I just want to leave a note of how proud I am of Hillary Clinton; not just these past 100 days either! Listen to I Know You There by Casting Crowns~ That is a true song from my heart to hers!
Love, Light, & Brightest Blessings,

Great Job! Thanks.
Karen M. in Washington, DC writes:
And OH what a wonderful 100 day's they've been. You make us proud Mdm. Secretary -- go get 'em!
Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
The amazing level of energy with which Hillary Rodham Clinton has addressed her duties during these first 100 days, the 13 page State Department brief documenting those first 100 days, and this lovely photo album attest to the truth that many of us predicted when she accepted the post: Hillary is the most vibrant, visible, brilliant, impassioned, warm, outgoing, and able Secretary of State we have ever seen. She's also easy on the eyes and ears -- more than easy -- a real pleasure to watch and listen to.
Hillary, on my grade roster, you have an A+ (many pluses) for your hard work. We have seen you working hard all of your life. It is no surprise to your supporters that you have tackled this job with such enthusiasm and skill. Thank you so much for all that you do in service to your country and to us, your fellow citizens. I'll never get tired of watching you never getting tired -- and looking beautiful doing so.
Go Hillary! Awesome work! A+!!!!!!!!

100 Days....giving 100%
Larry in Florida writes:
Secretary Clinton is in the correct job. I am sure that she would have been a fine leader, however, she is a powerful Secretary of State. From her experiences gain as First Lady, she appears to be more erudite in foreign affairs than Obama.
Great team!
I am an admirer of both.
Helen in Pennsylvania writes:
Thank you for posting all the wonderful pics of Secretary Clinton's 100 days in office.
Lisa in California writes:
I love following Secretary Clinton on Twitter! Many thanks for posting these wonderful photos. She is an outstanding Secretary of State and a brilliant Diplomat!
Hillary, we love you here in California and you have our 100% support! I literally sleep so much better just knowing you are on our team in Washington.
I will never stop keeping the Dream alive that someday you will be our President!
Until then,May God continue to Bless you Mightily and guide you in all that you do for our country.
Joann in California writes:
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Hillary is making us all proud.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
If I were to assess the merits of the first 100 days, I must first note the continuity in policy of international outreach begun by the Bush admin. in the wake of 9/11, the inception of many programs addressing diverse social problems that the Obama admin. has built its founding principals of current "post-review" policy. (isn't it always constantly reviewed in one aspect or another?)
This has aided the "comfort level " among other nations with the transition between presidents.
More importantly the programs and actions, PSI, Millenium challemnge, AIDS relief through Pepfar, Other disease mitigation efforts, the payment of UN dues, and back to back multilateral crisis efforts throughout the Bush admin have set the stage for the human race to embark on a truly cooperative venture to safeguard humanity's future.
It's not a static experiment, evolving from experience and "on the job training" in the face of the unknown, unknowable, and never predictable with total accuracy.
On futures and probability a civilization drinks, economy and stability interlinked.
Greed and disharmny abound inspite of hope, no help for the many dead. Political will in shambles.
All of us flying in the face of neglect to that which sustains us.
Who are these ursurpers of dreams?
Don't tread on me.
Jen in Michigan writes:
My two elementary school aged nieces and I have enjoyed following Secretary Clinton's travels throughout the world. She gets an A+ from all three of us!
Gloria in the Philippines writes:
I love Hillary
Patrick in Maryland writes:
Dear , Hillary And States Department personnel. :)
I think your doing a "Great Job" .These last 100 days you have been working very hard for our country. I liked that the States Department is going Green, and starting new programs to save Energy. I also thought it was nice that the Obama administration has appointed Todd Stern to be our Climate Change Ambassador. I think between Hillary's and Obama's work towards improving our Relations, with other countries the United States is going in the right direction.
I hope Hillary's allergys get better. Have a great weekend.
Margaret in New Jersey writes:
I give our SOS an A+++++++++++++++++. Hillary is awesome and I wish her continued success.
Amy in South Carolina writes:
I am SO proud of Secretary Clinton! What a tremendous asset to our country, and to our relationships around the world. You are the BEST, Sec. Clinton!
Zain in New Jersey writes:
Thank you Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for doing so well your first 100 days! The American people are behind you 100%!!
Joe in Tennessee writes:
I viewed yesterdays CSPAN of a foreign officers meeting late last night and must admit that Secretary of State Clinton does have her eye on the ball when she made a statement as to Russians new buildings of Culture centers in places such as Pyongyang North Korea. I wonder if she also knew that Russia did have an official there when the missile was launched.
In any event, it is a diplomatic position and it can be surmised in one short statement: People are talking who did not in the past...and that is diplomacy.
Even the CATO institute gave some decent grades on International diplomacy -- and they go out of their way many times to find the one authority to find a flaw on either side of the fence -- so Kudos!
Sarah in Illinois writes:
thanks for the photo post!
Patricia S. in New York writes:
Congratulations to Secretary Clinton and her staff.
If not the Whitehouse then the World.
Emma in New York writes:
Dear Secretary Clinton, I just wanted to say that all your hard work with the many hours you work for your country are much appreciated. You have achieved 100% for the 100 days in office. I feel America has missed out on what could have been a brilliant President, but i am glad we have someone I fully trust in the State Dept. You have made diplomacy key to the future of American politics. I was moved by the recent speech you made honouring the 25 yr old man who lost his life, you obvioulsly care about people who serve their country. I am sure your hard work will be one day get you the position in government you fully deserve.
Susan in Florida writes:
Secretary Clinton, you are doing an incredible job, very impressive. A special thank you for helping to restore our honor and reputation around the world. Ron in NY said...100% all of the time. Thank you, it is definitely appreciated.
Donald in Virginia writes:
We offer ideas, suggestions, input, agree or even dis-agree about comments and it doesn't lead to casualties of war. We are adults, we use or try to use good content and share our wealth of experience, knowledge and expertise on subject matters that can help the United States of America! We do this because we care about our country. The United States is not about Republicans or Democrats, it's about all Americans, all Races and all religons in our Country. It's also about the world we live in today. This forum is needed to help the State Department, the President of the United States and even our Congress and United State Senate have a pulse on citizens views. Godbless America!
Signed, Don
Patricia S. in New York writes:
I just read, in The New York Daily News, that Secretary Clinton's approval rating is higher than President Obama's. The President's approval rating is 66% - Secretary Clinton's approval rating is 71%. As I posted on DipNote, on 5.2.09. - "if not the White House - then the World."
The World won and so did all its citizens.
Brian in California writes:
I as well echo Patricia S.'s senitiments. Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton has done an exquisite job as chief diplomat to the world. God Bless America....God Bless Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Mmm, observational analysis of the war of ideas would indicate that the Flat Earth society has been all but wiped out...
..The Soviet empire has crumbled due to lack of interest in persuing an ideology... and al-quaida has failed to recruit the masses 'cause it brought forth an unworthy idea through abhorrent means.
Ideas, my friend, are extremely dangerous. Mostly to the status quo. We as a human race have climbed a mountain of "casualties" and called it "progress".
The concept of "Karma" is simply put, reaping what you sow. It goes way beyond this, and forms the basis of living in peace with your actions in the world, manifest from an idea, born of a thought.
In general prncipal;
People who bring trouble between them to your door, are asking you to engage in their karma, and feed it. They often blame you when it's still unresolved opon leaving.
If you've taken sides, one blames the consequences of the other's action opon you. You have just incurred karma and have done so by allowing the dispute to continue in your home first, and in siding with a disputant, and the attachment to the conflict that it represents, secondly.
I'm speaking as if it were two individuals involved, not nations. Though karma as a fixture in the human condition has international repurcussions in every aspect of foreign relations.
I think it's fair to say that if you save someone's life, you have incurred karma as well. It can be said that in saving a man's life, you are half responsible for that man's actions for the rest of his days, but only half so, the other half is his responsibility.
Karma works both ways, good and bad, with intended and unintended consequence potentially manifest.
Such are parameters of attachment to ideas.

100 days and the "reset" button still doesn't work.
1. North Korea restarted work on nuclear weapons;
2. NATO is completely ignoring Russian objections;
3. Russia is ready to intervene in NATO exercises in Georgia;
4. Britain is banning Americans from entering Britain on account of their free speech in America (i.e. Michael Savage, an American citizen and talk show host);
5. The Swiss are outraged at our behavior in extorting secret numbered account information;
6. Iran is not talking to us;
7. China cut up our federal credit card;
8. Jackson-Vanik legislation still restricts trade;
9. The Taliban is close to taking Pakistan;
10. Iraq gave us 30 days to remove our troops from their cities after which Iran will be their predominant influence.
On the plus side, OPEC members are considerably less solvent than before, but so are we.
So what's to celebrate?
Did we win an office softball game?
John in Greece writes:
@ Zharkov in U.S.A. -- 100 days are only 100 days, certainly not 48 or even 96 months. Contact: DipNoteGod.sp (space) if you believe in miracles!
Everybody understands Z that NO Administration could have achieved in just 100 days:
1. to make North Korea change stance
2. to make Russia understand that they are not NATO's moderator
3. to make Russia understand that nobody needs Putin's permission to proceed with NATO exercises in Georgia. There is no Soviet Union anymore! It used to be, but "died"
4. (I won't comment on the "Britain's issue" you refer -- I don't know the subject) Nevertheless, I believe that England is still one -- maybe the most dedicated -- of U.S.'s strongest allies and friends
5. to make Swiss understand that they were/are the worst "laundry country" in the world for many decades. We (West) have every right to have full access to any secret numbered account info and they should give all these info YESTERDAY, if we really want to stop worldwide political corruption and organized crime
6. Bring Democracy to Iran? Iran is the new millennium Hitler. What can you do, when you have to deal with fanatic religious dictators and "priests" that are psychos, in just 100 days?
7. Make China understand that they will soon end up like Soviets? China has cut up every western contact since the "0th" century. Some people think that they have opened their doors to capitalism. Sure! (irony) China knows that their only way to keep this kind of communistic "federation" is keeping 99% of the People away from West. They will soon end up dismembered too -- like Soviets
All the above are VERY TOUGH issues!
I think that's enough from me for now.
In fact, we cannot have a clear resolution in 100 days. I know -- through your comments -- that you are a Republican. So, I can understand your stance. And you have every right to think like this. However, moreover, you are American!
Give the new Administration some time for bringing results!
They travel worldwide.
They act.
They work hard.
Success is near!

Garmin G1000 Avionics Suite Type Certified for Piper Archers
FAA has issued type certification for integration of the Garmin G1000 avionics suite into new single-engine Piper Archer aircraft, scheduled for first availability later this year.
The G1000 avionics suite, which includes the GRS777 Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), will replace the G500 suite which is currently standard on Piper Archers. Piper has received initial fleet orders for the G1000-equipped Archers from the Florida Institute of Technology and CAE Oxford Aviation Academy.
Oxford is scheduled to receive 22 single-engine Archers in 2013, and Florida Institute of Technology's College of Aeronautics will receive eight Archer TX training airplanes, Piper said.
"With this milestone approval from the FAA, the G1000 Archer will be able to put flight-critical data at the finger tips of future Archer pilots," said Simon Caldecott, president and CEO of Piper.

FBI Opens Fresh Criminal Investigation Into Anonymous Following Hack
Jason Mick
February 8, 2013 11:42 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Bankers affected say it's no big deal
Jo David Cummins, president and CEO of Community First Bank of the Heartland in Illinois, laughs off
' mid-January "hack"
of a
U.S. Federal Reserve
database, which scooped up his record and over 4,000 others. He
, "It hasn't been much of a hassle. The information that was on the contact system was the same thing that was on my business card, so it wasn't like it was anything that could do any harm to me or the bank."
I. Adobe Flaw Likely Exploited by Hackers.
But while it may not be a big deal for most of the affected, the
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation
and the Federal Reserve are taking the incident very seriously. Comments Federal Reserve spokesman Jim Strader, "We are in the process of a comprehensive assessment to determine what information might have been obtained in this incident. We remain confident that this incident did not affect critical operations of the Federal Reserve."
The site that the information leaked from was dubbed
Emergency Communication System
(ECS). While protected by passwords and encryption,
was able to circumvent those barriers.
It's possible that the attackers used an SQL injection (aka "
Little Bobby Tables
") style attack. Such attacks can be prevented if the requests were sanitized.
However, it's also possible that the hackers exploited well-known security flaws in Adobe Systems, Inc.'s (
) Cold Fusion suite, which the site was built upon. In mid-January -- right about the time of the attack -- Adobe patched several critical security flaws that could allow malicious users access to restricted files and even allow them to takeover servers.
An Adobe flaw may have been responsible for the Fed hack. [Image Source: Adobe]
In the
press release
for the patch, Adobe stated:
This hotfix addresses vulnerabilities that could permit an unauthorized user to remotely circumvent authentication controls, potentially allowing the attacker to take control of the affected server... Adobe is aware of reports that four vulnerabilities (CVE-2013-0625, CVE-2013-0629, CVE-2013-0631 and CVE-2013-0632, referenced in Security Advisory APSA13-01)
are being exploited in the wild against ColdFusion customers.
A 2012 audit at the Fed suggested that a monitoring system be put in place to review security at third-party systems. It's possible the ECS system may fall under that category.
The Federal Reserve System is the backbone of the American banking industry, established before the Great Depression. The oft-criticized institution is a strange mix of private and public parts.
On the public side, regional Fed banks are largely owned by nationally chartered commercial banks, which are required to be shareholders in their local branch. On the other hand, the federal government selects and controls the salary of many of the system's top officials; indeed the President himself personally appoints Fed's Board of Governors.
II. Hackers Still Flaming Mad About Swartz's Death
Many members of the quasi-leaderless hacktivist group
have been vocal opponents of the Fed and the U.S. commercial banking industry in general, which they label as corrupt and exploitive.
The recent attack is part of the group's
dramatically titled "OpLastResort"
. The operation is a manifestation of the explosion of anger over the death of online activist Aaron Swartz. Mr. Swartz, who designed the RSS, reportedly tragically committed suicide last month after fighting a long battle
with depression and government harassment
Federal prosecutors had investigated Mr. Swartz after he dumped 4 million papers from the JSTOR network. JSTOR hosts peer-reviewed journal papers, most of which cost money to access. Critics of Mr. Swartz's actions argue that journal fees help sustain the costly march of research in fields such as physics, biology, and genetics. But his supporters argue that academic research should be free to all, not pent up in some ivory cage.
Aaron Swartz
Even some of his critics, though, balked at how the feds allegedly harassed him for the breach.
A pair
of petitions
to fire the prosecutors involved with the criminal case -- Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve Heymann and his boss U.S. District Attorney Carmen Ortiz -- has been attracting substantial attention. The petition to remove DA Ortiz has already received 25,000 signatures, meaning that President Barack Obama must respond to it.
III. Sabu to be Sentenced
In a related reminder, former
mastermind Hector Xavier Monsegur (handles: "Sabu", "Xavier DeLeon", and "Leon") is set to be sentenced on Feb. 22. Mr. Monsegur had founded the sub-unit of
and in 2011
led it in hacking Sony
Corp. (TYO:6758)
and also
breaching government sites
Hacker "messiah" Hector Monsegur, a former member of
's upper echelon is set to be sentenced later this month. His sentence will likely be greatly reduced for his role in "snitching" on his fellow hackers. [Image Source: Fox News]
Unbeknownst to his cohorts, Mr. Monsegur was located by the FBI and offered a plea deal. The hacker accepted, and for the next few months continued to lead attacks, while
allegedly serving as a double agent
, feeding feds information that helped them
track down other top members
such as Topiary
, a 19-year-old who was
arrested in the UK's Shetland Islands
The hacker was given a sentencing reprieve due to concerns about his safety and his ongoing cooperation with federal investigations. He has plead guilty to 12 federal computer crimes, which carry a maximum theoretical sentence of 124-years. It is likely that his sentences will at a bare minimum be reduced to being served consecutively (which greatly slashes his prison time -- for example Bank Fraud, one of his charged offenses, carries a maximum 30 year sentence).
"A politician stumbles over himself... Then they pick it out. They edit it. He runs the clip, and then he makes a funny face, and the whole audience has a Pavlovian response." -- Joe Scarborough on John Stewart over Jim Cramer

By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that mainly affects the face. Typically, rosacea is characterized by facial redness and flushing. There may also be burning or stinging, persistent spots, and prominent blood vessels across affected areas. Over time, the skin may thicken and enlarge and eventually cause deformity, particularly of the nose.
Rosacea affects around 10% of all individuals and is most common among fair skinned Caucasians aged 30 to 60 years. Although either gender may develop rosacea, the condition is more common among women than men.
The exact cause of rosacea is not yet known but there are several triggers that may worsen symptoms and cause a "flare-up" of the condition. These triggers include:
The diagnosis of rosacea is usually based on evaluation of a patient's history of symptoms and an examination of the skin. A physician may also want to rule out other conditions that could cause similar symptoms to rosacea such as acne, eczema or psoriasis. In some rare cases the skin is biopsied to confirm the diagnosis.
There is no known cure for rosacea but there are several medications that are used to control symptoms of the condition. In most cases, these symptoms tend to increase and decrease in their severity, with episodes of "flare-ups" interspersed by periods of relatively fewer and less bothersome symptoms. The main focus of rosacea management is the avoidance of triggers that may induce a flare-up of symptoms.
Medications used to manage the condition include antibiotics that may be topically applied or orally ingested. In severe cases, a retinoid called isotretinoin may be prescribed for the treatment of acne. However, this medication cannot be used by pregnant women or those who are likely to conceive during therapy as it may cause severe birth defects. Another medication that may be recommended is azelaic acid, a gel that can be applied to reduce the swelling, bumps and lesions rosacea causes.

We are a mixed animal practice in North Central Ohio. Approximately 40% swine, 40%small animal, 15% dairy, 5% equine/small ruminant/beef. The species that we care for are cats, dogs, cattle, equine, sheep, goats and pigs. Currently we have one full time small animal veterinarian, one full time mixed, mostly large animal veterinarian and one full time mostly swine veterinarin. A student would be welcome to work with any of the vets in the practice depending on the caseload for that day.
Associate Veterinarians and special expertise available
It is somewhat unique that this practice has a strong swine focus. Dr. Todd Price is the veterinarian providing the majority of these services.
Educational Resources
- small library of reference books
- internet access
- doctor rounds
- discussions on the road, etc.
We expect students to show up on time, ready to participate in the day's activities. We enjoy mentoring and working with students, and a student will get as much out of this experience as they desire. We can accomodate some end of day scheduling issues but if we are running farm calls, it's best to not have too many end of day commitments. We can't always make it back to the office at a particular time. We want our students to ask questions, talk to our clients, share their experiences from school and jump right in. We have a fairly relaxed, small clinic atmosphere and the doctors and staff work together to care for the patients.
Student Supervision
10 hours/day; 5.5 days/week

This April, Fifth Third Bank is accepting some very different deposits: namely canned foods, peanut butter and boxes of cereal. It's the organization's Fourth Annual "Feeding our Communities" food drive in partnership with the Salvation Army.
Up until the 26th, all 65 Fifth Third Bank locations will have food bins to fill. The goal this year is to reach 5,300 pounds. An extra two-plus tons of nonperishables makes a big difference in replenishing the Salvation Army's pantry, who provides up to 4,000 pounds of food to residents in Palm Beach County alone each month. In total, there are more than 810,000 South Floridians struggling with hunger, so a donation of any size goes a long way.
To donate, just stop by your most convenient Fifth Third Bank. And tell your friends and coworkers that every can and box helps—they all go directly towards feeding people in our community who may not otherwise know where their next meals are coming from.

I haven't watched much of the AMC programming but this one caught my eye. Anyone check it out? They had the first episode on as a preview a few weeks ago then the 1st and 2nd played on Sunday night, starting the season. Seems to be a very good mystery/government conspiracy show. The first scene caught my interest right away as an affluent man is reading the paper only to see a four-leaf clover stuck to the page. Of course this prompts him to take one last look at his wife, take out his gun, and shoot himself in the head. The Pacific's James Badge Dale (Leckie) in the lead role. He works for a highly-secretive government agency working on all the behind-the-scenes intel and trying to crack codes on the side.
Looks to be another winner for AMC, especially the way they've been pushing it. Definitely going to be spawning legions of message boards to try and discuss all the signs and mysteries seen throughout the show.

Martin Martinez: a Master of High-Profile Smiles
Posted Nov 15, 2012 in Labs & Profiles
When you're a ceramist at a lab known as the "Lab to the Stars" in Beverly Hills, CA, you know you're going to have some exacting clients. But Martin Martinez's painstaking attention to detail and artistic talents—he's also a painter and illustrator—make him the man for the job.
"Our clients are often working on very high-profile smiles, so they're very particular about everything from contacts to texture to color," says Martinez, who has been at the lab for 11 years. "We have dentists who choose five different colors to use on one crown or send CDs full of photos and detailed notes. A few clients even request that I email photos of each fabrication step so they can monitor the process. Sometimes the requests can double the time it takes to fabricate a case."
Add to that the common request for rush cases, patients regularly coming in for custom shades, and the occasional call to go to the dental office to adjust a shade on the spot, and you can imagine what his day is like. But it doesn't seem to ruffle him. "It gets easier with experience. You just have to be careful, make a checklist and be sure you hit all the points the clients are looking for," says Martinez, making it sound so easy.
Somehow Martinez also found time—while working 15-hour days—to earn a degree in management last year, fitting in online courses and homework at night and on the weekends. He's already put some of his education to work by reorganizing workflow and helping to increase efficiency. But when it comes to his ceramic work, he continues to draw on his skills as an artist. "Working on art and working on teeth complement each other; the more I do of one, the better I get at the other," he says.

Discover the various stories behind the creation of the Egg's Benedict�along with a classic recipe.
The following essay is excerpted from James Winter's Book,�Who put the Beef in Wellington?: 50 Culinary Classics, Who Invented Them, When and Why. The book is one of our favorites of 2013 and featured in our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide for the Serious Home Cook. The year was 1890-something; Manhattan was a�thriving, bustling island. Wall Street was emerging�as the smart road to work on. Guys called John D.�Rockefeller and J. P. Morgan had set up shop and�people were trading shares daily, while a man named�Charles Dow (later to hook up with Edward Davis�Jones and become synonymous with the New York�Stock Exchange) kept track of the dozen or so stocks�in his reports.�This was a time of furious creation.�Just two blocks south from Wall Street�was Delmonico�s, a restaurant as ritzy as New�York could get. In charge of the kitchen was a�Frenchman called Charles Ranhofer, but he was�no run-of-the-mill French chef: he�d been sent to�Paris at the age of 12 to study pastry, and by 16�he was running a kitchen for Charles d�H�nin, the�Count of Alsace, at his ancestral home of Ch�teau�Bourl�mont in Lorraine. By 20, he was cooking in�New York for the Russian consul and in 1862, still�only 26, he was in charge of Delmonico�s. Ranhofer liked to invent and New York was the�perfect playground. He was able to combine classic�French techniques with New World pizzazz to draw�a heady crowd, including the likes of Theodore�Roosevelt, Mark Twain, and Oscar Wilde. Ranhofer�liked to name new dishes after his favorite diners�and had already been responsible for Lobster�Duke Alexis (a rich bisque made for the Russian�Emperor), veal pie � la Dickens (yes, that Dickens),�and a pistachio-crusted chicken dish named after�French President Sadi Carnot. He�s credited with�making Baked Alaska the dish it is today�and�Lobster Thermidor. The man was the Heston Blumenthal�of his day, the perfect combination of showmanship�and technique. He also loved a challenge.�One particular day around 1890, the challenge�was set him by a Delmonico�s regular, a�stockbroker called LeGrand Lockwood Benedict. �Having done a few deals in the morning, LeGrand�settled down to lunch with his wife Sarah. It is�now that the story gets hazy. Some say it was�LeGrand himself who asked Ranhofer to show�him something new, others say that it was Sarah�who, with the ma�tre d�, discussed a concoction of�poached eggs, hollandaise, ham, and bread. This�latter version was described in a letter to The New�York Times magazine in 1967 by a Mabel C. Butler,�who claimed to be related to Sarah Benedict. Mabel�was contradicting an article by the paper�s food�expert Craig Claiborne, which reported that the dish�was first made by a Commodore E. C. Benedict�while living in France. To this day, descendants of�both Benedict families claim the legacy.�In yet another variant, the inspiration is a�New York stockbroker called Lemuel Benedict,�alleged to have been served the eggs in the Waldorf�Hotel some years later (1894) when he walked in�demanding a hangover cure. Whatever the truth may be, in 1894 Ranhofer�published his great work, The Epicurean, and�included a recipe for Eggs � la Benedick [sic]. In�so doing, he effectively claimed the dish as his�own creation. Two years later it appeared in Fannie�Farmer�s revised edition of the bestselling Boston�Cooking-School Cook Book. While inclusion in�Ranhofer�s book put the dish firmly on the road to�international culinary fame, Farmer�s endorsement�meant that it reached nearly every housewife in the�country. At some point it even attained the status of�having its own special day�in the United States�April 16 is National Eggs Benedict Day. The dish�s popularity�at any time of the day�and with or without a hangover�has led to copy�after copy. Variations range from Eggs Florentine�(with the addition of spinach) through Eggs�Proven�ale (the hollandaise is replaced by b�arnaise�sauce) to Artichoke Benedict (the eggs nest on�the leaves of a globe artichoke rather than a muffin).�The Irish even have a version which includes�corned beef. Here is a classic take on Eggs Benedict from Who put the Beef in Wellington? Brought to you by: Relish

Coach USA bus accident closes Route 60
Signs of a struggle
Board chairman Chris Lanski's statement last week was an unexpected bombshell on community members and employees regarding Brooks Memorial Hospital. From 2011 to 2013, the facility that employs some 400 people in Dunkirk has lost $6.3 million.
This year, it is on pace to lose as much as $4 million.
"It's a serious situation," said Gary Rhodes, interim chief executive officer at Brooks Memorial Hospital in an interview with the OBSERVER. "There's no two ways about it. There's no easy fixes. Now the stuff is all difficult."
Rhodes, who also serves as chief executive officer at Kane Community Hospital in Kane, Pa., has no expectation the finances will get better next year. To his disappointment, the hospital is likely to run another deficit in 2015, though the complete process has yet to begin.
"We're on budget (this year)," he noted. "This is where we expected to be."
So bad are the finances that it brought state Sen. Catharine Young to the rally at Washington Park on Thursday regarding the impasse in contract negotiations between the hospital and 175 workers represented by Service Employees International Union 1199. She voiced concern the hospital is headed down the same road as TLC Health Network in Irving.
"I just want you to know that we understand what you do," she said about the staff. "We're grateful for what you do and we want you to be able to continue to do what you do by having a job at Brooks Memorial Hospital."
Rhodes and Jack Davis, vice president of administrative services, met with the OBSERVER last week to give an update on the current labor situation and what the future holds for the financially strapped facility. During the more than one-hour interview, the administrators talked upbeat about plans for the future while emphasizing the current model of the hospital needs to be changed to turn around four years of deficits.
'Control' and contract
To those on the outside, it looked as if Lanski's statement was an attempt to negotiate in public after the SEIU 1199 announced its intention to picket the hospital.
That's a fair observation. In recent years the hospital has not been transparent about its finances, though anyone with a keen interest could look up some of the details on the hospital's Internal Revenue Service 990 reports for 2011 and 2012 online.
Though the 2013 figures with the IRS are not yet available, the 2012 documents reveal the hospital brought in more than $43 million in revenues, but had expenses that exceeded $45 million.
SEIU 1199 workers, according to a union spokeswoman, specifically pin blame on the University at Pittsburgh Medical Center for the woes. "The workers are quite upset about the control that the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center seems to have on the process," said Mindy Berman last week. "The hospital keeps playing that down, but the fact is the three top administrators at the hospital are UPMC people."
Staff of SEIU have been working without a contract since the end of April. "If people don't have good wages and benefits, what does that mean for the local economy?" Berman asked earlier this week.
But Brooks officials say the snag is more about the language in the contract than the salaries. For instance, in the current deal, workers receive overtime before working a 40-hour week. How that would happen is if an employee is scheduled for a eight-hour shift but is asked to stay another 30 minutes. Those 30 minutes – even if the employee does not work 40 hours – are paid at time and a half. "If you work more than your scheduled hours, it's overtime," Rhodes said.
Paid time off for staff are a sticking point as well. Currently, some employees receive more than 40 days off in the contract. Brooks is seeking to lower those numbers.
"Labor is the issue," Rhodes said. "We're talking about reducing paid time off."
Even with a federal mediator called in two months ago, the contract remains unsettled. Some of this may be due to disagreements within the union. Insurance costs and potential providers may also be a point of contention. Hospital administrators did not speak to these issues.
UPMC's role
Lanski's voice in the contract dispute, Rhodes said, is due to state law. Because Rhodes is an interim chief executive officer, the board becomes the negotiator of the contracts.
Currently, Brooks is in a "consulting agreement, not an affiliation agreement," Rhodes said.
Rhodes' interpretation of the consulting agreement is that the nine-member board of directors continues to have control over what happens at the Dunkirk hospital and is not yet considered a part of the Pittsburgh-centered group. As an affiliate, Brooks would become a part of UPMC.
That is different situation than what has happened in Jamestown. WCA Hospital has become an affiliate of UPMC and is listed so on the UPMC website as is the Warren General Hospital located about 70 miles from Dunkirk in Pennsylvania.
Kane Community Hospital, which is where Rhodes is based, also is an affiliate hospital.
Turning the corner
Rhodes and Davis see progress regarding a number of issues as strategic planning for the facility is continuing. Both discussed a number of highlights that have occurred in recent months:
Two new obstetricians and gynecologists have been hired with one already practicing and another coming aboard in October.
Two new pediatricians are also on board and ready to work with Brooks.
Efforts are continuing in recruiting a new general surgeon.
There is a new physician improvement committee that has a goal of recruiting one new primary care physician and one mid-level provider each year. "That's not enough," Rhodes noted, "but that's a start."
A new fast-track approach has begun in the emergency room, ending long delays for those who visit with a minor problem. The initiative is still in the early stages. "Our goal is to get people in and out in 60 minutes and we're pretty close to that," Rhodes said.
Brooks also is on the cusp of a partnership with Westfield Memorial Hospital that would expand its primary care. "What we're trying to do is to serve our communities by providing access," Rhodes said. "The deal there is we do some minor surgeries in (the Westfield) hospital and we do deliveries of babies and those sorts of things (at Brooks)."
To quell concerns about Brooks becoming a satellite facility for both WCA Hospital and UPMC Hamot in Erie, Pa., both Rhodes and Davis indicated an effort is being put forth to make all in-patient rooms private. Each room will get a minor overhaul and six rooms will be dedicated to orthopedics.
"It doesn't sound to me like anyone who is going out of business or planning on going out of the in-patient business," Rhodes said. "Those are just scare tactics."
Changing landscape
In the past, hospitals made a major chunk of their revenues from the in-patient stays. Within the last decade, that has changed.
"The model is going to be mostly about outpatient, recognizing there's time you have to have the inpatient admissions," Davis said.
Currently, administrators say the hospital has an average census of 25 patients per day. That is a decrease of more than 50 percent from recent years when the hospital always had an annual surplus for operations. In that era, 65 beds were available for patients.
"Inpatient hospitals that are brick and mortar boxes like this have a very short shelf life because, quite honestly, the old scenario was about 70 percent of the revenues were inpatient, 30 percent were outpatient," Davis said.
In the meantime, the more than $6 million loaned to TLC Health Network in Irving in the last year did not come from Brooks' operating expenditures. It came from the hospital's savings account, which continues to dwindle.
Rhodes did not speak long about prospects if finances do not get better at the facility. "We're looking at bankruptcy in the future if we don't get it to turn around," he said.
OBSERVER city editor Gib Snyder contributed to this report. Comments on this story can be sent to email@example.com

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
Comprehensive Description
Primnoa resedaeformis is a deep-sea gorgonian octocoral (a "seafan") reported from North Atlantic, Arctic, and North Pacific waters at depths of 65 to 3200 meters. However, according to Cairns and Bayer (2005), specimens from outside the eastern and western Atlantic apparently do not actually belong to this species. According to their review of the genus Primnoa (which includes technical descriptions and a key to the species), P. resedaeformis is known from the North Atlantic from Virginia Beach to Greenland (91– 548 meters) and from the Eastern Atlantic from Greenland to Scotland (95–1,020 meters). Primnoa resedaeformis has been known for hundreds of years, having been poorly described but remarkably well illustrated as early as 1605 by Clusius (the pioneering Flemish naturalist--in particular, botanist--and horticulturist), and described under at least four different names. This bright pink (in life) coral is one of the most often reported deep-water octocorals, probably because it is found in relatively shallow-water fishing beds and occurs off northern Europe, an active region for early taxonomic descriptions of all kinds. (Cairns and Bayer 2005)
In a study in the Northeast Channel off Nova Scotia, Watanabe et al. (2009) found that P. resedaeformis abundance was greater at sites between 500 and 1000 meters than at shallower depths, peaking between 500 and 650 meters, then declining with greater depth. Abundance was moderately correlated with cover of hard substratum (cobble, boulder, bedrock). Maximum colony height was 125 cm, with much smaller colony heights recorded for depths less than 500 meters.
Primnoa resedaeformis has an arborescent skeleton composed of calcite and gorgonin. Toward the inside of the axial skeleton, gorgonin (a tough, horny protein derived from surface particulate organic matter [POM]) and calcite are deposited in concentric, annually formed growth rings, similar to tree rings. Comparison with ages assesed by radioisotype analysis found that precision of ring counts had an error of less than ± 2 years. (Sherwood et al. 2005a,b) The lifespan of these corals may exceed several hundred years, although in a study by Mortensen and Buhl-Mortensen (2005), the maximum estimated age (based on analysis of annual growth rings) was 61 years. (Risk et al. 2002; Sherwood et al. 2005a and references therein)
Heikoop et al. (2002) investigated the use of P. resedaeformis corals as a source of climate records. They found that the influence of nutrient isotopic composition and climate and productivity variations on the isotopic composition of surface POM may be recorded in gorgonin layers. Given the long lifespans of these corals, the potential exists to obtain extended records of surface productivity, deep ocean temperature, and chemistry that would be of great value to climatologists and fisheries managers. Sherwood et al. (2005a,b) also concluded that useful environmental data are recorded in the organic endoskeletons of deep-sea octocorals. Isotopic signatures from the time of formation are preserved over a time scale of millenia, making these corals excellent candidates for retrospective studies of the surface marine environment. Sherwood et al. suggest that P. resedaeformis could serve as a long-term, high resolution monitor of ocean surface conditions, particularly in temperate and boreal environments where proxy data are lacking.

Intro/Thank You.
Well let me start by saying, I've been a huge hughes fan for a few years now, and i've sometimes lurked in the shadows on these forums while sitting at work, but not until now have i ever felt i had something to contribute.
I'm a US Marine, and i've been serving since before i graduated high school in 2005. My first Duty station was camp Pendleton CA, where I stayed from 2005-2007. From there I had a place in Temecula, where i occasionally trained with Cory Cass.
In October of 2007 I got sent to Okinawa Japan, and little did i know, that place would turn my life upside down...
I kept myself in pretty good shape, but kind of fell out of the loop on MMA and the like, because i didnt have a TV, and because i didnt have anyone to roll with. About a year passed, and then i met some friends who liked to Grappel and liked to wrestle. We started up an all Marine after work grappeling tournement every thursday after working hours, and it grew. Eventually cardboard title belts were handed out, and me and my friend Jake were the only two that passed it off from week to week. Eventually i wound up with cracked ribs and fell out of that.
Jake, later found a place out in town where the local Japanese comepeted and would let the Americans come out and try their skill. I never really got to deep into a 'formal' training, other then looking on technique websites, and growing up getting beat up by my brother and sister. Long story short, my first fight i wound up getting clocked in the mouth by a stray shot and was out. I was awake before i hit the ground, so it was more of a knock down then a knock out, and the reff still called it... whatever.
But that set a fire under me, and all i did was train train train... until i started having severe pain in my groin area and lower back. I went to the docs on November 27 and went into surgery where they... well, ill be blunt... they took my right nut. From there i was put on bed rest and told to come back on Dec 31st for the pathology report.
New years eve day rolls around and i went to see my doctor.. i had high spirits and was already talking to the stadium about my rematch...
I sat down, not as sore as i had been, and my doctor comes in stone faced and without expression... "You have embroynal carinoma stage two, with growths in your abdomen. We need to cut you open and take all your lymphnodes asap"
Wow. I had never been hit that hard in my life.
The surgery had some gnarly side effects, and the like which i had wanted nothing to do with, and i hesitantly asked for a second opinon. Less then two weeks, on January 12th (my 22nd Birthday) i was on a plane, from Japan to San Diego to have a meeting with the Oncology department and discuss chemo on Jan 13 (my Fathers birthday)
Jan 14 i started chemo 5 days a week, and i was originally slotted for 4 cycles of 3 weeks each, but on March 5th 2009 I had been told i was done with chemo after 2 cycles. I beat it early. I still have follow ups every month to ensure that it doesnt come back. [im trying not to make this TOO long and waste peoples time, so if your interested the full cancer blog is at www.caringbridge.com/visit/kevineri ]
Well that brings us to now... The whole chemo thing hurt the most because after almost 6 months of training non stop and beating myself silly, and being in the best shape of my life, just for it all to be thrown out the window by medical problems completely beyond my control.. My mom had sent me an Autographed copy of Made in America and used to pray with me daily on the phone, and i still think of those, and Matt's always positive attitude as an inspiration...
Joe Duarte visited my base here in san diego a couple days ago, and well, my first time on a matt since cancer, and i was grappeling Joe Duarte. I jumped him into my closed guard and had his right arm... but in the end he got me with a rear naked choke. The local news had heard a Cancer Patient was in the ring with a Pro and came running... I may have lost, but the pictures, videos, and news story, have made the fire bigger, and i'm set on finding a gym and partners, and ill be back full swing and better then before in no time!
Plus since they took a part of me, i have gotten a sick new ring name... The Wrekking Ball!
But i guess all i wanted to accomplish by this massive rambel was to say thank you. To not just Matt, but to the Hughes family as a whole. Because reading his story and seeing his success, proved and showed me theres a light at the end of the tunnel....
...And for the record too, i couldnt have done it without my wife! Even though she was in Japan during chemo, and my family was in florida, I dont feel i did it alone, but thats another story yet again...
Thank you again, Matt, if you ever see these!
And my last thought... if Lance Armstrong is HUGE for beating cancer and riding a bike.... just you wait till im back competing... watch out world!
Thanks again..
SMEPER FI Kev!! Glad you are here and hope to see you posting some!! Keep us in the loop on your training and future fights!!!
Welcome Kev! And don't worry, most of us don't really have much to contribute anyway
Yep yep. Will do. Well, all i've done thus far is try to cut all the extra weight from chemo. I'm about 180 right now, and before chemo i was like 175-180, but i was a lot more solid. During chemo i went up to like 215 because of all the waterweight.
Yesterday me and the wife went to the beach, so i could fill 2 seabags up to hang as punching bags... im to cheap to pay for a heavy bag..
but i never guessed one regular seabag filled would weigh like over 400 lbs.... grrr... so i had to make due and take 2 1/2 filled ones, and condense them into one...
A heavy bag cost a couple hundred bucks... i made mine for 6 bucks for the bag, and 25 for enough chains to hang two! AND canvas wont chip, crack and tear like leather! plus mines wrapped in duct tape too.
I got some pics of me and joe, ill post em when i figure this forum thing out.
Not to insult anyones intelligence... in lamiens terms, thats testicular cancer (germ cell cancer) i forgot to give that detail... and stage one means just a growth downstairs, 2 is its spreading to your abdomen, and 3 means tumors have made it to your organs. Just FYI!
But, cancer dont got noffin on me!
Its always nice to see a lurker step out into the light, by the sounds of it you have more to contribute then most! You must keep us informed with your progress. I speak online occasionally to Joe Duarte also btw
Amor Et Fides
Welcome, man
Great to have you here. you story is very inspiring and I wish you the best. Sounds like you're a real warrior.
We have a good time on here so stick around!

(edit: sorry, the link didnt go through the first time..... and for the record, i weaseled out of the choke he had me in where he used my own arm... and the arm at the end covered in ink... is mine. lol)

Intel's Ambitions Are Absolutely Absurd
Earlier Wednesday, in Why Won't Intel Just Tell the World It Doesn't Suck? , I took the bigger picture view.
Here's a company that cloaks itself in secrecy, allowing the media to run with leaks.
First, Intel was all set to unveil its cable television-disrupting set-top box at next week's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Then, before we could properly scoff at this old rumor becoming a living, breathing idea, we hear that Intel has hit a snag. It seems the old-guard media content providers aren't cooperating. Shocker!.
The way Intel handles itself from a public/investor/media relations standpoint stinks. I get into why in the above-linked article. It's not about whether they give me a scoop or even salient information. It's about the larger, more important issue of how investors consume information about companies, particularly underperforming ones like Intel.
During times of uncertainty and transition, Intel should be opening the lines of communication with investors and the media, not closing them. When a hack like me says that Intel needs to hire a CEO who doesn't know anything about silicon , don't get all defensive. Go public and say that's just what we did with Intel Media, and we're thinking along similar, though maybe not the exact same lines for the larger company.
But this is not surprising. The way Intel handles itself is borne out of an arrogance hardly trademarked by Intel. It's the fortress, you'll get what we give you, pesky little shareholder, when we want to give it to you and you'll like it mentality that too many companies, big and small, exhibit. Apple (AAPL) , under Steve Jobs, stands as one of the few that has license to treat stockholders with such disregard.
It's this same arrogance, however, that makes Intel think it has a chance to do anything but fail or produce minuscule impacts in the living room.
Reed Hastings at Netflix (NFLX) must be laughing his Qwikster off at Intel. And when Hastings laughs at you, you know things are really bad. I'm sure that a considerably more credible media leader -- Jeff Bewkes at Time Warner (TWX) -- is laughing even harder.
While I appreciate that Intel realizes it has to completely transform itself -- and hire service- and content-oriented, hip and edgy media people -- I can't get over the fact it not only thinks it can succeed in the living room, but it can beat Apple, let alone frontrunners such as Microsoft (MSFT) .
For Intel to achieve anything even resembling significance in television it will need to buy at least one cable or satellite operator and more than one major content company. Maybe it will, but even that generates no guarantees.

In a recent report, it was discovered that diabetes in pets is growing faster than it is in humans. Professionals in veterinary medicine field conducted a study, which discusses the rise of diseases in animals, analyzed data from animal hospitals in more than 43 states, according to the Miami Herald.
The study, which is called 2011 State of Pet Health, observed nearly three million dogs and cats. Their findings concluded that diabetes in dogs has risen by nearly 30 percent in the past four years. In addition, cats being diagnosed with the disease has risen by 16 percent in the same time span. People, on the other hand, have seen a 10 percent increase since 2006 in diabetes diagnosis, according to the newspaper.
However, it is possible for the animal to lead a healthy life as diabetics as long as they get treatment.
"Millions of pets are getting insulin twice a day," said veterinarian Dr. Jeffrey Klauser to the news source. "Dogs can be diabetic for years and do just fine."
According to the ASPCA, there are certain signs to look for to see if a cat or dog is diabetic, which include a change in appetite, excessive thirst, increased urination, lethargy, and unkempt hair coat.

Topic: Points for users and redemption
Forgive the "newbness" of this post.
I'm building a project where users earn points for certain actions they do on the website (with variable point amounts depending on the action).
I need users to be able redeem these points for "rewards" probably prizes arranged in an eCommerce style part of the site.
The extra hard part is that I need these points to be "transferrable" too. The users will be able to enter into "bets" with each other (not gambling, but that's what it seems like). At the end of a given time period whoever won the "bet" should get a certain amount of the other user's points.
This seems pretty complicated to me and I have no clue where to even begin. Any suggestions?

Top Trail Runners Speak Out About PEDs
Joe Gray, Sage Canaday and others support more aggressive drug-testing programs for trail races
Image by BigStockPhoto
The day before the 2012 World Mountain Running Championships, Joe Gray, elite Club Northwest road, cross-country and mountain runner, was exhausted. He went for a run and then lay down in bed to get some sleep before the big race. There was a knock. Fellow runner Rich Bolt stood at the door and let Gray know he'd been selected for a random drug test.
In 2010, Ellie Greenwood had just finished first in the International Association of Ultrarunners World 100K Championships in Gibraltar. At the finish line, authorities whisked her away, back to the cruise ship she'd arrived on. While they searched for the right cabin, Greenwood hobbled along behind them, clinging to the banisters to hoist her aching body up a few flights of stairs. Finally they stopped at the right room. There, under same-sex supervision, she'd have to pee in a cup.
Since then, Greenwood has had to register her location quarterly online as per the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency so they can show up at her house at 6:30 a.m. to make sure she isn't doping.
Sage Canaday, elite trail runner and two-time Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier, has never had this experience, but as an athlete who's been accused of doping, he says he'd be honored to pee in a cup to prove his innocence.
Sports news is inundated with stories of athletes using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). Cyclist Lance Armstrong used them. Baseball player Alex "A-Rod" Rodriguez used them. Track and field sprinter Tyson Gay used them. But, for the most part, the trail-running community hasn't been under the laser-beam of PED scrutiny—but, this may be changing.

National Implementation Capacities and Use of Country Systems
In addition to the capacity development work UNDP undertakes around specific thematic areas like poverty reduction, environment and energy, democratic governance and crisis prevention and recovery, UNDP also works with national partners to enhance their ability to effectively implement change and deliver expected development results. The support offered by this programme, known as 'National Implementation Capacities', looks at how to manage a programme or project, coordinate aid and resources, manage finances and procure goods and services, for example.
To support and strengthen the National Implementation Capacities programme, UNDP, in partnership with the Danish International Development Agency DANIDA, launched a UN Procurement Capacity Development Centre (PCDC) in January 2008. The PCDC focuses on procurement but also addresses other implementation capacities. For further information please refer to www.unpcdc.org .
How We Work
Moving Towards Use of Country Systems
The Danish Embassy in Bangladesh has initiated a gradual process to align Danish support with the national institutions and systems including for procurement. To support this alignment process, they undertook a capacity assessment in early 2009, in collaboration with UNDP. The result was an alignment plan, which included risk mitigation strategies that allow the national procurement system to be used until it is sufficiently strong to be fully and unconditionally relied on. The capacity development responses include such issues as ensuring that the incentives for programme staff to align with country systems are set on a par with other planned development outcomes.
Strengthening Human Resource Management in the Occupied Palestinian Territories
The state building agenda in the Occupied Palestinian Territories will depend on strengthening human resource management (HRM) in the Palestinian National Authority. Working with the General Personnel Council in Ramallah, UNDP identified the current HRM capacities for the public sector and priority areas where some 'quick wins' could be addressed. This helped improve the effectiveness of HRM in the Palestinian National Authority by increasing the awareness of the legal framework, starting to standardize job descriptions and making electronic records more easily available.
Capturing & Disseminating Procurement Knowledge
UNDP has developed a unique website, solely dedicated to providing the global public procurement community with up-to-date procurement related news, events and resources, such as toolkits, methodologies, guides, articles, links and much more. The website is an important knowledge-sharing platform and strongly underpins South-South cooperation. It continues to grow and gain recognition by UNDP listening to its audience, and then responding by developing new, relevant features, such as the online discussion forum which is currently underway.

Birthday Recap - Pics and Makeup Looks!
Thank you to everyone for sending me birthday wishes last week. It made me feel so special! Last Wednesday was my birthday and it was a few days of celebration. Of course with this being a beauty blog, I had to share my makeup looks along the way.
Wednesday, June 24th was my actual birthday. The boyfriend and I did a quick gym workout and headed to Chilis so I could get some healthy food off of their Guiltless Grill menu. Trying to be good! We then met up with the crew and saw a 10:00pm showing of Transformers. Wow that movie felt long. It was okay, the last 20 minutes were the best. That night I wore an aque look inspired by Makeup By Tiffany D's last Summer Makeup tutorial. I did a quickie version since I only had about 5 minutes to do my makeup.
That day I also had a chance to open up some presents from the boyfriend. He awoke me with flowers and wrapped presents on our coffee table. However, when I wake up from work I'm in and out with only a few minutes to spare. I opened them when I got home. Please ignore me looking crazy...I was trying out different eyeshadow colors on each eye, lol.
Here I am blowing out the candles on my tiny ice cream cake. I told my BF how growing up my mom used to always get me Carvel Ice Cream cakes, my fav! He got a mini version so that we could still celebrate with just a little piece while being on a diet. If he had gotten a regular size cake we would have been in trouble!
Yay! My immediate reaction at the gifts :) By the way, I'm rocking a dress I bought in the Philippines.
He also got me a rose for every birthday we've celebrated together. Red for love and a pink in the middle for love and friendship. I wanted my boyfriend to keep gifts more low key this year because we've spent too much on each other in the past.
I finally got a GPS! If you know me, I'm the worst with directions...like seriously the worst out of anyone I know, lol.
Yay the Twilight book series! I know I'm a bit behind on this trend but about two weeks ago I NetFlixed Twilight and after watching it I fell in love! I already read two entire books in 3 days...and that was me trying to read slow! It's really addictive...I just love the romance :)
Thursday night my friends took me to a birthday dinner at a surprise location. I was so happy because they took me to a swanky South African Spot! I've been looking around Atlanta to find some tasty African cuisine but the closest I could ever find was Ethiopian. It was super nice inside with a live band and everything. If you're in Atlanta, it's called 10 Degrees South. I ordered a yummy Chicken Curry dish...everyone loved their food.
My friends got a card made just for me! They had the card maker sketch a picture of me using one of my pics on my blog...I think she used my Rihanna Makeup tutorial! Inside they had the card written comparing our friendship to the blending of makeup...it was so cute and thoughtful.
This year they surprised me. Instead of cake, they had cupcakes! Again, better for my diet so we don't go overboard...at least I thought lol. Each cake had different fillings from fudge, to custard, to vanilla...it was so yummy!
We tore those bad boys up!
Here's a look I wore for the night. I used the Double Stack Palettes to create this bright blue look along with my Eve Pearl liquid liner and Red Cherry lashes.
Besides that I'm wearing Mineralized Satinfinish foundation in NC42. I've fallen in love with this foundation all over again...it gives such a nice, dewy glow. I'm also wearing MAC refined golden bronzer on my cheeks and Bare Bronze lipstick with Liberated Lipgloss. These are quickly becoming staples in my summer makeup collection.
Friday night was my best friend's fiance's bday. We went midtown to celebrate. First we ate Tapas and then headed to a Wet Willies style bar. LOL, I didn't take pictures of that night because it was not cute. We ended up leaving early because the birthday boy had a little too much that night. Ah well, it was still fun lol. Too bad I have to get my car cleaned now if you catch my drift, lol.
Saturday was just for me and the boyfriend. Again, I wanted to keep it really low key. We're going to Savannah this weekend so no need to go crazy with it. We ended up going to the Discover Mills Outlet mall a half hour away.
We splurged on the diet and had Johnny Rockets :) Here we are sharing a root beer float. We also were extremely corny and took pictures in a photo booth. While at the mall I stopped by the CCO and actually didn't get anything. Instead I ended up getting a cute flower claw clip and two nail polishes for all of $7...see I'm a cheap date! We picked up a new pair of jeans for the boyfriend...I'm trying to get him to transition into more fitted styles. I also bought 8 pairs of shoes from the Nine West Outlet...nope, not all for me. They're for myself and the rest of the bridesmaids for my best friend's wedding in October. Can't Wait!
Of course, a shot of makeup. I went really simple with this one. I'm just wearing black eyeliner smudged with a dark blue shadow from the Double Stack Palette. I'm also rocking Stila lipglaze in vanilla and Blonde MSF on my cheeks.
That's all for now folks! Thanks for reading and celebrating with me :)

I'm trying to make my boyfriend wear more fitted clothes as well! He thinks baggy is cool, but I think it's kind of out of style right now. Haha.

it's great to have such great friends that give you meaningful gifts from the heart. that card was so sweet. and it looks like both the bf and the friends thought hard about how to make your day special and non-traditional. love it!
your makeup looked awesome for both events =)

You look absolutely stunning in that last pic..I love that look on you, and I'm so buying the double stack to try to recreate your first look.
My bf's job is moving him to either ATL or Chicago, if it's ATL I'm hitting u up for a make up lesson lol.
