Immunizations Q: "I am scared that my child will get Chickenpox. It was suggested to us that she could have the vaccine after being off of IVIG for 8 months. We were told that if we know she has been in contact with chicken pox to bring her in to get the vaccine because it would be better than a full-blown case. I know that many parents choose not to continue with immunizations of any kind. What is your advice on this matter?" We advise giving VZIG when there is a known exposure to chickenpox because chickenpox can cause severe cerebellar ataxia in some childen. Q: "My daughter is in pre-school until August and then starts Kindergarten in September. Her school is requesting that she is immunized. How do I make that decision or do you just mandate that OMS children shouldn't get immunized?" It's always a tough call. We make an individual recommendation based on assessment of the risk of relapse and the risk of serious illness. Some of the questions for that assessment are: 1) How many times has the child relapsed previously? 2) How many serious infections has the child had? 3) Does he/she relapse consistently with illnesses? 4) Are the symptoms of OMS currently controlled? 5) Is he/she immunosuppressed? No matter how scientific you are about it, it's still a roll of the dice. Certainly, no live virus vaccines should ever be given and multiple vaccines should not be given at once or in close proximity. Some parents choose to test the water by giving one that's less likely to cause a problem, like HIB, and see how it's tolerated. |

Hi April
I just happened on your blog from Meri's blog list. My 6 year old daughter was dx with T1D on March 8, 2010. From what I have read on your blog it sounds like you are new in this journey as well. I just wanted to introduce my self so you would know who your newest follower is. I look forward to getting to know you and your family as I follow your blog. I love that you are a breast feeding advocate. I am still breast feeding my 16 month old and pump to help a friend with triplets who is EBF so she can get a break from time to time. Blessings!Hi- I love your picture with that yummy little baby! I love hearing breastfeeding stories like yours- what a beautiful way to support a busy momma with triplets! Our son was diagnosed Feb. 22. 2010, a month before his 13th birthday. We are new to this as well. T started pumping about a week ago and is loving the freedom and flexibility.
I look forward to getting to know you better and following your journey.

Our region is home to seven of the state's nine destination resorts -- and many struggled during the economic downturn.
Regonal economist Damon Runberg says these type of jobs pay more than the typical service sector positions.
"So they have a huge impact. These resorts pay significantly more than tourism because of the real estate jobs, so they pay better than tourism recreation type jobs. And if this trend continues I expect we wil be back to pre recession levels in the next year or so."
Destination resorts like Tetherow and Pronghorn are building new hotels and Black Butte Ranch is redesigning its lodge and pool.


text: When choosing a bitrate for your stream, it is worth understanding how Mp3 bitrate's work so you can make an informed choice on which bitrate to use. Bitrate Overview In short, MP3 compression removes parts of the sound in an audio file that are not usually heard by the human ear. By removing these sections of data the file size will become smaller. An MP3's bitrate determines the amount of data the file may use per second of audio. This basically means that when an MP3's uses a lower bitrate it has less data being transferred per second of audio. Therefore the file size will become smaller and the the subsequent quality of the audio will also be much lower. More Details MP3 (or MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3) is a digital audio encoding format that compresses data by basically removing parts of the file in order to make it a smaller size. This allows for the file to require less space for storage on a computers harddrive or personal MP3 players. It also allows for this kind of data to be transmitted across the internet with less bandwidth. When music is encoded into MP3 (from an audio CD for example) you are given an option as to how many kilobits (kb) the file may use per second of audio and the sample rate. The most common sample rate used is 44.1khz as this is also used for audio CD's. The bitrate options that you are given can be user specified from anything as low as 32kb upto as high as 320kb. An Mp3 file encoded at 320kb is considered to be as close to the original recording from the CD as possible in this format. This type of data compression is also applied in 'Internet Radio' streaming. When audio is compressed in such a way through a streams encoder (regardless of the format the audio's signal is coming from) the lower the stream bitrate used, the lower this will be in the occurring sound quality. The audio will begin to lose certain frequency's through the compression. Any really low frequency's such as a bassline in the music will begin to sound less defined and the high end frequency's will begin to show the compression artifacts more evidently. Particularly with electronic music you will notice that the hi-hats and cymbals will begin to sound odd and kind of digitally distorted. Having said this, the perceived quality can also dependant on the listeners own awareness of this data compression and also on the equipment that a stream is being played back on. For example the artifacts of a low bitrate Mp3 stream would be more noticeable on a good set of speakers more so than on some laptop speakers or a digital radio. Below is a short piece of music that we have created with a wide range of frequency content for demonstrative purposes of varying bitrate quality's. The music has been encoded into Mp3 from the original 16 bit .wav file with a sample rate of 44.1khz and at four different bitrate's ranging from 32kbps up to 256kbps. Have a listen to each and see if you can notice the difference. The most commonly used bitrate is 128 kbps. Most people have difficulty telling the difference between 320 kbps and 128 kbps. Anything below 128 kbps becomes more noticable. We therefore recommend you use 128 kbps if you are unsure as this gives a happy medium of sound quality and good compression. Bitrate Test Sound Files : 32 kbps: http://www.internet-radio.com/mp3/Internet_Radio_Bitrate_Testing_32kb.mp3 64 kbps: http://www.internet-radio.com/mp3/Internet_Radio_Bitrate_Testing_64kb.mp3 128 kbps: http://www.internet-radio.com/mp3/Internet_Radio_Bitrate_Testing_128kb.mp3 256 kbps: http://www.internet-radio.com/mp3/Internet_Radio_Bitrate_Testing_256kb.mp3

It's a two-part input device: one for cursor control ("slipper"), the other for mouse clicks and shortcuts (the pedal).
The slipper-shaped cursor controller is intuitively easy to use and efficient (in the same way as moving a regular mouse by hand). With elastic strap and Velcro ends, the "slipper" can fit any sizes of foot.
The pedal with two-level design prevent user from stepping on the wrong buttons. These buttons not only mimic all "hand" mouse clicks, but also allow people to program their own customized shortcuts. (up to 10 shortcuts for each program!) The preset popular shortcuts selected from popular programs make it even more convenient to use. A small pop-up window on screen shows all button locations and their defined functions. So user can easily "see" and touch the buttons by foot. When working with some on-screen keyboard software, our mouse even enables people to do typing by foot! Now, nothing can stop people from enjoying their computers!
In addition to hand/arm/shoulder difficulties such as arthritis, stroke, amputation, etc, our foot mouse is perfect for people with carpal tunnel syndrome as well. The growing reliance on computer and Internet has resulted in this epidemic of injury to workers who perform daily intensive computer work. Footime foot mouse reduces pain and boosts efficiency by adding a foot-controlled input and avoiding repetitive hand/eye movement between "hand" mouse and keyboard. What's more, this powerful device can help people multitask, avoid contamination through hands or gloves, and give gamer an extra "hand" to fight.
No pain, more gain! Our foot mouse simply gives you a hand! Once you try it, you'll love it. Let your powerful feet help your vulnerable hands. Or give your hands a break and put your happy feet to work! Using computer and Internet has become the inseparable part of our daily lives and it should not be an exception to physically-challenged people.
Unlike some toy-like, half-baked, and hard-to-use foot mice or pedals on the market, our practical, efficient, and versatile foot mouse was designed with pro's needs in mind (on both hardware and software). It makes others obsolete!
SRP: $199 (including software and a big free mouse mat, compatible with Windows and Mac OS X 10.3 and later), Patent Pending.

Country Details For Ukraine
Ukraine became a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on September 4, 2006.
Smoke Free Places: Smoking is prohibited in specified public places including: government facilities, restaurants, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, children's playgrounds, sports facilities, in entrances to residential buildings, in underground passages, and in elevators and public pay phones. In other public places and workplaces, smoking is permitted in designated areas. Smoking is prohibited in public transport.
Tobacco Advertising, Promotion and Sponsorship: Advertising, promotion and sponsorship of tobacco products are prohibited in nearly all forms. However, there are limited exceptions, including product display at point of sale, and advertising of tobacco products on websites restricted to those individuals over 18. All forms of tobacco sponsorship are prohibited.
Tobacco Packaging and Labeling: Tobacco product packaging must display two health warnings. Fifty percent of the front of the pack must display one main text warning stating "Tobacco kills." Fifty percent of the back of the package must display one of ten secondary pictorial warnings with accompanying text. The law prohibits the use on product packaging of misleading terms, descriptors, and other symbols that may create a false impression about tobacco products.
Roadmap to Tobacco Control Legislation: Law of Ukraine No. 2899-IV On Measures to Prevent and Reduce the Consumption of Tobacco Products and Their Harmful Influence on the Population's Health (Law on Tobacco Control) is the primary law governing smoke free places and packaging and labeling. Law of Ukraine No. 1824-17 On the Introduction of Changes to Some Legislative Acts of Ukraine on the Restriction of the Consumption and Sale of Beer and Low Alcoholic Beverages amends the Law on Tobacco Control to require pictorial pack warnings as of September 2012. The same packaging and labeling requirements are mirrored in the Law of Ukraine On the State Regulation of Production and Circulation of Ethyl Alcohol, Cognac and Fruit Alcohols, Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco Products (Law on Regulation of Alcohol and Tobacco). Pursuant to Law No. 1824-17, the Cabinet of Ministers issued Decree No. 306 which contains the pictorial warnings mandated by that law. Law No. 4844-VI amends several provisions of the Law on Tobacco Control to require that additional places be 100 percent smoke free as of December 2012.
The Law on Advertising regulates advertising and sponsorship of all products, including tobacco products. A few provisions restricting tobacco promotion are contained in the Law on Tobacco Control and the Law on Regulation on Alcohol and Tobacco. Law No. 3778 introduces several amendments to both the Law on Advertising and the Law on Tobacco Control. The amendments entered into force September 2012 and further restrict tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship. The Code of Administrative Offenses provides sanction for smokers who violate smoke free areas. All other sanctions are provided in the relevant governing law.
Review Status
This country's legal measures were reviewed by our legal staff in consultation with in-country lawyers or tobacco control experts.

Read more about employability. Professional Development Centre (PDC) Brunel's award-winning Professional Development Centre (PDC) is your one-stop-shop when it comes to employment and career planning and is based at the heart of the university on the first floor of the Bannerman Centre. Business School students are supported by dedicated Placement Officers and Careers Consultants that work with you from the day you start until two years after you graduate. Within the PDC is the Job Shop, which is visited by most students on arrival at the University. The Job Shop helps students find temporary or part-time work whilst studying for their degree which enables you to develop the transferable skills sought after by employers. The Work Placement Year One of Brunel's most distinctive features is a commitment to include periods of work experience within 'sandwich' degrees – degree study that includes a year's paid work placement as part of the course. Four-year sandwich degrees help students to develop the practical knowledge and skills required to succeed in the competitive graduate job market. Placements are on offer at different sized organisations across the public and private sector, providing the opportunity to choose the type of experience most suited to you. In addition to providing a valuable opportunity to put what you have learnt in your degree into practice and to earn some much appreciated money, students find their work placement experience significantly enhances their employability when they come to graduate. In fact many students are offered employment with their work placement company upon graduation. How the Placement Scheme Works Students undertaking a work placement spend at least 44 weeks in an organisation working for a particular department, performing a role relevant to their studies. Work placements are carried out at the end of a student's second year at Brunel. Whilst a student is out on placement, an academic member of Brunel Business School keeps in touch and all placement students and their employers are invited to attend a tutorial day at Brunel. Most work placements are organised with companies based in the UK, but where a student has contacts overseas, it is possible to organise a placement outside the UK, subject to certain conditions being met. Features A sandwich placement is totally different from the kind of work experience you may have had whilst at school. A work placement is a proper job with a proper organisation – quite often the organisation is a household name. Work placement students earn proper salaries: currently students are generally being paid between £13,000 and £17,000 per annum, depending on the market sector and location – some have been known to earn considerably more than this. Employers of placement students from Brunel include: IBM Adidas Lloyds TSB British Airways Orange Microsoft Warner Bros Morgan Stanley Air France Walt Disney PricewaterhouseCoopers United Biscuits Nissan Read more about work placements. At Brunel we provide many opportunities and experiences within your degree programme and beyond – work-based learning, professional support services, volunteering, mentoring, sports, arts, clubs, societies, and much, much more – and we encourage you to make the most of them, so that you can make the most of yourself. » More about Employability Fees for 2017/18 entry UK/EU students: £9,250 full-time; £1,000 placement year International students: £15,750 full-time Additional course related costs See our fees and funding page for full details of scholarships available to Brunel applicants Back to top Entry Criteria 2017/18 GCE A-level BBB.

English Language Requirements IELTS: 6.5 (min 5.5 in all areas) Pearson: 58 (51 in all subscores) BrunELT: 65% (min 55% in all areas) Brunel University London strongly recommends that if you will require a Tier 4 visa, you sit your IELTS test at a test centre that has been approved by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) as being a provider of a Secure English Language Test (SELT). Not all test centres have this status. The University can accept IELTS (with the required scores) taken at any official test centre or other English Language qualifications we accept as meeting our main award entry requirements. However, if you wish to undertake a Pre-sessional English course to further improve your English prior to the start of your degree course, you must sit the test at an approved SELT provider. This is because you will only be able to apply for a Tier 4 student visa to undertake a Pre-sessional English course if you hold a SELT from a UKVI approved test centre. Find out more information about it. Brunel also offers our own BrunELT English Test and accepts a range of other language courses. We also have Pre-sessional English language courses for students who do not meet these requirements, or who wish to improve their English.

Life insurance sales increase by 10% from a year earlier, according to LIMRA.
The Windsor, Conn., based life insurance trade group only provides dollar amounts for annual sales, so there's no direct comparison available for quarter-to-quarter performance. However, Karen Terry, manager for product research at LIMRA said "2009 was a terrible year, the worst in decades," for life insurance sales.
"While the first quarter is encouraging, we're not yet at the level we were in 2008," she said. "It will take several years to recover to that point." LIMRA's official forecast is that the industry won't return to 2008's sales figures until 2013.
Universal life insurance enjoyed the largest growth spurt of 17% in the first quarter. Almost 65% of the 72 insurance companies polled that sell universal life contributed to that growth.
"Universal life was one of the most challenged products in 2009," Terry said.
Universal life policies without guaranteed death benefits grew by 30%, while those with guaranteed death benefits, which cost more, rose by 10%. Guarantees prevent policyholders from accidentally underfunding their death benefits in these flexible premium products.
Whole life insurance, the only life insurance product to grow last year, experienced a 15% jump in the first quarter over a year earlier. Variable universal life was also up, posting a 10% hike over the first quarter 2009's sales figures.
Term life was the only product for which sales fell compared to the same period last year, down 4%, partly because it garnered unnatural attention last year. Now, insurance buyers are heading back to traditional products in the permanent marketplace, Terry said.

Buti pa ang bank at book may reconciliation
Samantalang tayo, wala naba talagang reconciliation?
Her eyes are a metaphor,
a conceit, fantasy
No shakespearean sonnet
even a lyric, will suffice
to describe the elegance she carries
Her smile, the greatest curve,
all simile will be denied
Haikus and couplets
even the long ones
will not be enough
Her laughter is a song,
a perfect harmony and melody
She is neither a hyperbole
nor full of irony
instead she is perfect rhyme
She is a walking poetry
a personification of aesthetics
Almost an abstract
unfathomable beauty
out of the ordinary
OMG! OMG! I can't believe this was selected as a Daily!!! I am beyond happy!! Never did I expect this to happen. Thank you everyone for taking time to read and appreciate this piece of mine ❤
Again, my overflowing gratitude to all of you
Monday, oh Monday
How I hate Mondays
Lazy to leave my bed
That's why I came late
Could not keep up with my boss
Could not gather my thoughts
Start the week right,
never a motto of mine
So I guess my whole week be like
A 5 Mondays, and yeah, that doesn't sound fine.
As the sun is setting
Another day has been endured
Another day has been "lived"
Another day becomes a past
The sunset, it tells us to rest
and tomorrow, let's do our best
As the sun is rising
A new page will unfold
A new flicker of hope
A new life will begin
The sunrise, it brings a ray of hope
promises a beautiful kaleidoscope
Luscious lips
Your hands on my hips
My heart beats in skips
I feel your tongue slips
Your kiss
On my lips
On my cheek
Instantly I feel weak
Your kiss
Stop it
Unkiss me
Inspired by my chapped lips.
Kasalanan bang
Is it wrong,
Humingi ako sa langit ng
To ask the high heavens,
Isang himala..?
for a miracle?
Love is the absence of Hate
And hate is the absence of Love
What happens when love and hate collide???
Your love is like the sky
Up above so high
I can't even climb
You fall too hard, you'll crash into pieces.
I hate hating you
I love loving you
But sometimes,
I love hating you
I hate loving you
But most of the times
No matter how much I hate loving you
I still love loving you
It took me one hundred stupid acts
Before I finally realize that I was indeed stupid
Cupid must have shot me twice
For you have fooled me twice
Damn that arrow
Brings tears and sorrow
Oh stupid cupid
Please take back that damn arrow
And don't shoot my heart again, ever.
Your love is like the sun
It gives me light and warmth
But I can't even come
Unless I choose to burn
Some people are bound to meet each other,
but never destined to be together..
We both thought that we will have a happy ending,
But it was just an "ending"
This ain't a fairy tale
I agree, that life isn't always fair
We may not be together now,
But memories of you, in my heart I still allow
As they always say,
Some people in our lives, are not meant to stay
Still, I am thankful
For I met a person like you
and experienced a once in a lifetime love
Witnessed by the sky and stars above
Our love story will forever linger in the winds
Our laughters will still echo in our minds
Our tears will still pour through the rains
And I will try to keep us, whatever remains
Even just in my memories
Cruel is the game of fate
Sa mga sinambit mong salita
Sa mga ngiting ipinakita
Unti-unti, ako'y nabiktima
Unti-unti ako'y nahulog na
Oo gusto kita, pinili pa nga kita
Minahal nga ata kita
Ayoko lang aminin sa sarili ko
Ayoko lang pakinggan ang puso ko
Takot ang nangibabaw
Takot masaktan
Takot maiwan
Takot na maging ikaw ang mundo
Takot na mahalin ka ng todo
Kasi sa pag-ibig, ganoon ako
Buo, buong-buo
Yung wala ng para sa sarili ko
Yung lahat ibibigay ko
Nagustuhan mo din naman ako diba?
Ikaw naman ang unang nagsabi diba?
Ikaw naman ang nagpakita ng interest diba?
Ikaw naman ang nauna diba?
May mga plano na nga ako
Para sa iyo
Para sa akin
Para sa atin
Kasi sa tingin ko handa na ako
Handa na ako
Pero wala
Bigla na lang nagbago
Wala na tayong magagawa
Wala pa ngang "tayo" ay naghiwalay na tayo
Sana totoong nagustuhan mo ako
Sana totoo lahat ng ipinakita mo
Sana totoo lahat ng sinabi mo
Sana, sana, sana
Hindi ako galit sa'yo
Galit ako sa sarili ko
Kasi pinili kita
Kasi nagustuhan kita
Ang huling hiling ko na lang sa'yo
ay sabihin mo na ginamit mo lang ako
baka sakali ay matauhan ako
at ako na mismo ang lumayo
Paalam sa ating huling sayaw,
may dulo pala ang langit,
kaya't sabay tayong bibitaw...
My mind is wandering
Going to places I've never been
Trying to acquire wisdom
But all I've got is boredom
Procrastination is my enemy
And laziness is envy
I am chasing a dream
Should I wake up now or stay asleep??
Naging ngiwi
Wala ng tayo.
isinuot hindi sa ulo
kundi sa puso.
Kung sakaling maaksidente,
sa pag-ibig
di gaano ang sakit
di gaano ang sugat
para sa puso
para di mabasag
para di madurog
para sa puso
kailangan ko
yung matibay
yung di mababasag
para sa puso ko
If I run from the other side of the earth
And you run from the other half of it
And then we meet somewhere in between or in the end,
Does we prove that the world is round?
Love, i'd rather believe this,
So that you can't run away from me
My love will be just right inside the circle
No escape, just a cycle, round and round
If I walk away to the south
And you walk away to the north
How can we see each other again?
Little Star, shine
Show how bright you can be
Show how you light up the dark sky
Shine bright
Pain, pain go away
And don't come back the other day
I don't want to see your face again
I don't want to play with you again
Pain, pain go away
You're ruining my day
All I want is to be gay
Please don't come the other day

Goo Virtual Science Fair Project
WaterOpen bowl Sealed bowl Question Which option will keep my goo lasting longer ?
Research Goo can dry out and get hard It can also stay very moist
Hypothesis I think that if I leave the goo in water it will stay moist and not be dry.(last longer) conclusion
Experiment Design Control Variable All of the goo will be the same. The containers will each be different.
Steps/Processes Supplies Steps 3 normal Elmer's Glitter Glue bottles Borax (powdered laundry detergent) Teaspoon, and cup measuring utensils Water Three Tupperware containers 2 mixing bowls Saran rap / or lids #1 set out all of the materials #2 get the two mixing and put one bottle of glue in one of the bowls #3 In the second bowl mix one teaspoons of borax with one cup of warm water (I use my heated sink water) #4 stir until dissolved #5 when dissolved mix the two bowls together and the goo will form #6 put the goo in one Tupperware #7 repeat steps 2-6 two more times #8 when you have made three bowls of goo they should each be in separate containers #9 put one goo in a bowl #10 fill that container with a cup of water, seal the top #11 put another goo in a separate bowl #12 seal the top #13put the last goo in the last bowl #14 DO NOT PUT ANYTHING ON TOP OF THE LAST TUPPERWARE!!!!! #15 lastly put all of the Tupperware on your kitchen counter
Watch me !!!!! You will need these house hold items
Conclusion First we must go back to our hypothesis Now we can answer our question!! Our question was…,which option(water, open bowl, or sealed bowl) will keep my goo lasting longer? my hypothesis was correct Why ? The water kept my goo the most moist, while the others didn't. Keeping it moist makes it last longer. What else was discovered? The open bowl's goo was the most dry. The open bowl's goo shrunk hypothesis At home tip: if you make this goo at home place the goo in a bowl with water and seal the top

I felt like I was home. She was gracious enough to show us around this converted warehouse space, which had a mix of warm and cozy with hipster chic. Take a look: The Hub had a nice friendly vibe to it. There were even seats near a window where you can sit on a cushion and work with your shoes off. Conference room space has a great creative startup vibe. Also, the interior walls of the space move to accommodate events. I just found this place to be the type of environment I would want to come and work at. I mean, wouldn't you? If you are ever in London, I would definitely check them out. They also have a global network of "Hubs." There could be one where you're traveling to next.

PHOTOS: Tomas Saraceno's Geodesic 'Cloud City' Floats Above the Roof of the Met Museum
by Diane Pham, 05/19/12
Yesterday's gray sky and drizzle couldn't keep anxious press away from the rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art where Argentine artist and architect Tomas Saraceno was officially debuting his new project "Cloud City". A sculptural constellation of 16 geodesic pods, Cloud City "floats" above the museum's roof anchored by steel cables that keep the structure from flying off into orbit. The futuristic construction features over 100 planes, either shiny, mirrored, transparent, or open to the air. Navigating the structure is disorienting to say the least (think mirrored fun house), but thrilling, unexpected vantage points turn the spinning and sensation of weightlessness into a worthwhile journey. Beyond its incredible form, Cloud City beautifully reflects surrounding Manhattan, highlighting everything from the lush greenery of Central Park to the entire skyline of New York in one mirrored object. Cloud City opens to the public today, but get your first look through us here!
Measuring 54 feet long by 29 feet wide by 28 feet high, "Cloud City" weighs approximately 20 tons — so flying away may not really be an option — and is anchored by a complex network of steel cables that can be admired when viewing the piece up close. The project is the 15th consecutive single-artist installation for the Met Museum's Cantor Roof Garden, and follows Doug and Mike Starn's highly successful "Big Bambu", which took over the roof in 2010.
Saraceno, who lives and works in Frankfurt, has been working on Cloud City for two years, and made regular visits to New York over the design process. The installation was originally scheduled to be on view last summer, but getting the necessary building permits took longer than the museum expected, and fabrication delays didn't help the case. Assembling Cloud City was no easy task either. The architect had to bring cranes in to begin moving the modules up to the 5th roof mid-April, and less than temperate weather stretched the process out further. The installation of Cloud City took about one month to complete.
Inspired by multiple phenomena and structures (including clouds, bubbles, bacteria, foam, universes, and social and neural communication networks), the modular pod-constriction incorporates transparent and reflective materials that work to emphasize the surrounding Central Park, Manhattan's skyline, and the expanse of space above and beyond. For the piece, Saraceno wanted to build a new model for living, interaction, and social exchange; more secifically, one that challenges the boundaries of earthly living and explores the possibility of airborne habitation.
According to the artist: "Upside down, Central Park is a flying garden embedded in a cumulus cloud, mirrored buildings and skies appear under your feet, gravity seems to reorient itself, and people are multiplied in patchworks of cloudscape, forming unexpected interconnected networks…Cloud City is an invitation to perceive simultaneously a multiplicity of realities, making overlapping and multireflective connections between things, affecting and challenging our perceptions. Cloud City is a vehicle for our imagination, ready to transport us beyond social, political, and geographical states of mind."
While we caught the installation in a little less sunshine than we would have hoped for, we do recommend bringing your sunglasses if you intend on making a visit between now and September — the reflected light will be far from forgiving on the eyes. Rubber-soled shoes are also a MUST — visitors without them will not be allowed to climb the installation.
A total of 15 people, including two Met monitors, can explore the sculpture at one time, and a viewing schedule will be put in place. The exhibit closes this fall, so don't miss out!

As of late, pharmaceutical has concentrated on creating non-intrusive strategies for veneer teeth and starting here of perspective, porcelain lacquers are the best answer for a beautiful grin in a short space of time. Check here if you have problem smiling without having the need to conceal it!
What are veneer teeth?
Veneer teeth can be viewed as a genuine shield to the outer surface of the tooth and are particularly intended to enhance its shape or shading. Fundamentally, utilizing a dental lacquer, the dental imperfections of the front teeth can be "conceal" to flawlessness.
What number of sorts of dental lacquers are there?
Porcelain veneer teeth are made of composite material, fired (porcelain) or zirconium. The composite clay lacquers are substandard, however have the benefit of low cost and speedy establishment time. Clay polishes are produced using profoundly solid porcelain and they figure out how to reestablish regular tooth translucency with high precision. They are smooth and impervious, which implies that your teeth will seem splendid and white as the primary day.
How are dental finishes mounted?
There are two sorts of strategies that can be utilized to mount veneer teeth. The primary strategies is the "no prep/low prepare" strategy which requires the utilization of artistic as slender as 0.3 mm, appended straightforwardly to the tooth surface, without the requirement for sanding before tooth polish. This system takes around an hour to finish.
The second technique is the "prep" strategy which includes insignificantly obtrusive dental finish cleaning before applying polishes. For this situation, up to 0.5 mm lacquers fills in as half-crown that joined the tooth finish substitution. Mediation on the tooth is insignificant. The technique requires two treatment sessions for ideal results. The methodology does not require anesthesia; the patient does not feels any torment amid dental lacquers connection.
In what cases are dental polishes prescribed?
*To cover broken or split tooth
*To cover marginally re-colored or stained teeth as a consequence of treatment with antibiotic medication, fluorosis, or whatever other treatment;
To cover teeth with spots
To adjust anomalous formed teeth; too huge or too little teeth, warped teeth
For ugly teeth placement
In the event that teeth are swarmed or there is space between them, then polishes closes unattractive ranges of front teeth (called midline);
To cover unattractive fillings
To cover gingival grin
In what cases are dental lacquers not prescribed?
Porcelain lacquers are connected to just on solid teeth! If there are not kidding dental issues or veneer teeth ailments, for example, gingivitis/periodontitis, then the infection should be dealt with first before finishes can be connected.

I saw a woodworking movie last night: "Alone in the Wilderness," a Nature movie 00:57 minutes long featuring Dick Proenneke who in the 1960's built his log cabin in Alaska. He packed in his chisels, without handles to save weight, and made handles for them on site. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0437806/ -- Dave, New England - "We are made to persist. that's how we find out who we are." ― Tobias Wolff |

Ten Already Arrested at the Gathering of the Juggalos (And It Doesn't Start Until Tomorrow)
Wonder if the horn on this car goes 'beep beep' or 'whoop whoop'
photo by Nate "Igor" Smith
The Gathering of the Juggalos, a post-apocalyptic five-day wicked-clown festival we may have told you about once or 379 times, begins tomorrow in Cave-In-Rock, Illinois. Tomorrow, as in not today. Yet this has not stopped Insane Clown Posse fans from traversing the far ends of the Juggalo universe to find family love more than a day early. Right now, there is currently a very long line of cars backed up along the local road that leads to festival grounds HogRock Campground, full of overzealous clowns waiting for the gates to open.
This is one gridlocked view of the scene, posted around one pm CST:
Courtesy Faygoluvers.net
"They started jamming traffic up a little after six this morning," Hardin County Sheriff Joyce Cullison told us this afternoon. The Illinois State Police, who're providing back-up for the local force for the second year, responded accordingly, patrolling the Cave-In-Rock route, giving out tickets, and making arrests.
"We've had 10 or 15 in four or five hours," says Cullison. Six involved drug charges ("Not a large amount either"), one for unpaid child support. The rest were apprehended for lacking auto insurance, vehicle registration, or driving with a revoked license. No weapons have been found, Cullison notes, "so far."

In the pink
We are halfway through National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the offers for pink items are everywhere.
You can't walk through a store without seeing some pink product.
Those hawking the goods say that if you buy something with a pink ribbon, part of the price goes to benefit breast cancer research. But just how much?
I even found a pink ribbon shop online, where items from angels to umbrellas are adorned with a pink ribbon.
The site says purchases have helped donate more than $27,000 "to various organizations in an effort to find a cure for cancer, assist cancer patients and reduce cancer deaths through education initiatives that promote early detection."
It does not specify which organizations.
So why buy pink?
"People shouldn't be buying products unless they want to in the first place and should be looking for packaging that is explicit about which charity is receiving the funding and how much they will receive," said Sandra Miniutti, vice president of marketing for Charity Navigator, a nonprofit watchdog.
Charity Navigator has reviewed the financial health of more than 20 of the largest charities working to fight and prevent breast cancer in America, rating them based on various factors, including how much is spent on the organizations' mission, administrative expenses and fundraising.
Miniutti brings up the point that companies often have a cap on how much they will donate, so when you make a purchase, that company may have met its limit and your money may not be doing much to help the cause.
Two charities – Susan G. Komen for the Cure and Breast Cancer Research Foundation – actually have policies that companies have to sign off on if they want to use their logos, but Miniutti said not every company takes the time to get permission.
There are more than 1,000 breast cancer-related charities, so deciding which one to donate to can be mind-boggling.
Her advice: "Ultimately at the end of the day your best bet is to write a check to a vetted charity."

The Netherlands coach says the Gunners' skipper has told him he is expecting to feature for Arsene Wenger's side on Sunday despite speculation surrounding his future.
The Dutchman's future has been the subject of intense debate after he announced that he would not be extending his contract at the club.
However, Van Gaal says Van Persie will feature for the Gunners this weekend, before joining up with the Netherlands squad for a friendly against Belgium.
"Robin will play his first game this Sunday. He has told me he is at least going to play 45 minutes this weekend," Van Gaal told The Mirror. "It is a good job, because I almost had not selected him."
Along with the other Arsenal players who were involved in Euro 2012, Van Persie was granted extended summer leave by the club.
However, the friendly against summer signing Lukas Podolski's former employer Koln completes the Gunners' preseason preparations, so together with Oranje's match against Belgium it represents Van Persie's last chance of a run-out before the Premier League campaign gets underway.
Van Gaal is hopeful the Dutchman can get some game time against Koln as he feels he is vital to the Netherlands' hopes of success.
"Van Persie is so important for the Dutch team," he added. "This is the only time I'll pick Van Persie and Tottenham's Rafael van der Vaart while they are not fit.
"They have not played a single game yet for their clubs and normally I don't pick players then. In the future I will only pick fit players."

Yes, it's child Amy and the Doctor. They are quite close but it's still really cute Housemate saw it on my desktop from across the room and thought they were kissing!
Rory Williams is the new Chuck Norris Yeah, a lot are recycled Chuck Norris/Jack Bauer/Ron Weasley jokes, but there are some good new ones.
"The Tardis called Rory pretty because there's no word in Gallifreyian for awesome stud muffin." Only Rory Williams could father a daughter so badass she can make a Dalek piss itself.
"Your mama's time manipulator vortex is so lame that the first time you used it you ended up being her father!" "Your mama's paradoxes are so lame that The Reapers fixed it for her" "Your mama's perception filter is so lame she needed a second one to hide the other two hundred pounds" "Your mama's regeneration is so lame that instead of replacing every single cell in her body, she replaced all the chicken in the fridge instead" "Your mama's TARDIS is so lame because she is bigger on the inside"
^^^Rory punched the 11th Doctor and it caused the First Doctor to regenerate! That's my favourite one!!
If Charles Schulz had Invented Doctor Who instead of Peanuts Ever wondered what the Doctor would look like if Charles Schulz had Invented him instead of Peanuts? Well neither have I, but since you asked: The only thing missing is Snoopy as K-9.
Re: If Charles Schulz had Invented Doctor Who instead of Peanuts Here's another really good one -- Snoopy as the eleventh Doctor. And this one is probably the best -- Charlie Who. I had that as my desktop wallpaper for about six months.
Re: If Charles Schulz had Invented Doctor Who instead of Peanuts OK, the first post with the Christmas stage scene got the biggest laugh out of me in a month. Brilliant!
Re: If Charles Schulz had Invented Doctor Who instead of Peanuts Yeah, the Christmas stage scene is awesome. Though I also like Snoopy dressed as Christopher Eccleston in the "Charlie Who" image.
