Stars including Lady Gaga and Samuel L. Jackson headed to the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles on Sunday (22Mar15) to applaud Sir Elton John as he was honoured for his theatre work.
The Bad Romance hitmaker kicked off the benefit by performing her hit You and I at the Backstage at the Geffen event.
She later joined Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish as they were honoured with the Distinction in Theatre Award for their work for the stage. She posed for pictures with her good friends backstage in a revealing red-sequinned jumpsuit.
Gaga wrote on Instagram.com, "At Geffen's Playhouse. Honouring Elton & David for a Distinction in Theatre (sic). What a wonderful place this playhouse is, giving the possibility of 'magic,' as Elton says it, by making theatre available to more people, so no one is left behind."
Star Wars director George Lucas was also honoured at the Los Angeles gala, which raised funds for the not-for-profit Geffen Playhouse theatre.
Other attendees included Samuel L. Jackson, Anna Kendrick, Anjelica Huston and J.J. Abrams.

Saw this product online ,, went to the website and recieved the 14 day trial. Went back to the website and made sure they would not auto bill my credit card. They have not. Used the 14 day trial and then purchased a 30 day supply from GNC. I repeated this a second month. This is what I found:
1- No difference noted in my energy level
2- No difference noted in my libido level
3- This product only made me sweat profusely. When I stopped taking it, I stopped sweating.
4- I have had my testosterone level drawn about a year ago. Went to my physician for a yearly check-up and had it drawn again. Difference +20 ,,, No significant difference. So I must say this product does not increase testosterone.
5- The only thing I have noticed is the skin on my arms does not "tear" as easily as before. Coincidence?

Planning in this way maximizes the number of available parking spaces and optimizes traffic flow during the winter event, and it also minimizes potential problems with drainage and slick spots once the snow and ice start to melt.
Columbus, Ohio; Phoenix, Arizona; Racine, Wisconsin (PRWEB) January 07, 2014
With the season of snow and ice moving across the country, FacilitySource, the world leader in facility maintenance management for geographically dispersed real estate portfolios, announced today an enhanced Snow and Ice Management Program designed to help retail brands prepare for and quickly recover from inclement winter weather.
The Snow and Ice Management Program, which has already proven to be an invaluable service to retailers with stores or restaurants in high-risk regions like the U.S. Midwest and Northeast, includes several key features that help clients of FacilitySource prepare for and recover from a significant weather event as quickly and effectively as possible.
As with other FacilitySource programs, preparedness is the first component of the Snow and Ice Management Program. "Months before snow starts flying, our team conducts site reviews and creates detailed site maps and customized service plans for each contracted location," said FacilitySource CEO, Bill Hayden. "Those service plans include designated snow storage areas, drainage paths, and entry and exit routes. Planning in this way maximizes the number of available parking spaces and optimizes traffic flow during the winter event, and it also minimizes potential problems with drainage and slick spots once the snow and ice start to melt."
Next, FacilitySource identifies, screens, and secures a network of dependable and experienced snow and ice management professionals who are local to each store location. This vetting process, completed well before the onset of the winter season, ensures that the service providers assigned to each store location are the best in the area and can be relied upon to perform services as scheduled and according to the client's performance standards. Then the customized site maps and service plans are shared with the contracted service providers so that they arrive on site knowing exactly how to manage the snow and ice at that particular location.
In addition to securing and preparing service providers for each impacted geographic location, FacilitySource also prepares for the winter season by retaining its own meteorological team to keep all stakeholders updated on weather conditions prior to and during weather events. This proprietary intelligence enables FacilitySource to put snow and ice management professionals on alert and quickly mobilize them to any store expected to receive significant snowfall or ice. Corporate leaders, as well as all affected store managers, are notified when inclement weather is expected, allowing them to adequately prepare as well.
Then, as snow and ice events unfold, FacilitySource deploys Field Service Coordinators to each impacted store location to work with the local service provider to ensure that the process and quality of work meets or exceeds pre-determined standards. Field Service Coordinators also engage with store managers to confirm that they are completely satisfied with all work performed. As the weather event progresses and services are performed, the Winter Services Team at FacilitySource provides site-level status updates to its clients' corporate headquarters.
Finally, once the weather event has passed and all snow and ice management work has been completed, a detailed report for each affected location is compiled and submitted to the client.
The FacilitySource Snow and Ice Management Program is designed to provide clients with a comprehensive solution for dealing with snow and ice prior to, during and after the event. As Hayden explains, "Our pre-event planning, ongoing communication, on-site supervision, certified weather reporting, and consolidated invoicing enable our clients to remain focused on their business and their customers, even when winter weather strikes."
About FacilitySource
FacilitySource delivers customized facility management solutions to over 65,000 mall-based and non-mall-based retail and restaurant locations in the U.S. and internationally. Now approaching almost $2B in annual spend management, FacilitySource provides its clients with knowledge from the industry's largest facility maintenance platform, best-in-class service through an Elite Network of service providers, proprietary technology that gives real-time access to the client's own facilities environment as well as to industry benchmarks, and a flexible approach that enables clients to optimize their brand, customer experience and facilities maintenance budgets.

PSUACB Creator Gets Last Laugh
Remember CollegeACB, the Anonymous Confession Board that once tried to guide you through the tiers of frats and multitudes of frat stars and slam pieces?
Well, the idea came back recently as PSUACB.com. But just as everything was falling back into place, the site's creator pulled a fast one and revealed many of the identities of commenters on the site. JOKES ON YOU BITCHES. Hats off to the guy/girl who made it, because this is awesome.
The site reads:
Fooled you. 90% of this website was me having bullshit conversations with myself. Still, thousands of people read it. Almost every thread on this site received at least 1000 views and I've been raking in advertising money.
Even better, PSUacb was not anonymous. I tracked the user behind every post. Here is the list of people identified so far, as well as the search history for the site. More to come :)
Please address all questions, comments, and hate mail to [email protected]
Moral of the story: Grow the fuck up and stop talking shit on the Internet.
I'm eager to see what else this genius has up his or her sleeve.
Do you have thoughts on the Anonymous Confession Board trend? Let us know in the comments!

This is a list of the top 5 record databases that I would love to see placed online and would help my genealogy research the most. (Note that most of my ancestors lived in Georgia and South Carolina for the past two hundred fifty years or more, so my wants are mostly limited to these states.)
- USA Navy Records. There are so many Army records online - what about the other branches of the military?
- South Carolina Marriage Records, 1600-1930s. Many GA Marriage records are already available through Ancestry and FamilySearch
- SC & GA Divorce Records. If I can see the beginning of the marriage, I'd also like to see the end.
- SC & GA wills, 1600-1930s. There are some SC wills online via the SC Archive, but I'd love to see more and also wills for GA.
- SC & GA land records. All types: deeds, plats, homestead exemptions, mortgages, etc.
For now, I'll have to send off for Family History Center Microfilms (that take about six weeks to arrive) or travel to libraries, archives and courthouses.

Engineers: Tear down $12 million Highway 97 bridge
SALEM — Engineers with the Oregon Department of Transportation plan to recommend tearing down a nearly completed $12 million overpass on Highway 97 in La Pine after a geotechnical investigation found the underlying soil is unstable.
The Oregon Transportation Commission is scheduled to hear and decide on the engineers' recommendation at a meeting in Silverton in late October.
Ancient lake, modern ramifications
Project managers ordered routine soil tests of the project area before construction of the Wickiup Junction overpass began, but the tests failed to detect rare diatoms in the subsurface of the soil, said Della Mosier, an engineer and interim area manager for ODOT projects in Central Oregon.
The diatoms are silica-based skeletons of algae that lived in an ancient lake in the area and sank, forming a thick bed on the bottom thousands of years ago. The lake had been identified in geological maps, but initial tests gave no indication the soil differed from other parts of Central Oregon, where ODOT has successfully built other bridges, Mosier said.
Furthermore, past surveys of the ancient lake had limited information about the characteristics of the soil in the area, said Chris Carpenter, senior associate engineer with Cornforth Consultants. ODOT contracted with Cornforth and used expertise from the Federal Highway Administration to conduct the subsurface soil analysis at the Wickiup Junction project, using boreholes and soil samples from as deep as 280 feet below ground.
In contrast, ODOT's routine pre-construction soil tests involve penetrating and testing soil 125-feet down into the earth, during which the agency identified only a 50-foot layer of volcanic crust deposit and 75 feet of dirt.
"We have been building bridges in Central Oregon for decades and have never encountered this," said Paul Mather, administrator for the ODOT Highway Division.
Unstable ground
The advanced subsurface tests were conducted after engineers noticed two earthen embankments constructed for the overpass were settling faster than expected.
The weight of the overpass crushes and shifts the diatoms, causing unpredictable settlement of the structure, Mosier said.
By the time the conditions were detected, project managers had already completed 80 percent of the project and spent more than $12 million of the $17 million budget.
The cost of tearing down the bridge is estimated at another $2 million, said Robert Townsend, a project manager in the ODOT construction office in Bend and The Dalles.
The diatoms are common in parts of Oregon's Klamath Falls and Mexico City, where engineers design "floating" structures with big basements that remove most of the structure's weight, Carpenter said.
Engineers, however, don't know enough about characteristics of the soil to determine whether such as design option would work and be safe for motorists on the Wickiup Junction overpass, and any such project changes would be expensive, Mosier said.
The project was intended to enhance safety and mobility at the intersection of Highway 97 by allowing vehicles to bypass a Burlington Northern Railroad crossing at the location. School buses and vehicles carrying hazardous materials are required to stop regardless of whether a train is present at the crossing. The frequent stops created potentially dangerous situations for heavy freight traffic and other vehicles passing through the area.
The intersection is the last "at grade" highway crossing of railroad tracks in Central Oregon, said ODOT spokesman Tom Fuller.
The overpass spans a segment of the highway that intersects with a road that leads to a fishermen's paradise at Oregon's second largest reservoir, Wickiup Reservoir, in the Deschutes National Forest. The overpass is located about a 30-minute drive south of Bend.
Highway 97 is considered an emergency northbound arterial route through the state in the event of a catastrophic earthquake that destroys bridges connecting Interstate 5.
Prevention plan
Engineers on the Wickiup Junction project plan to ask the commission for direction in October on whether to use leftover money from the project to conduct more tests of the soil in the area or investigate alternatives to make the Wickiup Junction safer.
ODOT Director Matt Garrett also plan to convene a panel of experts through the Federal Highway Administration's Resource Center to analyze problem soils in other parts of the state.
The obstacle to the Wickup Junction project comes as ODOT is under the spotlight for how it might manage a $5.3 billion transportation package, approved by state lawmakers in early July.
"Obviously, our eyes are open, but we don't anticipate having this problem in future projects, with such a unique situation," Mather said. "We wouldn't anticipate to encounter this again."

MoDOT will improve the remainder of the state's 5,600 miles of major highways over the next five years. These busy highways will receive wider stripes and rumble stripes, brighter signs, paved shoulders and smooth pavement that will bring 85 percent of Missouri's major highway system up to good condition by the end of 2011.
Called Better Roads, Brighter Future, the program targets highways carrying 80 percent of all travel on the state highway system—that's 103 million miles traveled a day. About 95 percent of all Missourians live within 10 miles of one of these roads.

For most mere mortal human beings amongst us, the thought of running One mile may likely be daunting enough of a task. How about making it even more difficult by doing it backwards?! Bethany College in Kansas, USA's Track Coach Aaron Yoder recently decided to take on the challenge and shows us what can be achieved if you set your mind to it.
Running backwards, in comparison to the usual forwards kind utilises slightly different muscles in the legs and lower body and so the kind of training required would certainly be needing some minor adjustments in addition to the cardio and stamina training.
"I put a training plan that was designed to enhance my backwards running." Aaron told us.
"I trained exclusively in backwards running for 6 weeks and then made a plan to attempt the challenge… simple as that!"
When talking about the specifics of his regime, he told us:
"For 8 weeks I would do about 45 minutes of backwards running a day and 45 min of weight training a day as well. The backwards running training consisted of one day for sprint work, a day for speed endurance, a day for a tempo 2 mile, a day for a long run and a day for hill training. I still kept one day for running forwards to keep those muscles firing too. I always warm up for about 30 min before workouts to stretch and enhance my core. I believe warm ups are the key to success!" he said.
As you can see in the above video, Aaron smashed the 6 minute mark by clocking an impressive 5 minutes 54 seconds at the Lindsborg based college Athletics track.
When asked about the motivation for doing something so unique; many would say 'unusual' even.
"My goal is always to inspire people to get fit. If seeing what I did with the power of my mind and training, and regardless of the kind of challenge it is you are successful with, the aim should be to go out and achieve your goal and also get fit at the same time!"
Yoder recalls how he actually first began running backwards as a kid, he said:
"It was a way for me to get a better workout at home on the treadmill we had. Then I started running backwards just for fun and my mom would ride along with me outside on her bike."
Whilst training for this quirky running challenge, Yoder discovered that there is actually a community of backward runners and also a world championship that he plans to compete in this summer in Essen, Germany.
He hopes maybe someday it could even become an Olympic event.
"You never know," he said.
"Ultimate Frisbee is a recognised Olympic sport… so like everything we should believe when we set our minds to it; It's a possibility!!"
We asked Aaron what his message for the world would be, and to anyone who hears about his highly original achievement?
"Always be motivated by self-improvement, exercise and physical activity for your mind, body and all-round health and wellbeing. After all, we have one body and we must do our best to look after it in our own ways daily. And find your own way of doing things… there's nothing wrong with that at all!"
Nothing wrong with that all!!

According to Mama's Laundry Talk, the yellowing of clothes occurs because of chemical reactions with the fabric, and so to whiten the clothing, you must use substances that can reverse that chemical reaction. The most common culprit for yellowing is household bleach, sodium hypochlorite. The most common chemicals to reverse bleach effects are lemon juice and borax.Continue Reading
Mama's Laundry Talk states that lemon juice is a mild agent for reducing yellowing that is not sufficient for all cases, but it is a good method to start with. Add one-quarter cup of lemon juice to a gallon of boiling water, and soak the affected garment for one or two hours. Then allow the garment to dry in the sun. If necessary after lemon juice, add one or two tablespoons of borax dissolved in two cups of water to the rinse cycle of your washer.
According to Mama's Laundry Talk, while bleach is usually the culprit in yellowing, the specific reactions that cause yellowing depend on the fabric involved and the water used for washing. Any polyester or polyester blend fabric is prone to yellowing from household bleach. High iron content in the water, as is common with well water, is also a likely cause. Avoiding bleach on polyester fabrics and adding water softeners to well water reduces yellowing. Using bleach more sparingly also reduces yellowing.Learn more about Laundry

It's been 3 years since I have made an entry here. And a TON has happened. I moved out of West Hollywood to Silverlake. Wrote and recorded an EP. Went on tour in Brooklyn and the East Coast with Sister Mantos. Got into some sort of alternate-reality-from-my-previous-life scene. Went to a Halloween party dressed as Madonna. Met the love of my life who was dressed as "White Gold". Road motorcycles. Wrote another EP. Moved to Venice. Built a beautiful and successful studio store.
Got engaged. Planned a rad wedding. Got married. Closed the studio store in order to move back to Silverlake, and in with my Husband. And now I'm fully Eastside, and adjusting to my new life, and for the first time in forever, I do not really know what's next!!! Yes, I will continue to do Rossmore. , it's a part of my soul, to spread love and light through jewelry.,, but, I feel that I must try some new diversions. Therefore, until I figure it all out,,, it's time I return to blogging... which is sort of how this whole Rossmore. thing started,, (GO BACK THROUGH MY OLD POSTS!!! It's kind of dope!)
I will post some back dated photo sets amongst new sets. and it will be fun. Let's get weird.

Why Use a Mobile Phone Tripod?
If you use your camera phone regularly, you probably take the odd shaky photograph or video clip. After all, most mobile phones don't stand on their own too well, and few of us have arms long enough to position the camera quite where we want it when taking a self-photograph.
As video recording facilities on mobile devices have become more and more common, a need for suitable tripods to safely hold a handset without damaging the display or pressing any of the buttons has emerged.
Over the past year or so, more and more solutions have been made available that resolve this very problem, enabling you to mount your mobile phone and take steady photos and videos.
There are four particularly good tripods that can be used with mobile phone cameras.
- slide 2 of 6
Basic Camera Phone Tripod
Ideal for digital cameras and camera phones alike, this compact tripod comes with an adaptor to hold and attach your mobile firmly in place.
At just 20 cm long it is nice and portable, and can be easily slotted into a handbag, rucksack or even a coat pocket. Meanwhile the heavy legs help to keep the camera steady while you line up your shot.
The basic camera phone tripod costs £9.98 and is available from Amazon.
- slide 3 of 6
Universal Mobile Phone Tripod
Nokia's recent camera phones have high quality video capababilities – so it makes sense that they should help their customers make the best use of this by releasing a mobile phone tripod.
As such, this tripod is designed for use with the Nokia N-Series of phones - Nokia N95, N93, N80, N73, N72 and N70 handsets – although you would be hard pushed to find a device that you cannot use with it.
Complete with a very useful clasp for holding your camera phone in a variety of positions, the Nokia DT-22 tripod uses standard attachments; this means that you could mount the clasp and your phone on a standard tripod, or use a general camera with this smaller tripod.
Find out more at www.nokia.com.

GSI Tripod and Lens
The standard purpose of a tripod is to steady the camera as you find and line up the optimum shot. No tripod – and especially not camera tripods – should add additional features to your camera.
It seems nobody told GSI that, however. They've brought out this superb tripod which not only allows you to securely mount your camera phone, it also allows you to position it on the mount behind a removable telephoto 30x70mm lens, affording your camera phone 8x optical zooming!
Available on Amazon for $29.99, this excellent product could really change the way you take photos with your mobile.
- slide 5 of 6
Another Universal Mobile Phone Tripod
This more modest option returns to the common design of clasp plus tripod, with minor adjustment options available. Equipped with a 360 degree universal joint for lining up shots in different ways, this mobile phone tripod features a versatile adjustable clasp that in theory can be used with any camera phone.
Using spring-loaded grip, the clasp holds your phone firmly in place, while a second adjustable part prevents the camera lens being obscured by the grip.
Find mobile phone tripods with this design on Google Product Search.

GorillaMobile Flexible Tripod and iPhone Case
Finally for the iPhone users wanting a tripod specifically designed for them, the Joby GorillaMobile Flexible Tripod features a case for slipping your iPhone into before clipping to the tripod.
The GorillaMobile features over 24 leg joints, allowing the tripod legs to bend and rotate through 360 degrees. As such amazing camera positions are available and the GorillaMobile stand can be wrapped around posts or positioned on soft furnishings. Complete with residue-free adhesive clips for mounting other phones, this device is available from Amazon for $44.95.

Ionic liquid assisted microwave synthesis route towards color-tunable luminescence of lanthanide- doped BiPO 4
Ln 3+-doped (Ln=Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy) nanoparticles of BiPO 4 with a particle size below 10 nm were synthesized in a straightforward manner from the appropriate mixture of the respective metal acetates and the task-specific ionic liquids choline or butylammonium dihydrogen-phosphate by conversion in a laboratory microwave (120 °C, 10 min). The ionic liquid acts not only as a solvent and microwave susceptor, but also as the reaction partner and nanoparticle stabilizer. The materials were thoroughly characterized not only with respect to their optical properties but also by PXRD, FT-IR, TEM techniques. Furthermore, depending on the lanthanide, the nanomaterial shows intense luminescence of different colors such as: orange (Sm 3+), red (Eu 3+), green (Tb 3+) or even white (Dy 3+).

A Statue In The Garden - Poem by Eleanor Agnes Lee
I was a goddess ere the marble found me.
Wind, wind, delay not!
Waft my spirit where the laurel crowned me!
Will the wind stay not?
Then tarry, tarry, listen, little swallow!
An old glory feeds me
I lay upon the bosom of Apollo!
Not a bird heeds me.
For here the days are alien. Oh, to waken
Mine, mine, with calling!
But on my shoulders bare, like hopes forsaken,
The dead leaves are falling.
The sky is gray and full of unshed weeping
As dim down the garden
I wait and watch the early autumn sweeping.
The stalks fade and harden.
The souls of all the flowers afar have rallied.
The trees, gaunt, appalling,
Attest the gloom, and on my shoulders pallid
The dead leaves are falling.

text: Napster tops traffic listings last week, says Nielsen/NetRatings Published on August 02, 2000. The impending shutdown of Napster triggered a 92% jump in daily traffic to the site for its file-swapping software last week, according to the Internet ratings report for the week ended July 23 by Nielsen/NetRatings. Napster traffic peaked at 849,000 unique home visitors on July 28, the day the federal court granted a stay, from July 25, the day before the court's ruling. The site broke the 800,000 unique visitor mark both on Friday and Saturday, covering more than 3% of all active home Internet users each day. On July 28, when the stay was announced, downloads of Napster software more than doubled from the day before to 22% of its audience, indicating renewed interest.Copyright August 2000, Crain Communications Inc.

Meanwhile, cover the potatoes with water in a small pot and bring to boil. Salt the water and boil for 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes and run under cold water to cool. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
Drain the lentils and run under cold water to cool. Drain well and add to the potatoes.
Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet and saute the onions, garlic, ginger and chile pepper until softened. Stir in the tamarind paste and spices to toast them, then remove from the heat.
Add the spice mixture to the lentils and potatoes. Gently stir in the cilantro, spinach and lime juice. If the salad seems dry, add a little more oil. Serve.
You can use 2 tablespoons store-bought curry paste (such as Patak's) in place of the tamarind, turmeric, cumin, coriander, powdered mustard and cinnamon.

Jess's early learning story
Hi, I'm Jess, and this is my early learning story.
Before I was even born my mind and body were already learning and growing.
That's me.
Home was my first classroom, you'll be amazed at how much I was learning.
I was learning in the high chair.
I was learning in the park.
I was learning in the car.
I was learning when we were playing.
I even learn from my big brother, and I never stop.
I'm like a little plant, you have to feed me that good growing stuff.
Every part of me is growing in leaps, and bounds.
And every little bit counts to growing me up to be the best I can be.
Big me will thank you big time, for shaping my big learning brain, for my big learning life.
Make the early years count.
Research shows that learning starts before birth, and plays a significant role in a child's journey towards a successful future. Jess takes us on a journey through her early learning experiences in the home and community, meeting her first teachers; her parents and family.
Join Jess as she tells her successful early learning story.

Musicals are not for the literal-minded, and that probably should have ruled out Chris Columbus ("Adventures in Babysitting," "Mrs. Doubtfire,") as the man to bring Broadway's long-running hit "Rent" to the screen. He labors mightily to make the movie look and feel like something that genuinely bubbled up from the mean streets of Alphabet City at the height of AIDS angst. The emphasis is misplaced, but at least Columbus does it with the utmost respect.
He also deserves full marks for bringing back nearly all the actors who created the roles in 1996, so the Rentheads will find plenty to like, if only because so much is familiar from Broadway.
The thing that made the stage version a hit, and has kept it running, was Jonathan Larson's arresting score, which seemed to reflect everything from Sondheim and the Who to Puccini ("La Boheme" is the loose source) and "Hair." Columbus preserves it, but he doesn't work with it. He just stands in slack-jawed awe and rolls camera. Onstage, "Rent" is a series of power surges, but in the movie the songs leave you flat.
Fear of music: It's why Columbus and co-adapter Steve Chbosky added maybe 20 minutes of dialogue to what was a sung-through show, almost every bit of which has the opposite of the intended effect. Instead of making things more realistic, it exposes the hokey material. Columbus and cinematographer Stephen Goldblatt serve up dark, gritty settings that capture "Rent's" milieu but not its expansive heart. It would have been better by far to stay cocooned within the propulsive music and its parallel universe of inflated emotions.
-- Nelson Pressley

Tooni from Post Falls, Idaho says:
"This is exactly the item we wanted to enable someone else to see us on the road if we had an emergency. Easy to operate. Every car show have one. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
Vark from Morgantown, WV says:
"Purchased two of them, one for the truck an one for the wife's car, it be excellent on the top of the truck or car, to alert some one coming in any direction there is a car along side of the road, warn them ahead of time to slow down, not hit me.Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
wpd3004 from Wausau, WI says:
"I purchased two of these after watching the video. I was not the least bit disappointed. I put one in my RV incase of a road emergency, however we found that the children love playing with it. The second one I bought I got for my mother-in-law, who kayaks on a very busy lake. She uses it on her kayak which lets the jet skiers and speed boaters know she is out there. Excellent product. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
Double L from Oklahoma City, OK says:
"I tour by motorcycle and sometimes have to wait out a rainstorm at the side of the road, the safety puck gives me some added visibility and hopefully keeps me from being run over by an errant motorist. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
Celtic from Gallup, NM says:
"Easy to use, very bright, I like that unlike cheaper versions the battery is good for 10 years. Can also be used for wilderness rescue light. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
David from Richmond, VA says:
"A stationary vehicles near fast moving traffic is a recipe for disaster. If my wife is stuck on the side of the road, I want her to be safe. I want her to have use of more than just hazard lights. I put one in each of our cars. I hope never to need to use them, but I feel better with them available in the glove compartments. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
Flogger from Wichita, KS says:
"I purchased two of these after trying other products to use on my motorcycle. To use the motorcycle flashers all of the lights have to be on which runs the battery down rather quickly. The safety flares really add an attention grabbing array of flash patterns to create a safety zone in case of a breakdown. The magnets hold well and are prevented from contacting paint surfaces of the vehicle by being recessed into the housing. I haven't HAD to use them yet but my testing has been very positive. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
Bruce from Seattle, WA says:
"Bought one; found it to be great. Bought several for Christmas, found it to be popular. Bought more for the family and the boat, to keep them safe. It is a great warning or attention getting device, virtually indestructible, and sticks anywhere (metal). The multiple flashing modes makes it very versatile. Priced it from other sources, and Duluth was the lowest. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
Carpenter from New Jersey says:
"Excellent safety device. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
Trussman from Portland, OR says:
"Placed one in each truck. Great visibility. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
CurtBo from Lee's Summit, MO says:
"Since this is for emergency use, I don't have (and don't want to have) a reason to use it. I've looked at the "PowerFlare" brand and they are about $50. At $30 I thought this was a bargain for something I might never use. I am confident it will perform well. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
Doc from Chicago, IL says:
Tim P from Malibu, CA says:
"Keep it in reach in the car. It is small enough to fit in door pockets. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
Jeary from Kent, WA says:
"Attention grabber insures that you are seen in your time of need in all situations. Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
Kiloh from Hoodland, OR says:
"Every vehicle we own has one as well as in backpacks in the event one of us becomes stranded or lost in the woods or while cross country skiing, backpacking. Doesn't replace GPS locator offered by many ski locations so always check one out if headed into back country and use the log-in log-out journal....makes the Search & Rescue folks pleased to know it is being used. BE SAFE! Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
First Responder from Oregon City, OR says:
"I gave this to all family members at Christmas..they all were happy about it, but the "Hunters" were more excited about now having another tool to keep track of each other while out in the field. Peace of mind knowing that, if they get lost or hurt, they will be highly visible for Responders to find them! Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"
Hope from Salt Lake City, UT says:
"Yearly I try to give emergency preparedness gifts to my adult children - this fit the bill this year, especially the sons who are traveling in extreme weather conditions. It was captivating to the grandchildren too! Yes, I would recommend this to a friend!"

Do you ship internationally, or at least to Canada?
No. If we did, you would receive squished and probably spoiled treats.
Do you offer gluten free Dillos?
Not at this time. To be truly "gluten free", we would need a dedicated kitchen, which we don't have. Our carrot cake contains no gluten by default and is delicious.
Are your palm oils humanely sourced?
The companies that we have chosen to purchase our ingredients from (that contain palm oil) have informed us that they only use palm oil sourced through ethical sources.
So if your treats are Vegan... Does that mean they're healthy?
If you mean healthier for the animals that did not suffer to make your treats, yes. Otherwise they do still contain sugar and processed flour so they won't likely turn you into a bodybuilder... but they are better for you than the alternative. There is no cholesterol, hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors, or preservatives and they are much better for your conscience and impact on the planet.
You have shirts that say,"I Get My Protein From Cake"... What is the protein source? Is this considered a supplement?

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
I'm 50. There, I wrote it. To other people, and not just in a journal, on an insurance claim, or W-2. I actually said it out loud as well. To a man.
I was having dinner with one of my closest guy friends. We'd been meeting up to talk about the midlife crises that had hit us both pretty hard. He, a confirmed bachelor, successful in real estate, who regularly dates women in their twenties, and I, peri-menopausal and freaking out about everything. I'd just helped my best friend exit the world with what smidgeon of dignity pancreatic cancer hadn't stolen from her, my parents were in the hole financially and selling off my childhood home, my phone wasn't ringing for work, and on top of all that, I was having these "crime scene" periods. It was like my vagina had slaughtered something. Should I go back to college, adopt another kid, raise llamas? I couldn't afford a vacation so I was taking a lot of naps.
When you feel stuck in other areas, and you're looking for something to raise your dopamine fast, there is something that seems easy to change -- who you're fucking.
I've been married for 16 years, which in the new economy is the paperclip anniversary, and we're heading into that murky middle zone. Beginnings always hold excitement. We have rituals to fete the newly engaged, married and even implicit in divorce is the promise of a new beginning. Divorce registries are becoming popular as divorce parties are cropping up.
But middles, in every context you can think of, are fraught with their own kind of turpitude: middle children, middle management and let's not forget the Middle East.
As we mulled over my enervated state, he said with the greatest concern for my well-being, "You better do something now, while you're still fuckable." I didn't think twice about my response. "You're right," I answered immediately.
Why wouldn't I say that?
Sure, there's been a slew of media attention for aging seductively but the images are of women who are household names, many of whom employ teams of stylists and trainers. These "only getting sexier" boosters seem to spend thousands of dollars just get out of bed each morning. Between the crèmes, injections and voodoo sacrificial rituals, who would even have time to get laid?
I was never the kind of woman who wanted to marry someone for power or status, but if I were, that would be a challenge at 50. Successful men my age, like my pal, regularly date younger women whom they often marry and have second, third or more families with. This is the privilege enjoyed by alpha males in chimp and gorilla societies, and for the furtherance of our species, it makes sense on some levels.
But, let's say I just wanted a hot one-night stand, where would I look for that?
Sure, there's the Cougar dating site, but I can't get past the name. Cougar is such a predatory animal and implies an undertone of desperation. Furthermore, on the Cougar dating site, the young men are called cubs. What mother wants to have sex with someone named after the baby of her own species. YUCK.
The AARP certainly doesn't think I'm fuckable.
Every week, since the day I turned 49, the AARP solicitations started appearing in my email. Any political party worried about voter fraud should just employ whomever the AARP uses to track people down, because they are on top of it.
For the record, AARP, you're killing the erections that many of your members are paying good money to achieve. Couples pictured on the emails are dressed in matching cotton pastel sweaters and pleated khaki pants. The entire outfit screams, "Here take my libido and hold it for the rest of my life, which won't last much longer."
AARP also offers you a refrigerated travel bag when you join. It's just so damn unsexy. What's the refrigerated part for? Medications, no doubt. Maybe I'll join when they feature a couple in matching Jil Sander elegance and offer a gym bag, a bottle of wine, or even a bacon-of-the-month club membership. Just something that doesn't advertise, "Your health is your top concern while traveling."
How taboo is it to announce that you're 50 to the world at large?
Well, if Twitter is any gauge, consider this tale. After friends were nice enough to help announce my entrance into the Twitter-sphere, a guy tweeted, "You're so pretty, will you marry me?" Then he saw my age. I was promptly un-followed in less than 140 characters, and schooled with, "You're older than my mother, eeeew, gross, I need to shower now." For the record, I also picked up followers who appreciated that my bio notes "since 1961." But still, that stung.
I went to see my gynecologist, and I explained all the concerns I had at facing 50. Many women I know have switched to female OB/GYNs, which I applaud; it just happens I've always liked my guy. He treats me with the kind of anonymity that works in my favor in Los Angeles, because in this town, I rank very low on the powerful woman scale. I'm just "tilted uterus, entering menopause, cystic breasts lady."
When I started going to him I gave him a copy of my first book, "Fired!," to which he said, "So Woody Allen called you retarded, and you wrote a book about it?"
"Well," I explained, "It ended up being a great opening line to get other people to tell their stories."
Last year he interrupted my breast ultrasound with, "Wait, you're the one who wrote the book about arguing with your husband and getting divorced, right?
"No, actually, I wrote about how we argue and we're still married."
As I left the office, he handed me prescriptions for hormone replacement therapy and held up his hand to wave goodbye and offered this pearl of wisdom, "Stay…"
Pause. (It was a big pause, but there are definitely no pregnant pauses in my life anymore.) What would he say? Would it be that adage girls signed yearbooks with at my junior high school, "Stay the same, never change?" Stay healthy? Stay happy? Stay hydrated? Would he go all Bob Dylan on me, "Stay forever young?" Nope.
"Stay… funny," he said. Fuck me. Dying is easy, comedy is hard.
It's also a laugh riot to consider how much our culture, not to mention our easy access to pornographic images on the web, has rewired our brains. Miranda Priestly in "The Devil Wears Prada" smartly reprimanded adorable Anne Hathaway for imagining that she'd picked out her lumpy blue sweater herself when millions of dollars had influenced her "cerulean" purchase. It only stands to reason that what turns us on has been selected for us by countless cultural avatars.
That saying "40 is the new 30, "never really caught on as "50 is the new 40," but soon, 50 will be the new Everybody, because our population is aging, and so the question of what fuckable looks like, even if put in less direct terms, is going to be a big topic from bedrooms to board rooms.
Now I wouldn't be the daughter of the feminist movement that I am if I didn't acknowledge that the essential question is: What about what I want? How interested am I in sex anyway? A survey conducted by iVillage suggested that women in their forties would rather Facebook than sit on someone's face. They didn't even ask women in their fifties!
Well, I wouldn't put the quest for an orgasm up there with the need for oxygen, which in my twenties was definitely the case. At the onset of peri-menopause, I even considered getting the words Gone Fishin' tattooed above my vagina. But hormones helped me get my groove back and turn my weepiness into anger, and really, few things invigorate me more than a good fight. I decided I should take on turning 50.
First off, I decided that I shouldn't make decisions out of fear of not being fuckable, so I started telling everyone I could that I was turning 50, and it's been very liberating.
So fuck you, 50, you're my bitch. I'd wrestle you to the ground, but I've got a little arthritis in my pinky, so it would hurt too much. And, you know what? If I do get that tattoo, I think it will read: Under New Management.

FDA, NIH collaborate on AE reporting
The FDA and the NIH have agreed to develop a harmonized adverse event (AE) reporting mechanism for consumers, health professionals, investigators, sponsors and other parties to electronically submit reports.
The project is aimed at developing a "Rational Questionnaire" and electronic prototype system for reporting. The questionnaire is intended to be an "interactive help system" that will assist AE reporters in determining which data need to be submitted and to whom. The prototype system will allow the agencies to test the feasibility of a central, federal web-based portal to provide direct, seamless, online submission of adverse event reports to appropriate agencies.
A harmonized reporting system would reduce the amount of reporting by clinical investigators, according to the MOU. Currently investigators must submit separate AE reports to multiple agencies using different forms.
"Oversight bodies and agencies receiving this information are often faced with tremendous volumes of data reported in idiosyncratic ways, which often frustrates efforts to conduct meaningful aggregations and analyses of data, or to cull from reports information key to important safety concerns," the MOU explains.A joint Federal Adverse Event Task Force has been formed and they are tasked with developing a consensus standard for adverse event reporting called the Basal Adverse Event Report.

Insights From Analysts and Experts
Products have evolved from purely mechanical and electrical components to complex systems that are increasingly connected to the Internet and each other. The emergence of these smart connected products in the Internet of Things—and the rapidly expanding universe of capabilities that derives from automated machine to machine (M2M) interaction—will create new forms of value for manufacturers and their customers.
- Analysts and governments alike are realizing the potential IoT economic impact, and encouraging manufacturers to adapt their business models to maximize their participation in the industrial internet.
- In Europe, Industry 4.0 is establishing a long-term IoT vision.
- The United States is doing much the same with the Industrial Internet Consortium.
To capitalize on the business opportunities and the IoT economic impact presented by the smart, connected products, discrete manufacturers will have to look at the way they develop, service, and even sell their products in new ways. PTC helps manufacturers to make sense of the explosion of information around the industrial internet and to separate the signal from the noise as it pertains to smart, connected products, Industry 4.0 and other M2M business models.
