Just Do It!
That old slogan "Just Do It" really says it all. It doesn't matter what you do to get active, it's just important that you carve out some time for yourself to do something, anything that will get you moving. Now that it's summer, it's a great time to get active!
If you have not started a plan to increase your physical activity, I urge you to just do it. Think about the various ways you could be active for 10-minute intervals. Perhaps you could:
- take a quick walk around the block or your office
- ride your bike
- walk up a few flights of stairs
- jump rope
Maybe you haven't done those things in years, but if you used to enjoy them, it could be time to start one of these activities again.
Make an appointment with yourself in your calendar for some physical activity. You might be more likely to actually do it if it's written down. Another way to stick with it is to work out with a friend, spouse or other family member. If you're committed to doing something at a certain time with someone else, that person may be able to talk you out of skipping if you feel tempted to be a couch potato.
If you prefer to work out in a gym, pick one that is on your regular daily route. If you have to go too far out of your way, it gets easy to talk yourself out of the gym.
If the thought of working out in public makes your skin crawl, stay at home to get some exercise. Get some light weights and check out a couple of DVDs or online videos. Aerobic dancing is a great cardiovascular workout and if you try it for a few weeks, you'll find your energy level increasing. If you find a DVD or video that you really like, talk about it on the Message Boards.
Another tip is to try a variety of activities. You could walk one day, go for a bike ride later that week, play golf on Saturday and then work in the garden on Sunday. The trick is to stick with what you enjoy! If you don't like a certain activity, don't force yourself to do it – find something else that you enjoy!
Before you close this email, make that activity appointment in your calendar. Plan to do something within the next 24 hours that will get you moving more than you have in the last couple of weeks. Just do it!
I'll see you on the Message Boards! :-) Mary Ella
Don't forget: If you're in the Premium program and want help fast on the Message Boards, put "HELP NOW" in the subject line of your post. If you're looking to offer help, watch for those, "HELP NOW" posts and alert your other FFS Online buddies to offer some assistance as well.

How to deal with sibling rivalry?
I have a 3-year-old daughter, and my husband has to boys when we got married. We both knew that we will all go through several adjustments when we moved in particularly the kids. I can feel that they love one another, but I know that a rivalry is something that is most common to come between them. I also know that there are many contributing factors to sibling rivalry. But this has been going on a month or two after we started living as a family. My husband and I always try our best to make sure the kids know their importance to us, but they still keep going on with it. It is extremely exhausting that I couldn't determine when to get involved or to let them work it out on their own.
I'd really appreciate your suggestions. Thank you!

El tamaño de la habitación Había grupos grandes que hacían ruido y fiesta.
Las habitaciones de lujo, muy bonito y espacioso cuarto de baño.
Ser recibidos con champán Música en vivo en el lobby Habitación limpia y cómoda El personal era amable y profesional
Mascota era un poco alto
La habitación era espaciosa y de moda, me encantó la televisión en el espejo del baño. El personal era muy agradable y los restaurantes y bares de deportes eran excelentes. El hotel no ofrecía servicio de recogida o transporte desde el aeropuerto y los viajes hasta el hotel eran muy caros, pero es Dallas Texas.
Todo bien
Desde el aparcacoches, conserje y recepción ... todos ayudaron con ideas de qué hacer y dónde comer en la ciudad. Nuestro viaje fue increíble, con todos sus consejos, incluso nos dieron cupones y direcciones por todas partes. Nuestra vista a la ciudad fue increíble!
Was not given the room we pre-paid for. I had booked a king bed, my wife and I arrived at about 9:00pm and were given two double beds. I thought that was a pretty rookie move by the kid behind the counter, who said there were no more king beds available, despite my having pre-paid for it. Not cool.
Rooms were nice and clean. 1 out of 4 elevators were working and we all had to walk 30 flights of stairs with all of our luggage. There was no apology or compensation for anything. I understand technically issues happen but we were on the 30th floor and it had been 8 hours.. ridiculous.
The staff was extremely nice. They were very concern about my issues. I was very upset because of the third party booking but the staff was very patient, polite and accommodating. My stay was enjoyable and the room was very clean.
Staff was helpful with directions. Rooms were clean and nice. No drinks in vending machines on 3 different floors we tried. Only one snack vending machine that needs exact change on the far side of the other tower we didn't even stay in.
Amazing hospitality and service. I was suggesred to join a free awards members club for the starwood hotels at check in which allowed me a club level pass for a happy hour, complimentary breakfast and wifi. Dallas is a spread out city so it was only a short drive to downtown activities which meant uber/lyft friendly. It would have been better if it were a true walking distance but location was still really good just not great if you want to ho into extreme detail but still very satisfied.
Nothing. Upon arrival we were told that all the king bed rooms were taken which we had reserved prior to. Then we walk into the room that wasn't clean. Beer cans strewed everywhere, beds were filthy and trash all in the room. Not only that but the elevators were out of order and we had to climb 8 flights of stairs each time we left the room. Worst stay ever
The common areas were beautiful and staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. Our room, room 1913 in the South Tower resembled a cheap motel room on the outskirts of town. There were stains on the walls and on the comforter, holes in the wall, wall paper pealing from the wall... Overall status of the room was extremely poor.
Loved the pillows and how big and beatiful it was! The staff were very friendly also I didn't like that there wasn't much to do inside the hotel but it's definitely no reason not to stay there
Staff was friendly One of my families had dirty linens when they checked into their room. Another had a hole with mold on the ceiling. We had ants in our room. For the cost of the hotel I feel the rooms should be better and there should be some kind of breakfast included.
............. Someone was smoking weed on my floor because my room smelled like we had 4+ blunts going at the same time. Repeated calls to the front desk for assistance was completely useless. The only decent thing in this hotel is the bar, to drink away your anger for being stuck in this horrible hotel.
Excelente precio, ubicación y servicio
Estaba bien situado. El hotel tenía un montón de comodidades. El personal del bar no era muy bueno. No es amable. Disfrutamos de la estancia, pero no era tan agradable como otros Fairmonts donde me he alojado.
El aire acondicionado no se mantenía para poder sentirse a gusto
1. La alcachofa de la ducha empapaba el suelo del baño y la alfombra. Solicite una reparación, pero nada. 2. La comida estaba fría. Pedí sopa y me trajeron chili. Muy picante y ni siquiera pude quejarme. 3. El hotel tenía muchos clientes extraños entrando y saliendo. No es un ambiente profesional.
Parking servicio , sujeción
The beds are very comfortable and the view from the roof is amazing The bar upstairs was too expensive and didn't allow us to bring our own drinks to the pool. I wish there was some sort of breakfast provided. The little Keurig coffee machine in our room left grounds in the cup.
Cool decor, loft-like rooms with high ceilings, comfy bed. Kurig in every room for free coffee and tea. Paper thin walls - can hear noise from above, both sides of the rooms, and especially the hallway!!! I can hear clearly worded conversations from the hallway. The door to the bathroom is barn-door style, so it doesn't shut securely, doesn't lock, leaves a small gap, and can hear everything going on in there (not too awesome for friends or acquaintances who want to share a room but have loud bathroom manners).
The decor of the rooms and the style of converted warehouse to loft was very well executed. The rooftop bar also has a great view of downtown Dallas especially at night. The rooms were very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Onsite parking was also very easy considering proximity to downtown. As nice as the rooms were, we were given a 4th floor room that faced the main street through the Cedars district of Dallas; Lamar St. And that was what really put a damper on our stay. The noise of semi trucks and dump trucks going by with their loud exhaust was enough to wake you up many times during the night. There also were several potholes or bumps in the road that made the dump trucks rattle very loudly. This is not really the hotel's fault but it did sound like the trucks were coming through the room. I would think a brick building would be more sound proof. Perhaps its the old windows and some sort of acoustic film could reduce the noise a little. It is unfortunate because it really is a nice hotel, perhaps a room off the side street or rear of the hotel would be quieter. I really hope they can fix this because its a great location and well executed.
Big Rooms. Comfy Beds. Windows Open with Lots of Light. Easy Walk to Downtown. Free Shuttle to Dallas spots. Consistent Staff who knows your name. Restaurants and Bars were exactly what I needed after a long day.
Las sábanas de la cama estaban un poco sucias. Nada desagradable, pero podría haber sido mejor.
Servicio de aparcacoches era excelente y las habitaciones eran espaciosas No limpiaron nuestra habitación 2 de las 5 noches. La piscina estaba cerrada por renovaciones y no nos avisaron cuando reservamos.
Este hotel es hermoso! El personal era muy agradable y servicial.
Habitación reformada y centro fitness Las botellas loción champú eran imposible de usar. Sin instrucciones en la habitación. Me cobraron por adelantado por imprevistos
Una gran atención al detalle y los empleados eran increíbles! El bar estaba en construcción. El bar cowboy no era igual a la calidad del hotel.
Un buen gimnasio. El servicio era amable. Limpio. Hay un montón de restaurantes y bares. Hay un servicio de transporte. No hay servicios de noche y servicios adicionales.
Vine aquí para un cumpleaños, todo fue maravilloso La presión de agua en la ducha era un poco deficiente.
Las camas eran muy cómodas! No hay aparcamiento, pero usar el servicio de mensajería al servicio de aparcamiento fue rápido y fácil. Nada sin gluten disponible para el desayuno excepto frutas. Las opciones de cena sin gluten y gratis fueron geniales y deliciosas.
Ubicación fantástica. Fácil acceso. Habitación bonita y grande. Desayuno incluido.
near american airlines center the restaurant too expensive
The Ghostbar! It was hottt! People keep to themselves though. I loved the roof top pool as well but at first it's a little awkward when people are just staring at you when you first come in because it is rather small. A rude girl named Jennifer that works at the desk. She hung up on me without saying at least a thank you. I had called about revising my statement because a pending transaction was showing on my bank card and I wanted clarification. I called her back right away and told her she was very rude.
Amazingly appointed rooms, amazing decoration, posh furnishings, overall an amazing experience.
The staff knows you well and gives you a very close approach, this way they help you and lot's of times gives you good directions. Friday and Saturday the lobby becomes a Club and sometimes the sound is too loud even in the elevators.
Staff was great Several parties (wedding, birthday, etc) had way too many people in each room and in other parts of hotel. Shouldnt allow but so many people in a room....
total quiet
Service was great! I continued to have problems with my room key in the elevator.
The staff at The Joule is amazing and incredibly attentive. They upgraded us to the larger room. Someone helped us to our room with our bags. Since we had never been there, he gave us a quick tour of the room and told us all about the hotel. You can tell they are very proud of the hotel, and they should be. It is gorgeous! I have stayed at The W in downtown Dallas, and got the worst service there. The Joule is so much better in every aspect, and it doesn't cost as much.
The atmosphere
Some of the staff were a bit condescending at times. Just because I'm not wearing slacks and shoes that shimmer, doesn't mean I can't afford to stay in your hotel.
Everything was indefinably perfect. This was my first experience with a four star hotel, and I walked in with high expectations. They met and exceeded every single one. The environment is luxurious, the staff is very friendly and very accommodating. We were given a ride to our concert venue free of charge, and when no drivers were available to pick us up, the concierge did so himself (Daniel's a great guy). The cocktails in the lobby bar were unique and tasty. The store across from the lobby bar (an art book store) stocks some great additions to any coffee table. And our purchase was transported up to our room with a little note from the concierge: "Enjoy your staycation." We had only told him once that we weren't from out of town, but he remembered. We felt like royalty from check-in to check-out. I highly highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Dallas. Shower didn't have hot water. We didn't alert the staff because we found out too close to check-out. I imagine, with the quality of customer service we experienced, they would have been up really quickly to fix it.
Great service, good restaurants and bars. Well done Downtown Dallas is cool but there is a limit to what you can do there now
Cramped slow elevators
Modern decor and great amenities Not enough wash cloths...
The minute you pull up the The Joule you know this is something different. The lobby is unique and modern without being cold and industrial. At check in we were handed a glass of sparkling wine. The staff was excellent. The were very professional yet extremely friendly. Not once did I get the pretentious feeling that I sometimes get from 4 star hotels. Every staff person I came in contact with went out of their way to be helpful and made me feel like a valued guest. The room was very comfortable and the design modern. I could tell that a lot of thought went into the design; picking the fabrics, fixtures, colors, etc. I would here again in a heartbeat.
Staff was fantastic! Rooms were fun with great amenities. Small but great for a short trip. Air conditioning issues
The rooms very large and the gym was awesome. They even provided workout clothes and shoes, which I forgot to bring. The staff was very professional, except for the maid service. The maid service was lazy. The staff only cleaned the room once in three nights in spite of our repeated efforts to have it cleaned daily.
Bathroom: it was big, clean, had amazing lighting and neat, futuristic features.The shower could fit 3 people with a huge bench. The shower head was by far the nest thing about the whole stay! It was a massive, square, waterfall that covered every inch of me at one time. This is where the positives begin and end however. My husband took me to the Westin Downtown Dallas for our anniversary. We are not wealthy and my expectations may be too high for today's lack of standards...I don't know. Parking: Self is $26, valet is $30 (only options) Bed: Like sleeping on the floor with only a thin down blanket to cushion you. Room Service: Not only did it take forever to get, but we called 3 different times before we made a choice that they actually had!! They had "run out" of the first 2 choices, and the third choice we were informed, although it was already on the menu, it was new and wouldn't be actually available for another 2 WEEKS!!! A 5 stat hotel shouldn't run out of everything or misrepresent a darn thing in my opinion! Staff: Cleaning lady flat out walked in on us twice! So we had to leave the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door the entire time with the extra lock on. However, the front desk had to call so we could open the door for the towel guy because he couldn't knock with the sign there (maybe the maid could learn from him). TV: Only a handful of channels and the programs/actual episodes, that are the same everyday! I'm talking not just the same program but the exact same episodes everyday we were there. Noise: Although on the second to highest floor, 31 floors up, we heard sirens, traffic, and construction (the entire time)! I understand we were in downtown Dallas, but seriously, I even had to listen to the delivery truck trying to back up and park for almost 5 minutes a couple times a day. We heard every door that opened and closed, and although we were as far away from the elevators as one could get, we heard it EVERY time it moved! Checking out: We requested a luggage cart/dolly THREE times over a total of 35 minutes and still NEVER saw hair of it nor any attendants! We waited until the exact minute of check out time and then hauled it all down by ourselves with no apology or anything. Misc: No vending machines, and the gift shop is an over priced joke even in gift shop standards. However there is a nicely stalked, friendly staffed Seven Eleven around the corner within comfortable walking distance. All of that said.....would I own the bathroom, yes! Would I ever stay there again, NO.....but that's just me and my opinion.
The hotel was very clean. The staff was very welcoming. The breakfast is very good. The facilities were fun (basketball room, swimming pool ...).
excellent hotel! Kayak hooked us up with a spacious suite complete with a kitchen and small living room! If i'd come back to Dallas, for the price... this is where I want to stay.
The hotel was clean. The hotel attempted to cancel my reservation due to their overbooking problems. They didn't want to recognize my reservation. After getting rather irate with them, they tried to send me to a sister property. I called and that property was overbooked as well. The desk manager finally provided me my room. I will never stay at this location again. I am a a Marriott Gold member and they treated me like crap.
It's location in the West End where all the events of the Texas/OU Weekend took place.
The hotel had clean rooms, but the beds were not the most comfortable. It is located in a great part of Dallas, central to a lot of entertainment and easily accessible to the highway.
The lobby is beautiful. And the pool is very cool being on the 5th floor. Seemed like it was geared more for business purposes than families. No Continental breakfast.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
I didn't like the bar in the hotel. They said that it closed at 10, and we went in well before 10, but were told it was shut down already. It was our 10 anniversary and we wanted to end the night with one drink, but instead had to walk to a different bar.
The room stayed pretty cool. Housekeeping never came tonswitxh out towels or clean the room. The toilet handle broke and it was unable to flush. It took two phone calls and several hours before it was fixed.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Location. Decor. Hospitality.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
it was downtown I pulled up to valet and I was told it was a mere $30 to valet and $12 EVERY time you have your car pulled up. Valet tells me I can park in the garage next door for $15 a night. The next morning when I inserted my parking ticket, $30! Not happy!!
Great location, new hotel so in great condition, friendly staff. Great stay and the rate was amazing. 5 stars because with the rate I was expecting a less quality stay. Parking is $30 a night and you can park in the next garage (right next door) for $5 on the weekends. Don't park with the hotel. Also, they can't accommodate late checkouts since it is a smaller hotel and does not have 24hr housekeeping, not a big deal
Chic, boutique style, *very* polished & professional staff, great downtown location. Some mis-steps at the hotel restaurant. It wasn't anything terrible, it's that the rest of the service was so good, that this stood out by comparison.
Great staff, great location. Cool vibe. 30.00 to park. yikes.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Excelente ubicación El aparcamiento no está incluido
El personal! La ateción fue excelente
Mi estancia incluía un buen desayuno, con hacer tus propios gofres, galletas y salsa, huevos + chorizo, cereales, bagels y pasteles. Había un lujoso cabezal de ducha con mucha más agua lo que estoy acostumbrado. Pero yo creo que fue lo que estaba pagando, era mucho más barato que otros hoteles. Sólo un ascensor estaba trabajando, y una de las luces de los pisos no funcionaba. Había extraños tubos de PVC de color rosa para el sistema de rociadores. La conexión wifi no funcionaba constantemente. En el check-in copió mi tarjeta de crédito para cualquier incidente, aunque no había pay-per-view o mini-bar. Tanto la ducha y el lavabo del baño se llenan y vacían sólo muy lentamente.

British speaker company Bowers & Wilkins is boosting its long-running CM range of speakers with the addition of two new models and a centre speaker.
Announced today at the CEDIA Expo in Denver, Colorado, they join the dedicated CM-series subwoofer the company launched at the CEDIA UK Expo in London in June.
The new floorstander is the CM9, which uses a 25mm tweeter, 15cm Kevlar FST modrange unit and twin 16.5cm paper/Kevlar bass drivers, while a larger standmounter, the CM5, joins the range alongside the orginal CM1.
The CM5 uses the same tweeter as the big floorstander, and a single 16.5cm Kevlar bass driver.
Complementing these new speaker is a new centre channel enclosure, with central tweeter and Kevlar FST midrange driver straddled by a pair of bass units.
More after the break
The new speakers are available in a range of wood finishes as well as the new black gloss premiered at the London show.

Tahu has been charged with a grade three reckless high tackle for what appeared to be a high swinging arm hit on Newcastle winger James McManus during his Parramatta team's 6-4 NRL loss to the Knights at Energy Australia Stadium on Monday night.
With carry over points from a previous offence, that would rule the NSW winger out for four matches with an early guilty plea or five matches if he unsuccessfully contests the charge at a hearing.
It would mean dual international Tahu misses the third Origin match at Sydney's ANZ Stadium on July 7 when NSW will seek to avoid a Queensland clean sweep.
Tahu's seventh minute hit on McManus sparked a scuffle on the field and he was sinbinned a minute later following another melee after his high shoulder charge on Knghts prop Ben Cross.
It was 29-year-old Tahu's first match since he walked out of the NSW Origin II camp over racist remarks made by Knights great Johns, who subsequently resigned his assistant coach role.
But he denied the return to Newcastle was a factor.
"It was a big week in the build up to the game, but it didn't really matter if it was Newcastle or not," Tahu told reporters at the Eels' recovery session on Tuesday.
"That's the way I play, I'm an aggressive player."
Tahu confirmed he had not been sledged before the incidents which saw him sin-binned.
And he denied he had fired himself up in response to allegations from former players that racism had been part of the Newcastle club for years.
"That's the way I came out, I did the same thing in Origin I, it's the way I've been playing all year," Tahu said.
Tahu was speaking before news of his judicary charge came out and he said he was still hopeful of returning to the NSW team for Origin III next month if he could avoid suspension.
"I still want to represent my state, it's the best thing that happened to me for a while," he said.
"If I do get selected it will be a bonus for me."

Love this outfit! Pattern very easy to follow.
My simple fabulous life!
I really can't remember a time that I wasn't working on a project. I had great inspiration from my parents who were very talented in sewing and woodworking. I really think my love for handmade came from Mom and Dad.
Tucked away, I still have my first sewing project...a stuffed clown doll that is just hideously beautiful. I still remember making my first dress and wearing it to school in eighth grade. I loved the fabric. It featured very brightly colored turtles. What was I thinking?!?
My beautiful grandma taught me to crochet when I was a kid. At the time, I was a bit confused but kept practicing and couldn't stop until I knew what I was doing. I made a bicentennial poncho in 1976. It was bright red, white and blue. I was so proud of that project.
When I was a bit older, I made a list of qualities I was looking for when finding my perfect husband. On my list was someone who would appreciate my love for sewing and crocheting. God answered my prayer and gave me the best spouse who truly does support what I do.
For a wedding gift my mother gave me a beautiful Singer sewing machine. That machine did its job in decorating my new home, and making clothes and toys for my two children.
Through the years, my husband offered many times to replace my sewing machine that eventually didn't work so well. Since my mom was no longer with me, I couldn't replace my sewing machine and resisted every time the offer came up.
Finally, when I hit the big 5-0!!! and my machine was 26 years old, I agreed to a new sewing machine for my birthday. I am sure Mom would be so happy for me. Since the day I was given my new machine, it's hardly had a day off.
Now the kids are married to beautiful people and I have five wonderful grandchildren. They are the inspiration for all the baby/children items I make.
I am having the time of my life. I have people to love and something to do, and lots to look forward to. What more could a person want!!!!

Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
Date: April 8, 2003 To: Stuart Shapiro Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Dockets Management Branch (HFA-305) Food and Drug Administration 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061 Rockville, MD 20852 Fax: (202) 395-6974 From: David R. Schoneker Director of Global Regulatory Affairs Colorcon 415 Moyer Blvd. West Point, PA 19486 Phone: 215-661-2513 Fax: 215-661-2113 RE: 21 CFR Parts 201, 606, and 610 [Docket No. 02N-0204] Bar Code Label for Human Drug Products And Blood; Proposed Rule Colorcon is a global formulator and manufacturing leader of color film coating systems and state-of-the-art solid dosage imaging technologies for the pharmaceutical industry. Our technologies are used by pharmaceutical companies worldwide to distinguish and protect solid dosage forms, especially tablets. Colorcon has developed state-of-the-art technologies for tablet and other solid dosage forms in partnership with other leading dosage imaging technology companies. Colorcon and its partners have developed technology that allows a pharmaceutical company to distinguish its tablets and other dosage forms for the purpose of reducing medication errors and to enhance patient compliance. A relevant new technological development by Colorcon is the commercial ability to print and scan two dimensional (2D) bar codes on color film coated tablets (and other solid dosage forms). Additionally, Colorcon and its partners have developed the ability to covertly authenticate pharmaceutical dosage forms using pharmaceutical globally approved markers in the form of molecular bar codes. In combination, Colorcon can commercially enable 3D bar coding of solid dosage forms, essentially a covert bar code within an overt bar code. In combination with unique film coating colorant technology and high definition printing technology, Colorcon can enable commercial use of imaging systems, that when used in combination with the Colorcon 3D bar coding technology, can allow for visual identification, electronic scanning identification, and immediate evidential in-field chemical identification. All of these technologies are commercially available, and currently employ equipment that is available and largely in use by the pharmaceutical industry and medical community today. Based upon these commercially available technologies, Colorcon desires to enable the pharmaceutical industry to employ the imaging systems described above as a viable complement or alternative to the bar coding of unit dose packaging as proposed in 21 CFR Parts 201, 606, and 610 Bar Code Label for Human Drug Products and Blood; Proposed Rule. It may be possible to utilize bar coding of the actual dosage forms as a way to minimize the need for certain types of unit dose packaging. This could help to reduce the cost of medications in the hospital environment while still providing the identification controls desired. With this purpose as our platform, we respond to the following questions in the Proposed Rule. In Response to Section VIII Request for Comments Question 5 ˇV Whether the rule should refer instead to linear bar codes without mentioning any particular standard or refer to UCC/EAN and HIBCC standards. In consideration of the commercial option of bar coding tablets and other solid dosage forms, it is advisable that the Proposed Rule should allow for 2-dimensional (2D) bar codes imprinted on solid dosage forms. It is necessary to utilize a 2D bar code for the following reasons: 1. To ensure that the NDC number can be contained within the bar code on all solid dosage forms 2. To enhance the elegance of the solid dosage form Linear bar codes, unlike 2D bar codes, on solid dosage forms cannot accommodate the NDC code due to size limitations on the solid dosage form. Question 6 ˇV Additional information regarding bar code scanning technology and the ability of bar code scanners to read different symbologies. Question 7 ˇV Whether the rule should adopt a different format (whether that format is a symbology, standard, or other technology), considering the following issues: "h What other symbol, standard or technology should we consider, either in place of a linear bar code or in addition to it? "h How accepted is that symbol, standard, or technology among firms that would have to affix or use that symbol, standard, or technology? "h Will hospitals be able to read or use the symbol, standard, or technology either with existing equipment or equipment under development? A high-resolution scanner can read linear bar codes, that may be used on unit dose packaging, as well as 2D bar codes that may be used on solid dosage forms. This technology should be considered to enable flexibility to include NDC code information as well as expiration dates and lot numbers if necessary. Commercially available high-resolution scanners are capable of reading both linear and 2D Datamatrix bar codes of 2.5 square mm or smaller commercially imprinted on tablets. Colorcon has shown that it is commercially possible to print on film coated tablets, of various shapes, 2D 2.5 square mm bar codes that include an NDC code. Additionally, Colorcon has shown that it is commercially feasible to scan a 2.5 mm 2D bar code via a high-resolution scanner. 2D Datamatrix bar codes are robust and readable even when there is only a partial image present on the tablet. 2D bar codes are more reliable than linear bar codes when printed on tablet surfaces. Colorcon has shown that a portion of the 2D bar code within the border could be lost, and still successfully scanned. Hospitals would be able to scan and read both linear bar codes as well as 2D bar codes on tablets with commercially available high-resolution scanners. In support of enhancing medication safety and reducing medication errors, Colorcon would appreciate the opportunity to present the technologies referenced above and answer any questions related to the commercial capability of applying 2D bar codes to tablets and other solid dosage forms. Colorcon requests to have a meeting with the appropriate parties at FDA to further discuss these options. Please let us know when you think such a meeting could be planned. Additionally, Colorcon would be pleased to advise the FDA of relevant commercial technologies that are complementary to ensuring the safety of patients and medications through covert evidential authentication and security systems. Such systems, referred to above as 3D bar codes, could be complementary to the safety of all patients by ensuring the authenticity of the drug. This type of technology might also be useful in designing improvements related to Bioterrorism controls. Colorcon appreciates this opportunity to provide our comments on the identified questions. We plan to make more detailed comments related to the overall proposed regulation at a later date prior to the June 12, 2003 deadline. Sincerely, David R. Schoneker Director of Global Regulatory Affairs Colorcon 415 Moyer Blvd. West Point, PA 19486 Phone: 215-661-2513 Fax: 215-661-2113

Star Beauty Buys – Model Co Body Bronze Dry Touch SPF 50+
Okay, so I might just be the only person in the world who goes to Hawaii and gets whiter. Seriously!
I walked off that plane in Honolulu looking like a bronzed goddess, looking like someone who had just spent the last two weeks (safely) bathing under the Hawaiian sun. This was thanks to Model Co's Natural Tan Self-Tan Lotion. However the more time I spent in the water the more my tan started to fade (as all fake tans do).
I had the best intentions to keep applying the Self-Tan Lotion daily, but I'd get home from dinner late at night and the last thing I'd want to do is apply fake tan in the dark. There was no point reapplying the Self-Tan Lotion in the morning as I would be spending the rest of the day in the water. I, like many women think that I look a little healthier with a tan and I needed a quick, water-proof solution, and that's where Model Co's Body Bronze Dry Touch SPF 50+ came to the rescue.
Model Co's new Body Bronze Dry Touch SPF 50+ is a lightweight sunscreen (read non-greasy, quick absorption) that offers SPF50+ Broad Spectrum UVA and UVB protection as well as a moisturising, instant bronzer.
Unlike other sunscreens, Body Bronze doesn't leave your skin with a thick, greasy white lotion but instead a beautiful, subtle bronze. I'm pale and just one layer of Body Bronze made a world of a difference, I was back to looking like I was holidaying in Hawaii, not Alaska.
The 4 hour water and perspiration resistant formula is quick to dry (sand won't stick to you) and easy to wash off, using soap and water.
Apply as you do a regular sunscreen or moisturiser. Reapply every 4 hours and after swimming.
- It's a sunscreen and bronzer!
- Fast absorbing and easy to rub in
- Dry to touch
- Low irritant formula
- 4 hour water resistance
And now lets just take a minute to reminisce about Hawaii…

ACWI Charter
ACWI History
Water Questions?
Water Resources
WELCOME, INTRODUCTIONS AND OPENING REMARKS: Seventeen representatives
of eight agencies attended the meeting to discuss Federal activities involving
spatial water data. The
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) /Water Information Coordination Program (WICP)
sponsored the meeting in consultation with representatives of the Federal Geographic
Data Committee (FGDC). Nancy Lopez, Chief of the Office of Water Information
Coordination, chaired the meeting. A list of attendees is below:
PURPOSE OF THE MEETING: The group met for the following general purposes:(1) To exchange information about spatial water data activities that are underway in the Federal sector, (2) to identify water-related spatial data issues that need to be coordinated among the agencies and
with other organizations, and (3) to "reinvent" the Subcommittee on
Spatial Water Data that operated during the early 1990's under the
sponsorship of the WICP and the FGDC.
Because discussions were lively, the group was not able to cover
spatial datasets needed for watershed assessment and restoration. The group will hold a special meeting in the next few weeks to consider those important issues. The watershed assessment concerns are high priority because of the very challenging deadlines for Unified
Watershed Assessments in the President's recently announced Clean
Water Action Plan. Based on those assessments hundreds of millions of dollars will be distributed nationwide to restore watersheds and
improve water quality protection.
The following notes are divided into four sections as follows: Action
items, status of selected spatial water data activities, major issues
identified during the meeting, and preliminary discussion draft terms
of reference for the Subcommittee on Spatial Water Data.
ACTION ITEMS: The group identified next steps, as follows:
USGS/WICP-Hold a meeting in less than a month on spatial data
for watershed assessment. Include a briefing on digital elevation
data at that meeting.
USGS/WICP-Distribute the guidelines for delineating and
digitizing higher resolution watershed boundaries for review and
approval by Federal agencies within 30 days.
USGS/WICP-Once the Watershed Boundary Dataset guidelines are
distributed, hold a briefing seminar for Federal agencies. The
purpose of the meeting would be to review the guidelines and explain
the rationale for the approaches recommended in the guidelines.
All Attendees-Before the next meeting review and comment on the preliminary discussion draft for Terms of Reference (Terms) for the Subcommittee on Spatial Water Data.
USGS/WICP and FGDC-Once agencies have an opportunity to
comment, then the revised Terms will be distributed to the Advisory
Committee on Water Information and the Federal Geographic Data
Committee for review and approval.
All Attendees-Identify additional people and organizations that need to participate in future meetings. For example, a representative from the Federal Emergency Management Agency should be invited to attend the next meeting to discuss Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps. As soon as possible, the Subcommittee needs to convene and begin operating as a national forum with meetings open to the public.
STATUS OF SELECTED SPATIAL WATER DATA ACTIVITIES. Speakers from
different agencies presented information about the status of spatial
water data activities related to both fresh water and marine
environments. Not all water-related Federal spatial data projects
were represented at the meeting, but several key projects were
discussed. Future meetings will include additional organizations and activities. Each speaker provided handouts. Instead of the hardcopy handouts, homepage addresses are provided with these meeting notes.
National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Tommy DeWald/U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) discussed the joint project between EPA and
the USGS to create a National Hydrography Dataset that combines the
DLG Hydrography file at 1:100,000 scale with the attributes from EPA's River Reach Files. The NHD's primary use will be as a nationally
consistent addressing system for surface water features that preserves hydraulic continuity. The final product will be a nationally
consistent, topologically integrated dataset that can be accessed by
Hydrologic Cataloging Unit. The NHD will include flow direction for
each reach and will match across Cataloging Units. Tommy estimated
that the work will be completed by early in 1999. The developers of
the NHD intend that the system be improved/expanded over time. For
example, higher resolution information and additional data could be
produced over time. For more information see <http://nhd.usgs.gov/>.
Proposal for Development of an NSDI Hydrographic Data Content
Standard for Coastal and Inland Waterways. Nancy Blyler/Corps of
Engineers discussed this proposed dataset that is intended to support waterway navigation applications. This Standard will consist of a feature/attribute/domain, catalog consistent with the Spatial Data Transfer Standard/Federal Information Processing Standard. The FGDC Standards Working Groups has reviewed the proposal, and it will be released for public review soon. The proposal is in a fairly early phase of development, and information about the specific features and attributes to be included is not available. The point of contact for this FGDC proposal is Kevin Backe.
Proposal for a National Shoreline Data Standard. Millington
Lockwood/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
discussed a variety of activities related to shoreline data standards.
These included the Revised Proposal for a National Shoreline Data
Standard (Metada Profile for Shoreline Data) that the FGDC's
Batheymetric Sucommittee is sponsoring. The Shoreline Data Standard
will include a "stylized template" based on the meta data standard,
bibliography, and glossary. Millington also discussed the Charleston,
SC, Shoreline Standard Meeting, a contract to revise and update the
book entitled Sea and Shore Boundaries by Shalowitz, and many other
activities. Millington indicated that NOAA is digitizing the nation's
coastline from its compilation materials that were developed mostly
over the last 20 although some are from much older compilations. He
indicated that these NOAA digital shorelines should be the source for
Federal agencies. For information see <http://www.csc.noaa.gov/shoreline/>.
Higher Resolution Hydrologic Units/Watershed and Subwatershed
Boundaries. Tom Iivari/Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
and Bob Pierce/USGS discussed the status of efforts to subdivide and
digitize the 8-digit Hydrologic Units of the United States. The NRCS
State Offices are coordinating this work with State government
agencies that are emphasizing natural basin boundaries. The NRCS
state offices are now delineating and digitizing the HU's at the 5th
and 6th coding levels generally using 1:24,000-scale maps. In areas
of low relief, field work is required. The NRCS Headquarters provided
the field offices a National Instruction for conducting the
delineation and digitizing effort. The Kansas State Office has
completed the delineations and digitizing, and the resulting products have been reviewed and approved. The status of other State Office
efforts varies widely and much work remains before the effort is
complete early in the next century. Bob is providing technical
consultation and review to support the NRCS delineation and digitizing effort. For more information see: <http://www.usda.gov>.
To document guidelines for a widely accepted, nationally consistent
dataset of watershed boundaries, Bob has conducted an informal
interagency review and revision of the NRCS Instruction. The result
is a draft of consensus specifications and guidelines for subdividing and digitizing the HU's. Once Federal agencies have approved the consensus draft, it will be provided for public
review and then adoption by FGDC and the WICP Advisory Committee on
Water Information. The resulting guidelines can be used to create a
nationally consistent Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) for the
National Spatial Data Infrastructure. Some issues, such as
shorelines, will be resolved later. It is the intent of NRCS that
their digital boundaries will closely track the consensus standards,
so that they can be used with little modification as the WBD. For the most recent draft interagency guidelines see: <http://ga.water.usgs.gov>.
MAJOR ISSUES IDENTIFIED DURING THE MEETING. Participants identified
many issues during the above presentations about interrelationships
among the activities presented. Highlights of these issues are
documented below:
All of the above projects have significant potential for
application together in numerous combinations. These guidelines,
standards and datasets should not conflict, cause confusion, or become unnecessarily costly to apply because of failures to coordinate their development.
Resolution of spatial water data issues needs to occur
through an open process that involves all levels of government and the private sector. Joint sponsorship through the ACWI will provide a national forum chartered through the Federal Advisory Committee Act for such collaboration with the water resources community. Joint
sponsorship through the FGDC will ensure appropriate cooperation at
the national level with related spatial data interests.
The NHD, Waterways Data Content Standards, and Shoreline
Standards all appear to share some important hydrographic spatial data features and attributes that need to be coordinated across
Significant work is needed to address shoreline and coastal
spatial data issues so that applications can share the "underlying
line work" and exchange information effectively. It is especially
important that data for specific areas of the coast can be
located/identified across disciplines.
The priority for developing nationally consistent watershed boundaries has increased dramatically because of the use of watersheds as the geographic unit for implementing the President's Clean WaterAction Plan. The President has requested more than $500 million in additional funding for this initiative beginning in Fiscal Year 1999. Federal agencies, states and local entities have all "done their own thing" in delineating and digitizing watershed boundaries. Without consistent guidelines and datasets, the costs for acquiring,
aggregating, assessing and reporting watershed information across
jurisdictions will be much higher than they need to be.
Completely automated efforts to delineate watershed
boundaries do not yield the necessary accuracy for most applications. Recent technical advances through the EROS Data Center will allow
integration of manual and automated techniques for delineating
watershed boundaries using Digital Elevation Models (DEM's). The DEM data are used to create a first approximation of the boundaries. Then the approximate boundaries are overlaid on scanned Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) images of 1:24,000-scale USGS topographic maps. Viewing both sets of data, the boundaries are adjusted to the DRG contours. This approach can significantly reduce the cost of manually
delineating many areas of the country. The USGS contacts for this
work are Susan Greenlee/EROS and Alan Rea/OK District.
For information about the National Elevation Database see: <http://ned.usgs.gov/>.
There is a critical need for higher vertical and horizontal
resolution DEM's for water-resources applications. Currently, the
vertical accuracy for DEM's is about 15 feet.
As an alternative to using DEM's and hydrography information for delineating watershed boundaries, the National Weather Service is using flow direction grids. Flow grids have the added benefit of serving as calculation units for watershed models.
Water resources agencies need to coordinate their dataset
production and standards/guidelines development activities with FGCD
entities. Also, FGDC efforts need to be coordinated with ongoing water resources work outside the FGDC process. To achieve needed coordination, the Subcommittee on Spatial Water Data needs to be reestablished. The ACWI agreed to sponsor the group at its February meeting.
DRAFT TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR THE SUBCOMMITTEE. After the above
discussions, Nancy Lopez distributed a preliminary discussion draft of
Terms of Reference for the Subcommittee on Spatial Water Data. The
Terms provide for: joint sponsorship by the ACWI and the FGDC,
operation of the Subcommittee as an open process with public
participation, and consideration of both fresh water and marine
issues. Nancy indicated that significant revision and consideration
is needed to achieve a draft that is ready for the next steps in

Through the first ten games of the season, the Sixers were an elite defensive basketball team. They were following in the footsteps of the team which finished one game away from the Eastern Conference Finals last season. It was a miracle, considering the roster changes, but it appeared as though their system would survive the personnel losses. Since then, things have changed...dramatically.
Here's the breakdown:
First 10 games:
- eFG allowed: .478
- Turnover rate against: .149
- Defensive rebounding rate: 75.4%
- Free throw rate against: .183
- Points allowed per-100-possessions: 99.57
Past 7 games:
- eFG allowed: .490
- Turnover rate against: .120
- Defensive rebounding rate: 69.1%
- Free throw rate against: .212
- Points allowed per-100-possessions: 109.97
As a point of reference, a DFR of 99.57 would be #2 in the league right now. 109.97 would be second worst.
Their record over each stretch? 6-4 through the first ten, 4-3 through the last seven. How were they mediocre with such a great defense to start the season, and how are they keeping pace with such horrible defense since? Great questions. The answer is their offense has almost exactly mirrored their defense. 98.25 OFR in the first 10 (would be dead last in the league right now), 109.65 OFR in the past seven (would be #4 in the league right now).
Here's the question, though. Which trend is more reliable? Do you think the Sixers offense will continue to perform at the blistering pace we've seen over the past seven, or will it fall back to the middle of the pack - or worse?
Ultimately, it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters over this indeterminate period from the beginning of the season until Bynum first steps on the court is the team's record. They can't dig a hole too deep. If they get the wins on the back of unbelievable, completely unreliable offensive efficiency, that's great. If they do it using a stifling defense, that works too. Honestly, neither is something this squad will be able to consistently replicate. Their defense has too many holes, especially up front. Their offense is wholly reliant on Jrue's creation and the shooters hitting their shots. It was probably only a matter of time for teams to figure out how to attack the Sixers, and I can't imagine the defensive adjustments will be far behind.
Here's what I'm hoping for. I'm hoping these trends even out and, statistically speaking, they wind up somewhere in the middle of the pack on both ends of the floor. That should equate to a .500 record. I'm hoping they wind up a couple games better than that on the back of late-game performances.
The short-term goal remains getting to 4 games over .500 by Sunday, December 23rd. The day they begin the Ice Capades trip. I think 2-6 is a likely outcome from that 8-game trip, and they need to be at or above .500 when they get back. Can they do it? It's not going to be easy. They have 10 games on their schedule over the next 19 days. Six at home, four on the road. Only four against teams at or above .500, but the sub-.500 teams include the Lakers, Mavs, Timberwolves and Pacers. All talented teams. The other two teams are the Pistons, who hammered the Sixers, and the Rockets, who are extremely unpredictable. 6-4 over that stretch? That might be a stretch.
Here's a cool new feature from B-R.com, an embedded live look at their numbers. This table is tailored to the first numbers I check for a baseline on how a player is performing. Check it out:

Mitt Romney really should show more common sense than to travel to Israel and declare that Jerusalem is their capital and that he will move our embassy there whenever the Israelis feel it would be a good time to do so. It's an unnecessarily provocative move that isn't likely to win him many Jewish votes. And it's just one more example of Romney making promises that really amount to an abdication of responsibility. He'll let his generals decide his foreign policy. He'll consult his lawyers before he confronts Iran. He'll let Israel attack Iran without any conditions. He'll let Israel decide when to move our embassy to Jerusalem.
It's a pattern of behavior at this point. And I think most Jewish-Americans are familiar enough with the controversy over Jerusalem's status that they'll see Romney's behavior as naked pandering that demonstrates a reckless disregard for protocol.

Restoring an Angel
Posted 15 December 2012 - 11:10 AM ( #1 )
I was wondering if anyone has restored the color to the wings on their Angel ~ mine are extremely worn and I'd like to repaint them. Before I go out and buy paint (was thinking gold model paint for like a model car) I thought I'd see if anyone here had suggestions for a brand or warnings about any sort of paint not to use.

Also, if you use the white tipped soft brushes, i think they're the softest (maybe?) and leave the least amount of paint brush streaks. Maybe invest in a small pack of them and use the smallest brush (obviously, lol).
I say all this due to experience of painting sculpy clay as it's polymer which is a type of plastic.
Also, cover the screen, buttons, and other parts, to make sure there's no misshaps.
It looks to be in lovely condition otherwise. It's that the white version?

Posted 15 December 2012 - 11:58 AM ( #3 )
Yeah, I was wondering about priming them first. The only toys I've ever painted have been vinyl, and resin (not that you can really call a resin ball joint doll a toy, but whatever, close enough!). So I already have a set of very nice little brushes. I was thinking that model paint would probably hold up better than say, craft paint, but as I've never actually painted a Tamagotchi, I wasn't sure how any sort of paint would hold up on it.
Is there such a thing as a sealant that you paint on? I was thinking that would be good too, but I only have spray sealants.
Yes, it's the white version, and it's great other than the wings! I put it in my pocket for one day at work, and after that, no more pretty gold wings. Oops! Now it goes on a lanyard or just sits on my desk.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 09:51 PM ( #4 )
The trick is, the color matches well, but paint it or touch it too early,the paint rubs off like a dry erase marker. It has to sit there and then you have to carefully paint that clear coat... I finally got it to stay, but it was a challenge. My Angel wasn't that bad off in the gold paint, but it was showing signs of comming off.
If you try it... The Smooch stuff, Art stores...
It will also take time to get it right...
Posted 15 December 2012 - 09:54 PM ( #5 )
Sealant... i tend to use a varnish. Thing is, not all varnishes are created equal. I've had some that no matter what i did, after drying they felt sticky. I would look up about them but I dunno if I would honestly put a varnish on it because it might look tacky just on the wings.
As for the paints, I'd say look up reviews as well. I've only really used FolkArt and Ceramcoat, not any model paint, so I don't know how well they compare.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 10:36 AM ( #6 )
Perhaps I'll have to do an ebay search for those hard cases once I've repainted the wings! Would the case make it too bulky for putting comfortably into a pants pocket?
Posted 20 December 2012 - 10:53 AM ( #7 )
Posted 21 December 2012 - 05:55 PM ( #8 )
Just a note. I put them on a warn gold wing. It matched that coloring well... It might be slightly different then your angel's paint.

How to Rip an Episode from TV Series/Episodic TV/Sitcoms/Music TV/TV Show DVD
I would like to rip a TV series DVD. Not the whole DVD, but each episode. As I want the quality to be exactly the same as on the DVD, I don't want to re-encode anything. I also want to keep all audio tracks and subtitles to study foreign language while watching the episodes.
How to Download TV Shows Free from YouTube in MP4 4K/1080p/720p HD
Rip an Episode from TV Series DVD/TV Show DVD
An episode is a part of a sequence of a body of work, akin to a chapter of movie or TV series. It is frequently used in soap operas, science fiction series, comedies and animated films. Typically, the episodes of episodic TV shows are classified according to the plot or storyline of film script.
In case of wanting the ripped video to be sequenced and sorted by episode, you can choose "Copy DVD Chapter" option in WinX DVD Copy Pro for Series episode ripping, which is designed to copy DVD based on chapters such that you can get separated episodes from the ripped MPEG2 video file.
The episode ripping way is also applicable to sitcoms, music TV and TV Show DVDs.
Compressing, but Not Debasing
What's the secret of keeping the ripped TV series exactly the same as the original DVD? Well, the mode of ripping!
WinX DVD Copy Pro has made a technical revolution in changing the traditional and backward decoding-encoding way into a remarkable ripping mode – copy the original DVD video/audio data directly from DVD and remux it to a MPEG-2 file.
This can produce 1:1 quality in terms of both audio and video to better meet requirements of users over the video quality.
Why MPEG2 for Series Episode Ripping?
As for shrinking TV series DVD to get rid of unwanted episodes or chapters without resulting in any quality degradation of the series, probably only MPEG2 format can do this job well. Thumbs-up is given to MPEG2, not only a container format, but also an encoding format, for its great compatibility.
Ripping chapters of DVD to MPEG2 file guarantees original DVD quality, including intact subtitles/video/audio tracks and original 5.1-channles AC3/DTS Dolby audio effect.
MPEG-2 file also has other usefulness. It can be screened and played back on PS3, Xbox, Wii and TVs from USB flash drive, and also can be further edited in Windows Media Center.
How to Copy Episodic TV series with WinX DVD Copy Pro?
In order to get desired episodes from a TV series DVD, you can choose to rip DVD to a MPEG2 file by copying based on DVD chapters. WinX DVD Copy Pro, as a special DVD backup program to meet users' up-to-date DVD utilizing desire, is endowed with function for ripping desired episodes from a TV Series DVD.
The principle and operation are very simple, namely, copy DVD chapter to rip episodes to MPEG2 from DVD.
Warm-up: download WinX DVD Copy Pro and run it, import your TV Series/Episodic TV/Sitcoms/Music TV/TV Show DVD which will auto appear as "Source DVD".
Step 1: browse to find a proper disk and folder in your computer to save your output episodic TV series video;
Step 2: Choose "Copy DVD Chapter" on the left of GUI of this DVD copy software;
Step 3: Choose the "main title" in the middle to get rid of ads, opening theme song, ending song, NG and tidbits, etc. unless you need them;
Step 4: Find and click one or more chapters related to this episode based on each chapter name under "description" adjacent to "Duration" shown on the right part. You can judge which to copy, and can rip one or more episodes from TV series DVD;
Step 5: Click "Run" to start ripping an episode from DVD, then you can get a single MPEG2 file with extension ended with ".mpg" including all chapters of the episode you needed, and you can also rename the file for your convenience.

|Home > National News > Issues > State Election > Article
Seven years ago, Jacinta Allan was bagging groceries part-time at Coles in Kangaroo Flat, near Bendigo. Tomorrow, after two extraordinary election wins, she will be sworn in as the youngest minister in the history of the state.
Ms Allan, the 29-year-old member for Bendigo East, yesterday said being selected to join the front bench in a second-term Labor Government was a "huge honour".
She recalled lessons learnt in the supermarket during her days as an arts student at La Trobe University, customer service skills that she has employed on the campaign trail and in parliament. Smile, keep your cool, listen.
Ms Allan was elected in the pro-Labor regional swing of 1999, claiming Bendigo East from former Liberal minister Michael John. On Saturday, she turned a 3 per cent margin into a 13 per cent buffer.
Transport Minister Peter Batchelor, a factional colleague in the Socialist Left, said Ms Allan immediately established a reputation as a savvy, hard worker who grabbed every opportunity as it arose. People, he said, noticed.
Some, including the Women's Electoral Lobby, even refer to her as a future leader of the party.
Asked whether she had leadership aspirations, Ms Allan laughed briefly then, in the spirit of modern-day politicians, evaded the question. "Look, today is an amazing day, it's a very exciting day for me and I'm taking it pretty much every day as it comes."
Agriculture, youth affairs and Aboriginal affairs have been mooted as possible portfolios for Ms Allan, who worked as an electorate officer for two federal Labor MPs before entering State Parliament. But yesterday she declined to speculate, maintaining that portfolio allocation was the prerogative of the Premier.
Ms Allan will be the youngest minister in the state's history, although Alfred Deakin, aged 26 in the 1880s, assumed a portfolio in the then colony of Victoria. She was one of about 40 female MPs who were returned, or elected, at the weekend. Some seats remain undecided but so far, at least 39 women will fill seats in the parliament's upper and lower houses, up on the 34 women before the poll.
Despite that increase, the gender balance in Labor's second-term cabinet is more strongly weighted towards men. Seven of 20 ministers are women, compared to eight of 19 at the end of the Bracks Government's first term.
One of the women dumped from that cabinet, Monica Gould, has been installed as President of the Legislative Council.
In the Legislative Assembly, or lower house, Judy Maddigan will take the Speaker's chair when parliament resumes. No woman has held either post in Victoria. The pair yesterday said they planned sweeping changes to some of the anachronistic characteristics of the state's legislature, including rewriting rule books in plain English, encouraging family friendly hours and possibly setting up a creche.
"We have a member of the lower house, of course, who will be a mother in February and there are no real facilities here, so we'll be working together to see what we can do," Mrs Maddigan said.
Ms Gould said a new dress code would be adopted. Officials who serve in parliament could be given the option of wearing normal business attire and the wigs and gowns donned by her predecessors would be abandoned.

The question in the Cooke case revolves around why the Short Creek family never received a water hook up at their home. Was it because they were being discriminated against? Or because they were looking for a reason to sue Colorado City and Hildale?
The jury will ultimately decide what was going on.
But regardless of the reasons, the lack of utilities sounds like it was awful. More about this will likely come out during the course of the trial, but after just one day in court, here are some of the things their lawyers and Isaac Wyler have said they experienced:

Weekend forecast is a colder one
We had a taste of Spring across central Indiana on Friday, with temperatures in the 60s.
A cold front will take our warm air out of central Indiana. That cold front arrives late Friday night. That front may trigger a few showers from about 10pm Friday through 4am Saturday. the best chance for light rain will be north of Indianapolis. Here is a view of FutureTrak 13 at 1am Saturday.
Colder air is on the way for the weekend. Expect a mix of clouds and sun on Saturday and Sunday. Highs will be in the 40s on Saturday and only in the 30s on Sunday. This chill will last through Wednesday of next week.
We are also tracking the chance for light snow on Tuesday.
We warm back up by the end of next week. Have a great weekend.

The health and well-being of Aboriginal communities is closely linked to a connection with the land. Margot Parkes, Canada Research Chair in Health, Ecosystems and Society at the University of Northern BC, identifies potential common ground between the emerging fields of ecohealth and holistic approaches to Aboriginal health. She highlights a new generation of research and practice bridging the "artificial divides" between environmental and social approaches to health, and suggests that building on the strengths of both approaches is "fertile ground that could help foster a future for Aboriginal communities where ecosystems, equity, health and culture can flourish."
