This is the new and improved version of my Mark I Origional Beer Can Jet Engine. It has a far more severe throat in the air intake to aid compression, a new power suply that is variable and works of mains electricity (instead of a complex power pack) and an inline fuel injection system that opposes the direction of air to improve the fuel-air mixture.
The results were mixed, it wasnt the massive improvement in performance i was expecting but i am pleased that it wasnt a complete failure, i have learned alot about the construction and opperation during my investigation and experimentation and hopefully in the Mark III Engine the culmination of the two builds with result in one engine of definably superior performance.
Visit my website for more information and other similar builds: Letsbuildone.110mb.com
Step 1: Gather the materials and tools you will need
@ At least 4 Steel cans, specifically the taller ones and bigger ones are better.
@ Copper tubing, i used half inch diameter plumbing tubing i had in the garage for its rigidity as this will hold your engine together.
@ Some flexible plastic fuel hosing long enough for you to be comfortably far enough from a running miniature jet engine, 3m did me, I got some from my local model shop used for nitro cars.
@ An old hair dryer or other air moving device, leaf blower could work, or a ducted fan/propeller.
@ A variable resistor or potentiometer, I used a dimmer switch of a house light switch in series with the mains power pack.
@ A length of wire as long as your rubber hosing at least, two wires needed to power electric motor for your fan.
@ Really small drill bits and a drill, 1mm or less for fuel nozzles.
@ Tape, adhesives and solder would be helpful.
@ Insulation tape
@A solid piece of aluminium at least 2.5cm diameter, cylindrical, aluminium to save weight and you want it to be up to say around 10cm long to improve fluid dynamics and less than around 5cm diameter. this will be the fuel injector and it will also double up to throttle the air flow to increase compression.
Tools Required:
@ Sand Paper, to smooth and remove paint.
@ Soldering Iron possibly to solder the powerpack.
@ Possibly a screw driver for any choca blocks.
@ Drill to drill fuel nossles with.
@ Sharp knife for cutting cans, tape and general use.
@ Scissors for cans tape and general use.
@ Pliers
@ Relevant Safety equipment, gloves, goggles, fire extinguisher and COMMON SENSE.
@Laithe to turn the aluminium. you may be able to use a clamped drill but be very carefull and use your college or schools laithe if possable as then you can be supervised by trained staff while it is in use.
@Assorted cutting bits, files, wire brushes, and other abrasives to
I am going to make this soon but I would just like to ask whether you need a fan or can you work without it ?
Im going to try to make this today but am going to try to have the power controlled by a raspberry pi and control the pi via local server. The only thing I wouldn't know were to find is the aluminum fuel nosel.
I'm going to use a s- force fan that spins upto 40,000 rpm and they can lift there self off the ground does anyone have any views on it.
reply soon!!!
You may also find that it moves air faster than the burn rate of the fuel so the flame front won't maintain in the combustion chamber so you may need to use a flame tube to slow the airflow from the fan enough to maintain the combustion. This is simply a steel tube you squirt the fuel into with holes around the outside to regulate the air flow. If you google "Flame Tube" you should find several examples.
Other than that, cool engine.
I am from india and made an rc plane in brussels, I make rc planes, rc trucks, rc sidecar and rc speed boats I wanted to make something new so i thought to make an jet engine. Can you please tell me how to build it , Can I use iron (mosquito spray )cans, I used a hairdryer deduct fan and a rc helicopter motor.Can you tell me the what to do in the step 5 (fuel injectors).Please reply me as fasty you can . Please please please help help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ducted fan and heli motor will work great. so will the mosquito can. make sure it is COMPLETELY empty before you think about opining it though and wash it thoroughly as the contents were poisonous.
Good luck :)
Thanks for a quick reply.About your engine my friend (the one who helped me in my projects and the owner of avionic modelsime in brussels www.shop.avionic.be) sebastien maes thinks that the engine may burst on this temp. after a few seconds.And about the hairdryer fan he said it wont work . He told me to use a stainless steel can.And to use an edf fan.About the fuel it may explode so we may use kerosene. He told me that he can ask anyone to make an lathe fuel injector.He want the plans for it can you send me them on my email- email@example.com , and if you want to make an engine which may produce a lot of thrust and work for a lot of time you can follow these steps :) Can you please send me some pdf on my email as I cannot be a member on this website as my mom won't allow me. :)
Don't use the fuel injector from this engine, it is heavy and didn't work well. Use the one off the mark I engine. That worked well.
An EDF we will work much better than a hair drier, if you have one, use it.
You can use kerosene but you will need atomising fuel injectors and a fuel pump. This is much more complex than using pre pressurised gaseous butane.
If you still want the CAD I can send it you but the mark I solution is much better.
Thanks again for a quick reply.About the fuel injector i will ask Sebastien maes and see what will he say.What can we do to increase the thrust? About the butane gas he said it is dangerous to use it and it may burst and harm us.Can you send me the pdf for this engine? Which engine worked better- mark1 or mark2 ?
You can also increase thrust by increasing the power of the fan, the amount of fuel burnt and the temperature at which it is burnt.
If you use butane you should use a nice long delivery hose. The first time you use it, it will flush the air out of the hose leaving only butane. Without oxygen the butane cannot burn so your butane canister can be remote from your engine and it will be relatively safe to use.
The mark one engine was significantly better than the mark two. Mainly because of the fuel injector, it was heavy and didn't work particularly well.
I am e-mailing you the pdf's now
Also, whether or not mine works or fails horribly, I had a great idea for the next one. First, I want to make it bigger, easier to work on, second I want 2 to 4 Fuel Injectors from a car that I can use to inject gasoline or other liquid into the combustion chamber and last, I want to get a machine shop to make some parts so they are perfect. I think this would step it up even more and produce something that would work without a problem.
Will it work if I used a Desktop Computer Fan instead? I'm not sure, I'll rip out my old desktop soon, I'm not sure it can give enough trust.
What can I use ask the sparker which lights the gas in the compression chamber?
Sorry but a PC fan won't have enough thrust. You can try over volting a rather powerful one though and see what happens.
There is no sparkler in the combustion chamber, I ignite it with a blowtorch. Now you mention it a sparkler would be perfect. Anything where there is fire on the end of a stick in general.
Will this generate enough thrust to push an RC Car or something?
Maybe it would have more thrust if the gas was ignited in the combustion chamber, instead of outside it?

Driver Eric McClure was reported to be in stable condition and alert Sunday, one day after a late wreck in the Nationwide Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.
McClure was transported to an Alabama hospital by helicopter, but NASCAR officials said he was awake and speaking to medical personnel at that time. He was continuing to undergo tests Sunday at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, a team spokesperson said.
The multi-car accident brought out a 19-minute red flag, after which Joey Logano nipped Kyle Busch at the finish line for the victory. Michael Annett appeared to be turned into Brad Keselowski, and cars began spinning all over the track.
McClure's No. 14 Toyota darted head-first at high speed into the inside wall of Turn 3. The car's roof had to be cut and peeled back for McClure to be removed.

"The last time we did this, you had kind of the same process, and it blew up," Jones-Sawyer told the board. "You've definitely done the same thing again."
Renata Simril, a Science Center board member who helped broker the deal with USC, defended the pact as one that would ensure that the university steps into the role of the Coliseum Commission and pays at least $70 million in renovations to the 90-year-old stadium.
"This is not about USC taking over Exposition Park," Simril said.
The issue of potential conflicts of interest by Science Center board members was raised by Christy Seki, a Science Center foundation grant writer, who told the board that any conflicts need to be made "available to the public."
Simril has been criticized for her time as a manager for a commercial real estate services firm that advised USC. Another Science Center board member, Robert Stein, wrote Simril in an email that "I am concerned that given [your] past real estate involvement with USC, that your judgment is flawed and decisions are misguided."
Simril, now a Dodgers vice president, declined to elaborate about the exchange.
Melissa Figueroa, a spokeswoman for the state agency that oversees the Science Center, said Simril did not work with USC while she was at the real estate services firm and called questions about it "another misguided attempt to distract from the merits of the deal."
A number of Trojans fans voiced support for the pact. "It would be a tragedy for such a wonderful structure to wither due to the lack of Coliseum Commission resources, and it should be restored to its deserved status," said Amy Ross, a Silver Lake resident.
Melody Nishida of Culver City, who is on a USC Athletics advisory board, said parking guarantees were needed by USC in return for its investment promise.
"Los Angeles unfortunately is still a car-centric city, and parking is truly a precious commodity," Nishida said. "With the financial commitment from the university, this crown jewel of Los Angeles will be the envy of universities and colleges throughout the country."

LED Light Facials are all the Rage - Why are They in Such High Demand? - Page 2
This type of facial doesn't take long to implement (9-18 minutes) so it is perfect for anyone, including those on the go and those with busy schedules. It's a relaxing and soothing way to support your skin, helping it look more radiant and youthful without the annoyance or inconvenience that many other treatments can inflict.
When looking for an LED light facial be sure to do your homework and ask what the wavelength nanometer range is (red 630-660nm and infrared 880nm), if the unit has been FDA approved, and whether the peptide serum was designed explicitly for use with an LED light therapy system. The DPL Therapy System and the Deep Penetrating Serum meet these specifications and will provide the healing, repairing, and stimulation that your skin craves to look flawless.

I firmly believe the key to better barefooting is a concrete three-point stance. It's especially important for footers who are struggling with a deepwater start, tumble turn or riding away from a flip.
So instead of going out and trying to work on your tricks, I suggest next time out, you work on perfecting this critical three-point position that will make all of your tricks easier.
In good barefooting position, crouch to lower your body into the classic three-point stance .
1: Bend your knees and compress straight down, with your feet slightly wider than your hips. In essence, you're lowering your butt to the water. Keep your arms relaxed and be sure not to lean back. Bring your feet back toward your butt as you lower yourself to the water. Your knees should almost be touching and your feet should be wide – they must not be in the same line as your butt.
2: Once you are sitting and stable in the three-point position, lift your feet off the water and just ride on your butt. Rock your upper body back and slide the handle into your waist. As you lie back, your feet should slide off the water and in front of you.
3: At this point, the handle should be tight into your waist, your feet in the air and your upper body back slightly. If you lean back too much, you'll bounce. You should be on your tailbone.
4: Now reverse the process and get back up into barefooting position. Repeat this several times. It's a great abdominal and leg exercise too.

Nutsie brings iTunes to Android via the cloud
Version 3.0 of Nutsie, a mobile application soon coming to Android phones, is more than an anagram for iTunes.
As I watched Melodeo engineering Vice President Bob Wise demonstrate the new Nutsie on a Motorola Droid at the company's Seattle office on Monday, I had to wonder why Google doesn't have its own Nutsie-like app.
The basic idea behind the current version of Nutsie is simple: you have a bunch of songs stored in iTunes on your computer that you'd like on your phone, but you don't want to buy an Apple iPhone (perhaps because of AT&T). … Read more

I do wonder though if my actions have anything to do with the large amounts of alcohol I have consumed today.

The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.
Malcolm Gladwell's highly imaginative pop treatise on the flow of goods and ideas in society reached a tipping point of its own, spending many weeks on the New York Times best-seller list , and then appearing for weeks on both lists following its paperback publication.
Proposing a contagion model, in which things spread through the population like viruses, Gladwell examines a range of phenomena--the sudden and unexpected popularity of Hush Puppies in the fashion world, the decline in the crime rate in New York City, how a book (THE YA-YA SISTERHOOD) became a bestseller out of the blue, a spike in youth suicide rates in Malaysia--teasing out the cause and logic, and showing how they all had a "tipping point" and how they illustrate one of three basic principles. He cites sometimes arcanely sourced studies to support his theories, and along the way has popularized terms such as "word-of-mouth marketing" and "stickiness." THE TIPPING POINT has changed the way we look at and talk about "stuff," and Gladwell's ideas have energized fields such as business, marketing, education, and sociology.

We present a case in which a thoracocervical epidural blood patch was used to treat an anteriorly situated cerebrospinal fluid leak following 2 failed blood patches in the lumbar region. The challenge in identifying the source of the leak, deteriorating health of the patient, and risks from the procedure, contributes to the uniqueness of this case.

What kind of ignition does yours have? If it has the old points like in the 1970's, you might be OK, but i would bet electronic ignition controls will be the problem.

If it has a distributor cap it has points. Replace those and the coil and you are back on the road. If the wires come directly out of the engine it has pickup coils and magnets in the flywheel like a lawnmower or weedeater. Replace the pickup coils and you are back on the road. If you want to know what points are find an old early 70's car or truck and take the distributor cap off. At the base of the distributor you'll see 2 "claw" looking pinchers with contact pads. They open and close to allow juice to flow to the spark plug. It's just a mechanical spark control module.

The ''Look at All This Weird Stuff'' approach:
I knew that our experiment in contemporary art appreciation was working out when my 6-year-old-daughter, confronted with ''Vermin Death Stack,'' a pile of resin casts of mouse corpses shaped into a huge cone, yawned with the insouciance of someone who has seen it all.
It was toward the end of our visit to the Saatchi Gallery, the showcase for the idiosyncratic contemporary art collection of Charles Saatchi, the advertising mogul whose eye for the new catapulted Young British Artists like Damien Hirst and Tracy Emin onto the world stage. Many of the pieces that became iconic images of the 80's and 90's are on display here.
Both the 6-year-old, Alice, and her sister, 4-year-old Isobel, were skeptical, having had bad experiences at non-dinocentric tourist attractions in the past. Nor did the museum, whose works cheerfully address issues like death, decay and nudity, often all at once, appear to be a natural destination for two young children (or necessarily for their 39-year-old mother).
But some of the pieces are very funny, and others are simply weird, with myriad pedagogic possibilities: The chance to lecture about how art can be made out of anything, even hundreds of cigarette butts displayed in a giant ashtray as in the Hirst piece "Horror at Home." The chance to discuss deeper meanings in everyday objects! The chance to educate by stealth! And, failing that, the chance to take the children to a legitimate center of culture that would not bore them to distraction.
''Isobel, come and see the inside of a cow!'' Alice shouted in horrified delight at her sister as we happened upon one of the first pieces, Mr. Hirst's "Some Comfort Gained From the Acceptance of the Inherent Lies in Everything." This installation showed a dead cow neatly sliced into pieces, like a salami, with each piece housed in a see-through case for maximum viewing of unappealing viscera.
''Poor cow,'' Isobel said.
I made some efforts to explain how the cow most certainly had died of old age and in any case had not felt a thing, but they were having none of it.
''Look at the fat!'' said Alice, fascinated. ''That's what we eat.''
''The poor cow died,'' Isobel said.
We moved on to some more works: Mr. Hirst's installation of a computer, desk and dental-exam chair, covered in water in which swim dozens of huge fish (''Love Lost''); some paintings of Henry VIII and his wives designed to look like photographs; a notorious piece by Jake and Dinos Chapman depicting a group of large naked plastic dolls with some body parts ripped off, others stuck on in anomalous places, and limbs grotesquely intertwined together in some sort of tree ("Great Deeds Against the Dead"). The girls were unfazed by this work, which caused a storm of protest when it was first displayed several years ago.
''They're climbing those trees,'' Isobel said. ''They should know better!''
The museum was a success, with a bit of everything: some pretty pieces, some provocative ones, some amusing ones, some that they could probably have created themselves; plenty to talk about.
By and large, the things that might have been upsetting washed over Alice and Isobel's heads, proving once again that children have far better internal editing devices than we give them credit for: they take in what they're ready for.
The girls were particularly struck by the installation showing Tracy Emin's grungy unmade bed, with the detritus of her life strewn around: dirty clothes, dirty condoms, dirty tissues, old vodka bottles (''My Bed''). It seemed to go against the principles of neatness that we try to instill at home.
''Oh, there's a doggy!'' said Isobel, spotting an old stuffed toy strewn near some old underpants on the floor next to the bed.
Alice laughed. ''It's a bit messy, don't you think?''

UPDATE 2-Egypt to send economic plan to parliament in days-minister
- Tweet
- Share this
* Talks on IMF loan suspended in December
* IMF delegation invite expected within two weeks
* Cutting subsidies sensitive ahead of elections
CAIRO, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Egypt will send a new economic plan needed to secure a lifeline from the International Monetary Fund to parliament within two days after releasing a summary that makes no mention of cutting subsidies and other politically-sensitive measures.
Cairo is trying to secure a $4.8 billion IMF loan to shore up its finances as the economy faces a deep crisis rooted in two years of political turmoil that have drained foreign currency reserves to a critical level.
The turmoil has driven away foreign investors and tourists who are a major source of the foreign currency Egypt needs to import fuel and wheat.
Finance Minister Al-Mursi Hegazy told reporters a revised economic reform plan would be sent to the parliament within two days, and then to the IMF immediately afterwards.
"As soon as the laws are sent to parliament, they will be sent (to the IMF)," he told reporters, adding he expected a response from the IMF within about 10 days to two weeks after the plan was sent to them.
Asked when Egypt planned to invite an IMF delegation to resume talks on the loan, Hegazy said: "I think within 10 days to two weeks."
The Fund and Egypt agreed on the loan in principle in November, but ratification was suspended at Cairo's behest in December after Mursi announced and then suspended tax increases that drew heavy criticism from the opposition.
A summary of the revised plan released by the government on Monday called for a levy on stock market transactions and a flat 25 percent tax on Egyptian companies, but did not spell out plans for cutting subsidy spending or detail other tax increases.
The government aims to raise 450 million Egyptian pounds ($66.8 million) a year from the stock exchange tax, Hani Qadri, Egypt's deputy minister of finance said at a press conference.
A fifth of the state budget goes on energy subsidies alone, but cutting them is widely unpopular, making it a sensitive issue ahead of parliamentary elections scheduled to start in April.
As part of its plan to cut fuel subsidies, the government raised prices for fuel oil by 50 percent last week for some industries. It also plans to implement a quota system for subsidised fuel in July and hopes energy use in the country to be at cost price within three years.
On Monday, Investment Minister Osama Saleh said Egypt would reopen talks with the IMF next month.
Egypt's foreign currency reserves tumbled to $13.6 billion in January from $36 billion before Mubarak was overthrown in February 2011. The Egyptian pound has fallen over 8 percent since the central bank started auctioning dollars at the end of December.
The government is targeting a deficit for this financial year of 189.7 billion Egyptian pounds ($28 billion), or 10.9 percent of total economic output.

History of Ghost Stories
Ghost stories began as ancient lore and told of visits to and from the other side of the grave, whereby heroes would learn of their destiny. The earliest of known ghost stories is The
Epic Of Gilgamesh
, written upon cuneiform tablets in the Akkadian language.
One of the most famous ghost stories was written by Homer and known as the Odyssey, while other reknown poets, such as Ovid and Vergil, also penned classic ghost stories. In fact,
Pliny the Younger might have told one of the first ghost stories about a haunted house in 62 AD

Common Threads in the Tales
Ghost stories, whether modern or of old, all seem to share similar themes about ghosts' tragedies, unfinished business, unrest, visitations, and hopeless roamings among the living. Ghost stories also sometimes share common ghostly messages of warning to aid those still alive, or tell of spirits with ill intentions, seeking revenge from those who wronged them in life. Some ghost stories truly enlighten, while other ghost stories paint a picture of hell to frighten!
As you might imagine, ghost stories have been popular for thousands of years, and people have various reasons for enjoying them, whether it's to learn something of the spirit world, or simply for a good scare. Ghost stories often reflect upon religious or spiritual beliefs concerning death and the afterlife. People naturally want to believe in
and thus, read about the survival of the spirit upon the passing of the human body. Descriptions of ghosts in stories fascinate mankind because one day we
will be like them. So in the reading of ghost tales, we learn of ghostly conditions and appearances, enabling us to become somewhat enlightened with what our future may hold.
Ghost Stories: Origins
Many famous authors have written stories about ghosts, such as Shakespeare, Henry James, M.R. James, Dickens, Wakefield, Irving, Aickman and of course, Edgar Allen Poe. Today, Stephen King has carried on the tradition of ghosts, by telling stories through books, television, and even movies!
Beyond the masters who have written many a ghost story lies cultural traditions and legends we share with one another. Many stories are passed down generations within families, never to be told to the world; yet these ghost stories are very personal and of greater meaning to them. The stories seem to evolve over time, though, as details are lost or forgotten. Yet, it seems almost every family, everywhere, has some sort of good ghost story hidden somewhere in their history.
Ghost stories can be fiction or true but usually include a haunting or experience with a ghost. Stories about ghosts are found within most cultures, whether modern or ancient. Ghost stories in classical literature have primarily been fictional, as they were typically used to teach a moral lesson. Charles Dickens' classic ghost story,
A Christmas Carol
, taught not only should we be benevolant to our fellow mankind, but that leading an immoral life can imprison one in their self-created hell in the afterlife.
Children also enjoy ghost stories, as evidenced by the popular
of recent years. It seems a good, non-terrifying ghost story awakens them to the supernatural and the unseen.
A great way to uncover ghost stories is while on vacation. Tourists with a love for the paranormal will want to look for ghost lore by searching gift shops and stores that carry books of regional hauntings written by local writers. Aspiring authors in many towns and regions will diligently research ghost tales and self-publish the stories which sell well to not only tourists, but local residents. One fine example of this phenomena, are the collection of ghost stories found within the Haunted Ohio series of books.

I'm now in Tennessee, but two states ago I visited the Oklahoma City National Memorial that remembers the 168 people (including 19 children) who died in the 1995 bombing.
It was a gray day, perfect for the somber mood of the place. Each chair represents one person (notice the smaller chairs in the middle for the children). I had a hard time not crying.
P.S. Wi-fi has been spotty, but if you want a more regular Gone Scamping fix, I'm posting daily over on Facebook.

A federal judge blocked the scheduled execution of a Virginia inmate Monday in order for his appeals to continue.
William Morva was scheduled to be executed August 15.
Morva was in a Blacksburg hospital awaiting trial on previous charges in 2006 when he tried to escape. He overpowered a sheriff's deputy and used the officer's pistol to kill a security guard. He then shot and killed a police corporal during a manhunt, which caused Virginia Tech's campus to go on lockdown.
All inmates are guaranteed federal appeals, if they are set to be executed.

Ebay & PayPal Informative - EBay, Customer Satisfaction, and market performance:
Review by
The "analyst" hawking EBAY may want to read an excellent paper published in the Journal of Marketing Vol. 70 (January 2006) authored by Fornell, Mithas, Morgeson, and Krishnan: titled "Customer Satisfaction and Stock Prices: High Returns, Low Risk" (a ".pdf" version is on the web). Last year EBay held a relatively good customer satisfaction rating. This year, I suspect a significant drop in customer satisfaction coupled with other market forces will keep EBay well away from their 52 week high and relatively close to their low. To get an indication of the depth of customer consternation with EBay, type the following into a Google search bar "Beware of EBay and Paypal" or visit www.themwed.org and click the banner on the right of the page. Then for contrast type, "Beware of IBM" into another Google search, and compare the results. Lou Gershner turned IBM on two points: cost control and customer satisfaction.
Toward the end of Fornell's paper is a graph (figure 5) displaying the performance of a portfolio based primarily on "customer satisfaction". The results given are relative to the performance of the S&P and DJIA. Their findings are stunning.
What is the point of this? Simple, Google is not EBay's only problem. Until EBay openly and honestly addresses the issues of their dis-satisfied customers, their stock will likely continue as an under performer. Furthermore, their clients will continue to defect, like "Network Solutions" who no longer displays PayPal on their website.
Below are two of many examples.

"If you are considering Ebay stock then go here to see how they treat their vendors as 2nd class citizens"
Posted by LosingMyBusiness2China on 07/24/06 11:56 PM
This is the pulse of the selling community. In it you'll see just how Greedbay or FEEbay devalues individual business owners. Since the announcement on July 19th, it has turned peoples lives upside down causing them to scramble to save their businesses. I don't think people realize just how patronizing and demeaning this company is to force sellers to pay higher fees while other sites get a free ride. To basically create this havoc while American jobs have to close because they cannot compete with China. Sometimes making money is not as important when it comes to the devastation of up to half a million stores globally
No one hears me or other ebayers. We are just crybabies. Crybabies that work very hard despite search manipulations and customer service that is worse than Dell's"
The following is from Seeking Alpha:
Postcards 4Salehttp://internet.seekingalpha.com/article/14462" \l "comment-55797#comment-55797 wrote on Tue Aug 1st @ 6:06 pm
If the quantity of listings is the main indicator of strong growth, then eBay is more than happy to manipulate those figures for you. All it takes is a bit of 'selling strategy', coupled with what is already in place.
The entire Pacific Rim eBay community enjoys "NO Fee" Stores and Listings. That is NO FEE for what on every other site, requires considerable expense. To be fair, those Fee-Free Asian sites do pay a Final Value Fee (FVF), but don't expect that to bring in much revenue.
You see, those industrious sellers know how to manipulate their own financial gain! All it takes is to sell the item for 1-cent and charge a high shipping cost. The FVF is charged to only the selling price, not to the shipping cost. So, just what is the FVF on 1-cent? $0.01 X 0.05 = $0.00
Oh, a few side benefits of this type of "Market Flood" is that American buyers are duped, ebay.com is saturated with cheap goods and those Listing Quantities look GREAT!

Ordered my Snugg for my Ipad mini, received it in about a week. Color selection was great. Love that it has the hand strap since I have limited muscle strength in my arms & hands, helps to keep it in place. Velcro keeps the ipad in place. Very snugg fit. Nice that it has a holder for a stylus also. Would have been nice to have the customized name option available but I figure it wasn't because of the size of the mini. Great Product.

Jerry Bruckheimer to Produce 'Beverly Hills Cop 4,' Still Developing 'Bad Boys 3' and 'Top Gun 2'

People under the age of 25 might be too young to remember what the names "Simpson/Bruckheimer" meant when appearing in front of a movie. With films like Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop, Days of Thunder, Bad Boys, The Rock, odds were if Jerry Bruckheimer and the late Don Simpson produced a movie in the Eighties or Nineties, it was awesome.

'Top Gun 2' Still a Possibility, Says Jerry Bruckheimer
4:49 PM 6/10/2013 by Jeff Giles
Well, take our breath away: the long-in-the-works Top Gun sequel, thought to be lost in director Tony Scott's untimely death, is still very much in development -- at least according to producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who sounded downright defiant in his remarks at the recent Produced By conference.
"For 30 years we've been trying to make a sequel and we're not going to stop," insisted Bruckheimer.
Jerry Bruckheimer says Top Gun 2 may still happen
joblo.com –
Despite reports that the sequel to TOP GUN was no longer happening in the wake of director Tony Scott's death, producer Jerry Bruckheimer has some information to the contrary. In the wake of TOP GUN's 3D re-release on Blu-ray, Bruckheimer has two more big franchise films on the horizon: THE LONE RANGER this summer and PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 5 after that.

Yoga as exercise or alternative medicine
Yoga class at a gym
Traditional medicine |
Previous NCCAM domains |
Yoga as exercise or alternative medicine primarily involves hatha yoga, which focuses on physical postures. Modified versions of the physical exercises in hathayoga have become popular as a kind of low-impact physical exercise, and are used for therapeutic purposes.[1][2][3] "Yoga" in this sense and in common parlance refers primarily to the asanas but less commonly to pranayama. Aspects of meditation are sometimes included.[4][5]
Both the meditative and the exercise components of yoga show promise for non-specific health benefits. According to an article in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, the system of hatha yoga believes that prana, or healing "life energy" is absorbed into the body through the breath, and can treat a wide variety of illnesses and complaints.[6]
Yoga has been studied as an intervention for many conditions, including back pain, stress, and depression.
A survey released in December 2008 by the US National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine[7] found that yoga was the sixth most commonly used alternative therapy in the United States during 2007, with 6.1 percent of the population participating.[8]
Background and overview[edit]
Yoga came to the attention of an educated western public in the mid 19th century along with other topics of Hindu philosophy. The first Hindu teacher to actively advocate and disseminate aspects of yoga to a western audience was Swami Vivekananda, who toured Europe and the United States in the 1890s[9] (however, Vivekananda put little emphasis on the physical practices of Hatha Yoga in his teachings).[10]
The physical asanas of hatha yoga have a tradition that goes back to at least the 15th century, but they were not widely practiced in India prior to the early 20th century. Hatha yoga was advocated by a number of late 19th to early 20th century gurus in India, including Tirumalai Krishnamacharya in south India, Swami Sivananda in the north, Sri Yogendra in Bombay, and Swami Kuvalayananda in Lonavala, near Bombay.[11] In the 1960s, several of their leading students, most notably B.K.S. Iyengar, K. Pattabhi Jois, Swami Vishnu-devananda, and Swami Satchidananda became active and popular in the West.[12][13][14] A second "yoga boom" followed in the 1980s, as Dean Ornish, MD, a medical researcher and follower of Swami Satchidananda, connected yoga to heart health, legitimizing yoga as a purely physical system of health exercises outside of counter culture or esotericism circles, and unconnected to a religious denomination.[9]
Since then, yoga has been used as supplementary therapy for diverse conditions such as cancer, diabetes, asthma, and AIDS.[15] The scope of medical issues where yoga is used as a complementary therapy continues to grow.
There are many different styles and disciplines and people practice yoga for a variety of reasons. Recently, research has been conducted on the healing properties of yoga and how it relates to positive psychology. Researchers wonder what psychological advantages it can afford, in addition to the previously discovered physical benefits. Yoga has proven to offer different and multiple benefits for individuals ranging from consciousness of one's body and its capabilities, satisfaction from challenging oneself physically, and increased energy and mental clarity and concentration.[16] While the topic is still somewhat new and some research is still preliminary, results have shown significant improvements in both physical and mental health among a variety of subjects in various circumstances.
The practice of yoga traditionally includes both meditation and exercise, but in the West the focus is mainly on exercise. The more classical approaches, such as Iyengar Yoga, move at a more deliberate pace, emphasize proper alignment and execution and hold asanas for a longer time. They aim to gradually improve flexibility, balance, and strength. Other approaches, such as Ashtanga or Power Yoga, shift between asanas quickly and energetically. More recently, contemporary approaches to yoga, developed by Vanda Scaravelli and others, invite students to become their own authority in yoga practice by offering principle-based approaches to yoga that can be applied to any form.[17]
Nearly all types of yoga practices include asanas, pranayama (breathing exercises), and savasanas (relaxation techniques).[18]
Theoretical approaches[edit]
Positive psychology[edit]
One of the most recent trends in the practice of and research about yoga as alternative therapy is how it relates to the field of positive psychology.[citation needed] Positive psychology is the study of that which contributes to the overall well-being of and supports the optimal functioning of individuals.[19] As more research is released in support of yoga contributing to a better state of being, yoga becomes more in line with positive psychology's focus on developing alternate strategies for healing and bettering individuals' lives.[19] Positive psychology refutes the concept of dualism and scientists in this field believe that the body and mind cannot be separated. This logic indicates that all physical benefits resulting from the practice of yoga are coupled with mental benefits such as development of inner consciousness, positivity, awareness, and appreciation of nature, combining to offer a whole-body therapy. Drawing from recent research on the mental and physical benefits of practicing yoga, positive psychologists have begun to look deeper into the possibilities of utilizing yoga as a positive psychology therapy.[20]
Yoga and religion[edit]
The most historically rooted perspective taken on yoga is that of considering yoga's spiritual linkages and implications.[citation needed] The foundational text for yoga is a Hindu scripture named Yoga Sutra. The Yoga Sutra is a compilation of sutras, or concise, instructional writings. There remains controversy over when the writings were published. The Yoga Sutra is built on a foundation of Samkhya philosophy. The physical practices detailed in the Yoga Sutras are the manifestation of theory offered in the Samkhya philosophies. The sutras are divided into four parts, including:
- Samadhi Pada: translated: "On being absorbed in spirit." This section focuses on the "emergence of the spiritual man from the veils and meshes of the psychic nature."[citation needed]
- Sadhana Pada "On being immersed in spirit."[citation needed]
- Vibhuti Pada "On supernatural abilities and gifts."[citation needed]
- Kaivalya Pada "On absolute freedom." This final section discusses the "mechanism of salvation," referring to "the ideally simple working of cosmic law which brings the spiritual man to birth, growth and fullness of power, and prepares him for the splendid, toilsome further stages of his great journey home."[21][22]
Evangelical Christian leader Albert Mohler is a critic of yoga, saying 'the embrace of yoga is a symptom of our postmodern spiritual confusion'.[23]
Religious articles from a variety of views and beliefs have been published to try to show that Yoga is leading people from their previous beliefs into eastern religions. Some websites are wholly dedicated to this purpose, under names such as "Yogadangers.com"[24]
Physical aspects of yoga[edit]
Hatha yoga has become popular in the West in the last two decades, and this has resulted in a heightened profile for the physical aspect of yoga.[9] The therapeutic benefits of yoga have been discussed by van der Kolk, who explains that because regulation of physical movement is a fundamental priority of the nervous system, focusing on and developing an awareness of physical movement allows for the mind and body to connect and be in better sync. This is beneficial for humans, especially those suffering from psychological conditions such as depression and PTSD (the focus of van der Kolk's work) because the connectedness of mind and body allow for feelings of control and understanding of their "inner sensations" and state of being.[20] The physical benefits of yoga are linked to the release of β-endorphins and the shift caused in neurotransmitter levels linked to emotions such as dopamine and serotonin.[25] These benefits are most likely in high-intensity practices of yoga.[20] Lower-intensity yoga practices, which includes a majority of yoga, typically spark the "relaxation response" as defined by Dr. Herbert Benson.[26] This response is typified by a "physiological de-activation" of tenseness and control over one's body. Benson related this release of control to the implicit dominance of the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS).[26]
Research activity[edit]
While much of the medical community views the results of yoga research to be significant, others argue that there were many flaws that undermine results. Much of the research on yoga has been in the form of preliminary studies or clinical trials of low methodological quality, including small sample sizes, inadequate blinding, lack of randomization, and high risk of bias.[27][28][29] As of 2011, evidence suggests that yoga may be at least as effective at improving health outcomes as other forms of mild physical exercise when added to standard care. What is found most concerning regarding the legitimacy of yoga as a method of healing is the current lack of specificity and standardization regarding the practice of yoga. One recent study examined the difficulties of implementing yoga-based therapies and methods of healing without any detailed, standardized and vetted descriptions of the asanas promoted as being beneficial for healing. This research calls for the creation of supported intervention practices that could be distributed and applied for use in clinical practice for patients.[20]
Specific conditions[edit]
- Anxiety and depression. A 2010 literaure review of the research on the use of yoga for treating depression said that preliminary research suggests that yoga may be effective in the management of depression. Both the exercise and the mindfulness meditation components may be helpful. However the review cautioned that "Although results from these trials are encouraging, they should be viewed as very preliminary because the trials, as a group, suffered from substantial methodological limitations."[30]
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. A 2010 Cochrane Review concludes that there is insufficient evidence to assess the effectiveness of meditative practices such as yoga in the management or improvement of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).[27]
- Back pain. There is evidence that yoga may be effective in the management of chronic, but not acute, low back pain.[31]
- Blood pressure. Although some evidence exists to suggest yoga might help people with high blood pressure, overall this evidence is too weak for any recommendation to be made, and little is known of the safety implications of such an approach.[32]
- Cancer. Practice of yoga may improve quality-of-life measures in cancer patients. It is unclear what aspect(s) may be beneficial or what populations should be targeted.[33] Other studies show improvements in how participants cope with symptoms from more physical conditions, like cancer. Learning breathing and relaxation techniques help patients manage pain, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and fatigue. The patients reported that their overall quality of life significantly improved in addition to mood, distress, sleep quality, and severity of cancer symptoms.[34] In a study performed by Susan DiStasio, women with breast cancer stated that they experienced lower pain on the day they practiced yoga, and men with prostate cancer said their stress decreased through yoga.[34] The positive effects of yoga can be soothing to survivors as well and help them to deal with post-cancer distress.[35]
- Dementia. A 2008 Cochrane Review concludes that the evidence was insufficient to determine whether adding mild physical activity, such as yoga, to usual care is effective in managing or improving health outcomes in patients with dementia.[36]
- Epilepsy. A Cochrane Review found no evidence to support the use of yoga in treatment of epilepsy as of 2009.[37]
- Menopause. Yoga has not been shown to have any specific effect for the treatment or management of symptoms of menopause.[38]
- Pediatric conditions. A 2009 systematic review concludes that there is insufficient evidence to support the use of yoga for any indication in the pediatric population. No adverse events were reported, and most trials were positive but of low methodological quality.[39]
- Rheumatic disease. Only weak evidence exists to support the use of yoga as a complementary therapy for helping people with rheumatic diseases, and little is known of the safety of such use.[40]
- Sport and athletics. Increasingly yoga is used to train sportspersons and athletes, to maximize performance, improve conditioning, and minimize injury. Yoga is used extensively within British soccer to minimize injury, with Manchester United star Ryan Giggs one of the most high-profile players to publicly incorporate it in his training regime.[41][42]
Although relatively safe, yoga is not risk free. Sensible precautions can usefully be taken – for example beginners should avoid advanced moves, yoga should not be combined with psychoactive drug use, and competitive yoga should be avoided.[43]
A small percentage of yoga practitioners each year suffer physical injuries analogous to sports injuries.[44]
The practice of yoga has also been cited as a cause of hyperextension or rotation of the neck, which may be a precipitating factor in cervical artery dissection.[45]

I just finished lunch at Manuel's, near the corner of Congress and Third. The Latin music was excellent, the slick black leather and art nouveau-inspired Mexican decor was appealing, and the service was fine. However, the food -- the whole reason I went -- was completely forgettable. Greasy and messy, my pork tacos were bland; the rice was flavorless; and the black beans -- maybe my favorite food in the world! -- were just a puddle of ooze.
Now, I'm sitting in Jo's Restaurant with a cup of hot cocoa. I wish I'd gotten a roast beef sandwich here.

Last we heard from Ashley Olsen, she was supposedly on the verge of an engagement with her actor boyfriend, Justin Bartha.
Now, she's embracing the single life.
People, Us and Star all report that Ashley, 24, has called it quits with Bartha, 32, after two-plus years of togetherness.
"It's over," a source assures Us, with another tattling to Star, "She was tired of waiting for him to settle down."
Word of the split comes five months after long-simmering engagement rumors picked up heat, with Us reporting that the "Hangover" second banana was about to pop the question to the pint-size fashion mogul.
"He's in love and is just waiting for the right time," bubbled an insider. "They mix well with each other's friends and calm each other."
In December, Olsen and Bartha were spied house-hunting in New York, where they reportedly checked out a deluxe 3,500-square-foot loft (asking price: $19,500 a month).
Reps for the pair are mum on the rampant bust-up rumors.
Still, Ashley's inner circle is probably surprised they lasted this long. When Mary-Kate's twin sis was first spied with Bartha back in May 2008, the romance was dismissed as nothing more than summer fling. Sniped a source to People, "He's just one of her boy toys!"

Super Nutrition - Think Clearly - 90 Vegetarian Tablets
Super Nutrition Think Clearly is a comprehensive brain booster with ginkgo and DMAE, enriched with organic herbs and greenfoods. Food-based and niacin-rich for healthy brain function and memory, this formula combines key co-factors, amino acids, efficacious herbs and phyto-chemical-rich green superfoods. Ideal for men and women of all ages.
About Super Nutrition Low-Flush Niacin Think Clearly contains a special two-stage, fast-release, low-flush niacin so that you can receive all the benefits for brain function and memory that only vitamin B3 as niacin can provide, with less chance of feeling the niacin skin flush (unless more than one tablet is taken at a time). The niacin flush represents increased blood flow, which in turn carries more nutrients and oxygen directly to the cells of your body. The niacin flush is characterized by a warming, reddening, or itching of the skin that lasts from 20 to 120 minutes and may be followed by a slight passing chill. After several days of consistent niacin supplementation, the flush may diminish.
Super Nutrition Think Clearly Features
Organic IngredientsSuper Nutrition is pleased to provide their customers with even more organic greenfoods and herbs. Since 1993, SuperNutrition multi-vitamin blends have included several organic herbs. They are pleased to announce that they have increased the number of certified organic herbs and greenfoods in their blends. They were just a bit organic before but now they're SO MUCH MORE ORGANIC! Super Nutrition labels now carry the announcement "Enriched with Organic Herbs & Greenfoods." Each organic herb and greenfood is noted on the ingredient list label by a green leaf after the name.
Distinguishing Features of SuperNutrition ProductsScientifically proven potencies and organic alfalfa-based tablets!
Why SuperNutrition uses niacin - safe, beneficial & invigoratingSuperNutrition predominately uses niacin ather than niacinamide because niacin is the more active form of vitamin B3, with studies showing improvements in memory test scores when dosing is high enough.
Taking niacin may result in a "niacin flush." The niacin flush is beneficial in that it relaxes the smooth muscles in the mid-size arteries causing the blood vessels to relax and dilate. This expands the width of the blood vessels and improves the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cells while increasing waste product removal from the cells. Niacinamide does not offer this benefit.
The niacin flush may result in a warm, tingling, reddening of the skin. The niacin flush can last from 15 minutes to 1 hour and may be followed by a slight passing chill. In very rare cases, the niacin flush may result in a rash or other mild side effects which disappear on lowering the dose or discontinuing.
The Hypoallergenic Leader:Gluten-Free, Yeast-Free, Super Pure and Clean Since 1977!SuperNutrition products have been free from allergenic nutrient sources since they started in 1977. Even though this can make their raw material costs higher, they only accept ingredients that are pure, clean and hypoallergenic. They even make sure no animal products like gelatin are used to stabilize nutrients like vitamin A, beta carotene and vitamin D.
The World's Best Buy!As you may know, SuperNutrition has a goal of getting the higher more effective anti-aging vitamin potencies into people's bodies so they can experience for themselves the super-health that anti-aging potencies bring. To do this, they've always offered their higher anti-aging potencies at prices comparable to or lower than regular potency multi-vitamins.
