The Journey Begins
In 1995, Nordic Naturals' journey began with a small offering of premium omega oils sold to medical practitioners. Since this was the only way to order Nordic Naturals products, we also offered them to a select number of discerning health food stores. In 2002, as word spread about the high quality and efficacy of its products, the company launched its retail line to answer growing demand by natural health retailers. This brought Nordic Naturals' industry-leading fish oils to customers at health food stores, vitamin stores, and sports nutrition stores worldwide and helped the company become the recognized brand that it is today.
Large Product Portfolio
As part of Nordic Naturals' mission to correct the global omega-3 deficiency, the company now distributes to more than 35 countries and offers more than 200 products in a variety of flavors and formulations for adults, kids, athletes and pets across its retail and professional lines. All products are third-party tested for purity and freshness. Certificates of analysis are available upon request.
Exceptional Freshness from Boat to Bottle
Foundational to the company's success, and to the exceptional freshness, stability and efficacy of its products, is Nordic Naturals' unique boat-to-bottle vertical integration. The company begins its manufacturing process with the end in mind, carefully managing every step in order to deliver the highest quality fish oil.
Green Manufacturing
All of Nordic Naturals' omega oils are processed at its state-of-the-art, green manufacturing plant in Tromsø, Norway, above the Arctic Circle. Plant features include:
• Largest investment in biotechnology in Arctic Norway
• Reuses waste energy to produce biodiesel and hydropower
• Provides surplus energy to neighboring businesses
• Wastewater cleaned before returning to the ocean
• Uses 20-30 percent less raw material
• cGMP (current good manufacturing practice)-certified and allergen free
Backed by Research
To meet its longstanding commitment to deliver the world's safest, most effective omega oils, Nordic Naturals has always been a research-driven company, with processing technology and product formulations driven by the latest developments in clinical research. Leading research institutions such as Stanford, UCLA, Indiana University, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have chosen Nordic Naturals for their clinical studies. To date, more than 30 original studies using Nordic Naturals products have been published, and more than 30 are in progress.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Nordic Naturals recognizes that our presence is felt from the oceans where it sources its fish, to the communities in which the company processes and distributes its products. Nordic Naturals takes steps to proactively improve the quality of life of its employees, their families, its customers and to preserve the health of the environment and society at large.
Award-Winning Excellence
Nordic Naturals products have won more than 40 awards for taste, product quality and brand excellence, and many of these have recognized its best-selling omega-3s like classic Arctic Cod Liver Oil™ and concentrated Ultimate Omega®. The company's Gold Standard Arctic Cod Liver Oil has always been derived from 100 percent wild Arctic cod—no other fish oils or synthetic additives are ever used. It comes in a variety of natural fruit-flavored soft gel and liquid formulations, and with added vitamin D3 for increased nutritional support.
Potency, Absorption
Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega family of products includes its signature omega-3 concentrate—the No. 1 omega-3 in the U.S.—Ultimate Omega, along with variations of this popular formula that offer extra-high potency, added nutrients, smaller soft gels and more. Ultimate Omega is clinically shown to support a healthy heart, and offers better bioavailability than other comparable products on the market, including salmon oil, ethyl ester concentrates and krill oil. Like all Nordic Naturals omega oils, Ultimate Omega is manufactured in the triglyceride molecular form for optimal absorption and results.
Something for Everyone
One of Nordic Naturals' newest products reflects its commitment to offer a wide variety of products in order to meet personalized nutritional needs. Omega Boost™ is a creamy, mango-flavored formulation. Each delicious spoonful contains 525 mg of omega-3s. It's a great option for customers looking for one product for the entire family.
Retailer Support
Nordic Naturals supports retailers in a variety of ways, including:
• Free and convenient staff training in a fun, interactive, online format
• Educational webinars and in-store and dinner trainings
• In-store demonstrations
• Support for health fairs and storesponsored events
• Cooperative advertising opportunities
• Professionally designed sales displays and collateral materials

Dear Mr. Lovgren:
Thank you for your letter of March 12, inviting the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to participate in the development of increasing safety use of cranes.
We, in OSHA, wholeheartedly endorse the aims of your Subcommittee in standardizing the use, operation and maintenance of cranes and related equipment because we strongly believe that it will enhance the safety of those employees who work with and around such equipment.
Unfortunately, because of limited resources, OSHA cannot actively participate in this activity at the international level. We would, however, be willing to provide some limited assistance here in the United States of America.
If this limited assistance would be helpful, we would be happy to discuss this matter further with you. Thank you for your very obvious interest in occupational safety and health.

Updated Oct. 14, 2011 at 5:14 a.m.
Streaks abound as Cuero and Yoakum prepare to play for the 101st time.
Cuero has won 42 consecutive district games and nine straight over its DeWitt County rival.
But the most important streak on the line when Cuero (2-4, 2-0) and Yoakum (4-3, 1-2) meet in a District 28-3A game Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Yoakum's Bulldog Stadium is the chance to advance to postseason play.
A win would put the Gobblers one step closer to their 10th straight playoff appearance. The Bulldogs need a win to avoid missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
"As I told the kids, our playoffs start Friday night," said Yoakum coach Brent Kornegay. "They're aware of it and understand the situation."
District losses to Gonzales and La Vernia have put the Bulldogs in a virtual must-win situation in games against Cuero, Poteet and San Antonio Sam Houston.
"Coach Kornegay wanted us to get our legs back under us and we were just going to go in shorts one day and one kid made the comment that we don't need to go in half-pads we need to work as hard as we can to make the playoffs," said senior Brice Lauer. "I agree with him too. It's tough when you go in and work so hard to try and win and make the playoffs and you just fall short."
Cuero is coming off a bye week. The Gobblers won their first two district games after starting the season with four losses.
"We just stepped it up better and our captains are leading better as the season has gone on," said senior Vann Davis. "We've just had to go hard through practice everyday to get better and better and try and push forward."
Wins over Yoakum and Poteet would put the Gobblers in position to claim a playoff berth as it concludes district play against Sam Houston and Gonzales.
"This isn't the game, it's one of the games," said Cuero coach Rick Owens. "We made it a point not to go watch the Gonzales-Sam Houston game. I don't like to watch film of opponents ahead of the week we're playing them. We want our kids to stay focused on who we're playing and this week it's easy."
The rivalry has tilted Cuero's way since Yoakum won in 2000 and 2001, but it remains important to the participants.
"This is the game I've been waiting for since sixth grade," Lauer said. "This is what you look forward to is Cuero and Yoakum. Game of the year. Probably the game of my life."
Kornegay has been impressed by the size of Cuero's offensive line and its depth at running back.
"I think we need to tackle, that's the main thing," he said. "We can't get driven off the ball. We've got to stay low and create piles and get people to the football."
Owens is concerned about playing at Bulldog Stadium. The Gobblers had to rally to pull out a 26-23 win when the teams played in Yoakum in 2009.
"They've played well at home," he said. "I'm sure they'll pull out all the stops. I'm sure they'll have great emotion. I think a big key for us is to take the momentum right off the bat."
Yoakum lost the momentum it gained in a win over Pleasanton by losing to La Vernia last week and the Bulldogs are desperate to get it back.
"This is our playoff game," Lauer said. "This is it. We've got to do the best we can this week so we can come out with a win and keep playing after the season's over."
Cuero has the same thought despite a difficult start.
"We're just trying to see the big picture," said senior A.J. Bustos. "Usually we have so much more talent. This year everybody's been working their butts off to get better."

I have been struggling to stay Gluten free for a couple of years now. I go very long periods of time without gluten and then I indulge and I regret it each time. My reaction is not a severe as vomiting. It includes - hives that are itchy and make me look like I am a teenager with acne again, migraines, bloating, constipation, lots of mucus, mood swings. As you all know...it's not pleasant. I have noticed the main reason I fall off the gluten free wagon is a result of falling into a food rut. I am looking for recipes that can be frozen, or are relatively easy to prepare. As a single working mom of 2 (12 and 14) it's difficult to find the time necessary to make meals from scratch every night so finding ones to make on weekends and freeze or recipes for the crock pot are essential. I did get off the topic and I find the best way to recover from being glutened is lots of water, green tea, probiotics, ginger (great to heal the intestines) and Epsom salt baths. Have a good day everyone.

When I get gluttened (depending on the amount) I have either the Big D alone or with throwing up for a few days. I feel tired for about a week and very very very angry. The last time I got gluttened, I even got a rash. The only thing that I can suggest is to eat very plain. I like to boil potatoes down to a soup consistency (No added fat and with just a bit of salt and black pepper) and eat it with glutten free cornbread.

I just went back to GF lifestyle, I did it for 3 weeks at a time in both nov & dec and decided that when I do eat gluten, I am more tired and my fingers and wrists hurt more. I just had a friend from work email me the other day saying her RA is worse than ever and she is going to eat a GF diet, so she was asking me questions. I don't mind the GF stuff anymore, it tastes way better than it used to. I am also cooking at home instead of eating out, saving me more money and not having to worry about my food being GF or not.
2snowcranes - are you having more tests done to find out if you are bleeding internally, I had both the colonoscopy & the upper endoscopy done and then I also had to swallow a camera and make sure I wasn't bleeding internally in the midsection where the other two scopes don't reach. good luck, hope you are not.
It never gets easier, you just get better.

I just got back from my doctor and found out some really weird information. I am a regular blood donor and when they check my hemoglobin for giving blood it's always been high. The hemoglobin levels are supposed to be between 125 to 145 and mine is 152. When I give blood I can have nausea, dizziness, passout or in the few days following I have trouble with feeling very tired,cold and some really nasty symptoms. I also have noticing my hair beginning to thin and my nails either brittle or thin. I talked to my doctor and she sent me for a blood test. The blood test checked the levels of iron in reserve in the liver, spleen or Marrow and not the iron that is in the blood itself. The ironing reserves are supposed to be between 20 and 200 and mine was 19,before I donated blood. Hate to think of what it was afterwards.
My doctor thinks that because of the irritable bowel syndrome and the gluten sensitivity I have I may be bleeding internally. This certainly shows the danger of not addressing gluten insensitivity

I get very severe migraines and am extremely lethargic for 2-3 days after. I have taken to keeping an emergency bottle of Excedrin everywhere (apartment, purse, car, best friend's house, etc.) which was a measure from the pre-diagnosis days that I have carried over for emergencies. I also drink a TON of hot green tea and water. I had never heard of the BRAT diet before reading this, but its funny because I often feel only in the mood for rice or Udi's toast when I've been glutened, and now I feel justified in eating it! It also helps if you can anticipate it. For example, if I realized I've eaten gluten at a certain meal, I can usually count on my headache to start about 12 hours later (so I go ahead and take Excedrin around that time even if it hasn't started yet) and my lethargy usually hots the next morning when its nearly impossible to get out of bed. Knowing doesn't really make it any easier, but at least you won't be caught off guard!

Hi HISLILBRAT -
Sorry to hear you are feeling terrible! I've been there! When I eat gluten, even in tiny (I assume) amounts, I get terrible nausea, fever, exhaustion, and a very unhappy gut (loose stools for a few days). All these symptoms can last a week.
What I have done when I've accidentally eaten something with gluten is:
1) drink a daily green drink or two with lots of lettuce/parsley/carrot and any fruit that makes it taste good (the fiber will help push the offending food out quicker, and I believe the nutrients HAVE to help my body heal)
2) take marshmallow root (it helps the gut heal)
For years I would follow the BR portion of the BRAT diet (bananas, white rice) when I felt ill from hidden gluten. However, I honestly think the green drinks and marshmallow root got me back on my feet quicker.
As for how to avoid the gluten, some questions... Did you eat out when you got ill? I'd avoid that restaurant in the future. Even restaurants with "good" reputations can make us ill. Or, did you use a prepared food? Check the ingredients list. Some hidden items to look for might be modified food starch (usually from wheat unless it says another specific source), barley, barley malt, soy sauce. Did you eat food prepared for you by a friend or acquaintance? Could their "safe" food have been cross-contaminated in a non-GF kitchen?
Hope this helps! I wish you speedy healing!!

I'm a new member, looking for others who suffer from gluten intolerance, and who would like to lose some weight. I saw that someone had posted a list of things they do to lessen the effect when they've accidentally (or not so accidentally) ingested some gluten. Please, share MORE!! I know there must be a way to block or reduce symptoms.
When I eat gluten I; get migraines, become very bloated, constipated, I have horrible joint and muscle pain, restless leg syndrome, anxiety, extreme PMS, sore breasts, lethargy, foul taste in my mouth, declined quality of hearing (I have moderately severe hearing loss), stuffy nose, increased snoring. more I may not be thinking of right now :)

When I realize I have been glutened I first begin serious flushing of system with water or dilute peppermint or ginger tea or 7-up. I take Benadryl if I don't have to be driving --definitely take some at bedtime for two or three nights to slow down the histamine response. A few tums every few hours eases pain and bloating. And I immediately cut back to brat diet - Banana, plain rice, applesauce, and toast - I keep Udie's on hand in the freezer for this need since I don't eat much bread routinely. I also add in lightly scrambled eggs or other quality protein like chicken breast.
Then gggressively search for what brought this attack on and do not repeat. Practice how to word your talk to other family members, future hostesses, resturant people etc.
Keep working at it - our health is worth it.

I don't react to small amounts (as far as I can tell), but if I eat a sandwich or pizza for example, I get bloated, feel heavy and get really sleepy.

Vigilance, vigilance, vigilance - read labels - again. Eating out is a gamble, I've found a few places that appear to really work at the GF experience and those are the ones I patronize.
When I've been glutened, I get Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and hemorrhoids. I was treated for it for several years until it cleared up after being GF for several weeks/months. No gluten is far better than all those meds. That is all that happens to me.
Do you have a list of OTC meds that have gluten?
Hang in there - it does get better.

When I am glutened nothing generally happens. I may or may not have the big D. Very seldom do I get somach pains. Sometimes I might feel achy and if that happens I just take a Tylenol. .
One has to always check and recheck labels. Many time I have bought something that was GF and then I look months later and they now have trace amounts.

I am sure as you first started your trek into gluten free you were doing well and whammo- glutened! well this is the second time it has happened to me - and I have to say...OUCH! I have been gluten free since July and 2 times now when I have accidentally ingested gluten I have had stomach cramps, bloating, constipation, nausea, joint aches - and on the bright side it reminds me of why I don't eat gluten now...but on the down side it makes it really difficult for 3-4 days to do the simple things in life....so what a few questions
1) What happens to you when you are glutened?
2) some tips from you wiser less new to the lifestyle to avoid being glutened

Elder Lavos Spawn is a boss that appears in Chrono Trigger in the Black Omen. As its name implies, it is a spawn of Lavos. This Lavos Spawn acts in a much similar fashion as the ones met on Death Peak, but is stronger, and has over double the amount of HP they had. Unlike the Lavos Spawns on Death Peak, this Lavos Spawn has an item that can be aquired with Charm, a Guardian Helm. Charming the Head will award the player with a Haste Helm. Both pieces of equipment can be charmed in the same battle.

SOUTH African born business owner Don Bryden will be looking to perform a feat of super human strength next month to raise money for charity.
Don, 44, who owns Aligra Personnel, is aiming to pull an 8.5 tonne truck next month in a bid to raise money to help protect rhinos in Africa from being poached for their horns.
Now living in Stratton, he is looking to help battle the growing problem.
He said: "My family in South Africa do a lot of work with rhinos. There is a private game reserve called Kwandwe which has so far not been touched by poachers.
"It is protected by ex-special service but they do so on a voluntary basis so I thought why not do something to help over here.
"I wanted to do something crazy and because we work in logistics I one day decided to pull a truck.
"My wife says I am going through a mid-life crisis but instead of buying a sports car I'm doing this."
He has enlisted the help of former England's Strongest Man winner Laurence Shahlaei and has been training hard ahead of the big day on August 23 at the Groundwell Industrial Estate.
As well as pulling the truck there will be a host of other activities for the family, including music.
Don said: "While it is for a good cause I want everyone to have fun. I am aiming to pull the truck about 20 metres but if I feel I can go further then I will.
"I started training back in November and have been building up. I am feeling confident and looking forward to it.
"Laurence has been training, as well as Manjit Singh from Absolutely Fit, and it's been going really well. They say my biggest weakness is that I'm too keen and training too often."
As well as raising money, Don wants to raise awareness of rhino poaching.
Along with his wife and daughter he has set up a charitable trust called Bryden Endangered Species Trust to collect funds.
"There is currently a problem on a massive scale," said Don.
"Last year more than 1,000 rhinos were killed for their horn and this year is on target to be even higher than that. The horn has absolutely no medicinal qualities but in Vietnam and Asia there are lots of myths so demand is high.
"One horn can fetch up to US$360,000 so you can see why people do it.
"Some of the methods though are terrible. In some cases they cripple the animal, cut the horn off and then leave the animal to die slowly.
"I have seen quite a few things but this always gets to me. I know we can't change the world here but hopefully we can make a difference."

Tsujia, Masaharu and Matsumoto, Kisei and Jiang, Peng and Matsuo, Ryoichi and Tang, Xin-Lin and Kamarudin, Khairul Sozana Nor (2008) Roles of Pt seeds and chloride anions in the preparation of silver nanorods and nanowires by microwave-polyol method. Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects , 316 (1-3). 266 -277. ISSN 0927-7757
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.colsurfa.2007.09.014
Silver (Ag) nanomaterials with well-defined crystal structures have been rapidly synthesized in three minutes by a microwave (MW)-polyol method. Various precursors such as H2PtCl6 and Pt(acac)2 have been used to detect real roles of Pt seeds and anions for the formation of the Ag nanomaterials. Furthermore, effect of Cl- anions to final morphologies of the Ag nanostructures has also been explored by pre-adding Cl- precursor such as NaCl or KCl in the ethylene glycol (EG) solutions only including AgNO3 and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). The experimental results show that pre-formed metallic Pt seeds are probably not responsible for nucleation and subsequent evolution of 1D Ag products, but Cl- ions indeed influence the formation of the 1D Ag nanostructures as well as perfect crystallization of other Ag nanoparticles with well-defined crystal structures including single- and twinned-FCC crystals. It has been further evidenced that the presence of Cl- ions can accelerate re-dissolution of formed spherical Ag particles and is favorable to the growth of the 1D Ag and other Ag nanostructures with well-defined crystal structures such as single-crystal cubes and twinned bi-pyramids in the MW-assisted polyol reduction process. At the same time, it also indicates that H2PtCl6 probably does not act as a nucleation agent for the 1D Ag products but as a precursor of Cl- ions to affect final morphologies of the Ag products. Possible factors affecting shape-selected process of the Ag nanostructures have been discussed in detail.

BRIDGEPORT -- In what's being called a historic move, Bridgeport Hospital plans to relocate its 130-year-old school of nursing to the University of Bridgeport within the next two years.
Monday morning, UB President Neil Albert Salonen and Bridgeport Hospital President and CEO William Jennings signed an agreement that paves the way for UB to completely take over the nursing program.
Not only is the move expected to bolster UB's health care offerings, but hospital officials said the change will also provide aspiring nurses with better academic training.
"This is a really historic day," Salonen said. "UB has a long commitment to health care and health care issues."
From the 1950s to 1991, UB had a school of nursing, but the program closed, Salonen said, because "the market at the time was probably not strong enough to support it."
More Information
Opened in 1884, making it the longest-operating nursing school in Connecticut.
There are about 200 students at the school, and more than 20 faculty members (who will be moved to UB once the program is fully integrated).
Tuition for the two-year diploma program is about $19,000.
The school still has a number of health-related programs, including the Fones School of Dental Hygiene and the physician assistant program. Bringing back a nursing school, Salonen said, was seen as a smart move in today's health care climate.
"It's obvious to us that, as the population continues to grow and age, the health care need is going to expand," he said.
There are still multiple steps needed for the integration to be complete, including approval from various accreditation agencies. But both Jennings and Salonen are confident the change will move forward.
The UB school will offer a four-year baccalaureate degree in nursing.
Bridgeport Hospital's school only offers a two-year diploma program. Jennings said there has been a move on the national level to increase education for nurses and raise the percentage of nurses with a four-year degree.
According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, research shows that nurses with baccalaureate degrees tend to have better patient outcomes. To that end, the Institute of Medicine 2010 "Future of Nursing" report has recommended that the percentage of nurses entering the workforce with four-year degrees increase from 50 percent to 80 percent by 2020.
St. Vincent's College, affiliated with St. Vincent's Medical Center in Bridgeport, offers an online baccalaureate program to students who have completed their associate's degree.
Jennings said Bridgeport Hospital has been looking for a way to offer a four-year nursing program, and the partnership with UB was seen as the best option.
"It's very nice to find a partner in our town and in our ZIP code that shares our vision," he said.
Though academic training will take place at UB once the integration is complete, Jennings said the UB nursing students will receive their clinical training through Bridgeport Hospital.
Until the integration is complete, the agreement signed Monday also allows UB students priority admission to the hospital's nursing school.
Bridgeport Hospital's nursing school opened in 1884, making it the longest-operating nursing school in Connecticut. There are about 200 students at the school, and more than 20 faculty members (who will be moved to UB's school once the program is fully integrated). The tuition cost for the two-year diploma program is about $19,000.Read Full Article
During Monday's announcement, MaryEllen Kosturko, Bridgeport Hospital's chief nursing officer, said the change was bittersweet, but necessary.
"I'm very, very proud of the nursing school," Kosturko said. "At the same time, we recognize that the time is right for a four-year degree."

MotoGP Motorcycle Sale 2011Back to lot listing
1959 BSA A10 Road Rocket
Lot No.: 87
Registration: 551XUF
Frame Number: FA71228
Side Car: No
Engine Number: CA10R7677
Number of cylinders: 2
Year of Manufacture: 1959
Sold for (£): Result to follow
In October 1949 BSA announced the A10 Golden Flash. It was essentially a bored and stroked version of the earlier A7 but with revised cylinder head castings, rocker box and cast-in carburettor manifold. With its overhead valve 650cc twin, the Golden Flash was capable of a mind blowing 105mph. However, in 1954 the even more sporting A10 Road Rocket appeared and with an alloy cylinder head, high compression pistons and a high lift camshaft, produced 40 bhp with a top speed of 109 mph.
551XUF was first registered in 1959, manufactured in 1958, and has been restored within the last ten years. Having covered only 416 miles since completion of the rebuild, this Road Rocket is still presented in fine condition. New rims have just been fitted and a new MoT test certificate will accompany the bike. Regarded by BSA owners as an extremely useable model with excellent performance and spare availability, a Road Rocket would not only make an ideal future investment but would undoubtedly satisfy any biker looking to expand his or her collection.

Grants and scholarships are highly sought-after, because they don't have to be repaid. Grants are often need-based, while scholarships are usually merit-based. The US Department of Education offers a variety of federal grants, such as Federal Pell Grants and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG grants). However, there are some cases in which you may have to repay certain grants. For example, if you withdrew early from the program for which the grant was given to you, or if your enrollment status changed in a way that reduced your eligibility for a given grant.
There are thousands of scholarships, from all kinds of organizations, and they're not hard apply for online. You may find that you're eligible for an academic scholarship if you're an outstanding student, or an athletic scholarship if you stand out on the playing field. Digging deeper, there are niche scholarships awarded for a variety or reasons, such as because your parents work for a particular company, or you are a member of a civic organization such as the Rotary Club. Beyond degree requirements such as Tarleton State University academic scholarships, you may consider Berkshire Community College short courses for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Hi Everyone!
Hope you're all well. A few weeks ago I requested a sample for the L'Oreal Nude Magique BB cream, and when it finally came they had also included their new Lumi Magique foundation in the colour N4 Pure Beige.
This is not a full review, just my first impressions, and very soon I will be doing the same for their BB cream.
So it came in a little sachet with 10ml of product in it which I managed to get two full face applications out of.
As you can see it is too dark for me, but once blended into my hand it gives good coverage and a natural finish. The product isn't thick but it's not runny, it's a perfect consistency for me.
So top picture is my cheek with only moisturiser on, and the bottom picture is with one layer of the foundation. Although it is too dark for me, it has evened out my skin really well and given it a healthy look. I would say the coverage is medium but buildable, however it looks natural and is quite lightweight.
I used my Real Techniques stippling brush to apply it and I found it really easy to blend into the skin.
I didn't keep it on my skin as it was clearly too dark so I don't know how well it lasts or if it breaks me out.
The second application I actually did on my mum. The colour match was almost perfect and made her skin look healthy and glowy.
I used her Clinique foundation brush to apply it and again it was really easy to blend.
My mum has normal/combination skin and it lasted about 6 hours with the Smashbox Photo Finish primer, however she didn't have it on all day so it may have lasted longer.
It terms of what skin type I think it would be good for, I would say maybe normal but if you have dry patches or an oily t-zone I still think it would be fine as it wasn't overly dewy but it wasn't at all matte. The finish reminds me off the Mac Pro longwear foundation, however I think this does give your skin a slight more glow.
Overall I'm actually really impressed with this foundation and I may even consider purchasing it in the future in the lighter shade.
My mum also really liked it and is thinking about purchasing it too.
So that's it for my first impressions of this foundation, please let me know if you have tried it and if so what you think of it.
Thank you so much for reading and don't forget to follow as it would make my day!

Brevard (NC) – A 14-year-old boy was knocked unconscious and sent to the hospital as a result of trying to cool off his Xbox 360 over the weekend.According to a local news report, the teen's console would repeatedly shut off every five minutes. His mother told reporters that he thought the problem was likely linked to overheating. He reportedly tried to fix it on his own based on tips he found online.
"When I left to go next door he was playing a game but when I got back he was laying on his back on the floor and unconscious," said the boy's mother.
Local media reports suggest that the teenager took the power supply, wrapped it in plastic and tape, and submerged it into a bowl of water while it was still plugged in. This caused an electrical shock and knocked the boy unconscious.
His mother called 911 and paramedics rushed him to Transylvania Community Hospital in Brevard, North Carolina. He spent the night there and was treated for minor burns to his right hand and foot.
TG Daily – Teen nearly kills himself trying to fix overheating Xbox 360
Shocking! Hopefully he's learned what the majority of the world's population knows – water and electricity don't mix. Well, they *do* – just not with particularly pleasant results.

It's August 1st. I should just slit my wrists and call it a day. I kid. I don't like the sight of blood. Or the thought of death. But I still hate August 1st.
First of all, my first-born son turns seventeen today. What? Will someone please explain to me how this happened? Wasn't it just yesterday that he was a baby that loved his mamma? For some reason, seventeen is really, really bothering me. More than "Sweet 16" bothered me, and I sent him on his way in a car…potential death on wheels. I can't explain why, but seventeen just seems much closer to adulthood and independence and LEAVING HOME. Oh sure, there are days when I wonder if it's too soon to start packing his bags for college, but today, my friends, is not that day.
Another reason I'm not a fan of this day is that it is the anniversary of D-Day. How many years have I been divorced now? Geez, six years? Wow. Time really is flying. This is probably the first one where I really don't care all that much about it. There is some significant progress going on over here. I don't really care to talk to him, though, so I am avoiding his phone call.
And yes, he has tried to call me. Apparently, our seventeen-year-old told him that he does not want to go on an overnight trip to float on the river. The Ex even offered to bring along his girlfriend. Of course, my initial reaction was, "So you get to have a sleepover with your girlfriend at the river?" I decided, however, to pick my battles. To wait and see how things played out. You know, since that's what a therapist told me to do. No sense in panicking until there was a definite plan. Dang, those therapist people are smart. It appears that LoverBoy decided against the trip all on his own. His reasons were a bit different – it's his girlfriend's last weekend in town before she heads out for Aggieland and he doesn't want to take her away from her family or take his attention off of her in any way.
I think The Ex is calling to vent. I've already had the conversation in my head…accusations that I have tainted the kids against him, declarations that he needs to put his foot down on this relationship thing since it's ruling LoverBoy's life, and some whining about how LoverBoy drag it out and didn't tell him no right away and how disrespectful he is. See? There's really no reason to call him back. I already know what he's going to say because I have heard it ad nauseam for SIX YEARS.
This year, August 1st has taken its pain-in-my-ass status to a whole new level. LoverBoy has made plans to celebrate his day with his girlfriend, I get to spend all day going to the doctor and having lab work done for some issues (I won't go into detail because TMI), and tonight I get to work because we are having a gospel concert. I know, I should probably attend the concert for some inspiration. I won't, though. I know me.
I'm just going to pout until August 2nd. Then I will celebrate a seventeenth birthday with the best kid in the world!

|> Description
Beauty & the Geek is a WB reality television show, first aired on June 2, 2005. It has been advertised as "the Ultimate Social Experiment", and is produced by Ashton Kutcher. The host is Brian McFayden.
The show matches physically attractive, but intellectually-challenged women with geeky-looking, socially inept, "genius" men, and have them try to learn from each other. The women try to learn about academia, such as rocket science or auto mechanics, from the men while the men try to learn social skills from the women. The pairs must room together in a large mansion that provides the setting of the show.
The show starts out with seven beauties and seven geeks. The men and women take turns choosing partners by introducing themselves in gender-divided rooms. Once paired off, the teams work together to become proficient in unfamiliar areas of study. Their skills are tested in a series of competitions, one for the men and one for the women. The winners of each competition get to choose one team each to go to an elimination round. In the Elimination Room, the women then the men answer three questions each about their area of study. The team with the most points (or the winner of the tiebreaker in the event of a tie) remains in the mansion. The other team leaves immediately.
The last team remaining wins $250,000, split 50/50, paid out over 5 years (as described here).
The winner of the $250,000 prize was Chuck and Caitilin.

It would be nice if we built a kernel mixer facility so that the device COULD be opened more than once.

Hmmmm, doesn't Xman do the same thing? This should give a basic html format to start from. I also expect that there are html tools that could be adapted by/for the person that is html-izing the man pages, and as long as those of us that prefer a quick text version can run the de-html-izer program on the files (mk.conf switch?) then everyone should be able to be happy. Maybe a pkgsrc html-man thing for those that want the hyperlinked/cross indexed/source tagged man page edition with the 8x10 color glossies with a paragraph on the back of each one describing the crime in detail.

Ok no cheating, what do the initials QVC stand for? Time's up. They stand for Quality, Value, and Convenience. These three words have been the brand's guiding principles since its inception in 1986. A brand, thanks to various marketing initiatives along the way, is now seen in over 300 million homes around the world and last year sales alone generated $8.6B in annual revenues, $3.2B of which came from ecommerce.
It's a brand that is available, as my fellow Forbes contributor Paula Rosenblum wrote last year in her piece QVC's Successful Formula For Social Shopping — to view on pretty much any device a shopper has in her hands: from standard web sites to iPads, iPhones and Android devices.
It is also a brand that is very savvy when it comes to marketing — integrated marketing that is or cross-channel marketing of whatever term is hot these days. As Rosenblum put it "(QVC) serves as an excellent example for retailers seeking to create a consistent customer experience across all engagement and selling platforms."
It's Miller Time
For her piece last year, Rosenblum spoke with Alex Miller, SVP Digital Commerce for QVC and I recently had the chance to do the same.
We spoke about a wide array of topics including the changes he's seen over the years regarding engagement with the brand, if he thinks TV is dead, how the brand stands out amidst all the clutter and what the future holds not just for QVC but for retailers in general.
Thankfully for both of us, we refrained from speaking about our beloved Philly sports teams and the continued anguish they keep putting us through year in, year out.
Steve Olenski: What's been the biggest difference in the way consumers engage/interact with QVC over the past 3-5 years?
Alex Miller: QVC has experienced rapid growth in mobile over the past few years and it continues to be our fastest growing platform. In 2013, ecommerce accounted for 38% of our $8.6B global revenues and mobile represented 31% of ecommerce orders. QVC is now the second largest mobile commerce player among all multi-category retailers, behind only
QVC is a relationship oriented business and social media has become a big part of that customer experience. In many ways, QVC was a "social" business before the advent of social networks. We have always worked to connect the owners, inventors, and experts with our customers. Even before social networks, we used the phone to allow our customers to share their thoughts and questions with our community on air. Social media and mobile platforms enable us to extend that relationship with customers in places and times that we weren't able to before.
Now, customers use social as a way to further enjoy and share in the experience of shopping, which has resulted in a high level of engagement and increased purchasing. In the U.S., customers who interacted with one or more of QVC's social channels generated more than half a billion dollars in revenue in the 12 months ending June 2013.
With the overall industry shift towards tablet and smart phone devices, mobile and social will continue to be increasingly important for the customer experience.
Olenski: Are you seeing any "digital lines" being drawn re: are those in the younger demos leaning more to using digital methods to engage/purchase vs. the older demo using more on traditional methods i.e. TV?
Miller: QVC customers are a very engaged, savvy community of shoppers and have proven to be early adopters of new technologies. While we have seen slightly younger averages in the customers that engage with us online, our best customers engage with us across all our platforms.
Our customers are largely multi-platform, so we see them choosing to engage on different platforms based on the context they are in. We've found that once you have built trust with the customer on one platform, they are more likely to follow you to the next platform.

When news of Michael Jackson's death was broadcast, I could not believe what I heard. I know that name, Michael Jackson. He is the black guy whose records my brother had brought home when we are teenagers. At that time, our parents were confused and concerned over this newfound obsession with western music, song and dance. We were teenagers, my siblings and I; we understood the message in the music like Bad, Thriller and Heal The World. What I thought we were most connected to was neither his dancing nor singing; it was his music videos and concert performances.

When Ray Shero acquired Jussi Jokinen from Carolina at last season's trade deadline it barely caused a stir. After all, the Pens' GM had already amped our emotions to a fever pitch by trading for Jarome Iginla, Brenden Morrow, and Douglas Murray.
These days Iginla, Morrow, and Murray are skating for other teams. And Jokinen? Heading into tonight's contest with Ottawa he's totaled 23 goals and 51 points in 65 regular-season games since arriving in the Steel City. Darn fine production for a player who was swapped for the proverbial bag of used pucks (a conditional draft pick).
"Jussi has been pretty good for us," coach Dan Bylsma said. "One thing he's brought to our team is just the intelligence in the way he plays the game, how smart he is on the ice, his hockey sense."
Indeed, when I think of Jokinen the words crafty, economical, and versatile come to mind. His stick is always on the ice and he's always in position to make a play.
In many ways he reminds me of a poor man's Ron Francis. Like the former Pens great, Jussi doesn't possess blazing speed. However, he displays the same Johnny-on-the-spot instincts that earned Francis a place in the Hall of Fame.
Or, as play-by-play announcer Paul Steigerwald puts it, "He disappears and then reappears in exactly the right spot."
"It's always been one of my strengths, that I can get open in those soft areas," Jokinen said.
Following a quick start to the season, No. 36 endured an extended cold spell through November and December. Taking a hard look at his game, the Finnish native realized he was passing the puck too much. An understandable tendency when skating on a line with mega-snipers Evgeni Malkin and James Neal.
Resolving to shoot more, he's been one of the hottest Penguins since the New Year. The 5'11" 198-pounder's tallied seven goals and 14 points over the past 13 games, including two-goal efforts versus the Rangers and Montreal.
"I'm playing with lots of confidence right now," Jokinen told Addison Smith in a recent interview. "If you have a line like that and everybody knows their roles, then everybody can make plays and shoot the puck. I'm probably feeling my best in a long time."
Good news for the Penguins, who'll need steady production from "Juicy" and his linemates if they hope to make a run at the Stanley Cup this spring.

For the uninitiated, the Navy has just about completed its production run of Arleigh Burke-class (DDG-51) destroyers. The 60+ Burkes are highly capable, versatile ships that were designed to do it all and do it well. In capability and survivability, they're a throwback to the general-purpose destroyer of World War II, meant to be equally adept in air-defense, surface warfare and anti-submarine roles. The class has been a great success and will serve for many years to come.
But as capable as these ships are, they can't last forever and the Navy has been hard at work designing their replacements. The problem is that the Navy doesn't seem to know what it wants and appears determined to push the design and technology envelope beyond proven, mature technologies. While the hull form and stealth characteristics of the Burkes were new, the propulsion plant, weapons and electronics were evolutionary, not revolutionary.
Not so the planned replacement, designated the Zumwalt-class (DDG-1000). The Zumwalts represent a revolutionary departure in just about every category. While the Navy has touted the class as a "general purpose" design, its primary function is land-attack, being armed with Tomahawk TLAMs and either one or two 155mm naval guns of a new, longer-range design with the possibility that a naval rail gun could be retrofitted at a later date. The ship will be equipped with the AN/SPY-3 radar and advanced shipboard data processing systems.
But it is the hull design and propulsion plant that raise the most eyebrows. The hull-form is a throwback to the "tumblehome" design in which the deck area tapers outward to its widest point at or beneath the waterline, while incorporating a wave-piercing bow shape that does not ride above the water, but moves through it. There are serious concerns about the design's stability in following seas.
While the original design incorporated a Permanent Magnet Motor for main propulsion, because of technical problems the designers have shifted to an Advanced Induction Motor instead with both ship-service and propulsion power being supplied by an integrated system of gas turbine generator sets. In some respects, this is a throwback to the the older, turbo-electric designs of the 1920s and 1930s. Because of the shift to the AIM, however, the plant will require more space, more power and create more noise.
For survivability and to free up center line space, missile cells are dispersed throughout the periphery of the ship with the bulk of the missile load being Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAMs). The radars will be housed in a very high deckhouse structure constructed of composite materials, not steel. There are reportedly fabrication issues with the structure.
But the principal issues with DDG-1000 are (a) price and (b) mission. While the Navy originally wanted to build 30+ copies, the design's $4B per copy price tag has forced a reduction to three, all of which are to be built by Bath Iron Works, with the composite deckhouses being fabricated by Northrop-Grumman at its Pascagoula shipyard.
When it comes to mission, does this class even have a future? If it's a land-attack design, it's meant to operate in the littorals. But couldn't this job be done more effectively by purpose-built littoral combat ships? There have been disagreements as to whether the Zumwalts even have the air-defense and anti-ballistic missile capabilities of the Burkes or the later-flight Ticonderoga-class cruisers. According to Wikipedia,
In January 2005, John Young, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition, was so confident of the DD(X)'s improved air defense over the Burke class that between its new radar and ability to fire Standard Missiles and SM-6, "I don't see as much urgency for [moving to] CG(X)" – a dedicated air defense cruiser.
On 31 July 2008 Vice Adm. Barry McCullough (deputy chief of naval operations for integration of resources and capabilities) and Allison Stiller (deputy assistant secretary of the Navy for ship programs) stated that "the DDG 1000 cannot perform area air defense; specifically, it cannot successfully employ the Standard Missile-2 (SM-2), SM-3 or SM-6 and is incapable of conducting Ballistic Missile Defense." Dan Smith, president of Raytheon's Integrated Defense Systems division, has countered that the radar and combat system are essentially the same as other SM-2-capable ships, "I can't answer the question as to why the Navy is now asserting…that Zumwalt is not equipped with an SM-2 capability". The lack of anti-ballistic missile capability may represent a lack of compatibility with SM-3. In view of recent intelligence that China is developing targetable anti-ship ballistic missiles based on the DF-21, this could be a fatal flaw.
On 22 February 2009 James Lyons, the former commander in chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, stated that the DDG-1000's technology was essential to a future "boost phase anti-ballistic missile intercept capability".
So, it would appear that the Navy isn't quite sure about its capabilities. And Congress apparently has some heartburn about the class as well. The House likes the Burke class and wants the Navy to build more. The Senate, however, wants the Zumwalts. Earlier this year, the warring factions compromised by assigning all three Zumwalts to Bath while re-starting the Burke production line at Pascagoula.
What do I think? DDG-1000 looks to me like the USS Timmerman, an experiment that never worked right and had a short and unhappy life, although it did serve as a test-bed for future technologies. I have to wonder, though, whether there aren't more cost-effective ways to test new technologies.

Product Description: Queen Victoria rules with an immortal fist. The undead matriarch of a Britain where the Aristocracy is made up of werewolves and vampires, where goblins live underground and mothers know better than to let their children out after dark. A world where being nobility means being infected with the Plague (side-effects include undeath), Hysteria is the popular affliction of the day, and leeches are considered a delicacy. And a world where technology lives side by side with magic. The year is 2012 and Pax Britannia still reigns.
Xandra Vardan is a member of the elite Royal Guard, and it is her duty to protect the Aristocracy. But when her sister goes missing, Xandra will set out on a path that undermines everything she believed in and uncover a conspiracy that threatens to topple the empire. And she is the key--the prize in a very dangerous struggle.

The Tiger and the Yogi
The Tiger and I take a mommy-daughter yoga class with a newly-minted, young yogi. She has taught my daughter to sit silently still for two whole minutes, a true miracle in taming tigers, if you ask me. We are learning all the different poses and the Tiger can lead us in a Sun Salutation after only a few lessons. Yoga is not quick, it asks us to be still, to feel our bodies, to pay attention to our breathing. For active, six-year-olds, this is very difficult. For mommies, blissful. So, after ten minutes or so of focusing on poses, the Tiger gets to run around the room to get the wiggles out.
Yesterday, our instructor came up with an ingenious "yoga game" to test our pose memories. She played music while we scampered around the room. We raised our arms to the sky and wiggled them wildly! We chased and were chased. We giggled and tried not to fall. When the music stopped, we had to assume a pose. The trick was once we did one pose, we couldn't repeat it. It was great fun, but very challenging to go from aerobic activity to stillness, from unstructured movement to one of focus and concentration. We didn't hold the poses long before the music started to play again. More running. More stillness.
What struck me about this game was it's similarity to the practice of being an artist-mother who only has a few hours each week of stillness. Running, running, running, and the music stops! It's so difficult for my mind to jump between the busyness of managing an active home to the stillness and creative discipline that is required to make a work of art. Perhaps our yoga game will train my mind to shift gears more easily.

Hum, Rumble, and similar low-frequency noise, can be reduced using the DeNoiseLF application.
Why DeNoise is not the right tool
DeNoise is a spectrally-based method, dividing the audio into 1024 frequency bands at the rate of 80 overlapping frames per second. For CD quality sound, each band has a width of about 22Hz, too coarse for the accurate resolution of low-frequency noise. In particular hum, which is at a fixed and sharply defined frequency, cannot be treated this way. Improving the frequency resolution would require dealing with frames in the order of 1 second length, whereas the effective treatment of hiss and similar noise demands a frame rate in the order of 80 per second.
How DeNoiseLF works
DeNoiseLF is not a spectrally-based method. It makes extensive use of wavelets to extract and treat the low-frequency audio content in a manner which achieves perfect reconstruction of the untreated higher-frequency content. The noisy audio signal is assumed to consist of the desirable audio and the undesirable low-frequency noise, simply mixed. Advanced statistical algorithms are used to estimate the two streams and remove the noise. The DeNoiseLF interface permits you to view both wave-form and spectral information about the audio and the treatment.
Broad-band noise versus Hum
DeNoiseLF has two mutually exclusive modes of operation.
• A "General" mode suited to the reduction of noise which is widely dispersed across the low-frequency spectrum.
• A "Hum" mode for the reduction of noise at a sharply defined frequency – however DeNoiseLF is not a notch filter.
DeNoiseLF is designed to be automatic, but the results may be monitored using headphones or speakers. Sound output can be selected to play the incoming untreated audio, the outgoing repaired audio, or the difference, which is what has been discarded as audible noise. Processing can be stopped at any time, so that the effect of different settings can be auditioned using a Preview function.
