Engineering The Microenvironment For 3D Culture of Pancreatic Beta Cells
Stability of the biosensor and, eventually the insulin-secreting bioeffector, cells is a crucial challenge of these molecular machines. Thus, at the outset of this project, we need to understand microenvironmental signals that regulate the glucose sensing and insulin secretion functions. This project will study why some cells like beta cells lose glucose sensitivity and how other cells, such as differentiating iPS cells toward beta cells, gain glucose sensitivity. This subproject will vary the 3D microenvironment and cell conditions and use epigenetics and functional readouts to identify 3D microenvironments for optimal glucose sensing in a broad dynamic range. This project is collaborated with Professor Richard Lee from Harvard Medical School and Professor Linda Griffith from the Department of Biological and Mechanical Engineering at MIT.

This fun make is great for developing your child's hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills as they snip out segments from the egg carton, bend and trim the pipe cleaners, and then finally stick and paint the materials to assemble their egg box ant. It's quite a fiddly make for small hands so your child will need some help along the way.
How to extend the magic
Why not help your child create a little gang of egg box creepy crawlies? You could make a spider by adding two extra pipe cleaners for legs - or you could add some more segments of the egg box to the body (plus some extra pipe cleaners) to create a caterpillar. If your child prefers, they could let their imagination run wild and design a new egg box creature.

Earlier this month, celebrity Alec Baldwin made headlines when he was taken off an American Airlines flight due to his refusal to turn off his iPad because he was in the middle of a "Words With Friends" game. Perhaps what was even more shocking than Baldwin's relatively petty reason for not complying with the airline's rules was the astounding amount of publicity the story received in the days and weeks following the incident. In fact, Zynga, the company behind the WWF application on Baldwin's iPad, was reported to have gotten a boost from all of the publicity about the event that circulated the story.
As a consumer behavior researcher, I've often heard the saying "any press is good press." While my good conscience often doubted this notion at first, I quickly became a believer. Just turn on MTV these days and you will see what I mean (if you haven't already, that is). It seems as though people are fascinated with shows that are filled with a smorgasbord of bad publicity, including (but not limited to) shows like the Jersey Shore, The Real World, and Celebrity Rehab. Nowadays, it appears that bad publicity is even becoming a type of business strategy for companies, as more and more incidences of scandals leading to increases in sales are becoming the norm.
On a psychological level, researchers argue that the attention-grabbing power of bad publicity is so successful because it is exactly that. When some type of bad publicity incident–be it getting kicked off a plane or being unfaithful like Tiger Woods–is shown over and over again, the story (as well as the main characters) tend to stick with people. Thus, more exposure means more saliency, and the more saliency can mean more audience interest. Combine that with the fact that individuals hold a cognitive bias where they pay attention to negative information more than positive, and you have quite the recipe.
Yet with the increasing value and popularity being placed on bad publicity, are we sending younger, more impressionable individuals in our society the message that doing something outrageously bad is a positive thing? After all, these are the individuals for whom a successful online presence is a priority, and thus might think of any attention as good attention for themselves. Furthermore, how is the trend of bad publicity changing the very values adults attempt to instill upon these individuals at an earlier age?
As an instructor of marketing courses, I often wonder how to solve dilemma of trying to instill a sense of ethics and dignity in my students in the face of a culture that is close to valuing bad publicity. Given that it is becoming so prevalent, I'm often finding bad publicity a topic that is hard to ignore in the classroom. While my original stance on the matter was pure disapproval, I cannot help but think that my students' perceptions are quite different. Nevertheless, I feel that it is an important issue to discuss to some extent, both in business courses and beyond. After all, these are the future leaders of the world we are educating here.

ATLANTA-Surya has introduced a line of rugs based upon the designs of artist, philosopher and environmentalist William Morris.
Recognized as one of the most influential designers of the Arts & Crafts Movement, Morris is best known for his patterns on fabrics and wallpapers. He drew his design inspiration from handicraft and traditional techniques from the Middle Ages, with a focus on incorporating into his works the natural forms found in an increasingly industrialized world.
The collaboration between Morris & Co. and Surya has resulted in the Morris Collection. Constructed in India of 100 percent wool, the range of handcrafted rugs is offered in a distinctive color palette that complements the fabrics and wallpapers in the Morris & Co. collections, as well as Surya's home accessories offerings across multiple categories. The collection is being introduced this week at the Atlanta International Area Rug Market.
"William Morris was a true force of nature who believed in the power of design to change the world," said Satya Tiwari, president, Surya. "While looking to the past for inspiration, he created a visionary, forward-thinking approach to design, as well as the way we view the world – both of which remain highly relevant today. We are excited to have the opportunity to share Morris's refined and inspired designs with our designer and retailer customers."

My husband and I bought a 1917 cottage; we love it and we love its character, but finding appliances is a bit of an issue because of size and other constraints. I love to cook and have always had good-to-great ranges/cooktops/ovens. But our little house means I have to be as concerned about the depth of the appliance and it doesn't allow for a true vent outside (we have an over-the-range microwave with a fan right now, and even if we switch to a vent it will not be a "true" vent) and it's a VERY small kitchen so every square inch counts. I would love your thoughts/opinions/advice/guidance and counsel since I am just stymied as to getting a 30-inch gas or dual-fuel range: 1) Because of the kitchen layout, it would be preferable to go with a range with a depth of about 25-27.5 inches, but can go up to about 28.5. A lot of the ranges I've had in the past appear to be 30 - 32 inches deep (including the handles). 2) The Bertazzoni, Ilve, Smeg, Capital Precision and Capital Culinarian 30 inch ranges appear to be less deep from the specs -- and appear to have back cavities so I can keep them flush to the wall after hook-ups. Has anyone had good luck or bad luck with these brands and product lines? 3) I looked at the BlueStar after the great reviews here, but am concerned about the safety and output of unsealed burners with just an over-the-range microwave fan. 4) Has anyone had experience with the 5-burner American Range Cuisine series? It is built for residential with sealed burners and has the look I like -- but (sigh) it is deeper than I really want. I'm open to all options and don't have any dog in the hunt, so am looking for your help and advice... thank you so much for your help in advance... |

Venting straight up through the roof our straight out the wall or even a 90 degree bend and out a wall isn't a big deal. You should talk to a HVAC company about the venting. If you enjoy cooking, don't limit yourself by purchasing something that limits that activity. Nor do you need to purchase a fire breathing dragon if you never sear a steak or do a stirfry. Analyze the type of cooking that you do, and the type of cooking that you'd like to do if you had the tools to do it. Then look at the tools that will aid you in that type of cooking. |

The ILVE collection comes in at a depth of 27 3/4 in the Majestic (dual fuel) collection and 23 5/8" on the Nostalgie (all gas) collection. The Majestic line has been sold in the US since 2008 and the Nostalgie line was introduced in the fall of 2012. Good luck with your reno! |
I'm the owner of a 1916 2 1/2 story facing some of the same dilemmas. Our current downdraft sits on an interior wall about 5' to 6' from the exterior wall. We are planning to put in a vent hood that will vent out through to the outside wall. We're lucky because our joists run parallel to the wall so it will not be terribly difficult. I just returned from the appliance store where a saleperson told me that European brands are often what people with a shallow depth need to go with. He said Electrolux (the Icon maybe?) is shallower too. We'd looked at American and were strongly considering it until we got to the dimensions and realized it is too deep for our configuration(an L shape where we will need a shallower range in order to be able to open a door and cupboard). RangeGal has been on every vaguely-related posting today promoting several lines of ranges she mus sell. |

I just wanted to post a follow up to this. Because of the amount of love BlueStar gets, we spoke with BlueStar and they said unless we were going to make major venting changes, they couldn't recommend their range. (Props to them for their honesty!). So, given our restrictions, we bought a Bertazzoni, and I've got to tell you -- we couldn't be happier. The only thing I had to do was buy a $7 oven thermometer. Everything is a pleasure. It takes a smidgen of time to get used to, but it is truly a joy. Meats come out of the oven succulent, casseroles are evenly cooked, baking has been a pleasure -- and the simmer and high burner both work delightfully. Regular stove-top cooking is nice and efficient. I used to have a Viking, and I'd get a Berta over it any ol' time. Thanks, everyone, for your help! |

BluCasetta, Thanks for the follow up. Glad to hear you like your Bertazzoni. I've been considering a 30 inch (or maybe 36 inch) dual fuel Berta. Did you buy an all gas or a dual fuel one? Also, apparently Bertazonni has made some changes in their ranges pretty recently; one of the Portland OR dealers mentioned to me that the ones sold after March 1, 2013 or so would have these new features. When did you purchase yours? Did the salesperson you bought yours from discuss any of these modifications with you? Not sure how big of a deal any of the changes are. I plan on emailing the sales reps at Bertazonni sometime soon, but thought I'd mention it to you too, in case you have any information. Anyway, the best news is you're happy and found a solution that works for your space and cooking style. That's great! |

Hi Pentimento! There were so few reviews from people once they'd purchased their range, that's why I wanted to do a follow up. I had a heck of a time trying to find reviews from people who owned a Berta for more than a week or in a consumer test. I got all gas. I had read a few negative things about Berta's dual fuel oven... how it really didn't keep as consistent a temperature as the gas ones and some "switching off" issues halfway through cooking. Again, from a round-up kind of comparison thing, so I don't know how much truth there was to it. Bertas can be a little um, finicky maybe at first...or maybe it's just a little time to get used to them...so I don't know how much credit I'd give some reviews. Hopefully the new ones will address any issues there are for the dual fuel. I'm not sure about any of the changes and I probably got "last year's model" as I've had it almost 2 months. Good luck with your purchase. If you want to ask anything, please feel free. I'm happy to help if I can. |
Glad the Bert is working so well. We loved the look when we were shopping. Just installed the GE 30" DF Monogram last night. Flush to the wall, plenty of room for electrical and gas lines, vent hood works wonderfully. Now if we just had our counters! |
- Posted by pentimento (My Page) on Mon, Mar 18, 13 at 13:20
Thank you for your reply, BluCasetta. You're right; there are very few reviews of the Bertazzoni range out there, especially from people that have had them for a while. Your taking the time to come back and share is much appreciated! Part of why I was considering the dual fuel is that I've read that the all gas only goes down to 275 degrees. There a couple of things that I cook that require a lower oven temperature than that. For example, the chocolate-espresso dacquoise from cook's illustrated requires a 250 degree oven. But I may go with the all gas rather than the dual fuel anyway; I'm just gathering information at this point. The reviews for the all gas have generally been positive. I think overall oven steadiness that equates to even cooking trumps any concerns I have about the lower temperature limit. Glad to hear your "Meats come out of the oven succulent, casseroles are evenly cooked, baking has been a pleasure…". It's great that the simmer and high burner options and the range of heat in between are fine on your Berta, too. Some have expressed concerns about the fan blowing hot air into the room when the oven is on, but I think I could get over that since my kitchen tends to be a bit cold in winter anyway, and I use the oven much less in summer. Hope you continue to enjoy your cooking in your little 1917 cottage. :~) Whit461, |

Old slate floor renovation help
posted by: swickbb on 05.25.2009 at 06:30 pm in Flooring Forum Anyone have any suggestions how to clean up and repair the grout lines in an old slate floor? I had one floor cleaner professional remove the polyurethane or whatever is on the floor in one small section before he realized it was going to take a lot more work than we estimated. The removal is one thing, but how to repair/renovate the grout lines is another. There is all kinds of efflorescence and chips/holes in the grout lines. The floor guy says it was an old "mud job" with the slate laid into it.
Here are the pictures of it where you can see the before and after removal:
Is this something that can be repaired? I hate to have to seal it all up and put another floor over it. All that mixed slate has so much character and it would look marvelous with clean lines after it has the shiny surface removed. Any suggestions would be appreciated! NOTES: <none>

Just finished running Escape from Mos Shuuda for my daughters (9 and 13). They loved it and want to play again.
The dice system was a great asset. They caught on quick and the results were quick and easy to determine.
The adventure was easier than I expected it to be. They quickly blasted the Gamorians, stole the hyperdrive part, and sliced the spaceport control computers to release the docking clamps.
Then the Stormtroopers showed up. The girls ran for the docking bay with troopers in pursuit. A quick flash of the hyperdrive ignighter to the security droids at the docking bay got them waved aboard. Trex forced them to install it at gun point. The sounds of blaster combat drew Trex and the girls to the landing ramp. Where they found the security droids and the Stormtroopers in a shoot out. I had decided that the droids at the ship were in Trex's employ. Trex immediately began blasting troopers, who returned fire. The girls seized the moment to shove Trex out the door and lock it behind him. They then took off Nd fought off the TIEs with comparative ease.
They took great delight in using the Aim Manuver followed by the Fire Action, and in trading Advantages to eachother to provide a boost in combat.
Both want to play again. My big lesson learned, grab images of the various aliens, droids, etc to have handy to show what things look like.
My girls loved it!

I'm a 15 year old girl and I've been loving every minute of the games I've gotten to play in. I started with the Begonner's Box, too. But I wasn't terribly interested at first. I had played another game's beginner box and it was ok but I wasn't really wowed by it. I figured this game's Beginner Box was going to be the same but it wasn't. The dice and the chips made it so much more fun than just adding numbers. Its like the dice in Star Wars feel like part of the game instead of a tool you have to use to play.
Hope your girls keep having fun!

I'm making a baby quilt for one of my son's friends. I had it all together and was looking for just the right shade of pink for the outside border. I'd narrowed it down to 3 choices from my stash and decided to give it a few days to consider.
I work in a LTC facility where many of my ladies were quilters or seamstresses. Margaret is quiet, rarely speaks or makes eye contact. As I was putting a clothing protector on her in preparation for breakfast I noticed her shirt. It was the PERFECT pattern and shade of pink for my quilt border. I told her about it and she started smiling. We had a nice exchange and she even laughed a little. Each time she saw me, she would say something like, "You keep those scissors away from me!" or "You want to turn me into a baby quilt, don't you!" I brought the unfinished quilt in the next day to show her and she agreed, her shirt was perfect. The best thing about the exchange was she started telling me about the quilts she had made in her life. And she agreed to join our sewing club. It's in these moments I love my job. Dianne |

My Family and My Life Before Lawyering
I was born in Waco, Texas in 1975 and grew up there and in Throckmorton, Texas. I graduated from Midway High in 1994 and went to McLennan Community College for awhile before completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in 1999. While I was in college I started working in the computer industry and moved to Dallas in 2000 to further pursue a career in Information Technology. While in Dallas I worked for several Internet start-ups and taught at two technical schools. It was at one of these technical schools that I met my wife, Cindy (she was teaching in the Medical Assisting department of the school). Cindy and I married in 2002 and we had our son, Edgar, later that same year. After he was born, we decided to move to Waco to be close to family.
After moving back to Waco, I tried a couple of other jobs (insurance and purchasing) and realized that I really enjoyed helping people on a daily basis more than I did staring at computers. So, in 2004 I decided to apply to Baylor Law School and was accepted into the program for the Fall of 2005.
My Client's and My Life as a Lawyer
I've found that my favorite kinds of cases are those where people are in the most need of help because they are at a difficult time in their life. Maybe they are being accused of a crime and have the prosecutorial power of the entire state of Texas or the federal government leveled against them, or maybe they have had Child Protective Services remove their child and are at risk of permanently losing their parental rights, or maybe they are watching their world fall apart because of divorce or a custody dispute. It is at those times, when a client is feeling most vulnerable and alone, that I want to stand beside them and help in any way that I can.
While my primary areas of concentration are criminal defense and family law, I have handled many different kinds of cases including estate planning, personal injury, licensing, wills, probate, and business law. Most of my trial experience has been in state and federal criminal defense, CPS, and family law (divorce, custody, visitation, etc.). When dealing with clients, I like to try and work with them so that we can come up with a plan to address their problems. I try to accommodate clients and am willing to meet with them after-hours or on the weekend. While I prefer to meet in my office, I can and have met clients all over the place when an office visit wasn't convenient. I take my clients' cases very seriously and have a deep desire to help them achieve their legal goals and protect their rights, property and interests. When my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed or experiencing a sense of fear or uncertainty, I try to help them so that they leave with a sense of hope, calm, acceptance, and understanding. For me, the outcome of their case is emotionally import to me, regardless of the financial terms associated with my defense of the case.Associations and Awards
While at Baylor Law School, I helped reactivate the R.E.B. Baylor Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta and served as the chapter's Justice for its first year after its reactivation and was also a member of the Order of the Barristers. In 2008 I graduated from Baylor Law School (40 years after my dad) with both a Criminal Law Concentration and a General Civil Litigation Concentration. In 2008 I joined the American Bar Association and in 2009 I became a CJA Panel Attorney in the Western District of Texas. Also, in 2009 I joined the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. In 2010 I became a member of the National Association of Counsel for Children. I am also a member of the McLennan County Bar Association, the McLennan County Criminal Defense Lawyer's Association, the Association of Federal Defense Attorneys, the Pro Bono College of the State Bar of Texas, and the College of the State Bar of Texas. In 2011, I was elected to serve as a Director of the Waco-McLennan County Young Lawyers Association and I became Vice-President in 2012.

That's why some materials are labled as "builder's grade". They are designed to look nice and last until the builder's warranty expires. |
I don't even know what the builder's warranty was, but the builder is long out of business and gone. We discovered that 2 years ago when the kitchen cabinets fell off the wall. The windows don't leak (surprisingly), but they are double pane glass and all rusted in between. The half moon has condensation between the glass and the front casements are smeary with I don't know what. It's like smeary in the glass because it won't clean. The a/c started running constantly just recently. It takes about 6-8 hours to cool off 4 degrees and the blower is about to die on the furnace. We're getting a new roof too. Woo hoo! About 1/2 of our sub has replaced roofs and windows so far. Not sure about furnace and a/c. |
What's a sub? |
Joe - subdivision. |
I do not ask friends about their age of equipment but replacing hvac after 13yrs just bites. I seriously do not know anyone who has gone thru such a short lived install. Maybe MN systems are better built? Haha |

Peake, Royal W., Bristol, one of the most venerable citizens of Bristol, Vt., has always during his life been prominently identified with the business interests of this section of Addison county, Vt. He was born in the town of Monkton Vt., on December 17, 1806. He was a son of Seth Peake, who was the youngest son of William and Jane (Oliver) Peake, who were of English descent. William was a seafaring man, and during his earliest residence in America resided on Nantucket Island. Seth Peake was a harness-maker by trade, and was also engaged in the mercantile business. Royal W. Peake was married on October 10, 1831, to Jane A. G. Volley, a daughter of Samuel H. Holley. They had a family of three children born to them — Peveril S., Rollin S., and Willis R. Mrs. Peake died on January 17, 1850. Rollin S. died on July 9, 1841, and Peveril S. died on March 13, 1875. The only child now living is Willis R., who is now a resident of Bristol, V t. He has been married twice. His first wife was Susan H. Wright, a daughter of John H. Wright, by whom he had one daughter — Agnes. His second wife was Catherine Riley, by whom he has had one son — -Royal W. Royal W. Peake, sr., came to Bristol, Vt., with his father, Seth Peake, when very young. He has dealt largely in real estate, and has represented his town in the Legislature.

For any business to succeed, marketing is essential as it boosts sales while increasing profits. It is an added cost, yet if managed efficiently, the benefits far outweigh the costs. Digital marketing has superseded successful advertising with time. This is a form of advertising that employs the internet, mobiles, television and radio.
Digital marketing on the internet is popular because a growing number of people are using the internet for daily activities as well as major business transactions. Internet facilities are easily accessible through computers and mobile devices. So it makes sense to take advantage of them and promote business products too. Online digital marketing can be done through email and banner ads that are the most common. They advise people and guide them to advertise their products effectively on the internet.
Lately customers have developed a preference for receiving goods in the shortest time possible. This includes news and other information related to products and services. Emails are no longer fast enough. Thus, many firms have acquired the services of social media like MySpace, and Facebook to advertise the products and services.
Benefits include instant delivery to a large group of people at the same time. Access to new products is on the main page as opposed to opening mails and reading through them. According to a study conducted by Oneupweb, 47% of the recipients expected instant results that they valued. Search engines are similarly integrated on a lower level too.
There is a need for you to adopt a different approach for additional business exposure. You can no longer afford to send separate emails to different people. Instead, what you do is to Tweet your latest merchandise on Twitter or post things on Facebook. It is one and the same as the use of electronic means despite using a social networking site or email. You need to change your approach to doing things to maintain the same pace as the rapidly changing trends and tastes of the market. Thus, focusing on social media could benefit your business, no matter what size it is.

I was toying with making the Fons and Porter 'Stars and Stripes Sampler' for my nephew in the military. It was a series on their show a ways back and I thought I may be able to find a cheap used book.
They have a new book and the sampler is included with other patriotic quilts. I was surprised to find the book at our library system so I can look at it to see if I like it or not. YEAH!!!! Rosa |

Getting into the BIOS for the first time you're greeted with "EZ Mode". You can't do too much here and the chances are if you're in the BIOS you'll probably want to jump into the advanced section. This can be done by going to the top right corner of the screen or hitting F7.
Once in the advanced area of the BIOS it's all familiar territory. If you're going to be overclocking, you'll head straight over to the Ai Tweaker section of the BIOS. Here we've got all the normal BCLK and multiplier options along with a strong lineup of voltage options all in one place, which is great. What we really love, though, is that when you're adjusting the voltages we go through a number of color stages showing us what's safe and what isn't.
You start with white or black depending on if the number is highlighted or not. You then move into yellow, followed by purple before we finally hit red. Of course depending on the kind of cooling you have will depend on what you can go to. You can with confidence, though, feel pretty confortable setting the voltages in the yellow area or early purple if you're on stronger cooling.
Moving throughout the rest of the BIOS you've got all the normal options with the last screen offering the ability to flash to the latest BIOS and save O.C. Profiles. It's been ages since we've looked at an ASUS BIOS and we're again reminded why it's one of our favorites to use.

Explore Hells Bay
One of the coolest places to fish here in South Florida is actually in the Florida Everglades. Yes, the Swamp. You actually would stay at a hotel in the Miami or Homestead area and travel in the early morning to the fishing grounds of Flamingo. Which is located on the south west tip of Florida. Here is a place that is considered untouched by development so you won't see anything human related. Only Alligators, Crocodiles, Wild Birds, and of course great fishing. Hell's Bay is great for catching Snook, Redfish, and even Tarpon. We generally use 10 lb. light tackle spinning rods or 8-10 weight fly rods. This destinaiton is a total maze of creeks, rivers, and ponds so when fishing here you really have the element of felling all alone. |

Can the Support Action "Trivial Knowledge" be used in combat? This came up in our last game. For instance, could you use it by saying something like, "Those Zombies are really slow so keep bouncing all over the place when you fight", or say "That guy is using a specific fighting style which is countered by doing quick short thrusts with your sword"?
Thank you in advance for any responses.

This stuff stings my eyes like a MF(!) and I didn't put it anywhere near my eyes. Once I got over my eyes being on fire, the effect is that it slightly brightens but this is probably as a result of all the dead skin cells lifting away and not the Vitamin C, it slightly tightens (but just, just slightly) probably because of the peel off effect and it doesn't completely clear my pores (this is a job probably best left for exfoliators). So all in all, I probably won't repurchase, it is an okay mask, nothing great
I adore peel-offs. But this gave me a huge cystic bump/pimple on my cheek. It was so mortifying that I scratched it off! 5x uglier!! It's super super stcky and smells ok. Other then the fun of peeling it off, I will never buy this again. Thank god it was so cheap!
I love this mask by Queen Helene. Everytime I use it I and others can see a tremendous difference in my skin. Not only is my skin smoother, brighter more even but it actually seems to improve the look of my large pores. It's one of the best masks that I've used.
Everytime I get done using this, I'd feel my nose and it's sooo smooth. I think it get rids of the gunk that accumulates from the week. I use it once a week since I got semi sensitive skin and it does leave me glowing and smooth and softer. Will def repurchase, I love it!
I really wanted to like this mask as I love Queen Helene products; however, I was extremely disappointed in this mask. The consistency was almost too sticky, making it very difficult to apply and rinse off the residue from my fingers. I also found that this mask caused me to break-out as well. Will not repurchase.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love this stuff! I have so much fun peeling off masks, and this mask is by far the easiest to peel off. Doesn't break off while peeling or anything!!
Does the job...gets rid of dead skin cells. I use 2-3 times a week and have definitely noticed an improvement in my skin!
It is REALLY sticky but I don't care.
i ordered this online along with the mint julep mask and scrub. also bought the mud pack mask, you can read my review for all those. i really love this mask. i wouldnt use it during a bad breakout, but as a weekly pick me up for the skin it's great. immediate results. the best thing about this mask is it peels off in just two go's. you dont spend ages peeling little sticky spots off your face; it's all gone in one top pull, and one bottom pull. easy peasy.
I love this mask. It smells nice and makes my face feel so much cleaner and softer. I just love it more than the mint julep mask. I love how it peels off, but keep it away from your hair! Peeling it reminds me of peeling off dried white glue from my fingers when I was little. Only with a nicer smell of citrus, instead of Elmers.

Yesterday, on Day 31 of the Raw Food Challenge, I ate:
– Smoothie with 1 1/2 cups cold water, 2 orange juice pulp ice cubes, 1/2 frozen banana, some frozen blueberries, a pile of spinach, the contents of 1 probiotic capsule, and 1 scoop calcium/magnesium powder
– 1 apple and 2 mugs green tea
– 2 cups veggie medley (frozen-then-thawed chopped carrots, corn, peas, green beans, red pepper, onion, broccoli, and cauliflower)
– Chocolate ice cream (1 1/2 frozen bananas with 1/2 tbsp cacao powder and cinnamon)
– 1 apple with cinnamon and a small handful sprouted lentils
– 1 mug chai yerba mate and 2 romaine lettuce wraps filled with tomato/cucumber/sprouted lentils
– Fruit salad with 1/2 apple and 1 banana, topped with cinnamon, plus 1 1/2 mugs yerba mate and a handful sunflower seeds
– Smoothie with 1 1/2 frozen bananas, 1 1/2 cups cold water, piles of spinach, 1 tbsp cacao powder, 1 scoop calcium/magnesium powder, and 1 tbsp water that had dates soaking in it (it was rather a banana lovin' day!)
– Some sprouted lentils, a piece of frozen banana, and a piece of apple with cinnamon
Re-Cap of the Raw Food Challenge: Part One
I have completed the Raw Food Challenge!
There are a lot of different things I wish to cover regarding my raw food experience, so I've divided it into two parts to make it a little easier to handle. We'll take a look at Part Two on Wednesday.
1. Emotions, Mood, and Relationships:
I don't think my emotions or mood were affected very much by eating raw. Except I may have been annoying the people around me when I moaned about how much I wanted cooked food There were a few times when I was a bit grumpy because I got frustrated with this way of eating, but other than that my emotions and mood were relatively unaffected. Everyone around me was supportive, even if they didn't understand the challenge itself; the roommate experimented with sprouting lentils and quinoa before I had even thought of doing it myself, and he also has started to drink green smoothies. The boyfriend was happy to try all of my raw creations and made a point of not eating cooked food around me so as to help with preventing any cravings. It's nice that relationships don't have to be based around food.
2. Sleep:
For the first two or three weeks, I was nodding off at around 8pm, and was able to sleep for a solid 8 or 9 hours every night. I managed to sleep almost completely through the night without waking. These were incredibly deep sleeps. This seemed to be my body's way of detoxing: I had been lacking proper sleep before I started this challenge, so it was a relief to just sleep for hours on end.
However, this past week or so I've been waking up more frequently throughout the night and my nightmares have somewhat returned. This may be because I'm feeling more stressed out, or it may just be that my body became used to the raw food way of eating (and thus the "detox" of excess sleep ended).
3. Cognitive abilities:
As with my emotions and mood, I don't think that my mental functioning was very much affected by this way of eating. I haven't been having any difficulties with concentrating or feeling light-headed.
4. Energy levels:
Although I crashed early on most nights, I found that my energy levels throughout the day weren't really all that different from usual. I could still perform my usual tasks and get in a good workout with difficulty. I think that this is because I was eating smaller meals frequently throughout the day, which kept my energy levels up. I did find, however, that when I went for longer walks, I was getting tired by the end of the walk. Normally I would be able to easily walk for a couple of hours without feeling tired at all. I'm not sure if this was related to the raw food or if it was from the effort of trudging through the snow on unploughed sidewalks.
5. Financial expenses: $230.00 for one person (me!) for one month (January)
This was dependent on several factors. First of all, I ate a considerable amount of nuts, which are very expensive; however, there were a pile of cashews at work leftover from holiday gifts from clients, and no one was eating them at work so I just took them home with me (freebies!). Second, I experimented with some more exotic foods such as avocados, but I love the challenge of bargain-hunting in grocery stores almost as much as I love comparing ingredient lists, so I bought them when they were on sale. Third, most of the food I ate was not organic, although some of it was which increased the price for foods such as the mixed spring greens. Fourth, I have not included my probiotics and digestive enzymes in the financial expenses listed above (which the mother dear bought for me- thank you mother dear!- and which would amount to about $80, I expect), or a couple times when I went out for salad or tea and another person bought for me.
I have included the cost of going out for tea at cafe's with friends when I was the one buying, in addition to the calcium powder, but I have not included the cost of some of the foods which I had around the house before I started the challenge. Quinoa, chickpeas, and lentils were all kicking around the pantry.
Overall, when you consider these factors, I still think that the above total amount is a fairly reasonable price for what you could expect to spend on a raw food diet for one person, without feeling too hungry. Including a few supplements and going out to a few cafes will still leave you at spending about $300 total for a month, which I think is a very reasonable amount. If you were to eat more organic foods, the amount would of course be slightly higher.
On Wednesday's post, I'll complete this Raw Food Re-Cap with Part Two, in which I'll address: 6) Body changes (weight and body fat percentage), 7) Detox symptoms, 8 ) Preparation and clean-up, 9) Cravings, and 10) Raw in the long term.

The green is gorgeous!
I find these palettes are pretty sheer so don't expect extreme pigmentation. The glittery black is not bad, though I find the glitters don't show up very well. I found the white to be a little chalky & gritty for my liking. The grey is quite pretty too, only warm colours work better for my skin tone. I would't repurchase because I don't think I will ever finish this palette.
Like others have mentioned, this is a pretty good palette for a smokey eye look. I often use the green to line my lower lashes instead of brown with a neutral wash of colour over my lids finished with a simple lined upper lashes :)
This quad is excellent quality. Revlon is my favourite "drugstore brand" well except in the mascara department (you'll know what i'm talking about if you've tried their mascaras.) They never fail to impress with their 12 hour eye shadow quads. This quad is great for a Smokey eye, you're getting a butter/crème vanilla shade, a silver shade (no shimmer), a pretty sparkly black and the cream of the crop - a beautiful emerald green shade! The pigmentation on these shadows is superb, although their not as smooth and velvety as some of my other revlon quads. I have created beautiful dramatic looks with this using the black in the crease and simple everyday neutral eyes using the black as liner. As for the staying power- I wear a primer underneath all my shadows so I can't really say how long they'll last without a primer. With a primer however they last all day, with no creasing or fading.

this product is good for a dramatic look.. the colors are a bit dark & heavy but its still good to mix n match it with any other eyeshadows
I guess I'm the minority here. I bought this quad because of the green and silver/gray. the black was a plus too. I really love it. The colors all work very well for me, even without using a primer. I also think the colors compliment each other nicely. I would repurchase if I ever use this one up.
I searched for two days to find somewhere that sold this quad, mostly because of the green eyeshadow. I am so disappointed! The white color is nice, and probably the one I will use the most. This doesn't go on too opaque, so it still looks sheer no matter how much you apply. The silver is very nice and looks quite true to the color in the pan when applied. Shimmery but not chunky glitter. I have had this on for about 10 hours now, and this color in particular has faded to a pretty grey with hardly any shimmer. Both the white and silver shadows in this quad are decent, but nothing out of the ordinary. I own an Almay eyeshadow trio with almost identical shades and these are much more pigmented. The green is shimmery but not as metallic as I had hoped it would be. Against my skin, this doesn't look too good when worn as an eyeshadow. I am wearing it as a liner and this does look considerably better. The color is still as vibrant as when I put it on this morning, and it hasn't faded at all. The glittery black does not look great as a liner due to the lack of pigment. This goes on as a patchy dark grey color and fades very fast. Overall I don't think I will be buying this particular quad again. Revlon Colorstay do a great Teal eyeliner which is practically the same color as the green in this quad and I would much rather use that than this eyeshadow. continued >>
I wouldn't buy this quad again because it's just not that great. The first colour which i use as a highlighter doesn't really highlight all that well. The silver/grey colour comes up as shimmers and you can barely see the silver. The emerald green doesn't show up as you see it in the pan, it's more of a blueish green than a rich emerald green on my eyelids. The black is decent, i found it hard to blend with other eyeshadows when used in my outer v. I guess the pigmentation just isn't very good and you really need to use a good base colour that would complement these colours and to make this quad work.
I like this quad for many reasons. The colors are wonderful, though a bit more pigment couldn't hurt. It has a shimmery black, a deep emerald green, a silver, and a white. Each color is pretty, and I love the green. Needs a good primer, or it will disappear quickly. Easily blended, gorgeous bold eye look. Cheap, but the packaging isn't good

Saving the Fragments
"A touching, haunting and beautiful work - a worthy companion to Isabella Leitner's Fragments of Isabella" - Gerald Green, author of the famed TV series "Holocaust."
From Auschwitz to New York Isabella Leitner with Irving A. Leitner Introduction by Howard Fast.
Isabella Leitner was a young woman in May 1944 when she, her four sisters, her brother, and her mother were rounded up - along with the other Jews - for deportation to Auschwitz death camp. There they were scrutinized by the immaculate Dr. Josef Mengele who, with a whistle and flick of his thumb, indicated who would live (for the time being) and who would die.
Isabella's memories of this nightmarish episode in her life were distilled in her critically acclaimed classic of Holocaust literature, Fragments of Isabella. Now with the same immediacy and passion, she continues her heart-wrenching, and ultimately inspiring, story of her emancipation from the death camps and her struggle to become human again. Returning to the moment of liberation at Auschwitz, she vividly recreates what happened to her when the Allies advanced through the smouldering ruins of Hitler's Reich to save thousands of broken and emaciated souls from certain death. She recalls, with searing intensity, the conquering Russian Army, encounters with Polish anti-Semites, sympathetic interludes with American and British soldiers and, finally, the five-week trans-Atlantic odyssey that took her and her two sisters through submarine-infested waters to the promise of New York.
This powerful and poignant work is Isabella Leitner's haunting testament to the Holocaust survivors' indomitable courage to forge a new life from the fragments of civilization's most shattering experience.
Isabella Leitner came to the United States in 1945. She lectures frequently about her experiences, in addition to being a vice president of the American Gathering and Federation of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and a board member of the juvenile Diabetes Foundation. She is married to Irving A. Leitner, an author and freelance editor.

Leitner, recounts the true story of a young Hungarian Jew and her
sisters interned in Auschwitz, their struggle to survive, and their
daring escape from a death march to Bergen Belsen. In 1944, Isabella and
her family were arrested and deported by cattlecar to Auschwitz where
they encountered Dr. Josef Mengele, the so-called "Angel of Death." He
condemned Isabella's mother and youngest sister to death "by a flip of
his thumb," but Isabella, her brother and three remaining sisters were
spared to suffer until their miraculous escape.
The left¥motif of this extraordinary film is love not hate, the love
that sustained Isabella and her sisters through the horrors of the

The Big Lie
News From Scholastic Books for Children and Young Adults; For immediate release. Contact: Maria Sinopoli (212) 505-3192.
Holocaust Survivor and Acclaimed Author Isabella Leitner Tells Her Story to Children
As a young woman, Isabella Leitner's life changed drastically. She, along with the other Jews in Kisvarda, Hungary, were forbidden from walking the streets after 7p.m. and attending school. Laws became progressively harsh until thousands of Jews were evicted from their homes andlike cattle-- shipped to Auschwitz, a notorious death camp.
In her first children's book, THE BIG LIE: A TRUE STORY (September 1,1992; $13.95; Ages 8-11), IsabelIa Leitner relates to readers the tragic experiences that she and her family endured during WWII. Upon arrival at Auschwitz, Isabella's mother and youngest sister, Potyo--to whom THE BIG LIE: A TRUE STORY is dedicated-were immediately sent by Dr. Mengele to the gas chamber. Her mother's last words to her children were those of encouragement: "Be strong, l love you."
With their mother's words etched in their hearts, Isabella and her sisters struggled to survive. During roll call, Chicha, one of Isabella's sisters, was forced by a Nazi officer to hold two rocks high in the air for hours, or she would be shot. She did not drop them. " It was a small victory, but still a victory. Chicha had stayed alive, and that gave all who saw her the courage to carry on."
Isabella Leitner is the author of two highly acclaimed adult books, FRAGMENTS OF ISABELLA: A MEMOIR OF AUSCHWITZ (Crowell) and SAVING THE FRAGMENTS FROM AUSCHWITZ TO NEW YORK (NAL Books). FRAGMENTS OF ISABELLA was submitted for the Pulitzer Prize, voted onto The American Library Association's "Best Books For Young Adult's List," and adapted for a theatrical presentation and a soon to be released motion picture.
Isabella Leitner's story is one of universal tragedy. In sharing it with a younger audience, she is not only educating them about a dark part of history, but also instilling in them a sense of courage and determination. "Because children are the makers of the future, I want to inspire them to live full and productive lives and work for a brand new way of life where human beings do not nurture hatred and destroy other human beings."
Isabella lost her mother and two sisters to the Holocaust. The three remaining sisters were reunited in America on May 8,1945 with their father, who had been trying to secure immigration papers for his family. Later on, the sisters learned that their brother, Philip, had also survived the war.
Currently a board member of the juvenile Diabetes Foundation and a finalist of the Wonder Woman Foundation, Isabella Leitner is married, has two grown sons and lives in New York City. She is often a guest speaker on the Holocaust at schools, colleges, universities, churches, temples and other important gatherings

Google's rolling out a new system where ad landing pages will be automatically spidered by a new AdsBot. The content of landing pages will help determine the quality of an ad campaign. That quality score, along with the amount you are willing to pay, is then used to determine an ad's AdRank, the position where an ad will appear in the results. A high quality score means you can rank higher even if you pay less than others. And not participating in the new spidering system can hurt your AdRank.
What's the deal? Didn't Google already spider landing pages as part of the announcement back in December that landing page content would be assessed? To my understanding from Google, only if the AdSense spider had seen the page for ad content placement purposes or if regular Googlebot had already indexed the page for inclusion in the web search index. If the page wasn't already visible to these or perhaps some other Google spiders, or had been specifically blocked from spidering, then AdWords couldn't assess it.
Sometime in the coming weeks, a new AdsBot crawler will be grabbing all landing pages independently of AdSense, Googlebot or other Google spiders. Can you still block being spidered? Yes. But if you do so, Google AdWords will consider you a "non-participating advertiser" in the review process. As a result, you'll take a ding on your overall AdWords quality score.
From new information about the change:
While you can exclude your site from review, this will provide us with little information about your landing page's quality and relevance. Therefore, if you restrict AdWords from visiting your landing pages, you will experience a drop in Quality Scores for your related keywords. (This will cause higher minimum bid requirements for any landing page for which you've restricted access.)
That page also explains how to block AdsBot from getting your pages, how the visits won't cost you money even though AdsBot is following your ad links and how blocking or allowing AdsBot to your site will have no impact on what Googlebot thinks about it in terms of ranking it for free, organic results.
For Search Engine Watch members, the longer version of this article covers more on the change from my talk with Google during a visit there last week, such as how it is designed to improve relevancy and ease concerns that users (rather than advertisers) might be harmed by search arbitrage.

'West of Memphis' Trailer: One of the Best Docs of the Year Is Also the Most Wrenching
Movie News By Kate Erbland on November 2, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThere's no easy or fun or quick or flashy way to lead off a story about Amy Berg's phenomenal documentary, West of Memphis. The film is crushing and wrenching and frequently hard to watch, but that's fully in service to its subject matter; chronicling the unbelievable story of the West Memphis 3, Berg keenly cuts to the heart of the matter of one of America's most stunning and complete miscarriages of justice. It's just a heartbreaker, all-around, and the film's latest trailer doesn't shy away from that.
The film was one of my favorites out of this year's Sundance Film Festival and, back then, I wrote about it: "West of Memphis serves as an illuminating look inside the entire West Memphis 3 ordeal, from crime to trial to freedom, and all of the infuriating twists and turns in between. It's an emotional journey, one that will alternately rile and move its audience. Berg's access to people and evidence positively crams the film with new interviews and material that will stun even those previously educated about the case." Get a taste of that with the new trailer for West of Memphis, after the break.
West of Memphis opens in limited release on December 25th. [Apple]

The night before the final round of the 1997 British Open, I was feeling pretty disappointed. I had shot sixty-nine and sixty-six on the first two days and entered Saturday just two shots out of the lead, but I hadn't putted well at all. A mediocre seventy-two, on a relatively windless day, had left me five shots back. I felt like I'd let one slip away.
As I was sitting eating dinner that night, Barbara Nicklaus walked by, stopped at my table and looked me square in the eye.
"You know, you can still win this, Justin," she said. I looked up at her and replied, half-heartedly,
"Yeah, I think you're right."
"Oh, no," she said. "You can. You really can."
I imagine that over the years Barbara has said similar things to her husband on the Saturday nights of quite a few majors. And perhaps she was just being nice. But it's amazing the impact one comment can have—especially when it comes from the partner of the man who's won eighteen professional majors. From that moment on, I stopped licking my wounds from Saturday's play and started thinking about trying to win the golf tournament.
And why not?Six weeks before, I had come back from a five-stroke deficit on the last day to win the Kemper Open. I was hitting the ball well. Plus, I was paired with Freddie Couples for Sunday's final round, as fun and relaxing a partner as a guy could ask for. (In fact, walking up to the seventeenth green on Saturday, I had looked at the leaderboard and realized that one more birdie would get me paired with Freddie. I was thrilled when I sank a putt to make it happen.)
But most encouraging was the course itself. I had never played Royal Troon before that week; if I spend too much time at a site, I get worn out before the tournament even starts, so I'd arrived only on Sunday. But once I saw it, I knew it set up well for me. It's a classic links routing, but a fair course that rewards good shots, which is not always the case with some of the British Open venues. Like most links courses, the fairways run fast and firm, negating some of the advantage that the long hitters have over guys like me. The greens are generally small and well guarded, and if you hit good approaches into them, you're going to have realistic birdie chances—in my estimation, the sign of a great course.
By my tee time for the final round, I was back to feeling excited about my prospects—and confident in my approach.
Coming into the Open, I knew a few things about Royal Troon. In 1878, twenty-four local men had formed the Troon Golf Club, carving five holes from a stretch of rough dunesland on the west coast of Scotland, thirty-five miles south of Glasgow. Since then, although the course lies just north of the links at Prestwick and Turnberry and south of Western Gailes, the gale-force winds that buffet the area have always bit hardest at Troon. During its first eighty years, tons of sand were routinely blown onto the course. Erosion from violent sea storms has claimed hundreds of yards of its land.
Despite all this, Troon persevered and developed a reputation as a challenging links with some of the finest greens in all of Britain. It played host to its first British Open in 1923 and has since held six others, boasting a list of Open champions that includes Arnold Palmer, Tom Weiskopf, Tom Watson and Bobby Locke—who was so smitten with Troon during his victory in 1950 that for the rest of his life he sent the club a Christmas card each year bearing the same compliment: "Still the best greens in the world."
I was also well aware that the course was famous for possessing two of the most radically different nines in golf: a docile start, a deadly finish. A true links construction, Troon sports a front nine that primarily hugs the seashore as it heads south, along the path of the prevailing wind. These are the scoring holes, where most players feel as if they have to make their birdies. On windy days, many of the par fours are reachable off the tee, and some players try to hit drivers close to the greens, leading to easy birdies. But that can also lead to trouble. Hit into a fairway bunker at Troon and, just like at St. Andrews, you're blasting out sideways.
I'm not the longest hitter on Tour, so I took a different approach: At the time, I was putting well and hitting really good wedge shots, so I opted to hit irons off the tees for placement and rely on my wedges to get me close. This proved to be my key to avoiding trouble at Troon—and scoring well. In fact, I'm not absolutely certain about this, but I don't recall hitting into a bunker during the entire Open. I definitely didn't find any off the tees. I don't remember anyone making a big deal of it at the time—certainly not as much as when Tiger did the same thing three years later at St. Andrews—but I'm still proud of it.
There was a downside to this approach, though, and each day it arrived for me on the tenth tee, the point at which Troon's routing turns inland, back to the north and into the wind. Probably the two hardest tee shots on the course are on the par-four tenth and the par-four eleventh, but because of my conservative approach on the front nine, by the turn I felt like I hadn't hit a driver in two hours.
I've never played a golf course that changes so drastically from the front side to the back. Eight of the nine hardest holes are on the home stretch, and par, even a couple over, can be a pretty good score on the final nine. When the wind is blowing, it might be the hardest back side in major-championship golf—and come Sunday, that stretch would be where the tournament was won.
Entering the final round Sunday afternoon, I was five shots behind Jesper Parnevik, but I could tell on the driving range that my game was on. And once on the course, my conservative approach began to pay off: My wedge play was sharp, and all my putts from ten feet in were falling. I carded six birdies on the front side to go out in thirty-one and get within one stroke of the lead—including a birdie on the now 601-yard par-five sixth, the longest hole in British Open play, and a par on the tiny but treacherous par-three eighth, the "Postage Stamp," which is the shortest hole in the Open rota. Playing with Freddie was indeed a blessing; we were relaxed and enjoying one another's company. Then came the back nine.
