Ship Weight:0.20 Tom's of Maine - Natural Sensitive Care Women's Deodorant Stick Fragrance-Free - 2.25 oz. (64 g) Tom's of Maine (Natural Sensitive Care Fragrance Free Women's Deodorant Stick) formulated their natural Sensitive Care Aluminum-Free Deodorant using an environmentally friendly method to extract the most effective elements from hops, which inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, and chamomile, which soothes sensitive skin. Hops inhibits the growth of bacteria and prevents odor naturally and effectively. Supercritical chamomile extract soothes sensitive skin. Dermatologist tested for sensitive skin and proven to be safe and gentle. Aluminum-free. No animal products or animal testing. Here are the things that Tom's of Maine does not put in their products:Animal ingredientsTom's of Maine's support of non-animal-testing models also includes the belief that they don't need to use animal ingredients to create effective products. Just one example: glycerin, used in toothpastes and soaps, is often made from animal ingredients, but theirs is vegetable-based. Artificial colorantsBecause Tom's does not add artificial colorants, the appearance of our products may vary from batch to batch. Artificial flavorings or scentsTom's of Maine does not use any synthetic flavors, colorants, or scents. The customers that Tom's caters to prefer the fresh, natural taste and smell of herbs, fruits, and flowers (or no scent at all!). Artificial preservatives (EDTA, formaldehyde, parabens, etc.)Natural preservatives work as well or better than artificial alternatives. For example, they use rosemary to help guard freshness in our soaps. Ethylene glycolEthylene glycol can be found in hair care products and facial/body washes as a fragrance ingredient, a solvent, and as an aid in controlling viscosity. Tom's of Maine uses water and ingredients derived from corn, coconut and palm kernel oils, and sea salt to control consistency in Tom's body washes, and natural fragrances in all of Tom's products. GlutenAside from Tom's of Maine liquid hand soap and body wash, which contain wheat protein, all other Tom's of Maine products are gluten-free. They do not use alcohol, casein or caseinate, MSG, wheat, oats, barley, rye, malt, spelt, kamut, HPP, or HVP. None of their flavor oils are grain-distilled. Tom's does not use flour of any kind in their manufacturing process for conveyor belts or for any other purpose, and their containers are not dusted with flour before filling. Grapefruit seed extractStudies have shown that natural preparations of this ingredient do not show antimicrobial activity; instead, it is commercial preparations that include synthetic antimicrobials or preservatives that show antimicrobial activity due to those artificial ingredients. Tom's instead uses hops for their natural antimicrobial action in their deodorants. (Armando, C., Maythe, S., Beatriz, N. P. Antioxidant activity of grapefruit seed extract on vegetable oils. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture 1997 Dec:77(4):463-467.) ParabensParabens are used as fragrance ingredients or as preservatives. Tom's of Maine relies instead on natural preservatives and ingredients. PeroxidesTom's of Maine does not use bleach or peroxide in our whitening toothpastes; instead they use silica from sand to clean your teeth and create a whiter appearance. PhthalatesPhthalates are used to improve the performance of some personal care/cosmetic products (for example, to fix fragrance in a formula), but Tom's of Maine has all-natural sweeteners such as xylitol and rely on the naturally delicious tastes of fruits and herbs to flavor our toothpastes. TriclosanTom's of Maine relies on naturally sourced zinc instead of triclosan to fight tartar.

AMES, Iowa – A course for people living on a large lot or small acreage who are interested in producing food for their own use in a way that sustains their natural environment will be offered by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach this spring. "Homegrown Lifestyle is a course for folks who want to reconnect with the land, grow food for their families and create a sustainable landscape," said Andy Larson, ISU Extension and Outreach small farms specialist and Homegrown Lifestyle co-coordinator.
Homegrown Lifestyle, a 12-week spring short course, will be offered at a number of Iowa locations beginning March 20 and ending June 5. Weekly sessions will be held on Thursday evenings from 6–9 p.m. The webinar portion of each session will be taught by extension educators who are state experts in each topic. They will bring the science of getting started to each class. Each session also will include locally organized activities where participants will meet local resource people and learn from one another. For details on session topics and instructors go to www.homegrownlifestyle.org.
In addition to the weekly Thursday sessions, a local tour or workshop will give course participants the opportunity to experience small-scale food production and resource conservation practices first hand.
"Increasing interest in eating locally has some folks wondering how they could grow more of their own food," said Larson. "The Homegrown Lifestyle course combines basic information on a wide range of topics with practical application and local workshops for a complete educational experience appropriate to your area."
Topics covered during the course include edible landscape design; soil and water conservation; growing and preserving vegetables, fruits and wild crops; backyard poultry; beekeeping; grazing and ruminants; composting; and wildlife management. It is not a farm business planning class for commercial growers. Instead, Homegrown Lifestyle focuses on fundamental, scale-appropriate food production techniques and conservation strategies that smallholders and modern homesteaders can quickly put to use.

Morning sickness
My friend told me that her Dr. told her that if a pregnant woman did not experience any morning sickness, it means that the baby inside the womb doesn't have a heartbeat. How true is that?
6th January 2014 07:20 AM #2
Dear jellyace,
No that is not correct. Some women do not experience any morning sickness in pregnancy and have perfectly healthy pregnancies and babies. Every women's pregnancy is different and our bodies react different to hCG (the pregnancy hormone). Indeed, it is possible for a woman to have one healthy pregnancy where she experiences morning sickness and the next where she doesn't, and vice versa.
If a woman sadly has a miscarriage then she may also experience a loss of the symptoms of pregnancy such as morning sickness. However, this would not happen immediately in most cases. It is not true to say that just because a woman does not experience morning sickness there is a problem with the pregnancy.
Best wishes,

|For my honors thesis, I chose to write a short story in order to assess my abilities as a writer and to decide whether I wanted to pursue an MFA after I graduated. Ever since my first chapter book in the third grade (Little House on the Prairie), I was inspired and believed I wanted to be a writer. In this way, the thesis has been successful as it has illuminated both the limitations and advantages of my writing. It has also revealed that I do not want to make a career out of writing, but rather would prefer to write solely as a hobby. Of course, I would never have come to this conclusion if I had not experienced the writing process throughout its various stages. As an English major who has spent several years analyzing what makes good literature, it was difficult to lay all of that aside when writing my own story. I would compare my work to that of my favorite writers—William Faulkner, Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe, and Flannery O"Connor—and feel frustrated that I was not producing something of the same caliber. By no means was this because I felt my writing to be as good but rather I had seen what the end product should look like and strove to reach it. The discrepancy between what I envisioned and what I created was a source of intense frustration for me, and perhaps it was a limiting factor in the writing process. Because I was so focused on the outcome, I did not let my story grow organically. My characters were predetermined and so they could not develop on their own. Another limitation I encountered was my inconsistency in writing. I understood that a successful writer must practice writing on a daily basis and that was something I struggled to do. It was for this reason that I ultimately realized I did not have the discipline to make writing a career, at least not at this point in time. However, I did discover some advantages to my writing. v My ability to recognize what my story lacked allowed me to continue moving forward throughout the revision process. I understood early on the necessary elements for storytelling and so I was sure to include those elements in my story. Also, my ability to re-envision my story allowed me to approach problems in my story from different angles. I based my decision to write a short story on the rationale that one must first master the short story before one can proceed to the novel. I believe that the short story provides the best medium for practicing the elements of storytelling. Furthermore, I wanted to keep the thesis short and manageable and a collection of short stories or even a novella would have been too much for me to focus on over the course of a year. As far as the content goes, I wanted to write about something I could relate to and believe in. Initially, the story was going to explore the question of whether to have children or not, but when it came to starting my thesis, I could not decide what the answer should be. After continuing to struggle over the content, I eventually settled on writing a story based on a news article from CNN. The article was about a Texas mayor who killed her 19-year-old daughter and then killed herself. My first draft of my thesis explored this scenario and sought to find out why a mother would kill her child. Ironically, my first draft was very different from what I had first envisioned and very different from my final draft. In fact, most of my drafts were drastically different from the previous ones. I would completely rewrite sections that I felt did not work, and it was not until my sixth draft that the elements I wanted fell into place. My final draft was a byproduct of eight revisions and a year"s worth of study and research, and, overall, was successful.

I'm usually behind on celebrity gossip so I'm sure you've already heard all the hoopla about Halle Berry expecting baby number two. "So what's the big deal" is what I was thinking until I read that she is 46 years old!
Yowza sister!
But the thing I've been wondering about is, if others take issue or have any opinion about her unmarried status.
As early on as I can remember, I always pictured myself as a mother. I never had any doubts that it was a part of what I wanted and who I was suppose to be. For some time, I pictured myself with many children, living in a happy, loving relationship.
But not married. That part I could not even imagine. I also thought and felt, it didn't matter and wasn't something I needed.
Rolling Goldie Hawn – Kurt Russell style, that's what I used to say anyway.
To my own surprise, I did end up getting married. I've actually done it twice now. The first time, at the court house. The second time, in a beautiful backyard ceremony.

Head Football Coach
Bob Stitt
Bob Stitt returns for his ninth season as the head football coach at Colorado School of Mines in 2008.
During his first eight years, Stitt has guided the Orediggers to a 51-39 overall record, including a 36-29 mark in the RMAC. Stitt's .567 winning percentage is the highest by a Mines football coach who has coached in at least 20 games and the highest for a modern day coach at CSM.
Mines compiled a 6-2 mark in the RMAC (7-5 overall) and earned a berth in one of just two sanctioned NCAA Division II bowl games - the Dixie Rotary Bowl - in 2007. With their 7-5 overall record in 2007, the Orediggers secured their sixth winning season in the past seven years. The 2007 Dixie Rotary Bowl marked the second time in four years that the Colorado School of Mines football team had advanced into the post-season, and the third time in program history that the Orediggers had played in a post-season bowl game. CSM landed 14 All-RMAC selections and two All-Region picks in 2007 while six players earned recognition on the NFF's All-Colorado Teams. Furthermore, Derek Dykstra was selected to participate in the Valero Cactus Bowl (NCAA Division II football all-star game).
In 2006, the Orediggers (4-7 overall, 2-6 RMAC) had 12 All-RMAC, five All-Region and seven NFF All-Colorado selections. Michael Curl earned Honorable Mention All-American honors and Bryan Florendo, who became the first Oredigger to rush for 1,000 yards (1,018) since 1939, was selected as the Offensive Player of the Year on the NFF's All-Colorado Team.
The Orediggers' 6-5 overall record in 2005 gave CSM its fifth consecutive winning season, marking the first time that had happened in the 118-year history of the program. Mines placed 13 players on the All-RMAC teams while three earned All-Region recognition.
In 2004, Stitt led the Orediggers to the best season in school history as the team went undefeated (8-0) in conference play and captured its first RMAC title since 1958. In addition, the 2004 squad posted a perfect 11-0 mark in the regular season and advanced to the NCAA Division II playoffs for the first time in program history. In the opening round, Stitt led CSM to a 52-33 home victory over Midwestern State University. Mines was defeated in the second round of the playoffs at top-ranked Pittsburg State - the eventual national runner-up - to end its season and also snap a school-record 14-game winning streak, which was the second longest in Division II at the time. The record-setting 2004 season helped earn Stitt RMAC Coach of the Year, Division II AFCA Region 5 Coach of the Year and d2football.com Southwest Regional Coach of the Year accolades.
Furthermore, Stitt was instrumental in helping senior quarterback Chad Friehauf win the 19th Annual Harlon Hill Trophy in 2004 as the top player in NCAA Division II. Friehauf, who established an NCAA Division II single-season record for passing yards (4,646) in 2004, became the first player from CSM and the RMAC to win the Harlon Hill Trophy. A total of 18 Orediggers earned both All-RMAC and NFF All-Colorado honors in 2004, while six players brought home All-Region laurels. Three players also went on to garner All-American recognition, including Friehauf, Daniel Leger and Justin Gallas.
During his second and third seasons at Mines (2001 and 2002), Stitt guided the Orediggers to back-to-back 7-4 finishes. The seven wins in 2001, which marked the first winning season for Mines since 1991 (6-4), were the most by the Orediggers since 1958. The 2001 and 2002 seasons also marked the first time since 1975 and 1976 that the CSM football team had produced consecutive winning years.
During his tenure at CSM, Stitt has coached a grand total of 93 All-RMAC performers, 19 All-Region selections and four All-Americans.
Before coming to Colorado School of Mines, Stitt most recently served as an offensive coordinator at Harvard University, helping the Crimson set school records in total offense in a game (640 yards), passing yards in a game (405), first downs in a game (34) and points scored in an Ivy League game (63). Stitt's 1999 offense ranked first among Ivy League teams in rushing, third in scoring and fourth in total offense.
A graduate of Doane College (Nebraska), Stitt received various accolades as a running back and a return specialist - including All-State College Offensive Player of the Year in 1985 - when he played for the Tigers in the mid-80's. Stitt also played left field for the Doane baseball squad and competed in the 4x100m relay on the track & field team.
Stitt returned to coach at his alma mater after receiving his master's degree in Physical Education from the University of Northern Colorado in 1989. The offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for four years at Doane, Stitt produced three NAIA Division II All-Americans and 19 All-NIAC offensive players during his tenure. Stitt went on to coach at Austin College (Texas) from 1994 to 1999, serving as the assistant head coach and the coordinator of offense and special teams, before he moved on to Harvard.
A native of Tecumseh, Nebraska, Stitt lettered in football, basketball, track & field and baseball at Tecumseh High School. Stitt and his wife, the former Joan Scherrer, reside in Littleton with their sons, Joe and Sam.

Cerulean CRLX101 Challenges and Opportunities
Boston – at the AACR-NCI-EORTC Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics conference today we heard about CRLX101 (Cerulean Pharmaceuticals), a nanopharmaceutical in phase 2 development. The presentation highlighted the challenges and opportunities in cancer drug development.
This post is not intended to be a detailed review of the preclinical data presented, but offers a summary of the value proposition, the intended target and the insights we took away from a press briefing at the conference.
Cerulean Pharmaceuticals: Abstract B1, Synergistic activity of CRLX101, a nanopharmaceutical in phase II clinical trials, with antioangiogenic therapies mediated through Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) 1 alpha inhibition: A translational research program.
Scott Eliasof, Ph.D. VP of Research at Cerulean Pharmaceuticals presented preclinical data that showed CRLX101:
- inhibits HIF-1α in multiple tumor types
- inhibition of HIF-1α is maintained for more than one week after a single dose
- inhibits HIF-1α and prevents the stimulation of HIF-1α by anti-angiogenic drugs
- is synergistic with anti-angiogenic drugs
- inhibits cancer stem cells
Combination trials are planned or starting soon in relapsed ovarian cancer with bevacizumab and in neoadjuvant tolorectal cancer in combination with radiation (CRT). In renal cell carcinoma (RCC) efficacy has been seen even in patients progressing through prior VEGFR therapy.
Challenges: HIF-1α is not has not yet been shown to be a validated cancer drug target.
"It is not [a validated target] at this point. A lot of preclinical data suggest that HIF-1α plays an important role in a number of different pathways but since HIF-1α has really been undruggable up until now, the clinical data simply does not exist to really show that this is happening. There are also not good biomarkers yet for HIF-1α," said Eliasof.
The challenge that CRLX101 faces is to better than the current standard of care in the indications it targets. A trial in non-small cell lung cancer was stopped earlier this year. As Eliasof noted, "we decided strategically at this point in time not to purse it since we couldn't see something that was dramatically better."
Opportunities: There is scientific rationale for targeting HIF-1 alpha in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, RCC is a crowded space, haunted by the ghost of AVEO.
"Not sure if we are actually going to pursue [RCC] in the long-term at this point in time but it seemed like a really good indication to pursue proof of concept for a HIF-1α inhibitor," said Eliasof.
Whether combining CRLX101 with bevacizumab in ovarian cancer will lead to an increase in overall survival remains to be seen given the lack of success with this measure with VEGF inhibitors. It is hard to see how adding CRLX101 will shift the survival curve significantly to the right, especially in light of the AURELIA trial data for bevacizumab (Avastin) in ovarian cancer that was presented recently at ECCO 2013 in Amsterdam.
We were left with the impression that this was a "suck it and see" strategy without a clear rationale as to why resistance was occurring in ovarian cancer and whether this approach would logically help overcome it. The data presented today was not entirely convincing that this will be seen, but as Eliasof stated, "we will see" and it is of course possible that CRLX101 may lead to a survival advantage in combination with bevacizumab, but I would not bet money on it.
Today's press briefing by Cerulean Pharmaceuticals highlights the need for companies to have a solid scientific rationale and development strategy when going after novel drug development targets that so far have proved undruggable. While RCC may have some potential, the market opportunity is small.
It remains to be seen whether there are opportunities for CRLX101 in combination with other drugs, but none of the data presented today was compelling. Instead we were left with the impression of a VC funded company throwing mud to the wall in the hope that something sticks. That's not the way to approach cancer drug development.
Update: Oct 22, 2013 Is HIF-1α Ready for Prime Time?
If you are in Boston for the Molecular Targets meeting (#targets13) and have an interest in HIF-1α as a target then you may be interested in a symposium (looks like registration is free) taking place later today at Harvard Medical School. Here's a link to the meeting program and registration.

Rated 5 out of 5 by lola from best find all year! I've been looking for slippers forever and couldn't find a good fit until the Lodge Moccasins--didn't have to adjust them but they can be and they are cozy warm. I bought two pair because I like both the "thistle" and the lavender colors. I'm generally a 7M and I have a thin foot and they are perfect. Thanks j.crew!

Rated 4 out of 5 by airchickee from The fluffiest! These are super fluffy and cozy slippers. They do run a bit short though, I usually wear an 8.5-9 and ordered a 9. They are super tight on the toes, probably should have gone up a whole other size. At this point, since I've taken the tags off, I'm hoping they stretch or I may have to pass them down.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Gracie from where are the half sizes? I had jcrew slippers in 6 1/2 for two years. They were great, warm and cozy, but got old. I was looking to buy a new pair, but they don't have my size anymore. Disappointed.

Thread: John's chicken farm
John's chicken farm
John was in the egg business. He had several hundred young layers
(hens), called 'pullets', and ten roosters to fertilize them. He
kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot
and was replaced.
This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached
them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could
tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could
sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening
to the bells.
John's favorite rooster, Obama, was a very fine specimen, but this
morning he noticed Obama's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to
investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets,
bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would
run for cover.
To John's amazement, Obama had thought of a way to do it without
work, he had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak
up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.
John was so proud of Obama, he entered him in the Chicago County Fair
and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result was the judges not only awarded Obama the No Bell Piece
Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well.
Clearly Obama was a politician. Who else but a politician could
figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our
planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing
them when they weren't paying attention.

Home prices in Southern California popped to their highest level in 58 months during April while sales hit their highest level for that month in seven years, market tracker DataQuick said Tuesday.
It's another sign the recession-battered market continues to build momentum.
"This is definitely good news. The bump up in sales is probably the most significant piece of information that comes out of this," said Robert Kleinhenz, chief economist at the Kyser Center for Economic Research at the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp. "I think this is shaping up to be a good year for the L.A.-area housing market."
Last month sales in the six-county region increased 9.5 percent to 21,425 properties from 19,562 a year earlier in response to pent-up demand and investors mining the market, La Jolla-based DataQuick said. Sales also increased 4.1 percent from 20,581 in March.
Sales were the highest for the month since 27,114 sold in April 2006.
In April the median price of new and used houses and condos increased 23.1 percent to $357,000 from $290,000 a year earlier. And it was up 3.3 percent from $345,500 in March, DataQuick said.
Last month's median was the highest since June 2008, when it was $360,000.
Prices have now increased on a year-over-year basis for 13 consecutive months, and those gains have been double digit, between 10.8 percent and 23.5 percent, since this past August.
But April's median was 29.3 percent below the peak $505,000 in the spring and summer of 2007.
"This is a market that is still re-balancing. Sales of deeply discounted properties in affordable neighborhoods are way down. Activity in middle and high-end communities is on its way up," DataQuick President John Walsh said in a statement.
"Now it's catch-up time, with a healthier economy spurring more demand and rising prices tempting more people to put their homes up for sale."
Sales and prices increased from a year ago in all six Southern California Counties. DataQuick said that:
• In Los Angeles County the median home price increased 27.4 percent to $395,000 from $310 a year earlier. Sales rose 9.7 percent to 7,140 from 6,510 a year earlier.
• In San Bernardino County the median price increased 24.8 percent to $195,000 from $156,250 in April 2012. Sales increased 9.6 percent to 2,512 from 2,292 .
• Riverside County's median increased 24 percent to $248,000 from $200,000 a year earlier and sales increased 8.1 percent to 3,760 from 3,477.
This is a good sign, too, Kleinhenz said.
"The people who are getting loans now are very high-value borrowers. We are not sowing the seeds of a future housing market bust like the one that led up to the great recession."
April's report illustrates the shift taking place in the market's dynamic.
Well over half of last month's year-over-year price increase reflects rising home prices, with the balance reflecting the change in market mix to higher priced homes selling as distressed properties are flushed through the system.
Last month sales rose 35.4 percent from a year ago in the $300,000 to $800,000 price range, which would include many move-up buyers. The number of homes sold for $500,000 or more jumped 52.7 percent from one year earlier and was at the highest level in just over five and a half years. Sales of $800,000-plus homes increased 51.4 percent year-over-year.
Meanwhile, sales of homes priced under $200,000 last month declined 29.8 percent year-over-year, while sales below $300,000 dipped 21.1 percent.
Foreclosure sales, homes foreclosed on in the prior 12 months, accounted for 12.4 percent of the Southland's resale market last month, down from 28.8 percent a year earlier. April's foreclosure sales total was the lowest since 10 percent in August 2007 before the Great Recession swept over the country. In the current cycle, foreclosure resales hit a high of 56.7 percent in February 2009, DataQuick said.
Short sales, transactions where the sale price falls short of what was owed on the property, made up an estimated 17.7 percent of Southland resales last month. That was down from 24.3 percent a year earlier.
"There is still a lot of money in the move-up market and people were able to find inventory," DataQuick analyst Andrew LePage said. "There's years worth of pent-up demand for people who wanted to buy above $500,000 but they were either concerned about their jobs or the economy or the housing market. A year ago a lot of people were concerned that the market hadn't hit the bottom but they are now confident the market has stabilized."

Do you rinse your suit out after every use?
Does salt water really eat the glue on the seams?
Or is smell the only reason we rinse out frequently?
I rinse my suits thouroughly in the shower every time, but I'm starting to feel like this is overkill. My older suits which have been rarely rinsed are pretty much equal in integrity to my older suits which have been cleaned religiously. The odors are certainly different, but I dont see any cracking, splitting, or stiffness anymore than the others do.
Its a pain in the ass. I want to be like the inlanders who towel change and throw the suit in the trunk for a couple days. I am tired of dripping water throughout my house to bring my suit outside to dry. Tired of getting sand everywhere.
Such a kooky rant, but I need to know what the rest of you think.

Samsung Electronics has announced its new 8GB DDR3 module was developed using 3D chip stacking technology, which is also referred to as through silicon via (TSV).
Samsung claimed its TSV technology is a key to solving the paradox of driving lower power consumption in servers, while increasing memory capacity and improving performance.
The new 8GB RDIMM utilizing its 3D TSV technology saves up to 40% of power as compared to a conventional RDIMM, the vendor said. Also, the TSV technology allows for improvement in memory chip density that is expected to offset the decrease of memory sockets in next-generation server systems. In the face of a 30% decrease in memory slots in next-generation servers, Samsung said its TSV technology will be able to raise the DRAM density by more than 50% making it highly attractive for high-density, high-performance server systems.
Samsung also plans to apply the features of its TSV technology to 30nm-class and finer process nodes. The company expects the widespread adoption of 3D TSV technology to take place from 2012.

For current announcements, visit the SAP News Center»
SAP NEWSBYTE - SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced the next evolution for scoping, configuring and implementing enterprise technology with a simplified rapid-deployment solution experience. The company has created a set of collaborative and integrated online tools and content for scoping and rapidly deploying a range of SAP technology, from selection to go-live and beyond.
"Drawn-out IT implementations significantly hamper enterprises right out the gate so it is not surprising to see many CIOs factoring in time and complexity when choosing a technology supplier," said Tobias Ortwein, senior vice president, project services and SAP services markets, Pierre Audoin Consultants. "SAP hits this sweet spot by providing a fully packaged deployment right out the box with room for customization."
Through the simplified experience, enterprise customers can jumpstart their implementations with a fully-realized and tested, pre-assembled solution in days. A complete solution can be launched on premise or temporarily hosted in the cloud before go-live, accommodating customer requirements. SICK AG used the simplified rapid-deployment solution experience in its "SAP going global" initiative.
"A pre-assembled rapid-deployment solution gave us a very good head start for adopting the SAP solutions we needed," said Carsten Trapp, CIO and member of the Management Board, SICK AG. "Based on our requirements, we were able to get our hands on a tried, tested and well-documented solution that will now help finalizing our implementation project. This rapid-deployment solution saved as quite some time right from the beginning."
The simplified rapid-deployment solution experience from SAP involves four steps for implementing the latest IT innovations with enhanced speed, reduced risks and lower costs:
"SAP now offers one of the fastest routes for deploying new innovations in enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management powered by the SAP HANA platform," said Bernd Welz, senior vice president and global head, Solution & Knowledge Packaging, SAP. "Enterprise fears about the time, costs and uncertainty that go with implementing new technology are alleviated through an assembled-to-order IT stack that is proven and provides a solid foundation to jump-start the fine tuning, integration and data migration process."

Rocket teamed up with the Incredible Hulk to overthrow Judson Jakes, a devious mole.
They know she was called over to Judson's late to stay with Mrs. Judson.
"Just the finest, sir, that has been fought during the war," answered Judson.
He did not attend much to what Judson tried to teach him by word of mouth, but begged for book.
Judson increased his pace and the dog circled out into the desert.
Judson was the husband of Eliza, a sister of Lucius and his brothers.
"I'm a witness that it was an accident," shouted the elder Judson.

Natural Birth
Hi, I have a very low tolerance in pain and I'm afraid of giving birth due to the pain causes but would like to have natural birth over C-Section (I fear of NOT getting pregnant/having a child) crazy, right? anyway... so is this painless birth real, really painless? pardon my ignorance but this fear bothers me but i really want to have children
18th June 2014 06:33 AM #2
Hi marierose,
Thank you for your question.
It is possible to have a comfortable birth where you are in control with birthing techniques such as a Hypnobirth, Waterbirth or Calmbirth. The issue with fear in labour is that it causes the body, and the uterus, to tense up and to resist the contractions. This then means that the contractions are far more likely to be perceived as painful and a woman may feel out of control, with a longer and more difficult labour.
However, birth absolutely can be a positive experience. In particular, if a woman feels comfortable and able to relax then she can 'go within herself' and turn off the thinking side of the brain and let the subconscious side of the mind take over. If a woman has confidence that her body and her baby have been designed to birth and will naturally know what to do then she can eliminate fear from the birthing process; allowing the contractions to smoothly and effectively open up the cervix.
A c-section comes with many additional risks to mother and baby including but not exclusively: baby more likely to have breathing problems, breastfeeding likely to be more difficult to establish, risk of infection. It is a major operation and should only be performed if really necessary.
Please also have a look at the positive birth movement. Millions of women, just like you, around the world have positive, natural births all the time. There is nothing special about these women - they just believe in themselves and not the negativity surrounding birth. A course like a hypnobirthing course can help you to dispel your fears surrounding birth which have may have been building up throughout your life. Meeting up with other women at a local positive birth meetup is a great way to hear more real-life positive birth stories too.
No-one can predict the journey of their labour or tell someone else how they will feel in labour. However, being well-informed and researched and surrounding yourself in positive birth stories can make every difference. Having a doula at your birth to support you and your partner also makes it more likely that you will have the birth you hope for.
I'm so glad you asked this question here. Birth can be a wonderful experience for you. Yes, it is hard work and will most likely have intense parts to it but a positive birth is achievable. Please do ask any further specific questions about birth that you have here.
Warm wishes,

Thanks LJ! I'll look up the link you mentioned. I agree the thinking side of the brain needs to shut off
19th June 2014 06:10 AM #4
I do hope you find all the links useful and if they bring up more questions then just ask.
'Remember this, for it is as true and true gets: Your body is not a lemon. You are not a machine. The Creator is not a careless mechanic. Human female bodies have the same potential to give birth well as aardvarks, lions, rhinoceri, elephants, moose, and water buffalo. Even if it has not been your habit throughout your life so far, I recommend that you learn to think positively about your body.' Ina May Gaskin
