Average power densities continue to rise in data centers, and are affecting the lifespan of existing data center facilities, according to new survey data from Emerson Network Power. A majority of data centers say they will run out of capacity within two years, suggesting a wave of expansions is in the pipeline.
Thirteen percent of the members of Emerson's Data Center User Group (DCUG) said the average power density in their data centers was 12 kilowatts a cabinet or higher, with five participants reporting average power loads exceeding 20 kw a cabinet. Eleven percent reported average densities between 8 and 12 kw, while the largest group of users - 36 percent - cited loads of 4 to 8 kw per rack.
Short on Power, Not Space
The survey reinforces the prevailing wisdom that data centers are running out of power before they run out of physical space. Thirty four percent of respondents cited power as the primary factor limiting data center capacity, while just 14 percent cited floor space.
The results underscore the need for many data center operators to expand their data center operations to add additional capacity. Fifty six percent of DCUG members said they expect to run out of data center capacity by 2011, with another 18 percent projecting capacity constraints by 2013.
But decisions about how to expand are being shaped by the difficult economy and companies' desire to conserve cash. This has boosted interest and colocation and wholesale "plug and play" data center space, while suppressing new data center construction.
Smaller and Smarter
Emerson says capacity-strapped data center operators are likely to respond by building smaller and smarter, while using hardware refreshes to improve their power density and squeeze more capacity out of a smaller facility.
"Data center professionals are discovering the efficiency gains enabled by high-density environments," Emerson notes in its analysis. "Sixty-three percent of the respondents to the fall 2009 DCUG survey indicated they plan to make their next data center new build or expansion a high-density (>10kW/rack) facility."
Availability A Growing Concern
But energy efficiency isn't the only motivator. Emerson also said that a series of high-profile data center outages in 2009 have heightened the focus on uptime, and are influencing decisions about tradeoffs between availability and energy efficiency.
Fifty six percent of the members of Emerson's DCUG cited availability as their chief concern, up from 41 percent just six months ago, the company reports. Emerson attributes this to media coverage of data center outages in 2009.
"High availability is no longer considered an insurance policy," said Chuck Spears, presidnet of Emerson's Liebert product line in North America. "One significant outage can wipe out years of savings achieved through incremental efficiency improvements. As we look ahead to the next decade, data center design and management must enter a new stage of maturity where organizations can reduce costs and improve efficiency without potentially risking performance."
In examining potential tradeoffs between availability and efficiency, Emerson highlighted differences in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), noting the availability advantages of online double-conversion UPS configurations. This emphasis is not without its competitive considerations, as Emerson competitiors are highlighting higher efficiency UPS power efficiencies though the use of multiple operating modes.

The Long Blondes - Couples
- Camilla Pia
- 27 March 2008
(Rough Trade)
This Sheffield fivesome have always seemed rather clinical, their debut Someone to Drive You Home sounding a little too self-aware and over-thought at times. However, with this Erol Alkan-produced second effort they have got the musical recipe just right; a remarkable blend of disco, electronica and gritty discordant guitars, it manages to evoke His'n'Hers-era Pulp, Blondie, Joy Division, David Bowie's Low and Grace Jones all at the same time.
Couples is dark, brooding and sultry – focusing on relationships past and present with clever compelling lyrics and snappy pop culture references – and although there are fewer of the outfit's trademark instantaneously catchy tracks this time around, the record claws its way under your skin from first listen. Courageous and sublime.

Lessons in Success: #12 Measure what you want to Improve
Wed, 04/11/2012 - 8:21pm | by monicadear
Measuring a benchmark always improves it. This is *always* true if you're focused on attaining your goals. Whatever you measure is going to improve: so, if you want to improve, measure the correct number!
What is your correct number to measure? This depends on what matters to you.
For example, if you are focusing on increasing your fitness level, which of these would you measure?
A) how many pounds you have dropped?
or B) how many times you worked out?
or C) your target heart rate ?
or D) the number of steps you've taken each day?
or E) all of the above?
The answer to the above depends on your implementation of your health and fitness plan. Some of you might be measuring some other number, like the number of calories you consume each day, or your weight over time.
That said, when you measure something by actually charting it and placing it in a prominent place, you start to put your attention on that measurement and the act that is involved with creating the need for that measurement.
Business owners are very aware of this fact and are constantly checking:
1) profit and loss statements by day, week, month, quarter, and year, as well as
2) balance sheets over time.
Another item to watch is
3) your credit rating or your debt-to-income ration
I would recommend you continue to use a to-do list or a checklist to get your life organized day by day, but I also recommend you implement a checklist that shows you, in graphical format, your progress towards your goals, be they physical, financial, spiritual, health-related, mental, or career-related.
Count everything up and find out what your numbers are telling you!

Psychotherapist - Writer - Public Speaker
Find me here on Facebook
Stella O'Malley is a mental health professional, bestselling author, and public speaker. Much of Stella's counselling and writing focuses on mental health and the importance of well-being and she is a regular contributor to the Irish Independent and the Sunday Independent. Stella's first highly acclaimed book, 'Cotton Wool Kids', was released in 2015 and her new bestseller 'Bully-Proof Kids: Practical tools to help kids grow up confident, resilient and strong' was released in 2017. In 2018, Stella was the presenter of the controversial Channel 4 documentary 'Trans - Kids: It's Time To Talk'. She's currently working on her new book 'Fragile': Why are we feeling more anxious and overwhelmed than ever before', which focuses on overcoming anxiety and will be released by Gill Books in March 2019.
'Bully-Proof Kids'
When you're a child, tween or teen, the social scene can be difficult to handle. Some kids haven't yet developed the social skills to be able to cope confidently in this toxic world where bullies won't let up, worried victims are ashamed to tell and bystanders don t act to help the situation. 'Bully-Proof Kids' gives parents – and kids – the tools to break the cycle by examining the factors that contribute to bullying: the school environment; the personalities of those involved; and the often-overlooked role of bystanders.
In this new book, Stella describes what determines whether your child may become a victim, a bystander or a bully and offers concrete strategies to help you empower your children to be socially competent and deal with bullying both online and in school.
'Cotton Wool Kids'
'Cotton Wool Kids' exposes the truth behind the scary stories and gives parents the information and the confidence to free themselves from the treadmill of after-school activities and over-supervision that has become common today. Parents are provided with strategies to learn how to handle the relentless pressure from society and the media to provide a 'perfect' childhood, and instead to raise their children with a more relaxed and joyful approach.
This highly acclaimed book reveals the media-fuelled madness of paranoid parenting and describes how a more relaxed attitude to raising children can lead to happier, healthier families.

Have fun and stay safe, British Consulate-General Brussels tells students in Belgium
Many hundreds of British students come to Belgium to study every year, either in an exchange program or independently.
For the vast majority, this will be an amazing and life-changing experience.
However, every year our Consular staff are approached by students who are having a tough time. Unforeseen events happen all the time, of course, but prior planning can often make a real difference when problems crop up.
Brussels consular staff have used their experience with real-life difficulties and tragedies to put together tips for exchange students:
Our top tips
Renting a flat? If you're asked to pay a deposit by cash money transfer, be wary - does the flat actually exist? We talk to people every year who have been a victim of scams like this one.
What about health cover? It's not free in Belgium. You'll need your European Health Insurance Card and arrange health/travel insurance before you start your course. Talk to the human resources department of your Belgium University about this. "Don't wait until it's to late, as you may have to pay for your medical costs up front" says Pro-Consul Gary Walsh.
If things do go wrong, you may need to be medically repatriated back to the UK. Does your health/travel insurance cover this?
Be safe when you go out! Back home, your friends would be there to make sure you get home safely –is that the case here?
Alcohol. We're not going to tell you not to drink (that probably won't work!) But do make sure that you drink sensibly. Never leave your glass unattended and always be alert if someone offers to buy you a drink that you don't know.
Watch out for misunderstandings – does that guy (or girl) understand what you're saying? Does he (or she) understand that you've said no?
A big city is a big city! Remain vigilant and use common sense, just as you would at home. Keep a copy of your passport in your wallet and leave your passport in a safe place.
Draw up a budget and stick to it. You may have more euros than pounds, but they'll go just as fast. Belgium has 3 official languages: Dutch, French and German. Why not try to learn one here!
If you do run into trouble, your university should have a person who you could talk to about it.
Where can you find more?
Follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook we publish all sorts of helpful tips for Brits in Belgium.
Here is a list of Emergency Numbers – put them on your phone!!!
The Belgian Embassy in the UK might be able to provide more information.
The Community Help Service is an anonymous and confidential 24-hour Crisis and Information telephone service.
The Brussels British Community Association website has details of all sorts of English-speaking associations that may be of assistance (or that you might like to join!)
If things do go wrong
If you are in need of emergency assistance, call us on +32 (0)2 287 62 11 (24hrs a day, 7 days a week).

By now, your baby has developed enough coordination to grasp with the fingers. If shown a bright light, your baby may turn toward it in your uterus.
He or she continues to gain weight — developing fat at the rate of half an ounce (14 grams) a day. In general, boys weigh more than girls at birth.
After this week, you may lose the mucus plug that sealed off your uterus to protect it from infection. The mucus plug (which can be lost a few weeks, days, or hours before labor) can be clear, pink, yellowish, or tinged with blood (this is called "the bloody show"). As the cervix dilates in preparation for birth, the plug is discharged from the body. Be sure to speak with your health care provider about any discharge you have.

Jim and Karen Kopriva's ranch, which they operate with their son, Lee, and daughter, Angela, is located near Raymond and consists of approximately 2,000 acres. Initially, the Koprivas were grain farmers but made the transition to grassland and hayland over the past decade. Today, just 130 acres are no-tilled and cropped. The remaining acreage consists of native rangeland, seeded pastures and hayland. The Koprivas utilize rotational grazing, which includes cross fencing and water developments, such as two rural water pipelines designed to utilize geothermal heat to provide ice-free water for cattle in remote areas. The family uses controlled burns to combat invasive species. They also graze cover crops and crop residue, taking pressure off of their pastures, reducing costs and dependence on harvested and purchased feed. The Koprivas enhance wildlife habitat on their ranch by leaving some acres on each quarter of their land for wildlife-friendly enhancements.

TechSmith SnagIt 2018.2.1 Build 1590 A new version of a fairly powerful program was released, which can capture images displayed on your monitor screen, you can use clear tools to take a screenshot. This program runs under OS Windows and Mac OS, on the official site you can find a version for this operating system, interested I recommend to download SnagIt from our project in full news.
Note that with this application you can grab graphic images, separately selected text, you can even record video and capture the web pages you are interested in even if you want to scroll down. To capture text and images in any program, as well as menu objects, was not as simple as with this tool, which does not require a long study. SnagIt works with applications using DirectDraw, Direct3D and of course DirectX, in such programs it is not difficult to make a screenshot, after this picture can be processed immediately. You can capture text and graphics from different types of files, even you can work with DOS screen and clipboard.
SnagIt, if you want, can extract icons and different graphics from DLL and EXE files, it's quite convenient when you need to quickly extract images of different kinds. If you have a scanner, video or camera, you can get images from these devices, you just need to connect them to your computer and start the program, then I think you can figure it out. Of course, for work SnagIt uses hot keys that can be configured in detail for themselves, there is also a timer, which at the right time will take a picture or put on record. Note that the utility can automatically, after the image, text or video is captured, apply the built-in filters.
On this, SnagIt's capabilities do not end, the program is actually quite powerful. It is worth highlighting the ability to intercept images or text that should be output to the printer, this is possible by installing a virtual printer in the system. The built-in editor will allow you to change the image before you save it, you can of course skip this step, then the image will be immediately saved without editing. The batch mode of converting graphics among themselves is also built in. I think this can be considered a complete review, I wish everyone successful use of the program, I hope it is useful to you, if anything, leave your comments.

State may refer to:
State.ie (formerly State Magazine) is an Irish website and formerly a monthly music magazine, which launched in April 2008 and ceased to print in January 2009 having published a total of ten issues. The magazine continues online and was voted Best Music Site in 2008 and Best Web Publication in 2010 in the Irish Web Awards. Originally the concept of the magazine involved a hard copy of which there was a charge to purchase, however after six issues it was decided to make the magazine's content free both online and in print. The first issue, April 2008, appeared on Irish shelves on 6 March 2008 and featured Michael Stipe of R.E.M. on the cover. This immediately garnered comparisons between the new magazine's similarities with Hot Press who featured Stipe on their cover at the same time, a move widely thought to be an attempt by Hot Press to stifle State's status as a serious 'alternative' to the more established local magazine. At a price of €5.50, State charged €2 more than Hot Press.
State was a station on the Englewood Branch of the Chicago 'L'. The station opened on November 3, 1905 and closed on September 2, 1973 as part of a group of budget-related CTA station closings.
A vehicle (from Latin: vehiculum) is a mobile machine that transports people or cargo. Most often, vehicles are manufactured, such as wagons, bicycles, motor vehicles (motorcycles, cars, trucks, buses), railed vehicles (trains, trams), watercraft (ships, boats), aircraft and spacecraft.
Land vehicles are classified broadly by what is used to apply steering and drive forces against the ground: wheeled, tracked, railed or skied. ISO 3833-1977 is the standard, also internationally used in legislation, for road vehicles types, terms and definitions.
"Vehicle" is the one-hit wonder success for the Chicago-based band The Ides of March. It rose to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the week of May 23, 1970. It is purported to be the fastest selling single in Warner Bros. Records history.
Written and sung by Jim Peterik, the song features a distinctive horn section riff that is still popular today. The song is often mistaken for the horn driven sound of Blood, Sweat and Tears which was popular in the same time range. Peterik wrote "Vehicle" as a joke.
Fourteen seconds of the completed "Vehicle" master tape (primarily the guitar solo) was accidentally erased in the recording studio. The missing section was spliced in from a previously discarded take.
The song was used in a 2014 commercial for Hardee's restaurants.
Vehicle is the first full-length studio album by New Zealand group The Clean. It was released in 1990 by Flying Nun and Rough Trade Records. Much of the material was written for the band's reunion tour in the late 1980s. Rough Trade founder Geoff Travis offered to record The Clean after seeing them play in London, after which Vehicle was produced during a three-day session. The album was engineered by Ken Kennedy and notable producer Alan Moulder, who was suggested by Travis.
The front cover artwork is a painting by band member David Kilgour.
All songs written by David Kilgour, Hamish Kilgour, and Robert Scott.

How to Write the Last Sentence in a Paper
In this Article:Writing HelpChoosing a Type of EndingPolishing Your Last SentenceMistakes to AvoidCommunity Q&A8 References
"All's well that ends well", but many writers consider the ending the most difficult part of a paper. The best final sentences are memorable, communicate a sense of closure, and might tantalize with a hint of larger topics or implications. There are many ways to accomplish these goals, so consider your options before deciding which one matches your essay best.
Writing Help
Part 1
Choosing a Type of Ending
1Consider a "big picture" ending. Pulling back to reveal the larger context can be useful for a complex topic. If you are critiquing a book, mention changes in society or writing that the book reflects. If you are discussing an issue, tell people why the issue is important.
- Example: "Without a detailed understanding of Tolstoy's personal ideology, the reader can only guess at the meaning behind his work."
- Example: "At a time of record stray populations, these questions of house cat care have never been more urgent."
2Discuss possible consequences or implications. If you're out of ideas on how to continue your topic, ask yourself, "So what?" Why should the reader care about your conclusion? What's the next step your argument could lead to? Answer this question in the final sentences of your paper.
3Weigh in on controversy. For an essay that lays out and examines a controversial topic, the conclusion may be the best place to include your own opinion. Write your own "editorial" on the topic, but make sure to stay grounded in the evidence. For an especially dramatic ending, warn the reader, or make a "call to action."
- Example: "If no work is done to prevent these concussions, the sport does not deserve a place in our schools."
4End by describing an image. Visual description can be more memorable than analysis or further arguments. Try describing a person or scene related to the paper's topic, especially if the topic provokes emotional reaction.[1]
5Use humor. The final sentence usually provides a sense of closure or completion, but it often includes a small twist as well to set the reader thinking, or to provoke an emotional reaction. A joke or an ironic statement can be a great way to include that twist. This is not suitable for all paper topics and styles, though, so don't force this if you tend to write with a more serious or straightforward tone.
Part 2
Polishing Your Last Sentence
1Consider using short words for strong effect. A sentence composed of short words, especially words one syllable long, often feels dramatic and final. This tactic isn't mandatory, but it works especially well for a call to action or a warning.[2]
- Similarly, a direct, simple sentence will often feel "punchier" than one with many sub-clauses and commas.
2Reference your introduction or title. Ending in a similar place to your introduction is one of the most common ways to create an appealing, "symmetric" essay. The key here is not to reiterate a point you already made, but to reference your earlier writing as part of a new point.[3] Try using the title of your paper, a short phrase from a quote in your introduction, or an important term you define in the introduction.
3Use a memorable phrase. A short, memorable phrase can help your essay stick in the reader's mind.[4] Try working a common idiom into your final sentence, or a short quotation.
- Try to keep quotations to no more than a few words in your final sentence. It's difficult to end the paper gracefully and on-topic when you're not using your own words.
4Organize it with parallel structure. Writers and orators often build up to a major point using a set of three parallel phrases. Your audience is conditioned to hear this, and will associate it with a sense of completion. Here are some examples of possible final sentences using parallel structure:
- "For the settlers who founded these farms, the people who work there, and the animals who are raised there, it's time to fight."
- "We shall celebrate Janet Smith's novels for years to come, for their unique characters, inimitable poetry, and inspiring messages."
Part 3
Mistakes to Avoid
1Cut redundant phrases. Your reader will have already noticed that this is the last sentence. There's no need to mention it using "in conclusion," "in summary," or similar phrases.[5] Remove these from the entire last paragraph for a more straightforward, punchy conclusion.
2Be cautious when summarizing. If your essay is five pages or shorter, try to avoid summarizing or repeating your main points in the conclusion paragraph. Your reader doesn't need to be reminded of what she just read, and this dry lead-in makes it difficult to write an inspiring or interesting final sentence.
3Be cautious about bringing up a new topic. The last paragraph is no place to bring up a new topic, right before you jump ship and leave your reader to figure it out himself.[6] If your last sentence mentions a topic you haven't already discussed, delete it and try again. You can make an exception if your conclusion paragraph ties your paper's topic into the broader world around it, but be careful to keep your writing relevant to your thesis.
- Ending in a question can be tough for this reason, since questions often introduce new ideas. A rhetorical question can serve as a final sentence, but it's best to rephrase it as a statement if you have any doubts.
4Move evidence to earlier paragraphs. You might find the perfect statistic to support your point, but it still belongs earlier on in the paper. Similarly, don't end with a quotation that you're only including to back up your argument. If you do use a quotation, select one that produces inspiration or dramatic effect on its own.
5Avoid changing tones dramatically. Emotional, dramatic endings are fun to write, but that doesn't mean they're always correct. An analytic paper that carefully examines evidence and argues a logical point has no reason for a final sentence full of emotional outburst, praise, or condemnation.[7]
- This often turns up in the form of praising a country, "overcoming injustice," or other appeals to broad phenomena not specifically related to the paper topic.
6Don't apologize. Keep your last sentence, and your entire essay, strong and direct. Remove apologies, self-doubts, and other phrases that undermine your authority.[8] If you didn't have time to cover a topic, don't mention it and don't apologize for it; your essay is what it is, and it's up to your readers to decide whether they like it.
7Writing famous quotes in the end just takes your essay to another standard. It also helps a little in covering the mistakes you might have made in the last paragraph or maybe even throughout your whole essay.

Hopefully this isn't your first year playing fantasy football, but if it is – get ready to meet your leaguemates. If you have played before and can't identify a person in your league with a certain character, you probably are that character.
The Astronaut
Call Mission Control: This space cadet can't seem to figure out it's his turn now, and Adrian Peterson was taken 10 picks ago. You might as well draft for him.
The Insider
Somehow he knows about the one time a QB2/WR3 played together at a camp in college, and totally lit it up. And somehow his prediction that these two will click and launch themselves to QB1/WR1 status by week 3, comes true. He does this every year.
The Unfortunate One
This is generally a commissioner who has run the league for years, but never found a way to win. Each year he puts in solid research, has a strong team, but always drafts the best player to miss 8 weeks of the season and cost him a decent playoff seed. But don't worry; this is gonna be "his year."
The Muncher
This is the guy who knew exactly where he wanted to have his draft. His cheat sheets are covered in wing sauce. He uses his sleeve as a napkin, and his version grazing looks more like feast mode than anything else. Of course when you draft at Wild Wing Cafe, how can you blame him?
The Hater
You're drafting ninth, but somehow Aaron Rodgers is still on the table. After selecting him, this guy has the next pick. Suddenly he's claiming you made a terrible pick because of Rodgers' performance in a social media video with his girlfriend. He'll say anything to belittle everyone's decision making.
The Envious One
"MAN, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO PICK THAT GUY!" Every. Single. Round.
The Against-the-Grain One
"This is the year, man, Sam Bradford is finally going to be a top 5 QB, I can feel it." This and other sentiments about dramatically underachieving players will follow each of their picks.
The Fluke Champ
For one year, this person looked like an absolute wizard. They forever live in that one glory year. Since going 18-1 and winning the league, they're 5-59.
The Bro
He drafts Gronk in the first round. Makes sense. Then in the second round, he selects Johnny Manziel. Quickly, everyone realizes this dude is just drafting the all-party team.
The Science Guy
This genius built an algorithm that drafts for him and sets his lineup each week. He's basically a cyborg. He finishes first or second every year. Robots are taking over; not just industry, but fantasy too.
When you have your draft at Wild Wing Cafe, we've got just the wild you need, no matter what role you play in your league. Get free food, draft kits, and more. Visit our website WildWingCafe.com/DraftParty to reserve a draft party today.

Is the site of somebody cycling while talking on their mobile phone a common site in the capital?
Londonist can't remember having ever seen anyone even attempting such an audacious feat, but apparently it's so much of a problem that the Tories are tabling an amendment to the Road Safety Bill which would, "make cyclists liable for the same fines as drivers for using a mobile"
Can't disagree with that really. If you're stupid enough to have a conversation on a telephone while navigating the horrors of Vauxhall Cross or the death-trap that is Parliament Square then you probably deserve everything you get.
And anyway, whenever Londonist cycles we're too out of breath to even shout obscenities at car drivers, never mind have a civilised phone conversation.
Just who are these cretins who want the right to use their phone while cycling anyway? Oh...we could have guessed: Boris Johnson.
Two years ago Boris was " upbraided by a woman cyclist as he wobbled along an Islington street on his bike with a phone to his ear". He then used his newspaper column to call her "the kind of bossy Islingtonian female who becomes a health minister in the new Labour Government" (the woman turned out to be a Tory voter).
He also wrote (in the Johnson tradition of not using 3 words when 25 will do): "Just as I will never vote to ban hunting, so I will never vote to abolish the free-born Englishman's timehallowed and immemorial custom, dating back as far as 1990 or so, of cycling while talking on a mobile."
In an interview with London Cyclist magazine earlier this month Johnson defended his viewpoint, saying, "If I was a one-armed cyclist you wouldn't kick me off my bicycle, and I'm just doing something with my free arm, aren't I?
Londonist hereby swears that if we ever see Johnson trundling around the streets of London we will do our very best to "kick him off his bicycle".

I was long overdue a little visit to Lush. My desire to purchase some goodies escalated further when news broke that some of the exclusive Oxford St products would be available at the Reading branch. Que me hot stepping it along to Reading to see what they had in store, obviously I was going to part with some of my hard earned cash if they were stocking the items I had my eye on…
They were.
Say hello to The Comforter shower cream -250g (£9.50). Oh this product smells so heavenly! Do I really need to say much more? I'm sure you are all familiar with The comforter bubble bar. That huge, swirly crumbly goodness that helps produce masses of bubbles in your bath, whilst filling your bathroom with its gorgeous scent. Well Lush answered our prayers & have provided us with it in shower cream form so we don't have to be without it even when we only have a few minutes to jump in the shower. I'm yet to use this with a poof loofah thing but using it straight from the bottle I am a little disappointed as there isn't much of a lather! However the fact the scent lingers in my bathroom is enough to keep me happy so swings and roundabouts eh!
Another of the Oxford St exclusives I had to pop into my basket was the Intergalactic bath bomb (£3.95) Now, I don't know about you but a lot of the time I chose products from lush based on what they either smell like or look like, in this case it was the latter. Having seen videos on Youtube & photos on Instagram of said bath bomb I had to buy it in order to experience it myself. I'm not usually a bath person but it just had to be done.
Keeping with the theme of having a bath, I wanted to purchase a classic bath bomb which falls under the category of many a blogger favourite, Butterball (£2.65). One of cheaper bath bombs lush offer it's not surprising it's a best seller, jam packed full of cocoa butter and Ylang Ylang oil. Your skin will thank you for popping this one into your bath, it leaves your skin feeling very soft and nourished. Just what you need after a little too long in the sun, or in the colder months when your skin tends to get a little drier.
Finally one of the other reasons I wanted to pop along to Lush was to get myself another pot of the BIG shampoo (£12.25). Now this shampoo was one of the first things I reviewed on this blog. The post is still there, but I wont link it because it is just far too cringeworthy! I do stand by what I said in that post and that is that I do class this more as a clarifying shampoo over a volumising one. Maybe I don't use it properly (is there more than 1 way to shampoo your hair?) but I don't see as much volume in my hair after use as others claim to have had. Regardless, I do love it, and even though it is a bit pricey for the size, a little goes a long way so it will last you a decent amount of time!
Have you been to Lush at all recently? Maybe you've tried some of the Oxford St exclusives. Let me know in the comments!
Much love,

Location: Winding Brook Conference Center - 8240 S. Genuine Road, Shepherd, MI 48883
This event is in the past.
Friday's Conference is SOLD OUT. Our apologies. If you have a registration question, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Join MCTE on Friday, February 2, 2018, at the Winding Brook Conference Center (8240 S. Genuine Road, Shepherd, Michigan 48883) as Dr. April Baker-Bell guides us in a day of professional learning around teaching and race. Literacy instruction from kindergarten through university often acts as a focal point for discussions and learning about race in America. Reading breeds empathy, but how can ELA teachers address this work? The topic of race isn't easy to cover, but that doesn't mean we should avoid it. Let's inform our thinking on one of the most critically important topics of our time.
Dr. April Baker-Bell is an assistant professor at Michigan State University and chair of NCTE's Promising Researcher Award selection committee. In her university profile, she says, "In my research, I strive to present the fields in which I work guidance for rethinking the linguistic and racial deficit theories that underpin and shape our disciplinary discourses, pedagogical practices, and approaches to qualitative inquiry."

Faces Of Evil?
Pictures Can Be Black & White, Reality Isn't
"It is easy to ignore responsibility when one is only an intermediate link in a chain of action." — Stanley Milgram
While it would be easy to look at the pictures of Auschwitz guards (released by Poland's Institute of National Remembrance) and write the people off as monsters and psychopaths, it's far harder to imagine yourself as being capable of the very same thing.
Especially if people in positions of authority tell you to do it, and you're not sure what the consequences of not obeying might be. Either for yourself, your family, or your friends.
Most of you have probably heard of Stanley Milgram's experiment on obedience. If you haven't, you can check it out on YouTube:
Now, you might think yourself to be immune to this. But you're getting to view it from a distance. What if I told you that you might be making these kinds of decisions each and every day? Not in leaps and bounds, but in small increments.
Let's say you're working as a store clerk. It's right after the holidays, a customer comes up to you and asks for a refund. You notice that it's 9 days after the purchase and the return policy is only valid for 8 days.
The customer says that there was no way for them to return it in time because it was given as a Christmas gift, and the shop was closed.
At the core of it, you have two basic choices:
- Tell the customer: "I get it, but them's the rules. Nothing I can do."
- Tell the customer: "Naturally, we'll make an exception."
Don't get me wrong, I believe rules and laws are good to have. It's just that when people put rules and laws ahead of critical thinking, that's when it gets dangerous.
Of course we all want to ensure the safety of ourselves, family, and friends.
But here's where it gets grey. What if it stands between that and the safety of our fellow human beings?
What do we do when we're faced with that choice? Do we say that there's a bigger issue at hand here, and face the consequences? Or do we say "better them than me"?
Those choices aren't easy, and I'm not going to pretend they are. But each and every one of us has to make that decision.
And we have to make that decision without saying: "Well, the rules/boss says…"
Let me make one thing clear as well. It's not about the few people at the top or at the edges who are going to make decisions about what kind of world we live in.
It's the ~70% of people in the middle.
Most people are moderate, but are being pushed and pulled to pick sides. And when the scales tip toward one side or the other, they tend to go along with it.
Therein lies the danger.
Just because you voted one way or the other doesn't mean you have to swallow every single choice they make or every single rule they make up.
You're allowed to voice your concerns, in some way it's your duty.
History will judge you, no matter how much you say you "just followed orders".
You're responsible for your actions.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this article. Please leave a comment, heart, and follow for more.
Have a kick-ass ₢eative day!

I love the Before and After puzzles on Wheel of Fortune. John Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Caspian Sea of Love. Scrapbook Crop Circles.
I'm going to a crop tonight (yay!), which often makes me think of the crop circle I saw in 1996. It was one of the craziest things I've ever seen. To this day, I don't know if it was real or if my brother and his crazy friends made it. Both are plausible.
People came from all around the world to see it and study it. Here are some excerpts I found on the Internet about it today:
Elevated levels of radioactivity were measured ... and many electromagnetic field effects also reported.
The soil inside the circle was baked dry, and large cracks had formed in the ground; outside the circle the soil was still moist and normal.
This circle formation still stands as one of the most famous, well-researched, and most well-visited crop circles (over 10,000 visitors in the 1st two weeks) in the USA.
What are your thoughts on crop circles? Or scrapbooking. Or John Legend.

Crafting for a cause
These newborn caps are for the Caps to Cap-Haitien Project, organised by Mama to Mama. The caps are for newborns and will be included in safe birthing kits to be distributed by traditional birthing attendants in Northern Haiti.
Amanda of Soule Mama set up Mama to Mama to promote simple ways that us crafty people can use our skills to improve the lives of others. The newborn cap project is the first Mama to Mama project. If you'd like to learn more or get involved, you can read about the project and find the pattern for the caps here. The caps are easy to make and are meant to be made from old tshirts, so it's a good way to recycle/repurpose and spread some handmade love at the same time. The project is also asking for cotton receiving blankets. Instructions are on the same site. The caps and blankets are due in Maine, USA by 10th December.
1 comment:
We're about to go through our suitcases as we unpack- maybe I should set adise a stack of shirts to turn into these caps. Thanks for motivating me!

Daughter-in-law has the shower curtain, which she loves, and thought I'd get the hand towel to go with it. Didn't give it to her. The photo shows the entire towel, not what it looks like folded. When folded you only see some of the "splatters" on the bottom. If you turn it around the zebra's head is upside down. The way it's currently being produced, it isn't a suitable image for a hand towel.

Beginners' Guide To Fantasy Auto Racing
An der 85. Generalversammlung der Einkaufsorganisation für das Schweizer Auto- und Motorfahrzeuggewerbe (ESA) in Interlaken trat Dr. Martin Plüss nach 22 Jahren als ESA-Verwaltungsratspräsident ab. Zu seinem Nachfolger wurde alt-Nationalrat Markus Hutter (59) gewählt. Not only the vehicles but also the newest news of automobile market along with the newly invented functions of them is presented in this space. Only 2 {59142abd3c878277b1b465d70728e2aa132bd05eff8792db46325ca0c96c77b9} of western Europe has public water fluoridation (mainly in the UK) and it has been reported that their children have teeth that are as healthier as these of children in the USA. Autocar India reports that Tata Motors will equip all of the Tiago Aktiv accessories on.
I personal news internet sites and I've also helped consumers to set up theirs the secret to a productive on the web newspaper is to have an ESTABLISHED AUDIENCE and you can only get these audiences from social media ( generally, from Facebook and Twitter). One thing's for sure about Grand Theft Auto 4 – it is brutally realistic in some of the reduce scenes. Right here are 5 global passenger vehicle brands expected to enter India by the finish of the decade. He has a thoughts of his own and is capable of driving himself, and is a critical contender in auto racing competitions.
The auto sector is currently creating 2.15 Million cars, including passenger automobiles, commercial cars, 3-wheelers and two-wheelers in 2013-14 in comparison to 2.06 Million in 2012-13, recording a growth of 4.04{59142abd3c878277b1b465d70728e2aa132bd05eff8792db46325ca0c96c77b9} in a year. With the news of the impending Next Gen version of Grand Theft Auto 5 the following ideas can be applied to either. A private auto mechanic may have a a lot more salty view, and there's a lot to be discovered from that. Upkeep: The only way to win the auto game (a wasting asset) is to own the car longer.
Since we are using WordPress platform, and have just hosted the web site, the subsequent step is to get premium WordPress themes (templates) that will give us the feel and creative design instinct of what a news site must look like. And the auto industry saw a wave of new entrants on the manufacturing side, such as Venture Vehicles, Fisker Automotive, and Miles Automotive. For those who don't remember, the 1st installment of the game that was released in 2012 was set in Colorado with the sequel that was released in 2014 taking spot in Southern Europe. There are hundreds of auto emergency kits on the marketplace at prices ranging from affordable to exorbitant.
Historic Auto Attractions Museum of Illinois has agreed to give Miss Belvedere a permanent house amongst its 75 car collection. The study, as I feel I stated in this report, was carried out by a couple of employees (not scientists by any stretch of the imagination) of a effectively known automobile components and service firm in England – Halford's Auto Centres. We are following up with Google to see how long it requires for their teams to entirely eliminate advertisements from rotation. What you would actually like to accomplish is to get a pre-approved auto loan from them succeed and your problem is solved.

Not much action in stocks…or gold. So, let's go back and see what we've figured out recently. For one thing: The middle class can no longer afford a middle-class lifestyle.
We've also confronted an awkward truth: America is more of an oligarchy than a democracy. A recent university study found that Washington often snubs the will of the democratic majority to serve the desires of the dirty dealing special interest groups.
And we coined a new word — 'poligarchs' — for the teeming masses who enable it.
Former World Bank economist and author Richard Duncan came to visit yesterday. You may recall Duncan has developed an interesting theory about how excess liquidity affects asset markets:
'Milton Friedman said it was the supply of money that mattered. But he based that view on his analysis of the Great Depression. He was right. But about 40 years ago, credit money started to replace real money.
'Now, it's not the supply of currency that matters. It's the supply of credit.'
And here, we simplify Duncan's conclusion: As long as credit is increasing at a healthy rate, markets and GDP go up. When they don't increase, expect recession and bear markets.
Credit expansion began when Ike Eisenhower was still on the golf course. It has been expanding ever since, with more than 50 times as much today as back then. And today, finance and industry — not to mention asset prices — depend on it as though it were cheap beer and cable TV. Cut it off, and the economy goes into a gloomy funk. Says Duncan:
'The Fed knows credit must expand, or we have a depression. And today, debt levels are so high that a depression would be catastrophic. The disaster would be worldwide, not just in the US. And people would die.
'Because a depression in the US would mean tens of millions… maybe hundreds of millions… of people in China and Southeast Asia would lose their jobs. Businesses would go broke. Governments would go broke. People living at the margin – with no savings – would soon be desperate. I don't think our civilization would survive.
'That's why the Fed will not allow a real credit contraction.'
For the moment, the sun still shines and credit is still expanding. Asset prices are still going up. But all that is set to change. Duncan:
'In the third quarter, excess liquidity will fall sharply. We should see much more volatility in asset prices. My guess is that before the end of the year we'll see a disturbing drop in the stock market. The Fed will pause… interrupting its 'taper' program. Then, depending on how markets react, it will probably hint at another QE program for 2015. That should send markets back up.'
Duncan sees the situation much as we do. Up to a point. He sees the dependence on ever-expanding debt. He sees the catastrophe that comes when debt expansion stops. He expects, as we do, that the Fed will respond with more QE.
All right so far. But he lacks our deep cynicism and insensitivity. He sees the tunnel, but he thinks he sees a flicker of light at the end of it.
'Governments can still borrow…and still expand credit. One way or another, they are going to try to keep the credit expansion going. So, instead of throwing money away, they might as well invest in things that might expand future output — new technology, new infrastructure, and new industries.'
Ah…but that ignores the oligarchs, poligarchs and the nature of government. Government's primary concern is not to protect its citizens or their economy. Instead, it aims to transfer more power, status, and wealth to the elite who control it (the oligarchs).
And to do that, it must keep the masses (the poligarchs) sedated. As Charles Hugh Smith, chief writer at OfTwoMinds.com, explains:
'The State has two core mandates: enforce quasi-monopolies and cartels for private capital, and satisfy enough of the citizenry's demands for more benefits to maintain social stability. If the State fails to maintain monopolistic cartels, profit margins plummet and capital is unable to maintain its spending on investment and labor. Simply put, the economy tanks as profits, investment and growth all stagnate. If the State fails to satisfy enough of the citizenry's demands, it risks social instability.'
The feds will be the borrowers of last resort. But the money won't be invested in a brighter future. It will be pilfered and squandered.
And then what?
Tune in tomorrow…

Great Podcast on Shepard Fairey v. The Associated Press
Professor Doug Lichtman (UCLA Law School) has a terrific new episode of IP Colloquium. The show involves a discussion of Shepard Fairey v. The Associated Press, a case involving a copyright dispute about the HOPE poster of Barack Obama. I blogged about the case here and here.
Doug was able to get Mark Lemley (Shepard Fairey's lawyer) and also Dale Cendali (the attorney who represents the AP) to come on the show and talk with him about the case. This was the first time the AP spoke publicly about the case in the news media. Also on the show is Ken Richieri, General Counsel at the New York Times.
Lawyers who listen to IP Colloquium podcasts can earn free CLE credit.
The podcast is well worth a listen — a great sophisticated discussion of fair use.
