well we had a harry potter party for the last harry potter film(it was amazing) and my task was to dress up as draco malfoy.i wore my uncannily-similar-to-slytherins school uniform and made this cloak. best idea ever. i am now planning to make a more complicated gryfinndor one :) ps house colours=
gryffindor- Red, Yellow
Slytherin- green, grey
ravenclaw- blue, brown
hufflepuff- yellow, black
take your 2 peices of coloured fabric in the house colours (these will look sort of like a scarve on the front edge of the cloak). cut one wider than the other so you will be able to see both coulers dont make them too thick as this will look weird.
you can cut the scarvey bits in any shape but i find a curved edge looks really effective. make sure they overlap like this;
next you need to pin a 1cm hem along the CURVED edges of both peices of fabric ready for attaching to the black peice of fabric.
now sew along the curved hems on each peice of coloured fabric trying to keep the line straight and consistent. once you have finished sewing remove the pins.
take your biggest peice of fabric and lay it over the 2 metre edge of the black fabric so the edges match. pin in down so the fabrics wont shift when being sewn. the flat top of this must be pinned with the black edge next to it so they are hemmed together
now sew along your flat edge so the peice is finally attached to the black bit. then sew along the curved line trying to keep to the original line you have sewn.
next reapeat the last 2 step except with the smaller peice so they overlap.
now you need to pin all of the edges of the black fabric. (1cm)
Now do the same to the decorative fabric
now sew the black fabric to the decorative (lining )fabric. the decorative fabric can be fur, velvet or just pretty cotton but it needs to look different to the black front of cloak.
sew the decor fabric and the black fabric with there wrong sides facing each other so you will not have to turn it inside out.
now you are done if you like sew the house badge on the front but i have not done this.

Canada enacts new terrorism security law
By JIM FOX The Canadian government has enacted a bill called the Public Safety Act to crack down on potential terrorist activities. The new law will require airlines and reservation systems to provide information on travelers to federal authorities and foreign governments. It also allows the government to issue so-called interim orders in "extraordinary circumstances where they are essential for safety and security." Transport Minister David Collenette said Canadians are "united in our determination to stare down terrorism as it manifests itself around the world." Canada's opposition politicians and others criticized the bill as an attack on constitutional rights. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Jean Chretien said hundreds of additional Canadian troops are on standby for duty in Afghanistan. Their duties are expected to include stabilizing the country, securing airfields, clearing mines, opening roads and escorting aid convoys. The core of the Canadian force headed for Afghanistan would be the 3rd Battalion of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. Almost every unit at the Edmonton Garrison is contributing troops along with 100 infantry from the brigade's base in Winnipeg. Provinces want speedier movement of goodsSeveral provinces led by Ontario want the Canadian government to create a "security perimeter" to speed the movement of goods at U.S. border points. In addition, Ontario wants to harmonize border procedures and extend pre-clearance treaties covering shipments by land that now apply only to air. The United States is Canada's largest trading partner with an estimated $1.6-billion in goods moving over the border every day. In briefCanadian retailers are bracing for their weakest holiday shopping season in 10 years. Statistics Canada said retail sales took their biggest monthly drop in September and haven't yet recovered. Three people are officially seeking to become premier of Ontario, succeeding Mike Harris who will leave the job next spring. Ontario Environment Minister Elizabeth Witmer and Ontario Finance Minister Jim Flaherty join former Ontario Finance Minister Ernie Eves in the race to become leader of the Conservatives. The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is buying Merrill Lynch's Canadian retail brokerage business. The deal, expected to have a final price of up to $650-million (Canadian), will give the bank a stronger presence in the highly competitive wealth management business. Facts and figuresCanada's central bank dropped its key interest rate by 0.5 percentage points to 2.25 percent in a bid to stimulate the weakening economy. Banks trimmed their prime lending rates by a similar amount to 4 percent. The value of Canada's dollar rose to 63.11 cents U.S. while the U.S. greenback returned $1.5847 Canadian before bank exchange fees. Stock markets were lower, with the Toronto 300 Index at 7,358 points; the Canadian Venture Exchange was at 3,045 points. Lotto 6-49: (Wednesday) 1, 21, 29, 42, 45 and 47; bonus 8.

I have been backing up the /var/lib/rpm/Packages file nightly, and my latest copy is only 2 days old.
I have copied files from my original /var directory from the root partition, but these are dated Jan 2011. I have installed alot of other stuff since that date, so this is totally out of sync with what's actually installed on the system.
Is there some way I can use my backed up copies of /var/lib/rpm/Packages to get the RPM database back in sync with what's actually installed please?
I understand that this is the only file I need to do a fresh rebuild of the RPM database, but am not sure how to go about doing it.
Any help would be really much appreciated, as I don't want to have to do a fresh installation right now.

The "history-making" stock exchange nuptials now under way have revealed once and for all how globalized capital markets have become. Just consider the United Nations of characters who masterminded the deals. Canada's TMX Group, which is run by an American, announced plans last week to merge with the London Stock Exchange, of which a Frenchman is CEO. Shortly after that, the German Deutsche Börse AG, led by a Swiss executive, said it was in talks to buy New York's NYSE Euronext, whose chairman hails from Holland. But all that intermingling in the boardrooms did little to prepare people for the idea that the Toronto Stock Exchange is about to become a whole lot less Canadian.
Since the deals became public, critics have worried about what they entail. A columnist in Montreal's La Presse said the transaction with London marks "the beginning of the end for ultimate Canadian control" of the stock market. For some in the U.S., the overture from Germany for what the Wall Street Journal called the "citadel of American capitalism" stung particularly hard. Officially, the arrangement is a merger, but most see it as a takeover, and John Whitehead, a former co-chairman of Goldman Sachs Group, said the sale of the New York Stock Exchange is "an insult to all America," while Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money on CNBC, bemoaned, "Everything is for sale in this country."
In presenting the offer from London, TMX Group CEO Thomas Kloet and LSE chief executive Xavier Rolet went to great lengths to present it as a "merger of equals." But looking at the terms of the $3.2-billion all-share agreement, which would give the U.K. company control of 55 per cent of the combined business, Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan said it doesn't appear all that equal to him. Nor is he keen on the idea that Dubai, which currently owns nearly 21 per cent of the LSE, will have a major seat at the table. "I'm not sure I want them owning our stock exchange," he told one newspaper. Duncan has the power to veto the deal, as does Quebec, since the TMX Group was formed after the 2008 merger of the TSX Group and the Montreal Exchange.
Looming in the background is the Harper government's decision last fall to block Australia's BHP Billiton from buying Potash Corp. amid a populist backlash. Potash was classified as a "strategic asset," which raises the obvious question—if an abundantly available mineral buried beneath Saskatchewan is strategic, what does that make the country's primary stock exchange?
Industry Minister Tony Clement, no doubt scanning his Twitter feed to gauge Canadians' feelings on the matter, said Ottawa will review the merger. That didn't come as a surprise, though. Under the Investment Canada Act, Ottawa must look at any foreign takeover deal valued at more than $299 million. The review will examine whether the deal will offer a "net benefit" to Canada, and the process could last at least as long as 10 weeks.
Clement has an incentive to drag this out as long as he can. Letting Washington weigh in first on the tie-up between Deutsche Börse and the NYSE would make his job much easier. If the German-U.S. deal gets the go-ahead, Clement can argue it would send a terrible message to foreign investors should Canada shut its doors to the British. On the other hand, if the U.S. government or regulators shoot down the Germans, Ottawa has cover to do the same. In other words, if you want to know how the TMX-LSE deal will play out, just watch Pennsylvania Avenue.
So far the proposed acquisition of the NYSE is more notable for what hasn't been said, than what has. The response to the what many call a takeover bid has been akin to a loud yawn. Aside from a few outraged voices, there's been nothing of the backlash one might have expected. Under the terms of the deal, which values NYSE Euronext at US$10 billion, Deutsche Börse, which has a market cap of around US$15 billion, will control 60 per cent of the seats on the combined company's board of directors. The deal needs approval of regulators in both the U.S. and Europe, but experts don't foresee any problems in Washington. In fact, the biggest concern lawmakers seem to have at this point is that the NYSE, otherwise known as the Big Board, should at least retain its name in the domestic market. At a news conference announcing the deal, NYSE Euronext chief executive Duncan Niederauer assured reporters he had no plans to start calling it "the Big Börse."

Federal grants fund 11 public transportation projects in Michigan
Nine public transportation systems in Michigan have won competitive grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The grants announced Thursday total nearly $44 million.
The biggest grant worth close to $7 million will replace the existing bus station for the transit system in Port Huron. It'll be more centrally located so transfers won't take as long.
The grants will also build new environmentally certified bus stations in Holland and Alpena.
Millions of dollars will go to replace worn out busses in Metro-Detroit, Ann Arbor, Flint, and Lansing. Many of these new busses will feature either hybrid-electric, compressed natural gas or biodiesel technology.
The state has a pretty cool chart comparing the various bus systems across Michigan.

We all thought a lot of issues would get fixed once beta ended - sadly we were all wrong!
But, let's at least try to get the best out of it!
We still have A LOT of problems with people leaving games too early - it ruins the game for the other 9 persons.
If a person decided to leave early in the game - the team often trier to go 4v5 - which isn't impossible! (hard though, but not impossible).
But, for some unknown reason - when playing 4v5 - the PSR gain/loss isn't recalculated.
This makes PSR ratings even more un-precise - since it takes more skill to win 4v5 vs. 5v5 !
I see absolutely NO reason NOT to re-calculate PSR based! Naturally it should NOT count for kicks - as that could be abused!
Is should of cause be based on the total played time for the game - compared to the leaver!

Behaving according to values leads to euphoria and inspiration. And as I (smilingly) say sometimes, this is what saves the soul. Selecting to be alone if you should, fight and stand tall, saves the soul and mind. Selecting to be smart, refusing to compromise without reacting foolishly, saves your dignity and spirit. Being a winner in your perceived world by just applying your aura and presence, makes you a master. Winning the needs of your own self and those your perceived world imposes upon you, makes you an Overman. © G. V., 08-18-2013

Perfect Summer Look: Just a Little Pop of Color…
Summer is here which means as temperatures rise so do the chances of your makeup melting, fading, settling into creases, and sliding off your face. So not only should you be changing your skincare regimen (unless you're ultra-dry, swap out your usual creams for lightweight lotions) you're going to want to downsize your makeup routine.
This summer I've found that just by adding a fun-colored eyeliner to my upper lash line I've created an instant "going out" look. Keep in mind I have lash extensions, so you should follow with your favorite mascara. To make sure your liner lasts the night, prime your eyelids first with concealer and/or a flesh or ivory-colored eye shadow like Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow Ivory ($21).
Let's see some COLOR!!!
Green Eyeliner:
As you can see, Hayden Panettiere rocks this emerald eyeliner, making her green eyes glow. This color is perfect for both green and hazel eyes, but also makes blues eyes look more teal. I personally have dark blue eyes and I've been wearing the Palm Leaf (a forest green) of the Paul & Joe Las Palmas Eyeliner & Crayon Duo ($25), which makes my eyes look brighter and take on a more aqua hue.
For a bit more drama like January Jones, use a liquid green liner like MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Liner 4 Diamond Lagoon Green ($23) to make a thick winged eye, and then line the lower lash line with a shimmery green shadow like Urban Decay Eyeshadow Mildew ($18).

We all know Oscar Nominee Jennifer Lawrence knows how to rock a red carpet since she transformed every red carpet into a runway during her Hunger Games media tour. She has not disappointed this award season especially considering that for most of the season Jennifer (yes, we're obviously on a first name basis) should have been in bed or in the hospital rather than strutting her stuff on the red carpet since she was plagued with illness for most of the award shows. You would never know she even had a sniffle based on her photos — every look was classic and flawless. Obviously the only way to pay true homage to The Girl on Fire leading up to her big night is to recreate one of her best red carpet looks. I chose her SAG Awards look:
First I want to introduce and thank our lovely model, Maghan McDowell, a vey talented writer who currently covers Style and Living for the San Francisco Chronicle. She was very patient with my non-makeup artist methods and didn't bat an eyelash when I had to clean up the side of her face because I had managed to drag coral makeup (don't ask; I was experimenting) all over her cheek and chin.

Sometimes I have the worst luck… Today I woke up all all ready and excited for my Google+ Hangout (If you don't know what that it is, it's like a video chat that is broadcasted live on Google+ and streams to YouTube). It was hosted by the insanely beautiful (hate her!) Samantha Lim, Editor-in-Chief of the huge online fashion magazine FashionIndie, featuring myself, Christina Farrell, amazing makeup artist and founder of the The Makeup Blogger, and Stacy Reid, Founder and CEO of Tinte Cosmetics (which thanks to Stacy's generosity I will be trying soon!).
So what happened? Well, Murphy's Law reared its ugly head and my Internet decided to take a hiatus. So, unfortunately I missed the first few minutes of the Hangout and once I finally got into the Hangout I faded in and out and even froze a couple times (I could hear the others saying, "She's a frozen kitten!"). Now my drama aside, Christina did an adorable tutorial for an 80s costume and Stacy walked through several different viable Halloween looks. You should definitely check it out here.
After the Hangout was over, I figured it would simply be a waste of a good kitty cat look if I didn't do a YouTube tutorial! Don't worry about writing down any of the products since I'm listing them for you at the end of this post:

Unless you've been hiding all month in a secluded cabin without television or internet (which by the way wouldn't be terrible if it was perhaps at a luxury spa), even your husband can tell you (since all the NFL players and coaches have incorporated bright pink accessories into their uniforms) that it's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month! As ladies, it is imperative we support this cause and what better way to do it than buy some delicious beauty products? I've rounded up a few of my favorite products that are giving back with every purchase this month:
Murad Hydrate For Hope Set ($49.50): This is the perfect set to prep your skin for the cold weather ahead! You get full-sizes of the Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture (retails for $65.00) and Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture for Eyes (retails for $60.00), both which will protect even the most sensitive skin from the bitter cold! When you buy this limited-edition set, Murad is donating 10% from the sale of each set sold to retailers to the City of Hope's women's cancer programs.
TATCHA's Limited Edition BCA Moisture Rich Silk Cream ($150): This is one of my favorite new luxury skincare lines (which I intend to write about more in-depth in a future Sunday Splurge) for its delicious ingredients and results for calming my drama queen skin. The gel-cream consistency of this cream gives a surprisingly big hydrating punch. TATCHA is donating $25 of each sale to BreastCancer.org.
M. Steves RHSO Power-Packed Ultra-Nourishing Boost ($64): This dry-finish oil helps improve the appearance of scars, fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage and uneven skin tone. Along with Rose Hip Seed Oil, this boost contains essential fatty acids, an antioxidant (vitamin C), and a natural retinol (vitamin A) to help hydrate and brighten skin. The best way to incorporate this oil into your skin regimen is to add a drop to your daily moisturizer and apply. To help support the fight against breast cancer, M. Steves skincare is donating a portion of proceeds from the RHSO Power-Packed Ultra-Nourishing Boost purchased during October to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Bobbi Brown 'Pink Peony' Illuminating Bronzer ($45): This is one of those magical powders that you would never guess would look amazing on your skin. You will throw your NARS Orgasm to the waste side when you see how flattering and long-lasting this "illuminating bronzer" is, giving every skin color a warm "just blushed" glow. Bobbi Brown is donating $10 of every sale of this set during the month of October to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®.

I can't get over this f'ing heat! Okay, I know I just wrote about a melt-proof eye, but with this ungodly heat you're going to need more than just a waterproof eyeshadow stick. We're officially in crisis lock-down mode. When my husband and I traveled to Columbus, Ohio this past week for the 4th, I was genuinely traumatized (and I hate to admit it but visibly sweating, gross!) by the humid 97 degree conditions. We went to my 20th high school reunion (yes, I'm old) at around 7 pm and I was a disaster by 7:07 (and by disaster I mean fellow classmates were picking little pieces of napkin off my sticky face because I was couldn't stop blotting with taco truck napkins).

I know I'm supposed to be writing about simplifying beauty. And I get that. I know there are tons of women out there who don't have a ton of time to devote to skincare. I don't have children yet, and as of a little over two months ago I am writing full-time (okay "full time" may be stretching it), so I have plenty of time to sit on my little vintage tangerine-colored stool and play with all my toners, creams, and serums, lined up like good little soldiers on their pedestals (where they belong). So yes, I will admit my AM skincare routine isn't exactly "routine." Before I even sit down at my tangerine stool, it takes me a good ten minutes to cleanse my skin with the Bobbi Brown 'Extra' Balm Rinse ($58). I give myself an intense facial massage, enjoying the sensation of the thick balm melting into a butter as I massage it in small circles all over my face. Every now and then I'll stop and cup my hands around my nose and slowly inhale the pungent citrus scent. Ahhh…
Then once I get to my little skincare station (see above photo), I could spend a good 15 minutes doing a a basic routine or 30 minutes to go the extra mile and give myself a mini-facial. If I'm testing products, forget about it. I could be there all morning!

From the runways to the subways, I'm seeing nothing but neon.
Neon makeup and hair started lighting up the runways last year, and since then this 80s staple trend quickly blinded the masses with an explosion of day-glo fashion and beauty products. Walking down the streets of NYC, I see everything from young girls with fluorescent hair streaks and matching lipstick to career fashionistas furiously typing away on their smart phones with nails painted in the season's latest electric colors.
Don't be intimidated into thinking that if you incorporate a little neon, you're a couple of leg warmers away from becoming Pat Benatar. Just be careful to tone down your outfit and the rest of your makeup (think neutrals across the board) to avoid anything aggressively offensive. Kidding. (kind of kidding)
If you're not in the mood to do a full eye of makeup, just add a little pop of color with neon mascara, as seen on the models at Stella McCartney AW 2012 Paris. Makeup Artist Master Pat McGrath used Cover Girl Lashblast 24 Hour Mascara coated with a blue pigment gel to achieve the look. At home, apply two coats of your favorite volume-pumping mascara in black, let it dry, and then coat with an electric blue mascara like Tokidoki Punk Lash Mascara in Baby Rocker.
Or, for a more subtle look, you can swipe a brightly-colored liquid liner along your upper lash line like my minxy blonde friend Kat (see below). Kat used Sephora Liquid Liner in Fancy Blue to achieve her look:
Go bold or go home. Maria rocks a different day-glo shade every day. She doesn't care if it's 8 AM in Midtown Manhattan on a Monday, she'll be wearing a fluorescent fuchsia. Try a bold pink like Mirabella Lip Colour in Over the Top, which is highly pigmented color yet doesn't bleed. Or, add a pop of orange (after all, Tangerine Tango is the Pantone color of the year) try MAC Pro Amplified Creme Lipstick in Neon Orange, or go for a more sheer shade like Bobbi Brown's Sheer Lip Gloss in Citrus.
If you feel like you're on the cusp of being too shy to pull off this look, take baby steps and paint your nails a different blinding hue every week (or day, if you happen to have the time and dedication). Every brand seems to have a color story this Spring involving neon. Have fun experimenting with the under $10 brands like China Glaze Poolside Collection ($6.50 per bottle / $17.75 for set of 6) and invest wisely in the premium lines like Dior ($23 per bottle). Make sure you test the level of opacity. It may look bold in the bottle, but sheer once its on your nail. To make a neon pop even more, apply an opaque white like Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in White On as your base coat and then paint two coats of your neon.

Sparkle Motion for New Year's Eve!
I should have included "in moderation" in my headline. A little too much sparkle can go very wrong, very quickly. Let's talk about how old you are…
- Teens: Glitter is your friend. You are young enough to get away with it, so look like Edward from Twilight tonight and go crazy. Seriously, if I were 20 years younger, I would apply a neutral like Revlon Diamond Lust in Bedroom Bronze all over my lid and then dip a Q-tip in lash gel (for falsies) or vaseline and trace my lash line. Then, I would pull out the big guns and dip a Q-tip or flat-tipped brush in drugstore glitter pat it on, or if I had been saving my pennies, I would invest in MAKE UP FOR EVER Glitter in Blue 5 or Purple 9. If I were 17, I would also be all about the glitter gloss, so I would coat my lips with LA Color lip gloss (I could mix every color since they are only $2 each).
- Twenties: Ladies, sparkle responsibly here. If you're under 25, go bolder. If you're over 25, your cuspy for the full-on glitter (even for New Year's). After 25, the size of the glitter gets smaller and more milled. Your best bet, regardless of which side of 25 you're on is MAKE UP FOR EVER Diamond Powder. I'll let Sephora explain, "Diamond Powder combines both the pearly iridescence of Star Powder and the brightness of Glitter. The particles are finer and literally radiate extreme brilliance as soon as they are applied." I would use these powders as a wash over my entire lid, to line my upper and lower lash lines, and to highlight cheekbones and brow bones, and dab at the center of my cupid's bow.
- Thirties: This is when we transition away from glitter and think shimmer. Maria was generous enough to give me the Vincent Longo Amaretti Diamond Collection baked eyeshadow set for the holidays. These shadows are gorgeous and perfect for creating a shimmery smokey eye. Just like their website instructs, use a sponge tip applicator (like the ones you always throw away) or a Q-tip (in case you're like me and you did throw them all away) and draw a line on your upper lash line with one of the darker colors. It's okay if your line is a bit messy, because you are going to use a small blending brush or the side of a flat-tipped brush to blend the line upwards towards your crease. This gives it that gradual fade. Then, I may smudge a little into my lower lash line, depending on how dramatic I'm feeling. I will finish off with dipping my ring finger in the copper leaf shadow and pressing it into the inner corners of my eyes.
- Forties and Beyond: Okay ladies, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know here (and I apologize if this is harsh), but glitter and shimmer may not be age appropriate unless done subtly, VERY subtly. What I consider subtle… taking a nice neutral shimmer like Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash in Champagne or Rose Gold and applying it with a large eye shadow brush as a wash over your entire lid. Then, add a cream highlighter like Urban Decay Urbanglow to your brow bone (to open your eyes and make them pop) and from your temples to the center of your cheeks (to highlight cheekbones) and BLEND.
Don't hesitate to break my age barriers and combine some of the tips above (just keep in mind, the older you are, the more dangerous sparkle becomes).
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy 2012!! SPARKLE ON!

I stumbled onto this happy little product after I raided the Lauder Company Store and bought a skin sampler of Bobbi Brown's EXTRA skincare line. The other products were nice but nothing to make me continuously feel the softness of my face (which is an obvious no-no since I should never touch my face) or obsessively keep taking in deep inhalations of the delicious aromas of the magical little jar. To be quite honest, very few products make the short list (Decleor Aroma Night Neroli Essential Night Balm is really the only product that comes to mind) of excelling in both categories.
The Bobbi Brown EXTRA Balm Rinse looks like frozen orange juice in a jar, with a thick, slightly gritty texture that melts with the warmth of your skin (you apply it to dry skin). It smells strongly of a fresh citrus puree (YUM). I am so obsessed with this product that it's made cleansing my skin a daily spa ritual (okay, twice daily). I know practically speaking (It's kind of pricey at $55 a jar; and I'm not known for using products sparingly), I should only use this at night when I have makeup and grime to remove, but my GOD how do I resist the urge to waking up to smelling fresh citrus puree? This product is probably to blame for me being 10 minutes late to work the past few weeks. I take my time rubbing the balm into my skin, allowing the scents and oils to escape, giving my face a little mini-massage. When it comes time to rinse, I splash my face with cool water and then take the rest off with a cool water-soaked cotton pad, leaving my skin clean, soft, and hydrated.
I know I won't be able to keep up these twice-daily antics in the summer since I won't be needing all that extra moisture, but something tells me I will probably keep the pretty jar on my shelf so at least I can breath in the sunshine every morning.

With the holiday season in full swing, I've decided to dedicate the rest of my Sunday Splurge posts until Christmas to the art of gluttonous gift-giving (or getting). These items you will read about in the coming weeks all have two things in common — 1) I don't own them 2) I would like to own them. (Who wouldn't?)
Okay, so if I'm going for gluttony I will say I would obviously LOVE to have the version of the Party Collection Travel Kit that is overflowing with Bobbi Brown product. It's $1000, filled with items I already have or will never use, but the Veruca Salt in me can't help but to still want it. When I first saw the kit — all the colors from the 2012 Fall Color Story in every product plus her gentle, great-smelling skincare — my mind went to a childhood memory…
I was very heavily into the Barbie scene (shocking), and for my birthday one year I got a Barbie Department Store that came with all the store items. Once I had set up my perfect little pink and clear plastic displays I got to fill them with Barbie hats, bags, shoes, and jewelry. And, the piece de resistance — there were even little pink plastic shopping bags with the Barbie logo! It was the gift that just kept on giving. But of course I didn't need all those extra Barbie accessories. I either already had them or would never use them. The department store display cabinets and shelves were the real gift.
With that said, Bobbi Brown also sells the empty travel kit separately. By looking at the photo above, I can see the kit holds a hell of a lot of product, and the silver will look adorable in my bathroom next to my mirrored Tarte jewelry box. And, it's only $115. Totally doable!
So, my darling readers, I encourage you to forward this to your loved ones as a subtle hint, but please make sure you alert them to scroll down to the last paragraph…

St. Ives Fresh Skin Invigorating Apricot Scrub
Makes cheeks bright and skin look healthy
This is a great daily cleanser for the money. It makes my skin glow, almost a sun kissed look. Great for controling oily skin. I've never found it harsh, stingy or too strong in anyway.

Here Comes the Rain
On Internet chat sites and at the water cooler, cops have been warning each other not to drink and drive in the wake of charges against a Chicago Police detective accused of killing two young men last week in an allegedly alcohol-fueled wreck.
Officers have been urging each other to grab their colleagues' keys or hail a cab for those who appear intoxicated.
Police Supt. Jody Weis stressed Monday that he is serious about cracking down on cops who drive drunk.

this first creation spun from a skirt I got at a garage sale.I wanted to do something
with PVC coffins and so I cut up some old PVC fabric and safety pinned them on to the skirt.
I'm going to safety pin on a coffin patch I got later,around the center
This was a plain black skirt I was looking to update.I got the shirt from vampress
on gothicauctions.com,and cut the shirt into two pieces.I then pinned the two panels
onto the front of the skirt.
This skirt had alot of different inspirations for it.I cut up an old lace shawl,and
safety pinned pieces in random places on the front,back,and side slits.I love the way it
trails behind me when I walk.
I found this men's blazer (yes,blazer.I have the shoulders of a line backer)
when I was dumpster diving.Originally,I was just going to keep it as a straight
black blazer for job interviews and such but I always wanted one of those
funky furry coats from the 90's that I could NEVER wear because of said shoulders.
so I cut up some fur I bought at walmart,and safety pinned the fur into the
cuffs and collar carefully.most of the pins are actually pretty well hid underneath
the fur ^.^ I made another one like this and sold it back in the summer,but one side
was longer than the other (I got the idea from kelis' cut up blazer she wore on SNL).
with the black of this blazer,I also cut up the front and added it to the back
to not only make it longer,but to make it look like those old fashioned men's tuxedo
I made this shirt for the very first oddball last January.The shirt was originally
HUGE,but I cut the sides apart,and safety pinned them closer to give me a
closer fit.Then I wanted to do something with the actual sleeves,so I cut the
sleeves off the long sleeved shirt and made long flowing,kimono type sleeves with
some sateen fabric and I hooked them to the top of the sleeve with a chain of safety pins.
I started making this skirt when I was 18.I started with a simple black skirt,
and adding zippers.Then I added some black mesh fabric to the sides to have a fishtail
look.Then I started cutting up shirts with cool smart ass sayings on them,and adding them
on,along with some DIY patches.three years later,I have the coolest DIY skirt on the block.
I made this shirt for halloween of 2003.I cut apart an old shirt a friend gave me,
and pinned the eye in the center.I got some silky spider fabric along with lace
and added kimono style layered sleeves to the shirt.You can either pin the sleeves to have
them have a closer fit,or let them be loose.
This is a work in progress.because its a men's shirt,I've been struggling with
making new sleeves (when they were HUGE men's sleeves before).I added a gold trim
to keep the shirt from sagging on top,and some cute skull orchids to the sides.
I'm hoping to have this all done before I go back to school on the 31 so it looks
absolutely faboo ;) Btw,I'm Cherokee,blackfoot,filipino,dutch,irish,a
I know most of them aren't *too* EGL (and I know they sure as hell aren't pure EGL items),but I still wanted to get some feedback on the design level.Most have some kind of gothic,JROCK,japanese streetwear,or lolita influence.Thanks for taking a look =D

Special issue on carbon monoxide and exhaled biomarkers in human disease. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 21383483 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review |
Human exhaled breath is a complex mixture of low molecular weight gases, containing a multitude of organic and inorganic molecules. Recent intense research interest has focused on the promise that fluctuations in the relative concentrations of the molecular components of exhaled breath can not only be monitored in clinical settings, but can also potentially serve as diagnostic indices of disease, including lung and airways diseases, and other systemic diseases [1-6]. To examine this hypothesis, a number of approaches have been applied, including the direct measurement of expired gases, the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOC) on exhaled breath, as well as the analysis of pH and volatile/non-volatile compounds in the exhaled breath condensate (EBC). In general, the primary advantage of applying exhaled breath analyses to human clinical diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring is that these techniques are relatively non-invasive [1-6]. This special issue on exhaled biomarkers in human disease begins with an overview of the clinical analysis of EBC with emphasis on asthma diagnostics, in a summary by Kazani and Israel [7]. As described in this article, a large number of compounds can be detected in EBC using spectrometric methods. These include lipid metabolites, cytokines, hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide (NO) metabolites, and oxidative stress markers. The article discusses the relative utility of these species as biomarkers of asthma. In addition to EBC, a major portion of exhaled breath research has focused on low molecular weight gas analysis, such as the measurement of exhaled NO, and carbon monoxide (CO). Among these, the analysis of NO in human airway disease has been the most widely studied [8]. The reader is referred to other recent monographs for discussion on the predictive value of NO in breath analysis with respect to lung and airways diseases [8-10]. In addition to NO, a number of studies have focused on CO, which is the subject of this special issue. Although these two simple diatomic gases diverge in biochemical properties (NO being reactive as a free radical while CO is relatively inert), both represent the products of endogenous enzymatic processes [11]. Both NO and CO have been proposed as biomarkers of inflammatory tissue injury [8-13], though CO may also selectively reflect increased oxidative stress in the lung [14]. Exhaled CO (E-CO) may originate from the inspiration of ambient CO, as found in smoke and air pollution, but also from endogenous metabolic sources that include heme metabolism catalyzed by the heme oxygenase (HO, E.C. 1:14:99:3) enzymes [11, 15]. HO, the principle source of endogenous CO, occurs as both constitutive (HO-2) and inducible (HO-1) isozymes [16]. The expression of HO-1 is inducible by a wide spectrum of cellular stress conditions, including those that elicit inflammatory or pro-oxidant states [17, 18]. Therefore, endogenous CO generation attributable to the HO system can generally increase in response to systemic stress. E-CO can arise in the airways, as the product of inducible HO-1 activity in the airway epithelium, alveolar macrophages and other lung cell types, as a consequence of inflammation. CO in the airways may also arise from the alveolae in equilibrium with carboxyhemoglobin (Hb-CO) in the pulmonary circulation [11]. Elevations in Hb-CO in turn may reflect increases in inhaled ambient CO, increased HO activity in peripheral tissues, or increased systemic hemoglobin turnover. E-CO increases dramatically in active smokers, and can be used to monitor smoking cessation. The dramatic increase in E-CO arising in smokers without airways disease is a confounding variable in attempts to use E-CO to generally detect disease [19]. A number of early studies relying on measurements of E-CO have been limited by relatively insensitive methods for detection of this gas. For example measurements of E-CO relying on electrochemical detection methods typically report values in the parts per million (ppm) range, whereas equivalent studies focused on NO report values in the parts per billion (ppb) range. Recent studies have attempted to implement more sensitive methodologies for the detection of CO, such as infrared laser spectroscopic detection systems [20]. The article in this special issue by Sowa et al [21] features new experimental methodology for the detection of CO on exhaled breath. In this study the authors measure E-CO by monitoring (13)CO using the technique of cavity leak out spectroscopy (CALOS). Using this technique, the authors describe acute exercise-dependent as well as long term natural variations in E-CO output in healthy humans. A number of recent and past studies have reported associations between E-CO levels and various disease states. For example, modulations in E-CO levels have been observed in critically ill or post-surgical patients and those with pulmonary diseases associated with inflammation, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, cystic fibrosis, and bacterial infections [22-28]. The potential application of E-CO as a predictive tool for assessing pulmonary inflammation and disease is summarized in this issue in the articles by Gajdócsy and Horváth [29] and Morimatsu et al [30]. The current evidence for the role of E-CO as a marker of various acute and chronic diseases of the airways, including asthma and COPD, and of lung transplantation, is reviewed by Gajdócsy and Horváth. In a related review, Morimatsu et al discuss the observation and implications of E-CO measurements in critically ill patients with systemic inflammation and/or sepsis. Finally, in an article by Sethi et al [31], the authors examine differential effects of methacholine and allergen challenges on the exhaled levels of CO and NO in a cohort of adult subjects with atopic asthma. The authors conclude that bronchospasm negatively modulates E-CO and exhaled NO values, whereas the inflammatory stimulus of allergen exposure increases exhaled NO. In conclusion, many studies in recent years have collectively reported the occurrence of changes in E-CO levels as a function of disease state, though some studies have reported negative findings [32]. Despite improvements in the standardization and sensitivity of methods to detect E-CO, the predictive value of E-CO measurements as a diagnostic tool in human diseases remains uncertain. Nevertheless, we are optimistic that the collection of articles in this issue will stimulate further interest in this field. Continued efforts in this area might eventually yield tests and procedures of clinical value, and undoubtedly will shed further light on fundamental aspects of human metabolism.

Contrary to the reviews I read earlier about this place, I was not that impressed. The room was cold, the shower had little pressure and the toilet was... difficult to flush. Breakfast was good, and it's not too far from the old town and Edinburgh castle (although it was definitely farther than I thought it would be). I was expecting a bit more home-like feeling from this place, but it was no different than a hotel with conditions not being that great. Won't stay here again next time I am in Edinburgh. 来自 Vancouver 的 Amanda 于 2013-11-29 发表点评

Hiking in Pinnacle Park, Sylva, North Carolina
Previously used as the Town of Sylva's watershed, this 1,100 acre tract of land is now open as a public park. The Pinnacle Park Foundation was licensed to begin building hiking trails here in 1991, and today, several excellent trails and hiking opportunities exist.
"The Pinnacle", for which the Park is named, is a sharp-topped ridge at an elevation of just over 5000'. Extending south from the main ridge of the Plott Balsam Mountains, it stands over 2500' above the valley floor, and is visible from the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway if you look closely (AS A PASSENGER!). Regardless of whether you spot it, you don't have to look closely to see the Plott Balsams looming high above, and the park covers a swath of land from near the base all the way up to the peaks of the mountain.
From its peak is, not surprisingly, an incredible 360° view of the surrounding mountains and valley in which Sylva sits. You can also clearly see the Exit 85 split between the Expressway and NC 105, and the latter leading off to Western Carolina University. Being so close to Western, it is a popular hiking spot for students as well.
Hiking Trails
There is one main trail in the park, which starts at the back of the parking area and ends at The Pinnacle itself. (Actually, two paths start at the parking area - one behind a gate - but they both join back together very shortly to become the main trail). It is an old roadbed, so it's wide and rocky, and it's steep - not terribly so, but it's relentlessly uphill.
The trail follows a small stream - Fisher Creek - in the beginning, and crosses some small tributaries near the top. The stream has some water diversion structures and even a small pond and dam near the bottom, remaining from the days when it was used as a drinking water supply. Further up, the stream has some small cascades. The forest is mainly mixed hardwoods with one or two spruces near the summit, and a semi-heath bald on the Pinnacle itself. If you do venture out onto the Pinnacle, be warned that there is some minor rock climbing involved, and the sheer cliffs and drop-offs are to be avoided.
From the main trail, faint side roads and skid paths lead off in all directions. Even though there are no blazes or signs for the main trail, all the side paths are overgrown and it should be obvious which is the main trail, with one exception if you are trying to reach the Pinnacle. There is a split about 2/3 of the way up, and you must make a left hand turn there. A fairly well used path goes right from that unmarked split. Both trails are shown fairly accurately on the USGS Topo map of the area. For these reasons, it would be a good place to make sure you bring a map and a compass "just in case".
From the Smoky Mountain News:

From the Sylva Herald:
Pinnacle Park Foundation receives $5,000 to assist in construction of accessible trail (link broken)
Local student clears trail between Pinnacle Park, Waterrock Knob (link broken)
(The second article documented the construction of a trail link to the Blue Ridge Parkway at Waterrock Knob, but the trail is now again overgrown and not recommended. However, a maintained link would make it possible to hike from near the valley floor in Sylva to the top of 6214' Waterrock Knob - presumably an acceptable peak bagging route for the Carolina Mountain Club's
South Beyond 6000 program.)
From downtown Sylva, take Skyland Drive east (SR 1432) and turn left onto Fisher Creek Road (SR 1446). The parking area is at the end of Fisher Creek Road. Note: the access drive to the parking is short, but was quite rough last time I visited.

Fair Park Update - May, 2012
Welcome to the Blink Network!
Installed just days before our highly anticipated and successful Earth Day Dallas event, Fair Park now has two electric vehicle Blink network charging stations located near Grand Avenue at Gate 5. This means that you can now charge your electric vehicles while visiting a festival, attraction or museum at Fair Park
Anyone can use the Blink Charging Stations and standard parking rates apply. The charges are intended for short term use of about one to four hours. Once the charge is complete, patrons who have created settings via the Blink Network will receive a text or email letting them know when charging is complete. We encourage EV owners to move their vehicles when charging is complete to make room for others wanting to use the service.
The EV Project (Electric Vehicle) is the largest rollout of electric vehicle infrastructure in history and is funded through the Department of Energy and the American Recovery Reinvestment Act. The project will collect and analyze data of use and evaluate the effectiveness of charge infrastructure.
The service is free through the trial period scheduled to end in 2013. If you would like to secure a Blink card or need more information on the program, please be sure to visit www.BlinkNetwork.com or call 888.998.BLINK. Should you forget your Blink Network card, please make our security officer at Gate 5 aware and he will notify us so that we can provide your access to the system.
We welcome your thoughts and feedback in the months ahead. Visit us again soon and discover the many offerings at Fair Park, Texas where one fun thing leads to another.
Daniel Huerta
Executive General Manager, Fair Park, Texas

Current Version: May 2, 2011
Summarizes University policy and procedures with respect to the preparation, review and submission of proposals for external sponsorship. Requirements related to budget justification incorporated in December 1999. Requirement related to commitment of PI effort for research projects was established in March 2001 and revised in May 2011. Clarification related to student-initiated proposals added in 2009 upon recommendation of the Committee on Research.
Stanford depends to a large extent on external sources to support programs of research, instruction, and scholarship. Due to the growing complexity of conditions attached to sponsored projects, plus a trend toward greater diversity in sources of support, this policy will apply to the preparation, review and submission of proposals for external sponsorship.
This policy applies to all proposals for work to be carried out in Stanford academic departments, laboratories, administrative units, and at Stanford Health Services. In addition, the terms of this policy also apply to proposals which commit Stanford resources for projects to be performed off-campus, including affiliated institutions, such as the Children's Hospital at Stanford, the Palo Alto Veterans Administration Hospital, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, etc.
See Research Policy Handbook document 3.2, Definitions and Categories of Sponsored Projects, for further discussion of factors which determine whether a project is a sponsored project, and for which proposals must be handled in accordance with this policy.
The Vice Provost and Dean of Research retains the authority to approve exceptions to this policy.
The Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) is the central administrative office responsible for submitting proposals and accepting awards on behalf of Stanford University. The Director of OSR can grant various levels of signature authority to others both inside and outside of OSR to submit proposals and/or accept awards, as appropriate. Sponsored Project proposals must be submitted and awards accepted only by individuals authorized to sign the necessary documents. Questions in this regard may be directed to OSR staff or to the Office of the Dean of Research.
Adequate lead time is needed for review because sponsors increasingly are enforcing proposal submission dates stringently. OSR requires five working days to review proposals, and reviews in the order in which completed proposals are received (see memo).
Proposals which involve any exception to University policy, e.g., requests for PI exceptions or Facilities and Administrative (F&A), i.e., indirect cost waivers, are subject to the approval of the appropriate School Dean, and, in some cases, the approval of the Office of the Vice Provost and Dean of Research. Such approvals should be sought as soon as practical, and must be received prior to submission of the proposal to OSR.
As a result of negotiating the FY99 F&A (indirect cost) rates, Stanford has committed to the Office of Naval Research that written budget justifications will be included in sponsored project proposal budgets for costs normally treated as F&A costs that are proposed as direct costs, except when not required by the sponsor (e.g., NIH Modular Grants). This requirement includes proposed direct costs for equipment, operations and maintenance, and administrative salaries and other administrative expenses (see Research Policy Handbook 3.6, Charging for Administrative and Technical Expenses). Particular care must be given to the A-21 and Cost Accounting Standard (CAS) 502 requirement that costs incurred for the same purpose in like circumstances shall be treated consistently as either a direct cost or an F&A cost.
The following are key elements that are to be included in budget justifications:
Some sponsors provide rebudgeting authority that would allow a PI, after an award is received and the project is in progress, to rebudget awarded dollars within the project scope. If, during the course of the project the PI becomes aware of other expenditure needs that were not included in the proposed budget, rebudgeting within the sponsor's provisions is permitted. This includes equipment, operations and maintenance, or administrative costs that are normally treated as F&A costs. Of course, all other provisions of Stanford and sponsor policy for acceptability of the costs as a direct charge must be met.
When costs are explicitly listed and justified in the sponsor accepted budget, grant/contract administrators, auditors, and sponsoring agencies can easily understand the nature of the costs and their allowability under the regulations. The primary purpose of a justification is to provide support for the funds requested to ensure adequate funding. Experience has shown that including budget justifications in the proposal increases the likelihood that the sponsor will award the cost.
In the circumstances where a student has initiated a research project, a proposal will normally need to be submitted with a faculty member as Principal Investigator. The provisions for rare exceptions to the policy on Principal Investigator eligibility are applicable (see RPH 2.4, Principal Investigator Eligibility and Criteria for Exceptions).
Only members of the Academic Council are eligible to submit proposals to outside agencies. Academic Council members include the ranks of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor and Professor, and in the non-tenure line, Professor and Associate Professor of [Subject], (Teaching), (Performance), (Clinical), (Research), or (Applied Research), as well as certain senior University staff.
Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by the appropriate School Dean, and by the Vice Provost and Dean of Research, as outlined in Research Policy Handbook 2.4, Principal Investigatorship (PI) Eligibility and Criteria for Exceptions. A copy of the approval memorandum must be part of the final proposal package submitted to the Office of Sponsored Research.
Stanford University requires all Principal Investigators to review their obligations for stewardship of sponsor funds and compliance with applicable regulations. For that purpose, specialized briefings are conducted. Individuals may also certify their review of this material on a web site (http://www.stanford.edu/dept/DoR/PIship/).
Those ineligible for principal investigator status may be identified as Associate Investigators, but not as Co-Principal Investigators.
Professors Emeriti must be recalled to active duty during the period of any research grant or contract for which they are Principal Investigator. This is done by the academic department, which submits a Short-Form Appointment Request through the Dean's and the Provost's Offices. Permission to submit a proposal is contingent upon this appointment, and no formal acceptance of the grant or contract may be made until the appointment is in hand. A signature of departmental approval on the proposal routing sheet signifies the department's willingness to recall the faculty member.
Proposals must be submitted in the name of the individual who will be primarily responsible for the scientific, technical, and fiscal direction of the project. Submission of the proposal in the name of a "nominal" principal investigator who then delegates primary responsibility to an ineligible PI is inconsistent with the responsibility of Academic Council members for the intellectual direction of the University and is not permitted.
Sponsored projects should have an educational component, typically evidenced by student involvement (either with or without charge to the project), for purposes of training and support of students doing thesis or dissertation-level research.
Proposals must not result in a grant, contract, or any form of agreement whose terms would violate the policy on Openness in Research adopted by the Academic Senate (Research Policy Handbook 2.6). The University will not accept a project which violates this policy. To avoid questions of conflict of interest or non-compliance with the Openness in Research policy, the full identity of a particular sponsor must be made known for all sponsored projects. [See Openness in Research checklist.]
In cases where the principal investigator of an on-going campus-based project will be away from campus for a period of three months or more, another Academic Council member should be named as Acting PI to assume direction of the project, subject to approval of the sponsoring agency. In addition, in the case of federal grants, such absences require prior written approval by the sponsor. See discussions related to this subject in the following Research Policy Handbook documents:
4.1, | Faculty Policy on Conflict of Commitment and Interest |
3.1, | Fiscal Responsibilities of Principal Investigators |
10.3, | Acting Principal Investigatorship |
Any proposals for activities involving:
require the approval of a protocol by the appropriate Administrative Panel for Research Compliance (see Research Policy Handbook 1.4). These Panels assure Stanford's compliance with applicable federal regulations in these areas. Questions in this regard may be directed to the Research Compliance Director.
The level of effort, expressed as a percentage of the total professional effort, that a faculty member commits to spend on any sponsored project must be consistent with other academic duties. The total percentage of effort committed (1) in the budgets of active sponsored projects, (2) for cost-sharing and other contributed effort, (3) teaching, and (4) administrative efforts must not exceed 100% of the individual's total University appointment.
Stanford University requires a commitment of efort on the part of the Principal Investigator during the period in which work is being performed. This effort may be expended during the aademic year, summer quarter only, or both. Committed effort shall be direct charged or cost shared.
This requirement does NOT extend to:
If the project cannot be housed within pre-identified existing available department or laboratory space, commitments for the additional space required need the approval of the Department Chair, Dean, and other offices as appropriate unless they are of a minor remodeling nature for which funds have already been approved. The University cannot commit itself to finding incremental space for a project whose needs have not been reviewed and approved in advance.
Whenever Stanford University agrees to pay a portion of the allowable costs of a sponsored project, i.e., those costs which would otherwise be paid by the sponsor, the University has made a cost sharing commitment. Any proposal including such a commitment must be so identified on the Proposal Development & Routing Form. Note that any promise to provide effort or other services as part of a proposed project at no direct cost to the sponsor constitutes a cost sharing commitment. Voluntary effort above and beyond what was committed does not have to be treated as cost sharing. See Stanford policy on Cost Sharing, Research Policy Handbook 3.5.
Proposals that include large or complex subcontracts for specialized equipment or services should be reviewed with the OSR Contract Officer before preparing the final proposal. Subcontracts for research or development must comply with the applicable clauses of the prime contract. See also Subcontracts, Research Policy Handbook 3.7.
Public Law 95-507 requires each Government Prime Contract over $500,000 to have an approved subcontracting plan. The Procurement Department provides coordination and assistance in this regard.
When retention of consultants is proposed, advance consultation with the Procurement Department (for SLAC, the resident Staff Counsel) is encouraged. See also Retention of Consultants (Research Policy Handbook 9.5), or refer to the definition of "employer/employee relationship" in section 1 of Administrative Guide Memo 35 [pdf file].
The appropriate Department Head and Dean's Office must approve participation of faculty or staff in sponsored projects outside their own academic department or School via an authorizing signature on the Proposal Routing Sheet.
Proposals for biomedical research, including clinical trials, may require pricing information for hospital services. Contact the Research Management Group in the School of Medicine for this information.
Main campus research proposals contemplating use of the SLAC laboratory facilities require prior coordination and approval by the SLAC Associate Director for Business Services.
Stanford's policy is to apply the University's full relevant F&A cost rate to all externally-sponsored research projects. Proposals including provision for indirect cost recovery at rates or bases less than those established by the University's negotiated agreement with the Federal Government require written approval from the appropriate School Dean and, in some cases, by the Vice Provost and Dean of Research before submission to OSR. Such approval will be granted only for compelling reasons.
Some non-profit sponsors, who have established their own policies on the levels of Facilities and Administrative costs which they will fund, may be pre-approved for a waiver of Stanford's negotiated F&A cost rate. OSR and the Office of the Dean of Research maintain the list of these sponsors.
See also Indirect Cost Waivers (Research Policy Handbook 3.10).
The Office of Sponsored Research and the Office of the Vice Provost and Dean of Research are available to assist with unusual or special questions in connection with sponsored project proposals. In the School of Medicine, questions may also be referred to the School Research Management Group.
