General Chair, ISAP2012
As you know, the Tohoku area of Japan was struck by the devastating earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. We pray for all the victims and injured people in the area and would like to express our deepest sympathy and condolences. Also, we would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to many encouraging messages those we received from all over the world.
On behalf of the steering committee, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to attend the 2012 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP2012) to be held at Nagoya Congress Center in Nagoya, Japan, from October 29 (Monday) through November 2 (Friday), 2012.
This Symposium, the 17th ISAP, will return to Japan after ISAP2007. ISAP2012 is sponsored and organized by the Communications Society of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE), and is held in cooperation with the Antennas and Propagation Society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE/AP-S), the International Union of Radio Science (URSI), the Antennas and Propagation Network of the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP), the Korean Institute of Electromagnetic Engineering and Science (KIEES), the China Institute of Communications (CIC), and the Electrical Engineering/Electronics, Computer, Communications and Information Technology Association of Thailand (ECTI). The Antenna Society of the Chinese Institute of Electronics (CIE) is under discussion.
Today we have three major international conferences in Antennas and Propagation in the world, namely, IEEE AP-S International Symposium and USNC/URSI National Radio Science Meeting in North America, European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP) in Europe, and ISAP in Asia-Pacific region.
ISAP2012 will be held in Nagoya City. Nagoya, the fourth largest city in Japan with a population of 2.2 million, is situated at the central Japan and has good transportation from major cities in Japan and in the world. It is a city with strong cultural, historical and industrial identity. Nagoya is about 450 km away from the nuclear plant in Fukushima. Fortunately Nagoya has no damage by the earthquake in last March and no radiation effect from the nuclear plant.
We are sure ISAP2012 will be beneficial and fruitful to all the participants, and you will enjoy the city of Nagoya. We are looking forward to meeting you in Nagoya, Japan in October/November 2012.
Prof. Koichi Ito
General Chair, ISAP2012

I had a tough pregnancy and gained A LOT of weight. I'm still about 25 lbs. over where I was when I got pregnant, and I'm 4.5 months post partum!
Sigh. Right before I got pregnant I reached some major fitness goals - ran my first 5k and was aiming for a 10k, and was getting good at yoga. It took me years to get into such good shape!
I bought a great wardrobe too, which of course, none of it fits me now. :(
I walk a lot now with little one and try to run, but it seems that I pay for every day of running with a few days of exhaustion and hunger. Even a good long walk really wears me out.
I feel like I'm back to the point where I was five years ago. However, I love my LO and am so happy she's health.
Tell me, mamas, does it get better?

Decision on Virginia Anti-ObamaCare Lawsuit Expected Monday
Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has said he expects to have a decision on Monday on his state's lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the national health care law's individual mandate.
The Virginia suit is one of the two main legal challenges to ObamaCare, the other one is led by Florida and involves 19 other states.
"We have been advised by the court that we will get a ruling on HC midday on Monday," Cuccinelli wrote on Twitter. "Stay tuned!"
Opponents of ObamaCare have been hopeful, because in his August ruling allowing the case to proceed, U.S. District Court Judge Henry Hudson, an appointee of George W. Bush, embraced the argument that ObamaCare represents a novel use of the Commerce Clause that has yet to be considered by the courts.

|A model for non-image area of offset lithographic process
|Chhajlani, Vinay
|Lithography is the most common printing process. However, very little is known about the theory of lithography. Pressroom practices have evolved more out of experience than on the basis of any theory. The objective of this paper is to develop a mathematical model for the non-image area of the offset lithographic plate. A model of this kind would provide a rationalization for the observed behavior in lithographic process. The study concentrates on the various materials and the phenomena involved. Properties of aluminum oxide surface and gum arabic that make them suitable for the process have been presented. Rheological properties of ink have been discussed to show their effect on the print quality. Most importantly the subject of surface energetics has been used to explain the interfacial behavior of the three phases involved - ink, fountain solution and plate surface. The study of the interfacial behavior helps in arriving at the final model. There are several phenomena taking place in making lithography work. Adsorption of gum arabic, wetting of the plate by fountain solution and film splitting at the nip exit are explained and the interrelationship between them derived. Surface energetic equations and Griffith's free energy for fracture have been used to present the final model for the system. The model as proposed in this paper gives a deeper insight into the lithographic process and helps- in understanding the reasons for the printing aberrations. There is a need to model other aspects of the process and design methods to test them so as to help in development of better equipment and standard practices for lithography.

Kopi luwak
"Kopi" the Indonesian word for coffee along with "luwak" is local name of this animal which eats the raw red coffee beans. The civet digests the soft outer part of the coffee cherry, but does not digest the inner beans and excretes them.Apparently the internal digestion ends up adds a unique flavor to the beans, removing the bitter flavor, and then beans are then picked up by locals and sold.
The most expensive coffee in the world, selling for between US$100 and $600 per pound. The specialty Vietnamese weasel coffee, is sold at $$3,000 per pound. If you can get over the fact that you are drinking such a strange brew.
Kopi luwak is produced mainly on Indonesian. It is also produced in Philippines and Vietnam has 2 farms with 300 wild civets. The farmers collect the coffee seeds and produce only 300 kg. (661 pounds). per year of authentic Vietnamese chon coffee.

Although winter is a tough time for Gourmet Food Trucks we still get out there on the street to serve our creations!

We all need great food regardless of the weather so, Manna from Heaven and several other trucks on Food Truck Row will keep serving our fans and visitors all year round.
Sure, the temperature will drop, we will have issues with frozen pipes and slippery roads but, we will be there to serve hot meals at various locations throughout the front range.
Keep an eye out, we have HEATERS for our hungry fans while you look at our menu or wait for your order. Be not afraid, we don't give up – neither should you.
Food Truck Row will be in effect at various locations such as:
Toys R Us at Park Meadows– near County Line & Chester St (9505 E County Line Rd, Englewood, CO 80112)

1-2 Saturdays each month from 11am-2pm
Colorado Railroad Museum – near Golden Freeway 58 & I-70 (17155 West 44th Avenue Golden, CO 80403)

Food Truck Row — The Food
We at The Sesame Seed like to eat. And with all these great food trucks from the row in our midst, we have sure eaten a lot of fantastic food. We've decided to do a little feature on the food we've sampled thus far from these awesome trucks. We've included pictures where possible. Other times, our stomachs simply beat us to it.
Our favorite thus far is this veggie pizza. The walnuts were fantastic on this pie. It may not be on the regular menu. Put in a special request!
Picking your favorite dog is like picking your favorite child. You don't want to do it to make the others feel bad but you secretly do have a favorite. Ours is the elk jalapeno cheddar. Shhh don't tell the others.
Real crab in Colorado? That's right matey. The huge bite marks indicate this sandwich's deliciousness.
Triple chocolate and oreo cookie are enough to send anyone into euphoria but it was the coffee toffee something or other that put us over the top.
This slow cooked goodness saved us one fateful afternoon when we were stranded on the side of the road with our busted truck waiting to be towed.
The thing we sometimes find with cupcakes is bakers focus so much on the icing that they forget about the actual cake. Not the case with these guys. Every single cupcake we've had from them has been perfectly moist.
GIGI's CUPCAKES
On St. Patty's Day, we watched hundreds of people walk by with their cupcakes before we finally got to sink our teethes into some. That mile high icing was insane. Still get sugar rushes thinking about it.
What is a gourmet PB&J you ask? Peaches & Cream up top = almond butter + peach preserves + cream cheese + granola + real peach slices. Barcelona down below = almond butter + date jam + manchego + bacon + onions. Enough said.
We had to look up the definition for gastronomic. Note to self: gastronomic delight = good eating = jerk pulled pork sliders + banana fritters.
We have eaten many a banh mi stuffed with deliciously marinated meats and veggies and perfectly crisp potstickers but do not have a single picture to show for any of them. We have pictures of smoothies and cake balls. Don't get us wrong, those were terrific, but there's a reason they're known for the other stuff. Maybe next time we'll pull out the camera before we start stuffing our faces.
Holy guacamole the lengua tacos are off the hook.
Shrimp po boy? Yes, please. The critters they use are huge and juicy.
Taiwanese people often like to use slightly sweet buns for burgers/sandwiches and this pulled pork sandwich from N.Z.'s brought us back to those good times. The hand-cut fries (literally hand cut — knife + cutting board + one whole ginormous potato) were phenomenal.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and you can get all your favorite bfast fixins in this concoction known as the F bomb. Beware, this one isn't for the faint of heart.
The best Argentinean cheesesteak — it ain't no lie! The grilled steak and veggies combined with pepper jack and chimichurri on that crisp baguette was a party in our mouths.
We have consumed more liquids from this truck than we'd like to admit. Their frozen drinks have saved us from dehydration on more than one occasion. Our favorites include the pueblo mocha granita and any smoothie (pineapple mango, four berry, peach apricot, strawberry limeade — all good).
If we were to turn vegan, we would do it for Planet Rock. Not quite ready to make that move yet though. We are from Texas after all where meat is the only food group.

Posts Tagged 'custom'
I'm well aware of the marvel that is Etsy, yet sometimes I find it overwhelming to dive in and try and sort out the jewels from the... non-jewels. So, today I was thrilled to see so many fun finds featured in Etsy's November shopping guide. I literally giggled out loud in my cubicle when I saw yummypocket's felt Etch a Sketch iPhone cozy. It made me nostalgic for the times when the most stressful part of my day was battling with those little white dials in an effort to sketch a house or a princess.
I was also quite taken with cozyblue's custom heart tree pillow cover. The red embroidered heart is "carved" into the tree trunk with your initials, making it a perfect wedding or anniversary present.
Happy November!
Stop by the Tobyboo shop for the cutest kids creations (they be customized too)! Name art, toy storage, tooth pockets (for the tooth fairy), and baby hair keepsakes are among some of the pieces you will find there. My favorite piece? This hand-sewn fabric love letter. Can you imagine sending this to someone you love? So Special. Visit Tobyboo.
Swak by Sarah has some really unique jewelry pieces. Like this firefly necklace. But my favorite piece is this custom Little Artist pendant. You can actually have your child's artwork made into a piece of jewelry. I love this idea! Visit Swak by Sarah for more info.
Earlier in the week, Holly of Decor8 posted about her new business cards (which are absolutely lovely) and it got me thinking about my own business cards. As I was searching around, one of the shops I looked at was Happygirl Greetings. Laura Beth's vintage-modern fusion is quite sweet. Wouldn't these be cute for a vintage shop owner? And very affordable I might add...a set of 50 custom cards start as low as $12.50! Visit Laura Beth's shop, Happygirl Greetings for more info.

Castles of the Sea
Children so carefree
Laugh while castles made of sand
Topple in the sea…
How soon shattered dreams may bring
Teardrops of maturity.

Being bipolar
is like a rose born missing
some of its petals,--
its color is more vibrant
than all the other roses'!
It may never be
part of a "perfect" bouquet,--
but its rich pigment
can be a precious paint for
Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa."
Alas, it may not
attract the most "honeybees"
in the wilds of life,--
but its petals can be crushed
to make the finest perfumes.
Being bipolar
is like a rose born missing
some of its petals,--
its bouquet is more fragrant
than all the other roses'!

Interview with W. Kamau Bell conducted by Ron Placone on the Indie Bohemians Morning Show. A morning show, for people who hate morning shows.
Ron gets to catch up with W. Kamau Bell. Bell will be in Nashville on January 10 at the Exit/In. Show starts at 6pm. From his website: Socio-political comedian W. Kamau Bell has emerged as the post-modern voice of comedy. Kamau was recently named an Ambassador of Racial Justice by the ACLU. And he sits on the advisory board of Race Forward, a racial justice think tank and home for media and activism, and Hollaback, a non-profit and movement to end street harassment. Kamau is best known for his critically acclaimed, but criminally short-lived FX comedy series, Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell. The New York Times called Kamau "the most promising new talent in political comedy in many years." In this interview Bell and Ron talk race relations and law enforcement, the television industry and why Bell turned down an opportunity to appear on Geraldo.… Read the rest

I have a terrible habit of picking at the skin surrounding my nails and the cuticles as well. I get my fingers to a point where they bleed, scab, and look absolutely horrible. The skin becomes very hard, flaky, and cracked. I saw this product in a YouTube video and thought I'd try it out. For me it works wonders. I apply it a couple of times a day and within a week my fingers look like I'd never picked them. I also really love the fresh lemon scent and the consistency - it's not too greasy and dries quickly. It's about $10CDN but definitely worth it because it lasts for ages and you only need to use a small amount. I'd safely say that one tin would last up to a year. The only problem I have with it is the packaging - I would prefer it if it had a twist off lid but that's it - I swear by this product, I recommend it to everyone, and I will continue buying it.

Im not sure if this product is working. A few weeks ago I realized my nailbeds need a lot of help, so i pay extra attention to my hands now, and am using this. i will say this: i enjoy the scent and since it's a bit greasy, i wind up rubbing it on my hands while im putting it on.
Nailbeds are retaining their okay-ness. Nails look the same. Not sure what was supposed to happen, but at least nothing bad did?
Not sure if I'm gonna buy again

Skin: Dry, Olive, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium

This cuticle cream has earned its spot as a staple in my regimen. I put it on before i go to bed, as it IS very greasy. The packaging is both perfect for a purse, but its also a bit difficult to open. I'll manage.

Great cuticle repair salve. I use this at night (too greasy for day time use) on my dry and snagged cuticles (I pick at them *sigh* bad habit)...
packaging is transportable, but because it's such a greasy product, i recommend only using at night. Also, one time I bought a tin that wouldn't even open! so tricky.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Oily, Medium, Not Sure

Great product. It really smooths your cuticles.
Only drawbacks are its smell (personal opinion, lemon scent is not that great) and it's really greasy. :/
Anyways, it still gets the job done and leaves your nails looking pretty!

Skin: Sensitive, Tan, Not Sure

This is the best cuticle cream ever! It comes in a cute little tin that is easy to open. Upon opening a delicious smell wafts from the tin.
This product has really strengthened my nails from excess nail polish use! I applied this to all my finger nails one night before I went to bed by next morning my nails were already harder and stronger and shinier. This could be a HG product for the nails! ;)

Really expensive :(
- moisturizes the cuticles well and takes care of them
- smells like pure lemon (good in my opinion :D )
- too much money
- so greasy and rubs off on anything touched after
- so smalllllllll
- works same as oil on cuticle ....?
not worth it unless u wanna pamper and buy for no reason at all :P
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool

I purchased this during a winter holiday in New York. The cold air really dried out my skin and for the first time in my life, my cuticles needed attention. I used it during the month of December, then returned to sunny South Africa and pretty much stopped using it.
I suppose that it works, it moisturizes fairly well and it did solve my cuticle issues. However, it smells like dishwashing liquid and it makes my hands and fingers greasy. I don't feel as though it absorbs into the skin, it just creates a film on top. After using it, I don't want to touch anything else, in case I leave greasy fingerprints behind. I also find the tin very difficult to open.
Since I find it unpleasant to use, I wouldn't repurchase it.

I love this! I have bitten my nails for years and a while ago I decided that I was finally going to stop. When my nails started to grow they were really thin and dry and weak, no surprise really.
I wanted something to nourish and strengthen then and I got all of that in this great little tin. I was slightly put off by the tin as the Vaseline tins are impossible for me to open but no such worry with this one. The lid just slides of easily.
My nails are now in a much better condition and I will continue to use. I try to use morning and night but in the mad morning rush I usually forget but I always use before bed.

The UN General Assembly today concluded a two-day High-Level Meeting to address the epidemic of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), including cancer, heart disease, diabetes and chronic lung disease. The meeting was called to address the growing burden of these diseases, which are the world's leading killers and will continue to be without combined efforts of our global leadership and medical communities.
ASCO strongly supports the Political Declaration unanimously adopted at the Meeting by Member States as a powerful demonstration of commitment by countries around the world to reverse the epidemic of cancer and other NCDs, and save millions of people from preventable death and disability. The Declaration contains an agreement to establish specific targets by 2012 for combatting NCDs and a mechanism for measuring progress towards those targets. In addition, the Declaration includes commitments to increase access to safe, affordable, effective and quality medicines and palliative care services, and calls for increased resources for NCDs through domestic, bilateral and multilateral channels.
In remarks delivered by world leaders attending the High-Level Meeting and in subsequent roundtable discussions, there was universal acknowledgment that NCDs pose a critical global health threat to which the world's response has to date been inadequate. Today, an estimated 63 percent of all deaths are due to NCDs, and 80 percent of these deaths occur in less developed countries.
If the world does not act, the impact on developed and less developed countries alike could be catastrophic. Beyond the suffering that these diseases inflict on the patients, their families and communities, there is a very real economic threat. According to the World Economic Forum, NCDs could cost $47 trillion in lost productivity and medical costs over the next two decades.
"For many years ASCO has been aware of this growing issue, particularly as it relates to cancer, and we are glad to see it recognized by our world leaders," said Allen Lichter, MD, CEO of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). "The Political Declaration on NCDs is of enormous importance to the cancer community and organizations like ASCO in particular. We look forward to establishment of the Declaration targets and identifying opportunities to match our ongoing efforts against them."
Dr. Lichter is available to offer insight into the significance of the Political Declaration and ASCO's global initiatives. To schedule an interview, please contact Susie Tappouni at 571-483-1355 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Declining gas prices may increase holiday spending this year according to a new national survey measuring consumer optimism.
Global consumer confidence edged up one index point in the third quarter to a score of 98 — an increase of one point from the previous quarter and two points from the start of the year.
Instant.ly, an on-demand consumer insights platform, on Tuesday debuted the Instant.ly Shelf Score, an index that measures consumer intent to purchase new consumer packaged goods.
Global consumer confidence held steady at an index of 94 for three consecutive quarters, ending 2013 one point higher than it started and three points higher than the same time period the previous year, according to consumer confidence findings released by Nielsen.
According to IRI's Q3 2013 MarketPulse survey results released Tuesday, 85% of American consumers were aware of the looming debt ceiling crisis and of the government shutdown, which is clearly impacting their views of their personal finances, including their approach to grocery shopping.
Retail sales were down slightly in October on a month-to-month basis while increasing on an annual basis, reflecting Hurricane Sandy and uncertainty in Washington, according to the National Retail Federation.
According to Nielsen analyses issued Thursday, higher consumer confidence levels, increased impulse buying and consumer intent to spend more could all lead to an upside surprise in 2012 holiday spending.
Consumer sentiment declined more than six points for the month of June, according to the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's final index.
Consumer sentiment toward the economy continues to be negative, acknowledged David Dillon, Kroger chairman and CEO, a factor that may drive many consumers toward more of the value-driven store brands in which Kroger is investing.
Consumer Reports announced that its index, which measures overall consumer sentiment, fell to its lowest level since December 2009 and registered its sharpest drop in two years, as recent events in Washington about the debt ceiling debate fixed attention on the weak economy.
Happy days are here again! Consumer confidence rebounded 1.6 points in April from a dip in March, according to the Consumer Confidence Index, despite the fact that high-gas-price stories are dominating the airwaves. That suggests consumers may be willing to try new things again — in other words, to buy something new — and that is excellent news for niche manufacturers. In this annual report, DSN calculates the value of niche brands.
The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index reached 70.4 in February, a three-year high from February 2008, thanks to growing optimism about the short-term future.
The Conference Board said Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index reached its highest level in eight months as Americans grew more optimistic about the job market.
A new consumer study underscored the role affluent consumers play in driving the economy toward...
It just might be a happy holiday after all! At least, that's the conclusion one...

I promised that I was going to give fans more of a glimpse behind the curtain and a say in what I publish next. It's a win-win situation. You get to read something that you're already invested in, and I have some much needed help in focusing my writing energies. (See my previous post on Way More Ideas Than Time.)
To set this up, I asked fans in the Paranormal Parlor and on my Facebook fan page to vote for their top 3 favorite images from an article I found with pictures of 27 eerie abandoned places around the world. You can see the winning images from that round of voting below.
What happens next is I'm going to write the first 1000 words on each one of these stories. Since I do need to plot these out at least a little bit before I write them, I'll share a few more details (title, planned length, genre) so that readers can vote through comments here, on FB, Twitter, etc. The picture with the most votes is the next thing I'm going to write. But don't worry if your favorite is one of the two stories that doesn't win- if I've got an outline, I will write that story at some point in the future.
So without further ado, here are the winning pictures:
An abandoned church with parishioners that still linger (Netherlands)
An abandoned jetty
An abandoned house in the forest

FastCGI mode is known to be a fast and secure way to run PHP on your server... FastCGI is also preferred compared to mod_php as it allows websites to execute with the user's permissions (like with suPHP) and as some claim, it's also faster than mod_php.
If you want to re-build your server with FastCGI, you can grab a ready-made profile to upload and use in WHM: http://engintron.com/files/cpanel/engintron.dtd
Please keep in mind that APCu (not APC) is currently impossible to install via WHM (under Software >> Module Installers >> PHP PECL) because APCu is in PECL's beta channel and cPanel will freak out. APC will simply not work with PHP 5.4+. So you're left in the cold with WHM :)
Now, assuming you have PHP in FastCGI mode running on your WHM/cPanel (version 11.48+) based server, here are the steps to install APC (APCu to be exact, the newer variant for PHP 5.4+) on your server:
1. Install packagesLogin via SSH as "root" user on your cPanel server and execute the following commands:
$ yum install pcre-devel
$ pecl install apcu-beta
Restart Apache via WHM
2. Edit php.iniNow edit the master php.ini file of the server - usually located in /usr/local/lib/php.ini - to add a couple of configuration options for APCu. Open the file (either with some editor like Coda or via "nano" or "vim") and append these lines at the very bottom of the php.ini file:
apc.enabled = 1
apc.shm_size = 256M
Restart Apache via WHM.
3. Adjust settings for APCuIf you wish to adjust the APCu values above, you can now do so via "PHP Configuration Editor" in WHM, after selecting the "Advanced Mode" editing option. These 2 values will be at the very top. APCu has a lot more options but "apc.shm_size" is obviously the most critical as it defines the memory pool to hold all cache objects coming from your CMS (Joomla, WordPress etc.).
Remember that whenever your edit your PHP's configuration, you need to restart Apache for the changes to take effect.
What next?Wanna go the extra mile and do more to improve your cPanel server's performance, besides the FastCGI setup and APCu? You can obviously optimize your Apache, FastCGI & MySQL configurations:
- For Apache, you can have a look at MediaTemple's knowledge base: http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/246/Making+it+Better%3A+Basic+Apache+performance+tuning+%28httpd%29#dv - this article provides some insight on optimal Apache resource configuration based on your CPU count and available RAM. For example:
StartServers 10
MinSpareServers 10
MaxSpareServers 25
ServerLimit 256
MaxClients 200
MaxRequestsPerChild 4000
KeepAliveTimeout 2
Timeout 20
In cPanel, these Apache directives can be configured in "Apache Configuration" (in WHM).
- For MySQL have a look at this bulletproof configuration we created with the help of Percona (the MySQL experts) a few years ago: http://engintron.com/files/etc/my.cnf - the file to edit is: /etc/my.cnf
- For FastCGI/PHP have a look here: http://2bits.com/articles/apache-fcgid-acceptable-performance-and-better-resource-utilization.html - the file to edit in cPanel is: /usr/local/apache/conf/php.conf
After you edit this file in cPanel, you need to "merge" your changes with cPanel so they state there when cPanel get's updated. To do this, execute the following commands as root via SSH:
Distill and rebuild Apache, then restart Apache. Run these commands:
$ /usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update
$ /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf
$ service httpd restart
That's all folks!

Ireland Baldwin Is Why Kim Basinger Should Never Stop Having Children Even If She's Almost 60

See what happens when daddy calls you a pig? Motivation. Not a bad thing.
I know I'm hard for her.
I truly have something hard for her myself.
poop comes out from there.
What a POA.
…and not yet 18 year, btw Mike..
who cares. 17 is close enough.
Asshole isn't going to be any different.
I googled Ireland, and I see she inherited lots of her dad's douchebag face.
The fucking Baldwins have strong genes.
When Ireland smiles, she looks as goofy as Stephen Baldwin.
She's a poser. I have low standards though. I'm not gay either.
The anti-Rumer.
She looks like any girl at the mall but her parents are famous that's all :P
Nothing to See here; Move along
I'd love to pork that thoughtless little pig. And then cum on the hair of her chinny-chin-chin.
I heard that this young beauty was named Ireland because that's where she was conceived. Now I'm hearing that Alec and Hilaria want to follow the tradition by naming their pending offspring "Broom Closet."
You're all idiots. She's adopted.
let's invade Ireland

Low-income Sacramento residents can obtain free comprehensive eye exams and glasses during a Community Health and Wellness Fair on Sunday at California State University, Sacramento.
VSP Vision Care is teaming up with the student-run Hmong Health Alliance to provide the services aboard a 45-foot-long mobile eye care clinic.
Gift certificates redeemable for free eye exams and glasses may be distributed to those who can't be seen at the event, which is open to the public on a walk-in basis.
The vision services and certificates are available for people who do not have vision insurance – including Medi-Cal or Medicare coverage – and who meet certain income criteria.
The Hmong Health Alliance is a student organization at CSUS that aims to improve health through prevention and early awareness.
The health fair will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the University Union Redwood Room at the campus, 6000 J St.
Eye exams are important not only for ocular health but because they can also be a way to detect conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Oh man... it's finally time to watch the trailer! GO NOW! WATCH!
Posted by Generalvivi on Feb 7th, 2011
Trailer day is a wonderful day in a mods life when it gets to prance around and express itself. Today Chell's Legend comes before you as a small and humble mod with high hopes. In this trailer I present to you Part 1 of Chell's Legend, I'm not quite sure how many parts there will be but whatever it takes to tell the story!
I've been working diligently on the project In hopes to get it finished before Portal 2. Most of my work recently has been on the story. Both Gameplay and Graphicsplay* are important to me and I want to make sure I hit quality over quantity.
The trailer you are about to watch (or skipped forward and watched already) was constructed by Fearlezz. He is a talented mapper currently working on Factum Solus which can be found on Moddb and Desura.
Currently I'm looking for 1 animator to join my team to help me finish / polish up a few of my sequences. You need to be dedicated and experienced enough to handle things on your own. You will not be required to compile your animations for the source engine (I already have everything setup). If you are interested and are an animator please read the requirements below and then send me an email at generalvivi[at]ChellsLegend.com with your contact info / portfolio link (if you have one)
programs -
- 3ds max 7 or higher
experience -
- Animation experience in 3ds max (1 year or greater)
- must be able to show previous work

*This is a made up bs word that I hope will catch on in the industry much like gameplay did.
Nice work so far man. :D -tracked-
You sir are awesome.. If I could track you... I would <3
I don't know if I understand the new term. Would you say that the Dead Space series has good graphicsplay? Surely it has good graphics, but graphicsplay? And what other series do you think has good graphicsplay?
Ha! Dunno man, it's up to you to decide what that term means to you :P. Someone at my work came up with it one day :P
I've been following this...I am very excite.
That was pretty slick, can't wait to play the game!
Very nice work! This is going really COOL. Like it very much.
Keep up the good work.
finally some custom content. im kind of sick of the 2 textured mods for portal.
Yay for a unique visual appearance!
Obligatory tracking comment.
Obligatory Thanking comment!
Great music in the trailer !
I'll be sure to pass the nice comment along to CosmicDreamer :)
You viv, are an impenetrable force of greatness! This looks great! Can't wait to try it =)
Great work.
Yo yo Gdor! Long time no see :D
Sure is! Great to see some updates from this. Still working for raven?
Really impressive level design. I worked with hammer for many years but i must say this is really nice, great attention to detail in the levels and the game play looks really interesting. Tracking you guys.
Thanks! I appreciate it! :)
Looks awesome, 'specially the red/gray colors, although I was planning that for my own mod awhile back.
I guess I'll just find some different colors....
But still, awesome mod.
I recommend you set a high release date (EX: A few days before Portal 2) , something you can mange easily, and if you have no delays, can make people happy by releasing it earlier then you said. And if you're late, no harm, you'll still have that extra time.
Wow! Looks original! Very nice architecture, very nice textures! I'm salivating :)
*sending Aperture droid to clean up saliva off the floor*
"Your business is appreciated."
Amazing! Awesome gene detected in the vicinity of this mod!
You're awesome ... *fist forms into thumbs up*
i hope you somehow put glados in this
I'm sorry to say Glad Os is not in this mod : / but there are a lot of other things :D! * rejoice *
Thought the mod was dead, guess not :D
Ok, this trailer almost made me faint because the mod looks so aweosme. Good job! :D
Feel free to pass out, an intubation associate will be dispatched to revive you with peptic cell, and adrenaline...
LOL, I love that line :)
can be good mod i hope its not to diffcult from beginning

This season, Manhattan-based fashion house and luxury retailer Opening Ceremony have joined forces with Adidas Originals to create a limited edition capsule collection. Opening Ceremony have taken a typically directional approach, combining elements of modern swimwear and cycling apparel, and infusing the collection with a nostalgic 90's street fashion influence. The Dress Rubber is a twist on the classic American saddle shoe, with a paisley-patterned insole visible through uppers made from a translucent rubber material reminiscent of the 'jelly' shoes often worn for scrambling through rockpools or along shallow river beds.

Indian banks have assured Fortis Healthcare they would give USD 2 billion the hospital chain may need for a takeover battle for Singapore's Parkway Holdings, the Economic Times reported on Monday.
Singapore's securities regulator has given Fortis until July 30 to say whether it intends to make a full offer for hospital operator Parkway, the subject of a partial takeover bid by Malaysian sovereign fund Khazanah.
Fortis, which already holds roughly 25% of Parkway, will have to offer over USD 2.3 billion to buy the rest of it.
Lenders such as State Bank of India, Axis Bank, Punjab National Bank and Yes Bank have given their "in-principle" commitment for the loan, the Economic Times said, citing a person close to the matter.
Citing an unnamed Yes Bank executive, the newspaper said, the private lender had committed Rs 500 crore (USD108 million) to Fortis if the Indian firm decides to place a counter bid for Parkway Holdings.
Officials at Fortis and the banks could not immediately be reached by Reuters for comment.
Fortis had wanted to build a controlling stake in the Singapore company before Khazanah made a surprise USD 835 million offer last month to lift its stake from 23.5% to 51.5%.
Fortis Health stock price
On November 30, 2015, Fortis Healthcare closed at Rs 165.75, up Rs 4.85, or 3.01 percent. The 52-week high of the share was Rs 199.20 and the 52-week low was Rs 100.50.
The latest book value of the company is Rs 79.46 per share. At current value, the price-to-book value of the company was 2.09.

The UK is lagging behind its peers in enabling tablet use among senior executives, according to a new survey commissioned by networking firm Cisco.
The survey, which was conducted by Redshift Research and took results from 1,500 IT managers and executives in the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany and Spain, revealed that while 38 per cent of senior executives in the US are given tablet devices at work, that figure is 21 per cent in the UK.
The UK topped the league table in wanting to restrict access to applications, with 56 per cent responding that this would be their policy, compared with 48 per cent overall.
Tom Puorro, director of product management, IPCBU, Cisco Systems, said that security fears would remain this year, but companies will continue to explore the benefits of enabling mobile technologies.
"Mobile workers and virtual workspaces are here to stay. But so are the demands on IT to continue to ensure enterprise-grade security, manageability and interoperability.
"2012 promises to be an exciting year and IT leaders are a critical component in unleashing innovation and enabling organisations to take advantage of the next wave of business growth and opportunity."
The survey also revealed that three-quarters of IT managers consider email and document-sharing as essential in a mobile device.
About half agreed or strongly agreed that video conferencing, instant messaging, access to company databases and synchronisation with other business devices are desirable, as opposed to necessary.
However, 48 per cent of companies responded that they would never allow employees to bring and use their own devices at work, preferring to issue and control them themselves.

I am on a diet that has me eating very little bulk. This has made my digesting any products a lot more slower. This tea makes it possible to keep things moving along, so to speak. LOL! It is quite tasty! This tea has more of a delicate effect, which is nice compared to some of the other diet teas out there. Bottom line, try this tea. You will not be disappointed! Happy New Year!

Sublimely Comfortable Eco-friendly bed
An eco-friendly bed manufactured in Spain. Super plush, comfortable, the memory foam makes it feel like you're back is supported while floating on clouds.Read More
Purchased Jan 2013. Still amazing!!!
I love this bed! It has been a dream come true for restful sleep. I thought it was too firm at first but now I see it has just the right amount of firmness. I was just use to sleeping on marshmallows before. I weigh 150 and my BF is 180 and the mattress shows no signs of stress. Very comfortable.Read More
Terrible durability
Purchased this mattress in Nov. of 2012 and have slept on it since. It was fairly comfortable at first (not stellar by any means), and didn't have any offensive odor, but the comfort of this mattress rapidly deteriorated. I'm predominately a side sleeper, and previous bargain-basement memory foam beds provided me with a better sleep, less tossing and turning, and much better durability. For months my husband has complained about waking up with aches and pains, as well as numbness/tingling in his hands. I've started waking up with terrible back aches, and I don't have back problems. We are replacing it, and it's going to the dump - no way would I subject my house guests to the awful nights sleep this mattress now provides. Worst mattress purchase ever.Read More
Love this mattress!
I love this mattress! Spaldin is awesome! It is beautifully packaged and so comfortable.Read More
Comfortable, but smelly
We were very excited to try a foam mattress that is a little greener than the average memory foam mattress. We had considered latex mattresses but decided this was a better choice for our budget. The mattress was easy to unpack and was very comfortable within an hour or two. My husband and I are both very sensitive to smell and felt like it had a strong chemical odor, much more than we were expecting. It sat in our house airing out for 2 weeks and it still had a smell. We put it outside on a windy, sunny day and started sleeping on it after that. It still has a bit of a smell but hoping it will fade with time. Like I said, we are both pretty sensitive, so it may not bother the average person. The bed is very comfortable and provides good support. If the smell goes away I would give it 5 stars.Read More
Loving it so far...No odor,fabulous cover.
Very comparable to other memory foam mattresses with two BIG improvements. They actually have the OEKO-TEX 100 certification - which means it has been tested to be safe for babies and children in terms of VOC emissions. This is the ONLY memory foam mattress I could find with this strict certification. I have a 9 year old sleeping on this nightly, so it was a huge concern. It is made in Spain, which I liked as well. Compared to our other memory foam mattress (which has the Certi-Pur certification) it did not smell AT ALL after a few days. We made sure to air it out well and push around on the foam for a few days and there is no odor. Our other mattress still smelled when you pulled down the covers even months later. LOVE IT. Also,it has a very nice organic cotton cover which is very well made and super comfortable . We've had larger guests sleep on it as well and they said it was very comfortable. We think so too. We will be purchasing more of these mattresses.Read More
Awesome mattress!
I did a lot research before purchasing a foam mattress. I discovered that many (even the very expensive ones) off-gas terribly and have been linked to health problems. This a great, contentious company who really cares about putting out a quaility product. The matress came vacuum sealed and had no smell right out of the package. It's in our guest bedroom and all our guest have raved about how great it feel. So much so that we are moving into our room to become our main mattress!Read More
Awesome bed
I purchased this bed from the few reviews I could find and after looking into Spaldin myself. Excellent company, awesome bed. Can't beat the quality or comfort for the price! Especially considering they don't have a bunch of weird chemicals in their mattresses - which you don't have to breathe in every night! I've been sleeping great on the bed. I'm a big guy and still feels very supportive. Have a bed cover to protect the cotton top, but the mattress still breathes well, as it doesn't get too hot. If you're on the fences, look no further, it's worth the money.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello roxm123, the zippered cover zips around the entire mattress. Cover can be removed to clean. It is best and safest to dry clean, but it can also be washed in warm water- gentle cycle and line dry. Thank you for shopping with us.
Is this product free of metal inside the mattress?
Hi 1972me, we were able to confirm this information with our support team. This product is completely metal free. We hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
We received our mattress 3 days ago and have been letting it air out since then. Sadly, it is still putting out a rather unpleasant odor (my husband gets nauseous laying on it). Any thoughts on how to get rid of the odor (I thought it was supposed to be essentially odor-free)? We want to keep the mattress, but can't sleep on it. Thanks!
I'm so sorry for that. Go ahead and contact us at 1-800 The Big O (843-2446) or via live chat using the "online help center" at the bottom of this page and we'd be happy to help.

The desert landscapes and intricate textiles of the Southwestern United States are legendary. Capture the iconic western style in your home with Navajo patterns, animal head decor, and desert plants.
Modern Geometry
Shapes are here and they're making a scene in the modern home. Draw in wandering eyes with geometric rugs, lamps, and furniture. You'll make the decor grade, even if math wasn't your favorite subject.
Connect The Dots
Seeing spots? That's okay, because you're not the only one. Polka dots are a charming way to bring energy to your decor as well as your wardrobe. Go ahead and embrace those little spots.
Retro Revival
The 1950s were a time of swinging tunes, mid-century furniture, and innovative fashion. We're looking fondly to the days of jukeboxes and soda shops for design inspiration.
Wedding Bells At Pride Parade
"It's not just gay marriage, to us it is marriage. Whether it's gay, straight, lesbian, or anything in between, every person should have the right to marry whomever they want and to be happy."
