When is this on? I cant seem to find it. Thanks BSL :)

There are two types of extentions. Clip ons and those that individual pieces of hair are glued to your own hair close to the scalp. You cannot run a brush or comb through your hair as it will catch on the spots where they are attached but other than that you can wash your hair normally. I have a friend with very fine thin hair who has had them for many years. I don't know how often they have to be replaced. I have not heard her mention that they have damaged her hair but that does not mean it hasn't! She would never go without them.
Weaves are a horse of a different color and not to be confused with extentions.
You can pretty much guess that if someone has hair long enough to cover their breasts and it falls in those ubiquitous curls, it is not their hair. Patty's look good because she wears them straight. Another tell tell sign of extentions if the person wearing them constantly touches the pieces that fall in front. Mariah Carey is over the top with touching her hair. JLo never does this.
I think it is fair to say that most everyone in movies and TV have some form of added hair. Joan Rivers often takes a clip on off and hands it to a guest if the subject calls for it.
Okay. It's settled. I'm going to try some clip ons and see how they look. It's probably the kind of thing you need to try in person though, right? I'm going to buy them and take me with me to the salon next time when I get a trim. Certainly, they can help me place them in, right?
I would guess you match your hair color, but today, I see hair color all over the place. It really doesn't matter how the color comes together. It's all okay.
I kid because for the last couple of years, I have touched up my own roots between visits. I'm not too concerned over a color mismatch, since most people would assume I intended for it to be that way however it turns out, blonde, light blonde, auburn, etc. LOL
I tried clip on, there is a store in the mall, they only do wigs and clip on , all sorts of extensions. It looked pretty good, not too long, just thicker.I just cant be fussed with all that.I would keep them for date nights with hubby
I hadn't seen the show this season.
Then the other night, I caught the tail end of a repeat with Denise Richards' dad. Good for him. I've seen him when he was on Denise's show and he seems very well grounded and affable.
As far as Patti, she's had a lot of work done this year, it seems. Eyes, cheekbones, lips. I do wish she'd lose the heavily frosted lipcolor. Not real attractive.
I do love that Rachel and the husband have been toned down. She looks actually pretty without the garish do and he looks so much better without the Mohawk.
I do prefer the other Matchmaker - the one from New York with the long straight blond hair. I guess Andy likes Patti though - probably the crazies she has on bring bigger ratings. Looks like the other Matchmaker got sent packing. Too bad, as I found her way more believable in terms of her clients.
Yeah, Patti claims that her lips are natural...I disagree..she has that weird line/indentation around them, esp at top.
and they aren't pretty. And I really don't care what people do re plastic surgery...but if it looks strange, I'm happy to say so. :)
The extensions I had were pieces of human hair...you could get straight, wavy or curly and you could get different colors to look like your hair had different tones in it. I went w/my friend who is also my hair stylist....and here in So Cal, hair shops are everywhere.
my new extensions were attached with a little metal band to a few strands of my hair....she worked a few lines around my head, from ear to ear.
I didn't know that I shouldn't put them in if I was losing hair, which is why I wanted them. But it didn't seem to make a difference. I don't think I'd like the idea of gluing pieces of hair to my hair.
They annoyed me....I hated not being able to really run a brush or comb thru my hair. It felt really weird to run your hand thru your hair. You have to be careful that your hairdo doesn't show these little attachments because that looks really bad.
But it did what I wanted it to do and that was important and worth putting up with small negative things. If you have really thin hair and always wanted it to be fuller, go for it...but I still wouldn't use glue.
I would never know that Patti had extensions except when she and Rachel acted nicely envious of one girl with lots of thick long hair. Seems like Rachel has them too....and doesn't she look so much better??!!! She looks wonderful.
I believe her lips are real. That indentation never happens with lip augmentation. I have a friend with those lips.
Perhaps they are. However, they appear to have grown quite a bit since the show initially premiered.;)
The way you apply lipstick can make your lips look larger than they are, too. You can contour with makeup....many different body parts.

text: Make a Matchstick RocketEsther Inglis-Arkell10/21/11 2:55pmFiled to: ExperimentsSciencePhysicsChemistryFuntweetFb16EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkA few matchsticks, some paperclips, and some aluminum foil allow you to make a miniature rocket that really flies! Transport a little rocket from a model globe to a model of the moon in the comfort of your room. (Note: Don't actually do this in the comfort of your room.)AdvertisementNot everyone has the same idea of fun, but there is no question that certain things are agreed to be fun by everybody. Among these are fire, shiny things, and things that fly around. These three things come together in a tiny, shiny little rocket the size of a matchstick. Making a matchstick rocket takes only a few minutes, at least some of which should be used in finding a large empty space, without any flammable objects. First take a roughly three-quarter-inch square piece of aluminum foil and wrap it around the head of a matchstick. Insert a pin between the foil and the stick and push it up towards the match head, creating a little tunnel. Next grab a paperclip and bend the outer segment out to make a triangular base. Pull the inner curve up so it is angled upwards like a ramp. Put a large segment of aluminum foil on the ground and set the paperclip launchpad on it. Carefully place the matchstick on the ramp. Grab another match, light it, and hold it under the aluminum foil covered head of the match-rocket. The rocket should zoom off and fly around.AdvertisementThe chemicals on the head of the match are the fuel for this rocket. When they start to burn, they give off fast-moving gas. The gas escapes through the tunnel created by the pin, shooting backwards. The backward movement 'pushes off' on the foil and shoots the matchstick forward. And what you have is a shiny, flaming thing that flies around the room. That always has to be fun.Top Image: Levi SzekeresSecond Image: Physics CentralSponsoredVia Physics Central.Reply16 repliesLeave a reply

27 March 2013 The potential of young people to use technology to make exceptional contributions to society and history is in the spotlight today at a United Nations forum, where officials are calling on future leaders to use their expertise and compassion to address the challenges facing the world.
In his opening statement, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon encouraged participants to be "global citizens" and to help the Organizations rise to the challenges such as insecurity, climate change and unemployment by finding their own mission in life.
"Be part of creating a new vision. It is not only about telling us what kind of world you want. It is about partnering with us to realize a better future," he told participants at the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Youth Forum in New York.
The forum's theme focuses on leveraging science, technology, innovation and culture to improve societies. Participants are 'tomorrow's innovators', including youth representatives from Member States, students and young entrepreneurs with science and technology backgrounds and youth-led non-governmental organizations.
Mr. Ban noted that working with youth is one of his top priorities because "young leaders have the energy and ideas we need to change our world."
He stressed the essential role of education, adding a personal note about the power of education as he was growing up in the Republic of Korea.
"When we give children and youth the education they deserve, they will help transform the world," he said. He also noted his new initiative, Education First, a $1.5 billion initiative to achieve universal education.
Also speaking at the opening of the forum, ECOSOC President Néstor Osorio reiterated the need to overcome obstacles on education and employment, particularly among women and girls.
Young people are three times more likely to be unemployed than adults and more than 75 million youth worldwide are looking for work, according to the UN International Labour Organization (ILO). In Europe and the Middle East, more than half of 15 to 24 year olds are without jobs.
Mr. Osorio noted the new opportunities for young entrepreneurs through start-up companies in arts, technology and advertising businesses.
Social networking sites, he noted, played an important role in promoting the so-called Arab Spring by "giving the youth a voice and making them an important player in the transformation of the region." In addition, mobile phones are pushing development by allowing users to browse the Internet and transfer money wirelessly.
"Young people need economic opportunity. Young people want the full enjoyment of their political and civil rights and freedoms. Speaking their minds; participating in politics; practicing the religion of their choice; and living their lives without any form of discrimination are some of their legitimate aspirations," Mr. Osorio said.
"Meaningful participation, openness, inclusion and accountability can be improved by using technology, science, and culture. They all can serve as a vital engine for positive change," he added.
Among the youth addressing participants was 15-year-old World Food Programme Youth Representative Adora Svitak, who encouraged young people to change history with their tremendous audacity and imagination.
Some people think kids and power is a dangerous combination, Ms. Svitak said, "but the only danger is transformational change."
She said young people are instrumental in supporting and encouraging their peers, and creating change online by toppling regimes and shifting attitudes.
Also, the Secretary-General's Envoy for Youth, Ahmad Alhendawi, said that engaging young people in addressing global challenges is important because they are at the very fore in both using and developing tools in the field of science, technology and innovation.
"Young people are engines of growth and human development," he said in a statement.
In a plan for change outlined by Mr. Ban, the Youth Envoy's role encompassed four principles: participation, advocacy, partnerships and harmonization.
Fully endorsing the plan, Mr. Ban encouraged young people to communicate with the UN through the meeting places and cyberspace, such as by following the UN on Twitter (@UN) and to tweet the Envoy directly at @AhmadAlhendawi.
Meanwhile, ECOSOC is today launching a major online campaign, 'Innovate Your Future.' The online forum allows youth between the ages of 15 and 40 to write in their ideas and thoughts on how science, technology, innovation and culture can help shape a sustainable world.
For example, one person suggests "to come up with a solar-powered irrigation system" while another advocates "designing homes that consume less power."
The concerns and recommendations brought forward on the site, along with the ideas from today's forum, will be presented at the ECOSOC High-level Segment in Geneva this July for ministers from Member States.
The Council also launched a Thunderclap campaign inviting all people around the world to support the cause of youth.

Churchill's Speech Impediment Was Stuttering
Churchill's Speech Impediment Was Stuttering
by John Mather, M.D.
The Baltimore Sun Sunday November 17,2002, raises the issue as to whether Churchill was a stutterer or simply had a lisp. The American Stuttering Foundation claims that he was a stutterer and continues to use him as their "pin-up boy" in its advertisements in medical journals, claiming that this is documented in several books.
Fiona Reynoldson's book Winston Churchill, which seeks to capture the imagination and attention of younger readers comments that, "Churchill came home on leave in 1897 and went to see a doctor in London about his lisp. He pronounced "s" as "sh". Nothing was found to be wrong, but the lisp never went away. Despite this, he made his first political speech during his leave and later became a great orator in the House of Commons."
So what is the correct diagnosis: "stuttering" or a "lisp"?
All his life Churchill had an impediment of his speech, not unlike his father's speech defect, in which he also had difficulty in pronouncing the letter "s". Just before Churchill returned to India in 1897 he consulted Sir Felix Semen, a noted specialist in speech problems, who was also an appointed Physician-in-Ordinary to the Court. He told Churchill that there was no organic defect and that "practice and perseverance are alone necessary" for him to overcome his impediment. In his biography, Dr. Semon is said to have commented, "I have just seen the most extraordinary young man I have ever met".
Later on Churchill was advised by an American masseuse that his tongue was "restrained by a ligament which nobody else has". This he thought provided "the true explanation of my speaking through my nose". This was similar to the earlier description that the Boers had put in the advertisement for his capture after escaping prison: "during long conversations he occasionally makes a rattling noise in his throat". When he saw Dr. Semon about cutting the ligament, he refused to do so and Churchill told his mother that he was still tongue "tied".
Churchill did persevere and worked on his pronunciation rehearsing such phrases as "The Spanish ships I cannot see for they are not in sight". This sort 'exercise' was intended to cure him of his problem with pronouncing the sibilant "s". And so Churchill continued to practice. He later stated that he would become a great public speaker, after a particularly well-received political speech, saying, "My impediment is no hindrance".
We know a lot about stuttering although the precise etiology is not known, although thought to be a specific neurological impairment in the brain. Children, especially boys, aged 2 to 5 may exhibit stutterring that in almost all instances completely recovers. Reports of Churchill by his family and cousins do not mention stuttering. Later on Churchill dictated to many 'secretaries' and none mention any hesitation (possible stuttering) in his speech but rather a charming lisp. All secretaries that took dictation, but one, agree that any hesitation was a 'searching' for the right words.
Journalists have commented on many of Churchill's speeches and have consistently observed a lisp. Many who have listened to his speeches comment on the varying cadence, and hesitations, that he used to great effect. This was part of his "stage craft", a trick of oratory for emphasis and he did practice his orations and speeches to achieve their maximum effect not to mask a stutter.
When listening to his speeches it becomes evident that he did try to avoid wherever it seemed possible words beginning and ending with an 's', and, even when he did use such words, became a charming part of his intonation and oratory. There is one word he did mutilate, to his great advantage, by talking about the "Narzees" rather than the "Nazis".
So it was a lisp after all.
Note by the editor, 24 April 2008:
We have received correspondence from a gentleman who insists that despite everything Dr Mather has written above, lisp or no lisp, Churchill also stuttered. He even has a website to this effect. We don't recommend it! Our correspondent cites such sources as Louis Adamic's "Dinner at the White House" (1946) and Phyllis Moir's "I Was Winston Churchill's Private Secretary" (1941). He ends by writing that the absence of stuttering in Churchill's broadcasts was "presumably edited out by Allied censors."
Allied censors? What can the gent be smoking? How did they censor his BBC radio broadcasts that went live all over the world? He seems to have rounded up every spurious source there is to prove a non-fact. Not the first time in Churchill's case.
For instance, Louis Adamic despised Churchill, and the first edition of his highly unreliable book was actually libelous. Churchill sued and won: one of the few times he sued anybody for the things they said about him. The book was withdrawn and the offending lines removed.
Phyllis Moir spent all of two months on Churchill's 1932 US lecture tour playing part-time secretary, and managed to parlay this brief experience into a book which contradicts every other secretary who ever wrote or spoke about Churchill's habits, and not just stuttering. These include: Grace Hamblin, Elizabeth Nel, Elizabeth Gilliatt, Marian Holmes, Patrick Kinna, Lettice Marston, Violet Pearman, Jane Portal, Doreen Pugh, Mary Shearburn, Jo Sturdee, Kathleen Hill. Talked to six of them myself.
He had plenty of faults and problems, but Churchill didn't stutter. Countless authorities including a dozen or more close associates interviewed by us over the years testify repeatedly that what casual observers thought was a stutter was his habit of groping for words as he spoke or dictated a speech. Every secretary who ever took his dictation (except Moir) agreed.
Churchill turned both his lisp and his word-groping into props, which he used effectively and efficiently, combined with the "loaded pause." But to call this stuttering is a disservice to people who really do suffer from stuttering. -RML

Hey everyone, I'm a Pisces sun/Cancer moon female who was in a short-term realtionship with a younger Scorpio sun/Pisces moon guy. He was so determined to know me and I admired that, so gave him a chance to know me. We've goten so close to each other and always enjoyed having deep conversations and cud be ourselves around each other easily! He was so loving every second when together and nevr wanted to part : /
He has told me about an ex. (8months), says she was cheating on him for 3 months and was a gold digger. I am nothig like that at all and never have been. I'm a true defitniton of Pisces ! : ) but he has accused me once of being like her?
Anyways, he just stopped talking to me for no reason agoing on a month now, won't explain why he won't talk, I was so hurt by his actions and kept asking him whatt did I doo, that I think I kinda forced him to tell me that he wasn't gona bother wwith me anymore. But he never gave mme reason WHY which doesn't give me any closure at all and hurts like hell b/c we were so deeeply connected?
I'm thinking he was still hurting over his ex and wasn't healed from what they went thru, since it wasn't too long b4 they broke up b4 he met me. Is he a Scorpio scorned whodecided to show me the bad side when he thought I cud possibly turn out like her or ppossibly b/c his feelings for her aren't healed yet?
I just can't undrstand for the life of me, how can u just completely ignore sum1 who u care so deeply for and who has never ever done u wrong? Scorpios? Help please...thanks for taking the time out to read evry1

Biologically inactive clindamycin phosphate is rapidly converted to active clindamycin.
By the end of short-term intravenous infusion, peak serum levels of active clindamycin are reached. Biologically inactive clindamycin phosphate disappears rapidly from the serum; the average elimination half-life is 6 minutes; however, the serum elimination half-life of active clindamycin is about 3 hours in adults and 2½ hours in pediatric patients.
After intramuscular injection of clindamycin phosphate, peak levels of active clindamycin are reached within 3 hours in adults and 1 hour in pediatric patients. Serum level curves may be constructed from IV peak serum levels as given in Table 1 by application of elimination half-lives listed above.
Serum levels of clindamycin can be maintained above the in vitro minimum inhibitory concentrations for most indicated organisms by administration of clindamycin phosphate every 8 to 12 hours in adults and every 6 to 8 hours in pediatric patients, or by continuous intravenous infusion. An equilibrium state is reached by the third dose.
The elimination half-life of clindamycin is increased slightly in patients with markedly reduced renal or hepatic function. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are not effective in removing clindamycin from the serum. Dosage schedules need not be modified in the presence of mild or moderate renal or hepatic disease.
No significant levels of clindamycin are attained in the cerebrospinal fluid even in the presence of inflamed meninges.
Pharmacokinetic studies in elderly volunteers (61–79 years) and younger adults (18–39 years) indicate that age alone does not alter clindamycin pharmacokinetics (clearance, elimination half-life, volume of distribution, and area under the serum concentration-time curve) after IV administration of clindamycin phosphate. After oral administration of clindamycin hydrochloride, elimination half-life is increased to approximately 4.0 hours (range 3.4–5.1 h) in the elderly compared to 3.2 hours (range 2.1– 4.2 h) in younger adults. The extent of absorption, however, is not different between age groups and no dosage alteration is necessary for the elderly with normal hepatic function and normal (age-adjusted) renal function1.
Serum assays for active clindamycin require an inhibitor to prevent in vitro hydrolysis of clindamycin phosphate.

Although clindamycin phosphate is inactive in vitro, rapid in vivo hydrolysis converts this compound to the antibacterially active clindamycin.
Clindamycin has been shown to have in vitro activity against isolates of the following organisms:
Aerobic gram positive cocci, including:
- Staphylococcus aureus (penicillinase and non-penicillinase producing strains). When tested by in vitro methods, some staphylococcal strains originally resistant to erythromycin rapidly develop resistance to clindamycin.
- Staphylococcus epidermidis (penicillinase and non-penicillinase producing strains). When tested by in vitro methods, some staphylococcal strains originally resistant to erythromycin rapidly develop resistance to clindamycin.
- Streptococci (except Enterococcus faecalis)
- Pneumococci
Anaerobic gram negative bacilli, including:
- Bacteroides species (including Bacteroides fragilis group and Bacteroides melaninogenicus group)
- Fusobacterium species
Anaerobic gram positive nonsporeforming bacilli, including:
- Propionibacterium
- Eubacterium
- Actinomyces species
Anaerobic and microaerophilic gram positive cocci, including:
- Peptococcus species
- Peptostreptococcus species
- Microaerophilic streptococci
Clostridia: Clostridia are more resistant than most anaerobes to clindamycin. Most Clostridium perfringens are susceptible, but other species, e.g., Clostridium sporogenes and Clostridium tertium are frequently resistant to clindamycin. Susceptibility testing should be done.
Cross resistance has been demonstrated between clindamycin and lincomycin.
Antagonism has been demonstrated between clindamycin and erythromycin.
In vitro Susceptibility Testing
Disk diffusion technique-Quantitative methods that require measurement of zone diameters give the most precise estimates of antibiotic susceptibility. One such procedure2 has been recommended for use with disks to test susceptibility to clindamycin.
Reports from a laboratory using the standardized single-disk susceptibility test1 with a 2 mcg clindamycin disk should be interpreted according to the following criteria:
Susceptible organisms produce zones of 17 mm or greater, indicating that the tested organism is likely to respond to therapy.
Organisms of intermediate susceptibility produce zones of 15–16 mm, indicating that the tested organism would be susceptible if a high dosage is used or if the infection is confined to tissues and fluids (e.g., urine), in which high antibiotic levels are attained.
Resistant organisms produce zones of 14 mm or less, indicating that other therapy should be selected.
Standardized procedures require the use of control organisms. The 2 mcg clindamycin disk should give a zone diameter between 24 and 30 mm for S. aureus ATCC 25923.
Dilution techniques
A bacterial isolate may be considered susceptible if the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for clindamycin is not more than 1.6 mcg/mL. Organisms are considered moderately susceptible if the MIC is greater than 1.6 mcg/mL and less than or equal to 4.8 mcg/mL. Organisms are considered resistant if the MIC is greater than 4.8 mcg per mL.
The range of MICs for the control strains are as follows:
S. aureus ATCC 29213, 0.06 - 0.25 mcg/mL.
E. faecalis ATCC 29212, 4.0 - 16 mcg/mL.
For anaerobic bacteria the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of clindamycin can be determined by agar dilution and broth dilution (including microdilution) techniques.3 If MICs are not determined routinely, the disk broth method is recommended for routine use. THE KIRBY-BAUER DISK DIFFUSION METHOD AND ITS INTERPRETIVE STANDARDS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR ANAEROBES.
Animal Toxicology
One year oral toxicity studies in Spartan Sprague-Dawley rats and beagle dogs at dose levels up to 300 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.1 and 3.6 times the highest recommended adult human dose based on mg/m2, respectively) have shown clindamycin to be well tolerated. No appreciable difference in pathological findings has been observed between groups of animals treated with clindamycin and comparable control groups. Rats receiving clindamycin hydrochloride at 600 mg/kg/day (approximately 2.1 times the highest recommended adult human dose based on mg/m2) for 6 months tolerated the drug well; however, dogs dosed at this level (approximately 7.2 times the highest recommended adult human dose based on mg/m2) vomited, would not eat, and lost weight.

Last day in the Netherlandds
Trip Start
Apr 18, 2013
Trip End
May 06, 2013
We end our stay with dinner in Utrecht. It an interesting atmosphere to be in the middle of a teeny room with tiny tables, that soon fills up with 30 people. All are conversing in Dutch, it gets louder and louder and we are in the middle of the Sat nite buzz and we cannot understand a single word around us. No eavesdropping!!!
What I know about Holland that I didn't before....
The Dutch eat mustard with everything! They dip cheese int it, they dip bread in it, they dip all their appetizers in it!
There is more water and canals than I ever could have imagined. The cities and towns are like Venice, and boats are just as much a part of the transportation as bicycles!
The Netherlands are a people to take of their own decisions and their own well being and safety. It is refreshing to be in a place where they do not expect the government to take care of everything.
The population is astounding!
There is more to Dutch beer than Heineken. Spring Beers are excellent!
Sheep! bezillions of sheep!

WASHINGTON (CBS / AP) — An Energy Department adviser and former fundraiser for President Barack Obama pushed for a Bay Area solar company to receive a half-billion federal loan, despite pledging to recuse himself because his wife's law firm represented the company, newly released emails show.
The emails show that Steve Spinner, a former Obama fundraiser who helped monitor a clean energy loan guarantee program, was more actively involved in a loan for Solyndra LLC than administration officials have acknowledged.
The emails, released by the administration in response to congressional investigators, show that Spinner was actively involved in a planned September 2009 trip by Vice President Joe Biden to Solyndra's Fremont headquarters for a groundbreaking ceremony. Biden did not go on the trip but spoke via satellite. Solyndra declared bankruptcy last month after receiving a $528 million federal loan.
In the emails, Spinner, who founded a sports fitness company, repeatedly pushed Energy Department and White House budget officials to ensure that the loan was finalized before Biden's planned trip. The loan closing was announced at the groundbreaking ceremony on Sept. 4, 2009.
"How—hard is this? What is he waiting for?" Spinner wrote in an Aug, 28, 2009 email to a DOE official. "I have the OVP (Office of the Vice President) and WH (the White House) breathing down my neck on this. They are getting itchy to get involved."
Later that day, Spinner asked the same DOE official to "walk over there and force him to give you the answer.'
The emails refer to a DOE loan guarantee official who was evaluating the Solyndra loan.
A White House official declined to comment when asked if Spinner's conduct was appropriate.
The Obama administration allowed The Associated Press and other news organizations to read the emails on Friday as it prepared to send them to investigators for the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The panel has been looking into the Solyndra and more broadly at the $38 billion loan guarantee program.
Spinner, who served as an adviser to Energy Secretary Steven Chu from April 2009 to September 2010, pledged in writing not to have "active participation" in any solicitation, due diligence or negotiation related to the Solyndra loan, which has become an embarrassment for the White House and a rallying cry for GOP critics of Obama's clean energy program.
Spinner's wife, Allison Berry Spinner, is a partner at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, a firm in Palo Alto that represented Solyndra on the DOE loan. Federal records show the firm received at least $2.4 million in legal fees related to the loan.
In one email, Spinner asks a DOE official whether the White House budget office has completed its review of the Solyndra loan.
"Any word on OMB? Solyndra's getting nervous," he wrote, four minutes after receiving an email form Solyndra.
Energy Department spokesman Damien LaVera said Spinner acted as a liaison for the loan program under the economic stimulus law, but that he played no role in evaluating individual loan applications.
"Because his wife agreed not to participate in or receive any financial compensation from her law firm's work on behalf of any loan program applicant, Mr. Spinner was authorized to oversee and monitor the progress of applications, ensure that the program met its deadlines and milestones, and coordinate possible public announcements," LaVera said in an email Friday.
Spinner "was not allowed to make decisions on the terms or conditions of any particular loan guarantee or decide whether a particular transaction was approved," LaVera said, adding that the arrangement was approved by the Energy Department's ethics officer.
Spinner now is a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank closely identified with the Obama administration, where he focuses on energy policy.
A biography on the CAP website says Spinner "helped oversee the more than $100 billion of loan guarantee and direct lending authority for the Title XVII Loan Guarantee Program and the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing loan program."
An administration official, speaking on condition that he not be identified because of the congressional investigation, said Friday that Spinner "clearly was actively involved in facilitating between DOE and OMB," the White House budget office, but said his main focus was the planned Biden trip for the Solyndra groundbreaking.
Administration officials cited an August 2009 email from Aditya Kumar, an aide to former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, now Chicago mayor. Kumar asks Spinner who are Solyndra's major investors and receives a detailed answer.
The White House "doesn't even know the names of the (Solyndra) investors," said the official, refuting oft-repeated claims by some GOP lawmakers that the Solyndra deal was approved to benefit Oklahoma billionaire George Kaiser, a Solyndra investor and Obama fundraiser.

I was living in Switzerland for a few years and made friends with a woman whose husband was away quite a bit. Soon we became more than friends. I had been at Sarah's house many times for dinner parties, but when Sarah and I first became intimate, we could not keep our hands off of each other for more than an hour at a time. At one dinner with our families, I offered to help her get the beer in the basement. Sarah was dressed in a dark cocktail dress, wearing no panties.
We went dowstairs "to ge the beer" for about five minutes and were all over each other, touching and sucking her as she did me, down in the narrow cement hallway leading to the garage.
So many weeks later, her husband and the nanny were away and the children were asleep when I came to take her. I knew the secret passageway into her house and she had left the door open from the basement to the first floor...for me to find her. I made my way up the darkened stairs.
I opened the bedroom door and looked over at Sarah, asleep in the darkened room. I could smell her perfume, "Ivoire" heavy in the air. It was intoxicating as always, a scent that reminded me so much of her but was so unique on her that no one could arouse me as much with it as she always did. Her face, normally pure, clean and unmade in that lovely but-oh-so-British way, was contoured and designed with a touch of makeup. She had put time and thought to this moment.
She was lying on the old wooden double bed with the high headboard, fast asleep, sprawled across with a few newspapers scattered about, dressed in her silk pyjamas ? my favourite. The two-piece short ensemble, decorated with large light pastel green and red squares, shorts and a short top, with a single button holding the top closed.
I reached out to stroke her hair and unbutton her top and she moaned " ohh, you are here..."
I slowly and quietly took off my blazer, then my twill pants. Soon I was naked.
She was still half asleep. I cupped her head in my right hand and kissed her softly and warmly, reaching my tongue into her mouth. Then I cupped her breasts in my right hand and softly played with her nipples in my fingers, then placed my lips on to her right nipple and sucked softly.
I became harder as she reached out and grabbed my scrotum and then my penis, using both her hands to get me enormous.
"Do you want me to take you in my mouth?" she said. Sarah had only recently been introduced to the delights of fellatio and had become quite adept at it. I kept telling her that she should try it with Bob, but she never seemed all that interested. Only with me.
I reached around to her and slipped off her soft silk pants and slid them down her legs as I moved closer to her. I placed my hand inside her thigh and stroked it as she took me deeper in her mouth. Then I moved my face to her thighs and placed my tongue inside her. I found her already soaking wet. It was a taste I had known so many times before, an elixir of wine and bread, a slight salty taste, but warm and scented with roses. I sought her deeper and deeper, and then rested my tongue on her clitoris, moving it back and forth like a small seedling gr*pe poised on a velvet cushion.
Her clitoris was hard below and yet had a soft touch, and as I could hear her moaning while she took me more. I pushed her panties down her legs so that she was completely naked. Her red hair was wet with the juice of my tongue and her cum...and she began to moan ever softly, as her clit became harder and harder.
As the moments passed, I became more and more focused on the moment, of the taste and the sensation. Gradually I could feel her muscles tightening, and I could tell that she was about to come. I could feel a rumble from within her, and a movement throughout her entire body, accompanied by small gasps.
Then it happened. The rolling, moaning, wild and wet sensation that I knew so well and which always astounded me. She rocked and called out softly, moving backwards and forwards, as her vagina emitted stream after stream of juice.
Then I took my tongue out slowly and darted around the edges as she jerked and erupted so close to my lips. She too, withdrew her mouth from my hardened member to speak.
"I want you, deep inside me."
"HOW deep?"
"Deeper, deeper."
It was clear that she was ready, and like so many times before we went through the ritual asking and requesting, answering and responding.
?Do you want me now?? I asked in anticipation.
?Yes, I want you inside me?, she answered, breathlessly.
?Do you want me deep inside you??
?Yes, I want you deep...deep...inside me.? she stammered.
I began to enter her, Her legs widened so that they were almost perpendicular to her body. The wetness allowed me to slide in easily. My hardness broke past any slight resistance. I was so hard, that I always felt like such a man with Sarah. From the beginning I was always able to get an erection so big that I amazed myself. At least 8 inches, dark and thick.
?How deep?? I asked as I pushed gently in.
Now she was so confident and assured and smiling as she looked up at me.
?Very, very deep.?
?Yes, my love.?
Then slowly we began to move back and forth, as she rocked me between her legs. The prefect rhythm of two people so much in love and so tied in their passion for one another. We kissed and laughed as the joy of being naked and loving struck us. The moments went on and on as we moved back and forth, sometimes moving sideways, at others lying silently and kissing each other so softly. Then I pushed my hands away in push-up form and took my weight off of her, all except for my hardness inside her, pushing hard inside her and against her.
Finally I could see the light reflecting in her eyes as they began to tear a bit and I could feel her vagina begin to tighten. I began to speed up a little, ever so subtly. My kisses became deeper and as the light glow began to appear on her forehead, I could feel the sensation welling up inside of me. Rolling though me from the very bottom of my feet like an express train, it ran through my legs and moved through my thighs, leaving one car to race ahead to my brain, another to my scrotum.
I gasped and whispered in her ear, ?I love you, I love you, I love you? over and over and she whispered it back. Together we were dancing the best tango, the best waltz, this was the perfect moment when our bodies were really one.
Then I could feel her vagina gripping me as she began to come. Her eyes widening and her mouth opening, gasping for breath. ?Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh....?
Then I could not hold any longer. My head and body exploded completely, my muscles became strong and my body was a force of armour. Over and over I pumped into her, over and over she received it and moaned in delight. She was gleaming now, and so was I. I was in pure ecstasy, and so was she.
She drained me of all I had to give, and kissed me and told me how she loved me and how she had waited for me. A few moments passed in a pure veil of silence.
We made love all night, and as the sun began to rise, I slipped away home...and no one ever knew, until now.

I've had this phone for 2 years now, AND I LOVE IT! All these problems other users have written I haven't experienced at all...... but you have to remember more people are going to take the time to go on here and write a bad review, than those who love the phone.
I am dreading to get a new phone, this phone is simple and does everything I need. Definitely not looking foward to getting an upgrade anytime soon, the new veriezon phone are cheap and all QWERTY and touchscreens.....not for me.
This phone is pretty indestructible too, I have dropped it MANY times, and I've had no problems except little scratches on the screen, but absolutely no cracks. I've had no service problems and no problems sending text messages.
This is the perfect phone for people that want a simple phone without all the noise of a smartphoneBuild quality 10/10Reception 9/10Call quality 9/10Internet 3/10Multimedia 4/10Camera 6/10UI speed 8/10Everyday usage 10/10Text input 8/10Display 10/10Battery 8/10Pros

I was in a hurry when I bought this phone, so I didn't take the time to read reviews like I wish I would have.
I get very bad service. My previous phone would work all over my house, especially in "my chair". Now I have to go outside to use the phone, and still get broken up reception out there. Most of the time, I can hear who I'm talking to, but they cannot hear me. I have heard the caller on the other end say, "Your phone sucks!" numerous times. This phone has dropped many many calls. I think the lack of available service/reception is my biggest complaint, however not my only one.
The phone battery sucks and never lasts me more than one day. I find myself charging it at least twice a day, and it shuts down due to the dead battery, faster than I can keep up with it.
The phone gets very hot. It gets hot fast, and almost every time I use it - no matter how short my call is. If I'm on a call for more than 15 minutes it starts to burn my face and hand.
It takes forever to send a text, sometimes. Not always, but frequently it will take numerous minutes to send the text. Today, the screen said "sending' for so long that I recieved a call during this, which I thought was weird cause I didn't know that was possible. After the...Design 4/10Features 1/10Performance 1/10Pros
- Decent camera, but you cannot save rotated pictures. "Pretty-ish" Could be acceptable for someone who has never had a phone to know that there are a lot of better ones out there.
- I gave it a rating of 4 for design because it "butt-dials" everytime it's in my pocket; and you cannot access the screen if the phone is closed.
- I gave a 1-worst for features, because there are very few and inconvenient to get to.
- I have a 1-worst for performance because my service/reception/number of bars are so bad that I was convinced that Verizon had sold the tower in my town.

It was a great cell phone for a first phone loved the look and size. Bout three months after purchase screen started to blur out on me every time i turned it off. I would then have to turn it on and off repeatedly till it went back to normal. And this happened for no reason I've tooken real good care of my phone so it could last. Now my screens goes blurry every time the backlight turns black. And now i turn it on an it keeps showing the loading bar at the beggining, it will fill up the bar then start again, and again, and again.... So frustrating!!!!!!!!

This phone was fun to look at in the store, much like a used car. When you get it home, its a different story. You start finding all the things you don't like about it, and notice all the problems (again... much like a used car), the main one being the screen! Its so frustrating when you cant see if you have a missed call or text. Then once in a while a notice will pop up on the screen telling me to "insert the correct battery size" when it has the battery that came with it in the phone! GRR... Samsung will never have my business again!

This is a simple phone, yet it has so many problems. I have already exchanged it for a new one and I'm just too lazy to exchange it again because I have already found problems with it. I'm just hoping I can last another couple of months until my two year contract ends and buy a new one.The only thing I like about this phone is that it's really sleek. I like being able to put it in my pocket and it's just simple - no crazy features or anything. I just wanted something that could text and make phone calls.Unfortunately, like the majority of the people, my phone started blanking out with a white screen. I found a way to temporarily fix it, which is by clicking the camera button. however, it was still really annoying because I couldn't see who was calling me or texting me or whatnot. Moreover, it lags like crazy while texting.Now, for the second phone, it was better, but now whenever i charge it, it turns off and keeps turning on and over and over again. So it's beeping practically every 10 minutes. I don't know what's wrong with it, but don't bother with this piece of crap (excuse my language). Oh yeah, and I had to replace the battery within a month because it kept dying. Worst phone ever.

this is probably the worst phone i have ever used. it being my first phone and all i was go crazy on it... until i started getting problems. i have had those lines all over the screen but that just isn't all.one major thing is the calls. i have been on a pretty important call and then the other person can hear me but i just cant hear them. that is happening more tend more often as i am making calls more often.also another thing is that when i am testing the phone will just not send the text. it will say sending, sending sending for like 20 mains and then the phone just turns off! what the !@#! the phone is pretty cool in design but i think that is about the only good thing about it.

I have the same problems as everyone else does with my phone, ive found that there is a way to get rid of those pixels for a short time on your phone without turning it on and off, you can slide it shut and wait for the screen to go black and then slide it back open, most of the time it will work on the first try but sometimes it can take up to three, if you slide it open and closed over three times you will just end up having to shut it off and turn it back on again.

posted on 18 Aug 2009, 22:08What's up with the screen???
I've had this phone for a few months and liked the sleek look in the beginning. I soon found out when i slide the phone open it would slip out of my hands. The lag while texting is a nuisance. Battery life is poor. My bluetooth froze it. Worst of all, the screen now has many pixel lines and gradually turns blanks out white. I've been missing all my calls and texts recently because I can't see the screen. Pushing all the buttons or taking out the battery doesn't fix it. I have to turn the phone off and back on, only to have the screen functional for a few minutes so I use it. Overall I wouldn't recomend this phone and wish I hadn't gotten rid of my razor.

posted on 18 Aug 2009, 19:34Battery Life Makes it a poor choice
My recommendation is not to buy the Sway Phone due to its very real and widely reported battery problem. The Sway usually won't last the day, even with little or no use, such as a few two-minute calls and no texting. It was a little better when new (four months ago) but not much better. So far the Verizon store has been adamant about not replacing the phone under the one-year warranty. Its been a very aggravating experience dealing with them even though the phone clearly does not come close to its performance specifications for use time and standby time. The problem is that their in-store test has to show that the phone is bad. It passes the in-store test. They have no long term "real-use" test that would surface the problem we are experiencing. They have to follow their processes. At some point however, the manager is authorized to use his/her discretion and replace the phone to keep the customer happy. This hasn't happened. I'm not sure it will happen. We continue to test. Note that the only problem talked about here is the battery problem. If the battery is OK, the phone will connect. Even though this is an attractive phone and has some good features, if it won't turn on and have reliable standby and talk time, the phone is worthless for our needs. My best advice is to avoid these problems from the start if you depend on a phone that needs to be usable for...

I got the Sway in May 2009 and have had nothing but problems with it. I have had the fuzzy screen issue three times (which resulted in 3 replacements) and I also have the issue of not recieving calls and the call not showing up in the missed calls either. When I spoke with Tech support, they insist the problem is fixed when they cant duplicate the problem, yet to date, I have missed 3 very crucial phone calls. I do not recommend this phone at all.

When the screen goes all fuzzy, i repeatedly turn the camera on and off after a while the screen will start to flicker the camera loading screen then the screen goes back to normal.

I have had my phone 3 or 4 months. I liked it at first but now the battery has worn out to the point of it not lasting even one day. I have to charge it in the afternoon if I want to use it in the evening. When the phone does run out of battery it turns off and when you try to charge it and turn it back on it goes into the plaid pixelization pattern everyone talks about. Then I have to wait at least half a day to get it working again. Sometimes more and I am sure it will just completely stop one of these times. Ugh. Do not get this phone.

While the phone is generally pleasing aesthetically, the pleasure ends there. The interface is no improvement over my last phone (a motorola razr) and the battery is even worse. The T9 for texting has no means of selecting alternate words, and often misses basics of everyday english. Call quality seems to be at an all time low, with an abundance of dropped calls and a distorted earpiece.

I bought it because it was thin and looked nice, but after a few months the screen messes up and all you see are lines. Both times that I've gone to Verizon they had no idea what was wrong and just replaced it with a new Sway. Battery life is horrid.

gluten free coconut flour vanilla cupcakes
See that?
Light, fluffy, airy, moist (but not TOO moist), gluten free cupcakes!! AND... wait for it...
They are low glycemic, lower carb, and made with coconut flour, coconut oil, real vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, some baking soda, and agave nectar. (I know there's a big debate on whether or not agave's good stuff or bad stuff... you don't have to fight it out here) Soooo...since they are full of fiber, healthy fats, and yummy ol' protein-filled eggs, I'm declaring them kind of good for you! ;-)
But it's not my recipe. It's Elana's. She is a coconut flour and almond flour genius. Seriously. genius.
The cupcakes I made are the yellow cupcakes from Elana's newest cookbook: gluten free cupcakes cookbook! Elana also shares basically the same recipe (minus the strawberries) with this post.
I also slathered them with Elana's vegan chocolate 'buttercream" frosting (also in that lovely little book). Drool.
I suggest making them. soon. It's a really good thing these are being eaten at a work shower today... because really I just want to eat all of them!
The only change I made to Elana's recipe is I used melted coconut oil instead of the grapeseed oil called for. And that was only because it's what I had on hand.
So try them out. Let me know what you think... and let's chat about it here on the blog! And go give Elana some comment love!
12 comments:
SewCreativeSTL -- you can see the recipe in the amazon preview of the book, you have to click where it says, "Look inside" it's part of the preview from amazon and yes, while it wasn't intentional, it's sort of an advertisement for her book... but I love the book so I think it's worth sharing about!
ReplyDeleteI love that picture, Carrie. I read a bit on another site from people who had not had good luck with coconut flour recipes. What cam out of that was that they weren't really following the recipes. Baking in general, but coconut flour in particular, is much like a science experiment. It needs to be precise, at least at first.
And Cate, the Granny Smith crisp was the very last thing I put in my mouth before I started the Whole30. It is great, not very sweet, but I like that a lot.- AnonymousOctober 14, 2011 at 10:05 AM
I totally LOVE Elana's books. Every cupcake I've made has turned out really well and people who aren't gf can't tell. I had one person ask me to make him 3 dozen cupcakes using the chocolate cake recipe in her first book. Love that they are high protein and low carb but mostly really love that they are good!

OpenStreetMap today announced that the number of registered users had reached 100,000. It has taken a little over 18 months since the 10,000th registered user and under 5 years since the first. The map has been growing fast with high quality levels in areas where multiple mappers have been working and for a growing number of places the OpenStreetMap provides better mapping data than from commercial providers. Flickr now uses OpenStreetMap mapping for Bejing, Kabul, Baghdad and Tokyo.
Analysing the data with OSM Mapper (developed by ITO World with funding from Ideas in Transit) one finds that there is a very steep curve of contribution with over half the 1 million linear and area features having been last edited by the top 41 contributors and half the remaining 3259 contributors making less than 10 edits. The image below shows the pattern of contribution by the top 14 UK contributors.
In addition to individual imports their are also many significant bulk imports including a project to import the UK NaPTAN dataset giving details of over 360,000 UK bus stops and other public transport access points with permission from the Department for Transport and from Traveline.
OpenStreeMap has enabled many other significant initiatives, including cycle maps, routing for pedestrians, cyclists as well as for drivers and traffic modeling. Some of these projects are detailed in the OpenStreetMap category of the Ideas in Transit wiki.
