This eyeshadow is decent, just a bit expensive. It looks great paired with MAC Parfait Amour. It shows up more pink than purple on your eyelids, but regardless a decent color. I'd rather buy MAC Stars N' Rockets if I wanted a color similar to this.

This is my favorite deluxe eyeshadow. For me, it goes on more as a pink with purple sheen than a purple. It's pretty sheer by itself so I normally layer it over pink eyeliner and it looks gorgeous (that is, if you're a pink e/s lover like I am). My friend has Mac's Stars n' Rockets and it reminds me a lot of that, and I have this in the pallete and I'm close to hitting pan so when I use that up instead of getting the single version i'd probably just go get SnR and save my mom the three dollars =P

This is such a pretty color but this is another deluxe shadow that just didn't meet my expectations BUT I have found that if you use hot topic's purple eyeliner as a base it makes the shadow pop and stay pretty true to the color in the pan. I think I can find a better purple shadow that's similar to this though. I don't think I'll buy this one again.

Love this color. So vibrant and pretty. I usually put some on my lids, line the bottom and top it off with some mascara.

i've found this to be one of my favorite colors in the deluxe palette. goes on fairly well, somewhere between sheer and similar to what's on the plate. in my opinion, it's -gorgeous-, a purple with pink undertones and almost a blue iridescent sheer. often i'll just use it straight with no other colors and a heavy black shadow line and it's super smokin'. possibly one of the better selections from the deluxe line IMO.

I adore the packages their Deluxe Eyeshadows come in, and the color payoff is usually pretty good, but this one just fell short of the mark. It's like a slightly more purple version of MAC's "Stars n Rockets", and you really have to layer it on there to get the color to stay, no matter what base you use. I probably won't swap this just yet, but I'm a little disappointed, especially since I have MAC's version already.

Fishnet is an interesting color... Its a sort of orchid purple with a blue sheen. Like the rest of the Urban Decay Deluxe shadows it has a pretty nice texture (Not powdery, but not creamy) and blends well with decent staying power. My friends use it a lot more than I do, but only because they usually filch it from my drawer.
I have paired this with U.D.'s SWF for a pretty petal look and with Peace or Graffiti for something more wild for the clubs.
Like the other three I have, the top broke and one of the others got smashed just by dropping it, so be careful... They cost too damn much to break all over!

I love, love, LOVE it. Not the exact same color on the lids as in the pot, but still very nice. I'm not disappointed one bit. And with a little primer potion, this lasts all day and night with no touch ups. It's a wonderful purple, very vibrant and full of pigment, just the color I've been looking for.

This is a fun, funky, frosty medium purple in a cool little compact with a mirror inside. I like it a lot but $17 is steep for an eyeshadow I'm not completely in love with. I also have Adore which I am in love with, and I'd shell out $17 for that again.

As always, the Gettysburg Times has the scoop on what's happening in Gettysburg.
Project Gettysburg-Leon's fourth annual Salsa Dance on the Square is set for Friday, Oct. 1, from 6-10 p.m., on the first block of Carlisle Street in Gettysburg. The event marks Gettysburg's more than 25 years as a sister city of Leon, Nicaragua and celebrates the contribution of Hispanic people to Adams County.
At 6 p.m., as Carlisle Street closes from the railroad crossing to the Square, more than half a dozen local restaurants and caterers will be open for business with food from a variety of traditions.
Let's hope the weather cooperates for everyone's sake. Sorry to say I'll have to miss this, as it sounds like a great time. On the other hand, I can't be too sad, as we plan on spending the weekend in the Poconos. Anyone ever been to Arlo's?

All-inclusive pioneer focuses on growing his upscale brand.
Kingston, Jamaica–The hotel industry faces some harsh head winds today, but Breezes is just fine with John Issa. One of the pioneers of the all-inclusive resort concept and the founder and chairman of SuperClubs Resorts , Kingston, Jamaica, is in the process of realigning, elevating and expanding his Breezes brand across the Caribbean and deeper into Latin America, with developments in Panama and further into Brazil.
Issa says early 2009 performance has been solid, which has provided the impetus to rebrand several properties in the portfolio. On November 1, the super-inclusive resort group will rename its Grand Lido Negril and Grand Lido Braco hotels Breezes Grand Negril and Breezes Rio Bueno, respectively. In addition, this year SuperClubs is bringing its family-focused Starfish Trelawny under its Breezes umbrella. When the rebranding exercise is complete, there will be 11 Breezes Resorts in six countries. Issa says he is looking for further opportunities for the brand in the Caribbean, as well as in Central and South America.
"Breezes is our best-known brand with the widest appeal, and as such, we are hoping to better capitalize on its name recognition in today's crowded marketplace," Issa says. "Our aim is to create brand consistency, and this restructuring process is the first step in achieving our goal."
Breezes Panama will be located along the southern Pacific coast of the Cocle province in the beach resort community of Santa Clara and will feature 300 rooms and a spa. Breezes Buzios near Rio de Janeiro will feature 110 villas, along with 330 rooms and suites.
Across the Caribbean, established Breezes hotels have undergone major refurbishments. Breezes Bahamas, for example, recently completed a US$10 million upgrade. Concurrent with those developments and upgrades, two Breezes that do not meet standards will be rebranded or marketed by the owners on their own.
SuperClubs also is trying to roll out its Rooms brand, which has the traits of a bed-and-breakfast concept. There are Rooms in Ocho Rios and Negril, Jamaica, with discussions ongoing in a number of Caribbean locations, according to Issa.
Working Harder
Issa says the 32-year-old group is dealing relatively well with business conditions. "People will travel if you offer something special," he says. "We have had to advertise aggressively and always have some special promotion. People get used to not buying at list price. In these conditions, you have to work harder, as nothing comes easy."
Jamaica is relatively well positioned due to solid air service, says Issa, who calls the Bahamas "pricey"–even with decent air service. "We do well there, and compared to Atlantis, we look like a bargain. However, the east and south Caribbean are suffering due to airlift cutbacks."
Issa says the company recently completed a "free night" promotion, which led to occupancies above 90% in the Bahamas and at Runaway Bay in Jamaica. In early March, he started offering a US$600 savings program (an average calculation on a five-night package). "Guests appreciate value, and by simplifying all of our brands, it allows us to do more advertising," Issa says.
Looking ahead, Issa says it is hard to predict bookings, as the window is getting shorter. "At the end of the day, the business environment is forcing us to get more efficient," he says. "We are having good success with scheduling, central buying, and we have established a central laundry in Jamaica."

Mary, Queen of Scots
Mary, Queen of Scots
biographical name(born Dec. 8, 1542, Linlithgow Palace, West Lothian, Scot.died Feb. 8, 1587, Fotheringhay Castle, Northamptonshire, Eng.) Queen of Scotland (1542–67). She became queen when her father, James V (1512–42), died six days after her birth. She was sent by her mother, Mary of Guise, to be raised at the court of the French king Henry II and was married in 1558 to his son Francis II. After Francis's brief rule as king (1559–60) ended with his premature death, Mary returned to Scotland (1561), where she was distrusted because of her Catholic upbringing. In 1565 the red-haired queen married her ambitious cousin Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley, and became a victim of intrigues among the Scottish nobles. Darnley conspired with them to murder her confidant David Riccio. After the birth of her son James (later James I of England) in 1566, Mary was estranged from Darnley, who was murdered in 1567. Ignoring objections by the jealous Scottish nobility, she married James Hepburn, earl of Bothwell (1535?–78), a suspect in Darnley's murder. The rebellious nobles deserted her army at Carberry Hill and forced her to abdicate in favour of her son (1567). After failed attempts to win back the throne, she sought refuge in England with her cousin Elizabeth I, who arranged to keep her in captivity. Several uprisings by English Catholics in Mary's favour convinced Elizabeth to have Mary tried and condemned; she was beheaded at Fotheringhay Castle in 1587.

You always will get compared to other installers which aren't curses anymore. The people installing over SSH aren't the new users a GUI installer is targeted at anyway. As far as the choice for a widget set, gtk2 seems logical to me. It may be allegedly slow on older systems, but we're talking about 3 buttons on a screen here. And if the installer is considered slow, well what's gonna happen when someone does a GRP install of stable GNOME or KDE. That's gonna be real slow desktop-ing. You just shouldn't try to create something like an installer for everybody, just target your wanted audience and thats it. I'd say the target audience here is new (linux) users on fairly up-to-date systems. What i saw from the installer here is pretty much what I'd like to see from a final product : only a few steps, basic system setup so you can be up and installing in no-time, don't ask for conformation on all sorts of specific apps you never heard of (eg. in a desktop situation it's hard enough for a new person to know the difference between GNOME & KDE). For an 'expert mode' I would point to our well documented manual installation process. - foser -- email@example.com mailing list

The stage was set for Canada's Patrick Chan. The figure skating star that had won everything except Olympic gold just watched his rival, Japanese teenager Yuzuru Hanyu, falter in the free skate.
It was there for the taking. Chan was four and a half minutes away from doing what no Canadian man had done before: win figure skating gold at the Olympics.
Maybe it was the weight of the moment. Maybe it was the tired legs that affected just about every competitor on Friday. Chan didn't have it.
He made three glaring mistakes during a 'safe' program. He played not to lose and lost.
The competition was over, but the fun had just begun.

The Madison County Farm Bureau was well represented at the Annual State Women's Conference which was held recently in Daytona Beach, Florida.
This Annual Meeting is held each year as a Leadership venue for over 100 Farm Bureau Women from all over the state.
Madison County Farm Bureau had seven ladies to attend this year.
A certain highlight of this year's event was a Farm Tour of several Volusia county agricultural operations. One stop was a huge fernery and a really good tour stop was an orchid and rare plant nursery. The largest farm stop was at a huge horse farm.
During the meeting part of the event, the ladies heard speakers talk about all the "Misinformation" that is being placed in the national media about animal agriculture and what they can do to work with local and state media to combat this misinformation.
Madison County Farm Bureau has always been extremely involved with the State Women's Program in Farm Bureau.

If you've ever seen the joy on a child's face when a mom or dad returns from deployment, you've seen a glimpse of how some military kids see their parents—they are heroes! Even though most children aren't mature enough to grasp abstract concepts like patriotism, nearly every Operation Purple® "Top Ten" list included a statement of pride about their parent's service.
But, in communities where there aren't many other military families, children may feel alone or may be hesitant to say their mom or dad is in the military because it singles them out as different. Reinforce a child's pride in their parent and strengthen the bond between the child and parent with these strategies:

4.19. That's the number that has left NFL scouts aghast, after watching Northern Iowa WR Terrell Sinkfield run the 40 at the University of Minnesota's pro day. For those skeptical of such a ridiculous time, ESPN.com is here to help.
"The blazing time came in his second attempt at the 40 and was so fast that he was asked to run a third time, something none of the other prospects who participated in the pro day was asked to do, according to FoxSportsNorth.com."
Sinkfield ran a 4.27 on his first attempt and a 4.4 on his final run. It's the middle time that will have NFL talent evaluators searching for Sinkfield's game tape as the draft approaches. Again, the time is unverified but this is still pretty remarkable. Chris Johnson ran a 4.24 in 2008, the fastest official time recorded at the combine.

Voting for the latest SBOBET Player of the Month award is now open, so who will take the honours for May?
Andy Carroll was voted as the Hammers' top player for April, but with both games so far this month drawing a blank for the forwards, the prize will end up in a different pair of hands.
Having kept a clean sheet in the 0-0 draw with Newcastle United at the start of May, goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen is on the list of nominees.
The Finn also made a string of fine saves to restrict Everton to a 2-0 victory last Sunday, while defender James Collins is also shortlisted for his performances in those two matches.
Skipper Kevin Nolan had the Hammers' best two efforts against the Toffees, forcing a fine save from Tim Howard with a left-footed drive, and hooking a volley just wide, while he was also denied by Newcastle keeper Rob Elliot when they faced the Magpies.
Completing the four-man shortlist is left back Joey O'Brien, who gave committed tough-tackling displays against both Newcastle and Everton.

Stem Cell Research Points Way to Possible Type 1 Cure
Australian researchers have released a study on stem cells that potentially could lead to type 1s being able to make their own insulin, erasing the need for regular injections.
Dr. Ilia Banakh and Professor Len Harrison from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne report that they not only devised a way to identify and isolate stem cells from the adult pancreas, but also developed a technique to essentially "switch them on," encouraging them to become insulin-producing cells able to release insulin in response to glucose levels.
In type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system kills off the pancreas's insulin-producing cells, resulting in elevated and uncontrolled glucose levels which have to be managed by injections of synthetic insulin.
But insulin-analog treatment rarely achieves the best results, and while pancreas transplants in most cases restore insulin production to near-perfect levels, the process is both costly and risky.
"Thus, there is a strong imperative to derive renewable sources of insulin-producing cells to 'cure' T1D," the researchers stated in the study that appeared Nov. 9 in the peer-reviewed scientific journal PLOS ONE.
Although cells with properties similar to stem cells have already been discovered, this new research is even more positive, according to Harrison, because it could help unlock the secrets of insulin production and ultimately help people with diabetes end their dependence on insulin injections.
"What Dr. Banakh has done is pinpoint the cell of origin of the insulin-producing cells and shown that the number of these cells and their ability to turn into insulin-producing cells increases in response to pancreas injury. This is exciting, because it means that the potential to regenerate insulin-producing cells is there in all of us, even as adults," Professor Harrison said in a report that accompanied the study.
As part of the study, Banakh and Harrison led a team that first isolated stem cells in test tubes and encouraged them to produce insulin, and then injected them into mice, where the cells maintained the ability to produce insulin.
"In the long-term, we hope that people with type 1 diabetes might be able to regenerate their own insulin-producing cells," said Harrison. "This would mean that they could make their own insulin and regain control of their blood glucose levels, curing their diabetes. Of course, this strategy will only work if we can devise ways to overcome the immune attack on the insulin-producing cells that causes diabetes in the first place."
The study was funded by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia.

merrick and lost are for people who want to be cool and surf like other people and be like other people
merrick and lost are for people who want to be cool and surf like other people and be like other people
Dumpster diver and White Diamond are two completely different boards. Same concept but that concept has been around forever. There where no blueprints of the dimensions that Dane took photos of on his bowtie camera and brought them back to Al Merrick and said "I got the plans"
I have said it a few times on this forum...I love CI's foils...real smooth and even. Great stuff that has been refined and refined! Personally, I have had a few CIs...2 MSFs, 1 MSFG2, and a Proton...liked 'em all at one point or another, but all were bought used and could never justify buying a new one. Flat out they're overpriced...
In my opinion, the problem with CI is that they're a west coast company pumping out boards for a west coast coast type of surfer--only 1 board in their line even speaks to/about east coast waves and wave types--not saying that they only work on one coast, but our geography is quite different. Local shapers get it...they surf our fickle conditions and know what works---you're not dealing with only an order form...typically you can find someone local enough to talk to about your shape and design..what you're lookign for, will a straight single or just a double benefit you,etc.
As for the issue of using similar type of technologies and such (bottom contours, etc.), the problem with this type of industry is that it is apprentice based and incredibly small. Cross over is going to happen everywhere and refinement is going to occur...unless whatever you are doing is part of your branding...realistically, haven't seen much issue with this yet. Even the Dane/WD issue was moreso a contractual issue...bottom line the Dumpster Diver is nothing like the WD.

CI makes the best pop-out on the market. Way overpriced, but i guess they have to be with a payroll like this http://www.cisurfboards.com/team.asp
If your a pro, you get a hand-shaped board from Al himself. You can sit in the bay with him and tell him which direction to sand. If you are ... you and I... you can buy a very nice CNC copy that was glassed by some migrant workers and shipped to your local franchise surf shop. Iv paid the $7something for a new flyer, and I really liked it. I have paid a lot less for locally made boards that are as good or better, in my humble opinion.

travy,i'm not a rebel,or a shredder,so you can sell your ci's,it won't make you like me.sorry if it bothers you i don't want to be or surf like other people
so sounds like the 'migrant worker' did a great job for you?
there are some valid points made against buying a ci but i swear most of the criticisms make no sense and are completely uninformed. if you don't understand why they're great boards, you probably shouldn't comment on them.
True. I think your post nailed it. And Merrick has done exactly that with great skill, precision, and creativity. People question his creativity and innovation. But creativity isn't just creating something new. It's also the creative application of things that already exist. I've only bought one Al Merrick board in my life. Great board. But I've examined hundreds if not thousands of them.... and I mean I studied them almost in an obsessive/compulsive way. From both a design and craftsman's perspective, his boards are brilliant. No question about it. Nothing over the top whacky. No miracle "next great thing" faddishness. But very complex and cohesive elements of design brought together in a synergistic fashion to create a board that has an intended purpose.
Slick marketing? Luck? Divine intervention? Whatever, man. The guy's boards are great. Now it's up to you to pick the right one for you, for where you surf... he's got plenty to chose from.

Actually, I lost the flyer to tail rot, a common problem with CI's. Im sorry that your so defensive about this. I mean-You knew what you were getting into when you bought it, its for show and for go. The show costs you an extra $250. Dont get me wrong, they go. I tried not to get all localist hippy on you, but every CI board that sells for $700 lays the path for next years $750 model.
Again- CI certainly isnt keeping kelly (or you) out of any tubes. Good surfers surf well on whatever fits their style and wave conditions, regardless of manufacturer.

On Thursday, July 12, 2012, at approximately 8:45 p.m., Ocean City Police responded to the area of 7th Street and Philadelphia Avenue in response to a call for two suspects who had just passed a counterfeit $100 bill. When police arrived in the area, one suspect was being detained by employees of the establishment and one suspect had fled.
At approximately 9:05 p.m., Ocean City Police received an additional call from a business on 4th Street and Atlantic Avenue for a suspect who was attempting to pass a counterfeit $100 bill. The employee, who was able to determine the bill was fake, stalled the suspect until officers arrived.
An initial investigation revealed that the two suspects, who were identified as Gusyen Aliyev, 28, of Brooklyn, NY and Mikhail Eugene Dikler, 29, of Brooklyn, NY, were entering into local businesses and using a counterfeit $100bill to purchase a nominal item. The counterfeit bill, which was a very high quality of counterfeit, would yield the suspects in excess of approximately $90 of change in real U.S. currency.
As a result of the investigation, 16 counterfeit $100 bills were recovered. In addition, approximately $5,000 in actual U.S. currency, believed to be the proceeds of these counterfeiting crimes, was seized. Aliyev and Dikler were arrested and charged with multiple counts of possession of counterfeit, the issuing of counterfeit and theft. After an initial appearance by an Ocean City District Court Commissioner, both men were held on a $35,000 bond.
The Ocean City Police Department commends the businesses that had the diligence to detect and deter these crimes by contacting law enforcement. Citizens are encouraged closely examine currency by looking carefully at the money you receive by being aware of the security features located on currency.
The three main security features located on bills are: shifting inks on the number, security threads, which display the denomination of the currency imbedded in the bill, and the watermark of the main image on the face of the bill located on the right side of note.
Ocean City Police Department is offering these tips to detect suspicious or counterfeit currency:
- The genuine portrait appears lifelike and stands out distinctly from the background. The counterfeit portrait is usually lifeless and flat. Details merge into the background, which is often too dark or mottled.
- On a genuine bill, the saw-tooth points of the Federal Reserve and Treasury seals are clear, distinct and sharp. The counterfeit seals may have uneven, blunt or broken saw-tooth points.
- Genuine serial numbers have a distinctive style and are evenly spaced. The serial numbers are printed in the same ink color as the Treasury Seal. On a counterfeit, the serial numbers may differ in color or shade of ink from the Treasury seal. The numbers may not be uniformly spaced or aligned.
Ocean City Police are asking that residents and businesses contact the department if you locate suspicious currency. In addition, the department reminds businesses and community groups that a crime prevention officer is available to conduct counterfeit awareness presentations upon appointment through the Public Affairs Office.
For further information on detecting counterfeit U. S. currency, citizens are encouraged to visit the United States Secret Service Web site at: http://www.secretservice.gov/know_your_money.shtml

"Having visited Mattakesett with my family as a child, I brought my own family to the Vineyard to share the Mattakesett experience with them. Now, they love it as much as I do. The view, the beach, and the Children's Program are some of the reasons we look forward to staying at Mattakesett and Winnetu Oceanside Resort each summer."
Terri Potter — Baltimore, MD
"Staying at The Winnetu was everything we wished for in a summer vacation. Across from a beautiful beach, it's close enough to Edgartown's main shopping area…We spent a lot of time together as a family yet, while our four-year-old daughter enjoyed the Children's Day Program, we could also do our own activities…The setting is clean and relaxing, the people are friendly, and it's very family oriented…Knowing that we are going back there next summer, makes the long winter more bearable. We wouldn't go anywhere else."
The Sternbergs — Newton, MA
"We decided after our first day at The Winnetu that it would become our family's annual summer vacation. Everything was perfect. Our suite was modern and perfectly appointed with great views of the ocean. The beach was a quick walk and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The Children's Program was a key component to our successful vacation. The kids talk about going back to camp on Martha's Vineyard all winter long!"
The Lynn Family — South Burlington, VT
"Going on vacation with five kids isn't always a vacation! With all of the activities at Mattakesett, we kept all five children – ages 4 months to 9 years – happy and even got a change to have some fun ourselves! The kids met wonderful friends from all over the world and can't wait to come back again next summer!! Thanks."
The Presutti Family (Whitney, Guy, Samantha, Jacqueline, Max, Grayson, and Alexandra) —
Winchester, MA
"The Winnetu is our favorite family resort. It is the best way to experience all that the Vineyard has to offer, in the most hassle-free way. For years, we have enjoyed the camp, family barbecues and clambakes. Our family has made lifelong friends here. We can't wait to come back this summer!"
The Zander Family (Emma, Ben, Julie and Chris) — Chappaqua, NY
Winnetu Oceanside Resort is the quintessential Martha's Vineyard Resort at spectacular South Beach, Edgartown, offering both Martha's Vineyard hotel accommodation and Martha's Vineyard vacation rentals. As one of the Island's leading resorts, our range of resort activities is extensive - Winnetu is your ideal vacation destination.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll! | 1 I looked again--and there before me was a flying scroll! |
2 And he said to me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits." | 2 He asked me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a flying scroll, thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide. " |
3 Then he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land; for every one who steals shall be cut off henceforth according to it, and every one who swears falsely shall be cut off henceforth according to it. | 3 And he said to me, "This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished. |
4 I will send it forth, says the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it shall abide in his house and consume it, both timber and stones." | 4 The LORD Almighty declares, 'I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of him who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in his house and destroy it, both its timbers and its stones.' " |
5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, "Lift your eyes, and see what this is that goes forth." | 5 Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, "Look up and see what this is that is appearing." |
6 And I said, "What is it?" He said, "This is the ephah that goes forth." And he said, "This is their iniquity in all the land." | 6 I asked, "What is it?" He replied, "It is a measuring basket." And he added, "This is the iniquity of the people throughout the land." |
7 And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the ephah! | 7 Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! |
8 And he said, "This is Wickedness." And he thrust her back into the ephah, and thrust down the leaden weight upon its mouth. | 8 He said, "This is wickedness," and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed the lead cover down over its mouth. |
9 Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings; they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven. | 9 Then I looked up--and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth. |
10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are they taking the ephah?" | 10 "Where are they taking the basket?" I asked the angel who was speaking to me. |
11 He said to me, "To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it; and when this is prepared, they will set the ephah down there on its base." | 11 He replied, "To the country of Babylonia to build a house for it. When it is ready, the basket will be set there in its place." |

A great way to break into Pharmaceutical Sales?
Pharmaceutical Contract Sales Organisation's and Contract Sales Positions are growing in popularity. With all the difficulties candidates experience in getting into a Sales position in the Pharmaceutical and Medical Industry, should this be your goal? First, let's cover the basics. Pharmaceutical Contract Sales Companies/Organisations (C.S.O's) do not only provide both pharmaceutical sales representatives and managers, but also now days' supply more and more clinical and marketing personnel to pharmaceutical and medical companies. Pharmaceutical sales representatives working for these organizations are often referred to as "contract representatives" and may work on a full or part-time basis. A large percentage of Pharmaceutical and Medical Companies in South Africa now prefer to access new rookie representatives through this source, as it creates a try-before-youbuy model. The South African model, (where the representative's success is measured by how quickly they get taken on to headcount) is very different to the rest of the world. In most other major markets, the C.S.O's actively retain the representatives and encourage a career pathway within the C.S.O. This distinguishes the C.S.O. from labour brokers, and a lot of emphasis is put on training and personal development during the representative's career. Having worked myself in C.S.O's in various European markets, I have seen the benefits first hand. My personal development opportunities came quickly and my career 6 Pharmasales progression was not limited in any way. I could go as high up in the organisation as I wanted, as long as I put in the hard work and produced the results. From a job satisfaction point of view our teams had a great time. In most cases there are differences in the compensation between Pharmaceutical Contract Sales Organisations (C.S.O's) and Pharmaceutical and Medical Companies. The salary and benefits from pharmaceutical companies tend to be higher than that of contract representatives. Contract representatives may be paid a salary with or without commission on top, or paid per doctor call depending on the terms of the contract. In addition, contract representatives are not typically provided a company car, but given a vehicle allowance for using their personal vehicle. This said, more and more Pharmaceutical companies have moved away from the traditional company car policy to a car allowance offering. However as with most Pharmaceutical and Medical companies, most C.S.O's will offer cell phone allowances and contributions towards medical aid. So the difference if any is just the idea of working for the Pharmaceutical Company or a C.S.O. Pharmaceutical C.S.O's are in more and more demand as pharmaceutical companies increasingly utilize them for a variety of reasons which include: * New Product Launches, * Sales Force Expansions * Temporary boost in their Sales Force to meet their product goals. As a result, quite a few contract representatives enjoy permanent pharmaceutical positions within the contract sales organization and wish to stay there. Remember, as someone looking to make a career of Medical Sales, it's a great opportunity to gain experience in the pharmaceutical sales field. Another advantage is that many contract representatives enjoy the variety that comes from working on different contracts with diverse pharmaceutical companies. This gives them an exposure to a range of companies and they then can decide which company they want to work with if they intend to move across. But the biggest advantage with starting your career with a C.S.O. is that the entry requirements are usually less strict than those of the pharmaceutical company, so it's easier to get in. So at the end of the day it is up to you to decide. We have quite a few C.S.O.'s in South Africa, and you will also find some of the recruitment companies running the odd contract. I Listed below are a few of the larger contract sales organisations in South Africa at present * Quintiles http://www.quintiles.com * Safrimed http://www.safrimed.co.za * Favo Health http://www.favohealth.co.za * Innovative Healthcare Solutions

Need ideas for the rehearsal dinner. My son lives near Greensboro NC and wants our input about what to plan for the rehearsal dinner this summer.
Critieria: 1. There'll be 60 guests
Any suggestions on how to do this, and maybe a restaurant idea if you know the area? I'm out of state and don't know the area or the restaurants. TIA |

Is there a place where you could have a barbeque? Perhaps a park that contains grills. That would be relaxed and informal, hopefully a contrast from the formality of the wedding day. |
I think it would be hard to do a BBQ yourself for that many people, especially out of town. Even if you were on familiar turf and had your own refrigerator, etc., it is a big weekend for you; you want to be able to enjoy yourself, not worry about cooking for 60. I do like the idea of a BBQ, but I would still hire someone to do it, and be sure to choose a spot with an indoor pavilion in case of rain. Also consider that not all venues, especially public parks, permit alcohol, if that's an issue. I would either use an inexpensive restaurant or a caterer, or if that's out of range, something you can purchase, like sandwich platters, fried chicken, pasta & salad bar, or pizzas, at some pleasant location. You don't know the area, so it's hard for you to know about caterers and venues. Your son lives there, but I gather he doesn't know these things, either. But I bet he DOES know some local maven who does. Ask him to ask that person if s/he would mind if his mom called for some advice -- I guarantee you, s/he will be flattered and happy to help (wouldn't you?). Tell that person your approximate head count and budget and ask for some ideas. That will get you started. Have fun! |
60 people at a rehersal dinner? That's one big wedding! I agree about perhaps having an outdoor event (be sure to get a tent) and having someone cater it...but simply. A clambake, maybe? Burgers and hotdogs? Chicken? Keep it simple and enjoy yourself. |
This thread might open up the much debated issue of WHO should be at a a rehearsal dinner. I'm assuming that 60 includes more than the wedding party, immediate family, wedding participants (speakers, family members who will sing, etc.) and their spouses? Would it be possible to pare it down some? If not, your only real choice is a restaurant or something else otherwise catered or something. If you are hosting it (paying for it) you can dictate the budget (and number of guests). |
I've been to a few rehearsal dinners with 60 plus guests. Every destination wedding that we've attended included the guests at the dinner the night before. At one, the groom's parents hosted a "low country boil". It was held pool side at a small country club. Casual dress, one pot meal, warm bread, cold beer and wine. Very fun evening. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Low Country Boil
That last post reminded me that often the night-before dinner is some kind of local specialty, especially where all the out of town guests are invited. I know pulled-pork barbecue and fried chicken are both popular in NC, and either one would be fun and inexpensive, even at a restaurant. |

I married in Iowa, my ILs are from NYC. I don't remember negotiations, but I decided that DH & I would "host" the rehearsal dinner, and we'd include out-of-town guests (which were really only family, nobody farther from us than first cousins). Hey, they all had to eat anyway. So I asked mom and my brothers to help, and we barbecued. "we"--I bought the stuff, did the planning, and gave my brothers $60 for ice and a trash can to put it in, and they went out to the shelter house at the county park and started grilling. So, in a way, my BROTHERS hosted the rehearsal dinner. |
I thought traditionally, the groom's parents host the rehearsal dinner and my DH's parents paid for ours. We invited the members of the bridal party & spouse/guest as well as immediate family members (parents & siblings) of the bride & groom. There was probably 40 people there. (I would also include out of town guests but none of our out of town guests arrived until the day of the wedding as it was an evening wedding) |

Look into a BBQ in the back yard. Call the local restaurants to see what you can order in their "catering" menu. El Pollo Loco, for example, a chicken fast food restaurant, makes great catering dishes. You pick it up in those great big, deep extra heavy, dissposable aluminum "baking pans" and they have a lid. We also have had great "cater carry out" from the local BBQ restaurant, Chinese restaurant, etc. If you want, you could fire up the grill and do some additional foods to fill in, such as burgers (get them frozen into patties from Costco or Sam's Club), kielbasa, hot dogs, or whatever. You could also mix up some Ranch Dressing and make up some fresh carrot sticks, celery sticks, cauliflower, broccoli, and green beans or peas in the pod for dipping. Don't overlook the grocery store deli section too, where you can get baked beans and salads such as macaroni and potato. Buy a sheet cake from Costco. Reasonable and tasty. Chill some beer, wine and soda and you are set. |

WASHINGTON, August 29, 2013 — The Willard InterContinental in Washington, D.C., along with eight other InterContinental properties across the U.S., is inviting fans to play an online sleuthing game.

on April 9, 2013As you already know this year marks the 140th anniversary of the Levi's 501. What you may not have known: This day, April 9th, marks the release of The Cary Grant Film Collection, a new set of six of the actor's celluloid offerings. Seemingly unrelated? Yes. But look deeper.
Because as it turns out, the man who achieved style icon status for his impeccable tailored looks also liked to dress things down on occasion. And when he did, his brand of choice was You guessed it: Levi's. According to a book released by his daughter Jennifer in 2011, Grant preferred shopping at the Gap when the two strolled the Fox Hills mall in L.A. together, as it stocked 501s the only kind of jeans he wore. Apparently, he felt that they "got better with age," and appreciated the lack of an obtrusive logo. We're inclined to agreed.
And that's not the only indication of his fandom. The letter above, from June, 1968, shows that aside from being impressively well-written Grant was the recipient of a gift of four western shirts from the good folks at Levi's. He wasn't too keen on the styling of the "gold-threaded finery," but he was gracious nonetheless, even noting that he'd happily run out the nearest store to buy up a more muted version of the shirt, should one be released. Seems he valued understatement over flash. Again, we're inclined to agree.

Why on earth would a Confederate general have Union soldiers buried In his front yard? Because it was not his decision.
When Virginia ceded from the Union in 1861, Robert E. Lee moved his family from their Arlington farm. During the civil war the estate was captured by Union forces and military installations were set up there. The grounds of the estate were soon used to bury the remains of fallen Union soldiers.
General Lee's descendants challenged the seizure of the property in the courts following the end of the war, and the estate was returned to Lee's son, Curtis Lee. Congress later purchased the property from Curtis Lee for $150,000, and it has remained in US government hands ever since.
The name of Robert E. Lee's property is now known as Arlington National Cemetery. It has been the principle resting place of fallen soldiers since the civil war up until the most recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Arlington is also the resting place of slain US president John F. Kennedy.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Amazon!
Facts about Amazon
- Breed: Alaskan Malamute/Husky Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Amazon's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
They call me the amazing Amazon! Why amazing? Well, I have kind of had a hard life. I have spent most of my life outdoors and while outside the flies literally ate my ears off, I don't have nice pointy tips on my ears like most huskies do. But I haven't let that bother me, I still love my people and love their attention and the more you pet me the more I will lean into you. I also love my stuffed toys, I love them so much I won't destroy them, I just love to chew them and play gently with them and take special care of them. I love the people at Wild Dog and even love to be brushed which is good because if you know my breed you know I blow my coat! I do know some of my manners, like sit and shake. I am an all around nice dog just looking for a family to hang out with.
Other Pets at Wild Dog Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Amazon, a Fennville Alaskan Malamute/Husky dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Alaskan Malamute/Husky for sale in Fennville, or seeking a Alaskan Malamute/Husky dog from a breeder in Fennville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Fennville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Fennville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Alaskan Malamute/Husky breeders who help with Alaskan Malamute/Husky rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Fennville paves the way for another one to be saved.

We are installing a new Mirage Lock engineered floating floor and trying to decide the best underlayment to use. Mirage sells Uni-Mat 3 in 1 membrane but allows comparables for the warranty. I was quoted about $65 per 100 sq ft. roll for Uni-Mat.
We're installing most over a particle board subfloor with a little over (dry) concrete. Our local flooring store sells Quiet Walk. I've read on this forum people using Floor Muffler. I think the Quiet Walk is more a recycled eco-friendly material where the Floor Muffler is a synthetic...right? (whatever that means) I really, ultimately hope for the quietest, most solid feeling floor I can possibly get. Thanks for any and all the advice you can offer! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Are you adding the underlayment because your floor sqeaks? If so have your tried securing the floor to the joists with screws? Trying elimiating as much sqeaking as possible before installing the new floor. The underlayment will help muffle sound, but I suspect you will still hear it. |
We need underlayment because it's a floating wood floor. I'd just really like suggestions about what underlayment/matting will make this feel more solid feeling (vs. "spongy") and not "clicky" sounding. Mirage suggests a "waterproof acoustic membrane". In OP I should have called the Mirage underlayment: ULTI-Mat (not Uni-mat). It's 2 mm thick and is made of polyolefin. The Floor Muffler is 2 mm thick & made of polyolefin blend foam The Quiet Walk is about 3 mm thick & made of recycled synthetic fibers. Please, anyone? |
Anyone? I thought this would be an easy question figuring plenty of folks out there have installed floating floors : / Or is it just as flippin' complicated as I'm finding it?? I'm trying to compare: Ulti-Mat, Floor Muffler, Quiet Walk, and Sound Solutions. |
- Posted by wi-sailorgirl (My Page) on Fri, Nov 19, 10 at 7:14
We'll be installing a floating floor this weekend and were told that the best way to get a "solid" sounding floor was cork underlayment. So we're going with quarter-inch cork. I talked the place where I bought the floors at for a recommendation. |
I used quiet walk (bought it Lowe's for a good price) on a recommendation from the installer, and it looks very thick. I thought this would be a good thing. I went with Ikea's $1.29/ft2 laminate, and it was a bad combination. The laminate is rather thin, and with the thick, squishy Quiet Walk, the boards have cupped. It also feels a bit weird to walk on a wood floor and feel the floor underneath sink. I recently talked to the owner of a local flooring company, and they recommended a much thinner more dense underlayment. I think it was floor muffler. He had a piece of each (FM, and something that looked like QW), and put a board on top of each and had me knock on each one to hear the difference. It's a good test, and perhaps you can find a place that can let you do that. |
cgpsp: Thank you SO MUCH for taking time to write! I was beginning to lose hope. What you say is exACtly what my problem is about. Although we bought a top quality, expensive, engineered wood floor that we'll install "floating", the manufacturer (Mirage) recommends either THEIR matting (Ulti-Mat) or an equivalent, something I've deducted seems more like Floor Muffler than the Quiet Walk. As you say, the Floor Muffler is thinner and like a dense foam, the Quiet Walk is like a fiber and thicker. My problem is it seems to defy logic that the thicker wouldn't be a better idea cuz it's, well, thicker. Your experience and explanation helps me alot because I surely don't want a floor that's squishy or even thicker than the flooring itself! I just have to get my brain around a foamlike/denser/flatter membrane (like the Mirage brand or the Floor Muffler) is actually a better option because it's, well, thinner. I was considering the Quiet Walk because the local flooring store I deal with stocks it. They don't stock/sell the Mirage flooring though (which is the only thing I wanted due to color choice) so I'm basically worried the owner isn't really experienced with Mirage and the underlayment recommended. Thus, my dilemma. I don't want to just buy something that someone stocks, I want to buy something that's going to be the very best application with the results (not clicky sounding or squishy feeling) I so desire. Again, thank you VERY MUCH for helping me. I welcome any and all additional advice! Please let me know as we need to order this coming week. |
Amazon.com sells underlayment products. You can do some research by reading the reviews of the products. It may give you some additional information to consider. |
I used the Floor Muffler Ultra for my BR-111 5" wide floating floors. I almost went with the Mirage Lock since I loved the sturdy finish on top and how it locked without glue and I loved the 4.25" wide boards the best. I chose BR-111 since I had my heart set on Brazilian Cherry Floors for about a year and I thought it looked best with my cherry desk in my home office. Everyone that visits me seems to think I have a solid wood floor since the floor muffler makes it feel that way. Most likely the Mirage product is very similar to the Floor Muffler and I would go with the product that is more cost effective and easier to buy out of these two underlayments. Just my humble opinion.... |
lynn, thanks for writing! Did you install over a concrete floor or wood subfloor as I am? I'm wondering if there's a difference in opinions when considering the different subfloors? Do you know? Right now we're leaning towards the Floor Muffler or Mirage Ulti-Mat, esPECially after reading CGPSP'S experience above!!!!!!! My biggest worry is if a thin, denser membrane will cover any imperfections in a particle wood subfloor? I do know that we will try and get it as flat, flat, flat as possible but if we can't entirely will it be noticable? |
- Posted by oldhousegal (My Page) on Tue, Nov 23, 10 at 12:28
It sounds like you are interested in perhaps an eco-friendly option? I used eco-friendly Whisper Wool underlayment for my Marmoleum click panels. It did make the floor very quiet, although Marmoleum is on a cork base, so I'm sure that is also quiet. But, it warmed the floor considerably- I have a full basement under the kitchen, so it gets really cold, and there is a considerable difference with the whisper wool. It was a more expensive option, but I'm against any 'plastic' building materials in my home. It was super easy to use as well. My old floor does squeak in spots, but this muffles that sound quite a bit. Is there any way you could get samples and lay a few planks of your floor on top and just try them out? |
oldhousegal: Thanks for the tip. I will check that out. I'm mainly trying to abide by the Mirage flooring warranty issues that requires certain criteria. Floor Muffler seems to be getting good reviews. I'm thinking of the kind w/Ultra Seal. Anyone ever order through Shock Flooring.com? The price is considerably less through that online company but I'm wondering if it's the kind of thing like "if it sounds too good to be true...it probably is"! |
tyiy, my floor was a concrete floor since my home is on a slab with no basement. Make sure the installer knows what the Ultra Seal is since my first installer wasn't using it and part of the boards were installed improperly. My 2nd installer was great and read instructions. I wish I did the floor myself and just had a friend cut the boards. |
Thanks lynn! We're doing the entire job alone so any/all help is appreciated! We have stupid particle board subflooring on the area (raised by 2 ft.) we're installing, which will definitely need re-screwing so there's no more squeaking, etc. Some underlayments claim they help with "imperfections" in subfloors soooooo...that's what I'm hoping for. We will try our hardest to address any issues with that dang particle board, but honestly, I believe it will never be perfect...Also why I want to make the right decision on this. I'd still welcome input. We're down to Quiet Walk and Floor Muffler w/Ultra Seal. We don't have any lower level so sound that direction is not an issue. I'm MAINLY concerned with clicky sound when stepped on and a solid feel since it won't be nailed down. Basically, even though it's "floating" I want it to seem like solid, hard wood flooring. Is that asking too much or is Mirage really the "cadilac" like they claim? (Can you tell my DH chose the floating style, due to the DIY in him?) Anybody with advice I'd truly appreciate it. THANKS! (Anybody order online from Shock Flooring?) |

I would like to know what you ended up choosing......I have cement floors and will be installing engineered wood and soon as I pick something out! |
- Posted by UniqueWoodFloor (My Page) on Fri, Oct 26, 12 at 1:26
We have been having good experience with Floor Muffler w/Ultra Seal in the past years. |
Hi, glad I ran across this... We ended up using Healthier Choice Sound Solution, really because we had a flooring installer friend come over to give us any last minute tips and he said that's what his company uses. We purchased it from Menards for about $44 a 100 sq ft roll. Pretty sure we taped the seams. Flooring has been installed for over a year and all is great! |
Just a quick adder here, I'm thinking more about this and the flooring DOES have a louder sound when walked on with hardsoled shoes (vs. a solid wood sound like with an old oak floor from back in the day-my only reference). I forgot this when responding above because I don't usually wear hard soled shoes! MAYbe another person will be able to say if this is normal or a wrong choice! Sorry to recomplicate it |

This album is amazing!! I had difficulty choosing which tracks I would reccommend because they are all so good. Every song has a different beat and rhythm, there is a song for almost any mood you are in. This is Austin Plaine's first album, he is the next best hit so watch out! It will not be long before this man is on the top charts of folk-rock music. This album is brilliant from start to finish. Austin Plain has honest and genuine lyrics with such a unique sound that makes you feel good. Perfect album for long drives and brightening your day.
This is Winchester Revival's first EP. It was not really my style, which means I am no expert. But it felt a little incongruent at times: the vocals didn't really mesh with the instrumentals backing it up. They sound talented enough, like they know what they're doing, but nothing really stood out. It felt like they were trying to reach that post-punk feel like that of the Foals but they never get there (granted there were only 4 songs to go off of).
With this new album following the release of their first, Lock and Key, this three man band from Saratoga Springs, New York, draw influence from Led Zeppelin and Mountain. I would say that this new album sounds like 70's rock and roll with a pop twist.This album consists of raw vocals from the lead singer Travis Gray, which gives off a true and authentic sound—unedited and true to the soulful and distinct characteristics of rock and soul.
Bigtree Bonsai (get it, guys?), an alternative rock band with heavy folk influences, has a genuine rawness to them that has always appealed to me. They rely on great harmonies, given at the most powerful moments, great accoustic guitar, drums, throwing in some piano, organ, and a good old subtle horn section occasionally. This album just works. Their harmonies remind me of Dr. Dog and their folkiness sounds like the Avett Brothers, and sometimes going folk-rocky enough to remind me of Mumford and Sons (Rollin Down the Road).
Didn't enjoy this one. The instrumental is pretty cool, like a soundtrack to exploring a post-apocalyptic world. The vocals drive me crazy in the worst possible way. Lead singer has annoying voice, and I don't understand the lyrics. The lyrics and instrumental are quite incoherent, whether that's a conscious choice is beyond me. Would not play.
With a beautifully familiar sound, The Tripping Souls' self-titled album really rocks. Singer-songwriter Paul Makris' influences are taken from British Rock such as The Beatles, Oasis, and Paul Weller. Song-writer Paul Makris on vocals, keyboards, and guitar , Wayne Wittaker on bass, and Ben Marino and Steve Chaggaris on double duty drums all began recording with Brian Charles at Zippah Studios this past summer 2012.
Scoti*Slate are two dudes marching to the beat of their own drum, and I can respect that. All in all though, I think Good Fight lacks a certain edgy-ness that I find necessary to quench my musical thirst. These guys certainly got the tone down, but lyrically they didn't slap me in the face and I needed to be beaten around a little bit to truly enjoy an album. The whole album is FCC clean, which is good, but again adds to that innocense I can't handle.
I'm sure a fish wearing a top hat caught your attention as it did mine. But really, there's nothing fishy about Our Friend and The Spiders' first full-length album: a pretty rockin' collection of alternative and indie rock. A band hailing from Montreal, they stick to the simple lead electric guitar, solid bass, drums, and vocals.
The opening track to Mother Mother's album "The Sticks" does not exemplify what the whole entire album is all about. However, it effectively builds up into a "calm before the storm" feeling, and the eeriness of the album that is seen throughout the entire album. While the album itself is phenomenal, most of the songs unfortunately contain foul language. The album contains a very good balance of garage-band grunge tunes, as well as some lighter tracks like "Waiting for the World to Change". Most of the songs contain a steady rock beat, with many melodic subtleties.
The Sound of the Life of the Mind is Ben Folds Five's return following a 13 year hiatus, as Ben Folds pursued his solo career. This album returns to the classic sound of Ben Folds Five: upbeat sounds mixed with comical lyrics from Ben Folds. Having been a Ben Folds Five fan for awhile, I was greatly anticipating this album. However, it was a bit of a let down, as the album felt slightly stale, as nothing new was added to the usual formula.
