I am sooo in love with this product. It's not drying and I it's not shine or matte it has a really nice sheen and the colour honey is the perfect my lips but better colour. The opacity is build-able. I'm not one to wear lip colour everyday but now I do.

I LOOOVVEEE this product. I knew about this product in this particular shade from my friend who uses it to school, it looks like a pale pink color on her. But, on my lips, it looks more pinkish. I use this to school, just one swap on the upper and bottom lips each and I get a natural pink lips. It is surprisingly moisturizing on my chapped lips, so this product is similar to tinted lip balm. However, i don't really like the mint scent and flavor, sometimes it makes me nauseous.

This lip balm is the bomb! I love the pigmentation, the moisturising property, the staining effect, not too wet or sticky! It's everything you can ask in a lip product if you're not looking for a matte lipstick! The reason I took one lippy off is because I don't like the colour, it's too brown/plummy for my liking. I really like the colour Elusive in the Revlon matte balm range, it's the perfect pink for me but the quality isn't as good as this one.

This stained a completely different colour on my lips...I really liked its texture and initial colour...looks natural and healthy but the stain on the lips turned a little orangey even though i purchased this in 3 different colours and it all stain in almost the same orange shade...Imagine i do a smoky eye look with nude lips and afterwards it turned pinkish+orangey...lol...I would only use this if my makeup look of the day does not require me to have pale lips...

I just LOVEEEE this product! Stays all day. After the glossiness gone, I love the staining effect, looks natural & pretty on my lips. Definitely repurchase!

I've been using this for almost 2 years now. It's a very MLBB shade that can be worn daily. It looks mauve-y pink on my lips with a nice sheen. The name says it is a balm stain but truthfully you still have to apply a very thin layer of real balm if you have very dry lips like mine. What I really love about this is that it really suits with my complexion, and doesn't emphasize the cracks and crevices of my lips but cover and heals them nicely instead. I totally love this product but it's kinda price-y here in my country, the Philippines. It's 575php so it's around 13USD but the actual price is more or less 9USD. But of course you can get 50% discount whenever there's a sale (like right now)!! hurray for that! All in all, I love it and will continue on repurchasing it whenever I ran out. ;-)

Loved this colour. Long-lasting, not drying. A good base for any gloss. My lips are very pale so this was perfect lightly applied for the "I woke up like this" look. Found myself reaching for this every day, a definite go-to. Cap started splitting on me though, wouldn't stay on. Only complaint.

This is a everyday lip color, its a dark cool toned pinish mauve color and it does stain my lips. This color is very similar to my natural lip color so I dont see a major difference when i put this on, but it is subtle enough for me to use it on a regular basis as it gives me a more polished look.
I need to apply a thin layer of lip balm before I apply this because it's a little drying and could stain the inside rim on your lips.
It has a minty fragence and plumps my lips a little. Which is great.

Definitely a MLBB color. Love it! My lips are pigmented (and freckled) so I wasn't expecting much payoff but you can definitely see that I have a balm/stain on my lips. The color is pinky nude and like others have said, it is a flattering colors on all skin tones. It is a bit drying but I feel that with more slip won't last as long. It's most comparable to Tarte's lip tints than Clinique's chubby sticks.

I'm going to go completely against popular opinion here and say, I really didn't like this. When I swatched this in the drugstore it looked pretty good, but when I applied it to my lips at home it was horrible. It's got a lot of blue tones to it, which had the result of making my lips look like I was suffering from frostbite!
Secondly, the scent - it's awful. It smells like really artificial mint and when you apply it, it makes your lips tingle which is something I'm not a fan of at all.
Finally the packaging - the lid cracked, which made the product dry out and then to add insult to injury, the twist up bit on the bottom broke so it twisted round and round but stopped pushing the product up. By that point I'd given up completely on this and won't be repurchasing or purchasing any other shades from this range either. Massive disappointment considering all the hype it's received!

Peony Bowl
Product informationThis arrangement of artifical floral is perfect for lighting up the room. It has a cloud of beautiful cream peonies blossoming out from the contemporary, fish bowl vase. Great for a simple, yet stylish, look.
Peony's faux flowers typify the beautiful gardens found at the brand's home in Shropshire's Ruckley Estate. From the variation in petal shades and individual stamens, to capturing the movement of each stem, every flower is hand made to recreate the beauty of real examples from the grounds. This acute attention to detail has gone on to earn the company accreditation from the Royal Horticultural Society.
Family run, Peony's team of trained florists create beautiful arrangements, often combining stunning glass and ceramic vessels, with life-like touches such as the brand's 'Still Water', which sets to give the effect of real water inside each vase. Real ingredients such as soil, moss and bamboo are added to complete a display that is almost impossible to distinguish from the real thing.

Reviews for Weeknight Taco Soup
Sort By :
"I just made this soup ~ the taste testing proves what the other reviewers have found: a quick, delicious weeknight meal. Like the others, I made slight modifications: 4 c chicken stock (what I had on hand), omitted fresh peppers, added roasted red peppers from a jar (1/2 c finely diced), used diced tomatoes with chipotle, and added roasted diced green chiles I had previously frozen (1/3 c or about 1 4oz can undrained). I thought it was a fantastic meatless dish ~ the beans give it a good "fill your tummy" texture like meat would if added. I'm serving it with the suggested options along with fresh cilantro and lime. Dinner will be early at our home this evening!"
"This soup was very tasty. Hubby and son loved it. Took it to work for lunch the next day, still yummy. Girls in work asked for recipe. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable. I think next time I will add ground meat."
"YUMMY! This taco soup is the best. I added 4 cups of vegetable broth instead of 3. I did not add the sour cream but rather decided to just serve it on the side along with the cheese. I served it with french baquette bread. Will definitely make it again. Family loved! It's excellent leftover."

Picard made First Contact with 27 civilisations?

Re: Picard made First Contact with 27 civilisations?

Kozinski wasn't with Starfleet. Though I'd imagine that the Traveler likely did interact with Starfleet officers prior to coming aboard the Enterprise due to being Kozinski's assistant.
As I recall, the Traveller was travelling incognito with Kozinski. I think they knew what he was capable of, but not who he was.
It was only during the warp experiments that his true identiy was disclosed to Picard. As such, I believe that Picard should be credited with the true 'First Contact' between the Federation and the Traveller species.
What we know of the Traveler from the show is that he's from Tau Alpha C, which was a world known to Commander Riker by the time the Traveler had beamed aboard. We don't know if Starfleet made contact with the people of that world, but they seemed okay with appointing him Kozinski's assistant and he apparently had a security clearance high enough to work with the engines of the Federation flagship. One can reasonably assume that Starfleet had already spoken with at least one member of that species, namely the Traveler.
Whether there was an official first contact is not known, but it's a reasonable assumption that Starfleet already made contact with Tau Alpha C. There's nothing to suggest that the Traveler is a separate species from everyone else residing in that system, but rather a member of that species who has learned to transcend space and time just as Wesley, a human from Earth, was able to.
"You have been examined. Your ship must be destroyed. We make assumption you have a deity, or deities, or some such beliefs which comfort you. We therefore grant you ten Earth time periods known as minutes to make preparations."

You make less and less sense every day. You seem to be saying that all violence is racist, no matter the actual motivation.
Feb 11, 2013
The MOTIVATION is that theya re white people who they believe don't like them. They have racial stereotypes they believe, thus the action they want to take.
You think that people think the KKK are racists because of a stereotype? Do you really think the KKK aren't racist? Isn't that sort of the point of the KKK?
Feb 11, 2013
AGain, read the articles. I don't know anything about them, other than they say they are different now than the past and they are only about white rights, not anything bad towards black people. SO, if that's true, then those who oppose them are racist.
Man, you must be from another planet.
Feb 11, 2013
You do make a good point there, that most of our planet is full of loons, so when someone makes sense it's likely they are from somewhere else.

Chelsea left it late to clinch a 3-1 victory over ten-man Norwich City in a match that was marred by a serious injury suffered by Didier Drogba at Stamford Bridge.
Andre Villas-Boas's side were in danger of being held to a draw by newly-promoted Norwich when Grant Holt punished a mistake from Blues goalkeeper Hilario to cancel out Jose Bosingwa's opener. Drogba was stretchered off soon after when he landed heavily following an aerial collision with Norwich goalkeeper John Ruddy.
However, Lampard ensured Chelsea won for the second time in three league games under Villas-Boas when he drove home a spot-kick with eight minutes remaining before Juan Mata marked his debut following his move from Valencia with a goal in the final moments.
Liverpool go top
Liverpool moved to the top of the table, above Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers on goal difference, after a 3-1 victory over Bolton Wanderers at Anfield.
Kenny Dalglish's side were on course for their second league win of the campaign from the moment England midfielder Jordan Henderson - a £16 million signing from Sunderland in the close-season - curled home a fine finish in the 15th minute for his first Reds goal.
Martin Skrtel put Liverpool in complete control in the 52nd minute when the Slovakian defender headed home a Charlie Adam's corner. Former Blackpool midfielder Adam then sealed an impressive display for the Reds one minute later when he drilled a low shot past Jussi Jaaskelainen to claim his first goal for the club.
Bolton striker Ivan Klasnic got one back in stoppage time, but it was no consolation for the visitors.
"It was a pleasure to watch," Dalglish said. "We got the result because we worked hard and played for each other. To lose a goal at the end maybe puts a dampener on it for 40 seconds or so, but that also says a lot."
Everton edge Blackburn
Blackburn Rovers missed two spot-kicks and then paid the penalty as Everton secured a 1-0 win at Ewood Park.
Rovers squandered a chance to take the lead early in the second half when Tim Howard saved Junior Hoilett's penalty after Mauro Formica won the spot-kick after contact from Ross Barkley. And Formica missed from the spot himself, shooting against a post after being fouled by Phil Jagielka in the final minutes.
Everton made the hosts pay for those missed chances when Spanish midfielder Mikel Arteta stroked home a 90th minute penalty awarded for a Chris Samba challenge on Marouane Fellaini.
Swansea were held to a 0-0 home draw for the second successive week as Sunderland held firm in a dour struggle at the Liberty Stadium. Wigan Athletic maintained their unbeaten start as a fine double by Argentinian striker Franco Di Santo secured a 2-0 win over Queens Park Rangers.
Wolverhampton remain undefeated with seven points after Mick McCarthy's team fought out a 0-0 draw at local rivals Aston Villa.

Tomahawks Season Underway
EUGENE, Ore.
The Puget Sound Tomahawks, who play out of the Bremerton Ice Skating Center, earned their first win of the 2008-09 NOR-PAC League season with a 3-2 win over the Eugene Generals on Friday night.
Puget Sound's Cassidy Hudkins, an Olympic High graduate, scored the first goal off an assist from John Bennewitz to give the Tomahawks a 1-0 lead after the first period. But the Generals came back to take a 2-1 lead in the second from goals by Neil Holder and John Strahle, both power play goals.
The Tomahawks then tied the game when Travis Behlorad scored at 9:54 of the third from Keith Tessin followed by a power play goal by Rafal Plonski, of Poland, off a pass from Tessin. PS goalie Taylor Fant stopped 30 of 32 shots to earn the win.
The Tomahawks (1-1) will play at home at 7:35 p.m. Thursday and Friday against Eugene.

How to Grout a Slate Floor
Follow these instructions on how to grout a slate floor.
Many stains are on the surface of the grout and can be removed with sandpaper. Just fold the sandpaper into a crease, and work it back and forth along the grout line. If sandpaper doesn't work, you may have better results by applying a pencil eraser.
If sandpaper or an eraser fails to remove the stains and dirt, try an over-the-counter grout cleaner -- or create a similar solution from household bleach and water. Squirt or pour the solution onto the grout, and scrub with a toothbrush. Make sure the area is well ventilated, and wear rubber or latex gloves when working with bleach.
If bleach doesn't do the job, you may need to remove and replace the grout. Use a grout-removal tool or a rotary tool with a carbide tip (Image 1). After you install new grout, seal it with a grout sealer (Image 2) to reduce the likelihood of future stains setting in. Reapply sealer once every two years.

Kirtland's Warbler 2015 Nesting Season Report
Photo by Joel Trick
October 1, 2015
The Kirtland's warbler 2015 breeding season was one of a few surprises, novel findings, new partnerships, and was the most successful season since the population was confirmed nesting in Adams County in 2008. The first confirmation that Kirtland's were back on their breeding site in Wisconsin, the end of their 1500 mile migration from the Bahamas, was made by Barry Benson (U.S. Department of Agriculture, Wildlife Services). On May 8th, Barry heard 4 singing males while at the site checking cowbird traps On June 2, nest monitor Ashley Hannah confirmed the first Kirtland's nest of the season with 5 eggs.

I think the trade-off is that the new Color Protection film requires less light shielding than previous emulsions and has better color overall, but at the expense of a long development time.
When you consider that IP is trying to replicate the Polaroid integral film experience but with different, less toxic (and often less effective) chemicals, they're doing pretty well. I only wish the price point were lower.

Army Cadets overcome fear at obstacle course
June 24, 2011
JOINT BASE LEWIS McCHORD, Wash. -- The four-story ascent to the top of the rappel tower was like a roller coaster slowly inching its way to its inevitable, thunderous decent.
With apprehension and no view of the outside world from within the stairwell of the tower, Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps Cadets climbed to the top, knowing they would soon meet their fear face to face.
The rappel training is one of the obstacles and confidence training courses Army ROTC Cadets are required to navigate during the Leader Development and Assessment Course, also known as Operation Warrior Forge, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord June 21.
"Is there anybody here that has absolutely no apprehension or fear to go off the top of this tower," asked Sgt. 1st Class David Lykens, rappel master, University of Minnesota.
Lykens asks this question during each rappel briefing and he explains how it is necessary to have respect for the height because overconfidence leads to accidents in the field.
To simulate the atmosphere of the field, the Cadets first navigated a series of obstacles, where teamwork, motivation, encouragement and leadership determined the future officers' success.
The "Low Wire" required the Cadets to low crawl on their backs to narrowly avoid the jagged barbed wire. The "Weaver" proved difficult as the Cadets weaved in-and-out of a pyramid of logs. Failure to overcome each obstacle resulted in a "no-go" which means they would have to navigate the obstacle again.
"The overall purpose of this is basically for them to start working together as a team and to motivate themselves through the course," said Master Sgt. Ray Garza, confidence course noncommissioned officer in charge, Texas A&M;University. "As they finish, they realize they've accomplished something."
The confidence course provides an arena for the Cadets to not only build their confidence and personal courage but to also develop their leadership skills. The goal is to finish as team, and the Cadets high levels of camaraderie and motivation proved crucial in achieving their goal.
With the last Cadet maneuvering under the barbed wire, it was time to march from the obstacle course to the next hurdle of the day: the rappel tower.
As the Cadets tied their Swiss seat rappel harnesses, they realized that today was the day to overcome any lingering fear of heights which became apparent as they viewed the tower.
"We're trying to build up their confidence," said Sgt. 1st Class David Lykens, rappel master, University of Minnesota. "Once you've overcome a fear of your own, your confidence level will sprout out into everything you do."
Pairs of cadets shuffled to the edge once they reached the top of the rappel tower. Thirty-seven feet is all it takes to be planted firmly and safely on the ground again. To get there the Cadets would have to respect their fears and place their trust in their training and equipment.
"You gain a lot of trust in yourself and know that you can do anything you put your mind to," said Cadet Kevin Gillespie, Texas A&M;University.
With his back to the edge of the tower, Gillespie used his brake hand on the rope to hold him in place. On the left side of the Tower his fellow Cadet, Guy Mbemba, North Carolina A&T;University, stood ready to lower himself down. The rappel master gave the command to rappel, and the Cadets kicked off the wall and swooped down and descended in 10-foot increments to the ground.
"It's always cool to see how easy it is to rappel down such a thing with such simple equipment," said Gillespie.
While some Cadets were more hesitant than others, failure to execute was unacceptable.
"We won't let them quit," said Lykens. "Their confidence level shoots up when they go down."
There may not be a 37-foot wall in the middle of Afghanistan but knowing how to overcome the fear of heights provides the Cadets with the well roundedness it takes to be an Army leader.
Completing the obstacle and confidence training courses bring the Cadets one step closer to their ultimate goal of being commissioned as second lieutenants into the active Army, Reserves or National Guard.

Emeli Sandé's Version of Events
Emeli Sandé's music has been on repeat in our home. I first heard her in this interview on Michel Martin of NPR's Tell Me More. Bold, smart music:
"You've got a heart as loud as lions / So why let your voice be tamed? / Baby we're a little different / there's no need to be ashamed / You've got the light to fight the shadows / so stop hiding it away."
Listen to the interview; it's good.

The best thing you can do is act calm and cool with him. Do not allow him to see your frustration. Just bring your vent and frustration back here.
Posted 05/16/2009
Exactly, because speaking from experience, the more reaction you show, the more he will try to argue. Don't give him a reason to fight with you, because it never turns out good and will make you more frustrated. You know he is a SD, he knows he is a SD, but if you argue, he will turn it around that you are the problem not him.
Cool and calm is the best way, no matter how hard it is. I am still learning this the hard way..lol

Article: Melin, P. et al. Effectiveness of chronic hepatitis C treatment in drug users in routine clinical practice: results of a prospective cohort study. Eur. J. Gastroenterol. Hepatol. 22, 1050-1057[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Injection drug users are often excluded from hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment. This study compares sustained virological response, adherence, and quality of life in patients with or without a history of illicit drug use in routine clinical practice. This is a post-hoc analysis of a prospective, observational study conducted in 1860 patients who received peginterferon alpha-2b/ribavirin combination therapy. Nondrug users (NDUs) were defined as patients without a history of drug addiction; former drug users (FDUs) as patients who had stopped using illicit drugs or opioid maintenance therapy and active drug users (ADUs) as patients using illicit drugs or on opioid maintenance therapy. Virological response, adherence, and the health-related quality of life were assessed by the measure of HCV RNA in the serum, self-report and 36-item short-form health survey Questionnaire, respectively. The analyzed population included 1038 (56%) NDUs, 578 (31%) FDUs, and 244 (13%) ADUs. About 85% of ADUs were on opioid maintenance therapy and 25% used illicit drugs. Although ADUs had a more chaotic lifestyle and more psychiatric disorders, sustained virological response of ADUs (58%) did not differ from that of NDUs (49%) and FDUs (51%) (P=0.133). Adherence rates were 39% in NDUs and FDUs, and 37% in ADUs (P=0.883). Health-related quality of life was improved in the three groups after the end of treatment. Our study suggests that HCV therapy in ADUs on opioid maintenance therapy is as effective as in other HCV patients. The effectiveness of HCV therapy in illicit drug users needs to be evaluated in further studies.European journal of gastroenterology & hepatology 03/2010; 22(9):1050-7.

Article: Multicentre randomised phase III trial comparing Tamoxifen alone or with Transarterial Lipiodol Chemoembolisation for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patients (Fédération Francophone de Cancérologie Digestive 9402)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The FFCD 9402 multicentre phase III trial was designed to compare the effects of the combination of Transarterial Lipiodol Chemoembolisation (TACE) and tamoxifen with tamoxifen alone on overall survival and quality of life in the palliative treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with cirrhosis. From 1995 to 2002, 138 patients were randomised between the two groups. One hundred and twenty three patients were eligible including 61 in the Tamoxifen group and 62 in the TACE group. Baseline characteristics were similar: Child-Pugh class A: 70%, alcoholic cirrhosis: 76%, Okuda stage I: 71%, multinodular tumour: 70% and segmental portal vein thrombosis: 10%. At 2years, the overall survival was 22% and 25% in the Tamoxifen and TACE groups (P=.68), respectively. Multivariate analysis identified four independent prognostic factors for survival: alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)>400ng/mL (P=.008), abdominal pain (P=.011), hepatomegaly (P=.023) and Child-Pugh score (P=.032). The Spitzer Index level assessing the quality of life during follow-up did not differ between the two groups (P=.70). Amongst patients with stage Okuda I, the 2-year overall survival was 28% in the Tamoxifen group and 32% in the TACE group (P=.58). In this subgroup, two prognostic factors were statistically significant for survival: AFP>400ng/mL (P=.004) and Spitzer Index (P=.013) as shown by multivariable analysis. In conclusion, this study suggests that TACE improves neither the survival nor the quality of life in patients with HCC and cirrhosis.European Journal of Cancer 04/2008; 44(4):528-38.

ABSTRACT: Randomized studies on tamoxifen treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) produced conflicting results. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of tamoxifen administration in improving overall survival of patients with advanced HCC. A total of 420 patients with HCC who were not suitable for surgery or local treatment were randomly assigned between April 1995 and May 2000: 210 in the control group and 210 in the tamoxifen group (20 mg/d orally). Patients with WHO performance status greater than 2, belonging to Child-Pugh class C, or with serum creatinine greater than 130 mumol/L were not eligible. Tolerance was good and the main reported adverse effects were thrombophlebitis (three patients), nausea (two patients), and hot flushes (three patients). Outcome did not differ between the two treatment arms: estimated median survival was 4.8 and 4.0 months in the tamoxifen and in the control groups, respectively (P = .25). Univariate analysis showed significant association of survival with age, Okuda stage, WHO performance status, Child-Pugh class, intrahepatic tumor stage, alpha-fetoprotein serum concentration, and presence of extrahepatic spread, portal vein thrombosis, hepatomegaly, or hepatalgia. In a Cox proportional hazards model we found a significant beneficial effect of tamoxifen on survival in patients belonging to Okuda I or II stages. In this large study, tamoxifen did not improve the survival of patients with advanced HCC, but there is a suggestion that patients without major hepatic insufficiency seem to have some survival benefit. New trials involving this specific population are warranted.Journal of Clinical Oncology 08/2005; 23(19):4338-46. DOI:10.1200/JCO.2005.05.470 · 18.43 Impact Factor
Article: Changing of hepatitis C virus genotype patterns in France at the beginning of the third millenium: The GEMHEP GenoCII Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate, during a short period between 2000 and 2001, in a large population of patients with chronic hepatitis C, the epidemiological characteristics of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes in France. Data from 26 referral centres, corresponding to 1769 patients with chronic hepatitis C were collected consecutively during a 6-month period. HCV genotyping in the 5'-non-coding region (NCR) was performed in each center using the line probe assay (LiPA, in 63% of cases), sequencing (25%) or primer-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (12%). HCV genotypes 1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4, 5, non-subtyped 1 and mixed infection were found in 18, 27, 9, 21, 9, 3, 11 and 1% of our population, respectively. HCV genotype distribution was associated with gender, age, source and duration of infection, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, cirrhosis, alcohol consumption, hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfection. In multivariate analysis, only the source of infection was the independent factor significantly associated with genotype (P = 0.0001). In conclusion, this study shows a changing pattern of HCV genotypes in France, with i.v. drug abuse as the major risk factor, an increase of genotype 4, and to a lesser extent 1a and 5, and a decrease of genotypes 1b and 2. The modification of the HCV genotype pattern in France in the next 10 years may require new therapeutic strategies, and further survey studies.Journal of Viral Hepatitis 08/2005; 12(4):405-13.

Article: Antiviral effect of ribavirin in early non-responders to interferon monotherapy assessed by kinetics of hepatitis C virus RNA and hepatitis C virus core antigen[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate the efficacy of ribavirin, given in second intention in non-responders to interferon alone, by studying viral kinetics. We conducted a trial including 203 patients with chronic hepatitis C, naïve of treatment. Patients were treated with interferon three times a week with or without ribavirin and amantadine according to response. Viral kinetics were assessed by serial measurements of HCV RNA (bDNA 3.0 and Monitor 2.0) and a new assay, trak-C, able to quantify total Hepatitis C virus (HCV) core antigen. A significant initial drop in HCV RNA or HCV core antigen, under interferon alone, was associated with response to therapy, -4.85+/-1.33 log for HCV RNA in sustained responders versus -1.86+/-1.53 log for others groups, P<0.001. In patients receiving ribavirin in second intention, we also observed a similar drop in HCV RNA and HCV core antigen, predictive of sustained response, -2.67+/-1.26 log for HCV RNA in sustained responders versus -0.44+/-0.49 log in non-responders, P<0.001. Ribavirin has probably an additional antiviral effect in interferon treated patients. Kinetics of HCV RNA and HCV core antigen under treatment are highly predictive of a sustained virological response.Journal of Hepatology 11/2003; 39(5):826-33.

I wrote a review after hearing the accolades from my family members who received this from me for Christmas. I finally made the purchase for myself in charcoal and just receently purchased it in black. It's wonderful. I hope Guillaume will bring it back in the light color. That's the one I really wanted. What a great gift for someone....if you can part with it after touching it!

I bought this at the sale price. The throw is soft, with nice pattern (bought the grey) but it is small. You can't use this as a blanket of any sort, just a small throw when you're sitting. I have many throws and this is the smallest. When I am lying down on the sofa it covers from my feet to about mid chest. And I am 5'5. Just very average and definitely not worth full price.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought this in all grey. Have had my eye on it for a few weeks now and couldn't resist it at the latest price point. It is just gorgeous. I was already surprised by the weight of it when I opened the parcel. The grey is very elegant. The fur side is lovely, very strokeable, and the lining is a good quality matching soft grey plush. Be careful what you wish for but this will be such a cosy cuddle when the cold days reach us again. Would certainly recommend it as a present.
Ordered 3 of these throws. Super soft and warm!Great value for the price...

DRIVING SEAT: Motorcycling: Now It's Time for Bikers to Have Their Own Charity
Byline: WILLIAM LEECE
CANNY charities know that the best people to turn for a spot of fundraising can be the biking community.
Even the hairiest and scariest of bikers can be relied on to dip into their pockets and give generously to good causes - particularly if there's the prospect of a good day's riding on the cards as well.
Look at the thousands who turn up each year for the Wirral Egg Run to help children's charities. Or,more modestly, the dozens who've turned out regularly to Clwb Beic Modur Eryri's runs in the best parts of Wales in aid of local charities.
Next month hundreds - including myself - will be taking to the roads overnight in the BMF/ACU National Rally, with the mental disability charity Mencap one of the main beneficiaries.
But bikers can be a bit backward in coming forward to help themselves. Who helps them?
Now the BMF,one of the principal biking lobby groups, is setting up its own charity fund to do exactly that.
It has set up the BMF Foundation, which cover the advancement of education into road safety; the design, development and maintenance of roads; motorcycle design safety; the design of protective clothing; the causes and prevention of road accidents involving motorcyclists; the treatment of injuries typically suffered in such accidents; the reduction of crime involving motorcycles,especially motorcycle theft; the protection of the environment; and the sociological aspects of motorcycle use and transportation generally.
These will be addressed mainly through making grants to organisations such as academic institutions to carry out research, a recent example being that made by a government funded organisation who asked if the BMF could support the production of guidelines for road designers. Where injuries are concerned, particular those to the head and spine, support of these victims is a matter with which the BMF has been involved and the Foundation, through its charitable status,could now support them still further. …

Brad Pitt isn't just a good-looking movie star: he's also an everyday hero!
PHOTOS: A history of Brad Pitt's facial hair
The 47-year-old father of six was filming a scene for his new movie, "World War Z," in Glasgow, Scotland Thursday when one of 700 extras stumbled to the ground and was nearly trampled.
Without hesitating, Pitt scooped the woman up and brought her back to her feet.
PHOTOS: Brad and Maddox's cutest moments
"Lots of people hurt themselves and Brad came to the rescue of one woman who slipped," a set source told The Scottish Sun. "I don't think she could believe it when Brad picked her up."
"He didn't have time to speak to her as it was mid-shoot. But she said afterwards how grateful she was, despite having a badly grazed knee."
PHOTOS: Brad's sexiest real-life moments with Angelina
The woman wasn't the only extra who was injured during the intense World War Z shoot. "Loads of extras suffered bumps and scrapes during the battle scene," the set insider revealed. "An extra playing a soldier was even hit by a moving car, ending up on the vehicle's bonnet, but fortunately he escaped unhurt."

Seems that there are not much work done on Haskell for web. People uses it as a learning tool for functional programming more than business. Has anyone developed and deployed web application on Haskell, yet? Please, share the links.
The next session comments might change my mind and plan something else which could be also useful in terms of business. Guidance, Guidance, Please!
I'm planning to learn a functional programming language and I picked Haskell.
Is Haskell "cooked" enough to develop a commercial web application? Or should I start looking for other options, maybe even something other than a functional programming language, if it is worthy?
Investment in learning a language is very expensive and I want to make sure Haskell is really worth it to learn.
Guidance, Please.

Residence for UK tax purposes — the comprehensive statutory residence test from 2013–14
The introduction in the present tax year 2013–14 of a new comprehensive statutory test for residence (SRT) is likely to be of little direct application to many if not most of our readers, who will have been and continue to be very firmly resident (and indeed domiciled — of which more below) in the UK. However, for professional advisers, it is an enormously significant step for Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to take. And indeed those who read the financial pages of the press at all regularly will be aware of this initiative.
It would not be appropriate in a Bulletin of this kind to go into very much detail of the new regime, though there will (necessarily) be some of that. What we think will be most useful is to put it into some form of context, to enable our readers to understand why it was needed and what impact it might have. There may always be a member of the family or a friend who is directly affected.
The concepts of residence and, separately domicile, are used to police the UK's territorial tax boundaries. After all, it would make no sense — and indeed it would lead to significant inter-jurisdiction dispute — for the UK (or indeed other countries) to seek to tax income, gains and assets on a worldwide basis in the hands of those who have no or even a very limited connection with the UK…

EVERETT, Wash., Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Assembly has started on the second Boeing KC-46A tanker for the U.S. Air Force, two months after work began on the first.
Initial assembly efforts started last week involved loading the aircraft's wing spar into an Automated Spar Assembly Tool. The wing spar is the main structural component of the wing and provides critical support for flight loads and the weight of the wings.
The aircraft is the second of four Engineering, Manufacturing and Development test aircraft.
The U.S. Air Force is a step closer to getting its first next-generation KC-46A aerial refueling tanker after production of the aircraft began this week, the Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) said in a statement released on Thursday.
"Completing production of the four test aircraft on schedule is our priority as we prepare to enter the flight test phase of the program," said Maj. Gen. John Thompson, the U.S. Air Force Program Executive Officer for Tankers. "The program continues to meet or exceed all contract milestones."
The first test aircraft is expected to roll out of the factory in January of 2014, and the second test aircraft is expected to leave the factory in March.
Boeing's Vice President, Maureen Dougherty, said the production of the tanker is on schedule and in a year from now all four test aircraft will be out of the factory.

Cheapskating to Victory
Scott Walker is poised to cash in on his frugality in the Wisconsin governor's race.
Aug 30, 2010, Vol. 15, No. 47 • By STEPHEN F. HAYES
Scott Walker downs a Krispy Kreme cheeseburger.
When Barack Obama visited here on August 16, the state's top Democrats greeted him at the airport. Representative Gwen Moore was there. So was Governor Jim Doyle. Senator Russ Feingold was there and said he had no concerns about appearing with the increasingly unpopular president. "Absolutely none," he said. "I'm pleased to stand with this president any time and anywhere and defend what we've done and what we're doing."
But there was one conspicuous absence at General Mitchell International Airport that morning: Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett, who is running for governor.
Odd. The White House worked hard to recruit Barrett to run to succeed Doyle, and one of the two events Obama was in Wisconsin to attend was a fundraiser for Barrett. The other was a speech at ZBB Energy that Barrett had helped set up.
But not only was Barrett not at the airport, he skipped the event at ZBB Energy. Obama didn't even mention Barrett's name at the beginning of his 11-minute speech when he acknowledged everyone else including "Eric," ZBB's CEO who gave him a tour. Barrett apparently did find time to make the fundraiser Obama held in his honor, which raised a reported $325,000, but that event was not open to the press.
Barrett was an early supporter of Obama's $862 billion stimulus plan. "I do think it can help stem the downward spiral, and when we reach bottom we'll be able to climb out more easily," he told the Business Journal of Milwaukee shortly after the stimulus was passed in 2009. But the climb out has been anything but easy in Wisconsin or the rest of the country. Voters overwhelmingly believe the stimulus was ineffective and with this fall's midterm elections shaping up to be a referendum on the size and scope of government, few elected Democrats are defending it.
Republicans, on the other hand, are eager to talk about the stimulus. As Obama spoke at the fundraiser, Barrett's likely Republican opponent for governor, Scott Walker, was across town discussing the spending with supporters at a rally in a parking lot under the Hoan Bridge near Lake Michigan.
The Obama administration has given Wisconsin stimulus money to fund a high-speed train between Milwaukee and Madison. Barrett and Governor Doyle embraced the project when it was announced, but in the months since, it has become incredibly unpopular. Walker believes that the state has higher priorities—chief among them repairing the Hoan Bridge, which connects the south side to downtown Milwaukee. Driving over the bridge is like going across a mile of rumble strips. Not long ago the city had to put netting on the underside of the bridge in order to catch debris as it falls from the structure.
Walker wants to stop the train and fix the bridge:
Not surprisingly, there was ample agreement among the 400 people who made time to attend a rally at 2:30 p.m. on a Monday.
"I think it's a stupid idea," says Yash Wadhwa, a civil engineer from Milwaukee. "It's a complete waste of money. If we can get five people to ride that train we'll be lucky. Nobody wants it except Jim Doyle and Tom Barrett."
Walker is one of the most compelling candidates running this election cycle. The son of a minister, he was elected Milwaukee County executive in the spring of 2002, in what the local newspaper called "the grand finale of a taxpayer uprising." The revolt came after a pension scandal in which county officials voted themselves millions of dollars in retirement payments. The compensation would have included a lump sum payout for Tom Ament, -Walker's predecessor, as high as $2.3 million and annual payments of some $136,000 for life.
Walker ran promising to overhaul county government. He promised to balance the budget, at the time some $3.5 million in the red. He promised to cut government spending. He promised to change the way the county does business. He started with his own salary. Since 2002, he has forgone more than $370,000.
Walker ran ads about his salary to kick off his campaign for governor. After telling viewers how much he'd given up, Walker laughs a bit. "My wife was like: What? But we believe that government spends too much money. And that included my salary."
Is it a gimmick? Of course. But talk to Wisconsin voters about the governor's race and Walker's decision to give back part of his salary is one of the first things they mention. The ad worked for two reasons: It is consistent with the way Walker has governed, and it's about real money.

Another day another drop, Romney now running with a 7.8% chance of winning.
Also being in florida, I hear all the ads from pissed off Floridians that are standing 9 hours in line to vote and have decided because a republican caused them to wait these long waits because Rick Scott wanted to suppress minority voters, they are now voting democrat.
With that, looks like Obama is gonna take florida which means he only needs 1 state extra...like ohio...which he's getting...

These people that have to wait in these lines should remember this when their Gov. is up for re election.
If you notice it is in states that have REP. Gov.[ FLA., OHIO,] and it is happening in parts of the state that have mostly DEMs in them.
The REPs can't win this election without cutting voting hours and haveing to suppress minority voters.
Have a nice night

I agree. It's time that the younger generation needs a role model to follow. This election should define a new set of morals for generations to identify with and begin the movement to a new standard of America. This new generation should emulate Mr. Romney and say "Yes! I TOO destined for greatness! I too am too important to go to combat and defend this country! I am above that sort of honor that defines itself by selfless service and commitment to values". Anybody that thinks they are TOO GOOD to go to war because they are destined for better things than that is my candidate!!

So as a "Vet" You can identify with a guy that says that he is "Too important to go to war"? You can believe in a leader that feels they are "Destined for greater things than military service". Do you really believe that there is a class of people that is too good to have to endure the agony and pain of battle because they are estined for it?

Actually, It's People Who Vote Who Have No Right To Complain

(I posted this on Election Day last year. I have decided to post it again on Election Day this year for people who have discovered LewRockwell.com since then. I will probably continue to re-post this every Election Dayuntil Homeland Security eventually shuts down LewRockwell.com )
If you're a voluntaryist, like I am, I'm sure that you've had some person at one time or another say to you, "If you don't vote, then you have no right to complain." But that person's logic is backwards. If I don't accept something to begin with (in this case, the institution of government), what logic would it be on my part to have any sort of association and/or dealings with it that perpetuates its legitimacyand then complain about it? If I don't like Chinese food, I don't go to Chinese restaurants.(And since the owners of the Chinese restaurants can't come after me to force me to patronize their businesses, then there's no need for me to complain about Chinese food.)
But if you do associate and/or have dealings with something, then there is a tacit understanding that you have accepted its conditions. For example: If you are a left-winger who believes in government and votingbut obviously didn't vote for Bushthen when Bush was elected you had no right to complain; you've already agreed to the condition that you will accept the results of the election regardless of who wins.(Of course, a person can complain about certain aspects of the government in the same way that I can complain about some of the food in a restaurant that I do patronize.)
On the other hand, since I (as a voluntaryist) don't accept the legitimacy of (nor even the need for) government to begin with, I have every right to complain about this inefficient, corrupt monopoly forcing itself on my personal being when I don't even want the services that it provides.

Very true. However, what if the very establishment that you choose to reject happens to be the best (and only) means to affecting the the problems that you have brought up? I.e. What if voting for the "establishment" is the only way to correct or eliminate the establshment? What if your indifference FEEDS it to begin with? We have to agree that in an analogy, government is like a weed. It's parasitic and really not pretty. What if, like a weed, TOO much participation (like weed and feed) made it wither and die. What if 100% participation created an environment in which the establishment would wither and die?
