Watch: Steven Spielberg and Friends Bash the Academy Award Nominations, Circa 1975
Note: In honor of the Academy Awards this Sunday, we're reposting some of our favorite Oscar-related posts from years past. The following was first published on 2/28/12.
The Steven Spielberg we know today is almost so iconic and legendary we're surprised the clouds don't part for a heavenly light to shine on him wherever his travels should take him. But the Spielberg back in 1975 was a young up-and-comer who was starting to become something bigger. He had just directed Jaws, and watched the film take in a crazy amount of money at the box office, grossing close to $500 million worldwide in total. Steven Spielberg had officially arrived. When it came time for Oscar nominations, Spielberg was riding a wave so high he was probably convinced the film would earn him a nomination for Best Director.
It didn't. And thankfully for us, video of the moment Spielberg found out he wasn't nominated for best director exists online. In fact, the video shows us Spielberg's reaction to most of the nominations, including the part where Jaws is nominated for Best Picture. What makes it so great is being able to watch a rare slice of history in which a master of his craft actually fails at something. He fails at getting that directing nod, and you can tell in his face that he wanted it. He wanted it bad. This was a hungry Spielberg; a Spielberg that was on the cusp of ruling the big screen for the next few decades.
After the best picture nod was announced, the mood still didn't brighten in Spielberg's office. During the nominations he was joined by friends (and character actors) Joe Spinell and Frank Pesce. These were the same actors who were originally supposed to play the two guys fishing for the shark at the dock in the film, though Pesce's schedule didn't allow him to do it. The duo make for some entertaining moments once the nominations have concluded; working to get Spielberg all riled up as the director rails on the fact that because his film was a box office success, he believes there was a backlash that fueled his being left off the list of director's nominated.
Check out two videos below. One is the entire clip of Spielberg and his buddies, while the other is from the documentary The Joe Spinell Story, which also touches on this moment.

Baptists must reclaim church discipline and membership, scholars say
Southern Baptist scholars gathered at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to assess and discuss the core doctrines of church discipline, baptism and the Lord's Supper during the second conference in the seminary's Baptist Distinctives Series, Sept 29-30. The conference was titled "Maintaining the Integrity of a Local Church in a Seeker Sensitive World: The Baptist Perspective on Baptism, the Lord's Supper, and Church Discipline."
In his presentation of "The Historical Development and Loss of Church Discipline in Baptist Churches," presenter Gregory Wills said the degree to which churches implement church discipline is a predictor of whether the church is safe from disaster.
"[Church discipline] is the canary in a coal mine," said Wills, who is professor of church history and director of the Center for the Study of the Southern Baptist Convention at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. "When the canary in a coal mine keels over, catastrophe impends. When church discipline is lost, catastrophe impends."
According to Wills, church discipline among Baptists began to decline in the late-19th century and early-20th century. He attributed the decline to the rise of pragmatism, individualism and secularization in the culture at large. This decline in discipline also permitted liberalism to make crucial inroads into many Baptist churches, he said.
Lax discipline was a new development among Baptists. Earlier Baptist churches had a strong commitment to church discipline in earlier centuries, Wills said.
Baptist churches stood for proper discipline "because they feared God more than men; because Christ commanded it," Wills said. "They had no more freedom to neglect church discipline than they had to neglect baptism, communion or preaching faith in the name of Christ. They believed that Christ commanded a specific church order, and they pressed themselves to carry it out no matter how impractical or ineffective it might appear."
Wills said early Baptists were confident that God would bless the faithful practice of church discipline.
"Church discipline was a gospel remedy for sin and temptation. It was an essential part of the means that God gave for sanctifying believers," Wills said.
Another presenter was Mark Dever, the pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. Dever said that churches could not effectively reinstitute biblical church discipline until the meaning of church membership is renewed.
The Cambridge-educated Dever has written and spoken extensively on the subject of church polity. Developing a plan for church discipline was the 11th step of a 12-step plan Dever proposed for a renewed commitment to local church membership. A system for church discipline came after other steps such as consistently proclaiming and applying the gospel message, writing a church confession, and instituting a membership class.
"We should realize that our immediate assurance to someone else of their salvation based merely upon their verbal profession of faith in Christ may not be the most loving thing we can do," Dever said. "Joining the church is joining an assurance of salvation cooperative. We are to observe evidences of God's grace in each other's lives and to encourage one another by them. And we are supposed to correct one another when occasion requires."
Dever said that a thoughtfully implemented approach to church membership should foster evangelism, love among Christians and submission to God and church leaders. Meaningful church membership helps Christians display the character of God, he said.
Daniel Akin, president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, N.C., discussed the meaning of believer's baptism, and preached in chapel. Several Southwestern Seminary professors presented papers at the conference. David Allen, dean of the school of theology and professor of expository preaching, outlined the biblical basis for the traditional Baptist mode of baptism by immersion.
Stanton Norman is associate professor of theology and chair of the Cooperative Program of Southern Baptist Studies at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Norman discussed biblical standards for the reestablishment of church discipline. John Hammett, professor of systematic theology at Southeastern Seminary, submitted a paper titled, "Regenerate Church Membership."
Jason Lee, Southwestern Seminary associate professor of historical theology, demonstrated that baptism is a believer's covenant with the local church. Dean of The College at Southwestern Emir Caner and Interim Vice President of Student Services Thomas White examined the nature of the Lord's Supper. Malcolm Yarnell, director of the seminary's Center for Theological Research and of one of the conference's organizers, presented a paper on the priesthood of all believers.
The scholarly papers presented at the conference are being bound together and printed into a single paperback volume that will be available at reasonable cost to anyone interested in the subject matter.

The groundhog said it would be an early spring this year, and many of us have already begun to see the sun through the clouds these last few days. That means it's time for spring cleaning to commence, and cleaning up your indoor air should definitely be a part of your spring cleaning routine. The pollen is on it's way, but you can help prevent allergies before they start with a good air purifier.
So we've chosen several Filtrete room purifiers as this week's featured products.
The 3M Filtrete Ultra Clean air purifier comes in two sizes to accommodate large or small rooms, and filters 99.9 percent of particles, including mold spores, dust mite debris, household dust, pet dander, odor carrying particles, virus carrying particles, smoke, smog, and, of course – pollen. This air purifier also features a filter change indicator light, reminding you when it's time to change the filter. Its sleek contemporary design and quiet operation is likely to compliment any room in your house, without disturbing the peace.
The 3M Filtrete Ultra Quiet (FAP00-RS) air purifier is not only ultra quiet, as the name implies; it's also 96 percent effective at capturing airborne particles smaller than 0.2 microns. Try the Filtrete FAP01-RS model for even more advanced purification. These air purifiers bear the government-backed Energy Star symbol; they are 44 percent more efficient than standard air cleaners and will reduce your energy bill, along with greenhouse gas emissions.
For a limited time, you can save $10 on any one of these indoor air purifiers with a Filtrete mail-in rebate.
But it doesn't stop there. Filtrete is also offering a $6 mail in rebate on all of its filters that have an MPR rating of 1000 or higher. (This rating, similar to MERV, determines how efficient the filter will be at capturing small particles.) This includes the Filtrete Micro Allergen (Filtrete Red) Air Filter, the Filtrete Ultimate Allergen (Filtrete Deep Blue) Filter, the Filtrete Ultra Allergen (Filtrete Purple) Filter and the Filtrete Elite Allergen (Filtrete Black) Filter.

Reader Michael P was there the night a relatively unknown Dwyane Wade of Marquette University went off on Kentucky in the 2003 NCAA Tournament. Here's his recap.
I was there for Dwyane Wade's first step into the stardom he enjoys today. Marquette was set to be royally stomped by Kentucky. I remember everyone at the Metrodome was more interested in the Wisconsin game going on the same weekend. I had a stronger interest in the Marquette game than most, not because I was some soothsayer who was fully aware of the future greatness I would see in Wade. I went to high school with this guy (son of Jerry Sichting) and thought it was novel I was watching him sit on the bench.
The rest is history. Wade goes for 29-11-11, and Marquette downs the UK monster 83-69. Oh and my old schoolmate ends the game with the ball in his hands. In my top 3 sports memories of all time.
Here's an old SI recap of the game.

| 5.9°C Belfast
Tributes have been paid to a seven-year-old boy who died after falling ill in his flood-hit home.
Police are investigating whether flooding was a factor in the death of the boy, named locally as Zane Gbangbola.
Officers have refused to be drawn on whether carbon monoxide poisoning from a generator pumping out flood water from his home may have been to blame.
Zane's parents, Kye Gbangbola and Nicole Lawler, were also taken ill at the family home in Thameside in Chertsey, Surrey, just before 3.30am yesterday.
Two police officers and 13 nearby residents were released after being treated in hospital as a precaution.
As Zane's parents remained in a serious but not life-threatening condition at St Peter's Hospital, tributes were paid to the schoolboy.
Anoop Hothi, 31, taught Zane martial arts at the Sport Martial Arts Academy in Egham, which he joined aged five.
After a year, Zane became a member of the leadership team helping teach others new to the club, and last month he was promoted to green stripe belt.
Mr Hothi, also a neighbour of Zane's family, said: "Little Zane was an absolute joy to teach, and it's children like him who make teaching so much more rewarding.
"I'm sure his school teachers would say the same thing. He was a lovely boy, and he came from good, caring parents.
"It's not the parents who are to blame for this. They were loving and caring people - it's the overall system that's to blame for his death.
"Zane had his whole life ahead of him. It's heart-breaking for his parents. I found out yesterday morning and I didn't want to believe it."
He added: "It was only a few months ago that my little brother was playing with Zane, and now he is in tears."
Mr Hothi criticised various agencies for their response to the floods in the area as he praised Zane's parents as the nicest neighbours he had ever had.
He said he saw some pipes coming out from the front of Zane's parents' property throwing out water, but he did not know whether a generator was being used.
Zane's mother is a member of the All Party Parliamentary Climate Change Group and his father is the founder of a sustainability consultancy.
A message on the Facebook page of Sport Martial Arts Academy announced Zane's death to members.
Part of it said: "Many of you will know him and his parents and many of the children would have trained with him over the last two years that he has been with us.
"Starting off in Little Samurais aged five, he was always enthusiastic and energetic about his training, showing the same passion for martial arts that his father has.
"After a year he was a member of our leadership team helping and teaching others new to the club. Just last month he was promoted to green stripe belt."
Chief Superintendent Dave Miller, of Surrey Police, said that the cause of Zane's death was still unknown.
It may take days for a cause of death to be established and it would be "inappropriate" to speculate on what it might be, he added.
There did not appear to be a wider risk to the public, with the illness limited to one family, Mr Miller went on.
Mr Miller said: "The investigation into yesterday's tragic death of the seven-year-old boy is ongoing and the cause of death is still unknown.
"We are continuing to work with partner agencies and officers are following various lines of enquiry.
"There have been no further casualties reported. This, coupled with expert advice, leads us to believe at this stage that this is an isolated incident localised to one family.
"Surrey Police will release an update when a cause of death has been determined, however this may take several days. In the meantime it would be inappropriate to speculate.
"Our thoughts continue to be very much with the boy's parents, who still remain in hospital, and we are continuing to support them during what is understandably a very difficult time."
Public Health England also said they do not believe there is a wider health risk to the public after nearby residents were evacuated and advised to go to hospital as a precaution.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Health agency, which is tasked with improving the nation's health, said it was helping police with their investigation.
"It is too early to speculate on the cause of death and Public Health England is working with the other agencies to assist this investigation and ensure appropriate action is taken to protect public health.
"Currently, there are no indications that there is a wider public health risk."
A South East Coast Ambulance spokeswoman said Zane was found to be in a "very serious condition" when crews arrived.
She said it was unclear what caused the illness and could not be drawn on the suggestions that carbon monoxide poisoning was to blame.
One local said he saw a yellow hose hanging from the ground-floor front window of the property where the family were taken ill.
IT worker David North, 45, who works in Chertsey, said: "I was taking photographs of the flooding in the local area. As I turned up, there was a higher-than-normal police presence.
"Officers were blocking direct access to some of the roads and they were being quite forceful about where you could and couldn't go.
"I saw a yellow hose coming from the front window on the ground floor. Whether it was pumping out water or something else, I don't know.
"My understanding is that this incident was found out while evacuations were being carried out due to the flooding."
A police scene guard remained at the location and road closures to Thameside were in place as the investigation continued.

JoshB brauchte ein neues Bannerwerbung Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 28 Designs von 6 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We are a small company looking for a big splash in the transportation industry. To accomplish this, we are looking for an attention grabbing banner for upcoming trade shows. The banner should awe and impress while not appearing gimmicky or too flashy. Can you help?
We are looking for an eye catching yet professional banner. This will be a floor-standing banner that will be displayed at trade shows. The target audience will be potential customers passing by so it needs to be professional yet also grab people's attention. There is a lot of freedom with this banner and the main goal is to have our logo on the design. Besides that, we are open to seeing many different ideas but items that relate to our industry (transportation, specifically buses) will be preferred.
About us: We provide transportation solutions for transit agencies across the country. Specifically, we provide GPS tracking of buses, shuttles, or any other vehicle, in addition to passenger counting and a whole list of other features. Our main customers are the transit operators that need to track their buses but we also provide solutions to the general public. People can go to our public websites and see when their bus will arrive at a particular stop or see how many people are actually on that bus in real-time.
- Banner size: 32.5" wide x 80" tall
- Logo: The logo should be prominently displayed on the banner
- Color: Feel free to get creative with the colors in the banner; however, the logo colors should not change.
- Eye catching graphics / designs that look professional.
- Edges: 2-3" of each edge could be cutoff while printing and finalizing the banner; therefore text and image placement should take this into account.
- Image resolution: The final image should be at least 200ppi at full size.
- Some graphic ideas (just suggestions, not must haves): buses, bus stops, bus stop signs with our logo on them, small maps, people at bus stops, graphic displays (vector art, abstract art, etc.), motion / blurring effects
- Here is an example of a graphic I really like:
- http://www.syncromatics.com/files/s…raphic.jpg
- Note: For the winning submission, we will purchase any high resolution stock photos required for this banner.
- An entire banner of only a map. GPS and mapping solutions are only a part of our product offerings. The final banner can include a map but it should not be the main focus of the image.
- Clutter: There is a lot of room on the banner but it does not need a million tiny images.

Looks like the forums were hacked and took us offline last days. We have cleaned up the site and hope this is resolved, installed some patches from the software vendor. Apparently the attack on the forum software hit over 35,000+ websites, but there was not threat to the end user, just to the forum software.
Apologies for the downtime, we will be monitoring to ensure stability in the coming weeks.

It's winter! It may not feel like it in Florida, but the season still exists nonetheless. I have a slight fascination with winter weather, probably because I've never had to live in it. I can picture a beautiful wedding day in a winter scene… maybe not DURING a blizzard, but the day after one when the skies are blue and everything is covered in white. Does that kind of day exist? Here's a collection of images I found via Pinterest that just remind me of a winter wedding.

The Buffalo Sabres' $123 million plan for two hockey rinks, a hotel, restaurant and parking deck on the waterfront is now in the hands of the Common Council, which is expected to vote in two weeks to approve the project, making way for a March groundbreaking.
As part of an agreement sent to the Council on Tuesday, the Sabres' development company has agreed to pay the city nearly $200,000 more for a prime piece of downtown land than a maximum amount set by the parties last year.
HARBORCenter LLC will pay $2.2 million for the Webster Block, or the full appraisal amount.
The land the company will acquire is slightly larger than the 1.7-acre parcel originally discussed, which increased the appraised value.
"This project will continue the development boom downtown on Buffalo's waterfront," said Mayor Byron W. Brown. "This will be a significant draw for other investment. I believe this is the kind of transformational project that comes along maybe once in a lifetime."
The Sabres, led by owner Terry Pegula, proposed a two-rink facility with a 200-room hotel and a parking deck, restaurants and retail space during a bidding competition last summer against Ellicott Development.
Since Brown selected the ice rink complex in August, the Sabres and the city have negotiated the sale of the city-owned parcel, which is known to Sabres fans and waterfront visitors as a surface parking lot just north of the First Niagara Center.
"This is the next step in the process," said Michael M. Gilbert, vice president of public and community relations with the Sabres. "There are several steps in the coming weeks we need to go through ... so we can start construction in early March."
Brown said he was "very pleased" with the agreement. He noted that it sets hiring goals for minorities and women, that local labor will be used during construction and that employees would be paid a living wage.
The agreement will be used as a template for others the city does on major developments, he said.
The agreement calls for the development to create 1,498 direct and indirect construction jobs.
Reasonable efforts also will be made to ensure that at least 15 percent of the ice time is reserved for the public or community use, such as youth hockey, and strategies will be developed "to encourage diversity among ice rink users," according to the agreement.
The Council scheduled a public hearing on the land sale for Feb. 19, and a vote is likely that day.
"I don't anticipate any issues," said Ellicott Council Member Darius G. Pridgen. "It seems like the community is rather excited about it. The amount of private funding that's coming to this area is astronomical, so I would be hard-pressed to see someone having a problem with a project that is really going to benefit downtown Buffalo."
Council President Richard A. Fontana said he has been anxious to get the agreement before the Council for a vote and called the higher sale price "great for taxpayers."
HARBORCenter will link to the First Niagara Center with a walkway above Perry Street, making the entire complex the only three-rink facility in the National Hockey League.
"I envisioned something unique," Brown said of the plan for the Webster block. "This has met and exceeded all my expectations."
The project includes two indoor ice rinks, one with seating for 1,800 and another with seating for 150; a "premium brand" hotel; a parking deck with approximately 845 spaces; and ground-level restaurant and retail space.
The parking deck, ice rinks and restaurant and retail space are scheduled to be open by the end of September 2014, and the hotel is scheduled to be open by the end of May 2015.
The larger footprint the Sabres are acquiring will expand slightly into Scott Street but won't affect the actual street or right of way there, said Corporation Counsel Timothy A. Ball.
A final site plan for HARBORCenter will be presented to the Planning Board next Tuesday, and approval that day is possible.
In December, Populous, a nationally known architecture firm, presented preliminary plans for the development to the Planning Board.

Does anyone know of any compability issues using the .Net 1.1 framework to connect to the new MSSQL 2k5 beta? I can't seem to nail down a connection, but I can't tell if it's a malformed connection string, or a general incompatibility issue.
Anyone? Is there any difference in the connection string between MSSQL 2k and 2k5?

News Archives - 2010
Loven and Lewis come home to Minneapolis
Kyle Loven '06 has called a few places "home." He moved from the charming town of Wilmar, Minn. to Minneapolis to study theatre and art history at Augsburg. After college, he spent some time in Europe before settling in Seattle, Wash. And on March 19, Loven will return to his Twin Cities home to perform my dear Lewis, his one-man show about memories.
my dear Lewis will be part of SEEDS, presented by Open Eye Figure Theatre. SEEDS features the work of emerging artists who are supported by the Henson Foundation. Performances are Mar. 19, 20, and 22 at 7:30 p.m. and Mar. 21 at 4 p.m. Visit the Open Eye website for ticket information.
my dear Lewis
Created and Performed by Kyle Loven
Music Composed by George Maurer
Video Assistance by Andrea Steudel and Elise Langer
The show is about both personal history and our memory of history. my dear Lewis explores the various means of documentation and objects we all keep that help us preserve these memories.
Lewis is at the end of his journey. His final task is to look back over a life lived. What unfolds is a pilgrimage made by his mind and body into the dark and dusty corners of memory. By looking through his accumulation of boxes, Lewis encounters significant relationships and events that have made him who he is. Objects, video, music and puppets unexpectedly combine in this one-man show.
While still attending Augsburg, I interned with a remarkable theatre company, Michael Sommers and Susan Haas' Open Eye Figure Theatre. I spent two and a half additional years in Minneapolis after graduating continuing to work with Open Eye and also performing with Theatre de la Jeune Lune and The Children's Theatre Company. The majority of my time, however, was spent learning from the important work being made by Michael and Sue. Many of the skills and sensibilities I have as an artist were born and nourished with them, after the groundwork had been set by the Augsburg Theater Department.
I've had the opportunity to work with and learn from numerous accomplished and amazing artists in the past few years. While the majority of this time has focused on working on the art of other companies, I am balancing my current time between creating my own work and continuing to learn from more experienced creators.
It means a lot for me to bring my work back to Minneapolis. It means even more to be performing my work at Open Eye. my dear Lewis actually developed out of Open Eye's Toy Theatre After Dark series. To bring the piece back to its home and a home of mine is such an honor.
The production has had two runs in Seattle (Nov. 2009, Feb. 2010) and I'm thrilled to be taking it on the road. I hope to continue to bring my work back to Minneapolis and work with Minneapolis theatre companies in the future. It has and will always be a home of mine.
Inside Augsburg showcases the experiences of Augsburg College students, alumni, staff, and faculty. Send your story idea to email@example.com.

Kiefer did this
His name is Jack McCollough, one of the designers of Proenza Schouler. As you can see, he has a cut on his nose. He received the cut courtesy of Kiefer Sutherland's head.
After the Met Gala on Monday night, Kiefer was at a party talking to Brooke Shields. He claims McCollough bumped into Brooke and demanded an apology. Suddenly his head was slamming into McCollough's face.
While Sutherland's camp is insisting he was defending a friend, Brooke has actually publicly explained that she has no idea why he lost his sh-t because McCollough did not do anything "inappropriate". The two are friends, and witnesses at the party say he was simply interrupting to say hello.
It's also been reported that Kiefer was drunk at the time and edging for a fight. Big surprise. You do recall he spent time in prison last year on DUI charge, right? Great. A bad drunk is so sexy. Can't believe the Filthy Scab Pamela Anderson isn't all over him. Two Canadians we can be proud of.

ASMALLWORLD Weekend in Gstaad, Switzerland 2012 | Pictures
All the Best Shots From This Weekend's Winter Chic Fest in Switzerland
All the Best Shots From This Weekend's Winter Chic Fest in Switzerland
Arizona Muse, Carey Mulligan, Poppy Delevingne, Teresa Missoni, and Waris Ahluwalia were among those who made the trek to Switzerland this past weekend for ASMALLWORLD's third annual Winter Weekend getaway. And though it may have been frosty on the slopes outside the Gstaad Palace Hotel where the weekend's festivities took place, there was plenty on the docket to keep guests toasty.
On Friday evening, the crowd kicked off the fun with a champagne cocktail and diamond hunt. The big winner of the evening was Tali Lennox, who, clad in a two-toned leopard-print minidress, ended up winning the grand prize: a glittering pair of Bucherer diamond hoops. The next day it was off to the lifts, where Jessica Joffe and Lily Kwong showed off their best cold-weather getups (no puffy snowsuits here) while Muse frolicked with son Nikko in the snow before joining the rest of the crew for a fondue feast.
And that wasn't all. Saturday evening's black-tie charity gala hosted by Mulligan had everyone from Harley Viera-Newton to Harvey Weinstein in high spirits — especially when singer Alysha Umphress took to the stage for a surprise performance.
Highlights from the weekend, here in the slideshow.

- Leaky Gut Test
Leaky Gut Test
With the Leaky Gut Test, your stool sample is examined to determine:
1.) Candida and mold
2.) Bacterial imbalance of the intestinal flora
3.) pH-value of the stool
4.) Alpha-1-antitrypsin (inflammation)
5.) Secretory IgA (gut mucosal immunology)
Availability: deliverable immediately
Who should take the test?
The leaky gut syndrome affects in particular the small intestine, not the large one. But what does it mean when the small intestine is leaking?
The intestinal mucosa is a barrier between the intestinal contents and the blood circulation. When the barrier is intact, the intestinal mucosa allows only water and the necessary nutrients to pass into the bloodstream. In the leaky gut syndrome the intestinal mucosa becomes permeable – harmful substances pass unhindered into the bloodstream. The immune system reacts with inflammatory and allergic processes. Triggers may be an unhealthy diet, stress, infections as well as a frequent intake of antibiotics. Once recognized, the disease has good healing prospects.
The test analyzes the values of the following analytes:
- - Escherichia coli
- - Proteus
- - Citerobacter
- - Klebsiella
- - Other enterobacteriaceae
- - Enterococci
- - Pseudomonas
- - Bacteroides
- - Bifidobacteria
- - Lactobacilli
- - Clostridia
- - pH-Value
- - Candida albicans
- - Candida spec.
- - Geotrichum candidum
- - Yeast
- - Alpha-1-Antitrypsin
- - Secretory IgA
Our Leaky Gut Test gives you information about the condition of your intestinal mucosa as an impermeable gut is necessary for your general health and well-being.
How does it work?
You collect the samples at home, send them back to us and we will provide you with your level of each analyte and whether your level falls within the reference ranges for your age. In addition to that, the results include graphs showing whether your are in the "green" (=normal/healthy) or "red" (=too high/low) area, making it easy to understand the results.
What will my results tell me?
Your results will provide detailed information about whether your escherichia coli, proteus, citerobacter, klebsiella, other enterobacteriaceae, enterococci, pseudomonas, bacteroides, bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, clostridia, pH-Value, candida albicans, candida spec., geotrichum candidum, yeast, alpha-1-Antitrypsin and secretory IgA levels are normal, low, or high compared to reference ranges in your age group. You can then discuss the results with your doctor or health practitioner, who can give you further guidance and treatment recommendations.
What guidance will I get along with my results?
We always recommend the discussion of the mailed results with your doctor or practitioner. Although we do not offer therapy service ourselves, we will gladly assist you in finding a suitable therapist in your area. Besides, further information is available on our website, especially in the different test categories, under "health conditions" and the FAQs. Still have questions? Then you can contact us by phone at (703) 722 6067 (08:00am - 11:30am EST) or mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
For the Leaky Gut Test we analyse:
Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a minority member of the gut microbiome, but a very important one. E. coli bacteria normally live in the intestines of healthy people and stimulates the intestinal immune system. It aids digestion and protects us from other harmful microbes. E. coli ferments to produce folic acid, vitamin K2 (this protects against osteoporosis) and Co-enzyme Q10 (essential for mitochondrial function). If there are low counts of E-coli, one can expect problems like osteoporosis and bone problems, mitochondrial function, low mood and poor gut motility. Increased E. coli indicates putrefaction in the intestine and may burden the body with metabolic toxins. Potential causes may be reduced immunity of the intestinal mucosa, low counts of bifidobacteria or excess supply of protein.
Proteus species are most commonly found as part of normal human intestinal flora, along with Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species. Proteus is also found in multiple environmental habitats, including long-term care facilities and hospitals. As a particularly active proteolytic germ, proteus can burden the body considerably through its metabolic toxins.
Citrobacter is a rod belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family. It is considered an opportunistic pathogen and therefore can be found in the gut as part of the normal flora. Citrobacter are also commonly found in water, soil and food and may be spread by person-to person contact.
Klebsiella is a bacterium, which belongs to the Enterobacteriaceae family. Klebsiella can be found in the gastrointestinal tract of humans. Klebsiella overgrowth is commonly asymtomatic. Some strains of Klebsiella may cause diarrhea and some are enterotoxigenic. A low-starch diet may be helpful if high levels of Klebsiella are present.
Other enterobacteriaceae
Increased enterobacteriaceae indicate disturbances of the intestinal flora, malnutrition or digestive insufficiencies. A larger amount of these bacteria does not belong in the normal intestinal flora. Their multiplication often results from past antibioses.
Decreased Enterococci in the stool indicates disturbances in balance of the intestinal flora. Enterococci produce short-chain fatty acids during the carbohydrate utilisation, which contributes to the acidification and stabilisation of the intestinal environment. As an important contribution to the intestinal milieu, they produce bacteriostatic substances.
Pseudomonas can be found in water and soil as well as fruits ans vegetables. A common source of infection is bottled water, but increased Pseudonomas may also be due to an earlier antibiotic therapy.
Bacteroides is the most abundant bacteria in the microflora, which allows us to digest soluble fibre and make short chain fatty acids. Decreased bacteroides indicate a lowered resistence to pathogenic species (such as salmonella, shigella and clostridia).
Bifidobacteria make up a significant portion of the human gut flora. Along with Lactobacillia and Enterococci, Bifidobacteria control potentially pathogenic organisms and stimulate the intestinal immune system (GALT). Bifidobacteria metabolize carbohydrates only. By doing so, they produce short chain fatty acids, which adidify the intestine and couteract pathogenic organisms. Decreased Bifidobacteria indicate deficiencies in colonisation resistance, putrefaction in the intestine and can promote constipation.
Lactobacilli is a lactic acid forming bacteria, which produces large amounts of short chain fatty acids (SCFA). SCFAs lower the intestinal pH and thereby make the evironment alkaline and unsuitable for microbial pathogens (e.g. yeast).
In addition, Lactobacilli secrete antifungal and antimicrobial agents. Decreased Lactobacilli indicate disturbances of the intestinal flora.
Clostridia are prevalent flora in a healthy intestine. As clostirida produce gases it may cause flatulence. Increased Clostridia indicates putrefaction in the intestine and may burden the body with metabolic toxins. Increased clostridia are often found in older people due to changes in their nutrition. Clostridium difficile and Clostridium perfringens are one cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
Fecal pH is influenced by numerous factors, but is largely dependet on the fermentation of fiber by the beneficial flora of the gut. With a balanced diet the fecal pH should lie between 6,2 and 6,8. Acid fecal pH indicates disorders of intestinal ecology. An alkaline fecal pH indicated an imbalanced intestine flora. It is possible that proteolytic putrefactive germs are predominant, which raise the fecal pH through alkaline metabolites (e.g. due to a high-protein diet).
Candida albicans
The genus Candida is comprised of approximately 200 different species. Candida albicans is the most common strain of them. It is a normal part of the gut flora and most people have some level of Candida albicans in their intestines. But a combination of factors can lead to an overgrowth, which then leads to several undesirable symptoms including fatigue, weight gain, joint pain, and gas.
Candida spec.
Increased candida species indicates deficiancies in colonisation resitance, disturbances of the intestinal flora and or a defect mucosa. Candida species may burden the body with toxic metabolites. Some patients respont to even low rates of yeast overgrowth.
Geotrichum candidum
Geotrichum candidum belongs to the Endomyceteaceae family. This organism can be found in soil, dairy products and in human skin and mucosae. Symptoms of Geotrichum infection have been associated with diarrhea and enteritis.
An infection with yeasts can have many reasons. Possible causes are things like corticosteroid therapy, stress, diabetes, malnutrition or birth control pills. All of them weaken the immune system and a weakened immune system cannot control yeast or help you get rid of it. Antibiotics are also a common cause of yeast infection because they destroy the good bacteria that keep it under control.
Alpha-1-antitrypsin is a glycoprotein, which is produced by the liver and cells of the gut. It belongs to the group of acute phase proteins and is a marker of of protein loss and permeability of the gut.The measurement of Alpha-1-antitrypsin in stool reflects the permeability of the gut during inflammatory processes. Increased Alpha-1-antitrypsin indicates an increased permeability of the intestinal mucous membrane, which leads to an enteral loss of Alpha-1-antitrypsin.
Secretory IgA
Secretory IgA (sIgA) is an immune protein, which reacts anti-inflammatory. It coats the intestinal lining, especially the mucosal surfaces and is supposed to protect us from inside. As secretory IgA represents the first line of defense of the GI, immunological activity in the GI tract can be assessed using secretory IgA. Low levels of fecal sIgA increase the risk of leaky gut syndrome and promote the growth of microbial pathogens in the intestine. The risk of inflammatroy immune reactions to undigested food and protein is also increased if low levels of sIgA are present. Low fecal IgA levels can result from physical or mental stress and/or inadequate nutrition. High fecal sIgA indicate immune reactions to antigens from bacteria, yeast or other microbes.

Please note the following guidelines regarding the stool collection - the correct collection of the stool is important for achieving analtered laboratory results! Please make sure to collect the samples on Mondays and post them the same day.
Mouth swab
In addition to the intestinal flora analysis for analysing yeasts and molds, we are also willing to examine your mouth swab free of charge. Please send the allocated tube together with the stool sample. Separate deliveries will not be taken into consideration.
The mouth should not be treated with an antifungal or antibacterial solution before the mouth swab. Remove the cap at the upper end of the tube along the dashed line. Move the cotton end of the stick around on your tongue a couple of times and insert it into the tube.
Before the sample collection
1. Label the sample container with your full name, the date as well as the time of the sample collection.
2. No additional sealing or stapling of the sample tubes and delivery bag is necessary.
During the sample collection
1. Please use the enclosed stool collection unit to avoid the stool coming in contact with toilet water or urine. Now collect the sample using the stool collection unit.
2. Take the enclosed collection spoon (attached underneath the lid) in order to stir the stool. Collect different samples from different areas of the stool.
3. Fill the container with the stool sample until the tube is ¾ full.
4. Close the sample container tightly with the lid and clean the outside surface if necessary
After the sample collection
1. After the collection, the stool collection unit as well as the remaining stool can be flushed down the toilet.
2. The sample can be placed in the refrigerator over night – please do not freeze!
3. Please collect the sample on Mondays and post them the same day.
4. Place the sample in the delivered protective bag (clear bag with blue border). Then place everything together with the enclosed sample dispatch note in the grey plastic envelope and seal it.
5. For shipping, please use a "Priority Mail Padded Flat Rate Envelope". The envelopes are available for free. Put the sealed grey envelope into it and send it to the following address: Brian Kalish c/o Verisana Laboratories 818 N Quincy Street Unit 806 Arlington VA 22203.
You can either receive the "Priority Mail Padded Flat Rate Envelope" at any US Postal Service Center, where you can also pay and dispatch your item. Alternatively, you can order the envelope on USPS.com, where you can also pay and create the shipping label online. Print the label and put it on the enlevope. You can then dispatch the envelope at your local post office or throw it into the next letter box (make sure it is emptied the same day!).
Please note: In accordance with the general postal regulations the sender bears the legal responsibility.
6. After approximately 14-21 days you will receive your results.
We advice you that we assume no liability for any disadvantages, costs or damages arising from incorrect collection or shipping. Samples that arrive to our laboratory due to shipment on the wrong weekday, delays in shipping services, selection of incorrect shipment services or providers, or due to force majeur may not fulfill requirements for laboratory testing anymore and may therefore have to be retaken at the sole expense of the patient.

I take probiotika. Does this affect the outcome?
Taking probiotika means supplying bacteria to your body. In conclusion, carrying out a stool test while taking probiotika will make it unpossible to distinguish the amount of natural and unnatural bacteria in your gut. If you aim to find out about the amount of natural bacteria in your gut, we recommend you to stop taking probiotika two weeks before carrying out the stool test.
Does the gluten/histamine intolerance test also show a reaction when I am on a gluten/histamine-free diet?
No, you should consume food that contains gluten or histamine during the days before taking the sample to get a meaningful result.

The White Spaces Coalition has some strong words for one of its harshest critics, the wireless microphone industry. In a letter to the FCC yesterday (PDF), lawyers for the Coalition pointed out that "most wireless microphone use is unlawful" and they went after mic maker Shure for its "scare tactic" approach to the white spaces issue. But the bluster was really just prelude to a compromise proposal designed to smooth the way for unlicensed white spaces broadband devices by sidelining one of their biggest critics. The Coalition now supports an anti-interference plan that includes not just spectrum sensing, but also "protection beacons."
Churches: hotbeds of
illegal microphone use
If your church uses wireless microphones, it's probably doing so in violation of FCC rules. Such "Part 74 devices" are only to be used under license by broadcasters, but have in fact popped up in just about every concert hall, house of worship, and Broadway show. While technically illegal, no one—certainly not the FCC—is going to send the shock troops into Good Shepherd Evangelical Free Church to rip the lapel mic from the preacher's lapel. It just wouldn't look good.
So despite the illegal usage, the Coalition supports an "amnesty" for mic users. Its compromise plan to avoid interference is to allow the use of "protection beacons," cheap transmitters that would alert any white spaces devices in the area not to broadcast on particular channels. Shure claimed in an earlier filing that such devices would cost $1,000, but the Coalition called this an "outrageous estimate" that was used to scare people into rallying churches and theaters to its side. In reality, said the Coalition, it would cost only $30 or $40 per beacon.
But, to support beacons, the Coalition wants to make sure that beacon use is licensed. This means expanding the FCC licensing program to include churches and theaters, making them legal, but requiring them to go through some additional paperwork to get a license. The Coalition's worry appears to be that unlicensed beacons would pop up everywhere otherwise and might hamper the effectiveness of white spaces devices.
The whole debate is a strange one for two reasons: first, the people arguing the loudest are generally breaking the rules, and second, the very existence of unlicensed wireless mics in the TV spectrum, at thousands and thousands of US churches, schools, and theaters actually provides ammunition to white spaces backers. If the mics aren't destroying television, perhaps white spaces devices won't be the TV-killers they're made out to be by broadcasters.
Two down, one to go?
So say the broadcasters
When the idea of using open space in over-the-air TV spectrum for unlicensed wireless broadband was first mooted, it sounded great—more broadband! Wireless!—but it also had the whiff of gimmickry about it. Over the last year, though, the White Spaces Coalition that includes Microsoft, Google, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and Phillips has mounted a determined effort to see the devices through FCC testing and eventual certification.
The foes that stand against them are three, in the proper storybook manner: wireless microphone users and manufacturers, TV broadcasters, and medical device makers. All worry about interference, and as the microphone lobby and the National Association of Broadcasters wrapped up the anti-white-spaces rhetoric last year, it became clear that the White Spaces Coalition would need to get serious or go home.
They've decided to play hard. Just in the last two weeks, we've seen a newfound commitment to compromising with opposition groups in order to advance the technology. The Coalition and GE, a major maker of medical devices, that sometimes use channel 37 in the TV spectrum for telemetry data, came to an agreement last week that would mask white space emissions on channels 36-38.
If the new compromise satisfies wireless microphone users, that could leave only the broadcasters as significant opponents of the idea. The NAB's opposition to the idea of white spaces has been ferocious, and it's not clear that any compromise will satisfy both parties. Perhaps testing this summer by the FCC of additional white spaces prototypes will provide some clear guidance going forward.

Lipice Micro Shine – Flirty Mauve Review & Swatches
Hi beauties
Today I'd be reviewing Lipice Lip balm in shade Flirty Mauve, which is mauve as the name suggests. This is my first lipice product, although I saw its ad and stuff but never got prompted to buy one for me; however with this I broke my hesitation.
Check out  My experience with LipIce.com & Lipice Lip Balm And Lipglosses Review
- Price: INR 200/-
- Quantity: 2.3gms
About Lipice Micro Shine – Flirty Mauve
Also check out 8 Lip balms Review And Swatches|8 Best Lip Care Products
My Take on Lipice Micro Shine Flirty Mauve:-
- Packaging: It comes packed inside a cardboard thingy, which has all the details at the back. The lip balm though doesn't have any much details on it except the bottom which has the name of the shade. It comes in a twist form, and the packing is sturdy enough.
- Shade: The shade is an intense blue-based purple-plumy shade, which totally makes my lips look dark and aged. Infact with this lip balm, I have to be a little gently not to over apply it, because it gets really intense and almost dark purple on me (booooh I have pigmented lips !) I'm not a big fan of this lip balm, since I feel it's too dark for being a lip balm, it would have been great if it was just a tint.
- Staying power: It starts on really dark and intense with a little shine, but gradually starts fading within half an hour and fades after an hour or so. The max it stayed on my lips was 2hrs. That's ok, if you consider it as a lip balm, but I consider it more as a lipstick (being soo pigmented, and price and also the quantity is less). The good thing is that it doesn't transfers to teeth (that is one of its claim).
Lipice Micro Shine – Flirty Mauve Swatch & Lip Swatch
Following is the swatch & on my lips I've applied it really gently:-
Final verdict: – It's a nice pigmented lipstick in a form of lip balm, with added benefits of UV protection. But I doubt if anyone would want dark vampy purpley lips. The staying power is ok-ish, and it moisturizes well till the time its on lips. I would not purchase it.
Rating: 3.5/4

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The College of Communications at Penn State has been selected as the 2013 recipient of the AEJMC Equity and Diversity Award, which is presented annually by the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication.
The award recognizes journalism and mass communication academic units that have attained measurable success with approaches to increasing racial, gender and ethnic equity and diversity. The award will be presented Aug. 8 during the keynote session of the annual AEJMC conference in Washington, D.C.
Members of the selection committee for the award commended the College of Communications for its approach and programs.
"This year we received several excellent award nominations that represent the repertoire of innovations in enhancing educational equity and diversity in our field. We commend Penn State's College of Communications for achieving the gold standard in building a truly diverse, inclusive and equitable learning environment," said Deb Aikat, chair of the AEJMC Equity and Diversity Award advisory committee and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill faculty member.
The nomination packet for the College of Communications outlined several key areas in building a program that encourages equity and diversity. They included:
-- curriculum and coursework that includes more than 80 diversity-focused learning modules;
-- programs and community outreach designed with a priority on multiculturalism;
-- a dedicated office of Multicultural Affairs; and
-- a sizable scholarship program for students of color.
"An internationally recognized research institution, Penn State has distinguished itself with equity and diversity," Aikat said. "The Penn State College of Communications has fostered an inclusive curriculum, a diverse academic community and a supportive climate for research, teaching and public service."
The AEJMC is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the highest possible standards for journalism and mass communication education, to cultivate the widest possible range of communication research, to encourage the implementation of a multicultural society in the classroom and curriculum, and to defend and maintain freedom of communication in an effort to achieve better professional practice and a better informed public.
AEJMC has 3,700 members from 50 countries that affiliate among 18 divisions, 10 interest groups and two commissions.
"We're grateful for the recognition that's been given to the college for our commitment to diversity and equity in our student body, our faculty, our curriculum, our programming, our various external boards and our research," said Dean Doug Anderson.
Previous winners of the Equity and Diversity Award were communication programs at universities located in states that are statistically much more diverse than Pennsylvania. Previous award winners were: the University of Southern California, 2012; Texas State University, 2011; Elon University in North Carolina, 2010; and Louisiana State University, 2009.

text: The first-ever biological expedition of Australia's "lost world" - the small patch of rain forest in Cape York - has resulted in the discovery of three new species! Cape York is a large peninsula located on at the tip of Australia's state of Queensland. This secluded piece of the continent is largely regarded as one of the largest, unspoiled wilderness areas on Earth. Cape Melville. Photo via National Geographic. This past March, an expert team of scientists and filmmakers ventured to the small range of mountain plateaus on Cape Melville (located on the northeastern part of the peninsula). During their four-day expedition, the group discovered and identified three new species of animals: a leaf-tail gecko, a blotched-boulder frog and a shade skink. These species are especially exciting and interesting for our community as they're representative of the unique ways animals adapt to the harsh environment of Australia. For example, the blotched-boulder frog has evolved to minimize the need for water in its reproduction - an adaption to suit its dry rocky environment! It's thought that primitive versions of the leaf-tail gecko once flourished in the Australian rain forest. Now we know that they have survived over the years by using their flat, uniquely-shaped body to camouflage itself into the rocky terrain, avoiding predators and waiting patiently for prey! Leaf-tail gecko perfectly camouflaged. Photo via National Geographic. It's exciting to see these discoveries make headlines because many outside of the continent are unaware that a lot of Australia, a country almost the size of the continental United States, has yet to be discovered. Unlike the South American rain forest, which has been well-traveled and documented by scientists for decades, Australia's land is rough and oftentimes difficult to navigate. It's climate range can also make extended trips a challenge. To learn more about these recent discoveries, click here. I'll be sure to share more information as the team continues their expedition!

Publication Acceptance Date: 12/29/2010
Publication Date: 1/1/2011
Citation: Bassett, C.L., Glenn, D.M. 2011. Delta 13C predicts water deficit sensitivity in Malus sieversii (Ledeb.) M. Roem. from a xerophytic site in Kazakhstan [abstract]. Northeast Region-American Society for Horticultural Science Annual Meeting. p. 17.
Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Modern apples [Malus x domestica (Borkh.)] are thought to have originated in western China from the progenitor species, Malus sieversii (Ledeb.) M. Roem. Due to many generations of selection for traits associated with high fruit quality, our current breeding germplasm has become dangerously narrow. Genes for other useful traits such as disease and insect resistance, cold hardiness, and drought tolerance are quite limited within our breeding populations. To expand our repertoire of stress responsive genes that can be used to improve drought tolerance and/or water use efficiency (WUE) in our current apple varieties, we have screened a population of M. sieversii isolated from a xerophytic site in Kazakhstan. Using delta 13C as a surrogate measurement of WUE to select M. Sieversii individuals with extreme WUE values, we clonally propagated GMAL4002.e and GMAL3685.e (both low WUE values), along with a commercially important cultivar ('Royal Gala') to serve as a standard for comparison. In a preliminary experiment, the lowest WUE line (GMAL4002.e) showed signs of early wilting after water was withheld from the pots for six days. 'Royal Gala', GMAL3685.e, and well watered controls from each line showed no signs of wilting during this time.

Elevator FAQs
How much does a home elevator cost?
For most consumers, this is their first question, but there is no easy answer. Ultimately, cost depends on a variety of factors, including: how many floors will the elevator be traveling, custom finishes, cab configurations, and many more.
Your best bet is to speak with an expert who can assess your situation and provide recommendations based on your home layout, your budget, and other needs. An experienced elevator expert can usually give you a ballpark estimate in just a few minutes over the phone.
How long does it take to manufacture a home elevator?
Once the manufacturer has all the information they need to create your custom home elevator, the average manufacturing time is 6-8 weeks. This ensures that every component meets construction and safety requirements, and provides you with the right equipment to accommodate your home.
How long does it take to install a home elevator?
If the hoistway has been installed and the site has already been prepared to accommodate the new elevator, then installation can range from 1-3 days.
How much room do I need to install a home elevator?
The smallest standard cab size we offer requires a 52" x 54" hoistway, which allows for a 36" x 48" cab size. Many homes are built with the capability of adding an elevator where closets are vertically aligned.
Do I need a pit for my elevator, and how deep should it be?
Yes. A pit recessed 12" down from the bottom landing finished floor is standard. An 8" pit may be permitted in some instances.
How much overhead clearance do I need for my home elevator?
The amount of overhead clearance needed depends on the cab height. Generally, the overhead clearance will be 22" greater than the cab height. Overhead clearance is measured from the top finished floor, to the nearest obstruction in the elevator shaft.
Cab Height: 80" - Overhead clearance: 102"
Cab Height: 84" - Overhead clearance: 106"
Cab Height: 95" - Overhead clearance: 117"
What is the best elevator drive system?
If you have been doing your research, you may have noticed that hydraulic, chain, winding drum and vacuum drive systems are used to power elevators. The overhead winding drum system is usually the preferred option for most homeowners due to the fact that it does not require a machine room. Elevators utilizing an overhead winding drum system are also referred to as Machine Room-Less Elevators, or MRL Elevators.
Do home elevators look and feel like commercial elevators?
One of the biggest differences people will notice between residential and commercial elevators are the doors, simply because everyone is used to seeing the big sliding metal doors in commercial buildings.
Our residential elevator blends seamlessly into the home with a standard left or right-hand door that can match the other doors in your home. From the outside, the only indication of an elevator will be the buttons on the wall.
The cab's interior finishes are completely up to you ranging from a selection of melamine colors to luxurious wood choices (birch, oak, cherry, mahogany).
What are my decorative design options?
More affordable elevators will come with melamine panels. You can choose among different colors or opt for hardwood veneers, and raised panel cab designs. Options for fixture finishes, handrails, and car operating panels are available as well.
How far can a home elevator travel?
The Elite Residential Elevator can travel a maximum of 7 floors with 7 stops, which is much more than the vast majority of residential elevator installations. Most applications that require more than 7 stops will need to opt for a commercial elevator.
Are home elevators safe?
Absolutely. Residential elevators are subject to strict manufacturing and installation codes that are meant to protect consumers and offer maximum safety. As long as your elevator was properly installed, you can rest assured that it will operate smoothly and come with a long-list of safety features.
Are there financial advantages to installing an elevator?
You may be able to enjoy certain tax deductions for installing a home elevator if it is medically necessary, but be sure to check with your tax professional to see if this applies to your situation. In addition, an elevator can increase the value of your home.

Just by adding a few plants to your home can really make it look stunning in no time. All it takes is a little time on a weekend to plant your garden and perhaps some motivation to go outside a few times a week to water or trim your plants and take care of any statues or inanimate objects you choose to put in your yard. If you have the desire to make your home look great and the time to do it, then you should head over to your nearest wholesale garden decoration warehouse to pick up all of your needed outdoor garden decoration supplies. There are those, however, who do not have a garden decoration outlet near them. If you have the unfortunate luck of being in a neighborhood without a garden decoration warehouse, then you can always find an online garden decoration store which should be able to meet all of your gardening and decorating needs.
When it comes to home garden decoration, there are a surprising number of different products you can buy to make your house look great and classy. Garden lawn decoration is one of the first things one thinks of when they think of dressing up their property. There is huge variety of different products which you can add to your grass to make your property feel like a well manicured mansion. Such lawn garden decoration possibilities include statues, fountains and miniature water gardens.
While lawn and garden decoration are some of the most popular options, you can also purchase patio garden decoration and wall garden decoration. Such items are designed to spruce up your property without having to subject you to hassles of lawn decoration, like having to mow around statues or fountains when you trim the grass. Also, consider purchasing a garden decoration gift for a new neighbor or friend who has moved close to your home.

In watching Real Time with Bill Maher last week, I'm realizing that polling of public opinion is inherently flawed.
In a discussion of the first enforcement of Obama's health care reform this week–not allowing insurance companies to drop coverage for children with pre-existing conditions–one of the members of the panel, Andrew Breitbart, editor of The Drudge Report, threw out a poll number in making one of his points: "Obamacare was shoved down [everyone's] throats… 70% of Americans were against Obamacare."
This follows a string of other poll numbers that makes me wondering to whom they are asking these questions. I've yet to get a phone call or an email asking my opinion on anything. And, though I realize it is a logical fallacy to say what I'm about to, the majority of people I know were in favor of "Obamacare." When a poll comes out that says that 20% of Americans still believe that Obama is a Muslim, despite all of the evidence otherwise, I wonder how the numbers would have turned out if different people, maybe people with some common sense who take a few moments out of the day to think for themselves.
But the biggest problem I see with the poll numbers is that so many people use the numbers as undeniable truth. When Breitbart threw the statistic that 70% of Americans were against health care reform, it was as if he had personally gone out and asked all 300 million or so people in the United States, and had done the necessary calculations do determine that, yes, it was exactly 70% of Americans that were against "Obamacare."
Never mind that this sort of polling only does a random sampling of Americans. And never mind that public opinion of something can change as more information is gathered and processed. And never mind that, even within the random sampling, there is always a margin of error. The "70%" that Breitbart is talking about could really be 72%, which would be in his favor, or possibly 68%, which would be in the favor of everyone that can't afford health coverage that now can under this reform.
70% is 70%, always and forever, the Gospel according to Pew.
It's truly upsetting to me that people can spew out poll numbers without really knowing the context. Anyone who has ever taken a class that covered the basics of how to avoid bias know that there are several ways to state percentages: the majority or the minority. Each perspective puts people in a different mindset: "70% of Americans are against Obamacare" makes it seem like a bad thing, whereas "30% of Americans support health care reform" makes it seem like something positive that needs more support.
Even the percentage is completely wrong. In every study that I've ever seen or read about, there is never a clear cut "do you or don't you" approach to responding to polls. There is always a spectrum, a scale of one to five, or one to ten, of how much you agree or disagree with a statement. Which means, how does that 70% break down? Are 50% strongly against, and the other 20% simply against? Could 10% be strongly against, 15% against, and 25% slightly against? Does the 70% include anyone who didn't have an opinion either way?
Bottom line is, all polls have context. If you don't know the context of the poll numbers, or even if you don't consider the source, you are unwittingly spreading false information.

Conservation and Environment in Costa Rica: Monthly Updates
Monthly Updates from 2013
Conservation in Costa Rica Monthly Update November-December 2013 Barra Honda has been involved not only in the first ever bat census in Central America, but also the first at a regional level within Costa Rica. This survey was part of a larger program called "Work Plans and Strategies for the Conservation of Bats in Central America".
This bird is one of our "flag species" in the park, and having saved a young baby last year, we are ready to start the project again.
Before bringing you up to date on our ongoing work here in Costa Rica, I would like to provide some basic information on our project site. The Barra Honda National Park (PNBH) is located in the Canton of Nicoya, Guanacaste Province, about 22km northeast of the city of Nicoya.
February was a month where we launched several new projects. For example the project started with a focus on birds, then we began working on the new biodigester. We also had the management plan for the fore-coming year to work on, along with visiting the wetland Corral de Piedra to take stock of the migratory birds.

I have a box, called the BNIBB. The Brand New In Box Box. It's where I keep all my new packaged goods that I haven't had the chance to use or been able to bring myself to use yet like…
Limited edition Majolica Majorca Mascaras….
The whole MAC barbie collection……
The Disney Paul & Joe range……
The Goache De Chanel kit I must have bought a decade ago…..
Having a rummage I found two new mascaras I've never touched – Shiseido Integrate Long and Volume mascaras. I've been using my new Chanel Exceptionnel every day – a gorgeous mascara that's easy to remove, which is a big reason why I am using it, but nothing for curl.
Integrate is a brand I wanted to love but there's nothing spectacular about it. I like the Diamond Rouge's but that's about it.
The brushes for long and volume are different – straight for long, curved for volume. I found the curved one easier to use – it fit into the eye better.
Just one coat of the Long mascara gave me longer, fluttery lashes – super fluttery and guess what? It held curl! I loveeeddd this.
Volume also gave a good long lash, although it was thicker in texture, so it gave a stronger look, especially around the base of the lash:
To compare:
Please excuse my googly eyes – not long after these pictures were taken I was taken to A & E!
One coat of each:
A tiny bit clumpy together but I didn't comb it – it stays soft so I reckon a good comb would sort this out.
I am in love again with a mascara. It was fairly easy to use too. At the moment my top mascaras (considering that holding and enhancing curl is the biggest consideration for my type of lashes are):
1) SANA BIG CURL MASCARA – amazing, truly but a complete and utter nightmare to remove
2) SHISEIDO LIFTING MASCARA – lovely stuff but less impact than SANA and still as hard to get off
3) TIFFA LONG – this works well with the TIFFA base and hold curl. However I found TIFFA volume doesn't hold curl very well and you can't layer them because they will flop.
I'm not kidding, I have about 30 mascaras and these are the three that actively hold curl – even Shu Uemura, Majolica, Aube, MAQUillage make my lashes flop a bit.
Then there's integrate! How does it rate in comparison to these? very well indeed.
No, it doesn't come in glam packaging, but it really works. The length side really does add fluttery long lashes with no sign of flopping. The volume mascara (they are SEPARATE mascaras) gives a thicker look – most people would probably prefer this one. Together they really give some faux lash type impact! Even when layered, the curl stays. I love it!!! It is also fine to remove which makes it a bonus.
*oh my god. I've just seen that there is a 'separate' mascara. You KNOW I need this.
Cost is £8/$99HK from Adambeauty. I really really like it, and you know I don't like most things….
