Richmond Learns To Grow Smaller, Smarter
"Richmond's population has lost 56,000 since its peak in 1970, when it had 250,000 residents, and the city is finally coming to terms with it. Green space is replacing boarded-up houses. Small single-family homes are rising where crowded cinderblock apartment buildings once stood. Singles and couples are moving into rehabilitated homes that once housed families of eight.
Slowly, old American cities that have been in a downward population spiral for a half-century or more are reinventing themselves as, well, smaller cities. They're starting to adopt -- many, like Richmond, do it unknowingly - tenets of the burgeoning, European-born 'Shrinking Cities' movement. The idea: If cities can grow in a smart way, they can also shrink smartly."

7 Celebs Involved In Bizarre Lawsuits
Oprah Winfrey—a bad neighbor? That's what one man who lives near her new property above Telluride, Colorado, seems to think. Retired physicist Charles D. Goodman is suing Winfrey, claiming the property blocks access to hiking trails that were previously open to locals. Goodman says Winfrey and the prior owners of the property made a secret deal with the town of Mountain Village to erase easements that have, for decades, allowed nearby residents to use the trails, before Oprah bought the property in March. A rep for Winfrey's company says the company plans to allow "reasonable" access. Check out these six other celebrities involved in somewhat odd lawsuits on Newser…

RIM tops quarterly estimates; stock up 5%
Updated 7:58 pm, Friday, September 28, 2012
Number of the day
5 percent
That's how much Research In Motion saw its stock rise Friday after the BlackBerry maker posted quarterly sales that trounced analyst estimates. The stock rose as much as 15 percent, its biggest intraday gain in almost a year, after the Canadian company reported the sale of 7.4 million phones in the fiscal second quarter and posted a narrower loss than expected. The results signal RIM may still have a future as it struggles to compete with Apple's iPhone and Android-based phones.

How digital media can save retail
This is an intergalactic emergency…" – Buzz Lightyear, Toy Story
I'll admit, I'm a digital native. When I think about shopping, my mind goes online first - if not to buy, at least to check reviews and prices. But with my son's first birthday quickly approaching, I decided to brave the traffic and head to a Toys 'R Us store.
Big mistake.
I had no idea what to buy. I was paralyzed by choice and I didn't know which toys were better than others, which prices were justified, and which were really age appropriate. After settling on a truck, I stood in a line with two other people - 30 minutes after grabbing the truck, I finally paid and left. I'll never go back. That hour-long trip to buy a $25 toy truck made it painfully clear why so many brick-and-mortar retailers are having trouble keeping up with the Amazons of the world.
As more people turn to their smartphones to aid in their shopping experiences, brick-and-mortar must hop on the innovation train if they are going to convince shoppers that there is some redeeming value to the idea of getting into the car and driving to a store.
Here are three ways retailers can marry physical and digital to make shopping in-store a rewarding experience:

In one corner, the Senate majority leader. In the other corner, a Nevada rancher disputing the government's authority to collect grazing fees and restrict access to land for his cattle.
On Thursday, Majority Leader Harry Reid said the armed supporters of the rancher, Cliven Bundy, are "domestic terrorists" at an event sponsored by the Las Vegas Review Journal .
"These people, who hold themselves out to be patriots, are not. They're nothing more than domestic terrorists," the Nevada Democrat said. "And I think that we are a country that people should follow the law, and what went up in Mesquite is not very good.
"I repeat, what went on up there is domestic terrorism," Reid said.
Reid said he spoke recently with several top federal officials, including Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., FBI Director James B. Comey and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell about the ranch situation.
Bundy has been at loggerheads with the Bureau of Land Management over cattle grazing fees and access to federal land, with Bundy contending that the federal agency has no authority in the matter, despite court orders to the contrary.
Appearing Tuesday night on Fox News , Bundy alleged that the local sheriff is "the only man with arresting power in Clark County, Nevada."
He added that Reid should stay out of local business, even though federal land management is well within the purview of the Interior Department.
"You know Harry, Nevada citizens, we the people elected you to go back to the United States Senate and take care of the United States business, which might be something like defend us from foreign nations," Bundy said. "Harry, get back there and take care of that work and leave us alone here in Nevada."
"You have no business here in Clark County," Bundy said of Reid during that interview with Sean Hannity.
Clark County, where the Bundy ranch is located, is also the county that's home to Las Vegas.

What is HTML5 & CSS3 Training?
Our 2-day HTML5 & CSS3 training course will teach you the latest features in web development and give you the tools to start building better content for the web.
The web is evolving. Web pages have become applications. Web content is now read on a wide variety of devices. HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript provide front-end developers with the tools to create content for any platform.
Why are HTML5 & CSS3 Important?
HTML5 & CSS3 are the latest versions of the web's standard markup language, and includes a range of new features, tags and functionality. These allow for more flexibility when designing for desktops, and - perhaps more importantly - provides a new standard for the development of web content and web apps for mobile.
CSS3 allows developers to design more flexible and dynamic stylesheets, which can respond to a user's device, screen size and orientation, and also the user's behaviour. It can be used to add effects to page elements, and even to skew, re-size, rotate and transform page elements without the use of animation software like Flash.
We also provide private and in-company HTML5 & CSS3 courses. Call +44 (0)1273 622272 to discuss.
Before attending our HTML5 & CSS3 training course you should first come on our 2-day HTML & CSS course or have similar hands-on experience using HTML & CSS to write and format web pages from scratch, including building floated layouts and familarity with CSS1 and CSS2 selectors.
Course Objectives

Phil Smith - Expedia, Inc.
I undertook the HTML5 and CSS3 5 day course package earlier in the year I found the trainer for the course was exceptional, the example material which we worked from has been like a bible, I have already built my first practice website but more importantly I am able to understand, make suggestions and work more diligently with the development and production teams at work. As a complete beginner complex looking HTML was simplified to make total sense, within 4 weeks of putting into practice what I had learnt I was optimizing my first website for responsive design!
Phil Smith - Expedia
Great tutor, gave us some proper real-world insight into the fundamentals of the subject! Would recommend.
Craig Harris - INTO University Partnerships
Brilliant, helpful, friendly - making learning a pleasure!

With the old soldiers fading away, the biggest battle for the Returned and Service's League is remaining relevant. Anthony Dennis assesses an organisation gearing up for its biggest day of the year.
Lest we forget. But please don't interrupt the stage show ... They used to recite the RSL ode at the Revesby Heights Ex-Servicemen's Memorial Club, in Sydney's south-west, nightly at 6pm. The ode, which solemnly remembers the fallen, demands that all activity in the club cease while it's recited over PA systems. But they kept having to stop the live entertainment in the main section of the club for it. Now it's recited each day at the relatively ungodly hour of 11am.
Perhaps there are more diggers present at that time. After all, all but a few are too elderly not to be retired. Whatever the case, with the dwindling of its once massive membership perhaps it's another metaphor that illustrates the RSL's fading relevance.
Inside the club is Malcolm Walker, 57. Amid the tinny din of poker machines and the dull hum of robust male conversation, Walker is drinking with fellow Revesby Heights RSL sub-branch members Taffy Jones, 77 and Les Cavey, 74. It's less than a week till Anzac Day - the one day of the year that renders ordinary men, such as this trio, extraordinary.
Jones and Cavey are in the twilight of their lives - and their RSL membership. Walker is contemplating giving up his work as a painting contractor and retiring. The aches and pains of a grenade in Vietnam are making it difficult to perform such physical work. They're also a reminder of what he endured for his country and why his RSL membership matters to him.
Though no longer a young man, Walker is the sort of person the RSL desperately needs. He is regarded as "young blood" in the movement. As secretary of the sub-branch this year, he signed up four Korean War veterans who, for whatever reason, had not bothered to join in all the years since the end of that conflict. Recruitment stands as one of the RSL's biggest challenges.
The young, engendered with a renewed passion and respect for Anzac Day, demand to be included in the annual march. But few seek to become active members of the sub-branches that organise the various events. How much longer will it be before the question of the RSL's survival and its declining political and social influence will be meaningfully addressed? Malcolm Walker's optimistic: there's no need for panic, at least not yet.
"You're going to get those younger ones," says Walker. "They'll come in. They don't want to see it end. Possibly the threat of the RSL dying will encourage them into joining."
Revesby Heights is the RSL sub-branch of 74-year-old Rusty Priest, the soon-to-retire president of the NSW arm of the organisation. It was about 6am on a Saturday morning a year ago that Priest's mobile began to ring. It scarcely stopped all day. Priest's controversy-prone Canberra-based federal president, Major-General Peter Phillips, a somewhat younger man from a different war - and a more highly-ranked one at that - had that morning made a dramatic announcement.
As part of a historic Federal Government-supported review, Australians were to be consulted about the future of Anzac Day in the light of the thinning ranks of the RSL. A quartet of "eminent persons" would examine its future and status as Australia's de facto national day.
"The next decade will certainly see most of the World War II veterans, if they haven't passed on, hardly in a position to march," said Phillips at the time. "Certainly, in three or four years we'll see a considerable thinning of the ranks. By 2010 there'll be hardly a veteran marching."
Phillips's proposal, based on some blunt-edged mathematics (he estimated that half of the surviving 100,000 World War II veterans would have died by 2010), aroused immediate media interest. Priest was inundated with requests for his reaction but, extraordinarily, he said that it was the first he knew of it. Phillips, it appeared, had acted independently and, as it eventuated, provocatively. A few weeks after Anzac Day 2001, the retired major-general's bold plan had been torpedoed by the RSL's national executive following a dramatic emergency meeting.
The RSL, confronted by the mortality of its members and the organisation itself, privately decided that the matter would instead be reviewed by the states over an indeterminate period of years, essentially behind closed doors and without outsiders, eminent or otherwise. At some later point the RSL would consult with the community.
(Priest points out that the RSL has created "Anzac Sunday", held each year the Sunday before Anzac Day, which provides the chance for the families of veterans to march and attend other functions.)
To some, the response of the RSL - "Australia's conservative conscience" - was symbolic of its almost spiritual sense of guardianship of Anzac Day - a day many Australians consider much more profound commemoration of the nation's values than Australia Day.
Many RSL members had been affronted that Phillips had effectively pulled rank on his own organisation, igniting fears among veterans that Anzac Day would somehow degenerate into a"fireworks and fun day" rather than one of remembrance.
And, yesterday, Phillips bravely ventured over the top again, advocating that children be included in Anzac Day marches, again provoking the ire of Priest.
The notion of an eminent persons group was at odds with the RSL's supposed egalitarianism. However, others felt that Phillips's proposal had emerged not a moment too soon and that, in fact, it was the logical evolution of an existing national debate. And it possessed the potential to make the RSL more relevant to a broader, younger Australia eager to participate in what Australian National University historian Hank Nelson says has emerged as a sort national "folk day".
Adrian D'Hage, a retired brigadier and the former head of security for the Olympic Games, believes the RSL's decision to overturn Phillips's "visionary idea" was "reprehensible".
"Image is an important issue for the RSL," he says. "If I was them I would be doing a lot of market research of the younger generations of Australians, both in and out of the defence forces. The RSL has an important role to play. But like the church and other institutions it sometimes struggles to remain relevant. I say sometimes because we're all aware of the resurgence of interest from young Australians for Anzac Day."
Indeed, the RSL is yet to properly address the question of the relatives of veterans, alive or dead, marching on April 25, often sporting the medals of loved ones. Relatives of veterans can only directly participate in the march if they have the veterans' medals of have the approval of the relevant sub-branch. The RSL doesn't actively prevent this kind of participation, but nor does it encourage it either, worried the involvement of the younger, non-member generation will lengthen marches in the tightly allotted timeframes allocated in the major cities for the commemorations.
Richard Waterhouse, a professor of history at the University of Sydney, is one of those who would like to march, in honour of his late father. Waterhouse worries the issue may become a subject for resentment among potential friends of the movement and supporters of Anzac Day itself. Waterhouse's late father marched every year. But he was never an RSL member, having resented the organisation's political stances.
"If Anzac Day is going to remain relevant people in the wider community need to be consulted," says Waterhouse. "The RSL tends to feel that only they understand Anzac Day and only they can organise the day and the march. I'd like to march with my father's medals. The RSL is very ambiguous on this issue. What they want to do is go on exercising their authority over the day."
Hank Nelson, who is a professor of history at the Australian National University, points out the demise of war veterans. For instance, of the 14,000 prisoners of war under the Japanese who returned to Australia, only about 2,500 are alive. Nelson says that 100 or so of those who received a special payment in recognition of their suffering from the Federal Government in the 2001 Budget have already passed away. Slowly, but inevitably, time is taking its toll.
"A terrible decision has had to be made among the associations," says Nelson. "They've had to be disbanded. A battalion to these men is like their home. It's sad to see them disbanded because they've lost so many numbers."
Indeed, in the absence of a major world conflict, the RSL, with about 76,000 members in NSW and 220,000 nationally, faces a decline in membership through the most natural of attrition unless it can attract thousands of new recruits. So far they have not been forthcoming, even though Anzac Day marches have been attracting more marchers. This is partly due to the participation of relatives of veterans. But, long-term, as Phillips himself indicated last year, Vietnam and East Timor veterans will be insufficient to bolster march numbers.
Some Vietnam veterans have never bothered to join. They resent the RSL's lack of recognition of them on their return from Vietnam, as well as the movement's perceived attitudes to the Agent Orange Royal Commission in the 1980s.
To add to the RSL's challenges, there are fewer RSL members in Federal Parliament to exert the organisation's accustomed influence at the door-step of government. Priest says that during his presidency he has turned to the grassroots of the RSL - its sub-branches - to help sign up new recruits: "The numbers will fall away. But I constantly say to the sub-branches 'you're the best recruiters and you have to convince people it's worth joining'. Anzac Day will survive because as long as there is a sub-branch out there within the community, a march and a service will be held. How it's conducted in the years to come will be continually assessed. The Anzac Day march committee will do that as it does each year."
The Returned and Services League of Australia began in 1916 as the Returned Sailors' and Soldiers' Imperial League of Australia. It acquired its current name in 1965. Its ethos was founded not just on a kind of mass mateship, but a desire to "provide for the sick and wounded and needy among those who served and their dependents, including pensions, medical attention, homes and suitable employment".
Today, the RSL is often confused with the clubs - and even the Sydney taxi company - that still bear its famous name. But, essentially, they remain separate entities, though the connection adds to the complex nature of the movement's structure. Today, the land and facilities of many RSL clubs are in many cases still owned by the original RSL sub-branches, under the jurisdiction of the RSL, explains a spokesperson for Clubs NSW.
But many of the RSL clubs, as they expanded, took steps to control their own destinies by attempting to buy the real estate on which they were located. In some instances, the RSL sub-branches were willing to sell, and sometimes not - the final decision on being in the hands of the RSL.
The relationship between the RSL sub-branches and the RSL clubs varies. Most RSL clubs and Ex-Servicemen's Clubs play host to a sub-branch and conform to the organisation's request that the ode be broadcast each day at a regular time.
But while the profusion of clubs in NSW provides visibility for the organisation it doesn't necessarily translate into many new members for the sub-branches.
And other pressing issues remain unresolved. Back at Revesby Heights Ex-Servicemen's, Les Cavey sips his beer. He says that the public face of the RSL, with all of its well-intentioned bluster and genuine benevolence, is contrasted by the much more private day-to-day life of the sub-branch. The latter is embodied in compassion, camaraderie and remembrance.
"A lot of people think the RSL's just like a war club. And that it's just too jingoistic. A bit like the Hitler Youth," he laughs. "I like the youth part but not the Hitler bit ... But what it really means is a common bond. Just because a bloke belongs to the RSL doesn't mean he's Jesus Christ. At the end of the day, the RSL's just about a bunch of mostly good blokes."

JP Morgan and Wells Fargo announced a surge in profits on Friday, the result of record-low mortgage rates and help from the Federal Reserve.
"The housing market has turned the corner," JP Morgan Chase CEO James Dimon said, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Dimon has been working hard to draw attention away from last May's multibillion-dollar trading loss, which forced the bank to collect millions of dollars in compensation, shocked its investors, and draw attention from federal law enforcement agents, the New York Times reported.
Wells Fargo's profits increased 23 percent, up to $4.7 billion from $3.8 billion last quarter; JP Morgan saw earnings increase by 34 percent to $5.71 billion, the Associated Press reported.
More from GlobalPost: Wells Fargo faces US government lawsuit over alleged 'reckless' mortgage loans
The Federal Reserve is putting $40 billion a month towards mortgage rate to encourage Americans to buy homes, which may be benefiting the banks more than buyers, according to the Washington Post.
"Banks are in the business of making money and are not going to cut their profit margins for the social good," Paul Miller, a former examiner with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, told the Post.
Both banks, however, are currently facing several lawsuits: this week, Wells Fargo was served a federal lawsuit for "recklessly issuing mortgages backed by a federal insurance program," the Wall Street Journal reported, and last week, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed a civil lawsuit against JP Morgan over alleged fraud in selling mortgage-backed securities by the banks' Bear Stearns Co.

RAY SUAREZ: Joining us now is Pakistan's ambassador to the United States, Husain Haqqani.
Mr. Ambassador, welcome. You heard Secretary of State Rice call in your country for robust cooperation, and she says she's been promised it. What has the Pakistani government undertaken to do? What are you going to do in response?
HUSAIN HAQQANI, Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States: Well, the most important thing to understand is that Pakistan feels the pain of our neighbors.
Now, we do have a burden of history. There are people in Pakistan who think that there are elements in India who do not want Pakistan to continue existing as a separate state. There are people in India who feel that there are elements in Pakistan that would continue to attack India through terrorist means.
Because of that, the discourse between our nations always becomes angry. But the fact of the matter is that, from the day the attacks took place, Pakistan's position has been that we understand India's pain and, if evidence is shared with us, we will act on it.
So now that the evidence is beginning to be shared, we are acting on that. And I will not get into the details of that, because it involves intelligence matters.
But let me just say, Pakistan will take action against any elements inside Pakistan that are found to be responsible for a terrorist attack against our neighbor or anywhere else in the world. And no one will be spared as long as we are told what the evidence is against them and as long as we know who we are targeting.
Pakistan will 'act on evidence'
RAY SUAREZ: You say act on evidence that's presented to you. Is the Pakistani government even willing at this point to concede that the attackers in Mumbai came from Pakistan, that Ajmal Amir Qasab, who's been -- who survived the attacks and is giving information to the Indian government, is, indeed, from your country?
HUSAIN HAQQANI: All I'm going to say is that, instead of prejudging where a certain person is from, we will go by what the evidence is.
But if the evidence is presented -- and certain evidence is being shared with us now -- as soon as we get that evidence, we will act on it.
The fact of the matter is, no one has accused the state of Pakistan, which is different, by the way, from the past. In the past, the allegation used to be the government of Pakistan planned the attack. This time, even our friends in India are not accusing the government.
They are not accusing the state of Pakistan. They are accusing elements in Pakistan. And we certainly are prepared to look at that allegation. And we are willing to act against those people as much as the Indians are.
Let us be honest about it. These terrorists, whether they are in Pakistan or elsewhere in the world, they are our enemy as much as they are India's.
RAY SUAREZ: You say these people are as much your enemy as India's. Today India asked your country to arrest, to detain, and turn over to India 20 people who are involved in some of the more prominent violent groups from your country, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. Are you going to help with that endeavor?
HUSAIN HAQQANI: We will certainly act as we have promised. And you've heard Secretary Rice say she accepts what we have assured the United States of.
We will not go into the details of the individuals and what the lists are that have been shared between India and Pakistan.
Look, let's look at what's been happening in the last few days. There is the 24-hour news cycle. We have heard several accounts of what happened. We will hear most of them.
But the important thing is that the government of India, the government of Pakistan, and our friendly governments, like the government of the United States, should know exactly where we all stand.
And I think today everybody is confident that the intention of the government of Pakistan is to make sure that no one -- Lashkar-e-Taiba, any other group -- uses Pakistan as a base for militant terrorist operations against anyone.
Attacks had multiple purposes
RAY SUAREZ: It's said in Pakistani cities by international journalists, by citizens of your country that Lashkar-e-Taiba operates in the open, that people know where its houses are, that people know where its leaders, like Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, are. Are they now in danger of arrest?
HUSAIN HAQQANI: Ray, if I answer that question in the affirmative, you know that many of these guys are going to go underground, because I'm sure some of them are watching your show, if not on television, certainly on the Internet. So let's not get into the specifics.
All I'm saying is that let us be very clear. There is a history, and I acknowledge that history. We will not get bogged down with that. The important thing is that the new elected Pakistani government is very clear that no terrorist organization, no organization that engages in terrorism is going to be allowed to operate out of Pakistan.
And another thing, we are not going to judge terrorists by their causes. We are going to judge them by their actions. So basically anybody who engages in terrorism is a terrorist for us, irrespective of what cause they espouse.
RAY SUAREZ: Did the attack on Mumbai come at a time when there was actually a thaw, when the momentum was moving in the other way in Pakistani-Indian relations?
HUSAIN HAQQANI: Well, my view -- and I have said that several times in the last few times -- is that the purpose of the attacks was threefold.
First, of course, it was to attack in India and cause the carnage that was caused.
The other intended target was Pakistan's fledgling democracy, to threaten the democratic regime that has emerged in Pakistan after several years of dictatorship.
And the third target was the India-Pakistan peace process. If India and Pakistan stop looking at each other as rivals or enemies and start thinking of each other as neighbors who have had problems, but who have a future together, then, of course, the terrorists have no cause left. So they want our countries to come to the brink, to be at each other's throats.
And in that sense, I think that the carnage of Mumbai has had a very negative impact. But the important thing is that the leadership in India needs to assuage the feelings of the people of India, reassure them that the government in Pakistan is a different government, that there is a leadership in Pakistan that looks upon India as a neighbor and not as an enemy, and wants to befriend it. And so let's move in that direction.
U.S. role in Pakistan-India talks
RAY SUAREZ: Earlier this week, the United States' highest-ranking military officer was in your country, today our highest-ranking diplomat. What role does the United States have in steering a course between India and Pakistan at the current time?
HUSAIN HAQQANI: Well, the United States is a friend of India, and the United States is a friend of Pakistan. And friends, of course, can always help remove misunderstandings.
The United States also has a tremendous technological capability which helps in producing very good actionable intelligence. And it can be a reliable source of intelligence, instead of the "Spy vs. Spy" kind of intelligence that the Indians and the Pakistanis have often given to each other in the past. So I think that is the main role of the United States.
But more important than that, the United States can help build Pakistan's democratic future. Pakistan's democratic government has inherited an economy that is in shambles. We have large pockets of extremist ideology in our country. Only 58 percent of our school-going-age children go to school.
This is, of course, the collective impact, the cumulative impact of many, many years of wrong policies. And I think the United States has a role in helping Pakistan overcome the burden of history in that -- in its domestic realm and also help India understand that there is a new Pakistan that can be a partner of India, a democratic Pakistan that can be a partner of a democratic India in making the lives of Pakistanis and Indians better in the future.
RAY SUAREZ: Pakistan's ambassador to the United States, Husain Haqqani, Mr. Ambassador, thanks.
HUSAIN HAQQANI: Thank you for having me.

Hey, I'm Tyler.
I am 20 and an Environmental Engineering Major at the University of Central Florida. Although I am pursuing an awesome career, I have always had the aspirations of becoming a Victoria's Secret model. It was a couple of years ago when I realized that millions of girls also share that dream with me.

2D Vs 3D VOF calculations
I have carried out a 2D VOF transient calculations (in Fluent) of a heavy material droplet falling inside a water pool (2phase, droplet-water ). The rate of deformation of a droplet is deduced from the simulation, calculating the droplet surface area(which is the area of iso surface created for volume fraction of a droplet). Gradient mesh adaptation is used at the interfaces. Many cases are tried with different initial velocity of droplet
Similar calculations are repeated in 3D, and the size of the mesh cells kept same in both cases.
Finally, comparing the 2D and 3D calculations, the rate of deformation of a droplet is not coherent in both cases (higher in 3D calculations).
What could be the probable reason?
Thanks in advance!

Allegra Percale Sheet Set is rated out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Esse from Prettier in person I love the subtle pattern on this beautiful duvet. it adds a detail you don't initially see when you look at it on your bed from far way. Luxury feeling reminds me of staying at a fancy hotel. Going to ask for the sheet set for my birthday :)

Rated 4 out of 5 by LizzT from Elegant, neutral, sophisticated I bought the duvet cover and shams and have been pleased so far. The pattern is beautiful and elegant. The top part of the duvet is the pattern and the underside is plain gray/silver. The patterned side is very soft with a slight sheen. However the plain silver underside is not as soft, and not impressive (but nobody really sees that part). You'll definitely want to iron it after washing. It gets pretty wrinkled, but that's been true of all luxury bedding I've purchased. The color is definitely silver and you may want to add some other colored pillows or something, if you don't want it all neutral. I have found some random threads coming off some of the seams, but nothing that affects quality. Overall, would recommend. I guess for the price, I was expecting something out of this world (ha!) but it's still very nice.

Being 100% E cotton, will this wrinkle badly? Cleaning?
I spent a lot of money on a different duvet that I love, but it looks terrible all the time because it wrinkles so badly,even if I took the time to press it. Definitely couldn't put it back on the bed just out of the washer/dryer. I don't want to make that mistake again!
It will wrinkle after washing. I washed mine on cold and dried on low heat, and definitely needed to iron it. But that's been true of ALL luxury bedding I've purchased. However, it does not get wrinkled again after I've put it back on the bed and used it. So, once you've ironed it, you should be good, until you wash it again. For me, it is worth it, but I'm already used to ironing my really nice sheets.

Beauty Test Drive: Revlon Balm Stain
I am very possibly a lip beauty product hoarder. Alas, that is not what we are here to discuss.
I'd long admired the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain at my local pharmacy, but I never felt justified in forking over $8 for yet another lip product. Then last weekend I lost my nerve and finally bought the shade Lovesick, a vibrant-but-not-clownish hot pink.
Price/Availability: $7.49, Target
Formula: Revlon's Balm Stain is really more like a lightly pigmented lipstick in crayon form. I'm not sure why they call it a "balm stain" because it's not very balm-like (which I take to mean slick or gooey) or stain-like (which I take to mean thin). It rolls on like a regular lipstick, just one that's not got as much pigment in it. The tube of color is retractable, so you don't need to mess with sharpeners.
Wear Time: Revlon promises the Balm Stain stays on for 12 hours and while I can't vouch for 12 hours, I can say mine lasted about eight hours including lunch before I needed a touch up. I was expecting that I'd need to go to the ladies' room and reapply after I scarfed my quiche yesterday, but nope! Plus, none of it came off on my teeth all day.
Overall: As someone with and on-again-off-again relationship with lipstick, I'm happy when I find new lip products that allow me to skirt that whole issue. I still prefer lip balms if I want a balm (MOR and Boots Extracts Almond are the best, in my opinion), though. I have dry skin and even drier lips, so this Balm Stain does not do anything to nourish them.
That said, I've been carrying the Balm Stain around in my purse all week and it always gives me a little joy to see it and reapply. I will most certainly buy Balm Stains again, although perhaps in other colors, since the hot pink one I purchased feels like a bit much sometimes! Fortunately it comes in 12 colors from pink to cranberry to orange, so there's plenty of (inexpensive!) testing to do.

Chapter Eight The Chase Begins
That did it. Robert pushed Kristen back and crouched to face Cam, snarling. The others rushed back. Peter crouched down, trying to keep Robert back. Kellan, Nikki, Ashley and Jackson crouched down to stop Cam from springing. Elizabeth got in front of Kristen protecting her. "A human?" asked Edi, as he and Rachelle rushed back. Rachelle crouched down as if to help Cam. Edi didn't crouch far down as Cam and Rachelle. Looking around and spotted Kristen. Kristen was terrified. Both Robert and Cam didn't relax. Cam was staring at Robert and then over him at Kristen. "The girl is with us. I think it best if you leave" said Peter. Rachelle was staring at Kristen as well. No one relaxed their position. Kristen was getting very frightened now. "I can see the game is over. We'll go now" said Edi and started to back away with his hands up. Robert and Cam still didn't relax. "Cam" said Edi, looking at him and still backing away. Cam stood up, looked at Kristen and started to turn away. Rachelle stood up with a hiss. Cam took another look at Kristen as he put his arm around Rachelle's shoulders. Edi turned around and the three of them walked away, disappearing into the woods.
Once they had gone, Peter, Kellan, Nikki, Robert, Ashley and Jackson stood up. Robert looked like something was very wrong. "Get Kristen out of here. Go" said Peter and turned Robert around. Elizabeth went to stand next to Peter. Kristen looked into Robert's eyes frightened. Robert took Kristen by the arm and they hurried towards the jeep. Once at the jeep, Robert opened the passenger door, got Kristen inside and tried to put her belt on. Kristen grabbed it and did it herself. "Ok, I've got it! I've got it! I'm all right!" cried Kristen. Robert shut the door and hurried to the driver's door. As he climbed in, Kristen removed his cap and looked at him horrified. Robert started the engine up. "What, now he's coming after me?" asked Kristen. The jeep sped into the woods towards the town. As they raced along either of them spoke for a while. "Listen to me. Cam is a tracker. The hunt is his obsession. I read his mind. My reaction on the field set him off. I just made this his most exciting game ever. He's never gonna stop" said Robert in a loud voice. "What should we do?" asked Kristen. "We have to kill him. Rip him apart and burn the pieces" replied Robert. Kristen suddenly realized that she didn't know where they were going. "Where we going?" she asked getting frightened. "Away from Forks. We'll get a ferry to Vancouver" replied Robert. "I have to go home. Now. You have to take me home" said Kristen. "You can't go home. He's gonna trace your scent there. It's the first place he's gonna look" said Robert. Kristen suddenly remembered Billy. "But my dad is there. We..." said Kristen. "It doesn't matter!" said Robert. Kristen couldn't believe he just said that. "Yes, it does! He could get killed because of us!" she said, getting angry. "Just let me get you out of here first, all right?" asked Robert. "It's my dad! We have to go back! We'll figure a way to lead Cam away somehow. I don't know. But we have to do something" replied Kristen. Robert thought about it. Somewhere behind them, Cam was following at a run.
Billy was lying with his eyes closed on the sofa. Kristen came through the front door angry. Billy opened his eyes and looked up. "Robert, I said leave me alone" shouted Kristen. "Kristen, don't do this, please" begged Robert. "It's over! Get out!" shouted Kristen slamming the door and rushing upstairs. Billy jumped off the sofa and followed her. "Hey, hey, hey, hey. Kristen? What's going on?" he asked. "I just gotta get out of here. I'm leaving now" replied Kristen, slamming her bedroom door shut. Robert was already there. He had a bag out for her piling clothes in. "Hey" whispered Kristen, coming to the bed and throwing her coat in. There was a knock on the door. "Kristen?" called Billy. "What am I gonna say to him? I can't hurt him" said Kristen. "Kristen, what's going on?" called Billy. "You just have to" said Robert. She looked at him. "I'll be down at the truck" said Robert. Kristen nodded and Robert disappeared. She picked up a small bag, opened the door and walked passed him into the bathroom. "Did he hurt you?" asked Billy. Kristen went to the bathroom cupboard and started to put her things into the bag. "No" she replied. "Break up with you or something?" asked Billy. She closed the cupboard and walked back to her room. "No, I broke up with him" she said and shut the door in Billy's face. "I thought you liked him" said Billy. Kristen opened the door again and went back to the bathroom. "Yeah, that's why I have to leave. I don't want this. I have to go home" she said. Billy was confused. "Home? Your... Your mum's not even in Phoenix" he said. "She'll come home. I'll call her from the road" said Kristen. She went to her room, picked up her bags and went downstairs. Billy followed her. "You're not gonna drive home right now. You can sleep on it. If you still feel like going in the morning, I'll take you to the airport" he said. "No. I want to drive. It'll give me more time to think. I mean, if I get really tried, I'll pull into a motel. I promise" said Kristen going into the kitchen. "Look, Kristen, I know I'm not that much fun to be around, but I can change that. We can do more stuff together" said Billy. Kristen looked at him and knew she have to hurt him. "Like what? Like watch baseball on the flat-screen? Eat at the diner every night? Steak and cobbler? Dad, that's you. That's not me" she said. She walked past him to the front door and Billy followed. "Kristen, come on, I just... I just got you back" said Billy. Kristen froze, knowing she had to hurt him more. "Yeah, and, you know, if I don't get out now, then I'm gonna be stuck here like Mom" she said. That did it. Billy froze. Kristen opened the door, walked out and slammed it behind her.
At the truck, Kristen threw her suitcase into the back and got in. The truck started up and backed out. Cam had been watching and listening from behind a tree. The truck drove away and Kristen was holding back tears. Suddenly, there was a bang on her door, she jumped and looked over. It was only Robert. "Your father's gonna forgive you" he said. Quickly Kristen turned back to the road. "Why don't you let me drive?" asked Robert, opening the door. Kristen moved over, keeping her hands on the wheel until Robert was in. "He won't. You should've seen his face. I told him the same thing that my mom told him when she was leaving him" she said, the tears were coming. "It's the only way he'd let you go" said Robert. Kristen shook her head and closed her eyes for a minute. "Just don't worry about him now. He's safe. Cam's following us" said Robert. Kristen looked at him. A loud bang made Kristen jump and look behind them, gasping. "Oh, God" said Kristen looking at him. "It's just Kellan" said Robert. Kristen looked back just in time to see Kellan jumping into the back. "Ashley is in the car behind us" said Robert. Kristen looked back to see Kellan's jeep was right behind them.

Atlanta Symphony To Perform All-Beatles Concert, 7/21
The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will perform with Classical Mystery Tour - a popular Beatles tribute band - at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park on Saturday, July 21, 2012, at 8:00 p.m. Guest conductor Martin Herman, who provided all of the orchestral transcriptions for the Classical Mystery Tour show, will lead the Orchestra in the all-Beatles program.
The four Beatles look- and sound-alikes of Classical Mystery Tour, who starred in the Broadway show Beatlemania, will recreate the excitement of a Beatles concert by performing more than 20 hits by the legendary British group. The Los Angeles Times called the show "more than just an incredible simulation... the swelling strings and soaring French horn lines gave Saturday's live performance a high goose-bump quotient... the crowd stood and bellowed for more."
Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park is a not-for-profit performance venue owned and operated by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. This summer marks the Orchestra's fifth season at the Amphitheatre.

THE management committee of the British Speedway Promoters' Association has this afternoon given Poole Pirates the green light to replace the injured Darcy Ward with club asset and 2012 world champion Chris Holder.
Holder is scheduled to cover for his fellow Turbo Twin in the Pirates one-to-seven for 28 days while Ward recovers from a broken thumb, concussion and soft tissue damage in his left knee, which he sustained in a collision with Martin Smolinski in the New Zealand Grand Prix on Saturday.
After the month is up, Poole are expected to bring back Ward and revert to their original line-up, provided the two-time world under-21 champion is fit.
Pirates promoter Matt Ford said: "It's a super feeling to welcome Chris back and I know Poole fans will be delighted with the news.
"Chris's inclusion will enable Darcy to take his time with his recovery and not rush back before he is fully ready."
Pirates skipper Ward yesterday gained a second opinion on his injuries from doctors in Poland and will not undergo surgery on his thumb - the advice given to him by medics in Auckland.
Holder, based in Ringwood, was an interested spectator as Pirates defeated Eastbourne 52-37 in their Elite League opener at Wimborne Road on Wednesday.
Ford had previously admitted that the Torun, Piraterna and Outrup star was lacking equipment in this country, but it now appears that Holder will be able to overcome that issue.
The 26-year-old Aussie is due to make his return to the Poole side on Monday, when Neil Middleditch's men take on Coventry in front of the Sky Sports cameras (8pm).

Special to the Daily Herald
Three Harker Heights High School orchestra players earned All-Region honors, the most ever for a Killeen Independent School District program that's growing from the elementary level on up.
Sophomore Natalie Colon received a place on the region wide orchestra for the first time this year, joining junior Preston Patterson and senior Kelsey Hudson, who earned spots for the second time.
All three are viola players. Patterson took the fifth seat. Colon earned the ninth seat. Hudson took the 10th seat.
Orchestra conductor Jeremy Cameron said the preparation for the competition started in the summer and that the music they played was professional caliber.
He was pleased that 28 of his students auditioned for the high-ranking orchestra.
The three students who made the cut said they practiced a lot and took private lessons to achieve the high status.
"It was nerve racking," Hudson said, explaining that they played excerpts from several pieces in front of five judges.
"I was very shocked I made it as high as I did," Patterson said.
Colon said she was pleased to make all-region on her first attempt and said she had not auditioned for an honor orchestra since seventh grade.
All three spoke highly of their time in orchestra and said they hoped the program would continue to grow and attract new students.
Hudson started in orchestra as a second-grader at Mountain View Elementary School. Colon started as a fifth-grader at Mountain View.
Patterson started in seventh grade at Union Grove Middle School.
All of KISD's orchestra students will perform in winter concerts this week.
On Monday, the district's three middle school programs from Union Grove, Liberty Hill and Eastern Hills will perform in a combined orchestra at 6:30 p.m. at Harker Heights High School.
Also Monday, the district's two Harker Heights High School symphony orchestras will perform at 8 p.m. at Harker Heights High School. On Thursday, KISD's five elementary school orchestras will perform at 7 p.m. at Harker Heights High Schools. The elementary school programs are at Mountain View, Nolanville, Skipcha, Harker Heights and Timber Ridge.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
I am online and happy to help you with your question today. How long has this bump been present? Does it hurt? Does it move under the skin? Does the overlying skin look normal?
it has benn there for about 5 months, it does not hurt when i move it but when i put my palm and push it hurts
How large is it?
inch wide and about 1- 1.5 inch long
And, just so I understand, it is under the skin, overlying the ribs, you can move it around without pain, the skin looks normal over it and it has been there for a while, a year or more, without any large changes?
Do I have it right so far?
5 months
Oh ya, and your doctor has examined it and doesn't seen concerned and is refusing to do any other workup....right. OK. 5 months;
yes, when i depress the rib cage it hurt
Ok. Got it. You know, in the USA a doctor would be happy to image this for you.....Medicine sure is different in Canada :(
Well, I don't think that this bump is anything to worry about from what you have told me. As a surgeon, it sounds like you have a lipoma which is a benign (non cancerous) mass that is made of fatty (adipose) tissue. They are very common and can occur anywhere on your body.
Here is a good webpage on this topic:
Does this make sense to you?
No treatment or further imaging is necessary and you should be OK
It's safe for you to press the positive feedback button now if you so desire. And, never fear, even after you press that button I don't go up in a puff of smoke -- I'll still be right here to continue helping you at no additional charge :-)
I see that you are offline. I'll switch over to the Q&A system. This system works a lot like 'text messaging' but an email is sent to each of us anytime something is posted to this thread. We can continue to work on your question there..... :)

When it comes to great food, there are few places on our planet more celebrated than Italy. But if your idea of a classic Italian meal is spaghetti, pizza pie and cannoli, you're in for a big surprise. Get ready for an awesome adventure as Jeff Corwin explores the other side of Italian cuisine and tastes the beauty in the bizzare. Extreme Cuisine with Jeff Corwin: Italy airs on Cooking Channel September 9th at 8pm ET.
The photo above was taken at the picturesque medieval hill town in northern Abruzzo called Castel del Monte. You can't tell from the photo but the cheese is formagio marchetto, which means a slice of it is swarming with maggots. To make it, sheeps milk sits to curdle and the curd is formed into wheels. The wheels are placed in a cool, dark cellar where cheese flies (Piophila casei) lay eggs in the cheese. The eggs hatch into maggots which can be eaten with the cheese… if you're adventurous like Jeff Corwin.
That's only the beginning of his extreme adventure.

WICHITA, Kansas (CBS/AP) The case is being called the doctor wife conspiracy, but prosecutors say no matter what you call it, what Dr. Stephen Schneider and his wife, Linda, did was against the law.
On Thursday, a jury agreed, sending the couple to jail for conspiring to profit from illegally prescribing painkillers at a clinic linked to 107 overdoses, 68 of them deadly.
Schneider, 56, ran the Schneider Medical clinic near Wichita. His wife worked as a nurse.
Linda Schneider's lawyer said his client, who often dealt with chronic pain sufferers, is the real victim.
"Most doctors will look at this and think ... 'I am board certified. I have been trained. I can trust all my patients,"' Byers said. "And then the DEA comes through kicking their door, in ninja masks, guns in their faces - and they go away for 20 to life."
The pair has not yet been sentenced. They hugged in the courtroom shortly before they were taken into custody.
U.S. Attorney Lanny Welch had little sympathy for the couple.
"The abuse of prescription drugs is a serious national public health concern," he said in a statement. "The evidence in this case of patients suffering from overdose and death points to the fact that when prescription painkillers are unlawfully prescribed, they can be as dangerous as illegal drugs."

The Barbadian singer's 77 videos have a total of 3.784 billion views, 2 million more than the view number of the 79 videos which belong to the 'Baby' singer.
Rihanna beats Justin Bieber as the most viewed artist on YouTube. On Tuesday morning, June 18, the 77 videos on the "Diamonds" singer's VEVO channel have a total of 3.788 billion views while 79 videos on Bieber's VEVO channel have 2 million less views.
The unfortunate news for Beliebers may happen since Rihanna has a larger number of subscribers compared to Bieber. The Barbadian beauty has 8.734 million fans who subscribe to her channel to check out her music while Bieber has "only" 4.954 fans who do so.
The YouTube's third most-viewed artist is PSY. The South Korean rapper, who found fame after his "Gangnam Style" video went viral on YouTube, has a total of 3.1 billion views. Other big draws are Eminem with 2.4 billion, Lady GaGa with 2.3 billion and Shakira with 2 billion.
Despite his dropping popularity on the video sharing website, Bieber is still unbeatable when it comes to the number of fans who follow him on Twitter. The 19-year-old pop star, who overtook GaGa back in January as the most followed person on the micro-blogging site, is the first person to surpass 40 million followers.
