This shadow is nice, but it seems to be more sparkly than pigmented. I much prefer to have a pigmented base with some glimmer rather than sparkle with a hint of color. The lasting power is okay, but it helps to have a base. All in all, this shadow was okay, but I would not repurchase.
I love this color! I got it as a sample and can't wait to buy the full size the next time I order from Alima. It is a very sparkly medium to light sand color that suits my fancy and works quite well on my cool, pinkish skin when I need a little neutral shimmer. I foil it over the inner corner and center of my lid and then blend it with Alima's Pearluster Eyeshadow in Grace (applied in crease and outer v areas). It makes a very glamorous, but not overly dramatic, eye look- sultry yet simple and fun. The shimmer stays put ALL day and it doesn't crease and the color blends really well. I think it is one of the best Alima eyeshadow shades I've tried. It's really quite gorgeous.

Paris is the lightest shade in the fall 2007 Fashion week set, a sparkly sand color in the jar. My immediate thought upon opening the jar was that Paris looks an awful lot like MAC Coco pigment but with some slightly larger shimmer particles (not glitter though). I was concerned that I would experience major shimmer fallout with this shade, but over UDPP it stays put quite nicely. In comparing the two, when used dry Paris is a bit lighter and more neutral (beige) whereas Coco has a stronger grey/taupe tone. The larger shimmer particles in Paris gives it more of a "brightening" effect when Coco when applied with a dry brush. When applied wet, Paris takes on more of a taupe tone (less beige) but it is still a touch lighter and less "taupey" than Coco. Also, the larger sparkle particles in Paris become basically unnoticeable when used wet. I marked that I would not buy this product again simply because I now have a full jar of Coco pigment and a full jar of Paris eyeshadow -- I will not need another neutral eyeshadow for a long, long time! BUT, if you missed out on Coco or found it a bit too dark or cool-toned then you should definitely check out Paris. It is a very nice eye-brightening shade and somewhat more versatile than Coco since it is a wee bit lighter and more beige. The lasting power and blendability of Alima's shimmer eyeshadows has been excellent for me over UDPP as a base.

I am a new gardener. The butternut squash patch seems to be doing well. I picked 2 that seemed to be huge, a nice tannish yellow color and firm. However when I got in from the blinding sun, I realized that they actually still had green stripes. They have been sitting in a sunny window for a week. Question: can I eat them even if they are not quite ripe. I'm particularly intrested in making Squash soup. Butternut squash cooked together with other root veggies and fruit makes a delicious soup. Would this be safe to eat? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, perfectly safe to eat Butternut squash at any stage of development. The flavor might not be the best, but then again it might be quite good. |
I think I have also read that the squash tastes better after it has been cured a while. Not sure if this applies to one that's not fully ripened, but it might be worth a shot. On the other side of that equation is the fact that early picks don;t keep as well. So, I'd give it some time to sit, but not too much. Dontcha hate all this ambiguous advice? :-) |
Thanks so much for the helpful advice. I will let them (there are 2)sit a few more days and then on to soup right from the earth in my backyard. I am so excited. I see 6 more developing but I will use a pair of younger eyes to look before I pick them. |
It really does depend on whether you plan to store them. For storage, leave them on the vine as long as possible. For immediate consumption, pick them whenever you want to eat squach. It's better to pick and use the younger fruits than try to store them while still immature. |
- Posted by penguinsrock09 5 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 3, 12 at 21:40
They're definitely sweeter the longer you leave them on the vine itself. I've picked a few at the stage you described and they were still very tasty just not as sweet as they could've been. However, they'll work great still in soup! |

This is the new look irishmedals.org site, the information is the same as the old one. If you click on the main heading on the left more links will appear under it relating to that heading.
The site contains information relating to the people who fought in the 1916 Rising, War of Independence, Civil War, Irishmen in World War 1 and other snippets of information relating to these and other conflicts.
While information for the site and corrections are gratefully received please submit your information with supporting proof.
The Pensions Application records of those who took part in the 1916 Rising War of Independence and Civil War is now on line.
Irish Military Archives
If you search the Military Archive but do not find your relative it does not mean they did not take part, some people who took part did not apply for a pension, and some had moved to other countries or may have died.
Below the image is some basic information on researching people who fought in the above conflicts. The links page also contains links to various resources which may be helpful in your research. You can use the email link at the bottom of this page to contact me with queries, please supply as much supporting information as you can, it may take a few days to get back to you but I will try to answer all queries submitted.
If you are researching someone who took part in the 1916 Rising, War of Independence, Civil War, Free State Army or served in the Irish Defence Forces the first thing you should do is write to the Officer in Charge at the Military Archive at the address below and request a copy of your ancestor's pension application, it can take some time to receive, the quickest time from first inquiry to receiving the copy of the pension application was 4 months the longest was 2 and a half years.
Officer in Charge, Military Archives, Cathal Brugha Barracks, Rathmines, Dublin 6.
The same applies as you go down column A, the various dates in column A match the various events for which your ancestor could claim they served ranging from interment after the Rising up to the beginning of the Free State. Your ancestor could claim service with the Anti-Treaty side in the Civil War.
If you believe your ancestor took part in the 1916 Rising but their pension application was not approved I think it is still possible to have their name added to the official list of participants if you can provide proof. The last time I submitted a name was about twelve years ago and at that time the list was maintained by the National Archive of Ireland which is in Bishops Street Dublin. From experience I have found the things that are not accepted as proof of having served during the Rising are:

National datasets
MICS2 has put greater efforts in not only properly documenting the results published in the MICS2 country reports, but also to maximize the use of micro data sets via documentation and dissemination. For those MICS2 countries that granted UNICEF direct access to the micro data sets and documentation, a rigorous process was completed to ensure internal and external consistency, basic standards of data quality, corresponding documentation and, standardization of variable and value labels across countries.
For each country four SPSS data files were produced, corresponding to the four main units of analysis: households, household members, women in reproductive age (15-49 years of age) and children under the age of five. An additional Word file contains basic characteristics of the data such as year of the survey, sample sizes, weights, dictionary of variables and labels, and any existing limitations of the data files.
Below, you will find datasets for some selected countries. Although the format for the data sets is SPSS, these are compressed using WINZIP to facilitate their transfer.
Access to these datasets is restricted. The data may not be used for purposes other than those expressed in the application form and may not be redistributed or passed on to others in any form.

Three of five Winona County Board members would like to take back the authority to hire department heads and other key county personnel, after that power was relinquished to the County Administrator in October 2010. All that is left is to determine the details of the new policy, which is expected to be modeled after the procedure used in Winona County in 2004.
Board members, who discussed the issue on Tuesday during a strategic planning session, are expected to formalize the new hiring policy in July. A slim majority of board members Marcia Ward, Steve Jacob and Board Chair Wayne Valentine are expected to vote in favor of the change, with commissioners Greg Olson and Jim Pomeroy voicing firm opposition.
"They continually say we need more board oversight," said Valentine of his constituents' opinion on the board's taking control of department head hiring, a sentiment echoed by other board members in favor of the plan.
Pomeroy said he feared that the change would politicize the hiring process, and that county administration had the skills needed to hire the

July 24, 2013 (NY Daily News) -- Former President George H. W. Bush shaved his head Wednesday as a show of solidarity with a 2-year-old-boy who is battling leukemia.
The boy, named Patrick, is the son of one of the members of Bush's security detail. He had lost most of his hair due to his cancer treatments, a Bush spokesman said.
Bush, 89, got the idea to shave his head to show his support after he noticed that several members of his Secret Service detail, known as the Bush Protective Division, had also shaved their heads in solidarity with Patrick.
A Bush spokesman also said that the former president had helped launch a website, www.patrickspals.org, to assist with Patrick's medical costs.
The cause for Bush's act is one close to his heart. The nation's 41st president and his wife Barbara Bush lost a daughter, Pauline, to leukemia in 1953, when she was just 4 years old.
Bush made headlines earlier this month when he attended a White House ceremony honoring his "Points of Light" volunteer program.

We remain committed to our goal of providing a structured, safe, 'home away from home' for your child.
We built three wings in our residential treatment center: one for boys 5-12 years of age; one for adolescent boys 13 through 17 years; and one for girls ages 5 through 17 years. We have taken every consideration to provide a safe, therapeutic environment for your child including special lighting, security cameras in public areas, and intensive clinical, behavioral, medical and psychiatric treatment. With a licensed capacity of 39 beds, Bernalillo Academy is accredited by The Joint Commission (TJC) and is licensed and certified by the New Mexico Department of Children, Youth and Families (CYFD).
Our doors first officially opened in April 2009 as a sub-acute residential treatment center to serve youth between the ages of 5 and 17 years who have not achieved success in less restrictive clinical and community settings and children that demonstrate a need for a highly structured environment with 24 hour care to provide safety, security and stability. Bernalillo Academy serves children with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder, Developmental Delays, Neurobehavioral Challenges and Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Round the clock nursing care provides a high level of medical care for those with medical needs.
In 2011, under new ownership of the highly accredited, national, privately owned company: Sequel Youth and Family Services, a strong new management team was developed.

SRAM Supercork Bar Tape Yellow
SRAM SUPERCORK BAR TAPE FEATURES:Cork: dependable, comfortable, and classic.
Supercork is SRAM's take on a mainstay material for all-purpose bar tape.
Buying Guide: Handlebar Tape
When it comes to road cycling, it's all about your contact points. Stiff, rigid bikes, long miles and the occasional bad bit of road surfacing can ruin your day without the right equipment. Sometimes overlooked, the right choice of handlebar tape can make all the difference. Having come a long way from the slick, thin, uncomfortable wraps of the past - bar tape now comes in literally millions of styles, colours and materials. Below is a quick guide to help you navigate through all these options and help you pick the best bar tape for your particular needs.
A quick search for bar tape will undoubtedly yield thousands of options; most can be easily grouped into a few distinct categories, described below.
Cork Tape
The most common type of tape, cork is renowned for its vibration and moisture absorption qualities. Cork also holds up well under extended use, making it a strong all round option. If you ride a road bike then you are probably already familiar with cork based tapes as it comes standard on most new bikes. Easily the most versatile type of tape, cork is preferable as your fix and forget option.
Koo Pick: SRAM Supercork Bar Tape
Gel Tape
Designed as a more comfortable alternative to regular tapes, gel tape focuses on soaking up vibration and taking the sting out of the traditionally harsh feel of a road bike. While it can be slightly heavier and bulkier than regular tapes, if maximum comfort is your goal, this is the tape for you.
Koo Pick: SRAM SuperSport Bar Tape
Micro-Fibre Tape
A new take on an old classic, mirco-fibre tapes are meant to emulate the old leather tapes of the past without sacrificing the grip and performance of more contemporary tape options. Mirco-fibre is also lighter than cork and gel options, making it a great choice for those really looking to shave the maximum possible weight off their bike.
Koo Pick: PRO Micro-Fibre Bar Tape
Carbon Tape
The newest invention in the bar tape world, carbon infused tape focuses on increasing the strength and grip of traditional cork tape. Carbon tape is particularly desirable as it is easily reusable and can be rewrapped multiple times without tearing. Where your standard cork and gel tapes can rip and come apart when being removed, carbon based tapes will last considerably longer and can survive being transferred to new bars.
Koo Pick: PRO Digital Carbon Bar Tape
Bar Tape Extras
Gel Inserts. For the true long haul cyclists, your Audax riders, touring specialists and super sportivers sometimes standard bar tape isn't enough. For those looking for that extra comfort, gel inserts can be purchased and place under your bar tape as an extra layer. While this will increase the bulkiness of the handlebar the extra padding can make the difference on harsher, longer rides.
Handlebar Plugs. Every set of bar tape will come with two small plugs to fit into the end of your handlebars, keeping the tape from unravelling. Usually a standard black plastic with some sort of brand logo, bar plugs are almost always overlooked. However on rougher surfaces such as gravel these small plugs can vibrate loose and fall out. A quick solution is screw on plugs which will expand in the bar for a much more secure fit. These can especially useful for cyclocross riders.

Midge-hunting scientists tackle spread of devastating bluetongue virus
7 August 2008
Scientists at the BBSRC-funded Institute for Animal Health (IAH) are stepping up the battle against the devastating and economically damaging bluetongue virus. By combining ingenious ways to trap and monitor midges with cutting edge computer modelling and weather predictions the IAH team are gaining an understanding of how the insects spread the disease so that they can improve surveillance methods and advise farmers how and when to protect their animals.
Video transcript - Video and audio help - Watch video on YouTube
The scientists are collecting data on midge numbers and biting behaviour from midge-hunting expeditions in southern England. They incorporate this with meteorological data from Met Office colleagues to develop complex mathematical models that can be used to establish under what weather conditions the midges are mostly likely to be flying around and when they are most likely to be giving disease-spreading bites to farm animals. This will allow the team, led by Dr Simon Carpenter, to advise farmers when it is safest to move susceptible animals and also examine how stabling of animals can be used where logistically possible to reduce the chance of infectious midge bites. They will also use this data to establish best practice for use of insecticides and timing of vaccination of animals against this economically important and difficult to control disease.
Lead researcher Dr Simon Carpenter said: "These experiments are vital – it's about knowing your enemy. Last year, in northern Europe, bluetongue cost over £95 million in direct losses alone. And while indirect losses in the UK last year were considerable, we have yet to experience the full effects of a BTV outbreak as has been seen on the continent. A major 2008 outbreak could bring huge hardship both to directly affected farmers and, if vaccination coverage is poor, to those living in neighbouring movement restriction zones. Hence it is vital that, firstly, as many farmers vaccinate their stock as possible and secondly, we collect basic data to understand how these outbreaks occur and what can be done to slow their progress. We have to think to ourselves: "when are the midges going to be active and what can we do to put a barrier between our livestock and these midges?" We will use our models to advise on best practice for measures such as stabling, insecticide use and vaccination, to control the spread of bluetongue virus."
The team has developed two methods to monitor the flying and biting behaviour of the Culicoides midge that spreads the disease, under particular weather conditions. The first uses a large net of known volume mounted on top of a 4x4 truck, which is driven through grazing land. By driving at a constant speed of 20mph over a known distance the scientists can precisely calculate the volume of air passing through the net and therefore calculate the number of Culicoides midges per cubic metre of air. All of the insects caught in the net are taken back to the lab to sort out the Culicoides midges from other insects, including different midge species.
The second method focuses on the biting rate of the midges and uses a large muslin tent, the walls of which are lowered around a penned grazing sheep after an exposure period of ten minutes. The scientists then enter the tented area and collect any midges that have landed on the walls and ceiling of the tent as well as examining the sheep for any further biting individuals. These midges can then be analysed in the lab to establish which species is carrying out the biting.
Dr Carpenter continued: "The benefit of these techniques is that, until very recently, midge surveillance relied upon the use of light traps that sometimes do not represent what is happing on animals particularly well. Using these two techniques we can more easily understand the relationship between weather conditions and both background midge activity and biting attacks, and also predict the level of risk at different times of the year. These models can then be used along with weather forecasting to advise farmers as to when Culicoides populations are most active and to develop best practice for controlling the spread of the midges and the virus itself.
"All of this work contributes to the aims for better knowledge about Culicoides that were set out in the European Food Safety Authority's 'Scientific Opinion on Bluetongue' published a couple of weeks ago."
Kevin Pearce, National Farmers Union, said: "Bluetongue is a terrible disease of ruminant livestock. Our farmers have worked hard to contain this virus in the infected areas of the south east and East Anglia through vaccination and vigilance but we know that we couldn't have achieved this without the effort and knowledge of the scientists at IAH. Bluetongue shares its transmission vector - the midge - with other exotic, but equally serious, diseases such as African Horse Sickness so any knowledge and understanding of the midges' behaviour and breeding patterns are welcome. We wish the experts at IAH success in their endeavours with this project."

Notes to editors
- What is bluetongue?
- Bluetongue is a viral disease that can infect all ruminant animals, including sheep, cattle, deer and goats.
- Sheep are most likely to be severely affected by bluetongue and although cattle do not often show symptoms they are the most important harbour for the virus.
- Humans do not get bluetongue.
- The symptoms of bluetongue vary between species but it is generally characterised by a high fever, excessive salivation, nasal discharges, swelling of the head and neck and sometimes discolouration of the tongue.
- Although bluetongue does not always kill an animal, those that survive can suffer long-term effects such as sterility and reduced muscle mass (and therefore reduced meat production).
- How is the virus transmitted?
- Bluetongue virus is transmitted by a small number of biting midge species, all of which belong to the genus Culicoides. When a vector midge bites an infected animal it takes the virus on board with it's blood meal, the virus infects and multiplies in the midge and may be transmitted to the next animal it bites.
- The virus is rarely transmitted directly between animals, though venereal transmission has been recorded and there is growing evidence to suggest that an infected mother may pass the virus across the placenta to her unborn offspring. Defra also does not rule out the possibility that the virus could be transmitted within or between flocks by unhygienic husbandry or veterinary practices.
- History of bluetongue virus in the UK
- Bluetongue was first detected in the UK on 22 September 2007.
- Since the arrival of bluetongue virus in the UK Defra has used protection and surveillance zones to monitor and control the spread of the disease.
- There is currently a Protection Zone in place that covers all of the South and East of England as well as the Midlands and parts of North East England and South Wales. Animals can only be moved out of the Protection Zone if they are vaccinated, naturally immune or moving for slaughter, subject to meeting certain conditions.
- How is the disease detected, treated, or controlled?
- Animals may be diagnosed following observation of typical symptoms by a vet but confirmation is always required by testing of a blood sample in the laboratory.
- Bluetongue is confirmed in an area once there is evidence that the virus is circulating between animals and midges within that area.
- There is no cure for bluetongue though palliative treatment (keeping the animal under cover, unstressed and providing soft food) can be beneficial.
- Because the virus is so rarely passed directly between animals there is usually no need to cull infected animals.
- There is a vaccine in use against the particular type of bluetongue virus that is circulating in the UK.
- Midge populations can be controlled to some extent using insecticides or by reducing the availability of breeding sites (e.g. standing water).

Lauren Weinstein Archives - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
The Jewish women of comics get graphic
Everyone knows the central role that Jewish writers and artists have played in the history of comics, from Siegel and Shuster to Lee and Kirby to Eisner to Spiegelman to Bendis. But what of the female members of the tribe? That's the question at the heart of "Graphic Details: Confessional Comics by Jewish Women," a traveling art exhibit curated by Michael Kaminer and Sarah Lightman. Following a stint in San Francisco, the show re-opens this coming Thursday, February 17, at the Koffler Gallery Off-Site at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto. Focusing on the role that Jewish women have played in the development of the autobiographical comic — arguably the genre responsible for the medium's new-found respectability over the past three decades — it boasts contributions from Miss Lasko-Gross (that's her grabber of an image above) Vanessa Davis, Sarah Glidden, Miriam Katin, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Diane Noomin, Trina Robbins, Ariel Schrag, Lauren Weinstein, and many more. I know a person named "Sean T. Collins" is dubiously qualified to use Yiddish, but I could plotz over seeing original art from that line-up.
Click here to see the Koffler Centre's impressive suite of events revolving around the exhibit, and click here for the Graphic Details blog.
It's not exactly Mickey Mouse buying Spider-Man, but it's fascinating news nonetheless: Indie publisher PictureBox Inc. will be selling digital versions of its comics and graphic novels through the iPhone comics app Panelfly. Available titles include C.F.'s Powr Mastrs Vols. 1 & 2, Frank Santoro's Storeyville, Lauren Weinstein's The Goddess of War #1, and Yuichi Yokoyama's Travel. Panelfly's other publishers include indie outfits NBM and SLG.
That even PictureBox — the artiest of the artcomix publishers, known for envelope-pushing material, extremely high production values, and a publishing line that straddles the comics and fine-art worlds — is going digital says a whole lot about the industry's perceived need to get a foot in that particular door, not to mention about PictureBox's willingness to seek out an audience outside of the traditional art/alt/underground comics venues.

Where oh where did this summer go? I can't believe tomorrow is the last day of August. Yesterday I took a walk about with my camera so I thought I'd share my morning walk with you.
Although the daylilies are done the driveway garden still offers lots of color and texture. The containers are so great for end of season color.
The large urn has completely filled in and is so pretty against the Sambucus
These little evergreens and heathers provide color and structure when all the herbaceous perennials have died back.
The Purple Emperor Sedum is wonderful against the Sambucus
This fuchsia standard is a couple years old now
I'm thinking of expanding the mailbox garden and planting one of these Miscanthus Morning Light there this fall. I'll see how much energy I have left after tucking all the tender plants away for the winter.
I'm loving this Fuchsia Golden Marenka hope to be able to winter them over this year. I picked up four plants on sale at the Keene, NH flower show in the spring and they've really done well for me this summer.
This Fuchsia Billy Greene has absolutely outdone itself this year.
And behind the Billy Green is this lovely plant, Fuchsia Sunray
You can see my garden helper's feet under the urn. I guess he didn't want to have his face up on the internet. Deanne |

Very pretty Deanne. Your Fuschias are so nice. Do you have to keep them deadheaded. I could see where that would eat up a lot of your time. They just don't like it here. The driveway garden looks great in all seasons. You sure have that planned well. Norma P.S. I see you have your Purple Emperor corralled. Mine sprawled so I guess I will have to try that next year. |
Thanks Norma, yes, believe it or not I DO deadhead the fuchsias almost every day. And it does eat up a lot of time. I used those "Y" stakes to 'corral' up the Purple Emperor. Deanne |
- Posted by martieinct Z6 nrthn CT (My Page) on Fri, Sep 1, 06 at 7:52
Wow, wow, and wow. I'm happy I got two fushia to survive in hanging pots :-) Off the fushia track .. what is the white edged crinkly leaved plant with the Abutilon and Impomea. A Geranium of some sort? Mart |
The "End of August" is still beautiful at your house. I am too envious to even comment on the fuchsia! LOL |
- Posted by michelle_zone4 zone 4 NW IA (My Page) on Fri, Sep 1, 06 at 10:28
I should be taking notes. You have so much late season interest in your driveway garden. My raised rock bed is pretty blah right now. How old is your sambucus? It is nice sized already. Your fuschias are out of this world. Michelle |
Deanne, that driveway garden is just spectacular. So many interesting forms and textures. And the way the ground covers soften the driveways edge looks so nice. I cut back some of my sedums as an experiment in June and it worked well for me. The ones I did are so full and no flopping. They haven't bloomed yet but will soon which is fine with me. Anything blooming late in the season I'm happy about. Yours looks so nice there in front of the sambucus. I know I say this everytime I see them but I just can't believe the way you have with fuschias. I'm not giving up but I'd be happy if mine looked half as good as yours. I'm going to give overwintering mine a try. I love the standard too. Maybe someday I'll be able to have one. For now my coleus standards are coming along. Much easier to grow those I do believe. Everything looks just great. It's so nice to see such a beautiful garden this late in the summer. Thanks! Eden |
Thanks all Yes Martie that is a geranium. Marian, I keep telling you that you'd do very well with some of these upright fuchsias. Let me know any time you change your mind. They are a lot easier than many of the hanging ones. Michelle, this is my third year with that Sambucus. It really has gotten some size to it this year. Eden, I pinched back several of my sedums this year also and am very happy with the result. The ones I didn't pinch are flopping now and the ones I did are like you described, full and just about ready to bloom. I'd love to see a pic of the coleus standards you are working on. I started one with 'Dragon's Claw' and it is just about ready to be pinched for the first time now. I highly recommend wintering over your fuchsias. Next year they will be twice the size and have twice the number of flowers. |

I don't want to be a downer......but in the past, we've had lots of discussions about how unhealthy a pond is to humans. There are potentially so many kinds of bacteria in there. Hopefully, she doesn't do this often (or ever again). But.....she is very cute! |

Well, that Little Mermaid isn't the only one that likes to get into the pond. She looks to be having a little more fun. I get into mine about once a week for maintenance on my waterlily, trimming leaves and such. Very cute. |

Well, Catherine, I was going to let it go, but I just can't. It bothers me that someone thinks I would put my own children at risk. I happen to be a medical doctor (a surgeon) and a PhD. I have also studied and worked in the public health sector and have published university level research in public health and epidemiology. While I don't consider myself an expert in ponding - hence my time trolling this board - I do consider myself an expert in health and wellness. It's what I do every day, and have done every day, for the last 28 years of my life. Over that time I have been presented with, diagnosed and treated pretty much every human disease there is to see, first hand. I also know how serious even minor conditions can become if left untreated or ignored. I am risk-cognizant myself and will teach that same concept to my children when they are older. For my children now, though, I am very risk-adverse. I would never risk the health and well-being of my children, under any conditions. And your suggestion that I have done so is quite irritating to me and, in my opinion, erroneous. Quite frankly, it is simply ludicrous to suggest that there is a potential health implication from being in a backyard pond, particularly one with ample water flow, aeration and plenty of sunlight. I would venture to guess that there is a greater risk of slipping, falling and hitting your head on a rock in your pond then there is in wading in it. That being said, if you feel that there is risk in *your* children being in a pond then, by all means, keep them out. But, don't begin to tell me what to do with *my* children when I am fairly confident I understand the potential risks better than you. Regards, |

A rare intersection of music, film, dance and language runs Friday-Sunday, April 11-13 in the Martha B. Knoebel Dance Theater when CSULB's Opera Institute raises the curtain on Claudio Monteverdi's "L'Orfeo."
CSULB's College of the Arts joins forces with the Department of Music and the Opera Institute for those three days to present the historic production sung in Italian with English supertitles. Admission is $25 or $15 for students with valid ID.
The pioneering opera will be performed at 8 p.m. on April 11, at 4 and 8 p.m. on April 12 and at 4 p.m. on April 13. A "Meet the Artists" reception sponsored by the Graziadio Center for Italian Studies will be held on April 12, following the 8 p.m. performance.
Events accompanying the production will include several lectures sponsored by the Medieval-Renaissance Studies Center including UCSB's William Prizer on "The Mantua of `L'Orfeo,'" Ivan Schulman on "The Castrato Singer," as well as UCLA's Shane Butler on "Why Did Orpheus Look Back?" on March 10, sponsored by the Graziadio Center. A panel titled "Producing 'Orfeo,'" featuring Music's David Anglin and Thor Steingraber with members of the cast and orchestra will be held on Monday, April 7, at 3 p.m. in the Gerald R. Daniel Recital Hall. Music's Kristine Forney is teaching a class in connection with the production under the title "To Hell and Back: The Orpheus Myth and Early Opera."
"`L'Orfeo' is considered by many to be the first opera," said Anglin, who joined the university in 2005. "It is certainly one of the earliest operas to remain in the standard repertoire. I'm especially pleased with our collaboration with the Dance Department and that the work will be performed in the Martha B. Knoebel Theater, which is a gorgeous space. This production will use all the resources in the Opera Institute."
The mission of the Opera Institute is to cultivate operatic singers by recruiting the finest young artists and providing them with full-tuition scholarships. Internationally renowned coaches and directors produce performances of quality on top sets, in top costumes and under expert lighting. Alumni include such stars as Arlene Auger and Marvellee Cariaga and young singers currently serving internships at major opera companies across the country.
The Opera Institute is unique within a major institution because undergraduate students have the opportunity to perform leading roles, Anglin explained. "It is not uncommon for outstanding singers at other universities to go through four years of university without being cast in a starring role," he said.
"From a historical point of view, it is a terribly important opera," said Forney, who joined the university in 1978 and teaches the accompanying class. She points with pride to the March 19 screening of the 1959 Brazilian film "Black Orpheus" in the Gerald R. Daniel Recital Hall with an introduction by Carlo Chiarenza of the Graziadio Center. "Even though there are companies that perform his opera, it is still very much a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see it here," she said. "Even those who have seen it once rarely have a chance to see it again. This is their opportunity. "The Opera Institute has voice faculty, many of whom have sung at the Metropolitan Opera, Covent Garden, the Paris Opera, the San Francisco Opera and the LA Opera. Past productions include "The Marriage of Figaro," "The Medium," "Dido and Aeneas," "The Impresario," "La Calisto," "Don Pasquale," "Signore Deluso" and "Die Fledermaus."
CSULB's choral ensembles have performed in Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, China, New Zealand, Hawaii, the Pacific Northwest and Florida. They have been invited to perform for four national conventions of the American Choral Director's Association as well as for the Music Educator's National Convention and the World Conference on Choral Music in Amsterdam.

Corsair doesn't give you much to go with on the front of the box. A few bullet points tell you the unit is fully modular and quiet. Also present is the 80 PLUS Platinum logo in the lower right hand corner.
Moving around to the back, we find several pieces of useful information here and in many languages, too. At the top we have a decent connector list, but it doesn't specify how many cables there are, just connector quantity and overall cable length.
Also pictured on the left side are two charts. One is for the efficiency of the unit while the other is for the fan. As you can see from the chart, this is one of the reasons that Corsair claims the power supply to be quiet since the fan doesn't even kick on till 70% load. Finally, we have the I/O specifications in the bottom right corner.
Both sides and the top are blank other than the AX760 logo.
The bottom gives us a few more pieces of information, including the dimensions. Also shown on the right side is quick overall comparison of all the Corsair power supplies.

MOSCOW -- Rosneft will become the leader of a Russian consortium that runs the Junin-6 oil block in Venezuela, a project being developed in partnership with Petroleos de Venezuela,a spokeswoman for the Russian company said.
Petroleos de Venezuela will remain the majority shareholder, with 60% of the project, Venezuela Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez explained in a press conference held in Caracas with Rosneft President Igor Sechin, who led a delegation of Russian executives to the South American country. Rosneft agreed last week to buy out another Russian company' s stake in the National Oil Consortium, a group of Russian companies that holds a 40% stake in the project in Venezuela' s Orinoco Belt. Rosneft now owns 40% of the consortium, while Lukoil, Gazprom Neft and TNK-BP each hold 20%. The venture aims to produce 450,000 bopd at peak production in 2018.
Separately, Rosneft is buying TNK-BP from BP and its partners in deals worth $55 billion. Mr. Sechin said that with new acquisitions of PdVSA' s Russian partners, Rosneft will begin the creation of a new headquarters in Caracas to oversee projects in Venezuela and around the region.
Petroleos de Venezuela signed MoU with its Russian counterparts to explore offshore gas and oil projects, as well as possibly draft a supply deal for oilfield drills. Mr. Ramirez said that Petroleos de Venezuela immediately needs three drills and the idea is to eventually get more from Russian parties. "Russian companies are taking a strong interest in Venezuela," said Mr. Sechin. In turn, Mr. Ramirez called the Rosneft executive "a friend of the country."
As part of its ambitious plans to drastically raise crude output in coming years, Venezuela' s Oil Ministry expects its Russian joint ventures to start pumping out a total of 930,000 bopd by 2019. The plans will require $46.9 billion in investment over the next six years, of which $17.6 billion will come from the Russian partners, Mr. Ramirez said. "We' re going to finance this in a direct way," Mr. Sechin told reporters, adding that he didn' t have preference for seeking financing from Russian or foreign banks.

This recipe is scripture in the kitchen at my store - versitile, healthy, lightly sweet, very filling, and of course tasty.

Hands on Use
Now we get to my favorite part of the review, hands on use. The MSI GX740 is a dead sexy little number. It has Ferrari red trim with real black brushed aluminum panels. The brushed aluminum is on the lid of the notebook and on the palm rest area. The track pad is differentiated well from the wrist rest and the two mouse buttons are easy to find even though they are only separated from the wrist rest by squiggly red lines cut in the aluminum of the wrist rest. The buttons are easy to press and work well.
The keyboard MSI uses I am not very fond of. The keys are big, it has nice tactile feel, and a full number pad, but the right shift key is tiny. A weirdly shaped right shift key is a pet peeve of mine since I spam that key leaving the left shift key unused. I often ended up hitting the up arrow when typing quickly rather then the shift key, which is all out annoying. The important WASD keys are marked with a red background to make them easier to see, as long as there is light anyway.
Above the F keys and below the LCD are a full range of touch controls for media playback and other functions. The keys are easy enough to use, even if a bit hard to see. That big 17-inch screen is fantastic for watching movies and video or just working thanks to its high resolution. Glare is an issue, but that is something we have to live with on 99% of the notebooks on the market today.
All the video I watched on the MSI GX740 was silky smooth and showed not a single stutter no matter how fast the action was on screen. The ATI HD 5870 makes child's play of streaming video in windowed or full screen modes. The HDMI output also means you can watch on your big screen. Considering the output will be used on a TV most likely, I like the fact that MSI put the video outputs on the rear of the machine. It makes things look cleaner when you are hooked to the TV in the living room since you don't see the cables as much.
I don't get to say this very often, the sound system on the MSI GX740 is actually decent. The dual speakers on the front have plenty of volume for loud rooms and the small subwoofer on the bottom of the notebook puts more bass into the sound that you get on other notebooks, making this a nice machine for media and gaming.

Past student testimonials:
"Chana is a fantastic teacher who knows Illustrator like the back of her hand, maybe better. She is very patient and can answer any question you have. She can explain a concept in five different ways, if necessary. I would recommend her as a teacher to anyone!"
Katherine Cresto
"Eva was a wonderful teacher and incredibly knowledgeable. She knows Illustrator inside and out and was very helpful with applying real world things she has used it for. I had no clue how much I really didn't know about Illustrator and am excited to go to work tomorrow and apply the new things I have learned to my job! Thank you!"
Jennifer Demmitt - Wiscon Corp/Caputo Cheese
"Beverly is a fabulous teacher who moves at a perfect pace - slow enough to learn and critically think about each step, but not too slow where it's wasted time. I would highly recommend her to someone who is in need of a refresher course, or even someone who has never touched an Adobe product!"
Kristen Thies - St. Baldrick's Foundation
"This was my third class with Eva at the Training Connection. As with the previous two courses, she proved to be extremely knowledgeable, patient and helpful. The materials provided with the course are very helpful, too.
I am also impressed with the Chicago facilities and receptionist staff. Everything/one was very professional and kind. Thank you! I will recommend TC to others. It was well worth it!"
Heather L. Jencks - Strategic Ascent, Inc.
"This is the second course I have taken with Chana and it was the best by far. Illustrator was a program I thought I knew. She opened new avenues to doing work more efficiently and effectively."

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 475 - 27 February, 1997 Written Answers. - Poultry Contamination. Mr. J. Walsh Mr. J. Walsh 152. Mr. J. Walsh asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if his attention has been drawn to recent media reports of salmonella contamination in poultry meat and the consequent loss of markets; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5553/97] Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry (Mr. Yates) Ivan Yates Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry (Mr. Yates): I presume the Deputy is referring to Irish exports of poultrymeat to Sweden. Exports to Sweden and to other member states of the European Union take place from EU approved premises in respect of which my Department provides a veterinary inspection and certification service. These exports are accompanied by veterinary health certificates in conformity with the relevant Council Directive. There are specific testing requirements for salmonella for Finland and Sweden and veterinary certificates for exports to these destinations are issued following receipt by the Department of satisfactory salmonella microbiological results. The Swedish authorities have been in contact with my Department regarding consignments exported to Sweden in recent months. These consignments were exported with the appropriate veterinary certification. However, a detailed trace-back on the product involved is being undertaken by my Department.

Cervical Spine Strain
Cervical spine strain is when the tissues and muscles in your neck are stretched. It is called whiplash because it happens when your neck is quickly whipped forward and back. The pain may be sudden, or it may begin hours after the injury. Cervical spine strain is most commonly caused by a car accident or a contact sports injury.
- NSAIDs help decrease swelling and pain or fever. This medicine is available with or without a doctor's order. NSAIDs can cause stomach bleeding or kidney problems in certain people. If you take blood thinner medicine, always ask your healthcare provider if NSAIDs are safe for you. Always read the medicine label and follow directions.
- Acetaminophen: This medicine decreases pain. It is available without a doctor's order. Ask how much to take and how often to take it. Follow directions. Acetaminophen can cause liver damage if not taken correctly.
- Pain medicine: You may need medicine to take away or decrease pain.
- Learn how to take your medicine. Ask what medicine and how much you should take. Be sure you know how, when, and how often to take it.
- Do not wait until the pain is severe before you take your medicine. Tell caregivers if your pain does not decrease.
- Pain medicine can make you dizzy or sleepy. Prevent falls by calling someone when you get out of bed or if you need help.
- Learn how to take your medicine. Ask what medicine and how much you should take. Be sure you know how, when, and how often to take it.
- Muscle relaxers: This medicine helps relax your muscles. It is also given to decrease pain and muscle spasms.
- Take your medicine as directed. Call your healthcare provider if you think your medicine is not helping or if you have side effects. Tell him if you are allergic to any medicine. Keep a list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs you take. Include the amounts, and when and why you take them. Bring the list or the pill bottles to follow-up visits. Carry your medicine list with you in case of an emergency.
Soft collar:
You may need to wear a soft cervical collar to support your neck and hold it still. You may need to wear this collar for 7 to 10 days. By day 3, your primary healthcare provider may tell you to take the collar off for short periods of time. He may tell you to wear the collar less each day until you no longer need it.
- Rest: Avoid moving your neck as your injury heals. This will help decrease the risk of more damage to your neck. Gradually return to your normal activities. Stop if you have pain. Avoid activities that can cause more damage to your neck, such as heavy lifting or strenuous exercise.
- Ice: Ice your neck to help decrease swelling and pain. Put crushed ice in a plastic bag. Cover the ice bag with a towel and place it on your neck for 15 to 20 minutes every hour. Do this for as many days as directed.
- Sleep: Sleep without a pillow to help decrease pain. Instead of a pillow, you may roll a small towel tightly and place it under your neck.
Physical therapy:
You may need to see a physical therapist to teach you special exercises. These exercises help improve movement and decrease pain. Physical therapy can also help improve strength and decrease your risk for loss of function.
Contact your primary healthcare provider if:
- Your neck pain is getting worse.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
Seek care immediately or call 911 if:
- You have pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness of your arms, face, or scalp.
- You have shortness of breath, a hoarse voice, or problems swallowing.

Is there any way we can petition for SiriusXM to stream higher-quality mixes of these huge festivals? Or can we get DJs who plan on posting these sets to your SoundCloud pages to do some kind of line-in recording? I applaud R3hab for even sharing the set, but when the recording is so muddied with bass and crowd noise that we can barely tell what he's saying on the mic, or what tunes are being played, what's the point? We imagine this quality isn't much better than Re-Run's recording of that Doobie Brothers show. Rant over, but just know that DAD's listening… or trying to.

This is my go to polish for summer & one of my top nail polish colors of all time. It applies evenly for me without streaking. It is creamy & opaque in two coats. I find that it is very flattering for my skin tone, especially with a tan. I wear it on my toes a lot but I wear this on my fingers frequently in the summer. It is a beautiful pop of color. The price is great, often Barielle has a BOGO sale on their site. IMO you can't go wrong with most Barielle nail polish.

The previous reviewer described the colour very well, and I just want to add that the description of this shade on the Barielle site as "peach" is not accurate (it's definitely coral). I find the quality to be just OK - the brush is a bit flimsy, and though opaque, the formula is somewhat streaky, even with 2 coats. Looks better on the toes than on the fingers since you can't see the streaks as much from farther away LOL. Edited July 2012: I added a lippie b/c this colour really is very pretty on the toes, especially with a light tan.

Age: 44-55 Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Cool Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine Eyes: Blue
Blossom is a light to mid toned coral cream polish that is a great transition from pastel peach when neon coral isn't an option or desire. I'm very fair complected and this brightens me without being OTT trendy and isn't a dreaded orange toned peachy coral. Also there is no shimmer, just saturated creamy coral. Very elegant, very feminine, very ladylike. I get at least 1 wk w/o chips or tip wear and I always use Creative Stickey base coat and Barielle top coat. I already know this will be my signature summer polish. Highly recommended.

Mission Peak : Mission Peak District Roundtable
Updated January 7, 2013

Next Meeting: January 10, 2013
Future Dates: Calendar

One of the goals at Roundtable is to minimize the number of meetings you need to attend. Therefore, we try to hold all kick-offs, workshops, etc. at Roundtable. Most of what we do would be of interest to every leader and active parent in a Pack, Troop, Crew, or Team.
Another goal is to have at least one member from each unit attend the meeting, if for no other reason just to bring hot current information back to your unit. In addition, I can't emphasize enough the benefit of networking with others - either sharing what you know, or asking a question for information you would like to know.

Boy Scout Roundtable
Program for the 1/10 Roundtable: Indoor Rally Rules and Demo
Thanks to Indoor Rally coordinator Jeff Airth, who will be joining us again this year at the January Roundtable meeting to present the rules for the upcoming Indoor Rally on Friday, February 8th at the Holy Spirit gym. The rules review was very well received last year, so we have decided to bring it back again this year. There have been questions in past Indoor Rally events about interpretation of the rules, judging scout skills and how the events will be scored. All Scoutmasters of troops participating in Indoor Rally are required to judge the event, and it is important that they understand the rules so that troops may be judged fairly. Jeff will be presenting the different skill competitions, bringing sample supplies (it is the responsibility of each participating troop to bring their own supplies to the rally), demonstrating each of the events, and providing direction on how each event should be judged.
Remember put 2/8/13 on your troop calendars and be prepared to bring your Scout Spirit to the Indoor Rally! Please invite Webelos Scouts to join you and cheer on their host troops.
Cub Scout Roundtable
Where's Cub Scout Louie?
Well he spent the winter break with Pack 199!! Pack 199 had the most leaders present and went home with Cub Scout Louie along with an unopened "Den Meeting in a Box"! We learned a lot about Letterboxing from Gretchen Mora … it is a really cool thing ala "geocaching" but easier & (in my opinion) more fun. Attached is the information sheet Gretchen handed out at the meeting with all kinds of information and links.
It is time for another Cub Scout Roundtable … this coming Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 7:00 pm. We will once again convene at the LDS Church at 810 Walnut in Fremont. The theme for February – which we will cover at this Roundtable – is "Resourcefulness".
What is your Plan B? We will talk about what to do when you've planned a Den or Pack meeting with an outdoor activity and inclement weather arrives. Or that really cool idea you had just took a whole 10 minutes and now you've got some serious time to kill. WHAT IS YOUR PLAN B?
We will also have our monthly arts & craft. If you have an arts & craft idea you would like to share either this month or any month going forward … please let me or Gretchen know!
This is a new year with new opportunities! Come join us … We won't take much of your time but we will give you some timely ideas! See you soon!
(Please forward to anyone you think might be interested. They don't have to be a leader … yet! This is a wonderful opportunity to entice that future leader who is sitting on the fence about whether to take a more active role or not.)

Disney Epic Mickey was showcased to the world as part of Nintendo's strong E3 line-up back in June.
With vivid and varied art styles, Mickey certainly looked the part next to Ninty greats such as Zelda, Kirby and Donkey Kong.
We sat down with producer Raul Ramirez to talk about what it means to be standing next to gaming legends - and how Mickey doesn't exactly colour within the lines...
Tell us a bit more about the general story surrounding Epic Mickey. We noticed he's dripping, why's that?
As much as I can reveal is that Mickey finds himself in Wasteland, which he didn't know existed, he got pulled in by The Phantom Blot.
We as a player at the moment are not aware as to why Mickey got pulled in or what he's doing in this world but we are ultimately told that in order for Mickey to be able to leave or in order for Mickey to be able to accomplish his goal he needs to save Wasteland.
How you save Wasteland, how you go about reaching that ultimate goal is ultimately about your player style.
The drips that are coming off him? Obviously he absorbed a bit of the phantom blot as he came into the world, which explains why they're constantly there around him.
Some of the characters may allude to that as you're playing through the game but ultimately you are the one that's deciding the kind of hero that Mickey Mouse is going to be.
Tell us more about that. You're having to make a lot of choices throughout the game aren't you?
Yes, Warren Spector is a huge advocate of choice and consequence in a game, he likes to promote interactive story-telling by allowing the player to engage in what may be a small choice in a matter of deciding to go one route or go another, deciding to help this person or help this other person.
In doing so the world and the game changes around you. It reflects your choice and other characters will approach you or talk to you based on what you decided to do in one instance over the other.
This of course will provide that interactive experience that we at Junction Point are trying to allow the player.
So not only are you engaged in a wonderful story about trying to save Wasteland but as mentioned before how you go about saving Wasteland and what you decide to do while in this world will provide a different experience for you as opposed to the player next to you.
How does the world change around Mickey depending on how you act?
Of course the core mechanic to Disney Epic Mickey is the ability to wield paint and paint thinner. By using paint and paint thinner you actually will change the environment around you.
You can restore it to its former glory, you can thin it out, erase it and essentially leave it baron.
Depending on what your choice is as a player you can activate certain quests and have people come and talk to you based on your play style.
You will attract the Guardians in the world, which are Tints and Turps. The Tints will come to you if you are more restorative, the Turps will come to you if you erase more.
Not only does the world change based on how you play and the kind of guardians you attract but the music as well is used to track your play style. The more restorative path that you take the lighter and more flutier the music will become with undertones of Disney magic.
The more you decide to thin and take away from the world the lower and darker the music becomes a little bit more percussionist and slightly creepier so as you find yourself traversed into the Wasteland how you interact with the world will determine how the world responds to you and on top of that how the characters themselves respond to your actions.
