The Strip
TAO Beach
The Venetian
Las Vegas, NV, 89109, United States
A relaxing luxury pool at the Venetian turns into a hip nightclub as the sun goes down on the Vegas Strip. Columns light with fire as the DJ's beat pulses around the glowing pool area. The swaying 40-foot-tall bamboo trees and temple-topped tents create the feel of an Asian beach getaway, and if patrons would like to separate themselves from the rest of the partiers, private cabanas with flat screen TVs, DVD players, Xbox 360s and stocked mini fridges are available for rental with bottle service purchases.
Insider Tip:
Having trouble finding TAO Beach? After being stamped, head to the elevators, go up to the 4th floor and just follow the signs.

An A-line skirt made of a hemp and organic cotton blend which drapes like linen; 18" from waist to hem.
Hemp is an alternative natural fiber that's cultivated with low impact on the environment. It requires no irrigation, uses no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, and is harvested and processed by hand. It's one of the most durable natural fibers on the planet, and results in a fabric with a wonderful drape, comparable to linen.
Unfortunately, industrial hemp is illegal to grow in most parts of the world because government agencies continue to associate it with marijuana. We currently import our high-quality hemp from China, and continue to hope that it might someday grow freely again.
Patagonia makes garments with hemp alone or blended with other fibers like recycled polyester, organic cotton and spandex.
We promote fair labor practices, safe working conditions and environmental responsibility throughout the Patagonia supply chain.
Below are the suppliers that impact the Patagonia Women's Summertime Skirt

Love the high pigmentation of this product, color is very nice. However, the pump with the bottle is horrible. Since the high pigmentation just very very little is enough but the pump is out of control. Wasting a lot of product.
I'm new to using MUFE. I saw this blush at Sephora and bought it. I like the color! But can't get the hang of it trying to apply. It comes out so dey looking that I just have souch trouble spreading it. Ibought a new btush similar to the 55N to try blending with that. Is it just the way that blush comes out?
I'm working on a little sample from sephora right now. I've been searching for a long wearing blush for awhile, and I've found it! You only need the tiniest, practically microscopic amount. This is the only blush to last all day on me. The colour is a lovely natural flush. I'll buy this once my sample runs out :)
I just can't get this blush to work on me. Whenever I try to get some of the product out, it comes out too dry and I can't work it at all. Nice colour, but it is a shame that I can't manage it.

I usually use this blush when I go out because it stays on my skin forever. I usually set it with MAC well dressed and it lasts and lasts. The color is a nice true pink. It's a bit expensive but you only need a tiny bit. I've had mine for over a year and there's still quite a bit of product left.
Great product and number 4 is a fantastic colour. No blue undertone.
Only a very litttle amount is enough to make you look "alive".
I mainly use it when I go out, it gives my cheeks a fresh lasting look, I love it.
I've tried a cream blush from Illamasqua but was disappointed. I'll stick to Make Up For Ever without hesitating now.
This is the cream blush that I have been waiting for.
- Great packaging with pump = sanitary
- Wide range of color selection
- A little goes a long way, so you get your money's worth
- Seemingly waterproof (doesn't erase with normal soap and water)
- Price? I feel like $27 for Blush seems excessive, but since you only need a tiny bit each time I think its worth it :)
Very cute, bubblegum pink. VERY pigmented, so a teeny bit goes a long way indeed. Stays true to colour & where you put it.
I REALLY LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I can't rave enough about it! It's a cream blush that's packed in a tiny bottle with a pump. The pump is awesome being sanitary like if you're a makeup artist or just trying the product on your friends. #4 is the perfect muted pink color for me. It's not too warm, not too cool toned either. AMAZING! There are a large selection of colors as well for different skintones and face shapes. The best thing about this is you only need VERY LITTLE to make your face glow. So don't freak out at the packaging (That was my main concern when I first saw this). What I did was, I pumped some product in an old, clean MAC fluidline glass container and I can save product this way since the pump can squirt out too much sometimes. I know this won't dry out the product because MAC fluidlines are of gel/ cream consistency as well. The price was a little too much for me but it will last a looong looong time! :D I am very happy with this purchase! I am in love with MUFE because of this. <3 GO OUT AND GET IT !! <3 T

LOL That is so cute and a creative idea. It looks like someone should do a "idea borrowing" that idea. |
Looks like you had fun putting those scenes together. Squirrels keep digging my hens & chicks out of their pot. How do you keep them from yours? |
I had such fun doing this. I'd come up with a new idea and when I figured out how to contrive it I'd break out in giggles. I still giggle when Ithink of the dozen or so I haven't done yet. My problem isn't squirrels. I have a deer problem. |

BiKa's spring/summer 2012 collection was introduced on Saturday March 31st during an exclusive fashion show by the pool on the rooftop of legendary TENTEN WILSHIRE, in downtown Los Angeles, and BiKa's bold colors and designs managed to brighten our day and shine in spite of the fact that the weather didn't do them justice! During this fun event, offering unusually flavored vegan cupcakes and glitter tattoos, designer AmbiKa Sanjana's eyes sparkled as she talked about her passion for fashion, and the Indian inspiration of her designs.
She wanted this collection, the Rajputani collection, to reflect the style of the Rajasthani woman! This vibrant collection is comprised of about 40 elegant, opulent, glamorous, stylish and stylized pieces, including bikinis, monokinis, but also magnificent cover ups and wraps. The rich corals and greens of the cover-ups combined with the embellishments around the neckline looked lovely in the backlight of the late afternoon sun (which miraculously came out!), and there was a bikini or monokini to please every one of us demanding ladies, from the less daring ones who love a fun color but feel more comfortable in a less eye-catching style, to the fashionistas who must have sparkles to shine at their next pool party! My personal favorite was white monokini with a green leafy pattern and a low ruffled neckline! Absolutely lovely!
This was only the second collection for this brand new resort wear line that launched in April 2011, the first collection having been introduced in July 2011 in Miami and featuring over 20 pieces! But even though it is still so young, BiKa's presence is already quite widespread: if AmbiKa now lives in Los Angeles, BiKa is actually based in Miami, and the luscious fabrics are imported from Italy, but the manufacturer is in Mumbai, India. BiKa is already distributed in upscale boutiques in Miami Beach, Palm Beach, Los Angeles, and Bombay, India! Rumor has it, it has perked European interest as well, but nothing is official yet…

How the Dodgers can escape bankruptcy
This week the Los Angeles Dodgers filed for bankruptcy amid accusations of mismanagement by owner Frank McCourt, who evidently learned nothing from his childhood of poverty and hunger in the slums of Limerick. Wait, different Frank McCourt. The author's deceased; the desperate businessman who borrowed against the team until they went bankrupt is now in a court battle to keep the Dodgers under his control.McCourt, shown here signing an extremely onerous loan.
Giving McCourt a helping hand now would only be extending the Dodgers' suffering. Rockies fans can get behind that. So here are four ways McCourt can save the Dodgers.
Make Manny the mascot: The Dodgers owe Manny Ramirez $21 million. That's a lot, sure, but the Rockies are paying Tulo $157 mil over 10 years and Todd Helton $141 mil over nine, so it's not unheard of. Problem is, Ramirez hasn't exactly been performing up to expectations. Seems his production dropped off quite a bit this year when he retired April 8 after steroid issues popped up (again). But he'll still be collecting from the Dodgers all season.
The solution? Put him to work. If he's retired, get him on the field any way you can -- including as the team's newly minted mascot. The Dodgers don't have one now, so the team can pick the name and persona and start fresh. My suggestions, tailored especially to Manny's smiley, spacey personality, are Slappy the Smile Man, Chuckles the Dreadlock Clown, Goofy (Also Coincidentally a Registered Trademark of the Walt Disney Corp.) and Steroid Steve. Let Manny's fun-loving personality define the team as a mascot the way he used to as a left-fielder. Just don't expect him to show up before the sixth inning.Manny often emitted a soft "bleat" before taking the field.
Actually dodge something for once: The Dodgers brought their name from Brooklyn, where it had something to do with "trolley cars" in the 1890s. Like lorries, rickshaws and steamboats, there is no evidence these ever really existed, which might be why they're so easy to dodge. Brooklyn was supposedly covered in trolley cars, so all Brooklynites were called trolley-dodgers, a nickname Jay-Z has tried unsuccessfully to resurrect.
So they've never actually dodged anything. It's as disappointing as the time I went to a Brewers game hoping to try the latest microbrew beers they'd concocted. Or the massive disappointment that was the Senators-Kings hockey matchup last year, in which all the players appeared to be commoners who held neither elected nor appointed office. Liars, all of them.A rare image of an alleged "trolley car."

Autonomic Nervous System Testing
DESCRIPTIONThe autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates physiologic processes, such as blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, digestion, metabolism, fluid and electrolyte balance, sweating, urination, defecation, sexual response, and other processes. Regulation occurs without conscious control, i.e., autonomously. The ANS has two major divisions: the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Many organs are controlled primarily by either the sympathetic or parasympathetic system, although they may receive input from both; occasionally, functions are reciprocal (e.g., sympathetic input increases heart rate; parasympathetic decreases it).The sympathetic nervous system is catabolic and activates fight-or-flight responses. Thus, sympathetic output increases heart rate and contractility, bronchodilation, hepatic glycogenolysis and glucose release, BMR (basal metabolism rate), and muscular strength; it also causes sweaty palms. Less immediately-life-preserving functions (e.g., digestion, renal filtration) are decreased. The parasympathetic nervous system is anabolic; it conserves and restores. Gastrointestinal secretions and motility (including evacuation) are stimulated, heart rate is slowed, and blood pressure decreases. Disorders of the ANS can affect any system of the body; they can originate in the peripheral or central nervous system and may be primary or secondary to other disorders. Symptoms suggesting autonomic dysfunction include orthostatic hypotension, heat intolerance, nausea, constipation, urinary retention or incontinence, nocturia, impotence, and dry mucous membranes. If a patient has symptoms suggesting autonomic dysfunction, cardiovagal, adrenergic, and sudomotor tests are usually done to help determine severity and distribution of the dysfunction. Cardiovagal innervation testing evaluates heart rate response to deep breathing and to the Valsalva maneuver, via electrocardiogram rhythm strip. If the ANS is intact, heart rate varies with these maneuvers; the ratio of longest to shortest R-R interval (Valsalva ratio) should be 1.4 or greater. The quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test (QSART) evaluates integrity of postganglionic neurons using iontophoresis; electrodes filled with acetylcholine are placed on the legs and wrist to stimulate sweat glands, and the volume of sweat is then measured. The test can detect decreased, absent, or persistent (after stimulus discontinuation) sweat production. The silastic sweat imprint differs from QSART in that the recording is an imprint of the sweat droplets appearing as indentations on silastic material. The thermoregulatory sweat test (TST) evaluates both preganglionic and postganglionic pathways. After a dye is applied to the skin, patients enter a closed compartment that is heated to cause sweating. Sweating causes the dye to change color, so that areas of anhidrosis and hypohidrosis are apparent and can be calculated as a percentage of body surface area. Sympathetic skin response (SSR) provides an index of sweat production by measuring change in skin resistance following random electrical stimulation over the palms and soles. Quantitative direct and indirect axon reflex testing (QDIRT) is defined by Illigens and Gibbons as a novel new technique to evaluate the postganglionic sympathetic cholinergic sudomotor function by measuring the direct and axon-reflex mediated sweat response in a dynamic fashion. Sweat glands are stimulated by acetylcholine iontophoresis and sweat is displayed via an activator dye followed by digital photographs over time. A variety of monitoring and testing equipment can be used for ANS testing; one example is the ANX 3.0™. In 1994, the Ansar Group, Inc. received U.S. Food and drug Administration (FDA) 510(K) clearance for their new autonomic nervous system monitoring technology; in 2004 Ansar introduced the ANX 3.0, which is their latest generation non-invasive, real-time, digital monitor of autonomic nervous system functioning. The ANX 3.0 monitors both branches of the ANS simultaneously. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
POLICYAutonomic nervous system (ANS) testing, including parasympathetic function (cardiovagal innervation), sympathetic adrenergic function (vasomotor adrenergic innervation), and sudomotor function (quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test [QSART], thermoregulatory sweat test [TST], and silastic sweat imprint test), may be considered medically necessary for use as a diagnostic tool to evaluate symptoms of vasomotor instability after more common causes have been excluded by other testing, for any of the following:
Autonomic nervous system (ANS) testing is considered investigational for all other indications that do not meet the above criteria, including but not limited to:
Sympathetic skin response (SSR) testing is considered investigational. Quantitative direct and indirect axon reflex testing (QDIRT) is considered investigational. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
POLICY EXCEPTIONSFederal Employee Program (FEP) may dictate that all FDA-approved devices, drugs or biologics may not be considered investigational and thus these devices may be assessed only on the basis of their medical necessity. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
POLICY GUIDELINESInvestigative service is defined as the use of any treatment procedure, facility, equipment, drug, device, or supply not yet recognized by certifying boards and/or approving or licensing agencies or published peer review criteria as standard, effective medical practice for the treatment of the condition being treated and as such therefore is not considered medically necessary. The coverage guidelines outlined in the Medical Policy Manual should not be used in lieu of the Member's specific benefit plan language. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The hyperlocal layer using Adrian Short's Apollo platform has been running for a few days now and has some content in it that is being updated constantly. I thought I should list the content creators and locations a little more clearly so you know what to expect if you load the layer up in the Layar app.
Over on the right sidebar on the front page, you will see a list of participants which I update periodically. The links in the list go directly to the source site and not necessarily to the content you may see in the layer so here is a more descriptive list, which I'll update as I add more content and links.
Battle of Naseby, we have added some geolocated content of the battle fields around Naseby, so you can see what some of those bumps on the ground are. Sadly the lack of 3g coverage in the area means you probably won't be able to use this on the ground there.
Fix My Street, everyone's favourite website for reporting stuff to your local council. We have taken the rss feed for reports to Camden Borough Council, Birmingham City Council & Stoke-on-Trent City Council and added a geographical feed for the area around Wandsworth.
Flickr, we have added content that is geolocated in London as a feed and added it in to the Layer. We've removed this as there was too much content!
Friends of Lincoln's Inn Fields, blog posts from Lincoln's Inn Fields area of London.
Greener Leith, we have taken the rss feed from Ally Tibberts Greener Leith Audio Boos and included them in the layer.
Hedon Blog, we have added geolocated content from the Hedon blog in to the layer.
HU12 Online, again we have taken the geolocated content from the site in to the layer.
It's Happening In Heeley, this is a site that Talk About Local helped to set up in the Heeley area of Sheffield, taking their traditional newsletter and putting it on-line.
Kings Cross Environment, content from around the Kings Cross area of London.
n0tice, we have taken the feed from n0tice and included that in the layer so that will update as new content is added. Top Tip! If there is no content in the layer near to you, then you could sign up for a n0tice account and add your own content that will appear in the layer within about an hour.
Pits n Pots, geolocated content around Stoke-on-Trent.
The Edinburgh Reporter, geolocated content in and around Edinburgh.
Visit Turriff, local news and information from a small market town in the north east of Scotland.
Wake Green Park, geolocated blog posts from the Wake Green Park estate in Birmingham.
Rate My Place, see this post Rate My Place added to our AR layer for more detail.
You can load the layer in the to the Layar app by searching for HypARlocal Apollo, you can get the Layar app by searching the app store or market place for your device.
If you run a hyperlocal site and would like your content adding to the layer so you can test it and play with it please do get in touch with us either in the comments below or by E-mail to hello at talkaboutlocal.org.
If you know of any really cool geolocated content that we could add to the layer, please let us know about it.

It's a question we've all asked and if it isn't hard enough it seems that our desires for our life and God's are diametrically opposed, continually at odds.
What if finding God's will was easier than you thought, and what if living it brought you more joy than you ever imagined?
Highly acclaimed author and speaker, Johnnie Moore, helps you find the simple answer to one of life's most persistent and difficult questions,
Herein is the great secret of the will of God: The will of God is more about who you are than where you are or what you do. You don't find it, you become it.
So it's time to stop making excuses, and to start turning the particular dials of history that are yours to turn.
God has given you a dream that could change the world.

In day 3 of the No-Limit Hold'em / Six Handed Event 14 players have remained. Lindgren was 7th in chips but he soon doubled up through the day 2 chip leader Jonathan Little and was on top of the lead at the final table of 6.
Ryan D'Angelo and Vasile Buboi were the first ones to exit in 6th and 5th place accordingly. Both were eliminated from Connor Drinan who then finished 4th. Lingren eliminated Jonathan Little and went to heads-up battle with Markholt with a 4 to 1 lead.
On the final hand of the event Lindgren had A-A and Markholt J-9. Lindgren limped from button and Markhold checked. Flop came with 9-J-A for an interesting battle after a set of aces for Lindgren and two pairs of Jacks and Aces for Markhold. Markhold made a bet of 110,000 and was raised to 275,000. After the raise Markhold went all-in and when the two players opened the cards he was knew he was behind and when he show the last two cards, 7 and 5 it was over. He was left second with a $374,960 prize.

so i just got back from costa rica yesterday. it was a long flight but i slept during most of it. it was funny. when i got to fort lauderdale (it wasn't a direct flight) i kept feeling the need to say gracias. it was almost like i forgot how to speak english. not really. i spoke english in costa rica just because there were so many people who spoke english at my school. not that thats a good excuse or anything.
so my luggage didn't make it to the airport with me. they sent it to me today tho.
so im at my parent's house doing laundry. i didnt have too much to do thankfully.
yesterday i got a haircut. it felt good. ecspecially since i hadnt had a shower yesterday since i was on an airplane all morning.
its funny. i was afraid i was going to forget how to drive when i came back. not really, but still.
so it seems like i will be switching to at&t. my mom says that it'll be cheaper. mostly bc my brother's girlfriend has at&t so they'll get to talk for free. im sad tho. all my friends have verizon. its a good thing i dont talk on the phone that much.
for some reason the internet isn't working at my apartment right now. comcast costumer service sucks too. everytime i try and talk to them it tells me that there is an abnormally long waiting time.
i can't wait to go swimming. i only went to the beach once in costa rica. it was really nice but there were a lot of rocks there so not much room to swim. i also got my flip flops stolen. at least i think they were stolen. i dont really know what happened to them.
sound fun except for the missing shoes....lol...i love flyin...
Theres always something to laugh about in life...

Sapphire Program to Host Leadership Symposium
Students involved in the Smeal Sapphire Leadership Program will bring together prominent industry professionals on Friday, November 2 to discuss effective leadership and ethics during the Sapphire Leadership Symposium. The event is open to all undergraduate students at Penn State.
Anthony Buzzelli '71, former vice chairman and regional managing partner for the Pacific Southwest region of Deloitte, will lead a case study on ethics during the event. Keynote addresses will be given by Lou Grabowsky, Chief Operating Officer at Grant Thorton, LLP and Tim Keenan, founder and CEO of High Performance Technologies Inc. (HPTi).
Also included in the list of speakers are Smeal faculty members Robert Novack, Associate Professor of Supply Chain and Information Systems, and Kenneth Pasch, Instructor in Accounting and Management, who will present workshops on the balance between leading and following and applying personal skills and attributes to leadership style.
"The Sapphire Leadership Symposium is an opportunity for students from all domains of study to collaborate and expand their working knowledge of leadership," said Alexander Drost, president of the Sapphire Executive Board and a senior majoring in Finance and Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Management.
The all-day event will be held at the Nittany Lion Inn on Penn State's University Park campus. Registration for the event is $10 and will begin at 8:45 a.m. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

I remember from a few years ago there was this guy and he was like a god here for his soil recipes. I checked the FAQ on the soil forum and did a search but can't find what I'm looking for. Anybody know the threads I'm talking about?
If not, I need a recipe for self watering planter boxes. I need either your normal self watering planter recipe, or one for drought tolerant/alpine/succulent plants. As for my other question: I have self watering planters but I have succulent type plants. Do I use just a regular all purpose self watering soil mixture, or do I need one fine tuned for succulent type plants? |

What kind of computer should I buy?
All institutional computer purchases are standardized on Dell, with Macs as an option for faculty and a select number of other areas where there is a demonstrated need and prior approval from the division principal administrator. However, it is important that department heads and budget managers understand the following parameters in order to make an informed decision about which platform/model to choose.
The current PSU computer life-cycle replacement is 4 years regardless of platform.
- The Dell computers include a 4-year basic warranty. An additional 4-year complete care warranty to cover accidental damage and a 3-year battery replacement warranty is also included on Dell laptops.
- Macintosh offers only a basic 4-year warranty and no accidental damage or extended battery warranty is available. Departments with faculty/staff members who choose a Mac must be willing to bear the cost of repair due to accidental damage, worn batteries, etc.
For additional information please email us firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at (603) 535-2929.
Should I buy a desktop or laptop computer?
Either a desktop or laptop computer is acceptable, but you should base your decision on the model that best suits your needs. Desktop models are typically less expensive, more expandable, and often more comfortable to use than laptops. On the other hand, they are designed for stationary locations, so they take up more space than a laptop.
Laptops have major advantages. They are mobile, compact, and ideal for taking advantage of the wireless internet throughout campus. Laptops, however, are vulnerable to theft and damage, more expensive to buy and repair, and have a smaller screen and keyboard than a desktop model.
If you would like to bring your computer with you into the classroom or to meetings, you might consider buying a laptop. If you prefer to work primarily in your office, you might consider purchasing a desktop model. Still have questions? We are always glad to help. Drop us an email us firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at (603) 535-2929.
Computer shopping is confusing. How do I know what to buy?
Each year, ITS establishes technology standards governing the selection and purchase of equipment for both academic and administrative departments. The current technology standards can be found on our Buying Guidelines page. For additional information please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at (603) 535-2929.
What kind of printer should I buy?
Although an HP color ink jet printer is a good choice because of the low up-front investment and versatility, the cost of ink can be costly and difficult to keep track of — models often change and most models require a special ink cartridge. Networked laser printers are built to handle an increased workload and can be shared by members of a workgroup, office or even and entire department. For additional information please email us email@example.com or call us at (603) 535-2929.
Does PSU offer discounts on computer and software for employee personal purchases?
PSU does not sell computers or software for personal use; however employees are encourged to take advange of our PSU contracts with both Dell and Apple computer and with e-Academy (our exclusive software vendor) who all offer an educational discounts to PSU students, faculty and staff. To learn more, visit www.plymouth.edu/infotech/computer
What about Software?
PSU has a site license for the full Microsoft Office suite which is included in the standard image installed on every institutionally owned computer.
In addition, there are many other software applications that the institution either owns a site license for or has the application available for use via the network. Therefore, all institutional software purchases (regardless of cost) must be pre-approved by Information Technology prior to purchase and/or download.
Departmental Purchasing Cards (p-cards) may not be used to purchase any software without prior approval by ITS and the departmental P-card administrator. For auditing purposes, the p-card user will be responsible for attaching ITS software approval documentation to their purchasing records. ITS Desktop Support technicians may also require access to this documentation before they install the software in order to insure that the software in being installed in accordance with the license. For additional information please email us firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at (603) 535-2929.
How do I purchase printer toner, ink and other technology supplies and accessories?
Departmental Purchasing Cards (p-cards) may be used to purchase computer peripheral devices and accessories priced at $250 (each) or less, such as USB thumb-drives, laptop cases, PowerPoint clickers, blank CDs and DVDs, and printer toner/ink cartridges. The current office supply vendor has many of these items at discounted rate. Not sure what to buy or where to buy it from? We are always glad to help. Drop us an email us email@example.com or call us at (603) 535-2929.
How do I place an order?
To start the order process for employee computer purchases — desktops, laptops, servers, networked printers, scanners and LCD projectors – please email your request information to email@example.com or call (603) 535-2929.
How does the Ordering Process Work?
The following process will be followed for all acquisitions for new technology, upgrades to existing technology or requests for software purchase.
1. The department requestor sends an email outlining the details of his/her equipment request to email@example.com or calls x52929.
2. The tech-orders request will be reviewed by IT and a written response will be sent to the requestor within 5 business days. If IT does not need additional information or more time to evaluate the request, the response will summarize IT's recommendation for completing the request and include a price quote. If IT needs additional information or time to review the request, the response will summarize items for further clarification and/or will provide a date for completing the review of the tech-orders request.
3. Once the details have been worked out between the requestor and IT; a request for funding confirmation will be sent to the department budget manager with a cc to the requestor.
4. Upon final confirmation and budget manager approval, IT will process the order and have the equipment delivered to the Desktop Support Team who will contact the requestor to arrange a time for delivery and installation of the equipment.
5. Once the equipment has been delivered and set-up, the department's FOAPAL will be charged via the Banner Finance system.
Still have questions? We are always glad to help. Drop us an email us firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at (603) 535-2929.
How do I pay?
All institutional computer/technology equipment purchases will
be charged against the FOAPAL provided by the Department Budget Manager. An invoice showing this charge and any related expenses will be sent to the Department Budget Manager. For auditing purposes, we are not able to take payment by cash, check or credit card. For additional information please email us email@example.com or call us at (603) 535-2929.

Wickes Decorators Caulk White is a fine flexible crack fliier that is easy to tool and overpaintable.
Wickes Decorators Caulk White is a fine flexible crack fliier that is easy to tool and overpaintable.
"Great price but an even better product, very easy to use & a pleasure to work with, I always buy this to prepare for many jobs in hand & it's always a delight to use, I always keep some in stock, 10 out of 10 from me, a genuine well made product."
"I've been doing DIY for years and came across this product in a reference book. Previously have used all the big brand name fillers and they've nearly always needed a bit of sanding. This stuff is flexible and works in some of the most awkward filling jobs. My house is c1880's and I've used it extensively throughout to seal and smooth cracks and gaps. I would really recommend it to anyone. Small downside is that the instructions on the packaging don't tell you that it is suitable for exteriors too. And that it can be sanded. It also says don't run your finger along it to smooth it - which I find works brilliantly in awkward joins (especially if you wet your finger). You really can get some amazing results and a top finish. Love it."

The New York Times had a sweet story yesterday about Mike Kelleher, the White House mailman (official title: Director of the White House Office of Correspondence), and his daily task of choosing ten letters—out of the tens of thousands that reach the White House every day—for the president to read. It's one of those stories, rife with examples, that might make a reader reach for the tissue box, or e-mail it to her mom. It also confirms once again the extreme media savviness of the current White House.
Here's a snippet that describes Kelleher's day:
He chooses 10 letters, which are slipped into a purple folder and put in the daily briefing book that is delivered to President Obama at the White House residence. Designed to offer a sampling of what Americans are thinking, the letters are read by the president, and he sometimes answers them by hand, in black ink on azure paper.
Black ink on azure paper… did anyone just shiver a bit with the illicit thrill of knowing what paper the president uses to correspond with the American public? He signs the notes "Barack Obama"—we are told, "with a big looping B and O." But I don't have to tell you that, and, really, neither does reporter Ashley Parker, who wrote the story. There are photos of Kelleher sorting through the mail, of Bo the dog's own mail slot, and of one of Obama's handwritten responses—with the "B" and the "O" and the azure paper and all.
This is great material, both for those craving details of the president's day-to-day, and for the president himself, who can only benefit—however superficially—from a paragraph like this:
The White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, said Mr. Obama "believes it's easy in Washington to forget there are real people with real challenges being affected by the debate." Mr. Emanuel added that he had seen the president turn to policy advisers in meetings and say, "No, no, no. I want to read you a letter that I got. I want you to understand."
Or this one, where we hear that Obama wrote a woman whose son, a private in the army, had called her about funeral arrangements in the event of his death:
I will do everything in my power to make troops like Matthew my priority… Please tell him 'thank you for your service' from his commander in chief!These sorts of anecdotes are both personally charming and politically useful—and that's intentional. Obama has multiple hard sells to make to the American public, and he benefits from human portrayals like this one because they bring him emotionally closer to street-level problems. A handwritten note may have little to do directly with stoking public support for his policies, but there's a sentimental linkage nonetheless. Here's what the Los Angeles Times had to say about the politically powerful double-duty these stories serve:
…these glimpses into the Obama household are far from spontaneous. Instead, they are part of a careful strategy that has helped bolster the new president's popularity and political clout — even as he promotes some economic policies, such as bailouts for banks and automakers, that lack broad appeal.
The story about the White House mailman isn't actually a profile of Mike Kelleher, though it's billed as one (the accompanying photo slideshow, which shows Kelleher walking through his day, is called "The President's Mailman"). Kelleher, in my opinion, gets short shrift as the story's lead character. It's really a story about how Obama is keeping in touch with the public's mood, a story that shows us Obama's humanity. (Obama senior adviser David Axelrod quotes the president as saying, upon reading one from a struggling family, "These letters just tear you up.")
This is fine. Obama is an empathetic person, and the Times story highlights that. But take the circumstances of this other interview with another White House extra: social secretary Desiree Rogers. From the LAT:
The White House last month welcomed a correspondent from "Extra," a celebrity TV show, for a sit-down interview with social secretary Desiree Rogers, a close Obama friend. One portion was headlined, "Obama Family: A to Z!"Rogers assured viewers that the Obamas are "real people." She said that the first lady "maybe likes food a little bit more" and the president "would be satisfied just to have a salad and a boiled egg."

A letter penned by Elvis Presley has been put up for sale
A letter penned by Elvis Presley has been put up for sale, and reveals how lonely the singer felt in the aftermath of his mother's death.
The King, then aged 23, was doing his army national service in Germany when he penned the rare note home to friends in 1958 - saying 'I miss and love you all very much'.
It has been in the hands of a private Elvis collector from Hertfordshire for many years and he has now decided to sell it.
Experts said hand-written letters by Elvis are exceptionally rare and have described the content in this one as superb as it is very personal.
The auction takes place in Marbella, Spain, tomorrow. It is being sold by International Autograph Auctions.

Close approximation (2 miles) to Beech Mountain Ski Area and great local spots including Fred's General Mercantile. A short 10 minute drive to Sugar Mountain Ski Area so there are multiple options for skiing. 4-5 restaurant options are also on Beech Mountain. The town of Banner Elk is just down the mountain with several shopping and restaurant options.
Comfortable, relaxed cabin-atmosphere to make you feel at home on your vacation.
Owners grew up nearby the North Carolina mountain area. After moving to Atlanta, we have maintained this house in the NC mountains as a vacation get-away. We use this property personally, so we're always interested in keeping it nice or knowing of any suggested updates from renters. We have owned and rented out this property for about 10 years.
Michael Hanley purchased this house in 2004
We prize this house and location due to the close proximity to the ski area, the great summer and winter weather (since Beech Mountain is the highest elevation town east of the Rockies, it often has snow when other local areas don't). The house comfortable can hold large families, which there often aren't many options for on the mountain. The house has a great home feel and the fireplace in the living room is great for spending time with friends and family after a great day of skiing or looking around the mountain area.
We have made renovations to the kitchen and bedrooms and would love to hear any suggestions that you might have!
1-2 miles from Beech Mountain Ski Area, 5-10 minutes from Sugar Mountain. Shopping and outlets in Boone. 1 mile from Fred's General Store.

BMW may be planning AMG Black Series competitors
Word has it BMW has its heart set on giving the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series a run for its money in the US. According to BimmerBoost.com, the German automaker has been making more and more noise about offering a number of specialty models aimed specifically at enthusiasts. While at the Detroit Auto Show this year, the BMW PR machine revealed 2013 will be "an interesting year" and that buyers can expect one or two products aimed specifically at swiping buyers from the clutches of the C63 AMG Black Series. The news came courtesy of Automobile writer Marc Noordeloos' Twitter machine.
Noordeloos reportedly interviewed several executives familiar with the M models while in Detroit, and says the M division would like to offer hardware like the M3 CSL, GTS or CRT to buyers here in the States. That sounds great to us, but saying something doesn't make it true, and manufacturers rarely find it in their hearts to bring money-losing machines to our green shores. Still, that won't stop us from crossing our fingers.

For my cleanup sink area, I'd like to continue the tile I am using along the main cabinet run/ cooktop area. I'd appreciate suggestions on how to do this.
Here's the area. I'm including the breakfast table and window on the right. There's a lot going on here. (One day, I will clean up that fridge....). You can see the tile in the left of this picture. Looking straight on -- boy do I ever keep track of the neighbors' comings and goings :) I plan on tiling the window bumpout shelf, and the 3 inches or so between the countertop and the shelf, in a plain tile of some sort. Do I take the tile up halfway, like this? One side? Both sides? What should I do in the upper area? Repaint the window trim work a darker color and then use a white tile up top? And maybe this should be a different thread in itself, but what on earth do I do with the skylight dormer? It's been painted blue but I couldn't STAND the color. |
Follow-Up Postings:
That is a tough one. I am a big fan of symmetry so I would want the same thing on both sides of the window. I would be tempted to tile the entire window wall (including behind the fridge and above the window) |
What about tiling the window wall with a solid color from the same line; the light background color? I think the small chopped up space around the window is too small to handle the great pattern. |
I agree that if you do tile, don't go busy. I can see you are daring when it comes to design choices based on your faucet, lighting fixture, and tile. Let these elements do the speaking in your kitchen and let the exterior wall bask in all its glory of a big window with beautiful casing. The most tiling I'd consider is bringing the same tile out on the exterior wall 12 inches or so to where the upper cabinet ends depth wise. But the little strip to the left of the coffee outlet that runs all the way up and the rest of the wall - just let it be naked and paint it a neutral color that would go with your back splash and counters. Also trim out the bottom of the window with a water resistant material if you are messy dish doer like me. |
I know that this isn't answering the question you asked, but have you considered adding a cabinet above the fridge and running a panel nect to the fridge, separating it from the counter space on the sink wall? Not only woulkd it give you additional storage, it would give you a neat place to stop the backsplash. It will require a bit of tricky finish carpentry work when blending the mouldings (window moulding might have to be cut back and will have to "turn" to meet the panel and cabinet -- or the whole window moulding simplified), but I think it would be a good solution for you. |
I would leave that beautiful window to speak for itself...It's THE showstopper on that wall as well as that wonderful view of all that green out that window! You are so lucky! |
Personally I would bring it to the corner where the mixer/coffeemaker are and then stop. I think the great tile design would be better kept on that wall and would be chopped up on the window wall. As Annsch said, I'd leave that window to be the star of that wall! |

Color match the dark color in the tile and just paint the wall space if you can't locate a tile in that color. You can always put a coat of poly over it for additional durability behind the sink. Going dark with no pattern there will let all of the white window and trim stand out and be the star of that wall. |

I'm less conservative, and would personally tile all the way across the sink counter over to the doorway, going to the floor, using the height you mocked up to the left of the window. I love the look of a tiled 'wainscot' and did this myself, but! I do have plain yellow tile, so your mileage may vary. But I think it's grand to have full tile like that, and succeeds in unifying a room like nothing else. This is an ancient pic of my kitchen, forgive me oldtimers for the repetition, conveying the idea. Does your tile line have a plain-colored picture rail tile? That would be ideal to top it off. |
I would be tempted to do what momtofour suggests and stop the tile at the corner. The window wall is great as is and I'm afraid tile of any sort will detract from the great window and view. Go for extra-protection paint/poly behind the sink and call it done. Skylight dormer: isn't it the same color as the ceiling? That makes sense to me. Laughing at your 'fridge! When we cleaned ours off (it was much more cluttered than yours), we discovered coupons that expired 5 years ago. We also had a soccer photo of a then-8 year old nephew who recently graduated from high school, and a middle school photo of a niece who's now 20-something and expecting her first child next month. Refrigerators - the historical depositories of the 21st century! |
- Posted by circuspeanut (My Page) on Thu, Aug 2, 12 at 12:14
Also, just as a wild idea, if you don't do tile all the way over, what about doing a row of it along the bottom of the skylight shaft? a la: I might even go for tiling the whole inner skylight shaft, in a Swedish winter kitchen kind of way. |
ooooooooh. Kinda like that idea of tiling inside of skylight shaft. But, again, leave the window wall to it's own beautiful devices. I also like the idea of painting that window wall a color to compliment the tile color and make that window and gorgeous trim to pop out even more. Just a thought. :) |
Curious, how much room do you have between the dishwasher and the cabinet to the left of it? Thanks |
oldbat2be, How do you like the stainless steel countertop next to the range? I can't help but noticing it. Thanks, Ying |
I like your last option best. |
I would not turn the corner with the patterned tile but if you really want to I think it should not be brought up that high next to the window. I think it would look better at the same height as the tile under the upper cabinets. I do like the option with a darker color on the window wall. |
No I take my tile idea back:) I think what hollysprings suggested is probably the best. Just paint. If you go light or dark with the paint it would look good. I think the one wall of your tile would be enough. I don't like the skylight tiled. The photoshop of the tile all the way to the fridge isn't bad though. Its pretty powerful and may be too much. I'd skip the wainscot idea in this case, too fussy. |
Re: ending tile in a corner. This is sort of an extreme example of a side splash but what the point of the linked picture is that you can curve down the tile to under the light switch. I have seen it done with other back splash material such as tile or stone and it looks pretty neat. I do love the creativity of this back splash! Link below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Curve the end of sidesplash

djshane09 Posts: 1Go drive your mama to the market in your automatic evo x, wake up!
Dude the STI secret price fully loaded with BBS wheels & Upgradable navigations system is about 35,000. Moreover, for the 2009 EVO MR , mitsubishi is not willing to lean back much on the price 48,000 crazy price for a fully loaded Mr.
The secret price on the MR fully loaded will eat 44,000 out of your pocket for automatic dip s**t . I will pick up a EVO 8 MR over the X MR anytime.
Don't even put the 2009 StI 330HP 320lb of T next to the MR. EVO AUTOMATIC.
Yes i test drove the both cars and the evo suspention is sick but a true driver drives manual not auto. i have a 2006 350z manual 500hp 480lb of Tor and i will never trade in for automatic z even with a twin clutch. Anybody considering a evo mr x, is surely new to the game just get a gsr and make it into a monster... or do yourself a favor and buy a 2009 sti coupe spec c -
merrycynic Posts: 340
aaykay Posts: 539The 265HP engine is what the 2008 WRX should have come out of the gate with, at a MINIMUM, especially with 278HP Toyota Camries and Honda Accords running rampant. Some of the humiliations the 2008 WRX suffered, in comparison tests with the MS3 etc., would have been mitigated, if it came with this engine, along with a firmly sporty suspension. They can soften up the regular Impreza and the Impreza Sport all they want, but should have made the WRX a truly focused sporty product.
Anyway, better late than never ! The only question is, why does it take Subaru more than one try, to get it right ? Once you lose the original model launch momentum, it is well nigh impossible to get it back.
Interesting news about renaming the Auto WRX as the "Impreza GT" ! Unfortunately, without a 5-speed Auto with paddle shifters, this will fail again, like the prior 4EAT WRX Auto models, unless they spring a surprise and put the 5EAT from the Legacy-based models, into this GT model.
Hopefully they will up the ante with the STI too, to maybe a 330 or 350HP/Torque engine, some better seats than the current "flats", and more tuned suspension like the EVO, to put some distance between the upgrades being put into the WRX. -
paisan Posts: 21,181Anyway, better late than never ! The only question is, why does it take Subaru more than one try, to get it right ?
New to Subaru are yah?
1998 2.5RS = 2.5L DOHC, small fogs, whacky interior, different brakes
1999 2.5RS = 2.5L SOHC, large fogs, white face gauges, different brakes, normal interior
2002 WRX = same brake pads as the 01 RS, bad 2nd/3rd gear trans issue, no moonroof, etc. etc.
2003 WRX = "new" brakes, etc. etc.
Seems to be the trend that Subaru has, with the impreza line.

Bob -
paisan Posts: 21,181Why do these guys continuously drive like complete jackasses? Really makes me want to get out of the whole Subaru scene when I see the lack of skill, lack of respect for machine, and utter crap videos like that shown. Typical ex-honda driver stuff, typical Fast and Furious crappola. Ugh....
Guess that's why I've set my sights on a 2010 GTR for my next street car, it's a tad more refined and like a 911 wouldn't be doing that drifting crap.
-mike -
sbcooke Posts: 2,297Not sure I agree the video is as bad as you say, but I do agree with you that marketing the drifting and donuts isn't great on the side of bad. Marketing the car as a toy.
I hope to use my STi at a track. I have only had it for a couple of weeks, but drifting and donuts is not why I bought the car...and promoting that image is not what I think subaru should be going for. I would think the traditional rally videos and/or track videos are more appealing. -
rsholland Posts: 19,743You're missing the point Mike.
This video was done by SOA as a teaser for the '09 WRX. It was intentionally done this way to closely link the (new found) performance of the '09 WRX with that of the STI. That's why both the STI and WRX are out "playing" together. It's important that Subaru, with the new '09 WRX, distance this car from the '08 WRX, which has gotten luke-warm reviews at best. This kind of video shows that the WRX is once again the fun car it used to be.
As to lack of skill, I disagree here too. They are using SOA's two top rally drivers, Pastrana and Block—and they certainly know how to handle themselves in a race car. In this video they are just out playing around and having fun—and showing that the WRX is once again fun to drive. There's no competition here in which they're showing off (or proving) their level of skill. That was not the intention.
All in all, I think this is a successful video, as it accomplishes what the marketing goals were.
Bob -
merrycynic Posts: 340
merrycynic Posts: 340
paisan Posts: 21,181Yup and this is exactly why it will attract the type of buyer that goes out and does stupid crap like that on the street. Once again, do you see videos like that from BMW, Porsche, etc? Nope.
It's quite an immature driving style and an insult to any of us folks who really DRIVE their cars on the track and race them.
As I said, if we want Subaru to be compared to the NEON SRT4 (similar to that Dodge commercial a few years ago street racing) then so be it. However, I'd rather see our car brand walking with the likes of Porsche, Lotus, BMW, who would not be caught dead with a commerical/video like that sanctioned by the manufacturer.
I guess you are a fan of the STi in the new Fast and Furious movie too, afterall, they are just out having fun. Going out on a track and abusing the vehicle as they were in that video shows them to be toys, not precision driving machines. I guess we will just writeoff the WRX as a toy from here on out
While I agree with them distancing themselves from the 08 WRX, perhaps they could get out there and show the subaru enthusiasts rallying, road racing, autoxing their cars, which happens in 1000s and 1000s of parking lots, race tracks and rally and rally-x events EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND by common Subaru owners.
-mike -
paisan Posts: 21,181I suppose, but you know how passionate I am about true motorsports and how hard we've worked to actually have subies accepted in real racing and tracks, and videos like that just make my blood boil!
I keep thinking back to around 2000 when we started to track our GC Imprezas and they laughed at us saying "what are you doing on the track, those are subarus" Now you can't go to a track day and not see at least 10 subies there!
-mike -
aaykay Posts: 539Frankly, I was not too impressed with the video either. It looks really like something that adolescents would be impressed with.
Subaru need to go back to the TV ads they came out with, when the WRX first came into the US, in 2001, and build from there. I have always stated that the 2008 WRX was an aberration and from Subaru's perspective, that model is like a bad nightmare. The 2008 WRX was essentially an Outback Sport with a turbo in it, than the all-conquering WRX.
The 2009 WRX needs to get back to its rough-and-ready roots and you don't do it by doing silly "drifting" videos, especially when one is drifting off-the-road and not being able to stay on the road.
But I do understand what Bob is trying to say, which is that this is essentially the 2009 WRX, moving away from the lackluster image of the 2008, which is all good but do it while staying on the road, than off the road. -

All the rumors were true.
Bob -
rsholland Posts: 19,743As I suspected, it looks like SOA may be turning that '09 WRX and STI "fun" video into a commercial.
It (intentionally) comes off like a 1950s or 1960s era instructional video.

I got three bulbs last year that I grew in a pot. I kept the pot in my (heated) garage in the winter, but probably because it has a small window, the galtonias started coming up very early. Repotting them I broke a stem, but still now there are leaves from all 3 bulbs. But, there are no flowers coming. I decided last week to give them some bulb booster fertilizer, but what else can i do to help along flowers for next year? and should i make sure they are stored in the DARK? Thanks for your advice! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Start them in the pots - then, when they're well away - get them into the garden. Lots of yummy compost. Well-drained soil and reliable water. Sunshine. And back of the border because they grow to be Rather Large. You'd need a tub more than a pot to grow them well. Remove in autumn and keep frost free then do as you did and pot up for getting them started in spring. (G candicans gets to be around 4' high and has generous leaves, too. Not a shy plant...) |
One of my favorite and most reliable bloomers here. It is too early in the year to expect flowers. My patch is over 10 years old and about 3 feet in diameter from a single bulb. For several years I have been saving seed and growing them to bulbs to give to friends, which is how I got my bulb. My soil is well fortified with compost, but I have never used fertilizer. Our temperatures seldom fall below 25 degrees. They make sturdy stems which never require staking. Al |

Easter Egg Hunt
From BEAM Robotics Wiki
We apologize for the need to display ads on this wiki. But somehow we must pay for hosting.
On April 28, 1999 Steven Bolt posted a message to the alt-beam email list in which he proposed a robot Easter Egg Hunt contest that would be challenging enough to increase interest in BEAM robotics.
[edit] Steven's Proposal
The following comes from Steven's original post:
Last time I checked, there were 344 subscribers on this list – not significantly more or less than a year ago. The topics of discussion seem also pretty much the same. One could even argue that they have become less ambitious. Obviously, there ought to be a contest for those who have just discovered this hobby. But I think that a next, task-oriented level would make BEAM more attractive for all, not just for those who'd actually participate in that second contest.
It should happen in an `arena', designed to restrict the size of the `bots and provide them with an environment where cheap and simple sensors are sufficient. The arena should not be too large - let's say 100x50cm - and easy to put together. For a first `second level' contest, a flat, bordered surface with simple obstacles might do fine.
And the task? For instance this':
Five Aluminum foil balls with a diameter between 1 and 1.5cm would be positioned at random. Within a certain time a robot would have to find all these `Easter Eggs', and gather them within a 20x20cm area. This `nest' might be marked with an omnidirectional IR beacon and a black floor, the arena being white. Everything except the balls would be in a matt finish, making remote sensing of the reflective (and conductive) balls at least possible. The organizers would design and build a `bot which demonstrates that the task is doable, and publish the details. The aim of the contest is to not only do it, but do it faster. Points would also be earned by performing the task with a simpler `bot.
This particular task might stimulate developments useful for all sorts of practical applications. The `bots need to rapidly explore the whole arena, and have to make clever use of the single IR beacon. They also must be energy-efficient to have sufficient speed and stamina.
Participants would test their robots in their own arena's. The contest itself would use the `proxy' method, tried, tested and still popular in [Free_flight_(model_aircraft)#"Indoors" indoor aeromodelling]. You build your robot, write up a short manual and mail everything to the organizers. A competent proxy unpacks your robot, notifies you of arrival in good condition, does minor assembly if necessary, perhaps charges its batteries and finally puts it in the standard arena, but with obstacles and balls in different, randomly chosen positions. Afterwards the robots are mailed back together with any prizes won and perhaps a video of the event. The results would of course be published on the Web.
There are many questions left to answer, like whether participants would be obliged to publish their designs or not, whether a group of robots might be allowed, and so on. I hope it's worth a little more thought.
