Very informative, please keep it coming! Thanks.
Martians don't have Chuck Norris? Lucky earthlings.
I had some trouble reading (rereading) the following: "the coma has some grit in it, and at 55km a second a little grit can do a lot of damage." There seems to be a comma missing, perhaps after 'second'?
I don't think so. "The coma has some grit in it a little grit can do some damage" does not make sense. You are only obliged to put commas around little bits in the middle of a sentence if the sentence would make sense without them.
I reckon if we _don't_ nudge this comet into an impact with Mars we will be kicking ourselves for centuries at the missed opportunity to terraform the place.
Yes. And this is a way for the US to spend a trillion dollars that _won't_ result in the futile illegal death of hundreds of thousands of civilians.
Well, as they say up above, until the comet has passed around the sun, we won't really know where it will be and in what direction it will be going. Both necessary both to deliver the nudge and make sure it's in the right direction.
The impact is going to be visible during the day, so Mars and the comet will be at least between one and pi/2 A.U.'s (the full distance from earth to the sun) away. We don't have any manned craft that can travel that far, let alone back, and even for unmanned craft, it might be too late to get them scrambled, even with 14 months notice. That also assumes we have a plan, material, and manpower ready to go as of now.
Not to rain on your parade, if we could do it, we certainly should, but it's not like we just calculate a vector, shoot a nuke out of a silo in Nebraska or Siberia and watch the whole thing go down.
We've come a long way from the caves, but we don't have total mastery over time and space yet. Of course maybe if us godless scientists would stop teaching lies from the pit of hell about evolution and climate change, we could actually convince congress to give us money.

Yes - i know there is no way we could do it with current technology and timing (which makes me wonder if we could if it was heading to earth) - and i bet there would be a huge ethical argument too , about whether it is right to terraform at all. But it does seem like a missed opportunity to me.
Fascinating. Putting aside the possibilities of dangerous martian debris or a last minute change in direction towards us, to witness such an event would be amazing to say the least. Though Mars is the closest I ever want to see an explosion of that magnitude, here's hoping for a hit!
Article has minor error, the comet was imaged by our team yesterday, it's not hidden anywhere just yet -
If it were to hit I wounder how much heat will be generated and how long it would last? mostly because of radiant heat and how it would affect the environment and it i would effects the planet's speed around the sun and the rotation speed that makes a a mars day.
There are so many things on Earth that we don't understand, like the near alien climates at Lake Vostok. NASA's still extremely important of course.
this was one of the bests comments pages i ever read
I agree! no one is bickering about their respective country... science is such a leveller :D
But just think... what if it were a Chinese comet... or a gay marriage comet?
Err... yeah that would've made this one troll-infested comment section, wouldn't it? Would've almost robbed me of the joy of making up for missing the Shoemaker-Levy 9 crash..
PS: Gay marriage comet sounds VERY interesting!
Gotta feel kinda bad for the rovers... Opportunity is still chugging along despite everything mars has thrown at it only to be potentially wiped out by a giant comet. And Curiosity has barely begun her short life on the red planet. As an engineer I weep at the poor fortunes of these two rovers.
It would be awesome however if they where able to record the impact and its effects...it would be the ultimate sacrifice to science for our brave little rovers...and wouldn't it be better to remembered for a once in a lifetime event then to just slowly break down and go silent...
As it is said it would be a boon for astrology , it would be good to see from naked eyes, obviously curiously is more when these events happen.
I'm not sure what sort of benefit astrology would get from it, but astronomers sure would enjoy it!
Astrology would get a lot from it. >:(
Astrology would get a lot from it. >:(
I would not be as upbeat as this author. If debris could be blown off of Mars and into the path of Earth's orbit, this could become our problem.
As the author briefly noted, that is extremely unlikely. As unfathomably big as a 1 billion megaton explosion is, it isn't a directed explosion like a rocket launch. Very little, if anything, is likely to escape Mars' gravity after impact.
That would be one hell of an explosion to throw debris over 50 million km into Earth's orbit!
False. Debris from Mars due to impacts regularly lands on Earth. I have personally examined pieces of such Martian rocks.
And the pound or two of rock that the Earth is likely to receive from this comet impact over the next billion years certainly qualifies as "very little, if anything" debris.
No questioning that this is the result of Global warming....al gore
Lolz. Love it.
All of a sudden, I begin to think something is making a statement. Sort of like chimps flinging poo at tormentors in a zoo.
Please keep your head stuck in the sand (or your a*s), thanks.
With the recent near misses, and meteors, I rather think something is suggesting the human race pull it out.
To some corrections for the scale. The event that caused dinosaur extinction 65 megayears ago was puny compared to this. If this had hit to the Earth it would cause the biggest massextinction event in the history of life. Some humans would probably survive if they dig deep enough and long enough underground, but the surface would face complete heat sterilization and later deep freezing. Still I would rather floating in the upper clouds of Venus than Earth to be on a safe side.
There has not been this big impact event at the inner rocky planets after the late heavy bombardment in 3.9 gigayears ago. It would be one of the top 10 impacts on the Mars that have ever happened after the formation of Mars! Impact crater could be as large as 800 km wide and 10 km deep.
To be cynical towards the calamity that Mars is facing that if the impact happens (last probability that I heard was 1 in 7000), this would cause martian atmosphere to thicken and make it habitable after few decades when the molten rock has cooled. I would guess that the atmosphere pressure would be near Earth atmospheric pressure after the impact.
Good article anyway!
Thank you Dr Spacezoome for inventing the gigayear! Tighten your foil hat!
Actually, the term gigayear (gyr) is the equivalent of a billion (10^9 years). It is more commonly used by astronomers than a billion in order to avoid ambiguity across countries and cultures.
Even more appropriate, adding the term 'giga' to anything will give the same meaning... if i hold a giga-bananas any scientist or laymen with basic understanding of metric will know i have a billion bananas.
You are one sad, ignorant asshole.
"Cynical towards the calamity that Mars is facing" ? WT-? Mars is not sentient.
"...such a burst of warm, wet conditions over a substantial chunk of the planet would give [microbes] a brief chance to thrive at and close to the surface before the planet refroze."
Is anyone else having a "Rendevous with Rama" moment? Suppose - just for a moment - that there's much more life on Mars than mere microbes.
In that case they are in for the time of their lives if this comet should hit. Microbes tend to be hardier life forms than more complex beings... in the same way that cockroaches would survive a nuclear holocaust better than humans.
If cockroaches can survive a nuclear explosion, what the heck is in Raid??
But in seriousnesss, I don't mean to exaggerate their hardiness- while a nuclear winter would see a mass extinction, the hardiest creatures would be the simplest ones, as their requirements to live and reproduce are less complex than say, an elephant or a deer. Besides, have you ever tried to hit one of those fast little buggers? They can SENSE you coming.
The warnings are piling up. Should that object head towards Earth, we would be facing 20 billion megatons of energy. Something like that. It's just an estimate: the size of the comet is between 10 and 50 kilometers.
Since C/2013 A1, the comet on a collision course with Mars, is a hyperbolic comet and moves in a retrograde orbit, its velocity with respect to the planet is very high, approximately 56 km/s. That's higher than the sun liberation speed, so it looks extra-solar.
With the current estimate of the absolute magnitude of the nucleus M2 = 10.3, which indicates a diameter from 10 to 50 km, the energy of impact might reach the equivalent of staggering 20 billion megatons!
If the comet were heading towards Earth we would be scrambling to put together a lot of Uranium 235, and Lithium 7, for a bigger bang, in the monster fission-fusion-fission thermonuclear device we would be hastening to prepare. One of several (because we would need back-ups).
The next Ariane V would have to be modified hastily. That flight is already being assembled. It is Flight VA213, signifying the 213th launch of an Ariane from French Guiana since the family's maiden liftoff in 1979. Its Automatic Transfer Vehicle, named Albert Einstein, would have to be modified with a booster, interception electronic package and basically a boom system in the front to detonate fast enough the nuke in the back, at the staggering speeds involved, so that the bomb can explode at 3 meter depth in the comet... 200 megatons against 20 billion megatons. Fun. Unreal reality.
More details on my site soon. A foretaste: http://patriceayme.wordpress.com/2013/02/27/plutos-cosmic-impact/
Curious blog
Curiosity kills cats, and satisfies humans.
A fascinating thought. Would 200 megatons be more effective than say 5 40-megaton weapons? Better to have a computer failure aboard one of five weapons than your one big one. Plus the world has a-plenty of megaton-sized weapons laying about, most of which conveniently with a rocket attached, a steady stream of launches should be able to slow or change the trajectory of the comet such that it will miss it's mark on our tiny blue planet.
Dear Jason: I plan to write an essay on my site about that. For severe technical reasons, one huge explosion is better than several small ones. It's a question of the speeds involved, and the necessity to bury the explosion.
But one would need back-ups... For several reasons. More soon.
While that might be ideal, having a larger explosion, the necessity to fabricate a weapon that doesn't currently exist when much of the infrastructure to produce the material and fabricate the very sophisticated parts and shapes has been dismantled gives me pause. Much more practical then to use the thousands of weapons, at least hundreds of which are megaton plus size, and modify the delivery package to achieve depth. The US has extensive experience in the 'bunker busting' weapons, and if your goal is depth and payload, for the sake of practicality and quick deployment I'd have to believe that existing weapons with slightly modified launch vehicles would work quite well.
In short- nuclear bunker busters. A few already exist, and it shouldn't take nearly as long to modify ICBM's to penetrate deep into the comet than to fabricate large quantities of HE uranium or WG plutonium. ICBM's are in the current design built to withstand re-entry to the atmosphere, which is a completely different design need than the penetration of a comet.
You make many good points. It seems to me that if the present hyperbolic comet was heading towards Earth, one would have to do as you suggest, just put together a bunch of max warheads, as ONE device.
But that comet is heading to Mars. As it is, we have some time. I just suggest that a stockpile of U235 should be kept (under UN supervision) just for a bigger bang. As I said, I will write an essay on this, with pictures. Basic idea is to make a long vehicle, with a hard head, the nuke(s) in the back.
Bunker busters would be too heavy with the rocket(s) at hand, which are of Ariane V class (that one being the best).
Well if it hits Mars, there goes our billion dollar robots...mother nature!
But in the brief moments before their death they would have the most important data ever discovered
Some commenters suggest that a rational homo sapiens would try to mitigate against a cataclysmic event for the third rock from the sun. Perhaps there is a higher power that thinks it would be a good outcome to exterminate home sapiens and repopulate with a more benign species? Just a thought.
It would be kinda hypocritical of that higher power to devise a strategy for creating more benign species which involves violently whiping out an entire planet's life-forms.
Such hostile actions should be opposed then.
A higher power wouldn't conform to your infantile notions of "hypocrisy."
More benign species? Benign species do not survive. We are the best thing that ever happened to this planet.
But I suppose it would conform to YOUR notions of justice.
Rather, it would conform to you.
Or, should I say, YOU think YOU are that superpower.
And what about the Great Flood?
Maybe this will terraform mars enough to give us a place to migrate to...
yikes! One more planet to ruin... God forbid...oh wait...
First Jupiter is hit by Shoemaker Levy 9, then Mars by Siding Spring. Which planet is next in line?

I'm no one special. I'm not even on college, learning web development on my own. Ruby is my web programming language of choice alongside it's framework Rails and I'm doing a somewhat good progress with JavaScript and other tools like markup parsers (HAML) and stuff...
When programming, my objectives are to keep code simple and DRY while that doesn't interfere with performance.
There isn't a thing I hate most that developing on Windows. Archlinux and Xubuntu are my natural habitat. Not a great friend of IDEs and any kind of WYSIWYG like editors, I like to know what I'm doing, guess I had a bad experience with VB. :/.
I live struggling to achieve more deep and complex knowledge about informatics, and in this process found that sometimes the community, the books and the practice are the best teachers.

- Ethic: inherited from Kangaroo Point
Climbing at 'KP' has a long, rich history and the cliffs are used by a huge number of climbers of very varied styles and abilities. For these reasons ethics here are complicated. However here are some undisputed points:
- Avoid lowering off directly through the anchors. All lowering off and top roping should be through quickdraws attached to the anchors. If you are last then rethread and rap off to avoid wearing the anchors.
- Don't ever chip holds.
- Don't paint on any new initials.
- Retrobolting is acceptable only after consensus is reached with a large cross section of the 'KP' climbing community. New bolts that don't meet this criteria are chopped, often within a few days.

The Ravens and quarterback Joe Flacco still haven't worked out a long-term deal. Regardless of how the dominoes fall, assistant G.M. Eric DeCosta made clear during an appearance on Thursday's Pro Football Talk that the team plans on keeping Flacco around for the long haul.
"We have no intentions of letting Joe Flacco leave Baltimore," DeCosta said.
Still, DeCosta didn't put the chances of Flacco leaving at zero percent. "Probably negligible," DeCosta said.
So does that mean the Ravens will use the exclusive level of the franchise tag, if push comes to shove?
"We don't know that," DeCosta said. "We're not sure. We've had a lot of meetings, about three or four different scenarios, and I know that his agent, Joe Linta, and our cap guy, Pat Moriarity, will have some discussions in the next few days, over the next week, and hopefully we can get some things ironed out and at that point we can kind of move forward with what are plans are going to be if we can't get a deal done."

Save money and go with the Forest Written By NickN, New York, NY on Wednesday, February 02, 2011 The picture quality is exactly the same as the more affordable "Forest" model. I have tested both cables on the same television broadcasting in 1080p. The "Forest" cable was even the same quality as the more expensive line in the audioquest hdmi line (the "Chocolate"). No word on the top-of-the-line "Carbon". In short, save your money and go with the "Forest".
great cable Written By Eric, Birmingham,AL on Sunday, January 16, 2011 Last week I replaced my avr and needed a new HDMI cable. At the time I was purchasing a few other products here and the cinnamon cable was suggested so I went with it. Tonight I needed to do a return on another product that I changed my mind about using and thought why not see if I really needed to keep this cable. I had a free HDMI cable that came with our cable installation. So gathered the family around while I switched cables back and forth and played Quantum of Solace. It was just the opening seen moving across water and the start of a good chase/shoot scene. Without even needing to linger about which cable was better my wife says "Oh man that one". It was a sharper detailed picture with better color saturation and vividnous. Dynamic whatever. Maybe sound was better, sharper too. I didn't compare that when the picture was soooo much better. So, great cable like it will keep it.

Cumbria council accepts Government grant to freeze tax bills
Last updated at 09:34, Friday, 17 February 2012
County councillors have voted to accept a Government grant that will allow the authority to freeze council tax for the second-year running.
They approved the plan by a substantial majority yesterday at a full council meeting in Kendal which heard some impassioned debate about the merits and potential pitfalls of accepting the £5.1 million grant.
Leading the opposition to the plan was deputy leader of the council, Stewart Young, who argued that the freeze would ultimately lead to the loss of 200 council jobs.
He told the meeting that the Government grant would be a one off and would lead to problems for the authority next year.
Mr Young said: "In effect it will lead to a hole in our budget which can only be filled by charging a double council tax increase or finding extra savings or a combination of both.
"If the council accepts the council tax freeze grant this year, cabinet is recommending a council tax increase the following year of 3.5 per cent.
"That means that in addition to the £5.7m of savings which are currently unidentified for 2013/14, council would have to find an extra £3m to make up for the loss of Government grants."
Mr Young said the grants represented a trade-off between lower council tax today and further cuts in the authority's budget tomorrow.
Council leader Eddie Martin said town halls had a moral duty to freeze council tax for people who are struggling with household budgets and accepting the grant was something that it could directly control.
The meeting heard that the country was facing a financial tsunami which would not stop rolling for another three or four years.
Councillor John Mallinson endorsed accepting the council tax freeze grant, saying that he suspected Labour members of the county council had learned nothing from the trouble which the last Labour government encountered as a result of "adopting a reckless tax and spend policy".
He added: "I do not want to refuse £5m from the Government. I believe we should accept the public expenditure should reduce to a more manageable level than it has been in the past.
"We need to plan for the future and it will be a more austere future."
Councillor David Southward told the meeting that it would be tempting for the council to accept the Government's grant and bask in ephemeral electoral popularity, but the decision would have an effect next year.
He said: "Inevitably, essential services would have to go as well as jobs. If we accept this one-off grant it would make the problems more difficult year after year and in perpetuity.
"The police authority and Allerdale and Barrow councils have rejected this inducement and I implore you to reject this council tax freeze grant."
Councillor Keith Little echoed Mr Southward's comments and predicted that perhaps as many as 300 jobs could go in future years as a result.
Councillor Reg Watson said that community secretary Eric Pickles was giving money with one hand and taking it away with the other.
He said: "I think Mr Pickles is in a pickle and he's offered us a pig in a poke."
The public sector union Unison issued a statement before the vote telling councillors that accepting the Government grant would be a "vote for future cuts in jobs and services in Cumbria". The union added: "Rural counties like Cumbria rely on the public sector to sustain employment."
But 51 councillors voted in favour of accepting the grant while 22 voted against.

BARRE — A Waterbury teen has been accused of forcing a female relative to give and receive oral sex late last year.
Austin Hoyt, 16, pleaded not guilty to felony sexual assault without consent Thursday in Washington County criminal court in Barre. If convicted, Hoyt faces a maximum of life in prison and a $25,000 fine.
According to the Vermont State Police affidavit, Hoyt's mother, Amy Currier, told the Vermont Department for Children and Families that Hoyt had been sexually assaulting the relative, whose age was not given.
State police said the female relative told them Hoyt would come into her bedroom and tell her to take off her clothes, then would strip and lie on top of her naked.
She told state police she would comply with Hoyt's commands because she was "afraid he would hurt me" and later said he told her, "Don't tell or I'll hurt you," according to the affidavit.
The relative told state police Hoyt would touch her genitals and perform oral sex on her, police said. She also said Hoyt would instruct her to perform oral sex on him, which she did. She told state police the incidents happened four or five times.
When state police questioned Hoyt about the accusation, they said, he admitted lying naked on top of her, touching her breasts and genitals and putting his mouth on her genitals. He said she performed oral sex on him but denied asking her to do so, according to the affidavit.MORE IN This Just InWAITSFIELD An armed robber held up the Northfield Savings Bank on Tuesday afternoon, the second...

Build your sitemap
Image sitemaps
With Image Search, just as with Google Web Search, following Webmaster Guidelines and best practices for publishing images can increase the likelihood that your images can be found in Image Search results. Additionally, you can use Google image extensions for sitemaps to give Google more information about the images available on your URLs. Image sitemap information helps Google discover images we might not otherwise find (such as images your site reaches with JavaScript code), and allows you to indicate to Google images on your site that you want Google to crawl and index.
To give Google information about images on your site, you'll need to add image-specific tags to a sitemap. You can use a separate sitemap to list images, or you can add image information to an existing sitemap. Use the method works for you!
For each URL you list in your sitemap, you can add additional information about important images on that page. The following example shows a sitemap entry for the URL http://example.com/sample.html
, which contains two images.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
You can list up to 1,000 images for each page, using the syntax outline in the example above!

Milk Chocolate - 1/9/2015 2:43:28 PM I never thought of wearing a brown polish. I'm a fan of SpaRitual ..saw this at a good price..so I went for it. Glad I did! This shade is on the cool side...like milk chocolate with a soft shimmer.A lovely polish!!!Favorite Color - 6/1/2013 6:55:27 AM This is the perfect shade of dark navy blue. I am a faithful sparitual user and "Surreal" has become my signature toenail color for the last 3 years. I use "idyllic" on my fingernails - the perfect shade of a natural pink. Fantastic product.Best Nail Polish Purchase Ever - 5/8/2013 6:08:22 PM I tried the color at a spa. I purchased it, XOXO:)Good product - 5/3/2013 5:39:21 PM I am using this, already see a difference with half of bottle.Best Nail Tool I've Ever Found! - 3/31/2013 3:36:09 PM I have tried every brand and type of nail file imaginable: regular emery boards of all brands and costs, glass files, metal files, you name it. Honestly, I've never found much of a difference between brands and types of emery boards. After trying just about everything, I usually settled on a well known drugstore brand's nail files. They worked well enough, or so I thought, and I used them for decades. Like all other "regular" emery boards, the ones I had been using wore out fairly quickly. The edges always wore out first and the centers of these files always seemed somewhat useless since you couldn't use them unless you cut the files in half and kept using fresh edges. Then, on a whim, I tried these seemingly overpriced SpaRitual files. I didn't expect anything different or special at all. I was simply out of emery boards and since I was placing an order for some other nail care items, I added on both types (coarse and regular grit) of these files. Then...I used these files and wow!!! I was completely blown away by how beautifully these SpaRitual files work! These files make the quickest, easiest, most perfectly precise work of nail shaping - something I always considered to be the most tedious and difficult of all mani/pedi steps. I literally shaped all 10 fingernails in minutes with the very best results I'd EVER had. I can't really explain how or why these files work so spectacularly. The grit is impressive. I use the coarser files (also sold here, specified for use on toenails or rougher nails) for my toenails and for filing off major length if needed. I use these (finer grit) files both for my fingernails and to smoothly finish my toenails after using the coarser grit files on them. Mind you, you can still get a very accurate shape from the coarser files, but I'm a perfectionist when it comes to nail grooming so this is an extra step that I utilize but it's not necessary. These files are ergonomically designed, fit perfectly in the hand, are very strong and lasting, and have excellent angles that make nail shaping incredibly quick and easy. You may scoff at the price of these nail files and think, like I did, that all files are pretty much the same. But if you just try these once I think you will clearly see how much better these files work than any others you've ever used. They are extremely durable and much larger than other files, which makes them a better value than you might assume. But above all else, these files work like no other. More than anything I'm impressed by what quick and precise work these files make of nail shaping. These files couldn't possibly be improved upon. I will NEVER use anything else other than these again. Try them and see!Best nail polish - 3/2/2013 5:17:31 AM This is my first purchase of this nail polish line and I love it! The polish lasted days and much of my work requires computer use. I was a Chanel nail polish user, but I am a convert to this line. I will definitely purchase more SpaRitual nail polishes,- 2/7/2013 11:18:25 AM I usually buy cheap nail files, but after using the SpaRitual's I may not go back. Just be careful which files you select. The course ones are really course but the mid/fine are greatExcellent product! - 9/11/2012 7:29:45 AM I live on the beach and for years tried many products, this ends my search! The best I have tried. I apply after showering and feels like a pedi when I wake in the morning.Nice Stuff - 6/11/2012 2:24:55 PM Anything I buy from Sparitual is a pleasure to use and does what it says it will do, E---- was my favorite, beautiful colors. But now only Sparitual for me.Great color, long lasting - 4/2/2012 7:26:29 AM I can't say enough about sparitual. I have always been an OPI customer, thinking that it was the best nail polish on the market. That was until I found sparitual. It is a fantastic polish. This color is beautiful. It's extremely versatile and goes with many outfits. Would definitely recommend this one. -

I purchased these gloves for my daughter, who had rec'd 3rd degree burns in October on her hand. The 1st glove that was made for her to wear was too small, the 2nd one, she was still having trouble with. She said, "these gloves feel so much better and she's like them very much and is wearing every day.

About Me Average Health
I use the product when driving, after a day of typing and at night when I sleep. Within five minutes the pain is usually gone. On the days I forget the glove at home a immediately put them on when i get home and because they make my hands feel so good I sometimes sleep with them on. I even bought a pair for my sister who does prep work in a kitchen and she loves them. Happy hands = a happy life.

They were nice and soft and comfortable to the skin. Some people said the seams were rough, mine were fine.I would use mine for typing when my fingers get so cold and go numb. The warmth would help them from going numb.

By donna3458

I wear a size 8 women's glove and purchased both medium and large gloves to try. right away the stitching on the end of the fingers was sticking out looking frayed and just plain messy in appearance. the fingers were too long and the body of the gloves even on the large size was way too tight. had to take them off in less than an hour and i haven't had to courage to try again. my hands are only slightly swollen due to arthritis in my wrist. worst buy in along time. must return them on pay day. these are bad news for anyone!!!!!

I like these gloves....but, I have to wear them inside out, because the seams are hurtfull. Also, when I washed them, the sewed part threads are coming apart. and....I wear gloves most of the time and I find these too pricey to have multiple pairs. But... The compression is wonderful and they keep my hands warm, so I only wear them to sleep.
Simply wonderful!

They are extremely effective as I use them in place of gauze sleeves with my hand/forearm splint. After multiple washes they still look likenew!

A boy was walking along the beach, picking up starfish that had been washed ashore, and throwing them back into the ocean.
A man came up to the boy and asked what he was doing.
The boy said, "I'm throwing starfish back into the ocean. They will die if they stay out of the water."
The man remarked, "But there are hundreds of starfish! What possible difference does it make?"
The boy smiled, looked at the starfish in his hand, and flung it into the ocean.
He replied, "It makes a difference to THIS one."

Nice dress but not for me
Ordered this in black. I wear a 10 but go up in size depending on the style of dress due to my large chest size. This is a beautifully well made dress but it did not fit me well. I wish I did since this is a classic style dress that every girl needs... alas, I'm still on the quest for my perfect LBD.
August 18, 2013
great work staple
A great dress to wear to work- goes with just about anything. One thing though- the short sleeves and the thicker material make it difficult to determine which season to wear it in. Wearing this on a 90-degree day would be pretty uncomfortable.
August 15, 2013
I got this item in black, and it is great for work. I am a bit more busty and my shoulders are probably a little more broad than most people my size, so it fits me perfectly. I am 5'2, so the length was not too short for me to use this in a professional setting.
July 25, 2013
Sexy and Flattering
I almost didn't try it on because it looks like a typical black dress but I am glad I did! It's a thicker material as noted. I am 5'5" and always wear a size 8 and it's true to size. I love the length on me. All I need is a chunky necklace.
July 24, 2013
A Square Fit that was Too Boxy
Really really wanted these to fit like they do on the model...ordered my normal dress size and when it arrived I was surprised this is a heavier weight dress but that's ok because it would hold through on all seasons. Then I tried it on...the shoulders were way too boxy and loose and the rest of the fit was just a little more snug than normal. Had to return them.
July 6, 2013
A little short
Too short for me, but I am tall. Fits true to size. The watermelon pink is a little too much, but the dress could be cute in black. Also would fit a shorter person very well. I needed an 8 and I'm 5 10 and 147lb
July 5, 2013
Too high waisted
Love the neckline on this dress, and it is a really nice fabric, but like many dresses, the waist are just hits too high on me and the fit is off as a result. If the waist were dropped just an inch or two, it would fit much better and I would love it as much as the other reviewers - so for other longer torso'd ladies out there - might not fit quite right. Otherwise, a very nice dress.
July 2, 2013
Love This Dress
Fits PERFECT and true to size. Beautiful fabric and color.

Due to unforeseen events, I ended up on my own for lunch on Tuesday, so I did what many downtown workers do. I found a book on the Bennett Martin Public Library new books display. I chose "American Boy" by Larry Watson because I'd so enjoyed his "Montana 1948" several years ago.
I started it over an Oso Burrito lunch, and was amazed when I'd reached page 40 with burrito remaining. I ditched many evening tasks to keep reading at home. I got up at 4:30 Wednesday morning and finished it off, all the way to the final paragraph on page 246. Thank you, Larry Watson, for writing a fairly short novel.
Matthew Garth narrates this story, which happens in Willow Falls, Minnesota, in 1963. Anyone who grew up in a small town will recognize Watson's sense for the rhythms of small town life.
Matthew's an only child, his father died when he was eight, and his mother waitresses in town. She takes a pretty hands-off approach to parenting. Matthew realizes that as long as he stays out of big trouble, she's okay with it.
He has attached himself to his best friend's family, and been taken in by the Dunbars. Dr. Dunbar has cachet--he's a doctor, he's from out of town, and he's handsome. Matthew looks up to him, and pictures his own future in medicine because of him.
The equilibrium of the Dunbar home gets upset when Louisa Lindahl, a young woman who comes into Dr. Dunbar's care when her boyfriend shoots her on Thanksgiving, moves into the Dunbar home. Matthew becomes obsessed with Louisa, and when he realizes that she doesn't have her eyes on him, his own eyes are opened.
There are several aspects of "American Boy" that remind me of "Montana 1948." They include a narrator looking back on his experience as a rough-edged young man, an experience that includes a degree of isolation, remarkable observational skills of how men behave, and how others, especially women, respond to them. In particular, there's a sense of how men in power use or abuse their situation. There's engagement with physical violence.
Watson tells the story in a chronological straightforward manner. I attribute some of the speed in my reading to his excellent writing--he gets out of the way. And yet he develops characters. He lets the story roll out at a pace that makes sense. He reveals depth in what could have been simply a tawdry story.
I'll recommend this to readers who love fiction, who appreciate stories about America's heartland, and to people who especially enjoy a coming-of-age story. This is a great book group choice--there's plenty to discuss. I look forward to talking this over with others, and so am eager to get the word out about it.

Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
I work for a dietary supplement company in Oakland,CA and have been in the natural products industry for several years. Both my customers and I appreciate how the passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 improved consumer access to dietary supplements and information about them, while increasing consumer protection against unsafe products and false and misleading claims. I am concerned that FDA has only just begun to initiate aggressive enforcement actions under DSHEA, yet is calling for suggestions for increased legislative authority in order to bbetter regulate the supplement industry. Shouldn't you first give these recent efforts a chance to work, and perhaps even issue good manufacturing practices for supplements, before calling for new laws? Simply put, I believe that the agency can regulate ephedra without dismantling DSHEA. It is also my understanding that DSHEA increased FDA's enforcement powers and that FDA can seize a dietary supplement if it presents an unreasonable or significant risk of illness or injury. Furthermore, the government can stop the sale of an entire class of dietary supplements if they pose an imminent public health hazard. The former FDA commissioner, Dr. Jane Henney, has even stated before Congress that she believes that DSHEA provides FDA with the necessary legal authority to protect the public health. I agree with Dr. Henney, strongly support DSHEA, and do not think any additional legislative authority is necessary. Sincerely, Ashley Taylor Oakland, CA

Great album!! The beginning of a new era. More agressive, more complex and deeper than before. Tom began to scream like a maniac on this album, what brought a new level of aggression to the slayer music! The opener riffs of the title track are awesome! PAul did a briliant job on this one! Great songs by King, like Killing Fields, sex, murder art and Ditto head! One of my favorites!
In 1987 slayer changed my life forever. When I was only 5 years old and listen, to the very first time, TO THE MIGHT ANGEL OF DEATH. Since then I always bought every single release of them ( Cds, singles, dvds, vhs). My favorite album is God Hates us All ( together with seasons in the abyss), because of the inner chaos that it brougth to me evereytime that i Listen to it. I love the two songs that were already released from World painted Blood, and I can hardly wait for the whole album. BUT, something need to be done in the drums MIX.Read more

After the dance
April 01, 2004, 06:53:54 AM »
Name: Danu Raven Nightshade
Age: She's not going to tell you!
Height: 5'7
Weight: How dare you ask!
Location: The pussycat angels club
Specie: Half demon
Specialities: Burlesque dance acts, stealth killings
Give us a little info about your character: Danu goes by her first, middle, or last name; it
doesn't matter either way to her. She was origionally a full demon, but a curse upon her changed
her into a half human. It was supposed to have turned her demonic side altogether, but she just
didn't have the humanity in her to be a human. She is immortal, though she will not tell anyone
just exactly how old she is. She works for a group called the pussycat angels; a sexy dance
group that specialises in burlesque dance routines. When she is not working, she can be employed
as an assassin, as she specialises in stealth killings. She has a unique fighting style that
ninja's have tried to copy for centuries, though she sometimes uses dark chi.
Her mortal ally is the raven, and her feathered friends are happy to help her whenever she calls.
Sometimes though, she will just kill and cause destruction for the fun of it!
Anyway's there's the char, now for the story!
Danu slipped behind the heavy, red velvet curtain as the stage lights dimmed. The crowd had been great tonight, though the pussycat angels always had a full audience.
She changed out of fishnets and corsets, and slipped into something a little less comfortable- a figgure hugging dress.
She waved good night to her dance mates, and headed down the stone steps into the dark night. She almost hoped a theif would jump her, it had been too long since she had made her last good kill, and employment had been low recently.
There was a good tavern down the street that she often frequented, and would do so tonight.
The moon was high in the night sky, and her heels echoed off the cobbled stones. She had a slight sense of de'ja'vou, but that wasn't really unusuall. She had, afterall, walked down streets like this, and nights like this, for centuries.
The bar was just beggining to fill when she entered, and she recieved a few
whistles as she sashayed past some men and up to the bar.
"Anything hard."

Name: Daru
Age: 19
Height: 5'11
Weight:198 lbs
gender: Male
Specie: Human
Specialties: Psychic abilitys,axe skills
Daru goes by his only known name, his parents were killed by a demon as a child of 4, he lived on his own with his two 1 and a half foot axes and his psychic powers. He has vowed to kill any demon he finds, good or evil, full demon or half. He searches for the demon that killed his family on his dragon and kills all demons on the way. His dragon is 20 feet long and pure white, whenever Daru is in trouble, he backs him up.
Daru sensed a demon in the area and was journeying to find it. "There, at that tavern." and instantly his dragon swooped down and they were there. "I'll go inside" he said as entering the tavern. He looked around trying to find the demon, and getting ready to pull out his axe.

Danu felt a chill run up her spine, the way it always did when something that could put her in danger was behind her. She turned slowly, her eyes scanning the room suspiciously. Everything seemed normal. People drinking in the alcoves, a small tussle breaking out down the bar over some whore. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Then someone walked in though the doors and alarm bells began to ring in her head. All of her demon senses were telling her that this child was trouble.
Making sure not to bring any attention to herself, she made her way down towrds the washrooms, all the time hugging the shadows of the wall. She slipped through the door with a rough
scratched into the already flaking wood.
The foul smell of excretion assulted her hightened sense of smell and caused her to gag.
A window just large enough for her to climb out of (and she'd done it plenty of times to know) was closed on the furtherst wall. She rammed it open and squeezed her form though, her red dress ripping in the process.
Outside the night breeze hit her and she shuddered happilly for she prefered the cold. Around the corner she though to peace, only to find a white dragon waiting in the square. It hadn't noticed her yet. She turned to walk the other way...

The dragon took a small sniff, then a larger one and abrubtly turned toward Danu and howled a horrible howl that cut the night air. Inside, Daru heard the howl and emidiatly ran to the door, pushed it open and drew his axes. The moment he saw Danu he took after her, his dragon right behind...

Danu growled angrily. She could fight the human, but with a dragon on her tail too, she knew she would have a problem. Danu looked around for the nearest pot hole and thanked her luck that there was one just too her right. She veered sharply away, into the thick shadows of the night, hoping that she had been able to throw her persuers off guard for the brief moment she needed to get underground. It wasn't hard to remove the metal covering, afterall-she was half demon!
The footsteps were moving closer, and not wasting time, she crawled into the hole, down into the murky sewer below...where the dragon would not be able to help its master...

Using his telpathic powers, Daru throws the cover aside with his mind. "If I get into trouble, I'll yell, then you know what to do." Daru said as he slipped down into the hole. The dragon nodded in understanding. Daru took out his axes, ready for anything...

Danu turned now. She wasn't about to flee from a lone human with an axe or two. She's been killing for centuries and some boy wasn't about to scare her into running- not in these heels anyway! She looked mournefuuly down at her ripped dress, knowing that if she changed her form, the dress would be lost to her...and this was one of her favourites... He would pay!
"Come then, little boy," she taunted, "I shall make a new dress, from your worthless hide. And then I shall use your
to make a handbag!"
Her dress ripped up the seams as her muscles bulked and bones popped. Her skin changed from a soft ivory hue to a deep shade of blue black, with deepest blood red running in stripes up her arms like the stripes of a wild cat. Her eyes flashed from summer green eyes, to piercing molten flames, pupils slit like a predators. Teeth grew into elongated fangs, and nails sharpened into wicked claws. From above the hollow of her back, wings grew, feathered like an angel, black like her demons soul.
"Come," she growled, "come meet your doom in these dark sewers tonight."
Heaven bows to me. Hell worships me.

"They can never do it the easy way...Oh well." As he walked toward her objects all around him started to hover around him. Tapping into his telekinesis everything he passed started to hover around him, and his hazel eyes chandged to a cold icey blue with the entire eyes this color. "I'm afraid it will be you meeting your doom in these sewers."

She laughed at this. A whelp with a few axes was procalimer her doom. He probably thought he was the first to come after her with telekinesis, thought that he held some kind of advantage over her.
Well he was wrong.
A downward stroke from Danu's wings took her up into the air, making no more noise than a whisp of passing air. She kept close to the ceiling, passing above his head. She was certain he hadn't seen her. How could he? She was master of the shadows, master of stealth.
She landed silently behind Daru, and with a blindingly fast swipe, made to slash him across the back of his neck.
One thing the boy should have realised- when fighting a demon, make sure she's not faster than a set of axes, and she's not an adept at killing hunters like himself!

Daru sensed the movement at used the debris to form a wall between him and Danu."Do you really think it's that easy?" He said, smiling as he turned to her. With that he swung both of his axes downward at her head, the wall parting to let him through.

Danu dodged faster than he could swing, his axe blade just catching the tips of her thick hair. She misjudged him, but the same mistake would not be made again. "How long have you been fighting, child? Your blows are so easily predicable. If you leave now I will not come after you. If you don't," she shrugged, "I will tear your telekinetic powers from your nose with the end of your own axe. What would you prefer?"

"I've been fighting for thirteen years." In the blink of an eye all the floating debris lifted up and rained down on all of the that area of the sewer."I'm not your ordanary psychic!" he yelled with a laugh.

Name: Ravin
Age: Unknown
Height: 5"11
Weight: Unknown
Gender: Male
Species: Vampire/Fallen Angel
Specialties: Hand-to-hand (and weapons) Combat, Counter-attacks, multiple Enemies, Enchanting, and a few (psychic?) abilities that originate from the amulet he wears.
Ravin's true name is never used. The word "Ravin" means outcast in a forgotten tounge. He has a lot of strengths and a lot of weaknesses. he has been alive for millennia. He wears a cloak and a cape of solid black.
Ravin hires himself out as a mercinary agent to anybody who will pay his price. he is not cheap.
"Enough!" echoes a voice from somewhere in the tunnel. "If you two wish to kill each other, you will do it outside of the city limits".

Daru laughed at this. "Now!" he yelled and quickly covered himself with a psychic shield. At the surface, his dragon stuck his snout in the manhole and blew hard. Fire instantly flooded the sewer.

The entire Tunnel fills with light from the great blast of fire. Ravin is clearly seen a good ten yards down the tunnel standing slightly off to the side. In an instant, he reacts, wrapping his cape around him and lifts off of the ground. afterwards, smoke and the heavy stench of charred brick fills the air. The air however is no longer available, and the last breath of air is now very scarce. (anybody who actually breathes oxygen will need to get out of the tunnel, or produce some oxygen to breath some other way).
The sound of shattering glass can be heard from next to Daru's feet. suddenly a high pitched sound filles the air. (not only is it impossible to hear movement, but the sound will cause migraines to anybody who is not resistant to sound, or who does not cover their ears)
OOC: just so you know, i am not making anything up as i go. all equiptment and abilities used are pre-set by myself before i introduced the character to you guys.

The shield covering Daru had kept in enough oxygen to breath and was resistant to the sound. Daru looks up at his surroundings and wonders where that demon girl went.

The sound continues to whine on in its high pitched squeel making all hearing impossible. Ravin, unseen by light, and unheard by sound launches himself towards Daru with a Katanna drawn and pointed towards Daru at an intense speed.

On approach, Ravin shifts to the side and cuts sideways. Daru notices that the blade of the sword, although not strong enough to break the psychic shield, is enchanted in such a way that would allow it to cut through any kind of armor with incredible ease. a second later, another glass vial breaks, and a psychic leach attaches itself onto Daru's shield

Ravin, seeing the dragon, throws a poison gas potion at the roof right next to the creature. it explodes sending poisonous (and very painful if it get in your eyes or if it is breathed) in a good ten yards in both direction, enveloping the face of the dragon as well as the now oxygen-less tunnel

Measles, also called rubeola, is a highly contagious respiratory infection that's caused by a virus. It causes a total-body skin rash and flu-like symptoms, including a fever, cough, and runny nose. Though rare in the United States, 20 million cases occur worldwide every year.
Since measles is caused by a virus, there is no specific medical treatment and the virus has to run its course. But a child who is sick should be sure to receive plenty of fluids and rest, and be kept from spreading the infection to others.
While measles is probably best known for its full-body rash, the first symptoms of the infection are usually a hacking cough, runny nose, high fever, and red eyes. A characteristic marker of measles are Koplik's spots, small red spots with blue-white centers that appear inside the mouth.
The measles rash typically has a red or reddish brown blotchy appearance, and first usually shows up on the forehead, then spreads downward over the face, neck, and body, then down to the arms and feet.
Measles is highly contagious — 90% of people who haven't been vaccinated for measles will get it if they live in the same household as an infected person. Measles is spread when someone comes in direct contact with infected droplets or when someone with measles sneezes or coughs and spreads virus droplets through the air.
A person with measles is contagious from 1 to 2 days before symptoms start until about 4 days after the rash appears.
Measles is very rare in the United States. Due to widespread immunizations, the number of U.S. measles cases has declined in the last 50 years. Before measles vaccination became available in the 1960s, more than 500,000 cases of measles were reported every year. From 2000 to 2007, just an average of 63 cases per year was reported.
However, in 2008 the United States saw an increase in measles cases and outbreaks (three or more linked cases), with 131 cases reported between January and July. More than 90% of those infected were not immunized or their immunization status was unknown.
The most important thing you can do to protect kids from measles is to have them vaccinated according to the schedule prescribed by your doctor.
Infants are generally protected from measles for 6 months after birth due to immunity passed on from their mothers. Older kids are usually immunized against measles according to state and school health regulations.
For most kids, the measles vaccine is part of the measles-mumps-rubella immunization (MMR) or measles-mumps-rubella-varicella immunization (MMRV) given at 12 to 15 months of age and again at 4 to 6 years of age.
Measles vaccine is not usually given to infants younger than 12 months old. But if there's a measles outbreak, or a child will be traveling outside the United States, the vaccine may be given when a child is 6-11 months old, followed by the usual MMR immunization at 12-15 months and 4-6 years.
As with all immunization schedules, there are important exceptions and special circumstances. Your doctor will have the most current information regarding recommendations about the measles immunization.
The measles vaccine should not be given to these at-risk groups:
During a measles outbreak, an injection of measles antibodies called immune globulin can help protect people who have not been immunized (especially those at risk of serious infection, such as pregnant women, infants, or kids with weakened immune systems) if it's given within 6 days of exposure. These antibodies can either prevent measles or make symptoms less severe.
For women who are not pregnant and people not in one of the other at-risk groups mentioned above, the measles vaccine may offer some protection if given within 72 hours of measles exposure.
The measles vaccine occasionally causes side effects in kids who don't have underlying health problems. The most common reactions are fever 6-12 days after vaccination (in about 5%-15% of kids vaccinated) and a measles-like rash, which isn't contagious and fades on its own (in about about 5% of vaccinated kids).
There is no specific medical treatment for measles. To help manage symptoms, which usually last for about 2 weeks, give your child plenty of fluids and encourage extra rest. If fever is making your child uncomfortable, you may want to give a non-aspirin fever medication such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Remember, you should never give aspirin to a child who has a viral illness since the use of aspirin in such cases has been associated with the development of Reye syndrome.
Kids with measles should be closely watched. In some cases, measles can lead to other complications, such as otitis media, croup, diarrhea, pneumonia, and encephalitis (a serious brain infection), which may require antibiotics or hospitalization.
In developing countries, vitamin A has been found to decrease complications and death associated with measles infections. In the U.S., vitamin A supplementation should be considered for children between 6 months and 2 years old who are hospitalized with measles and its complications.
Also, all kids over 6 months old with certain risk factors — such as vitamin A deficiency, a weakened immune system, or malnutrition — might benefit from vitamin A supplementation.
Call the doctor immediately if you suspect that your child has measles. Also, it's important to get medical care following measles exposure, especially if your child:
Remember that measles, a once common childhood disease, is preventable through routine childhood immunization.

#1 One who is two faced and can never be trusted. #2 One who will steal his employer's welder ,then sell it to a person he says is a friend,then tell his employer who has it. #3 One who will say he never seen your wallet with $600.00 dollars cash in it even when you actually see your wallet on the car seat as you close the door and he is driving away quickly! #4 One who acts like he is not afraid to "Handle the situation" during phone conversations or sending a email,but in fact he is terrified of the one day he is gonna get tossed like a rag-doll.
"FACEMAN" when someone is calling you on the crap that you pulled in the past,and says that you need to "Be a man,and do the right thing!" your mommy pokes her head into the garage and says "Is everything OK out here?" you say "I can't stand tweakers." Although, the biggest tweaker in the world is yourself.

A person with incredible genetics. It is neither something that can be created or worked at, but rather inherited. It can be so strong that it invokes jealousy amongst others.

P2: That's true. And he'll always be a Faceman.
P1: You're right. let's have a Budlight.

A New Yorker with a heart of gold and testicles of bronze. Known for making movies and providing emotional, physical, and sometimes sensual support for the elderly and poverty-stricken Pilipino boys. Smells of waffles and occasionally hangs large phallic objects from trees. Should not be trusted.
I'm pro-abortion because of Faceman.
