It's funny how people in these forums start to moan and complain about things that are only in their own heads.
According to this post ubuntu touch *does not use bionic*, it uses libhybris which allows the use of android drivers with glibc.
So ubuntu touch is not that much of android, but not that much of GNU either, it is its own thing. With regard to the push for SurfaceFlinger on the desktop, we will have to wait and see. But the desktop and touch interfaces will most probably remain very different beasts for quite some time. Since X is all the desktop blobs support right now.
Before moaning about whatever display server canonical might be pushing, remember this one thing: *it must be supported by the blobs*. The only GPU more or less well supported by open drivers is intel's. All the other ARM SoCs or desktop GPUs require blobs, end of story. Consumers mostly buy notebooks, which should not melt when ubuntu is installed.
Either ubuntu gets big enough so that canonical can convince GPU makers to write drivers for their own display server, or they are bound to use the display servers (or a fork thereof) that is already supported by GPU makers.
That said, I do believe it would be easier to convince AMD/nVidia to support SurfaceFlinger than to convince *everyone* to support wayland (how are they so much different anyway?). If someone else does that or manages to write good open drivers for every GPU under the sun, then I'm sure canonical would reconsider.
Same for Wayland.
My only demand (which is fairly reasonable as a user) is that whatever the devs eventually choose as the de facto is to stick with it and stop flirting with alternatives for no good reason. Not like a certain person from a well-known distribution that got everybody all worked up over Wayland and caused so much development on it to take place only to do a 360 and now proclaim that "Wayland does not suit their needs and that they need to consider something else".
If you choose to stay with X, STAY WITH IT.
If you choose to migrate to Wayland / SurfaceFlinger / <insert other unheard-of display server>, MAKE SURE EVERYBODY ADOPTS IT.
The last thing I want is to see a webpage offering users a downloadable package that says "Download Application XYZ for a) X, b) Wayland, c) SurfaceFlinger".

Bathroom Vanities
1 Item(s)
Whitehaus Wall Mount Double Door Vanity with White Basin$429Item #: WH114SCB-SFree Shipping
Choosing a Vanity Sink is the second most important decision you will make during your bathroom remodel. (The Tub is the first, of course!) Your choice of vanity can make or break your bathroom design and flow. Here are some things to consider when you are choosing your Vanity Sink:
- Where will the vanity sink go? It is important not to block your bathroom's traffic flow or block any doors.
- What is it made of? Make sure that you choose materials that can stand up to the humid and wet environment of the Bathroom.
- Do you need extra storage? It is a good idea to take inventory of everything you will want to store in your vanity. This will help you determine how much extra space you will need.
- What size do you need? Vanities come in all sizes. They can range from 24 inch single bowl vanities to 72 inch double bowl vanities. Make sure you choose a size that both meets your needs and matches the scale of your space.

Understanding Your Type of Kidney Cancer
The kidney is made up of many layers of cells. Kidney cancer can affect any one or all of these layers.
Renal cell carcinoma
The main type of kidney cancer is called renal cell carcinoma (RCC). It begins in a layer of tissue called the renal tubular epithelium. More than 9 out of 10 malignant kidney tumors are this type. If you have this type of kidney cancer, you may have more than one tumor in one or both kidneys. These may be quite large by the time they are diagnosed. But most are found before they have spread, called metastasized, to other organs. If you have renal cell carcinoma, you will have one of five types. The pathologist identifies these types by looking at the cancer cells under a microscope. There appears to be a link between the type of renal cell carcinoma and how it behaves:
Clear cell. About 80 percent of people with RCC have this type, making it the most common type. The cancer cells appear pale or clear under the microscope.
Papillary. This is the second most common type of RCC, accounting for 10 to 15 percent of cases. The cells from papillary tumors appear pink from the dye used to prepare the tissue before examination. These cancers also form tiny fingerlike projections, which gives them a tubular appearance.
Chromophobe. This is a rare form of kidney cancer, making up about 5 percent of cases. Pale in color, these cells are larger than other types of renal cell carcinoma.
Collecting duct. This is an even rarer form of RCC. Collecting duct cancer cells form irregular tubes under the microscope.
Unclassified. This includes tumors that contain cells from multiple types of cancer or cells that do not fit into the other categories.
In some cases, the term sarcomatoid may be used to describe certain kinds of kidney cancer. Clear cell or papillary kidney cancer may be called sarcomatoid when the cancer cells resemble sarcoma cancer cells. Some experts believe that sarcomatoid kidney cancers are more difficult to treat.
Other types of kidney cancer
There are other less common types of kidney tumors than RCC. These types include the following:
Transitional cell carcinoma. These account for about 5 to 10 percent of all kidney tumors. They are also known as urothelial carcinomas. They begin in the junction between the ureter and kidney, which is called the renal pelvis. They can act and look very much like bladder cancer.
Wilms' tumor. This cancer nearly always occurs in children. It accounts for 5 to 6 percent of all kidney cancers.
Renal sarcoma. This is a very rare type of kidney cancer. It begins in the blood vessels and connective tissue surrounding the kidneys.
Noncancerous kidney tumors
There are also several types of benign (noncancerous) kidney tumors, including renal cell adenomas, renal oncocytomas, and angiomyolipomas. These tumors may still affect kidney function and can cause pain and other symptoms, but usually they do not spread to other organs.

Last year, we had a blog discussion on "How cancer changes you" and so many of you wrote in to share your experiences. With this post, I want to delve deeper into the positive side. I realize it might be asking a lot to do this; however, while having cancer is a generally negative occurrence, some positive things may come from it.
I'll share a story of a woman I met who was diagnosed with breast cancer. After her initial treatment, she decided to reduce her work schedule and pursue her love for painting. She traveled to places she loved and created incredible watercolor paintings reflecting on the beauty of each place.
She stayed active in her work life, but was able to balance it with her dream of painting again. She told me she wouldn't have done this if it hadn't been for her cancer diagnosis. Previous to her diagnosis, she was extremely focused on her career and had put her love for painting on hold.
I'm sure this story isn't unique. Many of you have made positive changes in your life because of your cancer diagnosis. I've heard so many stories of love, courage and strength. At times, it's hard to be positive, as having cancer isn't exactly easy and the physical feelings of the body usually have a strong influence on the mind and outlook.
I would love to hear about your personal experiences. How did you transform the negative to positive? How did this experience change your life?

I have been recuperating from chemo and surgeries I had during 2011. I have wept so much and have been so afraid and dealt with pain but the cancer was removed in August 2011. I realized I want to be alive for many years and have the chance to make this come true. I have faith it will happen and have also become a person who laughs a lot more and hugs people and doesn't take it all so seriously any longer. I made peace with people I thought had offended me and started looking at the good points in people and situations and it does make me happy to think this way. I am still tired so I rest and slow down and accept the limitations for now but can feel joy building as I get stronger. So many changes in the past year since I was diagnosed and most are positive: I eat better, I exercise and, most important to me, I laugh and love more freely.
As scary as this may sound I am somewhat thankful of my BC because I was able to discover the type of life that was for me. Don't get me wrong I was satisfied with the life I had before my diagonsis, but the life that I am living now is great(leaving the BC on the back burner). At age 19 lost my driver's license due to the lost of perphial vision because of my brain surgery. which then fourced me to ride a bicycle at age 21 and have not looked back since (Think that was harder to digest than the BC). Although I have battled through depressoin, I love how I am more of an envoirmentalist, adult, paicent, understanding. Being sustanilbe, having my own garden, reccyling, or pedaling myself 32 miles to the next town over are things I would have never thought about before having BC. Determination is the strongest tool in life and never give up because nothing is set in stone!
Cycling Can Cure,
I was diagnosed with Stage IIIC Inflammatory Breast Cancer in 2007, and I decided to focus on healing my entire life if that was even possible! I had the extreme treatments my oncologist recommended, and I also used complementary therapies. I blogged my way through it, and today am NED and an activist. I am much happier than I was before my diagnosis, although the treatments were hard on me. I have recreated my work life so that everything I do makes me happy. I also enjoy my family more. I wouldn't wish IBC on anybody, but my life was transformed completely. I was convinced that I had to do that to get well. My blog is called the Liberation of Persephone, because I feel that I ventured down into the dark and came out stronger.
I was diagnosed with ovarion cancer in 2007,stage 3c. Had a total hyserectomy and 6mo's of chemo. In 2009 was my 2nd recurrance again surgery & chemo..After that I felt I had to take some type of control. I purchased a book Beating Cancer with Nutrition by Patrick Quillin phd,rd,cns..I read of different alternative treatments and found a Wellness Institute that provided Vitamin C intravenously,which I decided to try. I was advised by this Dr. they had some good results with this treatment for ovarion cancer. He put me on a non dairy,no meat,low low sugar. lots of veggies& low fruit plan. He did a complete blood workup & provided different types of vitamins.. I have been going once a month for treatments for a yr & half now and feeling great & still in remission... I am happy I took control to help myself have a better quality of life for as many years as I can.
What wonderful stories of courage and strength. Giving and receiving support along the way is so important. Ashton, I am sure that you will receive so much back from your child as you open back up to her. Children can be such wonderful sources of emotional comfort and strength. Start with little things...doing your favorite activities together (a movie date, ice cream together, stories before bed, special hugs and kisses).
I've had a rough few years.... my husband of 6 years left me during my fifth month of pregnancy and then during our divorce he passed away. A few months before his death I felt run down and was having some very strange pain. I thought it was just the situation but the day after his burial I found myself in the ER facing the realization that I had cancer. I've gone through chemo and raditation and have had some set backs and I can't seem to find my footing again. I have a small child and I can't seem to find the strength to be a good parent which is what she desperatly needs. Who am I kidding I need it too. I just can't feel better emotionally if I can't shake all this off and look ahead....
On July 29 I was told I have stage two breast cancer. I have not received any papers to read about it, except what I had the foresight to go get right after my biopsy. I needed something to read while I waited, on vacation, for the test and results. I have not told anyone as of yet, even my husband. I am afraid to do so. Yes he is a very supportive husband. It is just very scary to say and thinking of all the money, we do not have, that will have to go now to try a survive this. I live in California and am going to UCDavis in Sacramento. Should I ask for another reading on the biopsy and where do I ask for it even read by? I do know that I have a long way to go on even knowing the real stages of BC. I so want to be informed and make the right choices for myself and husband. The choices I am going to have to make will come up very fast. I know that I also have a Auto Amuni liver decease called PBC, primary biliary cirrhosis. Been dealing with that for 10 years now. So far I have been in some kind of remission. Is there a more specific to BC support group to go to? I know that it is important to be supported by others that are dealing with grief. Thankyou for any hints.
I have had a lump in my breast for 5 years - in dec 10 I noticed it starting to grow. By the time I had my surgery - double masectomy - the "lump" was 6 cm and stage III and there was a second lump found under it and the other breast had atypical cells. I still feel blessed! Most of my live is pretty good and I have always had an upbeat, positive outlook. But as I am going through 5 months of chemo I have realized that my higher power has always seen to take care of me and I am, was, too much of a workaholic and worked at jobs that I didn't necessarily like. So I started looking and there are two fabulous jobs opening up next this next year and I am going to just go for them! I am a single mom with a 14 year old son that I am so proud of - I have learned that he really does listen and he has been such a blessing. Life is to short to dwell on the negative, as my grandma used to say - no matter what life hands you - get up, get out of bed and show up for it! Love you Grandma!
I don't know how I would change my life. There really is nothing I have a burning desire to do. I never have liked to travel--it's very hard on me physically. I have a very supportive husband who would do anything for me, but no close friends. I have had to give up singing; what voice I had is gone. Neuropathy is in all my extremities and balance is tentative, and I have tremors. I still work part-time but my typing skills are shot. I'm in a pretty negative state. Oh yes, I have epithelioid GBM; it took 2.5 years to get that dx.
P.S.: I was 45, married, and the father of a six-year-old at the time. I had too much to do not to fight this dreaded disease. After those two stem-cell transplants, I am in complete remission and plan to live to watch my son grow into a man.
I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2008. After attending weekly support groups for a few months at the hospital, I realized that I could run a support group. I started a cancer support group at my church, and it continues today.
I took a sabbatical and returned to graduate school so that I could multiply what I do by teaching others.
I have a greater appreciation for each day and for the people in my life.
I AM TRYING TO FIND THE POSITIVE IN MY JOURNEY NOW. MY 2ND TIME W/BREAST CANCER BUT IT HAS MESTASTISIED (SP) IN MY LEFT HIP BONE. ALL I DO NOW IS GO TO WORK AND HIDE IN MY HOUSE. I READ A LOT. I KNOW THERE ARE THINGS I "SHOULD" BE DOING SO I WOULD FEEL BETTER BUT AM SOMETIMES JUST PARALYZED TO DO ANYTHING. i DON';T WORRY ABOUT THE LITTLE THINGS ANYMORE NOT LIKE I USED TO. I HAVE A SIGN IN MY HOUSE THAT SAYS "DO SOMETHING EVERY DAY THAT WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY" AT TIMES I FEEL ALMOST FREER THAN I'VE EVER FELT BEFORE IN MY LIFE. I AM 59 YO AND THE DOC SAYS MAYBE I HAVE 5 YRS LEFT. I MIGHT HAVE LONGER THAN THAT BUT I FEEL LIKE I'M WASTING THE TIME I DO HAVE LEFT. I HUG PEOPLE MORE AND TELL THEM THAT I LOVE THEM. I FEEL THAT I AM ALMOST THERE - TO START THE CHANGES SO I CAN ENJOY ALL MY LIFE.
I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma stage IVb last April. I seriously thought my life as I knew it was over. But it wasn't. My husband and son took me to every chemo session (every two weeks) & while they waited a several hours for me to be done, their bond became much closer than before and their relationship strengthened and has never been better. In order to cope with the stress of the cancer diagnosis, I began to road cycle (just like Lance!) & with my husband, son, his fiancee, my daughter & son-in-law (sometimes) we cycled everyday. When I reached the milestone of a 30 mile ride, I was so elated. I never had a sick day during chemo & actually got in the best shape physically of my life. I finished chemo on Oct. 6th, 10 and I feel so lucky to be a survivor. I continue to cycle at least 3-4 times per week & I still love it! My family became much closer than ever before. My son is now in Israel finishing his Ph.D and we skype with him everyday. My husband & I now live in the day & we don't waste one beautiful day on any negative thoughts.
I was diagnosed with stage IIA breast cancer at age 26 in Jan. 2010. I decided after my mastectomy in March 2010 that I would look into nursing school. It had always been in the back of my mind but I did not pursue it when I had the opportunity to in college. I was miserable in the job that I held at that time and knew I would need to be making a change soon anyway. I never felt down or depressed during this time of my life either. I had finally discovered how happy I was just to be alive and how lucky I was to have found the lump on my own. I made sure that I kept finding things to laugh at during this time and I was usually focusing on how I could make others laugh so my diagnosis and treatment was more manageable for them. I finished chemo on my 27th birthday in June 2010 and by that time I had made up my mind that I wanted to pursue an associates degree in nursing since I already had a BA and an MA under my belt. I started my science pre-reqs in Jan. of this year and will by applying to a nursing program in Jan. 2012. I hope to be finished with my nursing program in Dec. 2013 if all goes well. I would like to work in oncology and one day be a breast cancer nurse navigator so I can give to my patients what I was given from my medical team: plenty of hope.
I was diagnosed with Stage 2 cancer a year ago at 51. I realized how miserable I was in my marriage, and that I couldn't think about being cured if I had to live one day longer with my husband. So, a week before my surgery, I moved out. My mom found me an executive apartment to live in, near the hospitals. I had to get rid of all of the cancer and that included my husband. It was the best thing I could have done for my health. I continued to work through my treatments and am still trying to get rid of my husband. I haven't considered myself married to him for years.
Cancer made me wake up. I consider myself cured: suppressing and denying my emotions is what got me sick. Feeling and experiencing and expressing those emotions and feeling alive are what has made me well.
I am struggling with what to do next. I have a cozy little apartment, a little flower garden out back and have just bought a community garden plot to plant some cutting flowers. I need to learn about the town I've lived in for 12 years that is still strange to me, I need to start meeting people since I've lived in isolation for so long. I am in a strong, loving relationship with a man who helped save me from the ordeal of going through all of this with a broken heart.
So, to answer the question: I just decided to start living.
After being diagnosed with my BC, I decided to take early retirement and to travel across our country, which I had always wanted to do. I had had cancer on my ovaries in 1978, low grade lymphoma in my colon in 2001, bc in 2002, beta cell cancer on my forhead in January this year, and a melanoma on my back two months ago.
I am awaiting the results of my pet/ct now, and know I will keep fighting. I want to see my grandchildren and great grandchildren grown.
Sometimes the sadness is overwhelming, but once I push it away, I say "I am here, and I will keep fighting". Living with cancer is not easy, but it is doable.
After being diagnosed with a rare cancer and being given a 30% change of a fatal recurrence at the age of 38, I decided that the things I was putting off until after my kids were grown might not be able to wait. Even though I was a total beginner, I started fiddling with a group, and the music and friendships there have provided a richness my life was lacking. I had been afraid of "offending" someone with my bad music, but was able to tell myself that if my time is limited, surely a few people wouldn't mind putting up with it if it meant that much to me. And if my time is not limited, well, by then I'll be a better player. So, two years later, I still don't know if my time is limited, but I have something amazing I wouldn't have had if not "freed" by cancer to take that leap.
During my chemo treatments I could not sleep very well, I'd wake up for hours in the night.I refused to let those negative thoughts fill my mind so I decided to plan something during those sleepless nights. I had always dreamed of hosting a 'Murder Mystery' party. So during those sleepless nights I planned a Murder Mystery plot and party. I planned it would be at the Plummer House in the era of 1930s in the setting of a Speakeasy. After nearly a year of planning every detail of the Murder Mystery I decided if the Plummer House was available on the Oct date I'd planned I'd actually go ahead with the party. It was available! The party was a huge success with 100 guests dressed in 1930 costumes, a concert pianist from New York flew in to entertain there, actors had a murder scene, my entire family got involved. It was a spectacular event. I called it a "Celebration of Life". I don't think I would have ever made that happen if I had not had cancer. People still rave about the best party ever....now 11 years later.
I was diagnsed with primary hypatoma.Surgeon removed the cancerous part and Since feb 2010 I have feeling fine.Last cat scan in feb 2011 did not show antthing .
I am a positive thinker.
But the people arround me think i am dying.
This disappopints me but I gnore it.I am going to be 75 in dec.
After I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer it took a while to get over the shock and feeling sorry for myself but I pulled myself together and started a "Bucket List" for all of the things I would like to do in my life. I think it is important to have goals and appreciate every moment you have on this earth and enjoy your loved ones, you will never get it back or a second chance.
Please look at this website, in particular
"Never Leave Your Wingman". It is the incredible story of a Stage IV cancer survivor.

Just from the guys fired today, the Panthers could find upgrades. I'd be interested in Lovie Smith and Ken Whisenhunt if I'm JJR.
Both Whisenhunt and Lovie have NFL experience, went to Super Bowls. Whiz with a QB, Lovie without.
In fact, you could say that Ken Whisenhunt was the winning coach in the last meaningful game in Bank of America Stadium (2008 playoffs).
Then you'd be wrong. Has that Pittsburgh link the old man digs, too. RT
This is a very interesting idea. On the one hand, Ken Whisenhunt has been an awesome OC/HC in the past and has done the best with the very little he has been given at the QB position. On the other hand, he has reportedly been involved in the QB debacle that has happened there, being in on the Kolb trade, etc.

About ECM
June 1 , 2012
Reviews of the Week
American reviewers are thrilled by Steve Kuhn's
Pianist Steve Kuhn and bassist Steve Swallow first played the title track of the new ECM album Wisteria together back in the early 60s. At the time both were members of Art Farmers band, who wrote the tune. The two have played together a number of times in the intervening decades, and have a warm rapport. The third member of the Wisteria trio is drummer Joey Baron, who appeared on Kuhns 2009 Mostly Coltrane project. Wisteria represents the first recording of this trio, and it is a great example of the three musicians playing at the top of their form. [ ] For a trio so well-versed in the downtown avant-garde scene for so long, these three musicians have pulled off a unique feat. Wisteria is both accessible and challenging, yet maintains a uniformity of excellence. It is an album that should speak to a wide variety of jazz fans.
Greg Barbrick, Blindedbysound.com
Pianist Steve Kuhns association with bassist Steve Swallow, with whom he reunites on Wisteria, goes back to the mid-60s. Thats when they played together in Art Farmers band and then in Kuhns trio. And as long as were talking history, can we point out that with the exception of Ahmad Jamal, no living jazz pianist of note has thrived in the trio format longer or with greater distinction than Kuhn? [ ] The recording marks the first time this trio has played together, and hopefully it wont be the last.
Lloyd Sachs, Jazz Times
John Abercrombie's
Within A Song
appeals to critics both in England and Switzerland
The guitarists precision, warm sound and ability to match tenor saxophonist Joe Lovanos free-floating invention reveal music of greater substance, with drummer Joey Barons restrained subtleties and the unobtrusive, firm-fingered bassist Drew Gress spurring and supporting each twist of Lovanos gruff, wispy and perfectly placed lines.
Mike Hobart, Financial Times
Auf Within A Song, seiner jüngsten Einspielung für das Münchner Label ECM, mitgeschnitten in den New Yorker Avatar-Studios, kehrt Abercrombie zurück in die Zeit, die ihn als Jüngling musikalisch geprägt hat: in die Jahre um 1960. [ ] Mit von der Partie sind auf dieser Quartett-Aufnahme Joe Lovano, ein Rubens des Saxofons, der feinfühlige Schlagzeug-Poet Joey Baron und der empathische Bassist Drew Gress. Ein reifes, rundes Album voller Überraschungen und keineswegs nur etwas für nostalgische Kenner.
Manfred Papst, NZZ am Sonntag
American magazine Jazz Times on
Year of the Snake
Tenor saxophone with bass and drums is a jazz format with a wild and woolly tradition. For tenor virtuosos like Sonny Rollins and Joe Henderson, trios have been opportunities to risk everything, to dance on a tightrope with no net. The tenor trio that calls itself Fly breaks with this tradition explicitly. Fly plays cerebral, rapt, interactive chamber jazz, deriving a wide range of textures and colors from three instruments. [ ] The music of Fly is sophisticated and sincere and enormously competent.

Choosing Your Ideal Size
In This Article:
Your ideal size is the size that feels the best, at which you have the most energy, the best health, and the highest self-confidence and self-esteem. In the following, you will learn several methods for determining your ideal size. We recommend simple strategies but also have included the preferred medical ways to select your size.
Beware the Scales
Thank goodness, scales are finally out of favor. More and more people and professionals understand the limitations of scales and are finding other methods for measuring body size.
A scale doesn't really tell you much that you don't already know, but for a perfectly harmless device in itself, a scale sure can alter a person's moods. If you get on a scale in the morning and have lost a pound, you can feel great about yourself all day. Inside, however, you may be wondering why it wasn't two pounds. If you have stayed at the same weight as the day before, you are doing fine, but on second thought, not all that well. If the scale reads more than yesterday, you feel like a failure, get depressed, and question the validity of your diet and your self-discipline. You probably also will question the accuracy of the scale! By the end of the day, you can descend into a dire sense of failure that cries out for food, glorious food, to soothe your lowered sense of self-esteem.
Scales scientifically measure your specific gravity in relationship to the earth. That's all. They do not tell you how you look or how much body fat you have. They don't measure what's truly going on inside your body. They only measure your weight at a very specific point in time; they tell you nothing about how you fit into your clothes. But try explaining that logic to a person who compulsively visits the scale six to eight times a day.
A woman who has plenty of healthy muscle mass may appear to be the same size as a woman who has a high percentage of body fat. Who weighs more? The first woman weighs more because muscle weighs more than fat. A cubic inch of muscle weighs more than a cubic inch of fat. Every cubic inch of fat you release and every cubic inch of muscle you gain will make you look thinner, although your weight may not go down.
As you do the strength-training exercises to increase your muscle tone and shape, you could end up weighing more than your goal—and looking better than your goal.
One middle-aged male client, Bill, came to his fifth class session delighted that he needed to purchase a new belt. He had lost about 5 to 6 inches from his waist, but he lamented that he hadn't lost any weight at all. What happened? Bill's new exercise regime and eating patterns resulted in lost inches. Many inches. The weight on the scale was not relevant. He was already at the size he wanted.
It might feel scary to not step on the scale daily. Get over it. If the scale is too tempting, put it in cold storage and haul it out once a year for an annual "weigh-in."
How Do Your Jeans Fit?
Jeans are rather unforgiving. They don't have an elastic waistband (at least, we hope they don't). They aren't made from some stretchy knit fabric designed to let you grow unhindered and unobserved. They are denim, rugged and classic denim. They don't budge for your bulges.
Do you have a favorite pair of jeans that you've saved because they once fit? Do you secretly long for the day when you can zip them up comfortably and know you look great? Save those jeans. They are your benchmark for how you are doing with your weight loss. Keep them for the rest of your life.
Now that you're heading toward your ideal size, try on your old favorite jeans every month or so. The jeans cannot lie. They're always the same size. As you progress toward your ideal size, you will easily see the progress you are making. When you finally fit into them, it's a real "hurrah!" moment, one you will savor and use for continual inspiration.
Lean Lingo
Whatever ideal size you choose, affirm you are that size frequently throughout your day. Say, "I now wear a size (insert your ideal size)." Say it even if you aren't at that weight yet. This may sound nuts to you. That's okay. Say it anyway. Affirm your ideal size as often as you think about it. This activity will propel you toward your goal.
Using the jeans method for determining your ideal size means you don't need to weigh in. Of course, it's not a scientific measurement. Do you care? If you need a target number, you might need another measuring stick. But many people who are already thin use this method to stay at their ideal size. The instant their jeans are tight, they are careful about food intake for a couple of days or weeks until their jeans once again fit comfortably.
Jeans make you feel sexy. They are youthful, fun, and speak loudly and proudly of your weight-loss success.

This sink is stunning! I designed a new build bathroom around this sink. The colors are rich and the design is outstanding. Very heavy -- have no worries about durability. Sits on knotty hickory cabinet with counter of 1x1 recycled content glass tiles using mostly greens also pulling a few red/orange tiles which brings out the color of the koi. Other good accent colors are cream or pale yellow, black and apricot (reminds me of an orange-cream icecream bar). There are variances of greens--none of which are turquoise or seafoam. The greens are more like seaweed and range from pale green to dark green--very rich colors! Note that there is no blue in this sink--it may be difficult to tell from the picture.It really is beautiful! The accent tile in the bath contain 1x1 natural stone and glass tiles with muted shades of green and brownish green. The salesman at the plumbing store where our contractor had us go said we got a very good deal on the koi sink. He didn't show us a single sink for under $400 which is why I am looking for more sinks on Overstock.com! (also, our plumber approved the koi sink saying it looked very well made). I used a single chrome faucet--be sure to get one that is the right height for the sink--this sink also looks great with oil rubbed bronze! Good luck on your projects!!
Order arrived on time & was packaged perfectly. This vessel sink is stunning. It's definately green, so don't hope for any blue as one reviewer stated. Glass was very thick & very well made, I couldnt find any flaws in it. I wasn't fond of the shiny chrome drain that came with it though. I thought it detracted from the serene beauty of the koi & pond, so I had to buy a seperate pop drain that was more earth toned (antiqued bronze). It made a big difference & really complimented the greens in the bowl. I wasn't worried about the extra cost of the drain b\c this was such a great value. A+
I just received my koi sink today & it is gorgeous! The sink is made out of very, very thick glass with a stunning koi scene. I read all of the reviews with the majority the buyers being very happy with their purchase before I made my purchase. Someone mentioned that the images in their sink were not clear but fuzzy. Mine is clear with very good detailing. Another buyer said that the sink was blue. It is definitely not blue but a dark forest green or emerald green. The colors are rich & deep & expensive looking. You will not be disappointed with this fabulous sink! The sink comes with a silver stopper which one buyer mentioned. She said that she purchased an antique bronze one instead. I agree with her & I plan on purchasing a antique deep gold or bronze stopper & faucet to go with the sink as it makes it look more expensive than the chrome one. I am moving in the future & this sink will go into a Japanese bathroom that I am planning along with a huge koi picture & a round wool rug with koi swimming in water that I already have for the room so the whole look will be stunning. This is my 6th purchase from Overstock & I have been extremely happy with all of my items & I am very particular & not always the easiest person to please. I would definitely recommend this gorgeous sink to anyone! Do not hesitate to purchase it. You will love it & so will everyone else!!!
I had to send this back. I have been wanting this sink for at least 3 years. I was so disappointed when I opened the box. There was no shading, the fish were solid orange. There was no detail to the fish as there is in the picture. It looked at if someone cut out a fish shape from construction paper. The lilies were just while and orange, none of the light yellow shown in the picture. You could see the pixels in the picture of the fish. It's like a bad photo glued between 2 layers of glass. The sink was very heavy and of good quality. The glass was very thick, and I don't think it would have broken. I just wish it was as pretty as the picture representing it.
This sink is beautiful! Very heavy and the design on both sides - inner and outer - of the sink really make it an outstanding addition to your bathroom. I have had so many nice comments on this sink and everyone is surprised at the price being so low. Great item!
This vessel sink is a real conversation stopper! Installed in sideboard we're using as a bar and put a pendant light over it. When lit, the bowl takes on a magical aura with the koi fish lit from the inside. I don't dare tell anyone how little I paid for it.
The sink is exactly as described. It installed easily and is a show piece in the bathroom.
My dear friend and nail tech redid her shop and with the oriental design she picked, this is perfect. Clients were blown away with this sink. It is so well done that many did not want to "dirty" it by washing their hands in it. A great statement piece in her salon.
Wanted to love this sink! It was for a guest half bath. When it arrived, the printed image, between the glass layers, was out of register, resulting in yellow and blue areas around the flowers, and the flowers were not "crisp." Returned it and am trying another option for that bathroom.
This is a nice, heavy bowl. It's a bit darker than pictured, but the details are there. Very happy with this purchase.

Comments about NIKE Girls' Grade School/Preschool Advantage Runner 2 Shoes:
When I bought these I assumed they would be preschool size because if the heading so I bought two pairs. One for my older daughter and my younger. I bought size 7 thinking it would be toddler sizing but I got a size 7 to fit an adult! Not sure why it says preschool/grade school if the sizing isn't for that option. It seems like a hassle to return too so I haven't.

Discussing: Review Etiquette Query
Review Etiquette Query
Message: 54540
26 Feb 12 12:21 PM
Original Post
General Audience
I like to think my reviews are fair.
I like to think I am not a fanboy for X/Y/Z/etc.
I like to think that the comments I leave- be they criticism or praise- are what are asked for in the FAQ.
However, I am currently re-evaluating being a reviewer.
Being told "if you didn't like it, maybe you shouldn't have reviewed it" by an author who disagreed with my evaluation of their work.
(These are not the exact words used, I grant you, but more how I translated the feedback to my feedback.)
Perhaps I'm over-reacting.
But perhaps I'm not.
Any of you folks out there care to comment?

Short answer - Authors are human and thus can say really dumb things. Your call on what you want to do about it.
Long answer - You've just rejected someone's work. Rejection hurts, even if it is accurate and delivered in an impersonal way. Not many people deal with rejection in a rational way (I know I don't) especially right when it happens. The temptation is to refuse to recognize anything legitimate in the criticism, to turn the critical evaluation back on the critic (You're stupid, you're biased, you only said this because you hate me, you shouldn't read what you know you won't like, it's YOUR fault that you don't like my work, etc.). Most authors, no matter how they feel, know to take a deep breath and resist that temptation. Some don't.
I every reason to believe that your review comments are acceptable, Aruthir, because I would be informed AT ONCE if there was something obnoxious in them. Whether I would agree with your judgments is a different question and frankly irrelevant. You are being solicited for your considered opinion on work X, not for my opinion or an opinion that meets with an author's approval. You alone cannot deliver a judgment about a story. It takes nine people to read, reflect and judge.
Turning the situation around, if you are not able to read responses from authors that strongly (and perhaps impolitely) reject your judgment on a story creating the same space for acceptance of rejection that every author is supposed to provide, then you should reflect on whether reviewing is something that suits your temperament and adds to your enjoyment of the site. It's an individual judgment - much like a review - and only you can say what your decision should be.
So, if you want to continue to review, please do. If you don't wish to continue reviewing, please don't. In either case, it's entirely up to you.

NORMAN - From delivering flowers to patients to providing funds for CPR education, Norman Regional's volunteers are vital members of the health system.
During National Health Care Volunteer's Week, which runs April 19 to April 25, Norman Regional Health System is thanking the 400 men, women and teens who serve their community by volunteering at the health system.
In 2009, volunteers spent more than 56,802 hours delivering flowers, escorting families, working at the gift shop and providing extra customer service to Norman Regional's patients, families and visitors. Because of the volunteer's spirit of giving, the Health System saved more than $840,000.
"Norman Regional is grateful to have a team of wonderful, caring individuals who donate their time to the health system," said Wendy Fiebrich, manager of Volunteer Services. "Our patients, visitors and staff appreciate these dedicated individuals and the difference they make in their community."
Not only does the Norman Regional Volunteer Auxiliary donate their time, members also donate money to fund departmental needs. Each year, the Auxiliary provides needed funds for items such as testing materials for speech therapy patients, software for pharmacists to use on their PDA's to show drug interactions, CPR supplies for staff education, automated external defibrillators, and much more.
The Auxiliary also supports the Hospitality House, which provides accommodations for Norman Regional patients and their families who live outside of the Norman area.
The Health System will thank volunteers by holding annual volunteer appreciation luncheons. Norman Regional Hospital will celebrate on Tuesday, April 27 with guest speaker Sherri Coale, coach of the University of Oklahoma's women's basketball team. Moore Medical Center will hold their luncheon on Thursday, April 29.
