Lancome L'Absolu Rouge
Lancome L'Absolu Rouge Reviews
Ten Stars for Glorious, Smooth Color!Lancome "L'Absolu Rouge" Lipstick has been in my purse for more than twenty years. The shades are amazing. My beloved mother and I are/were both "hooked" on "Blush Classique" (soft pink blush) and "Pink Sapphire" (a pink with a blue-lavender base which makes teeth appear whiter). The formula is infused with moisture-boosting Pro-Xylane™, which keeps your pout ultimately comfortable. Antioxi...read moredant Vitamin E and SPF 12 protect lips from damage. The shades glide on easily and wear a long time. There is a hard-to-describe, pleasant scent which I love. I also love the fact that my lips definitely seem to benefit from wear of this product; the more I use it, the less I need to turn to lip balms, even in cold weather.

Good and bad...I bought this lipstick in Crushed Rose, as the color was almost exactly the same as another lipstick I wanted, but was sold out. It's good and bad. One thing I like about it is the rich pigmentation. I don't need a lot to get a nice color, and this shade is very nice (compliments my fair skin, red hair & brown eyes combo very well--which is not always easy to find since most redheads have blue eye...read mores...). It also goes on very creamy, the tube is sleek and pretty with magnetic closure, so there's less fear that letting this kick around in my (expensive) purse will result in a lipstick disaster. But for me, shortly after application, it stops being very creamy and starts to feel rather dry. This lipstick also has a scent that I think is meant to be perfume-y, but to me comes off more like cheap drugstore lipstick. Ultimately, though--in spite of it's shortcomings, I'm going to keep it and will probably wear it regularly. It does last well, in my experience of wearing it all day today, and it doesn't require lip liner to prevent bleeding and feathering. For that and the lovely shade, I can tolerate a bit of dryness and strange smell... — 5 years, 1 month agotallredamanda | 433 reviews

Heart broken.A Lancome flop in lipstick which is so heart breaking!

Blood vessel cannulation
- Technique
- Summary
- Resources and references
- Blood vessel cannulation technique in other animals
- All blood sampling techniques in the rat
Blood vessel cannulation should be considered when repeated samples are required, as it avoids multiple needle entries at any one site. It is suitable for use in all strains of rat and can be used to take blood from the femoral artery and vein, carotid artery, jugular vein, vena cava and dorsal aorta. Surgery is required and appropriate anaesthesia and analgesia should be used to minimise any pain caused. Rats should be allowed to regain their pre-operative body weight before blood samples are taken. See this technique below.
Rat surgical cannulation blood vessel trimmed 2 copyright NC3Rs from NC3Rs on Vimeo.
The cannula is exteriorised at the nape of the neck (through a jacket and tether system) or the base of the tail (via a tail cuff and tether system). The use of a tail cuff is preferable to a jacket as the percentage of adverse effects has been found to be 1% of animals with the tail cuff compared to 5-10% for jacketed models. The tail cuff model also has minimal weight loss after surgery, whilst in the jacketed model the rat takes at least 24 hours to regain pre-operative weight. The use of a subcutaneous access port should be explored as it can eliminate the need for tethering systems during periods when animals are not being sampled from.
The jacket and tether system can restrict free movement and rats may need to be housed singly after surgery. The caging, bedding and environmental enrichment need to be appropriate to prevent the tether becoming entangled and the wound contaminated. In addition, the bedding needs to be sange free.
The cannula is small, which can promote blood clotting (larger cannulae can abrade the blood vessel wall). To prevent this, the cannula requires regular maintenance, (e.g. flushing with an anticoagulant).
Blood should be collected aseptically. Usually 0.1 - 0.2 ml can be taken per sample, and depending on the sample volume and scientific justification, up to six samples over a two hour period or up to 20 samples over a 24-hour period may be taken. Sterile saline with anticoagulant should be flushed into the cannula after blood sampling to prevent the blood from clotting. A pin is then inserted into the exteriorised end of the cannula, which stops the blood from flowing. A sterile locking solution can be used to lock the cannula after a series of samples have been taken, allowing flushing to be avoided for a number of days.
The following should be checked daily
- The skin in contact with the jackets should be checked for abrasion.
- The jacket should be checked for tightness.
- The tail cuff should be checked for tightness and the tail for swelling.
- Wound sites should be checked for infection/bruising/swelling/haemorrhage.
- The cannula should be checked for patency.
- The weight of the rat (for recovery work).
|Number of samples
|Depending on sample volume, up to six samples may be taken in a two hour period or up to 20 samples over a 24-hour period.
|Sample volume
|0.1 - 0.2 ml
|23G - 25G cannula
|Staff resource
|One person is required to take the blood sample. However, further staff resource is required for surgery, post-operative care for up to five days after surgery, and daily animal observations post-surgery.
|Adverse effects

Gwynne Dyer: A new Longitude Prize
Voting begins this week to choose the problem that the winner of the Longitude Prize 2014 will have to solve—and win £10 million.
It's a publicity gimmick, of course, but it may be very useful nevertheless. Especially because, unlike most of these prizes for innovation, it is meant to solve a problem that is of concern to all of humanity.
The DARPA Challenges are all about autonomous vehicles and robots, mostly with military applications.
The Ansari X Prize was for a low-cost reusable spacecraft capable of sub-orbital flight, and the follow-on Google Lunar X Prize is more of the same. Toys for the boys.
The $10 million Tricorder X Prize, announced in 2012, is a bit closer to the mark, as it would reward the development of an instant diagnostic device like the one used by Leonard "Bones" McCoy, the Chief Medical Officer in the original Star Trek series.
But the Longitude 2014 Prize is the real deal.
It marks the 300th anniversary of the first Longitude Prize, when the British parliament offered £20,000 (a sum comparable to £10 million now) to anyone who could devise a method for finding a ship's position at sea. Latitude—its distance north or south of the equator—could easily be found by measuring the height of the sun or the Pole Star above the horizon, but there was no good way of determining its east-west position: its longitude.
Instead, mariners relied on "dead reckoning". They kept track of what courses they steered, how fast they were going, and for how long, and added it all together to come up with a rough estimate of how far they had travelled east or west. But they could not accurately calculate the effect of ocean currents and winds on their position, and the ships often tacked to and fro.
After an ocean crossing, navigators were often wrong about their ship's position by hundreds of kilometres: landfall might occur with no warning, and quite possibly at night.
Worldwide, hundreds of ships were being lost each year, and so in 1714 the Longitude Prize was created.
The solution was obvious in principle. You just set your clock at noon at your port of departure, note the time it reads when the sun is highest wherever you are, and the difference between noon on the clock and noon at your present position will tell you your longitude. But your clock must stay accurate during long sea voyages.
They had good pendulum clocks in the 18th century, but pendulums didn't work very well on a rolling, pitching ship.
It took a long time to build a chronometer that stayed accurate enough (gaining or losing only a few seconds per month) to let mariners calculate their longitude to within one or two nautical miles, but by 1765 John Harrison, a clockmaker from Lincolnshire, had done the job.
He died a rich man, and he deserved his reward: thousands of ships were saved from shipwreck and hundreds of thousands of lives were spared in the century that followed.
The new Longitude Prize is all about saving human life (or improving it) on a very large scale.
There are six "challenges" on the Longitude Committee's list, and only one of them will be chosen for the prize. They are:
- Flight: How can we fly without damaging the environment?
- Food: How can we ensure everyone has nutritious sustainable food?
- Antibiotics: How can we prevent the rise of resistance to antibiotics?
- Paralysis: How can we restore movement to those with paralysis?
- Water: How can we ensure everyone has access to safe and clean water?
- Dementia: How can we help people with dementia live independently for longer?
When you read the actual "job descriptions" of these challenges, it's clear that some thought went into it.
Consider the antibiotics challenge, for example: "Clinicians often prescribe broad spectrum antibiotics to sick patients because doctors have to act quickly on imperfect information. These methods put selective pressure on microbes to evolve resistance to antibiotics....
"The challenge...will be to create a cheap, accurate, rapid, and easy-to-use test for bacterial infections that will allow doctors and nurses all over the world to better target their treatments, administering the right antibiotics at the right time. Point-of-care test kits will allow more targeted use of antibiotics, and an overall reduction in mis-diagnosis and prescription. This will ensure that the antibiotics we have now will be effective for longer."
So you could win this challenge with a working Tricorder—two prizes for the price of one?—and the breakthrough idea need not even come from the medical field.
As BBC Director-General Tony Hall said when the prize was announced: "There might be another modern-day John Harrison somewhere out there...and they may not even know that they're a scientist."
It's a kind of crowd-sourcing, and none the worse for that. The voting to decide which challenge gets the nod opened on May 22 on the BBC Horizon website, and closes on June 25.
Unfortunately, voting is restricted to British residents, but the prize is open to everybody in the world.
And maybe there are five other governments out there that would like to put up $10 or $20 million for a solution to one of the other five challenges.

Zero carbon flying is getting into the highly political climate/carbon/high altitude vapor debate which (in my opinion) is something we don't understand well enough yet to determine objectively what the solution should be. It also has a lot of attention & money on it right now, so this choice wouldn't be as impactfull.
I'm not a fan of the food one either. We already produce many times more grain per person than at any point in history. At $200-300 per ton (yearly calories for a family of 4-5), nutrition is not a technological problem. Cheap calories exist. It's rarely even really even an economic one. Wide scale nutritional deficits today are mostly a by product of war or instability. It's not something that can easily be addressed in a lab.
The antibiotics/diagnostics challenge seems well laid out and sounds encouragingly achievable. I like it.
Water/desalination too. I have no idea how achievable it is, but it's very well defined or judicable.
The dementia challenge is about "affordable technologies that revolutionise care." That's important. I have no idea for what they would be.
I love the paralysis challenge: "invent a solution that gives people with paralysis close to the same freedom of movement that most of us enjoy." Ambitious & clearly defined.
Whoever wrote these did a great job.

I can solve all the problems but the last one.
For the first one - jump off a cliff.
For the next 4 - kill everyone in the whole world (from Blackadder's 'the Wise Woman').
First five problems solved.

"Antibiotics: How can we prevent the rise of resistance to antibiotics?"
Some 80% of antibiotics go into animal feed to promote growth. The use is banned in some countries due to food contamination or concern about increasing antibiotic resistance
Agent Orange GMO crops should solve everything:
" by 1765 John Harrison, a clockmaker from Lincolnshire, had done the job. He died a rich man, and he deserved his reward: thousands of ships "
John Harrison died a rich man because he had little time to spend it - just 3 years. Harrison was 68 years old, in 1761 when he sent his chronometer on a transatlantic trial - 80 when he saw the prize. The Board of Longitude, who administered the longitude prizes never gave him the prize. He was forced to fight for his reward for over a decade:
'Harrison enlisted the aid of King George III. He obtained an audience with the King, who was extremely annoyed with the Board. King George tested the watch No.2 (H5)...Harrison received a monetary award in 1773, when he was 80 years old, but he never received the official award (which was never awarded to anyone). He was to survive for just three more years.'
"he deserved his reward: thousands of ships were saved from shipwreck and hundreds of thousands of lives were spared in the century that followed."
Chronometers didn't become standard for general nautical use by the end of the 18th century:

All 6 questions boil down to the same question that humanity has asked for centuries: "How can we beat Nature?"
We can't beat Nature; it always wins in the end. But we never learn.
We're smart enough to invent the saying "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" but we're apparently too stupid to apply it to Nature.
May 24, 2014 at 6:56pm
Mosby, we beat nature all the time. Note the lack of smallpox around you, human atmospheric & space flight, and our ability to destroy whole ecosystems without even trying. Of course, we don't so so without consequences, and solving the problems in the Longitude challenge will inevitable create more problems (wouldn't want future generations to get bored, would we?). But still, don't be so pessimistic.

One of Section 1's most successful basketball and football programs has fled.
The Poughkeepsie school board voted unanimously to join Section 9 for the 2014-15 school year at a board meeting Monday night. Its entry was approved by a 15-0 vote on Tuesday by Section 9's athletic council, according to Phil Strum of the Poughkeepsie Journal.
Amid rumors of a mass exodus of Dutchess schools, Poughkeepsie became the first school to leave Section 1 this year. According to the Poughkeepsie Journal, Our Lady of Lourdes has also applied and awaits word from Section 9. Arlington's school board voted earlier this month and rejected the move. Dover has already moved from Section 1 to Section 9. Rival Pawling discussed the move, but has decided not to make it for next school year. Beacon has also deliberated it.
One of the most interesting nuggets from Phil's story is that Section 9 has pushed back its deadline to apply from Nov. 30 to Dec. 30. Section 9 president Tom Cassata said that decision was made because of the large number of schools contemplating the move.
You have to wonder if Poughkeepsie's move will create something of a domino effect. John Jay-East Fishkill and Ketcham — both part of the Wappingers district — has said it will not apply to Section 9. Every other Section 1 school in Dutchess (Poughkeepsie, Arlington, Beacon, Lourdes and Pawling) have either made the move, voted on it or contemplated it.

Tonight at 8 p.m.: Bloomberg TV Examines Oil Dependency, Ethanol
Special report will explore the economics, politics, and more behind U.S. dependency.
NEW YORK -- Bloomberg Television will premier a half-hour special report entitled "The Ethanol Fix: Breaking America's Addiction to Oil" on Wednesday June 28 at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, hosted by anchor Carol Massar. The report will feature an in-depth look into the economics, politics, and public policy of ethanol as an alternative to oil.
With gasoline at $3 a gallon and oil hovering around $70 a barrel, many people are talking about one alternative fuel that could cut U.S. dependence on foreign oil: Ethanol. In this half-hour special report, "The Ethanol Fix: Breaking America's Addiction to Oil," Massar and producer Ramona Duoba reveal how much money is being poured into ethanol today -- from companies like Goldman Sachs to investors such as Bill Gates and whether the economics of ethanol make sense. They travel to Brazil to explain how that country has used ethanol made from sugarcane to virtually eliminate its need for foreign oil. And they ask the heads of the U.S. automakers how committed they are to producing flex fuel vehicles here in the U.S. Ultimately, it is the price of ethanol and gasoline, and not politics, that will fuel consumer demand and the future of ethanol.
"The Ethanol Fix: Breaking America's Addiction to Oil" will air on Bloomberg Television Wednesday June 28 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and will be repeated at 10:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time, Thursday June 29 at 8:00 p.m., 10:00 p.m., 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time, and Tuesday July 4 at 7:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Frozen Banana Mango Smoothie
Recipe by Wineaux
I love to freeze part of the fruit I use in smoothies because that eliminates the need to use ice and water down the flavor! This is a refreshing, yet rich-tasting smoothie that we enjoy often. Prep time does not include time to freeze bananas or slice mangoes.
Top Review by Sydney Mike
You've got a GREAT SMOOTHIE recipe here! I did leave out the vanilla extract & then used a fat-free vanilla yogurt, but the other ingredients were as listed, & the resulting smoothie was wonderful! I usually use pineapple juice in similar drinks, so this was a nice change of pace! Thanks for sharing!

LEGAZPI CITY, March 30 (PNA) – The province of Albay has been selected by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) as study area for out of school children aged 6-12.
The project is being implemented through the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) in collaboration with the Albay Millennium Development Goals Office (AMDGO).
The study seeks to trace and understand the determents of gender disparities in primary and education in the country. However, in Albay, the study will focus only on elementary school children.
Jeresha San Jose AMDGO Program Coordinator said that data gathering was started last March 14 to 18 in six school sites of Tabaco City schools division.
"Based on our initial data gathering through focus group discussions and one on one interview among respondents the factors of drop-outs among school children in elementary are child labor, disfunctional family and poverty," San Jose said.
According to her, the study will help generate an in-depth understanding of origins of gender disparities through a mix of quantitative and qualitative approaches.
"The result of the study also intends to propose policy interventions based on the findings," San Jose also said.
In a letter of PIDS to Albay Governor Joey Salceda, it was stated that the province of Albay has been selected because of the decision by the current provincial government to localize and monitor the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the willingness of the provincial government to be part of this undertaking with the aim of having a specific evidence-based LGU interventions that will enable these gender disparities to be addressed.
The expected release of analysis report is in November this year.(PNA)

Viewsonic Pro8200 Projector Review
Shadow Detail Performance
As is typical with projectors lacking stellar black level performance, shadow detail is pretty good.
In our seriously overexposed scene of Clint Eastwood in Space Cowboys, you can make out plenty of detail in the dark shades.
Below is a heavily overexposed scene from Lord of the Rings. The overexposure lets you see all the details in the shed on the right, the structure on the left, and the plants and ground along the lower right. The Pro8200 offers a great amount of dark shadow detail.
Below is a heavily overexposed scene from Lord of the Rings. The overexposure lets you see all the details in the shed on the right, the structure on the left, and the plants and ground along the lower right. The Pro8200 offers a great amount of dark shadow detail.
Click on left thumbnail image for the Viewsonic Pro8200, Mitsubishi HC4000 in the center, and the right for the Optoma HD20
Our last comparison uses the night train scene from Casino Royale. Look to the trees and shrubs on the right, especially just above the tracks. The first image is the Viewsonic, followed by the HC4000, the BenQ W6000, then Sony VPL-HW15, the Sharp XV-Z15000.
All considered, the Pro8200 reveals more of the dark shadow detail than just about any other projector we've recently worked with. Most impressive. In reality it was essentially identical to the HC3800, but our photo of the Pro8200 is a little darker.
Bottom Line, regarding shadow detail and black levels: When it comes to the shadow detail abilities of the Pro8200, there's nothing to worry about. The Viewsonic reveals most. The lack, however, of blacker blacks, translates into a lot less pop to those dark images, but you should still make out all that detail, even if it doesn't pop.
If you don't know if you ever took your LCDTV off of the default color mode (usually a Vivid type of mode with pumped up, just slightly over the top colors), in favore of normal, or theater settings, then this Pro8200's picture quality will be just fine for you. If, on the other hand, you occasionally like to tweak settings, look elsewhere. As I have said, this isn't an enthusiast's projector because we just couldn't calibrate it to look nearly perfect when it comes to colors.
That said, I've got The Dark Knight on the screen now, as I am writing this, and the city scenes look great. Skin tones aren't as perfect as I would like, but most won't notice.
Daytime scenes, really do look good, the brightness and vibrant colors do the trick. The darker scenes are where the Pro8200 no longer impresses. This is where those of us who notice, want blacker blacks, and dark scenes that pop.
Viewsonic Pro8200 - Overall Color & Picture Quality
The Viewsonic Pro8200 does OK, especially since it seems to do a little better than the Optoma and Vivitek on the blacks. But, the three are very close.
Spend a few hundred more and you can move up a step in black level performance. Otherwise, for the price, picture quality isn't bad at all.

I enjoy sex. Even writing that makes me wonder why I need to justify it. After reading countless posts about women not engaging in sex or simply not enjoying it; it makes me wonder whether women have just accepted the social norm – men love it and women have to put up with it.
I don't want to be one of those women. I don't want to have to "put up" with sex.
I'm used to the promiscuous tag as I identify myself as bisexual. I have had relationships and had sex with both men and women.
I have personally used prostitutes (escorts, strippers – whatever you want to call them) both male and female and while I'm sure this isn't the norm for most women – that's me. I don't apologise for that. The reason I'm putting my name to such personal information (let's face it I could remain anonymous) is that I'm trying to encourage women to own their sexuality and de-stigmatise them. I'm growing tired of the shackles.
If I'm not enjoying the sex I'm having I speak up or I just go without. Perhaps this isn't the case for everyone but (in most cases) I can separate sex and love. Does this make me a sex addict? There's no denying that sex is better when you're in love with the person but that's not for everyone. Of course I'm not naive enough to believe I won't grow out of this and I don't go around shagging every person I'm attracted to, I just usually know from the get-go if it's sex or love. If I think I may have feelings for the person I'm usually a little less forthcoming; shy even.
It is widely known that men visit prostitutes. Some would even say it's not particularly eyebrow raising nor would they blink an eye if a man admitted to paying for sex. "Sex addiction has been a media constant for several years now, thanks to serial philanderers such as Tiger Woods and Charlie Sheen," says Rachel Hills in her article The Naked Truth on the sex addiction myth. I guess we're used to men behaving this way. Women? Not so much.
'Remember that as recently as the early 1970s, the American Psychiatric Association still classified homosexuality as a mental illness. Similarly, deciding who and what qualifies as a "seriously ill" sex addict and what is simply a "healthy expression of human sexuality" means drawing boundaries with highly moralistic implications. How much masturbation is too much? How many partners is too many? Is there a difference between using sex as a panacea for your frustrations and being chemically dependent on it?'
This stuff fascinates me. I've had passionate sex; angry sex; soulful sex and sex with people I'd rather never see again. It's safe to say most of us have. I've had conversations with many girlfriends who confess that they feel their sex drive is quite high in relation to most men they've dated. I nod my head in agreement because it's still fairly taboo to be a woman and take pleasure in casual encounters, much less even consider being addicted to sex. We're either labelled 'sluts' or 'promiscuous'. For men it's just another notch on the bedpost.
Maybe this has more to do with being in tune with my sexuality than anything particularly abnormal about my behaviour. I'm sure there's other women out there who don't equate sex with love.
Gemma-Rose Turnbull wrote a piece on street sex workers which in part read:
"The message is that men are allowed to need sex and women are vessels for that need."
Women are looked down upon for having those same needs and being active in the pursuit for sex. By men and other women. I don't want to pretend that I know everything about the sex industry because I don't. I don't know what it's like to hustle; to score; to be so desperate for the money you'll pretty much say yes to anything. But I do know that there is a vocal minority of women who speak up every time an article about men and their unequivocal sex drive suddenly dominates conversation.
It would be absurd for me to speak on behalf of all women but I can and will speak openly about my own experiences. ANU sociologist Dr Helen Keane argues "if you look at how sex addiction is defined, there is a focus on activities that take away from the couple: affairs, promiscuity, masturbation, pornography." I have engaged in all four of those so-called warning signs. Is every person who uses sex to feel better about themselves in some way an addict? Why are we being made to feel guilty about our sexual urges?
I have seen many women who own their sexuality. They have casual encounters with men they've just met or pick-up men only to dispose of them hours later. Some may say this is "women having sex like men" but I disagree. I think women have always had the ability to have sex however and with whomever they want – it's just other individuals, particularly other women, who are our harshest critics.
If I can admit to the world that I enjoy sex with men and women; watch porn; masturbate and engage in promiscuous behaviour you have nothing to be ashamed of. This is just part of the puzzle of who I am. I love deeply; I spend many Friday and Saturday nights alone; I take long baths; I love to paint my nails in bright colours – all these other admissions somehow pale into comparison to our sex lives. Perhaps it's about time we stopped putting so much focus on what is "normal" with us – sex wise – and just started enjoying it.
How do you feel about sex? Is it covered in mystery or something that you openly discuss and embrace?

In Search of Chanterelles
Fall in the Pacific Northwest means the beginning of the rainy season and the first appearance of savory chanterelle mushrooms. I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday in November than being outdoors in cool, fresh mountain air, while gathering a fresh and tasty addition to my dinner. chanterelles are a versatile mushroom and I love that I can add them to spice up virtually any meal. My personal favorite is a yummy breakfast of chanterelles sautéed in butter and added to eggs with a dash of freshly chopped parsley from the garden. They also work well on top of meat dishes, like steak or pasta, and also make a mouth-watering soup.
When to look
Chanterelle growth is very weather dependent, but I usually start looking at the end of October and continue until around mid-November. I find the best time to start my search is after three inches of rain has fallen before the chanterelles begin to appear. It is best to wait at least a week or two after the first storms have passed. The most favorable conditions are a large storm with a few weeks of cloudy and light rain fall. With too much rain the chanterelles become mushy and inedible, while conditions that are too dry shorten the harvest season.
Where to look
I enjoy taking the relaxing, scenic drive from Portland to Tillamook State Forest to start my search. Chanterelles like to grow on a forest floor predominantly composed of fir needles and ground that is undisturbed. They can be found in forests that have predominantly one type of tree, like the Doug fir. I experience beautiful hikes while searching since chanterelles grow on slopes which means lots of climbing (and a good workout). The search is like a treasure hunt, and I love the moment when I spot the very first one and start daydreaming of the wonderful meals I can make with them.
What to bring
I bring a knife for cutting the mushrooms, a bag (preferably mesh so the mushroom can breathe), and good hiking shoes. Chanterelles are found in forests during the rainy season and it is best to wear warm, rain-resistant gear to stay dry and comfortable during your hunt! I store them in paper bags until I am ready to cook them so they don't become soggy.
What to watch out for
Lookalikes. There are many types of mushrooms, such as Jack-O-Lanterns, that appear very similar to chanterelle mushrooms. It is recommended that you are able to 100% identify the mushroom you are picking before you eat it. If you aren't sure, don't pick it! I recommend going with an experienced local expert or friend who can help you, especially on the first try. And remember, don't give up if you don't find them the first time! Scout other locations or try again when weather conditions are more ideal. The hunt for chanterelles can be as satisfying as the delicious meal you make when you finally find them.

Be Like Others
Dir: Tamaz Eshaghian. USA, Canada, Iran, 2008. 74minsBe Like Others , a documentary on a topic that seems almost like the start of a joke -- did you know that in Iran, homosexuality is punishable by death, but sex-change operations are not only sanctioned by the governing clerics but almost actively encouraged' -- turns out to be a thoughtful, touching, and at times even wrenching study of sexual and religious hypocrisy in that troubled land.

So if you have seen the new trailor for BD2 on this years VMA or on the internet you see there is indeed going to be a fight at the end.
We see just a small glimpse of the almost fight that could have happened and i think we are all looking forward to seeing the two sides clash.
So what do you guys think? Are you happy? Sad? Angry about them changing it from the book?
Who do you think will be seen fighting who? We see Edward and Bella tag teaming a guard, but what about the others? Will we see Kate and Jane fight? Will the titans that are Emmett and Felix clash? Who do you want to see fight?

Jetstar said in a statement on Thursday it has appointed Mr David to the newly created role of chief executive officer of Jetstar's long-haul international services out of Australia and Singapore.
As part of the management reshuffle, Jetstar's current CEO of Australia and New Zealand, David Hall, will take charge of the airline's short-haul operations serviced by single aisle Airbus A320 aircraft.
Both executives will report to Jetstar Group chief Jayne Hrdlicka.
Mr David was most recently CEO of Tiger Australia, and previously a senior executive of Virgin Blue before its rebranding as Virgin Australia.
Virgin announced in November it had reached an agreement to buy 60 per cent of Tiger's Australian arm from its Singapore-listed parent, as the John Borghetti-led airline looks to expand its domestic presence.
Mr David's appointment comes as Jetstar prepares to take delivery of the fuel efficient Boeing Dreamliner, ahead of the Qantas mainline operations.
"A key part of Andrew's role will be the smooth integration of the Boeing 787 into the Jetstar fleet, as well as contributing to ongoing improvements in customer service, operational safety and revenue growth," Ms Hrdlicka said.
"We are serious about being the best low fares airline in the world, and having dedicated CEOs for our short and long haul businesses is part of that."
Along with its Australian domestic and trans-Tasman operations, Jetstar flies to destinations across Asia and has subsidiary franchises in Singapore, Japan, and Vietnam. Jetstar Hong Kong is awaiting regulatory approval.

Woe to the British six-year-old whose parents sent him to school with cheese crackers. His punishment: four days suspension.
According to a story in The Guardian, the primary school student was sent home after teachers discovered a bag of Mini Cheddars in his lunch, and his parents were found in violation of the school's health and balanced meal policy.
This lack of parental support, the newspaper reported, quoting a letter sent to his family, "had led to Riley being put in a situation where he is continuously breaking school rules regarding health eating."
And so the rabid controversy over kids' lunches continues.
Last November, a Winnipeg daycare threatened a mom with a fine because she had failed to include a "grain" in her child's balanced lunch, which included, incidentally, roast beef, potatoes, carrots and an orange for dessert.
And last week, officials in Ohio had to apologize after a cafeteria worker seized the meals of a group of elementary school students whose lunch accounts were in arrears. Instead the kids were given an orange and a small carton of milk, while their actual lunch was tossed in the garbage. The case made national news in the United States, and lunch lady has been placed on leave.
Between allergy restrictions and health eating campaigns, packing the old brown bag has never been so complicated.
For the record, officials at Riley's school in Britain say that only one family – that is his – has complained about the policy, saying the response from the others has been "wonderful."
But Riley's parents aren't backing down. "We just do not see how they have a right to tell us what we can feed our son," says his mom, Nicola Mardle. "If anything, Riley is underweight and could do with putting on a few pounds."
It's not clear what else was in his lunch, but those "Baked Mini Cheddars" sound an awful lot like Goldfish crackers, minus the marine theme. If adding those to the lunch bag were grounds for suspension, Canadian schools would have solved the class-size problem.Report Typo/Error

Expectant mama Nia Long was spotted grabbing a drink at a local Starbucks on Wednesday (October 26) in Los Angeles, Calif.
The Big Momma's House actress – who is also mother to her 11-year-old son Massai Zhivago Dorsey II, her child with ex-fiance Massai Z. Dorsey – is expecting her first child with NBA player Ime Udoka sometime within the next month or so.
Nia recently bared her gorgeous baby bump on the November cover of Ebony magazine and revealed her thoughts about having a baby in her 40's.

text: Hollywood Uplink – January 2005: Has Hollywood Lost Its 'Passion?' Subscribe to Hollywood Uplink January 2005 Issue: 14:1 www.dove.org email@example.com 800-968-8437 Has Hollywood Lost Its 'Passion?' By Dick Rolfe I have been waiting eagerly for the preliminary nominees to be announced by this year's awards shows. The People's Choice Awards, The Golden Globes, the Academy Awards and the Top Ten movies of 2004 by the noted film critics dominate the entertainment news each January. I was certain that Hollywood would give proper acknowledgement and honor to the amazing creative excellence and staggering box office success of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ." [Click here to read my review.] The public has spoken, and with some surprisingly varied results. During the 31st Annual People's Choice Awards on Sunday, January 9th, "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "The Passion of the Christ" won the most votes for Best Movie and Best Movie Drama respectively. The People's Choice Award is the only one actually voted on by the public. It is given to a wide variety of entertainment categories from best movie to best smile. The nominations were determined by editors at Entertainment Weekly, the People's Choice production team and a panel of pop culture fans. Winners are determined by Internet voting. See the "Box Office Surprises…" story below for a complete list of this year's winners. The word is also out from Hollywood insiders…and so is Mel Gibson's "Passion." This magnificent work and everyone related to it managed to miss the radar screens of virtually everyone in the industry-wide Film Awards community and the major critics. Whether the MIA status of "The Passion" is a nonverbal snub by Hollywood insiders, or a reflection of their disconnect with the values and tastes of 150 million Americans who responded favorably to the film, is up for speculation. The fact remains that "The Passion of the Christ" is obvious by its absence from the list of nominees for the Golden Globe Awards and the Top Ten lists of most major film critics. The 2004 Oscar nominations have not been announced yet. But the prognosis is not good when you look at the list of top contenders touted by the pundits. The attached article by Govindini Murty, Co-Director of the new Liberty Film Festival in Los Angeles casts a revealing perspective on things. There is one long-term solution to these "creative differences" between Hollywood and the majority of movie-goers. Families must endure and continue "voting" for movies with redemptive themes, and support those films that reflect the values they hold dear. Regardless the outcome of the award shows one thing is clear. Hollywood is taking the family audience seriously. We see that reflected in the increase of G and PG movies populating the movie screens. The Dove Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Our mission is to encourage and promote the creation, production, distribution and consumption of wholesome family entertainment. We are supported primarily by donations from families such as yours who want to move Hollywood in a more family-friendly direction. All donations are tax deductible.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to assist you. I will give the best answer that I can with the information provided.
Hello there,
This is not true at all. Generally the EIC claim goes with the dependency claim, but there are special rules for children of divorced and separated parents.
Presuming that you and the ex lived apart in 2010, and your son lived with you for more than half the year, you are considered the custodial parent under IRS rules and your son is your qualifying child. You may release the dependency exemption to the other parent. The non-custodial parent may claim the child as a dependent and claim the child tax credit for that child, but cannot use that child to claim head of household status, child and dependency tax credit, or earned income credit.
You as the custodial parent are allowed to use the child for head of household status, earned income credit, and child and dependent tax credit if applicable.
The fact that your ex is claiming the child as a dependent does not preclude you from claiming these benefits, and the fact that you are claiming these benefits does not preclude your ex from claiming your son as a dependent.
Please let me know if you need additional information or references.
So the non-custodial parent cannot claim the EITC, correct? Also, do you have a reference for that?
That is correct.
The following is a link to the EIC publication. It has all of the rules and a lot of examples, some similar to your situation, and discusses rules for children of divorced or separated parents on page 19:
The specific paragraph the summarizes what I have told you:
If a child is treated as the qualifying child of the noncustodial parent under the special rule just described for children of divorced or separated parents or parents who live apart, only the noncustodial parent can claim an exemption and the child tax credit for the child.
However, the custodial parent, if eligible, or another eligible taxpayer can claim the child
as a qualifying child for the EIC and other tax benefits listed on page 16. If the child is the
qualifying child of more than one person for these benefits, then the tiebreaker rules
determine which person can treat the child as a qualifying child.

Scientists at the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research in Orangeburg have been awarded a $80,600 federal grant for research into Alzheimer's disease. The grant is from the Department of Health and Human Services, according to U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey.
At least 4 million people nationwide have Alzheimer's, which is marked by the progressive loss of memory and cognitive function. The number of people afflicted is expected to rise to 14 million by 2040 as baby boomers age, according to figures from the national Alzheimer's Association.

Columbus Vacation Packages
Columbus in Hill Country is inhabited by some 4,000 people.
The city is located some 80 miles (129 kilometers) from the state capital of Texas, Austin and about 70 miles (113 kilometers) from Houston.
There's no excuse to neglect your game when staying in Columbus; visit Hallettsville Golf Course, home to the most challenging fairways in the area. Get outfitted in the pro shop, and challenge the course average, then finish the day in the clubhouse sharing stories with friendly locals.
Travel through time with a visit to the Lavaca Historical Museum, one of the main historical museums. Stroll through the collection's peaceful corridors and view the ancient artifacts on display.
Columbus's major attractions sometimes overshadow the city's less visited, but equally rewarding sights such as the Vietnam Veterans Monument.

Golden Globe-winning actress Emily Blunt says that entering motherhood is her greatest accomplishment. Just before welcoming daughter Hazel, now 7 weeks, with husband John Krasinski, the Devil Wears Prada actress, 31, opened up to Vogue about the joys of pregnancy.
Prior to her daughter's birth on February 16, the actress posed for a baby bump photo shoot, looking stunning in a Commando V-neck slip.
"It's really the coolest thing that's ever happened to me," she said of impending motherhood.
She added: "I feel good, although I do wake up feeling like my grandmother. I sleep with a fortress of pillows around me. I've got one of those huge C-shaped ones. My husband calls it Gary."
When Blunt was filming Into the Woods (co-starring Johnny Depp, Chris Pine and Meryl Streep), her baby bump was barely becoming visible.
"I'm playing a baker's wife, so I figured she must eat a lot of buns," she said. "By the end I was doing a lot of creeping behind trees and hiding behind other characters."
As for her pregnancy cravings, the actress allowed herself "one coffee a day" and enjoyed gluten-free cookies.
"I know everyone rolls their eyes, but I met a hippie doctor who suggested it, and it's really helped me in the pregnancy," she said. The star said she took a "non-fuss, non-intense" approach to pregnancy. "Everyone says don't go online and read as few books as you possibly can."
To prepare for her role opposite Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow, Blunt underwent three months of Krav Maga martial-arts training and took gymnastics lessons before sporting an 85-pound costume with assault weapons built onto the arms and legs, held together by a steel plate. "I looked like an aerobics teacher by the end of it," she said of the rigorous film shoot. "It was almost unattractive."
She added: "I understand what it takes to get in that kind of shape. And when I got pregnant, not long after I finished the movie, it helped me to keep active."

TENTATIVE talks have got underway to see if one massive rubbish and recycling collection service can be launched for the whole of Worcestershire.
It has emerged that an investigation has now kicked off to see if there is any appetite for cash-strapped councils to team up and pool costs.
At the moment all six district councils have their own vehicles, staff and collection arrangements costing the county's taxpayers more than £10 million.
The idea of pooling costs was first raised by Worcestershire County Council's Liberal Democrat and Green parties back in January, when a motion was overwhelmingly backed calling for a review.
At the start of July a panel of councillors came together to kick it off, and from that a range of visits are now being planned to some of the best-performing town halls in the country to see if any ideas are worth taking away.
Because all the districts operate separate pick-ups in Worcestershire it has led to wildly different levels of service with recycling rates also varying hugely.
Councillor Ken Pollock said: "We are very aware the districts regard waste collection as a principle function, no matter how onerous it is.
"But there could be opportunities to pool costs by making management savings, for example.
"At this point it's about looking at the degree the districts might want to work together."

A RUGBY club is to invest in brand new facilities on the edge of Frenchay.
Dings Crusaders RFC plans to build a new ground, training facilities and clubhouse on a former market garden in a multi-million pound investment for the village which will be available for community use.
The club, which is desperate for a new home as its current home in Lockleaze has been branded unsuitable and beyond repair, has signed a lease on the land on Frenchay Park Road opposite the old Frenchay Hospital site.
Ray Bowden, director of Lockleaze Recreation Ground and rugby club president, aid: "After 10 years of searching we have at last found a suitable site and having reached agreement with Redrow Homes to develop our existing site it now all depends on securing the necessary planning permissions.
"It has been a long time coming but now we have a clear route forward and our energies have to be channelled into making this fantastic opportunity a reality."
He said the new site, between the former hospital site and the M32, will be known as Shaftesbury Park after The Shaftesbury Crusade, a Christian mission founded in the area between Barton Hill and Temple Meads which encouraged sporting activity.
Added Mr Bowden: "It is sufficiently large enough to accommodate our playing, training and community requirements for years to come.
"It will also allow us to develop our activities in related fields including expanding our playing base to include ladies and youth rugby, focusing on associated sporting interests such as referee coaching, and enhancing our community interests including working with local schools.
"We have an active programme sketched out and look forward to telling local groups and organisations about what we want to achieve both on and off the field, and how we can integrate with our new neighbours. Engaging and consulting with local communities will be key in the process moving forward."
The club said it had chosen the land as it was close to its existing home at Landseer Avenue, which has been home to the Dings for over 60 years.
"The new facilities are in the same South Gloucestershire Council ward – Frenchay and Stoke Park – and have been chosen for their proximity to the Lockleaze site," said Mr Bowden.
"We have a broad base of members living across north Bristol, South Gloucestershire and beyond with very few actually living near the existing ground.
"We are aware that there will be members who might have to travel slightly further but we will be talking to them to explore how we can help them with transport and, importantly, make it sustainable."
Plans for the new site are currently being drawn up and the consultation process is expected to start in July although meetings with local community and other groups have already started.

for pet loss grief support
Offering support, comfort and hope to those who have lost a pet or are facing a loss...
We are all here because we have lost a beloved pet, or are facing a loss. For some of us, the loss is very recent. For others, it may have been many years ago. But all of us understand the pain, from the earliest and rawest grief to the continuing awareness that we will always miss our loved ones, our Bridgekids (the pets who have gone ahead to Rainbow Bridge), until we are reunited with them.
We are all familiar with the darkness of grief, and the need for a light to shine through it. A support group can provide that light.
We're here for one another, and for you, with our message boards, chat rooms, candle ceremony and memorial pages.
Lighthouse Beacon (our newer, public board) is open for everyone to read. Registration is required to post messages.

As Javier, the actor will play a friendly game of pool with his ex-wife's husband and go shopping with his son.
The first look of Benjamin Bratt as Sofia Vergara's on-screen ex-husband on "Modern Family" has been shared. The actor who finished his commitment on "The Cleaner" when the show was axed earlier this year, will guest star as the brilliant father that Manny often raves on in one episode.
The character is named Javier and through the promotional photos, he will visit his ex-wife and son who now live with Jay Pritchett. Javier was often mentioned in previous episodes as a great but irresponsible husband and father. He once promised to take Manny out for a trip but got him waiting before canceling.
"Up All Night" will air on Wednesday, January 6 as the first episode in 2010. Gloria is less than pleased with Jay's reaction to the arrival of Javier, Manny's infamously unreliable dad. Meanwhile, Phil is suffering from kidney stones and his dramatics leave Claire no other choice but to call for the hot firemen to rush him to the hospital, and Mitchell and Cameron have a harder time than Lily as they attempt to sleep train her.
After Benjamin Bratt, the show also welcomes Chazz Palminteri to guest star on the January 13 episode. He will play Jay's friend named Shorty whom Jay suspects as a closeted gay.

What is wrong with the U.S. Treasury's troubled asset relief program (TARP)? Quite a lot, judging from two reports on the program. Both Government Accountability Office (GAO – always at the top of my annual Top 10 Best Government Agencies List) and a Congressional Oversight Panel (COP) for "economic stabilization."
While it's tempting to click into coy headline writing mode ("COP Busts TARP" and "Is TARP Troubled?" come to mind), the questions these reports raise are sobering. Here's the GAO's report.
The oversight panel report, in fact, asks 10 tough questions, including this one: What have financial institutions done with the taxpayers' money received so far?
Well, the banks are hoarding it. Someone who has spoken to top executives at several of the world's largest banks, told me as much a few weeks ago:
"There is a lot of hoarding of cash," he said, "and I think the $700 billion bailout is going to be hoarded. This statement was made to me: 'We (banks) don't see our primary goal as making sure that everybody has money. Our primary goal is to survive. If you give us money we're going to use it to survive. I also heard someone say this: I'd rather use money given to me to buy another bank than to do risky loans."
As my source concluded, "That's not exactly why we're putting billions or trillions into banks."
And that's exactly why the GAO and COP reports appeared and warrant consideration and a response.

Made a revelatory-seeming four-day totally silent retreat, now make one each year -- incredibly enriching; working now at re-establishing a faith that once had me very close to the priesthood. I was married, "outside the Church", as they say, but had drifted from the Faith before then.
Think I have reasonable strength of character, sense of humor; accepting of others; fairly sound intellectually and emotionally. Willing to accept others at face value, participate in their interests. I take good care of myself, with a careful diet, strenuous exercise; I could and would joyfully participate in helping raise an existing or new child.
Not at all sure why I'm doing this; hope to run into someone equally off-plumb, I guess... who might want to communicate somehow, participate in activities I enjoy... and I want to learn of and enjoy what that someone prefers.
