Level 182 is the twelfth level in Cupcake Circus and the 19th timed level. To pass this level, you must score at least 30,000 points within 120 seconds. When you complete the level, Sugar Crush is activated and will score you additional points.
- The board is made up of quadrants, which makes the creation of colour bombs impossible.[1]
- If the chocolate is not dealt with early on, it will become nearly impossible to clear it later, probably causing you to lose out on points.
- The candy bombs have to be destroyed within 10 moves.
- Four-layered icing will block the flow of candies to the right-hand side of the board.
- The liquorice swirls will continue to spawn as long as one liquorice swirl is not cleared, reducing available board space.
- Despite having five colours, it is still difficult to find any moves.
- The player is required to earn at least 260 points per second.[2][3]
- The first task is to clear the chocolate as soon as possible. If there are no more possible matches at the lower right quadrant, clear the candy bombs instead.
- From there, you can clear all four candy bombs, worth 12,000 points, which means you only have to score 18,000 more points to clear the level. No additional candy bombs will appear, so there is no need to worry after destroying them. However, that also means that you have to be quick and do lots of cascades; it effectively negates this advantage.
- The last thing is to get rid of the 4-layered icing. You do not want to play only on one side of the board, otherwise you will be unable to reach the score requirement, as you're missing half the board's potential.
- Make sure you grab extra time candies on the way. They will really benefit you for this level.
- Make as many cascades, special candies, and combinations as fast as you can.
- If you are completely stressed by this level and cannot beat it, here is an easy way to pass it. If you have a colour bomb booster available, activate it and enter the level. Now, use the colour bomb on a colour that a candy bomb is, too. This will score you near if not over the required score.
Earning More StarsEdit
- The presence of five colours makes it easy to create special candies, cascades and extra time candies. However, it is not that useful as the board layout is rather restricted. Moreover, it is impossible to create colour bombs.
- The player is required to earn at least 340 points per second[4] for two stars.
- The player is required to earn at least 460 points per second[5] for three stars. While the requirement is lower than other timed levels, the board layout and the amount of blockers make it insanely hard to achieve.
- Due to the first point, a colour bomb + candy bomb combination is impossible. Moreover, huge cascades are also insanely hard to achieve which in turn drastically reduces the spawning of extra time candies.
- Despite the presence of four candy bombs, there are no more candy bombs being spawned which means that only 12,000 points can be earned easily. This implies that only 26 seconds can be easily earned[6]
- The chocolate and liquorice swirls will reduce the available board space to create special candies. Even if all the chocolate are cleared, the liquorice swirls are the biggest threat because they will keep spawning as long as one liquorice swirl is not destroyed. This also includes the situation where there are no liquorice swirls on the board. Moreover, they can absorb the effects of all striped candies and their combinations, further reducing the amount of points earned through those.
- Try to clear the chocolate first. If this is not possible, clear the candy bombs.
- Once the above point is completed, destroy the icing to increase board space. If there is a match at the top right board, destroy the liquorice swirls if there is any.
- Always keep the liquorice swirls away from the areas where you want to create special candies or cascades.
- Due to the second point in the reason section, special candies and huge cascades are a must to compensate the time lost due to the clearing of blockers.[7]
- A striped candy gives 120 points per creation and 480 points per activation provided if no liquorice swirl is along the path of activation.
- A wrapped candy gives 200 per creation and 1,080 points per activation even at the corners.
- In addition to the above point, special candy combinations are just as helpful.
- Of the possible special candy combinations, the wrapped candy + striped candy combination is the most useful because it can help the player to clear blockers and candies on three quadrants and does not suffer a significant reduction in points earned due to wrapped candies detonating at the corners.[8] However, liquorice swirls are the biggest threat to that combination because they can absorb the effects of all striped candy combinations.
- This is the first timed quadrant level. The second is level 701.
- Both this level and its Dreamworld counterpart, a very hard candy order level requiring the collection of striped candies, may become much easier with a colour bomb booster, but for different reasons. This one can give many points due to colour bomb + candy bomb combination and its Dreamworld counterpart can cause many striped candies to be collected due to the colour bomb + striped candy combination.
Board Info
- Red line(s) show where the candies and liquorice swirls spawn.
- The regular teleporters having identical numbers indicate where the entry and exit is.
Elements Info
|Element Spawn Notes
Miscellaneous InfoEdit
- ↑ A colour bomb requires five horizontal or vertical spaces, but the longest length is only four spaces.
- ↑ 30,000 points / 120 seconds = 250 points per second
- ↑ This is the theoretical minimum. In practice, extra time candies can be collected, decreasing the amount of points need to be earned per second as the amount of time available is increased.
- ↑ 40,000 points / 120 seconds = 333.33 points per second
- ↑ 55,000 points / 120 seconds = 458.33 points per second
- ↑ 12,000 points / 460 points per second = 26.09 seconds
- ↑ Activation of special candies consume time and that the player cannot make a match till the effect of the special candies end. Hence, additional cascades are also required while the special candies are being used.
- ↑ For wrapped candy + wrapped candy combination, a wrapped candy detonating at the board corner scores only 480, which is less than a standard wrapped candy

PRESIDING: Bruce Brumley, Chair
Bruce Brumley called the meeting to order at 3:42 p.m. in the Chancellor's Conference Room.
The minutes of February 9 were accepted as presented.

Þ Motion by Scott Murray, seconded by Dave Gurchiek to table Items 31 through 31.b.
Item 32 MS in Athletic Training. Modification to an existing program.
Þ Motion by Mark Hardt, seconded by Patricia Vettel-Becker to approve Item 32 on first reading.

Þ Motion carried.
Bruce Brumley reported that he did not attend today's Executive Budget meeting because he was at the Commissioner's listening session. However, the group is prepping materials for the University Budget Committee.
Keith Edgerton and Bruce Brumley reported that the listening session with Commissioner Christian was mostly a meet-and-greet. The issue of intellectual property rights and online courses was mentioned, and Commissioner Christian and President Cruzado are amenable to bring the antiquated policy to the Board of Regents for updating. The Commissioner also said that their number one priority this biennium will be faculty salaries, but fixing compression of faculty salaries would cost $1 million.
Commissioner Christian and President Cruzado both plan visits to the Senate in the Fall 2012 semester.
Mark Pagano reported that the COB Dean Search Committee will be making a recommendation very soon. The Vice Provost search is still waiting for the close of the application period.
After attending the program prioritization summit in Bozeman, we have learned it is not going to be called program prioritization. Instead, we are to work on a strategic plan, and show how all of our programs are tied to the strategic plan. The Provost will be starting a formal process to create a strategic plan and asks for Senate participation. The plan should be finished by the middle of the Fall 2012 semester.
The University Budget Committee met last week and Trudy Collins, Budget Officer, made a presentation about the budgeting process and calendar. All that information is on the Provost's Office website.
The MSUB Extended Campus policy statement should be out very soon.
Regarding the Native American Studies bachelor program and the MPA program, we are working under the assumption that new programs and big changes (like the MPA move to strictly MSUB and not a joint program) will be put on hold until the strategic planning process is complete. The other units of MSU are also under this hold.
A. Student Affairs Reorganization: Stacy Klippenstein, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
Dr. Klippenstein stated that when he arrived here six years ago, the organizational structure of Student Affairs was very flat and had little focus on retention. Through the work with Noel Levitz we are making changes with a focus on recruitment and retention.
A few new positions will be created, including an Executive Director of Enrollment Services, a Dean of Students, and four Student Success Specialists. The Executive Director of Enrollment Services will not be a new line, but rather our Registrar will transition to that role.
The Dean of Students position will be funded entirely by existing funding, fees, and auxiliaries, so no new general funds will be used in the creation of this position. The Dean of Students will cover everything from federal Title IX, student conduct issues, student emergencies, the American Indian Outreach Office, the Office for Community Involvement, the Student Union, student housing, to the campus dining services and more.
The four Student Success Specialists will work with each of the colleges on the east campus to recruit and retain students—to make the connection between Academic Affairs and Student Affairs. In combination with some existing funding in Student Affairs, the Student Success Specialists do represent a new investment of $130,000. That investment will be discussed at the upcoming University Budget Committee meeting.
The childcare center will be undergoing some changes as well, since Billings Catholic Schools is pulling out of our contract with them. The center will be put out to bid, but if we cannot find a satisfactory contractor to run the center, we will have to fund and staff it ourselves. It was noted that there are opportunities to partner with the College of Education, who used to run the campus childcare center years ago before it was cut from the budget.
Dr. Klippenstein stated that once all of the Student Affairs staff have been notified of the changes to the organizational structure, he can get a chart to the Senate about how the new structure will look.
It was cited that the distinction must be made very clear between the Deans of the academic colleges and the Dean of Students, especially after the objections to having a Dean for the College of Professional Studies and Lifelong Learning, which had no academic programs.
B. Honors Program Funding
This will be postponed until the Director can be present.
C. New Faculty Lines to Staff Existing Programs and Restoration of Old Lines to Existing Programs
This is part of a greater issue of fewer faculty with greater responsibilities. We need data from each college showing how many faculty lines have been lost since 1982. However, first we need to create a list of issues such as faculty load in relation to lost lines. Sandie Rietz agreed to collect and organize the issues list.
Þ Motion by Scott Murray, seconded by Dave Gurchiek to take Items 31 through 31.b up from the table.
Þ Motion to approve on first reading carried.
Þ Motion by Sandie Rietz, seconded by Doug Brown to waive second reading of Items 31 through 31.b.
Þ Motion carried.
The meeting adjourned at 5:03 p.m.

Maddie, Hannah, Tori, Lauren, Cassidy and I went into the girl's locker room and did the same thing. We all met outside by the pool. Michael looked like he had WAY too much sunscreen on even though it was shampoo and conditioner. The lifeguard was right by us so we had to pretend is was sunscreen. Then, when we all of us went down the slides we went really fast. We we're afraid that we would get in trouble because when all of us were in the pool by the slides, there were soap suds everywhere around us.

Artists Statement
I can't help smiling when I recall seeing
the bright colors of my first childhood
garden, or discovering amazing designs
in the core of rocks I cracked open with
my father's hammer. Popsicle sticks and
rubber bands became my first sculptures.
sometimes my mother was watching
nearby, shaking her head with apparent
concern for my future--and she still may
be. Because now,as an adult artist,
I still play like I am a child.
Intuition, memory and grateful humility
of purpose are involved in the vocabulary
process of my work; the same
interconnectedness of the natural
forms, colors and spaces of our
universal environment and higher
consciousness toward ourselves
and each other.
I enjovy investigating the timelessness of what I call the natural forms of music and rhythm within our universe: the ebb and flow of tides, the movement of our planet around its axis, nature's woundrous beaauty, and the constancy of change.
My art pursues light, shape, space and time through the use of color and organic, abstract, and geometric forms. I seek to explore the interconnection between all people and our environment; the harmony and conflict, chaos and balance. My intent is to give motion and buoyancy to combinations of shapes, filling them with symbolic energy and a feeling they are about to take flight.
Through the use and of steel, wood, aluminium, copper, bronze, dyes and paint, I aim to create a sense of surprise, tension, humor and vulnerability - reflecting a balance of life and my personal belief in joy, love and the spontaneity of discovery.

In 2007, Chef Josh Henderson created Skillet Street Food in Seattle, one of the first experiences in the national street food movement sweeping the country. Out of a vintage Airstream trailer, he developed innovative lunch menus based on American-inspired food prepared with classic technique and seasonal ingredients. The reception from Seattleites was immediate and passionate. Since then, Skillet has grown up. Today Skillet incudes two successful food trucks, a thriving catering enterprise, a brick-and-mortar restaurant rated among Seattle's best, and a food products business — distributing its signature Bacon Jam and Pumpkin Sauce products through retailers across the US and Canada.
Skillet Counter is the latest addition to the family, once again providing great food prepared with care, technique and the best of ingredients, along with the innovative experience Skillet fans have come to expect. The menu offers signature Skillet items and a few exciting "counter" additions. Think Modern American Diner…classic comfort food reimaged…like the skillet burger with bacon jam, pork belly and cornmeal waffle…and much more.
Skillet has been seen in Real Simple, The New York Times, Ad Age, GQ, Martha Stewart Living, Sunset, Bon Appetit, The Today Show, Good Morning America, Seattle Magazine, Seattle Metropolitan Magazine and many other local and national publications, reviews and broadcasts.

Consider this: how many of you are left-handed? Of those of you who are, how many times a day are you reminded that you are left-handed? At every meal when you sit next to a right-handed person and bump elbows? When you use scissors? When you write? When you shake hands?
Now, how many of you are right-handed? Chances are you never have to think about being right-handed. Most of us are right-handed. The world is set up for right-handed people. This isn't necessarily bad. It just is.
The problem starts when the practical application of an economy of scale slides into a value judgment, when the majority's physical characteristic shifts from an objective fact to a subjective model of what is proper and good.
Right-handed people become a privileged group. Left-handedness becomes not a simple handedness but something of less value, limited accessibility in the right-handed world, and sometimes even a character flaw. We speak of "left-handed compliments," the word "sinister" derives from the Latin for "left," and some of us are old enough to remember when parents and teachers would try to force left-handed children to use their right hands.
I use this illustration as a way to start to look at some of the complicated issues involved in this church's uneven, and still incomplete, effort to be a truly diverse and multicultural people.
We see the glorious vision of redeemed humanity "from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb" (Revelation 7:9), but do not see this reflected in our communities of faith. The U.S. is becoming increasingly diverse. Your children's or your grandchildren's soccer team might more accurately reflect local demographics than Sunday mornings at church.

Can You Use a Refrigerator as a Faraday Cage?
Earlier this week a New York Times article claimed that NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden asked a group of lawyers visiting him to put their cell phones in the refrigerator—the idea being that it would act as a Faraday cage. But does it actually work?

The history of spermine biochemistry goes back more than 300 years. When Antoni van Leeuwenhoek looked at human semen through the lenses of his microscope in 1678, he noted the formation of crystals in aging sperm. More than 200 years later, the basic component of these phosphate crystals was named spermine, after the source [Galston90].

Obtaining high-quality, intact DNA is often the first and most critical step in many fundamental molecular biology applications, such as DNA cloning, sequencing, PCR, and electrophoresis. Isolating intact total DNA from tissue samples varies in difficulty with the physical and biochemical nature of the tissue. For example, many DNA extraction methods will work equally well for tissues such as liver, but fibrous tissues such as heart, fatty tissues such as brain, and nuclease-rich tissues like spleen present challenges for DNA isolation. We offer a wide range of Invitrogen® DNA extraction from tissue kits, plus the support you may need to get high yields of pure, intact DNA from almost any type of tissue.

Nine-year-old Justice Williams (pictured center) was found hanging in the bathroom of her Bronx, N. Y., home on Sunday night.
Police investigators suspect that the child committed suicide after she repeatedly told relatives she wanted to die and had problems adjusting to the birth of her half-brother, reports the New York Daily News.
Williams' mother, Tamiqua Torres, 31 (pictured left), made the grizzly discovery when she went to check on why her daughter was taking so long in the shower. Upon entering the bathroom, Torres found her little girl with a white cloth strung around her neck and dangling from the metal shower door frame. Williams was taken to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead 12 minutes after she arrived.
The fourth grader had actually been undergoing therapy after she revealed her death wish to her mother and stepfather as soon as she found out about the pregnancy. Williams then reportedly could not cope with the birth of her half-sibling. Torres had the baby eight months ago with her husband.
According to police, Williams fared well in school and was not the victim of bullying.

From: Jewel Fleetwood
Today people of all ages seem to have more choices than ever before. How do you know you are making a right choice?
There seems to be a current philosophy in America that says times are changing and so we must change with the times. Why?
What is your current standard for making decisions and right choices? Is it an earthly judge's decision that says the law is thus and so? Or do you have a higher standard: God's standard?
One issue now is same-sex marriage. If I may, I will give you my view. You are welcome to your own. I believe same-sex marriage is a sin and is wrong in God's eyes if it is as stated in Leviticus 18:22 and Romans 1:22-32.
Today it seems that many raise their voices to do what pleases them and persistently insist they have their own way. In many cases, choices, in my view, are wrong morally and/or spiritually, and I believe weakens the morality of America and the world.
I believe God has kept Americans atop the world in many ways because we gave our allegiance to him. Are we now slipping away from righteousness? Are we now engaged more in what pleases us than what pleases God?
Finally, we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. I believe one of the best ways to honor God is to repent of our sins, be baptized and proclaim Jesus as our Lord and savior, receiving the Holy Spirit that helps us make the right choices.
In the 120 years or less you have to live, how much of the 1,440 minutes each day do you spend planning for eternity? I do hope you are planning to meet God. He is planning to meet you.

Storm, Clear Channel UK's premium digital out-of-home brand, has hired the BlowUp Media sales director, Aimee McKay, as director, as BlowUp Media hires Kinetic's Simon Russell as head of sales.
McKay will lead the Storm brand and report to the Clear Channel UK commercial director, Chris Pelekanou. She will start in early 2015 and in the meantime, the Clear Channel sales director, Martin Corke, will lead Storm.
It is a return to Clear Channel for McKay, who spent 13 years there in a number of senior roles before leaving for BlowUP Media in 2011.
Pelekanou said: "Aimee's deep understanding and knowledge of out-of-home media makes her the ideal person to accelerate Storm's success and take the proposition to the next level."
Russell is stepping into McKay's shoes after ten years with Kinetic, latterly as a group account director. Prior to Kinetic, Russell spent four years at Carat Business.
Katrin Robertson, the chief executive at BlowUp Media, said: "As well as driving sales, Simon will help us position BlowUp media on the radar of many more clients and agencies."

STRANGE'S EMMYS, MONDAY STRANGIES, CHARLIE SHEEN ROAST September 19 2011
September Strangies: Leno 3, Fallon 2, Kimmel 2, Ferguson 2, O'Brien 2, Letterman 1, Colbert 1
By Strange de Jim
Beep beep! Love from Strange
Monday, September 19
Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen
12. Charlie Sheen: I personally asked William Shatner to be here because I needed the clean urine. I had to wring it out of the diaper, but it did the job.
11. Charlie Sheen: I'm still Charlie Sheen, and in my chest is an eternal fire. I just have to remember to keep it away from the crack pipe.
10. William Shatner: Charlie, let me give you my biggest piece of advice. Don't forget to book your next rehab stay through Priceline.com.
9. Anthony Jeselnik: Charlie, you've convinced more women to have abortions than the prenatal test for Down's syndrome.
8. Jeff Ross: Charlie, don't you want to live to see your kids' first 12 steps?
7. Amy Schumer: After all those years of abusing your lungs, your liver, your kidneys, the only thing you've had removed is your kids.
6. Seth MacFarlane: Seth: Mike Tyson has beaten every opponent he's ever gone up against, except the letter "S."
5. Seth MacFarlane: He's the reason a penis with cocaine on it is called a Sheenis.
4. Seth MacFarlane: For Charlie Sheen's obituary I just used Amy Winehouse's. I only had to change 3 things: the sex of the deceased, the location of the body, and "a talent that will be missed."
3. Jeff Ross: Charlie's nostrils are so snotty and full of coke he calls them the Hilton sisters.
2. Charlie Sheen: Over the years I've hung out with some shady characters: drug dealers, losers, desperate whores. But to have you all here on one night is really special.
1. Amy Schumer: You're just like Bruce Willis. You were big in the '80s and now your old slot's being filled with Ashton Kutcher.
Monday, September 19
(Stewart, Colbert & Fallon in reruns.)
10. Jimmy Kimmel: Because they have Chaz Bono on, "Dancing with the Stars" is being accused of having a gay agenda. It's a ballroom dancing competition. Of course they have a gay agenda. They put football players in sparkly costumes. Besides, Chaz Bono is a gay woman who gave it up to become a straight man.
9. Craig Ferguson: "The Playboy Club" is a racy show. The actresses had to sign a nudity clause. "Nudity Claus" is the name of a Christmas porno film I made. I play Santa. I enter through the chimney. I've got my big sack.
8. Jay Leno: The world's largest sperm bank is turning away redheaded men, because parents don't want redheaded babies. That shows you how much damage one Vegas prop comic can do.
7. Craig Ferguson: I'm interviewed in the December issue of "Playboy Magazine." I didn't realize it was an interview, though, so I showed up nude. But I do that for most interviews. It got me banned from "The View."
6. Jimmy Kimmel: I always pick the "Dancing with the Stars" winner before I've seen any of them dance, and I've been right 5 out of 8 times, which is why they call me Nostradancemus. [This time he picked David Arquette.]
5. Craig Ferguson: If I were in charge of a time capsule what would I put in it? Justin Bieber.
4. Conan O'Brien: A new site is offering sex toys to religiously observant Jews. Most popular item is a vibrator called Diddler on the Roof.
3. Craig Ferguson: Tonight was "2 1/2 Men" and "Dancing with the Stars." I always get Ashton Kutcher and Chaz Bono confused. One of them's married to Cher, right?
2. David Letterman: Regis Philbin, who's been fired and will soon be off the air, threw out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium. He has a great arm. Couple of years age he threw out Kathie Lee.
1. Conan O'Brien: The world's largest sperm bank is no longer accepting donations from men with red hair because of low demand. As a result, this week my neighborhood Salvation Army is going to get a very interesting donation. But what are people seeing night after night that's making redheads so unpopular?
Sunday, September 18 Emmys
3. Presenter Jon Cryer: I was in "Pretty in Pink."
Ashton Kutcher: And I'm not Charlie Sheen. And I want to tell you, Jon, I don't think you're a troll. [Charlie Sheen had called him that in one of his rants.]
Jon [hugging Ashton]: Oh, thank you!
2. Host Jane Lynch: There's Betty White. She's the reason we're here at 5:00.
1. Host Jane Lynch: Many people ask me why I'm lesbian. Ladies and gentlemen, the cast of "Entourage."
In Memorium: The singing of "Hallelujah" is spectacular
Stories I Only Tell My Friends by Rob Lowe, Henry Holt and Company 2011
Page 233- Finally, in the club, I was approached by two girls who wanted me to join them back at their place. This being most 24-year-old guys' dream scenario, I suggested we reconvene at my suite. Having just received the third degree from the doorman, it never occurred to me that there could be anyone in the club who wasn't of age.

My baby had diaper rash. What do I do?
My daughter has had a diaper rash for about a week now. It isn't really getting any worse but it isn't getting any better either. I changed diapers because I was using cheap ones and I thought maybe they were irritating her skin. This didn't help. I have been putting desitin on her during her changes but this isn't helping either. I change her diaper about every two hours so I'm pretty sure she gets changed enough. Right now, I'm trying to give her some time for her to dry out really well when I change her diapers. I'm starting to run out of ideas on how to get rid of this thing. Does anyone else have any ideas?

I also used everything, my daughter had a terrible butt rash! I even had creams send to me from Poland. Nothing worked. I gave up and just started to use water, I washed her but with water all the time then just let her just lay without the diaper until her butt dries, then don't put anything on your baby butt. you can use any diaper brand you can afford, her rash totally disappeared forever! Now I only use baby wipes brand "pampers" they are working great they are super soft and slippery they don't scrub her butt and give her rash like Huggins did they were terrible they are like a scrubbing paper for my daughters butt and scrub her butt she gets rash from them. I don't use them anymore I only use pampers wipes soon after the rash disappeared from me washing her with just plain water to get rid of the rash. Don't use creams on you baby's butt because you are getting their skin get used to it and when u don't have it or don't put it on they get the rash back because the skin is used itposted 02/25/2013 by Kamila.foxon
my little one has a really bad nappy rash and i have been using cornflour in a clean old powder bottle for the last three days and there has been a huge improvement. you can also try leaving your baby nappy less for an hour or so a day. they are old remedies but do work in a way. let me know if this helps you.posted 01/09/2013 by kellyannerasmus

im currently using bepanthen after every nappy changes and has works wonders for my boy.posted 10/12/2012 by nkame
I have found that naked time works pretty well. It is starting to get cold where were are, so I usually put her in a warm robe and slippers and let her kick away for a while. The cool air seems to really help. When I can't let her be naked, I like to use a cloth to pat her skin dry after wiping her clean, then I sprinkle and spread around some Johnson's baby powder with Aloe and Vitamin E. That little ritual helped my daughters first and only case of diaper rash get and STAY GONE. Best of luck!posted 10/04/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Being a first time mom, i was mortified when i saw the amount of rash on my daughter's little behind right from around the 1st week of her birth till she was around a month and a half. No amount of diaper rash cream or wet wipes were helping and everytime she peed, she would cry. The only product that helped me was "Petroleum Jelly", (Vaseline/herbolene) and offcourse washing her bottom with plain water every time she pees and with a little bit of soap for the other times.... I can now see a nice, clear soft baby bottom :) Hope this helps!!posted 10/02/2012 by Sinik
The BEST treatment for diaper rash is Sudocrem. I used it every day on my baby and we never even got a hint of diaper rash !!! Sudocrem is basically the same as Triple Paste, only it's way cheaper, plus has more of the active ingredient zinc oxide (15% as opposed to 12%). Sudocrem is available only in UK and Canada, but you can also get it in USA through Ebay. Most ebay sellers will charge you shipping, as of course they aren't selling from USA. BUT there is one seller who sells from USA, so shipping is cheap and the link is here: Sudocrem 250g - world's best diaper rash cream. Highest qty of zinc oxide http://www.ebay.com/itm/180953432042?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649posted 08/23/2012 by MaxineRyder
I have read that sometimes persistent diaper rash is the result of food allergies/intolerances. Have you considered simplifying her diet to see if there is a food source that is the problem?posted 08/22/2012 by jenyjeanpoulson
use cornstarch at eveydiaper change, it really works and helps soak up the wetness, you will notice within the first diaper changeposted 08/21/2012 by margehashey

I've wanted to start a thread like this for a little while, and the DF4 vs Kimera thread got me thinking about it again.
Would anybody who has used one of the top-end track frames post a review of it? I know fit will make or break a bike, but assuming each bike has ideal stack/reach for you, what are the pros and cons of each one? I've heard some frames are flexy, some have seatpost or saddle slip issues, some have funky geometry, so I'd like to see if we can cull all this info down in one area.

Gourami advice?
As you all know ived been making different threads to see all of my options for the ten gallon tank i own its stocked with two tadpoles so i need peacefull species :3 or if their aggressive atleast interesting :3 well i was thinking about one of these because i heard they spit out water :3 but i also heard there are some that die off within the month or year D: and i was thinking of getting some sort of ram but idk because idk if it has that interesting/smart/dog like thing a bigger cichlid would so i went on to the next best thing :3 any ideas?
the gourami that dies so fast is the chocolate gourami they arnt very hardy
id get the ram
they are smart/interesting/dog like (you can take them on walks :P )
and they look great :lol:
The Ram is also a very sensitive species of FW fish, compared to most fish regularly offered for sale. If you are a fishkeeper who is still "asking for help", so to speak, then a Ram is probably not a good choice.
i have a blue ram and he is very hardy
it all in were you get it :lol:
this is what it looked like when i got it
now :lol:
That's a beautiful fish. I want one!
yea :lol: :lol:
If you only get one he won't be aggressive.
But if you want a fish that follows you, lol you can never go wrong with guppies. They almost creep me out sometimes. I have a ten gallon with guppies right beside my bed and when I wake up in the morning and open my eyes all I see are little guppy faces swimming against the glass with their mouths going as if they are like "Feed me! Feed me!!"
But I always wonder how long they have been watching me for... :?
lol thats what my ram does
freaky :twisted: :?

I just finished watching the Dawn of the Dead remake and it got me thinking. In the event of sudden catastrophic zombie outbreak, what would you do to make your home zombie-proof? Would you migrate to a mall like the people in the movie? Would you ditch the bike for a semi-truck?
Assume that the zombies are running zombies and if they get to you, you're screwed.
I thought it might be a good idea to set yourself up in a place like WalMart, or a hardware store. You could barricade yourself inside and construct primitive medieval fortifications.

Louis Armstrong said it best: "If you have to ask what Jazz is, you'll never know." Here are some of the greatest jazz artists of the 20th century - from the early pioneers through Be Bop and on to more progressive musicians - in 17 rare, vintage performances.
Many of these numbers were performed live on TV and have never been available before. As a special bonus, there's All This Jazz, a fascinating overview featuring commentary from jazz greats Red Holloway, Ernie Watts and Gerald Wilson.

Hulu Announces Second Season of 'The Awesomes'
This week, Hulu announced its original programming lineup for 2014, including a second season of Seth Meyers' hit animated series The Awesomes.
"Originals are a rapidly expanding part of Hulu's business," Charlotte Koh, head of development, Hulu Originals, said in a statement. "We're excited to offer our users an exclusive variety of distinctive, smart, and entertaining shows in 2014 that showcase some of the best talent making television today, both in the U.S. and around the world."
Billed as an animated show for adults that combines comic book storytelling with the irreverent comedy of show co-creators Seth Meyers and Michael Shoemaker (Late Night with Seth Meyers), The Awesomes is a story about the greatest superhero team in history and what happens after all the most powerful members leave.
With 10 new episodes debuting this summer, season two is set to feature new supervillains and superheroes as the team takes on new challenges, which might include an unexpected love triangle, under the leadership of Professor Doctor Awesome ("Prock"), voiced by Meyers. Meyers and Shoemaker's friends from the comedy world will return to voice the team, including Ike Barinholtz (Muscleman), Kenan Thompson (Impresario), Paula Pell (Gadget Gal), Taran Killam (Frantic) and more. Season two will be executive produced by Meyers, Shoemaker and Broadway Video's Andrew Singer.
The Awesomes is a Hulu co-production with Broadway Video (Saturday Night Live), animated by Bento Box Entertainment (Bob's Burgers).

text: Home Culture Study: 1 in 4 Black Students Suspended More data -- and more bad news -- about racial disparities in punitive school discipline measures. By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: April 9 2013 10:44 AM 0 Thinkstock Images Two reports released on Monday contain more data -- and more bad news -- about the racial disparities in punitive school discipline measures that many believe are just the first stop on the "school-to-prison pipeline," the Huffington Post reports. According to the Center for Civil Rights Remedies at the UCLA Civil Rights Project, 24 percent of black students were suspended at least once in the 2009-2010 school year, compared with 7.1 percent of white students. Worse, experts say that poor and African-American students are likely to receive harsher penalties. The effects of the disparities are also believed to extend beyond school discipline and actually fuel the academic achievement gap. From the Huffington Post: For years, education advocates have highlighted the dire importance of closing the achievement gap of academic performance between students of different ethnic and socioeconomic groups. Now, another group of advocates is drawing attention to the discipline gap of unequal punishments to different groups of students. The Center for Civil Rights Remedies at the University of California, Los Angeles Civil Rights Project, released two reports on Monday that show the increasing gap between suspension rates of black and white students. One million -- or one in nine -- middle school and high school students were suspended in 2009-2010, including 24 percent of black students and 7.1 percent of white students. Most of the suspensions came not in response to violent behavior, but for minor infractions such as dress code violations or lateness. The research also found that suspensions increase the likelihood kids will drop out of school and commit crimes. School districts that suspend students are hurting themselves, said Damon Hewitt, the director of education practice for the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund. "You can't close achievement gaps if you have a discipline gap at the same time," he said. Read more at the Huffington Post. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

Although it's not reporting the terms of the offer, ESPN.com is reporting that the Tigers have made an offer to Johnny Damon. In the same article it is also reported that the Atlanta Braves remain interested in Damon, but no further details are provided so the latter may only be speculation.
Yankee fans will be paying close attention to the size of any deal Damon signs. If Damon signs with the Tigers then Detroit GM Dave Dombrowski will be making an early push for being the Not GM of the Year. Dombrowski had young, affordable left-handed Curtis Granderson earlier this offseason. Now he may be about to replace him with old, greedy left-handed Johnny Damon.

I've talked about this here a little bit before, but most of the debate is over at Elizabeth Hillgrove's blog where she has a whole category for all things bikini related. Click here and scroll down for her thoughts (about both female and male modesty in swimwear), lots of combox discussion and some links to others defending the bikini.
Given this ongoing debate, I thought it was funny today when I came across a video in which widely popular YouTuber Philip DeFranco attempts to answer a viewer who asks: "Bra n Panties vs. Swimwear, What's the Dif? Help Me Out"
I think DeFranco's viewer's question is on the right track, but should be flipped around. He asks: if there's no difference in coverage, why is it unacceptable for women to go out in their underwear? When it should be: if there's no difference in coverage why is it acceptable for women to go out in bikinis when they wouldn't go out in their underwear? When and why did this style of bathing attire become so mainstream? Does being made of different material and having a different purpose really make that big of a…well, difference?
Once again, what do you think? Some of you might not care, but of all the modesty debates I've seen, I think this is probably the most worthy of being discussed. We're not just talking about whether something is a little too short or low-cut, but literally whether it's appropriate to leave the house wearing nothing but your underwear.
DeFranco's video actually unintentionally answers the flipped question. He says there is no difference and the topic caused him to think about naked women.
So, if you want a guy to think of you as a sex object…
Christina: thank you for pointing out what he said about thinking about naked women. I thought about mentioning that myself, but didn't for some reason. Might do a quick edit and put that in there.
Well, if a young man is outside in a pair of swim trunks, he is often showing about the same amount of skin as if he were in his boxers. (And it's true even if he wears a shirt: he looks like he's in his undershirt and boxer shorts.)
I suppose a key difference is that the fabric of a swimsuit makes it seem as though this is okay to be seen in public, whereas the fabric that says "this is underwear" tells us we shouldn't be seeing it. So, while a young man or woman wearing average beachwear isn't covering any more skin than a young man or woman just in underclothes, the sight of one just wearing underclothes appears more risque. That's my theory.

"What do you mean what if? Oh wait, sorry, a what if does exist." Bowpurity answered before thinking.
"Well, if by chance we find the artifact, we probably won't even know it unless it's in a box labeled 'artifact'. Do you know what it is Ken?"
Ken shook his head.
"Bah." Bowpurity continued. "But before that if, there's another if, the 'if' i can find any information about lebeau, which has a very good probability. Then we'll see if he's still in town, and if he's not, we have to track him down then. But let's narrow it down to what really matters, how we shall obtain the artifact. There is a chance where we might be able to steal it, in that scenario, we run like hell itself is snapping at our feet!"
"But most likely, there will be a confrontation, where we will have to fight him. Now, Lebeau uses daggers, and he uses his hands."
"His hands? Like those martial artists in gowen?" Ken asked.
"No, he uses his hands like a sword. he can penetrate a human body with his hands. Also, this is probably your first time fighting lebeau. Well, he has insane speed. Like he can move 500 meters in less then a second."
"How do you know this?" Keladry asked.
"I fought with him once, pesky **** followed me everywhere, till i got fed up and waited in the middle of a swamp by sheer coincidence. So we met, we fought and i won, but the only reason i did was because the swamp slowed down his movements enough for me to react and he was not aiming to kill me. Still, even in a swamp, he moved as fast as a horse in full gallop, a very scary opponent, if the fight lasted for a while longer, i was sure i would have lost."
"You let him live? That was a foolish move." Keladry asked.
"Well, i was fairly sure the 5 arrows i shot into his head would seal the deal. So when we fight him, he will aim for either me, Keladry or Ken. After his first hit, he'll next aim for either Daniel or Ursi. Now, we have an advantage since we know that he can move fast, and Keladry has a shield. If he attacks Keladry first, i'm hoping that Keladry shield will surprise him long enough for me to get in a few arrows.
"Keladry has a shield?" Merrissa asked.
"Yea, an invisible shield, anyway, If he attacks me first, i'll use my staff, and it's game over. If he attacks Ken first..... well buddy, your on your own, the only thing that i can tell you is, prepare your sword early, you won't be able to use it to surprise him. Next if he attacks Ken, and i'm guessing that Daniel will ride shock into the air, he'll aim for Ursi next."
He stared long and hard into Ursi eyes, before speaking.
"Ursi, when you see Lebeau disappear, i want you to throw yourself forward, like your dodging a blow from behind. If you hesitate, your life will be lost. Do you understand?"
Seeing Ursi nod, he turned his attention back to the road.
"After that, it is anyone's game. If we thread carefully, and defensively, we'll come out on top, hopefully without anyone dying. Anyone have anything else to add?"
Keladry scoffed. "You are lying, if you truly fought and killed Lebeau, how is it that he is still alive?"
"I have no idea, although i can venture a few guesses. At first i thought that it could not be done myself."
Ken interrupted Bow before he could say anything else.
"We should set camp. The sun is setting."
Bow got off his horse and started taking his tent out of his pack, still in deep thought.
The party set up tents at a clearing beside the road. They collected firewood and set up a fire and settled down.
After eating his rations, for some reason, Bow did not say anything and instead took out a book and started writing.
Naturally curious, Ursi asked Bow about the book.
"Ah this? I'm writing down records of the latest and second world that i have visited, so that i do not forget it."
Confused, Ursi asked again.
"Well, you see, there are many worlds out there, and they are connected to the world we are now, it seems that the gateway between worlds are magic circles, which magic circles look like normal magic teleportation circles. So far, i have visited two. I know of the existance of another one which i haven't explored, and i'm also on the look out for more magic circles. In this book, i'm writing the events that happened to me on my trip to the second world, where i stayed for 3 months. I'm also detailing the rules of the world."
Ursi was still confused, but did not ask any questions.
The order of the night watch is........ 1) Bowpurity (whom voluntered in order to keep writing) 2) Merrissa (whom volunteered because she wanted to talk to Bow) 3) Ken 4) Daniel 5) Keladry 6) Ursi

WhatsApp Messenger is cross-platform which allows you to exchange messages with your contacts without paying for texts. Whatsapp is a great solution for free communication with your contacts on BBM. Due to the inability to install BBM for iphone this is a great alternative to have bbm for iphone. WhatsApp messenger is available on every platform including iPhone, blackberry, android, and Windows phone.
Stop wasting your time trying to find a way to install BBM for iPhone. There are 100's of videos and blogs claiming to have a way to get BBM for iPhone, but there is a licensing problem from blackberry to enable you to do this. Most likely there will never be a BBM for iPhone, so WhatsApp is a great free and easy solution to this problem.
WhatsApp is full of features such as texting, MMS, and group chat for all platforms.

On October 2, I will complete the 50 mile portion of the Tour de Poway to meet the ride age in miles challenge (I'll have to add five miles later in the day, I suppose).
My birthday will be October 19th.
I would love to have any and all cyber friends from the BF riding along with me, virtually, of course. I approach this ride with excitement, some skepticism, and mostly, great aniticipation.
The ride is described as: "50 Mile- start 8:00 am. Begins same as the 62 mile course into Ramona down Highland Valley Road, meets up with 62 mile course in Rancho Bernardo. Over 2,000 ft of climbing and two aid stations. Wrist bands will be required for cyclists to ride the grade."
Hmm...do those wrist bands make it any easier???

|Super-Size Me!: "Big Bina Butterflies," at the Bucktown Center for the Arts through November 28
|Art - Feature Stories
|Written by Mike Schulz
|Wednesday, 08 October 2008 02:40
Some collectors purchase artworks to accentuate a room. The pieces in Delores De Wilde Bina's current exhibition at the Bucktown Center for the Arts, however, are the room.
"Okay, so you hang one on the wall in your studio, and it's seven and a half feet tall," the Davenport artist recalls telling someone at the exhibit's opening. "That's almost floor-to-ceiling. And then the wingspan is eight-foot, and ... .
"Oops!" she exclaims with a laugh. "We've just filled this whole wall!"
Since her 2004 retirement from teaching at Williams Intermediate School, De Wilde Bina has exhibited her richly textured, colorful renderings of butterflies in paint, pencil, and collage at numerous Midwestern galleries. And during a recent phone interview, the artist states that most of her works have always been considerably larger than their real-life counterparts. "I did a few small ones in the three-, four-inch range," she says, "but generally the things that I was doing were 24, 30, 36 inches, which let me show the kinds of details that most people never saw."
But this past January, states De Wilde Bina, "I decided that I wanted to go super-size, I guess you could call it." The artist began work on her Big Bina Butterflies series, and nine of those pieces are on display at Bucktown through November 28. (Also included in the exhibit are several of the artist's smaller butterfly works, because, as she says, "I wanted people to see where I've come from.")
De Wilde Bina, who received her master's degree in art from the University of Iowa, says that her artistic attraction to butterflies began with a youthful curiosity about insects in general. "I was just fascinated with these small creatures that, once you got out a magnifying glass, had countless amounts of detail that people could never see," she says. "So I worked with insects for a while, and then I wanted to work with color, and so I became interested in butterflies."
She was also taken - as she is to this day - with the winged insects' symbolic history. "Butterflies represent different things to different cultures," says De Wilde Bina. "I find them fun, friendly kinds of things that kind of speak to life. But then you do a little more research, and you find that in another culture, they represent death. And then in some cultures, they're symbols that are used in the afterlife, and they're omens of good and bad luck. So they really have a lot of diversified meaning."
Perhaps fittingly, De Wilde Bina approaches her butterflies with diversified methods. "I've always used existing species" as models, she says. "Basic characteristics. But sometimes I may work with the veins in a butterfly and that structure, sometimes with the colors of butterflies, sometimes with the backside - or underneath side - of butterflies, which can be totally different from the top side for camouflage purposes. I'm just mixing all of those ingredients together, and then from there on, it's just kind of free form."
Consequently, and beyond their larger-than-life size, the artist's vibrant renderings don't necessarily resemble any butterflies you'll find in nature - which suits the artist just fine. "My earlier ones were quite naturalistic, but as I became more interested in texture and pattern, they became more imaginative. And a couple of years ago, I took a trip to Mali, west Africa, and because of the season, saw very few butterflies. So that also made me decide, you know, if I can't see the actual thing," says De Wilde Bina with a laugh, "then let's use my imagination."
With even the smallest pieces in the Big Bina Butterflies series standing six feet tall by four feet wide, the artist's imagination is certainly at work in her current series. As is her patience.
"They do take some time," she says of her renderings, adding that even her smaller butterflies often require 50 to 70 hours of work. "You have to take into consideration the making of the templates, and the cutting of the shapes, and you have to wait for paint to dry for the layering kind of effect. So I may work on one for a couple of days, and then you have to put it aside and go on to another one. And you keep rotating back and forth."
She adds, however, that "I really like to sit down and spend long periods of time working, and not stop for other things. So it holds my interest."
Of particular interest to De Wilde Bina are the recycled billboards she uses for her big-butterfly canvases, which - along with all manner of potential canvases - she keeps stored in her Davenport studio. ("I guess you could call me a very early recycler," she says. "When I taught, people said, 'Don't throw anything away. Give it to Mrs. Bina.'") Rather than painting over them completely, the artist oftentimes incorporates their colors, images, and designs into in her works; in one particular De Wilde Bina Butterfly, for instance, you can see the unmistakable logo of a Goodyear tire.
"I'm very interested in pattern and texture," she says. "And so the billboards could have textural images on them that I work with and work around. Sometimes I add my own color to it; sometimes I paint and scratch into the paint's surface to create a texture. It's an ever-changing kind of thing.
"You know," De Wilde Bina continues, "you see what you've got to work with, and some days it looks pretty good and you think, 'I can make use of that.' And then you look through another pile of stuff and say, 'O-o-o-oh, hey, this will work out just as well!'"
Though she says she doesn't have a particular favorite piece - "They're all my favorites when I do them, and then I'll get to the next one and say, 'Oh ... this is now my favorite" - De Wilde Bina does reserve the right to re-touch works that may be "completed" in name only.
"As an artist," she says, "you find that stopping place, and you say it's finished, and you may choose never to go back and do anything more with it. But I could also decide I want to add some more to it. I think an artist does that no matter what [medium] they work in."
As for what response this artist hopes to elicit from her large-scale works, De Wilde Bina says that ones of the pleasures of the Big Bina Butterflies series is that "there aren't any preconceived notions, and it all goes to personal preference. I had people come in the other night and say, 'Well, I like this one and this one best.' But the next person liked another one best. And you get to ask yourself, why do you like it? By not being a traditional, naturalistic, realistic image, it starts to provoke thought, and it makes the viewer find whatever is meaningful to them."
Delores De Wilde Bina's Big Bina Butterflies exhibit will be on display through Friday, November 28, at Bucktown Center for the Arts, and more information is available by visiting BucktownArts.com.

Can a HPT be a false positive?
I have a 9 1/2 month old and 3 1/2 year old and my husband and I were not "planning" on another any time soon if at all. I record my daily temperatures and noticed a continuous rise 15 days post ovulation which is quite long for me. I took a HPT and it already showed positive. Is there any way it could be wrong?

Its possible but not likely. 15 DPO should be an accurate time frame to test in. Are you late or do you have a longer than average cycle, are you breastfeeding, are you having other symptoms of pregnancy. I would go to my doctor and have a blood test done to be sure. Good Luck!posted 09/09/2010 by snseymour
No not really. False for pregnancy? Yes. False for the pregnancy hormone? No. Some menopausal women develop some pituitary disorder that produces the pregnancy hormone, or you could have a positive and then have your period, an early miscarriage.posted 09/10/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

Headlight Protection is a must for anyone who truly cares about the look and performance of their vehicle. Whether you live in the country and have to worry about semi's kicking rocks into your headlamps or in the crowded confines of a city like New York where parking should be considered an Olympic sport, Rshield Headlight Protection systems give you an edge in the battle to protect your investment and keep your car or truck looking as new as it did the day it rolled off the assembly line. Available in all the great Rtint shades and colors you've come to know and love (from gloss or matte smoke to blackout or HID blue film) and precut to fit the exact make, model and year of your car, you simply can't go wrong with an Rshield headlight protection kit.
When you buy a precut headlight protection kit in clear or tinted film you're not just making a choice to enhance the look of your ride—you're making a smart decision to protect an investment that will pay you dividends for years to come. Rshield headlight protection film is a full 8mil thick which means it is one hundred percent thicker than regular smoked headlight film. This increased thickness affords your costly, OEM lights a protection that is second to none and defends them from harmful UV rays, bugs and road debris. Don't wait until it's too late—buy a precut Headlight Protection kit from Rvinyl today and protect your ride from both the elements and, most importantly, other drivers.
If you've been to all of the popular vendors of pre-cut headlight protection and still haven't been able to find a kit for your car you need to give Rvinyl.com a look before giving up the ghost. Over the years Rvinyl has developed a relationship with the Rtint in order to provide our customers with access to their design team. As a result, you can place an order for a custom Headlight Protection kit that is specifically designed to fit your exact year, make and model like a glove.
Whether you choose to purchase a Headlight Protection kit already in our catalog or to have one custom designed for you it's important to know what kind of options you have in terms of shades and colors. Probably the most popular shade we sell is Rtint's high-gloss smoke film because at 38% VLT it is not so dark that it completely blacks out your tail lights but dark enough to make an impression on anyone who sees your ride. A close second to the smoke film is the blackout smoke which is so dark that it is perfect for that murdered-out look but not so good for your daily commuter car. Rounding out the top three colors would be our blue protection film which gives the appearance of an HID kit without the expense.
