LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 12, 2013) - MyMedicalRecords, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MMRGlobal, Inc. (
The complaint alleges that WebMD provides health information services to consumers and healthcare providers, as well as employers and health plans through both their private and public portals. The public portal, such as the one accessible at www.webmd.com, also allows consumers to review a variety of health and wellness information. Starting in 2007, MyMedicalRecords began meeting with WebMD. At that time, WebMD's private patient portal, called WebMD Health Manager, allowed patients to enter certain health information into an account and run a self-assessment. Since that time, WebMD has changed WebMD Health Manager into an integrated, untethered and consumer-controlled Personal Health Record (PHR), incorporating features and functionality that are the subject of MMR's patents.
With the assistance of the Liner firm, MMR is pursuing efforts to monetize its patent portfolio and other IP by investigating potential infringement of MMR's patents by entities such as retail pharmacies, EHR and PHR vendors, laboratory systems, hospitals, physicians, and other healthcare professionals.
MMR is a leading provider of Personal Health Records, MyEsafeDepositBox storage solutions, and MMRPro document management and imaging systems for healthcare professionals. The MMR Patent Portfolio includes seven issued U.S. patents as well as additional applications and continuation applications including nearly 400 claims. MMR also has been granted patents and has other pending applications in countries of commercial interest including Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, Mexico, Japan, Canada, Hong Kong, South Korea, Israel, and European nations. The patents involve inventions pertaining to Personal Health Records, Patient Portals and other Electronic Health Record systems.
Additionally, MMR holds biotech patents which, among other things, pertain to the manufacturing of compositions for B-cell vaccines used in the fight against lymphoma, and also anti-CD20 antibodies. MMR's biotech patent portfolio, which was acquired through its 2009 reverse merger with San Diego-based biotech company Favrille, Inc., currently includes three U.S. patents (U.S. Patent numbers 6,911,204, 8,114,404 and 8,133,486) four U.S. pending patent applications, and numerous additional patents and patent applications globally, as well as other IP which is the subject of 13 million dollars in licensing agreements.

Public funding agencies are increasingly requiring "broader impact" components in research grants. Concurrently, national educational leaders are calling for scientists to partner with educators to reform science education. Through the use of survey and interview data, our study examined the participation of researchers, faculty members, and graduate students from federal research laboratories and a Research I university, who were involved in K-12 and public outreach activities.
We found that scientists were often recruited into K-12 outreach activities by local departmental liaisons, colleagues, or professors. Scientists most frequently gave presentations, tutored, and organized or judged science fairs. Outreach participation varied by career stage, job type, and gender. The strongest motivating factors were a desire to contribute and enjoying their outreach experiences. For graduate students and researchers, a third motivating factor was the chance to improve their teaching and communication skills. Scientists of all types, however, viewed outreach as a form of volunteer work that was auxiliary to their other responsibilities. Time constraints due to other, higher priorities, the lower value placed on outreach by departments, and a lack of detailed information about outreach opportunities were significant barriers to participation. Even so, only a few scientists viewed their outreach experiences negatively, mostly due to classroom management, logistical, or organizational problems, or a lack of outreach skills.

Elementary Students' Ideas Concerning Fossil Fuel Energy
Audrey C. Rule, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, 116 Swetman Hall, State University of New York at Oswego
Forty-two academically gifted and thirty-two average-achieving elementary students in grades one through six were interviewed to determine ideas concerning fossil fuel energy. There were no significant differences between the responses of the two populations. Major categories of misconceptions encountered during interviews included misconceptions about: configuration or distribution of petroleum reservoirs, gasoline manufacture and storage, the origin of petroleum, the importance of petroleum in our society, petroleum prospecting and recovery; and the nature of coal and natural gas.
Misconceptions about fossil fuels arise for a variety of reasons. Students sometimes misunderstand scenes from movies, televisions shows or cartoons, make incorrect analogies with more familiar experiences, misinterpret diagrams in printed materials, misconstrue the meanings of symbols, or confuse similar-sounding terms or words with more than one meaning.
Sixty-seven preservice teachers responding to a ten-question survey to investigate the persistence of fossil fuel misconceptions into adulthood revealed many held the same ideas as elementary students, confirming the importance of addressing younger students' ideas during instruction.

FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. -- During World War II, sitting in aircraft hangars at Birmingham, England, were millions of undelivered pieces of mail and packages. Those U.S. service members in Europe took notice that no mail was being delivered and Army officials reported that a lack of reliable mail was hurting morale. It was predicted that it would take six months to clear the backlog in England, but who was up for the task?
In November 1944, African-American women -- 824 enlisted and thirty-one officers -- were recruited from the Women's Army Corps, the Army Service Forces, and the Army Air Forces to form the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, or the "Six Triple Eight." The first and only all-female African-American battalion to be deployed overseas during World War II was organized into a Headquarters Company, for administrative and service support, and four postal directory companies -- A, B, C, and D -- commanded by either a captain or a first lieutenant. The battalion would be commanded by Maj. Charity Edna Adams Earley, the first African American woman to achieve the rank of lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army.

By Courtesy Story, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton
MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, California -- There is no greater story teller than a veteran of war. However, it is often difficult for them to articulate the things they had seen in a way that the average civilian might understand. Sometimes the story gets lost in the details. Sometimes the humor or significance of a certain situation is lost on the listener. The term "you just had to be there" is far too often an understatement. Damaso Sutis found a friend to share his story. In fact, he found two.
Retired Gunnery Sergeant Damaso Sutis began his day boarding a bus heading to Camp Pendleton for the 72nd Battle of Iwo Jima Commemoration Tour. The tour made stops at the Santa Margarita Ranch House and the Mechanized Museum that houses military vehicles past and present.

A VA psychologist in Indiana is exploring the effects yoga might have on Veterans suffering with posttraumatic stress disorder.
"There's just not that much research out there yet about the effect of yoga on PTSD symptoms," said Dr. Louanne Davis, a clinical research psychologist at the Indianapolis VA and an associate scientist in clinical psychology at the Indiana University School of Medicine. "But we know that yoga is soothing. Yoga is very meditative and emphasizes being aware or mindful of your breathing and how your body feels moment to moment. This type of practice stimulates the calming branch of the nervous system and helps to reduce the hyperarousal that is one of the symptoms of PTSD."
WASHINGTON - The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded three university contracts to research and share local history through the diversity of Veterans' experience found in VA national cemeteries, officials announced Feb. 16.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 2017 -- The Defense Department has launched mandatory training for eligible service members about their options under the "Blended Retirement System" nearly a year before that new system goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2018, Defense Department officials said.
The new military retirement system is "one of the most significant changes to military pay and benefits that we've had over the past 70 years," said Anthony Kurta, who is performing the duties of undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness.

WASHINGTON (Army News Service) -- With just 18 hours of notice, the 82nd Airborne Division can deploy and conduct a forcible-entry operation in support of U.S. interests. But the division wasn't always that ready, and they weren't always airborne.
With 2017 marking the division's 100th anniversary, the 82nd is now launching a series of initiatives to commemorate its history, share the story of how it became the unit it is today, and celebrate all that the paratroopers have done for the United States and the world.

QUANTICO, Va. -- The Army Criminal Investigation Command is cautioning Soldiers to beware of a form of cyber extortion in which criminals engage in online sexual activities with a victim and then demand money or favors in exchange for not publicizing potentially embarrassing information.
In these "sextortion" scams, the extortionist will convince a Soldier to send a compromising photo or engage in a sexually explicit video chat, then threaten to send the compromising images to the Soldier's command, family and friends unless "hush money" is paid, according to CID's Computer Crime Investigative Unit (CCIU).

MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. -- It was a breezy Friday afternoon, Oct. 30, 2015, as the USS Boxer was underway, moving through choppy waters off the coast of Southern California. Marine Sgt. Zachary L. Piepenhagen stood on the smoke deck to take a brief break from work and enjoy a cigarette with his peers when he noticed someone climbing over the guard rail of the ship.
Piepenhagen, without hesitation, sprinted across the weather deck of the ship, jumping over the separation rope, and grabbed the sailor who was attempting to jump to his death. They grappled for a few seconds, the sailor resisting him in an attempt to escape, as both lives were in imminent danger of falling off the ship. Piepenhagen was able to pull the sailor off the ledge and back onto the ship, with the help of two other Marines, holding him against the ship's bulkhead until help arrived.

From a Defense Commissary Agency News Release
FORT LEE, Va., Jan. 30, 2017 — Commissary savings now will be reported more often and better reflect the cost of living where patrons shop, the director and CEO of the Defense Commissary Agency said.
We have updated how we measure patron savings at the commissary, Joseph H. Jeu said. This enhanced way of calculating savings doesn't change the actual dollars that patrons save, but it will give patrons a better understanding of price comparisons in their local area.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24, 2016 — Many successful initiatives are underway to reform the Military Health System, but the system will require change to continue its many benefits to readiness and patient care, military medicine's top leaders told a Senate panel yesterday.
Dr. Jonathan Woodson, assistant secretary of defense for health affairs; Navy Vice Adm. (Dr.) Raquel Bono, director of the Defense Health Agency; and the Army, Navy and Air Force surgeons general made recommendations to a Senate Armed Service Committee personnel panel on defense health care reform.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23, 2016 - Several tax law changes could significantly affect how service members and their families file their 2015 income tax returns.
"It's probably the biggest set of changes in many years" said Army Lt. Col. Samuel W. Kan, executive director of th eDefense Department's Armed Forces Tax Council, which oversees the military's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.

FuelFix Voices blogger David Vaucher is among the first people to get access to Google Glass and is exploring ways to use the wearable technology in the oil field.
Working through the Google Glass Explorers Program, Vaucher, a petroleum engineer, is chronicling his experience with the computerized eyewear on his FuelFix blog Building Hydrocarbon Bonds.
He notes that wearable technology can provide a solution to oil field data overload, as the industry drills more complex wells and taps more challenging reservoirs. Google Glass programs can give field engineers handsfree access to large amounts of data in an efficient way.
"It is really, really crucial that the oil and gas industry not see Glass and its future iterations as a way to PUSH more and more data onto its field specialists and engineers, but rather a means that these professionals can more easily PULL this data in a way that frees them up to work more safely and efficiently," Vaucher wrote.
Vaucher is working on Google Glass test programs that would give field engineers voice-activated access to details about a job location and its equipment, as he demonstrates in the video above. He notes that the technology also could be used to conduct field walkthroughs from a safe location.
In another job application, firefighters have demonstrated how the technology can assist in responding to emergencies, helping to maneuver safely through smoky environments.
Though Google Glass is not without its challenges for on-the-j0b applications, Vaucher says, "I really do feel like this is the future of technology and there are tons of potential applications for Google Glass in the oil field."

Blame it on an economy still on the mend or go so far as to credit the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Either way, there's fresh evidence of a slowing in health inflation in the latest survey of employers by Towers Watson and the National Business Group for Health.
The survey also affirmed a trend abundantly familiar to a growing number of working Americans: cost-sharing is on the rise.
The cost of providing employer-sponsored health care benefits, according to the survey, is expected to increase 4.4 percent this year, climbing to $9,560 per employee compared to last year's $9,157.
That's a bigger jump between last year and 2012 but not much of one. Employer health costs in that period rose 4.1 percent, the lowest increase in 15 years.
See also: US employers turn to private exchanges to cut health costs
The survey also found that the employees' share of premiums increased nearly 7 percent, to $2,975, this year.
Out-of-pocket costs also increased. The total employee cost share has climbed from 34.4 percent in 2011 to 37 percent in 2014. Employees now pay over $100 more each month for health care compared with just three years ago.
What's driving these numbers? Reduced direct coverage, in most cases.
As outlined by the results of a TW/NBGH survey, companies are gradually shedding the components of their health plans because everyone else is doing it. The competitive advantage has swung to those who have divested themselves first of the burdensome expense of employee health coverage.
To be sure, this detailed survey of nearly 600 major U.S. companies offers evidence that plenty of employers (95 percent of respondents) will continue to view benefits packages that include health coverage as something worth retaining. But almost the same number — 92 percent — plan to make changes in the near-term to lessen their coverage responsibility.
The big-picture trend cited by the data is one of the enterprise backing away from health coverage as other options emerge.
Employers are banking on the one-two punch of private and public exchanges to take over the task of providing affordable health insurance to current and former employees. While few employers are willing to completely pull the plug on coverage, there are some willing to do so. And, if the trends spotted by this survey continue, these leaders will be cited as the precedent by others to follow in their footsteps in order to remain competitive.
"Despite the moderation, health care costs continue to outpace inflation and remain a major concern for U.S. employers given the challenging macroeconomic environment," said Ron Fontanetta, senior health care consultant for Towers Watson. "To find more effective ways to manage health costs, many employers are focusing on reshaping their health strategy for the next three to five years."
Here are some of the results that support the un-coverage reaction:
Dependent coverage
- 49 percent of respondents said they increased employee contributions for dependent tiers at higher rates than for individuals. Another 19 percent expect to make this move next year.
- 24 percent said they now use spousal surcharges of around $100 per month when other coverage is available to the spouse.
- 70 percent believe offering subsidized coverage for spouses is important today. But for 2015 and beyond, only 56 percent believe that subsidized health care for spouses will be very important.
Employee cost-sharing
- Employees' share of premiums increased nearly 7 percent this year. The total employee cost share rose to 37 percent in 2014, up from 34.4 percent in 2011.
- Employees now pay over $100 more each month for health care compared with just three years ago.
- Account-based health plans are the top item these days, with three-quarters of respondents acknowledging that such programs are at least one component of their package. The most popular, the health savings account, is essentially managed by the company but funded by the employee. In its crystalized form, these employee-owned plans shift both cost and responsibility to the individual.
- 16 percent of respondents having adopted account plans as their sole health insurance option for employees, with nearly one-third of all companies indicating they may only offer these plans in 2015.
- Two-thirds of companies believe that private exchanges will offer a viable alternative to employer-sponsored coverage for active employees as early as 2015. Many also view the private exchanges as the future coverage for their retirees.
- Nearly two-thirds of employers that offer a sponsored plan today for retirees say they plan to send all of their pre-Medicare-age retiring workers to public exchanges.
- While the survey indicated that employer confidence in public exchanges is still low, it revealed that respondents are carefully watching the evolution of the exchanges as they weigh scrapping employee health insurance and helping them find exchange coverage.
"Most employers are taking a wait-and-see approach to gauge whether these models can deliver greater value for their active employees than self-managed programs," said Helen Darling, president and CEO of the NBGH.
While two in five respondents cited the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as the primary driver of their health care strategy, the slow growth in health spending can mostly be attributed to the economy.
Between 2009 and 2011, government statistics show that health spending jumped 3.9 percent every year, marking the slowest growth since tracking began in 1960. The trend led to an average growth of 4.2 percent each year from 2008 to 2012. That was much lower than the growth of 8.8 percent between 2001 and 2003.
Although the recession officially came to an end in 2009, many experts project slower-than-typical health care spending for several more years.
The economy accounted for 77 percent of the reduced growth in health spending, a Kaiser Family Foundation study last year found, while the other 23 percent was attributed to changes in the health care system, such as higher deductibles and other cost-sharing measures.
The TW/NBSH survey was completed by 595 employers between November and January. Respondents collectively employ 11.3 million full-time employees, have 7.8 million employees enrolled in their health care programs and represent all major industry sectors.

Always I had a few questions, how the heck do I create new instances of objects without writing 30 lines of code (probably a hundred or so in some cases).
How do I pass an "Object" to a function that simply pushes the object into a vector, while being able to send all of the class "Object" derivedrens unique? Ultimately, Passing *Object to the function while *Object might be a space ship, a wall, a planet, an asteroid, a tree, etc etc...
The answer is an Object Factory. An Object factory that creates other Object Factories, a super factory to manage -EVERY- object in your entire program. This "Object Factory" would be at the very very very VERY tip top of your Include files, included once into the entire project, but used and weaved in throughout, in amazingly seemless OOP.
I believe this is the HOLY GRAIL of oop, the pinnacle of C++ as an object oriented language, and to boot, not that difficult to understand the outlying structure of the whole thing.
I will include an example of a simple Object Factory below..

In February 2017, Seattle Public Schools mathematics content area began the process of evaluating instructional materials for grades 6-8 math after recognizing a need for a standard curriculum across all schools that is robust and flexible enough to support and accommodate our diverse community. After the formation of an adoption committee and review of materials by the committee, staff, and the community, more than 30 middle school math classrooms across the district will be piloting one of the two final selections this fall.
Thank you to our adoption committee who spent the last six months reviewing the materials and finding the programs that are best suited to eliminate the opportunity gap for our students. enVisionmath2.0 and Glencoe Math have been moved forward for consideration. Both of these programs offer rigorous, engaging, and culturally responsive content accessible to a wide variety of learners; the educator tools are adaptable and easy to access; a wide range of family resources are available; and both are within the required budget constraints. Over the next nine weeks, the math content area and members of the adoption committee will be observing the pilot classrooms in action and gathering feedback from students, teachers, and parents at the field test sites.
Later this fall, we will extend an invitation for parents, staff, and the community to provide feedback on the final two textbook options. The materials will be on display at schools around the district and all are encouraged to review. Additionally, we will host a panel discussion with the field test participants sharing insights on the effectiveness of both resources.
In the winter, the adoption committee will present their final recommendation to the school board for implementation in the 2018-19 school year.
For more updates and information, please visit the 2017 Middle School Math Adoption page.

Thanks to the Gulf Stream, the southwest peninsula of Great Britain, Cornwall, enjoys a subtropical climate. There are many beautiful and interesting spots to visit in Cornwall, so I decided to focus on the westernmost part of the county which has a rich history and a remote landscape. Charming fishing villages, subtropical flora and seaside fun draw explorers, artists and adventurers to the area. The rugged coast intertwines with sandy bays making it not only a beautiful place to explore, but also a place where legends are born. The landscape that now attracts many tourists was once remote enough to be an ideal locale for infamous smugglers to bring their wares ashore.
This part of Great Britain is decidedly unique and is well worth a visit. The following 5 spots will most certainly not disappoint visitors:
St. Ives St. Ives is perched above the sea with picturesque beaches, colorful flowers, cobblestone pathways and decent surf. St. Ives is easily accessible by rail or car from London. One telling sign of a great place to visit is somewhere that people describe as an artists' haven. St. Ives is most certainly one of these. Tate St. Ives is a distinguished art gallery where traditional local art meets new ideas and works.
Minack Theatre Sometimes you go to a theatre to experience a specific production and sometimes you go to experience the theatre itself. The Minack Theatre falls into the latter category. I don't mean to take anything away from the productions themselves as there are some world class performances staged here. However, the setting of the outdoor theatre is breathtakingly stunning. It sits high above the rugged cliffs of Porthcurno and was built, almost singlehandedly, by an amazing woman named Rowena Cade (1893-1983) who bought the piece of land for 100 GBP! She started the granite project at the age of 38 and carried out physical improvements to the theatre well into her 80s.
The Lizard The Lizard is the southernmost peninsula in Britain. It is where you'll find a rugged coastline exposed to the elements of the open sea. In some of the small coves that are protected by the rugged cliffs, small fishing villages with colorful boats and thatched roofed houses exist hand in hand with the sea. Since this is a peninsula, you won't find passers-by. Visitors need to go out of their way to discover this dramatic piece of land. In fact, history has shown quite a few nautical mishaps and shipwrecks with the Man O' War Rocks just off its treacherous coast. Of great historical interest, Marconi sent his first transatlantic radio message from Poldhu Cove in 1901. Due to its climate, several types of flora can be found here that are not found anywhere else in Britain.
Flora Day in Helston If you happen to be in the area around the 8th of May, Helston is the place to be. On Flora Day, Helston hosts an all day parade with dancing and costumes, children and adults, artists and entertainers alike. Loads of visitors celebrate in the streets with a carnival-like atmosphere from morning through evening. Helston is also home to The Blue Anchor which is one of the oldest inns in Britain which has been an operating brewery for 600 years.
Penzance and St. Michaels Mount Penzance has some brilliant architecture and an illustrious history. It is a market town with great pubs and hidden gems amongst its winding streets that lead to the sea. There is a mysterious feel to the charming village with the tales of smugglers and pirates who once passed through the area. At low tide, walk the causeway to St. Michael's Mount where a historic and fairytale-like castle sits upon a green hilltop just waiting to be explored.

Which stage of grief is denial? Right, that's Stage 1. On Monday, when a really, really sad Rex Ryan announced that Darrelle Revis had indeed torn his ACL, the Jets coach said he wanted to talk to his star cornerback before putting him on season-ending injured reserve.
There wasn't really anything to discuss—an anterior cruciate ligament takes six to nine months to rehab. But Ryan had only just gotten the MRI results. Maybe he needed more time.
Still, no sense dragging things out. Putting Revis on injured reserve would allow the Jets to add an extra roster spot, at a time when the team desperately needs a few more warm bodies. Alas, Ryan's grieving process appears to only have reached Stage 3: bargaining. So today he said that he still wasn't ready to put Revis on the list. Why?
Oh, no. Rex, what? Seriously, what? The Jets are already trying to covert a running back—a very fast and not bad at all one—into a cornerback because they're desperate. But the coach still won't write off Revis, not when he might be able to come back in six months, which is basically almost five months, which is February, which is the one time when the team might need him most, if the patchwork secondary can just hold out till then. This also apparently means that the new, quieter, skinnier Ryan just sort of backhandedly guaranteed a trip to the Super Bowl. Jets fans can feel free to skip to Stage 4, depression.

Moving the needle on student achievement may seem like an easy feat, but if you ask Debra Brock, Principal of Whitesville Road Elementary, she can tell you that it takes an entire community for a school to show gains.
Just two years ago, the school received a score of 55.8 out of 100 on the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI). This score placed them on a Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) watch list. Today, after the GaDOE released the 2017 CCRPI scores and climate star ratings, the students and staff of WRES can celebrate because they are now the second highest scoring school within Troup County School System (TCSS) with a total of 80 out of 100 points.

From perfumes to Skechers, the Kardashian clan promotes a range of products. But don't count on them shilling for the peanut industry anytime soon.
Kourtney Kardashian's 11-month-old son Mason was reportedly hospitalized Friday after having a "little reaction" to peanut butter and is now "fine," the reality star wrote on her blog.
"He threw up within minutes of tasting it and got hives on his face," Kardashian wrote. "I called 911 and the fire department came immediately. They suggested that we take him to the hospital, so we did. He was in good spirits the whole time and didn't even know anything was wrong."
Kardashian went on to write she'd learned to "always follow my instincts and call 911." She also criticized a "creepy" paparazzo for snapping video of the incident outside her so-Cal home.
It is unclear when Mason, who turns one Dec. 14, was released from the hospital. He was "doing fine," Kardashian tweeted Monday.
The reality star's mom Kris Jenner and sister Kim Kardashian explained Monday on Good Day L.A. the allergic reaction happened as Kourtney was trying to expand Manson's diet.
"You have to test out new foods to see if they have any food allergies," Kim Kardashian said, E! News reported.

The Hope College Alumni Association will present a Young Alumni Award to 1997 graduate Luke Pinkerton, president and chief technology officer of Ann Arbor-based Polytorx, on Saturday, Oct. 23, during the college's Homecoming Weekend.
The Hope College Alumni Association will present a Young Alumni Award to 1997 graduate Luke Pinkerton, president and chief technology officer of Ann Arbor-based Polytorx, on Saturday, Oct. 23, during the college's Homecoming Weekend.
Pinkerton will receive the recognition during a celebration brunch for all Hope alumni being held at the Haworth Inn and Conference Center. Registration for the brunch, which begins at 9:30 a.m., is required.
The Young Alumni Award was established to honor the talents and contributions that young alumni have made to their professions, their communities and to the college, and was first presented in 2007. Criteria include having been a member of the Alumni Association for 15 or fewer years; notable prominence through professional endeavor, research, volunteerism, and/or involvement with the local or global community or the college; and demonstrating significant initiative by starting innovative service projects, research, businesses or other original enterprises.
Polytorx, which Pinkerton co-founded in 2003, manufactures Helix, a twisted steel reinforcement that is mixed with concrete to provide superior strength and resistance to cracking, faster installation times and lower costs than traditional materials such as rebar. Helix is sold in more than 30 countries for virtually all uses of concrete.

Posted February 8, 2010on:
Today is Super-bowl Sunday. The greatest unnecessary day of the year.
I never got sports in general, men watching men on men while keeping the thought that the concept is not the least bit 'squirely'. Sports are a manly thing, that still puzzles me. You would think that people who sleep next-to posters of sweaty muscled tall men would take a second thought about their heterosexuality. I am the wierd one for having a picture of chicks with giant robots
(Chicks digg giant robots)
But I digress,
The super-bowl is a tradition, even in my family, and it is one of the rare holidays that actually brings families together. Its rare to actually have everyone at in the same place. this year they projected the super-bowl to have are around a hundred million viewers. That's…..too much.
things you could do with 100 million viewers;
1) Raise Significant money for Haiti
2) Promote energy efficient products (couldnt find a pic of me hugging a tree)
3) MacGruber teaser
Im just saying you can do so much good with the whole world watching but meh,
My family does not have the regular super-bowl experience. We all used to gather around the TV and watch the commercials and put the game on mute. Commercials used to be amazing, I remember the original Budweiser frogs & the first Sega Dreamcast commercial; those really caught my eye. CGI is pretty.
Tonight I'm missing the super-bowl, and its not like I did not want to watch it; Its just that watching it requires me moving. Yes, I am that lazy and I can be in this society, because all the commercials are on YouTube right after they appear this year. Front Page.
Manly manly men watch manly manly men be manly with other manly men. One Hundred Million people obsessing over twenty men fight over a ball just makes me ponder.
I need a shower.

Handel's Last ChanceSony Classical - Hal Leonard Corporation
Handel's Last ChanceSony Classical - Hal Leonard Corporation
Click to review
Ten-year old Jamie O'Flaherty, who comes from a very poor family, has been caught stealing and is in jail. Handel, whose career is failing, needs his newest composition to be a big hit. By a stroke of destiny, the young boy and the composer become unlikely allies. Handel gets Jamie out of jail and the boy lends his golden voice to the first performance of "The Messiah." This production is filled with many of Handel's most glorious musical works, and the captivating story reminds us that when you believe in yourself you can give yourself one "last chance" and make a comeback! Selections included on the CD are Solomon (Arrival Of The Queen Of Sheba); Messiah (Ev'ry Valley Shall Be Exalted); Music For The Royal Fireworks (Overture; La Renaissance); Water Music; Concerto Grosso, Op. 3, No. 3 in G Major (I. Allegro); Messiah (Rejoice Greatly, O Daughter Of Zion; Amen Chorus and Hallelujah Chorus).

The Philles at the All Star Break 2008
One of the things I noticed about the team coming up to the All Star Break is that they've showed a lot of heart through the season leading up to the All Star Game. We are 96 games into the season that leaves only 66 games to go till the end of the regular season. It's funny how fast the All Star break comes around and the Phillies could be in a worse situation than they are now. For now they are in first place by the slimmest of margins ½ game ahead of the Mets who have put on a run of 9 games won in a row to get to the All Star break almost over throwing the Phillies out of first place for the time being.
The one Phillie player who has played everyday in every game has been Ryan Howard, he has logged play in all the games so far for the Phils, next to him the Utley and Burrell combo has each played in 94 games for the fightins. Utley has been the offensive leader of the team without a doubt although you have the double edged sword of Ryan Howard of 28 HR's and 84 RBI's so far despite having an incredible 129 strikeouts through the first 96 games. Look maybe for Howard to get a day off here and there in the next couple of weeks, he may need a couple days off especially if he keeps on striking out – but his 84 RBI's is an amazing amount of rbi's to have up to the All Star Break.
Utley leads the team in the following catagories:
Runs: 68
Hits: 106
Runs Created: 84
Slugging Pct. : .584
Cole Hamels has been the Ace of the staff despite getting a couple of no decisions in his last couple starts that were pretty good.
In the last ten games the Phillies are 5-5 – in contrast the Mets have been 9-1 as they charge for first themselves. If the Phillies are going to stay in first they are going to have to go out and start the next 66 games as if they are all important and they need to win them all. The Mets are going to be there at the end, near the top and they have been surging in the last couple of weeks.
The Phillies have already had 2 million fans through the turnstiles at Citizens Bank Park, they should have 3 million by the time the season is over, so the fan support is there although vocal support can go a long way for the players, where the booing can wear on a player, just ask Chase Utley.
Joe Blanton was added to the staff on Thursday July 17 – what pitcher will be replace by Blanton because Joe hasn't had such a great year himself lately. Hopefully, this will change but until we see this, it could be another bad pitching pickup by the Phillies.

you probably have answered this question for billion times... sorry. But i was wondering if NYX lippies taste funky at all. You know, they're so cheap, you get what you pay that kind of thing. What's your opinion? thanks! you rock! sorry about the bunny :(

Ooh, thanks for the swatches. It's so tough to tell how they look from the NYX website. I think I'm sold on the Barbie Pink and Gold Pink!

Hi, is the taupe swatch you have on here for the megashine or for the brush on? Because you say "brush on" where the swatch is, but in the picture with all the lip gloss cases it seems as if the third lipgloss is a megashine and says "taupe". I really like that swatch and I'm just trying to figure out if it's in megashine or brush on, so that I can go and order it on cherryculture.
- May 12, 2008 at 10:05 AM
- Vanessa said...
Anonymous- It's a megashine but it also comes as a brush on, I forgot to add it on the other swatch picture so I added it with the other two brush on liplgosses.

Hi Gee,
Yes it's more pink than purple. They have some of their colors mixed up! Even "Beige" isn't beige, LOL!

Lovely swatches, are some of them ones I recommended? ;) I think I have to get Beige now!! xx

how strange! I have a similar post, but I must say ur swatches are much better than mine! I didn't get to buy any of the lipglosses..I just swatched for now =/

Ooh, I need Barbie Pink in my life! I think this will feed my pink lippie fix. I think Natural will be a good nudie for me.

I got my package today. Thank you so much! :)

Is Taupe in the megashine dry like the brush on? I remember in your video with the NYX lipgloss swatches you said the brush on Taupe was dry. That's the reason I haven't bought it. Also, would you consider Taupe a good dupe of MAC's Underage? Thanks for all the help!

LOL at Cady Shop! Aww how come the NYX display near me doesn't carry half of these colors! They had funky useless ones like blue and gold, I love Cady Shop actually, it looks really pretty.

Hi Nessa, I'm Audrey :) I love your blog so much! I find your tutorials really helpful and your makeup application really inspires me. I'm new to blogger, and will be doing some beauty blogging so I would love it if you would check it out occasionally!

natural looks SO yummy! looks much more caramelly in your swatch than in the bottle. ::confused::
- May 12, 2008 at 7:34 PM
- Anonymous said...
g_046 - I don't find them to taste weird. The lipsticks have no taste at all whilst the lipglosses (more the megashines than the brush-ons) have a slightly fruity/candy smell that I really like and maybe a slight fruity taste but nothing unpleasant. HTH :) xx
- May 13, 2008 at 12:23 AM
- Nanzy said...
OoOoOo very pretty : )
I have Smokey Look and Lilac Field on the way !!! and I'm glad I ordered those hehe look so pretty on swatches.
I am darker than you and although I would love to try Taupe for smoky eyes, I'm afraid it'd look 'dead' on me...what do u think?
- May 13, 2008 at 1:23 AM
- Vanessa said...
g_046- Yes there's no weird taste or smell to these lipglosses, they are perfectly fine.
Stephanie- I think Taupe is good dupe of MAC's "C-Thru", but "Underage" has more peachy nude tones.
Petitebelle- LOL at Cady Shop too! It is such a pretty color!
Hi Audrey! Thanks so much, I'll be sure to stop by when I can!
Arissa, yeah natural is more of a brownish taupe on the lips..
Nanzy- I think taupe would look gorgeous on you since you have darker skin so it pops out more, for me if I wear nude lippies I think I look washed out since it matches my skin color, LOL!
- May 13, 2008 at 8:52 AM
- Christiana Divine @ Memoirs of A Shopping Addict said...
Thanks for the lipgloss swatches. I think I'll have to pick up "Taupe", "Lilac Field", "Smokey Look", and "Cady Shoppe" now. :P Hehe. :)

that's probably true : )
thanx Nessa !

awesome swatches! do you think taupe is a good dupe for mac c-thru? it looks similar-ish in the swatch i think.

I love lip gloss! I've been buying more NYX l/s, but forgot about the l/g. Now I'm eyeing a couple colors. Thanks for the swatches girl :)
- May 14, 2008 at 9:35 PM
- Emilee @ GMM said...
I keep hearing about Barbie Pink, and now that I've seen it in person, I have to get it! Taupe also looks like a great nude shade, too.

Tea Review 87 - Jun Shan Yin Zhen (Yellow Tea)
Jun Shan Yin Zhen (Yellow Tea)
Upton Tea Imports
As I read through the section on yellow tea in Mary Lou and Robert Heiss's excellent book, The Story of Tea, it occurred to me that I'd never actually tasted any yellow tea.
Well, I decided it was time to resolve this matter and set about getting my hands on some. I'm not inclined to buy tea in quantity without tasting it first, so I found myself patronizing Upton Tea Imports, who make all of their stock available in sample sizes (if you know of anyone else who offers yellow tea samples, do tell).
Yellow tea is probably the least known type of tea. According to the Heiss's, it's similar to a green tea, except that after the initial drying and just before the first firing, it goes through a step "called men huan, during which yellow leaf tea is lightly and slowly steamed, then covered with a cloth to allow the leaves to breathe."
Here's what Upton has to say about their Jun Shan Yin Zhen:
"This rare yellow tea from the Hunan province has a rich history, and was once a famous tribute tea. The flavor is light yet richly layered, with floral notes, a light, fruity aroma and a gentle bite on the palate. Very limited supplies."
As far as the dry leaf goes, Jun Shan Yin Zhen is reminiscent of white tea, with small, narrow leaves that may or may not have a yellowish cast to them. It seemed that they might, but perhaps I was just in a suggestible state.
The aroma of the dry leaf, as well as the brewed tea, is very subtle and the latter has a light golden/yellow color. The flavor is just as low-key, though my perception might be affected by the fact that I've been drinking a lot of heavy Assam teas lately.
Mouth feel is exceptionally smooth, without even a hint of bite or bitterness. The best part was a lingering, sweet aftertaste that was still around a half hour later and may have lingered longer if I hadn't taken a drink of water.
If you're a fan of full-flavored teas only, Jun Shan Yin Zhen is probably not what you're looking for. For those who like white and light green teas, it may be worth a try.

Moving people and cargo by water vessels - this goes back to America's earliest days while remaining important today for U.S. commence and industry.
Captains, mates, marine mechanics, and pilots are just some of the occupations needed for both kinds of water transportation. Career and employment opportunities in water transportation are expected to slowly increase over the next 10 years while additional openings will occur to replace those experienced individuals who will retire. Several hundred students also are selected for admissions each year to the prestigious United States Merchant Marine Academy.
Work in the water transportation industry can be physically demanding at times, but there also are rewards from working on the water. Earnings vary widely with particular water transportation positions and length of experience. Ships engineers, captains, mates, and pilots all tend to average over $24 per hour, while entry-level sailors and marine oilers usually earn less.
Many of water transportation workers are members of labor unions, with the Seafarers' International Union and International Organization of Masters, Mates, and Pilots among the most predominant.
Four sites have information on water transportation. We highlight the sites and the content we think you'll find useful as you explore your career options in this area of transportation.

archival print of an original painting
16 x 16 inches
edition of 60
Britt grew up north of Atlanta. Her mother, an interior decorator, was a strong influence on Britt's love of color and design. Britt discovered abstract painting towards the end of her undergrad studies. She studied under several inspiring abstract artists, including Erin Mcintosh and Chris Hocking. Britt's work is about process and intuition. She is interested in the juxtaposition of medium, texture, color, and shape. She is ever searching for ways to create subtleties and surprises through fine details and passageways. She feels the work takes on its own life, and the subconscious of the painting and her own intuition mutually guide the process. Through layering, adding and omitting Britt explores this artistic relationship until it culminates into a whole, finished piece. Britt's hope is that the finished piece will be a playful and fun accessory in a child's room, a small pop of color on a bookshelf, or a bright and bold statement piece in living space. She paints what makes her happy, and what, at the given time, inspires her.
