9 Outfits That Prove Large Size Women Can Use AnyBy Admin - 2 hours ago8 Comments
There's something that I refer to as "managing culture," and it's a phenomenon that has the tendency to make its most energetic appearance come spring and summer season trends. "I could not possibly pull that off." "I do not have the legs for that!" "That was created with a woman half my size in mind!" "Taylor Swift is the only human who might ever use such a thing!" You enjoy t-shirt dresses and loose-fitted silhouettes? What I have an issue with is this "pulling off" concept the idea that because you're a particular size or shape, you just aren't worthy of style. You could not possibly look "excellent" in fashionable things.Continue reading >>>
Ivanka Trump Sued for Presumably Copying $785 Shoe DesignBy Admin - 10 hours ago5 Comments
Fashion business owner and shoe designer Ivanka Trump is being called out as a thief by high-end Italian shoes company Aquazzura. The shoes brand filed match versus Trump for supposedly taking at least three of its designs and using them in her own, eponymous shoe line, the Huffington Post reports. Likewise called in the match is Marc Fisher, the manufacturer Trump collaborates with, as well as 2 other companies.

Adele's bespoke Chloe Glastonbury look took
" Where can I get Adele's dress?!" was the definite question being asked on Twitter as the Tottenham-born star performed her headline set at Glastonbury festival on Saturday night. For anyone wanting to get their hands on the floor-sweeping, flute-sleeved, 70s-inspired black gown it won't be a simple case of putting in an online order. The dress was a bespoke design by Parisian fashion house Chloe. Adele and her stylist, Gaelle Paul, had actually turned to Clare Waight-Keller- the British imaginative director of Chloe- to produce a unique design inspired celebration culture over the years. The atelier has exposed that the dress took more than 200 hours to make, with buttons and shells hand embroidered onto the corset of the dress.Continue reading >>>

Project Description
An experienced PHP / mySQL / Smarty Programmer is needed.
This person or team must be able to analyze / design / code stand alone applications, be able to create add-ons / mods to existing applications and be able use APIs to connect applications together.
Knowledge and a firm understanding in the concepts of:
a CMS (CMSMadeSimple, Joomla, etc)
a Shopping cart (CS-Cart, Zen-Cart, osCommerce, OpenCart)
Payment Gateways ([url removed, login to view], QuantumGateway)
Email Marketing (Interspire IEM6)
Linux (Redhat, CentOS)
Apache (1.3.x, 2.x)
are required.
Numerous projects, some small and some large, are in need of your talents.
1. CS-Cart = PHP, Smarty
CS-Cart comes in 3 "flavors": Professional, Ultimate, Multi-Vendor (MV). Professional is one Store, one Admin. Ultimate is multiple Stores, one Admin. And MV is one Store (or Mall), multi-Admins (Vendors, Producers).
a) Change the Vendor's Admin "backoffice" in CS-Cart MV by "hiding" (removing) some the Products tabs and Products fields that the Vendor's sees.
A Vendor has to go through too many steps / tabs / pages / fields to Add a new product to the Store or Mall.
b) Change the way Vendors upload digital (downloadable) Products. The Store / Mall Admin can upload files through FTP and select them from the server when adding a new downloadable Product, however, the Vendors can only upload through CS-Cart, which is fine for small files, not too good for large 1+GB files.
c) Replace the Newsletter feature / function with IEM6. There is a CS-Cart / Mailchimp addon that can be purchased ... the addon can be purchased and then modified to work with IEM6's API instead of Mailchimp's or an addon can be developed from scratch ... whichever is the cheapest and quickest to get up and running.
d) Addon or replace the existing Vendor feature / function. The existing Vendor management is rather weak or doesn't exist, for example, Vendor Payouts is a manual task.
e) Addon a [url removed, login to view] feature / feature module to CS-Cart so a Vendor can sell either a downloadable Product, a shippable Product or a membership / subscription Product.
2) Create a "Gateway to the Gateways"
Need scripts (CS-Cart, osCommerce, etc) to "talk" with "My Gateway" which "talks" to the Gateways ([url removed, login to view], QuantumGateway) example:
CS-Cart makes "calls" to "My Gateway". "My Gateway" makes "calls" to the Gateway. The Gateway answers back to "My Gateway" which answers back to the CS-Cart.
In other words, "My Gateway" is a "go through" routine between the scripts and the Gateways. "My Gateway" will "round robin" through a list of Merchant Accounts and "talk" with various Gateways ... it will keep track of ALL payment transactions no matter what script or site the transactions are coming from.
3) I have several sites that have been sitting around for years that I need to get up and running again. I want them managed by a decent CMS that is Smarty driven so future design changes can be done easily and quickly.
I need to know an estimate of the time frame to complete the individual task and when are you able to start.

Yeah, I've been feeling pretty guilty about not having updated this 'fic lately, so I decided to just suck it up and try to write something for this. Please don't flame me if it's bad. I actually got a flame for the last chapter and that's actually one of the reasons I haven't updates thus far. I was afraid of getting flamed again. Either way, I'm going on regardless. Suck it up soldier, life goes on. Oh, I also owe everyone here a great chocolate cookie, there ya' go! I do not own Generator Rex, blah blah blah, enjoy.
Holiday's first reaction was to grab her assailant and throw whoever or whatever it was over her head. The attacker landed on the sofa and got in a defensive position. Rex felt his eyes widen when he saw that the attacker was, in fact, a small boy. He had the same mousey-brown hair as Tokyo, only his eyes were a pure sky blue instead of the ninja's sapphire ones.
"Who are you! Enemy! Our side! State who you are now, or-!" He was cut off in mid-sentence by Hannah-Marie whacking him upside the head. "Ow!" He clutched his head in his hands and gritted his teeth as he glared up at the group from Providence and the Pack.
"How many times do I gotta' tell you, if I bought' 'em here, they're fine. No one else could get in anyway. Now make yerself scarce. Go on, scat!" The boy glared at them one last time and exited the room. "Sorry 'bout that, that there was Tokyo's younger brother, Kyoto."
"Hmm, Tokyo, Kyoto. Does anyone else notice the similarity of their names?" But Bobo's comment went unnoticed. Everyone else was too busy checking the place out. Not only was the the furniture rather elegant, but there were cases with weapons all over the room. Knives, swords, guns, fighting staffs tipped with sharp metal ends, shurikens, and Rex thought he even spotted a flame-thrower in the collection. "Nice stash. You buy all these or make 'em yourself?"
Tokyo answered this. "Oh, we collect them. The town's police stations and weapon stores were raided when the outbreak first started up. Some people traded some of their weapons for clothes, food, water, or whatever else they needed. Other times we took them from the bodies of zombies we killed. Not to mention the weapons the Holidays had gotten in the initial panic." Bobo nodded, impressed.
Then, there was a loud crash and a sound of something heavy being dragged across a floor. A tall, blonde-haired man came into the room, dragging with him a middle aged man with black hair. The blonde man dropped the older man on the ground with a loud THUMP.
"Well, well, well. Looks like we've got ourselves a trespasser." Hannah-Marie scowled and walked to the two until she was standing right above the older man.
"I-i-i-i'm sorry! Please forgive me! There were two of them, they were chasing after me! I had to hide somewhere!" Dr. Holiday's older sister watched this display with a deep scowl on her face as she listened to the black-haired man's story. She made a motion to the blonde one and he forced the older man to stand. She made another motion and the man's sleeve, which was soaked a deep scarlett, was pulled up. Rex shuddered and Circe gasped. The man had a large bite-mark on his arm, and it looked human too. The man began shaking even harder so it looked like he was going to collapse. "No, no please!"
Hannah-Marie gave no answer, she instead slowly raised a gun from her pocket and put it at the man's temple. She spoke slowly and methodically, with no emotion in her voice. "Boy, yew jest used up yer first chance." The man seemed to relax a little, until she interrupted with a 'but'. "But. Around here, you only get one chance." That's when she pulled the trigger. The blood from his head spattered only a bit, but it was enough to make Circe jerk when she saw it. Rex and Bobo just watched in horror. Hannah-Marie put the gun back in her pocket and turned to face one of the boarded windows. "Take 'im down to the basement and put 'im in the furnace. We ain't gonna put 'im outside, that'll just attract more." The blonde man nodded and started carrying the now-dead man down the stairs to the basement.
"Why did you do that? Why did you kill him? He may have broken into the house, but that was no reason to shoot him like that!" Hannah-Marie turned and looked at Rex with a cold stare, none of her earlier friendliness was in her eyes or on her face. All that was there was cold determination.
"Tell me somethin' Boy, are yew stupid?"
"What? No, I'm not stupid!"
"Then yew should have been able to figger' it out. These thing, these, zombies, ain't the product of some curse or stupid old legend. It's a disease. A plague. A plague that is spread by bitin' another person. That man had been bitten earlier, ye' got eyes, I'm sure ye saw the mark. If we hadn't shot him, he woulda' turned and tried to eat us later on. In here, it's survival of the fittest, wether ye' like it or not. So, if ye' don't like it, then go back to where ye' came from."

Worst Cooks Skill Drills: Knife Strifeby Joseph Erdos in Shows, March 1st, 2014
On Worst Cooks in America, every recruit's goal is to be a cut above the rest, to make it all the way to the end. And one of the most-important skills that can help them get to that point is wielding a chef's knife properly. The first person to master that culinary fundamental has a better chance of turning out dishes that show precision. A knife can also be an accident waiting to happen, especially for those who don't use it properly — many recruits have shown it's easier to cut your finger than an onion.
The lessons learned here: First, don't be afraid of the knife. Hold it as an extension of your hand. Second, be careful. Keep the fingers of your free had way from the blade and curled under. And third, use a sharp knife. A dull knife can slip and cause injury.
Watch the video above to relive some top moments, and learn a lesson or two on the best way to hold and use your chef's knife. The next time you're watching a recruit hold a knife badly, you'll notice exactly what he or she is doing wrong — and you won't do the same thing yourself.
Watch additional Skill Drills videos on the Worst Cooks in America page.

A Finnish cohort of 336 subjects with diagnosed hypertension and 444 controls was analyzed. Samples were genotyped for decorin rs7308752 and rs516115 polymorphisms. The GG genotype of the decorin polymorphism rs7308752 (A>G) and the CC genotype of the rs516115 (T>C) are associated with decreased plasma resistin (show RETN Proteins) levels. These two decorin polymorphisms appear to have biological relevance in human vascular pathophysiology.
analysis of decorin and lumican (show LUM Proteins) expression in fibroblasts correlated with palmoplantar collagen bundle size
via gain-of-function analyses, DCN overexpression could inhibit renal cell carcinoma (show MOK Proteins) (RCC (show XRCC1 Proteins)) cell proliferation and metastasis in vitro and vivo. At the mechanism level, we found that an ectopic expression of DCN significantly upregulated P21 (show CDKN1A Proteins) and E-cadherin (show CDH1 Proteins) expression. Altogether, these results revealed that DCN is a tumor suppressor in RCC (show XRCC1 Proteins), and it could serve as a potential therapeutic target in patients with RCC (show XRCC1 Proteins).
Internal mammary artery tissue from active smokers contains decreased amounts of type 1 collagen and decorin.

Decorin plays a key role in the maintenance of the order in the normal corneal extracellular matrix.
Compared with bone graft and marrow cavity contents, sticking scars had the highest expression of BMP-2 (show BMP2 Proteins) while bone grafts had the highest expression of DCN.
Defective Proteolytic Processing of Fibrillar Procollagens and Prodecorin Due to Biallelic BMP1 (show BMP1 Proteins) Mutations Results in a Severe, Progressive Form of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (show COL1A2 Proteins).
The inclusion of decorin proteoglycan during fibrillogenesis of type I collagen increases the modulus and tensile strength of resulting collagen gels.
These findings reveal a novel role of DCN as an antagonistic ligand for VEGFR-2 (show KDR Proteins).
Data show that biglycan (show BGN Proteins), collagen type I, collagen type II, decorin, and versican (show Vcan Proteins) were significantly affected by vibration duration, frequency, and amplitude.
Results suggest that decorin contributes to the formation and stabilization of collagen fibres in the perimysium that support muscle fibres assembled with myogenesis.
decorin is a dimer in solution
decorin-induced fibroblast cytoskeletal and signalling changes result in an increased cell migration; potential role in the remodelling process
Transduced bovine decorin synthesized de novo by rat arterial smooth muscle cells increases type I collagen synthesis and enhances contraction of collagen gels.
The results indicate that CTGF (show CTGF Proteins) suppresses the synthesis of biglycan (show BGN Proteins) but newly induced that of decorin in the cells when the cell density is low.
a novel collagen binding domain in decorin acts cooperatively with leucine-rich repeat 4 to mask the alpha2beta1 integrin-binding site on collagen, an important sequence for the phagocytosis of collagen fibrils

We found that decorin is abundantly secreted and deposited in normal connective tissue but its expression is consistently decreased in the tumor microenvironment.
Decorin signaling supported fetal membrane remodeling at early stages of gestation in a TGFbeta (show TGFB1 Proteins)-dependent manner, and fetal membrane stabilization at later stages of gestation without changes in TGFbeta (show TGFB1 Proteins) levels.
A decorin-deficient matrix affects skin chondroitin/dermatan sulfate levels and keratinocyte function.
LDL electrostatic interactions with decorin and biglycan (show BGN Proteins) in the aortic valve leaflets and vascular wall is a major source of LDL retention.
The expression of the DCN gene increased from gestational day 26 to 90 in both Yorkshire and Meishan pig placenta.
The protein encoded by this gene is a small cellular or pericellular matrix proteoglycan that is closely related in structure to biglycan protein. The encoded protein and biglycan are thought to be the result of a gene duplication. This protein is a component of connective tissue, binds to type I collagen fibrils, and plays a role in matrix assembly. It contains one attached glycosaminoglycan chain. This protein is capable of suppressing the growth of various tumor cell lines. There are multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants known for this gene. This gene is a candidate gene for Marfan syndrome.

Author has written 5 stories for Harry Potter, Victorious, and Vampire Diaries.
I guess Christmas is over so I should change my profile to accommodate for the change.
Best Christmas ever (Farrrr better then when I was 9 and everyone had a nap for like five hours after lunch), And I must be a bit sadistic because my favorite part was when my brother opened up what looked like a SG3 but it was actually one of those model phones in Dad's old SG3 box. It was the funniest thing ever he was so excited and then when he realized his face was priceless. In the end he did get one (Lucky twat). Though I got my iPhone5 so I'm all cool with that.
Fanfiction I guess I what I should really talk about so that this does sound like some extremely long twitter post or a blog report.
I'm still in my Victorious, Vampire Diaries craze minus Delena and Bade, GRRR terrible couples.
If anyone reads my stories you'll notice I rarely update often, I don't have a lot of time and I'm not a professional writer I never will be, I have my priorities straight. I'm an A list student, a girlfriend, a Daughter, a sister a grandchild, a niece, a nerd, a best friend, a friend, probably someone's enemy. School, my family, my friends and boyfriend, and life commitments all are more important to me than my fan fiction. I understand that everyone wants a regularity of updates in stories they read, But I don't have the time and I'm not pushing aside something more important to me for this. I love writing but it's a interest not a life path.

Mount Sinai Hospital, founded in 1852, is one of the oldest and largest teaching hospitals in the United States.[1] In 2011–2012, Mount Sinai Hospital was ranked as one of America's best hospitals by U.S. News & World Report in 12 specialties.[2] Mount Sinai Hospital was ranked number 16 on the U.S. News & World Report 2014–15 Best Hospitals Rankings Honor Roll.[3] It was ranked number 15 on U.S. News & World Report 2016-2017 Best Hospitals Rankings Honor Roll.[4]
Located on the eastern border of Central Park stretching along Fifth Avenue between 98th and 103rd Street in the New York City borough of Manhattan, Mount Sinai also has a number of hospital affiliates in the New York metropolitan area including Brooklyn Hospital Center, and an additional campus, the Mount Sinai Hospital of Queens.
The hospital is also affiliated with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, which opened in September 1968.[5] In 2013, the Mount Sinai Hospital joined with the Continuum Health Partners in the creation of the Mount Sinai Health System. The system encompasses the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and seven hospital campuses in the New York metropolitan area, as well as a large, regional ambulatory footprint.
As U.S. cities grew more crowded in the mid-19th century, philanthropist Sampson Simson (1780-1857) founded a hospital to address the needs of New York's rapidly growing Jewish immigrant community. It was the second Jewish hospital in the United States. At the time of its founding in 1852, other hospitals in New York City discriminated against Jews by not hiring them and preventing them from being treated in their wards.[6]
The Jews' Hospital in the City of New York, as it was then called, was built on 28th Street in Manhattan, between 7th and 8th Avenues, on land donated by Simson; it opened two years before Simson's death. Four years later, it was unexpectedly filled to capacity with soldiers from the Civil War.[7][8]
The Jews' Hospital felt the effects of the escalating Civil War in other ways, as staff doctors and board members were called into service: Dr. Israel Moses served four years as lieutenant colonel in the 72nd;[9] Joseph Seligman had to resign as a member of the board of directors, as he was increasingly called upon by President Lincoln for advice on the country's growing financial crisis.[10][11]
The Draft Riots of 1863 again strained the resources of the new hospital, as draft inequities and a shortage of qualified men increased racial tensions in New York City. As the Jews' Hospital struggled to tend to the many wounded, outside its walls over 100 men, and children were killed in the riots.[12]
More and more, the Jews' Hospital was finding itself an integral part of the general community. In 1866, to reflect this new-found role, it changed its name. In 1872, the hospital moved uptown to the east side of Lexington Avenue, between 66th and 67th Streets.[13][14]
Now called The Mount Sinai Hospital, the institution forged relationships with many physicians who made contributions to medicine, including Henry N. Heineman, Frederick S. Mandelbaum, Bernard Sachs, Charles A. Elsberg, Emanuel Libman, and, most significantly, Abraham Jacobi, known as the father of American pediatrics and a champion of construction at the hospital's new site on Manhattan's Upper East Side in 1904.[15]
The hospital established a school of nursing in 1881. Created by Alma deLeon Hendricks and a small group of women, the Mount Sinai Hospital Training School for Nurses was taken over by the hospital in 1895. In 1923, the name was changed to the Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing. This school closed in 1971 after graduating 4,700 nurses—all women except one man in the last class. An active alumnae association continues.
The early 20th century had the population of New York City explode. That, coupled with many new discoveries at Mount Sinai (including significant advances in blood transfusions and the first endotracheal anesthesia apparatus), meant that Mount Sinai's pool of doctors and experts was in increasing demand. A $1.35 million expansion of the 1904 hospital site (equivalent to over $30 million in 2008)[16] raced to keep pace with demand. The opening of the new buildings was delayed by the advent of World War I. Mount Sinai responded to a request from the United States Army Medical Corps with the creation of Base Hospital No.3. This unit went to France in early 1918 and treated 9,127 patients with 172 deaths: 54 surgical and 118 medical, the latter due mainly to influenza and pneumonia.
Two decades later, with tensions in Europe escalating, a committee dedicated to finding placements for doctors fleeing Nazi Germany was founded in 1933. With the help of the National Committee for the Resettlement of Foreign Physicians, Mount Sinai Hospital became a new home for a large number of émigrés. When World War II broke out, Mount Sinai was the first hospital to throw open its doors to Red Cross nurses' aides; the hospital trained many in its effort to reduce the nursing shortage in the States. Meanwhile, the president of the medical board, George Baehr, M.D., was called by President Roosevelt to serve as the nation's Chief Medical Director of the Office of Civilian Defense.[17]
These wartime roles were eclipsed, however, when the men and women of Mount Sinai's 3rd General Hospital set sail for Casablanca, eventually setting up a 1,000-bed hospital in war-torn Tunisia. Before moving to tend to the needs of soldiers in Italy and France, the 3rd General Hospital had treated more than 5,000 wounded soldiers.[18]
In the decades following World War II, Mount Sinai has continued its efforts to expand its usefulness to medicine and its communities. In 1963, the hospital created a medical school, and in 1968 welcomed the first students of Mount Sinai School of Medicine, now the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The 1980s had a $500 million hospital expansion, including the construction of the Guggenheim Pavilion, the first medical facility designed by I.M. Pei; the faculty has made significant contributions to gene therapy, cardiology, immunotherapy, organ transplants, cancer treatments, and minimally invasive surgery.
Writing for The Boston Globe on 14 October 2007, Scott Allen reported the issue of patient abuse and problems with human resources management at Mount Sinai by Dr. Jack M. Gorman who was Department Chairman of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai. Allen stated that; "... officials at McLean learned that Gorman had, like so many patients at the renowned psychiatric hospital, attempted suicide. But their initial sympathy for a sick man turned to horror when they learned, from a legal document delivered in mid-May, why he had taken such a desperate measure. The married father of two had brought a shameful secret with him to Massachusetts: He had engaged in a long-term sexual relationship with a New York patient... Gorman, 55, inspired great hope when McLean and Partners announced that they had lured him away from New York City's Mount Sinai School of Medicine in October 2005... It was Gorman's decision to contact the New York Board of Professional Medical Conduct that finally brought the episode to public attention. Earlier this month, the board finally acted on what Gorman told them, posting on its website that his medical license had been indefinitely suspended for 'inappropriate sexual contact' with a patient."[19]
The issue of human resources management between nurses and doctors at Mount Sinai hospital was reported by Jose Martinez on April 20, 2010 in the New York Daily News. As stated by Martinez: "A Catholic nurse was forced to assist in an abortion at Mount Sinai Medical Center over her strenuous objections, a lawsuit filed Friday charges. Catherina Cenzon-DeCarlo, who works in the operating room at the Manhattan hospital, contends that her boss ordered her to assist in the May 2009 abortion of a 22-week-old fetus or face charges of 'insubordination and patient abandonment.'"[20]
In January 2013 David L. Reich was the first openly gay medical doctor named Interim President of Mount Sinai Hospital as reported by The New York Times;[21] in October of the same year he was named President.[22][23] On November 24, 2002, The New York Times reported the commitment ceremony of Reich to Keith Loren Marran stating that: "Keith Loren Marran Jr. and Dr. David Louis Reich are to celebrate their partnership today with a commitment ceremony at the Bloom Ballroom in Manhattan. Judge Paul G. Feinman of New York City Civil Court in Manhattan will officiate." [21]
James McKinley writing for The New York Times reported abuse issue investigations dealing with human resources management at Mount Sinai Hospital on March 24, 2016 when a doctor was brought to court for abuse of several patients. As stated by McKinley: "A former doctor at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan was arraigned on Thursday on charges of sexually abusing four women who came into the emergency room there, touching their breasts for no medical reason and, in one case, drugging, groping and masturbating on a patient. The physician, Dr. David H. Newman, pleaded not guilty before Justice Michael J. Obus in State Supreme Court in Manhattan to one count of first-degree sexual abuse and four counts of third-degree sexual abuse. He remains free on bail. 'Four young women who came to the hospital for medical treatment were sexually abused by the very doctor entrusted with their care,' the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., said in a statement."[24]
Dennis S. Charney, the current Dean of Mount Sinai, graduated from medical school at Penn State in 1977 and completed his residency in Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine. A fellowship in Biological Psychiatry was completed at the Connecticut Medical Health Center. Charney was shot and wounded as he left a deli in his home town of Chappaqua, New York, early on the morning of August 29, 2016. Hengjun Chao, a former Mount Sinai faculty member who had been fired for cause in 2010, was arrested and charged with attempted murder.[25][26] As reported by Jonah Bromwich in the New York Times, "A former faculty member at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine who had been fired shot the school's dean outside a popular deli in Chappaqua, N.Y., on Monday, apparently in an act of revenge, the authorities said... Mount Sinai officials confirmed that the dean, Dr. Dennis S. Charney, 65, of Chappaqua, was one of the victims. The name of the other victim was not released. 'This is an extremely disturbing event,' Dr. Kenneth L. Davis, the chief executive of the Mount Sinai Health System, said in a statement. 'Fortunately, Dr. Charney's injuries are not life-threatening, and we expect he will fully recover.'"[27]

The Department for Education is ready to waive the requirement for creches or other establishments looking after children of up to six or seven to be inspected before being put on the national Childcare Register. Checks by Ofsted are also to be cut back. Experts said that nurseries would be able to register by simply filling out a form.
Anne Longfield, chief executive of the charity 4Children, said: 'Parents will be unhappy and they are right to be. They choose a nursery or childcare facility on the assumption someone has allowed it to operate and that the basics of quality have been checked by someone.
'Even under the current arrangements, where a nursery can be checked once every three years, a lot can change between inspections,' she added.
Confirmation of the changes came just months after an Ofsted report said that while most childcare facilities were meeting required standards, at least 10,000 children had been rescued from inadequate or potentially dangerous childcare by inspections last year. More than 1,000 nurseries or childminders had fallen below the minimum standard. Ofsted said it had received nearly 2,000 complaints on issues such as safety, smacking and bullying.

In a bid to outflank the Tories on a key election issue, Mr Balls said that all schools should root out disruptive pupils or face an Ofsted re-inspection.
He unveiled the target that every primary and secondary school should have a "good" or "outstanding" rating on behaviour by 2012, or be on track to reach one at their next inspection.
He said the most badly behaved pupils would be pulled out of mainstream schools and forced into "sin bin" education centres, or taken out of normal classes and taught elsewhere within the same school.
Mr Balls said: "Parents want their children to go to an orderly school with a strong head teacher who won't tolerate bullying or disruptive behaviour in the classroom.
"Our new Behaviour Challenge will ensure that every school has good discipline. And we will back head teachers, and expect all parents to back teachers, so they have the confidence to use their powers to the full so they can get on and teach."
The Behaviour Challenge scheme is being launched as part of a wider drive to improve standards across schools and follows Sir Alan Steer's recent report on pupil discipline.
Schools that fail to improve behaviour will face a legal warning notice issued either by their local council or the Schools Secretary. If the school ignores the notice, it will be subjected to re-inspection by Ofsted within a year.
The school will then risk having the regulator mark it as having "unsatisfactory" standards of classroom discipline. The school's rating will also feature in a new "report card" to parents on their overall performance.
Mr Balls intends to bring in laws which require councils to provide full-time education "in alternative provision" for children whose behaviour cannot be resolved within mainstream schooling.
He said that making behaviour a priority was key to improving school standards results. His announcement follows shadow secretary Michael Gove pushing pupil discipline to the top of the Tories' agenda on education.

Nana San Open. Already winning raves.
Edwin Goei
Nana San, the restaurant that the original Ango Tei folks were developing in Newport Beach, has now been open for a little more than two weeks. And from the looks of the comments on the post that I published a month ago about it, it's a crowd-pleaser, at least from the old Ango Tei crowd.

The question: I bike to work every day and of course wear a helmet, but I wind up having 'helmet hair' every day so I just end up putting it in a pony tail. Is there a way I can get the indents out of my 'do once I arrive at the office? Are there other styles that would also work post-bike ride?
The answer: The ballerina bun or top bun is pretty trendy right now, but if you'd rather avoid the severity of the Black Swan look, you could try pin-curling your hair before popping your helmet on.
Once you arrive at the office, spray the pin curls with some dry shampoo, which will help with any humidity that may have accumulated under that helmet during the ride. Shake out the curls and you've got a nice alternative to the pony. My other suggestion:
Purchase a straightening iron and keep it at the office. You can take five minutes to iron out the kinks and, should an après-work invite for drinks come up, you'll have a handy tool to polish your look up.

I've always thought that if I'm interested in a guy, he should at least be my height, if not taller. It's just...easier, you know? People don't think twice when they see a shorter woman with a taller man, but when it's the other way around it tends to create chatter. I would say that most women I've ever heard from about this subject have said they have this preference, too.
Some people would ask, well, what about guys who are a little shorter than usual? Is it unfair for someone like me, being 5'9", to eliminate a guy from romantic consideration if he's, say, 5'6"? What's my hang-up?
On an online dating site, if you do a search for people and attempt to narrow the number of results (in addition to searching for something obvious like geographic proximity), one of the many filters you can use to eliminate people from your search results is minimum height. I haven't used this search feature for a number of months, but I remember what I originally set as the minimum height -- 5'10", which is an inch taller than me.
I have a hypothesis, though. A guy would probably say it's unfair for a taller woman not to give him a chance (if a height difference is the only thing holding them apart from mutual attraction), but I think there are many guys who specifically look for shorter women. This doesn't hold true all the time, for sure -- there are always exceptions to any rule -- but, well, here's the thing. I'm basing this assumption on personal experience. I've dated a few guys who weren't substantially taller than me and the subject of height has always come up, usually sooner rather than later.
Sometimes it'll be a comment, like the guy will say, "I've never dated a woman as tall as you before." Or when we're standing face-to-face, they'll straighten up as tall as they can, just to make sure the top of their head is above mine. (To the other tall ladies out there, have you noticed that when someone does this and you're wearing shoes, they automatically look down to see how much height your shoes are adding?)
And, really, come on -- it's not like I'm an Amazon. What must it be like for women who are 6' or taller?
(And yes, certainly, sometimes there are positive comments as well. Like the tall guys who say it's nice not to have to bend down so far when they come in for a kiss.)
I've thought about what it might be like to go out with a guy who's shorter than me. I know there would be absolutely no difference in the person -- it would all come down to how comfortable I felt about having him be the one to tip his head back when it came time for a kiss. I'm not sure how I'd feel about that. And on the flip side, I think there are a lot of guys who wouldn't know how they feel about that, either.
I don't know what made me start thinking about this recently. Maybe because I've now gone out with men who were older than I said I'd go out with, and I've gone out with people who had a different overall look/body type than my "normal" preference. I guess it just makes me wonder what other things I thought were what I wanted may not really be the case.
Ladies, have you ever dated someone who was noticeably shorter than you? Guys, have you dated someone taller? If you haven't, do you think you'd be okay with that?

When other guys see a guy with a woman who's taller than he is, they assume one of two things: A) He has a lot of money, or B) He's really good in bed. Bagging a six-footer is big-game hunting. If you land one, everyone will assume you're a baller. Now, get out there, and find yourself a tall woman. I bet she's waiting for you -- with her heels on.
Double X: Julia Childs' Height Was Not a Handicap
Tall women's struggles are more subtle. You're not aware of this unless you're tall, but there's a vortex of silence around tall female public figures, and a total dearth of tall female role models. Sure, there are lots of very successful tall women out there. But you probably don't know who they are. Because they don't talk about it.

text: Indirect Object Pronouns We've seen three types of pronouns so far: – Subject: yo, tú, él… – Reflexive: me, te, se… – Direct object: me, te, lo, la… In this slide show, we are going to look at one more type: indirect objects. What's an indirect object? Complete these sentences: – The teacher gave ___ an A. – Bill Gates sent ___ a million dollars. – My parents bought ___ a used car. – Julia told ___ the big secret. So tell me the answer! Did you say something like: – The teacher gave you an A. – Bill Gates sent me a million dollars. – My parents bought my little sister a used car. – Julia told everyone the big secret. Indirect objects The indirect objects in these sentences are the people who received something: you, me, my little sister, everyone. The first two objects use pronouns – you, me. Can you guess what the Spanish equivalents are? That's right! me > me you > te The second pair of objects can be replaced with pronouns – her, them. What are the Spanish equivalents? Hmm, this looks familiar! her > le them > les We've seen this form before when we looked at gusta. Some common verbs Indirect objects are used together with verbs such as: – Dar (give) – Enviar (send) – Comprar (buy) – Mandar (send) – Decir (tell) – Regalar (give a gift) Here are the forms! The "indirect objects" are: – me > me – te > you – le > him, her, "Ud." – nos > us – les > them, "Uds." ¡Vamos a practicar! Complete each sentence with an appropriate indirect object pronoun. The recipient for each sentence is provided. [Recipient: me] Mis padres ___ enviaron (sent) $100 para comprar un vestido nuevo. Mis padres me enviaron (sent) $100 para comprar un vestido nuevo. Remember to place all objects before a one-word verb form. Otro, por favor. [Recipient: you] ¿ ___ enviaron tus padres dinero también? ¿ Te enviaron tus padres dinero también? What if there is more than one of "you" ? ¿ Les enviaron sus padres dinero también? Use the "Uds." form! Muy bien. [Recipient: her] Diego ___ compró un anillo (ring) a Luisa. Diego le compró un anillo (ring) a Luisa. Can you give us another? [Recipient: us] La profesora de antropología ___ da mucha tarea. La profesora de antropología nos da mucha tarea. Double trouble. In all of the examples, there are two objects. That is, someone is giving something to someone. The something is the direct object and the someone (the recipient) is the indirect object). Say what? Look at the first examples and identify the objects: The teacher gave you an A. – Recipient: you – Thing received: an A Bill Gates sent me a million dollars. – Recipient: me – Thing received: a million dollars My parents bought my little sister a used car. – Recipient: my little sister – Thing received: a used car Double objects We can simplify each sentence if we already know what the objects refer to. Look at this passage: My little sister got a new apartment across town, but there is no bus service. She saw a used car she liked a lot, but she didn't have a lot of money. My parents bought it for her. Let's take a closer My parents bought it for her. The expression in red is the indirect object (the recipient) and the word in yellow is the direct object. Both are pronouns. What about in Spanish? We can do the same thing in Spanish: Tengo que comprar un libro para la clase de historia, pero no tengo dinero. Mis padres me lo van a enviar por Western Union. – Recipient: me – Thing received: lo (el dinero) I do! Mis padres me lo van a enviar por Western Union. Note that the indirect object precedes the direct object. Think "indirect, direct object": I DO. L+L=S+L No, it's not algebra class! There is a special rule about double object pronouns that you will need to know: if a sentence has two objects that both start with L, the first one changes to SE. An example, please. Sure! Let's simplify this sentence: Yo envié una carta a mi hermano. You could say either: – Yo le envié una carta. … or: – Yo la envié a mi hermano. But you could also say: – Yo se la envié. – Note how the "le" changes to "se"; you can't say "le la" because both objects start with an "l." Let's practice a few! El director dio un mensaje (message) a la secretaria. El director ___ ___ dio. El director se lo dio. – Lo = el mensaje – Se = a la secretaria ¡Otro, por favor! Carmen envió unas cajas de ropa a su hija. Carmen ___ ___ envió. Carmen se las envió. – Las = las cajas – Se = a su hija Uno más y acabamos. Mis padres regalaron unos cheques a mi hermana. Mis padres ___ __ regalaron. Mis padres se los regalaron. – Los = unos cheques – Se = a mi hermana (not "me) ¡Ya está! To summarize, here are the four forms you will need for Spanish 1010-1020: Subject yo tú él ella Ud. nosotros ellos ellas Reflexive me te se se se nos se se Direct object me te lo la lo, la nos los las Indirect object me te le le le nos les les

Everything that follows is quoted from the excellent Christianity Today Weblog:
Evidence that bolsters a doubted biblical tale
An archaeological find in Jordan is making researchers —- who seem terrified of proving the Bible historically accurate —- very skittish. The New York Times reports on the ongoing controversy.
An international team of archaeologists has recorded radiocarbon dates that they say show the tribes of Edom may have indeed come together in a cohesive society as early as the 12th century B.C., certainly by the 10th. The evidence was found in the ruins of a large copper-processing center and fortress at Khirbat en-Nahas, in the lowlands of what was Edom and is now part of Jordan. * * *
The findings, Dr. Levy and Dr. Najjar added, lend credence to biblical accounts of the rivalry between Edom and the Israelites in what was then known as Judah. By extension, they said, this supported the tradition that Judah itself had by the time of David and Solomon, in the early 10th century, emerged as a kingdom with ambition and the means of fighting off the Edomites.
The discover [sic] runs counter to prevailing notions that the kingdoms of David and Solomon were little more than agricultural cooperatives.
Most criticism has come from advocates of a "low chronology" or "minimalist" school of early biblical history. They contend that in David's time Edom was a pastoral society, and Judah not much more advanced. In this view, ancient Israel did not develop into a true state until the eighth century B.C., a century and a half after David. * * *
Israel Finkelstein, an archaeologist at Tel Aviv University and a leading proponent of the low-chronology model, has said the new research does "not shed new light on the question of state formation in Edom." He argues that perhaps the copper operations were controlled by chieftains in Beersheba, to the west, and supplied material for urban centers west and north of Edom.
Right, any explanation makes sense except the Bible's.

Pizza Stores – 2014 Ratings
Posted by Canstar Blue May 19th 2014
You are viewing the archived 2014 ratings for pizza stores. Go to the current pizza store ratings.
* Overall satisfaction is an individual rating and not a combined total of all ratings. Brands with equal overall satisfaction ratings are listed in alphabetical order.
Go for gourmet: Pizza Capers cap off fourth award for customer satisfaction
When it comes to getting gourmet pizza delivered, Australian customers are spoiled for choice. Should you go with the tried and true Dominos, Eagle Boys, or Pizza Hut, or maybe pick one of the more recent entrants into the pizzeria business: Pizza Capers or Crust?
We asked those who had eaten a pizza from one of these chains how satisfied they were with their choice. As it turns out, Australian customers are most satisfied with Pizza Capers, who have received our pizza stores award for the fourth time. This makes this brand our longest running award-winner in a single category.
Additionally, Pizza Capers was a five star recipient for the taste of its pizzas, customer service when ordering, and the variety of menu items it supported. This is in addition to the top rating Pizza Capers received for overall customer satisfaction.
The aforementioned Pizza Hut, Dominos, Eagle Boys, and Crust were also compared in these results. Of these brands, Dominos was a close runner up for the top spot, having received five star ratings for value for money, service when ordering, available deals, and delivery service. This may not come as a surprise, given the company's switch to more gourmet options last year.
Another top-tier pizza store company was Crust, who earned five stars for the taste of its pizzas and the variety of menu items available.
Other interesting facts about Australians who order pizza
Our survey results uncovered some other interesting facts about pizza lovers. For example, more than half our respondents prefer to buy from the gourmet range of their pizza store's menu, especially New South Welshmen and women (58%). Additionally, more than a third always add extras to their order, like garlic bread or delicious desserts.
Responses also revealed how Australians tend to order their meals. Close to half always order their pizza online, and a quarter have a mobile application to do this.
Finally, more than a third of respondents would rather order pizza than go out for dinner, making it a true staple in the homes of busy Australians.
Overall customer satisfaction
If you're craving a takeaway or delivery treat, you should consider Pizza Capers: our five star recipients for overall satisfaction. Next were four star achievers Dominos, Crust, and Eagle Boys; then three star recipient Pizza Hut.
Value for money
Getting better value pizza might mean a bigger 'pie', more extras like garlic bread and soft drink, or included coupons for the next time you order. Dominos customers were most satisfied with the value for money of their order. This brand secured five stars, and was followed by four star achiever Eagle Boys. Next with three stars each were Pizza Hut, Pizza Capers, and Crust.
Service when ordering (e.g. online, on the phone, face to face)
One Canstar Blue staffer was coming home from the airport on a business trip late one evening and badly wanted some dinner. He used an app on his smartphone to order his 'usual', paid by credit card, and the freshly cooked pizza was waiting on his doorstep the minute he arrived home. That is the kind of convenience and ease of use that we can expect from our pizza stores nowadays.
Crust, Dominos and Pizza Capers earned five stars for customer satisfaction with service when ordering, while Eagle Boys and Pizza Hut were close behind with four.
Deals available
Whether it's 'buy one get one free' or 'cheap Tuesdays', deals can save you lots of money in the long run – or net you more food! Dominos pulled ahead with a five star rating for the deals available to its customers. Both Eagle Boys and Pizza Hut achieved four stars, Pizza Capers received three, and Crust finished with two.
Dominos customers were most satisfied with the delivery service of their pizza store – namely its availability, the time it took for their food to arrive, and satisfaction with any additional charges. Eagle Boys, Crust, and Pizza Hut each received four stars for their delivery service, and Pizza Capers secured three.
Variety of menu items available
Most people have favourite pizza toppings and a preference for certain extras. Out of our rated brands, both Pizza Capers and Crust both finished with top ratings: five stars for the variety of menu items available. Eagle Boys and Dominos received four stars each, and Pizza Hut received three.
Taste of pizza
Capping off our survey were Crust and Pizza Capers, each of whom received five star ratings for the taste of their pizzas. All other rated brands – Pizza Hut, Dominos, and Eagle Boys – finished with three.
How we rated pizza stores
Canstar Blue commissions Colmar Brunton to regularly survey 2,500 Australian consumers across a range of categories to measure and track customer satisfaction. The outcomes reported are the results from customers within the survey group who have purchased and eaten a pizza (by buying online or in person) from a specialist chain pizza store / restaurant in the last three months – in this case, 1,244 passengers.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included. Results are comparative and it should be noted that brands receiving three stars have still achieved a satisfaction measure of at least six out of 10.

Losing weight after breast reduction?
I am having a breast reduction in 7 days. Before the surgery I was planning on being my goal weight. I don't plan on loosing too much weight, I am 5'1 and 117. My goal weight is between 105-110. I'm an asymmetrical C cup going down to I hope a smaller B. My biggest worry is that they are going to be saggy when I reach my goal weight. I did think about waiting until I reached my goal weight but I am turning 21 soon and I'm tired of my asymmetrical chest getting in the way. Thanks for your time.

Weight loss after reduction
It is hard to predict if the 7-10 lb weight loss will impact your result. It is your decision to move forward. Best of luck.
Web reference: https://www.stevenwallachmd.com/breast/breast-reduction/
Breast changes after weight loss
The breast reduction alone will help you lose some weight (depending on how small you are going maybe about 1 lb). Any weight you lose after this could potentially come out from your breasts, but given it doesn't sound like you are losing a great deal of weight, you are not likely to end up with "sagging" breasts. I have had a patient lose more than 50 lbs after breast reduction surgery with some deflation and a little bit of excess skin in her breasts, but if you are talking about losing 5-10 lbs this is less likely to happen.
Breast Reduction
A lot of it depends on where you lose most of your weight with weight loss. Some women don't lose weight in their breasts, only their abdomebn, flanks, hips. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with and who is a board-certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Best wishes! Dr. Desai

GM Sales of Remaining Four Brands Rise 49%, Topping Estimates on Discounts
General Motors Co. said U.S. sales of its four remaining brands rose 49 percent in February, topping analysts' estimates, as discounts and new financing options lured buyers.
Deliveries in the month increased to 207,028 vehicles, Detroit-based GM said today on its website. The results beat four analysts' average estimate for a 36 percent increase.
GM expanded lease offerings in February and kept incentives it used to top the industry's sales gains in January, said Don Johnson, the company's vice president of U.S. sales. GM's finance unit offered leases in twice the number of U.S. states as a month earlier and led partners such as Ally Financial Inc. to make more competitive offers to dealers, he said.
"Our marketing momentum is building, our dealer strength is building, and our financing capabilities through GM Financial and Ally are building," Johnson said yesterday in a briefing with reporters at GM's headquarters. "Those are the things that will allow us to dial back a little bit on incentives and maintain our momentum."
Chevrolet brand sales rose 43 percent to 142,919 vehicles, and Buick deliveries increased 73 percent to 15,807, the company said. GMC sales gained 59 percent to 32,534, while Cadillac deliveries climbed 70 percent to 15,768.
GM fell 20 cents to $33.33 at 10:50 a.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, rebounding from an intraday low of $32.88. The shares have climbed 1 percent from their $33 initial public offering price.
Industrywide Sales
Industrywide light-vehicle sales in February may run at a 12.5 million annual rate, the average estimate of 10 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. The seasonally adjusted rate in January and December was 12.6 million, the fastest since the 14.2 million rate during the U.S. government's "cash for clunkers" incentive program in August 2009, according to Autodata Corp. in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey.
Confidence among U.S. consumers rose in February to the highest in three years, according to separate reports last week from the Conference Board and Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan. The percentage of consumers planning to buy a new vehicle within six months increased to 4.6 percent from 3.1 percent at the end of last year, the Conference Board said.
Chief Executive Officer Dan Akerson is pushing for quicker development and introductions of new models as the automaker revamps a vehicle lineup that has aged more than rivals such as Ford Motor Co.'s, due in part to GM's bankruptcy in 2009.
GM's spending on incentives will "start to moderate in March," Johnson said yesterday. Incentive spending rose 16 percent to an estimated $3,663 per sold vehicle in January, the highest among major automakers, according to Autodata.
GM Incentives
"They are at the top of the industry once again in terms of incentives," Paul Ballew, chief economist for Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. in Columbus, Ohio, said yesterday before GM released sales results. "I wouldn't say they are falling into bad habits yet. With an older product portfolio, they should have higher incentives. It's a number to keep an eye on."
GM expects to be "roughly in line" with the industry by the end of the year in incentive spending, Johnson said yesterday.
General Motors Financial Co. expanded lease offerings to 16 states in the eastern U.S. last month, from eight at the end of January, GM's Johnson said. GM expects to be offering leases throughout the country with GM Financial by about halfway through the year, he said.
GM Financial
GM acquired and renamed the lender, formerly known as AmeriCredit Corp., in October last year. The acquisition has brought GM closer to the industry average for leases as a percentage of U.S. sales, and partners including Ally are stepping up offers for subprime buyers and lease customers.
"We have two finance sources now that are healthy, aggressive, are providing our dealers and customers with a wider range of financing options, and a little bit of competition is good," Johnson said. "We knew that would add to our retail share performance this year."
Toyota Motor Corp. may say sales climbed 27 percent, the average of four analysts' estimates. The world's largest automaker suspended U.S. sales and production of eight models early last year as it recalled millions of vehicles for unintended acceleration defects.
Toyota's share of the U.S. market fell to 12.8 percent in February 2010, the lowest since July 2005, according to Autodata.
Ford Estimates
Ford, the second-largest U.S. automaker, may report a 6.5 percent gain in February sales, the average of six estimates. It is a "good bet" that Ford lost U.S. market share last month, George Pipas, the Dearborn-Michigan-based automaker's sales analyst, said yesterday in a briefing with reporters.
Ford sold vehicles in the U.S. for $700 to $800 more in January and February compared to a year earlier, while industrywide prices were mostly unchanged, Pipas said yesterday.
Chrysler Group LLC, based in Auburn Hills, Michigan, may say sales rose 6.1 percent, the average of five analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Deliveries at Tokyo-based Honda Motor Co. may have risen 12 percent, and Yokohama, Japan-based Nissan Motor Co.'s sales may have increased 19 percent, according to the average of four analysts' estimates.
Light-vehicle sales in 2010 rose to 11.6 million from a 27- year low in 2009. Deliveries were still 31 percent less than the average 16.8 million annual average from 2000 to 2007, according to Autodata.

My wife's cutting board she bought a few years ago from a box store broke in half, so I had some scrap cedar & pine in the shop & decided to attempt my first butcher block glue up. I was impressed & happy with the result, & so was the wife lol! That's the most important thing right? I finished it with some food grade mineral oil.

It looks great with all those knots on cedar. Like the stripes and wood combo. Well done!
