Aquariums bring a sense of serenity and beauty to any room. From dentist offices to living rooms and bedrooms, aquariums have been known to help with the relief of stress and even insomnia. Whether you are watching exotic freshwater fish or saltwater fish swim from one side of the tank to the other or witnessing the graceful movements of brightly colored freshwater tropical fish as they feed, fish are extremely enjoyable to watch. While some marine hobbyists don't mind the maintenance of a saltwater tank, other aquarists prefer the simplicity of maintaining a freshwater tank as there are many species of freshwater aquarium fish that are delightful to observe, such as Angelfish, Kissing Gouramis, Cichlids, Tetras, Mollies, Bettas, Swordtails, Platies and Goldfish. When starting out, it's imperative to learn which species of freshwater aquarium fish can cohabitate together to ensure a peaceful and comfortable place for your fish to thrive. Meanwhile, you should always take the size of your freshwater tropical fish into consideration when selecting the size of your freshwater aquarium, as some species require more space than others. Take advantage of the freshwater fish specials offered on PETCO.com and add the charm and beauty of exotic freshwater fish to your home!
Of the freshwater aquarium fish available at special low rates are various Goldfish. With their black velvety appearance, egg-shaped body and distinctive protruding eyes, Black Moor Goldfish are quite popular exotic freshwater fish as they are easy to maintain and do well living with other species of Goldfish. Boasting similar egg-shaped bodies that are pearly white, Red Cap Oranda Goldfish have a distinctive bright red, raspberry-like hat on top of their heads. Native to the freshwaters of Asia, both species best thrive with other slow swimmers in a Goldfish tank, opposed to a freshwater tropical fish tank.
Another species of freshwater aquarium fish on sale are Bettas. Also known as Siamese Fighting Fish, Bettas are praised for their strikingly bright colors and spectacular fins. There are Crowntail Bettas with single or double ray patterns as well as Halfmoon Bettas that have large tails in the shape of a half-moon. While these exotic tropical fish are beautiful and easy to maintain, two males cannot be housed together as they have been known to attack one another. Take advantage of the low prices on various species of freshwater tropical fish and add more appeal to your freshwater aquarium today!

Kidoumaru is another one of the Sound Four, the elite bodyguards of Orochimaru. Kidoumaru has one noticeable feature, he has 6 arms. Each of his arms is used in controlling his web type of attacks on people. He can use it to control his webs and stretch them out.
Kidoumaru is the rowdy guy of the Sound Four, he enjoys playing games and playing with his enemies before he kills them. He is the main one who uses his webs to protect the Sound Four and Orochimaru. The webs can be used defense-wise and offense-wise. Kidoumaru has a special type of metal like liquid which runs throughout his body. He can use this liquid to make his webs as well as when it reaches out side of his body it automatically starts hardening with the chakra which flows with in him.
Kidoumaru is one who likes to use spiders and their attacks in his attacks, when we see him fighting Neji he uses spiders to attack him while having the ability to summon a huge unidentified spider which attacks Neji.
Kidoumaru is a tough one from the Sound Four and his weakness is he takes too long to finish his objectives since he likes to play around which might be his down fall in future battles. Once Kidoumaru activates level 2 Curse Seal he has 120% accuracy and uses his web-made bow to strike his opponents with absolutely no chance of missing.
Kidoumaru also is a strategist who likes strategies and uses them quite often in his attacks or when he plans traps. Though he may be smart in this sense, he is still lacking any true hand to hand combat and uses a lot of long distant attacks since he is not really a taijutsu type of ninja. He doesn't mess around and his ninjutsu is an inhuman one at that, but the reason he was chosen to be one of the Sound Four is mainly because of his web type of jutsus he can use.

Davis313 Comments: 33 |
Actually, Naruto-Kun, he DOES mess with his opponents. Kidomaru generally saw a battle as a game, and often played around with the opponent too much because he preferred to have fun seeing the opponent struggle. His speech also reflected this; when battling Neji Hyuga, he referred to Neji as a "minor character" and analyzed his situation using typical gaming language ("level" and "difficulty.). He is also extremely arrogant with his opponents, and sometimes swears if he is in a tough situation. THIS is the reason he lost against Neji. |

We're learning more about the plot to blow up a synagogue in New York and shoot down military planes in the same area. The men allegedly began their plot in 2008 and were discovered by authorities when they recruited an undercover informant operating out of a mosque into their group. The informant allowed law enforcement agencies to monitor the group's activities, and gave the men inert plastic explosives and an inoperable FIM-92 "Stinger" missile two weeks ago.

Clinical Trials (PDQ®)
Basic Trial Information
Trial Description
Further Trial Information
Eligibility Criteria
Trial Contact Information
Phase | Type | Status | Age | Sponsor | Protocol IDs |
Phase III | Treatment | Completed | 18 and over | Other | GBG 36 NATAN, ABCSG 29, NCT00512993 |
The purpose of this study is to determine the event-free survival (EFS) after zoledronic acid for 5 years versus no postoperative treatment in patients with "chemo-insensitive" breast cancer (ypT1-4 and/or ypN1-3) after preoperative anthracycline/taxane containing chemotherapy
Further Study Information
The study is restricted to patients having had primary systemic chemotherapy for stage II and III breast cancer. Participation in a preoperative chemotherapy trial investigating anthracycline and taxane based regimen is allowed, but not mandatory for all patients. Patients must have significant remaining tumor tissue in the breast and/or axillary lymph node. This implies resistance to further chemotherapy and a clinically relevant risk for relapse. Bisphosphonates have a distinct mechanism of action and have demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of breast cancer with metastasis to the bone as well as adjuvant treatment after surgery of primary breast cancer. The 3rd generation bisphosphonate zoledronic acid has a favorable toxicity profile and can be conveniently given to patients over a long term period.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Written informed consent must be obtained and documented according to the local regulatory requirements prior to beginning specific protocol procedures;
- Complete baseline documentation sent to GBG;
- Prior preoperative chemotherapy for at least 4 cycles, of which at least two must contain a taxane and an anthracycline;
- Completely resected unilateral or bilateral primary carcinoma of the breast with histologically detectable tumor residuals (ypT1-4) and/or histology confirmed involvement of axillary nodes (ypN1-3). Sentinel node biopsy is allowed, but complete axillary clearance is mandatory in node positive cases;
- A maximum interval of 3 years from date of axillary surgery to entering this trial;
- Age 18 years or older;
- Karnofsky index >= 70%;
- Life expectancy of at least 10 years, disregarding the diagnosis of cancer;
- No clinical evidence of local recurrence or distant metastases. Complete staging work-up: All patients must have breast ultrasound, chest X-ray, ultrasound or CT scan of the liver within 3 months prior to registration, as well as (bilateral) mammography or breast MRI and bone scan within 8 months prior to registration. In case of a positive bone scan, bone X-ray is mandatory. Other tests may be performed as clinically indicated;
- Adequate renal and hepatic function (serum creatinine, bilirubin, and transaminases within 1.5 × upper normal range);
- Patients must be available and compliant for treatment and follow-up. Patients registered on this trial must be treated and followed up at the participating center.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Known hypersensitivity reaction to the investigational compound;
- Prior postoperative chemotherapy;
- Prior treatment with bisphosphonates since breast cancer surgery;
- Pregnant or lactating patients. Patients of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (urine or serum) within 14 days prior to registration and must implement adequate non-hormonal contraceptive measures (barrier methods, intra uterine contraceptive devices, sterilization) during study treatment;
- History of diseases with influence on bone metabolism, such as Paget's disease of bone and primary hyperparathyroidism or osteoporosis requiring treatment at the time of study entry or considered likely to become necessary within the six months
- Other serious illness or medical condition that may interfere with the understanding and giving of informed consent and the conduct of the study
- Prior or concomitant secondary malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix)
- Concurrent treatment with other experimental drugs or any other anti-cancer therapy;
- Abnormal renal function as evidenced by a calculated creatinine clearance < 30 ml/minute;
- Serum calcium concentration < 8.0 mg/dl (2.00 mmol/L) or > 12.0 mg/dl (3.00 mmol/L)
- Concurrent treatment with sex hormones. Prior treatment must be stopped before study entry;
- Current active dental problems including infection of the teeth or jawbone (maxilla or mandibular); dental or fixture trauma, or a current or prior diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the jaw, of exposed bone in the mouth, or of slow healing after dental procedures.
- Recent (within 6 weeks) or planned dental or jaw surgery (e.g.. extraction, implants)
- Male patients.

Combo Washer and Dryer... Vented or not ?
We have a Splendide washer and dryer. The water solenoids are not working as they should, There is some corrosion nothing real bad that can't be fixed but the Admiral is not happy about it so... Christmas will come early and we will replace it.
The drying cycle was never appreciated and she prefer hanging the clothes with the fans On and the dehumidifier.
We have a Hunter 450 and I'm questioning where could we install the vent ? Saw from forums that a vented one is more efficient. My concern is not about water usage we have a large 45 gals/hour watermaker. Just trying to keep the Admiral happy..
By the way we are in Fort Pierce and if someone want a good deal on a used Splendide Dirt cheap but you will supply elbow grease to get it out and the new in.

Wide variety in food in a few stations. The food is very good. Breakfast usually opens at around 7:30am on thw weekdays, giving an opportunity to eat before class, it switches to lunch at around 11am and then dinner at 4pm. Weekends and break hours vary.
Read MoreThe food at Hartwick is decent. As a freshman, you will have an unlimited meal plan, meaning you can come as much as you want. There are several options available, whether it's the home style meal cooked daily (pasta, fish, chicken etc.), pizza which is always available, or the stir-fr station. The food will eventually fell repetitive, but this would be true at just about any college.
Read MoreFresh and healthy options, and friendly staff.
Read MoreThere is only one dining hall. The food is pretty much the same all the time. Take out in Oneonta is expensive like 10 dollars ( the minimum).
Read MoreWonderful. Worth part of the tuition.
Read MoreThere is only one dining hall on campus. The food is very good and there are many options to choose from. The hours of the dining hall could be improved. For instance, the dining hall closes every day between 3:00 and 4:00 to prepare for dinner. There are many classes that end around that time and it is hard to eat as they have significantly less options during this time. Also, the dining hall closes at 8:00 p.m. during the week and closes at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. This makes it difficult for busy students.
Read MoreOur dinning hall, called the Commons, is small in relation to the small campus. The staff that work there are very nice and polite. The food is fairly good. You just have to be creative when eating there. I recommend getting the unlimited food plan the first year to sort of test the food. The mac and cheese and chicken nugget days are my favorite! But if you prefer to cook, most resident halls have a kitchen.
Read MoreThe food is great. They have a few different options that allow for a variety of foods.
Read MoreGreek life is prevalent, but not over powering. You will most likely be friends with people who are in a frat or sorority, but you won't ever feel pressured to join. It is entirely up to you.
Read MoreThe majority of Greek life primarily stays off campus. I am part of a fraternity called Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia which is for music. We are very academically centered and do not participate in traditional Greek life activities such as hazing and the such. I have not experienced any of the typical Greek life but from what I can tell, the problems associated with hazing have been addressed.
Read MoreThere are 3 sorrorities and 2 fraternities recognized.
Read MoreGreek Life is a strong connection to the world. Brother/Sisterhoods create a friendship and opporotunities for the future.
Read MoreThere are several different Fraternities and Sororities on campus, including: Alpha Sigma Tau, Alpha Omnicron Pi, Phi Sigma Phi, Gamma Phi Delta, and others. They are a great group of students!
Read Moremost are douchebags
Read MoreA decent amount students on campus are involved in Greek Life. There are two recognized fraternities and three sororities. Students can rush for either their second semester at school, assuming that they have the grades to participate. Many of the Greek life organizations participate in a lot of community service activities and give Hartwick a great name.

Wow....Your school sounds like the one I went to for a brush-up course. If you love what you do then you will see yourself through this. I know its hard being in an environment where you feel you're the only one thats serious about what you do. Be encouraged....Depending on what state you're from you've already put in so many long hours, so please don't let all that time be in vain. Don't allow other people's behavior dictate how you feel and who you are in this vast and lucrative industry. Go to every seminar/show that you can afford to go to. Buy some styling dvds, visit salons and tell them how you feel. Befriend other stylists and pick their brain so to speak.
Prepare yourself for the state board exam and stay focused. Believe me, having that license means a huge world of possibilities. TRUST ME!!
Keep your head up SammBee....here, this is for you.
Dearest SammBee,
Always remember that misery loves company. I am in a salon that is sometimes the same way. I just like to think about my goals and ambitions and that if I thought or felt the way that they did, my life wouldn't get any better. Idle hands means busy mouths. Stay positive, your almost there.

McDougall, Kevin and Williamson, Ian and Bellman, Chris and Rizos, Chris (2006) Challenges facing spatial information and geomatics education in the higher education sector. In: Combined 5th Trans Tasman Survey Conference and 2nd Queensland Spatial Industry Conference 2006: Land and Sea Spatially Connected - In a Tropical Hub, 19-23 September 2006, Cairns, Australia.
Education_Paper_Cairns_.pdf Download (63Kb) |
[Abstract]: With the continuing high demand for graduates in the spatial information industry and the low student numbers entering university courses, the long term viability of higher education sector, and the industry it supports, is in question. The Australian higher education sector continues to undergo substantial change that is being driven aggressively by government. In particular,government continues to reduce their financial contributions to institutions by limiting indexation of funding and requiring universities to supplement the shortfall through alternative sources such as international student fees. In response to this pressure, universities are adapting their business models to focus on high volume, low overhead programs. In this context, programs in all areas of the spatial sciences are under threat because they traditionally have relatively small enrolments and are unable to attract large numbers of fee-paying students. The current difficulty in attracting undergraduate students is making departments and programs less viable and there is a serious risk that a number of the smaller departments or programs will be threatened with closure.

PrimaLoft, Downlite campaign to help victims of domestic violence
September 28, 2009
-- Home Textiles Today,Cincinnati – Down alternative brand PrimaLoft and utility bedding manufacturer Downlite are partnering on the Support Your Dreams campaign to support women and children making the passage from shelters to independent living.
The companies will donate pillows to residents of domestic violence shelters, which they may keep. Primaloft and Downlite will also lead local fundraising drives to raise money for shelters and donate proceeds from an online pillow purchasing program to the cause.
The pillow donations will go to the Equinox Domestic Violence Shelter in Albany, N.Y., and the Cincinnati YWCA Battered Women's Shelter. The shelters were selected because of their proximity to each supplier's headquarters community. The first donation will be made Oct. 1 in recognition of National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

The FDA's only over-the-counter diet pill.
Warning: Alli Linked To Liver Damage
The anticipation for a new diet pill is over as the FDA recently approved Alli (pronounced Al-eye). It's the weight loss newcomer that is quickly finding its place on drug store shelves. Alli is the first FDA-approved diet pill available without a prescription. Alli is actually a low-dose version of Xenical, a prescription drug that successfully assists obese individuals losing weight. Xenical is taken under a doctor's care while following a low-calorie, low-fat diet. Alli has the same active ingredient (Orlistat), but in a much lower dosage, and is available without the prescription.
Alli can help you lose a few pounds more than just dieting and exercise alone. It works by suppressing the body's ability to absorb fat in the intestines. By reducing fat, you reduce calories. When the body is unable to absorb these fats they become undigested waste.
Alli works best when it is used in conjunction with a low-calorie, low-fat diet and a regular exercise program. But since sticking to a reduced-calorie diet is tough and since certain foods need to be avoided while using the diet pill, Alli has partnered with eDiets, a meal delivery service that delivers Alli-specific meals to your door every week.
While some may view Alli as a controversial solution to weight loss, the manufacturers of this product have gone to great lengths to offer a comprehensive program to its users in order to make weight loss as easy and approachable as possible.
Although studies on the amount of weight loss you can lose with Alli are limited, you can expect to lose three to five pounds more than just relying on diet and exercise alone.
- May help to jump start a weight loss program
- Comprehensive website that offers support, food journals, calorie counters, meal plans and shopping lists
- Partnership with eDiets makes eating and meal planning simple and convenient
- The only over-the-counter diet pill with FDA approval
- Low-dose version of effective prescription diet pill
- Some think it shouldn't be sold without a prescription
- Not a long-term solution to weight loss
- Uncomfortable side effects
- Must be very careful to not exceed the maximum fat gram requirement with each meal
- Weight loss affects are modest
- Meal delivery services don't teach you how to consume and prepare your own calorie and portion-controlled meals
Alli contains 60 mg of Orlistat.
ADMINISTRATIONAlli is a 60 mg tablet taken three times a day with meals that should not exceed 15 mg of fat.
DIET and EXERCISEA low-fat and low-calorie diet must be followed while taking Alli. Since the success of Alli depends so largely on what you eat, how much you eat and when you eat, you have two choices for designing the most effective meal plan for your weight loss needs:
- You could consult with your physician or a registered dietitian to design a well-laid out diet and exercise plan.
- You could sign up for Alli's partner eDiets, a meal delivery service that creates special Alli-approved meals and delivers them to your door each week.
With the eDiets plan, you eat three meals a day plus snack and desserts. Menus can be personalized to reflect your tastes and preferences and you also have access to a registered dietitian, an online community of other Alli dieters and fitness and exercise support.
Since the fat content of each meal must be closely monitored while using Alli (no more than 15 mg each day), eDiets special Alli-approved meals meet these requirements so that your risk of side effects is kept to a minimum.
The eDiets menu includes a wide variety of delicious meals, including:
- Maple Apple Oatmeal
- Denver Style Potato Skillet with Turkey Ham
- Rosemary Pork with Brown Rice
- Oven Roasted Turkey with Savory Sweet Potatoes and Mixed Garden Vegetables
- Blackened Chicken served with Seasoned Spicy Brown Rice
- Peach Cobbler
- Sugar-free Pudding
Irrespective of which meal plan you follow, since Alli inhibits the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, it is important to take a daily supplement that includes Vitamins A, D and E.
In addition, for the best results, a regular exercise program should also be followed that includes 30 minutes of exercise on most days of the week. If you decide to sign-up with eDiets meal delivery service, you have access to a live fitness trainer to help you customize an exercise plan to compliment your weight loss needs.
CONCLUSIONMany people have seen positive results with Alli. However, those considering taking Alli should note that side effects can include gas, and uncontrolled urination and bowel movements, especially when not following the guidelines prescribed by Alli.
Alli is not a magic pill to lose weight, but its special partnership with eDiets, a meal delivery service, makes eating and meal planning simple and convenient.
Do keep in mind that the effects of taking Alli in comparison to just dieting and exercising alone are just the difference of a few pounds. It is necessary that you consult with your medical practitioner before taking Alli.

(Page 7 of 19, 378 total comments)For those of you that said you didn't want to change your diet, of course you will have the oily, nasty discharge when you feel like you just have gas. You have to really watch your fat intake, or you will end up with brown pants. Alli really works. You have to stick to it and not give up. Just remember to watch your fat intake!
Hi been taking it for nearlly a week and have lost 8 pounds. No side affects sticking to calories and grams of fat
I have just started taking it 2day I know that it is not a quick fix . I would like to loose at least 10lbs by 4th july as I have a party 2 go 2 and want to look my best. I know I can do it, I will do. The lady at the chemist was really helpful and said for me to come in every monday to check my diary and to get weighed. How great is that. I will let u guys know in a few days how its going.
For those of you who've had success it'd be nice if you gave a little more information, like your previous weight and height or BMI, just so readers can get an idea of the circumstances where there are positive results.
I am a 44 year old guy trying to loose a little weight to improve social life. First off I had gotten very bad gas from alli, and when I past the gas I would mess my undergarments with about a 1/2 cup of brownish oily discharge, and the smell was just awful, worse than normal gas. I had to learn that every time i needed to pass gas I had to sit on the toilet, or wear a womans sanitary napkin for protection. Also I notice that my rectum became very raw and irritated felt as if it was on fire most of the time. During the course of the the medications I was treated for several rashes, and infections in the private region, which is something I never had before. I also notice my food does not breakdown completely I can stare and my stool and identify everything I ate the night before in it. One perk was after I was on it for 6 month with a1200 calorie a day diet and exercising 5 days a week, I notice I lost a total of 6 pounds so about a pound a month, but I not sure it was worth all the other problem though.
I have just started taking alli, two days ago. I am confiddent I will lose a little weight. I hate dieting, but I am willing to give it a try. Haven't startted it yet.I am not overweight. 5'3" and weight about 120 lbs. The side effects haven't been bad at all so far. Just one "visit" to the bathroom today and thats it. Good luck to all of you trying. Hope we can make it happen!!
i lost some wight with alli but i had to have my gallbadder out too now that it is out can i take alli again
I have been taking alli for approx 2.5 weeks. I work out at least 4 or 5 times a week and have a reasonable diet; meaning I don't live on super low calories like 1200 and I don't eat carrots and water all day. With the help of alli my body has started responding much better to my workouts and keeps me honest as I am addicted to some things like french fries or chocolate...on alli I still eat french fries I just bake them instead of fry them.
My point is that alli IS NOT A MAGIC PILL, you have to mentally want to loose weight; buying this then continuing to do what you always did that got you fat in the first place...WILL KEEP YOU FAT AND FULL OF OILY FAT on alli! Bottom line you can eat sensibly with a small splurge here and there if you are committed to working out, sensible portions and a committed heart. Alli is great for helping the pounds come off in my case that just will not respond to working out.
I took alli for about two months, I constantly had to run to the bathroom because I did not want to change my diet. My bowel movements were liquid and had a very horrible smell (worst than usual). Because it was liquid it got on my hands and i would have to wash my hands for at least ten minutes to removed that horrible smell. It is not safe to pass gas if you are not dieting properly because you will use it on yourself. I wore a pad at all times just in case. I did not notice that I had extra room in my pants until I got off of Alli and gained all the weight back and now those pants are hanging in my closest because I can no longer wear them.
alli has helped me a lot. I lost 30 pounds by taking 1 a day since mid January. The only thing is my hair has started to thin more than usual. I stopped taking alli to see if that helps. taking alli is the only change in my meds.
I stopped gaining weight when I started taking it, which motivated me to improve my diet. I take Alli when I cant avoid eating fast food because there was no alternative. I cannot exercise that much because of an injury. So, this Alli together with a proper diet and light exercise as made me lose 2 pounds. That may not sound like much to most people but I have been gaining about 2 pounds per month since my injury, so Alli was able to compensate for it.
I've lost 30-35 lbs since mid January. To say the least I'm very pleased.
I'm not quite sure what to think yet, I took it for a week...thought I had to "fart" and pooed all over myself...lol Lesson learned!!!
i would recommend without doubt ive lost 13 pound in 2 weeks stick to a low fat diet and you will get results but try to keep active you dont havre to join a gym, walk the dog walk to the shops.
I have taken for two weeks - and have NO side effects what so ever? I am concerned whether i am really taking it correctly?? as i even had a chinese and nothing happened - i managed to loose two pounds but thought it would much more.
Im not obese - and my BMI is only 25 does this matter??
i like alli because it helps me can we oder it
I LOVE IT!! I lost 65 lbs. with the help of Alli, it keeps you honest on what you eat, which i think is the best part.. I now think before I eat so not to have to run to the bathroom with guests around.
I tried Alli for a while and quickly realised the pills were not the quick fix that everyone wants! You are much better starting your diet with a Free profile at www.Diet-365.com and planning which one of the 22 diets that are on offer suit your lifestyle, I personally chose the wheat free diet plan and so far am I am seeing very positive results, get your Free profile like I did, I think its much better than relying on tablets to rule your life, after all its a lifestyle change needed if we are to lose weight, good luck!
i started taking alli yesterday, so far no bad side effects yet touch wood! i am sticking to no more than 1200 calories and no more than 12g of fat per meal. although i've only taken these for 2 days my mood has been pretty low is that normal? i have lost a 1lbs in these 2 days though which i think is pretty good :)

So I get this phone call today. Some guy with a strong accent, obviously based in an off-shore call centre asks for me by name. When I say that he already is already speaking to me, he says he believes I recently got injured in an accident that wasn't my fault. I tell him that this is not the case. "Oh?" he says. "No slips or falls, then, in the past few months?"
So what I want to know is this - do they just work their way through the phone records and make these same overtures to everyone? Or has the call centre some how got their hands on my NHS records?
Because, yes. I did have a fall several months ago. I slipped on the stairs and grabbed the rail to stop myself from falling. In the process, I injured my neck really badly. I am only just beginning to recover from it.
But it happened in my home... so who would I sue? And it was (kind of) my own fault. I was wearing new glasses and misjudged the top step. Should I sue the opticians?
Sometimes things happen and we just have to accept that it was unfortunate and move on with our lives. All this suing and litigating... it's no way to live.
But I digress.
Some years ago, my husband was a partner in a printing bureau. They printed what amounts to junkmail. Of the kind that is addressed to you personally. Various sources were available for this information: TV licence data, voters' roll data, telephone lists, etc. While even this is a bit of a grey area for me in terms of ethics, at least it is only my name and address that is being made available.
But when someone in India knows about a fall I had... well, I thought medical records were supposed to be confidential.
Or is it indeed just a co-inky-dink, and I'm just reading too much into it?

(198) Seche Vite Top Coat
I can't remember how long ago I first posted about Seche Vite top coat but since moving to Paris and not being able to readily locate it, I realised how much I valued it. Seche Vite has to be the quickest drying and glossiest top coat I've ever used. I think this was the first thing I purchased when I got back to London last week - that much of a must have!
I really don't think any nail polish can look as good as it does when it has a layer of Seche on top. In the past so many people complimented me on my nails and couldn't believe it when I told them that they're weren't gel.
Ok let's not front, Seche can be a bitch I've experienced the peelage with certain nail polishes which is so annoying and it gets so thick and gloppy quite easily.
However, with that aside it really is a wonderful product. I think the thing that has me hooked is how quickly drying it is. I am probably the most impatient person at waiting for my nails to dry I always end up smudging or chipping them (why do you think you only see one hand on my nail posts!) Seche seals the nail polish in and within about 2 minutes I can carry on doing whatever I was. I usually paint my nails just before bed AND that's another thing NO BED NAILS - result!
What I'm trying to say is that not being able to have Seche Vite for the last few months has made me realised how much of a beauty essential is to me - so much so it needed a special blog post dedicated to its greatness (NO, I'm not exaggerating!)
Are you a Seche Vite fan? Or not?
I never used to bother with top coats before Seche now it's a must!
Seche Vite is available HERE
Lots of Love
11 comments:
For me, SECHE VITE is a big NO NO. Mainly because of how it can AFFECT YOUR HEALTH and your baby (if ur pregnant). My health comes before my beauty, and the warning on the package is very clear, so no matter how great it is I'll stay away from it...
(and it doesnt even dry that fast + i've tried other amazinggggg top coats so im not loosing out so much after all)
Thanks for stopping by! I read all your comments and try to reply to them. If you would like more of a direct reply feel free to email me at.. email@example.com xxx

Find the best Vegetarian Restaurants in Oxfordshire as recommended by local Oxfordshire people in thebestof Oxfordshire's Vegetarian Restaurants directory.
For one of the best Chinese and Thai restaurants in Oxfordshire we recommend the Cockadoo near Abingdon. Sophisticated dining, beautifully refurbished wine bar and great music events. Seafood and Vegetarian dishes a speciality.
Dan P said
My wife and I visited Cockadoo last night for our wedding anniversary. This isn't the first time that we had been there, so we knew what to expect. Upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly member of staff who showed us to our table and presented us with our menus. After ordering our drinks the waitress took our order and remembered it all without use of a notepad! The starters came out reasonably fast, I had the Tom Yam Chicken and pancakes (a dish that was served cold- which surprised me) but was very tasty. My wife had the prawn toast and was VERY surprised about how big it was. 3 separate big prawns wrapped in rice paper and rolled in breadcrumbs. For mains my wife had the Mongolian lamb (which I had last time we visited) with a side of special fried rice. The lamb was tender and well spiced. I had a Massaman Chicken Curry which was cooked with coconut milk, various vegetables and chicken! I too had a special fried rice to accompany my main dish. The service we received was very good. It's clear that they are pushing the fact that live music (mainly tribute acts) are hosted regularly at Cockadoo with acts such as Robbie Williams, Adele and Cher being heavily pushed. I have never been to one of these nights, but you can see from the layout of the building that its set up nicely for this sort of function. We will definitely be back!

I've been to Raja Ampat four times and never saw a mosquito - then again, I didn't do any of the shore excursions that may have been offered. The boats are far enough offshore to not worry too much about mosquitoes.
But then again, I always take anti-malarials and my drug of choice over the years is doxycycline, 100 mgs per day. You have to take it beginning a couple days right before the trip and then for 28 days after you return, but there aren't any side effects. Some people get sun sensitivity but I've never had that happen and I actually get pretty tan in Indo.
I also take Malarone with me in case I develop malaria, and the dosage for treatment is four tabs once a day for three days. This is the treatment dosage, not the prophylactic dosage.
I'd rather take the Doxycyline since I know I tolerate it well and there are no real side effects as long as you don't take it longer than four months, which is why it's not an option for people that live in a malarial area.

From: TSS (wt-d6-140.wt.net)
In Reply to: State health officials are probing the deaths of four Ulster County residents who died in recent months of a rare brain disease CJD posted by TSS on October 13, 2004 at 9:53 am:
Ulster deaths probed All of the patients died within the last 45 days, Mandelbaum said. A fourth death, that of Kingston resident Richard Tobey occurred at Benedictine Hospital on Saturday night. Family members confirmed that Tobey, 59, was positively diagnosed with CJD following a brain biopsy at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan last week. Benedictine Hospital confirmed Tuesday that two people had died of the disease at their hospice facility after being diagnosed and treated elsewhere. CJD is an invariably fatal disorder caused by abnormal proteins called prions which infect and destroy healthy brain tissue. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, CJD occurs in about one in every 1 million people each year. The most common form of the disorder is known as sporadic CJD and occurs spontaneously. Other variants may be inherited from family members or acquired through tissue implants, the use of contaminated surgical instruments or the administration of hormones extracted from contaminated human organs. The most rare, but best known form of the disease, commonly called Mad Cow Disease, is contracted by eating the brain or spinal tissue of infected cattle. While 143 people have died of Mad Cow CJD in Europe, the only case confirmed in the U.S. was in a Florida woman who previously lived in England. So far, none of the Ulster County CJD cases have been identified as the Mad Cow variant. "This is a very unusual disease, and a very unusual cluster," said Mandelbaum. "We have to find out if there is some common cause and, if so, eliminate it." State Health Department officials, citing patient privacy laws, had declined to discuss the existence of an unusual number of CJD cases in Ulster County since August when they were questioned regarding unconfirmed reports of a CJD cluster. On Tuesday, however, a department spokesman confirmed that they were investigating the situation. "It's a bit of a puzzle and we are trying to solve it now," said Health Department spokesman William Van Slyke, who declined to give an exact number of CJD cases locally. "But at this point we don't see anything which would cause concern or a threat to the public health." Family members of two known CJD victims, Tobey and Lake Katrine resident Colleen Staccio, 48, who died at the Benedictine hospice on Aug. 28, said that their loved ones had no family history of CJD and had never traveled to places where Mad Cow outbreaks had occurred. Staccio and Tobey were young compared to most CJD victims, whose median age is 68. Both victims had back surgery at Kingston Hospital in the mid-1990s, however there is no evidence of a link between those treatments and their deaths from CJD. The medical and travel histories of the two unnamed victims remain unknown. Asked to comment on the report that two of the victims had had back surgery at the hospital, Kingston Hospital spokeswoman Deb Muise said the hospital is not investigating any active cases of CJD at this time. Relatives of Staccio and Tobey said that they had heard informally from nurses and other medical personnel that there had been an unusual number of CJD cases locally, but said they were thwarted in their attempts to gather more information by patient confidentiality laws. "Most of them, as soon as you mention (other CJD cases) just close up tight as a drum," said Richard Tobey's daughter Stacy Tobey. "We just want answers. We don't want anybody else to go through what we have gone through these last six weeks." Dr. Marc Tack, a Kingston-based infectious disease specialist, said he was familiar with some local CJD cases, but saw no evidence of any common cause. According to Tack, considering the lengthy incubation period of the disease, it is unlikely that a victims infected from a common source would die at such close intervals. "I'm concerned in that I would like more information and more answers," said Tack. "But the fact is, you are more likely to die crossing the Kingston-Rhinecliff bridge tonight than from CJD." http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=13127440&BRD=1769&PAG=461&dept_id=74969&rfi=6 TSS

EBIKE 72v – Battery pack built from Dell laptop batteries
I purchased a lot of 12 laptop batteries for a very good price. they are 14.8v 5.4ah packs 12 cells of 18650 lithium inside. im taking them all apart, and building a 72volt 10.8ah pack for my Ebike

@backlash170 they have li-ion smart chargers that charge 10cell (10x 3.7v cell full charge 41v) or you step it up to whatever voltage you want 15 cell will give you 61.5v fully charged. then just get a 15cell charger. It is always recommended to use a battery management system when using most all batteries
skeetab5780 (1321 days)
@MaxSachs i have not tested these cells yet, but yes you are correct these cells have a higher density and a lower discharge rate compared to a V or VT sony cell. im not expecting more than 1C to 2C as im only needing the pack to draw 30Amps. i think they're 1800mah some people say up to 2200mah depending on discharge. once the pack is built i will post an update! thanks for watching
MaxSachs (1321 days)
Those look like Sony Konion cells that they use in Makita 18.5V powertool batteries, I'm not sure but the "GR" designation may mean a lower discharge rate than the 18650V version. The 18650V versions are rated at 10C discharge and are quite suitable for ebikes but it just doesn't make sense to put a 10C cell into a laptop….overkill. Have you tested or researched the discharge rate of these 18650GR's?

MAC Whisper of Gilt Extra Dimension Skinfinish
Highlight with a Whisper of Gilt
MAC Whisper of Gilt Extra Dimension Skinfinish ($29.00 for 0.31 oz.) is described as a "light soft white gold with shimmery sheen." It's a lightly warmed-up champagne gold with yellow undertones and a very gilded sheen. Shimmery and high-shine, it's not quite metallic (unless used damp/wet), the finish will highlight easily. Chanel Routes des Indes de Chanel is yellower. Guerlain Terracotta in the Sun is darker, yellower.
I reviewed Whisper of Gilt when it originally launched earlier this year in March. For a more in-depth review, I'd encourage you to read this post. I wanted to roll out improved photos, since I know this is a rather anticipated repromote. All of the photos and swatches are of the most recently released version (that came out with Glamour Daze), which is exactly the same as the originally released version. I also re-tested this shade for wear, and it wore for eight hours with some visible light fading along the edges.

text: I love where I live. Its pretty well off the beaten path and secluded. Yesterday as I drove down my dirt lane, standing in front of my gate, were a doe and two young fawns. I see deer fairly often. I rent a field to a local farmer, and this year he has planted corn. I walked up there yesterday and checked things out and could see where a bear had been tearing it up. It would just mash down large areas, eat corn, crap, and move to another location. Today I seen crap about 50 yards from my house. It was bear. It does not bother me, we only have black bears here. They are not usually aggressive (but can be), cant wait to get a look at it.

COLUMBIA — While the usual Sunday service at Broadway Christian Church was well underway, a new service for Burmese refugees began.
Down the hall and to the right, stairs led down to the basement where a group of about 30 refugees sang Burmese songs accompanied by an acoustic guitar. It was the first time in Columbia the refugees had a space to worship in the their native language.
Many refugees have found sanctuary in the Columbia Refugee Garden behind Broadway Christian Church, where they grow some of their own food.
"They grow vegetables that they can't purchase locally," said Don Day, Community Garden coordinator and church member. "It also helps with the food bills."
The garden has been expanded three times, and now contains 148 plots with about 30 Burmese families using the soil. One thing was missing for the Burmese, though. They needed a place to worship.
After a few months of looking for a place to gather and share in their Christian faith in their native language, Day asked Broadway Christian Church if it had available space.
"Most Burmese don't speak English. At other churches, they don't know what (is preached)," Burmese refugee, Zosangpui Zo said.
Most of the families that gathered Sunday had learned about Christianity from missionaries visiting Burma. They used their experiences with them as a sort of model for their service here in America. This week, they sang some traditional Burmese songs, as well as American songs that had been translated into Burmese.
Broadway Christian Church's Senior Minister, the Rev. Tim Carson gave a brief welcome before the service began.
"We come from many cultures, but we share the same God, faith and Jesus," he said. "Our house is your house."
The leader of the service will rotate every week between people that know the Bible well, Zo said. This week Ahlun Tamdang spoke about how important worship is. The group intends to hold a weekly service at 11:30 a.m. every Sunday at the church.
The service on Sunday morning ended just as it began, with an acoustic guitar strumming and the refugees singing together in their native language.
Supervising editor is Zach Murdock.

Go to the previous, next section.
Once configure
has determined whether a feature exists, what can
it do to record that information? There are four sorts of things it can
do: define a C preprocessor symbol, set a variable in the output files,
save the result in a cache file for future configure
runs, and
print a message letting the user know the result of the test.
A common action to take in response to a feature test is to define a C
preprocessor symbol indicating the results of the test. That is done by
calling AC_DEFINE
or AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED
By default, AC_OUTPUT
places the symbols defined by these macros
into the output variable DEFS
, which contains an option
`-Dsymbol=value' for each symbol defined. Unlike in
Autoconf version 1, there is no variable DEFS
defined while
is running. To check whether Autoconf macros have
already defined a certain C preprocessor symbol, test the value of the
appropriate cache variable, as in this example:
AC_CHECK_FUNC(vprintf, AC_DEFINE(HAVE_VPRINTF)) if test "$ac_cv_func_vprintf" != yes; then AC_CHECK_FUNC(_doprnt, AC_DEFINE(HAVE_DOPRNT)) fi
If AC_CONFIG_HEADER
has been called, then instead of creating
creates a header file by substituting the
correct values into #define
statements in a template file.
See section Configuration Header Files, for more information about this kind of
Macro: AC_DEFINE (variable [, value])
@maindex DEFINE
Define C preprocessor variable variable. If value is given,
set variable to that value (verbatim), otherwise set it to 1.
value should not contain literal newlines, and if you are not
using AC_CONFIG_HEADER
it should not contain any `#'
characters, as make
tends to eat them. To use a shell variable
(which you need to do in order to define a value containing the
quote characters `[' or `]'), use
instead. The following example defines the C
preprocessor variable EQUATION
to be the string constant
`"$a > $b"':
AC_DEFINE(EQUATION, "$a > $b")
Macro: AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED (variable [, value])
@maindex DEFINE_UNQUOTED
Like AC_DEFINE
, but three shell expansions are
performed--once--on variable and value: variable expansion
(`$'), command substitution (``'), and backslash escaping
(`\'). Single and double quote characters in the value have no
special meaning. Use this macro instead of AC_DEFINE
variable or value is a shell variable. Examples:
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(config_machfile, "${machfile}") AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(GETGROUPS_T, $ac_cv_type_getgroups) AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(${ac_tr_hdr})
Due to the syntactical bizarreness of the Bourne shell, do not use
semicolons to separate AC_DEFINE
or AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED
calls from other macro calls or shell code; that can cause syntax errors
in the resulting configure
script. Use either spaces or
newlines. That is, do this:
AC_CHECK_HEADER(elf.h, AC_DEFINE(SVR4) LIBS="$LIBS -lelf")
or this:
AC_CHECK_HEADER(elf.h, AC_DEFINE(SVR4) LIBS="$LIBS -lelf")
instead of this:
AC_CHECK_HEADER(elf.h, AC_DEFINE(SVR4); LIBS="$LIBS -lelf")
One way to record the results of tests is to set output variables,
which are shell variables whose values are substituted into files that
outputs. The two macros below create new output
variables. See section Preset Output Variables, for a list of output
variables that are always available.
@maindex SUBST
Create an output variable from a shell variable. Make AC_OUTPUT
substitute the variable variable into output files (typically one
or more `Makefile's). This means that AC_OUTPUT
replace instances of `@variable@' in input files with the
value that the shell variable variable has when AC_OUTPUT
is called. The value of variable should not contain literal
Macro: AC_SUBST_FILE (variable)
@maindex SUBST_FILE
Another way to create an output variable from a shell variable. Make
insert (without substitutions) the contents of the file
named by shell variable variable into output files. This means
that AC_OUTPUT
will replace instances of
`@variable@' in output files (such as `Makefile.in')
with the contents of the file that the shell variable variable
names when AC_OUTPUT
is called. Set the variable to
`/dev/null' for cases that do not have a file to insert.
This macro is useful for inserting `Makefile' fragments containing
special dependencies or other make
directives for particular host
or target types into `Makefile's. For example, `configure.in'
could contain:
AC_SUBST_FILE(host_frag)dnl host_frag=$srcdir/conf/sun4.mh
and then a `Makefile.in' could contain:
To avoid checking for the same features repeatedly in various
scripts (or repeated runs of one script),
saves the results of many of its checks in a cache
file. If, when a configure
script runs, it finds a cache file,
it reads from it the results from previous runs and avoids rerunning
those checks. As a result, configure
can run much faster than if
it had to perform all of the checks every time.
Macro: AC_CACHE_VAL (cache-id, commands-to-set-it)
@maindex CACHE_VAL
Ensure that the results of the check identified by cache-id are
available. If the results of the check were in the cache file that was
read, and configure
was not given the `--quiet' or
`--silent' option, print a message saying that the result was
cached; otherwise, run the shell commands commands-to-set-it.
Those commands should have no side effects except for setting the
variable cache-id. In particular, they should not call
; the code that follows the call to AC_CACHE_VAL
should do that, based on the cached value. Also, they should not print
any messages, for example with AC_MSG_CHECKING
; do that before
calling AC_CACHE_VAL
, so the messages are printed regardless of
whether the results of the check are retrieved from the cache or
determined by running the shell commands. If the shell commands are run
to determine the value, the value will be saved in the cache file just
before configure
creates its output files. See section Cache Variable Names, for how to choose the name of the cache-id variable.
The names of cache variables should have the following format:
for example, `ac_cv_header_stat_broken' or `ac_cv_prog_gcc_traditional'. The parts of the variable name are:
Like their names, the values that may be assigned to cache variables have a few restrictions. The values may not contain single quotes or curly braces. Usually, their values will be boolean (`yes' or `no') or the names of files or functions; so this is not an important restriction.
A cache file is a shell script that caches the results of configure tests run on one system so they can be shared between configure scripts and configure runs. It is not useful on other systems. If its contents are invalid for some reason, the user may delete or edit it.
By default, configure uses `./config.cache' as the cache file,
creating it if it does not exist already. configure
accepts the
`--cache-file=file' option to use a different cache file;
that is what configure
does when it calls configure
scripts in subdirectories, so they share the cache. Giving
`--cache-file=/dev/null' disables caching, for debugging
. See section Configuring Other Packages in Subdirectories, for information on configuring
subdirectories with the AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS
`config.status' only pays attention to the cache file if it is
given the `--recheck' option, which makes it rerun
It is wrong to try to distribute cache files for particular system types. There is too much room for error in doing that, and too much administrative overhead in maintaining them. For any features that can't be guessed automatically, use the standard method of the canonical system type and linking files (see section Manual Configuration).
The cache file on a particular system will gradually accumulate whenever
someone runs a configure
script; it will be initially
nonexistent. Running configure
merges the new cache results with
the existing cache file. The site initialization script can specify a
site-wide cache file to use instead of the default, to make it work
transparently, as long as the same C compiler is used every time
(see section Setting Site Defaults).
scripts need to give users running them several kinds
of information. The following macros print messages in ways appropriate
for each kind. The arguments to all of them get enclosed in shell
double quotes, so the shell performs variable and backquote substitution
on them.
These macros are all wrappers around the echo
shell command.
scripts should rarely need to run echo
to print messages for the user. Using these macros makes it easy to
change how and when each kind of message is printed; such changes need
only be made to the macro definitions, and all of the callers change
Macro: AC_MSG_CHECKING (feature-description)
@maindex MSG_CHECKING
Notify the user that configure
is checking for a particular
feature. This macro prints a message that starts with `checking '
and ends with `...' and no newline. It must be followed by a call
to AC_MSG_RESULT
to print the result of the check and the
newline. The feature-description should be something like
`whether the Fortran compiler accepts C++ comments' or `for
This macro prints nothing if configure
is run with the
`--quiet' or `--silent' option.
Macro: AC_MSG_RESULT (result-description)
@maindex MSG_RESULT
Notify the user of the results of a check. result-description is
almost always the value of the cache variable for the check, typically
`yes', `no', or a file name. This macro should follow a call
to AC_MSG_CHECKING
, and the result-description should be
the completion of the message printed by the call to
This macro prints nothing if configure
is run with the
`--quiet' or `--silent' option.
Macro: AC_MSG_ERROR (error-description)
@maindex MSG_ERROR
Notify the user of an error that prevents configure
completing. This macro prints an error message on the standard error
output and exits configure
with a nonzero status.
error-description should be something like `invalid value
$HOME for \$HOME'.
Macro: AC_MSG_WARN (problem-description)
@maindex MSG_WARN
Notify the configure
user of a possible problem. This macro
prints the message on the standard error output; configure
continues running afterward, so macros that call AC_MSG_WARN
provide a default (back-up) behavior for the situations they warn about.
problem-description should be something like `ln -s seems to
make hard links'.
The following two macros are an obsolete alternative to
and AC_MSG_RESULT
Macro: AC_CHECKING (feature-description)
@maindex CHECKING
This macro is similar to AC_MSG_CHECKING
, except that it prints a
newline after the feature-description. It is useful mainly to
print a general description of the overall purpose of a group of feature
checks, e.g.,
AC_CHECKING(if stack overflow is detectable)
Macro: AC_VERBOSE (result-description)
@maindex VERBOSE
This macro is similar to AC_MSG_RESULT
, except that it is meant
to follow a call to AC_CHECKING
instead of
; it starts the message it prints with a tab. It
is considered obsolete.

My co-author for this month's column is Jim McGhay, AAPG Treasurer. Later this month, you will receive your dues statement, where there are two items that might attract your attention. We address them here.
In our October 2011 column, we reviewed the state of the AAPG budget, endeavoring to explain the causes of its cyclicity and what the Executive Committee must do to redress budget shortcomings.
As the EC and HQ staff have been analyzing our budgets during the past six months, it has become painfully apparent that our Association must find new ways to pay for the products, services, and programs – in quantity and quality – that we all have come to expect from a world-class organization. Of course, the alternative is to speak the unspeakable – cutbacks that, in seeking to preserve value, actually reduce it.
Contrary to some members' perceptions, we do not have vast stores of excess funds sitting idle that can be used to balance the budgets. Yes, we have our investment portfolio, ably managed by the Investment Committee, which is considered the AAPG's rainy-day fund to ensure the long-term financial viability of our organization in case of emergencies. The primary goal of the fund is to maintain at least one year's worth of operating capital. Right now, the emergency fund holds less than that – $15M in operating funds, $17M in operating costs. So, as you can see, there are in fact no truly accessible stores of cash on which to draw.
As we wrote in October, two ways to address the need for revenue are by increasing dues, affecting all of the membership somewhat equally; and by increasing our service fees, which are paid directly by the individual and thus a choice that is separate from membership dues. In January, the Executive Committee voted on these two issues. Here are the details of the results.
The Executive Committee is always and rightfully reluctant to raise dues; this act is not only unpopular, but affects us personally. During the past two decades, dues have increased about every three years for an average of about 3 percent/year, essentially keeping pace with inflation. However, services have continued to increase disproportionately even more than dues. Dues amounts to only 13 percent of the Association's total revenues, but it does represent one method of assisting with the balance of revenue and expenses. Therefore, to bring services and dues back into equilibrium, the EC has decided to raise the basic member dues from $90 to $105. This increase will help your Association in avariety of ways.
One budget item, which has been out of sync with its actual cost for several years, is the cost of printing and shipping the BULLETIN. This is especially true with the availability of this journal in digital form and the continuing decrease in the number of members requesting the printed copy. So, increasing the "hard copy" printing and mailing fees for the BULLETIN is another area that must come closer to "actual costs."
Our bylaws state that all members will receive the BULLETIN as part of their yearly dues. In early 2004, the EC decided to make the digital version of the BULLETIN the default method for distribution. Any member who chose to receive the BULLETIN by hard copy was expected to pay for its extra cost. Unfortunately, this policy was never fully implemented. Currently, 80 percent of the shipping costs are still being absorbed by the Association; starting in July, however, these costs will be switched to those who choose to receive a hard copy of the BULLETIN. As a consequence, the EC voted to increase the shipping fees by $50/year. Increasing the shipping costs for those members who receive the hard copy BULLETIN will raise about $40,000 for the budget. With this policy, AAPG joins many other professional societies who faced the same issue with printing costs, and reached the same conclusion.
And now some positive news for future budgets! In early January, the executive directors of the AAPG, SPE, and SEG signed a Memorandum of Understanding to co-sponsor a new annual convention, titled the "Unconventional Resource Technology Conference (URTeC)." AAPG will act as the convention operator. The purpose of this meeting is to host an integrated, multidisciplinary science and technology event for onshore unconventional plays. Extensive floor displays will include all aspects of the science and technology behind the development of unconventional resources. The technical programs will highlight the interdisciplinary nature of the plays.
The first URTeC is scheduled for August 2013 in Denver. Several people have spent substantial time working on developing the structure and the organization of this conference, specifically Rick Fritz, Alan Wegener, David Lange, and David Curtiss. This convention is the newest program that has high upside potential for expanding our annual income. Needless to say, we are excited. Now the real work begins as we start to assemble the entire conference for its inaugural event.
At the Annual Convention and Exhibition on April 22, the AAPG will recognize the significant achievements of many of its members at the Awards Ceremony. We also wish to acknowledge here one group that goes unrecognized and is vital to the daily operations of AAPG – the AAPG staff. We have more than 70 employees working in five broad directorates: Communications, Finances, Global Development and Conventions, Geosciences, and Education. Within each directorate, we have two-four additional groups. In addition, we have three regional offices (London, Singapore, Dubai). All told, that is a lot of moving parts.
We have worked with many different professional societies, and one of the real strengths of the AAPG is the dedicated headquarters staff that has worked together for many years. Continuity like this can be rare in large professional associations, and it allows us to have extended success with good historical memory for the Association. For those of you who attend the annual convention in Long Beach this year, please take the time to say "thanks" to those staff who will be working there. They are a vital part of our Association, and we want to acknowledge them for their dedicated service.

This will take a me a few days to process. I'm playing around with Illustrator right now. It's challenging when you don't have a mental image of what you want or frustrating like you mentioned.
I found your explanation more useful in a half hour video than most of the tips they have. |

It definitely will take time to get used to. Rest assured that epiphanic moments just sort of happen with Adobe stuff; you'll think you can't make anything good and be super critical, then one day you'll be flying through tools with ease and generally liking more stuff you make.
Always try new concepts and you'll get used to more with this stuff. "If it works, don't fix it", but having just one thing that works limits your creative repertoire. Best of luck!

I worked on several rough copies the past the past few days before deciding on an idea and running with it. I'm liking the benefits of being able to use the same vector logo for all my PSD projects - my signature being one. It's nothing too audacious. Just what you taught me so far.

Nice work, looks like you've been playing with the image trace option. With the image trace, if you pick a complex object to trace with a lot of different tones, it'll turn out sort of awkward. Overall, the one you picked did okay in the tracing process.
As for the actual logo itself, I don't know if this is occurring on your end, but the letters are seeping through the empty spaces in your trace. If it is occurring on your file, the remedy is to select the path surrounding the missing areas and just add a fill colour of your choosing. Overall, it's a good start for sure. If you really want to tweak and remove any strange edges or blending, grab individual points in the fixing area and move them around. With enough tweaking, you can really get super detailed.

Bush to shore up support in E. Asia
By Sridhar Krishnaswami
WASHINGTON, OCT. 17. The U.S. President, Mr. George W. Bush,
leaves today on a five-day trip to East Asia to participate in
the Meeting of Leaders of the Asia Pacific as a part of the Asia
Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum.
Prior to leaving Washington, Mr. Bush is meeting Congressional
leaders which will be followed by a stop in Sacramento,
California, where he will talk about the economy besides meeting
troops at the Travis Air Force base.
The President is, at this time, expected to be out of the country
until next Monday and administration officials are confident that
he will fully participate in the leaders' meeting on Oct. 21 and
22. At the same time, the cautionary word is that Mr. Bush may
cut short his trip to Shanghai if the situation warrants.
The visit as originally put together was for 10 days with the
President spending time with key allies of the United States such
as Japan and South Korea. In the pre-Sept. 11 scheme of things,
Mr. Bush was going to Beijing on an official visit. Now, all this
is in a highly truncated fashion.
The shortened trip to East Asia does not mean that it does not
carry additional significance. In fact, what is being said here
is that aside from the routine discussions of the state of the
world and regional economies and the usual high sounding talk
about free trade, Mr. Bush will be having international terrorism
very high on the agenda but without giving the impression that
other issues are being pushed to the sidelines.
``What we want to do... .is to work with every Government in
which there is a substantial Al-Qaeda presence to figure out a
strategy for rooting it out'', the National Security Advisor, Dr.
Condoleezza Rice, said. But the air strikes on Afghanistan have
had a visible impact in South East Asia; and Washington is not
particularly pleased with criticism coming out of some countries
such as Indonesia.
The U.S. is working on an APEC Statement on Terrorism which will
apparently have no references to either Osama or the strikes
against Afghanistan. Rather, what is being sought is a statement
that says that the Sept. 11 attacks on the U.S. is an attack on
the APEC's vision of ``free, open and prosperous economies'' and,
therefore, a threat to peace and security of all peoples of the
An important component of the President's trip to Shanghai is in
his bilaterals with the Presidents of Russia and China and the
Prime Ministers of Japan, Malaysia and South Korea.
In between the formal sessions, the President will be closeted
with his National Security team. For instance, Mr. Bush will be
briefed by his Secretary of State, Gen. Colin Powell, on his
trip to Pakistan and India.

Madras plaid salad, take two
Author Notes: The madras blend of fruits and vegetable remain fresh and vibrant with their all colors in this salad. I really like all the contrasts- sweet and sour, crunchy and soft, bright and dark. When I first made this salad I had many additional ingredients, most of which were grated. In the revised version, I am suggesting threadlike julienne instead. You can then toss and "weave" the ingredients together, loosely like thread woven into a cloth, with a very simple light dressing to accentuate the madras plaid effect. - Sagegreen
Serves 4
- 2 beets, one red and one golden preferably (about 1 cup)
- 1 sweet plum or pluot, julienned (@ 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup fresh mango, julienne sliced
- 2 small carrots, preferably of different colors, julienned (@ 1 cup)
- 1 1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled and thinly julienned
- 8 lemon verbena leaves, rolled and snipped
- pinch of cumin, optional
- pinch of kosher or pink Himalayan coarse salt
- juice of 1 lemon, preferably Meyer, or sweet lime
- juice from half a sweet orange
- drizzle of EVOO, first cold press preferred
- Assembly all of the salad ingredients, julienne sliced (about an inch and a half long) in a bowl, allowing their colors to bleed into one another. Add the herb, optional spice, and salt. Gently toss to intermingle the ingredients.
- Squeeze the citrus juice over the salad.
- Drizzle with EVOO. Gently toss again. Serve slightly chilled.
