A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about the societal problems fully legalized marijuana has brought to Holland. Those facts ran counter to the "marijuana is harmless compared to hard drugs" line of reasoning that has been used to justify legalizing marijuana. It now looks as if the "marijuana is less harmful than cigarettes" argument may also be a fallacy:
Smoking a joint is equivalent to 20 cigarettes in terms of lung cancer risk, scientists in New Zealand have found, as they warned of an "epidemic" of lung cancers linked to cannabis.
Studies in the past have demonstrated that cannabis can cause cancer, but few have established a strong link between cannabis use and the actual incidence of lung cancer.
In an article published in the European Respiratory Journal, the scientists said cannabis could be expected to harm the airways more than tobacco as its smoke contained twice the level of carcinogens, such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons, compared with tobacco cigarettes.
The method of smoking also increases the risk, since joints are typically smoked without a proper filter and almost to the very tip, which increases the amount of smoke inhaled. The cannabis smoker inhales more deeply and for longer, facilitating the deposition of carcinogens in the airways.
"Cannabis smokers end up with five times more carbon monoxide in their bloodstream (than tobacco smokers)," team leader Richard Beasley, at the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand, said in a telephone interview.
"There are higher concentrations of carcinogens in cannabis smoke … what is intriguing to us is there is so little work done on cannabis when there is so much done on tobacco."
The researchers interviewed 79 lung cancer patients and sought to identify the main risk factors for the disease, such as smoking, family history and occupation. The patients were questioned about alcohol and cannabis consumption.
In this high-exposure group, lung cancer risk rose by 5.7 times for patients who smoked more than a joint a day for 10 years, or two joints a day for 5 years, after adjusting for other variables, including cigarette smoking.
"While our study covers a relatively small group, it shows clearly that long-term cannabis smoking increases lung cancer risk," wrote Beaseley.
I'm not using this post to advocate that we keep marijuana classified as an illegal drug. Indeed, I think it ought to be legalized, since I would place it with alcohol and cigarettes as another socially accepted low-level, mind-altering substance. However, I do believe that, before we do anything, we have an obligation to examine what marijuana really is, what it does to people who use it, and what it does to the societies in which it is used. Only in that way can we have (a) an informed citizenry when it comes to its use and (b) reasonable laws to protect the larger society from any fallout associated with the drug.
In this regard, my stance is exactly the same as it is with regard to abortion. In previous posts, I've castigated the abortion rights crowd for arguing the issue as if we're still locked in the pre-1973 era. Abortion can be approached honestly and intelligently only if we look at the way things are now, which includes a relaxation in attitudes towards out-of-wedlock (including teen) pregnancies, and increased knowledge about fetal viability and (through sonograms) the essential humanity of a fetus — none of which were issues back in the late 1960s through 1973, when Roe was decided. It's telling when advocacy groups feel that they can advance their agenda only from hiding the truth, not advancing it.

Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
Haystack Vineyard is nestled way up in Atlas Peak, Napa Valley's highest appellation, perched 1,500 feet above sea level in the Vaca Mountains. This craggy, extremely rocky site stresses the vines, resulting in small, intensely concentrated berries.
Production Notes
The 2013 growing season began with an early budbreak and mild weather in the spring which made for a heavy berry set. We had beautiful, consistent warm days throughout the growing season coupled with cool nights and foggy mornings, ensuring slow and steady ripeness. The phenolic maturity was in unison with sugar ripening. The warm fall with very little rain made for a harvest without incident. The resulting wines have beautiful balance and depth.
Winemaker Notes
"This big Petite Sirah opens with an opaque ruby purple and aromas of intense lush black raspberry fruit, mineral, baking spice and cinnamon. These powerful, intense flavors carry through on the palate and lead into a long, strong, layered finish with dense tannins and extraction with balance. This wine will mature gracefully with time in the bottle." – Mario Monticelli

I'm in the strangest of moods today, so bear with me while I try and get out the fabbo news I have. This post is HUGE, so I'm going to put a jump in it,just to spare your brain, and my looking at it on my front page. But please, keep reading- I've made a heck of a discovery on how to make Konad & Essence stamps come out more nicely, more consistently, and darker than before! All that's after the jump, though.
First off, the uber-wonderful KellieGonzo of Also Known As is having a giveaway! Whee!! She's giving away a sweet little collection of goodies that I think anyone would love to receive. Just look!
Seriously, just look how cute this stuff is! Honestly, I can't imagine people not wanting to get this stuff. It's not like you have to go out to the mall, find a parking place out by the road and then schlep all the way inside the mall where now it's too cold, what with the air conditioning, then have to walk all the way down to the Sephora store just to pick up the items you see here, that is if they're even still in stock!
No, Kellie has saved you the effort of all of this. Instead, all you have to do is fill out her cute pink little form. (And yes, it really is pink, with really cute little paler pink flowers all over the background.) She asks three little questions, and then gives you extra chances to win!!
Now really, could it be any easier than that? I mean, sure, she could just decide out of the blue to send things to your house, hire a private investigator to get your address and then send it to you, so that you answer the door one morning to find your mail delivery person standing there with a package for you!
But that's not going to happen. This giveaway is, though, so go on, go enter! I can wait til you get back to share my news.
*waits patiently for you to return, organizing her polish box. Man, it's messy, I needed this!!*
*ponders organizing by color or by brand. Then again, my collection is so small, I can just organize by polish. "This is a polish. This is not a polish. Ohhh, this goes with the polishes... those don't, those go with the paints..."*
Oh, you're back! That was FAST! I told you! Ok, are you sitting down? This could be exciting for you.

Authors: Arturo Tozzi
The assessment of hidden causal relationships, e.g., adverse drug reactions in pharmacovigilance, is currently based on rather qualitative parameters. In order to find more quantifiable parameters able to establish the validity of the alleged correlations between drug intake and onset of symptoms, we introduce the Borsuk-Ulam Theorem (BUT), which states that a single point on a circumference projects to two points on a sphere. The BUT stands for a general principle that describes issues from neuroscience, theoretical physics, nanomaterials, computational topology, chaotic systems, group theory, cosmology. Here we introduce a novel BUT variant, termed operational-BUT, that evaluates causal relationships. Further, we demonstrate that the BUT is correlated with graph theory and in particular with the so-called Kneser graphs: this means that the combinatory features of observables, such as the bodily responses to drug intake, can be described in terms of dynamical mappings and paths taking place on well-established abstract structures. Therefore, physical and biological dynamical systems (including alleged causes and their unknown effects) make predictable moves into peculiar phase spaces, giving rise to constrained trajectories that can be quantified.

Just got myself a little Canon G11 and I'm going to hit the streets of London tomorrow to test it out. It's going to be nice not having to lug the heavy DSLR gear around but will it produce images that will be acceptable to the various image libraries to which I contribute photos?
We'll find out.
But many of the images I get will fit firmly in the 'arty street photography' category and because I will not have a 'big camera' I'm unlikely to attract anybody's attention.
The Guardian are picking up a story today of the photographer Grant Smith being descended upon by no less than seven police officers in four vehicles after daring to take pictures of a church that happened to be adjacent to the London offices of Bank of America / Merrill Lynch. The story also has been dealt with in the online edition of the British Journal of Photography, here and here.
What never ceases to amaze me is that IF terrorists wanted images of this American bank then would they not choose to get them surreptitiously using LITTLE cameras or more likely MOBILE PHONES knowing that security staff incredibly only seem to pick on people with BIG cameras.
In fact they really need not even visit the street at all when there are already hundreds of photos of Bank of America London on sites like Flickr and Alamy!
So what really is in the head of the security people? It was the bank's security who called the police, wasting their time when the police could have been pursuing bank robbers or real terrorists even. My feeling is that security people are bored and want to push their weight around. And from his own account of events, Grant Smith was having none of that.

SARA North Carolina Student Complaints
SARA-NC Student Complaint Form saranc.org/docs/SARA-NC-ComplaintForm.pdf
The North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA) serves as the SARA portal entity for North Carolina with the responsibilities defined by the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA). Among the responsibilities assigned to the state portal entity is shepherding the resolution of, investigating and resolving as necessary complaints from distance education students who reside outside of the state and who have complaints regarding the institutions that participate in SARA North Carolina.
Students not residing in North Carolina and enrolled in a North Carolina institution that operates under SARA North Carolina may submit complaints to NCSEAA only after completing the complaint process established by the institution attended by the student.
Initial responsibility for the investigation and resolution of student complaints resides with the institution against which the complaint is made. Students must exhaust all opportunities for resolution at the institution before filing a complaint with the NCSEAA. Complaints regarding grades or student conduct violations are governed entirely by institutional policy and are not subject to review by NCSEAA.
Students who have exhausted institutional grievance processes and remain dissatisfied with the outcome may file a written complaint with NCSEAA within two years of the incident that is the issue of the complaint. Anonymous complaints will not be reviewed.
Filing a Complaint against a SARA North Carolina Institution
Using the student complaint form, describe your complaint and provide supporting documentation, including the outcome of the institutional complaint process. Follow the instructions on the web site to submit your form.
The NCSEAA will review a complaint that falls within its authority within 30 calendar days upon receipt. Qualifying complaints will be forwarded to the appropriate entity, as described below, for resolution:
- Complaints against any of the 17 UNC constituent institutions will be forwarded to the Office of Academic and Student Affairs at UNC General Administration;
- Complaints against any of the 58 state community colleges will be forwarded to the North Carolina Community College System;
- Complaints against any of the 36 independent colleges and universities will be forwarded to the North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities; and
- Complaints against any other institution will be reviewed by the NCSEAA.
Reviews will be completed within 60 calendar days of the date a complaint is received. Staff representing the entities listed above will conduct initial reviews and submit findings and recommendations for resolution, if any, to the SARA North Carolina Director. The Director may extend the review by an additional 30 calendar days for a total of 90 days if necessary to ensure full understanding of the issues related to the complaint.
- If a complaint cannot be resolved by mutual agreement within the allotted period of time, the SARA North Carolina Director may deem that no action is needed, seek more information, or recommend action against an institution.
- The SARA North Carolina Director may consult with the SARA North Carolina Advisory Council before recommending action against an institution. Action may include direction to the institution to adhere to its institutional refund policy when the institution has not done so voluntarily.
- Any disposition by the SARA North Carolina Director is final with the exception of the decision to take an action against an institution based on a complaint. Should the Director choose to recommend action against an institution, such an action must be approved by the NCSEAA Board of Directors. The recommendation becomes final and binding following the Board's approval. Nothing in this process precludes the State of North Carolina from using the laws of North Carolina to pursue action against an institution that violates those laws.
- The SARA NC Director will communicate the finding to the complainant and the institution involved in the complaint.
If a student wishes to contact the state portal entities for his or her home state, contact information for state authorization liaisons in each SARA state can be found on the NC-SARA website. State by state contact information for agencies responsible for receiving student consumer complaints is available online.

What About That Bad Boss?
No one, not even an apple, likes to gain the label "bad," and most of us would rather not have to use it to describe anyone either. At my house, our five-year-old cat, Dave, is referred to as a good cat who does naughty things (this explanation for our three-year-old granddaughter). Most of the time Dave is a loving, curious, and amusingly agile cat whom we love to have around, but he has a propensity to eat certain things (ribbon, yarn, plastic, grocery bag handles), which have given him some varying degrees of gastrointestinal problems and have given us some rather hefty vet bills. We sigh and say that Dave is a good cat who does naughty things.
Do You Have a Bad Boss?
That is often how we can describe people, too—especially some managers who happen to be our bosses. They may be well-intentioned, often are super smart, experienced, and competent to accomplish the work assigned to them. But they also do naughty things: they berate their employees or more subtly try to make them feel guilty. They forget to add a dash of praise or to "encourage the heart" of those who report to them. They set an example of constant complaint and pessimism as a general rule instead of leading with vision, strength, and optimism. They gossip and talk endlessly about problems instead of solutions. They wear a woe-is-me badge and expect to be taken care of by their employees—and do not seem to be concerned about the personal and professional challenges of those same employees. Does this fit any boss you know? Perhaps you have labeled this person a "bad boss."
Lack of Self-Awareness is the Major Cause
Dave the cat is more easily forgiven for his naughty activities, of course. Unlike his human counterpart, the bad boss, he has little or no understanding of the dangers and consequences of his bad behavior (he once ate some floral ribbon that had a strand of wire in it—and had to be operated on to the tune of several thousand dollars). Unfortunately, this lack of self-awareness, which we expect in a cat, is also at the root of the bad boss problem. Quite simply, self-awareness, a foundational aspect of emotional intelligence, is often what that bad boss lacks.
The lack of self-awareness shows up in a variety of ways. If you have to work for such a boss—or if you suspect that you may be such a boss—it may be helpful to look at the behaviors that expose the gap. You can recognize those who have a deficit in self-awareness in at least four behaviors and the effects those behaviors have on employees:
- They are unable to reliably identify their own feelings in a given situation. This inability means that employees will have a difficult time knowing how the boss is going to react to anything. One day the boss may explode in anger, but on another day he or she may dismiss the same issue with a wave of he hand. This inconsistency creates and sustains tension that can devastate morale and personally affect the well-being of employees.
- They have little understanding of how others perceive them. Somehow, these people seem stuck in early childhood patterns, a time when they could throw a tantrum but then recover with little or no consequences. They may behave badly but then expect that the employees will completely forget their lack of self-management and/or forgive them for whatever they said or did. They depend on their position of authority and can be frightened if they feel that rug being pulled out from under them in any way.
- They do not see a pattern in their response to various people or situations. Employees—and former employees—would be able to make a good list of the bad boss's typical responses, but the boss is unable to see the pattern in his or her own behaviors. For example, the bad boss complains about an administrative assistant to other employees (in an attempt to get their support); the admin, who may or may not hear of the criticism, feels it in any case, and may respond by being uncommunicative or perhaps seethes with anger that is expressed in a variety of ways. The employee may even decide to file a suit for a hostile workplace situation. The bad boss cannot see his or her part in this activity even if it has happened more than once.
- They are clueless about their intent or attitude as they communicate with others. Employees find themselves being forced to listen as this bad boss spews out obvious bias or innuendos that are damaging to other employees in the organization. They may also attempt to make themselves appear smarter by criticizing their peers and superiors—often finding themselves isolated even among their colleagues. The bad boss may keep things vague so that an employee has little clear direction about how to handle a given situation, which is an attempt by the boss to control the employee and possibly make him or her look bad in the eyes of others. It may be hard to believe, but the boss is not even aware that he or she is doing this.
What to do About that Bad Boss?
Once a "bad boss" is identified by these behaviors, there are four basic possibilities to deal with this undesirable situation. One, if the situation caused by the bad boss is recognized by the organization (perhaps through a 360-degree feedback process, for example), the boss can be fired or asked to resign. Second, the unhappy employee(s) may resign (or even bring suit as mentioned above). Third, the bad boss, if he or she is valuable enough to the organization, may be offered the services of a coach, who can work with him or her on self-awareness as well as other emotional intelligence traits. And finally, the employee can choose to make changes in his or her own attitude so that the effects of the bad boss's behaviors are at least dampened.
This last option—the employee's change in attitude–is not an ideal solution, but it may serve until the bad boss can either be removed or remediated. In the case of Dave the cat, we learned which unhealthy but attractive materials had to be kept out of Dave's reach (though he surprisingly ate a large piece of netting from a doll's cape because we had no idea of its attraction for him) because we understood what triggers his naughty behavior. We can be compassionate to Dave because we know he is incapable of monitoring his own health or our pocketbook. We are not angry, but we do what we can to keep him safe and ourselves solvent.
Similarly, in a bad boss situation, an employee does not have to feel ambushed every time the boss launches into a bad behavior, but the employee can take steps toward creating a healthier environment:
- Observe the boss to understand his or her needs. When we deal with cats or three-year-old children, we have a pretty good idea of their needs. Understanding the behavior of an adult, especially one with authority and power, seems more complicated. However, all of these creatures (cats, kids, and bosses) have some basic needs that cannot be ignored. Each needs care and attention, and each needs to feel safe rather than fearful. Observe the boss's behavior to understand what he or she needs—not to become manipulative, but to gain compassion for the boss as another human being with strengths and weaknesses like all of us.
- Build your own self-awareness. View the bad boss situation as an opportunity to build the self-observer within you. Become a keen observer of the effect that your own words and actions have on those with whom you interact. Experiment with changing one small behavior—perhaps how you respond when the boss is complaining, for example—and see whether that has any positive effect. If you've been trying to supply answers to resolve the boss's complaints, you might try simply listening and reflecting back what he or she has said. Then observe what effect that has on the boss.
- Take care of yourself. Yes, you are probably feeling the need to walk on tiptoes around a boss who has the power to get you fired. But that doesn't mean that you must turn into a frozen statue, afraid to do or say anything to improve your own situation. You can find ways to take care of yourself including sharing your worries with a trusted colleague or friend, taking a break when you feel the tension rising (lunch away from the office or even a "mental health" day), making sure you get time with family and friends who love and care about you, planning activities (exercising, listening to music, spending time outdoors) that bring you joy, and journaling to better understand your own reactions to the situation.
- Look back on a problem solved. Okay, this one takes a bit of imagination, but it is a way of gaining perspective and therefore calm for yourself. Choose a future date—say a year from now. Imagine that, one way or another, this issue has been resolved. What is the worst outcome? (You've been fired? Your colleagues have resigned and brought law suits against the boss?) What is the best outcome you can imagine? (Your boss has resigned? Has been provided a coach who actually has made progress with him or her?) We exist in an environment of constant change, and acting as if you will always be as miserable as you are right now is unrealistic. In a year, you more than likely will have various issues and challenges, but it probably will not be this one!
The lack of self-awareness in kids and cats is easily understandable. We actually enjoy watching small children in imaginative play—talking and singing aloud, oblivious to whomever is listening. And as YouTube statistics indicate, many of us find delight in watching cats and kittens go about their I-don't-care-what-you-think antics. Such lack of self-awareness is actually somewhat refreshing and often fun. Unfortunately, that is not the case when we are dealing with adults—especially adults who happen to be our supervisors and bosses. We have a right to expect that managers will have achieved enough self-awareness to be able to lead—to encourage and inspire us to be our best selves. On the optimistic side, you can hope for the boss to resign or gain some healthy self-awareness with a good coach. Meanwhile, take care of yourself by recognizing and observing the bad boss's patterns and taking steps to build your own self-awareness.

Economy for the common good
We like to follow new paths
At Drumlerhof, we see ourselves as the missionaries. As missionaries of the future. For this reason, we have drawn up a Common Goods Balance as one of the first hotels in South Tyrol. All of our economic activities focus on the wellbeing of humans, not to our own advantage or in a financial aspect. For us, it is important to design our future humanely, respectfully, ecologically and in solidarity with great respect to humans, animals and nature. We therefore dedicate a lot of effort to the Economy for the Common Good project, and all of the activities in our hotel are based on these principles. We feel, that we are on the right path. We want to contribute to our world remaining a liveable home.

Tuesday, 8 AM (Austin, TX)
Chicago traffic is just something else. After the long, but scenic drive, we finally arrived at our hotel. We stayed at The Radisson Blu Aqua, and goodness gracious it was stunning! The super swanky hotel boasted some beautiful views of Millenium Park. This might sound silly, but I fell in love with the teal carpet inside my room. The lobby also had this gorgeous gold fireplace. I charged all my devices, finished up some more work, and got ready for dinner. More pictures of the hotel below!
The view outside my room had Millenium Park on the right (pictured below!) and this track down below. If I had brought my running shoes, maybe I would've gone for a run...maybe. Haha!
Once all of the ladies arrived to the hotel, we headed straight to dinner. Since I opted out of lunch to work, I was starving and couldn't wait for dinner. We took a cab to The Hampton Social, one of the top-trending restaurants on Instagram and most definitely the trendiest seafood restaurant I've ever been to. I met all the girls, got to know more about our project, and enjoyed down some delicious food. There were lots of options, but I went for the most seemingly adventurous item on the menu: squid ink linguine with lump crab. Lemme tell ya...it was so tasty, and I highly recommend it. Another thing I loved were those crispy bacon, Parmesan brussel sprouts. So good. Funnily enough, the Cubs game was going on and when they scored their first home run, the entire restaurant cheered in excitement.
I was completely stuffed from dinner, but some of us suggested having a second dinner at Lou Malnati's. Unfortunately, there was a 45 minute wait at that specific location, so we went straight for dessert at Ghirardelli. Though it's not a Chicago specialty, this location was in the beautiful Wrigley Building downtown, and that view just cannot be beat. The eight of us shared a few sundaes and cones, and we also received some hot chocolates to go. It felt so good holding my warm cup of salted hot chocolate in my hands outside in the cold, rainy weather.
Tuesday, 11 PM (Chicago, IL)
We decided to head back in early, because we knew it would get pretty wild from the game. I took a small detour and got lost, but this view of the city totally made up for it. There would be a long day ahead, so I watched the game from the hotel, finished my hot chocolate, and cheered on the Cubs in the comfort of my favorite jammies and my bed.
After the fun photo ops, we headed back to the hotel, so we could catch our ride to the airport and fly home. The cozy fireplace was the perfect place to eat take-out deep dish, take a nap, and chit chat with everyone before we had to part ways.
I'm so glad I got to give you a little inside peek of my trip, y'all! As a student, it's rare to get the opportunity to pack your bags and jet off someplace else without the responsibilities of books and homework. If given the chance, I think everyone should take time for themselves and experience traveling outside their own city. Unfortunately, this week of school hit me like a brick, so I had to get back to work fast! With my last lab of the semester, a major exam, an injury, the election results, and a fever with symptoms of bronchitis, it's safe to say I want to curl up in bed for the weekend. Did you know that 10 Things I Hate About You is on Netflix? If you've seen my Seattle Travel Guide, you know I can't get enough of this movie. You can bet I'll be curled up in bed watching it this weekend!

Eye make-up tips for brown eyes are easy. Since brown colour is a combination of many colours, almost all the eye shadows work well for brown eyes.
Eyes come in a wide range of colours and there is a suitable colour palette in eye make up for each shade.
Make up tips for brown eyes are the easiest of all because almost every shade goes with them. Starting from the lightest of gold, just a shimmer maybe, to the dark charcoal of the smoky eye look, everything works well for brown eyes.
People with brown eyes can create visual interest with a natural look or focus on a dramatic look with more intense colours. But just like with other eye colours, there are different shades of brown.
The following tips will tell you which colours will look good on you if you have brown eyes and which you should avoid.Brown eyes can be broadly divided into four categories:
Deep dark brown
Most eye makeup colours that are in the medium to dark range, will work for this eye shade. However, there is always a chance of eyes looking too dark and somewhat harsh, hence it is better to stick to the medium colour range and use a highlighter matching the lighter flecks of colour in your eyes. The contrast between the dark colours and the highlights will make your eyes sparkle.
Medium Brown
Mauves, violets and purples look great with this eye colour. On the other end of the spectrum, gold, copper and bronze will also look gorgeous. Most shades of green eye shadow will look good (think of brown and green together in nature; they look so fresh). For a subtle look with fewer colours, eye shadow can be used just to line the eyes. For a completely different look, use multiple colours.
Light Brown
Women with light brown eyes look quite striking, especially if they are done up properly with the correct shades. It is good to remember that this beautiful shade of eyes should not be overpowered with a lot of colours. Light brown eyes with golden flecks in them look gorgeous with a pale yellow highlight. Limit the use of dark shadows to the crease area. And instead of black eyeliner, consider using a dark brown one; it will make your eyes 'pop'.
Women with hazel eyes look great with colours that are a little darker than their skin tone. Hazel eyes will really stand out if they are lined with violet, bronze or dark brown. Mauve and champagne work well as eye shadows, whereas apricot and light pink would be good choices for highlights. And as black overpowers hazel, it might be a good idea to skip the eyeliner.
Unlike other eye colours, brown does not have an opposite or complementary colour. This is because brown is a combination of other colours. That is why, technically all eye shadow colours work for brown eyes.
Having said that, one of the best colours for making-up brown eyes is mauve. Play around with different shades of this attractive colour and you can't go wrong. Once you are done with the eye shadow and liner part, finish with two coats of mascara, remembering to let each application dry before doing the next one. Go for dark brown if your eyes are hazel or light brown, otherwise use black.

Replacement of Shocks & Struts
Although the shocks and struts in your vehicle last a long time and wear out pretty slowly, they may eventually need replacing. As they begin to wear and weaken over time, they can reduce your vehicle's stability and cause excessive tire wear. Replacing worn shocks and struts will save money, plus help ensure save travels for you and your passengers.
Need new shocks or struts? We've got you covered.
If you need new shocks or struts, or you'd like to have them inspected, let Davis Car Care help you take care of this important safety service. Our ASE Certified auto technicians will inspect the shocks, struts, and springs in your vehicle's steering and suspension systems for signs of wear or damage.
If we find that replacement is necessary, we will replace your shocks and struts and make suspension repairs. You'll feel better, and you'll save money on tires and other suspension repairs down the road.
We strive to give our Virginia Beach customers the best experience possible. That's why with every visit to Davis we check your air pressure, reset your maintenance light, top off your washer fluid, vacuum the front of the vehicle, and place a bag of candy in your car to sweeten the ride home.

Or How Long Will We Allow this Asshole to Remain President?
|Trump at 2003 Playboy party with Melania and Victoria Silvstedt
With the "removal" of former Gen. McMaster, Congressional Republicans may want to rethink their position on Mueller. No one is safe in the Trump universe, least of all American interests. This guy operates on the one simple premise: anything to protect himself.
A "blunt warning" simply doesn't cut it. This man has no respect for anyone in Congress or throughout the country for that matter. We saw that in how he chose to dismiss Tillerson, a billionaire oil executive, and now McMaster, a 3-star general. Both were well respected, the latter exceedingly so. But, they are both gone because their recognition of Russia as the most serious threat to our national security and global interests didn't resonate with their Commander-in-Chief, who continues to dodge any serious sanctions, much less strong words against Russia.
Instead, he initiates a trade war with China, which has everyone saying, "what the fuck?" This is a trade war the US simply can't win, because our economy is too dependent on Chinese cheap imports. Even Donald's line of merchandise is largely made in China and Bangladesh, not to mention much of Ivanka's already high-priced line of clothing. Are Americans willing to fork out the extra dollars for a MAGA cap?
At what point, do we say enough is enough? We've allowed this madman to run the country for 14 months. The only thing keeping his head above water is a bouyant economy left by his predecessor. I won't mention names here. However, Trump's reckless trade policies and his recent decision to roll back financial regulations threatens to sink our economy at a time most Americans are finally benefiting from it. Basically, he's cutting off his nose to spite his face, and all of ours in turn.
Why are Congressional Republicans at such great pains to act? They have to know Trump will do everything in his power to thwart Mueller's investigation and if that means firing him, so be it! Why should he care about hollow threats coming out of disgruntled Republicans like Jeff Flake.
Trump loves controversy. He's thrived on it all his life because he has always had a big cushion to fall back on. Even when his businesses went bankrupt, Trump enjoyed the Life of Reily. He was even able to parlay all these failures into a long-running reality show, The Apprentice, giving us his eponymous "you're fired!"
What we are finding out through Mueller's investigation is that Trump has long relied on Russian financial backing to cushion his falls, especially after Papa Trump died. His properties became part of an elaborate money laundering scheme for Russian oligarchs, when no one else would touch them. This is what Putin has on Trump, along with numerous other things, including the infamous pee tape, which may indeed be real. This guy has no moral scruples, given the recent allegations from Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, that a "pee tape" is certainly not out of the question.
Do we really want to be dragged into Trump's depraved life anymore than we already are? He has made the United States into an international embarrassment, far greater than anything we had to suffer under George W. Bush. No one respects Trump. He has become the laughing stock of German parades and public toilets in Ireland. No previous president suffered these kinds of indignities.
Yet, our president appears to crave this attention, as he makes ever more stupid decisions that led Jean-Claude Juncker to scratch his head and ponder what the appropriate response is to Trump's recent steel and aluminum tariffs, saying "we can also do stupid."
The rest of the world can only sit by while Trump runs America into the gutter, but Congress can act. It has the power to tell Trump, "You're Fired!"

Divination Lecture: "Happiness: What Your Mother Didn't Tell You"
Most of us think we know what would make us happy and that our only problem is getting it. But research in psychology, economics, and neuroscience shows that people are not very good at predicting what will make them happy, how happy it will make them, and how long that happiness will last.
The Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology at Harvard University presents the free lecture "Happiness: What Your Mother Didn't Tell You" on Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at the Geological Lecture Hall (24 Oxford St., Cambridge) at 6:00 PM. A reception will follow at the Peabody Museum (11 Divinity Avenue). The lecture is the fourth in a year-long series about divination.
Is the problem that we can't really imagine what our futures will hold? Is the problem that society lies to us about the true sources of human happiness? Yes, and yes again. Harvard professor of psychology and bestselling author of Stumbling on Happiness Daniel Gilbert will explain why, when it comes to finding happiness, we can't always trust our imaginations—or our mothers.
Daniel Gilbert has won numerous awards for his research and teaching, including the American Psychological Association's Distinguished Scientific Award for an Early Career Contribution to Psychology. In 2008 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
His 2007 book, Stumbling on Happiness, spent 6 months on the New York Times bestseller list, has being translated into 30 languages, and was awarded the Royal Society's General Book Prize for best science book of the year.
In 2010, he hosted and co-wrote the award-winning NOVA television series This Emotional Life which was seen by more than 10 million viewers.
He is a contributor to Time, The New York Times, and NPR's All Things Considered, and has been a guest on numerous television shows including The Today Show, Charlie Rose, 20/20, and The Colbert Report.
His first TED talk is one of the 15 most popular of all time.

Beauty chooses no season. Thus, even in the cold, snowy freezing winter, let your inner goddess fires up the entire place with your hot fiery eyes matched your innocent alluring look, all with a touch of some eye shadow, mascara and eyeliner.
Winter season is one of moments perfect for holiday retreats, parties and gatherings with your colleagues, friends and families. Different people from different places gather to meet because of the coming of holiday vacations. So don't let the chilly atmosphere and critical crowds worry you from making you the best, go out, wear some makeup and let everyone gaze at you – bragging your looks, making your beauty stand out and run the winter with your irresistible beauty.
Though eyes and shapes of faces differ from one person to another, these are the top trendy eye makeup tips for winter 2012 to 2013 that will truly bring you to stardom.
1. For women who have small eyes, their secret solution is eyeliner. It can really be a godsend lifesaver for people who want to have some depth on their eyes. Just apply a little amount of eyeliner on the top lid to give you an oozing expressive look. Also, in case you're fond of using liquid eye liner, just put little lines in the inner and outer corner of the eye then connect it in the middle. Pencil eyeliner however, should always be put in the bottom lead as it is much better to use. A perfect night out with your friends with a cat's eye beauty makes you look sexy and attractive.
2. Though smoky eyes never come out of trend, this time, make it look more stylish and innovative. Redefined it in a much unique and creative way by using bi-colors. Use the darker shades of brown, taupe and golden, to ensure that the eyes portray a much darker revealing tone. Don't forget also to pair it with gray and blue, black and gray or golden and brown to unveil its dazzling effects making it more dramatic to see. With these stunning eyes, you can just wear nude makeup and lipstick to complete the whole thing.
3. If you love experimenting colors, then this is the best trendy make up for you this winter. All you have to do is to choose these playful yet sweet eye shadows of pink, beige and brown. A shade of chocolate and purple is perfect too. But if you want to have that powerful and luminous look, then choose the shades of silver and golden. Put a touch of pinkish blush and complete your makeup with orange lips.
4. If simple yet mesmerizing look is what you desire this winter, then play with lighter eye shadows on the top of your entire eyelid. You can also extend it up to your brows. Wearing a mascara or eyeliner is not really an option if you want it to be as plain as possible, just wear a light red lipstick and pink blush so you can get the simplest yet trendy style you want.
5. Daring and tantalizing eyes are the trends and hottest this winter season so if you have a skin of porcelain, think no more and choose the dazzling orange color for your eyes to emphasize its luminous and sophisticated detail. This makeup is best for special occasions and important gatherings.
6. Since winter needs warm looks, purple eye shadows bring fire to your eyes. Drawing your inspiration from the look of retro makeup, the color makes you stand out. Just make sure to use it with moderation and put fine lines at the roots of your eyelashes to emphasize details.
7. If you want to have that rebellious yet sexy look this winter, then it all depends on how you do your brows. Just keep your brows natural in terms of shape and color. Then buy a creamy texture eyebrow pencil and apply it carefully to reveal its natural glow. Using a special gel, style your brow upwards to complete the look you desire.
Our eyes play a very important role on our face. It is a portal of beauty which reveals our goddess within. With a simple touch of fashion and latest and hottest trend in makeup, one single touch of color makes a significant difference in your chilly winter season.

Founded in 1989 with the goal of building the best fertility programme possible, ORM is recognised globally for its consistently high live birth success rates, individualised care, and innovative leadership. This goal and the drive to help patients be successful with their first cycle permeates every facet of the IVF process and customised patient care at ORM. It led ORM, in 1999, to utilise the expertise of Intel clean room facility engineers, to develop its pioneering embryology laboratory clean room, one of the first in the world. More recently, it has been behind ORM's commitment to making industry-leading genetic screening and testing available to its patients.
By its nature, IVF is an immensely complex procedure. Every patient and cycle is inherently unique. For patients to better understand the factors that contribute to a successful IVF cycle it's helpful to divide the IVF cycle into four stages, each of which providers need to optimise to give the patient the best chance of success on the first attempt. These are: optimising the quality of the eggs; the embryology lab; selecting normal embryos; and optimising the transfer. Each of these stages of course has multiple critical components and no one single step or stage in an IVF cycle is the silver bullet for success. Success is driven by the cumulative impact of getting each component and stage in the IVF process right for each patient so that the potential for success is optimised.
