I love knowing what Alive Mind's Elizabeth said -- that if we buy the
home use version from them, their producers receive a bigger chunk of
the price than if we buy the home use version from Amazon or
elsewhere. It's nice to know Alive Mind is *open* to home use sales
by institutions.
OTOH, the truth is that I don't know how many distributors do look at
it the way Elizabeth does. I've received a couple of phone calls in
the past from distributors who saw that I'd placed an order for a
home use DVD from their website and had noticed that I either had an
.edu extention on my email address and had a college shipping address
provided. At least one of these individuals was *very* persistent in
arguing with me that I was being... well, I can't recall the exact
term, but it was unfair or unethical or unsupportive or some other
"un" term which implied I wasn't being a good girl.
The truth is, I do NOT skirt the law if I know we need PPR for a
title. But *if* a title has been released for sale in home use by
vendors like Amazon, Midwest Tape or DVD Planet, why would I *not*
buy from them if I don't need PPR? Especially if I suspect that by
trying to buy home use from the distributor who sells it at the
higher "institutional"/PPR price, I'm going to be given grief?
Now a question for Gary. In the delineation below, did you mean for
#3 to be "Institutional buyers (does not include performance
rights)"? Otherwise, I'm reading #2 and #3 as pretty much the same
thing. I could see three categories of: 1) home use (no PPR); 2)
institutional use (no PPR); and 3) institutional use with PPR. As
you say, this would acknowledge the potentially larger usage and
audience that goes with library ownership, without forcing us to pay
for rights we might not need.
Elizabeth, I would ask you one question as well, re: your definition
of PPR. You've given an under 50/no admission vs. over 50/admission
fee distinction. What if the showing is to be more than 50 but no
admission will be charged?

STEVENSON, Md., March 7, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on behalf of purchasers of Merge Healthcare, Incorporated, ("Merge Healthcare" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:MRGE) common stock during the period between August 1, 2012 and January 17, 2014, inclusive (the "Class Period").
If you are a shareholder who purchased Merge Healthcare common stock during the Class Period, you may obtain additional information about this lawsuit and your ability to become a lead plaintiff, at no cost to you, by contacting Brower Piven at www.browerpiven.com, by email at email@example.com, by calling 410/415-6616, or at Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, 1925 Old Valley Road, Stevenson, Maryland 21153. Attorneys at Brower Piven have combined experience litigating securities and class action cases of over 60 years.
No class has yet been certified in the above action. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff no later than March 17, 2014 and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement and how much of a settlement to accept for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Company units during the Class Period.
The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants' failure to disclose during the Class Period that both the existence and value of millions of dollars of the Company's eClinical customer contracts had been falsified, and as a result the Company's reported subscription backlog was overstated during the six quarters ended September 30, 2013, and that the Company was experiencing a continued reluctance amongst large health systems to move forward with enterprise imaging purchases.
According to the complaint, following the Company's disclosures in May 2013 regarding the sudden resignation of the Company's General Counsel and later its Chairman and CEO, and the release of "very disappointing" second quarter 2013 earnings results and a January 8, 2014 announcement that the existence and/or value of millions of dollars of customer contracts had been falsified for six quarters ending September 30, 2013, ending September 30, 2013, in what it characterized as a rogue employee's attempt to reach sales quotas and garner additional commissions, the value of Merge Healthcare shares declined significantly.
If you choose to retain counsel, you may retain Brower Piven without financial obligation or cost to you, or you may retain other counsel of your choice. You need take no action at this time to be a member of the class.

Hey there,
I was wondering, do you still have any "Vulva" left?
I am writing a dissertation on the feminine imaginary of smells and I mentioned vulva in it. I'd love to attach some sprayed cloth as a sample with each cop of the text, but the nice people at Vulva didn't think me worthy of a sample. Could I possibly buy a tiny bit off you? The perfume itself is not too pricey but I really cannot afford to buy every perfume I mention. I'd appreciate any other ideas you might have! Thanks!
OV is weird. I love it but it never lasts no matter where I put it. I guess it has no dry down. Or maybe it's just me. But thanks. I've learned to blame my nose when I can't smell anything nowaday, it's usually just me.
I noticed that you said you sprayed Creed OV on your shirt and it didnt last. Just making sure you know to spray on your wrist and neck for maximum longetivity.

Choose Your Superhero Adventure! KAPOWWW!
A new interactive comic book engine that allows the player to become the superhero and choose their own path via a stylised comic-like interface has been developed by Tin Man Games. The company, best known for its Gamebook Adventures and Fighting Fantasy adaptations, will soon be releasing Steve Jackson's classic gamebook, Appointment with F.E.A.R., in a new and exciting digital comic book format.
Neil Rennison, Creative Director for Tin Man Games, said: "This is our first foray into a new area for interactive fiction and gamebooks. Appointment with F.E.A.R. cried out to be presented in a new and stylised way and as the new engine started coming together visually, we knew we were on to something pretty special. We're looking forward to getting our teeth into some other comic book licenses in the future too!"
Designing their own super-powered defender of justice in Titan City, the reader makes choices that guide them towards new villains, super dilemmas and, ultimately, the Titanium Cyborg and the F.E.A.R. meeting. Unlike the nearly thirty year old gamebook, players can now customise their character choosing superpower, gender, looks, costume design and, most importantly, their supername!
The interactive graphic novel also allows the player to randomly collect trading cards, which will be swappable with other players via Facebook. By making clever decisions during the adventure, the reader also increases the possibility of getting rare cards. "We're very excited by this feature because as well as the large number of paths driven by the character in this game, collecting the trading cards will add an extra dynamic as players try and collect them all." Neil continued.
Appointment with F.E.A.R. follows the life of the superhero across a handful of days as they deal with their everyday normal life, whilst saving the citizens of Titan City from over thirty supervillains using narrative based combat, which unfolds as the combatants trade quips. The aim is to collect vital clues and information that lead to the arrest of these villains, helping them gain hero points and discovering the location of the F.E.A.R. meeting.
Appointment with F.E.A.R. will be released at the end of August on the iOS App Store, Google Play and the Amazon Appstore. A desktop edition for PC, Mac and Linux will also be released via the Humble Store, which also comes with an Android version.
The Gamebook Adventures website can be accessed at www.GamebookAdventures.com and Tin Man Games also runs a developer blog at www.TinManGames.com.au.

Back in April of 2007, Kevin conducted a massive blind tequila tasting. In honor of Cinco de Mayo, I'm reposting his grand experiment. I'd love to have him do this again sometime, now that his tequila palate has developed more.
– Michelle
With the increase in advertising, even my Tivo-filtered brain has seen a few TV ads. So I decided to see if there was good reason for the additional cost with the premium level of Tequilas. With the help of Michelle, I went for a blind tasting of 5 premium Silver tequilas with 1 well-level tossed in to see if it would be noticeable.
Silver is the entry level in Premium tequilas. Silver usually has a slightly more alcohol taste and a lot of roughness around the edges. The trade-off is the increased level of fruit in the flavor. The second level is gold, and the top tier is Reposado. The flavor is smoother, but the fruit becomes lighter and more integrated into the overall flavor.
Here is what I tried, in order of preference after the blind tasting:
The first tequila I tasted turned out to be the 1800. The alcohol came through on the nose along with a nice sweet characteristic. There was a very nice pineapple flavor that was evident on the taste. The finish had a slight burn, but was still a nicely flavored and relaxed drink.
(1800 Tequila)
My rating:
The second one on the table was a much different drink. This turned out to be the Milagro, which had a very sugary smell almost to the level of marshmallows. The flavor had less of the fruit I expected, continuing to enhance the sugary sweetness instead. The finish had no burn, but it didn't seem quite what I was expecting. I suspect Michelle might like this one for its sweetness. (Milagro Tequila)
My rating:
Up next was a very fruity and dry smelling entry. It was a return to what I like about Tequilas, the tropical fruits and dry flavor were evident in this offering from Corazón. This return to a traditional flavor was a nice switch from the last. (Tequila Corazón)
My rating:
The next tequila was an undrinkable mess. The odor was reminiscent of spoiled wet straw. Sadly, this was the Montezuma and I could not progress past the nose for this one. It proved that the extra money is worth the cost from a low end to a higher end. (Barton Brands)
My rating: (yes, it smelled that bad)
Up next was the gem of the tasting. It has a deservedly high reputation and this Patrón did not disappoint. In the interest of full disclosure, the first premium tequila I ever has was Patrón. I still find it quite enjoyable. It had a very light and crisp smell with a great full flavored taste. (Patrón Spirits Company)
My rating:
Finally, the Don Julio – this had a more upfront nose and a heavier flavor. The tequila had a woodsy characteristic I did not find enjoyable. It helped me realize that I like the pineapple and guava flavors evident in other selections. I didn't enjoy this as much as I had hoped or expected. (Don Julio from Diageo)

Energy Costs Will Necessarily Skyrocket
[Guest post by JD]
It is the stated goal of the Left. Dems tend to not state this clearly, and allow the MFM to provide cover for them. But, Barack Obama quite explicitly stated that energy costs would necessarily skyrocket under his energy plans, and here Chris Hayes and his nodding panel make the case for doing so quite clearly.
They want to charge for carbon to drive up costs of fossil fuels to in excess of $8 per gallon so then, and only then, algae and wind and other not-efficient renewables have a chance to be competitive.

Missouri junior point guard Paul Pressey to enter NBA draft
ST. LOUIS – Missouri point guard Phil Pressey, coming off a productive but erratic junior season, will enter the NBA draft.
Pressey is the Tigers' career leader with 580 assists and broke his own single-season mark with 240 assists last season. He tied the school record with 196 steals. He had career highs with an 11.9-point average and seven assists per game, tying an SEC record with 19 assists in an overtime loss at UCLA. He was also was hampered by questionable decision-making in several close losses.
The 5-foot-11 Pressey was a first-team all-SEC pick after being named the conference's preseason player of the year. He's the son of former NBA player Paul Pressey and was recruited to Missouri by former coach Mike Anderson, who was the elder Pressey's former college roommate.

If your loved one has Alzheimer's, he or she may not be safe on the road. Explain the risks — then provide other ways to get around.
Driving is a routine part of adult life for many people. It's also a symbol of independence. While the focused concentration and quick reaction time needed for safe driving tends to decline with age, Alzheimer's disease accelerates this process dramatically.
If you're caring for a person living with Alzheimer's disease, you'll need to address the issue of his or her driving and ease the transition to different ways of getting around.
At some point, a person living with Alzheimer's disease will no longer be able to drive. Talk about this eventuality with your loved one early and plan his or her retirement from driving.
This might be a difficult conversation — possibly the first of many. Losing the independence driving provides can be upsetting. Keep in mind your loved one's feelings. Show support and empathy. If you encounter resistance, explain that it is a safety issue and appeal to the person's sense of responsibility. Talk about the alternatives to driving. You might also ask the person's doctor, a respected authority figure or your attorney to help you reinforce your point.
If possible, have the person living with Alzheimer's disease sign a driving contract while still in the early stages of dementia. The contract will give you permission to help him or her stop driving when necessary.
The sooner you address the issue of driving with your loved one, the better. Research suggests that people living with Alzheimer's disease tend to overestimate their driving abilities, despite the fact that even those with mild dementia are at higher risk for unsafe driving. Caregivers, however, can more accurately identify unsafe driving in people living with Alzheimer's.
Watch for signs of unsafe driving, including:
To be proactive, have the person living with Alzheimer's disease evaluated by an occupational therapy rehabilitation specialist. The American Occupational Therapy Association has a national database of driving specialists. A specialist can evaluate the impact of the disease on a person's ability to drive and offer strategies for driving safely, as well as when and how to reduce or stop driving.
When your loved one stops driving, arrange for alternative transportation. Have family and friends run errands with your loved one, or arrange transportation through a senior van route. Establish an account with a taxi or car service so that your loved one can go places, but won't have to handle money.
Consider ways to limit your loved one's need to drive. Many items — such as groceries, meals and prescriptions — can be delivered to your loved one's home.
Also, distract the person living with Alzheimer's disease from driving opportunities. If possible, have someone sit in the backseat with your loved one to distract him or her.
If the person living with Alzheimer's disease insists on driving, consider these last-resort preventive strategies:
Whether your loved one stops driving all at once or in stages, he or she will probably grieve the loss of independence. Be patient, but firm. The consequences of unsafe driving can be devastating.

Love sew ins? Need Sew Ins Detroit MI? Plaits have been around for everlastingly and will never leave style. Plaits offer assortment and independence to every magnificence who gets them. Be that as it may, there are a couple of things you ought to consider in case you're contemplating getting plaits introduced in your hair. Look at this short rundown delineating the advantages of wearing meshes, and in addition the cons:
Interlaces can keep going quite a while! Normally up to maybe a couple months. I'm an immense enthusiast of long haul styles that can stay looking decent and offer you a reprieve from styling your own particular hair. You even have the decision to get the meshes around the edges revamped to keep your style looking new. Simply make sure not to pull too tight.
Interlaces are an incredible defensive style. At the point when your hair is in meshes your hair and closures are concealed and escaped the world's components which at last outcomes in better length maintenance. On the off chance that you wish to help keep your finishes solid and develop longer hair, meshes are an incredible approach to do only that. Simply make certain not to keep them in more than 2 months.
Bring down support. Having meshes introduced certainly brings down the measure of upkeep required for your hair however does not totally dispense with it – regardless you have to keep up your style to keep it looking decent and bear in mind about your scalp or your common hair underneath the plaits. You ought to keep spiriting a cream (or simply water) and seal with a characteristic oil.
Such a variety of twist styling choices! There are interminable mesh styles, for example, box plaits, Ghana interlaces, gigantic twists, Senegalese turns and the rundown continues forever. This gives you the opportunity of being as inventive as you prefer!
Can bring about hair breakage and breakage around the edges. On the off chance that the interlaces are introduced too tight or if your hair is as of now debilitated this will expand the possibility of your plaits severing your hair and additionally your edges. This likewise relies on upon the extent of the plait. Meshes that are too expansive and substantial or tiny twists, for example, miniaturized scale twists, are well on the way to make breakage your genuine hair.
Plaits can be expensive relying upon where you go. Likewise length and size can influence the cost of the plait introduce. Normally the littler or longer the twists the higher the cost.
Plait establishment (and evacuation) can take quite a while. Contingent upon the length and size of the plaits, it can take 6-8 hours or more. Ensure you have a lot of time and persistence – don't take it out on your hair and nullify all that work you've done!
Twists are a delightful hairdo that can suit any individual and individual style. Whatever mesh style you shake, shake it well and let the world see your lovely plaits.

I would like respond to Sunday�s Times News story, �We checked it out: Are pre-Kindergarten students treated the same?� Pre-Kindergarten programs at Eastlawn and South Graham elementary schools were compared. Unfortunately, some important facts were not included.
Pre-K programs located in public schools have not always been required to go through state licensure under the North Carolina Division of Child Development and Early Education. This stipulation has only been in effect since 2011 as per state legislation. Because Alamance-Burlington School System supports quality early childhood education, its public pre-K classrooms have all been licensed for many years prior. Early childhood education facilities in North Carolina are rated on a star system, with one being lowest and five being highest. Both Eastlawn and South Graham are rated five-star facilities � each receiving 15 out of 15 possible points. Both are NC Pre-K sites and fall under strict legislative guidelines and are monitored on a routine basis. With the exception of Garrett � which is under a temporary license due to its recent opening, and Alexander Wilson, which is a four-star center, all public pre-K programs in Alamance County are rated five-star. ABSS has been dedicated to providing high quality environments along with well qualified teachers to its pre-K students. Given these facts, it is difficult to imagine the children at Eastlawn are not receiving a high quality pre-K experience.
The point of homework was brought up by Michael Graves who is president of Concerned Citizens of Alamance County. I would like to say emphatically that homework has never been an indicator of a high-quality pre-K program. Early childhood experts agree that homework for 4-year-olds is simply not age appropriate. Parenting expert Alfie Kohn, the author of �The Homework Myth: Why Our Kids Get Too Much of a Bad Thing,� states, �No research has ever found any benefit. It�s all pain and no gain.� I am very curious as to what sort of homework Mr. Graves was referring to. If he means having children and parents share some short reading time together, that would definitely be developmentally appropriate best practice.
As to whether or not children at Eastlawn are being provided books, Mr. Graves was concerned that a take-home reading program was started four weeks late at Eastlawn and those children were going to be at a disadvantage. I can assure Mr. Graves that those children receive books through the Alamance Partnership for Children. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library program is made available to all children living in the Eastlawn school district, as well as to children in six other elementary school districts. DPIL sends children a book a month in the mail at no cost from birth to age five. All families with pre-K children at Eastlawn have been provided this opportunity. The seven school districts covered by the DPIL program were selected on the basis of low reading and English proficiency scores.
Efforts are being made on a consistent basis to even the playing field for all children in our community. Principal Daniel McInnis and his staff at Eastlawn have collaborated with the Partnership for Children to embed Parents as Teachers, a home visiting program, and Incredible Years, a program for parents experiencing challenging behaviors at the Eastlawn campus. Both programs are nationally recognized and considered evidenced based. These efforts have occurred because Mr. Innis is extremely dedicated to the children under his care. He was under no requirement to add these services and has gone out of his way to make them successful.
It would be wonderful to say our public schools and early childhood education programs have all the funds and resources needed to fully serve and prepare our children. Sadly, we know this is not the case. Therefore, it is our responsibility as truly concerned citizens to support our children and schools through partnerships and effective collaboration.
Carrie Theall is executive director of the Alamance Partnership for Children.

AC: As you likely know, the Astros took three of four from the Phillies (!) over the weekend. Let's let that sink in for a second... Okay, does that change your outlook on this series?

The beginning of the end with the Cardinals
AC: As you likely know, the Astros took three of four from the Phillies (!) over the weekend. Let's let that sink in for a second... Okay, does that change your outlook on this series?

Freaking YES!!! Nailed it!
"AC: As a team lucky enough to stay in the National League, what are your thoughts on what happened to the Astros, in regards to the move to the AL?
C70: I think it was an incredibly stupid thing to have even considered, much less gone through with. The idea of interleague play, which was never one of my favorite ideas, going on every single day is a terrible one in my book. Plus the whole idea of a deal being held up so that a perfectly legitimate owner could be blackmailed into moving a team with 50 years of history? Move the Brewers back if you have to move someone--they've played both sides of the fence. It was a shameful episode in a history of baseball rife with shameful episodes. "

Thank you C70 for taking the time to do the Q&A but especially for your answer to that last question.
Most fans from other teams seem to really enjoy twisting the knife on this topic by marginalizing the damage/insult to the Astros or even outright supporting the horrible lie that the Astros were the best team to move. It does my heart good to know that there are reasonable people out there who see that disgraceful episode for what it was. And it does my heart even more good to know that some fans of our real rival clubs in the national league offer that bit of respect & might even be sad to see us go.

I read one of his books years ago and it was fantastic.

This article discusses the harmful effects that can occur from swallowing jewelry cleaner or breathing in its fumes.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Poisonous Ingredient
- Ammonia
- Corrosive alkali
- Detergent
- Soap
Where Found
Jewelry cleaners and polishes are sold under various brand names. Some include:
- Goddards Jewelry Cleaner
- Goddards Silver Dip
- Hagerty Jewelry Cleaner
- Weiman Silver Polish
- Wright Silver Cream
Note: This list may not be all-inclusive.
- Airways and lungs
- Breathing difficulty (from breathing in chemicals)
- Throat swelling (may also cause breathing difficulty)
- Eyes, ears, nose, and throat
- Severe pain in the throat
- Severe pain or burning in the nose, eyes, ears, lips, or tongue
- Vision loss
- Gastrointestinal tract
- Abdominal pain - severe
- Bloody stools
- Burns and possible holes of the esophagus (food pipe)
- Vomiting, possibly with blood
- Heart and blood
- Collapse
- Low blood pressure -- develops rapidly
- Severe change in blood acid level -- leads to organ damage
- Skin
- Burns
- Holes in the skin or underlying tissues
- Irritation
Home Treatment
Seek immediate medical help. Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional.
If the chemical is on the skin or in the eyes, flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes.
If the chemical was swallowed, immediately give the person water or milk, unless instructed otherwise by a health care provider.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- The patients age, weight, and condition
- The name of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known)
- The time it was swallowed
- The amount swallowed
Poison Control, or a local emergency number
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.
What to expect at the emergency room
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patients vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
- Breathing tube
- Bronchoscopy -- camera down the throat to see burns in the airways and lungs
- Endoscopy -- camera down the throat to see burns in the esophagus and the stomach
- Fluids through a vein (IV)
- Medicines to treat pain
- Oxygen
- Surgical removal of burned skin (skin debridement)
- Washing of the skin (irrigation) -- perhaps every few hours for several days
Expectations (prognosis)
How well a patient does depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment was received. The faster a patient gets medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
Jewelry cleaner can cause severe burns to the inside of the gastrointestinal tract. Extensive damage to the mouth, throat, eyes, lungs, esophagus, nose, and stomach are possible. The ultimate outcome depends on the extent of this damage. Damage continues to occur to the esophagus and stomach for several weeks after the poison was swallowed, and death may occur as long as a month later.
