Raise your hands and play a Samsung game at the movietheater
Samsung is promoting its new Galaxy S III on the big screen. First there's an advertising clip promoting how the phone can make moviegoing more social by using the S Beam sharing technology. Moments later, the audience can take part in a two-minute game that's based on the motion sensor technology.
This game, part of NCM Media Networks' FirstLook preshow, is shown before select movies -- I went to check out Ice Age: Continental Drift at Citrus Park. If you've been to Disney's Epcot and waited in line for the Soar ride, it's something similar. The Samsung game uses audience feedback to move the direction of a phone left or right. The goal is to touch as many phones flying toward you.
The 3-D game -- also in 2-D -- will run through the end of August. So get to the showing early enough to catch the preshow, raise your hands, and have fun.

How does your cancer grow?
Australian researchers have determined the three dimensional structure of an important protein detected on cancer cells, paving the way for the development of new drugs to treat cancer.
The protein the epidermal growth factor receptor was first discovered 20 years ago. Ever since, laboratories all over the world have tried to understand how it works. In 1997, a group of Melbourne scientists joined forces to also tackle the problem. Now their efforts have paid off, with a discovery that is challenging the current view of cell signalling.
"We've discovered how the receptor recognises the protein and transmits the signal to cancer cells to grow," said Professor Tony Burgess at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research. "If we can turn this off, the cells will stop growing."
Professor Burgess's colleagues include scientists at CSIRO Health Sciences and Nutrition and The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research. All are members of the Collaborative Research Centre for Cellular Growth Factors, and their findings are published in the current issue of the international journal Cell.
The EGF receptor works like a 'lock and key' system, where the protein must fit the receptor exactly. But it is the second step of this process the 'turning of the key' the researchers are trying to halt.
"We want to stop the lock turning," explained Professor Burgess.
This means developing a new class of anti-cancer drugs based on rational drug design, to act as inhibitors.
In contrast, most current drugs to treat cancer have been developed on a wing and a prayer. "You take a poison and hope it will kill the cancer before it kills the patient," said Professor Burgess.
Late stage cancer patients stand to benefit initially . "Every late stage brain tumour has some EGF receptors on the surface," said Professor Burgess. "So we think they might be very good targets for our drugs."
A soluble form of the binding drug has been developed and is on schedule to be trialled in patients in 2004.
In the meantime, the researchers are using a computer to search big chemical libraries for structures that will bind to the EGF receptor. Once they find these, they will test them in animals. "We're only two to three years away from helping patients," predicted Professor Burgess.

NEW YORK (Nov. 4)
Spring of 1987 is the target date for the opening of the museum and memorial to the Holocaust to be housed in the unused 77-year-old United States Customs Building in lower Manhattan, according to David Blumenfeld, the executive director of the New York City Holocaust Commission.
Blumenfeld cautioned, however, that the projected date remains tentative because the federal government will be renovating the exterior of the structure, constructed in 1907. The museum and memorial center will use the lower two floors and the basement, while the top five floors will be leased by the General Services Administration (GSA), which owns the building.
The GSA regional administrator, William Diamond, announced last month that the government decided in favor of leasing the building to the Holocaust Commission which was vying for the Beaux-Arts landmark with a consortium of arts organizations that wanted to use the building as a cultural center.
The announcement by Diamond, however, caused some confusion as to the themes the museum will emphasize. Blumenfeld asserted that Diamond was misinformed when he asserted that the museum, in addition to focusing on the Holocaust, would include a history of Jews in the diaspora.
In an interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Blumenfeld emphasized that the museum will seek to focus on three interrelated themes: Jewish civilization in Europe, the Holocaust and its aftermath, and Jewish immigration to New York. Furthermore, the museum will contain research facilities, an auditorium for performances, and a chapel and meditation room.
The announcement by the GSA ended a six-month competition between the two groups — the Holocaust Commission and the arts consortium — for the building. Diamond said the Commission was selected because "its proposal was the strongest and the best deal for the government based upon the amount of money offered."
Renovation and restoration efforts are expected to begin immediately on the seven-story structure. Possible tenants for the top five floors, about 160,000 square feet consisting of office space, include part of the National Archives or the Bankruptcy court. The museum will lease about 80,000 square feet.
The Commission will sign a 20-year renewable lease which has not yet been finalized. Monthly rent has not been determined. Some $5 million is expected to cover the renovation costs for the interior of the building with an additional $10 million projected to cover the costs of getting the museum ready for opening. Most of these funds will come from private sources and major gifts, Blumenfeld said. He said there will be regular fund-raising efforts in the future.
According to Blumenfeld, the museum will incorporate hands-on delivery systems such as video consoles, computer data banks and viewers to provide visitors with participatory learning experiences. The education center will house a comprehensive library for basic information and scholarly research.
A special archive will open for deposit of memorabilia, original and microfilm documents and personal collections, according to Blumenfeld, including written and oral testimony from Holocaust survivors in the New York area.
Special priorities will be planned for outreach efforts to encourage school visits to the museum, including classes from New York's public, private and religious schools. There is expected to be outreach to synagogues, churches, and community centers to help them create courses on Jewish cultural life, Holocaust studies and modes of commemoration.
Additional outreach activities of the museum and memorial center will include, among other things, promoting scholarly research and the publication of new findings, publishing a journal, establishing a lecture bureau, and alerting the public to the dangers of neo-Nazi and anti-Semitic literature.
George Klein, who serves as co-chairman of the Holocaust Commission, hailed the GSA decision, noting that "this happy accomplishment called for a great amount of faith, persistence and dedication on the part of many devoted people. We are grateful to all of them." Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau serves with Klein as co-chairman.
Critics of the GSA decision suggested that the Customs building was too "lavish" and would thus take away from the solemnity of a museum commemorating the Holocaust. The building's primary space is a huge rotunda near the entrance. There is also one statue of Queen Isabella of Spain who banished the nation's Jews in 1492.
The statue of the Queen would fit right into the building, according to Blumenfeld, who said she was a person "who manifested anti-Semitic behavior." He added: "The building itself is majestic; it smacks of tradition."

New York Jets 2014-15 Schedule: Rex Ryan coaching for his job again, brutal starting slate could cripple Gang Green season [VIDEO]
on Apr 24, 2014 10:47 AM EDT
The New York Jets shocked the world with their 8-8 record in 2013, and because of their success, they saved their head coach Rex Ryan from being fired. With the reveal of the NFL schedule Wednesday, the Jets have to be discouraged that they can match that 8-8 record in 2014.
Sports World News NFL Mock Draft 6.0
View The Full NFL 2014 Schedule
Rex Ryan is most likely coaching for his job again considering how his contract "extension" allows for him to be fired at any given moment, but the Jets' schedule could be the end of him. The Jets start with the Raiders in a game they should win, but then have to play the gauntlet from week two to week seven when they trade punches with the Packers, Bears, Lions, Chargers, Broncos and Patriots.
The Jets could come out of that series of games at 1-7 or 2-6 if those teams play the way they are suppose to in 2014. The schedule pumps the breaks a little after the Patriots game, but by that time and staring at a potential 2-6 record, will the Jets have the will to keep playing?
Colts Have Inside Track To Super Bowl With Amazing Schedule
The Jets have a defense that can contend with most offenses, but with the glaring holes in the secondary, will they be able to keep up with the pass happy offenses of the NFL? Looking at that tough stretch of games, the Jets have to stop Aaron Rodgers, Jay Cutler, Matt Stafford, Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. By no means is this an easy task, even for the master of defense, Rex Ryan.
The Jets have an excellent opportunity to flex their defensive muscle early and often, but if they can't show the same grit they showed in 2013 in 2014, they could be in for a long long season and Rex Ryan will likely be out.

About the Club
Liverpool Croquet Club was set up to provide facilities for playing the game, and a competitive and social environment for players of all ages and abilities.
The club is located in Sefton Park, at the Mersey Bowmen Tennis Club, near Lark Lane and Livingstone Drive North - click here for interactive map of how to find us.
The club is a member of both the Croquet Association and the North West Federation of Croquet Clubs. The Federation now has 20 member clubs, and it organises leagues throughout the region, from North Wales up to Cumbria. Leagues cater for all standards, from beginner to expert.
We currently have two full-sized lawns, renovated from what used to be championship grass tennis courts. There is room for at least another two lawns, and work is underway to bring those into use.
Alongside the lawns are the tennis courts of the Mersey Bowmen. The club was founded in 1781 for archery, and was one of the first clubs to adopt the new game of tennis in 1872. After Edgbaston Archery and Lawn Tennis Society, the Bowmen is the second oldest surviving tennis club in the world. As a sports club, the Mersey Bowmen predates almost everyone, including the Marylebone Cricket Club, Wimbledon and the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Clubs.
The Bowmen's clubhouse dates from the construction of Sefton Park, and is almost certainly the world's first purpose built tennis clubhouse. Croquet shares the facilities with tennis, and Sport England have recognised the need to upgrade our facilities; the building has just been gutted and renovated to suit our 21st century needs. Between the two sports, we now have a programme of social and sporting events throughout the year.

CLAREMONT >> Claremont Unified School District board members Mary Caenepeel, first elected in 2005, and Jeff Stark, who came aboard in 2009, made their last official actions Thursday night.
Caenepeel, the board president, and Stark, a former president, both said they would miss their positions after their final regular board meeting in the district offices. Both did not submit re-election papers for the November election for personal reasons.
"It's kind of bittersweet," said Caenepeel, while she ate a piece of cake presented earlier to honor the board members leaving. "There's a lot I'll miss. I'll absolutely miss the people. But I'm very glad to have time to play with my grandchildren."
Stark said he would also miss the people with whom he worked.
"There's a lot I'm going to miss," Stark said. "I'm going to miss the people that I've worked with for the last four years. And I'm really, really going to miss going to our schools and seeing great teachers do great work with our kids. As a non-teacher, that's the first time I've ever experienced that where I'm at a school and watching a teacher teach a class. Normally, you go to parent-teacher conferences but to actually see teachers in action is a fabulous thing to watch."
Former board president Beth Bingham, who ended her term in 2011, described working closely with both Caenepeel and Stark.
"Mary has always been the voice of the children who are not heard," Bingham said. "And that is a voice I hope the rest of the board will continue to listen to. It's those children in the district that are so easy to overlook. Jeff put in hours of hard work and worry in ways and issues that will never ever be able to be talked about or known, both in dealing with some of the most sensitive personnel issues and financial issues. He was the one on the other end of the phone when desperate employees called him for advice, for solace, for consolation."
Claremont Unified Superintendent James Elsasser, who has been at the district for 17 months, said before the meeting the two board members had shown exemplary leadership.
"Something else that comes to mind is they've served on the board during the biggest fiscal crisis the state has experienced in many years," Elsasser said. "Their leadership was key in ensuring our district remains fiscally solvent when so many other districts were struggling to meet their financial obligations. I think they'll be greatly missed. They were instrumental in helping create a smooth transition for me as their new superintendent. I would say I have enjoyed working with professionally and also consider them friends."
Caenepeel and Stark said they weren't planning on running again but wouldn't shut the door on it.
"Not tonight," was her response when asked if she would come back. "I don't usually close the door absolutely on too many things. Who knows? But not tonight. I have to wait at least two years."
When asked if he would run again, Stark said, "not right now. I'm really just concentrating on my (investment advisory) business, and it takes a lot of my time right now."

Recently an old friend of mine made a post on Facebook about how deeply he disliked the music of a new and somewhat well-known underground band. Being a fan, I commented back asking him if he had ever sat down and listened to this group's music. He wrote back "...of course not, I just watched one of their videos on YouTube." When you watch music videos in our distracting web 2.0 world, how often do the tunes really sink in?

In my opinion you really can't go wrong with Brussels Sprouts for Thanksgiving. We've made them every which way – sautéed, roasted, tossed with hazelnuts, and pan fried. In this recipe ,the Brussels are actually raw, which turned out to be delicious tossed with the tangy walnut vinaigrette. This is a perfect lighter dish for your Thanksgiving or holiday spread (you need a few of those to balance things out, right). But I promise you are not compromising in flavor with this one! When we made this dish, it was quickly gobbled up, no leftovers in sight!
The most important thing with Brussels Sprouts is what you flavor them with. In this recipe, we shopped around at Liberty Heights Fresh for the perfect accompaniments. We chose a full flavored walnut dijon mustard (of course you can use regular dijon as well), a pure maple syrup by Mead and Mead's, some crunchy walnuts, a spicy red onion, and a handful of chives. Everything combined perfectly to well season the shredded raw Brussels!
While this recipe isn't difficult, to say the least, it does take a little time. My recommendation – enjoy the simple task of chopping the brussels. I'm currently in the middle of Michael Pollen's book, Cooked, and he mentions, "When chopping onions, just chop onions." So in nod to Mr. Pollen, When chopping Brussels, just chop Brussels! I hope over the holidays the time spent preparing food can be therapeutic and meaningful, taking in the quiet moments or digging in deep with those cooking around you. Don't rush it. Just chop. Enjoy.
For is there any practice less selfish, any labor less alienated, any time less wasted, than preparing something delicious and nourishing for people you love? – Michael Pollen, Cooked
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- ¼ cup walnuts, toasted
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup

- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, shaved
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
Prepare vinaigrette by wishing together al ingredients. Set aside.
Combine shaved sprouts and red onion in a large salad bowl. Toss with dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Matthew Brzezinski recently published his fourth book, Isaac's Army, a nonfiction narrative set in the Holocaust that was named a Finalist for the 2012 National Jewish Book Awards. This talk will discuss the myth of passivity during the Holocaust by showing that resistance was far more widespread than is generally acknowledged. He will talk about the different forms that resistance took, and how extraordinarily difficult it was for Jews to resist in an organized manner as compared to other groups in occupied Europe. He will also address how in some cases, not resisting was the ultimate act of courage.

Computer engineers create the physical components of information systems, which range from chips and circuits to servers and supercomputers. To enter their profession, computer engineers need at least a bachelor's degree in computer engineering, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, although an electrical engineering major is also acceptable. The reward for four years of college effort is a six-figure salary.
Computer engineers made $103,980 per year as of May 2012, according to the BLS. The lowest earners received less than $63,970. The highest-paid professionals made more than $150,130. Computer engineers made more than the average $90,960 that engineers in all specialties earned. In fact, only specialists in petroleum, aerospace and nuclear science collected higher wages than those in computers.
Regional Comparisons
Michigan showed the highest annual wages for computer engineers, averaging $116,380, followed by California at $114,560. The states with the lowest average yearly pay for computer engineers were Idaho at $74,400 and Oklahoma at $74,870. The pay difference is based on the top state industries that demand high-tech workers, such as Michigan's auto industry and California's Silicon Valley. The U.S. Department of Energy notes that Oklahoma's leading industries are petroleum, coal products, machinery and food. The department also says that Idaho's economy focuses on food processing, mining, and pulp and paper. None of those industries require large numbers of computer engineers.
The level of education determines the salaries of computer engineers, according to a report by Georgetown University.. As of May 2011, undergraduate degrees in computer engineering produced median annual salaries of $62,000, with the 25th percentile making $55,000 and the 75th percentile receiving $100,000. Earning a graduate degree increased pay by 16 percent, which pushed median earnings to $71,920, with a percentile range of $63,800 to $116,000. Gender also played a role in wages. Nearly 81 percent of all computer engineering majors were male and they earned a median $80,000. Female undergraduates received about 16 percent less, at a median $67,000.
Career Outlook
The BLS predicts a job increase of 9 percent for computer engineers from 2010 to 2020. This amount is less than both the 11 percent growth projected for all engineering jobs and the 14 percent increase expected for all occupations in all industries. Demand will come from the advanced computer technology that continues to permeate daily life. However, outsourcing of computer manufacturing to foreign industries will reduce jobs.

I'm Maria Walker and I'm just about to start my final year of a 3 year Learning Disabilities Nursing Degree at the University of Hertfordshire. I met Michelle Daly via social media early on in my course after reading her book 'With a Little Help From My Friends'. Michelle for me is the original 'warrior mum' and throughout my studies she has introduced me to many other 'warrior mums', all incredible women fighting for their children. Michelle is not only a friend, but she and all her warrior mums are also teachers, sharing their stories of life as part of special needs families and shining light on the discrepancies between what some parents take for granted and others have daily struggles to achieve.
"My children have taught me to be strong, to stand up for them and for myself. I am not the expert on their autism, they are but I am their advocate, their voice and their guide and will continue to be as long as they need me to."
I met Pat when I was 19 he was 21 and we fell in love straight away. We were inseparable and moved in together not long after. Hollie was born 2 weeks before my 21st birthday and we adored her. She was a very unsettled baby and I developed post natal depression. After a lot of counselling and a lot of support from my partner, a year later I was much stronger and we married with Hollie as our Bridesmaid.
Josie followed her sister through the same schools and gathered diagnoses as she went! First Dyspraxia, then a Speech and Language Disorder and Aspergers and ADHD when she was 8. The following year she was also diagnosed with Dyslexia and Irlen Syndrome (scoptic sensitivity).
I had to give up my post as Community Champion (Talk about Autism) as most of my time was used up fighting the LA but I hope to go back to it when Jack is as settled as his sisters are.
|Jack's 3rd birthday with, Josie and Hollie
M. Even though you were quite knowledgeable about autism and wise to the system, it must have been daunting having to take on 'The system' again?
|Claire, Jack and Rocky the dog
Both my daughters have turned out to be quite the activists for autism.
|Claire with Hollie
|Sisters, Emma, Claire and Maria
M. And YOU have achieved so much too. What a wonderful role model you've been for your children.
My husband often says 'There's never a dull moment living with our family, but I'm pretty sure that is a good thing!!!
My children have taught me to be strong, to stand up for them and for myself. I am not the expert on their autism, they are but I am their advocate, their voice and their guide and will continue to be as long as they need me to.
M. Claire, thank you so much for sharing your story. It's been quite an education.
Thank you for stopping by. We'd love you to leave a comment to encourage further discussion.

So ... instead I am baking chocolate chip cookies. They are in the oven as I type. Don't you hate when you are just short of an ingredient? I didn't quite have enough vanilla, so I topped off my teaspoon with almond extract (it was probably about 1/4 teaspoon, maybe less) and the result is a magically delicious cookie. It might permanently change my recipe.
Also, I can no longer see my feet if I'm standing straight. Three more weeks!

Yes, I too have done the almond thing and it is far from a mistake!! I normally use my almond extract for making biscotti but tried it with cookies and delish! I like your yellow "Homemade by Jill". It is a cheery change. Sorry, the stripes were just too much for me. Enjoy naptime. Number one rule to parenting: Never wake a sleeping baby!!!

I liked the stripes :P
I made cookies today as well, but I had enough vanilla... I'm gonna try with the almond extract next time for sure.
And I too can't see my feet anymore... It's probably better that way as they started swelling from water retention!

sounds yummy! I think I'll try that next time! I can't believe it takes you until you're three weeks away from delivering until you can't see your feet! I stop seeing mine about 3 months in! :) Best of luck with your delivery!

Hi, I haven't commented on here yet, though I've been reading for a few months now. So why start commenting now? I couldn't resist telling you that I no longer can see my feet either (I have 2 1/2 weeks left!) and it resulted in an unhappy mistake. I thought I looked so cute last night running errands--I was wearing my fairly slenderizing black tank dress with a green tank under it and my matching green earrings and my matching green old navy flip flops. It wasn't until this morning that I looked across my bedroom and saw my grey flip flops sitting there. "How did those get out? I didn't get them out! Oh no." Yes, I was looking for my shoes in very dim lighting before leaving and saw the little "old navy" printed on the shoes, so I believed they were the ones I was looking for. Since I never, at any point, saw my feet last night, I had no idea until this morning that my shoes didn't match. :(
Love your blog! Thanks for letting me tell my long story.:)

How do I save pictures that were sent to me in a text message on an Optimus V?
Go to your text messages and select the message that contains the image you want to save. Now "Long Press" on the message with the picture… not the message thread and not on the picture itself. A Message options menu will appear, the second option is "Save picture."
Hope this helps.

Generic Name:Sildenafil Citrate.
Brand Names:Kamagra.
Where to buy Kamagra Oral Jelly online?
Kamagra Jelly is a highly popular erectile dysfunction pill used for treating erectile dysfunction in men. It is manufactured by Ajanta Pharmaceuticals and contains the primary ingredient Sildenafil which is also the active component in Viagra. This form of Kamagra come in jelly formulation and has various flavors. Strawberry, mint, banana, chocolate, mint, mango, orange, vanilla and pineapple are a few among them. This erectile dysfunction medication is in a partial liquid state and this is the reason why it gets dissolved into the blood stream when placed under the tongue very quickly compared to other Erectile Dysfunction medications.
Benefits of using Kamagra Jelly
Dosage and administration
Kamagra jelly is available in three different dosage strengths and they are 25 mg, 50 mg as well as 100 mg. The severity of erectile dysfunction, age and tolerance of a man would determine the dosage strength of a man.
On Average, a doctor would prescribe Kamagra to a person in the dosage strength of 50 mg. older men would be is instructed to take only the lesser dose that is 25 mg.
Very few men would be instructed to take 100 mg Kamagra sachets, which are the highest dose, in situations where they wouldn't find 50 mg to be effective on their erectile dysfunction condition.
Starting the course of therapy with kamagra jelly medication after consulting a health care professional is wiser than choosing the dosage strength on your own. Only one pill should be taken in a day and it should be taken at least 30 minutes or 1 hour prior to a sexual activity.
Side effects
The common side effects of Kamagra oral jelly include headache, flushing, changes in vision, dizziness, running nose and body ache. Some rare and serious side effects include heart attack like symptoms, seizure, loss of vision, temporary color blindness where subject cannot differentiate between blue and green, urinary tract infection and others.
Common allergic reactions include rashes, hives, facial swelling, trouble in breathing and itching. If erection persists for more than four hours, it is important to get immediate medical help to avoid any permanent damage. It is not possible to explain all side effects of Sildenafil. Thus, if you have any major health condition, it is better to talk to a doctor, before you start using Kamagra Jelly.
Precautionary advice on the medication

Mmmm...Shalimar. Smoky and mysterious vanilla. I suspect that a few "modern" fragrances drew inspiration from this classic...
Bulgari Black
Gucci EDP
etc, etc

So next Sunday, please post your impressions, opinions and stories, whatever the SSD and Shalimar inspire you to write!

OK will get the Shalimar out for the day. I actually voted for Habanita,but no worries I do love Shalimar.
GREAT! I love Shalimar and it's perfect for the Holiday Season.
Donna, I voted for Coco (I'm working on Sunday) but I'm always ready to wear Shalimar! I just hope my workmates won't mind. ;D
"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
Donna, I love Habanita as well! I couldnt say which I love more, Shalimar or Habanita? Or Eau de Cartier or Coco or Opium? It depends on the mood and the day. I love all of them equally............
This came just in time as only in the past month or so....I've fallen for the pure parfum...it totally changed my mind about wearing Shalimar. Always loved it on others...loved the memory on my mother...just couldn't understand why the edt didn't smell the same...Now...I know...Give me the parfum and the body cream and I'm a happy camper.
I'll be there with my (vintage) bottle of Shalimar! This was a tough one.
"Too much of a good thing is wonderful." -- Mae West
I'll join you too! I love Shalimar in all it's forms, but will probably wear the vintage parfum over a tad of body cream.
Here we go!
Sprayed Shalimar already last night after sauna so I woke up smelling the final drydown of it, that famous "whispering about irises" stage, what a wonderful way to start a day! Added only a tiny spritz since I'm off to the office soon.
Enjoy Shalimar Synchronization Day!
"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
Shalimar day has arrived. Had a bit of a panic yesterday as I thought I had put something else on!LOL Then I realized it was today!
I decided to do something different with Shalimar,I have a bottle of the edp in splash which I normally dislike decant into a spray. But today I got out the bottle and dabbed. This Shalimar is about 10 years old kept in a satin lined box out of the light. It was a prize I won on an evening with Roja Dove so treasure it.
I have not worn Shalimar for quite a while now,she has not been calling to me,perhaps she is sulking. So this was a true rediscovery for me. There is something magical in the first hit of top notes of Shalimar,sorry the newer revamped bottle just does not have it. The smooth bottle has a soft lemon feel,which is not Shalimar to me. Yes it has the lemon but more rosewood giving a woody feel. The dry down has the famous playdoe smell,heliotrope to me strangely almond like amongst all that balsam,opopanax and civet. Yes there is the vanilla which she is also famous for,but not sweet sugary vanilla
more carmel like even a little burnt which gives edge. Shalimar has a unusual quality which prickles on the nose. I was thinking of what it was and the word prickles is what suddenly came to me.
Shalimar sensual,sexy and lush.
Hangs head and admits I should wear Shalimar more and yes I should have voted you First!
Wearing Shalimar again ( 5 days in a row.. only exception was yesterday ) I simply cannot help to wonder why it took me so long to find this treasure. It simply melts into the skin.. lingering.. warm, strong, seductive, and yet sublte. Somehow I think my skin must have been missing sth, as it seems to drink the drops greedily when I apply them.... as if it just can«t get enough
One of the reasons it took me so long to get it, was that I had only tried the EdT and EdP spray bottles.. and sth in the top notes really put me of.. it was a flat, metallic, cold note... I couldn«t believe it was the same scent I had all the raves about. Until I tried the parfum.. at first it exploded on my skin.. vanilla.. ..rose..wood..and after a few minutes it had this warm, close to the skin.."watch out.. I«m armed and dangerous" - feeling. I get the civet deep down.. but not enough to make it unpleasant.. just enough to make it real.
So.. another "Shalimar-victim here".. and I love it.
Happy new year to all of you
Many thanks, Donna and Lille My! Loved to read your Shalimar pieces. :-*
I'm wearing the mere EdT and couldn't bathe in it or layer with the b&b stuff (like I do in the privacy of my own home ;D) because I'm at the office today. Still I can get a whiff every now and then, especially when I warm up when drinking a cup of tea and it's dreamy. But I simply must get my paws on the parfum!!!
I know I've sent this link before but I just love it!
"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
tigs.. thank you very much for the link.. I understand why you love it. I makes me even more grateful, that I too.. finally found Shalimar :-*
Wearing Shalimar today also, edt over parfum. I love all Shalimar versions, even the often maligned edt -- those Bergamot, hesperdes notes are like an aromatherapy boost to me. I don't find them flat, cold or metallic at all but like a burst of sunshine. My sister only wears Shalimar and only likes the edt or cologne versions because she prefers their top notes. She thinks the edp and parfum are too heavy, so to each their own. I'm happy they have different versions to enjoy!
This is perfect because I really enjoy Shalimar parfum!
I no longer own Shalimar. I gave up buying it several years ago, the last bottle smelling too much of alcohol and just too chemical in general (perhaps that's the "metallic" note I hear about). It was not the Shalimar "of old", not the Shalimar I remembered. Even though my Guerlain preference was always Chamade rather than Shalimar, every time I smelled Shalimar on someone, I would purchase a bottle, or, if I still had one on hand at the time, I would get it out and wear it. I don't believe I ever finished off a bottle of Shalimar, however. Back then I had a nasty habit (a habit that makes me shudder today) of throwing away perfumes I hadn't worn in awhile, or that I just didn't like. The last bottle of Shalimar I had was actually a gift from my husband, who had sniffed it at the Guerlain counter and thought it was sexy. I was pretty upset by this "gift" because just the year before I had purchased a gift set for myself and ended up sending it to my niece. But, it was a gift from my husband, so I sprayed some on and when I applied it, even he thought it was horrible and not at all like what he had smelled at the Guerlain counter. So I sent that bottle to my sister, who reported back to me that it burned her skin, reddened her arms and even blistered a small area. Wow. So I was done with Shalimar forever. Until today...
Today I am wearing Shalimar pure parfum, courtesy of Glorious1. This is beautiful stuff. There's nothing chemical about it, and no alcohol fumes burning my nose or my eyes. I asked my son's opinion and he doesn't like it -- he said it smells "old and musty." I asked him if he meant "powdery" and he said it was definitely powdery but it just smelled old and musty to him. I asked Mr. Ladylonestar's opinion and he said he thinks it's "a little on the sweet side, powdery, and very familiar." "What about sexy?" I asked. "Yep. That, too," he said, shoving me out of the way to get out to his car and on to Home Depot. Eau de Home Depot... now there's a scent that would turn that man on.
Thanks, Tig, for organizing SSDII for us! And thanks, O Glorious One, for the pure parfum Shalimar -- a definite "must have" for 2005. I hope everyone is enjoying their Shalimar today -- I'm thoroughly enjoying reading everyone's opinions and impressions! :-*
Ah, vintage Shalimar EDC it is. I despise the current version and will not wear it because it smells blatantly of chemicals and has lost its gentleness and subtlety.
I must try the parfum if I can find it in the vintage. Mr. Blue is oblivious today to anything other than football. I'm doing my best to perfect my shape as to looking like one, now if I could just smell like one

Thanks for your posts HTR, Hound, Lady L and Blue!
Shalimar is quite new to me: three years ago I went to Stockholm and had decided to buy a Classic at the tax free parfumerie. I ended up testing Chanel no 5 and Shalimar.
The funniest thing was that I had disliked Shalimar for years, a friend wore it, mother's workmate wore it, I recognized it instantly whenever I smelled it somewhere and sneered.
On the boat it was on special offer so I thought "I've never actually tried it on my skin so it's about time!"
I preferred it to #5 but asked also SA's opinion. She didn't recognize Shalimar and when I told her what it was she sniffed again and said that it was much softer on me than on most people. Well, remembering how Shalimar smelled on all those other women I had to agree... ;D
I got my Shalimar and it has been one of my favourites ever since. Mr Tigs was instantly smitten with it! And when I wore it first time publicly, I noticed several sheepish-looking men hovering around me at the Academic Bookstore. Maybe they heard those whispering irises...
"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
Well........a recent convert here....I had given my Shalimar away. Never could wear the stuff. In my mind I remembered the way it smelled on my Mom. Beautiful, refined, like NO other. I just thought she wore it beautifully and it wasn't for this "spice queen". Well...that was until I actually bought (at Scentiments) a little purse spray of the "real deal". I tried on just a dab and it overtook me it was so strong...I brought it back and they gladly took it. That was it for me....
Then.....I saw a really good deal on ebay one evening with my mouse and a glass of wine....I decided for $19.99 (the real parfum in the purse spray) I should certainly have it for my collection. Well........that was it! I was smitten from then on.
I must say today I think I got a little carried away knowing the rest of you were keeping me company....put on one little tiny spray too much but am still enjoying it. The PARFUM is the only way to go. LOVE the body cream also.
I also wore Shalimar today: vintage EdC. I wore a bit last night to bed so I could enjoy the drydown this morning, then reapplied after my morning shower.
Even though Guerlain's publicity promotes Shalimar as the most feminine of scents, I don't feel 'girly' wearing it. When I wear it, I only wear a tiny spritz, and it blends with my skin so that I only notice shy little whispers of amber and sandalwood. IMO, with Shalimar, "less is more".
I noticed (when I was trying to find my 'most worn' scents yesterday by searching my SOTD posts) that I almost never post Shalimar as my SOTD, but it's actually one of my most-worn scents. I almost always save it for evenings at home, after I'm home from work and have taken a shower. Today was one of the few days I've actually worn it all day, while I was out shopping and visiting the Taft Museum. And my conclusion: I really need to wear it more often.
Thank You, Tig, for organizing SSDII!
Many thanks for your posts, Glo and Mark!
And thanks, everyone for participating in SSD II!
Perhaps we'll have SSD III sometime in the spring...
"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
Tig, I had to work today (actually, yesterday) also, and I only did 2 light spritzes of my edp sample. While I enjoyed the initial burst of fragrance, I could barely smell it after 15 minutes. :'( I guess I was too cautious. But I love how soft, textured, mysterious and quietly opulent it is. One day, I must try the parfum!
Thanks for your post, Plumeria!
Now there's another New Year resolution for me: to get Shalimar parfum! ;D

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Transkaryotic Therapies, Inc. today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Orphan Australia for marketing and distribution of Replagal(TM) (agalsidase alfa) for the treatment of Fabry disease in Australia and New Zealand. Under the terms of this agreement, Orphan Australia will have exclusive marketing and distribution rights to Replagal for 15 years.
In Australia, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee has recommended Replagal be considered for funding under the Life Saving Drug Category, which is an important step toward receiving government reimbursement in Australia for Replagal. A final decision on Australian reimbursement approval is expected in the first half of 2004. A decision on reimbursement approval in New Zealand is pending.
"We are preparing to commercialize Replagal in a number of important new markets in 2004. We look forward to working with Orphan Australia and believe this agreement will enable us to best serve patients in Australia and New Zealand," said Michael J. Astrue, President and Chief Executive Officer of TKT.
"Replagal is an important addition to our portfolio of marketed products, complementing our strategic and therapeutic focus in specialty hospital products," said Mr. Alastair Young, Managing Director of Orphan Australia. "With our company's expertise targeting niche segments of the hospital market, Orphan Australia is well positioned to provide the necessary marketing support to launch Replagal in this territory."
TKT also announced today that it will not out-license a Gene-Activated(R) protein by the end of 2003, although it continues to work toward achieving that goal as early as possible in 2004. The company is seeking to partner several of its Gene-Activated protein products, which are versions of proteins that would compete with proteins currently being marketed by third parties.
About Replagal
Replagal is a fully human alpha-galactosidase A protein, produced by genetic engineering technology, intended for long-term treatment of Fabry disease. It replaces the deficient alpha-galactosidase A with active enzyme to halt or reverse the disease process. Since August 2001, Replagal has been approved for commercial use in 27 countries, including the 15 countries of the European Union, Australia and New Zealand. In the United States, Replagal is an investigational product.
About TKT
Transkaryotic Therapies, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing treatments for rare diseases caused by protein deficiencies with a core focus on lysosomal storage diseases. The company markets one product, Replagal(TM), an enzyme replacement therapy for Fabry disease in Europe and other countries and is developing treatments for Hunter syndrome and Gaucher disease. TKT's research pipeline is focused on rare diseases where a significant unmet medical need exists. TKT was founded in 1988 and is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with additional operations in Europe and Latin America. Additional information about TKT is available on the company's website at http://www.tktx.com/.

There are a number of important factors that could cause the company's actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including, whether any of the company's products will achieve the commercial success anticipated by the company; whether competing products will reduce the market opportunity for such products; whether TKT will be successful in finding a partner for it's Gene-Activated proteins; and other factors set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in the company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are incorporated herein by reference.

Market integration, environmental policy, and transboundry pollution from consumption
Recent empirics report that transport cost reductions significantly contribute to rapidly growing world trade. This article develops a reciprocal market model of intra-industry trade with transboundary pollution from consumption to consider how market integration in the form of transport cost reductions affects the noncooperative choice of an environmental policy and the equilibrium welfare. I show that market integration can improve welfare locally, but that welfare under any non-prohibitive trade cost can not be higher than welfare under autarky. This possibility of trade losses exhibits a sharp contrast to the case of production-generated pollution.

A Santa Barbara County man is now facing charges that he sexually assaulted four intoxicated, or unconscious women, and investigators say they're looking for more possible victims.
Jerry Providence Bonhomme was already in the Santa Barbara County jail yesterday for three cases when he was re-arrested on charges of a fourth incident. Santa Barbara Police detectives say he preyed on women who were intoxicated, and in some cases using drugs.
Some of the incidents date back as far as 2007.

A SUICIDE awareness programme is being set up in Portadown after another sudden death has shocked the community - this time of a respected education youth officer.
The body of David McCrory was discovered beside Craigavon lakes on Wednesday of last week.
His death has been profoundly felt not only by his family, but also throughout the youth service of the Southern Education Board and in Craigavon Civic Centre where his pregnant wife Louise works in the development department.
A colleague of Mr McCrory, who was in his late 30s, told the Portadown Times, "David's death has come out of the blue. He had such a rapport with young people and was such a wonderful role model and they really looked up to him.
"He was so full of sparkle, and young people from all over the area looked to him for advice and leadership. They are profoundly shocked."

Surf's Up Birthday
I made this cake for a 1 year old's birthday party themed to the movie "Surf's Up." Thanks to tiarra for the inspiration! The cake is half chocolate butter and half yellow butter with buttercream icing. The water is tinted piping gel, sand is sugar, with fondant decorations. It was a big hit at the party and me second ordered cake! Yay!

Yes, it works for Touch if you have the libusb-win32 drivers installed for that specific Touch device. Because the pcbsn is part of the device identifier used in Device Manager, each device needs to be installed separately.
I used that .inf file for both the K4 and the Touch. Without it, it was just listed as a "Kindle" in "Unknown Devices" (with an exclamation mark), and fastboot could not see it.
I tried uninstalling my "Kindle-Fastboot" driver for both devices, and then fastboot could not see either of them. After reinstalling my driver, fastboot could see both of them in windows.
I did not try flashing an image yet. I could flash my touch diags partition with an image with no SSH, then after testing that SSH is missing, I could flash the image with SSH, and test that it works again. But later...
The K4 also needed to be installed using my Kindle-Fastboot.inf file, when installed using the methods that I used. It looks like you did exactly the same as I did to create your own version of this file (see post #6 and post #20).

GARY NAYSMITH, the East Fife player/manager, has been assured that his job is safe despite suffering relegation to SPFL League 2.
The Bayview club lost their relegation play-off 3-2 to Stirling Albion, a miserable end to a campaign which saw the club win just four regular season matches following Naysmith's appointment in December. But chairman Lee Murray has given the manager his full backing.
"I gave Gary an 18-month contract in December and we have a two-year plan for building this club," he said. "His job is certainly safe as far as I'm concerned.

Talk about back with a bang.
Having been relatively disappointed with the performance of the HD6 series, the HD7970 was a stunner. AMD aimed squarely at the GTX580 and definitely achieved their aims.
Of course, as with all premium products, there is a heavy price-tag to pay for that performance. So far more of us have been waiting for the release of the HD7950 to see if it's a repeat of the excellent 4850 (very close to its bigger brother), or more akin to the 6950 (only really useful in Crossfire).
Wonder no longer as we are here with the first of three HD7950 reviews today.
First up we have the reference model, here brought to us via the fine folks at HIS Digital.
Technical Specifications
As is often the case with the slightly reduced siblings in the graphics world, the main changes are in clock speed and the amount of Stream Processors. As always though, one of those problems can be overclocked away.
Otherwise it's the same excellent 28nm Tahiti Core we found on the HD7970.
|Radeon HD7950
|Core Clock
|Memory Size
|Memory Type
|Memory Bus
|384 bit
|Memory Speed
|1250 MHz
|PCI Bus
|PCI Express 3.0
|Stream Processors
2x Mini DisplayPort
So let's have a look shall we.
Up Close
As is always the case with HIS packaging it's both compact and eye-grabbing. The internal box is packed with high-density foam to protect your card from the rigours of its trip to your door.
Although the colour scheme and general design of the reference cooler is very similar to the HD7970, the centrally mounted fan has always made more sense to us that the end one, and usually leads to quieter operation.
Unlike the 8 and 6 arrangement of its bigger brother, the HD7950 only requires two 6pin PCIe power inputs.
Round the business end we have two mini DisplayPorts and the more standard DVI and HDMI outputs. Although the price of adaptors has come down greatly in recent times we'd still prefer a single DisplayPort and twin HDMI.
Although the blue PCB looks a little odd against the black and red, the HD7950 certainly is a good looking card for a reference design. Next to the Crossfire fingers we have the BIOS switch which allows you to run the full on overclocked BIOS, or of course if you fancy trying out something more exotic you have the safety of a spare.
Test Setup
As with all of our GPU reviews from 2012 onwards we're using the X79 LGA2011 rig.
HIS Digital HD7950
Catalyst HD7970 Drivers 11.12
Intel Core i7-3960X @ 4GHz
ASUS Rampage IV Extreme
Corsair AX1200W
Corsair GTX8
Corsair H100
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Just like its brother the HD7950 is a monster overclocker, easily capable of maxing the slider in Catalyst Control Center. It's not only the Core that can take a good overclock either, the Memory can be pushed way beyond stock.
Demonstrating that beliefs about the correct place to put a fan doesn't make us designers, the reference HD7950 is cooler than the HD7970 under load, but pretty toasty when idle.
3D Mark Vantage
At stock the card is exactly where we'd hoped it to be, which is close enough to the HD7970 to make the 7950 a viable option, but it's the overclocked performance that really shines, even overtaking the stock HD7970 and a GTX580. Impressive start.
3D Mark 11
Being such a shader intensive benchmark it's not a great surprise to see the HIS a little further behind at stock, but once again the 256 Stream Processor deficit is overcome by a beefy overclocked performance. Let's hope this translates into actual gaming.
Alien vs Predator
The performance remains impressive in Alien vs predator. The HD7950 easily beats out a stock HD6970 and the overclock allows it to pass the reference HD7970. Indeed if you cast your eyes down the graph you can see that in AvP the OC HD7950 beats out the GTX590.
Batman Arkham City
Clearly the HD7950 can munch through Arkham City. At stock it's not much behind the stock HD7970 which is good going, and the overclock gains us nearly 10 extra frames per second average.
Battlefield 3
So far, so stunning. When we think about the pretty big performance drop off that existed between the HD6970 and HD6950, the latest generation of Radeons are very close indeed. Even in the hefty Battlefield 3 the stock performance is good and the overclocked performance is exceptional.
Dirt 3
Our first unimpressive result. Although Dirt 3 still provides a perfectly playable experience, we were hoping for a little more out of the HD7950 than we got.
Far Cry 2
Whilst we await the latest instalment in the life of Ubisofts Island hopping adventure, Far Cry 2 is still capable of giving the cards a run for their money. Just like our previous benchmarks the stock card is very good and the overclock turns everything up to eleven, even running an overclocked HD7970 close.
Mafia 2
From warfare on the plains to warfare in the city, Mafia 2 looks and plays beautifully on the HIS. It's clear that with some overclocking you can unleash the beast that lays beneath that unassuming cooler.
Metro 2033
Different game, same amazing results. It certainly outperforms the HD6970 handsomely, and even runs its big brother close.
Resident Evil 5 DX9
If you prefer your killing to be of Zombies then you could do much worse than a HIS HD7950 in your machine. Such is the excellence of the PC port that anything provides smooth gaming, but the HIS really hits its stride here, pushing some incredible numbers.
Resident Evil 5 DX10
Moving from the DirectX 9 rendering API to the DirectX 10 one doesn't change the results. Either option with the HD7950 will have you shotgunning with ease.
Unigine 0xAA
Unigine Heaven always provides a stern test and it's no different here. Stock is fairly middling, but the overclock really lets the card get up a head of metaphorical steam.
Unigine 8xAA
With full anti-aliasing the demands upon the card are about as high as it gets, and finally the extra stream processors on the HD7970 make a noticeable difference. However, as usual, an overclock can gain back much that is lost.
The Witcher 2
We end as always with Geralt of Rivia and the finest looking game on the planet. Such are the demands here that we need all of our overclock to just keep up with the stock HD7970, but that's still not a bad result.
We don't mind admitting that we were very unsure of what we'd see from the slightly smaller version of the HD7970.
On the one hand we had the knowledge of how different the HD6950 was to it's larger brother, but on the other hand we knew how immense the performance of the HD7970 was. It was just a matter of which side the coin would fall.
To say that we were left stunned by the performance of the HD7950 is almost an understatement. It's brilliant.
To get this version the big tweaks we can see are a reduction in the Stream Processor count by 256, and a lower stock clock speed. Sure enough at stock the card is very good, but around the kind of levels that one would expect from the cheaper model.
It's when you overclock it, a very simple task indeed, that the true power of the HD7950 is unleashed. By the simple task of moving a slider you can easily obtain equal, and sometimes better, performance than its pricier stablemate.
Indeed the only price you pay for this is slightly higher idle temperatures. When under load the cooler is perfectly capable of keeping the temperatures below 80°C, at the slight cost of some noise pollution. But when you're getting this kind of performance some extraneous noise is to be expected and we'd be very miserable indeed to mark it down just for that.
Our over-riding impression is that the HD7950 hasn't actually been cut down enough in performance terms. Why spend the extra on the premium model when this, with a 5 second overclock, can match it and save you enough money for a couple of games. How much are you saving? Prices aren't confirmed yet but we're hearing about the same as a vanilla GTX580. It might be worth snatching them up before AMD notice how good they are.
We love it. We know you'll love it. Just know that to truly make it shine it's best overclocked. That isn't to say that the stock card isn't great, it is, it just can be so much more.
Radeon is once again a brand you can be proud to have in your PC. Wonderful. Of course it's Gold.
Thanks to HIS Digital for providing the HD7950 for review. Discuss in our forums.

Orange You Glad to Know This?
Dirty Little Secret: Orange Juice Is Artificially Flavored to Taste Like Oranges: "So in order to have OJ actually taste like oranges, drink companies hire flavor and fragrance companies, the same ones that make perfumes for Dior, to create these 'flavor packs' to make juice taste like, well, juice again."

Fascinating book by John McPhee (Oranges) that tells that when concentrate first came along, all the orange growers were persuaded to sell it roadside since it tasted more like oranges than oranges did.

Kit LaCroix credits two things with her recovery from a psychological breakdown that became the bleakest chapter of her life: the steady love of Bennett Mace and the rise of the Occupy movement.
LaCroix had been happy in Chicago, where she failed to finish art school but found work waiting tables in a pub. She tamed the social anxiety that first appeared during college and relished the banter with customers as much as the solitude of her studio apartment. Then the recession hit, her tips dried up and for two months in a row she couldn't make rent.
Reluctantly, LaCroix moved home to Fairfax City to live with her parents in early 2009. She took a job doing customer service for a government contractor but was largely friendless and bored. So she began popping into the Auld Shabeen, a bar near her childhood home, and quickly became acquainted with the other regulars.
Among them was Mace, a bearded, gravelly voiced man who grew up in the Netherlands, worked at Starbucks and seemed to know everything about everything. One night LaCroix showed up with a historical fiction book about Medieval Wales and Mace began expounding on the events of the period.She felt as if she were listening to a nutty professor. "He was like a stocking on Christmas morning," she says. "Like, 'There's all sorts of weird stuff down here — let's see what we got.' "
He told her that he grew up with Asperger's syndrome, which led to difficulty reading social nuances, that he'd had a major depressive episode during high school and that, until recently, he'd spent a lot of time feeling bitter about things that had gone wrong. Now he was trying to focus on what could still go right.
When he found out it was LaCroix's birthday, he suggested they meet at the bar. By the end of the night, they were making out in the parking lot of her old elementary school. The next weekend he asked her on a date to Summers, a soccer bar in Arlington. She didn't go home for two days. "There was just all sorts of driving and philosophizing and killing of the time," she says. "And it just flew by."
"I immediately understood that she didn't have as high an opinion of herself as she deserved to have," he recalls. "I was very taken aback by her intellect, by her social instinct."
LaCroix loved to listen to Mace and found him greatly calming, but she resisted the idea of a relationship. In the past, men had fallen for her free spirit but then tried to change it. For much of the next year they floated along nebulously, spending most of their time together but refusing the labels "boyfriend" and "girlfriend."
But in May 2010, Mace grew frustrated with his work at Starbucks. They began to talk about marriage. If they were married, they realized, she could add him to her health-care plan and he could quit his job. "We were like, 'This really makes a lot of sense," she says. "Of all the people I've ever known, this is the person who I would love to be 70 years old with, sitting on a Barcalounger hearing history unfold around us."
She logged onto Web sites for partners of people with Asperger's and chatted with other members who told her the condition was "incompatible with marriage." But LaCroix had better communication with Mace than anyone she'd ever known and found the direct honesty of their interactions refreshing. "From day one we've always had that ability to be like, 'Hey, this is what I need,' " she says.
They decided they would have a civil ceremony quickly and plan a wedding for 2012. But three weeks later Mace found LaCroix in a panic, frantic about her job performance and contemplating suicide. He took her to the hospital and visited every day for the week she was there.
When LaCroix was released, she began therapy and tried various medications but became reclusive. Mace lives in the basement of his parents' house and she spent most of her time there, making paper flowers and other decorations for the wedding. "It was this long, difficult period and he stuck straight by me — never even wavered," she says. "He was the most supportive person I can ever imagine."
They were legally wed at a courthouse that September., two days before her insurance was set to run out. He continued to work at Starbucks until the following May, when he began babysitting for his 5-year-old nephew. The couple signed up for a COBRA health insurance plan that allowed them to continue to afford their medications.
When a friend invited her to an Occupy protest in October, the message resonated. A week later, she and Mace returned to Freedom Plaza with a tent. "For me and my current battle with mental illness, that was really the icing," she says. "I went from zero to 60. I was on committees and doing actions, just totally out of my shell and back to my old self again.I felt appreciated for who I was and what I was contributing."
The pair stayed until late November, when they left to focus on wedding planning. For their Jan. 15 celebration, which they consider the real start of their marriage, Mace crafted personalized rubber stamps for each guest. LaCroix made all the bouquets, and as her masterpiece, an 1800s-style wedding dress with a green corset, ivory bustle and a six-foot train. It was sewn out of curtains from J.C. Penney and a local thrift store.
A friend from the Auld Shabeen officiated the ceremony at the Old Town Hall in Fairfax. Mace had tears in his eyes as LaCroix walked down the aisle to "Baba O'Riley" (perhaps better known as "Teenage Wasteland") by the Who.
"Before I met you I lived within a zone of comfort. I had ceased to be curious," he told her. "You saw through my aloofness and dared me to take a risk. I see in you the fire of life."
At the reception, cousins and uncles mingled with friends from the Occupy protests, who were variously clad in dark coats, plaid kilts and black boots. One approached the bride and told her he had a wedding gift for her. "A cold?" she asked cheerfully before examining his face. "Oh! You shaved!"
With the wedding over, the two are planning their return to the protest. And LaCroix knows that whatever happens after that, it will be an adventure.
"I have yet to have a single day of knowing Benn where I have not been delightfully surprised by something," she says. "He knows so much and there's so much to pick in that brain — there's definitely a lifetime's worth in there. I'm not going to get bored with this one."

South Wales Police are appealing to the public to help identify the unknown man so his family can be contacted.
They are hoping an unusual keyring found in his possession could be of help.
The man, in his 40s, was taken ill while jogging on the Cardiff Bay barrage at around 2.25pm today.
Witnesses saw him coming from the Cardiff direction towards Penarth.
He was taken to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff.
"He was not carrying any identification and police are appealing for the public's help in identifying the man so his family can be contacted," a police spokesman said.
"He is described as being aged in his 40s, wearing a white T-shirt, grey jogging bottoms and grey trainers.
"He had in his possession a silver keyring with a pharaoh picture on the front and the word Egypt. There are also red stones on the top of the keyring, with several keys attached to it."

After supper yesterday I was scheduled for an easy 4 mile run. (the new "Fly-by-the-seat of your pants training plan) Its wasn't quite as hot as its been and I felt good so out I went.
I was going up a kind of short hill near the 2 mile mark, and I saw ahead of me a young couple pushing a nice stroller (& baby probably) with their dog. Anyways as I got close I went out on the grass a bit to go around them, and the dog kind of looked my way. I gave a little wave as I passed, and the guy said; "sorry"! Some of you have been complaining lately about encounters with dogs, and this was clearly something different. (its possible that a tear came to my eyes, although I was sweating pretty good by this time anyways)
So I continued my run, crossed the bridge (why? to get to the other side) and continued for another mile, on the trail, beside the river, underneath big trees, etc. I got about another mile further, and say a woman coming the other way out walking her dog.
I moved over to one side of the trail, and her and her dog moved to the other side. I gave her a little wave (for all I know she might have been a runner) and anyways she said; "Sorry sir"!
WTH? I've been running basically this same route along one side of the river, over the bridge, and back along the other side of the river for a little over 25 years.
I've seen lots of people out walking their dogs, and twice on the same 4 mile run, 2 different people said sorry.
What does it mean?

Jerusalem, Aug 11: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday underwent a surgery to treat hernia, his office said.
The overnight operation, carried out at Jerusalem's Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital, was successful and took around an hour, Xinhua reported.
According to doctors, the 63-year-old prime minister will require several days of rest to make a full recovery.
