Comments about BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP Angeline Sequined Panel Dress:
This dress is really sexy without being overtly loud. It is not forgiving though; I have near zero percent extra body fat, and I had to wear appropriate shape wear in order to rock it. With that being said, it is truly a show-stopper outfit. I paired it with the statement stone bib necklace (product # JDKJE456-H05) to complete my look for new year's eve, and received compliments all night!

Today marks another massive recall by crib manufacturers as several have issued voluntary recalls on millions of drop-side cribs amid concerns that children might suffocate, become trapped or fall out of the crib.
The majority of cribs involved in this recall are drop-side style cribs. These are cribs that have a movable rail which makes it easier for adults to reach the child.
The only exception to the drop-side style is a Child Craft Stationary Side Crib with Dowel. The crib side may be assembled upside-down yet look as though it has been assembled correctly. This causes a 5 inch gap at the top of the crib in which a child might become entangled.
If you suspect that you might have a crib involved in this recall, click on the links below for pictures and item numbers or visit the manufacturer's website for detailed information.

Fern Mallis, creator of New York Fashion Week, was the guest speaker at the Fashion Group International luncheon. Charleston Fashion Week Style Director Ayoka Kucas introduced her. Rosanna Lucia Krekel, founder of La Vita E Bella marketing company and Charleston trendsetter conducted, the interview.
Ms. Mallis began her career in fashion as an intern at Mademoiselle Magazine. The magazine, famous for its "college issue" was published from 1935 to 1993. She awed the luncheon audience with her amusing and informative stories about her fashion career. Her advice to young, upcoming designers was "be nice".
The Belk Tent offered cocktails and one-on-one media interviews with Belk featured designers Anna Belle LaRogue, Anne Hughes Windmuller, and Steve Madden.
Clothing designer AnnaBelle LaRogue has a boutique in Columbia. The influence of Lilly Pulitzer is obvious in her floral print dresses. Jewelry designer Anne Hughes Windermuller believes that jewelry is more than bling. It is an extension of one's personality. She works with semi-precious gemstones, sterling silver, and 14K gold fill to create unique one of a kind pieces. Steve Madden, a quintessential New Yorker, is founder of the footwear company that bears his name.
Afriyie Poku, who stole the show last year, presented his line Oberima Afriyie at the Tivoli Studios on King Street. Like his clothes the show was unique. Instead of the typical runway presentation, it was a fluid interaction of models and audience. It was a scene that could have been staged by the late Merce Cunningham.
Charleston Fashion Week continues to push the fashion envelope. Charleston fashion is no-longer ten years behind but is a fashion leader.

What are your thoughts about MYST?
I have an old jalopy of a PC with a Celeron processor running at 2.2 GHz and 1 GB of RAM. So my PC gaming is limited to older games.
I like some of the FPS games as long as it's not exclusively shooting (i.e. Unreal) which is why my all-time favorite games are Half-Life and Half-Life II, both of which played fine on my computer. I also enjoy the old Tom Clancy games for PC.
I asked my Professional Gaming Consultant (a.k.a. my 16-year-old son) about MYST and he thought I would like it because it's more of a strategy game.
But I read that the original MYST is in fact too old doesn't play well on Windows XP, and my PGC suggested that I get a later release. But I don't want to have the opposite problem of the game needing more horsepower than my PC can provide.
What are your thoughts about MYST in general and which release should I get? If there is already a thread on this topic, please provide the link.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or recommendations.

If you haven't played it before then you'll love Deus Ex. It's a shooter but it's more of a role playing game with a great story, right up there with the likes of Half Life. It runs on a modified Unreal 1 engine and you can find it on Steam really cheap. If you've already played it check out http://www.thenamelessmod.com/ it's a big mod for Deus Ex one, it's about 1GB and has several hours of dialogue and took 7 years to make.

MYST isn't strategy, it is puzzle, and I think every gamer should experience it. A quick google search gives lots of hits for "running myst on xp". For instance:
Riven (& Myst) QuickTime troubleshooting - MYSTcommunity
I've played through all the MYST games (I-V and Uru) and enjoyed them all.
I will second Drac's suggestion of Deus Ex. Ripper of a game.

My son has a Steam account which I can use, and I trust I can pay with PayPal.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Merry Christmas!
Tuesday, December 25, 2012
I had a nice Christmas Day with my husband, kids, mom, sister, niece and nephew. I made a big ole messy lasagne. I would love to learn the secret to making it in a way that comes out of the pan. I will try other techniques than the seat-of-your-pants method I used for this one. it used a lot of sauce and was pretty messy. People thought it tasted good though and that's the most important thing!
Hubby bought me a used Ipad for Christmas and I like it. It's an upgrade from my netbook as far as reliability goes. Not so great for blogging though since I'm a typing machine. I could probably benefit from a keyboard, but probably won't get one any time soon. Kids seemed satisfied with their gifts although son's XBox was used too. Even though our new electronics were used, they are top of the line of when they were new with huge memories so that's pretty cool. And they are operational!
I skipped my Wii workout yesterday since I was busy getting ready for today and went to a party, but managed to get 30 minutes today. The party was fun, but several of the guests were hammered by the time we arrived. Our kids aren't used to seeing drunk people. They weren't bad drunks, just loud and used foul language. We left after about 2 hours. It's nice to do social things.
I knew I'd be off the wagon with eating and all my routines with Christmas, but I am getting back on the saddle tomorrow. I even abandoned my water! I have a few things to do but I'm not going to make my fitness and health come in second place. My dad gave me some cash. I'm thinking about investing in some fitness equipment like a ball and some stretchy bands as well as a mat. I do not like to do fitness that requires me to get on the floor because it's hardwood. I have a time getting ON the floor and then OFF! That alone is a pretty strenuous activity for me! I think I'd like to get the fitness pack here on Spark that's been out of stock lately. Maybe it'll be IN stock soon.
I've meandered through my immediate thoughts enough. I hope we all have a great rest of the holiday week and live strong in 2013!

Yep, a mat is a must if you have hardwood floors! Good luck and have fun spending your Christmas cash!
I got my wish of a Wii fit plus for Christmas, but haven't had a chance to hook it up and learn how to use it yet. Hopefully today or tomorrow!
Glad you had a nice holiday....but now....back on the wagon!

T o get lasagne out of the pan easily line it with wide aluminum foil twice, make it a foot longer than the pan on both end and curl them tightly together to form handles for lifting it out of your dish, but your will need either a bigger pan or a large platter as lasagne produces a lot of oils that may run off.
Ipad- You could get dragon naturally speaking 11 for it, it is an app that types what you say (no keyboard needed- I love the program and I do not lose my thought while typing.
You will do well have a Happy New Year
PS I noticed you end lasagne with an e, this is usually done in europe and England. If I may ask have you traveled or live outside the US. I myself have traveled the world when I was in the military and found the other cultures fun and exciting.

Sounds like a great time! I'm freezing any goodies and getting them out of sight at midnight. Then, back in the saddle tomorrow also. It's good that you are teaching your kids great habits especially about buying things that are second hand. That's a skill they can take with them out into the real world for sure.

There is plenty of research about the effectiveness of different exercise styles. Researchers have found that some workouts burn more fat than others. But in the end, what matters more than anything is consistency.
So how do you stay more consistent to reach your weight loss and fitness goals? Make your workouts more fun. If exercise is something that you look forward to, you're more likely to make it a priority and find the time to get the job done.
5 ways to make workouts more fun
- Grab a friend. People who stick to their workout programs are generally people who have social support. What's the best way to get it? Grab a workout buddy. Make a friend at the gym, connect with a coworker, engage your spouse or even bond with someone you meet at church.
- Get creative. Traditional workouts like running and walking are effective, but not everyone likes to do them. If you don't like standard workouts, make up your own. For example, when the twerking craze hit, women were burning mega calories with the Twerkout. You can do anything that gets your body moving for at least 15 minutes.
- Make indoor workouts fun. People who like to exercise outdoors dread those days when heat, rain or cold keeps them inside. Use these 16 workout boredom busters the next time you have to get your miles in on the treadmill or elliptical.
- Video games. Yep, you read that right. Video games can be great workout tools. I recently reviewed the Goji Play workout machine gaming system and I LOVED it. I'm not even a video game afficienado. You can also try dance games like Just Dance or many of the others available.
- Stair climbing. Short on time and motivation? Go climb stairs. The workouts are short, but effective. Stair climbing provides the necessary cardiovascular and muscular intensity to burn enough fat and shape your lower body at the same time.
Remember, it's less about what you do and more about how often you do it that matters when you try to reach your fitness and weight loss goals. Try to do something everyday and you'll see results faster.

Namibia Safaris - An Overview
Namibia is a photographer's paradise, the stark contrast of ever-blue skies and yellow dunes provides perfect light, and there is never a shortage of subject matter: some of the most dramatic desert scenery in the world.
The Skeleton Coast is a tragically beautiful place; hundreds of ship wrecks and the bleached skeletons of seals and whales enigmatically dot its length. The extensive dunelands of the Sossusvlei have received equal appraise for their natural beauty, whilst the cave paintings in the rocky Damaraland provide human interest. For walking safaris in Namibia check out the Waterberg Plateau. The best wildlife is found in Etosha and best explored on a self-drive safari.

College Hockey:AIC earns first-ever win over Air Force
Win first for Yellow Jackets in 21 games against Air Force.
COLORADO SPRINGS — Twenty-one is typically known as a lucky number in gambling.
For the American International Yellow Jackets, that number ended up also being lucky as it took that amount of games it took to earn a victory over the Air Force Falcons. After going 0-19-1 in the previous 20 games, the Yellow Jackets finally broke through Friday night at Cadet Ice Arena, topping the Falcons 5-3, despite being outshot 44-21 in the contest.
"Obviously it was a big win for us on a pretty big road trip and I thought we battled pretty hard," said AIC head coach Gary Wright. "They came pretty hard at us at the end and we withstood that pressure, maybe barely, but I was pretty happy with our effort all the way around."
"They deserved the win," said Air Force head coach Frank Serratore. "They were tough [and] they protected the front of the net."
The Falcons struck first a little over halfway through the first period on a fluky play. AIC goaltender Ben Meisner tried to clear the puck up the left side boards and instead dished it right to Air Force freshman Jason Fabian. Fabian picked the puck up at the right dot and lofted it in the empty net for his first career goal.
Twenty-two seconds into the second period, the Falcons took a 2-0 lead when Kyle De Laurell fed Derrick Burnett from behind the line who knocked the puck in past Meisner (41 saves).
After that, though, Meisner settled into a groove and the rest of the period was all AIC. A little over six minutes later, Michael Penny put the Yellow Jackets on the board with a power play tally.
"[Meisner] came back from that sort of quasi-giveaway there and sometimes that can get on you a little bit and I thought the fact that he settled down after that, battled back; he exhibited real good competitiveness and mental toughness there," said Wright.
Halfway through the period, Richard Leitner fought his way in front of the net, and beat Falcon forward Paul Weisgarber in a man-to-man battle in front of the net to poke the puck past both Weisberger and AFA netminder Jason Torf (16 saves).
Then, with just under three minutes to play in the frame, AIC took its first lead of the game, which it would never relinquish. Nielssen Arcibal dished the puck to Adam Pleskach who took advantage of traffic in front of the net to slam it home past Torf.
The Yellow Jackets extended their lead just under five minutes into the third when Tomas Benovic let a rocket fly from the top of the left circle that clanged off the top of the right goal post and in the net.
Air Force kept battling to try and get back in the game and succeeded in making it 4-3 with 94 seconds left. Thanks to a power play and Torf pulled for the extra attacker, Tim Kirby was able to wrist one from the point that beat Meisner high glove side.
Arcibal sealed the deal for the Yellow Jackets, though, with an empty net goal with 47.8 seconds remaining.
"We're not a very well-coached team right now and my frustration right now is with me," said Serratore. "I gotta get better and we gotta get better and no excuses, we are where we are."
The two teams play each other again tomorrow night. Game time is at 7:05 p.m. Mountain.

Arguments are part of any healthy dating relationship or marriage. How you get through these arguments can make or break the bond you share with your partner.
A study discussed by Medical Daily on March 17 discusses how eye contact and mirroring your partner's body language during an argument can actually diffuse any anger taking place during the argument.
Author Chris Weller comments: "A raft of studies have found that mirroring techniques — copying a person's body language, and even their speech patterns if you're crafty enough — foster feelings of rapport and comfort."
See also: Study: Women better leaders, value feedback, driven
In other words, when someone is speaking to you softly and you are angry, try to get to their level. It will help bring you down from your anger and hopefully make things more amicable in the long-run.
At the same time, if you are arguing with someone who is yelling at you, don't try yelling back at them. Again, try keeping your voice at a respectable, calm level and eventually the person may mirror your behaviors.
This also includes your body language. If someone comes at you in an angry, hostile tone, yelling at you in your face, taking a step back, perhaps even sitting down, can help once again diffuse the situation.

How have you handled heated arguments before? Do you think this mirroring technique can help you in a future disagreement?

Faith Evans
"I'm really an inner spirit that only makes itself known through the music. A lot of people think I'm an introvert, or quiet and moody. I've even heard some people say that there's a certain mystery or darkness about me. I'm not that way. I'm just really into what I do." -Faith Evans
From her collaboration with P. Diddy for the multi-platinum tribute song "I'll Be Missing You," to her newly Grammy nominated album, Faithfully, Evans has established herself as a true diva. Dance club hits and slow jams have become her signature, while her increasingly hot look has helped us keep the faith.
Evans released Faith Evans to much hype in 1995. Songs like "You Used To Love Me" became great "turn the lights down low" soundtracks and Evans was praised as a great new talent in the business. Her appearance in the Notorious B.I.G.'s "One More Chance" remains a legendary hit, while her sophomore album, Keep The Faith, survived some criticism behind the strength of the gold single, "Love Like This."
After Wallace's death, the tribute song "I'll Be Missing You" (featuring Faith Evans, P. Diddy and 112) became more than just a moving collaboration; it went platinum and won the Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. From there, a collaboration on Whitney Houston's Heartbreak Hotel and Evans' latest album, Faithfully, have kept her quite busy. So far, Faithfully has earned a 2002 Grammy nomination for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group for "Can't Believe," featuring Carl Thomas, as well as a Grammy nomination in 2003 for Best R&B Album.
Her other accomplishments include a role in the movie The Fighting Temptations with Cuba Gooding Jr., due for release in Spring 2003. She also heads her own production company called Pedigree MGI with her husband, and has her own nail polish color for Rock Hard Cosmetics. Evans' work with inner-city children also deserves recognition, proving that she extends her golden touch outside of her career to help those in need.
Faith Evans BiographyBorn in Lakeland, Florida on June 10, 1973, Faith Evans moved to Newark, New Jersey at a young age and stayed there throughout her childhood and beyond. During her early schools years and into secondary education, she participated in many musicals, constantly training her voice since the age of two by participating in the local churches' Gospel choirs. Despite blowing people away with her musical prowess, Evans stuck with school through to university, gaining a full scholarship to Fordham University.
After studying marketing for one year, she could no longer deny her abilities as a talented singer. Her initial contributions to the music world were behind the scenes, writing songs for Mary J. Blige and becoming a backup singer for acts like Color Me Badd and Pebbles. Her big breakthrough came when producer/rapper Sean "P. Diddy" Combs (known as "Puff Daddy" at the time) heard her voice and was immediately captivated. He signed her to his Bad Boy label; Faith was the first woman to become part of the now famous stable of artists.
with success came tragedy
In 1995, Evans released her self-titled debut album. It was a great start for Evans, as the album eventually went platinum with the help of hit singles like "Soon As I Get Home" and "You Used To Love Me." That same year, her baptism into the music industry was complete after she married legendary rapper Notorious B.I.G. (Christopher Wallace) mere days after having met him. His huge single "One More Chance" featured his new wife's voice in the chorus, but unfortunately, the matrimony was not meant to be.
With a son on the way, Evans watched as her husband got caught up in an East vs. West Coast rap war that ended in his tragic murder on March 9th, 1997. In the six months that followed the shooting, Evans suffered through her toughest times (despite the fact that Evans and Wallace had separated a few months before his death), questioning the industry she was in.
Fortunately, she eventually dealt with the tragedy constructively, looking at it as a life lesson and becoming a stronger woman as a result. Her biggest statement about her husband's death came in the form of music: "I'll Be Missing You," by Puff Daddy and featuring 112 and Faith Evans, was a touching single that garnered an MTV Video Music Award for Best R&B Video and a Grammy for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group, and became a worldwide anthem for those grieving the loss of a loved one.
a great rebound
The revitalized Evans released Keep The Faith in 1998 and although some critics claimed that it didn't meet the high standards set by her previous effort, they were soon silenced as "Love Like This" became a huge hit single. Her strength as a writer of both catchy nightclub beats and slow, romantic jams was never more evident and fellow artists recognized this incredible talent.
Whitney Houston even asked her to collaborate on her album, Heartbreak Hotel. To cap off a great couple of years after her "rebirth," she saw her work on "Heartbreak Hotel" (also featuring Kelly Price) and her own single, "Love Like This," receive nominations at the 2000 Grammy ceremony.
doing it all as a true diva
Faith Evans' success has only expanded in recent years. Between establishing the production company Pedigree MGI with husband Todd Russaw and starring in the upcoming film The Fighting Temptations, with Cuba Gooding Jr. and Beyoncé Knowles, Evans is certainly busy.
Add to that her third consecutive successful album, Faithfully, which spawned the Grammy nominated duet, "Can't Believe," with established R&B singer Carl Thomas, and garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Album. To top off her amazing accomplishments, she has also remained focused on being a wonderful mother to three young children and a mentor to inner-city youth, throughout all of her success.
living for the music
Even without all the nominations and huge sales figures, our appreciation for Evans would still be high, as she is known for pouring her heart into her touching ballads. Whether caught in controversy, collaborating with other artists or testing the waters in film, she has always emerged victorious.

Dumb blonde jokes aside, the Jessica Simpson Dawson Clutch ($148) is the most adorable bag that we've seen in quite awhile. The cutsie textured leather clutch boasts a large metal ring, whipstitched seams, a magnetic snap closure and interior zip pockets.

United States residents spent $469.5 million on on-line dating and personals in 2004, and over $500 million in 2005 and the U.S. on-line dating market is expected to increase spending to $932 million in 2011. With all of those people looking for love on-line, you think it would be relatively easy to find your soul mate somewhere out there.When you watch the commercials on TV for various dating sites like Match.com or E-Harmony, it seems like a pretty good bet, huh? They show you "success" stories" that are heartfelt and seem real enough, but what they don't tell you is that those people (if they are not just actors in some cases) are probably the exception to the rule. Now, this is only my personal opinion, but the reality is that most people who do join these sites are still looking, and looking, and looking. From the outside, the whole Internet dating process looks pretty straightforward and seems like it should be successful. So what went wrong?
If you are a newbie to on-line dating, here are a few things for you to consider.
1. Which site to choose? The Internet now has so many dating sites it could make your head spin, so you have to be precise in what you are looking for and what you want your end result to be. There are straightforward sites like match.com and E-Harmony and there are sites for people who are looking to just date inside their own race, religion, and gender. There are sites for millionaires, sugar daddies, swingers, and even for cheaters. So choose wisely. Most sites have a monthly fee; however, there are some free sites out there as well such as plenty of fish.com or even Craig's List. So check out the sites, read carefully, and choose even more carefully.
2. Put up a profile. Some people write an autobiography about themselves, some people just tell you to ask them if you want to know, but it's probably best to write a thoughtful, truthful, short, but sweet profile about yourself and what you are looking for and what you want to find, i.e., a long-term relationship, just dating, something more casual, or even just friends. Some sites want you to come up with a user name like "LVyogagirl" or a name that says something about you. Try not to use names like Freakguy or LonelyinLV (yes, some of these are versions of real names I have seen and anything with the words freak or lonely is going to scare me away right off the bat).
3. Post a few pictures. You have to post at least one picture. Some people are reluctant to do so and they usually use some lame excuse that it's because of their job or their so-called high profile. Well, if the president of the United States doesn't mind his pictures posted all over the Internet, there is no excuse for anyone not to post a picture unless you're married or have some other creepy excuse, so don't even go there! Use good quality pictures that are fairly current (not 10 or 20 years ago). We also don't like seeing pictures of someone with their sunglasses on in every picture or pictures where they are so far away we can't tell what they look like. And guys, don't post a picture of you and another woman (same goes for a woman with another man), unless it's your mother or other family member. It's probably also not a great idea to post pictures of your children, no matter how much you love them, as you never know what kind of predators are out there. Also, what's with the pictures of sunsets or beaches without you in them? Pictures of you with a pet are fine, but pictures of just your pets makes you look a little crazy. Pictures of you with your friends are good, but just try to keep the "partying" pictures to a minimum, unless you want to portray yourself as a lush. I know, I know, there are a lot of rules here. I'm only telling you these things because it's what I hear and read about over and over again.
OK, so you have the right profile, pictures, and user name and you are getting some great responses. What next? Obviously you start out with an e-mail or a few to learn a little more about each other, and if you do e-mail someone, don't just write "hi" and that's it. If I see that, I'm just going to say "hi" back and that's it, and don't write a "canned" letter to a million other women/men because those are so obvious and neither one of those approaches is going to pique anyone's interest. Others are adamant that you meet right away because they hate e-mail and endless conversations on the phone. They want to see if there is "chemistry" right off the bat. There are pro's and con's for both sides of that argument. If a person only wants to e-mail you for what seems like an eternity, that could be a red flag. If he wants to meet right away before getting to know anything more about you, that could be another red flag (from what I've found, there are a lot of red flags when it comes to this whole Internet dating thing, but we'll get to that subject later). Talking on the phone a couple of times is recommended so you can get a better feel of the other person.
5. Meeting the person. So, you've exchanged the e-mails, talked on the phone, and seem to get along great. You like their picture and profile so, of course, meeting in person is the next step. This can be nerve-wracking to some people so it's best to meet somewhere in public for something simple, like coffee, or a drink. You can always go from there if you hit it off, and if you don't, you can have that coffee or a drink, talk for a bit, and say your goodbyes. Never, never meet someone for the first time at their residence or let them come to your place. Have you not heard of the Craig's List killer or a host of other on-line stalkers or crazy people? They are out there, believe me, I know from personal experience and I'll talk more about that in another article.
Now comes what for most people is the most disappointing part. You think you've found this great person with whom you seem to get along with great, you liked what you saw on-line, talked on the phone for hours and feel like you have a lot in common, but when you finally meet in person, there is absolutely no chemistry, nada, zip, zero
Why? It's usually because people either have extremely high expectations of what they perceived in their head about the other person or the other person was totally dishonest about how they portrayed themselves on their profile, because they didn't follow the essential rules explained above.
Well, this is just the beginning of the realities of on-line dating that I hope to help my readers through. I hope you have enjoyed the advice I have given you so far. I will be writing another article again soon, as I have a lot more to say on this subject, so stay tuned and in the meantime, happy hunting, and please feel free to write me with any questions you may have or advice you need about the wacky world of on-line dating.
Until next time here is a helpful link to the top 5 on-line dating sites and more:

Anna-who prefers to be called Anastasia-is a slightly spooky and complicated high school girl. She spends much of her time writing obituaries for every living person in town. She is unlike anyone the narrator has ever known, and they make an unlikely, though happy, pair. Then a week before Valentine's Day, Anna disappears, leaving behind only a dress placed neatly near a hole in the frozen river, and a string of unanswered questions. Desperate to find her, the narrator begins to reconstruct the past five months. And soon the fragments of curious events, intimate conversations, secrets, and peculiar letters coalesce into haunting and surprising revelations that may implicate friends, relatives, and even Anna herself.

The Zensorium Tinké is a revolutionary device designed to change the face of mobile fitness and wellness. Tinké is an optical sensory device for smartphones that monitors your fitness and wellness with the touch of a finger. The four aspects that Tinké measures are heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen levels, as well as heart rate variability. It works on the basis of detecting changes in skin blood volume and using advanced signal processing technologies, Zensorium Tinké transforms detected signals into quantitative data.
Measurement - Heart Rate
Heart rate refers to the number of heart beats per minute and is normally expressed in beats per minute (BPM). An average adult's heart rate is usually between 60 BPM to 80 BPM. Resting heart rate is defined as the heart rate taken when you are first awake or when sitting quietly. Monitoring your resting heart rate daily is an important indicator of your fitness.
Measurement - Respiratory Rate
Ever found yourself feeling short of breath? Well, your respiratory rate may change due to conditions such as when we're angry or sad. An important indicator of fitness is respiratory rate taken when a person is resting and at minimum stress. When a person is in the above condition, a respiratory range of 10-20 breaths per minute is considered normal.
Measurement - Blood Oxygen Level
A blood oxygen level of above 95% is essential for optimum performance in your daily activities. Fitter people have higher blood oxygen saturation levels. Tinké lets you measure the amount of oxygen carried by the red blood cells in your blood, at any given time.
Measurement - Heart Rate Variability
Unlike a clock, our heart does not beat at a constant rate. The changes in the rate at which your heart beats at is known as Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Your HRV changes throughout the day, depending on the activities you carry out, your mood, and various other factors.
In Tinké, HRV is used as a measure of how well our body can adapt to these changes by analyzing your heart rate and breathing patterns. The better your body is able to adapt to these changes, the higher is the measure of your HRV. Simply said, HRV is used as a basis to monitor your level of relaxation.
During anxiety, our heart rate rises, muscles tense, we perspire more, and our breathing becomes more rapid and shallow. Your measurement of HRV is thus lower. In contrast, if you are relaxed, your measure of HRV will consequently be higher.
Monitoring - Fitness, Wellness, Progress
Your fitness level is calculated on the Tinke as the Vita Index. Tinké measures your heart rate, respiratory rate and blood oxygen saturation within 30 seconds and compiles the information into their Vita Index fitness score.
Your wellness level is calculated on the Tinke as the Zen Index. Tinké measures your heart rate variability while you relax yourself with the provided breathing exercise for 60 seconds. This information is then processed into the Zen Index score which indicates your level of relaxation.
With your Tinké account, all measurements taken will be saved and trended into a graph. Choose to trend both Zen and Vita Indexes, or even narrow down to individual parameters such as heart rate, respiratory rate and blood oxygen levels. You can now monitor the progress of your fitness and wellness over a period of weeks, months and even years.
There are also achievements and Tinke social network. You can earn points and badges each time you conduct a measurement and be rewarded for performing consistent measurements. You can also post your results onto Facebook and share your results with friends, and encourage one another on your progress.
Using the Zensorium Tinke
To use, simply start the iOS Tinké app, connect Tinké when prompted and place your thumb on the sensing platform of Tinké to start measuring. Just gentle pressure will suffice. Done. We love 'simple and easy to use' fitness and health devices and have a lot of them in our test pipeline. With a touch of your finger, you can obtain the measurements of the 4 parameters, and 2 indexes within seconds. No other device that we are aware of can do this. Compared to the HeartMath Inner Balance Sensor (which does not measure blood oxygen level), the Tinke is much easier to use.
Keep track of your measurements before you start your training. Then after a few weeks or months, revisit your training log to see what the improvements are in your vital fitness and health statistics using the Tinke and other health and fitness devices like the Basis watch and Amiigo wristband.
- heart rate
- blood oxygen level
- heart rate variability
- respiratory rate
- skin temperature
- perspiration level
Although Tinké is not a medical device, its accuracy ranges for the 3 parameters are:
- Heart Rate: +/- 2 beats per minute
- Respiratory Rate: +/- 2 breaths per minute
- Blood Oxygen Saturation: +/- 3%
All measurement data (limited to measurements taken during the last 30 days) can even be easily exported for further analysis. Think of the possibilities with new cloud offerings for 2014!
The Zensorium Tinke is available in both the 30-pin connector and Lightning connector for iOS devices and in Bluetooth only for Android devices.

IT may have been a scorcher yesterday and not much better today, but it might be a little premature to be packing away all the warm clothes just yet.
Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Chris Joseph said Toowoomba residents can expect a top of 30°C today, a little down from yesterday's steamy 32°C, but we can all expect a sharp drop off tomorrow.
So if you've already gone and packed up your jeans and long sleeves, you might want to go retrieve them.
"It will be a fine and warm day across the Downs with a 30°C top in Toowoomba on Monday," Mr Joseph said.
"But a strong south-easterly to southerly change will push through the district in the evening and we can expect it to bring temperatures down to 22°C on Tuesday.
"From there it will start to warm up again, with an expected top of 24°C on Wednesday."
The cool change is predicted to pass by Thursday, with temperatures returning to 27°C.

A national awareness campaign to raise awareness about Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is happening right now and for the entire month of May. This campaign gives people an opportunity to learn more about this complex genetic disorder whose hallmark is insatiable hunger. Throughout the country, there are events taking place to spotlight the disease, support the Prader-Willi community, and raise funds for research. In Florida, the Prader Willi Florida Association is a resource for information about local Prader Willi Awareness Month activities.
While PWS is the most common genetic cause of life-threatening obesity, most people have not even heard of the disease or, if they have, may have misunderstandings about it. The cause is an abnormality of chromosome 15. Approximately 1 in 15,000 people are born with PWS. Babies born with PWS have hypotonia or weak muscles, and they usually have difficult sucking. Feeding a baby with PWS usually initially involves a feeding tube and waking the baby for small feedings. Before the age of six, there is an about-face, and the chronic hunger surfaces. The problem becomes keeping food away from the child.
In addition to the chronic feeling of hunger, people with PWS have low muscle tone, short stature, incomplete sexual development, and a number of behavioral issues. Virtually all people with PWS have learning disabilities, and while there is a range of IQs, 70 is the average. People with PWS need constant supervision to prevent excessive eating. If a person with PWS, even one whose weight is well-controlled, has free access to food, the result can be death.
Prader Willi Syndrome is a lifelong disease. At this time, there is no cure. Treatment includes growth hormones to combat short stature, keeping the person active to burn calories, and preventing free access to food. Families who have a child with PWS are constantly aware of their child's food issues and must plan their day-to-day lives around the child in order to keep the child safe. Eventually, most people with the disorder live in group homes specially run to monitor food intake and keep the residents active.
Research is vital to the future of PWS. The Prader Willi Association has a Scientific Advisory Board, a Clinical Advisory Board, and a Research Committee--all working with professional staff to identify where the needs are greatest in the PWS community. Raising funds to support research and for programs to improve the quality of life for those who have PWS are two more goals of the May PWS Awareness Month.
An important aspect of the awareness program is to help people to understand what people with PWS and their families cope with each day. The hope is that knowing about the disease will help the public be empathetic and supportive of these families. For more information on events, visit May Prader Willi Awareness events.

I adore Citizen Queen and have the rollerballs but did not take to the others, nor the oud or Calamity J.
Enjoy sampling!
Just in time for my approaching birthday, I received four little
sealed envelopes emblazoned with the Shakespearian "Juliette
Has a Gun" logo and containing a descriptive card (signed by the
deeply attractive Romano Ricci) and a 2ml
sample of Citizen Queen, Calamity J. Miss Charming and
Lady Vengeance.
I am beginning with Lady Vengeance : a darkly sensuous rose/
patchouli combination with a smidgen of vanilla underpinning it.
This is very Dita Von Tees like and not the kind of scent to wear to the office
or whilst having tea with the vicar (as you do!) unless you want to cause a stir.
It is quite wanton and makes me feel bolder than normal in a strange kind
of way.
I think I would wear this EDP for a big night out, wearing a long dress, when its voluptuousness would be
given free rein......
A woman without perfume is like a flower without a scent.
I adore Citizen Queen and have the rollerballs but did not take to the others, nor the oud or Calamity J.
Enjoy sampling!
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Ooh, I've been curious about this house -- tell us more!
If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
I sampled Lady Vengeance and liked it well enough, but initially thought it was too similar to Agent Provocateur (which I love) to further investigate. However, as the day wore on I found myself finding it more interesting than derivative, the rose not quite as green and spicey as Agent Provocateur and softened and rounded out by the vanilla. I've sampled it since and now I'm wondering whether I should put it on my Wish List. Midnight Oud, on the other hand, went straight onto my Wish List - that's one I must have.
Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
but because they are so obviously made with love.
I am testing Citizen Queen this morning. I rather like it! It's a leathery, soft powdery amber scent
with a good sillage and good,so far, lasting power. I think a light application will be required
and I wouldn't wear this to work - it's a bit too animalistic! I love the smell of labdanum (the resin
from the mediterranean rockrose)and it lends a warmth and sensuality to this scent. Personally I
don't detect the iris note, as the whole composition is very well-blended.
A woman without perfume is like a flower without a scent.
Thank you, my dear Kewart for keeping us informed

The Federation of Scottish Theatre and the Scottish Arts Council are delighted to announce the launch of Unleashed and Unplugged 2009 – two bursaries for creative artists working in Scottish theatre. The bursaries, Unleashed (£25,000) and Unplugged (£5,000), offer a unique opportunity to support two theatre artists to develop their potential by exploring, evolving and experimenting in their practice.
FST has established that many creative artists, when asked what would make a difference to the development of their practice, answer: "space and time". Unleashed and Unplugged helps to meet that need. The bursaries will enable two artists, currently working in Scottish theatre (whether freelance or employed) to disconnect from their regular routine or job and time to explore and consider new or alternative ways of approaching their thinking and practice. FST and Scottish Arts Council see this award as a long term investment in the holistic artistic vision of the theatre community in Scotland.
The awards are open to all Scottish-based theatre artists (directors, performers, designers, choreographers, technicians, writers, dramaturges, multi-media artists, producers) who have reached a point in their career where time out to re-evaluate their own process and practice would be of creative benefit. Unleashed is aimed at established practitioners, and Unplugged at mid-career.
In 2008 the bursaries recipients were Graham Eatough, who received a £25,000 award to develop his practice combining theatre with the visual arts and Lorne Campbell who was awarded £5,000 to explore the concept of 'liveness' in performance.
Jon Morgan, FST Director said:
"FST is delighted to be able to support two Scottish theatre artists to further explore their creativity through the Unleashed and Unplugged bursaries. This is an incredibly exciting opportunity and we encourage practitioners from across all areas of the theatre sector to consider how they could benefit from the time that Unleashed and Unplugged would allow them. FST is pleased to be working in partnership with the Scottish Arts Council on this innovative and dynamic project."
Morag Arnot, Deputy Chief Executive, Scottish Arts Council said:
"One of the core aims of the Scottish Arts Council is to support artists in Scotland to fulfil their creative and business potential. The Unleashed and Unplugged bursaries support this aim through allowing for that crucial resource – space and time – for two theatre practitioners to take their practice in new directions, try out new ideas and take risks. This is the second year we have collaborated with the FST for this fund and we look forward to seeing what brilliant ideas will be unleashed through the bursaries."
Further information on the Unplugged and Unleashed bursaries, including details of how to apply can be downloaded from the Federation of Scottish Theatre website, www.scottishtheatre.org
The closing date for completed applications is the 30 September 2009.

Cities can talk: Agile Cities for Sustainability
- Date
- 18 June 2012
By Molly Webb, Head of Smart Technologies, The Climate Group.
June 18, 2012
Today, in Rio +20, during the event to mark the launch of the Clean Revolution campaign, we announced we will take forward our work in cities with social enterprises Living Labs Global and CityMart, city association Metropolis, and the UK's Technology Strategy Board. Through the 'Agile Cities' Program we will co-design guidance for 'pre-procurement' when cities are looking for innovation and seeking global market intelligence.
This partnership builds on the experience of matchmaking city challenges to solutions.
Why is The Climate Group working in the area of city innovation?
We know that urban issues are paramount today -- over half the world's inhabitants are city-dwellers. Every choice made about service delivery of energy, transport, waste and water along with every citizen decision about how to live our lives is adding up slowly to collective impact that has long-term consequences. It is therefore in cities where we will succeed or fail in tackling climate change.
Decisions we take in the short term at the city level have huge implications. Choices to replace infrastructure or technologies with new, more efficient alternatives or to find new ways of delivering the same services in a lower-carbon way – such as car sharing or energy-generating surfaces -- are being made daily in some 557,000 local authorities all over the world.
And there is also a clear business opportunity. New solutions – in particular those which utilize the fast growing utility of information and communications technologies – can make a huge impact on a city's emissions, while also benefiting quality of life and economic development (see our Information Marketplaces report for more on smart city opportunities). As Barbara Kux, Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG and Chief Sustainability Officer noted in our Transformative Solutions panel in Rio yesterday, "In 2011 we saw revenues from low carbon technologies of 30 billion euro, that's 40% of our total revenue." Colin Calder, CEO of PassivSystems similarly can demonstrate that their smart energy management products have already delivered 20-40% energy savings in UK homes.
We can point to at least 21 city leaders who are ready to participate in the market for new solutions: in November of last year they each announced an urban challenge and that, as part of the Living Labs Global Award process, they were open for business to find a solution. On May 2nd, in the lead up to Rio +20 these cities converged in Rio de Janeiro to award winning entrepreneurs and businesses the chance to trial a solution in their city.
From networked lighting in San Francisco that can be used only when needed to open government in Capetown that will help deliver economic and environmental outcomes, the challenges set by cities were as diverse as the places they represent. But they had one thing in common; the cities were all ready to embark on a process of re-thinking how they meet urban challenges, using better data and connectivity.
Some common themes were mobility and transport, open government and participatory civic processes, better data for decision-making, and health care. Whether or not the challenges were explicitly about sustainability (like Glasgow's, who were looking for low carbon and smart grid solutions for environmental and economic benefits), The Climate Group judged each and every entry based on its ability to deliver the innovation in the most climate-friendly manner.
But many of the challenges, if tackled, would directly also save energy. Mexico City announced it needed to alleviate commuter pain and make transport more efficient, as citizens navigate 1400 buses, 300 trolley buses and 100,000 taxis in their city. Lavasa, a relatively new city in India, wanted to re-think private transport altogether. And more indirectly, Rio de Janeiro wanted a 'Knowledge Square' to help engage citizens in urban social and technological reform, a process that would allow citizens to raise environmental issues alongside other urban issues.
The winners – and the finalists – were up to the task. Having read 500+ entries, I was amazed by the global marketplace I saw unfolding with every showcased solution. Companies that are providing socially networked transport, smart grid, smarter waste solutions, road maintenance, power-generating floors, all manner of intelligent transportation and parking were just a few. Check out more of the solutions on CityMart.
Some highlights from the winners and runners up:
- Skybus won Lavasa's challenge to re-think private transport. The Skybus SaaS platform allocates mobile requests to vehicle routes, which "adapt dynamically to take every passenger directly from origin to destination, quickly, comfortably and without transfers."
- Endesa won Glasgow's challenge specifically with their Smart City Malaga project, which integrates 17,000 smart meters with charging points, LED streetlights and a control centre
- Clever Devices, the winner in Mexico City, manages intelligent transport systems for city managers to drive down emissions, and fuel consumption.
- Paradox Engineering will provide San Francisco with networked streetlamps as a starting point for a full smart city infrastructure
- ConnecThings swept 4 of the city categories. NFC tags (enabling the QR codes on your mobile phone) allow citizens to interact with their surroundings in real time, and enable tourists or citizens to better engage with their city.
Some of the runners-up could also have big immediate or potential energy savings: WhipCar, POWERLeap, Philips Connected (Public) lighting, LiquidSpace, Oracle's Green City Management solution, and BellaDati.
As Alex Zehnder of Paradox Engineering reminded us in his presentation at the Summit, 'Cities can talk' – through new approaches to networking machines and 'things' like buildings or waste bins in the city.
Now, with the Agile Cities partnership, we're connecting cities, innovation leaders in business and society and civic organisations to promote an open standard for a more effective marketplace among cities, to bring more cities into the practice of innovation for sustainability.
Learn more about a second partnership we announced this week, ISEP, which is focused specifically on ICT-enabled energy solutions but which will draw on our cities and solutions work.

Mo, Yifei
Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2010
Research Interests
Computational materials design, large-scale atomistic modeling, coupling between surfaces/interfaces/nanostructures and materials properties, and materials for energy storage and conversion.
Current Research Projects
Computational Materials Design
Computational techniques based on first principles are capable of predicting materials properties with little or no experimental input. In our research, we leverage an array of computational techniques to design new materials with desired properties. With the aid of supercomputers, computational methods can significantly speed up the innovation and development of materials.
Large-scale Atomistic Modeling
Quantum mechanical methods are often limited to atomistic systems with hundreds of atoms, while large-scale modeling methods based on empirical potentials have limited accuracy. In our research, we bridge the gap between accurate ab initio methods and large-scale atomistic modeling. Integrating these techniques across different length scales enable us to study complex atomistic structures, such as surfaces, interfaces, and nanostructures.
Energy Storage Systems Beyond Li-ion Batteries
New battery systems, such as Na-ion, Mg-ion, Li-S, and Metal-Air, have the potential to achieve higher energy density, but have poor performance in terms of cyclability, coulumbic efficiency, and/or power density. In our research, we study the fundamental materials problems in these new battery systems, and computationally design new materials to improve the battery performance.
We welcome highly motivated students and postdocs from all disciplines of science and engineering. Currently, we are a purely computational group collaborating extensively with other experimental groups.

By Pam Vig, Director of Children's Ministries
Bethel Lutheran Church, Northfield
Wednesday afternoons at Bethel Lutheran Church in Northfield, Minn., always begin with a BAM. BAM (Bible, Arts, and Music) is a weekly after-school program for students in kindergarten through fifth grade.
This ministry has been in place in various forms for over 20 years. It began with a children's choir rehearsal and has grown into an afternoon of activities including choir and chimes rehearsals, snack, chapel, Catechism class, and a Bible video. Also included is Kclub, a 30 minute activity time for kindergarten students; TNT (Trying New Things); game and art activities; and BLAST (BAM Leaders and Servants Together), a special servant leader experience for grades four and five.
The congregation contracts with a local bus company to transport children from their schools to the church. A pool of over 50 volunteers rotates in and out each month to serve 166 students. A nursery is provided for younger children of volunteers.
"Often parent volunteers get their feet wet by volunteering for a short stint at BAM once a month or so. This successful experience creates a comfort level with volunteering that eventually benefits our youth ministries and ultimately the entire congregation as families move forward together through the years," states Barb Farmer, Director of Youth Ministries.
The afternoon ends with an opportunity for families to dine at Bethel Bistro where another team of volunteers serves up a home-cooked meal to families picking children up from BAM and those arriving for the congregation's Wednesday evening activities.
Pam Vig, Director of Children's Ministries at Bethel, states, "Every year our BAM ministry draws in several new families who have heard about us from their children's friends who already participate in BAM. Our BAM children have become some of our best evangelists!"
Hannah Mahr, a former BAM participant, summed it up well in her original poem,
Bethel BAM is buzzing with bumblebees.
It is a beehive with lots and lots of honey.
The bees love it in the hive!!!

Immensely popular in its day, "Sing, Sing, Sing" is the nadir of white jungle music. Not to be confused with the 1990s electronic drum-&-bass dance genre, jungle music in jazz has racist connotations. During long runs at such dubiously named Prohibition-era Manhattan nightspots as the Plantation Club and Cotton Club, Duke Ellington's nonpareil orchestra—ignominiously billed as The Jungle Band—entertained white patrons in jungle-themed floor shows with light-skinned Negro female dancers in loin cloths. "Sing, Sing, Sing" updates this foolishness to the Swing Era, and compounds the insult by being performed entirely by white men. Cringe, cringe, cringe at our ancestors' naďveté.

"... and compounds the insult by being performed entirely by white men. Cringe, cringe, cringe at our ancestors' naďveté." I don't know where to begin. First, speak for YOUR ancestors only. Leave mine out of it. Second, the possibility that the music was performed [gasp!] "entirely by white men" automatically makes its performance "foolishness" and an "insult"? I don't listen to music and check the ethnicity and sex of the musicians before rendering a "cringe" judgement. Finally, in the interest of brevity, what evolutionary development occurred in the last 60+ years that would make someone believe that people are so much more sophisticated and aware now? Perhaps, some people must believe THEY are more sophisticated and aware than others.

Henry Morris
From Conservapedia
This is the current revision of Henry Morris as edited by Philip J. Rayment (Talk | contribs) at 04:39, 30 October 2008. This URL is a permanent link to this version of this page.
Henry Morris 1918 to February 26th, 2006. President and founder of ICR from 1970 until 1995, and served as President emeritus until his death. Dr. Morris was the intellectual father of the modern creation science movement, and he also first coined the term "creation science".[1] A strong proponent of Young Earth Creationism, Morris believed the creation account of the Bible was literally true and scientific inquiry would support his assertions. He was a scientist himself, having graduated from Rice University in 1939 and that earned a master's degree and a Ph.D. in hydraulic engineering from the University of Minnesota. He was an author of many books against evolution and supporting creationism.Ken Ham, President of Answers in Genesis said,
"All of us in the modern creationism movement today would say we stand on his shoulders."
