Use company name in Forum handle?
I'm starting a forum, and for my 'admin' username, I was toying with having a username that contained a company name and one other 'part'.
E.g. companyname-part2
I don't intend to say things on the forum that would in any way bring said company in to disrepute. Indeed I very much like the company.
Is there a legal problem here?
Particularly as forum creator, Am I running an un-necassary risk?

- Top Chef Duels C.J. Calls Stefan an Ass Wednesdays 10/9c
There are currently no items to display.
The second episode reveals to us the personalities of each of the chefs and lays the foundation for an exciting and vibrant Season 2 of TCJD… and it is so promising!
Quickfire Challenge: create an original and amazing lemon dessert!
Ah lemons, so simple, but yet, so tricky. Judged by Margaret Braun, this was a racy and somewhat intense challenge! Cooking with lemons is more than just following a recipe, the chefs had to create a dessert that was inventive but not overwhelmed by the citrus… a perfect marriage of flavors. Meanwhile, as the intensity began to build, Orlando was trying to overcome his severe lemon allergy and Rebecca was getting it done with a broken wrist; she made it happen! Have you ever tried to squeeze lemons with one hand? Bravo!
My favorite desserts were between Katzie's lemon crepe ribbons with egg yolk and butter emulsion, Carlos's citrus soup with sphere yogurt and olive oil powder, and Matthew's lemon vanilla cream with mint puree and hazelnut sable. Whimsical, imaginative, and simply delicious, those three chefs definitely made more than lemonade out of there lemons!
The setting for the Elimination Challenge was so exceptional -- we were right in the heart of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, a true architectural achievement! Can you imagine, creating a three-layer showpiece for 150 guests for the opening night? That would make me a little nervous. And to top it off, the showpiece needed to be transported through Los Angeles during rush-hour traffic and moved up a million stairs… not an easy task!
The teams were set: Red, Green, Black, and Blue.
My first impression as I walked into the gala was how much the poorly-executed showpieces stood out from the well-executed ones!

Dressing for Fame: Stylist and A.L.C. Designer Andrea Lieberman on What Women Want-------
If celebrity status is conferred in red-carpet appearances, then no actress today can compete without the help of just the right stylist. As Kerry Washington once told Glamour after she noticeably upped the sartorial ante, "There were a couple of actresses whom I felt were having the upper hand careerwise—because they knew how to work that red carpet." A carefully crafted collaboration between stylist and client, the perfect look can create an indelible impact on agents, casting directors, and those of us watching from the sidelines. Straight from the epicenter of all things celebrity, we've asked some of the industry's top stylists to share their experiences and impressions from their perch above Tinseltown. With our Dressing for Fame series, we bring you an exclusive, insider look at everything it takes to create those iconic moments captured by a million photo flashes.
Andrea Lieberman is a rare breed of stylist. A success story at styling, no doubt (she put J.Lo on the map in that plunging Versace at the Grammys), Lieberman harnessed that success into A.L.C., her well-received contemporary collection that seems to set the standard of cool season after season. With one foot still delicately placed in the world of styling and one firmly planted in design, the stylist-slash-designer talks exclusively to Style.com about going through the Valentino archives, her friend Arianne Phillips, working with J.Lo, and more.
You've done a lot of work styling music artists. Is there anything about styling for music artists that you've found different from styling celebrities in general?
My background was always very much a music background. For me, I really enjoyed that collaborative effort and creating a whole image, like an art director. It was more about collaborating on their image and touring and costuming and just really creating a look to go along with the vibe of where the album was.
What compelled you to start designing?
I immersed myself at a young age growing up in New York in the world of fashion, whether it was internships to retail to helping out friends who were stylists. Arianne Phillips is a very dear friend and has always been a huge inspiration of mine. I remember when I met her when we were both young and hanging out in New York. She was one of the first people I knew who worked on music, so she was quite inspiring. In terms of when I made the decision, it was just organic for me, and it felt right at that time in my life. I had a great time styling for ten years, and it was time for me to start a family and shake things up.
Do you think your styling career has informed your design career and vice versa?
As a stylist, you understand women and their wardrobe needs. Whether it's an artist or a more average person, how they take things from the runway and make it a reality is an interesting thing. That's how people actually wear things, and I think that's why there's been so many street-style blogs. I understand the emotional connection of women getting dressed, what makes them feel good, and what they put on to say, "This makes me feel good, this is what makes me feel strong." I think from dressing women who were not models, you understand this emotion.
You're well known for certain looks that you dressed your clients in. Is there one that sticks out to you as your favorite red-carpet moment?
For me, there are quieter moments that might not have gotten attention like the other moments. I had access to the Valentino archives for the Oscars one year (when there was no red carpet) and dressed Jennifer Lopez in a beautiful mint green Valentino dress that [had been] worn by Jackie O. That was a majorly beautiful moment. And I worked with Fred Leighton, and we made these amazing maharaja-inspired earrings out of all platinum and diamonds.
Do you want to be remembered or regarded as a stylist or a designer? Or both?
I just want to be present. Obviously, both. Styling was a really important part of my journey, but maybe I'll be remembered for the next thing that I do.
Arianne Phillips Talks Dressing Hedwig and Her Angry Inch-------
Broadway is no stranger to men in drag (think Kinky Boots, Cabaret, and, soon, Casa Valentina). But it has certainly never seen anything quite like the rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch. The transgressive, transformative, transgender title character first stomped onto the underground scene in the late 1990s, the surly brainchild of John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask. Creating not only the singing, dancing, wisecracking East German ingenue, Mitchell played her in off-Broadway productions and in the cult-hit film of 2001. It was on the big screen that, along with her angry inch (so named, as she comically hisses in one song, for the proverbial chop she hastily underwent in an effort to flee East Berlin), the stubby star was born.
Ever plucky and resourceful, Hedwig has now made it to Broadway. Neil Patrick Harris dons the diva's duds, reimagined by costume designer Arianne Phillips, who originally crafted them for the film version. In addition to Hedwig's blond feathered mullet, the ultimate sight gag, her clothes—cobbled together from whatever she can salvage from her hardscrabble, socialist surroundings—are as unique, sympathetic, and fearless as she. Hedwig's wardrobe goes a long way in telling her story, in all its gritty and triumphant reality, as Phillips explains backstage at the Belasco Theatre.
You did the costumes for the film version of Hedwig, which catapulted her to global notoriety. Did you look at this Broadway restaging as an update or starting from scratch?
It's not starting from scratch because I know the material, but it's a totally different experience designing for the stage than it is for film. I know the material intimately, but it's been fourteen years since I designed the film. It's been a real gift to revisit the material with Neil, who brings his own genius and personality to the character. The amazing thing about Neil is that he has all these skills as an actor. He's studied circus techniques, he's studied magic. Rumor has it—and I haven't asked him—that he's the president of The Magic Castle.
I don't know that, but I do know he collects magic memorabilia.
The first time I met him, he said to me, "I love costumes. I love illusion. I love magic. So bring it on. Let's create magic." And I just was dumbfounded because the first thing actors usually say is, "Please don't give me too much to do!" So that was super-inspiring and exciting.
Besides Hedwig, you're well-known for working with Madonna, creating many of her signature looks over the years.
My experience with doing live theater really is working with Madonna and designing her last five tours. Live theater is very different from film because there are different needs for the costumes. Neil as Hedwig never leaves the stage, so if there's a costume change, we have to find a clever way to do it—quick changes and under-or-over-dressing. Basically it's a one-person show, whereas the film had many more characters.
Did Neil bring any of his own ideas to the costumes?
He certainly brought a lot of physical ideas, in terms of how we were going to make costume changes and how he was going to wear them. He's incredibly collaborative. He loves the process and he appreciates costumes. He understands them and how they're an integral part of the character. Neil's a physical actor. He's like a triple threat: He's a great actor, he can sing, and he can dance.
What about his drag?
The first thing was getting him in high heels, which takes a lot of bravery to wear. He has not once had an issue with it, and I didn't have to make the heels lower. Of course, we custom-made the heels for him. Plus, working on Madonna's tours, I have some experience dressing guys in high heels.
Did he buff up for the role? He looks more muscular than I've seen him.
Well, I don't think we've seen him with so few clothes on. Doing [Broadway] is like being an athlete, and he never leaves the stage. On some nights, he has two shows. Luckily for me, he has the most beautiful body to dress. He looks incredible. He can create the female illusion, and yet there's a masculinity as well. It's reminiscent for me of Tim Curry in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, where there's a feminine and masculine duality. I think Neil physically embodies that sexual ambiguity. It's provocative in its own way, and he moves beautifully.
Do any of the pieces draw from runway collections?
There are no designer clothes in this show, but I had inspiration. I spent this past year in London working on a film, and I went to see the Bowie exhibit at the V&A. I was really inspired by a lot of Kansai Yamamoto's costumes for David Bowie. The material in Hedwig's opening costume references Bowie, as well as Lou Reed and Iggy Pop—the "crypto-homo-rockers," like they say in the show. On one side it's real German camouflage and on the other side is American camo. There was a French guy who saw the show one night and he recognized the camo, which is really cool. I wanted to put a lot of story in the costumes for us, and if the audience gets it, great.
The denim patchwork ensemble is also quite fabulous.
In the film and the original Jane Street production, there's a cape that Hedwig wears. It has a kind of graffiti effect resembling the Berlin Wall. I wanted to move on from the cape, to build from it, because that was really part of the original Hedwig. I wanted something fresh for Neil. The denim jumpsuit came from the idea that Hedwig would have made it herself to get over the wall, to blend in with it.
It almost looks like it is the Berlin Wall.
That's exactly right. The Swarovski crystals make brick shapes, and this appliqué is the eye from [the song] "Origin of Love." Over here is Adam and Eve. This graffiti was inspired directly from ACT UP graffiti in some pictures I took of the Berlin Wall when I was there a year and a half ago. It's basically a collage that tells her story, how she was created. Here are more Swarovski beads and studs, and crystal fringe. It was really important to me to use different applications of Swarovski so that the costumes wouldn't be just one big blob of sparkle onstage. They're so artist-supportive and they really bent over backward to supply us. The costume is all about illusion, so what looks like a skirt is really a skort. Every costume has to feel like Hedwig made it herself.
Let's talk about the faux fur extravaganza.
It's our fantasy moment—Hedwig's hairstyle revisited. And the homage to the famous Hedwig wig doesn't end there. We capped the costume off with this gold helmet in the shape of the wig. It's part of a collaboration with Desi Santiago, who's an amazing performance artist and who's also from the club scene. Desi collaborates a lot with me, working on Madonna's tours. So this is a Hedwig helmet based on a German helmet, and because it's chromed in gold, it's also like an Oscar trophy. It's a showstopper.
So much thought goes into every detail. Nothing is accidental.
There has to be a reason for everything. The costumes have to reflect the character and the story, and they're the result of collaboration. I might come up with the inspiration, but I work closely with different artisans. Layers of thought go into each costume, based on the person I'm working with. I collaborated a lot with Eric Winterling's studio. His shop, along with costume designer Eiko Ishioka, manufactured Grace Jones' costumes for her last tour. One of his ideas was to use magnets for the rip-away. I wouldn't have known that. And this crystal mesh bandanna is part of a collaboration with Michael Schmidt, one of the original creators of the club SqueezeBox, where John Cameron Mitchell workshopped Hedwig before Jane Street. Michael's a friend of the show, so I wanted his fingerprints. I really wanted to keep the downtown integrity of the show. Hedwig was really spawned from clubs, so the costumes needed to feel downtown-worthy. That meant avoiding the kind of glitzy sleekness of a lot of Broadway shows. I felt I had to keep Hedwig's rock-and-roll roots.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch is currently in previews and opens on April 22.
Arianne Phillips on Dressing the Material Girl-------
You'd think that, after working with Madonna for 15 years, Arianne Phillips would have seen it all. But Phillips, the stylist and costume designer behind a decade and a half of Madonna videos and performances, as well as films like Walk the Line and W.E., says that the pop star's 2012 MDNA world tour was like nothing she had ever experienced. "There were an epic amount, a tsunami, of costumes," Phillips told Style.com of the show's wardrobe, which included an updated iteration of Madonna's iconic cone bra by Jean Paul Gaultier. "And we aren't talking tennis shoes and sneakers—it's costume and fashion." Prior to the premiere of Madonna: The MDNA Tour, a documentary that airs on Epix tonight at 8 p.m., Phillips, who's currently in London working on a new film, talked to Style.com about the MDNA costumes, Madonna's collaboration with Jean Paul Gaultier, and what it takes to put on an unforgettable show.
Where do you begin when designing costumes for Madonna?
Well, it always starts with the music, of course, and usually Madonna crafts a set list that's part of a narrative. It's a story with a beginning, middle, and end. This show was really about transformation. Each act had a different theme and costume had a purpose. This tour with her was definitely the biggest undertaking I have been a part of—on the technical side and on the conceptual side. It's one thing to just design a costume for Madonna herself, but if you think about it, we had 23 dancers, five band members, and two background singers. And everyone requires multiple costume changes.
How do the costumes help express the show's narrative?
We think of it as characters, and [Madonna] is playing a part. That character requires development and visuals in addition to the songs she's singing. In the beginning of the show, she comes out dressed like a queen in a crown with a machine gun. She takes that off to reveal this super-vixen character that we kind of debuted in the "Girl Gone Wild" video. The next act is all about expression and having a message, and it opens up with "Express Yourself." She's wearing this homage to a forties majorette. The third act is "Vogue," and it's all about identity and gender-bending—iconic Madonna. She's trying to figure out who she is again. And in the end, it's a celebration, and she transforms into this powerful Joan of Arc character. Everyone is wearing mesh T-shirts, and it's just like a really fun party. The tour gave her an opportunity to take classic songs like "Papa Don't Preach" and give them a new twist. She has been performing these same songs forever, but she's the queen of reinvention, and she creates an entertaining concept for the shows that keeps it interesting and relevant. The costumes have to underscore that, and they have to provoke and entertain.
How many costume changes did Madonna do throughout the course of the show?
The costumes are part of the choreography, so we have a lot of quick changes, and people are literally changing clothes under the stage. Madonna changes full costumes about four times. But then, for instance, for the "Vogue" act, she comes out in the Gaultier corset and then she disrobes. So by the end of the act, when she sings "Like a Virgin," she is in a corset and a bra, and she has done different songs in different deconstructions of the outfit. So her costumes change for almost every song.

Exclusive: Backstage At Madonna's MDNA Tour-------
Madonna kicked off the North American portion of her worldwide MDNA tour last night in Philadelphia and brings it to NYC next Thursday (September 6), just as fashion week gets under way. It's fitting timing, given that her extravagant show might as well be a runway show in itself. Her longtime stylist and collaborator Arianne Phillips helped curate custom costumes by everyone from Alexander Wang to Jeremy Scott to Fausto Puglisi, totaling up to eight outfit changes per show (her dancers reportedly switch 10 to 15 times). And since Madge is never one to go light on shine, many of the costumes are decadently embellished with Swarovski Crystal elements (over 315,000 of them used on the tour). Here, get an exclusive backstage look at how the sparkle all happens.
Arianne Phillips And Her Magnificent Obsession-------
"The other people in the exhibit, like Ed Harris, Todd Haynes, and Vittorio Storaro, these are heroes of mine and they are people who have informed my work. To think that I could even be considered in the same context as them is like winning ten Oscars, seriously," says acclaimed costume designer Arianne Phillips, whose Oscar-nominated creations for Madonna's film W.E. are included in the second series (out of three total) of the Persol Magnificent Obsessions: 30 Stories of Craftsmanship in Film exhibition at New York's Museum of the Moving Image, along with various notes, rare sketches, video interviews, and materials from films such as Amélie, Far From Heaven, The Last Emperor, and Million Dollar Baby. "It's both awesome and daunting—it feels a bit like we aren't in Kansas anymore," she says of being included in the project. Modest as she might be, the frequent Madonna collaborator and two-time Oscar nominee has earned her spot in the museum next to the nine other filmmaker greats, like special effects guru Douglas Trumbull and composer Ennio Morricone. Binding the elite group together is a story highlighting the obsessive workmanship behind some of film's most iconic moments. In the case of Phillips, it's her deep obsession with the transformative power of costume. Before heading to the museum last night, where Persol hosted a party to unveil the exhibition and honor Phillips, Patricia Clarkson, and Todd Haynes, the costume designer talked with Style.com yesterday afternoon about the W.E. artifacts that are now on display, working on Madonna's MDNA tour, and her own obsessions.
You created more than 60 different outfits just for Andrea Riseborough (who plays the legendary Wallis Simpson in the film). Tell me about some of the artifacts and materials from W.E. that made it into the exhibition.
Lucky for us, our director Madonna has an extensive archive of her own with a full-time archivist, so the costumes from the film are being preserved there. A lot of times when the film is over, you can't even find them because the costumes are being used for promotional purposes, but we have the costumes in perfect condition. There is a day dress (blue and white silk) that is not based on any dress Wallis actually wore. That's one of my favorite pieces, and there are a few dresses based on ones by Madeleine Vionnet, but there is also one of the Schiaparelli black and white crepe dresses, which is quite famous. Interestingly enough, one of the real ones is on display at the Met right now (for the Prada/Schiaparelli exhibit) and it's the exact same one I looked at in the costume archives when I was researching for this film and made our version (pictured, above). We also worked with Cartier and re-created jewelry pieces based on pieces the Duke and Duchess owned. They are actually going to be destroyed once this exhibition is over because just like a great painting, they can't have replicas sitting around. Trust me, Madonna and I have cried many times over this.
How closely did you work with the curator Michael Connor on selecting these pieces for the exhibit?
Michael came out to L.A. where I live, and when they first asked, I was really excited, especially for costume to be recognized in such a way. I am always looking to speak about costuming publicly because it's an aspect of filmmaking that is not completely understood. He really went out of his way to make sure I was involved every step of the way. We went through all my archives, which were pretty fresh because we only had finished filming a year ago. I was about as involved as you could get in putting this together.
How do these pieces fit into this overarching concept of obsession in the exhibition?
In terms of magnificent obsession, I leave that up to Michael Connor and Persol. I am obsessive about details, I really am and I admit it. But also, I worked with a director, Madonna, who (I worked with her over 15 years) is magnificently obsessed with details and that's very apparent in the film. I try to infuse those details into a costume to help the actor harness this character and help catapult the actor. Costumes really serve two purposes. Visually, they obviously form the character, and really enrich the viewer and help set a time and place. But also I believe it's equally important for the actor. Costumes should be a way to catapult an actor into a time and place. Those visceral, tactile aspects are equally important, like how the dresses felt on Andrea and how the suits felt on James D'Arcy.
Specifically, what elements of costume design do you obsess over?
You are speaking my language. I obsess about perfection every step of the way. I always feel there is more that can be done. I do a lot of research and I try to diversify it as much as possible and this film really tapped into that. And I obsess about the organization of it. I am always very obsessive about my presentation, I do elaborate presentations to the director and this helps my process and filters what will be valuable in the design process. I am really big on accessories and color and silhouette. I really want to know cinematically how a costume will work visually. And, I am obsessive about how costumes fit an actor. I guess there is no limit to obsession, really. That is the problem with obsession, it's a mind-set, it's a hindrance and an advantage. You have to know when is enough. Sometimes your first inspiration is your best inspiration. For me, obsession means going to whatever length possible to get the job done.

A while back we had posted a thread about the new Microsoft "Natal" interactive gaming system.
It will work with some of the Xbox 360 games.
According to this article the new Natal will come bundled with about 14 Wii type games.
After seeing prices on Xbox, PS3, and Wii, I was suprised at the cost for this new technology.
[img width=450 height=169]http://dvice.com/assets_c/2009/11/natal-thumb-500x188-28239.jpg[/img]
One of the comments gives some insight concerning this:Quote:
Microsoft's upcoming Project Natal add-on for the Xbox 360 is one of the most exciting and interesting new gaming peripherals to be announced in some time. So of course, news that it might just be cheaper than previously thought gets us excited.
According to MCV, a UK gaming magazine, Natal should launch in about a year, in November of 2010. And it might just cost somewhere between $50 and $80, coming bundled with 14 games. Sure, those games will be Wii Sports style minigames, but man, that's a great price for something that'll allow you to interact with your games in a whole new way.

Hey! I'm a student at University of North Texas. We just had a representative from Microsoft's public relations department come by today with the natal unit. I didn't get to see it personally but My Farvish Friend(whose not a DVICE reader) was telling me all about it. It scanned the persons body and it took a long time to set up a user profile. it got your height and other general info(not weight surprisingly) . The guy said that bill gates had the technology for several years and had it in his home so when he went from room to room the music would change with him/mood. Anyways its real and its close.

text: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background A previous Water Research Commission Project (WRC Report No: 1170/1/04) into the enzymology of solubilisation of municipal sewage sludge (Rhodes University BioSURE Process®) identified the involvement of a plethora of hydrolase enzymes such as phosphatases. sulphatases. proteases. Upases, endoglucanascs and glucosidases (Pletschke et al., 2004; Whiteley et al.. 2002; Enongene. et al. 2003; Ngesi. et al. 2002) isolated from a biosuiphidogenic reactor. Furthermore it was found that these enzymes could be used, in situ, to bioremediate effluents from acid mine drainage, tanneries and abattoirs. It is the intention of the current research to exploit this idea further and undertake a thorough investigation to show that hydrogenase enzymes, also found within the biosuiphidogenic reactor, could be used to bioremediate industrial waste effluent from the textile dye industry. Azo dyes are the most commonly used colouring compounds (Pearce et al.. 2003) and they were therefore used in this study to investigate the ability of sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) and associated cytoplasmic hydrogenase enzymes to degrade them under anaerobic conditions. Several advantages of using such a system are forthcoming: 1) Although the enzymes from the sulphidogenic bioreactors are produced under anaerobic conditions, they are perfectly able to work within an aerobic environment. 2) Using enzymes in a sulphidogenic environment supports that the sulphide produced would be strongly inhibitory' to the survival and proliferation of pathogens. 3) Biological (enzymatic) processes have an added advantage over traditional chemical/physical methods as they are regarded as "clean and green". 4) The high cost of industrial enzymes is prohibitively expensive and so the use of these enzymes, from the BioSURE Process®, is a cheap alternative and a tool for bioremediation. The novelty of our approach allows for the generation of the essential enzymes within a sulphidogenic bioreactor with a simultaneous in situ "one-pot" bioremediation of industrial effluent from the textile industry. Hypothesis and Objectives Hypothesis Enzymes generated within a sulphidogenic bioreactor were capable of totally decolouring and degrading textile dyes, both from an authentic commercial source and from the influents and effluents of a textile industry. in Objectives 1. To set up a laboratory scale biosulphidogenic reactor to generate the enzymes under study. 2. To extract various enzymes (a-glucosidase. p-glucosidase. lipasc. phosphatase. sulphatase. protease, celiulase. endoglucanases. hydrogenase. azoreductase) from the reactor. 3. To assay the enzymes and monitor their percent distribution. 4. To test the enzyme mixture on industrial effluents from the textile dye industry. 5. To establish a resource base in the enzvmologv of and industrial waste water treatment processes and to support cognate research areas in South Africa. 6. To promote student training and corporate technology collaboration to enhance wastewater management in South Africa. Outline of Approach The o\erall initial objective of the present study was to develop a powdered enzyme extract obtained from a biosulphidogenic reactor that would effective!) bioremediate industrial effluents such as paper and pulp, tanneries. oli\e mill, textile d>e. petroleum, abattoir, fishing, mining and wine distilling. Commercial enzymes are costly and so it would make this approach fairly favourable and cost effective. Furthermore, ordinary municipal sewage sludge, obtained through the Rhodes University Environmental Biotechnology Research Unit ( E B R D BioSURE Process'?, can be used as a prime source of carbon for the sulphate reducing bacteria that exist in the reactor. The idea of a "cocktail of enzymes" implies a bacterial cell-free powdered preparation of crude enzymes. Though the production and purification of several hydrolase enzymes (glucosidases. proteases, lipases) within this "cocktail of enzymes" has met with considerable success with respect to the defouling of membranes and the bioremediation of abattoir effluents, trials conducted using both the crude and purified hydrogenase on textile dye industrial effluents extracts were not successful. In the case of the hydrolases. the crude enzyme mixture is self sustaining and their respective reactions can occur without any necessary cofactors. With the textile dye effluent, however, it was necessary to reduce the azo -N-N-bond through the action of the hydrogenase enzyme. Since this initial reduction had not taken place it was felt that either the redov potentials in the reaction mixture were not favourable to facilitate azo bond cleavage or that specific and essential co-factors were absent in the purified samples. This led us to examine the SRB cells as a whole, or rather the SRB cells from within the BioSURE Process? sludge itself. We now report that this work has resulted in a complete decolourisation - and degradation - of the azo dves from within the textile dve industrial effluent. In view of the complex nature of both the industrial textile dve effluent and sewage sludge, it was decided to follow a four-level protocol investigation with various control reactions: IV 1) Use SRB that has been cultured on a 'pure" lactate medium; 2) Use SRB that have been cultured from BioSurc Process® sludge; 3) Use five authentic dyes (orange II. amido black 10. reactive black 5. reactive red 120. reactive blue 2) purchased from a commercial source; 4) Use various sources of influent and effluent from a textile dye industry either prior to the dyeing process or after dyeing and before the effluent had passed to the Environmental Treatment Plant. Results Following our success with a previous study that invoked the enzymology of sludge solubilisation using enzymes from a biosulphidogenic reactor, we decided to study a possibility that hydrogenases and/or azoreductases also present in the reactor could decolour and hence bioremediate industrial effluent from the textile dye industry. Consequently a batch reactor to produce the enzymes was set up. seeded with an inoculum of sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB). sulphate and a cheap source of carbon as sewage sludge from the Rhodes University BioSURH Process®. After stabilising the reactor and ensuring that it was operating maximally (by monitoring sulphate consumption, pi I. COD levels, sulphide production), methodology was established for optimum enzyme production and extraction. A time course survey was conducted to determine optima! time at which highest enzyme production occurred and this was found to be at six days. Sonication. of the SRB-Biomass. at low amplitude (10 W) for four minutes proved to be the best disruptive method for releasing the hydrogenases from the SRB. Induction studies were then undertaken with four commercial azo dyes (Orange II. Reactive Black 5. Amido Black 10 and Reactive Red 120) and one non-azo dye (Reactive Blue 2). to confirm firstly that the growth of sulphate reducing bacteria are not compromised in any way. and secondly that the yield of the enzymes could be increased in a shorter period of time. The presence of the azo dyes in the bioreactor increased the relative hydrogenase activity by up to 140% in 24h except the non-azo anthraquinone dye Reactive Blue 2 that failed to induce enzyme activity, even after 10 days of incubation. This was likely due to the structural moiety of the dye which did not stimulate the production of more enzymes. It was shown that the mono azo dye Orange II resulted in the highest enzyme production while the di-azo Reactive Black 5, Amido Black 10 and Reactive Red 120 resulted in 80% increase in enzyme activity in 24h. Corresponding decolonisation was also observed in the same order as for enzyme induction with the decolourisation of the mono azo dye being higher than that of the di-azo dyes. The threshold level of the dye concentration was determined to be in the range 100-500 mg.l' : higher concentrations resulted in limited decolourisation of the dyes (decolourisation was probably due to adsorption by the dead SRB cells). Lactate as a primary carbon source resulted in higher rate of decolourisation when compared to sludge from the BioSURE Process®. Purification and characterisation of the hvdrogenase enzymes using PEG to concentrate the enzyme was achieved by chromatography on Sephacryl S-200 and analysis of the fraction b> a 10% SDS-PAGE showed a distinct band with a molecular size of 38.5 kDa which is in the same magnitude as other hydrogenases purified from SRB. The hydrogenase operates optimally at a pll of 7.5 and temperature of 40°C but has poor thermal stability with 50% loss in activity in 32 minutes and 70% loss in activity within an hour under optimal conditions. Kinetic parameters Km and Vmax for methyl viologen as the substrate were determined. Absorbance spectra of the industrial textile reactive dye mixtures and their respective effluents revealed several maximum absorbance peaks ranging from 215-625 nm. thereby revealing the presence of different reactive dyes as specified by the textile company (Da Gama Textiles. King William's Town, South Africa). After characterisation of the dyes, and effluents, they were then degraded by SRB under anaerobic conditions. Four industrial textile dye samples were tested - two influents, that consisted of a pre-dye mixture and another that is "fixed" with caustic soda and silicates and two effluents, consisting of a vat print rinse and a final effluent (after all of the dyeing processes) just prior to passing into the Environmental Treatment Plant (ETP). Decolourisation of 9 3 % and 72% for the influent dye mixture and the dye mixture plus silicate salts, respectively, were observed. While the primary function of these salts is to facilitate dye-fabric interaction, their presence, downstream, inhibits the bio-catalytic action of enzymes during effluent treatment and as such uould need to be removed or diluted to levels that don't affect bioremediation of the effluent. Successful decolourisation of both commercial dyes and industrial effluents with SRB-BioSURE Process® sludge was achieved with decolourisations ranging from 96-49% over a five da\ period. The process of decolourisation for each of the dyes can be monitored by a decrease in absorbance at the X.max of the inherent chromophore. This is supported by a reduction of the azo link into two colourless aromatic amine compounds. At the same time as there is a decrease in absorbance of the dye in the visible region (480-610 nm) there is an increase in the absorbance at 280 nm. reflecting an increase in concentration of single aromatic amines. With an extended period of time, there was a subsequent decrease in the absorbance at 280 nm indicating that the aromatic amines had been degraded further, perhaps by some other unknown factors, into CO2- H2O and NH3. Both of the influent and effluent samples followed similar trends to the authentic dyes in that: 1) There was decolourisation of the d\e(s). monitored by a decrease of absorbance in the visible region (480-610 nm). 2) There was an increase in absorbance at 280 nm due to an increase in aromatic amines. 3) There was subsequent decrease in absorbance at 280 nm due to a total breakdown of these aromatic compounds. VI As a control measure, the effect of a 'pure" culture of SRB (using lactate medium as a carbon source) on both authentic dyes and on the various influents and effluents from the textile industry was studied. The time taken to degrade the dyes using SRB from BioSURE Process® sludge in the sulphidogenic bioreactor was much longer than if the SRB were used from a "pure* culture. It is interesting to reiterate that with 'pure' SRB from a culture on lactate medium there was very little breakdown of the single aromatic compounds as the absorbance at 280 nm remained fairly significant. This was evident with both authentic dyes and industrial samples. With SRB from the BioSURE Process® sludge there was complete degradation and a subsequent removal of the aromatic compounds absorbing at 280 nm. It supports other factors, within the sulphidogenic reactor, that may be responsible for complete degradation. It is hypothesised that an anaerobic degradation of the dyes into their constituent aromatic amines followed by an aerobic degradation into CO2. H2O and NH3. With the "pure" SRB system this doesn't happen. Though each bioreactor is different on any particular day and consequently the yield and activity of the hydrogenase enzyme varies, the amount o( sludge required to completely decolour a specific volume of textile effluent can be estimated. For example if the enzyme activity per ml of sulphidogenic sludge is estimated at 2200 umol.min" then 1 kg of sludge (1000 ml) would decolour 2.2 mols of azo dye (770 grams Orange 11) in one minute. Recommendation Purified hydrolase enzymes, extracted from a sulphidogenic bioreactor can be concentrated into a dried powdered cocktail preparation, using established concentration techniques. Though this powdered extract was suitable to bioremediate certain abattoir effluents and acid mine drainage they failed to decolour and degrade dyes from the textile industry. It is the recommendation from this project that in order to completely decolour and degrade the azo dyes from an industrial waste effluent a dried powdered extract of SRB-BioSURE Process® sludge from a biosulphidogenic reactor, including all of the necessary enzymes and cofactors in situ be used. vi 1

Please note however that the methods below require that you have administrative privileges on your computer. If you are in a restricted environment you likely won't be able to follow them.
Method 1: Access xvideos.com directly by IP address (using hosts file)
On the Internet computers communicate with each other using numerical identifiers called IP addresses. Before your computer can talk to xvideos.com server it needs to obtain xvideos.com's IP address. A great deal of website blockers work by interfering with this process and misleading your computer about what xvideos.com's IP address is.
To bypass this type of blocking you can configure your computer to always use a predefined IP address when accessing xvideos.com. In order to do that, you need to edit the so called hosts file. On Windows it's "C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts". On Mac OS X it's "/etc/hosts". Open this file with a text editor (Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on Mac OS X) and append the following lines to it:
126.96.36.199 img100-836.xvideos.com 188.8.131.52 img100-197.xvideos.com 220.127.116.11 img100-010.xvideos.com 188.8.131.52 img100-162.xvideos.com 184.108.40.206 img100-902.xvideos.com 184.108.40.206 img100-831.xvideos.com 188.8.131.52 img100-978.xvideos.com 188.8.131.52 xvideos.com 18.104.22.168 img100-949.xvideos.com 188.8.131.52 img100-850.xvideos.com 220.127.116.11 img100-891.xvideos.com 188.8.131.52 img100.xvideos.com 126.96.36.199 img100-190.xvideos.com 18.104.22.168 www.ant.com 220.127.116.11 www.rtalabel.org 18.104.22.168 static.xvideos.com 18.104.22.168 img100-399.xvideos.com 126.96.36.199 img100-097.xvideos.com 188.8.131.52 www.xvideos.com 18.104.22.168 img100-736.xvideos.com 188.8.131.52 img100-681.xvideos.com 18.104.22.168 upload.xvideos.com 220.127.116.11 img100-066.xvideos.com 18.104.22.168 img100-290.xvideos.com 22.214.171.124 img100-833.xvideos.com 22.214.171.124 img100-546.xvideos.com 22.214.171.124 img.xnxx.com 184.108.40.206 img100-632.xvideos.com 22.214.171.124 img100-250.xvideos.com 220.127.116.11 twitter.com 220.127.116.11 img100-188.xvideos.com 22.214.171.124 www.trafficfactory.biz 126.96.36.199 ajax.googleapis.com 188.8.131.52 img100-324.xvideos.com 126.96.36.199 img100-735.xvideos.com 220.127.116.11 img100-904.xvideos.com 184.108.40.206 img100-516.xvideos.com 18.104.22.168 img100-191.xvideos.com 220.127.116.11 forum.xnxx.com 126.96.36.199 img100-163.xvideos.com 220.127.116.11 img100-393.xvideos.com 188.8.131.52 multi.xnxx.com 188.8.131.52 img100-060.xvideos.com 22.214.171.124 img100-962.xvideos.com 126.96.36.199 img100-591.xvideos.com 22.214.171.124 info.xvideos.com 22.214.171.124 img100-692.xvideos.com 220.127.116.11 img100-416.xvideos.com 22.214.171.124 www.adobe.com 126.96.36.199 img100-714.xvideos.com 220.127.116.11 img100-307.xvideos.com
(NOTE: Your computer usually needs to talk to several servers to display a modern web page. We have scanned xvideos.com and built the list of servers it uses which is why there's more than one line in the list above.)
Method 2: Use a VPN
VPN is the most efficient and robust block bypass method, but it might also take you more work to set up and may cost some amount of money. However if you often need to access the net from behind a blocker and care about your privacy and security it's well worth the effort and money.
If you are willing to invest a few dollars a month into a stable and secure VPN connection, check out our VPN partner ZenVPN

Terras up for tough opening
8:43am Friday 10th August 2012 in Sport By Adam Summers
JAKE Richmond has shrugged off his side's difficult start to the season by claiming the Terras are capable of matching anyone the Magna Dorset Premier League has to offer.
Weymouth face a tough opening four games which will see them pit their wits against Wincanton Town, Portland United, Holt Uni-ted and Chickerell United, but their joint-boss reckons they have nothing to be afraid of.
Richmond said: "Wincan-ton away is probably the toughest opening fixture we could have got.
"They battered us at their place at the start of last season but in the return game it was 2-0 and we pushed them all the way.
"With the likes of Port-land, Holt and Chickerell to come in the opening two weeks as well it is a tough start, there is no doubt about that, but it is not about results for us it is about performances.
"With the squad we have I am confident we can give anyone in this division a run for their money and one thing is for sure no one will have the legs on us. They may have more experience but they won't be able to match us for energy.
"I also think we are going into this season with our eyes wide open whereas last year Nick Bennett (joint-boss) and I were perhaps a little naive.
"We know what the league is all about now and I have no doubts we will be a lot more competitive."
New signings Liam Great-rex, Sanchez Jansz-Baker, Andy Hind and Louis Smith are all in the squad for tomorrow's trip to Wincan-ton along with Jamie Fram-pton and Eddy Mitchell, who are only available until the end of next month due to university commitments.
Weymouth finished 12th last season while United came fourth, just seven points adrift of the top two.
Terras (from): Perry, Sharpe, Anstey, Frampton , Holland, Mitchell, Greatrex, Head, Morley, Winsper, Jansz-Baker, Hind, Zima, McCallister, Smith, Harvey.

Egypt allows building material into Gaza
Shipment of Qatari-paid material was made in consultation with Israel, says official
Al Arish, Egypt: Thousands of tons of building materials such as cement and steel began crossing into the Gaza Strip on Saturday, Egyptian and Palestinian officials said, temporarily easing a five-year blockade on the coastal territory.
An Egyptian security official said shipment was made in consultation with Israeli officials, who were in Cairo on Thursday to discuss security in the Sinai Peninsula and the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire agreed upon by Gaza's Hamas rulers and Israel last month. The Egyptian official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media.
The director of Gaza's border authority, Maher Abu Sabha, confirmed that a total of 20 trucks carrying materials were expected to arrive in the coastal strip on Saturday through the Rafah border crossing.
Qatar is paying for the raw materials that were bought in Egypt, the official added.
The tiny oil-rich Gulf country has pledged 24 projects worth some $425 million (Dh1.56 billion) in the Gaza Strip to improve crumbling housing, schools, a hospital and roads.
Under former President Hosni Mubarak, Israel's longtime ally, Egypt had poor relations with Hamas, and teamed up with Israel to blockade Gaza after the militant group seized power from its rival Fatah in 2007, two years after winning elections.
While Israel has eased the blockade in recent years, key restrictions remain in place on exports out of Gaza and the entry of badly needed building materials and other goods into the territory.
New Egyptian President Mohammad Mursi, of Hamas' parent group the Muslim Brotherhood, has vowed not to abandon the Palestinians. Unlike Mubarak in late 2008, Mursi kept the border crossing with the Gaza Strip open for movement of people and humanitarian supplies during Israel's latest offensive in November. Gaza has yet to fully recover from the two offensives, which left buildings, homes and schools in rubble.
Mursi reiterated in a nationwide speech on Saturday that the Palestinian issue is important to Egyptians.
Since the blockade was first imposed, an extensive network of tunnels between Egypt and Gaza have been ferrying everything from cars to food to essential household items to Palestinians.
While Egypt has launched periodic crackdowns on the tunnels, its security forces generally ignore the movement of construction materials, fuel and consumer goods through what Palestinians consider an underground lifeline.

i have duplicate and unintended fotos I'd like to delete. how ?
Once you are logged in, you should be able to hover over "edit" and then you should get the option to "delete album"...which you click on, then you confirm by clicking on "ok". Hope that helps.
thx for reply. it seems tho it wont let me delete the photo album. just says i cant because it contains info comments etc,.
Okay Jeff, I peeked at your 2 photo albums. One has 2 photos, I see no comments or other info. The other has 1 photo, I see no comments or other info. Maybe if you tell me which one you want deleted, I can try to delete it or ask one of the site landlords to do so. Sorry for the trouble. Thanks.
The one that says " don't ask". embarrassing. thx for your help.
Jeff, I see that I get the same error message. So, I bumped it up to Nick or Andy to look at. Sorry.
Andy did it. He deleted the photo first, then the album. Sorry, not enough sleep of late.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Jared Allen's hit on Lance Louis knocked the Chicago Bears guard out for the rest of the season and earned the Minnesota Vikings defensive end plenty of scorn from his division rivals.
It also earned him a fine from the NFL.
Allen was fined $21,000 for the hit on Wednesday, according to a person with knowledge of the punishment who spoke on condition of anonymity because the league had not announced the fine.
Allen hit Louis with a block after an interception by Antoine Winfield. Louis didn't see Allen coming, and his leg stuck in the turf on the hit and tore the ACL in his left knee. Several Bears, including coach Lovie Smith, said they thought the hit was unnecessary and dirty.
"We have an injured player right now based on it," Smith said this week. "I think he could have gotten blocked a little bit differently, but that's about all I can probably say about it."
Allen was unavailable for comment on Wednesday, but said after the game he never intended to injure Louis.
"I never, ever try to intentionally hurt anybody," Allen said after the 28-10 loss to the Bears. "Just trying to make a block and spring our guys down sidelines. That's unfortunate."
Some wondered if the hit would earn Allen a suspension, but he's never had the reputation as a dirty player and has earned admiration across the league for his charitable work with wounded veterans. Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he had great respect for Allen, both as a player and a person.
"I just think personally I have a lot of respect for him as I've got to know him," Rodgers said. "I appreciate not only the way he plays on the field, and he plays hard and between the whistles, but especially the stuff that he does off the field with his foundation for the Wounded Warriors, that's just a very classy thing."
The Houston Texans selected defensive end Jadeveon Clowney first overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.

I don't know why, but I'm always really interested by what people have to say about our chances this year.. I have us #4 in my personal power rankings, behind SEA, DEN, and SF. Please fill out the poll below, then post your predicted record in the comments section! I'd love to get any feedback, since I'm a bit of an optimist. I look forward to seeing how our rankings differ/are alike. (If you rank the Packers below #4, please list all teams that you ranked above us as well. #4 generally implies that you are ranking SEA, DEN and SF ahead of us. If that is not the case, please feel free to note it in the comments section.)
Note: SuperGramps believes that the Packers should be first in the power rankings, and therefore contests my ballot. #1 is now an option on the poll.
