Exploring The Absurdity Of Household Objects
Multidisciplinary artists Kristine Alksne and Pernille Andersen collaborated on the "Domestic Stories" to explore the intersection of set design and set styling. The photo series, which features tableaux of household objects, evokes an aura of elegance with a touch of absurdity. Despite the random array of objects in each image, there is an overarching sense of continuity. Not only that, each setup seems to be in motion with its own personality.

Fire started at the air conditioner. Air conditioner fan had been repaired and replaced two times prior. General Motors was contacted after filing for the lemon law. I was told that my car was purchased "used" in 2004, therefore did not qualify for the lemon law.
On Oct 8, 2007, Allison from General Motors Product Allegation Resolution Dept called to inform me that the car did have a defect. General Motors wanted to fix it. The dealership did not. They said it was totaled.
I informed Allison that if the car was totaled, I wanted a replacement vehicle. She said I did not have that option and there was no supervisor that I could speak to either. The final decision was hers.
My vehicle was used to transport my handicapped child and his wheelchair. I needed another truck. The insurance company valued my car at: $10,998.14
On Jan 16, 2008, six months later, General Motors finally agreed to pay off my car. They offered me $8800 to repurchase my vehicle. They told me to go to the dealership and get my check.
Once I arrived, the dealership told me that they had my check but I had to make out a check of my own for $1819.94 payable to General Motors!!
The car burns down, its a manufacturer defect, admitted to by General Motors and I have to pay them money!!
I declined their offer. Now I must put my child's power wheelchair hanging out half out of the trunk of my little Suzuki Forenza and pray that it doesn't fall out.

As a general rule, a high quality pet food should have all the daily nutrition your pet needs. However, there are times in your dog's life when feeding a premium pet food is simply not enough and additional supplementation is called for.
Pets that are injured or ill may go through stresses that a normally healthy pet will not. During times like these it is often advisable for pets to be supplemented with additional vitamins like our LifeStage Select® Multivitamins or our high-calorie, high energy Vitacal® formula to ensure proper nutrition.
Your senior pet does not have the same needs as a puppy or young adult. As such there are additional supplements you can give to help promote her health and wellness. A premium vitamin like our LifeStage Select® Senior Plus with glucosamine or our Joint Care products can help to support healthy joints and internal systems.
Puppies, especially those found as strays or adopted from a shelter can oftentimes be malnourished when you first bring them home. The growing needs of a puppy can demand additional and specialized nutrition to help ensure good health. Supplements like our Vitacal® or LifeStage Select® Puppy Multivitamins are designed to guarantee your puppy receives all the vitamins and minerals he needs.
In light of controversies over pet foods some pet owners have opted to create their own specialty diets at home, for example the BARF (biologically appropriate raw foods) diet. One of the things pet owners must remember if feeding a raw food or homemade diet is there is no guarantee of complete daily nutrition. Any pet fed a raw food or homemade diet should also be given a daily multivitamin supplement to ensure appropriate nutrient levels are reached.

" Their 'luggage storage' to setting your bag on the side of the front desk next to a door that leads outside the building....not very secure if you ask me. Also, their lockers in the rooms only take a certain type of lock, which was frustrating. My light on my bed was out, so asked to have fixed first thing in morning, then again late afternoon. It was never fixed. However, the hostel was clean, beds were comfy and a nice location. "- candacespiegel7055

My husband and I are expecting our first child (daughter - due February 24th). For a variety of reasons, despite our belief in organic and green living, have decided to go with disposable diapers, but we want to use the healthiest and safest (and most effective) brand possible. I'm curious about the brand of diapers other families in this group use (along with wipes and skin products for baby). This is my first post to the group, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
healthy disposable diapers?
We use Nature babycare diapers and I think they work great. Not as soft as name brands, but not bad either. Cute neutral leaf design. Buy them on diapers.com by the case. As far as wipes go, we just use baby wash cloths for wet diaper clean up. I bought a ton of them and just wash them all the time.
DS - 9/06 | DD - 8/09 | Baby #3 4/14
Check them out at www.gdiapers.com
also, we used huggies pure and natural from time to time and I really liked those.

Genital Integrity IS a human right.
I use cloth diapers and love them but if you want disposable ones I would suggest Seventh Generation. They are chlorine free, latex free and fragrance free. Most diapers are made with absorbent materials that have been bleached with chlorine containing substances, which creates dangerous toxins such as dioxin. Studies have shown a direct link between dioxin exposure and cancer, birth defects, and environmental and reproductive disorders. They also use an absorbent polymer (gel) which is non toxic. (I took this info from their package)
I'm using Huggies pure and natural, and I really like them. They are soft, made out of organic cotton, and absorbent. I'm never had one of them leak.
Married my high school sweetheart 9/1/2008
Welcomed baby Kaylynne 12/21/2009
Huggies Pure and Natural are made of organic cotton which is good but what kind of chemicals are used inside the diaper to absorb the pee? I would research that.
I am a HUGE g-diapers fan. I have used everything (literally) and find these are the best. They are a bit pricy u fpront, but in the long run they are cheaper for us. They ahve the benfit of disposals, because you just throw away the inserts or flush them down the toilet, but they leak less, smell less, are cute, easy to use, biodegradeable, . I mean they are really just fantastic! I would at least give them a try. i find them on sale alot on diapers.com
We use cloth but have occasionally used disposables. I would recommend 7th Gen. As PP noted they are chlorine, latex and fragrance free but they do still contain dyes. The only diaper I've come across w/ no dyes is the Whole Foods 365 brand. They are not as soft as 7th Gen's though and I believe 7th Gen hold more (for overnights).
Smile, it makes people wonder what you're up to....
I abhored the Huggies Pure and Natural. 75+% of them leaked for my little guy. I like 7th Generation okay, but my SIL (who also has a boy) said that they leaked often for her (I didn't have that problem). Of the natural disposables I've used (I use disposables at night and cloth during the day as my little guy gets BAD diaper rash if we use cloth at night), I like Earth's Best a lot. You can buy them for cheaper on amazon mom!

You would be surprised that green diapers actually perform better than traditional diapers! BabyGearLab put together a fantastic review of 20 disposable diapers testing them for their absorbency, fit/leakage and comfort, plus listing their hypoallergenic qualities. It's pretty amazing how in-depth the study is, plus they've written articles about the many safety and health factors regarding disposable diapers. Here's the link: www.babygearlab.com/Disposable-Diap...
I plan to do disposable Bambo diapers (see diapers.com) until full nights sleep/initial crazy is over/LO fits gDiaper Medium then do gDiaper cloth with the flushable inserts used any time I leave the house

What Your Object Storage Vendor Isn't Telling You About NFS Support
George Crump, Storage Switzerland
Aug 23 2016
61 mins
NFS has been the "go to" file system for large data stores but there is a new offering on the horizon...Object Storage. To help ease the transition, many Object Storage vendors have provided a gateway that allows their systems to look like NFS servers. The problem is that most of these implementations are very limiting and often create more problems than they fix. In this webinar Storage Switzerland and Caringo will discuss why object storage systems are the heir apparent to NFS servers and how to make that transition without the typical roadblocks that NFS gateways create.

Exemplary Customer Service Starts with the Right Ingredients
Dave Atherton, Head of Customer Services at AO.com; David Wilson, Head of IT at AO.com
Aug 17 2016
4 mins
AO.com, the award winning UK online retailer which specialises in household appliances, was clear on the right ingredients, but it needed the right technology to deliver them to its customers. The first step on this journey was deciding who to buy the technology from, and there started the relationship with Interactive Intelligence.
With the implementation of the Interactive Intelligence Customer Interaction Center (CIC) AO.com know exactly at which part of the journey a customer is and can interact with them accordingly. AO.com can now detect if a customer is ringing on the day of their delivery. If they are, there is a 90 percent chance they want to find out what time their new washing machine or oven will be arriving. To save the customer spending time waiting to speak to an operator, AO.com automatically tells the customer what their delivery time is. This result is a 50 percent drop out at this point as this information is exactly what customers wanted to find out.
David Atherton, Head of Customer Service at AO.com commented "It is a great service, as the customer gets the information they need without having to ask and it works for us as it leaves the agents free to deal with customers who do need to speak to somebody. It is a self-service programme to empower the customer to have access to as much info as they can without having to wait unnecessarily."
The right ingredients are foundational to a high-quality customer experience. Define your objectives, clearly communicate them, take into account the entire customer journey, plan for the future, then revise the plan as needed based on results.
The measurements help ensure you meet your objective, the ingredients are essential to success.

UCaaS: Do You Really Need a Hybrid Cloud Strategy?
Angela York, Director of Marketing, 8x8, Irwin Lazar, VP & Director, Nemertes, Jerry Howard, VP of IT, Irving Materials
Aug 16 2016
59 mins
Enterprises are increasingly considering Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) as the basis for their communications infrastructure strategy going forward. But some have been reluctant to commit to a pure cloud approach from the start, so they pursue a hybrid strategy—with some users migrated to the cloud while others remain on legacy premises systems. Is this really the best strategy? Or does hybrid offer the worst of both worlds—partial outsourcing while still requiring significant internal resources to manage legacy gear and its integration with the UCaaS service?
This webinar will lay out the advantages and the industry trends toward UC in the cloud, and will feature expert opinions on the issues that a hybrid approach may add to a UC strategy. You'll come away with an understanding of why hybrid cloud isn't necessarily the safe or easy choice, and whether a migration to 100% UCaaS can be a better option.
Join industry experts & a seasoned IT VP as they explain and debate:
Hybrid vs. UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service)
Potential issues and trade-offs of a hybrid approach
Best practices for moving 100% to a UCaaS solution

Doing vs. Knowing and the Paradox of Communications Engagement
Tony DeAscentis, CEO of Ving and Jeff Wallace, CEO of Global Kinetics
Aug 16 2016
59 mins
For workers in all kinds of organizations, a good and 'productive' day too often seems to be defined by numbers. The number of emails sent and the elusive triumph of InBox Zero. The number of files shared through DropBox or collaborated on through Google Docs. The number of messages answered/read/posted through Facebook or WhatsApp. The number of channels on Slack.The number of direct messages on Twitter. The number of video conversations on Skype. Somehow, these numbers have come to define employee productivity and even worth.
That's a problem. There is a communications engagement paradox. Because there are so many forms of communication, accompanied by massive pressure to 'just get it done,' we might actually be communicating less effectively. The truth is that we are spending so much time and energy in the everyday 'doing' that there is no 'knowing' in relationship to which efforts drive engagement and action over time. Without ever 'knowing,' a communication engagement gap between sender and receiver is bound to grow.
Join us to discover new technologies in unified communications and how to drive engagement in the cloud.

Appropriate office dress often means conservative
Published: Friday, July 16, 2010 at 2:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 16, 2010 at 2:00 p.m.
In most office settings, plunging necklines, ultra-short skirts, stiletto heels and nose piercings are not appropriate attire.
Workplace no-nos
A showpiece shoe that's great for evening but not for work.
Red dresses or outfits are too much for the office but great in ties and small accents.
Short hem
Most experts say skirt hems shouldn't be more than 1-2 inches above the knee.
Multiple piercings, exposed tattoos and nose rings
A no-brainer. Save them for your own time.
Ill-fitting clothes
Borrowing a friend's power suit may save money, but if it doesn't fit, it can look unprofessional.
But many job candidates and even employees still don't get it, said Lizandra Vega, an image consultant and author of "The Image of Success: Make a Great Impression and Land the Job You Want" (AMA, $16.95).
"If you don't have good sense in terms of how to dress on the job, then the perception is you won't have good sense in terms of other decisions related to the job," Vega said. "How you dress on the job is just as important as your performance because you represent the company's brand when you're at work, whether you deal with peers or clients."
Debate over appropriate office dress was revived last month with the firing of Debrahlee Lorenzana from Citibank for dressing in a way that was deemed "too sexy." She made headlines with claims her former bosses at Citibank banned her from wearing sexy outfits or heels considered "too distracting" for male co-workers.
Though there are no federal dress-code laws, companies can mandate dress codes as long as they are not found to be discriminatory. Lorenzana, who often wore turtlenecks, pencil skirts and high heels, has filed a sexual-discrimination complaint against the company.
A veteran job recruiter, Vega said she's seen job candidates not get hired for many dress-code infractions from too-long fingernails to exposed tattoos. She even recalled one job candidate who wore a shirt unbuttoned to reveal cleavage that looked like "panting puppies."
"I don't think it was intentional," Vega said. "Many times, it's not that women are looking to be sexy. They don't realize their intimate apparel is not holding everything in. When you buy a new career wardrobe, that's the time to get a bra fitting and buy new undergarments. It's about a complete, polished look."
Diane Gottsman, a national etiquette expert and owner of The Protocol School in San Antonio, said conservative styles often are the best option.
"Whether you're in Oklahoma or New York, you have to dress accordingly for work," Gottsman said. "You have to use good judgment. If what you wear in the workplace makes people uncomfortable, it's usually inappropriate."
Gottsman travels the country speaking to companies and universities about dress and etiquette issues. She agrees that the more provocative the outfit, the more negative attention it generates.
"You want to get noticed for your achievements, not how high your heels are or how tight your skirt is," Gottsman said. "You want to send a message of power - intellectual power. When you're dressing too provocatively, you lose your voice and your power."
But fashion designer and Dallas native Bradley Bayou thinks there's a place for "sexy" dressing in the office.
Tailored blazers with slightly padded shoulders that nip at the waist create an hourglass shape, which he said can be sexy without being revealing.
Bayou, who also penned "The Science of Sexy" (Penguin Books, $35), advises investing in a black suit with either pants or a skirt, and coordinating white and colored blouses.
"You don't need to wear a low-plunging dress," Bayou said. "Just a simple, tailored black suit. You can take those pieces anywhere in the world and wear them a million ways."
At Dress for Success Houston, president Nancy Levicki said her staff is trained extensively on appropriate office attire. The organization helps disadvantaged women enter the workplace by providing professional attire and career-development support. Each woman gets a suit for the job interview, then another suit when she gets the job. The women also each get a pearl necklace and earrings.
"We have to be the role model because if our clients see us in flip-fops, they are going to in some way register that you can wear flip-flops to work," Levicki said.
"You can dress any way you want, but this is about being successful in your career. Who wants to lose a great job because you want to wear a low-cut top to work?"

Pingo Miranda Has Judges Replaced For Viloria Defense
By Ronnie Nathanielsz
WBO world flyweight champion Julio Cesar "Pingo" Miranda of Mexico has succeeded in having two of the judges, including the Philippines Danrex Tapdasan changed, days before his title defense against former two-time light flyweight champion Brian Viloria.
WBO Asia Pacific vice president and fight supervisor Leon Panoncillo told the Daily Inquirer shortly after arriving in Honolulu that " There was a last minute change because the world champion Miranda did not agree to a Hawaii Judge that the local commission required and that Danrex Tapdasan from the Philippines was a Filipino."
With Miranda threatening not to fly to Honolulu to defend his title unless there was a change in the judges, the Hawaii Boxing Commission gave in.
Tapdasan was replaced by veteran judge Tamotsu Tomihara who hasn't judged a fight in years and even American Robert Byrd was replaced without any explanation by Robert Hoyle.
The only judge originally named by WBO president Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel who retained his place was Dr. Ruben Garcia from Texas .
Joe Cortez remains as referee. It was Cortez who, after declaring a clear head-butt in Manny Pacquiao's first fight against Erik "El Terrible" Morales which caused a nasty gash above the eye as caused by a punch, never refereed a Pacquiao fight again because of allegations of bias.
Viloria's manager Gary Gittelsohn earlier told the Inquirer that Miranda's camp had made some unbelievable demands which he gave into purely because he wanted Viloria not to have to wait for a chance to win a third world title although he conceded it would be a tough fight.
The Viloria-Miranda title fight will be telecast by ABC 5 starting at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday and will be followed at 3:00 p.m. by the tune-up fight of WBC lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez against former WBA champion Likar Ramos of Colombia.

Never miss another 'Harry Shearer' show
Harry Shearer
Spinal Tap, Le Show and Simpsons star Harry Shearer's new release 'Can't Take A Hint' isn't his first album but it is the first to feature a world-class cast of musical collaborators. He is joined by some of these in its world premiere live performance at Under The Bridge on November 23rd.
Acclaimed vocalists Judith Owen and Alice Russell, legendary bassist Danny Thompson and Memphis keyboard player Charlie Wood will perform the album alongside Harry in this one off UK concert.
See www.underthebridge.co.uk for further information and tickets.

Harry Shearer
Actor, comedian, writer, voice artist, musician, author and radio host Shearer, in addition to Le Show and his work on The Simpsons, is known for a stint on Saturday Night Live, radio comedy group the Credibility Gap, his films A Mighty Wind and For Your Consideration (both collaborations with Christopher Guest), and for actual tours with his comedy band Spinal Tap (Shearer is bass player Derek Smalls). Revered for his bitingly satirical songs and impersonations, he was nominated for a Grammy for his CD Songs of the Pointed and the Pointless. His album Songs of the Bushmen (also Grammy nominated) was an incisive musical impeachment of the Bush administration with impersonations in song of the likes of Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove.

What are the complications of gallstones?
Biliary colic is the most common symptom of gallstones, but, fortunately, it is usually a self-limited symptom. There are, however, more serious complications of gallstones.
Cholecystitis means inflammation of the gallbladder. Like biliary colic, it too is caused by sudden obstruction of the ducts, usually the cystic duct by a gallstone. In fact, cholecystitis may begin with an episode of biliary colic. Obstruction of the cystic duct causes the wall of the gallbladder to begin secreting fluid, but for unclear reasons, inflammation sets in. At first the inflammation is sterile, that is, there is no infection with bacteria; however, over time the bile and gallbladder become infected with bacteria that travel through the bile ducts from the intestine.
With cholecystitis, there is constant pain in the right upper abdomen. Inflammation extends through the wall of the gallbladder, and the right upper abdomen becomes particularly tender when it is pressed or even tapped. Unlike with biliary colic, however, it is painful to move around. Individuals with cholecystitis usually lie still. There is fever, and the white blood cell count is elevated, both signs of inflammation. Cholecystitis usually is treated with antibiotics, and most episodes will resolve over several days. Even without antibiotics, cholecystitis often resolves. As with biliary colic, movement of the gallstone out of the cystic duct and back into the gallbladder relieves the obstruction and allows the inflammation to resolve.
Cholangitis is a condition in which bile in the common, hepatic, and intrahepatic ducts becomes infected. Like cholecystitis, the infection spreads through the ducts from the intestine after the ducts become obstructed by a gallstone. Patients with cholangitis are very sick with high fever and elevated white blood cell counts. Cholangitis may result in an abscess within the liver or sepsis. (See discussion of sepsis that follows.)
Gangrene of the gallbladder is a condition in which the inflammation of cholecystitis cuts off the supply of blood to the gallbladder. Without blood, the tissues forming the wall of the gallbladder die, and this makes the wall very weak. The weakness combined with infection often leads to rupture of the gallbladder. The infection then may spread throughout the abdomen, though often the rupture is confined to a small area around the gallbladder (a confined perforation).
