I am always getting Constipated. I've tried everything from eating heathy, to exsuring to bathing everyday and always getting outside out and about. Nothing seems to do any good. And the problem's not the foods I'm eating cause I went for 2 days without eating a single thing and still got Constipated. I went to tons of doctors and they couldn't find anything wrong with me. I even went to the psychologist and he told me what I was already doing. He told me to eat all my meals eat what my mom eats since she doesn't have trouble with Constipation. Walk for 30mins a day and keep my body clean. I did that, still having trouble after trying that for a full month. I thought maybe I have Irritable bowel syndrome. But then I found out I didn't cause I only suffer from Constipation. I've tried meds as well, even they did no good. Does anyone know what may be wrong with me and what I can do to fix my problem? Cause I've been like this for over 10 years.

Wakulla Springs, gushing more than 175,000 gallons a minute, forms the headwaters of the 9-mile-long river. It looks as wild as the Amazon this morning. Animals are everywhere. A moorhen whoops it up. Her staccato call―an often-used sound effect in jungle movies―sounds more like a chimpanzee than a bird. Another famous beast, the Creature From the Black Lagoon, starred in a classic sci-fi movie filmed here.
Jump in and enjoy some of The Sunshine State's refreshing fountains of youth.

The failure of the Viking Life Sciences Experiments to find organics on Mars has been suggested as being due to the presence of oxidants. In particular, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been proposed as the most likely oxidizer of the surface of Mars. H2O2 was detected in 2003, and the measured mixing ratio, 20-30 ppb, agrees well with global photochemical models. However, this abundance of H2O2 is perhaps not large enough to account for the above Viking result.
In this presentation, we will discuss a new mechanism that can produce substantially greater abundance of H2O2. Delory et al. (see previous companion presentation) have shown that triboelectric fields in martian dust devils and storms may be near 20 kV/m, and have determined the production rates of OH and O- from dissociation of H2O and CO2 via electric field driven electrons. Using a chemical model, we calculate that the abundance of H2O2 due to electrochemistry in dust devils and storms greatly exceeds that produced photochemically. Since the aeolian processes must have been prevalent throughout the martian geologic history, this effect of H2O2 enhancement, together with the large UV radiation reaching the martian surface, implies that the martian surface and near-surface environment are unlikely to be hospitable to life.

MUSKEGON, MI – With a thud that hit in the middle of your stomach, the former Sappi paper mill power plant came tumbling down Sunday morning apparently without a hitch.
The son of property owner Doug Melching and sons of Trinity Industrial Services Tom Frost pushed the plunger down about 10:40 a.m. to set off the explosions that brought down the 10-story, 200-foot industrial building.
Within a matter of seconds the steel structure was lying crumpled, falling to the north just as the Melching demolition team had planned. The event was witnessed by several hundred on site and thousands more to the west and east of the site at 2400 Lakeshore Drive.
Within several minutes the big black cloud of smoke and dust had cleared and the Melching team began to inspect the area with Muskegon police and fire officials.
"We are going to bring this down with one mighty boom," a Trinity crew member said over the radio before the 10-second countdown began. "Let's keep everyone safe."
Initial reports are that the nearby Habs Good Eats n' Treats at 2445 Lakeshore Drive is fine. Houses are being checked, with a cracked window reported so far.

Since 1951, an aggressive surgical approach has shown promise in the treatment of embolic occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery. Klass1,2 reported 2 such cases of embolization with successful embolectomy performed at 14 and 12 hours, respectively. Viable bowel resulted in both cases, but death resulted from cardiac failure in one patient and from postoperative hemorrhage in the other. A third case cited by Klass was a patient of Dr. Edward K. Connors, of Omaha, Neb. His patient died of pulmonary edema 48 hours after successful embolectomy.
In 1957, Shaw and Rutledge3 reported a case in which superior mesenteric embolectomy was successfully performed 25 hours after embolization. No note is made of the exact location of the embolus, except that it lay in the main trunk of the superior mesenteric artery. Although all bowel encountered was grossly viable, the patient showed evidence of severe malabsorption and hypoproteinemic edema

London, 26 September 2013 – As operators, broadcasters and content providers continue to look for ways to monetise content delivery, next week's CDN World Summit will exclusively reveal ground-breaking insights, provide future forecasts for CDN, and give visitors the opportunity to meet all of the major players within the ecosystem. As part of its evolution, the event will this year explore key areas such as Network Function Virtualisation (NFV), Software Defined Networking (SDN), Edge Caching and the Cloud.
As part of the agenda, Herbert Damker, Senior Expert of Group Technology at Deutsche Telecom, will provide a presentation on facilitating NFV for efficiency and quality of content delivery. This will include an overview of the drivers behind NFV and the telco infrastructure Cloud and the benefits of virtual software instead of physical appliances.
A special focus session, sponsored by Edgeware, will take place on the first day of the event and will concentrate on building backbone capacity using edge content delivery. This will include presentations from Edgeware's VP of Business Development and Product Marketing, Jon Haley and Qwilt's CEO, Alon Maor.
Jon Haley will explore the edge caching evolution towards the end user. This will highlight how to reap savings from caching at different points within the network, how to maintain cache efficiency as content libraries grow, and how to overcome the challenges by providing real-time cache analytics. Alon Maor will immediately follow this with an overview of edge delivery function, focusing on how it can be enhanced by caches at the edge. This will incorporate the use of analytics to obtain relevant data to build capacity, how to create an end-to-end solution in the last mile, measuring QoE: metrics and performance indicators, the monetisation aspects for operators and a deep dive into the effects on the full ecosystem and the emerging value chain.
The event's conference agenda will place a further focus on edge caching with participation from Jon Vestal, President of Managed Services at Pacnet, who will discuss the monetisation aspects for operators and the costs versus savings of edge caching. Here, he will address how to facilitate e-commerce and mobile payments through a fast, reliable and seamless service and the potential revenues for website acceleration.
2013's event incorporates the Cloud TV Summit, which takes place on 1 October and involves participation from a host of leading cable and telcos from around the world. Chaired by Dom Robinson, Co-Founder and Director of id3as, the Summit will include guests from global service providers including BT, Verizon, Liberty Global, Time Warner Cable, BskyB and others.
With over 60 influential and innovative CDN speakers, this year's event will enter a new chapter in its cycle and will reinforce its position as an event where industry figureheads come together to discuss the latest strategies and technologies, as they shape the future of content and data delivery.
The CDN World Summit will take place at the Thistle Marble Arch Hotel in London on 1-3 October.

Joe Baum Is Back on Top—1,310 Feet High—with His Lavish Windows on the World
Six years ago Baum resigned as division head of the $100 million-a-year Restaurant Associates, where he had been responsible for such prestigious Manhattan eateries as the Four Seasons. He began to work on Windows in 1970, combining his own experience with the recommendations of his longtime mentor, gastronome James Beard. It opened last June.
Between noon and 3 p.m. weekdays it is a private club, featuring library, sauna, masseur and exercise room for members, plus a "Cellar in the Sky" where they can stash their personal Château Lafite-Rothschilds. Annual dues for the club range up to $420. Nonmembers are allowed in for a $10 cover charge. After 3 p.m. the restaurant is open to anyone at fairly reasonable prices. A prix fixe dinner—Boeuf Madagascar—runs $16.50, not including wine. Would-be diners must be willing to wait. There is a six-week delay for dinner reservations Monday through Thursday; for weekends it's several months.
Most critics agree that patience is amply rewarded. After taking the silent one-minute ride 1,310 feet to the top in a living room-sized elevator, the customer passes through a mirrored green corridor into the gold-and-white main dining room. Among the scores who have already come to feast on the gourmet dishes and the view (without any trouble getting reservations, to be sure) are Princess Grace of Monaco, John Wayne, Henry and Nancy Kissinger, Jackie Onassis and King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain.
Baum, whose parents ran a summer hotel at Saratoga Springs, N.Y., decided to be a restaurateur when he was only 14. After wartime Navy service as a supply officer in the Pacific and three years with a Florida hotel chain, Baum was hired by Restaurant Associates in 1953 to run their first "tablecloth" operation—the restaurant at Newark Airport. He rose from there. When business declined during the 1969-70 recession, Baum quit.
In addition to Windows Baum also helped design the 30 or so other restaurants and fast-food shops inside the $900 million World Trade Center. His salary is $125,000 a year, plus a share of the operating profits from Windows and the other concessions.
Each morning at 9 Baum drives his BMW sports car to work from the Park Avenue penthouse he shares with his wife of 32 years, Ruth. He settles into his cluttered "War Room" one floor below Windows, where the walls are papered with reservation lists, table layouts and menus. "He's like a five-star general," says a friend. "I'm a real pain," Baum readily concedes, "but I don't know of any other way to create the best damn restaurant in the world."

Ayala Plans Record Home-Building, Entry Into Airports, Rail
Ayala Corp., the Philippines' biggest property developer, plans to build a record number of homes in 2012 and expand into airports and railways, Chief Executive Officer Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala said.
"We have committed the highest capital spending ever in our history," Zobel, 53, also chairman and son of billionaire Jaime Zobel De Ayala, said in a March 9 interview in Manila. "Ayala Corp. a hundred years ago is different from today. We're open to change."
Zobel plans to boost capital spending by 38 percent this year to a record 91 billion pesos ($2.1 billion), 75 percent of which is set for property unit Ayala Land Inc. and Globe Telecom Inc. While the company has diversified interests to include banking, its expansion pace has lagged behind rivals such as San Miguel Corp., which moved beyond its roots as a brewer to become the largest power producer in Philippines.
"They have been criticized before for being conservative even on the property side," said Richard Laneda, an analyst at Manila-based CitisecOnline.com. "The group has turned more aggressive with investments in its core interests while trying to move fast in other ventures like energy and infrastructure."
Ayala Corp. advanced 0.9 percent to 416.60 pesos as of the mid-day break in Manila trading. Ayala Land rose 2.7 percent to 21.20 pesos, and Globe Telecom was unchanged at 1,200 pesos.
Gin, Rum Traders
Zobel's family started as traders and gin and rum distillers almost 180 years ago. The family expanded its businesses after World War II and helped develop Manila's main financial district of Makati, which includes the national stock exchange on Ayala Avenue.
The company took its first step into the power industry last year when it bought 50 percent of a wind farm.
"Ayala's core businesses are at a mature stage," said Laneda, who has a "buy" rating on Ayala Corp., according to data compiled by Bloomberg. "It has to go outside of these areas and seek new ventures to provide it with another source of growth,"
Ayala Land plans to start construction of almost 25,000 units in 2012, 20 percent more than last year, Zobel said.
"In real estate, we have more projects going on line than ever in our history," the CEO said. "We've signaled our strong interest in the infrastructure projects of the government."
Ayala Land won the first road project offered by President Benigno Aquino's administration to investors in December and wants to invest in airports and rail projects, especially in areas where it can build more homes and malls, Zobel said.
Economic Boost
The government plans to offer as many as 18 projects worth more than 200 billion pesos to investors this year as Aquino seeks to create jobs and spur the $200 billion economy after growth slowed to a two-year low in 2011.
Ayala Corp. has flexibility to fund investments in power and transportation, sustain dividends and buy back shares of the company and its units on an "opportunistic basis," according to a company presentation dated March 9. It had more than $1.6 billion in cash and short-term investments as of September, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"With interest rates low and a system awash with cash, it's a good time for Ayala to be aggressive with expansion," Laneda said.
Ayala Corp. has said it will build 1,000 megawatts of power capacity over five years. San Miguel has capacity of 3,148 megawatts.
Record Earnings
Ayala Land and lending arm Bank of the Philippine Islands, known as BPI, posted record profit in 2011 while Globe's revenue was at an all-time high.
"In 2012, we should continue that trend," Zobel said. Ayala Corp.'s net income fell 16 percent last year after 2010 profit was boosted by a one-time gain. Stripping out one-time items, earnings rose 16 percent and that trend should continue, he said.
Globe, 30 percent owned by Ayala and 47 percent held by Singapore Telecommunications Ltd., plans capital spending of as much as $800 million this year as it expands and modernizes its mobile-phone network.
Ayala Land and Globe have announced plans to sell at least 10 billion pesos of bonds this year. BPI has sufficient capital to meet the requirements of the Basel III accord, Zobel said.
Ayala Corp. has gained 34 percent in Manila trading this year, Ayala Land has advanced 40 percent and BPI has climbed 37 percent. All three have outperformed the benchmark stock index. Globe Telecom has risen 6 percent so far in 2012.
Ayala's Philosophy
"It's not within Ayala's philosophy to invest or take over a company with the intention of fixing its problems," said Jomar Lacson, an analyst at brokerage Campos Lanuza & Co. Inc. "It's their nature to be conservative."
The Zobel family traces its roots to Juan Valentin de Ayala, who settled in the Philippines in 1795 from the Basque region of Spain. In 1834, Antonio de Ayala and businessman Domingo Roxas founded Casa Roxas to engage in agricultural trading and later began distilling liquor.
Unlike San Miguel's Ramon Ang and Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. Chairman Manuel Pangilinan, Zobel prefers to build existing businesses, limiting mergers and acquisitions to when there are cheap opportunities.
"The Ayala group is moving aggressively through organic growth," Zobel said. "M&A in a hot market like this; you're paying a lot and giving that value to somebody else.
''The best time for M&A is when the market is down.''

Crikey, don't know where you get the energy.
I am shattered just doing a 8 hr day in work with a 30 minute commute.
Didn't know pumpkins floated. Sounds fun.
We only ever used to do duck apple when we were young, and we used to think it was crazy all the dressing up and big deal Americans made out of Halloween - trick and treat etc.
Now in UK we have pretty much followed suit.
I'm not a great one for Halloween, get fed up of countless kids knocking on the door for sweets.
My favourite time by far is Christmas, love all the build up and love buying presents.
Being off with the kids, watching films.
The joys of growing up for Third, aah bless.
I would quite like to live on the Wonder Woman island, or at least go there for a holiday.

About Cost Estimates
The standard Cost of Attendance (COA) budgets are prepared by the University for calculating financial aid awards, as required by federal regulations. Even if you are not a financial aid recipient, you can use the charts to estimate your costs for full-time enrollment during the academic year (fall and spring semesters), or half-time enrollment during the summer (May and summer sessions).
COA expense categories
COA is based on five expense categories with figures that reflect typical "modest but adequate" spending patterns of University students based on published research, as cited below:
- Tuition & fees
- Tuition and fees figures in the budgets are for the current academic year. The figures are updated each year in July after approval by the University Board of Regents.
- Books & supplies
- This estimated figure is based on average credit load for a full-time student and book costs that represent the academic supplies required to be an effective student.
- Room & board
- The estimated room and board figures vary based on typical living situations (e. g., in a campus University residence hall, at home with family, sharing an apartment) and research by the U. S. Department of Agriculture on average living expenses in the Duluth area.
- Transportation
- The cost for local transportation in the Duluth area is free with a DTA U-Pass. The University does not include a personal vehicle in your estimated cost budget. However, an estimate for students to travel to/from their hometown a few times per year is included in the transportation figure.
- Personal & miscellaneous expenses
- The estimates for this category are based on average student needs that are necessary in order to live and function productively, including toiletries, laundry, and clothing.
"Typical" vs. actual expenses
Your actual costs may vary from the COA budget estimate, according to your individual lifestyle and circumstances. For example, your rent may be greater or less than the monthly standard used in the COA budget for undergraduates living independently.
If you apply for financial aid, your award eligibility will be based on the COA standard allowances, not on your individual preferences and spending habits. The UMD LLAS (Live Like a Student) web pages are an excellent source of knowledge, ideas, and tips to keep your expenses in line with your financial resources.

On dex, damage, and swift stikes
Okay I know I've had a lot of updates lately, and no one really cares when I ding a level or two; but I thought I'd take some time and post an update on the things I tested over the holiday weekend.
First, spurred by a post on the Funcom forums, I took a look at +Dex and +Damage as it pertains to DPS. Remember, dexterity is suppose to contribute to a number of skills, but this is strictly talking about DPS.
To test this, I looked at two daggers; Duskfang and Cadillus. Duskfang contributes both Dex and Damage, while Cadillus only contributes Dex. Here's a screenshot for comparisons.
You can find the math I used on the forums in this post.
When you look at a weapon in your inventory, it gives you it's bare-naked stats; in otherwords, the stats of the item not modified by things such as your dexterity, or modifiers (including the ones on the item itself). So you can see the base DPS for that particular weapon. When you equip the weapon, the DPS changes to reflect your stats.
For a comparison, I looked at the "naked DPS" of the weapon, then the modified DPS with both duskfang's equiped, and with duskfang and cadillus equipped. This allows you to see how the different stats effect the overall DPS.
Long story short, I found that 1 +Damage translates directly into +1 DPS. +5 Dex translates into about .1 DPS. Obviously, if you're looking to raise your DPS, you want to go with damage. The disclaimer is this: I was lvl 44 at the time of the test. I've heard rumors of a +damage cap; in other words, once you reach a certian +damage, adding more won't help you. I'm not lvl 80 so I can't test this yet. Also, I've heard rumors that +damage only helps in PvE, but not PvP. I haven't tested this, but I don't think it's true. It's common (and you see all sorts of posts claiming that) stats don't work or calculate in PvP. I think what a lot of people are missing is that they work, but PvP advisaries tend to have better armor, evasion, and resistances than PvE mobs, so it may feel you're not getting all your stats when in reality it's just that your foe's are stronger. Again, if I get a chance I'll do some testing to be sure.
Secondly, spurred by another thread, I looked at Swift Strikes. Someone was complaining that Swift Strikes sucks and is underpowered. They said they were lvl 35. At level 44 you get your next rank of Swift Strikes (SS V). At that point, cunning strikes is level VI. With my build (Corruption) I have Unholy Strength, which adds to the damage of Swift Strikes. Initially I posted that yes, as you level, Swift Strikes is way behind Cunning Strikes in damage, but at some point it surpasses it. I said that when I got SSV at lvl 44, I thought it met or surpassed CS. This was based on nothing more than watching the enemie's health bar while I fought, and how much health each seemed to take away.
Well, why should anyone take my opinion to mean anything? So I decided to start logging my combat and then take a look at things with AoCStats.com's parser. Well, At lvl 44-45, Swift strikes did about 70 damage per hit, and hits 6 times. Cunning strike hit for... well, I don't have the numbers right now, but I think about 370 and hits twice. So totaly, SSV did (on average) 420 damage and CS did 740. Again, those aren't the exact numbers but they're close. So SSV didn't do anywhere near the damage CSVI did. So why did I think they were even?
I don't know if it's because SSV hits 6 times, compaired to 2, which would mean more chance for offhand and other damage-adding procs. I haven't had a chance to go through the logs line-by-line, and the parser isn't that detailed.
Anyway, I did end up reaching 48 (49 now), and that means I got Swift Strikes VI. I haven't ran the log through the parser, but from eye-balling the combat log in-game, the average SSVI hit is 120-140. (times 6). So that would put SSVI ahead of CSVI.
So it seems that if you're corruption spec, SS surpasses CS at lvl 48. I don't know how much Unholy Strength adds to SS damage, if lotus SS doesn't surpass CS at 48 also, then I'm sure the next rank it would.
So there's the "research" I did over the weekend. I know the lvl80's out there will say "oh, you can't judge before 80!" or whatever, but those numbers should help those of you who are mid-levels like myself.

by min, whose kids are home for the holidays!!!
Usually on Mondays we play a little game on the internet called FunMonday. One blogger will come up with a topic and several of us will write on that subject from our own point of view. Sometimes it is a little bit of a challenge to figure out which blogger is 'hosting' the game. Yesterday, I spent about an hour and a half visiting every site on the internet , maybe a little bit longer than that….some of it was porn. I never did find the hostess/host for this week's game.
What a helpless feeling.
I had to come up with my own topic.
I asked my daughter Violet to help me out. She's twenty and is home on Christmas vacation.
"Violet, what can I blog about tomorrow?"
"Blog this, Mom," and she proceeded to do a little dance move. She gave me a little "Deal with it" look and disappeared out the door to head for her boyfriend's house.
I asked my eighteen year-old son the same question.
"Reggie, I need an idea to write about."
"Sorry Mom, I'm not creative. I'm just a musician."
He too had plans to play with his friends yesterday. In fact, he's only been home a couple of days and all he's done is come home to eat and sleep.
I'd told him that I didn't mind him doing that, but I did have a few things that I needed him to do for me. For example, he had promised to put a huge poinsettia that I have out in the yard for me. The plant is over three feet tall and almost equally as wide and was beginning to crave a little sunlight.
He asked me where he should put it. I told him 'someplace where it'll get a little sun: the end of the walk or by the lamppost or anywhere that he could find. I was proud that he wasn't trying to sneak out without doing this for me. I thanked him and suddenly I felt nicer and I didn't mind so much that he was spending the rest of the afternoon with friends.
Since I wasn't going anywhere with the blog, I decided that maybe I should go out and look for a Christmas gift while I was waiting for the muse to strike me. Maybe the Office Supply store would provide me with the needed inspiration.
I grabbed my list and my keys and headed out the door only to discover this:
I didn't have to go anywhere. I couldn't go anywhere.
My blog was written.

Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem, with increasing incidence and prevalence, poor outcomes, and high costs (1–2). In the United States, the estimated prevalence of all stages of chronic kidney disease is 20 million (1), and the number of patients receiving dialysis should exceed 650 000 by 2010 (2). Long-term adverse outcomes associated with chronic kidney disease include kidney failure, complications of impaired kidney function, and, more commonly, an increased risk for cardiovascular disease and death (3). The clinical practice guidelines of the National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Disease Quality Outcome Initiative (NKF-K/DQOI) defined chronic kidney disease as a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) less than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 or the presence of kidney damage for 3 or more months, regardless of cause (4). The guidelines also provided a system for staging the severity of kidney disease, primarily on the basis of GFR, with stage-specific recommendations for evaluation and management (Table).

I can only say I had a Poqet PC, more than a decade ago, and used the
supplied Poqet Link cable to link every night to a PC-compatible and
transfer files. I used it quite happily in the library for a couple
of years, and wish that I had a machine with exactly its keyboard, but
a faster cpu, today. I was never crazy about the fact that I could
use its display as a shaving mirror, but lovvved that battery life!
It was a TERRIFIC machine for taking notes and doing symbolic math
(using Derive) in the library. I never altered the supplied cable in
any way. It was SO low-maintenance in every way.

I have this tank in 2 colors and it is the perfect casual, comfy, go to top. I'm 5'6" and 125 lbs and bought medium because I wanted a little bit of a looser fit than the models in the ad. With the big cut arm holes they are perfect with a bandeau or sexy bra underneath, I love how its a little looser in the belly area too, totally comfortable yet flattering. I wear it plain or tuck it in with a high waist bottom for a casual yet polished look. A+

These are so perfect. It's my go-to for layering, and is so hot on its own. I own four and will continue to pick up more occasionally, because you can never have enough of these tanks. I wear a small in these, and typically wear a medium-large in other AA shirts.

This is my favorite casual tank top. It's sooo sexy. I have it in grey in med and it fits just right. Seriously, with a black lacey bra underneath you'll drive the boys crazy.

This is a women's tank, but the cut isn't quite feminine enough for me (too large in the straps, too large in the waist, too small in the bust). I wanted to like it, but no such luck. I'm 5'3" 115 to 120 pounds, 32C/34B, 29" to 30" waist, 35" to 36" hips, and the size Small was already too big in the waist and waaaay too big in the starps, but too tight in the chest (even with a sports bra, which is what I happened to be wearing when I tried it on).

I got a size X-Small and like it alot. The fit on me looks very similar to the models in the pictures. It's a bit snug in the chest area, but looser and more flowy around my stomach. Wish they were a little longer, it falls right below my belt line. I am 5'9", 135 lbs and a 32A.

My favorite tank ever! I have it in almost every color. They are super comfortable and hold up really well also. I've had a few of them for a couple years and they still look great. I'm 5'5" 120lbs 32D and I like the size S. I have one size M but I feel like it is a bit too baggy. Highly recommended!

I own this in xs in grey and small in navy and I love them. I've worn them loads of times but I must say the sizing difference is fairly incomparable. It's quite big made, Im only 155cm and a 30C but theres still no way I could wear this just with a bra, it barely covers my nipples. Its great as a layering piece, I wear them with tube bras and high waisted skirts or disco pants. The material is so thin but I've had these for 2 years and theyre still going strong!

I bought this top in Tri-Grey several years ago...I'm 5'6" 160 pounds with small breasts and a gigantic rib cage/broad shoulders....it is very flattering on me....however with time the straps tend to stretch and it falls even lower than it does when new (you have to wear something under it on its own unless you are very daring....
So I had started using it as a "painting top" because it is the next best thing to being naked....then today I discovered what it rocks best for...pay attention this is so NICE....
I wore my grey tank underneath a vioet raglan pullover - you know - the ones we all have 10 of in tri-blend and solid colours? It works so PERFECT because the straps add detail at the wide neck of that top, it protrudes just the right amount underneath (the pull-overs are a bit short) and makes wearing a bra unecessary....
I think I will have to buy a couple more of these for this ultimate layering purpose....:)

1)I love these shirts
2)I read a lot of the reviews before I bought this shirt, a lot of them were stating that the arm holes are big and the straps are skinny; personally, its just my style, it's exactly what i wanted in the shirt. i love it when my clothes are baggy and hang off my body.
3) When i first bought the shirt i got 3 of them two in small and one in medium, so i could see how it would fit me. (i am 5'6 and 117 lbs with 34b's) I found that the small fits fairly well, slightly snug for my usually taste but it wont stop me from wearing it, the medium fits me perfectly. if you were wondering how baggy it is, my bra normally shows, on the side and in the front. but i like it like that. I absolutely adore the shirt, and if your style is similar, this is a great shirt for you!
4)i own 6 of these shirts all together :)

These tanks are awesome! Bought a 3 pack, they are my new fave! I am 5'10", 135 lbs, I bought smalls and they fit perfect! Long enough, tighter fitting in the boob which is nice, I'm only a 34b, looser in the body. Very flattering, my husband loves them! Haven't tried a bra yet but it doesn't look totally obscene without one.

The tri-blend collection is amazing. The material is so soft knit & comfortable to wear. I'm 5'2" and about 115 pounds and I got size M. Size S fit and it was form-fitting, but I was looking for something a bit more loose, but in a flattering way. The straps are somewhat long, but I bought the gold lame bandeau to wear with it and it goes together quite well. Oh and I got tri-cranberry. Love that shade of maroon. :)

These tops are absolutely wonderful. I have it in Indigo, Orchid, Cranberry, Black, Grey and Evergreen! I love them so much. I'm 5ft 3, 110lbs, 30DD, and the XS fits perfect. A little baggy, i must admit, but not unflatteringly. They are light and airy, making them perfect for the summer.

Ok so..5'9 1/2"/130-135 lbs.36c..I got Medium.I agree the straps are a little long..may try to take them in an inch or so as i cant really wear this without boobs popping out.That being said,I may also leave them as the top is hard to wear out(alone)anyways because of the low pits too, and I wish it were longer and not shorter..ugh.But the best shirt ever made for lounging, which is what I do most the time. :) I think I could do a Small but it would be like the tighter fit in pics..Medium is perfectly loose and sexy.I have 4 now.More tri colors please.

LOVE this tank! Bought the brown and loved it so much that I went back and bought the light green. Looks great with everything, from skirts to jeans. I wear a racerback bra with this which stays hidden, but please note that these tanks are slightly sheer, so you can see through. This doesn't bother me though - still a great look. Edges of straps do curl up after washing/wearing, which can be a bit annoying.
by Kristina
May 5, 2010
Help! Question!: I tried my usual demi that adjust to a racerback bra, but the sides still show, so I think the side straps are too thick. I was wondering, If anyone might know what type of bra you should wear with this???
Thank you all for your help!,
I greatly appreciate it! :)

The Homer Spit, Alaska
In 2010, my dad and I drove from Missouri to Alaska (an 10,000+ mile road trip!) we went to Homer, a town my dad knew from Deadliest Catch, so, we spent a couple of days exploring this area. The fishing industry is not only a part of everyday life here, but also a large tourism industry. This photo was taken on the spit (the tiny strip of land that stretches out into the harbor) and this guy was putting out their daily catch.

I found a way to do it (resynch audio) and it only takes as long as it does to figure out how many seconds it is offset, then reburn the AVI. Sometimes it steps on video a little, reduces quality, but when you are watching a film in English, nothing is more annoying. Lol. Don't get me wrong, a lot of my movies are Chinese or German or even Swedish like the Templar Arn series, or DragonTattoo, but I don't mind when there are subtitles. However, if originally in English, then it is a pet peive. Lol

Nearly 50 motorists were ticketed in a Riverside County law enforcement campaign to deter "distracted driving," authorities said today.
The California Highway Patrol's Riverside office and the sheriff's San Jacinto station each conducted enforcement operations Tuesday aimed at cracking down on drivers talking on mobile phones without a hands-free device.
The CHP campaign resulted in nine citations, while sheriff's deputies wrote 40 tickets.
"The goal of this operation was to ... bring public awareness to the dangers of distracted driving," said sheriff's Sgt. Robert Himmelberg.
The penalty for a first-time cell phone violation is $20. For every violation after that, the fine is $50.
During the sheriff's operation, three people were also arrested on suspicion of driving on a suspended license, Himmelberg said.

|This lampshade was produced by MacBeth Evans Company during the 1930's. It is pictured in the newest depression glass encyclopedia by Mauzy under American Sweetheart, though it is not strictly the American Sweetheart pattern. 7 inches in diameter, the shade has ribs and a scalloped edge like American Sweetheart. The pattern, however, is alternating lyres and flowers on each panel. There are also stars around the top opening of the shade. These details are very hard to photograph, but I think you can make them out in the closeup photos. Perfect condition, if you have any info, please share it and I will update this description. I have 3 available, price is per shade.

DETROIT — Globe-trotting acoustic guitars have been passing through the hands of songwriters from Helsinki to Haiti, Bogota to the Big Apple. Now, Detroit — home to the Motown Sound, modern techno and the Queen of Soul — has its own ax circulating among unsung musicians.
There's a different guitar in each city, but the premise of The Acoustic Guitar Project is the same: Give the guitar to a songwriter for a week, in which he must compose and record a song, and upload the recording and a photo with the guitar. The instrument then is signed and delivered to another artist.
The project's creator, Dave Adams, originally intended for one guitar to "travel everywhere," but the first one never left New York, where he lives.
So the project evolved, incorporating multiple guitars crisscrossing continents, and led Adams to Detroit, the place he was born and raised.
Now, Adams is discovering that each collection provides a soundtrack for the cities, especially this one, which is trying to get its groove back.
"It just feels like I'm getting a little piece of Detroit with every musician, like going to a Detroit smorgasbord and tasting all the flavors," said Adams, who works in advertising when he isn't traveling the world with guitars.
The fifth town on the project's itinerary is more than a pit stop. It's also the site of another Adams' project: a crowd-funded TV pilot about the guitars. Donors contributed $20,000 and picked Detroit as the destination.
For Adams' homecoming, he selected the dozen musicians and had a guitar custom-built for the city.
Detroit resident Britney Stoney said once the instrument was in hand, she was inspired to write her song, "My Own Rules." "I was sitting right here, and I just came up with the melody for it," Stoney said from her loft apartment near downtown.
The song is personal but speaks to the city's struggles. In a lilting, soulful voice, she sings: "I've been down a long, long road, still got much longer to go. I knew my role from the start, to live from my heart, and nothing can change that, nothing at all."
Another songwriter, Greater Alexander, embraced the city and its creative ethos. He took the guitar wherever he went, shared it with musicians and "connected with the project in a way that no other musician has," Adams said.
Sean Blackman crafted an instrumental love song that incorporates his passion for global sounds. That, too, reflects the music of a city that's long been a mash-up of cultures, from Appalachia to Armenia, Blackman's ancestral homeland.
For Adams, the ride began with a New Year's resolution at a party about two years ago. The host distributed little notebooks and told everyone to write down their plans for the coming year. He wrote, "I'm going to be an artist this year."
A few months later, he was relaxing in his living room with a friend, who Adams said would often "write a song on the spot" but "spend two years producing it." Adams grabbed a recorder, put it in front of his friend, and posted the new song on YouTube.
"I wanted to hear more of what is real in music — with its flaws," Adams said.
Adams envisions the project developing into a "creative platform" with a music channel and multiple, simultaneous projects worldwide.
He hopes he's helping songwriters everywhere, but he's especially excited about the sonic embers it's stoking in Motown.
"Things truly are changing in Detroit. When I go home and see it, it's exciting. ... There's a real sense that something great is happening," he said.

Banana, oat, and chia seed muffins: could any baking recipe sound healthier from the get go?
There are baking recipes designed purely to tickle the senses: my brown sugar plum muffins fall into that category, I think. And then there are the baking recipes that seek to deliver something that's tasty, sweet, and fragrant enough to remind you of your grandmother's apron, or the smell of your childhood home during the holidays, but which serve a healthy purpose (my zucchini date muffins are a little more like that—hey, at least they have green veg in them!—and my buckwheat quinoa pancakes certainly are, too). These muffins, like most of my baked goods, fit into the latter camp. They're baked goods, yes, but I really intended for them to offer up as much nutrition as they do good taste.
For that reason, the texture of these little breakfast bites isn't quite as airy (cake-like, as I like to say) as some other muffins: they are dense, they are chewy, and they are dotted with chia seeds. These qualities might deter more mainstream eaters, so this may not be the recipe you bring to a potluck, choir rehearsal, dinner party, brunch, or office kitchenette. But it's definitely the recipe you'll want to share with likeminded healthy eaters, or simply with anyone who's got an open-minded definition of what "muffin" means.
And if you happen to like a heartier muffin, this recipe is definitely for you. I purposefully used whole wheat flour, rather than whole wheat pastry flour; I know the latter is much beloved because it creates light textures, but I actually like the density of regular old whole wheat flour, especially in bran or oat muffins. You can use WW pastry flour if you like it, or, if you're a GF eater, go ahead and sub a GF mix.
- 1½ tbsp flax seed meal
- 2 cups gluten free, all purpose flour or whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 heaping tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp dried ginger
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1¼ cups almond milk
- ⅓ cup coconut oil or coconut butter
- ⅓-1/2 cup maple syrup or agave (adjust to taste, based on your sweetness level)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 tbsp chia seeds
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix the flax meal with 4 tablespoons of hot water. Set it aside.
- Combine the oats, WW flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, blend the bananas, almond milk, coconut oil or butter, sugar or agave or syrup, and vanilla till smooth. Pour into the dry ingredients, along with the flax mixture. Stir till everything is just incorporated. Stir in chia seeds, being careful not to overmix.
- Add about ¼ cup (or just over) to each muffin well in a 12-muffin baking dish. Sprinkle the tops with extra rolled oats, and bake for about 25 minutes (or until muffins are browning and a toothpick comes out clean). Enjoy with fresh autumn apples, pears, or another fruit, or with a schmear of almond or peanut butter for a healthy snack! Muffins can be refrigerated for up to four days, and they'll freeze for up to one month.
All of the whole grains, plus the chia seeds, render these muffins high in fiber, healthy fat, and protein, so they're a great way to start your day. The coconut oil/butter as a fat source is nutritionally superior to Earth Balance, and some evidence suggests that the lauric acid in coconut fat—a medium-chain fatty acid—has potent health properties.
Also, banana and cinnamon taste like a small piece of heaven together. Do you need more convincing?
I love nothing more than to invest quick and comforting breakfast foods with special health properties. I hope you will, too.
See you back here tomorrow!

The Milbank Quarterly is devoted to scholarly analysis of significant issues in health and health care policy. It presents original research, synthesis, policy analysis, and commentary from academicians, clinicians, and policymakers. The in-depth, multidisciplinary approach of the journal permits contributors to explore fully the social origins of health in our society and to examine in detail the implications of different health policies. Contributions are published from many disciplines, including history, law, medicine, epidemiology, bioethics, and the full array of social science and health services research disciplines. Topics addressed in The Milbank Quarterly include but are not limited to the impact of social factors on health, disease prevention, allocation of health resources, legal and ethical issues in health policy, health care management, historical analysis of health policies, and the organization and financing of health care.
The editor-in-chief, Howard Markel, will make an initial determination about the suitability of the manuscript for the Quarterly. Manuscripts that are potentially suitable will be subject to blind peer review regarding scholarly soundness and substantive significance. When the manuscript is submitted, the corresponding author must submit two forms signed by each author indicating that he or she has read and complied with the Quarterly's publication policies. The corresponding author is the person to whom correspondence will be sent and the author responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the manuscript's acknowledgments, for communication with the other author(s) about changes made during copyediting and production, and for final approval of proofs. Upon acceptance of an article, the corresponding author will be directed to sign a copyright transfer form on behalf of his or her coauthor(s) before the article can be published.
Specifications for Manuscripts
Before submitting your manuscript, please be sure you have prepared it according to the following instructions.
The length of submitted text ordinarily should not exceed thirty pages, excluding abstract, acknowledgments, figures, tables, and references. Longer papers will be considered on occasion, but additional length must be justified by the corresponding author.
All text must be typed double-spaced using Times New Roman 12-point font, with tabs to indicate new paragraphs. All pages must be paginated consecutively and include line numbers.
Title Pages
On the title page list the names of each author in the order the names should appear if the manuscript is published, including academic degrees and affiliations, as well as the complete address, telephone number, and email address of the corresponding author. Also provide the number of pages for text only as well as any necessary acknowledgments as described in the Quarterly's publication policies.
To facilitate blind review, include a second title page with only the manuscript title. If the manuscript has identifying information in the text, please include a blinded version without internal information (including acknowledgment of funding sources and self-identifications in citations) that reveals authorship.
Policy Points
Manuscripts must include "policy points," a two-to-three bullet point synopsis (fewer than 100 words) of the article's import on explicating or advancing a particular set of health policies. As the abstract presents, in an abbreviated form, the scholarly design and results of a study, the policy points will serve as your "elevator pitch" to alert policymakers and policy implementers about the ramifications of the study.
Structured Abstract
Manuscripts must include a structured abstract of 250 to 300 words using the following headings:
Context: The abstract should begin by explaining the article's background, objectives, and salience for policy and research.
Methods: Describe the procedures used to obtain and analyze data and/or research materials.
Findings: Summarize the results of your analyses.
Conclusions: Summarize the implications of the findings for policy, practice, and further research.
The structured abstract must be accompanied by up to four keywords for indexing. Keywords used by MEDLINE/PubMed's MeSH system are preferred because they facilitate searches (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=mesh), but terms not in MeSH may be used when MeSH terminology is not adequate.
The Quarterly op-ed section consists of essays from a panel of contributing writers. We currently do not accept unsolicited op-ed submissions, though on occasion will invite individuals to contribute a piece at the editor-in-chief's discretion.
Systematic Reviews
For the convenience of reviewers, manuscripts that are systematic reviews should be accompanied by the protocol used by the authors to conduct the review unless that information is provided in the body of the manuscript.
Tables and figures should be explicitly mentioned in text and be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals in the order they are cited in the text (e.g., Table 1, Table 2, Figure 1, Figure 2). Tables and figures should be self-explanatory and include a title; each figure should have a separate legend. For both tables and figures use superscript lowercase letters in alphabetical order (a-z) to identify any footnotes. Any references cited for information used in the tables or figures should be numbered in sequence with references cited in the text (e.g., a Data from the US Census Bureau.5). Submitted artwork should be in printer-ready format, in black and white, and sized to fit within the Quarterly's page space of 4.3 by 6.9 inches, using Times New Roman for text. If you use data from another published or unpublished source, obtain written permission and acknowledge that source fully (e.g., a Reproduced with permission from the American Medical Association.41).
The Quarterly does not use footnotes, except in tables and figures, nor does it use endnotes. Such explanatory material should be incorporated into the text.
All sources used in preparing your manuscript must be properly acknowledged. Please be sure that all references are complete and accurate and cited correctly in text. References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first cited in the text and should be identified in text, tables, and figures with superscript arabic numerals, inserted outside periods and commas, inside colons and semicolons. A reference first or only cited in a table or figure should be numbered so that it is in sequence with references cited in the text at the first text mention of the particular table or figure. When formatting references, follow the AMA Manual of Style, 10th edition, and abbreviate journal names according to their listing in PubMed. List all authors unless there are more than six, in which case list only the first three authors followed by "et al." The following are sample references:

I find it awesome how many Internet tools we have nowadays at our disposal. You can do whatever you want online: meet friends, do business, learn, shop, and much more! I will never grow tired of discovering and exploring new opportunities Web 2.0 (and soon-to-be Web 3.0) offers to us. So in this post I am looking at social budget shopping and how we can save money with social media.
Some most useful Web 2.0 features mentioned below include:
- Personalization: create your own pages, alerts, lists, etc;
- Socialization: make new friends or share your shopping with your existing friends;
- Publicity: you no more have to guess if the retailer is reliable or a product quality is high – get access to multiple user reviews or ask your friends for recommendations.
Create your personalized saving alerts
FreeShipping.org [3], a free service that collects and organizes free shipping offers, has introduced a new social feature: you can save all your favorite coupons [4] in one place and get updated only on those offers that will be interesting to you.
Basically, it is a fully customizable email subscription offer that alerts you only when you want and on the events you choose. All you need is to register (which takes seconds) and add your favorite stores to your page. After that you are given the option to choose the alert frequency: weekly, on the chosen day of the week or as a new coupon appears. Of course, you can share your list with friends who will be able to see it but won't be given an option to change it:
Another example of the personalized alert system is PriceGrabber [5]'s price watching feature: if you have found the item you'd like to buy but can't afford, you can set your desired price for it and receive an email notification once its price drops below your specified minimum. It is a cool feature as you have full control over your email box: receive only those notifications that will most probably result in the purchase.
A step further in the personalized email subscriptions was taken by Trackle [6] – a new web monitoring tool that allows you to track shopping portals and get notified once anything new happens. With it you can create multiple alerts and get notified once the price drops, a rare product becomes available or a new coupon code is issued.
Find and share product reviews
Nowadays you are given an opportunity to research the product thoroughly before buying it: explore user reviews, find reviews given by experts and even watch video reviews. PriceRunner [7] is one of the largest sources for product reviews I am aware of. It lists both users' and experts' reviews. The site also allows users to post video reviews and watch reviews created by other members. CNet [8] is another huge portal listing expert, user and video reviews in multiple product categories.
If you want to read reviews by people you really trust, you should consider using Needdit [9] or I Want One [10] Facebook applications. The latter provides you and your Facebook friends with the ability to review and vote on any Amazon.com products.
However the best way to find trustworthy reviews is to ask your friends on Twitter or search Twitter [11]. Quick tip: if you want to find some negative reviews on the product or retailer, consider adding 🙁 to your search query, example: [iphone 🙁 [12]].
Save money by getting organized
Online wish lists as well as shopping lists are numerous and they offer cool features for you to get control over your shopping and spending. List your future and past purchases, save prices, sort your lists by various categories – as we know, proper organization is the key to success.
Giftag [13] is one good example of such site – it allows you to manage products into the lists, create categories and add tags. Moreover it offers a handy FireFox extension that takes the product page screenshot and saves it for you to better remember the product details:
Besides letting you organize your online shopping, the service provides a wealth of usual web 2.0 goodies: add friends, make your wish lists public, share your lists with friends, etc.
If you have many friends at your Facebook profile and want to share your shopping list with them, you don't have to leave your favorite social network to do that – shop inside Facebook and let your friends see your wish lists and share their opinions.
What I Want [14] Facebook application is your best choice if you want to organize your shopping together with your Facebook friends:
- Organize your wish list according to priority, quantity and purchases.
- Create: shopping lists, What-I-Want, What-I-Have, recommendations, wish lists, etc.
- Share your wish list with your Facebook friends or with non-Facebook users too.
Share your shopping experiences
Today you don't need any technical or marketing knowledge to create a site and get online visibility. Kaboodle [15] is a huge social shopping portal that among other cool features allows members to create shopping blogs and share your shopping experiences in public. You can post anything there, comment, subscribe to others' blogs and rate them by giving "hearts".
The site naturally offers plenty of other social web features: you can compile shopping lists, create and participate in polls, join groups and make friends. All your activities will be viewable in Facebook-like activity feed:
Do you use any social shopping tools? Which ones are your favorite? Please share your thoughts!

Back when the "kinetic military action" (formerly known as war) began in Libya a few months ago, I suggested that it was not a humanitarian action, but rather taking sides in a civil war. I have since amended my position. We are taking the losing side in a civil war.
After weeks of dropping lots of kinetic "stuff," the President retroactively justified his action by stating that our actions were aimed only at preventing a humanitarian crisis. He suggested that Qaddafi was about to cut off water to hundreds of thousands of people in Misurata. So it followed that we must drop bombs because apparently dropping water was out of the question.
Then the President stated unequivocally that targeting Qaddafi and regime change were not our objectives. In fact, he stated, unequivocally again, that such a policy would be a mistake. Mistake, his words, not mine.
Of course, there is no question that Libya -– and the world –- would be better off with Qaddafi out of power. I, along with many other world leaders, have embraced that goal, and will actively pursue it through non-military means. But broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake.
So it should come as no surprise that targeting Qaddafi as an attempt at regime change is exactly what we are now doing. And not through those nicey-nice non-military means the President extolled just two months ago.
We, and yes that means we, are now dropping bombs on Libyan Presidential palaces, killing Qaddafi's son and grand-children. This is what happens when you are desperately seeking an exit strategy for something you should not have begun in the first place. Collateral damage is what you call other people's dead family.
So now what have we achieved? Are we winning the war, eh kinetic military action? Nope. So now what? Even if you kill him, then what?
Congratulations, Mr. President. We are the humanitarian crisis we have been waiting for.
