SF Rec and Park: Trying Hard
SF Rec and Park's Park Score Increases to 90.6%
City Controller Issues Mid-Year Park Score Report
SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco Recreation and Park Department (RPD) announced today citywide, the average mid-year park score is 90.6 percent, an increase compared to both last year and all previous years. The results are based on 395 evaluations of 160 parks. The RPD team has noted that with newly renovated parks and recreational facilities, the team is able to conduct more efficient maintenance throughout the park system.
"The Recreation and Park Department is using scarce resources wisely and thoughtfully planning for the future of our parks," said Mayor Ed Lee. "Clean and safe parks help us stay healthier and support families in our City."
"With Mayor Lee's support, SF Rec and Park is able to build on the momentum for capital improvement and tackle the Department's more than $1 billion of deferred maintenance," said Phil Ginsburg, SF Rec and Park General Manager. "We are committed to make sure our parks are clean, safe and fun for all park users."
Park scores are based on performance standards that cover 14 park features such as lawns, trees, athletic fields, courts, children's play areas, and benches and tables. Generally, a score above 85 percent indicates that a park is well maintained and that its features are in good condition.
In November 2003, San Francisco voters passed Proposition C establishing the City Services Auditor (CSA) in the Controller's Office which mandates CSA and RPD to design and implement Proposition C's requirement for standards, evaluations, schedules, and reporting for City's park system.

Rose Page Mini Park
If you weren't paying attention, you could altogether miss the Rose Page Mini Park. This quiet, green space is situated between Rose and Page Street on one side, and Laguna and Buchanan Street on the other.
The park opened in 1972, but subsequently fell into a state of disrepair. Neighborhood residents, organized through the Hayes Valley Neighborhood Parks Group, restored the facilities and the park reopened in April 1999. A more detailed history of the Rose Page Mini Park is available at the San Francisco Neighborhood Parks Council.
The mini park features a community garden, flower beds, and a welcoming bench to enjoy the resplendent nature tucked away in this green retreat.
Community meeting with Police Chief – recap
We had a great discussion at the Community meeting last night (3/22/12)
with Police Chief: Greg Suhr and Captain of Northern Police Station: Ann Mannix.
Photo of Chief Suhr
A few tips we learned from our discussion last night:
-Chief Suhr has a strong belief in community policing in Hayes Valley, Western Addition and Lower Haight
-Crime is down. This is because everyone is working hard together – communities and police and non-profits. Best way to keep our area safe is to provide great activities for youth and to give them hope about their future.
-Work with police to connect with youth that need mentorships and internships. Youth need jobs and skills to get excited about their future in the workforce and in the community as adults.
-What to do when you observe crimes in city parks and public areas?
If you are observing a crime taking place – please call 911.
If you have observed an ongoing problem, please email or call Northern Police Station
(415) 614-3400

With the help and generous donation of more than $1.5 million from the Mercer Fund in honor of San Francisco Bay Area philanthropist Helen Diller, together with funding from the 2008 Parks Bond and the City's General Fund, major renovation of the Dolores Park Playground has been completed. The site now has several unique and exciting features, including: a central play mound that will have an ADA-accessible suspension bridge, built-in slide and climbing nets; custom-made ship wrecked boats; and a 36′ super slide built into the natural hillside behind the playground. And in honor and appreciation of Mrs. Diller's lifetime philanthropic work and community contributions, the playground is named the Helen Diller Playground.
Today, Helen Diller Playground is located in Mission Dolores Park, a 13.37-acre site in the Mission District and bounded by Dolores, Church, 18th and 19th Streets. During the community planning process for the 2008 Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond, strong community involvement through Friends of Dolores Park Playground and San Francisco Parks Alliance expressed support for a world-class playground for the children and families living in the Mission neighborhood.

About Us
This new ASK Q&A website started March 2011 after many of our team members observed that whenever we gave lectures, participated in debates, etc. on the topics of Creation, the Creator, Genesis the Bible and Science, or Evolution, the most profitable part often became the final Q&A session. Therefore, we have built a website to do just that, and our team have committed themselves to providing well researched answers. To see photos and brief biographical notes of those involved so far, click here.
Now you can submit your questions about Biblical Creation any time you like and to kick start the process we have answered some questions we have been asked in the past month. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Click HERE to send a question to a worldwide team whose expertise in their separate areas such as biology, geology, creation, evolution, theology or history etc. ensures you will get a great answer. The web site is coordinated by Creation Research and funded by donations to that organisation. Not all members of the team are part of Creation Research but they are happy to help with this answers website. Final responsibility for any answer rests with the author where signed or with Creation Research if unsigned. Questions received will be allocated for Answers by the website coordinator John Mackay.

From the podium
His Excellency Datuk Mohd Effendi Bin Norwawi (Minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives of Malaysia)
Thank you Madame Chairperson, Excellencies, Distinguished Delegates. Many of us have come a long way. We have set aside precious time to be here. This is only worthwhile if this Summit succeeds, which must be the hope of every delegate here. I was here last year, and this year I hear the same ring and tone of speeches. I hear the despair. Now, are we really going to do something about this? What puzzles me most is everybody who has spoken has said the very same thing - we want to eliminate hunger - we want to deal with this problem. So what is holding us back? Why are we not progressing as we should? Eight hundred million people are living in hunger every day. Twenty-four thousand people are dying every day, and we are here debating on semantics, words and phrasing. Now we need another two years to talk some more about this Declaration. How can we feel good about this? Words, more words, more promises, more Declarations is not what the eight hundred million people need. They want to see real action. It's up to us here and it's within our powers here, to make things happen. I cannot see how any nation can turn its back on this basic human rights issue. I cannot see why anyone would not give this FAO Food Security Programme the highest priority and support. So where is the problem? Is it about how we cannot mobilize the Fund needed? I don't think so. The figure of US$ 24 billion dollars quoted by FAO needed for this programme represents only 0.1 percent of the GDP of OECD countries. If OECD countries can subsidize US$ 300 billion a year for agriculture, is it unreasonable to suggest that some of these monies, instead be channelled to the eradication of hunger? How can this be? So is it then a question of political will and commitment? The remarks by all EU leaders have been very strong and vocal in support of the programme. Encouraging remarks by the Hon. United States Secretary of Agriculture yesterday irrevocably stated her nation's "deep and continuing commitment to the goals of the 1996 World Food Summit". So, where is the gap? We must identify this and somehow work it out. We respect the donor countries rightly want to impose conditions, but those conditions should not be unduly prohibitive and should only be related to ensuring that the Fund reach the intended target groups. Similarly, the onus is on the recipient countries to ensure that the Fund is used diligently, only for the designated purposes, and managed transparently and efficiently. Surely a satisfactory mechanism can be worked out, acceptable to both donor and recipient countries in the mobalization of the Fund. Also, the onus is on recipient countries to ensure they create a stable social and political environment conducive to the successful implementation of the programme. I'm not saying anything new. We knew all this, but why can't we do it? Let's find a way. Lets do it for the eight hundred million hungry people who are counting on us. For a start we can show a spirit by supporting the FAO Trust Fund initiative. If there are any misgivings about this Fund, let's thrash it out. Let's give the Partnership Training Programme a chance. Let's be more generous and open-hearted in our deliberations. Why can't we work harder to agree to a common course of action that will be satisfactory to both the donor and recipient countries? Why can't we trust each other more? Surely this cause deserves our highest and special attention where we set aside all our political, economic, religious and national differences for once, for this most basic of human rights. Let's do this purely for humanity. Here is a great opportunity for universal solidarity. Malaysia is a small country but we are ready to be called upon to contribute in any way within our means to make this programme a success. Let's give these eight hundred million people real hope this time. Lets all go home from this Summit feeling good that this time it's going to be the real thing. It's going to be more than just words. It's going to really happen. Then all of us can leave this Summit with a clear conscience, and five years later the speeches we hear in the hall will change from those of despair to those of hope and renewed optimism. Thank you.

2014 Chevy Cruz and 2013 VW Passat diesels to be showcased to politicians
The latest advancements in clean diesel technology - including two of the world's most fuel-efficient vehicles – will be highlighted at the 2013 National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) Legislative Summit in Atlanta this week by the Diesel Technology Forum.
The 39th annual NCSL summit will be attended by more than 5,000 legislators from all political parties, legislative staff, government officials, business representatives, foundation and think-tank representatives and others interested in public policy. The summit will be held from August 12-15 at the Georgia World Congress Center. Energy, transportation and environmental issues are some of the primary issues included in this year's summit agenda.
Attendees will learn the importance of clean diesel technology to individual communities, states and the entire nation at the Diesel Technology Forum (DTF) exhibit (#419) which will include state-specific fact sheets, multi-media presentations, charts of the Top 10 states for diesel passenger vehicle and heavy duty truck registrations, and discussions with representatives from DTF and the diesel industry.
Two highlights of the DTF exhibit include the newly introduced 2014 Chevy Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel car and the record-setting 2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI clean diesel.
In June, the 2013 Volkswagen Passat TDI set a new Guinness World Records achievement for the lowest fuel consumption in the 48 contiguous U.S. states for a non-hybrid car category by averaging a remarkable 77.99 miles per gallon during a 14-day trip that covered 8,122 miles. The Volkswagen Passat TDI mileage mark also shattered the hybrid vehicle U.S. record of 64.6 miles per gallon by more than 13 mpg.
In addition, DTF will showcase the new 2104 Chevy Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel that averages 46 mpg on the highway, which is the best fuel economy of any gasoline or diesel car in America. The 2014 Cruze has received overwhelming positive reviews and is equipped with modern clean diesel technology that helps reduce emissions without sacrificing power.
"These clean diesel vehicles are excellent representatives of the latest diesel technology being offered in the U.S.," said Allen Schaeffer, the executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum. "High mileage, fuel efficiency and low emissions are the trademark of new clean diesel vehicles are we are certain these will impress the legislators, staff members and other government officials attending the summit.
"Diesel technology has made tremendous advancements in recent years as manufacturers have invested billions of dollars in new research and development. The NCSL summit provides us an excellent opportunity to showcase the latest in clean diesel technology to policy makers from all 50 states."
"The Forum will highlight the importance of diesel technology in meeting each state's and the federal government's climate and clean air goals," Schaeffer said. "These efficiency and environmental goals will be made possible by the inherent and proven energy efficiency of diesel, the transformation to clean diesel fuel and engine technology, and the significant penetration of diesel in key sectors of each state's and our national economy.
"It's also important that legislators be informed that major U.S. and international energy studies are projecting that diesel will continue to be the dominant fuel source for transportation for the next several decades."

The Problems With Craig Adams
Craig Adams has always been the type of player who, despite limited skills, found a way to contribute to his team. But as he has aged, those contributions have dwindled. This year, by most measures, he is now hurting the team. Here are three reasons why.
One, he stinks. He was never good. But at least he was good at what he did. He could never play hockey well, but he could at least be counted on to be good in his own end and on the penalty kill. He was never fast, but his smarts allowed him to be in the right spot most of the time.
But now? He's really not good at anything anymore. He has lost a step off his formerly glacial skating pace. When he's on the ice, the pens have virtually zero chance of scoring a goal. They average 0.97 goals per 60 minutes at even strength when he's out there, by far the worst among the players who have played more than 30 games. That means they would average less than a goal a game if guys like him played all 60 minutes.
Oh, what's that you say? He makes up for it by being sound defensively? I guess it depends on your definition of "sound.†He ranks in the middle of the pack at 2.49. Brandon Sutter, the epitome of a smart defensive player leads the way at 1.64.
So, if you take the difference between the two, Adams ranks at the very bottom at -1.52. He's one of only three minus players among regular forwards. Tanner Glass, another worthless hockey player, is at -1.03. Apparently, those two just feed off each other. Jussi Jokinen completes the list at -0.11. For comparison, Chris Kunitz is far and away the leader at +1.91.
Some would argue that he has value as a penalty killer. They might have a small point. Looking at the same differential as above, he ranks second among the four main penalty killers (Pascal Dupuis, Glass, and Sutter being the others). Sutter is far and away the best, while Dupuis and Glass are far worse. The numbers say he's a mediocre penalty killer. The one weakness the Pens' PK has had this year is the inability to score shorthanded goals. Theey've scored only two, and one of those was into an empty net. The lack speed among the penalty killers (Adams and Glass in particular) is a major reason for this. Is that nitpicking? Sure, maybe a little. But it does demonstrate Adams's lack of speed.
The other two problems with Craig Adams are not really his, but Dan Bylsma's. The first is his usage. Despite the above evidence, Bylsma continues to throw him out there against tough competition. Oops, not so fast. I had assumed that was the case. However, his Corsi Quality of Competition Ranks seventh among the nine "regular†forwards. So contrary to popular belief, he is not playing difficult minutes. Bylsma is off the hook on this one.
It's on defensive zone start percentage where we see blame for Bylsma creep in. Adams starts more shifts in the defensive zone than any other forward at 58.7 percent. So Bylsma continues to trust him despite what the numbers and the eye test would tell us. This is inexplicable.
Adams's third problem can also be traced back to Bylsma. He has spent more time on the ice with Tanner Glass than with any other player. As stated earlier, these two seem to feed off each other. They are basically twins. They are slow. They can't score. They can't pass. They will fight a little. In short, they suck at hockey. But, hey, they're good teammates, right? They'll do anything they can to win a hockey game. Unfortunately, they can't do anything very well. And when you pair them together, it's just disaster waiting to happen. As we look toward the playoffs, it's doubtful the Pens can survive with this configuration. You might be able to get by with one guy like this in the lineup. But two? Highly doubtful.
The bottom line is that Craig Adams is simply not very good at hockey. He never was, really. But Father Time has stolen what little ability he did have. He was a great a needed acquisition back in 2009. he helped them win a Cup. But loyalty will only get you so far. It's time to cut ties with him, thank him for his great service, and get younger and faster on the fourth line. For Adams, it's time to get on with his life's work.

My first encounter with Terry Riley's music was through a recording called A Rainbow in a Curved Air in 1969 (I was still in college in Paris studying economics and doing a rock band). It is a layered electronic keyboard piece where he plays all the tracks. But the unique and groundbreaking composition style based on a repetition that organically develops, in a similar fashion as a raga develops from a basic pattern into a complex improvisation inspired me immediately. The striking element of Terry Riley's minimalism is that his repetition is a stasis that evolves over time, it is dynamic, and in this quality it differs from other minimalist approaches. In C shows how this stylistic premise is applied to a chamber orchestra, and the piece is probably his most popular piece (there is even a microtonal version). I was there too for the premiere of his string quartet at Town Hall, another groundbreaking event that launched the Kronos Quartet.
So when I heard about the electric violin concerto… I loved the idea of the electric instrument and the orchestra, and even though the piece was not anything like I would have expected, it was a lot of fun.
Electric violinist Tracy Silverman plays a six-string electric violin enhanced with effect pedals which he uses like a rock guitarist. His violin sound is gorgeous and allows for a wider range of expression and power than an acoustic violin, and he was an exciting interpreter for the new work, with moments of deep emotion – especially in the part where he plays against the woodwinds. Formerly a member of the famed Turtle Island String Quartet, Tracy Silverman is a crossover musician who is well-versed classical, rock and ethnic styles, for whom John Adams also wrote an electric violin concerto.
The concerto itself, called The Palmian Chord Ryddle, (the Palmian chord = D-E-F-F#-G#-A-B-C cluster) was to me kind of reassuring. One wouldn't expect Riley to compose minimalist music at this point, or anything that sounded like In C – and the musical style was somewhat undefinable, which is exactly where many of us are at. First I'll say what it isn't: it isn't atonal, it isn't repetitive, it isn't traditional, it isn't caught up in itself, it isn't pretentious. Themes emerge and evolve in unexpected ways. It is basically style-free, multiple, beyond crossover, as if all the former 'styles' have become part of the new global vocabulary of music. As Riley described in his notes: "a very spontaneous work full of the things that I find colorful, dynamic, beautiful, challenging, humorous, loving, friendly, joyous, stark, and universal".
The Nashville Symphony commissioned this piece, and brought a very large orchestra that just about filled every inch of the Carnegie Hall stage, conducted by Giancarlo Guerrero, in a boisterous atmosphere, cheered on by what looked like about a hundred people who came from Nashville to see this performance and were waving green scarves.
Note: Terry Riley and his son guitarist Gyan Riley will be at the Poisson Rouge (158 Bleecker St) tonight from 7pm…


text: 'Ghostbusters' live-read grabs Seth Rogen, Jack Black, and Rainn WilsonBy Anthony Breznican, EWUpdated 10:11 AM ET, Thu December 13, 2012Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd, starred in the film "Ghostbusters."Story highlightsSeth Rogen, Jack Black, and Rainn Wilson will do a live read of "Ghostbusters" "Juno" and "Up in the Air" filmmaker Jason Reitman organized the eventReitman's father, Ivan, directed the original filmThere's no replacing Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis as the original "Ghostbusters," but if you were staging a one-night-only live version of the classic comedy, well ... whom might one contact?Seth Rogen, Jack Black, and Rainn Wilson are going to cross the streams.The event is one of the monthly live-reads of a famous movie script organized by "Juno" and "Up in the Air" filmmaker Jason Reitman, who — of course — has a family connection to this story. His father, Ivan Reitman, directed "Ghostbusters" and he remembers hanging around on the set as a little kid.But even he was surprised when he went back and looked at the original script of the movie for Thursday night's reading at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.COLLECT ALL 4 HOBBIT COVERS: When you subscribe to EW!It turns out, Murray was making it all up as he went along."While almost all of the dialogue in original screenplay is echoed on screen, the Venkman character is completely improvised. It's as if Bill Murray was given a mumblecore-style essay about each scene and then permitted to say whatever he wanted as long as he got the point across," Reitman tells EW."He slimed me" is in the script, but not the follow-up line: "I feel so funky."And remember Venkman's magician act?It's not in the script."He's like a jazz musician who knows, 'I have eight measures here and have to hit this note here and as long as I follow those rules everything else is up to me,'" Reitman says.Did that drive his father crazy? Reitman laughs and says: "This was his third movie with Bill. They'd made Meatballs, and done Stripes together. He was already familiar with those improvisation skills."In creating the script for the Film Independent live-read this week, Reitman's father got him the original script, as well as a transcription of the finished movie. He found himself adding many of the improvisations to the page, while still trying to preserve some of the original lines, which have never been heard before."Every important Venkman line is back in there, and there are about 30 of those," Reitman says. "You can't have Ghostbusters without 'We came, we saw, we kicked its ass.'"It's not just the memorable one-liners that Murray added. "It's the strange nuances," Reitman notes. "For example, Venkman goes to meet [Sigourney Weaver's] Dana at Lincoln Center and she's talking to a man. As he walks away, Venkman goes, 'I'm sorry you and I didn't get more of a chance to chat!' He expresses vulnerability and ego in a way that is kind of impossible to write."That leads us to Reitman's choices on the live event's casting:Seth Rogen as Peter Venkman"It's the most crucial and tricky piece of casting. I knew we needed an actor whose rhythms were equally unique to Bill Murray's and had that kind of a swagger."Jack Black as Ray Stantz"When you think about Dan Aykroyd as Ray Stantz, you think about this positive enthusiasm and energy. No one has that like Jack Black."Rainn Wilson as Egon Spengler"As originated by Harold Ramis, this part needs someone with an earnest, scientific mind and clear-cut decisive humor."The role of Winston Zeddmore, originated by Ernie Hudson, will be played by comedian and voice actor Phil LaMarr, best known for the role of Marvin in "Pulp Fiction." (Yeah, poor, shot-in-the-face Marvin.)Weaver's role of Dana Barrett, a.k.a. The Gatekeeper will be played by Kristen Bell, while Kevin Pollak will play both the mayor of New York City and the fussy EPA idiot Walter "This man has no d—k" Peck. "Larry King and Casey Kasem both lent their voices to the original film, and Kevin does great impressions of both of them," Reitman adds.Mae Whitman of Parenthood will take over the role of the "Ghostbusters'" receptionist Janine Melnitz, originated by Annie Potts, while Paul Rust (Inglourious Basterds, I Love You Beth Cooper) will perform the Rick Moranis part of Louis "The Keymaster" Tully. Paul Scheer will fill out the rest of the cast with such roles as the guy taking the psychic test at the beginning of the film -- and being mercilessly electrocuted by Venkman.Reitman has previously staged Film Independent LACMA live-reads of "The Apartment," "The Princess Bride," "The Big Lebowski" and "The Breakfast Club," but this is the first time he has done one of his father's films."It was a part of my life growing up. I just thought it would be fun," the younger Reitman says. "I have one of the original Ghostbuster guns in my house. That is the one thing they want to see, and want to take a photo with. I understand the energy around that film. To me it's similar to The Princess Bride live-read we did last year. People have a relationship with the film that goes beyond normal movies."The live-reads always sell out long before the film is even announced, but there is usually a wait-list outside and some people get lucky. For information about attending the event, check out LACMA's website.See original story at EW.com.

Cleaning & Maintenance Answers
Cuisinart states that its okay to use a 1/3 vinegar 2/3 water mixture to clean your Brew Central, but you can also use a product like Urnex Cleancaf. Cleancaf is less abrasive than vinegar and is also odorless. To learn more about Urnex Cleancaf, follow the link below.
- Cleancaf by Urnex
The gold-tone filter sits in a plastic filter holder, which is removable from the machine. There is a plastic loop toward the front of the machine - slip your finger through and gently pull up - the filter holder should lift right out. Then you can rinse this component at the sink. Just be sure to dry it thoroughly before returning it to its spot inside the machine.
The Cuisinart Brew Central has a cleaning indicator light that will come on when the unit needs to be descaled. To do this, Fill the reservoir with 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water, press the self clean button, and flip the brewing switch into the on position. When the cleaning cycle is completed, the machine will beep five times and shut off. Turn the coffee maker back on, and if the self cleaning light is still blinking, turn the machine off and repeat the cleaning process with fresh solution. When the light no longer flashes, run another brew cycle using only water to flush the unit before you brew again. Besides this procedure, the only other thing you will need to do is wash and rinse the carafe with warm, soapy water on a regular basis.
When the Brew Central needs to be cleaned (descaled), the light next to the Self-cleaning button will begin to blink. When youre ready to run the cleaning cycle, you fill the reservoir with the vinegar/water solution Cuisinart recommends and press the Self-cleaning button. Then the machine will run its own programmed cleaning cycle without you having to do anything. For detailed instructions on cleaning, please reference your user manual.

I am a true fan of BB, but this product was the first to let me down. LipBALM?! More lipSTICK quality here. I didn't like the minty sensation since it didn't improve the quality of the balm. A balm should be applied and make your lips softer for a long time. This product though, since there is too much pigmentation, you have to reapply often, otherwise you look a little funny. I won't buy this again.
This was awful! I'm surprised how much others seem to like this. I didn't find it moisturizing at all, or with the least bit of "shimmer." The color was OK, but that's about it. I was looking for something like the beeswax Burt's lip balm, but with a hint of color. This has a completely different texture, thin and almost gritty, and dries up on my lips in seconds.
This is a very rich burgundy color. It's really pretty. I wore this for my wedding because I didn't want to be touching up lipstick. This was a great alternative. I don't love this with my skin tone in the winter when I am pale, but it works much better in the summer time when I have a tiny bit of tan. The smell is great and I love the minty tingle. It has great lasting power for a lip balm.
I absolutly love this lipbalm-I have found my HG balm! I suffer with dry lips and i ahve to wear lipbalm always, even before lipstick which really bugs because i find it affects how the colour applies, so i am really glad to find a balm with enough moisture for my lips and a really good colour. This is becoming my staple and i think i will try the watermelon colour next.
With this lip balm I loveeee how it feels. It make ur lips really nice and soft & the tingly feeling is cool. For me its the color that kills it. Im not a big fan of chapstick with coloring but I bought this just to try it out. If only the beeswax felt as good as this.
I am a big fan of BB lip shimmers, and bought a few other shades before trying Rhubarb. However, this color was just a little too bright for my skin tone. It's a pretty mid-reddish pink (the name Rhubarb is appropriate for this color). I ended up losing mine but didn't mind that much :) I went back and got Watermelon, a lighter, cooler toned pink which works better on me. Rhubarb would look great on medium to darker skin tones.
one of my favorite lip products! it's such a pretty medium pink, that appears almost natural on my golden light skin. love the scent (peppermint), the texture, how well it moisturizes and just about everything about it.
Love this! I actually use it on my lips and cheeks with no ill-effects whatsoever. (i.e. The mint doesn't irritate and the formula doesn't break me out.) It's such a pretty peachy pink color and I love the formulations of the lip shimmers. I do admit that when my lips are a little dry, the mint does tingle and irritate a little but it's not enough or that often for me to stop using this. And it gives my cheeks such a nice glow! I have rhubarb, nutmeg and raisin and I love to mix and match those three in various ways for the prettiest color combinations. Raisin's a little too dark for me on its own but combined with rhubarb, it makes the prettiest deep rose. And nutmeg combined with rhurbarb makes a pretty shimmery coral color that's not too bright or too shimmery. I even mix all three together sometimes. And the price can't be beat!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was really excited when I bought this! I had bought a nice tinted lip balm in Europe that I couldn't find in N.A. and I hoped this would be a good substitute. Also, I love tingly mint on my lips!
Alack...the colour is really much too heavy for this to be considered a lip balm. The rhubarb colour is great and makes a nice light lipstick. In fact, I may have repurchased this for that purpose if not for the painfully strong mint. It really did burn and masked any "balm" quality that may otherwise have been there.
Also, this was probably just bad luck, but the packaging of the one I bought was a little out of whack, so that I couldn't retact the lip balm back into the tube by turning the thing on the bottom; rather, I had to push it back in!
AMAZING product!!! This adds just the right amount of colour to wake up the face, but still look natural. I like to use this in the winter, when I tend to be a little more pale, and need the colour boost in my face. Plus, it's moisterizing, so it's great in the dry winter months. I use this under a sheer lip gloss and it helps stays on longer. Great price, great packaging, nice scent and feel on the lips, and perfect sheer colour!! This is a winter staple.

Hacked Gmail Accounts: What To Do If Your Gmail Account Is Compromised By Hackers
Apparently, Matt flew to Nigeria the night before to attend the Tinapa Opening Ceremony. {???} He ended up staying at a hotel, which was attacked by armed robbers. {OK...} They took all of his money and his wallet. {???} His email explained that he needed money badly, to the tune of $1500 so he could settle his hotel bill. {LOL} He seemed very scared and he emphasized that he needed the money sent as soon as possible. As you can imagine, I was genuinely concerned for Matt... {sarcasm}
Yes, Matt's gmail account had been hacked and I'm sure many people received the same email I did. Here was the original email:
---------- Forwarded message ----------
Subject: *****URGENT REPLY NEEDED *********
Hello I am in a hurry writing this message, I had a trip to West Africa *NIGERIA* on visiting the TINAPA OPENING CEREMONY, Unfortunately for me all my money got stolen at the hotel where i lodged from the attack of some armed robbers.Right now,I'm without money and I'm even owing the hotel here, the hotel telephone service is disconnected,i have only access to emails,my mobile phone can't work here so i didn't bring it along, please can you lend me $1500 so i can return back and settle the hotel bills i would return it back to you as soon as i get home, I am so confused right now.You can have it sent through western union money transfer. My passport is with the Embassy here so i cant use my name to collect it now, But you can have it sent directly to a western union Manager here and i would get it through him as he helps the people here in the hotel to receive the money, I have already spoken to him, please let me hear from you so i can collect his full name and address where you can send the money tomorrow please,or if possible today. I am waiting for your reply.
Thank you. I look forward to your positive response.
OK, this was absolutely ridiculous, but being the good friend I am, I still wanted to reach out to Matt as soon as possible to let him know what was going on. I was pretty confident he didn't know yet. Now, I didn't know if his actual account was taken over. I simply thought that someone was blasting out emails using his address as the sender. There's a difference between the two. So, I created a new email (which was sent to his gmail account) informing him that his email address had been compromised. Unfortunately, that was the only email address I had for Matt...
It was a brief email that looked like this:
Hi Matt.
I just received a spam email from your gmail acct. Not sure if it's
widespread or not, but wanted to let you know.
It was one of those Nigerian schemes.
Let me know if you have any questions.
It was only a few minutes when I received an email back from Matt. My guess was that he wanted to quickly thank me for notifying him of the scam. I opened the email and was shocked to see that the original email from Matt wasn't a joke! Matt was in fact in Nigeria at a hotel and needed money. {sarcasm yet again}
You see, "Matt" actually responded to my email!
Holy smokes, the scammers who hacked Matt's gmail were answering emails right from his account! I'll admit it, that creeped me out. Read their response to my email below:
---------- Forwarded message ----------
Subject: Re: Email Spam
To: Glenn Gabe
Its not a scam mail, i am really there now. i need you to help me with $1500, i shall pay you as soon as a i return. i hope to read from you asap. below is the info where the money will be sent to....
So, I direct messaged Matt via Twitter notifying him of the hack, this time using only 140 characters or less. :) Before long, I received a DM back from Matt that he was handling the situation. He thanked me, and got back to fixing the problem. So, after Matt recovered his gmail account (and after he got pummeled by jokes on Twitter), I asked him about the steps he took to recover his gmail account.
After this happened to Matt, I asked myself if I would know what to do... I really didn't. I'm sure I would eventually figure it out, but I didn't know the exact steps. So with Matt's assistance, I decided to write this post to document the steps you should take to recover your gmail account after it has been compromised.
So in Matt's own words, here's how to handle the situation:
The process was pretty simple.
First, from the Gmail login page, select "I can not access my account".
Second, select the radio button "My account has been compromised". This will show a new prompt below "Please fill out our account recovery form to help us process your request as quickly as possible". Follow that link.
From the Account Recovery page, select "I believe someone has taken over my account" and fill out as much information as possible.
In my case, Google had contacted me pretty quickly via my alternate email with instructions to reset my password. {Glenn: Make sure your alternate email is active. You can check this from your Google account settings. You can also add additional email addresses just in case.}
Some other useful notes from Matt:
I'm not sure how someone hacked my gmail account. I did make a mistake by using the same password on way too many things. My main passwords are now individually unique. Passwords I set up for vendor accounts are no longer the same as I would use for other more sensitive services, like online banking.
Matt's Tips to Protect to Your Logins:
1. Avoid unsecured networks
2. Don't use the same password everywhere.
3. Don't duplicate your email password with any login elsewhere (if you do, someone can use your email to login to your other accounts).
4. Change passwords periodically.
5. Don't share your passwords with anyone. Even if they're not going to abuse it, they may not store it properly.
6. Know where you enter passwords. 3rd party Twitter apps that require passwords are a perfect example of sites that people will enter their password without much familiarity aside from a tweet referral.
So there you have it. If you wake up one morning and everyone is asking how and why you checked into a Nigerian Hotel, forgot your wallet, ran up a $1500 bill, and now need money, you'll know how to handle it. :) And definitely feel free to connect with Matt on Twitter. It's ok to joke around with him about the situation. He's a nice guy and has handled the jokes with grace. But don't go too far, he can bench press 375 pounds and used to be a minor league hockey player. ;-)

- Allergy and Asthma Network Mothers of Asthmatics - http://www.aanma.org -
On January 7, 2009 @ 11:18 am In All Articles
Looking for a childcare provider who understands the special needs of little ones with allergies and asthma?
Whether you need childcare services for an hour or by the week, with patience and a strategic plan, you can find quality childcare services.
Allergies and asthma are serious, potentially life-threatening conditions. Chronic ear infections can impact your baby's language development and learning skills. Eczema, hives, rashes, coughing, excess mucus… these and related conditions and symptoms present special challenges in the childcare setting.
While every childcare provider should be certified to perform CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) in the event your child's heart stops beating, there is no certification program for childcare providers to know YOUR child's special health needs.
That's because asthma and allergies wear a thousand different changing faces. It's like living at the base of a smoldering volcano; you don't know when the next eruption will send you running for help.
So what can you do as parents and childcare providers?
Start by identifying the health needs of the child during the hours he is away from home. Create a strategy that allows your child room to explore his boundaries without risking his health.
Provide a smoke- and pet-free environment and reduce or eliminate exposures to known food allergens preventively.
Parents and childcare providers must coordinate the child's needs as a team. It takes extra effort, time, and attention for all parties to ensure the baby's health needs are met while parents are at work.
Moms and dads need to organize medications as well as diapers, bottles, and food. If the nebulizer travels to and from the childcare center and home, both parents have to remember to put it in the car!
Childcare providers may need to remind parents to refill medications or replace nebulizer supplies periodically. They'll need to remember to tell mom or dad any early warning signs they may have noticed during the day – almost in the same manner as remembering to tell the parents that their baby is learning to share or speak a second language!

Those schools that are neither approved by Indiana or California (and not on the disapproved list) are reviewed on a case by case basis. The Board uses IMED FAIMER and ECFMG as tools to determine whether those schools are LCME equivalent. On May 22, 2008 the Board recognized the California Medical School Standards as equivalent to LCME standards as required for approved foreign medical schools in Indiana.
Because the California standards meet LCME equivalency the Board then adopted the California Medical Board's Recognized and Disapproved lists for use when processing applications. Below you will find a link to both the California Recognized list and Disapproved List.

Today's library user takes electronic catalogs for granted. Being able to remotely search the contents of a library is not only convenient, but it also allows for a tighter integration between the lending practices—you can see if a book is loaned out.
During a period of several decades, a number of service firms made very profitable business out of the digitization of the paper-based library catalogs used by public, educational, and private libraries. Old fashioned card catalogs were a form of analog database, with each card constituting a single record.
The structured data: title, author, publication date, subject, LOC number, etc, could easily make the transition from paper form to electronic database. However, many librarians had added unstructured data to many of the cards in their catalog, including information on the quality and status of the book, and other comments that would be useful to either the maintenance of or reference to the book. These annotations represented a rich set of stored knowledge that were largely lost during the brute force digitization process.
Annotations are a form of metadata that, because of their informality, are typically not recognized as having organizational value. Life goes on, and the loss of a several generation's worth of neatly scribbled notations around the edges of well-rounded index cards are hardly the biggest problem confronting today's library.
Are we likewise putting organizational knowledge at risk by not providing our users with a robust and portable annotation mechanism to support their use of digital documents? This has obviously not been an unsustainable problem. Its debatable just how much electronic marking up has taken place on workstations and laptops, but the ubiquity of tablets, which are clearly much more convenient for the reading—and annotation—of longer documents and books, likely means that the sum total of digital annotations is growing at an accelerating rate.
What's the value to the enterprise of the stored knowledge represented by digital document annotations?
Should the CIO be looking for ways to facilitate the creation and exploitation of this form of stored knowledge?
Does it represent a form of metadata that is worth managing and protecting to ensure that it is available as long as it is useful?

Credit Card Technology: 2013 And Beyond
Since the prediction about the Mayan calendar fizzled, let's take a look at some predictions we laid out in an article last year titled
Credit card technology: 2012 and beyond. Our forecasts (pinched, as always, from expert specialists) for how credit card use might evolve hopefully proved to be a bit more on target.
Credit cards transforming before our eyes
And we -- or, rather, those experts -- didn't do too badly. All the technologies we explored remain on track to make it big:
- The four big payment networks have each published a road map for rolling out across the United States EMV, the chip-and-PIN and chip-and-signature technology.
- Offers from your credit card companies sent directly to your smartphone and based on your precise geographical location (a particular aisle in Walmart, say) edge ever closer.
- Mobile wallets and other ways to pay from your credit card account using your smartphone, tablet or similar device are already beginning to take off.
Mobile payments
The extent to which those mobile payment opportunities are exploding became clear recently, when three innovations, each from a different company, were announced within three working days:
- On Dec. 3, US Airways said it had become the first airline in the world to accept payments for in-flight purchases using MasterCard's PayPass technology. This allows you to pay using credit cards, smartphones and tablets that have near-field communications (NFC) technology, and have been registered with this MasterCard service.
- The same day, USA Technologies and Isis unveiled plans to enable some 7,500 vending machines in and around Austin and Salt Lake City to accept payments using NFC-compliant cards and devices.
- On Dec. 5, NCR launched NCR Mobile Pay. This should allow diners in restaurants that adopt the technology not only to pay their bill using their smartphone or tablet, but also to browse the menu, re-order dishes, request a receipt via email, provide feedback and summon their server to their table -- all online.
Prepare to be wooed
By now, you're probably telling yourself how little all this matters to you, and that you don't see yourself as someone who would ever want or need mobile payment services. After all, you can already pay using your credit card on US Airways flights, and waving your hand to attract a server's attention seems to work pretty well. Come to think of it, if you're in the sort of restaurant where hand signals fail, how likely is it that staff are going to respond more quickly to being summoned from cyberspace?

Just what I need, a 10,000 pixel webcam!
Let's see, 100X100 pixels. We should be able to blow that up to ..... 1/4" X 1/4" and still have pretty decent resolution.
Well, this is cheap that's for sure. Reviews on amazon are not positive but for $5 it might be a fun purchase.
I got one of these in a Bandit Overrun City and it sure lived up to it's name. 80 photos at 100x100 pixels or 10 seconds of video. No memory card slot. Not worth getting for free since you have to spend the time throwing it away and taking out the trash. Only positive thing about it is the free USB cable and one AAA battery.
I got this in a Barack Obama Charity this past spring, and I can't imagine getting one any other way. I'll just leave it at that.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Doublethink, a word coined by George Orwell in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, describes the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in distinct social contexts.[1] It is related to, but distinct from, hypocrisy and neutrality. Its opposite is cognitive dissonance, where the two beliefs cause conflict in one's mind. Doublethink is an integral concept of George Orwell's dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. The word doublethink is part of Newspeak.
Contents |
This section needs additional citations for verification. (December 2010) |
According to the novel, doublethink is:
" | To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget, whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself – that was the ultimate subtlety; consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.[2] | " |
" | The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them... To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just as long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies – all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.[2] | " |
Orwell explains that the Party could not protect its iron power without degrading its people with constant propaganda. Yet knowledge of this brutal deception, even within the Inner Party itself, could lead to the implosion of the State. Although Nineteen Eighty-Four is most famous for the Party's pervasive surveillance of everyday life, this control means that the population of Oceania – all of it and including the ruling elite – could be controlled and manipulated merely through the alteration of everyday thought and language. Newspeak is the method for controlling thought through language; doublethink is the method of directly controlling thought.
Earlier in the book, doublethink is explained as being able to control your memories, to be able to manually forget something, then to forget about forgetting. This is demonstrated by O'Brien, during the time when Winston Smith is being tortured toward the end of the book.
Newspeak incorporates doublethink, as it contains many words that create assumed associations between contradictory meanings, especially true of fundamentally important words such as good and evil, right and wrong, truth and falsehood, and justice and injustice.
In the case of workers at the Records Department in the Ministry of Truth, doublethink means being able to falsify public records, and then believe in the new history that they themselves have just rewritten. As revealed in Goldstein's Book, the Ministry's name is itself an example of doublethink: the Ministry of Truth is really concerned with lies. The other ministries of Airstrip One are similarly named: the Ministry of Peace is concerned with war, the Ministry of Love is concerned with torture, and the Ministry of Plenty is concerned with starvation. The three slogans of the Party – War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength – are also examples.[1]
Moreover, doublethink's self-deception allows the Party to maintain huge goals and realistic expectations:
Thus each Party member could be a credulous pawn but would never lack relevant information, the Party being both fanatical and well informed and thus unlikely either to "ossify" or "grow soft" and collapse. Doublethink would avoid a "killing the messenger" attitude that could disturb the Command structure. Thus doublethink is the key tool of self-discipline for the Party, complementing the state-imposed discipline of propaganda and the police state. These tools together hide the government's evil not just from the people but from the government itself – but without the confusion and misinformation associated with primitive totalitarian regimes.
Doublethink is critical in allowing the Party to know what its true goals are without recoiling from them, avoiding the conflation of a regime's egalitarian propaganda with its true purpose.[citation needed]
Paradoxically, during the long and harrowing process in which the protagonist Winston Smith is systematically tortured and broken, he contemplates using doublethink as the ultimate recourse in his rebellion – to let himself become consciously a loyal party member while letting his hatred of the party remain an unconscious presence deep in his mind and let it surface again at the very moment of his execution so that "the bullet would enter a free mind" which the Thought Police would not have a chance to tamper with again.
Since 1949 (when Nineteen Eighty-Four was published) the word doublethink has become synonymous with relieving cognitive dissonance by ignoring the contradiction between two world views – or even of deliberately seeking to relieve cognitive dissonance. Some schools of psychotherapy such as cognitive therapy encourage people to alter their own thoughts as a way of treating different psychological maladies (see cognitive distortions).
Orwell's "doublethink" is also credited with having inspired the commonly used "Doublespeak" which itself does not appear in the book. Comparisons have been made between Doublespeak and Orwell's descriptions on political speech from his essays Politics and the English Language in which "unscrupulous politicians, advertisers, religionists, and other doublespeakers of whatever stripe continue to abuse language for manipulative purposes".[3]
