A lithotripter includes a therapeutic head with a source for the production and focusing of shockwaves into the body of a patient and is mounted such that a center axis of the head is forced to move and remain on the surface of a cone whose apex point coincides with the focus of the therapeutic head, external to the head, so as to obtain isocentric motion of the head vis-a-vis that focus, even if that focus is made to be positioned in the body of the patient and an ultrasonic transducer is isocentrally mounted on the therapeutic head.
1. A lithotripter including a therapeutic head with a source for the production of shockwaves, and including a structure for focusing and for conduction of shockwaves into the body of a patient, there being a focal point (F) accordingly, the lithotripter further including stationary support structure, the improvement comprising,
a mounting structure for the therapeutic head including
(a) a first lever extending essentially horizontally from said stationary support structure,
(b) a mount on one end of the first lever,
(c) a second lever rotatably mounted on the said mount for turning on an axis (DR), said axis (DR) inclined by a particular angle in relation to a vertical line (V) running through the focal point and said axis (DR) being coincident with a central axis of a conical surface, so that a center axis (LH) of the head is forced to move on said conical surface whose apex point coincides with the focal point (F) of the therapeutic head, said focal point being external to the head, as said second lever rotates on the mount of the first lever, an isocentric motion of the head vis-a-vis said focal point is obtained, even if said focal point is made to be positioned in the body of the patient,
the conical surface pertaining to a cone having an apex angle between 20 degrees and 30 degrees, and
said head being turned as the second lever is being turned, so that with reference to the first lever the head will not rotate and its orientation remains invariant.
2. Apparatus as in claim 1 wherein said conical surface includes said vertical line (V), such that the axis (DR) of rotation is inclined relative to said vertical line (V) by half of the apex angle.
3. Apparatus as in claim 1, including break means for stopping and arresting the position of the therapeutic head once adjusted.
4. Apparatus as in claim 1 including an isocentrically disposed transducer for ultrasonic imaging, wherein the center of said transducer coincides with said apex point and said focal point.
5. A lithotripter comprising a therapeutic head having a center axis (LH) including a shockwave generator constructed for focusing shockwaves in a focal point F external to the generator there being a stationary structure;
first means for mounting the therapeutic head including a stationary lever mounted to the stationary structure, and a turning lever rotating on the stationary lever that is mounted to said stationary structure, the turning lever being provided for mounting said head for rotation about an axis DR that runs through said focal point, said axis (DR) being coincident with a central axis of a conical surface, such that said center axis (LH) of the head rotates about the axis DR of rotation, the center axis (LH) of the head runs through said focal point (F) and the center axis (LH) of the head delineates said conical surface pertaining to a cone with an apex at said focal point (F) wherein the head retains its as it rotates on the conical surface orientation and does not rotate in an absolute sense relative to said stationary lever;
an imaging ultrasonic transducer having an axis (LR); and
second means for mounting said imaging transducer on said head in variable positions such that the axis (LR) of the transducer always runs through said focal point (F).
6. A lithotripter as in claim 5, the second means for mounting including a ring having a central axis coinciding with the axis (LH) for rotating the transducer about the head, and lever means for pivoting the transducer about axis (U.S. phi) that runs transversely to said axis (LH).
The present invention relates to a lithotripter and more generally to apparatus for treating a patient with focused shockwaves under utilization of a therapeutic head which includes structure for the production focusing and conducting of shockwaves in relation to the body of a patient.
Lithotripters i.e. apparatus for contactfree comminution of concrements in the body of a living being include often a stationary shockwave source generator and the position of the patient is shifted, while he or she is on a rest, until the particular body parts that such as kidney with concrements, are situated in the focal point of the shockwave system. In addition other equipment is known wherein the shockwave system that includes a therapeutic head can be positioned in relation to the patient or to each other. Obviously the amount and kind of motion that has to be accommodated is complex while on the other hand the more parts are movable the greater is the degree of freedom as far as positioning is concerned. It is, therefore, a problem to establish a proper relation between ease of operation and adjustability and movability of the patient and as well as to the construction of items of equipment in relation to each other so that it is adequate for the therapeutic purposes on one hand, while on the other hand unnecessary mechanical complexity is to be avoided for reasons of cost maintenance and so forth.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved apparatus for positioning lithotripter equipment in relation to a patient for purposes of locating a concrement as well as comminution treatment.
It is a specific object of the present invention to provide a new and improved lithotripter that includes a therapeutic head containing structure for the production, focusing and conduction of shockwaves in relation to a suitably positioned patient.
In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention it is suggested to mount the therapeutic head in such a manner that the axis of the head can be moved on a cone having an apex that as given by the external focus of the shockwave equipment so that in fact an isocentric movement is obtained. In the preferred form the cone surface should include a vertical line. In other words the therapeutic head is caused to turn and rotate about its focal point such that the head can be positioned to be on a straight vertical axis or offset axis with a maximum angle being that of a cone angle. The positioning must be obtained even though there is no fastening equipment at the apex point of the cone; the apex point is the focal point which is made to coincide with a point in the interior of a patient. The motion moreover is to be carried out in that upon moving the head on that cone it is also turned so that with reference to the entire equipment it will not rotate about its own longitudinal axis. This is an important feature since it prevents undesirable displacement or shifting of the equipment during the locating as well as comminution procedures locating a concrement is not only carried out in advance of the therapeutic lithotripter treatment, but throughout in an interspersing fashion in order to track the progress of the comminuting.
As far as the practical configuration is concerned the therapeutic head is hinged or linked to a two arm lever whereby the first lever arm is and remain in horizontal and has in one of its end a journal mount for the second arm whose axis of pivoting or turning is at an angle to a vertical, that angle is somewhere between above 0 and 45 degrees. In the preferred form the angle is 15 degrees; and it should not be smaller than 10 and should not exceed 30 for practical purposes. Whenever the angle between the main axis of the therapeutic head and the aforementioned axis of turning of the two arms to each other has the same angle then inherently a cone obtains with an apex angle of 30 degrees. This is the preferred form of practicing the invention.
The entire head including its mounting and moving structures should be provided such that it can be, so to speak, shifted or placed out of the way. This may obtain in that the first arm is made to turn around a vertical axis. This way the entire cone of the therapeutic head can be moved out of the way such that the attending physician has a greater degree of freedom with regard to his position vis-a-vis the patient. Also the equipment as a whole (other than the lithotripter head) may then be used for other related medical treatments such as endourological or transurethral procedures.
In a particular configuration an ultrasonic, locating and imaging transducer is connected to the therapeutic head. The center axis of that transducer is always oriented towards the focal point of the therapeutic head which, as already said, is the apex point of the cone for the displacement and positioning of the therapeutic lithotripter head. Through particular guiding and motion structure one can achieve this result that has the advantage that the focal point is always situated on the center axis of the ultrasonic image. This invariance facilitates greatly the locating procedure. The attending physician will have a relatively large degree of freedom to select for an appropriate window as far as imaging some interior part of the patient is concerned, while at the same time he is certain that he will not lose the focus that is always oriented to the center. Details of this kind of arrangement is disclosed and claimed in our companion application, (Ser. No. 513,612 filed 04/24/1990) and whose content is incorporated by reference.
The ultrasonic transducer is preferably mounted on a ring for rotation on and around the therapeutic head so that rotation obtains around the longitudinal axis of the therapeutic head. The isocentric motion of the transducer will be enforced by a multilever arrangement wherein the first and the third lever are interconnected to be always in parallel. In addition the transducer will be capable of shifting along its longitudinal axis in order to accommodate different distances between the equipment, the patient and the relative location of the concrement. The transducer can also be rotatable about the own axis so that the search for concrement is facilitated further.
While the specification concludes with claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which is regarded as the invention, it is believed that the invention, the objects and features of the invention and further objects, features and advantages thereof will be better understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGS. 1a, b, c are respectively front view, side view and top elevation of a lithotripter generally with kinematics in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention; and
FIG. 2 illustrates the kinematic mounting of the therapeutic head together with the transducer in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention for practicing the best mode thereof.
Proceeding now to the detailed description of the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a lithotripter wherein the character GE refers to equipment generally such a power supply and so forth but having in addition a patient rest PR arranged in a cantilever arrangement sideways as can be seen from FIGS. 1a, c. The patient is shown only in FIG. 1a and 2. Details of this kind of rest is disclosed in copending application of common assignee, (Ser. No. 513,612 filed 04-24-1990), whose content is incorporated by reference. There is a therapeutic head TH provided which includes a lithotripter proper such as submerged arc discharge or the like, for the generation of shockwaves. A rotational ellipsoidal reflector with two foci is included; one focus coincides with the discharge locus, the other one is the external lithotripter focus into which concrement comminuting shockwaves are concentrated. An appropriate water cushion means is provided for coupling this reflection structure to the body B of a patient.
The patient's rest PR can be moved up or down which situates the entire equipment of the head TH in the vertical (z). The head TH is mounted on a lever structure which includes a cantilever arm A1 which can be moved also in the vertical, independently from the patent rest PR. this motion and adjustability is indicated by THZ. The arm A1 has pivotally mounted on its free end a second arm A2 which carries the head TH in a manner described more fully below. The head TH in turn carries a transducer TR fastened thereto so that the ultrasonic transducer TR has always its center line coincide with the focal point F of the head TH. M is a monitor which displays the ultrasonic image.
FIGS. 1a, b, c illustrate the degrees of freedom for movement particularly of the rest PR. The direction Z which is the vertical was already mentioned and the therapeutic head TH is correspondingly but independently movable in that direction, THZ. The rest may be movable and adjustable further in the horizontal plane i.e. in x and y directions whereby the x axis is generally the longitudinal axis of the rest and will more or less coincide with the length axis of the patient, while the y direction is simply orthogonal to the vertical and to the longitudinal axis as defined.
The therapeutic head TH moreover can be pivoted as is shown in FIG. 1c about the vertical axis in order to assume what may be called a parking position PP which in fact is totally out of the way, and will not interfere with the attending doctor when wanted to check the patient, unimpeded by any equipment. The shifting of the patient's rest in the z-direction is in effect a vertical shifting of the cantilever mount of the rest on the equipment GE. There is shown e.g. a particular maximum height position being e.g. 1.15 m. A normal or usual level of treatment which is illustrated in the figure is about to be 85 cm.
FIG. 1b illustrated three basic levels, A is the placement level for the patient to be placed onto the rest PR. B is the level to which the rest is lifted for lithotriptic treatment and C is the level in which kidney stones usually appear when the rest is in the B-level.
FIG. 2 illustrates the motion of the head TH. The longitudinal axis LH of the head TH can be moved to run on a cone whose apex point coincides with the focal point F of the shockwave focusing system. As shown in our parallel copending application this point F also will coincide with the isocenter of the transducer TR. In the particular embodiment shown in FIG. 2 lithotriptic treatment head TH is fastened to the two levers A1 and A2 shown already in FIG. 1b. Herein arm A2 is mounted to A1 (mount M1) and turns about a fixed axis DR which is the center axis of the cone which the axis LH outlines when the head TH undertakes a conical position movement and adjustment about axis DR. The angle of the axis DR vis-a-vis the vertical is 15 degrees, that means the apex angle of the cone is 30 degrees. The longitudinal axis of the head TH has the same angle, namely 15 degrees vis-a-vis the axis DR. That means that in a certain adjustment position the axis LH of the therapeutic head TH will coincide with the vertical V.
Generally speaking there are basically two motions involved. One is described by the angle TH omega which is in effect the wobbling motion on a cone when the axis LH rotates about the axes DR. In addition the entire arrangement can shift up and down indicated by the vertical movement THZ (see FIG. 1b). Owing to the pivot motion around the cone apex F the head can be moved vis-a-vis the x,y direction by the components THx and THy maximum in each instance 30 degrees (FIG. 2). The component THx is in the x direction as defined in FIG. 1a, that is along side the equipment, in the direction of the length extension of the rest PR which is in a vertical plane transverse to the plane of the drawing of FIG. 2. The shift THy in the y-direction is as far as swiveling of head TH is concerned in the plane of the drawing of FIG. 2, and towards and away from the equipment GE.
The arm A2 has, of course, an angle of extension of 30 degrees vis-a-vis the horizontal extension of arm A1, while the mount M1 establishes the 15 degrees axis DR. Now, as arm A2 rotates about axis DR, through e.g. chains or belts a journal motion is transmitted upon the head TH as it is mounted on the free end of arm AZ such that the orientation of the head TH remains invariant. By way of example the head TH is shown in a position of maximum angular deflector THy out of the vertical V. the levers L and transducer TR extend fully sideways. Now, as lever A2 turns in mount M1 on axis DR, there is an offset motion of the head TH about its axis LH in the journal mount M1 such that the lateral orientation of the lever L to the right remains as shown.
As shown in our copending application Ser. No. 513,612, filed 04-24-1990 whose content is incorporated by the reference the therapeutic head TR is kinematically linked to the head TH, in that three arms (or groups of arms) connect to a ring R on the head TH and to the ultrasonic transducer TR. There is, therefore, made possible a motion of the transducer TR around the axis LH of the therapeutic head TH, there is also made possible a pivot motion of the transducer TR by an angle U.S. phi about an axis that runs normally to the longitudinal axis LH of the head TH through focal point F. There is an angle U.S. omega which is a turning motion of the head TH around its longitudinal axis, and there is a turning motion of the transducer TR itself about its axis LR, which motion is indicated by U.S. epsilon. Then there is the shifting motion TRV in and along the longitudinal axis LR of the transducer TR.
Concerning these various motions, the equipment includes electronic positioning transducers and path tracking devices of known configuration. They are provided to ascertain, on a given scale and in each instance where the various parts are in relation to each other as far as angular and linear positions are concerned and this can be translated into images of points or the like in the ultrasonic image as displayed by the monitor M.
It is readily understandable that the movability of the therapeutic head TH in relation to the patient's rest PR, and the equipment generally, and the moving of the ultrasonic transducer TR in relation to the head TH permits the attending physician to have available a large range of choices as far as viewing angles and treatment windows are concerned combined with the underlying certainty that there is a fixed point F in relation to all, relevant pieces of the equipment that have to cooperate for locating and comminuting concrements.
Patient rest: vertical-z; horizontal longitudinal-x; horizontal transverse-y;
Head TH vertical THz; horizontal-through-swivel THy; THx (transverse to plane to FIG. 2); turning motion of arm A2 and axis LH about a cone axis DR with F as an apex;
Transducer TR turning by ring R about axis LH-angle U.S. omega; turning about axis LR, angle U.S. epsilon; up/down swivel about F-angle U.S. phi; towards/away from focus F on axis LR-U.S. nu angle.
The invention is not limited to the embodiments described above but all changes and modifications thereof, not constituting departures from the spirit and scope of the invention, are intended to be included.

Editorial: "Why string is one of the greatest inventions"
CALL it prehistoric string theory. The earliest evidence of string has been found – apparently created by our Neanderthal cousins.
Perishable materials usually rot away, so the oldest string on record only dates back 30,000 years. But perforations in small stone and tooth artefacts from Neanderthal sites in France suggest the pieces were threaded on string and worn as pendants. "The wear patterns provide circumstantial evidence of early use of string, but the evidence is not definitive," says Bruce Hardy at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. Similar circumstantial evidence has been found in perforated shells.
Now, Hardy and his colleagues have found slender, 0.7-millimetre-long plant fibres that are twisted together near some stone artefacts at a site in south-east France that was occupied by Neanderthals 90,000 years ago. Such fibres are not twisted together in nature, says the team, suggesting that the Neanderthals were responsible (Quaternary Science Reviews, doi.org/pzx).
"If they are indeed remnants of string or cordage, then they would be the earliest direct evidence of string," says Hardy. "Albeit very fragmentary evidence."
At 90,000 years old, the material purported to be string predates the arrival of Homo sapiens in Europe. That means the Neanderthals occupying the French site learned to make it themselves, rather than imitating modern humans, says Hardy. In fact, a growing body of evidence suggests our extinct cousins developed a number of sophisticated behaviours – and perhaps even taught some skills to our species when the two met.
Last year, stone tools created by Neanderthals were found on Mediterranean islands, hinting that the species may have made and used boats to cross the sea – although no direct evidence of boats has been found. Hardy points out that sturdy ropes would have been necessary to build and use rafts and boats. "The ability of Neanderthals to manufacture string and cordage certainly does make the idea of Neanderthal seafaring more plausible," he says.

Aggie, as you know 22kt gold is 22/24ths gold, and 2/24ths something else. That is by weight, so by number of atoms it's about 90% gold at most.
Making gold chloride involves dissolving it in Aqua Regia (a particularly nasty mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acid). The other components must then be removed until you're left with 99% gold in the solution (pure enough for toning), and the acid removed until you're left with gold chloride only.
I would not like to try it.
Technically speaking, the correct name for "gold chloride" is "tetrachloroaurantic acid" if I remember correctly - or was it "hexachloro--"?
Try searching for the chemical under that name, sometimes it may turn up less expensive alternatives.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Chasing down a fleeing orc and holy sand giants!
Being smahed into a pulp was a Sand Giant reference. There they are out in the distance, usually we would take down the orc before they aggroed the giants. These giants ruled the zone, there were no guards here for protection. They loved walking within yards of your exp camp. That really made everyone nervous cause when you died you would lose exp. So it wasn't any fun hence why everyone fought at the zone line, hehe...

President Goodluck Jonathan has said he will meet tomorrow with the 36 state governors and their commissioners for health to discuss how to contain the spread of the deadly Ebola virus in the country.
The president said this yesterday in Abuja at the interfaith conference convened by the Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar III and John Cardinal Onaiyekan.
The president assured that the Federal Govern-ment would do everything possible to contain the Ebola virus, especially by assisting states that lack the capacity to manage the containment.
"As a government, we promise we'll do every-thing possible to contain Ebola. We're doing our best. On Wednesday, I'm going to meet with all the governors of the states, they'll come with their commissioners for health, and we must make sure that every state is prepared. Where they (states) lack, the federal government will support the states to make sure that they have what it takes to contain Ebola virus", he said.
The president pleaded that for now, burial ceremonies should be stopped in the country for now, saying anybody who died should be buried where he/she died. He said he recently learnt from the Director General of the World Health Organisation, Mrs. Marget Chan, that 60 percent of the spread of Ebola virus comes from burial.
Jonathan, who cautioned against reckless sharing of food and drinks and unnecessary body contacts, also appealed to spiritual healing homes to manage their activities professionally.
He quoted the Director General of the World Health Organisation, Mrs. Marget Chan as saying that the spread of Ebola was 60 percent through burials.
"We're pleading that our people who believe in some kind of ceremonies and so on, this is not the best period for those ceremonies. If somebody dies now, that person should be buried where he died. When we get over this, you can exhume the body if you want, the government will provide the medical examiner that will help you exhume the body for you to go and bury the way you want," Jonathan promised.
"When the Director General of WHO told me 60 per cent of the spread of Ebola was through burials, we must advise our people not to over celebrate burials now. Sawyer who brought this Ebola to Nigeria also contracted it because his sister died of Ebola and he went for the burial and he participated in a way that he became a victim."
He also urged "religious leaders that most of the religious things we do, the traditional things we do, sharing of food and sharing of drinks, unnecessary body contacts, spiritual healing homes within this period let us manage it professionally."
The president also urged religious leaders in the country to educate their adherents on Ebola virus.
"It's unfortunate that one mad man brought Ebola to us, but we have to contain it. But this is a good forum we'll use to also plead with our religious leaders because people listen to you more than they listen to politicians. So, in our various preaching in the mosques in the church, we should communicate clearly. I've been having discussions with people outside and within the country since this incident happened," he said.

About Rudi Prott
I started photographing when I was 16 years old. In the beginning I set the focus to soccer. Four years later I made the photos for the local soccer team and the local newspaper.
After having finished my university studies I started traveling. Photographing nature and sometimes city views replaced the soccer engagement.
In the 90s I had two exhibitions in the rooms of the ARAG Life Insurance in Munich (Carnevale di Venezia and Nepal). The Venice images where used by a big pre press company for a calendar. For 2012 I published my first own calendar about World Heritage Sites of Nature.

Rindy Ryan, a former elementary school teacher and mother of three children enrolled in Berkeley County public schools, announced she is seeking the Berkeley County School Board District 2 seat. Ryan holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Illinois and a Master of Arts in Elementary Education from Washington University.
The education of our children should always come first, said Ryan. I learned that working in the classroom for nine years. And today, as a mom of three children in the Berkeley County School District, as a school volunteer, as someone who has been heavily involved in education at the local level within Berkeley County, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges parents, children and our school board face.
Ryans involvement and experience working with other parents and the school board last year to recommend a plan and vision for schools to serve students in District 2 is what motivated her to seek the school board seat.
Transparency and accountability arent just words; theyre actions. This seat should be held by someone who will have an open door and be accountable to those they serve, Ryan stated. I am not a politician. And I strongly believe this seat should be held by someone with experience in education. We also need someone who has proven leadership and who understands and cares about advancing student achievement above anything else.
Ryan attended public schools all of her life and sends all of her children to public school in Berkeley County. She is personally invested in the future and success of Berkeley County public schools.
Ryan added, We need greater accountability in the classroom; we need to retain the highest quality teachers we can find, and we need to look at creative ways to ensure every child receives the best education they can get, right here in Berkeley County. Every option should be on the table.

A summer study committee will attempt to project how much the Department of Corrections will save once the new system is implemented.
The legislation aims to make sentences for the worst criminal offenses more severe while reducing the penalties for low-level crimes.
Legislators are still trying to determine how much a shift toward more rehabilitation will cost local governments.
A public defenders group says the overhaul of the state's criminal code system does not provide an adequate rewrite of its sentencing structure.
The Indiana legislature considered measures on casinos and veterans benefits, and Governor Mike Pence announced his concerns with the criminal code bill.
Gov. Mike Pence says the bill that revises the state's criminal code is too lenient with low-level offenders.
Some criminals receive social or drug rehabilitation services in county jails, but many others are referred to outside facilities during their incarceration.
The Indiana Senate is considering this week legislation overhauling the state's criminal code after the House passed the bill.
At the Statehouse, the House passed a budget and a bill overhauling the state's criminal code. The Senate passed legislation regulating drug-induced abortions.

Lihula is a town in Estonia with population of 1,614 (as of 2006). It is a centre of a rural municipality in Lääne County.
Lihula castle[edit]
The castle of Lihula (German: Leal) was first mentioned in 1211, but it appears the site was used as a fortress since the Iron Age.[1] In 1220, a Swedish army started constructing a castle here, but were defeated by Estonian forces on 8 August 1220, in the Battle of Lihula.[2][3]
In 1238, however, the bishop of Saare-Lääne (German: Ösel-Wiek) constructed a crusader fortress at the site, in cooperation with the Teutonic Order. This attempt was more successful and the castle became one of the residences of the bishop.[4] The Teutonic Order also used the castle as a centre of their commandry between 1241 and 1477. In 1560, the estate was reportedly granted to alderman Gerdt Bellingshausen by Duke Magnus of Holstein.[5] In the course of the Livonian War, the castle was destroyed.
Lihula manor[edit]
Despite the fact that the castle was destroyed during the Livonian War, a new manorial estate grew up right next to the original location thereafter. In the 1630s, it was recorded as the property of the Swedish general Åke Tott. The manor stayed in the Tott family until 1684, after which it belonged to various aristocratic families. The present neoclassicist manor house was built in the early 19th century.[6]
Lihula Monument[edit]
For a short period there was a monument in Lihula, honoring those Estonian soldiers who fought in the German Army against Soviet Union during World War II. By the order of prime minister Juhan Parts, the authorities removed the monument and as of June 2007, it stands in the Occupation Museum in Tallinn.

10 players Dallas Cowboys could take in first round of NFL Draft
Howard Smith/US PRESSWIRE
We're less than two weeks away from the NFL Draft and it's still extremely difficult to predict who the Dallas Cowboys will select in the first round. They need defensive line help most, but several of the top d-linemen could be off the board by the time the Cowboys are on the clock. Do they simply draft the next best end or tackle and maybe reach a little, or do they take the best player available at another position? To give you an idea of what Dallas could be looking at, Sports Day's Jon Machota lists 10 first round options for the Cowboys.

As soon as I saw this color, I picked it up because it was just the prettiest white pink but the formula on this is horrendous. I have quite a few other Essie polishes and theyre often a bit thin or streaky but non of them are to the extent that this one does. Takes a lot of time and patience to use this and for an $ 8-10 it just doesn't seem worth it.

This is one of my all-time favourite nail polishes. I really like how opaque it is and the colour is the perfect blend of a light pink and white - its definitely a girly colour. I especially like wearing this in the summer time when my skin is more tanned. I have repurchased it once already and am needing to go get another bottle for the summer!

This is a perfect colour for the summertime. It's a very opaque, creamy light pink. If you're extremely pale I don't think this colour would look very nice, but for olive toned skin tones, and deeper skin tones this nail polish will really bring out your complexion. The only con about this nail polish in general is that it takes forever to dry... I guess it's the formulation. So it's not a quick on-the-go nail polish. It takes time to apply, and plenty of time to let it dry.

This color looks nice in the bottle but it didnt look right it had a very white egg shell pink clor to it. It looked tacky. I had other light pinks in the past and this is the tackiest looking pink.

So I absolutely love nail polish. I don't own many at all, especially not any particularly expensive ones but I really enjoy the process of applying and the way they instantly make my fingers look thinner and my hands more elegant (if I choose the right colour of course, some colours look like a disaster). I work in a healthcare field which basically means I can't wear anything that makes me feel feminine on weekdays for basically the rest of my life. No hair down, no jewellery or piercings and definitely no nail polish allowed. I'm still trying to get over this. What I've learned though is that when the weekend rolls around and when I'm on holiday, it makes these things feel extra special and like a real treat. And since I can only wear nail polish so occasionally, I feel bad for splurging on nail polish.
Essie Fiji was always one I had my eye on. I've heard reviews of this being the ultimate creamy pink, but I was really put off by the price... £8 here in the UK. Not extortionate, but compared to other brands its a lot. Plus I always thought that either way as long as the colours are similar, no matter what brand it would kind of look the same on the nail anyway. I therefore decided to try Models Own Utopia and Loreal Colour Riche Peach Neglige 856. Models Own Utopia admittedly is lovely, a light creamy colour that pulls lilac and gray. But very thin and discrete on the nail, and chips easily. It was my favourite for a while. Peach Neglige I realised later is almost an exact dupe for fiji, but it never really hit the spot for me. Its a tad lighter and applies quite streaky. Looks very chalky. I still wasn't satisfied.
I therefore decided to take the plunge. I figured I had been thinking about it all this time that I need to shut my brain up! First coat, very streaky but otherwise easy to apply and achieve a thin layer. Second coat, I was blown away. Fully opaque and amazing shine, so eye-catching. Exactly what I was after. And the colour is so so flattering on me. I'm quite pale, NC20-25 and quite warm and yellow toned. It didn't make me look tanned as other people said but it certainly didn't wash me out like other almost white polishes would. But with my fake tan this colour really looked amazing too. I could only wear this nail polish for two days over the weekend but I got SO many compliments on my nails which never happens, like ever. Someone even asked me if they were gel. That's how shiny and nice they looked. Plus my hands looked a million times less chubby than they usually look - win!
So to conclude, I took a risk and it paid off. And I agree that fiji is possible one of the best cream polishes out there. (now I haven't tried many I know, but this is just so perfect that I don't feel like I need to look for any more). Now that I have one essie nail polish I want even more!! But I know I need to reign myself in a bit as the purchase isn't that justified for me. But still, one (or two) more colours couldn't hurt...

I love the colour and do not mind the formula. Two coats was all it needed. I'm surprised people saying it took up to four coats for it to be good.
I do find the application messy though. But I find this normal for essie light coloured polishes.
Price is a tad much but got on sale for $5.
The colour is so beautiful that those cons don't really matter.

I have a real love-hate relationship with this product. Lets start with the pros:
1) Multi-colour: This specific colour is advertised as being "an opaque creamy pale pink." While I agree with that, it DOES look white in some light, cream in others, and a chalky-dusty light pink in some. Personally I have no problem with this, but it makes deciding if the colour is right for your skin tone very very hard. I kind of like that this is having an identity crisis. Also, the colour is very opaque once it is completely applied.
2) Applicator: I feel like this product needs a thin brush applicator which is exactly what you get. It makes it easier to apply the product as more of it gets on the nail verses the surrounding skin.
3)Lasting power: Lasted on my nails for about 4 days which is not bad at all.
Unfortunately those are all the pros...now for the cons:
1)Formula: who let this go to mass production??? WHO? This formula stinks. And yes, I have tried the matte coat method. It takes about 4-5 layers of polish to "perfect" the colour...so that's over 3 hours of my day gone just applying polish.
2)Price: I don't want to pay $10 CAD for a nail polish...but for some reason I did (It was on sale for $6 plus I had a $2 coupon)
3)Over-hyped: I love me a nail polish that everyone adores, in fact I search for recommendations all the time. This product is just all talk no game. Maybe Essie has reformulated? Either way, it stinks.
4)Look: I'm not sure if it's just me, but I feel like your hands need to be in top condition to wear this polish. I went out into the harsh winter-cold without any moisturiser on my hands, the nail polish made my hands look about 50 years older than they are. Yes, the skin in to blame, but the polish acted as a catalyst to make them look even worse (some nail polishes just make your hands look flawless 24/7...I'm talking to you JOE FRESH- Faded Violet)
5) Formula: It's just THAT bad...I had to say it twice.
Overall: I'm glad I have this as I have nothing else like this in my collection...but I'm not repurchasing.

My all time favourite nail polish colour, I have been wearing it for at least a year. Since it takes soooo many coats for the colour to look that pastel pink I found it chips within the next day so it wasn't worth all the time you put in. I found a Sally Hansen nailpolish that still takes three coats but doesn't chip as easy and the colour is almost identical. It's the complete salon manicure line in pink a card!

Fiji is gorgeous- but it has too many drawbacks to maintain its hype.
Yes, it's the most beautiful pastel pink in the world. I admit that.
BUT: the formula is streaky as heck, the polish looks yellowy after a few days on my nails with a top coat over it? Like, ew. It's Seche Vite, supposed to be guaranteed not to yellow! It also takes like 4 coats for real opacity and I am not about waiting 3 hours for my nails to dry, no thank you.
Pass on this one. The search for the perfect pastel pink polish is still on.

I love the colour of this and as any light coloured polish does, it looks stunning against medium-dark skintones, however it is something of a nightmare to work with!
This polish applies streaky and thus takes 3 coats to become even and opaque, meaning that with a base coat and top coat it takes FOREVER to apply and is still susceptible to chipping should I accidentally let something touch my nails.
Such a beautiful colour but such a shame that the formula is so difficult to work with. I would only recommend this to those who have LOTS of patience.

Etra by Etro
Etra is a very fresh, woody-spicy oriental with a fairly sharp beginning and a mellow, but persistent drydown. I like to wear it in cool to warm weather, especially if it's a sunny day, since it really seems to incarnate a sunny disposition. Thi has good longevity on my skin, and a beautiful sillage. People often remark on smelling "something good" when I wear it, though it seems they don't know exactly where it's coming from. I don't mind, because I get to smell it wherever I go just by sniffing my wrist!

How to Make a Collaged Water Jug Bank
By: Savannah Starr
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Recycled plastic crafts are a fun and easy way to go green and save the environment. Learn how to make a Collaged Water Jug Bank from Savannah Starr using an old plastic water receptacle. Add vintage embellishments such as postcards and travel prints.
Brush Collage Pauge on to the cleaned surface of the plastic jug. Start by layering on tissue and covering the tissue with Collage Pauge. Continue to add tissue as well as magazine clippings and other ephemera. For a cool look, tear up the paper embellishments and put the back together on the surface of the jug. This makes it seem as if this jug is a found object from a bygone era. Start adding change to your jug and begin planning a fun vacation or groovy getaway!

The cosmetic aspects of
scoliosis and the braces used to treat it may greatly
affect a child or teen.
Teenagers may find wearing a brace
devastating to their self-image. Most braces should be worn for 20 hours a day
or more, usually for several years. It is very difficult to get teens to wear the brace for as many hours as their doctors recommend. They don't like how the braces look or feel.
Also, wearing a brace may limit activities such as horseback riding,
skiing, skating, and gymnastics. Other activities, though, such as biking,
tennis, running, and jumping, are safe to do while the brace is worn. It is
typically recommended that children be allowed to remove their braces to
take part in physical education classes and other highly desired activities.
This may encourage better use of the brace.
Newer braces are
designed to improve the chances they will be worn as recommended.

Trailer: SOUND CITY PLAYERS' NYC Debut Sold Out
Dave Grohl's SOUND CITY PLAYERS' February 13 extravaganza at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom has sold out. All tickets for the one-time-only NYC all-star team-up of Dave Grohl and his extended Foo Fighters and Nirvana families with Stevie Nicks, John Fogerty, Rick Springfield, Lee Ving of Fear, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick, Brad Wilk of Rage Against The Machine are now gone. The trailer is available below!
While in New York, Grohl will drop by THE COLBERT REPORT February 13 to discuss his critically and commercially successful directorial debut, and on February 14 THE SOUND CITY PLAYERS with special guest Stevie Nicks will make their network TV debut on THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN.
Having so far played two historic shows to date--one at this year's Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah and one in Los Angeles to commemorate SOUND CITY's January 31 Hollywood premiere--THE SOUND CITY PLAYERS bring to life the music created for the documentary and its accompanying SOUND CITY-REAL TO REEL album, out March 12 on Roswell/RCA. SOUND CITY-REAL TO REEL is currently available for pre-order at http://bit.ly/SoundCityiTunes, with all pre-orders immediately receiving first single "Cut Me Some Slack"-performed by Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear.
As with the two previous shows, NYC configuration of the SOUND CITY PLAYERS will also perform numerous classics from the catalogues of Stevie Nicks, John Fogerty, Rick Springfield, Fear, Cheap Trick and more, as they join Grohl and a cast of his current and former bandmates including Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Krist Novoselic, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear and other familiar faces for a once in a lifetime evening.
SOUND CITY's grassroots distribution strategy to release day and date globally as theatrical, VOD and Direct to Consumer has netted the film an impressive $1 million in just 4 days. It is available for purchase DRM-free direct from the filmmaker at http://soundcitymovie.com and through iTunes--where it shot to #1 on the Documentary charts within hours of its Worldwide release on Friday--at http://bit.ly/SoundCityiTunes. The film is also available Worldwide on demand with more than 100 operators including: Comcast, DirecTV, Time Warner Cable, Cox, Verizon FiOS, AT&T U-Verse, Amazon VOD, Google Play, Vudu, and Sony PlayStation. One night only screenings were held January 31 across the USA, Australia and New Zealand, with theatrical runs beginning February 1. See http://soundcitymovie.com for more information on how to see the film.

text: Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro benchmarked, obliterates all in its Path Stormy Beach 25 July, 2012 The talk of the town was once all about dual-core processors. While a great number of devices, especially here in the states, are still focusing on dual-core, a quad-core device is the new rage. For instance the Samsung Galaxy S III overseas and the HTC One X for example. We all know by now why they didn't make it stateside. Unlike Samsung and NVIDIA who jumped from dual to quad n a hurry, Qualcomm took their time. Knowing that dual-core was just as powerful and could use plenty of tweaking to give it some amazing performance. That would be the Qualcomm S4 we find in the U.S. variants of the S III and One X. They perform pretty darn well actually. That doesn't mean Qualcomm isn't going to bring us a quad-core chip though. Recent benchmarks of the new APQ8064 Snapdragon S4 Pro is quickly making the current competition look like dual-core processors. Take a look. The S4 out does every device and every processor currently in use. The S4 Pro won't be finding its way into any devices that a traditional consumer can purchase just yet though. With Qualcomm's continuous strive for perfection and the best possible power consumption to speed ratio's, we can't wait till they get these things in the next-gen tablets. Preferably sooner rather than later. Now, are benchmarks the best way to test a processor and are they reliable enough to formulate an opinion about? Not always. Many people have steered clear of benchmark scores simple because we have seen some that are stellar but the software and bloat slow down the performance. We are certain that the S4 Pro will be a stellar chip regardless of if these scores change and get lowered or not. Source: GSMArena and Engadget

This Space Intentionally Left Blank
New Work by Tom Loughlin
curated by Amy Cancelmo, Root Division
On view now through March 31, 2015.
Thursday, February 26th
5:30pm – 6:45pm Exclusive VIP reception for clients of R&F and their guests.
7:00pm Artist Talk with Tom Loughlin (open to the public)
7:30pm – 9:00pm Public Reception
Root Division is thrilled to partner with Rhodes & Fletcher LLC to curate Spare Change Artist Space with the work of our Studio Artists and Affiliates. Former Root Division Studio Artist, Tom Loughlin presents This Space Intentionally Left Blank, a new body of work exploring intersecting social systems in the world of financial planning. Loughlin's multi media works highlight the abstraction of financial exchange, and track the evolution of transactions that, although they have roots in basic collaborative exchanges between people, deviate largely from that original form.
Loughlin's work questions how systems are built to facilitate collaboration and collective negotiation of social landscapes. Those constructs include language, narrative, ideology, and spirituality. He is interested in the way these systems fail – not just the way they can break down, but the manner in which their proper functioning can obscure our ability to see things as they really are.

Volunteers are expected in full force Saturday, during the annual "Share the Joy" Day, to raise money in support of Special Olympics Henry County.
"We'll have our 'Share the Joy' buckets and posters out on different intersections in Henry County," said Terry Nash, coordinator of the Henry County Parks and Recreation Department's Therapeutic Division.
Nash said the 23-year-old Special Olympics Henry County Program, and its 30 volunteers, have hosted "Share the Joy" for about the past 15 years, in the one-day fund-raising effort, to supplement program costs.
"In the past, we've done fairly well that day," she said.
The money raised, Nash added, goes toward expenses incurred by the program's roughly 150 children and adults, who participate in six state competitions each year.
"We add special needs families almost weekly," Nash said. "We raise between $3,000 and $5,000 each year. That will help pay for transportation and registration to these competitions. Any donations will be welcomed, and used throughout the year."
The therapeutic coordinator noted that more than 70 athletes with Special Olympics Henry County will participate in the Special Olympics Georgia Winter Games, in Cobb County, in January.
"Special Olympics just allows athletes to compete," Nash continued. "They're doing more than just staying at home and wishing they had something to do."
Nash noted that one such athlete is 31-year-old Erin Hoffman, of McDonough, who will compete in Greece next year. "Because of her involvement in Special Olympics Henry County, she [Hoffman] is able to go to the World Games in Greece in 2011, participating in aquatics," Nash said.
She said volunteers will be at various Henry County intersections collecting donations for Special Olympics, Saturday, from 9 a.m., until 2 p.m.
To learn more about supporting, or volunteering for, Special Olympics Henry County, contact the Locust Grove Recreation Center, 10 Cleveland St., in Locust Grove, by phone at (770) 288-7290. Or visit the Henry County Parks and Recreation Department web site at www.hcprd.org.

The Zeiss DigiZoom 6-24mm T1.9 continues the long, productive relationship between Carl Zeiss Optics and professional filmmakers. Built to the company's most exacting standards, this zoom lens is designed specifically for 3-chip 2/3" digital cinema cameras to provide the sharpest low-light imagery possible. Super fast at T1.9, this compact, rugged lens has the advantage of maintaining sharpness when wide open--which means no compromises, even in low light.
Equally important to a professional production are precision and control, and the DigiZoom provides both, with its highly accurate and easy-to-read focus scales, precise back focus, and internal focus design. Able to hold the most critical focus, the lens exhibits virtually zero shifting and breathing, so image size remains the same throughout the focus range. And because the 6-24mm is super color matched to every other Zeiss DigiPrime and DigiZoom, your production can maintain uniform color characteristics from lens to lens.
- Small Wonder
- At just 9.8" (249mm), the Carl Zeiss DigiZoom is surprisingly compact and lightweight. So it's sure to fit the bill for handheld, remote and Steadicam work. Featuring all the standard cine-style accouterments--and then some--this zoom lens is equally advantageous in a studio situation, fully outfitted with cine mattebox, bridgeplate, as well as focus, zoom, and iris motors.
- Common Advantages
- For easy use and optimal compatibility with cine lens accessories, the 4x optic offers industry-standard pitch integral zoom, focus and iris gears, and brightly marked oversized windowed cine scales that are readable from either side of the lens. Focus scales are individually calibrated to each lens for pinpoint accuracy; and, like the rest of the family, the Carl Zeiss DigiZoom features a 95mm front diameter.
- Precision Back Focus
- It was DigiPrime lenses that set a new standard for precision back-focus alignment. So it is no surprise that the 4x zoom employs the ZEISS proprietary back-focus mechanism to ensure accurately maintained focus scale calibration across the focusing range. The zoom is fully compatible with the ZEISS Sharp Max Universal Back-Focus Alignment device.
- Internal Focusing Design & Close Focusing
- This innovative zoom employs the Carl Zeiss Internal Focusing Design to ensure top performance--center to corner--over the entire focus and zoom range, a consistent center of gravity, minimum balance shift, and no breathing. What's more, like most Zeiss DigiPrime lenses, the 6-24mm zoom focuses to just 22" from the image plane. That's a close-focusing 11" from the front of the lens. ZEISS DigiZoom uniquely offers the ability to focus tightly on objects as small as 66mm x 117mm. So even objects as small as a business card can fill the frame in precise focus.
- 9-Blade Iris
- Both ZEISS DigiZoom and DigiPrime lenses utilize the same innovative iris design for unequaled performance, free from lag, slop, or backlash.
- Lowlight Friendly
- The 6-24mm zoom offers numerous advantages for film-style productions. Like DigiPrime lenses, the zoom has been engineered for optimum performance in low light situations with the aperture fully open. The Carl Zeiss design provides unsurpassed contrast control by minimizing flare, veiling glare, and internal reflections--well below other lenses. It also offers superior relative illumination and high resolution over the entire screen edge-to-edge, throughout the focal range. Users will appreciate that the ZEISS DigiZoom does not ramp.
- Perfect Color Match
- For exceptional color characteristics, Carl Zeiss carefully selects superior quality optical glass, then applies proprietary coatings. Naturally, ZEISS engineers have designed the 4x zoom to accurately color match and seamlessly intercut images made with the DigiPrime family.
