Savannah SternRequest Her Follow
Model Information
Measurements: 34b-26-34
Sometimes having a big mouth can be a bad thing, but in porn a big mouth is almost always desirable. First, a big mouth brunette like Savannah Stern can talk dirty well enough to make any man hard. Second, and more importantly, once her costar has good wood -- that big mouth of hers is perfect for.. well.. all the oral action that comes with it! The challenge with Savannah Stern is having the mental strength needed to go beyond her mouth long enough to enjoy her other assets. She's got great breasts for tit-fucking, a big booty and the softest bald pussy you'll see this year. Still, once she has her mouth on you all the rest just seems to fade out of existance.

A new commercially viable solar-grade (SoG) silicon derived from metallurgical silicon purification promises to increase the availability of feedstock to the photovoltaic industry, providing new technology options to ingot, wafer, and cell producers. Recently introduced to the market by Dow Corning, Midland, Mich., PV 1101 SoG Silicon exhibits good solar cell performance characteristics when blended with traditional polysilicon feedstock. With bulk production starting earlier this summer, and customer shipments that began in August, PV 1101 is the first product to be manufactured at Dow Corning Solar Solutions Group's new production facility in Santos Dumont, Brazil.
For several years, the primary obstacle to the growth of solar energy has been the constrained availability of silicon, the key raw material used in the production of solar cells. Until now, the solar industry has relied on the supply of polycrystalline silicon, a high-grade purity product, originally developed for the semiconductor industry, which has left the industry with a serious material shortage. According to Dow Corning, the launch of PV 1101, produced from a very different route, will alleviate that restraint and offer a new source of supply as well as new options for the solar industry — a trend that if realized could mean a boost in photovoltaic installation jobs for electrical contractors working in the residential, commercial, and institutional solar space in the near future.
"PV 1101 is certainly one of the most innovative technologies to come along in the solar energy industry since the manufacture of the first silicon solar cells," says Gäetan Borgers, director of Dow Corning Solar Solutions. "For years now, the solar industry has hoped to be supplied by new sources of silicon designed and dedicated to them. PV 1101 is a major step in that direction. It is a step that will provide a means of growth for the solar industry."

Jake Owen Shows Off His New Corvette
You don't have to be a car guy or girl to appreciate Jake Owen's new car. The singer is showing his new baby, a 2014 C7 Stingray that goes zero to 60 in under four seconds. Try not to drool on the leather interior.
Owen first shared a photo of the car on April 15 after the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky. urged him to show it off. He talked about his love for the model recently while visiting the Museum and standing over a large sink hole that swallowed multiple classics last February. He told WSMV-TV he's always wanted one, but couldn't afford it.
The cost? According to Chevrolet's website a base package would start at $53K, but Owen's looks significantly souped up. With 460 horses roaming under the hood, it's hard to believe the adrenaline-loving Owen will keep it under the speed limit.

Detachment and the Obesity Connection
I never realized until recently how profoundly disconnected I was from my body when I was mistreating it with binge eating and the sluggish, self-centered lifestyle I'd adopted as a morbidly obese person. While I was stuffing my face with every imaginable goodie, I was transcending the 278-pound prison of pain that surrounded me. I wasn't a big tired woman eating brownie batter in the kitchen; when I was eating that sugary, fatty blend, I was a princess floating on a pink cloud with rainbows and unicorns dancing by. All the world was right for those few minutes when the batter was slipping down my throat. My eyes almost rolled back in my head in pleasure and I was in another dimension. And then the bowl was empty and I'd snap back to the reality of being a sad lonely single mother in a 3X t shirt with pizza sauce stains down the front and holey stretch pants. And to counter that reality, I needed a bag of potato chips.
I was so detached from my body that I honestly didn't know how big I'd gotten. I remember squeezing into my size 26 jean shorts, being almost unable to button them, and yet I never really *got* that I had gained more than 100 pounds. I wasn't stupid, I wasn't even truly oblivious. I mean, I had to buy bigger sizes as I went along, but I still saw myself at about 225 pounds when I looked in the mirror... much the same way I see myself at 235 when I look in the mirror today weighing 216. I never really *got* how much I weighed until I had lost about 30 or 40 pounds and looked at the pictures I posted on my blog. My jaw dropped. I had been THAT big? I don't remember seeing THAT body in the mirror. I *do* remember being in pain, being unable to walk for more than 2 minutes or go up and down stairs, and I remember sleeping propped up because if I laid down I would wake up choking on digested food that came up my throat in my sleep. I remember walking through a party supply shop, turning around in and aisle and knocking an entire glass shelf filled with merchandise onto the floor. I remember standing red-faced in the resultant pile of glass shards and wondering how my hip had caught that shelf... surely I was not as wide as the narrow aisles. I remember breaking chairs when I sat down, but I somehow was still so detached from my *body reality* that I didn't really comprehend how large I had gotten. Until I started to lose weight.
I wasn't just detached from my body... I was detached from life. I spent a lot of time in my head, thinking about food, planning the next binge, making up recipes, wondering if bacon would taste good in a butter-grilled peanut butter sandwich. I *saw* the stuff around me, but I was somewhere else a lot of the time. Sadly, I was so focused on food that I was missing out on other, more important (and more pleasant) things in life.
A lot of the time when I am in a sugar fog, I am largely detached from what is going on around me. I don't notice things and I don't feel like doing things. I want to sit, watch TV, spend hours on the computer, and eat. THAT is what I call "living in my head." Heck, I wouldn't even need a body at all if I had some way to get cupcakes and hot dogs into my alternate reality... I just used my body as a means to experience the pleasures of eating. Not much else. Oh, I'd do the basics, clean the house, care for the children, etc., but I was not *present* for cleaning the house. I didn't *play* with my children on the playground... I just *watched* them and *thought* about how much I love them. Big difference.
When I am out of the sugar fog, and not obsessing about food, I feel so much more grounded to reality... to my body. I am not living in some imaginary world in my mind... I am actually interacting in my environment. I am not trying constantly to escape reality by eating. I am actually *enjoying* reality. Creating it. Living it.
I feel so very alive now. I see things that need to be done and I embrace the challenge instead of dreading the work. I see the sunshine outside and I want to be out there *in* it... not burying my face in a Big Mac Meal or a computer screen for hours on end. I feel like I have stepped back into the real world. I feel like I have awakened from a decade of detached slumber. I am awake, alive, and present.
Be present for *your* life. It is there, waiting to be enjoyed and embraced.

This is beautiful. I LOVE it. I am SO glad that I found you. It's so true. It's exactly what I need to remind myself of. There's this old part of me that is holding on dearly to not living, for it's afraid of the beauty..it's almost too overwhelming for me. But you're reminded me that I deserve it and can handle it. Thank you so much. Amazing post.

That's actually a really self-preserving feature in humans. If we don't want something to be, we will our attention away from it. I think the thing that got me the most was seeing myself in photos--that startled me a lot. At first, I said someone just took the shot from a bad angle, then they kept coming back looking like a bloated stranger. When you look in the mirror, you generally see yourself in a 2-dimensional realm and you seem acceptable. Put yourself in a 3-way mirror and whoa! Yeah, it's really just like alcohol or drugs. You know those shows for interventions? That could be done with a morbidly obese person in the room with family and friends reading letters and making them see how their behavior affects everyone around them who loves them, as well as their own health and life, how they give up doing fun things or going out in public and let everything go so they can be alone with their addiction, how they think about their next "hit" at the fast food window. Yeah, the mind helps us when we go through trauma the same way so we can take it, but that mental amnesia can hurt us too. You're very perceptive. I love how you can look at life and be objective. That's all it takes for permanent change--get back to logic and away from emotions to make decisions.

I have checked your blog 5 times this morning already waiting for this post, any post, a new post.....THAT is how much I look forward to reading you, you are amazingly insightful. You address the issue in truths, not side-step it. I LOVE that I am sugar and gluten (and basically carb free) free now for 4 1/2 months, not one day, not one smidge of sugar could make having it worth it. I have been living again, I got my life back. I have about 30 more pounds to lose but I am happy with the 30 that are gone so far, what a HUGE difference.

Amazing post, Lyn, and so true. A sugar fog totally puts a thick layer of invisible haze around me, and into my mind.

Great post, love your words! Be present, it's so important isn't it? I snapped out of it for a little bit, and have come back. I am so very thankful that I snapped back quickly and only gained 5 pounds. In the past, I would of been so lost in my despair, that I would of lost the connection to my body as you described yours. I can't believe how many people encounter the same feelings yet at times we felt so alone. Thank God for Blogging!!!

Hi Lyn,
Awesome post as usual. I love reading your blog. One day at a time getting to where you want to be. I find comfort in your words today because they convey exactly how I have lived my life for the last 30 yrs. I want my life back, and no longer do I want to just be a watcher of life going by, but rather a doer. I want to participate. I am a prisoner of my own body. My 400lbs body is tired and begging me to change. Today, I surrender to making that change because I want to live. Truly live. Thank you for always being so raw and honest in your postings.

Well written post. I know what it's like being in that junk food fog. I still struggle occasionally with it and I'm hoping to conquer it for good soon. I was just thinking this morning that maybe what I need is to to cut sugar out of my diet completely for a few weeks. Maybe that will help me not feel so sluggish.

- Mad Woman said...
So true, so very true. I'm down about 43 lbs now and it's only that I now see that number and see my dress size dropping that I am fully aware of how large I really was. How large I STILL am.
But you know what? We're getting there. We're getting smaller every day and that's awesome.
Keep it up!

Hi Lyn, Is there any chance that Medifast will run another coupon through your blog?
I am desperate and will probably try something very very low carb anyway, but it would be nice not to have to make menu choices. I need a break from measuring and deciding!
I've been eating 1400 calories per day and I walk 2 to 3 miles each day. (I was also doing strength training until I got discouraged this week. I'm unable to exercise more because of arthritis.) I weigh and measure and record every bite, right down to my fish oil capsules.
My point: I have only lost ten lbs in 3 months. I am 5'7" and weigh 273. I am hungry almost all the time, and feel like a B*tch to live with. If I eat more calories, I stop losing altogether or I gain. This week I gained 4 lbs!!! I have exceeded 1400 cals only twice in 3 months, and even then my max for those day was 1630/1680.
I think it MUST be the carbs causing some metabolic problem, hence I'm seeking a low carb option, which medifast seems to offer. I've only eaten sugar once in over 6 months (a piece of pie at Christmas). The only carbs I eat now are in fruits, sweet potatoes, and special high fiber cereal/bread.
Sorry to cry on your shoulder like this. I am getting depressed. I don't even want to read diet blogs anymore because they make me feel worse than I do now. Yours gives me hope because you're eating differently...no just low cal but low carb.
Thanks. Keep up the great work with your writing and increased insights! Take care.

I can really relate to this. And really, I've never been obese. Over weight, yes, but never over 170 pounds. But still, the feeling I had are jsut the same. My body became nothing to me - food was all that could make me feel better, but ultimately so much worse. thanks again for writing this!
- April 14, 2010 at 6:29 PM
- Lyn said...
It's ok! DOn't feel bad. You are okay, and you are not your weight. But I certainly know how you feel... the desperation and the desire to change. Wanting to make your life better is good. I do think a low carb plan might help you. Have you tried South Beach? I do get not wanting to make menu choices...
The coupon code Lyn50 will give you $50 off a $275 purchase on Medifast, and is good through 5/31/10. I wish you all the best. Let me know how you're doing.

Lyn YOU ARE AWESOME. I am a mother to many as well and have just filed for divorce. My husband was a great guy, I think I ruined him. He is fighting the divorce.
I am of course overweight after many children and have hypothyroidism.
I live on the other side of the world (did you know you have international readers?) and am well just sick of being fat and dont have access to Medifast or other programs.
My biggest problem is my oldest daughter who is 15 and obese, it breaks my heart. She was born big, is big boned but now is just huge and hates herself. She has a range of health problems that are either caused by the obesity, or cause the obesity.
Do you have any advice for me about her?
Is there anyway we could email privately?

You describe that 'hiding away' from the world so well Lyn. I am guilty of hiding behind the computer screen, sitting down too much, putting off jobs which need to be done and deciding that going outside is becoming scary and takes too much effort. I think fat people do become slightly reclusive and then ironically turn to food for companionship and comfort. Being able to break that chain gives us freedom to be who we are meant to be, slowly, slowly. We can take our place in the world once again, feeling so much more confident about our future. Thanks for reminding me that is where I want to be.

This is such an amazing post Lyn and I can feel your words right down to the core of my soul. The sugar fog and feeling so detached. I'm sugar free for three days now and my body feels so alive.

- April 15, 2010 at 11:53 AM
At the start of your post I was worried you were about to begin a process of hating yourself as an obese woman and only loving yourself smaller. I should know you better than that! I've had to stop reading a different blog becasue they are so harsh about the "obese" person that once was and so smug about the new thin awesome person. I had a moment of insanity thinking you might be changing! As I kept reading I realized it was your usual wonderful insightful self. Thank you so much for all of your help through your writing. I'd be in a different place without you. Does that sound good to you? It should. Your blog helps me so much.

Yes. Cold turkey is, I think, the way to go. It is HARD, with headaches and withdrawals for a couple of days but then life is so much better. When I did South Beach diet was the first time I "detoxed" from sugar and realised what it was doing to me. I am so much better off without it.

I relate so much to this post in every way, not only because of the sugar fog, but because I tend to dissociate from my body as an incest survivor as well.

Thank you, as always, for the inspiration, honesty, and insight.

Hi Lyn. I had this same realization the other day too. I blogged about it as well. How had I put the weight on "not realized" even though it was obvious. I was buying bigger clothes and was even embarassed when I would run into someone I hadnt seen in a while. And it isnt until NOW that I see the weight coming off and things are clearing up. It is very eye opening for me. I am learning a lot about me through this journey with Medifast.
- April 15, 2010 at 5:12 PM
Hi Lyn,
Im the anonymous from yesterday who asked about the medifast coupon and complained (CRIED!) about being hungry all the time. Well, today I went nearly carb free, lost of protein and healthy fat. I already feel soooo much better! It's hilarious crazy because my total calories were actually less than usual and yet I haven't felt hungry at all. I think I've been fat deprived (fat in food, that is) for years. Weird what a difference a day can make. Thank you so much for your encouragement and kind words. My friend loaned me all her South Beach books, so I'm going for it!

Gilmat Interior, 2017-10-06 13:20:35.Whatever your reason to create your own reclaimed wood dining table, here we have some basic ideas to see and follow. DIY reclaimed wood table is usually appropriate to express your rustic appetite. It has good aesthetic value to show off. Besides, it can be also an excellent alternative if you have limited budget to purchase any dining table from the market.The following are the materials that you may need. Remember that you may have different materials for the legs. The materials will be reclaimed wood, steel, sand paper, wood screws and steel wool. Steel can be replaced with wood, plastic or iron for the table legs. Then, you will need also the following tools such as drill or screwdriver, pliers, gloves, hammer, saw horses and rip saw or hand saw.To start the instruction, you need to prepare the salvaged wood. According to the size, you can make use of 3 to 12 boards that are strapped down. Be careful with the nails, screws or metal on these wooden boards. For safer work, you may wear your gloves. Then, it is the time to pull the nails, screws etc. Make sure that you don't damage the grain of the wood. After that, decide the size of the table that you want so that you can precisely measure the width and length of the woods.Set the wood boards. It will be little bit easy when the boards have straight lines. Thus, it is good for you to find some straight wooden planks. Then, you can easily screw them. Commonly, 9 screws are enough. Each support is with 3 screws. Then, re-measure your candidate of wooden table. Not fixed security may lead to unsymmetrical shape. Clear up the edges of the woods before this wooden planks are set with the legs. You can build the legs by yourself. But if you find it difficult, you can simply purchase the legs from IKEA.Set the wood plank with the legs. Secure them by using some screws. For the finishing, you need to work with sand paper and steel wool. They make the wood have smooth surface. Then, it can be completed with polishing or painting. Polishing will still keep the natural pattern of the wood and it is perfect for bold rustic look. Having different tones of the table top and legs is interesting. It is a good idea for a modern reclaimed wood dining table.

Gilmat Door Design, 2017-10-09 14:00:26.While it's true that installing sliding barn door can always add unique and appealing design element in your home, there are some important things you must ask yourself first before making your final decision. First of all, consider if you have the sufficient structural stability. Even though the door offers a parallel diffusion of weight across its header, the point load for sliding barn door track, door, and hardware will be on the frame exterior. For sliding barn door DIY, it's always important to know if the door you've chosen is too heavy for the track system it's about to use.Think about what you wish to cover up. Remember the sliding barn door doesn't lie flush with the opening. In fact, it hovers over the opening on its exterior track. While the barn door completely covers the opening, it doesn't seal it the way any typical door dose. This causes any small gap to possibly preset between the drywall and the door. If you need privacy, such as using the door to cover bathroom, be sure you get the best possible contact between door and door frame.Next thing is think is the look you are pursuing. Many homeowners love sliding barn door showing rustic appeal with weathered wood for door slab. Others may prefer the look of barn door with etched glass slider. Regardless of what you prefer in style, be sure the door can add to the overall appeal of the room rather than detracting from it.Consider the size of the hardware too. It is important to use placement and scale to vary your style statement. Remember that hardware can always set sliding barn door apart from another. Decide if you want to install the rollers on the exterior or interior of the door, as the placement will affect the overlap between the walls and doors when closed. Think about the door pulls design too. If the barn door is meant to be opened and closed frequently, the pull design should allow the person to open or close the door easily.Last but not least, keep in mind that installing sliding barn door isn't a project that doesn't require a few sacrifices. It's important to know and understand that a sliding door system to install is something you will wish to live with for a long time to come rather than only for a few months ahead. Therefore, make your door selections with that in your mind.

Brussels, 28 September 2010
Digital Agenda: Major ICT companies join European Commission initiative to reduce electricity consumption
Information & communication technology (ICT) equipment and services consume over 8% of electrical power in the EU and produce about 4% of its CO2 emissions. These figures could double by 2020. The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) manages voluntary codes of conduct for ICT companies to reverse this trend. Today in Brussels at the "ICT 2010-Digitally Driven" event, 16 more ICT firms have agreed to reduce the electricity consumption of their broadband equipment and data centres. This should reduce their electricity consumption, in many cases by 50%. Although a voluntary measure, 36 of Europe's biggest ICT companies already apply the codes of conduct. The Digital Agenda for Europe adopted by the Commission in May 2010 (IP/10/581, MEMO/10/199, MEMO/10/200) wants to ensure that the ICT sector leads the way on reducing its greenhouse gas emissions.
Commissioner Máire Geoghegan-Quinn said: "The success of these codes of conduct shows industry's recognition that innovation to boost energy efficiency is a commercial, economic and environmental priority. It is a good example of the JRC's behind-the-scenes work to support the Europe 2020 Strategy."
Vice President of the European Commission for the Digital Agenda Neelie Kroes said: "Implementing these two codes of conduct will significantly reduce the EU's electricity consumption and could save € 4.5 billion per year. I welcome this work towards a more sustainable future."
Code of conduct on broadband equipment
Broadband equipment accounts for around 15% of the ICT sector's overall energy consumption, or about 47 TWh in 2010 in the EU.
10 companies (both telecom operators and manufacturers) have already signed this code of conduct, covering about 25 million broadband lines in the EU (27%). With 10 new companies signing up, the coverage will raise to 65 million in the EU (72%) plus 10 million more in Norway, Switzerland and Turkey.
The code of conduct for broadband equipment has existed since 2007 and sets maximum power consumption, (in consumer premises and telecom operators' substations) for many different types of equipment, such as modems, switches, routers and home gateways. Energy savings are achieved through the mandatory use of the best available low energy components while making sure that fast and ultra-fast broadband can be delivered to all European citizens by 2020 under the Digital Agenda for Europe.
Code of conduct on data centres
Data centres account roughly for 18 % of the ICT sector's energy consumption and they are expected to grow faster than any other ICT technology. Across Europe, they consume about 56 TWh of electricity per year. Data centres include all buildings and facilities which contain enterprise servers and related server communication equipment to provide some form of data service.
6 new companies will sign today and join the 26 participants (with 42 data centres) which are currently registered. There are more than 100 endorsers; companies that develop products, solutions and programmes to enable data centre owners and operators to meet the goals of the code of conduct.
This code of conduct, introduced in October 2008, aims to avoid outdated design practices that lead to power consumption inefficiencies. In 2010 it was complemented by a series of best practice recommendations on design, purchase and operation in areas like software, IT architecture and IT infrastructure. For instance, on the efficient management of environmental conditions, by providing cooling exactly where it is needed on the server CPUs and by avoiding overcooling.
The code should also help ensure that data centre operators know the financial, environmental and infrastructural benefits of improving the energy efficiency of their facilities. This is in line with another key objective of the Digital Agenda: ensuring that the ICT sector leads the way on reporting its greenhouse gas emissions, and adopting a common methodology by 2011, opening the way for other energy intensive sectors to follow.
Whilst the Codes of Conduct address the energy efficiency challenge regarding broadband and data centres, the ICT4EE Forum is looking at the overall energy and carbon footprints of the sector. It was established by the ICT industry following the European Commission's 2009 Recommendation to facilitate the transition to an ICT-based low-carbon economy (see IP/09/1498). The Forum is working to develop methodologies that coherently measure the sector's energy and carbon performances and the quantification of the benefits that ICT solutions bring to other sectors such as buildings, transport, and so on.
The codes of conduct provide a platform bringing European stakeholders together to discuss and agree voluntary actions which will improve energy efficiency. In addition to the two already mentioned, three other codes relating to digital TV services, efficiency of external power supplies and AC uninterruptible power systems have been set up.
Managed and produced by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre, their key aim is to inform and stimulate the ICT industry to reduce energy consumption in a cost-effective manner without hampering the critical function of the facility or the equipment.
By signing the codes of conduct, the individual companies voluntarily commit themselves to reducing energy consumption by an agreed amount in a pre-defined time scale through the adoption of best practices.

Each student registration, once classes have begun and regardless of whether or not the student has paid tuition at the point of registration, constitutes a financial obligation to the State of New York that cannot be rescinded. Any leave of absence or withdrawal from an academic program or individual courses must be requested by the student in writing.

The student activity fees and other nontuition charges cannot be refunded. Refunds of tuition must be based upon a timely written official withdrawal from classes.

Important information concerning the Graduate Center tuition refund schedule.
A student is entitled to a full refund of tuition and noninstructional fees (where applicable) in the event that courses are cancelled or a student's registration is cancelled by the Graduate Center or one of the senior colleges.

Unless a written petition is filed with the Registrar by the deadline and the Vice President for Student Affairs is notified in writing of the pending petition, no retroactive changes in residency can be made.
Residency policy as noted in the University Tuition & Fee Manual.
Doctoral tuition charges are based on a student's "Level," which is determined by a combination of the number of graduate credits completed (including, in the case of transfer students, credits accepted by the student's degree program and the Registrar) and specific academic accomplishments. These levels are defined as follows:
Level I—Students who have completed fewer than 45 credits of graduate work (including approved transfer credit) and/or have not passed the First Examination. At Level I only, students who are New York State residents and enrolled on a part-time basis-fewer than 7 credits and weighted instructional units (WIUs)-are billed on a per-credit basis. In addition, both full-time and part-time out-of-state and international students at Level I are billed at the per-credit rate for all credits/WIUs.
N.B. For billing purposes, courses taken by Level I students on an audit basis will be treated the same as courses taken for credit and will be included in the assessment of tuition charges. (For more details, see "Auditing Courses.")
Level II—From the semester following the completion of 45 credits (fully earned and evaluated and including approved transfer credits) and passing of the First Examination, to advancement to candidacy.
Level III—From the semester following advancement to candidacy. Level III students registering for non-90000 courses for credit will be charged additional tuition on a per-credit basis. Level III students do not incur additional charges for courses audited.
Students are responsible for ascertaining that their tuition level has been properly established. Students questioning their level for billing purposes must petition the Registrar's Office and the Vice President for Student Affairs in writing by the end of the third week of the semester in question. Unless a written petition is filed with the Registrar by the deadline and the Vice President for Student Affairs is notified in writing of the pending petition, no retroactive changes in level can be made.

Can't a guy just give a girl jewelry for no reason at all?
After many high profile nights and days at the Cannes Film Festival, Diane Kruger and longtime beau Joshua Jackson hopped on over to Monte Carlo, Monaco on Wednesday night.
At a "Nights in Monaco" benefit dinner and auction, the Fringe actor, 33, treated his girlfriend, 35, to a sweet treat, indeed: spending $45,000 on a Carla Amorim "Boreal" necklace, featuring 11.7 carats of white diamonds set in 18 carat rose gold.
The Inglourious Basterds actress "was stunned" and "absolutely floored" by Jackson's over-the-top purchase, according to a witness. "She kept kissing him the rest of the night because she was so shocked still! The necklace is out of this world and he definitely had his eye out for it.
Still, despite rumors to the contrary, Kruger's rep tells Us Weekly that the longtime couple, who've been dating for over five years, is not engaged.
(Held at the Hotel de Paris, the inaugural Nights in Monaco auction benefit the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and the William J. Clinton Foundation, and was also attended by Prince Albert II of Monaco, President Bill Clinton, Princess Caroline of Monaco, Rose McGowan, Billy Zane and others.)
"Without sounding pessimistic, I learned that I don't believe in marriage," said Kruger to Glamour magazine in early February 2011. The star married French actor Guillaume Canet back in 2001, and they divorced five years later. "I believe in a commitment that you make in your heart. There's no paper that will make you stay. A guy friend of mine said, and it made a lot of sense, that people should get married at the end of the road, not the beginning."

Doctor Who Diecast Master's Pocket Watch
"Time and time and time again, always running out on me."
- Authentic replica from Doctor Who TV series
- Watch has nightlight feature and waistcoat chain
- High quality die cast metal construction
When we think of pocket watches, we often think of old relics carried by old men. And we suppose that Time Lords are "old men" in the sense that they are 900+ years old. When a Time Lord wants to hide, all he need do is use the Chameleon Arch and store his memories and biology in a fob watch. When he's ready to recall his identity, it's just a matter of opening the watch, that is, if you can get through the perception filter.
Since you're all human and not Gallifreyan, this watch won't be much use to you for the whole memory/biology storage business. It's just a very spiffy recreation of the watch that The Master was stored in when he was living life as Professor Yana. Open it up and press the button for an out of this world nightlight feature. Just promise us you won't decimate the world's population... no matter how cool the word "decimate" is.
Product Specifications
- Authentic replica watch with light effects, modeled after the TV prop
- Watch has a nightlight feature and waistcoat chain
- Fully functional watch
- Zinc alloy case with detailed engraving
- Officially licensed Doctor Who collectible
- Batteries: Requires 1 'SR626' battery (included)
- Dimensions: Watch measures approx. 2" in diameter. Chain is 13" long.

Climate Modeling of Geoengineering: Meeting report featured in EOS
Dr. Ben Kravitz, atmospheric postdoctoral researcher at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, co-authored "Robust Results from Climate Model Simulations of Geoengineering" published in the August 13 edition of EOS. The publication is a summary report from the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP) meeting held in April 2013. Solar geoengineering—deliberate reduction in the amount of solar radiation retained by the Earth—is a proposed temporary way of reducing some of the effects of greenhouse gases while mitigation is in progress. GeoMIP uses climate models developed around the world to simulate the effects of solar geoengineering in response to greenhouse gas emissions.

- Your work requires you to be informed and up-to-date about the subject matter covered by the trade publication.
- You need information about the types of products and/or services advertised or discussed in the trade publication for your work.
- Your job calls upon you to evaluate, recommend and/or purchase the types of products or services that are advertised or discussed in the trade publication you wish to subscribe to.

Thomas describes himself as "banking" obscure and unloved books, a statement which fills me with warmth and fellow feeling -- I can't describe the pleasure I have when I fall in love with some book that everyone else has overlooked, or when I read about one on someone else's blog and have to scour the internet to find a copy. I don't have much hope of finding the next Persephone - I realise that my taste is idiosyncratic and that anyway my especial favourites already have a loyal readership. However it delights me that recent editions of, for instance, the books of Stella Gibbons, Noel Streatfeild and Angela Thirkell may be finding new readers.
Since this is the traditional time of year for making resolutions, I thought it might be an appropriate moment to mention that this is an excellent time to finally get round to subscribing to those literary societies you've been meaning to join for ages, since many of them have membership years which run from January. If you need a reminder of societies in the UK, there's a useful list of them at the Alliance of Literary Societies. It might also be a good moment to tell you that, rather by accident, I have become the new editor of the journal of the Angela Thirkell Society, so I'm afraid you'll just have to make allowances if I keep banging on about her books. I'm going to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Barbara Pym's birth by joining that society, taking part in the reading week hosted by Thomas and Amanda, and -- I hope -- going to the ALS meeting in Oxford which will be hosted by the Barbara Pym Society in June.
While I'm telling you things, I'd better add that I shall be joining the ranks of the unemployed in May, since the funding for my job has been axed. Despite having known that it was likely to happen sooner or later, it still managed to be something of a blow - at 58, the prospect of job-hunting is rather daunting, and one of the reasons I had stayed for a long time in an interesting but poorly paid job was that it allowed me freedom to work from home in recent years, making it easier to visit elderly parents at the other end of the country, or to be here when my husband goes through one of the bad patches which can leave him pretty much immobilised. So I'm planning to freelance as a copyeditor, proofreader and typesetter (work which I've been doing in my spare time for years), but also to develop a more creative role as well. As a result, time for blogging may become a bit limited over the coming months -- I'd like to do more in the garden, too, after nearly 20 years of being unavailable just when most needs doing. Generally by the time I get out there each year the weeds are waist height and my motivation shrivels!
Finally, since it's the start of the year I think we're due for another gratuitous dog picture. Well, we'd better have two, actually, or else Senior Dog will be miffed, which is outrageous, really, since if you so much as try to take a sneaky pic with a phone she is instantly sitting two feet in front of you with a cheesy grin, so it's impossible to get arty shots, or even, as yesterday, an appealing picture of them lying back to back in front of the fire, maximising warmth. In these two my son was experimenting with a new camera last year and both dogs had got rather bored, although Princess Sniffy (aka The Bolter) knows that cameras only exist so that she can be admired by more people. (Yes, I know she's a plain little whippet-y lurcher, but she thinks it's the face that launched a thousand ships, hence the Garbo-esque expression...). Senior Dog is just lying there thinking, "I'm eighty-two, you know...".

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP) recently announced the findings of a ZoneAlarm survey, which revealed that 79 percent of consumers use risky password construction practices, such as including personal information and words. The survey also revealed that 26 percent of respondents reuse the same password for important accounts such as e-mail, banking or shopping and social networking sites. In addition, nearly 8 percent admit to copying an entire password found online in a listing of "good" passwords. Given these numbers, it's no wonder that 29 percent of respondents had their own e-mail or social network account hacked, and that over half (52 percent) know someone who has had a similar problem.
The first step a hacker will take when attempting to break into a computer or secure account is try to guess the victim's password. Automated programs are also available to repeatedly guess passwords from a database of common words and other information. Once a hacker gains access to one account, almost 30 percent of the time that information can be used to access other sites that contain financial data such as bank account numbers and credit card information.
"Consumers need to be aware of the importance of passwords and the fact that hackers are getting more and more sophisticated in cracking them," said Bari Abdul, vice president of consumer sales at Check Point. "By creating a unique password for each important account, consumers create the first line of defense against online thieves who can't wait to gain access to critical data for financial gain."
To ensure consumers stay safe online, here are a few tips for creating a strong password.

Star Trek: Enterprise - M.A.C.O. is the re-launch of the cancelled Star Trek: Enterprise – Temporal Cold War (E:TCW) single-player Half-Life 2 modification, now based on CryTek's CryEngine 3 technology. By learning from the mistakes we made during the development of E:TCW and utilizing the majority of the modeling and texturing assets created for its predecessor, we are confident that production will move forward at a far greater speed than the last attempt. Storywise, STE:M aspires to showcase the character-based storytelling format of E:TCW in small, one-hour episodes; gameplay-wise however, it embraces the formula used in the Elite Force series of video games offering both linear combat levels and free roam sections to let players explore the NX-01 Enterprise within reasonable bounds.
PLEASE NOTE: All 4 files need to be downloaded before decompressing the files. All of the props created by TripTucker (Nenad) and myself, CS (Kurt) If used, please give credit to those who produced them. Thanks.
