YMMV: Amazon Women on the Moon
- Hilarious in Hindsight: "Video Pirates"
- Especially the comment by one pirate concerning laserdiscs: "What good are they? You can't record on 'em." That comment was indicative of the general feeling at that time toward laserdiscs. For those people not familiar with them, they were vinyl record album-sized, rather heavy, had to be flipped over in the middle of the movie, and were the predecessor of DVDs and Blu-Ray discs. Now the public has left videotape and laserdisc movies behind, and are very close to abandoning DVDs as well.
- Don "No Soul" Simmons was basically the blueprint for Carlton Banks.
- Retroactive Recognition: Due to the pure number of actors in the film, this is likely to happen for viewers. Probably the best examples are Robert Picardo, who had been a supporting actor in TV and movies for years before becoming best known as The Doctor (no, not that one), on Star Trek: Voyager, David Alan Grier who later hit stardom on In Living Color!, and Arsenio Hall who later broke out with his talk show and movies with Eddie Murphy.
- Special Effects Failure: When the moon is destroyed, a bit of it can still be seen hanging on a string.
- As a spoof of bad B-Movies from The Fifties, this was intentional.

Video Game: Violet
Calm down. All you have to do is write a thousand words and everything will be fine. And you have all day, except it's already noon.Violet is a work of interactive fiction by Jeremy Freese: a one-room puzzle game which took first place in the 2008 Interactive Fiction Competition with an average score of 8.53.You play as the unnamed boy/girlfriend of the eponymous Australian girlfriend who will leave you if you do not complete your graduate thesis in the next six hours. A world of distractions surrounds you and overcoming them will put your relationship to the test...Please add more tropes for Violet here, won't you, budgie?
This game contains these tropes:
- Birthday Suit Surprise Party: At the very end. It's a long story.
- Bi the Way: The game plays out mostly the same whether you're male or female - Violet is implied to be interested in either (though if you turn HETERONORMATIVITY OFF, she does wonder what that'll mean for your marriage plans).
- Buffy Speak: Imaginary!Violet refers to the thing that makes the window blinds work as the "whatever". (She also notes that Actual!Violet would know what it was called, and in fact told you at one point, but you weren't paying attention.)
- Chekhov's Gun: If you examine the vent, you find a piece of lilac thread, noted by Imaginary!Violet as being from one of her sweaters. Violet had hidden a webcam in the vent earlier to watch you solve her "treasure hunt".
- Downer Ending: Take too long (and the game is usually generous with the time) or WAIT, and you lay your head down and cry as Violet breaks up with you."I'm sorry. I can't go on like this."
- Fission Mailed: When you finally get home after writing more than you'd promised, you're greeted by a note on the door from Violet saying she's left you (with Imaginary!Violet noting sadly that you should have seen it coming)... and then when you open the door it turns out she's thrown you a Surprise Party.
- Gay Option: You're male by default, but you can change your gender to female by typing in FEMALE or, more humorously, HETERONORMATIVITY OFF. (There's no gay male option, however - Violet tells you bluntly that she's not changing her gender for you.)
- Green-Eyed Monster: Julia, and the player him/herself - Imaginary!Violet notes that you mentally embellish the flaws of anyone who might be interested in Violet, going so far as to call someone with a couple of tiny birthmarks "splotchy girl".
- Love Hurts: Far lighter than most examples, though. An increasing amount of puzzles requires you to destroy sentimental gifts given to you by Violet to finish your essay (and, by proxy, win back Violet), revealing that no, everything wasn't fine and dandy with Violet in the days leading up to your thesis, and that you'll have to hurt and destroy a little to save a lot. Lampshaded by Violet herself in the ending, who was watching you the entire time via webcam.
- Non-Standard Game Over: "TAKE JULIA".
- Oh Crap!: If you let Julia talk for too long, she eventually starts flirting with Historic Pfister. This is Violet's response.
- Plucky Girl: Shines through in every sentence of Violet's dialogue — or at least the dialogue your mind associates with her. The end dialogue notes you really flanderized her quirks.
- Potty Emergency: Your final puzzle has you needing to relieve yourself without going outside your room (as you'll be hopelessly distracted if you do; not to mention that you're naked at this point). A handy wastebasket does the trick. Or a bottle, if you're playing as a male.
- Ridiculous Procrastinator: The PC, full stop. Even the MP3 player being slightly too loud is enough to stop you from concentrating on your thesis! You'll almost certainly be reminded of that night you kept on being distracted from working on something super-important by various diversions while playing this game. Maybe you're even procrastinating on something while playing the game itself.
- Shrinking Violet: One of Violet's friends. She has an album on your gimmicky MP3 player - it's mostly her shyly, quietly singing about mundane topics, but it works well enough to keep you on track.
- Swallow the Key: You can try this, to stop yourself from getting the ethernet cable back after you lock it in the cabinet. It doesn't work.
- Violation of Common Sense/Solve the Soup Cans: The puzzles, which range from jamming gum in your ear to keep an MP3 player from being too loud, to stripping naked. It's lampshaded in the ending, where you wonder how the Hell you ended up naked, gum jammed in your ears, piss in a pot, and holding a flower vase.
- Woman Scorned: Julia. You were dating her at one point, but dumped her for Violet. It's heavily implied Julia never got over it, and spends most of the game trash-talking Violet to an unseen male acquaintance. Imaginary!Violet suspects she's come in to the office on a weekend specifically to sabotage your writing efforts.
- Zombie Apocalypse: Not literally, but someone organized a zombie march at the park outside your flat. If you let it distract you for a while or spend too much time trying to solve the puzzles before the one requiring you to shut the march out by closing the blinds, it eventually drags in pirates, ghosts, aliens, and someone even brings a zeppelin.

It's hard to know what to write next about this fabulous wine, which not only has revealed the phenomenal potential of the blend of 80% Aglianico (for power and depth) and 20% Piedirosso (for aromatic complexity) but also demonstrated why Falernum, the wine produced in this area under the Roman Empire, was considered the greatest of the ancient world, capable - according to Petronius - of lasting 100 years. I'll make no predictions about the aging potential of the 2001 Terra di Lavoro, other than the fact that I will regrettably not be around for the centenary celebration, but I would be amazed if it did not last twenty five years. In the meantime, it gives back every nuance of aroma and flavor of the slopes on which it is grown, the blackberry/raspberry fruit, truffles, tar, underbrush, and warm volcanic soil in a packed but super-elegant format, rich, powerful, mouth-filling and palate-satisfying, concentrated, velvety, and flawless. To the owners, and to Riccardo Cotarella, the only possible words which can be expressed are those of simple gratitude for this unexpected miracle which appeared out of nowhere in 1994 and has not ceased to amaze ever since.Drink Dates: 2004-2029

This is an extraordinary wine. It first smells like rubber, turning to intense minerals, blackberries and cherries. Full-bodied, with ultra fine silky tannins and a long, long finish. I have always loved it despite itsbeing difficult to taste when young. Made in beautiful hillside vineyards outside of Naples. Aglianico and Piedirosso. 750 cases made.Drink Dates: 2006+

Do You Care?
What is caring? I looked it up in the 1918 dictionary and it is defined as "A burdensome sense of responsibility; trouble caused by onerous duties; anxiety; concern; solicitude," . . . and solicitude means "concern of the well-being of others."

This story is about Colorado's most adorable bear, who wants to be boy. Please join us to bring this ebook to print. Read more
Funding Canceled
Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator on August 9, 2013.
This story is about Colorado's most adorable bear, who wants to be boy. Please join us to bring this ebook to print.
About this project
What is this story about?
This is an epic tale for children of all ages and adults too. Ettie the bear is Colorado's most adorable bear, who wants to give up his life in the forest to become a boy and do all the fun things that kids do, to sing, to dance and to play.
This story came about from camping trips with my children in the Rocky Mountains. The Mt. Princeton area inspired this story. It is one of the most beautiful areas in Colorado, perhaps the world. I wanted to give my children an appreciation of our great forests, of our environment, and of our wildlife.
Ettie the Bear finds the mischievous Tommyknocker in the abandoned Alpine Tunnel. The Tommyknocker grants Ettie his wish, but his price is the forest.
Ettie the Bear becomes Ettie the Boy and is mesmerized by the world of Man.
The miners descend upon the forest looking for gold.
It is up to Ettie the Boy to save the forest. Will he succeed?
Why Print?
Books are still cool.
Not everyone has an iPad or Tablet PC.
Books are easier to share.
What makes this story awesome?
A few things.
This story is a modern version of Hans Christian Anderson's "Little Mermaid" except the story takes place in the forest.
Ettie the Bear is Colorado's most adorable bear. You got to be a fan of Ettie.
The story is written in simple English for beginning readers. I've got a 7 year old. She loves reading the story. Your child will too.
The story has some strong themes, which include conservation and learning to be happy about who you are. These are great for kids to learn.
The story is set in the Rocky Mountains. Who doesn't love the Rocky Mountains?
Then there is the mischievous Tommyknocker. A real villain. If the Tommyknocker can turn Ettie the Bear into a boy, then he can certainly turn you into a frog for not pledging. :-)
Who drew the illustrations?
Jim Dwyer is the illustrator with experience in character design, books covers, children books, comic books, storyboards. His works includes boweeville the elf and wonder boy.
Currently, Jim has completed 15 illustrations for this project. He'd like to do more if we can successfully fund this puppy. Please don't let Jim down.
Is the Book Done?
Oh, yes, it is. The ebook version is out on Amazon.com. You'll pay $5 bucks more for it there than here. Aren't we nice? We are serious about getting this book into print. We want to go from the virtual world of 0's and 1's to the silky smooth feel of gloss and fresh ink.
By bringing the book into print, we will make the story accessible to everyone. We can donate copies of the book to libraries across Colorado and across the nation.
Why Pledge?
Because this is going to be fun. We've already given away a kindle reader and wood carving of Ettie the Bear. There will be more surprises to come.
You want to be part of something big. We are putting our backers names on a special sponsors page in each printed book.
You'll get a great book that you can display in your library.
What are the goodies can I get?
We've got some smashing cool rewards for every size pledge. Like I said you can get the digital ebook for $7 bucks. that's $30% off the Amazon price. Isn't buying direct nice?
We are introducing instant ebook download. As soon as you make a pledge of $7 or more, we will email you the link to download your ebook copy. You can make pledge today and get a reward today. How cool is that.
For higher pledges, we thought we'd give you something better than a bar of soap.
For the higher pledges, you will receive physical copies of the book that you can sit it, put a cup of coffee on, or just prop up a table leg. Try doing that with your iPad. I dare you.
Ok, seriously, you'll have a beautiful copy of a great book to display to all your family and friends and best of all it will be a story your kids will cherish.
For a few bucks more: Jim Dwyer, the Illustrator will throw in an original ink sketch of one of the characters.
For a few bucks more
Can you swing $100 for a print?
For really high pledge amounts, we've got something special in-store. You don't need to go to Vegas.
We are lucky to have a local wood sculptor, who's agreed to carve special limited edition Ettie the Bears. Bill Fee is this awesome sculptor who loves to carve bears out of wood. He's got a store in Mantiou Springs, Colorado. Bill invites you all to stop by and visit.
One and only pledge or the Gold Nugget Pledge: We've saved our best for last. For a pledge of $5,000, we will put your company's name on the opening of every ebook. When a reader opens the ebook, the first screen will read: "Your company name" presents "The Little Bear of St. Elmo's Forest." There is only one special Gold Nugget Pledge. This is on a first come, first serve basis.
What will we do with your contribution?
We're going to Monte Carlo to play craps. Yeah, right, I wish. Do you know the printing costs these days? Phil Nanzetta is going to be the big winner. Who is Phil Nanzetta? The Publisher at Signature Book Printing. Phil does a real fine job. It costs us a dear peso. Nearly all of the $3,500 will go to Signature Book Printing. The rest to the United States Postal Service. They promised to deliver your new shiny new book without losing it. I will purchase my wife a bouquet of roses for helping me out. She's been great.
Yep! If the book reaches its goal, yep, there's plenty of motivation to keep going! I've got lots of plans for awesome things we could do to make this book the BEST EVER. They include:
•$5,000 = UNLOCKED!!! Jim Dwyer will do another 10 more illustrations.
•$10,000 = UNLOCKED: Special Photography Ebook covering all the places in the story. We'll hire the best photographer we can find and send him to St. Elmo, Grizzly Lake and the Alpine Tunnel in search of great photos and the mischievous Tommyknocker.
•$25,000 = UNLOCKED: We'll make an interactive children's book app where Ettie the Bear will speak. The trees will talk. The wind will whistle. A free copy will be given to all donors.
•$30,000 = Unlocked: Zero Impact Camping Game. This interactive game will be included in the children's book app to teach them in a fun way about how to behave and respect the forest.
Help! I can't do this without your support. So let's do this.
This is David vs. Goliath. This is Underdog vs. Simon Bar Sinster. This is Rocky and Bullwinkle vs. Boris and Natasha Badenov. We are taking on the publishing establishment. This is true independence. But I need your help to make this project happen. Without your generous pledge, the system wins. The old gray haired publishers chalk up another victory. It's another I told you so. Really?
We're going to change the publishing world together. No more censorship. No more nepotism or cronyism. Let's let the free market decide. That's what self publishing is all about. It's democracy. If you like what you see, then give a little. If you can spare it, give alot. Whatever you give, if you can spread the word about this project that would be such a humongous help.
As they say in Italian films,
Risks and challenges
The risks are minimal because the book is already written and the illustrations are done. The ebook is available for purchase on Amazon.com. Once we reach our $3500 goal, we will schedule the printer to start printing copies.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

- Study Meets Primary Endpoint Showing Statistically Significant Improvement in Overall Survival -
- First Active Immunotherapy for Cancer to Prolong Survival -
- Full Data to be Presented at Plenary Session at Upcoming AUA Annual Meeting -
- Company to Host a Conference Call Today at 9:00 AM ET -
SEATTLE, April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dendreon Corporation (Nasdaq: DNDN) announced today that the pivotal Phase 3 IMPACT study of PROVENGE(R) (sipuleucel-T) in men with advanced prostate cancer met its primary endpoint of improving overall survival compared to a placebo control. The magnitude of the survival difference observed in the intent to treat population resulted in the study successfully achieving the pre-specified level of statistical significance defined by the study's design. The safety profile of PROVENGE appeared to be consistent with prior trials.
The 512-patient, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled IMPACT (IMmunotherapy for Prostate AdenoCarcinoma Treatment) study enrolled men with metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer was conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
PROVENGE is Dendreon's investigational product candidate for men with advanced prostate cancer and may represent the first in a new class of active cellular immunotherapies specifically designed to engage the patient's own immune system against cancer.

She's definitely substantially fat, not just chubby, but not the size of a parade balloon. Again, the crime is that a fat girl gets cheated out of pussy eating, and dude is almost comically too skinny, but hopefully she'll get a CJ Wright or Rock the Icon one day - that truly enjoys fucking fattys, and get real hardcore sexing.1 year ago2 years ago[[dateAdd]][[commentMessage]]0Flag This Video

Prediction of eye irritation potential of liquid and granular laundry detergent formulas using the bovine corneal opacity and permeability (BCOP) assay
Henkel Consumer Goods Inc. , Scottsdale, AZ , USA and.Cutaneous and Ocular Toxicology (Impact Factor: 1.12). 01/2013; 32(3). DOI: 10.3109/15569527.2012.754459
Source: PubMed
Abstract Evaluation of eye irritation potential is a routine part of consumer product testing. Increasingly, companies are using in vitro methods to perform these assessments. We have used the bovine corneal opacity and permeability (BCOP) assay for the prediction of eye irritation of liquid and granular laundry detergent formulas. The BCOP assay was selected because it can distinguish between moderate and severe irritants as required to evaluate these classes of formulations. Corneas were maintained in short-term culture and the exposure conditions were optimized using marketed product upper-end benchmark formulas for each product class. The primary endpoint was the loss of epithelium as measured by the change in permeability of the cornea to fluorescein and was complemented by histological evaluation of depth of injury. The opacity endpoint was not used, as the surfactants in these products do not induce opacity in proportion to the depth of injury induced. Liquid laundry detergents were diluted to 25% and exposed to the corneas for 20 min while the granular detergents were diluted to 10% and exposed for 30 min. These conditions were selected for each product type to induce OD(490) values in the midrange (between 0.5 and 0.6 absorbance units) and so increased or decreased irritation potential in the test formulas could readily be observed. Seventeen liquid and eleven granular laundry detergents were tested and the OD(490) values ranged from 0.278 to 2.193 for the liquid detergents and 0.267 to 0.856 for the granular detergents. Histological changes in the epithelium and stroma were consistent with the OD(490) values. These data suggest that the OD(490) provides an effective measure of epithelial cell loss (degree of cell lysis) and thus irritation potential for these surfactant-based formulas. The upper-end benchmark set a known upper range for acceptable irritation for the product class. Those formulas inducing lower OD(490) values may be considered to fall within the acceptable range while those inducing greater OD(490) values should receive further evaluation and perhaps reformulation.

Article: Assessing detergent safety: a comparison of a nonphosphate laundry detergent with phosphate detergents.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The potential hazard of a carbonate-based, phosphate-free detergent was compared with that of a variety of granular and liquid phosphate detergents. Evaluations were made using methods prescribed by the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA) and others designed to more closely approximate exposure in actual use. Some phosphate products produced esophageal and gastric mucosal irritation similar to that produced by the nonphosphate detergent, while others caused varying, lesser degrees of injury. The nonphosphate detergent, as well as several phosphate products, was seriously irritating to the unwashed eye at required FHSA test levels. Under more realistic conditions, eye irritation was reduced significantly. Skin irritation by the nonphosphate product was comparable to that by phosphate detergents, and in some cases was lower. In skin irritation tests with human subjects, results with the carbonate detergent were equal to or lower than those obtained with phosphate detergents. The carbonate detergent was found not to be phototoxic, nor a contact- nor photo-sensitizer. Total alkalinity was shown not to correlate with the severity of tissue injury in either test animals or in man.Journal of Oil & Fat Industries 11/1972; 49(10):539-51.

Article: A Collaborative Evaluation of Seven Alternatives to the Draize Eye Irritation Test Using Pharmaceutical Intermediates[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Much of the data which have been generated on in vitro alternatives to the Draize eye irritation test have dealt with compounds within a specific chemical class or product category. However, in the pharmaceutical industry, it is often necessary to evaluate materials which are not related in structure or properties. It was thus decided to evaluate a diverse series of chemicals in seven in vitro methods for estimating ocular irritation. Thirty-seven test materials were chosen to represent a broad range of pH, solubility, and in vivo irritation potential. Assays were chosen to include as many different types of end points as practical. The group of assays was composed of TOPKAT (assessing structure-activity relationships), bovine corneal opacity-permeability (BCO-P; corneal opacity/toxicity), Eytex (protein coagulation), neutral red uptake (cytotoxicity), MTT in living dermal equivalent (cytotoxicity), Microtox (cytotoxicity in bacteria), and CAMVA (inflammation/toxicity). The results of the study indicated that, in general, the cytotoxicity end points did not correlate well with the in vivo data. The BCO-P, CAMVA, and Eytex assays had the best overall concordance (88.9, 75.8, and 75.0%, respectively) with this set of compounds. Estimation of irritation potential based on structure-activity (TOPKAT) was possible for only approximately 50% of the compounds; however, the assay showed 100% sensitivity (i.e., no false negatives), but low specificity (i.e., negatives correctly identified only 54.5% of the time). These data suggest that for screening of chemicals of diverse structure and properties, the more mechanism-based assays, as opposed to general cytotoxicity assays, hold more promise and should be further evaluated.Fundamental and Applied Toxicology 07/1995; 26(1):20-31. DOI:10.1093/toxsci/26.1.20
Article: The CTFA Evaluation of Alternatives Program: an evaluation of in vitro alternatives to the Draize primary eye irritation test. (Phase III) surfactant-based formulations.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The CTFA Evaluation of Alternatives Program is an evaluation of the relationship between data from the Draize primary eye irritation test and comparable data from a selection of promising in vitro eye irritation tests. In Phase III, data from the Draize test and 41 in vitro endpoints on 25 representative surfactant-based personal care formulations were compared. As in Phase I and Phase II, regression modelling of the relationship between maximum average Draize score (MAS) and in vitro endpoint was the primary approach adopted for evaluating in vitro assay performance. The degree of confidence in prediction of MAS for a given in vitro endpoint is quantified in terms of the relative widths of prediction intervals constructed about the fitted regression curve. Prediction intervals reflect not only the error attributed to the model but also the material-specific components of variation in both the Draize and the in vitro assays. Among the in vitro assays selected for regression modeling in Phase III, the relationship between MAS and in vitro score was relatively well defined. The prediction bounds on MAS were most narrow for materials at the lower or upper end of the effective irritation range (MAS = 0-45), where variability in MAS was smallest. This, the confidence with which the MAS of surfactant-based formulations is predicted is greatest when MAS approaches zero or when MAS approaches 45 (no comment is made on prediction of MAS > 45 since extrapolation beyond the range of observed data is not possible). No single in vitro endpoint was found to exhibit relative superiority with regard to prediction of MAS. Variability associated with Draize test outcome (e.g. in MAS values) must be considered in any future comparisons of in vivo and in vitro test results if the purpose is to predict in vivo response using in vitro data.Food and Chemical Toxicology 02/1996; 34(1):79-117.

At Gawain's insistence, Arthur attacks Launcelot's lands, leaving England and Guinevere in Mordred's safekeeping. Gawain fights nobly, but Launcelot will not come against him because of their former love. Finally, when Gawain calls Launcelot a traitor, shaming him before his people, Launcelot is forced to defend his honor. Launcelot beats Gawain but refuses to kill him.
Gawain is carried back to Arthur's tents and lies there three weeks to let his wounds heal. As soon as he can sit on a horse he challenges Launcelot again, and again Launcelot is forced to fight. He again hacks Gawain almost to death but stops at the last moment, leaving his former friend howling and whining in impotent rage. Then comes news of Mordred's treason.

I came to Dr. Coles from Bridgewater with a broken tibia and crushed meniscus after a less than happy experience in South Shore Regional Emergency. From the time I entered the hospital to the day I was released as his patient, he was great. He has a great bedside manner, creates confidence in his patients, and knows what he is doing,. His team is equally organized. The outcome was even better than I had expected at the age of 70. I have no pain, no limp and the scaring in minimal. I consider myself very fortunate to have had him as my surgeon/doctor.

I broke my tibia in August, Dr Cole put me back together, along with a plate, screws and a bone graft. He explained clearly what he was doing and why. For my follow up apts, he takes the time to answer my many questions, and show me the updated x-rays. You may have to wait a bit in the clinic, but that's because he is focused on his patients. With any further questions, I can leave a msg with his office, and they get the answer back to me in a timely fashion. Thank-you Dr Cole for all that you do.

I found this gem of a place on the Internet. Not ever being in Tucson and knowing no one there, I was taking a chance. What a delight The Azure Gate turned out to be!
Dennis met us upon arrival, after first providing us with detailed, excellent directions from the airport. He showed us around the 5-acre Sonora cacti garden and the main house, including a very-well stocked library of books and DVDs.
He then showed us to our separate 2-story bungalow (does one say "bungalow" in the southwest?). We opted for the Catalina and were quite pleased with our choice. A separate kitchen with full refrigerator, microwave, coffeepot, dishes, towels, everything that one needs in a kitchen. There was coffee, tea, FRESH cream in the refrigerator, a bowl of chocolates and another of mixed nuts. There was also a vase of roses on the white lacey tablecloth which I thought was fake until some petals dropped. And a divine bottle of cabernet. I don't know if the roses and wine are the usual or because I mentioned I was celebrating my birthday when I made the reservations.
The Catalina was tastefully and thoughtfully decorated. Everything from nightlights (two), stationery with pen, current Tucson magazines, hair dryer, terry cloth bathrobes, just everything was provided. We slept in a comfortable bed in a loft which overlooked the living room. There were a lot of windows which gave the bungalow an airy feel.
In the main house, Dennis and Christine had not only binders with restaurant and tourist recommendations, but directions to everyplace turn-by-turn. When we came into the main house in the mornings for breakfast and tell them of our plans for the day, they would give us directions from site to site.
Now the best part: BREAKFAST! I usually get by on coffee and something quick. Well, one does not want to be quick at The Azure Gate. I have traveled extensively and have stayed at the best hotels (Ritz, Four Seasons, blah blah) on six continents (okay, on one of the continents there are no hotels), but Dennis's breakfasts have beat everyplace everywhere. My camera was out all five mornings and took pictures of both courses each morning. (I have ten photos in all.) Michelin should come and have breakfast here. No kidding.
And, Christine set the breakfast table (and dining room) with lighted candles and arranged flowers every morning. Always a colorful dining table runner and placemats and pretty dishes and crystal stems for the mango with lime? or guava with ?, I can't remember because I was in a state of bliss.
I usually don't post on sites like this, but I'm thankful for my time at The Azure Gate and thankful for having met Dennis and Christine.

Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 with 7.1 Surround Sound
"I purchased these because my original gaming headset have been attacked by my rabbit. I understand that you make sacrifices when you purchase a wireless headset. I'm not a huge fan of this headset, but it gets the job done and I've come to terms with that. Yes, it is true that you need the software running in order to use the surroundsound and also to equalize the headset. I've never had a..." --Butler
Razer HP-1 Barracuda 8-Channel Gaming Headphones
"These are my everyday gaming and music cans for like 10 years now through two sets of them. The bass response is unparalleled with USB powered built-in amplification and a dedicated 40 mm subwoofer driver. I imagine to get the same bass you would have to buy another can with a dedicated bass driver, and some do exist from different makers, but no one did it as clean as the razer barracuda...." --indopler
Logitech Ultimate Ears 600 Noise-Isolating Earphones - Dark Silver
"should have added a cable clip , fitting is awesome , sound quality is just what i like , bass is fast , hits with a punch , really nice mids , highs are lively too . thick and dark signature , my fav sig . secoend in command of my line up , might let the xba-3 creep in between , but xba-3 lacks sound stage , come on xba-3 , being a $200 phone you can not lack sound stage . but xba sounds fine..." --suman134
G430 Gaming Headset
"In terms of design it is good looking and cofortable. Usb is meaningless to me, my laptops built-in sound card is better sounding than that usb. G430 sounds bad and unnatural, it shoud be better at this price. Still is good for casual use. It will be a little better than a casual headphone when you are watching movie or playing game because of software it has. It isnt isolates sound..." --Gonomon
Razer Headset RZ04-00720200-R3M1 Battlefield3 Razer BlackShark Gaming Retail
"overall, a decent piece of kit for 90 pounds. fairs good in games (i find the noise cancelling mic great, others say they hear me very very clearly, all the time) but finds true love with music. running off computer with sound blaster zxr's and well pleased with clarity and all-roundness. can't compare with my akg k712's - but hey, the k712 pro is in a league of it's own and never leaves my house " --peperico

Predictors of long-term smoking cessation: results from the global adult tobacco survey in Poland (2009–2010)

BMC Public Health 2012, 12:1020 doi:10.1186/1471-2458-12-1020Published: 22 November 2012
Expanding the information on determinants of smoking cessation is crucial for developing and implementing more effective tobacco control measures at the national as well as European levels. Data on smoking cessation and its social correlates among adults from middle-income countries of Central and Eastern Europe are still poorly reported in the literature. The aim of the study was to analyze the association of socio-demographic indicators with long term tobacco smoking cessation (quit smoking for at least one year prior to interview) among adults. Moreover, we evaluated motives for giving up smoking from former smokers.
Data on former as well as current smokers' socio-demographic and smoking-related characteristics were derived from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS). GATS is a cross-sectional, nationally representative household survey implemented in Poland between 2009 and 2010. GATS collected data on a representative sample of 7,840 individuals including 1,206 individuals who met the criteria of long-term smoking cessation and 2,233 current smokers. Smoking cessation rate was calculated as the number of former smokers divided by the number of ever smokers. Logistic regression analyses were used to obtain odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the broad number of variables on successful cessation of smoking.
Among females the quit rate was 30.4% compared to 37.9% in males (p < 0.01). Former smokers declared concerns about the health hazard of smoking (60.8%) and the high price of cigarettes (11.6%) as primary reasons for smoking cessation. Older age, high education attainment, awareness of smoking health consequences was associated with long-term quitting among both genders. Also employed males had over twice the probability of giving up smoking compared with unemployed, and being religious did not contribute to successful smoking cessation.
Results indicated that smoking cessation policies focused on younger age groups are vital for curbing tobacco epidemic in Poland and should become a public health main concern. There is also the need for interventions to raise awareness on smoking health risks and quitting benefits are crucial to increase cessation potential among adult smokers. Nevertheless further effort needs to be done to prevent smoking uptake.
