A fancy pink touch pen, really simple. Can be a good replacement to a lost or broken stylus if the original is too expensive. The cap become loose after a few days of use.

This is a cute, small stylus that works well at first. Everyone who saw it thought it was a lip gloss tube. It wears out quickly. I had this stylus for 2 months before I lost the stylus part, but the cap was still attached to my phone via the strap. After about a week, the grip inside the cap waers down ... Read more

Camay is the name of a scented hand and body soap, made by Procter & Gamble. It was first introduced in 1926 and marketed as a "white, pure soap for women," as many soaps of the time were colored to mask impurities. Camay's slogan for many years was "Camay: the soap for beautiful women." It was later replaced with "For your most beautiful complexion at every age."
Media sponsorship[edit]
For many years, Camay was a major sponsor of the soap operas As The World Turns and Search for Tomorrow.
Camay started gaining popularity in Eastern Europe with 12 new scents being introduced starting from 2004.[citation needed]
A Hungarian online campaign called The Code of Seduction (in Hungarian: A Csábitás Kódja) invites people to fill out a test which tells them which scent will fit their personality and mood the best.
In the 1970s, its television spokesmodel was Princess Luciana Pignatelli, an Italian socialite, writer, and cosmetics executive.

The only reason I could think of for including this utterly gratuitous touch would be to get a few bars of Strauss' Die Fledermaus (The Bat) into the film. But, no. Our hero listens, instead, to Donizetti. This is a pretty good example of the level of wit and ingenuity with which Bats was wrought.
Bats is basically just like Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. There are only two major differences: First, The Birds was about birds while Bats is about bats; and second, The Birds was a flawed but brilliant work by one of the geniuses of the cinema, while Bats is a work of hilarious, nearly Ed Wood-worthy ineptitude, offering not so much as one single scare -- not even a cheap scare or gross-out -- and inspiring nothing more than giggles and occasional sympathy for the actors.
Once associated with vampirism, disease and evil, bats have had their image rehabilitated in the popular mind in recent years. Through such children's books as Stellaluna and in nature documentaries, people have been made aware that bats are a huge, diverse order of mammals, extremely important to many ecosystems as pollinators and controllers of insect populations, overrated as disease vectors, and almost never harmful to humans. The makers of Bats, at pains to avoid being accused of zoological incorrectness, make it clear that their bats are deadly as a result of genetic meddling by humans, but they needn't have worried -- no one would ever mistake the rather endearing little sourpuss puppets that represent the bats in this movie for any creature that occurs in nature.
Shut in that schoolhouse with Sheriff Lou are a pretty chiropterologist (bat scientist, that is) played by Dina Meyer, her wisecracking assistant (Leon), and the creepy scientist (Bob Gunton) who's responsible for the deadly bats. It's hard to know who to feel sorriest for.
Maybe Leon, the handsome actor to whom Madonna sang "Like a Prayer," and who later starred in Cool Runnings. There's no reason he couldn't play an action hero himself, but here he's left standing around making jokes outside while the heroine plumbs bat-infested caves and mines; the character so pointedly keeps himself out of harm's way that after a while you may begin to wonder when he'll start saying, "C'mon up outta dat mine, missy. I'm 'feared o' dem bats."
On the other hand, Meyer, the lovely actress from Starship Troopers and Johnny Mnemonic, doesn't fare much better. The closest she gets to a seductive romantic line is, "Very good, Sheriff. We'll make a chiropterologist out of you yet."
Maybe the choicest line in the picture, however, goes to Phillips. After the sheriff falls into a deep pool of guano, it's probably the actor as much as the character who exclaims, "Don't tell me I'm up to my chest in bat shit!" Afraid so, Lou.

Definitely could of been better, I wasn't expecting anything too great but don't get me wrong, it was very entertaining and a fun movie to watch. Some pretty kool scenes and good action. I thought that it could of been longer and the ending should have been more satisfying.

Five Dials is a really cool online PDF free magazine published by Hamish Hamilton and edited by Craig Taylor. I've mentioned this magazine a few times in the past—it's consistently interesting—but thought that Three Percent readers would be especially interested in this new issue, which consists of only one piece: Javier Marias's "Hating The Leopard."
There isn't much in this issue of Five Dials. Sometimes – as long-time readers know – we give over an entire issue to a single writer. The bar is high. Last time we relinquished control, the issue was placed in the capable hands of Orhan Pamuk. This issue features a single essay by one of our favourite writers, Javier Marías, whose latest novel, The Infatuations, is currently being translated by the incomparable Margaret Jull Costa. [. . .]
At some point, years ago, Marías read The Leopard and, unlike some of us who
simply wandered down streets in Camden, he wrote an essay on the particular genius of the novel, and the way the book seems heavier than most, weighted with the wisdom of an entire life. I envy any of you Five Dials readers who know nothing of Marías or Lampedusa. From this humble starting point, your journey will hopefully include the following stops on its itinerary: a page from now you'll get to the Marías essay, which will inevitably lead you towards The Leopard (as well as Marías's own work), and perhaps The Leopard will lead you to your own dark streets, standing in front of a row of houses, wearing a too-thin coat, feeling the weight of its lessons, aware that it is so much more than a story of crumbling Sicilian aristocracy.
And from the opening of the essay:
There is no such thing as the indispensable book or author, and the world would be exactly the same if Kafka, Proust, Faulkner, Mann, Nabokov and Borges had never existed. It might not be quite the same if none of them had existed, but the non-existence of just one of them would certainly not have affected the whole. That is why it is so tempting – an easy temptation if you like – to think that the representative twentieth-century novel must be the one that very nearly didn't exist, the one that nobody would have missed (Kafka, after all, did not leave just the one work, and as soon as it was known that there were others, as well as Metamorphosis, any reader was then at liberty to desire or even yearn to read them), the one novel that, in its day, was seen by many almost as an excrescence or an intrusion, as antiquated and completely out of step with the predominant 'trends', both in its country of origin, Italy, and in the rest of the world. A superfluous work, anachronistic, one that neither 'added to' nor 'moved things on', as if the history of literature were something that progressed and was, in that respect, akin to science, whose discoveries are left behind or eliminated as they are overtaken or revealed to be incomplete, inadequate or inexact. But literature functions in quite the opposite way: nothing that one adds to it erases or cancels out what came before; rather, new books sit alongside earlier books and they coexist. Old and new texts breathe in unison, so much so that one wonders sometimes if everything that has ever been written is not simply the same drop of water falling on the same stone, and if, perhaps, the only thing that really changes is the language of each age. The older work still has to 'breathe', despite the time that has elapsed since its creation or appearance; and some works – the majority – are erased or cancelled out, but this happens of its own accord, not because something else comes along to take their place or to supplant or eject them; rather, they languish and die because of their own lack of spirit or – more precisely – because they aspired to being 'modern' or 'original', an aspiration that leads inevitably to an early senescence or, as others might say, they become 'dated'. 'It's very much of its time,' we tell ourselves when we read these books in a different, later age, because, given the unstoppable and ever-accelerating speed with which the world moves, 'in a different age' can sometimes mean a mere decade later. This is the case even with stories written by some of the great modern authors, such as Kafka, Faulkner, Borges on occasions and Joyce almost always. They can sometimes seem slightly old-fashioned or, if you prefer, dated, precisely because they were so innovative, bold, confident, original and ambitious.
The same cannot be said of Isak Dinesen or of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa's The Leopard. The latter is not in any way an old-fashioned nineteenth-century novel as some critics said at the time, misled perhaps by the century in which the action takes place. It is, without a doubt, a contemporary novel of the kind written by the authors mentioned above, and its author was fully aware of the new techniques and 'advances' in the genre, if you can call them that, and was even modest enough to abandon one possibility – that of describing a single day in the life of Prince Fabrizio di Salina – saying: 'I don't know how to do a _Ulysses._' But he did know, for example, how to make masterly use of ellipsis, telling a story in fragmentary fashion, unemphatically, even withholding information and leaving unexplained what the reader need only glimpse or intuit, setting up illuminating connections between disparate and apparently secondary or merely anecdotal elements, adroitly bringing together what the characters say and do with what they think (all of which is much more common in the twentieth-century novel than in the novel of the nineteenth century), and, above all, he observes, reflects, suggests and qualifies.
Check it all out here.

A search for γ‐ray transitions in which contains only one neutron outside the core, was carried out at the Argonne Tandem‐Linac Accelerator System. nuclei were produced using the reaction. In‐beam γ rays were detected in the Gammasphere Ge‐detector array and were correlated with β‐delayed protons using the Recoil‐Decay Tagging method. A γ‐ray line at 172 keV was assigned to and was interpreted as the transition between the single‐neutron and states. The measured energy splitting is compared with predictions of various mean‐field potentials. It is also used to calculate multi‐neutron configurations in light Sn isotopes. Prospects of using β‐delayed protons for tagging other exotic nuclei in the region are discussed.

A roundup of suggestionsWhat is this madness?
So, Katara-Alchemist what is this madness you have in your journal? Well, it has to do with the site updates posted over on hq. There's so many great suggestions posted in the comments of those journals, but they quickly get pushed down and lost among all the other feedback. I think these suggestions need to and deserve to be seen. So I decided to go through all the comments posted up to this point on the most recent site update and organize them into a nice, neat format.
Be sure to watch hq to see the future site updates! And take the time to at least glance through the suggestions given in the comments. There's some real jewels in there.

deviantART isn't magical, guys.Despite what you may believe, (and what some of the staff may themselves believe ) This site is not run by a bunch of magical wizards. They're human, sleep deprived and probably hyped on coffee or other such beverages, but human none the less. They can't wave a magic wand and fix every issue you're having right when you have it. They can't wave a magic wand and make an amazing new feature that works great right off the bat. It takes a lot of time and effort to do the things they do. And not only do they do these amazing things, they actually talk to the members about it. They post journals and ask for feedback and work with that feedback. It may not happen immediately, but they do listen.
dA has a good sized staff, certainly not huge by any means, but not small either. And like any company they're all working on different projects at the same time. Just because something like "More Like This" gets released doesn't mean the staff have dropped their other projects like the mobi
Common Forum Topics Addressed: Art CollegeWhat is this article about?
As someone who spends an extensive amount of time in the forums I can honestly say that the same questions come up over and over again. Things about college, how to use certain programs, how to take commissions, etc. So I've decided to do an article series about these questions. There won't be a regular schedule to these, since they'll only be written when I start to see an abundance of the same questions coming up. Mostly, I just want to have something to link to so I don't have to write the same response to these questions over and over again.
Our first topic is going to be college related questions. If you have any suggestions for future topics, don't hesitate to note them to me for consideration.
Should I go to Art College?
What college you go to is definitely an important decision, and one you should think very carefully about. It is true that art can be self taught through the internet, but what
Missed it by that much... contest time!Journal
Missed my dA b-day again. I have officially been here for six years now as of February 4th! So, to celebrate I'm running a stupidly silly little contest involving telling funny stories based on stock photos. Come check out all the details here: http://katara-alchemist.deviantart.com/journal/forum/1835560/
The first place winner will get 200points and two runners up will get 50points each. So come join my silliness!
Spirit Day 2012"Ultimately, I want Spirit Day to make just one person feel little bit better about his or herself, to feel safe enough in their own skin and to be proud of who they are" - Brittany McMillan
In memory of the young LGBT people who lost their lives to suicide, Brittany encouraged her friends to wear purple on a day in October -- a day that came to be known as Spirit Day. Since then, GLAAD has helped turn Spirit Day into a global event that inspires millions of individuals, celebrities, TV personalities, media outlets, companies and schools to wear purple in a stand against bullying.
While Spirit Day does focus on the LGBT community, I believe that it's anti-bullying message is relevant to every community. It only get's better, if we take the pledge to make it so.
Practice compassion and understanding, and treat others how you would like to be treated and we can make a difference.
Show your support for this anti-bullying me

Daily Deviation Suggestion Drive!Back By Popular Demand!
In January of 2012, the community was challenged by thorns to do something about their complaints on dA. Thus was born this very group! But before the group, it was just a fledgling idea on LiliWrites's account that began with a DD Suggestion Contest. The results of that contest were overwhelming. And so, under the prodding of quite a few Community Volunteers, we're going to do it again!
UPDATE: Less than 1 week in and we've already got 100 suggested DDs and 2 accepted suggestions!! Keep up the great work guys and gals. Please remember that you need to leave a link to every deviation you suggest in this journa
Seniority Announcement - December 2011This article marks the latest announcements detailing the latest additions to the dizzy height of Senior members in our community. With just over 800 deviants holding the highly saught after ` -- it's clearly a moment that deserves recognition.
So what does it take to become a Senior? That's a question many have asked and have never really been able to get a straight answer on. Some have gained Seniority as a thank you for their time spent as a Volunteer, or to recognise their contribution to a particular project or collaborative action. Some have gained Seniority because of their community spirit, providing help and assistance to many other deviants and taking time out to promote the work of others in the community.
Some people have received Seniority because of their artistic endevours, having a positive influence on their peers by sharing resources, providing constructive criticism and by being a voice that stands out above the many others who deviate to be recognised
Why you feature stolen work?!?!Lately there seem to have been a few myths flying around in particular with regards to how we as Community Volunteers, give Daily Deviations. Many people seem to think that we sit at our desks in dark little rooms and let out evil laughter whilst we purposefully feature stolen work. The dark rooms and laughter - well I can't say yes or no on that one! But I can promise you it's not our intent to give exposure to people who have stolen work. I recently featured a piece of work that turned out to be stolen. However I went into extensive conversations with the artist before I featured it, and with added metadata and dates, it's difficult to know where to draw the line. I've given people the benefit of the doubt before - and it's worked out nicely as their work has been legitimate. Below are some comments I have seen being thrown around the past few days - and hopefully an attempt to bust the myth.

Complaints About Quality Declines in DD'sComplaints about quality declines in DDs
Let's take a quick look at what a Daily Deviation is first. You might remember this article from our last PE week A Daily Deviation is NOT an award, but a feature. If you haven't already, you might want to take a look at it! It's a great read and you can get a good foundation as to what a Daily Deviation stands for.
So, I'll be touching on the subject of "Complaints about quality declines in Daily Deviations". Why is this so important to touch on? That's a great question and I will be more than happy to answer it below as I describe some key factors that are often overlooked in the way of art vs quality.
Addressing Quality of Deviations
"A picture is worth a thousand words."
There is a lot of this going around "Daily Deviations are losing quality. They're not as beautimous as they used to be.". How about we step out of the shoes of "what is and isn't art" for just a s

Daily Deviations UpdateHappy Monday Morning
I started this morning by signing something "Moonbam13" so either this typo means I need more coffee, or this week is going to be BAMTASTIC!
I'm rooting for the latter
I wanted to post a quick update on changes to Daily Deviations. It is important to note that these changes have not been hard-coded so my team is manually following these new guidelines. This means that errors can and likely will occur until the coding is complete, your patience and understanding is appreciated
The following guideline changes are in effect:
The 3-month rule is now the 6-month rule, meaning that it must be at least 6-months since the last time an artist received a daily deviation. (This was an overwhelmingly popular suggestion from the community and I agree, it's a good one!)
Daily deviation selectors may only select one daily deviation per day maximum. This has been put in place to focus on Quality vs Quantity.

Over the past few months, we've been diligently working on cleaning up the category tree of old and unused categories. While most of this will go unnoticed by the community, what you will notice is the change from "Miscellaneous" galleries to "Other". The reason for this change is simple. The concept of Miscellaneous leads one to believe that it's a junk drawer category for everything under the sun when the intention was to be an "Other" category for deviations that don't fit well in other sub-categories of the tree. We're also working on u

Self Harm Awareness day 1st March 2012
Today marks an awareness day over a subject that can mean many things to many people. Self Harm (or Self Injury) is the act of physical damage to oneself, usually as a coping strategy for expressing deep distress or coping in difficult situations. Self harm commonly is associated with cutting, but can also refer to any physical damage to the self including burning, hitting, taking overdoses, swallowing chemicals, bleaching, hair pulling ( trichotilliomania), scratching and so forth.
You may know what it is, but it is often the reasons why that people are not familiar with. There is still this belief and stereotype surrounding the type of person likely to harming them-self, but the truth is, it could be anyone no matter what gender, culture or age. The reasons behind self harm can be such a huge variety- different people cope in different ways with different distresses. Such issues that may trigger self harm might be bullying, t
Gaining Exposure To ArtGaining Exposure For Your Own Art:
Being active on the site is probably the best and most effective way to get yourself and your art seen. Leaving thoughtful comments on others art will often result in them coming to your page to find out more about you and see your art. Being involved and making friends will promt people to focus on you and your art giving you a bit more exposure. Leaving critiques, helping to moderate groups, posting in the forums, or simply chatting it up in the chatrooms. These can all be beneficial in getting you more exposure. Below I'd like to outline some of the wonderful ways, I believe, you can gain extra exposure to your art.
Joining groups which are relevant to your interests and the art which you make can be very helpful in getting your art out there and seen by like minded individuals. The introduction of groups by dA has made it very e

Stop The Violence"Stop the Violence" is a photography series done by Francois Robert in the 90's. Robert won three storage lockers at auction in the early nineties and in one he found a complete, fully articulated skeleton. Robert took the skeleton apart and began to arrange the bones into recognizable shapes, shapes that when paired with the material of human bones, create an amazing commentary on different aspects of today's world culture.

About to start in a Psych Hospital.. - page 2

- 0Mar 14, '12 by marilyn crispFirst of all, in my opinion, your employer has set you (and everyone else) up for failure, which is totally unfair. I am sure that most of that 2 weeks of orientation was sitting in a classroom learning theoretical stuff when you have no idea what they're really talking about. It's like giving classes on how to ride a bike and you've never even seen one! Crappy orientations are my biggest pet peeve in nursing. I've been a nurse for over 18 years. I worked in Psych as a tech while I was in nursing school and when I graduated, landed a Psych job. I had a REAL preceptor. We worked the same days for 6 weeks, in addition to all the classroom stuff we had to do. She actually taught me what I needed to know and gave me more and more to do on my own, so that at the end of those 6 weeks I felt comfortable. I have also worked med/surg, peds, home health, corrections and most were wholly inadequate. I just started a psych position where nurses basically get 2 shifts on the floor. Most of the units only have 1 nurse, so you best be ready to be charge in 2 days! There are a number of new grads that started with me. How unfair to put ANY nurse, let alone a NEW nurse in such a position. Shameful! In the right place, with the right team and the right administration that really values their employees Psych can be awesome. I have learned so much about myself working with this population. I wish you the best!

Peregrine Shows Desperation in Dusting Off Ancient Brain Tumor Drug
In October 2006, Peregrine announced plans to start a 40-patient phase II study of Cotara in India.
In March 2009, Peregrine conceded enrollment in both the phase I and phase II studies of Cotara was "modest," forcing the company to place the entire program on the backburner due to financial constraints.
It wasn't until June 2010 that "final data" on 12 patients in the phase I dosing study of Cotara were released.
During the same month, Peregrine announced the phase II study of Cotara in India was 75% enrolled. Mind you, that means it took the company four years to enroll 30 GBM patients in India.Final results from the phase II study were finally presented in June 2011 -- five years after the study started. All the data is from Indian patients with recurrent GBM. The study was single arm and open label. The median overall survival was reported to be 8.8 months with a median progression-free survival of 23 weeks. Without a comparator arm, the data are meaningless, particularly since the trial was conducted entirely in India over five years. "Our goal going into these discussions with the FDA was to agree upon a clinical trial design that would be appropriate for this orphan indication and one which we could enroll within a two-year timeframe," said Joseph Shan, Peregrine's vice president of clinical and regulatory affairs, in Wednesday's press release. Wait. Peregrine claims it will enroll 300 GBM patients in a Cotara phase III trial within two years. Wow, that's funny, given the five-plus years it took to enroll 40 patients in India! "Having established a clear clinical path forward for this novel and targeted delivered drug candidate, we can now escalate our business development activities to secure a partnership, recognizing the great interest by companies in drug candidates within the orphan and rare disease space," said Peregrine CEO Steven King, also in today's company press release.

One World Trade Center is now officially the tallest building in the city.
More than a decade after terrorists toppled the original World Trade Center towers, workers at the site installed a steel beam Monday that brings the height of the structure to 1,250 feet.
The steel skeleton of One World Trade now stands slightly higher than the Empire State Building's observation deck.
Port Authority officials say the project has been one of the most complex in the city's history because of both physical challenges and the emotional significance of the site.
"You always knew you were close to New York when you saw the Twin Towers, now an entire generation will know they are close to New York and know that New York and New Jersey have never stood taller then when they see this building," said Port Authority Executive Deputy Director Bill Baroni.
The agency also said that given the structure's strong central concrete core, running through the tower for the elevators, and separate stairs for the use of firefighters," the new One World Trade Center is an extremely secure building.
"What we've built is not only the tallest skyscraper in New York but it is a tower that will be the safest and most secure in the world," said Port Authority Executive Director Patrick Foye.
It is also hoped the skyscraper will become a symbol throughout the world of American resilience.
"We are very proud of what you have done, in France, of America. We are very very proud of what you have done, congratulations," said a French visitor.
"I'm happy for all of New York and I'm happy for America because it's symbolic for once we get kicked down, we're going to get right back up," said a visitor from New Mexico.
EarthCam.com has released a time-lapse video of the construction, seen below.
One World Trade will eventually rise to a height of 1,776 feet. Once complete, it will have 104 floors, including three-million-square-feet of office space.

I believe it was the summer of 1999, a year out of high school, I lived at this questionably dysfunctional house we lovingly referred to as "The White House". Lots and lots of things happened there, most of which its best to never speak of again, but I had also experienced one of the first surges of uninhibited and uncontrollable creativity. I was constantly making art at that house, one of my favorite projects was handing a length of wire to each person who entered my room, I instructed them to "Make a dude" and they would bend the wire into what ever character that oozed out of them at the time. I would collect their figure, spray paint it black and then hang it from the ceiling. I had dozens by the time I moved out and they are most certainly still in some dusty box in the corner of a closet somewhere to this day.
Another project I conceived back then was this "parts of a whole" project. I attempted it once, I cut a photo out of a magazine and then cut that photo into six smaller parts, I then handed out a piece of paper and the piece of the picture to six friends and asked them to draw their piece. It seemed like an awesome idea, but given our youth and state of mind, the pieces were quickly lost or destroyed and the project fizzled. I never forgot the concept though, and talked about reinstating it several times, but never quite got it off the ground until about a month ago.
A quirky father/daughter exchange on facebook over a photo of Ed Grimley re-birthed the idea. My dad actually proposed the concept to me. I mentioned that I had had the idea for years and we quickly switched from playful banter to planning the project. Secretly we selected a subject matter while we publicly discussed the logistics.
After hammering out the details, we asked the social-sphere if anyone would like to play and before we knew it we had more people signed up to participate than we had pieces available, and not just locals, we had one participant from San Francisco, one from Maryland and one from Philadelphia.
The paper boards were distributed with a section of the whole picture. We asked that the recipient paint their version of their square and only included the following guidelines:
There is a pattern in your piece that we suggest you more or less follow. The overall value tones will contribute to the final image, so we suggest you make the light colors light and the dark parts dark. Within those parameters, any way you want to interpret the image is just fine with us. And by all means, feel free to use colors. Just because our model is grey doesn't mean your piece has to be. Feel free to use whatever medium suits you… Paint, chalk, spray paint, collage, coffee stains, whatever. Probably best to avoid food, blood or other bodily substances please. We do have to handle it after you do your part.
We gave everyone two weeks, which actually turned into three because of a few hiccups. The boards trickled in slowly and we weren't actually actually able to see the final product until the day we assembled them to hang. My brother Dylan, my dad and I made a substrate for the individual pieces to hang on. We did this for two reasons, one because some of the boards had warped a bit due to the wetness of paint and other materials the individual people used but also because the mean people at the weather station had informed us that if we were lucky we would reach a HIGH of NEGATIVE 1. That's down right, straight up, stupid $%^&S* cold! Pre-preparing the boards made it so that we could assemble in a place that was warm and cozy and only subject ourselves to the bitter cold as very little as possible.
Our preparations paid off and the hang and reveal went off without a hitch. Dylan and Pops had crafted the perfect reveal plan and the brave souls who risked their digits to stand in the cold seemed more than delighted to see their seemingly random squares come together to display the unmistakable Voodoo Child himself. "Its Jimi F*CKING Hendrix!" rang loudly throughout the alley, as everyone cheered and celebrated what we had all done together.
I can't say I had 100% faith in the project. As the pieces came back to me, I would look and admire each one, for alone they were truly masterpieces. But I didn't really believe the image would be there, or at least I wasn't certain it would be that obvious. To my delight I was wrong to question it. It wasn't only clear, it was crystal clear, unmistakable and beautiful.
If you get a chance, please go down and spend some time with this piece before it is taken by time and the organic nature of Art Alley. Each piece deserves your attention. Every one is hand crafted and remarkable. This was one of my favorite projects and I couldn't be happier. All my love and thanks to everyone who participated and to those beyond that who are helping celebrate the creation!

Anyone started as a Lpn and ended as a CRNA
- 0Jul 2 by denyannaI'm 19 and graduating in January as a LPN, my dream is to be a CRNA. Has anyone went from Lpn to CRNA and how did everything go? Just curious !!
- 0Jul 2 by TheCommuter, ASN, RN Senior ModeratorYour thread has been moved to the CRNA forum, since virtually no CRNAs are going to be reading posts in the LPN/LVN Corner forum on a routine basis. Good luck to you.
- 6Jul 2 by wtbcrna, MSN, DNP, CRNA GuideI started out as LVN and eventually became CRNA. This year I will be going back for my PhD in nursing. There shouldn't be any reason why you can't go on and become a CRNA. You just need to apply to an LVN to BSN program and continue from there.
- 2Jul 9 by ncemtI started out as an NA (nursing assistant), and will be starting a DNP degree CRNA program next month. I know that doesn't exactly answer your question, but if you were wondering if you can start out a bit "lower" on the totem pole (from a degree standpoint ONLY) and still end up in CRNA school, then yes, you can .

Getting the highest quality wedding photography Shrewsbury for your special occasion is one of the critical elements of generating a lifetime of happy memories. It is equally important though, to possess a clear understanding of what you would like to see in your wedding album. Should the thought of all the different shots, poses and configurations is leaving you in a jumble, here is a quick review of some of the must-have shots your professional photographer needs to take to create your ideal wedding album.
The Preparations
Your album will most likely begin with a summary of your wedding preparations. If you are the bride, be sure that your bridal dress is captured on its own either draped tastefully on a couch or suspended. Your shoes and bridal bouquet are crucial essentials of the wedding as well and deserve their own shoot. As you get ready for the wedding ceremony - getting your hair and make up done, putting on your garter - your professional photographer will be capturing all these moments to incorporate them in your album. Obviously when you are completely ready, you need to have an exclusive photo shoot all dolled up. Your mom, bridal party and flower-girls will also be captured for the album in a classy manner.
On the groom's side, the preparations are mutually priceless. Photos of the groom adjusting his cravat, spending some special moments together with his father and groomsmen among others supply the album a well-rounded coverage of your complete occasion. The moments when the groom and bride are setting out in their vehicle/limo/ride could also be caught to set the scene for the actual wedding ceremony.
The Ceremony
A good photographer will beautifully cover your wedding day ceremony, retaining its classic appeal while effectively adding a unique twist to the album according to your distinctive style. The time honoured shots never go out of season so be sure that your album contains images of the groom anticipating his bride, the bride arriving at the scene and the venue with and without all of the guests. There must also be pictures of the ring bearer, the groomsmen, the flower-girls and the bride's stroll down the aisle with her escort. Another classic shot is that of the wedding couple captured individually waiting for one another as they watch over their shoulder.
Your photographer will take great care in addressing all the nuances of the wedding service including the rings being traded, the kiss, the faces of the couple and important others as the vows are taken. The happy couple's departure must also be recorded in all its magnificence to adorn the wedding album.
Pre-Reception Shoot
Before the reception, the professional photographer could complete a special photo shoot of the wedding couple in their preferred poses, together with their families and close friends. It is important to leave a list well before time with the photographer of the essential group photographs you want taken; this will make sure that your desired images are all safely there in the album.
Alongside the classic shots, the professional photographer could also modify the album the way you like by shooting you as a couple in your favourite settings or perhaps in a non-traditional set-up. Nearly anything such as a favourite outdoor setting, an unforgettable urban location or just a set of candid poses to your liking. There is endless options and a good photographer will do everything he is able to to make your shoot memorable and your photographs timeless.
Capturing The Reception
The wedding reception will certainly be a fun and hectic affair for you as well as your guests. Be sure you make it even more memorable by requesting your professional photographer to shoot the arrangements in detail - the seating arrangements, décor and atmosphere - so at a later date you can look back on your time and effort and have plenty to smile about.
Also think about any particular moments that you would want recorded such as candid memories with friends or family that are unique to your wedding ceremony alone. Be sure you mention it to your professional photographer to cover these as you only have one chance to achieve this.
A great Shropshire wedding photographer will discover a simple balance between following your instructions and utilising his talents to capture your special memories to perfection. So go ahead and begin to make that all-important list of pictures you want recorded in your precious wedding album. You merely get one chance so do it correctly.

Leave Nitpicking to the Experts, Trade ETFs on Gold, Oil and Equities
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- For investors not into stock picking or trading commodity futures or bonds, you can do so using the popular exchange traded funds or ETFs I have been profiling in various articles on TheStreet.com. In other words you can trade these markets like stocks in ETFs.
On Sept. 4 I wrote Higher Yields on Bonds, Gold and Crude Oil, and since then bonds have been moving higher with gold and crude oil moving sideways to down.
On Sept. 18 I wrote How Capital Markets Will React to FOMC News where I updated the risk/reward for these markets as they react to the Fed statement and Fed Chief Ben Bernanke's press conference.
The yield on the Treasury 10-year note peaked at 3.007% on Sept. 6, and the yield on the 30-year bond peaked at and 3.94% on Aug. 22.My call for September was that these yields will form trading ranges influenced by monthly pivots at 2.725% on the 10-year and 3.738% on the 30-year and this proved to be the case. (TLT) ($105.80). The Treasury ETF is above its 50-day simple moving average at $105.23 with the 200-day SMA a strong resistance at $114.00. The weekly chart ended last week positive with rising momentum with the close above the five-week modified moving average at $105.74 with the 200-week SMA at $107.82. My weekly value level is $103.60 with a monthly risky level at $107.27. My semiannual value level lags at $92.32 with quarterly and semiannual risky levels at $111.43 and $120.62. After continuing to fail at its 50-day SMA at $1,344.7 an ounce, Comex gold ($1,287.6) is back below $1,300 trading to a Tuesday low at $1,290.5 as the daily chart shifts to negative. The weekly chart stays negative if Friday's close is below the five-week MMA at $1,333.2 with the 200-week SMA at $1,475.2. Daily and monthly value levels are $1,271.9 and $1,145.2 with weekly, quarterly and annual risky levels at $1,401.6, $1,435.6, $1,599.9 and $1,852.1. Continue to trade the gold market just like a stock using an ETF. SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) ($124.59) is below its 50-day SMA at $130.04 with the 200-day SMA at $141.78. The gold index is below its five-week MMA at $129.82. My monthly value level is $110.40 with weekly and quarterly risky levels at $135.16 and $138.20.

Boardwalk Empire Review: A History of Jimmy's Violenceby Teresa Lopez at . Comments
Violence seemed to be the order of the day on "Gimcrack & Bunkum." The gruesome and emotionally harrowing scenes occasionally made me cringe and cover my eyes in shock. But all that brutality made this episode just as entertaining and enthralling as last week's.
The tides have changed for Jimmy, as he faced some humiliating tests of his leadership ability. Nucky forced the unprepared Jimmy to make an impromptu speech at the World War I memorial dedication, and Mr. Parkhurst uses his cane to scold Jimmy with a knock to the head. Each man thinks Jimmy is just an impertinent and disobedient kid.
But Jimmy isn't a child, and boy did he prove it. After a pep talk from dear old mom, he took the first step towards reclaiming his manhood and his position as a vicious leader. Jimmy's silent confidence and steely resolve are the best parts of his character, but those traits can take him to some pretty dark places. Watching his cold execution of Parkhurst's scalping was equal parts terrifying and unnervingly satisfying for me.
This scene made me wonder, are we supposed to root for Jimmy? Jimmy clearly wanted to prove that he will do whatever it takes to stay on top. It was nice to see Jimmy regain his confidence after that thump on the head from Parkhurst, but I can't imagine Boardwalk Empire without Nucky Thompson in power.
However, I could definitely imagine the show without Eli, whose sniveling apology to Nucky was not only too late but also showcased how easy betrayal is for Eli. In the end, his groveling only served to add to his humiliation when Nucky callously rejected him, and it led to the inevitable violent confrontation between the two siblings. Another oddly gratifying moment of violence.
Less brutal, although just as disturbing, was Richard's trip to the woods. He seemed resolved to end his life, but the weird sequence of events that transpired (a random dog stealing his mask?) led him to cling to the only tie that matters: his friendship with Jimmy. Although not the most stable, Richard's character brings the most life to the series by reflecting how much a person can lose. His tragic circumstances add an extra layer of dramatic tension to the show and all of his scenes are electric with quiet tension. I'm glad he was saved out there in the woods.
Boardwalk Empire has really reached a high point in the season, leaving us with lots of questions for the upcoming episodes. To wit:
What about Horvitz? Jimmy may have put Parkhurst and the old boy's club in line, but Horvitz seems like a much more formidable opponent.
Eli's "accidental" killing of George could have serious consequences. What's going to happen to Eli, and who will be implicated in his crime?
Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that Nucky's deal with the new prosecutor won't go as smoothly as promised. Will Nucky really get off so easily?
The directors will not betray the true history of Atlantic city during the 1920's. Thus far, they have maintained a keen sense of history from the way the boardwalk truly looked in the '20's to the actual character of Nucky (i.e. "Enoch Johnson").
Will he win: Yes. If the writers want keep on par with history which they have in the character of nucky...all the additional participants are for entertainment. The entire show revolves around certain themes and they all circle around the question of what, even the ancient Greek philosophers pondered: What is the measure of a man? IS Nucky more evil than good? Is he more "good" than evil? if not, why?
The show does a great job of making people of any generation search their heart and soul to answer the question: "IF you had the chance for ultimate power, money, fame...would you take it?"
There is a sublime point that the writers are, I think, attempting to pass along for reflection to the viewer. Hence, the grand quality of the show. In virtually each character, fighting their own personal demons, we learn more about not just the "roaring '20's," but rather those human traits that arise in any age.
There have been many "Nucky's" with different names and in different places. The key question is: What do these characters tell about us all? They show the weaknesses, strengths, and ask the perennial question of "what is right and wrong?" Can a small bit of "evil" contribute to a greater good?
Jimmy will not die but will be humbled. I think many of the characters are in a position of being humbled, as Nucky was. Atlantic City in the 1920's was a great choice to expand upon many qualities of human nature. Many of the questions that arise from the personalit of the characters are not unique to the '20's. They are very much alive today.
I don't think there are concrete answers. The writers want us to ponder and think about human nature. TV isn't always about mere entertainment. It is a reflection of who we, as a people, really are. When we lay at night and wish upon a star...what are your deepest desires? Power, money, glory? All...in someway or maybe just one? This is the essence of show...the magical quality that makes it "come alive." It "comes alive" because even we that live in the second decade of the 21st century can very easily identify with the emotions of those that lived, smiled, loved, and came of age during the '20's. They had no idea what, in 10 years, would change their world forever, that is, the Great Depression. Technology has changed our lives. It has progressed further than human emotion has. The series captures this fact, well... and, it should leave us all with questions about human nature and not concrete answers. Great philosphical unertones. Great show!
That was quite gory! Katy and Owen hooked up finally. Nucky's trying to get work done and shaking his head derisively at all the carousing in the next room :]

You are here: Home / InstaMember Handler Page
I have been very happy with the results that I have been getting from my campaign with Marketing By Permission. This is especially true recently. I have seen a significant upturn in the amount of phone calls and email inquiries from potential customers. Recently I have been setting one or two appointments per week that can be directly attributed to my search engine placements.
Jon has been very helpful in trying to maximize my presence in my different markets. While I don't always understand how or why, it's working.
I really feel that the money I am spending is the best investment that I have made from a marketing stand point to potential cleaning customers. The appointments that I have set from these inquires have closed at a very high rate. With telemarketing becoming an even more difficult way of setting appointments, this campaign is at least filling in some of the holes.
The results were not immediate, but I am happy that I stuck with Jon and tweaked our presence on the internet search engines.

Hey all, just started posting some of my stuff here and on the magic in pixels (not to mention my own blog). Here's one of the Japan Pavilion I took recently. I'll post more in the days to come.
Great shot! I love what you did with it to give it that almost eery look. Very nice!
looks great
Great shot, and great sky in background
Also, this is an HDR shot taken just after the lights started coming on in rhe park.
I got a couple of other good shots this day I'll post one from France later tonight.
That is a great photo!
beautiful!! :) welcome to the boards?!
I look at this picture and want to hum "Night on Bald Mountain" (the song from the Chernabog section of Fantasia). Nice shot.
That photo is absolutely gorgeous. I love the lighting in the sky and the pagoda lights. I too love photography, but I only have a little point and shoot from WalMart. What is HDR? I've gone to 'The Magic in Pixels' site, but it's way ahead of me and my little camera. WDW is, of course, my favorite place to photograph! (I wish I could get there more often!) Thanks for sharing. It's funny that one of my favorite shots that I took on my last trip is of Japan, also. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.
hey all,
HDR stands for high dynamic range. It's a process of combining 3 exposures in one using a piece of software called photomatix (there are other applications you can use, but photomatix is my tool of choice).
Quite a bit of work goes in creating one of these photos (sometimes hours on end). But, I enjoy that very much. :)
Also, there's quite a bit of work that goes into the shooting aspect of something like this (what to meter on, setting white balance, appropriate aperture and framing and so on). I'm going to add a link to my signature to my shooting for HDR tutorial. that is basically my pre shooting checklist

This Satin Stretch Car Cover is great! It looks fantastic, feels great and is made well. I would highly recommend this cover to anyone looking for a great indoor cover to keep their car clean and protected.
