Peyton Manning's greatness often is taken for granted. He's so consistent that it takes an extraordinary feat for us to stand up and truly take notice.

On the NFL's opening night, Manning pulled off one of those feats, tossing a league-record-tying seven touchdown passes in the Denver Broncos' 49-27 win over Baltimore Ravens. Of the six quarterbacks who've thrown seven TD passes in a game, only Manning and Y.A. Tittle did it without an interception.
Manning did his best Thursday to make Broncos fans forget about last January's divisional-round playoff loss to the Ravens. He did it by showing this was a new Broncos offense. Julius Thomas was a huge factor at tight end, catching five passes for 110 yards and two scores. Free-agent pickup Wes Welker also scored twice. Defenses simply can't match up with all of Manning's weapons.
The Broncos trailed 17-14 at halftime, a fact that will be forgotten in this bloodbath's aftermath. Less than nine minutes into the third quarter, the Broncos were ahead 35-17. This is an offense that can erupt at any time. Manning's style of play has changed over the years, but he's as effective as ever.

Manning also tied Brett Favre's league record with his 23rd career game with at least four TD throws and Drew Brees' mark with his seventh career five-TD performance. The Ravens like the talent in their secondary, but Manning made Michael Huff, Corey Graham, and Jimmy Smith look foolish for much of the night.
This Broncos' offense threatens to be as explosive as any Manning has ever played on. Historical nights could become a trend in Denver this season.

My first time was with Pokemon ^^ I really wanted to watch sailor moon as well but It was taboo at the time so I didn't.
Both my older brothers were into it and even more fanatical about catching them all than me, of course now they're both religious fanatics dedicating their lives to 'preaching the gospel' but there were a few good times back in the day, when I would let my imagination run wild. We even started to make our own Pokemon cards and rules... I actually felt like my brothers and I were getting along... but then religion of course fracked all that up.
Man I love Pokemon forever ^_^
I think I discovered Ranma 1/2 and Tenchi Muyo at about the same time. I was immediately hooked!
My first anime shows were Dragonball Z and Tenchi Muyo (and possibly Cowboy Bebop). More like ones that were shown on Toonami back in the Mid-late 90's. Back then, I still didn't get too interested in anime until InuYasha started to show on adult swim back in 2001-2002. Ever since then, I started to get hooked on it.
Sailor Moon, of course! Although I have vague fond memories of Card Captor Sakura and Pokemon, too...

Friday evening saw me shaking in my Italian, diamond studded shoes as I headed into Dublin's new Convention Centre. The reason for the nerves was my impending interview with gorgeous, talented celebrity chef, Gino D'Acampo (@Ginofantastico), who was there for Taste of Christmas, the season's finest food, drink and shopping event.
As I was lead into the room where the interview would take place, I spotted Gino at a desk in the corner, tapping away on a computer. As my legs turned to jelly, I realised that to try and escape would be futile!
"Buongiorno Bellissima," he said, jumping up to greet me. After he planted a kiss on both my cheeks, we sat down on a cream leather sofa and I began to relax. I watched him make himself comfortable and noted how sexy he looked in his grey jumper and Dolce & Gabbana jeans. His beautiful blue eyes sparkled as he smiled encouragingly at me. "Do you have some questions you'd like to ask?" he said, in his gorgeous Italian accent.
Oh God… yes… questions! I wanted to say no – I wanted to say that if it was alright with him, I'd just sit and stare at him for the next while but I had a job to do so I thought I'd better get on with it. There were a million things I wanted to ask him but since this is a blog about Twitter, I reckoned I should start there.
With almost 100,000 followers, Gino is a very popular man. I asked him what he loves about Twitter. "I love that it's such a direct contact with fans," he said. "I love to get feedback about things – my books, my new app - the fans will always tell me what's good and bad about these things. I sometimes run ideas past them too. I might have an idea for a new recipe or something I want to include in a book and I'll ask them their opinions."
I've seen how Twitter almost explodes when Gino tweets something, prompting thousands of questions and comments from fans (mainly women!) anxious to make contact with him. I asked him if he manages his own Twitter account and how it's possible to keep up with all the tweets. "Of course I manage my own account," he said. "It's my direct contact with people so it wouldn't make sense for anyone else to do it. It's difficult to answer everyone but I try to get to as many as I can – sometimes with just a hello or a few kisses."
Gino makes no secret of his love of Dublin, tweeting often about it. He sent a tweet last Friday that read:
And this is why I Love Dublin, cheers to you all my TweetFriends, you are the best xxxxxx http://yfrog.com/74tqqqj
So obviously the Guinness is high on his list, but what else is it about Dublin that draws him to the city? "It's the people," he said. "The people of Dublin are fantastico! They're warm and genuine and great fun. In fact, they're very like Italian people."
Gino, who lives in north London with his wife, Jessica and his sons, Rocco and Luciano, inherited his love of cooking from his Grandfather. "He was a head chef," Gino told me, "and taught me many things – about life as well as cooking. He told me that I should always push myself to be the best I can be. He was a really great influence in my life."
When I asked Gino about Christmas dinner at his house, he told me that they very rarely cook turkey. "It's all about fish," he said. "We usually have shellfish and a favourite for the main course would be sea bass with roasted vegetables."
Having skipped lunch because of the swarm of butterflies in my stomach, my mouth was watering at the thought of his delicious cooking. I asked him what he'd cook for me if I was a guest at his house for dinner. He looked at me with a cheeky grin and I knew I wasn't going to get a straight answer! "For you, bellissima," he said, "eggs on toast and then…!" Ladies I'll leave that one to your imagination!
When I managed to compose myself, we chatted about his new book, Gino's Pasta. I asked him why write a book completely about pasta? "Everywhere I go, people ask me about pasta," he says. "It's so versatile and lends itself to quick and tasty dinners, which is fantastic for people with busy lives. I wanted to show everyone how delicious and yet simple it can be."
In 2009 Gino was crowned king of the jungle in I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! It was no surprise he took the crown as his boyish charm and cheeky smile endeared him to the nation and his endless enthusiasm and upbeat personality won over the hearts of his fellow campers. With the current series well underway, I asked him if he was watching. "To be honest, I'm so busy at the moment, I don't get to see it all the time," he said. "I watched the first few episodes and I've just been catching up whenever I can."
But does he miss being there? Is he pining for the rice and beans? Does he wish he could once again endure a bush tucker trial? Does he long to tuck into widgety grubs and kangaroo testicles? He winced at that. "I absolutely don't miss being there," he said, honestly. "It was one of the best experiences of my life. I loved every last minute of it and made some great friends. But it's something you only want to do once in your life. I don't regret any of it but have no inclination to repeat the experience!"
And what about Gillian McKeith, I wanted to know. What does he think of her and how she's been acting in camp? He didn't hesitate. "She shouldn't be there," he said. "If she's so phobic about everything and feeling sick and weak, she should really just leave. It's as simple as that."
As the current king, he must have a favourite – somebody he'd love to hand his crown over to. "Well I'm not actually travelling over to hand back my crown," he said. "I'm just so busy at the moment, I don't have the time. But my front-runners would be Alison Hammond and Stacey Solomon. They're both fantastic and would be worthy winners."
Before I went to meet Gino, I sent out a tweet to ask his fans that if they had the opportunity to ask him one question, what it would be. Well, suffice it to say that a lot were unrepeatable! But I took a few of the most popular ones and, as they do on all the best game-shows, we had a quick-fire round!
If you could be anything other than a chef, what would you be?
A dentist.
What's your secret to having women fall at your feet?
Confidence – having the confidence to look a woman in the eye.
What was the first thing you cooked for your wife?
Chicken in Marsala wine.
What are the basic store cupboard items you should always have?
Extra virgin olive oil, tins of tomatoes, pasta, eggs and milk.
Is there anyone you'd like to meet that you haven't met already?
Paul McCartney.
Are you always as happy and upbeat as you appear to be?
Yes. Life is too short not to be.
Unfortunately, my time with Gino had come to an end but I wasn't letting him go without a proper Irish hug. I did it for all you ladies out there! Honestly, the things I have to do for this job…!
Catch Gino most mornings on his regular slot on ITV's This Morning and Sunday's at 3pm on LBC radio with his show 'Live from Gino's Kitchen'.

The Big PictureActivity by Melissa Pentecost | added on Feb 03, 2011 | New Zealand
Sponsor(s): Royal Society of New Zealand, MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology, New Zealand Institute of Chemistry, Victoria University of Wellington
The New Zealand Launch of the Year of Chemistry, featuring Merino Gold and Sir Richard Friend
The talents of Victoria University chemists and Massey fashion designers combine to bring you the Merino Gold Fashion Show. Using wool fabric bonded with clusters of gold atoms, students are competing for the opportunity to visit the fashion houses of Italy. The winner of the show will be announced during the evening.
Following the fashion show, Sir Richard Friend, Lord Rutherford's successor as Director of the famous Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge University, presents;
Exploring the creative tensions between science and technology
Many of the big discoveries in science have come about after a breakthrough in technology. Galileo needed lens-making technology before he could construct his telescope which changed our view of the universe forever.
However, current popular perceptions of the scientific method are different. Too often science is presented as a series of 'grand challenges', with the assumption that we all know where the next important problem lies. So, how does it really work?
Sir Richard Friend will present his views, drawing on his experience of commercialising basic research at Cambridge University. Over the past 40 years a high-technology cluster has built up around the University, comprising some 1000 companies and 40,000 jobs. This provides a creative environment both for scientific discovery and its translation to the marketplace.
Tickets to the event are free and open to the public. Click on the link below to register. For more information contact email@example.com or 04 4705770.
Time 6.00pm – 7.15pm
Date Wednesday 9 February 2011
Location Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington
In association with the McDiarmid Institute's fifth international conference, AMN5

Goddammit. I just read the letters in response to this, and I don't know whether to cry or put my fist through a wall.
As I just said to Spillah, the beginning of the real, no-fucking-around "Is Hillary Electable?" debate hurts my heart. My gut says she's probably not electable. And under ordinary circumstances, I make every effort not get all single-issue-addled at the expense of pragmatic progress. But this time, I am fucking well doing it. I want her to run, and I want her to run her ass off. I would honestly rather see her go down fighting like mad than see a Democrat get elected. (I mean, ideally, I'd love to see her get elected. I'm just not terribly optimistic.)
Because the truth is this: there is not one thing wrong with her that isn't wrong with every other Democratic contender (unless you're super-passionate on a different single issue; if you just can't vote for anyone who supported the war, fine, but that's not most people's issue with her). She's got a terrible personality! An unintelligible voting record! A scandalous past! A history of capitulating to assholes! Okay, but… which of the other possible nominees don't?
And those are the valid criticisms.
Basically, I will grant that it is possible to separate the invective directed at her from her lack of a penis only when I start hearing male politicians routinely called "shrill" (instead of just pussy-whipped by shrill wives), "calculating" ('cause we'd rather they wing it?), and "too ambitious." The last one makes me want to eat my own head. We're talking about people who are RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED FUCKING STATES. Is it humanly possible to be "too ambitious" under those circumstances? Would we prefer an unambitious president?
Oh, wait, I get it–you're saying she's too ambitious just because she wants to become president with the scant qualifications of 8 years in the senate, a distinguished law career, thirty years of intimately observing an enormously successful politician, 8 years of working with him from the goddamn White House, tremendous name recognition and fundraising resources, a history of taking vicious personal attacks in stride, and a lifetime of exceptional intelligence? Except, wait, that actually sounds like a pretty damn good candidate. So, her going for the presidency is "too ambitious" because…?
Oh. Right.
That's the thing. I'm not saying there aren't good reasons to dislike her. I'm saying there aren't good reasons to despise her the way so many do–that shit is directly related to her being a woman who doesn't know her place. A woman who has the gall to believe she deserves to apply for any job she's capable of. A woman who knows exactly how smart she is and acts as if that should bloody well count for something. A woman who has not backed down in the face of more than a decade's worth of brutal public criticism.
We don't know what to do with a woman like that. We keep telling her what her place is, and the bitch just won't listen! It makes a lot of people nervous. It makes me unutterably grateful. I hope like hell she gets the nomination, regardless of whether she wins. Sure, if she loses, they'll say it proves you shouldn't send a woman to do a man's job; that'll smart. But they'll say that if she wins, too, every single time she makes a human mistake. They'll say it, one way or another, every step of the way. What I admire so much about her is that she never, ever believes it. The power of that, of her simply staying in the goddamned game, is tremendous. And it's something this culture needs to see a hell of a lot more of from smart, talented women.
Finally, it would take me about a hundred years to fully unpack my black hatred for the word "shrill," but can I just take a moment to remind anyone who claims it's not a code word for "woman I don't feel like listening to" that its definition strictly includes "high-pitched." As in, the problem is not just a sharp tone, it is the sound of a woman's voice. And of course, the fact is, Hillary Rodham Clinton doesn't have a very high-pitched voice, any more than Teresa Heinz or I do. "Shrill" is the last thing any of us are–"roaring with righteous fury and no small amount of plain old irritation" would be a lot more accurate. But the true meaning of this word that's become synonymous with "irrationally angry" and "hateful" has absolutely nothing to do with a woman's attitude, and everything to do with her speaking at all.

The Daisywise (aka the Sage Margarita)/
The other fresh herb I needed to find use for after Thanksgiving was sage. Man, I do lovelovelove me some sage on a turkey or in a stuffing. (p.s. If you ever want my mother-in-law's recipe for outside-the-bird stuffing, trust me, you do. Also p.s., stuffing is an underrated foodstuff for when you're drunk.)
But sage in other places I had to think about, and then sniff about. Honestly, I wound up holding a bouquet of sage up to one nostril, various bottles of liquor to the other, and deciding which smells I thought went well together. (If there's a hard and fast science to cocktail-making, somebody send me the equation. I've got 99 ways to come up with a cocktail, but a formula ain't one.)
The sage and tequila, wafting together as one, struck my nosebuds hard, stinging and good. Sage kinda looks like a cactus, right? Cacti are, like, Mexican, right? (My cultural references clearly begin and end with Looney Tunes.) Starting obvious, I constructed a pretty standard margarita, replacing regular simple syrup with my sage syrup, going whole hog on the triple sec, adding a dash of honey lemon water as my X factor. Result: too sweet, or at least sweet enough that the sage couldn't really come through. Take two: I stripped down to the basics, ix-naying the triple sec and lemon honey hoo-ha. Now after a citrus-sweet jolt on the front end, the cocktail finished with a long, happy marriage of sage-tequila grassy-sourness.
Lastly, I thought to do a salt-and-pepper rim. The full-on salt rim typical of many margaritas, I see the logic to that; usually margaritas are way sweet, so you want an equally strong counter-punch of salt going up against that. But as that wasn't the case here, I thought it'd be nice to let the pepper come out and play with the sage and tequila. (It's like picking teams for kickball! Lime/sugar/salt vs. tequila/sage/pepper!)
Hey, by the way, did you know that margarita means "daisy" in Spanish? How did I never know this? Probably because a) I took French, b) I live in a place where they speak French, and c) they rarely spoke Spanish in Looney Tunes.
The Daisywise (aka the Sage Margarita)
2 ounces tequila blanco
1 1/2 ounces sage-infused simple syrup
2 ounces lime juice
Freshly grated sea salt and a little bit of freshly cracked black pepper, for the rim
Using a piece of cut lime, sticky up the lip of a martini or cocktail glass and roll in a salt-and-pepper mixture. Set glass aside. Combine all liquid ingredients in an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake, then strain into your glass.
Tasting Notes
Why WHY didn't I save a sprig of sage to garnish this? Or go pick a freaking daisy and put that in?? (Um, because it's December in Canada, you hoser?)

Check out our featured provider
/kWh †
Stable-rate and green products available!
Call now for our best rates!
If you live in a deregulated area of Texas, chances are there are many fixed-rate and variable-rate supply plans available to you. It is important to shop around and compare Texas energy rates in Spur to make sure you're getting the best plan for you.
Electricity rates and supply plans vary depending on your location, so click on your city below and learn more about Texas energy rates in Spur:
|Old Glory
|Roaring Springs
Before you find your perfect supply plan in Spur, it is important to understand the different types of energy rates that are available in Texas. A fixed rate means your rate per kWh will stay the same during your entire contract. Fixed rates may also be referred to as stable rates or secure rates. Plans with fixed rates are an option for consumers who want to secure their energy rate and not worry about changes in market prices.
A variable rate means that your rate per kWh may change during your energy plan. With a variable-rate plan your bill could be a different amount each month, making it hard to predict how much you might spend on energy. If market prices increase, you might see a higher supply rate one month. However, if market prices decrease, you might benefit from lower supply rates.
When it comes to choosing an energy supply plan, there is more to consider than just the rate. Before you sign up for an energy plan, think about how long you'll be at your current residence in Spur. If you own a house and don't plan on moving for a long time, you may be interested in a longer contract. For consumers who rent an apartment, a short-term contract may provide more flexibility that is valuable to you in case you need to move.
When shopping for a new energy plan, it may be tempting to only search for low electricity rates. However, when you compare energy supply plans, you may not be comparing apples to apples. You might find a plan with low electricity rates, but if it's a variable-rate supply plan the rates could increase later on. If it's a fixed-rate supply plan, the rate will stay the same month after month. Take the time to learn more about the energy rates you're paying before choosing your supply plan.
What is important to you in an energy company may be different from what is important to your friends and neighbors. While some people consider the history of a company or its community involvement, others may only consider a company's supply rates. Each company offers something different, so take the time to think about what is important to you in an energy company before making a decision.
Keep in mind there are electricity pricing differences across Texas. This is usually dependent on which transmission and distribution utility serves the area. Even with the same retail electric provider, the energy rates Spur residents pay may not be what customers in other locations pay.
Updated: 10-20-15.
On January 1, 2002, Texas residents gained the power to choose their electricity provider. With the implementation of Texas Senate Bill 7, areas of the state became deregulated energy markets. Texans in these areas cannot get their electricity supply from their utility, but they can shop around for electricity service. Across most of the state, residents have the power to choose where to get their electricity supply.
With this choice also comes the responsibility of shopping around to find the electric provider that can offer you everything you expect from an electricity company at rates that will fit nicely into your budget. It is up to you to compare energy rates from electricity providers in your area.
When switching energy providers, the first thing to research is the available rates and plans in your area. Instead of having only one option with your utility company for energy rates or plans, if you live in a deregulated area, you can shop around for something different. Electricity supply rates vary depending on where in Texas you live. It is important to compare energy rates among the providers in your service area. You have the choice of finding a provider that offers exactly what you're looking for.
When you compare electricity companies, you also want to consider how long your contract should be. You can find electricity supply plans that last from one month to several years. Think about how long you might be in your current service area. If you own a home, you might want the stability of a longer contract. If you live in an apartment, you might prefer the flexibility of a shorter plan.
Texas residents can use a site such as ShopEnergyRatesTexas.com to learn about their options and how to find the best energy supply company in their service area. How you define "the best" may be different than your neighbor's definition, so it's smart to consider the options you have and compare electricity companies on your terms.
The Public Utility Commission (PUC) in Texas helps regulate the electricity industry across the state. The PUC in Texas gives retail electric providers licenses and scores so consumers can see an unbiased rating of each company. Another resource from the PUC in Texas is PowerToChoose.org, a place for consumers to read about energy plans.
Having the power to choose your own energy provider makes it possible for consumers to find the best electricity supply rates and benefits for them. If Texas were its own nation, it would be the 11th largest energy market in the world. Its open market drives competition and can keep prices low. It also encourages companies to offer a variety of innovative plans that will be attractive to customers.
Should you choose green energy products?
When you have choices, you have the chance to look for companies that offer you green energy solutions and help the environment a little bit more. Green energy products add renewable energy to the grid using resources such as hydropower and wind power.
Don't be overwhelmed by your choices – when you educate yourself about the energy market, all the pieces will fall into place.

The key to safe database management is making regular backups. Depending on your data volume, number of MySQL servers, and database workload, you can use these techniques, alone or in combination: hot backup with MySQL Enterprise Backup; cold backup by copying files while the MySQL server is shut down; physical backup for fast operation (especially for restore); logical backup with mysqldump for smaller data volumes or to record the structure of schema objects.
The mysqlbackup command, part of the MySQL
Enterprise Backup component, lets you back up a running MySQL
instance, including
InnoDB and
MyISAM tables, with minimal disruption
to operations while producing a consistent snapshot of the database.
When mysqlbackup is copying
InnoDB tables, reads and writes to both
InnoDB and
MyISAM tables can
continue. During the copying of
MyISAM tables,
reads (but not writes) to those tables are permitted. MySQL
Enterprise Backup can also create compressed backup files, and back
up subsets of tables and databases. In conjunction with MySQL's
binary log, users can perform point-in-time recovery. MySQL
Enterprise Backup is part of the MySQL Enterprise subscription. For
more details, see Section 23.2, "MySQL Enterprise Backup Overview".
If you can shut down your MySQL server, you can make a binary backup
that consists of all files used by
InnoDB to
manage its tables. Use the following procedure:
Do a slow shutdown of the MySQL server and make sure that it stops without errors.
Copy all
InnoDB data files
ibdata files and
files) into a safe place.
Copy all the
.frm files for
InnoDB tables to a safe place.
Copy all
InnoDB log files
ib_logfile files) to a safe place.
Copy your
my.cnf configuration file or
files to a safe place.
In addition to making binary backups as just described, regularly
make dumps of your tables with mysqldump. A
binary file might be corrupted without you noticing it. Dumped
tables are stored into text files that are human-readable, so
spotting table corruption becomes easier. Also, because the format
is simpler, the chance for serious data corruption is smaller.
mysqldump also has a
--single-transaction option for
making a consistent snapshot without locking out other clients. See
Section 7.3.1, "Establishing a Backup Policy".
Replication works with
InnoDB tables,
so you can use MySQL replication capabilities to keep a copy of your
database at database sites requiring high availability.
To recover your
InnoDB database to the present
from the time at which the binary backup was made, you must run your
MySQL server with binary logging turned on, even before taking the
backup. To achieve point-in-time recovery after restoring a backup,
you can apply changes from the binary log that occurred after the
backup was made. See Section 7.5, "Point-in-Time (Incremental) Recovery Using the Binary Log".
To recover from a crash of your MySQL server, the only requirement
is to restart it.
InnoDB automatically checks the
logs and performs a roll-forward of the database to the present.
InnoDB automatically rolls back uncommitted
transactions that were present at the time of the crash. During
recovery, mysqld displays output something like
InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally. InnoDB: Starting recovery from log files... InnoDB: Starting log scan based on checkpoint at InnoDB: log sequence number 0 13674004 InnoDB: Doing recovery: scanned up to log sequence number 0 13739520 InnoDB: Doing recovery: scanned up to log sequence number 0 13805056 InnoDB: Doing recovery: scanned up to log sequence number 0 13870592 InnoDB: Doing recovery: scanned up to log sequence number 0 13936128 ... InnoDB: Doing recovery: scanned up to log sequence number 0 20555264 InnoDB: Doing recovery: scanned up to log sequence number 0 20620800 InnoDB: Doing recovery: scanned up to log sequence number 0 20664692 InnoDB: 1 uncommitted transaction(s) which must be rolled back InnoDB: Starting rollback of uncommitted transactions InnoDB: Rolling back trx no 16745 InnoDB: Rolling back of trx no 16745 completed InnoDB: Rollback of uncommitted transactions completed InnoDB: Starting an apply batch of log records to the database... InnoDB: Apply batch completed InnoDB: Started mysqld: ready for connections
If your database becomes corrupted or disk failure occurs, you must perform the recovery using a backup. In the case of corruption, first find a backup that is not corrupted. After restoring the base backup, do a point-in-time recovery from the binary log files using mysqlbinlog and mysql to restore the changes that occurred after the backup was made.
In some cases of database corruption, it is enough just to dump,
drop, and re-create one or a few corrupt tables. You can use the
CHECK TABLE SQL statement to check
whether a table is corrupt, although
TABLE naturally cannot detect every possible kind of
corruption. You can use the Tablespace Monitor to check the
integrity of the file space management inside the tablespace files.
In some cases, apparent database page corruption is actually due to
the operating system corrupting its own file cache, and the data on
disk may be okay. It is best first to try restarting your computer.
Doing so may eliminate errors that appeared to be database page
corruption. If MySQL still has trouble starting because of
InnoDB consistency problems, see
Section 184.108.40.206, "Forcing InnoDB Recovery" for steps to start the
instance in a diagnostic mode where you can dump the data.

A couple of weeks ago, I read an interesting article about Abercrombie & Fitch, the headline started: Abercrombie & Fitch dropping logos from clothes.
Now, I do not know about clothes, but I'd do know that the 'CC' signature looks damn good on Chanel. Even if they craft the CHANEL logo on it, I still find it as yummie as the freshest macaroon from Laduree.
Let me take you back to 22 May 2014, on that day we wrote a review with Lolli. Lolli just bought a brand-new Chanel bag and it was from the Spring Summer 2014 Collection. She took this bag as an alternative because Selfridge didn't had the Chanel CC Crave Flap Bag.
Her bag was named: the 'Chanel Metallic Symbols Flap Bag' and it was wildly printed with Chanel perfume bottles, Camellia and CC's all over the body. Gorgeous!
Now let us introduced you something different, we think you might love it. It's the Chanel (Metallic) Symbols Flap Bag with structured CC's on the left, CHANEL logo on the right and the bottom, a sophisticated love.
It's featured with a CC closure and interwoven chain links, the same you expect from the medium Classic Flap Bag. From as far as we know, it's available in red and black.
Now, we do not know its style code, but we can send you some other information. First it's available at Selfridges, secondly the size and price should be: 25 x 12 x 5.

To determine editorial policy for the ALSC journal Children and Libraries, subject to review by the ALSC Board. To suggest themes for forthcoming issues. To recommend resource people for articles and review. To review materials for publication upon request by the editor.
Want to see your name in print? Share your knowledge with thousands of colleagues nationwide?
ALSC's refereed journal, Children and Libraries, is soliciting manuscripts for its three 2011 issues. We'd love to feature practical advice, research theories, scholarly reviews, interview features and "best practice" articles from children's librarians (and others involved in the field) from across the nation.
Do you have a scholarly paper or research manuscript you'd like to have refereed and possibly published? Have you conducted research on a particular aspect of children's librarianship or library service? Has your library created/conducted any especially successful or noteworthy children's programs? Any topics of interest and import to children's librarians are welcome.
Please contact
Children and Libraries Editor Sharon Verbeten at email@example.com or 920-339-2740 for more information on how to submit articles for consideration.
Children and Libraries Writer's Guidelines
Children and Libraries: The Journal of the Association for Library Service to Children (CAL) is the official publication of the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC).
More detailed copy preparation information is available on the ALSC Web site at Media:http://www.ala.org/ala/alsc/alscpubs/childrenlib/childrenlibraries.htm]]or by contacting editor Sharon Verbeten at email@example.com.
Submission Information
Scholarly/Research Pieces We are a refereed publication, so scholarly/research-based manuscripts are submitted to a referee peer panel for blind review. • Submit manuscripts that are neither under consideration nor accepted elsewhere. • E-mail submission preferred via Microsoft Word format. • For information on formatting your manuscript, editorial style, guidelines for text and art, and copyright forms, contact the editor at the address below. • Pieces must include full citation information. For citations, use endnotes (humanities style) as described in the fourteenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style, section 15.
"Best Practices" Pieces CAL wants to hear about your library's successful (and even the not-so-successful) children's programs. There is something to learn from everyone's planning, preparation, funding and execution. • Submit a write-up (any length is fine) detailing your library's program. Include as much pertinent information as possible, including: o How the program was funded o How the program was marketed/promoted o Program attendance o Planning/preparation timeline and checklist of materials needed o Execution of and feedback on the program o Quotes and photos from those in attendance
The Last Word This end-page feature runs in each issue and highlights brief, light, or humorous essays from children's librarians, such as a humorous story about a library experience; a short trivia quiz or puzzle about children's literature; a brief, creatively-written insight on library service, children's literature, or programming; a very short question-and-answer interview with a popular author; a funny story about what kids are overheard saying in libraries. Word count is around 350-500 words.
Other Tips • Please note that all copy is subject to editing for space, grammar, clarity and other considerations. • Other short features are welcome; that could include author/illustrator interviews, stories/profiles on a notable librarian, features on award-winning events/programs, etc. We welcome anything of interest to CAL members and children's librarians. • CAL publishes three issues per year (spring, summer/fall and winter), and our issues deadline about six months prior to publication, so there is usually a fairly lengthy lag time between acceptance of an article and publication.

Brooks Banta has served nearly 16 years as Kent County Levy Court commissioner, but he said he still finds the job very rewarding, and he's especially proud of how the county has been able to responsibly balance its budget. And so, he's filed to run for a fifth term in the November election.
Brooks Banta has served nearly 16 years as Kent County Levy Court commissioner, but he said he still finds the job very rewarding, and he's especially proud of how the county has been able to responsibly balance its budget. And so, he's filed to run for a fifth term in the November election.
"I always enjoy being an advocate for the people," said Banta, who said he returns all phone calls. "It's important to me to be of service. People need to have someone ready to resolve their issues and answer their questions. I just try to help people. That's my motivation."
Banta said his duties, which include serving as the Levy Court president in addition to representing the citizens of the First District in northern Kent County, require an average of about 35 hours per week.
A major part of the responsibilities is finding ways to save money in a tight economy.
"It's important for people to know this administration reduced the budget from about $26 million in 2005-2006 to about $20 million in 2008-2009," said Banta.
The budget increased as the economy strengthened, but even this year, the county has actually cut expenses.
"The current budget that we are set to adopt in April of about $22 million is close to $500,000 less than last year's budget," he said.
However, that includes a proposed 2.2 percent cost-of-living increase for employees and retired workers.
How has the county done it when so many cities, counties, and states are struggling?
"Five years ago, we put a plan in place along with the county administrator for cost-containment measures," said Banta. "We watch every penny, every expenditure."
Among the changes:
• reducing the number of employees from about 320 to about 280, mainly through early retirement;
• requiring that county vehicles are returned to county property, instead of allowing workers to take vehicles home;
• attempting to leave every other light in the building off as part of an overall plan to cut energy consumption, which has resulted in about a 20 percent savings in electric costs;
• cross-training employees to work in other departments to increase efficiency, allowing workers to be assigned where the need is the greatest.
"We have a lean machine and that wouldn't be possible without great employees," said Banta.
Another county accomplishment that many people may not see was help for the Amish community.
"A major issue about two years ago was that the Department of Transportation would no longer print ID cards without a photo because of Homeland Security requirements, but a photo is against the beliefs of the Amish," said Banta. "We worked to get an Amish verification card with their name, address, height, weight, hair color, eye color, and fingerprint — but no photo. The Amish have been very happy with that. They can use the card as identification. They can cash checks using it."
Sports complex - Banta said the proposed county sports complex in Frederica is one of his priorities if re-elected. The county donated 80 acres for the facility.
"Beyond providing a place for sports events, it will bring so much to the economy. Restaurants, hotels, gas stations, and stores will benefit tremendously as moms, dads, and kids visit Kent County for these tournaments," he said. "One of the things we're waiting for is the governor to put his blessing on it, and hopefully that'll happen in the next 60 days."
Funds for volunteer fire companies - "For the first time since 1998, we're in the position to give volunteer fire and ambulance services an increase in funds," said Banta. "The proposal is for a 36 percent increase which is significant. That's great because I personally feel many residents don't realize our fire companies are volunteer. The volunteers do an amazing job."
Approval to handle more wastewater - "One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get increase the gallons per day that we can process at the wastewater treatment plant," said Banta. "With all the new developments, we need to increase capacity."
Kent County treats wastewater from towns and many unincorporated areas that are hooked into the county sewer system. The current capacity is about 13 million gallons per day, but Banta said the county is asking the state and federal government for 20 million gallons per day.
"We're hoping that will be approved," he said.
Keep expenses in check - "Out of about 3,300 counties in the nation we're the sixth most solvent," said Banta. "Many counties are in financial distress. This county, because of the county administrator and our employees, is in great shape financially, and we're very proud of that."
Banta said the county reduced taxes twice last year.
"We look forward to doing that in the next budget cycle," he said, "and we're going to continue to watch expenses very closely."

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Commodities trader and hip-hop promoter Tyrone Gilliams was arrested Wednesday on charges of running a $4 million investment scam, according to a criminal complaint filed by federal prosecutors in New York.Gilliams was the subject of a Reuters Special Report in May that detailed his activities and allegations against him by Ohio businessman, David Parlin, in a civil lawsuit. Known for promising his investors superior returns that might make Ponzi-king Bernard Madoff blush, Gilliams was arrested in Philadelphia and is charged with one count of wire fraud.
Federal authorities allege that Parlin, working through an intermediary, placed $4 million with Gilliams to be invested in U.S. Treasury Strips, a derivative tied to Treasury bonds. The complaint alleges that Gilliams "did, in fact, misappropriate at least $2 million of the $4 million" he received from Parlin.
The Reuters story in May said that Gilliams used some of Parlin's money to sponsor a glitzy black-tie charitable event in Philadelphia attended by rappers and local politicians. One of the guest attendees at the charitable event was hip-hop mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs.
Federal authorities began investigating Gilliams soon after the Reuters story was published, according to people familiar with the matter who declined to be identified. Gilliams, who has been representing himself in the civil lawsuit, could not be reached for a comment. He was expected to be arraigned later today in New York federal court.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Philadelphia office was also reported by the sources to be investigating Gilliams. Daniel Hawke, the administrator of the SEC's Philadelphia office, declined to comment. Agents with the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation are also looking into whether a California-based group of investors who invested $1 million with Gilliams may have been similarly scammed, according to two sources familiar with the matter. Louis Craco, the lawyer for Parlin, declined to comment on the arrest.
The FBI arrested Gilliams, who lives in a Philadelphia suburb, just days after he was scheduled to sit for a deposition in Parlin's civil lawsuit. The deposition was postponed. A charitable fund set up by Parlin invested $4 million with Gilliams on the recommendation of New York financier Vassilis Morfopoulos. In his lawsuit, Parlin also named Morfopoulos as a defendant. Federal authorities did not charge Morfopoulos with any wrongdoing.
His attorney, Christopher Chang, in a statement, said: "Morfopoulos will continue to do whatever is necessary to get David Parlin's money returned from Gilliams."
The investment scheme that Parlin invested in, on the surface, certainly seems to have been too good to be true. Parlin claims he was told he could expect to earn a return of 5 per cent a week.
In the complaint, an investigator with U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District says Gilliams has claimed in the civil lawsuit that he always intended to invest the $4 million from Parlin in a gold deal in the west African nation of Ghana. But the investigator says he has "neither seen nor been told anything that corroborates Gilliam's assertion." (Reported by Matthew Goldstein; editing by John Wallace and Claudia Parsons)

My Birchbox came while I was out of the country, so it was a welcome surprise to come home to a special delivery. I think it caught the attention of my neighbor, who picked up our mail for us. I told him he needs to order it up for his girlfriend! I thought I'd share with you the contents of my October Birchbox. This was an especially awesome month, I thought!
- Befine Lip Serum. An uber-hydrating, vitamin-rich lip serum to heel crackewd lips and smooth them out. The scent is an interesting combo of Chamomile & Beets, and this is the perfect prep for a deep fall lip color! I woke up to the softest lips imaginable after using this. The sample is a big one too, bet it will last awhile!
- blinc Mascara. I've used this before, and seeing it in my box reminded me how awesome it is. I like tubing mascaras (even though removing it makes me feel like all my lashes are falling out!), and this one is the original.
- Pangea Organics Japanese Matcha Tea Facial Mask. A purifying mask, loaded with antioxidants. I like this, and I'll get several uses from this tube!
- Orofluido Beauty Elixir. Perhaps my favorite item in the box! Hair oils excite me, and the amber/vanilla sent is phenom.
- Tea Forte Minteas. This was an extra, and the Lime Mojito flavor is delish. Reminds me of the Mojito Mint Orbit gum that I loved so much. A definite purse special:)
What did everyone get in their Birchboxes? Do tell!

ok, so you saying it was an original copo, but now has a ce block in it plus the fact that it is an automatic and you still think it sold for close to 100K?
I know COPO 's came with automatics,
Why wouldn't this be considered a recreation??? (if he has nothing to prove it otherwise)
IT is a COPO if they were realistic at all about the price it would have sold and the details would be known. I know from the person who offered it that 125k was turned down with out hesitation... they think it is worth 250k.

Linda K. Burton, 16th general president of the Relief Society, shared, "In the dedicatory prayer of the Kirtland Temple, the Prophet Joseph Smith used a phrase I have long loved. In Doctrine and Covenants 109:15 we read, 'And that they may grow up in thee.' What can we do to prepare our families to 'grow up in the Lord' in order that they and we might better claim the blessings associated with temple worship?
"I invite us all to put a higher priority on preparing ourselves and loved ones to worthily partake of sacred and eternal temple ordinances and blessings. May we accept the invitation written on the assembly hall of the abandoned Nauvoo Temple as the Saints headed west. It simply said,'The Lord has beheld our sacrifice: come after us.' I testify that no sacrifice will be too great to claim the blessings of eternity that await as we worthily worship in the temple, keep our covenants, and help others to 'grow up in the Lord.'"
Early Life
As a teenager, Sister Burton had a sudden realization during a missionary testimony meeting in Christchurch, New Zealand. "I knew the gospel was true," she recalled. "I was also aware I had always known."
It was one of several important lessons she learned after moving with her family from Salt Lake City to New Zealand, where her father presided over the New Zealand South Mission.
Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, Linda Kjar was the second of Marjorie C. and Morris A. Kjar's six children. She had a happy childhood and was raised in a home where the gospel of Jesus Christ was taught and where both parents served faithfully in the Church. But she never realized how deeply committed her parents were to keeping temple covenants until they moved their family across the globe to New Zealand. Linda was 13.
The family lived in Wellington, the southern-most tip of New Zealand's North Island, while Linda and her sisters lived and attended school at the Church College of New Zealand, located much further north. The dorms were filled with young women from across the Pacific whom they grew to love. The New Zealand Temple was easily seen from the dorm window and served as a source of peace when occasional homesickness set in for all of them.
Education and Marriage
As a student at the University of Utah, she met her future husband at a devotional in the Assembly Hall on Temple Square. The couple married August 7, 1973, in the Salt Lake Temple. Interestingly, their fathers had served together as young missionaries in western Canada.
Together they made the decision to follow the prophet's counsel and start their family right away; the first of their six children was born almost a year later.
She was grateful to be able to stay home with the children while her husband completed a business degree and made a career in real estate.
Things were not always easy. Just as the couple's fourth child was born and while Brother Burton was serving as a bishop, the U.S. economy collapsed and the real estate market fell apart. The prime rate went sky high. No one was buying. They went one year without an income.
"We lived off our food storage and got down to almost the last can of food," said Sister Burton.
The Burtons turned off their furnace and used a wood-burning stove to heat their home. In the spring, an inspired but unknowing ward member asked the couple if they would be interested in taking over a garden plot. "That was a gift to our family to have fresh produce," said Sister Burton. "We grew a huge garden that year and lived off that."
One day they came home and found a box of frozen meat sitting on their counter. To this day they don't know where the meat came from or how someone got into their house, which was locked. But "it was a blessing to us," said Sister Burton. "It was an assurance to us that Heavenly Father was aware of our needs and our efforts to be self-reliant." Then, when it seemed they couldn't make it any longer, "a wonderful job came. It was an answer to prayers."
Ultimately, Sister Burton said, the experience taught them to look to the future with confidence, "because we learned that if we do all we can and put our trust in Him, the Lord makes up the difference."
Highlights of Church Service
Sister Burton has served as a former member of the Primary and Relief Society general boards. She has also served as a seminary teacher and has had various callings in Primary, Young Women, Sunday School, and Relief Society. She accompanied her husband while he served as president of the Korea Seoul West Mission from 2007 to 2010 and, as mentioned earlier, accompanied her family when her father served as president of the New Zealand South Mission.

While Project Arbiter starts off as an action-heavy espionage short, it becomes more intriguing as its protagonist has to confront the origins of his technological superpowers and what he's willing to do to keep them.

Toward an artificial pancreas: Math modeling and diabetes control
October 4, 2012—Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease in which individuals exhibit high levels of sugar in the blood, either due to insufficient production of insulin—the hormone that allows glucose to be absorbed by body cells—or the body's lack of response to insulin. Type 1 diabetes occurs due to loss or dysfunction of β-cells of the pancreas, the organ that produces insulin. Type 2 diabetes is caused by a defective glucose-insulin regulatory system. The most common control for diabetes is by subcutaneous injection of insulin analogues through insulin pumps.
In a paper published today in the SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, authors Mingzhan Huang, Jiaxu Li, Xinyu Song, and Hongjian Guo propose novel mathematical models for injection of insulin in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The models simulate injections of insulin in the manner of insulin pumps, which deliver periodic impulses in diabetes patients.
Management of diabetes by insulin pumps usually follows an open-loop approach in which blood glucose can be periodically monitored by an individual using a glucose meter, and then adjusted by either eating a carbohydrate in cases of low blood glucose or administering a dose of insulin in cases of high blood sugar. While this is important to ensure that diabetes patients have sufficient insulin, it carries the risk of hypoglycemia, which is caused by excess insulin leading to excessive glucose absorption, resulting in low blood sugar. In addition, this approach requires diabetics to follow stringent regimens with regard to diet and insulin injections.
Research is now focused on a closed-loop approach, where a medical device will provide automatic glucose-responsive insulin administration. Closed-loop systems achieve this by real-time feedback between glucose levels and insulin delivery, approximating the endocrine functionality of a healthy pancreas, hence, also called the artificial pancreas. Early clinical trials of the artificial pancreas have shown positive results. This type of system will greatly improve the lifestyles of diabetes patients, obviating the need for manual injections, and making diet control slightly less stringent. The key factor here is the control algorithm, which manages insulin delivery based on glucose levels while accounting for measurement errors and kinetic delays. However, development of an artificial pancreas is impeded due to lack of reliable predictive models and methods for accurate glucose monitoring, in addition to inefficient control algorithms.
In this paper, differential equation models are used to simulate injections of insulin in both open and closed-loop systems. Algorithms are carefully designed to determine the time and dose of injections based on physiology and metabolism of insulin secretion, designed to prevent episodes of hyper and hypoglycemia. The models are then qualitatively and numerically assessed by injections of insulin analogues in the environment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
The open loop model incorporates uniform injection of insulin at periodic intervals, where the frequency and dose of injection are chosen based on set parameters. "In open-loop control, the model analysis reveals that a smaller dose with higher delivery frequency is more effective, which confirms that continuous subcutaneous insulin injection (CSII), which is currently used clinically, is efficient," explains senior author Hongjian Guo.
The closed-loop model proposes injection of insulin when blood glucose level passes a certain threshold value using automatic feedback from a glucose monitoring system. "The model analysis for closed-loop control asserts that a larger dose is preferred with a careful consideration toward avoiding hypoglycemic episodes," Guo says. This is helpful in cases where patients may retain some ability to secrete small amounts of insulin; excessive insulin delivery would be prevented here as signaled by low glucose levels.
The paper thus demonstrates that insulin delivery can be modeled based on both periodic (open loop) and state-dependent (closed loop) impulses.
"Efficient and effective algorithms could be developed based on this model and embedded in the closed-loop control of artificial pancreas, which determine the dose and the timing for insulin delivery," says Guo. "Validation is extremely important in the design of an artificial pancreas. [Software] for validating the designs could be developed based on these models with an appropriate simulation of glucose input functions."
Future work involves achieving greater sensitivity by factoring specific aspects of body physiology into the artificial pancreas software, and using patient statistics to fine-tune parameters used in its algorithm. "We continue to improve the models by incorporating physiological time delays and mechanical delays in the system, and estimating model parameters with competent statistical methods."

By dead reckoning, an iPhone and a nearly 3-year-old guide dog, Trevor Thomas is making his way across North Carolina as the first blind person to solo self-navigate the Mountains-to-Sea Trail.
By dead reckoning, an iPhone and a nearly 3-year-old guide dog, Trevor Thomas is making his way across North Carolina as the first blind person to solo self-navigate the Mountains-to-Sea Trail.
Thomas was hiking through the heat of Pamlico County Wednesday with Tennille, his black lab guide dog. He hiked through New Bern and Bridgeton Tuesday.
The hike along the 1,000-mile trail is to bring awareness of the abilities that blind people have and to raise money for Guide Dogs for the Blind, which can make a big difference in a blind person�s life and where he got Tennille.
Thomas, 44, lost his sight because of a rare eye disease when he was 35. He began hiking after he went blind and has been doing it professionally along with motivational speaking for the past five years. In 2005, 15 months after he become blind, he hiked the Appalachian Trail.
But on April 6, Thomas started on the MST Trail from Clingmans Dome in the Smoky Mountains in the snow. The following 45 days, it rained every day, he said.
�I kept hiking along,� he said �It was cold longer than it should have been. One day, I was shivering while having lunch, and then a day later, it was 85 degrees and scorching hot.�
The weather suddenly turned hot as Thomas reached the Greensboro watershed area, he said.
�Then we got hit by the remnants of the tropical storm (Andrea) a few days ago,� he said. �That was a lot of fun.�
At night, Thomas and Tennille camp in the yards of friends who are called �trail angel friends� because they support people hiking the MST Trail. He also stays at campgrounds and occasionally hotels. But he�d rather camp, he said.
�I�ve stayed in just about every North Carolina park there is,� he said. �Parks departments are wonderful to me.�
Everything he needs to survive is on his back, including Tennille�s dog food. The full 52-pound pack includes water and dehydrated meals. He averages hiking about 18 miles per day.
Thomas said if he gets good weather, he should end his trek in Jockey�s Ridge on the Outer Banks in about 10 days.
�Anything can happen,� he said. �The heat can slow us down or maybe a hurricane will come.�
A hurricane is about the only thing he hasn�t run into yet, Thomas said with a laugh.
Every day, Thomas encounters obstacles navigating the trail. In the mountains, the trail was not well marked, which caused him to spend longer than necessary at some intersections to figure out the right way to do.
The roads and interstates also have been challenging, he said.
�I have to really pay attention to what they are doing and what we are doing,� Thomas said.
Thomas doesn�t use GPS and relies on old school navigation. By knowing his cadence and by keeping track of time, he can figure out the distance to his next maker. He uses emails sent from a supporter who downloads the MST trail from a guide book to give him directions. Also Tennille finds signs for him, he said.
�It�s a team effort,� Thomas said.
People who have met Thomas and Tennille along the trail have all been supportive, Thomas said.
�Once they get over the shock,� he said. �Whenever I�ve hiked, people I have met in all the towns I�ve been in are just phenomenal, supportive and generous. I couldn�t be more pleased.�
Thomas said people used to shout support from their cars while passing. But after all the publicity of the hike, they are now asking about Tennille, he said.
�They want to know how Tennille is doing,� Thomas said. �I�m kind of forgotten.�
Thomas said it was not hard for people to recognize him as the blind hiker.
�We stick out like a sore thumb,� he said. �You don�t see too many people walking down the side of the road with a backpack holding a harness on a guide dog.�
It has been a challenging trek, but one with many benefits, Thomas said.
�This is probably the most rewarding long trail I have done so far,� he said. �It has given me an opportunity to challenge myself and my abilities and the abilities of my guide. It also is proving to people who have misconceptions about blind people that they are simply incorrect.�
Thomas said hopefully he was also helping people by raising money for Guide Dogs for the Blind.
Jeff Judin, who is following Thomas and documenting his hike across the state, said he was in awe of what he has accomplished.
�This is one story that really needs to be told,� Judin said. �Trevor has overcome so many obstacles. The more people see and understand the challenges he has overcome, the better it is for them. It is amazing that along the way people would stop and talk to him and get so inspired.�
Thomas has a way of explaining blindness and being comfortable with it and doesn�t see it as a disability, Judin said.
�Since I met him, I have learned how to deal with issues,� Judin said. �He overcame them through sensors developing information I guess we all have but don�t know how to use. I would take directions from him before any traffic cop.�
Judin said he was also in awe of Thomas� attitude toward life.
�He is a shining example of a human being with a spirit that can�t be beat,� Judin said.
Thomas, who is being sponsored by Thorlo, a sock manufacturer in Statesville, said if anyone wishes to donate to Guide Dogs for the Blind, they could go to www.blindhikertrevorthomas.com. People can also follow his progress on the website.
