Haldex Remanufacturing celebrates 25 years
Company prides itself on "being green" since 1985.
The Haldex Remanufacturing facility located in Marion, N.C. celebrated 25 years of being "green." Since 1985, the remanufacturing facility has been saving the environment 80 percent of the energy that would have been used to manufacture a comparable new part.
"Remanufacturing preserves the value of the original manufacturing-including energy costs, waste disposal and investment in capital and labor inputs-which recycling alone cannot do," said Haldex Remanufactured Product Manager George Trapp. "The process consists of taking used vehicle parts, completely disassembling and thoroughly cleaning them, replacing worn components with original quality or better components and restoring them to their original function."
By utilizing remanufacturing, this Haldex facility reduces the total amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere because of the inherent energy conservation and limits the amount of refuse to be disposed of in landfills.
Haldex is one of the broadest lines of quality remanufactured commercial vehicle parts in the world and provides the most extensive line of any single remanufacturer by offering remanufactured air compressors, air dryers, air system valves, water pumps, hydraulic brake parts, alternators and starters.
Haldex also congratulates over thirty dedicated employees who have worked at the facility for over 20 years.

text: I need the strength To walk out the door, I don't want to Love him anymore. He stole my heart And drank away my love, I was so wrong to think He was a blessing from above. Where will the road go Without him by my side, At night it's my dreams Where I run and hide. How can I ever Get pass this pain, The thunder gets louder With every drop of rain. I remember the moments When he held me tight, He kissed away my fears In the dark of the night. Love is a raging river That continuously flows, But it turns to ice When the cold wind blows. What will the tomorrows Bring my way, Why did my rainbow Suddenly turn gray. I need the strength To walk out the door, I don't want to Love him anymore. I gave him the heart Of my soul, But the magic of love Never reached its goal.

Air Jordan II – Joe Johnson PE Set on eBay
July 10th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 9 comments
What's wrong with the Air Jordan II? We'd say nothing, but Jordan Brand doesn't seem to agree, as the model has sort of been thrown under the bus as far as retros go in recent years. Showing what the sneakers are capable of is this set of player exclusives, a trio doled out to Jordan Brand baller Joe Johnson for his Atlanta Hawks days. There's a home, away, and alternate version that all sport the same "JJ 2″ personal touches up around the ankle. See each in full detail just after the jump and then take a look at your chance to own this incredible PE set of Jordans from elbato22 on eBay.

Over the last three years the Blood Brother crew has spent countless hours filming, editing and promoting the documentary. This has been a sincere effort to help change the lives of a group of HIV orphaned children in India. Having started with nothing, we're now on our way to premiere at the great Sundance Film Festival! Premiering at Sundance is a serious honor not just for us but for the kids and everyone who contributed to make this a reality. We are humbled to say the least.
Sundance Press Release: http://www.sundance.org/festival/release/2013-sundance-film-festival-announces-films-in-u.s.-and-world-competitions-/
The truth is that going to Sundace comes with a heavy price financially and we need your help to make this happen! It seems a selfish request to help us get to and through Sundance but we are not driven by selfish ambition. Of course it would help the careers of those involved in making Blood Brother, but this film has always been deeper than that. The more success Blood Brother has, the more we can do to help the kids! I need to remind you that we are not making a dime off of this film. All of our profit will be going directly to Rocky and the kids.
You trusted us with your money to create Blood Brother, now we ask you to trust us again to bring this film home! We want and need you to continue to be a part of this journey.
Check out the film's trailers by clicking the thumbnails below
We will be working with a publicist who has worked on many successful documentary films. This will require paying him/his team for their work. They will become part of our team positioning the film with the people who need to see it to help.
If we raise more than our goal, we will attempt to fly Rocky and his wife from India to Sundance to experience the festival and take part with any Q&A.
Any additional funding we will donate it to the HIV children at the orphanage.
If we do not reach our entire goal, we will still use them for the goals above, but we will pay for the rest out of our pockets.
Perks include some rewards previously not made available to the public including the film poster, personal Skype conversation with the filmmakers, download of music from the film and so on.
The $30 Reward includes music from each of the musicians who lent music to Blood Brother. Below are the tracks that will be available to you as well as a little bit about each artist.
Keith Kenniff "Amanda"
- Visit www.unseen-music.com to check out Keith's large body of work. He is a composer for film and TV as well as releasing albums under the monikers Helios, Goldmund and Mint Julep.
AJ Hochhalter "Keep Looking Up"
- AJ is a talented composer and has become a great friend over the course of working together. Listen to AJ's music here: http://soundcloud.com/listen-design-studio
Wytold "American Dreams"
- Visit www.Wytold.com to learn more and to check out his new holiday EP, Do You Hear What I Hear, as well as his upcoming original album, My Regards (to be released in February 2013).
Joseph Minadeo "And Snow (While Surfacing)" performed by Low in the Sky
- Joseph is a very talented musician who's latest work was scoring the film One Day On Earth. You can listen to his work at his webpage here: www.patternbased.com
Danny Bracken "All Humans Do"
- Danny Bracken is a musician and visual artist residing in Pittsburgh, PA. As a musician, he has performed extensively in North America, Europe, and Japan. Listen to his work here: www.dannybracken.com
The poster illustrated by our friend and talented artist, Courtney Miller, is available as two of the rewards for backing this. At the $100 mark you get the poster as a 9"x12" poster, with the option to have the director and/or producer sign it with a personalized message. At the $200 mark you will recieve a 24"x36" poster.
Rocky's hardcover book I Was Always Beautiful is the raw and unedited documentation of Rocky's life in India and what the children have taught him. We published this in hopes that people could experience his journey through personal journal entries and full-page photographs. Be sure to watch the trailer for the book here: https://vimeo.com/bloodbrotherfilm/review/54409009/67baf845b5
Something really special to us is that this entire film was funded through donations. This means we have no debt and no one to pay back for the film, allowing any/all monetary gain from the film to be used to help support the orphanage and the children with HIV in India, as well as supporting Rocky and his efforts. The funding we raised covered the necessities of the entire production. On top of that virtually everyone up to this point has worked for free - donating their time, talents and expertise towards the project. Because of this, we're set up to donate all our profits. When this all blows over, Rocky will still be in India so we want this to somehow support him and his efforts for a long time. We have no personal interest for financial gain in this project.
It's hard to describe how great of an impact Sundance will have on the future of Blood Brother and these kids. But what it all boils down to is that more exposure will lead to more opportunity to gain crucial support for the kids now and in the future. A publicist will generate an audience and interest for the film and bring awareness to the needs of Rocky and the kids. With your support, you would play a major role in keeping these kids healthy and alive.
We understand that some people just can't contribute, but that doesn't mean you can't help:
- Please help get the word out and make some noise about your campaign. Anything from a tweet, facebook post, or blog goes a long way.
- Also, Indiegogo has some great sharing tools to help with the click of a button

The filmmakers and everyone involved with Blood Brother thank you!

In the midst of World War II, the battle below the seas rages. The Nazi's have the upper edge as the Allies are unable to crack their war codes. That is, until a wrecked U-boat sends out an SOS signal, and the Allies realise this is their chance to seize the 'enigma coding machine'. But masquerading as Nazi's and taking over the U-boat is the smallest of their problems..

New York, March 6, 2014--The Committee to Protect Journalists today welcomed recent decisions by the Sudanese judiciary supporting press freedom and called on the government to stop confiscating independent newspapers.
New York, March 6, 2014--The Committee to Protect Journalists today welcomed recent decisions by the Sudanese judiciary supporting press freedom and called on the government to stop confiscating independent newspapers.
It has now been an entire year since Al-Hurra correspondent Bashar Fahmi, a Jordanian of Palestinian origin, and freelancer Austin Tice, of the United States, went missing in Syria. But the recent liberation of two freelance journalists held for months gives us some reason to hope.
New York, June 7, 2013--Two French journalists covering the Syrian conflict have been reported missing by their employer, according to news reports. The news comes amid reports that two other international journalists missing in Syria since April are alive.
New York, May 13, 2013--Syrian authorities must immediately release and ensure the well-being of a German freelance journalist who has reportedly been detained for more than a week, according to the Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel.
At any given time over the past two years, as wars raged in
Libya and then Syria, and as other conflicts ground on in South Asia and sub-Saharan
Africa, a number of journalists have been held captive by a diverse array of forces,
from militants and rebels to criminals and paramilitaries. And at any given
time, a small handful of these cases--sometimes one or two, sometimes
more--have been purposely kept out of the news media. That is true today.
New York, November 26, 2012--At least two journalists have been
killed over the past five days while documenting unrest in Syria, according to
news reports.
New York, September 21, 2012--Syrian security forces launched an assault Wednesday on the home of a cameraman who had recorded hundreds of videos on the country's conflict, burning the house and killing the journalist and three of his friends, local activists told international news outlets. The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the brutal attack and calls on all sides to stop targeting journalists.
New York, August 27, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists calls for the immediate release of Turkish cameraman Cüneyt Ünal, who appeared exhausted and bruised in a video aired today in which he said he had been taken captive while reporting in Syria.
Ünal, a cameraman for the U.S. government-funded broadcaster Al-Hurra, was reported missing in the northwestern city of Aleppo on August 20 along with an Al-Hurra colleague, reporter Bashar Fahmi, a Jordanian national of Palestinian origin. Ünal makes no mention of Fahmi in the video clip.
New York, August 20, 2012--A Japanese reporter was killed amid heavy fighting in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo today, while two other journalists were reported missing in the city, news reports said.

Weleda's Facial Cleansing Line prepares your skin for their Iris, Wild Rose or Pomegranate Facial Care products—whichever collection is right for you.
Where Beauty BeginsWeleda is farmers. They're up to their elbows in dirt, obsessing about weather reports and analyzing the pH of the rainfall. Not exactly the image that comes to mind when you think of a beauty company, but then, Weleda's not your average beauty company.
At Weleda, beauty isn't something that's made in a lab; it's something that's cultivated right from the earth. Carefully. Lovingly. And certainly without pesticides or chemicals. Those things aren't beautiful to them.
For nearly 90 years now, Weleda has demonstrated that nature can nurture and the earth can heal. And so they grow their organic roses so you can glow youthfully. Weleda gathers golden arnica blossoms to tend to bruises and sprains. They harvest acres of Biodynamic calendula for the comfort and health of newborn babies—and to inspire confidence in their cautious new parents.
Weleda may plow and harvest 135 acres of Biodynamic gardens around the planet. But what they cultivate, really, is beauty.
Weleda's Biodynamic GardensBiodynamics: Not a trend, a way of life. Organics aren't some newfangled trend Weleda is jumping on. More like a trend they helped to establish. Weleda set up one of the very first Biodynamic gardens all the way back in the 1920s to provide them with the natural, effective raw materials they needed to make their products the way they knew they should be made.
In these gardens, flowers thrived in the rich, balanced soil, bees buzzed from blossom to blossom, weeds were attended to with natural solutions and gardeners gently trod on the earth, nurturing every living creature. The result: the purest plants, flowers and fruits grown on earth. Remarkably, little has changed in Weleda's gardens since more than 80 years ago. Although, indeed, they've grown a bit since then.
Today Weleda has 135 acres of these Biodynamic gardens in Germany—the Weleda Biodynamic Medicinal Plant Gardens are the largest of their kind in Europe—with more in Switzerland, France, the UK, the Netherlands, Argentina, Brazil and New Zealand, collectively growing more than 300 healing plants and flowers. That's a whole lot of Biodynamic goodness.
Weleda believes that beauty comes from within—and without. There is power in the soil that they till, the organic, Biodynamic and wild plants that they harvest and the essential oils that they extract. So you can be assured they take excellent care of all of them. In fact, their gardens are like their babies; that's why you'll never find chemicals, pesticides or other scary things anywhere near their crops. Pure farming practices make for pure, effective Weleda products. Just the way they've always been.
A Brief History of Biodynamic FarmingIn the early 20th century, farmers noticed a decline in the health of their crops and livestock. They turned to renowned philosopher, natural scientist and Weleda founder, Dr. Rudolf Steiner, for help. He, in turn, created the principles that now define Biodynamic agriculture and the entire Weleda philosophy.
Dr. Steiner described each farm as a complete, self-sustaining organism. The soil was "alive," and if kept in balance, it had the ability to give life to healthy plants. Composting, fertilization and pest control were to be achieved using natural farm resources, and chemicals or growth hormones were strictly forbidden. Farmers were urged to study the natural rhythms of the sun, moon and planets to provide guidance on planting, crop rotation and harvesting.
In other words, take good care of your farm, and it will take good care of you too. Biodynamic farming turned out to be a great success, yielding crops of incredible purity and potency and helping to spawn the organic movement that's so popular today. Weleda sees it as the way farming was meant to be. Which is why they continue to employ its methods as they cultivate beauty around the world.
Growing Weleda's ProductsIt starts with soil. Beautiful products start with beautiful soil. Weleda keeps chemicals and pesticides out of their Biodynamic gardens, because the quality of their soil will reflect the quality of their products. Even their partners seek out the most gentle, safe farming methods available.
The HarvestBecause life nurtures life, all of Weleda's plants are processed immediately after they're harvested. Weleda's dedicated farmers work with great care to clean the roots, peel the bark and hand-select the best blossoms and leaves. Some plants are kept whole—to treat the whole being—while others are separated into components like roots, seeds, leaves or fruits, each to care for a specific skin-care or medical need.
Nourishment ReleasedGrinding, squeezing or cutting fresh ingredients releases their nourishing properties while they're most active and aromatic. Weleda then combine this active plant blend with a solution such as organic alcohol or spring water to create an organic extract called a tincture.
A tincture carries an "imprint," or life message, of the plant, and herbal or mineral tinctures are powerful enough to have been used around the world for centuries to treat medical needs.
Purity and ProtectionTinctures are an essential component of every product they make, but first they subject them to strict, pharmaceutical-quality controls. In fact, they frequently exceed stringent European laws and certification standards for the personal care and pharmaceutical industries. Weleda wouldn't settle for anything less.
A Beautiful ResultThe tinctures can now be blended with other extracts and raw materials to create the formulations that you know as your favorite soap, moisturizing facial cream, soothing eye drops, or gentle baby oil.

Liverpool Lime Street is a terminus railway station, and the main station serving the city centre of Liverpool. A large building resembling a Château fronts the station. The station terminates a branch of the West Coast Main Line from London Euston and TransPennine Express trains. An urban through underground station on the Wirral Line of the Merseyrail network is accessed via the main terminus. Lime Street is the largest and oldest railway station in Liverpool, and is one of 17 stations managed by Network Rail.[1]
The original terminus of the 1830 Liverpool and Manchester Railway (L&MR), was located at Crown Street, in Edge Hill, to the east and outside of the city centre. Construction of a purpose-built station at Lime Street in the city centre began in October 1833, the land being purchased from Liverpool Corporation for £9000. A tunnel was constructed between Edge Hill and the new station prior to station construction in 1832. The station was opened to the public in August 1836, although construction was not completed until the following year. Because of the steep incline between Lime Street and Edge Hill, trains were stopped at Edge Hill, their locomotives removed, and the passenger carriages taken down by gravity, descent controlled by brakemen. The return journey was achieved by using a stationary engine to haul the carriages up to Edge Hill with rope.
Within six years, the rapid growth of the railways entailed expansion of the original station. A plan was made to erect an iron roof similar to that found at Euston station in London, ridge roofs supported by iron columns; however, Richard Turner and William Fairburn submitted a design for a single curved roof, which won the approval of the station committee. The work cost £15,000, and was completed in 1849.
In 1867 further expansion was needed and included the present northern arched train shed which, with a span of 200-foot was the largest in the world at the time. It was also the first train shed in which iron was used throughout. A second parallel southern train shed was completed in 1879 being notable in being of dry construction with each bay taking only three days to construct.[2]
The station is elegantly fronted by a large building in the style of a French château, the former North Western Hotel. Designed by Alfred Waterhouse, the building was built in 1879 at the same time as the second train shed and is now accommodation for students of Liverpool John Moores University.
A new ticket hall and office complex, which unfortunately masked the views of the arches, were constructed in 2001. They were demolished as part of a comprehensive refurbishment completed in 2010.
In 1845 the L&MR was absorbed by its principal business partner, the Grand Junction Railway (GJR); the following year the GJR formed part of the London and North Western Railway. At 'the grouping' in 1923, the station passed to the ownership of the London, Midland and Scottish (LMS) railway, and, in 1948, the London Midland Region of British Railways. The station was one of the first to send mail by train.
Lime Street station was part of the first stage of electrification of the West Coast Main Line in 1959. In 1966, the station saw the launch of the first InterCity service.
With the creation of Merseyrail urban rail network in the 1970s, four terminus stations were demolished in Liverpool and Birkenhead centres leaving only Lime Street terminus as a central point to serve the whole region for medium and long haul routes. The Merseyrail network created ease of access for the whole Merseyside region to the one remaining large terminus.
Lime Street was voted "Station of the Year 2010" at the National Rail Awards.[3]
Station layout[edit]
Liverpool Lime Street is divided into two sections: the mainline station, which offers national inter-city and regional overground services including local City Line routes, and services on the Wirral Line of the Merseyrail network, located underground between the mainline station and St George's Hall.
The mainline station is still covered by the vast iron and glass roofs dating from the 1880s. Platforms 1 to 6 are shorter than 7 to 9, the latter dealing mainly with long-distance services to London, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield and Norwich. Access to platforms 1–6 is through a ticket inspection barrier, while platforms 7 is now gated with the creation of new shops and facilities. Platforms 8 and 9 are still "open". Toilets, booking offices, shops, a left-luggage office, taxi ranks and coffee bars are amongst the facilities provided.
The main concourse features a pair of statues of Ken Dodd and Bessie Braddock, a work entitled "Chance Meeting" by sculptor Tom Murphy, unveiled by Ken Dodd in June 2009.[4]
In 2009, new buildings were erected in the old "cab road" area between platforms 7 and 8. These currently house customer lounges, the Virgin Trains customer service point, and an ATM, and there are retail units which have coffee shops amongst the units.
In line with Liverpool's role as European Capital of Culture in 2008, and the city's 800th anniversary in 2007, the station and its immediate surroundings received a £35 million redevelopment. The Lime Street Gateway Project saw the retail parade and office block in front of the station demolished, and an improved frontage and public plaza built. The development was overseen by English Partnerships.
As a rule of thumb, during the day:
- Platform 1 for Northern Rail services to Warrington Bank Quay and Stalybridge
- Platform 2 for Northern Rail services to Wigan North Western
- Platform 3 for Northern Rail services to Preston and Blackpool North
- Platform 4 for Northern Rail services to Manchester Victoria and Manchester Airport
- Platform 5 for Northern Rail semi-fast services to Manchester Oxford Road
- Platform 6 for East Midlands Trains services to Sheffield, Nottingham and Norwich, and for the local stopper Northern Rail service to Manchester Oxford Road
- Platform 7 for Virgin Trains services to London Euston
- Platform 8 for London Midland services to Birmingham New Street
- Platform 9 for First TransPennine Express services to Leeds and the North East (mainly Scarborough, but also Middlesbrough, Hull and Newcastle)
Platforms are subject to change and diversions to a different platform are common, particularly when services arrive late or early.
July 2013 – Liverpool Lime Station platforms 1–5 are being fully refurbished by Network Rail. Platform 6 will be eventually straightened (as it is curved at present) between 2013/14.
The old platform 6A which is located next to platform 7 and is only used as a siding will become the new platform 7 in 2014. Existing platforms 7/8/9 will become new platforms 8/9/10, this will allow new long distance services to start and terminate at Lime Street to Scotland and London starting in 2015 from the new platform 8 & 9 (Virgin Trains).
Lime Street underground[edit]
The underground station consists of a single platform, alongside the Liverpool Loop tunnel, a single track tunnel bored in the 1970s, and a ticket hall above. The station is connected to the mainline station by means of a pedestrian subway and escalators, accessed via a long passageway which crosses beneath Lime Street itself, and by a lift from the main concourse. The station closed for refurbishment work in April 2013, reopening in August the same year.[5]
The Merseyrail Wirral line trains operate on a 5-minute frequency Monday-Saturday, and between 5 and 10-minute frequency on Sunday.
Off-peak service is as follows:
4 trains per hour to Chester
2 trains per hour to Ellesmere Port
4 trains per hour to West Kirby
4 trains per hour to New Brighton
As part of a programme of improvements by Merseytravel, the underground station has been fitted with automatic ticket barriers and machines.
A new 'M to Go' shop in the low level of the station was opened in late 2011.
The main station is currently served by five train operating companies serving a wide variety of destinations, but the service has been much reduced in recent times. For example it is no longer possible to travel directly to Edinburgh, Plymouth and Cardiff without changing trains. Services out of Lime Street (as of December 2013[update]) are as follows:
East Midlands Trains
East Midlands Trains operate an hourly service to Norwich via Warrington Central, Manchester Piccadilly, Stockport, Sheffield and Nottingham. Late afternoon and evening services terminate at Nottingham.
First TransPennine Express
TransPennine Express operate an hourly service to Scarborough via Warrington Central, Manchester Piccadilly, Leeds and York. There are also daily services to Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Hull. Evening services will run to York only.
London Midland
London Midland operate a half hourly service to Birmingham New Street via Runcorn, Crewe, Stafford and Wolverhampton. Late services terminate at Crewe.
Northern Rail
Northern Rail are the main train operating company out of Lime Street, and run the ticket office. Services include:
- Half hourly service to Manchester Oxford Road (via Warrington Central, most local stations)
- Hourly service to Blackpool North (via Preston, limited stop)
- Half hourly service to Wigan North Western (via St Helens Central, all stations)
- Hourly service to Stalybridge (via Manchester Victoria, all stations)
- Hourly service to Manchester Airport (via Newton-le-Willows, limited stop)
- Hourly service to Warrington Bank Quay (via Earlestown, all stations)
- Hourly service to Liverpool South Parkway (extended from Blackpool North)
- Also peak services run to Huddersfield (extension of Stalybridge local trains) and Preston
Virgin Trains
Virgin Trains operate an hourly Pendolino service to London Euston via Runcorn, Crewe (since December 2013 timetable change} and Stafford (some peak services also call at one or more of Lichfield Trent Valley, Tamworth, Nuneaton, Rugby, Milton Keynes Central and Watford Junction).
The underground station is situated on the Wirral Line of the Merseyrail network, which has services to New Brighton, West Kirby, Ellesmere Port and Chester. To reach destinations on the Northern Line of the network, passengers must either use the Wirral Line and change at Liverpool Central station or walk the short distance to the station.

Proposed services[edit]
Renaissance Trains have proposed a twice-daily service from Lime Street to Glasgow Central, with weekend trains running instead from Blackpool to Glasgow. As of 2009, the company is attempting to negotiate train paths with Network Rail.[6]
Proposals to upgrade the Halton Curve have been considered by, among others, Merseytravel and the North Cheshire Rail User's Group.[7] This would provide a second rail route between Liverpool and Wrexham, this one running via Chester (Providing express Liverpool to Chester services), and would permit the introduction of new direct services from Liverpool to Llandudno and other parts of North Wales.
Electrification of the former L&M route over Chat Moss & line to Wigan via St Helens Central by December 2014 and the subsequent wiring of the Trans-Pennine line beyond Manchester in 2016 will lead to a major recast of timetables on this line, with the current TPE through service re-routed via Earlestown & Manchester Victoria, diverted to Newcastle Central along the ECML and potentially increased in frequency. Another possibility could be the return of direct services to Edinburgh & Glasgow over the WCML, though no firm proposals have yet been submitted. There are also question marks as to whether suitable electric rolling stock will be available in time for the completion of the work.[8]
Withdrawn services[edit]
Certain direct trains to and from Liverpool Lime Street station have been withdrawn since 2000. These include the following services:
- Wales and West services to Cardiff and Milford Haven via the Welsh Marches.
- Virgin Trains Crosscountry services to Edinburgh, Poole, Weymouth, London Paddington, Portsmouth, Plymouth and Brighton.
- First North Western services to Chester via Warrington Bank Quay.
- Central Trains services to Cambridge and Stansted Airport.
In addition, former British Rail services to Scotland, Wrexham and other parts of North Wales, Bradford Interchange, Harwich and Leicester no longer operate.

It's called automatonophobia and it simply means a fear of puppets. But in the case of one mother it comes down to something more specific.
Lindsay Broom has suffered from the rare malady since she was five years old and her case is is somewhat unique.
She's deathly afraid of Muppets.
Yep, she can't handle being in the same room with or even seeing Kermit the Frog or Miss Piggy.
Even Burt and Ernie are to be feared.
For Lindsay, the situation is paralyzing and affects her family.
Lindsay told The Daily Mail she has three young kids and one is old enough to choose her own toys. That, she said, could be a disaster.
"She can have whatever she wants, of course. But I'm terrified she'll choose a Kermit the Frog doll, because I know I won't be able to live with it."
Lindsay explained further "I'm fine with most puppets. It's only The Muppets, Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock I can't stand."
There isn't a "cure" for automatonophobia but doctors say they can treat patients with hypnosis, medication and at times psychoanalysis therapy.
The situation that Broom believes led to her condition is creepy.
Read about how it happened and get more on the story here.

Buried Treasure Children's Complete Citrus -- 16 fl oz
Great ingredients
My kids did not like the taste. Even when I put it in juice they could not drink it. I tasted it and I got chills from the chalky taste. The ingredients is good but they need to work on the taste if they want children to take it.
September 28, 2013
this is ok
I brought this for my children and they were not impressed. My friend loves it for her son but my kiddos were used to the tablets and thought something was wrong with me. They were not pleased with the taste. This could have nothing to do with the product but everything to do with my children. so I say its ok because I cant accurately assess.
February 18, 2011
Great for G-tube
My daughter receives most of her nutrition through her G-tube. I refuse to give her Pediasure which is so full of sugar, and instead choose to give her more naturally nutritious things plus a good liquid vitamin. I found this vitamin to pack the most punch as far as having the most nutrition at the highest amounts. There are some rock-like lumps in the bottle that won't draw up in the syringe, so those get rinsed off before I give them to her. I have been very happy with this vitamin and it gives me peace of mind that she's getting the nutrients that may be missing from her diet otherwise.
November 9, 2010
Amazing Quality
I sneak this into my daughter's orange juice every morning. She doesn't know or taste the difference and she is getting a great suppliment. I have compared the label to many on the market and nothing compares.
May 11, 2010
Not so tasty
My children did not like the taste of this new formula. They have had the prior Children's Complete formula by Buried Treasure and both liked it very much. My older son will at least take it if I mix it with juice, but my youngest will not even drink it mixed with juice. I'm hoping that the other formula is still available. They do not like the citrus blend. I tasted it myself and have to agree that it is very strong.

Will Google's decision to introduce an algorithmic element into its Adwords 'Quality Score' spell the end for sponsored keyword arbitrage and add further pressure to affiliates to clean-up their act?

Google has responded to calls for greater transparency on click fraud by introducing a new tool for Adwords users that displays "invalid clicks".
Google business product manager Shuman Ghosemajumder explains: "The metrics of 'invalid clicks' and 'invalid clicks rate' will show virtually all the invalid clicks affecting an account."
This should provide advertisers with an overview of how Google is dealing with clicks already identified as possibly fraudulent, aka 'invalid', though for many marketers this might not be enough.

Paul Graham, one of the founders of web incubator Y Combinator, says we're not in a bubble, and he's right. There's way too much talk about this mythical bubble. It ain't a bubble, folks.
However, I think Paul is wide of the mark on a number of his assertions made when interviewed by Ian Delaney, who is currently writing a book on Web 2.0. Paul says he has spotted "a social trend that will last", namely: "the startup world will increasingly be ruled by technical people rather than business people".
God forbid!
I'm amazed that a savvy investor would think that way. Paul is a hacker himself of course, and a successful entrepreneur to boot, so I could be wildly out on this one. It just seems… wrong… on… so… many… levels…

Wow, Google's Quality Score is really starting to bite hard on some PPC budgets. I've just taken a call from Auctioning4U, a UK-based firm that helps people sell goods on eBay, and they are reporting that average click costs have risen by almost 2,000% in just one week.
Trevor Ginn, Head of Consulting at Auctioning4U, told me that one keyphrase has jumped in price from 12p to £2.75 in the last week.
In another example, the price went up from his default of 30p (which paid for an average Adwords position of 1.3) to £5.50. "Feel my pain," he says, not without reason.
Naturally, Trevor is wounded and reeling, and puzzled as to what he's done wrong. He's not really done anything wrong. It is simply a case of Google shifting the goalposts.
Yup, this PPC hyperinflation is linked to Google's newly-enhanced focus on ad quality. It could be a case of too much, too soon.

Last week we reported that eBay has banned Google Checkout, something that is likely to backfire on the auction giant, which owns rival payment processor PayPal.
Silicon has today published a timely analysis of why eBay is more likely to suffer than Big G.
Meanwhile, I have been looking for the smoking gun that might force Google to retaliate, leading to the possible banning of eBay from its search results. Hard to imagine it could come to that, but who knows?

Google CEO Eric Schmidt has played down calls for the search industry to tighten its grip on click fraud by declaring the problem "self-correcting".
Quoted by ZDNet from a speech at Stanford University earlier this year, the Google CEO said clickfraud could ultimately be solved by market forces, and that PPC firms should "let it happen".

GBuy is here, only it is called Google Checkout and despite the chief doers of no evil claiming that it "isn't like PayPal at all", it is, erm, rather like PayPal, in that merchants use it to process consumer payments.
Google Checkout allows consumers to purchase products by simply logging in to Google – no need for credit card numbers or filling out forms. Obviously you need to tell Google to begin with, but thereafter Google will store your credit card and address data...

The Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) has launched its latest initiative to understand more about the online behaviour, in a bid to provide advertisers with "a holistic understanding of what, where and how people are accessing the internet".
The Holy Grail for the IAB is to provide "a single online planning currency" for marketers, to help them "plan their online brand campaigns against traditional media".
The IAB has teamed up with National Readership Surveys (NRS), which will add an online element to the 3,000 face-to-face interviews it does each month with random consumers: "Areas covered in the study will include; demographic information, frequency of internet usage, where people are going online and how they are accessing the internet - for example by PC or through mobile devices."
The trouble is, I don't think this is what online media planners need...

You may still purchase a retroactive license for 2013 as well.
Covers ASCAP, BMI and SESAC. Any U.S. funeral home, cemetery, crematory or related business is eligible to join ICCFA as a Music License Member. So join today!
The ICCFA is offering 2014 music licensing with ASCAP, BMI and SESAC for only $270 per property, with no additional fees or membership requirements. This is the LOWEST PRICE available in the industry!
Companies that purchased their licenses through the ICCFA in 2013 were invoiced.
The music license rate is a direct pass-through of the combined annual fees from ASCAP, BMI and SESAC. Licensing directly with the agencies this year would cost nearly $600 per location, so this price is still the lowest available to the industry.
Music licensing is the law, and failure to obtain a license where one is required can be costly: Copyright law provides for damages similar to fines of up to $30,000 for each song that is infringed. If your company, regardless of size, hosts performances of copyrighted music—whether the music is performed live or played from recordings—music copyright owners say you are legally required to pay an annual licensing fee.
Membership is open to any company in the cemetery and funeral service industry in the U.S.

What Does "Having It All" Mean?
June 28, 2012
© Sarah Preston Gorenstein
It's been a week and I can't get The Atlantic cover story, "Why Women Still Can't Have It All," out my head. I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about it. Can we, or can't we have it all, and if we can't—why the hell not?
"Having it all" is relative, isn't it? If you put 10 women in a room, I bet each one would tell you that "having it all" means something different to them. Here's what it means to me.
Depending on the day (week or month) it changes. Some days I walk out of work thinking I do have it all—a healthy family, a happy child, a good career. I am blessed to have a great, well-paying job in a shitty economy; it's seven blocks from my house and four blocks from my son's preschool. Some days I feel like that's having it all.
Other days? I'm tired, I'm crabby, and I don't feel like going to work and leaving my son all day. Especially when he starts the morning off being cute, like yesterday when we were dancing around in my bathroom, getting ready.
Me: "You're such a little peanut."
Preston: [Giggles] "No…you're a saaandwich."
He kept telling me he loved me, and giving me big, meaningful hugs. All he wants in life is to spend more time with me, his mom who works. I swear, the kid doesn't even want presents or anything material—he just wants his mommy.
But then? He wouldn't brush his teeth, so I had to force brush them for him. I got blue toothpaste all over myself. He acted out. I yelled at him. He cried. I felt bad. He felt bad. He said, "Sowwy," in his cute, whimpering voice. We rushed out of the house, I dropped him off at school, and I was glad to be going to work. (Then just as I was walking out of his classroom he asked me for one more hug…knife through the heart.)
I don't take anything for granted, but I think "having it all," while perfectly achievable, is probably fleeting. The minute I think my life is settled and headed in the right direction, and I'm at peace with things the way they are, something throws that into question—like my desire to have more children, and the challenges that presents.
Other days I'm content with having only one child, and seriously consider that I've made choices in my life that have gotten me here, and I'm okay with that. Perhaps this is what our lives can handle right now, and maybe there's nothing wrong with that. But almost as soon as I have those thoughts, my son asks when he can see his cousins, or our friends' kids—who he talks about daily—and I see how happy he is being around other children, and I change my mind. He wants a sibling—there isn't a doubt in my mind. And I think I'll have some serious regrets if I don't try my hardest to try to give him one.
I don't have it all yet.
I bet women who strive to "have it all" never feel like they really do—the high-powered, successful working mom, juggling a career and kids, is always reaching for the top. Women who think in terms of "having it all" are always pushing the boundaries of what that even means. As much as I wish I could slow down sometimes, be home more and work less—I can't stop my mind from working overtime to figure out my next freelance project or career move. Or, for that matter, my next child.
I think we can have it all—maybe not every second of every day. But if you define "having it all" by being happy—content even—I don't see why that's so impossible. Life is about sacrifices; you just have to be okay making them.
Do you think you have it all? What does that mean to you?

" Mars Attacks!"
Take Me To Your Liver!
When the aliens finally come to take over Earth, you'll be glad you ate this healthy dish. Liver builds strong muscles and bones, and we've actually found a way to make it taste good, as well!
You will need:
For the liver and onions:
1 1/2 lbs. calf's liver, sliced 1/4" or as thinly as possible
2 cups cold milk
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 onions, thinly sliced
For the breading:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the sauce:
olive oil for sauteing
3 tablespoons capers
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar or sherry vinegar
1 cup beef stock
3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, minced
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1 copy "To Serve Man"
Rinse the liver well in cold water; place in a bowl, and cover with cold milk while assembling the next few ingredients.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the shallots, vinegar, mustard, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Drain the milk well from the liver, stir in the shallot marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Place a large, heavy sauti pan over low heat and add the remaining olive oil, sliced onions, and a pinch of salt. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid and cook until the onions have softened, released their liquid, and turned a golden brown (about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally). Set aside over a low heat to keep warm.
Combine the flour, breadcrumbs, salt and pepper on a large plate and stir together with a fork.
Heat a large frying pan over high heat with just enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet. When the oil is very hot, dredge the liver in the flour mixture and shake off the excess. Fry for no more than a minute on each side. The liver should be crisp and golden brown on the outside and a little pink in the middle. Cook in batches, transferring the cooked liver to a warm platter loosely covered with aluminum foil.
Reduce the heat under the frying pan and allow it cool a minute before adding capers, chopped shallots, and vinegar. Boil and reduce the vinegar until syrupy; then add the beef stock and reduce by half. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cold butter piece-by-piece, while whisking vigorously and shaking the pan. Stir in chopped parsley.
Arrange the liver and the browned onions from step #3 on serving plates and spoon some sauce over each portion. Garnish with lemon wedge and Italian parsley.
Serve with pride; secure in the knowledge that once you've taken them to your liver, they will come in peas.

Scopolamine (USAN), hyoscine (BAN) also known as levo-duboisine or burundanga,[4] sold as Scopoderm, is a tropane alkaloid drug with muscarinic antagonist effects. It is among the secondary metabolites of plants from Solanaceae (nightshade) family of plants, such as henbane, jimson weed (Datura), angel's trumpets (Brugmansia), and corkwood (Duboisia).[5][6] Scopolamine exerts its effects by acting as a competitive antagonist at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, specifically M1 receptors; it is thus classified as an anticholinergic, antimuscarinic drug. (See the article on the parasympathetic nervous system for details of this physiology.)
Its use in medicine is relatively limited, with its chief uses being in the treatment of motion sickness and postoperative nausea and vomiting.[2][7][8]
Scopolamine is named after the plant genus Scopolia.[6] The name "hyoscine" is from the scientific name for henbane, Hyoscyamus niger.[9]
Medical use[edit]
Scopolamine has a number of uses in medicine where it is used to treat:[10][11]
- Postoperative nausea and vomiting and sea sickness, leading to its use by scuba divers.[12][13]
- Motion sickness (where it is often applied as a transdermal patch behind the ear)
- Gastrointestinal spasms
- Renal or biliary spasms
- Aid in GI radiology and endoscopy
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Clozapine-induced hypersalivation (drooling)
- Bowel colic
and is sometimes used as a premedication (especially to reduce respiratory tract secretions) to surgery, mostly commonly via injection.[10][11]
Adverse effects[edit]
Adverse effect incidence:[1][2][7][8][14]
- Uncommon (0.1%-1% incidence) adverse effects include
- Dry mouth
- Dyshidrosis (reduced ability to sweat to cool off)
- Tachycardia (usually occurs at higher doses and is succeeded by bradycardia)
- Bradycardia
- Urticaria
- Pruritus
- Rare (<0.1% incidence) adverse effects include
- Constipation
- Urinary retention (being unable to urinate)
- Hallucinations
- Agitation
- Confusion
- Restlessness
- Seizures
- Unknown frequency adverse effects include
- Anaphylactic shock
- Anaphylactic reactions
- Dyspnea (shortness of breath)
- Rash
- Erythema
- Other hypersensitivity reactions
- Blurred vision
- Mydriasis
- Drowsiness
- Dizziness
- Somnolence
Physostigmine is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, and has been used to treat the CNS depression symptoms of scopolamine overdose.[15] Other than this supportive treatment, gastric lavage and induced emesis (vomiting) are usually recommended as treatments for overdoses.[14] The symptoms of overdose include:[1][14]
- Tachycardia
- Arrhythmia
- Blurred vision
- Photophobia
- Urinary retention
- Drowsiness or paradoxical excitement which can present with hallucinations
- Cheyne-Stokes respiration
- Dry mouth
- Skin reddening
- Inhibition of gastrointestinal motility
Biosynthesis in plants[edit]
The biosynthesis of scopolamine begins with the decarboxylation of L-ornithine to putrescine by ornithine decarboxylase (EC 220.127.116.11). Putrescine is methylated to N-methylputrescine by putrescine N-methyltransferase (EC 188.8.131.52).[16]
A putrescine oxidase (EC 188.8.131.52) that specifically recognizes methylated putrescine catalyzes the deamination of this compound to 4-methylaminobutanal, which then undergoes a spontaneous ring formation to N-methyl-pyrrolium cation. In the next step, the pyrrolium cation condenses with acetoacetic acid yielding hygrine. No enzymatic activity could be demonstrated to catalyze this reaction. Hygrine further rearranges to tropinone.[16]
Subsequently, tropinone reductase I (EC 220.127.116.11) converts tropinone to tropine which condenses with phenylalanine-derived phenyllactate to littorine. A cytochrome P450 classified as Cyp80F1[17] oxidizes and rearranges littorine to hyoscyamine aldehyde. In the final step, hyoscyamine undergoes epoxidation catalyzed by 6beta-hydroxyhyoscyamine epoxidase (EC 220.127.116.11) yielding scopolamine.[16]
One of the earlier alkaloids isolated from plant sources, scopolamine has been in use in its purified forms (such as various salts, including hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide and sulfate), since its isolation by the German scientist Albert Ladenburg in 1880, and as various preparations from its plant-based form since antiquity and perhaps prehistoric times. Following the description of the structure and activity of scopolamine by Ladenburg, the search for synthetic analogues of and methods for total synthesis of scopolamine and/or atropine in the 1930s and 1940s resulted in the discovery of diphenhydramine, an early antihistamine and the prototype of its chemical subclass of these drugs, and pethidine, the first fully synthetic opioid analgesic, known as Dolatin and Demerol amongst many other trade names.
Scopolamine was used in conjunction with morphine, oxycodone, or other opioids from before 1900 into the 1960s to put mothers in labor into a kind of "twilight sleep". The analgesia from scopolamine plus a strong opioid is deep enough to allow higher doses to be used as a form of anaesthesia.
Scopolamine mixed with oxycodone (Eukodal) and ephedrine was marketed by Merck as SEE (from the German initials of the ingredients) and Scophedal starting in 1928, and the mixture is sometimes mixed on site on rare occasions in the area of its greatest historical usage, namely Germany and Central Europe.
Scopolamine was also one of the active ingredients in Asthmador, an over-the-counter (OTC) smoking preparation marketed in the 1950s and '60s claiming to combat asthma and bronchitis. In November 1990, the US Food and Drug Administration forced OTC products with scopolamine and several hundred other ingredients that had allegedly not been proved effective off the market. Scopolamine shared a small segment of the OTC sleeping pill market with diphenhydramine, phenyltoloxamine, pyrilamine, doxylamine, and other first-generation antihistamines, many of which are still used for this purpose in drugs such as Sominex, Tylenol PM, NyQuil, etc.
Methods of administration[edit]
Scopolamine can be administered orally, subcutaneously, ophthalmically and intravenously, as well as via a transdermal patch.[18] The transdermal patch (e.g., Transderm Scōp) for prevention of nausea and motion sickness employs scopolamine base, and is effective for up to three days.[19] The oral, ophthalmic, and intravenous forms have shorter half-lives and are usually found in the form scopolamine hydrobromide (for example in Scopace, soluble 0.4 mg tablets or Donnatal).
NASA is currently developing a nasal administration method. With a precise dosage, the NASA spray formulation has been shown to work faster and more reliably than the oral form.[20]
Recreational use[edit]
While it is occasionally used recreationally for its hallucinogenic properties, the experiences are often mentally and physically extremely unpleasant, and frequently physically dangerous, so repeated use is rare.[21]
About one in five emergency room admissions for poisoning in Bogotá, Colombia, have been attributed to scopolamine.[4] In June 2008, more than 20 people were hospitalized with psychosis in Norway after ingesting counterfeit Rohypnol tablets containing scopolamine.[22]
Use in interrogation[edit]
The effects of scopolamine were studied by criminologists in the early 20th century.[23] In 2009, it was proved that Czechoslovak communist State Security secret police used scopolamine at least three times to obtain confessions from alleged anti-state conspirators.[24] Because of a number of undesirable side effects, scopolamine was shortly disqualified as a truth serum.[25]
Criminal use[edit]
In 1910, scopolamine was detected in the remains believed to be those of Cora Crippen, wife of Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen, and was accepted at the time as the cause of her death, since her husband was known to have bought some at the start of the year.[26]
In 2008, Vice News aired an episode called Colombian Devil's Breath recounting the use of scopolamine by Colombian criminals as a suggestion drug. The two-part investigation contains multiple first-hand accounts of its use.[27]
Scopolamine is used criminally as a date rape drug in Drug facilitated sexual assaults and as an aid to robbery,[28][dead link] the most common act being the clandestine drugging of a victim's drink.[28]
Per the United States State Department (March 4, 2012): "One common and particularly dangerous method that criminals use in order to rob a victim is through the use of drugs. The most common has been scopolamine. Unofficial estimates put the number of annual scopolamine incidents in Colombia at approximately 50,000. Scopolamine can render a victim unconscious for 24 hours or more. In large doses, it can cause respiratory failure and death. It is most often administered in liquid or powder form in foods and beverages. The majority of these incidents occur in night clubs and bars, and usually men, perceived to be wealthy, are targeted by young, attractive women. To avoid becoming a victim of scopolamine, one should never accept food or beverages offered by strangers or new acquaintances or leave food or beverages unattended. Victims of scopolamine or other drugs should seek immediate medical attention."[29]
Hyoscine has been found to produce rapid and robust antidepressant effects in patients with major depressive disorder[30][31] and bipolar depression[32] when intravenously infused. There seems to be a gender discrepancy favouring women for antidepressant and anxiolytic response over men.[33]

9 1/8" (23.18 cm) Green Plastic Drone Comb Frame - Case of 10
9 1/8" (23.18 cm) Green Plastic Drone Comb Frame - Case of 10:
This one piece plastic frame and foundation has a larger cell pattern which encourages the bees to make drone comb. As part of your Integrated Pest Management program for varroa mites, insert one drone frame into each hive. When the bees have capped the cells, place the frame in a plastic bag in the freezer overnight. Remove the frame from the freezer and let it warm to room temperature. Drag your capping scratcher across the cells, breaking them open, then place the frame back in the hive for the worker bees to clean out the dead drones and mites. Repeat the cycle as the bees refill and cap the cells.
Use with 9 5/8" (24.45 cm) Hive Bodies.
Code: PF-306

Winners aren't actually announced until January, I think. It's a nationwide contest with entries from all the Sassoon Connection schools, so I'll be up against a lot of really good artists. It would be amazing just to place.
