Article Summary
On some summer days and nights, a good fan is all you need to keep your cool. But often it's a case of being in the right place at the right time if you want to benefit from old-fashioned fan technology. The Segula Double-Circulator doesn't just blow the air into the room like any other ordinary fan. Instead, it circulates the air in the whole room via two independent heads, which the manufacturers say is more healthy than a fan directly aimed at your body. The Double-Circulator also has an integrated ionizer to keep the air fresh.

I was afraid of buying the wrong one that has no nature rose smell. It turned out it smells great and feels very absorbent.
Absorbs very well

The Weleda Wild Rose day cream smelt great with a lovely texture. It felt good going on my skin, and I used it to layer on top of my argan oil serum. Both worked well together with no weird reaction. When I have finished with this, I will probably purchase the night cream instead. For my dry/dehydrated skin, I think the night cream may work even better for me.

I am liking "preppy" again! And this shirt is so classic preppy. It matches the human preppy shirts exactly.
It is very comfortable with the wide, loose arms, yet fits very well on the dog/s body. Great colors...all preppy. Would look real cool and fun for owner to wear a matching one.
Pros: Comfortable
Cons: None

I esecially liked the "attention to detail" to it's human version. Has the 2 buttons, collar and not to mention the sleeve/shoulder seams. This would be adorable for you that live on a golf course and take your furry friend for golf cart rides down the fairway.
Pros: Easy to wear
Cons: none known

I have this little polo in green for my rat terrier/corgi abby. It fits her really well which is often hard to find because she is so muscular. It fits well and is nicely made. It doesn't look cheap like so many other doggi clothes do.
Pros: Durable, Cute, Comfertable
Cons: Nothing

Makro have put in a planning to allow expended hours for deliveries, allowing the parking of delivery vehicles, and operating approved plant machinery outside the building.
The current permitted hours are :
0730 – 2100 hrs Monday to Friday
0730 – 1900 hrs on Saturday
0900 – 1730 hrs on Sunday
Makro want to alter that to:
0500 – 2200 hrs Monday to Saturday
0700 – 1900 hrs on Sunday
The application number is 14/00365/FUL and you can find it here.
If you have comments , make sure you submit to the council (you can do it via the link). But any thoughts here would also be welcome.

Whilst this doesn't directly affect me I feel sorry for the people in Rawreth Lane and the houses that back onto the Makro site if this goes ahead. It won't be over pleasant for the people in the new houses should they ever get built either. Hardly a good selling point, big Cash and Carry with delivery lorries coming and going 17 hours a day virtually on the doorstep. I don't really see it can be that necessary. Every time I go to Makro lately it's like a ghost town in there it's so quiet, surprised they can keep going with that level of custom really.↓
Is this to ensure delivery in anticipation of increase traffic due to building work?↓
This will go through – the precedent has been set with ASDA who have deliveries from 7am to 11pm and their service yard in a lot closer to homes than Makros are at the moment (and the decision will be made on how it is now, not in the future)↓
Presumably both RDC planners and ECC Highways will take this large/ heavy/ regular extra loading on Rawreth Lane into account when approving the new Countryside estate junction ( just to the West ) based on the Easter Weeked traffic survey? – and
by the way just a plain old T junction no doubt.
In fact at the Countryside roadshow they said Phase 1 of the building will use the Rawreth Ind Estate existing road – so Macro traffic increase plus large/ heavy/ regular Construction traffic too , get your planning objections ready folks.↓
one point of view could be this would spread out the deliveries not increase them so a good thing↓
How much extra traffic will be created by changing delivery hours? There is only a finite amount of storage space at Makro, and there is no indication that the number of lorries will change. This could very well be a logistical request to give longer hours for the same number of deliveries that currently happen to occur within.
I have to say off late this forum has become incredibly pessimistic!↓
Well said admin↓
Richard lambourne@5 – yes, it may spread out the deliveries rather than increase them. But, do you want to live next door to a site that has large delivery lorries and associated fork lift trucks etc. beeping away from 5am in the morning to 10pm at night.↓
Been there and done it we used to live adjoining Brook Road Industrial estate. Had many run ins with factories and the council.
Moved away so no problem !!!↓
I only found out about this by chance today and I am a little worried. My house looks out onto the fields so anything turning into the Makro road I can hear and see…usually the Amber school buses and skip trucks. I can see why they are doing this…sneaky in my opinion…get in before the new houses are built so people won't be able to complain. It was the same with Asda who tried to increase their opening hours….no one is that desperate for broccoli they can't wait until the next day!! Unlike Asda which is very close to houses, Makro is a bit further back, so I can't see many opposing this plan, apart from maybe the odd few houses backing onto the site….if they know about it. To be fair, I don't hear the delivery lorries often, let alone see them…however, I am usually up and about by 7.30am so don't notice so much…how this would change at 5.30am when everything is a bit quieter, I can't say. I still fail to understand why they need to deliver at 5 in the morning and until 10pm at night 6 days a week anyway…it's just not necessary. As someone else has written, it's always quiet when I've been in there and full of stock, so I don't see any benefit. Maybe they want to deliver before traffic accumulates on Rawreth Lane? Also I worry about the infrastructure of extra lorries thundering along the road. My house is a fair way back from the road and when I'm in my bedroom if a lorry goes past my bed sometimes judders, which just goes to show the weight pressures the road has to cope with. I hope the Council sees sense and rejects this application. The only thing that has changed since 2006 when the Council had the restrictions imposed, is that the road has got busier….and will be even more so, once the new houses and "non cut through, cut through" start to appear.↓
Julie, if you are worried about it go onto the Council website (click the red here at the end of the original post which will take you straight to the application) and object against it. You can object on the grounds of traffic, noise, early morning disturbance etc.↓
Absolutely correct on all levels – " only found out by chance " rings a bell , "before the new houses are built " probably right and of course the 1st phase of new housing will be using the Makro road for Construction traffic entry and exit too – but the big question for a planning objection is – not necessary ?.↓
The last few times I visited Macro's, their shelves has been increasingly empty and business looks poor. So I wonder why they want longer hours now?↓
Let's hope that people who object, and also shop at Makro, vote with their feet and shop elsewhere…..↓
…..and then come redundancies.↓

Fulfillment Started
Hi Everyone,
A little behind schedule (sorry about that) but all the production prototypes, product-packaging, accessories, and shipping packaging have been checked and re-checked, and the final list of quantities and shipping details was sent to the manufacture and fulfillment service on Friday. They have been super responsive and are working as I write. We're hoping they get done in a matter of days.
Luxis will be shipped here individually packaged and addressed (all 7,000 of them) and then they'll go straight to you.
I'm sorry about the delay; I was naive to think I'd be able to ship by May given such a great response to the campaign. I'm working day and night to see that you get them as quickly as possible.
I can't thank you enough for your support, patience, and messages. I really appreciate it,
James Flynn
Creator Rik Cameron on July 23, 2013
I keep checking my mail box & keep coming up with nothing!
Creator Thy Leds on July 23, 2013
What a liar when he sent this update
Creator Jon Ford on July 22, 2013
Hey James, could we get another update, please?
Creator Josh Johnston on July 22, 2013
I think it has been long enough!!
Kickstarter's Terms of Use require creators to fulfill all rewards of their project or refund any backer whose reward they do not or cannot fulfill. (This is what creators see before they launch.) We crafted these terms to create a legal requirement for creators to follow through on their projects, and to give backers a recourse if they don't. We hope that backers will consider using this provision only in cases where they feel that a creator has not made a good faith effort to complete the project and fulfill.
Creator Brian Miller on July 22, 2013
James, any hope for another update? This update saying the item would be shipping is 3 weeks old and I have yet to receive mine and I would love to know what the status is at this point.
Creator Tobias Bisignano on July 22, 2013

Don't be so hard on yourself! What's a 4 week delay on a kickstarter campaign??? A miracle! That's what it is! And all this time you have been up front and forthcoming about where exactly the project was, so I'm with Cam McDuff on this one: give yourself a huge pat on the back! :-)
Creator Cam MacDuff on July 2, 2013
Awesome news James. Well done (pat on back) ;-)
Can't wait for mine.

Thought it was me (ex-nurse), puncdoc, lecturing you about alcohol!
So true, Mrs. Garden. I look even when I don't say anything.
Wondered who Orchid Lady was, 1500 posts and I'd never met her! Hi Tracey!
But who is rosemummy? Am I being dense? Must have met her after 221 posts.
Puncdoc (I'm sure you know already) a125ml glass of red wine has 85 calories. I can't preach because I have wine every evening! But would also like to be lighter.
I was hoping for an early start this morning before the arrival of the heavy rain that is forecast. OH didn't come to bed until after 1am. Why are men so noisy? Or is it just him? So woke at 9am, had 1 sip of coffee and friend rang, spent an hour nattering. Now it's 11.30am and clouds are getting black. Bother.
I get them from a farm supplies shop. I use them for storing my big hay bales on to stop damp getting into the hay from below.
That's it, lily! I just needed reminding. Sometimes my brain is like a dark cupboard. I grope about for something in it that I can't find!
I'm not missing any teeth either, first OH was a dentist, son is a dentist.
Printed recipe for Dove's cake and there was another for rhubarb and ginger cheesecake so printed that too. OH loves rhubarb and ginger.
Sowed some carrots, covered them with fleece. Not done much except lots of ironing, including 2 kingsize duvet covers, felt tired all day.
The first is aquilegia, 2nd is arum (but there are some perennials there too like on the bottom left of photo, also a bramble get it out quick!), the 3rd could be Michaelmas daisies well after finished.
Thanks Cleo, so are yours
The pink ones are a very early flowering prunus shrub, but I've forgotten the name. The white ones are my Napoleon cherry tree, would have been better against a blue sky, which was, unfortunately, not available!
The yellow flowers are epimedium, but this text may not appear in the right place!
First tulips are coming out.
Good morning all. Started sunny 5°, clouds coming. Poured over the weekend, but garden did need watering.
Waiting for man to come and mend the pool pump, an hour late so far, but the French are always late. More expense
Tracey, if you change your name to something weird you must tell us it's you!

Authorities Release David Crosby's 911 Calls After He Hit Jogger While Driving [Audio]
Iconic singer David Crosby hit a jogger on Sunday while driving in California.
Iconic singer David Crosby hit a jogger on Sunday while driving in California.
This is a terrible development in an already tragic story for a family traveling on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway in Maryland and stopping to change a flat tire late Sunday night.
The father, Rick Warren, was fatally struck by a passing car just as he was finishing up the tire swap. His fiancee was also hit, but survived, NBC 4 Washington reported.
The teen-aged daughter frantically called 911 from the back seat as she watched two family members dying on the side of the road.
This morning on "The Free Beer & Hot Wings Morning Show," we had the honor of talking to NFL veteran and United States Marine veteran Jeremy Staat.
Staat's story is pretty incredible.
I can think of no other way to deal with a tardy pizza then to call the police. I would call the FBI or president if I had their numbers but the police is all this guy could think of...
Scott Stapp's downward spiral continues.
Maybe you've tried something clever to try and get out of a ticket before, but you probably weren't as bold as this Florida man.
My cats can control a lot of things in my house but when I can and cannot leave is not one of them. This couple was so afraid of their pet cat that they had to call 911 for help.
A 911 operator is supposed to handle a crisis, not become part of one.
Today marks the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Just like individuals from any profession, many members of the rock + metal community are paying their respects to all who were affected by the tragedies that struck New York City, the Pentagon and United Airlines Flight 93.
9/11 is such a powerful day for me. I'm sure it is for everyone else as well. I want to be a bit candid with regard to this day. A day, that in my mind has forever changed my thought process. I mean come on, I can't remember what I ate last Friday, but I remember exactly when, where, and what I was doing back in 2001.
Wednesday marks the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Memorial services will be held all across the country, many involving a reading of the victims' names.

A proposal to privatize jail health services comes with a potentially steep cost to inmates and the public
Rita Connolly, a registered nurse who has worked with inmates in San Francisco jails since 1985, says she'll never forget the time she had to act fast to save a prisoner's life.
The man had just arrived from a different jail and was waiting to go through intake. He was slumped over and looking ill, too weak to voice a complaint. Several worried inmates beckoned Connolly over, and once she examined him, she realized he was in the midst of a heart attack. He was rushed to the emergency room. He lived — but sustained irreversible heart damage.
"He could have been someone who didn't live," Connolly told the Guardian, but he also could have had a better outcome. The inmate had alerted someone that he was having chest pains earlier in the day, she later learned, as he was boarding a bus from an Alameda County Jail. A medical services worker examined him just before the bus left, but allowed him to proceed. By the time he arrived in San Francisco, the warning signals had progressed to a full-blown heart attack.
The story highlights an extreme example of a trend Connolly said she observes regularly — inmates from counties that use privatized jail health services aren't receiving the same standard of care that San Francisco provides. Sometimes, there are obvious signs that the care is inadequate, placing inmates' health at risk.
Alameda's jail health services contractor, Tennessee-based Prison Health Services Inc. (PHS), has made headlines before for a track record marred by inmate deaths and lawsuits alleging negligence. PHS has expressed interest in contracting with San Francisco if the city opened the door to privatization, which Mayor Gavin Newsom has once again proposed in his latest budget.
That budget also calls for cuts to community-based health and human service programs that threaten to erode the safety net for those battling mental health issues, drug addiction, and chronic health problems, all proposals now being weighed by the Board of Supervisors Budget and Finance Committee.
But it is the debate over whether to make a $11 million cut to jail health services that raises the most thorny and telling questions about what sacrifices are considered acceptable — and what populations can be the most easily targeted — in the quest to balance a budget without the tax increases that Newsom opposes.
In San Francisco, the city's Department of Public Health contracts with the Sheriff's Department to address inmates' medical needs. Privatized jail health care would be cheaper, though by how much is a moving target. But nobody is arguing that the care would be better.
Newsom's budget proposes switching to a private firm as early as January 2011 to help solve a daunting budget deficit. The proposal originated with the Mayor's Office, and Sheriff Mike Hennessey — whose department would realize the potential savings — went along by including the item in his departmental budget.
In years past, the Board of Supervisors has repeatedly resisted the proposal and is likely to do so again — but rejecting it would mean finding up to $11 million in savings elsewhere.
"The fear is that when you bring privatization into the picture, there is a financial pressure to cut corners. And even though that may end up saving some money ... the price that comes with it is too high," Sup. David Campos said at a recent budget hearing. Referencing stories about inmates who died needlessly in jail under the care of for-profit firms, Campos said he isn't willing to risk a similar tragedy occurring in San Francisco.
The proposal has been floated repeatedly since as far back as the early 1990s, according to healthcare workers whose jobs have been jeopardized by privatization before. Newsom proposed the cut last year, and the year before.

You did a lovely job on the lighting and shading, i like the colours, but he's head looks a little out of proportion to the rest of him especially on his thick neck.
Otherwise a very intriguing picture, i also love the muscle tone.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Ryane Clowe was born in the wrong decade.
He should have been recording Gordie Howe hat tricks when Gordie was still playing. Clutch goal? Big hit? Timely fight? Check marks across the board with this dude.
He's a throwback.
"To me, you can be respected and feared at the same time," Sharks GM Doug Wilson told ESPN.com on Friday. "The Larry Robinson or Bob Nystrom type. And Ryane is like that. He plays face up. He won't hit you from behind or the side. He hits you man to man, which I have great respect for. If you want to fight, he'll fight. He just loves to play the game."
Clowe had to love it enough to chase his dream. The son of a snow crab fisherman in Canada's Newfoundland, Clowe has gone from undrafted junior in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League to one of the NHL's premier power forwards.
Oh, it wasn't overnight. There were three years in the AHL learning his craft, then another learning curve once he got to the big show. But 10 years after the Sharks cleverly took a flier on him at 175th overall in the NHL draft, the 28-year-old Clowe has made the long journey from long-shot prospect to pivotal member of a Cup-contending team.
"He deserves all the credit," Wilson said. "This is a guy that nothing has ever been given to him. You like this type of story, a player that took longer but through hard work has become a dominant force in this league. He is certainly one of our most important players and one of our most respected voices in the room. He's a heck of a hockey player."
Clowe is showing that this spring, with four goals and seven points in four playoff games. And a few bodychecks in between. He says he loves this time of year.
"I always admired a guy like Claude Lemieux, who always stepped up and raised his game come playoffs," Clowe told ESPN.com on Friday.
On a line with Logan Couture and Dany Heatley, Clowe's unit has terrorized the Los Angeles Kings in their Western Conference quarterfinal series, one that can end Saturday night with a Game 5 victory by the Sharks.
"He's a lot of fun to play with," Heatley said Friday. "He's so strong on the puck along the wall. He brings guys to him, holds guys off and creates a lot of room for his linemates. Obviously, he's had a great playoff this year."
Credit Sharks coach Todd McLellan for seeing the fit between Clowe and rookie Couture at the start of the season. The pair has been together most of the season and has struck terrific chemistry. Heatley was added in the second half, and the line has been a constant.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Clowe takes it upon himself to protect Couture, in particular.
"I'm Papa Bear this year for him, but it's just a part of my game," Clowe said with a smile. "I take it personally when guys take liberties on teammates."
He also took it personally when the Sharks hit rock bottom in January. In the midst of a season-long six-game losing streak that frayed some nerves in these parts, Clowe blew his lid after a Jan. 3 loss against Vancouver.
"When you work hard and you win, you feel it after a game," Clowe said at the time. "And I guarantee you right now, there's guys who don't feel that tired after this game. It's just terrible."
Not every player can get away with that, but Clowe has earned the right in that dressing room to speak his mind.
"It's not for the outside world. It's the same thing he says in the room," Wilson said. "He speaks from his heart. He plays with his heart."
Clowe said Friday that he usually doesn't lose it like that in front of the media.
"I don't usually speak my mind like that in front of a camera, I'm more behind closed doors, but I don't regret anything," he said. "I said what I had to say. I think the guys respected that. They know I'll tell them face to face first before and they respect that."
The Sharks value that leadership, which is why they stitched an "A" on his jersey at the start of this season.
"He deserved it," Wilson said. "Within our group and our dynamic, it's not just what you say, but it's what you do. You don't have to be wordy to speak volumes."
Being made an alternate captain touched Clowe.
"It meant a lot," he said. "I think it meant more to me because San Jose gave me an opportunity when they drafted me. I worked my way up. I've been with this organization since day one and I take pride in that. To be rewarded with a leadership role was special."
The sacrifices are all in the name of one goal. The big prize. Daniel Cleary of the Detroit Red Wings was the first Newfoundland native to bring the Stanley Cup home in 2008. Clowe admits he's daydreamed of doing the same thing.
"It's hard not to after seeing the support Dan got and the parade and everything," Clowe said. "When you bring it home to a whole province, it was pretty crazy. We've got a pretty good opportunity this year for Newfoundland with [Michael] Ryder in Boston and Cleary again in Detroit. Hopefully somebody brings it home, and hopefully that somebody is me."

Is there no end to the Webkinz phenomenon? Now the home of fine cuisine, Cracker Barrel, is to house an exclusive Webkinz opossum.
There is a huge trend in pets as expression of an owner's image, as epitomized by the trend in pet fashions now available. Does our identification with online animal avatars like Webkinz feed in to this trend and influence us to create animal "familiars"
The Webkinz experience begins when children buy a stuffed animal with a code on the tag that's used to log in to a social networking site. Then they can customize rooms for their pet, and interact with fellow Webkinz owners. As Webkinz celebrates its second birthday, CNET.com's Neha Tiwari takes a look at the popular phenomenon.
Mattel's interactive vinyl figures and new virtual world may appeal to adults as well as kids too old for Webkinz.
Mattel starts selling a new "Barbie Girls" MP3 doll this week, in an attempt to get hip to a generation immersed in technology.
On top of all the duties that moms are supposed to do, some are now babysitting their kids' Webkinz online pets while the children are away at summer camp. In the world of overintensive parenting, this is a good place to draw the line!

OSU New For Foster
Sign-up for HokieHaven.com Wireless Text Alerts sent right to your cell phone!
Sure, the 390 yards total rushing by Navy last Saturday against Ohio State was impressive. But for Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster, the stat equally as important was what the Buckeyes did.
After trailing 7-6 at halftime, Ohio State stormed past the Midshipmen, en route to a 34-17 win. What jumped out to Foster was that after rushing for just 66 yards in the first half, the Buckeyes ran for 128 in the second.
And equally as impressive was the play of redshirt freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett. Thrust into the starting role after the season-ending torn right labrum to senior Braxton Miller, Barrett completed 12 of 15 passes for 226 yards, two touchdowns and an interception to go along with 50 yards rushing against Navy. Barrett's play certainly gives Foster plenty of reason to be ready for a balanced and still potent attack.
"I know they were a little bit disappointed in the first half of the Navy game, but they came out in the second half and probably rushed for about 200 yards in the second half," Foster said. "That's where I'm comparing them to a Georgia Tech. They spread you out, but they wanna run the ball. They rushed for 308 a game last year. That's pretty impressive."
As was pointed out to Foster this week, it's not often that he faces an offense for the first time. And with the ability to run and pass, Foster has plenty to guard against.
"It's a challenge and it's exciting," he said. "They've done a great job. The guy has been good wherever he's been, at Utah, Florida and Bowling Green and now he's at Ohio State. At each place, they've had a dynamic quarterback. They lost their dynamic guy, but this guy's not far behind. He's played one game under his belt, but he's the same guy. He's Braxton Miller as a redshirt freshman. I just want you guys to know, that's who he is."

How To Apply Bollinger Bands® With Metatrader 4: Understanding Bollinger Bands®
Bollinger Bands®, shown in Figure 1, are one of the most widely used volatility indicators in today's market analysis. This technical indicator was developed by John Bollinger in the 1980s. At the time, volatility was generally believed to be static. Price bands had been in existence but typically were created using a moving average and a fixed percentage above and below the moving average to create price bands or moving average envelopes.
Figure 1: Bollinger Bands® applied to a daily chart of the EURUSD currency pair.
One of John Bollinger's challenges was to create a technical trading tool to fill the need for adaptive trading bands that incorporated the concept that volatility was undeniably dynamic. Bollinger focused on volatility as the key variable, and used standard deviation to set band width, rather than the previously used fixed percentage. Bollinger was attracted to standard deviation because of its sensitivity to extreme deviations, resulting in bands that could react quickly to large market moves. By measuring price volatility, Bollinger Bands® became a dynamic indicator that reacts to changing market conditions. When there is more volatility in the markets, the bands widen. Conversely, when there is less volatility, the bands contract.
Calculating Bollinger Bands®
The Bollinger Bands® indicator is a set of three curved lines (bands) that are drawn in relation to an instrument's price (see Figure 1). The middle band is a moving average (MA) that measures the intermediate-term trend, and serves as the basis for the upper and lower bands. The upper and lower bands provide a relative definition of high and low. When price is at the upper band it is considered high; when price is at the lower band it is considered low. The relative distance between the outer bands is determined by volatility. The upper and lower bands are calculated by adding a specified number (N) of standard deviations (usually two) to the MA to create the upper band, and subtracting N standard deviations (usually two) from the MA to create the lower band. The simplified calculation is as follows:
Middle band = N-period simple moving average
Upper band = Middleband + (number of standard deviations x standard deviation)
Lower band = Middle band - (number of standard deviations x standard deviation)
Bollinger Band® Settings
Moving Average
The moving average that is used with Bollinger Bands® should be descriptive of the particular time frame.
In Bollinger's words, "The easiest way to identify the proper average is to choose one that provides support to the correction of the first move up off a bottom. If the average is penetrated by the correction, then the average is too short. If, in turn, the correction falls short of the average, then the average is too long. An average that is correctly chosen will provide support far more often than it is broken."
In other words, Bollinger Bands® will be far more useful when the most appropriate moving average for the instrument and time frame is selected. As a starting point, a 20-period MA works well.
Price Measurement
Another important setting to consider is the measure of price in the calculations. Closing prices are commonly used; however, other methods include typical price and weighted close:
Typical price = (high + low + close) / 3
Weighted close = (high + low + close + close) / 4
Using one method or another is a matter of choice, and very often depends on the particular instrument and timeframe.
Standard Deviations
Traders must also specify the number of standard deviations used in calculating the upper and lower bands. Smaller standard deviations will allow the upper and lower bands to remain closer to price. Conversely, larger standard deviations will result in bands that are further from price. Many traders start with two standard deviations, and venture out from there, in very small increments, such as 1.9 or 2.1, until a desired setting is achieved. MT4 does not allow non-integer values in the Standard Deviation input setting. Traders can use the "Levels" tab to work around this limitation (discussed in the "Customizing Bollinger Bands®" section of this article).

Best Local Cat Gone Good (2013)
Venus the Amazing Chimera Cat
Venus the Amazing Chimera Cat — yes, that's her name — is a striking feline whose face is half-black and half-orange, split right down the middle like a black-and-white cookie. Her eyes are likewise mixed — she's got one blue and one green. One day, a friend of a friend of Venus' owner posted the kitty's picture on Reddit, and it received more than 1 million clicks in less than 24 hours. Soon, a Facebook page was established and garnered more than 100,000 likes; next thing, the cat was making the rounds at Good Morning America and the Today Show. Now, her owner (who goes only by Christina to ward off crazed fans) is cashing in on Venus' devilishly beautiful visage, having followed in the footsteps of Boo the World's Cutest Pomeranian Dog, and struck a deal with stuffed-animal-maker Gund. Although in pictures, Venus sometimes comes off as tough with diamond bling on her collar and a show-off-her-tail attitude, Christina insists she's just another misunderstood supermodel. "She's rather shy; she doesn't do tricks." Look for the toy on store shelves by Christmas.

Narrative poetry tells a story and comprises much of the oral tradition of many cultures. Famous stories, such as the legend of Robin Hood and tales of King Arthur, began as narrative poems that spread by word of mouth before literacy became widespread. Some scholars suggest that the rhythm and rhyme of these poems served as memory aids and allowed them to be passed down with little change through many generations.

In order to properly capture spike-frequency adaptation with a simplified point-neuron model, we study approximations of Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) models including slow currents by exponential integrate-and-fire (EIF) models that incorporate the same types of currents. We optimize the parameters of the EIF models under the external drive consisting of AMPA-type conductance pulses using the current-voltage curves and the van Rossum metric to best capture the subthreshold membrane potential, firing rate, and jump size of the slow current at the neuron's spike times. Our numerical simulations demonstrate that, in addition to these quantities, the approximate EIF-type models faithfully reproduce bifurcation properties of the HH neurons with slow currents, which include spike-frequency adaptation, phase-response curves, critical exponents at the transition between a finite and infinite number of spikes with increasing constant external drive, and bifurcation diagrams of interspike intervals in time-periodically forced models. Dynamics of networks of HH neurons with slow currents can also be approximated by corresponding EIF-type networks, with the approximation being at least statistically accurate over a broad range of Poisson rates of the external drive. For the form of external drive resembling realistic, AMPA-like synaptic conductance response to incoming action potentials, the EIF model affords great savings of computation time as compared with the corresponding HH-type model. Our work shows that the EIF model with additional slow currents is well suited for use in large-scale, point-neuron models in which spike-frequency adaptation is important.

I never thought about buying Garnier skin care products until i was almost out of my Olay cleanser and I was like 'Olay really doesn't have any good cleansers for a 20 year old girl that has combination skin and needs a daily exfoliator'. Most of Olays cleansers are 'anti-aging' 'de-aging' '55 year old wanting 25 year old skin cleanser' 'youthful renewal'. So I just sort of gave up on Olay's cleansers. Now I do use their moisturizers, but their cleansers don't compare to garniers (at least in my opinion).
Ingredients include:
714558 01 aqua water, palmitic acid, myristic acid, lauric acid, potassium hydroxide, stearic acid, peg-7 glyceryl cocoate, sodium cocoam-phoacetate, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, peg-150 distearate, glycerin, dmdm hydantoin, hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde, benzyl salicylate, linalool, propylparaben, parfum/fragrance, pyrus malus/apple fruit water, disodium edta, butylparaben, cetyl hydroxyethelcellulose, vitis vinifera/grape fruit extract, bht, butylphenyl methylpropional, sodium chloride, F.I.L. C25707/1
I am going to honestly admit, and to my own personal dissatisfaction, I am not truly informed about what all of those ingredients mean. Besides glycerin, water, and a few others, most of these ingredients I haven't even heard of. So my review is (as most other reviewers will fail to mention) biased according to my usage of the product, not my knowledge of its ingredients. Which is a bit sad if you think about it. So many women these days buy products that catch their eye as being a good product for their skin's needs and they think it might help their skin function better or stay smoother and cleaner, but do we really know whats in our products? Just some food for thought.
Well anyway beyond my rant, I think its important to include an ingredients list at least if anyone wants to dispute my review, or at least for someone who is interested in using hte product, and has never tried it before and wants to know what exactly is in it.
Okay time for the review:
This cleanser is said to deep clean and detoxify (as in remove the toxins?) and eliminates impurities and moisturizes. I have been using this for a several months now and I can truly say that when I use it in the morning my skin feels so good. Its clearn and its exfoliated, but its not dry or overly tight. (another reason why I choose to stop using Olay's cleansers, the Olay exfoliater is sooo drying!). It definitely is moisturizing, but it doesn't make your skn overly oily either (which is great for normal/combination skin types, like myself). If there was ever a product that I would want to use for the rest of my life, this would be it.
I would recommend this product for normal, normal/combination, and normal/dry skin types. I would not recommend this product to oily and very oily skin types.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm
Hair: Brown, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
I've been using this product for about 9 months now and I have to say I really like it. I have combination skin (very very very very dry cheek/temples, and a pretty oily forehead and chin). I find it really cleans my face well without drying my skin out or leaving it too oily. It thoroughly removes make up (I always wash my face twice when I have make up on to make sure my pores really get cleansed) and it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin at all. I also love it because of the price...I'm a splurger when it comes to make up, skin care, and hair care products, but I find that this works better for me than any of the more expensive face cleansers I've tried.
Overall I would recommend this.
**note i am not prone to break outs...I've never had more than 4 or 5 pimples on my face at a time and I find most of my acne comes from hormonal changes.

I wish there was a maybe option because i might buy this again. A lot of people are comparing it to purity for half the price and I can see that. I think its because like purity it cleanses thoroughly without drying skin out which Is great and it is like only 8 dollars compared to what 30? (However purity is probably more concentrated). I actually have to say that my skin felt a little bit softer than it does with purity but that brings me to what i don't like about it. I think it leaves skin feeling softer because it coats the skin and i personally don't want/need that. I like my skin to be squeaky clean nothing left behind (but not dry). The second thing i don't like about this is it stung my eyes like crazy any time i got it near them, when I say crazy i mean crazy. Probably because of all the heavy fragrance. If it was as gentle as purity on my eyes I would switch to save money.

I like this product, it cleans out my pores without drying my skin. It smells and feels refreshing. I have normal, aging skin.It is thick so it's a little difficult to squeeze out of the tube, but that's not a big deal. I would definitely buy this again!

I do not like this cleanser after one week using it! it make my nose area peel and dry! i change it to the Fresh gel cleanser from the same brand name, it works so much better for me, the Fresh gel cleanser leave no resides and cleanse well without drying my nose area! I follow with Moisture rescue fresh moisturizer without SPF, work well for me.
PS. i am allergic SPF creams and lotions, it clogs my pores!

46 yr old male here. The consistency is like noxema (without the mediciney smell). Nice Light Melon Fragrance. Wash in the morning and throughout the day my face gets more dewy, so I don't even need a moisturizer. Not drying at all. I use it with an extra-gentle buf-puf or spin-brush. A little lathers alot. Always under $6, so one of the cheapest cleansers you'll find out there. Lives up to the name.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Other, Tan, Warm
Hair: Blond, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Blue
I definitely like the results on this products, my face looks flawless after I use it. I don't have sensitive skin at all, but this makes my skin burn. The only way that stops if from the Gel moisture rescue. I personally think they make it that it only works when they're together.. Which is pretty inconvenient.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Dry, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
I really wanted to love this cleanser, because it does a great job of removing makeup and not drying out my skin. But if I use it anywhere near my eyes it stings, it is inconvenient to use this and a separate eye makeup remover, so I will not be repurchasing.

This may just end up being my HG cleanser!! Thanks to Retin A for sun damage my skin had been REALLY dry & flaking, but the other moisturizing cleansers I tried were no match for my EL Double wear foundation (my other HG). This gets my makeup off, and doesn't make my face feel like the Sahara! It is still somewhat dry & I still need moisturizer obviously, but this is a huge step! Also I have to add this is the first cleanser I have bought in a LONG time that does not leave a film of any kind on my face & rinses clean!! I have also used this with my Clarisonic with good results. I hope this helps someone, this product is certainly helping me!

I keep this in my shower, and don't really use it often; however, I do like it, I just don't really like foaming products in general. But sometimes I just *want* that foamy-made-me-completely-clean feel without drying. I think this is good for that. But it does leave the feeling like I just washed with a bar of Ivory soap, kinda *squeaky* clean, which I'm not fond of. But, it doesn't irritate my skin or break me out and it smells nice to me. I really like the gel cream moisturizer under the same branding though.
*removes makeup completely
*doesn't irritate, overdry or break me out
*pricier for drugstore purchase, IMO
*leaves a soapy finsh which I'm not crazy about
*very foamy, only a small amount is needed
I probably won't repurchase because of the soapy filmy factor, but this onne tube is lasting me a super long time, since I don't use it often anyways, and you only need a tiny bit. I think my BF has used more of it than me...

Beinart focuses on the views of privileged Jews in America who are far from their origins. Few have heard relatives speak English with Yiddish accents. These young Jews, who grew up in comfortable suburbs, surrounded by luxury and ease, hold scant empathy for the Israeli settlers saving to add a room or two to their houses to accommodate expanding families.
The new generation is eager to blame Israel first, much as young liberals are eager to blame the United States for the tension and violence in the Middle East. They can't criticize the Palestinians for refusing the generous terms to settle their argument with Israel, offered a decade ago by President Clinton at Camp David, nor do they credit the Israelis for withdrawing from Gaza settlements at considerable sacrifice. When Hamas sent its thanks via deadly rockets, there was no outrage.
Jeffrey Goldberg describes in Atlantic magazine the absence of proportionality in popular blogger attacks on Israel: "The (leftist) rejectionist front facing down Israel has seen every Israeli pullback as a victory not for the principle of compromise, but a victory in their campaign to eradicate Israel."
Reality in the Middle East never remains static, and every generation must forge its response from both experience and history. Aaron David Miller, who was actively engaged in the "peace process" in both Bush administrations and the Clinton administration, now thinks the process should be on hold because big decisions require strong leaders, and there is no Anwar Sadat or Menachim Begin to seize opportunity today. U.S. power is real, but defying and mocking the United States takes no particular courage today. Barack Obama, ever ready with an apology to troublemakers, has already won his Peace Prize.
But hope is not dead. This week, lots of Americans -- young and old, Orthodox, Christian and secular, black, white and other -- celebrated with the Israelis the 62nd birthday of an independent Israel with parades and marching bands. As far as we know, Satan made no appearance, but a helluva good time was had by all.

You Need Balls to Cheat
Published in The Express Tribune, November 22nd, 2010
Like everyone, the devil inside me pushes the mind to cheat, be it in an exam or cutting a long queue at an immigration desk. Why I refuse to fall prey to the devil has little to do with my sense of righteousness, it is an overwhelming fear of being caught. Remove that fear, and I might end up cheating. The twist to this logic is that if I get away with it the first time, I'll be bolder the second time; it's human nature.
This is why in Pakistan the influential elite fearlessly waltz through every sense of order, blatantly challenging authority, knowing their elevated status in society prohibits them from getting caught. Lest they accidentally fall through the cracks, a few bribes are enough to get them back in action. Discipline is kept in check with the imminent fear of being caught, remove that fear and chaos will overwhelm the community.

I Salute, Zulqarnain Haider for not selling Pakistan to Cricketing Bookies
In what may seem to have been a huge controversy yesterday just before the start of Pakistan vs South Africa's 5th and final One Day International in Dubai. Zulqarnain Haider a new wicket keeper for Pakistan quietly skipped out early that morning from Dubai taking to London. Amidst the massive match fixing controversy that has plagued Pakistan Cricket this last year, it seemed that Zulqarnain Haider may too have also fallen astray.
A day later after reaching London he briefly talked to reporters and was guarded in admitted to have been receiving threats from one un-named person to influnence the 4th ODI, which Pakistan spectacularly won two days earlier, and the pressure was on him again to influence the 5th ODI as a pay-back. The only way he thought best was to skip out of Dubai as he could not sell his country, to have said on cricinfo

Shoaib and Shania: What have you unleashed!!
Am I the only one? (I hope not) Who has been disgusted by not only the overzealous coverage of the whole Shoaib Malik – Sania Mirza marriage? On the one hand it's a brief and much needed distraction from all the pointless violence and even more pointless and unexplainable lack of governance that we have to watch parade before us on our television screens. On the other hand it's also quite sad to see some of the actions and reactions of certain individuals. The army of politicians, personalities and well wishers all seem to be nothing more than opportunists trying to jump on the media dubbed, "Shania" bandwagon.
A piece in The News says "love would finally prevail no matter what the enemies did". I wish the same PML-N protestors would show such support of all those young couple who marry out of choice and then have to face the spectre of banishment by their own family at best, or worse declared Kari and hunted down and murdered.
In another piece that was published in the Hindustan Times, the paper claims that "he has personally directed Pakistan's High Commissioner to India, Shahid Malik, to keep a tab on the situation and collect information on the case." If only our foreign minister would instruct our honourable High Commissioner to show the same amount of attention and concern regarding the many hundred of Pakistani nationals languishing in Indian jails even though they have served out their sentences in Indian jails. Further on the articles says that:

Laidback Show Episode 18
PCB Disciplines Seven Cricket Players
My write-up on Cricket Blogger of Pakistan regarding the recent decision by PCB on Younis Khan, Mohd Yousuf, Shahid Afridi, Rana Navid, Kamran Akmal and Umar Akmal – Personally I applaud this decision and fully support the PCB for making a stand against indiscipline. What only concerns me is that it is the very same cricket board that tip-toed around Mohd Asif's Dubai drug arrest, he should have been let to rot in prison in the UAE as he had utterly disgraced the nation – yet he was released from Dubai and allowed to play in the team, then how can we forget the favoritism for Shoaib Akhtar. Both also need to be ushered out of cricket along with these seven disciplined players. Indiscipline is a very worrisome issue for any sporting team and it must be dealt firmly from the very start to prevent future reoccurrances, we all are aware that these issue of indiscipline has more or left been left unchecked which has turned the Pakistan team into a roving team of lunatics. It finally time to hunt for new talent and time to make way for new young and motivated team of cricketers who might concentrate on cricket and cricket alone. Till then sadly we shall be found to rot at the bottom of the ICC rankings table

We are the Twenty20 World Cup Champions !!!
Little words can express the happiness with which I celebrate the fact that Pakistan are the World Champions of the Twenty20 world cup. To have defeated Sri Lanka with a comfortable margin of eight wickets and many balls to spare. Pakistan erupted with a roar of celebrations heard not only in Pakistan but practically every corner of the world where Pakistanis were watching this match.
This victory in my opinion was not only a sporting victory but a godsend for a nation which has been bogged down for months of uncertainty and choas, if anything, the 11 players won it to revive the ailing heartbeat of an entire Pakistani nation, for which we shall be forever grateful.

#PakCricket Appears on Twitter Trending
The #PakCricket twitter rally started late Saturday night an attempt to rally behind the Pakistan Cricket Team when it was due to face the Sri Lankan Cricket team on Sunday in the Twenty20 cricket World Cup at Lords in London.
Simply having the team featuring in the Twenty20 Final was a godsend morale boost for a nation desperately on the look out for good news as it has been a long time have they been able to look beyond the haze of bomb blasts and terroristic attacks.
The digital sphere decided to rally behind a twitter keyword "#PakCricket" aiming to build momentum of patriotism. We finally achieved our goal at 4:30pm Pakistan time when the #PakCricket appeared on the sidebar of the home page of Twitter.com. Since the first time it was spotted it has already climbed to #8 position. Appearing on Twitter trending topic means that one of the most ten talked about topics amongst the millions of conversations on twitter.com is about Pakistan Cricket.

e-Rally in support of Pakistan Team in Twenty20 World Cup Final
Sunday evening the Pakistan Cricket team will face off Sri Lanka at Lords Cricket Stadium for the Twenty20 World Cup Final. Naturally our prayers are with the team, many supporters will actually be at the venue to support the team, while many will rally in front of their TV sets amongst friends and family, rooting for each four and each six that our team may hit against Sri Lanka or for that matter we shall celebrate each Sri Lankan wicket that does find its way into the dressing room.
In an effort to support the Pakistan Cricket team we Pakistanis have decided to initiate an e-rally in an attempt to make a global impact. Our effort is to concentrate around the trending topics of twitter.com. Trending Topics are a mere 10 most talked about items being discussed live on twitter.com at the very moment, if enough people mention a certain keyword enough many times it starts to feature on the home page of twitter.com
The last time we here in Pakistan managed to 'trend' was during the Long March with the keyword '#LongMarch' I like many digital activists in Pakistan believe that this attempt serves many purposes, firstly the world notices that Pakistan is playing a crunch time cricket match, secondly it will serve to uplift the moral of Pakistan which has for sometime been ruthlessly battered amidst bomb blasts and terror strikes thirdly it is important to bring the patriotic spirit back into Pakistanis.
This campaign is NOT about one person, or one team but a true nationwide rallying support. We are aware there is a technological gap that needs to be fulfilled, as not many people are aware of what twitter.com might actually be, this mere inconvenience can easily be overcome.
- Signup to twitter.com using your chosen username and email address
- Upload any picture on your profile but at the moment we would appreciate if you can use this flag of Pakistan for until the cricket match is over [it would be nice if you can leave it one forever]
- Once you sign up all you have to do is type supporting messages for the Pakistan Cricket Team in the limited 140 characters, but in ever message please insert the keyword including the hashtag '#PakCricket'
The best possible time is to use the Hashtag during the match sharing your comments and opinions with the world, quite literally you will have a live commentary feed to millions of people, more updates to follow very soon
Spread this message across Pakistan and the world and lets have all Pakistanis rally for the cricket team whereever they might be
Pakistan Women's Cricket Team beats Sri Lanka by 57-runs in World Cup
Pakistan Women Cricket team has just trumped a 57-run win over Sri Lanka at the Women's World Cup in Sydney.
Pakistan totalled 161-7 from their 50 overs and then bowled out Sri Lanka for just 104, with medium-pacer Qanita Jalil taking 3-33 from eight overs.
Sri Lanka never recovered from losing their first three wickets with only 28 on the board and although captain Shashikala Siriwardene made 58 from 11 balls, she lacked the support necessary to steer them towards their target. She was eventually run out by Javeria Khan and the game ended when Sana Mir, who had contributed an unbeaten 22 earlier in the game, had Sripali Weerakkody caught to finish with figures of 2-18.

Open letter to citizens of Sri Lanka
by Samad Khurram and Sara Seerat
Published in Daily News (Sri Lanka)
This letter is our expression of deep sorrow and grief at the savage attacks on the Sri Lankan cricket team while they were touring our country. As Pakistani citizens, we are shocked, angered, and greatly embarrassed at being the source of such anxiety to the people of Sri Lanka. There never can be a justification for such horrendous acts of violence, and the Pakistani nation strongly condemns this evil act.
The dastardly attacks were carried out by miscreants who do not share the common values that the peaceful citizens of both Sri Lanka and Pakistan cherish and uphold. Pakistan has been the victim of many terrorist attacks in the last few years, and it is evident that this cowardly act was another attempt to cause increased turmoil and chaos in a country that is already suffering through a period of extreme violence and anarchy.
We therefore thank the Sri Lankan team for agreeing to play in Pakistan even when other countries refused citing security concerns. In hindsight, those apprehensions seem very valid, but the courage of the Sri Lankan Cricket Board and players in agreeing to play is laudable, and the nation of Pakistan shall be forever indebted to your country. This tour was crucial for the revival of cricket in Pakistan, and we greatly appreciate your efforts in agreeing to be a part of this process.

How do you prepare mussels
First you need to clean the mussels with little stiff brush to remove any sand and whatever could be sticking to them. Then remove the beard by pulling it off. I like to cook mussels very simply in a big pot with sliced fennel,garlic, parsley, onions, tomatoes and a splash of pernod or licorice flavored liquor and 2 cups white wine. Saute everything except the mussels in a little olive oil. Then add the pernod and give it a few minutes for the alcohol to burn off; then add the wine and bring to a boil. Add the mussels and cover for a minute or two. Check that all mussels are opened. If not, discard. Serve in bowls with the broth.
I often make this simple recipe for mussels simmered in rosé wine
