I had to go to the doctor on Friday for an ear infection. For the first time ever, I was excited to get on the scale. I got to tell the nurse that I was on the front scale. I not only was on the front scale; I weighed 20 pounds less on the doctor's scale than the last time I was there!!!!!!! (fully clothed with shoes on and at the end of a long schoolday)
This morning I had dropped to 277.3 on my scale.!!!!
It was over 18 years ago that I was this weight as a living weight. I checked with my doctor and I need less than 20 pounds to not be morbidly obese. I am in the 270's!!! It feels so good. I am going to take another picture when I get to 270. I am almost to the first of my visualization pictures. I need to dig out a swimsuit to start taking my pictures in, so I can compare them to the visualization shots.
I have size 16 red and white polka-dot tankini that I can't wait to fit into.

This is my favorite quote from her blog:
"I've changed the norm. I don't have to worry about how to become a daily exerciser once I've hit my goal weight, and whether or not I'll accomplish this...because that has become my fitness norm already." TheTurtlebear
She opened my eyes to something I had never realized. I love SP!!! I learn new things everyday !
Spark On! We Got This!
But more than that, I feel so good! My skin is clear and I look years younger than I did in July. In fact, I look like my profile picture again. lol
Today is "Talk Like A Pirate Day" and we are celebrating it at my school. Only a few students dressed for it, but the teachers are having a blast. I bought a Victorian dress in 2008 -size 2X and could barely squezze into it and had to wear a jacket over it to look decent for a Steampunk event I attended. I was exhausted when I got home and didn't hang it up. My husband washed it with everything else-and it shrunk to a half size smaller. Today, I am wearing it for the first time and it is loose in the waist. I am wearing my boots for the first time since 2007. They fit and I am having such a good time stomping around that I have ordered another pair-this time black knee-highs that lace up the back. They are going to look so awesome with my black leggings.
One of the side benefits of this lifestyle change is the change in my self-care. Last school year, the only thing I did for myself was buy some simple T-shirt dresses in all the colors of the rainbow. I woke up one day last April and realized that everything in my closet was years old and black. So, I added color-lots of color. I bought 3 orange dresses, 2 red, and 4 green-along with yellow, purple, brown and blue. They brightened up my look-but didn't give me what I now have-The Radiance of Joy.
I actually spend time each morning at my vanity, look at myself in the mirror and smile. I wear makeup everyday for the first time in years. My hair is cut in a style instead of trimmed because it is too long. I got a manicure and pedicure Saturday for our evening dinner date. My "little black dress" I bought in May for my anniversary-and barely fit into is loose all over. My legs are amazing-I really need mini-skirts to come back in style. lol
Life is fun! I laugh and dance my way through my days. My students never know what to expect. Somedays I put on great music and tell everyone to chair dance. It is amazing how much that little burst of movement and joy revives my students. It is so cool to have jaded teenagers rush to get to my class so they won't miss anything. Today's music is The Chieftains and the dance of the day is a jig. lol
Life is wonderful and God is so good. I am going to have an amazing week this week.
Edit-I was just interviewed for the District Newsletter. Earlier today, my principal agreed that this could be the First Annual Talk Like a Pirate Day for our school. Woo Hoo! I never would have spearheaded trhis without Sparkpeople. Last year, I could barely drag myself to work each day. There was no way I could have planned anything extra.
I went over my calories for the day-but less than the amount of extra Cardio calories I had burned this week. SPark On! We Got This!
This Spark article made all the difference. It was a French based cuisine-so I knew what to look out for when reading ingredients. My only indulgence was dessert. We had fried greenbeans for an appetizer. I had 5 greenbeans and ate them slowly. I had an arugula salad-needed more veggies for the day- and picked baked salmon for my entree. It was served on a bed of whipped parsnips and topped by a wilted salad of baby spinach.
My dessert was the most wonderful banana pudding I have ever had-made with fresh baked vanilla wafers.
The food was amazing and worth every yummy calorie. We plan on going back for anniversaries and birthdays. It is our favorite restaurant.
I meant to write about the trek last week. I had it all planned days full of sunshine and fresh air. Evenings giggling and singing around the campfire. What I didn't plan on was being sick that first week. I am better this week, but last week it was all I could do to keep putting one foot in front of another. I got my tent buddy, sonia not to say anything so I wouldn't have to go home. All I did was march through my days half dead and fall exhausted into my sleeping bag each night. If Sonia hadn't kept after me to eat, I probably would have skipped more meals than I ate. I couldn't smell the fresh air and didn't notice the scenery. But this week will be different, I am determined not to miss anymore of this wonderful adventure.
This is one of the reasons that I was so excited about this trek. I want to collect as many pictures of butterlies as I can. There are 139 confirmed species in the park and I want to photograph as many as possible. I have an 8 GB SD card in my camera-so I can take thousands of pictures.
I love the fact that there is an online species list with pictures so that I can label my collection when I return home.

This brush is a must have! I use this brush for perfect application of e/s under my eyes to create a smoky eyed look and also I use it to line the upper lash line. You can use this with SB cream eyeliner or BB gel liner, I have for both and it works perfectly. I also use it with dry e/s all the time as well. It provides perfect application every time. Oh and it works well as a brow brush but I have been using the 208 now for that.
I can't believe I didn't get this brush! I love it. It works great for lining your eyes with shadow and this brush makes it easy and gives you more precision compared to other brushes. It's a little pricey but totally worth it for this one. I don't regret buying this.
I use this brush to fill in eyebrows, smudge eye pencil and to apply eye shadow as a liner - wet or dry. Love it! Not cheap, but brushes are investment and I don't regret getting this one.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The MA at the MAC counter at Nordstrom used this brush to line my upper lids with the Carbon eye shadow and I loved the look it gave me, so I decided to buy it. I've been using this for about a week now and I like the look I get even better using this brush myself. I've never been able to get such a thin, sharp, precise line, especially at the corners of my eyes using drugstore liquid liners with the brushes that come with them. I doubt I would ever have to buy this again unless I lost it (I soo hope I don't), but I would most definitely repurchase this.
WOW! I haven't been reviewing much lately, but I have been spending a lot of my cosmetic $$ on brushes...and this is another winner! I use it wet or dry with shadow to line my lids. This is stiff enough to apply a perfect line, but the bristles are soft and flexible so it's also easy to work with. This brush picks up and deposits color wonderfully. As usual with eye makeup brushes, I could use a shorter handle, but I'll live. MAC brushes are so well-made that I doubt I'll be repurchasing anytime soon, but if I ever lose it I'll have to run out and get another asap! It's insanely cheap considering it makes application so simple and I get more mileage out of the products I already own.
This is a very good brush. I agree with everyone - a must need for every brush collection. I have a scar where my eyebrow is, creating a thin hairless patch. This brush helps me easily fill the scar in with powder every morning.
I just want to make one extra note. The LONG handle one is the one to get. NOT the one that comes with the holiday brush sets. I have both and the shorter handle one is poorer in quality - the hairs are thicker = rougher - okay for filling in eyebrows but hurts when used for applying eyeliner.
I don't know I said I would buy this Small Angle Brush again because I won't NEED to! I purchased mine about 4 years ago and it is still in perfect condition. I bought in order to fill in my brows but now that I am using Smashbox's BrowTech I like the Smashbox Brow Brush better as it is stiffer and easier to apply the clear wax. However, MAC #266 is perfect for applying powder to the brows or lash line. This is a must-have brush for every makeup kit.
I have always felt clumsy with eye makeup, never getting that look that MAs seem to get with so little effort. It turns out my problem was I wasn't using the right tools... pretty obvious when you think about it that some pathetic sponge applicator isn't going to do a good job! I only bought this brush yesterday but this morning I got 100% better results in lining my eyes and applying shadow to the crease. So yes it isn't a cheap tool but it prevents my expensive eye products looking cheap!
The MAC 266 is my HG brush. It was my first delicious dip into the expensive but wonderful world of the pro MAC brushes. It makes the best eyebrow line through my fair sparse and uneven brows. I wash it occasionally in shampoo as the MA suggested, and it's still like new after a few years of wear. So quick, reliable and a joy to use. Thank you MAC for producing a brush quality that has ended my binning of makeup brushes. I've binned so many brushes, especially GWP, over the years. I'm intrigued that MAC does no GWP. Overall I probably spend no more money on MAC makeup and brushes now than I spent on makeup before, because I've always been a sucker for GWP, and hardly any of the GWP's have actually had anything in them of real use to me. So often the impulse purchase I make to get the GWP isn't really useful either.
Amazing and perfect brush to line eyes with e/s, wet or dry. Also very nice to use on brows (NARS brow brush is better for that purpose tho imo).

Hamlet Au over at New World Notes has a blog post about Blizzard's decision to cancel Titan. Titan was a planned new MMO from Blizzard, a long rumoured new MMO, indeed seven years long and it never seemed to see the light of day but it was supposed to be the next big thing.
Hamlet's article has a link to a Polygon post on the same issue : Blizzard cancels its next-gen MMO Titan after seven years. That article has some great quotes from Blizzard's co-founder and CEO Mike Morhaime and Blizzard's senior vice president of story and franchise development, Chris Metzen. Linden Lab should pay careful attention here to what is being said and what has happened. Mike Morhaime is quoted as saying :
We had created World of Warcraft, and we felt really confident that we knew how to make MMOs, So we set out to make the most ambitious thing that you could possibly imagine. And it didn't come together.
Linden Lab have created Second Life and I'm pretty sure that they feel really confident on how to make virtual worlds. They have now set out to make the most ambitious virtual world that one could possibly imagine, but will it actually come together?
Chris Metzen is quoted as saying :
We were losing perspective and getting lost in the weeds a little. We had to allow ourselves to take that step back and reassess why the hell we were doing that thing in the first place.
Linden Lab need to ensure that they don't find themselves in this position with their future virtual world, that they don't find themselves making something that isn't fun, that isn't really progressing how they would like it to and that might not be worth their time at the end of the day.
Then there's the World Of Warcraft factor. World Of Warcraft may be in decline but it's still quite healthy. The same can be said of Second Life. Chris Metzen confirmed that Blizzard will continue to support World Of Warcraft, indeed he goes further and says :
My hope personally is that we'll support it forever
Linden Lab have said that they will continue to support Second Life, I'm sure there are people at the lab who hope they will support Second Life forever.

Sometimes, you measure commitment by the hour
Posted by Tom Grant on November 13, 2009
- 314 Recommendations
- 0 comments
During a breakfast meeting this morning, someone asked a very sharp question: Are businesses really operating differently because of social media? I then jumped in the car, drove from San Francisco back to our Foster City office, and heard how Cisco has used social media to change product launches.
The obvious change, of course, is lowering the cost, if you're not renting out the Moscone Center for a big launch party. Slightly less obvious changes include the ability to reach more people in more countries. , the virtual launch also makes it possible to reach more people, in more countries, than Cisco could with traditional face-to-face events.
So far, we're just considering changes in capability. Doing product launches cheaper, faster, better is an important innovation, but it's not a sign that a company is operating or thinking in a significantly different way. You might buy a cheaper, better, and faster car, but you might not change your driving habits one bit, or take more care to follow the traffic laws.
Therefore, during this conversation with Cisco, the one change from going to virtual product launches that really stuck out was operational: the marketing effort continues beyond the big ballyhoo day. Cisco employees remain engaged in conversations with customers through social media channels.
Contrast that with the old Moscone Center-style launch events. Everyone shows up for the big photo op, and then they go home. Sure, leads get entered into the CRM system, but that's hardly the same as continuing a conversation with the people you met at the launch event.
Of course, that means that some people at Cisco have to dedicate time to that continued conversation, instead of racing off to the next big launch event. There's a business decision behind allocating resources in this fashion, based on a different set of assumptions and calculations than the "marketer with a megaphone" launch events of 15 or 20 years ago.
Are social media for real? Yes, when they effect how companies operate.

Home » Elder Care » Health Conditions » Heart Disease » Articles » How Winter Woes Can Wreak Havoc on Your Heart
With the holiday season rapidly approaching, you may find yourself more prone to bouts of chest tightness and racing heart rates.
The easy explanation for these feelings is stress. After all, from November's massive family feast, until December's celebratory blitz, life can seem like an endless series of prepping, planning, eating and visiting.
If you're a family caregiver, these obligations pile right on top of the already full list of things you have to do to take care of your loved one. It's enough to give even the calmest and most-organized person heart palpitations.
Whatever their cause, heart symptoms should never be taken lightly—especially during the winter months.
According to Cynthia Thaik, M.D., a cardiologist and member of the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association, research has shown that cardiovascular deaths spike by about 18 percent as the days shorten and the weather cools.
Why do cardiovascular concerns increase in winter?
Cold weather, being indoors more often, stress, lack of vitamin D and changes in the daylight to nighttime ratio all play a role in increasing a person's overall risk of cardiac problems during the winter, says Thaik.
There's also something about the holiday season that seems to be hard on the heart—Christmas and New Year's top the list of dangerous days for cardiovascular problems and death.
And, according to recent research, it doesn't seem to matter whether you live in icy Wisconsin, or sunny Florida—the winter months can still take a toll on your ticker.
Researchers from the University of New Mexico discovered that people who lived in Texas, Georgia, Arizona and Los Angeles experienced the same jump in heart-death risk as those residing in cooler states, such as Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
6 strategies for staving off a winter coronary
There are things you and your loved one can do to shelter your heart against winters' dangerous effects:

President Barack Obama says passage of his health care proposals would create new jobs by making small business startups more affordable.
In his weekly radio and Internet video address Saturday, the president linked one of his biggest challenges - a worse-than-expected loss of jobs with a top priority: passage of far-reaching changes to the United States' health care system.
If aspiring entrepreneurs believe they can stay insured while switching jobs, Mr. Obama said, they will start new businesses and hire workers.
He said he has met people "who've got a good idea and the expertise and determination to build it into a thriving business. But many can't take that leap because they can't afford to lose the health insurance they have at their current job."
Small businesses create many of the nation's jobs, the President said, and some have the potential to become big companies.
Mr. Obama praised the Senate Finance Committee for crafting a health care bill that includes many of his priorities. Small businesses could buy health insurance through an exchange, he said, "where they can compare the price, quality and services of a wide variety of plans."
The government would subsidize health insurance for many businesses and individuals, the President said.
Mr. Obama acknowledged that a health care bill is far from final passage in the Democratic-controlled Congress.
The Senate Finance bill will be merged with another version and sent to the Senate floor, where scores of amendments might be offered and Republicans could mount a filibuster.
The House, meanwhile, is advancing a more liberal bill that includes a public option to compete with private health insurers. The Senate Finance Committee rejected that idea.
Mr. Obama said "reforming our health insurance system will be a critical step in rebuilding our economy so that our entrepreneurs can pursue the American dream again and our small businesses can grow and expand and create new jobs again."
In the weekly Republican address, Congresswoman Candice Miller of Michigan blamed the continued job losses on Democratic policies and said Obama's health proposals won't help.
Ms. Miller said the Obama-backed $789 billion economic stimulus package fell far short of its goals.
And she criticized a House-passed energy bill that would set limits and costs on greenhouse gas emissions. The plan, which the Senate has not taken up, "would increase electricity bills, raise gasoline prices and ship more American jobs overseas," Miller said.
She called for deeper tax cuts for small businesses "to put our economy back on track."
As for health care, Ms. Miller said, "Washington Democrats intend to fund their government-run health care plan with cuts to Medicare benefits" and with new taxes on businesses.

Da Vinci Robotic Surgery Debuts At Lakewood Regional Medical Center
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lakewood Regional Medical Center in Lakewood, CA, has performed its first robotic surgery using the da Vinci Robotic Suite, a $2 million investment that allows state-of-the-art surgical procedures. The da Vinci® Si™ advanced technology benefits patients through smaller incisions that lead to less stress on the body, reduced chances of infection and faster recovery times post-surgery.
"These technological advancements provide surgeons with unparalleled precision, dexterity and control that enable a minimally invasive approach for many complex surgical procedures," said Jennifer Liu, MD, an urologist who performed the first da Vinci-assisted surgery at Lakewood Regional Medical Center.
The da Vinci OR suite is being used primarily for gynecologic, urologic, thoracic and general surgery procedures, including, but not limited to: prostatectomy, hysterectomy, myomectomy, lobectomy, gallbladder and colorectal surgery.
In addition to improving patient care and safety, the robotic technology system has several unique features designed to provide additional clinical benefits and efficiency in the operating room for physicians using the rapidly emerging technology, including:
- Enhanced 3D, high-definition vision of operative field with up to 10x magnification
- Excellent visual clarity of tissue and anatomy
- Surgical dexterity and precision
- New ergonomic settings for greater surgeon comfort

Toshiba Corp.'s Westinghouse Electric Co. will sign an agreement with Chinese partners to build four reactors in China, the U.S. embassy in Beijing said.
Westinghouse, Shaw and Chinese companies including State Nuclear Power Technology Corp. will sign the agreement for the ``multi-billion-dollar'' contract in Beijing tomorrow, the embassy said in an e-mail to reporters today.
Westinghouse's chief executive officer, Steve Tritch, will sign the contract, it said.
U.S. Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman and Ma Kai, head of China's National Development and Reform Commission, signed an initial agreement in Beijing on Dec. 16 awarding four reactors to Westinghouse. The U.S. company was bought by Japan's Toshiba for $4.16 billion in October.

Sand Hill Foundation 3000 Sand Hill Road, 1-120 Menlo Park, CA 94025
Grant Making Initiative: The Silicon Valley Out-of-School-Time Collaborative 2010-2015
The Silicon Valley Out-of-School Time Collaborative supports nine local organizations to develop and strengthen academic pathways beyond the standard school day for middle and high school students, with the goal to empower youth from low-income families to succeed in school and attend college. The Collaborative provided capacity building support from June 2010 to June 2013.
Click here
to see a video about the Collaborative.
In 2014-15, the Collaborative will focus on embedding organizational practices that build character strengths, as well as academic skills. Recent research suggests that non-cognitive skills – the strategies, attitudes, and behaviors youth use inside and outside of the classroom – are critical to young people's success in school and the workplace (see model below). Commonly cited examples of non-cognitive skills include tenacity, optimism, self-regulation, and grit.
Many of these skills are a natural fit for out of school settings, including after-school and summer programs. They can be cultivated in young people through multiple means, and are not dependent on specific academic content knowledge among staff, as is the case with more traditional academic skill development activities. Moreover, available evidence suggests that non-cognitive skill development is deeply dependent on a positive learning environment, which closely mirrors positive youth development principles.
Goals of the Initiative:
To build the capacity of each participant organization to embed non-cognitive skill development protocols and activities into their programs.
To create a learning community focused on quality of curriculum implementation and evaluation.
To advance the field of after-school and summer academic services, collectively aspiring to demonstrate and share models for effectiveness with others both inside and outside our regional area.
The Collaboratives' three family foundation funders --
Sand Hill Foundation
The Sobrato Family Foundation
, and the
David & Lucile Packard Foundation
-- have each demonstrated a long-standing commitment to the field of education and the promise that education provides for economic mobility and well-being in life. We recognize that low-income students in our region are not necessarily receiving all the supports they need to succeed in school during the regular academic day, and that programs after school and during summer months are critical motivators and safety-nets for many. In Silicon Valley, a diverse array of nonprofits has evolved to fill this need. In the first three years of the initiative, which was additionally funded by
Silicon Valley Social Venture Fund (SV2)
, our aim was to bring these organizations together to learn from one another, strengthen their individual enterprises, and provide access to outside expertise to help them realize significantly increased impact by the end of the three-year initiative. The 2010-13 final evaluation is available

During this year's annual I/O conference, Google revealed Material Design, a responsive design language that aims to unify all their products, platforms, and devices. Google's promotional video amplifies the compelling theory of a rationalized space and system of motion found in Material. Videos like this are common in the industry, and are often made using Adobe After Effects -- a very powerful video, motion graphics, and compositing application. As an interaction designer working at frog, I am tasked with communicating to clients how a system works and what an application looks and feels like. Producing a high fidelity animated video like the one Google created for Material is certainly a possibility, but it often requires additional time, scoping, and resources. Instead, I use Keynote because you can tell the same story just as effectively in much less time.

Marco Beghin, president of Moleskine, delighted the FUSE conference audience in Chicago today when he skirted the traditional and, often tiresome, power point presentation and moved towards an overhead projector. He placed his small moleskin notebook on top of the clean white screen to begin his talk "The Analog Digital Continuum." Storytelling in the most nostalgic way, Beghin flipped through his notebook to unfold pictures and script that were tucked between the pages. This underscored his narrative about the importance of artifacts in human identity, highlighting a 3,500 year old skeleton of a nomad found among his knives, bowstring, and copper axe as an example of how the objects that we carry with us can tell a story of our experiences. But Beghin wasn't arguing for us to bury our experiences in notebooks. He explained the obvious: the possibility of sharing analogue experience is amplified by the digital experiences we have through online storytelling. At the Salon di Mobile this week in Milan, Beghin announced that Moleskin would display the reverse phenomenon by capturing all online data happening around the event with a 3ft high robot and transcribing it on pieces of paper to create a physical expression of the conversations happening digitally.

The European Union recently published the Innovation Union Scoreboard 2010, a performance assessment of innovation in EU member states. It investigates relative strengths and weaknesses of the research and innovation systems per country along related indicators. The monitored categories cover enablers, firm activities and outputs. "Enablers" investigate the essential ingredients to the activity such as HR, Finance, and Research Systems. "Firm activities" comprise indicators like investments, linkages and entrepreneurship, and intellectual assets. "Outputs" monitor indicators that translate into actual benefits for the entire economy, such as innovators and economic effects. However, member states are clustered into categories like innovation leaders, innovation followers, moderate innovators and modest innovators. A brief look into the results reveals that Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Germany are grouped as innovation leaders. The second cluster indicates innovation followers ranking above EU average, while a third cluster sums up countries that are weak in innovation. Norway is ranked "moderate innovator" performing below the average of the 27 countries monitored.

The Perth gazette and Western Australian times/15 March 1867
|The Perth gazette and Western Australian times (1867)
15 March 1867
Probably no event in the colony ever tickled the risible faculties of the public, than did the escape of the notorious convict Moondyne Joe on the afternoon of Thursday last week. Much of the amusement felt arose from remembrance of the theatrical exhibition made of Joe by the Acting Comptroller General when he was last captured — chaining him to a post in one of the yards, and Mr Hampton improving the occasion by addressing the assembled prisoners, and pointing out to them Joe's sad condition, as an example of what would befall them if they went and did likewise. Joe's ingenuity in making his escape from his apparently hopeless condition has gained him many sympathisers, who express an opinion that he has earned his freedom, more especially as Mr Hampton is said to have told him, when he saw him put into the cell which had been specially prepared for him, that if he managed to make his escape again, he would forgive him. That cell was made wonderfully strong, as much so as iron and wood could make it, and in it Joe was kept chained to a ring in the floor or wall, allowing a movement of about one yard, in heavy irons, with one hour's exercise daily in one of the yards. The Surgeon, however, reported that a greater amount of open air was necessary for the maintenance of health; consequently Mr Hampton selected a position in the angle of the wall at the back of the yard of the Superintendent's house, and there Joe was set to work at stone breaking under the eye of the sentry upon the prison walls, and the warder of the chain-gang working in the yards. How long he was so employed we know not, but on Thursday afternoon on being visited by the warder, the prisoner was gone and in his place was a neatly contrived dummy. It seems that the broken stone had been allowed to accumulate until it got to a considerable height, and together with that unbroken which Joe had been allowed to pile around him, concealed his person below his waist from the view of the sentry and the warder, and chance which Joe did not allow to escape. His plan must have taken some time to execute, for the first thing was to provide a means of getting through the wall, a work of considerable labour... The hole ready through the wall into Mr Lefroy's yard, Joe then prepared for his exit by sticking his hammer upright and with some umbrella wire he had got possession of, he formed a shape something of a man's shoulders and arms. Upon the top he placed his cap and having slit up the sleeves of his jacket and shirt, managed to slip out of them and leave them upon the frame he had constructed; then having got rid of his irons and divested himself of his trousers, got through his hole in the wall...

Christmas tree storage bag
By Granny B
from Belmont NC
Comments about Artificial Tree Storage Bag:
Second one we have ordered. Used one for several years for a very big and heavy tree. Bag finally ripped at the handle from the weight of picking it up and carrying it down from the attic.
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

Perfect to keep safe til next Christmas!

About Me Budget Shopper
Perfect for our Christmas Tree. This would be great for pillows and large items. I would use it for sleeping bags, blankets. Anything you want to store in the attic and want to keep free from dust and dirt. Very nice and buy when on sale. A great deal.
Our tree is in a happy place!
By Great Gran Linda
from Florence, KY
Works great for storing artificial trees. Easier to carry, and takes up less space than the falling apart box.
Good for Price
By Nurse Debi
from Festus, MO
About Me Midrange Shopper
This Christmas Tree Storage Bag serves its purpose. It has a double zipper, one side of which broke before we could get it into the shed. Because it was nylon, it self-repaired, so not a real problem. It did not matter which end we placed the top/bottom of the tree as the bag is a big rectangle. The material feels a little flimsy, but nothing poked through when we packed and carried. This is our first year to use a storage bag, so have nothing to compare relative to longevity. We would recommend this product with these reservations.
"Great" big green bag!
By Pam
from Missouri
I love this product! I no longer have to fight to get the tree back into that small torn up cardboard box! This bag is even big enough that I store the tree stand, two strings of lights, the star for on top, and the electrical cord with timer! Now that is a "Great" big green bag!
I would buy this item again
By MommaRu

I will be able to get rid of the box now since I have to bag to put the tree in.

The bag was plenty big so we had no problems getting the tree parts in it. The handles made it easy for two people to carry it. However, before we got it to our storage shed it had holes in it.

Sir Richard F. Burton's translation of The Kama Sutra remains one of the best English interpretations of this early Indian treatise on politics, social customs, love, and intimacy. Its crisp style set a new standard for Sanskrit translation.
The Kama Sutra stands uniquely as a work of psychology, sociology, Hindu dogma, and sexology. It has been a celebrated classic of Indian literature for 1,700 years and a window for the West into the culture and mysticism of the East.
This Modern Library Paperback Classic reprints the authoritative text of Sir Richard F. Burton's 1883 translation.

Die-hard Red Sox, Cardinals fans head to St. Louis
Updated On: Oct 26 2013 11:12:25 PM EDT
Two friends and die-hard baseball fans made a pact during a spring training game, and on Saturday, they made it come true.
They were both smiling as they made their way to the airport terminal, but Red Sox fan Chris Coulter and Cardinals' fan Hobie Holbach know that come the end of the series, only one of them will still be smiling. Coulter said he was confident it would be him.
"The Red Sox have only lost three games in a row twice this year," Coulter said. "(Jake) Peavy is pitching. He had a bad outing the first time out. The second time, pitched well in Tampa. I think it comes back to Boston for (Games 6 and 7)."
Holbach said he is just as confident despite the Cardinals' meltdown in Game 1, calling it an aberration.
"You sometimes have a bad game, but we didn't panic," Holbach said. "No problem. We won Game 2 and are going home. We're glad to be there."
Holbach said he has been a Cardinals' fan since the 1967 World Series, which was also against Boston.
"I loved Bob Gibson because he struck everybody out and then I moved on, but I always followed them," Holbach said.
Coulter's roots as a Red Sox fan go back even further, to 1964.
Both teams are storied franchises with passionate fan bases, but there are subtle differences, even in their colors.
"Red Sox red are for people that are more fickle fans," Holbach said. "Cardinal red is for people who are loyal."

Enterprise-Level Health-Care Applications
When the Transaction Manager receives a response from the component, it forwards the response to the communication layer that sent the request. The communication layer then translates the result into a format that is recognizable by the data client. The data is then sent back to the client in its native format.
We needed to make changing the user interface as easy as possible. The first test came when we wanted to adapt an existing PC-based browser interface to a wireless Palm Pilot and cell phone. We wanted to allow our field personnel to use a very simple tool—cell phones—to access the database. Our first challenge was to deliver driving directions to a patient's home on a browser-enabled cell phone or wireless Palm Pilot. By using our translator technology, we were able to take an existing web-based application (in this case a report with 150 columns of data) and adapt it using a new template to the wireless world. We ported to a WML interface in less than four hours, with no recoding of the business or database components (see Figure 4). We reproduced this feat using web clipping technology to the Palm VIIX. It took four hours because we were not familiar with WML or web clipping. The Yankee Group says there are up to 12 million potential users in the medical industry of wireless technology. The Web is our tool today, but we will soon witness an explosion of wireless interfaces. We would be shortsighted to have an architecture that would require any recoding of business components (see Figure 5).
Interfaces and translators, which are part of the Communication Layer, package data for the business components. Interfaces and translators also format data that is sent back to the original client source. As one technique to format the data, the interpreter can use a template; for example, an HTML template could represent a classic master detail report.
Interfaces and translators enable developers to focus on the business logic without the distractions of how the data is formatted or presented. These translators can use a common stream of data coming from the business component and move it to virtually any front end: Web, IVR, wireless or even print streams.
More importantly, this allows reuse of components if the data client changes. Having the presentation and communication logic separate from the business logic speeds software development and allows for faster application deployment and updates. It also enables developers, particularly web and graphics programmers, to focus on the presentation without having to worry about the business logic or database I/O.
eTransMan uses a component software model. Data clients and other requesters invoke managed business components and developers design business components or modify their components by focusing on the business processes. This development strategy enables developers to build components quickly with their existing knowledge and skills.
We needed the ability to alter the availability of individual business components without affecting any other components. We found that this feature was missing from many of the commercial and open-source transaction platforms that we surveyed.
Health care's computing environments require administrative vigilance. Performance and security monitoring, failure and alert management, and a host of other operational tasks are more difficult in a distributed environment. We also designed web-based administration capabilities to bring eCommerce applications on-line and off-line. The easiest way to address this was to use the interface and translation layer to manage it through the Web. We use eTransMan to manage eTransMan (see Figure 6).
eTransMan's Database Abstraction Layer provides a common interface for database interaction. This layer enables developers to interact with any database without modifying business component code.
The advantage of the Data Abstraction Layer is that a business component need not notice if the underlying data source changes, say from DB2 running on an IBM mainframe to Oracle running on Linux. Component programmers need not have their logic depend upon the specifics of a particular database. There are no SQL or HLLAPI manipulation routines in a component, for example. All of the data source access is through a specific component that translates generic requests into a format for a particular data source.
Unlike some transaction platforms that interact with a database using JDBC or ODBC, eTransMan can take advantage of the database's native libraries for database interaction. This engineering achieves fast database access with minimal overhead.
A metadata layer, stored and read by the component at instantiation, controls calling from the component to data access procedures for the database. This lets each software layer do what it does best: the database to read and write data, the application program to run business logic. This layered abstraction has already allowed us to move an application developed in one RDBMS to a different data layer.
Dog Health
I am currently heading the staff at VitaHound Labs. The organization is dedicated to pet nutrition, specifically canine health plans. The dog supplement industry is in its infancy and for that reason the demand for dependable brands is massive. Our team of dog nutrition experts has created a highly recognized forum on dog health allowing the interaction with many dog owners, essential to gaining the whole story on the modern dogs diet. Our products are helping to reduce the chronic disease and shortened life spans canines are experiencing.
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.
