To the Editor:—I have just read the excellent paper by Dr. Helen Dawson on the anatomic abnormalities in a set of pygopagus twins, published in the American Journal of Diseases of Children for December 1944.
For the sake of completeness, I wish to take exception to the statement made by Dr. Dawson, "A number of pygopagus twins have been described in the literature, but unfortunately no descriptions of complete dissections are available." I should like to call attention to a paper written by the late Dr. E. R. LeCount and me and published in the Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (3:171-192 [Feb.] 1927) giving a complete report on the observations at necropsy on the famous pygopagus twins, Rosa and Josepha Blazek. Although Dr. Dawson mentioned these twins in her paper and gave several references to them, she apparently had failed to see our paper, which summarizes the

I choose it to start a theme but I spend looooooong time to search where I must change it.
For exemple now I want to have 100% width size instead of fixed size. Is it possible easily without distroying all ?

TORONTO — Researchers found a significant increase in the need for surgery, complications of surgery and the risk of lower extremity amputation among patients with Charcot neuroarthropathy who developed an ulcer, according to results presented here.
"We had an overall limb salvage of 78.5% but, in looking at those patients we only deemed constructible, [this] increased to 87.5%," Nicholas Vaudreuil, MD, said in his presentation. "We did have a high mortality rate of 13.9% and most of these were the surgical patients; but for us, these were the more severe disease prostheses as marked by the lower hemoglobin in preop."

Beautiful powder

Comments about Healthy Finish Pressed Powder SPF 15 - Buff Beige:
I bought this powder at the same time that I purchased the new resist powder. I am in love with this one. It has amazing coverage and looks natural and pretty. After using PC skin products my face looks so much better. This powder just enhances my new better skin. It is better than high end department store powders that I have tried. I am not sure if this is being fazed out now but, I so hope not. Its gorgeous and the price of this and all of the PC products are budget friendly. Thank You PC for all of your skin and beauty products.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Oily in Vancouver
from Vancouver, Canada
I use this powder instead of foundation due to my oily T-zone. I have not found a foundation yet that will last from when I put it on in the morning til Noon without oiliness/shininess. This helps a great deal in absorbing the oils although I do touch up at 1:30 pm or so. To customer service, is Paula making a change here. I noticed your down to two colors now and it's half price. Please do not discontinue. Although I love the produce as it is if your thinking of making it better I'll go for that.
By Anne
from Boise, ID
I LOVE this powder. I'm not a huge make-up wearer. I have been a BM make up user for 10 years. I started using Paula's Choice skincare last year and after receiving a free eye pallet during one of my orders (and loving it) I decided to try this Healthy Finished Pressed Powder in Buff Beige. It is a great product. I can use it with BM, use it alone, or more recently use it with Paula's Barely There Sheer Matte Tint SPF 30. Of those combinations I feel like it goes best with the Barely There Sheer Matte Tint - the combination is flawless! I apply the pressed powder using my Heavenly Face Brush from BM (although I feel like you could use just about any brush). If I'm having a day where I just want to zap the shine and redness on my face this powder does wonders for that as well.I have nothing negative to say about it. Give it a try - even at it's full retail price it is still a bargain!

Not for me
By Chatou
from Gatineau, Québec
Buff beige is too dark for me. You need to bring back porcelaine for women with very fair skin. I feel that this powder is way too heavy and appears cakey on my skin. I have tried Paula's powders but unfortunately they give me a caked look and feel awful on my skin. I have tried puting on very lightly with a brush but to no avail. I look sick . This one is not for me.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Fresh, Light Finish

About Me Classic Style
Love the way this powder sets my makeup, or in daily use, finishes my face after applying sunscreen. Leaves my face with a nice light matte texture. It stays in place all day and keeps me looking my best!

EXCELLENT powder, even for aging skin!
By Catriona the Elder
from Colorado Springs, CO
About Me Natural Style
I took a chance on this powder, because it was so reasonably priced and had good reviews. I'm so glad I did - it's just what I wanted!Even at 61, I'm a lifelong tomboy and HATE wearing makeup. But, I still want to look pretty, so I wear the absolute minimum I can get away with. I never wear foundation (can't stand the feel or the look!) and have always used powder directly over my moisturizer and sunscreen. My primary reason for powder is to simply eliminate the "shine" and look a little more polished. I like a natural look, and thanks to lucky genes and the use of anti-aging treatments beginning in my 50s (note: they really work!) I'm fortunate to feel as though I don't need to "hide" my skin. This powder is perfect for me! It is light, soft, translucent, and provides just enough coverage yet is virtually invisible on my face. It does not settle into my wrinkles, and the finish is silky-soft, smooth, and natural. I plan to order another to keep in my purse, so I'll never be without it!
Love it!
By Cleo
from Bedford, Massachusetts
Love the finished look that I get with this.
Best Finishing Powder!
By beckypb
from Concord NC
I ordered this finishing powder just to try it and I was pleasantly surprised! I love the brush because it's silky smooth & it blends the powder easily. The finish is perfect for me - not a "flat matte" but a nice natural look that does not settle into fine lines. I use it with my foundation and without it over my spf if it's a day when I'm not putting on foundation. It just gives my skin that "finished look" and thanks to Paula's Choice products my skin looks so much better so I don't always put on foundation when I'm going out!
My #1 Powder
By Hana
from KSA
I use it daily to enhance my natural looking and to absorb oil for a mattifying finish.

Be the first to ask us a question about this product.
What makes this product unique? Healthy Finish Pressed Powder SPF 15 is a four-in-one product that sets makeup, refines skin, reduces shine, and adds broad-spectrum sun protection. This powder has a velvety feel that applies smoothly and offers light to medium coverage. It glides on to even out skin tone and minimize shine, while creating a smooth canvas for the application of powder blush. The titanium dioxide and zinc oxide-based sunscreen formula is perfect for extra sun protection on the go. May be used as a pressed powder foundation (best for normal to slightly dry or slightly oily skin), and is excellent for sensitive skin.
This product is 100% fragrance-free. Fill weight for this product is .39 oz.
Who is this product for? Healthy Finish Pressed Powder is recommended for all skin types who need to set makeup and add extra sun protection for daytime. It is suitable for those with rosacea and sensitive skin.
International Journal of Cancer, November 2004, pages 458–464; Cutis, September 2004, pages 13–16 and 32–34; Cosmetics & Toiletries, October 2003, pages 73–78; Anticancer Research, March–April 2003, pages 1,955–1,960; Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, August 2002, pages 40–50; Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, September 1999, pages 661–665.
Key Ingredients:
hydrogenated lecithin, zinc oxide, talc, squalane, titanium dioxide
Active Ingredients: Titanium Dioxide (5.80%), Zinc Oxide (7.75%). Other Ingredients: Mica, Talc (absorbent), Bismuth Oxychloride (all pigments, both natural and synthetic, used for coverage, cling and opacity), Squalane (emollient), Magnesium Carbonate (absorbent mineral), Octyldodecyl Myristate (emollient/binder), Dimethicone/Methicone Crosspolymer, Octyldodecanol (binding agent), Dimethicone (silicone slip agent), Hydrogenated Lecithin (emollient), Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate (antioxidants), Imidazolidinyl Urea (preservatives), Aluminum Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.
May Contain: Iron Oxide (CI 77491), (CI 77492), (CI 77491), Chromium Hydroxide Greens (CI 77288).
DIRECTIONS: For use as a finishing powder, Healthy Finish Pressed Powder can be applied with a powder brush. A standard pressed powder puff may be used as well by those who prefer more coverage or extra sun protection.
For brush application, pick up some powder on the full end of the brush, knock off the excess, and brush it on using the same motion and direction as you used for your foundation.
We do not recommend using Healthy Finish Pressed Powder wet—the sunscreen will likely be compromised and it has not been SPF-tested for wet application.
* Unless a significant layer of Healthy Finish Pressed Powder is applied, we do not recommend relying on it (or any SPF-rated pressed powder) as your sole source of sun protection. It is best to use an powder with sunscreen in conjunction with a moisturizer or foundation with an SPF 15 or greater that contains UVA-protecting ingredients.
Does Healthy Finish Pressed Powder SPF 15 work as my sole source of sun protection?
Not really, at least not unless you're willing to apply it in a thick layer. Since most people don't use powder in that manner (and for good reason!) Paula recommends that any pressed powder with sunscreen be used to enhance the sun protection you get from your daytime moisturizer or foundation with sunscreen. Healthy Finish Pressed Powder SPF 15 is great to brush on during the day to reduce shine and touch-up your sun protection!
Which type of foundation does Healthy Finish Pressed Powder SPF 15 work best with?
Although Healthy Finish Pressed Powder SPF 15 may be used with any foundation, it works best applied over liquid or cream foundations that have a smooth, non-powdery finish. If your foundation has a powdery finish, you may not need to apply a powder over it until later in the day, when it's time to touch-up your makeup.

These pants fit true to size..I'd say I'm really a 19...20 pants fit better and 18's fit but better when they've been worn a whole day but the 18W fit amazing. I bought a charcoal pair in store to start but went right back the next day for the black pair. Very slimming. The fabric flows through the hips and legs which gives me a straighter look rather than so curvy in the hips. I am 5'2 and the length could be a hair shorter but nothing I need to hem so I'd say they're good for 5'5 and under. No one at work could believe I bought these at Wal-Mart bc they appear of high quality. Do yourself a favor and buy these pants! I keep looking online for a light cream color to show up too!
Bought these pants after gastric bypass and purchased a size smaller than I thought I needed, but it fit perfectly! Will buy many more throughout my weight-losss journey!
Very comfortable and nice looking. I am 5'7' and they are long enough for heels. Easy to get up and down in. I work with babies so need to sit on floor with them, I am able to get up and down easily without showing any 'backside'! These pants are well worth the money.

Love this so much! Excellent style. Love how this came out. Thanks for sharing it.
Cute. Love the flow and weight of the hair.
"Everything exploded" is an understatement for what happened when you put this on tumblr. A year ago it was literally impossible to find the original artist for this. Nice to finally find you, though. Nice work, this was one of those pieces that really inspired me back then. It's also nice to see how you've progressed as an artist. <33
Hi! I absolutely love this and I was wondering if it would be okay with you if I used it to make a shirt? I won't be selling it or anything. The shirt will be only for me and I just think this is the perfect image for a Bubbline shirt!
This is really late for a reply but I'd honestly prefer you not if that's alright. <
I love love love love this.
This is my favorite bubbline fanart, thanks for creating it!
What did you use to edit this? and does the progrm cost money?
I drew this in Paint Tool Sai and yes it does. It's pretty cheap at 65 dollars but the program pays for itself by being a total beast.
Don't be sorry. You did a wonderful thing.
This is my favorite picture of them ever. Love your work
love it!!!!! :haert:
I GIVE UP! I legit have no pairings for this show anymore! This pic if pretty sick! I mean I was never a girlxgirl fan of anything but your deff better at this than me! (drawing I mean xD)

You SO meant to do that.
You SO meant to do that.
I love this picture!! I found it in a youtube video, and used it for a drawing practice thing on the iPad/iPod drawing app Sketch Club. The rule was to take an image, erase half, and recreate the missing piece, so I used your image.
I credited you, once someone linked me to this image, so I would like to ask if you are okay with me posting my half-version of it? XDD

In this paper we provide a system design method to solve the problem of developing a miniaturized portable digital TV set. For such a portable device it is very important to reduce its power consumption and extend its operation time as its battery is the only power source in the system. The hardware circuitry, therefore, must be relatively compact to be in accord with the high integration of the system-on-chip (SOC) and the proper selection of key components. Not only miniaturization can be realized but also cost and power dissipation of the system can be decreased. Whether the implementation can be achieved also depends on antenna efficiency and DVB-T receiver performance. Therefore it is vital to select the right radio frequency architecture, which affects both the signal reception and the power consumption. Based on the demands mentioned above we have chosen single a conversion architecture for the receiver. Furthermore, our design has a better performance than earlier designs because of the use of a shielding case and the appropriate filtering of power ripples. We implement the built-in spiral antenna body by means of the printed circuit board which is low-cost, wideband, small-sized, low-profile, and omnidirectional. Moreover, a heat sink conducts the heat outward and prevents overheating, thus ensuring operational safety.

Bought these because I was tired of loosing and storing the individual keys. I work on a lot of motorcycle and bicycle jobs and these can get into most tight spots. For the price you can afford to get another set of long handled "L" shaped hex keys for when these won't fit. My only gripe is when you torque down a few hex headed bolts these wrenches tend to loosen up a bit. It can be fixed by simply tightening them after they loosen or using some thread lock.
Most Liked Negative Review
Plastic handle can't be torqued on.
It's handy, but not for the times when you really need to torque on stuff. I'd get the set with a metal handle.

these hex keys are perfect. I like how they are on one key by type. makes searching for the right key a think of the pastone negative is that the paper that holds the keys together is the dickens to get off. I have not quite figured out how to remove it completely yet.

About Me Professional
Excellent ergo designed tools made in different colors so you can easily pick up the correct set the first time. The packaging is very unique in that you must use the tool in order to remove it from the cardboard packaging. This saved the manufacturer cost in packaging and directly lowers the price to you. This is good because it then forces you to set the correct tension on how you like each tool to come out of its slot. I purchased this metric, SAE, torx head set for my portable tool bag.

Abandoned and lost fishing gear makes up about 10 percent of the trash that collects in the world's oceans, according to a report from the United Nations. Much of this debris is lost in storms, vandalized or simply discarded. It piles up on beaches, creates a navigational hazard for boats or settles to the bottom, where it can damage sensitive ecosystems. Discarded nets can cause a particular problem as they continue to "ghost fish,"trapping fish and other sea animals like turtles, seabirds and dolphins.
You could say we're one year old today (even though technically, we're nearing 20 as a registered nonprofit). But one year ago, on 8 June 2011, Project AWARE Foundation refocused and relaunched our commitment to ocean protection. 8 June is also World Ocean Day - a time when AWARE divers around the world take action and celebrate the ocean. A perfect day for an anniversary, wouldn't you say?
Project AWARE Foundation staff are deeply saddened about the passing of a long-time colleague, mentor and friend Seba Sheavly. A leader in the marine debris field for two decades, Seba was a keystone figure in the conservation community and a tireless advocate for the ocean.

Sharp increase of small plastic debris in the 'Garbage Patch' could have ecosystem-wide consequences.
A 100-fold upsurge in human-produced plastic garbage in the ocean is altering habitats in the marine environment, according to a new study led by a graduate student researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.
Local PADI dive centre Adventure's Edge in conjunction with Oceans Research and Reef Divers will Dive against Debris on Tuesday, 01 May 2012 at Santos Reef, and will also be doing a shore based cleanup for the non divers, as part of Adventure's Edge, Oceans Research and Reef Divers commitment to protecting the ocean. Our trained divers not only remove underwater debris such as plastic bags, bottles, fishing line, and tyres , but also identify and document everything they see underwater in a larger effort to prevent marine debris.
One afternoon on the island of Koh Tao, a poor boat captain watched as his vessel filled with rubbish. Over five hours, ten volunteer divers removed a record amount of trash from one reef.
Some months earlier, in a bid to protect a shallow reef at Hin Ngam, local dive schools and the Save Koh Tao Group installed a 'No Boat' Zoning Line. But after the monsoon season New Heaven divers were astonished to find an 80 metre stretch of line covered in bags, ropes, and marine debris.
Celebrate Earth Day 2012 by Diving For Debris with Jupiter Dive Center! Join us Sunday morning to discuss marine debris in our local area and the effects on local marine life. We will go over methods of removing fishing line commonly found on our wrecks and reefs. What to take and what to leave. We will Dive Against Debris on the afternoon 2 tank dive and sort and record what we remove from the ocean. Divers will be given a cutting tool, mesh "trash" bags and a t-shirt commemorating the event. Participants will also receive the

Archaeologists at a Roman fort have made their latest discovery - a perfectly preserved 2,000-year-old wooden toilet seat.
Dr Andrew Birley, one of the experts at Vindolanda fort on Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, believes it is the only find of its kind.
The site has previously revealed gold and silver or artefacts which relate to the military might of the Roman army, as well as everyday items like letters, shoes and babies' booties.
Dr Birley, who is director of excavations at the fort, made the discovery himself in a muddy trench which was previously filled with historic rubbish. It was well preserved by the anaerobic, oxygen-free conditions among the refuse.
There are many examples of stone and marble toilet benches from across the Roman Empire but this is believed to be the only surviving wooden seat - perhaps preferred to a cold stone seat given the chilly northern location.
It was dumped from a fort which stood at the site before Hadrian's Wall was started in the early second century.
Dr Birley said: "There is always great excitement when you find something that has never been seen before and this discovery is wonderful.
"We know a lot about Roman toilets from previous excavations at the site and from the wider Roman world which have included many fabulous Roman latrines but never before have we had the pleasure of seeing a surviving and perfectly preserved wooden seat.
"As soon as we started to uncover it there was no doubt at all on what we had found. It is made from a very well worked piece of wood and looks pretty comfortable.
"Now we need to find the toilet that went with it as Roman loos are fascinating places to excavate - their drains often contain astonishing artefacts.
"Let's face it, if you drop something down a Roman latrine you are unlikely to attempt to fish it out unless you are pretty brave or foolhardy."
It will go on show at the museum once it has undergone a preservation process.

and platforms for dreams to be fulfilled.
Founding Story
It started with a film, but was inspired by a young woman named Eunice. In 2010, Nikole traveled to Kenya to film her senior thesis film, While Women Weep—highlighting stories of women who have overcome adversity and are inspiring their communities. Marion met Nikole during that time, coordinating logistics for the production of the film. As they traveled throughout Kenya together, they learned about the issues prevalent in slum communities surrounding women. They heard story after story of women that lacked educational opportunities were more vulnerable to sexual violence.
Our Team
Nikole Lim is a speaker, educator and consultant on leveraging dignity through the restorative art of storytelling. Nikole shifts paradigms on how stories are told by platforming voices of the oppressed —sharing stories of immense beauty arising out of seemingly broken situations. Nikole graduated with a degree in Film Production from Loyola Marymount University and is currently pursuing a masters in Global Leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary. She is a native of the Bay Area and can often be found in Los Angeles. Her heart beats for young women whose voices are silenced by oppression and desires to see every person realize the transformative power of their own story.
Since visiting a rural community of extreme poverty in 1999, Marion's heart became entwined in mission work in sharing the needs and challenges of others. She has actively participated in missions that have involved scouting for church planting areas and supporting humanitarian works in marginalized areas of Kenya. And that's what her life has been about.
A wife and mother, Marion holds a Bachelor of Science in Communication and Public Relations from Moi University, Kenya and has years of working experience in journalism, electronic media and print media. She has served as the Editor/Publications Manager for The Salvation Army's War Cry Magazine and has widely been published in various local and international publications.Once a beneficiary of the 2010 Belz International Media Fellowship, through the World Journalism Institute, Marion's desire is to continually keep in step with the Lord's will as she gives herself to being an agent of hope and change. Her work and walk with the Lord has continually confirmed that she was cut for this life—the life of service.

Now this is really funny. Joe Horn, who was fined $30,000 two seasons ago for using a cell phone during a touchdown celebration, wants Falcons head coach Jim Mora Jr. docked the same amount for using a cell phone during Saturday's overtime loss to the Bucs. According to NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, " ... the use of cell phones on the sidelines is prohibited." Luckily, Joe Horn wants to make it clear that he has nothing against Mora:

Our good friend Bill Krasker has done the math and says the Falcons shouldn't have punted with 1:08 left in overtime. Lucky for Bill, he didn't suggest this to Jim Mora Jr. during the Falcons' post-game radio show.

Still no word on the extent of Tedy Bruschi's injury during the Monday night game, but the fact that he was hurt while covering a punt again raises the question about having starters on special teams. I know the idea is to have the best players on the field, but there are 53 roster spots.

The Ravens started the season 3-8, and now have a realistic chance to finish 4-1. I don't know if the teams' recent success has anything to do with owner Steve Bisciotti bringing Billick back, but I'm guessing it didn't hurt.
"We have an ongoing and extensive process to find ways to win," Bisciotti said in a statement released by the team. "This included a thorough evaluation of Brian Billick. Collectively, we concluded that continuing with Brian as head coach gives us the best opportunity to win."

In today's TMQ, Gregg Easterbrook points out that the Falcons were right to punt during overtime, informs us that David Carr called his own plays during a 24-point half against the Cardinals (and suggests more QBs should be allow to do the same), and says the Texans-49ers game might actually be worth watching. Also, Stat of the Week No. 2, and Sweet Player of the Week No.

King has some thoughts on the Dungy family tragedy, lists the Patriots ahead of Seattle and Denver in the Fine Fifteen, thinks Steve McNair should hang it up, and has a really funny quote from a Cardinals fan during the team's last game in Sun Devil Stadium.

Yes, the Steelers defense seems to be hitting their stride at exactly the right time, but I found this paragraph from the article particularly interesting:
"The Steelers have reasserted themselves as a dominant defense, ranked No. 3 in the NFL overall (281.9 yards per game) and No. 2 against the rush (84.2). As a team, the Steelers have allowed the third-fewest points per game in the NFL at 15.8, but one touchdown came on an interception return and another on a blocked field goal. There also was a kickoff returned to their 3 that became a touchdown two plays later."

Richard Dent says his status as a player from a historically black college makes it harder for him to get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. "Guys from black schools seem to have a hard time when it comes down to Hall of Fame situations," Dent told The New York Post.
I criticized the Hall of Fame for its failure to induct the black football pioneer Fritz Pollard, who finally got in this year. But I've never seen any evidence that the college a player attended has any impact at all on whether he gets inducted in Canton.

Today, instead of his usual press conference, Bill Belichick took all the reporters into a meeting room and showed archival footage of the Great Lakes Naval Station team of the early 40s, commenting on differences between historical football and today's NFL. Then he showed film from a 1941 game between the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions, featuring a part-time running back and punt returner named Steve Belichick. Raise your hand if you wish you had been a Pats beat reporter today. Yep, me too. This is pretty damn cool.

In the time I've lived in Chicago, I've engaged a lot of football fans in a lot of conversations. And do you know something I've never heard anyone say? "We need a second NFL team." But Mayor Daley wants to build a domed stadium that would attract the Olympics to Chicago in 2016, and he thinks the way to get financing for the stadium is to bring another NFL team to the Windy City. I think this is about as likely as the Cubs moving to Albuquerque and changing their name to the Isotopes.

The 2015 Saints were the worst defense we have ever measured, and Brandon Browner set a single-season record for penalties, so it's no surprise to see him at the bottom of the coverage tables.

A Hallmark Holiday – by April Cushing
April Cushing is the Adult Services Librarian at the Morrill Memorial Library in Norwood. Read April's entire column this week in the Norwood Transcript and Bulletin.
Valentine's Day has, mercifully, come and gone. Not my finest hour. A veteran of more than a half century of this holiday, I proved it's still possible to completely miss the point. In case you're wondering, there is a connection to the Morrill Memorial Library here, however tenuous, which I promise I'll get to.
To cut to the chase (if, like me, you love idioms, check out I'm Not Hanging Noodles On Your Ears: and Other Intriguing Idioms from Around the World (call #418 Bhalla), I was the victim of a Bad Valentine. After a routine Saturday at the Reference Desk, breaking for a convivial lunch at Conrad's where my colleagues and I shared funny stories from our previous marriages, I reflected on my blessings: the library printer was fixed, the 1040 instruction booklets had finally arrived, I had successfully put two posts on our new website and gone to the gym. While I haven't dropped a pound I'm pleased to report I can now pedal four miles without wanting to puke. Life was good.Arriving home to answer Cupid's call I found my significant other marinating steak tips and breaking open the Malbec. Two envelopes leaned suggestively against a vase of long-stemmed red roses. I tore open the first one—a cute card from Duffy, our favorite canine companion. (I'd gotten him the same one.) Smiling, I reached for the second envelope.At the risk of violating copyright law I'll quote here: "Sometimes I wonder why I put up with you…" A tiny red flag was starting to flutter but I soldiered on."…Oh yeah, now I remember, you put up with me!"Just in case I'd missed something I reread it, silently.I've known this man since our kids were in nursery school together—i.e. a long time. Since we've been a couple for several of those years it's probably safe to say the initial bloom is off the rose. Even so, I was a little taken aback. Make that momentarily speechless."Of all the romantic, lovey-dovey cards at CVS you chose this one?" I hated the way I sounded but couldn't help myself. Whether sappy or sexy, Valentine's Day is all about schlock, right?"I thought it was funny," he replied lamely."Which part would that be?" I asked.Without burdening you with the rest of the exchange, suffice to say the candlelit dinner never came off. I grabbed the leash, the flashlight and the dog, clearly the only resident male capable of picking a proper Valentine.There's nothing like a brisk march around the block to put things in perspective. Realizing how unfairly I'd behaved, I tucked my tail between my legs and prepared to apologize. Preferably over those chocolate-covered strawberries I'd seen in the fridge. Only my not-so-funny valentine wasn't yet in the mood to make up. The fact that the floral arrangement was conspicuously absent was my first hint.After reading the same paragraph three times in The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox (FICTION O'Farrell), I tried again. Expecting to find my loved one pretending to watch some grim show about predators in the wild but feeling terrible, I tiptoed into the TV room. He was cracking up at Steve Carell in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" (DVD Forty FEATURE FILM).Fast forward two days to February 14. We're at Legal C Bar for dinner with my 86-year-old mother—I know, dumb move. The wait is too long, the music too loud, the lighting too low and I'm praying my pomegranate lemon drop martini arrives soon when I spot a large red envelope. I'll spare you the details, but it was about as gaudy as they get."What utter schmaltz," my mother declares.I love every word, especially the handwritten note: "This is what I really meant. I love you, honey."When my college-age daughter called later I recited the first card to her, from memory. She started laughing. "It's true, Mom, he does put up with you." Gee, thanks."And you put up with him. That's what relationships are all about. Besides, it's just a stupid card. Think about all the nice things he does for you." She's 20, for chrissake (www.urbandictionary.com). Since when did she get so savvy about this stuff?For further clarification on the subject I invite you to check out Fight Less, Love More: 5-Minute Conversations to Change Your Relationship without Blowing Up or Giving In by Laurie Puhn, Harvard-trained family law attorney and couples mediator (646.78 PUHN). "Learn how to identify bad verbal habits, short-circuit arguments, prevent overreactions (who, me?) and orchestrate the perfect apology, all in less time than it takes to have another fight." Where the heck was this a week ago? Her sensible message is Stop Keeping Score and Start Loving More.
I can't speak for you, but since I skimmed through the book last night I can honestly say we haven't had a single blow-up. When my beloved told his buddy about our Valentine's Day debacle his response was, "that's why you're so good for each other. You each have a lot of warts but you love each other in spite of them."Hallmark sentiments aside, isn't that what Valentine's Day is all about?

Are Rorschach tests still used as a diagnostic tool today, or are they just a relic from the 60's? If they are still in use, what sort of information do they provide?
Sign up

Yes, they are still in use, and they provide rather bad information. My former advisor once worked with a clinician who told him that the main reason they're any better than using the weather report as a projective stimulus is that the Rorschach tests have been in use as-is for decades. Hence we have a better understanding of how people normally react to them, and some catalog of unusual reactions that have been associated with particular characteristics. Had we started with a set of weather reports and stuck with them though, maybe not much else would be different.
Anyway, here are some excerpts from Wikipedia about usage:
And about the objects of (intended / purported) measurement:
The whole controversy over the Rorschach test leads us to see it as a useful medium but not as a valid personality test.
In using the Rorschach test, the tester should then focus on how the subject considers the test procedure, the pictures and how he/she identifies the inkblots... or refuses to, rather than focus on what the subject tells he sees.
As @NickStauner states, in this regard you could even use weather forecasts as a test medium... Rorschach inkblots in this respect are probably appreciated because they show a rich palette of patterns and colors which have already been listed and commented.

Two events will mark this year's Grammy awards, the never thought possible reunion of the Beach Boys and the Two events will mark this years Grammy awards, the never thouhght possible reunion of the Beach Boys and the death of the 80's diva Whitney Houston. One might wonder what would interest a religious writer about this celebrity's life and death. Let's just say it offers a cautionary tale.
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
Dead at 48. Does anyone need to wonder why? I just remember a few of her music videos during the 80's, and was sad later to see the interviews where she looked as strung-out as any crack addict, while claiming crack was too cheap for hear. What makes the more expensive stuff any better though, really?
Pardon the "pasting" error on this post. I'm using a smartphone that is smarter than I am. :)
So another Junkie dies, who cares?? Why people get so enthralled with these court jester types is beyond me, for the most part they are losers and arguably the dumbest people I have ever met.
Yeah I know...she was classy...then she was trashy.
Not to be insensitive, but back in the day the pundits called Elvis "just another dead doper" upon his death.
So many great talents lost to drugs, sad. I don't know what caused the end this women's life, but I do know that drugs were a great contributor if not the final arbiter.
I just saw Whitney Houston and Elvis, both in sunglasses walking down the Las Vegas strip together. Nobody even noticed them.... you read it here first....8^)
Mayhap because we admire their talent and will miss their artistic contribution to society?
Throughout history we have had heroes that have inspired us, yet their lives were less then exemplar. Yet they remain our heroes because of what they contributed.
Does everyone know that Whitney Houston was the niece of Dionne Warwick?
Years ago, that fact came up from time to time. But I haven't heard it mentioned at all upon her death. Nor have I heard any public statement from Dionne Warwick. If they had a family falling out, that's a tragic post script to her death.
Exactly. A beautiful, talented woman who became a cautionary tale.
There was no falling out. Warwick did make a brief statement.
Also, Aretha Franklin was her godmother.
Enough already. Look, she was a once very talented young lady who blew it on drugs and selling her soul for the "life". We don't need another two weeks of the MSM accolades heaping praise on another fading and failed dead junkie.
I don't follow the pop culture but as soon as I heard she sang in the choir as a child, I knew she like Elvis died daily in their lives by carrying the convictions of their sins. Both of these singers were given a gift from God, which was a reminder daily of how much He loved them. But no, they turned around and said thank you to the Devil. That is why they were so tortured. May God have mercy on both Whitney and Elvis' souls.
I swear I read somewhere that she talked to Dionne the day she died...
Yes, it has been mentioned. She was also related to Aretha Franklin. In fact, Dionne Warwick escorted the body back with the family and was with them to make arrangements at the funeral home.
Whitney started out as a "church girl". Guess she could have used a real life bodyguard...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qd6VQpe6e5I
She was a gifted performer, and it was sad to see her and her family suffer then and now.
She did not forget where she came from. She was very altruistic. The final tribute paid to her will be back at the church she sang at. These are the people who knew her gift before the rest of the world.
I am so disappointed with what I'm seeing on thread. I'm not star struck and don't mourn her passing more or less than any the death of any of Gods children. But to read things in the vein of "just another dead junkie" on what I had thought was a Christian website saddens me.
Jesus made it very clear that if we judge others in an absence of grace, we will not receive his grace.
We are all hopelessly flawed and fall short of what God demands from us. Her failings may have more dramatic than those posting such things but none of us deserve Gods grace. This is the amazing thing about God's grace; it's forgiveness we don't deserve. And God's grace knows no limits.
And by the way, the last song she sung publicly was an impromptu rendition of "Jesus Loves me." I have sinned too many times to judge her. I need God's grace.
The liberal cult leads to hopelessness, emptiness and death. Welcome to obamaville.
Pray for America
What were the odds of that? Her last performance could have been any one of a thousand songs.
I received that as The Lords gift to Whitneys mom; assuring her that her daughter is safe and with Him now, TRULY free at last.
Thank you for those words. I have no use for most celebrities beyond the talents they offer, but they, like us, are human. While I have not been involved in drug use, I am far from perfect. I regret that so many can wave off the loss of a human life so coldy, with insults and name-calling on the way out. There is no need to celebrate her failings, but a little compassion, or simply keeping quiet if that is not possible, seems in order...
Well said NClaw!!
Thanks for the great conversation and insight.
Blessings to you all,

- Fine-tuning selections with Refine Edge
- Working with selections in Quick Mask mode
- Moving, modifying, and combining selections

(piano music) - Hello and welcome. I'm Jan Kabili, your instructor for Photoshop CS4 Selections In Depth. In this course, I'll be teaching you how to make, modify and use selections. You'll learn all the manual and automatic selection methods that Photoshop has to offer. As you move through the course, keep in mind a couple of points about making selections. First, before you use the selection tool, take a minute to evaluate the image so that you choose the best tool for the job.
If you want to select objects of the same color, you might try the Color Range command. Or, if you want to select a subject that has a well-defined edge, try the Quick Selection Tool. You don't have to stick with just one method to make a good selection. You might make an initial rough selection using one method, and then clean up that selection using another method. This course focuses on selections. But from time to time, I'll talk about other features as they come up. If you want to learn more about those features please watch my course called, Photoshop CS4 Essential Training.
Now, let's get started with Photoshop CS4 Selections In Depth.

Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power.
René Descartes (1596 - 1650)

Of all things, good sense is the most fairly distributed: everyone thinks he is so well supplied with it that even those who are the hardest to satisfy in every other respect never desire more of it than they already have.
Source: Discours de la Méthode. 1637.
A state is better governed which has but few laws, and those laws strictly observed.
Cogito ergo sum. (I think, therefore I am.)
If we possessed a thorough knowledge of all the parts of the seed of any animal (e.g. man), we could from that alone, be reasons entirely mathematical and certain, deduce the whole conformation and figure of each of its members, and, conversely if we knew several peculiarities of this conformation, we would from those deduce the nature of its seed.
These long chains of perfectly simple and easy reasonings by means of which geometers are accustomed to carry out their most difficult demonstrations had led me to fancy that everything that can fall under human knowledge forms a similar sequence; and that so long as we avoid accepting as true what is not so, and always preserve the right order of deduction of one thing from another, there can be nothing too remote to be reached in the end, or to well hidden to be discovered.
When writing about transcendental issues, be transcendentally clear.

Patti Golden, an Ellis Island veteran will walk us through the logistics of the magical, historical and spacious myriad opportunities to have a truly unique party, even for a jaded New Yorker! We will explore all the indoor and outdoor options as well as the operations side of having guests take ferries, vendors make deliveries and hosts feel comfortable. The historical significance of many of the spaces and the grounds are only a few of the secrets that we will reveal that guests can revel in when spending a night on Ellis Island.

When using a heatsink that's on a vertical T220 or T247 and that rests on the board below it, should you clear the copper under the heatsink? I'm thinking this type of sink. I mean the transistor SHOULD be isolated from the sink (if you use an isolating washer), so it shouldn't be a problem. But is it good practice to do it anyway?

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Kompas Dubrovnik
Un bon point de départ pour explorer la Vieille Ville
Nous avons pass� quatre nuits � l'h�tel Kompas. On nous a donn� la chambre familiale id�ale ; la chambre des enfants �tait s�par�e de la notre par un paravent. Elle �tait propre et poss�dait la climatisation, ce dont nous avions vraiment besoin ! La piscine �tait tr�s jolie et le service �tait de bonne qualit�. L'h�tel �tait id�alement situ� pour une famille : la plage �tait au seuil de notre porte, la zone pi�tonne avec ses caf�s et restaurants �taient juste � l'ext�rieur de l'entr�e principale de l'h�tel et la Vieille Ville �tait � quelques minutes en bus. Les bus �taient tr�s fr�quents et � l'heure en plus d'offrir un service professionnel : nous avons trouv� cela avantageux plut�t que d�cevant. Le Kompas �tait l'un des h�tels qui offraient le meilleur rapport qualit�/prix de ceux o� nous avons s�journ� en famille. Il �tait plut�t luxueux compar� au h�tel de m�me standing dans d'autres villes de Croatie.
Great location for a lovely break !
Had a lovely week at this friendly and well managed hotel. The location on the side of the bay was breathtaking and breakfast / dinner on the terrace was enchanting. The buffet was good and well presented - lots of choice and well replenished.
The room we had was at the back of the hotel and was very clean, roomy and quiet - we were grateful for the air conditioning.The staff were always friendly.
It was nice to be close to the Old Town by bus - but also to be away from the traffic at the Hotel - The walk along the promenade each night was a perfect end to the day . People watching from the swinging seats was a real treat.
We loved what we saw of Croatia and will return.
Costa Del Sol Style Hotel
Booked a two week family holiday to unwind and relax. We paid extra for the sea view ....which was fabulous...HOWEVER the balcony overlooked the entertainment area at the front of the hotel and every night at 8.00pm the music started and went on until 11.30pm ...and it was LOUD. There was little or no point trying to have an evening meal in the hotel restaurant as you could not conduct a conversation over the noise and sleeping was not an option. Suggested to the management that if they cut the noise level in half it would not in anyway effect the enjoyment of the guests wanting to listen to the music and would enable those guests wanting to sleep the luxury of some peace - but we had no joy.
On one particular night there was competing entertainment from the Hotel Kompass and the local pop festival. This went on until 3.00am. My partner in desperation ...having tried sleeping in the bath, with ear plugs, went up to reception to complain only to find a queue of unhappy guests, some of whom were demanding the police we called.
Would strongly suggest avoiding this hotel unless you really enjoy the costa del sol, love loud music, cheesy 1970's decore, poor service and awful food .....one to be avoided!!
A great base to explore the Old Town
We stayed at the Kompas Hotel for 4 nights. We were given the perfect family room, with the childrens room separated from our room by a partition. It was clean and had great air conditioning which we badly needed! The pool was lovely and the service was good. The location was fine for a family - the beach was on our doorstep, the pedestrian area with its cafes and restaurants right outside the front door, and the old town a short bus ride away. The buses were very frequent and reliable and added to the experience - so we found this a plus rather than a disappointment. This was one of the best value hotels we have stayed in as a family - and positively luxurious compared to the standard of some of the other hotels elsewhere in Croatia!
Perfect place to stay in Dubrovnik
The hotel Kompas is a great place to stay. The staff was wonderful and we enjoyed getting to know them. They have live entertainment every night, as well as World Cup matches on a big screen TV! It is a short bus ride to the old town-of which would be nice to stay in, but during the day it has become overrun with tourists. Therefore staying in Lapud was very enjoyable for us. The walk to Levanant Restaurant along the coast (which starts right beside Hotel Kompas) is very romantic, and we had dinner a few nights on the outdoor patio overlooking the sea. The rooms were very nice for a class 3 hotel in Croatia. The food that is included with the half-board was buffet, but it was really not bad. A fine selection of wine too! The hotel is great for families and we will certainly be returning when we have kids!
Good average hotel in a great location
My husband, teenage son and I have just got back from a few pleasant days in the Hotel Kompas. We paid an average of �50 pppn for a double room and a double room for sole use. The (adjoining) rooms were on the eighth floor (reception is on the ninth) and were of a reasonable size and clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were OK but could have done with extractor fans.
The service was courteous and helpful at all times, and although the hotel is used a lot by package tours we, as independent travellers, felt just as welcome. The indoor (salt water) pool (on the eighth floor) is a big plus, but there were only two showers which could be a problem if the pool is busy.
The buffet breakfast was pretty good - wide range of cereals and yoghourts, ham, cheese, tomatoes, fruit, cakes, various breads, range of teas and coffee etc plus sausage, bacon and egg if you wished. We only ate at the hotel on one other occasion (lunch when we arrived) but that was fine.
The location is great, with a pleasant shingle beach only yards from the ground floor entrance. We had a couple of good swims there. There are plenty of bars and restaurants on the pedestrianised road to the main streets and bus stop to the Old Town, and a supermarket within easy reach. The bars were a bit empty, though, at the end of October. The bus (number 6) to the Old Town is frequent and takes you to just outside the Pile Gate - fare is 8kn each way. You can buy bus tickets at the hotel reception and (I'm told) they will back unused ones.
We were not plagued with music/noise for hours on end as other reviewers were, probably because it was the end of the season, but the beach cafe did pump out non-stop pop music during the afternoon.
All-in-all we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the hotel. If the furnishings and fitments of the rooms and bathrooms were upgraded a bit it would be even better.
Don't stay here!!
This was the second worst hotel we have ever stayed in and we travel extensively for work and play. This hotel is located opposite a beach bar which has loud music that starts at 9am and goes on into the night. All the seaview rooms that you pay a premium for (and which we stayed in) overlook the bar, the restaurant (with constant smells) and pool. These rooms are also above the 'entertainment area' which is where they play very loud, cheesy live music EVERY night from 8ish onwards. The rooms have patio doors to the balconies that are not secured properly so through my earplugs, head under pillows ...I could still tell you what Eagles/Beatles/sad 70's song the group was playing. The rooms are very basic but clean, the food is fine but the service varies depending on where you sit or who you are dealing with. The view from these rooms is fabulous..if you are high enough to see the bay, we had to change rooms because they tried to fob us off with a pool view room for just under �1,000 for 8 nights..value for money? definately not, would we stay here again? absolutely, definately not!! save your money and stay in any other Lapad Penninsular hotel..the view is fabulous and you won't have the dreadful noise or smells we had to put up with. And a tip for Dubrovnik in general: if your idea of an ideal holiday is smoking, drinking and subathing, you will love it.
Kompas a solid 3-star close to the beach
The Hotel Kompas is in the suburb of Lapad where many other hotels are found in Dubrovnik. It is located on a small bay close to a pedestrian promenade. It has 8 floors, with the Reception located on the 9th floor. We paid extra for a seaview room, but we were disappointed as we were only 2 flights above ground level and we could not see the sea, but had a great view of the hotel pool! The location is great - you can easily access public transit to visit the old city, there are restaurants lining the promenade as well as bars and other small shops and if you walk along the peninsula you can access more secluded swimming locations. The breakfast was good and the service on the pool deck was superb. There is nightly entertainment on the street level terrace.
Quite awful (at first) then it improved.
Be very careful about this hotel, it is not suitable for single travellers - you will be placed in a very very small and unpleasant room which is what I experienced for 130 EUR per night.
Upon requesting to change rooms, I was met with a soviet style service that it wasn't possible as there were no spare rooms. At this point I decided to move hotels the next day.
It was only until I asked for the name of the manager, did the receptionist move me to a much more pleasant sea view room (they do exist). I was very unhappy however about being treated in this way.
The breakfast was quite basic and the hotel mainly catered for package holidays. I did enjoy the swimming pool and the beautiful view - but it was not worth the amount paid.
Hotel Kompas and Dubrovnik were a great combination!
I recently had the opportunity to spend two days in Dubrovnik and thoroughly enjoyed my stay in part because of the Hotel Kompas. Being a medieval walled city, there are not many contemporary lodging opportunities available within old town Dubrovnik. In researching the area, it was clear that the city was surrounded by beaches and that a nearby hotel along the water would have me close to the city, but also give me the chance to soak up some of the Adriatic sunshine. The Kompas did just that. The bus stop to the city is down the street from the hotel, while the Hotel itself overlooks the beautiful blue Adriatic. My room was comfortable and modern with a fabulous balcony to sit and look out over the sea and hotel pool. The Hotel facilities were great and included a lobby bar, patio bar and restaurant, pool deck and access to the beach. The staff at the hotel were extremely courteous and helpful. Definitely consider Dubrovnik and the Hotel Kompas. I will definitely return.

The Island Bar & Grill in Pottboro is one of the most popular lake restaurants. Their chef, Josh Aaron, joins us to share a quick recipe for a stuffed green chile to enjoy this holiday weekend if you have plans to grill - or head out to the Island Bar & Grill.
For your stuffed stuffed green chile, add any ingredients you like. We chose cheese, marinated baby shrimp, bacon, and chopped cilantro. Around a quarter of a cup for each ingedient to each chile.
Blanche the chile so they won't tear if they are stiff.
Cook on the grill until there is a good mark on them. Pop into the oven if you desire to soften them.
