Christie offers advanced color
June 18 2008
(California) - Christie, a leader in professional display and visualization solutions, announces the availability of Christie Advanced Color, a new solution to expertly color match projector arrays in advanced visualization and simulation environments.
The latest addition to Christie's TrueIMAGE™ integration solution suite of tools, Advanced Color achieves precise results and uniform color calibration of simple to complex arrayed displays, with minimal training and no expertise required.
The system integrates a precision light meter with Christie's advanced proprietary software to perform calculations of light output measurements. With the handheld light meter pointed at various targets on the projected array, the user captures light output measurements with a simple click. The software's graphic user interface performs the core calculations for precise results and calibrates the projectors to a high level of uniformity for color matching. The color uniformity is maintained until the user chooses to re-tweak the system.
"We put our customers at the center of the process in developing new solutions for today's sophisticated visual displays so they can set the pace and focus on the display, not on maintaining it," notes Larry Paul, senior director, solutions & product management for Christie's Visual Environments division.
"Christie Advanced Color is a unique offering that takes the complexity out of color matching multiple projector arrays – saving on time, resources, maintenance and system downtime, while still delivering expert results.
With no technical expertise required, any number of users can maintain the display."
Christie's suite of TrueIMAGE integration solutions includes the industry breakthrough AutoCal™ automatic display system calibration, and MotoBlend™ motorized optical blending. Christie's advanced solutions offer reduced location resource requirements, increased customer independence in terms of display maintenance, more realistic displays and enhanced visual performance of the complete system.
Christie Advanced Color can be ordered as part of the Christie AutoCal solution or as a standalone option with a Christie integrated display.
All of Christie TrueIMAGE integration solutions are compatible with Christie's current line of Matrix and Mirage 3-chip DLP® projectors.

Just weeks after a noose was found on Western Connecticut State University property, school police are investigating who defaced school property with a swastika.
On Monday, a swastika was found scratched into a concrete floor in a parking garage on campus.
In November 2008, a swastika was drawn in moisture on a car's windshield and another was found carved into a library door.
"Unfortunately, such hateful graffiti appears occasionally in many settings in our society," WCSU President James W. Schmotter said. "We take it seriously when it does here at WCSU, because it is abhorrent to everything for which this university stands. The perpetrators of the 2008 incident were apprehended and disciplined. WCSU police are investigating today's crime as well.
Schmotter who has condemned signs of hate showing up on campus said this does not reflect "the values, beliefs and actions of the great majority of our community."
"I am proud of how students, faculty and staff work together. We celebrate diversity at this university and punish those who commit hate crimes," Schmotter said.
School police ask anyone with information on this incident, or anyone who was in the area of the basement level of the White Street garage between May 8 and May 10, and who could assist in identifying a possible suspect or suspects, to calls the WCSU Police Department at (203) 837-9300.

NEWS & NOTES – January 2019
For Members of the NYS AAP
- Reduce NYS Lead Action Level to 5mg/l
- Require Flu Immunization for infants & toddlers in infant and child care
- Gun Safe Storage Requirements as part of the SAFE Act
- Prohibit Toxic Chemicals from Children's Clothing, Toys & Accessories

The New York State Department of Health is proud to announce that Colleen Mattimore, M.D., of Western New York Pediatric Associates in Orchard Park, New York, has been selected as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Childhood Immunization Champion for New York. CDC and the CDC Foundation hold this annual awards program to honor immunization champions across the 50 U.S. states, 8 U.S. Territories and Freely Associated States, and the District of Columbia during National Infant Immunization Week (April 16-23, 2016).
Dr. Mattimore was nominated and selected from a pool of health professionals, community advocates, and other immunization leaders for making a significant contribution to public health in New York State through her work in childhood immunization.
A pediatrician for 25 years, Dr. Mattimore has played an active role in vaccine advocacy in Western New York for many years. She has trained physicians, nurses and medical students on communicating with vaccine hesitant parents, and has spoken with parents and schools about the importance of childhood vaccines. Dr. Mattimore has previously been recognized by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) New York Chapter 1, by the Western New York Pediatric, Adolescent and Adult Immunization Coalition, and by the Erie County Department of Health for her work to protect the children of Western New York. Eight years ago she established the Vaccine Safety Coalition and successfully launched a vaccine safety public health multi-media campaign.
Young children rely on the champions in their lives to keep them safe and healthy. Champions may be doctors and nurses who share scientifically accurate, up-to-date information about vaccines with parents. They may be advocates who go the extra mile to ensure that all children in their communities have access to vaccines. They may be public health professionals who work behind the scenes tracking immunization data, coordinating vaccine logistics, or developing public awareness campaigns. They may be parents who share their personal stories about vaccination with their communities.
When families, healthcare professionals, and public health officials work together, all children can be protected from serious and deadly vaccine-preventable diseases. Dr. Mattimore is an inspiration to all of us who care about children's health in New York. We are pleased and honored to congratulate her on this well-deserved award.
To read Dr. Mattimore's profile on the CDC's website, and to learn more about CDC's Childhood Immunization Champion Award program, please visit http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/champions.

Wrong selection of electric toolsIt can lead not only to its rapid damage, and inability to perform the work required. When buying it is important to focus on a number of factors - the operating conditions, purpose, future load and more. After analyzing them, you can go to the store to shop power tools.
Apparatuses for household and professional use
The main parameter of the power of choice -people who will use it. It can be applied for domestic use or for professional work execution. In the latter case there is often a need to use the product without interruption under high loads. Therefore, for such a tool special requirements. On the other hand, if the drill is acquired to an apartment or home, it is often used for drilling several holes in the wall. In this case, there is no need for professional equipment, because it is much more expensive, and the model home will fully cope with their tasks.
Determine the electric power
Almost every online storepower offers products that work from 220 Volt or an integrated rechargeable battery. Devices of the first type are more low cost, but they require the presence of the power source nearby. Enlarge the space of their application, you can use an extension cord. If the work will be carried out in rural areas with poor power supply, voltage jump can bring power down.
Storage devices allow you towork autonomously. They can be easily used even where there is no electricity at all. It is important to understand that if the tool will often sit and lie idle, its power supply quickly fail and cease to function.
Safety products
This parameter can be identified two main criteria.
Protection against accidental current. Prevents accidental starting and cause harm to others. To do this, the device has a special button. When it is pressed the instrument starts.
Good electrical insulation. The optimal solution would be the presence of a doubleelectrical insulation, as can be recognized by the marking in the form of double square. This solution involves the use of two layers - one protects the internal components, and the second - the case of the equipment. functions
Often, inexperienced buyers fall formultiprofile trick. An example is a drill with different attachments. This tool can tighten the screws, perform grinding, drilling, thread manufacture and perforate. Such tools if and purchase, it is only to perform one-time operations. In order to perform at a high level some sort of operation, the device design should provide such a possibility.

Show off time really. I've had this game in my head for literally years. Since I was a kid in fact when I had a physical real world version of this, only without the coins, which are my addition as a reason to actually go somewhere.
The idea is that the clock moves along the black lines which represent grooves in the tiles. Click tiles to slide them around. Arrange the tiles to make the clock reach the coins. You can keep sliding the tiles while the clock is moving. You can also slide tiles before you set the clock moving so you get a nice start. But once the clock is moving it keeps going.
This game uses a real line following algorithm that uses 2 sensors, one ahead and one slightly to the left. I wanted for a while to try writing a line following algorithm in Scratch. It's fussy and difficult and mine in this game is far from perfect. Don't try and do this with the kids at Code Club.
Under the line following is a sliding puzzle. This is much easier and uses Scratch version 2's cloning code. So each tile is an instance of the main tile, which is hidden, and each takes care of its own movement. So when you click on one it looks around to see which way it can move. If it can move into an adjacent empty space then it does. Simple. Definitely easy enough to do with the kids. Feel free to steal the code. I'm pretty sure this could be used in a variety of other games.

Whether your project involves wind, solar or communications, when it falls under local jurisdiction the fundamentals for success are the same. Best practices for zoning can be grouped into three categories: Research, Relationships and Record. In this second article of a three part series we take a look at the importance of good relationships.
Build on the foundation by giving close attention to your relationships with stakeholders and decision makers. These relationships will be the channels through which information flows — your outgoing message and incoming feedback that will either reassure or warn you.
Before you start a conversation make sure you are ready to convey enthusiasm about the project, interest in the community and a friendly, helpful manner. Cultivate a supportive relationship with planning staff by understanding the demands on them. What are their internal deadlines? What tasks do they need to complete? A thorough filing and prompt answers to their questions will pay dividends later on when you are forwarded a letter of opposition or tipped off to a board member's concern in advance of the meeting.
Use your local assets. Your landowner's conversations over the fence with neighbors can have a big impact in either direction. Get to know your landowners and find out what they've seen and heard from their neighbors. Make sure supporters are mobilized. A few words of support at a meeting from a motivated landowner, a local economic development director, or some other local stakeholder who can emphasize some of the positives of your project will get attention. These people are their friends, acquaintances, co-workers and neighbors and their comments will carry weight.
Try to identify in advance who is opposed to your project and talk with them about their concerns. Consider minor concessions or changes that will defuse their opposition. Even if you can't make any changes, it will be appreciated by the decision makers that you made a good-faith effort to hear and address concerns.
Show respect at every opportunity. Attend neighborhood meetings. Know enough about the community to reference local landmarks and issues and pronounce names right. Don't over or under dress (business casual usually strikes the right balance in rural to mid-sized communities). Conduct yourself as if you will be back in a year or two with another application. It can happen and you will be remembered. If the decisionmakers aren't comfortable with you or your project there is less incentive for them to stick their neck out and make the decision you want.
Ralph Wyngarden is Zoning Director at Faulk & Foster. He has served wind and solar developers and wireless telecommunications providers in markets across the country for the past nine years and is responsible for the development and maintenance of best practices for zoning and permitting for Faulk & Foster's telecommunications and energy departments.

I went up into the attic in search of trash to fill our garbage can. The trash gets collected early on Thursday ´morning so on Wednesday, I often search the house and yard for eyesores that we would be better off without. This goes best when no one else is home so they cannot raise objections.
This particular trip to the attic yielded the huge unwieldy mess pictured above. It is the last remnant of a terrain park that my third son build in his room about 6 years ago. It was for remote control ATVs to be driven at speed over. He used a hot glue gun to attach huge amounts of styrofoam to a cardboard under structure. Then he used liquid insulation to build up mass. It occupied about a 8ft by 6 ft by 6 ft area of his luckily large bedroom for about 6 months. Like many of the large amazing things that got built in our house during twenty years of homeschooling four kids, I do not recollect much about it getting used. The kids were builders and "makers" to use the recently coined appelation. (Except for maybe my middle son who seemed to direct play for hours as long as it involved some kind of proft margin gor himself.)
At some point, terrain-park son wanted to reclaim the space in his room and relegated the terrain mess to the attic, which is also very large. There, it provided spacious housing and a wonderful defecation landscape for mice. The mice also snacked on the cardboard so that by the time I began removing chunks at a time, I needed a broom to sweep up the bits and deteriorated materials. I had waited a nice long time; about 5 years before I began the slow removal. Today was the first time my 18 year old son saw me relegating any bit of it to the garbage….and all he said rather happily was, "Oh man, that was lit, making that thing."

I've never been able to hear well. As a child, I was in and out of the hospital as doctors struggled to treat chronic ear infections that left me in throbbing pain and, eventually, relative silence. By the time I went to college, I had only one half-functioning ear drum and no hope of regaining the hearing I'd lost after years of damage. Surgery was too risky, the doctors said. This year, I decided to take the risk, and the results were extraordinary.
My Life of Quiet
Being partially deaf is an interesting experience. It turned my life into a guessing game, where I would wonder if I should do semi-dangerous things like ride a bike in New York City for fear that I might not hear a car behind me. I couldn't swim because water would leak into my inner ear. Social engagements were, well, challenging. At work, everyone thought I was a big grump—"brusque" was the word my boss used—because I usually couldn't hear what anybody was saying in meetings and failed to react. Dates were hilarious, especially when I met soft-spoken women in crowded bars.
I got pretty good at reading lips. I got great at nodding and smiling. I found myself always retreating into music, because good ear buds would pump sound waves straight past my broken ear drums, past those tiny bones, and straight to my brain by way of the auditory nerve which, luckily, managed to remain intact despite the infections. Bass felt good, because I could feel it.
My reality was a quiet one, peaceful even. The busy streets of Brooklyn never bothered me at night because I simply couldn't hear the car horns or the garbage trucks. It was easy to stay cool in tense conversations, because it simply didn't register when people raised their voices. Maybe I did become a little brusque over time. But I was luckier than many people with hearing loss. My right ear was in better shape than my left, and I leaned on it like a crutch. When walking down the pavement, I made it a habit to keep people on my right side. I figured out how to get by, but I was constantly thinking about my hearing loss, as I tried to piece together conversations from muffled voices.
My Quest for Normalcy
And then I realised I had limited time. My hearing was getting worse, and one day, it was going to go away completely. So starting in college, I visited every ear doctor I could find to see if there might be a fix. Pretty much everyone said that my left ear, for one, was in such fragile shape, they were afraid that surgery might do more harm than good. My hearing got even worse, so they suggested hearing aids, which are bulky at best. Instead, I started watching TV with subtitles turned on and staying after class to copy other people's notes.
I'd all but given up when I found my way to the otolaryngology department at NYU Medical Center. There, suddenly and finally, the doctors had good news. (Pro tip: If you live in New York or move to New York, skip the doctor search and seek out NYU faculty. They're fantastic.) The first guy I talked to, Dr. Kenneth Schneider, told me that my ears could be rebuilt thanks to some newer techniques. I would need surgery. There would be scalpels. And there was still a chance it wouldn't work. However, without surgery, there was a chance that my hearing would continue to degrade. One day, I could be completely deaf.
My next visit was with the surgeon, an affable fellow named Dr. Sean McMenomey. In his midtown office, wearing a head mirror, Dr. McMenomey explained what was going on. My left ear was basically broken. The ear drum was full of holes, and had collapsed onto the middle ear, which itself was also a mess. The tiny bones in there were so completely out of whack that they basically didn't work. My right ear was in a similar, albeit less severe, condition. The diagnosis: maximal conductive hearing loss.
The problem, in a sense, was a mechanical one. Your eardum and ossicles (a.k.a. "those tiny bones") exist to conduct sound waves from outside the ear to the auditory nerve in your inner ear, the same way that a bridge carries cars from one side of the river to the other. Thanks to years of infection, that bridge had basically collapsed in my left ear. In my right ear, the damage was critical, but sound could still make it across.
There was some good news though; a hearing test revealed that everything beyond that point was in good shape. If they could rebuild the middle ear and repair the ear drum, there was a good chance my hearing could be restored. We'd start on the left side.
"I might have to cut your ear off," Dr. McMenomey said matter-of-factly.
My eyes widened.
"Not all the way off!" he smiled in the most reassuring way possible, considering the news. "Depending on how it looks when I get in the operating room, I'll either go in through the ear canal or make an incision back here," he pointed the area directly behind the ear, "And peel it back."
My eyes remained wide.
"Don't worry it'll be a small incision. People probably won't even be able to see the scar."
"That's reassuring," I was lying but only a little bit.
"Once I'm in there, I'll have a better idea of how bad the damage is. If it's really bad, I'll have to do the surgery in two stages. If not, I think we can have you in and out of the OR in an hour." He turned to the cross section diagram of an ear on the wall, "First, I'll put those bones back in place. I'll most likely install a titanium prosthesis in your head."
"So I'll be a cyborg?"
"Technically, yes," he laughed. "But it's small and non-ferrous, so you won't get pulled aside at the airport or anything like that. In fact, you won't even notice it's there."
I nodded.
"Then, I'll rebuild the ear drum," Dr. McMenomey said. "I'll probably need to borrow a little cartilage from outside your ear to patch it up, but you won't really notice that either."
It all sounded too good to be true. But I was lucky. While my hearing loss was severe, it was operable. And the procedure was a far less invasive than, say, installing a cochlear implant. My hearing would also, hopefully, return to some semblance of normalcy, whereas a cochlear implant is different.
"Sound like something you'd be into?" he asked casually. I booked an appointment as soon I could.
My Day Under the Knife
Within a month of my consultation with Dr. McMenomey, I found myself in a hospital gown with an IV in my hand—my sweaty, nervous hand. It took nearly two hours to cycle through all the various players that would be involved in my relatively short surgery. The nurse that checked my vitals asked my why I was there. I assumed she knew.
"A lot of people are going to be asking you that," she explained. "It's a liability thing."
I had not considered the idea that the doctors would perform the wrong surgery. So I told her I was getting surgery on my ear. She asked me which one. Again, I assumed she knew. I pointed to my left ear.
The anesthesiologist came by, and we had the same conversation. He also explained how I would barely even notice the surgery. I'd fall asleep pretty much as soon as the oxygen mask hit my face, and I'd wake up in recovery.
Finally, Dr. McMenomey showed up in scrubs. We had the same conversation. (I knew he knew, but you know...) He pulled out a sterile Sharpie and put his initials on the left side of my head with a line pointing to my ear. Good God, I thought to myself, how many people had to have surgery on the wrong side before this Sharpie thing became a thing.
Before I felt ready, they wheeled me up to the OR. I hopped onto the table. It was uncomfortable. The nurses started strapping something to my legs and then something to my arm. The anesthesiologist tried to make small talk but before I could quip back I saw the oxygen mask heading towards my face. Moments later, I woke up on a gurney with a pounding headache and a bandage over my left ear. I couldn't hear anything.
My Revelation
Dr. McMenomey had said it would take a couple weeks to heal. During that time, I had to keep the ear covered. Seeing the bandage in the mirror was like looking at freshly wrapped Christmas presents under the tree but struggling with the fact you'd have to wait a few more days to open them.
The day I took the bandage out was a normal day. I'd spent my working hours listening to music and blogging and stuff. When quitting time came, I went to the bathroom, and unceremoniously pulled out the packing. I don't know what I expected, but it didn't seem any different without the bandage. I tried snapping my fingers on the left side of my head. Did it sound louder?
I left the office with my coworker Bob. Bob's from Scranton and enjoys chatting, so we chatted while we strolled to the subway. I slowed to a walk, when I felt anxiety creep up my spine. My hands were shaking a little, and Bob asked me if I was alright.
"Yeah, I..." I couldn't figure it out at first, but then it hit me like a locomotive. "Holy shit, I can hear you!"
Bob looked confused.
"I felt like something was wrong," I explained. "Then I realised that you were standing on my left side, and I could actually hear what you were saying! That's never happened to me before."
"Wait, so you're telling me all this time we've been working together you haven't been able to hear me?" Bob looked upset.
"No no no," I was getting flashbacks to the "brusque" conversation I'd had with my boss a few years before. "I mean yes, I couldn't really hear you, but I'd know what you were saying. Now I can actually hear you, and it's tripping me out."
Suddenly, the cacophony of the city swirled around me. A car door slammed down the alleyway. A couple chatted on the corner. The subway rumbled underneath. These were all sounds I'd heard before, but not like this. It was as if I suddenly had superpowers. It was incredible.
My Recovery
In the weeks that followed the hearing got better and better. When I went for my first post-op appointment, Dr. McMenomey told me the inside of the left ear looked "awesome," and that was a new experience, too. Usually when doctors looked at that ear, they'd gasp. I'd have to explain that I knew it was screwed up, but there was nothing to be done. When he looked at the right, he said he'd like to give it the same treatment whenever I was ready. But for now, I should expect to start hearing a lot more.
I guess I'd finally done it. Or rather, the surgical team did it. About a month after the surgery, the ear was healed well enough to swim. It had been a decade since I'd gone underwater, and I could do that again. (I still haven't, because I'm scared.) I could hear people when they talked to me. (Again, this was a novelty.) And most importantly, I could sleep easy knowing that I wasn't going to go completely deaf in that ear.
A few weeks later, I flew down to Tennessee to surprise my mom for her birthday. We ate some pizza and had a grand old time. Later that night, I was watching a movie, while my sister took care of some things around the house. She eventually sat down and tried to follow the movie.
"Why do you have the sound on so low?" she asked.
"Huh?" I didn't understand.
"Can you turn it up, please?" she asked more directly.
"Oh..." I pumped the volume up.
"Wait," my mom said from across the room. "Can you actually hear that, Adam?" I would usually wake up the neighbors when I watched TV.
"I guess I can," I said, kind of surprised.
"Wow," my mom said.
It was around then that I took stock of the past few months. The most incredible thing about the surgery was the simple fact that I didn't have to think about hearing any more. Before, the struggle to make sense of what people were saying ruled every interaction I had, leaning in so that I might catch a sentence with my good ear or watching their lips to try and make out works. Now, I could simply hear them.
When I went back for my follow up hearing test recently, I didn't know what to expect. I'd had a million tests like it. I basically failed them all. But this time was different. The audiologist laughed when she showed me the results. In my last hearing test, about a month before the surgery, I could hear about 38 percent of what was going on in my left ear. Now, I can hear 93 per cent. All thanks to a good surgeon, a lot of patience, and a tiny fleck of titanium.

Chef Clay Carnes is a passionate pragmatist when it comes to his cuisine: The executive chef and co-owner of The Grille Fashion Cuisine in Wellington believes in well-executed, no-nonsense food.
You may have picked up on this if you watched the Wellington chef emerge victorious in a recently aired "Cutthroat Kitchen" episode in which he was tasked with making Eggs Benedict. From the start, Carnes declared he would be making no "bourgeois schmourgeois" rendition: "I'm here to make Eggs Benedict and that's it."
Well, we didn't have Eggs Benedict during our recent visit to The Grille, but we had a series of pretty fantastic dishes.
We loved The Grille's short rib tacos ($9.50), which are loaded with a kicky tiger-style salad of shaved cucumbers and feta cheese, and drizzled with spicy mayo.
We also got our comfort food fix when we ordered the free-range roasted chicken with pesto ($28). This skin-on chicken breast was roasted to a tender and juicy finish, gorgeously seared on the outside and served glistening in its juices with a heaping spoonful of pesto swooshed alongside. It was simple and perfect in presentation and taste, as were the crispy, truffled skinny fries we requested on the side.
That's just the start of our dining experience at the sister eatery to Oli's Fashion Cuisine and The Seahorse Fashion Cuisine, also in Wellington.
What were the hits and misses?

In a public release, U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Senator Edward J. Markey (D-MA), with Representatives Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) and Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) announced the Food Labeling Modernization Act of 2015.
"The Food Labeling Modernization Act approaches food labeling reform in a comprehensive manner, addressing front-of-package labeling, misleading health claims, and requiring updates to the Nutrition Facts label and the ingredient list," states the release.
The Act will address a number of revisions to laws that "have been unchanged since the 1990s."
"By empowering consumers with accurate, truthful, and concise information, this legislation will enable them to make healthier choices, and outsmart deceptive pitches and promotions," said Senator Blumenthal.
An overhaul of the food labeling process is an important step towards providing U.S. consumers with healthier food choices, and ultimately addressing what has been referred to as the "obesity epidemic" here in the States.
"Healthy eating is especially critical to combating the growing epidemic of childhood obesity," states Congressman Palone, "which has nearly tripled in the past 30 years and is one of the most serious public health problems in this country."
Here at Soap Hope, we offer products for the body and home, but understand that what we feed our bodies has a serious impact on not only our skin, but overall health. Knowing what makes up the food that we're eating empowers us to make better decisions about what food we purchase.
"Food labels should inform — not mislead — consumers as they grocery shop," said William Wallace, Policy Analyst for Consumers Union. "Consumers deserve labeling that is simple, straightforward, and meaningful, so they can easily compare products and make healthy choices for their families."

Mario Females That Secretly Replaced Someone
The Top Ten
"Mario Females That Secretly Replaced Someone"
So in other words it's NOT a bad thing to be placed at the top of the list; if anything it indicates quality because that character is good and refined enough to be a permanent replacement for someone not up-to-scratch. Besides, who is going to listen to an idiot that makes up a non-existent character in a bad attempt to justify their point? It's also inaccurate to say she replaced Peach because Rosalina has not appeared in a game without Peach, and Daisy has never appeared in a main game so how is Rosalina to blame for that? Oh right, she's not. But anyway, now that she is somehow on the list, GO ROSALINA! She deserves to be number one for being unjustly hated by morons that have no legitimate reason to hate her; hence have to make up terrible excuses.
Please stop giving me the Rosalina is replacing Daisy crap. - Videogamesgal
Rosalina didn't replace daisy. Which is makes no sense at all, since the Daisy fans overreacting and exaggerating a lot of her
There are so many Daisy fans on here that there will always be more people commenting that Rosalina sucks. They are so annoying! - DCfnaf
You might not know this, but I've been Mario's biggest fan, and coming in December, Princess Pico is coming out. And they've made her like a very intelligent thought. Rosalina secretly replaced Pico. Here is Pico to some kids who aren't familiar with her. She is tech-wise, she raises bears who kill villains such as goombas, she babysits a toad everyday, she is trustworthy and Peach's best friend. Rosalina replaced Daisy and Peach. HOW DO THEY LIKE HER? JUST BECAUSE SHE TELLS SECRETS? ANYONE CAN. EVEN A GOOMBA OR BABY MARIO! Rosalina shouldn't of been on Mario Kart Wii, because Rosalina replaced THREE females in Mario!
It is very clear you made this list just to anger all the Rosalina fans. Pico is irrelevant and Rosalina is more relevant than Daisy. Stop putting these lists on this website. There's enough stupid lists already. - DCfnaf
I HAD ENOUGH OF THIS REPLACEMENT! Peach reminds me of Disney princesses. They used Peach to look more animated. But she looks like Araura from Disney. Princess Toadstool is Pico. But nobody knows now of Pauline and Peach then Rosalina then FORGET THIS CONFUSION! Why can't Nintendo think of one female in lead #6. This chain is done!
She is bossy & reminds me of Barbie princesses.
I hate her
Dude, Birdo came before effing Toadette!
Her noises just are bad! She fits in why my kid is crying book.
Birdo is a guy who thinks he's a girl
Toadette. Do you know this name before? BIRDO REPLACED HER.
Birdo came out in 1988 and Toadette came out in 2002. Please stop spreading lies. - Videogamesgal
Stop blaming the others for a fake character. - Videogamesgal
Pico in a nutshell! Rosalina forever!
By the way, this Top 10 is made by some dumbass who's always blaming Rosalina for replacing a fake character.
There's no "Pico" in Super Mario, Sonic The Hedgehog and Donkey Kong. I searched on Google and I found some dog and a weird baby carriage who's called so.
This guy is trolling. His comment on Rosalina is that she replaced Pico. - DCfnaf
Seriously, what do you have against Rosalina? You're blaming her for replacing a character that didn't even exist! For shame!
This character didn't even exist. Stop blaming Rosalina, dumbass!
Mona is a replacement for Pauline. Why don't Wario and Pauline date?
Perry is a boy. - Videogamesgal
Perry is male, idiot. But he could be useful on both Peach & Tails.
She replaced all the items. I don't think Peach is valuable to have Perry.
Let me read the list name: "Top Ten Mario Females that secretly replaced SOMEONE". This list is attacking Perry (who is a BOY) and accusing him of replacing the items. Items are not characters. - DCfnaf
This is princess peach
Peach toadstool same thing - quintonshark8713
If you're referring to the DIC character, I don't think she replaced anyone unless you're talking about Princess Daisy. Daisy could've had any role in any DIC cartoon.
This is Peach - DCfnaf
Well she appeared in Mario Thousand year door
How dare you call my crab OC fake!
Not real character - DCfnaf
She bawls kicks, and screams. She is the biggest idiot in Mario Kart how did she get in?
She is annoying, bossy & an idiot! She fits in the Reasons My Kid is Crying book.
The Contenders
As much as I don't like her, she shouldn't be on here either! She was brought back as Peach's partner! - DCfnaf

Our Rich Heritage
American Distilling's history includes decades of consistent quality production and innovation of natural Witch Hazel Extracts for the health, beauty, personal care and pharmaceutical industries. The history of our company dates back to the mid 1800's, its establishment became the cornerstone of the Witch Hazel industry and ultimately a part of Americana.
Witch Hazel, a standard of identity set forth by the FDA in the USP, is found in various cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations in medicine cabinets throughout the world. It was first prepared for commercial distribution by the Dickinson family in Essex Connecticut, who later became involved with American Distilling for bulk and retail production.
From humble beginnings, American started producing various extract blends for cleansing, toning and astringency applications by hand in turn of the century copper stills. This was an extremely labor intensive process that had been in existence since the industrial revolution, when many processes for producing staple products such as Witch Hazel were born. It involved harvesting the raw Witch Hazel material from the woodlands by hand, then transporting it to the processing facility where it would be further conditioned, loaded into the stills using a pitchfork, processed, and the resulting distillate would be pumped into wooden drums by hand.(Today, in our state-of-the-art facility, we produce our distilled Witch Hazel ingredients through a proprietary custom production system that brings the product from the woodlands to the consumer never having been touched by human hands after harvest.)
Based on the ever increasing popularity of the use of Witch Hazel by formulation chemists and consumers alike, it was felt by American Distilling's management that there was a need to upgrade and automate the production of this time honored ingredient. In 1981, a new facility and process was built to supply Distilled Witch Hazel on a scale and of a quality that was unrivaled anywhere in the world. This process automated and standardized the time honored techniques used, but maintained the same formulations refined over centuries of production. Also, along with this modernized process came in-house quality control, assurance and R&D personnel and laboratories, engineering, account service and other executives that raised the bar for quality, reliability and efficiency. Other expansions were conducted in 1990 and again in 2000 with a focus on increased warehousing and efficient materials handling to service the world's demand for cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations of this time honored ingredient.
Today the use of Witch Hazel is widespread and vast in its possible applications. It is found in products throughout the household, from a natural base ingredient in market leading cosmetic toners, cleansers and hair care products to an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and personal hygiene products.
Witch Hazel, from humble beginnings has become the natural ingredient that powers the products of the world's leading pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies.

John Frieda 10 Day Tamer
This is an easy one! It works. John Frieda 10 Day Tamer just totally works so there really isn't a great deal to say about it other than that. I used it on my fine but plentiful, bit dry at the ends, frizz prone hair, and I'm approaching the 10 day mark now having done 4 washes in that time using Aveda Pure Abundance (and Bumble & Bumble Sunday shampoo once) shampoo and conditioner.
To use John Frieda 10 Day Tamer, you simply put it in your dry hair (it's thick and white with a perfectly pleasant, but generic, scent) for ten minutes then go off and wash and condition as normal. That's it. As soon as I put the blow dryer to it, I could tell that my hair was behaving better, looked straighter and had little frizz. I've had several salon Keratin treatments (my goodness, it's always a shock when they completely wear off and you suddenly remember how your hair really behaves with no intervention..I have been waking up with a bird's nest) and I'd say that while the result is milder, it really replicates that sweet spot in the Keratin treatment timeline when your hair is not too flat and straight but before it starts to completely return to normal frizz and fuzziness. So, what I'm trying to say I think is flatter and straighter but with body.
I'm completely won over by this treatment – it's a piece of cake and really is 10/10 for doing exactly what it says it will. I've found it on offer at Superdrug for £6.98 instead of usual price of £12.99 HERE.

Thanks so much for this post
Buying it tomorrow
Does it require blow drying to activate the product? I despise how my hair looks after a hair dryer has been near it but the menopause has left my once glossy locks, a frizzed up mess.
I think I've been waiting for this my whole life! I also have to get keratin treatments x
Just to offer a different view I thought this was a terrible waste of money. Easy to apply, used three quarters of the bottle on my hair, leaving a quarter of a bottle i couldn't use. Hair was slightly better after use. After one wash my hair was nearly back to its normal frizzy state and after the second wash there was no sign I'd ever used it. I was very optimistic it might be the answers to my hair woes, alas, it wasn't 🙁
To add some balance, it may be that if your hair is in better condition than mine (bleached, dry and frizzy), you might get better results, your hair is probably nowhere near as rubbish as mine!
Do you think it would work in conjunction with a keratin treatment? I don't want to do anything that makes that go away quicker lol
Sounds too good to be true – will have to try it out x
Looks great – Amazon has it for £6.48
The reviews on Boots and Amazon are very mixed, looks like it's one of those products that works great for some people and not at all for others! I'm tempted to give it a try and hope it works for me.
Love your blog! Please check out my fashion, beauty & travel blog! xx

"WAAAAAGH!" the battle cry that spreads fear and panic throughout the Imperium, in fact wider, with the Tau Empire having also felt the raw power brutality of the Orks.
White Dwarf this month concentrates on the release of the Orks for 2014. Interestingly Games Workshop seem to be following the same release schedule they did for the Wood Elves; get your big model out first. With the Treeman that was a no-brainer, but with the Gorkanaut/ Morkanaut kit I'm not sure this was the way to go!
It will be interesting to see what the community think of this model - because frankly I think it's underwhelming. Boxes of multi-part Orks would have been the release to really interest me, and that's what the rumours say are next. So let's have a look at this week's White Dwarf, which also sees the release of a new spray and a great little piece on Objective Markers. + + More after the Jump + +
White Dwarf Issue #18 Review
You may have seen my tinkering around with my Dark Eldar forces recently - well it's on a bit of a momentum now, so I thought it was time to start a Project: Dark Eldar section to the site where I can out them up as the force grows.
For me, the Dark Eldar are Jes Goodwin's crowning glory. They are so beautifully deadly, so intricate and seductive in their violence - how can you not be lured in.
A force that doesn't so much shine brightly in the stars, but they absorb the very darkness and inhabit it!
Hope you enjoy the new Project: Dark ELdar section
First Dark Eldar Unit Finished!
Over the last week I've been starting on my Dark Eldar force. Happily I started on the excellent Reavers which after trial and error came out pretty well.
Click on the picture for more
Dreamforge have done a rather sizeable update this morning, and after much conversation in the community, have shown preview images of their female Stormtroopers.
After extensive body work, these Special Forces-trained warrior women look pretty damn cool. Notice their different weapons to reflect their Special Forces status. There are plans for alternate heads too.
It's really great to see a company being so responsive to the fan base and giving them what they want!
So what do you think? Would you add these to your force?
I have recently been experimenting with using Nuln Oil on Macragge Blue for my War Hounds Space Marines and the experiment with using the Citadel Washes was a success!
Because Nuln Oil is a black I wanted to try the wash Citadel had designed for blue; Drakenhof Nightshade. The colour itself is very good, perfect in fact, but the coverage is not. It doesn't flow as well as Nuln Oil, nor does it seem to provided the flat contrast one would want.
The Drakenhof Nightshade may be a better colour match for vehicles or larger models, but the mix seems thicker than the Nuln Oil, meaning it pools in the wrong places and sometimes doesn't staying in the recesses. It could be my batch - but as far as miniatures go, I'd stick to Nuln Oil for that dark blue look you're be after.

Dark Eldar Reavers Sneak peak!
The lure was too great - these have been in my collection for years and I just had to give it a go!
I've got two more on the bench, so stay tuned for all three in the next little while plus a review of the kit.
Suffice to say - these were an absolute pleasure to make and paint...
Here's a 20-something year old paint job for you from my Legio Ballista force.
Look how steady my hands were back then - all those icons were done freehand...

A Chicago Tradition, Rich Paschall, Sunday Night Blog
If you watched the National League baseball playoff games, or the World Series, you may have noticed many Chicago Cubs fans with white flags. No, they were not trying to signal surrender. The flags have a large blue "W" in the center, signifying a Win for our local heroes. With a little clever marketing and the help of social media, #FlytheW began to appear everywhere. Cubs fans were buying up these flags for their houses, their cars and to take to the ballpark. While it was only a minor thing in recent years, it has exploded into a giant marketing gimmick this year.
It is not something new to the guys who run the old mechanical scoreboard in center field. Yes, the big metal board is still out there and an iconic part of the ballpark. No modern digital board can replace it, although we have added those during the recent outfield renovation.
Soon after the old scoreboard was finished in 1937, the team adopted the practice of flying a flag after the game to signal whether the team won or not. A blue flag with a white "L" would signify a loss. There were important reasons for these flags.
Before the era of hand held devices with sports apps, before even the transistor radio, a main way for fans to learn the outcome of the game, was to look up at the scoreboard. If you did not catch the game on the radio or find the score in the afternoon papers, the Daily News or the Chicago American, you could see the result flying from above Wrigley Field. Before television, and before the internet, you might want to know what color flag was raised after the game of the day (no night games for us until 1988).
I am not sure exactly when I was lucky enough to own a transistor radio, but before that it could be hard for us to run down the result of the game. We lived close enough to the park to ride our bikes to the field to see the flags. People going home on the Howard-Englewood "L" train (now the Red Line) could look west from the Addison stop to see if the team had a victory. It was important way to spread the news to the North Siders.
For most years of my young life we were more likely to find the "L" flying over the park. Whether we were in the park or just hanging around outside, it was a rare day when we saw the white flag go up. With every blue flag came the belief that tomorrow, or at least next year, we would begin to see the "W" more often.
If the need to signal the neighborhood with the outcome of the game has long passed, the tradition of flying the flag remains. When the game is over, all the little pennants with the National League team names on them are taken down and the "L" or the "W" rises. On double header days, you might find both flying at the end of the games. Double headers, of course, are now a rare occasion.
This year we have been treated to many Wins in the "Friendly Confines," as former MVP Ernie Banks used to call the park. Local flag makers had trouble keeping up with the surprising demand for W flags big and small. We have taken a long standing practice at the park and turned it a national phenomenon for our national pastime.
Longtime Chicago broadcaster Harry Caray (11 years with the White Sox, 16 years with the Cubs), hoped to see that "W" over a World Series. He did not live to see it, but he promised us it would happen. He died at the age of 83 or around that (another story) and saw many flags fly over the park, but not the most important one. A statue of Caray is now outside the park.
Some years, he was much more popular than the "loveable losers" the Cubs had on the field. It seemed unfair he missed out, so a long time sponsor arranged for the flag and Harry to make to Cleveland for the final call. You can fly the "W" now, Harry. We finally made it.

About ABCD
The Resource Center is built on NASHP's Assuring Better Child Health and Development (ABCD) Electronic Resource Center, which compiled resources from the ABCD Program. ABCD was funded by the Commonwealth Fund, administered by NASHP, and designed to assist states in improving the delivery of early child development services for low-income children and their families by strengthening primary health care services and systems that support the healthy development of young children, ages birth to 3. The program focused particularly on preventive care of children whose health care is covered by state health care programs, especially Medicaid. From 2000-2012, the ABCD program helped 27 states create models of service delivery and financing through a laboratory for program development and innovation.
- The first ABCD Consortium (ABCD I) was created in 2000 and provided grants to four states (NC, UT, VT, WA) to develop or expand service delivery and financing strategies aimed at enhancing healthy child development for low-income children and their families. The program concluded in 2003.
- The ABCD II Initiative launched in 2003 and ended in early 2007. It was designed to assist states in building the capacity of Medicaid programs to deliver care that supports children's healthy mental development. The initiative funded the work of five states(CA, IL, IA, MN, UT).
- The ABCD Screening Academy included 19 states (AK, AL, AR, CA, CO, CT, DE, KS, MD, MI, MN, MT, NJ, NM, OH, OK, OR, VA, WI), Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia, who worked to identify and improve policies and practices that move the use of standardized developmental screening tools as part of well-child care from a best practice to a standard practice.
- ABCD III, which began in 2009 and ended in late 2012, developed and tested sustainable models for improving care coordination and linkages between pediatric primary care providers and other providers who support children's healthy development. Five states (AR, IL, MN, OK, OR) developed lasting policy and systems improvements and practice improvements that build and strengthen linkages between primary care providers and other child and family service providers, thereby improving the quality of care for children with or at-risk of developmental delay.
To learn about the legacy of the ABCD program from the states themselves please view The ABCD Legacy: In the Words of the States. Key NASHP ABCD publications are listed in this ABCD Publications Library. Find select ABCD resources by entering "ABCD" into the search bar.
For states interested in staying involved in the efforts of ABCD states, please email Elinor Higgins at email@example.com to be added to the ABCD Alumni listserv.

Get your jokes about already sharing a bed with a cock out of the way, because a serious bit of research from academics at Addis Ababa University has found that chickens have the power to protect you from mosquitoes.
A study in Ethiopia has shown that the irritating little buggers keep well away from chickens, with four compounds present in chicken feathers -- isobutyl butyrate, naphthalene, hexadecane and trans-limonene -- believed to have a repellant effect. According to the experts, the birds sometimes eat mosquitoes too.
"We were surprised to find that malaria mosquitoes are repelled by the odours emitted by chickens," said Professor Rickard Ignell of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, who was involved in the research. "This study shows for the first time that malaria mosquitoes actively avoid feeding on certain animal species, and that this behaviour is regulated through odour cues."
As well as being decent pub chat material, the discovery could have major implications in the fight against malaria. Mosquitoes are largely responsible for spreading the disease, which leads to thousands of deaths per year, and this study could help us find effective defenses.
For now, it's worth keeping a bag of chicken feathers and a bit of glue handy in your suitcase at all times. [Independent]

September Motorcycle Vacations
My vacation time was just approved so now I'm going to start planning my two motorcycle vacations.
First I will be going to the BMW Finger Lakes Rally in Watkins Glen New York over Labor Day weekend. I've heard good things about this rally and have been asked for two years to attend. This will be my first motorcycle rally. The BMW Dutch Country Riders will have a cabin but I'm planning on taking my tent and sleeping bag in case some people are too loud and obnoxious. Can't wait to ride into this part of New York!
Next I will be attending the Rally in the Poconos being held by the Black Diamond Beemers from September 25th to the 27th. This rally will be held at Indian Head Camp near Lookout, PA. Again, the BMW Dutch Country Riders are planning on having a lake side cabin here so I will take advantage of that.

Half way through the year Mick Fanning is leading the race for the ASP World Title. Coming off a great win in Tahiti, Mick is focused, loving his boards and he is letting his surfing do the talking for him.
DH and Mick have been working day in and day out, in the shaping bay and in ocean, to refine Mick's boards for the this leg of the tour. The first of three stops is the Hurley Pro at Trestles. Trestles is one of Mick's favourites. "I'm so pumped for Trestles—it's definitely one of the best stops on tour. There's so many ways you can approach the wave, you can get a heap of speed out there but the wave is really forgiving so you can kind of try anything. I think you need a good mix of power surfing and airs at Lower Trestles, anything less just isn't going to cut it"—MF.
It's no secret that last year Mick was riding a few Mayhems shaped by San Clemente local Matt Biolos. "I think it's been good for Mick's surfing that Mayhem shaped him a few boards. It's the same as when the tour stops here in Cooly and I get pros from all over the world stopping by the factory and picking up boards from me. That local knowledge can be the difference maker in these high performance events. Since then Mick and I have been experimenting with boards with a little more volume specifically designed for Trestles. Right now Mick has six really good Ducks Nuts that if the waves are 3 foot plus they are gonna be his go to boards. Even with that extra volume and rocker he reckons they are his fastest boards."
"DH has been on fire this year with my boards, being so consistent and they're always feeling fresh. DH and I have been working on a couple of models for different sorts of waves and we have a few that will go really well at Lowers," Fanning said of he and DH's latest creations.
Right after Trestles wraps up the tour stops in France for the Quiksilver Pro followed immediately by the Rip Curl Pro Portugal. Mick's European quiver was designed by DH for all types of waves and conditions. "In France and Portugal you just don't know what the conditions are gonna be like. The waves can be 1 foot one day and 10 feet the next. Mick's biggest board is a 6'3 that he rides in absolute pumping conditions. In his quiver he also has a bunch of rounded pin 5 fins. These are still works in progress, but they seemed to really work for Mick in Tahiti. Even Parko was riding a quad in that final. Anything that barrels and needs some speed Mick will be riding a quad with a rounded pin. In that quiver he has a board for any type of condition and I will be over there so if he needs anything else we can shape that for him there. I am really looking forward to watching Mick's surfing in these three events. We have been working really hard to get to this point and I wish him all the best"—DH.
