Chemistry majors at Carroll use cutting edge scientific instrumentation to explore the principles that govern how atoms and molecules interact. Students in the department expand their knowledge as they engage in challenging courses, perform supervised independent research in laboratories, learn to evaluate data, develop laboratory skills and hone critical thinking skills. Recent graduates have gone straight from the chemistry program into medical school, Ph.D. programs, pharmacy school, and started at research positions with the National Institutes of Health and Pacific Northwest National Laboratories.
Carroll chemistry majors have at their disposal a wide range of advanced scientific equipment, including a 400 MHz Bruker NMR (see our Chemical Instruments page for more details). We have redesigned our curriculum to include a year long senior level laboratory course (Integrated Laboratory) that incorporates current scientific research and independent projects. We want our students to think like scientists and be well prepared for their next endeavor, so we provide an environment that allows them to practice these skills. Our program teaches students to solve problems, critically evaluate data, communicate scientific data through written and oral presentations, develop careful laboratory skills and to become independent and creative thinkers.
Chemistry is the discipline that connects all of the natural sciences. In chemistry courses at Carroll, students integrate an atomic/molecular view of matter with principles from math and physics to learn the properties and structure of matter, how matter interacts with itself, and how it is transformed in chemical reactions. Since it is integral to science, emphasis on problem-solving and techniques is included at every course level.
Five students present at the 2013 Fall Social of the Montana Section of the American Chemical Society.

This class is for young adults and adults of all ages.
Don't forget the Friends of the Library Book Sale this Saturday, October 27, 2012, from 10 AM - 4 PM. There will be lots of treats for all ages and nothing costs more than $1.00.

This is the time of year when lots of people look forward to the temperature changing. How about implementing a change of your own, like joining a book club? In October, the Just Desserts Mystery Book Club meets on Wed., Oct. 17 at 2pm. They are reading The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie King.

You've got your airplane ticket, passport, and e-reader. You've got your suitcase, but no room for those travel books.

But that's not what I have in mind. This is not a proposal to take anything away, but rather to create a way to protect entitlements. Traditional work is just one kind of productivity. There are others. Some already exist on a relatively small scale considering the size of the elderly population: Mentoring the young, advising prospective young entrepreneurs, offering living space to struggling young people in return for services, harnessing the talents and skills of professionals for advocacy, advisory, counseling and training roles. All these activities contribute indirectly to productivity by helping others become productive. And surely there are other innovative strategies yet to be devised but within reach if we are committed to pursuing this path.
Professional organizations can follow the model of Volunteers in Medicine – retired physicians who set up clinics to provide services to the poor and others without medical insurance. Enhancing health enhances productivity. A volunteer corps of psychologists, social workers, and other retirees in healing professions can similarly boost productivity by contributing to the health of the working age population and the children who will later fill those ranks.
To create this model of productivity, we need a national initiative to implement these new strategies, with satellites reaching into every community – storefronts and offices staffed by skilled senior volunteers. Every town and neighborhood should have nearby locations where retirees can be evaluated and offered opportunities for service that draw on their skills and interests. These settings would be staffed by retired professionals who would match retirees with responsibilities, assist with the initial contacts, and then shepherd them along in a supportive seamless process. Retirees would thus be empowered to take on roles that directly or indirectly add to productivity.
Corporations and other business enterprises could be persuaded to provide the space, making the enterprise virtually cost free. Banks, supermarkets, department stores, pharmacies and malls are ideal locations because of their ease of access in every community. When the word gets out about the traffic of potential customers to these locations, businesses may not only compete to participate but may offer perks and payments to get in. Some banks already designate space for senior activities.
The Wachovia Bank in Hilton Head, South Carolina, provides a room for a lifelong learning program. Some retail outlets are also on board. The Boscov's department store in Pottsville PA offers its 200 capacity auditorium, when available, for community and public service activities free of charge. Elizabeth Eich, a public relations officer for Boscov's, reports that the program has been in place since the 1970's and that other Boscov's department stores (there are 39 stores in five states) also offer space for community activities. The Pottsville auditorium has been used to train census takers and to help seniors with tax preparation, under the auspices of AARP.
Another inspiring example can serve as a model for businesses of all kinds. Since 1992, the Crown America Corporation has provided, rent free, a 6000-square-foot storefront in their Frackville, PA, mall for a "Lifelong Learning Center" and other programs, including adult basic education and high school completion classes, a career resource room, a computer lab, and other workshops and seminars.
A nationwide network of similar cost-free facilities could provide training for older workers who need to refresh or augment their skills. This network could also help retired seniors – or those about to retire – by offering courses and guidance to help them create home-based or online businesses. Training could be provided at these facilities individually, in small groups, and with interactive technologies like Skype. Personnel from these facilities could also consult with local businesses and organizations to help them find ways to use volunteers to add new dimensions that these businesses could not afford. This innovative contribution to productivity should only fill gaps that would otherwise remain empty – not take away jobs from younger workers
The initiatives I'm describing would address the shortcomings of existing volunteer programs. Far too many of these require a would-be volunteer to navigate a confusing and frustrating overlapping labyrinth of information and misinformation. For example, Senior Corps has an impressive website that guides visitors to volunteer opportunities all over the United States. When I entered my zip code and selected "education and literacy" as my area of interest, an impressive list of 185 opportunities popped up. Scanning the list, I noticed that many of the contact people had formidable titles: "Director of," "Chairman of the Board," and so on. While impressive, titles can be intimidating. And how likely is it that these senior executives would offer hands-on help with volunteer positions? Other listings required submitting a request in writing—an off-putting barrier for many.
The first volunteer opportunity that I inquired about turned out to be in the Bronx, not in the Manhattan location that I was calling. On another call the person listed said she was not the one to speak to and gave me another name to e-mail for more information. A few of the numbers that I called were out of service. In other instances I was asked to submit detailed information, but they did have the volunteer opportunities that were listed. Surely many other leads would work smoothly.
In addition to my own experience, I've gotten discouraging feedback from students I have referred to agencies that advertised volunteer programs. Too often they were turned off when they ran into cold receptions or bureaucratic mazes. There's no doubt that for the hearty and persistent seeker, lists and contacts like the ones provided by Senior Corps, The National Service Corps, Civic Venture's Experience Corps, Volunteer Match and many others offer valuable leads and opportunities. But to assimilate the 77 million baby boomers into productive roles, we will need a more carefully crafted and inviting turnkey operation that is local and personal.
The vanguard of those baby boomers are about to enter the senior club. They represent a vast reservoir of talent, skills, and energy that must be harnessed in a way that allows for leisure and other choices but includes productivity-promoting service. National service for productivity – to the extent possible for each individual – should become a standard component of the third age of life.
Responsible third-age living
For this ambitious plan to gain traction we must embrace a new philosophy and ethic for the age of longevity. Dr. James Birren, one of the pioneers in the field of gerontology, proposed 15 commandments for responsible living in later life. Among these are calls for elders to give back, to seek growth and new learning, to maintain physical and mental health, and to "plant seeds that will bloom for others in springs that I will never see."
Birren observed that the Bible commands us to "Honor thy father and thy mother," but has no prescriptions about who the elderly should honor. That wasn't oversight, Birren explained. "There were simply too few elderly throughout most of history to warrant demands on them." But with the longevity revolution spawning a formidable older population, Birren's commandments take on a new urgency. They constitute a bold vision of third agers fully participating as active members of society – what I am calling "adding to productivity."
Education debacle – seniors to the rescue

'Children of War' by Hyderabad-based Anirudh Annam is a first of its kind war fiction thriller in India
Like all teenagers, Anirudh Annam had his share of fantasies. Riding fast bikes and becoming a rockstar were definitely not one of them. His dream was more idealistic with a touch of patriotism. He fantasised about Indians in place of all those characters that grace Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy books. And when Anirudh decided to write a book, he gave words to his dreams. His book Children of War, published by Frog Books is perhaps the first war fiction in this part of the world.
While there are dime a dozen writers eager to occupy readers' mind space every day, Anirudh's book stands out for its total dedication to the thriller genre. The book revolves round the protagonist Lt. Col. Aryan Ved and his teammates Sylvester, Neha and Sanjana belonging to Black Team One, a specially-trained combative force to counter terrorist activities against India. With a racy narrative and disciplined structure, for a debutant writer, Anirudh's work is gripping.
But it's the honest attempt — to depict Indians in an aggressive role in countering terrorism — that impresses you. A too good to be true role for Indian heroes though, even if it's fiction.
An avid reader since childhood, Anirudh carried a natural flair for writing through his school and college days. And a logical next step was to write a book.
"I started to write in 2007 and when Mumbai bomb blasts happened in 2008, the book took a concrete shape and direction. I wanted to show an aggressive side of Indian side that is capable of taking on such threats and attacks. Since I chose a military-based subject I had to do quite a bit of research on various arms and ammunition and other protocol matters," he says.
As he recalls the journey from conceptualising the book to pursuing the publishers, the lanky 24-year-old credits much of his progress to his mother who initially inculcated the habit of reading in him and the family support thereafter. "Nobody took me seriously initially when I started writing, at least not until I completed the entire draft. But then there was lot of excitement once I heard from the publishers," says Anirudh.
Revelling in the positive feedback from readers and the publishers, Anirudh is already planning a sequel to Children of War. "I would like to build Black Team One as a brand and take it forward," says an enthusiastic Anirudh.

What films did you shoot most recently?
Many of them. I've been experimenting some after getting some really beautiful negatives a few years ago on t-grained films. Also, using different films and developer combos. I had all but given up 35mm for 120, but I have an overseas trip coming up, specifically to photograph! So, I'll take my little Fuji 645, but I also got out the 35mm gear for portability and weight. I really wanted to settle on one film to further simplify things.
Anyway, long story short: the winner turned out to be Tri-X and D76. (with a little Delta 100 along, too)

Article Summary
If a locked door must be opened, explosives can be used, but normally it is better to use a key. The conventional treatments for cancer, surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, have a range of terrible side effects that resemble the use of explosives in search of health. Now a key has been found to treat various forms of leukemia and lymphoma with only very minor side effects. The drug ibrutinib has proven sufficiently safe and effective in early clinical tests by physicians at Ohio State University that it has been given breakthrough drug status by the FDA.

I have any problems with images in the WP 2 RC1.
First, I don't success to create a little space betwin image and text. I try the attribute hspace=X but that does not seems to function.
Second, When I insert an image in my post, a little box appears where I can write any options for it. It is an excellent idea. But I have seen in source code the attribute which use is <img align="left"...>. Why it is not like this < "IMAGE URL" class="alignleft"...> like it is writing in the CSS file ?
Third, my last question is why in the text area, when I write my message, I can't use bold button and italic button and any others like the underlin button... I am a Firefox 1.5 user.

Parents say Riverside Unified pressured them to sign away rights
Story byJoanna Lin
By the time Krista McGhee pulled her son from school in the Riverside Unified School District, she said the fourth-grader had taken to hiding under his desk, been bitten by his classmates and been bruised by a teacher's aide trying to restrain him. McGhee's son, who has Asperger's syndrome, had been in a special day class for emotionally disturbed children since second grade – a setting she said had devolved into "a nightmare."
Fearing for her son's safety, McGhee asked the district to hold an emergency meeting to discuss his individualized education program, a federally mandated document that guides the goals and services for each public school student who receives special education.
A program meeting requires the participation of a specific group of people, including special and general education teachers. Instead, two district officials presented McGhee and her son's father, Mark McGhee, with what the parents said was a "take it or leave it" settlement: Their son would be placed at the school they wanted, but they would waive several rights under state and federal law, including the right to request changes to his individualized program for the next 16 months and the right to file claims against the district during that time.
"I was just at my wit's end," Krista McGhee said. "I felt like a soldier with battle fatigue. … I felt backed into a corner." The McGhees signed the agreement within an hour.
The McGhees and another parent, Mojdeh Ghadiri-Asli, claim in lawsuits that Riverside Unified pressured and duped them into signing agreements that violate state and federal special education laws.
"They're sort of blindsided," said Heather McGunigle, the Inland Empire director at the Disability Rights Legal Center and an attorney for the families. "Even though they got something out of the contract, what they lost was something significantly greater, which was the right to participate, which they were not aware was going to happen."
The lawsuits – the McGhees' was filed in October, Ghadiri-Asli's last year – are pending in U.S. District Court in Riverside. Jack Clarke, an attorney for Riverside Unified, said the school district is "actively trying to resolve these matters through negotiation and discussion with the families through their legal counsel."
A practice for settling disputes
It is not illegal or even unusual for school districts and families to enter into settlements regarding special education placement and services. But the practice needs parameters to protect parents' procedural safeguards, McGunigle said.
McGunigle said she believes there are other parents at Riverside Unified with experiences similar to those of her clients. The district serves about 4,500 special education students.
"They (Riverside Unified) engage in this sort of method of administration, and they have a practice of doing this," she said.
The practice is one the district's director of special education, Tim Walker, has been criticized for in the past. In 2008, under a settlement with the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, Walker resigned as the district's deputy superintendent after coming under fire for using confidential settlements in special education disputes.

- Cut out the image and poke a hole in the center (but don't stamp the tails of the Blue Ribbon, just the circle).
- Layer stamped images together and poke a lollipop down through the hole. Take a piece Family Tree paper to cut the green polkadot leaves and attach them under the lollipop flower.
- If your lollipop is flat, you can adhere the flower underneath it and add the 3 inch x 3 inch Butterfly stamp. Top with Yellow Rhinestone Bow embellishment.
- Take wooden box and wrap with red ribbon. Fill the bottom with foam to hold the lollipops.
- Cut an egg shaped foam in half and adhere to bottom.
- Poke the dressed-up lollipops into the foam.

This is a 50's style animated commercial, but set in 1964 (the vintage dialogue track is from a real 1956 commercial). The animation transitions from classic to a more modern look and feel after things go awry in the studio during filming.
Almost everything in this animation was created in TBA PLE, specifically for this contest. The character's hands were kindly provided by Justin, as were the shrubs in the background. The trees and weeds are stock imports from Illustrator, and the insignia's for the Chevy were pulled off of photos of the real thing - mostly. Both scenes were designed and composited (tones, highlights, glows, etc.) in TBA PLE as well.
The whole animation was created on the same timeline; not the proper approach I realize now. Each shot was exported as a separate QuickTime movie (17 in all), then imported into and rendered with After Effects, where the text was added.
This is my first attempt at animation with professional grade animation software. Unfortunately, it's also my first time doing a project in any Toon Boom app. So, more energy went into learning and troubleshooting than animating. I'm hooked in any case!! ;-)

Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

Chartered Taxi
Upon recommendation of my cousin-in-law, we opted to charter a taxi going to Bacolod City. We used the services of Faith Taxi, which my cousin-in-law always uses when he has business trips. We could have taken the airport vans, but hubby wanted to make sure his bag for photography gear is not cramped with the bags of other travelers. The Faith Taxi...more
Van for Tours: NYALA
NYALA got vans and cars for rent. So if you go to Bacolod and want to go for an out of town trips, you can call up NYALA. Their van/car price varies, depending on the type of vehicle and if there's no driver or not.They also have shuttle vans going to and fro the Airport.more
Ferry to Iloilo
Bacolod is just a ferry away from Iloilo. Iloilo is in a neighboring island called Panay. So if you are in Bacolod, you might as well visit Iloilo City. It is a simple city, where most government offices for Western Visayas Region are located. Iloilo is also home to old churches, nice people and good food.Going there, there are plenty of fast...more
Bacolod is the Capital of the province, Negros Occidental. People from neighboring towns and cities would usually flock in Bacolod for business transactions, shopping, eating, even for schooling. Going to and fro places outside Bacolod, there are buses which leave on scheduled trips.The largest bus liner in the province is Ceres. Fare depends on...more
Ever-reliable Tricycle!
In areas which the jeepneys dont pass by, especially going to Subdivisions or Housing, there are always tricycles ( improvised motorcycle with a side-car) which can be relied on. A tricycle can accommodate 5 passengers but sometimes it can reach up to 10, which of course depends on the size of people it carries. Filipinos are usually small so it...more
Joyride around Bacolod!
When you are in Bacolod and you plan to go to places around the City, transportation is not a problem. Plenty of jeepneys that operate on specific routes usually pass by the downtown area where most shops are located.Some jeepneys operate 24 hours and there are others which are only until midnight. So it depends on where you are going.Standard fare...more
Public Utility Jeepney (PUJ)
Bacolod City's jeepneys looked longer than the ones you see in Manila. Minimum fare is P7 only. Before you set out to go around the city, ask the front desk or hotel security guard what route you should take. The route is painted on the sides of the jeepney.I gathered that there are four jeepney routes: Banago-Libertad, Mandalagan- Libertad,...more
Airport Shuttle
From the New Silay-Bacolod Airport, you can can take the air-conditioned vans going to Bacolod City. You will see them parked just after youi get out of the arrival area. We didn't use this shuttle service because we opted for a chartered taxi, but I gathered that fare is P150.more
Metered Taxi
Modern air-conditioned metered taxis can be hailed to go around the city. Flag down is P30. We didn't have a hard time getting a taxi from our hotel because many taxis park infront to wait for passengers. However, we had a difficult time hailing one when we came from the Masskara Festival. Some taxi drivers can be choosy; they son't want to use the...more
We were lucky to have been able to get the promo fare of Cebu Pacific. Cebupac announced the discounted rates last June 2010, and hubby had to stay online to get slots for the promo fare.

Ferry from Iloilo to Bacolod
Oh, the ferry, let me tell you about the ferry. One thing I have noticed over the years is the stunning amount of ferry accidents in the Philippines. I now know why. We got on the first ferry, which had vehicles onboard. To say it was overcrowded is an understatement. We were the last vehicle on and there wasn't an inch to spare. As we made our way...more
MECA-J Car Rental
I highly recommend MECA-J Car Rental for its superb service. Aside from the cheap rental rates of their vehicles, the owner Mr. Jessie Jimenez is also very gracious. He doesn't hesitate to entertain any complaints. When we requested for a replacement vehicle, he provided one readily without hesitation. When I go back to Bacolod City, I will seek...more
Cebu Pacific Air
Cebu Pacific Air has a direct Cebu-Bacolod flights landing in the New Bacolod Silay Airport. Better book early & avail of their cheap promos. A one-way all-in trip costs only around P500. It is just a short flight from Cebu City about less than an hour. More convenient than taking the 5 hours or more land trip from Cebu.more
Getting to San Carlos
To get to San Carlos on the opposite side of Negros there are 2 bus routes. One goes round the coast and the other goes straight through the middle. As well as talking about 2 hours less the middle route is far more scenic. Ask at the bus station.....oh and you leave from the north terminal.more
Shocking Taxi Fare
We had no idea that we had to pay 500 pesos for a 1 way trip to Bacolod-Silay City International Airport. We boarded a taxi from our bed and breakfast Inn near Lacson Street to the airport and thought that we would only pay the amount on the meter plus 10 pesos but when we arrived at the airport, the driver said that we have to pay 500 pesos...more

Google's Siri-like competitor, Google Now, is making the move to the full-screen. pointed out by CNET (originally found by Francois Beaufort, a new listing on the Chromium development site shows a new "skeleton for Google Now for Chrome" has been created. The project is clearly in the early stages but has the potential to be a huge feature of Chrome later on down the road.
By integrating Google Now features into Chrome, Google is bringing a big traffic and information source to both mobile and desktop platforms, which will of course result in more revenue.
How would you feel talking to your computer like you do to a cellphone? Awkward or just another extension?

Is a marine survey really worth it for an inexpensive boat?

Re: Is a marine survey really worth it for an inexpensive boat?
Thanks everyone.
No, I am not qualified to inspect a hull for moisture, rot, etc...
I am not financing the boat, and the marina I will moor at does not require insurance.
In addition, the boat I'll likely make an offer on comes with a 2012 5hp 4 stroke outboard with battery charging capability (MSRP $1700). So if the boat is a complete loss I'll still have that as well as an auto-tiller, power inverter and a number of other useful things.
This is not my first sailboat, but it is the first "real" keelboat I will have owned. If my sailing continues to progress as I hope, then this would be a stepping stone to the last boat I'll hopefully ever by - much more expensive and definitely will get a survey then.

Shang mentioned the idea of "the learning story," where the decisions of previous generations inform later decisions by subsequent generations. There has also been an increased supply of personal services that have reduced childcare expenses. Other research shows men may be taking more responsibility for child care.
Shang and Weinberg also could not determine whether women are opting for families instead of their careers or in addition to their careers.
"We know these women are opting for families," said Shang. "We don't know if they in turn are opting out of the labor market."
The researchers discovered an increase in multiple birth rates around 1990, suggesting fertility treatments may have played a role.
"The data does not include information about whether women used fertility treatment," Shang said. "But we use the trends in plural birth rates to impute the share of the increase in fertility among highly educated women that is attributed to fertility treatment."
Shang said the study shows that fertility would have increased even in the absence of fertility treatments.

Along Came Jones is a 1945 Western comedy film starring Gary Cooper, Loretta Young, William Demarest, and Dan Duryea, in which Cooper mercilessly spoofs his own slow-talking cowboy persona. The movie was adapted by Nunnally Johnson from the novel Useless Cowboy by Alan Le May, and directed by Stuart Heisler.
The film's ironic title probably inspired the popular 1959 Coasters song "Along Came Jones" written by Leiber and Stoller; songwriter Mike Stoller had studied orchestration under Arthur Lange, the composer of the film's score.
Much of the movie was shot at the widely filmed Iverson Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, Calif. This was the only feature film produced by Cooper during his long movie career, and he had roots at Iverson, having worked there in The Lives of a Bengal Lancer (1935) and other productions. Cooper had a Western town built at the movie ranch for Along Came Jones, which was then used in many other productions during the next 10-plus years and became a fixture in B-Westerns in particular.
Easygoing Melody Jones (Gary Cooper) and his friend George Fury (William Demarest) wander into a town. Jones is mistaken for a wanted bandit named Monte Jarrad (Dan Duryea), which causes him no end of trouble. Meanwhile, the real Jarrad is hiding out in the home of his girl, Cherry de Longpre (Loretta Young). At first, she tries to use the newcomer to distract the townsfolk, but as she gets to know Jones, her feelings start to change.

"Space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own," he said in a 1962 speech at Rice University in Houston. "Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war."
But even Kennedy was less of an enthusiast than he led the nation to believe. In a 1962 audio tape from the Oval Office, later discovered by the staff of the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, he brushed off suggestions from NASA's then-chief James Webb that the space program should be about more than beating the Soviet Union to the moon.
"This is important for political reasons, international political reasons, and this is, whether we like it or not, an intensive race," Kennedy is heard saying on the tape.
"Otherwise, we shouldn't be spending this kind of money, because I'm not that interested in space."
President Kennedy was "not that interested" in space? Every president since has found lukewarm support.
"I don't think it's changed particularly," said Roger Launius, a senior curator at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum and former chief historian at NASA. Polls have consistently shown about 60 percent of the American people support the space program -- though the number always drops into the 40s when people are asked about the cost.
"We like it," said Launius. "We just don't want to pay for it."
NASA has a frequent answer to its critics: that even at $20 billion a year, it consistently spends less than half of 1 percent of the federal budget; that space exploration has led to thousands of technological spinoffs and employed hundreds of thousands of Americans; and that even if the money were diverted to tackling social problems, it would not solve them.
Launius said the arguments fall flat with many people. When historians try to understand great missions of exploration, he said, "We're essentially reduced to four 'G' words: God, Gold, Glory, and Geopolitics." Nations send out explorers when they want power or material return. "Right now, we don't have that."
Polls show Americans have warmed over time to the memory of Apollo. Since 1979, the number of people saying the moon landings were worth the cost has risen from 41 percent to 65. Launius says there is not organized opposition to the space program, the way there is to other efforts; there just isn't ringing support. Millions of Americans still question Kennedy's decision.
So we come back to his famous 1962 speech at the Rice University football stadium.
"But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask, 'why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?'"
The crowd roared.
"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard," Kennedy said, "because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win."
ABC News polling director Gary Langer and The Associated Press contributed reporting for this story.

If you don't remember a game called The Typing of the Dead, you're not alone.
Released on the failed Sega Dreamcast system, this gory, hilariously titled arcade-style shooter was in many ways exactly like its popular counterpart, The House of the Dead. But instead of aiming a gun at the screen, players fired by typing non sequiturs—"Smeg Head," "Potato Man," etc.—on the keyboard. When entered quickly and accurately, the corresponding letters blasted bloodthirsty corpses with a kind of alphabet ammunition not seen since the bloody Sesame Street riot of '82.
Yes, Typing of the Dead was gimmicky and laughable, but it also turned out to be much more: a unique, surprisingly enjoyable game in a zombified industry plagued with brainless, carbon-copy titles. No wonder it still enjoys cult status as well as its share of critical praise.
What's more, the game is newly relevant, thanks to the release of The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return for the Wii. A paired reissue of two '90s-era arcade games, House of the Dead 2 & 3 amounts to little more than another lazy third-party release. It pales in comparison to Typing of the Dead, which is all you really need to know.
This isn't necessarily an indictment of the House of the Dead series; retro arcade shooter games were simply made to be adapted for the Wii, and nostalgic fans of the genre will love this inexpensive compilation, at least for a while. Time hasn't been kind to House of the Dead's graphics (which are still scary, just no longer in the intended way), but it's still the same mindless shooting-gallery entertainment you'd expect from the quarter-draining classic.
Still, playing House of the Dead 2 & 3 again, this time on a $300 next-gen system, leads to an inescapable conclusion: If the Wii had been readily available to everyone who wanted one back in 2006, it would have already gone the way of the Dreamcast because of its perpetual dry spell of worthy games. Two years later, you can still count Wii's must-buy offerings on one hand; playing ancient shooters between long-awaited Nintendo blockbusters like Super Smash Bros. Brawl (itself a retread of a 1999 game) just ain't cuttin' it anymore. Where we should be getting games that take advantage of the Wii's brilliant technology, we're instead force-fed bargain-bin clutter.
Perhaps there is hope on the horizon. September brings a promising new game called De Blob, starring a mischievous paint blob who's charged with restoring color to a black-and-white village—kinda like Pleasantville with anthropomorphic art supplies. But that same month also marks the debut of other Wii tripe, such as Build-a-Bear Workshop. Yep, a game based on the plush taxidermy chain of the same name.
So if you too have exhausted all other Wii options, maybe it's time to saddle up and relive the '90s with House of the Dead 2 & 3. Better yet, relive the '80s with more of Nintendo's Virtual Console retreads.
Or you could just drop $30 on an old Sega Dreamcast and a dusty copy of Typing of the Dead, and spare yourself the heartache.

We previously discussed how important a special negotiating committee of independent directors can be when defending against stockholder challenges to change-of-control transactions – particularly for going private transactions with controlling stockholders, which usually require boards to be able to prove the "entire fairness" of the transaction. This week, in an important decision that may reach the Delaware Supreme Court, In re MFW Shareholders Litigation, the Delaware Court of Chancery again affirmed the importance of special committees in those circumstances, and offered a road map to companies and controlling stockholders on how to structure going private transactions.
Nearly two decades ago, in Kahn v. Lynch, the Delaware Supreme Court held that where (1) a special committee of independent directors or (2) a majority of the non-controlling stockholders approves a merger with a controlling stockholder, it shifts the burden of proving the entire fairness of the transaction from the defendants to the stockholder challenging the transaction. Last year, in Americas Mining Corp. v. Theriault, the Delaware Supreme Court reiterated that the use of a properly functioning special committee of independent directors is an integral part of the best practices that are used to establish the entire fairness of a merger with a controlling stockholder.
But what if both a special committee of independent directors and a majority of the minority stockholders approve the merger? Does that afford the transaction even greater protection? According to the opinion in MFW, the answer is yes. As Chancellor Strine held, where the transaction has been negotiated by a properly functioning special committee of independent directors that is authorized to say "no" to the transaction and the controlling stockholder conditions the transaction on approval by an uncoerced, fully informed, majority-of-the-minority vote, the business judgment rule standard of judicial review applies. In other words, employing both procedural devices will insulate the transaction from substantive judicial review.
Whether a merger with a controlling stockholder will receive the protection of the business judgment rule if both procedural protections – special committee approval and majority-of-the-minority approval – are employed has never been squarely addressed by the Delaware Supreme Court, and it remains to be seen if Chancellor Strine's ruling will withstand appellate review. Regardless, MFW reinforces that the use of a special committee of independent directors, coupled with other procedural mechanisms such as majority-of-the-minority approval, can be powerful evidence of a fair transaction when defending your deal.

The panties, a tailored hipster and a tailored g-string, come in one size and will adjust to every woman's body for a custom made fit. The collection even crosses over to Maidenform's Lilyette® collection with a lace underwire making its debut this spring.
"Adjusts-To-Me(TM) is as innovative a collection as we've ever introduced and we're very excited to be bringing this collection to our customers," says Maidenform CEO Maurice Reznik.

So is "MILF" just a new term for a timeless stereotype? Mamapalooza organizer Alyson Palmer cites June Cleaver, Samantha from Bewitched, and MILF icon Mrs. Robinson to back up her idea that "there's always been a sexy-mom mystique." Palmer acknowledges that mothers may approach life differently from their childless peers. "There's a vulnerability and openness many mothers have that's vastly different from the tight, protective masks many women feel they need to wear in this city."
What have I learned from these MILFs (who, for the record, I adore and admire but don't personally want to fuck)? That being sexy, strong, and sassy doesn't stop once you have a baby. For many, it's less about one's status as a mom than what the role stands formaturity, nurturing, and wisdom, with a hint of cleavage. "Now that I'm older, I know so much more. A MILF is a powerful sexual being and should be a feminist symbol for both women and men," claims Perkins. As for Staudenmaier, "I don't think a MILF has anything to do with age. It has to do with your attitude and your style. I'm confident I'll still be a MILF when I'm 65."

I think to mix 2 finished scents effectively you have to have an exceptional nose. Otherwise its all peanut-butter and pickled herring sandwiches.
Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening Everyone!
I am writing this morning in sheer curiosity of everyone's general opinion of mixing frags. I have a girlfriend who mixes her Versace Bright Crystal with Bath & Body Works Butterfly something or another and then Degree Romance. It smells GREAT on her (of course) but just the idea of doing so makes me a little queezy If I did the same thing, I'd probably get a "ES" (excessive Sillage) warning from work.
Anyway, what do you think? TO mix or not to mix.... that is the question.
Share your experiences, opinions and combos (if applicable) for the curious!!!
I think to mix 2 finished scents effectively you have to have an exceptional nose. Otherwise its all peanut-butter and pickled herring sandwiches.
I have found a few combinations that worked, but not many. But hey, if it smells good, I say go for it. Try it at home first, get a second opinion, and apply less of each.
I voted the YUCK option, though I mix sometimes...
A couple of years back, I did a somewhat successfull mixing experiment, though. I had tested decants of some L´Artisans (not my house of choice), when I got this idea of actually creating my own L´Artisan.
So - I took a large unused vial, and filled it with a mixture of Ambre Extrème, Poivre Piquant, Piment Brulant and Vanilia. I didn´t measure, or anything, just a few ml:s of this and two drops of that, until I was satisfied. I remember that I used Vanilia as some kind of base, though.
I thought I had created something nice, he he... I left it alone for a few days, to blend, and I was rather thrilled with the result.
I wore it once, I think.
I have a mix-on-skin combo that is OK, too: NR for her with a tiny, tiny squirt of EL White Linen on top.
It´s sometimes fun to mix, and I wouldn´t call it blasphemy, but......
Everything passes. Everything changes. Just do what you think you should do.
--Bob Dylan
I happily layer.
Very few people think twice about throwing a scarf from one designer over a coat from another. Why should fragrance be any different. Like clothes, simple & linear fragrances are good basics, but combining complex pieces can sometimes work amazingly on the right person.
(I'm paraphrasing myself from an earlier post since my opinion hasn't changed, but some of this might seem familiar.) There are many fragrances that I won't monkey with, but sometimes I'm feeling adventurous and get an idea about emphasizing a beautiful note here or softening something shrill over there. I've had a lot of luck doing this, especially when layering different fragrances from the same house. One of my favorite ways, and my most successful, is to combine fragrances by using a perfumed body cream or lotion with a complimentary (hopefully) fragrance spray on top.
For instance, Estee Lauder's Youth Dew body cream plus EL's Pleasures Delight edp spray is wonderful! The YD tones down the sweetness of PD a bit and gives the composition some weight, but the beautiful ripe strawberry note of PD is still very present - bright juicy pink and delicious. So if you like the berry note but don't want it very sweet, this is a great solution.
Youth Dew body cream and EL's Spellbound edp combine to make a lusher, sexier, and just better (imo, of course) version of Spellbound, which I really like but find just a bit too potent and thickly sweet on its own.
Actually, YD body cream has a calming and softening effect on a lot of fragrances that may seem too sweet, or too sharp. I've also combined it with EL's Pure White Linen. I love PWL on its own during the spring and summer months, but the YD gives it a softness and warmth that I enjoy more in the winter. It just seems to make everything cozier. So layering can also be a good way to bring a scent you normally attribute to one season into another.
Another recent success I'd recommend is Aromatics Elixir cream (which is highly perfumed) with a light spritz of Perfumers Workshop Tea Rose on top - it essentially smells like the same gorgeous Elixir that I love, but the beautiful rose note is pronounced - stunning! Not everything works, though. I tried a rose body cream with AR spray, but it's just too concentrated for the much more subtle rose cream to have a chance of being detected. On the other hand, it certainly didn't hurt or alter the fragrance, so at least I didn't have to scrub....which is the worst possible outcome and it's not really so bad (just don't do it on your way out!) so you might as well have fun and experiment to your heart's content.
Wow Evangeline, SOOOO detailed! I love it. I will have to try a few of the combos you listed.
Me myself I don't see ANYTHING wrong with mixing however I think there is a point when it's TOO much and becomes a mess. Really there are only a few combos I do that I love:
Light layers of Versace Signature with Burberry- Burberry ( I find this to be super warm and enticing. makes me feel sexy and calm all day long)
Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom with Bvlgari - Bvlgari (Seems strange, but on me- it works)
I was just SO thrown off at how many DIFFERENT, individually STRONG smells my friend had worn. talk about BOLD!!!!!
One of my friend does that most of the times. She sprays 2 fragrances at the same time without having ANY kind of knowledges about them..and damn, she sprays a lot! I never did and I'm not thinking much of doing it..I don't have such a good nose yet. But that's only with perfumes. When it comes to body care products and a perfume of different brand, I don't really mind.

I have yet to find one fragrance that is absolutely amazing by itself, and like smart clothing, I layer
Care to share any of your fave combos??
I used to mix Creed's Royal English Leather and Millisime Imperial. I rarely wore either fragrance by itself.
Anyway, I tried, and there's no "one scent" out of mixing 2. Just a messy "dance" of 2 clearly distinct perfumes. A thing never to wear in public.
"Diego: Why did you do that? you could've died trying to rescue me.
Manfred: That's what you do in a herd: you look out for each other. " (Ice Age)
I don't like layering except for maybe a couple of fragrances.
My cousin, I SWEAR TO GOD, stands in front of the mirror, picks up a fragrance without even looking at it, sprays the shit out it, then continues this cycle for more than seven fragrances. Uuuuugggghhhh!!!!
My brother, also a layerer (a refined one I might add), has sufficent knowledge on perfumes that his layering techniques actually smell damn good. For example, he was layering Diptyque L'eau and Oud Wood and it smelt amazing. Another one was layering Mirror des Envies with Magot.
MY only layering holy grail is Straight to Heaven and Rose 31.
Occasionally, I'll layer perfumes on purpose. I mainly use amber, egyptian musk, vanilla, white musk or rose based scents to mix with the more complex ones to highlight certain aspects of a perfume's aroma.
Occasionally, I'll layer perfumes accidently (on a perfume shopping trip). It's happened to me twice now where I've had over six different scents sprayed on my skin while perfume shopping & the mix blends together to created the most wonderful sillage. I even got asked once "what's the name of the beautiful perfume you are wearing?"....then I had to explain that it wasn't one perfume she was smelling but a mix of many perfumes!
I don't really dare to mix perfumes much but sometimes when I think my previous perfume has faded enough, I put on something else.
Also, I have a relatively strong rose body lotion that I layer with other rose perfumes. I find it makes them a little soapy.
Yesterday, I actually layered Ava Luxe LTBL (oil) with Reminiscence Patchouli Elixir and this one was really great, a little like Angel.
I favor layering rather than mixing juices. To layer is also not to mix but to apply fragrance to different parts of the body in isolation so as to make the aroma mix take place in the air rather than physically togeather on the skin. The practice of layering has long taken place and with some experimentation can develop prefered personal recipes of success.
I don't layer. I like to appreciate each fragrance on its own. There's so much to explore short of combining!
I love to layer! I stick to the same families, keep one scent close to my heart and the other on my wrists so there's an added depth. One scent greets you and the other is like a secret you might sniff out if you come closer to me. But they have to compliment each other.
My current layering fav is L by Lolita Lempicka with Annick Goutal's Incens Flamboyant. Both are woody incenses, but the Goutal cuts the overwhelming sweetness of L and adds depth. They're very pretty together.
One time i mixed TOMMY BOY with CK ONE ! It became rubbish, and useless.
Best mix I've smelled is Serge Luten's Arabie with Stella McCartney's Stella. Arabie's pepper beautifully deepens Stella's rose.
I voted for yes...but actually I hardly ever layer(not talking about actually mixing different juices!). I think it's very hard to find a harmonious combination, in which neither gets "eaten up" by the other frag.
One thing I do layer is Ambre Narguile,as it's pretty cloying on me..I always put a spritz of Poivre Samarkande on top (yup, I have this 15ml Hermessence travel set)..works great this way.
Oh! Here's another good one: Shalimar+a couple of spritzes of Un Bois Vanille....heeeaven!
What Evangeline does is a good idea..I think that kind of "layering-mixing" works better..scented body cream+spritzing a different perfume.

Layering and mixing is part of the fun!
@ Hamid
I'm SO sorry I hardly even like either of those on their own!!!! :-(
I can not imagine. hahah
This has happened to me! Recently actually on a Nordstroms & Sephora trip..... and i know almost EVERYTHING I tried on in order, lol.
Versace Signature [ended up purchasing]
Versace Versense
Ange ou Demon Givenchy
Miss Dior Cherie
Coco Mademoiselle
and 1 other in a beautiful bottle that I would recognize but can not name.
oh my word the sillage i was giving that day was FAB! and for the life of me I can't understand how all this worked! lol
Welcome to Basenotes mzendre!
I like to layer - it works for me.
One I have tried lately with great success is Caron's Narcisse Noir layered with either Laura Mercier Neroli EDP or Neroli Absolute 3% in jojoba oil.
The Narcisse Noir with a layer on top of neroli absolute is divine. It really amps the orange blosson in NN.
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
There's a huge difference between mixing multiple fragrances together to create a new scent and traditional 'layering'. I don't do either although if I'm not showering before changing to a different scent for the evening there will be some overlap. I always make sure the scents are complimentary eg; Jicky/Shalimar or Havana Vanille/Felanilla. I once accidentally spayed over Attrape Couer with Bois d'Armenie, as the decants were in the same type of atomiser. Sounds wonderful doesn't it ? Nope, somehow it smelled far less than the sum of its' parts .
In my one and only mixing experiment I was once inspired to try and 'dirty up' my NR For Her with Musc Ravageur by 'wet layering'. You'd think it would make a muskier, more masculine scent but nooo. It was lilac !!! I have no clue why that would be the case, seeing as there is no lilac note in NR and no florals at all in NR.
Perhaps I am not daring enough, as I hear you all go on about mixing fragrances, but I can just imagine Germaine Cellier's or Jean-Claude Ellena's faces at the thought of mixing another perfume with one of their creations! i prefer my perfumes 'straight up'!
I love to layer and have several "go-to" scents for that purpose. I'll layer on top of Encre Noire, Tea Rose, and Gucci PH to enhance or add vetiver, rose, and incense respectively. Some favorite combos are EN and M7, TR and Egoiste, and GPH and Mitsouko. I tried to make Guerlain Mahora a bit more butch and layered it with a spritz of Guerlain Vetiver and it was gorgeous, but not necessarily more masculine, just tropical green. I even made a mutant super-oriental by layering Shalimar edc and Opium edt--not bad at all. A potent pairing that I really like is Caron's Troisieme Homme with Fracas. There have been some failed experiments, but a few pairings I actually enjoy as much if not more than the solitary perfumes.
I offer you perfume,

You perfume perfume.

When I mix (blend) I stay within a certain House.....My Sotd is a good example of how I mix scents.....Today I blended Vanilia with Patchouli Patch by L'Artisan.....Gary
Never actually layered or mixed any of my perfumes but why not ? Experimenting is fun and if the result will be a mess there is always the option to wash it off , isnt it ?
Kill all my demons and my angels might die, too (TW)
my fave layering/blending combo is still Egoiste and M7. The results is absolutely rich and divine.
Heritage and L'instant tames down the lavender in Heritage, and offers a brand new dimension in the basenotes, making a scent thats very close to teh scent of pastries.
I love to mix or emphasize a particular note. I tend to use rose scented bath and body products to emphasize the rose note in Paloma Picasso. I will spritz Bodycology Gardenia before spraying Elizabeth Taylor Gardenia EDP and even dabbing a little Terranova Gardenia behind my ears--a trilogy that works for me.
I have tried layering and I made a mess about 95% of the time. The only combination that I liked was Baghari & Jo Malone Orange Blossom. I continue to try Myrrhe Ardente or Vanilia with a variety of scents, but I have come up with nothing much.
Excellent question! I was wondering the same thing. Ultimately I could care less what other people think as long as *I* like it, but I was curious nonetheless.
I've been battling with an issue for the last few days because I bought a 4.2oz bottle of Guerlain - L'Instant pour Homme and I decided it's too sweet for my own tastes, but the females love it. I did like that it projected so well and was very elegant, so as a last ditch effort, I grabbed my Bulgari - pour Homme Soir (stays close to the skin & is dark, mysterious and almost reclusive) and sprayed it on top of the L'Instant within seconds of each other.
The result is a somewhat bolder & friendlier Soir as well as a L'Instant w/ a more masculine edge (not as feminine-sweet as it was by itself). It still smells a little mysterious and elegant, but both scents are very classy, and the L'Instant/Soir combo seems to be like an outgoing (albeit somewhat feminine) gentleman pulling an intelligent but reclusive silent-type fellow out of the alley and onto the street and then merging together. One thing I noticed is that it isn't so much a merging as much as it is one of them sacrificing themselves and transferring the power to the other.
I'm going to try this a few more times, switching which one I put on first to figure out whether or not it has staying power (which sacrifices itself for the other). I really love my Soir because it matches my character so well, but I was just commenting to my friend that the next scent I get needs to be a little more attention-grabbing in a not-so-offensive way.
I hope this works 'cause I hate to have to exchange the Guerlain and regret it later. If it does, I have my "projector scent" for the time being (although I'll need a bigger bottle of Soir). If it doesn't, the Guerlain has to go back & maybe I'll pick up a bottle of Black Jeans or Rive Gauche.

Only yesterday did I step into the lab of the mad scientist.
I sprayed on L'Heure Bleue EdP, and layered it with Bal à Versailles EdT. The result was a cheeky and sexy L'Heure Bleue. It's all in the civet!
My first foray into combining scent: I can confidently layer D'Orsay Tilleul over Cote Bastide Fleurs d'Oranger...divine.

Usain Bolt Might Be Greatest Sprinter Who Ever Lived
After winning the 200m gold today, Usain Bolt has won the 100 and 200 in two straight Olympics. No one else has ever done this.
1. Here's Usain Bolt's dominating performance in the 200m today.
Bolt's 19.32 was .12 faster than his countryman Yohan Blake and .52 faster than another Jamaican, Warren Weir. His time is also the same as Michael Johnson's legendary performance at the 1996 Atlanta Games, which stood as the world record for 12 years.
With this win, Bolt has also done the incredible: he's won the 100m and 200m, the two premiere short-distance sprinting races, two Olympics in a row. Only two other men have ever repeated as 100m champions, and no one has done it in the 200 — not even Michael Johnson.
