Sculpted Tans' professional airbrush tanning provides a natural-looking golden glow without exposing skin to harmful UV rays, chemicals, or sharp beach glass. The pigmentally potent solution, which is odorless and made of natural ingredients such as sugar cane and red raspberries, uses three different bronzers that develop on skin in 6-8 hours and last 5-10 days. Because it's a fine mist applied by a steady-handed technician, Sculpted Tans' airbrush tan leaves no orange streaks or cheetah spots. Sculpted Tans recommends you shave or wax, exfoliate skin, and do not use any topicals before your airbrush tan, and afterward, moisturize with Vitamin E lotion or leftover BLT mayo.
Galvanic Spa & Tan helps bodies glow with a combination of infrared heat, light therapy, and tanning treatments. Its Formostar infrared body wraps burn calories and contour curves, and its red-light therapy smoothes fine lines and wrinkles produced by aging or letting your face air dry. Bodies glow further with the center's tanning beds or spritzes of Magic Tan 3000 formula—which bronzes without sun exposure—as well as teeth-whitening services.
The skillful sun-sprayers and machines at Tansyou Tanning Center team up to coat physiques with an eye-catching, even tan. Beach-shy bodies can loosen up with a trio of Norvell airbrush tans, applied by a professional with an eye for detail, and another eye for reading messages on blimps. The salon stocks Norvell's DHA-formulated tanning mist, which interacts naturally with skin's amino acids to develop into a bronze as dark and even as Darth Vader's breathing pattern. Those vying for the attention of simulated sun can opt for six months of unlimited 15-minute sessions in the salon's SuperClass 170-watt bed, whose regularly changed bulbs aim to cultivate rich color while avoiding burn.
Sunlimited Tanning is a full service salon offering conventional tanning with 4 levels of beds, as well as Air-Brush Tanning from the creators of the industry, Fantasy Tans. We offer multiple products to keep your tan looking great. Come see why we are Little Rock's fasted growing tanning salon!
The cooks behind the restaurant, lounge, and café keep things focused, putting together a tight menu that draws from the best of American cuisine, including grilled burgers, Cajun rice sides, and chef-prepared fish fillets. In addition to a trio of salads, they prepare four pub-grub appetizers, including pork-chop bites, mozzarella sticks, and deep-fried chicken wings dunked in thai, bourbon, or spicy Cajun sauce. After digging into finger foods, diners can enjoy entrees of grilled chicken breast or grab hold of one of four classic, no-frills sandwiches—such as the BLT or turkey club—that come with housemade potato chips.
Thirteen signature mixed drinks—12 of which bartenders spike with Cîroc premium vodkas—act as the bedrock to a drink menu filled with fountain drinks and domestic and imported beers. A peach-flavored one, for instance, blends with orange and cranberry juices to create Peach on the Beach, a tastier treat than the short-lived Prune in the Fridge.
Lulu's Tanning Salon darkens epidermis with spray tanning and powerful high-pressure beds. The Fantasy spray tan dresses skin in natural-looking, darker hues in fewer than 15 minutes. Using a custom-blended skin tone, the machine avoids the orange tones popular in tiger culture. Guests who opt for two months of unlimited tanning can garb their skin in pleasant pigments using the Ambition 250 tanning bed. Sandwiching sun-seekers between two 120-watt slabs, the 15-minute bed boasts three facial tanners and a built-in radio with an iPod dock and an FM landing pad. Lulu's pampers tanners with goggles and a basket stocked with complimentary after-spray, deodorant, and more. While today's deal is specifically for the Ambition 250 tanning bed, guests may choose to upgrade to a different bed for an additional charge.

How to Prepare for an Abdominal or Pelvic CT Scan
You should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your exam. You may be given a gown to wear during the procedure.
Metal objects such as jewelry, eyeglasses, dentures and hairpins may affect the CT images. Please leave these items at home or remove them prior to your exam. You also may be asked to remove hearing aids and dentures or other removable dental work.
You may be asked not to eat or drink anything for several hours beforehand, especially if a contrast material will be used in your exam. You should inform your doctor of any medications you are taking and if you have any allergies. If you have a known allergy to contrast material, or "dye," your doctor may prescribe medications to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction.
Also inform your doctor of any recent illnesses or other medical conditions, including a history of heart disease, asthma, diabetes, kidney disease or thyroid problems. Any of these conditions may increase the risk of an adverse effect.
Women should always inform their doctor and the CT technologist if there is any possibility that they are pregnant.

'Fast and the Furious 6′ casting updates: Rihanna, Gina Carano, Luke Evans, Michelle Rodriguez, David Tennant
A flurry for casting updates for the upcoming installment in the franchise – from the sensible to the bizarre.
In the last few days, there have been so many casting updates and rumors regarding the upcoming installment in the 'Fast and the Furious' franchise that instead of spamming you with individual articles about each of them, we decided to consolidate them into a mega casting update article which features the organic to the bizarre additions that are being talked about.
First off, there are rumors that Rihanna has been approached for a villain role in the sixth film because the writers find her perfect for the character. But nothing was confirmed. In fact, if her rep is to be believed, she has no idea about it. She told Perez Hilton:
"As far as I'm aware this is not true."
But we feel that there may be some truth to this regardless. But if she was actually joining the film, she would be fighting the bad-ass fighter turned actress Gina Carano who impressed us in her starring role in 'Haywire'. The actress is now confirmed to be in talks to join the sequel. She confirms this to EW:
"It looks really positive and I'm so excited."
The word is that she will be on the right side of the law alongside the character of Dwayne Johnson.
In more predictable news, Michelle Rodriguez has officially joined the movie to reprise the character of Letty that she played in the previous films until her supposed demise. Anyone who went past the credit sequences in 'Fast Five' got the reveal that her character was never really dead, which perfectly set up her return to the franchise. And now, it's official.
But aside from that, Twitch reports that Luke Evans has been offered the role of the villain in the film which was something Jason Statham earlier passed on. He's a pretty cool actor and I enjoyed his work recently in 'The Raven', and could actually do a great job as a villain if he actually ends up accepting the offer. Which I think he might.
And now for the weirdest update of them all, according to Latino Review, director Justin Lin and fan favorite actor David Tennant (Dr. Who, Fright Night) have been having talks about a role in the film. We don't know whether it'll be on Vin Deisel's side of Dwayne Johnson's, but it could be on the villain's side even. There's not even a confirmation at all for this, but looks pretty legit although it's strange to see him in the running for anything beside some comic relief.
So that's pretty much it … for now. Thoughts?

As a sometime Grammar Nationalist myself, I can't understand it. I'm an English major, and respect being corrected, because it means I'm learning. Everyone ********* on the awful grammar of Facebook and Twitter and random texting, but if more people acted like Grammar Nazis, it wouldn't be as much of a problem.

For me, the worst problem is that the people I correct, doesn't seem to care that they misspeak or pronounce anything wrong. And that is a crime to the language, of every nation. It destroys it, modifies it, and frankly, makes it sound more retarded. In Denmark, when people want to say the word "kilometer", they sometimes say "kilomet", because they in some retarded way, think that because of the "-er" at the end, it signifies plurality. When I correct them, and they say I'm wrong, I say "Well, are you 1 met and XX centimeters tall?"
It's a disgrace.
It's a disgrace.

I am Doug from the Pittsburgh area. Planted my first flower garden of various annuals this summer and it flourished :-). Now need some ideas on what flowers to plant this fall that I can see bloom when Spring arrives. Tulips I know. :-). But any other suggestions? I am still a bit of a novice :-). Also, any good Internet web sites where I can buy the bulbs or should I just opt for Home Depot of local garden shops. Thanks! Doug |

Doug there is still time to plant bulbs for early spring bloom. Daffodils, tulips, cocus etc. need to be planted in the fall. Annuals can be planted in the spring after the danger of frost ( usually around mothers day) and will bloom until fall - then the die and need replanted. Perennials can be purchased now and planted now ( soon) and will bloom for a period of time ( 3-4 weeks on average). Flowers will die, but plant will remain and live through winter and bloom next year. You have not said if you have sunny location or shade, what the soil is like - All will impact the type of plants we can suggest for your site. I.e Hostas like shade , Blackeyed Susan likes sun.... Pittsburgh should have a few nice garden centers. Start there and you will learn from the staff move about your plants and what does best. I like HD and Lowes, but in some stores you may not be able to find a person that can help you with more detailled knowlege of the plants. I attached a link to my blog. You may find some information that will be helpful - Mike |

Above and below right: NYIT's New York campus improvements include a new auditorium in Manhattan, a solar carport, and upgraded research facilities in Theobald Hall.
Big things keep happening at NYIT as the university expands its New York City presence with the acquisition of a new auditorium at 1871 Broadway, two doors down from our main building located on the corner of Broadway and West 61st Street. The new, 250-seat facility will be used for lectures, conferences, movie screenings, and film festivals, as well as other events for the NYIT and external communities. The 9,000-square-foot NYIT Auditorium on Broadway is slated to open in October 2009.
On the Old Westbury campus, the newly renovated Theobald Hall will house six state-of-the-art chemistry and biology labs, two prep rooms, three retrofitted classrooms, and new faculty offices. Funded in part by a New York state grant, the renovation includes sustainable design elements such as recycled building materials, low-water-consumption plumbing, and energy-efficient lighting, as well as improved heating, air conditioning, and ventilation systems.
Also on Long Island, NYIT demonstrated its commitment to innovation and sustainability once again with the unveiling of its first solar carport at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 27 in Central Islip. U.S. Congressman Steve Israel participated in the ceremony with President Edward Guiliano and other members of NYIT's faculty and administration. Part of NYIT's "One Spot, One Car, One Commute" solar plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (S-PHEV) project, the freestanding, four-car carport prototype uses overhead solar panels to collect energy that powers the auto-mobiles. The project is one aspect of NYIT's "green print" initiative that Israel helped make possible through a $500,000 federal grant to research alternative fuel technologies and reduce energy emissions.

I bought the 4 pallette eyeshadows on holidays in August! Only (very) recently, I realised the brown one I loved was Sable...not Tempting!! Woops! I love it! The texture is amazing and it is so pigmented. I love wearing it with a light colour like Retrospeck on the lid and Sable in the crease. I have read it is amazing on it's own on the lid. I need to try this! I haven't been brave enough just yet!!

Sable is one of those e/s i have that I go to a lot. I wear it with purples like sketch, but it also looks good with brighter colors like amber lights. It even looks good by itself. This product is well worth the money you spend because it's highly pigmented and a little goes a long way! I have hazel//green eyes but this looks pretty on blue-eyed girls too :)
Whoa! A little goes a long way, talk about maximum pigment, but oh so lovely! As previous posters had noted, it is a frosty medium brown, with a touch of copper, and a hint of purple and red that has great lasting power. Looks lovely with brown or deep bronze eyeliner. It's incredibly flattering on my brown eyes and I can also see it pairing well for green-eyed ladies.

I just re-discovered Sable and wow, do I love it!!! A must-have for blue eyes! Up until now, I have used Sable in the crease or on outside corners. Often times, I paired it with Jest or Jete. Today, I applied it all over my lid and am stunned at the outcome, what a beautiful color this is: plummish taupe with hints of bronzy burgundy/pink. Glides on like a dream and has just enough shimmer, does not sparkle. Quite a unique color and now that I've hit pan and started thinking about whether to repurchase, the answer is a strong YES.

This is a reddish brown color. I didn't like it the first time i wore it and i thought it was too red. But now i realized how much it opens up my eyes. And the texture is so smooth and much more long-lasting than other eyeshadow brands I've used. Love it!
This is exactly ' Satin Taupe's ', warmer sister like another reviewer said. Instead of the ash it has plummy/gold. I am in love with it, I can't stop wearing it with Jest in the inner eyelid, Sable on the outer eyelid and crease, and Wedge above the crease. Very pretty como!! Definatley in my top 10 fav shadow's!
More reviews by redheadreporter
Beautiful shade - lovely brownish, purpleish with shimmer. Very complimentary for fair skin and hazel eyes. Very pigmented. Awesome quality.
this was one of my first MACe/s and one of my favorites. its a shimmery (frost finnish) plummy brown; dark enough for rease work but light enough for lid. so rarley can I find a product that would actually look good on all eye colours and skin tones but sable deffinetly fits the bill. the packaging is great (my friends have dropped it maby times and just when i think its gonna shatter it doenst) and its incredibally pigmented. ive had mine since july and its january now and i havent even made a dent!!! i have yet to find an e/s that this doesnt pair well with (so far only satin taupe IMO) but my favourite is naked lunch. if you want a quick smokey eye just put sable all over your lid into the crease and under the eye if you want. a hillighter is optional. pair it with some brown eyeliner and mascara and your done!! go buy this!!!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I absolutely love this e/s. It works great as an all over lid color. I usually apply this as just an everyday look and it really complements my skin tone and makes my eyes pop. I also use this as a blush sometimes which is a bit unconventional but it does look great if you use bronzer! I'm already close to hitting pan on this after using this for just 3-4 months (which rarely happens), and I will definitely repurchase!

N No RX Petcam, ovember proved an eclectic and productive reading period for me -- even if I didn't get much else done. I started things off with Italian fabulist Italo Calvino's excellently mesmerizing Invisible Cities, a series of imaginative prose-poem meditations on memory and semiotics wrapped up in a spiraling chapter structure, Petcam india. It's the sort of thing that has you reading passages twice in varying order -- in fact that's almost required. Petcam overseas, This is the first Calvino I've read and, such was its impact, I now have about five of his books sitting in my 'to be read' pile, 30mg Petcam. Highly recommended.
I made the transition from cities to wilderness with Jane Goodall's In the Shadow of Man, her popular memoir detailing the founding of her ground-breaking observational studies of chimpanzees, No RX Petcam. Petcam ebay, Whether Goodall talks about the issues of setting up a research camp at Tanzania's Gombe Reservation or the detailed life-cycle of the chimpanzee, the book is consistently fascinating. Social behavior, Petcam australia, emotions, Petcam coupon, child-rearing, tool-using, aggression, 20mg Petcam, hunting, Petcam craiglist, mating, hierarchy, death -- the whole gamut of chimp behavior is unveiled as it becomes known to Goodall herself through observation, Petcam japan. A classic work of zoology, Petcam canada, one accessible to anyone.
The Death of Ivan Ilyich took me from the man's shadow to man's end with its examination of mortality and fatal illness. No RX Petcam, Tolstoy's short novel tells the story promised by its title -- the death of one Ivan Ilyich, a satisfied middle class professional whose comfortable existence is destroyed by his own terminal illness. From the discomfort or disbelief of his friends, 500mg Petcam, to the sterile theories of his doctor, 40mg Petcam, Ivan Ilyich receives no sympathy or acknowledgment of his condition from anyone -- save a simple peasant lad of his household. A powerful and moving account of both how we experience the awareness of our own demise, and how very few of us can accept the inevitability of death even as it stares us in the face, Petcam usa. An essential book; doubly so if you've ever watched a loved one succumb to a terminal condition. Petcam paypal, For lighter fare, I turned to the poet laureate of all things noir, Raymond Chandler, 200mg Petcam. The Little Sister, with its overcomplicated and somewhat strained plotline, is not one of Chandler's best, though even his lesser efforts show flashes of genius not seen in more conventional practitioners of crime, No RX Petcam. The Little Sister is at times sinister, Petcam uk, humorous, satirical, and bleak -- but it is the rapid-fire cynicism of one passage in particular that has a fed-up Philip Marlowe skewering all the sham and pretension of 1940s LA -- punctuated with a rhetorical "Easy Marlowe, Petcam us, you're not human tonight"-- that comes across as most memorable. 750mg Petcam, This novel would be followed by arguably Chandler's greatest, The Long Goodbye.
From classic crime I transitioned to classic science fiction, Petcam mexico, and Stanislaw Lem's Solaris. 50mg Petcam, Translated from Polish into French into English, the prose in my edition had a bit of a sterile quality that didn't win any points with me. No RX Petcam, But it was the meat of the book, and the strange quirks of narration, that made it a worthwhile read. As anyone who has seen either of the movies based on the novel knows, 250mg Petcam, it is essentially a story of a researcher who is sent to study a planet, 10mg Petcam, only to have the planet end up studying him. Lem's book has a very different feel than much of that of his contemporaries, a difference of perspective I'm looking forward to revisiting in my Five Book Challenge when I tackle The Cyberiad, 100mg Petcam.
Finally, 1000mg Petcam, I finished the month with a new(ish) fantasy: Scott Lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora. Fast-paced, stylish, 150mg Petcam, and as clever as a bucketful of ferrets, Lies' 700 plus pages whipped past like a novel half its length. I won't say much more about it as I plan on reviewing this one -- look for it, and the resumption of a more regular review schedule, in 2010.

Scheduled maintenance for Tuesday, September 1st, 2009 {WoW}
Sep 1st 2009 5:23PM Not sure why it takes all freaking day to do maintance. One minute it down until 11:00 then the next moinute its done until 2:00pm pst and the you go back in and they say another hour...It's funny that they never take any money every month when they are done for 12 hours. It just amazes me how long it take them to do this. And lately it has been once or twice a week. They need to get it together or start charging less money every months.

Water injection looks promising for glass-filled nylon automotive ducts, like this part molded by Engel at the K 2001 show.
Smooth internal part surfaces is one of several advantages water has over gas injection. (Shown here, a sample of a PP rackethandle from the IKV in Germany.)
Four different approaches to water injection differ in scrap generation and surface quality. (Source: Engel)
Water-assisted injection molding is the newest way to mold hollow or partly hollow parts. It's basically similar to gas-assist molding as a means to core out thick sections. But water-injection technology (WIT) comes with a big advantage: direct cooling inside the part. The thermal conductivity of water is 40 times greater than that of gas, and water's heat capacity is four times greater than gas. "With the cooling capability of WIT, cooling cycle times can be reduced to only 25% of that of gas," says Helmut Eckardt, technical director for low-pressure injection molding at Battenfeld Injection Molding Technology in Meinerzhagen, Germany.
But the potential for faster cycles is only part of the story. "There are many reasons why the technology is attractive," says Friedrich Westphal, head of Project Management Engineering (PME), a German supplier of WIT systems. He says that if done correctly, WIT can yield thinner, more uniform part walls, which adds to material savings. WIT's ability to produce a smooth internal part surface, which is much more difficult with gas assist, makes injection molding much more competitive with blow molding. Some sources also believe WIT can produce larger void spaces and longer hollow sections in parts than gas can. A. Schulman in Germany helped produce a prototype PP shopping cart that had a water channel 3 meters long!
Water injection molding burst onto the scene in a big way at last fall's K 2001 show in Dusseldorf, Germany. R&D on the process has been under way at a number of European injection machine suppliers, independent makers of gas-assist equipment, resin companies, and others. The impetus for much of this activity was a 1998 report on WIT research at the Institut fur Kunststoffverarbeitung (IKV), a plastics processing development center in Germany. The IKV continues active development of the process.
WIT is already in limited commercial use in Germany and several projects are in active development. But because WIT is so new, a number of technical questions remain to be answered. Researchers are seeking to define the proper water temperature, pressure, and flow rate, as well as the effect of internal water quenching on resin crystallization and molded part properties.
There are also numerous hardware questions: "The injection press and processing are unchanged in all aspects up until it is time to inject the water," says Jorg Dassow, manager of application technology at Ferromatik Milacron in Germany. "At that point there is a question of how and where to inject the water, how to evacuate the water, and the related tooling and control technology needed to accomplish it." Other issues center around pin and valve design and mold modifications. All of these are reasons why knowledgeable parties are quick to point out that WIT should not be considered a drop-in substitute for gas assist.
A number of suppliers offering systems for gas-assist have modified their equipment for WIT use. Currently, there are seven firms offering WIT technology. These include three systems from press suppliers: Aquamold from Battenfeld, Watermelt from Engel, and AquaPress from Ferromatik Milacron Europe. Independent sources of WIT equipment are Alliance Gas Systems, Cinpres Gas Injection, Maximator in Germany, and Project Management Engineering (PME) in Germany. One materials supplier, Rhodia Engineering Plastics in Germany, developed its own WIT system for materials-testing purposes, but does not intend to offer it commercially. All WIT R&D is occurring in Europe at the moment, but suppliers expect the draw of lower cycle times to attract users in North America.
"Water is a niche process right now, so it is important that no one promises too much, " cautions Oliver Phann schmidt, head of the injection molding department at the IKV. He recalls that when gas-assist first arrived on the scene, it had a tough incubation period with processors, who had little technical help when they tried to take the technology into new areas of molding.
The chief difference between water and gas is that gas is compressible, while water is not. When injected into the melt, the leading edge of the water forms a solid boundary or highly viscous membrane. The membrane forces molten material forward, instead of the polymer forcing the water to the side. The primary reason for this action is the higher viscosity and incompressibility of water compared with gas. This viscous front acts as a ram that cores out the part. The front also cools the melt as it is pushed down the mold cavity by water pressure. "Gas-assist operates at a pressure of 300 to 2500 psi, while water-assist generally operates in a range up to 4350 psi," says Kai Jacobsen, manager of machine sales and technologies for Engel.
"Gas can migrate into solution with the polymer. Water is a different story," notes Jacobsen. If gas permeates the polymer, it can roughen the inner surface of the part when the gas migrates out again. However, Steven van Hoeck, v.p. of sales at Alliance Gas Systems, believes the rough inner surface could be due to too much pressure on the gas or leaving the gas in the part too long—both causes for the gas to begin to act as a foaming agent.
Suppliers agree on several other differences between gas and water injection. Gas, unlike water, can branch into smaller flow streams inside the part, creating an undesirable fingering effect. The unpredictability of gas behavior makes it very difficult to control wall thickness, while water makes wall thickness uniform and repeatable. And has already been noted, gas does not cool the part.
(There is, however, a new gas-assist technology, called KoolGas, developed by the Warwick Manufacturing Group, part of the Advanced Technology Centre at the University of Warwick in England. It can increase the cooling effect of gas by cryogenically cooling it as far as -292 F, and/or circulating gas through the part at a high rate of up to 75 liters/min.)
For shrinkage and sink reduction, molds can be pre-pressurized with gas before melt is injected, or gas can be introduced between the non-appearance side of the part and the mold. Water, however, would likely mar the surface of the part and couldn't be used for that purpose.
"Overall, we do not see competition between gas-assist and water-assist," says Mark Paddock, v.p. and general manager of Cinpres Gas Injection. "Generally speaking, thicker parts and ones with longer flow paths could be good for water assist."
Molders looking to apply WIT to large multi-cavity tools should be cautious, suppliers warn. They recommend the process for tools having no more than four to six cavities. "Molders shouldn't think about molding with a 12- or 16-cavity tool, because process control will be much more difficult," says Engel's Jacobsen.
A number of companies expect the first users of WIT to be gas-assist molders seeking to capture the potential for lower cycle times. Tubular parts, automotive fuel lines and other fluid systems, handles, roof racks, fascias, bumpers, door handles, clutches, and steering-column supports are some of the areas where suppliers are hopeful the technology will get its first major toehold. Other products being considered include baby strollers, handles for kitchen items, office furniture, shovels, brackets, and general fittings.
Thilo Stier, technical director at A. Schulman in Germany, says the first commercial use of WIT was an all-plastic shopping cart made by Sulo GmbH in Herford, Germany. The project started in 1998. It used Schulman's PP and PME's WIT technology to mold a part with three water channels from 20 to 60 mm diam and 800 to 1500 mm long. The PP trolley had previously been molded with gas-assist in 280 sec, while WIT took just 68 sec.
Engel's Jacobsen says a chain-saw handle made of a 30% glass-filled nylon was molded in 30 sec with WIT vs. 61 sec with gas assist.
Ferromatik reports that a PP part produced in a single-cavity test mold took 60 sec to make as a solid part, 40 sec with gas-assist, and 30 sec with WIT.
At IKV, a two-material sports racket was made using Battenfeld's Aquamold process. It is a three-shot process with two materials plus water. The water flow path splits to core out the racket frame. The first shot molds the handle and frame of 20% glass-filled PP from Schulman. The second shot makes the web of unfilled PP. The third shot injects water into the frame. The incompressible water supports the hollow frame while the web is being injected, notes Battenfeld's Eckardt.
PME cored out 6-8 mm diam. glass-filled nylon pipes with gas and with water. The wall of the gas-assist part was two to three times thicker than with water. "WIT trimmed the walls to about 2 mm in a shorter cycle," says Westphal. The WIT part showed improved mechanical properties even with less material, he adds.
WIT technology has already found some success. PME appears to lead all other suppliers: In 2001, PME had 12 systems operating commercially or in advanced projects. The firm has received an order from a Dutch firm for a system to produce 960,000 appliance handles and to convert production of a another hollow handle from steel to plastic using WIT. The latter project involves 360,000 units. PME is also doing tests for BMW to convert an automotive duct from gas-assist to WIT.
Maximator's Rupprecht says its first serious molding applications with water will be considered by a molder in coming weeks. "But we will look to do it with gas first," he adds. Alliance has eight to 10 candidates. "We are selecting only two or three for further evaluation of WIT, with the rest likely going to gas-assist," says van Hoeck. Alliance has done WIT trials with makers of personal water craft. The 2-ft-wide part has massive internal sections hollowed out with gas-assist, but the gas leaves a 1-in. wall. "With water, we can trim the wall thickness considerably and cut cycle times by 2 min," says van Hoeck.
Battenfeld has about 10 Aqua mold projects in the works, and Engel has eight to 10 projects in trials. Cinpres and partner Factor have five projects moving toward commercialization. All are tubular products for the auto industry. Each is being evaluated for either gas or water.
WIT can be applied in one of four processes. The sequences, similar to the process variations seen with gas-injection technology, vary by filling of the polymer, introduction of the water, and evacuation of the water by gravity or air.
This method is considered good for very thick parts. It involves no wasted material and no regrind. Entry and exit points for water (and air) can be at/near the same point. Disadvantages relate to the tight control required. Too little material can lead to water bursting through melt into the mold. Water injection pressure must be higher than the melt pressure to push it to end of fill. The switchover point from resin injection to water injection may cause hesitation marks on the surface of the part, so a Class A finish may not be feasible. Also, material at the end of a short shot is likely to form a thicker section that could lengthen cycle time.
This approach reportedly can provide a Class A surface. It is closest to conventional molding, offering a wider processing window. It also requires lower water pressure than the short-shot method. On the downside, displaced material from the core has to be recycled. Secondary trimming is needed to separate the finished product from the excess material in the secondary cavity.
A common factor in WIT processes is the need to purge the water. Gravity works in some situations, but some suppliers advocate sequencing WIT with gas-assist. Alliance Gas Systems says its WIT systems include a pressurized gas purge. For sensitive materials, Alliance can supply a gas-assist system with a secondary water injection, followed by a gas purge. Suppliers remark that the entire process of injecting and evacuating water takes just a few seconds.
Commercial WIT systems consist of stand-alone water-delivery hardware with pressure, temperature, and flow controls. The control also operates water and air valves in the tooling. Many systems have water filtering, as well. Each company also has its own specialized water-injector nozzle or pin. Some injectors can handle both water and purging air. Some perform dual service by passing water both into and out of the mold. Maximum water-pressure and flow rate capacities also vary from system to system. Most systems require a signal from the injection unit to initiate the cycle.
Testing and development of materials for WIT is being conducted in Europe by resin companies such as BASF, Bayer, DuPont, Rhodia, and A. Schulman. The two leading candidates for early commercial uses are nylon 66 and PP. Also being tested are polycarbonate, ABS, PC/ABS, HIPS, PBT, acetal, and copolyester TPEs.
DuPont, for example, reports promising WIT results with its Zytel EFE73-92 30% glass-filled nylon 66 in making a 1-in.-diam. cooling duct for BMW. "This part is currently made with gas-assist in 60 sec, but we have tested the same material in the same mold with WIT in 35 sec," says Bender. DuPont has also looked at other thermoplastics such as its Hytrel polyester TPE. "We think WIT may be used across our product line, including acetal and PBT." Bender adds, "We've been working with WIT technology for a year and a half. I expect to see commercial developments in automotive next year."
Some industry sources have raised questions whether WIT could cause such rapid quenching of crystalline resins as to change the crystalline structure and thus the performance properties of parts. Information obtained so far from materials suppliers does not indicate any perceptible effects on material microstructure. On the other hand, more macroscopic effects do occur. Crystalline materials can be a problem with WIT because they form a skin so quickly when cooled, says Stier of A. Schulman. He says materials should be tailored for slower crystallization to yield smoother inner surfaces and fewer hesitation marks on the outside. Since 1998, Schulman has had six commercial WIT applications running its nylon, ABS, and PP materials, and eight more projects are in the works.
DuPont has found that rapid quenching of crystalline nylons can cause shrinkage voids inside the part wall, which can compromise structural properties, according to Klaus Bender, process supervisor for DuPont's Engineering Polymers technical center in Switzerland. DuPont and Engel tried injecting warmer water to counteract this problem, but using water up to 140 F had no effect on nylon, Bender says. This result appears to indicate that materials modification for slower crystallization may be a better solution.
This prototype nylon automotive duct molded by Rhodia indicates how WIT can produce wider hollow sections with thinner walls than can gas-assist. Resin suppliers are evaluating grades for WIT.

ASD & Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
Aug 8 2012
Dec 31 2014
America/New York
Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience, Division of Developmental Medicine, Boston Children's Hospital
Brief description:
Together with the University of California, Los Angeles, we are investigating the development of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), a genetic disorder. Up to 60% of children with TSC develop autism, but often the diagnosis is not made until much later in childhood. Our aim is to identify pathways to earlier identification of autism spectrum disorders, which leads to earlier interventions and, hopefully, better behavioral outcomes.
To properly investigate the development of children with TSC we are also recruiting typically developing children to provide comparison data.
Eligibility for Study Participation:
Typically developing infants 3 to 12 months of age who
have no history of pre or postnatal difficulties
Infants with TSC from 3 to 24 months of age
Participation Details:
If you decide to participate in this study, which has a longitudinal design, it will involve multiple visits to the LCN at regular time points during your baby's first 3 years of life. Each visit will last about 2 1/2 hours and will be scheduled at a time that is convenient for you and your child. Parents will be with their child at all times. There is also an optional sleeping MRI portion of study.
Full Description:
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in either the TSC1 or TSC2 genes. TSC is characterized by the widespread growth of benign, tumor-like nodules called hamartomas in multiple organ systems, including the brain. It is strongly associated with cognitive impairment, behavioral disturbances, and autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and these neurodevelopmental disorders can cause significant disability from early infancy through adulthood.Cognitive impairment has been reported in 44-80% of individuals with TSC, ranging from learning disabilities to more profound intellectual impairment.
We are using behavioral tests as well as measures of the brain's electrical response to faces to characterize the development of children with and without TSC and evaluate their risk for autism. We will follow infants from age three months through age three, at which time they will be evaluated for autism concerns. We will then determine if any early abnormalities in behavior and face processing can predict autism in these infants.

The town of Wells provides access to several small lakes close by that are great for canoeing and kayaking.
By far the most famous is the chain of lakes located within Bowron Lake Provincial Park, about 32km/20mi east of Wells in the Cariboo Mountains.
This chain of nine lakes has become renowned in North America and Europe for its pristine wilderness setting, great wildlife viewing and spectacular canoeing and kayaking. It encompasses 116km/72mi of lakes, rivers and short portages, which loop around rugged mountain peaks that average 2,100m/6,900ft in height.
The chain forms a rough rectangular shape and begins and ends with Bowron Lake.

Counter-clockwise, the lakes are as follows:
Wildlife sighting is common on the canoeing circuit and bird viewing is almost compulsory, even for the uninitiated. The lakes teem with fish, including trout and kokanee, a landlocked form of the sockeye salmon. Sport fishing is permitted with the appropriate license (available online or via local suppliers).
July and August are the busiest months for visitors, but September's fall colours are the most beautiful for wildlife viewing and canoeing or kayaking. Nights here can be cold.
Local tour operators offer guided trips in the area (some actually depart from Vancouver), including the lake chain. Operators must have a relevant park use permit, so ask about this when booking.
These operators supply extensive woodland knowledge and safety, as well as all the required gear and equipment. Whitegold Adventures, Bowron Lakes Canoe Tours, and Pathways Canoe Tours are among local suppliers.

The momentum that comes from acts of kindness has helped comfort and show support for Newtown and Boston bombing victims -- and it all started in Tucson.
Last year's tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary shook the nation to the core. In many ways, it's something Tucson knows all too well. After the January 8th shootings, we became aware of the importance of showing love and supporting our fellow man.
As a token of that, Tucson had a banner created and allowed the community to sign it with their personal condolences, thoughts and prayers. It hung at the Children's Museum on a Saturday and collected messages of hope and support. Read the story and watch the video.
It was shipped to Connecticut, where the people of Newtown accepted it with gratitude.
Then, on April 15 the following year, there was Boston.
The bombings, just like past shootings, shook a community.
Newtown decided to pay it forward, with inspiration from Tucson's banner. They made a banner of their own and shipped it to Boston.
The Boston mayor wrote a letter.
"On behalf of the people of Boston, I thank you and the people of Newtown for sending me the banner filled with signatures and words of prayer and support," Thomas Menino said. "Rest assured Boston and Newtown stand together, not just during tough days but for all days."

choose such a candidate for tandem and he will be nominated in two days'
time. According to Beknazarov, elders in the north of Kyrgyzstan have
already chosen a single candidate. However, he did not name the

Kyrgyz Prime Minister Almazbek Atambayev said in an interview
Aug 15 that the US Manas airbase should be withdrawn from the
country once its lease expires in 2014. THe US plan has been to
leave then anyway -- need to mention. K - I'll also mention this
comes as the same day Atambayev officially threw his hat in the
presidential ring
Atambayev added that certain international obligations have had
a negative affect on Kyrgyzstan's image, and therefore
Kyrgyzstan must "execute an already concluded agreement."
Atambayev, who is expected to win the country's presidential
elections in October, has been a staunch ally of Russia and will
likely further Moscow's interests if he takes the presidency.
However, a stronger presidential system following the elections
could put Kyrgyzstan at risk for instability internally and
complicate Russia's hold over the country.
Why Atambayev is significant:
* Atambayev is front-runner in presidential race, with
elections currently scheduled to be held in October
* He is known to be very pro-Russian - as PM, he has visited
Russia several times, notably in times of crisis (like when
Kyrgyzstan was recently facing a fuel shortage) as a
demonstration of his ability to have a good working
relationship with Moscow.To put it simply, Moscow chose him,
not that anyone out of his group wouldn't have done.
* Atambayev has also spoken in favor of Kyrgyzstan joining
Russia's customs union.
Why timing is significant:
* This also comes as Kyrgyzstan is in talks with Russia to
open a second military base in the country's south in Osh
and to create a unified military command for Russian
facilities across the country
* Removing the US Manas airbase would solidify Russia's hold
over the country militarily, not to mention put into
jeopardy further US military facility plans in Kyrgyzstan
* This also comes in the lead up to Medvedev-Obama sit down
and is another show of Russian leverage over the US
Wider implications:
* Ironically, it was a weak presidential system of government
under interim president Roza Otunbayeva that gave Kyrgyzstan
the fragile stability its seen since the April revolution
and the June ethnic violence, precisely because it was too
weak to make major decisions
* With the upcoming presidential elections, it is likely that
Kyrgyzstan will return to a stronger presidential system and
a weaker parliament
* Under a stronger president, the country - which is split
between north and south - becomes disenchanted, especially
when bold moves are concerning strategic assets like Manas
(one of the main reasons leading to the revolution, though
certainly aided by the Russians) Not neccesarily. When I
talked to the Kyrg Econ Min, he said that under a strong
prez, things can actually get done. Ppl like this. Now this
doesn't mean that your next point won't happen bc of the N-S
divide, but be careful in saying ppl would become
disenchanted....... they won't be disenchanted bc of strong
presidency... the south will be angry about being ruled by a
northerner... ppl actually like the strong presidency if he
can get shit done. Ppl are sick of the chaos. That's true, a
stronger president will be more likely to get things done.
But it depends on what kind of things he does, and thats
where the possibility of N-S tensions can still be a problem
in terms of social stability. Will be sure to make that
* Because Atambayev is a northerner and doesn't have
significant support in the south, any bold moves made on his
part will be under close scrutiny
Therefore while Atambayev will likely facilitate Russia
strengthening its position in Kyrgyzstan (as demonstrated by his
Manas comments), increased power to the post of presidency and
bold moves made by Atamabayev -or whoever gains the post - could
put raise the risk for instability within Kyrgyzstan. As is
everything within Kyrgyzstan, such moves will need to be
carefully managed or else could turn into a larger crisis for
Russia in the country.

At Ferragamo, red and black come together to make an elegant mahogany that looks just as supple as the collection's amazing leather satchels.
Like Kate Spade's cheeky, Parisian-inspired presentation, the polka-dotted manis were equal parts sweet and sophisticated.
The Mystery-Machine manicures at Nicole Miller were even groovier than her psychedelic-printed frocks—it's like Spin Art for your nails— in a good way.
The glittery biker chick nails at The Blonds have got us seriously considering lethally long, Gaga-worthy talons.
At Badgley Mischka, queen of glam Deborah Lippmann gives the basic half-moon manicure a gilded makeover.
We love the ultra-glossy ruby red nails at Marchesa. The shade looks amazing on every skin tone and it's versatile enough to wear year-round.
The dusty-looking, shimmery nails at Rodarte are like a desert sunset—the perfect compliment to the Mulleavy sisters' Australian Outback-inspired collection.
Just when we thought we'd seen every kind of reverse French manicure under the sun, Donna Karan shakes it up in elegant nude and maroon.

The Cottage Records brings us this 7" record from Weak Teeth. This self titled piece of vinyl kicks a whole lotta ass in a short amount of time. Less than nine minutes is all this five song EP needs to blast through your speakers. I'll be the first to admit that I hate most new hardcore that comes around today, but Weak Teeth takes me back to high school, when there was a lot of screamo based hardcore, now most of that shit sucked but there were some real good bands in there too. If this record came out back then Weak Teeth would be one of the great bands. They come in hard and fast and don't let up until the very end and not the end of the song until the end of the EP. Most of the songs are pretty short, one of them isn't even a minute long but they're fast hard hitting and fucking hardcore. With this record playing you can feel a pit around you, even if it's just in your head. If you're a fan of things like The Exploder, Pg. 99 (pageninetynine), or Charm City Suicides this band will most likely quench your hardcore thirst.

"We are not normally lentil eaters, but I decided to try this recipe because it was cheap, easy and looked good. It was fantastic! I sprinkled it with tabasco-vinegar sauce and it was even better! Next I'm going to try making a sandwich with it. Thanks Cornelia for the great recipe!"

Aging sucks! Body parts inconveniently break down, emergency room visits become routine events, hospital bills shock you, and your mailbox gets filled with resources and products that all of a sudden make sense. And I haven't even begun to talk about my own aging experiences.
I am referring to aging parents.
My dad recently fell ill from a nasty infection, and it had my entire family in a tailspin. We were called on to expertly navigate his healthcare network, practicing a lot of patience and handling with care all of our family's emotions that were flying around like spastic woodpeckers. In five weeks we visited the emergency room twice, dined in the hospital cafeteria during his three-day stay, made trips to a nursing facility for a week-and-a-half, brought Dad home with 24 hour care, and nursed him back to a new normal. My mom initially freaked out when confronted with new tasks she had to do and lifestyle changes she had to make. (She eventually came through and performed like a champion.) My dad listened to my mom with love and understanding and did whatever she said to do to help him get back on track. My brother and I stepped up to the plate and painstakingly embraced the shift in the parenting structure.
Our families and friends loved us by listening as we yelled and cried, climbing mountains of helplessness, frustration, sadness, and hope.
This was a hard five weeks. But there is no other place I would have chosen to be than with my family during this time. We have new tools, new experiences, and a new appreciation for our lives and each other… as the journey continues.
Empower yourself by completing all of your own and your parents' power of attorney documents and healthcare directives, and get your own affairs in order for end of life. Trust me, when hit with an unexpected turn of events, living in the moment will be a lot less anxiety producing.

Camping in Glen later this week and looking to ride Red Tail Trail up and down on Friday and Saturday morning. Is it fairly easy to find and follow? I know it's behind the water tower off Hurricane Mt Road, but I don't know if it's marked clearly. Any tips/info would be greatly appreciated.
(A guide would be even better, but I had no luck finding riding partners last time I was up there)

Management Sponsored by
Recently, when I was delivering a seminar to a large group of spa owners, I mentioned the necessity of building a strong teamwork culture.
One of the attendees, in a quite abrupt manner, said she was fed up with hearing about teamwork; she only wanted to learn a foolproof formula to obtain good employees and then to be able to keep them for the long term and not just for a few months. From her attitude, it was obvious why she might have trouble finding good team members, let alone retaining them.
No one has a foolproof formula for every staff management issue that comes up, but there certainly are ways and means that can be adopted to provide the best possible outcomes for finding and keeping high-quality employees. In fact, good spa management often attracts quality applicants. Because this is a small industry and many estheticians know each other, the word quickly gets around about which companies are good to work for and which ones aren't so good. Although finding the right employees is an obvious goal, creating an environment in which they want to continue working is also vitally important.
In a team-oriented environment, every member contributes to the overall success of a business. What you may not know is that building an effective teamwork culture takes a variety of skills and input from management all the way down to the most junior team member. From a management angle, it requires a manager to have an understanding of human nature and to realize that not everyone is alike—and what a boring world it would be if that were the case. Managers must be able to show respect to every employee and to communicate directives or information well, while leading by example, and inspiring and motivating the team as a whole. But employees also must contribute and understand that to be good team members, they have to like working as a team. This is not always the case, as can be seen with some diva employees who want to run their own race. This can be a problem that needs to be resolved before you are ever able to obtain the team your business needs to succeed.
Although there is a wide variety of theories about how to develop a strong teamwork culture, all agree there needs to be a strong leader; one who realizes her key role involves coaching team members to achieve their best. Now the problem here is that, although most spa owners and managers know this, there are very few who take the time to do it. And although there are many reasons why this doesn't happen, by far the most common is that owners or managers are too busy treating their own clients, doing the book work and performing all the other little tasks necessary to keep the business's doors open.

Gear Review
nice cut but RUN BIG
I like the fabric,i like the length (long enough!!!) and the slim hipped,low rider cut. However, I wear a zero/00/24 in designer jeans (True Religion, Paige, Lucky,Elizabeth and James) and XS in Nike and other brands and these XS' s slide right down my hips. They are at least two inches too big in the waist and hips. That is the only reason for not five stars.

Statement of Non-Discrimination and Affirmation of Diversity
WISR admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the Institute. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, or sex or disability in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, or any program that it administers. In addition, WISR seeks actively to build a multiracial, multicultural learning and teaching community, in which the central values are built on the worth and distinctiveness of each person's background, going beyond our differences to celebrate qualities and needs that we all share as humans. WISR actively encourages interested members of ethnic and racial minority groups, women, and other underserved persons to discover whether its programs and methods fit their special, personal and community interests and goals.
For undergraduate admission, a high school diploma or GED certificate is required. For admission to a Master of Arts program, a Bachelor's degree is required, and for admission to study for the Ed.D., each student must have a Master's degree.
All admissions to study at WISR are made on the basis of intensive conversations with applicants about their goals, interests, and backgrounds, and applicants are told about the kinds of learning and action that are involved in studying with us. Initial discussions may be informal. WISR is interested in working with students who find a common bond with the Institute's stated philosophy and goals. WISR also seeks students who want a flexible program, tailored to their individual needs, but who also want discipline and rigor in their studies. These and other issues are discussed frankly and openly with each serious applicant, and students' intelligent self-selection to study at WISR is very deliberately emphasized. Many tentatively interested inquirers are discouraged from formally applying if their specific interests, personal maturity, or resources of time and money do not promise success in study here.
In particular, each applicant must discuss her or his background and objectives with a core faculty member, usually WISR's President. Interested persons are routinely encouraged to visit WISR seminars and to talk with other faculty, students, and Board members of WISR, to gain several perspectives on study at WISR and a sense of the learning community that they may be joining. In practice, an informed self-selection process typically takes place.
Calendar and Enrollment
WISR's fiscal year begins on July 1. Programs continue year-round, although seminar activity is usually less in the summer. Students may apply, be admitted, and begin study in any month of the year, and may complete their programs in any month.
Transfer of Academic Credit to WISR Received from Other Institutions
Subject to the specific qualifications and limitations listed below, students may transfer credit to WISR from other California State Approved programs and from regionally accredited institutions. If the student has received credit from an institution that has neither of these statuses, then WISR faculty will evaluate the student's work and/or other evidence regarding the quality of the student's work at the previous institution to determine if it is comparable in quality to the work typically done in California Approved and regionally accredited institutions. [Note under current California law, "Approved" means, "approval to operate" which means compliance with state standards as set forth in the California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009 (California Education Code, Title 3, Division 10, Part 59, Chapter 8)]
No more than 90 semester units may be transferred from other institutions toward WISR's 124 semester units required for the BA. No more than six semester units of graduate study may be transferred toward WISR's 32 semester units required for all MA degrees offered by WISR. No more than 21 units of doctoral level credit may be transferred toward Doctoral studies at WISR.
Undergraduate: All undergraduate units earned by a student from any regionally accredited or California State-approved college or university are routinely accepted for credit by WISR. Undergraduate units from foreign institutions or from unaccredited institutions and those not approved by the State of California are accepted by WISR if they can be translated into U.S. equivalents or in quality of work expected of students at WISR. Nationally recognized standardized tests suh as the CLEP tests WISR will also be consider for credit.
Graduate: For WISR's MFT program, students who have completed academic work which clearly meets State guidelines and WISR's descriptions of the core courses required for WISR's MFT MA in Psychology option may then receive up to six semester units of transfer credit. Courses transferred for students entering the MFT program are evaluated by WISR's President, sometimes in consultation with licensed MFT's on WISR's faculty, to make certain that the course titles/descriptions closely parallel State guidelines, as well as WISR's descriptions for core MFT courses.
In other graduate programs at WISR, each student's prior graduate study is taken into careful account, in planning out her or his program of study, in order to build on the student's strengths and avoid duplication of efforts. Some graduate course work is accepted for transfer in such cases. At the request of the prospective student, the President, often in consultation with a Board-appointed subcommittee of two or three Board and/or faculty members, who hold graduate degrees, evaluates the student request for transfer of credit. Credit is accepted for transfer only if it is determined, after examining the student's transcript(s) and/or samples of the student's academic work, that the work to be accepted for transfer credit is comparable in substance and quality to work expected at WISR. For MA students a maximum of six semester units is transferable, and at the doctoral level, a maximum of 21 semester units is transferable.
Foreign Students
Foreign Students—No ESL Instruction, no I-20 status, but assistance in obtaining permission to visit:
WISR does admit students from other countries. However, WISR does not provide English as a Second Language, or English as a Foreign Language, instruction. All instruction is conducted in English. Some students who are not native English speakers, but who are fluent in English, have enrolled and successfully completed programs at WISR. WISR's admissions process helps all prospective students to assess their skills, learning needs and interests, and aids the prospective student in determining whether or not WISR can meet his or her educational needs. Enrollment at WISR does not provide foreign students with I-20 status (i.e., WISR students do not qualify for foreign student visas.). However, WISR has and will vouch for a student's enrollment status and verify that WISR requires all students studying from a distance to visit WISR for a few days every year or so. By so vouching and verifying, WISR is usually able to assist foreign students in obtaining permission to visit the United States for a brief period, for this purpose.
For More on Admissions
Each prospective student should read and explore our website carefully, and in particular, should read the following sections as first steps in learning about how to enroll at WISR:
- Admissions
- Admissions Application
- Admissions Interview
- Learning About WISR
- Tuition and Fees
- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
And, of course, each student should carefully read the extensive details in the various subsections under "Academics."

Pavlova with a Passionfruit Curd
Epicurious | August 1999
Australian Food: In Celebration of the New Australian Cuisine
makes 4 servings
- 4 egg whites
- 2/3 cup superfine sugar
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 2 eggs, plus 2 extra yolks
- 5 tablespoons fresh passionfruit pulp
- 1 oz. unsalted butter cut into small dice
- 1/4 cup superfine sugar
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Oil a large piece of baking parchment on a baking sheet. Put the egg whites, sugar, vinegar, and hot water into the bowl of a food mixer and whisk at the highest speed for 5 minutes until soft, white peaks form. Spoon the mixture into an 8 inch round on the oiled paper -- or spoon 4 high rounds on the paper to make the individual pavlovas. Cook in the center of the oven for about one hour and ten minutes, until crisp. (The individual pavlovas will take less time, about 1 hour) Allow to cool on wire rack.
To make the passionfruit curd, put all the ingredients into a bowl set over a pan of simmering water and stir constantly until the mixture starts to thicken and take on the appearance of a thin custard. Continue to cook, still stirring, until it thickens further, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat immediately so as not to overcook. Ladle the curd into a clean jar or container, and leave to cool before covering and refrigerating.
To serve, whip the cream into soft peaks and place onto the pavlova base spreading out to the edges with a palette knife. For the individual pavlovas, place a spoonful of cream on top of each pavlova. Pour the passionfruit curd over the top.
