Merle Norman Luxuvia Delicate Balance Calming Cleanser Reviews
Absolutely Wonderful!I've been using cleansers to remove residue of makeup. Usually. those cleansers would just free the skin from makeup and not do anything "better". My sensitive skin would not respond well to strong chemicals either. This cleanser has been a miracle. Not only does it freshen my face, but it has helped me regain the softness of the facial skin — 4 years, 7 months agobiasarwar | 5 reviews

Great!My face used to have these little white bumps (not whiteheads) and they were covering my cheeks. I also had very bad/noticeable blackehads, and the LUXIVA line cleared my face, I'd say, about 96%. Now, I also used the toner, the refining, and the moisturizer. I also used the exfoliator once a week. This line is great for sensative skin, and I highly reccommend it! And, also, I still use it just so those imperfections don't come back! — 9 years, 2 months agoOceanBreeze986 | 11 reviews

WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after the Continuing Resolution failed to pass the House:
"This vote sent a clear message to Republicans: the American people want a bipartisan approach to running our government. We should immediately pass disaster relief that meets the needs of our people and protect - not cut - programs proven to create jobs while we reduce the deficit. If Republican leaders bring a bill to the floor that honors the bipartisan agreement from August, they will find it has bipartisan support for passage."

Ribbon Tripe: Pho Tai Sach Bo Vien from Khai Hoan
Ribbons of omasum tripe afloat in a bowl of pho tai sach bo vien
Erica O'Neil
Despite what the supermarket aisle may lead you to believe, there's more to an animal than neatly wrapped styrofoam trays of meat. From tongue to tail, offal (pronounced awful) encompasses all those taboo edibles that don't make the cut at your local grocer. Just Offal is here to explore these oft-neglected byproducts of butchering, featuring different offal meals from establishments across the Valley.
This week: Ribbon Tripe from Khai Hoan
The Ick Factor: What we like to call ribbon tripe is thin slices of omasum, the stippled stomach meat from a cow (as opposed to the smooth or honeycomb varieties, just in case you're a tripe aficionado). But even if you don't think you could "stomach" the though of eating ribbon tripe, you have to admit that it's "offal" pretty afloat in a bowl of steaming hot pho.
(bite into all the juicy details after the jump)
Can you stomach this huge pile of tripe? Look for the stippled omasum to the right.
Wikimedia Commons
The Offal Choice: The Pho Tai Sach Bo Vien from Khai Hoan. Quick lesson in how to order pho: Tai is the thin raw beef slices that are cooked by the heat of the broth, Sach would be those delicious ribbons of tripe, and Bo Vien are the funny little oval-shaped meatballs. We're still not entirely convinced those mystery meat-a-balls don't have a bit of offal gristle in them.
Tastes Just Like: Nothing much. The flavor of the ribbon tripe is fairly innocuous and manages to absorb the fragrant and flavorful broth. On its own the tripe is slightly nutty in flavor, with the texture of al dente pasta. Ribbon tripe definitely has some "bite" to it, and it will offer chewy resistance at being consumed. The thinner you can get your ribbon tripe, the easier it is to mistake it for rice noodles, so if you're DIY-ing some pho (because that's totally how we see our weekend shaping up), slice that tripe into feathery little ribbons.
Always been a DIY-er? The tripe is the easy stuff to find. The pho takes a bit longer to whip up from scratch, but this cheeky step-by-step tutorial for Pho Tai will have you chowing down in only several hours time. Unless you have many hours free during which you can boil marrow bones to create a fragrant, umami-laden base for your soup, it's best to leave the pho to the experts.

As I was browsing through FlashLounge today, I can across a link to Social Circles, an application written by Marcos Weskamp and Dan Albritton. Social Circles seeks to create a visual representation of the dynamics of mailing lists by charting contributors. Each contributor's size and position on the chart indicates the frequency with which they post, and how "visible" those posts are.
Why was it created? Although I would encourage you to check out the Social Circles about page, here are a few excerpts that I think do a good job of summing the project up:
Social Circles intends to partially reveal the social networks that emerge in mailing lists…When subscribing to a mailing list you never know who the principals are, how many people are listening or what subjects they are talking about. It's like entering a meeting room with plenty of people in the darkness and then having to learn who is who by just listening to their voices… Social Circles … aims to raise the lights in that room just enough to let you enhance your perception of what's happening.
This is a very interesting and innovative project, and I think very effective. Check it out and see where you fit in.

Ramiro is a 66-year-old veteran who lives on the Pascua Yaqui Nation on Tucson's southwest side. He spends up to 30 hours each week helping frail elders in his community with the daily living tasks that have become difficult or impossible to do alone.
He takes his clients to the tribe's senior center for meals, accompanies them to medical appointments, and has helped them enroll in various services to which they are entitled.
By increasing their interaction with others, their activity level, their access to services and even their nutrition, this help may ultimately prevent Ramiro's clients from having to give up independent living and enter an expensive nursing facility.
Shirley, a 77-year-old widow, helps people at a nonprofit senior community in Tucson. One of her clients was doing poorly in independent living, mostly because of memory loss. Her apartment was cluttered, medical appointments were forgotten and bills were not paid. Shirley helped her get organized and now accompanies her to appointments and meals. With Shirley's intervention, her client does not have to be moved to assisted living.
Their clients are grateful, but Ramiro and Shirley would say they get the better part of the deal. Being of service to others gives them a reason to get up every day.
Ramiro and Shirley are Senior Companions, just two of 44 volunteers in Tucson who give more than 46,000 hours of service each year to help keep other seniors living independently, inexpensively and at home.
Sponsored by Senior Corps, the federal Senior Companion program has been quietly at work in communities across the country since 1972. The program, administered locally by Our Family Services since 2001, fills a critical need for low-income, frail elders in cities and towns across the United States. As Congress struggles to trim the federal budget, it would be penny-wise and pound-foolish to eliminate a program that delivers so much to so many for so little.
The Senior Companion program is one of the best examples of federal dollars well-spent. It costs just $7 to provide one hour of Senior Companion service. (This includes training, mileage, insurance, etc.)
Compare this to the cost of private in-home care, which can run anywhere from $15 to $25 per hour. Senior Companion services are free to frail, low-income seniors, run by local nonprofits with whom we partner.
The Senior Companion program isn't just a win-win - it's a triple win for senior volunteers, for frail elders, and for financially stressed communities everywhere looking for cost-effective ways to care for their aging populations.
Fran Coleman is manager of the Senior Companion Program at Our Family Services. For information on becoming a Senior Companion, go online to www.ourfamilyservices.org or call 323-1708, Ext. 240.

Scientists in Australia are reporting development and testing in laboratory animals of a potential new material for diagnosing malignant melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. Their study is scheduled for the September 10 issue of the ACS' Journal of the Medicinal Chemistry.
Ivan Greguric and colleagues working within the Cooperative Research Consortium for Biomedical Imaging Develop, an Australian Government funded research group, note that about 130,000 new cases of malignant melanoma occur each year worldwide. Patients do best with early diagnosis and prompt treatment. The positron emission tomography (PET) scans sometimes used for diagnosis sometimes miss small cancers, delaying diagnosis and treatment.
The scientists' search for better ways of diagnosis led them to a new group of radioactive imaging agents, called fluoronicotinamides, which they tested in laboratory mice that had melanoma. The most promising substance revealed melanoma cells with greater accuracy than imaging agents now in use, the scientists note. As a result, this substance could become a "superior" PET imaging agent for improving the diagnosis and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment of melanoma, they say. Clinical trials with this new agent are now scheduled for 2010.

Hanson recipient of Golden Apple Award
The North Dakota Association of Elementary School Principals awarded Betty Hanson the Golden Apple Award at their recent banquet held at the NDAESP Mid-Winter Conference in Dickinson, ND. Unfortunately Hanson was unable to attend.
Before the N.D. National Distinguished Principals award was created, the Golden Apple Award was the highest honor given by the N.D. Association of Elementary School Principals. This award was created to honor individuals who had served the association and profession through their involvement in (or service to) the association, their colleagues in education and through their efforts improved the lives of children in a meaningful way. This award is given for meritorious service to the North Dakota Association of Elementary principals, to other principals, students and staff over an extended period of time. The person may or may not be a member of NDAESP, but must represent the ideals and goals of our association.
Betty Hanson has served as principal of the Lodoen Kindergarten Center in West Fargo for the eight years. She implemented the Boys Town Education Model of teaching basic Life Skills as the foundation of the school's discipline program. She also successfully applied for the Comprehensive School Reform Demonstration grant which is designed to increase student achievement by assisting public schools implement comprehensive reforms that are grounded in scientifically based research and effective practices.
Hanson also serves on many district committees, most notably the District Advanced Steering and the Long Range Facilities Planning Committees.

The aim of the study is to investigate the use of a new FDA-approved non-invasive bio-impedance cardiac monitor, ICON, to detect hemodynamic effects during sedation in children undergoing radiology procedures. The purpose of the study is to determine the ability of the ICON monitor to identify the anticipated and documented hemodynamic changes in children which occur in response to Dexmedetomidine sedation. The investigators postulate that if the ICON device can trend hemodynamic changes, if any, during dexmedetomidine (DEX) sedation in children the investigators can delineate changes in cardiac output, stroke volume, and systemic vascular resistance associated with observed changes in heart rate and blood pressure.

We have hurricane days over snow days.
We drink Soda instead of Pop.
We track in sand over slush.
Our tea comes with sugar without asking.
And we have holidays y'all don't have.
Actually I have to say this is the first time I have come across this myself. I grew up on the panhandle in Florida, then lived in the hell they call Texas, then off to South Carolina before karma dropped me in Ohio for two horrifically cold and frigid years. Then we moved back to the south and settled in Alabama…for a little bit.
Thats where we are now on the coastline in Mobile.
When Charlotte started public school this past fall I didnt figure it would be much different than any of the southern schools I had attended.WRONG.
I could do nothing but laugh when her new school schedule came home for this month:
You see, Mobile is the birth place of Mardi Gras. Not New Orleans…Mobile.
And apparently the school board has given Charlotte (and her entire elementary school) three full days off this week…you know, just in case she gets too drunk at the parades or something to complete her ABC's.
Three days.
For Mardi Gras.
And I just love how the following week they added a "teacher planning day", because clearly there is too much debauchery this week to get any of that done.

a little safari
H&M sweater and shorts / Forever 21 blouse, earrings and ring / Le Chateau shoes / Old Navy clutch
I was very happy to see this blouse (along with a few more pieces) come in the mail recently. I went a little
crazy at the Forever 21 online sale a few weeks back for Black Friday. This blouse has a bit of a safari
themed print going on, so I pulled out my safari clutch. Luckily it doesn't look like competing patterns.

Scouts, volunteers team up for conservation day
Wet conditions failed to dampen the spirits of more than 200 volunteers as they worked together to remove stands of buckthorn and brush along the shores of Oak Ridge Lake as part of the third annual Conservation Day on the WPA (Waterfowl Production Area) sponsored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
A last minute deal by members of Congress to avoid a shutdown insured the event would take place as scheduled.
"It was close," Tom Kerr, USFWS District Manager, said. "At the last minute on Thursday, we decided to go for it."
For the first time in the history of Conservation Day, local Girl Scout troops joined area Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts along with student volunteers from UW-River Falls and UW-Stevens Point under the direction of USFWS personnel. Dozens of students assisted volunteers in determining what vegetation to cut and what to leave standing during the morning session.
In years past, volunteers have worked clearing the oak forest on the high ground along the west shore of the lake.
"This year's project is to restore the little bit of oak savanna right on the edge of the water in preparation for restoring a small wetland next year," Kerr said.
A ditch connecting the wetland to the lake will be plugged next year in an effort to flood the lowland, and restore the wetland.
During the afternoon session, students manned six educational stations designed to focus on one of the six big uses of National Wildlife Refuges.
"If they are compatible with the property, those uses are hunting, fishing, wildlife photography, wildlife observation, interpretation and environmental education," Kerr said.
Following lunch, volunteers divided into small groups and took turns rotating through the various stations.
Jesse Garza, deputy district director for U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy, was on hand to present Congressional Commendations for stewardship and voluntarism to Steve Wojan, chairman of the Eagle River District of the Northern Star Council of the Boy Scouts and Brian Headlee, president of the Friends of the St. Croix Wetlands Management District.
Garza read from a statement on behalf of Duffy: "Volunteers are the heart and soul of this great country and your selfless acts on behalf of the St. Croix Wetlands Management District are very much appreciated. Your community is a better place because of your hard work."
The countless hours of work by Scouts and students over the past three years has transformed the Oak Ridge property from an impenetrable bramble into the gem of local WPAs and home to an impressive range of plants and wildlife.
"We truly appreciate all the partnerships," Kerr said.

GCP sells £150m of properties to GPE
The Great Capital Partnership ("GCP"), a 50/50 joint venture between Great Portland Estates plc ("GPE") and Capco, has exchanged contracts to sell five West End properties to GPE for a combined price of £150 million, or £75 million for the half share GPE does not already own. The properties included in this transaction are set out below.
Area (sq ft)
Net Rent
Kingsland House
122/124 Regent Street, W1
Carrington House
126/130 Regent Street, W1
Walmar House
288/300 Regent Street &
13/14 Great Castle Street, W1
St Lawrence House
26/30 Broadwick Street, W1
48/54 Broadwick Street & 10/16 Dufours Place, W1
Kingsland House and Carrington House, which adjoin each other, together form a medium term redevelopment opportunity on Regent Street opposite the new Superdry and Burberry flagship stores. They produce £2.3 million of annual rent off £41.75 per sq ft for the office space and £253 per sq ft zone A for the retail premises, and yield 4.8% and 4.6% respectively.
Further up Regent Street, Walmar House, 288/300 Regent Street and 13/14 Great Castle Street, comprise a 59,240 sq ft consented refurbishment opposite GPE's redevelopment of 33 Margaret Street (formerly Marcol House). The proposed scheme includes 37,760 sq ft of Grade A offices over six floors, the creation of a new 10,000 sq ft flagship retail unit on the corner of Regent Street and Great Castle Street, and four residential units. With the exception of two existing retail units, the remainder of the property is vacant.
St Lawrence House comprises three adjoining buildings including offices, retail and residential and extends to 72,399 sq ft on a site of 0.49 acres. In the short term, the acquisition offers GPE a good running yield at 5.4% in a prime Soho location, producing a total income of £2.57 million off an average office rent of £35.50 per sq ft. In the longer term, there is potential to develop a larger building on this prominent corner site. 48/54 Broadwick Street & 10/16 Dufours Place sit within close proximity to St Lawrence House and comprise approximately 30,000 sq ft of office accommodation within four Grade II Listed buildings fronting Broadwick Street with a modern office building to the rear. The net initial yield is 4.3% rising to 5% on the letting of a vacant office floor.
Completion of the transaction is conditional upon approvals from both the freeholder and the lenders to GCP.
Toby Courtauld, Chief Executive of GPE said, "Whilst perhaps non-core to GCP, these are classic GPE assets so it makes good sense to buy in the half we don't already own. The acquisition both enables the refurbishment of Walmar House and 13/14 Great Castle Street in the near term and provides medium term repositioning opportunities in both Soho and Regent Street with a solid income return in the meantime".

Carnoustie is a town and former police burgh in the council area of Angus, Scotland. It is at the mouth of the Barry Burn on the North Sea coast. In the 2001 census, Carnoustie had a population of 10,561,[1] making it the fourth largest town in Angus.
The town was founded in the late 18th century, and grew rapidly throughout the 19th century due to the growth of the local textile industry. It was popular as a tourist resort from the early Victorian era up to the latter half of the 20th century, due to its seaside location, and is best known for its associations with golf.
Carnoustie can be considered a dormitory town for its nearest city, Dundee, which is to the west. It is served by Carnoustie railway station, and less so by Golf Street railway station. Its nearest major road is the A92.

Edward Joseph White was born in Ryde, Isle of Wight, Hampshire, England in 1885 and his birth was registered in the second quarter of that year. He was the son of Richard White (1857-?), a coachman, and Bessie Roach (1858-1948), both natives of the Isle of Wight who had married in 1878.
Edward, better known as Joseph, was one of ten children, nine of whom survived past infancy. His known siblings were: Ellen Margaret (b. 1879), Milia Elizabeth (b. 1880), George (b. 1881), Constance Edith (b. 1883), Arthur Charles (b. 1886), Harry Pearce (b. 1888), Frederick (b. 1890) and Ernest Evelyn (b. 1892).
Joseph and his family first appear together on the 1901 census when living at 42 Albert Street, Ryde. Joseph, aged 16, was described as a stationer's errand boy. It is uncertain when Joseph commenced his seafaring career, but by the time of the 1911 census he was described as a ship's steward whilst a visitor at 146 High Street, Southampton, seemingly an aunt's address, with his fiancée Emily Attrill (b. 1891 in Ryde, Isle of Wight).
Joseph and Emily were married in early 1912 on the Isle of Wight. They later settled at 41 Thackeray Road, Southampton and are listed there on the 1912 Southampton Street Directory.
When Joseph signed-on to the Titanic, on 4 April 1912, he gave his address as 41 Thackeray Road, (Southampton). His last ship had been the Olympic. As a glory-hole steward he received monthly wages of £3 15s
White died in the sinking. His body was recovered by the Mackay-Bennett (#272) and was buried at Fairview cemetery, Halifax, Nova Scotia on 8 May 1912.

CLOTHING - Blue suit; white jacket.
EFFECTS - One pipe; 6 shillings. G. H. STEWARD.
NAME - J. WHITE (on jacket).
Following the loss of her husband it appears Joseph's widow was remarried, but what became of her is uncertain.

As the title says, I need map ideas for the WoM servers. If you have any ideas, please post them below!
Please login to view downloads!
I agree lets do the Giant Butt
One big underwater dome, with real water. =D
Another map like blizzard would be cool, just without the snowing. ;)
how about a bunch of tall plateaus and hoodoos and stuff.
I think gigantic pillars of rock that widen at the top could be cool, cause people could build on the flat tops, and down in the depths between the pillars there could be little hidden buildings and stuff...
^^ linky
Maybe something roughly based off dozen or so giant versions of those with crevaces deep between them?
EDIT: a very crappy rough sketch of what im talkin about
A map with alot of sky islands would be really cool, and you could have like water, or maybe just ground below.
Definitely a cave system, lots of tunnels and some GIANT caverns to connect them, maybe 4 or 5 caverns with 1 in the middle. And no surface. Or a surface, but no building there except by OPs or something, like making a garden and other stuff you would build if you finally found light. And lava in big caves near the bottom, preferably real lava. That would be sweet.
Well since so many people are building sky islands on the normal servers I don't see why not.
refer to this and use world machine. somewhere in the deepest darkest depths of the thread there is a tutorial but its basically make map, export heightmap, shove into omen, save. you'll probably need to fiddle with the world machine settings to get the map the right size but it creates lots of very nice landscapes. :D
Big big flatgrass, with theme - citybuild.
i still have a idea of 3 pilers that are connected with a bridge of earth (pilers are from earth too) these must be on a island with a giant ocean around it
it looks a cool idea of you know how it must looks like
I would have a desert with a huge fault in the center, a bit like Diablo museum..
..with lava underground, also ;D
a battle field with 2 castles people pick sides and build for that castle
Make an upside down world (very hard to build on though D:)or A map that is extremely Christmas themed. Ugh, that's all I got :S
an underwater city
and create a giant volcanic crag
not exactly like this, but somthing similer. just an idea
a giant underground ruins from a past civilization. At the top, you could have an op city on a regular flatgrass. Use the hexagonal pattern with unbreakable bricks to insure that non-ops can't get to the surface. You could even make a jail with a veiw of the surface while they can't access it!
Just a few problems with this suggestion.
- 1. All blocks are deletable.
- 2. Noclip and flyhax can deliver to surface.
- No jails are hosted on WoM servers because they are easily deleted.
Terribly sorry if I hindered your thoughts.
those who know me should expect this from me..... a hell map, with stalagtites/mites and loads of lava, all seemingly in a underground cavern with multiple areas.
half flat grass and random
would give a awesome map aslo a HUGE map
i say do it =D
Each with a different Habitat and then benieth them, have a hellish and dead world
im stcuk as well, im entering a contest for a free account, needs to be creative
Build White Gold Tower,or anywhere else in Cyrodiil... Maybe an Oblivion Tower.
underwater world, no dry land at all
Hmm I'll throw down a few ideas:
Someone said a cave map, I like that idea. Enormous caverns with small, interconnecting passages, stalactites, stalagmites, and little or no surface area would be pretty nifty. Would be tough to make in an editor though. Comparatively limited space would also force people to think about their
builds a bit more, rather than using /fill to cover the map in giant
square castles.
A jungle map, with enormous trees. Hand crafted gigantic trees made by three or four people, then copy/pasted across the map creating a dense canopy which effectively divides top and bottom. Would be terrific for treehouses, villiages, and the like. Same thing with the slightly limited space as above. Let me know if you need help making trees, I make a mean tree.
A cloud map. Puffy white clouds of white and grey cloth to build on, there could be several layers of these down to the bottom of the map, or perhaps a small amount of ground below. Awesome for airships, and flying builds, as well as cloud castles and the like.
Ice fields/Glaciers map. This might be difficult to make as well, but but sheer cliffs of ice with glaciers, and maybe a flat, tundra part with water underneath as well. Could add all sorts of cracks and breaks throughout the map. Great for all things cold.
Steampunk map. Of course I'd suggest this, more a theme than a map idea, but it would lead to some pretty neat builds. Maybe a cliff filled, canyon map with a river running through. A small town somewhere of mostly wood and stone to get people started.
I've got a whole whack more, hopefully theres something worthwhile in there though.
how about the eifel tower?
One idea: the Death Star. Y'now, Star wars :D

Mannington Commercial, HOK Product Design and Pallas Textiles multiply their knowledge and create two innovative collections for modern healthcare settings.
Mannington Commercial, HOK Product Design and Pallas Textiles multiply their knowledge and create two innovative collections for modern healthcare settings.
To all of the cynics out there: there's a good reason why collaboration has become such a buzzword in design circles. When groups that don't normally interact combine their energies toward a singular goal, exciting things can happen. It's innovation in action, and the results can be significant.
Such was the case when Mannington Commercial, HOK Product Design and Pallas Textiles recently joined forces to look at healthcare flooring and
privacy curtains as part of a broader cross-platform. The resulting Vivendi and Valetudo collections provide an entirely new opportunity for healthcare design.
"Mannington has a long-standing relationship with HOK, including several successful collaborations for both carpet and hard-surface flooring," says Natalie Jones, vice president of commercial brand development and creative product with Mannington Commercial. "We looked at the healthcare resilient sheet market and felt there had not been many new and groundbreaking introductions in some time, and that the market was ready for something different."
Jones notes that there are already many solid, speckled and wood- or stone-inspired products on the market. "We wanted to use the performance and technology capabilities of our company to create something new," she says. "We are the only domestic manufacturer producing heavy commercial heterogeneous sheet flooring, and we wanted to use this capability in a way to benefit our current and potential customers."
It was natural to call in HOK for the project, based on the firm's healthcare portfolio, but the team at Mannington also wanted to address broader needs in the healthcare market; that led to the addition of Pallas Textiles as a project partner. The task for the team at Pallas was to help develop patterns and provide a manufacturing source for cubicle curtains that would complement the to-be-developed flooring.
Donald Cremers, senior associate, interior design, HOK San Francisco led design development along with Natalie Banaszak, interior designer, HOK Chicago. "Our team looked extensively at healthcare trends and saw three evolving scenarios," says Cremers. "We noted a desire toward more luxurious spaces, environments that reflect a healthy lifestyle, and environments that are calming and restorative."
"Our work led us to produce a new direction in healthcare flooring by offering a solid pattern that serves as a soft background visual, which can then be layered with organic or geometric patterns," he adds.
The resulting Vivendi collection of flooring from Mannington Commercial features the company's patented Quantum Guard HP wear layer with an aluminum-oxide topcoat that is cured by an ultraviolet process. The sheets come in 6-, 9- and 12-foot widths to reduce waste during installation, and offer excellent durability and stain and slip resistance. The Vivendi collection is also fully recyclable at the end of its life.
Vivendi's patterns were partially developed by thinking of the product as a textile on the floor. The solid background, Woven, reflects this in a simple beauty. The large-scale organic, Perennial, is floral in nature, while the medium geometric, Blockprint, is just what the name implies. All three designs come in 14 colors. Customers may choose from wood-inspired tones of walnut, maple and cherry. Colors in the metal-inspired palette mimic more industrial architectural materials. Nature-inspired colors such as aloe, sandalwood and oat straw are also available.
Banaszak says the
collection's final colors were developed with help from professionals in the field. "We had ideas when Vivendi premiered at NeoCon last year, but the colors weren't finalized at that time. We used our time with designers and facility managers to ask them to review our color concepts, and to tell us what was missing in available products. This enabled us to finalize the colors based on their input. This research also showed us that many potential customers saw Vivendi as an option for retail, hospitality and
corporate installations as well."
Finding the right colors to complement the flooring was a big challenge, according to David White, vice president and general manager for Pallas Textiles. "There is a desire for more color in cubicle curtains, but it could not be too intense," he says. "We had to find a middle ground in terms of both color and patterns."
The resulting patterns found in the Valetudo
collection, which means "health and wellness" in Latin, were inspired by nature. Each design layers
pattern and color to create an appealing visual presence for both patients and visitors. Arbor is a sapling budding in the spring to convey a feeling of new life, Flora represents a sea of dandelions and Stratum was inspired by layers of the earth. As with Vivendi, each design comes in a range of colors. Valetudo is also manufactured from Trevira FR polyester, providing excellent durability and cleanability.
"It's very difficult to find flooring and privacy curtains that work together," says White. "The opportunity to be part of this collaboration was important and broadened the benefits that we can bring to the healthcare market."
White says that Valetudo has been one of the strongest cubicle curtain introductions that he has experienced, and Jones notes the same response with Vivendi. The accolades have also started arriving—the Vivendi collection won NeoCon Gold awards for best product design and healthcare flooring, as well as a Nightingale Award Honorable Mention—proving just what a little teamwork is capable of accomplishing.

Opinions about a few rigs
First I'm new here. Great site, spent hours last night reading some great posts. Background info: totally newbie to fly fishing. I'm usually chasing bass thru the slop.
I have been wanting to get a fly fishing rig for a while. So yesterday while I was cruising BPS for bass items :wink: I saw they had a couple combos on sale. I have searched this site best I can and have found little info on either.
I wanted a trout rod ( Bennett Springs State park ) that can be used for pan fish also. If that is a bad idea let me that too.
This is what I took home, $200 for both with case, line, leader , etc
This was the other $200 combo they had for sale.
cv2 combo
The 270 rod felt great.
My question is I can find little info on the 270 reel. The BPS reviews are very split. half say it is worthless, half say it great. People complain about the drag seizing up because it is not sealed. One selling point was the 270 supposedly had a better drag than the cv2. Being a bass guy that was always a big factor in my bass reels.
The CV2 reel has better reviews but I like the 270 rod a little better. Could live with either rod. Reels seem to be the deciding factor here.
Choices I have
1) fish what I bought, if it proves to be a bad reel I can always buy a reel down the road. The sale price was $150 off so I would not be taking to much a beating
2) return and get the cv2
3)Go to ReelFlyRod.com and maybe look into a rs4 or red2fly setup.
I don't mind spending more than a true beginner setup. I just like to buy once and be happy. I don't want to be working on a reel when I should b fishing !!!
Thanks in advance
Re: Opinions about a few rigs
IMO try it out...for a beginner fly rodder...it will work good enough to learn on....now if you like fly fishing it won't be your last purchase...you did not say what's your level of fly casting...I learned 50 years ago on a 7 foot south bend spinning rod
Re: Opinions about a few rigs
I have the 270 series rod and reel in a 4wt and love them, they cast really well for middle of the road priced rod and reel is solid! For the money I'm not sure there is a better set up out there. I guided on the san juan for 2.5 years and that was one of my loaner rods and reels. Several of my clients went out and bought that set up after having fished it.
Re: Opinions about a few rigs
I wouldn't worry too much about the reel. Its drag will likely only come into play when fighting a 2lb+ fish in moving water.
In fact, I'd say the item from that kit that most likley needs upgrading is the line. I used to work for BPS and those lines ain't the greatest.

YOUNG men from Blackburn Orphanage who lost their lives in the First World War will be remembered in a project as part of centenary commemorations.
Child Action Northwest has been granted £7,800 lottery grant to work with children at Salesbury School on a documentary DVD, which will involve the children taking a trip to the trench at the Museum of Lancashire, visiting Fulwood Barracks and studying the records of the orphans who grew up and went to war.
Along the way they will find out more about the ten old boys who lost their lives and plant trees in their honour with plaques to commemorate the war dead in a special memorial garden in the grounds of the original orphanage.
A film will be made of the project, which will be distributed on DVD and online.
Author, archivist and historian, Melanie Warren who recently published the story of Blackburn Orphanage, called James Dixon's Children, will be working with the children on the project. She said: "It's appropriate that we are working with Salesbury School as that's where the children from Blackburn Orphanage were pupils.
"I think this will be a great way for the children to learn about history.
"By creating a memorial garden we are sharing the stories with the wider community for generations to come so they will never be forgotten."

So The Chubby One Has a Huge Wang
And I'm not talking about Snooki. Zing!
Jersey Shore's Vinny Guadagnino – I know these kids' last names now. Goddammit. – is currently being courted by Playgirl to be the mold for their latest sex toy because apparently it's easier than just dipping a lighthouse statue in rubber. Hey, it worked for grandma, it should work for the rest of us. E! New reports:
Playgirl has apparently offered Vinny $30,000 to make a cast of his manhood so they can reproduce it as a sex toy.
Guess Snooki was on to something when she told us the other day that Vinny should "get a mold of his penis and sell it to everyone." For those not in the Jersey Shore know, Snooki has made no secret about how well-endowed she thinks Vinny is after they hooked up during the making of season two.
Wait. This guy banged Snooki? HA! Kill yourself.
But, seriously, I could make a scene here and say, "What's the big deal? I get offers like this. Every. Single. Day." But I'm not the type to make a mold of my penis for mass production and tell. It's uncouth. I won't be a part of it.

Is Kevin Smith Coming To Reality TV?
The critically polarizing writer/director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma) had recently announced his intentions to step away from film-making after the upcoming hockey comedy 'Hit Somebody'. Even though he is walking away from the big screen, he may end up on a smaller one in the coming months.
If you've ever watched a Kevin Smith movie you are well aware that his love of comic books and 'Star Wars' are no big secret. What you may not know is that Kevin has owned a comic book store called Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash in his hometown of Red Bank, New Jersey for years now. Smith is now putting into motions a reality series revolving around the store which he describes as "Pawn Stars for fanboys".
Worst Previews reports that the show is casting men and women between the ages of 21 and 35 from the tri-state area (of New Jersey) only. The participants must be available June 2nd,3rd, and the 14th-16th. The show is also looking for people with unique, rare and awesome comic book/movie memorabilia who are planning to sell, trade or value. To apply, send a picture and a short bio, including name, age, and phone number to firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are selected, you will be contacted to schedule a follow up interview.
Kevin's latest film 'Red State' is said to be a departure from his typical fare and is a horror film based around religious extremism a la the Westboro Baptist Church. In a much publicized move Smith bought his own distribution rights for $20 at Sundance and recently took the movie on a nationwide "one night only" tour which he coupled with a Q&A session afterward. 'Red State' will see a full theatrical release in October of this year. His next (and final) project will be the hockey comedy 'Hit Somebody' that (last I heard) will be shooting in Detroit at some point in the near future. Here is a video of Kevin talking about stepping away from films and his new passion project; Smodcast Internet Radio.

I was part of the pre-beta a couple of years ago (in Sweden). It was huge already back then, unfortunately once it went live they had to start taking artists and albums out of the catalog due to the record labels' old self-defeating rules and regulations. It's still a great product though and well worth trying out. Not an iTunes killer but a good complement.

Useful info from (c) Microsoft:
The Windows 10 Sleep is a power-saving state that allows a computer to quickly resume full-power operation (typically within several seconds) when you want to start working again. Putting your Win 10 computer into the sleep state is like pausing a DVD player: The windows 10 computer immediately stops what its doing and is ready to start again when you want to resume working.
The Windows-10 Hibernation is a power-saving state designed primarily for laptops. While sleep puts your work and settings in memory and draws a small amount of power, hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk, and then turns off your computer. Of all the power-saving states in Windows 10, hibernation uses the least amount of power. On a laptop, use windows 10 hibernation when you know that you wont use your Windows 10 laptop for an extended period and won't have an opportunity to charge the battery during that time.
Win 10 Hybrid sleep is designed primarily for desktop computers. Hybrid sleep is a combination of sleep and hibernate it puts any open documents and programs in memory and on your hard disk, and then puts your computer into a low-power state so that you can quickly resume your work. That way, if a power failure occurs, Windows 10 can restore your work from your hard disk. When Win 10 hybrid sleep is turned on, putting your Windows 10 computer into sleep automatically puts your computer into hybrid sleep. Windows-10 Hybrid sleep is typically turned on by default on desktop computers.

Janelle Adams, of Children's Aid Society's Hope Leadership Academy, Wins Charles Schwab Foundation Scholarship
Money Awarded for Successful Participation in Financial Literacy Curriculum
Ellen Lubell, The Children's Aid Society, (w) 212-949-4938, (c) 917-854-6864
Emily Crossan, The Children's Aid Society, (w) 917-286-1548, (c) 201-344-5742
NEW YORK, August 14, 2007 – Janelle Adams, 17, of The Children's Aid Society's Hope Leadership Academy Boys & Girls Club, has been awarded a $2,000 college scholarship from Charles Schwab Foundation. Janelle Adams receives her scholarship from Brian G. Connors, Vice President and Branch Manager, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Ms. Adams was selected because of her successful completion of the Money Matters: Make it Count program and the ways she is incorporating what she learned into her daily life and applying it to achieve short- and long-term goals.
Money Matters was created by Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) and Charles Schwab Foundation to promote financial literacy among teens from underserved communities.
"In a world becoming more financially complex, education about money management is vital to our nation's future," said Carrie Schwab Pomerantz, president of Charles Schwab Foundation. "Too many young people entering the workforce today don't have an adequate grasp of the most basic building blocks of personal finance to become financially independent, successful adults."
A recent survey* of teens conducted by Charles Schwab Foundation and BGCA reveals that while teens clearly know how to spend money, they have an uncertain grasp of the implications of their spending habits:
• Only about a third (34 percent) know how to balance a checkbook
• Fewer than half (41 percent) know how to budget money
• More than a quarter (29 percent) have accumulated debt, owing money to a person or company
• Of those teens who owe money, 41 percent are concerned about paying it back
"Through the Money Matters program and these scholarships, we are aiming to help today's teens become financially fit adults who can help reverse the course of poor saving and debt management habits in the United States," said Schwab Pomerantz. "In fact, we've already seen that the program is working; teens who experience Money Matters demonstrate increased awareness and understanding of the importance of making good financial choices."
Ms. Adams, who is one of 10 teens to receive this scholarship from Charles Schwab Foundation, says "Money Matters taught me how to handle the money I have, and how to plan for the future."
"Since implementing the Money Matters program, our Club members are becoming skilled in a number of areas including creating a budget, using a checking account, saving for college and the basics of managing debt," said William Weisberg, Associate Executive Director of The Children's Aid Society. "We are pleased they are learning how to handle their money responsibly and to see that this program can positively change financial knowledge and behavior."
The Money Matters program is available to all teen Clubs and helps members learn the basics of money management, including budgeting, wise use of credit, saving, and investing. Resources include a Teen Personal Finance Guide and the Money Matters Web site – a secure site for teens. Money Matters also features the Schwab Employee Volunteer Program, which encourages Schwab employees to share their financial expertise with teen Club members and their families.
To date, approximately 884 Boys & Girls Club locations nationwide have adopted Money Matters, and nearly 70,000 teens have completed the program.

It is one of the nation's largest and most innovative non-sectarian agencies, serving more than 150,000 of New York's neediest children and their families with a network of services that includes community schools, neighborhood centers, camps, adoption and foster care services, teen pregnancy prevention, education, health and recreation.

* The 2007 Teens & Money survey was conducted by StrategyOne, an applied research consulting firm, on behalf of Schwab and Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

The survey, which has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 at the 95 percent confidence level, was conducted using the field services of Harris Interactive.

I'd like to think that reading this column is about learning — for both me and my readers. And so, with that in mind, let's look at how things developed on the Arkansas River last week. It's a good lesson in time management and tournament strategy.
The locks played a big role in the tournament. Some of the guys — include me in that group — had weight deducted from their totals because they were late. Others lost all their weight. It was tough all the way around. In truth, though, the weight I lost wouldn't have made any difference.
The problems weren't caused by our inexperience or because we don't know what we're doing. We all have locking experience, and we can all tell time. It was the scheduling. The locks weren't operating the way we thought they would. Whose fault that was, and how it developed, is up for discussion. Nevertheless it happened.
The bottom line is that you take a chance when you lock and you're fishing against the clock. It's really pretty simple. We all know the rules. Schedules can change. Nothing on our nation's river systems is set in stone. Commercial traffic (barges) is always given priority. Locking through in a tournament is always a gamble. It's never been a sure thing.
That's something you should keep in mind if you're fishing a tournament and considering locking to get to your spot. You're taking a chance. No matter how much planning you do, things can go wrong. When they do, you'll pay a price.
Beyond all that, my tournament was pretty ordinary. I didn't have a real good pattern, nothing I could count on, anyway. It was junk fishing all day, every day. I threw anything that I thought they would bite. About all I can say is that I earned a check.
I'm fairly happy with that. I know I talk all the time about having two or three patterns, but sometimes it's just not possible. No matter how hard you try, you can't develop them. That's when we like to say we're just going fishing. Sometimes that's a ruse, but sometimes it isn't. This was one those times.
Today (Monday) I'll be practicing on Wheeler. I'm looking forward to that. It's a fine lake and I think the conditions will favor my style of fishing. It's no secret that I like my back to the shore.
After a short break, I'll head towards the Northern Opens. I can't wait to get on the James River and Lake Erie. They're in my neighborhood. That makes things really nice. I'm especially excited to be able to fish close to Becky's family. It's good to see them and it'll be nice for her, too. She'll have help with Vegas.
That's something she doesn't always have while we're traveling. I'm out fishing and she's left to take care of everything else. I appreciate that more than she knows.
I'd like to think that reading this column is about learning — for both me and my readers. And so, with that in mind, let's look at how things developed on the Arkansas River last week. It's a good lesson in time management and tournament strategy.

I was born in New York City, and grew up in South Florida, where I spent many happy hours observing, catching and studying the insects, fish and especially reptiles that abounded in the area. I moved to London in 1976, where I continued my education and became a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and director of the MA program in psychotherapy and counseling at Regents College.I eventually became skeptical of the field of psychotherapy in general, and turned to philosophy to gain conceptual clarity. I earned a Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of London (Kings College) where I did work on the philosophy of mind and philosophy of psychology. These studies introduced me to the significance of evolutionary biology for understanding human nature, enabling me to come full circle by fusing my interest in the human mind with my earlier love of the natural world.
In 2000 I moved from the United Kingdom with my wife Subrena to take up a position at the University of New England, a private liberal arts college in southern Maine, where I am associate professor of philosophy. I teach a range of courses on philosophy of biology, ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of psychology and the history of philosophy.
I am the co-founder and director of the New England Institute for Cognitive Science and Evolutionary Studies. The New England Institute was established in 2001 to explore the interface between evolutionary biology and human nature. It hosts an lively program of public lectures, including the annual William D. Hamilton Memorial Lecture.
