My lips get seasonal dry this time of year and no lip balms or creams seam to help. I applied this oil in the evening and woke up the next morning with soft lips. A great product and a fab reliever :-)

I really like it. High concentration, which I wanted. But this is easily spreadable. I need it for a large area where i was radiated/have mastectomy scars, so I mix it with Now Foods, 100% Natural Coconut Oil - working really well. Note that it is already cut with olive oil, I am assuming that it is still high concentrate. Dropper works, I guess, to get it out of the bottle, but the dropper is coated in it, so it's still messy. Good prince.

I use this to moisturize my face and my skin is feeling softer each and everyday. Vit. E oil is known for clearing up discolorations so I have been seeing minuscule improvements with my skin.

This oil contains the form of vitamin E that is best absorbed into skin. The Vitamin E factor book says that alpha tocopherol ACETATE or SUCCINATE should be avoided with oils and creams as the body can't use them properly.

PC is aprox 4.5 yrs, self built with intel i7 Quad core processor, win 7 pro OS, 2 optical drives, 4 HDs and 12GB of RAM. Motherboard is Asus P266 I think. A few days ago, PC would not boot. Lights on the case was on and nothing else. Soft reboot, it came to life and identified 'new' hard ware including a floppy drive (A drive) which was never installed. It went away and updated drivers. Earlier this evening, it again refused to reboot. Soft and hard reboots did not start it. Opened the case and checked connections, all ok. Reseated the sticks of RAM. Would not reboot. Pressed the reset button on the motherboard, it came to life. No messages, the A drive is still there.
Grateful for any explations to the puzzle.
In the meantime, have a very Happy, Healthy and Prospers New Year fr 2013.
Have you an image of the drive from when you first set it up? If so I'd reinstall that I do it fairly often with my work machines as they get a beating over time and I find the reinstall is a fresh start they need.
I think your CMOS battery is dead, BIOS has reverted to failsafe defaults (hence A drive etc.) If you don't know how to replace the battery and reconfigure the BIOS it's a fairly easy job for a computer repair person.
Quote: I think your CMOS battery is dead, BIOS has reverted to failsafe defaults (hence A drive etc.)
That was my thought but I wasn't sure - in failsafe mode would it assume the presence of a floppy drive rather than trying to detect one?
Quote: I think your CMOS battery is dead, BIOS has reverted to failsafe defaults (hence A drive etc.)
I think that you're right Chris.
My machine began attempting to boot from a floppy drive that doesn't exist a little while ago.
A new battery sorted it out. Dead easy to put right too.
In fact, I think that it may have been you that suggested it.
The PC failed to boot on both occassions. The first time, when it booted, it 'saw' the floppy, looked for and found drivers for a non existant device. The second time earlier today, it rebooted after pressing the reset button on the motherboard. No messages. Not really consistant with a duff battery. A failing battery would generate a message or a kind of 'beep'?
Quote: A failing battery would generate a message or a kind of 'beep'?
Mine didn't.
The machine just began attempting to boot from the non-existent floppy drive.
You may have to go into your bios and tell your PC where to boot, normally "C" drive. My PC is down and would not boot. I had an engineer out, who actually built it. I´m still waiting to get it up and running after 2 months! First, check your bios battery, then your boot order, then your power supply, using a meter to check the power is OK. After that, remove your RAM and see if you get a beep warning. Then your various other plug-ins. If that fails it could be your motherboard or your CPU. Intel supplied me with a brand new 980 Extreme, which originally cost me 800 pounds for free. This has not rectified my problem, which leaves the motherboard. Oh, and how much fun have I had with this! Asus Rampage III Extreme. There´s not a computer shop in the UK who has one in stock! I have been in touch with both Intel and Gigabyte as well, to try and get a replacement board and guess what? None of them seem that bothered if I purchase one or not. They build them, but they will not sell them to an individual, only a reseller, but yet again, there´s no resellers in the UK with a motherboard I require!!!! Living inTenerife makes it even more difficult, as the computer stores will not ship to a individual over here because of the tax situation. The guy who built my PC and who shipped in the parts originally does not seem all that interested. I´ve asked another guy out here if he can help and he does not seem interested either. So, you think you have a problem!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds to me like your BIOS chip is on the blink. These are quite easily replaced, provided you can get the Bios chip for your motherboard and you use the right tool for the job.
My wife used to teach the computer technicians course at the local college before she retired and she created a website to aid her teaching.
This link will take you to the relevant part of her site.
Hope this helps.
Edited to say:
Google 'Beep codes' for your motherboard. These codes will tell you what is failing on your POST. (Power On Self Test). Your type of motherboard will be shown when you first switch on the computer.
There is some information on Beeps codes here for the AMI and Award bios. Look under PDF handouts.
Bear in mind that these are now quite old and you will need to search for the latest beep codes.
Just spoken to the wife and she agrees it could very well be your bios. Her advice is to buy another motherboard that supports your processor, RAM and drives.
Again, hope this helps.

Out of the Clear Blue Sky (2012)
The most popular movies among NYTimes.com readers.
1 Readers' Reviews
September 15th, 201311:59 am
Saw the film last night and I felt that it did an excellent job of telling the facts, using the timeline for the sequence of events as they unfolded. It was overwhelming and devastating -- our theater offered a Q&A afterwards and no one could speak. At times it was very difficult to watch, but I am glad I saw it for the clarification and knowledge of the story. Here in central NJ many family members were lost, so the story was quite personal.
Howard Lutnick is neither a saint nor a villian, but a hard-working, intelligent man who was dealing with circumstances beyond our compehension. He seemed to be in shock for much of the period right after the attacks...crying on TV and and speaking and reacting slowly. His focus on keeping the company running makes perfect sense in retrospect but at the time seemed crass and uncaring. Of course he was right: with no company there would be no money. Mr. Egan, in particular, impressed me as someone who tried to wait for the facts rather than reacting to immediate rumors and emotion....and if he can trust Howard, then so can the rest of us.
Amazing that the 10-years-health- benefits promise is actually up already...and here's hoping that survivors and family members have sufficient resources to take care of themselves at this point.

Opening: William Eggleston @ Gagosian Gallery, Beverly HillsJuxtapoz // Thursday, 27 Sep 2012
William Eggleston is a photographer that triumphs capturing the everyday (influenced by the greats that shortly preceded him like Henry Cartier-Bresson who coined the term "the decisive moment"). In this exhibition of photographs from the Los Alamos series, Eggleston captured his immediate surroundings while driving across the United States between 1966 and 1974. Simple moments like a collection of dolls adorning the hood of a Cadillac dominate the frame with exuberant personality and implied narrative.Tightly cropping banal, everyday moments Eggleston heightens his subjects to something more peculiar and profound, turning his daily observations into poetic expressions of the mysterious and strange details that rush by at all times. Eggleston holds a prominent place in contemporary art, often credited with validating color photography as a proper fine art form. The exhibition opens this Thursday evening at Gagosian's Beverly Hills gallery. Be sure to check it out.

Untold stories of the civil rights movement:
SPIES OF MISSISSIPPI airs tonight on Independent Lens, PBS.
Interview with director Dawn Porter featuring my graphics - *proud* !
Essential viewing on PBS tomorrow night:
Spies of Mississippi by Dawn Porter
It is the spring of 1964 and the civil rights community is gearing up for Mississippi Freedom Summer. Mostly white student activists from the North are preparing to link up with mostly black freedom workers to accomplish what the Mississippi power structure fears the most: registering black people to vote.
The state's entrenched white power structure are ready to fight back.
A long hot Mississippi summer is about to explode.
A film by Dawn Porter.
Aww Yeah. The Best of Both Worlds!
So here's the deal:
I'm doing a SFW, SF-Friends-and-Family version called "Some Days You Just Have To Dress Up As A Cow"
The main version, complete with this dude nude and some other shots with 'tude will be called "Fake It 'Til You Make It", and that will be made available on this blog…
…but not just yet. You'll know when they are good to go and where to order them.
Oh! OH YAY! A book is about to be born!! It's a good day!

I think the powerfully suggestive lyrics "can't get … out of my head" should be banned. At least from choruses.

Last Asda Shop: NYE 2013 to cache a few essentials before New Year's Closed Day.
And lo, on my last visit to Asda, I was ID-ed.
I gave the cusp-of-40ish cashier a look that I like to think conveyed "C'mon sister, I'm buying eggs, spuds and ale. Grown up stuff; don't mess with me." But it only took her the briefest re-appraisal to agree on my age as I said it. I resisted an urge to protest and took the beer.
Today, Jan 2nd, required tools as well as victuals.
So I set off to North Street, merrily thinking I'd hit plenty birds with just the one rock. Minutes later I was crestfallen to discover my local chock-full indy hardware shop-keeper had as much idea what a "shave hook" was as I'd had half an hour earlier before my boyfriend explained it. Shrugging, she said she couldn't tell me if she had one, or if she did, where it might be. At least in Screwfix they can bloody look it up, I thought. Happily, I found it in seconds on the rack nearest the counter - about 2ft from the good lady's face.
Then, disappointed at the Deli. No loo-roll! Travesty! (They normally sell loo-roll; obviously if this were strictly a vegetables-stuffed-with-animals or vice-versa sort of establishment, that'd be fine and I wouldn't expect top hats or dumbells or DAB radios either, but they do sell basic cleaning of self and home stuffs). Furthermore, despite a glut of short-dated 2-litre bottles of milk, clearly out of favour even in the absence of any half-sized siblings and unlikely to attract sufficient attention in the remaining two days of their lives, they offered no discount.
I decided however, in my infinite wisdom, that these are but minor and human shortcomings; of which actually I have plenty, not least forgetfulness. The deli guy came after me with the rice crackers I'd abandoned on the counter, and the hardware lady, though I interrupted her text conversation on my return, knew exactly where the radiator keys were.
Oh and I sawed a kitchen roll in half with a bread knife: instant loo-roll, ta-daa.
(Lion Stores, Southville Deli)
I know the title sounds like a no-brainer. I mean Exclusively Locally.
I just went through last year's bank statements.
Last year I banned myself from shopping at Tesco -there are 3 within spoon-throwing distance of my abode so I'm pleased to have mostly succeeded… But I think I've unwittingly redirected my cash toward Asda/Wallmart.
So this year I think it's local only.
Maybe ban Amazon too.
And eBay.
Now I'm immediately trying to weedle out of that thinking it'll be Far Too Hard. But that's ridiculous, right? Hard is …not having fresh water within 5 miles of your house, or bringing up kids on below-minimum wage, or being evicted from a shed by some twat from Eton who apparently never read the Nativity story, or the massive contraction of all world economies and death of physical and local exchange resulting in total human isolation and exploitation. Those things would be hard.
I realise I'm discussing several issues at once here but the point is I don't have any excuses.
(Though I expect the insistence of most local shops to close as soon as people finish work will become a problem).
Anyway we'll see.
Independent crafters are undervaluing their products; selling at a loss means we all lose.
Today I overheard someone at a craft market saying she makes no profit from her goods -they'd never sell if she charged the real price. She does it "just for fun, 'cause she "has a job anyway". Another woman was selling tin-can lanterns that require at least an hour of time and 50p worth of electricity, water, wire, can, and tools, for one English Pound. Even if she values her time at minumum wage, this woman is donating £7 to each of her "customers."
I get it; I under-price too. First, because I enjoy design and craft, so I'm prepared to work for less; second because I know we're used to Ikea pricetags, so I feel like I have to charge less, and third because I have a few strings to my work-bow too, so I can charge less. But there's a limit!
I sell my VHS Dual Timezone clocks for £39 (plug) and I agonised over pricing. But making one takes over a day, plus paint and parts; I'm charging half what it should be. So yes, I expect £20 would get me more sales, but I'm not going to do that, because there's a responsibility here, surely?
I'm betting the workers in Chinese sleep-in factories don't have many subsidised crafty side-projects on the go, so I don't think that's a model we should be trying to compete with.
Perhaps the tin-can lady intended her lanterns as a loss-leader, but what if someone else had arrived with mostly tin-can lanterns to sell? Please let's not adopt cut-throat corporate tactics; we don't have the economies of scale to cope, and we should have the heart not to.
If you deliberately sell at a loss, you're letting the companies that pay shit wages in China set the price bar. Perpetuating the misconception that labour is low value means it will become less viable to ever make a living from independent production. Eventually, the only option will be to "have a job"- ie. work for a corporation, make money for companies who already have loads of money, doing something we are less connected to, less in control of, and find less rewarding.
I'm not saying be greedy; this is - obviously - a planet of finite resources. But don't sell at a loss! And if you're torn between two price brackets, have the confidence to go with the one that best reflects the value of your labour. Otherwise we're complicit in the system that undervalues it.
We must charge a fair price or we are selling ourselves and everyone else short.

April Monthly Meeting on Czech Nymphing with Steve Parrott. Special Guest Dave Sweet on the Yellowstone Lake Cutthroat.
Posted in Conservation by Mike Myers Comments Off
Steve will be giving an in-depth presentation on the Czech Nymphing method with rigging instructions, fly placement and ideal waters to fish. The presentation will be at the normal meeting place, South Metro Denver Realtors Association, at 7:00pm, doors open at 6:30pm.
Czech Nymphing, also referred to as European Nymphing, is a style of nymph fishing that is readily catching on here in the United States, especially in Colorado. It is a very effective technique that is perfectly suited for the many fast waters of our state. This style of short line nymph fishing often uses longer rods, no yarn or foam strike indicators and a level construction designed to get your heavily weighted flies, often three, down to the bottom quickly. All of the weight used in a Czech Nymph rig is added to the flies themselves not the leader.
Steve has spent the last 12 years researching and experimenting with the Czech, French and Spanish Nymphing methods also referred to as the European Methods. Steve is a veteran of the industry with over 17 years of experience guiding clients all over the globe. Steve moved to Colorado in 2006 and has since focused his efforts on learning every facet of the European Nymphing Methods and sharing these through instructional classes and DVD's. Steve is also co-owner of the Blue Quill Angler Fly Shop in Evergreen, Colorado.
Dave Sweet on the Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Populations.
Dave Sweet, Yellowstone Lake Project Manager for the Wyoming Council of Trout Unlimited, will present on the devastation being caused to Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout populations in Yellowstone National Park by Lake trout. There is hope and Dave will outline an aggressive plan to help bring back the native cutthroat trout!

"We were so excited to see these and were more than pleased when we got them. They are perfect for our family since we are all natives to city by the bay. Thank you Tiny Prints for representing our wonderful corner of the world!"
"Just what I wanted for a return label in terms of size and print quality. Super fast production and delivery. Would absolutely order again."
"An elegant (but unfussy) return label. Really love the size of the label (much nicer than the "freebies" we all receive). Will definitely reorder this item."
"The product was very pretty, i liked that i could customize the color and the text. These are gret labels for any occasion. I would recommend them to anyone."
"If you are getting the matching card, DO get these return address labels. We found a cute picture of our baby girl sleeping and it fit perfectly in the bubble. Such a nice way to complete your invites/cards and gives it that extra final touch. I'm so glad we spent a bit more on the labels.... everyone commented on them!"

The new series, which begins next month, will highlight the dangers posed by businesses using franchising terminology, in an attempt to help prospective franchisees make better decisions when exploring new commercial opportunities.
Furthermore, the bfa has taken part in a new series for Sky's Showcase channel, which will explore the various aspects of investing in a franchise.

Christian Plays scripts drama sermon illustrations
Scripts for Christian plays and drama description
Christian plays create "an evening at the theater,"
A vibrant theater outreach program serves as a magnet to attract your community to your church campus, where they will (hopefully) return to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ.
These full-length plays range in topics from Christmas plays (that can be done with or without music), to sexual abstinence programs for youth, to children's outreach in the public schools, as well as hilarious comedies to be enjoyed in a dinner theater setting.
We've created a separate website for this stirring journey through the life of Christ. The play is excellent for community outreach or family ministry.
This captivating musical drama introduces five original songs by the accomplished writer, composer, and arranger, Keith Ward. In addition to the sweeping grandeur of his original music, Keith reintroduces four familiar hymns of the church with fresh arrangements that usher the audience into a time of personal, emotional connection with the timeless story of the passion of Jesus Christ.
This awe-inspiring production gives the audience time to think, time to feel, and time to react emotionally to the phenomenal miracle of God becoming man, then dying to redeem humanity, His greatest treasure.

Via: USA Today, Techcrunch | News Archive | Tags: Samsung, Apple, Patent, Misc, stocks
LOL, "The only money Apple is losing today is on its champagne and confetti budget."
Everyone rags on apple but its quite funny how they do so well. Don't get me wrong I will never buy an apple PC. What you get for the money doesn't compare to a windows pc. I will buy their iPhones, iPads, and iPods though. Yea, they lack some innovation features from android devices but the AppStore is what makes me keep coming back to those devices. But hey that's just me...
LOL, this war never end!
Forrest Gump gets richer every year it seems. :P
$1 Billion - Champagne + Confetti = basically $1 Billion
hahaha astute observation. I told you that the impact would be greater than you thought it would. You made it sound like samsung was just going to shake it off and keep walking but their down 7.5% on top of their billion dollar fine and they will probably lose income from having to pull products off the shelf.
I have said some unfavorable things about samsung and their, less then stellar business habits bu i have to hand it to them, they make some good products. I was sorely tempted to buy the galaxy note but i am going to wait and compare the note 2 with the ipad mini.
Glad to have no stocks in Samsung
@Above: Glad to have stocks in Apple :P
This is so unfortunate
It would be interesting to see what Steve Jobs would have said to this whole affair
This is just wrong and unfair
Scumbag Apple
12 Billion ... Staggering
Stockholders should have been wiser..
Who said crime doesn't pay :P
Well, if Samsung did wrong than it deserved to have the ruling upheld. I think they will be ok tho. HTC needs to quit putting out so many devices tho.
I meant as in how come Apple gets away with it.
This will only help fuel samsung to a better mmore innovative product and later crush apple to a juice and then drink it and then yoi know what happens when you drink too much.
Crush Apple to a Juice?
You've been smoking too many Apple Peels.
Their stock keeps going up and up. It has been for a long time. They're the most valuable company out there.
I'm no fan of Apple, but it seems that Jobs wasn't the only one with a ~"reality distortion field"~ to look through,.......
sir i do not smoke. and why apple stocks should be going down id due to the fact that they are hitting a brick wall right now and they dont evem know it. meaning iphony 5 will be a flop. R&D team generated this idea of shrinking the ipad a calling it the ipad mini which gets its own debut whay brilliance innovation that is.why get that mini when you can get a phablet , what are you going to cary both mini and a phone on both pockets? hajaj funny. what else are the going to release? hmmmm apple tv? (laughs)

(laughs)
and also next year samsung will come out with the newly designed s4. and by the way google is now breaking its silence and now suing apple and getting their products out of the us. since they acquire motorolo not to long gago in whuch in my opinion is one of the pioneer of mobile device have all the patents backing them. eye for aan eye apple. so thats about it kind sir.
Good, you'll live longer.
Really? Ha-Ha! So stocks that keep going higher and higher (Apple is at an all time high right now) is a brick wall? Oh, I see,..............
I have to admit that I'm not much for paying the Apple tax when I buy devices. Their stuff costs too much for me to consider buying and some of their practices towards their competition suck.
You really seem to hate them though,.....it shows in all of your posts about them.
Is it easy to ignore the fact that they sell so much product for so much profit?
Does the fact that they're the most profitable company out there, and worth more than any company in the world matter to you?
You don't have any objectivity when it comes to Apple, but then again, it's not required, is it?
it is not indeed they may have a higher than before stock but its not going to be long before it goes down. thats all im saying. and yes PC>Apple. whether its ipod ipad iphony wont buy em at all reason that is they are a bunch of crooks. innovation? hahahah my cute bum
Apple isn't even close to hitting a brick wall. Apple has some of the most loyal customers out there. Apple can just upgrade the specs of their new phone and write it off as new and innovative and make a butt load of money. I know many people who dont even think about looking at other phones before upgrading to a new iphone.

Pets in Strange Places
...he pulled back the shower curtain and found Birdy perched on the windowsill. This photo will forever be a favorite (note: Birdy does not do this at her own house).
We'd love to hear about the out-of-the-ordinary spots where your pets hide, chill, sleep....

Ha! I always leave my cat sitter a long list of the places my cats might hide while I'm away - in my sweater shelves, under the bed, under the covers on the bed, in the bookshelf, in the bathtub, the list goes on and on!
Our old cat, who is a sweetheart to us but chases guests and extended family alike, sleeps under the covers on our bed during the day, even when it's hot. We've made it a habit to check carefully before sitting down because she's so small you can barely see her little covers lump. And when we do sit down, you can hear her purring under the there.
My cat. In a basket of towels on top of a cabinet in the bathroom. Between the layers of my blankets (I've accidentally sat on him). In a crawlspace above the kitchen (I was mystified as to how exactly he managed to disappear, then re-materialize on the other side of the room before I saw him up there, staring down at me like Ceiling Cat).
looks sunny in there, i'll bet thats why he was in there!
Many mornings I wake up ad see the silhouette of my dog on the window shade, he likes to crawl onto the window sill and catch some morning sun if I am not awake yet. Dogs love sitting in the sun.
I'm loving everything about this post: the story itself, the cute dog, plus the cool yellow tub and shower curtain, slate (?) bath tiles, and interesting window!
Aw, is Birdy a German Shorthair Pointer? Those are the best dogs ever.
One of my cats has managed to tunnel through the bottom of my boxspring, and likes to nap up there. I guess I should be grateful that all four don't get up there...
My cat likes my dresser drawers, preferably on top of clean folded sheets or tshirts. She also likes to jump from the counter to the fridge to the tops of the high shelves and perch up there in the kitchen. She also has also perched on top of an open bathroom door but getting up there but then she has problems getting down.
Oops. take away the 'but getting up there' part.
My white cat, up the chimney.
Oh, I was just reminded of a former roomie's cat. We had an old, beaten-up armchair that had a hole in the bottom. He'd slink beneath the chair's skirt, then crawl up and inside to nap. When she moved out, it took four people to get her cat out of the chair: her two brothers picked up and shook the chair while we reached into the hole to haul him out. That was fun!
My rabbit inside my animation table. Took 2 straight hours of searching!
Dogs are sooooo cute!
Me, too, love this post and the stories of hiding spots. My cat loves to just find a new spot somewhere and watch me go looking for her, then I spot her, congratulate her on her ingenuity and she purrs like a fire engine. She likes to go under the covers infrequently and when she does I'll make the bed and put pillows on the bed, trying to even out the mysterious lumpy spot, unwittingly, until I hear a meow and an indignant cat jump out.
Most favorite I think are the just washed anything: clothes, sheets, bed spread and any new boxes.
Beautiful photo, beautiful Birdy.
Once I freaked out because I could not find my dachshund anywhere in the house. I was already in tears when I saw a little lump on the edge of the bed. Turns out he had unbuttoned the duvet, climbed inside and nestled into a corner for a nap.
My little Tildy-Cat has a bizarre habit of dashing into cupboards and getting shut in them. 20 minutes later we'll hear pitiful scratching and find her looking sheepish amongst the canned goods.
And this post comes at a very strange time- it's so hot in our upstairs apartment that we jumped ship and moved in with my parents. We took the cat along, and she acclimated just fine... until a scuffle occurred between my parents' dogs and a rather nasty neighbor dog on our front porch. The kitty was naturally terrified of all the noise and hid. My poor mom searched for an hour and thought for sure that she had lost her- until she found her in a basket on top of the built-in cabinets in her living room. Poor Matilda refused to get down for 8 hours (she just sat there glaring at my mom) until I came home and rescued her.
I have two cats and one loves going underneath the covers. I keep forgetting and always sit on her. One day I decided to change the bed linens and flicked her out of the bed by pulling the sheet. She was shocked but ok.
My eldest cat, Chibi-chan, would hide at my parents house by going up on top of the armoir the TV was in and sleeping in the decorative basket Mom had up there. She also once meowed her way out of a closet I swear had not been opened at all that day.
I once spent hours searching for my cat. I was so puzzled, I even checked the hallway in my apartment complex. Finally, I found her sleeping in one of my bathroom drawers. How she got in there? I am really not sure. :)
My Rot takes every opportunity to get up on the window sil! He is not a small dog and usually falls off. He also wedges himself under our platform bed, it is like Pooh getting stuck in Rabbit's hole!
My French Bulldog, Henry, likes to unzip the storage compartment on the underside of the sofa. He's now learned that when it is fully unzipped he can crawl up inside and lounge in it like a hammock. It took forever to find him the first time it happened, but I saw his little paw peeking out. He has tons of crazy antics. Here he is in all his glory . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRI6CtnPkz4
My cat, Gus, who's actually a girl (long story:) LOVES any contained spaces... boxes, suitcases, cupboards, drawers. Every time I open this tall pantry cupboard in my kitchen she jumps in. If I can't find her, its usually because I closed the cupboard door on her unknowingly.
And then there's her persistent habit of running into the bathroom after me and jumping up on the sink to drink out of the faucet. But, that's another topic.
my story needed a picture to accompany it: http://tr.im/vmQP
Kermit (the Dog) is 7 years old and is terrified of thunder, fireworks, etc. He used to just go into the dark mudroom for safety, but recently he found a way to actually climb into one of the shoe cubbies. While not the biggest dog, he is definitely not limber, and it is still a mystery to us how he gets in there without knocking out any shoes.
my boyfriend's cat likes to get onto the uppermost shelves in the closet for his naps.
My two prefer to be where ever I want them least (on top of the laundry-way up high tucked away in some shelves, on my boyfriend's t-shirts, you name it. Still I love them both and they are worth the occasional aggravation or hide and seek adventure.
I love the picture of the Birdie!
@Abra_cat -One of my cats like to do this as well-I learned (two box springs ago) to place a fitted sheet on the box spring (it should be facing the floor) as a way to prevent this.
Linus, our Jack Russell/Dachshund, loves to spend time in my closet. It always leads to an endless variety of R.Kelly - Trapped in the Closet jokes.
I have a cat, Woody, that loves to find new places to hide out from the family - he usually perches on top of the small cupboards above our refrigerator for a nap. He did that so much that we put a small blanket up there for him.
Woody's best hiding spot to date?
One day when the neighbors were replacing windows in the basement, he managed to jump down there... what he didn't know was that no one currently lived in the house and thus, they would not free him. Now we are quite used to Woody disappearing for hours or sometimes even overnight, as he loves to walk around town at night, but he went missing for almost three months & we had no idea where he was or if he was even alive.
Finally, one of the owners of the house stopped by to check on things and told us that there were animal droppings in the basement and asked if there were any way that we could go down there and check it out, as they were in a rush and had to leave town again. Dutifully, we went over there and lurked around the basement... and then we saw him. It took about 30 minutes to coax our scared and starving cat out, but we got him and he was rail thin, but otherwise fine.
Our lab mix Abbie loves to nap behind a curtain underneath the stairwell. It's nice and cool for her, I guess.
Cats? Any and everywhere. We've given over the floor of the linen closet to their beds, and they also like to crawl onto the lowest shelf, but there are dozens of possible spaces in this place.
My dog, a Sheltie named Arwen, has a strong denning instinct and likes to sandwich herself between two smooth surfaces. She usually winds up between the layers of coffee tables (sleeping on a lower shelf under the upper surface), or on the lowest shelf of a bookshelf if it's left open to her. In the case of the coffee and side tables, she will wriggle into spaces that seem impossibly small in relation to her body.
Ginger, my Sheltie who passed away in April, would turn up in the strangest places during thunderstorms. Once she wedged herself between the toilet and the wall. Another time we spent an hour calling her and looking for her, only to find her in the couch - she'd dug her way under the cushions and throw pillows and was pretty much inside it. She's turned up in the shower a few times.
If Cat can't be found, he's in one of two places - the linen cupboard on the towels, or in the 'crawlspace' off of my closet, at which point he's pretty much in Narnia.
My new dog, Jackson, terrified me one night, as I found myself at eye level with him. He was standing on top of our chest freezer. I still have no idea how he got up there, as he is not a large dog.
As a kid, I had a cat named Necco - he loved to sleep on top of a stack of towels on a shelf in the bathroom. We had to get used to never using the top one since half of us were allergic to him. He also loved to jump in the dryer after it was done running to nap - weird cat.
My mom's dogs will hide anywhere - under a recliner, behind and underneath the couch, behind a door, etc. Just think of anywhere you could hide at that small and you might be able to find one.
My almost mother-in-law's cat loves to hide in the closet. She's accidentally got shut in several times. She also loves to hide on top of cabinets. If she doesn't like you, she'll hide under something and literally growl at you - don't ask me how a cat can growl - LOL.
Birdy is such a good name for a dog, as is Chicken the Chihuahua I saw in Brooklyn last weekend and Rambo my future pug.
My cat Anna used to like to hang out in the tub, after you took a shower, it was kinda gross but there was no stopping her. My mom's dog Ty randomly naps on the dining table, which is also gross, but he is a very sneaky devil.
Messi, one of my bunnies, loves to hang out behind the toilet. He scrunches himself into a ball and naps there for hours. Cricket, my Jardine's parrot, is an escape artist. Whenever she gets out of her cage, she makes a beeline for the kitchen. If I notice her cage is empty but the door is still closed, that's the first place I look for her. Her food is now kept in locking jars in the highest cupboard the kitchen has to offer.
Our kittens haven't had that much time to get creative, but so far we've found them in my Fiance's sock drawer, sleeping in the shower, on the kitchen chair (under the table, and impossible to see), and their favorite: the laundry basket. I feel bad tossing clothes in there now! about half the time, I hit a kitten.
I love that Birdy has her crazy pants on at the sitter's house!!!
My cat Albert loves to hide behind the toilet in the morning. He'll wait till i start brushing my teeth...and then he attacks my ankle and then runs away. The rest of the time he never hides...just lays in whatever spot will get him the most attention (or at least whatever spot will be least convinient for everyone else). He's a bit of a spaz...
mazzy, my 12 yr-old lab mix, used to sleep under my bed every night. when she woke-up in the morning, as far under the bed as she could be, she'd thump her tail against the hardwood floor to wake me up...and thus began the "mazzy-towing" morning ritual. in the meantime, my other dog, sam, would be in all his tail-wagging, eye-smiling, butt-wiggling glory just waiting for his best friend to arrive. when i finally got her highness out into the open, it was a mini-lovefest!
ps-they sleep in the living room now. :0)
My 80 pound labrador-Chow mix sleeps in the bathtub. I find it so weird. I regularly accidentally turn the shower on him in the mornings while I'm still half asleep.
My cat Flounder loves to sleep/hide behind our toilet, partially hidden by the shower curtain. He doesn't attack us or anything, I think he just likes hearing the water run through the pipes and the metallic sound that's created when he delicately noms on the plumbing. :) (Though sometimes he accidently shuts the bathroom door on himself, so if I haven't seen him for a few hours, I go see if he's trapped in the bathroom...)
Our cats hide *inside* the couch... between and under the cushions. Or they will tuck themselves between the wall and the back (the fabric gives enough to fit a cat body). Our old bed had a box spring they clawed a hole in and they would hide up inside when they were kittens... super hard to sleep with them bouncing around in there *sigh.*

CIOs and IT managers agree that memory is emerging as a critical resource constraint in the data center for both economic and operational reasons. Regardless of density, memory is not a shareable resource across the data center. In fact, new servers are often purchased to increase memory capacity, rather than to add compute power. While storage capacity and CPU performance have advanced geometrically over time, memory density and storage performance have not kept pace. Data center architects refresh servers every few years, over-provision memory and storage, and are forced to bear the costs of the associated space, power and management overhead. The result of this inefficiency has been high data center costs with marginal performance improvement.
Memory: Where Are We?
Business-critical applications demand high performance from all network resources to derive value out of the ever-increasing volume of data. Memory is one of the three key computing resources, along with CPU and storage, which determine overall data center performance. However, memory has lagged far behind the advances of both processors and storage in capacity, price, and performance ratios. While processor vendors assert that data centers are processor-bound and storage vendors imply that data centers are storage-bound, in many cases the true performance barrier is memory. To that end, both a major network vendor and a dominant server vendor have recently made announcements about dramatic increases in the memory footprint of servers to better support data center virtualization.
The major network vendor built their first-ever blade server with custom developed hardware to support a larger memory footprint (up to 384 GB) for one dual-processor blade. This is significantly larger than the 144 GB maximum that is typical in high-end systems. The dominant server vendor enables individual VMs to use more of the local system memory.
Industry Challenges
Memory constraints continue to impact application performance for a number of industries. For example, data for seismic processing of oil and gas extraction, flight and reservation information, or business analytics quickly add up to terabytes, much too large to fit in even large-scale (and expensive) local RAM. These growing data sets create huge performance slowdowns in applications where latency and throughput matter. Multi-core processors are underutilized, waiting for data they can't get fast enough. And, currently available solutions are inefficient and don't entirely solve the problem.
Latency, or the delay in delivering the initial piece of data, is critical to application performance in areas such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, energy, and capital markets. As an example, algorithmic traders can execute hundreds of thousands of trades per day. Twenty-five percent of securities trades are now algorithmic trades - trades initiated by computers in response to market conditions or trading in patterns and sequences that generate profits. These trades leverage trade execution speed to make money, and it's a race to performance. The fastest trading desks will profit most.
Alongside the significant impact of peak performance is the need for certified messaging. Trading data streams must be certified - reliably stored for record keeping and rollback. Current solutions to the trading message problem are difficult to integrate, expensive, and cannot meet the performance requirements of the algorithmic trading desk.
A leading vendor's message bus solution has transaction latencies in the millisecond range, and reaches maximum throughput at close to 5,000 transactions per second. This performance hampers algorithmic trading, and throughput is not enough to meet the peak trading volumes at the opening bell, closing bell, or during market-moving events.
Memory Virtualization - Breaking the Memory Barrier
The introduction of memory virtualization shatters a long-standing and tolerated assumption in data processing - that servers are restricted to the memory that is physically installed. Until now, the data center has been primarily focused on server virtualization and storage virtualization.
Memory virtualization is the key to overcoming physical memory limitations, a common bottleneck in information technology performance. This technology allows servers in the data center to share a common, aggregated pool of memory that lives between the application and operating system. Memory virtualization is logically decoupled from local physical machines and made available to any connected computer as a global network resource.
This technology dramatically changes the price and performance model of the data center by bringing the performance benefits of resource virtualization, while reducing infrastructure costs.
In addition, it eliminates the need for changes to applications in order to take advantage of the pool. This creates a very large memory resource that is much faster than local or networked storage.
Memory virtualization scales across commodity hardware, takes advantage of existing data center equipment, and is implemented without application changes to deliver unmatched transactional throughput. High-performance computing now exists in the enterprise data center on commodity equipment, reducing capital and operational costs.
Memory Virtualization in Action - Large Working Data Set Applications
Memory virtualization reduces hundreds to thousands of reads from storage or databases to one, by making frequently read data available in a cache of virtualized memory with microsecond access speeds. This decreases reliance on expensive load balancers and allows servers to perform optimally even with simple, inexpensive round-robin load balancing by linking into common file system calls or application-level API integration. Any server may contribute RAM into the cache by using a command-line interface or a configuration and management dashboard that sets up and controls the virtualized memory pool through a web-based user interface. Memory virtualization then uses native high-speed fabric integration to move data rapidly between servers.
For applications with large working data sets, larger than will fit in physical memory, such as those found in high-volume Internet, predictive analytics, HPC and oil and gas, memory virtualization brings faster results and improves end-user experiences. In capital markets, memory virtualization delivers the lowest trade execution latencies, includes certified messaging, and integrates simply as demanded in this competitive market.
The associated performance gains relative to traditional storage are huge. NWChem is a computational chemistry application typically deployed in an HPC environment. In a 4 node cluster with a 4 GB / node running NWChem, memory virtualization cut the test run time from 17 minutes down to 6 minutes 15 seconds with no additional hardware, simply by creating an 8 GB cache with 2 GB contributed from each node.
Alternatives Fall Short
Attempts to address these challenges include scaling out (adding servers), over-provisioning (adding more storage or memory than is needed), scaling up (adding memory to existing or larger servers), or even designing software around the current constraints.
Larger data centers draw more power and require more IT staff and maintenance. For example, a 16-server data center with 32 GB RAM/server costs $190,000 in capital and operational expense over two years. Scaling out that data center to 32 servers would double the cost to $375,000 (see Figure 1). Scaling up the servers to 64GB RAM/server would raise the cost to $279,000 (data center costs based on the cost of scaling up a 16-node cluster from 32GB to 64GB per server, and scaling out a 16-node cluster to 32-nodes, two years operational expense).
What does this investment buy you? You get more servers to work on the problem - but performance has not improved significantly because they aren't working together; each server is still working only with its own local memory. By trying to divide and conquer your data set, you've fragmented it. Like fragmented drives, fragmented data sets restrict the flow of data and force data to be replicated across the network. The overhead of drawing data into each server consumes resources that should be focused on one thing - application performance.
By sharing memory, data centers require less memory per server because they have access to a much larger pool of virtualized memory. Memory virtualization also enables fewer servers to accomplish the same level of application performance, meaning less rack space, power consumption, and management staff (see Figure 2).
Additional cache capacity can be added dynamically with no downtime, and application servers can easily connect to virtualized network memory to share and consume data at any time without re-provisioning.
High Availability features eliminate data loss when servers or networks go down by keeping multiple copies of data in the cache and employing persistent writes to comply with certified messaging standards.
In the storage area, SAN and NAS have decoupled storage from computing, but storage is not the place for the active working data set. Storage acceleration can only marginally improve application performance because it connects too far down the stack and is not application-aware (understands state). The millisecond latencies of storage requests are unacceptable bottlenecks for business and mission-critical applications.
In some cases, data center architects have turned to data grids in the search for performance. Data grids impose a high management overhead and performance load and tend to replicate the working data set, rather than truly share it. These solutions are difficult to integrate, debug, and optimize, and remain tightly coupled to your application, reducing flexibility. Architects who have implemented these solutions complain of the "black box" software to which they have tied their applications' performance and disappointing acceleration results.
Memory virtualization has solved the key barrier to increasing the efficiency of existing network resources in order to improve the performance of business-critical applications. This capability decouples the memory from its physical environment, making it a shared resource across the data center or cluster. Addressing today's IT performance challenges, virtualized memory enables new business computing scenarios by eliminating application bottlenecks associated with memory and data sharing. Currently available, memory virtualization is delivering optimized data center utilization, performance and reliability with minimum risk and immediate business results.

New signing Kevin Mirallas made his Everton debut at the weekend and could be handed a first run-out at Goodison Park. Defender Tony Hibbert, who missed Saturday's win at Aston Villa, is David Moyes' only injury concern.
Leyton Orient could hand former QPR winger Lee Cook a debut after he signed a five-month deal with the League One outfit. The O's saw their game against Hartlepool United postponed on Saturday and so could have a fresh squad available for the trip to Merseyside.
Everton head into the cup clash in fine form. An emphatic display at Aston Villa followed a convincing victory over Manchester United, meaning the Blues boast maximum points from their opening two Premier League fixtures.
Orient have endured a tough few weeks since their season started with a penalty shootout victory over Championship side Charlton in the first round of this competition. The O's find themselves without a point from their first two games in League One after suffering a 3-1 defeat at Tranmere and a 1-0 loss at home to Stevenage.
1) Steven Pienaar could make his 150th appearance for Everton in all competitions.
2) Excluding neutral venues, Everton have now been drawn at home in a Club record 10 successive cup ties going back to the fourth round FA Cup encounter with Chelsea in 2011.
3) Paul Rideout remains the last Everton player to score a hat-trick in this competition. The striker bagged three against Lincoln City 19 years ago.
For more match stats and facts, check out our 'Magic Numbers' feature here.
Everton's latest signing Kevin Mirallas on his disallowed debut goal at Aston Villa and his hopes of playing against Orient: "I don't know if it was offside or not, I couldn't tell. It certainly would have been a fantastic debut if it had counted, but I'll be going all out to score on Wednesday now."
Orient goalkeeper and former Everton Academy star Jamie Jones: "I will be emotional when it has sunk in that I'm playing at Goodison Park in front of the Everton fans and against the team I played for for such a long time. It's just going to be an unbelievable experience the moment I walk out of the tunnel. I'm sure there will be thousands of brilliant, loyal supporters there to watch the game."
Everton 4-1 Leyton Orient, 26 January 2002. The two sides met in the fourth round of the FA Cup in the 2001/02 season. Orient's David McGhee started the scoring early on - albeit into his own net. Duncan Ferguson then netted following good work from Paul Gascoigne before Scott Canham gave the visitors hope from close range. Kevin Campbell ensured the Blues would go into the hat for the next round, however, the striker scoring first on the stroke of half time and again with 10 minutes left to play.
Everton 2-2 Leyton Orient, 3 October 1989, League Cup 2nd Rd, 2nd Leg. With Everton leading 2-0 from the first game at Brisbane Road, Goodison Park witnessed an entertaining score draw that would see the hosts progress. Kevin Sheedy followed up his goal in the first leg with another, while Norman Whiteside also netted for the Toffees.
On 29 August 1978, Everton beat Wimbledon 8-0 in the League Cup. Midfielder Martin Dobson helped himself to a hat-trick on the night but still found himself upstaged - Big Bob Latchford got the other five!
In addition to Jamie Jones, striker Michael Symes is another former Everton Academy player who could line up against his old side on Wednesday.
Johnny Carey is the only manager to have been in charge at both clubs, with his spell at Everton (1958-61) preceding his time at Orient (1961-63).
And former Everton forward Kevin Campbell spent a successful spell on loan at Brisbane Road in his early days at Arsenal, netting nine goals in 16 appearances.

Friends, I have 5 kids and a very small house. Boys are 2,4,6 and 9 and a girl 11. Little boys 2,4 and 6 all sleep in the one room. Older girl and 9 year old boy will go to bed, other 3 - not a chance. It's usually 10 pm before they finally go and that is with no day time sleep. On the days that the smallest two do have day time sleep at daycare, it's even later.
I'm not silly, I know about routines, etc. I usually try to separate the youngest two and then relocate them, but I'm a teacher and I have lessons to plan at night and clothes to iron and all the regular Mummy jobs. My husband helps when he can, but he is not well (heart condition) and has to take lots of pills which means sometimes he is asleep before any of the kids!
I feel like I'm outnumbered. I feel like an idiot. I'm there reading stories, patting people, who keep jumping up and jumping up and running out of the room. They are really active kids who get lots of physical activity during the day, so what's the problem!?

How do you find passion?
I'm only 16, but over the past few weeks I've constantly been thinking about the selection of a life goal and what I want to be when I grow up. I think this decision is one of the hardest decisions to make, and I want to find what truly makes me happy. My questions to TED Conversations are: How do you find your passion? When do you know you've found it? What is your passion?
My answer would be like this. I find mine by learning about science. I know that somewhere in math and science I will find my passion, and I love learning about them. I know I'm close to finding it when I do something that genuinely excites me no matter the repetition. And I think my passion is physics or chemistry, that one I can't really answer.

Robert Galway 50+Dec 6 2011: I think finding your passion comes from doing those things in life you must do to survive, doings those things you want to do because they seem fun, and finding answers to questions that you think need to be answered. The challenge in the first part of your life is to try enough new things to make the probability high that you will find your passion. Look at many arts, sciences, technologies, businesses, and trades. Do you like working with your hands? Do you like being outside? Where do you want to live and what career opportunities are available in your area? What balance of personal satisfaction and rewards or riches are you seeking? Do you want to work alone or with a group? Many questions to answer. Often a parent, teacher, counselor, relative, or Scout leader involved in the career that interests you might have some insight into a good career path. Many groups have Professional Societies that provide learning opportunities for young folks. At 16 there are many branches of Science that you probably haven't been exposed to yet, so look for places to explore and learn more.
I found my passion in building things. The challenge to find the best design for a given set of requirements always seems to challenge me. Now I help others solve similar design related problems. I chose an engineering curriculum, thinking they usually made good money and had lots of job offers. It was a lot of work, but I liked to work. I took a job that was the best money and once there, seemed to enjoy designing and building research projects to prove concepts. It was like an extension of several labs from school. It involved a fair amount of traveling, reasonable expectations, and a constantly changing set of problems. It was fun and i became pretty good at it. i felt like i was contributing and helping the customer. Now I get a similar rush mentoring younger engineers and solving more complex problems. No regrets.

|Majoring in Sociology
Before choosing a major, it would be wise to meet with a faculty advisor. The Sociology Undergraduate Student Handbook as well as the major concentration form are available in Powdermaker 252.
To major in Sociology, one must take a minimum of 30 credits. Five courses are required:
In addition, you must take a writing intensive senior seminar (Sociology 381W) or other approved 300-level course. Please see the Special Topics Courses in Sociology for this semester which include several choices for Sociology 381W.
Course Numbering
The first digit of course numbers indicates its level. The middle and third digits of course numbers are used to denote the level of effort and amount of work required (e.g., compared to 200-level courses, courses at the 300-level are generally more demanding and challenging).
Sequence of Required Courses
Introduction (101) is the prerequisite for all 200/300-level sociology courses. We ask majors to take statistics and analysis before methods and to take theory and methods before completing their electives.
If you are planning to do graduate work in sociology, we suggest a variety of courses in many different areas be taken. Each semester, we also offer a number of Selected Topics in Sociology courses (Sociology 240).
Juniors and seniors should consider taking Social Statistics II (Sociology 306), Social Science Research Using Computers (Sociology 333), or senior seminars (Sociology 381W), to meet the 300Slevel elective requirement. Since the topics of senior seminars are not listed in the Undergraduate Bulletin, for a current list of offerings, please consult the Sociology Class Schedule during the pre-registration period.
Also bear in mind that certain areas of sociology lean increasingly on computers and mathematics. You might be wise to take offerings by the Computer Science Department. Also useful are courses offered by the Mathematics Department including the calculus sequence, linear algebra, probability, graph theory, and other mathematical courses with application to the social sciences.

Learn How to Catch Cheaters with Stealth Spy Apps
Catch the cheater in your relationship using Android cheating apps! Cheating apps have become as popular as Coke in 2012! It seems everyone has cheated, has been cheated on, or is afraid they are going to be cheated on. With this being our current situation, everyone is looking for a way to spy on their spouse so they will know for sure what is going on. If you have an Android smart phone, you have one of the easiest spy devices out there!
Mobile phone cheating is at an all time high! It has become an epidemic of dramatic proportions. With all of the apps that allow cheaters to hide their ways, the faithful partners are looking for ways to know what's really going on. There are many ways how to catch a cheater. There are now spy apps and cheating apps that allow you to listen in on your cheating girlfriend's phone calls or read your cheating boyfriend's text messages. It's never been more convenient to locate your boyfriend or listen in on your girlfriend's whereabouts. You no longer have to sit in the dark and wonder what's really going on. With all of the spy apps, we've figured out how to catch a cheater!
Installing Spy Apps to Catch a Cheater
Android spy apps allow you to discreetly install the app on your partner's cell phone and then monitor their phone from your smart phone or computer. You can set security settings that will prevent them from looking up x-rated material, you can block numbers they may want to call, and you can prevent them from making calls during certain hours of the day. Sound like a parental control? It is! They come standard in many Android spy apps!
SMS Text Message Cheating Apps
If you have a cheating girlfriend, her number one source of mobile phone cheating is probably text messaging. There is an Android cheating app that allows you to get updates on every text message she sends or receives including SMS and MMS. It doesn't stop there! With this app, you also have access to her email and her social networking sites! No amount of hitting the delete button will delete these from your personal log!
If you have a cheating boyfriend, the Android cheating apps may be a little harder to get installed since it requires you install it directly to his phone! Normally, if you have a cheating boyfriend they don't ever put their phone down because they don't want you to be able to go through it. It's okay! He has to sleep sometime! The Android spy apps are easy to find and quick to download as long as you have Wi-Fi access! He may be great at deleting his text messages and keeping photos out of view, but that will not stop you from seeing them any longer! You should not have to wonder who he's talking to behind your back, and with the Android cheating apps, you'll always know!
Mobile phone cheating will only get worse as technology progresses. It grew when internet arrived, and now as smart phones get smarter it continues to grow. There's no reason why you should doubt your partner. You can use these spy apps and watch their phones without them every knowing! You have the right to know what is going on in your relationship. It's your life, take a stand!
