Wine Finer
Weight: 1.00 lbs
Price: $29.95
4-in-1 wine accessory
The Nuance Wine Finer is the ultimate decanting experience. It works as a pourer and stopper, and most importantly it aerates the wine and strains out any sediment while it pours.
Excellent aeration process
The subtle taste of a fine red wine only comes out when the wine is thoroughly oxidized. This is easily and elegantly taken care of by the Nuance Wine Finer. In just 30 seconds, you can decant a whole bottle of red wine whilst pouring it into glasses. The rushing sound of bubbles gives evidence of the excellent aeration process.
Never cry over spilt wine
Unlike other wine aerators, the Wine Finer can be used with only one hand. The non-drop pour spout neatly pours glass after glass without waste or mess. The drip catcher insures that not a drop is spilled; instead the wine runs back into the bottle.
Filters out all sediments
With the Wine Finer you can easily empty the whole bottle. Just insert the Wine Finer into your bottle and pour. The wine flows through 32 aeration and filter vents while an inner stainless steel screen filters out all sediments and pieces of cork.
Close-fitting silicone lid
The Wine Finer is made of solid silicone so it fits tightly into the bottle. The close-fitting lid keeps remaining wine fresh for later use. Just top your Wine Finer with the stopper and enjoy a glass later. After use, it is recommended to rinse the Wine Finer under water and let it dry.

|Customer Review Summary for Sennheiser MOMENTUM - Brown
|January 5, 2014
|Great Sound!
Review by
OJ from Ann Arbor, MI
These are the best sounding headphones I have ever owned. They look beautiful and have enough bass for virtually any genre of music. I've listened to songs with 256 and 320 Kbps and every detail in the songs come out with the Momentums. After a few hours, my ears hurt a little after taking them off (kind of small ear cups), but still they are quite comfy. A little expensive, but well worth it.

Ask a European about e-discovery, or e-disclosure as it is called in the UK, and you will often be met with a look of distaste. Much like SUVs or obesity, electronic discovery is viewed as an unpleasant, uniquely American phenomenon. But, in reality, there are fat people in Paris, Range Rovers all over London, and a lot of electronic discovery happening all across Continental Europe - whether people like to admit it or not.
One reason for that is the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). This US law, which has inspired similar legislation in other countries, prohibits companies from engaging in corruption, such as bribing government officials to win large contracts. That sounds simple enough, but it's not always easy to do. For example, an American friend of mine runs a travel website in China. To advertise, he hired people to hand out flyers at all the major train stations. But after a few weeks, his employees began to get hassled by station officials who said they needed an official "permit". So he did what anyone would do and paid the "permit fees" even though no paperwork for this "permit" was ever produced. When his US auditors looked at that, they immediately cried foul. He was then compelled to end the practice and bring in a law firm to conduct a full FCPA investigation. The result: lots of legal bills, no more advertising in train stations, and a more powerful Chinese-run competitor who has no such qualms about paying "permit fees".
In speaking to Daniel Dorsky, Tyco's Compliance Counsel and an expert in FCPA issues, I discovered that my friend's experience is no longer the exception. From what Daniel described, enforcement of the FCPA has been stepped up dramatically in the past couple of years. Apparently, 2007 was the watershed. Prior to that, no one really worried about the FCPA too much. But two years ago, the Department of Justice (DoJ) under Mark Mendelsohn, began to take a different approach. First, the fines became much stiffer as, for example, Baker Hughes got hit with a $44 million penalty, by far the largest ever at the time. Second, the DoJ started to prosecute executives personally, bringing 15 criminal cases against individuals. Nothing focuses the mind like the threat of jail time, and FCPA compliance suddenly took on greater urgency.
The number of FCPA enforcement actions continued to increase in 2008, most notably with the infamous Siemens case. By the time the dust settled, the CEO of Siemens had been fired and the company was reeling from a $1.4 billion fine. Nor do things look like they are slowing down in 2009. In the first few months of this year, ABB took an $800 million accounting reserve for FCPA issues, Halliburton got fined $177 million, KBR $502 million, and the KBR CEO, Albert Stanley, got 7 years in jail to go along with his $11 million personal fine. These companies are also now vulnerable to civil suits. While there's no private right of action under the FCPA, that does not stop securities fraud class actions or shareholder lawsuits, which charge that defendants either understated the risks or overstated the controls in their disclosures.
There are a number of reasons why FCPA enforcement actions will likely increase further in the coming months and years. The FBI recently created an FCPA taskforce of 8-12 agents, bringing all the standard law enforcement tools to FCPA compliance (e.g., wire-taps, subpoenas, informants, warrants, etc.). Many other countries are starting to enforce similar laws, with much encouragement from the US which does not want to see American businesses disadvantaged by doing the right thing. And international law enforcement agencies are cooperating more than ever before. For example, last summer in Paris, international agencies held their first FCPA conference to share information.
All of this is driving a boom in e-discovery as General Counsels and Compliance Officers regularly conduct investigations of their overseas subsidiaries to ensure FCPA compliance. These investigations often center on "red flag" countries like China, Brazil, or Russia, where compliance is most difficult. They almost always involve outside counsel, and require the processing, analysis and review of large volumes of electronic information. This applies to European companies as much as it does to American ones. Non-US nationals can be prosecuted if either communications or money goes via the US, and many European countries are following the DoJ's lead (e.g., $600 million of Siemens' $1.4 billion fine came from German authorities).
So no matter how Europeans feel about e-discovery, or e-disclosure, they will be doing more of it in the coming years, much like their American counterparts. It's fair to say that, in this domain, as perhaps in others, Europeans and Americans have much more in common than they might think.

Local church honors 9/11, first responders
Gates, N.Y. Rochester Christian Church Ministries held a memorial service Sunday remembering the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, which happened 12 years ago Wednesday.
Local first responders and veterans were invited to the service, which remembered those lost, those who served and those still serving.
The church is working on setting up a support group for first responders and veterans.
Frank Doig, a pastor and former New York City police officer, said looking back is a good reminder for first responders and servicemen and women to be ready to spring into action at a moments notice.
We need to be prepared, he said. I think doing the service here lets first responders know, and the military, that there are people that still care about them."

FROM PULLMAN — With just one game on the schedule this week, Ken Bone pushed his weekly press conference back to Wednesday after giving the team Tuesday off. We have a summary of his comments below.
(Video via WSU Athletics)
Because Saturday is senior night, I asked Bone to speak a bit about each of the four players who will be leaving WSU after this season — Marcus Capers, Charlie Enquist, Abe Lodwick and Faisal Aden — and he had plenty of nice things to say about all of them. He praised Capers' efforts on the defensive end, as well as his devotion to rebounding, and his personality. Bone said Enquist and Lodwick are exactly the kind of players a coach loves to have — trustworthy guys who do things the right way on and off the court. And he said Aden likely would have had "even better numbers" last year had he not played behind Klay Thompson. We'll have plenty more on this senior class as the week progresses. … Bone said he thought WSU's approach on the glass was fine against Washington the first time around, but that the Huskies were simply bigger, stronger and more aggressive. He called Washington a "unique" team because offensive rebounding is such a big part of how they score their points. Obviously, keeping the Huskies off the glass will be priority No. 1 on Saturday. … Bone said UW guard Tony Wroten is one of the best he's ever seen at rebounding his own miss from close range. "A lot of times it ends up being an and-one. He's a 6-5 future NBA guy," Bone said. "It's hard to stop that." … An Arizona player even remarked after playing UW last week that it almost seems like Wroten misses those close shots on purpose so he can pad his rebounding stats. Bone cracked a smile when told of that assessment. "When it happens, it seems that way, but you know he's trying to score it because he's good at that also. But when he does miss it you almost think, wow, is he really trying to miss it? Because his instincts and his quickness are so good that he reacts quicker than most guys and makes great plays out of missed shots," Bone said. … The Cougars won't know about Mike Ladd's availability until the end of the week. He missed the Arizona State game with a concussion, and Bone said he'll be tested each day this week. Bone said Ladd would be limited in Wednesday's practice. … There are plans for at least five WSU sports teams to visit the Camp Out Beasley event on Friday night, but Bone said he isn't sure yet what the basketball team's involvement will be. "I'm sure we'll get involved in some way to show our appreciation," he said.

Social media expert visits Pinkerton Academy classes

That message was even clearer last week in Jen Scheffer's marketing and business classes when New York Time bestselling business author Chris Brogan came to talk to the students.
Brogan is a blogger and bestselling author documenting ways technology and social media can help business and improve productivity. He has appeared on the Dr. Phil television show and interviewed some of the most successful business leaders in the wold, including Richard Branson and Disney chairman and CEO Robert Iger.
However, it may be how he came to speak at Pinkerton Academy that shows the true power of social media applications.
Scheffer said one of her senior students, Rebecca Gray, was reading the Twitter feed for the American Marketing Association when she found out about an event in Boston that she wanted to attend.
At the event, Gray and fellow senior Kayla Wood saw a presentation by Brogan on social media, and after the event, they contacted him via Twitter.
"He was very approachable and helpful," said Gray.
Soon enough, Scheffer was also in touch with Brogan to see if he would want to be a guest speaker for her class through a Skype session.
"We sent a tweet to Chris asking him if he was interested in Skyping with a high school group in New Hampshire," said Scheffer.
When Brogan, who lives in Maine, found out Pinkerton Academy was only about an hour away from his home, he said he would be happy to come down and talk to the students in person.
Brogan spoke about how his interest in social media and the Internet dates back to his high school days in Maine, when he found himself interested in things that didn't interest his peers. As he grew older and the Internet grew in popularity, Brogan said he discovered he could find groups of like-minded people who didn't have to live in the same geographic region.
"Everyone wanted to talk about Red Sox and muscle cars, and I wanted to talk about super heroes and Dungeons and Dragons, so there was a good chance I was going to get punched every day," Brogan said. "I was able to use these online things to talk about what I was interested in and find people like me."
Brogan said he started a blog that began to find success after he started writing about how people could use technology to improve their businesses, customer service and productivity. Soon, Brogan was an in-demand public speaker and consultant for a number of big companies.
While Brogan has found success in the world of business, he told the students it is important to focus on the things they are passionate about.
"There are opportunities for you in so many ways to express what you want to talk about and what you want to do," he said. "You should probably have bigger dreams than that cubicle gig."

Hi, I'm a newb so forgive me for any errors,I'm just learnin'. Slowly.
I have a SIM free TyTN with WM5 & want to upgrade to WM6. It downloads ok on my Vista desktop & my phone syncs ok. its when it begins to install, everything switches off with "Error 260".
Right, now yes I've been on the xda forum where there's fabulous help but despite puttin' in a thread, no-one is replying.
I've done everything other folk have done, ie: safe mode,hard reset etc., but the answer is the same.
What is the "open port" & how can I solve it? Do I have to upgrade anything else before installing the WM6?
My phone is: HERM 200 IPL-1.00 & SPL-2.03.
If anyone can just enlighten me, I would be eternally grateful. Please.

Hi there is a web site called "click here" this site contains almost all the information that you require to update your Tytn to Rom version 6, plus loads of other information.
Go to the Forums and locate the Tytn.
Take time to digest the information which can seem overwhelming at first. But its quite straight forward.
This site also contains links to HTC Roms plus customised roms which can contain bug fixes in addition to other software that can make using the Tytn a pleasure.

Silent WTC Building 7 LoopSubmitted by go213mph on Mon, 07/22/2013 - 20:16

Hey Fireant
Where did the molten metal come from in the basement? Controlled demo can explain it but fire can not. The molten metal IS proof of artificial dismemberment. Is could be said that the leftover molten metal is from cutter charges to cut the beams. Just because there is not evidence of the kind you want, doesn't mean it didn't happen. There is other evidence of CD. If someone is shot and you can't find the gun, it doesn't mean they weren't shot. Please move on with your distractions.
Can you find one example of CD where pools of molten steel
accumulated under the pile?
And your example is ridiculous. If someone is shot, there will be a bullet hole.
Undo what Wilson did
I don't suppose all the architects and engineers have yet found
the conclusive proof of structural evidence of artificial dismemberment? That is the one thing which will prove a case for CD, but is avoided like the plague.
I have searched, specifically looking for what would be prolific and obvious evidence, after believing the buildings were detonated due to AE videos and others. I could find none, but did find overwhelming evidence of shearing, breaking, bending, and stretching of the structural connectors. With hours and hours of raw video at the site as well as the landfills, artificially cut columns and beams would be obvious if the buildings were detonated.
Undo what Wilson did
You are to stupid to sound intelligent
Wouldn't fire be artificial dismemberment? You talk like a complete tool. tell me how fire causes this? So when has a fire ever freakin done this? it has never, where is your proof fire could do this, give me one freakin case study .. You Sir Are an ignorant Asshat of unbelievable porportion
Ignorance is believing a building can be dismantled
with cutter charges or thermate and miraculously there be no cut up structural members.
And if you think all the indignant name calling helps your case, it only shows you haven't one.
Not that I think you will pay attention, but the damage from the North Tower was fatal. The building was leaning, bulging, and creaking (do you know what that does to the joinery?). Fire merely hastened the inevitable. And yes, there are many examples of structural failure due only to fire. Complete collapse is irrelevant. Fire causes steel to fail. That's why they put fire retardants on it.

9/11 Truth.
There are lots of legitmate questions but...
This video presents two things very much out of context. Can we get some members of the truth movement who care enough about the truth to display things truthfully?
First, there were not small isolated fires, show the other side of the building: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk5o-zmvMiM&feature=youtu.be
Secondly, all the clips are cropped to artificially shorten the collapse time. Look at the whole thing in context and you will see the building did not instantly blow up, but rather had a progressive internal collapse which resulted in the exterior of the building coming down. What caused this is open to debate, but dont manipulate people by presenting things out of context.
Spell it with a z...
its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...
Rockin' the FREE world in Tennessee since 1957!
9/11 Truth.
Z, are you aware of any other building (ever) that has
collapsed symetrically as a result of fire? If so, please provide me with that information. I can promise you, I only want to know the truth. It doesn't matter to me if someone proves that I've been duped or I just got the whole thing completely wrong. Digging for the truth pretty much guarantees people will make fun of you and label you...so, as most people who have "woken up" or are "Waking up" know, if you're going to be relentless about finding out the truth...you have to devolop think skin.
Correlation does not prove
Correlation does not prove causation. Lack of correlation does not eliminate possibility. This event has its own unique set of circumstances. It is not any other building. Are you aware of another high rise building which was suspended above a large electrical substation using a novel truss system which then had two 110 story buildings collapse next to it and severely damage it?
There are many unanswered questions about what happened. I will grant you that one would not expect this building to collapse. One would not expect the media blackout about any attempt to ask questions. It is definitely interesting and important to look in to.
What I will not grant is that the building collapsed symmetrically. Did you watch the complete collapse sequence I posted? it is clear that it was highly asymmetric. There is massive progressive internal damage taking place in a very complex manner throughout the extended sequence. The interior of the building is being progressively destroyed. When the interior is gone there is really nowhere to go but down. So the fact that the exterior of the building comes down into the space where the internal structure was does not mean that the entire building instantaneously collapsed.
There are a lot of complex details involved. Ironically I watched basically every piece of content AE911 produced and never learned about the con edison substation or any of the unique structural characteristics of the building. I learned the most about the building from actually reading the NIST report in full.
If the truth movement wants to be taken seriously they are going to have to really dig into the NIST report and understand their position. Simply presenting videos out of context and saying case closed may make for sensational videos but it will do little to convince an impartial independent investigation.
What is clear to me after looking into it is that the fires were much larger than presented and the collapse took much longer and was much more complex than show in the short edited clips. Those who care about the truth should consider why this is presented in this manner.
NIST report can't be trusted. Massive conflict if interest.
A logical person has every justification to consider controlled demolition after watching the video(s) and learning that:
No hydrocarbon fire outside a blast furnace can melt steel, or even weaken steel sufficiently to cause a steel structure to collapse, and even if it could, it could not account for a building falling into its own footprint.
The only way to make buildings fall on to their footprints is to carefully plant explosives within the building. Conversely, if a building falls onto its footprint, we can be certain that someone has planted explosives inside the building.
Silverstein Quote: "and I said...'maybe the smartest thing to do is, is pull it'...and they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building collapse."
The engineers who wrote the FEMA report admitted that their "best hypothesis" about why WTC 7 collapsed had "only a low probability of occurrence."
When asked whether it had carried out tests looking for explosive residue, NIST said it had not. When a reporter asked NIST spokesman Michael Newman why not, he replied: "because there was no evidence of that." When the reporter asked the obvious follow-up question, "how can you know there's no evidence if you don't look for it first?" Newman replied: "If you're looking for something that isn't there, you're wasting your time . . . and the taxpayers' money."
Dan Rather Quote: "Amazing, incredible, pick your word. For the third time today, it's reminiscent of those pictures we've all seen too much on television before, where a building was deliberately destroyed by well placed dynamite to knock it down."
I agree that you cannot
I agree that you cannot implicitly trust the NIST report or anything the government does. It clearly has a conflict of interest. That does not, however, justify the "truth movement" in portraying things in a biased manner. Since the truth movement is obviously presenting things in a biased manner you clearly cannot implicitly trust anything they say either. This is the primary point I am making and I wish you would specifically comment on this point. Wouldn't it be better in the long run to have full disclosure and present the issues in context?
"if a building falls onto its footprint, we can be certain that someone has planted explosives inside the building." You are jumping to conclusions. if a building falls into its footprint one should be suspicious of explosives and test for them. You are drawing false conclusions based on improper analogy and speculation. You should have a higher degree of skepticism, question everything.
Please dont use this silverstein quote. Its worthless as evidence. He denies it. Its meaning is ambiguous. Do you really think he would go on a show and say they ordered it down if he was really in the know about this whole plot and had it rigged ahead of time? Do you think the insurance companies would have payed him billions if they thought he staged it? If this is the best evidence people have than the CD argument is really terribly weak.
Could you provide any citation for where the engineers who wrote the FEMA report say their best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence? I know Richard Gage says that they said this but I cannot verify it anywhere else. In fact, when asked publicly the FEMA engineers vigorously defend their work and conclusions.
Explosives: I agree, why was testing not done, big red flag. These are the questions the truth movement should be asking.
Rather: looks can be deceiving, correlation does not prove causation, etc. I agree it should be looked into, but this does not prove anything.
You are helping to make Z's point.
When you say, "collapsed symetrically (sic) as a result of fire", you are not showing an objective quest for truth, but embellishing your "facts" to favor a particular outcome. Just like AE911, you ignore the damage, which was indeed, fatal for the building, and unless you consider the building falling over in two directions symmetrical, "symmetrical" is just a non-definitive word open for interpretation and manipulation. Truth seekers are more careful and exact with their facts.
Undo what Wilson did
And you just found this video???
Either bring us something new or give it a rest already!!!
This is all old news, I've seen it all before a thousand times.
Yes there are lots of questions, but this silent video certainly isn't the undeniable proof we've all been waiting for.
The reason there is no sound with this video loop
I went to ae911truth.org looking for a pre-made flyer that I could download, print out and put in strategic public locations where I live. I found a resources link at:
I found the flyer I was looking for but also noticed the video loop I posted. This loop was desgined for people or businesses that have computer monitors and or flat screen TV's that are in waiting rooms, lobbys, anywhere a screen is that lots of people end up staring at but would not be able to hear sound.
I posted it because it had a couple of angles of the demolition that I don't recall seeing before and I found it stunning (once again) how freaking obvious it is that building 7 did not "collapse" due to fire. In one way, by not having sound, it removes the distraction of noise and allows the viewer to focus more directly on the visual aspect of the destruction. In other words...no sound necessary.
I noticed those new angles of the demolition also.
Those angles alone make this video worth a watch. Without sound, people generally focus more to what senses are left, in this case visual. There is no doubt about a straight down collapse. Why hire expert demolition companies that plan for months when asymmetric damage and fires can do the same thing? Thanks for posting.
+1, bravo
I liked your idea of flyers so much that I have decided to see if I can find some local locations to do this. What are your ideas for good places to start? I'm thinking the local pub, as I know a lot of folks there and have already been conversing about these ideas with them.
Other locations? I would think, locations where people are waiting a while -- laundromats, doctor's offices, car repair?
Anyway, I haven't really done much activism but am starting to feel that itch.
I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.

Obviously pre-wired with explosives...
and if Bldg. #7 was pre-wired, then Bldg #1 and #2 were wired with explosives as well. I've read there was major elevator work done in these buildings a year prior to 9/11. You just know they trucked in nano thermite and caked the shafts with that stuff. Who's they?

In fact, an Israeli front
In fact, an Israeli front company was doing unauthorized "repairs" to the Twin Towers' elevators and sprinkler systems. One of its workers was found with a fake pass to the lowest levels of the Twin Towers. Please watch Ryan Dawson's "9/11 and War by Deception." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK6VLFdWJ4I
Bump for that which is obvious...
...except sadly to those poor, self-deluded types whose denial and enslavement to normalcy bias and whose lack of intellectual and emotional fortitude--and perhaps most of all, lack of common sense--prevent them from acknowledging what this really IS: the biggest of big daddies of false flag attack operations.
It just shows how weak we as people can be. If I were a praying sort, I'd pray every day for those among us who willfully blindfold themselves to reality.
It is also sickening and infuriating, however, as their weakness only serves in effect to condone the murders which were carried out that day, and this further extends the crimes and adds insult to the injury wrought upon the victims, their families, our very society, and upon all of the innocents bombed to smithereens in those places in the world where we have taken our total bullshit "War on Terror".
I only wish I could be assured that Hell is real, as there are so many people (many "of power") who so deserve to burn forever in its fire for their involvement in this atrocity....
What would the Founders do?
It was a controlled demolition..
The official story is the lynchpin to our present
"...but that was America before..." mentality. And the lynchpin is false.
Sometimes I'm afraid of what would happen if the country as a whole, all at the same time, realized this. Most of the time though, I hope we do.

...with the audio.

But they need to go back to the drawing board on this one and add the audio.

US Food and Drug Administration inspectors are being sent to manufacturing facilities in China that make chicken jerky dog treats to investigate a potential link between illnesses and deaths in dogs and the treats, according to MSNBC.
The exact number of inspectors involved in the chicken jerky treat investigation and the plants that will be visited are unknown, and Food and Drug Administration officials declined to comment on the inspections.
The inspections in China come after growing pressure from US pet owners, including Robin Pierre, a co-founder of "Animal Parents Against Pet Treats Made in China," who says she has collected more than 7,000 signatures on a petition urging the Food and Drug Administration to take action.
"While I am happy that the FDA is in China investigating now, it never should have taken this long. Too many of our innocent and voiceless companions suffered horrific deaths...No animal should have ever had to die because of a 'treat'," she said.
The UK petfood company's rapid growth is powered by its distinctive key ingredient, word-of-mouth marketing and geographic expansion
The company builds on its boutique business with three new lines for pet stores, including baked dog food and treats

Rasheed Wallace: Not cocky, but Celtics will be playing in June
Boy, that Rasheed Wallace sure is confident (cocky?). Just when you think he might shut his mouth and just play basketball for a little while, Wallace comes with another "Guaran-Sheed" statement.
Via the Globe:
Asked about the team's championship prospects, he [Wallace] said, "Our chances are great. We know we're a good team and we know we're one of the teams going to be playing in June, that's how confident we are. It's not being cocky. There's a difference between being confident and cocky. We're just confident, we know what we can do, we know our skills, and we know that our skills can take us to June. I'm real hungry, I'm out the door, my old [rear], and it's always good to go out on top instead of saying coulda, shoulda, woulda.''
I love Wallace's confidence, but I'd rather he wait until after (if?) the Celtics beat the Magic on Christmas day before making such a proclamation.
Maybe it's just me, but close road wins against the Grizzlies just don't make me think of June. (Yeah, yeah, okay. You got me. 11-game winning streaks and 8-game road winning streaks might make me think of June just a little.)

.- Just a day before Pope John Paul II arrived at the shrine of Lourdes, the Archbishop of Paris, Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger, said that together with the Olympic athletes competing in Athens, the Holy Father shows that "human dignity is not based on physical strength," but rather on the spiritual.
"I think it is awesome that the Pope's visit comes at the same time as the games" because the Pope "shows us that human dignity is not based on physical strength, exhaustion, money or power," the Cardinal said.
Likewise, the Cardinal added that "during this August of 2004, marred by so many tragedies, a great multitude will come together and share in a great gesture of hope" during the Pope's visit.
The trip to Lourdes this past weekend was John Paul's seventh to France during his 25 years as Pope, and his second to the Marian shrine. His first visit was in 1983, when he became the first Pope to visit Lourdes.

The walls of Park City Tattoo are covered in colorful samples of the artists—everything from elegant floral patterns to cartoon characters and otherworldly beings. It's testament to the diverse repertoire of artists Hector Daniels and Rob Green, who create both color and black-and-white compositions. They can even create lifelike portraits of a beloved family member or ink on next week's grocery list. Before, during, and after the tattoo service, the team takes extra care to make sure each client feels comfortable.
Licensed medical aesthetician Phyllis Gasparri performs each facial treatment at Skin Perfect, drawing on more than 25 years of experience as she treats acne and wrinkles during services that emphasize clinical approaches to skincare. Among her weapons of choice are lasers—which she uses to reduce scar tissue and remove hair and tattoos—and exfoliation tools such as microdermabrasion wands and chemical-peel solutions. To keep up their progress, clients can take home products from SkinCeuticals and Cell Renewal Systems or purchase one of the shop's own line of mini facial steamers, which sterilize and clean the face while discreetly opening envelopes within a 50-yard radius.

When she was studying Indian spirituality, Trudy Pellegrino came across an art form that would become her livelihood: henna. Derived from a dried, ground plant that is mixed with water to form a paste, henna is used to paint intricate designs on the body to celebrate occasions such as weddings or religious holidays. Trudy, having a bachelor's degree in fine arts, schooled herself in the art, developing henna recipes and techniques, and fine-tuning her work until she was ready to turn pro. Today, the artist mixes her certified-organic henna with water, lemon juice, and aromatic oils. Some of the ornate swooshes and squiggles she paints date back to 8,000 BC or the advent of temporary tattoos on gum wrappers. In addition to traditional bridal henna and for-fun designs, Pellegrino can also paint trial-run tattoos for customers who want to test-drive a design before they go in for a permanent one.

Dancing with the Stars' top 6 tackle two dances, including the first-ever trio challenge. Does it take three to tango or is three a crowd? Plus: Who made a comeback? So in tonight's edition of "Throwing Stuff Against the Wall and Seeing What Sticks," we have the trio challenge (not to be confused with a threesome or a threeway.) Each couple will do a dance with a third person (not three couples dancing because that would make too much sense). But you know what would make sense? Cut the show down from two hours.But first, the individual dances:Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd: tangoDonald tells Peta to push him because he doesn't want to go home. Is this the first time there's no mention of getting a perfect 30? Oh, wait, I spoke too soon. Donald gets pissed about his frame, so he studies Mark and Derek's dances, which means it's a perfect time to whip out the iPad! Yay for product placement! This is one of Peta's better choreographed routines. It's snappy, dynamic and fast, which is not usually the case with tangos on here. Donald's frame is solid and he's attacking the steps so hard that the tension between the two of them is kind of lost. Len calls it a first-round knockout and is very happy. Bruno says he was going for it like there was no tomorrow. Carrie Ann says he was in the zone, but wants more drama, so Donald plants one on her.Score: 27Maria Menounos and Derek Hough: Viennese waltzWho knew Derek cursed this much? Maria's not getting the routine, so Derek's going all drill sergeant with a good mix of sailor language tossed in on her. "Our rehearsals seem to be becoming a bit of a roller coaster," she says, crying. (Read: They hate each other.) But the end product is a beauty. The routine is gorgeous, and Maria's transitions are lovely. She's still a little stiff, and Bruno calls it heavenly. Carrie Ann heard angels singing. Len reprimands Derek for not having more holds. Derek apologizes in the skybox for "being a jerk" in rehearsals.Score: 28Melissa Gilbert and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: foxtrotMore cursing! Not surprising since it's Maks. "I'm gonna go f---ing outside because I'm about to f---in punch something," he tells Melissa. "You're making me look like a terrorist," he says. "There is no way I can make him look like a bad guy, but he can," Melissa says. Truth. Melissa flubs a couple of steps in the beginning, but recovers rather nicely for the rest of the number. She's still at this point hopelessly tensed-up and wooden, but she does have some nice lines here and there. The real problem with her is that she never looks like she's enjoying the moment. Has Maks instilled perpetual fear in her? Carrie Ann calls it her best dance ever. Len agrees, but says there were "one or two incidents" that lost it. Bruno says the presentation is her best yet. Maks also concedes to being a jerk in rehearsals and promises it will never happen again. Don't make promises you can't keep, dude!Score: 24Katherine Jenkins and Mark Ballas: Viennese waltzHey, no cursing! Check out this editing! Katherine actually encourages Mark to push her. What an upstanding pupil, unlike Maria and Melissa, right?! I kid. This is a beautiful routine. It's lyrical, and Katherine's technique continues to kill. She does flub a little at the end during a spin, but it's a typical job well done overall. Len loves it except for the spin at the end. Bruno notes the slip-up as the only thing preventing her from perfection. Carrie Ann says she lost her footing.Score: 26Roshon Fegan and Chelsie Hightower: foxtrotRoshon's feeling discouraged because there's no more Duel to save him if he's in the bottom two again. So he brings his two adorable grandmothers for encouragement (and to pick up some votes). Seriously, how cute are they? Also, how cute is this routine? It's so "first crush" that I can't handle it. It's light, breezy and so sweet I'm sure I have another cavity already. Roshon's also centered and not twitchy for once. Grandmas love it! Bruno calls him a young Mickey Rooney. Carrie Ann says Roshon made his grannies proud and the judges proud. Len gives him another, "Good job, dawg." They get two 10s from Carrie Ann and Bruno. Call it a comeback!Score: 29William Levy and Cheryl Burke: foxtrotWilliam gives Cheryl flowers for her birthday, but she says the best present is for him to nail his two dances. William is not feeling the foxtrot since he hates ballroom rules. Rebel without a cause! This is one of William's better numbers. He's not heavy-footed, his frame is sturdy, and there's a very old school and debonair air about the whole thing. Carrie Ann meows at William and calls it a "sexy Pink Panther." Len says it was a mix of care and flair. Bruno calls him a heartbreaker.Score: 30Trio ChallengeHere's how this works: Each team picks an eliminated pro or a troupe member to join their team. And then they dance. Duh.Donald Driver, Peta Murgatroyd and Karina Smirnoff: jivePeta picks Karina because she's the defending champ and rocks at choreography. So you mean you want her to choreograph the whole thing, right? Yeah, this choreography is all Karina. It's snazzy and a total energetic crowd-pleaser. Donald keeps up with the million and a half flicks and kicks and they end it with Donald leaping over both of them. Len gives them three "funs." Bruno says Donald kept up with "these two firecrackers." "I like your threeway," Carrie Ann shrieks.Score: 28Total: 55Maria Menounos, Derek Hough and Henry Byalikov: sambaDerek picked troupe-r Henry because he's buff and wants to do a Bollywood theme. An Indian samba? Yeah, no. This is a case of the idea being better in theory than in practice, or to be more specific, Derek's idea. It's a fun little number, but it's basically a Bollywood number and not a samba one. It's a good Bollywood number, though, and the sheer look of it all may be enough to fool fringe voters. Bruno loves the creativity. Carrie Ann says there were a few boo-boos and it was a feast for her Asian eyes. Len wants more samba.Score: 25Total: 53Melissa Gilbert, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Val Chmerkovskiy: sambaThey pick Val, duh. "There is nothing hotter than dancing between the two Chmerkovskiys," Melissa says. You got that right, sis. OK, maybe Val needs to pitch in every week because this is the most relaxed Melissa's ever looked. She's attacking the steps, loose and has rhythm. Plus, she gets the honor of grabbing both Chmerkovskiy asses at the end. Might this be her last stand? (It is her birthday tomorrow.) Carrie Ann loves the Maks and Val sandwich and says this is now her best dance. Len agrees. Bruno calls her Rita Hayworth. All three judges give her 9s for the first time. Hmm, are they actually on board or is this reverse psychology?Score: 27Total: 51Katherine Jenkins, Mark Ballas and Tristan MacManus: cha-chaThis trio thing is obviously a filler gimmick, but I support anything that brings Tristan back on my screen in a suit and shades. "The things he's done with Nancy Grace and Gladys Knight are amazing," Mark explains of his choice. Sly diss, Mark. Katherine's wearing a tearaway suit, but her right pant leg doesn't, um, tear away. But she doesn't miss a beat and eventually kicks it off. It's a sexy, cool routine, and while not as crowd-pleasing as the first three, Katherine's technique is, of course, on-point. It ends with Mark and Tristan handcuffed... and they lose the key. Can we switch places, Mark? Len loves it. Bruno calls Katherine Charlize Theron. Carrie Ann says she brought the fire.Score: 29Total: 55Roshon Fegan, Chelsie Hightower and Sasha Farber: paso dobleThey picked Sasha because he's masculine. Sasha assures Roshon he won't be in the bottom two anymore. This is interesting since it's the first trio where the third person is the same gender as the celebrity and not the pro. Roshon holds his own against Sasha, but falls out of sync a few times. Still, it's a powerful, strong dance that Roshon needs to keep him in the game. Bruno points out their flub, but says it was a good job. Carrie Ann loves the concept and hates that they were out of sync. "You were like two skinny fries chasing the ketchup," Len says. "Somebody just ordered a Happy Meal," Tom quips.Score: 27Total: 56William Levy, Cheryl Burke and Tony Dovolani: paso dobleCheryl chose Tony because she wants William to go toe to toe with a male pro. And William does, before going out of sync with Tony for a little bit. Overall, it's a taut, tense routine, and William's steps seem tighter, and his lines cleaner. The only weird thing about it was a flamenco segment at the end. Carrie Ann says William only went out of sync once. Len calls it fabulous. Bruno points out they lost sync too.Score: 27Total: 57William and Cheryl top the leader board solo for the first time with a 57, while Melissa and Maks are last with 51. Remember, tomorrow's a double elimination.What do you think? Did you like the trio challenge? Is William the new man to beat? Were you surprised at Roshon's comeback? Was this Melissa's last stand? Will Derek and Maks stop cursing to their partners? (Of course not!) Who do you think will get the boot in tomorrow's double elimination?

Sound Devices PIX 240 Makes Red Carpet Debut
New Audio/Video Recorder Extends Life for HDV Camera to Capture the Creative Arts Primetime Emmy Awards Pre-Show Event
HOLLYWOOD, OCTOBER 3, 2011 â Working for professional audio equipment reseller Coffey Sound, Daron James appreciates the convenience that quality products bring to his customers. However, in his role as editor for Sound & Picture magazine, itâs these very products that help streamline video productions for the publicationâs website, including his recent work on the red carpet during the Academy of Television Arts & Scienceâs 63rd Creative Arts Primetime Emmy Awards. In order to capture both audio and video during red carpet arrivals, James selected the Sound Devices PIX 240 to join him on one of Hollywoodâs biggest nights.
âThe new PIX line of recorders address the workflow changes Sound & Picture has been trying to promote,â? says James, who had the role of producer during the shoot. âItâs not just sound people doing sound anymore â itâs cinematographers working with picture and sound units, so itâs great that a manufacturer is actually developing something to bridge the gap between the two departments.â?
On location at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, James and his team were able to extend the life of their tape-based 1080i Sony HVR-V1U camera, by selecting Sound Devicesâ PIX. âThe idea was to bypass using tape and revive an older camera,â? James explains. The PIX 240 enables a faster workflow because when youâre done shooting, you simply drag and drop files from the hard drive. An hour of footage took 15 seconds to drop over, which was really nice.â?
According to James, the PIX 240 mounted easily for a problem-free production. James hooked the HDMI output of the Sony camera to the HDMI input of the PIX 240. He then used the XLR inputs on the PIX 240 for a Sennheiser MKH 8060 microphone and a Sennheiser EK 2000 wireless transmitter. Combined with the PIX-CADDY and the PIX-256SSD hard drive, recording the red carpet footage was a cinch.
Using the PIX 240 enabled James to shoot a more film-like 24p instead of the cameraâs 60i frame rate. He then matched the Sonyâs 8-bit output to an 8-bit Pro Res 422LT codec on the PIX 240. âWith the PIX 240 configured the way we had it, we were able to record up to eight and a half hours of footage,â? continues James. In addition, recording to the hard drive allowed him to use the HVR-V1U tape system as a backup to the recorded footage on the PIX 240.
âLogging the recorded footage from the PIX 240 for editing couldnât have been easier,â? James adds. âWe plugged a USB cord directly into the PIX Caddy and were able to copy the footage over in seconds, saving us a lot of time logging from a tape in real time.â?According to James, the PIX 240 was the perfect addition to his on-location team. The five-inch, 800 x 480 pixel LCD display monitor worked well in sunlight and the hood accessory assured there were no reflections. âThe viewing monitor allowed us to see the record time, frame rate and more importantly, the audio levels, which made audio adjustments quick and seamless,â? says James. âThe levels in the PIX 240 menu are very easy to get to and adjust. You have this huge knob on the PIX 240 so you can click, move and adjust it on the fly.â?
âI couldnât have been happier with the workflow of the PIX 240,â? says James. âFrom its versatile production options to the fast setup for post, the PIX 240 made our shoot easier and much more reliable. Iâll never complain when it comes to having Sound Devices audio pre-amps on my side, theyâre amazing!â?

Salaries of Members of the United Kingdom Parliament
The basic annual salary for an MP from 1 April 2013 is £67,060.[1] In addition, MPs are able claim allowances to cover the costs of running an office and employing staff, and maintaining a constituency residence and a residence in London.[2] Additional salary is paid for appointments or additional duties - such as the chairing of select committees.
Due to additional allowances it is difficult to calculate the annual basic salary of an MP, but for an MP with no additional responsibilities, who stays for a single term of 5 years, the MP's severance package will raise the taxable salary by over £12,000 per annum (see Allowances below) - giving an effective annual salary of £77,738.

Current permitted salary and benefits: Commons[edit]
Basic salary[edit]
The basic salary of an MP in the House of Commons was increased to £65,738 as of 1 April 2010.[3][4] Many MPs (ministers, the Speaker, senior opposition leaders, opposition chief whip, etc.) receive a supplementary salary for their specific responsibilities. As of the 1 April 2008 these increments range from £14,039 for Select Committee Chairs to £130,959 for the Prime Minister.
MPs also receive extensive allowances and expenses. Strictly speaking, MPs don't receive these allowances - it is the MPs' staff, landlords, electricity suppliers, insurance companies etc. which receive them. These expenses and allowances are listed below, and have included the paying for, buying and furnishing of second homes[5]
Office expenses[edit]
- Office running costs
- Staffing costs
- Travel: staff
- Centrally purchased stationery
- Postage costs
- Central IT costs
- Communications Allowance
Housing, second home, and travel[edit]
MPs receive allowances towards having somewhere to live in London and in their constituency, and travelling between Parliament and their constituency.
- Cost of staying away from main home
- Travel: car
- Travel: rail
- Travel: bike
- Travel: European
Pension arrangements[edit]
MPs will normally receive a pension of either 1/40th or 1/50th of their final pensionable salary for each year of pensionable service depending on the contribution rate they will have chosen. Members who made contributions of 10% of their salary gain an accrual rate of 1/40th.[6] According to a 2009 report in the Daily Mail, state contributions for MPs are more than four times higher than the average paid out by companies for final-salary schemes, however they are not significantly more generous than most public sector pensions.[7]
If an MP stands down during the course of a Parliament for ill health reasons, an ill health retirement grant is payable, calculated in the same way as the Resettlement Grant (as well as an immediate pension based on the service the MP would have accrued if he or she had continued to serve until age 65).[8]
Resettlement Grant and Winding-up Allowance[edit]
On leaving the House of Commons, an MP will be entitled to what is essentially severance pay.
Resettlement Grant
The Resettlement Grant is the name given to the MPs severance pay package. It may be claimed to help former MPs with the costs of adjusting to nonparliamentary life. It is payable to any Member who ceases to be an MP at a General Election. The amount is based on age and length of service, and varies between 50% and 100% of the annual salary payable to a Member of Parliament at the time of the Dissolution.[9]
In the UK the first £30,000 of severance pay is tax free. The amount retiring MPs, or those who lose their seats receive depends on how old they are and how long they have served in the House. Example. An MP who stays in office for one term (say 5 years) and then leaves office will currently receive tax-free severance pay of 50% of his current salary, or £32,383 at current rates - equivalent to an annual salary increment of over £12,000 at current tax rates and pay scales.[10]
For the 2010-2015 Parliament, only MPs defeated in their attempt to be re-elected will get one month's salary for each year served, up to a maximum of six months or over £33,000. From the start of the 2015 Parliament, it will be replaced by a "Loss of Office Payment", at double the statutory redundancy payment. "For the 'average' MP, who leaves office with 11 years' service, this may lead to a payment of around £14,850."[11]
Winding-up Allowance
There is also up to £42,000 on offer to pay for winding up staff contracts and office rent.[12] An allowance of up to one third of the annual Office Costs Allowance was paid for the reimbursement of the cost of any work on Parliamentary business undertaken on behalf of a deceased, defeated or retiring Member after the date of cessation of Membership. On 5 July 2001 the House agreed to change the allowance to one third of the sum of the staffing provision and Incidental Expenses Allowance in force at the time of cessation of Membership.[13]
Summer Recess[edit]
- Parliament takes a break of around 45 days for the summer. This is not only for holiday, but so that MPs can spend more time away from parliament in their constituencies to do work there.

History of changes to salary and expenses rules[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (December 2009)
Prior to the twentieth century, members of parliament were unpaid as it was assumed they would have another income.[9] The first regular salary was £400 per year, introduced by the Parliament Act of 1911. Some subsequent salary levels were £1000 in 1946, £3250 in 1964, £11,750 in 1980, £26,701 in 1990.[9] The increase in MPs basic salary since 1996, have been:[14]
|Increase date
|Basic salary
|Jan 1996
|Jul 1996
|Apr 1997
|Apr 1998

|Apr 2010
|Apr 2013

From April 2015, the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority recommends that pay be increased to £74,000 per annum, "indexed to changes in average earnings in the whole economy thereafter".[15]

What is a SMART Franking Machine?
As you might imagine, SMART means clever, clever means efficient and efficient means money in your pocket.
Changes in EU rules meant that from January 2011 some mail is subject to VAT and some not. Things like Business Mail, Special Delivery 9am, Special Delivery Next Day (PPI) and Airsure attract VAT. Standard mail, parcels, airmail and Special Delivery Next Day (stamps and franking)don't.
Only SMART franking machines give you access to postal discounts such as Business Mail Advanced – send as few as 500 items in a single batch and get savings of up to 16.7%.
Our franking machines even allow you to log onto a website and monitor the profile of your postage spend for one or multiple machines.
This allows you to spot where you are wasting money and stamp it out.
Keeping VAT simple
Our SMART machines automatically inform you of the breakdown. So you and the Royal Mail get a correct VAT figure. They invoice correctly, you pay the right amount and reclaim the correct amount from HMRC. It also gives you a far more detailed way of monitoring your spend by class and format.
You can get all the information you need with our detailed online reporting. Knowledge gives you control over your mail and your costs.
Impact of SMART technology to the metered mail market All franking machine suppliers now need to ensure that the products they sell are SMART if their customers want to:
- Take advantage of savings from services such as Business Mail Advanced and associated volume-related discounts
- Pay the right amount of VAT on postal services they use
- Reclaim the right amount of VAT from HMRC
- Monitor their postage spend by class and format via Pitney Bowes INVIEW reporting
Do you currently use Business Mail Advanced?
Business Mail Advanced is a 'Bulk Mail' product offered by Royal Mail. This service WILL be subject to the VAT change as of 2nd April 2012. Pitney Bowes customers will be experiencing no disruption to their Business Mail Advanced service. Can your current supplier be so confident?
Once again, Pitney Bowes are leading the market with embracing the postal and HMRC requirements. Within the UK Franking Machine Market we account for around 75% of all SMART Franking Machines. All new and refurbished meters issued are SMART.
