"Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to tell you without a doubt that applications are moving to the cloud—that's something I've been talking about for a decade," he continued. "You don't have to go out and create some whole new idea about 'software and hardware engineered to work together' because in the cloud they already DO work together! That's the whole point!" he shouted as the audience laughed.
"So I really don't understand that philosophy."
Benioff then invited Michael Dell out on stage and peppered their prepared dialogue with some barbed ad-lib comments and questions about giant computers and such, clearly presenting Dell with what was probably a very awkward moment because, after all, just two hours earlier, Dell had given a keynote talk as part of the formal Oracle Open World program and spoke glowingly about his company's ongoing work with Oracle.
Dell didn't take Benioff's bait other than to laugh a bit, but it still made for an interesting sideshow to the Ellison-Benioff main attraction.
And in Ellison's response a few hours later during his second keynote address, he brought Dell the company very much into his remarks in a way that I don't think was at all coincidental (nothing Larry Ellison does is coincidental, in my opinion).
Trying hard to stick to his planned discussion of the imminent rollout of Fusion apps, Ellison couldn't resist slapping back at Benioff, and he seemed to add Dell the company into his rebuff as well:
"So we also call the Exalogic Elastic Cloud our 'cloud in a box.' Now, I heard that at Marc Benioff's speech this morning, Salesforce.com said that Larry just doesn't get it, that clouds don't run in a box," Ellison said with a smile that didn't seem to contain much happiness.
"Well then, what does Marc think that Salesforce runs on, if not on a box? Salesforce runs on 1500 Dell servers, and those are boxes. He also thinks the Dell boxes aren't tall—he really got upset because the Exalogic box was taller than he is—I swear I can't make this stuff up," Ellison said with a laugh.
"Does he think 1500 servers are tiny? 1500 servers take up a massive amount of room and they're no doubt stacked way up high like they are everywhere else—unless they have a very very low ceiling," Ellison quipped to the audience's approval.
Ellison then suggested that if Benioff were truly out to build the best infrastructure for Salesforce.com customers, then he would toss out those Dell servers and go with Oracle's cloud in a box.
"You know, Exalogic is really kind of the ideal box to run Salesforce.com on because then Marc could go from 1500 servers down to, I don't know, maybe 400?" Ellison said. "I think both Salesforce.com and its customers would benefit from looking at Exalogic—it would be ideal for what they're doing. . . . I'm sure Marc will talk to his team and they'll tell him that you really DO need boxes—you just do."
Ellison then returned to his theme from Sunday night's keynote when he blasted the multitenancy architecture used by Salesforce.com and the security nightmare Ellison said such an approach engenders. And remember: Ellison and Benioff frequently say how much they like each other!
"Another thing that Salesforce has that they need to upgrade is 'multitenancy'—they say that's what it makes it officially cloud computing—but it's a horrible idea!" Ellison said. "Every customer has all of its data in the same database with every other customer, just all mixed in: GE and Siemens, all mixed in . . . . Everyone's customer list in the same database—it's just a horrible security model!
"The way you should handle that in the 21st century, Marc, is with 21st-century technology called vir-tual-i-za-tion," Ellison said dramatically before laughing. "Multitenancy is old technology—ancient—and if Salesforce.com upgraded to Exalogic, they could have a lot more than what they now—it would be higher performance and more secure and more reliable and less expensive, unlike what they have now."
So by Wednesday evening Michael Dell, who opened Wednesday morning with a mainstage keynote at Oracle Open World, was getting paddled along with Marc Benioff by Larry Ellison for failing to grasp what cloud computing is all about.
But shed no tears for Benioff, who, in spite of his openings jokes about how "we come in peace," will continue to be a powerful influence in the enterprise space into which he is aggressively pushing his company.
Because just seconds before he finished his own presentation, Benioff unballed a banner that was bunched-up in his hand and unfurled it, saying, "An Oracle salesperson gave me this flag—it says, 'I Surrender.' "
But then he tossed the flag into the audience and called out, "But we're not surrendering—we'll never surrender!"

Technology in Education and in your Homeschool (Part 1)
Technology can be integrated into the educational setting (your classroom, your homeschool) as seamlessly and easily as it has made its way into your daily life. Your computer, tablet, reader, iPhone, video machine and CD player all can supplement your teaching with the right tools. Many kids already play educational games at home or on the go. Streaming video brings science and history to life. Slip in a CD of your favorite audio book, language learning program and learn German, Spanish or French on the go! Have your students use one of the many free internet tools to create their own multimedia slideshow, video, poster or website.
Students can use technology to foster their learning in a multitude of ways: watching, listening, reading, playing, building and creating.
Video and Streaming Video
There are lots of places where you can find streaming videos.
- Best known of course is YouTube where students can watch everything from a frog dissection or the life cycle of a mosquito to video clips featuring Napoleon, the first moon landing or Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' Speech.
- Discovery Education Streaming (The link to the left shows you a list of the thousands of titles for the "Plus" version.) - We had a subscription to this one year. This has thousands of videos from most any field your can think of. It has lots of series like Liberty's Kids, the Magic School Bus and lots of history, science, math, preschool, foreign language videos, animated children's literature like Rabbit Ears and Animated Hero Classics and on and on. I find the price a bit prohibitive for us ($200/yr even with 50% off through Homeschool Buyer's Coop) since we don't use video quite often enough. But it is an absolutely amazing resource.
- Story of the World and Netflix Spreadsheet – volumes 1 through 4 (virtually all history from the Ancients through Nixon!). This is a very comprehensive spreadsheet of movies. She gives the SOTW volume and chapter each movie applies, lists the rating where available and lists whether they are documentaries or animated. She also shows whether the movie is available to watch instantly on Netflix.
- Story of the World Video Links–Someone is creating this wonderful resource of videos that go along with the Story of the World History series
- Ancient History Netflix Movies — Another list Alia has put together to supplement volume one of the Story of the World — Ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and everything before and after!
- Another long list of world history movies from 8,000 BCE to the 1900s, but not necessarily available on Netflix, etc.
- Khan Academy – Lots of math videos, plus Biology, Chemistry, Brain Teasers and more
- 60 Second Recap — recaps of great literature such as 1984, The Catcher in the Rye it introduces literature in an entertaining way
- Ted Talks Ideas worth spreading has some neat topics up for discussion. For example,
- Just How Small is an Atom or
- How Simple Ideas Leas to Scientific Discoveries or
- Hands on Science with Squishy Circuits (playdough that conducts electricity)
Audio: listening
- Don't forget how useful the CD can be for learning a foreign language on the go. For example, we're trying Pimsleur German CDs.
- Story of the World audio CDs have been a wonderful resource for us. We got the entire 4 volume set (50+ CDs) used at Homeschool Classified for a phenomenal price.
- Storynory has wonderful classic fairy tales, Greek myths and more that you can download free to listen on your iPod or to burn as a CD to listen to in the car
Interactive: educational apps
- Apps: Because young children have trouble manipulating the mouse and keyboard, there has been an explosion of apps for tablets. For example, my kids have been having a fabulous time with the Oregon Trail which we downloaded to our KindleFire.
- Top 50 free Education Apps
- iPhone Apps: My fellow Parent's blogger, Leticia over at Tech Savvy Mama has some recommendations for iPhone Apps: 4 iphone Apps to Reinforce Toddler Learners and 4 iphone Apps for Beginning Readers
- iPad Apps: Erica over at Confessions of a Homeschooler put together a couple of blog posts of iPad Apps she recommends for the preschool crowd: iPad Educational Apps for Preschoolers and Educational iPad Apps for young Learners
- iPad Apps: 40 Ipad Apps for Homeschoolers from July 2011
- A list of the Top 10 Educational Apps for iPad and iPhone - This list includes a variety of recommended apps such as foreign language, molecules, today in history, math formulas and more
- There are lots of wonderful interactive books. DK books such as Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life are available for iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
- Apps for Chrome (a web browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer): We've browsed through the apps on Chrome and found a neat one on human anatomy, among others.
- Online Games: Here are some of my recommendations for online Addition Games, Multiplication Games; you will find great interactive games all over the web for other subjects as well such as Spelling City. And I'm sure there's endless others out there as well. Feel free to list some of your favorites in the comments below. I always love hearing about new things!
That's it for this week. I'll be back with Part 2 of this Technology in Education series next Wednesday!Add a Comment

One HUGE recomendation for older kids especially is to utilize subscription databases, these are expensive but most school, college, and public libraries will have several options and be more than willing to share remote access passcodes with a homeschooler. They are great for the obvious research paper sources, to be sure, but these days they are SO much more than that. Many of them offer multimedia results for common searches that include, pictures, audio, video, graphics, etc. along with books, articles, newspapers and primary sources that have been scanned or digitized in other ways! USE your library! It offers so much more than books!

Thanks for many links to useful educational pages on the web. I really enjoy Khan's academy videos to help my kids in math and it works very well with fractions worksheets from the site http://www.fractionsworksheets.ca this way kids watch the videos and get some hands on practice on math problems. http://www.math-aids.com is the other one I use to print math worksheets.
Thanks for the great informational page, as I discovered other resources from this page.

Thanks Angel-lena! That's a great point. We haven't looked into that, but as the kids get older I'll keep that in mind. We love, love, love our library!

38 year old man | Alhambra, CA, USA | Seeking women 25-40 within 40 miles
looking for my last first date
I recently move to san diego (ocean beach) from los angeles and im excited about all the new opportunities that will arise from this move. I'm a hassle free guy that is easy going, stable and generally very happy. I'm open to try just about anything at least once. I'm handy with tools and I'm a DIY kinda guy (I know my limits and will pay for services that I can't handle). I enjoy cooking but more than that I love watching people enjoy my food. I believe everything happens for a reason – so I try to live a stress free life. I'm very open minded and believe in compromising. As I've gotten older I have realized that for me it is more satisfying to give rather than receive. I'm socially conscious and ideally I wish we could save the world. As reality creeps back I realize it's incredibly important to find the humor in life otherwise it will drive us mad. Things that may drive you mad concerning me: I sometime laugh too loud, I have a habit of biting my nails and I tend to procrastinate. I want to find someone to find someone that would enjoy going on hikes or perhaps bike rides around the bay, explore san diego's night life or simply hang out doing the more traditional dinner and show enjoying each other's company. I'm looking for someone that is goal oriented yet isn't fixated by them. I love to travel and simply get out of town anytime possible, I find that some of my favorite trips have been the last minute mini trips. I want to meet someone that is just as comfortable joking having a beer alongside friends and family at a BBQ as they would be having dinner with associates talking current events and "shop talk". There isn't a written list of things I would like to do before I kick the bucket. However as opportunities presented themselves I have done stuff like white water rafting, bungee jumping, back pack Europe and so forth to pad my resume of life. Thank you for looking at my profile and I hope you find who you are looking for.

I like Dogs
I enjoy bike riding and i ride at least twice a week. while riding i love to listen to my ipod which contains jack johnson, led zep. rock en espanol, cumbias, chili peppers and much more. i like attending L.A. art walk.
i like listening to talk radio (when im alone), in particular political talk no worries im not a political wonk. i have been known to stop on E! to watch talk soup. HBO on sundays and family guy.
I recently started training for my first mud run!!I enjoy going to sporting events such as galaxy soccer games, dodger games and tailgating at football games. On a lazy sunday i enjoy cooking breakfast and hanging out in pjs flipping channels.

Zoom the Clown - Face Painting, Balloon Twisting, Magic & Games!
Zoom the Clown
Zoom the Clown has been performing as a children's entertainer for 10 years, it's clear by her big smile and general bubbliness that she absolutely loves what she does!
Zoom is a real entertainer, always talking, joking and playing around with the kids as she face paints and makes balloons.
Her balloons are very fun to watch, who knows what she will make next? Zoom can make all kinds of super heroes, cartoon characters, large animals and fun hats! Her face painting is also amazing, kid's are mesmerized looking at themselves in the mirror once Zoom has turned them into their favourite animal, a pretty princess or even a scary zombie! Zoom only uses high quality paints and glitters, so her designs have that extra "pop!"
Zoom is also a magician, her magic shows are full of laughs, stories and ofcourse great tricks, she has a great way with the kids, adapting her show to suit all ages. Zoom can also keep even the most rowdy of kids under control with her fun, high energy games!
Zoom wears non traditional clown attire while still looking fun and friendly, she has bright purple plaits, a mini red hat, red glasses and a cute bow, Zoom appeals to kids and adults of all ages.
If a proffessional, fun and friendly entertainer is what you're looking for, then you find that Zoom the Clown is your perfect option giving you quality entertainment at a great value price!
Here is a recent review for Zoom the Clown:
"Thank you Zoom the Clown for making my son's 4th birthday party an event to remember!! The magic show had every child (and parent) enthralled (I've never seen so many 4 year olds sit still for so long!!) and the standard and speed of face painting was by far the best I've ever seen. Not to mention that each child got to go home with their very own balloon sculpture!! I would highly recommend Zoom to all my friends!!"

The Rolling Stones, Michael Feinstein and More Set for Paley Center's 2012 Holiday Season
We'll all have a few days off during the Holiday season, and the Paley Center in New York has some great activities for both locals looking for something to do in the city and the many tourists who will soon be visiting NYC. A great Rolling Stones exhibit with photos never seen in the US before, a mash-up of the many different versions of A Christmas Carol, and Michael Feinstein discussion about the Gershwin songbook. The Center is also releasing some of its most popular PaleyFest panels on DVD though Amazon - perfect gifts for the TV fan in your life.
Rolling Stones: 50
Friday, November 9, 2012
to Sunday, January 6, 2013
25 West 52 Street, NYC
Wednesdays to Sundays only.
Noon to 6:00 pm
(Thursdays until 8:00 pm)
FREE for Paley Center Members; you and a guest may see the gallery at any time -OR- you may reserve 2 tickets in advance.
Included with general admission at the door: The Paley Center for Media is thrilled to be part of the fiftieth milestone celebration of The Rolling Stones, who on July 12, 1962, went on stage for the first time at the Marquee Club in London's Oxford Street and changed music history.
This gallery exhibit-first seen at Somerset House, London, and never before exhibited in the U.S.-includes seventy rare prints including reportage, live concert and studio sessions, and outtakes, giving us an unmatched, front-row look at every period of the band's history.
To complement the photography exhibition, the Paley Center has curated a video compilation from its wide-ranging music collection, highlighting the Stones's most impressive appearances over five decades.
Television was essential in galvanizing the legions of the Rolling Stones fans. Because the group is much more than their dynamic music, it was the image of their iconoclastic sensibility and defiant attitude that rocked the first generation of fans and continues to speak to multigenerations since.
Christmas Carols: A Scrooge Mash-Up
December 2012
Arguably the most famous and familiar holiday story ever written, Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carolcontinues to enchant generation after generation and inspire countless adaptations, with more, no doubt, yet to come. Since everyone has their particular favorite dramatization, the Paley Center presents its own "Scrooge mash-up," so to speak. The entire story will be told using clips from versions starring Mr. Magoo, Patrick Stewart, and Basil Rathbone among others, as well as the tale as interpreted by the casts of such shows as The Flintstones and Bugs Bunny.
In the Bennack Theater at 25 West 52 Street, NYC
Thursdays at 6:00 pm; Saturdays & Sundays at 2:00 pm

Into the Classroom
In Chapter Seven we are to look over the twenty-seven key lessons included in this chapter. Please select one of the lessons that fit into your teaching this month, and try it our with your kids. On February 2nd, come prepared to report back to the study group, bringing stories, sample of kids' work, or classroom videos to share. If you need help with collecting information or getting started, please let me (or Pete) know. Looking forward to hearing about your experience.

Online reading material and virtual libraries clearly have a larger approach than libraries that need to be visited unlike the e-books that can be approached and used upon a single click. In this way it has been playing a great role in raising literacy levels of society.

Early 20th c. thru WWI seen thru the eyes of English, German & Russian aristocrates & working class members & Americans
This is the fifth novel by Follett I've read and it is certainly the worst of the ones I've read. .The events of World War One referred to are dumbed down as if author assumed the reader was learning of the events for the first time.. The characters are unbelievably stick-;like.. Even when interesting things are discussed I found the language boring and inane. There is no danger I will read volume II of the trilogy. .
An historical novel that follows five families through the years 1914-1923. Members of the families interconnect at various times during the that period. There are the Dewars from America whose son is an aid to president Wilson, the aristocratic Fitzherbert family in England, the Williams family of Welsh coal miners who dig the black fuel from under Fitzherbert's estate, the Peshkov family of poor factory workers from Russia, and lastly the aristocratic German the von Ulrich clan.
There is much coupling amongst the members of the various families including between aristocrats and employees but more importantly is the way Follett describes the historical background to the many momentous events of the period by having his fictional characters play our very important roles along side real historical men & women. An example of this is the influence Gus Dewar, a fictional character, has on Woodrow Wilson's decisions or Ethel Williams actions as a news writer on the move for giving the women the vote during the war.
This is a real refresher course on the early history for the 20th Century presented in a very interesting fashion. The waste of human life in the trenches and during the Russian Revolution is staggering.
EDIT : 28 DE Junio
GRACIAS KEN FOLLETT!! Gracias a vos aprobé mi examen de Cultura en el profesorado !!!!!!!!!!
Resultó que los hechos históricos relatados en la trilogía son exactos y me bastaba con acordarme las cosas que pasaban en el libro y que lograba cada personaje (desde los que peleaban en la guerra hasta las sufragistas que luchaban por el voto ) para que el estudio me resultara mas que fácil !!
Así que ahí estaba en el parcial , pensando en escenas de Fall of Giants más que el material de estudio y APROBÉ!
Tengo la cabeza llena de datos históricos que todavía no puedo chequear .
Aún así , disfruté muchísimo el libro y las cinco familias , con sus decenas de personajes e historias entrelazadas .
Follett no será un gran escritor pero si un genio del entretenimiento . Espero que los libros que siguen no decepcionen .
After being completely enchanted by Pillars of the Earth and World Without End, Fall of Giants failed to mesmerise me as much. Follet's proven mix of rather different characters with intertwining lives set in an important, well researched, historical background still worked for me. However, in his previous historical books he used four main characters, whereas Fall of Giants follows over 5 different characters and families. I found that a little too much perhaps. The main characters also follow similar steps in their lives: forbidden loves, unanswered passion and babies... lots of babies. At first it bothered me, but then I realised that the Century Trilogy needs this at this point, as the next book will cover the lives of these newborns as main characters (again a trick the author played in his first two books, albeit as less important a theme then). Moreover, the book sometimes doesn't read as a novel, but as a political and/or historical school book.
Concluding, I really liked the book (4 stars), and I finished the whopping 800 pages in less than 4 days. I'm definitely going to read the rest of the trilogy, but I hope the next book will be significantly different than this first one in the ways described above.
Trotz peinlicher Sexszenen auf Groschenromanniveau und wie Untertassen dahinfliegender Dialoge: Ken Folletts neuer Roman ist gut recherchiert und freundlich-sozialdemokratisch - einer Verfilmung im Öffentlich-Rechtlichen steht nichts im Weg.
Die Aufteilung von erfundenen Schicksalen und weltgeschichtlich verbürgten Ereignissen löst Follett perfekt.
Overall, Follett is masterly in conveying so much drama and historical information so vividly. He puts to good use the professional skills he has honed over the years — giving his characters a conversational style neither pseudo-quaint nor jarringly contemporary. That works well. And for all his belief in the redemptive quality of liberal humanism, he makes sure not to endow his characters with excessively modern sensibilities. As for the occasional cliché — well, unless you're Tolstoy, you're not going to have the time or the ability to be original throughout your 1,000-page blockbuster. Ken Follett is no Tolstoy, but he is a tireless storyteller, and although his tale has flaws, it's grippingly told, and readable to the end.
Despite all this, "Fall of Giants" offers pleasures that more than compensate for its lack of literary finesse. Follett may not be Tolstoy, but he knows how to tell a compelling, well-constructed story. Once its basic elements are in place, the narrative acquires a cumulative, deceptively effortless momentum.
A lot happens on the first page of Ken Follett's "Fall of Giants." King George V is crowned at Westminster Abbey. A Welsh boy named Billy Williams turns 13 and begins his wretched life as a coal miner. And Mr. Follett, who was once a Welsh boy himself but grew up to become his generation's most vaunted writer of colorless historical epics, kicks off a whopping new trilogy. His apparent ambition: to span the whole 20th century in blandly adequate novels so fat that they're hard to hoist.

The Committee estimates that in 2001 (the most recent year for which data from all sources were available), there were 30,800 poisoning-related deaths in the United States (based on published figures and specially provided estimates from Lois Fingerhut at the National Center for Health Statistics, 2003). This estimate makes poisoning the second leading cause of injury-related death in the United States, behind motor vehicle deaths (N = 42,443) and ahead of gun-related deaths (N = 29,573). Our estimate is higher than that usually reported because it combines (1) the number of deaths in which poisoning is the reported underlying cause, along with (2) deaths in which alcohol or illicit drugs of abuse are the reported underlying cause. The Committee believes that including the alcohol and illicit drug deaths in its estimate is justified because these poisonings come to the attention of the poison control centers and because the revisions of the coding systems seem to be moving toward the inclusion of these cases.
As measures of morbidity, the Committee examined poison-related hospitalizations and overall exposures. Again, each of these estimates has its own unique definitional limitations, but the numbers presented in Table 1-1 are a way of showing the order of magnitude of poisoning as a cause of morbidity and health care system use. In 2001, there were 282,012 hospitalizations, as reported through the National Hospital Discharge Data Set, and more than 2.3 million human poison exposures (includes both actual and suspected exposures), as reported to TESS (Watson et al., 2003) by the poison control centers. It should be pointed out that TESS human exposure reports include both actual and suspected exposures to poisonous substances of all types. If anything, these are likely to be underestimates of true death and hospitalization numbers.

Sam Gagner, Nail Yakupov and Will Acton also scored for the Oilers. Mike Santorelli and Jannik Hansen replied for the Canucks. Santorelli opened the scoring 1:20 into the first and Gagner tied it up on a power-play goal with 7:01 left in the period. Perron put the Oilers ahead 4:13 into the second on a short-handed goal. Smyth scored goal at 15:58 of the third. Hansen got the Canucks within one just 40 seconds later, but Yakupov scored 49 seconds later to restore the Oilers' cushion and Acton closed it out with 1:12 left.

Host committee expects more than 90,000 hotel room nights for Republican convention
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday | Listen to this entire show:
In a conference call with reporters Tuesday, Ken Jones, the president of the Tampa Bay Host Committee for the Republican National Convention said the number of hotel rooms booked for the Republican National Convention is even more than they originally predicted.
âWe thought we were going to book 75,000 room-nights. As of this morning we were north of 90,000 room-nights and approaching 100,000. Part of it is I think thereâs some come early stay late traffic, part of it is we just got a better response than we thought on some of the hotel rooms, so that is very encouraging. Over 90,000 hotel room nights in the two slowest weeks in the entire year in the Tampa Bay area and weâre going to book all these hotels to capacity. â
Jones also revised upward the number of journalists expected from 15,000 to at least 16,000. He expects the Republican National Convention Host Committee to raise a total of $55-60 million dollars, though he said the committee wonât release complete fundraising data until the FCC filing date of October 15. Jones was asked why the Republican convention seemed to be having an easier time in raising funds for their convention in Tampa than the Democrats are for theirs in Charlotte.
âThey limited themselves to a certain number of dollars from lobbyists and corporation and we chose to follow the law as every other host committee does.â
Wednesday the Tampa Bay Host Committee will install what itâs calling its Presence Program of street pole banners in front of the Tampa Bay Times Forum.comments powered by Disqus

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
By Camie YoungSenior Writer firstname.lastname@example.com LAWRENCEVILLE — Tolls are down. Usage of Interstate 85's HOT lanes is up. But traffic is still clogged. The express lane system is in its second week, but stretches around Pleasant Hill Road still take up to three times as long as they did in the first days of the system, according to reports. Last Thursday, Gov. Nathan Deal intervened and the toll prices — still based on congestion — were cut by more than 40 percent. "I am relieved that Gov. Deal has entered the discussion directly himself," said Gwinnett Chairwoman Charlotte Nash, who has not given her opinion about the controversial toll proposal but did not attend a ceremony launching the project two weeks ago. "I am so sympathetic with the folks who are so frustrated with it. ... There is certainly an impact on the traffic flow. There is no doubt about that." Nash has a Peach Pass, which gives her access to the toll lanes, but has vowed only to use it in "dire emergencies." One morning last week, she was late to a meeting in Atlanta, as the hour and a half drive from her home in the Harbins community stretched to two hours. And she is even seeing the impact on surface streets, like Satellite Boulevard. "Obviously people are trying to figure out ways to avoid the interstate and that creates more traffic on the surface streets," she said. "Traffic is a funny thing. ... There are all sorts of ripple effects." Nash said she hoped the changes Deal has accelerated — the toll rates already lowered, the work on another access point and application for a waiver for two-person carpoolers to get free access — will help in trimming down the traffic. "I can't visualize the drivers in Gwinnett having to deal with this kind of situation indefinitely," she said. "It's not just the time. It's the frustration people feel when they are in a situation they cannot control. ... I'm hopeful that (Deal) will keep pushing on this, and give folks some relief."

Holder Contempt Resolution Advances in House
The House Oversight Committee has voted 23-17 to send a resolution finding Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress to the full House. It was a straight party-line vote. The president's assertion of executive privilege regarding the Fast and Furious documents did not do anything to deter congressional action.
House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor said in a statement that a full House vote could come next week if Holder and the Justice Department don't turn over the requested documents. "Despite being given multiple opportunities to provide the documents necessary for Congress' investigation into Fast and Furious, Attorney General Holder continues to stonewall," they said.
UPDATE: Cantor tweets, "Unless the Attorney General reevaluates his choice & supplies the promised documents, the House will vote to hold him in contempt next week."
Country singer Charlie Daniels was even more pointed:" I hope the house don't wimp out and panty waist their way out of a contempt citation on Holder A family lost a son and somebody needs to pay."

Hospital Ready to Support Fire Education Efforts with New Trailer
Janet Frank
(801) 357-7766
Utah Valley Regional Medical Center is now able to help rural communities educate the public on fire safety, thanks to a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The hospital recently purchased a fire safety trailer using the FEMA grant money. The trailer simulates a kitchen environment and people inside must react correctly to a variety of hazards.
"Visitors walk into the briefing section of the trailer and they're told what is going to happen as they go through. It's really a high-tech, hands-on experience," said Jack Price, safety and technology coordinator at Utah Valley Regional.
The fire hazards that visitors encounter inside the trailer are created digitally through a computer. The trailer is programmed externally through an iPad and can take participants through situations ranging from a toaster fire to earthquakes. Visitors waiting in line for their turn can also watch what's happening on television monitors outside the trailer.
Utah Valley Regional hopes to send the trailer to rural areas that don't have such a resource. A trained staff member from the hospital will transport the trailer and educate local fire fighters on how to use it properly. The local fire fighters would then help residents through the experience. Businesses, apartment complexes, nursing homes or any other place where people need to learn about fire safety may also be interested in using the trailer.

In short, while the A700 has a high-res panel and a clean ICS build in its favor, it's not quite the best 10-inch Android tablet out there.Read the full review →
A full HD display can't make up for this tablet's glitchy performance
In many ways, the new Iconia Tab A700 continues Acer's tablet legacy, with a lightly (and attractively) skinned version of Android, a less-than-thin design and middling battery life. In other ways, this device improves on past products: Rather than the standard 1,280 x 800 resolution, you get a 1,920 x 1,200-pixel display, and audio quality is nothing to sniff at.
Though that HD panel is pretty sweet, it's not the best out there. For $50 more, ASUS' 10-inch Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 offers a display with the same resolution -- plus wider viewing angles and better outdoor visibility thanks to IPS technology. That tablet also boasts a thinner, lighter design and longer battery life. And performance-wise, you'll suffer fewer glitches on the TF700 than on Acer's slate, which stuttered, hung and even crashed more than a few times during our testing period. In short, while the A700 has a high-res panel and a clean ICS build in its favor, it's not quite the best 10-inch Android tablet out there.

Bare FAQ
1. What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a procedure, which removes hair from the body utilizing a long pulse laser. Laser hair removal lasers have been in use since 1997. The treatment is performed by a specially-trained laser specialist or a doctor (depending on the clinic and state regulations) by pointing the laser device at shaved skin. Laser heat disables follicles from producing hair. Hair grows in cycles. Since various hairs will enter their growth cycle at different times, about 6-8 treatments at intervals of 4-6 weeks are necessary to disable most of the follicles in a given area.
2. Am I a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Both men and women seek laser hair removal to remove unwanted hair. Hair removal is commonly done on underarm, pubic area, legs, abdomen, lip, chin, back, buttocks, thighs, face, neck, chest, arms, fingers and toes. Laser technology works by targeting dark pigment. Therefore, it works best on pale skin and dark coarse hair. The lighter the skin and the darker and more coarse the hair, the better are the results. That being said, people with light brown hair or darker skin tones can still be successful with laser hair removal, however the number of treatments may need to be increased as you will be damaging the hair follicle at a slower rate because it cannot hold as much heat as a dark, coarse hair.
(Purchase a Laser Package of 8 treatments to save!)
3. Which Type of Hair Removal Laser will Work for Me?
Currently, there are three popular types of hair removal lasers made by various manufacturers: Alexandrite, Diode, and Nd:YAG. Intense Pulse Light systems (IPLs) are also used for hair removal. Some of the more popular brands of devices currently on the market are:
Alexandrite: GentleLASE, Apogee
(this is the type we use here at Bare!)
Diode: LightSheer, F1 Diode, MeDioStar, Palomar SLP 1000, Comet (w/RF technology)
Nd:YAG: CoolGlide, GentleYAG, Lyra-i, Sciton
Alexandrite/ND:Yag Combination Devices: GentleMAX, Apogee Elite, Apogee MPX
IPL: Palomar Starlux and EsteLux, Harmony, EpiLight, Aculight, Vasculigh, Aurora
In order to determine the best device to use, patients/laser technicians need to figure out their skin type using the Fitzpatrick Skin Chart*. In 1975, Thomas B Fitzpatrick, MD, PhD, of Harvard Medical School, developed a classification system for skin typing. This system was based on a person's response to sun exposure in terms of the degree of burning and tanning the individual experienced. (*This tool is approximate)
TYPE I: Highly sensitive, always burns, never tans.
Example: Red hair with freckles or Albino
TYPE II: Very sun sensitive, burns easily, tans minimally.
Example: Fair-skinned, fair-haired Caucasians
TYPE III: Sun sensitive skin, sometimes burns, slowly tans to light brown.
Example: Darker Caucasians, European mix
TYPE IV: Minimally sun sensitive, burns minimally, always tans to moderate brown.
Example: Mediterranean, European, Asian, Hispanic, American Indian
TYPE V: Sun-insensitive skin, rarely burns, tans well.
Example: Hispanics, Afro-American, Middle Eastern
TYPE VI: Sun-insensitive, never burns, deeply pigmented.
Example: Afro-American, African, Middle Eastern
Laser Types
Alexandrite lasers are best for skin types I-IV
(This is the type of laser we use at Bare!)
Diode lasers work well for skin types I-IV
Nd:YAG lasers are best for skin types IV and darker
ND:YAG lasers were specifically created to cater to dark-skinned patients. This is the only type of laser that should be used on skin types V and darker. Using any other types of lasers on this type of skin can result in burns if they are used at settings that disable the hair permanently. (We are hoping to purchase a YAG laser to use at Bare very soon for our Type V skin types so check in with us periodically!)
4. How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Lasers designed for permanent hair reduction emit wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair (melanin). If the surrounding skin is lighter than the color of the hair, the energy of the laser is concentrated in the hair shaft, effectively destroying it without affecting the skin or the follicle. Since lasers target pigment, treatments are most effective on coarse hair because it has a lot of pigment and can absorb a lot of heat. Fine hair cannot absorb as much heat and therefore may require additional treatments. The ability of the laser device to produce a very narrow bandwidth on a consistent basis is the key to a safe, efficient treatment. While the laser emits a beam that only heats the hair shaft, heat is transmitted from the hair shaft to the surrounding tissue for several milliseconds after the laser pulse. Several lasers possess cooling attachments, which cool the surrounding skin to fully absorb any heat transmitted from the destroyed hair shafts.
(We use this cooling agent on our laser at Bare!)
Intense Pulse Light (IPL) machines are not lasers. These machines use a highly concentrated beam of traditional, incoherent light, often in conjunction with a cream or gel, to burn the hair shaft. A serious flaw with these systems is that they lack the laser's ability to produce a selective bandwidth of light that will only affect the hair shaft (selective photothermolysis). IPLs produce a wide bandwidth of light that can heat up all of the surrounding tissue, making it less effective in disabling hair and putting the patient at a higher risk for burns, especially on darker skin. IPL devices are generally cheaper than laser devices, which is why many clinics choose to use them.
(We do NOT use IPL devices at Bare!)
Generally, true hair removal lasers (i.e. alexandrite, diode, and ND:Yag types) tend to achieve better and faster results than IPLs.
5. How Many Laser Treatments Will I Need and How Far Apart are They Scheduled?
Most patients need at least 6-8 effective treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Because hair grows in cycles, several sessions are necessary in order to affect all hair on any given area. Due to length of hair growth cycles, treatments are usually needed once every 4-6 weeks. Hair cycle length varies depending on body part. Face usually requires more frequent treatments (about 4 weeks apart) whereas legs and back need less frequent treatments (closer to 6 weeks apart). Shedding of all treated hair should be expected within 2 weeks of each treatment. Once the hair sheds, patients should experience a hair-free period of several weeks. Once new hair comes in again, patients should come in for their next session.
6. Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
Laser hair removal lasers have been in use since 1997 and the Food and Drug Administration approved them for ?permanent reduction.? They disable hair permanently as long as the right type of hair is treated with an appropriate type of laser at effective settings. However, it is called a ?reduction? because, no matter what some clinics may claim, hair removal lasers cannot always remove 100% of the hair in an area. With proper treatments, laser can remove the majority of the coarse hair on a body area, but they cannot remove finer hairs all of the time. Generally, a patient can tell how much reduction was achieved from a course of treatments after waiting 6-12 months from their last treatment. Any hair that grows in after the 12-month period is new hair that the body can develop due to numerous factors such as age, diet, hormonal changes, and medical conditions such as PCOS. Patients who experience new growth later in life can get touchup treatments. Some experts believe a small percentage of people are non-responders to laser hair removal treatments. This has not been confirmed or proven, and reasons are not known. At the same time, it's difficult to judge whether a patient?s lack of results is, in fact, due to being a non-responder. Lack of results could be due to an undetected underlying medical condition or improperly performed treatments.
7. How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
Prices vary widely from clinic to clinic. It?s a good idea to get quotes from several clinics in the area to compare prices and other factors. Some clinics offer discounts if paying for a package of multiple treatments upfront.
(Bare offers a 50% off deal for all prepaid packages!)
However, buying a package also prevents an unhappy patient from switching providers. Since laser operator skill is very important in achieving results, it is recommended to start with one small area and investing in treatment packages only once satisfied. It?s a good idea to compare types of lasers used, treatment prices, and most importantly the technicians? skill and experiences!
8. Is Laser Hair Removal Painful?
In one pulse, laser removes all the hair on a patch of skin the size of a nickel or a quarter. Generally, laser hair removal is not much more painful than waxing, though the sensation is different. With each pulse, the feeling resembles a rubber band snapping against the skin for a quick second. Pain is only felt while the laser is hitting the skin and doesn?t last. Most people do not require an anesthetic cream, though one can be prescribed to more sensitive patients. EMLA is one popular option. Using anesthetic creams is safest on small areas. It?s also important to obtain a cream that is properly compounded. Using an inappropriately compounded numbing cream on large areas can result in adverse side effects or even death. Patients should consult with their doctor.
(EMLA cream is available for purchase at Bare, however we very seldom have a client who actually feels that they need it so we always recommend trying laser without the anesthetic cream?it doesn?t hurt very bad at all!)
9. Are They any Laser Hair Removal Risks or Side Effects?
Some people may experience the following potential temporary side effects:
Redness for up to 3 days (highly unlikely though ? usually area is red for about an hour at most)
Swelling around mouth of follicle for up to 3 days (again, unlikely ? inflammation usually is gone relatively fast)
Tingling or feeling of numbness
The following rare side effects are indicative of inappropriate laser type and/or settings:
Crusting/scab formation
Purpura (purple coloring of the skin)
Temporary pigment change (hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation)
10. What if I Merely Want to Reduce Hair Density in a Certain Area?
Yes. This can be achieved with 3-4 treatments instead of the full course of 6-8 treatments. To achieve an even reduction without patchiness, it is imperative to find an experienced laser operator who overlaps properly while covering the area and doesn?t miss spots.
(Laser Technicians at Bare are trained on this procedure and are able to achieve this desired effect!)
It?s also a good idea to wait at least 12 weeks between sessions in order to correctly assess the amount of reduction achieved at any point during the course of treatments.
11. How Do I Choose the Right Laser Clinic for My Needs?
THE LASER: Choose a clinic with the best laser for your skin type*. Do not fall for marketing hype. Every laser can technically be applied to any skin type without adverse side effects by manipulating the settings, but only the right laser at appropriate settings will result in permanent hair reduction. *Patients who are in between skin types on the Fitzpatrick skin chart should get test spots done with various laser types to determine whether their skin can handle aggressive settings on the more powerful devices.
THE CLINIC: Choose a clinic whose main priority is your results. Be an informed consumer and ask questions to assess the clinic?s knowledge of laser hair removal. Avoid clinics with high-pressure tactics. Prices can vary by as much as 100-300%, and are often negotiable.
THE LASER OPERATOR: The person operating the laser device should have extensive experience specifically in laser hair removal. The best technicians are those who have the most hands-on experience, not those with the most education on paper. It?s a good idea to find out whether the same person will be performing each session.
(Bare prides themself on being the best option out there for your laser hair removal needs and will continue to do so!)
12. What Should I Expect Before and After a Laser Treatment?
Patients should not wax, epilate, or remove hair with the root using any other hair removal method for at least 4 weeks prior to their first session and throughout their course of treatments. The hair needs to be in place in order to be targeted by laser as laser devices targets the pigment in the hair. The area to be treated should be shaved 1-2 days prior to treatments so that the energy is targeted towards the hair follicle and not wasted it on the hair above the skin?s surface. Treating unshaved skin can result in burning of the skin by singed hairs. Treatments are relatively quick. Both underarms take about 2 minutes total. Full legs can take about 45 minutes- 1 hour. After the treatment, applying ice packs and cooled pure aloe vera gel help soothe the skin. All hair should shed within 2 weeks* following the treatment. Sometimes, shedding doesn?t start until about 10 days after the session. During the shedding phase, hair may look like it?s growing, but it is actually coming out to shed. Exfoliating and/or scrubbing gently in the shower with a loofa can help speed up the shedding process. After 2 weeks, some patients may see small black dots remain in the hair follicles on some areas. These are commonly referred to as ?pepperspots?, which eventually shed on their own. Exfoliating may help speed up the process. Regardless, they will be singed off in the following session. Once the hair sheds, patients should experience a hair-free period for several weeks. Once new hair grows in, patients should come in for their next session. For most people and on most body areas, this happens about 4-6 weeks after the previous treatment. Patients should continue treatments until remaining hairs are too fine for laser to target, or until they?ve reached their desired reduction. *Shedding of all treated hair should be expected within 2 weeks of each treatment. The hair which doesn?t shed and is growing as usual after 2 weeks has been either missed or not affected due to inappropriate settings. If this is the case, a touchup treatment is necessary at that time. All 6-8 treatments should be good effective treatments at aggressive settings in order to achieve permanent results.
13. What Are the Hair Growth Cycles?
Hair growth in each hair follicle occurs in a cycle. There are three main phases of the hair growth cycle: anagen, catagen and telogen. Anagen (active) is the growing phase or when the hair fiber is produced. Catagen (club hair) is the period of controlled regression of the hair follicle. This phase is when the lower part of the hair stops growing, but does not shed, and the follicle is reabsorbed. Telogen (tired) is the last of the hair growth cycle. In this resting phase, the old hair falls out in preparation for the development of a new anagen hair. Normally this cycle of hair production will continue for the duration of the individual's life. However, various factors can influence, promote and inhibit hair production. Laser affects hairs when it?s in its anagen phase of growth. Thus, patients need multiple treatments in order to disable each batch of hair as it enters the anagen phase of growth. Hair cycle length varies depending on body part. Face usually requires more frequent treatments (about 4 weeks apart) whereas legs and back need less frequent treatments (closer to 6 weeks apart). Spacing treatments 4-6 weeks apart allows adequate time to target hair on most body areas.
14. What are the Causes of Excessive Hair Growth and How Can They Affect My Treatments?
The causes of excessive hair growth are many and varied, including:
Glandular and/or hormonal imbalances, including diseases causing these effects (i.e. PCOS condition in women)
Insulin resistance issues
Thyroid problems
Reactions to certain medications
Normal aging processes
Excessive temporary hair removal methods that impact the root (like waxing and tweezing)
Before starting laser treatments, patients with excessive hair growth on uncommon areas should explore possible underlying medical reasons for it. Hair removal methods can only impact hair that?s currently growing. They cannot prevent the body from developing new hair after treatments are completed. Women with facial male-pattern growth are advised to see an endocrinologist to explore the possibility of PCOS or elevated testosterone levels. Men experiencing excessive growth can get tested for insulin resistance.
15. Is it True that Laser Hair Removal Can Actually Stimulate Hair Growth in Some Areas?
Some patients report that finer hairs treated with laser become more prominent and more numerous. Related discussions have begun at industry conferences. It is an extremely rare occurrence which happens only when treating fine hair, especially on women?s faces and men?s upper arms, shoulders and upper backs. It is also a concern when treating sparse hairs of any kind on any body area. Darker skin types (type IV and darker) are more susceptible to experiencing laser-induced growth.
We hope that we have helped you answer your questions about laser hair removal, but if you are still unsure or have more concerns or questions, please contact Bare directly and ask for to speak with the owner, Jamie, as she would be glad to assist you in making the right choice for laser.
