Ruby Red Natural Rose Glazed & Trimmed with 24K Gold 12″ – Perfect Gift!
$ 169.00
In stock
Price Includes GST for Australian Clients
• A real Ruby Red rose which has been hand-picked at its height of beauty.
• Perfectly glazed with a trim of 24 karat gold (note that karat refers to the purity of the gold while carat refers to weight).
• Each rose is presented in a stylish display case made from leather.
• The finish is as lustrous and brilliant as a mirror.
• Each rose and stem measures approx. 12".
• An impressive symbolic representation of beauty and love that is both unique and artistic.
Formed from a real orange rose, each glazed Eternity Rose is produced in an electroforming and glazing process. Each individual rose is entirely unique, with leaves and petals that are beautifully embossed with purest 24 karat gold. Every Eternity Rose product is supplied with a Seal of Authenticity, guaranteeing its high quality.
For generations, the rose has represented beauty and love, reflecting within the world of flower the meaning that gold holds within the world of precious metals. Now, these twin symbols are perfectly blended in the magnificent Eternity Rose, producing a gift whose beauty and elegance will endure for a lifetime.
The ideal gift for any lady, an Eternity Rose is perfect for all occasions, from Mother's Day to Christmas, and from Valentine's Day to birthdays. Whenever a thoughtful and beautiful gift is required, an Eternity Rose can fit the bill.
Unique and truly impressive, an Eternity Rose is a gift that will speak volumes to all women. A combination of floral splendour and ornamental majesty, each rose comes in its own elegant display case, finely crafted from leather, ready to take pride of place in a display cabinet. The most striking combination, we suggest your rose is displayed in its stylish case, as it will perfectly complement the rose's magnificence. If you cannot afford the space for the rose to be displayed in the box, we also have vases at The Eternity Rose for purchase.
There is no more iconic symbol of love than the single rose and now, The Eternity Rose has taken this token, and turned it into a work of art that can be displayed proudly as a lasting testament to love for a lifetime.
We grow our roses in our very own nursery, tended by skilled horticulturalists who spare no expense in sourcing and growing only the most beautiful roses. Once each flower attains its point of perfection, it is picked by hand and begins the preservation process which will ensure its splendour is retained eternally.
Each Eternity Rose goes through a 60-step, three-month long process to gain its many layers through immersion electroforming. We use our own formulae and patented processes to electroplate the rose with pure copper layers to provide a base that is not only texture-sensitive, but is also the ideal base for dipping in precious metal. Each petal and leaf is hand glazed in an intricate process, following which they are embossed with the purest 24 karat gold. The process of dipping in precious metal is accomplished with multiple thin layers, built over several weeks, and this time-consuming and complex process produces the characteristic mirror finish which is as brilliant as it is lustrous. The glazed Eternity Rose will never corrode and will endure as an object of beauty for thousands of years.
Spoil the lady in your life today with a stunning Eternity Rose. She deserves only the very best.
And if she should happen to fancy a bit more bling, you might consider a natural 24 karat gold-dipped rose.
Here at Imperial Bullion, the Lifetime Warranty of The Eternity Rose products should be more than a set of formal conditions published on a site. It needs to convey full commitment to the customer that unconditional support will be provided if an item is at all faulty.
Our 90-day Satisfaction Guarantee allows the customer to return their purchase for a replacement or complete refund within 90-days of receiving the item, if the customer or recipient is not happy with the gift.
Our Lifetime Warranty in relation to product failure offers additional assurance that if the item fails during standard display usage, we will replace it.
Please be notified that the following circumstances are not protected by the warranty:
1) Typical tarnishing of a product that contains gold or another precious metal.
2) The product has evidently been dropped or bent, causing damage.
3) The product has corroded due to contact with a chemical that is acidic.
If you need to submit a warranty claim, your claim will be granted company priority. Usually, an Eternity Rose 'display' product including the roses and 'display' poker cards and golf balls should endure a lifetime in standard presentation conditions within the home. As per every gold item, it is also expected that a certain amount of tarnishing will occur over time. Most people use a regular metal cleaner every 5 years or thereabouts to shine up their Eternity Rose products. Our roses are of a structural strength similar to a wine glass, and not especially fragile. They are able to be rubbed with the same degree of rigour as would be applied when shining a wine glass.
The Eternity Rose playable poker cards, golf balls and tees will certainly exhibit wear and tear if physically used. This is therefore not covered by the warranty.

So I work at a bank. And at this bank there are well, rules and regulations and policies etc. And obviously one rule is be courteous to the customers. Easy enough for me I'm a nice person. Well I helped a lady today and after I finished her transaction she commented on my hair. I style my hair in a faux-hawk. She had said "I'm glad my children never did anything crazy like that. They read their bible everyday and don't have any tattoos either," and pointed at my hair "they follow the teachings in the bible. If you read the bible it says that your body belongs to god and you shouldn't damage it in any way, read your bible everyday ok?" Now what I wanted to say was "look lady, I dont read the bible, never have never will, and contrary to your single-minded beliefs about how non-believers are 'inhuman-beasts,' Im not a drug addict, I've never tried drugs and I've never been in trouble with the law. All that was accomplished without your bible." But of course I like my job and didnt say that and well I didnt really know what to say back except have a nice day. Just love those days. Anyone else been in that position and it just kills you that you cant respond with what your thinking? Any other day I would have spoke up but alas, I need my job.

The trouble with having to deal with members of the public is putting up with all the abuse and learning to bite your tongue and smile instead. Volto sciolto and pensieri stretti - this is the way to deal with situations like this.
You work. Her children don't and might never do..
I'm glad I work in deep, deep back office, hidden from sight at a cost center. ;)
Read my post about my aunt. :P I have that every day. (Maybe you could respond with Happy Holidays just to pass your point across. xD)
Though I'd just ignore it, smile and nod, because chances are she won't complain to your boss for something like that. And @Flower, I agree whole-heartedly.

Kevinpilot necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 46 diseños de 23 diseñadores freelance.
My name is Kevin and I am a commercial pilot and and I own USAviation.com. I have busy forums on that site, but I am creating a new forum site so that I can grow my forum membership. The new site will be called AirlineForums.com and I will migrate the old USAviation.com membership and forums to the new site. The forums have a busy airline following. Airline employees come to the site to vent and discuss their company. Various Airline Management also watch the boards to see what their employees are discussing. I am hoping that the new forum at AirlineForums.com will allow this membership to expand while also drawing in more passenger related discussions from passengers who fly on airlines.
Airline Employees of various US Domestic and Foreign Airlines and Aircraft Operators. Pilots, Mechanics, Flight Attendants, Dispatchers, and Airline Managers. I wish to expand forum growth into Passenger related Discussions and boards on the new site while growing the airline employee base. Airline employees like to complain about their jobs or discuss mergers, accidents, wages, benefits, schedules. Passenger will most likely write complaints or discuss a flight. Passengers will also discuss their frequent flyer programs.
I would like a logo and or header that will be used in an Invision Power Board Skin that will capture the airline industry's soul. Aviation is a unique industry and flying is a lifestyle that people find romantic, exciting, and thrilling. It should be something that employees and passengers can relate to. AirlineForums.com will have a large base when launched, but I want to open it up to more passenger discussions as I move forward so that eventually it will be a forum that anyone who flies for or on an airline can come to discuss the airline industry -- US or Foreign. Employee issues, passenger issues, and Industry issues will all be highlighted on the new forums and I am looking to get a forum look and feel that will facilitate this goal, appeal to advertisers, and keep and grow membership. I have attached a logo design image that I find appealing, but I don't neccesarily have to go in that direction. I like the style of the entire logo with the name, not just a logo image. But please do not feel that the logo / header has to look like those. A photograph could be used as well. PLEASE USE YOUR CREATIVE AND INDIVIDUAL STYLE TO MAKE A LOGO/HEADER THAT YOU MIGHT DO IF YOU WERE LAUNCHING THIS SITE. Let me see what you think of flying and aviation in your design. I have also attached some skin colors that I find appealing. The logo / header should have an aviation, airline, and aircraft look and feel. But please...I want to see your individuallity in this design. Thanks! (Try to remember your first flight when you design this! What do you remember? Clouds? The wing? That amazing feeling when you break ground?)

umpaweb is a startup that will be delivering affordable, social, web packages to clients worldwide. We are a couple of people with loads of experience at top companies, have created and sold companies and now want to share our knowledge in an affordable way to small businesses that are a little behind the curve.
Why Umpa, if you are like us and recall childhood stories fondly then you will know Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. We loved the Umpa Lumpas and their chocolate making abilities and want to bring aspects of that story into umpaweb. The tag line will be something like "golden tickets to delicious websites" and we will be running a "web factory" building fantastic websites for great small businesses and individuals.
A character in the logo is wanted however we do need to be careful of copyright issues, so make sure its original.
We are really excited about this venture, there are some truly fantastic small businesses out there that lack the knowledge and or the time to create an efficient online presence that drives them customers. We will be taking our years of knowledge and passion for the web and creating affordable packages for our clients.
A lot of our customers will also need a new identity designed so we are looking for designers that we can establish a long term relationship with, especially if you have experience working with Wordpress/Joomla/etc.
We are talking to small business and individuals that do not have a web presence or want to improve their current site.
We will be driving people to our site both through online and more traditional methods. When they see our identity they need to see something that inspires them, builds trust, looks clean and simple and it has to have an element of fun to it, after all growing your business and interacting with clients is fun and should not be hard work.
We are also in this for the small guys, the small business and individuals so don't give this an old corporate feel!
Simple - A logo for "Umpaweb" with the tag line "golden tickets to delicious websites"
We want a character in the logo, this character is going to be a part of the story, the one creating the sites.
The brand we envisage is a bunch of characters working hard behind the scenes, doing something they love and delivering quality websites to our customers. We like the mailchimp brand (not the text) and the story it tells, we just think one chimp wont be enough to keep up with our business.
Be careful with copyright issues when developing our character, we are drawing parallels to some stories already out there but we are also unique.
Some colors we like: (but do not be afraid to suggest something else)
That's it, we are live at the end of this month, good luck and hope you can be part of the ride.

Van Halen Release Preview of New Song 'Blood and Fire'
The name of 'Blood and Fire,' a newly-previewed song from Van Halen's 'A Different Kind of Truth' album, probably won't ring familiar to longtime fans of the band. But Alex Van Halen's beat and Eddie Van Halen's noodling on the track may take some knowledgeable fans back to the mid-'80s. That's because the new song — previewed in the video below — is based on an instrumental called 'Ripley' from 'The Wild Life' movie.
Rolling Stone first revealed the 90 second clip of he song, but we can thank an old article on the Van Halen News Desk for explaining the origins of the track. 'The Wild Life' was released on VHS in 1984 and starred Chris Penn. Eddie Van Halen wrote the score for the movie, but only one song ('Donut City') was included on the official soundtrack. Others, including 'Ripley,' are heard throughout the Cameron Crowe directed flick.
This is the third song confirmed to be a reincarnation of a previous effort from the David Lee Roth led quartet. Their first single, 'Tattoo' was based off of the 1977 unreleased track 'Down in Flames,' and 'She's the Woman' (a song heard at the Jan. 5 show in New York City) was originally recorded in 1976.
'A Different Kind of Truth' hits stores on Feb. 7. The band begins their American tour on Feb. 18. Click here to enter Jack's Freeloader Club for a chance to win tickets to the Buffalo show on March 9 or enter to win tickets to the Van Halen show of your choice from UltimateClassicRock.com

Re-Launched on Drupal 6
amariotti — Fri, 04/10/2009 - 16:19
I just finished upgrading a couple of the sites that I run to Drupal 6. The task was no easy one, but it could of been much worse. But, it's done now and I'm going to go enjoy some time with my family. It took altogether probably 4-5 hours to upgrade 4 sites. It was my first time so that has a lot to do with it.

Page Not Found on Node Creation
amariotti — Thu, 04/02/2009 - 09:32
A few weeks ago I ran into an issue with my web host that made me a little frustrated. Here's what was happening.
When creating a simple blog post with pictures and a bulleted list would send me to a blank page with a "page not found" error. I was a little confused with this, and wasn't really sure where to even start. The first place I checked was my watchdog log in Drupal. The only thing that it showed was the page not found error and it showed that I was trying to access a page called "500.shtml." When I ran into this a problem a while ago I decided to just modify my post and remove most of the html so that it would go through. This time there was no way around it.

Multiple Google Analytics Accounts with the Domain Access Module
amariotti — Wed, 01/14/2009 - 17:08
A month or so ago I started my first site on Drupal 6.x. I was very excited about this for a number of reasons which I will mention on another day–in another post. Once it was installed I went straght for the Domain Access module. For those of that are familiar with it, you know that it's a pretty slick module with a lot of good functionality. It allows you to run multiple Drupal 6 sites off the same code base and database. I understand that there is always the multi-site option, but I wanted to try something a little more integrated and clean. That's all I'll say about the Domain Access module (I will post about it in the next few weeks, because there's lots to say).

Blogging to a Drupal Site from an iPhone
amariotti — Tue, 12/02/2008 - 17:33
I just downloaded an app on my iPhone that will allow me to blog to my Drupal site blog (this one). It's a pretty slick app that so far works really well. The only thing that I'm not liking so far is that I can't add categories (tags) on the fly, there's just a list of tags used on my blog. Thats pretty nifty in and of itself. Anyway, so far so good! The app is called iBlogger.

Attention Drupal & Quicksilver Fans
amariotti — Fri, 11/21/2008 - 15:38
When it comes to anything on the computer I like to find a better and more efficient way to do things. I've been this way for a while, and it's something that I don't think will ever change until I get older. In my opinion this is a good trait to have, and it may find me appealing down the road in my career.

Pat Williams, owner of the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association (NBA), speaker, author, health advocate and marathon runner, lives a "never say never" approach to life. This past February, Pat was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare blood/bone cancer. In typical Pat Williams fashion, he is not giving this disease the upper hand, as associate and publisher Adam Witty outlines below. The five keys Adam identifies mesh with The Daniel Plan principles.
By Adam Witty
Published by Author Advantage Magazine, Advantage Media
Recently I had dinner with Advantage author Pat Williams. Many of you know of Pat for his incredible accomplishments: as the Founder of the NBA's Orlando Magic, as the author of over 65 books, as a motivational speaker, renowned sports executive, and, gulp, the father of 19 kids! Pat has spoken at our Marketing Summit, has graced the cover of this magazine, and has been an inspiration to many.
I first met Pat when I was in college at Clemson, some 12 years ago. Pat agreed, much to my pleasant surprise, to mentor me. He accepted a seat on the Board of the company I was running at the time, TicketAdvantage. A sports fanatic, my dream was to run an NBA basketball team. Why not learn from the guy that brought NBA basketball to Central Florida? Over the years, Pat and I have had hundreds of meetings, phone calls, e-mails, and voice messages. Aside from my own father, I can think of no other person that has taught me more about business and leadership. I owe a great deal to Pat.
In February, Pat was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer, Multiple Myeloma. I remember speaking with Pat two days after the diagnosis. I said "Pat, if anyone can beat this, it is you. Second, you are going to beat this." As we had dinner, I asked how treatment was going and what his doctors were saying.
"My doctor says I have 5 big advantages in fighting this disease" said Pat. I knew it was time to get out my notepad.
As Pat shared all of this with me, I thought, "Gee, it would sure be nice to be Pat Williams if you ever got sick." But as I reflected further, I realized that these five so called "advantages" that Pat has are purely of his own creation. He has worked his tail off over a lifetime to prepare for this day. Pat's hard work has been a giant insurance policy. Upon further reflection, I realize that you don't have to be the author of 65 books, the father or 19 kids, or a renowned sports executive to have the exact same insurance policy for your own life. All it takes is hard work.
Although it is still too early to tell the exact progress of Pat's treatment, I can tell you this, you would never think the man had cancer. He was upbeat, full of energy, and executing on all aspects of his life, without missing a beat.
When I was in boy scouts, we had a motto, "be prepared." What are you doing today, to prepare yourself for tomorrow? If cancer, or any other challenge strikes, are you giving yourself the best fighting chance to win? A good question or all of us.
Words of support can be sent to Pat at firstname.lastname@example.com or by mail: Pat Williams, c/o Orlando Magic, 8701 Maitland Summit Blvd., Orlando, FL 32810.

Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and published by Image Comics, "The Walking Dead" tells the story of the months and years that follow after a zombie apocalypse, and follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), who travel in search of a safe and secure home. "The Walking Dead" reigns as the most watched drama series on basic cable for Adults 18-49 and Adults 25-54. The series has garnered an Emmy® Award for Outstanding Prosthetic Make-up and a Golden Globe® Award nomination for Best Television Series – Drama, among other accolades.

As the team buys, sells and discovers the treasures of the comic collecting world, they share all the juicy details with Kevin through their outrageous podcast, which is woven throughout the series.

Bala Real Estate
We're two young professionals, based in New York City, looking to change the way the buyers acquire and/or manage residential real estate properties in New York. Only our brokerage arm is currently up and running, but our brand will soon include management, consulting and development businesses. We aim to provide value, substance, and a high level of personal service.
We'd like to emphasize that--although we are seasoned legal and finance professionals (with international experience) who are accustomed to working with large institutions and high net worth individuals--we're also relatively young people (early/mid 30s) who live, work and play in NYC. We're connected to the pulse of the city, and provide the same levels of service and value to first time homebuyers that we provide to wealthy investors. Ours is a "buyers only" brokerage (since we never represent sellers or list properties, there is never a conflict of interest). Our message: we provide a high level of service and sophistication to buyers, yet we're down to earth and understand NYC residential real estate "on the ground." We know the streets, we know the neighborhoods, we know the right questions to ask. In short--it's a no brainer. Slogan: Bala Real Estate--a broker for buyers. Short, simple, crisp.
Initially our customers will be buyers of New York City residential real estate through our brokerage company, Bala Real Estate, most of whom are tech-savvy. We'll introduce our clients to technologies that few firms are employing in today's market and we'll continue to innovate as we grow and mature as a company. First time buyers, young families, young professionals and international investors will be the bulk of our initial customer base. As we expand and diversify our business, our customers may include institutions (investment funds, etc.) in addition to individuals.
Our customer base will be made up of mainly highly educated, worldly, diversified, and sophisticated professionals who value our diverse experience and perspectives, and choose to live or invest in our city. We'd like to convey the message that the people behind Bala Real Estate are just like them in this respect.
We are open to both text-based and graphic-based logos, but all logos must incorporate the words "Bala Real Estate". It should be "professional" and "elegant" rather than abstract or cartoonish, but we want to differentiate Bala from the old, large, traditional real estate firms in New York. Our logo should embody energy, innovation, creativity and youthfulness, but not playfulness. Our logo should be simple and crisp, timeless rather than flashy.
Colors: dark blue, grey, soft purple, forest green. Tones: muted, classic and rustic, not loud. The logo background should be white, or a light color. Logo can be "framed" or not.
Example logos we like:
Mercedes Benz, Nike and Apple all have the kind of simple, timeless graphic logos we like.
Example logos we dislike:
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
We may also need design services for our website, going forward.

My goal in writing this article is to prove that "L'Arrivee d'un train" is remarkable not merely as one of the early examples of moving image, but more importantly, as an early work of cinema as art – thanks to its profound philosophical controlling idea. I know the film in two different versions, marked with the same number: Lumiere #653. One of the two versions includes the footage of a lavishly dressed woman and her tiny daughter, running together hand in hand alongside the railroad track. The other version can be recognized by the image of a man wearing a light suit and a cap, walking backwards in front of the camera, likely aware that he's in the shot, but probably not realizing that the apparatus he's being filmed with is Le Cinematographe Lumiere.
According to the famous urban myth, during the premiere of this 50-seconds-long film in 1896 in Lyon the audience was so terrified of the image of the arriving train that many people leaped up from their seats, screaming, and ran to the back of the screening room. That myth may or may not be true, and yet, it appears certain that Auguste and Louis Lumiere, when they captured the approaching train on film at the most expressive angle they could think of, did expect to elicit strong emotional reaction from their audience. This was the likely reason why they didn't stop the camera immediately after the train arrived to the platform, but kept rolling to record the hubbub of disembarking passengers and people greeting them on the platform: the pre-climactic buildup of the locomotive filling the screen was too powerful and needed a relatively longer period of relief.
People at the premiere of the film knew that the train was merely an illusion, a sequence of photographs projected onto a white screen – and yet their reaction to the illusion was real. Seeing the arriving train made people tense up, hold their breath, perhaps even gasp, their heartbeat quickened, the palms of their hands moist, their mouths dry – or, if the legend had any basis in reality, maybe some of the viewers did scream and run in panic. Whatever the reaction was, it was intended by the Lumiers, the masters of illusion. And their intention can help us to recognize the controlling idea, the intrinsic philosophical message of this early example of the art of film.
"L'Arrive d'un train" says that even though we may be aware of the illusory nature of a certain event, that event is nevertheless likely to elicit a strong emotional response from us, and therefore, to motivate us to action. The emotion provoked by an event may be positive or negative, and therefore we may act out of fear or desire – but whatever the motive, we end up acting all the same, and become involved, entangled, in the various manifestations of the material world – or, metaphorically, in the idle dither of the crowd greeting the proverbial train that rushes on to crush us. With that crowd we chase that train, no more capable of releasing ourselves from the claws of illusion than the tiny girl on the platform can free herself from the grasp of her oblivious mother – and even if we realize the hidden mechanisms of the occurrence and decide to move against the flow and avoid being "in the shot", like the backward-walking gentleman in the light suit and a cap, we still can't help being "captured" – objectified by the material and social system – against our will.
Obviously, this message refers to much more than just the illusion of images moving on a screen. Any type of illusion works in the same way, whether it's money (in our age, nothing more than abstract arrangement of particles on the disks of banking computers), terrorists (modern boogeymen, replacing communist conspiracy in public mind and forcing countries into wars), medicine (pills that promise to save us but put our health out of balance instead) and myriad of other things. So the idea at the core of this film is not only deep but also practical.
Despite its apparent pessimism, the Lumieres' philosophical warning offers hope. If we know where the trap is laid for us, we have a chance to avoid it, so by being aware of our human propensity to act on impulse stirred by the illusion, we can counterpose our conscious refusal to follow that impulse.
The idea, expressed by the Lumieres, is congruent with their chosen medium: the method fits the message. With "L'Arrivee d'un train", Auguste et Louis became the founders of the tradition of cinema exploring and exploiting its own illusory nature. The pinnacle figure of that tradition was, of course, the great Ingmar Bergman who, remarkably, titled his autobiography "Laterna Magica", thus implying that his life and creative work constituted a mere succession of illusory projections.
Dimitri Vorontzov
The complete title of the film discussed in this article is "L'arrivee d'un train en gare de La Ciotat". It was produced and directed by the French inventors of cinema, Auguste and Louis Lumiere, in 1895.

Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor had much of her right leg amputated Friday due to persistent blood clots and an infection that permeated the bone, according to her publicist.
Gabor, 93, was taken to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center last week and had been undergoing treatment to see if the amputation could be avoided, but publicist John Blanchette said the operation became a necessity.
"This is a very dangerous operation for someone her age," Blanchette said. "But she will die otherwise."
U.S. & World
Doctors said the surgery to remove about three-quarters of Gabor's right leg was successful and there were no complications. She was expected to remain under close observation at the hospital. According to The Associated Press, Blanchette said that the actress would remain the hospital for 1-2 weeks and possibly be home before her 94th birthday.
Gabor fell out of bed and broke her hip July 17. She underwent hip- replacement surgery and was sent home about a month later, but she went back to the hospital two days later after developing blood clots.
Gabor was given last rites at the hospital Aug. 15 and was brought home to her Bel Air Road mansion the following day after declining any more procedures.
She was taken back to the hospital Aug. 31 after her husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt found her unresponsive. She was stabilized at the hospital and returned home.
Zsa Zsa is the last of the three glamorous Gabor sisters, all of whom had careers in show business. Magda, the eldest, died in 1997 at age 82. Eva, who starred in the 1960s CBS sitcom "Green Acres," died in 1995 at age 76.

By the time you read these lines, I'll be gone.
Well, I'm not really gone. Just over here. So stop crying.
It's a wee bit sad, really, this moving. Just a tiny bit. Kind of like when you live in your first apartment, all cozy and tiny and there's no dishwasher and it only takes an hour to clean all 800 square feet…I'll miss that. Except for the no dishwasher thing. That sucks. So you move to your new, bigger and fancier apartment, maybe with a spare bedroom, with a shiny dishwasher and a veranda. That's me now, except my veranda is a cork board. But you'll never forget your first place, filled with memories, like all the talks of boogers and zits. But I bet I still talk about that at my new place. Yeah, scenery changes, but the furniture stays the same.
Also, it doesn't snow on my new blog. I'll miss that. I could probably make it snow on my new blog, but it would require learning a whole new scary language. Called HTML. It's supposed to be fun and exciting. Really I just feel like I'm on a blind date with a deaf person who grew up in India. I'm sure he's cool, but we just don't communicate. Except for high fives. And the universal sign for choking.
So anyways, I'm over here. Ooh! And Adventures with Edward is over here. Yep, he's got his own digs now. He's just too big to live solely in my handbag. I think his minute fame is making his plastic head swell.
So change your feed reader thingies, switch your blogrolls, or just come over and see my new crib. I've got post its!

How to transfer video to a computer using Audio/Video (A/V) cables.
- The computer must have standard Audio/Video (A/V) input jacks and compatible video capture software to complete this procedure.
If your PC does not have standard Audio/Video (A/V) input jacks, you can transfer videos using a video capture cable (commercially available).
[A] Audio/Video output jack
[B]A/V connecting cable (supplied)
[C]Video capture cable (commercially available)
NOTE: Sony does not guarantee correct operation of commercially available video capture cables from manufacturers other than Sony. For details, consult with the cable's manufacturer.
Follow the procedures below to make the transfer
- Connect an A/V cable to the A/V output jack of the camcorder.
- Connect the other end of the A/V cable to the A/V input jack on the computer.
- Turn on the camcorder to the VCR, VTR, or PLAYBACK mode.
- Cue the video in the camcorder to the beginning of the video footage to be transferred.
- Turn on the computer.
- Start the video capture software.
- Begin playing the video in the camcorder.
- Begin importing the video with the video capture software.
Because there are many different video capture applications on the market and we cannot reasonably know which video capture software you are using, Sony is unable to provide specific instructions or support for software we do not manufacture. However, many video capture applications have detailed help files, including specific instructions about capturing and importing video from a camcorder to a computer. The help files should be available in the Help menu of the video capture software or in a separate file on the software disc. If you cannot find instructions in the help file or on the disc included with your software, consult the software manufacturer for more detailed support information.

Anemia: Capecitabine may cause low levels of red blood cells. If you experience symptoms of reduced red blood cell count (anemia) such as shortness of breath, feeling unusually tired or pale skin, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Your doctor will do blood tests regularly to monitor the number of specific types of blood cells, including red blood cells, in your blood.
Bleeding: Capecitabine may cause a reduced number of platelets in the blood, which can make it difficult to stop cuts from bleeding. If you notice any signs of bleeding, such as frequent nosebleeds, unexplained bruising, or black and tarry stools, notify your doctor as soon as possible. Your doctor will order routine blood tests to make sure potential problems are caught early.
Diarrhea or dehydration: This medication frequently causes diarrhea. If you develop diarrhea that occurs more than 4 times a day or at all during the night, contact your doctor. Your doctor will monitor you closely for dehydration. Severe dehydration can cause rapid loss of kidney function and is a medical emergency. If you experience any symptoms of severe dehydration (e.g., increased thirst, dry mouth), stop taking the medication and contact your doctor immediately.
Hand and foot syndrome: This medication can cause hand and foot syndrome (numbness, redness, tingling, burning, or pain in the hands and feet; blistering or peeling of the hands and feet). If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your doctor. If the symptoms are severe and interfere with your ability to walk or do other daily activities, stop taking this medication and contact your doctor immediately.
Heart disease: People with a history of heart disease may be more likely to experience side effects that affect the heart when taking this medication. Stop using the medication and contact your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms such as abnormal heart rate, chest pain, and swelling of your extremities while taking this medication.
Infection: As well as killing cancer cells, capecitabine can reduce the number of cells that fight infection in the body (white blood cells). If possible, avoid contact with people with contagious infections. Tell your doctor immediately if you notice signs of an infection, such as fever or chills, severe diarrhea, shortness of breath, prolonged dizziness, headache, stiff neck, weight loss, or listlessness. Your doctor will do blood tests regularly to monitor the number of specific types of blood cells in your blood.
Kidney disease: If you have reduced kidney function, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. People with moderately-to-severely reduced kidney function will need lower doses of this medication.
Liver function: If you have reduced liver function, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Skin rash: In rare instances, people taking capecitabine experience a severe skin reaction that can be life-threatening. If you experience a rash that gets worse, or develops into blisters, sores on the lips or eyes or covers a large area of the body, contact your doctor immediately.
Pregnancy: This medication may harm the baby if used during pregnancy. Both men and women should use effective birth control (e.g., condoms, birth control pill) during treatment. If you or your partner become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: It is not known if capecitabine passes into breast milk. Because of the risks associated with this medication, women should not breast-feed while taking capecitabine.
Children and adolescents: The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for children under 18 years of age.
Seniors: People over the age of 65 may be at an increased risk of side effects from this medication.

Open Term Plan, 1gig data. Average 800 meg, odd overrun of cap. Today, somehow, I have managed to blow through 600meg & counting which is completely out of the norm.
Data usage alert wise today I received:
- 70% (778.6 MB) usage text at 8:55am
- 100% (1085.7 MB) usage text at 11:26am
- 120% (1274.8 MB) usage text at 1:12 pm
I was obviously suspicious of this at the 3rd text so disabled mobile data (Settings -> General -> Mobile Data -> switch it to off). 3G icon disappears from the screen etc. Went through and checked location services were off for everything at this stage (I do use 4sq, find friends but going back to average use it is not cap blowing material).
Keep checking the Your Telecom usage page and it still increases. So at 4pm on the train home i check data is disabled again, turn off my phone. Get home, roughly an hour later and data has continued to be used!
Data usage during this time:
- 4:04pm - 1367.9 MB
- 5:17pm - 1466.1 MB
Obviously get home, ring the help desk. Explain the situation, get put through to the iPhone helpdesk. They 'reset my data' and i need to monitor it to see if it continues. I did raise the idea that maybe my data is being used up by some form of upstream fault / denial of service attack but this is beyond them and they want to only consider the handset.
Solution from iPhone help desk, should data continue to be used? Is to have my handset checked out.
Help! Can one of the technical people from Telecom take a look and see if anything is amiss as I find it very hard to believe that the usage is so far behind or that my handset is at fault when it is off / has data disabled.

Bret Michaels is back in the hospital.
The rocker and reality TV star suffered what doctors call a "warning stroke" and has been diagnosed with a patent forum ovale, or hole in the heart, according to a report today on his website. Michaels' publicist, Joann Mignano, confirmed the report.
Michaels was hospitalized after experiencing numbness on the left side of his body, particularly in his face and hands.
Doctors say the condition is operable and treatable and likely unrelated to the brain hemorrhage the 47-year-old suffered last month.
Michaels' neurosurgeon said that while the Poison frontman has a "fantastic attitude" about making a full recovery, "Bret's brain and body are not quite 100 percent yet, especially with the hole found in his heart."
Additional tests were being conducted to determine the best course of treatment. Doctors said Michaels is currently being treated with a daily injection of a blood thinner to reduce the risk of clots.
The website says Michaels was "up, walking, talking, continuing his daily rehab and very happy to be alive."
"He has made it clear he is sick and tired of being in the hospital and is ready to rock again," the site says.
Michaels' expected appearance at Sunday's finale of Donald Trump's "The Celebrity Apprentice" in New York may now be in question. Messages left for Trump and NBC were not immediately returned.

Just think of how much the environment will appreciate you for leaving the car in the garage and helping to save trees by not ordering paper catalogues!

It also exported all types of bulbs, tubers, corms and rhizomes to wholesale clients throughout Europe and North America. The original company's traditional wholesale bulb growing and exporting business is still in operation, but its "offshoot" Bulbs & beyond focuses purely on online flower bulb sales to retail and (smaller) wholesale customers throughout the European Union.

Spring 2020 classes have resumed online.Please visit
dcccd.edu/coronavirus for additional information and to
learn how to prepare for online classes.
This article appeared in a September 2016 issue of the student newsletter.
The population of the DFW metroplex is expected to double by 2060. We're talking around 15 million residents. For comparison, the state of Texas currently has 27 million residents.
With recent drought, weather extremes and increasing threats to our state's water supplies – both man-made and natural – will DFW have enough water as we continue to grow?
On Saturday, Sept. 17, "DFW: Thirsting for Our Water Future" will be held at the Richardson Civic Center from 9:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. The event will provide a foundation for understanding the current state of our water supplies and address the challenges we face in maintaining those water resources (such as drought, invasive species and more). The event will also highlight some of the cutting-edge technologies that could help us meet our water needs, as well as offer practical solutions for homeowners to save water and save money.
DCCCD employees and students can register for the one-day conference for $20 through Sept. 10, 2016 (lunch included). Regular registration is $50; however, a $35 registration is currently available through a limited-time promotion.
Register now for this event at dfwwaterconference.org. Seating is limited for this one-day event.
"DFW: Thirsting for Our Water Future" is a unique opportunity to learn from industry experts about water quality, water conservation and how we can secure Texas' future water supply. This special event is made possible thanks to the Clean Water Fund, Earth Day Texas, DCCCD, NCTCOG, Dallas Sierra Club, Texas Conservation Alliance and other organizations.

By Michelle Harrison, Human Rights Attorney and Bertha Foundation Fellow, EarthRights International
This week, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in DaimlerChrysler v. Bauman (docket 11-965), a case that has received little attention despite the fact that it has the potential to dramatically alter the ability of federal and state courts to assert jurisdiction over foreign corporations.
The case involves claims brought by former employees and family members of deceased employees of a Mercedes-Benz plant in Argentina who were violently kidnapped, tortured, and killed against DaimlerChrysler AG (now Daimler AG), a German corporation that owns the plant. The company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Mercedes-Benz Argentina, is accused of conspiring with, directing, and aiding and abetting state security forces to carry out egregious human rights violations during Argentina's "Dirty War" in order to silence union activism and maintain the company's production levels.
The plaintiffs filed suit in 2004 in federal district court in California, asserting that jurisdiction was proper due to the substantial and systematic business Daimler conducts in the state through another wholly owned subsidiary, Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA). Technically, MBUSA and Daimler are "separate" corporate entities; however, they shared the same chairman, MBUSA sold cars solely for Daimler, Daimler set prices for the cars, had authority over virtually all aspects of MBUSA's operations, and received all of MBUSA's profits.
The district court initially dismissed the case, agreeing with Daimler that it lacked jurisdiction. On appeal, the Ninth Circuit reversed the decision, holding that a court may exercise general jurisdiction over a foreign corporation when its subsidiary acts as its agent in the forum state, performing a role important enough that, if the subsidiary went out of business or otherwise could not perform that role, the parent corporation would sell the product itself or through a new representative. The Ninth Circuit found that because MBUSA acted as an agent for Daimler in California, jurisdiction was reasonable.
Now before the Supreme Court, the question presented is whether a U.S. court can assert jurisdiction over a foreign corporation on the basis of services performed in the forum state by the corporation's wholly owned subsidiary.
The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case just days after issuing its decision in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum, which limited the ability of victims of human rights abuse to bring cases against foreign corporations under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) when the abuse occurred outside the U.S. Many commentators see Bauman as a sequel to that case because, like Kiobel, Bauman is a case against a foreign corporation, under the ATS, for human rights abuses that occurred in another country. The issue here, however, is actually much broader. While Kiobel considered only the narrow question of whether an ATS claim could be brought in a case involving foreign conduct, Bauman is not limited to claims brought under the ATS, and will raise questions about the ability to bring claims against a foreign corporation at all.
Daimler—and the Chamber of Commerce—have made a number of sweeping arguments that, if accepted, could fundamentally alter the jurisdictional reach of U.S. courts. According to Daimler, the Due Process Clause prevents a court from exercising jurisdiction over it on the basis of its U.S. subsidiaries, even where the subsidiary carries out the parent's business, on the parent's behalf, and for the parent's benefit. Daimler and the Chamber have gone so far as to argue that there is a constitutional right for a parent corporation to be treated as separate from its subsidiary—an argument that has never before been recognized and is fundamentally at odds with the history of the corporate form.
Indeed, the Supreme Court has already rejected the notion that due process requires separate treatment of a parent and its subsidiary. In Mobil Oil Corp v. Comm'r of Taxes of Vermont, the Supreme Court considered Vermont's tax on companies doing business within the state, which was based upon a share of their total income earned inside and outside of the state. Mobil argued that due process required that dividends from subsidiaries that were not incorporated in that state, did no business in the state, and were not managed in that state must be excluded from the calculation of total income because they lacked a sufficient nexus to Vermont. The Supreme Court, however, concluded there was no due process problem because, irrespective of corporate formalities, Vermont's tax treated a "functionally integrated enterprise" as a unitary business.
Such treatment is consistent with the fact that federal and state laws often treat corporations and their subsidiaries as single entities for purposes of attributing civil liability or other obligations. Corporations are, and always have been, the creation of states, possessing only such rights as were expressly granted. No corporation has a constitutional right to be a corporation, let alone a constitutional right to a particular organizational structure.
Daimler's sweeping constitutional arguments are also contradicted by the historical understanding of corporate personality at the time of the passage of both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. Corporations were in fact expressly prohibited from owning other companies until the end of the nineteenth century. The parent-subsidiary relationship was unheard of; only the simple, single entity corporate structure was permitted.
Due process requires only that the maintenance of a suit not offend "traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice." Corporations purposefully avail themselves of the privileges of doing business within a forum state by virtue of their subsidiaries. Under Daimler's view, however, that privilege does not come with any responsibilities.
The case deserves far more attention than it has received. If the Court accepts Daimler's position, it would call into question existing laws in areas as diverse as tax, labor, and antitrust. Worse, it would effectively insulate foreign corporations from lawsuits anywhere in the United States—even when the plaintiffs are U.S. citizens. As long as they keep a separation, on paper, from their U.S. subsidiaries, foreign corporations would be able to enjoy all of the privileges of doing business in the United States with the guarantee that their operations will not be subjected to scrutiny by U.S. courts.
