Losing my temper: Utah's Young Mother of the Year confesses all
As I lay in bed that night, exhausted, one thought kept returning to my mind. The moment of decision. Because I can recall, even now, just a moment before when I had control — but I gave in to anger, threw the corn and created all kinds of work (and mortification) for myself.
Seven years later, when we sold the house, we were still finding bits of corn adhered to a drawer handle or corner of the cupboard.
I knew I had a problem. But I cried and justified and muddled through until school started in August and I went in the first week for an introductory meeting with my oldest child's second-grade teacher. The kids had filled out a little "get to know me" page with their favorite foods, movies, books and questions such as "What makes you happy?" and "What makes you sad?"
Under the question "What scares you?" Ben had scribbled, "When my mom yells."
That night I knelt beside my bed, pulled that crumpled paper out of my pocket and begged God for help. I wanted to be kinder, calmer and less scary. At the moment of decision, I wanted to make the right choice, not the angry one. I was deeply shamed.
Change takes time. I broke my resolve more times than I can count. But I kept praying, practicing calmness and kindness. And I changed.
My two youngest children will tell you I never yell. Not even when the water bottle spills across the kitchen counter — and ruins my laptop — or when my daughter and friends pull all the petals off the rose bushes for a fairy dance.
Oh, they're wrong. I still yell here and there, especially at cars speeding down our street, but not often enough to remember or loud enough to scare them. I now consider myself extraordinarily patient; it takes a whole lot to ruffle my feathers.
Please understand: I share this not to brag but to encourage. We can change. We can turn our weaknesses into strengths. We are not victims of our DNA or personality type. I often hear people say things like, "She never said an unkind word in her life," or "She never complained," or "He always had a positive attitude." If I'm feeling grumpy, I think, "Well, I've already blown that." I need to hear stories about people who struggled, yet improved.
Maybe, for someone out there, it will be more encouraging to hear, "She was a stressed-out, angry yelling mom but she changed and got better and much happier." Because we are made for happiness.
As for Ben — what scares him now? Spiders. Big, fat spiders.
He'll have to get over that on his own.

Why No One Wants This Alibaba IPO More Than Yahoo!
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Alibaba, the best-known face of China's Internet, is ready to pounce on U.S. investors in what could be the biggest Chinese initial public offering ever.
After months of speculation, the Chinese online e-commerce giant finally revealed the IPO is coming to a U.S. stock exchange. Alot of the excitement comes from Alibaba being a huge and profitable company, with a charismatic leader and no direct competitor.
Perhaps no company is more ready for that IPO than Yahoo! (YHOO - Get Report), which owns a 24% stake in Alibaba. In the coming weeks, Yahoo!'s shares could outperform its peers in anticipation of the IPO. What happens after the IPO is another matter because Yahoo! has to sell a significant portion of that stake. Over the past 52 weeks Yahoo!'s shares are up 67% but for the year to date they are down nearly 6%. Shares recently traded around $38.
Alibaba controls nearly 80% of China's e-commerce market, which makes it one of the biggest Internet companies of the world. It has essentially worked as a middleman between buyers and sellers.
Although Alibaba is known for its business-to-business services, the company also owns dozens of other properties including email services, social media services and Alipay, which is akin to PayPal. It doesn't have any direct competitor in the U.S. because its business is essentially a blend of Amazon (AMZN), eBay (EBAY) PayPal and Google (GOOG). Alibaba on Thursday invested $251 million for a minority stake in the messaging app called Tango. To get an idea of how big Alibaba actually is, consider its two shopping Web sites, Taobao and Tmall. These two alone accounted for more 50% of all parcel deliveries in China. Last year, the two Web sites reported transaction volume of more than $160 billion, which is above and beyond what eBay or the retail behemoth Amazon have ever witnessed. In the previous quarter, Alibaba revenue climbed 51% to $1.78 billion from the same quarter a year earlier while net profits came in at $792 million. The company operated with a healthy profit margin of 44.6%. In short, Alibaba, unlike Amazon, is extremely profitable.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Nothing else really matters right? Because it all stems from this. You have Acc and Defense that ONLY mean something when they are compared to one another. You have these modifiers that are baked into the hull, so that when we try to add hull health to compensate for crappy movement and defense....we get....even CRAPPIER movement and defense.
Granted OP you would think that sure isn't it possible they put BIGGER engines on bigger ships but no. And many of those other things you mentioned. But you didn't even need to bother. When def/acc/crit gets resolved, most of the other stuff will go away.

Do you have to take them together or can you take just unisom? Any other advice for morning sickness.
unisom and b6
Comments (3)
Posted 07/17/2012
I just take unisom, but you can take them together. It has really worked for me at night.
Posted 07/17/2012
I don't know if you can take them seperate...my dr recommends them together as well. But when I went to go buy them, I decided I didn't want to take the unisom b/c my ds has been sick, and I didn't want to be even more tired! So the pharmacist recommended sea bands, and they're actually working! I mean, they're not a miracle or anything, but I went from throwing up atleast 1 or 2xs a day, to just feeling slightly nausous! It's worth a shot to see if they work for you. :)
Posted 07/17/2012
Isn't unisom just for sleeping? B6 is supposed to be good, but you're only supposed to take 75mg. per day. You can take emetrol if you're nausea is really bad.
Really, just try to drink as much water as possible and stick to proteins and carbs... they take the longest to digest and will keep your stomach happier for longer. Other than that, just eat what sounds good. Keeping some crackers by your bed will help in the mornings and eating proteins or carbs right before bed will help you sleep through the night.

Book list Tuberculosis still scourged the nation in 1940, and sanatoriums such as the fictional Loon Lake facility in Hayles' first novel were established to quarantine patients and treat the illness. Shortly after Evelyn arrives there, she tries to put on a brave face, holding back tears. My head hurt with questions. Really, all of me hurt, worse than ever before. I had to close my eyes. Trying to stay alive at Loon Lake felt like it was killing me already. Eventually, she grows more comfortable with the new routines and forges friendships. Hayles provides a fascinating glimpse into the medical technology of the day, such as the pneumothorax to blow air into the chest or surgical rib removal to ease pressure on the lungs. The unique setting provides a backdrop to a well-crafted, believable story complete with happy moments and camaraderie interspersed with a daily reality of anxiety and loss. Despite a well-founded fear of how the disease could cut short her future, Evie evokes a completely normal-sounding teen trying to make sense of the world. Photos and other illustrations enhance the narrative.--O'Malley, Anne Copyright 2010 Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright © American Library Association. Used with permission.
Publishers Weekly Set in 1940 at a sanitarium in Loon Lake, Minn., this first novel from picture-book author Hayles (Bunion Burt) is an evocative piece of historical fiction. Thirteen-year-old Evvy Hoffmeister has tuberculosis and feels abandoned by her family when she's sent to the sanitarium to be cured. The cold nurses, strict rules, mind-numbing routines, and endless bed rest are dispiriting for Evvy and her roommates: kind Beverly, glamorous Pearl, and defensive Dena. "Trying to stay alive at Loon Lake felt like it was killing me already," says Evvy. Nonetheless, the girls find strength in each other and discover creative ways to bring cheer. Evvy bonds with a new roommate and a warm nurse, but the beginning of war in Europe and the constant deaths in the institution keep the patients under a dark cloud. Evvy's strong, emphatic narration gives voice to her resentment, isolation, and determination. Hayles's sympathetic characters and detailed account is complemented by historical documents and photos throughout. Readers will feel plunged into the book's intimate-claustrophobic, even-setting and immersed in Evvy's daily struggles. Ages 10-14. Agent: Tracey Adams, Adams Literary.

School Library Journal Gr 5-8-Evvy Hoffmeister, 13, arrives at Loon Lake Sanatorium in Minnesota in the early 1940s in hopes of being cured of tuberculosis. She is confined to bed rest in a ward with three other adolescent girls, Beverly, Pearl, and Dena. Evvy misses her family, especially her twin brother, but adjusts to life at Loon Lake, a complex of buildings almost as vividly depicted as the staff and patients it houses. Stony Nurse Marshall, dubbed Old Eagle Eye by Dena, assigns privileges when the girls cough up less bloody sputum and show signs of improving health. Yet death is always close at hand, and Pearl, who had the privilege of leaving the sanatorium for a day, returns happily with gifts of decorated paper fans for her friends, only to die in the hallway from "throwing a ruby," a hemorrhage. Many archaic medical treatments are used on the patients, including thoracoplasty, the removal of a rib to allow a lung to collapse and heal. Sarah, a new patient, becomes Evvy's friend and shares the secret that she is Jewish. With awareness of World War II being fought in Europe, a staff member insults Evvy because of her German surname. She is a resilient and perceptive character who will not be defined by her illness. This powerful novel, illustrated with contemporary objects and documents, portrays an illness that is unfortunately making a comeback. A moving and well-wrought story.-Susan W.

Book list Like Ophelia (2007), Klein's latest is a riveting, nuanced historical drama based on a Shakespearean play. The title sets up the premise: How would the famous plot alter if Macbeth had had a daughter? Would this child have joined in her parents' treachery? Klein, who has taught Shakespeare at the university level, does much more than just rework the original story's arc and themes. Alternately narrated by Lady Macbeth and Albia, Macbeth's banished daughter, the chapters flip between the Scottish queen's terrifying plots and the story of Albia her rescue from death by Lady Macbeth's maid, her secret childhood being raised by the three soothsaying sisters, and her teenage confrontation with her murderous parents. As in Ophelia, Klein nimbly inserts feminist themes and vivid detail into the story, balancing the political tragedy and battlefield action, which culminates in an unforgettable scene of mercy. Readers won't need a firm grasp of Macbeth to enjoy this natural choice for English class, but the wrenching, richly told story may well send teens in search of the original, daughterless drama.--Engberg, Gillian Copyright 2009 Booklist
School Library Journal Gr 8 Up-This reworking of Macbeth is told in alternating points of view by Albia, Macbeth's daughter, and Grelach, her mother and Macbeth's wife. Because Albia is born with a crippled foot, Macbeth orders that she be killed. Grelach's servant rescues her, and she is raised by Rhuven's sisters. Albia grows up ignorant of her true heritage, believing herself to be Geillis's daughter. She realizes that she has second sight, and she begins to foresee terrifying, bloody events that are to come. After Macbeth murders King Duncan, Geillis sends her to be fostered by Banquo and his family. As the Scottish kingdom falls into even greater disorder under Macbeth's tyranny, Albia finds out the truth about her birth, and she must decide if she should use her gifts to overthrow her father and help bring order to the realm once again. A number of sections of the book are based directly on scenes from the play. This is a strong feminist reenvisioning of the original that raises issues about the treatment and social positions of women at the time. Grelach, Lady Macbeth, is far more sympathetic than in Shakespeare's version, and Albia is a compelling character who fights for the good of her country and refuses to allow anyone to use her as a political pawn. Klein has gone to historical sources predating Shakespeare's primary source, Holinshed's Chronicles, and has restored some of the history Shakespeare changed, most notably by including the character of Luoch, Grelach's son by her first husband. A great choice for teen book groups.-Kathleen E. Gruver, Burlington County Library, Westampton, NJ (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
School Library Journal Gr 8 Up-This chilling narrative exposes the history of human medical experimentation, much of which has occurred in the United States. By examining the use of humans as guinea pigs in medical research since the 1700s, Wittenstein explains the evolution of modern regulations, review boards, and organizations focused on ethical treatment of patients and approved research procedures. While the exploitation of unsuspecting orphans and pregnant women or intentionally withholding established medical cures from sick patients may seem gruesome, the narrative is successful at presenting both sides of the issue: the patient whose rights are being violated and the doctor intent on furthering science. Of particular note is the discussion of stem-cell research, which brings these historical medical controversies to light in a modern setting. The black-and-white photographs present a human face to these experiments and, if used in the classroom, this title will spark an educated debate. A "Critical Analysis" section presents questions for readers to consider and discuss while sources for additional information list print, media, and websites that will appeal to a wide variety of readers. This title is an important addition to public and school libraries. It will pair well with books on topics ranging from medicine and history to human rights and law.-Meaghan Darling, Plainsboro Public Library, NJ (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Book list More than just a historical treatment of human experimentation, this title also offers an introduction to timely related issues involving biospecimens, stem cell research, and genetic enhancement. Archival photographs of test subjects, including prison and concentration camp inmates, accompany chilling tales of torturous experimentation. How do respect, beneficence, and justice, as described in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Federal Policy for the Protection of Human Subjects, and The Common Rule that department published in 1991 fit with the ongoing practice of using humans as guinea pigs? Writing from a mindful, balanced perspective, Wittenstein keeps the essential ethical questions about rights of the individual, the advancement of science, and the evolution of informed consent in clear view. Chapter notes offering further critical analysis focus mainly on bioethical issues, while the source notes, a selected bibliography, lists of additional resources, and an index extend this substantive, informative resource. Researchers may find additional suggestions for further exploring the topic on the publisher's website.--Bush, Gail Copyright 2010 Booklist
Book list *Starred Review* Starting with a riveting opening that puts readers into the shoes of a paratrooper on a training flight, this large-format book offers an informative introduction to the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion. Known as the Triple Nickles, they were America's first black paratrooper unit. Though WWII brought increased racial integration to the military, the pace was painfully slow. This book traces the paratroopers' story through their training and their long wait for orders to join the fighting overseas-orders that never came. Instead, the Triple Nickles were sent to fight fires in remote areas of western states. Decades passed before the men were officially honored for service to their country. Written with great immediacy, clarity, and authority, Stone's vivid narrative draws readers into the Triple Nickles' wartime experiences. Many well-chosen quotes enhance the text, while excellent black-and-white illustrations, mainly photos, document both the men of the 555th and the racial prejudice on the home front. Adding another personal perspective, artist and writer Ashley Bryan, an African American veteran of WWII, contributes the book's foreword, a drawing, and a painting from the period. This handsome volume documents the sometimes harrowing, often frustrating, and ultimately rewarding experiences of the Triple Nickles.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2010 Booklist
School Library Journal Gr 5 Up-A moving, thoughtful history of the the United States military's first black paratrooper unit. During World War II, African American soldiers were mostly relegated to service and security jobs, generally denied the same training and active-combat positions that were available to their white counterparts. Expertly woven together are two narratives: the large, overarching history of rampant racism in the U.S. military and the smaller, tightly focused account of a group of black soldiers determined to serve their country and demonstrate their value as soldiers. Readers are taken along on the emotional journey with the soldiers as they leapt forward from guard duty at The Parachute School into official paratrooper training, the first of its kind for blacks. They faced multiple setbacks as they encountered discrimination, some justified as "policy" and some that was more personal and insidious. Throughout the book, the courage and strength of these men is evidenced in their tireless quest to be the best at what they do, throwing themselves headlong into sometimes dangerous and terrifying training requirements. The photographs and the design of the book as a whole are a gift to readers. Rich with detail, the pictures not only complement the narrative, but also tell a stirring story of their own, chronicling the triumphs and frustrations of the soldiers as they pursued their dreams. Complete accessibility to a wide range of readers, coupled with expert research and meticulous care, makes this a must-have for any library.-Jody Kopple, Shady Hill School, Cambridge, MA (c) Copyright 2013.

Publishers Weekly Stone (Almost Astronauts: 13 Women Who Dared to Dream) opens with an enticing question, "What is it like to jump out of an airplane?" The answer, which lets readers imagine doing just that as a paratrooper, will immediately draw them into this thorough story of the U.S. military's first black paratroopers. More than just an account of their endeavors during WWII, the narrative takes on a broader perspective as it contextualizes the story of the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion. Set against the entrenched racism of the 1940s, the nine chapters include asides about media stereotypes regarding African-Americans and how photographs of black soldiers were often left out of the military record. Myriad quotations from personal interviews and more than 100 b&w photos reveal the heroism and perseverance of these groundbreaking men. While they didn't see combat (they were instead sent out West to become smoke jumpers), Stone's final chapters reveal how the Triple Nickles' service helped integrate both the military and society at large. A captivating look at a small but significant piece of military and civil rights history. Ages 10-up. Agent: Rosemary Stimola, Stimola Literary Studio. (Jan.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Publishers Weekly Of interest to adults as well as children, this handsomely produced black-and-white book intriguingly combines photography, sculpture and poetry. The illiterate child of freed slaves, William Edmondson (1874-1951) experienced religious visions from the age of 13 or 14. At 57, hearing a voice "telling me/ to pick up my tools/ and start to work on a tombstone," he began carving limestone; he became, in 1937, the first African-American to have a solo show at New York's Museum of Modern Art. Four of Spires's (The Mouse of Amherst) poems are taken verbatim from interviews with the artist, but elsewhere the poet mimics Edmondson's homespun language to remarkable effect, and creates narrative voices for Edmondson's sculpted characters, photos of which are shown facing the poems. The subjects include an "Angel with a Pocketbook," Eleanor Roosevelt and a rabbit who explains how Edmondson "thunked me with his hammer./...He reached in with his fingers,/ ... and drew me right out/ of that chunk of limestone!" The immediacy in Spires's poems will speak to young readers, although the appeal of Edmondson's weighty, primitive figures may be more apparent to adults. Portraits of Edmondson by luminaries Louise Dahl-Wolfe and Edward Weston make a lingering impression. All ages. (Feb.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
Book list Moved by a religious vision at age 57, Nashville janitor William Edmondson began carving tombstones and whimsical figures out of stone in 1931 and went on to attract the attention of international collectors, eventually becoming the first African American artist to have a solo show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This handsome picture-book-sized poetry collection pairs full-page, black-and-white photos of Edmondson and his works with poems inspired by the images. A few poems incorporate Edmondson's own words, and many of the most memorable selections imagine the sculptures' thoughts, as in the lines accompanying the piece Girl Thinking : Make me a girl, I wished. / A girl with a space of quiet around her; / a girl with time to dream her dreams. / And he did. He did! Supported by an appended prose biography, these playful, thought-provoking poems introduce a fascinating artist, and like Jan Greenberg's collections Heart to Heart (2001) and Side by Side (2008), they will encourage both youth and adult readers to explore the rich interplay between poetry and art.--Engberg, Gillian Copyright 2009 Booklist
School Library Journal Gr 7 Up-In 23 poems, Spires pays homage to a little-known folk sculptor, William Edmondson. Born on a former plantation outside Nashville in 1874, he was well into his 50s and had spent nearly a lifetime in a variety of jobs ranging from racehorse swipe to janitor when he heard God speaking to him. In the vision, God told him to pick up his tools and carve leftover bits of stone into a tombstone. This divine directive would lead Edmondson to create not only tombstones, but also sculptures and become the first black artist to have a solo show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Each of Spires's poems is accompanied by a full-page, black-and-white photograph, either of Edmondson or of one of his works. Poems paired with photographs of the sculptor weave in some of the artist's own words to flesh out his biography. In poems paired with images of his works, the verse gives voice to the piece itself. The "Three Crows," for example, proclaim "'cause Will made us /cooler than cool, three crows/looking over your shoulder.'" Though this personification feels forced or simplistic in a poem or two, in others the simplicity matches the unassuming nature of the subject itself. All in all, Spires has presented readers with a delightful glimpse into the life and work of a relative unknown. This is a special book.-Jill Heritage Maza, Greenwich High School, CT (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.


text:
Some of the dialogue has the elliptical quality of audiovideo, but within this new context and under the dark set lighting, it takes on a disjointed, disturbing sensuality and hostility that's almost dreamlike. For instance the man says to the girl, who hardly sleeps: "We lose more in our dreams than we ever had waking to find -- another reason to stay awake." It also is this stream of consciousness that becomes a bit unwieldy and confusing in some of the man's monologues. The play seems to go on too long, and its end leaves us with some major questions: Who really is the young girl's lover? Is it her mother's lover or her own father? Has the lover been arrested? Is he being cross-examined? This ambiguity is somewhat disconcerting after investing an hour and 40 minutes in these characters and their situation.
Because the script itself is so rich in dialogue and characterization, and Bravo and Pooler's performances are solid, I did not leave feeling unsatisfied but was definitely aware that I had just seen a work in progress, one that needs a little more editing. Honing well-written text is a problem most writers don't complain about. And the experience of having theater as an experimental laboratory for new works is exciting. It's also part of Juggerknot's mission, as Bravo (also artistic director of Juggerknot) explains, "I would eventually like Juggerknot to be a place where playwrights can come and workshop their material, then take their pieces to New York or other parts of the country." As a matter of fact, land. will make its New York debut next spring as part of INTAR's (International Arts Relations) 2002 season. Juggerknot continues to find the right work for its small space and expansive mission, and South Florida theatergoers continue to benefit from it.

Madonna may have tongues wagging with her reportedly "diva-like" behaviour at TIFF (recap: apparently she made volunteers turn around and face the wall while she walked into a room), she's on our radar this week with news of a possible perfume launch.
The singer is apparently in talks with scent maker Coty to launch a signature fragrance sometime next year. Coty is the same company responsible for J. Lo and Beyonce's line of perfumes, so they'll definitely be able to create something amazing for Madonna.
Though she's been a fashion icon for years Madonna hasn't really put her name on a scent before. She did of course, have a song called "Candy Perfume Girl" back in the day. As for what her new fragrance will smell like, we're thinking something strong and powerful, just like the woman behind it. One thing we're sure it won't smell like: hydrangeas .

The research described in this thesis represents a significant advancement in the current mechanistic understanding of low-frequency ultrasound-mediated transdermal drug delivery. Specifically, while prior research has focused on a more general understanding of the mechanisms associated with low-frequency sonophoresis (LFS), this thesis directly investigates the mechanisms associated with phenomena that occur due to LFS skin treatment. These include a deeper understanding of: i) the reasons for heterogeneous perturbation of skin treated with LFS, ii) the physical mechanism that causes synergism between LFS and chemical penetration enhancers (CPEs), iii) the interactions between traditional and non-traditional surfactants in LFS skin treatments, and iv) the effects of LFS and LFS/CPEs on skin structural perturbation. In the first study of this thesis, the intrinsic properties and formation mechanisms of localized-transport regions (LTRs), and the surrounding less-perturbed non-LTRs, of lowfrequency sonophoresis-treated skin are investigated. By independently analyzing LTR, non- LTR, and total skin samples treated at multiple LFS frequencies, it was found that the pore radii (rpore) within non-LTRs are frequency-independent, ranging from 18.2 - 18.5 A, but significantly larger than rpore of native skin samples (13.6 A). Conversely, rpore within LTRs increases significantly with decreasing frequency from 161 A, to 276 A, and to ao (>300 A) for LFS/SLStreated skin at 60 kHz, 40 kHz, and 20 kHz, respectively. These findings suggest that different mechanisms contribute to skin permeability enhancement within each skin region. Therefore, it was proposed that the enhancement mechanism within LTRs is the frequency-dependent process of cavitation-induced microjet collapse at the skin surface, while the increased rpore values in non-LTRs are likely due to SLS perturbation, with enhanced penetration of SLS into the skin resulting from the frequency-independent process of acoustic streaming. Next, the effects of a non-traditional surfactant on LFS treatment were analyzed through a case study with the commonly used fluorescent dye sulforhodamine B (SRB). SRB is often considered to be a purely hydrophilic molecule, having no impact on bulk or interfacial properties of aqueous solutions. However, it was demonstrated that SRB is in fact an amphiphile, with the ability to adsorb at an air/water interface and to incorporate into sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) micelles. In fact, SRB reduced the surface tension of water by up to 23 mN/m, and the addition of SRB to an aqueous SLS solution was found to induce a significant decrease in the critical micelle concentration (cmc) of SLS. Molecular dynamics revealed that SRB has defined polar "head" and non-polar "tail" regions when adsorbed at the air/water interface as a monomer. These findings have significant implications into LFS-mediated transdermal drug delivery, as the inclusion of SRB into an LFS coupling solution can cause a synergistic increase in skin permeability enhancement. However, in the presence of SLS, SRB actually causes an antagonistic effect due to the resulting change in bulk and interfacial properties.(cont.) The next investigation of this thesis focused on understanding the synergism between LFS and CPEs (e.g., surfactants). In spite of identifying that the origin of this synergism is the increased penetration and subsequent dispersion of CPEs in the skin in response to LFS treatment, no prior study had proposed a mechanism to explain how LFS induces the observed increased transport of CPEs. In this study, a physical mechanism by which the transport of all CPEs is expected to have significantly increased flux into the localized-transport regions (LTRs) of LFS-treated skin was proposed. Specifically, the collapse of acoustic cavitation microjets within LTRs was shown to induce a convective flux. In addition, because amphiphilic molecules are able to adsorb onto the gas/water interface of cavitation bubbles, amphiphiles were shown to have an additional adsorptive flux. In this sense, the cavitation bubbles were shown to effectively act as carriers for amphiphilic molecules, delivering surfactants directly into the skin when they collapse at the skin surface as cavitation microjets. The flux equations derived for the LTRs and non-LTRs of LFS-treated skin, compared to that for untreated skin, explained how the transport of all CPEs, and to an even greater extent amphiphilic CPEs, increases during LFS treatment. The flux model was supported with experiments involving a non-amphiphilic CPE (propylene glycol) and both nonionic and ionic amphiphilic CPEs (octyl glucoside and SLS), by measuring the flux of each CPE into untreated skin and the LTRs and non-LTRs of LFS-treated skin. Data showed excellent agreement with the expected trends from the flux model. The final study of this thesis investigated the effect of SLS on skin structural perturbation when utilized simultaneously with LFS. Pig full-thickness skin (FTS) and pig split-thickness skin (STS) treated with LFS/SLS and LFS were analyzed in the context of the aqueous porous pathway model to quantify skin perturbation through changes in skin pore radius and porosity-totortuosity ratio (e/t). In addition, skin treatment times required to attain specific levels of skin electrical resistivity were analyzed to draw conclusions about the effect of SLS on reproducibility and predictability of skin perturbation. It was found that LFS/SLS-treated FTS, LFS/SLS-treated STS, and LFS-treated FTS exhibited similar skin perturbation. However, LFStreated STS exhibited significantly higher skin perturbation, suggesting greater structural changes to the less robust STS induced by the purely physical enhancement mechanism of LFS. Evaluation of c/c values revealed that LFS/SLS-treated FTS and STS have similar transport pathways, while LFS-treated FTS and STS have lower cF/ values. In addition, LFS/SLS treatment times were much shorter than LFS treatment times for both FTS and STS. Moreover, the simultaneous use of SLS and LFS not only results in synergistic enhancement, as reflected in the shorter skin treatment times, but also in more predictable and reproducible skin perturbation. In conclusion, the research conducted in this thesis has contributed to the advancement of the molecular and cellular-level understanding of phenomena associated with LFS-mediated transdermal skin permeability enhancement. Additionally, the insights provided by this thesis could lead to the development of optimized LFS treatment protocols and improved LFS coupling solution formulations. This would permit attaining the desired skin permeability using milder LFS treatment conditions and smaller skin treatment areas. This could also lead to lower power requirements of LFS devices, thereby leading to miniaturization of devices and the creation of more commercially-viable LFS equipment.

The Best Moments From the 2014 Tony Awards
There was a lot of television to choose from last night: a beauty pageant, a big battle on Game of Thrones, and even, I'm told, some basketball game. But if you're like me, you enjoyed a liter of white wine and the Tony Awards, the annual celebration of a relatively minor industry within New York that is broadcast on national television to millions who will likely never see any of the shows featured or even know who most of the people in attendance actually are. But, on the plus side, Broadway for once looked a lot less whitewashed than usual! … Read More

The Most Memorable Moments From Last Night's Spectacular 2013 Tony Awards
Last night's Tony Awards were a grand affair and, I'd argue, not just one of the best awards shows of the year, but one that truly encapsulated the fun and splendor of the Broadway community. It's part lovefest for Broadway, and part marketing ploy, but this year's Tonys didn't feel like a chance for New York producers to sell their biggest shows of the year (as well as a handful from previous seasons that are luckily still running) to potential patrons in the rest of the country. It was also filled with plenty of in-jokes and featured some surprisingly heartfelt speeches from Tony winners. As frequent host Neil Patrick Harris sang during his opening number years ago, Broadway isn't just for gays anymore. Here's a rundown of what elevated this year's ceremony to a higher dramatic level as much as it proved that Broadway is more representative of the rest of the country than you'd think. … Read More

2013 Tony Nominations: The Theatre World Takes Broadway Back From Hollywood
Like any other award given to popular art, the Tonys can be divisive. The awards, handed out by the American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League, honor a select number of American theatre performances — productions must take place within the eligibility period (roughly, the Broadway season that runs from June to April) and in a Broadway house, which is defined not by location but by size (a theatre must have 500 seats or more). Considering the limited number of eligible productions, the small nominating committee of 42 theatre professionals, and the continuous commercialization of Broadway productions, it's understandable that many critics see the Tony not as a respectable award but rather as an internal marketing tactic. … Read More

Gisele Bundchen Lingerie Modeling Pictures
Gisele Bundchen Hits the Runway in Bras and Lingerie!
Gisele Bundchen went from sassy to sweet in a series of sexy pieces of lingerie at the Hope Valentine's Day special collection fashion show in Sao Paolo, Brazil, Thursday. The supermodel and mom showed off her very super figure as she strutted her stuff in sky-high heels and next-to-nothing looks. It's been a big week of appearances for Gisele, who attended a charity event with husband Tom Brady, and was honored for her environmental work at more than one event in NYC. As part of her role as UN environmental goodwill ambassador, Gisele Bundchen also starred in a cute video challenging Don Cheadle to a "pledge off." Her stay on the East Coast came to an end when she had to head back to her native Brazil to hit the runway. It's her second time to Sao Paolo in as many weeks, as she debuted her Gisele Bundchen clothing line in a department store there at the end of April.

Dark Souls 2 is now up for pre-order on Steam. While I don't remember ever paying 50 bucks for a PC game, it's still 10 bucks less than the typical yearly release franchises. Also comes with 10 early access weapons. Only problem is the extra month or so of waiting compared to the console releases.
Now some Russians know about my games nights.
A was making sure I didnt Putin a few bad Russian jokes whilst in conversation
Edit -
Well the internet is doing it so.................

Hi yes, hello. I've been trying to get the hang of playing on a set of Donkey Konga bongos. I've got the hang of waveshining into double laser 360 half pipe bananarama, but I'm having a hard time smash attacking. How loud should I be clapping?

Daily iPhone App: Tobe & Friends Hookshot Escape catches sweet air
I've already suggested that you buy Tobe & Friends: Hookshot Escape in passing, and after playing with it for a few days, my advice hasn't changed. It's a remarkably cute and well-made game, with some interesting ideas about platforming, incredible music and graphics, and a lot of retro pixela...

95 YJ engine swap help
Hello everyone, I'm currently stationed in Afghanistan and looking to do an engine swap as well as put in a new suspension when I return. My old wrangler has the 4 banger and AX5 and some leaf springs that are pretty damn flat. I'm looking to put in the GM genIII 4.8L and the AX15 just wondering if any of you guys have done a swap similar to this before and what I can look for as far as good places to get parts, any parts that I need that I may be forgetting, and an estimated cost. Help is appreciated.

Noise-figure limit of fiber-optical parametric amplifiers and wavelength converters: experimental investigation
Optics Letters, Vol. 29, Issue 20, pp. 2372-2374 (2004)
Acrobat PDF (492 KB)
Recent theoretical work predicts that the quantum-limited noise figure of a χ(3) -based fiber-optical parametric amplifier operating as a phase-insensitive in-line amplifier or as a wavelength converter exceeds the standard 3-dB limit at high gain. The degradation of the noise figure is caused by the excess noise added by the unavoidable Raman gain and loss occurring at the signal and the converted wavelengths. We present detailed experimental evidence in support of this theory through measurements of the gain and noise-figure spectra for phase-insensitive parametric amplification and wavelength conversion in a continuous-wave amplifier made from 4.4 km of dispersion-shifted fiber. The theory is also extended to include the effect of distributed linear loss on the noise figure of such a long-length parametric amplifier and wavelength converter.

My friends, my dear friends
And lovers, oh my lovers
I'd leave you for them
They got a hand on my back
Mama has money now and mama has friends
She's making rags for some uptown hags
With their money in bags
And why are you so sad?
Why are you always so sad?
Why do I not understand?
Why don't I see what it is you see?
Why can I live and just be?
I'm full of guilt, I am full of guilt
You're very tall, you're very handsome
You have it all, your skin smells like man
And I, you never know how I ache
You will never know how I ache
Ever considered the sea?
I heard you had to be strong
Why not float around with me?
It won't take you so long
You can go where I'm at
You can hang around with me
And a few good men will go where they all
Where they all not be
And a few good mothers go for what they
What they all not teach
I long for a touch or reminder of us
But, but it must not be
And a few strong branches over water
Reach for what they all not reach
I hope your mother knows where it is you have been
I hope your mother knows what it is you have seen
She'd be so proud
She will never know how I ache

Shocked... a CRACKPIPE
Posted by
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA -- I stayed at the Super 8 in Pasadena, CA on 12/22/10. My home was evacuated due to flooding and I needed a last minute place to stay that could accommodate my lab. Since I only had 2 hours to get out and the price was great, I chose Super 8.
The evening manager was great and helped me find a smoking room that did not have too much odor, they require a smoking room if you have a pet. I'm almost 8 months pregnant so I appreciated this.
About 1130 PM I went to get a Kleenex, there were some bugs on the walls-really gross and I wanted to get rid of them. Pulled out Kleenex from the dispenser and as I pulled a CRACKPIPE and a paper baggie came out. I was absolutely shocked and called the night manager, his English was terrible and couldn't understand exactly what I was saying but agreed to come up. Meanwhile the phone rang and it was the general manager who said that his assistant was coming to pick up the item. He then told me it was a medical device and not a crackpipe. I said you haven't seen it! How could you know that?
I hung up and waited for the assistant manager. He wouldn't come in the room, and finally I raised my voice and told him to get the item and that I was extremely upset. He got the item and left.
By this time it is midnight and pouring rain outside. This was the only room that was "acceptable" in terms of the smoking status, the others I toured reeked of smoke. I was exhausted, had my dog with me and with the horrible storm outside, I didn't feel safe at 7.5 months pregnant changing hotels.
I slept for 6 hours and got up to speak with the manager about the evening and to request a refund. The same assistant manager was there in the morning, incredulous that I wanted my money back. He called the manager, who said to me over the phone that he could give me 20% off and that I should not have stayed in the room. He was terrible to me on the phone, did not apologize or offer to make it right. I explained to him that I am 30 weeks pregnant, evacuated from my home, my husband was out of town and there was a raging storm outside. He said that I was offered a refund last night--totally not true and I called him on it. He refused to admit what the item was and told me to call the paparazzi he didn't care. Huh?
I am absolutely taking this to the corporate level. I took a picture of the item and am so glad I did. I understand that they may have not known about the activity in the room, but to not apologize??

Terrible Place to Stay! Stay away!!!! Stay anywhere else!!!
Posted by
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA -- We had the most horrible experience at the Super 8 Motel-San Franciso/Fisherman's Wharf Area (2440 Lombard Street, San Francisco, CA!!!!! My husband and I brought my 87 year old mother on a trip to San Francisco with us. We started off with no parking spaces remaining at the motel. The manager/desk clerk suggested we park down the street at the Blockbuster after they closed at 10:30. Parking spaces are given on a first come, first serve basis. We arrived at about 4:00 P.M. but all spaces were already full. Inadequate parking! All of the motel rooms are located upstairs on the second and third floors. We were given a room on the third floor. The motel had no elevator and we all climbed up the most unbelievable flight of stairs I have ever seen in my life. This was not near to code. The stairs were so steep and the height of the steps varied. I am not a tall woman but some of the steps were as high as distance between my ankle and knee making it quite a venture just to get up the stairs to our room!!!!! When my mother and I got to the top we felt like we had climbed Mount Everest!!! Just absolutely unbelievable! The ADA (American's With Disabilities Act) would never allow for a place like that to exist without an elevator to accommodate disabled or elderly people. They just haven't had a lawsuit yet!!! The included Continental breakfast was served on a tiny counter in their tiny, tiny lobby. My husband brought us three cups of coffee up that steep, steep staircase! To top it off they even placed an addition hold of fund on my credit card after I had already paid for the room. It took a few days to get that straightened out with my bank. This place does not represent San Francisco and all of the lovely, wonderful places to stay there and at much, much better rates. My suggestion is to never, never stay there! I stay in the Bay Area about once a month and have for the last 20 years. This place is the worst motel I have ever had the displeasure of staying in.

Worst Hotel Experience in 20 Years of Travel
Posted by
LANTANA, FLORIDA -- The staff and management of this hotel did everything in their power to ensure a miserable stay.
The evening I checked into the hotel, I was told that I would receive two nights' accommodation. The next morning the front desk called me to confirm the fact that I would be staying a second night.
When I returned that night, however, I could not gain access to my room. I asked the front desk clerk to update my key. She said, "You only reserved the room for one night, so we have to put you in another room." I pointed out that I had, in fact requested a two night stay -- and this had been confirmed twice by the hotel.
I told the clerk that I would be happy to stay in a new room, and that I would like my property transferred from the original room to the new one. She then told me that the hotel could not return my belongings until the next day!
I asked to call the manager. The clerk said she didn't have a phone number for the manager. I told her that I didn't believe her, but she persisted. When I told her that I was ready to call the police, she suddenly discovered the manager's number.
The manager refused to fix the problem. "I have a life," he said. "I can't worry about that."
Eventually I did have to resort to calling the local police in order to retrieve my belongings. Though the desk clerk had claimed that she had no access to the property, it had miraculously appeared on her desk in time for the police.
Amazingly, the front desk clerk had apparently asked the attending officer to arrest me, because, in frustration earlier in the day, I had disconnected the handset of her phone and placed it outside!
Altogether hideous.

Discount Misrepresented
Posted by
ATHENS, OHIO -- Late December 2004, I made a reservation at the Athens, OH Super 8 using the 800 number for Super 8 Motels and providing a CC number to hold the room for a late arrival.
When I asked about discounts for AAA or AARP, the agent at the 800 number said she could not pull up any discount information on her computer screen - that I would have to check with the front desk at check-in.
At check-in, I asked the desk clerk about a AAA or AARP discount. The desk clerk said the discount was already reflected in the price. I later found out that was NOT true. I complained to the OH BBB and the motel and requested a refund of the 10% discount I was told was reflected in the price. To date, 3/18, I have had two letters from the motel, through the BBB, saying they were not honoring any discounts that night. That may well be true, but I also know what I was told - that the discount was reflected in the amount I was being charged.
I do not expect to see the requested 10% refund and am not going to waste any further time, effort or postage on this incident. I just want to let folks know that I will never do business with the Super 8 in Athens, OH again, and I strongly recommend that others spending time in the area avail themselves of other housing options.
Oh, do not bother to complain to Super 8 corporate, either. I emailed a complaint on their website; it was ignored. I followed-up with a call and was basically told that all Super 8's are franchises and Super 8 corporate could take no responsibility for how they were being operated. I followed my call up with a letter and was told that Super 8 corporate could do nothing, that I should contact the franchisee directly. I do not think they even read that letter, as it contained clear references to my two previous contacts with the franchisee. I am NOT impressed. One bad franchisee and an unmotivated corporate customer service department have soured me on all Super 8's
Go Motel 6!

Terrible Hotel and Manager
Posted by
ROANOKE RAPIDS -- Bad place.
This franchise is out to rip you out, drive a little further and you will find many better quality motels at BETTER PRICE where you can sleep peacefully and comfortably.
The commotion and loud arguments in their parking lot right through the night had us worried if bullets would come ripping through the walls while we tried to sleep.

Very Dirty and Rude
Posted by
COLDWATER, MICHIGAN -- Very rude and dirty. Manager has all kinds of people living here and them guys/kids bombards the meal time. Never any food or coffee left. All kinds of dogs and the manager said he was going to charge everyone 10.00 a night for pets. Like I said people hanging around out front all the time.
Thank you for your time but I'll never stay here again and a lot of people said the same thing.
Good day.

I Can't Believe It Was That Bad
Posted on
PHOENIX, ARKANSAS -- A non smoking room that about knocked me over with its smoking smell. Chair fabric had burned holes in it. Carpet was torn. Bathtub was in such poor repair it had holes they had tried to repair or something. I stayed 2 nights and second night there was no water pressure for the shower. I have stayed here before with no problems but this has been the worst stay anywhere ever.
