Connie Shultz: Reproductive Health Is Not A "Social Issue"
Connie Shultz: Reproductive Health Is Not A "Social Issue"
"When has a medical procedure exclusive to men ever been held to a vote on a floor of the United States Congress?" asks Connie Shulz. "Oh, wait, just remembered: Never."
Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist and Pulitzer Prize winning author Connie Shulz takes on the language issue in the debate around reproductive health in her column this past weekend.
"Language matters, so let's be clear: Women's reproductive health is not a 'social issue,' writes Shulz.
Deciding whether to carry the red purse or the black bag to dinner
Saturday night? That's a social issue. Wondering why your child wasn't
invited to her classmate's birthday party? That, too, is a social
But, "attempting to limit women's access to legal and safe abortions? Not
even remotely a social issue. So let's stop calling it that as we
debate the Stupak-Pitts amendment, which is the latest effort in
Congress to prohibit insurance coverage for abortion," she says.
Get the facts, direct to your inbox.

The sooner we
reject this dismissive casting of a woman's essential right, the sooner
elected officials will understand it's not theirs for the tinkering.
She goes on to question the tax-exempt status of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops which continues to work to influence law and policy around women's health and rights from the perspective of ultra-conservative Catholic ideology, rather than public health.
"Politicians fond of limiting women's reproductive rights often say
they personally oppose abortion," writes Shulz. "They cite their religion, as if this
carves out an exception in that whole separation-of-church-and-state
thing so they can use their faith to restrict the rights of every woman
in America."
In an interview with The Associated Press, Rep. Bart Stupak, a
Michigan Democrat, made it clear that the U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishops played a leading role in getting his amendment into the House
"The Catholic Church used their power — their clout, if you will —
to influence this issue. They had to. It's a basic teaching of the
religion," Stupak said.
"My concern," writes Shulz, "echoes that of Rep. Lynne Woolsey, a California Democrat,
who wrote on Politico.com: "The IRS is less restrictive about church
involvement in efforts to influence legislation than it is about
involvement in campaigns and elections," she wrote. "Given the
political behavior of USCCB in this case, maybe it shouldn't be.""
The IRS' Tax Guide for Churches and Religious Organizations clearly states that tax-exempt organizations may not lobby.
The guide reads: "In general, no organization, including a church,
may qualify for . . . [tax-exempt] status if a substantial part of its
activities is attempting to influence legislation (commonly known as
lobbying). An organization may engage in some lobbying, but too much
lobbying activity risks loss of tax-exempt status."
If pressuring members of Congress and issuing public statements
boasting about it don't qualify as "too much lobbying," then this
columnist is merely dabbling in opinion writing and we should call it a
And why, she asks, do elected officials "need to feel personally
comfortable with what a woman chooses to do with her body before they
allow her to do it."
When has a medical procedure exclusive to men
ever been held to a vote on a floor of the United States Congress?
Oh, wait, just remembered:
Even Some self-proclaimed progressives are reprimanding pro-choice women for insisting that the Stupak amendment must go.
They accuse us of digging in on "our issue" — interesting how some
insist they are pro-choice until it must actually mean something — at
the risk of derailing health care reform for millions of Americans.
We did not initiate the Stupak stunt. And when it comes to health
care, it has always been women who bear the load. We are the primary
caregivers for our children and our aging parents; we are most of the
nation's nurses, medical assistants and home health care workers; and
we have raised billions of dollars for breast cancer research alone.
And yet, here we are, immersed in yet another congressional debate
over whether we should have affordable coverage for a medical condition
that only women face.
Don't tell us women don't care about health care.

A duct leakage tester is a diagnostic tool designed to measure the air tightness of forced air heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) ductwork. A duct leakage tester consists of a calibrated fan for measuring an air flow rate and a pressure sensing device to measure the pressure created by the fan flow.
The California Energy Commission is required by Public Resources Code Section 25942 to establish regulations for a statewide HERS Program to certify home energy rating services in California. The goal of the program is to provide reliable information to differentiate the energy efficiency levels among California homes and to guide investment in cost-effective home energy efficiency measures. Phase I of the California HERS regulations, which became effective on June 17, 1999, established field verifications and diagnostic testing services administered by Energy Commission-approved Providers. The Energy Commission has a process for certifying HERS Raters who perform third-party inspections when verification of duct sealing, thermostatic expansion valves (TXVs), refrigerant charge, airflow measurement, and building envelope sealing measures are used to comply with Title 24, Part 6, of the Building Energy Efficiency Standards.
The adopted amendments included the requirements for California Whole-House Home Energy Ratings ("Phase II") of the HERS regulations to expand the program to provide energy efficiency ratings for existing and newly constructed residential buildings that include single-family homes and multi-family buildings of three stories or less. The new HERS regulations establish a systematic process for the delivery of whole-house home energy ratings that provide California homeowners and home buyers with information about the energy efficiency of the homes they live in or homes they are considering for purchase. The ratings also provide evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of options to achieve greater energy efficiency in those homes.
Energy Commission-Approved HERS Providers
Field Verification and Diagnostic Testing
The California Certified Energy Rating & Testing Services (CalCERTS) and the California Home Energy Efficiency Rating System (CHEERS) have been approved by the Energy Commission as HERS Providers to oversee HERS Raters providing 2008 Title 24, Part 6 Field Verification and Diagnostic Testing services.
California Living and Energy has an outstanding team of CalCERTS certified HERS II raters company available, for more information contact us at (209) 538-2879.
What is an Energy Star Home?
To earn the ENERGY STAR, a home must meet guidelines for energy efficiency set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These homes are at least 15% more energy efficient than homes built to the2004 IRC and include additional energy-saving features that typically make them 20–30% more efficient than standard homes.
And with homebuyers increasingly interested in green building, energy efficiency is the place to start. That's because the energy used in homes often comes from the burning of fossil fuels at power plants, which contributes to smog, acid rain, and risks of global warming. So, the less energy used, the less air pollution generated. And the easy way to make sure a new home is energy efficient is to look for the blue ENERGY STAR mark, the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency. Learn more about how building Green starts with Energy Star blue.
Compared with standard homes, ENERGY STAR qualified homes use substantially less energy for heating, cooling, and water heating-delivering $200 to $400 in annual savings. Over the average 7 to 8 years you may live in your home, this adds up to thousands of dollars saved on utility bills. Additional savings on maintenance can also be substantial.
What are families saying about their ENERGY STAR homes?
More than 1 million ENERGY STAR qualified homes have been built in the United States. Last year, families living in these homes saved more than $270 million on their utility bills, while avoiding greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 370,000 vehicles. Hear their stories and learn about what makes living in an ENERGY STAR home so special.

in the interest disclosure it will simply say something about the average daily balance and that amount, once it is added in is part of your average daily balance.
And why are you worried about a credit score? Read the book. Keeping the account open and paying them $99 a year for something you will probably never need is ridiculous. You have 30 days to protest the fee and if they just started adding it then they can't keep charging you. Call them and close the sucker.

Making excellence a habit
The new revised version of ISO 9001:2015, the world's most popular standard for quality management has been published. This is the first major revision of the standard since 2000, and it's been written with today's business challenges in mind, and for organizations of any size in many different industries. The changes to the standard make it flexible enough to offer multiple benefits to organizations not only as a quality management tool but a significant framework for business improvement delivering efficiencies and improving customer satisfaction.
Business has changed radically since the last major revision in 2000; technology has changed how we work, geographical boundaries are almost insignificant in today's global economy, supply chains are increasingly complex and the information available has multiplied exponentially.
To ensure that ISO 9001 continues to serve the business community and maintain its relevance in today's market place, the standard is being revised to address the change in the business world.
One thing remains constant, to be successful, businesses have to adapt to meet the growing needs of customers. ISO was originally written with the customer in mind and that remains the priority for ISO 9001:2015.
Created to help you transition to the latest ISO management system standards including ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 9001:2015, BSI clients share their perspectives about some of the key areas in the new standards. These films are essential viewing to help make your transition smooth and successful and include;
Bringing Quality and Continuous Improvement into the heart of your business
The revised standard will ensure that quality management is now completely integrated and aligned with the business strategies of your organization
Greater involvement in the management system by the leadership team will ensure the whole organization will be motivated towards the organizations goals and objectives.
Introduction of Risk & Opportunity Management
Reinforces use of the management system as a governance tool and will help identify business opportunities that contribute to bottom line improvements.
An Integrated Approach
With the new structure applicable to all new ISO management systems standards it wll be much easier to implement multiple, integrated management systems.
The new standard expected in September 2015, will be based on Annex SL – the new high level structure (HLS) that brings a common framework to all management system standards. This helps to keep consistency, alignment different management system standards, offer matching sub-clauses against the top-level structure and apply common language across all standards.
The key changes in the proposed standard are:
With the new standard in place, organizations will find it easier to incorporate their quality management system into the core business processes and gain greater business benefit.
ISO 9001:2008 is still valid and companies will still benefit from implementing and certifying against it. Certification to ISO 9001: 2008 will be allowed for a period of time following the publication of the new version of the standard in 2015, which will be determined by the UK Accreditation Service (UKAS), expected to be a couple of years. Return to our ISO 9001 pages to see why it is so valuable and how we can help you to become certified.
Once the revised standard has been published in 2015, BSI will support you through the transition. A transition period will be set and we will provide you with guidelines and training to help you make this transition as smooth as possible.
In the meantime, since you are already familiar with ISO 9001, you are in the best position to comment on how it should be revised, so make sure to download the draft standard.

Seasoned baseball fans have probably seen some wacky things happen on the diamond. From deflected outs, to runners passing each other on the bases, the random feel to baseball is something that most fans treasure. Today's game had one of the weirdest final box scores I've ever seen. Oregon (5-1) beat LMU (3-3) on Saturday afternoon by a score of 6-1. But, the Ducks scored their six runs on just two hits.
LMU starter Trevor Megill (1-1) had a very strange second outing indeed. Megill allowed just one hit in his six innings pitched, but plunked a whopping six Oregon batters, forcing Megill to extend innings far past their intended length.
In the third inning, Megill seemed to be really hitting his stride as he quickly sent down the first two Oregon batters (7th and 8th hitters in the lineup) to greet him in the inning. But, Oregon's "back end" of the lineup only lasts through eight hitters as the ever efficient J.J. Altobelli came to the plate in the ninth spot.
Megill promptly hit Altobelli with a pitch, extending the inning, and bringing the top of the lineup up to bat. Leadoff man Aaron Payne waited Megill out and worked a two out walk. After two additional at bats in the inning, Megill hit both Scott Heineman and Brett Thomas to push home Oregon's first run of the game. Ryon Healy capped the rally off with a two run RBI single to give Oregon a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the third.
Oregon would add three more runs off of some more miscues by Megill. A wild pitch and a throwing error compounded the Oregon lead to 6-0.
After being dominated by Colin Welmon on opening night, the runs came in the most untraditional fashion possible on Saturday. I'm sure Coach Horton is wishing that those runs had come when they actually needed them, though.
Those regrets come courtesy of Tommy Thorpe (2-0), who was nearly untouchable in his second start of the season. Thorpe was mowing down LMU batters, allowing just four hits in a career high seven innings pitched. The Lions didn't even move a runner past second base while Thorpe was on the mound.
Last weekend, there seemed to be a clear order to the rotation; Jake Reed looked like the obvious ace in his first outing, while Tommy Thorpe looked solid, but not nearly as dominant as Reed did. Cole Irvin was very impressive in his debut appearance, but was a step behind the first two starters.
Now, it seems as if the rotation has flipped a bit. Hopefully Irvin (1-0, 3.86 ERA) will continue the trend on Sunday afternoon in the rubber match of the Ducks' first series at PK Park. Irvin will face another LMU righty in Aaron Griffin (1-0, 1.12 ERA). First pitch is scheduled for 12:00pm.
The pictures you see of the Ducks on FishDuck.com come from professional photographers that must be paid! Please donate through one click so we have pictures from all the games this fall to use through the year. All previous donations helped to pay our big Web Developing bills recently, and I do appreciate it.
Our staff and the photographers who have thousands of dollars invested into their equipment to provide the high quality pictures do sincerely thank you. Charles Fischer

Your job is hard. We can help.
Simplify data management for mistake-free IT.
Your company hums along, until it doesn't.
Perhaps business comes to a screeching halt because:
- A hardware failure renders files inaccessible
- A cyber-attack corrupts your data
- Someone makes a mistake (not you, of course)
- An extended power outage means you can't access customer databases
And, this is your opportunity to rise to the challenge.
With Arcserve UDP, you'll have the tools you need to successfully recover your data and get critical business systems up-and-running quickly.
We get it, Clark Kent—you're the invisible data hero. And, now is that defining moment when everybody finally remembers your name.
Work smarter, not harder.
Arcserve UDP is the complete and easy backup and recovery solution that's robust enough for the big guys, but simple enough for a single IT generalist to manage.
And, it all starts with successfully automating the complex, repetitive, and painful tasks that introduce risk and make your job unnecessarily demanding.
Simplify your job with:
- Easy to set-up backup plans—even to remote locations
- Automated failover for high availability
- Simple bare metal recovery
- Responsive solution support
Stress less. Arcserve UDP is here to help you avoid a high-visibility mistake. And it's available as software, appliance, and offers a Disaster Recovery as a Service option.
Dig our data
Save the day with dead-simple backup and recovery.
Let's face it, backups are a pain. Worse, as you bundle niche solutions, your data recovery plans become inherently more complex.
And, complexity means more risk—much more.
What's more, when you work for a resource-conscious organization, you may lack the policies, processes, and technologies to thoroughly test the recoverability of your data.
Arcserve UDP gives you that capability.
Easy backup and recovery you can rely on.
Supported by Assured Recovery features, you'll have confidence in your ability to successfully recover physical and virtual data when things do go wrong.
That's because Arcserve UDP allows you to:
- Conduct RPO and RTO testing without business system disruption
- Automate disaster recovery testing
And, when you automate DR testing, you save time and money:
- Giving you the flexibility to test more frequently
- Increasing the probability that you'll discover architecture changes that might threaten data recovery down the line
(A better night's sleep? You'll get that, too.)

Assessing data protection solutions is a lot like comparing apples to elephants.
And if you're a cost-conscious medium-sized business or a small one with big ideas, you'll need to determine which solution will protect all of your data and scale as your business grows—without expensive add-ons.
Beware the landmines.
Most data protection software solutions fall woefully short. They:
- Enable you to backup data from a single site, but don't always provide built-in replication to another disaster recovery site
- Protect physical systems well, but not virtual—or vice versa
- Don't allow you to backup data to the cloud
- Can only backup to disk or tape, but not both
- Don't offer you the choice of software, appliance, or cloud
Arcserve UDP frees you from complexity.
This single, unified solution makes it simple to manage data:
- On-site and off-site
- On disk, tape, and in the cloud
- In physical, virtual, and hybrid environments
- At remote offices
- With software or an all-in-one appliance
And, it offers great time-to-value.
To put it simply, Arcserve UDP is the best data protection solution in its class—and it comes in at a great value point.
The big benefits of Arcserve UDP?
Simple enough for the one-person IT department, yet comprehensive enough for enterprise, Arcserve UDP let's you:
- Manage all of your physical and virtual data under a single pane of glass
- Slash backup storage requirements by up to 97% with true global, source-side data deduplication
- Reduce backup times and bandwidth requirements
- Easily migrate servers and data from P2P, P2V, V2V, and V2P
- Scale your coverage with the push of a button
Money doesn't grow on trees, so a smart choice that controls IT costs now—and into the future—is critical.

The feds want to turn next month's hotly anticipated FDNY racial discrimination retrial into a star-studded media attraction, city lawyers argued in a scathing Brooklyn federal court filing.
Lawyers for the government submitted an eye-popping witness list for next month's legal brawl that included a slew of powerful pastors and polticians, including the Rev. Al Sharpton and embattled Rep. Charlie Rangel.
But city attorney Jessica Giambrone lobbied Judge Raymond Dearie to shear off unnecessary witnesses from the trial because they have little relevance to the issues at hand.
"These individuals do not seem able to offer relevant evidence and have been selected solely for the purposes of garnering media attention," she wrote in her filing.
The government's roster of potential witnesses also includes Rev. Johnny Youngblood, former Governor David Paterson, Rep. Gregory Meeks and Rep. Yvette Clarke, according to court papers.
"They are very likely being offered not for their substantive testimony but rather for purposes of dramatic impact," the filing continues. "In general, defendants submit that plaintiffs' proposed witnesses and exhibits are not appropriate, or relevant, to the issue to be tried."
The filing requests a hearing with all parties to "clarify the paramenters" of the trial.
Slated to kick off on March 31, Dearie will decide whether the FDNY purposefully discriminated against minority applicants after an appeals court tossed an earlier ruling by Judge Nicholas Garaufis that it had.
In his decision, Garaufis squarely attacked former Mayor Michael Bloomberg for failing to end discriminatory hiring practices in the FDNY.
But the appeals court tossed the ruling and argued that Garaufis was no longer able to remain objective on the topic before appointing the veteran jurist Dearie to handle the case.
Some components of his rejected ruling remain intact, including his appointment of a federal monitor to patrol the FDNY's hiring practices for fairness.
But the monitor, Mark Cohen, has come under fire from city attorneys for his ballooning invoices that have thus far piled up to more than $3 million.
Garaufis has defended his work as necessary to ensure that minority applicants are treated fairly at the FDNY.

text: I saw the Deep blue metallic in person last week, and it was way darker than the one shown on Tesla website. However, when I checked the Sweden EVing gas station event, I notice that car is much more close to the ocean blue listed on tesla front page. That got me thinking if Tesla secretly changed the color and made us think that deep blue metallic is the new name of "Ocean blue" and reserve the real Ocean blue for later use (an executive color for "P" model?) Here I list some of the pictures I found on the web and 2 pictures that I took the other day. My pictures are closer to the one taken by another member on this forum. However, they both look different to the one in Sweden and on Tesla Front page. I was going to switch my P85D order from the old blue to the Ocean Blue, but deiced to keep the old blue after seeing the new blue in person. Hopefully my guess is wrong and Tesla isn't going to announce a executive color for the "P" car right after I pick up the P85D.

Taking a Different View of Whoopi
By L Parker Brown on January 9, 2017
I am a huge fan of Whoopi Goldberg. Followers of my blog may recall that seven years ago I wrote a post candidly expressing my concern about Whoopi's disheveled appearance on the TV talk show, The View. Undoubtedly, owing to my self-consciousness about appearance, I didn't hesitate to brazenly offer my opinion that Whoopi should […]

Tabloid Talk Shows and the People They Love
By L Parker Brown on March 21, 2014
Have you ever wondered what possesses people to go on TV programs like Maury, Steve Wilkos, and The Jerry Springer Show, and make jackasses of themselves? Those shows are difficult to watch, which is why I usually don't, but who hasn't heard about them? When I was twenty-something, I, like a lot of people in that age group […]

What Women Want: Tickets

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Carnival in Rio continued over the weekend with blocos on Sunday drawing crowds in the tens of thousands. The Aterro do Flamengo was closed to car traffic for the Bangalafumenga Bloco, which clocked 60,000 visitors, according to RioTur. The bloco's fifteenth Carnival parade featured a circus theme with clowns, stilt-walkers and fire-breathers at Flamengo Park's Monument to Pracinhas.
Bangalafumenga's singer, Rodrigo Maranhão, was emotionally moved by mood of the crowd. From the top of a car, he joked that "Banga" has no drum corps queen with any sponsorships or who "married up."
"Our queen is the Maricota chicken!" Maranhão said, referencing a Brazilian children's book character whose adventures featured themes of love, friendship, education and faith.
In the past, Banga used to have its parade on Rua Jardim Botânico, but this year was transferred to the Aterro because of its large following. In 2010, according to its organizers, more than 100,000 people participated in its parade.
Banga's drum corps is made up of 118 players, not including band musicians. One of the integral percussion members is Robert Patterson, also known as "Jacaré" (alligator). The American has a samba school in Texas, and played for his first time in Rio this year.
"The best thing about street carnival in Rio is how happy people are," says Patterson. "I feel at home here.
Other huge blocos on Sunday included Cordão do Boitatá in Centro, the city's center, and Ipanema's Simpatia É Quase Amor, which drew 150,000 according to Riotur.

Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) schemes link businesses with a university and a graduate to work on a specific project, which will enable businesses to grow and be innovative. The goal is to transfer expert know-how and skills into the company, and provide new challenges and ideas to the University.
KTPs have been helping UK businesses improve their competitiveness and productivity for more than 40 years. Each KTP is a three-way partnership between a business, a graduate and the University of Northampton. The University employs the recently-qualified graduate who works at the company. The graduate, known as the 'associate', brings new knowledge and skills to the business.
The benefits of a Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
- Businesses achieve an average increase in annual profit of more than £1 million after taking part. They also create around two new jobs
- Academic partners produce on average more than three new research projects and two research papers for each project
- Around 60% of associates are offered a permanent job in the company when the project ends
What will it cost?
Depending on the project and the requirements of the business, a KTP varies between 12 and 36 months. The costs of a KTP are significantly less than recruiting a graduate directly, plus your business benefits from the input of professional and technical expertise of the University. A KTP is part-funded by a Government grant. The amount businesses need to contribute is different for SMEs and larger companies. Your contribution to the costs of the project not only gives you the services of your KTP Associate, but also the time and expertise of the academics or researchers working with you, and expert guidance from a KTP Adviser.
KTP often delivers increased profitability for businesses as a result of the partnership through increased sales, enhanced quality and operations, and entrance into new markets. Social enterprises see improved results, too.
More information
The exchange of knowledge can benefit your business to be more competitive, profitable and to advance your processes and products. To find out more contact the Research and Strategic Bidding Office on 01604 892553 or email email@example.com.

Still think this is absolutely amazing. No skin irritation, still no creasing... I gave another powder a chance for a couple of weeks and the creasing was happening much more compared to this. This powder barely budges for me, no creases, no seperating... great setting powder. This is definitely my holy grail now. :) for those who are interested, give it a go! Hope it'll work out for you.
Wow. Wow. WOW.
This product is amazing. I got it about 4 days ago and I'm just blown away.
I came across this beauty after doing research on some mattifying powders. My skin is on the more drier side but I find that this doesn't accentuate the dry spots on my face.
After several months of using Sensais Total Finish powder foundation, I was looking for something more mattifying since we are now coming into warmer months and the TF powder just couldn't hold up. Was quite shiny at the end of the day. I tried Macs studio fix powder plus foundation since I used to use it about two years ago and nope. It was just too cakey and settled into fine lines, and really badly in my smile lines plus broke me out horrendously and caused redness.
This powder does NOT do that. In fact it completely hides my fine lines and doesn't settle into my smile lines at all which is great! For reference, I am between NC15 and NC20 in Mac and 20 Clair suits me perfectly. It does give a little coverage but you can build it up without it looking cakey or too fake looking. This hasn't dried my skin out like some powders do *cough* Mac *cough*. it hasn't irritated my skin and hasn't caused any itching so far either. It also holds up great throughout the day for my dryish skin. I don't do any touchups since it stays on so well. I do use this over my Estee Lauder Double wear and its perfect for that. I don't really have huge pores but this does smooth out my skin sooo well. Almost airbrushed looking. Even the lady at the Chanel counter looked airbrushed and she uses this. Staying power with just the powder... I'm not totally sure how that would go because I don't like just using powder so I can't answer that for you. I haven't really used the powder puff much, just once and that was fine. I usually just apply it with a kabuki brush and it goes on perfectly. I feel like this would also be perfect for those who have oily / combo skin. One downside is that there is not many shades, but it seems as if the current shades suits everyones skin.
Packaging: This is definitely not travel friendly. There isn't any cover inside for the powder so I can imagine this making a mess, so I usually just keep this at home and carry a compact powder just incase of touchups which I haven't needed to do so yet so yay! The container is HUGE so it would probably annoy some people with that. I haven't noticed any scent in this either.
Price: Yes, its expensive. It did kinda hurt a little... BUT! When I used to use urban decays pressed powder a while back, it cost me 45 Australian dollars per 2-4 months... while this is 82 Australian dollars / 510 norwegian kroner and I can see this lasting me easily a year... AT LEAST ... You really don't need much at all so it ends up being cheaper.
This is the best mattifying loose powder I have ever used. Its up there with one of my favorites which is Eve Loms Mineral powder foundation (however its discontinued now.) I would definitely recommend this to everyone.
If anything changes with this powder, ill definitely update this again. But so far so GOOD!

I would highly recommend this powder. I'd rebuy it "if/when" I can afford to. I've tried MAC prep + prime, Laura Mercier, bare minerals, et al & DS options like NYC & my old HG coty airspun. They ain't got nothin on chanel!. Chanel is A#1!! The pouf is awesome I've never seen a better one. And 30G is a heartily generous amount of powder. This takes the fuss & muss out of loose powder. Not travel friendly exactly but better than 98% I mean what loose powder is? At least the cap screws on securely. This is back in the high life again! This helps w oily skin. I wear translucent 2 and I am NC20/25 in MAC I'm normally Clair 20 in chanel other products but I had a hunch maybe I should go w Clair 30 I was right on that 1. Gorgeous matte not flat powder #winning ——- Grade A

This is a great setting powder. It keeps my make up lasting all day. If you have dry skin, it will make it more noticeable - occasionally this happens to me, but it goes away if I have exfoliated!
The finish is soft and matte. The puffer does drop a bit of powder, but if you're careful it shouldn't be an issue.
This product lasts me ages, so considering that it is worth the price! I recommend it!

Great setting powder. I do not look cakey with this powder, even when I end up over doing it. It is so finely milled and never ends up looking too obvious. I use it with my real techniques powder brush all over the face. I have used the puff it came with, and that did leave a beautiful finish as well, but it just takes longer to use than my brush in the mornings. I am very satisfied with this powder and will definitely repurchase, which is saying a lot because I am always trying new products! Also, don't be put off too much by the initial price. I have had my powder for almost 6 months now and I am not even halfway through with almost daily use.

I have this in clair as I have really fair skin and it sets my makeup beautifully, mattifying without looking cakey just perfect. It is very finely milled and after applying with the puff and brushing the excess with a large powder brush the effect is lovely. I use thish alongside the vitalumiere foundation and my skin looks perfect but natural a great loose powder, which also lasts the entire day.

Love this product
This is one product that I don't think I can ever be without. It creates the most beautiful, subtle, bronzed, glowing look that I can wear every day - no matter how tan or pale I may be. And a HUGE plus for me is that even though I have oily skin and this is a cream product, it doesn't make me more oily and it does not slide around once I've applied it.

Amazing finishing powder by Chanel! Does not break me out and gives me this wonderful glow but no sparkle. I don't use the puff included but rather a sponge puff and brush. Great packaging. Looks so pretty on my vanity.

Impressionistic Photography Course
I have completed this 6-week course with renowned impressionistic photographer Eva Polak. I learned a lot and enjoyed doing the assignments. I especially liked that the techniques I learned are all done in-camera. This type of photography will not produce tack-sharp images. In fact, many of these images have everything out of focus. And there are no rules. Anything goes. Here is a link to the course description and content: http://evapolak.com/Fundamentals_of_Impressionist_Photography.html#tabs1-jsRead More

Director of Public Funds and Commercial Affairs Prosecution Tariq Yassin was recently quoted as saying cases related to public funds have increased considerably, reports a local daily. He added, the prosecution had received 79 cases in 2013 compared to 110 in 2014. Yassin told the daily, most of the accused who are involved in cases related to public funds are Kuwaitis.
He said the total number of Kuwaitis involved reached 726 in just one year. He pointed out the dud cheque cases numbered 1,218 in 2014 while for 2013 it was just 852. On the spoiled foodstuff issue or foodstuff unfit for human consumption, Yassin said the Public Prosecution investigated 1,667 cases and the number of people involved was 2,617. He stressed at the same time the reason why the suspects were released was due to lack of evidence and skepticism in the responsibility of the accused for the alleged acts.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

Take a step back in time at Usk Castle Knights.
A medieval style encampment of pavilions reminiscent of the Field of the Cloth of Gold. Five large and colourful jousting pavilions are sited only a stone's throw (or should we say Trebuchet's throw) from the picturesque ruins of the Usk Castle.
Don't worry, straw mats have been replaced with modern, comfortable beds and each tent is furnished with Olde Worlde décor to enhance your experience.
Modern toilet and showering facilities are available in the custom built shower block designed to be in keeping with the rest of the site.There is also an outdoor kitchen area for meal preparation with gas hobs and fridges but adventurous knights can attempt to cook on the open camp fire.
Throw off modern day stresses and throw on a costume from the fancy dress box to thrust yourselves into character. Roam the castle ramparts looking out for invaders, attack medieval life. A selection of medieval games will be on offer. Naughty or misbehaving children can be contained in the stocks!
The encampment is ideally located, it could be deep in the countryside but is really only a short walk from Usk town centre, which has great pub food, excellent shops for all essentials, a variety of food outlets, and a Farmers Market on 2 Saturdays each month. The area is renowned for its excellent restaurants.
Usk is in real castle country with Skenfrith, Grosmont, White castle, Chepstow, Raglan and Abergavenny all in the vicinity. Children will love being Knights of the Round Table, playing in the castle, exploring the site of the battle of Pwll Melyn, with an exciting footpath through the surrounding 100 acres of woodland, and swimming in the river Usk with its Island playground just across the old railway bridge.

|Written during "a depressed state of mind," according to SK.
|Why doesn't anyone ever go back in time to kill Stalin? I've always wondered that.
|Once it's on The Simpsons, it can be considered as belonging to all of us.
|I suppose it's not that uncommon a practice, but I like how the same font design is used for both the book and the international markets for the film.
|Creepy first date...! Creepy any date, maybe.
|Martin Sheen's portrayal of Greg Stillson is great, as well. Another role (like Firestarter) where it's fun to think of this as some bizarro previous-work-experience on President Bartlett's cv.
|The wolf is loose...
|The Omega Man:
|Which, now that I think about it...
|is another film where a cult leader must be put down with a rifle via heroic self-sacrifice. (And look at that outfit! Not to make this a review of The Omega Man, but man, that movie.)
|and not Starlog. The twitching in the tub was a real fine touch for me. It made the difference to me in the 6th grade and still does today.
|I guess not every adaptation keeps the font design.

Durner knew that the company had to step up its marketing efforts, or fall further behind. In June of 2004, AMS looked outside its business to get help with the task, and turned to 919 Marketing Co., a nearby Research Triangle marketing communications agency, with a number of goals in mind: increase its number of qualified leads, make AMS top of mind for physicians, increase the visibility of the company and streamline its three distinct client lists into one unified list.
One of the challenges to be met was that AMS had originally been marketing as two separate companies-AMS and Fast Chart, its transcription business-and prospects found this confusing. "The decision-making process for this market is complex and political, and includes a team of business, medical and technology partners," said David Chapman, 919 Marketing's president-CEO. "The challenge was to find a way to reach all of them with a unified message that resonates."
919 Marketing merged the two separate entities under the AMS name and developed a tagline, "Profit from our experience" that better conveyed AMS' selling proposition. This marked the beginning of a complete rebranding for the company.
In practical terms, 919 Marketing's efforts included the development of a new logo and a complete overhaul of AMS' Web site. "We created a second-generation Web site that projects AMS as a large, successful and innovative player," Chapman said. "We also strategically reworked site copy for search engine optimization so that AMS ranks high when physicians go looking for information."
Additionally, the agency established a business development program that encompassed integrated direct marketing materials with multiple touch points such as newsletters, direct mail and scripted phone calls. It also created new sales materials, including brochures, insert sheets and trade show booths.
Media relations played an integral role in the rebranding efforts and helped position AMS executives as thought leaders in the medical industry, Chapman said. "Direct marketing is absolutely necessary to achieving results, but there is no substitute for validation from respected, third-party journalists," he said. "Ads certainly help with awareness, but only in conjunction with powerful PR."
AMS has been thrilled with the results of the rebranding and ongoing direct marketing efforts. "So far, we have generated more than 300 qualified sales leads," Durner said. "Direct marketing and media relations have helped increase awareness and engage these and other prospects. We can compete with the big boys now."

There are many things that have been written about me that are provably false but the Politico Magazine piece really takes it to another level. I can't be expected to correct all of these stupid journalists. If I did it would distract me from my mission of ultimately replacing them so I have decided to only address the factual disputes and I do so here only because I want a contemporaneous account.
Put simply, Jacob Silverman's piece on me in Politico Magazine is filled with inaccuracies. We all know what a "hit" piece is; his is a hit piece with false statements. Worse, when I offered to provide him with evidence about the claims that he indicated to me he was going to write about, he clearly indicated that he wasn't interested.
For example, Silverman falsely claims that I "made [myself] persona non grata at even fringier conservative outlets like Breitbart and The Blaze." This is false, and the fake statement is meant to smear me as somehow being "fringe." I've been on the Blaze's B-Cast repeatedly since going independent and I've been offered a job from Breitbart as recently as earlier this year. I offered to provide him emails showing evidence but he wasn't interested.
Most troubling, he also claims that I am racist and sexist and says that my work "targets" "women and minorities." This is false, and Silverman knew that when he wrote it. In fact, my work has often featured white male Republicans who are corrupt. One needs only look at the work that I did on the Republican Senator Thad Cochran and former Alaska Attorney General Dan Sullivan. Indeed, I launched my own news company (GotNews.com) by publishing the first person account of a black Reverend who claims he was paid by (white) Republican Senator Thad Cochran to help steal an election by scaring black people. I also wrote a dozen or so stories about the U.S. Senate elections that featured predominately white candidates.
Silverman also recycles more than a few discredited stories, such as claims that I was incorrect in my stories about Cory Booker not living in Newark, or the Robert Menendez scandals. My stories were not wrong. . When Silverman wrote his hit piece, Menendez remained under FBI investigation, having spent over a million in his own defense. Booker has never been exonerated; rather, he merely produced a few receipts to the liberal soft-ball site, BuzzFeed. The Buzzfeed does cat pornography well, but is it not an investigative journalism outfit that can "clear" a favored candidate who belongs to the party for which Buzzfeed is a shill.
Silverman also makes outright false claims about seemingly minor matters, in order to malign my a ability as an investigative journalist.. He claims, for example, that I offered to pay $250 for a photo of a politician's wife. This is not true. In fact, I offered to pay to see the alleged nursing home photo at the center of the Mississippi Senate primary. I wanted to see it for myself and I make no apologies.
Silverman also says I've published the home addresses of journalists from the New York Times and the Washington Post covering the Ferguson race protests. This is false but he has refused to correct it. I only published the home addresses of two journalists from the New York Times, and not the Washington Post– specifically, the two who published the street address of officer Darren Wilson.
Much of Silverman's piece relies on anonymous sources, ostensibly from my "editors" at other publications. Silverman is simply lying about this, and lying with malice. I have statements from those editors who edited me, including Tim Cavanaugh and David Martosko, at the Daily Caller, who say that Silverman never bothered to contact them. He couldn't have interviewed Andrew Breitbart because, well, Andrew is dead.
Finally, although more as evidence of a shoddy hit piece – poorly executed – I obviously reject the comparisons of me to the Westboro Baptist Church. This is simple, stupid argument ad hominem.
I am particularly disappointed by a publication such as Politico that obviously didn't bother to factcheck Silverman's claims. .
Hopefully, Politico will learn from this mistake.

Physiotherapy is the health care profession dedicated to enhancing and restoring your mobility through a variety of hands-on treatments, education and exercise prescription.
Physiotherapists are university-educated experts who can help you achieve your highest level of physical functioning (at any stage of life) by providing you with a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs.
What will the physiotherapist do?
The physiotherapist will ask you to describe your condition and ask you questions about your medical history, lifestyle, and goals. They will do a physical assessment as well as observe your level of mobility, strength and other physical abilities to determine the impact of your condition on your overall physical function. As a result of the assessment they will form a physiotherapy diagnosis of your condition and develop a treatment plan to optimize your function and reduce pain. Together we will determine a plan that will involve your active participation. The physiotherapist will measure your progress regularly and adjust your treatment according to your needs. The physiotherapist will advise you on how to manage your condition and how to prevent avoidable reoccurrences or complications.

New Nutrition Labeling and Marijuana Laws Pave the Way for AVT to Magnify Growth
- Marijuana industry worth over $2.34 billion and growing fast
- FDA says updating machines for compliance will generate $25.8 million
Jan 09, 2014, 09:05 EST
CORONA, Calif., Jan. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc. (OTC Markets: AVTC) (www.autoretail.com), a leader in custom vending machines, automated retailing business opportunities, and kiosks, announced that the new laws that require nutritional information posted on all food and beverage vending machines, and the legalization of medical and recreational marijuana throughout the nation, will create new growth paths for the company.
According to CNN, "The business of legal marijuana is booming," the network reported. "Shares of companies that service the growing cannabis market have been blazing in recent weeks."
AVT provides high-tech storage and dispensing systems used for legal marijuana that include James Bond-like security devices such as biometric fingerprint recognition and identification card matching.
The company also has a contract with a major hotel chain to provide dispensing systems for the new vapor and electronic cigarettes, which are very in demand.
"Many investors are clearly high on the potential for marijuana as an investment," CNN commented.
According to the Huffington Post, the marijuana industry is growing faster than the smartphone market, and is worth at least $2.34 billion.
Additionally, vending operators will have to upgrade or retrofit their systems to comply with Section 4205 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which requires vending machines to disclose calorie content for certain items. The new rules will apply to nearly 5 million machines.
According to a story on CBS, this change will mean big profits for some, and big expenses for others. "In the short run, it will not be small change for small businesses to fit their machines to comply with federal guidelines. It's not a label, but software needed to display the information," CBS reported.
AVT is a recognized leader in software development for vending machines and automated retailing solutions. The company's award winning interfaces have generated rave reviews from owners and users alike.
"We can bring machines into compliance with the new regulations," said James Winsor, CEO of AVT, Inc. "Or we can custom create a new solution for any operator, that includes our patented wireless connectivity, cashless payment systems, and a high definition interactive display that not only provides the consumer with nutritional information, but also entertains, engages, and upsells," he added. "Our solutions are completely unique, dynamic and captivating."

I told the almighty Facebook that I had a Grumpy column due and that something funny had to happen to me very soon so that I would have something funny to write about. I wasn't sure what to expect, if anything. I simply put a wish to The Universe for something funny to happen, because as we all know, The Universe is an avid reader of Facebook.
The very next comment was from a charming and intelligent female friend. She commented simply, "I just farted."
Fair enough, I thought. We all fart. I didn't need to know she just farted and I failed to see how I could possibly get an entire column out of this piece of information.
"I need way more info to get a column out of that," I told her. "Like, where were you when this alleged fart took place? Situation is important. An elevator fart, for example, is a lot funnier than your garden variety toilet fart... although given the acoustics of the toilet bowl, toilet farts can be the Bill Bailey of farts..."
"The Bill Bailey of farts?" my friend enquired. "What kind of fart would be the Noel Fielding of farts? Or the David Mitchell of farts? I distinctly remember waking myself up to Dylan Moran on Saturday morning. The fart I mentioned yesterday was at my desk and in the privacy of my own home. No witnesses, no shame."
No. The fart in question was strictly between my friend and I.
But it got me thinking, my friend's fart. I googled farting in elevators and was a bit shocked by the rich source of entertainment that unfolded before my eyes. Farting, it seems, is the single, most universally funny thing a human being can do. There are hours of footage out there of people fake farting in elevators (I assume they are fake farts), and the guaranteed reaction from every unsuspecting victim is laughter. A guy stalks his victims in a supermarket and squeezes one out and those around him double over laughing every single time. Two baseball-wearing kids are by equal measures disgusted and amused that someone in an elevator pops one out...
"Dude – you farted!"
"It wasn't me!"
The adult playing the prank lets another one fly, struggling to keep a straight face.
The first kid is wise now. "Oh I know who did that now."
"Yo momma."
Giggles all round.
I recall a time when one of my grandmother's ancient Pekinese dogs farted while asleep. The fart astonished the dog into sudden wakefulness. It leapt to its feet, looked around for this phantom creation and ran away, astonished and mystified and baffled by just what was going on here. And it was without a doubt THE funniest thing this kid had EVER seen in his entire short life.
Then I think about famous giggler and funnyman Peter Sellers. From memory, he had to do a scene where a bunch of gangsters get into an elevator, and one of the tough guys lets out a tiny little fart. They are supposed to play it straight, just look a bit disgusted and look at each other, like who's the dirty bastard who did that? But Sellers loses it and this sets everyone off. Again and again. They keep re-shooting the scene but they keep cracking up at the sound of the fart.
Eventually they decide they won't do the sound of the fart, the assistant director will cue them with the word "Now" so that they can react and wonder who the dirty bastard is, inserting the audio-fart later in the editing room.
At their new unfarting cue, they lose it again, time after time, giggling like naughty school boys.
It's a curious thing, how after hundreds of thousands of years of evolution something as basic as a fart can be such a rock-solid thing of comedy gold.
As Oscar Wilde famously said, "Why bother with wit when there are whoopie cushions?"
