It should be in the trunk on the right (passenger) side under a panel.
Answer #2overbys from Overbys Inc, March 14, 2011, 08:57Master
the battery is in the right side of the trunk. if you
have a battery module located on top of the battery, you
will need to have the battery installed by a BMW specialty shop.

There is now a "treatment" for a yeast infection. It is called Yeast Gard. It has no side effects. Actually, it has no effects. Here are the "active" ingredients: Candida albicans 28x, Candida parapsilosis 28x, Pulsatilla 28x. Since I had no idea what these things are – I had to look them up. You're gonna love this…. (From Wikipedia)
Candida albicans is a diploid fungus (a form of yeast) and a causal agent of opportunistic oral and genital infections in humans.
Candida parapsilosis is a fungal species of the yeast family that has become a significant cause of sepsis and of wound and tissue infections in immuno-compromised patients.
The genus Pulsatilla includes about 30 species, many of which are valued for their finely-dissected leaves, solitary bell-shaped flowers, and plumed seed heads. The anthers are bright yellow and the purple bell consists of sepals.
Ah, that's lovely. Add a bunch of gel with the "memory" of yeast (aka, a bunch of gel with nothing in it) to your vagina, and your yeast infection should clear up in a couple of days! Even though your yeast infection probably would have cleared up in a couple of days if you did nothing. Ah, scams, aren't they lovely?
Though the thing I find most amusing is that whenever someone recommends a post or article to me (like this one), 90% of the time it's about vaginas/penises/boobies/sex. Well, there's usually some sort of skeptical bent to it, or it's inane enough to need my commentary or debunking. You guys know me too well (I mean, look, I already had a "vagina" tag). Kind of love it that sex makes you think of me!

On the way back from a corporate shoot in Wellington, we spotted lots of people looking over the side of Oriental Bay at the water. I pulled over to check out what all the fuss was about and saw 3 Orca coming right in close to the waters edge. They were juvenile Orca – the big ones were out in the middle of the bay. It was incredible seeing them so close, playing with each other and rolling around in the shallow water.
Cars were pulling over at random places with people just in awe looking into the water. A bus even stopped dead in its tracks and the driver got out to take a look. A fire engine going the other way also stopped, meaning all traffic was halted both ways!

An off-duty police officer is recovering after getting hit in an early Sunday morning shooting in the Bronx.
Police said Nelson Vergara was returning to his Bronx home just before 5 a.m. when he came across a group of men drinking near Phelan Place in Morris Heights.
They said Vergara confronted the men after one of them threw a bottle at him.
That's when a man in a green Honda pulled up, got out and opened fire, in what police said was an attempt to hit the bottle thrower.
Vergara was hit in the left shoulder and right shin, according to police. Authorities said the bottle-thrower was also hit.
Police said Vergara shot back and hit the driver in the hip.
Officials said both the driver and the bottle-thrower are in custody and several others are being questioned. They are investigating the reason behind the dispute.
"Today, the news is not tragic," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said of the incident. "Because of the work, and perhaps because of the grace of God, we've not lost a member of the NYPD to gun violence this year."
"It was pretty loud," said one witness. "Not that quick but loud, constant, 'pop pop.' I thought people were celebrating. I didn't know they were getting injured."
Officials said Vergara is a 12-year police veteran and a former Marine who took two leaves from the NYPD to serve in Iraq. His half-brother John Lopez is also an NYPD detective. In 2006, Lopez was off duty with his family when two robbery suspects tried to carjack him. Lopez chased them and got shot in the leg.

Researchers Say Cannabidiol (CBD) Can Protect Against Neurodegenerative Disease
Brazilian Research Found CBD Combats Excess Iron In The Brain
With the advances in science, the life expectancy is much longer now than it was 100 years ago. While this is certainly a positive thing, it means that more and more people are being affected by neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's.
"Iron is deposited in parts of the body and gradually builds up. Excess iron is linked to various diseases, such as: liver fibrosis, heart attacks, and cancer."
Unfortunately, there is still a lot that we don't know about neurodegenerative diseases. Much of what we do know can be attributed to Dr. George Bartzokis.
Knowing that iron builds up in certain parts of our body over time, he investigated the effect iron has on brain development. In his research, he found a link between excess levels of iron and brain degradation.
One of the areas where the brain stores iron is the basal ganglia. Interestingly enough, that is the area that is often associated with diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. The excess iron is deemed responsible for the cognitive deficits associated with the diseases.
Iron Effects Mitochondria Dynamics, Triggers Cell Death
To best understand the study published in the July issue of Molecular Neurobiology, it helps to understand the role of mitochondria; they are found in most cells and housed inside of a membrane. Because mitochondria generate most of a cell's chemical energy, they are often referred to as the "cellular power plant." It is their job to control cell processes, like aptosis (or programmed cell death).
One deficit associated with neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, is less chemical energy at the synapses (where cells pass signals to each other). This suggests that mitochondria may play a key role in maintaining an efficient circuit of neurons in the brain. The iron seems to disrupt the dynamics of the mitochondria, causing them to initiate more cell death than normal.
CBD May Benefit Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease Patients
Influenced by past studies, which showed cannabidiol helps recover iron-induced memory deficits, researchers from Pontifical Catholic University in Brazil examined the relationship between CBD and neurodegenerative diseases in this study. They focused on the mitochondria in order to understand how cannabidiol (CBD) helps those suffering from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
First, the researchers overloaded rats with iron and treated some of them with cannabidiol. They found high levels of dynamin-1-like (DNM1L) and caspase 3, proteins associated with cell death, as a result of excess iron. This gives further proof to the idea that iron disrupts the balance of mitochondria.
"CBD should be considered as a potential molecule with memory-rescuing and neuroprotective properties." – Pontifical Catholic University researchers
The study found promising results when they examined the effect of cannabidiol. The levels of DNM1L and caspase 3 in the hippocampus returned to the normal levels with CBD treatment.
Because those are the proteins associated with cell death, the researchers concluded that CBD may have protected the brain from the rapid cell death associated with iron.
The effects that iron build-up has on the brain is apparent; it is very closely tied to the onset of Alzheimer's disease, among other neurodegenerative diseases. To this point, our knowledge of how to treat neurodegenerative diseases is sparse, but these findings are promising. More research is certainly necessary, but cannabidiol treatment could prove to be a successful way of preventing brain degradation.

Thank you for the excellent article about the Dallas Sidekicks team and Coach Jago written by Robert Wilonsky ["Net loss," October 9]--something Dallas Sidekicks fans are not likely to read in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Thank you for the insight into Coach Jago. Coach Jago and the players have class--something few professional players have today. I have always felt that my family's time spent watching the Sidekicks play professional soccer on TV or in person was and is always time well spent!

It takes a village
I am responding to your article written about Carlos Jackson and the oasis that he created in West Dallas ["Hollow victory," October 9]. Carlos is one of the greatest African-American minds here in Dallas. His vision was ahead of its time in a city that opposes any kind of mental freedom for African-Americans. The power structure of this city's management team made Mr. Jackson Public Enemy Number One in the early '90s. The real crime that was committed was that the so-called leaders in the African-American community did nothing to assist Mr. Jackson with his efforts. If it cannot put them in the limelight, then they feel that certain topics are not important enough for their celebrity status.
Dallas' marketing is based on the Wild West, from the Cowboys to the Rangers--even the Mavericks. The fashion is ropers, boots, stirrups, and let us not forget the ten-gallon hats. This city is definitely not an inclusive, multi-cultural environment that is productive for everyone. This "Old Western" image is portrayed to the world to hide the extremely abhorrent racist activities that occur in this city all day, every day. Come to think of it, how many African-Americans did you see in Bonanza, or The Wild Wild West, or Maverick, or John Wayne films? None.
I would hope that one day all of these self-appointed leaders would stay out of the limelight long enough to actually accomplish something. Mr. Jackson is proof that when you are really trying to make a change for African-Americans in this city, you don't have to be a stage monkey for the media for people to notice you. Unfortunately, those city officials who were watching Mr. Jackson wanted to make sure that no one else saw him or his endeavors.
Mr. Jackson and his family are a testament to the struggle for the mental liberation of African-Americans here in Dallas. The compound was a catalyst of knowledge for African-Americans that is still present in their minds to this day. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson.

Human beasts
I feel so sorry for the animal owners that were victimized by this "vet" ["Dr. Lucas' little shop of horrors," October 9]. Yet I can't help wondering why, with all the complaints that were lodged against her in the past, it took so long for the State of Texas to do something about it. She is obviously seriously impaired, and I hope the sentence handed down includes rehab and a psych evaluation before they [Texas] ever reinstate her license. She needs help.

I can't express the horror I felt while reading about Dr. Lucas. What possesses someone to do things like this? The animals can't tell us their feelings--the trauma and horror they went through. What a truly wicked world we are living in!
Via e-mail
Thanks are in order for the Observer for their recent article on the veterinarian Lissa Lucas. What would have passed through the metroplex's collective consciousness as a barely perceptible blip on the media horizon, a grisly tale that rated a mere "tsk, tsk" during the evening news, became an important reminder to us of just how heinous our fellow man and woman can be.
There is an additional footnote worth mentioning when one comes across outrageous incidents like this: These human monsters that arise from time to time, abusing and raining cruelty and torment on animals--they didn't just pop up like a poisonous toadstool after a summer front blew through. What is most frightening about these individuals is that they never operate in a vacuum. They have done this before, on a lesser or greater scale, and will do it again and again until someone or something stops them. And worst of all, if they're not caught in time, they are the ones most likely to graduate to greater crimes.
These are exactly the kinds of people that become our cruelest murderers--because they've already had so much practice on other victims.

Viewers Vote 'NO' on Election Ads
Submitted: 11/07/2012
- The end of the election means the end of the political ads. Today we spoke to viewers about the ads they're happy to live without.
After the votes were tallied, we had a clear winner for the "Most Hated Ad" in the Northwoods.
"You're Damn Right!" said Tom Moritz of Rhinelander.
"'You're Damn Right'! That was sooo annoying!" said Tammy Gobert of Rhinelander.
The constant stream of political ads might annoy people, but do they really sway voters? "No, not at all," says Moritz.
The people I spoke to said the ads are too extreme. Their main complaint? Taking things out of context.
"If it's not the whole truth, isn't it a lie?" said Virginia Kreft of Rhinelander.
Some say the ads do more than twist the truth, they turn us against each other.
"They polarize the two parties and they've polarized Americans. I guess I'd have to say that's how I'd sum it up. The whole campaign was so Un-American," said Kreft.
Voters say, next election, a more straightforward, less backhanded campaign would be much appreciated.
"I think if the candidates would have just ignored what somebody was saying about them and just kept on the issues and what they were going to do to improve things, they probably would have won in a landslide," said Moritz.
According to the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism, presidential candidates spent $45 million in advertising in Wisconsin, and over $800 million nationwide.

Gabriel Dominguez is awfully calm for a man whose office at Southport Lanes in Lakeview is a claustrophobic's worst nightmare: 10 feet long and slightly wider than an average person's wingspan.
It also features a rather unusual occupational hazard.
"I am ready for the ball," he said confidently.
Seconds later, it becomes apparent why.
A dull hum quickly becomes the roar of a train engine before crescendoing in a violent collision that sends a bowling ball flying into a back wall and pins scattering in its wake.
"If this ball caught your legs, they're probably broken so I always have protection," he said. "Always."
The 36-year-old Albany Park resident is one of a handful of people in the entire country who holds a job title about as outdated as milkman or cobbler: bowling pinsetter.
Unlike most bowling alleys, which have since switched over to machines that automatically set up pins, Southport Lanes stations two manual pinsetters at the end of its four lanes to do it all by hand.
"Overall we have about six pinsetters (total)," general manager Phil Carneol said. "They do a lot of other odd jobs throughout the bar. They just don't pinset. Sometimes they bar-back, sometimes they work in the kitchen. They do all kinds of jobs."
Pinsetters will take two lanes each, standing in whichever of their two lanes isn't being bowled on to avoid getting hit. Dominguez said the key to success at the end of the lanes is equal parts physical and mental stamina.
"When the customer sends me the ball in Lane 3, I need to wait in Lane 4," he said. "When I go to set up Lane 3, another customer sends me the ball in Lane 4 so it's one by one, one by one."
A typical day at the office for a pinsetter is an exercise in organized chaos.
Before a recent private party, Dominguez invited RedEye back to the lanes to give a tutorial on how to be a perfect pinsetter.
"Our room is small, so I need to pick up the pins, I need to pick up the balls continually," he said. "You need to take four pins at a time. Usually it's fine. When we're very busy, you need to take five pins. When you are very busy, you need to work hard."
And make no mistake, it is hard work.
Once the pins are knocked down, pinsetters must bend over and pick up the pins, moving the ones that have been knocked over to the side and making sure the remaining ones are set. They then hoist the ball onto the wooden ramp and return it to the bowler before retreating to the safety of the unused lane.
To set a new rack, pinsetters must lay all ten pins flat into specific slots in the manual setting machine before pushing and pulling on the handle that controls it so that they all stay steady.
"It's like exercise," he said. "Sometimes I am making a lot of exercise. It's funny because the manager and all the staff are very nice with us because they know the work is hard."
His boss, quite literally, feels his pain.
Pinsetters at Southport Lanes are always on strike

Carnival Liberty Cruise Review by okgladmom: Carnival Liberty cruise was much enjoyed

Compare Prices on Carnival Liberty Eastern Caribbean Cruises
Carnival Liberty cruise was much enjoyed
My husband and I chose the Liberty based on it's itinerary. This was our 4th cruise, 3rd with Carnival. We flew to Miami Friday night and stayed at the Airport Embassy Suites. We left the hotel at 11:00 a.m. and arrived at the port at 11:30. The taxi cost $25. After a simple check-in, we were onboard enjoying rum punch by 12:45. The Carnival employees at check-in were courteous and helpful. We found our Aft balcony cabin at 3:00, with our bags waiting at the door. The muster drill lasted about 20 min. Dinner the first evening was open seating but we had late seating the rest of the week. Food selections were plentiful and we often chose 2 appetizer/salad selections. We ordered from the Wine package before sailing by calling Carnival's Bon Voyage dept. and the coupons were delivered to our table the first night. We also ordered a bottle of rum from the gift dept. and it was waiting in our cabin. We ordered drink coupons as well and they were also delivered to us at dinner. While these More
things weren't necessarily cheaper, they weren't added to our sail and sign account, but were charged to our credit card before we left. That way, we spread the costs out over a couple of cards. I brought along a small plastic bottle to put rum in that we took with us to the pool areas and for our day at Half Moon Cay to "doctor" up the drinks a bit. The mini-bar in the cabin is stocked with sodas, beer and airplane sized liquor bottles. Our room steward asked us if we wanted it unlocked. You can also have them remove all the items in the fridge if you want to put your own items there.
We enjoyed the Serenity area on deck 10. The lounge chairs there are a little nicer and it's definitely quieter there. However, you need to get up there early, around 8:00 on mornings at sea. There aren't a lot of chairs available and they go quickly.
I can think of three things that bothered us a bit. One, people need to clean up a bit more for dinner in the dining room. We saw people there that looked like they had just finished their Saturday morning grocery shopping. We figure if the waiters can wear nice suit/uniforms, serve us on white table cloths and cloth napkins with numerous utensils, we can put on a shirt nicer than a T-shirt. Two, while I'm happy the housekeeping staff kept our cabins clean and tidy, we could do without having to dodge their carts in the hallways. Not only the carts, there were usually vacuum cleaners and cleaning buckets full of dirty water sitting in the hallway. I don't leave those items out all day while I'm cleaning, why should they? Third, Carnival really needs to do something about crowd control on port day. I'll address it specifically in the St. Thomas review below.
Disembarkation day was completely chaotic due to the technical problem on Thursday night that slowed us down to a crawl and then on Friday with the helicopter rescue for the ill crew member. I won't spend a lot of time here since it's been addressed in several other reviews. However, I will tell you to NOT book your airplane trip home before noon. If you can't get a flight after 12:00 or so, you really need to plan on going home the next day. No reason to stress out over not being able to get off the ship as planned. Issues come up and accidents happen. You need to be prepared for them. Booking a flight before noon for an 8:00 port arrival is asking for trouble.
Overall, we enjoyed our week on the Liberty very much. The 2.0 upgrade is evident. Guy's Hamburgers were amazing. If you're a chocolate fan, be sure to ask when the chocolate buffet is. We just stumbled upon it one afternoon. Entertainment was so-so. They put the comedians in the Punchliner Comedy Club instead of the main Venetian Palace. It was extremely crowded and hard to see the stage while sitting in the back. Less

Cabin review: Carnival Liberty Balcony Verandah
Our cabin was 7446, Deck 7, Empress. It was an Aft balcony. We enjoyed the view from the back of the ship. King bed, three closets, vanity, tv, mini-bar, safe, two clothing drawers and one misc. drawer. Only one electrical outlet in the cabin with another in the bathroom (it's at the top of the mirror). Keep in mind, this is as far back on the ship as you can go which means the walk back there can take a while. Maybe it helped walk off a few calories!

text: The Diversity Engagement Survey Click Here to Take the Survey Survey FAQ's The Diversity Engagement Survey is More Than Just a Survey! There is a growing recognition that diversity and inclusion are driving indicators of excellence in academic medicine, and there is an increasing need to measure institutional climate and culture around these factors. Thus, the Diversity Engagement Survey (DES) was developed as a tool to measure institutional climate and culture through the lens of diversity and inclusion. By Completing the DES You Will: Support UTMB's efforts toward building a highly engaged, inclusive workforce and student body by identifying baseline strengths and weakness, as well as supporting a strategic direction for diversity and inclusion work. Help UTMB measure progress of diversity plans in response to regulatory agencies such as the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), the Joint Commission and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP). Raise awareness of diversity-related efforts across the institution. About the Survey The DES was developed by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), The University of Massachusetts Medical School and The University of Texas Medical Branch. The survey is being administered by DataStar, Inc., an independent survey management firm responsible for the collection, compilation, and analysis of the data. All responses will be completely confidential and will be sent directly to DataStar, so no one at UTMB will be able to track a response back to an individual. Results will be provided in aggregate form and will be compared to benchmark data from 14 AAMC member institutions. The DES consists of inclusion and diversity-related questions. The inclusion items measure the campus environment as it relates to interpersonal, academic, and professional interactions. The diversity items measure the experience of individuals and groups on campus, the quality and extent of the interactions between individuals and groups and how individuals and groups are integrated in the institutions structure. The entire survey takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete and will be open until midnight on Friday, Aug. 29. Paper copies of the survey also are available in Bethel Hall, Room 2.201, and in the Jamail Student Center For more information, please contact: Department of Human Resources Office of Diversity and Inclusion (409) 747-4862 email@example.com Thank you for your interest in the Diversity Engagement Survey!

Unfortunately, it looks like that's going to be it. ST 2 Lettaz, one half of the group, tells Spin that he and partner Yung Clova have parted ways: "It just felt like it was time. It was time to go elsewhere creatively. We've been doing records since 2004. You just grow up and grow out and that's kind of the case."
ST has a new solo EP called R.E.B.E.L. coming soon; check out the violent video for his track "Wishing Well" below.
R.E.B.E.L. could be coming as soon as 9/17.

The before doll is my part to the collab: A touch of Black and Red
The after doll is my part to the new collab: A touch of Black and Red 2nd Power
I've wanted to see how much I have improved and hell yeah I did. I mean look at the old one's hair it's yuck in comparison with the new one's hair and before I was drawing the same clothes 'cause I didn't know how to make other clothes and I was afraid to try 'cause I trough I might fail OTL
On the old doll it was the first time I've pixeled a face and I remember I've wanted to do a different expression but I've kept on failing; on the after doll I trough I should change the expression but I've changed my mind c: and I wanted to keep the old expression 'cause it's cute :3
The left one was made in MSPaint and the right one in GIMP.
Base by ~ScorpionPixels
Rose is mine
{ Thanks~! I've made the doll not the base; the link to the base and the person who made it are at the end of the description }

Dáil Éireann - Volume 489 - 31 March, 1998
Written Answers. - Radioactive Waste.
Ms McManus Ms McManus
19. Ms McManus asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if he has received the report of the task force on radioactive dumping in the Irish Sea; when it is intended to publish the report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8007/98]
Mr. Finucane Mr. Finucane
46. Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if he will publish the task force report on the dumping of radioactive [507] waste; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7802/98]
Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources (Dr. Woods) Michael J. Woods
Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources (Dr. Woods): I propose to take Questions Nos. 19 and 46 together.
I understand that the work of the Task Force on the Dumping of Radioactive Materials in the Maritime Area is at an advanced stage and the preparation of its report is under way. I expect to receive the report shortly.
As Deputies will recall, I established the task force last year in the wake of revelations by the UK authorities that documents had been discovered in the Public Record Office in London which indicated that radioactive waste had been dumped in the Beaufort Dyke in the North Irish Sea during the 1950s. Subsequent archival searches revealed hitherto unreported instances of dumping in Beaufort Dyke and at a number of other locations around the coast of the United Kingdom during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
The Government was very concerned by these revelations. Accordingly, I asked the task force to review and assess the information becoming available on the dumping of radioactive materials in the maritime area and, based on this review, to advise on survey-monitoring and management measures to ensure maximum protection to our marine resources and restore public confidence in the quality of the marine environment.
The task force, which is chaired by Nuala Butler, barrister, includes representatives from the Radiological Protection Institute, University College, Dublin, the Marine Institute, the Department of Public Enterprise and the Department of the Marine and Natural Resources.
As I previously indicated, it is my intention to publish the report of the task force.

lies dormant
in a dark, dank tomb
wrapped in linens and spice
But not for long
because His love is strong
lies dormant
in a dark, dank tomb
wrapped in linens and spice
But not for long
because His love is strong
Betrayed with a kiss
by one whose feet
He washed
but whose heart
remained unclean
Denied three times
by one whose feet
He washed
but who felt remorse
and was restored
May we all be like Peter
and not Judas
If Christ is not risen, we have no hope
But the resurrection is our sure truth
Death destroyed wins for us Christ's righteous robe
If Christ is not risen, we have no hope
We would be pitied and no way to cope
Would waste all our days to old age from youth
If Christ is not risen, we have no hope
But the resurrection is our sure truth
I was alone (or so I thought)
I felt there was no hope
with all life's trial
with the feelings I felt
with the success I achieved
with the duties life dealt
I felt alone, but You were there
watching over me
I felt alone, but You always cared
gave the hope I now see
* * * * *
I was going through some old papers as part of our spring break project to clean out and paint our spare bedroom, and I found a piece of paper with this poem handwritten on it. I don't know when I wrote it, but it is definitely my handwriting so I thought I'd share it here as part of my 40 poems for Lent.
Even though I've betrayed You
walked away towards sin
You are ever faithful
when I return You take me in
Even though I've been prideful
walking my own way
You are ever humble
gave all for me that day
Even though I doubt sometimes
and find it hard to trust
You know what's deep in my heart
You are always merciful and just
Praise to God the Father
Alleluia to the Son
Lord of all creation
Man He did become
Savior of the human race
Undoing Satan's curse
Ne'er again will evil win
Divine victory in force
Alleluia to the Holy One
Yesterday's prophecy fulfilled
Tomorrow is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, but since I'm not posting on Sunday's for Lent I decided to post this today.
Great love
Calvary's tree
blood was shed for you, me
peace, mercy in the midst of pain
The good work that God has begun
He will ensure is completed
In our heart, in our soul He's won
The good work that God has begun
We are not yet finished, not done
In Christ we are not defeated
The good work that God has begun
He will ensure is completed
I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:3-6 (NIV).
In this race I run
toward the finish line
I feel quite undone
Though my stride is fine
I fear I won't win
victory isn't mine
Weighed down by my sin
moving very slow
faith is running thin
Recall what I know
His victory won
faith starting to grow
The race justly done
all because of grace
my trust in the Son
I really love the elfje short form of poetry that I discovered last week. Today I want to share a triad of elfje based on the Gospel — a reminder that three is a wonderful number.
eleven disciples
unlike the betrayer
brought me the Gospel.
Heaven's light
blinding apostle Paul
taught me the Gospel.
The King
royal robes
adorn the King
source of the Gospel.

Planetary Resources including CubeSats in its space telescopes
You remember that crazy company backed by a whole bunch of not-so-crazy people that plans to go out and mine asteroids for fun and profit, right? It turns out that Planetary Resources is the special kind of crazy that's out to better humanity, and one of the ways it's doing that is by adding CubeSats to its space telescopes.
CubeSats are sats that are cubes. What, you want more detail than that? Okay fine: a CubeSat is a satellite that's stuffed into a standardized cube 10 centimeters on a side and weighing no more than a few pounds. They're usually covered in solar panels and only last for a couple of years, but as far as satellites go, they're damn cheap: educational institutions can build them without having to write massive grants, which is inevitably a tedious and soul-sucking process.
What isn't quite as cheap is the actual launch process, which (even for something so small), can still easily run into the several tens of thousands of dollars per sat. This is where Planetary Resources comes in: in order to mine asteroids, it's going to need to find asteroids. And in order to find asteroids, it's going to need space telescopes. Lots of them. We've heard rumors of everything from "fleets" to "swarms" of its Arkyd-100 design. While it's sending all of these things up, Planetary has decided that it may as well stuff a CubeSat into each, because why the heck not.
The first time a CubeSat-equipped telescope launches, that CubeSat will be getting a free ride, and you (YOU!) can participate in an online CubeSat design challenge if you want to try and score the spot. If you don't win, though, it's probable that Planetary will be getting a bulk discount for all the stuff it wants to launch into orbit (likely with Virgin), and if it decides to pass those savings on to you, it could be a big step towards making space that much more accessible to those of us trying to build orbital microdeathrays in our garages.

BOSTON (AP) - The owners of the Boston Red Sox are denying reports that they might try to buy the struggling Boston Globe.
The team released a statement Thursday that said neither owners John Henry and Tom Werner nor any other affiliates of the Red Sox were involved in efforts to buy the newspaper.
Published reports have claimed Henry was exploring a deal to take control of the Globe along with The New York Times Co.'s stake in the Red Sox.
The Times Co. announced in January it wanted to sell its 17.8 percent stake in New England Sports Ventures, which owns the Red Sox, Fenway Park and other properties. The Times Co. also has threatened to shut down the Globe unless its unions agree to cut annual labor costs by $20 million.

Harry Potter Takes Over the Subway
Yesterday, there were Harry Potter readers everywhere you turned. Every other person on the train had their heads burried in a thick book.
Today, there seems to be even more! Maybe yesterday made the closet Potter fans feel ok with taking their books out.
Most people took of the paper jackets on their copy, so all you could see was the orange and green hard cover. However, you still know it is a Potter book because people have them clutched to their chests as if they were made of gold.
Subway riders seem a little more focused on finding a good spot to pull out their books and read. The seats are full of HP readers. There's some people standing, but that huge book seems like a bit too much to handle while also trying to keep your balance.
So here's the game of the day. Count the Harry Potter books. When you are on the train later today, see how many you can spot.
I'll kick it off with 6 so far.
Live from the subway, back to you in studio…

Fabulous Foaming Face Wash is a standard, water-soluble cleanser that contains scrub particles from polyethylene (a type of plastic). This is a very good cleanser/scrub option for normal to oily skin, and it does contain some soothing botanicals as claimed. Although the soothing agents are a nice touch, they're best left on skin, which isn't how a cleanser is used. The tiny amount of peptide is wasted in a cleanser—again, peptides are best in leave-on products. Although the price seems steep (and by most standards it is) at least Bliss supplies a generous amount of cleanser.
A two-in-one, oil-free exfoliating face wash for all skin types. A non-stripping formula that rebalances even the most schizophrenic skins.
Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide DEA, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Polyethylene, Triethanolamine, Rosa Canina Leaf Extract, Silybum Marianum Seed Extract, Passiflora Incarnata Flower Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Leaf Extract, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, PEG-12 Glyceryl Distearate, Glucosamine, Pentylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Fragrance, Benzyl Benzoate, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Methylisothiazolinone
The way Bliss came to be one of the more successful and well-known spa locations around makes an intriguing story. Marcia Kilgore, a native of Canada, was a student at New York's Columbia University—but when her tuition plans fell through she had no choice but to fall back on her one marketable skill, personal training. Yet even though her venture was blossoming, she was routinely troubled by her complexion and ended up enrolling in a skin-care course where the seeds of a future empire were planted. Kilgore developed a knack and passion for facials, and soon she was on her way to becoming a beauty guru among Manhattan's celebrities and social elite. As Kilgore expanded from a one-room spa to a small business, word spread of her talents, and in July 1996 Bliss was established with the goal of offering "super-effective treatments in an uncontrived 'no-attitude' atmosphere."
What immediately set Bliss apart from the then relatively quiet spa business was Kilgore's sense of irreverence and openness, and her commitment to skill and jazzed-up product formulations that are seemingly right on the pulse of what consumers are looking for, namely natural botanicals, exotic scents, and anything and everything that can duplicate (as closely as possible) the spa experience at home. When products used during services started disappearing from the spa, it was a none-too-subtle clue that customers liked what they experienced—though spa techniques can go a long way toward making inadequate products seem exceptional. Kilgore noticed, and began to consider retailing them to her clients.
In 1999, Kilgore entered a partnership with luxury goods conglomerate and Sephora owner Louis Vuitton-Moet-Hennessey (LVMH), and sold them a 70% stake in the company. Her business skyrocketed as new spa locations opened, and dozens of new products have been created. The Bliss products are available in some department stores, Sephora, and through the Bliss catalog and Web site. Interestingly, Sephora still promotes the line even though LVMH sold it to Starwood Hotels and Resorts in 2004. Several Starwood-owned properties now sport or will soon be opening Bliss spas. Kilgore is moving away from the empire she created (though she still consults for them) and in 2007 launched a new line, Soap & Glory.
Uniquely effective or revolutionary formulas are not what sets Bliss products apart. Rather, the descriptions and claims for almost every Bliss-labeled product make "too good to be true" sound utterly ordinary by comparison. No wonder these products generate so much interest. Rather than contain everything but the kitchen sink, they claim to fix or improve everything but the kitchen sink! Kilgore admitted in the March 2007 issue of Vogue, "Legally you can't claim a product does anything; otherwise it would be a drug." That's not entirely true. For example, it is perfectly legal to claim a cleanser cleans skin and a moisturizer improves dryness and leave skin feeling soft. Those are real actions, but not ones with a druglike effect. Perhaps she made that remark after having removed herself from the Bliss spotlight, but it's telling that the woman who created so many cleverly named and fancifully articulated products goes against her own statement by attaching all manner of druglike claims to almost all of the products Bliss sells. Despite the spin and recycling of inaccurate information, there are some worthy products to take home after your visit to a Bliss spa. As a Bliss client, placing your faith in the entire product line and its false promises is the mistake to avoid—your money is better spent enjoying a massage or hydrotherapy treatment.

Bliss Makeup
Without a doubt, the Bliss line is primarily about skin care. Their once comprehensive-but-still-boutique-like makeup collection has dwindled to a handful of products. Apparently, their own brand of cleverly named, cutely described cosmetics wasn't selling as well as items from other lines sold on the company's Web site. Although there isn't much available, all but one of Blisslabs' makeup products is recommended, though in most cases you can find less-expensive versions at the drugstore.
The last ingredient in this review is not the last ingredient on the Ulta website ingredient list for this product.ThePeptide is actually listed as the last ingredient.. There is absolutely no way I would put this on my face.
This is a very good mildly foaming cleanser that is good for most skin type. I have very sensitive skin that is prone to dryness, acne, rashes, redness, and welts. This product was mild enough for my skin while still cleaning well. It does have a strong but pleasant scent but it did not irritate my skin in any way.

I have seen plantains being served in large leaves like the article mentioned. I thought it was great because plantains are very firm and hard to cook, not to mention kind of bland. I think the cooks had roasted them and cooked them in the leaves with some other ingredients. It was very delicious.
I think I could probably do the same with aluminum foil or parchment paper and get similar results. Has anyone tried cooking plantains en papillote? How did it come out? Any suggestions for me before I give it a try?

To help get to know who is behind Wrexham.com we are creating mini profiles in the style of 'myWrexham' for each.
Liam Randall:
1. What is your name and what do you do?
My name is Liam Randall and I'm a reporter for Wrexham.com
2. How long have you been in or around Wrexham?
I've lived in the Little Acton area of Wrexham since I was born.
3. What do you think sets Wrexham apart from other towns & cities?
The people of Wrexham, sometimes we're much maligned, but I've met a lot of great people in the town over the years many of whom are very passionate about the place.
4. What is your favourite Wrexham landmark?
In terms of somewhere which means a lot to me emotionally it would have to be the Racecourse Ground, a lot of my happiest memories are of watching Wrexham FC. The parish church is a close second as it's an iconic building and is steeped in a lot of history.
5. What is your favourite place to visit, or favourite thing to do in the local area?
Whenever Wrexham FC are playing at home on a Saturday I have a ritual of going to Kristinas Café by the old Kwik Save for large cooked breakfast before heading to the Racecourse for the match. Visiting both of those places is probably the highlight of my week.
6. If you had to pick your best memory connected with Wrexham, what would it be?
It's a fairly recent one, but marching through town to raise money for the football club players' wages comes to mind, it was heart warming to see so many people who still care for the club putting their money in and rallying round, that just shows the spirit of the town to me.
7. Where would you recommend to a visitor to the town to get a bite to eat and/or a drink?
The Pant Yr Ochain does very good quality food, for an Indian you can't beat Anise, Chinese I'd go for the Sleepy Panda, for lunches Brambles sandwich shop is always good and if you want a decent fried breakfast you can't beat Kristinas. I think that's most angles covered!
8. What is your favourite shop in Wrexham, and why?
Moonlight Records, it's one of the last independent music stores in the area after Phase One Records went under years ago and I've been going there for CDs and DVDs since I was a kid.
9. Is there anything that niggles you about the town at the moment?
My only real gripes are the number of out of town retail parks, which draw people away from independently owned stores in the town centre and searching for Wrexham on social networking sites and finding people putting the town down, although the latter isn't a gripe with the town itself.
10. What one thing makes you proud to be from Wrexham?
Wrexham FC

Press Releases
Little Brownie Baker Updated Information – February 26, 2010
The following is being provided to clarify reports on Lemon Chalet Crème cookies:
Teenage Girls Have Mixed Feeling About the Fashion Industry
Pittsburgh, PA – The increased scrutiny of the fashion industry and its use of ultra-thin models isn't without validation, as nearly 9 in 10 American teenage girls say that the fashion industry is at least partially responsible for "girls' obsession with being skinny," according to a national survey released this month by the Girl Scouts of the USA.
Lemon Chalet Crèmes™ Cookies Information
Little Brownie Bakers recently received a few contacts from consumers informing us of an off taste and smell from certain packages of Lemon Chalet Crème cookies. We immediately took the precautionary step of testing product samples. We determined that while the cookies are safe for consumers to eat, they are not up to our quality standards.

Darling Home For Kids Embraces UPS
US$55,550 grant from UPS helps support capital improvements
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Aug. 26, 2013 /CNW/ - UPSers and The Darling Home for Kids gathered together with the Minister of State (Sport) and the MP for Bramalea-Gore- Malton, Honourable Bal Gosal to celebrate a US$55,550 grant presentation, courtesy of The UPS Foundation.
"I am proud to be a part of this celebration that showcases the commitment of our local businesses to give back to our shared community through volunteerism and financial support," said Minister of State Gosal.
The Darling Home for Kids offers three core programs: respite, palliative and residential care for medically complex children and their families. To complement the respite and hospice care, the Home also offers therapeutic programs to assist in developmental and skills growth.Through the grant the Home will be able to make capital improvements that will assist in making service delivery more effective. Specifically, the scope of the project involves HVAC re-zoning for the Palliative Wing, expanding the size of the laundry area and the installation of a new ceiling lift. "We truly appreciate UPS's efforts to give back to their community," said Executive Director, Kristin Horrell, The Darling Home for Kids. "With this gift, some of the critical projects on our capital wish list will finally be realized." The Darling Home for Kids is a 12-bed pediatric hospice located in Milton, Ontario. The Home is committed to helping improve the quality of the lives of children and helping provide a comforting atmosphere at the Home, as well as with the Helping Hands Volunteer Program and the therapeutic programs. Organizations are nominated for grants by UPS employees and must have benefited from 50 hours of hands-on volunteering from UPS employees to qualify. UPS Canada employees volunteered more than 34,950 hours to more than 400 charitable organizations across Canada in 2012. Specifically at The Darling Home for Kids, 59 UPS volunteers contributed more than 270 hours. "I am thankful to have personal experience volunteering with the Home and know first hand the great work they do for children and families in our communities. It is my pleasure to present them with this grant to help them better serve their residents," said Frank Keller, vice-president of finance, UPS Canada and board member of The Darling Home for Kids. "At UPS, we have long believed in the commitment to supporting our communities through a balance of financial contributions and hands-on volunteering."

Adult CNS-EXAM - page 4
Hello all. I completed my MSN program in december, and sat for the Adult CNS exam yesterday... and i FAILED! such an embarrassment, humiliation, failure, I was so sure of myself and this test... everyone I talked to said not to... Read More
- 1Sep 5, '11 by madeinheaventhanks for the uplifting message. I went away for the Labor Day Weekend and feel a little better now!
- 0Sep 5, '11 by madeinheavenThanks for the encouragement! I am feeling a little less defeated after the weekend. A little time away helps!
- 0Sep 7, '11 by JoMoQuote from madeinheavenYou have my sympathy and understanding...happened to me in January!...I needed time to let the anger go. It's fading now and I'm starting to feel like I want to try it again. I was really depressed too. I let a lot of anxiety build related to the cost of taking the test & 'what if I failed?'...and I did. I have decided that I'm going with the I don't care attitude next time! But I will study...I have trouble with multiple choice...close answers. The Mometrix book tried to help with that but I think it confused me more. Give yourself some time...Hello,
I just took the Adult Pscyh and Mental Health CNS exam 2 days ago and failed! I couldn't believe it. I am so depressed as I had a job waiting for me once I passed. I had the Manometrix book, which was a waste of time. I bought the 150 questions and used the free 25 questions, none of which was similar to the test! I just signed up to take the Psych NP exam too, since they won't let me retake the CNS exam for 60 days. I just went online and ordered the Adult Psych NP review book from ANCC for $140 and also ordered a in home study course from Barkley for Family Psych NP, but it seems to have the same content as the CNS and NP exams. At least I will have 12 hrs of CD's to listen too. Some of the questions were totally crazy and I just couldn't believe I didn't pass. I had a A- average from grad. school! The past two days have been moping around and feeling depressed. Trying to be upbeat, but feel defeated and humiliated. I told so many people I was taking the exam!!!!
- 0Sep 8, '11 by madeinheavenThank you for the encouragement. I applied to take the Adult Psych NP last week since our program you could take either the Psych CNS or NP or Both, so hopefully I will be able to take it again in 6 weeks. Otherwise they won't let me take the CNS again for 60 days! I feel I have to get right back and take it as my RN job is not in Psych. and I don't want to forget everything from school and all my clinicals. I will try to study differently. I mostly kept taking the mulitple choice questions over and over, I never looked at the blue print to see how the test was made up. I took the free 25 questions for the Adult Psych NP and 2 of the questions were on my CNS exam! Figures there were no questions similar to the ones from the CNS practice quesitons. I think even ANCC can't figure out Psych NP/Pysch CNS. I have heard that they may do away with the Psych CNS title over time (and just go with Psych NP) so all my other classmates took the Psych NP exam and passed! I had been in an Acute Care/Criticial Care CNS program prior so I was partial to the CNS name, but never had taken the boards for that master's program.
Good Luck to you, I think you should get right back in and take it. I think you were in Pedi Pysh if I recall, and I know there is a real need for Pedi Psych NP right now. I am praying that both of us will pass the second time around!!!!
- 0Sep 10, '11 by madeinheavenjust an update, I got the name of Barkley and Associates and they have a multitude of review audio cd's/books and live conferences to attend. They had a Psych. Mental Health NP book and 9 CD's with 12 hours, the conference was this weekend in Chicago, but I was unable to attend. I have listened to 2 cd's so far and the information is great. It's a bit pricey, but I need to pass($300)! I am waiting for the ok to take the Psych NP exam hopefully soon and then I will try to retake the Psych CNS exam, but I can't take that for 60 days. Thanks to this site for the Barkley name. Also, Fitzgerald Associates has a free teleconference (webinar) this Thursday 9/15 from 8-9pm on how to prepare for the NP exam, although the focus I believe is on the FNP, but I figured it may be helpful and it's free.
- 0Sep 15, '11 by FluffyNipperI feel bad for you. My heart goes out to you. . . . After such a long preparation to fail an examination is a crushing defeat.
I am dismayed at what I face. Here is my story: I am 66, retired, and contemplating a return to work as a PsychCNS after a long period of employment in a state that did not previously require the CNS exam.
I got my MSN in psych in 1988 (Pittsburgh) and worked in a variety of MSN-CNS jobs including Nurse Manager (6 years), clinician (12 years, some of them while in school), and a variety of CD positions. I want to relocate to another state that requires the CNS certificate (Texas did not require it when I registered here in 1995.)
I am taking ANCC's online preparation course for PsychNP since it seems to be about the same as psych CNS. The course seems helpful. I also gave a first try at their online set of test questions (150 of them, I think $99; you can take these tests as many times as you want to for a period of 3 months.)
I was dumbfounded when I scored about 63% on each of the two 75 item tests.
A lot of the questions made no sense to me or they referred to theories or factual issues that I have never heard of in spite of my having read extensively since I got my MSN (plus I took 15 more post-MSN credits at a local university (Incarnate word)).
I found a lot of the questions vague and poorly written. Sometimes several answers seemed correct or no answer appeared correct. (I have written professionally but not in nursing.) A lot of the answers could well be a matter of opinion. The stem of the questions often lacked essential facts for making a good decision. A lot of them I found to be tricky and I wonder if they were designed to trap you into giving the wrong answer.
I have two bachelor's degrees, one in liberal arts and one in nursing, and none of my tests in the liberal arts even approached the vagueness or elusiveness of the ANCC test that I just took a stab at.
I am fortunate that I can "take it or leave it" as it is not necessary for me to return to work as a CNS (and I could always stay here in Texas or go to one of the other states that don't require the ANCC exam to practice as a CNS.)
I wish you the best of luck in your future preparations for another possible exam. The ANCC practice exams and review course(s) are probably good preparation for the real test. They at least should give you and idea of what to study. Good luck!
Quote from Rose23Hello all.
I completed my MSN program in december, and sat for the Adult CNS exam yesterday... and i FAILED! such an embarrassment, humiliation, failure, I was so sure of myself and this test... everyone I talked to said not to worry, no need to really study. I do not know what went wrong, some of the questions were so vague, I could not even eliminate to the top 2 choices.... I did not do the online review course, regretting it now, all I did was read through a book I bought online and some material from my MSN program... I scored low in research, which boggles my mind since i was a research assistant and published in a few journals!!
so now i am having no luck contacting the ANCC regarding the new test blueprint. not to sure which test I have to take now!
anyone else in this desperate situation??? the test blueprint changes on April 5, 2011.... oh gosh, tears are starting again
so disappointed and lost right now
- 0Sep 19, '11 by FluffyNipperQuote from madeinheavenI'm going to check out the Barclay & Assoc. group that you cited in one of your earlier posts, too. Looks like my reviewing and studying might be interrupted to have an artificial cardiac pacemaker "installed" (is that the right verb?). I've been bothered by HR's as low as 40, so I guess it is time to have it done. I'm afraid the procedure and the anesthetic will further interfere with my studying and concentration and the cd's that Barclay offers will allow me to study at my own pace. I might be about 75 before I get around to taking and hopefully passing the test!!!!! Once again, good luck 2 u! Bobthanks for the uplifting message. I went away for the Labor Day Weekend and feel a little better now!
- 0Sep 20, '11 by infectI took the adult cns exam in August and got 345. needed 350. what was strange to me was out of the the 4 sections I scored high in direct care and low in the other 3 sections, yes 3. then only failed by 5 points. strange to me. I did the correct study things, read hamric, bastable, did 2 fitzgerald np books for extra questions and answers, flash cards other peoples old study stuff etc. ordered just about all the review info that the ancc had on the web for cns and a few np things - question/answer tests. not all real helpfull. test questions were as i have never really seen. well at least half were. did the teleconference too but that was more of an outline. just didnt do good on the test, felt I a little rushed towards the end. I guess was actually overprepared just missed a few more than I could afford too. I will keep reviewing now and retest. I was told to really look at the test outline on the ancc site as I did before but this time I am going line for line and word for word to look up stuff. any advice ?
