MicroPure 1.2.3
Glistening-free hydrophobic acrylic IOL
Glistenings or commonly called fluid-filled microvacuoles form within certain IOL materials and can develop in various shapes, sizes, and density. Some IOLs on the market develop glistenings after implantation which can impact on the quality of vision.
MicroPure 1.2.3 is guaranteed 100% glistening-free thanks to
- lathe-cutting process instead of the cast-molding process;
- packaging in water for steam sterilization which prevents major conditioning changes during implantation and avoids any toxicity;
- equilibrium of water content in the material.
1.2.3 preloaded injection system for easy 2.2mm injection
The MicroPure 1.2.3 lens is delivered preloaded in a cartridge, which is simply clipped to the 1.2.3 single-use injector.
The 1.2.3 preloaded injection system requires no lens handling which ensures perfect control of asepsis and makes lens injection comfortable and reproducible.

DD 13 months had a nasty cold three weeks ago. I know a cold has to run its course. It seemed to get better about two weeks in then the crazy snot started. Tons and tons and tons of heavy yellow mucus. I suctioned, used saline, hot steam...nothing helped clear this snot. It got so bad at three weeks DD stopped nursing cause she couldn't breathe. I called the dr, he saw her, said double ear infection.
She showed no signs of this so I missed it all this time????
He gave us Amoxicillen. It has been a week. She shows no signs of improvement. I actually believe she is in worse pain. She doesn't sleep longer than 30 minutes at a time. When she is asleep she moans and moans, and then cries. I can nurse her back to sleep but it starts again 30 minutes after I lay her down. This has gotten worse over the past week.
The dr said Amoxicillen would help within 48 hours. If I suction out the snot she screams bloody murder. It must be hurting her ears even more to suction??
Oh, last night I did try Children's tylenol. It didn't help at all. But she's seen the bottle and keeps saying "that, that, that!"
I'm feeling like a failure. What home remedies can we try?!?!
Hi there! I am not aware of homeopathic remedies for ear pain/infection, though I am certain they exist. If the Amox didn't help dramatically within a couple of days, it will not help. My DS1 had awful recurrent ear infections for a couple of years until we gave up and got him tubes...absolutely the best thing (for us) we did. That said, you clearly are not at that stage. My advice would be to call the doctor, get your child in, and see what is said. Not all antibiotics work for all ear infections, and children (and adults) respond differently to treatments, whether they be natural or prescription. I know that most people on MDC support natural remedies and I think that is usually a good thing, but in your daughter's case, it sounds like a return to the dr. and a different prescription might be indicated. And you are NOT a failure...but it is so scary to see your LO in pain and to not know what to do. Oh--also--our ped. said for severe pain that Advil & Tylenol could be staggered (meaning give one, say, at noon, the other at 2 or 3, then a few hours later give the first one again). Good luck and best health to her.
I got tired of my signature, but I still love my children and husband and miss my little brother.
GARLIC OIL. Just cut a couple cloves of raw garlic and steep them in a little dish of olive oil. We use an empty tincture dropper ( an empty medicine dropper would work) and put 3 or so drops in the ear, with him laying on his side, and let the oil work it's way in. Once you feel they've had time to soak in, flip her over to switch ears. This is highly effective, it's soothing to the pain, and has strong antibacterial/anti-infective properties. Let it steep AT LEAST half an hour, but the longer the better- after a day or few, it will be nice and potent. You can tell be the smell.
My son was plagued with ear infections- solidly for almost 2 months, and they wanted to put tubes in his ears. He was miserable, and often fevered, and the antibiotics just gave him diarrhea, without solving the problem. I asked for 2 weeks to try to clear them on my own, and if that didn't work we would do the tubes. SO........ we fixed it.
Now he asks for the garlic oil whenever his ears start to bother him (usually teething related)- even when all he could do was point- as we now keep a garlic oil dish.
Also, try propping her up on pillows to sleep- she is old enough for this, and laying flat builds the pressure in the ears = pain.
I am confident this will fix your problem- AS LONG AS THE MEMBRANES HAVEN'T RUPTURED. i.e.- don't use any kind of drops if his ear drum has burst.
Try it, I think you'll be really happy.
(Colloidal Silver works, too for infection, but it's expensive and not effective on the pain. I used to alternate them at the hight of the infections)
Good Luck and Blessings!
RootsAlive--whoa, that sounds awesome! I don't know why some kids are prone to ear infections and some not, but the advice you gave sure sounds good. One quick question--how do you know whether the eardrum has ruptured if you don't have access to an otoscope (if that is how it is spelled).
I got tired of my signature, but I still love my children and husband and miss my little brother.
Similason makes homeopathic earache drops. I used it recently with my DD when she had an ear infection. The Tylenol did nothing, but I swear she stopped crying as soon as I put the drops in her ears. I got it at CVS, but I had to ask at the pharmacy counter where it was located.
Thanks mamas. I didn't realize that not all antibiotics work the same for each person. This is her first ear infection, and her first round of antibiotics. I'm going to take her back to the dr on Monday, but would like to try the garlic this week end. Anything to ease her pain. I'm also wondering how one would know if the eardrum has ruptured? I'm assuming that pain would be so incredible she'd already be in the emergency room?
Can someone tell me if we should continue to suction her nose knowing that is putting additional pressure on her ears?
Also, Rootsalive, how OFTEN do you use the garlic drops?
Thank you all. I feel like there are several roads to go down to help her, poor baby.

If her ear drum ruptures you will see fluid draining from her ear. She may or may not experience more pain with a rupture, since sometimes the release of pressure actually feels better. (Even as an adult I have chronic ear infections, and have ruptured my drums multiple times.)
I read that you tried tylenol, you could try motrin as well. Not natural, but a different med might help.
Posting quickly - haven't read other replies, so this might've already been said. I'm not sure what to do for current ear pain (except motrin), but when she is over this cold, do try and put her on Probiotics. Probiotics were recommended by my pediatrician. Comes in a powder form that is tasteless so can be mixed w/ water or milk. Helps the body fight colds and illnesses better and studies have shown that kids who get earaches from colds seem to get less earaches from colds when on Probiotics.
Good luck. Hope your little one feels better soon!
No advice on the earache mama, but I did want to suggest a nosefrida for suctioning. It doesn't need to be inserted in the nose (held next to it) and you can control the suction so as to be bit more gentle, and might possibly cause less discomfort.
Good luck, I hope your LO is feeling better soon!
L, student nurse and married to A, my union man. Happy parents to little S!
I used to have chronic ear infections and my mom would put a hot, damp wash cloth on my ear. I would lay it on my pillow and then sleep on it. It didn't completely eliminate the pain but it sure helped a lot! Hope your DC is feeling much better very soon!!!
I would call the doctor. Let the doctor evaluate her symptoms and if she still has an infection ask for a new prescription to be called in and get the first avalible appointment for a visual on the ears. It could still be an ear infection, she could have strep, lots of possiblities. I think garlic mullen oil and simalsain ear drops are great but if your child is still fighting an infection they are not going to cure it. My main concern would be hearing loss. In my area we have a pediatric urgent care, not sure if that is an option for you.
You would probably notice fluid draining from her ears if the membrane had ruptured, and often a DECREASE in pain d/t/ less pressure.
We use the drops 3 x a day. I wouldn't do it anymore than 4, you wouldn't want to use too much. And not to contradict PbjMama, but after the antibiotics (2 different kinds) the garlic oil is the ONLY thing that got rid of the ear infections (without diarrhea!!!) and NO TUBES!!!!
Stick with 3 times a day.
After a couple months of ear infections, and multiple PEDs visits, since we started with the oil, we haven't been back ( for ear trouble, anyway) , and it's been almost a year. If I'd realized that it was ear infections to begin with, I would have done it before the antibiotics, but his main symptom was fussiness and fever, then we got scared when she said double ear infections. We took the drugs hoping that it would hurry up and be done. Nope.
Even now, I have a bowl of garlic oil in the kitchen. We use it when he's fussy & tugging on his ear, or when we know he's teething hard (since he's prone to ear infections). We give it to him when he asks as well. He knows it helps.
You should look up garlic and/or garlic oil. We use it for a lot of things. It has amazing healing and anti-infective properties. I think you'll fin it greatly beneficial.
Be Well!
Thanks for all your posts, Dear Mamas.
I gave her some tylenol before bed, and waited until she was asleep to put some garlic oil in her ears. I hope I didn't over do it! I could see a little just kinda sitting in there as she was laying on her side. I will definitely get her in on Monday for a follow up. Hearing loss is a huge concern. DH's brother got an infection in his ear as an adult and loss 95% of his hearing. This isn't something I take lightly, so again, thank you for your support and help. I feel so helpless.
We elevated her mattress tonight. I did not suction her nose. I do have the frieda too, but she reacts like it's as bad as the suction bulb. She's been so tortured by me trying to get the snot out of her nose that even a tissue sends her running out of the room.
Thanks for the reminder about probiotics. We were using the powder frequently but I started to sub in flax seeds or wheat germ instead over the last month to increase fiber and increase omegas.
Motherhood. . .it's complicated.
Much love and respect.
I was going to say garlic oil. We had a cold/flu thing where even the adults had ear pain... it is no fun!
Even though I am an adult, my doctor says I have the ears of a child. They wont put tubes in my ears because they are afraid I will lose my hearing if they try again. So I am the Queen of home remedies.
I second the garlic oil. I usually just put whole cloves in my ear wrapped in tissue, but for a child you would want the garlic oil. It really helps!
I have found that the OTC pain relief drops actually cause me more pain. So keep that in mind.
When my ear drum has burst, there was a ton of yellow/brown liquid coming out and no, it did not really hurt.
Sometimes I need an antibiotic/ear drop combo to get rid of a bad infection. Also it turns out that I am allergic to dogs and cats. That is the main link for my infections.
HI Mamas,
We raised DD's mattress last night by 15 degrees, and I used the garlic oil. She woke up twice instead of every 90 minutes, so I feel like the garlic oil must have helped. I'm trying it again tonight.
I'm still taking her to the dr tomorrow to check out those ears. No drainage ever so no eruption, but I'm assuming the antibiotics should have kicked in before last night.
Thank you again for your posts, suggestions, and well wishes. I appreciate your kindness and expertise.
We use garlic oil too. If you don't want to make your own, Whole Foods has a pre-made version from Herbs for Kids in their natural remedies section (or whatever they call it).
In my younger dd, heavy snot is a sign of sinus congestion that puts pressure on the ears and prevents fluid from draining properly. In cold and flu season, we garlic her up pretty much the minute she has a snotty fever, whether she's complaining of ear pain or not. Once an ear infection has been diagnosed, we use the garlic and the antibiotics together.
I hope your little one is feeling better soon.
Breastmilk in the ears perhaps?
Glad to hear the garlic and inclined bed are helping, I hope she is healed soon.
Are you able to nurse her upright? Perhaps she could sit on your lap or upright in a baby carrier, that may be a more comfortable angle to nurse right now for her.
Dr. Sears has a good page on ear infection (mentions garlic oil!!) http://www.askdrsears.com/html/8/T081600.asp
Well wishes.

Early enrollee RS Freshman expected to make an impact on the Spartan secondary at safety
Please attempt to avoid glass houses and pots/kettles
Do we have to?
You mean acting shocked (SHOCKED!!) that Mark Dantonio could recruit such lackluster characters that they would leave before even playing in their first game? Why would that be a glass houses situation?
or it didn't happen.
and he was not on their depth chart. I believe it's on the premium message boards as well. However the fact that the mods @ Spartan Tailgate haven't nuked it (and they're ridiculously cautious on such) is very telling
I'm assuming we're talking "Not That Pat White" so what's up with the two N's? What am I missing?
No, Not That Pat White?
I assumed it was for "No, Not That Pat White"
EDIT: BrayBray1 beat me to it
Not Nearly (as good as) That Pat White
Depends on what you look for. At Michigan State, nerd-punchery is a way more valued skill than touchdownzzz.
No Not That Pat White?
start our own list of players that have been "dantonio'd"...
FWIW both Rivals and Scout had him as 3 Star WR prospect.
who was playing Safety exceptionally well in a secondary that's about 2 degrees better than UM's pre-Woolfolk. was likely to start or see the field regularly as a 2-deep
#1) Another MSU thread? Really?
#2) Google reveals that:
"White was passed in camp by true freshman Isaiah Lewis and was not in the two deep at the end of camp."
So... no. This is more like Ray Vinopal leaving (no offense to him) than Woolfolk.
There will be an article in tomorrow's Freep citing that, before NNTPW left the team, Dantonio made sure Pat visited with the Team Chaplin, and had an intervention together with the young, troubled lad's parents before deciding, with a broken heart, to let him go.
The new Big Ten season ender to be first one to a thousand passing yards wins.
UM and MSU are both suffering from... White Flight.
(since i cant embed on my phone,imagine an embedded picture of Horatio Caine putting his sunglasses on. Yeeeaaahhh.)
Is this in the Detroit papers? If not, do you think it will be?
We know it would be on page 1 of the Freep if he left Michigan.
Didn't need him, he's fat, lazy, takes plays off, couldn't handle Mannie's training regimine, cleaning out the deadweight, no family values, had to be handled with kid gloves
Anyone have the definition of hypocrisy handy?
...the family values line should give it away as mocking us.
mgohumor must be broken today.
running off his players.

For those who don't know, Burnout was an excellent game for crashes -- big, burly, spinning, flipping, vehicular collisions. In fact, a major part of the game's inherent fun is trying to crash. Which is why this game is programmed to show off nastier, more painful, wincingly wild crashes. The vehicle deformation system is apparently brand new, giving players the ability to wipeout like never before.
After spending a few hours playing a pre-Beta version (featuring three modes of play and about seven selectable cars), we were able to achieve some spectacularly insane crashes, even in this pre-beta version. Our little student driver car hit a bus going full-steam ahead, and spun into the air, spinning at least five times, followed up by a lengthy wind-down on the pavement, spotlighting broken bits, working shocks, and a few extra hits by oncoming traffic that added insult to injury. It feels a little like the way in which NFL Blitz players jump on you after you're down.
The opponent AI does a great job of mucking up their own cars, too. I have watched as they hit turbo and then proceeded to ram into oncoming traffic, and I passed them as they flipped and landed in ruins. Just today, I headed into a five-car pileup in a tunnel, in which my car hit two others in front of me, and then two others rammed into us from behind, causing major havoc and quite a traffic jam in the process. Criterion was quick to point out it's worked hard on the AI routines, and not just the other AI racers, but the traffic itself. The traffic system is smarter than before, communicating with you in newer ways. Cars honk, flash their lights at you, and perform little dodges at the last second to steer clear of you.
The three different tracks available on this pre-beta version include all new courses, Highway 188 Loop (a familiar-feeling highway loop), Big Surf Shores (an imaginary West Coast, Highway 1-ish coastal route), and Crystal Summit Vista (a mountainous course, cold with falling snow, uphill snaking turns, and a ski-style recreation atmosphere). The designs feature snaking turns, wide-outs for long, poorly taken turns, and of course, lots of traffic. There are a good amount of four-way intersections, the kind that promote the most intense style of crashes, but not as many as I had hoped; perhaps there are more in the other dozens of tracks.
The modes of play in this pre-beta version are Offensive Driving 101 (a new mode that explains in detail the key points behind Burnout 2, and how to excel), Single Race (checkpoint racing), and Pursuit (in which you take on the role of a policeman in a police car chasing speeding driver). Players can vie against the AI or if they feel restless, they can compete against a friend in any of these modes, including Pursuit. Since Pursuit focuses on chasing and evading, this mode is sure to engage players long into the night with spirited rivalries. Other special areas of concern include a Custom Series Mode, which enables a moderate amount of customization. Players can modify their vehicle body kits and paste on decals, too. The full game will feature more modes of play.
As for how it feels, Burnout 2 is blazingly fast, solidly built and instantly accessible. If you have ever played a racing videogame before, you'll instantly feel at ease with this. I don't always like playing in the first-person perspective (i.e. from the driver's seat), but with Burnout 2 it's really the best view, giving you an incredible adrenaline rush and a sense of speed that's perhaps one of the most intense I've experienced on the system. The cars all accelerate with ridiculous speed, and they all handle remarkably well, regardless of the model. The power slides are still quite manageable, though they do require timely touches on the brakes here and there. For the most part, these cars hug the road amazingly well. I'd like to see how the newer cars function, especially the hotrods and 1920s cars. If you look carefully, they are in the video we captured, vying again me in AI form.
What all of this detail, speed, and decadently good fun add up to is one smoking arcade racer. Criterion's diligence in taming the PlayStation 2 engine truly shows in this build, causing IGN office onlookers to stare and wait their turns to play. Burnout 2 really is a recipe for success: Its mix of blazingly fast cars, gorgeous environments, dangerous tracks and extra goodies make it the arcade racer to contend with this fall. Call us suckers for good arcade racing, but just wait until you play it. You'll soon be singing the same tune.

Mark Wahlberg 9/11
January 19, 2012 by staff
Mark Wahlberg 9/11, ACTOR Mark Wahlberg quickly apologised today for claiming he would have subdued the 9/11 hijackers. "If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn't have went down like it did," Wahlberg said in an interview released today by Men's Journal. "There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, 'OK, we're going to land somewhere safely, don't worry.'"
His comment drew a quick and stern rebuke from the widow of a man who fought the 9/11 terrorists on Flight 93, causing the jet to crash in a Pennsylvania field instead of reaching its intended target in Washington, DC.
"Does Mark Wahlberg have a pilot's licence?" Deena Burnett-Bailey said to TMZ. "Then I think hindsight is 20/20 and it's insignificant to say what you would have done if you weren't there."
Burnett-Bailey has said her husband, Thomas Burnett, called her from the plane and said he and two other men planned to storm the cckpit.
Burnett-Bailey's response prompted a swift apology from the 40-year-old star of the new box office hit Contraband, who conceded to TMZ that he had crossed the line.
"To speculate about such a situation is ridiculous to begin with," Wahlberg said. "I deeply apologise to the families of the victims that my answer came off as insensitive, it was certainly not my intention."
It is not the first time Wahlberg has expressed his anguish over the fateful series of events. The actor was scheduled to be on one of the Boston-to-Los Angeles flights that crashed into the World Trade Center on 9/11. He changed his travel plans a week before and flew to Toronto for a film festival instead.
In 2006, he said, "We certainly would have tried to do something to fight. I've had probably over 50 dreams about it."

Just something I wrote the other day.
-In the core of the Quarantomb, postgame, with two young heroes, Hellai (HELL-ai) and Yhere (YEER).
-Walking along, come to the scene where the hero battled the Ragin' Contagion, Hellai trips over a metal plate-
Hellai: "What is this?"
Yhere: "Is that writing on it? What does it say?"
-Hellai crouches over and begins to read out the inscription-
Hellai: "Beware the metallic…curse?"
Yhere: "What does that mea"-
-Yhere is suddenly interrupted by the sound of rapid footsteps and ragged breathing, coming from the figure of a middle-aged man-
Mystery Man: "Why are you in here? It doesn't matter. Get out, before it claims you too!"
-The two companions begin to back up, away from the man, but stop in horror as the man trips over.-
Yhere: "His…his back… it's metal! His back is metal!"
Mystery Man: "Run…run before its too late…ru"-
-The man's voice is cut off as the metal growth on his back suddenly spreads, over most of his face. All that is left is the man's desperate eyes, then only the smooth, featureless expanse of shiny, grey metal as the man's face is consumed.-
Hellai: "I…I think I'm going to be sick."
-Hellai suddenly bends over. The noise of violent retching fills the chamber.-
Yhere: "Hellai? I think you should look at this."
-Hellai stands up straight and looks over to Yhere, then follows his gaze towards the metal corpse.-
Yhere: "What…what's happening to it?"
-The metallic corpse is bubbling, melting, into a puddle on the floor. A puddle with eyes. Suddenly, the puddle grows, inflates, bigger, bigger, with a shiny crown on top.-
Hellai: "It's a metal king slime!"
-Hellai steps back and unstraps the massive Cheiron's bow from his back. Yhere takes out his Sage's staff.-
Hellai: "Step back Yhere! Your spells don't wor-"
-Hellai's words are cut off as the massive metal king slime bounds forwards, a deep, resonating sound ringing through the chamber. Yhere lifts his hands, his staff in his left one, and utters the few syllables needed to cast his most powerful spell, Magic Blast. Purple clouds line the roof of the chamber and spew forth thousands of destructive bolts unto the metal king slime. It quivers, then slumps over, it's crown over it's eyes.-
Yhere: "It's dead! I killed it!"
-Yhere strides over and pokes the metal king slime with his wand. Suddenly, the metal king slime rightens itself, flicks back it's crown, and envelops Yhere in it's plentiful expanse."
Hellai: "Yhere? Oh, by the Almighty…"
-Hellai drops his bow and runs, in fear of the monster that had just killed his friend.-
This is just a possible post-game story, not really related to the main storyline of Dragon Quest IX in any other way than using some of the locations. Thanks for reading and message if you want a part two.

SUSSEX Inlet made its return to the Shoalhaven District Cricket Association second grade in the opening SDCA round of the 2016/17, with a valiant effort against Bomaderry.
Leading the charge were openers Sussex Inlet openers Jake Westley (70) and Kurt Regan (68), who shared a partnership of 135.
That total, at Sussex Inlet Oval, equalled the club record for that division.
The total it equalled had been established back in 1996-97, by Paul Daley (70) and Bruce Carter (47) against Central Districts.
Fourth grade also saw a club record partnership broken by Nowra's Darren Trewin (76) and Grahame Morris (68 not out) in the clash with Bay and Basin at the weekend.
They put on 149 runs for the fifth wicket at Added Area.
This total eclipsed the previous best for this side, which was 103 by Stuart Garrigan (66) and Chris Harding (44) against Berry-Shoalhaven Heads, back in 2001-02.

136 pages, 270 line illus
Author Bill Neal has weeded through the Latin words that describe and distinguish plants and flowers and compiled a single volume of select definitions and gardening lore. Narcissus bulbocodium or Narcissus cyclamineus? Isabellinus, iadinus, ianthinus? Basilaris or basilicus? Today's gardeners encounter Latin terms like these whenever they enter garden centres or pick up mail-order catalogues. They must still, of course, decide whether dahlias or peonies will best complete that floral border. But new questions in an increasingly technical vocabulary are sprouting up among perennial concerns and demanding attention from devoted gardeners. As Latin terms appear with increasing frequency in garden centres and on the pages of gardening catalogues, we need such brief, clear definitions for the finite number of Latin terms that combine to form the names of a seemingly infinite number of plant species. Equally welcome are the little-known horticultural facts and fables which fill the broad margins of every page. "Gardener's Latin" is a book for the gardener who needs to know that a plant with isabellinus (tawing yellow) on its nursery tag might not belong in a carefully planned ianthinus (violet-blue) border. Or that the ostensibly similar basilaris and basilicus mean 'base' and 'royal', respectively. Bill Neal leads us down the path from abbreviatus to zonatus, turning aside here and there along the way for glimpses at gardens and gardeners from Virgil to Vita Sackville-West, from Gertrude Jekyll to Gertrude Stein. Patches of garden lore and literature are scattered throughout the beds of definition: why Narcissus cyclamineus is a horticultural joke; why basil is the herb of dread and suspicion; why Cleopatra's asp arrives in a basket of figs whenever "Antony and Cleopatra" is performed. Whether it's dahlias or peonies that will best complete a garden, "Gardener's Latin" is the book to complete any gardener's bookshelf.
BILL NEAL (1951-91) was widely admired as a chef and author of three cookbooks. He was also well known as an avid gardener and edited a collection of gardening columns. BARBARA DAMROSCH is a professional landscape gardener who has written extensively about gardening. She is the author of The Garden Primer and Theme Gardens

As the Government is proposing to require each building to set up its own management body, this would be a good opportunity to revamp certain by-laws in order to facilitate their implementation.
For example, at the moment no action is taken about leaking air-conditioners until a complaint is lodged by a member of the public. When every building has its own management, the onus could be placed on the owners to eliminate this menace.
An inspection team from the Environmental Protection Department could occasionally patrol the street to ensure that each building was complying with the regulations.
In many countries, the owners/occupants of a building are responsible for keeping the pavement at the front and back of the building clean and obstruction-free.
However, in Hong Kong the only buildings that do this are the hotels and some of the large office blocks. The implementation of such a by-law here in Hong Kong would make a big difference to the standard of cleanliness and hygiene in our streets.
It would also make good economic sense in such a low-tax environment, as the volume of public services could be scaled back.
I am sure that your readers have other suggestions to add to mine.
When the occupants of every building in Hong Kong become financially responsible for whatever happens on their property, instead of leaving everything for the Government to take care of, as they do now, we will see the emergence of more committed and responsible citizens.

We spent the final three nights of our honeymoon at Nayara, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, the rooms were great (highlights included a hammock on the terrace, outdoor shower and jacuzzi, and an in-room DVD player for movies that you could check out from the front desk), and the food was delicious(we ate at the wine bar our final night - a five course tasting menu with wine pairings - and it was spectacular). We also loved how private the entire hotel felt - they have done a great job using the landscaping to make it feel like you're in the jungle and that you have complete privacy. Overall, one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had. I would definitely recommend it!

text: Show Hide image World 30 April 2009 The NS Profile: Mary Lou Jepsen The pioneering designer of the first cheap laptop for the developing world, she is determined to clo Sign up for our weekly email * These days, LCD screens are an inescapable part of the view: on computers, in televisions, as digital adverts, on mobile phones. But as ubiquitous as they are, the technology behind them is seldom thought of as revolutionary. However, Mary Lou Jepsen's innovations are the exception. As chief technology officer at the non-profit organisation One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), the pioneering screen designer created the first laptop for the developing world. The XO is the cheapest, least power-hungry notebook computer ever produced, a device that may eventually prove one of the most important educational tools of its time – and for which last year Time magazine named Jepsen one of the world's 100 most influential people. Along the way, her design sparked a mainstream computing revolution. Jepsen's primary intention was to "innovate at the bottom of the pyramid", creating a simple computer for educational use in impoverished areas. But it turned out that computer users in industrialised countries also wanted inexpensive, environmentally friendly laptops. The netbook was born. Just two years after the XO was first released, nearly every major PC brand is selling an inexpensive, low-performance mini-laptop, and analysts predict sales will have reached 50 million by the end of the year. "Every time I meet with the CEO of a big laptop company, they tell me they 'studied' my design," Jepsen has said. Now the chief executive of her own company, Pixel Qi, she is working on computer design developments that will potentially cut battery use in half, and is on the shortlist for the 2009 Time 100. How did screen design bring Jepsen to this point? The key is that in any laptop, the display is the most power-hungry component as well as the most expensive to produce. When Nicholas Negroponte, founder of MIT's Media Lab, first conceived the OLPC project in 2004, he had no intention of redesigning the laptop. His plan was to mass-produce a computer from components available, then sell them in large batches to the governments of developing countries for $100 each. But when he approached the Taiwan-based computer manufacturer Quanta for advice, Ted Chang, planning head of the Quanta Research Institute, told him to take another step back before he moved forwards. "We could point him to many contract manufacturers who knew how to assemble inexpensively, but we didn't see that as the key challenge," Chang explained to Willy Shih, a Harvard Business School professor who has studied the OLPC project. "OLPC needed somebody who knew how to design for low cost." Meanwhile, Mary Lou Jepsen was designing HDTVs for Intel. Brought up on a family farm in Connecticut, Jepsen first became involved with technology as a college student, spending the summer after her junior year test-driving submarines for the US Naval Underwater Systems Centre in her home state. By the time she joined Intel, she had already spent almost a decade running her own screen design company, MicroDisplay Corp. Before that – following a degree in art and electronic engineering at Brown University – she co-created the first holographic video system as part of her studies for a Master's at MIT. After a few brief appointments teaching computer science, she returned to Brown for a PhD in optical sciences. The decision to return to academia was a purely practical one; she has described the qualification as nothing more than "a stupid union card". Even so, it was a union card she made more effort than most to get. In the final year of the degree, a cancerous tumour was found on her pituitary gland. It was removed, and within six months she had completed her PhD and founded MicroDisplay Corp. Her body now produces no hormones, and so, without a strict regimen of a dozen pills a day to keep her levels stable, she could not survive. However, there is a plus side: jet lag does not affect her – which must be a bonus, because Pixel Qi is based in both Taipei and California. During her time at Intel she had become frustrated at producing high-spec products for "1 per cent of the population", she says, explaining that she had begun to make plans, independently of her interview for a job at MIT's Media Lab, to start a company designing screens for the developing world. "I decided to join with Nicholas the day after my interview," she says. Moving from California to Boston, she became OLPC's first employee. The project has been mired in controversy more or less ever since. Microsoft's Bill Gates was one of OLPC's earliest critics; Apple's Steve Jobs, Craig Barrett of Intel and Michael Dell also ridiculed it. "That got us press," Jepsen points out. Even the organisation's most basic aim has been challenged: in 2007, Nigeria's education minister of the time, Dr Igwe Aja-Nwachukwu, criticised the organisation, asking: "What is the sense of introducing One Laptop Per Child when they don't have seats to sit down and learn, when they don't have uniforms to go to school in, where they don't have facilities?" It is true that OLPC has never engaged with grander questions of educational infrastructure. Instead, it has concentrated on providing a resource that is arguably a lot more important than chairs: information. "The world's information is digital," Jepsen pointed out at ETech, the annual O'Reilly emerging technology conference, in March. "The web, the news, all of that is digital. And now . . . we have ten million books scanned. That was the last bastion of what was offline; it's now online and accessible." All of that information is available to the 1.6 billion of us with internet access – almost all of whom live in developed countries, a phenomenon known as the digital divide. According to a 2003 EU report, industrialised countries accounted for 88 per cent of internet users – and just 15 per cent of the world's population. But there is a more astonishing figure: 97 per cent of the world's adolescents live in developing countries. So, Jepsen told her ETech audience, "If you want to change the world . . . we need to figure out how to give these kids a chance." Making a laptop for the third world presented Jepsen with a completely novel set of considerations. The XO had to be more than ultra-cheap and durable; it had to be suitable for children whose access to electricity is intermittent, many of whom learn outdoors in hot, sunny climates. To this challenge, Negroponte says, "Mary Lou brought technical excellence and out-of-the-box thinking, fully prepared to use both to fly in the face of industry presumptions". Her resourceful design included open-source software and a low-performance microprocessor to keep costs down, and a flash memory – like the kind in a USB stick or MP3 player – which is cheap, low-energy, and difficult to break because it lacks moving parts. The XO was designed with antennae, letting the laptops connect to the internet by forming a "mesh network" with one another, so that, as Jepsen puts it, "if one laptop in the village is connected to the internet, they all are". But the most important innovations came with the laptop's screen. Jepsen has described her approach to the XO as "designing the computer kind of backwards". She points out that her specialism is unusual, even in that field: "I've found that people who design computers don't know a lot about displays." She designed the XO display with two modes: an "e-paper" mode for use in sunlight, with a high-resolution black-and-white image, and a colour mode, using a backlight at night or indoors. And she devised an LCD panel that can detect when an XO user is looking at a static image (such as a page of text) and switch off the main processor, thus saving electricity. This brilliantly original idea is largely why, when most laptops' power consumption is between roughly 10 and 45 watts, the XO uses about two. In November 2006, the first prototypes were completed. Kofi Annan had praised the project as an "expression of global solidarity", and 50 countries had made inquiries. Jepsen's innovative design received almost unanimous acclaim. OLPC, on the other hand, still had its troubles. The cost of the XO was still around $175 – unthinkably cheap by most measures, but still well above the $100 price tag OLPC had promised. Then, in March 2007, Intel launched its Classmate netbook, which it sold to countries including several OLPC had been focusing on – Nigeria, Brazil and Pakistan. In the ensuing spat, Negroponte took the XO into the US market, before Intel and OLPC briefly joined forces but then abandoned the joint project in early January 2008, each accusing the other of undermining its particular laptop. Meanwhile, the numbers of XOs being shipped were nowhere near what Negroponte had originally envisaged, and the organisation's move into the US market was not smooth. The availability of commercial netbooks inspired by Jepsen's original design had a significant effect on the XO's domestic sales. That same week of January 2008, Jepsen had announced she was leaving the project. "I miss OLPC, but my job was truly done," she says now. "I created the laptop against the odds . . . The best thing I can do to help OLPC is to continue to work where others aren't concentrating – to develop outdoor-readable and low-power screens." She is still involved with the organisation. "I just met with Nicholas last week. We are in close collaboration." And Negroponte remains bloody-mindedly cheerful about his project's future. "OLPC is on the cusp: 1.5 million laptops have been sold, 850,000 of which are already in the hands of kids in 31 countries." While critics point out that Intel have shipped twice as many laptops to the developing world, Jepsen supports Negroponte. "The key thing is, a million children now have laptops across the developing world that otherwise would not," she told ETech. "A million is a good start." Meanwhile, Jepsen is designing new products at Pixel Qi. "We are focused on the whole pyramid, not just the bottom of the pyramid, because this is about volume," she says. "If you can make a lot more of something, you can make it much more inexpensive." In many ways she feels her work at Pixel Qi is not a huge move away from OLPC. "We see strong potential to use screen technology to massively drive down the overall cost of a system so that many more people can cross the digital divide," she says. Jepsen admits the company has in some ways been a trying venture. "Perhaps the stupidest thing I have ever done is start a company in two cities, neither of which I lived in. From Boston, in the worst economic meltdown for 80 years, I started a company with dual headquarters in San Francisco and Taipei." And on top of the logistical difficulties, there is the economic climate, which has made it "very hard to do fundraising". The first proper test of Pixel Qi's mettle will come next month with the release of its 3Qi screen, a three-mode display that picks up where the XO's dual-mode screen left off. Jepsen also hopes to create a screen requiring no more than half the battery power of current models – which will be welcomed by commuting netbook users and children and teachers in areas of the world where electricity supply is minimal or unreliable. She is also planning a low-power TV for the Indian market in 2010. Competing with LCD is about more than picture quality, she says. "If you want to make something you can ship, you must consider the manufacturing infrastructure. LCD manufacturing infrastructure is, I believe, the most expensive ever created in the consumer electronics industry. To try to make a screen that needs a different manufacturing base is a bit like trying to make a computer chip and not using silicon." So, you may find your daily life peppered with LCD screens for some time yet. But Jepsen's efforts will mean that they are more environmentally friendly, cheaper to run and better to look at; and, more importantly, they should at some point be available to absolutely everybody.

Federal Funding Seems Likely for California High Speed Rail
"Transportation officials say that California's high-speed rail project seems to be on a fast track to a hefty federal contribution - perhaps as much as $15 billion to $20 billion."
"That optimism in the face of a dire economic outlook is the product of the priorities of President-elect Barack Obama's administration; the likelihood of a big federal infrastructure investment; growing concern over climate change; the volatility of gas prices; Californians' backing of the $10 billion high-speed rail bond measure and strong support for the project from the state's potent congressional delegation, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi."
"Building the San Francisco-to-Los Angeles and Anaheim line that will be the spine of the system will cost between $32.8 billion and $33.6 billion, according to the High Speed Rail Authority's business report. Extensions built later would cost another $12 billion. In addition to the $10 billion from state bond sales, the authority is counting on $12 billion to $16 billion in federal funds plus $6.5 billion to $7.5 billion in private investment and $2 billion to $3 billion in local contributions."
"Critics, during the campaign against state Proposition 1A, expressed skepticism about the plan's ability to attract federal funding during a recession. While most opponents now acknowledge that high-speed rail may capture billions from the new administration, they're still skeptical about the project's feasibility."

Belmont Park: Villanesca gets up to win Magnolia Jackson Stakes
ELMONT, N.Y. - Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin had simple instructions for Joel Rosario before his ride on Villanesca in Friday's $100,000 Magnolia Jackson Stakes at Belmont Park.
"Try to get to the winner's circle," McLaughlin said he told Rosario. "You're winning for everybody else. I'm not going to tell you to lay first or fourth."
Rosario did indeed follow instructions. Despite breaking last in the field of five and having a trio of horses in front of him approaching the quarter pole, Rosario swung Villanesca four-wide in upper stretch, and the pair ran down Expression to win the $100,000 Magnolia Jackson by a half-length.
It was the fourth win - and first stakes - from seven starts for Villanesca, who hadn't run since March 1. She was scratched from the Distaff at Aqueduct on April 13 after getting cast in her stall the night before the race.
It was the 36th stakes victory this year - the most of any rider in the country in 2013 - for Rosario and fifth in six days.
After breaking last, Villanesca advanced into third, along the inside, while Promise Me a Cat ran an opening quarter in 22.67 seconds while being pursued by Sure Route. Approaching the quarter pole it was those two along with Expression who made a wall of three turning for home, before Rosario was able to maneuver to the outside.
She was able to outkick Expression, who finished second by two lengths over Promise Me a Cat.
Villanesca, a Darley Stable homebred daughter of Distorted Humor out of the Grade 1 winning mare Balletto, covered the 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:16.45 and returned $5.90 to win.
Races like the Grade 2 Honorable Miss at Saratoga on July 29 and/or the Grade 1 Ballerina on Aug. 23 are possible for Villanesca.

Albert Montanes claims Nice Open title with victory over Gael Monfils
Albert Montanes claimed his sixth ATP title with a 6-0 7-6 victory over Gael Monfils in the final of the Nice Open.
Last Updated: 25/05/13 8:59pm
Frenchman Monfils was blown away in the first set, but finally held serve in the second game of the second and made a fight of it to give the home fans something to cheer.
The pair swapped breaks but in the eventual tie-break Spaniard Montanes - ranked 82nd in the world - prevailed 7-3 to seal victory in 73 minutes.
It was Montanes' first title in nearly three years after his triumph on the clay of Stuttgart in 2010, when he also beat Monfils in the final.
"I knew I could defeat Gael and today I was very solid the entire match, hitting very deep and playing well in the crucial points," said Montanes.
Monfils, a French Open semi-finalist in 2008, has been awarded a wildcard this year after slipping out of the top 100 in the rankings because of an injury lay-off.
He faces fifth seed Tomas Berdych of Czech Republic in the first round at Roland Garros next week, while Montanes has been drawn against a qualifier.
Monfils said: "I tried my best today, but I faced a better player than me and I want to congratulate him for his title," said Monfils. "I tried different things, but it didn't work. He was just better than me. I played a lot of matches in the past two weeks and I felt maybe a bit tired physically and mentally."

So, I am being targeted three times today by the game Oreo if you know what it is. If I get picked three times already, then does that mean that they are playing around? Ok so Oreo is a game which you start with rock paper scissors, and if you lose the winner gets to pick who you will ask out. If they say no, then that is good, if they say yes, you will regret it and you have to go out with them and break up. Leaving them hurt. Ok, so someone I really like who is my friend asked me if I wanted to go out with him, and I knew he was playing that game. At first I fell for it and believed it. I don't like the game. But my friends made me play it and I lost mostly but I did win sometimes. So the main question is, why am I the target?
The game Oreo? Help me?

"Mental Health Unit & Oasis Bubble Cafe"
About: Stepping Hill Hospital Stepping Hill Hospital Stockport SK2 7JE
Posted by Anonymous
Anything else?
Having attended 3 appointments now with my partner at this unit, I have to say that the cosmetic changes since I last came here over a decade ago have sadly not improved it for the better. The attempt to create a hotel-style reception area is badly let down by having no windows or any natural light coming in and being so incredibly poorly lit - and the few pieces of furniture that are available in the waiting area are sadly rather grubby. "How unbelievably soul-destroying?" springs instantly to mind on entering this particular area of Stepping Hill. The poorly maintained toilets are possibly the dirtiest ones that I have come across in some time and had no choice but to use. And the reception itself, is a rather strange affair? A thick barrier, presumably for the protection of the staff, means that you have to shout your personal and private details through the screen to the great interest and often amusement of other people sat waiting there. Yet sound-wise, every last detail of private conversations between staff to each other and also on telephones to patients can then be heard quite clearly by everyone in the waiting area as well? So the overall impression to this visitor then, is that this particular waiting room has to be one of the most depressing, indiscreet and impersonal places to have to spend a couple of hours in, every 6 weeks. Which considering the very nature of the Unit itself is all the more sad for both the In-patients and the staff that have to spend all day and every day there. Thankfully though, just a few yards away is Stepping Hill's fantastic secret little gem - the Oasis Bubble Café. I can not begin to tell you how much I have enjoyed sitting both inside, and outside in it's lovely little inner garden space, and enjoyed some of the best coffee I have come across. They even do a Loyalty Card as well? - buy 9 and get the 10th one free. The Paninis are also a revelation too - crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and quite generously stuffed with delicious fillings (I can heartily recommend the Mozarella Cheese & Roasted Veg). I love to frequent cafes and tearooms fairly regularly and this humble little hospital café has to be one of my favourite places now to enjoy a very reasonably priced and top quality tasty snack. The homemade cakes too are exceptionally good and so I am regularly tempted to indulge - a Dark Chocolate & Fig one recently was sooo good, I was almost in two minds whether to go all out and try to force another slice down! - LOL! I am just amazed to discover that more people haven't also come forward to complement it and also it's staff too. Perhaps it is a secret place that is not to be shared with the rest of the general public or the outside world? ...Ooops! All visitors should make a beeline for here. Do go and enjoy - I am sure that you won't be disappointed ;o>

Market behavior and formation of value under absence of information on prices
The model described below follows this approach in research of decentralized economic systems. The purpose of modeling is a study of formation of value in conditions, when the economic agents have no information on the prices and on the intents of other agents. Therefore behavior of the agents and, in particular, the supply and demand depend neither on the prices, nor on the fact of their existence in the market. The preferences of systems are assumed given, transitive and complete. No other assumptions on preferences needed. The agents have opportunities of free interchange.

Robson Street will be closed off for special Nutcracker-style performance this Saturday
Holiday nuts and dance fans: mark your calendars. And if you're planning to travel through Vancouver's downtown core this weekend, you may need to remap your route.
The Robson Street Business Association is shutting down traffic between Burrard Street and Bute Street this Saturday (December 10) at 6 p.m. in order to showcase "Winter's Dance", a hi-tech interpretation of one of the season's most beloved ballets, The Nutcracker.
Presented in partnership with local dance production company Small Stage, the 15-minute performance will be projected onto six eight-by-eight-foot screens lining the centre of Robson Street.
The performance will be broadcasted on loop until 9 p.m. During this time, Blenz Coffee will be offering cups of hot cocoa to shoppers onsite and various shops and restaurants along Robson Street will also be getting into the holiday spirit with special deals and promotions.
Vehicle traffic will be stopped at 3 p.m. in order to prepare for the presentation. Once the screens are taken down, traffic will resume at 11 p.m.
Translink bus routes will also be affected during this time.

Sarna News
This is actually a cool article that I'm glad to see here, because I wouldn't know about this magazine or its BattleTech content otherwise.
However, generic RPG/gaming magazines arguably aren't notable enough for this wiki. I have been thinking about creating a summary article, BattleTech magazine articles, to summarily cover BattleTech articles in general media. This is where information like this article really belongs. However, until that article is created, I suggest leaving this article here in place. Frabby (talk) 12:40, 8 June 2016 (PDT)

Reiterating that a Tamil Eelam alone will offer a permanent solution for the Sri Lankan Tamils DMK leader M Karunanidhi said yesterday that the goal should be achieved only through non-violent methods.
Talking to reporters after the first meeting of the revived Tamil Eelam Supporters Organization which he founded in 1985 Karunanidhi said that even if the LTTE resurfaced to resume its struggle, the TESO would urge it to follow the path of non-violence.
Asked if he had no faith in the armed struggle of the LTTE, Mr. Karunanidhi said, "Anyone committed to a cause and pursuing it with a pure heart and uncompromising fighting spirit will get our respect."
Karunanidhi said that the armed struggle launched by militant groups in the wake of the suppression of Tamils failed owing to various reasons and led to the downfall of Tamils as a race.
Asked if the DMK would leave the Congress-led UPA if the Centre refused to support the TESO's demand, Karunanidhi said he was optimistic that the effort would succeed.
He added that when many countries decided to support the resolution against Sri Lanka in the United Nations Human Rights Council, India took a belated decision but the DMK's efforts led to India supporting the resolution.
Karunanidhi's new plan is to create the conditions for recognition of the basic concept of Tamil Eelam adopted at the Vaddukottai conference in 1977 through UN intervention and hold a referendum among Tamils in Sri Lanka and the Tamil Diaspora for the formation of a separate Eelam.
