Callumbo - I do thumbnail a bit, usually they are just scribbles that get the idea across. I'm trying to put more of a focal point in my work and also trying to lead the viewer too I'm also a sucker for epic enviros, especially ones that the Guild wars team produce!
Bendragon - cheers man, gonna try and get more depth in my paintings as i go. I'll definately remember those three lvls dude

That latest image is awesome! Storytelling-wise, the backstory comes up very vividly, makes me wonder who and why did that and for what. The first image you posted drew me in too; it has that impact to it. ^^
Thanks for dropping by my SB by the way- I'd totally pick enviros over characters- but for now it's all practice, practice, practice. Keep painting those enviros! (Actually curious as to what your Character SB would look like- if you did have one.)
it's not the end that matters but the journey

I removed all of the internal shelves from the refrigerator side. I then removed the cooling panels from the bottom area. this exposed the fan assembly and cooler. I found ice all over the unit. I had to unplug the refrigerator and used a hair dryer to melt the ice away. I then found the sensor and replace it. After putting the refrigerator back together, I plugged it in and let it cool overnight. I also put a thermometer to validate that cooling was stable. it has been a week with the new sensor and the refrigerator has not frozen over and has been very stable.

Some interesting points in today's Houston Chronicle story about last night's game. Ausmus says Harrang is probably the most underrated pitcher in baseball. Yikes! I'm pinching myself.
Clemens suffers a familiar fate
Astros again fail to back ace in losing to Reds
By BRIAN MCTAGGART
Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle
The Astros' 100th game of the season was like so many of their previous 99, especially the handful in which Roger Clemens has been the starting pitcher.
For the fourth time in Clemens' seven starts, the fading Astros failed to score any runs while he was on the mound, falling 2-0 to the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park.
When asked by a reporter following the game if the lack of run support was "weird," Clemens responded: "I guess that's one word for it."
Clemens continued to defy age with another quality start, but the Astros continued to defy logic by getting shut out for the eighth time this year, including two in games Clemens has started.
"It defies explanation," said Astros manager Phil Garner, whose team was 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position. "I think our guys are trying so hard now that it's probably working the other way."
The Astros, who lost for the sixth time in seven games to the Reds, have dropped 10 of 13 games to slip six games behind Cincinnati in the National League wild-card chase.
"The urgency's here," Clemens said. "I'm really concerned about how I'm doing individually, but it's time that we put a streak together pretty quick or we're going to get way behind the eight ball and have to pull some magic out like we did the last couple of years. We have to win some series, that's for sure."
Stellar on road
Clemens (2-4) allowed seven hits and two runs in seven innings, but Reds starter Aaron Harang (11-6) threw eight scoreless innings to improve to 3-0 against the Astros this season while lowering his road ERA to 2.16.
Harang was ahead in the count all game and used both sides of the plate well.
"Aaron Harang has pitched very well against us and has got very good stuff," Astros catcher Brad Ausmus said. "In my opinion, he's probably the most underrated pitcher in the National League. He's tough on both righties and lefties with an A-plus slider. We knew one run would make a difference, and when they got that second run it sort of sealed it off."
The Astros had the go-ahead run at the plate in the ninth. Reds reliever Todd Coffey gave up two-out singles to Preston Wilson and Luke Scott and was replaced by Bill Bray, who got Eric Bruntlett to fly out to center for his first major league save. Closer Eddie Guardado, acquired from Seattle this month, was unavailable because of a stiff forearm.
"We can still have a strong homestand and be right back in it," Ausmus said. "The wild card is far from out of reach, and we've been in this position before. We can't stand on our heels too long."
The Reds pushed a run across in the first on the strength of three singles, including Scott Hatteberg's two-out line drive up the middle that scored Adam Dunn.
Touched in 7th
Clemens cruised through the third, fourth, fifth and sixth before Brandon Phillips led off the seventh with a double. He scored from third with one out when Harang put down a sacrifice bunt, and Phillips made a late break for the plate on the throw to first.
The Astros couldn't take advantage of their few chances against Harang.
With runners at first and second and one out in the fourth, Wilson hit into a double play.
"Preston hit the ball good with a couple of guys on base, and they made a couple of nice plays on the catch and turning the double play," Garner said.
'Frustrating night'
Scott (2-for-4) led off the fifth with a double and was at third with one out when Adam Everett failed to get a suicide squeeze bunt down. Everett eventually struck out and, after Clemens walked on four pitches, Biggio lined out on a nice play by Phillips.
"It was a frustrating night," Biggio said.
Lance Berkman, held out of the lineup with a strained groin, pinch-hit in the eighth with a runner at second and no outs and popped out to shortstop. Biggio and Mike Lamb couldn't deliver behind him.
"It was a good pitch to hit," Berkman said. "It was a better pitch than I thought he was going to throw 3-2. He was trying to bury that slider, and he ended up hanging it a little bit, probably almost too much. I just got underneath it."

Disaster Press Releases
SBA's Deadline in Virginia is January 13 for Physical Damage Disaster Loan Applications Due to Tropical Storm Lee
ATLANTA – The U.S. Small Business Administration reminds homeowners, renters, businesses and non-profit organizations of the deadline to submit disaster loan applications for damages caused by Tropical Storm Lee that occurred on Sept. 8-9, 2011. The deadline to file an SBA disaster loan application for physical damage is Jan. 13, 2012.
Anyone with insured losses should not wait for an insurance settlement before applying to the SBA. "If someone does not know how much of their loss will be covered by insurance or other sources, the SBA will consider making a loan for the total loss up to its loan limits, provided they agree to use insurance proceeds to reduce or repay their SBA loan," said Frank Skaggs, director of SBA Field Operations Center East.
Low-interest disaster loans are available in Fairfax and Prince Williams counties, and the neighboring cities and counties of Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Falls Church, Fauquier, Loudoun, Manassas, Manassas Park and Stafford in Virginia; Charles, Montgomery and Prince George's counties in Maryland; and the District of Columbia.
Interest rates are as low as 2.5 percent for homeowners and renters, 3 percent for non-profit organizations and 4 percent for businesses with terms up to 30 years. The SBA sets the loan amounts and terms based on each applicant's financial condition.
For additional information, call the SBA's Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 (800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard-of-hearing) or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Loan application forms can be downloaded from the SBA's website at www.sba.gov. Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.
Those affected by the disaster may also apply for disaster loans electronically from SBA's website at https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/.
The filing deadline to return applications for physical damage is January 13, 2012. The deadline to return economic injury applications is August 14, 2012.

Singapore scientists find 'new way' of creating stem cells from drop of finger blood
Published on Mar 20, 2014 11:53 AM
Scientists in Singapore say they have found a way to create human stem cells from a drop of blood pricked from the finger.
Previously, methods for generating these cells - called human-induced pluripotent stem cells - involved collecting adult cells from bone marrow, skin or large quantities of blood. These were then genetically coaxed into reverting into stem cells.
However, such invasive collection methods deterred some potential donors.
Researchers from the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) revealed their new technique on Thursday.

Ribble Valley's Performance Management system
We have improved our approach and commitment to effective performance management, including improvements to service planning, and formal systems to monitor and evaluate our performance.
The development of structured service and financial performance management arrangements, in order to ensure that our resources are made available and are used effectively, has been vitally important. We have taken steps to ensure that our policy documents are linked together where appropriate and that the budget setting process is clearly linked to our priorities for action.
The Council has introduced a structured performance management framework for all of our services. This provides clear, publicly available information to show our progress. Comprehensive service plans are produced, and these are reviewed and monitored annually to ensure continuous service improvement.
On a quarterly basis, performance information is presented Corporate Management Team and Service Committees. Key performance indicators representing the main functions and activities of the Council are tracked against the targets set in the Corporate Strategy, and monitored to ensure that performance is improving. Weak areas are closely monitored to ascertain reasons for poor performance, and remedial action is taken to ensure that they improve where possible.

I was looking at the latest pictorial from MouseTimes and they have a picture that shows Midway Mania and California Screamin's loading station from the same view. If they covered up the stucco in the station and replaced it with the clapboard seen on Midway Mania and replaced the metal sheet roofs with the elaborate woodwork now seen on Midway Mania's rooflines, the station would be an immediate visual improvement. Then they could do some remodeling to better cover up the concrete plain-ness of the queue, replace the plain blue handrails with more detailed ones, add more vegetation, replace those ugly canvas covers, cover up the plain wall in front of the station, and theme that big, metal roundhouse in the back of the station and voila! A better environment around Screamin's queue and loading station. It would better match the rest of the pier and phase out that ugly corner of the park.
The marquee could be replaced with some better too.
They could also cover those blue supports with more elaborate ornate pillars.

March 21st, 1930
My name is Edison Wong, and I am a well established member of a secret guild known as the collectors. We are a division within the Triads and the procurement of priceless goods in the name of the Grand Lodge is our line of work. Our rules are simple: (1) If you see something of value, take it. (2) Work for oneself. (3) Do not speak of the guild to outsiders. (4) Do not fail and (5) Should a fellow collector or their mission be compromised, relieve them of their duty. The concept of relieving our peers is similar to a concept used by the mafias of the western world, I believe they call it tying up loose ends. Although the rules we adhere to are fairly straightforward, the life we experience in contrast is comprised of complexities that may greatly hinder our ability to carry out our missions. The law, of course, is a major concern for all collectors, as are other secret societies, but more often than not the greatest danger a collector will be faced with is another collector. So as I arrived to the London Waterloo Train Station, I detected several of my peers following closely behind. I have come to London after being informed by a colleague of mine that a new item will be put on display within the British Museum called the jade tablet. My peers must have been tipped off by the same source so they will undoubtedly show when I move to collect the artifact
March 24th, 1930
I was able to catch a glimpse of the jade tablet during today's exhibition at the museum and I must say it is a fine piece. It was smaller than I had first expected, small enough to fit in my trouser pockets. The characters inscribed onto it are of an ancient form once used during the Xia dynasty, the meanings behind them are long forgotten but I have contacted my colleague and after a brief consultation I now know the onus of deciphering the tablet requires me to acquire yet another artifact, the Magic Spectacles. In legend these spectacles are said to be able to reveal the truth. The sound of it is rather silly, and had I not have been in this line of business for as long as I have I would have scoffed at the idea of a pair of magic spectacles but in my experience I have come across a medley of anomalies and have come to know that this world has many mysteries which man has yet to understand. I leave at dawn to rendezvous with my colleague at the British Library.
March 27th, 1930
Gaining the spectacles required no effort outside of meeting with my colleague. She simply handed them to me. The rumors surrounding these magic spectacles have turned out to be true and this woman has proven to be trustworthy, more or less. She will be a valuable asset to my assignment and will come in handy but the task of securing the jade tablet will most certainly be a difficult one, indeed. Even with her aid. The Museum will be on high alert during the next exhibition and I suspect my fellows will be present as well, hoping to take the glory for themselves.
Edison succeeded in obtaining the jade tablet and managed to escape the museum.

Remember Me
Nada was born in Maryland, a first generation Ecuadorian-American surrounded by five brothers and the sounds of cumbia, Ecuadorian folk, salsa, merengue and reggaeton. As a teen, he gravitated toward Washington's legendary hardcore punk scene, playing in bands while learning to DJ on college radio. A move to Baltimore landed Nada in the second surge of Baltimore club music, where he DJed alongside club icons K-Swift, Rod Lee and DJ Technics, while producing acclaimed club tracks of his own.
Nordstrom grew up in Virginia on the other side of the Washington beltway where skateboarding provided a contact point with punk, metal and hip-hop. In the late '90s, he swapped the skateboard for turntables and switched his college major from psychology to audio engineering. Soon, Nordstrom was the resident engineer for esteemed D. C. house heroes Deep Dish and piloting recording sessions with the likes of Stevie Nicks and P. Diddy, even scoring a Grammy nod along the way.
When Nada and Nordstrom came together in 2007, the chemistry was instant and the music was colossal. The group signed to Switch's Dubsided label where their debut debut EP, "Pussy, " immediately topped the charts on Beatport. Since then, Nadastrom have produced tracks for a slew of artists, including Kid Sister, and have done remixes for Kid Cudi, Benny Benassi, Christina Aguilera, Waka Flocka Flame, the Death Set and Alex Clare.

The Treasury Market Doesn't Like This Tax Cut Idea One Little BitIt may surprise some of you to know that here in America, we are in a new stage of democracy. In this new stage, how individuals behave at the polls is not relevant when it comes to governing the country. What matters is how people buy and sell assets, and how asset prices reflect the public's ire or pleasure with the way Congress and the Executive Branch are running the country. In that sense, we are not directly a democracy per se, but rather, a financial instrument-intermediated democracy. We are, to give it an official-sounding acronym, an FIID.Now, in a FIID, such as ours, it doesn't matter what individual voters say they want (individuals are, after all, prone to hyperbole and whining), or how individuals express their political desires through the polls (whether actual voting polls, or merely public opinion polls). Nor does it matter what economists might warn (economists are prone to doom, gloom, error and disagreement amongst themselves). It does not matter what a politician reasonably feels would be in the long-term, medium term or indeed, short-term best interests of the country. After all, who is to say what "best interests" means or whether one policy or another is in the country's "best interests"? Who, that is, but the capital markets - which in an FIID act as "The Voter". Substantial scholarly research proves that the capital markets are highly efficient when it comes to digesting information and predicting future outcomes. You can bet that what The Voter says is likelier than not to be correct, which is why it actually makes sense for politicians to ignore economists, their constituents, and their own common sense and simply do what The Voter tells them to do.Accordingly, if Congress does something and The Voter registers displeasure (for instance, by sending bond yields soaring), you can assume Congress has acted foolishly and, in fact, Congress should quickly reverse itself (as we saw during the TARP debacle of 2008). If The Voter registers pleasure, or perhaps, only a muted reaction to whatever Congress has done (or failed to do), then Congress has actually gotten it right and all the politicians can pat themselves on the back and take credit for causing the Dow Jones to run up higher (which we saw Senator Kerry do just this past weekend when he pointed out that since the Dow Jones is up 60%, it follows that Obama must be doing a great job).Now that we have established that America is an FIID, it's clear why we must now turn to The Voter and see what The Voter has to say about the new tax cut proposal. Well, Treasury yields seem to have exploded around 10% higher in the past few days, while stocks have sort of tread water. This is how The Voter expresses displeasure with higher deficits. The Voter is, in the loudest terms possible, giving two big thumbs down to Congress and our President. Thus far, nobody on Capital Hill is paying much attention to The Voter, but not to worry. As we have seen now in multiple examples around the globe, from Ireland to Greece to the EU at large, The Voter doesn't quit that easily.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.
Contrary to previous expectations, the equities markets worldwide have staged remarkable comebacks. Many broadly traded ETFs have seen their 50 day moving averages vault above the 200 day moving averages - often a bullish signal.Other factors support the bullish picture:
1) Ten year US Treasuries are at almost historic highs, and now offer negative real returns. After a 14 year bull run, bonds are, quite simply, over-valued. Other assets, including equities, should benefit as capital rotates out of fixed income.
2) The Fed will launch into QE2. QE1 forced equities into an explosive bull market. It seems unwise to assume it will be different this time.
3) corporate earnings continue to surpass expectations. Higher earnings combined with dour expectations is the stuff of bull markets.
4) Political strife is rampant, suggesting a very sour and pessimistic national (indeed, international) mood. Many widely read news stories deal with the un-sustainable path the world has come upon, and many new celebrities are perma bears. Sentiment is probably at a low point, which characterizes market bottoms and not market tops.
It seems likelier that a bull market will continue to push equities prices higher. The approach I have implemented to capitalize on that thesis is to invest in high yielding equities and equity-like assets - master limited partnerships, junk bond funds, high dividend growth stock ETFs, and preferred stock ETFs. My notion is that many of the investors leaving low yielding, high tax paying bonds will rotate into other income producers such as those I have already added to the portfolio model.
Going forward, the cash flow will be used to acquire relatively high beta ETFs with strong growth potential. These might include, for instance, ETFs focused on high growth regions - India, Latin America, China.
Should my overall thesis on a bull market prove wrong, the portfolio will churn out enough cash to help cushion the losses if the equities markets tank, and to capitalize on the fall by continuing to invest into market weakness. I can take losses in high risk equity ETFs, such as HAO, EPI, ILF somewhat in stride because I will be using income, rather than principal, to fund those purchases. Free money.
By the same token, if we do see a huge bull market in equities, my portfolio should lag somewhat. Preferred stocks are somewhat bond like, and will not offer the returns of common stock in a bull market context. Similarly, they are not poised to fall as far should the equities market tank. Junk bond performance is only somewhat correlated to equities, and would likely lag unless the credit markets stage a jarring recovery. MLP performance has little to do with anything, although a recovering economy may follow should equities perform well. Stronger economic growth often gives rise to more oil and gas getting pumped through pipelines, more shipping activity, and more energy infrastructure usage in general, which would benefit MLP performance.
200 day resistanceThe S&P 500, having risen to test the 200 day simple moving average, is observing the area as technical trading resistance. It typically wakes some days to establish an area as resistance, but if the 200 day continues to hold, it is likely that the markets will fall lower from here from a simple trading perspective. With September and October as historically weak months, that scenario seems particularly plausible. On the bright side, though, it seems markets are almost universally viewed as being likely to fall in the near term. Assessing the overall market tone, and investor sentiment, is practically impossible, but there are sufficient annecdotes out there to confirm that most people appear bearish. That may be the best news for equities markets, given that from a macroeconomic and technical perspective, and also as a matter of valuation, equities are not particularly attractive at this moment.

This can be confusing. Latitude lines run EW but are spaced in NS distances and on the right of the chart. Longtitude lines run NS but give EW angles. The distance between them at the equator is the biggest and at the poles zero. So stand on the pole and turn around and you do a 360 in longtitude, but your latitude stays the same.
What you are doing is trying to change your longtitude at the pole by 1 minute 1/360 of arc true but not a mile - only a mile at the equator. There is a formula that gives changes in longtitude as you near the poles. Someone once used the table to test my knowledge or rather more to establish superiority. I had shelved it as irrelevant as I had no intention of sailing near the poles and we were in the tropics at the time.

Video: iStruct robot ape stands upright thanks to its active spine
October 31, 2013
Back in June the world got its first glimpse of the iStruct, a robot ape developed at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and the University of Bremen. We predicted that in addition to the stability afforded by walking on all fours, the robot ape could feasibly stand up to free its hands for other kinds of work. Now the team has published a video that shows how their robot accomplishes this maneuver with the help of its flexible spine and sensitive feet.
In email correspondences with Daniel Kühn, iStruct's primary researcher, he explained that while it's referred to as a "space robot" (and is being tested in a mock lunar landscape), his focus was designing biologically-inspired robotic structures.
Years earlier he had designed the LittleApe, a much smaller, light-weight ape robot that had a flexible spine and simple feet. "The LittleApe robot was able to walk and to climb a fence, but the passive spine was, or is, a limiting factor," Kühn explains. And its single-contact feet, while good for a prototype, needed to be improved. That's where the iStruct takes things to the next level.
Currently, it may only stand and maintain its balance. However, its multi-contact feet could provide the necessary data to maintain the robot's balance as it transitions from a quadrupedal to bipedal gait. "There are only a few robots out there with an actuated spine that are actually moving and walking around," Kühn says. "We want to investigate whether it is beneficial for the locomotion or not – but we think it is. For example, in a two legged posture we have an increased arm range of motion, since the spine is active."
Recently, Boston Dynamics has proven than an actuated spine can help with locomotion; its WildCat quadruped is currently the fastest in the world, thanks in part to the flexing action of its spine. However, there are robots in development for the DARPA Robotics Challenge that will attempt to perform a similar move from four to two legs without a sophisticated spine. Both the DRC-HUBO, developed primarily in South Korea, and Carnegie Mellon University's CHIMP robot, are designed with the ability to move on all fours before transitioning to an upright posture for doing manual work.
Despite its successes, the iStruct won't be exploring lunar craters any time soon. "We are far away from the Red Planet robot AMEE," Kühn admits, and the project is due to wrap soon. Still, you can see it stand upright and twist and turn using its spine in the following video, which is pretty impressive in its own right.
Source: DFKI via IEEE Spectrum
That's not a spine and the "spine" has nothing to do with the robot's flexibility. What looks like a spine is actually just a flexible wrapping around the electrical control and power lines between the upper and lower torso.
The flexibility is provided by the struts around the chest/abdominal area of the robot.RogerInHawaii
wow, THAT is creepy- awesome, but creepy!socalboomer
Yeah. That spine is a wire bundle. The six degree of freedom motion base section is doing all the flexing. Those little struts are really interesting.Satweavers
There's a little rotary actuator at the top of each of those struts that's doing the work. It would be nice to know the scale of this thing.Satweavers

Prami, Letro gyno Oh my!
Prami, Letro gyno Oh my!
Will be running the fabled "prami-letro stack" to rid myself of a little PS AAS gyno. Nothing major, but my "best" muscles are mah pecs, so they look like tits without the gyno as it stands.
Have some thoughts before I begin, if Pramalamadindong is a dopamine agonist, would smoking daherb blunt/destroy its effect? Also would rubbing some Vicerate shmoulduh on mah nipz makem more tempted tah burn off le' adipose, or jut get inflammed and boobalicious?
Things I do know (to avoid useless proliferation of whats urrwurr on deez thredz already)
1. Not to expect much/permanent results
2. Taper, dosing, proticol
3. what gyno is or isn't (yahprolly dontave Tha BTs mahnig)
4. The human body is not (has not) made (teh-volved to) handle dis ish
5. You sir, are an effing genius (why thanks)
Sincerely, all input is acceptable and appreciated, if you have dosing proticol you think is going to be best that I must know then I wont hax ur shiyte, find you, kill you, and rape your dog. Instead I will most likely say something awesome like "thanks man, I might try that." Unless it involves prami up de az$, because I like my sphyncter dopamines intact, yo mamma like de flavuh.

I don't know what the hell I just read?
Could you post your protocol?
Im sorry for using confusing language. Essentially I wondering if inhaling THC from cannibis smoke will cause pramipexole to be mostly ineffective (due to the dopamine contradictions). Also I was wondering if rubbing eviscerate smolder of my nipples whilst running this protocol would be beneficial.
D1: .25mg of L&P
D2: .5mg L, .25mg P
D3: .75mg L, .5mg P
D4: 1mg L .5mg P
From there I plan to stick to that ED for 40 days, If results are not apparent within 14 days I plan on adding an extra .25mg to both doses.
why is this in IGF1 section I dont get it
Wrong section.
I don't know what "Prami" is as i've been away for awhile now but i do know is if Letro is run right you can rid of all gyno or at least make it a negligible amount.
I can only comment on the Letro part of your stack. I got Gyno about 8 weeks ago for the first time, been using gear for 20 + years. I know there are a bunch of dosing protocols out there but here is what I did and it worked great. 1.25mg EOD for 4 weeks, then down to .63mg EOD for two weeks, .3mg EOD since. The sensitivity in the nipples went away after 7 days and the lumps were all gone in three weeks. The stuff really hits your sex drive hard, everything still works fine but you just don't have the desire. When I cut back to .3mg the sex drive started to return. I am starting my PCT on Monday and I plan to run the letro at an even lower dose through PCT.
Good Luck
I suppose I put this in the IGF1 section because I associate peptides with Pramipexole, and loosely with letrozole. I apologize for the confusion I may have caused. Prami is a dopamine agonist, used to treat parkinson' (which is a result of too much dopamine).
I have gyno just purchased letro 0.5 mg and 1.5 mg and prami 0.5 mg i do not know the proper dosage nor the conversion rate if some one could please help

I had a small lump under the left nip and very sore and puffy left nip... and I used .5 mg letro for 5 days then .25mg for another 3 days then two caps erase and for 2 weeks and it went down significantly. No puffiness in the nipple either.
Watch the letro... I tried 1.5 mg one day and I got super dizzy...had vision probs too... Prob ****ty research chems and not the letro...now that I think about it.
Gyno Killer!
Here's some info that got me started... My shiz wasn't too bad so I didn't need to run it as high as that guy...
I'm running androhard next... Heard it works wonders for gyno prevention/reversal.

Would have been a 5 Star
This is the best, most practical vessel for oil and vinegar on the counter or on the shelf! It is simply glass with a stainless steel and nylon/plastic/silicone stopper. Couldn't be easier to fill, clean and use. The only reason I didn't give it a five is that there was a minuscule chip in the glass on the collar. I figured it would cost more to return it and the chances of a bigger chip or larger problem weren't worth the risk. Take a chance on this, it is simple you'll love it.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?

Almost Perfect!
I really like this dispenser which I use for my olive oil. It's the perfect size for me! Not too big, not too small. I gave it four stars instead of five because it does drip a bit, but no big deal just need to dab it once with a napkin. Also because I would of liked it to be tinted a darker color to protect the oil rather than having it clear. Other than that, this item is great!I recommend this product.

Very good product
I really like this product, but the plastic insert that holds the metal spout has me concerned that it might not stand up to repeated washings and opening/closing. I use a lot of olive oil so I do fill it regularly and it seems to be getting a little loose after only about 10 hand washings although not dripping or anything yet. I still love it and wouldn't trade it for anything.I recommend this product.

I think the opening in the stopper is a little too wide. Salad dressing pours out instead of dribbles, and you have to put your finger over the hole while shaking it up first.

just the right size evo dispenser
The bella dispenser is perfect for my use. Is displays well anywhere and allows the right amount of oil to be poured for any preparation. The only problem I have found is that it doesn't have a well at the bass of the stopper to catch drips and the stopper is a lttle loose.I recommend this product.

TravelPod Member ReviewsWyndham Grand Desert Las Vegas
On check-in we were greeted with smiles and pleasant attitudes from everyone. The gal at the front desk gave us a choice of 3 rooms with different views and we told her to choose the one she thought was best. And boy did we get a great room. Top floor of tower 2. Great Strip view.
The Jacuzzi Tub worked great, the wasshing machine worked, the fridge was cold and waiting for our Wine, water, and cheese.

Historical Traveler Reviews Wyndham Grand Desert Las Vegas
3 Words....Won-Der-Ful!!!
I LOVED this resort! We only stayed there for 4 days but we wish we could have stayed longer. The resort is rather new and close to the strip. We even walked home a couple of nights but during the day, it's pretty hot outside, so we would just catch a cab or take the resort shuttle to Harrah's, which is conveniently located on the strip. I loved the fact that there was an adult and kids pool. Honestly, there isn't a negative thing I can say about the place. I loved it and within 24 hours of me returning was planning my next vacation there again! You can't go wrong with the Fairfield Grand Desert!
What a wonderful resort!
This place is incredible!!! Very luxurious accomodations and at a great price. My friends and I were looking for a 2 bedroom place for a week and we hit the jackpot! The resort is beautiful with 2 pools with float toys, multiple hot tobs, planned activities, a great deli, a convenience store and wonderfull rooms!
It is a long walk to the strip, but the shuttle to Harrah's is very convenient. Parking at the hotel is also easy and was rarely more than a few steps from the door.
We were never approached about time shares and felt no pressure to inquire. I would highly recommend staying here and plan on booking another vacation soon!
Parking garage is confusing and difficult to find elevator if parking in tower 1
The front desk, parking and concierge staff need to all take a tour of the parking garage. All gave poor or incorrect information about where and how to find the elevator's for tower 1. There is NO signage marking the elevators from level 1 on the tower 1 side (in contrast signage to elevator is clearly marked at tower 2). On level 2 the signage is so small that it cannot be read when driving around in your car in the dark garage so it is next to useless. Also, following the "exit" sign from the elevators at level 2 leads to a dead end with double doors opening into the courtyard. So be prepared for a confusion if you are assigned to tower 1 and enter the parking garage. Best to first just park outside and take a walking tour as this will save you time and frustration.
Once you finally find your room things get better. The housekeeping staff gets a super/wonderful rating. Really a nice job by those people. Grounds crew do a great job too.
Our A/C wasn't working but the service man arrived within a few minutes and fixed it.
I'd give my stay at Grand Desert top marks except for the frustration from lack of attention to details in the parking garage.
Fairfield Grand Desert Resort --5 star rating in my book
We stayed for 7 days during the month of May at the Fairfield Grand Desert Resort. My wife and I enjoyed a two bedroom, two full bath, full kitchen unit. The unit was very spacious, clean, and very tastefully decorated. The property has two very nice pools with ample lounge chairs. The staff was very friendly and accomadating. The timeshare sales staff didn't bother us one time for a presentation. I have stayed at many of the nice hotel/casinos within Vegas and would opt to stay at this property everytime, as we visit vegas two times a year. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Resort with class
As a first time vacationer to a timeshare; interesting notes. Fairfield is huge, wear comfortable walking shoes. Panoramic views from higher floors. Word of advice, make sure the voicemail works in your room, laundry equipment works and tv remote has batteries.
Also, when making your reservations be specific re a 1 bedroom vs. 1 bedroom deluxe. Also, please note, that the rooms nearest to the elevator are for handicapped people.
On another note, this resort has activities planned for their guests. Also, free internet usage in a separate room for 1/2 hour. An interesting timeshare concept; just wish that was located closer to Las Vegas Boulevard instead of 4 blocks away.
Absolutely Awesome
I just returned from a 3 night stay at the Fairfield Grand Desert and also stayed for 7 nights last September 2003. The first stay 9/03 my wife and I were in a 3 BR-2 BA with a view of the strip and this time I had a 2 BR-2 BA with a view of the pool area. Both rooms were incredible for the price. I paid around $75 average for both stays and purchased them for an e-Bay seller. Everything and I mean everything including an in-room safe is included in the rooms. Full kitchens, very reasonably priced on property deli, 2 pools, 2 spas, activities room with free internet access, exercise room and a very attentive and helpful staff. They are about 2 LONG blocks off the strip and the corner of Koval and Harmon behind the MGM Grand. They run a shuttle to Harrah's until around 10 or 11 pm at night. I like the quiteness of the hotel as opposed to the casino hotels. The only down side I'd say is parking. It is on property but since you must enter through the lobby it can be difficult to park very close. Also the pool side view if you are very high say 10th floor to 15th floor you will occasionally hear aircraft from nearby LAS airport. Neither of these 2 would make me discourage a visit. NOTE: This is a time-share so you may be offered a tour but neither time was I pushed into doing it. The first stay I did and they gave me $50 for gambling at Harrah's. I'll never stay anywhere else in Vegas.....period.
Loving it!
This is a beautiful place to stay in. Why waste so much money on top hotels when you can stay in here and have a kitchen,living room, dining room and bed room at the same time. Its BEAUTIFUL! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
Very quiet and comfortable
This is a very quiet and comfortable place to stay. The staff on the front desk are very polite and friendly and I never saw a line at check in the whole time I was there. The rooms are clean, modern, spacious and incredibly quiet. The place was sold out but I never heard a sound from any neighbouring room. I was here for a conference and never had to wait more than 5 minutes for a cab in the morning unlike the lines I saw at the major hotels on the strip. Downside?...There's no daily maid service here, the place bills itself as a holiday resort rather than a hotel. Also if you want food and entertainment you have to head for the strip - the Desert Passage at the Aladdin is a 10 minute walk.Overall if you don't mind the 10 minute walk (there is a free bus for those that do) to your entertainment then this is a great place to stay.
Retirement Treat
Having been to Vegas several times over the years and stayed in Casino Hotels, I can truthfully say my last trip was the best experience ever.My favorite cousin, Linda Kelly took me along with her as a "Retirement Treat " for me. Your accomodations were wonderful. I thought I would not like residing off the Strip, but I totally wrong. The accomodations, atmosphere,customer service, peace and quietness was to die for. The shuttle service you provided made the Strip quiet assessible.The services for guests as well were wonderful. Your guest package was very informative and provided valuable information that facilitated our successful trip. Rest assurd, I shall return.
Very nice and classy place to stay
We purchased a week here on eBay. Upon arrival we were shocked at how nice the place was based on the price we paid. This is a Fairfield time share resort but it is probably one of the nicest places we have stayed. Free shuttle daily to Harrah's and if you are out too late it isn't too bad a walk back. The resort has 2 large pools, activity center, jacuzzi tubs in deluxe rooms.

Macau casino revenue in 2012 rose to $38 billion
Wednesday - 1/2/2013, 5:59am EST
By KELVIN CHAN
AP Business Writer
HONG KONG (AP) - Casino revenue in Macau climbed 13.5 percent last year to a record $38 billion, as the Asian gambling hub reinforced its position as the world's biggest gambling market.
Gross revenue from Macau's 35 casinos also hit a monthly record in December, rising 20 percent to 28.2 billion Macau patacas ($3.5 billion), according to data posted on the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau on Wednesday.
But gambling revenue growth eased off in 2012 from the year before, when it rocketed 42 percent to $33.5 billion, as China's economy slowed and wealthy mainland Chinese gamblers held back amid fears about a crackdown on corruption.
Analysts noted that the decline in Chinese high-rollers, who account for two-thirds of Macau casino revenue, has been offset by growing numbers of middle-class Chinese.
Chinese gamblers account for the bulk of visitors to Macau, a former Portuguese colony that returned to Chinese control in 1999. The semiautonomous region, an hour by ferry west of Hong Kong, is the only place in China where casino gambling is legal.
Despite the moderating growth, casino operators have pushed ahead with expansion plans in Macau, where companies such as Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Wynn Resorts Ltd. earn the bulk of their profits. Some 90 percent of Sands' profit comes from Asia, including half from its Macau properties.
In October, MGM received approval to build a $2.5 billion casino resort, its second in Macau, while local operator SJM Holdings received land approval to build a 2,000-room hotel with 700 gambling tables. Earlier, Sands said it plans a Parisian-themed resort that would be its fourth casino project while Wynn unveiled plans for a $4 billion resort.
The new projects, which are expected to start opening by mid-2015 at the earliest, will be centered around the Cotai Strip, an area of reclaimed land between two islands that is modeled on the Las Vegas Strip.
Macau's economy has boomed since it ended a four-decade casino monopoly in 2002. Gambling revenue there has now swept far past Las Vegas, where growth has been flat in recent years as the market has matured. Las Vegas revenue totaled $6.1 billion in 2011.

Belgium allows euthanasia of the non-terminally ill.

Since you're making the accusation. Put up or shut up.
There is no law preventing someone going to a different hospital.
Doctors at the first hospital -
They refused the twins because they, far more qualified than me and you, didn't see the twins are satisfying the criteria needed for euthanasia.
Allowing euthanasia of non-terminally ill makes sense in cases where extreme pain can last for years, it was not meant (I hope so) to create a hole in the law but to make sure euthanasia is applied right there where it is most needed: when someone suffers extreme pain but cannot die yet.
In the spirit of calming the tensions, I invite you to tone it down.
Different hospital -
True, I'm also huge fan of second, third and if needed be, fourth opinion.
People should seek second opinion whenever possible.
My point was that it's very indicative that you (not only you personally, it's a figure of speech, the humanity in general) have equally qualified professionals working in the same practice, reviewing the same case and yet the final professional opinions were different.
It indicates – in my opinion – that the law was written too vague and thus left too much room for misinterpretations. Deliberate or accidental.
I think that artificially ending lives cannot be left to the vague definitions and laws, because that is simply too dangerous.
