1183 Tasting Notes
Another of the Andao teas that I never got around to opening before the company went kaput.
At least I had the foresight to buy some yunnans.
This one has really pretty dry leaves. Long and twisty, with more dark than blond but still a nice variation in color from the tips. A malty, cocoa scent from the dry leaves.
The steeped tea is clear and brandy-colored, and it smells bready with a hint of pepper.
The flavor carries some of that breadiness over. It's medium bodied, with a bit of perk to it. It isn't sugary sweet like some yunnans, but it does have a gently sweet aftertaste. More cocoa than honey.
I'm going to enjoy sipping down this one.
Flavors: Baked Bread, Cocoa, Pepper
This is another sample from the pure T sampler, and the first of the Sanctuary T samples I haven't sipped down in a single serving. It's about 9g of tea, and that was too much for my gaiwan. So I get more than one shot at this one.
I expected this to be pretty much what I've experienced in other tieguanyins from the look of the dry leaves and their green, floral aroma.
But I started with hotter water, and the first steep after rinsing (15 sec) was more like a darker oolong. More of a roasted flavor than a floral/dairy one. The steeped tea does have a strong floral/dairy note, but it's got a roastiness as well.
So I decided to go cooler for the next steep and see what that did. The water temperature didn't seem to make much difference in the flavor. So I'm concluding that this is a medium or dark roast tieguanyin, rather than a green.
There's an interesting toffee-like note to this, particularly in the finish, and once I stopped looking for the green oolong flavor, I could focus on the nuttiness of this one.
I took it through several more steeps, but I'm reserving the rating for now as I'm not sure how to classify this. I'll think about it more and give it another try before rating.
I spent the morning going through papers that had piled up and have paper cuts on three out of five fingers on my right hand, so my notes are likely to be a bit shorter than usual for the next day or so. Ugh.
Flavors: Almond, Floral, Nutty, Toffee
Sipdown no. 12 of 2016 (no. 233 total). The rest of the sample.
I almost drank the Teavana Almond Biscotti. Then I almost drank the Brioche.
Then I thought, why do that when this one ties for second among the three and there's enough to do a sipdown?
Time to try a new tisane. I have a few samples left, as the collection continues to get whittled down.
In the packet, it smells like some sort of baked good. Gingerbread, maybe? It's not so chocolatey that I'd identify it as a chocolate aroma. The mixture looks heavy on the chocolate and caramel pieces and light on the honeybush and rosebuds.
Steeped, it smells boozy. A liqueur smell. Kahlua, maybe, though it has been a while since I had Kahlua. It has a tea-colored liquor that's remarkably clear given the various sugary things in it that undoubtedly melted when steeped.
Fortunately, it doesn't taste boozy. Well, at least not in the sip. There's a bit of liqueur flavor in the aftertaste. The sip is mostly caramel, with some vaguely cocoa notes. It's smooth and tasty, and a bit on the subtle side which I think improves it over what it might taste like if it was the sort of thing that hit you over the head. I can't really taste the honeybush, which is a plus.
I was going to say I couldn't really taste the torte, either, which would be a minus. But as it cools, I do get a suggestion of baked goods. Not as strong as the one in the Amaretti Cookie, but it is there.
This is the sort of thing I would have gone nuts for a few years back when I was marveling at the fact that a drink could taste like a decadent dessert without the calories. It's good enough that it's tempting me back toward desserty non-fruit tisanes tonight.
For that I rate it high, but I'm not sure it's enough to make me completely buck my trend of late to crave fruity tisanes instead of desserty chocolate, caramel, cake, etc. ones.
Flavors: Alcohol, Caramel, Chocolate
I had never had Kahlua, not being a coffee drinker and not really drinking alcohol much at all, but I got bored one night and saw a recipe on Pinterest for homemade Kahlua so I gave it a try. Oh my, that is tasty stuff! A few people have tried it and say it tastes like the real thing and they loved it. I mainly made it to go in recipes that call for it.
My dim recollection of Kahlua is that it tastes best with something creamy. There was a place in Boston when I was in law school that made an amazing drink that was almost like an ice cream sundae (though served hot) with carmelized sugar melted over the glass and all kinds of other things, and I think there was Kahlua in it. It was delicious and warming. I've had it "straight"-er in things like Black Russians and didn't love it that way.
Sipdown no. 10 for 2016 (no. 231 total).
After sipping my way through this, I can safely say that the ginger was more prominent than the lemon throughout, not just in the cup I wrote about initially. I continued to enjoy the ginger flavor in this, though I can't say that in the last few cups I sipped down I got the effervescence impression that I mentioned initially. Perhaps that is a function of age (the tisane's, not mine).
Flavors: Ginger, Lemon, Wet Wood
Sipdown no. 9 of 2016 (no. 230 total). After saying I should shake up the tin to try to distribute the mint and chocolate more evenly, I forgot to do that every single time I had this until after I was already steeping. Oh well.
Not much to add. It's more mint than chocolate, and it's ok but not the best I've had.
Hi, Ekm. A sipdown is when you drink the last of the type of tea you're writing a note on. I'm not sure who coined the term. For a while a group of us were referring to that sort of event as a "decupboarding," but then "sipdown" sort of took off so I started using that terminology.
TTB stands for traveling tea box.
Oh, and I should add that the numbers in the sipdown counts can mean different things. For me, they're the total number of containers of tea I've finished, whether those are large tins or single serving samples. I think some other people use them to indicate how many teas they have left in their stash after sipping down the tea they're writing about. Or other things.
Sipdown no. 8 of 2016 (no. 229 total). A sample. The second of the green tea sampler from Sanctuary T.
I was delighted to find jasmine pearls among the samples as they are such a favorite of mine. These smell very jasminey in the packet and steep to a very pale, clear yellow that is almost colorless. The jasmine is the primary note in the aroma as one might expect, and the same is true with regard to the flavor. The tea is quite mild in its jasmine-ness as well as in its tea-ness. Not bitter, or otherwise having any off notes. Just not very present, and the jasmine is rather light. It's actually a good combination to have the jasmine light where the tea is also light. Otherwise you get a pasted on jasmine flavor, which this doesn't have.
It's a good jasmine pearls, but I prefer more depth to the underlying tea.
Flavors: Jasmine
I haven't really tried any of these because green tea often makes me feel sick, but I've been eyeing various jasmine pearls for a while now. Can you recommend any that don't use natural or artificial flavoring and that actually have jasmine flowers you can see?
I've had a number of jasmine pearls but I can't vouch for whether they use any sort of flavoring or not. I am fairly sure from the description on their site that the Tavalon green jasmine (not pearls) which I liked a lot doesn't use flavoring. Also, I recently drank an older sample of the Samovar jasmine pearls which I thought was terrific. As far as I can tell from the description on their site, they don't use anything but flowers to scent the tea. Interestingly, though, the current site says they use a mix of green and white teas in their pearls, and the Steepster description says it's classified as a green tea but actually uses a variety of white tea in the pearls. Which makes me wonder whether that's why I found that one outstanding among the ones I've had.
Sipdown no. 7 of 2016 (no. 228 total). A sample.
It has been a while since I had a genmaicha. I like them, when I'm in the mood for them. Since it's still pretty early in the day, I thought I could risk turning to this one, which has matcha in it, after a couple of black teas this morning without ending up awake at four a.m. We shall see.
It makes a cloudy, yellow liquor that is quite pretty. It looks like liquid lemon drops. The aroma is mostly toasty rice, but with a seaweed/grassy tone as well.
One of the things I like about Genmaicha and also one of the reasons I have to be in the mood for it is that sometimes it can remind me of eating sushi. The green, vegetable, and seaweed tones combined with the rice tones can sometimes remind me of kappa maki (without the soy sauce, wasabi, and the need to chew).
This one gives me a bit of that experience. It's tasty, not bitter, has quite a lot of toasty rice and is nicely balanced with the grass/seaweed flavor of the tea.
I am not sure I fully understand umami, but I would venture to say this has it.
Flavors: Rice, Seaweed, Toasty
Sipdown no. 6 of 2016 (no. 227 total). The rest of the sample.It tastes particularly brisk and bright today, with honey in the aroma and in the finish. The assam throat grab is barely present. It teeters between being a great tea on the surface and something that has a bit more depth.
So here's a question. When you're tasting tea do you ever perceive distance in taste? I know some people taste colors, etc. but I noticed that I taste depths and heights. I find myself often saying something is "deep" or "on the surface" or has "high" notes. It's like taking a VR walk through the taste, I guess, or it feels a little bit like that. Hmmm.
I hadn't really thought about it, but I do! Some teas are cozy like being in a small warm room surrounded by loved ones, or remind me of walking through a forest, or feeling the sun and wind on your face under a cloudless blue sky. Sometimes when I say depth I really mean complexity, but sometimes it really a feeling like a shallow lake vs a deep one.
Absolutely; I find I often perceive 'layers' of flavour as depth (top notes, body notes, base/support notes as well). Often I'll use descriptors like "round flavour" to talk about something enjoyable or "flat" for something plain or less than stellar. I LOVE poetic language in regards to tea tasting (and most things in life) because it's a really great way not to just convey the taste of a tea but the experience of drinking it.

Help on tank redesign
Hey! I decided it was time for a redo on my Edge. I had lots of plants and was tired of it looking like there was too much stuffed into a small box. I decided to open it up a lot, break my rocks up, and try a carpeted look. I haven't got the plants for my carpet in yet, I'm going with either glosso or m. minuta depending on what grows better.
Anyways I'm trying to get the rocks placed better and was looking for some advice! I've got plenty of java fern and a tiny anubia growing on them and should fill in better w/ co2.
Any feedback and advice would be appreciated!
The rocks are too small. You can stack them up to the left ot right.
I agree with MARIMOBALL, they are too small. Look to get a large sized rock, medium sized rocks, and small sized rocks. Use the largest rock as your focal point and use the rule of thirds to your advantage.
Hmm.. okay I see what you're saying. Ironically my last design had two big rocks and it made the tank feel small so I broke them up into these guys. I'm going to make a pile a little right of center and then cover it with ferns so it looks like one big rock.
I'm going to avoid having it symmetrical as it is now too.
Any other suggestions I would love to hear them! I've been doing some reading on aquascaping, but its proving challenging to actually apply it to my own tank.

We consider combinatorial maps with fixed combinatorial knot numbered with augmenting numeration called normalized knot. We show that knot's normalization doesn't affect combinatorial map what concerns its generality. Knot's normalization leads to more concise numeration of corners in maps, e.g., odd or even corners allow easy to follow distinguished cycles in map caused by the fixation of the knot. Knot's normalization may be applied to edge structuring knot too. If both are normalized then one is fully and other partially normalized mutually.

The Blend
No fewer than 50 individual wines make up this cuvée. The traditional proportions for Demi Sec are: 40 to 45% Pinot Noir, 30 to 35% Meunier, 20 to 25 % Chardonnay.
The inclusion of 20 to 30% of reserve wines ensures the consistency of the Veuve Clicquot style.
These wines are kept separate, each one cellared individually, as befits its origin and age.
The level of dosage - 45g/l decided at the moment of disgorgement - results in a sweeter balance of flavours, while preserving the wine's inherent freshness.

A Guide to Orientation, Recruitment, and Retention
Hospitals can easily fall prey to the urgency to "push" nurses through orientation. However, research shows that nurses who have a solid understanding of the fundamentals, a clinical preceptorship, and a firm grasp on policy and procedure, are better investments in the health and welfare of our patients.
The Perioperative Orientation Resource Guide provides an overview of each tool that streamlines the process for educators and managers to apply the AORN's orientation guidelines. The guide builds on the scope of the successful Periop 101 course and establishes a baseline for competency development and assessment. Perioperative orientation resources offers resources to develop recruitment, orientation, preceptor selection, and retention strategies in your facility.
Download the supporting resources:
Recruitment Strategies
This section discusses strategies to facilitate the recruitment process and hiring incentive programs, and tactics for promoting perioperative nursing as nursing schools.
Orientation Guidelines and Required Competencies
The required competencies and suggested timelines for orienting a novice or experienced nurse into the OR environment can be used as a baseline to build your facility's program. Educators and preceptors are provided with tools that can be used to evaluate the orientee's needs upon arrival in the OR.
Preceptor Selection
Selecting the right preceptor is just as important as selecting the right perioperative nurse candidate. This section includes a detailed preceptor development checklist, behavior-based interview questions for preceptor selection, and guidelines for ongoing preceptor development and performance evaluations.
Retention Strategies
As you recruit nurses, you can't lose sight of the need to retain current staff. Improving staff satisfaction and building strong teams start with assessing with work environment and seeking feedback at regular intervals.

ECB president Mario Draghi began his monthly press conference shortly after 1.30 GMT. Earlier, as expected, the ECB left rates on hold.
Follow the questions and reaction live here with capital markets editor Ralph Atkins and Emily Cadman
Eurozone official interest rates have been left unchanged by the European Central Bank. But Mr Draghi will unveil fresh economic forecasts at his press conference starting shortly in Frankfurt. As Claire Jones, our ECB correspondent, points out in her preview, the most important figure could be the forecast for inflation in 2015. With the eurozone at risk of falling into a damaging deflation, the ECB could soon come under pressure to take additional stimulus measures.
European Central Bank keeps interest rates on hold
ECB mulls further action after last month's rate cut surprise
The consensus among ECB watchers in financial markets is that Mr Draghi will not announce additional measures today – but, as last month's surprise rate cut proved, he's always good for a surprise.
A joker could be a possible announcement about publishing ECB minutes – although Claire Jones played down the chances of this happening in an earlier Money Supply post.
This is how inflation stands at the moment:
Elsewhere today, the Bank of England also held rates and voted to maintain the stock of the central bank's gilt purchases at £375bn.
The press conference is starting a little late – but only by a few minutes so far.
Maybe Mr Draghi wanted to look at the exceptionally large upward revision to US GDP figures just released?
Here he comes. Should be underway in a few minutes
Here we go… Mr Draghi confirms rates unchanged.
Mr Draghi repeats that the eurozone may experience "a prolonged period" of low inflation. Forward guidance remains in place – rates will remain at present or lower for an "extended period of time".
ECB's remains willing to consider "all available instruments," Mr Draghi reiterates. (That would appear to include quantitative easing, or negative interest rates on its deposit facility).
Unemployment in the euro area remains high, and the necessary balance sheet adjustments in the public and the private sector will continue to weigh on economic activity, says Draghi
Here come the economic forecasts. The eurozone economy is expected to grow by 1.1 per cent next year and 1.5 per cent in 2015. The 2014 forecast is slightly higher than the ECB expected in September.
The ECB is forecasting 1.4 per cent eurozone infaltion in 2013, 1.1 per cent in 2014 and at 1.3 per cent in 2015.
You can read the text of Draghi's opening remarks here
The inflation forecasts for this year and next are down 0.1 percentage points and 0.2 points.
This is the first time the ECB has forecast inflation for 2015. At 1.3 per cent, inflation would still be significantly below the ECB's target of an annual rate "below but close" to 2 per cent. By itself, that would justify fresh ECB action.
"Our forward guidance" is working, says Mr Draghi
Mr Draghi is listing all the eurozone bond yields that have fallen….as a result of the ECB. "All this without [looking at] the equity markets."
"We're seeing positive developments both before and since our November decision"
"All this happens in a situation in which inflation expectations remained firmly anchored." He also points out that inflation excluding food and energy is going to "drift slightly higher" over the forecast horizon.
The euro has fallen against the dollar in the wake of inflation revisions
More on why the ECB has not acted today: Mr Draghi warns it would be a mistake to expect a quick reaction from the ECB's previous actions.
"It needs time to fully produce effects".
From our eurozone economics correspondent
Apologies for the interruption to this service, our link to the ECB crashed. Catching up fast….
A dose of scepticism from Mr Draghi about the effectiveness of further stimulus measures.
"Economies have to be prepared structurally to produce effects in a sustainable way," he warns.
In other words, you can't just create more debt.
The ECB is watching the exchange rate, but Mr Draghi warns listeners to "keep in mind it is not a policy target".
Now we're off on a tour of the eurozone. Mr Draghi praises "very significant" progress made by Portugal.
Mr Draghi is stressing that the ECB has a "powerful artillery" but emphasises the governing council has not reflected on which instrument it would use in which circumstance. "It is too early to speculate".
His message is that the interest rate cut last month is still having effects – as is the ECB's forward guidance.
As expected, there's been no announcement on publishing minutes – see Will the ECB's minutes overrun? for background.
The situation in the eurozone is "quite different" to Japan in the 1990s.
"We have taken decisive monetary policy measures."
He also points to the ECB's asset quality review of eurozone banks – making the point is that the eurozone is working faster to fix the banking system than Japan did. "This action has already started."
Another reason why the eurozone is not Japan in the 1990s.
"Countries in the euro area have made significant progress in addressing structural weaknesses."
A question on the impact on the eurozone of US Fed tapering: Mr Draghi notes impact of the turmoil in US treasuries in May was "quite limited," especially compared with the impact on emerging markets.
Not everyone is happy with no-action decision, this is from Aberdeen Asset Management fixed income investment manager Patrick O'Donnell:
"The market could be quite disappointed in Draghi. Anticipation was growing that he could be prepared to take more aggressive policy action to fight disinflationary forces. While he's keeping all options on the table, the market might interpret this reactive rather than proactive stance as a worrying return to form for the ECB."
Mr Draghi says he'd rather talk about the ECB's "array" of instruments, rather than its "artillery," which he says is "militaristic language."
But the euro has recovered most of its losses against the dollar:
That's it. Mr Draghi has finished taking questions. His main message was that the effects of actions taken so far by the ECB were still working through. But the ECB stood ready to do more if justified in the future – without going into any details of which instruments it might use, now interest rates are almost at zero.
He also released economic forecasts showing the ECB had become slightly more optimistic about eurozone growth next year, but expected an inflation rate of just 1.3 per cent in 2015.
He set out at some length why the eurozone would not fall into a damaging deflation spiral as seen in Japan since the 1990s.

The best ways to Prepare for a Visit to the Veterinarian
We are sure that you have expectations people when you pertain to go to. Naturally you would like our hospital to be a safe and friendly environment. You expect a clean facility and individual interest. Our customers in Washington County wish to receive the highest quality care and have their animals treated making use of cutting-edge medical methods. Did you understand, however, that we have expectations of you as well?Use the following information as a list to get ready for your next go to.
Provide proper restraint for your family pet.
All family pets ought to be properly restrained. Canines and cats ought to show up in a carrier or with a well-fitted leash and harness/collar. Pocket animals must be in some type of enclosed carrier. The waiting space at the veterinarian's workplace can be a difficult location for any pet, as well as the best-behaved animal can act differently than regular.
Watch this video about find a veterinarian in Fredericktown PA here:
Understand your family pet's habits.
If your animal has a history of being aggressive or extremely enthusiastic with other family pets or individuals, let the personnel understand immediately. They may be able to move you to an examination room rapidly so that you can avoid undesirable interaction. Pay attention to how your family pet is acting, and remember that not all family pets value being approached by other animals. Please also inform the staff if your family pet does refrain from doing well for a specific treatment or scenario. We wish to make your go to as hassle-free as possible
Bring essential medical records together with you.
It is essential that we know when your animal was last vaccinated, what medications it is taking, and what types of medical problems have been dealt with in the past. It is often simplest to keep a three-ring binder with this details in it, especially if you have changed veterinary medical facilities.
Be prepared to explain your pet's symptoms.
You would be surprised how many times family pets arrive with a handler who has no details about exactly what is happening with the animal! It is important that we understand this information so that we can accurately and efficiently treat your animal. Make sure that the individual going to the appointment knows what signs are happening, what and how much the pet is consuming, exactly what the animal's bathroom routines have actually been like, and any current modifications in the family pet's environment or regimen. The more info that we have, the faster (and cost-effectively!) we can get to a diagnosis.
Pay arrangements before your go to.
Pet Emergency Tips
It would be great to prevent emergencies. Below is a list of numerous things that YOU can do to decrease the variety of mishaps:
-Ensure that your family pet is properly vaccinated for the illness present in for this area. Serious and dangerous illness like distemper, rabies and feline leukemia are rare in appropriately vaccinated animals. Do not over-vaccinate as this can be hazardous to your pet's immune system.
-Feed your pet the correct amount of a good diet plan that contains high quality components and make sure it has a lot of fresh water at all times. Feeding high quality of food and determined quantity based on your family pet's ideal weight, one can decrease the risk of diabetes, feline urinary illness, high cholesterol, and heart disease, along with reinforce your animal's immune system against invasion by bacteria and cancer cells.
-Keep the household trash far from your animal. Dsipose harmful containers as directed. Ingestion of antifreeze, bug and weed killers, snail bait, meat bones (particularly chicken, turkey, and pork) can be expensive for you and agonizing and harmful for your pet. Keep prescription drugs in a location not easily accessible to animals or children and keep them in their right bottles with the covers fastened.
-Embellish your Christmas tree without tinsel if you have felines or small pups. The tinsel can be inadvertently swallowed by cats who are drawn in to its sparkle which can lead to severe digestive disease and a need for emergency situation surgery.
-Keep your family pets in a fenced yard and always utilize a leash, harness, or carrier when transporting or exercising your animal. Dogs and felines are hardly ever struck by a vehicle while securely in their own yard or while managed on a leash.
-Avoid usage of snail bait and rodent toxins and if you must use them, put them where no animals can contact them.
In an emergency, please consult with your vet in Washington County. A bed sheet can be utilized to pick up terribly harmed animal. Secure yourself from being mistakenly being bitten by an uncomfortable family pet. Your pet in discomfort might aim to bite so it might be best to cover the head or use a gauze strip to muzzle your pet dog.

Two kinds of strangler fig grow along Ourimbah Creek: the small-leafed fig Ficus obliqua that grows on rocks and trees, and the rusty fig F. rubiginosa that is more usually confined to rocks. They are characteristic of subtropical rainforest. The problem is how to get them to regenerate into the big trees that support epiphytic orchids, ferns and interlacing lianas - how to revive their key role that they once had here as an ecosystem of mutually-dependent species.
Fig trees take a human lifetime to regenerate naturally, because they have to start life as seedlings high up in the canopy, often germinating in the debris accumulated by elkhorn ferns. Then it takes many years for their roots to creep down the trunk of the host tree to ground level. Only then can they start growing quickly, with their roots in the ground and their leaves collecting light high up in the canopy. However, we can speed things up.
The surviving trees that in our valley produce thousands of fruit, each one with hundreds of seeds. Possums love to eat these fruit. So, to harvest the seed, we just need to sweep up their droppings from under a mature tree. The droppings are not smelly, and consist mostly of fig seeds, nicely cleaned by the possum digestive system so that they are ready for sowing.
Raising fig seedlings is easy. Just sow them on the surface of seed compost and supply them with plenty of water and fertiliser. It will soon become apparent that their roots show a marked tendency to grow downwards, often attaching themselves to supports in much the same way as do the roots of epiphytic orchids. But, like orchids, they need a humid atmosphere so that these aerial roots are protected from drying out.
Growing figs on poles. In nature, the tiny fig seed germinates high up, where it can get all the light that it needs. You can imitate that in the nursery by tying the seedling to the top of a pole and training the roots downwards.
Here, fig seedlings have been tied to hardwood stakes and their roots protected with elkhorn fern, Platycerium bifurcatum. While growing like this they make a living screen for a balcony. The long roots are accommodated in pots at the base but, before they reach the pots, daily watering is needed.
Strangler fig seedlings usually germinate in trees. The one pictured below germinated in the rotten base of a branch which had broken from a Sydney blue gum (Eucalyptus saligna) about 20 m up. After existing several years as an epiphyte, it sent out aerial roots that eventually reached the ground. Once that happened, the seedling grew many more roots that encircled the tree. Already, these roots have begun to join up and will eventually form a solid trunk around the original tree. The stage shown here may be thirty or so years after the original seed germinated.
Years into the future, this fig tree will have a huge canopy that will be host to many other plants and animals. Not a tree for the average back garden, perhaps, but a great home for native fauna.
The main thing to bear in mind when strangler figs are grown in a nursery is that their long naked roots are vulnerable to drying out. However, if they are protected and surrounded by a humid atmosphere, these aerial roots keep growing steadily downwards. The longer they are allowed grow, the higher up in a host tree the plant can be attached. That enables the lower ends of the roots to access moisture and nutrients in the ground, and the plant can grow rapidly. Once they attain this stage, with roots in the ground, strangler figs are remarkably resistant to drought.
Here's a fig that was grown on a pole while gently coaxing its roots downwards. Drip irrigation with dilute hydroponic solution helped to keep the growing roots moist while supplying the nutrients needed for growth. The 2-part solution manufactured for growing hydroponic strawberries works well for this.
The photo was taken (November 2012) after attaching the plant to the trunk of Maiden's wattle (Acacia maidenii) and planting the lower root ball in a pile of leaf mulch. By 2015, fig roots were growing around the supporting tree. How will it look in 10 year's time?

4 Ways to Be a Better Advocate for Yourself and Your Students
Before I started teaching, I rarely had to ask for help. I worked hard and researched answers when I came across a challenge, but never in my life have I even felt quite like I was drowning and didn't even begin to know where to turn. I dislike asking for help and would much rather pretend like everything is okay and try to deal with the difficulties on my own, trying not to burden others with the issues I was having in my classroom and my inability to deal with them. However, instead of successfully taking these problems on, I felt very small, like I was on my own island.

why is it needed to balance a chemical equation
It isn't absolutely necessary that a chemical equation be balanced; however, if one wants to do any calculations (stoichiometry, percent yield, volume of a gas produced, solubility product problems, equilibrium constant problems, etc) then it is necessary that an equation be balanced. Trying to work a problem in which the number of atoms we start with is different from the number of atoms we end up with is not logical; therefore, we balance the equation so that we have equal numbers of each atom on both sides of the equation.

In my college town of Campbellsville, where I'm a current senior (2004-2005), we have a half burger joint/half gun store. A big wooden Indian sits on the front porch of the "Big Chief's." Inside the little hole in the wall on the left is the burger bar, on the right are the gun racks. There's a dead rattlesnake encased in glass, pictures of other rattlesnakes the owner has owned, and a live rooster used for breeding in the back. He was crowing the entire time we were there.[Kenny Rager, 02/16/2005]

I just read an article called "Passion of a Chef" and I feel that it is something I must develop. I caution this sentiment by saying I would much rather develop a love for cooking than jump headfirst into something I feel mediocre about. I would like to enjoy a descent pay and am desirous of working toward that. Working the line, as described in the article, is enthralling and fills me with anxiety. It provokes a sense of what I must look forward to.
I am currently reading Vileisis' Kitchen Literacy. I can't wait to participate in forums, learn from the skilled and share what I am learning and know.

I'm in favor of gun control -- I think every citizen should have control of a gun.

You will have to check it out but it has been posted that in some places it's 10 acres. Here in Texas I don't think there is a minimum but it has to be unincorporated (no city taxes) and safe for the neighbors (50 yards in the hunting booklet)
Not sure about your area but in Johnston County near me there has been an ongoing battle with some homeowners over shooting on ones property.

Hóka-héy! Crazy Horse
Msgt/ret brings up a good point. I have property within walking distance of my home where I can legally and safely shoot, but I don't because it abuts our subdivision. The noise would freak people out.
Again, it would be perfectly legal for me to shoot there, but I chose not to out of courtesy.

Back in the '60s, I used to shoot squirrels in my backyard in Charlotte, NC. We were outside city limits at the time, and no one ever called the police. These days? Who knows. All I can suggest is check state statutes and local ordinances. Prudence and common sense are called for regardless.

It'd be great to be able to shoot on your own property! One day.
Best bet would be to contact the sheriffs office in that county and ask. I've had great responses from them in several areas here in NC. They can tell you if there are any concerns in the area and if they've had any problems in the past for that area.

Check NC revised code. In Ohio, a firearm cannot be discharged within 150 yards of a dwelling. In Indiana, it's a 100 yards. A (very) quick search turns up 500 feet in NC, and that's state not local. Google Earth (the app) has a ruler feature I used to map out a small range on a tight little 19-acre property.
I can't help with an answer, but I hope to be in the same hunt one day.
Shooting on your own land -
The stupidity of some people NEVER ceases to amaze me.
Something cool about Florida (or bad I guess depending on who is commenting on it) is that we can shoot on our land, no matter how small, as long as the projectile doesn't leave our property... and that it's done safely. (backstop) Plus we don't have differing city/county etc... laws anymore. One set of gun laws for the whole state.
(sorry I can't help you with NC)
So the way I understand this is that I can shoot my 22 and 9mm in my backyard, even though I only have a 1/8 acre and a zero lot line?

Love them or hate them, the Live Tiles of Windows Phone offer a unique and functional interface for users. The widgets in Android do as well, but not all Android apps get to be a widget, whereas Microsoft is opening up the environment to encourage developers to bring a real-time effect to their apps and take advantage of what a live tile might offer. Whatever your preference, both platforms offer a top layer functionality that iOS does not.
As Apple pursues the development of the next version of iOS and whatever it may bring to the user experience, imagine what that experience would look like if Live Tiles met widgets in iOS. Max Rudberg is a visual and user interface designer. He took the idea of widgets and tiles and incorporated them in a concept for iOS.
The concept looks pretty nice overall. It would be interesting if Apple were to adopt an idea like this, as Microsoft and others would be sure to notice while contending with a lawsuit over Live Tiles.

The amazing thing is, I have the natural gas furnace turned off. I have the furnace fan running 24/7. The Keystoker DV90 is keeping the place a nice 80. The outside temps are a nice 17 with wind speeds of up to 20mph out of the NW, lake effect snow of two feet since New Years eve. I have a Harman insert ready to go if needed, but I wanted to just crack one window open if need be, not all of them, lol.
I know that things like this only come along once in a life time, maybe. I'm going to enjoy this as long as I can since nothing last forever. If anyone wants to come out and visit I have a bed room, full bath, and sitting area upstairs just doing nothing. Chicago is an hour away, Notre Dame is about 15min's., Lake Michigan is about 30 min's.
Oh and yes the humidifier is running full boar and staying at about 35 percent, guess it's because of all the woodwork in the house.

Woodbine subway station, which is two years shy of the half century mark, will be seeing a major overhaul in the coming years.
Construction on elevators to make the station fully accessible, along with a second exit on the west side of Woodbine Avenue, is set to begin in the coming weeks. Other improvements will include automatic sliding doors to both the street and bus platform, improved signage and a slight face lift to the exterior.
A pre-construction open house on Jan. 27 offered a detailed look at the plan to the public.
The station will stay open for the duration of construction. Disruption should be expected during the major project, but TTC officials are promising to make every effort to minimize the impact on neighbours and local commuters.
Two properties were purchased by the TTC – 998 Woodbine, at the northwest corner of Strathmore, will be the location of the second exit, while 996 Woodbine, on the southwest corner, will house a construction office. An excavation pit will be located in the backyard of 996.
During the first two-year phase of the project one lane of Strathmore will be closed. Starting in the second phase, set to begin in late 2015, both Woodbine bus routes will board on Strathmore, while the bus loop is repaved.
The anticipated completion date for the project is summer 2017. For more information, search Woodbine station at ttc.ca.

Newsweek granted anonymity to White House aides praising Bush
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Notwithstanding Newsweek guidelines on the use of anonymous sources, a December 19 piece in the magazine featured four different quotes and statements attributed to anonymous White House aides or friends of the president praising or defending him.
An article in the December 19 edition of Newsweek by assistant managing editor Evan Thomas and senior White House correspondent Richard Wolffe featured numerous quotes and statements attributed to anonymous White House aides praising and defending President Bush. The piece is often critical -- the authors wrote, "Bush may be the most isolated president in modern history" -- but they quoted unnamed Bush aides and "White House officials" four times defending the president's policies and praising Bush's sense of humor.
Amid the controversy caused by Newsweek's retraction in May of an anonymously sourced story on alleged instances of Quran abuse at U.S. terrorist detention facilities, Newsweek published "A Letter to Our Readers" by chairman and editor-in-chief Richard M. Smith in its May 30 issue, in which Smith articulated new guidelines for the magazine's use of unnamed sources:
We will raise the standards for the use of anonymous sources throughout the magazine. Historically, unnamed sources have helped to break or advance stories of great national importance, but overuse can lead to distrust among readers and carelessness among journalists. As always, the burden of proof should lie with the reporters and their editors to show why a promise of anonymity serves the reader. From now on, only the editor or the managing editor, or other top editors they specifically appoint, will have the authority to sign off on the use of an anonymous source.
We will step up our commitment to help the reader understand the nature of a confidential source's access to information and his or her reasons for demanding anonymity. As they often are now, the name and position of such a source will be shared upon request with a designated top editor. Our goal is to ensure that we have properly assessed, on a confidential basis, the source's credibility and motives before publishing and to make sure that we characterize the source appropriately. The cryptic phrase "sources said" will never again be the sole attribution for a story in NEWSWEEK.
Notwithstanding these guidelines, Thomas and Wolffe only repeated their sources' purported reasons for requiring anonymity. The writers made no further effort to explain "why a promise of anonymity serves the reader."
Thomas and Wolffe granted anonymity to a "White House aide" who attacked Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA) as "a lost cause" in response to Murtha's call for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq. The aide also defended the president and "dismissed the notion that Bush is isolated or out of touch." According to the article, the aide "refused to be identified for fear of antagonizing the president":
A White House aide, who like virtually all White House officials (in this story and in general) refused to be identified for fear of antagonizing the president, says that Murtha was a lost cause anyway and dismisses the notion that Bush is isolated or out of touch. Still, the complaints don't just come from Democrats: Sen. Richard Lugar [IN], Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, pointedly told reporters that Bush needs to "have much more of a cadre of people in both houses, from both parties" visiting the White House "very frequently." Lugar cited Bill Clinton as the model.
Thomas and Wolffe went on to quote "White House officials" and "one of [Bush's] closest friends" anonymously praising the president:
White House officials, as well as one of his closest friends (also speaking anonymously so as not to complicate relations with the president), say that Bush remains sure that he is on the proper course in Iraq and that ultimately he will be vindicated by history. The president may be right. The Iraqi elections next week could produce a government that survives the insurgency and establishes the first (albeit shaky and not quite Western style) democracy in an Arab state -- even if that looks like a long haul by today's light. With an improving economy, Bush's popularity could well rebound. Washington pendulums always swing; Bush's polls appear to have bottomed out and are rising, at least slightly.
Thomas and Wolffe later disguised the identity of a presidential aide defending Bush's "historic mission" to reform Social Security:
What Bush actually hears and takes in, however, is not clear. And whether his advisers are quite as frank as they claim to be with the president is also questionable. Take Social Security, for example. One House Republican, who asked not to be identified for fear of offending the White House, recalls a summertime meeting with congressmen in the Roosevelt Room at which Bush enthusiastically talked up his Social Security reform plan. But the plan was already dead -- as everyone except the president had acknowledged. Bush seemed to have no idea. "I got the sense that his staff was not telling him the bad news," says the lawmaker. "This was not a case of him thinking positive. He just didn't have any idea of the political realities there. It was like he wasn't briefed at all." (Bush was not clueless, says an aide, but pushing his historic mission.)
Thomas and Wolffe then anonymously quoted a Bush aide praising the president's use of humor as "a tool and sometimes a weapon":
Bush, too, can be funny; his humor is Preppy Putdown, not gentle and corny, if sometimes off-color, like [Ronald] Reagan's. "It's the difference between Eureka and Yale," says an old Reagan hand. It's also a matter of condence [sic]. Reagan knew he was the best entertainer in the room. To be sure, Bush can be self-deprecating. Joking about his Council on Foreign Relations speech, Bush suggested to his speechwriters that, as a gag, he should hold up a copy of Foreign Affairs, the council's worthy, dry publication, and say, "I tried to read it once but the print was too small and there weren't enough pictures." (Bush decided against using the quip, considering the speech too much of a serious event.) But humor is a tool and sometimes a weapon for Bush. "He uses humor to disarm people and get a read on them," said a senior aide who wouldn't be identified talking about his boss. "You can tell a lot about a person in how they react to a joke."
At no point did Thomas and Wolffe explain why sources who were praising and defending the president feared his knowing who they were. Neither did they explain how readers were served by having praise of Bush from subordinates and friends conveyed anonymously.
The article also featured a number of anonymous quotes from staffers of Republican members of Congress and prior administrations criticizing Bush and his subordinates.

I'd get the 27. If you want more rounds for home defense buy a magazine for a Glock 22 to keep in it when its on the nightstand.
This is a discussion on another glock 27 vs. 23 debate within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; i know this has been discussed time and time out, but here's my personal debate..... I want to get a glock in a .40, i've ...
i know this has been discussed time and time out, but here's my personal debate.....
I want to get a glock in a .40, i've shot both the 27 and the 23. shot both very well. The 27 i shot had a magazine extension on it and i shot it well with it and without it.
I guess the real problem is I live in Illinois... i know.... we're still waiting and praying for the day of CC.
But I want to have this gun primarily for home use, for now. But down the road either live in a state that has CC or hopefully Illinois will pass it sometime.
I just want to hear some opinions on the best route I should go.
I have a 12 gauge, .380, and .22 pistol but want a dependable good handgun that's of larger caliber. And i have always wanted a glock so I've finally narrowed it to these 2.
Any opinions or comments are appreciated.
P.S. I forgot to mention that I have a guy that wants to sell me a glock 27 with less that 100 rds through it, with night sights and 2 mags with extensions and extended controls for $500. So that's why I'm leaning towards the glock 27.

I had the 23, and I have the 19. If it is going to be for home use primarily, I'd definitely get the 23. it is large enough to be comfortable but small enough that it will be easily concealable, if that time ever comes. Besides, the 27 with the pinky rest is almost the same size in the grip length as the 23. Might as well get 3 more rounds and a little more velocity and sight radius too.
Bend the knees, smooth is fast, watch the front sight.

That's a really good deal. I think you should jump all over that.
I always aim for the right eye...and I never miss - Goldeneye
I had both a 27 and 23. If you shot both I would go with which one you were the most confident with. If you like both go with the 27 as it sounds like a very good deal.
Expecting a carjacker or rapist or drug pusher to care that his possession or use of a gun is unlawful is like expecting a terrorist to care that his car bomb is taking up two parking spaces.-Joseph T. Chew
If you are going to put a mag extension on the 27, may as well get the 23, as the grip length will then be a about the same.
I would also pick the 23 for your circumstances. I conceal a 19 all day, and I'm 5'8" 140. If I can do it, anybody can.
I've owned/carried both extensively and I would get the G23. After you've added the grip extension you've basically got a short barreled G23 anyway.
When, hopefully, you are able to carry it the G23 is no harder to conceal than the G27.
I would get the smaller gun, as you can put a 23 mag into it with this:
That way you can have the more versatile gun, small when you want it small, but can still take the larger mags. Can't cut down the grip on a G-23.
Honestly, once you get one, you will end up getting the other anyways. Then you can get some 9mm, and .357 sig conversion barrels.....the options are endless.
Currently toting a 19 but I prefer the 27 over the 23 when it comes to .40 SW. No logical explanation, I just liked the way the butt of the grip tucked into the bottom of my palm. I've owned 2 23s and 2 27s and carried a 27 daily for about 8 years. Btw, decent deal on that 27, I'd grab it.
Love my little G27. Love my G19 as well, and I can conceal it just as well as the G27, so.................I might go with the G23 in this case. Higher magazine capacity (if you can find the standard capacity magazines-13rds), and since you've mentioned a home defense purpose, the G23 has a rail for flashlight/laser mounting options as well. To me, the ability to mount a light on the pistol is almost essential in a family home defense environment.
I have a 23 and like it well enough. It is not a pocket (coat primarily) gun like the 27 can be. You could buy the 27 and stick a 22 magazine in it for home defense. That will give you 15 standard (and 17 optional) rounds. They are both great guns. I have considered getting the 27 as an easier carry piece, as well as keeping the 23 where wearing it under my coat keeps it concealed. Neither gun is a deep concealment weapon but the 27 comes closest.
I love my 27.
Why Ike, whatever do you mean? Maybe poker's just not your game Ike. I know! Let's have a spelling contest!
Get the great deal on the 27...then save the $$$ and get the 23 too.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
If it is mainly for home use go with the G23 - then you can conceal with it if that time comes. A G22 would work for home use - also a .40 cal

I read into biofuelds for a bit. Celebrate the day even further…The National Wildlife Federation recently finished a send-a-letter-to-the-EPA widget and Facebook application that sends an official message to the Environmental Protection Agency urging them to recognize the impact greenhouse gases are having on our planet. We're trying to drum-up up some support for their cause. If you're so inclined, we'd appreciate a link to either application or simply spread the word! Thanks so much!

Biofuels are definately the wave of the future. Biodiesel essentially requires no vehcile conversion as long as the oil is filtered and proper chemicals are added to the oil prior to using it. You can make it at home, design your own fuel station or purchase one already designed. The cost is relatively low and could be as little as $1.00 per gallon. I heard of one gentleman who said he made his for about $.91 cents per gallon. I don't understand why there isn't a lot more publicity about biofuel. Of course in California the air board has a law prohibiting California from converting to fuel flex technology. The scoop is that Ford Motor Company has the exclusive contract for this technology.

Hi Denise,
Could you give us more details of the Ford Scoop?

Low Voltage = Low Bills?
The trend is for spot lights, lots of them.
Running on lower voltage (50v) means they draw lower current. Correct?
Then a 20w spot is cheaper to run than a normal 20w bulb. Would that be 4/5 times cheaper or watt? Parden the pun.
Not exactly, that is why the power company uses 14,000 volts. Usually its higher volts= lower current.
20 watts is 20 watts it doesn't matter what voltage it's at.
Low voltage lights have the additional disadvantage of inefficiency in the transformer/power supply, plus also it's harder to design low voltage bulbs that are as efficient and last as long.
20 watts at 50 volts is 400 milliamps. 20 watts at 120 volts is 160 milliamps. Do you understand now?
Sort of. thinking back to my college days:001_unsure:
I guess pot lights are out as I don't trust the person under it to switch off when not in the room.
The only way it'll be cheaper is if you use 120v bulbs at 50v, then they do use less power. But if you use a 50v bulb at 50v then it uses its normal wattage.
Use 120V LED lights if you want to save on your electric bill...

Calcutta, Jan. 28: A state government department decided to question 92 employees who took a day's leave to fill the missing link in a five-day chain of holidays but put the showcause notice on hold for fear of a backlash from a Trinamul-backed union, sources said.
Leave on January 24 meant a five-day break because January 23 was Netaji's birthday, January 25 was Milad un-Nabi, January 26 was Republic Day and January 27 was a Sunday.
In the land and land reforms department under chief minister Mamata Banerjee, 92 of 350 employees took leave on January 24 ' not an uncommon strategy that complements the work culture the new government had vowed to change.
The absence of a large number of employees had drawn the attention of senior officials and instructions were issued to the joint secretaries to seek explanation from those who took leave.
Sources in the department told The Telegraph that the file had moved from the desk of the secretary of the department, Debasish Bandopadhyay, to the administrative section this afternoon.
"Within a few hours, the notice had been put on hold as murmurs of discontent grew in the corridors of Writers' Buildings," said a senior land department official, explaining how a rare disciplinary move was aborted mid-way.
Bandopadhyay, who had issued the order initially, said: "I won't comment on this."
All officials of the department declined to speak on record. On the condition of anonymity, one official said: "The order was put on hold as R.D. Meena, the principal secretary of the department, directed to hold it for a few days till his return from Delhi."
Asked, Meena said: "I am busy in a meeting in Delhi. I won't be able to talk."
Another official said: "While some people may have missed office for genuine reasons, there is little doubt that a majority had taken leave to enjoy a long weekend, which started on January 23."
The impact of the absenteeism could not be independently ascertained but officials said mass casual leave was one of the main factors that gave the state's work culture a bad name.
The chief minister had initially made it a point to address the issue. She had issued an order that no leave would be granted on bandh days, following which 85 per cent attendance was recorded in government offices on February 28 last year when the Left Front had called a general strike.
In order to improve the work culture, the chief minister had started visiting government hospitals and offices after taking charge. She had said several times that she would not allow people to report late or leave early.
"So, when we learnt about the showcause notice in the land department, we thought that the chief minister was trying to send a strong message by trying to discipline employees," an official said today.
The sources said the pause button was pushed after word spread that the notice would create severe discontent among the employees.
Following the change of guard, most employees at Writers' have become supporters of Trinamul unions. The CPM-backed co-ordination committee has been cut to size by the transfer of some of its key leaders.
"The new government may have the intention but it doesn't have the will as no one wants to antagonise employees. Besides, the panchayat elections are nearing," an official said.
Other officials pointed out that it was tough for the state to initiate any action against the absentees. All of them had already applied for casual leave on January 24 and the state had not banned any leave on that day like it had done for a few bandh days.
"But this would have sent a message to the employees as I cannot recollect any instance of employees being served a showcause notice for being absent on a particular day," said a senior official.

240 volt extension cords
i'm getting ready to buy a 80gal 5.5 hp compresser for my 65 mustang job the contractor wants a boat load to instale the 240 line i need in my shed can i get away with running a heavy extension cord to it i have a 240 outlit on the sid of the house for a welder
Doc here, :pimp:
Sure, provided: The ampacity of the Cord IS NOT exceeded by the current draw of the compressor for the length of the run in footage, AND the Plugs Mate and LOCK when connected, AND the compressor is properly grounded, And meets local code requirements.
You can probably Find a proper cord at A Contractor's Supply outlet.
Doc :pimp:
240 volt extension cord
i was thinking a 10.3 wire 30amp compressor should be 20 amp about 30' or less
What size breaker is feeding the existing outlet? And how far from the box is the outlet and shed? If youre mechanically inclined and safety-conscious, you could probably run a new line yourself.
Compressor HP ratings can be a bit erroneous. You must provide us with the motor nameplate amperage draw before we can tell you what size wire you need. More than likely the 3/conductor #10 will be adequate for the distance you mentioned though.
"Compressor HP ratings can be a bit erroneous"
That's letting them off easy!, Comical would be a more apt description. :)
Doc Here, :pimp:
746 Watts is 1 HP...or in your case 4100 watts..
P/E= about 18 amps..
BUT this is in a perfect world..That would assume the compressor was steady and not cycling (High / low Rotor load) and Does not account for startup rotor load...nor does it assume, line loss or switch gear loss..
30 Amp 8 awg for a short distance would be fine..
As was said before if the house and garage isn't too far, and you have a slot for the breaker, you can get some 1 inch conduit, Ell's, 90' Condulets, whatever is needed..rent a bender, and install a permanent location yourself without too much trouble.
Doc :pimp:
Ummm, doc, I think youre thinkin of #10 thatll carry 30 amps. For a 5 hp motor, you need to run #8 wire and use a 40 amp breaker, jon. :)
Doc here, :pimp:
No the reason I specified 8, is the wire is larger than required for the draw because of possible rotor locks, and changing conditions of the compressor, as was mentioned, Compressors are not stable load items..(less heat, more power to the load) and the 30 amp breaker to limit the amount of draw between the line and the load closer to the spike load.
Better safe than sorry..and I am assuming it's under 100 foot run ..
Doc :pimp:
Right-O, doc :thumbup: I prefer running larger than needed wiring too, instead of "just enough"...hell, my compressor is only rated at 10-12 RLA and I still ran #10 to it with a 30A breaker. Like you said, better safe than sorry. I would use #8 but with a 40A breaker cuz that 5 hp motor may draw 30 or better on startup, and a 30A breaker will weaken over time with a full load through it and eventually start tripping when the compressor starts up. ;)
10AWG conductors should be fine for 240 volt, 40 amps, single phase, copper, at a length of 30 feet. Actually 12AWG is the minimum wire size with a 3% voltage drop. Ampacity limits this to 30 amps though for RUW, T or TW insulation on the cord. If the insulation on the cable was FEP, FEPB, THHN, or XHHW then 40 amps max would work for 12AWG - the limiting factor is the insulation material, not the conductor material (the insulation would begin melting before the copper conductor).
The 10AWG conductors will only drop the voltage 1%, which is not a problem as most line voltages fluctuate way more than that on a regular basis.
If you are still interested in an extension cord, I made one for a 240V mill/drill machine - went to Lowes and bought a leftover length of AWG 10.3 and the proper plugs for each end of the cord. Total cost $28. Properly assembled, this should serve you well.
If you are going to run it outside between two buildings, the underground conduit is good advice. If you place this in a conduit, then 10AWG would be the minimum as the above is for free-air (no conduit) installations. Also, most plastic-sheathed cables should not be exposed to sunlight unless explicitly stated otherwise.

I got lost and found myself in the Nordstrom cosmetics department last week (again), and came across the recently released MAC Cremesheen + Pearl Collection for Fall 2012. This collection features 16 new (and permanent) lip shades: 8 cremesheen lipsticks and 8 cremesheen glasses. Cremesheen lipsticks are my favorite finish from MAC, so I was especially excited to check out an entire new collection of them. I came across Pink Pearl Pop: a midtone pink that was oh-so-pretty, I had to take it home with me.
Just looking at it in the tube, Pink Pearl Pop may not seem like anything special. At least, that's what I thought when I first saw it. I was ready to pass right over it until one of the counter employees came over and told me it was their favorite. They said it doesn't look too exciting in the tube, but on the lips is amazing. So I decided to have them try it on me!
While Pink Pearl Pop is described as being frosty, there really isn't any visible frostiness to this. I have a very low tolerance for frosty lipsticks, so I was happy about this. The finish is typical cremesheen: very moisturizing and flattering on the lips. However, because cremesheens are so moist, they tend to wear fewer hours than other finishes. I don't mind, because I like reapplying fresh lip products after several hours of wear anyway.
And now for a lip swatch! Unfortunately, this photo doesn't do this lipstick justice at all. In reality, this lipstick is the perfect everyday match for my slightly sun-kissed complexion. It has that flirty "girl-next-door" vibe to it: girly pink, but not so bright/heavy/overwhelming that it distracts from the rest of my appearance.
I am so glad this color is going to be permanent, because this is going to be one of those shades I'll use every last bit of. It's going to be like my NARS Turkish Delight lip gloss that goes everywhere with me. Vanity, purse, vacation, work, airport, grocery store, you name it, I'll have it on me!
MAC lipsticks retail for $15 and can be purchased wherever MAC cosmetics are sold.
Did you get anything from this collection?
xx, Allison

(11-9-12) What's it like to tend to your first terminally ill patient? To care for children living with incurable disease? How do you manage the euphoria and tension of helping a woman give birth? And when someone dies, how do you grieve?
Ask a nursing student.
As with previous classes, the BSN class of 2013 has compiled a book of essays, poems and journal entries, with the assistance of a UVa University Award for Projects in the Arts grant, to offer up some of their experiences during their four years as student nurses. BSN 4th year student Monika Criman served as editor of the book (available for $10 by contacting Criman herself) and with illustrations by Aldxa Vasiliadis, more than 35 fellow students from her class contributed.
"Every nurse remembers their first patient," writes Dean Dorrie Fontaine in the book's foreword. "Every nurse remembers their first patient who dies or the one we managed to save in a dramatic way. And in so many ways, we become the nurses we are because we're shaped by those we care for."
From childbirth to aging, cancer to chemo, nursing students see a little bit of everything. And like the health care professionals who care for patients at every stage of life and death, they are forever changed by those they meet, those they care for, those who get better -- and those who do not.
Nurses' stories are peppered with grief and triumph, compassion and empathy. Fonatine urges students to know how to care for themselves -- and how to remain resiliant -- so they may care well for others, too.
"In an airplane, those seated next to children must put on their own oxygen masks before assisting kids," she writes in the book's foreword. "If there is one thing you remember from this book beyond the stories of hilarity and pain, heavy hearts and transcendence, it's this: care best for others by remaining resilient yourself."

'NSYNCer Gets Hitched in O-Town
Lance Bass was posting photos from Chris Kirkpatrick's wedding in Orlando.
What a night!! Great to be together again for such a beautiful day. Congrats to @IamCKirkpatrick and his new bride Karly, love you bro!!— *NSYNC (@NSYNC) November 3, 2013
All the guys of 'NSYNC were either groomsmen or ushers, and Chris wanted to pay for their tuxes. They got them from Men's Warehouse & Lance thought it was funny that JT was going to be sporting one off the rack.

It wasn't reported where exactly the ceremony went down, but they did say it was a Lowe's Hotel. It was probably the Portofino at Universal Orlando thanks to this clue from Lance.

[Posted by Henry Harteveldt]
Hello again.
The global hotel industry is battling some tough times. To get a better idea of the industry's outlook for 2010 and the role you see distribution playing in your efforts, we're inviting hotel professionals to take a quick (10 minute) online survey. In exchange, we'll send you a complimentary summary of our findings after we complete gathering the data.
Who's eligible?
- You must work for a hotel organziation. We're seeking participants at the corporate or brand level, at a property, or at a management company. For this study, we're not able to accept participants from third-party intermediaries, or from other industry sectors like airlines, GDSs, rental car agencies, etc. That's why we're asking you to contact us (info below), rather than posting a link from here to take the survey.
- Your role must include a meaningful amount of responsibility for or involvement in your hotel's:
- eBusiness/eCommerce
- Distribution
- Sales/marketing
- Revenue management
- Owners, GMs, and hotel managers are also welcome to participate
The larger the base of respondents, the more useful the research will be to everyone. I sincerely hope you'll participate. There's no obligation beyond taking the survey. All survey responses will be aggregated. We keep your responses confidential, and we don't share or use your email address for any commercial activities.
To participate, please email me: hharteveldt (at) forrester dot com. Sorry for that funky way of presenting my email address; I'm just trying to avoid the email spam bots.
As always, thanks for your time.

well atm im pregnant which has made a bit of a difference with my hair..
it used to be 2c, thick and coarse, normal, slightly protein sensitive..
now its a mix between 2a-b, still coarse, medium- thick, normal to high porosity, def protein sensitive
it literally became like this
and now it looks like this..
i know, i pretty much have nothing to work with now since it won't wave at all.
but anyways back to the question.
i low poo, rinse out with tresemme naturals, dry with microfibre towel, leave in with tresemme again mixed with a bit of KCKT, then seal with a mixture of shea butter and coconut oil..
i made a second day spritz pretty much of water, the tresemme, kckt and coconut oil.. and my hair loves it.. it def does not get greasy at all, my hair loves the oils.. i pay more special attention to my ends as well.. but i really want to try a new leave in..
i think once my hair gets longer and my hormones go back to norm i might have my old hair, but i could be wrong, and it could just stay like this forever lol
"2 Something ATM"
Coarse, Medium- Thick, Normal Porosity
My Routine
Low 'Poo:
