I am so curious about that candy cane fluff soap… it just sounds like it'd smell so amazing!
Fortune Cookie Soap: 2012 Winter Line
Last week I received some samples of Fortune Cookie Soap's Winter line for this year, and I was super excited! I love holiday soaps and scents and skincare and the like, so this was juuust what I needed :)
First up, the new Fortune Cookie Soaps, where their company gets the name! I've got four of the new ones- (there are nine new ones total) Stuff My Stocking, Snow Day, Tangle in the Tinsel, Snow Bunny, and Candy Cane Fluff.
Stuff My Stocking is described as a blend of tangerine and snow dusted pine. This one is the most Christmas-y scent to me, you get that beautiful pine scent that I love about christmas (and miss from my fake tree- by the way, does anyone know what the PERFECT pine scented candle is?? I feel like I've tried millions and they always leave me feeling meh. need something!!) This isn't overbearing and smells like christmastime. Mine has a candy cane accent on it, but on the site I see a christmas tree, so I'm wondering if there are different ones?
Snow Day is described as a blend of berries, cinnamon bark, and pear. I definitely get the berry scent, that classic winter berry. This one is a very light fragrance, but it works and is really soft and refreshing. It also has half of it covered in white glitter, which gives this really beautiful shimmer that is perfect for the name :)
Snow Bunny is a blend of peppermint leaf, sandalwood, and hints of berries and vanilla. This one is a bit of a glitter bomb! The peppermint leaf is really the key note here, its quite strong and when I smell this one it seems to clear my sinuses :) The sandalwood and vanilla work to mellow it out a bit, so it isn't quite like a peppermint smack in the face!
Tangle in the Tinsel is a blend of pink sugar and cola. I definitely get the pink sugar, it smells a LOT like the perfume. I love the neon color here and the silver 3D glitter, it really lives up to the name of the soap!
Candy Cane Fluff is, by far, my favorite scent. It's a blend of peppermint and marshmallows, and it's sweet and minty and perfect. The marshmallow/vanilla scent works amazingly to counterbalance the peppermint so you're left with this perfect sweet candy cane scent.
All of these scents come in a variety of products, and (luckily!) I was scent a variety of products in my favorite scent! Here are some other things you can get, and this is only a few of many products (All these are Candy Cane Fluff):
- Bubbling Bath Crystals: Bath Salts help to replenish moisture and soften skin
- Body Butter & Sugar Scrub Set: Bundled set comes cheaper than buying separate and comes gift wrapped, and you get to choose what scents you want :)
- Bar Soap: I love the swirly lollipop shape :) More practical if you plan on actually using the soap and not just as an accent like you may with the fortune cookies!
- Solid Bubble Bath: Break off a piece and crumble under running bath water for a fun bubble bath :)
Also in the Winter Line are two new Bath Bombs- Tangle in the Tinsel and White Elephant. Tangle in the Tinsel is the cutest freaking ornament bath bomb ever- like most of FCS bath bombs, how on earth do you expect me to want to use this?!?!
White Elephant is also super cute, just look at him! This one is a tricky one- it's a mystery, unconventional holiday scent. FCS is doing a contest with this little guy- if you think you know what the fragrance blend is, you send your guess to their email and every correct guess gets entered to win a $100 gift card.
Personally, I suck at guessing scents. To me, this smells like minty laundry detergent, hahaha. I don't mean that negatively!!! It just smells fresh and minty. There's another scent that it has that I can't place that is really bugging me. Seriously, if you guys pick this one up, tell me what you think it smells like, okay?!
Everything is available from Fortune Cookie Soap.

I see what you did there with the word scent. Nice word play. XD
OH MY GOD! I NEED THOSE! So cute!! <3
Thanks for this post, Leesha. I've missed the FCS posts :)
If your looking for good holiday candles try Bean Pod Candles. They have one called Minty Spruce and it is straight up Christmas. Also try Gold Canyon, I had one a while ago and I can't remember what it was called but I have one called Sleigh Ride and its like almost cold when you smell it. It's as if a mint snow storm happened. Really refreshing and wonderful.
Hey, I work at Gold Canyon!
I found a really great pine candle at Target… it's called Nordic Pine and it comes in a glass jar.It doesn't appear to have a brand, but the scent is perfectly pine.
Regarding this: "by the way, does anyone know what the PERFECT pine scented candle is??" I do work at Gold Canyon Candles out in Chandler. We have some good pine-y candles like Vetiver Woods and Fresh Pine. If you're interested let me know if you want samples!
There's a candle at Bath & Body Works called Spruce, or spruce something, and it smells just like christmas trees :)
i love the concept behind fortune cookie soaps, theyre adorable!
Try caterpillars candles.. soy based and amazing scents!
I have found a candle called Fresh Balsam at Bath and Body works that is fantastic when it comes to pine candles. There is another one called Evergreen that is not as good but still that traditional sort of pine. If you're in there, make sure to check it out.

Respect the Vegan!Posted by C.L. R. The post below mine made me think of this - my vegan friend won't eat some of the veggie patties (like veggie sausage) that are out on the market because they still contain some form of animal protein. I thought that was interesting for the veggies out there to know. This is terrible information, though, because I'm blanking on what the specific ingredient/issue was when I tried to serve her Morningstar. Does anyone know? |

In Latin America, opposition to military intervention in Syria reflects the wariness of a region long beset with U.S. interventions of its own.
Issues / War & Peace
It's time to relegate the bankrupt counterinsurgency doctrine into the "dustbin of history."
After all the weeping and gnashing of teeth over Snowden, another leak causes U.S. intelligence greater grief.
Barack Obama--the man who was about to wage war in Syria, however reluctantly--must now fall from his high horse and become a man of peace.
The emerging U.S.-Iran modus vivendi over Syria could be the beginning of the end for three decades of mutual hostility and estrangement.
Presidents tend to ignore the constitutional requirement for Congress to formally declare war in advance of deploying American military forces.
When Kenya invaded Somalia in 2011, it overturned a 48-year-old policy of not involving itself in the armed conflicts of its neighbors—and now innocent Kenyans are paying the price.
Potential diplomatic breakthroughs in Syria and Iran are apparently unnerving Israel's right-wing leadership.
Rouhani has set the stage for a negotiated resolution over Iran's nuclear program, which is becoming more viable than ever before.
The ease with which al Shabaab and other extremist groups handle social media is disconcerting.

Sanipack Macerator Pump For in Wall Frame System
011Item Description
Overview | |
Brand | SanifloShop All Saniflo |
Model Number | 011 |
Details | Install a Toilet Anywhere You Want. High Level Of Styling. Installing a bathroom where you want is often difficult and sometimes even impossible. The main drainpipe is either too far away, or the new bathroom or sink will be lower than the drainpipe, making conventional installation unworkable. The Sanipack is built into a wall cavity provided by a concealed frame system. The reservoir is also built into the wall and all the user sees is a large push button that activates the flush. The Sanipack is a system that is used to install a complete bathroom up to 9 feet below the sewer line, or even up to 100 feet away from a soil stack. Since the reservoir, the macerating pump and the pipes are hidden from view, this type of installation gives you the lean and clean look of a European bathroom. The Sanipack is simplicity itself to install; there are just four connections:
Note: the toilet bowl and wall carrier are supplied by other manufacturers. Sanipack can be used with any North American wall-hung toilet system

Fact Sheets: Genetically Engineered Food
Fact Sheets Count: 15April 9, 2015
Protect Your Right to Know: Stop the DARK Act
The Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act — sponsored by Mike Pompeo (R-KS) and a brainchild of the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) — would make the already inadequate approval process for genetically engineered (GMO) foods even worse.
January 9, 2015
The Case for GMO Labeling
Unlike traditional plant and animal breeding, which tries to develop better varieties by selecting traits from the same species, genetic engineering techniques can insert specific genes from any plan, animal or microorganism into the DNA of a different species.
How GMO Crops Hurt Farmers
With the rise of GMO crops, coexistence between organic, non-GMO and GMO production has become more difficult due to the potential for gene flow and commingling of crops at both the planting and harvesting levels.
Genetically Engineered Food: Human Health Risks
At the very least, consumers should have the right to know if the foods they are buying and eating have been genetically engineered.
January 8, 2015
How Much Will Labeling Genetically Engineered Foods Really Cost?
Whenever the subject of mandatory labeling of GMO foods comes up, the food industry claims that labeling will be prohibitively expensive.
June 12, 2014
Monsanto's Seed Company Subsidiaries
The rise of genetic engineering has not only diminished the ability for farmers to practice their own methods of seed selection, but also turned another sector of agriculture into a business monopolized by a few corporations.
September 23, 2013
The World Food Prize: Recognizing Heroes or Promoting Agribusiness Interests?
Behind the World Food Prize are millions of dollars from agribusiness and prize recipients whose contributions have done little to reduce hunger.
April 8, 2013
Monsanto: A Corporate Profile
Roundup herbicide. Agent Orange. PCBs. Genetically engineered seeds. These may not seem related, but they all have something in common: Monsanto.
August 31, 2012
Most Americans Want Labeling of Genetically Engineered Foods
When it comes to labeling genetically engineered (GE) foods, the United States lags behind nearly 50 developed nations, including all European Union member states, Australia, Brazil, China, Japan, New Zealand, Russia, Saudi Arabia and South Korea. The European Union requires all food, animal feeds and processed products with biotech content to bear GE labels.
July 23, 2012
GE Crops, Chemicals and the Environment
Roundup, an herbicide produced by Monsanto that contains the active ingredient glyphosate, has been vigorously applied to crops for years. Most genetically engineered (GE) crops are designed to be tolerant of specially tailored herbicides. Farmers can spray the herbicide on their fi elds, killing the weeds without harming the GE crops. With the development of Roundup Ready crops, the application intensity of Roundup has only increased.

Batman: Arkham Knight E3 2014 Developer Interview with Dax Ginn
Post by Dan @ 02:59pm 26/06/14 |
At the 2014 E3 Expo in Los Angeles, AusGamers catches up with fellow Aussie and Rockysteady Studios Producer Dax Ginn, for a chat about the upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight.
AusGamers E3 2014 Batman: Arkham Knight Developer Interview Video with Dax Ginn
: Ladies and gents, welcome to AusGamers, coming to you from the E3 showroom floor -- not specifically live, but live enough. We've got a very, very special friend of the site, a good friend of mine, Dax Ginn -- an Aussie that made it out.
Let's talk about Batman, at the moment, it's my game of the show, and I've only seen the demo -- I haven't actually played it yet. But I want to talk about, I think the thing that you guys have nailed this time around is its just the ultimate Batman experience. They've always been about that, but this one is just like… he's basically ninjaing everything.
: [laughs] Well after the events of Arkham City, we wanted to setup a game that was the ultimate fantasy of being the Batman in its entirety. So the addition of the Batmobile really was the piece that we always felt was missing. You think Batman: you think Batmobile. So harnessing next gen, committing to it exclusively; unleashing the Batmobile, building out the entirety to Gotham City. For us, it really was the completion of the journey that we started in Arkham Asylum, all the way through to where we are right now.
: Let's talk about that: building out Gotham City in its entirety. That's no mean feat for anyone, and it was only properly mapped about 15 years ago or something, I read the other day. So it's kind of just lived in this lofty idealism for a long time. How did you guys go about it? What was the back and forth with DC on that?
: There's a lot of back and forth with DC, because those guys just have the final say and the first point of creative inspiration for so much of the stuff that we do. Whether it's the layout of Gotham City itself, the location of key locations, designing the Arkham Knight, we're in daily contact talking about the creative directions and the creative license that we can take with things, so that we can design a game that we know delivers that ultimate, awesome gameplay experience -- which is kind of our specialty, but is also very true and authentic to Batman lore, and to the core pillars that make Batman such an awesome character.
: How many new locations have you guys added to Gotham for the sake of the game?
: Areas like the penthouse at the top of Wayne Tower -- which is Bruce Wayne's private office -- that was something that we feel is a space that hasn't been deeply explored, so that we could design the location of where the Bat Pod goes, for his change of clothes -- from his suit into the Bat Suit.
We put a massive bar in there, because he's always entertaining. So little things like that, that fit the way that we've interpreted Bruce Wayne. It's awesome for us to just let loose and really come up with a creative space that we feel is true to the Arkham experience, but also true to Batman.
: So how much Bruce Wayne will we be playing?
: No idea what you're talking about. [grins]
: [laughs] In terms of other characters, the last game had so much… the last Rocksteady game had so many Batman nods to the 75 year history. How far have you guys gone this time around?
: With creating new characters? We delve deep in terms of characters and characterisation, because a Batman game isn't complete with that sense of real depth in terms of the villains that you come up against, but also the allies and the support that Batman has. So delving deeply into the relationship between Commissioner Gordon, his daughter Barbara -- thinking about the connection that Batman has with these people that he loves was a really big part of it.
Those characters have been part of the Batman Universe for so long, but we, in the telling of this part of the story, wanted to ask ourselves: what happens when Batman goes to war? What happens when the people that he loves start to pay the price for the decisions that he makes about his war on crime?
Because that's what it is, it's war in Gotham. The Arkham Knight, his forces have brought war to Gotham, Batman unleashes the Batmobile; unleashes the battle mode of the Batmobile, but there's vulnerabilities around him that he can't control. So that's really where the emotion of the gameplay comes in.
: Is there any particular reason that Commissioner Gordon doesn't have a moustache?
: [laughs] Well I didn't have this beard two weeks ago. Us men, we're dynamic animals! [laughs]
: So how did you guys contextually tackle the challenge of building an open Gotham, a great Gotham that wasn't walled off [like Arkham Asylum], without citizens? Or are there going to be citizens?
: Well there's always vulnerabilities that Batman has to address. So the innocent civilians who have fled Gotham as a result of Scarecrow's threat, is the bulk of the population. But there's always support services who will stay behind -- there's the GCPD, who are there fighting for Gotham's life.
That's always been a critical part of the gameplay that we design: ensuring that Batman has that moral responsibility to defend the people that he can. But designing out the entirety of Gotham, from a technical and and aesthetic perspective, has been a massive challenge. And again, that's part of the commitment that we've made to next gen, to make sure that we are doing that on the scale that everybody understands Gotham to be, but also with that hand-crafted detail that we've always prouded ourselves… prouded ourselves?... prided ourselves at Rocksteady, to make sure that: you're driving the Batmobile 100 miles an hour, the city looks great, no worries, but if you get out, and you pay attention to the cracks in the pavement, and the water running down the brickwork on the side of the building, that that stuff looks immensely detailed and awesome. So balancing that is a huge technical challenge, but I think we're on it.
: It's really telling how much you guys know about being Batman, that the Batmobile isn't just a means to get from A to B, or to be cool, you can use it to help in takedowns in hand-to-hand combat. What the fuck dude? That is so cool!
: That Batmobile-assisted takedown: when that first went in the game, I hadn't been part of the design meetings where that came up, so it was just one of those things that just appeared in the game, and I was like 'Woah! Woah what is this? Does anyone else know about this?'. Batman uppercuts a dude, and then the riot suppressor just locks on and 'boom', it takes him down when he's airborne, it's just that fusion of man and machine that makes perfect sense.
The Batmobile isn't just this kind of gadget for Batman, it's this ally; it's this teammate; it's this machine that he relies upon and teams up with. Whether it's getting across the city, or engaging in offense and defence, the integration of the two of them has just been at the heart of our design considerations, right from even before we finished Arkham City. So there's been like four years of kind of immense thought that's gone into it, and it's just coming together so beautifully.
: This is a no-brainer, but you guys probably aren't going to mention anything about it today: but obviously the Batmobile opens up a lot of opportunities for the non-campaign side of the Batman retail package, in the way of challenge maps and things like that. Can you at least mention anything along those lines?
: Well, let me say that the way the Batmobile exists in Batman's world, and the importance of the Batmobile for Batman, everybody can see -- all of the villains can see -- that the Batmobile is the key to Batman's survival, and villains like The Riddler, have got it in their head that 'well, let's stop trying to take down the man; if we can take down the machine, then he's vulnerable'.
So all of the challenges that The Riddler is setting up for Batman, are not about breaking the man, they're about breaking down the machine, and that idea kind of flows in other parts of the game. There's a sense of the Batmobile being the only thing that can protect Batman in his kind of hour of need, as war has come to Gotham, and Batman is really there with his back against the wall, with the people that he loves in the line of fire. So yeah, I love that about it. There's this kind of emotional way that you feel about the Batmobile, because it's not just a car, it's got all of these other emotional connotations that flow off of that.
: Finally, it's not a dig at the last guys, or the last person that did this, but it must be awesome to have Kevin Conroy back.
: He's awesome, right? I was actually just talking about this before: the way that I think Kevin understands the story that we have wanted to tell for Arkham Asylum, and the way that Batman's situation and predicament has become more and more desperate throughout, his voice is really matching that.
You go back and play Arkham Asylum, and he's just kind of bold and brash, and everything you'd expect from Batman. Then by the end of Arkham City, you get that sense in his voice, that things aren't going the way that he planned. And now in Arkham Knight, he knows that he needs to bring his A-game, he needs to step it up; he needs to be The Batman more than he's ever been before, because it's all on the line.
I think Kevin's performance really has a lot of subtleties that tweak, and give you that sense of Batman being a powerful character, but also a character with some concerns and reservations about the state of play. He understood right from the beginning that that was the story arc that we were going for. I think he's been preparing for this since Arkham Asylum.
: And that brings it full circle, because it comes right back to that question about this being the most Batman that you can be, as Batman, and you've just said that Kevin brought that with him. So that's actually a manifestation of the entire trilogy that you guys have set out to create.
: Yeah. I mean, being Batman isn't just about beating the crap out of people. Every superhero can do that, but the beauty of Batman is the humanity and the subtleties in his personality, and the vulnerabilities that surround him, the responsibilities that he places on himself, the childhood experience that he's had -- no one can do it quite like Kevin Conroy.
So having that performance from him in this kind of epic conclusion to the trilogy, for us it's one of the most significant things that we build the game around. We track his performance, and we design a game that supports that, as far as we possibly can -- it's a real pleasure.
: Alright everybody, you heard it here first with Dax, and Stephen Farrelly from AusGamers, at E3, wait until you play this game in 2015, it looks amazing. Thanks mate.
: Cheers dude.

I have a HTC Desire that has been frustrating me with pictures on the internet. No matter which browser I use, HTC Original, Dolphin, Maxthon or Opera Mini on a forum that I run SOA4x4 I can not see the images that members upload in my mobile. Yes, I have seen them at one time but for some reason beyond me I can no longer see them. I can and do click where I know where the images is, the "loading" symbol shows and does nothing from that point. What is adding to the frustration is that if I go else wheres on the internet I can see images at other forums. I've searched and found that it's been recommended to reboot in theses rare cases of not seeing images but this has not produced any result for me. I've updated to the latest Flash 10.3 and still nothing......Did I check or uncheck something that I shouldn't have or is this a known fault with a solution? Thanks in advance.
I tried it out using Opera Mobile and stock GB browser, and the forum/image gallery works perfectly (although the large image js popup appears at the very top). Have you tried out Opera Mobile, or just Mini? With Mobile you can remote debug any page using Dragonfly in the desktop Opera browser. I debugged your forum using Dragonfly and found no errors what so ever(!) If you coded it yourself - great work The issue seems to be related to your android version rather then the browser as no browser works as it should.
The issue seems to be related to your android version rather then the browser as no browser works as it should.
Try to use Opera Mini, or puffin. They are using servers to shrink the images, if that doesnt work try a custom rom
Idk, since images work elsewhere... could it be such as simple thing as having ticked a "do not show images" setting in your profile on that forum?

We are doing mass spring problems that stem from second order ODE's. I think my lack of linear algebra is hurting me once again in this section so any help would be greatly appreciated. We are using a stiffness matrix of K = [ -(k1+k2), k2 (row 2) k2, -(k2+k3)] Our first problem has the following values: m1=m2=1; k1=0, k2=2, k3=0 Setting up the stiffness matrix I got the following: -2 2 2 -2 So this is my first stopping point: I thought you were supposed to then take the inverse of that but can you do that with a matrix that has a determinant of zero?
hi cue928! not really my subject, so i'm going to risk asking what could be a really dumb question … if there's only two degrees of freedom, how come there's three parameters? (and your general formula doesn't have rows summing to 0 … maybe these are just the top triangle of a 3x3 matrix?)
I don't know how to answer that. Since there is a zero value for two of them, maybe that has something to do with it? I honestly don't know.

Title: | Design of a multiple component geometric breast phantom |
Author: | Baum, Karl; McNamara, Kevin; Helguera, María |
Abstract: | The quality and realism of simulated images is currently limited by the quality of the digital phantoms used for the simulations. The transition from simple raster based phantoms to more detailed geometric (mesh) based phantoms has the potential to increase the usefulness of the simulated data. A preliminary breast phantom which contains 12 distinct tissue classes along with the tissue properties necessary for the simulation of dynamic positron emission tomography scans was created (activity and attenuation). The phantom contains multiple components which can be separately manipulated, utilizing geometric transformations, to represent populations or a single individual being imaged in multiple positions. A new relational descriptive language is presented which conveys the relationships between individual mesh components. This language, which defines how the individual mesh components are composed into the phantom, aids in phantom development by enabling the addition and removal of components without modification of the other components, and simplifying the definition of complex interfaces. Results obtained when testing the phantom using the SimSET PET/SPECT simulator are very encouraging. |

Acute Urinary Retention In Women
Acute urinary retention (AUR) is when your bladder is full, but you cannot urinate. This condition happens suddenly, gets worse quickly, and lasts a short time.
- Antibiotics help treat or prevent a bacterial infection.
- Take your medicine as directed. Contact your healthcare provider if you think your medicine is not helping or if you have side effects. Tell him if you are allergic to any medicine. Keep a list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs you take. Include the amounts, and when and why you take them. Bring the list or the pill bottles to follow-up visits. Carry your medicine list with you in case of an emergency.
Foley catheter care:
You may need a Foley catheter while you are at home. Healthcare providers will give you a smaller leg bag to collect urine. Keep the bag below your waist. This will prevent urine from flowing back into your bladder and causing an infection or other problems. Also, keep the tube free of kinks so the urine will drain properly. Do not pull on the catheter. This can cause pain and bleeding, and may cause the catheter to come out. Ask your healthcare provider for more information on Foley catheter care.
Follow up with your healthcare provider as directed:
Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.
Contact your healthcare provider if:
- You have a fever.
- You have pain when you urinate.
- You see blood in your urine.
- You have problems with your catheter.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
Return to the emergency department if:
- You have severe abdominal pain.
- You are breathing faster than usual.
- Your heartbeat is faster than usual.
- Your face, hands, feet, or ankles are swollen.

Actor Wants His Wife Back
'Cashmere Mafia' Is Getting Really Old, Really Fast
February 7th, 2008 11:13am EST
Pin it
Ok, let's decide which was worse on the last episode of "
Cashmere Mafia
": the fact that Mia (
Lucy Liu
) made out with a "manny" who looks like a high school student, or the weirdness of Caitlin's (
Bonnie Somerville
) girlfriend telling her that she's pregnant? Or maybe it's the simple boringness of the entire episode. I just can't pick; they all make me either want to yawn or make my "ew, gross" face.
Zoe (
Frances O'Connor
) and Eric's (
Julian Ovenden
) whole part of this show is SO boring, it's ridiculous. The only thing they seem to be able to come up with for these two is a tug-of-war between who will have the temptation of a marital affair. First it was their next-door neighbor who seduced Eric over dinner and hired him to design her new kitchen. Now it's Zoe's co-worker, who she refers to as her "work husband," flying into New York and complimenting her on the shape of her legs. Instead of celebrating a 10-year anniversary with her husband, Zoe decides to go with her "work husband" to the Hamptons and stay over night in a hotel in order to close a deal. She is confident that she was asked to come on this trip in order to be seduced, and she agrees to go to dinner with the guy. Then, at the last minute, she changes her mind and drives back to New York to see Eric for their anniversary. I'm yawning just having to type out this boring mess. Long story short: she and Eric meet in the Hamptons and spend an anniversary night in a hotel. Aren't you just quivering with excitement to see where this will lead?? Good grief.
Juliet (
Miranda Otto
) and Davis aren't much better than the above-mentioned cliché couple. Last week she kicked him out of the house so he's staying in a hotel. This week she calls him to her office to discuss an inappropriate picture of their daughter, Emily, that was discovered on the internet. The daughter hates the school she's attending so this was a cry for help. Davis wants her to stay at the school, and Juliet believes that she should be able to go to boarding school if that's what she wants. Juliet asks Emily to live with her, and Emily says she'll think about it. Meanwhile, Juliet decides that she needs to hire a divorce lawyer so that Davis cannot run off with all of their joint money, and Zoe refers her to a lawyer friend of the family. Ready for the big TV twist of the year? All four members of the "Cashmere Mafia" show up at the lawyer's office ready to witness her divorce and...Davis has already retained the same lawyer! There is no way anyone saw that coming, seriously!
Mia is still dating the handsome neurosurgeon, so he's the silver lining for me during the show each week. However, Zoe and Eric have hired a new "manny" (male nanny in case you didn't catch that), and he's a photographer. Mia agrees to look at some of his work, and by the end of the show they're caught making out in Zoe's house! It's bad enough that I might be facing the end of the handsome neurosurgeon, but having to watch Mia suck face with a bad actor who looks like he's in high school is downright disturbing! Seeing both of their faces smeared with red lipstick, I think my stomach lurched a little, no joke.
And dear, poor, confused Caitlin...which way will she swing this week? She and Alicia attend a dinner party, thrown by Zoe, and Alicia has to go lie down in the middle of it. When Caitlin goes to check on her, Alicia takes her hand and calmly tells her that she's pregnant. It was way strange to see a woman take the news that her partner was pregnant. I can't put my finger on why, but it was weird. Caitlin tells her "congratulations," and the next day Sam shows up at her office. (He's the guy she met at the lesbian bridal shower, remember?) He convinces her to have dinner with him, and they have to rush out of the restaurant in the middle of dinner because Alicia showed up with a friend at the same restaurant. I guess Caitlin drank enough to dull her senses, and she ended up sleeping with Sam. So, the next day Alicia confronts her (they didn't sneak out fast enough it seems), and we get to hear Caitlin lament once again about how she's really trying to figure things out right now. That's getting really old, really fast.
It's pretty bad when I go to my TiVo list hoping that it didn't record something! Unfortunately, it's still functioning the way it should be so I have more episodes to suffer through. I will do my best to be a "glass half full" kind of girl and keep hoping that next week will beat this one.

Department Goals
The faculty of the Department of Pediatrics at Boston University School of Medicine are unified by an unflinching commitment to excellence, professionalism, service, and discovery. We believe that our success as a department is dependent upon exceptional achievement in each of our core missions of clinical care, research, and education.
Overview of the Department of Pediatrics
The Department of Pediatrics contains 88 full-time faculty, which includes 8 faculty with a PhD. Of the total, 35 percent are associate or full professors, 66 percent are women, and 14 percent are underrepresented minorities.
Clinical Programs
The department's clinical programs provide a full range of clinical services to an extraordinarily diverse patient population from within Boston as well as the greater New England region. The clinical services have a distinguished history of providing care to vulnerable patient populations. The integration of the department's compelling social mission with a rigorous academic tradition creates an especially rich environment for patient care, training, and discovery.
Research Programs
The department's research programs foster a spirit of inquiry in the department's clinical and educational programs, and bring new preventive, diagnostic, and treatment modalities to our patient population. The department has an outstanding record of recruiting talented young researchers, 12 of whom have received K and/or other career development awards. Over the past 10 years, the department has received over $25 million in research grants. These projects derive from a rich tradition of mentorship and critical thinking, and are fostered by a supportive and collegial environment that encourages faculty and trainees to work and learn collaboratively. In the current academic year, the department's faculty and trainees secured approximately $5 million in research funds from governmental and private agencies.
Educational Programs
The department's educational programs have a long-standing tradition of training national leaders in research, clinical care, and medical education. The present faculty enthusiastically embrace this tradition and are eager to promote the development of the next generation of leaders in medicine. The Boston Combined Residency Program (BCRP) in Pediatrics was formed to meet the needs of the future, bringing together the training programs of Boston Medical Center (formerly Boston City Hospital) and Boston Children's Hospital. Boston Medical Center has a long and important history of clinical research, advocacy, public policy, and primary care training for pediatricians. Boston Children's Hospital is the nation's leading research and training institution dedicated to the care of children, adolescents, and young adults with unusual and complex medical problems. Currently, the BCRP has over 120 residents with almost 40% having an advanced degree. The goals of the department's educational programs are to attract the most outstanding trainees, enforce rigorous standards of achievement, develop a learning environment and individualized programs of study that help trainees reach their full potential, and to create an exemplary mixture of professionalism, service, and integrity.

hello all so i was thinking this friday im going to a salsa party. what really is exciting its not just some salsa in a club. Even better salsa on a boat with a live band. really cant wait what its all about. my dream = I also wanna have some salsa on the beach sunset. dancing away in the sand hear the wind blowing in your hair. but that wont happen untill next year. so far for me its only dancing on concrete outdoors dancing on really dirty sand dancing in clubs with good wooden floor or sometimes sticky even dangerously smooth floors(hmm not the correct word but ok) so give me some idea where eles i can do salsa
During our last trip to Tenerife, my wife and I treated local shoppers to a spontaneous couple of turns and steps down the aisle of a busy supermarket when "Abre Que Voy" came on the radio. There are no restrictions as to where you can't dance are there?
anywhere!!!! The gym!!!! on the Aerobics dance floor with half the people working out watching you because of the glass wall!!!! I had lots of fun!!!!
We have a monthly event here in Tokyo at the Hilton Hotel. They put a dancefloor in a beautiful, raised lounge area next to the hotel reception on the ground floor, so you dance in full view of all the guests arriving at the hotel.
I've danced on a sailboat...on the beach..on the roof of a manhattan building around 1 am...at the gym plenty of times...in a basketball court AND in a squash court (interesting feeling)...at the airport while waiting for a flight...once saw a couple practicing tango on the corner of a busy intersection in Boston, boombox included /edit: (totally forgot the couple of times I danced in some abandoned room at the Stanford University physics building - we had to move a bunch of lead plates out of the middle of the floor to make space)
omg... my old practice partner and I used to dance in the aerobics studio of a NY Sports Club. There was a huge glass wall separating us from a mob of muscleheads lifting iron. We always felt like such lightweights twirling around in front of the mirrors. We actually got some compliments and expressions of interest from a few the muscleheads, though I always suspected the rest were secretly laughing at us. A few times when I was working late I noticed a janitor and lady friend who danced Argentine tango after hours. They'd just dump the mop in the corner, turn up the tunes, and glide. Amazing.
motorway service stations (post pontins, practically a whole other festival happening whilst bemused motorists looked on) the beach on the sand (what a workout) the malecon, havana (both normally on friday nights with a trio and cuban friends, and with students accompanied by a bici-taxi with huge speakers for music) on a felucca boat floating down the nile in my office and the corridor when i used to be a middle-manager in lifts
In a storefront in Havana Centro. It was after hours and the employees had closed the place down, put on music and were doing a lesson or practice. People kept knocking on the door wanting to buy stuff because they thought the store was still open. Under an outdoor pavillion with skateboarders all around doing their tricks off the steps and between the dancers. It was quite irritating but they felt we had invaded "their" space. In an auto dealership. The owners had moved the cars out of the showroom and converted it into a live concert space. There was even a very very clean hardwood floor where the most prestigious vehicles were usually placed.
Pyramid, top of a butte, airport Some of the stranger places for us to dance have included.. the top of the Aztec Pyramid at Teotihuacan, Mexico (although our whole team got really sick after that. I think it was Montezuma's revenge.). If you care to see video: salsarueda.ning.com/video/video/show?id=2024211:Video:14264 Then we danced on top of Smith Rock Butte... we were terrified since all around us was a thousand-foot-or-so drop. We've got video of that too... salsarueda.ning.com/video/video/show?id=2024211:Video:15549 And we also danced at the ATL airport in between flights. This was at about 6 a.m. but we needed something to get the blood going after our 5 hour overnight flight. =) Video: salsarueda.ning.com/video/video/show?id=2024211%3AVideo%3A11101
Going up the Thames, on a boat fancy dress party in a (English) sailor outfit Danced most of the night with a dancer/salsero I never did catch the name of. Did get some looks in the WalkAbout as I had to change in a loo cubicle before getting on the boat!
ah the middle of the NYU quad, or Washington square park have both seen me salsa in public, but my favorite is: youtube.com/watch?v=bUKWWVK2wmk
I'm a fanatic naturalist who has worked in wilderness areas for years, so it's ironic that I generally don't like the idea of dancing outdoors. However, I love the scene in the movie Salsa where the stars dance in front of a billboard at night.
Parking structure. My girlfriend at the time and I put on some salsa music in the car, and started dancing. After a couple of songs, the parking enforcement lady came by and told us we have to stop, but she was smiling and obviously liked our dancing.
Like others, I've had a couple practice sessions in the aerobics room at the gym. Our annual Salsa en la Calle event is on a large outdoor concrete area partly under a freeway overpass. Last time I went it rained, so we were out there dancing while getting soaked. I decided that 'dancing in the rain' isn't quite as romantic a concept as I thought it would be.
Just remembered: I once practiced some dance steps in an elevator. I was working alone on Saturday in a lab and was going down to the mouse room to administer some drugs. So I had drugs, syringes, and a 50mL of pure alcohol (to sterilize) with me. I did some moves and the elevator stopped midway between floors. So I spent the next 45 minutes with all the paraphernalia in an elevator waiting for the techs to free me. And I couldn't even dance because I was afraid it would do something to the elevator again And latest addition: on a wooden platform of an outside theater at a school playground, surrounded by very tall trees - one of the best non-traditional dance experiences ever!
I guess my most unusual salsa-experience was on a ski-slope wearing skiing boots. (Wasn't my most elegant dance either ) And then I have also danced in a gym (actually, the gym salsa party became one of the most popular parties in the area I used to live)

The Indonesian government and the Free Aceh Movement, or GAM, signed a peace agreement today in Helsinki that brings to a close nearly thirty years of armed conflict on the island. Under the deal, GAM will disarm and be allowed to form a recognized political party. However, that party will not be allowed to seek a referendum on Acehnese independence from Indonesia.
- Malik Mahmood, GAM chief negotiator
Journalist Allan Nairn who has long been covering Aceh and East Timor wrote on his blog today, "If [the Acehnese] continue to speak for referendum they will likely continue to die, but they may now get something for it, since the fog of two-sided combat will presumably no longer obscure the one-sided repression by [the Indonesian military]."

The DSN-6000 joins D-Link's family of high performing storage solutions, including the DSN-4000 series of xStack® Storage iSCSI SAN arrays, offering a flexible storage architecture for IP surveillance installations and secondary server applications. D-Link's open architecture supports mixing non-proprietary SAS and SATA disk drives of various manufacturers, capacities, technologies, and speeds, making the DSN-6000 series ideal for storage tiering based on application requirements.
The DSN-6000 series offers extended warranty options, keeping systems covered for up to eight years, as well as next business day hardware replacement while under warranty. D-Link does not require service contracts to access no-cost firmware upgrades, ensuring IT managers receive hassle-free, industry leading support.

Method VALDATION
Method validation is the process used to confirm that the analytical procedure employed for a specific test is suitable for its intended use. Results from method validation can be used to judge the quality, reliability and consistency of analytical results; it is an integral part of any good analytical practice. Analytical methods need to be validated or revalidated
before their introduction into routine use;
whenever the conditions change for which the method has been validated (e.g., an instrument with different characteristics or samples with a different matrix); and
whenever the method is changed and the change is outside the original scope of the method.
The validity of a specific method should be demonstrated in laboratory experiments using samples or standards that are similar to unknown samples analyzed routinely. The preparation and execution should follow a validation protocol, preferably written in a step-by-step instruction format. Possible steps for a complete method validation are listed in Table 1. This proposed procedure assumes that the instrument has been selected and the method has been developed. It meets criteria such as ease of use; ability to be automated and to be controlled by computer systems; costs per analysis; sample throughput; turnaround time; and environmental, health and safety requirements.
What is validation?
ISO/IEC 17025 definition:
'The confirmationby examination and the provision of objective evidencethat the particular requirements for a specific intended use are fulfilled'
What is validation?
Specific intended use
– analytical requirement
– what will test method be used for? why are measurements required?
Objective evidence
– experimental data from method validation study
– information on method performance
– comparison of requirement with experimental evidence
Can the method deliver results that are fit for a particular purpose?
Why is method validation necessary?
Good science
Essential for ensuring reliability of results
Consistent application of methods
Better agreement between analysts/laboratories/ countries
Key requirement of accreditation standards–ISO/IEC 17025
Without validation there can be no assurance that results will be fit for purpose
When do you validate a method?
During method development
– is the proposed method likely to be fit for purpose?
Before using any method for analysis of test samples
– including standard/published methods which have been validated by others
– verify suitability for analytical requirement
– verify own ability to match published data
Change of application/working environment/analyst
Following period of non-use
ISO/IEC 17025 Selection of methods and method validation
§5.4.1 General
– laboratory shall use appropriate methods and procedures for all tests within its scope
§5.4.2 Selection of methods
– methods must meet customer requirements
– preference for standard methods (international/national standards)
– 'laboratory shall confirm that it can properly operate standard methods before introducing the tests'
– laboratory-developed methods may be used if they are validated
§5.4.5 Validation of methods
ISO definition
Types of method that require validation
– (standard -§5.4.2)
– non-standard
– laboratory designed/developed
– standard methods outside normal scope
– amplified/modified standard methods
Validation required to demonstrate that methods are fit for their intended use
Extent of validation
As extensive as necessary for application
Must record validation data and document procedures used
Include statement of 'fitness for purpose'
Method performance must be relevant to customer needs and assessed against intended use of the method
- measurement uncertainty, detection limit, selectivity, linearity, repeatability/reproducibility, robustness
Defining the analytical requirement
Why are the measurements required?
– what will the data be used for?
– quantitative or qualitative
– class/total/available/species
– likely concentration
– nature (matrix)
– size
Other considerations
– destructive vs non-destructive test
– timescale
– cost
Method performance parameters
– am I measuring what I think I'm measuring? are there any interferences?
Precision (repeatability, reproducibility)
– how close are the results of replicate measurements made on the same sample?
Bias, recovery
– how close are the results to the 'right'answer
Working range
– range of analyte concentrations that can be measured reliably
– limit of detection, limit of quantitation
– control necessary for each stage of the procedure
Depends on the criticality of the measurement, scope of the method, level of information and experience already available
Type of Analysis
Major Component
Trace Analysis
Physical Property
Specficity / selectivity
Limit of Detection
Limit of Quantitation
Linearity/working range
Major component :
analyte concentration in range 1-100%
Trace analysis :
analyte concentration less than 100 mg/kg
Fitness for purpose
Analyse data from method performance parameters
Are target values achieved?
– YES - method is fit for purpose
– NO - more development required
Method is validated by the declaration of fitness for purpose
Method validation is required to produce meaningful data
Both in-house and standard methods require validation/verification
Key requirement of ISO/IEC 17025
Validation should be a planned activity
– parameters required will vary with application
Validation is not complete without a statement of fitness for purpose

You can buy empty ice melt socks at hardware and home improvement centers. You can also easily make your own if you have some old nylon socks or stockings lying around the home. Simply poor 3 to 4 pounds of non-staining and non-corrosive ice melt into each sock and tie off the end of it.
Place an ice melt sock every 5 to 10 feet along the length of the roof. They should be placed perpendicularly over the ice dam, and run up the roof line approximately 12 to 18 inches. If you have gutters, have them extend outwards over the gutters. Over time the ice dam melting socks will melt grooves into the ice dams so that snow melt water can drain from the roof.
An ice melt sock will usually last an entire winter season, however you can easily refill them if necessary.

Mt. Pleasant Second Wind WheatBrewed by Mountain Town Brewing Company Mount Pleasant, Michigan USA
Authentic Bavarian Wheat Ale with hints of banana and clove
Too many times its been overheard, I would have another, if only I could catch my second wind? Now there is no excuse. This wonderfully different ale often takes its drinkers by surprise with its complex flavors created by the one of a kind weizen yeast. Its smooth, easy to drink and simply delicious. This gorgeous, medium bodied beer starts out with yeasty character and finishes off, happily, with a delicate spicy flavor. The adventurous will pair this beer up with everything from pizza to a hearty Rueben. Some of our patrons also insist that Second Wind Wheat is our best summertime beer, so pack a few for your next beach visit. Just one sip, and you will understand why some say its sweet summertime in a bottle. |

- The pumpkin heads summoned by the weapon are not stopped by walls or other objects.
- To create a swarm of homing pumpkins, one can easily kill statue spawned mobs (e.g. Bunnies from Bunny Statues).
- The pumpkin heads seem to either take a long time to despawn, or don't despawn at all despite flying off screen. They can come back to seek out a target that spawns later on if it fails to attack anything the first time it's spawned.
- If used in the dungeon, the homing pumpkins will start flying around circles over and over, chasing Spike Balls and Blazing Wheels, if there are any.
- Despite being called The Horseman's Blade, the Headless Horseman does not drop this weapon.
- The Horseman's Blade and its homing pumpkins may be a reference to The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, in which the main character is chased by his enemy masquerading as the Headless Horseman, who hurls a pumpkin at him.

Please always try to fill your hours, even over fill them, because there will always be call outs. If the business is just not there for your hours filled, then we can always send people home early (and there are always takers).

Great people to work with in a fast paced environment during the sales and holiday season.
You meet some great people and ... then some not so great peopleCons
They don't train anyone enough in this place, not associates, not managers and not even their support assocciates. They have all kinds of loopholes to keep things under wrap so that managers keep their jobs and this makes it all the more difficult to work here. Their HR dept is corrupt and inneffective, a lot of their managers are needed to go back into training--as sales associates!
There were unresolved issues and managers were innappropriate a lot, yet they always kept their jobs and positions. They expect too much of other specific associates and only acknowledged the associates that kissed up to the managers. I wouldn't recommend this job to my worst enemy, this company is a joke and a disappointment. Not enough back up, the managers make associates look incompetent and stupid in front of customers. Over the years, their integrity and mission have truly taken a turn for the worse. Every dept was always understaffed at closing and yet they expected so much more than was possible. I cannot stress it enough, if you are looking to work retail; GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! this job is a nightmare and you get so much older the longer you are there. I feel bad for anyone working there because of how hostile the environment is.
Macy's, i will never ever go back to you!
This job is not worth the time, effort or the stress you put into it.Advice to Management
Pay more attention to the training programs and how effective they really are. Have a more "do-able" goal for credit cards as well as sales and realize that "score cards" are only a way for people to sit at the register ringing up transactions and doing nothing else; if this is the way you want to keep in business then hire the "recovery" team you used to have on the west coast with the same number of members ALL YEAR LONG!!!! Listen to the Surveys you have your employees fill out every year to keep them happy. Hang onto every word on those completed surveys. I give you Kudos on hiring an oustanding corporate team to pay the visits; they pay attention to detail and are compassionate with the understaffed departments. All i ask is that you change around the rules a bit and make this a more suitable and appropriate environment. You train us to follow rules yet you have managers bend them to meet customer's needs, so why not bend the rules for associates alike?

Guerlain Gemma Rouge G Lipstick
Guerlain Gemma Le Rouge G de Guerlain Lipstick ($51.00 for 0.12 oz.) is described as a "rosy mauve." It's a medium, rosy pink with subtle, cool undertones and a warmer, golden pearl. The finish is lightly glossy with a fair amount of shy. The consistency is lightweight, hydrating, and glides on easily but doesn't settle into lip lines or look streaky on. It had mostly opaque color coverage and lasted for five hours on me. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

The atoll environment, in general, is a relatively restricted ecosystem where the impact of interference of man and nature will manifest conspicuously within a short time. The habitat is fragile, diverse and easily vulnerable and the effects of adverse factors on such systems are often of very serious consequences. Almost ail inhabited atolls of the world today are facing environmental stress both in the terrestrial and aquatic habitats. The post Worldwar II activities on the Indo-Pacific atolls, such as active settlement, extensive cultivation of crops, military establishments, atomic tests, oil exploitation, pollutions of various kinds, over exploitation of resources, wanton destruction of fauna and flora, introduction of exotic plants and animals, dredging and construction activities among the man made factors; cyclones, sea erosion, El-Nino, pests and predators coupled with natural senescence of corals among the natural factors are the major agents that have effected notable changes in the physiography, morphology and biotic communities of the atolls all over the world. Lack of large buffer zones around oceanic islands is a major impediment in the replenishment of the fauna, if subjected to depletion due to causes either natural or man made.
