Set in Pittsburgh in the early 1980s, the story chronicles the last true summer of Art Bechstein's youth. Stuck in a dead-end job working for his eccentric sometimes girlfriend Phlox, and forced into an endless series of airless dinners with his mobster father, Art begins to believe that perhaps he doesn't even exist at all. What begins as a mundane summer is quickly interrupted when he encounters a beautiful debutante and her lusty, no good hoodlum of a boyfriend Cleveland. Together they reveal a side of Art and Pittsburgh that he has never known. As the summer boils on and their adventures darken, Art decides to risk everything to preserve his new-found paradise, and thrusts himself headlong into the blurring boundaries of family, friendship and love.

Inside the Nikon 1 factory
Turn over your nearest gadget and there's an excellent chance you'll read "Made in China" on the casing. With labour cheap, resources close at hand, space costs at a minimum and the Chinese currency, the Yuan, kept low, it's not surprising that the world has turned to this powerhouse of Asia to manufacture its goods - something of which America is currently only too aware.
The city of Wuxi (pronounced Woo-She) in the east of the country is typical. Approximately 130km inland from the sprawling streets on steroids that are Shanghai, this flat-plained, purpose-built trade district is home to over 1,500 foreign enterprise operations. Serviced by its own freight airport a matter of minutes from the factory doors and China's second greatest architectural achievement, the Grand Canal, and with no geographical barriers to trouble its growth, it's the ultimate industrial estate. Not a huge surprise, then, that Japanese firm Nikon chose a Wuxi plant to mass produce its most ambitious project in recent times, the Nikon 1 interchangeable lens cameras.
Nikon Wuxi sits on a plot of land that covers over 97,000m² with a factory floor space just over half of that, and inside are masses and masses of China's most important resource - people. Each day, 130 commuter buses ship in an army of 8,292 of them to work one of two 8-hour shifts - day or night - with a civilised enough sounding hour-long lunch and 15 minute break here or there.
Two-lane corridors swarm with the troops each dressed identically, from the plant supervisor to the lowliest of grunts, in loose-fitting, beige safari suits complete with elasticated, transparent, blue, plastic slippers donned at the office door to keep even the tiniest of specs of dust from ruining the glassware and circuitry of the cameras. The only difference between them here or there are their orange, pink or blue hats denoting supervisor or managerial or novice roles from the otherwise baggy peaked caps worn by the overwhelming majority. Bright lights reflect in aluminium-framed work stations and the overhead silver ventilation hoses of the vast shop floors; the effect is something of a Bond villain's lair, only missing mock volcano wallpaper and a monorail.
Eighty per cent of the work force are women - both traditional and typical of factory work in China. They're walked through security at the beginning and end of each day to ensure that no recording devices come in and no sample parts go out. In an area of so much product manufacture and a land where the fakes and copies of the world largely originate, the measures are of little surprise.
Into the changing rooms, past the pigeon holes of rows and rows of identical, ceramic, stein-sized tea mugs - each with its owner's label in red - and the chatter and giggles of the corridors turn to silence the minute each is at their place in the production line, white surgical masks on. No talking, no music, their firm concentration is only punctuated by the sounds of an electronic clock chiming each quarter of an hour with a polyphonic version of Big Ben.
Wuxi is one of six Nikon factories in the world. Sendai and Tochigi in Japan manufacture professional grade DSLRs and the lenses for them. Nikon Thailand is where the consumer DSLRs are put together and the three plants in China are responsible for compacts. Wuxi makes lens units and is where the entire fabrication of the Nikon 1 cameras takes place.
The J1 body consists of 182 parts each moulded, hand painted and assembled in separate sections of the factory, and when we say hand-painted, we mean it. There are workers whose job it is solely to write the white Nikon logo on each and every case with the finest of needle spray pens hooked up to tanks of indelible, oil-based inks. There are even those employed just to dot the shutter release with orange and others to place the single spec of white on the metal lens mount to indicate which way to put your lens glassware. Take a look at your camera now and you'll find a new appreciation of why it cost you a pretty penny.
The higher spec Nikon V1 totals 195 parts, but just as big a part of the operation is the manufacture of the Nikon 1 lenses themselves which take up a huge portion of the plant's resources in their own right. Like the bodies, the plastic of their housing is moulded and painted, but it's the glass that's of paramount importance with each penny-sized lens element passing through five stages of production before coming together in the bayonet units that photographers interchange as they need.
The glass is ground down by the workers with sanding machines on rough spinning mills flushed with water to wash away the shavings and grit. Next these diminutive discs are polished by rotating brushes and then coated by hand to protect the surfaces from damage. The fourth stage is where the elements are all put together :a worker cements and mounts each one on top of the next until the lens unit is in position and the final stage is to house the glass in the usable zoom-controlled attachments which we all take virtually for granted.
At the end of it all, each camera and lens is tested up against a swirling pattern of black and white on contrast sheets glued to the wall, before passing through quality control and packaged into boxes to be shipped off around the world.
It's a highly labour intensive process and one which you might expect to be mechanised elsewhere but, with such a huge work force in China, these feats are the most economic ways of getting the job done even if the sight of workers slumped asleep at the desks for their 15-minute breaks makes you wonder how wearing their occupation might be on the soul.
Although production has only just begun, the Nikon 1 camera project began in 2007 with the aim to create a "camera of best balance" according to the chief designer at Nikon Japan, Masahiro Suzuki. The company has made a conscious decision to concede high-end function for size and speed; the combination of a smaller sensor and powerful processor allowing for fast di-modal focusing over 135/73-points and a camera capable of shooting 30 images in half a second.
Should Nikon have hit it right, there are two more plots on the Wuxi site ready to be built upon which production could increase by 50 per cent on its own, as well as the option of a third 8-hour shift for round the clock activity. One thing for certain is that there'll be more than enough Chinese women to man it.

Pentax K-x DSLR camera
Pentax announced the launch of the K-x digital SLR camera on Thursday morning and by nightfall we'd bagged a model to get down and dirty with.
The new camera, which unfortunately we weren't able to use for any sample shots, is small, solid and light in the hand.
Priced at £600 for the camera and a 18-55mm lens, the K-x is the follow-on model to the K-m, so falls into the entry-level category, and is due to go on sale this month.

Tucson school desegregation consent decree OK'd
TUCSON, Ariz. -- A federal court on Wednesday approved a consent decree to resolve a decades-long battle to end racial disparity in the Tucson Unified School District.
U.S. District Court Judge David Bury in Tucson approved the decree filed by the U.S. Department of Justice, together with private plaintiffs and Pima County's largest school district.
Bury, who is overseeing the district's desegregation effort, approved the Unitary Status Plan and ordered TUSD to begin offering culturally relevant courses next school year.
The desegregation case originally was filed in 1974 with federal authorities intervening two years later.
Class-action lawsuits were filed against the district in 1978 on behalf of black students and Mexican-American students and employees.
Last year, a federal court in Tucson asked the parties to develop a plan to desegregate the district.
After extensive negotiations, the parties jointly submitted the four-year plan requiring the district to provide a high quality educational environment for all students.
The classes, which will focus on the history, experiences and culture of black and Latino communities, are one of many provisions in a plan that aims to bring racial balance to TUSD schools.
The plan focuses on eliminating vestiges of past discrimination to the extent practicable in the areas of discipline, student assignment, school operations- which includes faculty, staff, transportation, extracurricular activities and facilities- and the quality of education being offered to minority students.
The plan was put together by Special Master Willis Hawley, an expert on race relations and academic achievement.

West Branch International Music Festival & Academy
Dear Friends:
For the past 12 years, I?ve been captivated by the incredible beauty of the five world class trout rivers nestled in the valleys of these magnificent Catskill Mountains. Throughout history composers and performing artists alike have drawn some of their greatest inspiration from environments such as these. Even in my own lifetime my summer musical experiences were inextricably associated with beautiful locations including Aspen, the Adirondacks, and the Alps. The desire to create an enclave for artists and a series of concerts was a direct outgrowth of that synergy between nature and the creative process.
So, in 2009 my friend, Matt Batschelet, General Manager of the West Branch Resort, and I took the plunge into inaugurating the West Branch International Music Festival with a series of two concerts. The next step was easy, as I have over the years enjoyed collaboration with some of the best chamber music colleagues anyone can hope for. In no time, nine distinguished artists were signed on and in the process for preparing the inaugural season began. As 2009 was the bicentennial of Mendelssohn?s birth, his music featured heavily on our programming. The response from the community and the attending artists was overwhelming. But, for me, an important element of the festival was missing. Partnering with and mentoring of young talent has always been extremely important to me, and an extremely important part of my musical life and that of my colleagues. We felt a broader mission to include a high-level training program and academy with a low student to teacher ratio would suit this need. The addition of the academy, transforming the West Branch International Music Festival to the West Branch International Music Festival and Academy would provide additional exciting young artist performances and fulfill artists? obligation to pass on the traditions of western classical music to new generations. As the festival and academy develop it is our further hope to introduce other disciplines and forms including Jazz, Blue Grass, Country and more.
Please explore the festival gallery to view concerts, artists, photos, and testimonials from 2009.
I hope you enjoy this years musical offerings!
Musically Yours,

Midwest Living Review
In as little as one weekend, you can learn to sail at Milwaukee Community Sailing Center. Before you breeze out on the water, you'll start in the classroom, with an introduction to sailing terms, plus advice on how to dress and what gear to bring. One handy tip we learned: Wear gloves ("Thirty feet of line can go through your hands in 3-4 seconds.") You'll also learn what gybing, tacking and luffing are, as well as practice tying seaworthy knots. And that's all before you even step on a boat. When you do though (after only a couple of hours), you'll get right to work rigging and derigging (putting up and taking down the sails) at the dock. The first few launches are done with an experienced sailor on board, and then teams of two students practice sailing. By the time the course is complete, students know the lingo and are prepared to rig, sail and dock, plus rescue a crew member who's gone overboard. Adult, youth and women-only classes are offered, and class sizes are kept small (14 students max), so there's lots of student-instructor interaction.

Adding extra warmth to a LW sleeping bag to extend its use into colder weather Very light weight but very slim cut won't fit big people but adds a real 5 to 10 degrees to any sleeping bag depending on your metabolism The good point s first Like most MB gear it is well made and the design is well thought out It isn't expensive and it is an excellent idea for those who do not have enough money to buy a warmer sleeping bag and who want to camp in cooler conditions. The short zipper makes access easy… Full review
Sea to Summit Reactor Extreme Thermolite Liner
Provides a 7-9° F increase inside the bag. For the size and weight, I would recommend it as a comfort item, if you can fit it into your budget. I was very skeptical about the +25 degrees claim of the Thermolite Reactor Extreme so, I set up this little experiment to see just how well the liner worked. Because sleeping comfort is such a personal thing, I will try and provide as much information here as possible so that you can make your own informed decision. I used a sleeping bag rated at the current… Full review
Sea to Summit Reactor Extreme Thermolite Liner
Don't count on this liner for an additional 25 degrees of warmth, or even 15 degrees. Very disappointed in this liner. I had my 30-degree bag and knew I'd be on the borderline temp wise. I'm a cold sleeper, and was excited to try this out. There is no way this 'increases warmth by up to 25 degrees." Thankfully at the last minute tossed my fleece bag liner in the car. At 3 a.m. I finally gave up on the Reactor and switched to the fleece — and slept toasty warm for the rest of the night. I was surprised… Full review
Sea to Summit Reactor Thermolite Liner
Who doesn't want to push their gear a little without having to purchase another sleeping bag? Adding 15° to your setup just may keep you from adding another bag. If that's your goal and you want an additional warm weather option you might think the Reactor will work for you. In my experience the Reactor falls well short of the advertised performance. Being a budget conscious guy I really wanted the Reactor to work to extend my hammock TQ to the 20's and give me a stand-alone option in the 60s,… Full review
Columbia Omni-Heat Sleeping Bag Liner
Magical little silver dots in a lightweight package in a 10 oz. large grapefruit package promise added warmth. And those little silver dots pretty much deliver as advertised. In my last overnighter I was comfortable at 55° using a 40° under quilt in my hammock. After a little experimentation I'm pretty convinced that those little silver dots are a welcome addition to the bag liner. I really hate to perspire while I sleep. It makes for a long night that usually ends around 4:30 for me and makes… Full review
Sea to Summit Reactor Thermolite Liner
Warm bag liner for backpacking or traveling. I like this bag liner. It's tough and it's warm. I have used this on many occasions, and it has definitely extended my sleeping bag's comfort zone well into the shoulder seasons. It also makes ventilation easier in a sleeping bag: with this on, you can unzip the bag a little more to get air, without also getting a chill. One of my few complaints about it are that the material gets along too well with baselayers. It slides easily around inside the bag,… Full review
Coleman Stratus Fleece Liner
This liner will add warmth to your sleeping bag without breaking the bank. Unzipped, it can also serve as a blanket. Nothing special here — it just gets the job done. I have had this fleece sleeping bag for over a year now. I originally got it because I don't have a winter sleeping bag, and so I wanted to make my current three-season bag warmer for a winter camping trip. This has turned out to be a pretty good purchase for me, as I've used it for more than just winter camping. Let's start with… Full review
The North Face Liner Bag
OK, so this liner holds your core heat in and keeps the dreaded cold drafts out. I live on the Gasconade River in Pulaski County, Missouri. On my property we camp out a lot near the river. The temperature drops 7 to 9 degrees lower near the water's edge, so packing the right gear is a must for comfort and safety. Protecting your core is a must. Maintaing your body heat can make the difference in an OK overnighter or a great comfortable warm night's sleep. It sucks to be cold, so listen: buy this… Full review
Equinox Vapor Barrier Liner
This product is well constructed and performs extremely well. It is lightweight and well worth the additional weight in the winter setting. I have ventured into winter backpacking and after my first three-day trip and an extra 10 pounds to my pack gained from my sleeping bag a barrier was in order. Originally going to make one, but this one made of the same material I had gotten design for and I could not make it for that price. Well constructed and keep my bag dry and keeps me dry and warm.

We've raised global awareness about the dangers of Arctic oil drilling, climbed oil rigs to obstruct operations, mobilized nearly three million people and celebrated as major oil companies backed off plans to drill in the Arctic. View a timeline of our campaign. We won't stop until the Arctic is declared a global sancuary.
In 2012, six Greenpeace International activists, including Greenpeace International Executive Director Kumi Naidoo, climbed a rig belonging to Gazprom, a Russian oil company.
"We can't match Shell's enormous financial muscle, but we have creativity and millions of people behind us. This is the defining environmental battle of our time and we have only just begun." -Kumi Naidoo, Greenpeace International Executive Director
Many of us may never get the chance to travel to the top of the world. Yet similar to the places often unseen, the Arctic needs our help. During our most recent Arctic excursion, a crewmember called the Arctic a "big air conditioner."That's because the sea ice in the Arctic regulates our global climate by reflecting sunlight. That ice is melting at a rapid rate meaning the ocean absorbs the sunlight resulting in a warmer earth. This of course causes more sea ice to melt. Sounds like a vicious cycle, huh?
Not only does the Arctic work to regulate the global climate, it's also home to a rich ecosystem and indigenous people who depend on that ecosystem. Polar bears, seals, walruses and whales are just some of the species that call the Arctic home. And it's all in danger.
Oil companies are eager to profit from the melting sea ice by drilling in the Arctic. While the entire oil industry is looking to move into the Arctic, Shell is leading the way. Yet they have proven several times that there are in no way Arctic ready with various mishaps including a rig on the loose and a fire aboard their drill ship The Noble Discoverer.
Despite their very public and very embarassing mistakes, Shell is determined to profit from the Arctic, groundzero of global warming. They're planning to drill in the same spot where Greenpeace and University of Alaska scientist Kelley Newman discovered coral, recorded orca whale calls and talked to the amazing people of Point Hope, Alaska.
Nevermind that Shell's plans to drill for oil contribute to the vicious cycle of global warming. The climate in the Arctic can be severe and unpredictable making an oil spill likely-and catastrophic. You would think the Arctic Council, an intergovernmental body of Arctic governments and citizens, would have a solid spill-response plan to prepare for this likely occurence. We were pretty shocked to read in a leaked draft that the Council had no real plan established in the likely case of a spill.
In addition to the new threat from Shell, the Russian oil industry spills 30 million barrels of oil each year. That's seven times the amount that escaped during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Every 18 months, more than 4 billion barrels spews into the Arctic.

text: I have owned the domain name littleneutrino.com (as well as a few others) for rather some time now. However, in the past i have put blogs and things in subdomains to it however, never found a proper use for the domain itself. It has always just gone to a google search page when accessed directly. I do not have a lot of storage so image hosting is out of the questions. and even though I like to pretend I am not a web developer I can make a nice small CMS that handles a very basic blog but thats it. I just do not want the domain to go to waste. Right now the most useful function of the website is to generate my signature image that contains my latest tweets.

Karen Goss is not a desperate housewife. She's a computer teacher at Hamilton Elementary School in Pasadena. It's a career that, for all its rewards, comes with its fair share of desperate moments.
Teachers spend an average of $1,200 of their own money each year for classroom supplies, according to the National Education Association.
But, this week, Goss got lucky. She was one of more than 1,100 teachers across the country to each receive $1,000 in school supplies as part of "A Day Made Better," a campaign by Adopt-A-Classroom and OfficeMax to draw attention to teacher-funded classrooms.
The non-profit Adopt-A-Classroom helped identify needy schools, and principals at each school nominated an exemplary teacher to receive the donation of supplies.
Oh, did we mention James Denton was there? Just sort of sweetens the deal, doesn't it?
Check out Adopt-A-Classroom to see what Pasadena-area school programs are still in dire need of resources. You can search by city, by district, and for both public and private schools.

Q:So I color my hair about every six weeks. I read that this shampoo bar might strip my hair color. Is this true? Will it strip my hair color, considering I do wash my hair daily??Asked on 6/3/2015 by meaghan
3 answers
A:I can't speak for "everyone" but this bar does not strip my color!!!! I use it at least 3 times a week, alternating with the liquid Honey shampoo and the Copperhead solid bar. I also use the Rehab conditioner and the American Cream. I think the reason some might say it "strips" your color is because it encourages growth and your roots may show a little sooner. My hairdresser says it really makes a difference in the overall health of my hair. He has seen it when I used department store products and then when I switched to Lush and he says it is SSSOOO worth it!Answered on 6/4/2015 by Anonymous
A:This shampoo bar is not known to strip hair colour, but it can contribute to hair growth, making your roots come in a bit sooner!Answered on 6/7/2015 by Anonymous
A:This is a question I can't answer. It's never done anything to my color, but I don't wash my hair every day, and she shouldn't be either. Any shampoo will effect the color if you wash your hair every day.

A:Our NEW! shampoo bar is more focused on stimulating your scalp and helps promote hair growth. I would focus more on clarifying shampoos that are packed with fruit/citrus enzyme or sea salt that would help strip away the color like our I Love Juicy shampoo!Answered on 5/27/2015 by Anonymous
Q:How long will this bar last? What can I do to make sure that it doesn't disintegrate?Asked on 5/17/2015 by Claire bear from Paris France
2 answers
A:I can't accurately answer how long it will last because I alternate it with one other solid shampoo and a liquid shampoo, but to keep it from disintegrating, I keep mine in one of the tin travel holders at the back of my shower on a high shelf. After I use it I just shake it a bit and put it in there. Hope this helps!Answered on 5/20/2015 by Anonymous
A:Our shampoo bars last up to 80 washes depending on how much you are using each time and how the bar is being stored. It is important to keep the bars dry between uses either in a shampoo bar tin, or in a self-draining soap dish where water cannot get at it when it isn't being used.Answered on 5/19/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

Q:i am in love with your products but i wonder why you are still using sodium lauryl sulfate in your products??Asked on 3/15/2015 by ali
1 answer
A:Great question! Sodium Lauryl Sulphate has been the topic of debate for a while now and we recognize that it is a customer concern. The thing to remember is that Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) has a long standing history of being a safe alternative to soap. We at LUSH don't use ingredient alternatives that haven't been proven to be safe for a long period of time. There is a great article on our website called "Don't stress about SLS" that I recommend you check out for more information. This article is also available in our freshest catalog.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Alexander from LUSH Direct
Q:Is this bar okay to use on dry scalps with light dandruff?Asked on 2/18/2015 by lydia.anne
5 answers
A:NEW! is a very stimulating shampoo bar with all of the cinnamon and peppermint in there to help with hair growth at the root. If your looking for relief from dandruff or flakey scalp, I usually recommend Jumping Juniper because of the Juniperberry Oil that helps remove dry skin. Lullaby would be a great alternative as well, it's calming Oat Milk will soother the scalp and hopefully quell the problem at the source.Answered on 3/21/2015 by Alexander from LUSH Direct
A:I also have dry scalp w/minimal dandruff but I have found this bar is wonderful for dry iitchy scalp and I don't have flakes. I certainly give it a thumbs up!Answered on 2/21/2015 by Anonymous
A:Most of the complaints seem to be that this bar is too drying, if you have dry/irritated scalp the Lullaby shampoo bar should be more effective.Answered on 2/18/2015 by Anonymous
A:This one is really stimulating and it might be to much for your scalp. I would try the other shampoo bar lullaby it has oat milk which is really calming and soothing for the scalp. And if your really in need for a hair treatment I would get roots! I love it and it keeps my scalp in tip top shape! ;) hope this helped happy shopping!
Thank you.

Q:I want to get the Hair Doctor treatment for my boyfriend, who has exzema on his scalp, causing red, rough patches of dry skin. Would this work well with the Hair Doctor treatment for his dry scalp and dandruff?Asked on 2/12/2015 by Ami from Topeka, KS
2 answers
A:Hair Doctor is a great option to help deal with those scalp issues! It's packed with chamomile oil, which will help with soothing the sore, sensitive areas of the scalp. Fuller's earth will help with help remove any buildup on the scalp as well, helping to clarify while the peppermint oil refreshes and invigorates. Hair Doctor also has extra virgin coconut oil in it, which can help reduce the symptoms associated with and eczema, because it helps to balance out the skin and scalp, as well as moisturize the dryer areas. All in all, Hair Doctor will help to clarify and balance the scalp, helping you to feel fresh and clean!Answered on 2/12/2015 by Meg from LUSH Direct

Q:Is this product gluten free?Asked on 1/1/2015 by Busy Little Bee from Portland, Oregon
2 answers
A:NEW! doesn't contain any ingredients that contain gluten, however, it is made in a facility that does contain gluten. If you have a severe allergy we probably wouldn't recommend using it, as there is always a slight chance of cross-contamination.Answered on 2/13/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

1 answer
A:NEW! shampoo bar is invigorating and the rosemary and peppermint oils can stimulate hair growth! Any of our products can be used during pregnancy, so long as your doctor hasn't advised you to avoid specific ingredients or materials. I'd recommend checking with your doctor as to whether there are any particular ingredients she or he would advise you to avoid, as each person is different.Answered on 11/26/2014 by Haley from LUSH Direct

A:I have not noticed any new hair growth. I have been using this product for
2 years now. even though I haven't seen any new hair growth I haven't lost

A:We don't really have any conditioners with a similar scent to NEW! so it is best to base your choice on what will work best for your hair. That being said, Retread is a little bit lighter, scent wise, so it might be a nice compliment to NEW! , which is a little bit stronger of a fragrance.Answered on 9/25/2014 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
A:I think you should go for the American Cream Conditioner, I agree that the Veganese conditioner would not compliment the NEW! bar much.Answered on 8/24/2014 by The_Ruch_A_Nator from Coalinga, CA

Q:What's the best way to store the bar so it lasts the longest/is easily accessible in the shower?Asked on 9/25/2013 by Brynn from Portland, OR
3 answers
A:I break up the bar into 4 pieces. Each piece lasts me about 1 month and I store it in the tin Lush sells. I place the piece I use in the shower in a shallow dish on top a cap from a water bottle. This allows any water to drip below the bar and dry between uses. The bowl catches the drippings for easy cleaning otherwise my shower ledge would be red from the lather. I've been doing this for about a year now and it works really well.Answered on 2/25/2014 by Rosie from San Antonio, TX
A:The best way to store the bar is to keep it in a dry location out of any sunlight. I would suggest purchasing our shampoo bar tins as it stores it safely!Answered on 12/8/2013 by Anonymous
A:I keep my bar stored on a soap ledge in the back of the shower out of the water. If you don't have a ledge in a dry spot, you could always buy a wire soap dish with suction cups. I have seen them at Target before.

Q:Does this product help with hereditary hair loss?Asked on 6/1/2013 by Alise Michelle
2 answers
A:New! is meant to help with hair loss of any kind as it works to stimulate the scalp and follicles, which promote new hair growth.Answered on 10/2/2013 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
A:Being the child of a mother and father who have pretty thin hair, I know how you feel. For me, NEW! worked EXTREMELY well! I've only been using it for a week and I'm pretty sure it's going to be a bit longer before I see evidence of hair growth but I know for sure that it's made my hair LOOK thicker and even feel thicker. It gives great volume, makes your hair shiny, and even smells great! Although I would recommend accompanying NEW! with a hydrating conditioner as it does tend to dry my hair out although my hair is usually extremely oily so it balances my hair out perfectly!Answered on 7/30/2013 by LUSH Luver from Florida
Q:I thought that Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is not a very healthy ingredient to be using on your skin? I've read that it is just an irritant and only used as a deep cleaning/foaming agent. I see that its in more products than just this one. I really want to use these shampoo bars, as i'm sure they are amazing, but the SLS worries me. Could someone tell me why it's used and if I just have the wrong information on this ingredient?Asked on 5/14/2013 by Just Wondering
1 answer
A:Sodium lauryl sulfate is a surfactant, which can create quite a rich foam in certain concentrations, and has a long history of safe use. Its combination of water-soluble and oil-soluble properties allow the product containing it to bond with any oils present. This purpose is especially useful in our hair treatments, hair conditioners, and other products that are meant to be washed out, as it helps the product to rinse out without leaving product residue. In short, we use it to create lather, as well as to clean the hair!Answered on 9/26/2013 by Brandy from LUSH

Still Think You Can't Do Real Work On The iPad? A Lot Has Changed Since 2010
This story first appeared in Cult of Mac Magazine.
Back when I worked exclusively on my iPad, writing posts for Cult of Mac and everything related to that, I had a hell of a time getting some things done. It seemed like every tiny step needed to be researched before I could get anything done.
In the end, I quit and went back to a split iPad/iMac setup, but not for the reasons you might think.

Batch a finalist for Byron "Whizzer" White AwardPosted by on January 23, 2013 – 4:02 pm
Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch is a finalist for the Byron "Whizzer" White Award, an honor given by the NFL Players Association to a player for their work in the community.
"It's humbling," said Batch. "To be a finalist for the highest award you can receive from the NFLPA is special. To be considered one of those guys is special."
Batch started his Best of the Batch Foundation 12 years ago, serving those in the Pittsburgh area, including Homestead where he was raised. The foundation provides an array of services, from computer literacy programs to summer basketball leagues.
"I am blessed to play here for this organization and be this close to home, allowing me to be hands on with everything I am doing with the foundation and have people believe in me," said Batch. "I can't do this by myself. We go out there and try to change lives and when people see that, it's even more humbling."
Batch has been able to see the impact the foundation has had on kids and looks forward to continuing to develop and grow the foundation.
"A lot of kids started with us when they were seven or eight years old and we see kids graduating from high school and heading off to college," said Batch. "When you see the kids growing up, and them getting the opportunity to go out and live their dreams, that is what we are all about. We want to have them reach beyond their expectations."
Batch is one of five finalists along with Chad Greenway (Minnesota Vikings), Charles Tillman (Chicago Bears), Benjamin Watson (Cleveland Browns) and Jason Witten (Dallas Cowboys). All of the finalists will receive a donation to their charity and the winner, who will be announced by the NFLPA next week in New Orleans, will receive an additional $100,000 donation.

Zagato reveals DBS and DB9 one-offs
Italian coachbuilder gives Aston Martin a pair of very special anniversary presents…
Posted: 22 Jul 2013
Zagato has paid tribute to its long-time friend Aston Martin via the pair of one-offs you see above. Welcome Internet, to a very special 100th anniversary present: the DBS Coupe Zagato Centennial, and the DB9 Spyder Zagato Centennial.
Both were unveiled yesterday to a packed audience at Kensington Park Gardens - a stone's throw away from Aston Martin's actual birthplace way back in 1913 - who flocked to view the very big anniversary garden party commemorating the brand's 100 years in business.
First, the DBS Zagato. It was built for a "young and prestigious Japanese entrepreneur", mixing what Zag tell us is an "exotic cross of Aston Martin DNA with Italian flair and Milanese insipiration". There's a double-bubble roof up top, harking back to the Zagato cars from the 1950s, as well as that new front end and smoother rear tail section.
Zag chief designer Norihiko Harada noted the difficulty in redesigning the DBS, saying that it was "already one of the most beautiful modern sports cars around".
There's no word on mechanical changes, so underneath sits the old 510bhp 6.0-litre V12 from the outgoing DBS, delivering power to the rear wheels in a fury of noise and, erm, some more noise.
Next up is the DB9 Spyder Zagato Centennial, built for American car collector Peter Read. The success of the DB7 Zagato led the team - comprising of Andrea and Marella Zagato, and Read himself - to create the DB9 you see in the pics above. Obviously, gone is the double-bubble roof, replaced by a soft-top, complete with the DB9's 6.0-litre V12.
Says Read: "The Spyder Zagato Centennial perfectly merges Aston Martin and Zagato's DNA by combining the elegance of design, typical of Zagato, with the soul, power and prestige of Aston Martin, all developed over the last 100 years."
Tell us what you think of the cars below - a fine anniversary present? We'll have much more from the Kensington garden party on TG.com, so check back later for more updates...

Unlike Boxer, who always thinks of others, Mollie is a shallow materialist who cares nothing for the struggles of her fellow animals. Her first appearance in the novel suggests her personality when she enters the meeting at the last moment, chewing sugar and sitting in the front so that the others will be able to admire the red ribbons she wears in her mane. Her only concerns about the revolution are ones prompted by her ego: When she asks Snowball if they will still have sugar and ribbons after the rebellion, she betrays the thoughts of old Major and reveals her vanity. She is lulled off the farm by the prospect of more material possessions than she could enjoy in an animal-governed world, marking her as one to whom politics and struggle mean nothing.

Nitrous oxide needs no introduction. Despite the hoards of racers jumping on the forced induction bandwagon, nitrous remains one of the most devastatingly effective and incredibly affordable performance modifications in existence. For a measly $600, a basic nitrous oxide kit can add 150 hp to a typical small-block V-8. That's enough to push a 12-second street car deep into the 11s and potentially into the 10s.
Dollar per dollar, no other performance modification comes close. With the potential for these tremendous performance gains, however, come certain risks. Although nitrous kits are completely safe if installed correctly, the greedy and uninformed racer can get himself into a lot of trouble in a hurry as well. To make sure that doesn't happen, we recently had a chat with Kyle Smith of Nitrous Oxide Systems.
Like Coke and Xerox, the company has been around for so long that "NOS" has evolved into a generic name racers often use to describe all nitrous systems. In addition to offering tips to stay out of trouble, NOS divulged heaps of helpful information for maximizing nitrous performance including what types of fuel to run; whether a plate system or fogger is right for your application, selecting the right pistons and rods for heavy-duty nitrous use, and how to manage power coming out of the hole at the track.
Nitrous Basics
Every hot rodder knows that nitrous oxide injection kits add silly heaps of horsepower for not a lot of money, but why is it so effective? A nitrous oxide molecule contains two parts nitrogen, and one part oxygen. "Nitrous oxide by itself is non-flammable, but when combined with gasoline, its oxygen content accelerates the combustion process and increases horsepower," Kyle explains. Furthermore, the nitrogen content acts as a buffer to dampen and control the combustion of oxygen. Nitrous oxide does not break down into nitrogen and oxygen until it reaches 572 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that it absorbs a tremendous amount of heat from the incoming air charge, reducing inlet air temperature by 60-75 degrees, further increasing power.
Serious Plates
It wasn't too long ago when plate nitrous systems were limited to 300 hp. Thanks to steady improvements in nitrous technology; plate systems can now move 500 hp worth of nitrous to a hungry engine. "The increased horsepower capability of plate nitrous systems in recent years stems from plates being built with multiple sets of spray bars or diffusers combined with larger orifice solenoids. The NOS Big Shot system employs orifices that are strategically placed in the plate for improved atomization and efficient nitrous/fuel mixture distribution," says Kyle. Nitrous Oxide Systems' Double Cross system ups the ante even more with a plate design that incorporates spray bars intersecting at a 90-degree angle. This creates a highly efficient distribution of fuel and nitrous, which is particularly advantageous in engines with intake manifold that have long runners or divided plenums.
Plates vs. Foggers
As its name implies, a plate nitrous system utilizes a plate that bolts between the intake manifold and carburetor to deliver nitrous oxide and fuel into an engine. A direct-port nitrous system, on the other hand, relies on injector nozzles plumbed directly into each individual intake runner. Plate systems are much easier to install, but in the past, were limited to 250-300 hp of nitrous. In contrast, while direct port systems can handle in excess of 600 horsepower of nitrous, they require drilling and tapping the intake manifold for fogger nozzles, and bending up hard lines for both the fuel and nitrous side of the system. Considering the latest crop of plate systems are now capable of adding 500 hp, what are the advantages of a direct-port system? "No matter how big a plate system is, it is never as good a direct-port system," Kyle explains. "A plate system lacks the cylinder to cylinder tuning ability of a direct-port system, and does not distribute the nitrous/fuel mixture as evenly. Likewise, direct-port nozzles put the mixture directly in the path of the intake valve for quicker response on the bottle. This is very important because uneven distribution can load the crankshaft and accelerate engine wear."
Wet or Dry?
In both a plate and direct-port nitrous system, a mixture of nitrous oxide and fuel is injected into incoming air intake charge. As such, they're referred to as wet kits. Conversely, dry nitrous systems inject nitrous oxide only, relying on the factory fuel injectors to provide the additional fuel flow. This is accomplished by applying additional pressure to the factory fuel pressure regulator using the nitrous solenoid, which in turn increases fuel flow. Alternately, the EFI system's computer can be re-tuned to increase fuel flow as well. Since dry systems rely on the factory fuel injectors, whereas wet systems supply their own fuel through a dedicated fuel solenoid, the volume of nitrous they can handle are limited by injector size. However, dry systems offer several advantages. Considering that EFI intake manifolds are not designed to distribute fuel, dry systems are said to distribute nitrous more evenly to the cylinders than a plate system. Dry nitrous systems offer tuning advantages as well. "The biggest advantage of a dry system is that the operator has ultimate control of the fuel delivery at nearly any point in the run. This allows you to lean out or richen up the nitrous/fuel mixture point during a pass at the dragstrip, depending on track conditions," says Kyle.

PANAMA CITY BEACH — It may be cold outside, but businesses across Panama City Beach are thinking ahead to warmer days as they work to fill staff positions for the upcoming tourism season.
"It is absolutely the time that we see a lot of ramping up for the spring season, not just for hospitality, but also in retail, particularly on the beach," said Kim Bodine, executive director of the Gulf Coast Workforce Board.
Many restaurants and resorts will be participating in job fairs over the next several weeks to beef up staff levels following the slow winter season.
Goodwill Industries Big Bend will host its first-ever hospitality-specific job fair today at the Palms Conference Center in Panama City Beach, with 20 employers seeking to fill more than 100 positions.
"There's going to be several employers there with many positions to fill," said Goodwill hospitality trainer Annette Jones. "We're hoping for a really good turnout so these people can get back to work."
Job seekers will have the opportunity to fill out applications and meet managers on site, with interviews also possible, Jones said.
Goodwill launched a hospitality-specific training program in the area about two years ago and will begin offering certification through the nationally recognized American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute next month.
"We've seen a great deal of success," Jones said of the program. "Over 100 people have found jobs and some have even been promoted to management positions. It's been really good for the community."
Hammerhead Fred's restaurant and Bay Point Wyndham Resort will be continuing two-day job fairs today.
Rob Hammer, senior managing partner at Hammerhead Fred's, said the fair is something the restaurant hosts annually to fill staff positions following seasonal closure during the winter months.
"With Hammerhead's, we close about three months out of the year," said Hammer, noting full closure at the restaurant in November and December and during the weekdays in January. "We go back to a full operating schedule come the first of February."
This year the job fair will be more involved, Hammer said, because owners will be staffing the new Front Beach Road Restaurant "Runaway Island" from scratch. The restaurant is currently under construction, with a target opening date set for mid-to-late March.
"It's from the grassroots, so we have to fill positions from wait staff to bartenders to hostesses to bus boys," Hammer said. "Basically, we'll be taking applications and doing pre-screening for potential candidates and conducting interviews. We look for people with a minimum of two years in the hospitality industry."
Overall, Hammerhead's season falls in line with majority of restaurants on the beach.
"Our business picks up the first of March," Hammer said. "It's pockets (of business) until May and then our season ramps up for the summer."
Bodine said the Workforce Center in Panama City has been contacted by several Panama City Beach employers in the last few weeks interested in organizing job fair partnerships. Next month, the center will partner with Pier Park, one of the beach's biggest retailers, to host a job fair with participation open to businesses across the beach.
"It's good for the job seekers because it gives them one place to go to see many different companies," Bodine said.

No need to transfer hot liquid or messy batter ingredients to a large, traditional blender; with the Smart Stick you can blend items right in the pot, glass or mixing bowl. The two-speed, 220-watt motor easily purees soups, mixes pancake batter and blends icy drinks in seconds.
The Smart Stick's ergonomically designed grip makes it comfortable to hold and simple to control while you're blending, and its long stick design easily reaches into any vessel.

I got this quilt back from a shop last week and fell in love with it all over. The quilting is a-maz-ing. I made this out of 2 (ish) layer cakes of Summer House by Moda with the Kaleidoscope pattern. I made the quilt top last spring…then told my local quilter she could do whatever she wanted on it…which I always do…because she's amazing and I can't ever decide.
The back is a pop of color. I really love it…just what I need when its brown and pretty darn ugly outside.
Just for fun if I showed you the un-edited version of that picture you'd see:
the roller coaster set up in my living room. The best $94 Santa ever spent…even if it is loud and I have to step over it everyday…best...toy…ever.
