I was volunteering in Siem Reap in August 2013 and came here TWICE (if I wasn't with a group of 8 I probably would have come here every day...) I recommend the falafel platter, hummus, tahini and freshly baked pita. These were hands down the best falafels I have ever eaten. Put some hot sauce in the hummus and there... More
Perhaps it was an off day for the chef, but I love middle eastern food and this place is very ho hum. The hummus was tasteless -- could it have been from a can? The Israeli salad had a little flavor from the salt and vinegar, but that's it. Ordinary setting -- meaning not all that nice. At the end,... More
This place is vegetarian (does offer fish), however one of the locally published magazine/guide books stated this place had meat kebabs (which is why we went here vs. Mezze-nightclub atmosphere with Lebanese food). We were disappointed that there was no meat, but everything we did have was delicious. Hummus, Israeli salad, and falafel wraps were all great. They even have... More
I LOVE LOVE LOVE going here to grab falafel and hummus to go on days I forget to pack lunch! The hummus is wonderful and we have been happy with everything we have ordered here. It's not the quickest service, but it tastes really fresh! I know not everyone is happy with the ambiance of the place- and I agree,... More
The food was ok. The atmosphere was less than ideal, a bit dingy and sad and not as inexpensive as it should have been. Biggest downside was that we WAITED NEARLY AN HOUR for a falafel set and sandwich with only 4 other people dining here. If you want a change of cuisine you'd be better off trying something closer... More
We were looking for something a bit different - needed a break from Khmer food! This was a great little find and away from crazy pub street. I found this place on TripAdvisor and it didn't disappoint - we had the falafel set, Israel salad and lemon juice, everything was fantastic. They have a really nice chili sauce as well... More
We ordered the falafel set to share and it was really good...service was good and the staff friendly...would go there again...really nice tahini and hummus and the pita was fresh too
We were just walking by on our way back to our hotel & I saw the sign Mother Earth Falafel Humus & as we are a little over western & Cambodian food after 6 weeks traveling thought we would just give it a try as it doesn't look very inviting from the road but after viewing the menu & prices... More
Mother Earth Have great vegetarian meal Fare price good local easy to find out staff very friendly. It on the main street Sivatha St. My first time with Falafel. Many kind of Falafel here.

I am looking into growing lilies for the first time this year. They will be grown in the field (no greenhouse or hoophouse). Could you give me suggestions on what varieties do well field grown and are good for beginners? |

I have a couple questions before I can offer a suggestion. I'm not familiar with Z6, when is your last frost date? What will you be growing these lilies for personal enjoyment, weddings or florists. Do you want fragrance? Do you need them to bloom by a certain date? Will they be fenced in? Lilies where I live a deer candy. |
- Posted by blaithinbeka 6 (My Page) on Tue, Jan 26, 10 at 19:23
We have an average last frost date of May 15 but being in the mountains it is not unusual to have some light frosts in late May. These are for a small, rural farmers market (although an artist's town). Our market runs from late April-December so anywhere in this time frame but the earlier the better as I have tons of flowers late in the summer but seem to have a harder time filling in those earlier months. Fragrance is good but not mandatory. As far as the deer, I've been thinking about that. I may have to use some electric fence. Thanks! |
- Posted by kitkat_oregon 7 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 27, 10 at 0:57
blaithinbeka, you might consider growing them in crates. They do really well and therefore dont take up bed space. That being said, the asiatics are reliable and lovely, few if any, having any fragrance to speak of. The orientals are a little more challenging, great fragrance, but they can suffer from sun scorch and do better with a little shade. They do command a nice price at my market. Visit Ednie Flower Bulb, they have a great selection with listings for days to bloom so you can stagger your plantings for continual harvest. Good luck. Kat |
- Posted by all_bout_flowers (My Page) on Wed, Jan 27, 10 at 13:28
I would agree with Kitkat. I ordered almost all of mine from Ednie they sell precooled bulbs. My fav's are Asiatics and be careful you select ones that won't all bloom at once. Deer will eat the tops right off if they are not fenced in, I think they prefer the Orientals at least the ones around here do. Crates are nice to grow them in. If they get an aphids or black spot use neem oil and that seems to take care of it. |
- Posted by blaithinbeka 6 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 27, 10 at 15:50
Thanks for the tips. My problem for the past three years has been crates. Every year I am going to plant lilies in crates but then can't find crates. I have only managed to acquire one. Any ideas? If I can find the crates, this would be great....because I DO greatly lack bed space. |
Ednie sells crates too! I don't think they are on the website but you can ask them and they will sell you some. :) |
Hi - if you are in the NW, you might also check with Gloeckner (they have a Clackamas, OR wareshouse) or VanderSalm bulbs in Woodland, WA. Helps with shipping. But, I also agree, Ednie is good too (need to check with them for more crates!). I've been getting my lilies from both for the past few years, staggered to come at 3-week intervals, that way I have lilies into October. However, since I'm an outside grower (in crates), I have finally learned not to plant the orientals in mid-July, I had a 10/10 hard freeze last year and lost 300 stems! Fortunately, I can plant the bulbs this year! I'm posting the link to Vandersalm below. They've also added glads this year, which is great...saves a ton on shipping from the midwest! If you plant in crates, don't forget your support netting! Good luck, |
Here is a link that might be useful: Vandersalm

If you have a dairy or a distribution for a dairy nearby, they usually have crates that they might give you if you take a quantity of them. Admitedly, they are milk crates and so you dont get as many bulbs to the crate but if you can get them free, the price is right:) Kat |
Try asking at local garden centers/nurseries if they have any to sell. I get mine at a place that once had a big excess and actually had a display out. After that I knew to ask if they had any extras. I usually pay $2 each (which is less than Ednie's), although when they had the display out, I think they were $1 each. Should have bought more.... Before you invest too much in orientals, see how your customers feel about their very powerful scent. I have a lot of people say orientals bother their allergies and won't buy them. The oriental-trumpet hybrids (called O-T or orienpet) often have a lighter citrusy scent. The great thing about planting prechilled bulbs in crates is that you can have lilies in August- October. I sell at a market in a DC bedroom community in a relatively rural county. A lot of people walk by my stand and say "oh I have those in my garden." Well they can't say that about lilies in September! |
- Posted by blaithinbeka 6 (My Page) on Tue, Feb 2, 10 at 18:25
Thanks for everyones help!! I have placed my order with Ednie and am going crate hunting when the weather clears up. |

Recruiting links, and (knock on wood) my last post for a while
First, here's our story from today on the Cliff Harris suspension and more details on his history of traffic violations, and failing to resolve them with various courts.
Ted Miller offered some analysis on the situation, and the Oregonian documented some reaction from UO running back Kenjon Barner.
At this point, what's left to resolve is whether the Ducks determine they need to self-report any NCAA violations to the Pac-10. As we wrote the other day, what seems most likely is that the use of a car originally rented by a UO employee by Harris and two other players will probably be deemed a secondary violation, but because the woman was reimbursed financially, the players don't figure to be ruled ineligible for any length of time by the NCAA. (That's assuming the details of the situation as we know them turn out to be true.)
While Harris was burning up the roads in Oregon, UO defensive line coach Jerry Azzinaro was burning up the recruiting trail (sorry, couldn't resist). Azzinaro earlier this week secured a verbal commitment from defensive tackle Alex Balducci of Portland, who picked the Ducks over Washington, and today came news that defensive end Cody Carriger out of Montana intends to sign with Oregon.
Heisman Pundit has assembled its list of college football's fastest players, and included LaMichael James on the honorable mention list.
Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports says Pac-10/12 commissioner Larry Scott currently reigns as the most powerful figure in college athletics.
And with that, I'm off for the next three weeks. I'll spend the next seven days road-tripping out to my wedding with my brother/best man (happy birthday, dude!), seeing MLB games in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and New York, get hitched next Saturday in Syracuse, N.Y.., and then head off on a honeymoon. The plan is to be back in the office on Monday, July 11, four weeks before the Ducks open fall camp.
The rest of the R-G sports staff, particularly Adam Jude and Ron Bellamy, will keep you abreast here of any pertinent news. Adios.

Have used this for years now. I love the scent, the feel of the oil and its moisturizing qualities. I use this after a hot shower and it's great for massages too.
This is the best product to use to retain/replenish moisture after a hot bath or shower. I smooth this on over my legs and arms after stepping out of the shower or tub while my skin is still somewhat damp or lightly dried. It imparts a fresh scent (I use the light sesame formula) and makes my skin silky, and even being an oil it isn't greasy. I am taking off one lippie for the scent--it isn't really bad, but I don't care for it.
This isn't cheap, but it isn't overpriced either as it lasts a long time and is effective. I will probably repurchase it unless I find a similar product that smells much better and is about the same price
One of the few products to which I remain loyal, this body oil is fabulous. Clean, very light, sesame scent. Feels wonderful applying and my skin just soaks it up. I don't find it greasy at all and it leaves a gentle glow, and very touchable. Not shiny by any means.
During the summer or when active outside, I prefer to wear this naked --- meaning without any additional fragrance.
A large bottle seems to last forever, therefore it's a great value.
I used to use this stuff like crazy (Equate makes a knock-off that's just as good). I LOVE this smell of this stuff, but hate the greasiness of it. Oils just don't seem to moisturize enough (Skin So Soft comes to mind), and I prefer emollient creams. Will probably repurchase in the future just for the yummy scent ;)
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I finished a bottle of this oil. It worked in summer. In cold winter, it is not heavy enought for my dry skin. My legs and arms are itchy in winter after using this oil. I have to switch to body butter instead. I don't hate the smell but I don't like the smell eithere. The only benefit is you need less time to apply it. Overall, it is OK and I won't buy it anymore.
Love the product. I ditto most people's comments about using right out of the shower. I love the smell and it's quicker than using moisturizer every morning. I don't love the packaging, as too much comes out at once and it becomes very messy. Also, for everyday use I find baby oil to be just as effective and cheaper, and lasts longer because it doesnt spill out as much.
I love to use when wearing a skirt, as it gives a little shine to my legs without making them cheasy-shimmery
I absolutely love this product. I have serious dry skin issues in the winter; my skin gets super tight, itchy, and uncomfortable. Happily, this body oil definitely keeps my skin smooth and baby soft; my boyfriend loves the way my legs feel after I use this product! Also, I'm a runner, which means my feet feel like rough hooves...except when I use this body oil! It makes my nasty feet feel nice for once! I find that it's most effective when I rub a small amount on my legs while they're wet from the shower, then firmly pat dry with an old towel; my clothes have absolutely no oil stains on them.
My biggest gripes about this product is that it contains parabens and that the packaging is super leaky. Whenever I need to take it somewhere I make sure to wrap it up in a plastic bag, but that doesn't stop some of the product from being wasted. Also, I recommend the unscented formula if you plan on wearing perfume; the scented version reeks of gardenias...ick. This oil is a little on the pricey side, but I believe it is well worth the money. I'm poor and in college, yet I always find a way to pay for my body oil, haha! I will definitely continue to buy this wonderful product.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I apply this to my legs after I get out of the shower. Then I apply lotion, and then tap with a towel to get any excess oiliness.
I much prefer this product to baby oil (which is what i had used for years). First, it is not mineral oil (which I've heard is not good for you). It feels less oily and goes on smoother. The packaging is great. Usually with oils I find that they drip and it's hard to get a precise amount of oil - this package is great and I hardly have any drips.
I always have this in the shower. But I use it for shaving more than anything else. It really works. Just a small dime size amount for wherever and a quick shave. Voila. Moisturized skin.
I love this oil as it's light and does a good job of moisturizing my skin. The scent is nice, too, though I wish there were a choice of scents as I would love a fruity scent more. I won't buy the unscented version as I LOVE scented oils and lotions and will always use them over the unscented stuff. However, I can't complain too much as I really do like this product, especially for right after showering. As others have noted, the price is steep considering the amount of product. I used to buy it at costco in order to get more (much more) for my money. However, costco has not carried it in about a couple of years (at least around where I live). But I still buy it anyway as I like it that much.

Getting to and around Seoul
Nonstop flights to Seoul are available from New York and San Francisco on Korean Air. Many major carriers also connect through Tokyo. The best way to get around Seoul is on the excellent subway system. Buses and cabs (a 15-minute taxi ride runs about $7) are a good alternative, but are susceptible to traffic. Addresses are complicated; ask your concierge to plot your route on a map to show your cab driver.

This brush is fabulous. Its great for buffing on any kind of powder foundation. The bristles are soft and smooth, but still dense enough to be effective. It cleans up very easily. I've had it for 4 months now and I use it only a daily basis... and I don't think I've ever seen it shed a bristle. I would highly recommend this brush and I will definitely purchase another one.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This brush is great! I use it for everything that involves my face makeup (foundation {liquid and setting powder, blush, and contour). It's a good quality brush and it's well worth the money. I've found my HG brush for my face, if only it could do eye makeup too!! LOL :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use this for EVERYTHING. Foundation, powder (mineral or regular), contouring with bronzer, blush (cream and powder). I find it's the only brush I can apply foundation with and the only brush I can apply cream blush with. I have 2 and will probably get another one!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This brush is amazing for applying all different textures of liquid foundations. It does not soak up the product and application is effortless, quick and even. I love it so much will be getting another one!!!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Update-it's now August 2014 and I just started using this brush again to apply my MAC full coverage cream foundation. It works amazingly well, better than I thought it would - in fact it's easier than my beauty blender (and makes my make up look equally good)!! The funny thing is that this brush is meant for mineral powder foundation not cream foundation LOL. My brush is looking old (although it works perfectly fine) so when it's time to replace I may just buy the urban decay one that looks similar just to try it out. But if that one doesn't work I'll be right back to the 45:)
Original review
Ive been using mineral makeup for almost ten years and over the years have used various brushes, puffs, and sponges to apply it. I switched to the Sephora loose mineral foundation recently and on the Sephora site this brush is recommended to use with it so I wanted to give it a try. I was able to swap for a new one but would have been fine with purchasing it because the price is reasonable for such a good quality brush. This brush is better than all the bare minerals brushes, MAC brushes, Bobbi Brown puffs, and MAC sponges that I have used in the past and I think I will stick with this brush for as long as it lasts before I purchase another. It picks up and holds powder - no loose powder particles falling off the brush, evenly applies just right amount, perfect coverage and it feels so soft. Bottom line- Ive found my HG foundation brush!

Amazing brush! I got this awhile back while it was on sale for 50% off and I am so happy I purchased it. I only use it for my mineral makeup and it works better than any BE kabuki. I will have to try with lx foundation.
I LOVE this brush. It feels very soft, unlike some brushes that feel bristle-like. It distributes so evenly my powder foundation or bronzer. I will never use another powder brush.
Well, I'm on board the Love Train with everybody else regarding this brush. This is a FANTASTIC face brush! I use it for liquid foundation, face powder, bronzer, you name it! My only problem is... I like it for BOTH liquids AND powders, so I find myself needing a 2nd one since I can't use it for both at the same time. So, I just placed an order for another #45 from Sephora. :) I guess that answers the question: "Would you buy this product again?" YESSSSS!!!
Not that I'll buy it again, but today I'm heading to my Sephora and buying two of these fantastic ''kittens'':))
absolutely the BEST multiuseful brush I've had had...it is sooo soft, so beautifully shaped, so good with your blush, powder, mineral powder...I haven't tried putting on the liquid foundation, but that's why I'm gonna go and purchase 2 more today...'cause some of you are using it as a foundation brush...really?:DDD
in my country the price for one tiny kitty brush (omg, sooo cute!!!)is about 10 $...so I'm surprised you gave some 26 bucks for it!!!
wonderful brush!!!
(p.s. I haven't washed it yet so I can't say whether it sheds, stinks...or not)
edit: so I tried it with my liquid foundation...I'm speechless just how great this is!!!amazing finish!!!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Agree with the mental imagery of the reviewer below me: 'it's like putting on your makeup with a tiny kitten.'
This is what I wanted MACs profoundly, offensively disappointing 109 to be. A versatile, dense, soft synthetic brush to apply basically anything. For $26 this brush is a steal. It can perform the task of every other face brush I own. I wish I had known about it sooner.

Leave out the 1/2 t salt, and this is a good 3.5 forks! Compared to the other granola recipes on this site, this one has some advantages, namely, the cinnamon, vanilla, and orange zest. Those really add to the flavor! This one also crisped up well without modifying the baking temp/time. Stirring not necessary. Looking forward to combining the strengths of each granola recipe on this site to come up with the "ultimate" perfect granola recipe :)

Beautiful beachfront retreat located on Playa Serena in Gorgona which is just under an hour drive from Panama City. Our place is right on the beach, the sounds of the waves 24/7 makes this a fabulous spot to relax. The weather in the area is consistent year round with temperature from 28 - 33 C and the ocean out front is always warm for swimming.
The beach stretches on for miles which is great for daily walks/runs and sea shell collecting.
All the features you would require of a modern fully furnished condo are here from bedding to laundry to cooking.
Eating in/out: If you don't feel like cooking there is a great restaurant/bar just around the corner from Playa Serena - 'La Ruina'. Beer is $1, the food is good and the place is very friendly. There are also a great variety of restaurants a 5 minute drive away in Coronado. Here you also have 2 large modern grocery stores open 24hrs.
The mountains are only 20 minutes away if you're interested in an exhilarating jungle hike or just lounge by the pool or both..

Guest Picks: 20 Chic & Affordable Furnishings For the Living Room
Invest In a Few Key Pieces and Save on Others For a Chic and Budget-Friendly Look
I am always on the hunt for lovely and affordable furnishings for my own and clients' homes. Today I am showing some of my recent favorites.
I hope you like them as much as I do! — Monika from Splendid Willow
I hope you like them as much as I do! — Monika from Splendid Willow
I have a serious crush on this bookshelf ladder! It adds a little bit of industrial feel to a living space and provides the perfect shelf to put books and plants on.
This Chesterfield-style couch is classic, timeless — always right. You get quite a bit of sofa for the price. I want it for my own home.
A leather Butterfly chair that won't brake the bank! Love the cognac color.
This unique metal table adds charm and character to any setting. It has been on my own wish list for quite awhile. I would use it as a plant table for only white orchids and/or some myrtle plants.
A cluster of white orchids on the plant table above: how lovely!
I have been looking for good and timeless armchairs for a couple of my clients. This one gets my thumbs up. Comfortable and handsome. I would use a different pillow, though, one with some pattern.
Since gray is one of my favorite colors, I am naturally drawn to these simple planting pots from IKEA. Very Scandinavian!
Love the design and also the color. This is a pretty and not predictable side table.
I am already tired of all the rectangle industrial "raw wood" coffee tables. Here is a pretty round one for a change and it almost has a retro feel.
This hand-carved tribal table has already moved in with me! I love it and it is so versatile.
I have found many great and affordable jute rugs at Overstock. I particularly like this bleached, handwoven one.
Best pillow cover in town! I like everything about it — the size, the texture, the strong pattern, the zipper and the price! (The insert needs to be purchased separately.)
Looking for handmade, lovely window treatments that won't break the bank? I found these lovely ones made of 100 percent linen on Etsy!
Wooden spheres are always wonderful accent pieces. These multi-sided "almost spheres" are just terrific.
This reversible black and navy blue throw is woven with a rich alpaca wool blend. I like good quality throws. And I have always wanted to go to Peru. Looks like a winner to me!
These baskets would make for perfect storage for magazines, books or firewood.
This apothecary-style floor lamp looks both classic and timeless, and is very affordable.
This lovely botanical print would work in both traditional and modern rooms.
I really like the idea of placing small black and white photos on this flat wall bowl. But it is also lovely as a decorative display on a table.
I must say that Restoration Hardware is producing many wonderful furnishings and objects at the moment, like this grandly-scaled sconce, a replica of an original that once illuminated a French architect's studio in the 1940s. Not cheap, but a fraction of what an original would have cost!

Great suggestions. I like the spheres best. Might have to go and order one now. Oh and the butterfly chair makes me dizzy with love. I need accents like this add edge to the antiques on my place.

Whispers in eastern Canada about palms and bamboo along the British Columbia coast were words of taboo. Nowadays exotic flora in coastal BC can be enjoyed by the entire country. The author of this channel names plants while he displays them on his channel. It's great for the BC coastal gardener.
The wonders of BC contradict Canadian gardening as a whole. Think of Hong Kong as being a different part of China. Now think of BC as a SAR zone but for gardening rather than politics. Every Canadian gardener should experience BC gardening with at least a visit. |

If I were in BC I would visit your gardens but to visit BC just to see them--that would be a no thanks. Frankly I get no kick out of visiting a garden that has a temperate climate and it is easy to grow things. Any fool can grow a garden in those circumstances. What I would get a kick out of is visiting an arctic garden and seeing how they do things and deal with an inhospitable climate. You can keep bragging and maybe someone will listen but count me out |

Den, I have visited this garden, I felt like I was standing in a tropical jungle, really impressive. A lot of palms and bananas are starting to pop up in gardens in the city where I live. I'm more of a cottage style gardener myself but I still stand in awe when viewing these majestic plants, thanks for sharing. |
Den Vic, It's nice looking garden and sure it's remarkable given that it's in BC - and not in California. I have been in BC and actually lived in the interiors for at least a year. I love the climate of the interiors and of the island but I just couldn't stand the rainy weather in the coastal areas. Back then (~30 years ago) tropicana types couldn't survive the area. I can only think of climate changes that allow tropical plants to survive there. If so, that is worrisome. In some areas of Toronto, even the Japanese banana manage to survive. It's either the heat of the city or again climate change. or the El Nina effect. One can only look at the devastation in China and Pakistan to see how bad the climate has become. However, of course it can also be that plants were developed to tolerate colder zones. I know the Japanese bananas trees is one such case. In my old tropical country, we do have palms growing in the highest mountains which are colder areas and so I can see how some plants from a more cooler climate can be developed further for cold tolerance. |
When is the best time of year to see it? |
Den. They are only Windmill palms! I find gardening more challenging in Toronto.I am not interested of visiting BC. |

Duoderm as adhesive tape? - page 2
Hi We use duoderm on top of the baby's skin as a base to fix other tapes onto ie prior to intubation fixation or NG/OG tubes. I've just been visiting a unit in Amsterdam and they have stopped... Read More
2Sep 18, '08 by elizabellsQuote from VivaLasViejasVery true, but when you have a micro who bleeds from underneath her EKG leads and pretty much anywhere else you touch her, you do what you gotta do.That's some pretty expensive "tape"...........VivaLasViejas and Jessy_RN like this.
0Sep 18, '08 by preemieRNkateQuote from lvnurs9Eww, and it smells like feet sometimes....The only thing I don't like about duoderm is that when it becomes wet, it can cause skin breakdown underneath it. I have seen several occasions where the baby's saliva causes the duoderm to get wet and it just sits there forever.... when you take it off to retape or something, there is breakdown underneath from it being wet for days.
0Sep 21, '08 by wensdayNot heard anything in the UK, and our Matron is bit news in the world of skin (apparently).
We use duoderm under tape for ogt/ngt/nasal canula 02/skin probe tape, also over broken skin from heel pricks/extravasations/poor fitting stoma bags etc.
It's pretty much our universal dressing. Only other dressing we really use is mepitel, usually on broken down (split) necks on grossly oedematous kids. you always know when a bbay is on its way out when it's covered in duoderm and mepitel. -
0Sep 22, '08 by OlivereindeerI have previously worked as a Wound Management Consultant. Hydrocolloids are considered to stimulate overgranulation of tissue which might be what they are referring to. We use hydrocolloids as anchoring tapes for protection - they are considered safe and cause less dermal stripping to neonatal skin that traditional tapes providing they are allowed to remain in place for at LEAST 24 hours. We see our babies come back for follow up for years after and I cant say I have ever heard of one having facial skin problems related to the use of a hydrocolloid.
Tapes straight on the face are just nasty.
Does anyone use a different brand of hydrocolloid - I thought Duoderm had pretty much gone out with the ark and newer more evolved hydrocolloids had replaced them (eg. comfeel, smith and Nephew Brand). Duoderm is derived from Pectin (fruit starch) which is why it ends up being all gooey and sticky where as the other brands are now made from cellulose/water.
They are not made to stay on areas once they have changed colour to a white area. We find that the use of them to make whiskers to provide a better seal for nasal prong CPAP is tricky. They become wet quite quickly and they are changed when this occurs. They are not suitable for use direectly under a dribbing mouth! I also dont like the idea of hydrocolloids over a heel prick..having a dirty foot with a blood drip on it with a stick to the skin would increase infection rate I presume.
I LOVE Mepitel..it is a great dressing..wonderful for excoriated wet areas..a little expensive up front but worth it due to its effectiveness.Last edit by Olivereindeer on Sep 22, '08 -
0Sep 29, '08 by NICURN29, BSN, RNWe very rarely use Duoderm. I have used it perhaps twice to make CPAP prongs larger when the size 5s just weren't large enough to make a seal, but that's it!
0Sep 29, '08 by SteveNNPOlivereindeer, I think you are right....
We use the Smith & Nephew brand which everyone calls "duoderm," but it is soft and rubbery, unlike the stiff, plasticky, body-heat-activated Duoderm I remember using on adult pressure ulcers.
I'm sure we're using the cellulose version vs the pectin. -
0Oct 5, '08 by UTVOL3Over the last couple years we have started using something called Vigilon on skin tears and I LOOOOVE it. It really works nicely on say their legs or feet if they have little skin tears there from when they've rubbed. Or skin tears from a diaper, or tape. You can stick it under leads too without a problem even under temp probes or sat probes. It kind of has the consistency of Jello. And it does not get all Feety smelling like the duoderm.

Congrats Martina and Tatiana!
WOW! Who would've thought that Martina would get to the semi's of both the singles and doubles in her first tournament back!?!?!? :eek: :worship:
And it also means that at the very least she'll have had SEVEN matches this week - very nice practice for the Aus Open. Add to that however many matches she gets next week in Sydney and she should be quite prepared for the Oz! :D :bounce:
Jan 5th, 2006, 12:21 PM
Wow! :yeah: :bounce:
I really believed in Martina's comeback and hoped she'll do great, but winning singles and doubles, that's just too good! :worship: :D
Go Martina & Tati!! :woohoo:

But Afterall it's really impressive! Go Girls!

I know, i'm getting worried that she's going to play too much and tire herself out......but seeing that i'm going to Sydney and I LOVE seeing her play doubles - it's always so exciting and entertaining, there's a part of me that's really selfish and hopes she plays doubles at Sydney! ;) lol
I do think Black/Stubbs will be a little tough at the moment though :(

Jan 5th, 2006, 02:33 PM
I'm worried, too. I sort of think Martina under estimated herself. She entered two tune up tournaments before the AO to make sure she got enough match play in. But she's already played five matches now in less than five days and that does not give her body much time to recuperate, especially in those blistering Australian temperatures.
I know she is trying to get match tough and to regain her anticipation and timing, which comes for her with a lot of play. But she is walking a fine line between preparation and over playing in the heat. We'll see what happens.
Jan 5th, 2006, 03:23 PM
:bowdown: Go Martina & Tati for your first title as a team
Jan 5th, 2006, 04:25 PM
Team Hotness :drool:.
At least Tati's winning doubles. Good luck against Black/Stubbs :banana:
Jan 5th, 2006, 04:42 PM
Next match is the real test as to whether martina is a top contender for the AO doubles title.... i believe stubs/black won wimbledon?
Jan 5th, 2006, 04:48 PM
Bravo GirLs =)
Jan 5th, 2006, 07:08 PM
Next match will be much more difficult. :unsure:

Jan 5th, 2006, 07:58 PM

Jan 5th, 2006, 08:00 PM
that's so awesome!!
Jan 5th, 2006, 08:31 PM
I don't see why people are acting so surprised that Martina is doing well, she is one of the best players EVER, and is WELL rested ;)
Jan 5th, 2006, 09:15 PM
Yes, I don't think that even Martina herself expected to be playing this much. She was probably counting on a couple of matches here and a couple of matches in Sydney. Hopefully she won't be too tired at the Aus Open. Playing this many matches in a row after a long layoff is sure to bring some sores, but as long as those sores are kept under control, she should be fine.
Jan 6th, 2006, 03:19 AM
I'm not liking Tati's new look.

We Need An Oktober(blog)Fest!
Posted by Stuart Herbert on October 3rd, 2011 in Community.
After Chris Shiflett's Ideas of March call earlier in the year, we had a fantastic period where the conversation moved from Twitter back to longer pieces on blogs.
Sadly, that has faded out once more. We need another blog revival.
To (slightly) paraphrase Chris's original call, it's very easy to take part in Oktober(blog)Fest:
- Write a post called Oktober(blog)Fest.
- List some of the reasons you like blogs.
- Pledge to blog more the rest of the month.
- Share your thoughts on Twitter with the #oktoberblogfest hashtag.
- If we all blog a little more than we normally would this month, maybe we can be reminded of all of the reasons blogs are great.
Over in Germany, it's currently the OktoberFest, where much beer gets consumed. And it just happens that October is also one of the important months in the PHP conference calendar … where much beer gets consumed :-)
- There are two of the larger PHP conferences this month – PHP NorthWest 2011 and ZendCon.
- If you go to either of these conferences, please blog about your experiences of the conferences, the topics you see and hear, and especially the fantastic ideas you come away with that you're dying to try for yourself
- Share the link to your conference blog post on Twitter with the #oktoberblogfest hashtag, so that we can all find and read your blog post.
It should be a great month of reading :-)

October 3rd, 2011 at 2:35 pmAs for the conferences, there's also Webkonf (http://webkonf.org/) held this weekend (October 8th) in Budapest! Ferenc aka Tyr43l (https://twitter.com/#/Tyr43l) will be speaking about PHP 5.4 and I'll be speaking on Zend Framework 2 :)
Oktober(blog)fest! ~ Robert Basic says:
October 3rd, 2011 at 3:00 pm[...] a blog movement back in March, thanks to Stuart Herbert we now have a new one for October – Oktober(blog)fest! [...]
John says:
October 3rd, 2011 at 6:02 pm… that's a nice idea, but please don't flood planet php and such with off-topic posts. thanks.
Stuart Herbert says:
October 3rd, 2011 at 6:11 pm@john: encouraging people to blog more about PHP does not seem to be off-topic :-)
Christian Weiske says:
October 4th, 2011 at 11:00 amWe do not need a Oktoberblogfest. You (and I) want more blog posts about topics that are of our interest – not blog posts about liking blog posts.
Stuart Herbert says:
October 4th, 2011 at 2:13 pm@christan I'm just echoing Chris's original call. I didn't see you complain at the time.
LornaJane says:
October 16th, 2011 at 10:09 amI missed this original article, but I second this call! I find the blog-and-comments format a much better way of exchanging technical thoughts than any kind of 140 character or "social" system. I'm off to fill up my drafts folder and get back on track with my blog, thanks for the nudge :)

Guesting with a twist... Say your a highelf in your locked faction. You really want to see ther other factions maps so you guest the Ebonheart faction and you pick a race. You are now magicly turned into a darkelf with all the same gear and stats and same level. You can explore and quest without breaking the players in that factions imersion. You wont have PvP everywhere as this would give the pure PvE fans their space. This would let TES fans that want to go everywhere the ability to do so. And you could also go play with any of your friend on any faction in PvE. Only thing is you cant join the AvA fight on a guested faction. Here is a idea that wont take the devs chucking out alot of the game to make it work. Any ideas on how to make this work? Suggestions? Get enough support and the devs may even listen to this one. |

I could live with that sort of compromise, but there is a hardcore element that really gets attached to "their avatar" and won't abide by having to change its race/appearance to accomodate this mechanic. Also, you open up some interesting issues with realm spying which actually does make a difference in an RVR specific game so some changes would have to be done in this area to cut down on it. Arrogant, Condescending, Dismissive, Elitist, "Meany", you speak as if these are bad things? |

Well, it's a good idea but I don't like it as I'm one of the people who gets attached to their avatar. Having said that, I'd take it. The only way I could see it working is if the altered avatars can't be seen and can't see the other side. Meaning, they can only see each other (other altered avatars) and in effect become a different aspect of the megaserver. Call them, say "explorers". |
Originally posted by Sovrath That could be a filter in the mega server and would stop spying.

Originally posted by Nanfoodle Well, that's why I'm for opening up the world so that friends could quest But that's another thread. This goes back to the eating your cake and still having it too idiom. If the world is going to be segregated and precisely because that segregatioin supports the RvR model then any solution to allow travel to other areas has to be removed from ever affecting the RvR model. |

Originally posted by Nanfoodle or, why not just have a pve megaserver shard that has nothing to do with any conflict? There is no Cyrodil access, you can't collect anything that has anything to do with RvR and just allow people to explore and quest and make their own game. I say this knowing absolutely nothing about what is in any area that could support a RvR side. |

Unique swings provide a serene feeling of freedom; letting the wind whip through your hair as you pump your legs and gaze towards the sky is an addicting sensation. It's no wonder swings are always the first thing to be coveted at a playground. These unique swings allow for that same airborne rush with flair and finesse that is uncompromising.
Nostalgic children's playground items re-imagined as furniture, public seating or advertising gimmicks can spark a lot of attention, really amp up a room and make a public space more appealing and welcoming for people walking down the street. Swing adaptations provide an outlet for the busy go-getters of the world to take time out and play like they were six again without having to go to a kiddy park and embarrass themselves.

Liver Transplant Center - Farmington, NMFarmington General Surgeon Doctors for Liver TransplantType of Physician: General Surgeon What is a General Surgeon? A certification by the Board of Surgery. Practitioners manage a wide range of surgical conditions affecting almost any area of the body. Surgeons provide the diagnosis and the care to patients before, during, and after surgery. They are usually responsible for the comprehensive management of trauma victims and the critically ill. Surgeons have special knowledge and skills in birth defects, tumors, infections, and metabolic problems relating to the head and neck, breast, abdomen, extremities including the hand, and the gastrointestinal, vascular, and endocrine systems. General surgeons are expected to be familiar with the most relevant features of other surgical specialties in order to recognize problems in those areas and to know when to refer a patient to another specialist.

What do Chris Horner, Michele Scarponi, Simon Spilak, and Przemyslaw Niemiec have in common?
All four riders are in the top 50 of the UCI WorldTour rankings; Niemiec is lowest at 42nd, with 118 points. And all four are currently without a contract.
On Vacansoleil-DCM, one of two WorldTour teams that will fold at the end of 2013, just 10 of 29 riders have signed contracts with other WorldTour teams. Another six will step down at least one level. The remainder don't have firm contracts yet.
At Euskaltel, the other team that will stop, things are even worse; just four of its 28 riders have firm WorldTour rides for next year (a fifth, Igor Anton, is in negotiations). A handful of others have interest from Pro Continental or Continental teams, but many could find themselves racing amateur next year, if at all.
Faced with the rough job market, some riders, like Garmin-Sharp's Robbie Hunter and Argos-Shimano's Francois Parisien, are simply retiring.
Even if you have a deal, times are tough. Jan Bakelants and Thomas De Gendt both signed with Omega Pharma, but only after general manager Patrick Lefevre openly admitted that he was pitting the riders against each other, a strategy seemingly designed to set off a reverse bidding war between their agents.
It's a remarkable scenario brought about by the sudden contraction of the pro team market. In addition to Vacansoleil and Euskaltel, two Pro Continental teams (Champion System and Sojasun) will also call it quits.
For 2014, only 18 teams are applying for WorldTour spots, of which there are...18. Contrast to 2012, when, with 21 applicants, teams were so desperate for points that they employed unusual methods to boost their sporting criteria. Ag2r signed an Iranian rider in his early 30s, Amir Zargari, who had done well on the UCI Asia tour in 2011. He raced all of 32 days for them (just four in WT-level events) before they cut him loose after that single season.
To be sure, there are other reasons why riders are having a hard time finding a deal. Scarponi and Horner are both older, and Scarponi was involved in Operacion Puerto. But Scarponi had consistent results all season and Horner just won the Tour of Spain. If 2014 was looking like 2012, there's no way they'd be having this many issues finding a team.
It's even tougher if you had a bad year. Anton and Sammy Sanchez aren't getting much love trying to board a life raft off of the S.S. Euskaltel.
There is one positive out of the shift, however. In boom years like 2012, teams feverishly chased points and sacrificed the workers—the guys who put in the anonymous kilometers on the front before the TV cameras turn on, who drop back to the team car for water bottles, or who use all their effort to make pace on the penultimate climb or in the last kilometer of the sprint and drift back to an unremarked 67th place.
Now, as teams feel less pressure to chase points to qualify for the WT, they're focusing on rounding out their teams. Witness Trek, which is still in discussions with Horner but confirmed new contracts for a quartet of climbing support riders: Haimar Zubeldia, Robert Kiserlovski, Laurent Didier, and Matthew Busche.
The new dynamic may not last. Formula One driver Fernando Alonso is continuing to work toward fielding a WorldTour team in 2015, and the average number of WT applicants since 2010 is 20.
Further, a document on the UCI web site published by the blog Inner Ring notes that by 2020, the UCI envisions just 16 teams at the sport's top level, and a system of promotion and relegation that will undoubtedly be based partly on what is today called sporting criteria (points). More teams vying for fewer spots will create competition.
But the current environment might be worth studying as the UCI, under new president Brian Cookson, enacts changes to the sport. What system might offer both a chance for a Grand Tour winner to get a contract, but not at the expense of the riders who helped him win?

Aug. 1, 2013 the wood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Has the game really been toned down? Tim, I thought that I did spell out the era that I was talking about by saying 30-35 years ago. Since this is now 2013, subtracting 30 and 35 from it would put us in the year 1978 to 1983. More than 'very few' hit HRs during that span. But, as I said, there was a clear distinction between table setters and power hitters. Of the guys now playing senior ball (bear in mind I'm not talking about the 50 division) only a handful were deemed power hitters years ago. I'm guessing that you're 12-13 years younger than me so our areas were different. BW |
Aug. 1, 2013 the wood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Has the game really been toned down? 'The truth is that most senior players never hit a HR when they were younger'... based upon my experience, I'd have to agree with this in concept. I always felt that it was a pretty clear distinction between HR hitters and table setters (30-35 years ago). At the risk of splitting hairs, I would substitute the word 'seldom' for 'never' though. Many table setters hit occasional HRs but it wasn't their primary objective. As I read it, Kevin's point is really about the egos of senior players and how hitting HRs feed into that. It amuses me to watch guys who are not power hitters pretend to be one. With 1.2 or 1.21 bats a guy with warning track power can now hit the ball 310'... and he'll waste several At Bats trying to do so. BW |
July 30, 2013 the wood | Topic: Bats Discussion: need a white combat cent , MM, Who could argue that Cleveland was the capitol of softball at one time? Isn't that where Tom Aldrich, World's Greatest Softball Fan, called home? He must have been, because he had a 'bowling shirt' with that inscription on it. The guy did know everyone and he did know the game. Also, isn't that the home of Hillcrest Tavern? :-) Bob Woodroof |
July 30, 2013 the wood | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Major Plus 'All major teams will be allowed 6 Major Plus players' and then eliminate the M+ division? 1) What would be SSUSA's motivation to do this? They had 450 teams (+ -) in LV last fall. The M+ divisions had enough teams to make it attractive for them. The M divisions were loaded with teams... AAA had even more. If you were an SSUSA partner would you mess with the golden goose? 2) The division between M & M+ has been there for 14 years now. Aside from USSSA (and now ISSA), the senior assns have maintained this split. We can all speculate as to why this is so but we can't deny that this is how it's been. 3) ISSA has experimented with the merger of M & M+ but I can't really comment on its effectiveness (we haven't played in any ISSA events since 2003). Before LVSSA and SSUSA merged (and SSWS went away) the top 4 events were the LVSSA, SSUSA, SPA and SSWS National Tourneys (IMO). I'm basing this on the M+ division and the criteria is the group of teams that attended (quantity and quality). ISSA was not one of those events from 2005-2009. It was 10-15 years ago though. One could guess that their motive to merge M/M+ is market share based... or... it could be that they wanted to increase bracket sizes. I'm not in a position to know the real answer. As an aside, SSUSA was the first assn to extend the deadline on 1.2 bats (taking a calculated risk) and this has worked well for them. Many of you were not aware that this occurred in 2004 or so. Coincidently, you can purchase any one of several senior bats from SSUSA's web site. Hmmm! 4) Lastly, the 'behavior of senior players' is such that eliminating M+ will most likely create a chain reaction of events such as the 'roster shuffling' previously mentioned. Again, why would SSUSA risk injuring its cash cow? When I say the behavior of senior players I'm talking about a strong majority but not every player. These are just my feelings but they are based upon what I've observed over the past 16 years. It is my opinion that it would take a catastrophic event ($ driven) for SSUSA to do away with M+. But... if I'm wrong about this (and I've been wrong many times before) one team that would benefit from such a change would be Ruth Realty (any of the Ruth teams currently rated as a M team). If you connect the dots you'll find that Bill Ruth owns part of SSUSA. It was Bill that felt that the FL & CA borders ought to be closed even though there was/is no compelling evidence to support this. As Yogi Berra once said 'you can observe a lot just by watching'.

July 22, 2013 the wood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: surgery scheduled Good luck to you! BTW, who were the SPA winners? BW |
July 20, 2013 the wood | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LVSSA 2007 No, it wasn't Mark Schaeffer. He never played for Shubin's... just Capitol & Bemco. Skip Young? He hasn't played in 25 years that I know about. The last I heard is that we was working for Ganahl Lumber in Anaheim. Bull plays for the Nighthawks, still in great condition, still a force. I do not know the whereabouts of any of the other guys. Yes, I'd love to have one of the DVDs. My email address is email@example.com Tell your dad that I said 'hello'. BW |
July 19, 2013 the wood | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LVSSA 2007 Swing: We played in Cal Cup, too, and it was a little cooler than when you played. Still, there were zero HRs in 3 days... not in our games, not in any games that I witnessed. So the Trump Stote ball is no box of chocolates. The make up of the 52/300 ball is such that it doesn't lose its compression as 44/375 balls do. I don't work with Kevin nor do I have any interest in sales of softballs of any type. But I do trust him. I also know Mad Dog to be a straight shooter. The things that are proponents of the 52/300 ball are... injuries are less severe... doesn't lose its compression in higher temps (when compared to 44/375)... it seems to respond to almost all bats in the same way (cheater bats seem to have no advantage)... Obviously, it has its downside, which you and several others have pointed out. Bear in mind that I'm speaking generically, not about a particular brand. How do I feel? I would be OK if we went back to 47/525 and aluminum alloys. I'm ok staying with what we have. I don't really care. But traveling 500 miles to play in 95+ temps, with the Stote balls and having one other team to play won't work. BW |
July 19, 2013 the wood | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: LVSSA 2007 KNDKCOOK: I knew your father... played with him here and there. If I recall correctly, he was a catcher in the Pirate organization. We called him 'Opie Taylor' because of his hair cut. Since I'm from Orange County, I mostly played against Kent when he was on the Anaheim Merchants and Rodeo Room. One of his Rodeo Room teammates took up with my ex-wife and I was never able to properly thank him. :-) I had several friends that played for Shubin's. Rick Wheeler and Ron Galvan come to mind as likely guys to have been on the '86 team. I lost touch with Kent so I have no idea if he's still living or not. I knew that he had a bad back. Bob Woodroof (Blinky's, Association, Capitol Insulation, Bemco) |
July 16, 2013 the wood | Topic: Bats Discussion: GSC bat Jason, I'm a bit confused on the production process. It seems that it was over 2 months ago that the P413 received its approval from Dr. Brandt's office. Then GSC (and a few random players from other teams) used it in Reno. Then you recently mentioned that the production was/is delayed for 'a few finishing touches'. Are these merely cosmetic in nature or are they structural? BW |
July 3, 2013 the wood | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Major Plus 'Looking at this from a business standpoint, why would you chance losing teams by combining these 2 divisions, in particular, some Major teams to satisfy the few, which exemplifies the Major Plus teams.' Duke - July 3. Bingo! Until players really understand this they'll continue to offer suggestions/opinions on this matter. While I agree with many things stated on this subject matter, there will be no changes. Senior softball is something that most of us totally enjoy doing but it is a business for the senior associations, whether they're structured as 'for profit' or not. The same goes for the bat makers, shoe makers, uniform makers, etc. We are a revenue source. Period. If M and M+ were combined (something that I favor) there would be many teams disband or attempt to drop into the AAA division. The obvious impact would be less gross revenue for senior associations. We'll be just as wise to discuss how we might change the weather. Interesting dialogue at times but totally unproductive. There are two constants... It is what it is... and it aint changin'. M+ players are similar to the Georgian Colonists whose primary role was to be a buffer from the Native Americans. BW |
July 1, 2013 the wood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Just had complete hip replacement. HTG: I had both hips replaced via the 'lateral minimally invasive' procedure. The first was 2 1/2 yrs ago and the second one was a year later. Neither hip causes me any pain today but it does take a long time to regain leg strength and mobility. This may be more about the 'time wasted' than a by product of the surgeries. I do know a guy that had the 'thru the groin' procedure and he said that the post-surgical precautions are much less than what I had. I'm able to play as I did before but I still don't run as well as I'd like... but not due to pain. I'm sure that you'll rehab as vigorously as possible. Hope to see you out there again. BW |
June 27, 2013 the wood | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Major Plus Beasley, I like the way that think and express yourself (not that you need my approval). I particularly like the 'toothpaste tube' analogy. You used the word 'guts' as it relates to major teams moving up to M+ or not. While it may not be politically correct in today's social climate, I believe that it's a fair word because there are many teams that find more ways to move down than to compete. Not all M teams can compete at the M+ level but plenty could. Regardless if you use 'guts' or some other word, the concept is the same. As a 65 M+ team we experience all of the same problems as you (and Malo) have mentioned plus a couple more. Like you, it's the thrill of playing the best and playing with great people that keeps us going. BW |
June 27, 2013 the wood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: San Clemente 7/12,13,14/2013 Jerry, I was sorry to hear of your father's passing. I am glad though that you had so many years to share with him. I did not know him but, as Marv said, he must have been a good guy. My mother died 2 years ago and it just isn't same without her. As much as we miss her, I wouldn't want her to suffer any longer. Hang in there! BW |
June 25, 2013 the wood | Topic: Bats Discussion: bats Kevin, then make it 101 guys on your list. :-) I know a ton of guys that really like their Combat bats, whichever species, and will be thrilled to know that they'll be even more durable. If the break in time is reduced then this will be a double bonus. Good to know... BW |
June 25, 2013 the wood | Topic: Bats Discussion: bats Kevin, Do you have an idea of the approximate price for this bat? BW |
May 21, 2013 the wood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Thanks to Smith Electric and staff in Prescott I'm glad to hear that your father is ok. I'm sure that this was a big scare for you and your family. We had already hit the highway and wasn't aware that this had happened. But I'm not surprised that Smith Electric chose to handle it that way. Dennis Merkle, their manager, is one of those people that serves the game... he doesn't expect it to serve him. In addition to Merk, they have an entire cast of people that are similar. The Tom Tobin TD and staff work very hard to make this a good event. We always look forward to being in Prescott in mid May. I'm happy that they are getting some of the recognition that they deserve. Bob Woodroof, Full Circle |
May 15, 2013 the wood | Topic: Website comments Discussion: GSC SENIOR BAT IN RENO Swing, I tried to stay there but somebody's ASME card fell out of my wallet during the check-in process. They told me that they didn't need any feedback on the building's structure and that they had no vacancies. :-) (ASME = American Society of Mechanical Engineers). Too bad, because I had spotted a couple of obvious code violations. A good friend of mine told me that the 'I am not an engineer' comment sounded a bit like Dick Nixon... I'm pretty sure that he didn't mean this as a compliment. :-) BW |
May 14, 2013 the wood | Topic: Website comments Discussion: GSC SENIOR BAT IN RENO Ed: I am not an engineer, as you know from our personal dialogues. But I do believe very strongly in the practice of 'rigorous honesty'. My picture and name is on GSC's web site and, IMO, this heightens my responsibility toward full disclosure. If you're looking for a reason why I am this conservative, blame it on the SEC, NASD or FINRA. I have lots of friends, and some clients, who view this board. Any time that I 'endorse' (read = speak favorably) a product I feel an extra obligation toward truth... not just part of it. In speaking with Steve McKinlay I was told that they appreciate 'whole truths'. BW |
May 8, 2013 the wood | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Thanks For Your Prayers! That's good to hear, Southpaw. Grandchildren are one of the few things in life that isn't over-rated, IMO. I know of several players that missed quite a bit of their kids' events but will not make the same mistake with their grandkids. But more importantly, as a grandfather, I'm sure that you felt her pain and would have preferred that the dog bit you. We have triplet granddaughters that will be 4 in 6 weeks. They were 11 weeks premature and spent two months in the NICU. Other than one of them wearing corrective lens, they are very healthy and are bonafide 'mind blowers' for our whole family. Every time that I see them I laugh uncontrollably... but I'm very thankful of the road that they have traveled. God is good. BW |

Wednesday, September 03 08:06:26
Gold struggled on Wednesday to recover strongly from sharp overnight losses and traded near its lowest level in two-and-a-half months on a stronger dollar and robust U.S. economic data that curbed the metal's safe-haven appeal. The dollar hovered around 14-month highs against a basket of major currencies, underpinned by stronger-than-expected U.S. data and a resulting rise in Treasury yields. A stronger greenback hurts dollar-denominated gold as it makes the metal more expensive for holders of other currencies.
Spot gold ticked up slightly to $1,268.16 an ounce by 0630 GMT, not far from $1,262.42, its lowest since mid June, hit in the previous session. Gold fell 1.7 percent on Tuesday, its biggest one-day drop since July 14.
Markets are awaiting the ECB meeting on Thursday as they seek clarity on the bank's response to a stalled recovery, disappearing inflation and the sluggish pace of reform in the euro zone.
Some investors expect the ECB to unveil fresh stimulus, after French President Francois Hollande and ECB President Mario Draghi agreed on Monday that deflation and weak growth were threatening the European Union's economy.
U.S. data on non-farm payrolls and unemployment rate, due on Friday, were also eyed to gauge the strength of the world's biggest economy and its impact on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy.
Geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East failed to support gold as the stronger dollar offset any safe-haven bids. SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund and a measure of investor sentiment, said its holdings fell 1.8 tonnes to 793.20 tonnes on Tuesday. In news from the physical markets, Indian gold imports and premiums are likely to surge during the rest of the year as buying picks up for the wedding and festival season, the head of the country's biggest gold refiner said.

We are delivering the fibre broadband rollout on behalf of the group and are playing our part in building Britain's connected future, helping businesses to grow and communities to prosper.
Openreach is responsible for providing services over the local loop (sometimes known as the local access network or the last mile). This is made up of the copper and fibre connections between our exchanges, and homes and businesses. We also offer backhaul products to connect exchanges to communication providers' networks.
BT's Undertakings commit us to selling our main products and services to all communication providers openly and equally and on the same terms as we do to BT's own lines of business.
To make this work properly, Openreach's operational, engineering and systems capabilities are separate from those of the rest of BT. Around 99.7% of Openreach revenue is subject to these Undertakings.
Our markets and customers
BT serves the wholesale telecoms customer segment in Great Britain through Openreach and BT Wholesale. In Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, BT serves wholesale customers through BT Ireland.
Openreach has around 540 CP customers, the largest of which are other BT lines of business (particularly BT Consumer and BT Business), Sky and TalkTalk. Openreach does not sell directly to end-customers.
Our products and services
- Fibre broadband
Our wholesale fibre broadband product is called Generic Ethernet Access (GEA). The FTTC variant of GEA uses copper for the final connection to the customer. It offers speeds of up to 80Mbps. The FTTP variant offers faster speeds of up to 330Mbps and uses fibre all the way to the customer premises.
In April 2013, we launched FTTP-on-Demand. This lets end-customers in FTTC areas get an FTTP connection if they need one. - Passive Infrastructure Access (PIA)
PIA products allow communications providers to rent space in Openreach's ducts or on telephone poles. Communication providers can use this space for their own fibre networks instead of buying fibre broadband services directly from us. - Wholesale Line Rental (WLR)
WLR is a copper-based service which lets communications providers offer own-branded phone services (with their own pricing and billing) using our equipment and network. They pay to use the copper lines between our exchanges and customer premises but can avoid investing in extra network equipment or infrastructure. - Ethernet
Our ethernet products offer business-grade, dedicated fibre connections. Communications providers use them in their own networks and to provide high quality, high bandwidth services to businesses and the public sector.

Glee star Diana Agron is super hipster-chic in her chunky mary jane heels and Bottega Veneta dress. But what was our favorite thing about Diana? Her bangs! Perfect cut and perfect length.
Watch the clip above to find out which A-list actress lost her way (in the dress department) this week at the London premiere of Les Misérables. As for her hair: We'll let you decide. Sound off in the Comments below.

Talon have counter play. He have a bad early game. He need to go all in and use his only escape ability to do damage(burst) (ult). He's an assasin, he should one combo anyone squishy, just like Zed. You can buy some armor early to counter him. If you can buy armor to counter Master Yi, Trynd, Zed, Kha, their ADC, or any AD and if you can buy magic resist to counter leblanc, kassadin, or any AP burst, why can't you do the same to negate Talon's damage? If he can't burst you down, you can kill him easy. We're talking about a champion who go All-in. If he miss, he's dead. We're not talking about Kha who can go all in, and jump away. Or even talking about master Yi who can go untargettable and have reset on his skill. A lot of AP-caster go Zhonya against Zed to counter his burst. I don't think it that hard to buy some armor or HP to counter Talon. If Riots is reworking Talon, they should rework kassadin. Lower Q range, lower his slow, add more sec on his ult CD. Kass have less counterplay than Talon.

Won't miss him. Talon's basically an inferior Lissandra in all ways. He wasn't good design when he came out, and then they made Lissandra who pulled off the diving AOE burst role a million times better than he ever could. They should just turn 'im into a Lissandra skin.
