I bought the wool drop crotch pants and splotchy dotted button down, though they will be going up on eBay. Hopefully they sell and I will then be able to order the jacket that snarky ugly man took from me. I will forever hold a grudge against him and I hope it doesn't fit and that he was attacked by a bear on his way home that stole his jacket.
I am not spiteful, malicious, bitter, or malevolent. Not me! Not one bit!I did keep one thing for meself, and that, my friends, is the two tone choppy wool long sleeve shirt. It's so warm and cozy, and I love how the collar is so uneven. I wasn't a fan of most of the polka dots in the collection, other than the more interesting dots like the ones above and the ones on the men's shirts that looked like they were drawn by a blind 5 year old. It seemed like they (whoever they may be) just decided to take basics-like a simple solid colored long sleeve shirt wtf-paint on a bunch of polka dots and give it a label. Bada bing, bada boom! MONEY!
I did love the deconstructed pieces, though. The jacket (tear) and this shirt, along with a few others that were of a similar design. I know that the clothes had to appeal to the mass market, but I wish Rei didn't have to compromise her normally HOLYCRAP aesthetic so much. How bout more loopy bows and cage dresses? Ah well. What can ya do? Not much, I suppose, except find different ways to wear what you did really love...
Here it's simple, with some thrifted trousers and a white sheer top I'm wearing as a lumpy scarf.
This wool jacket used to be my mom's many years ago when she still lived in Norway. It kind of has that deconstructed thang going on, too. Actually, I was pretty happy with what my dad said about it. I'd shown him the picture of the jacket I was going to get online the night before, and when he saw me wearing it the next day, he thought it was the jacket! Then again, his memory is that of an old father getting gray hairs...
Here I wore my cape over one arm...
With my thrifted schoolgirl skirt, white belt tied as a bow scarf thingymajigger (oh how wide my vocabulary is) and metallic tin man/sputnik/robot/buzz lightyear jacket. The tights I got on Thursday too, SOMEHOW the ones I bought at Walgreens for a dollar got giant holes and runs in them so it was time to buy a new pair. When I wore my holey ones to school a few days ago, a teacher said, "Tavi, you should ask your parents for a raise on your pantyhose spending!" Ew. Probably the only time I'll take a teacher's advice.
Again, I am not bitter.
What I finally ended up wearing. My black pencil skirt and cape tied on the side. I wore this to my friend's house yesterday and her brother actually asked if I had sewn two shirts together.
And the shoes I'm wearing in these photos. Tao-esque boots and fake vans from 6th grade, when I was all OMGZ CONVERSE VANS IPOD COMMERCIAL SONGS. Rei does these kinds of shoes a lot though, and now I finally have ideas of ways to wear them, other than OMGZ SKINNY JEANS AND A HOODIE. Though I don't like the red, I think I'll color them with black sharpie? Or something?
Be seeing you!
Yeah, hopefully not sporadically!
God I wanna watch that movie right now.
While walking to the EL, saw our neighbor down the block
She wanted to know why we were in such a hurry
Didn't wanna tell her "shoppin" so I said we'd better scurry
When we got down there we rushed into line
Surrounded by us were people of all kinds
Label whores, hipsters, grandmamas, too
Met a professor named Sam, we talked about religious views
Rei Kawakubo (H&M)
Rei Kawakubo (Can I be your friend?)
Rei Kawakubo (stalker fan letters I will send)
Rei Kawakubo (I love you with no end)
At 9 AM they opened the doors
Cue the sound of Marni heels running on the floors
I grabbed what I could, got looks from others shoppin
Though their glares were patronizing, I wouldn't be stoppin
They were older but my smallness was a plus
Being tiny helped me try and get the things I lust
I slithered on the ground and crawled through the racks
Took the clothing people dropped after I surprise attacked
Rei Kawakubo (H&M)
Rei Kawakubo (Can I be your friend?)
Rei Kawakubo (stalker fan letters I will send)
Rei Kawakubo (I love you with no end)
The jacket I wanted returned from the fitting rooms
A worker put it on the racks, about to end my doom
But an evil man stole it from my grasp with glee
But my spirits were lifted when I met a girl named Claire
She said she read my blog, put you hands up in the air!
Let me know what you got, in the midst of all the LOONY
You're the sweetest person ever, thanks for saying hi to me!
Rei Kawakubo (H&M)
Rei Kawakubo (Can I be your friend?)
Rei Kawakubo (stalker fan letters I will send)
Rei Kawakubo (Readers, is this rap bugging you yet?)
I ended up getting not my favorite things ever
But I got out alive as a soon-to-be ebay seller!
It was a hectic day but worth missing school
No one in class got swagga this cool!
Comme Des Garcons (H&M)
Now you all gone (goodbye, my friend)
But I still love you a ton (for you I would have bled)
I wrote you this song (and now it's come to an end)

However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year.

If you're about to enter the realm of parenthood, one thing's for certain: everything in life is about to change.
You'll trade late nights out for sleepless nights in. You'll master new skills – like changing diapers and soothing a newborn. And most importantly, you'll have the responsibility of caring for a new member of your family.
Having your first child is a huge milestone. And like any other major life change, it means it's a good time to evaluate your insurance needs and make sure you have the right coverage in place.
We know you've got a lot to prepare for – and your insurance policies probably aren't top of mind. So here's a quick list of things you should consider before bringing home your new baby.
Homeowners Insurance Considerations for New Parents
- Tell your agent about any renovations. As you prepare to bring your baby home, chances are you may have taken on a few extra projects around the house. If you've made any major changes to your home – like adding on space for a new nursery or finishing your basement to transform it into a playroom – then you should give your Erie Insurance agent a call.
That's because home repairs and renovations can increase the value of your home, which should be reflected in the limits on your homeowners policy. This ensures your home will be fully protected in the event of a loss. An insurance professional like an ERIE agent can help you understand choices in limits and deductibles so you get the coverage you need within your budget.
- Update your home inventory. As a new parent, you may be surprised at how much gear you'll acquire in taking care of your child. And from strollers and cribs to high-tech video monitors and clothing, the potential cost of replacing all those items can add up fast.
As you unpack those gifts from your baby shower, it's a good time to consider updating your home inventory. By making a record of all the new items in your home, you can streamline the process of replacing them in the event of a covered loss.
- Enhance your protection. Starting a family can bring you a lot of joy. But it also comes with added risk. To make your home a safe place for children of all ages, you may want to consider making some physical changes to baby-proof your home.
To protect you from major accidents, ERIE also offers personal umbrella insurance1. This insurance can give you an extra layer of protection in case something tragic happens on the backyard trampoline or in your swimming pool. For most people, adding an extra $1 million in coverage costs less than $20 a month.
Auto Insurance Considerations for New Parents
- Brush up on car seat safety. As a new parent, learning the ins and outs of child safety seats can get a bit overwhelming. But purchasing the right car seat for your baby – and making sure it's properly installed in your vehicle – should never be overlooked. To get an overview of car seat safety, check out A Parent's Guide to Car Seats.
You should also know that if you're ever in an auto accident, your car seat may need to be replaced. At ERIE, we conduct a thorough review of the vehicle damage and follow National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) guidelines to determine if a car seat may have been damaged. If so, we'll replace your car seat as part of your insurance claim. For questions about the specifics of car seat replacement, talk to your ERIE claims representative or contact us today.
- Evaluate your vehicle's safety. Nothing will make you think about your car's safety more than driving home from the hospital with a newborn in tow. Check out our maintenance and repair tips for advice on how to keep your car in tip-top shape.
If your newly acquired parenthood status has you considering a new ride, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) TOP SAFETY PICKs should be on your short list. As a nonprofit research and education organization, IIHS conducts crash tests to determine which vehicles do the best job of protecting people in the most common kinds of crashes – front, side, rollover and rear. They also evaluate other vehicle safety features, such as headlights and crash avoidance technology.
Life Insurance Considerations for New Parents
- Purchase life insurance for your newborn. Major life changes like getting married or buying a house are often when people think about buying life insurance for the first time – and for good reason. Another major milestone that warrants considering life insurance is the birth of a child.
There's advantages to purchasing a policy at a young age: lower rates and future insurability. Because insurers price policies based on risk (and young people have a far lower mortality rate than older groups), your rates are generally less expensive if you're young and healthy. Buying a policy when you're young and healthy (and adding a Guaranteed Insurability Option rider2) makes it easier for you to buy more coverage in the future. Plus, you'll have a policy (locked in at a great rate) now, should you ever need it. Buying a life insurance policy for these reasons helped one young woman when she received a life-changing diagnosis.
ERIE also offers Single-Pay Whole Life, which is a great option for grandparents to purchase for their grandchild. For one lump sum payment, a child gets coverage for life.
- Purchase life insurance for yourself. If you haven't purchased a life policy for yourself yet, there's no better reason than the birth of your child. A life insurance policy can help provide for your family if anything ever happens to you by covering expenses like funeral arrangements, mortgage payments or college tuition. It can also help replace the income of a parent and avoid potential financial hardship for the family.
- Update your will and beneficiaries. When your child is born, you'll likely want them to be named as a beneficiary to your estate. To do that, you'll need to write a will. So whether you're one of the 60% of Americans without a will, or you just haven't updated yours in a while, now is a good time to take action.
Updating your will is the perfect time to name a legal guardian for your child and consult an attorney on the best way to set up a trust for your child, if needed.
Unlock Insurance Savings
With a new child on the way, we know your household budget will be undergoing some changes, too. If you're looking for ways to save on insurance premiums that don't compromise your coverage, we can help. Schedule a personalized coverage review today to learn about the insurance discounts you may be eligible for.
When you work with an experienced agent in your community, you'll get coverage that fits your life and protects all that matters most to you. Get the insurance you need – and nothing you don't – from an ERIE agent.

Calcium signaling pathway
Ca2+ that enters the cell from the outside is a principal source of signal Ca2+. Entry of Ca2+ is driven by the presence of a large electrochemical gradient across the plasma membrane. Cells use this external source of signal Ca2+ by activating various entry channels with widely different properties. The voltage-operated channels (VOCs) are found in excitable cells and generate the rapid Ca2+ fluxes that control fast cellular processes. There are many other Ca2+-entry channels, such as the receptor-operated channels (ROCs), for example the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors (NMDARs) that respond to glutamate. There also are second-messenger-operated channels (SMOCs) and store-operated channels (SOCs). The other principal source of Ca2+ for signalling is the internal stores that are located primarily in the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR), in which inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) or ryanodine receptors (RYRs) regulate the release of Ca2+. The principal activator of these channels is Ca2+ itself and this process of Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release is central to the mechanism of Ca2+ signalling. Various second messengers or modulators also control the release of Ca2+. IP3, which is generated by pathways using different isoforms of phospholipase C (PLCbeta, delta, epsilon, gamma and zeta), regulates the IP3Rs. Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) releases Ca2+ via RYRs. Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) may activate a distinct Ca2+ release mechanism on separate acidic Ca2+ stores. Ca2+ release via the NAADP-sensitive mechanism may also feedback onto either RYRs or IP3Rs. cADPR and NAADP are generated by CD38. This enzyme might be sensitive to the cellular metabolism, as ATP and NADH inhibit it. The influx of Ca2+ from the environment or release from internal stores causes a very rapid and dramatic increase in cytoplasmic calcium concentration, which has been widely exploited for signal transduction. Some proteins, such as troponin C (TnC) involved in muscle contraction, directly bind to and sense Ca2+. However, in other cases Ca2+ is sensed through intermediate calcium sensors such as calmodulin (CALM).

About Us: Participants in THL Tibetan and Himalayan Community Portal
Please see Tibetan And Himalayan Community Resources Editorial Board for details on the board overseeing the development of the Community section of THL.
We are actively seeking participants in these initiatives. Please note that participation in the THL Community portal does not entail working with THL or using THL for anything else. The Tibetan and Himalayan Community Portal is a service published by THL, but its content and participants should represent the full spectrum of people, organizations, projects, and resources relating to Tibet and the Himalayans, of which THL is just one small component.
Our focus is on agents involved with knowledge - creating new knowledge, disseminating knowledge, using knowledge to benefit local communities - whether that knowledge is about Tibet and the Himalayans, is created by Tibetan and Himalayan people, or is intended for the use of Tibetan and Himalayan communities. Thus we especially invite individuals and organizations involved with such knowledge to participate. However, the Community Portal is also concerned with knowledge about Tibetan communities and any activities and organizations working therein. Thus the Community Portal's scope is universal in that sense - any information on Tibetan communities and those working therein is knowledge that we are theoretically concerned to record and make available.
Below we detail organizations that have made a core commitment not just to THL as a publisher, or THL collaborative resources, but to using and participating in THL with a strong focus on benefiting local communities in Tibet and the Himalayas. If you would like to be such a core participating, please contact us at .

7:03: The NYT published the Democratic National Committee's talking points. Fun to read these things because they're so insipid:
*Joe Biden showed exactly why Americans are rallying behind the Democratic ticket to deliver the change the country needs.I love all that "exactly." I mean, if I were speaking in reliance on those talking points and someone followed up with the question, "You say he showed exactly what we need, but what exactly was so exact about what he said?," I would melt into a quivering pool of jelly.
* Last night, Joe Biden told it like it is. And everyone at the Pepsi Center—and around the nation—responded. He showed exactly why Americans are rallying behind the Democratic ticket to deliver the change the country needs....
7:31: Stevie Wonder!
7:38: He's singing "Signed, Sealed, Delivered." The stadium looks great -- still in daylight -- full of people, all supplied with flags, so there's lots of waving of flags, which gives a nice energetic movement to the crowd shots. Stevie changes the words: "I know Barack Obama's gonna set this country on fire and a lot of people all over this place are gonna say ooh, baby, here I am...." By the way, that set doesn't look at all like a Greek temple, as the early reports said. Maybe they worked to tone down anything that was temple-like about it.
7:45: Al Gore! If only he'd won the presidency, Bin Laden would be captured by now. The great thing about losing is that you can say whatever you want about what you would have done.
7:51: I said above that I didn't think the set looks like a Greek temple, but I want to remind you that when I originally wrote about it, I said: "So is this stage set going to seem like a Greek temple, with Obama as some phony god — from somewhere in Europe — or is it going remind us of the federal government — with Obama looking simply presidential?" Yet look at this sleazy, lying, underhanded post at Crooks and Liars, slamming me this way:
Never let it be said that Republicans and their counterparts in the conservative blogosphere (yes, Ann "I Like To Drink Wine and Blog About American Idol" Althouse, I'm looking right at you) can't attempt to manufacture a scandal out of thin air that shows just how stupid they are. ...Uh, yeah, so you won't "dignify" me with a link because... why? Because it would show that I said all along that it could either look like a Greek temple, as Reuters reported, or it might look like federal government buildings, and we wouldn't know until we actually saw it. Nicole Belle, who wrote that post, is shamefully dishonest. She flaunts her dishonesty by not linking to the text she was writing about because it would show that her post is vicious character assassination. I associate Crooks and Liars with John Amato, who I think is a good person, and I call on him to do something about the sleazy post that is messing up his blog.
So Ann "Liberal Boobies Enrage Me" Althouse whips herself up into a righteous indignation, which is promptly echoed throughout the other sites. (I won't dignify her with a link, look it up) How dare Obama? Is he trying to suggest that he's a God or something??? The presumption! Do you see how messianic he is? His supporters are like a cult! (imagine her furious fingers typing away)
But see, here's the problem, Ann. You clearly haven't traveled. If you had actually ever gone to the seat of our federal government, Washington DC, guess what you'd see? Columns! Know why? Because most of our federal buildings were designed in an architectural style called…wait for it…Greek Revival. Which means, you know, lots of columns. Like the ones in the front and back of the White House–where Obama will reside in January, by the way. And the ones in front of the Lincoln Memorial, where exactly 45 years ago today, Martin Luther King gave a speech....
8:15: But I do agree with the statement: "Liberal boobies enrage her." My dictionary defines "booby" as: "1. A person regarded as stupid." (2 refers to a tropical seabird, which is probably invariably apolitical.)
8:18: Al Gore is still pontificating. Ah, now he's done. Sorry, I didn't say much about that speech. I was getting pissed off at the underhanded blogger who's been allowed to post at Crooks and Liars. Anyway. I'm over it now. The song playing Al Gore off the stage is "Let the Sun Shine In." I don't get it. If the sun shines in, it will add to global warming. They should have played something like this or this.
8:26: Hey, Biden is back. Why is he talking again? There should be no second orations. He seems to be setting up one of those sequences of ordinary people. If I couldn't pause the DVR and periodically fast-forward, this would be utterly intolerable -- even for me, loving to write, and knowing I have quite a few readers on this post. I find it very hard to believe anyone would watch this part of the show. But, okay, the throng in the stadium must be entertained. Maybe it's just perverse even to attempt to watch this part of the show.
9:00: An introductory film clip. Obama's mother said he needed to understand what it means to be an American. He only met his father once and "was shaped more by his absence than by his presence." His grandparents "weren't complainers." His mother saw his promise and did what she had to do: woke him up at 4:30 to teach him lessons. It makes me tear up to see the pictures of the mother, because she's not alive to see this. Very cute pictures of him as a teenager. Michelle is talking about how weird it was for him to be named "Barack Obama." "Barack Smith" or "Barry Obama" would be okay, but not "Barack Obama." But everyone called him "Barry" when he was growing up, so he must have thought it was an advantage to revive the unusual first name. His mother's death was one of the worst things that ever happened to him. (What were the other things on that level?) It made him realize that life is short and you need to work hard to achieve your goals.
9:11: (By chance, it's 9:11... in the Central Time Zone.) Obama ambles out. He's got a nice square-shouldered suit and a red tie. A flag pin! (Duh!) Flags everywhere, in fact. The background, in the close-ups, is not temple-like at all. It's peach-colored squares framed in dark wood.
9:14: "With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for President of the United States." Big cheers. A wide shot shows the glittering arena, which is not giving off any ominous night rally vibe (such as I've heard talk about).
9:16: Michelle, Malia, and Sasha — he's introducing them now — are wearing coordinating pink flowery sundresses. I like the way the 2 girls are completely different, the older one shyly ladylike and the younger one un-self-consciously cute.
9:20: He wants to keep the American promise alive. If we love the country, we shouldn't want "the next 4 years to look like the last 8." In an allusion to a TV show he probably watched -- his memoir says he watched a lot of TV with his grandfather -- he says "Eight Is Enough."
9:24: The bad economy -- but today's news was good -- is not just a state of mind and people who complain about it are not just "whiners." There is a tremendous stress on helping working people. I don't know that it's at all clear why Obama would help this situation, but he's certainly doing what he can to convince you he cares.
9:30: Good lord, Michelle's dress is completely encrusted with flowers. Are they 3-D? It's kind of making me sad. She's an accomplished professional woman, and it's as though they can't emphasize enough that she's a feminine, motherly helpmeet. And to have her dressed like the 2 little girls? Ooh. That twinges.
9:38: Equal pay for equal work. "I want my daughters to have the exact same opportunities as your sons." As if his daughters won't have far more opportunity.
9:41: He gets the biggest cheer of the night after saying he invites the debate over who will be the better Commander in Chief. "Don't tell me the Democrats won't keep us safe." He wants to restore the legacy of FDR and JFK. "I will never hesitate to defend this nation." But he'll make sure there is "a clear mission." "I will end the war in Iraq responsibly."
9:46: "Patriotism has no party."
9:48: "We can keep AK-47s out of the hands of criminals." All right, then! Can I have an AK-47? I'm not a criminal. He's trying to say we can accommodate gun rights and gun regulations, but he won't admit to anything near the level of gun regulation he'd support, so he ends up sounding silly.
9:57: He ends with perfect timing, after referring to Martin Luther King's speech, which was given 45 years ago. At that time, people could have reacted in a negative way to the "dream deferred." But they didn't. They were hopeful. And we can be hopeful too. Now Michelle and the girls come out, and there are some modest (and very smoky) fireworks. Now, Biden strides out, looking Clintonesque. Confetti falls. Red, white, and blue streamers. We see a long shot, and the brightly lit audience is full of waving flags. Joe Biden squats down and points around in a half circle, like a rockstar. Create excitement, he must be thinking. Now, the streamers hang droopily, and a bunch more people come out. Who knows who they are? More fireworks. Lots of blowing confetti. There isn't much loud cheering, and it's not just that the microphones are turned down, because I hear one guy yell "Our next President!" A sweet closeup of Barack and Michelle nuzzling. As they are walking off the stage, Obama pauses, turns and looks up and around. He claps for the audience, starts to leave, turns back again -- the moment of a lifetime is almost gone -- and claps one more time.
11:22: So was it an improvement to switch to the open-air stadium? I think it wasn't. The enclosed Pepsi Center preserved and amplified the crowd noise. During the tedious speeches in the last few days, you could hear the din of conversation. But for Obama's speech, the people would be paying rapt attention, and the cheers would have had an intensity in the convention hall that was not quite there in the stadium. Also, the background was much more vivid indoors -- a deep, electric blue. In the stadium, we saw a fairly dull background. It looked like a backdrop from a cheap TV studio. Because there's no roof on Invesco Field, we were deprived of the traditional massive cascade of balloons. The fireworks and the shooting streamers and confetti didn't have the classic look and over-abundance that we would have seen inside with balloons. (Balloons! I want balloons!) Finally, we lost the sense of fulfilment that comes when the man we've been celebrating for days finally shows up in the place where everyone's been talking about him. To make up for that loss, Obama put in a perfunctory appearance at the Pepsi Center last night, but that messed up the narrative arc. We should have been aching with anticipation tonight, but we already greeted him last night.
11:47: The best speech of the convention -- it's no contest -- was given by Bill Clinton. No one else came close for me. Second best: Joe Biden. At the next level, I would put Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, and Barack Obama.

Angels - 000 010 000 - 1 2 0Lackey (7-2-1-2-4, 102) shut down his former team with very little fuss, David Ortiz hit an opposite field solo home run in the fourth, and Adrian Beltre, after singled in Boston's first run, slammed a dong over the camera platform in center field for some eighth inning insurance. Which wasn't needed, because Bard and Bot were totally awesome.
Red Sox - 010 100 01x - 3 11 0
The Angels had only two hits: Kendry Morales's single to left to start the second and Brandon Wood's solo homer in the fifth. Wood came up with the bases loaded in the second, Lackey's only worrisome frame: Morales had singled, Maicer Izturis walked with one out and then, with two down, a thread on Mike Napoli's uniform was grazed by a pitch to load the bases. Wood (1-for-12 in his career with the sacks juiced) struck out.
Flo had a single and a walk to go with his tater; Dustin Pedroia singled twice and walked, Beltre was 3-for-4; and Kevin Youkilis singled in the seventh after striking out in his first three trips. Third base coach Tim "Wendell" Bogar sent Marco Scutaro to the plate on Yook's single, and even with Shemp's not unexpected crappy off-line throw, Scutaro was out. With Boston ahead 2-1 at the time and the possibility of having Drew up with the bases loaded with only one out, it was a moronic decision.
But Terry Francona got a W in his 1,000th game as Red Sox manager (579-421).Joel Pineiro / John Lackey
The Rays, Yankees and Blue Jays all won yesterday, so Boston (13-14) remains 6.5 GB in 4th place. Toronto and New York both play this afternoon, while Tampa Bay plays tonight.Scuatro, SS

The Red Sox will honour Nomar Garciaparra before the game (#5 on 5/5).
X-rays of Clay Buchholz's left ankle were negative. "If it had been an inch lower, it would have been bad - it would have been right on my ankle bone."

Teeth Whitening/Opalescence and Venus White Strips
Our teeth can discolor through the years as our enamel wears down. The wearing down of enamel allows dentin, a yellow color substance that makes the core of our teeth, to show through. This is what gives our teeth a yellowish tint. Teeth whitening helps restore teeth to a shiny white color through the use of bleach.
Teeth whitening methods
There are two popular teeth whitening options available through your dentist. The first, in-office teeth whitening, produces a significant color change in your teeth in a short amount of time, usually within an hour. The procedure is done at the dentist's office by applying a high-concentration peroxide gel on the teeth after they have been protected with a special shield.
The second method, involves the use of take home whitening kits. These whitening kits are purchased from your doctor for use at home. The strength of the gel used in these kits is lower than that used for in-office bleaching, and thus the gel can be applied for longer periods of time. Usually the trays are worn a couple hours a day or overnight for a few days or weeks depending on the product.
Its best to consult your dentist to understand which whitening option is best for you.

Isn't it funny how fast the holidays have raced past? Wasn't it just a few days ago I was fussing about my menu plan for Christmas Eve dinner, packing presents to help Santa with his huge duties and ranting on about what to wear at the New Year's Eve party with my girlfriends?
I was just getting used to sleeping late, enjoying late breakfasts with my boys, lazing into the day, visiting friends, reading or sledging with Soeren - that was the order of the day for the past 2 weeks. Now it's back to work, routines, appointments and the need to pick up the pace again. The last two weeks of December poofed away too fast. But they always do - every year!
Hopefully you all had a great start to your new year and are as excited to get on with the new and be done with the old as I am. I was just jotting down the vacations and upcoming highlights for 2010 and I have to say if the rest of the year looks as good as this then it's gotta be a good one. Just for starters, I will be getting visitors from Nantes towards the end of January, maybe a trip to Dubai, Food Blogger Connect in June, summer in Norway and A-HA in Dresden with my Cook Sister! Not to mention spending a few fun weekends in and around Berlin as Tom starts a new episode in his life.
Have you all made any resolutions for the new year? Tell me!
I am not much for resolutions I have to admit. I simply believe if I need to change something in my life then I should do it - at that point and not wait till the year ends. I am impatient by nature and waiting only dissatisfies me. Sure there are times when you do not have control over certain issues then there is a wait. But if I can control it then I can change it. So, here's to hoping that I have a lot of control over 2010!
I am afraid that you won't have much control over this sweet sin though. It was our Christmas Eve dinner dessert - a fluffy white chocolate mousse flavored sensually with the warmth of cardamom and sprinkled with spiced spekulatius crumbs. I made a few extras just in case any of our guests were craving seconds - what can I say? I should have made enough for thirds!
White Chocolate Cardamom Mousse with Spekulatius Crumbs
Printable version of recipe here
Serves 4
180g white chocolate, coarsely chopped
300 ml whipping cream
1/2 - 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, depending on the preferred intensity of cardamom
2 sheets gelatin
3 eggs, separated
120g spiced spekulatius cookies, coarsely crushed
- Place a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir together the chocolate and cream in the bowl until the chocolate has melted. Set aside to cool.
- Soak gelatin in a small bowl of cold water for approx. 5 minutes, then squeeze excess water. Place the gelatin in a small saucepan and gently heat. Add 1-2 tablespoons of the chocolate-cream mixture and stir to dissolve the gelatin.
- Stir in the eggs into the slightly warm chocolate-cream mixture, then add the cardamom powder and the gelatin to the mixture and incorporate.
- Refrigerate for about 20 - 30 minutes, until the mixture has thickened slightly.
- Beat the egg whites with electric beaters until firm peaks form. Fold into the cream mixture until evenly combined.
- Divide the mousse mixture into dessert bowls, glasses or cups, then refrigerate for 3 hours or preferably overnight until set.
- Before serving sprinkle generous amounts of the spekulatius crumbs over the top. Alternatively you can layer the mousse mixture with the crumbs. To do this you will need to fill your dessert glass half way, then sprinkle a thick layer of the spekulatius crumbs, pour a layer of the mousse mixture and finally top with another spekulatius crumb layer. The mousse mixture will have to be fairly thick to avoid the crumbs sinking into the mousse while layering so increase the initial refrigeration time in step 4. accordingly.
Food Guide Tips:
- Delicious and crispy homemade spekulatius cookies.
- Everything you need to know about white chocolate
- Cardamom - a versatile spice
A nice way to kick off the new year – don't you think? A treat to satisfy all your sweet teeth - and I know there are a few of them out there. It certainly satisfied ours. Mousse is always an all time favorite - being elegant and exquisite, fluffy, and dense, moist and simply irresistible in every way. White chocolate epitomized the white Christmas we were having, while the cardamom added the warming glow and the spekulatius crumbs were an added crunchy bonus to play-off against the smoothness of the entire dessert. It went down with our friends quite well - I watched them savor each bite - slowly and almost affectionately - until I told them there was plenty for another round.

It sounds funny to think that a little Chihuahua would be able to stop a thief. If you think about it, other than yapping and possibly causing lots of harm with their sharp little teeth, any criminal could easily pick up the Chihuahua and the dog's effort to stop crimes would be in vain. However, Carly, a Chihuahua from St. Johns, Canada became a hero when her yapping alerted her owners of a man that was trying to steal her fur sibling, a Newfoundland named Silas.
The pet owners let her dog's out around 8:00 p.m. and a minute later Carly started barking nonstop. Dooling went out to investigate and saw a man dragging her Newfoundland down her driveway.
I said: "Excuse me, what are you doing?" he told me he's taking his dog and I said, "No, you're not"
Without hesitating, the woman self-described as short walked up to the man and punched him on the face, then took her dog back home with her.
The man had come prepared with his own leash and had hooked up the leash to Silas's leash. "There was no way that I was going to be able to wrestle the dog out of his hands so the only thing I could think was just punch him," said Dooling.
After hitting the man, the criminal ran off down the street. "It's an inconvenience or a nuisance, you could say, when she does bark, but she's my guard dog. Some people have big Dobermans — I have a Chihuahua."
As for her dogs, Dooling said Silas was subdued for much of the night and next day after the near-theft, while Carly the Chihuahua was on high alert, barking at anything that passed by the windows.
We have been reading posts on social media regarding people stating that there have been attempts to steal dogs from backyards. At this time we would like to remind everybody that any suspicious activity *needs* to be phoned in to us so patrol division can be dispatched and investigate.
Additionally, if you see that a friend has something posted on their Facebook of this nature please encourage them to call.
The mysterious pooch was discovered by a journalist and their news crew who were in the Bang Rakam District of Thailand reporting on drought conditions. The news crew revealed that they spotted the dog after it ran out of a house near to where they were filming. They then turned the camera on the adorable animal and shot a short video clip which was uploaded to Thai news site Matichon on November 12.
"Never underestimate the power of a yappy Chihuahua"
A daring dachshund proved herself a rare breed of heroine after she saved two boys from a savage bear attack. The super sausage dog raced into action after spotting two boys being ravaged by a massive black bear in Russia.
The giant animal attacked the youngsters soon after they emerged from their village shop. "He caught up with Stas first. The bear threw him to the ground, began to trample him, bite him, he grabbed his head, then shoulder and back. I watched – and ran at the bear. I didn't think about myself or what would happen. I just wanted to save my friend."
"Nikita ran and saved me. He hit the bear's head with a stone."
At this point the bear, which now had a sore head, turned on Nikita, gnawing and clawing him, leaving Stas wounded and frightened. At this moment a little dachshund called Tosya arrived on the scene and barked furiously at the bear. Now the beast left Nikita and chased the darting dog into the forest.
Tosya diverted the bear well away from the village, before losing the wild animal and returning safely home. According to one report, the dog , hailed as a heroine, was rewarded with cake.
Both children were rushed to hospital, with Stas suffering scratches, bites and bruises, while Nikita had more serious wounds, with deep cuts on his hands, and bites on his legs.
Nikita's mother Maria Nikonova says: "It was a shock. I couldn't believe that bears can attack children in the middle of the village. It was terrible to look at all these lacerations, his torn clothes all covered in blood."
Hunters tracked and shot the bear, which had earlier left a village couple marooned in their house as it laid waste to their garden. A bear cub created absolute havoc by running inside a coffee shop. The clip shows the bear cub running around the coffee shop and attempting to jump on tables.
Laughter can be heard on the clip, and everyone was quickly moved out of the way of the bear and it ran out of the shop again. It is thought that the cub might have been lost and disorientated or separated from its mother.
The smell of food, coffee and pastries may also have attracted the bear to explore inside. Hilariously, the shop advertises itself as a place where tourists can get close to nature – in this case, far closer than anyone would expect.

In order to buy a house, most Americans take on a mortgage loan. While debt is usually to be avoided if possible, when it comes to a mortgage there may actually be some financial benefits for borrowers.
If you dump all your extra funds into paying off your mortgage, you may be in a tight spot if you face a financial emergency. Family deaths, divorce and health traumas are just a few things that can quickly rack up enormous debts. If you do not have a sizable emergency save up and you have been sinking all disposable cash into your home, you may end up selling your home to pay for those bills. It is much harder to tap your home's equity than it is to pull money out of your bank account. Before going full steam on paying off your home, make sure you set aside three to six months' worth of expenses in your savings.
Beyond preparing for financial crises, you may also be able to get better returns on your extra money by investing it. This can be especially true if your mortgage loan has a very low interest rate.
Credit Score
If you consistently make your mortgage payments on time, your credit score will improve. While it may not seem like credit score matters much after obtaining a mortgage, it does still affect things like auto loans, business loans, and in some cases employment opportunities. If you have extra cash but also have other debts, your credit score (and wallet) would benefit most by paying down those high-interest credit card bills, student loans or car loans first.
Payments Get Easier
Over time your income will probably increase and as will inflation in the greater economy, but if you have a fixed-rate loan your payment will never increase. Over time, it will fell easier to make that payment as it shrinks as a percentage of your income.
Tax Breaks
While tax laws have changed in recent years, there are still potential tax breaks for some mortgage borrowers. If you make enough to itemize your taxes, you can deduct any mortgage interest you paid on up to $750,000 in mortgage debt.
Of course, there are downsides to holding on to your mortgage until the very end. You will end up paying the maximum amount of interest and your home will cost you more than if you paid off the loan early. Also, if you have an adjustable rate mortgage, until you refinance or pay off the loan you may live in fear of your changing interest rate. And if your mortgage lasts into your retirement years, you may feel a financial pinch once you are living on a fixed income.
The answer to whether mortgage debt is helpful is not universal. It will depend on factors like the type of loan, the mortgage interest rate, and the borrower's income potential. In some cases, those keeping a mortgage loan can be more beneficial than paying it off quickly.

Pope to resign Feb. 28, says he's too infirm
VATICAN CITY— Pope Benedict XVI said Monday he lacks the strength to fulfill his duties and on Feb. 28 will become the first pontiff in 600 years to resign. The announcement sets the stage for a conclave in March to elect a new leader for world's 1 billion Catholics.
The 85-year-old pope announced the bombshell in Latin during a meeting of Vatican cardinals, surprising even his closest collaborators, even though Benedict had made clear in the past he would step down if he became too old or infirm to do the job.
Benedict called his choice "a decision of great importance for the life of the church."
Indeed, the move allows the Vatican to hold a conclave before Easter to elect a new pope, since the traditional mourning time that would follow the death of a pope doesn't have to be observed.
It will also allow Benedict to hold great sway over the choice of his successor. He has already hand-picked the bulk of the College of Cardinals — the princes of the church who will elect the next pope — to guarantee his conservative legacy and ensure an orthodox future for the church.
There are several papal contenders in the wings, but no obvious front-runner — the same situation when Benedict was elected pontiff in 2005 after the death of Pope John Paul II.
The Vatican stressed that no specific medical condition prompted Benedict's decision, but in recent years, the pope has slowed down significantly, cutting back his foreign travel and limiting his audiences. He now goes to and from the altar in St. Peter's Basilica on a moving platform, to spare him the long walk down the aisle. Occasionally he uses a cane.
His 89-year-old brother, Georg Ratzinger, said doctors had recently advised the pope not to take any more trans-Atlantic trips.
"His age is weighing on him," Ratzinger told the dpa news agency. "At this age my brother wants more rest."
Benedict emphasized that carrying out the duties of being pope — the leader of more than a billion Roman Catholics worldwide — requires "both strength of mind and body."
"After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths due to an advanced age are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry," he told the cardinals.
"In order to govern the bark of St. Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary — strengths which in the last few months, have deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me," he said.
Popes are allowed to resign; church law specifies only that the resignation be "freely made and properly manifested." But only a handful have done it.
The last pope to resign was Pope Gregory XII, who stepped down in 1415 in a deal to end the Great Western Schism among competing papal claimants. The most famous resignation was Pope Celestine V in 1294; Dante placed him in hell for it.
When Benedict was elected at age 78, he was the oldest pope chosen in nearly 300 years. At the time, he has already been planning to retire as the Vatican's chief orthodoxy watchdog to spend his final years writing in the "peace and quiet" of his native Bavaria.
On Monday, Benedict said he would serve the church for the remainder of his days "through a life dedicated to prayer." The Vatican said immediately after his resignation, Benedict would go to Castel Gandolfo, the papal summer retreat south of Rome, and then would live in a cloistered monastery.
Contenders to be his successor include Cardinal Angelo Scola, archbishop of Milan, Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, the archbishop of Vienna, and Cardinal Marc Ouellet, the Canadian head of the Vatican's office for bishops.
Longshots include Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York. Although Dolan is popular and backs the pope's conservative line, the general thinking is that the Catholic Church doesn't need a pope from a "superpower."
Given half of the world's Catholics live in the global south, there will once again be arguments for a pope to come from the developing world.
Cardinal Antonio Tagle, the archbishop of Manila, has impressed many Vatican watchers, but at 56 and having only been named a cardinal last year, he is considered too young.
Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson of Ghana is one of the highest-ranking African cardinals at the Vatican, currently heading the Vatican's office for justice and peace, but he's something of a wild card.
All cardinals under age 80 are allowed to vote in the conclave, the secret meeting held in the Sistine Chapel where cardinals cast ballots to elect a new pope. As per tradition, the ballots are burned after each voting round; black smoke that snakes out of the chimney means no pope has been chosen, while white smoke means a pope has been elected.
The pontiff had been due to attend World Youth Day in July in Rio de Janeiro; by then his successor will have been named and will presumably make the trip.
Benedict himself raised the possibility of resigning if he were simply too old or sick to continue on, when he was interviewed in 2010 for the book "Light of the World."
"If a pope clearly realizes that he is no longer physically, psychologically and spiritually capable of handling the duties of his office, then he has a right, and under some circumstances, also an obligation to resign," Benedict said.
The former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger had an intimate view as Pope John Paul II, with whom he had worked closely for nearly a quarter-century, suffered through the debilitating end of his papacy.
The announcement took the Vatican — and the rest of the world — by surprise.
Several cardinals on Monday didn't even understand what Benedict had said during the consistory, said the Rev. Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman said. Others who did were stunned.
"All the cardinals remained shocked and were looking at each other," said Monsignor Oscar Sanchez of Mexico who was in the room when Benedict made his announcement.
Benedict was born April 16, 1927 in Marktl Am Inn, in Bavaria, but his father, a policeman, moved frequently and the family left when he was 2.
In his memoirs, Benedict dealt what could have been a source of controversy had it been kept secret — that he was enlisted in the Nazi youth movement against his will when he was 14 in 1941, when membership was compulsory. He said he was soon let out because of his studies for the priesthood. Two years later he was drafted into a Nazi anti-aircraft unit as a helper. He deserted the German army in April 1945, the waning days of the war.
He called it prophetic that a German followed a Polish pope — with both men coming from such different sides of World War II.
Benedict was ordained, along with his brother, in 1951. After spending several years teaching theology in Germany, he was appointed bishop of Munich in 1977 and elevated to cardinal three months later by Pope Paul VI.
John Paul named him leader of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 1981 and he took up his post a year later. Following John Paul's death in 2005, he was elected pope April 19 in one of the fastest conclaves in history, just about 24 hours after the voting began.

Social Security: Maximizing Benefits
Most understand that waiting to claim Social Security benefits can result in higher monthly payments. However, many don't know that there are other ways to maximize their benefits, some of which depend on their marital status.
Understanding the strategies for maximizing your Social Security retirement income benefits should be prefaced with a review of the three basic forms of retirement benefits:
- The Worker Benefit: This is the benefit you receive based on your own personal earnings history and for which you become eligible after 40 quarters of work.
- The Spousal Benefit: This is the benefit paid to your spouse. For non-working spouses, this is 50% of the working spouse's benefit. For working spouses, it is the greater of the benefit earned from his or her earnings or 50% of the worker's benefit.
- The Survivor Benefit: This is the benefit paid to the surviving spouse, which is paid at a rate equal to the greater of his or her own current benefit or, depending on the widow or widower's age, up to 100 % of the deceased spouse's current benefit.1
The first and most obvious strategy for maximizing your Social Security benefit is to simply wait to reach age 70 before beginning to take benefits. By waiting until age 70 to receive benefits, your monthly payments may increase by 24%, not including any cost of living increases that may be added to this amount.2
Benefit Maximization Strategies for Widows and Widowers
Remember, there is no spousal benefit for a widow/widower, but he or she does qualify for a survivor benefit that is equal to 100% of the deceased spouse's benefit (versus the 50% spousal benefit if the working spouse is still alive). This survivor benefit is available at age 60 or even earlier, depending on the widow/widower's disability status and whether or not they are caring for a child.1
If you are widowed and also have worked for 40 quarters, you will have a worker benefit and a survivor benefit. This presents you with several choices. One choice is to file for the benefit that provides you with the greatest monthly benefit amount.
Another choice may be to start your worker benefit at age 62 and then switch to the survivor benefit once you reach full retirement age. This option is advantageous in instances where the widowed spouse did not accumulate the same level of benefits as the deceased spouse. Choosing this option allows the surviving spouse to take the higher survivor benefit amount. Because there are no delayed retirement credits earned on survivor benefits, there is no advantage to waiting past full retirement age to apply for survivor benefits.3
A final choice is to consider starting the survivor benefit at age 60 and then switching to your own worker benefit at age 70. This strategy allows you to begin receiving income based on the survivor benefit as early as possible and provides you time to build up the maximum worker benefit.
As you can see, there are ways you can potentially raise your Social Security benefits. These strategies can help you maximize your benefits beyond what is available to those who simply delay retirement to age 70.

ResearchPublicationsToruń cosmology group publication list - cosmology | OCRA publicationsShape of the UniverseIs the Universe finite or infinite (video)? Scientific models of the Universe are intended to satisfy the Einstein equation, which, roughly speaking, states that curvature = density and that mass density curves space. The models allow many different sorts of spaces, which have the local property called a metric (a sort of rule for locally measuring distances, that determines curvature) and have global properties that define them, such as topology. Global topology can be measured by multiple imaging or by topological acceleration. Together curvature and topology can be described as shape. The metric of the standard Universe model has many parameters such as the Hubble parameter, the baryon density parameter, the baryonic and non-baryonic dark matter density parameter , and the dark energy parameter . This standard model is oversimplified: it assumes that for the chosen separation of spacetime into space and time coordinates, the Universe is the same everywhere (homogeneous) in space at a given time coordinate.Density fluctuations and galaxy formationBut the Universe is not perfectly the same everywhere in space - even when the Universe was just a few hundred thousand years old, some regions were more dense and some were less dense. The more dense regions eventually collapsed under their own weight, via gravity, and formed galaxies, stars, and planets. These fluctuations are not just interesting for galaxy formation, they are also useful for measuring the curvature of space. Density fluctuations on the smaller scales (up to about 1 Mpc, a few million light-years) collapsed gravitationally, forming galaxy clusters and galaxies in which stars and planets formed. Comparing observations of galaxies and galaxy clusters to the cosmic microwave background and separating the two effects was a major theme of the observational aspects of the OCRA program using our 32m radio telescope. Upcoming major survey projects in which Toruń astronomers are involved include the Rubin Observatory (TorunLSST) and 4MOST (Torun4MOST).Cosmological BackreactionDuring the epoch of galaxy formation, the Universe switched from nearly homogeneous to very inhomogeneous, so a more accurate metric is needed, according to which mass density is allowed to curve space. With more accurate modelling, "dark energy" is not needed (video), and instead seems to be a misinterpretation of the epoch of structure formation if inhomogeneous curvature is ignored in interpreting observations. The corresponding inhomogeneous metric can be measured using the shift in the baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) peak location recently discovered by TCfA cosmologists together with international colleagues. |

Common Auto Injury Symptoms
In the car crash patients we see in our Loudonville, OH chiropractic office, the most common symptom reported is neck pain. During a crash, the head is often whipped around violently and that can easily injure the cervical spine. However, Dr. Robert Berry works with many auto injury patients, and has years of experience diagnosing and treating these cases. Even a "minor" crash can result in serious injury, like ligament sprains. This can lead to chronic pain and disability if not treated properly. In fact, research shows that early treatment is the best way to prevent long-term symptoms. Chiropractic adjustments are effective because they help restore the healthy, normal function of yourRead More →

Covariance models (CMs), as defined by Sean Eddy, do not reward insertions of valid base-pairs or complete sub-structures relative to the one consensus secondary structure. Nevertheless, some families, e. g. tRNA, contain minorities with additional informative sub-structures, which are crashed by the majority during formation of one consensus secondary structure.
Ambivalent Covariance Models (aCMs) are our prototypic suggestion to extend CMs with more than one consensus structure.
