Winner - John Kearns: Shtick
Best Comedy Show 2014
Winner - Alex Edelman: Millennial
Best Newcomer 2014
Best Comic / Comedy Show For the funniest, most outstanding, up-and-coming comic / comedy show/ act at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The prize is £10,000.
Best Newcomer For the performer or act who is performing their first full-length show (50 minutes or more) at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The prize is £5,000. Please note that newcomers are eligible for the Best Comedy Show Award, if that is the Panel's decision, but no act can appear on both shortlists in the same year.
The shortlists will be announced on Wednesday 20th August 2014
Panel Prize Like the Fringe itself, there are no rules. Everyone is eligible. It is entirely in the gift of the Panel and Award Director and may not be awarded at all. The prize is £5,000.
The winners of all three Awards will be announced on Saturday 23rd August 2014
1. The show must have opened by Thursday 14th August 2014 and have at least eight public performances between Thursday 14th August and Friday 22nd August 2014 including Wednesday 20th, Thursday 21st & Friday 22nd August. If the show opened prior to 14th August, then only five performances need to be performed between 15th and 22nd August and at least two of these must be after the shortlist is announced.
2. For both the Edinburgh Best Comedy and Best Newcomer award, the show must be stand-up, character comedy, sketch/revue, comedy musical or cabaret. The material must be unique to the performer / show. Comedy plays are not eligible. Comedy music acts are eligible, but must be performing their own material, not cover numbers, although pastiche and rewriting is eligible. Bill shows are not eligible but where individual acts combine into a single show which is fully inter-relating, it will be judged on overall merit, not on an individual basis. Established acts should have substantially new material since the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2013. Performing other people's material e.g. classic Frankie Howard or Bill Hicks, etc. is not eligible. For the avoidance of doubt, 'unique' means material written by the act and their collaborators (co-writer, director, etc).
Acts considered to have 'star' status are not eligible for the Edinburgh Best Comedy Award. For the purposes of this Award a 'star' is defined as any act who has starred in a television comedy or light entertainment on a major channel or regularly fills a 500-plus seat venue on their own name. For the avoidance of doubt, major channels are the former terrestrial television channels of BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4 and Channel 5 and also Sky 1. One-off or 'guest' appearances in a television comedy or light entertainment series or appearing in shows as a panel member on a major channel where your name is not above the title do not disqualify an act. Please note that these rules apply to all shows including international acts, where the status in their home countries will apply. For the avoidance of doubt, where any grey areas occur, the live rule will be dominant."
Acts considered for the Newcomer Award is any performer/act who is performing their first full-length show (50 minutes or more) at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A performer who has appeared in a previous show at the Edinburgh Festival as part of a sketch show or an international performer who is not a star in their own country but who may be a seasoned performer is eligible. If a performer was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award as part of a group then subsequently presents a solo show for the first time at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe they are eligible for the Newcomer Award.
5. All shows for both awards must have a listed and playing time of at least 50 minutes.
6. Previous winners of the Best Comedy Show Awards formerly called the Perrier Award, Intelligent Finance Comedy Award and Edinburgh Comedy Award are not eligible.
All shows listed in the Comedy and Cabaret section of the official Edinburgh Festival Fringe Guide are automatically seen for the Best Comedy Show or Best Newcomer award in accordance with these rules. Shows or acts do not need to apply for the awards.
If you are not in the official Edinburgh Festival Fringe Guide and believe you are eligible please contact the awards team on: firstname.lastname@example.com

Brandon Bollig wasn't in the house the last time the Blackhawks raised a championship banner to the United Center rafters. And he only played about five minutes last season in Los Angeles, when the Kings held their own Stanley Cup celebration.
So while so many of his teammates shrugged off the inevitable emotional high and perhaps even just as inevitable emotional letdown that comes with such a ceremony, Bollig had no idea what he was in for.
"I'm not sure what to expect," he said before the game. "I'm sure anything that I think it's going to be, it'll surpass that. As far as refocusing afterward, it shouldn't be too hard."
Apparently not.
Bollig scored the first goal of the Hawks' season — and the first regular-season goal of his career — just 4:06 into the first period. He planted himself in front of Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby and took a shoy by Marcus Kruger off his skate. He got the puck on his stick, muscled aside Capitals defenseman Connor Carrick — a 19-year-old rookie from Orland Park — and deftly lifted a shot over Holtby for the goal.
It was the kind of nifty stickhandling Bollig was having fun with in his parody video of Patrick Kane's viral Bauer commercial. But while the video is what put Bollig in the spotlight during camp, it was his play that really stood out.
Used mainly as an enforcer during his first two seasons with the Hawks, Bollig — whose lone career NHL goal came in the 2012 playoffs against the Phoenix Coyotes — had two goals in training camp and added two more in five preseason games. He also saw time as a penalty-killer during the preseason in an effort to become an every-day player, not just a guy who's inserted against physical, fighting teams.
"Every day is kind of a tryout for a guy like me," he said. "But it's great that I've been given this opportunity to expand my role and expand my responsibility. I'm looking to take it and run with it and not look back, as far as what my role was last year and the year before."

Kharey Wise
His confession had the facts all wrong
Kharey Wise, a 16-year-old with a second-grade reading level and an IQ of 73, was one of five black teenagers wrongfully convicted of beating and raping a 28-year-old white woman jogger in New York's Central Park in 1989.
The youths were arrested after a night of rampage that became known as a "wilding." After interrogations ranging from 14 to 28 hours, they gave videotaped statements saying that they fondled, kicked, and beat the victim. Each, however, denied committing the rape itself. The victim, an investment banker, was near death when found. She emerged from a coma 12 days later, with no memory of what happened.
Details of the defendants' statements were inconsistent with facts of the crime. Wise, for instance, initially said the victim's head injuries resulted from punching, then said she had been struck with a rock, and then said the weapon had been a brick. He also said someone named "Al" took part in the attack, but that person soon became "Eddie."
When police took Wise and one of the other suspects, 14-year-old Kevin Richardson, to the park separately and asked where the attack occurred, they pointed in different directions. Wise also claimed that the victim's clothes were cut off her with a knife, but the clothes were not cut. Another of the suspects, 15-year-old Antron McCray, said the jogger wore blue shorts and a T-shirt, but she actually wore long black tights and a long-sleeve jersey.
Aside from the dubious confessions, the only evidence purporting to link the youths to the crime was three hairs recovered from Richardson's clothing. The hairs were described by a prosecution forensic witness as "consistent with" with the victim's hair.
The teenagers were tried in 1990 and 1991, and juries found them guilty of assault and rape. Wrongfully convicted, in addition to Wise, Richardson, and McCray, were Yusef Salaam, 15, and Raymond Santana, 14. Wise, the only one of the group tried as an adult, was sentenced to five to 15 years in prison, and the others, who were tried as juveniles, to five to ten years.
All five youths were exonerated after DNA corroborated the confession of a violent sex criminal, Matias Reyes, that he alone committed the crime. After he happened to meet Wise in prison, Reyes said he became remorseful and decided to admit what actually happened. Reyes, who was serving 33 years to life for murdering one woman and raping three others, first told a prison guard in January 2002 that he had raped and beaten the jogger.
In May 2002, DNA confirmed that biological evidence recovered from the victim's clothing indeed had emanated from Reyes. Subsequent DNA testing confirmed that the hairs recovered from Richardson and used against the teenagers at trial were not the jogger's. By this time, all of the defendants except Wise had completed their sentences and been released; Wise completed his sentence in August 2002.
After a reinvestigation of the case, the convictions finally were vacated on December 19, 2002, at the request of Manhattan District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau, who released a statement saying, in part:
"My decision to request that these convictions be set aside was based upon an extensive, complex, and painstaking investigation of newly discovered evidence and the probable impact of that evidence on the outcome of the original trials in this case. I made that decision, after careful consultation with senior prosecutors in this office, to fulfill my obligation to uncover the facts, to apply the law without fear or favor, and to see that justice is done."

I just saw this article about the experience of someone in the job hunting process.
Apparently during the interview the interviewer googled the candidate and found out that his Facebook profile was locked unless someone was friends with the candidate.
As it should be!!!
So the interviewer asked the candidate to provide his login credentials so that the interviewer could check out the whole Facebook profile.
When I read that I thought to myself that we had truly come a long way – isn't this the same as asking someone to bring their personal diary into an interview – along with the little golden key to open it?
In my opinion this is a reason to walk out of this interview immediately – which is exactly what the candidate did! Thankfully he didn't seem to need that particular job badly enough.
The article then proceeds to talk about how HR managers and other hiring managers asking applicants to friend them on Facebook. While I see this practice as almost as bad at least there are means to restrict what these people are seeing. If that happened to me I would decline stating that I'm only connected with people that I am actually friends with. Everyone else can connect with me on LinkedIn. If I indeed needed the job badly enough I would friend that person – but set their permissions to basically zero. No access to photos, no access to my private Wall posts, etc. All they would see are my public wall posts – which are few and far between.
I'm really curious where this is going…

Ability Score
Ability Scores are general measures of a character's broadest abilities. Not counting bonuses or other modifiers, each score can be between 3 and 18, with 10 considered to be average among adventurers. The six ability scores are:
- Strength measures a character's physical power.
- Constitution represents a character's health, stamina and vital force.
- Dexterity measures hand-eye coordination, agility, reflexes, and balance.
- Intelligence describes how well a character learns and reasons.
- Wisdom measures common sense, perception, self-discipline and empathy.
- Charisma measures force of personality, persuasiveness, and leadership.
Ability Scores are also frequently called "attributes."
Initial Values[edit]
On character creation, ability scores are randomly rolled.
One or two ability scores selected by the player will also receive a permanent +2 racial bonus.
The ability scores are not randomly rolled, but are rather arrays based on a point buy system.
For instance, having an 18 in the main ability score (e.g. 18 wisdom for a cleric) comes at the expense of a lower overall point total than taking a more balanced approach (72 points in the 18 13 13 10 10 8 array versus 77 points in the 15 14 13 12 12 11 array).
At levels 10, 20, 40 and 50, characters gain 2 points to add to their ability scores. At levels 30 and 60, all of a character's attributes are increased by 1.
Ability Scores Effect per point over 10 For each Class[edit]
All classes receive the following bonuses from each ability score, for each point over 10.
|Ability Score
|1% Stamina Regeneration (or Guard Meter)
1% DoT Damage Resist
|2% Maximum Hit Points
|1% AoE Damage Resist
0.5% Deflection Chance
|1% Recharge Speed Increase
|1% Control Bonus
1% Control Resist
|1% Companion Stat Bonus
1% Combat Advantage Damage
Classes receive additional bonuses for their primary and secondary ability scores, for each point over 10.
|Control Wizard

|1% Recharge Speed Increase
1% Action Point Gain

Late last week, state lawmakers in Providence adjourned their 2014 legislative session. The NRA and gun rights activists spent many nights at the Statehouse during the last six months, testifying against dozens of gun control bills.

Last Friday, June 13, Governor John Hickenlooper (D) spoke to a gathering of Colorado sheriffs in Aspen during the bi-annual County Sheriffs of Colorado Conference. During this conference, Hickenlooper admitted that he and his office failed to meet with the sheriffs when they showed up en masse at the state Capitol in Denver and also admitted that he and his office failed to do their homework on the impact and importance of background check legislation that now unnecessarily affects hundreds of thousands of law-abiding citizens across the Centennial State.
Yesterday, the state Assembly did not take up anti-gun Senate Bill 53, so it is still awaiting its final vote. The next chance for SB 53 to be considered on the Assembly floor is this Thursday, June 19. It's CRITICAL that you contact your state Assemblyman TODAY and urge him or her to OPPOSE this egregious legislation.FULL STORY

On May 15, the Sussex County Board of Supervisors met and heard concerns about the effect the recently passed "noise ordinance" would have on Sunday hunting and sportsmen in the county. They were urged by gun owners and hunters to instead approve an emergency ordinance change that would eliminate the section dealing with shooting on Sundays. FULL STORY
State lawmakers in Providence passed legislation last week to increase the reporting in Rhode Island of individuals who are already prohibited from owning a firearm.

The Senate Judiciary Committee also amended and approved its companion legislation to match the House Bill. Senate Bill 2774 will now go to the Senate floor for its consideration. State legislators are hoping to wrap up their 2014 session as early as this Friday.FULL STORY
A radical anti-gun bill, House Bill 4121, was rammed through the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security in a rare, non-publicized electronic poll vote on Saturday, June 7.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Rawlins Field Office has released for public comment the proposed Rogers Canyon Resource Protection, Public Access and Travel Management Plan (the Plan). The 640-acre Rogers Canyon area is located eight miles northwest of Laramie, WY. It is used extensively by local residents and students from the University of Wyoming and WyoTech for rock climbing, hiking, biking, hunting, all-terrain vehicles and target shooting. Unfortunately, the area has been degraded with the dumping of trash and other debris, riding off established roads and two-tracks, unsafe shooting practices, and the destruction of natural resources.

Thanks to your calls and e-mails, the Michigan Senate passed both House Bill 5085 and Senate Bill 789 yesterday.FULL STORY
Below are two links to a video -- the same video -- one is on Facebook the other is on YouTube. I suspect it will go viral so I thought you should see it. The video is of a Florida Highway Patrol trooper in the SW Florida area (between Sarasota and Naples) totally misrepresenting the law to a citizen. At minimum, this appears to be a situation of poor training. FULL STORY

While the NRA continues to work on a number of issues during the North Carolina General Assembly's short session this year, one issue in particular needs your immediate action. Senate Bill 226, sponsored by state Senator Mike Woodard (D-22), would repeal a 1935 law that allowed firearm registration in Durham County. FULL STORY
Senate Bill 789, introduced by state Senator Mike Green (R-31), is important legislation that seeks to create a more efficient, consistent and expedient concealed pistol licensing system for the citizens in Michigan. SB 789 also creates a true "shall issue" licensing system for all statutorily eligible Michiganders.FULL STORY

This Monday, June 9, at 7:30 pm, the Pleasant Hill City Council will be holding a special meeting to determine the fate of an ill-advised ordinance targeting legal firearm retailers in Pleasant Hill—all but removing them from the city's limits. This meeting follows the May 6th vote of the Planning Commission giving a unanimous negative recommendation on adoption of this ordinance, meaning all of the commissioners oppose it. We encourage all who support Second Amendment rights to attend this meeting on Monday and voice their opposition to the ordinance.FULL STORY
Friday, May 30 was the last day for bills to pass their legislative chamber of origin. Accordingly, it's time to contact your state legislators urging them to OPPOSE all anti-gun legislation.

The anti-gun bills below are scheduled to be heard this Tuesday, June 10. Please call members of the respective committees TODAY! Contact information for committee members is listed with each bill.FULL STORY

– Erin, in response to the post "Confession: Top 10 Reasons I Don't Own a Razor"
I volunteer at my local teen health clinic, and during our training retreat, one of the first ground rules we all agreed to follow was "don't yuck my yum." This basically translates to "respect the tastes of others, especially around sex-related topics because it is so easy to be self-conscious about that sort of thing." So Erin, if you don't like pubic hair, you can go right ahead and seek out bare-skinned buddies to get it on with – plenty of them exist, and seem quite happy with their grooming regimens – but don't be a jerk about other people's tastes. I don't think it's your (or anyone's) business to insult other people's vulvas on the Internet.

Fisheries biologists soon will have a better understanding of bass movements in Big Squam and Little Squam Lakes, thanks to assistance and funding provided by the New Hampshire B.A.S.S. Nation.
See the best of the best from the November 2014 entries of the Catch of the Week presented by Toyota contest.
Last week I had the chance to accomplish one of the things I've always wanted to do, bow hunt an elk. I loaded up the truck and headed out to Arizona to join Elite Series angler Cliff Pirch for an elk hunt.
MAIDEN, N.C. — B.A.S.S. Elite Series angler Hank Cherry has added Creme Lure Company to his tackle box for the 2015 season. Creme Lure Company made what most anglers consider to be a large impact on bass fishing when Nick and Cosma Creme released the first soft plastic worm back in 1949.
Freddy De La Paz had the time of his life fishing with Dean Rojas on El Salto.
Ryan Wood and Turner Mason stayed focused despite tough conditions to claim the 2014 Colorado Bassmaster High School State Championship on Pueblo Reservoir in October.
From Afghanistan to New York's Oneida Lake, one angler gives thanks for bass tournament fishing this holiday.
The last few weeks have been crazy busy, which is great! I've been working with the media, answering emails, talking to sponsors and putting the finishing touches on my new Phoenix/ Yamaha rig. I've been without a boat for a while, so I'm ready to get back out there and do some fishing. With the weather getting colder, I'll definitely be throwing one of my favorite contraptions: the umbrella rig.
Through December, donation programs for the United Service Organizations and AMVETS are provided across the country.
Some familiar bass fishing waters and some never visited by B.A.S.S. tournaments will play host to competitors in the 2015 Old Milwaukee B.A.S.S. Nation divisionals.

I have to agree with you someways. In Ghost Hunters they pay a lot more attention to things that might have caused noises. Though, amusement wise, the lipgloss wearing guy with the fat guy who looks like he just got out of jail and the skinny guy who's scared of everything is better than the two ULTRA SERIOUS leaders of T.A.P.S. and the other members. Though, I did have a SMALL crush on David Tango when I watched the show. It's creepy because he's like 30 years older than me.

Byron's Comments:
Carnitine levels drop 20% in older rats, resulting in impaired fat metabolism and accumulation of undesirable fat. ALC supplementation was able to promote more youthful metabolism of fat.
Study Title:Acetyl-L-carnitine supplementation restores decreased tissue carnitine levels and impaired lipid metabolisms in aged rats.
Study Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of long-term Carnitine supplementation on age-related changes in tissue carnitine levels and in lipid metabolism. The total carnitine levels in heart, skeletal muscle, cerebral cortex and hippocampus were about 20 % less in aged rats than in young rats. On the contrary, serum carnitine levels were not affected by aging. Young and aged rats were given acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR, 100 mg/kg BW/day) for 3 months and sacrificed at ages of 6 and 22 months. This treatment significantly increased the tissue carnitine levels in aged rats, but had little effect on the tissue carnitine levels in young rats. Serum triacylglycerol, cholesterol and phospholipid levels were higher in aged rats than in young rats. Lipoprotein analyses revealed that triacylglycerol levels in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), and cholesterol levels in low density lipoprotein (LDL) and in high density lipoprotein (HDL) were all significantly higher in aged rats than in young rats. Supplementation of ALCAR decreased all lipoprotein fractions and consequently the levels of triacylglycerol and cholesterol. The reduction in serum cholesterol contents in aged rats when treated with ALCAR was mainly due to a decrease of cholesteryl esters than to a decrease of free cholesterol. Another remarkable effect of ALCAR was that it decreased the cholesterol content and cholesterol/phospholipid ratio in the brain tissues of aged rats. These results indicate that chronic ALCAR supplementation reverses the age-associated changes in lipid metabolism.

CHARLOTTE, October 26, 2012 — Two things were certain before Game 2 of the 2012 World Series. Pablo Sandoval wasn't going to hit three more home runs and the Detroit Tigers, who have not been a good team on the road this year, needed a split.
The pitching duel that had been expected on Wednesday came one day later as Doug Fister and Madison Bumgarner matched each other through the first six innings. By then Bumgarner had allowed just two hits, while Fister had yielded three. Bumgarner had the edge in strikeouts with eight to Fister's three even though he had only thrown 72 pitches, a whopping 35 less than his Detroit counterpart.
Somehow those numbers made it feel like something was going to break loose in the seventh. When Miguel Cabrera led off with a walk, Prince Fielder had an opportunity to ruin Bumgarner's gem. No such luck. The Giants starter got Fielder ground into a double play before Delmon Young grounded out to short and another Detroit goose egg went up on the board.
The seventh was a different story for the Tigers. A leadoff single to left by Hunter Pence chased Fister after throwing 114 pitches. Detroit went to its bullpen, which has been erratic during the postseason.
With Drew Smyly on in relief, Brandon Belt walked to put runners at first and second with nobody out.
But when things go bad in baseball, sometimes they just keep going that way. Grego Blanco dropped a bunt down the third baseline on a 3-1 pitch that Detroit didn't field, hoping it would roll foul. It didn't. Blanco had a single and the bases were loaded.
Brandon Crawford followed by grounding into a double play, but it was all the Giants needed to score the game's first run.
San Francisco kept the pressure on in the eighth when Angel Pagan walked and then stole second after Marco Scutaro struck out. Pablo Sandoval was intentionally walked, bringing Buster Posey to the plate with runners at first and second with one out.
With Octavio Dotel on in relief of Smyly, Posey walked on four pitches to load the bases. Hunter Pence added an important insurance run with a sacrifice fly to right making the score, 2-0.
The fourth inning was a highlight film of both San Francisco's defense and Detroit's frustration. With Omar Infante at first after a single, Miguel Cabrera rifled a line drive to third that was speared by Sandoval to rob the Tigers triple crown winner of a certain double.
Prince Fielder then crushed a long fly ball to left that fell just short of a home run. The final insult came when Infante tried to steal second and got picked off as Giants pitcher Doug Fister threw behind him allowing Brandon Belt to cut him down at second.
Fielder was also thrown out at the plate in the second trying to score on a Delmon Young double.
The Tigers came into the series well rested with the advantage of having their pitching rotation set while San Francisco was forced to adjust their starters. With the two game edge heading to Detroit, the Giants rotation is now back in sync giving them a huge advantage on the road.
Experts have long said the key to winning the World Series is pitching. While some might say the Detroit bats have gone silent, it is because the Giants have had superb pitching and outstanding defense.
The Series now heads to Detroit on Saturday, and the Tigers have a Giant hurdle to overcome.
Peabod is Bob Taylor, owner of Taylored Media Services in Charlotte, NC. Taylor played professional baseball for four years including two seasons under Hall of Fame manager, Sparky Anderson. He played all 29-innings of the longest continuous professional baseball game in history.
He was a sportscaster for 14 years at WBT, the CBS affiliate in Charlotte. As author of The Century Club book, Peabod is now attempting to travel to 100 countries or more during his lifetime. To date he has visited 70 countries. Suggest someplace new for Bob to visit; if you want to know where he has been, check his list on Facebook. Bob plans to write a sequel to his book when he reaches his goal of 100 countries.

Boyfriend may have stomach cancer
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 09-20-2013 - 1:34pm
OK my BF lives some 500km away from me. We used to text a lot, call each other (not so often), chat a lot. Suddenly early September he had almost stopped texting me for no apparent reason. He sent one or two messages saying that it there was too much work and would call/write. And then almost nothing - no fb messages nothing - I could see him log in for a while and then he was again off, mind you he was a very active user of fb, twitter, foursquare, and now almost nothing. I tried not to call - a lot - but finally I did, using another phone (so my number wouldn't appear): he told me he was in hospital. After a few days (last Sunday) he told me he was getting out of the hospital and that he was expecting the biopsies and something about a goldbladder surgery. I managed to talk with his brother (can't ask directly any member of his family as no one knows we have an affair) who told me that he has some goldbladder stones. Finally, yesterday (again cheating with the phone) he answered my call and told me that the biopsies weren't ready yet, and that they suspected stomach cancer. He told me that he wants to deal with it alone and that he is having a low profile, working all the time. Since that he has made a few check-ins in foursquare (this was our way to tell me where he was - he has a very busy schedule - if he couldn't call me), but he still doesn't call me back - or text me either.
So I wonder: have you any experience? how long do biopsy results take? is it good/bad/neutral that they delay? how can I support him in a long-distance relationship? how hard should I push to make him "accept" my support?
difficult questions I know...

10 DPO today
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 08-08-2012 - 5:12pm
Yesterday at 9 DPO I woke up with a random pain in my right lower back (feels like a sore muscle, but I definitely have not done anything to pull a muscle and I haven't slept "wrong" or different than any other night), and today it's still there in the same spot. Sometimes it kind of feels like it wraps around to my right hip area too. When I cough my very lower abdomen tightens for a second, I've been hot a lot this week, waking up to go pee a few times, strangely my acne is not out of control like it usually is right before AF is due, I've only had a few pimples pop up this week and they're gone already. Usually I have several very painful cystic acne that last for at least a week. Boobs aren't sore, but felt very heavy a few days ago. AF is due in about 4 days, we shall see what happens. What are your symptoms for the 1WW?
I've also felt slightly nauseous off and on this week . I'm trying not to test until AF is late, I don't want to set myself up for disappointment or stress, and then cause AF to be late because I'm anxious lol! But it's haaaard!
|Thu, 08-09-2012 - 8:12am
I'm 9DPO today. I've been feeling slightly off this week too, but I think it is mostly in my head. With DD I had an implantation dip at 6DPO and implantation spotting 7-9DPO....I haven't had any of that this time so I'm not very optimistic. Also with DD I swear if I hadn't gotten a +HPT I wouldn't have known I was pregnant until I started feeling the baby move.....I had minimal, if any, symptoms of pregnancy - so I don't really expect to get any now By my calc AF is due Monday, but FF says Tuesday or Wednesday. I will test Monday at the earliest if there are no signs of AF approaching.
I agree on the acne thing for me as well, but I too am trying not to get my hopes up. Good luck waiting and testing if you get to!

University of Akron researchers have created a transparent electrode they say could make smartphone displays shatterproof. They placed a transparent layer of electrodes on a polymer surface to produce a tough, flexible material. The film withstood Scotch tape peeling and bending tests. In the latter, the film survived after being bent 1,000 times. The new film is equally transparent but more conductive than conventional phone-screen materials, according to Yu Zhu, assistant professor of polymer science. He said the new material could replace indium tin oxide display coatings, which are brittle and likely to shatter, and are becoming more expensive to make. The researchers are publishing their work in the American Chemical Society journal ACS Nano. (EurekAlert)(The University of Akron)
Glassmaker Corning Inc. has announced it has developed the latest version of its Gorilla Glass. The company says Gorilla Glass 3 is more damage resistant than glass previously used in device displays. It reengineered the glass based on its atomic structure and bonding properties. The company is also promoting its use in larger format, multi-touch display applications such as in education or entertainment. Corning says the new product can handle three times more force before experiencing damage and also reduces scratch visibility by 40 percent. Gorilla Glass is used in smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and TVs. Corning expects device manufacturers to announce Gorilla Glass 3's availability in products in two or three months.

Just when you thought the passing Internet-fashion sensation #normcore had been left for dead six weeks ago, the New York Times goes and kicks some life back into it.
And after reading yesterday's trend piece/preemptive eulogy, we couldn't help but think about how the good name of normal, hardworking Normans everywhere was being dragged through the mud all over again. So we'd like to take a moment to salute the most #normcore of them all:

MSDS Management
3E made a name for itself with MSDS / SDS management solutions. 3E MSDS / SDS Management programs are flexible, scalable and modular, offering a variety of options and enhancements based on the EH&S information management needs of your organization.
3E MSDS On Demand®
3E MSDS On Demand offers live assistance 24-7-365 for all Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS or Safety Data Sheet) requests and provides access to the entire 3E database of millions of MSDSs / SDSs, which are sent via fax directly to a customer, their employees or other related callers.
3E Online®-MSDS
3E Online-MSDS is an award-winning service within the 3E Online service platform, providing online access to a customer's unique hazardous material inventory and associated MSDSs / SDSs 24-7-365. 3E has tiered its online MSDS / SDS management offerings, providing the ultimate flexibility to customers who have diverse compliance needs. Companies can choose from three editions: 3E Online-MSDS Silver, Gold or Platinum. A variety of add-on enhancement modules are also available, ensuring customers only pay for the functionality they need. As companies' compliance needs evolve, customers can migrate to the advanced version best suited to their needs.
3E Mobile-MSDS
Subscribers to any edition of 3E Online-MSDS (Silver, Gold or Platinum) also have access to 3E Mobile-MSDS. 3E Mobile-MSDS puts our database of millions of MSDSs / SDSs right in the palm of your hand! iPhone®, Blackberry®, Android™ and other device users can access 3E Mobile and their inventory of MSDSs / SDSs, saving valuable time and bolstering EH&S regulatory compliance by ensuring reliable access to critical product safety data and information. 3E Mobile-MSDS is ideal for remote employees, employees or travel, or work in rugged environments. Utility, construction, transportation, and manufacturing industries can all benefit from improved access to MSDSs / SDSs and related information via smartphones.
MSDS Data Integration with third party systems
3E can provide seamless integration of MSDS / SDS data with various third party applications, including EMIS and ERP systems. Standard offerings include integration with:
- ADM™-VMSDS - SAP® users can extract more value from the SAP EHS Management application by feeding raw material vendor MSDSs / SDSs and associated data directly into the specification database using ADM (Ariel Data Manager) - VMSDS. A list of vendor products is all that is required for 3E to cross-reference against its massive library. In the event the MSDS / SDS doesn't already exist in our database, 3E will proactively obtain it directly from your supplier on your behalf. And, 3E can assume the burden of maintaining MSDS / SDS revisions on an on-going basis, providing employees access to the most recent available version.
- 3E Integrated MSDS Data for MSDgen - Integrating 3E's MSDS / SDS management data and services with MSDgen facilitates the more efficient development of hazard communication documentation and enables more effective management of vendor raw material MSDSs / SDSs. The solution extracts key physical-chemical data from the MSDS / SDS and loads it directly into MSDgen, eliminating the need for the author to manually enter the information into MSDgen. MSDgen users are also able to leverage 3E's unique MSDS / SDS obtainment and revision maintenance capabilities.
- 3E MSDS Management for CISPro® - Full synchronization between 3E Online-MSDS and the CISPro chemical inventory system with 3E's integrated MSDS / SDS module provides instant access to up-to-date MSDSs / SDSs associated with any material that is in the user's CISPro inventory database.
- 3E MSDS Management for SciQuest - Full synchronization between 3E Online-MSDS and SciQuest's Enterprise Reagent Manager (ERM) system with 3E's integrated MSDS / SDS module provides instant access to up-to-date MSDSs / SDSs associated with any material that is in the user's ERM system.
Value-Added Services
The 3E EH&S Mission Control Center handles thousands of call each week to assist customers with MSDS / SDS requests, chemical spills and poison exposure emergencies. All 3E MSDS / SDS management customers have access to these powerful value-added resources.
3E Poison & Exposure - Immediate toll free access via 3E's EH&S Mission Control Call Center to poison control specialists, physicians, and toxicologists who provide medical advice related to chemical exposures, including skin/eye contact, inhalation and ingestion. Physicians are board certified in internal medicine, emergency medicine, occupational medicine, and medical toxicology. Veterinarians are board certified in internal medicine and veterinary toxicology. Other professional staff is certified as Diplomats of the American Board of Toxicology, Specialists in Poison Information and Veterinary Technicians. Customer-specific profiles are developed and maintained to track multiple facilities, fax numbers, contact names and other critical customer information. When an incident occurs, customer profiles enhance 3E's ability to provide effective and responsive customer service.
- 3E Spill - Immediate toll free access to timely information resources and professional guidance for chemical spill management, 24-7-365. To ensure compliance with regulations administered by agencies such as EPA, DOT and OSHA, as well as state or province regulatory reporting requirements, 3E's professionals determine if immediate and/or follow-up reports are necessary and file them on a customer's behalf.
The 3E Difference
3E does not simply collect MSDSs / SDSs that are available from free websites, but has spent nearly two decades assembling and maintaining its MSDS / SDS database via its Manufacturer Alliance Department, which consists of a dedicated, full-time team of specialists who obtain documents directly from, and maintain relationships with tens of thousands of manufacturers all over the world.
Each of 3E's services comes with a variety of options and enhancement modules that can be configured based on a customer's EH&S information management needs. Contact us for more information today.
