first off Thierry Mugler perfume bottles are tacky, there I said it, I much prefer a minimalist bottle then this grenade-star that Thierry seems to love.
As for the perfume, I do not like Angel and was ambivalent to Alien (original) but when he came up with the leather collections I wanted to buy them all.
Alien is my favorite, rich,warm and creamy. I love leather sent and orientals, Alien really fit the bills with a touch of white flower but dissolve after at the dried down and then come the dried fruits, amber and the leather.
It is a more for winter and it can be overpowering for people who prefer those fruity-florals you see so much now in department stores.

As someone who detests the original Alien, as do many others (i wrote a negative review for it under my old account that got a lot of feedback from MUAers messaging me how much they agreed!)..I (cautiously) recommend this. (I can say the same of the Angel version of this line--I HATE original Angel, love the leather one, possibly more than this Alien one.) It is the same old Alien, effect of heat and dust, but softer/smoother, blended better, and the leather note is PERFECT, it gives an effect of harmony rather than the jarring, awkwardly positioned, ugly effect I think of as characteristic to Alien.This one is superior, I feel, though DH disagrees and prefers the original, and maybe you will too. I wish they gave a bigger bottle for this.

Mayors Seek Funds to Battle Ash Borer
DES MOINES, IA (AP) - Mayors from 30 Iowa cities have signed a letter written by U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley that asks Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to provide more federal funds to fight the tree-killing emerald ash borer.
In the letter sent Wednesday to Vilsack, Braley notes that an Agriculture Department fund made available to other states has been cut by more than 75 percent, leaving little for Iowa's response. Braley writes that Iowa deserves the support provided to other states and asks Vilsack to restore funding.
The letter is signed by 30 mayors, including those in Burlington, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Des Moines, Dubuque, Waterloo and West Des Moines.
The emerald ash borer has been found in 10 Iowa counties. It's expected to ultimately kill most of Iowa's more than 3 million ash trees.

There's not a worse word in scouting circles than "potential". It's basically defined as something that could happen or, more specifically, something that someone could become. It sounds great in theory, but what if a player can't become something far greater?
Take Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel. He's projected by most to be the No. 1 overall selection in this month's draft, but some don't consider him the top offensive tackle. I certainly don't; he's second to Central Michigan's Eric Fisher. That's partly because he's not as athletic as Fisher is, and also because he doesn't have the upside or potential that Fisher has.
That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. Joeckel is less likely to fail to live up to his billing — some call this having a "higher floor" — because he's a better prospect than Fisher is right now. He's a technician in the same way Jake Long was when he came out of the University of Michigan in 2008 and was selected with the top pick by the Miami Dolphins. For general managers whose hind regions are on fire right now because of a crappy job they've done in recent years or those who have just begun their reign, it benefits them to select the "safer" player. That explains why Kansas City is likely to take Joeckel with their first overall pick in 17 days, even though he doesn't have the potential that Fisher does.
What Joeckel does have is consistency. He's very efficient in his technique and is a very good player on a per snap basis, as NFL Films' Greg Cosell recently noted. At the offensive tackle position, that's more important than the factor of potential and elite athleticism, which Joeckel, doesn't have.
Playing consistently with proper technique at the tackle position is similar to a safety playing with quality fundamentals. Even though the safety, in this example, is slower than others, he makes up for it with better fundamentals. It's similar with the tackle position, which is precisely why Joeckel is rated so highly.
Here's an example of his technique. He's at his usual left tackle position, and the opposition is an Alabama defensive end. The end is lined up at a widened five technique, and Joeckel has his left foot staggered, a sign indicating a kick-slide is coming.
As the play begins, Joeckel kicks out his left leg and repeatedly plants his right leg into the ground. While he slides, the defensive end takes a wide rush upfield, testing the foot quickness and technique of Joeckel. Is he quick enough to slide out wide? Can he extend his arms to redirect the end? If not, can he recover? Does he leave the inside rush lane to the end? These are all important questions and Joeckel gave emphatic answers.
While widening, Joeckel got his hands up and onto the end. His left arm was underneath the end's inside arm. It was a smart move that was done to gain leverage and control the defender. He did this while sliding his feet and bending his knees.
When the defensive end reaches the top of his rush, he realizes there's nowhere else to go. Joeckel has closed down the road to quarterback Johnny Manziel by further sliding his feet and keeping the rusher at arm length's distance.
The end tries to spin back inside and attack through the near gap. Joeckel slides his feet, bends his knees, and raises his arms up again. The pursuit is over.
Bill Parcells, the former New York Giants Super Bowl-winning head coach and the most responsible for selecting Long in 2008, once said "son, your potential is going to get me fired." The reality is that at the end of the day, the job that a player has been given simply needs to get done, and Joeckel can do that.
He may not have the potential that Fisher has, but he has the consistency that will make him a better player at least early in his NFL career.

HI all
I've been off the boards for awhile. When I moved into our home everyone and their brother gave me rose bushes for a housewarming including my husband who dragged a bunch home. They are really pretty blooming but require WAY more care than I have time for. I am keeping a couple of them for sure but the others have to go. I don't want to waste them so I'm hoping someone would like to come get them when I dig them up. Three are climbing roses. The blooms are dark red. They are all at least 4 years old but don't bloom well for me because I don't overwinter them the way I should. Or maybe they just don't like the soil or location. I don't know. I only get a handful of blooms each year from plants that otherwise look very healthy. I also have between 7 and 10 roses that are either shrub or hybrid teas. They have lots of pretty blooms but they are not in as good condition. I just don't have time to baby them so some have black spot. There are pink, salmon, red and yellowish white ones. I am looking for larger perennials and small shrubs in exchange for these roses and can't ship them due to their size so this will have to be an in person trade at my home. Please see my want list but I am open to most any trade. (I am not however interested in lilacs at this point as we have enough.) Thanks. Melissa |

I'd really like to get these out of here now so I can get some other perennials bedded down before winter. I hate to waste them but they are going to have to go. Melissa |

Hi Laura, I live maybe 15 minutes from you, in Washington, MI. I would be interested in your rose hybrid tea roses and shrub roses. I have hostas, though unnamed but you could always stop by and visit my gardens and see what you like. I have lots of perennials. I could possibly even get you some blood grass. Let me know. Debbie |

OOps I posted to a Aug. "2004" post. Wow don't I feel silly! |
I just found this web site. Have you gotten rid of all your rose bushes yet? What kind of flowers do you still need? I'm in Mt. Clemens. |
I know its been 2-1/2 years...but any chance you still have climbing roses that you want to be rid of? I'm looking for 2 for a new arbor that I am putting in my garden in Macomb Twp. Thanks! Michelle |

Through more than 15 years in the industry, stylist and makeup artist Minrell Bowers has masterminded makeup for theatrical performances, honed her cutting technique with Aveda, and developed her own sense of styling smarts. At A'jewel4sure Hair & Makeup Studio, she and her staff beautify clients' hair with cuts that run the gamut from conventional to contemporary and creative. The stylists cut, color, and treat hair of all ethnicities. Products from Redken and Moroccanoil moisturize strands more effectively than standing underneath a waterfall until your head is numb.
The stylists at Salon Do are busy. They're busy making people look and feel beautiful, thanks to a full array of haircare services. Their haircuts for men, women, and kids can range from as simple as a trim to as complex as an entire new style or paper-mache head. They also transform looks with blowouts and up-sweeps, highlights, lowlights, and other coloring services.
Jewel Brown uses her vast experience to bring out the best in clients at Hair By Jewel Salon. After receiving her degree in cosmetology, she worked as a hair specialist in the heart of Manhattan and spent time as a stylist at the Apollo Theater, working with Diana Ross and Salt-N-Pepa, among other celebrities. She also has a wealth of continuing-education experience, including classes in cutting and coloring, as well as a certificate from Great Lengths as a hair-extensions specialist. She puts her knowledge and experience to work with a diverse clientele as she snips away split ends, adds dimension with highlights, tames frizz with keratin smoothing treatments, smoothes strands with relaxers, and nourishes locks with conditioning treatments.
Barbara "Beebe" Love seems to be something of a heartbreaker. From the testimonials on her website, it's clear that, as she's moved from salon to salon throughout the Midwest, she's left a trail of clients searching for somebody to fill her place. Their loss, however, is Dunwoody's gain. In the studio she recently opened near Perimeter Mall, she designs hairstyles for maximum versatility and shares beauty tips of all kinds. She and her staff also specialize in high-quality extensions and in color that leaves hair looking healthy, which means using conditioning Redken Chromatics products rather than braiding in broccoli florets.
With 19-foot high ceilings, bright colored walls, clean exposed brick, and cast iron flourishes, Shear Salon maintains a vibe that is both upbeat and contemporary. This lively salon is owned by Jodi Schwartz Grieshop, who studied under the founder of Aveda and worked as a stylist in the film, photography, and theater industries. Here, Jodi has assembled an equally talented cast of master stylists and makeup artists who dole out everything from haircuts, glazes, and keratin treatments to transform clients into the best version of themselves.
Jodi and her crew at Shear Salon emphasize comfort, which extend to more than just the rich wood furnishings and mosaic tile artwork. Upon entering, clients are offered a choice of complimentary beverages, as well as access to free Wi-Fi.
Though her pampering skills once enriched the lives of students at Redken School in New York, these days, master cosmetologist Pat Alessi uses her more than 30 years of experience to upgrade looks at Salon 1580. Along with specialty services in creative coloring, Global Keratin treatments, and rejuvenating organic facials, Pat counts communication as one of her greatest styling assets, taking the time to carefully listen to each of her client's wants and concerns before expertly shaping locks with Redken, L'Oréal, and Rusk products. To keep abreast of the latest trends in European styling and croissant making, she also frequently attends seminars led by industry leaders, melding modern techniques with her own creative flair to create looks that are completely fresh.

CNN anchor, Anderson Cooper, has officially confirmed what most of the world were already aware of. He is homosexual and proud of it.
In an email to Andrew Sullivan, a Daily Beast blogger who is homosexual and a close friend of Cooper's, the international correspondent broke the news.
"The fact is, I'm gay," he wrote. "Always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud."
The email was written in response to Sullivan, who wanted Cooper's opinion on "The New Art of Coming Out," an Entertainment Weekly story which focused on the importance of gay celebrities publicly removing themselves from the closet to combat bullying.
Cooper cited the need to maintain his privacy as a journalist and public figure, so he could effectively tell other people's stories.
"Even though my job puts me in the public eye, I have tried to maintain some level of privacy in my life. Part of that has been for purely personal reasons. I think most people want some privacy for themselves and the people they are close to."
"But I've also wanted to retain some privacy for professional reasons," Cooper continued. "Since I started as a reporter in war zones 20 years ago, I've often found myself in some very dangerous places. For my safety and the safety of those I work with, I try to blend in as much as possible, and prefer to stick to my job of telling other people's stories, and not my own. I have found that sometimes the less an interview subject knows about me, the better I can safely and effectively do my job as a journalist. I've always believed that who a reporter votes for, what religion they are, who they love, should not be something they have to discuss publicly."
Well, at least he's not ashamed of who he is.
"…I've begun to consider whether the unintended outcomes of maintaining my privacy outweigh personal and professional principle. It's become clear to me that by remaining silent on certain aspects of my personal life for so long, I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something—something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed or even afraid. This is distressing because it is simply not true."
This is the first time that Cooper has openly discussed his sexuality, though it has been common knowledge since 2007, when he was listed on Out magazine's "50 Most Powerful Gays" list.
LGBT rights groups have commended Cooper for his decision.
In a statement to Yahoo! News, David Steinberg, president the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association wrote, "Our members share his sentiment that as journalists, not activists, we have a significant role to play as advocates for fair and accurate coverage of the LGBT community in the mainstream media. We have worked hard to ensure that all journalists are comfortable being out in the newsroom and having it not be perceived as detrimental to their ability to do their job."
Overall, Cooper's decision can be perceived as a step in the right direction toward breaking barriers for the LGBT community.

As the saying goes, no matter how far we've gone in life, there's always a time where we'll need to go back to our roots and remember how things began, in order to truly appreciate what we have today.
I'm not gonna go as far back to the day that I was born or conceived (I wish I knew that one, but then again..), but to the period of time where Dahbriukay and I got to know each other better. Oh, no. I can't remember every single detail, but thanks to the way we communicate, not much of the details were lost. :D
Our communication with each other were based solely on emails. No msn, no facebook, no friendster (we got around doing that a few months later). So the only way that we get to know each other better is through emails and we can't really snoop each other on facebook or friendster, since we both have limited access profiles. (Yeah, I tried snooping on Fb. And I'm betting every penny that I have, he did the same.)
So really, there wasn't any of those roughly-summed-up-perception of each other through facebook snooping. You might be wondering why we never add each other on facebook or msn the way normal people do (well actually I do that too, and very often!) but somehow, with Dahbriukay, I thought, just to make things interesting (and also exciting), why don't I try resisting the impulse to initiate and intervene and let life takes it own course?
Okay. I know.
Life doesn't take its own course. One way or another our action or inaction will have an impact on the outcome. So this time around, I'd decided to take the backseat.
And since there's this thing about delayed gratification and higher success rates/better outcomes in life, why not.
An example of delayed gratification leads to greater outcome:
It's kind of interesting to note how things had unfolded from a simple 5 lined email to the long and very detailed one. It's like reading a good blog entry, just that the blog entries are private and were written and read by only two person. In other words, my grandma would call those long and lengthy emails ♥Love Letters ♥
And no. There's no I love you and stuffs like that in our emails, until much, much, much, much, much, much later (delayed gratifications, remember?)
Now let me present you some quotable quotes from his emails…
Monday, 14 Jul, 2008 11: 58 PM I would coil around and around you till you bend my way :P Tuesday, 22 Jul, 2008 10: 23 PM I'm evil, and then I'm wicked, but inside I'm a misunderstood angel.. O:-) Tuesday, 22 Sep, 2009 12: 47 AM Be careful what you ask for. .. because you might actually get it ;)
..and one of the many emails.
No, Dahbiurkay doesn't know I'm posting all these up, and yeah, he might actually change my domain to yummyuncensored.com to get back at me if he sees this.
Which he actually might!!

Mr. and Mrs. Pines
this wiki
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
[Source] |
Mr. and Mrs. Pines are the unseen parents of Dipper and Mabel Pines.
Mr. Pines went to a Windows '95 conference and received a promotional bag with a t-shirt in it. Because he did not want to wear it, he gave it to Mabel, who uses it as a sleep shirt.[3]
At some point near the beginning of the summer, Mr. and Mrs. Pines decided that their children, Mabel and Dipper, needed some fresh air, so they sent them to Gravity Falls, Oregon to stay at their Great Uncle's house in the woods.[5]
They are only briefly (and partially) shown in "Tourist Trapped." Only their arms and chests can be seen. They take Dipper's video game and Mabel's cat, give their children luggage, and dab sunscreen on their noses.
Mabel mentions Mrs. Pines in "The Inconveniencing," recalling that she used to dress Dipper up in a lamb costume and have him perform the Lamby Lamby Dance.
Wendy references both parents in "Double Dipper," saying that she thought that Dipper got his nickname because Mr. and Mrs. Pines hated him.
Both parents are briefly mentioned in "The Time Traveler's Pig," when Blendin Blandin threatens Dipper and Mabel by saying he will go back in time to prevent their parents from ever meeting. Because they still exist, Dipper and Mabel conclude that he forgot.
Mr. Pines is mentioned throughout "Fight Fighters" by Rumble McSkirmish, who believes that Robbie killed Mr. Pines, and later in the same episode by Dipper who explains that he lied to Rumble and that no one killed his and Mabel's father.
In "Gideon Rises," Stan tries to reassure Mr. and Mrs. Pines that Dipper and Mabel are doing fine over the phone, claiming that they are staying at a four-star hotel, though they are actually staying at Soos' grandma's run-down house.
In "Mailbox," Mrs. Pines is mentioned by Mabel when she attempts to send her mother a video of her sticking 100 gummy-worms up her nose.
Season 1
- 101. "Tourist Trapped" (no lines)
- 105. "The Inconveniencing" (mentioned)
- 107. "Double Dipper" (mentioned)
- 109. "The Time Traveler's Pig" (mentioned)
- 110. "Fight Fighters" (mentioned)
- 120. "Gideon Rises" (mentioned)
- 3. "Mailbox" (mentioned)
- Dipper and Mabel's middle names are their parents' first names.[6]
- Since Stan shares the same surname as Dipper and Mabel, it can be inferred that he's Mr. Pines' paternal uncle.
- Alex has answered on his Twitter account that it's very unlikely that there will be an episode where the parents are introduced.[7]
- Mr. Pines' occupation is related to computers.[8]

An unlikely triathlete put his well-rounded athleticism to ill use last Friday when he biked, ran, and swam from the pursuit of Wisconsin law enforcement officers. Teenage triple threat Benjamin J. Solchenburger, 18, was accused of stealing a truck, crashing a truck, and stealing a bike in Wausau before his apprehension and subsequent multi-sport chase.
Shirking traditional triathlon order, Solchenburger first took off on the stolen bike. With police in hot pursuit, the young suspect then abandoned the bike for the running portion of his intended tri-sport escape. Eventually, he took to the Wisconsin River and swam across it for the final stretch.
He was promptly arrested on shore and held at the fittingly named Marathon County Jail on charges of vehicle theft, obstructing an officer, and violating the terms of his probation. Solchenburger's official time has yet to be reported, but it's suspected he may have set a personal record.
A special thanks to our friends at Runner's World for tipping us off to the young triathlete.

Can women out of science be good for society?
If, as has been feted, we are living at the start of the 'scientific century', then we should do all we can to encourage children to appreciate the beauty of scientific truth. We could start by sharing our love of science with the very young, those already bursting with enquiry.
The percentage of primary school teachers with science qualifications is small. In early years settings it is almost non-existent. But what about the role of scientifically trained parents in enthusing their children? Parents able to answer the perpetual 'Why?' questions with real answers can tap into young children's innate need to experiment and probe. Highly qualified women slip guiltily off the career track. Instead, we need a shift of emphasis to celebrate their role in bringing up scientifically aware offspring.
There are a plethora of examples of incorporating science into the home: what floats in the bath, what happens when food is cooked, battles between white cell knights and evil bugs in poorly tummies, the increase in toy box entropy on a wet afternoon. In other words, child-led playful discovery rather than parent-enforced scientific hot housing; learning that happens alongside living.
We should applaud those engaging with the ordinary: whether it is bringing scientific facts to vaccine discussions at the school gate, expounding evidence-based thinking in non-scientific pursuits or gently challenging reactionary and irrational perceptions.
All walks of life
I am not advocating extravagantly long maternity leave or paid career breaks. Mothers should be able to resign without their tail between their legs. If we value taking science training into the wider society, then women will feel more encouraged to return later. It should be easier to stop employment and easier to come back.
The years away from science may, due to financial necessity or the need for intellectual stimulation, include other forms of paid work. Intermediary, lower-key employment should not be viewed as a waste of an expensive degree or as an economic drag. Scientific minds are crucial in all walks of life.
We must, however, be fearful of losing women forever, and better family friendly working styles are needed to enable them to re-enter the profession at a later date. Of course, for those who choose to remain at work, combining scientific employment with raising young children should also be made more achievable, but it should not been seen as the only way.
Shift in mindset
Are there any benefits for mothers from having a break from the scientific establishment? Perhaps the intellectual holiday could leave women more open to novel ideas and less sullied by the scientific status quo. Too often science is done in a rush, tarnished with convention and without mulling over dissenting views. Could some time out of the race lead to broader thinkers with a wider perspective?
Of those with scientific training, it is not only mothers who can bring their knowledge into the everyday. Fathers can fulfil the role equally well. And fathers could equally benefit from the shift in mindset that looking after children inevitably brings.
Breaks are not just for when children are very young. Having ten years away should not been seen as exceptional. Given the opportunity, the brightest people, the ones most valuable to science, will adapt, thrive and make their way to the top.
Children being born today stand a chance of seeing the start of the next century. Perhaps by then we will no longer be struggling with the reality of childrearing in scientists' lives, and career paths that value a few years immersed in day-to-day society, for both mothers and fathers, will be the norm.

Vivid yellow. High-pitched, mineral-accented aromas of pear, Meyer lemon, quince and jasmine, with smoke and toasted grain qualities adding bass notes. Spicy, penetrating and pure, boasting impressive vivacity to its fresh orchard and citrus fruit flavors. Gains weight and breadth with air while maintaining vivacity, picking up a gingery nuance that carries through a long, smoky finish. I'd bet on this taut, youthful Champagne rewarding many more years of patience.

There's a sense of tension paired with grace in this deftly balanced version, with a rich and smoky vein of minerality underscoring the flavors of poached apple, honey, financier and sun-dried black cherry, showing hints of roasted almond, coffee liqueur and ground spice.

Upper Marlboro, Maryland Couple Charged with Domestic Servitude of Filipina Woman
Greenbelt, Maryland - A federal grand jury has indicted Alfred Edwards, age 73, and Gloria Edwards, age 60, both of Upper Marlboro, Md., on charges arising from a scheme to compel the labor and domestic service of a Filipina national.
The indictment was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez of the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division; and Special Agent in Charge Richard A. McFeely of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"The U.S. Attorney's Office will continue to work with the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division and federal and state agencies and nonprofit organizations, in conjunction with Maryland's Human Trafficking Task Force, to locate human trafficking victims and prosecute perpetrators," said U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein.
"Human trafficking robs victims of their freedom and dignity and it will not be tolerated in our nation," said Assistant Attorney General Perez. "We will prosecute all cases of human trafficking to the fullest extent of the law."
According to the five count indictment, the couple enticed the victim to come to the United States to work as the defendants' domestic servant. According to the indictment, the defendants lured the victim, who was an impoverished, uneducated, mother of 8 children, using false promises of a salary that would support the victim's children in the Philippines. The defendants procured a fraudulent visa to allow the victim to enter the United States; confiscated the victim's documents after she arrived; and compelled her labor for 13 hours a day over a period of 10 years, using a scheme of threats, assaults, withholding of documents, withholding of pay, and a peonage contract to coerce the victim's continued service.
The defendants are also charged with immigration violations.
The charges in the indictment are merely accusations and all defendants are presumed innocent until convicted in a court of law.
If convicted, the defendants each face a maximum sentence of up to 50 years in prison and $250,000 in fines.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein praised the Baltimore Division of the FBI for its work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein and Mr. Perez thanked Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lenzner and Senior Special Counsel Susan French of the Civil Rights Division's Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit, who are prosecuting the case.
The case was investigated by the Maryland Human Trafficking Task Force formed in 2007 to discover and rescue victims of human trafficking while identifying and prosecuting offenders. Members include federal, state and local law enforcement, as well as victim service providers and local community members. For more information about the Maryland Human Trafficking Task Force, please visit Human-Trafficking.

Married mom of two boys. Love cooking and baking. Sometimes I can get lost in time looking at cookbooks.I enjoy this site the more I use it. Great fun reading what others have to say and all the interesting people out there. When my mother passed away I don't know what happened to the few cookbooks she had. One paperback with a torn-off cover. Couple of the standards...but by searching this site and getting some lovely notes from all over the place it feels like a little bit of her carries on through the recipes I have found. Funny isnt it.......how certain tastes and smells trigger such memories.
I enjoy comfort foods. Family favorites from all the families I know.

February 15, 2012: The Wasserman Foundation, a family educational charity established in 1952 by Lew Wasserman, a movie studio mogul, and his wife Edie, in partnership with Los Angeles Unified School District, has donated $4 million to fund classroom projects in the district through donorschoose.org, an online charity where public school teachers can submit requests for supplies for classroom projects, and donors can choose which to support.
The Wasserman Foundation, currently run by grandson Casey Wasserman, at left, donated $5.3 million to LAUSD in 2009; the recent campaign brings the total donation to $9.3 million.
Wasserman's $4 million donation funded a total of 8,197 LAUSD classroom projects in less than 3 months.
$2 million was allocated to "gift cards", where recipients can choose the project they want to fund. The schools distributed $15 gift cards to all 700,000 LAUSD parents last December and Starbucks distributed an additional 285,000 gift cards, worth $10 each, to the general public through 200 of their Los Angeles stores, beginning January 23. In total, 107,000 parents and 39,842 starbucks recipients activated giftcards on donorschoose.org to fund classroom projects, meaning 143,000 people participated in spending the funds. The gift cards were redeemable through Feb 16, 2012, but the campaign proved so popular that all the funds have already been spent (donorschoose.org gives out more giftcards than funds on the basis that only about 25% will be activated).
$2 million was allocated to match donations for LAUSD classroom projects submitted by teachers on donorschoose.org (called double your impact). Initially the double your impact campaign was supposed to run for 2 years to help fund projects in the district, but as of February 1, 2012, the Wasserman Foundation announced these funds have also been exhausted.
Teachers were encouraged to submit 2 projects totalling $800. Examples of projects are: puppets to help kids learn to read, a new rug for kids to sit on, a classroom computer, a digital camcorder to tell stories. Teachers write short descriptions that must be approved by donorschoose.org, which sources the supplies and (once the project meets its funding goal) mails them out directly to the classroom. As part of the commitment, teachers must prepare a Thank-you Package, containing a teacher impact letter, handwritten student thank-you letters, and photos of the project, to send to donorschoose.org; the photos and teacher impact letter are uploaded to the website, and the student letters are forwarded to the donors.
Watch LAUSD teachers talk about the projects funded through this initiative:
LAUSD DonorsChoose Teacher Testimonials from LAUSD Journal on Vimeo.
The Wasserman initiative is large, but several corporations and foundations (Omidyar Network, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Chevron) have already donated millions of dollars to the public schools directly to the classroom in this way.
Foundations and corporate donors typically choose to match donations made by individuals to specific classroom projects, either within a particular district, such as the Antioch Union Schools Foundation, which spends its mini-grants through donorschoose.org; The San Francisco Unified School District has partnered with Gap,Inc. to do the same. Local businesses can also choose to support specific types of classroom projects (technology, environmental, science) by distributing gift cards or matching donations made by their employees. Corporate funds are also paying for classroom supplies using donorschoose.org through marketing campaigns (see examples: US Cellular, Chevron) by donating small amounts every time someone uses their service.

Wilber's: Barbecue Nirvana?
The following morning, we set out east before the crack of dawn. We'd read—and confirmed over the phone—that Wilber's Barbecue, in Goldsboro, North Carolina, opens at 6 a.m., and when we rumbled off the highway and into the parking lot of the sprawling roadhouse at exactly 7 o'clock, three dozen cars had already crowded the lot. Smoke puffed from a fire somewhere and lost itself in the morning's mist. We took a seat in one of the knotty pine–paneled rooms, with wooden schoolhouse chairs and red-checked tablecloths, next to a gathering of steely-haired farmers having their morning smokes and trading portentous outcomes.
"I'll tell you what," one of the men piped up. "The rain comes, there'll be a lotta IOU's going down that river." In the silence that followed, heads nodded, cigarettes got stubbed out.
Our own bleak future seemed foretold when the waitress arrived and said we could order anything we liked off the breakfast menu, but that the hogs simply weren't done cooking. Barbecue wouldn't be available until about 10.
We ordered a breakfast—brains and eggs; country ham; grits—that might have been cause to rejoice in other circumstances, but we ate them in silence. There was a long drive home ahead, and the week's worth of work to catch up on. We really didn't have a few hours to kill, but then—what's a few hours, for the perfect barbecue?
We strode back to the Buick to take stock—still not sure whether we'd be killing time here, or heading home—when we heard a voice behind us: "Hey, aren't y'all the Lee brothers?" The man juggled a Bible and a set of car keys, then set his Bible on the trunk of the car. "I don't believe it," he said. "Celebrities right here in Wilber's parking lot. I'm Willis Underwood."
We were speechless, not only because he'd mistaken two freelance writers for celebrities, but because we'd just been thinking Wilber's barbecue was the celebrity and we were the supplicants, waiting outside the trailer for a glimpse.
"Have you met Dennis? Have you been 'round back?" Underwood asked, then beckoned, "Come on!" He lit out past a fence shielding the operation from the parking lot and introduced us to Dennis Monk, who poked at the remains of a log fire that had burned down to glowing coals. A mountain of wood piled at the edge of the adjoining cornfield would last through the weekend, he said, and then they'd get another full trailerload Monday, and a week of barbecue would begin again.
Monk shoveled up some embers from the fire and ushered us through a screen door into a brick shed about three times longer than it is wide, lit by a string of bulbs, with the smoky-sweet smell of roasting pork fat everywhere. Each of the pits—troughs, really, about waist-high, running parallel to one another down the length of each wall—held a few hogs. Walking the aisle between the troughs, he shoveled fresh coals into the bottom of the pits through openings in the wall beneath each pig.
Monk lifted a battered sheet of tin loosely covering one pig, pulled at a couple ribs, which gave readily, with a plug of meat still attached, and proffered them. "This one's about done," he said, but there was one that had already come off the pit, and was in fact being pulled inside the kitchen, did we want to see?
Leamon Park, a 36-year veteran cook at Wilber's, was upending a bus pan full of freshly pulled pork morsels onto his board, and with two huge cleavers, hacked at it in a rhythmic roundhouse, chopping it down to size. He paused to season the meat with salt and pepper, and then poured what seemed like a gallon of crushed red pepper–spiced vinegar from a stainless-steel pitcher over it. Park tossed the meat with his cleavers, and the pork readily absorbed the liquid.
We ordered and left Monk to finish cooking—there were many more hogs to come off the pit, and much chopping to do before the lunchtime rush. The sandwiches were undoubtedly the best of the pilgrimage, freshly warmed, well seasoned. And by that time, Underwood's friend had showed up in his '71 fire-engine red Gran Sport convertible, and Underwood's wife and sister had arrived, too. So we all piled into the caravan of vintage Buicks, and we were on to the next place, for another bite of ethereal whole hog.

The Quad Micro Bar is a multifunctional piece of furniture perfect for small spaces and individuals who put importance on portability. At first it may appear like a typical tall table, which is ideal for parties that only have standing room. Nevertheless, it boasts four built-in stools that fold out when the space allows for it.
Designed by Joe Warren, the Quad Micro Bar creates a social experience for eating, drinking and chatting with friends. Its simple aesthetic also makes it great for a variety of lifestyles and occasions. Using local resources, materials, and technology, it is a smart creation all around. Currently, the Quad Micro Bar is on Kickstarter raising funds to reach a $12,000 goal.

Asbestos once seemed like a dream. The fire retardant insulator is versatile and ideal for various home, auto, and industrial products. However, health research found more of a nightmare. Asbestos is full of microscopic fibers that can break down and cause serious health problems when inhaled.
Undisturbed, untouched asbestos should not pose problems, but the material is a hazard during remodeling or if damaged. Many asbestos products should be carefully covered or removed for your family's safety and certainly before trying to sell your house.

text: In case you missed it here - I spent the weekend in my snow covered Pennsylvania hometown. While everyone there was practically rejoicing in the 30 degree temperatures and a (short lived) break from fresh snow, I was forced to quickly remember how to properly layer. The good thing about going home after living in California is that there were several old sweaters and this cargo jacket waiting for me in my closet that I hadn't needed to move with me. I could have used a pair of gloves and proper snow boots but for a walk down through the woods behind my parents' house with my Dad (who took these pictures) all of the extra layers made me feel right at home.

The Vatican said there have been no cover-ups in a growing scandal over pedophile priests, despite new allegations that leaders have ignored claims of abuse.
The latest case involves a priest in Milwaukee accused of molesting up to 200 deaf boys.
Victims who complained in 1996 claim the Vatican did not respond to their allegations and even halted a church trial against the priest. They also charge that Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger -- now Pope Benedict XVI -- was aware of the accusations, but chose not to punish the priest.
"We need to hear from him. Why he did what he did with the man who raped and molested children in our archdiocese," said Peter Isely, spokesman of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
"We need to know why he did not let us know about him and why he didn't let the police know about him," he said. "Why he did not condemn him, why he did not take his collar away from him."
Pope Benedict's supporters say he has taken a more aggressive approach than any other pope to rooting out abuse.

Axl is one of the best feeling shoes I have put on my feet .. A 10
I had the opportunity to visit Tangier outlet this past weekend an went into your store I bought a pair an I tried on the .. Axl shoes I just loved it didn't purchase it but I'll
be back if you have my size
March 17, 2014
Some flaws
The shoe is comfortable. I am not sure how the blue stitching would look like if shoe polish were to be applied. The top back of the shoe has a lip that catches the bottom of the pant leg causing an awkward look.
April 28, 2014
Just what I needed.
I bought these slip on Axl's because I was having surgery and would not be able to tie my shoes for a few weeks. That was three weeks ago and I have worn the black or brown pair almost every day since. I have them on now! They are lightweight and cool on my feet.

Dependable Comfort
This is at least the fifth pair of Clarks I've purchased and I know I can rely on the most important detail- dependable comfort! Wearing them for the first time is like slipping on an old friend.
December 16, 2013
These shoes are amazing!
I love these shoes! I find them lightweight, extremely comfortable and very durable. I have purchased three pairs. I've worn my original pair almost everyday for over a year (sometimes even on a spontaneous hike caked with mud) and if I polish them up they will still look very smart going out to dinner. I'm considering buying a couple more so I can enjoy these amazing shoes for many years to come.
January 14, 2014
Comfort and affordable
This product is so light, comfortable and affordable
January 11, 2014
Great product!
Comfortable, light weight, good value, and presentable for work (business casual).

Good shoe for bad feet
Because I have bad feet. I have difficulty with dress shoes. I took these n dyed the stitching black, polished them, nd now I have comfortable dress shoes. Works for me
December 31, 2013
Comfortable, well make
Bought this shoe for my dad. He love it so much he told me to buy one more. Very comfortable.

The Clark's AXl USED to be the best shoe for my father and myself
Ive had my first pair in tan of the clark's axl ,thanks to my father, since I was on my last year in medical school some 3 years ago.
SInce then Ive managed to own a total of 4 pairs in a size 10.5M.
I have two pairs in the tan ,1 in the brown and another in the black. My father only has two pairs a brown and a black both sized 9.5M
They never needed any breaking -in.they are the ONLY shoes I'd like to wear for days and days before this last purchase.
I recently bought 2 pairs in California and didnt see the need for trying them on ,in store.
Sadly ,when I got home I was disappointed to find out that the leather is not as soft and that the sole was not as soft and cushioned as compared to my other four pairs when I first put them on from the store.
these latest batch is not as comfortable as the first batch .
I dont think breaking them in would help,because the previous Axls that we have were perfect fresh from the store.
On close examination you could tell that the latest axls felt cheap to the touch and even cheaper on my feet.I compared them both to one of my almost new pair of tan axls from last year.My father agreed .He and I wondered why Clarks would downgrade the Quality of an already "perfect" shoe .
I had to go back to the store and bring them both back .
November 2, 2013
These shoes are fantastic
This is my third pair of AXLs and each pair including this pair are exactly the same quality - super light - super comfortable and the fit is wonderful - the only issue is that I'd like to get another pair in brown or tan but I require the shoe to be wide (not medium) - so I guess I'll just have to keep checking the Clarks website
December 12, 2013
they are light weight and so comfortable!
I have several pairs of Clarks. I have worn them for many years. They are a great shoe. They wear well and look good. This model is light weight and super comfortable. I like the material that fits next to your ankle around the top of the shoe. It is a dressy casual shoe that I may wear to church or on the streets of Europe. Another great pair I've added to my Clarks collection. Thanks Clarks!
September 28, 2013
very nice
True to size and look great They ship quickly. My husband and I love clark shoes.
October 12, 2013
Highly recommend!!!
I bought this shoe for my boyfriend. He loves how comfortable and lightweight they are. He will be buying another pair since he likes them so much.

Profit From a Performance-based Pay Structure
By: Denise Dubois
Posted: November 29, 2012, from the December 2012 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
Editor's note: This article is based on the presentation that will be given by author Denise Dubois during the Advanced Education Conference Program at Face & Body Midwest® on March 9, 2013. For more information, log on to www.FaceandBody.com/midwest.
Compensation is a combination of what you pay your employees plus the benefits you provide. The right benefits program not only allows you to maintain profitability, but it helps distinguish your business and its services from the competition.
The majority of skin care facilities operate using a straight commission compensation plan, paying between 35–65% on services. This involves skin care professionals being paid a percentage of their gross sales for the work they performed during a certain period of time. Decisions for raises are often based on emotions when feeling pressured, especially if the request comes from a busy service provider. In many situations, service providers are caught feeling stagnant with no motivation to change the way they do business. This can lead to poor morale and high turnover. It is not uncommon for service providers to earn low wages and, ultimately, leave the industry all together. Many owners are losing the battle with unnecessary profit losses and a lack of accountability for their team in meeting performance goals.
Fair and equitable
It is important to have a pay structure that is fair and equitable for you as a business owner, as well as for your team. Offering a performance-based pay structured system benefits both parties. It's easy for service providers to get caught in a rut and put the blame on everyone else for their books not being busy. "The receptionist didn't book me," "The owner doesn't advertise," "Our location is bad" ... the excuses can go on and on. However, when you provide a structured plan for increased income—as well as what service providers have to do to get there—it shares the responsibility of growing professionally and definitely gets them engaged in their own growth. Now there is a career path that puts them in control. For the owner, having a structured system and setting goals takes the pressure off because compensation decisions are tied into productivity that you can both monitor and measure. It's based on real numbers and progress—not emotions.
How to do it
Organize goals based on each department within your facility: esthetics, nails, body therapy and front desk. All service providers can have the same goals, while the support staff has a separate set of goals. They have the same pre-booking targets, but they also have gift card sales goals, upgrade/add-on goals—to fill empty time slots, and retail goals. Each department can be given four monthly targets for advancement in pay, as well as a retail goal to maximize their earning potential.

The Lisp has run it's course and this will be its final month, so get ready for some mammoth posts, because I intend to go out with a motherfucking BANG! In about a month's time, I will have been blogging for 6 years. SIX. Years. Oy.
Long gone are the days of personal insights, recaps and reviews, and social commentary. I haven't written anything of substance in I don't know how long.
I've enjoyed sharing my various mix tapes, In-A-Madonna Moods with you and all the HUMP!y men --and their asses!
First and foremost, thanks to YOU, the regular subscribers of The Lisp!
Your views, links and so on consistently have kept my weekly "hit average" up.
Thanks to the bloggers who linked me, blogrolled me, submitted pics, commented, criticized, celebrated with me and condemned me...I appreciate the love in all its forms.
Thanks to everyone who blogrolled and link-listed me! I'm so glad y'all saw something 'round here that you felt would fit in on your blogs.
Thank you to the following people for contributing time, expertise and gayness to The Lisp:
Shaun Proulx, Jules Lieff & FitOrganix, Joe Oppedisano, Les Sterling, Joey/Flyfoto, Ray Seitz, Cazwell, Bryan Slater, Todd Sanfield, and Jakub Stefano. Your contributions were invaluable and I'll always appreciate what you shared here.
Now, this doesn't have to be a sad day...The Lisp's tumblr site (digital binge/digital purge) will stay alive for now. At least until I can bring myself to delete the hundreds, maybe thousands, of images in my computer.
I can't just go cold turkey, ya know.
Thanks ever so!

I am cross posting this, as i am not sure where i should post it.
On the martial artist lily chen, when does she gain the listed stamina/sanity gains? She has a focus of 2 stops, and when her stamina/sanity increases she gains 1 point of stamina or sainity. Does that resolve after each "stop" during the slider move, so she could technically move the slider one stop to left, gain 1 stamina, then move the slider 1 stop to the right, and gain one sanity? Or does the listed sanity/stamina gains only kick in at the end of the slider movement phase, once both of her focus has been resolved, and we calculate the end net result of what increased or decreased?

We all depend on care services at some time in our lives – at home; in hospitals, clinics or GP surgeries; in community and residential settings. This key introductory OU level 1 module provides an authoritative overview of health and social care, with real-life case studies taking you deep into the experience of receiving care and working in care services. It has also been written for those new to university study and will help you develop the learning skills needed for degree study. Whether you're involved in care work (paid or unpaid), use services yourself, or simply have a general interest, this module will help you to build knowledge and understanding, develop skills, and prepare for further study.
OU qualifications are modular in structure; the credits from this undergraduate-level module could count towards a certificate of higher education, diploma of higher education, foundation degree or honours degree.

Care is constantly in the headlines because it involves such a huge workforce huge budgets, and profoundly affects so many lives. And what makes it such a fascinating subject to study is the pace of change as society develops, technology advances and new forms of care evolve. This broad module about the nature of modern caring is lively and accessible and for anyone with an interest in how our society provides care services.
If you work in the frontline of care or are seeking employment in this area, this module will build your confidence and skills, and give your career a boost. The module takes you into the lives of care workers and care service users through in-depth case studies, often brought to life through audio and video resources. The module books are written in clear, simple language and a friendly, thought-provoking style. It has frequent activities to set you thinking – drawing on your own ideas and experience to deepen your learning and help you understand the essentials of good practice. If you want to share your ideas, you can join online forums for dialogue with other students and our tutors. You will develop the academic skills needed to thrive at university through activities that are threaded through the module material. Your personal tutor will provide you with guidance and feedback on your academic skills. The module also teaches you, quickly and simply, how to use information and communication technology for study.
Block 1: paints a broad picture of care in the UK, ranging from the caring within families, to primary health care, acute care in hospitals and social care in the community. You will explore the diversity and sensitivity of care situations, the wide variety of modern care services, the interconnections between them and what it is like to care and to receive care.
Block 2: explores the impact of care needs and care services on people's sense of identity and self-worth. Care can make deep inroads into personal lives and life narratives, so it is essential that care workers are sensitive to this and provide appropriate support. They need skills in communication and in ways of group working, so that lives are enhanced by care, rather than damaged. It also asks how a community can respond to the needs of different groups of people. An in-depth case study of a neighbourhood renewal programme enables you to assess whether such schemes can improve people's health and wellbeing. You will also examine the work of services, agencies and carers against a background of rapid social change across the UK.
Block 3: explores the settings in which care takes place and is managed. You visit a wide variety of care environments, from domestic homes, to residential and hospital settings, exploring their physical, social and psychological impact and the extent to which they are enabling or disabling. You also consider how people become attached to places and what happens when they have to leave them.
Block 4: examines how care can go wrong and what individuals can do to try to prevent this. You explore the crucial role of record keeping and the challenges of preserving confidentiality in a busy workplace. You consider the pressure on care workers to be accountable, and you explore the roles of research evidence and protocols in ensuring high standards of care.
This module is a compulsory part of all OU professional programmes in health and social care. It is designed to provide a broad foundation of essential knowledge and skills for studies in the care field. It provides a thorough and supported programme to develop the skills of independent learning that all students require, particularly the skill of communicating effectively in writing.
If you pass the module you will be eligible for the Certificate in Health and Social Care, which is widely recognised by employers as an indication of your ability to understand the relationships between policy and practice, as well as engage with some of the very human issues associated with the world of health and social care.
This is one of a set of modules that together constitute an approved programme that leads to The Open University's social work degrees in England, Wales or Scotland.

It may also help you to gain recognition from a professional body.
