This pattern was pretty self explanatory really there isn't many pattern pieces in this one. I think cutting it out and figuring out which style you wanted was the hardest part because the pattern comes with the option to do a dress (or a really long top) with long sleeves. I followed the shirt style but then went with the longer style sleeves.
I think everyone on BurdaStyle is aware of this one and its a must do so cute and stylish. These tops are really in at shops at the moment as well so even better than we can make them ourselves for a fraction of the price. Although making this top I realised I am in much need of a plain black skirt because its so cute and stylish it needs to be the main attraction!

Spritz Reading App: 9 Classic Novels You Can Read in Under 4 Hours
This week, in a media blitz that took the Internet by storm, a startup called Spritz stepped out of its quiet three-year development phase and announced its ambition to the world. This small Boston-based startup aims to radically change the way we read text and, as a result, to help users digest more books more quickly than ever. Spritz "has developed a speed-reading text box that shows no more than 13 characters at a time… [flashing] words at you in quick succession so you don't have to move your eyes around a page."
To prove the necessity of their tool, Spritz cites some compelling data about reading behavior: You, the average reader, "20 percent of your reading time actually taking in the words you're looking at, and as much as 80 percent physically moving your eyes" along the page to find those words. By eliminating that wasteful eye movement, Spritz hopes to help its users reach a reading speed of 1,000 words per minute, a significant leap from the average adult's speed of 300 words per minute. (The company admits that most users won't be able to hit the 1,000 wpm mark right away, but says that by using the app they can improve their speed over time.)

Setting aside the issues with the app that any discerning reader will perk up at—what about poetry? what about wanting to linger over a particularly awesome passage? what if one just likes to read slowly?—we're interested to know, hypothetically, how much reading one can get done using Spritz. Check out the GIFs below to see how the app works, and then look to our list of classic novels that, at Spritz's promised speed of 1,000 words per minute, you can digest in under four hours.

You just wouldn't know it by my Tumblr. ;)
For some reason I always see Colin Farrell as a Black Irish Brad Pitt. I don't see that as a bad thing, I just can't not think it.
To any of my followers (or anyone else for that matter): if you're writing something and would like someone to look over it for spelling, grammar, and sentence structure, I would be more than happy to do so for you. Free. Books, fanfics, papers, I don't care what it is! I'll read it!
I've been reading some e-books and they're making me crazy.
I'm not vain enough to promise perfection, but I can promise an improvement.
I get bored when I'm depressed and I get depressed when I'm bored. It's like a chicken and egg thing; I can't always tell where the feeling originates.

Tony, you are really making it hard to defend you, but here goes...The last time FW/d saw a gag of such painful, and historic, proportions was April 23: Game 4 of the NBA's Western Conference quarterfinals, Blazers 84, Mavs 82. The Mavs led by 23 before pulling what was then known as a "Dirk".Then came Oct. 2, and the Great Crash at Cowboys Stadium when the home team pulled what is now called a "Romo."To make some sense of this I called the one man in town who could relate, or come close: Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle."To put this in perspective, the Cowboys' loss Sunday was like our playoff loss in Game 4 at Portland where we blew a 23-point lead. It's painful, and there's really no other way to put it," Carlisle said. "Their challenge is that they have to wait two weeks for their next game, whereas we only had to wait two days. As we found out, the way you respond to those catastrophic moments defines your character and collective resolve as a group. Personally, I like their team and see this as an opportunity for growth."By the NFL calendar, Romo has 28 games left to prove he can grow out of this and pull a Dirk.If Romo continues on this path, by late December 2012 we will have enough evidence to decide this is it. He will be 32, with one year remaining on his contract.Until then, we wait.We wait because what happened April through June 2011 taught us that to make a decision of such gravity would be premature.Today, Dirk Nowitzki may be the greatest hope to all despondent, irate and sick Cowboys fans. Dirk is the FW/d poster boy for patience. And Dirk may be Tony's best friend.On Monday, Dirk sent out this tweet via his @Swish41 account: Dear tony romo. Don't worry abt all the critics. I heard that same garbage for a long time. Keep working hard and keep improving.From the time Dirk missed that crucial free throw against Miami in 2006, vanished in the first round against Golden State in '07 to the end of the 2010-11 regular season, he was always going to be just good enough to lose. A fantastic talent, but in the end not good enough.Then came the Portland series. And the Lakers. Then the Thunder. Then the Heat, and we all looked dumb because so often we are.It took Dirk 13 NBA seasons before he became good enough. He was 32 when he led his team to an NBA title. It took him that long to "get it".Because the NBA is stuck in a lockout and coaches can't talk specifically about players, Carlisle did his best to help me out with this sports analogy."I've seen tremendous growth in Romo over the last three years. I've been to two of their practices and several of their position meetings, and have been very impressed with his knowledge of their system. I love his skill and courage," Carlisle said. "He has an unusual resourcefulness at his position, and has earned a leadership role. He understands the responsibility and accountability that come with the position of quarterback, and is willing to take the heat when things go south."If you look closely at the four games, he's had some miscues, but has been very consistent in his approach. They're only four games into a 16-game regular season, so I expect Tony and their entire team to stay the course -- there's an awful long way to go."We must wait just a bit longer to see how this plays out. We have to. We wait because imagine what would have happened had the little basketball team dealt Dirk to Minny for a couple of lottery picks.Imagine what would have happened had we not waited. So many fun moments never occur. No NBA title. No parade. No humiliation of Bron Bron, D-Wade and The Other Guy.Admittedly, Romo is making this wait increasingly hard, and very difficult to defend. While I do not put all of the blame on him for the collapse against the Jets, there is almost no one else to put in the Cowboys Dunk Tank after the mess against the Lions. Unless you want to throw in Jerry, just because it's fun.Unlike the Week 1 loss in New Jersey where you could blame a blocked punt, some secondary breakdowns or poor offensive line play, Blame Island today features Romo as its most prominent resident.The statistics from Sunday's game are so one-sided in favor of the Cowboys that it took Romo's three picks to make them all irrelevant. Time of possession, rushing yards, penalties, total yards -- all favored the Cowboys.Give Romo this -- when he flops, he flops with flair. The guy always delivers compelling copy.After four weeks the Cowboys are where they deserve to be: 2-2. They are 1-0 in the NFC East, and actually ahead of the "Super Bowl champion" Eagles.The first month of the NFL regular season acts as a de facto preseason, so the fact the Cowboys are through this at .500 is OK. The cry has been this team should be 4-0, but it could just as easily be 0-4.There are 12 games remaining this season, and another 16 next year; plenty of time for Romo to do what so many of us are sure is impossible.Only it is possible because Dirk taught us that it is.So we wait for Romo to quit pulling a Romo -- and pull a Dirk.Follow Mac Engel on Twitter @MacEngelProf and The Big Mac Blog.Mac Engel, 817-390-7697

Rated 3.2 out of 5 by 505 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TessaRossa20 Great feature, great service. The room was very nice, with partial ocean view and specutacular view of diamond head. The foom was located in the higher floor, which made my entire stay very quiet and comfortable. The resort fee is something extra, but I could make some long distance calls, used wi-fi everyday etc. so am very satisfied. On the day of my departure, my pick up was delayed that made me worried if I miss the flight. The gentleman at the bell desk was very helpful and he called the pick up company to make sure they come. I was very impressed with his extraordinary service. When I visit Ohafu next time, I would definitely choose this hotel! September 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Elena The Best Service ever We stayed at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani this past weekend. We recommend this hotel to the entire world!! We have no words to express the beauty of our stay. June, at check was superb. Angie, our waitress is forever the best there is. Every time we stay at the hotel, she provides A 111 service Eric, our bartender makes the best drinks on the island, Lee, at the pool provides us with all we need. The nightly entertainment poolside is spectacular. Kaimana (unsure of the spelling) is spectacular. They provide a variety of music to keep all the guest entertained and singing. We have the highest compliment for the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani. May 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kolika Paradise Found The Princess Kaiulani met my expectations and provided me with my requested ocean view and bed choice. The interior of the hotel is being upgraded with superior taste in furniture, carpeting and pictures. The staff in the bar and restaurants was superb and the Concierge was most helpful in arranging our sightseeing trips. June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by WellSatisfied A Great Place to Stay My wife and I stayed for six nights, and we were very pleased with the facilities. The staff is very friendly, and extremely helpful in every way. The location is second to none; one is right in the middle of the action, with many good eating places only a short walk away. The hotel is undergoing some renovations, but it did not bother us in the least; it is very well organized, with the clients in mind. May 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Joaquin88 Greatest Everything about this hotel is the best. Have stayed here for any years and will definately continue to stay here. September 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave Excellent experience Our stay at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani was excellent overall. The staff was very friendly, courteous, and helpful. We ate at the breakfast buffet on most mornings of our stay and the food was very good. The hotel location is very convenient to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. We were informed at check-in that the king bed we reserved was not available - a bit disappointing but that did not spoil the overall experience. The furniture in the room was a bit outdated and had numerous nicks and scratches, but again, the positives of this hotel outweighed these minor issues. We would definitely stay here again. March 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JoshnJoe Excellent!!!! This hotel was great! had everything that was needed and the staff were more than willing to help in any way needed 24/7. Parking was great and check in/out super fast and friendly. I will be returning!!! December 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by kmlworld Staff was excellent and location is the BEST! We have been staying hotel guest since the late 1990s. This is our favorite hotel since the date we discovered it. Thank you to Shari (Service Guest Manager), we can stay in our favorite room again this year - we loved it. Your housekeeping staffs also did an excellent job during our stay. We loved everything about this hotel - location, staffs, food, pool, etc. - We always recommend this hotel to all our friends, family, and even strangers... September 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JR11 This hotel has a great atmosphere The whole experience of atmosphere and friendliness made our anniversary holiday a great success and something to remember May 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by chiavatore Great Location, Very Nice Stay... The best part of the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani is the location! Although not directly on the beach, it is only minutes from all that Waikiki has to offer, including shopping and great restaurants. The hotel room, hospitality, facilities and staff were all very good. The restaurant and bar were also very nice. Close to nearly all bus lines, taxi, shuttle service, and parking is also available. December 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Norcon Not Happy When I checked in I ask for a high floor and was told that this room was quiet. But it wasnt we heard all the street traffic and the band that was playing at the pool was loud even though I had my Sliding door closed. Ester the cleaning lady was the best person there she made up the room with a smile. The front desk people were rude and I was not treated very well. September 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 Wonderful Holiday Experience This hotel has such a special feel. Sitting on the balcony overlooking Waikiki or listening to music beside the pool - you can feel yourself relax from the time you enter the lobby! Fantastic value for money. My family always stay here but this was my first stay, and the hotel lived up to the recommendation. Loved it!! January 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Taylors5 Wonderful Holiday!!! We stayed at SPK for the last 2 weeks and had a fantastic time. I had read reviews prior to arriving and wasn't sure what to expect but on arrival all my concerns went out the window. The hotel is an older hotel but with all the conveniences that you could want. the staff were wonderful, the hotel was clean and tidy and our view from our balcony was exceptional. The hotel is in a perfect location as it is within walking distance to everything. The staff assisted at any time they could and were only to glad to help. we organized tours from the hotel and weren't disappointed, Marsha the tour desk operator was very helpful in assisting us with our choices and also offering suggestions. Would highly recommend staying here and we would definitely return. May 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by TeamBrown2014 A great home away from home! My family and I enjoyed our stay. We stay here very time we get a chance. Highly recommend. July 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Brian36 Surprising view Despite the inland location, I was pleasantly surprised by the sweeping ocean view. It's apparent this hotel has a history of use, but you can't beat the value. January 24, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by TommyT Avoid this hotel This property was a huge disappointment. I am used to excellent service by all staff at the SPG hotels and as a Platinum member have rarely been disappointed. I truly felt that the staff could care less about me. They really do not care if I ever come back. As a result I will never return to this hotel and will ensure that none of my friends, family and colleagues ever book this hotel. . December 29, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by ladyteach21 bugs We had bugs, I believe termites in our room, crawling all over us on the next to last day. I called and they did accomadate us and move us to another room, but i'm not sure it was thoroughly cleaned before we got there, open soaps, wet towels. however the manager did take care of us at the end of our stay. Also i complained about the AC on the 4th day and they didn't come to fix it until after they moved us out. Overall I had a good time, but the bugs, which i hope didn't come with us sort of ruined everything good August 23, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Rivera09 Mis-led I have been to Sherations before and always felt they offered nothing but the best. However, this time it was horrid: rooms were out dated, and mildew stains in bathroom, curtians with holes in them, and no complimentary morning breakfast buffet, wich the other Sherations had. It was like something from a 1970s Motel 6. We won't be back! We were on our honeymoon which made it all the more unacceptable. Our first room granted was a standard but in our opinion sub standard. they gave us two beds for a honeymoon? How horrid ! We won't use Pleasant Holidays ever again as well!! Sorry to be the one to have to share this with you!! Mr. and Mrs. Rivera March 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnandEllen This is an older property but fabulous location and staff While this is an older property, I think clients will like staying there. First a great location, right at Waikiki beach and walking distance to everything. Staff was great. We did not eat there but food service seemed fine. We had an amazing view of Waikiki Beach. john June 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by livesinhotels Amazing staff It's the staff who make my stay here every time so incredible. They do everything each time to ensure my stay is wonderful. Special kudos to Front Desk Manager, Jihwa. She always goes the extra mile. You cannot go wrong choosing the Princess Kaiulani on your next visit to Waikiki. May 26, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by buzydi Disappointment We did not get the room we booked and confirmed via the internet in February 2013. As we were travelling with our 15 yr old son, we asked for 2 double beds. When we entered the room we found it only had 1 king bed. We were told that the hotel was full and that nothing could be done. The manager Gregg was apologetic but after informing him that I was an SPG member he made no attempt to try and make other suitable arrangements. He said it was up to us if we wanted to take this room or not. He said if we still wanted a different room he could review it the next morning. He never came near us for the whole stay. I was extremely disappointed as this holiday was for a special occasion and left us feeling like we didn't matter. I have stayed in many SPG hotels over the world but now have a different outlook on whether the SPG group of hotels now meets my expectations. October 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JasonLyndal Highly recommended, repeat customer! This hotel is situated in the heart of town, amongst all the dining & shopping venues & across from the main beach, The rooms are clean & the beds are very comfortable. The staff are great & we stay here every year. Highly recommend this hotel. September 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dcrc88 This hotel exceeded my expectations! This was our first trip to Hawaii and we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, Naomi at the concierge desk had chocolates sent to our room and Mark at the front desk sent Champagne. Tommy at the tours/activities desk was also a big help. These three folks went way above what was expected and were so very nice to us. The entire hospitality of the hotel was great. The close proximity to the beach (right across the street) and to shopping was so convenient. The nightly entertainment was also a plus! We enjoyed the breakfast buffet on The Pikake Terrace daily which was so tasty :) Whenever we make it back we will most definitely stay at the PK again! Mahalo!! August 11, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by MarcD Dissapointing at best... I have been a frequent traveler to Starwood properties across the mainland and Hawai'i over the last twenty years. This is the first time I've stayed at the Princess Kaiulani. The room I was given in the "tower" was by far the most outdated, decrepit, poorly maintained room I've ever stayed in. When I asked at the front desk for a better room, I was told that was the best they had to offer. THe paint was peeling on the door jams. Hardware was rusted. The sliding door barely able to open and rattled at the slightest wind. Carpet was dirty. Chrome was worn off bathroom fixtures. The list is endless... As a gold member, not to mention the fact that I converted American Express points to Starpoints to facilitate my stay (at 3 Amex points to 1 Starpoint!) I feel I was completely ripped off and if I could get my points back I would. I had no other option but to endure my 9 days or misery. I would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone. May 30, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by MrClean Simply unacceptable!!! SPG should immediately downgrade this facility to a Category II and list on the website that it is scheduled to close for renovations beginning the fall of 2014 if they want to keep their well earned reputation in tack. The property has issues at every turn from the cheap plastic chairs poolside, the stained carpets and chipped paint throughout, too the ridiculously poor conditions of the premier room that I was upgraded to. To wit my one-year old never left the bed as her touching that floor was not an option. Fortunately, we were only there for a single night and the company was paying. Had this been a week-long stay or a reservation that I had paid for with my funds/points I would have been simply livid. With that being said, the location is second only to SPG's other three beach front properties and if the renovations result in a facility on par with those three properties then a Category V rating will be well deserved again in 2015 upon their completion. February 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anniversary34 Amenities Everything you would want and need for an overnight stay. May 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Andy50Sue50 Andy We went there for our vacation. The staff was very friendly and engaging to make sure all of our needs where met. The room was very comfortable and always clean. The food was great and loved eating at the pool side. Thanks again had a great time. March 31, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by Waikiki3 This hotel has great comfort, location and friendly staff I love this hotel. The beds are incredibly clean and comfortable and the staff is extremely helpful and it is conveniently located near Waikiki beach. April 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by BRIBOYNYC Worn around the edges I've stayed at this hotel 3 times and when I was there in Jan 2014 I saw they were closing the hotel shortly for a well needed renovation. Then when I was looking for hotels in Waikiki this hotel still showed as available and I found out the closing and renovations were cancelled. I must say this hotel does need to be closed and renovated. They did some basic renovations and touches in the lobby area so it was a slight improvement, but you can tell not much money was put into it. For the guest check-in a laminate was placed over the granite counter and the laminate is already ripping. The rooms need renovations. The sinks, faucets and tubs all need to be replaced. The carpeting is worn and you see where there have been water leaks. Parking is also horrendous. You can drive up and down a 5 level parking garage and never find a parking spot. If it wasn't for the location I would say stay away from this hotel. The staff is friendly, hotel is clean, but it REALLY needs a makeover September 3, 2014

30 5 / 2013
Update: I'm still a cripple, and Canadian healthcare isn't perfect.
Some of my followers have been with me a very long time, a few from the very beginning, and have seen me through some of the most difficult challenges I've ever had to face. I'm talking mostly about my hip surgery, and I've talked about it a lot throughout my years on tumblr, but not at all recently. For my newer followers, I'm not going to go into detail, except to say that I had hip surgery almost 3 and a half years ago, and especially right now, I need another one.
I saw my GP on Monday; a woman who, if not a good doctor, has known me my whole life and is very interested in orthopedics. I told her about the severe discomfort I've been feeling in my hip recently. Unfortunately, she is no specialist. I kid you not, she spent a solid 10 minutes feeling my ribs. Her recommendation was that I look into getting a shoe lift to correct the leg length discrepancy the IM rod caused (just about 1" longer than my left leg).
She didn't even feel my hip - A hip that makes a wet pop like a champagne bottle when I move it. Am I crazy to think a doctor should address the area that hurts? To look at it for a few seconds if only to make me feel better? She referred me to see a specialist and told me to do yoga.
I've never had a pinched nerve in my back or slipped a disk or anything, but the pain I have been experiencing is what I imagine that feels like. An 8.5 on the pain scale. I sit down, my hip relaxes. I stand up about 75%, and it feels like a knife is going to explode out of the side of my leg. It's the most intense pinch I've ever felt deep deep down in the back of my hip joint and into my lumbar. I'm frozen. I move my leg in any direction and the pain makes me nauseous. The least painful thing I can do is sit back down. I've spent a week crying like a baby. Yesterday was the worst, my bosses thought I was coping with a death in the family.
And here is my dilemma: I could go see my surgeon and schedule the procedure to take one or both rods out and spend 6 more months in a wheelchair waiting for my bone to fill in, and 6 months after that in physiotherapy regaining my leg strength from scratch with a chance that it will fuck up my leg even worse, OR I could try to live like this, lose my ability to exercise altogether and probably develop severe arthritis by the time I'm 35.
I don't have health insurance at my day job. The surgery would be covered by the government, but none of the medication would be. What happens to my rent? My phone bill? My student loan?I can't work for a while after. And if I pursue treatment now, Physiotherapy is anywhere between $100-$200 an hour and OHIP approved clinics offer a $12 rebate to those with a referral. $12? Awesome, I can pay $88 and save the rest for the horribly painful bus ride there and back. What the fuck is the point?!
I know there are some people going through hell a thousand times every day to get what they need to survive and help loved ones and recover from things much worse than I could ever imagine (much love to @succitaM and his beautiful wife) but this is my hell right now and I've got to do something about it. I just don't know what.
P.s. I look like a clown today.

Kenbrell Thompkins and Aaron Dobson are both listed as questionable, which is good news for them, after sitting out the last couple of games. Producing in the red zone will be a top priority for the Patriots as they move forward, and as they are now without tight end Rob Gronkowski, having the taller Dobson and Thompkins on the field will really help that cause, especially against a defense as stout as the Ravens' unit is. Nate Solder has also been deemed questionable, after suffering his second concussion in as many weeks.
Overall it seems like the Patriots are as health as they can be at this point in the season, and they will need all of those healthy bodies for this upcoming contest, as they prepare to take on the Baltimore Ravens.

In reply refer to Warning Letter SEA 03-38
Frank D. Dulcich, President
Pacific Seafood Group
3220 SW First Avenue
Portland, Oregon 97201
Dear Mr. Dulcich:
On June 2-4,2003, we inspected your firm, Washington Crab Producers Inc., 1980 North Nyhus, Westport, Washington. We found that you have serious deviations from the seafood Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (KACCP) Regulation, Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 123 (21 CFR 123). In accordance with 21 CFR 123.6(g), failure of a processor to have and implement a HACCP plan that complies with this section or otherwise operate in accordance with the requirements of this part, renders the fishery products adulterated within the meaning of Section 402(a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. 342 (a)(4). Accordingly your cooked dnngeness crabmeat and whole crab distributed in vacuum-pulled metal cans, and in reduced oxygen plastic tubs, are adulterated in that they have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have become contaminated with filth, or whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health, You can find this Act, the Seafood HACCP regulation, and the FDA Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards and Controls Guidance through links in FDAs homepage at www.fda.gov.
The deviations were as follows:
1. You must conduct a hazard analysis to determine whether there are food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur and have a HACCP plan that, at a minimum, lists the food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(a) and (c)(1). A food safety hazard is defined in 21 CFR 123.3(f) as any biological, chemical, or physical property that may cause a food to be unsafe for human consumption. Your firms HACCP plan for dungeness crabmeat in cans, and in reduced
oxygen plastic tubs does not list the food safety hazard of CIostridium botulinum, during finished product storage and distribution, which FDA considers to be a food safety hazard that is reasonably likely to occur.
Please note that information regarding the control of Clostridium botulinurn in vacuum-packaged, and reduced oxygen packaged seafood products can be found in the Fish and Fisheries Products and Hazards Guidance: Third Edition, Chapter 13.
2. You must have a HACCP plan that, at a minimum, fists the critical limits that must be met, to comply with 21 CFR 123.6(c)(3). A critical limit is defined in 21 CFR Part 123.3(c) as the maximum or minimum value to which a physical, biological, or chemical
parameter must be controlled at a critical control point to prevent, eliminate, or reduce to an acceptable level the occurrence of the identified food safety hazard. However, your firms HACCP plan for cooked dungeness crab lists a critical limit, minimum
temperature internal [redacted] degrees F, that is inadequate to control pathogen survival.
FDA does not consider measuring internal temperatures an appropriate method to assure that all of the crabs in each batch have been adequately cooked to destroy pathogens. Variations in temperatures can occur from crab to crab based on crab size and its location in the cooker. Your critical limit(s) at this critical control point should list the minimum cook temperature and time necessary to achieve a safe cook of all the crabs in the basket. These critical limits should be based on how full the cooker is and the size of the crabs. Internal temperatures may be used as a verification tool to assure that safe internal temperatures have been achieved, but not as a primary assurance of pathogen destruction.
3. You must have a HACCP plan that lists monitoring procedures for each critical control point, to comply with 21 CFR 123.69(c)(4). H owever, your firms HACCP plan for cooked dungeness crab lists a monitoring frequency o f-at the cooking critical control point that is not adequate to control the hazard of pathogen survival.
4. You must adequately monitor sanitation conditions and practices during processing, to comply with 21 CFR 123.1 l(b). However, your tirm did not monitor the prevention of cross-contamination from insanitary objects to food, food packaging materials, and other
food contact surfaces including utensils, gloves, and outer garments, and from raw product to cooked product in that the following observations were noted
a). Employees were observed to handle various un-sanitized objects such as a pallet jack handle, plastic bags of crab sections, a hose stored on the floor, and an ice shovel handle, and then have direct hand contact with the cooked crab without washing or sanitizing gloved hands.
b). Employees were observed handling or touching various un-sanitized objects with gloved hands i.e. laminated employee number tags, computer keyboards, buttons on a scale read-out, and then directly handling product without washing hands prior to rinsing them in Sanitize.
Your response of July 18, 2003 does not adequately address the issues in FDA-483 items number 1 and 2 in that the data you submitted was for a one can study which is not representative of all shipments, and as stated above FDA does not consider measuring internal temperatures as appropriate. Your response to FDA-483 item # 3,4, 5 and 6 appear adequate.
We may take further action if you do not promptly correct these violations. For instance, we may take further action to seize your product(s) and/or enjoin your km from operating. Please respond in writing within 15 working days fiorn your receipt of this letter. You may wish to include in your response documentation such as your revised HACCP plan, and copies of your monitoring records, or other useful information that would assist us in evaluating your corrections. If you cannot complete all corrections before you respond, we expect you will explain the reason for your delay and state when you will correct any remaining deviations.
This letter may not list all the deviations at your facility. You are responsible for ensuring that your processing plant operates in compliance with the Act, the seafood HACCP regulation and the Good Manufacturing Practice regulations (21 CFR Part 110). You also have a responsibility to use procedures to prevent further violations of the Federal, Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and all applicahie regulations.
Please send your reply to the Food and Drug Administration, Attention: Bruce Williamson, Compliance Officer, 22201 23rd Drive SE, Bothell, Washington 98021-4421. If you have questions regarding any issue in this letter, please contact Mr. Williamson at (425) 483-4976.

Wow, it must be super high quality, so much so that it is not perceivable to the human eye. You know like a dog whistle to the human ear. --Stop The Mindless Killings Stop Over Fishing
Nah, but since I am far (very far) from a graphics guru, and not having played one on TV, figure I would ask assistance form the group.Logo is large and is to replace the main picture at this FB page:»www.facebook.com/K9FirstRespondersThanks,Brad
Thanks for the link...in order to be specific however, I would explain exactly what text you want whited out and what you want written instead. Also it would help to post exactly what "banner size" you want since banner sizes can be fairly different.PS, if you have a copy of the original logo, please post that also.....though I got the impression you just wanted your original adjusted and not a new one?--Spare computer cycles can help find answersFind A Cure!
Thanks for the offer. "fourboxers" came thru for me. Thanks again fourboxers!

She is so sweet!

I am just feeling so blessed with my precious little Sarah! She is SUCH a mellow and happy little girl! She sleeps 6-7 hours in a row at night and goes back to sleep for another 3 or so. She hardly ever cries and always stops immediately when picked up. She is starting to smile more and it just melts my heart. I think I'm in love. :) It has been so amazing especially with all the extra stuff we have going on with waiting for a new heart for my older dd. After conquering my bad insomnia with meds (I slept fine without any last night!) I feel like we can do anything. :)

The Borgias Review: The French Destructionby Dan Forcella at . Comments
"Death, On A Pale Horse" was definitely the best episode since the two-part series premiere of The Borgias. Bringing the war aspects to the forefront was an intelligent move in keeping things interesting at this point in the season.
As each episode went along, the workings of Della Rovere were moving slowly and were quite boring at times, but they certainly had a purpose. It took the traitorous Cardinal a while to figure out the best strategy for taking down Pope Alexander, but now that he has, everything seems to be coming into place for him.
The fact that Della Rovere has put so much work into making this happen, made his realization so much more powerful. When he watched King Charles and the rest of the unstoppable French Army destroy the first town they conquered, Della Rovere looked absolutely disgusted.
The man had no idea what he was getting himself into when he enlisted the French King to do his dirty work for him. The killing of innocent women and children was not what he signed up for, which led to him pleading for the right to help Florence negotiate with the French.
And when the French made their way to Florence, the King did just pass on through, succumbing to the words of Machiavelli. Watching the brutal monarch place his weapon in a backward position was both funny and foreshadowing of the types of leaders that might be able to take King Charles down.
Is Rodrigo Borgia that type of leader? It doesn't seem so at this point. He seems to just be getting over anxious about the whole thing. Of course he wasn't prepared for all of this, but even so, the way he was freaking out to Cesare was not promising for the future of Rome.
Sending Giulia over to see Lucrezia, however, was a good move. Upon finding out the obvious fact that Sforza is going to side with the French when push comes to shove, Giulia begins to help Lucrezia escape from the grounds. And of course Lucrezia is pregnant with what we have to assume is Paolo's child. The twists and turns never stop on The Borgias.
It's great that Giulia has helped and all, but if her story remains dormant, it will be a shame for the series. It would have been a dumb move to make such a fuss about it early on and then forget about it forever. On the other hand, if the plot dealing with the fact that the Pope just brought on a mistress comes up near the end of the season, it may have an even greater effect. It continues to be a wait-and-see situation.
So The Borgias took a step in the right direction with "Death On A Pale Horse." What did you all think of the episode? And are you excited for remainder of this first season?

A better episode.
This was an excellent episode. The characters differ from their namesakes a bit, but the point is well made. Charles is actually much younger, but is known for developing artillery, which comes across wonderfully in the 3 minute siege of Lucca. Its pillage accurately reflected war at the time and the explanation given by actor Charles was priceless and rarely expressed. The lesson to Machiavelli, wherein he reflected it was genius, was subtle and very well done. Della Rovere eventually becomes Pope Julius, oft known as the terrible or warrior, and this shows that background. It did omit he had been papal legate to France for 4 years, which is why they knew and trusted him at all. He was not a whole lot better than Rodrigo, since he was elevated by his Uncle, also a Pope, and held 8 bishoprics. The show does a nice job of intertwining religion, family, politics, history and sex. In Italy, it is impossible to understand one without the others. After all, the very same things put Mussolini into power in 1922 and eliminated him in 1943. SPOILER Warning: BTW, the sex between Juan and Sancia is necessary depending upon which of the two 'camps' the writers subscribed to in eventually resolving Juan's character. Again, I feel they have done a very good job of trying to condense 9 years of history into 1 miniseries without being too pedantic. And, the sex is great! :-) I wonder if all the women and men were so beautiful, lithe, clean...
This was a really good episode, and I agree with most of the review. For once I actually felt invested in the story, and Della Rovere's plans going awry, Lucrezia's problems with her husband and Giulia's intentions to help her all fit into place in this episode. If only we hadn't needed to suffer through the first six episodes to get here. I had just started to wonder if Della Rovere was such a good person after all, considering he'd just got nations to declare war on each other just to get rid of one evil family, and this episode highlighted that marvelously. He could see how his actions came into effect and the regret he felt because it was his doing. I liked the war scene and while I generally don't enjoy fight scenes where you carnage everyone for no reason, in this episode there was a very pressing political reason to destroy the village and its inhabitants. I thought the nunnery-scene with Cesare and his ex-lover-turned-nun was a fun call-back to the first episode of the Tudors, where Henry VIII was discussing with Bessie Blount (played by the same actress) that her husband wants to send her to a nunnery for her infidelity. The only thing that felt kind of detached from the story was Juan's continued tryst with his kid brother's wife. The sex was good, but the marriage to a 12-year-old is still creepy, and it had nothing to do with the rest of the story, unlike Lucrezia's marriage to Sforza. This episode also helped me understand Lucrezia's reasons for staying with her husband. Before, I didn't understand why she hadn't just sent word to Cesare and have mr. Sforza killed. This episode gave that explanation: she's staying with him because her father needs him. Luckily for Lucrezia, now that it's been established that her husband has no intention of helping the Borgias, he can finally be offed and Lucrezia can spend quality time with her baby once it arrives (I have to check wikipedia, I'm not sure if she keeps the baby). Overall, I really enjoyed this episode and recommend it to everyone.

In The Beginning
Performance fuel injection owes its success and popularity to a gent by the name of Stuart Hilborn. Stuart was first exposed to racing in the late 1930s when a friend took him to Muroc Dry Lake to take in some racing action. Needless to say, he was hooked right off the bat. Not long after, he built and raced an AV-8 Ford and also began constructing a streamliner that was unfortunately sidelined by the onset of World War II. Stuart took a break from racing and joined the Air Force. It was during that stint in the service that he began to draw up plans for his first mechanical fuel injector-starting construction on it in earnest after the war ended, developing a completely new and unknown principle now known as "constant flow" fuel injection. Despite skepticism from many so-called "experts" regarding its success, Stuart began racing with his fuel injector in 1947 and the success of his technological breakthrough earned Stuart the reputation as the "Father of Fuel Injection."
A lot of rodders were skeptical, yet the next year Howie Wilson piloted the then completed Hilborn streamliner beyond the 150-mph barrier thus effectively silencing his critics. While the car broke all records the streamliner's design was appreciated as a piece of art, as well. In April of that year it appeared on the cover of Hot Rod magazine and continued to campaign at the lake. Unfortunately though not long after, while on another speed run, the car flipped several times, putting both him in the hospital and the streamliner out of action. A while later Stuart took his injectors to Indy where they became an instant success. Bill Vokovich drove the "Fuel Injection Special" and though he crashed while leading after the 190th lap, Hilborn injection still got a First Place with a Troy Ruttman win. During the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s there were over 34 wins at the Indy 500 using Stuart's fuel injector. Today, it is used on many types of engines and all types of racing, including Sprint Cars, drag racing, super modified, off-road, tractor pulling, and motorcycles.
Over the years Hilborn mechanical fuel injection has been a boon to racing. Unfortunately not so for street-driven vehicles that must operate throughout the rpm range for extended periods rather than full-throttle blasts. That is until recently with the advent of modern computer controls and EFI. The basics behind EFI goes kind of like this: when you step on the gas pedal, the throttle valve opens up more, letting in more air. The electronic control unit (ECU) senses that the throttle valve has opened and increases the fuel rate in anticipation of more air entering the engine. Sensors monitor the mass of air entering the engine, as well as the amount of oxygen in the exhaust. The ECU uses this information to fine-tune the fuel delivery so that the air/fuel ratio is just right.
A fuel injector itself is really nothing but an electronically controlled valve. It is supplied with pressurized fuel by the fuel pump in your car, and it is capable of opening and closing many times per second. When the injector is energized, an electromagnet moves a plunger that opens the valve, allowing the pressurized fuel to squirt out through a tiny nozzle. The nozzle is designed to atomize the fuel, to make as fine a mist as possible so that it can burn easily and completely.
The amount of fuel supplied to the engine is determined by the amount of time the fuel injector stays open (Stuart's is called the pulse width, and it is also controlled by the ECU). Electronic injectors are mounted in the intake manifold so that they spray fuel directly at the intake valves. A pipe called a fuel rail supplies pressurized fuel to all of the injectors.
Operational benefits of a street-driven fuel-injected engine include smoother and more dependable engine response, easier and more dependable engine starting, better operation at extremely high or low ambient temperatures, reduced maintenance, and increased fuel efficiency.

Home > Events > Swimming > Cold Half
Overview | Course | Registration | Video & Photos | Results
Waiting for a good winter swim, or, training for the English Channel, or other cold water challenges, then the new "Cold Half" race is for you! The expected water temperature is 20-21ºC (68-69.8ºF) with an expected air temperature that can range from 12.7-22ºC (55-72ºF). This is not cold in the ice sense, for some this is NOT cold! But for "us" in Hong Kong, it is.
To offer a challenge to swimmers with different body types and motivations, there will be 2 categories:
1) "Naturally Ocean"
2) "Wetsuited and Buoyant"
- Date: 15th Feb 2014 (Saturday)
- Start: 11am
- Location
Start at Stanley Main Beach and finish at Middle Island Beach
- Format
Either a solo race or a 2-person relay. If performed as a solo swimmer, a support paddler is required. If performed as a relay, the swimmers rotate every 30 minutes with motorized escort required.
- Category
Naturally Ocean & Wetsuited and Buoyant
- After party
A barbeque and warm-up dinner held at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club in front of Hong Kong's only fireplace.
- Cost
$2,000 with a support paddler
$4,500 with a support motor boat (mandatory for relays, no extra cost for partner swimmer)
The 2014 race will be held on the same weekend as the Standard Chartered Marathon. So, we have a new amazing "Double" for you who are keen – the "Cold Standard". This is where you swim the Cold Half race solo (15km) on a Saturday, and the next day, run the Standard Chartered Marathon. This is certainly NOT for everyone, but for those few who feel they need some extra adrenaline, and maybe a bit of pain, in their lives, then make sure you sign up for the Standard Chartered Marathon in time, and then get out and get training.
Registration for The Cold Half is on a first come basis. Deadline is 7th Feb 2014 (Closed). There will be NO sigh-up on the day.
For The Cold Standard, if you are interested, please let us know by 15th Sep 2013.
For information and registration requests, contact Shu Pu at email@example.com, and then send us your payment as per instructions.
*This event is only for swimmers with confidence and dare. Advanced swimmers only please.
