Seamless Object-Oriented Software Architecture
Authors: Kim Wald and Jean-Marc Nerson
Publisher: Prentice Hall
Reviewer: Dan Wilder
If you have some experience with object-oriented programming, and you are looking for a compatible design method, read this book. The authors describe a method (they avoid the term "methodology," and in Chapter 6 tell us why) based entirely on object-oriented concepts. In use since 1990, Business Object Notation (BON) avoids starting with the familiar data flow, entity-relationship, or state transition diagrams. System use scenarios, prominent in other methods, are found here, but not in a fundamental role. What you will find are classes, featuring inheritance and client relations; clusters, flexible groupings of classes; and objects, that is, the run-time instances of classes. Original and quite sensible graphical and textual notations are described, suitable for garage floor, white board, or CASE tool. The book spends roughly equal time on notation, process, and case studies. Several appendices present condensed information. A nice glossary and a fine bibliography provide the icing on this cake.
Seamless Object-Oriented Software Architecture is the first widely available full-length discussion of BON. For a fresh look at issues of object-oriented software development, the book is worth reading even if you're happy with another method. If not, consider this one. The book is readable; it doesn't get bogged down in minutiae, but it covers a lot of material. Be warned: these authors hit the ground running. If you are not already familiar with object-oriented concepts, start with a more introductory book.
Among BON's key ideas are two I will discuss briefly. First, reduce the conceptual gap between design and implementation. Second, provide means to selectively abstract from the welter of low-level details. The two ideas synthesize well. The resulting model is of a single piece, even while a view of it may range over many different abstraction levels. Hence the use of "seamless". Take a detailed look at a small piece of the model, in a context of the most abstract view of the rest, and it fits into place perfectly.
The conceptual gap between design and implementation is reduced by eliminating difficult, clumsy, or irreversible transformations from the picture. Data flow diagrams, state transition models, entity-relationship diagrams, and so on, while considered useful for specialized problems, are here dismissed as foundations for a general-purpose method. Rather, the effort is to explore the application of class, object, inheritance, polymorphism, and the software contract, to the higher-level representation of systems.
Abstraction is facilitated by the easy transition between levels of detail in the BON models, and also by the rich semantic content lent to the class interface description by the software contract. This contract is a part of the class interface, spelling out the class requirements and obligations, independent of the program code, which often won't exist when the interface is first described. This use of contract provides real substance in the design, in a way that bubbles and arrows just can't do. It does so in a way that is understandable in a context of the more abstract bubbles and arrows. Zoom out for perspective. Zoom in for detail. And the detail always makes sense in the context of the larger picture. Or else it doesn't, and this tells you either the detail or the picture must be changed! Better to find this out early, before the system is nearly implemented, and changes become much more expensive. A good design method should help you find this sort of thing.
The focus is always on the design of coherent, well thought out classes which embody what you know about some concept or idea. These furnish the basis for software re-use. In the short term, within the scope of their originating project, they are fastened together perhaps more than once, as the definition of the project changes, using relatively transient "glue" classes that give a particular system its shape and particulars. Thus re-use begins at home, and the system is not hedged in by premature rigid definition of what is in many cases the most volatile aspect of a system: its external interface.
The notion of coherent re-usable classes bears some kinship to the traditional Unix "small sharp tools" philosophy, where programs that do one thing well may be combined in unanticipated ways to perform work not contemplated when the tools were written. However, the flexibility of the object-oriented framework is much greater. The key in is having well-focused tools: in the Unix case, binaries like ls and find; for object-oriented programming, classes like LINEAR_ITERATOR or BINARY_TREE. Or perhaps PATIENT_ACCOUNT or STEPPER_MOTOR.
The invention of such classes and their combination with pre-existing classes to form a working system is an incremental process requiring many trips back and forth from high level design through implementation. As in many other methods, you start at a high level, produce a rough cut at a design, then immediately begin implementation. Selected subsystems are targeted, usually not the easiest ones. This provides a reality check on the design. Then, back to the high level to revise by what you have learned, return to implementation, and so on. Implementation throws the cold clear light of day on design, design guides implementation.
From time to time you make a side trip into system use scenarios. These do not direct the organization of the system, but rather test the evolving design. The typical situation: here is something it would be reasonable to do; does this set of classes support the reasonable behavior? Sometimes it doesn't, so you go back and figure out what additional useful ideas might be wrapped in classes. The use scenarios are accompanied by object scenarios, showing the interplay of objects to accomplish the use scenario. A novel graphical notation is used, which allows easy depiction of interactions between many more objects than the conventional ladder or lattice-like interaction diagrams often used elsewhere.
The middle of the book, chapters 6 through 8, discusses the process of system development under BON. Some readers may want to begin reading here, as this part of the book talks a lot more about the "how" and "why" of the method. Nine standard tasks are completed, not necessarily in order, each by some mix of nine standard activities. The tasks, the subject of chapter 7, are:
Delineate system borderline
List candidate classes
Select classes and group into clusters
Further define classes
Sketch system behaviors
Define public features
Refine system
Complete and review system
The activities, the subject of chapter 8, are:
Finding classes
Defining class features
Selecting and describing object scenarios
Working out contracting conditions
Assessing reuse
Indexing and documenting
Evolving the system architecture
Each task and activity is discussed at some length. These authors don't just dump a notation on you and leave you adrift; some care has gone into describing just how you might proceed. While emphasizing over and again that satisfactory performance is not subject to pat answers, but rather requires talent, experience, and insight, Waldán and Nerson nonetheless manage to provide what sounds to me like good advice about each of the tasks and activities. In a literature where solutions that are too simple abound ("Model the physical objects," "Don't use multiple inheritance," "Encapsulate interface, data, and process in separate classes") the thoughtful advice in these chapters is welcome.
I'll be bringing you further report in a few months. With the help of the Linux port of EiffelCase, the BON tool from Interactive Software Engineering of Santa Barbara, California, I will attempt a small freeware project using the advice in this book. My success or failure, and the delights or frustrations encountered, will furnish the topic of my next article.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Power Bracelets
To get the braclets you need to be a minish. When you beat the third dungeon and get the ocriana of wind go to hyrule town and do a few errands. you need to go to the library and find those books. the first one is in those houses beside the chicken house the left one; then go to the far left of town and go into that house that the guy kept saying leave im busy. go in there with a bottle of water and put the fire out. then get out. go to the wind mill and inside you can go tiny.leave to the back entrance and go up by the door of that house. go in the fire pit and go across the bridge. then go to the front of the other house on the right. go in the entrance at the back and turn right then down the house. Follow the path and when you get to curb go between the bricks and the cats are in there so be careful. they will attack you. go down the vine and go around the fountain. kill those slugs and go right. Know attack those spaz attack bugs and use your cane of pacci on the hole and go up. Attack the creatures in there and a treasure box is there open it and the Power braclets are there. go back to the house you through water at and push those dressers in line. Go in the entrance and up top you see the book flopping with a girl on it. put wieght on it and take it back to the library.
Light Arrows
After Deepwood Shrine, fuse kinstones with the stranger living in the yellow house on the west side of town and a portal will appear next your house. Go in and you will be at the tower of winds. Most of the areas will be blocked off, but find the room with a man in bed with a ghost flying over him. Suck up the ghost with the gust jar and the man will gradually get better. When you come back part of the real story in cloud tops, he will remember you and give you the light arrows. These cool arrows can be charged up for more damage and able to break pots.
Remote Bombs
Fuse kinstone with the Minish Elder after the Temple of Droplets and Beleri (the minish that gave you the bombs in the first place) will come up with an idea for a new bomb, the remote bomb. Go to him to get the remote bombs. You can come to him any time to switch back (but why would you?). These awesome bombs can be set with either A or B and set off with the corresponding button. They come in a gray color, while supplies last, for a limited time only.
Mirror Shield
Fuse kinstones with all the mysterious walls and the farmer in Lon Lon Ranch to summon all the gorons to the cave. Then after you grab the bottle at the end, fuse kinstones with the goron at the the far right to make a giant goron appear at the top of Veil Falls. Go to him and he will tell you he will reward you if you accomplish some major feat. That major feat is beating the game twice. If you do he will ask to eat your shield. Come back about an hour later and he will give you the mirror shield. This special shield will deflect almost anything and is much bigger.
Boomerang and Magic Boomerang
When you first get to go to the store at Hyrule town, the owner will have a wallet for sale for 80 rupees (that will let you carry 200 rupees). Buy this and the shop will have to put something there so he puts a boomerang there for 300 rupees. Buy it. You can also you can get the magic boomerang by fusing kinstones with all the tingle bros to make 4 ladders appear in North Hyrule field. Go down each one to get some rupees and kinstones and to activate 4 switches. Then go down the newly opened ladder to open the big chest (and no, not your granny's chest) and get the magic boomerang. This one can be controlled in midflight.
Quiver Upgrades
The three quivers let you carry 50, 70, and 99 arrows. The first one you can buy from the store for 600 rupees. The next one is from the great fairy in Royal Valley if you answer her question truthfully (niether). the next one you must fuse kinstones with a minish in wind ruins(i think its in a hole somewhere) to cause a beanstalk to grow. Climb the thingy to aquire the last quiver.
Golden Monsters
Golden monsters usually appear after certain kinstone fusions. They are much stronger and can take a lot more hits than their unshiny brethren, but they leave a HUGE cash reward.
swordsmen skills
Throughout Hyrule you will find great swordsmen that will teach you their skills. Here they are: 1. swiftblade: spin attack. The first time you visit swift blade in hyrule town he will teach you the spin attack. It takes a while to charge up but is good for taking out multiple enemies around you. 2. Swiftblade: rock smash. He will teach you this move after you get the white sword. All you have to do is break pots and certain rocks. 3. Grayblade: roll attack. You come to mount crenel after you can multiply yourself and gray blade will teach you the roll attack. you must execute this attack after you roll. Takes percice timing like right when you start to get up. 4. Swiftblade: dash attack. Visit him after you get the Pegasus boots. Then when you dash, you hold your sword out and kill anyone in your way. 5. Waveblade: peril beam. You must swim to his tree he lives in from the mayors cabin. He teaches you the peril beam which adds a long range blast when you only have one heart left. 6. Grimblade: sword beam. He lives in the hyrule castle garden and his tecnique is identical to the peril beam but this one works when the heart gauge is full. 7. Swift blade: down thrust. Come back after you have the roc's cape and he will teach you the down thrust which will let you use a powerful attack after you jump. 8. Swiftblade the first: great spin attack. All you have to do is push a shrine out of the way in castor wilds but he wont teach you the great spin attack until you have all the other skills.

Long Run will head straight for the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup after trainer Nicky Henderson decided against a prep at Newbury this weekend.
The Seven Barrows handler had pencilled in Saturday's Betfair Denman Chase as a next port of call for his King George VI Chase winner following his Kempton success on Boxing Day.
However, Henderson has decided to sidestep the Grade Two heat, which Long Run won last year, as he is not keen to run his staying star on testing ground.
Long Run will now go to Cheltenham without another run as he looks to regain the title he won in 2011.
"Long Run is not running (at Newbury). We just decided with it being soft to heavy and everything, we are not desperate to go," said Henderson.
"We are under no pressure so we will go our own way."
Long Run is a general 8-1 chance for the Cheltenham feature on March 15.

Larry Kozlove, Champion bridge player
Later this year, Larry Kozlove will compete in the World Bridge Tournament in Veldhoven, Netherlands. A member of one of two teams chosen to represent the United States in Veldhoven after competing in the U.S. Senior team trial in Detroit, Kozlove is certainly a talented card player. However, until recently, he hadn't played bridge competitively in more than 20 years.
Kozlove sat down with me to explain how he regained his passion for the game, why he doesn't play here, in Louisville, and how he plans to compete in Veldhoven this October.
How does it feel to be ranked as one the top bridge players in the world?
Well, let me tell you, there are a lot of very, very good players, and the competition we had (in Detroit) was against very good players. I was, needless to say, very excited – after having been out for so many years – to know that I was still able to compete at that level.
When did you start playing bridge?
In college. I played at a very high level and won a North American championship in 1978, and it became a game that, if I didn't play at a high level, I lost interest.
I didn't have as much temperament to play professionally, nor did I want to travel to a big extent. So I really haven't played competitive bridge for about 25 years. I hadn't played since probably the early to mid '80s. I played some, but not at a high, competitive level.
When did you start competing again?
Really this year, in January. My wife and I had rented a house in Boca Raton, Fla., for a couple of months this winter. There happened to be a game with a lot of the people I'd known throughout the years – who either lived near Boca Raton or were snowbirds. A very competitive game was held once a week on Wednesdays. I was invited to play in this game and one of the people said, "Larry, I've got a team for the U.S. Senior team trials coming up in June. We're playing in Detroit. Would you be interested in being my partner?"
I started playing again, and I could tell I'd been a little bit rusty. It's kind of like riding a bicycle, but I still had a very strong, competitive drive.
We went to Detroit and played in the team trials. It's open to anyone 59 or over. There were two teams selected that won the rights of the competition to represent the U.S., and we were one of those teams.
Do you follow a particular strategy? Can you disclose your secret to the game?
I don't think there are secrets. I think every partnership has a lot of systems and conventions that they play, but as a partnership, you're not entitled to know any more about your partnership – understandings and agreements – than your opponents are allowed to know. That way they have the ability to know how to compete against our systems and the same for us. In fact, we have to submit convention cards for approval so that all the teams know our system and vice versa.
Where, and with whom, do you play here, in Louisville?
I do not play. My wife, Ellen, is a very, very good player. But we do not play. (Laughing) It's probably not good for husbands and wives to play together.
You'll compete in the World Bridge Tournament in Veldhoven, Netherlands, later this year. How are you and your team preparing?
We don't practice. We need to. We discuss things on the phone, but we don't practice. We're going to two tournaments coming up, so that'll be practice.
We are required to be in the country at least two days prior to the beginning of the opening ceremonies so that we can adjust to the time difference, so we'll be mentally and physically prepared.
What do you do when you're not playing?
I worked for what used to be Citizens Fidelity Bank, now PNC Bank, for 22 years. Then I headed up a private banking department with Bank of Louisville, which became BB&T. Then I was hired by Republic Bank, and I worked there for the last six years of my career. I retired three-and-a-half years ago.
If you want to know what I've been doing since then, I play competitive poker.

18th C. Spanish Girandole Earrings
Although developed around the middle of the 17th century, the traditional girandole type of earring with its three-part design of surmount, bow form and suspended three drops continued to evolve during the next century.
Here we have an example circa 1780 which demonstrates that classic chandelier configuration in the "flatter" manner so characteristic of the jewelry from Spain and Portugal. Paste set pieces were becoming more prevalent at this time, yet the Spanish had preceded this trend with its history of insetting rose cut glass forms or faceted glass of an almost mirror-like flat shape. This pair of earrings is crafted from gilt metal with embossed surfaces with glass pieces in the typical closed back settings. Front to back ear wires finish the 18th century ear pendants.
Measurements: 2 inches in length (5 cm) including ear wire and 1-13/16 inches (4.7 cm) without wire by 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the widest. Weight of 12.1 grams (7.8 dwt) for the pair.
Condition: Very good; a chip to edges of two pieces of glass; in general glass has a bit of surface wear to edges; on reverse some scratching to gilt surface – see photographs.
Date & Origin: Circa 1780 and is most likely Spanish in origin.

I learned about silence when I began attending a Quaker meeting twenty years ago. Though my time with the "Friends" lasted only a few years I have fostered attentive silence in my spiritual practice ever since. I tried Eastern meditation several times over the years, but it never quite took. It was as not, as William James said, a "living option" for me. Silence can be used with a directed spiritual focus, or a more open ended approach. It is amazing what just five minutes of silence once a day can do for me. I try to get a half hour of continous silence once a week. silence, it's underrated.
~ Best, David

Anti Sweat Headband
Frequently Asked Questions
How would you begin covering up a murder?
Keep in mind that you could go to prison if and when caught. 'O_O"
Hahaha! I shouldn't have been drinking water while reading this. I spit out water all over my screen. It actually went up my nose!! <:D
You guys... Haha!
Honestly? The key is to do most of that work _before_ you do the deed. Meaning: invest in the rubber gloves (no fingerprints), shoes you plan on shredding and throwing away after the fact (footprints), a disposable mask to cover your mouth and nose (no DNA from there), a hat or cap for your head (no DNA from hair, and it can cover part of your face without being obvious).
It goes without saying you can get away with wearing more of this stuff in the dead of winter, or during really atrocious weather. Keep in mind you will also need a headband under it all, and/or strong anti-perspirant deodorant on in strange places so your sweat also doesn't leave any DNA.
Once you have that worked out....figure out where your victim shall die. Basically you want to do this somewhere where there is minimal to no risk of being caught on a security camera. It also helps if there aren't a lot of human witnesses--and any place that is on a cell-phone coverage map should be considered risky just because anyone within a quarter-mile radius could sneak a snapshot or video of your deed and uploade it to YouTube. Anyone in a car, in a window overhead, dumpster diving, whatever.
Basically then, once you find the right place, then it becomes a little easier to lure your victim to the right place. Your best bet is to do this at night when possible.
Guns are too easily traced. Every purchase _can_ be tracked, and every bullet can be traced back to the gun that fired it. Honestly, your safest bet--the one that leaves the least forensics--is to make sure you have the time to drop someone with a cattle prod (no needles or wires like a taser has), knock them unconscious, break their neck, then spend the next ten minutes choking them all the way out. It's time-consuming, but with the proper wardrobe (long sleeves, gloves, and other items mentioned above) if you have the time, you won't leave your own DNA or prints there.
And there won't be a traceable weapon mark on the body for anyone to work from.
*lol* Like you heard this from me, but ok. ^_~
How do you keep sweat out of your eyes?? ?
So, while playing hockey [I'm the goalie] I sweat a lot. Most of that sweat gets into my eyes. So during the game the sweat becomes irritating when it goes into my eyes. Becomes itchy or makes me lose concentration because I sometimes can't see cause of the sweat. I do use anti-perspirant, but after all I am wearing a helmet for like 2 hours, constantly having to wipe my eyes clean sometimes. What would you do to prevent this? Suggestions? Thanks.
i heard that some put vaseline on their eyebrows to redirect the sweat or sweat head bands
keep black hair straight after sweat?
I'm an avid athlete and I exercise nearly everyday. However, as many of you know, African-American hair is usually not compliant with the moisture. Every time I exercise, the sweat drenches my hair which is especially bad after I get a perm. Is there anything I can to to prevent the sweat from canceling out the effects of the perm?? please help! thanks.
Pull your hair back when u work out and wear a cloth headband. Also put some anti frizz serum in your hair. There's this moisture block stuff that works really good.
My school is HOT (no a/c) how can I keep cool?

Ughh, my straightened hair gets bushy again!?
I straighten my hair for school, and it's all silky and smooth! But during gym I sweat, and my hair gets bushy and wavy again! I tried a ponytail and no ponytail, but it still has the same result. Gym is first period too, so my hair is... blah... for the rest of the day! All frizzy and bushy.
Please help me!
I have gym first period also and before you go to school you should put some hairspray, but not to much then put it into a ponytail and after gym apply a anti- frizz serum. Also maybe try a headband.
How to style a toddlers hair in very hot temperatures?
My 21 month old has a naturally high body temperature, so in the summer heat, the poor girl is just always covered in sweat.
Her hair is fairly short, but it's long enough that it covers her forehead and it's almost to her shoulders in the back.
What is the best way to style a toddlers hair when it's cut like this:
Keeping in mind that she doesn't like to sit still while I mess around with her hair so it needs to be pretty quick and simple.
My niece had a similar cut and where we live it is ALWAYS 30 degrees Celsius, year round, even at night. Her hair seemed alot thinner then your little girls, but my SIL used to use headbands to keep the hair off her forehead and put it in a pony at the back. She used to do the pony while wet the night before, and use those tiny little elastic bands, (after spritzing with anti tangle spray, of course!!) and she found that worked. My niece also hated having her hair messed with, so my SIL found that when she done it after a bath when her LO was getting sleepy, there were less problems - and the next day - well, she didn't know that her hair was in a pony tail!! and use the elastic material head bands, so your daughter will be less likely to pull it off, the ones that are actual bands that don't go all the way around your head fall off even my head!!
How should I do my hair? (pics)?
I'm going to a concert this summer and i want my hair to last the whole day for meet and greet pictures. they also play up beat music so i will probably sweat. I'm going to spend the begining of the day at an amusement park. Please help!
Style 1: http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/9194/009ep8.jpg
- this is natural so it is quick and easy to do
- it is pretty much sweatproof
- i can't brush it after it dries or it gets messed up
- it doesnt look well in a ponytail
Style 2: http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/9194/009ep8.jpg
- it takes about 10 extra min.
- it is easy to brush
- sweat ruins it
- looks ok in a ponytail
Sorry. here is style 2
when you straighten it, you could use some kind of product before and after to lock it and keep it from getting messed up, like matrix sleek and shine or maybe garnier fructis anti frizz serum.. or you can keep the original and not have to do anything to it, maybeyou can do the half up and half down thing? but anyhow liek you said, the first one is easier to do, no worries. whatever you want.. maybe even wear a headband in any ofthe hair doos, to keep it looking stylish
How do I get rid of pimples on my forehead?
I am a 17 year old guy and have TERRIBLE skin all throughout my forehead. I was wondering what I could do to get these small little pimples scattered all throughout my face off!
As of right now, this is my skin care routine:
-wake up wash face with warm water
-apply face with aczone (some sort of anti acne cream)
- in the evening I shower with this soap prescribed by my doctor (I put it on my face and back)
-Before i go to bed i put on Acanya (another cream prescribed by my dermatologist)
-I drink 4 bottles of poland spring water everyday (16oz)
-I exercise every other day
-I stay away from chocolates/junk food.
Nothing seems to work! Please help
To whomever answered thank you so much! I have that hairstyle where you flip your hair up in the front and i tend to use gel and this gluestick sort of thing to keep it up. I'm going to stop using them and buy those pads and the soap you suggested. Whenever i go to the gym and sweat I usually just wipe it off with my hands (probably not the best thing to do) I really hope it helps!
You must have really oily skin. But do you have your hair in your face? I have side bangs and beneath that area I tend to break out the worst. So try to keep your hair out of your face or atleast get them out of your face at night (i know your a guy but if you use a headband or bobby pins at night no one will know lol) During the morning you should continue to wash your face with warm water to open your pores and use some face soap for acne (i like clearasil or face scrubs) and rinse with cool water to close your pores. Throughout the day you can use clearasil pads, when your face feels oily or if youre sweating you can whip these out and just clean your face off a bit. (KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR EYES, it burns so bad... lol) at night you can wash your face like in the morning and use a spot treatment on your pimples. I use oxy, it comes in a little box... these products may dry out your skin so use it when you really need it. This works for me. Good luck:)

1. Ummm, you try wearing it in a side braid or ponytail! Or you can grow it out, and there would be more options. You can also try a bun or use a headband.
2. Haha I'm an expert on hair: Don't use really cheap shampoo/conditioners!!! Buy a quality one. Then, be sure to shampoo only your ROOTS. The ends of your hair don't need shampoo. Next, use conditioner and use it only on the ends and the middle of you hair (exclude the roots). This is because the roots of you hair already has moisture and oil. Try to air-dry, because it's the best for your hair. If you really don't have the time, then use a hair dryer but use the cold air button! Edit: Also, don't forget to deep-condition, it's really helpful. I use aussie's three minute miracle, it's kinda cheap but it works extremely well.
3. I don't wear a lot of makeup, only mascara and sometimes eyeliner. First, use an eyelash curler to curl your lashes. Then, apply mascara. Next, you can apply eyeliner if you want to. Just keep it natural and do a thin line (maybe wing it out?) I suggest pencil eyeliner because it's the easiest, but gel or liquid would work fine as well. Don't put eyeliner on the bottom of your eyes, it makes your eyes look way smaller. You can try putting white eyeliner or eyeshadow on your browbone and inner corner of your eye (near your nose) to brighten your eyes. You can also put white eyeliner on your waterline.
4. I use a tea tree face wash, and then I moisturize. Be sure to cleanse and wash the parts with acne but also the rest of your face. Then, moisturize the acne spots the most, and only moisturize the rest of your face a little. If that makes sense, haha.
5. Get a really good smelling body spray, or use scented lotion. Perfume might be a little grown up, but if you use it, don't use too much.
6. Just wear deodorant and light clothing, there's really no other simple solution.
7. Drink lots and lots of water! Also, try not to eat too much junk food. Keep on doing the moisturizing thing!
8. Hmmm, get sleep and don't put on any anti-aging creams or anything. This is because if you use it now, they won't be as affective if you use when you're like 40.
9. Don't chew on your nails, take care of you cuticles. If your nails are cracked or chipping, get a nail strengthener from the store.
10. It's better to under-accessorize than over-do it. Don't wear like 5 rings, a necklace, 4 bracelets, and dangly earrings. It distracts from your outfit. Try to keep it at 3 pieces of jewelery at the most. Also take Coco Chanel's advice: take off one thing from your outfit when you're done, and it'll look more polished.
Buying a paintball gun?
Ok, I played paintball for the first time today...it owned so bad!!! I loved it but the only that sucked was that my goggles fogged up so much! My gun broke so i didn't have a gun so i borrowed someone elses, we took turns, he had a tippman 98 or sumthin, is that a good gun? also wats a house hold remedy for getting rid of the foggy lenses?
Tippmann 98 Custom is a good marker, especially for woodsball. It is solid, reliable, and highly upgradeable. If you have any issues, Tippmann's customer service is top notch.
As far as goggles fogging up, the best thing is to buy a mask that has thermal (dual pane) lenses. Try to stay away from single lens masks that are thermal coated or thermal treated. If you already have a single lens mask, buy some anti-fog treament/cleaner.
Wearing a headband, bandana, or hat also helps. It will absorb your sweat and as an added bonus, reduce the pain of a head shot and maybe even give you a few bounces.
You can buy a fan for certain brands of masks to help circulate air within the mask. If you wear glasses, installing fan will definitely help. If there is not a fan available for your specific mask, you can make one yourself, using a smaller computer fan, switch, 9v battery, and zip ties. There are "how-to" guides and kits available online for this mod.
OMG MAJOR Black Hair Problems Help!?
8th grade my dad took me to a barbershop and got me a boy's haircut (That was the worst year ever). It was 8th 9th 10th and middle of 11th before i texturized my hair. I like it cuz in the morning before school i can just wet it gel it and pull it back with a headband. With natural hair i had to get up early and unbraid my hair so that is was kinda curly but that only lasts a few hours anyway. By the end of the day I would sweat out the little bit of curl i had.
Well now with my texturizer when i wash and comb my hair it really breaks off A LOT. I want to wear it out (I use a head band to pull back the curls each day) but it is uneven and kinda short.
What do I do what do i buy, so I can have curly hair root to tip (now its kinda poofy underneath) Its breaking off and I want to healthy so that it can grow it hasn't grown more then 3 or 4 inches since 8th grade.
I am also going to the salon before school starts. Can they cut it and straighten it before school starts so can have a cute short hair, even with the texturizer. I'm a bit Super Duper Nerdy and I want a new hair style for the new year.
It's natural to have hair setbacks, but to only have your hair get 3-4 inches longer over several years is more than a mere setback, it indicates that you might be doing something to your hair that keeps it constantly breaking off. You need to find out why you're not retaining length. It's possible it could be the relaxer (relaxers and texturizers are the same thing). It could be the way you're handling your hair. It could be the gel, especially if it has alcohol as an ingredient.
It sounds like your dad got you the boy's hair cut to get rid of any chemically treated hair (relaxers)? Maybe it was badly damaging your hair during that time and that's why he did it?
Also, look into trimming the split ends. Split ends don't make your hair grow slower or faster from the roots, but they can make your hair break off if you fail to trim them after awhile.
Be careful with how you comb and brush your hair. Only detangle when your hair is wet and full of conditioner and use a wide-tooth comb, and follow with a smaller tooth to get rid of smaller knots. If you detangle incorrectly then you can break off your hair.
Did you overlap the relaxer? If you overlap the relaxer then it can cause breakage. It's hard to give you advice without knowing your weekly/daily regimen and what products you use. Do bi-weekly protein treatments and weekly deep conditioning treatments. Protein is anything classified as anti-breakage, protein, reconstructor, hair repair. Aphogee 2-step treatment is a good protein from what I heard.
Flat ironing too much can break off your hair. Plus, "training" your hair means you're making it semi-straight, which means you'll have pieces of straight hair that won't revert along with some curly hair that hasn't yet been "trained," so you'll find it even harder to style with straight pieces of hair. Plus, if your hair is weak then I highly suggest you not flat iron it often if you want to grow your hair longer. Weak hair is more susceptible to breakage.
Bored.. So.. What's in your purse?
Details. Details. Details.
Mine is;
Advil, cough drops, secret wonder land perfume, some random piece of paper, a small flash light for some reason, p.s. I love you miniature body lotion, Japanese cherry blossom miniature body lotion, pretty and pure PINK body lotion, a black strap perfect, a nail file, berry blue typhion singles for water, yellow pre wrap head band, a pink and a purple elastic head band, a white hard headband, pink and white head phones, a few hair ties/bobbie pins and elastics, fun spirit degree girl deodorant, sweat pea handi bac/anti bacterial hand lotion, a purple comb, a small bible, my flash drive, a compact foundation and mirror, another mirror, a cheer leading ticket and a few receipts, a pad, 3 tampons, nose spray, chap ice watermelon Chapstick, a multicolored friendship bracelet, a vanilla hand sanitizer, my wallet, my aviators(sunglasses), navy blue pencil eye liner, pink color rich lip gloss, nude ellusion color rich lip gloss, and nude new york city lip glass. And when I leave the house Carmex, my phone and iPod go in there too.

curl it. buy a curling iron or if that doesn't work use hot rollers. also for a more wavy look, you can braid it before you go to bed and then put some anti-frizz serum in it in the morning. or if your really into straight hair then you can try clipping your bangs back and putting some braids in as a distraction.
and if all else fails, here's a link that might help:
there's other ideas on that website that might work better than that one.
Gym class. Hair. Help? (10 points)?
I'm gonna be a little whiny and say I have a little dilemma.
So, typically I am athletic and I don't mind gym class. But I hate being sweaty after a workout and going to my next class all gross.
1)The back of my neck tends to have sweat on it, where the hair is. I don't know why. I put it in a high ponytail. Any ways to fix that after a workout?
2) How do I get rid of that kink in my hair after I let my hair down when I put it in a high ponytail? Or, what should I do to just prevent that? (but keep the hair out of the way) It tends to do that after a workout, also.
3) My biggest problem is my bangs. I HATE it when my bangs get sweaty. I have side bangs. Headbands usualy just flat out my bangs after breaking a sweat. Should I just use bobby pins to keep it away from my forehead to prevent it getting in my sweat?
4) Last Q; does anti humidity hair spray help any with preventing sweat in the hair? Should I spray it on after I put it in a high ponytail??
Please answer all Q's!!
oh and no. they dont let us use the showers.
Try showering, it works.

E., Rosenfeld, R. M., et al.
Pediatrics, 113(3 Part 1), e238-248.
Indicators of Review Quality:
Description: This is a review of prospective studies investigating whether a history of otitis media with effusion (OME) in young children can lead to speech and language problems.
Question(s) Addressed:
Is a history of otitis media with effusion (OME) in early childhood related to receptive language, expressive language, vocabulary, syntax, or speech development in children one to five years old?
Is hearing loss caused by otitis media in early childhood related to children's receptive language or expressive language through two years of age?
Population: Children with a documented history of OME or associated hearing loss before the age of 5 years.
Intervention/Assessment: Not specified
Number of Studies Included: 14
Years Included: Through October 2002
Speech & Language
General Findings
Meta-analyses revealed no association between OME and receptive language, expressive language, speech development, and receptive vocabulary at 3 years old. Meta-analysis results also showed no association between OME and receptive vocabulary, number of different words, or mean length of utterance during the preschool years.
Meta-analyses showed a significant negative association between: OME and receptive and expressive language during preschool years and hearing loss and receptive and expressive language during infancy. "Our findings suggest that OME and the related hearing loss children experienced during early childhood explain none to a very small amount of the observed variation in children's language skills" (p. 243).

Keeping the life in your battery
November 29, 2013 by Canadianladybug · Leave a Comment
If you are an RV owner and live in the northern part of North America, you know that you need to remove your battery from your RV when you are shutting it down for the winter. If you didn't know – well you know now… Since we had the RV we usually brought the battery home and stored it in our basement. But during the past summer, my husband got some marvelous tips from a support employee for the genius chargers. We had chargers before but we never really got some "education" on how to deal with RV batteries and such during the winter time. So after we purchased a G7200 NOCO charger during the summer (after the previous two chargers failed us in a short period of time), my husband called to ask a question and got great information from the person on the other side of the line. The G7200 is a fully automatic switch-mode battery charger and maintainer. It restores batteries to their original capacity, recovers slightly sulfated batteries, charges batteries in cold climates, rescues... [Read more...]

Thanksgiving: Giving Thanks for Our RV Lifestyle
November 27, 2013 by Rex Vogel · Leave a Comment
Many will be on the road traveling today and throughout this Thanksgiving weekend. Thanksgiving is the biggest travel weekend in America, and RVers are out in force, back on the road, crossing the country in their RVs to spend Thanksgiving with family and friends. And many Snowbirds are traveling south to their favorite Sunbelt roost to avoid the rigors of another northern winter. I have so much to be thankful for! I give thanks to my partner—my wife Dania, my co-pilot—and our family and friends. With a lifelong love of travel, a condo-on-wheels has always been our destiny. Yes, we're living our dream! We've wintered in Southern California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, and Alabama. Our RV travels have taken us to over 40 states and four western provinces. I am thankful as Canadian Snowbirds that we have the opportunity of celebrating Thanksgiving in October (Canadian Thanksgiving) and again in November. Thanksgiving offers the opportunity to reflect on life, liberty, and the pursuit... [Read more...]
On Giving Thanks…
November 27, 2013 by Diane Berry · Leave a Comment
As is typical for me, and I assume most people this time of year, with Thanksgiving right around the corner, I started thinking about all of the things I have to be thankful for. Research has shown that if we regularly become aware of and express our gratitude for all that we have, we tend to be happier and more contented people. Thus this is a good practice to engage in more than just once a year. Also, while my list changes slightly every year, there are some staples that I remain thankful for every time they are in my thoughts. Kate and Meghan, with my grandpuppy Maddie in the background The most obvious of these are my children. Each a wonderful human being in their own right, I am humbled that I have had but a small part of bringing these beautiful people into this world. Kate is extremely bright, but also a warm human being who can make me laugh in an instant. Ryan, also incredibly bright, is our adventurer; always game for a new hike, camping trip or mountain climb.

Put Your Passion on Your Plate

When Hank Williams wrote Jambalaya in 1952, he captured the essence of the Cajun self-proclaimed passion for good food and good friends. Longfellow-Evangeline State Historic Site in St. Martinsville explores the cultural interplay among the diverse peoples along the famed Bayou Teche. © Rex Vogel, all rights reserved The Acadians who settled in the bayous and swamps of Southern Louisiana developed a unique and authentic cooking style. Louisiana has an appetite for food, music, and fun that is best summed up in the Cajun phrase laissez les bons temps rouler—let the good times roll. Based on a survey of 1.3 million people across the country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranked Louisiana as the nation's happiest state. Many reasons likely led to this distinction, but I'm certain that the Bayou State's incredible cuisine played a major role. Bite into boudin and see if a smile doesn't break out.

Petroglyphs of Chaco Canyon
November 24, 2013 by Diane Berry · Leave a Comment
My two previous posts have discussed our August, 2013 visit to Chaco Canyon, a World Heritage Site in northern New Mexico. This post will discuss some of the images these ancient ancestors of modern Pueblo, Navajo and Hope peoples left behind on the walls and rocks of this ancient village in an attempt to communicate with each other. The spiral, a common petroglyph drawing A self guided trail from Pueblo Bonito to Chetro Ketl, two previously discussed Great Houses in the Chaco Canyon settlement, takes visitors past some of the more unique and impressive petroglyphs. Most likely intended as visual communications to symbolize clans, record important events during migrations and act as memory aids for recalling stories and ceremonies, petroglyphs memorialize clan migrations for descendants of the canyon peoples. Rock images can give us great insight into the lives and culture of ancient peoples and tell us about their homes, tools, foods and other tangible possessions. Even though the meanings...

Florida – a destination for numerous snow birds (i.e. Canadians) during the winter time. For us the name represent a dream – bringing our kids for an extended field trip experience in Orlando. But Florida is much more than just Orlando and Theme Parks. It's a state to discover and to experience.

Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) today voted to ensure taxes for every American will not increase beginning January 1. The Tax Relief Act also would implement a payroll tax cut, extend ethanol and biodiesel tax credits, and continue unemployment benefits through December 2011. Today's vote was to invoke cloture, or end debate, on the bill, which required 60 votes. A final vote, expected tomorrow, would require only a simple majority vote.
"I believe this proposal is necessary to prevent the largest tax hike in American history," Johanns said. "The American people are asking Congress to ensure their taxes don't go up in a struggling economy. It is my hope that the Senate builds on this compromise into 2011 to continue charting a positive economic course for our country."
Preserves Current Tax Rates
• Extends for two years all tax rates that were first enacted in 2001 and 2003.
• Preserves the marriage penalty relief and the $1,000 per child tax credit.
Estate Tax
• Sets a two-year maximum estate tax rate of 35 percent and increases the exemption to $10 million for couples ($5 million for individuals).
Unemployment Insurance
• Extends enhanced unemployment insurance for another 13 months, through December 2011.
Extends Tax Deductions and Credits
• Extends through 2011 the research and development tax credit, deductions for state and local sales taxes and the ethanol and biodiesel tax credits.
• Extends a limited number of refundable tax credits initiated in 2009, including the American Opportunity Tax Credit for tuition, Earned-Income Tax Credit and the Refundable Child Tax Credit.
Two-Year Alternative Minimum Tax
• Adjusts for inflation the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) exemption amount for 2010 and 2011.
Payroll Tax Reduction
• Establishes a one year payroll tax reduction that will reduce the employee share of the payroll tax by 2 percentage points, down to 4.2 percent.
Business Expensing
• Increases small business expensing amount.
• Allows businesses to immediately deduct 100 percent of property placed in service between September 9, 2010 and December 31, 2011; and to take advantage of 50 percent bonus depreciation in 2012.

A terrific feature of DigitizerPro is the ability to create a motif run line. This lesson will cover how to create a motif run line by using one of the motifs available, the buttonhole stitch.
Gradient fill creates a beautiful effect that can be used either as shading or can stand alone as an alternative fill stitch.
Motif fill allows you to use motifs to create fill for an object. Your embroidery will become even more beautiful using this technique.
We can use the Turning Angle Fill tool to create embossed fill objects.
In traditional Trapunto, stitches are sewn in close rows around an area that is not sewn, creating an open space. It is negative sewing: sewing around an area to define a shape instead of in the area.
Trapunto designs become even more beautiful if the unsewn areas are outlined. That is a quick and easy addition we can make to the Pieces6 design.
In DigitizerPro, the Resequence Tool is one of the most effective tools in the software. It provides the ability to select an object, making it so easy to modify embroidery.
As we saw in Lesson #7, the Resequence tool can be used to resequence, combine, and select objects and thread colors. It also can be used to delete objects and thread colors from a design.
A useful feature of DigitizerPro is the Slow Redraw process. It allows you to travel through the design - that is, watch on the screen how the embroidery will be sewing on your embroidery machine.
There are lots of file formats in the embroidery world. File formats are identified by their file extension, which are the three letters after the dot in a file name (for example, .sew or .jef).
There are times when digitizing that we want to create holes in an object to fill them in with embroidery of a different color or fill pattern, which adds to the effect of the design.
The Photo Click process was developed because embroiderers want to create embroidery from photographs.
With the new Digitizer MB, you now have even more features for designing and creating your own brush-out embroidery designs.

I love fresh, uncured ham. To me the best way is to simply rub it
with salt and pepper and slow roast it at about 275 degrees until your
meat thermometer reads 170 right off the bone. It comes out juicy
and tender with an amazing 'crust' and the flavor can't be beat. I
think it's the best pork 'roast' there is.

Don't Let Hurricane Sandy Wreak Havoc With Your Credit Cards
As Hurricane Sandy approached the east coast, a number of newspapers in the region invited readers to post pictures of their personal experiences. Many were heartbreaking: trees across cars, branches that had crashed through roofs into bedrooms, and appalling flood damage. Luckily, most of what we saw was probably covered by insurance, although some policyholders may be disappointed when they come to make claims.
In particular, according to The Washington Post of Oct. 29, many householders may be in for a shock when they try to claim for flood damage. That's because few standard homeowner policies cover those risks. If you haven't paid extra for flood coverage, you could be looking at paying to repair the damage and replace ruined possessions yourself. And that could be expensive: The Post reports that claims for flood damage between 2007 and 2011 averaged $30,000.
Credit cards are one way forward
Some people have set aside money for emergencies in -- in this case aptly named -- rainy day funds. But few are likely to contain $30,000, so it's almost inevitable that many on the east coast are going to be borrowing to bridge some wide gaps.
If you're lucky, you may be covered by federal disaster assistance, but be warned: that only applies if the President declares an emergency for your area, and even then the money you receive is a loan that has to be repaid -- with interest. FEMA gives an example: "For a $50,000 loan at 4 percent interest, your monthly payment would be around $240 a month ($2,880 a year) for 30 years."That's a pretty good rate, and you might struggle to beat the deal even with a mortgage refinancing once you've taken closing costs into account. Other low-rate options, perhaps for smaller amounts, might include:
- A home equity line of credit or personal loan from your bank.
- Borrowing from relatives and friends who have the means to help.
- Applying to a peer-to-peer lender such as Prosper or Lending Club.
- Using your credit cards.
Using your credit cards smartlyObviously, your primary objective is to pay as little interest as possible, which may make plastic your least desirable option. IndexCreditCards.com reckons that, on the day Hurricane Sandy hit the continental United States, consumer credit card rates averaged 15.15 percent for non-rewards cards, and 17.64 percent for rewards credit cards. However, you may have no alternative other than to use plastic to purchase some replacement possessions and to fund some repairs. If that's the case, don't be dazzled by rewards. Almost always, whatever you earn in cash back, points or miles is going to be eaten up quickly by higher interest rates.

Barbie's Journal
feel like poo...even tho i have just tried to fobb kerrie off and say tht i am fine. i think she knows as well as i do tht i am a big shite...or at least i feel tht way.
well, today i sed to myself, tonite os going to go completely wrong on the ryan front. i shudnt treat guys the way i do, i wud be so safe with martin, but then ryan comes along and i just want the thing i cant have, i think that MAYBE me and martin cud be really happy, but it wud be too unfair to get with him now (even tho i cant because i am banned from bf's til the exams) but it wud be unfair if i did because i have these really really uncontrolable feelings for him, and it really sux.
there is no point in me trying to analyse my own feelings because if i am honest they never make any sense and are really just utter bullshit.
but i will do my best to describe how i am feeling because 1) i need to for myself and this is one place tht i can do it as it will not be scrutinised under the beady eyes of mymother 2) so tht if other ppl feel as lame as i feel then they know they r not alone.
thats my excuse to who eva is bored anuff to read this but anyways, yea i told myself tht tonite wud suk ass on the ryan front, and u kno tht reverse psychology against fate kinda way. wen u say oh this is gona b crap so tht whoever is in charge of this world changes it to make it great so tht ur wrong. and also i did have this really really dodgy feeling in my stomach everytime i thought of the club. and i was right..i knew it..we got to the club (ryan dint come to meet us as normal, atleast it happened once) and so wen we got there turns out june werent working so came home early meaning no talkin to ryan...and last week i made himpromise me to get credit and txt me...and it turns out he got the credit but was txting "some other bird" i felt so embarrased. spose thts jst life. but i jst want things to be perfect. there were loadsa stars in the sky tonite, i thought of sophie as i looked at the brightest star and thought about wot she'd tell me to do. she'd tell me to be postive and show him wot hismissin...but the thing is, he aint missing nothing,coz wot i have/am is not at all wot he wants. and tht makes me feel shit. but then i think about martin and i just get confused. i dont want to lead anyone on,thts not me, thts not wot i ever want to do...i'm not like tht...but
then i dont actually know who i am...i thought i was "nice girl, not bad mouthed,pleasent, nice, trustworthy, nice, not slaggy, not tarty" but i just foundout tht i am all of those. i just think tht i am so dillusional about myself, y wud i think tht about myself, i think i am so wrapped up in wot i wana b tht i think i am tht girl, but i'm not i am the complete opposite...and it sux to think i am so detatched from the real me! tht makes me feel shit. and i have felt quite fat recently. thts all i c at the moment either fitness videos, new diets thin ppl, everywhere...they're like sticks...and their like "do my video look how in shape i am by doin it" and yr like -- u were like that anyway u stoopid bitch!!! and then i think ---hey, u shud b like tht, aft 9 1/2 yrs of dancing and u still have the plump figure tht u have always had! it sux...i am unhappy about everything about me at the moment! just need a pick me up. it just all seems to be getting harder and harder! and i dont like tht! i dnt like it one bit...

The Forest Fire
Piero di Cosimo (14611522), oil on panel, 71.2 x 202 cm.
Renowned for his originality and inventiveness, Piero di Cosimo painted many themes from classical literature. Dating from about 1505, this unusual scene may have been one of a series described by Vasari as painted for Francesco del Pugliese in Florence. Two other panels, The Hunt and The Return from the Hunt, both now in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, are thematically related (and have similar forest fires) but seem to have been painted in the 1490s. All three are concerned with the history of early man, inspired by passages from Book 5 of De Rerum Natura by Lucretius (98–c.55 BC), who traces the origins of life on earth and the birth of community life, emphasizing the role of fire as a catalyst for change. The New York companion scenes vividly depict a primitive world, while The Forest Fire could have been made for a different patron, taking up particular themes relating to more advanced stages of human life. Piero painted a poetic interpretation of the classical source, with idiosyncratic details of hybrid beasts added at a late stage. The masterly rendition of the fire and distant landscape place him in the forefront of the development of landscape painting. [Presented by the National Art Collections Fund, 1933. WA1933.2]

In response to buzzer68's comment:
The NFL game has passed by Bill Belichick. He has yesterday's defensive schemes for today's offenses. No pass rush to speak of. Cannot change on the fly or adjust. The young coaches are taking over (Tomlin, Harbaugh, Harbaugh, McCarthy, Wisenhunt, Kubiak, etc.) and BB is behind the times. Time to move on, build a new philosophy and a new team from the ground up for the modern era. This is why Bill Parcells and Mike Ditka had to retire - the game passed them by and they knew it. Bill Belichick, you should have some honor and do the right thing: retire. The games get REAL tough at this time of the year and 20 points can get hard to come by - and his preparations don't appear to include anything less than 35 points provided by the offense. Trench warfare (like tonight's game) are a way of life in January football and if your schemes don't plan for that, time for a new schemer.
Let's see, Tomlin didn't make the playoffs after choking away games to Cleveland and Cincy, Wisenhunt lost his job, Kubiak and McCarthy got bounced in the divisional rounds and you think the game has passed BB?? Really?
