and procedures "We do not do ultrasounds for the purpose of determining the sex of the baby. We only perform ultrasounds based on medical reasons."
Hence, the 20w u/s is for medical reasons not specifically for determining teh sex of the baby.

Butter Lettuce with Apples, Walnuts, and Pomegranate Seeds Reviews
Bon Appétit | January 2012
The Dandelion, Philadelphia, PA
reviews & comments (14)
Great salad! I made for a dinner party and everyone loved it. The dressing is delicious with the butter lettuce, apples etc. I am not usually a fruit on salad person but I loved this. Left out the taragon since I made this right before dinner and I was too lazy to run out to the herb garden! Served with a pork loin roast and mustard crusted potatoes. Delish. Can't wait to have leftovers.
This recipe was a total hit with my card group! Pomegranate seeds were not in season so I substituted dried cherries and WOW! The tarragon leaves are a nice added flavor. The dressing is nice to use with any salad.
Exceptional salad! I have made this several times for differenet groups and ALWAYS get compliments and/or requests for the recipe. The dressing is key!.I do sub feta for blue cheese. I think any lettuce works but I like the butter lettuce. Have also subbed dried cranberries when I don't have pomegranate seeds handy. Equally good I think.
Made this recipe as written for a dinner party and it was very good. Ive since also modified it into a healthier/every day version with spinach instead of butter lettuce (tarragon optional), toasted walnuts instead of sugared and no oil in the dressing - less sophisticated but also pretty good.
This is an exceptional salad with many interesting flavors in the mix, one of the best salad recipes in a long time. As to the previous reviewer who was not able to find pomegranate seeds.....well you need buy a fresh pomegranate available at most large grocers.
The dressing for this salad was awesome, as for the salad I was unable to find butter lettuce so I used Green Leaf lettuce, though next time I will use field greens, I also could not find pomegranate seeds and instead of glazed walnuts I used glazed pecans, I used feta crumbles instead of blue cheese and granny smith green apple instead of Fiji....but with these changes the salad was a huge hit!! I will make this again for sure!
I made this for Superbowl and all the women raved it and wanted the recipe. The men, well, they gravitated toward the dips, roast beef and potatoes...wouldn't even try it. I guess Superbowl wasn't a salad kind of day for them!
Has become my salad favorite--everyone loves it--I cube the apple and coarsely chop tarragon--also any crisp tart sweet apple is fine.
This salad hits on all cylinders - sweet, salt, umami, sour, even bitter (just a bit, from the kernel of the pomegranate seeds). Absolutely delicious. If I were to make one change, it would be to reduce or eliminate the honey in the dressing, but that may be due to the level of candy on the walnuts I used. The fresh tarragon leaves are a stroke of genius.

Alison Krauss & Union Station - Lonely Runs Both Ways (CD, 2004)
by Ben Fitzgerald, 12/13/2004
For Lonely Runs Both Ways, AKUS maintain their distinctive and unique sound, blending a mix of both straight-ahead bluegrass and Krauss soulful country-folk. Considering the great leaps in popularity Krauss has enjoyed since New Favorite and her forays into pop and country with the likes of Shania Twain, Sting and Elvis Costello thats a blessing. The fact is, like what they do or not, theyve remained true to their passions. The slightest adjustment in their musical direction could launch this band into a new stratosphere of popularity. Yet, while they may delve outside its borders, AKUS remain solidly an acoustic and bluegrass band. And its working for them.
Lonely Runs Both Ways launches with two of four Robert Lee Castleman songs, the writer responsible for New Favorite hits, The Lucky One and Let Me Touch You for a While. This of course leaves bluegrass fans waiting two tracks for Del McCourys Rain Please Go Away. But the wait is a pleasant one. Both Gravity and Restless are up there with the best of Krauss career. And lets face it she sings like an angel. Her ability to take Castlemans subtle tunes and drench them in genuine, rich emotion is not only why Restless was selected as the CDs first single, its why it will be a runaway success.
Other contributors to the song-list include Jerry Douglas with another upbeat, tension-driven instrumental, Woody Guthries Pastures of Plenty sung by master-interpreter Dan Tyminski, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings (naturally), Sidney and Suzanne Cox, Alison Krauss and Alison Brown with a bluegrass powerhouse that lets Krauss loose on the fiddle, and Ron Block who contributes Krauss vocal explosion A Living Prayer. All five musicians continue to work their instruments with restrained dexterity and originality. Ron Block continues to make under-appreciated contributions to bluegrass banjo and Dan Tyminski remains one of our finest flat pickers. And while this CD, like New Favorite, is perhaps a little too heavy on Dobro, theres no doubt about it no one has ever played the instrument as well as Douglas.
Krauss, however, remains the undisputed star and rock-solid foundation of this band. As the cover photo plainly states, she is the bands focus, a searing presence of beauty and elegance. With a voice that flows like honey, Krauss is one of the most natural performers in bluegrass, delivering genuine, believable warmth to every performance. So strong is Krauss presence, that the band, in their most glorious moments, orchestrate their efforts to dance around her vocals. An effort that strengthens the performance of all. And as good as this CD is, if they keep this up, they are far from achieving their peak.

This is a great foundation! I was using BB creams before this without realising that they were clogging my pores, I'd get rough spots around my face and occasional pimples. However, ever since changing to Za's perfect fit, all my skin problems have stopped. I've not had a pimple or rough spots for the longest time. The powder is fine and hence covers pores effectively without looking cakey. The sponge works beautifully with the powder, it's easy and quick to apply and the finish is flawless. Lasts throughout the day for me and sets nicely. I tend to use a sunblock underneath, SVR has worked wonderfully for me as I clog with all other sunblocks. MAC blot powder as finish. Applying my makeup in the morning has never been more of a breeze. Will stay with this foundation for as long as my skin accepts it.

The ZA two-way foundation was the very first foundation I used when I first started applying make up and I have re-purchased it many times since then. I still use it occasionally on my lazy days and days when I am rushing and do not have much time to apply liquid foundation/bb cream and all.
The coverage is good however it has the tendency to cake when it reaches mid-day. It isn't as lasting as liquid foundations but good enough if you're just heading out for awhile. I have oily skin so this powder helps to make my face stay matte for a good couple of hours.
ZA launches limited edition casings, promotional bundles every now and then so its pretty affordable. Have recommended this product to my friend who recently started applying make up and she loves it.

I have dry-combination skin with yellow undertones and #OCOO matches well. They have a few shades suited for asians/chinese.
I've been using this for some years (interchangeably with BB creams or liquid foundations) and I would prefer this for its convenience and how fast it can be applied for rush mornings. It's a pretty decent foundation considering how cheap it is (and even cheaper on promotion packs with freebies). This is definitely better and doesn't cake like Maybelline's powder foundation. The staying power can't be compared to liquid foundations so it has to be touched up if you have it on for more than 8 hours or so.
Only thing I don't like would be how the powder is really hard to get out when theres about 20% left, so I'll usually break it out from the tin into another container to use like loose powder.

I like this powder foundation! I have yet to find a foundation that gives me a better complexion than this does to me! I have light asian skin and I think thi suits asian complexion really nicely!! (well, I'm speaking for BO10 for the lighter shade yellow undertones). Although it's slightly lighter than my skintone, it gives my skin a beautiful yet natural looking glow. For the price and the results, I'll definitely repurchase again! (I have sensitive skin and this didn't breakout for me :) ) I find this foundation makes my skin look very pale if I apply full coverage, so I apply in moderation.

I really love the refill concept this foundation has. I bought the foundation case on its own a few years ago as the pink was really really nice and i needed a mirror, so.. :) Anyway, recently i decided to give it a try. I only used this product twice since i first bought it. This is a cheaper alternative to the high end brands, it is friendly to my pocket (lol) as i bought 3 refills at S$36 (on sale though), and i think it works pretty well for me though i will need a few touch ups a day due to my oily t zone. It does not break me out as i wash it off thoroughly every time i use it, which is obviously important as powders could clog your pores. It doesn't have much oil control properties i suppose, but is still a decent powder foundation. I am in the darkest shade available, which is OC30, and it really suits my skin tone, only a little lighter which is okay for me as it still give me a natural look. I will continue using it to see the results after a few more uses, but so far i am loving it :)

This is my HG powder. It can give you good coverage if you apply it liberally and my face doesn't get too shiny that quickly. I have to use an oil blotter after about 6 hours, which I do with all foundations anyway.
Another plus is that it matches my Asian skin tone and doesn't look pink on my skin, which is what most products do. It's quite inexpensive as well for about NZD$19. Most quality cosmetic products cost around $30 and up in NZ.
Recently though my face has gotten drier due to the colder weather and yet it gets just as oily so I'm using a matte liquid foundation instead of a powder. Will definitely use everyday during the summer!

I have been using this product for a few months now and am really loving it!
My skin is normal to oily and has many dark acne scars. I find that liquid foundations are better at covering up this scarring so I use this neat little product to give me a nice finish. When doing my make up, I'll put on my Estée Lauder double wear foundation and powder the Za foundation over the top. It's wonderful at setting my makeup and I do feel like it sustains my liquid foundation for longer. The powder may go on a little darker initially, but because it's so tine, it tends to even out when settled and matches your skin tone.
The powder is super fine and can be nicely applied using the sponge that's included, but I recommend a powder brush. The sponge is great at applying the product when there is no makeup on your skin I.e concealer, but tends to smudge even dry make up when used. It is a good shape though and is fairly easy to use.
There is another Za powder foundation which is the same thing but touts itself as being good for acne scarring -reportedly because of its extra ingredients. I have used Za's Vitamin night cream for acne scarring to no avail so I would be cautious about this foundations claims.
Easy to apply
Doesn't look cakey - the powder does settle into the skin and give a matt, barely there look.
Lasts you a fair bit - I use around 2-3 times a week and have had it for months
Durable - packaging hasn't died despite dropping and carting it around everywhere
Love the easy clean sponge
Not a great deal of colour match for those who are darker than an olive skin tone. My friend who is a deep brown colour is using the same colour as me even though I'm a good two-three shades lighter.

I am going to use this foundation foreveeer! Previously I have tried: Smashbox, Mac, Estee Lauder, Clinique, Model Co, Loreal, Thin Lizzy (lol)
I was using the True White powder foundation before this and that is an equally as beautiful formula but the colour was too warm for me. I switched to this because it is more yellow based and it is freaking amazing!
-Great coverage
-Great lasting power
-Looks really flawless and airbrushed on (which is not normally the case with powder foundations)
-This is an absolute dream for people with oily skin
-Has spf!
-You can touch up as much as you want and it doesn't go cakey
-My make up stays in place all day
-This is the only foundation I have used that doesn't separate (around the nose and such)
-So cheap!

Haven't used this product for a while, as I have stopped using foundation. That said, this one has stuck out in my mind as a great product!
- Easy to apply
- Great packaging
- Good value
- Feels great on; doesn't sink into pores or lines
- Great range of shades
- Can make me look a little too white at times
- Product doesn't last long, have to keep purchasing refills
Overall, great product that did not break me out. Probably up there (almost an HG product for me!) with some of the best foundations I've tried. And affordable!

First of all, I would like to say that this foundation doesn't give a lot of coverage. However, it works well on my skin and doesn't really cause me to break out. I also have very oily skin [and I also live in a humid country], but this foundation can stay on for quite long. They are smart to sell both an actual foundation, and the refill as well. Which means you don't always have to spend so much money buying cases after cases... You just gotta pay more the first time, and then buy the refills when it runs out. They also release special limited edition cases near Christmas every year, together with 2 refills. It's not the best foundation in the world, but it's good enough for me. Been using it for many years.

In the science news this week, scientists reveal we have hundreds of genetic flaws, a journalist plans his trip across the world, African elephant numbers drop by a 1000 in just four years, and finally… satellites reveal the gravitational hotspots on the Moon.
No-one is perfect, at least not genetically
Scientists have found that everyone has, on average, 400 flaws in their DNA, reported the BBC [1].
Most are "silent" mutations that don't affect your health, but some may cause problems when passed on to future generations. Others are linked to conditions such as cancer or heart disease, which could cause problems in later life.
The study involved 1,000 seemingly healthy people from Europe, the Americas and East Asia, all of whom had their entire genetic sequence decoded, for the 1,000 Genomes project.
This new research compared the genomes of 179 participants with a database of human mutations developed at Cardiff University.
The researchers found that a normal healthy person has about 400 potentially damaging DNA variations, and two DNA changes that are known to be associated with disease.
"Ordinary people carry disease-causing mutations without them having any obvious effect," said Dr Chris Tyler-Smith, a lead researcher on the study from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge.
"In a population there will be variants that have consequences for their own health."
It has been known for decades that we all carry some genetic mutations that appear to cause little or no harm. In some cases the mutations only cause harm if they are passed on to children who inherit a copy of the faulty gene from the other parent.
In around one in ten of those studied, the mutation causes only a mild condition, which appears to be inactive or shows up in later life.
Databases like the one at Cardiff University which hold information about known genetic mutations will become increasingly important in the future as steps are made towards personalised medicine.
In this study, all of the samples were anonymous so the participants will not be given any information about any mutations found that are linked to disease.
However, as DNA sequencing becomes more widespread, the ethical debate on what to tell people about their genetic makeup will need to be addressed, particularly as so many of the risks are uncertain.
Dr Chris Tyler-Smith said: "All of our genomes contain flaws; some of us will carry deleterious variants but will not be at risk of acquiring the associated disease for one reason or another.
"For others, there will be health consequences, and early warning could be useful, but might still come as an unwelcome surprise to the participant."
Writer will retrace the steps of early humans
A writer for National Geographic, Paul Salopek, has decided to make an incredible journey to retrace the route taken by early humans tens of thousands of years ago out of Africa.
Starting in the Great Rift Valley in Ethiopia, he will walk 21,000 miles across three continents finally finishing an astonishing seven years later at the most southerly point of South America.
He will update his website regularly with pictures, videos and accounts of his travels, as well as writing a story for National Geographic each year. His route will take him across the Red Sea, into the Middle East, before continuing on to China, Siberia and up to the Bering Strait into Alaska. He'll then walk down the whole of the western coasts of North and South America.
The 50-year-old is now preparing himself for the epic journey, and spending time with his family. "It is an old way of story-telling: the wandering bard. I am curious myself to see how it all turns out," Salopek told the Guardian [2]. "It is the notion of a questing story which we find in all cultures, that you have to go away from home and come back in order to truly discover what 'home' was," he added.
The journey will be anything but easy. Not only will it be a huge physical challenge, it will also be virtually impossible to plan ahead for the trip as his route will take him through some of the globe's most dangerous political hotspots.
However, Salopek admits that it is likely to be the mental challenges that he will find most difficult. He will be alone for much of the journey, so he has planned to have some periods where he'll go offline and rest. He wants his writing and website to reflect real stories, not just the pain and travails of a man walking 21,000 miles. His wife will also likely join him for some of the quiet periods to help him cope with the challenge.
Kenyan elephant numbers plummet
The second largest population of elephants in Kenya has lost over 1000 elephants in just four years following a spate of illegal poaching driven by Asia's demand for ivory.
After a promising growth spurt, the elephants are now dying faster than they are being born, reported New Scientist [3].
The Kenya Wildlife Service conducted a census of the Samburu/Laikipia population and found that it now stands at 6361, after a peak in 2008 at 7415.
Poaching is suspected as the culprit of this dramatic decline. A report made in July by three conservation groups found that poaching has been on the rise since 2006, with more than half of the elephants found dead in Africa in 2011 being illegally killed.
And finally…
Twin spacecraft reveal the structure of the Moon
Also, in New Scientist [4] this week, an amazing image and video of the Moon created by two spacecraft orbiting the satellite. The colours on the image represent the variations in the structure of our companion – red indicating more massive areas, and blue corresponding to less massive areas.
The two satellites, called Ebb and Flow, are together known as GRAIL (Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory). Measurements of the microwaves between Ebb and Flow allowed NASA to build the map from the data collected between March and May earlier this year.
The spacecraft are able to get incredibly close to the surface of the Moon because it lacks an atmosphere, making the map extremely detailed. In comparison, a similar survey of the Earth's mass carried out by the GOCE satellite has to stay ten times further away from the surface to avoid atmospheric drag.
The researchers are hoping that the gravity map could reveal whether the Earth once had two moons, but lost one when they collided, creating the thicker crust seen on the far side of the moon.

Sometimes, you just need some simple pictures to prove your point. If you're the Union of Concerned Scientists and you want to let people know that "we can half it" (oil use, that it) by supporting more electric cars and biofuel use, then a couple of bright infographics might do the trick.
In the first, UCS points out that it costs $3.45 to drive 100 miles on electricity, and $13.52 on gasoline and, if EV sales continue to rise to the point where they make up 40 percent of all new vehicles sold in the US, we could save nearly 1.5 million barrels of oil per day in 2035. In the second infographic, the issue is better biofuel. UCS says that, by 2035, we could potentially use 610 million dry tons of biomass resources (400 million from energy crops and 210 million from waste and residues). The target is 40 billion gallons of sustainable cellulosic biofuel made annually by, again, 2035. As you can probably guess, the UCS' target for cutting our oil use in half is 2035.
You can see bigger versions of each infographic here (EVs) and here (biofuels). For more details on the UCS's plan, announced in 2012, read this and check out the UCS Half The Oil site.

On Wednesday, June 8, the City of Woodland is hosting a free fix-a-leak workshop at the Woodland Community and Senior Center. The workshop will run from 5:30 to 7:00 pm. The event will include an overview of water conservation assistance and metered water data in Woodland, a viewing of a DVD from the American Water Works Association titled "Detecting and Silencing Leaks," and a plumbing panel on how to repair common household leaks (demonstration and discussion). The plumbing panel will include certified Green Plumber Todd Fulton from Syntrol Plumbing and Chris Reynolds from local business Halls Plumbing.
By repairing minor household leaks, residents can save water and potentially lower their water bills. On average, leaks account for 11,000 gallons of water wasted in the home every year, which can be enough to fill a backyard swimming pool. Common types of leaks found in and around the home include worn out toilet flappers, dripping faucets, and leaking garden hoses, sprinklers, and other valves. Homeowners billed for metered water use can often save more than 10 percent on their water bills by fixing easily corrected household water leaks. Fixing leaks has become increasingly important as Woodland has been transitioning to metered water.
Workshop participants will receive a guide to locating household leaks, replacement toilet flappers, and toilet leak detection dye tablets.

I have come across this article and I just want to share this. This is not to dampen the spirits of nurses who want to work in Australia but just to present to you the reality and help you prepare better.

A nursing student says nurses graduating this year are staring at the prospect of being left without a job, with only approximately 500 graduate places available for over 1400 students.
Chris, 31, told Neil Mitchell he went into nursing thinking he'd be guaranteed a job at the end of his degree, and was surprised to find out job security within hospitals was no longer a reality.
"With the government harping on for such a long time about a crisis in healthcare and a dramatic shortage of nurses, a lot of students including myself thought that it would be relatively easy to get not only a job, but to get a job that we would both enjoy and really have a career out of," he said.
"Now we're at the end of our degree finding out there are actually not a lot of jobs out there because there are so many government cuts with funding towards hospitals."
Chris said Hospitals were simply unable to hire the number of required nurses, and he now faces the prospect of further study or looking for work interstate.
With the vocation of nursing long thought-of as one of the most secure industries to work, Neil Mitchell has asked: is there any degree which guarantees a job?

You do not need to worry about that if you are still for BP (",)

Nadda will this post stop and think, you know steppybay
I hope everyone gives a thought to how grad nurses from Australian nurses feel, about this situation.
Many nurses who apply for bp's here are also nurses with no experience or experience of one year and below.
and it continues.....perhaps 2 have posted that they got sponsored jobs and one post they cannot find work. Out of the hundreds that pass through BP school each year. and the 50 or so that pass through this forum.Last edit by ceridwyn on Mar 22, '13

Lim, Long Hsiang (2002) Development of Software for Dielectric Analysis. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
A software was developed using Visual Basic 6.0 for the study and analyzing of the experimental data for the dielectric laboratory. For this purpose, a numerical computation of Kramers-Kronig relations, fitting various dielectric functions and plotting dielectric graphical representations were created and was found to achieve high level of accuracy when compared with the simple non-interacting Debye model. The software was used to analyze the experimental data of rose extract diluted in water. The experimental data of rose extract diluted in water shows that the polarisation consists of two different mechanisms, represented by a characteristic loss peak and a strong low frequency dispersion. The mechanisms were in consistent with the Kramers-Kronig relations and equivalent circuits were proposed for the material under study.

|Hi everyone!
I would like to purchase a few crab apple trees in the spring for my back yard. Does anyone have suggestions regarding good culinary varieties? I am looking for fruit that can be eaten off the tree or used for cooking, a relatively small tree and good disease resistance. Also, a good source for trees would be greatly appreciated.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Centennial, Kerr, are top favorites here - both seedlings of Dolgo - which is pretty good in its own right.
Chestnut, Trailman get good reviews. Jim Bastian has an 'Orange Crab' that's very similar to Centennial, but may be even better(sweet, with dense yellow flesh).
Whitney is widely available - but there seem to be two 'Whitney' selections in the nursery trade, one better than the other. Wickson also gets good reviews, but has not fruited for me here.
Callaway, an ornamental type with heavy production of 1-1.5" fruits, has long been a favorite for my kids; I think Evereste is similar in size and production, with good quality fruits.
You can probably find some, if not all of these, at most good mail-order nurseries, like Cummins, Raintree, etc.

Queerty is better as a member
It's going to be interesting if 'Shinning Knight' will interact (have sex) with a guy, and if so, will he become pregnant? (A stretch?) Recently, there was a case of a male haveing both sex organs and it wasn't discovered that he had a vagina until he was hospitalized for something and it was revealed he was a functioning female! He got a divorce, remarried and had a baby (if I recall this article, correctly) (I;m going to try try and find this info. on google to be sure I was a legitimate incident or a fake).

Washington state Senate candidate wants amnesty for past marijuana offenderson July 11, 2014 @ 12:46 pm (Updated: 1:30 pm - 7/11/14 )
Sarina Forbes, a Republican campaigning in the 36th district, joined KIRO Radio's Jason Rantz to discuss the potential bill.
Forbes says the bill would probably be modeled after a bill previously proposed by Democratic Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon and would essentially remove low-level marijuana crimes from people's records.
Rantz tells Forbes he understands the spirit of the bill, but finds the message it sends troubling.
"These folks violated the law on the books at the time, and no matter how much you and I disagree with the law, we sometimes have to follow the law," he says. "Why would we give them a pass if they knowingly broke a law at the time?"
Forbes says her initial response to the idea was similar to Jason's, but she ultimately decided these people have paid their debt to society.
"They have resolved their issue in one way, shape or form. Either they have paid a fine or maybe done volunteer service, but they have done their restitution, and in our society, once you have paid your restitution, that should be enough. It shouldn't be held forever against you."
But Rantz suggests that having the crime continue to appear on your record is part of the punishment for the crime. "We see folks who eventually get out of jail but they don't see their record expunged."
Forbes says there are actually means to appeal to get your crimes removed from your record. "There is a process that one can go through, application to get your record expunged for a variety of reasons."
Rantz thinks that passing a bill like this could have bad implications for how seriously people will take current laws, including regulations that still exist surrounding marijuana.
"What if someone wants to smoke weed outdoors, in public, at a park somewhere, why should they get busted if maybe they're of the opinion that down the line there may be some sort of shift in the way people feel about marijuana?" he says. "Why should they follow it [the law] now if they can simply say down the line I might get an amnesty bill?"
Regardless of her intention to propose this bill, Forbes says people should be following all laws as they currently stand, including those regarding marijuana.
"We must abide by the rule of law as it is now and they [a person who wants to smoke outdoors] must take the risk of enjoying that particular substance knowing they are breaking the existing law. If that is a risk they are willing to take, they must also pay the penalty and the cost."

Next GQ's Spring Trend Report 2014: Mr. Rogers Redux
1 / 6
Today's busy man looking for one timepiece to carry him from the office, to the gym, and a night out after need look no further than the diver watch. The athletic-inspired style takes its functional cues from watches that keep an eye on oxygen tanks but on dry land, it's an ideal option to keep you showing up on time. It's the combination of a dressier, clean black face and silver bezel with a sportier rubber strap that sets these watches apart of the timekeeping pack and will do the same to any wrist at the conference table.

The Eye
Blind for most of her life, concert violinist Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba) is the recipient of a double corneal transplant that restores her sight at long last. With the help of her doctor (Alessandro Nivola) and sister (Parker Posey), she learns to see again. Soon, however, frightening visions convince her that a terrifying alternate world exists, and only she can see it.

this movie was the best scary movie ever!!!!!
no lie
i give it 10 ratings.
i love this movie so much
i watched it once and feel in love.
The Eye is a fairly well-executed cinematic experience, although not a very interesting story. The premise is typical of American horror movies, combining the ability to see ghosts with the ability to see into the future. Although there are many potentially interesting and original ways to tell such a story, it seemed a little contrived and not very satisfying in the end.
As far as horror movies go, The Eye often resorts to loud, sudden noises, and quick shots of ugly faces. There are also a number of events that seem inconsistent with the story being told. For example, most of the ghosts represent ordinary, non-violent people with various personal issues, yet some of them would attack the main character for no apparent reason.
The Eye has some creepy imagery and chilly moments, which are frequently ruined by cheap attempts to frighten or startle the audience, a tactic which American filmmakers have a hard time resisting.
Only see this movie if American horror tends to impress you, or if you're attracted to Jessica Alba(or to the guy who plays her doctor).
The movie is scene for scene, character for character like the Hong Kong version. You can probably take the Hong Kong script, run it through Babelfish and come out with this remake.
However, I really enjoyed watching Jessica Alba in this movie. Well, I enjoy her in most of her movies. Too bad her lines weren't all that well written.
Ok, if you're a Jessica Alba fan you should watch this. The movie overall wasn't bad because it does follow through on the story throughout the movie. The blurs can stress you out though. There are some heart pounding moments but not too bad to get a heart attack. I recommend seeing this movie just once because it will get old easily.
Jessica Alba did a great job portraiting a blind girl, but not her violin skills. Other than that, it's a usual copycat ghost movie. The whole movie is very dragging with a few jumpy moments. And the storyline is lame. There is nothing new in this movie except that you may re-think about organ transplant after watching this movie. Watch the movie if you are die-hard Jessica Alba fan, otherwise, wait for DVD.

"Not much here for me."
My daughter talked me into listening to this book. She thought it was better than Harry Potter. Well to me it sure isn't Harry Potter. This just wasn't my cup of tea at all. Don't think I will see the movie and I know I won't order the second book. This book just did't fit to what I call entertainment or good writting. Took for ever to tell a very simple story. Suzanne Collins repeated herself a lot. She kept going over issues that I thought once said was enough. Just not for me.
"Coming of age"
Recommend? Yes of course. I have found that writers who write series such as the Karp series take a few books to really develop the characters and theme. The first several books Tanenbaum wrote in this series felt to me like he was searching for his characters identity. I think he has found them.
Marlene of course. She is such a wild character. Lucy is a close second.
Pat first I thought what in the world. He seemed to speak to fast and his inflections seemed off but the longer I listened I kind of liked his narration.
After the girl was kidnaped and Lucy told her dad what happened. Karp came alive.
I hope the next books in this series become available very soon.
"So far the best"
I think I would. This book was the most interesting to me of this series.
That's a tuff question. This book added a layer that I didn't feel in the other books of this series. I felt that Marlene was the major focus in this book. Marlene is a much more complex figure than Karp. Tanenbaum did well exploring with her character.
He is ok.
Yes it was. I almost did do that very thing but a Christmas party got in the way.
Tanenbaum did a nice job with this book.
"I must be easy to please"
Probably not. The Karp series is like eating a cheeseburger. Great when your hunger but I don't want to eat the same burger twice.
Anything with Marlene as the focus. She sounds like way more of a woman than Karp is a guy.
Traber is fine. No complaints. He isn't my favorite narrator but he is OK.
Sure I laughed. Marlene is a trip.
I don't find Tanenbaum as good of a writer as Sandford or Flynn but he is good enough. This is book #6 in the series and Tanenbaum has finally slowed down telling the reader Karp is jewish and that Marlene is a catholic. Yep he does mention it some but why? To me it plays no part in the story. I could care less what religion the characters are.
"Lesser Plea"
A nice introduction.
I wouldn't say on the edge but it kept my attention.
Interesting at best.
No escape.
I had listened to Tanenbaum before and decided to start the series in order. No Lesser Plea is nice first book. It sets the characters well. I mostly likely will listen to a few more books then decide if I will continue with the series. Tanenbaum and Burns may grow on me but at this time they aren't my favorite.
"Hope this isn't the last"
Sandford did it again in my book. Simply love his style. Flowers is a lot softer than Davenport but don't let that put you off. Sandford gives Flowere's just as much brain power as Davenport. Good story great narrator all around good read.
"Poor Virgil"
This is a keeper. Virgil is so human. Sandford's Virgil Flower is a great down to earth kind of a guy. Sandford leaves enough out to keep you guessing but not so much that you lose interest. I suspected the ending but it was funny how Sandford pulled it off. Poor Virgil.
"You betch ya"
Lucas Davenport is still the big dog in Sandford's writings but Virgil Flowers is a very close second. I may actually like the Flowers series as well if not better than the Prey series. Heat Lighting is a very good read/listen. Nice work Sandford. Thank you.
"The Field"
I listen to audio books at an insane rate. If a reader of many books is a book worm I must be a "tape worm". There a lot of great authors and narrators. Sometimes they actually come together on the same series. Boy oh boy did they ever in Sandford's the Prey series. This is the last title that audible has in their listing as of 10/14. I enjoyed the complete series and the Field of Prey was no exception. If you are a fan of Sandford's you will love this one. Enjoy.
"The right mix"
I agree Sandford and Ferrone are a great combination. Sandford has moved to one of my top 5 authors. No the language isn't to ruff for me. I think it is down to earth and most likely just the type of vocabulary that real people in the trenches of life use. It certainly was the language the adults used around me when I was a kid.
I like Lee Childs and his character Jack Reacher but he seems a little far fetched at times. Lucas Davenport seems real and does real life stuff. I love this series.
"Book 3 Edge of Eternity"
I am a huge fan of Ken Follett and I was really looking forward to the final installment of the this trilogy. Some of my friends loved the Pillars of the Earth and World Without End but didn't like the Century Trilogy. They started the Fall of Giants and didn't finish it. I didn't understand their position but something didn't catch their fancy. After listening the Edge of Eternity I think I understand what they were talking about. The Century Trilogy just didn't really create that spark that is needed to keep a trilogy going.
I have to say that I don't think this is one of Ken's best works. Maybe the historical events that he uses as a back drop are to fresh in my mind. The earlier books like the Pillars of the Earth and World Without End and the first two books of the Century trilogy dealt with general social issues. This book spent a lot of time on one specific social issue from the sixties. Sure it was an issue but it was to specific for me. Follett used general issues like Communism when talking about the family in the eastern block countries but focused on race in the United States. Sure he talked about a lot of other social issues but this book felt like a comment on race relations.
I had the same feeling about Jane Auel's writings in her Earth Children's series. She went to long and didn't stay with the theme in the earlier books. I felt neither of these great authors knew how to finish their great works. To me it was still worth my time to listen to this book but don't send full price on it. Maybe the abridged format would have been better.
