Ecover never tests on animals. Ecover offers efficient and sustainable solutions for the hygienic needs of people today and future generations. It might sound idealistic. Heck, it definitely does, but they've been at this for over thirty years now, and still haven't lost sight of their guiding principles. Ecover thinks they keep the company young and focused: Respect, Integrity and Commitment. Ecover knows these qualities aren't that unusual, or even exciting, for a person to strive towards. But, for a business to zero in on these traits, and keep them top of mind in all their choices, be they manufacturing, formulation, or beyond makes for a special sort of work-place. They're not keeping it internal though. Their vision extends outward, to contribute to creating economical, ecological and social change within society, for the future of everyone (you've got to dream big!). Hats off to you for caring enough about the products you purchase to look this deeply into a company's practices. It takes a lot of energy and time to sit down and dive in. You are obviously invested in the safety and wellbeing of your family and home. Ever wonder whose holding everyone accountable as they shout from the rooftops how "green" their products are or how "sustainable" a company really is? Chances are, if you've navigated to this page, you've wondered. They take these claims very seriously, and know that talking about these things without being able to concretely back them up, weakens the impact overall. Which is why Ecover, long ago, created the Diamond Model. It's a list of thirteen criteria Ecover products must reach in order to meet sustainability ethos – the heart and soul of their decision making process. This model is validated by objective third party Vincotte Environmental. They help Ecover stay on track and stay true to what they set out to do, which is making great cleaning products! Essentially, this is a lifestyle model for each product Ecover makes, with thirteen measurable characteristics falling under three phases. To give you a better understanding of their approach, below is an explanation of each phase and the criteria within. Phase 1, Extraction – which is how the ingredients are sourced and great formulations are created. Under the Extraction phase are the following three criteria: Renewable Resource, Green Chemistry and Resource Proximity. What this means is, whenever possible, Ecover sources the ingredients as close to their factories as possible. After all, it wouldn't make sense to run all over the globe sourcing ingredients in the name of sustainability while simultaneously racking up the carbon footprint. They also make sure they're not mining the earth for ingredients that aren't renewable. Even if a potential ingredient would make for a powerful cleaner or is cheap to get, if that ingredient is at risk of depletion or takes eons to renew, they won't use it. To round out this first phase, the science behind converting all those ingredients into cleaners uses green chemistry. They like to call this Clever Science. What it means is that they ensure the ingredients can be responsibly transformed into cleaners without creating a swarm of pollution during production. Phase 2, Consumption – this is where you come in; it comes down to how Ecover products work and what they do for you. These are the criteria for Phase 2: Primary Efficiency, Secondary Efficiency, and Consumer Safety. They're sticking to their commitment to create great cleaning products, because what's the point in buying "green cleaners" if they don't work or you have to use twice as much to get the job done? To ensure truly effective cleaners, Ecover products undergo a series of performance evaluations and comparisons in on-site laboratories (mad scientist included). And of course, your well being comes first. Who needs harsh chemical fumes or residue in their home? Nobody. That's why Vincotte Environmental checks to make sure they formulate products to be safe to use as well. Phase 3, Absorption – this is where Mother Nature gets a hand, ensuring Ecover doesn't make pretty products that wreak havoc on the environment when they go back out into the world. Protecting waterways and aquatic life is a major priority at Ecover. Of course, each phase is important, but it's pretty obvious from the number of criteria under this last phase that this is a sweet spot. Here they are: Aquatic Safety, Limited Aquatic Impact, Aerobically Degradable Ingredients, Anaerobically Degradable Surfactants, Phosphorous Absence, VOC Absence, Primary Packaging Optimization Whew, that's a tall order! Did you think that your cleaning products just disappear once you pull the plug? They usually don't. Since we all have to protect waterways just as much as we've got to do six loads of laundry or clean the dishes, Ecover creates products that disappear all the way and that do so quickly. They like to say, "do the dishes, not the fishes!" How they do it is by making sure their products quickly and completely biodegrade. They make sure the products need the minimal amount of water to become neutral again and that they have the lowest possible levels of volatile organic compounds. Lastly, they work tirelessly to find the best possible packaging options – what's on the outside is a big deal when you're talking plastics. That's why they recently made the switch to 100% PlantPlastic that's also 100% recyclable and renewable.

'Connolly's goal was especially pleasing for the fans, as the center was finally able to suit up for his first preseason game. The Syracuse-native had been sidelined with a groin injury suffered during an intra-squad scrimmage prior to the team's first game against Columbus last week. Lying on his stomach in front of the Penguins' net, Connolly tapped the puck past starting goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury for the goal and the eventual win.'

Vincent M. Smith came to feng shui by way of the theater. A graduate of Harvard College and the Yale Law School, he practiced real estate law for 25 years while spending nights and weekends perfecting his first loves: acting, directing plays, and designing stage sets. When he thought about it, he realized he was creating a home for the actors for two hours, designing sets that evoked the play's energy. "I was intrigued by the idea that you can create spaces that enhance the negative tension and anger to go with the plotline or do the opposite and create a positive space," he says. "And that's how I got into feng shui."
That's also how he came to publish a book, written with Barbara Lyons Stewart, AIA, called Feng Shui: A Practical Guide for Architects and Designers (Kaplan Publishing, 2006). It's significant that a book like this should be directed to architects, who traditionally have scorned feng shui as tilting toward the superstitious and new age. They've criticized it for the emphasis some practitioners place on decorative fixes such as wind chimes and Chinese firecrackers rather than on sound space planning. The language of feng shui can seem mystical and magical to serious professionals, with all of its talk about energy flow and the five elements (earth, fire, metal, water, and wood). But Smith says his intent is to de-Easternize those ideas, and that it's all about creating a harmonious environment that affects the way people feel and behave. "Things like hanging crystals and placing firecrackers over the front door are really the superficial aspects of feng shui and have nothing to do with its underlying philosophy," Smith says. "As far as I'm concerned, feng shui is just a form of environmental psychology. It's about how space reflects who we are and how it's constantly affecting us."
It's clear there's a connection between what makes people feel comfortable in a house and what feng shui, at various levels, is trying to achieve. Feng shui terms like chi—or life energy—and yin and yang are metaphors for the sense of orderliness, fluidity, and balance that architects are taught to design into their buildings. For example, Smith writes that porches and porticos are useful as a middle ground between outdoors and indoors because "the transition from the energy of the open sky to the closed-in space of the home is dramatic."
Another example: When people enter a front door and are immediately confronted with a wall six feet away, it stops them in their tracks—Smith calls it blocking their energy—and creates stress by requiring them to decide which way to go. A solution for a wall that can't be moved is to hang a mirror that gives the space a feeling of depth or to hang a painting that reads in the direction visitors should go. Likewise, a staircase placed directly at the front door immediately pulls one's energy upstairs, where the private rooms are usually located. "For guests, having the private part of the home thrust upon their subconscious is generally not the optimum greeting," he writes. All of these ideas seem fairly intuitive. Then there are the tenets that will surely lose a few architects: "Railings should be built on both sides of the stairs to create a feeling of support," he writes, and "the risers should be closed so that energy does not 'leak' through."
Smith emphasizes that the principles in the book are meant to be reinterpreted, played with, and adapted. "At first blush architects think I'm trying to do their work—they know how to design a building and don't need a feng shui consultant," Smith says. "On the other hand, many architects are like sponges. They want to absorb all of this because it makes sense."
widening the circle Well, much of it does. To the uninitiated Western mind, many feng shui fundamentals warrant skepticism. In her preface, co-author Stewart notes that while architects often apply feng shui instinctively, there's an integral mystical aspect to it that does change the design process. Feng shui means wind and water, and it's a way of interpreting how people can live in tune with nature. "It begins by understanding our human need for 'nature' and ... creating the best environment for the mental and physical health of the person who will live and work in the space," she writes. (Like Smith, Stewart is a principal at Panergetics, a feng shui consultancy with offices in New York City and San Francisco.)
Practitioners routinely use a complex, esoteric tool called the bagua—an octagonal overlay on a site or floor plan that corresponds to various aspects of the occupant's life such as relationships, career, health, and reputation. Geomancy, a form of divination, is also often used to read the energy currents in the land to determine propitious siting for a building. Brooklyn, N.Y., feng shui consultant Alex Stark, an architect, blends both the practical and transcendental aspects in his practice. He says that although feng shui was introduced to America as a Chinese practice, here and in Europe it's been transformed into something more holistic. Many of his clients aren't interested in feng shui's Eastern aspects, but they are looking to include some physical and spiritual components that aren't accessible through normal design channels.
"A lot of residential clients are interested in green building and want to provide the design process of their home with a greater understanding of how it should sit on the land," Stark says. "Whether they're just being respectful to the environment or true to practices like a mystical path, they feel that the home is a container of that type of spirituality."
For others on the spectrum, feng shui simply symbolizes an intangible sense of balance and well-being. Recognizing this consumer awareness, developers often use feng shui consultants to add value to their multifamily housing. Manhattan-based Tarragon Corp. recently hired Stark to feng shui a 15-story, 168-unit condominium project at One Hudson Park in Edgewater, N.J. "We realized we had the option of either doing or not doing his recommendations," says Hilary Thomas, vice president of Tarragon Development Corp., a Tarragon Corp. subsidiary. "We wanted to see how it would enhance our design, and we believe that it did." Stark came aboard during the design phase to advise on room relationships in the units and to provide input concerning the lobby layout and finishes. He also consulted on the design of an adjacent one-acre landscaped park, introducing water elements and suggesting optimal site lines. He even did a numerology assessment—an effort that resulted in his suggestion that the developer not use the number "4" (hence no 4th or 14th floors).
At Trio—a second condo project in Palisades Park, N.J., in which Stark was involved—Tarragon asked him to conduct a "ground-blessing" party to which public officials, consultants, and real estate brokers were invited. The developer also created a marketing piece describing the feng shui aspects of the building. "I'm not a designer, but I'd say there's a smoothness—a softness—to it," Thomas says, adding that natural elements like water and stone lend a sense of calm in the lobby. "We hope it will bring a peacefulness to the residents when they come home."

Very hard to read this post I don't know if you're asking or telling us. Anyways...
What's with all the plugs for that router software btw? It should hardly matter which router you're using so why mention it?
ii Guys
One Day I asked My self simple question :
all the traffic in wlan are send to specific MAC (Gateway Mac) <<<wireless router
So simply to direct all wlan traffic to my pc I have to be The gateway
you know that there is only 1 gateway mac in the wlan & if you try to change your mac to be identical to the gateway mac <<<< you can't associate or even connect to the wlan
Finally I get it :
using any virtual machine software like (virtualbox) & with any router based software like (mikrotik router software)
I can make a fake duplicate gateway in my wlan
all the wlan clients associate to my fake gateway
simply I redirect all wlan traffic to my pc , with aid of (mikrotik router software) which installed on virtual machine I can respond to any authentiction type the clients request
so I got all authentication session privs.
using wireshark as sniffer I captured wep based protocol traffic & simply crack the wep in less than 1 min
So I called this attack " silent illusion" which reffer to "silent" undetectable attack and "illusion" fake gateway
foregive me for my bad english <<<<<<<< I'm from Iraq
what you think about that attck???

Very hard to read this post I don't know if you're asking or telling us. Anyways...
What's with all the plugs for that router software btw? It should hardly matter which router you're using so why mention it?
congratulation about your findings,
to me it sound like a man in the middle attack, but it is a fair try.
A nice sort of re inventing the wheel ?
My point from this post is to see what you think of this attack is't effective may be we can develope it?
first off all you know that MITM is difficult with new router software technologies .
Rouge AP attack is limited to the nearst clients to your position or else it fail ( using silnet illussion I can direct traffic of wlan which 15 KM to my position with only ALFA USB wireless adapter)
You can call it Hardware MITM and it's diffrent from Usual MITM in:
1- It's work on new MITM protectefd WLANs
2- You don't need to poisn every client in the wlan
3- You do't need to complete the traffic routing ( you just recieve the requests & the fake router respond to complete the sessions)
The wheel is invented by ........?
Like the others said, congratulations on figuring out the attack vector, presumably on your own, but I'm not seeing anything new here. You've just over-complicated the process by adding virtualisation layers and other routing software.
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
Truth be told Gitsnik there are entire cultures that thrive on "over-complicating things".
@OP is there a point to this before I consider it spam and delete it? Because I still don't understand what you are trying to achieve here.
First, I am sorry to discuss the ideas of beginners in the Department of experts
Purpose of my idea is to simplify the complex and multiple attacks at the present time to be a single attack and simple scalable
I would like to add that this attack may be used as a trap for clients in the wireless network ... Able of guiding clients to the login page which be used as a trap
I would present another form of attack (I hope I don't bother you)
all off you know th Rouge AP attack
to be really effective I add some Improvments:
1- changing the wireless adapter MAC address to be Identical to the Victim wlan MAC address (BSSID)
& changing my Rouge AP (ESSID) to be Identical to the ESSID of the Victim WLAN I got:
the above improvment ensure that the v ictim wlan clients are suddenly disconnected from thier real wlan and connect to my fake one
2- using virtulized router software I can re-route the clients to Internet and respond to all autentication requests.
I post what I know here to see your replys so I can evaluate my level

This is the same commercial massager used by the neighborhood barber to conclude the grooming ritual of a bygone era. Now available for home use, this handheld device recreates the classic barbershop experience where a shave and haircut was followed by an invigorating massage to the scalp, neck, and shoulders. Worn on the back of the hand, the single-speed massager's powerful 15-watt motor rotates six ball bearings laterally and vertically, generating thousands of vibrations per minute that are transmitted through the hand. The intensity of the massage is controlled by how much pressure the wearer applies—a kneading action penetrates deep into muscles, even through clothing, to soothe soreness and stiffness, while long, gentle strokes ease tension all over the body. The device is ideal for giving a partner a relaxing shoulder or back massage, or for targeting your own thighs, calves, and other large muscles. The massager has a rubberized pad to ensure a comfortable grip and a classic chrome exterior. Plugs into AC with 9 1/2' cord. 6 1/2" L x 3 1/2" W x 3 1/2" D. (2 1/3 lbs.)

By Miss Margaret

I use this massager as a muscle relaxer. I love the concept but wish it were lighter weight, quieter and not so top heavy. I wish the motor itself was more compact; thinner. I gave this three stars because it is effective. It helps to not slip all fingers within the straps. Vibrates better through the fingers.

Professional massage at home
By Youngblood
from Shendandoah Valley, VA
My wife has a chronic condition that causes her persistent chest, back and joint pain -- and which limits her ability to get any kind of exercise. This massager gives her soothing relief from the pain. The weight and vigorous action of the massager requires minimal strain for the masseuse. I simply run the massager hand over her back in random motions to provide soothing relief. The massager does tend to work its way gradually off my hand, but is easily pushed back to the proper position.

My dad brought one home when I was a kid. Loved it then, love it now! So happy to find this product again after all these years! It feels like the machine will fall off your hand but hasn't so far. It does heat up quickly. But it's so effective!!!! If you suffer from carpel tunnel, this may not be the one for you to use. I have recommended it to many others!!! Great buy!

Thom Browne Fall 2014
As the models began to walk, it became clear that, despite reports to the contrary, the fall 2014 Thom Browne presentation had not started late at all—but in fact on time, at the moment the first guests arrived when, sitting on church pews amidst wafting incense, they found themselves contemplating the elevated, maroon-carpeted catwalk with its tall burning candles, large church crosses, and overhead echoes of Monteverdi's sacred composition "Vespro della Beata Vergine."
The first few models were male, frocked in lace. As the music changed from Monteverdi to Nino Rota's score for the ecclesiastical fashion show in Federico Fellini's 1972 film Roma, these priests knelt on prie dieux in observance of the rites that were to commence. It's not so common for a real fashion show to use the score from a fake one as its sound track, but then Thom Browne could never be called common. And while his set design and music were very nearly lifted directly from Roma, the clothes on display were not. In the film, the bishops observe an absurd spectacle of priests on roller skates, giant flapping nuns' wimples, and roboticized habits that would put Hussein Chalayan to shame. Browne, on the other hand, while perennially interested in spectacle, looked to Fellini more as a "visual inspiration. The music was something that interested me but nothing was literal," he said. When it came to the clothes, "the tailoring was more my focus. Round shoulders and round hips. Very forties, but loosely so, not just a simple Old Hollywood forties."
"Round" would be an understatement. The shoulders curved wildly out from the body (almost leg-of-mutton style, but stiffer and more structured). They were matched in severity of arc only by the very nearly circular hip contour of the dresses and peplum coats. Often the geometry of the silhouette was mirrored in stenciled-out cuts through layers and layers of luxurious fabrics. Deep velvets, gleaming wools, elaborately embroidered and etched silks, a tweed that had somehow been wrought into a texture resembling crocodile or snake, and, towards the end, delicate furs interleaved with metallics—the specificity and precision of each textile was central to Browne's thinking. "For instance it was important to me to use real gold lamé from the forties," he said. Of course just because Browne's designs didn't resemble Fellini's costumes doesn't mean he wasn't inspired by the rich visual language and emotional power of the Catholic Church. Every choice projected opulence, but the sort of opulence best veiled, best hidden away in secret cloisters concealed from those who can't understand it.

Diane's on maternity leave for a few more weeks, but that hasn't stopped her from continuing her genealogy research. She brought baby Leo with her on a recent trip to a Family History Center to request some microfilm. I am sure he was a very popular guy! Look at those hands -- he's just itching to get his mitts on some microfiche.
If you're planning on taking a trip to a Family History Center for the first time, you've got to read our article "Family History Central" (available to Plus members) from the January 2011 issue of Family Tree Magazine.
FamilySearch | Genealogy for kids | Genealogy fun
So what's the prize? Four lucky winners received Discover Your Roots Kits, which include a bookazine for genealogy beginners, a Family Tree University course, a subscription to Family Tree Magazine, our State Research Guides CD and the Family Tree Pocket Reference eBook — a $205 value.
We loved interacting with you all on Facebook and the blog. And while the sweepstakes is over, we hope you keep in touch.
Once again, the Who Do You Think You Are? Live show in London attracted thousands of eager visitors anxious to learn more about their family tree. It was my great pleasure to not only participate as a speaker this year, but also to report on the event for the Genealogy Insider.
According to Else Churchill, genealogist for the Society of Genealogists in the UK and organizer of the society's workshops at the event, BBC Magazines Bristol has purchased a major share of the show from Brand Events, who has organized it for the last five years. The new owners will be managing the event from this point forward, and they are already busy making big plans.
I was very excited to bring a technology topic to the event with my Make Google Work Harder for Your Family History workshop. On the heels of RootsTech, WDYTYA? Live will be looking toward technology and social media and their role in genealogy, expanding those topic areas next year.
Churchill and her team worked tirelessly to organize the Society of Genealogists workshops, and their Ask the Expert booth, spearheaded by Lori Weinstein, was a big hit once again. I participated in a 2 hour shift on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed working one on one with eager attendees.
Visitors also really appreciated the expanded gallery area upstairs and from what I could see, they made very good use of it. They found more room to roam in the military and photographic exhibit areas, plenty of tables and seating (where my husband and I held an impromptu family reunion with three other distant British Cooke cousins!), and even a pasty pie stand (which, of course, I felt obligated to taste test – yummy!).
One of the unique aspects of WDYTYA? Live is the inclusion of celebrities profiled on the BBC TV series "Who Do You Think You Are?" Monty Don ("Gardener's World"), Hugh Quarshie ("Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace"), and celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott kept audiences riveted as they recounted their personal family history journey.

When the water got up to her knees, Sharon Hills knew it was time to flee her rental property in a low-lying new estate in Bundaberg's western suburbs. At 1.30am, with her four children in tow, the single mother got in the car and drove nervously down a 30 centimetre-deep creek that had been her concrete driveway.
The 41-year-old had timed it right - getting out before it was too late. ''I knew if we waited we would be gone,'' she says.
Many Bundaberg residents weren't so lucky and became trapped in the north of the city - a notorious flood zone - as they waited too long as ex-cyclone Oswald hovered over the region on Saturday. Helicopters had to be brought in to rescue 1300 people, including hundreds winched from rooftops or in waters using a rescuer dangling on a cable underneath the helicopters.
At Bundaberg West the water surged up the banks of the nearby Burnett River and swiftly rose through Hills's brick home within minutes of her leaving. The smelly brown tide wiped out her furniture, all her electronic goods and anything else she couldn't carry, leaving her with an insurmountable damage bill.
On Thursday, as the children played on the driveway with the photos they had managed to salvage, she said: ''I didn't have insurance. I just didn't have time with the job and everything. And it would be too expensive anyway.'' She was left wondering how such a tragedy could have happened and whether such devastation could have been avoided.
''Someone came through here saying something about the flood levels and how the houses were supposed to be right for 11 metres well above the floor. They said someone's going to pay. I would like to know if that's right.''
It's a question many are likely to be asking. Over the past week a vast swathe of the east coast, stretching from Cairns to the mid-north coast of NSW, was swamped by the remnants of tropical cyclone Oswald.
The extreme weather caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage and left six people dead, including a three-year-old boy who was hit by a falling tree after going out with his mother to look at floodwaters in Brisbane.
It smashed rainfall records up and down the coast and surprised weather experts with its endurance.
''The most exceptional feature of this storm is the extent of extremes along a very long distance of coast,'' Blair Trewin, a senior climatologist at the Bureau of Meteorology, said earlier in the week.
West of the sugar town of Bundaberg, 204 millimetres of rain fell in 24 hours to 9am on Sunday, beating the previous records, according to Trewin.
Throughout the week more rainfall records tumbled as the system drifted south over the border to record extreme falls near Tamworth.
In Brisbane, the deluge led to releases from the city's flood mitigation and water supply facility, the Wivenhoe Dam. Flooding in some low-lying areas including parts of the CBD next to the river.
To the west of Brisbane at Ipswich, about 350 properties were inundated, while in NSW, 1000 people were evacuated and another 23,000 were stranded.
This week the NSW government declared Ballina, Bellingen, Byron, Clarence Valley, Coffs Harbour, Kyogle, Lismore, Nambucca, Richmond Valley and the Tweed natural disaster zones.
Authorities are yet to put an accurate figure on the damage bill but the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, estimates the cost to the federal government will be in the hundreds of millions. The Queensland Premier, Campbell Newman, is reported to have suggested a bill of more than $2.4 billion.
Bundaberg, which has a population of about 70,000 and is about 380 kilometres north of Brisbane, is the worst hit, with the council fearing more than 2000 homes flooded. Ocean-front communities were the first to get hit when tornadoes roared out of the sea and ripped roofs of homes last Saturday.
In Bundaberg West in Neville Drive, where Hills was living, most houses on the low side of the street were severely affected.
Many of the homes were investment properties completed in the past two years and thought to be above any possible flood level - based on the 1942 flood.
Brenton Towers, who bought a property in the street 12 months ago, said: ''We knew it was close to the Burnett River and the creek, and we asked a few questions of the real estate agent. She said the area did not flood in 2010. We checked with the Bundaberg Council and it wasn't shown on the flood map.
''I was horrified when I saw it. It's a brand-new property, only 12 months old.
''Ours is a long-term investment, and when we come to sell that's a concern as well.''

Hello ^ ^
I would like to be selected as one of those to enter the programme this semester because I have always had it as a top rp goal. I've been rping for a year and a few months and so I have been opportuned to see three Medical School applications. I missed the first due to exams, wasn't picked in the second and here I am for the third:p. I hope this will be my last. I have a great interest in medical ninjutsu because it is actually one of the most amazing skills in the narutoverse. Due to my interest in chakra control and manipulation, I created a Karin Uzumaki biography(in sig). Although many didn't really see the sense in dropping an Uchiha biography for a chakra sensor, I love being unique and I love the fact that Karin brought me closer to med ninjutsu since she used it in the anime/manga series although as an amateur. I later found out that I could only use the Mystical Palm Healing Technique if I had received med training; I was sad but I didn't let that force me into dropping my Karin. With her Heal Bite and Mind's Eye of the Kagura, I felt like an amateur medical ninja myself. My fervor for chakra control forced me to submit a CFS a few days ago that is called "Advanced Chakra Sensing Arts" lol, I know the name sound a little off but I didn't want to drift into med ninjutsu. Most of the ideas I had had a thing or two that required medical training so I had to restrict myself to just chakra sensing. Me being accepted into med school would help me widen my horizon and explore a whole new world of chakra and it's uses; it would improve my cfs and give me more ideas for customs. I hope my salient points would give me a chance to achieve this goal of mine as I am determined and ready to give this programme my all if chosen.
Thanks ^ ^

Carolina Herrera Fall 2013
Carolina Herrera's impeccably groomed models, with their hair twisted into 1940s chignon rolls, and lips of perfect cinnabar red, evoked the look that the designer herself cultivated in the seventies, when she was first launched onto the international society stage with her uniquely personal brand of lacquered Eva Perón–esque retro chic, a look immortalized by artists including Warhol and Mapplethorpe.
This season, Herrera's clothes have that same cinematic quality—if one thinks of the damn-the-expense extravaganzas that great Hollywood studio costumers such as Adrian and Travis Banton dreamt up for stars like Garbo, Crawford, and Dietrich. Even the sound track was made for drama—a riff on Beethoven's Kreutzer Violin Sonata by composer Tom Hodge, whimsically titled "Capriccio for Carolina."
Covered up against the elements and possible charges of impropriety, the Herrera heroine is ready for her big close-up, framing her face with a pussy-cat bow, a standaway neckline, or a swathe of fur—sable dyed plum or spearmint green. (And while we are at it, how about a purple calfskin evening skirt worn with a cerise velvet top?) There are wide-leg pantsuits for a Rosalind Russell or a Katharine Hepburn, perhaps, in flecked biscuit tweeds and crisp gray flannel, and decorous little dresses cinched at the waist with a statement velvet cummerbund that have a whiff of Wallis Windsor to them.
A print of eddying dahlia blooms enhanced the forties mood—especially in a hot pink colorway on black satin with a Shanghai Express flavor. Old-fashioned? Perhaps, but Herrera's ladies want to look like, well, ladies, and their daughters will have fun playing dress-up. Besides, there is nothing sexier than leaving everything to the imagination.
The evening statements include such insouciant gestures as a hostess skirt of greige satin figured with bursting meteorites and worn with a black turtleneck bibbed in chestnut-colored mink, and solo-in-the-spotlight statements including a dramatic black sequined hooded sweater worn with drifting chiffon skirts, and a femme fatale gown of jade green satin with a lariat of self-colored sable tumbling down the back—definitely for a star with above-the-title billing.

I grew up in a house where dinner wasn't complete unless there was something green on the plate – or at least something colorful and nutrient-dense. Some days it was sautéed spinach or steamed broccoli or roasted bell peppers, but most often it was a salad.
This meal standard has quietly followed me into adulthood (with the exception of a hardcore grilled cheese phase in college) – I find myself always searching for that all-important color on my plate.
Sydney winter has got me craving warm vegetable dishes in the place of the usual salad. This recipe for a baked Greek-style vegetable casserole is perfect for all sorts of vegetables (and for cleaning out the crisper drawer) – topped with feta and dill, it's comforting and vegetable-packed with a robust Greek flavor.
It makes the perfect side dish for fish or meat, or simply have it as a meal on its own with some crusty bread or rice. A fried egg on top never hurt anyone either.
Greek-Style Vegetable Casserole

12.12.12 Concert ends with an on-stage Nirvana reunion and Paul McCartney
Listen to Paul McCartney on iHeartRadio
The 12.12.12 Concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City drew in billions of viewers from all over the world, and what better way to end it than with Sir Paul McCartney. He performed a number of songs, including some from his Beatles days. McCartney rocked the crowd and everyone at home with hits like "Helter Skelter," "Blackbird," "Let Me Roll," "Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five," and "I've Got a Feeling."
But the rock star didn't stop there, revealing a few surprises that were up his sleeve throughout his performance. He brought out Diana Krall to accompany him on the Piano to sing "Valentine."
But, the biggest surprise yet was an on-stage Nirvana reunion with Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear when they joined Sir Paul to debut their new song.
To end the night McCartney invited all of the service men, who responded to Hurricane Sandy, up on stage to personally shake all of their hands while - ANOTHER surprise - Alicia Keys came out to play, what else but "Empire State of Mind."

Huffman would then endorse the checks over to andrew young to be used for whatever the senator might need.
Before Rielle Hunter, there were "several women," andrew young tells Diane Dimond.
He directed U.N. ambassador andrew young to make opposing apartheid in South Africa central to his work.
It was a completely different andrew young, perhaps because he knew his time on the stand was winding down.
The two-time presidential candidate and vice-presidential wannabe immediately called andrew young.
But it is not andrew young who started the conspiracy, he said, and Young is not the one on trial.
The Daily Beast tracks the best parts of the new John Edwards tell-all The Politician, by his former aide andrew young.
andrew young actually turned over more items than the court order demanded.
This jury could easily be stuck on who the bad guy is in this case—andrew young or John Edwards.
"andrew young gave up his dignity and self-respect…and agreed to help hide the continuing affair," Higdon said.
"young animals collectively, offspring," late 15c., from young (adj.).
Old English geong "youthful, young," from Proto-Germanic *jungas (cf. Old Saxon and Old Frisian jung, Old Norse ungr, Middle Dutch jonc, Dutch jong, Old High German and German jung, Gothic juggs), from PIE *juwngkos, from PIE root *yeu- "vital force, youthful vigor" (cf. Sanskrit yuva "young," Latin juvenis "young," Lithuanian jaunas, Old Church Slavonic junu, Russian junyj "young," Old Irish oac, Welsh ieuanc "young").
From c.1830-1850, Young France, Young Italy, etc., were loosely applied to "republican agitators" in various monarchies; also, especially in Young England, Young America, used generally for "typical young person of the nation." For Young Turk, see Turk.
"young animals collectively, offspring," late 15c., from young (adj.).
Young (yŭng), John. Born 1907.
British biologist whose experiments with the giant nerve cells of squid have contributed to the knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of nerves.
Young , Thomas. 1773-1829.
British physician and physicist who in 1801 postulated the three-color theory of color vision. Young also discovered (1801) astigmatism and described accommodation.
British physicist and physician who is best known for his contributions to the wave theory of light and his discovery of how the lens of the human eye changes shape to focus on objects of different distances. He also studied surface tension and elasticity, and Young's modulus (a measure of the rigidity of materials) is named for him. He is also credited with the first scientific definition of the word energy.

Despite its world-class shred scene, Copper lacks the crowds common elsewhere in Summit County. For Woodward at Copper Head, Coach Rick Shimpeno says Copper's tight-knit feel causes "many of the sessions to feel like family reunions." Here are some of his family secrets: Start by finding Mario Land, a hidden zone filled with stumps, bumps, and pow stashes. Next, make your way to the Playground and Woodward Central parks before rolling into the Superpipe. Top up by grabbing a slice of pizza at Jack's before hopping back on the chair. On pow days, make some slashes on the steep, rolling terrain by the A chair. For post-shred fun, snag a skate session at Woodward, drinks at Endo's, or grub at Alpinista.

Had a good time at Hurley's with a few of the Summiteers:
The inimitable Ian Cobb, 24 Cups, Kevin von Steendelaar, JD, Punkster, Peter from Whitehorse, Serious Fan 09 and Todd Denault, who's been kind enough to quote me in The Greatest Game, his new book about the 1975 New Year's Eve game between the Canadiens and Red Army.
I was at the Forum for that classic.
I was also in the Bell Centre last night.
It wasn't the greatest game, and I said most of what I want to say in Quick Hits.
For the most trenchant analysis, I have to quote my great and good friend François Gagnon:
"Too many (Canadiens) played at the end of their sticks. And when you have to extend your arms and your stick it's because you're too far from the action. And if you're too far from the action it's because you're not skating enough to get there or you're afraid of finding yourself there."
Lack of intensity, aversion to hard work and disinclination to do the messy things you have to do to win hockey games.
All these lacuna were in ample evidence against the Senators.
And when your Montreal Canadiens get outworked, they lose.
The usual capacity crowd had two thrills the whole game:
• Brian Gionta finally scored a goal, and
• Mathieu Darche laid out Peter Regin with a thunderous hit at the Canadiens blueline.
Both occurred in the third period. Had they happened earlier, the outcome may have been different.
My friend Gagnon points out what a total joke it was that Brian Elliott was the game's Third Star on the basis of 21 fairly easy saves. He'd have picked Erik Karlsson, whose on-target point shots led to the first two Ottawa goals.
En route to a season-low 23 shots, there was no flow to the Canadiens offensive game.
And en route to a 32-20 hit advantage, there was no sustained forechecking that would have hampered Ottawa zone clearances and led to pressure that might have made Elliott earn his star.
Maybe it was fatigue. While the Canadiens were playing in Buffalo, the Senators were chillin' in Montreal … although it must be said a Friday night in my swinging hometown can be more rigorous than skating to a win over the woeful Sabres.
Maybe it was line tinkering. Tomas Plekanec and Scott Gomez (who was pretty good last night) had a variety of wingers and didn't particularly click with any of them.
Maybe it was indifferent play by the fourth line. As Frankie writes (the man is a sage), it's permissible for Dustin Boyd, Tom Pyatt and Maxim Lapierre to be at the end of their shift for the first goal-against by a resurgent Kovy. But then to be soft in your own end and give one up to the Senators' fourth line – that sucks, especially when you never score, as is the case with Boyd, Pyatt and the MIA Max (who had a couple Top Six shifts late in the game).
Credit Andrei Kostitsyn with hard work and involvement (six hits), but he had no SoG.
Cammalleri had one measly shot and took a brutal penalty to negate a
power play … though the announcement of a penalty has been sufficient
to negate this team's PPs. Canadiens are dead last in power play
efficiency, and the Sun newspapers' Chris Stevenson had a good line: "Were Glen Metropolit and Marc-André Bergeron THAT important?"
The D wasn't very good.
Andrei Markov was out of gas and shouldn't have been on the ice with Carey Price out and the Canadiens pressing for a third goal.
P.K. Subban was minus-2 and played a season-low 17:17 … although it must have seemed longer to the kid because he's paired with Hal Gill and it just isn't working.
Carey Price?
The Senators went at him pretty hard in the first period and had bodies in his face all night. Price was full-value for his Second Star selection.
Not that it will help Rick Moffat.
I learned, at Hurley's, that the CJAD play-by-play man has a bet going with Patrick V. Hickey on which goaltender, Price or Jaro Halak, will have more wins, a better GAA and a higher save percentage this season.
Shall I enliven the Comments section by pointing out Hick's lead in all three categories?
Festifan at the Bell Centre today, Vancouver on Tuesday night.
Unless the Canadiens play much better than they did last night, a rare visit by the Canucks will not be overly festive.

GSA Announces Changes in FTS
September 19, 1997
Contact: Hap Connors or
Bill Bearden (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC -- The U.S. General Services Administration today announced several major changes that will occur by year's end at the helm of the Federal Telecommunications Service, which manages the government's telecommunications program.
In making the announcement, GSA Administrator David J. Barram said he has appointed Dennis J. Fischer, the current GSA chief financial officer, as commissioner FTS, and Sandra N. Bates, the current FTS assistant commissioner for service delivery, as deputy commissioner. Appointments are effective December 2, 1997 and January 4, 1998, respectively.
Fischer will replace Bob Woods, who has signed up for GSA's buyout and will retire after 29 years of public service. Bates takes over for John Okay, who, after more than 30 years of government service, will retire at the end of the year. Woods and Okay plan to continue their professional affiliation in the private sector.
Fischer, who has 27 years of Federal government service and also extensive experience in the private sector, brings to FTS a strong background in financial and telecommunications management. As GSA's CFO since 1992, he has oversight of the development, administration, and coordination of all financial management systems for the agency. Fischer has received numerous awards for his successful management efforts. Under his leadership, GSA has received top marks from the Office of Management and Budget for the agency's financial accountability reports.
Bates has served in government for nearly 30 years, most of which were in positions that focused on telecommunications and information technology. Bates was the head of NASA communications systems responsible for all local and intercity and worldwide networks before joining FTS in 1996. In 1995, she was the chairperson of the Interagency Management Council, which was instrumental in developing the acquisition strategy for post FTS2000 merging local and long-distance service. The IMC serves essentially as a Board of Directors for the development, coordination and oversight of all Federal government telecommunications programs and policies.
Barram said, "The backgrounds and experiences of Dennis Fischer and Sandy Bates complement each other and will help continue the outstanding FTS programs and services."
Barram said that the changes will "in no way" impede the solicitation of the FTS2001 due at the end of October. He said that Bruce Brignull, assistant commissioner for service development, and the long-time manager of that solicitation, will continue to move the solicitation forward.
Barram said, "Bob Woods and John Okay have done a wonderful job of shepherding the Federal government's telecommunications program in these extraordinary times. FTS2000 has been a great success and they have led the building of a solid foundation for the next generation. Because of their persistent efforts, today the Federal government has the lowest long-distance rates in the market."
Bill Early, GSA's budget director, will be acting chief financial officer. No replacement has been named for the assistant commissioner for FTS service delivery.

We recognize that individuals interested in the MSL program will have varying time commitments. To accommodate these needs, the MSL program at UC Hastings is offered both on a full-time and part-time basis. Course requirements are the same for both programs.
Full-time students will be expected to complete their degree requirements in two consecutive semesters in one academic year, and because of the intensive nature of the coursework, students are not encouraged to work during the academic year. Full-time course work typically includes completing 12-14 units a semester.
The part-time MSL program is meant to accommodate working professionals who cannot complete their degree requirements in one academic year. Part-time MSL students must complete their degree requirements within four years of enrolling in the program. In order to be eligible for financial aid, part-time students must be taking at least six units a semester.

Problem Set
This passage is followed by a group of questions to be answered based on what is stated or implied in the passage. For some questions, more than one choice could conceivably answer the question. However, choose the best answer; the one that most accurately and completely answers the question.
In the United States the per capita costs of schooling have risen almost as fast as the cost of medical treatment. But increased treatment by both doctors and teachers has shown steadily declining results. Medical expenses concentrated on those above forty-five have doubled several times over a period of forty years with a resulting 3 percent increase in the life expectancy of men. The increase in educational expenditures has produced even stranger results; otherwise President Nixon could not have been moved this spring to promise that every child shall soon have the "Right to Read" before leaving school.
In the United States it would take eighty billion dollars per year to provide what educators regard as equal treatment for all in grammar and high school. This is well over twice the $36 billion now being spent. Independent cost projections prepared at HEW and at the University of Florida indicate that by 1974 the comparable figures will be $107 billion as against the $45 billion now projected, and these figures wholly omit the enormous costs of what is called "higher education," for which demand is growing even faster. The United States, which spent nearly eighty billion dollars in 1969 for "defense," including its deployment in Vietnam, is obviously too poor to provide equal schooling. The President's committee for the study of school finance should ask not how to support or how to trim such increasing costs, but how they can be avoided.
Equal obligatory schooling must be recognized as at least economically unfeasible. In Latin America the amount of public money spent on each graduate student is between 350 and 1,500 times the amount spent on the median citizen (that is, the citizen who holds the middle ground between the poorest and the richest). In the United States the discrepancy is smaller, but the discrimination is keener. The richest parents, some 10 percent, can afford private education for their children and help them to benefit from foundation grants. But in addition they obtain ten times the per capita amount of public funds if this is compared with the per capita expenditure made on the children of the 10 percent who are poorest. The principal reasons for this are that rich children stay longer in school, that a year in a university is disproportionately more expensive than a year in high school, and that most private universities depend—at least indirectly—on tax-derived finances.
Obligatory schooling inevitably polarizes a society; it also grades the nations of the world according to an international caste system. Countries are rated like castes whose educational dignity is determined by the average years of schooling of its citizens, a rating which is closely related to per capita gross national product, and much more painful.
The author would most likely agree with which one of the following solutions to the problems presented by obligatory education?

Astros edge Tribe, end five-game skid
HOUSTON -- Houston's Lucas Harrell struggled with his command on Friday night and was livid when he was pulled in the sixth inning.
His night ended up turning out all right though thanks to a strong performance by the Astros bullpen.
J.D. Martinez and Rick Ankiel hit back-to-back homers in the second inning and the Astros held on for a 3-2 win over the Cleveland Indians.
The win snaps a five-game skid for Houston and extends Cleveland's losing streak to five.
Harrell (1-2) allowed two runs in 5 2/3 innings before three relievers combined to shut Cleveland out the rest of the way.
Closer Jose Veras allowed one hit in the ninth for his first save in two tries.
"I was struggling to throw strikes again, it's just kind of been a trend right now," Harrell said. "It's something I need to work on between starts and definitely focus on that. If the defense wouldn't have played so well and if we wouldn't have scored some runs early, it could have been a rough night."
Carlos Pena walked with one out in the second inning before Martinez got Houston's first hit by launching a homer in the stands in right field off former Astro Brett Myers (0-3) to make it 2-0. Martinez left the game with a sprained knee in the fourth inning.
Ankiel followed with another homer to right field to push the lead to 3-0.
Lonnie Chisenhall closed the gap to 3-2 when he connected on a homer that sailed just inside the foul pole in right field in the fourth inning.
Myers, who was facing Houston for the first time since a trade last summer, allowed five hits and three runs with four strikeouts in five innings. He has given up an MLB-high 10 home runs with an 8.02 ERA in four games with three starts this season.
Harrell was chased by a single by Mark Reynolds with two outs in the sixth inning, and was none too happy about it. He stalked off the field before throwing his glove, hat and a cup of water when he reached the dugout.
He yielded five hits and two runs with five walks and four strikeouts.
Wesley Wright and Hector Ambriz combined to allow two hits in 2 1/3 innings before Veras came on for the save.
"I stress this all the time: there are going to be different break points in the game, and when you win those break points you put yourself in the best position to win the ball game," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "And we were able to do that tonight, and those guys continued to make pitches and made quality pitches to get out of those tough jams."
The Indians couldn't string together any hits late in the game as they fell to 0-10 this season when trailing after six innings. Jason Kipnis singled with two outs in the seventh inning before Asdrubal Cabrera struck out swinging to end the inning. The frustration for Cabrera, who is hitting .138, was evident after the strikeout when he angrily threw his bat.
Nick Swisher doubled to start the eighth before Carlos Santana drew a one-out walk. But Reynolds grounded into a double play to end the threat.
The Indians haven't been able to generate much offense this season and have been held to three runs or less in five straight games and 10 of 15 overall.
"We did have opportunities," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "I think what happens sometimes is, guys try too hard. We had a couple of chances, and we rolled over. We had opportunities to win that game because of our pitching."
Martinez left the game in the fourth inning after spraining his right knee while batting. Martinez was injured on a check swing. His knee buckled and he fell to the ground in pain.
He remained on the ground for a couple of minutes while Astros trainers attended to him. He was then helped to his feet and hobbled with assistance back to the dugout. He was replaced by Brandon Barnes and is listed as day to day.
He said after the game that he was "achy and sore" but that he should be OK.
"I was just bummed out more that I couldn't finish the game really," Martinez said. "I was feeling good and I knew it was going to be a good game."

text: A two year old boy was mauled to death at the Pittsburgh zoo because his mother let him stand on the railings and accidentally dropped him into a pit of African wild dogs. This story is so heartbreaking and makes me so sad, but I decided to write about it because I just don't understand how parents are so willing to put their children into unnecessary danger. It is no different from when Michael Jackson dangled his child over a hotel room balcony, he just happened to not accidentally drop his child. I don't understand why you put your child in a car seat to keep them safe, but then think it is a great idea to dangle them over wild animals or over a balcony railing. The zookeepers were incredibly fast and made valiant effort, but they could not save the life of the boy. The mother of the boy is currently being medicated for shock.

Fire crews investigating lightning as possible source of house fire
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
The Charleston Fire Department is investigating a late-night fire off Clements Ferry Road.
According to Fire Marshal, Mike Julazadeh, fire department units from Charleston, North Charleston, and Awendaw were dispatched to a reported structure fire at 1201 Circle Oaks Drive Monday night. The 911 caller reported a possible lightning strike prior to the fire.
The first arriving units reported heavy fire at or near the roof of the structure and requested a second alarm. The building is a townhouse or similar structure. The bulk of the fire was extinguished by within 45 minutes but crews continued spraying hotspots and opening areas of the structure to expose hidden fire.
No injuries were reported, and a fire investigation will be initiated as soon as practical.
