1.1.8 Security, nuclear, disarmament and non-proliferation
The department made a major contribution to the Government's response to the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. This shaped much of our work in support of Australia's international security interests . We set up a task force to deal with immediate consular and foreign policy issues flowing from the attacks. The task force subsequently supported Australia's participation in the war on terrorism, including facilitating the deployment of Australian defence forces overseas and strengthening anti-terrorism measures at national and international levels.
Australia's long-standing and active support for international regimes to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and their possible acquisition by terrorist groups, was given greater prominence and urgency after 11 September 2001. Practical and direct counter-proliferation measures and export controls were accorded greater importance. The Australia Group, which is chaired by the department, stepped up its work to deny both states and terrorists access to chemical and biological weapons. Domestically, the inter-departmental Non-Proliferation Coordination Group, chaired by the department, helped tighten domestic arrangements to curb WMD proliferation.
The terrorist attacks also reinforced the need for strengthened security cooperation within the Asia-Pacific region. We promoted stronger cooperation within the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), including greater efforts by member countries to prevent terrorism. We also used our bilateral security dialogues to strengthen regional responses to terrorism and to support global regimes that constrain WMD and missile proliferation. We maintained a close and regular dialogue with the United States, influencing its strategic engagement in the Asia-Pacific region and encouraging it to continue close consultation with allies and other key countries in the interests of promoting confidence and enhanced strategic stability at the global level.
In arms control and disarmament, the department faced an increasingly challenging environment. Negotiations on a protocol to strengthen the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) collapsed in July 2001 and the deadlock in the Conference on Disarmament continued to block the start of negotiations on a Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty. Nonetheless, we were able to achieve important outcomes in multilateral forums dealing with conventional arms, notably in addressing the illicit trade in small arms and strengthening the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW). We also made progress in promoting support for an international code of conduct against ballistic missile proliferation, focusing outreach efforts on our immediate region.

The 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States and the ensuing war on terrorism demanded a comprehensive response from the department. Immediately following the attacks the Government invoked-for the first time-Australia's mutual security agreement with the United States (the ANZUS treaty) and in October 2001 announced that the ADF would contribute to the anti-terrorist military coalition. We were closely involved in the development of the Government's policy response to the terrorist threat through the early establishment of an Anti-Terrorism Task Force.
On the night of 11 September, the department's Crisis Centre went into 24-hour operation to respond to both consular and foreign policy aspects of the attacks. After a week, with the immediate crisis over, the Crisis Centre was wound down and, from that point, consular issues were managed by the department's Consular Branch, while political and strategic issues were handled by the Anti-Terrorism Task Force (see output 2.1 at page 138 for further detail on our consular response to the terrorist attacks).
The Anti-Terrorism Task Force was chaired by the First Assistant Secretary of the department's International Security Division and was supported by a small secretariat. It comprised members from 11 government agencies and met daily for the first three months following the attacks. Its principal functions were to provide timely, high-quality advice to ministers on the international aspects of Australia's response to the terrorist attacks; to serve as a point of coordination on anti-terrorism issues within the department; to act as the liaison point with other departments and agencies and with foreign governments on anti-terrorism issues; and to respond to public and media interest in the terrorist attacks.
The department's prompt response enabled Australia to respond quickly to the UN Security Council resolutions on terrorism requiring member states to implement a broad range of legal and cooperative anti-terrorism measures (see sub-output 1.1.7 at page 82 for further detail on Australia's involvement in multilateral cooperation against terrorism, particularly through the UN). With our network of overseas posts, we continue to play an important role in the development and implementation of the Government's policy response to the terrorism threat.
Much of the fight against terrorism will involve low-profile and long-term efforts to strengthen intelligence, law enforcement and operational counter-terrorism capabilities around the world. We are working closely with our regional neighbours, given our shared interests in tackling the terrorist threat to the region. We are assisting their law enforcement, intelligence and security agencies and armed forces. We concluded formal arrangements with Indonesia and Malaysia to cooperate in the fight against terrorism and build institutional counter-terrorism capabilities. A similar arrangement has been negotiated with Thailand.
The department is also active in galvanising regional organisations, such as APEC and the ARF, to strengthen counter-terrorism cooperation in operationally useful areas such as border controls, information exchange, aviation and maritime security, critical infrastructure security and anti-terrorist financing (see sub-output 1.1.6 at page 74 for further detail on APEC and counter-terrorism). In addition, we are playing a leading role in United Nations efforts to develop a comprehensive convention against terrorism and in encouraging countries to sign the 12 UN conventions dealing with terrorism.

Defence affairs
The department worked closely with the Department of Defence to facilitate the deployment of Australian defence forces to participate in the war on terrorism. This work included securing access overseas for Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel, negotiating status-of-forces agreements and gaining diplomatic overflight clearances for Australian military aircraft. The commitment of ADF units required a sustained effort to ensure appropriate arrangements were in place to enable deployment. Our posts in Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Moscow, in particular, played a key role in supporting these deployments. An agreement was, for example, concluded with Kyrgyzstan in late 2001 to enable the deployment of Australian air-to-air refuelling aircraft to Manas air base.
The department's network of overseas posts was active in keeping foreign governments informed of Australia's actions in the wake of the 11 September 2001 attacks and in encouraging them to respond resolutely to the threat of international terrorism. We worked particularly closely with the United States, where our embassy in Washington played a major role, and other coalition countries to coordinate our military and other contributions to the war on terrorism.
Information security assumed vital importance after the terrorist attacks. With the United States, we concluded an agreement governing the exchange of classified material and facilitated a further round of talks on critical infrastructure protection. We worked closely with the Department of Defence and other agencies to strengthen and streamline procedures for considering the export of defence and related goods, particularly to countries in our region.

Regional and bilateral security dialogues
Through bilateral security dialogues with key global and regional partners-including the Republic of Korea, India, the United States, Japan, the European Union and NATO-the department built support for important Australian objectives. These objectives include sustaining US strategic engagement in the Asia-Pacific; strengthening regional and global responses to terrorism; ensuring continued international support for East Timor after its independence; enhancing the stability of the Korean Peninsula; and constraining WMD and missile proliferation. Australia secured agreement to resume strategic discussions with China and to hold security dialogues with several other regional countries in the latter half of 2002.
The department supported Mr Downer's participation in the annual ARF ministerial meeting held in July 2001 in Hanoi. After the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks, we advocated successfully that the ARF develop an effective regional response to terrorism. In co-chairing with Thailand an ARF workshop on prevention of terrorism in April 2002, we contributed, in conjunction with other relevant Australian agencies, to greater regional awareness of the counter-terrorism aspects of border control, the security management of major events and aviation security. The department also successfully supported efforts to strengthen dialogue in the ARF among defence officials. We contributed to moves to operationalise the ARF's Register of Experts and Eminent Persons by identifying and nominating Australia's proposed participants. Developing mechanisms such as these to enhance the ARF's preventive diplomacy capacity remains a challenge for Australia and like-minded ARF members. We also encouraged the ARF to address the issue of proliferation of WMD.
Complementing the central role of bilateral security links in maintaining regional security and stability, we used the ARF to foster shared perceptions among regional powers on security issues important to Australia. In the case of the Korean Peninsula, this allowed regional countries to convey to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea their concerns about its WMD activities and missile proliferation.

Export controls and counter-proliferation
Export controls and counter-proliferation measures played an increasingly important role in efforts by concerned countries to stem the spread of WMD.
Under our leadership, the Australia Group , a consultative grouping of 33 countries and the European Commission, focused on practical measures to prevent the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons. Cooperation among Australia Group countries intensified following the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks with plenary meetings in October 2001 and June 2002, as well as an intersessional meeting in February 2002 and an enforcement and implementation experts meeting in April 2002. The June 2002 plenary session adopted new public guidelines, added eight new toxins to the biological control list and agreed to cover intangible technology transfers as part of this stepped-up effort.
We continued to lead and coordinate Australian involvement in the two nuclear-related export control regimes, the Nuclear Suppliers Group and the Zangger Committee. We furthered the Government's commitment to a more responsible international conventional arms trade through our contribution to the work of the Wassenaar Arrangement, the principal international regime regulating transfers of conventional weapons and dual-use goods.
The inter-departmental Non-Proliferation Coordination Group, which is chaired by the department and which oversights domestic measures against proliferation, was activated in response to heightened international concerns about WMD. We worked closely with the Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs (DIMIA) and other agencies to enhance visa screening arrangements. These measures, now implemented, should help minimise the risk of foreign nationals visiting Australia for study or other purposes that could contribute to the proliferation of WMD. The department undertook targeted briefings of relevant industry groups and universities to raise awareness of the WMD proliferation threat and the importance of effective export controls and other counter-measures such as visa screening.

Nuclear issues
The department supported Mr Downer's leadership of efforts to advance the entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in the face of setbacks, including the US decision not to ratify the treaty. We worked to consolidate international support for the CTBT at the Second CTBT Article XIV Conference in November 2001 in New York, which strongly endorsed the security benefits of the treaty. We used our diplomatic network to press over 30 countries, in the lead-up to this conference, to adhere to the CTBT. We also co-sponsored an international seminar on CTBT verification in the margins of the New York conference. The department, working closely with the Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office , continued to press for the early global roll-out of the CTBT's International Monitoring System. Three new International Monitoring System stations were certified, bringing the total to six in Australia. Mr Downer opened the Cape Leeuwin hydroacoustic station in April 2002 in the presence of the Executive Secretary of the CTBT Organization Preparatory Commission.
Heightened concerns about the possibility of nuclear terrorism in the wake of 11 September 2001 underlined the central role of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) in nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament. The review cycle for the 2005 NPT Review Conference began with a business-like first Preparatory Committee in April 2002, at which we made constructive contributions. In preparation for this meeting, we made representations to 32 key NPT member states seeking their support for our priorities at the conference. We encouraged NPT states to conclude or bring into force additional protocols to their respective safeguards agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and urged those states that had not yet done so to enter into comprehensive safeguards agreements with the IAEA as soon as possible.
The 45th session of the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna in September 2001. Pictured are newly elected Chair of the IAEA Board of Governors, Australian Ambassador Max Hughes (centre front), and other staff from the Australian Embassy in Vienna, David Mason, Claudio Tuniz and Chris Cannan (back row from left).
The department continued to provide strong support for the IAEA's lead role in nuclear safeguards, security, safety and technical cooperation. The assumption of the chair of the IAEA Board of Governors by our ambassador in Vienna for 12 months from September 2001 enabled us to assist the IAEA in developing responses to heightened international concerns about possible nuclear or radiological terrorism. The department took the lead in developing Australia's responses to proposals against nuclear terrorism put forward by the IAEA in November 2001, including through an early contribution to the IAEA's new nuclear security fund. Australia also made an increased contribution to the IAEA's technical cooperation program for peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
We continued to facilitate access to overseas markets for Australian uranium producers. Four additional nuclear cooperation agreements were negotiated during the year with Argentina, Czech Republic, Hungary and the United States (the latter to cover uranium sales to Taiwan). These stipulated strict safeguards, verification and physical protection measures for Australian uranium and ensured that Australia's participation in the global nuclear fuel cycle was exclusively for peaceful purposes. The department, including our embassy in Buenos Aires, actively supported the project agreed under contract between the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation and the Argentine firm INVAP to design and build the replacement research reactor at Lucas Heights.

Biological and chemical weapons
Despite the intensive efforts of Australia and other like-minded countries, negotiations to strengthen the BWC broke down in July 2001. This followed decisions by the United States that a sufficiently robust BWC compliance regime was beyond the reach of the protocol negotiations, given the divergent positions of key countries. The Fifth BWC Review Conference was subsequently suspended in December 2001. Despite Australia's continuing commitment to strengthening the BWC through multilaterally agreed compliance measures, medium-term prospects for this seem meagre, with the outlook uncertain for the resumed Review Conference scheduled for November 2002. Australia is also considering alternative suggestions for reinforcing provisions of the BWC, including a number of ideas put forward by the United States and the United Kingdom.
The immediacy of the biological weapon threat was underlined by the anthrax letter attacks in the United States in late September and early October 2001. The department liaised with other agencies, industry and the academic community to improve Australia's bio-terrorist counter-measures. This included convening a meeting of the National Consultative Group on Biological Weapons, a grouping of scientists and biotech companies, as a source of expert opinion about the threat of biological weapons.
The risk of proliferation of chemical weapons and the possession of them by certain states of concern, such as Iraq, continued to be a serious concern of the Government. At the institutional level, the department pressed the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to address urgently its financial and administrative problems. Following the replacement of the OPCW Director-General in April 2002, we worked closely with the incoming management team to help reinvigorate the organisation.
As part of our regional security agenda, we worked within the Asia-Pacific region to reinforce chemical and biological weapons non-proliferation objectives. We sought to persuade non-signatory states to become parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). We helped fund and organise an OPCW regional workshop in June 2002 in Fiji, which was the first such workshop aimed at increasing CWC participation by Pacific island countries.

The department remained at the forefront of Australia's efforts to curb the proliferation of missiles, which can serve as delivery vehicles for WMD. We continued our active role in strengthening international cooperation on missile non-proliferation, both as a member of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) and through various advocacy and outreach activities focused on the Asian region. Specifically, the department promoted support for a draft international code of conduct against ballistic missile proliferation developed initially within the MTCR. The code, which is still being finalised, will contribute to building an international norm against missile proliferation.
| Top |
Conventional weapons
The department led international efforts to highlight the human consequences of armed conflict, with Australia's Ambassador for Disarmament chairing a successful Second Review Conference of the CCW Convention in December 2001 in Geneva. The conference agreed to a widening of the convention's scope to embrace internal conflicts. It also accelerated work to find ways of reducing the deleterious impact of explosive remnants of war and anti-vehicle mines.
The department contributed to international efforts to tackle the problem of the illicit trade in small arms. We played a major role in securing the adoption of an international program of action at an inaugural UN conference on small arms and light weapons in July 2001 in New York. The program included a series of political commitments and practical measures designed to curb the illicit small arms trade. We continued to work with other agencies in supporting efforts by Pacific island countries to deal with this issue. We were unable to secure agreement in the ARF on a small arms declaration.
Consistent with the Government's commitment to a world free of anti-personnel landmines, the department continued to pursue the goal of universal adherence to the Ottawa Convention, which prohibits the use, production, stockpiling and transfer of these weapons. We worked closely with the Australian Network of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines to promote the benefits of accession among those South-East Asian countries not yet parties to the convention.

CHOGM security
The department contributed to the security of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting by providing staff to the CHOGM Security Intelligence Centre and advice on international issues relevant to possible threats to the meeting.

A closer look at cloud-based disaster recovery solutions
A closer look at cloud-based disaster recovery solutions
If you are a member, log in below. If not, please click 'REGISTER'
In the wake of the recent natural disasters that have occurred in Asia, CIOs are scrambling to ensure that their companies are prepared when disaster strikes. Most companies agree that a sudden unexpected outage can wreak major damage in terms of compromised data or lost business, yet many do not have in place adequate disaster recovery (DR) plans, equipment and infrastructure to support a rapid and effective response.
This white paper explores how disaster recovery solutions can now be deployed through the cloud, with the recent emergence of virtualization and cloud technologies. Such solutions cover the whole range of eventualities, from simply duplicating data by sending files to the cloud as a form of backup to creating a private link between a customer's site and their remote dedicated cloud infrastructure including redundant, standby resources for a complete business continuity plan."

LJUBLJANA, May 17– At a time when private capital flows far surpass official aid flows and when building a better investment climate is vitally important to raising prosperity around the world, the Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics (ABCDE) 2007 opened today in Bled, Slovenia.
Slovenia's Prime Minister Janez Jansa said in his opening speech, "Development economics isn't anything unless it delivers results and the World Bank plays an essential role in bringing together nations of the world, helping poor countries with no access to credit. It is my wish that this conference will contribute to new solutions for development that involve the private sector. Our words will be useless unless they are followed by action."
ABCDE 2007 comprises a core program focused on 'Private Sector and Development,' including plenary sessions covering financial-sector inclusiveness, investment climate, and provision of public services by non-state actors (such as in health, education, environment/water). The event, which was held last year in Tokyo, attracted about 400 participants from over 90 countries, representing academia, civil society, the private sector and policy makers.
"Without a strong private sector, Slovenia's transitional period would not have come to an end so quickly...The experience has been a guiding principle of Slovenia's international development cooperation and our donation activities are aimed at developing a private sector that will give the people of developing countries the opportunity to eliminate poverty by their own will and labor," said Andrej Bajuk, Minister of Finance, also speaking at the conference opening.
World Bank Chief Economist and Senior Vice President Francois Bourguignon spoke at the opening about the evolution of development thinking from a period when the private sector was viewed as not adequate to lift up the poor to today, when it is send as centrally important and when all development efforts must be mindful of how to improve the climate for business.
Mr. Bourguignon said: "Let me talk first about the problems the World Bank is currently facing and the fact that because of the current difficulties, World Bank Group President Paul Wolfowitz decided to cancel his visit to Slovenia. These are challenging times for our institution. However, I want to stress that with this important ABCDE agenda of 'Private Sector in Development' topic, we are showing our intention to stay firm in our commitment to development work. The Bank Group will engage without pause with the rest of the development community and with the world at large in our mission of poverty reduction and development."

One of the complaints here about the Peeling Powder is that it's expensive. I think it's reasonably priced because you need to use just a tiny amount. I put maybe one third of a teaspoon in my palm and, with a couple of drops of water, have enough for my whole face. I love this product -- it really improved the texture of my skin almost immediately. And it's fun to use. The thing about many of Kanebo's products is that they are highly concentrated so a little goes a long way. They're also like stealth fighters -- they're very quiet and they don't feel like you're even putting anything on your face, but the next day, you see results.

Who was it, PT Barnum who said there is a sucker born every minute? What was I thinking when this slick Saks SA talked me into buying an exfoliant that you put on and rinse off in the shower? For $50, no less??! I mean, the stuff isn't on your skin long enough to do anything. It is *not* a scrub. It's a powder that you wet, apply to your face in the shower and rinse it off. Don't worry, it will come off, b/c the shower is beating on your body as you are applying it. In fact, the stuff you put on the top of your face is gone by the time you get to the bottom. So....I started using it outside of the shower. I put some powder in my palm, wet it to a paste, and put it on my face until it dries. Then I wash it off. And my face feels and looks absolutely no different after I put it on than before. I'm glad so many other buyers are having good luck with this product. I certainly am not. And if I ever go to Chicago again and get a chance to go to Saks, I'm going to try to get my $$ back.
maybe it is just me ... I totally hate this scrub!!!!
it breaks my skin up whenever I use it, be it twice a week or once a month. my face will be covered with bumps for the next two days after I use it!!
I've been using this product for years, and I like it. My skin does not tolerate exfoliating products well and it is one of the few products I can use. It does a very good job in eliminating flakes. My skin feels softer, too. Although it feels gentle, I think it is quite potent: if I use too frequently, my skin feels drier. Overall I think it's a decent exfoliating product for sensitive skin. I deducted one lippie because of the outrageous price.
Thanks top all who wrote reviews on this. I splurged for this at Duty free, and love it. It comes in a despense rthat gives you just a little, which is all you need. It lathers up and leaves my face feeling so smooth and fresh. Make up goes on so well after this. I have also tried using it as a mask, and my face just loves it. You do need to make sure you latehr the grains quickly, other wise they seem to turn into a gooey mess. I've been using this for a few weeks now, and have had no problems with breakouts. If you are looking a for a spluge, go for it. I am hoping it will help my dark spots, but it is too soon to tell, I'll update my review in a couple of months. I think it will last a long time, and I'll rebuy it when it's gone.
Update: Just saw another review of this, and was reminded that I never updated. I still love this product, a little goes a long way. I recently tried a wanna be of this from Annemarie Borland. It was about two thirds the price of this, and just wasn´t nearly as good. The cheaper version seemed to cleanse ok, but certainly isn´t an exfoliant. It also seems to really dry my face out, which was never an issue with Kanebo. I´m going back to this as soon as I have a little splurge money. This is also great to take on vacation or a weekend away, as I use it as a facial cleanser and don´t need to pack something that might make a mess of my suitcase.
This product is quite fabulous. I love the concept behind the powder! Kanebo's Silk Peeling Powder is not so much an abrasive exfoliator than a skin polisher. It contains enzymes that break down dead skin, and leaves a silky smooth finish. This product is not for deep cleaning, so you will probably need another cleanser in conjunction with this. Whenever I use this, all my makeup goes on smoothly. Definitely a luxurious product! HG!
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use this as a cleanser morning and night. It's not too harsh and a leetle powder foams up luxuriously. It cleans very well and since I've started using it, I've not had major breakouts. I use this after my Fancl Mild Cleansing Oil and the two works perfectly in tandem to keep my face clean and clear. Not sure about its exfoliating qualities though. I use a separate scrub (Lancome Exfoliance Clarte) for exfoliation.
I bought this after so many positive reviews here at MUA.
I find this product, gentle on sensitive skin and does not scratch like other scrubs/exfoliants, but i find this doesn't do much to my skin.
It remains smooth for only 1 day and i'm back where i started. The bottle is pretty nifty though.
This works really well to clean my face and make it smooth. However, I don't think it really exfoliates. I will be trying the Amore Pacific Treatment Enzyme Peel next.. I think that might do a better job at exfoliating. However, I will always have the Kanebo one around just to use occassionally for a good cleaning.
I like this product and this range, having tried a number of brands over the years this is the home use brand I have found to be the most efficient and beneficial to my skin. This product in particular is very good, and I have no idea how it works as an exfollient as it mixes to a fluffy foam in the palm of my hand with a few drops of water and a facial brush (the best way of using it I think), and it really cleans out my pores. I have been suffering for the last couple of years with a continuous bout of whiteheads and blackheads across my cheeks and this product has done away with them. Well recommended even though it may be a bit pricey you really need to use only a very little of the product, maybe a 1/4 of a teaspoon.

Aquatic Garden
Located beside the Jodrell Laboratory in the northeast corner of the Gardens, the present Aquatic Garden was installed in 1909.
Historical information
The Aquatic Garden replaced an earlier, more primitive, tank built in 1873. It comprises a large elongated pool, some 19 by 9 metres, along with four corner and two side tanks. The central pool was originally heated to give waterlilies a head start, but today plants grow at the ambient outside water temperature. In 1935, the central tank was repaired, re-faced and raised to provide greater depth for the water lilies.
Aquatic Garden plants
The main pool houses 40 varieties of hardy water lily, including Nymphaea 'Masaniello', which has pink flowers, N. odorata, which has apple-scented flowers and N. 'Colonel A. J. Welch', which forms new plants from its spent flowers.
The corner tanks display marginal aquatics such as sedges and rushes including the flowering rush (Butomus umbellatus) and bog bean (Menyanthes trifoliata). The narrow side tanks exhibit floating aquatics.
You can see tropical water lilies growing in the Waterlily House and Princess of Wales Conservatory.
Things to look out for
Several eucalyptus trees grow around the Aquatic Garden. These include a particularly impressive mountain gum (Eucalyptus dalrympleana), which has a distinctive white trunk and branches. Newts, waterboatmen and dragonflies live in and around the Aquatic Garden too.

Entertainment For Your Ears: How To Dress Well
Posted on 15 January 2013 by Ben ShermanThere's a lot of hype surrounding the new Justin Timberlake release at the moment, largely because his elevated yet pitch perfect voice is something we rarely experience as music fans – whether we subscribe to his pop music or not. We proclaim Tom Krell has all the vocal talent of JT with some added cool factor. Plus he's playing 'Upfront Presents' in Malaysia, an event we proudly co-sponsor.

Most of the time spent on screen in Orange Is the New Black is in uniform, in orange (or khaki) as the title suggests. Inmates look alike. Guards look alike. There's little variety. Why, then, would the show need a costume designer?
It's a question that Jennifer Rogien, costume designer of the Netflix hit, often faces. She sees merit in the query, telling Entertainment Weekly how seemingly ridiculous her position could be construed on a very simplistic level. But, within this community of orange, Rogien says, "There is a whole world of tiny details to worry about." READ FULL STORY

- Bio
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (which now I have come to believe is just 'DISEASE' in general) several years ago. I just recently found out I could take my health and healing into my own hands. Since I just started my journey, I have much to learn and am soaking up as much info and as many ideas as I possibly can. I have already seen fantastic changes in my appearance: hair is more manageable, gray is going away, have lost 16 pounds, and my skin (especially my face) looks so much younger. I'm hooked and I wish everyone could know what I know and am continuing to learn. :)

The minimum number of gauges on a passenger car dashboard are the speedometer and the fuel gauge. The most common additional gauge is the temperature gauge followed by the tachometer, voltmeter and oil pressure gauge. If your car does not have a temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge or charging system gauge, then you will have a warning light for these functions.
The most common configuration in today's CarParts.com is: Speedometer, Tachometer, Fuel & Temperature.
Note: To find out more about the gaugeson your car, the best source of information is your owner's manual.

The pattern itself would be great for a beginner, but the addition of the Chevron stripes (with all that matching!) is probably more intermediate.

6th District Democrat Fjeld waits in runoff wings
As the two Republicans running in the 6th Congressional District criticize each other in the political limelight heading into Tuesday's runoff, Democratic nominee Laura Fjeld has spread her message and raised money off stage from the theatrics.
Fjeld, a former vice president with the University of North Carolina system who lives in Orange County, said she doesn't have a preference as to whom she'd rather face between Republican hopefuls Mark Walker and Phil Berger Jr. But Fjeld told The High Point Enterprise during a recent interview that she believes the acerbic runoff campaign between the two Republicans will help her chances in the Nov. 4 general election.
Walker and Berger have traded pointed accusations and questioned each other's personal integrity since the May 6 primary.
"So many people I meet are fed up with the dysfunction in Washington," she said. "When you engage people, they immediately say we've gotten too focused on extreme rhetoric. And we've got to get away from it. We need people who understand the need for bipartisanship, the need to reach across the aisle — that's effective."
Fjeld, who's making her first bid for elected office, is running in a 10-county district that includes parts of the city of High Point.
The 6th Congressional District has an equivalent number of registered Democratic and Republican voters, though political analysts say the district leans conservative in its orientation. For example, two years ago the district went 55 percent for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney compared to 45 percent for Democratic President Barack Obama, according to figures through the John Davis Political Report based out of Raleigh.
Fjeld also is running in a national political landscape in which the president is posting meager approval ratings, averaging in the lower 40 percent range. But Fjeld said the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives is posting even worse approval numbers in the low teens.
"Washington is polling badly — let's face it," said Fjeld, who earlier this month pledged to serve no more than 12 years if elected to Congress. "My focus is on presenting an alternative to the politics as usual."
Fjeld deflected a question from the Enterprise about whether she would campaign with Obama if the president were to visit North Carolina before the general election.
"I really haven't considered who I might campaign with. I have been running, since last August, really my own race," Fjeld said. "I want to deliver my message, not anyone else's message."
Fjeld is remaining more than competitive from a fundraising standpoint. Through June 30, she raised approximately $584,000, according to her campaign.
The winner of the general election will succeed longtime Rep. Howard Coble, R-6th, who is retiring at the end of this year at the age of 83 for health reasons.

Meet Laura Fjeld
Personal: Native of Pennsylvania who has lived in North Carolina for more than 30 years; now resides in northern Orange County with her husband Jon Fjeld, who serves as the director of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University. The couple has five children.
Professional: Served as vice president and general counsel for the 17-campus University of North Carolina system before leaving the post to run for the 6th Congressional District. Previously worked as attorney for North Carolina law firms.
Civic: Has volunteered with N.C. Legal Assistance Program, Special Olympics North Carolina, Global Fund for Children and the N.C. Center for International Understanding through UNC.
Fundraising so far
Here's what the three candidates for the 6th Congressional District have raised:
Democrat Laura Fjeld - $584,000, more than $120,000 cash on hand

Republican Phil Berger Jr. - $461,756, $27,833 cash on hand
