Tone You Up, Inc.Read MoreAn addiction. That?s what Cheryl Mullin, head trainer at Tone You Up, Inc., calls her relationship with fitness. Starting out as a dancer at the age of 5, she transitioned into cheerleading in high school and eventually track and field in college, where she fell in love with lifting, plyometrics, and circuit training. Ten years and three certifications later, Cheryl and her staff of dedicated trainers pass their passion on to others with their three pillars of training: fitness, nutrition, and overall health. Groups sprint and lunge across Tropical or Palmetto Bay Park during intense, one-hour boot-camp classes, all while Tone You Up's trainers preach the components of a healthful diet, such as eating plenty of protein and vegetables and not using cake frosting as toothpaste. Some staffers motivate the campers through cardio and strength training in the great outdoors, and others lead in-home personal-training sessions. Each one-on-one or one-on-two session begins with a thorough body assessment and fitness test. Based on results, trainer and client discuss goals and map a total lifestyle program to help shed pounds or boost athleticism. Tone You Up also offers programs for small groups, including onsite boot camps for workers at schools and offices.17535 SW 95th Ave.Palmetto Bay, FL US
Palmetto Bay CrossfitRead MoreThe instructors of Palmetto Bay Crossfit only teach one fitness class. That's because their inclusive sessions combine several forms of exercise into one comprehensive workout that strengthens the entire body. Each class melds strength training and gymnastics exercises with cardio and coordination techniques that nurture bodies, and the general structure of classes ensures that students of all fitness levels can take part. Additionally, each class incorporates sports-like competitions between students as a way to build camaraderie and get rid of any trophies lying around. Classes are further bolstered with nutritional guidelines.9250 SW 158 LnMiami, FL US
Brawling Buddha StudioRead MoreThe idea of the Buddha getting in a fight might be startling, but the image that Brawling Buddha Studio represents is one where both yoga and martial arts find a home. Atop hardwood flooring, yogis stretch, twist, and pose during classes with the help of longtime yoga instructor Hayley Milks. In a padded area nearby, kids and adults learn karate, muay thai kickboxing, and brazilian jujitsu from seasoned sensei Jimmy Guerrero.20435 Old Cutler Rd.Cutler Bay, FL US
Strong Frame FitnessRead MoreAt Training at Maximum Effort, trainers certified by the Russian Kettlebell Club lead strictly kettlebell classes to help clients burn calories and shed pounds. During classes, students combine resistance work with cardio techniques, hoisting the kettle-shaped weights in swings, cleans and snatches, squats, lunges, and dead lifts. Whether they're held indoors or outdoors, the classes work quickly; many students notice increased strength and core stability in just a matter of weeks.Different locationsMIami, FL US
Gables FitnessRead MoreFor 11 years, the instructors and trainers have helped clients achieve their fitness and weight loss goals.

With 30-minute one-on-one or group personal-training sessions or 40- to 45-minute group fitness classes, the fitness studio follows the FITT principle: Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type. Sessions depend on various factors that include strength aerobics, performance goal focus, exercise biomechanics, and effort. Experienced instructors lead students through group fitness classes that include Red Zone training, a group class for women that provides a heart-rate-monitored, full-body workout and strengthens the cardiovascular system in just 40- to 45- minutes with resistance and cardio training.10000 Southwest 82nd AvenueKendall, FL US
The Yoga Institute of MiamiRead MoreWith more than 30 years of experience teaching Iyengar yoga, director Bobbi Goldin oversees the impassioned instructors that lead her studio's classes for all skill levels. The weekly schedule includes multilevel I sessions that safely introduce the style's fundamental poses and emphasize proper alignment and spirit-animal management, and multilevel II classes that incorporate inversions and limbo-worthy backbends into the series and challenge attendees to sustain deeper stretches. The studio's gentle/special sessions easily accommodate students with physical limitations, leading pupils through one hour of slower-paced practice, which gingerly loosens joints, and 15 minutes of friendly ghost stories.8241 SW 124th StMiami, FL US

Rick Warren's talk at the Desiring God 2010 National Conference Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God conference follows below. Not surprisingly in some reformed circles online the recriminations continue. People wonder why Piper would invite Warren. But I very much enjoyed this talk. Warren is no lightweight.

New John Piper sermon: The Gospel and racial harmony
This past Sunday it was a joy to have John Piper with us at Jubilee Church in London. He seemed to be very much at home with us, and was clearly enjoying preaching one of the very few sermons he will preach this year.

In 2002, after 6 years in office, the Trustees forced Westling to resign (presumably at the behest of Silber, who had "soured" on him). Dr. Silber stepped in to take over presidential duties until a suitable candidate could be found.
This led to sloppiness in the interviews and contract negotiations. After only one interview Goldin was catapulted to the top of the committee's list, due mostly to the personal backing of Silber. Mr. Goldin remained the favorite even after he made demands during contract negotiations that would have likely disqualified him from consideration in more ideal circumstances. Among these was his desire to spend much of his time in Malibu, California where his wife would be living; according to a source Mr. Goldin "...didn't think he had to be on campus every weekend to be effective." The Trustees agreed to this, and even offered to subsidize this travel with First Class airfare.
Tolerance of such requests was reinforced by the hope that Goldin would use his former association with NASA to draw in more research funding and grants.
Despite some Trustees' uneasiness over offering Goldin the position, enough votes existed to do so. As a sign of support, the Chairman of the Board requested that the vote be unanimous. The Trustees capitulated, unanimously deciding in favor of extending Goldin the job offer.
Initial reports as to the reason for this vote were numerous, but mostly implicated Dr. Silber's reputation as a man reluctant to relinquish authority. Mr. Goldin reportedly had upset Silber loyalists on the Board by "slighting" Silber with his insistence that he would have no hand in university affairs after his departure. One report even alleged that Goldin had retained a psychiatrist to evaluate Silber in hopes of minimizing his influence.
The Boston Globe has since reported that Goldin had been planning a purge of BU's upper administration, and had already determined in detail who he thought should remain, and who should not. Mr. Goldin apparently had intentions to clean house; his plans included the sacking of most of the University's top administrators. The most notable of these were Provost Dennis Berkey and Treasurer Kenneth Condon, both of whom were also finalists for the presidency. This spooked the Trustees, and to a large degree precipitated the no confidence vote.
A settlement was eventually reached between the University and Goldin, the details of which were never released but which sources have indicated included a $1.8 million payment to Goldin, in exchange for his abandoning any claims he may have had against BU. Dr. Aram Chobanian, Dean of Boston University School of Medicine, was named President Ad Interim until a new president could be found.
In a mostly symbolic but still very important gesture, the Board requested that Dr. Silber vacate his offices in the university's administrative suites at Sherborn Street. It was hoped this would eliminate any concern on the part of candidates that their authority would be undermined.
The Board also accepted the resignations of its Chairman and Vice Chairman, Christopher Barreca and Dexter Dodge. This, along with proposed checks on Trustee actions such as term limits and plans for an independent oversight body, has signaled an improvement in the management of BU.

POLL: Nagamura's first penalty in USOC final?
August 9, 2012
Seattle goalkeeper Michael Gspurning dives to save a shot in CCL game against Santos Laguna
Photo Credit:

It was the most controversial moment in what was already a controversial US Open Cup final between Sporting KC and the Seattle Sounders on Wednesday night.
On Sporting's third penalty in the shootout, referee Ricardo Salazar ajudged that Seattle goalkeeper Michael Gspurning had moved off the line early to make the save on Sporting's Paulo Nagamura. The Brazilian midfielder was allowed to retake his penalty, and he converted the second attempt. (Watch the shootout.)
After the match, there was much discussion about the call, with Gspurning defending himself and Nagamura saying it was the right call.
Where do you fall?

The HMS Bounty, a 180-foot sailboat, sinks in the Atlantic Ocean during Hurricane Sandy approximately 90 miles southeast of Hatteras, North Carolina, on Oct. 29, 2012.
The U.S. Coast Guard on Thursday released its final report on the sinking of the tall ship Bounty off the coast of North Carolina during Hurricane Sandy two years ago.
The investigation placed much of the blame on the captain of the ship, Robin Walbridge — who remains missing and is presumed dead. Another member of the 16-person crew was also confirmed dead.
The report says that "a combination of faulty management and crew risk assessment procedures contributed to the sinking," according to a statement from the Coast Guard.
"Specifically, the choosing to navigate a vessel in insufficient material condition in close proximity to an approaching hurricane with an inexperienced crew was highlighted."
October 25, 2012, the Bounty, a replica of the original 18th-century British Admiralty vessel of the same name, launched from New London, Connecticut, headed for Florida. The ship tried to take an easterly course to avoid Hurricane Sandy, which had formed three days earlier.
But October 29th, the ship was hit by the massive storm and the crew had to be rescued 123-miles off the coast of Cape Hatteras.
The ship had originally been constructed for MGM's 1962 film "Mutiny on the Bounty" starring Marlon Brando and had also recently appeared in in the Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise.
The 93-page report released Thursday recommended that the Coast Guard itself review existing policy for "attraction vessels."
In a similar report released in February, the National Transportation Safety Board said the Bounty's captain made a "reckless decision to sail the vessel into the well-forecasted path of Hurricane Sandy."
The organization that owned the Bounty has since folded, their website is down and a listed phone number was inactive.

When I see more and more badge style logos I just get more frustrated \:
[links removed – forum rules]
that's strange, I don't get it why that logo has been rejected. It's quite easy to customise
Elad any reply from support yet ?
Yep, they said that the review team has made their final decision regarding this situation.
well the way I see it is.. take away the text from your logo design that you made, then what is left? Just a badge right? Where as the cupcake has graphics if you take away the badge and text. And the bake design has a chef/pastry hat and wooden spoons if badge is take away. In other words, what if a customer doesn't want to put their text in the badge? Maybe graphic river wants something from you that is more versatile, I suppose. But great badge logo tho
forgot to say: If you take the text out of your badge logo will the dough roller stand on its on as a significant logo.
Damn so it's come to that. .. I knew this would happen they would never take back the reviewers decision.
hueyangdesigns saidThen don't purchase this logo?
What if a customer doesn't want to put their text in the badge?
hawkmax said
Damn so it's come to that. .. I knew this would happen they would never take back the reviewers decision.
True and sad. There's nothing wrong with a reviewers mistake.
I think maybe they don't want any other badge style logos on the marketplace and all the others that you see are from the "old" review team. Still I think this is a wrong approach.

consumption of such vehicles is also a significant contributor. Scrappage is another strong contributor because it helps set the rate at which new technology penetrates the fleet. Because plug-in and HEVs are not expected to be a significant fraction of the fleet in this work, assumptions about their sales and the emissions from the grid are much less significant to future scenarios than VMT or well-to-wheels emissions from gasoline.

Ryan starts by jamming the smallest dildo into his puckered hole. He grimaces as he takes the thing all the way. But, he's not done yet. He grabs an 8 inch red one that's really thick. He works it into his hole, the discomfort showing on his face. After his third size up, Ryan can barely hold it in as he starts to spurt pre-cum onto his belly. Following that, a gush of rushing white, thick, creamy cum covers the sailor's smooth abs and drips onto the sheets. Zooming in to get a closer look, Quarter Master Ryan seems to be pretty satisfied as he leaves the dildo inside himself to stroke every bit of his juicy goodness from his stiff cock.

It may have the advantage of shortening and straightening the intake, but it won't function like a true velocity stack. Of course, on a forced induction engine you wouldn't notice the difference a true velocity stack creates anyways...

Student LifeWestern Australia is famed for its brilliant blue skies, warm sunny climate and white sandy beaches.
The State of Western Australia covers one-third of the Australian continent, spanning over 2.5 million square kilometres [1 million square miles] and several different climatic zones. It is a land blessed with some of the world's most precious natural phenomena including the dolphins of Monkey Mia, the 350-million-year-old Bungle Bungle range and the towering karri forests of the South West.
Sophisticated yet uncomplicated, the lifestyle for the residents of Perth is relaxed and focuses on the outdoors. Perth, the capital city of the State, is home to 1.5 million people and enjoys more hours of sunshine than any other capital city in Australia. Our South Street campus is located just 11 minutes by train from the city centre or 20 minutes by car. The city sits on the Swan River, where residents enjoy fishing, windsurfing, sailing or simply relaxing with friends for a barbecue in the sun. There are wineries, beaches and bushland within easy reach of the city, and a cosmopolitan mix of cafes, restaurants, pubs and thriving nightlife in the city centre.
Travelling around Perth by train and bus is very simple, and buses run regularly between Murdoch University, Perth and Fremantle. The Perth to Mandurah rail line means that trains run regularly from Perth to Murdoch, Rockingham and Mandurah. The Circle Route bus passes Murdoch University and goes through many areas of Perth and is widely used by Murdoch students. There are regular free shuttle buses between the Murdoch and Rockingham campuses.

Furthermore, beyond the fact that most experts said they do not believe a blood test will ever surpass the accuracy of the current neuropsychological test, many experts don't believe that ABeta42 is the protein we should be focusing on as a biomarker for the disease.
"ABeta42 is not specific to Alzheimer's disease and not highly correlated with cognition," Royall said.
In fact, most researchers are holding out hope for another diagnostic tool, altogether: amyloid imaging. An amyloid imaging agent would allow doctors to directly examine the clumps and tangles of this protein in the brain -- a protein that many believe is directly linked to Alzheimer's.
But, with so many exciting new tools for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease still in the pipeline, experts note that, as of yet, there are no diagnostic tools for the disease that are ready for clinical application.
"This is pure research," said Dr. John Messmer, associate professor of family and community medicine at the Penn State College of Medicine. "It is not a final application of a diagnostic test.
"It's just one more incremental step toward understanding the disease."

For many high school seniors, their final year speeds by in a blur of excitement, relief, and college applications. For a growing number, however, the new buzzword surrounding college admissions is "early decision." If you know where you want to be for your higher education degree, and you are absolutely, positively sure of your choice, then applying early could be for you. In exchange for a December acceptance, students begin the application process in the early fall, making a promise to attend if accepted.
Andrew Meng is a senior at Francis Lewis High School, in New York, where between 5 and 10 percent of the 750 seniors have applied through an early decision program. His choice for early decision: Cornell University, where over 30 percent of this year's freshman class applied early. Andy says, "If it doesn't help your chances for getting into that school then I think I might apply for regular decision, because I want to see my chances for getting into any other schools." Jeffrey Spielvogel, a college counselor of 23 years, says applying early can boost a student's chance of being accepted, making it a growing trend.
It's a trend the prestigious uptown Dalton School in New York City seems to be embracing as well. 50 to 60 percent of Dalton seniors apply early, and about two thirds get accepted. Dell Wright is certain he wants to be a freshman at Amherst College next fall, so he has applied early decision. "If I got in using regular admissions, I would have rescinded my other applications anyway. So I figured since that was the purpose of doing early decision, I only had things to gain from doing it."
Students are not the only ones who have something to gain from this process. According to Lloyd Hall, an Admissions Officer at Cornell, it is beneficial for both ends when a favorable student applies early. "It keeps you from then later on playing the game of how many students do I have to admit to fill this slot."
While early acceptance is the right path for some, there is a clincher, one that adds a segregating element, and leaves many skeptical. When a student applies early, they must understand that if accepted, they will attend that school, regardless of the financial aid package the school can offer. With tuition and other educational costs inflated these days, the amount of aid a school grants can be the deciding factor. For Giselle Torres, a senior at Francis Lewis High School, the financial compromise carries too much weight for her to apply early. "I don't want to put my parents into the situation that they have to pay this. I don't want to put myself in debt, and that's why I don't want to do this." According to Joseph Allen, Admissions Director at the University of Southern California, early decision can be demographically isolating. "The kind of process that college admissions is already favors the wealthy, the white, and the male. Who benefits? They are white, they are male, and they are wealthy. Do we really need one more device that puts the weight on their side?" Lloyd Hall agrees that there are demographic differences between the early decision group and regular admissions, citing, "students of color, especially compared to the regular decision pool, do not tend to apply via early decision as often as the majority students." What's the solution? Spielvogel recommends that students who are inflexible about their financial aid needs should reconsider the early decision option.

Check out this link, should help. All the people who are college bound, check this out especially. Remember to keep your head in the books and still keep it up on the court. It may be tough, but hang in there.
so if you have decent grades you can get into d1 relatively easy.

I just opened my package and was very confused. I did not know which was the inside or the out side!! The front and back seams are on the outside and curl! I wonder how many people are going to tell me I have my skirt inside out! The fabric is super soft. The waist band is sewn so the material will curl up also. This is not a great look and I am going to return it.
So I really like this skirt except that the hem has folded up to the outside after washing. Not sure I can do anything about it. Might just have to cut the hem off and let it curl up instead as the hem flipped up pretty much really bothers me. Otherwise, the skirt is comfortable and cute.
I wanted to review this because when I was looking to purchase it, I had a hard time finding reviews. I took the plunge and am glad I did because I love it. It is true to size I believe, if anything a little on the larger size. I am 128 lbs and wear a size 4-6 depending on the pants. I am athletic build and the small fits perfectly. It is not form fitting so if you were looking for that, you might order smaller than you were thinking. It falls very nicely and is quite figure flattering. I have worn it casually and dressed it up. Love this skirt!

GoPhone turns the iPhone into a hard-mounted GoPro viewfinder
By Ben Coxworth
March 7, 2014
Despite the incredible popularity of the GoPro Hero actioncam, it still lacks one very basic feature – a viewfinder. You can use your smartphone as a remote viewfinder via the camera's Wi-Fi signal, but for users who want to get hand-held shots, that involves holding onto two devices. That's where the GoPhone comes into the picture.
Created by Melbourne, Australia-based Andrew Dorn and Carson Tully, the GoPhone is simply a case for the iPhone 5 or 5s, with a mounting point that the GoPro's included quick-release clip snaps in and out of. The user just holds onto their phone with the Wi-Fi-linked camera hanging underneath, then monitors its shot, replays footage and manages its settings using the GoPro app.
As a side benefit, the phone/case doubles as a camera handle.
The angle of the GoPro relative to the case can be adjusted, although because the camera is mounted upside-down, users will have to enable its shot-flipping feature – or, they can just flip the footage in editing.
Dorn and Tully are currently raising production funds for their device, on Kickstarter. A pledge of AUD$40 (US$36) will get you one, when and if they're ready to go. You could instead just get GoPro's own LCD BacPac module, although the current model is priced at $80, and won't make it any easier for you to hold onto the camera.
The GoPhone can be seen in use in the pitch video below.
Source: Kickstarter
The gopro's wifi-smarphone picture lags about 3 seconds. So it's completly useless as a viewfinder. I've tried it. No way. Using wifi to configure is better then only camera buttons, but lcdback is the proper solution. And the Gopro wifi remote is also useless, specialy on sport events for example airsoft. And wifi drain the battery fast too. In this case the best is the one button mode. To use as a regular camera LCDback is necessary.Takeshi Kovacs

Right from the beginning, the Twardowski men have led the processions at the annual Skaro Pilgrimage. So this year David Twardowski again walked at the head of the procession prior to the Aug. 14 evening Mass and the ensuing candlelight procession with the Blessed Sacrament.
How did the Twardowski tradition start? David says he doesn't know.
SKARO — The Virgin Mary offers Christians of every age "a beautiful example of unwavering faith," Msgr. Jack Hamilton said in his homily at the 93rd annual Skaro Pilgrimage.
Mary had "a confident reliance on God no matter how outrageous God's plan might seem at first," Hamilton said. "In this she is truly blessed and so are we."
MADRID — A cloudless blue sky turned to inky night as hundreds of thousands of pilgrims participated in the opening Mass for World Youth Day, celebrated by Madrid Cardinal Antonio Rouco Varela.
Protected from the heat by white umbrellas and streams of soft mists, dozens of bishops and priests gathered on and around the makeshift altar to celebrate the Mass for pilgrims representing their homeland with flags, special hats, T-shirts and banners.
St. Francis de Sales recommends any person seeking to grow in the love of God receive Communion frequently. By "frequently," he means at least every second week, preferably every Sunday.
Frequent Communion, he says, will benefit you spiritually. "By adoring and eating beauty, purity and goodness itself in this divine sacrament, you will become wholly beautiful, wholly good and wholly pure."
Building things has summed up Walter Domshy's whole life.
The TV cabinet, keyboard stand and most of the furniture within his west Edmonton home were handcrafted by him. He's built merry-go-rounds, sandboxes and seesaws that are still in use at school playgrounds. He also made many useable items, such as the votive candle stand, found at Annunciation Church.
EDMONTON — A new online-based program and the reintroduction of an old program at Newman Theological College will prepare students for lay ministry.
The bachelor of theology program was intended to give students a basic understanding of theology and religious sciences and provide a foundation for pastoral leadership.
CALGARY — Alberta's Knights of Columbus have raised about $237,000 for St. Mary's University College in Calgary.
"It took us a little over three years to raise the money. We had help from knights all over southern Alberta," said Leo Bunz who chaired Knights of Columbus fundraising committee. "We concentrated very heavily on the councils in southern Alberta for their donations."
INUVIK, N.W.T. — Pictures tell stories. Stories tell us who we are. For 15-year-old Mary Masazumi the story falls into the category of mystery.
Her father Alfred is dead and there are no family photo albums at home in Fort Good Hope that stretch back into her father's childhood. Mary hoped to fill that gap pouring through binders of photos from the archives of the Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith.
ST. ALBERT — The residential school system was a systemic sin that cannot be understood as separate from a broader colonial reality, says Gerry Kelly, a consultant on the residential school settlement.
Stressing that Canada's residential school system was entrenched in Canada's social policy, Kelly said, "We have to realize that we are dealing with a structural harm."

Corpus Christi court case centered on whooping cranes, water underway
Lawsuit claims Texas Commission on Environmental Quality violated Endangered Species Act
CORPUS CHRISTI - A federal trial that could have profound effects on Texas' management of surface water used for drinking, agriculture and industry started Monday morning in Corpus Christi, and one rare bird — the endangered whooping crane — was the center of attention.
The outcome of the case could change the way Texas balances the rights of water users with the health of the environment, or it could affirm the water permitting process already in place under state law.
"It's a very interesting case to me," U.S. District Judge Janis Graham Jack told more than a dozen lawyers in her courtroom. "My husband and I are birders, so we also like the whooping cranes and appreciate what they do for the area."
The Aransas Project, a nonprofit group of local governments, advocacy groups and tourism-dependent businesses in the Coastal Bend, filed a federal lawsuit last year claiming the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality violated the Endangered Species Act by not providing adequate freshwater flow from the rivers into San Antonio Bay.
The organization claims the commission's mismanagement altered the salt content of the bay, wreaking havoc with crabs, wolfberries and other food sources, and killing 23 members of the only naturally occurring wild flock of whooping cranes. The birds spend each winter at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge.
To protect the birds, the Aransas Project wants the state to create a new plan for managing withdrawals from the Guadalupe and San Antonio river systems. The river water is used by cities including San Antonio, and by farmers, industries and other private property owners. Water rights holders pay for the lawful removal of river water.
Aransas Project attorney Jim Blackburn said the Guadalupe River has been over-allocated to the point that if all the water held by rights holders was to be removed, the river would run dry. Blackburn said the Texas Legislature has refused to address this issue, despite burgeoning water demands, a growing population and the threat of prolonged drought.
The state argues that there's no way to prove the commission's actions or inaction killed any of the birds in the winter of 2008-09, and says overall increases in the flock's population suggest water management hasn't harmed the animals.
The state's lawyers say a new water management plan geared toward the whooping cranes would interfere with the ongoing process, mandated by the state Legislature, to determine how much water is needed to maintain health of Texas rivers, bays and estuaries. That process involves a complex network of committees with input from scientists and stakeholders.
But before the court can consider any relief to help the whooping cranes, the plaintiffs have to prove the commission is at fault in whooping crane deaths over the winter of 2008-09.
The case is in federal court because it involves the federal Endangered Species Act. Establishing a violation of the act requires proof that an endangered animal was killed and that the defendant caused the death.
An exchange between Jack and the attorneys, though meant to be tongue-in-cheek, nonetheless illustrated the difficulty in showing that 23 cranes — 19 of which are missing without leaving behind remains — were killed because of the state's water management practices.
"I just want to make sure they (the missing cranes) didn't go to New Mexico — or to Antigua for the holidays," Jack quipped.
If the Aransas Project and its list of experts do prove state policies killed whooping cranes, that leaves the vexing question of what to do with surface water.
Jack, who will rule on the case, expressed distaste for getting involved with Texas' right to manage surface water. And if some new plan for allocating water does come out of the litigation, the way forward won't be clear or simple.
"In a drought," Jack wondered, "do you take from the farmers to give to the whooping cranes?"
The trial is expected to last more than a week, with at least 21 expert witnesses.

The non-military nature of today's news: Big change from how we've lived for years
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military for the Washington Post from 2000 through 2008. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Ukraine. Thailand. Venezuela.
None of those civil disturbances are situations that might remotely engage the U.S. military, even if Putin gets all fraternal with his assistance to Ukraine. And Syria, while a war, isn't something I think the U.S. military needs to worry much about getting involved in. Even Somalia, Yemen, North Korea, and Pakistan, the four horsemen of dependable messes, seem to be going through relatively quiet periods. Egypt, I dunno, but it also seems to be taking a timeout.
So, for the first time in about 13 years, I wake up each morning without expecting the overnight news to provide me something new to think about in terms of U.S. military action. This feels a bit weird to me — but also good.
On the other hand, no one is paying much attention to Cuba, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a massive humanitarian problem there after the Castro regime falls, one that might well require South American troops helping distribute American-provided aid.
Meantime, enjoy the extra 15 minutes of sleep.

SHEEI 1 BF 2 [220622 far MECHANISM FOR CONTROL PULSATILE FLUID FLOW BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Equipment for providing a pulsatile flow of fluid through a conduit is currently used in experimental and clinical work relating to organ perfusion and the like. it has been found that the life span of surgically removed living organs, such as livers, hearts, or kidneys, can be prolonged by perfusing the organs with an oxygenated solution. In particular, it has been found that the viability of such separated organs is prolonged by perfusing them with oxygenated solution in a pulsatile flow pattern simulating the beating of the heart.
While several systems for providing a pulsatile flow of oxygenated fluid to living organs have been constructed, deficiencies have been noted in that the prior art devices are unable to provide a wide variation of pulsatile flow patterns, so that the user can select the precise amplitude and shape of the pulsatile flow pressure waves desired. Also, the pumps which provide pulsatile flow do not operate with an optimum volume of flow.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention of this application provides a simple means for controlling the pattern of pulsatile flow of fluid through a conduit, permitting the alteration of both the amplitude and shape of the pulse or pressure wave as measured against time. Furthermore, this application provides a means for providing increased volumes of fluid through a narrow conduit to the pulsatile flow pump for greater pumping efficiencies.
In accordance with this invention, an apparatus for imparting flow to fluid in a conduit is provided, having pump means for providing a pulsatile pressure to cause flow of fluid in said conduit. The apparatus contains aorta means comprising an elastic tubular section defining a portion of the conduit. The tubular section is located downstream of the pulsatile flow providing means, and is surrounded by a sealed sleeve to define a pressurizablc space about the section. The space within the sleeve is pressurizable as desired to alter the compliance of the tubular section by controllable pressure to any degree and in any pattern desired. Hence, the pulsatile flow pattern of fluid passing through the sleeve having pulsations provided by the pulsatile pump means is modulated in a manner responsive to the pressure within the space about the sleeve. For example. a constant pressure can be used, or an in phase oscillatory pressure to augment the amplitude and alter the shape of the pulsations, or an out-of-phase oscillatory pressure to reduce, modify, or even eliminate, the pulsations. As a result of this, the ultimate flow pattern is controllable by the selective controlling of the pressure within the space about the tubular section as described further below.
The tubular sections used herein can be of any cross section defining a closed figure, e.g., round, oval, or the like.
Furthermore, a portion of the fluid flow conduit located directly upstream of and communicating with the inlet of the pulsatile pump means can define an atrium space of enlarged transverse dimension to provide a greater pulsatile flow efficiency, in accordance with the teachings of Anderson, et al., American Heart Journal, Jan, I967, pages 92-105.
In accordance with this invention, the portion ofthe conduit defining the atrium space is surrounded by a second sealed sleeve to define a second pressurizable space about the portion of conduit. The second space is pressurized with oscillatory pressure which causes the atrium space to collapse during the filling phase of the pulsatile pumping means and to expand during the pumping phase of the pulsatile pumping means. Thus, abundant fluid is provided to the pulsatile pumping means, resulting in greater pumping efficiency.
Referring to the drawings:
FIG. I is a schematic view of an organ preservation system in accordance with this invention.
FIG. 2 is a view, taken in vertical section, of the pulsatile pumping means and related portions used in this invention.
FIG. 3 is a partial vertical sectional view of another embodi ment ofthe atrium space and the pulsatile pumping means.
Referring to the drawings, an organ perfusion system is shown in which perfusate fluid, for example blood or plasma, is pumped through a typically transparent organ preservation chamber 10 to permit viewing of the organ. The fluid is driven by a pulsatile pump [2 through conduit 14 into chamber 10, through a cannulated organ contained therein, and then out conduit 16. Access port 17 is provided in organ chamber [0 for use as needed. Port 17 can be connected to the organ to conduct organ secretions out of the chamber [0 to an accumulating container (not shown if desired. The perfusate flow path of the organ preservation system is disposed in a hyperbaric chamber, if desired, for hyperbaric perfusion. The device can include a compact container for easy transportability.
The liquid perfusate is conducted uniformly from the organ in chamber [0 through conduit [6 to a conventional heat exchanger 18, in which the temperature of the pcrfusate is brought to a desired temperature, generally between 4 and about 37 C. to control the temperature within the system. A separate circuit for heat exchanger fluid 20 passes into close heat exchanging relation with the perfusate passing into the heat exchanger from conduit l6, but the two fluids are separated by a thin metal heat transfer partition. Heat exchange fluid such as saline is circulated in conduits 22 between heat exchanger 18 and a conventional temperature control source and pump 24.
Perfusate at a desired temperature passes from heat exchanger 18 via conduit 26 to a conventional oxygenator 28 (such as described in Belgian Pat. No. 726,886) for transferring oxygen to and expelling carbon dioxide from the perfusate. Oxygenator 28 also contains an oxygen flow path com prising line 30 and exhaust line 32. From the oxygenator the perfusate is passed through conduit 34 and sealed connection 36 into an enlarged portion of the conduit which defines atri um space 38, typically made of flexible, limp, thin-walled rubber tubing. Atrium space 38 provides a flexible storage chamber for perfusate to accumulate between filling phases of the pulsatile pump 12, and is surrounded by tubular guard 37.
The amount of perfusate flowing in the system is regulated by adding perfusate as needed from reservoir 4!, controlled by valve 43, to compensate for liquid lost as secretions through port 17 and the like.
As shown in H0. 2, pulsatile pump 12 comprises a cylinder 42 containing an elastic tube 44 positioned axially within cylinder 42. The space 45 between tube 44 and cylinder 42 is sealed by annular seals 47, 49 to define a sealed annular chamber. lnlet means 46 and outlet means 48 from the pump each include a one-way leaf-type flap valve 50, each of which opens to permit flow into tube 44 through inlet 46 and out outlet 48 while preventing backflow of fluid.
Cylinder 42 defines an entrance port 52 to receive fluid from an oscillatory pressure providing system, which includes tube 54 containing a head of hydraulic fluid 56 and which is connected through line 58 to a conventional oscillatory pressure generating control source 60 (FIG. I), operated by gas supply 61, typically oxygen. Control source 60 is shown to provide oscillatory oxygen pressure to line 58, and also to provide an oxygen flow to oxygenator 28, typically using oxygen passing through a flowmeter in control source 60. The oscillatory pressure causes fluid to pass back and forth through port 52 to a space 45 within cylinder 42 and outside of tube 44 to actuate pump 12 by alternately collapsing tube 44 and permitting it to expand again in accordance with the pressure and relaxation cycles of the oscillatory pressure. As tube 44 collapses, fluid is forced out of outlet means 48 in each pumping phase, and as tube 44 expands, fluid passes in through inlet means 46 in each filling phase. Typically, pump 12 is positioned at a vertically lower position than organ chamber [0 to provide a hydrostatic pressure head of fluid to assist in filling of tube 44 during the filling phase. Oxygenator 28 is also positioned vertically lower than chamber [0 for pressurization there.
A suitable pneumatic control source 60 for providing oscillatory pressure to line 58 and entrance port 52 is disclosed in the article by Demers et al., entitled A Perfusion Circuit for Organ Preservation in Portable Chambers." J. Surgical Research, vol. 9, No. 2, pp. 95-99 (1969). This article also refers to a suitable combined heat exchangeroxygenator which can be used in substitution for the separate members [8 and 28 in this invention. This or other pneumatic systems can be adjusted to provide the desired period between pulses.
In accordance with this invention, an elastic tubular section 62 defines a portion of the conduit for pulsatile flow of fluid, and is located downstream of pulsatile pump 12. Tubular sec' tion 62 is surrounded by a sealed sleeve 64, integral with cylinder 42, to define a pressurizable space 66 between sleeve 64 and tubular section 62. Line 68 leads between space 66 and a pressure control 70 (FIG. I] which connects to pressurized oxygen source 6| via line 72.
Pressure control 70 can be a simple constant pressure regulator, or, if desired, can be a source of variable pressure, coor' dinated, if desired, with the oscillatory pressure provided by source 60. As fluid is forced out of pump 12 in a pulse of pressure, the amplitude and shape of the pressure wave can be varied by varying the resilience or compliance of tubular sec tion 62. This resilience, or compliance, is controlled as desired by controlling the pressure provided through line 68, thus varying the capacity of tubular section 62 to receive perfusate. If high pressure is provided, the compliance characteristics of tube 62, when exposed to the pressure wave passing out of pump [2, are quite different from the compliance charac teristics of tube 62 when there is a low pressure or a reduced pressure within conduit 68 and space 66. A constant pressure can be provided within space 66, as well as an oscillatory pres sure of any type desired, either in phase or out of phase with the oscillatory pressure used to drive pump I2. Thus great flexibility is available in the control of the shape of the pressure pulse of the oscillatory fluid flow passing through conduit 14 to organ chamber I0.
Referring to FIG. 3, there is shown a modification of a device which is otherwise similar to the device of FIGS. I and 2 except as stated. The portion of conduit defining atrium space 38 and disposed within guard or sleeve 37 is sealed by cap 70 to define another pressurizable space 72. The conduit defining atrium chamber 38 is typically glued to cap 70 at 74 to make the space fluidtight. Line 76 leads between space 72 and a source of oscillatory pressure such as source 60. The pressure oscillations in spaces 45 and 72 are arranged to be out of phase with each other, generally with the pulses in space 72 shortly preceding the pulses in space 45. Hence, as elastic tube 44 of pump I2 is in the filling phase of its pumping cycle for receiving fluid through inlet 46, line 76 is providing a pulse of pressure to space 72 to collapse the conduit defining atrium space 38 to force fluid into pump I2. No check valve is needed to prevent excessive backflow of fluid from atrium space 38. The majority of fluid in atrium space 38 passes into pump I2 without such a valve because inlet 46 is wider than conduit 34 and because the pressure in conduit 34 caused by the elevated organ chamber is greater than the pressure within tube 44 during the filling cycle, because ofthe inherent resiliency of the tube and its tendency to spring back to its uncollapsed position, For greater efficiency, a check valve can be provided, ifdesired.
Out of phase oscillatory pressure is provided to space 45 through line 78 and port 79 by a conventional time delay device connected to line 76 to operate a pilot valve in line 78 which opens the line in one position and closes, but permits backward venting, in another position, to provide oscillatory pressure in tube 80 and space 45. Line 78 is then connected to a pressure source such as oxygen supply 61, to provide a constant pressure to line 78 upstream ofthe pilot valve A typical time delay device can constitute a conduit c0n nectcd to line 76, running through a chamber of predetermined volume, and then past an adjustable needle valve to a pressure responsive switching control of the pilot valve. The
size of the chamber and the needle valve are adjusted to give I the desired time delay A suitable pilot valve is available from the Fluidonics Division of Imperial Eastman Corporation of Chicago, Illinois under the part number 3001 35.
During the pumping phase of pump I2 in FIG. 3, flap valve 50 of inlet 46 is closed, and the oscillatory pressure in space 72 and line 76 is at a reduced level to permit the conduit which defines atrium chamber 38 to fill once again with perfusate.
The pressure pattern in space 72 can be arranged so that the duration of each pressure pulse with collapses the portion of conduit defining atrium space 38 lasts for only a portion of the filling phase oftube 44.
In a specific embodiment, the oscillatory pressure in line 76 has a maximum pressure of about 20 mm. Hg, while the oscillatory pressure provided to lines 58 or 78 and from thence to pump [2 has a maximum pressure of about IOU mm. Hg. The frequency of oscillation for both oscillatory pressures is, for example, 60 cycles per minute. The pressure provided in line 68 can be constant at 20 mm, Hg. A constant pressure of this level in line 68 assures that a minimum bias diastolic pressure is constantly present in the system between pulsations of flow, and particularly that such minimum bias pressure is imposed upon the organ within chamber I0 through line l4. It is believed that this prolongs organ viability.
The parts which contact the perfusate are typically made of silicone rubber to be atraumatic to blood.
The apparatus of this invention can use any fluid in conduit 68 and the space between tubular section 62 and sleeve 64, and in the other pressurizable areas, depending upon the com pliance characteristics desired. Liquids of varying viscosity such as oil, silicone fluid, or water, provide differing compliance characteristics, which in turn differ from the compliance characteristics of gases. An incompressible liquid such as saline can be used, while closing off conduit 68, to provide very little compliance to tubular section 62, in which there is very little damping or modulation of the pressure pulses passing therethrough.
The above specific disclosure is for illustrative purposes only and is not for purposes of limiting the scope of the invention of this application. Broadly, the invention of this applica tion can be utilized in many different devices, including organ perfusion apparatus comprising (a) container means for receiving an organ; (b) means for delivering perfusate to the organ within the container, (c) means for developing pulsatile pressure in the perfusate delivered to the organ; (0') means for imposing a minimum pressure bias on perfusate circulated through the organ between pressure pulses; (e) means for oxygenating perfusate conducted from the organ; and (1') control means for determining the pump output, the control means comprising means for setting the period of each high pressure pulse.
Manual control means can be provided to vary the temperatu re and pressure of perfusate provided to the organ, as well as for regulating the pulse rate and systole period of each pulse developed by the pump means.

A great cleansing cream which has texture, substance & moisturize very well. The tub is so big and you don't need much to cover your face and then wipe off. It took out all my leftover traces of foundations & powder. It does leave a moisturizing film on my face & I have dry skin here in Canadian winter, so it works well. I can see this huge tub will last me a long time! Works out to be reasonable as I paid CDN $28.00 for such big tub and current MN is having a Winter promo so I got 20% off the price. They have new packaging now and it looks pretty chic! Vintage beauty is definitely coming back - yes, cold creams!!

I am uncertain as to why this product has not been reviewed before as it is a staple in the Merle Norman line for years. So, I will be the first. This is a wonderful product for dry to "going" dry skin. This product removes all makeup (even mascara, etc.). You just leave it on for a few seconds and then remove. It does leave a "film", but the film actually feels good on the skin as it is a moisturizing feel. I then follow with the Refining Lotion (toner) and then the Moisture Emulsion. I am liking all 3 of these products for my skin.
Let me explain my skin -- SENSITIVE!!! My skin reacts to just about everything. I am very fair with the redness in the cheek area. My skin has not reacted with these products and is not as red. I highly recommend.
If you follow my reviews I know that it seems as if I work and/or sell Merle Norman products. I do not. I have tried everything -- MAC, Prescriptives, Jane Iredale, Laura Mercier, Estee Lauder, Clinique, etc. and nothing compares to Merle Norman's products as they deliver in quality and performance.

Mr. Shah's speech, which was videotaped and leaked to the media, confirmed what most political observers already knew: Even as Mr. Modi avoids religious rhetoric in his speeches and seeks a mandate on promises of an economic resurgence, his party's foot soldiers are encouraged to mobilize along religious lines in the politically critical state of Uttar Pradesh, which sends 80 members to India's lower house of Parliament, more than any other state."[11] (my emphasis)

Early Qing porcelain decoration developed toward designs that equaled other luxury products for the imperial court. The painting of mythological birds in a landscape that decorates this Large Vase is rendered in both transparent and opaque enamels. Transparent enamels, mostly dark blues and greens, are used to color the rocks and the birds' feathers. Opaque enamel colors are employed to model the flowers in imitation of painting on paper or silk. The bright rose red of one large flower is produced by metallic gold in a clear enamel painted over an opaque white. This particular combination of colors and techniques helps to date the Vase to the decade of the 1720s, when decoration using opaque enamels was first mastered by the artisans of Jingdezhen.
