Walk In Clinic of NYC' mission: to deliver an affordable and convenient urgent medical care to our community. In addition to urgent care, we also do pre-employment, sports and CDL/DOT physicals. Patients who are new to the area and are not yet established with a provider can often obtain refills of their prescription medications.
We provide many services for patients, including ongoing care that you would get from a primary care physician, such as management of high blood pressure or diabetes.
For the convenience of our patients, we are open extended hours, six days a week. We do blood draws, EKGs, urine pregnacy tests, rapid strep tests, blood glucose monitoring, etc onsite which allows for rapid diagnosis. We provide referrals for imaging studies (X-rays, CT scans, MRI) and specialists if nessasery.
With the mix of urgent and non-urgent care we provide, we see ourselves as playing vital and important role in the responsible use of health care resources. One of the factors responsible for spiking and increasing health care costs is the overuse of costly hospital emergency rooms. We can provide many of the same services for a fraction of the cost, saving the valuable emergency room resources for those patients who truly need these facilities.

a little larger than the normal
By Patty61
from Steubenville, Ohio
The product was a little larger than my normal size cartridge, but I got it to fit. I liked the protective cover it came with and the return envelope provided to return my old cartridges. I'll make additional purchases in the future.
Not up to scratch
By dongro
from Undisclosed
I don't believe I've printed more than 50-75 pages, and my printer tells me I'm low on HP 27. That seems pretty quick.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Nothing but the Best
By Leah
from Holland Mi
Two weeks ago I ordered ink cartridges from LD. I received them in less than one week, and replaced the old cartridges with the new. The cartridges, as usual, worked perfectly after I once placed them in my printer. This is the second time I have ordered from LD, and believe me, it will not be the last!! I will continue to order from LD because I do not have to wait 2 weeks or more to receive the order, and the cartridges are very easy to replace. They start working immediately. LD's products are nothing but the Best, believe me!

Vibrant colors and even distribution of inks.This is possibly the best value for the money as a remanufactured cartrage. The turnaround on the order was prompt and securly packaged. I highly recommend "simply ink" to anyone with an inkjet printer.

Sleep Under the Stars in St Lucia
On some occasions when a hotel names its accommodation by something other than a variation on the theme of "Room" or "Suite" it can seem a little forced and even (whisper it softly) pretentious. As soon as I stepped across the threshold of my "Sanctuary" at Jade Mountain though, I understood why the designation "Room" or "Suite" simply wouldn't do here.
Surely no accommodation could have been more aptly named; Star, Moon, Sun and Galaxy are the celestially-minded categories of Sanctuary and you're sure to feel a step closer to heaven during a stay in one of them. Firstly, their sheer size and stylish design are to be relished and secondly, your lofty position high on the mountainside with vistas combining the commanding twin peaks of the Pitons with the contrasting blues of sea and sky is a real showstopper.
It was amazing how quickly I adjusted to having an infinity-edged pool as part and parcel of my living environment and a view unencumbered on the fourth side by irritating detail such as windows and walls. Of course it's that breath-stealing view that the concept hinges upon; an open-sided room with a less dramatic scene to gaze upon would smack of mere folly for folly's sake but at Jade Mountain it's the perfect design.
I'm told that many guests barely leave their Sanctuary during a stay here and I can well believe it; why would you? With a comprehensive menu of delicious cuisine available at all hours and in room spa treatments on offer too, there's no real incentive to do anything other than enjoy the comforts of your Sanctuary and the glories of the view, preferably in the company of the one you love.

Can we go on your field trips, Outsider's events, Art in the Park, etc., if we're not members?
Some of my field trips and events are for members only, but others are open to non-members (at an additional cost) if we have space available. If you're interested in my national and international trips (open to all homeschoolers and don't require membership), please visit my Traveling Homeschoolers website.
Do you know all the families on your trips? Will I feel like an outsider?
Although I have a lot of repeat travelers, the majority of families on each trip are meeting me (and each other) for the first time. You won't feel like an outsider, and will most likely make new lifelong friends.
My husband doesn't like being part of a group. Should we still go?
Yes! Many husbands have told me they started out feeling the same way, but ended up enjoying my trips after all. I organize them so families can stick with the group, go their own way, or mix things up according to how they're feeling each day. We're not stuffy, and they won't be stuck with us the whole time.
Can I opt out of the hotel, meals, transportation, or specific sites on each trip?
Not if the hotel, meal, or event is part of the package. We have to reach minimum numbers to qualify for group discounts, so if several families opt out of a specific event or the hotel, then the rest of the group may be negatively impacted. I'll offer more hotel-optional trips in the future so families who have travel trailers, hotel points, or whatever, can join us, too.
What do your trip fees cover?
They cover the cost of planning and organizing each trip, hotel, admission fees, educational programs, included meals, included transportation, and anything else that I can get at a group discount. Read the description for each trip to see what's covered. We also use fundraising money (Amazon affiliation, Box Tops, Tyson Project A+, and website advertising) to lower the cost of our trips and cover unexpected, last-minute expenses.
Do you have references from people who've been on your trips?
Many of the families who've been on my trips have volunteered to share their experiences (the good, the bad, and the whatnot) with others. Feel free to request references in my forums, on Facebook, or Google me. If I've cheated anyone, it'll be all over the internet.

Make up things about "Joe" to try to get him "killed"
"How can you not know? You spoke with him, didn't you? I mean, what exactly did he say?" Cal was becoming more agitated.
You take a mouthful of brandy and let yourself have a moment to think.
It seems to you that Cal is starting to lose perspective. His urgency is palpable and you can't believe that Radovan would really just chalk it up to acting if he were listening. You're concerned that Cal is taking such a huge risk in asking you these questions with Radovan monitoring. After all, Cal doesn't know what Nicolas has told you. For all he knows, Nicolas hasn't told you about the watch at all and, at any moment, you could spew highly sensitive information without realizing the danger.
Perhaps the watch Cal is wearing isn't the watch to begin with. Isn't it possible that Cal is just wearing a regular watch, so that he might tell the time?
You sigh in frustration. You don't know who or what to trust anymore. You aren't even sure if you can trust yourself.
"The thing is Cal, this Joe fellow seemed a little...strange to me." You start concocting a story and hope that the plan works.
"Strange? Strange, how?" Cal sits again and wipes the perspiration from his forehead.
"Well, like I said, he didn't give me any details about the cure. I think he wanted to keep me from having any information."
"That's not so strange. He's protective of his work, I suppose," Cal reasoned.
"That's not all," you continue. "He started asking me odd questions about you; things I couldn't answer. He then tried to get me to tell him where you live, the places you frequent, things like that."
"What are you getting at, Edward?"
"I think he might be looking for you...but not to cure you. I got the feeling he wants to experiment on you, Cal." You pause for effect. "He's contacted me twice since I met with him; he won't leave me alone."
You hope that Cal picks up on your plan. He must know that you don't still believe the werewolf story. You're not sure what else you can do to make him understand.
You sit across from him and look him square in the eyes, struggling to determine if he gets it. "Well? What are you going to do, Cal?"

bicep workout
Nice to watch this bicep workout. Now I learned some new techniques. Thanks a lot!
Personal Training Dallas
Bicep isolation exercises are pretty unnecessary. Your average person doing bench, rows, deadlifts, shoulder presses, etc. is going to hit their biceps inadvertently. The bicep is a relatively small muscle and isolating it during exercise can lead to over-training. Some of the guys in my gym with the biggest biceps very rarely do isolation exercises.
Great video though.
A good video for bicep work out.I learn a lot of new techniques from this video.
Can you please guide how much time I need to spend out in the bicep work out.
lake mary boot camp
Damn, where i can rent trainers like her? :)
Each body part that you work on should get at least one days rest before you work on it again. Don't over work them when you do work out. You can get a good weight training workout on the internet. Remember, your muscles grow most, when resting.
Take 2 cans of baked beans and keep them with you at all times. Every spare moment you can exercise with the cans, letting your biceps have an all-round workout.
I do multiple bicep workouts and I feel like none of them really work my biceps. I do curls and I do chin ups, fingers facing toward me. I was told those are really good bicep workouts but I feel like it works other muscles way more than my biceps, and they don't make my biceps soar like when I do triceps workouts. Any suggestions as to how I might get a better bicep workout? Thanks
What recommendations do you have for increasing size and strength? What is the best bicep workout for MMA fighting?

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I work on a ship at sea, I was accused of being asleep while prefroming my duties. the job was needle gunning the on the bow, this particular activity is makes a lot of noise. when the Boatswain and Ch. Mate called to the Captain's Office they said that they had a witness that I was asleep, I asked the man about the accusation and he said that they asked him was I doing the job and he told me he said yes that I was working. So where dose this sleeping while working come, and are they trying railroad me off the ship, and am I being harrassed quietly and subtle.
It sounds like your employer conducted an insufficient investigation if, in fact, the witness identified by the employer supports your version of events. I would try to rectify the problem by getting a statement from the witness to give to the investigator. If you are being "railroaded", you may have a claim if the motive for the retaliation is based at least in part on some protected characteristic (e.g., race, color, creed, etc.) or some protected activity (e.g., whistleblowing, complaining about discrimination/harassment/retaliation, taking approved medical leave, etc.)Ask a similar question
The conduct you report is not unlawful unless the motivation for the accusation is based on your membership in a protected class of people, or because you engaged in legally-protected conduct. Your facts do not disclose any such motivation.
Employers are allowed to be unreasonable, irrational and rude. They can have employees who treat other employees without respect, or who make it difficult on others based on favoritism, nepotism or down-right bad attitudes, as long as the motivation is not unlawful.
That said many corporations have internal rules that are more protective than the law where the goal is fostering a healthy and productive work environment. If you work for such a company, it makes great sense to report this directly to the Human Resources department.
Good luck to you.
This answer should not be construed to create any attorney-client relationship. Such a relationship can be formed only through the mutual execution of an attorney-client agreement. The answer given is based on the extremely limited facts provided and the proper course of action might change significantly with the introduction of other facts.

This answer is intended for California residents only. The answering party is only licensed to practice in the State of California.Ask a similar question
Responders here are assuming that US or California law applies to these facts. That may not be the case. If I recall correctly, what matters is what flag your ship is commissioned under, the jurisdictional rules and regs of your ship company, and where the ship was when the alleged misconduct occurred. If you are represented by a union or association of employees, you will instead have the rights that your union has bargained for.
I am flagging your post to receive the attention of maritime and admiralty law attorneys.
No legal advice here. READ THIS BEFORE you contact me! My responses to questions on Avvo are never intended as legal advice and must not be relied upon as if they were legal advice. I give legal advice ONLY in the course of a formal attorney-client relationship. Exchange of information through Avvo's Questions forum does not establish an attorney-client relationship with me. That relationship is established only by joint execution of a written agreement for legal services. My law firm does not provide free consultations. Please do not call or write to me with a "few questions" that require me to analyze the specific facts of your history and your license application and prescribe for you how to get a State license. Send me an email to schedule a paid Consultation for that kind of information, direction, and assistance. My law firm presently accepts cases involving State and federal licenses and permits; discipline against State and federal licenses; and disciplinary and academic challenges to universities, colleges, boarding schools, and private schools. We take cases of wrongful termination or employment discrimination only if the claims involve peace officers, universities or colleges.Ask a similar question
Outstanding thought Christine. You are always thinking outside of the normal box!
You certainly have an employment law issue. Based on the fact that you were out to sea, to cover all bases you need to consult with a maritime law lawyer. There are many different peculiar rules that regulate many activities on ships.

Given limited facts, we are attempting to share relevant information concerning this area of the law as a public service.Ask a similar question
I concur with Ms. McCall in that there is not sufficient information to give you a meaningful response. There are really two questions involved. First relates to your chain of command. If the bosun and mate are making unfair allegations your only real remedy is to go to the master if you want to stay on that ship (or likely with that company). You had better have all your ducks in a row and facts ready to present if you jump the chain of command and take something direct to the master of the vessel, so put some serious thought into it before you just plunge ahead.
With respect to your legal rights: The first consideration is the flag and home port of the vessel you serve on. That will provide the governing law on how far the employer can push you. Note that the employer will be allowed to push you, the question really boils down to how far they can push you.
Second, you will receive the benefits of any union or merchant marine association recognized by that jurisdiction. The union representative or cob will be the person to talk to about what protections are afforded by the association, contract, union or the like.
That is pretty much all the advice I can give without a whole lot more information about the unique facts of your case. If you are serving on a US flagged vessel operated by the merchant marine, your union contract will have specific and detailed protections for all sorts of conditions well past the protections of the law.
Under U.S. law -- which may not apply at all to your situation -- the primary remedy for constructive termination is pay earned to date and one month's pay as damages. See 46 USC § 10313(c).
I would strongly suggest that you seek the advice of an attorney the next time you have any substantial liberty time away from the ship. It sounds from your question that you are a native English speaker, if the master is not a native English speaker, try to find an attorney who is fluent in both languages. If the attorney has to make any contact with the vessel or the company running the ship, the master will be the primary gatekeeper of information in any event.

The neighbour of a former policeman who has been arrested in connection with the murder of Iraqi-born Briton Saad al-Hilli, two members of his family and a passing cyclist in the French Alps saw police take away a motorcycle from his home on Tuesday evening.
Patrick Chiaberge told the Guardian on Wednesday that he watched from an upstairs window from his house in the village of Talloires, outside Annecy, as the light-coloured motorbike was loaded onto a police van. A black motorbike, covered in a yellow tarpaulin, was outside the arrested man's garage on Wednesday morning.
Police have been attempting to trace a motorcyclist who was spotted close to the scene of the murder of Hilli, 50, his wife Iqbal, 47, and her mother, Suhaila-al-Allaf, 74, at around the same time that they were massacred in a layby above the village of Chevaline, to the south of Lake Annecy, on 5 September 2012. A French cyclist, Sylvain Mollier, 45, was also found dead at the scene. But Hilli's two young daughters survived.
The 48-year-old former municipal policeman was arrested as he left home on Tuesday, but Annecy prosecutor Eric Maillaud said he was not necessarily a suspect. The man, who may be able to shed light on the murder mystery and who had no direct link to the Hilli family, was still being interviewed on Wednesday.
Sources close to the investigation said the man's relatives are also to be questioned. Maillaud is due to hold a press conference later in the day.
The arrest came three months after police issued an efit of the bearded motorcyclist, who was wearing a full face helmet with an unusual side fastening used by French gendarmes.
Chiaberge, a retired electrical engineer, said that about 20 to 30 gendarmes arrived at the former policeman's house on Tuesday morning. "They had dogs. They took out a Geiger counter and marked the garden, then they dug the marked spots with a spade."
He saw the paramilitary police, who worked until after dark, taking away guns from the property. According to BFM-TV, the gendarmes found a Luger gun, although not of the same calibre as the P06 handgun used by the lone gunman.
"I saw the gendarmes take out a motorbike, which wasn't the same one that's here now. It was the first time I'd seen any motorbike," he said.
A grey Fiat Panda car was also parked on Wednesday morning outside the man's shuttered house, which is on a small housing estate at the entrance to Tailloires, a village in the shadow of towering snow-dusted peaks which has commanding views over Lake Annecy.
Chiaberge described his next door neighbour as "discreet". He said that since he moved to Tailloires in October: "I'd only seen him from behind. I don't even know what he looks like."
The arrested man, who lives with his partner and has three children, was employed by the nearby town hall of Menthon-Saint-Bernard as a policemen until he lost his job last June.
He was a regular customer at the Café de la Place in Menthon-Saint-Bernard, 2km (1.25 miles) from Tailloires, where the manager told the Guardian: "He was a policeman here, of course we knew him. But people shouldn't accuse him before they know if he did anything wrong." The newsagent in the village also said she knew him but refused to comment further.
The arrest on Tuesday was the first by French police. Hilli's brother Zaid, who has denied any responsibility for the murders, was released without charge last month by Surrey police amid speculation that the crime may have been committed in a family dispute over an inheritance.

Sick of Lying
Lord, I'm so sick of lying. When people ask me how I'm doing, I always say "Fine!"
But so often, it's a lie.
Lord, how precious it is that when I'm with you, I don't have to be fine. I don't have to fake happiness. You know my broken heart.

A level of ugly beyond unattractive. If attractive is like 5 and unattractive is like 0, disattractive is like -27. It literally counteracts any arousal you may experience simply by existing.

We can capture the start and finish of user scrolling with the scrollstart and scrollstop events; see the jQuery Mobile docs for more information.
|Event Handler
|Triggers when a scroll begins. Note that iOS devices freeze DOM manipulation during scroll, queuing them to apply when the scroll finishes. jQuery Mobile is currently investigating ways to allow DOM manipulations to apply before a scroll starts.
|Triggers when a scroll finishes.
In this example, we use jQuery to add a class to the paragraph tags in the body copy when scrolling starts - making the text italic and red - and remove the class when scrolling stops:
Open Events/Demos/scroll.html in a mobile browser to check this out.
We use
$(document).on('scrollstart' and

Tammie EdwardsMature
Leaving my house was never a matter of just leaving my house. Every single member of my family always had to have something to do with it.
Just the same with getting back. Always a member of my family to greet me. If you'd call it that.
At our usual turn-off point, Morgan leant in to kiss me, and I leant away.
She frowned, offended. "What's wrong?"
"I... There'll be people watching..."
She sighed. "There's always going to be people watching."
I remembered the first time she kissed me. It took her weeks to convince me it would be all right, and I was so scared it barely lasted for a second. For the month after, I was constantly paranoid that someone had told my family. But no-one had.
"I know," I said. "You know I just worry... Morgan?"
I cast my eyes up and down the street. It was deserted, as usual. "I love you."
"I love you too," she smiled and took her own look along the empty street before kissing me for a long time.
"Hey, Tammie, where've you been?" My brother Kye sauntered up to me.
"Uh... the park..."
"Who with? Your girlfriend?" He pressed me up against the wall.
"I..." I hesitated, knowing that my brother could see through lies. He was an Edwards kid. We all could.
Kye slapped me across the face and I fell to the floor.
I stopped the tears before they came and stood up, pretending it hadn't hurt.
That was the one thing no-one in my family could see through. The emotions I faked. Faked emotions were equal to some kind of status in this house, although my homosexuality meant my father made sure I remained firmly at the bottom of the food chain.
"You're so weak," Kye sneered. "Look at you. Look at your clothes, like you're better than everyone else. But you're just flimsy, like this material," he tore the sleeve of my dress and walked away.
I sighed and went to my room. The reason I was "flimsy" was because my parents had me on a harsh diet which meant that, at the age of seventeen, I hadn't even reached seven stone yet. My mother would kill me if she knew I'd eaten fast food with Morgan.
And my clothes. The only choice I got in those was which delicate and useless dress I was going to wear. Which fragile shirt I was going to wear with my thin skirt.
The only thing I'd ever bought for myself was a green parka, from a charity shop. I told my mother it was more expensive than it was so she'd think I'd gone to a high-class shop for it.
I'd left it on Morgan's motorbike, so I texted her asking if she could bring it when we met up tomorrow. She didn't reply, but she never replied immediately unless she was alone.
I looked in my mirror. A bruise was forming around my cheekbone, so I brushed my hair over so that it couldn't be seen. I hadn't even told Morgan about the abuse, and I wasn't about to let her know.
I picked up the only picture I had of us together. It was taken three months before she asked me out, and I knew because I remembered the way she looked at me. Plus, it was the day I told her I was a lesbian. She had liked me first. Morgan always made the first move, and I felt guilty for that.
Sighing, I hoped she wouldn't tuck my hair behind my ear as she liked to do. I'd find a way to avoid it. I always found a way to avoid her knowing.

Wide parts of Britain have changed out of recognition because the country has surrendered control of its borders, Nigel Farage claimed as he put immigration at the forefront of the UK Independence Party's European election campaign.
He predicted the party was on course for the "biggest political shock" for years by beating Labour and the Tories to win the largest number of votes at the contests on May 22.
Mr Farage also told activists at the Ukip spring conference that it was well placed to build a base in local government by picking up hundreds of seats in council elections on the same day.
But the conference launch was undermined by the disclosure that its new slogan "Love Britain" had previously been used by the BNP. A spokesman insisted Ukip was "reclaiming" the words from the far-Right party.
In his keynote address in Torquay, Mr Farage seized on figures this week showing a surge in net migration – mainly fuelled by the arrival of European Union workers – as evidence that Britain's frontiers were under unprecedented pressure.
In provocative remarks, he argued that communities across the country had irreparably altered as a result of mass immigration and were not fit to pass on to future generations.
"In scores of our cities and market towns, this country in a short space of time has frankly become unrecognisable.
"Whether it is the impact on local schools and hospitals, whether it is the fact in many parts of England you don't hear English spoken any more.
"This is not the kind of community we want to leave to our children and grandchildren."
He argued: "Eighty per cent of us in this country believe open door immigration is irresponsible, against the interests of the people in this country and that it must stop."
Mr Farage claimed Britain now had a "totally distorted labour market because of the massive oversupply that has come to us from eastern Europe". And he added: "It is ordinary folk, it is ordinary families that are paying the financial price."
The Ukip leader was speaking after a year in which the party has achieved a series of strong by-election performances, consistently outscored the Liberal Democrats in opinion polls and picked up nearly 150 local council seats.
He told the conference that the party represented the biggest threat to the political mainstream for a generation.
He added: "Our ruling classes have lost confidence in this country and that is why they have sold us out and it has cost us money, it has cost us influence and it has cost us self-respect."
Mr Farage insisted it was possible for several Ukip MPs to be elected at next year's general election, but urged his party to focus first on the European elections.
To laughter from activists, he mocked the idea his party was a "splinter group" of the Conservatives and that the typical supporter was a "retired half-colonel living on the edge of Salisbury Plain".
He said: "One fifth of our voters are people who would be described as non-voters, people who haven't voted for 20 years, in some cases people who have never voted in their lives and they are going out and voting Ukip.
"I think we should be very proud of the fact we are re-engaging people back in British democracy, I really do."
He also launched a staunch defence of his candidates and joked about the councillor who claimed gay marriage caused the flooding crisis.Reuse content

Chapter Four (Cont.)Mature
I stared off into the distance to where we were headed. "Why are you so friendly towards a stranger as myself?" I asked. "You reminded me of my ex-girlfriend before she turned- just a little younger." He answered. I held his forehead tightly and sorta played with his hair. "Did you really mean the first phrase you said to me?" He asked. I thought back to when we met. "Oh the one about you being attractive? Definitely." I chuckled.
"You're adorable." Elliot said softly. "Shh no need to compliment me. Just focus on getting there." I replied. "Sorry to rain on your parade but we're here." He chuckled, putting me on the ground. The shop was probably fifty yards from where we stood. "Oh cool." I smiled, beginning to walk to the store. "Sammi wait!" He blurted out, tackling me to the ground. I went blind for a few minutes but I couldn't move once I got my vision back.
All I saw was Elliot shooting a zombie in the head, and then he leaned over me. "Sammi are you okay?" I heard through faded sounds. I wanted to say yes but my throat was dry. He picked me up and carried me to the shop piggy-back style. Several guns cocked and pointed at Elliot. "No wait!" I yelled. He let me down and I stood in front of him. "Who the hell is he..." Jasmine whispered. "Elliot. He helped me get back he-" Elliot pulled me back towards him by my wrist. I felt his stomach against my back and his arms resting on my shoulders in a type of hug.

'It gets so hot, you have to be up early to get things done,' says Mikhail Gherman as he secures a 10ft-tall white Christmas tree to the corrugated-iron roof of the 30s Deco house he shares with his wife, New Zealand's hippest designer, Karen Walker. 'The sun wakes us at dawn anyway because we don't have curtains,' says Karen, who numbers the actress Claire Danes and Shirley Manson of Garbage among her fashion fans.
It's a long way from the London catwalk up here on the roof, where Karen, who is dressed in a miniskirt, vest and gum boots, is stringing fairy lights on to the tree. From up here, you can see all the way to the Coromandel Peninsula, over 30 miles away. It is 6am on what is already a bright blue and boiling December day in the Waitakere Ranges outside Auckland. The Christmas tradition of hauling the tree on to the roof needs to be completed before the sun climbs any higher. Then there are the giant punga ferns to decorate with phosphorescent fishing buoys which will soak up the sun all day and glow into the night.
There's a red wreath of delicate pohutukawa to be hung. You can't buy protected native pohutukawa flowers, you can only gather them from your own land. Luckily, Karen and Mikhail have 12 acres of native bush. The wreath is to be hung on the chimney breast, which is not in the house but down a hill in the outdoor 'room' by the black slate-lined pool. Down there is a mantelpiece, reclining chairs, the essential antipodean barbeque (and even sockets for laptops). This is where Karen and Mikhail and the Who's Who of Auckland hipsters hang out all summer.
It's a guaranteed white Christmas in New Zealand, where the Manuka trees are frosted with delicate white blooms so that the hillside appears covered in a dusting of snow. 'Kiwis get all teary at the sight,' explains Karen. 'We've got no native animals. Our icons are our plants and birds. We get emotional at the sight of punga. Pohutukawa in bloom tells us it's Christmas, which as a kid meant two-and-a-half months off and long days at the beach.'
Now Karen and Mikhail and friends stay home to enjoy a festive feast starting with Stoli vodka kept cold in a slab of ice full of frozen strawberries. The strawberries are Karen's festive touch. The vodka is Mikhail's. His family fled Odessa to a new life here when he was 12.
He experienced Christmas for the first time after he had met his future wife, who was then 17. 'His reaction to the Queen's Speech was: "She's boring, isn't she?" My grandmother was very put out,' laughs Karen, who still tunes in to Buckingham Palace on Christmas Day (and is also a fan of Coronation Street).
Lunch is grilled snapper with limes and lime leaves and served on a ginger leaf - all gathered from the property. The risotto is beetroot and basil. There's also asparagus, snake beans and grilled haloumi cheese washed down with a Pinot Gris from Peregrine Vineyard, Central Otago, in the South Island of New Zealand.
The pool-side ghetto blaster is an original 80s Transonic. Today's soundtrack is pre-selected (it's a long walk back up to the house on the hill, which was originally a house on the beach: a former owner transported it on a truck up here). Neil Young, John Lennon, Blondie and country star Bonnie Prince Billy compete with the sound of the cicadas.
Pudding is pavlova. The Aussies claim they invented The Pav. The Kiwis are sure they did. Karen's version is served with strawberries only. 'Kiwi fruit don't originate in New Zealand anyway,' she explains.
After lunch, it is back in the pool which Mikhail, the creative director for advertising agency Publicis Mojo, has filled with floating stars. He's also an accomplished artist. Back in the USSR, he was judged so talented he was educated at a special art school for gifted children. His sketches of yeti are included in the current exhibition at London's Neon Gallery. 'But I think my rabbits top my yeti,' he muses.
After sunset, the temperature falls and Mikhail stokes up the fire to warm the plum puddings. Karen, her chow-chow dog Turkey and her cats Chicken and Dodo (there's also a palomino pony called Orlando) snuggle on possum-fur rugs. New Zealand is desperate to eradicate an alien possum population, introduced from Australia, which is destroying forest and bird life. Even Karen, a vegetarian and animal lover, approves and uses possum fur in her collections.
As night falls, the lights from the tree on the roof shine bright. 'There would be no point having the tree inside,' says Karen. 'We won't come back indoors until March.'
· The Karen Walker label is stocked in the UK at b store, 6 Conduit Street, London W1 (020 7499 6628); Euphoria, 61b Lancaster Road, Notting Hill, London W11 (020 7243 1808); and Hoxton Boutique, 2 Hoxton Street, London N1 (020 7684 2083).

text: Social Psychology and Theories of Consumer Culture: A Political Economy Perspective By Matthew McDonald 2013 | 184 Pages | ISBN: 0415560039 , 0415812038 | PDF | 2 MB Social Psychology and Theories of Consumer Culture: A Political Economy Perspective presents a critical analysis of the leading positions in social psychology from the perspective of classical and contemporary theories of consumer culture. The analysis seeks to expand social psychological theory by focusing on the interface between modern western culture (consumer culture) and social behaviour. McDonald and Wearing argue that if social psychology is to play a meaningful role in solving some of society's most pressing problems (e.g. global warming, obesity, addiction, alienation, and exclusion) then it needs to incorporate a more comprehensive understanding and analysis of consumer culture. Wide-ranging and challenging, the book offers a fresh insight into critical social psychology appropriate for upper undergraduate and postgraduate courses in personality, social psychology, critical and applied psychology. It will also appeal to those working in clinical, counselling, abnormal, and environmental psychology and anyone with an interest in the integration of social psychology and theories of consumer culture.

Oak is based on the MVCC model where each session starts with a snapshot view of the repository. Concurrent changes from other sessions are not visible to a session until it gets refreshed. A session can be refreshed either explicitly by calling the refresh() method or implicitly by direct-to-workspace methods or by the auto-refresh mode. Also observation event delivery causes a session to be refreshed.+
By default the auto-refresh mode automatically refreshes all sessions that have been idle for more than one second, and it's also possible to explicitly set the auto-refresh parameters.

Jackrabbit 2.x is a solid and feature-rich content repository that works well especially for the needs of traditional web sites and integrated content management applications. However, the trends in user expectations (especially for personalized, interactive and collaborative content), application architectures (distributed, loosely coupled, multi-platform solutions with lots of data) and hardware design (horizontal rather than vertical scaling) have rendered some of the original Jackrabbit design decisions (which date back almost a decade) obsolete and there is no easy way to incrementally update the design.

Earth Wind & Fire Brings It With 1964 Ears
"The 1964 Ears monitors are fantastic. They're great on the road, they're sturdy and the sound quality – it doesn't get any better." Verdine White, EWF Bassist
Philip Bailey, Verdine White, and Ralph Johnson, three of the original members of EWF, along with ten other performers continue to tour the world with an incendiary live show. Providing on-stage monitoring for the band are new, custom in-ear monitors from Portland, OR-based, 1964 Ears.
A total of 18 sets of the Q Quad Driver were delivered for the band and the technical crew – monitor mixer, monitor tech, guitar tech and keyboard tech. The Q Quad uses four balanced armature drivers, including dual low frequency drivers, per ear and is tuned for extended low-end performance.
Terrence Chism is EWF's monitor mixer, having joined the group after working on The Jackson's Unity Tour. He runs a total of 16 mixes with all but three being via the 1964 Ears IEMs. As can be expected, with a 13-piece band, there is a lot of sound – low end especially – originating from the stage, and in-ears helps tame that. Chism runs just three wedge mixes, one mono downstage mix for solos, one wedge for percussionist and vocalist Johnson, plus an additional sub for drummer John Paris. All of the remaining mixes are 1964 Ears.
The reaction by both the band and crew to the 1964 Ears has been unanimously positive. "Everyone loves them," says Chism. "Before we got the 1964 Ears the band was having a hard time. Their existing IEMs weren't giving them the sound and performance that was needed. Now I see the band being more relaxed, especially the singers, because they can hear much better."
About 1964 Ears:
1964 Ears is a Portland, Oregon based manufacturer of professional, custom in-ear monitors for musicians and audiophiles. Founded in 2010 by Vitaliy and Anastasia Belonozhko, the company has equipped high-profile touring artists worldwide with their hand-crafted custom monitoring products.

I ramble. How can I describe myself in a way fitting to show you who I am? Or, rather, what I want you to see? Again, I ramble. 'Do not waste words,' that is my teacher's favorite saying, and yet I waste them so freely, floundering about in some form of self-expression. My name is Kristy Beyke. Don't even bother trying to pronounce the last name correctly because no one ever does. In fact, I had a teacher back in highschool who mispronounced my name for the whole year. Then on the last week of school, one of my friends corrected her. I guess though the best way to learn anything about anyone else is to step out of our own self-focused thought bubbles and concentrate on someone else's. How? Writing, my friend, writing and reading.

Clint Mansell & Kronos Quartet
Signed to Chapter 22, Pop Will Eat Itself put out a series of singles and a pair of albums, attracting much attention. Eventually, they signed to RCA. After three albums, innumerable singles, and a fair amount of critical and commercial success, RCA dumped the Poppies. They immediately signed with their former A&R man's label, Infectious. After another pair of albums, the band began to fragment. Crabb split for his own project, Golden Claw Music, and in 1996 Pop Will Eat Itself split up.
Mansell moved to the U.S. after the breakup. He then proceeded to write the score to the movie Pi, and he produced a limited-edition U.K. remix 12" of the movie's theme. In addition, he has worked with Trent Reznor, both helping with remixes and appearing on Nine Inch Nails' album The Fragile, and has pursued film scoring aggressively, including the scores for Requiem for a Dream, Moon, Noah, The Fountain, Stoker, and Black Swan, the latter of which received a Grammy nomination. ~ Joshua Landau, Rovi

Washington, March 18 : US and Austrian scientists have made a significant advance towards the next generation of plastic solar cells that may help replace inorganic solar cells, and provide a cheaper but environmentally-friendly way to meet the rising demands of energy.
Alan J. Heeger, an expert at the University of California at Santa Barbara, says that the new plastic solar cells have been fabricated from bulk heterojunction materials comprising semiconducting polymers and fullerenes.
He and his colleagues have already found these cells to show promising performance in a study.
The researchers, however, are still unclear on how to control the nano-scale morphology, and are looking for ways to optimise the solar cell performance for practical use.
Heeger, co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2000 for his pioneering research on conducting polymers, is well-known for his ongoing works to improve solar cell efficiencies.
The latest study conducted by Heeger and his colleagues revealed that adding a class of chemicals called alkanedithiols as processing additives improves both the morphology and the solar cell performance.
The researchers observed that the efficiency of the plastic solar cells increased from 3.4 per cent to 5.1 per cent upon using alkanedithiols as processing additives.
The significance of this finding lies in the fact that it is among the highest efficiencies achieved to date for this type of solar cell.
"These data provide a better understanding of correlation between the nano-scale morphology of the bulk heterojunction film and the solar cell performance," the researchers write in their study report, scheduled for publication in the March 19 issue of ACS' Journal of the American Chemical Society.

THE POPULAR interest in gathering and eating uncultivated mushrooms has been associated with an increase in incidents of serious mushroom-related poisonings.1 From December 28, 1996, through January 6, 1997, nine persons in northern California required hospitalization after eating Amanita phalloides (i.e., "death cap") mushrooms; two of these persons died. Risks associated with eating these mushrooms result from a potent hepatotoxin. This report describes four cases of A. phalloides poisoning in patients admitted to a regional referral hospital in northern California during January 1997 and underscores that wild mushrooms should not be eaten unless identified as nonpoisonous by a mushroom expert.
Case 1.
A 32-year-old man gathered and ate wild mushrooms that he believed were similar to other mushrooms he had previously gathered and eaten. Eight hours later, he developed vomiting and profuse diarrhea; he was admitted to a hospital 19 hours after ingestion. On admission, he was dehydrated
Amanita phalloides Mushroom Poisoning—Northern California, January 1997. JAMA. 1997;278(1):16-17. doi:10.1001/jama.1997.03550010028015

Andrew: AND HERE WE ARE IN MORTDALE! YES FOR THE 4TH TASK…!

Florence: Nothing.
Asif: As-if.
Priest: So anyone want any popcorn?
Jack: You still here?
Florence: Have you no friends, your own age?
Priest: Well… not really, a priest's life is a lonely one. Children are so much more innocent and friendly.
Chaniqua: PERVERT!
Priest: I swear, I'm never allowed to be near children without that insult thrown at me.
George: Well come on Greg, I don't like all these objects on the pitch.
Lucy: What are they?
Chelsea: I think there meant to kill people.
Jack: (sarcastically) Really?

Mrs Conrad: It wasn't a shock, the shock was, he lasted this long.
John: His fake…
Jaya: FINISH THAT SENTENCE JOHN! I FUCKING DARE YOU!
Astounded pause and heavy silence at Jaya's unnaturally loud voice)
Announcer: Err… CARRY ON!
(Task begins)
Greg (thinking): I can't move, I can't breathe, I gotta get outta here!
(Is about too, but then Leanne pushes him into the fire field)
Leanne: KYLE KILL HIM!
(Kyle appears he has ripped a flame-thrower from the ground, he points the burning funnel slowly towards Greg)
Florence: OH NO GREG IS TO DIE VIA BURN!
Kyle: Goodbye you son of a b…

Bastian: GREG RUN!
Kyle: FUCK YOU, WEIRDO!
Aaron: (From sidelines) Bit rich coming from him.
Greg (thinking) Gotta move... got to...
Leanne: GET HIM!
Imogen: GREG MOVE!
Greg (breaking down): I can't I can't move… I'll get... I'll get burnt Imogen! It will hurt me!

Imogen: Oh for god's sake…
(Lifts Greg over her shoulder)
(As this occurs, Elliot crosses the finishing line, Leanne is on rampage)
Leanne: BURN BABY! BURN! BURN
(She laughs Insanely as David and Boston are burnt alive)
Danny: Useless pricks, guess it's down to me, I will win this.! (Sees Imogen sprinting towards the finish line, determined to rid of competition, he lunges, Imogen falls as does Greg)
Imogen: NO!
Danny: JUST DIE ALREADY! (Aims flame-thrower he has gained at her, she dodges the first fireball, but the second burns her calf)
Danny: (mockingly) What now?
Imogen: I have a name you bastard.
Danny: Pity it has to end like this.
Imogen: What is your problem asshole?
Danny: Aww little girl has got sour grapes.
Imogen: Just end it then, guess your just like your scumbag dad.
Danny: (going stiff) No, I don't think I am.
Imogen: You are, It's your biggest problem.
Danny: My problem? (suddenly exploding) MY PROBLEM? HA! I HAVE TO WIN! AND WIN I WILL! I FUCKING HATE BEING IN MORTDALE SECONDARY SCHOOL, WITH THOSE CHAVS, MY DAD IS THE LEADER AND I'M EXPECTED TO BE LIKE HIM! I ACT LIKE A CHAV BUT WHEN I WIN. OOH WHEN I WIN, I'M TAKING MY MUM AND THREE LITTLE SISTERS AND…
Imogen: ... run away with them to a desert island.

Announcer: THREE-DOWN, OKAY FINALLY THERE'S KYLE IN 4TH AND LEANNE IN 5TH WE HAVE OUR FINAL FIVE, FOUR ARE DEAD ONE ELIMINATED!...

Greg: F... F... Fu... (He lunges at Kyle) FUCK YOU! (He is held back by Imogen)
Imogen (sobbing): Greg, there's nothing you can do, Bastian his… his gone.

Imogen: Greg you might as well tell everyone.
Chelsea: Tell everyone what?

Christmas Cheer
Dec 21, 2007
Eating out is one of my favorite things to do, except on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day—that's when I'll actually make my way to the kitchen. While reading Four-Star Feasts, I couldn't help thinking that while the menus of these acclaimed chefs sounds good (I'm definitely clipping the Cajun shrimp recipe), my family's traditional meal—turkey, dressing (most call it stuffing), sherry sweet potatoes, sesame spinach and a few other dishes that change according to my mood each year—is equally deserving of the four-star feast title. I do the veggies and my mom takes care of the turkey. So, I'm off to cook and eat.
Merry Christmas!

I looked at the IV needle in my arm and felt faint, a dull ache formed around the pierced area but it was the opposite arm to the last injection and I was feeling better already. Kian came in through the curtain and strode right over to me,
"They didn't hurt you did they?" he asked concerned,
"They were nice..." I said thinking back to the time in the orphanage; the people were here were kind, thoughtful and sympathetic,
"You had me so worried Liss," he cried as he took a seat and stared at me, I looked back at him and then caught sight of myself in the metal bed rail,
"Ugh, I'm a mess," I said bringing my hand to my face, Kian gently peeled it away,
"You're always beautiful to me," he said kindly, I pulled a face, I hated compliments,
"Kian you don't have to say that to make me feel better," I told him,
"I don't have to say it, but sometimes you have to tell the truth," I looked down and noticed he still had hold of my hand, his fingers slid in between mine and he stood up leaning over me. "You're so precious to me," he whispered, I blushed but he probably couldn't see it under the dirt and bruises,
"Kian you're pretty special too," I said bring his hand up to my heart, he looked down at my chest and sighed,
"I can't believe I let them beat you up," with my other hand I lifted his face to look at mine,
"You didn't let them beat me up Kian, you defended me, remember?" I told him passionately, "I don't get why you feel it your... your duty to protect me,"
"I have no choice Liss..." he said,
"What? Why?" I asked,
"Because it's just something I have to do, no questions asked. I'd jump in front of a bullet for you any day,"
"Why? I'm nothing special, you're far more valuable than me," I told him bluntly,
"The way you look at yourself is ludicrous," he said fervently. I rolled my eyes and rested my head on the pillow; I wasn't in the mood to debate with Kian, he usually won anyhow. "Tired?" he guessed, I merely nodded. He sat back in his chair and played with my fingers; I allowed him that as I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep. I couldn't. I felt so bad, I was always mean to Kian and I didn't know why he tolerated it, if I were Kian I'd have deserted me long ago. He was persistent and even when I told him to stop, he'd carry on and deep down I relished him telling me I was beautiful and that he'd do anything for me, I knew he was always truthful - he couldn't actually lie - and it warmed my heart to know someone cared about me. I felt his lips brush my fingers but I was too close to sleep to dwell on it, I enveloped into darkness, peace and unconsciousness.
"Morning Felicity," said a voice, my eyes were already open and glued to the man with a needle,
"Don't... please!" I cried. I knew he'd inject me nevertheless, his evil eyes and chunky fingers, I blinked. Before me stood a pleasant looking man with a kind smile, he came towards me,
"It won't hurt Felicity," he said gently, I didn't even notice the needle slide in; I relaxed back down and recovered from my flashback from the orphanage. I knew it would always spook me, the dirt, the sickness, the punishments and the torture. I didn't know how I'd have survived it without Kian, that reminded me,
"Where's Kian?" I asked,
"He stayed over night, I think he's having a shower," replied the man, I smiled at least he was being looked after, "He didn't want to leave you, but we persuaded him with the promise of new clothes." I smiled again, although I'd spent a night asleep I was still tired, "The police want to talk to you," said the doctor as he filled in a form, I groaned, "I'll send them in later," he promised. I smiled in response and watched him fill in the form. The way the pen scratched against the paper suddenly brought back more memories, memories which I thought I'd forgotten, it took me back to when I first met Kian...
Four - the age when testing began, I was automatically entered into the child group. I stood in a single file line with other 4 year olds, I was the new one, the one who didn't know what was about to happen. Another small hand grasped mine and I turned to see a small blond boy with beautiful green eyes, he had smiled at me and then looked forward. I followed his gaze and watched as a bald man with a clipboard allowed children into the clinic one by one. As the door was closed on the first child there was an ear-wrenching scream, the boy's hand tightened around mine and he turned and whispered in my ear,
"It's not as bad as it sounds," I turned to look at him again, my deep brown eyes wide with concern, "Promise," he mouthed. I did not know what lay in store but as a lifeless child was carried out I began to back away, the boy tried to pull me back into the queue but I wasn't having it. I yanked my hand out of his and turned round, ready to run as fast as I could away from it, however I ran straight into a man over 6 foot. I looked up at him, his face didn't soften as he looked down at me, he grabbed me by the arms and carried me to the front, his fingers constricted around me.
"We've got a newbie," he said gruffly, "We tend to do these first, so as not to scare them off," the man with the clipboard bowed his head in agreement,
"She'll go next," he reported, I gulped as I was let back down to my level, my collar was grabbed by the man and I waited in line. As I was escorted into the room I glanced back at the boy who had taken my hand, his face wasn't smug or saying 'I told you so,' he showed genuine concern. He smiled half-heartedly as the door closed on me.
I can't report what happened in that room, mainly because I cannot bring myself to think of it, I can tell you though that when I recovered a few days later, Kian was the first face I saw.
