The It Works Body Wraps Side Effects
Having tried everything from diet pills to fancy fitness programs, I was left dejected and very much on the verge of giving up on my quest to lose weight after the failure to acquire results. After all, I had been trying different products over the years. Hence, no matter what I tried I couldn't find lasting results. After everything had failed, I considered using steroids as a cheat to get where I wanted. However, after a friend of mine talked me out of using steroids due to the possible consequences, I was left standing in the middle of nowhere until I was strongly suggested to try out It Works Wraps, also known as skinny wraps.
While I had known about
skinny wraps
by It Works ever since it was first introduced, I was unsure about the ability of the product to deliver successful results. A body wrap that could deliver weight loss and produce a more toned body seemed too good to be true and looked more like a scam to me. Moreover, I was also worried about the It Works Body Wraps side effects. However, despite my skepticism, a lot of people around me had used it to quite a bit of success and naturally raved about its ability to produce results.
According to them,
It Works Wraps
were simply the best slimming body wraps out there and something that was definitely worth a try. However, before ordering the pack, I did complete my share of research by searching online on various health forum topics such as 'It Works Body Wraps side effects'. Hence, when I found the product safe to use, I ordered a single pack from the official website for $99.00 as a distributor; I figured if they worked like they said they do, I would change the world one wrap at a time.
What is a Skinny Wrap?
Skinny Wrap is a ultimate body applicator that has been designed to help users look more shaped and toned after completing a treatment. The wraps contain several highly researched and coveted weight loss ingredients, it delivers successful weight loss and practicality of use in equal measure.
In addition to helping you look fitter, a Skinny Wrap also helps curb the appetite by reducing the blood sugar levels in the body. As high blood sugar levels tend to encourage cravings for unhealthy foods, a body wrap's advanced formula and use of Carb Inhibitors eliminates the possibility of such cravings. Therefore, not only does the product ensure weight loss, but it also promotes a much healthier lifestyle. However, there are some
It Works Body Wraps side effects
that I need to address although I didn't really experience any except being a little thirsty when I didn't consume the suggested amounts of water after applying the wraps, I will go over those towards the end of this post.
How to Use a Body Wrap?
The one thing that appealed to me the most about the body wraps was how simple it was to apply and use them. Although It Works provides a very clear description on how to use them, the wraps are highly simple to apply. Once you have bought a pack of Skinny Wraps, you simply have to take out a body wrap and apply it to the area you want to for at least 45 minutes but no more than eight hours. However, as lack of hydration can cause the results to dwindle, you should drink plenty of water while using the wraps (this was part of my it works body wraps side effects when I used my first wrap).
Results of It Works Body Wraps
With all of the pre-requisites completed (with my second wrap, I botched my first attempt), it is now time to move on to the core of this It Works review and provide you with the answer to the question I am sure all of you would be wondering about, 'The It Works Body Wraps Side Effects'
As I researched the web, I read articles where some users experienced a significant reduction in cravings for sugary and junk foods…I don't know if I would call this a it works body wraps side effects issue…Seems to be an ideal side effect to me. Here are a few more that I found (I did not experience all of these)
The 3 It Works Body Wraps Side Effects Found
The 3 main side effects which I personally went through after making use of It Works were
1. Dehydration (You really need to consume half your body weight in ozs. for 3 days following use.)
2. Allergy (A few women experience allergies to the natural ingredients…(do a small skin test 1st)
3. Nausea (A few other posts stated that they had a nauseous feeling after using the wraps.
Is Skinny Wraps worth it?
In a time where bogus weight loss products and supplements are doing the rounds in the market, this product manages to standout head and shoulders above the competition. With an advanced formula and use of natural ingredients, the product provides the ultimate weight loss solution, albeit you need to use them as a tool in your weight loss arsenal. By incorporating proper diet and exercise you will be sure obtain the maximum results. If not you will be right back where you started. If you have ANY questions please feel free to contact me by using the information below. Also read into one of the top
It Works Body Wraps Reviews

devices were tested in the Plowshares program (an activity that explored the feasibility of using nuclear explosives for industrial applications), and the July 1962 Sedan nuclear test was more than 70 percent fusion (see DOE, 2000). If sufficient warning time is available, the largely fusion device can be chosen from tested designs and built with modern safety and security features.
To understand the action of a standoff nuclear explosion, and its ΔV capability, a member of the Mitigation Panel (David S.P. Dearborn, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) simulated the effect of a nuclear standoff detonation on homogeneous 1-kilometer-diameter NEOs with densities between 1.91 and 1.31 g/cm3. In these numerical models of a standoff burst about 150 meters above the NEO's surface, about 40 seconds after the burst the NEO's speed change ranged from 2.2 to 2.4 cm/s. Approximately 97.5 percent of each NEO remained intact (the NEO was held together by gravity only—it had no tensile strength), while about 2.5 percent of its mass was ejected at greater than escape speed by the rebound to the shock wave that passed through the body in reaction to the ejection of heated material. Higher porosity of the NEO will dissipate more energy, resulting in less ejecta and less speed change. The minimum speed change for a highly porous NEO is controlled by the amount of totally vaporized material. In these models this minimum ΔV is about 0.8 cm/s for an explosion with a strong neutron output. This work is preliminary, and the results provide only the scale of what can be done. NEOs come in many more sizes, shapes, and structures than what the committee could include in this simulation.
A standoff burst is usually considered the preferred approach among the nuclear options. One clear advantage is that there is no need to maneuver for a low approach speed as might be required for a surface or shallow sub-surface delivery. Neutron output associated with high fusion-to-fission ratios has many advantages including deeper neutron penetration (more impulse), high coupling efficiency, and an insensitivity to NEO composition.
Ahrens and Harris (1992, 1994) suggested using a surface or near-surface nuclear explosion. NASA's 2006 study proposed the detonation of one or more subkiloton nuclear explosives on an NEO's surface (NASA PA&E, 2006). In this approach the yield of the explosive must be stable and well determined. At 100 kilotons, the effect of 0.5-kiloton yield uncertainty is negligible, but not when the entire yield is 0.5 kiloton. The test base provides assurance of an effective yield with negligible uncertainty between 100 tons and 1 kiloton, but not for smaller yields. The committee notes that a rendezvous mission to implant explosives may be far more difficult than delivering a larger explosive package just above the surface.
As seen in Figure 5.2, yields between 100 and 500 tons provide significant speed increments to the body of an NEO with only modest amounts of ejecta (large amounts would be undesirable). Most of the ejected material has speeds in excess of 10 m/s, and should spread over many Earth-radii in only a year or two. The debris predicted from these models was not propagated along the sample orbits, but it is likely that the fraction of the ejecta that remains on a threatening orbit years later is no more than 10−4. As with the standoff simulations, future modeling of a more dissipative surface with very high porosity is likely to result in lower ΔV and less ejecta.
Delivering a nuclear explosive to the depth used in the simulation would be achievable with present earth-penetration technology, but it would require an approach speed equivalent to that of a rendezvous mission. Flyby speeds could be used with a fuse that fires on contact with the target and with a slightly higher-yield explosive than for rendezvous. The necessary calculations for this approach are straightforward, but current fuses would have to be upgraded to operate at the higher speeds.
Nuclear explosives can provide considerable protection against a potential NEO impact. This may be the only current means to prevent an impact by a large hazardous object (>500 meters in diameter) with a warning time under a decade or by a larger object (>1 kilometer in diameter) object with a warning time of several decades. With decades of warning for such large objects, the preferred approach uses a standoff detonation. Neutron output has certain advantages (Dearborn, 2004), as the energy coupling is relatively insensitive to the surface composition and density of the NEO. The simulations show that speed changes (ΔV) on the order of 2 cm/s are achievable with

(Optional soundtrack to this blog post...)
You and I and all the rest of us are such suckers.
Someone looking very much like me, and wearing my socks, pointed out long ago that there was as much of a chance of those "sequestration" defense cuts ever happening as there was of Lindsay Graham beating those whopping big Iranians in a weightlifting competition. (Iran is a weightlifting powerhouse? Who knew? John Bolton better watch his mustache.) The Defense lobby and its various pet rocks in the Congress hi, Huckleberry, Weepin' Joe, and Grandpa John! already have begun the job of disappearing those cuts behind the smokescreen of a grand bipartisan bargain that is positively going to have all of the Very Serious People slapping high-fives and buying each other ice-cold flagons of faceless human misery that never will touch them or their families.
We've all been played. To wit...
"Compromise will be necessary to avoid sequestration," NAGC's VP for communications Simon Brody said in a statement to TPM. "Considering whether to increase revenues or make funding cuts will require careful consideration by legislators, but examining all alternatives is certainly preferable to letting sweeping automatic cuts take effect." That's a real break with the prevailing GOP insistence that higher taxes must not be part of any plan to avoid the sequester. And it's the rift Rep. Andrews was hoping to expose in his line of questioning. "I was very pleased with that answer," Andrews told TPM in a hallway interview Thursday. "I think the defense leaders have been really public spirited and open-minded about this, and I think they're acting very responsibly and I trust and hope that they will speak favorably about a balanced approach that includes revenue and spending cuts that neither side wants but that will avoid the sequester and reduce the deficit."
Now here's the hook:
"I do think you're going to see a coalition of responsible people emerge unfortunately it's going to be in the lame duck, not prior that's going to support entitlement support that Democrats don't want, revenue increases that Republicans don't want, but deficit reduction that everybody wants, without mindless, across the board cuts in programs." Early indications support that view. A group of Republicans led by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have proposed staving off or eliminating the sequester with a package that could include revenue from higher service fees and tax loophole closures, but not from rate increases.
Those entitlement "reforms" will be oh-so very real. Also, your mortgage-interest deduction? Gone. Health-care deduction? Gone. Rate hikes on the one percent as more of the country's wealth disappears up into the high, thin clouds? Actual, substantial Defense cuts? Don't be stupid, rube. And it is very likely this lemon will be passed in a lame-duck session of Congress by at least a few people who have nothing to lose any more, and who will never face a voter ever again. I yield the balance of my time to the gentleman, Mr. Lonegan of New York.
Ye're not only a cheat, ye're a gutless cheat as well.

CD Rates and Treasury Yields Stable This Week: Best 1 Year CD Rates at 1.05% APY, 12 Month Treasury Yields at 0.12%
There were no changes for the best CD rates available on our 1 year CD rate table this week though average CD rates did increase. The best CD rates available on our rate table remain at 1.04 percent with an APY of 1.05 percent and average 12 month CD rates increased from 0.60 percent to 0.68 percent.
The bank offering at 12 month rate of 1.04 percent with an APY of 1.05 percent is GE Capital Retail Bank. A rate just above 1.00 percent might not seem that great when compared to rates a few years ago but you'll be hard pressed to find a better rate. With current 12 month U.S. Treasury yields much lower at 0.12 percent you really don't have much of an option to earn a better rate without risking your principal.
Going out longer term on your fixed asset investments won't earn you a much higher rate. The highest CD rates on 2 year certificates of deposit this week are at 1.19 percent with an APY of 1.20 percent. The bank offering that 2 year CD rate and CD yield on our table this week is CIT Bank. Average 2 year CD rates are also higher this week at 0.87 percent, up from last week's average rate of 0.82 percent.
Think you'll do better investing in 2 year U.S. Treasuries? Don't count on it, 2 year Treasury yields are much lower at 0.24 percent, about one fifth the highest 2 year CD rates. If you want to get a higher yield on U.S. bonds you have invest in a 10 year bond to earn a higher rate. Current 10 year bond yields are at 1.72 percent.

Will A Gwyneth Paltrow Bod Really Cost a Fortune?
While many would kill to look like Gwyneth Paltrow, recent reports say that membership prices to a gym the actress is opening with trainer Tracy Anderson are murder.
Two weeks ago, the New York Post's Page Six reported the venture (opening in NYC) was struggling to gain clients because of outrageous prices.
"Membership is like $4,500 to join and then hundreds of dollars a month. Who can afford that right now?" the paper quote a source.
Julia Cuddihy Van Nice, Anderson's rep, tells Celebuzz the claims are false.
"Tracy has had a fantastically positive response to her gym and the membership dues the Post quoted were completely inaccurate," Van Nice said in an email.
Perhaps Anderson, who has trained the likes of Gwyneth and pal Madonna for years, isn't looking to charge a fortune after all—she's even been know to give away her routines for free.
In Paltrow's controversial lifestyle newsletter GOOP, she often reveals tips from Anderson, and once even gave subscribers a video routine to download for free.
Even this Thursday, the newsletter will feature another dance cardio routine from the trainer.
In February, the New York Times claimed membership for the ladies' pet project would clock in at $787.50 for six months or $1,500 for a one-year-term.
Van Nice would not disclose actual gym prices to Celebuzz.

You Can Pick Stocks in a Recession
This column was originally published on RealMoney on March 21 at 11:45 a.m. EST. It's being republished as a bonus for TheStreet.com readers.
No matter how dire it is, there's always hope -- and this is particularly true of the stock market. But it takes the right approach. Even if the economy is in a recession, stock-pickers can succeed. You just have to know what to look for.
If you are raising a family, thinking about paying for a college education or two, putting money in the stock market or considering buying a house, you can't help but be worried about the signs of an impending recession. Many economists are saying the U.S. is sitting on an economic house of cards, ready to collapse at any moment. Among the clearer signals of a recession, they say, are:
OK, those are the worst-case scenarios of the impending recession of 2006 (now postponed until 2007, most economists believe). My feeling is so what? Right now, the economy as expressed by the gross domestic product has been growing by 3% to 4% a year, with some quarters missing or beating that range. For the first quarter of 2006, economists believe we'll clock in a 4% to 5% annualized rate. Last quarter, it was about 1% to 1.4%, depending on the next revision.
The inverted yield curve. The past 10 out of 11 recessions (or some other random statistic like this, I forget the exact number) have occurred after an inverted yield curve. I can go through the arguments of why this statistic might be meaningless and why the inverted yield curve might be different this time, but suffice to say, in the privacy of my office, with only tears to comfort me, I'm as scared as the next guy. A bunch of deficits. The current account deficit, the trade deficit, the savings deficit. We seem, as a culture and a government, to be deficient in every way according to the economists, starting with Stephen Roach at Morgan Stanley and ending with Warren Buffett -- two guys I respect immensely (although I'll note that Roach was saying the same thing in October 2002 and Buffett was bearish in 1981). Buffett's partner, Charlie Munger, in the 2003 Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, went so far as to say, "You better start burying your valuables in your backyard before the government seizes them," before Buffett quieted him down. ARMs. Some time in the next one to 50 months, 10 hundred million adjustable-rate mortgages are going to be "readjusted," and everyone who was previously paying $50 a month is now going to have to start paying $10,000 a month. Or something like that. The housing bubble will burst, consumer spending will collapse and Wal-Mart will go out of business.
Huge, double-digit, if not triple-digit, growth. For instance, if a chain of stores is on the East Coast, experiencing solid same-store sales growth and starting to build stores on the West Coast, this is growth that will far exceed the GDP, regardless of whether the economy is growing or declining by 1%. Undervaluation, based on assets on the balance sheet and stable cash flows. Even if one of these companies has cash flows that decline, the strength of the balance sheet alone should make it shine in a recessionary period. For instance, if a company is in a declining business but has 40% of its market cap in cash and has a fairly consistent earnings yield of 15% with millions of customers, then I'm comfortable owning that in a recession. An example that comes to mind is EarthLink (ELNK). Economy independence. For instance, I've
written beforeabout debt-collection companies. These companies tend to flourish in both a growing economy and a declining economy. Also, a company like Medallion Financial (TAXI), which lends on taxi medallions, tends to be economy-independent. When more people are unemployed, there's higher demand for the medallions from an enlarged pool of would-be cab drivers.

Polly Plummer and her next-door neighbour, Digory, are exploring one wet afternoon when the accidental discovery of some magic rings sends them off on the most exciting and dangerous journey of their lives. They fall through magic pools to the ruined city of Charn where Digory awakens the terrifying figure of Jadis, the last Queen. But with true evil comes true goodness as the children discover when they come face to face with the mighty lion Aslan.

"simply gorgeous"
I would certainly recommend this book, to any story loving person (be they child or grown-up). The story is compelling, the overall performance is delightful. The narrator (old man's voice) sometimes slurs a little (in words like 'ages'), the children's voices are clear and their performance is convincing. Very like all Narnia-audibles.
"still good more than 10 years later"
A Great audio book for children (and adults!!) i had this as a child on cassette, and bought it again as a 21 year old. As with all radio 4 productions the dramatisation is faultless. In my opinion this is a great first audio book, as well as the best first C.S Lewis. the storyline is fantastic, brilliant dialogue too.

Hello, does anyone know how to silently install VNC, because it makes it alot easier when doing it to 200 computers+
Printable View
Hello, does anyone know how to silently install VNC, because it makes it alot easier when doing it to 200 computers+
have you tried "SKEEP VNC"?
this works well and also hides the icon in the corner
Try running the application as follows: C:\randomfilename.exe /?
Use theswitch.Code:
Gen Control
Internet Archive: Free Download: Gencontrol
or you can make a winINSTALL msi. Just take a snapshot before, install/configure, take a snapshot after. Deploy by GPO. job done.
how would I go about doing that?
Cant find the proper website but there used to be c++ source code and explanation of how it did it etc
It's been a while since I did this but here goes...
Download wininstall LE (free!) from this address - Support Home
Install it and it will create a share on the computer you install it on. Something like "\\HOST\wininstall".
Find a clean machine. A freshly imaged one or a VM thats as close to your curriculum machines as possible is good. Navigate to the share "\\hostname\wininstall" and run the discover.exe (I think it's in the "bin" folder).
Follow the instructions (It's a next, next, next with minimal common sense involved), and a before snapshot it taken. Install the software. and run discover.exe again. The program will now create the msi which will be saved where you told it to, when creating the before snapshot (most likely "\\hostname\wininstall\packages\softarename").
Copy the ENTIRE folder up to where you install your MSI's from. Then treat the MSI in there like you would any other (assign it in GPO and deploy).

Yes, its a bunch of commercialistic consumerist, hey you have to be in a couple to enjoy it type BS.
Not as much as I did when I was in my twenties during those years when I was single. Feeling like the only one who didn't have a sweetheart was rotten. It's not as bad now that I've gotten used to it....maybe I'm just not as sentimental as I used to be. Now I get my jollies sending Valentines treats to my son's class. ;)
no one gets me candy, i don't want the flowers just some chocolate...
i loathe it. i'd never get serious with a girl who took it seriously
this year yes
Yes...I do now. It's the anniversary of a nightmare.
yeah cuz ik my bf wont give a **** about it. he didnt care about our anniversary or my birthday so y wud this be any different?
No I'm just apathetic about it o.O
NO!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course not!!!!!

Here is the official forum for CPU-Z (www.cpuid.com).
I'm suprised there isn't a thread on this, but all I ask is you post what type of CPU and what socket type for your system.

The already existing posts can be found here :

Hiya. I googled this and found one answer on this forum that was reassuring, but I'd still like if I could get a few others to let me know this is okay.
I validated my system, and on the validation result page, everything is fine, except that the CPU Frequency MHz value is in bold red.
On the other forum post a member named Rocca replied that this is normal and that it's bold because the CPU is in idle and not charging. Rocca also said you can test with logiciel OCCT. I assume this means...

Ive been playing around with some overclocking, and was having trouble getting a stable OC. It would pass P95 n an 8 hour burn but would BSOD occasionally when playing Planetside 2.
Finally, I think I got a stable OC. Made it to the 4ghz plateau and OC'd my RAM from 1333 to 1600mhz. No BSODS, but I havent run a long term P95 test. I have done a max temp test which landed at 52c, but that was only occasional spikes. It liked to hover around 49c.

In CPU-Z slot 1 and 2 reads my Max Bandwidth as one thing but 3 and 4 as something else.
Where exactly does that info come from and why is it reading it differently?
Now I did read the Sticky on Please Read and saw that FAQ 1 mentions the Cool'N'Quiet can cause it CPU-Z to report different clock specification or clock speed.

CPUz Interface window is improperly sized. See image attached. I thought I might be able to correct the issue by reverting my desktop DPI to the default small vs the 115% I normally use with my 2560x1440 monitor but that had no effect. Then I thought I might be able to edit the config file but as you can see in the image there are three instances of CPU-Z running a standard edition with no issues and a ROG & OC versions the latter two which exhibit the behavior I'd like to see corrected. ...

Another great one from Branden Town – a video for Friday Man. For a guy who's often put out records and then not really told anybody, it's great to see Pye promoting this one over the course of a year. I have a hunch its new musical partner Tessa pushing this – wonder if I'm right? check it out, and if you get a chance to see YJA play live (so far only in Quebec and Nova Scotia), do. Can't wait for a visit to TO.

Crowns of Silla
The crowns of Silla were made in the Korean kingdom of Silla approximately in the 5th-7th centuries of the Common Era.
These crowns were excavated in Gyeongju, the former capital of Silla, and are designated National treasures of South Korea.
The Silla crowns are very fragile and weigh more than one kilogram. The Silla kings probably did not wear the golden crowns like hats. They were probably used only for formal and ceremonial occasions.
The Silla crowns are some of the most spectacular treasures uncovered in the tumuli of Gyeongju, South Korea, the capital of Silla and Unified Silla. Silla tumuli, unlike their Baekje and Goguryeo counterparts were made inaccessible because the tombs did not include passageways and corridors. Instead, deep pits were dug and lined with wood and this is where the treasures and coffin were placed. These burial pit were covered in dirt and sealed with clay and then the surface was covered with massive river boulders which was then covered with a massive mound of dirt. The heavy boulders also served to push the tombs deeper into the ground, thus making them even more inaccessible. The Silla burial mechanism made it so that grave robbers and foreign invaders could never steal their precious contents. The best of the crowns are made of pure gold and were probably reserved for kings. However, other crowns have been discovered made from gilt-bronze or gold-plated bronze, probably for princes or lesser kings. Some of the finest crowns have been excavated from the 5th century Gold Crown Tomb, and the 6th century Gold Bell Tomb and Heavenly Horse Tomb.[1] The adoption of Buddhism by the Silla kings in 528 A.D. led to the eventual decline of the practice of burying gold artifacts in tombs and by the end of the sixth century the practice had stopped.[1]
Symbolism of the crown[edit]
The styling of the outer part of the crowns suggests a Korean connection with the Scytho-Siberians (Saka) and the people of the Eurasian steppe. The crowns are a uniquely Korean product and show no Chinese influence. The Silla crown is also notably distinct from the crown of Baekje, the crown of Gaya, and the crown of Goguryeo kingdoms. The tree motif of the crown is commonly believed to represent the idea of the world tree which was an important tenet of Siberian shamanism.[1] However, some believe that the trident-like protrusions symbolize mountains or even birds. Additionally, the antler-like prongs also indicate a strong connection to Korean Shamanism or the importance of the reindeer. A crown in Afghanistan (see image) bears a strong resemblance to the other Korean crowns which is also evidence of a Scytho-Siberian connection. Additionally, the sophisticated metalworking of the crowns show that Silla gold smiths held an advanced knowledge of working with gold. Some have even theorized that these advanced goldworking techniques, such as granulation and filigree, came from the Greek or the Etruscan people, especially because Silla tumuli also contain beads and glassware which came from as far away as the Mediterranean Sea.[2]
The delicate nature of the gold crowns comes from the fact they were made from cutting thin sheet gold. The crown is impractical to wear and some believe that the crown may have been made specifically as a burial good.[1] The use of gogok, or comma-shaped curved jewels also point to a Siberian influence and the importance of the bear cult. There may also be a connection with ancient Japan because the gogok were used extensively by the ruling elite of that society as well. These comma-shaped jewels of jade and glass may have symbolized the fruits and the bounty of trees. The use of many tiny gold mirrors dangling from the crown has led some to hypothesize that the crown, worn in sunlight, would be a dazzling spectacle reinforcing the tradition role of the Silla king as the symbolic representation of the sun on earth.
The crowns come in two major parts. The inner part is a golden cap, which may have been covered in silk. This cap would sit within the band of the outer crown. There is a third part of the crown, namely the chains of gold with attached jade that may have been attached to the outer band. However, there is significant controversy over how the crown was supposed to be worn. Some believe that the three total parts were supposed to be worn together in one crown. However, the fact that the three parts of the crown have been found in three distinct areas of certain tombs, such as the Heavenly Horse Tomb suggests that the three objects are, in fact, three different types of crowns for different occasions.
National Treasures of Korea[edit]
South Korea has officially designated some Silla crowns as national treasures (Hangul: 국보; RR: gukbo), others as treasures (Hangul: 보물; RR: bomul).
National Treasure No. 87[edit]
The Gold Crown from Geumgwanchong (Hangul: 금관총 금관; hanja: 金冠塚金冠; RR: Geumgwanchong geumgwan; MR: Kŭmgwanch'ong kŭmgwan) is the largest golden crown discovered. The Gold Crown Tomb (Geumgwanchong) was named after this treasure. It was designated as a national treasure on December 12, 1962.
The crown is 44 centimeters in height and has a diameter of 19 centimeters. It is the largest golden crown from Silla discovered thus far.[3]
There are two parts to this crown. The outer band was discovered within the tomb while the inner cap was found outside of the tomb. The outer band consists of three tree-like branches which have three branches each. The Chinese character 出 chul is written three times on the hand band. Additionally, the outer head band also has two antler-like protrusions on the left and right side. All of the protrusions have jade and glass beads and tiny golden mirrors that dangle from the branches. On the sides of the headband also are two chains of gold with leaf-like decorations that end with jade jewels. These two chains hang below the head band.
The inner crown is a triangle-shaped hat made of thin sheet gold and has two wing-like decorations on it. The wings are believed to relate to Korean shamanistic beliefs.
The crown is currently housed in the Gyeongju National Museum and is a masterpiece of Korean art.
National Treasure No. 188[edit]
The Gold Crown from Cheonmachong (Hangul: 천마총 금관; hanja: 天馬塚金冠; RR: Cheonmachong geumgwan; MR: Ch'ŏnmach'ong kŭmgwan) is currently housed in Gyeongju National Museum. The crown was designated as the 188th National Treasure of Korea on December 7, 1978. The crown was found in Cheonmachong (Tomb No. 155, also known as The Heavenly Horse Tomb) in 1973 and is believed to be the crown of King Soji or King Jijeung.
The crown is 32.5 centimeters in height.
There are three prongs forming the Chinese character 山 "mountain" on the front of the crown. There are also two prongs in the shape of a deer antler on the back. This crown also has two dangling chains of gold in the shape of leaves hanging from the end of the headband. Notably, the tree-like prongs of this crown have four branches instead of the more common used three branch motif. There is still controversy of how this crown was to be worn because of where it was found in the tomb in relation to the coffin.
National Treasure No. 191[edit]
The Gold crown with pendants (Hangul: 금관 및 수하식〈98호 북분〉; hanja: 金冠및垂下飾〈98號北墳〉; RR: geumgwan mit suhasik (98[= gusippal]ho bukbun); MR: kŭmgwan mit suhasik (98[= kusipp'ar]ho pukpun)) from the north mound of Tumulus No. 98 (Hwangnamdaecheong) is currently housed in the National Museum of Korea and is one of the most popular exhibits there, along with the Bangasayusang. It is a National Treasure of Korea and was named as one on December 12, 1978. The height of the crown is 27.5 centimeters and the gold chains and pendants that dangle from the crown, known as Suhasik are 13 to 30.3 centimeters in length. The crown is known for its abundant use of jade. The Suhasik are grouped into two groups of three and are arranged with the longest chains on the outer edge to the smallest chains closest to the front of the crown. The Suhasik also hold blue jade and golden leaves on the end of the chains. There is still a controversy of whether the Suhasik are actually a part of the crown, namely because the Suhasik were found separate from the crown when excavated. The crown has three tree-like prongs with three branches each and also has two antler-like prongs on the left and right side of the main band. The tree-like prongs of the crown have been interpreted by some scholars as the Chinese character for "mountain". Decorations of a deer antler are attached to the ends of the crown. 77 pieces of jade were adorned on the crown. Sixteen pieces of comma-shaped blue jade were attached to the Chinese characters, nine pieces of jade on the deer antler, and eleven pieces on the head girdle. This crown is particularly noted for its abundant use of jade.
This crown may have been made for a queen and there is a significant controversy about who was buried in the tomb.
Treasure No. 338[edit]
This crown, known as Gold crown from Geumnyeongchong Tumulus (Hangul: 금령총 금관; hanja: 金鈴塚金冠; RR: Geumnyeongchong geumgwan; MR: Kŭmnyŏngch'ong kŭmgwan), is currently housed at the National Museum of Korea. At 27 centimeters in heights and 15 centimeters in diameter, it is the smallest Silla crown discovered thus far, and the simplest. Like a typical Silla crown, it has five main prongs. The tree-like prongs, shaped like the Chinese character 出 chul, which means "going out", are placed on the front and sides of the headband. The tree-like prongs have four branches each. There are two antler-like prongs which flank the two side tree-like prongs. Additionally, there are birds on top of each branch. On the upper and lower part of the surface are two-lined spot patterns made with a stamping technique. Hanging ornaments hang at the right and left side of the crown frame.
This crown has the distinction of being the only gold crown made solely of gold without any jade accoutrements.
Treasure No. 339[edit]
The Gold crown from Seobongchong Tumulus (Hangul: 서봉총 금관; hanja: 瑞鳳塚金冠; RR: Seobongchong geumgwan; MR: Sŏbongch'ong kŭmgwan) is a gold crown of Silla origin that is now housed at the Gyeongju National Museum.
The crown is 24.7 centimeters in height, 18.4 centimeters in diameter, and 30.7 high when the ornaments hanging from the headband. There are five branches standing on the broad crown frame which is stamped with a wave pattern and stamped in a form of a dotted line. The headband is decorated with leaf-shapes and bent jade.
The right and left most branches, along with the middle branches of the five branches, are composed of the Chinese character 出 in three prongs. The tips of the branches are decorated with a budding flower ornament.
Two crossing gold belts having the tip on the each 4 dividing points of the crown frame, construct the inside framework. At the both sides of the crown frame, styled-earrings are dangling from the headband.
Treasure No. 631[edit]
The Silver crown (Hangul: 은관〈98호 남분〉; hanja: 銀冠〈98號南墳〉; RR: eun(-)gwan (98[= gusippal]ho nambun); MR: ŭn'kwan (98[= kusippar]ho nambun)) from the south mound of Tumulus No. 98, is a silver crown and was found near the head of the body in the coffin of the tomb. The crown is currently housed in Gyeongju National Museum. The measurements of the crown are: 17.2 centimeters in height, 16.6 centimeters in diameter, the width of the headband is 3.2 centimeters. The crown has three prongs but they are unique to any other kind of Silla crown discovered thus far. The center prong is thick and shaped like a shield or a perhaps a shape bent like a bow with a high middle section. There is a silver plate attached to this prong. On either side of the center prong is a crescent-shaped prong. The outer side of these crescent-shaped prongs are cut and twisted to make feather-like protrusions which are unique to Silla art. However, there is an analogous example of this feather-like embellishment from a crown of Gaya providence found at the Uiseongtamni Tumulus. The Eungwan crown was uncovered in Tumuli Park of Michu Royal Tomb in Gyeongju. The mound is connected from the north and south and so has the shape of a gourd. With a diameter of 80 meters from east to west and 120 meters from north to south, it is the largest mound of Silla. The south mound is 23 meters in height, the north mound, which is were National Treasure No. 191 was uncovered, is 22 meters in height.

Okay, listen. I have an above-average vocabulary, and, dare I say it, a thirst for using that vocabulary to communicate my less than mundane experiences.
So, why was it that today, when trying to describe Stone Arrogant Bastard to my wife, that my words failed me? I felt like Alice explaining her adventures to her sister, or Adam describing the loveliness of Eve.
The words were simply not there.
However, I pledge to myself that I will drink Stone brews until the wall of unreachable words tumbles, and the florid description flows from my tongue like water to parched lips. Oh, I will find the resolve to describe my love for Stone.
Mark. My. Words.
I also heart Stone, The only Stone brew that I didn't care for was the Smoked Porter which is odd because I usually love porters, I must have either gotten a bad bottle or should have let it age.
So far I have had:
Arrogant Bastard
Double Bastard
Vertical Epic 07
Old Guardian
Smoked Porter
and all but the porter have been Fantastic.
I've had:
Arrogant Bastard
Oaked Arrogant Bastard
Cali-Belgique IPA
Unlike you, I do have the words to describe the awesomeness of these brews. I'm not telling you what they are though. You have to figure it out for yourself!
How come when I say the title of this I knew that it was going to be you started it.
Ill add to this by saying that i've had:
Pale Ale
Arrogant bastard
and I have a bottle of ruination that I haven't tried yet.
Sweet mother mary, I'm still remembering that beer. It was transcendent!
I'm drinking a smoked porter right now....
If water tasted like this, I'd never drink anything else
Courage les garçons, et patience, vos femmes vont finir par apprécier la bière !
I love Stone Brewery. I cannot explain why, possibly the strong flavors but not over powering flavors. Maybe the high ABV. Maybe the cool logos. I just don't know.
Thanks, I feel better for getting that off my chest.
mmmmmmmmmmm Beer.
Myself and a couple buddies are planning to go there for the anniversary party in August.
Anyone else thinking about it?
Hey, knock that shvt off. We're drinkin' here.
the smoked porter is best on tap. it's smoother than the bottled version.
Beer is the answer.....I just forgot what the question was.
I don't know, why are they so good? I'll have to head up to the brewery this weekend and ask them! (and grab a few beers when I'm at it)

Dubai United Arab Emirates
Softly molded in reinforced concrete into a form that suggests the skeleton of a whale from the nearby Arabian Gulf, the 41-meter-wide, 210-meter-long Dubai Bridge rises to an apex of 14.5 meters above a canal and its twin pedestrian promenades. The structure is V-shaped in section, with five meters of structural depth in the central spine of the bridge supporting six vehicular lanes and tapering out to cantilevered pedestrian walkways on either side. The vehicular lanes and pedways are separated by an interstitial zone of 10-meter structural bays that resemble the vertebrae of a whale's spine. Unlike other signature bridges, Dubai Bridge makes its strongest architectural statements to the pedestrians, cars and boats passing beneath it. Looking up at the structural bays, these viewers will be able to watch the play of light and shadow on the pristine white inner walls of the larger bays. The ever-changing shadows created by the sun shining through the geometric pattern of the steel mesh grating, inspired by Middle Eastern Mashrabiya latticework, are made even more dynamic by passing cars. The result will be an intimate, captivating relationship between the bridge and viewers from below.

Employee skill assessments lack links to national validation systems
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Cedefop report finds that to best serve individuals, validation of non-formal and informal learning must take experience of companies into account.
Most of the European debate on validating non-formal and informal learning focuses on how such mechanisms are organised within national education and training systems. Meanwhile, many companies systematically assess employees' competence and skills, mainly for purposes of recruitment and to formulate personnel management and training strategies. A new Cedefop study, now out in print, has found that most such in-company assessments are not linked to national validation schemes.
As a result, while they are of undoubted value within the company, those undergoing such assessments may not find them useful when seeking alternative employment or further learning. Companies also do not focus equally on all staff: competence assessments mostly involve executives and technical specialists. Moreover, company size considerably influences the way this exercise is carried out, or indeed whether it is carried out at all.
Based on a survey of 400 enterprises, 20 in-depth case studies of companies* and interviews with human resource experts in 10 countries, the report, Use of validation by enterprises for human resource and career development purposes, analyses the reasons why competence assessments take place, the standards and methods applied, the employee groups targeted and the way results are documented and used.
Cedefop has been actively involved in validation since the mid-1990s and has been instrumental in transforming what was once a topic of interest to a few experts into a core issue of European and national lifelong learning policies.

The sexual impulse is exactly that: spontaneous, reactive, ever-present and a source of great comfort, excitement and motivation for many. Why then do so many people lose steam or avoid sex where it matters? While we generally attribute this to the aging body or boredom, when we take a closer look at the psychology and brain dynamics behind the phenomenon, several new hypotheses emerge. Consider the following:
1. Fear of repeated loss of performance: Many men often are fine with sex until that first fateful day when they are unable to perform in bed despite their best intentions. This sudden "failure" as it is experienced becomes a shock to the brain and a stigma of such shame that many men will dread subsequent sexual interactions. (Women feel this too but it is often easier to hide.) Their partners, especially if this is a long-term relationship, may worry initially but then ignore this. This avoidance of sex than becomes a ritual and the couple then settles into other activities. When fear is this powerful, it can become conditioned in the brain and the dread of sex is best dealt with by addressing it immediately rather than avoiding the fear of this repeating. Often tiredness, too much alcohol, distraction and worry can all contribute to this lack of performance.

Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- A former Chinese mayor was sentenced to 11 years in jail after being convicted of insider trading, disclosing private information and taking bribes, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
Li Qihong, former mayor of the southern city of Zhongshan, was also fined 20 million yuan ($3.1 million) and had 100,000 yuan of assets confiscated, Xinhua reported.
The case is part of a government push to clamp down on insider trading by Chinese officials who use their knowledge of business dealings by companies in their regions for financial gain. A central bank researcher was sentenced to six years in prison and a former secretary at the statistics bureau sentenced to five years this week for leaking classified economic data.
"You can imagine how many officials took advantage of it," said Zhang Min'an, a law professor in Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou, in a phone interview. "What has been exposed must be the tip of an iceberg."
Also today, China asked listed companies to maintain a list of people who have insider information as part of rules to prevent insider trading, the China Securities Regulatory Commission said in a statement on its website.
The list may include shareholders, securities companies, law firms and other intermediaries, acquiring companies and counterparties of major transactions, the statement said.
