The artists in this show find inspiration "close to home" and can be identified by their own unique style. These plein air artists concentrated their work for this exhibition on the beauty of a landscape painting. In the body of work, each artist captures an element in nature and emphasizes that element as the subject and focus.
Dan Michael | A Pastel Painter
Dan's work always includes a ribbon of light. The artist explains, "These arrangements of pastel marks go beyond a mechanical process, they are orchestrated to try and capture the elusive qualities of light and atmosphere that display the extraordinary characteristics of common subject matter".
Kathleen Walsh | Oil Plein Air Painter
Kathleen is inspired by nature. She seems 'at home' when venturing out to capture a landscape. "Landscape is my guide. Nature the muse. Just being outdoors awakens the senses; melds surprise, consideration and wonder."
Amy HR Donahue | Oil Plein Air Painter
Amy is praised for the attention to detail in her work. She makes a small painting feel large! "Everywhere I travel scenes beg to be painted. Light and vivid color captivate me."

Full StoryFEATURE
Social Networking Has Risks Even Inside Companies
November 01 , 2010
Big enterprises have a hate-love relationship with social networking.
They don't want business reputations conflated with people's private lives. They don't want business details leaking out in Twitter feeds. When Facebook asks: "What's on your mind?" companies don't want the employee replying: "Just lost the Wal-Mart contract. Forget my stock options."
But they want to hire tech-savvy, gregarious Millennials who have spent their lives on social networks. They want their own workers to share expertise and ideas to build teams and boost creativity.
Internal Social Networks
Increasingly, enterprises are building internal social networks that are safely behind a firewall. There are internal networking analogs for Facebook, Delicious, Twitter, IM, YouTube, presence and wikis.
The hope is that the enterprise will be able to use those tools without taking too many risks. And enterprises want to make sure that employees don't decide to create their own insecure, ad hoc networks using smart-phones because they seem much more efficient than corporate e-mail.
As an executive at one management consulting company told me: "Employees are asking why they can't do at work what they do at home. If they give a presentation their instinct is to put it on Facebook."
Risks to Enterprise Social Networks
The problem is that internal social networks that are completely isolated behind firewalls aren't very useful. And opening up the firewalls to trusted outsiders such as customers, suppliers, third-party contractors, advertising firms and search firms runs many of the same risks that public networks have.
In fact, social networking behind a porous firewall may be even riskier than using public tools. Employees may get a false sense of being able to post frankly without being aware of who can see it.
"Plaintiffs' attorneys in sex, age or race discrimination cases eagerly examine social networks. "
It's vital for companies to train every employee about the benefits and perils of internal-social networks. IT departments can put in some safeguards, but they won't be able to completely overcome the technological imperative to share useful stuff. As Stewart Brand memorably wrote, "Information wants to be free."
One interpretation is that people who have it want to share it. Technology can prevent casual hackers from seeing corporate details, but it can't prevent employees from unthinkingly revealing corporate secrets.
Training and Policy Essential
Using your own name is a huge guarantor of corporate responsibility. Many companies have concluded that the first policy for social networks is that employees always use their true identity.
Even if a company is doing business using avatars in a Second Life community, they require employees to identify themselves by name and position. IT can help by authenticating every user who logs on to the corporate network.
Employees still need to be trained to be conscious of security risks. Sharing a list of tagged Web sites with a former colleague might seem harmless. But in aggregate, the listings might indicate a new marketing campaign or a potential takeover interest.
They also need to be conscious of the difference between making jocular comments on a social network and using informal comments on similar work sites.
Social Networking -- Legal Concerns
Lawyers say plaintiff's attorneys in sex, age or race discrimination cases eagerly examine social networks for signs that behavior at a company, especially by managers, may be viewed as hostile by certain groups. They worry about wikis where participants offer inappropriate suggestions for the office Christmas party that may be unearthed in some sexual harassment suit.
When outside contractors are allowed on project wikis, it's especially important for employees to temper casual remarks. But remembering to never disparage competitors or clients can be difficult, especially when the medium is designed to encourage freewheeling discussion. The problem is that even offhand thoughts are saved once they're written down.
Legal expert Steven C. Bennett, a lawyer with Jones, Day in New York, wrote in a January article on social-networking policies that it's vital to "Remind employees that any electronic communications and social networking activities for work-related purposes must maintain and reflect the company's standards for professionalism, including proper tone and subject matter."
He adds: "profanity and vulgar or demeaning jokes are inappropriate. Employees should also avoid discussions of conduct that is prohibited by company policies, such as alcohol and drug use on the company's premises."
So employees on corporate networking sites should feel free to speak up and share as if they were at a company cocktail party -- where they're drinking only club soda.

Best Answer Evan Mattson , 02 November 2012 - 04:10 AM
Hey Steve,
No problem, the shortcodes aren't locked to a few types of buttons. They just generate some link markup. No need to override existing button types.
The only thing you need to do is define the css class to style your extra buttons. You'll want to use LESS to create the styling as that is how the existing buttons are styled, and it's really quite easy to make your own. The majority of the styling is already handled by the button shortcode, you just need to handle the extra colors.
For example, if you wanted to create a button type "awesome", you would need to style that with the .btn-awesome css class.
Jumping into some quick LESS:
.btn-awesome { color: @white; .buttonBackground(@startColor, @endColor); &:hover { text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.25); color: @white; } &:active { color: rgba(255,255,255,.75); } }
What we just did is created a style for our awesome button that you would call with the pl_button shortcode with a type="awesome". We defined the button type's background color gradient (as well as the hover & active background colors and border color - dynamically), and set our hover & active states for the button text (based on the existing types). The .buttonBackground() mixin does a lot. Cool stuff.
The @startColor and @endColor should be replaced with any less variable or valid css color value (hex, rgb, rgba ..). The gradient goes top-down, so the start color is the top and the end is at the bottom.
To use this button, you would use it the same way you would use the others:
Via shortcode: [pl_button type="awesome" link="some url"]click here[/pl_button]
Old fashioned way:

Hope that helps, good luck! Go to the full post

JON CARDINELLI writes that Heyneke Meyer's Springboks will record their first victory against Australasian opposition when they return to Loftus Versfeld this Saturday.
Consider the excuses for the recent run of results: A new team is building; they're missing key players due to injuries; wins Down Under are rare; and their once flawless goal-kicker is horribly out of form.
These are excuses that may explain why the Boks are under-performing, but are we to accept that things are so bad that the Boks cannot beat the Wallabies and All Blacks in South Africa? Certainly not.
These are desperate times in the sense that the Boks are desperate for a winning result. They haven't won since that opening Rugby Championship game in Cape Town. Their last three results have been a draw, a loss, and another loss.
Forget about winning the Rugby Championship title, that opportunity has come and gone. The Boks need to do whatever it takes to get back to winning ways, and in terms of the two matches that remain in this competition, the first in Pretoria represents the best opportunity.
The significance of where they are playing shouldn't be understated. The Boks have a remarkable record at Loftus Versfeld, especially against the Wallabies. Since the first game played at this venue in 1963, the Boks have beaten the Wallabies in each of the five Tests.
What will also encourage the Boks is that the Wallabies are missing some key personnel. Injuries have taken their toll this year, and the team that plays at Loftus will be sans David Pocock, Will Geina, Quade Cooper and James O'Connor to name a few.
The Wallabies traditionally struggle on the Highveld, and only recently broke a 47-year losing streak. Kurtley Beale's last-gasp penalty in a 2010 Test played in Bloemfontein gave the Wallabies their first win at altitude since 1963. It showed that they are capable of winning in that difficult environment, that not every game played on the Highveld is a guaranteed win for the Boks.
Meyer and company will be mindful of this as they plan for the coming match. But then again, Meyer will be desperately hoping that Loftus works its magic, that the partisan crowd lifts the Boks, and reduces the Wallabies to quivering wrecks.
A loss at this stronghold would be a disaster. The Boks have already lost the last five Tests played against the Wallabies. They need to break that spell. If they can't do that against a young Wallabies side, playing at the fortress that is Loftus Versfeld… well then where can they do it?
The Boks will win this Saturday. They will break their losing streak against Australia, and record their first win against Australasian opposition under Meyer.
I wouldn't be as confident if this Test was to be played at sea level. Up on the Highveld, Meyer's Boks will use their Loftus lifeline. They will beat the Wallabies and take some much needed momentum into the following fixture against the All Blacks.
Mediocrity should never be tolerated, and Meyer himself has been open regarding his ambition to attain an 80% winning record. His current stats are nowhere near as impressive, but this coming Saturday could be seen as a start.
If the Boks can beat the Wallabies, then there is another big opportunity the following week when they host the All Blacks in Soweto. New Zealand may arrive in South Africa having already won the title, and so may not possess the type of motivation needed to beat the Boks at altitude.
Two wins in these last two matches would give Meyer a 50% record against the Australasian teams. It is a record that is no worse than what Jake White achieved in his first year in charge (2004), and is better than the Peter de Villiers-driven side of 2008 that won just two out of six.
Two wins for the Boks wouldn't be significant in the context of the Rugby Championship or in terms of climbing the world rankings, but it would restore the status quo.
For a side that is missing key players and struggling for form, Meyer's Boks will certainly view a two from four return against the Australasian sides as a satisfactory outcome.

IT reform bill needs to 'beef up' people section, experts say
Thursday - 2/28/2013, 7:02am EST
Inadequate program management continues to plague federal IT programs. Even after a decade of focusing on training and certifications, the underlying reason so many government technology projects flounder is the lack of management skills across the workforce, according to the Government Accountability Office.
That's why former and current federal officials advocated Wednesday that the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act, when it is introduced in the next three weeks, address this long-standing blemish on federal IT in new and different ways.
"We must do more to develop and retain the skills it takes to run and manage IT programs," said Richard Spires, the chief information officer at the Homeland Security Department and vice-chairman of the CIO Council, during his opening statement at a hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "The common denominator for successful program execution is a solid program office."
Spires said one way to ensure better program management is by creating a governmentwide Program Management Center of Excellence.
He said the center would be "staffed by detailees from agencies, which would harness best practices, tools, templates and training courses and drive the development of federalwide capabilities that programs can leverage."
Spires said poor program management is one of three root causes for failed IT programs across the government.
Two other root causes
The other ingrained problems are the lack of a standardize IT infrastructure and the need for speed and agility when it comes to acquisition and funding.
The goal of the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act is to update and improve how agencies buy and implement technology. The bill would be another attempt by Congress to tighten the oversight of federal IT spending, which has doubled over the last decade.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, released a draft version of the bill in September and has been seeking comments since from industry and government experts. He said he'd introduce a final version in Congress before members go out for spring break in March.
Wednesday's hearing was the second in a month featuring experienced IT and acquisition officials and GAO. At the first hearing, federal CIO Steven VanRoekel offered only tepid support for the bill.
Congress has not updated federal IT management since the E-Government Act of 2002 and the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996. Despite these two seminal laws, agencies have struggled in controling and managing IT spending.
Duplication continues to run wild
Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.), chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Government Operations, said agencies continue to invest billions of dollars in duplicative programs, including 622 different human resources systems, costing $2.4 billion; 580 financial management systems, costing $2.7 billion; and 777 supply chain management systems, costing $3.3 billion, despite the different laws and attempts by OMB to curb the redundant programs.
The draft FITARA addresses several longstanding issues, including improving program and project management. The draft calls for the Office of Personnel Management and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy to examine the need for a program management job series. OFPP and OPM also would conduct a pilot around creating an IT program management career path and consider eliminating unnecessary or duplicative certifications and training in agencies.
Committee members at Wednesday's hearing heard that the provisions in the draft bill to address project and program management need to go further.
Spires said all his experience inside and out of government shows him that having these experienced program and project managers makes a huge difference in delivering successful IT systems. He said that's why creating a center of excellence is so important to the civilian agencies.
Most civilian agencies develop program managers internally and the governmentwide efforts, such as the Office of Management and Budget's 2005 memo requiring agencies to focus on project management, haven't taken hold like expected.
For example, DHS recently launched a new IT career path for its employees. It includes career profiles for 11 IT functional areas across three career levels-individual contributor, manager and senior leader. Spires wrote on the CIO Council website that "[t]he profiles are designed to help employees determine how to best prepare for new opportunities in a particular function, providing insight into typical roles, major responsibilities, general sphere of influence, competencies that contribute to success and critical development experiences."
An aging IT workforce
The Defense Department, on the other hand, has a more structured program management training and career path.

Happy Friday, all!
Chaya and SMM, I am super jealous of your outing (in a good way!) - I anticipate you are going to have a FABULOUS time in each other's company, and completely terrorize the SAs. Please do report back on the board!
Off to a work retreat (even though I'm on borrowed time there, I am glad to still be included!), then DH and I are off to NYC for a long weekend -- Our present to each other for our 20th anniversary. I will likely be off-line for a few days, but will report back! We have absolutely no fixed plans, just wander and come up with things to do on the spur of the moment.
Today I'm wearing my very very favorite of the Parfums MDCI line: Parfum MDCI Invasion Barbare. By extremely talented perfumer Stephanie Bakouche (I sang her praises to Frederic Malle when he was at Barneys in Boston last fall... Told him he should turn HER loose in his perfume studios and see what masterpiece she comes up with!)
Notes: Grapefruit, bergamot, violet leaves, white thyme, cardamom, lavender, ginger, cedarwood, vanilla and musk.
My SoTE will be L'Uomo Trussardi, which always makes me think of Scentemental, from whom I got this gorgeous (and sadly discontinued) juice. Hope you're doing well, Scentemental, wherever you are.
Top Notes: Mandarin, Bergamot, Lavender, Tomato Leaves.
Middle Notes: Cedar, Spicy notes, Floral notes, Geranium.
Base Notes: Amber, Woods, Sandalwood, Okumal, Patchouli, Vanilla, Tobacco Leaf.
Its thought that people who hope too much will just waste their life away and never get down to doing any real work. Theyre confusing Hope with Wish, its lazy cousin... When Wish whispers, Something is just around the corner, what comes or not is never what was wished for. When Hope whispers Something is just around the corner, something always is. -- Charlie Elberson
My sale thread has some of my underappreciated fragrances looking for a good, new home...
Good morning, TGIF! I'm giving Estee Lauder's Sensuous another try this morning. Fortunately, the woods don't overhwelm. It's easy to like, and I think it will be just as easy to forget when my sample is finished.
Have a great day!
Chaya and SMM, enjoy your time together!
WOW, ComDiva, 20 years of love is quite an achievement....congrats to you and the Mr. - wishing you a wonderful anniversary
Repeating my yesterday's SotE, Esteban
Light, refreshing, spicy leather...not earthshattering, but perfect for summer.
Head: cardamom, lavender, fresh mint
Heart: violet, pink pepper, clove
Base: patchouli, vetiver, leather, amber
Ah, I forgot: TGIF!!!!

Hi all!
I´m wearing the lovely, rich Sacrebleu (Patricia de Nicolai) today. We are enjoying some warm & sunny days here in the south right now; perfect for all the music festivals daughter and friends are visiting.
Alice Cooper played at the Norwegian Rock Festival last weekend, and he was sorry he hadn´t time to test the wonderful golf course we have here.
Hubs is up in the mountains, fishing (as usual), so my plans for the days is to do what I´m best at - being lazy.
Have fun Chaya and SMM!!!
L'Artisan's Iris Pallida today.
Creamy, spicy....yes. But sadly: no peachy note for me in Enlèvement. That is all jasmine, spices and wood on me.
But the more I switched from one wrist to the other, the more I got the impression of Fendi's Theorema. I crossed my wrists and smelled them together....Theorema's stepsister
I must say that I am surprised that these two fragrances really work for me in summer, but of course it is not terribly hot here at the moment.I promise I will try the MDCI in serious heat. Let's see if I can get those 'wonky' notes.
The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp
Whisperingleaves, I adore your smell! One of my faves, for sure.
Chaya & SMM ~ look out SA's, here they come! A dynamic duo...we want scoop!
ComDiva, congratulations to you and your Mr. 20 years ~ Bravo!
As for me, we (the family) are planning on enjoying the county fair - and topping off this annual event with cheering through the demolition derby! My 9 year old son thinks this is the coolest thing ever. My almost 20 year old daughter thinks it's a hillbilly fest. It's really a bit of both, but it's a howlin' time every year!!! Soooooooooooooo, while I'm pretty sure Dzing would be the most appropriate scent to wear, I'm going with AMARIGE. Why, you ask? Well, I really don't appreciate some of the fair's smells wafting into my air-space...like the B.O., assorted animal odors, overflowing restooms and or port-a-potties, and even the smell of burning oil mixed with hot asphalt....I prefer to be surrounded by a sillage cloud of gorgeous flowery freshness!!! That's why!!!
So I'm wearing my Givenchy LOUD & PROUD today! Have a fun Friday everybody.
Oooh Tao, I got to try Fougere Bengal recently and was impressed. You said I would be and I was. You so wiiiiiise! :-)
I hope I don't offend anyone by saying this but it made me think of sexy gardeners. Tarry string (string dipped in tar), rough leather gloves, greenery... Did you see Sean Bean as Lady Chatterly's lover? Oh my! (Tries to fan herself and pretends to be prim. Fails miserably. Grins filthily.)
Enough of that. I'm in Iris Poudre today. It's so beautiful and I overlook it most of the time, trying new things.
Next time I'm in Zurich I'll have to have a smell of the MCDI line. They sound very interesting.
I'm still househunting and trying to pack up and tidy up our flat before we have people round to see if they want to rent it.
Have a lovely day all, and a great weekend. Special congratulations to ComDiva - 20 years together is a wonderful achievement. How come no-one mentions the occasional hard work and tongue-biting that romance requires to flourish?
Ubu - do me favour and shout a 'yee haw' for me at your hillbillyfest. Sounds fantastic!

Happy friday everyone!
Went over to a friend's house for morning tea (that extended on till dinner out) with some of the girls. I was so in love with Ava Luxe Milk by the time I went to bed last night that I felt I just HAD to wear it again. Even now... a good 16 hours after application I can still smell it. Now that I've warmed up with some flower tea (out of my new teapot and cup set) and a warm blanket around me, the sweet scent of Milk is really projecting again! Despite my doubts from yesterday, this one is going to the wishlist!!
Headache's gone (whew!), but still queasy. Not ready for fragrance yet.
Hi Sakecat, please do not feel bad: I have tried Au Serail in different weathers and it still does not work for me. Not very well, I might add. Yesterday I got a raw onion note on top of everything else messy (was it chlorine bleach?) on pretty flowers, would you please elaborate how "wonky" yours was?
Today I finally figured out why my mostly flower and herb garden is not growing that pretty as last year -- not enough water! Duh! The only herb that grows strong is dill and I do not even pickle.... I need too! I also saw that the neighbor just dumps buckets of water as opposed to my using a watering can -- and did it too. All wearing Trussardi Python while it is still slightly coolish out there. I am sure we will be at or over a 100 F again. Can't wait for the summer to be over with, I had enough.
My headache's finally gone too.....another whew (mine) added to Quarry's. These big storms seem to bring them on.
Any way....ComDiva & DH, Congratulations! Have a wonderful time together this weekend!
Chaya & SMM I know you two will have a blast. We can't wait to hear the details.
Wordbird, househunting is serious WORK. {{{{{{HUG}}}}}
I'm with uda today but in a different Givenchy, Givenchy III, equally "loud & proud", I might add. (We love country fairs, I like to see the animals 'tho.)

Belle en Rykiel, thanks to finding two tubes of the lotion at TJMaxx for $7.99 each. It's probably far too sweet for the heat, but I'm over surprising myself with things I bought two years ago and never opened.
Chemistry by Clinique.
I was wearing Datura Noir by Serge Lutens to work, my colleague complained it is a bit too sweet and it reminds her of one of the Givenchy scents? Later in the evening, I switched to Tubereuse Criminelle, and she said this is way out of her comprehension, ha ha ha.

Bois d'Orage today. The fact that this is supposed to be an "ultimate masculine" and "virile" keeps haunting me. I keep sniffing myself, thinking, "Really? Masculine? Really?" Shrug.
It's a very, very feel-good scent for me, evocative of many enjoyable hikes. It smells like I'm standing in the middle of a yellow, late summer meadow filled with dried grasses and pollen. Funny, because this name translates to (I think) wet wood.
Have a great weekend, everyone! I'm going hiking!

Chaya and SMM, have a blast!
Trying Le Labo Rose 31 today (thanks, Aiona!). It is a bit spicy for my tastes, but I love how the rose interacts with the spices. The only rose frags I've tried before were too sweet for my tastes (Stella, I'm talking to you). So I'm looking forward to exploring "rose plus" frags.

For the evening - test-driving some beach-marine scents, thanks to this thread: http://community.basenotes.net/showthread.php?t=212818
Creative Universe - Mare: opens light and airy and slightly briny - a hint of cedar and some spices. Virgin beach, clean and glistening - deserted.
Calypso - Marine - hot black sands of Martinique, Euoros with sleek tanned bodies wafting expensive oils. more than a hint of skank over salt.
TDC - Sel di Vetiver - flowery...iris and patchouli with a hint of celery but no vetiver. Thatched huts on a crescent beach of blinding white sand and impossibly aqua water.
Il Profumo - Aria di Mare - Hibiscus and gardenias and freesia growing right down to the rocky shore - you have to walk thought herby patches to get to the water. Frou frou. Sweet.
For the wild beach experience - so far Beth Terry is leading the pack.

Well, folks-
SMM and I DID NOT HAVE EVEN ONE SNIFF !
We met, ate wonderful sushi, and chatted for nearly 3 hours straight- we could have talked all day.
What a lovely, warm, kind man he is.
Handsome, snuggly, brilliant.
Dear, dear soul.
I hope to do it again, some time- or feed him, sniff through my crazy collection.

Have a marvellous time !

It is a very late post but this was an awesome day.
Chaya and I met and we talked for three hours over sushi that seemed like 15 minutes.
We spoke of many things, fools and kings, but nothing better than meeting a new friend.
She is incorrect that we didn't sniff anything. I sniffed Parfum D'Ida on her and I'm pretty sure she sniffed my SotD
Yohji Homme
on me.
For the day no SA's were harmed in the making of this friendship.
Next time I'll have to see if I'm man enough for two Chayas.
If my heart can't take it I will expire with a smile, of that I'm sure.

I bought this winch about a year ago. I have only used it two times and both times it has performed well. On one occasion where I got stuck the winch pulled me out of a hole I was bottomed out in will ease. Honestly for the price there is no better winch than this in my opinion. If you want a winch on a budget then a Smittybilt is the way to go.

McQuade, Bartsch and Hinman Lead Women's Soccer to 2-1 Win at Erskine
October 3, 2009
Story Courtesy of Erskine Sports Information
DUE WEST, S.C. Pfeiffer University scored two second half goals to push past Erskine, 2-1, in women's college soccer action Saturday afternoon at Huggins Field. With the win, the Lady Falcons jump to 5-3-3 overall and 2-1-2 in Conference Carolinas play. The Flying Fleet drop to 3-6, 3-3.
After a sluggish 1st half that saw only two shots on goal, both by the Falcons, and a 0-0 tie, Pfeiffer got on the board first at 50:05 when Lindsay McQuade gathered an Ashleigh Rhoads corner kick in the box and rifled it home.
Pfeiffer struck again five minutes later at 55:12 when the Falcons goalie Suzie Hinman bombed a punt three quarters of the field and teammate Kirsten Bartsch outran the Fleet defenders for the ball, then did a spin move in the box before slamming the ball past Erskine goalie Si'Ara Washington (Mt. Pleasant, SC).
Pfeiffer's 2-0 lead was cut in half at 70:58 when Erskine freshman Molly Harpe (Anderson, SC) fired from the left wing from 25 yards out to make it 2-1. The Fleet were unable to put any serious threats on the Falcons after that.
The Lady Falcons soccer team gets back to action on Tuesday afternoon hosting the Barton Bulldogs in a Conference Carolinas match at 2:00 p.m.

Your Waters Supply
Bermuda is one of the few places in the world that uses a roof catchment and tank system to collect and store rainwater for drinking purposes. This method provides every residence with its own supply of low-cost drinking water. The quality of your tank water will depend on how well you maintain the water system.
Follow these Water Conservation tips and reduce the amount of water you use, and the amount you waste!
Well Water
A well is usually a good investment as supplementary water supply and is good to use for flushing.
To install a well:
It is unlawful to pipe water from wells to a home faucet where it can be used for drinking, cooking or to top up your water tank. Well water can be contaminated from many sources including your cesspit.

Q:With using this product about every day about how long will it last for??Asked on 12/21/2014 by NRr
2 answers
A:I agree with the answer below, it really depends on how you use it though! If you use it after a shower on wet/damp skin, I would say it would last at least 3-4 weeks.Answered on 12/30/2014 by Elizabeth from LUSH Direct
A:If you use it in the shower with the water running over it, maybe a month of daily use. You will get more out of it if you turn off the water when done, apply it and just simply towel dry. I want to say maybe a month and a half. My massage bar that I keep away from the shower last longer. This one is just so moisturizing that I find myself wanting to buy it again.Answered on 12/27/2014 by mke lushie from Bedminster, NJ

Q:Are you supposed to rinse this off?Asked on 8/25/2013 by Tessica Jazzy
1 answer
A:King of Skin is best used in the shower or bath. Once you have massaged the oil into your wet skin, lightly rinse off, but ideally most of the oil will remain on your skin and absorb once you are out of the shower or bath. Pat dry gently so the oil stays on your skin and not on your towel! You can either apply the bar directly to your skin, or rub the bar between your hands and then apply the oil to your body.Answered on 9/25/2013 by Anonymous

A:King of Skin is a great option to use in the shower or bath! You could try Honey I Washed the Kids or Sultana of Soap, which are both really gentle and moisturizing options. Taking a look at one of our shower smoothies, like Dream Wash could also be really helpful!Answered on 8/21/2013 by Anonymous
Q:Can you refrigerate this? I have no air conditioning and I am saving this as a gift for Mother's Day. It seems oily and I keep thinking that it's meltingAsked on 5/6/2013 by Heather from Portland, OR
2 answers
A:The body butters are made up of a combination of cocoa and shea butters, along with essential oils, so it does tend to melt down in warmer temperatures. You can absolutely store it in the fridge if you like, as it will not change the make up of the product at all.Answered on 9/20/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:Yes, I would! It takes a bit longer to melt on your skin but better that than a melted mess!Answered on 6/11/2013 by Dengail from Michigan
Q:Can this product be used on the face?Asked on 2/23/2013 by megan
1 answer
A:We do not suggest using King of Skin on the face, as it is formulated for use on the body. The skin on the face and body are very different, and therefore have different needs. For the face, we recommend sticking with the facial moisturizers and/or facial serum.Answered on 8/16/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:How do I fit it in my body butter tin?Asked on 1/9/2013 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:Unfortunately, because of its shape, King of Skin does not fit in the body butter tin until you have used it and melted it down a couple of times. In the meantime, just make sure that you are storing it in a cool, dry place to ensure that it doesn't melt.Answered on 3/5/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:How do I keep my hair from getting greasy? Since I have this on my back and hands, when I tried to dry my hair it was greasy and wet from this product.Asked on 2/25/2012 by Anonymous
4 answers
A:I'd recommend washing your hands with your favourite LUSH Soap after using the King of Skin and prior to touching the hair. If you are using it in the shower and finding your hair becomes greasy, I'd recommend applying the King of Skin on your body, first, and then shampooing and conditioning your hair. Be careful to avoid using the King of Skin bar on the neck, shoulders, or upper back where the hair may sit.Answered on 2/27/2012 by Megan from LUSH
A:try and wash your hands before you dry your hair! or try to pat some grease off with a spare towel after a few minutes of letting the oils soak into your skin!Answered on 4/3/2012 by clarrz from Illinois
A:I use body butter last in the shower, rinse off, wrap my hair in a towel, and use a 2nd towel to dry off. hope this helps!Answered on 5/4/2012 by Reannon from Bucks County, Pa
A:I had the same problem at first! I always put on King of Skin after I get out of the shower. First I put my hair up in a towel. Then, I lather on the KOS and put on my pjs (covering my back and shoulders). Then I wash my hands before I take down my hair and dry it. Grease problem solved! Hope this helps! :)Answered on 2/20/2013 by Danielle from San Diego, CA

Lonely in America
As part of the Phi Beta Kappa series, Robert Streeter speaks at the Athenaeum on November 15, addressing the topic "Lonely in America." In this lecture Dr. Streeter compares the differing approaches British and American novelists of the 19th century take toward certain common themes, such as marriage choice, inherited wealth, and figures of authority. The lecture draws on the fictional works of James, Eliot, and Hawthorne to suggest how Americans saw their new society.
Dr. Streeter is Edward L. Ryerson Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus at the University of Chicago, where he taught from 1947 until his retirement in 1986. During his 39 years at Chicago, he was dean of the college and dean of the Humanities Division.
Since 1976 Professor Streeter has been one of the principal editors of Critical Inquiry. He also served for 20 years on the editorial board of Modern Philology.
Dinner will be served at 6:00 p.m., following a 5:30 reception. Dr. Streeter's lecture begins at 7:00 p.m.
Be sure to sign up for this event using the coupon.
The Discovery of the AIDS Virus
Discoveries in science are critical to the well-being of our society. On Wednesday, November 16, the Athenaeum is honored to host Dr. Robert C. Gallo, chief of the Laboratory of Tumor Cell Biology at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland.
Dr. Gallo is a leader in studies of the molecular biology of retroviruses, a special class of viruses that causes cancer in animals and humans. He has been universally recognized for his achievements in pioneering the entire field of human retrovirology.
Following the initial clinical description of AIDS patients in 1981, he and his colleagues began an intensive search for the cause of this disease. This culminated in the isolation of the causative agent, and made definitive diagnosis possible. It also led to screening of the blood supply for the virus, to prevent accidental transmission by transfusions, and testing to identify people who have been exposed to the virus, but who do not yet have symptoms of the disease.
Dr. Gallo has received many awards for his work, including the Albert Lasker Award in Medicine on two occasions. He has been head of the Laboratory of Tumor Cell Biology since 1969, and has published more than 700 scientific papers, most of them on the subject of retroviruses. He has been awarded ten honorary doctorates from universities in the United States, Italy, Israel, and Belgium, and received numerous international awards.
Lunch will begin at 12:00 noon and be followed by Dr. Gallo's presentation at 12:30. Please complete the coupon, if you wish to attend.
The Middle East: Who Wins?
As part of our Pulitzer Prize series and an upcoming series on the Middle East conflict, the Athenaeum hosts Karen Elliott House, foreign editor of The Wall Street Journal speaking on "The Middle East: Who Wins?"
Ms. House received the Pulitzer Prize in 1983 for a series of articles forecasting the failure of the American peace plan in the Middle East. The stories resulted from more than 20 exclusive interviews with King Hussein of Jordan, in which the king revealed secret promises made to him by President Reagan and which afforded rare insight into his own political motivations.
Ms. House won the Overseas Press Club's Bob Considine Award for best daily newspaper interpretation of foreign affairs for her two-part series, "Hussein's Decision," based on interviews with the king of Jordan concerning U.S. efforts to draw him into peace talks in the Middle East.
Ms. House's lecture is sure to be informative and topical. She will speak at 7:00 p.m., following a 5:30 reception and 6:00 p.m. dinner. Please complete the coupon to attend this event.
The U.S. and Israeli Elections: What They Mean for the Middle East
Continuing its special program on the Middle East, the Athenaeum hosts Steven L. Spiegel, highly acclaimed author and spokesperson on international politics, foreign policy, and the Middle East.
Steven L. Spiegel, professor of political science at UCLA, is the author of The Other Arab-Israeli Conflict: Making America's Middle East Policy, from Truman to Reagan (1985), which won the 1986 National Jewish Book Award. This book is acclaimed by Nadav Safran of The New York Times as addressing America's policy on the Arab-Israeli conflict "with admirable thoroughness, verve, and facility of expression."
Dr. Spiegel received his M.A. and Ph.D. at Harvard University in the Department of Government. He has published in many well-known magazines and journals. Spiegel's foreign policy reader, At Issue: Politics in the World Arena (1977), is the most popular of its kind used in the United States. In addition to his publications, Dr. Spiegel is frequently interviewed on radio and television to discuss current world events, especially as they relate to American foreign policy in the Middle East.
The Athenaeum is joining the Keck Center in sponsoring Dr. Spiegel's address, which begins at 7:00, preceded by a 5:30 reception, and 6:00 dinner. If you wish to attend this event on Tuesday, November 22, please complete the coupon and return it to the Athenaeum.

T Aenergy GTX Men RRP $ 199.00
T Aenergy GTX, which builds on the success of the Teton GTX model, makes use of significantly more technological materials and is thus both lighter and more durable. The very comfortable fit remains the same and is supported by the high-quality materials 2Tone PA, Hybrid Shell, Liquid Rubber Protection, EVA wedge with integrated Mammut Rolling Concept and the patented Base Fit lacing system. Also featuring individually cushioning memo foam, the scale-like arrangement of the vibram Scale sole, protective rubber tips and the functional GORE-TEX Performance Comfort Footwear Membrane.
Shoes must be protected from water, wet conditions and dirt. Since wet conditions and dirt affect leather's natural properties, such as temperature control and comfort, shoe care is a very important area.
- Use a brush to remove any dirt, or brush the shoe under running water to remove persistent soiling
- Leather cleaning products are not recommended since the soap damages the waterproofing treatment
- After cleaning the shoes, rub in the appropriate wax or silicone-based care products or polish them using a soft brush
- Dry leather needs nutrients in the form of wax (no grease or oil). Apply a very thin layer and then work into the leather
- The application of wax makes nubuk or velours leather appear darker and smoother. Liquid care products maintain the leather's original appearance for longer, but provide fewer nutrients
- The best way to clean the lining (textile, GORE-TEX® and leather) is using lots of cold water and a sponge. The lining retains high quantities of salt from perspiration. In the long term, these can have a damaging effect on textiles and leather lining materials.

Photos: [top] Jack and [bottom] Jill, before and after receiving treatment at the ASPCA Animal Hospital.
Can you imagine leaving your pets behind in your former home, even in the worst possible circumstances? We can't either. And yet, after Jerome Smith, 23, was evicted from his Harlem apartment, he chose to do just that to his six-month-old puppies.
When New York City Animal Care & Control officers opened the door to Smith's former home in September, they found Terrier mix puppies Jack and Jill, all alone and in bad shape.
The officers called ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement, and our agents brought the pups to the ASPCA Animal Hospital right away.
ASPCA veterinarians found Jack and Jill to be dehydrated, malnourished and severely underweight. Jack weighed 12.7 pounds and Jill weighed 8.5 pounds. By contrast, after being fed a balanced diet and receiving treatment by ASPCA staff, Jack now weighs 36.5 pounds and Jill weighs 30.3 pounds—a 187 and 256 percent increase, respectively.
The ASPCA arrested Smith in December. He was charged with two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, he faces up to two years in jail and/or a $2,000 fine.
Jack and Jill's story ends happily. On January 13, Jill was adopted! Jack is waiting for a forever family at the ASPCA Adoption Center, located in Manhattan. To learn more about how you can adopt Jack, please visit the ASPCA Adoption Center online.
Update 1/18/13: We are thrilled to report that Jack was adopted!
If you suspect you've witnessed animal cruelty, please report it.
This ignorant, uncaring person deserves to go to jail and pay the fine, both!
What is wrong with people today
I boggles my mind how anyone could do that. Take them to the shelter if you can't find anyone to take care of them!!! So glad this story had a happy ending for those 2 cute little dogs!!
I'm just so happy for one that there are so many careing people still out there like all of you that added your comments about these two poor little angels that were left to die a most harable death,and two that as I write this comment , those same two little angels are living happy and healthy lives. As for the person responsible for this act, do unto him the same treatment!!!!!!! If I were able I would show no mercy what so ever. I believe it is time for the human race to stop allowing these sick individuals just a slap on the hand with no real punishment, if that person did this to a child it would have been all over the news, but because it was two puppies nobody hears about it. As for the one comment that said fear and pain are no way to raise any living creature , I agree BUT, there are points at which people cannot be reconditioned to the way they were brought up, and therefore should not become the reason why so many animals and yes people should have to suffer.
There is a special place in Heaven for the ASPCA volunteers and workers. My two rescue doggies remind me of that every day. I am a Guardian so I can at least help them with contributions.
Thsnk God, these precious dogs, were found alive, close to dying, but were saved.!!!! Animals do so much to save,and help humans, its horrific, sad, inhumane, to harm, neglect, abandon, starve, and murder or attempt to murder them.!!!!!! This owner/perp, deserves as much jail time as possible.!!!!! And to be banned from ever owning any animals the rest of his life.!!!!
It's very simple. People who do this have no empathy--it's why it's completely predictable that if someone abuses dogs they will abuse people. They do not feel the other's pain in any situation.
How difficult would it have been to drop these babies off at a shelter?? I hate people sometimes (correction, often).
So glad they were both adopted. As for the owner all they will give him is a slap on the wrist and possibly pay a fine? I think after all these dogs went through that's not enough. He should spend the 2 years in jail and not allowed anymore animals ever. The law threats these abusers to easy and they don't think what the animals went through. They should ALL get Jail time.
This man should either have to do the community a service for once week for the rest of his life and never ever be allowed pets again and if caught with a pet of any kind them death row is the only place for him.
prison with three meals a day would be too good for someone like this.
Animal cruelty is wrong. If he couldn't afford the dogs them he should have taken them to the shelter or never had them in the first place.

Bloomberg BusinessWeek
On Monday I wrote about how the White House, in releasing its energy progress report and going on the TV news circuit to talk about it, was trying to deflect attention from Republicans' latest attack line: blaming the Obama administration for rising prices at the pump.Guess what? It turns out that most Americans don't actually blame the President for the high gas prices—at least so far. This, according to a Bloomberg National Poll out today. (More on the poll from my colleague Mike Dorning). Sixty-six percent of the 1,002 adults surveyed say that "the oil companies and Middle East nations who are taking advantage of [tensions with Iran] to make more money" are most responsible for higher gas prices.

I have identified the cause of the problem which occasionally causes the Hydra to hang when USB is connected. I believe this is the same issue RedNifre described in his "Problems connecting the Hydra to the PC" post (http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=648112) and is very likely the issue Brian Beckius recently described in his "hydra can't be programmed" post (http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=657119).
The Problem:
If you look at the following schematic you will see that the EEPROM serial data line (SDA) is pulled up to the reset net (RESn) with a 10k resistor.
I'm not sure what the original intent of this connection was. Possibly it was intended to allow a reset to force an I2C START (SDA falling edge while SCK high) followed by and I2C STOP (SDA rising edge while SCK high) in order to "reset" the EEPROM device. What ends up happening though is that SDA ends up pulling the reset net (RESn) down.
Since BOen on the Propeller is tied to ground the Prop has an internal 5k pullup (to 3.3.V) on RESn. That means that whenever SDA is low, RESn sits in the middle of a 5K/10K voltage divider and gets pulled down to nominally 3.3 * 10K/(5K + 10K) = 2.2V. Due to the tolerances of the resistor values (I'm guessing the 5K in the prop is not very accurate) I see an actual voltage during the contention of 1.83V.
Here is a picture of the Hydra resetting when the USB cable is inserted into my PC:
Blue is the base of Q5 (the transistor which pulls RESn low to create the reset)
Green is P29 (the Propeller pin which drives the EEPROM's SDA line)
Pink is RESn (the Propeller reset line)
SDA goes high on reset, so it is not fighting against RESn and the initial reset pulse happens pretty normally. I don't particularly care for the use of C15 to couple the DTR pulse into Q5. It barely makes 1.1V and barely manages to turn on the transistor, but it seems to work pretty repeatably. Parallax uses this same coupling method on their demo board. [I changed my mind about this. See later posting]
Now, here is a picture of the Hydra beginning its first EEPROM access
Yikes!. As you can see, the SDA transitions cause weird behavior on RESn, often dragging it down roughly 1/3 to about 1.8V. In some cases the Hydra will bang around a bunch, resetting a few times and eventually coming out of its "funk", but sometimes it will get hung in a steady state condition which looks like this:
RESn is stuck at 1.8 and nothing is happening. The Hydra appears hung, and attempts to download code from the prop IDE will result in the "No propeller chip found on any COM port. Scanned COM3" error.
This also explains why I have had very good success clearing the "hung" state by hot-inserting a cartridge into the cartridge slot; undoubtedly the insertion glitch on SDA knocks RESn out of its hung state.
The Fix:
The solution is to pull SDA up to 3.3V. This can be accomplished very easily by anyone skilled in surface mount rework. Rotate the 10K pullup resistor R21 so that it is no longer connected to the right hand pad, and then solder a rework wire from the far side of R21 to the right side of R41 (3.3V).
After the fix the USB-insertion reset looks like this:
And the initial EEPROM access looks like this:
And USB insertion/download no longer hangs the device.

On the radio this morning I heard an expert talking about the need for children to form a strong bond with their parents. I'm not sure if I'm interpreting the report correctly, but I have started socking away a few dollars every month for the first time our second daughter will need someone to post bond for her.
Legally I don't have to worry about posting bond for another 13 years, so in the meantime I'm focusing on surviving from day to day. Okay it's actually hour to hour. Here lately if there are 12 minutes of serenity I feel like I've been in Hawaii for a week.
The circus was in town earlier this week, and against my and The Wife's better judgment we decided to go. We had no reservations about the solid entertainment value of clowns, scantily-clad Russian babes and tap dancing elephants. Our concern was that the youngest of our entourage would see a group of people being applauded for carrying on as she normally does.
I was worried the performers would see her in the crowd and recognize her as one of their own.
Then again, would life as a carny be all that bad for Tax Deduction No. 2? She'd get to see the world, have cotton candy everyday and sell 10 cent cups of flavored ice for $5.
I picked up a pamphlet for their intern program on our way out.
When I attended E.B. Frink Middle School, a circus came through town one year and set up on the track field next to the cafeteria. The main draw of this particular circus was Tiny Tim, the eccentric performer who had a hit with "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" in 1968 and married Miss Vicki on The Tonight Show in 1971. Tiny Tim's last high profile gigs were as a guest on Howard Stern's radio show.
To make sure I was remembering this correctly, I did an online search and found many archived stories about Tiny Tim performing with the All-American Circus in 1985. I seem to remember him being interviewed on local TV by either Dick Jones or Slim Short.
During the segment, he whipped out his ukulele and sang a bit of "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" in a high falsetto that was believed to be the catalyst for a record-setting number of canine suicides that day.
Never heard of Tiny Tim? The man had a voice that sounded like a lady who ran out of hot water in the middle of a shower - yet he was on the same record label as Frank Sinatra. He probably should have been locked away in the nut house, but instead somebody put him on TV and he never had to get a real job - but I digress.
I didn't attend the circus that year, but a short time later I went to the circus with my buddy Frankie and his dad. This circus was held in Goldsboro, and the main thing I remember was being mildly shocked that someone invited me to go do anything. I can't remember how many pedestrians I hit on the way to work this morning, but I remember that trip to the circus from before I had to shave three times a day vividly.
The circus we attended on Monday ended up being pretty good, with the most impressive animal act being the dancing elephants.
There's always the question of how circus animals are treated, but I'm not Morley Safer. I don't know if those elephants are better off riding around the country doing a soft-shoe routine for the circus or being killed for their tusks in Kenya. I'm just an average schlub who had the chance to take his kids to the circus, so sue me.
I have to say the elephants also contributed significantly to the overall circus aroma. As soon as Babar and his kin strolled into the big top it was as if grandma just pulled a 400-pound funk pie out of the oven. It smelled like five or six county fairs had been superimposed over one another. I'm not sure, but this is probably the funk George Clinton has been seeking all these years.
The trapeze artists were fantastic, as were the three guys who rode motorcycles inside of a small metal ball. At one point the ringmaster reminded the audience that we were watching a trademarked performance, so videotaping of any kind was prohibited. I guess recent advancements in clown technology are highly valuable trade secrets.
The offspring really enjoyed the circus, which made the case of numb butt I came down with after sitting on a pre-WWII metal chair for two hours worth it.
