text: The Making of a Perfect Storage Unit Finding it difficult to store your old books, family heirlooms and furniture? Well, storing is definitely not a sign for trouble for storage facilities. They can tell you exactly how to store your belongings without causing them any harm. However, finding that perfect storage unit can be an intimidating task. This is especially true, when you are not familiar with the complete list of characteristics and options available. Let us look at some of the pointers that can help in choosing a unit that suits the needs and requirements:- 1. Assess your needs and requirements: Before you begin to move your stuff from one place to the other it is best to first assess all of your storage needs and requirements. Once you know what all needs to be stacked away you will be able to choose a local storage facility accordingly. 2. Evaluate the time: Evaluate for how much time you would require the storage space. There may be chances of you getting a concession if in case you choose a certain plan or scheme. 3. Calculate the room space: Assess how much room you would need. A lot of people end up dumping things in the warehouse without realising they could have saved money by renting the required room, rather than overloading the space. 4. Access to the storeroom: How often will you need to access the warehouse? Some provide you with the option of 24/7 accessibility while some don't. So, depending upon your needs, you can choose what fits in best. 5. Climate-Controlled Units: Do you intend storing anything that is sensitive to change in temperature or humidity? If so, register for a climate-controlled storage unit. For example, items like wedding attire, leather, fur, paintings, film roles, photographs; antiques, etc need special attention and have special storage facilities. Almost all storage facilities provide safety and security. But, just in case, you are looking for additional security for your valuables you can search for units that provide surveillance cameras, alarms, guards, etc. So, stop running down the basement every time you need to find something and invest in a storage unit. It will help you amass all your goods and items in one centralized location and you will also be within reach anytime anywhere. They will be handy and make things a lot easier when it comes to storing all forms of belongings ranging from your personal stuff to commercial stuff.

Mildred L. Bleeke, 95, of Decatur, passed away at 11:50 a.m. on Monday, August 20, 2012, at her residence.
She was born on Thursday, July 15, 1917, in Adams County, to the late William and Sophie (Bieberich) Weber.
Mildred married Edward G. Bleeke on December 9, 1939; he passed away September 3, 1997.
She was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church, rural Decatur, and was a homemaker.
Just in time for the big weekend of the Festival of the Kekionga, which honors our heritage, a seeming part of our "heritage" may be gone.
Those orange "Road Construction Ahead", "End Construction" and other such signs which have begun to seem to be a part of the city's heritage will be removed on Friday. At least that's what an Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) representative told Decatur Street/Sanitation Superintendent Jeremy Gilbert on Tuesday.
Two Chinese businessmen left Decatur on Tuesday after spending all of Monday and part of Tuesday touring the city, Mayor John Schultz said at Tuesday night's meeting of city council.
They were escorted by the mayor and Adams County Economic Development Director Larry Mackin to view operations at Fleetwood, Gold Shield and Bunge North America.
Other local officials attended a dinner held Monday night at Adams Memorial Hospital.
Taste of Decatur will be held Thursday as part of the annual Kekionga Festival and the city's new Sculpture Walk.
Taste will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. at the courthouse square in downtown Decatur.
Five local establishments will serve small portions from their menu, with offerings ranging from 50 cents to $2. The five:
The Back 40 Junction,1011 N. 13th St., to serve smoked beef brisket sandwiches, strawberry shortcake, fresh strawberry lemonade.

I bought a 35 qt. turkey fryer for brewing, and was looking around for ideas for trub and hops separation.
My first idea was to use a pizza screen as a press (like a bodum coffee press), isolate the hops and other undesirables, and siphon from above the screen. I should be able to get a fairly snug fit by using some sliced 1/4 teflon tubing around the edge of the screen for a seal.
The fryer came with a perforated basket. I then got thinking about lining this with some fine screen and leaving it in for my boil, then lifting everything out in one pull.
Has anyone tried any of these methods before?
I like the second idea but it's gonna be a pain to clean. You could use hop bags. You'll still have break material but it's nothing like all the hop sludge you get from pellets.
The only thing I'd be concerned with is trapping wort from circulating during the boil. If you get an area of stagnation under your filter, you'll scorch badly.
Yes, that is a concern. The basket sits right on the bottom of the pot. There is very little space (maybe two millimeters around the outside), but I'll have to think about that. The basket holes are slightly smaller than a dime, and would be covered with mesh.
That size pot is still small enough to pick up and pour through a strainer. That might be easier.
That's possible too. I wanted to siphon it through my chiller, but I've still got a few options. I could use some standoffs with the basket and get rid of a good portion of hops, whirlpool the rest and siphon the wort through my chiller, let it drop through a strainer to filter the rest and aerate. Or drop the basket altogether. I picked up a couple pizza pans cheap, and I may try the press option.
You plan on using a copper or stainless racking cane right? Don't try a plastic one.
You've got a counterflow or plate chiller?
I've tried several things. The thing that works the best, with both a kettle you're going to siphon from or a kettle with a pickup tube is a fine mesh bag. Here's what I'm using now. You either need to use a step coupling, or put a big rubber band or something for the hose clamp to bite into.

As such, initiatives related to neuromotor screening and global motor delays are a priority area for the Program to Enhance the Health and Development of Infants and Children (PEHDIC)—a cooperative agreement between the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Related Policy Identifying Infants and Young Children with Developmental Disorders in the Medical Home: An Algorithm for Developmental Surveillance and Screening Motor Delays: Early Identification and Evaluation Providing a Primary Care Medical Home for Children and Youth with Cerebral Palsy The Medical Home Understanding the Need for Clinical Guidance Regarding Neuromotor Screening: Physician and Primary Care Provider EducationThe AAP convened an Expert Panel focused on improving early detection of motor delays and examining current provider practices regarding medical work-up of children identified with global delays. Information gathered from focus groups and a Quality Improvement Innovation Networks (QuIIN) survey of primary care providers documented the need for clinical guidance regarding the identification, workup, and referral of children with possible neuromotor problems or delays. The focus groups revealed that many pediatricians often concentrate on developmental screening for social-emotional concerns such as autism, paying less attention to motor delays. To address this need, the first activity of the Expert Panel was to develop a clinical report.Motor Delays: Early Identification and EvaluationThe AAP clinical report, Motor Delays: Early Identification and Evaluation, and accompanying algorithm, was published in the June 2013 issue of Pediatrics to guide pediatricians in the screening and workup of children with suspected motor delays. Specifically, the report offers guidance regarding children who demonstrate motor delays and variations in muscle tone, and contains an accompanying clinical decision algorithm to inform care provision. Subsequent physician and provider education opportunities are in development utilizing this clinical report.Video VignettesTraining Advertising Disclaimer Related Information Analysis Shows Bias in Publication of Drug Studies for Autism The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) highlights an April 24, 2012, study in Pediatrics that examined analysis of drug studies for autism. AAP Agrees With IOM Report on Safety of Vaccine Schedule Today's report from the IOM should reassure parents that the recommended childhood immunization schedule is safe and provides the best protection for children from infectious diseases, according to the AAP. Children Neglected in Clinical Drug Trials The American Academy of Pediatrics highlights a April 28, 2012 study on Drug Trials being released at the Pediatric Academic Societies 2012 Annual Meeting AAP Speaking Points: Scope of Practice Issues in the Delivery of Pedicatric Health Care The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) offers speaking points on the scope of practice issues in the delivery of pediatric health care.

"Tiger Woods is not Black"
According to George Carlin, Tiger Woods is not black, skin color has nothing to do with it. I believe Carlin thought he was black. Pipe smokers should just suck d#@k, People who walk around listening to walkmans are arrogant pricks. As I was walking my dog listening to Carlin on my headphones, thinking about smoking my pipe when I got home, I found this a strange way to start out a book. Oh just before that he talked how other comedians where idiots who had hope and always offered advice to fix things and how they are political and he is not. I then listened to seven hours of how he could make the world better and his views on politics. He starts out by pretty much bashing everybody. He thinks people in the midwest are soft and boring, the people in the South are all bigots, etc. The only ones worth a sh@t are the New Yorkers, cause they live everyday knowing they can get mugged.
Ignoring the constant put downs, negativity, and trying to make himself seem different by just saying off the wall things he thinks might piss someone off, I find him to be very, very funny and smart. (Although anybody can bitch, that does not take smarts.) I love almost all his routines on the English language and how Americans use them. Like the routine about getting on an Airplane. He is getting in, not on and all the terms used in flying, like the Terminal, etc. I love how he describes baseball, how he feels about those who want to save the planet, his comments on dogs, prostitution, time, germs, what true sports are, cats, etc.
He puts down yuppies (he who wore a pony tail for how long?), businessmen, people with money, (he was probably a millionaire), whites (he who was lily white), anyone who lives anyplace other then New York ( he moved to California). He calls several people arrogant, yet to be a comedian or a writer don't you have to believe you are so important other people will pay to hear you or buy your books or buy the audible versions of your books that you read. When your busy being arrogant and putting everyone else down it is hard to see your own faults.
I gave this four stars, cause he is entertaining and gives you plenty to think about. You just need to be prepared to have your self put down in some way, it will happen, brush it off and listen to what he really has to say.
The strong part of this book was the characters. Irvine did a great job giving each character his own personality. Not once was it hard to think of the apes as intelligent sentient beings. The humans had good guys and bad guys and so did the apes. This added depth to the story and the characters were very believable. I was surprised in how little action their was. I guess that is due to taking a two hour movie and turning it into a 9 hour book. It also had a very slow beginning and I came close to giving up on it early. The longer I stayed with it the better it got and the more I wanted to hear the outcome.
There were some weakness, probably due more to the movie, then to Irvine. At times it gets a little sappy, with the all the friend talk. It is a little preachy at times. One glaring mistake was an ape picking up a ten year old video camera and it having enough battery power for him to watch himself recorded ten years earlier. Throughout the book we are told it has been ten years since anything has worked and then this video camera has a battery that works? There is a big war scene were the apes attack on horses. Bombs are going off, rpg's, guns, grenades and even a tank and yet these horses do not react. I am not a horse expert, but I believe war horses have to go through extensive training to not react to all the noise and apes who have never been in a war before would not have that knowledge. THE APES HAD WORKED LIKE DOGS
Christen Rummel does an excellent job. I gave the story a four star review and I felt CR's narration was strong enough to raise the overall to Five Stars.
Like most everyone else I listened to Room and loved it. Like I usually do I searched for another recording of Donoguhe, after listening to the CD. All books audible has by her have low ratings and not so good reviews. I have a promise to myself to not waste a credit on books with low ratings, so I ignored her for a time. Finally I took a chance on this collection of short stories. It is less then seven hours long and they are short stories, so my mental investment was not that long.
The very first story was Man and Boy. It was a story about an actual man in history and an actual elephant. I am an animal lover and this was a sort of love story between a man and an elephant. I also love historical fiction. This was a great story. All of these stories are based on something in history. Sometimes it was one line in a newspaper in which Emma draws a whole story. Sometimes it is a more in depth knowledge of the historical facts and sometimes it is totally made up, using the facts of the time, such as Snow Blind, which is about the Gold Rush. After each and every story you are told how she came up with the story, so you will know how much is fact and how much is fiction. At the end of the book is an Afterword, which explains the reason for the whole book and it's name Astray.
Emma also brings out some interesting events, which will surprise you. There are stories about gays, cross dressers, tough women, and one involving rape. In one story an adult woman does not find out till after her dad dies, that he was a woman. This is based on historical records. One story is about a man's struggle with his religion, sin and his own sexual desires. There are 14 stories and an afterword. I would give an A grade to four of the stories. I listen and read lots of short story collections and to have that many stories that I would rank that high is very rare. Several stories are average, but none of the stories are awful to listen to. I have found that I like ED's style of writing and regardless of the low ratings, I will take a chance on another of her books.
The narrators are excellent.
This came within a hair's breath of getting a 5th star from me. If I was a military sci-fi lover it would have, but I am not a fan of endless shoot-em ups, which is what chapters 10-13 are. Other then that it is a pretty good story, certainly entertaining. It has good character development and I have already bought the sequel. It does not really have anything new, but some old favorites done well.
It's a dystopian future, were most of the country is on welfare. There is the beloved boot camp chapters, a sort of love story, a reenactment of Black Hawk Down, and even Godzilla. It is worth your credit.
Narrator is good.
"Used to be a short story"
This sounds like it would make a good book. It is unusual of Jim "The Impatient" to say something should be longer, but this seems like you came into the middle of something. I wanted to know what happened before and what was going to happen after. The concept is, that there is a group of beings with animal and plant genes in them and they are made in a lab. The are not considered human and are treated like slaves. They end up rebelling.
The narrators are good and the sound is real good, especially in stero. You will hear talking in one hear and shots in the other ear. The biggest problem is many times it is hard to hear what the narrator is saying, because of the surrounding noise. That was very annoying.
I bought this, cause I wanted to listen to stuff out of the Science Fiction/ Fantasy, short story and anthology category. I noticed that it was shrinking. I did not notice how many where in it when I first joined in 2010, but I do know a little over a year ago there where about 79 choices. The numbers kept falling and when I bought this the number was 39. That was five months ago. As of today this is no longer in that category and there are only 22 items in that category. I wrote audible about this over a year ago. I complained that if you just want to search short stories or anthologies, that you have to scan through the thousands of books in Science Fiction/ Fantasy. Their own yearly Science Fiction Best Stories are not even in there. None of the many John Joseph Adams collections are included. About the only thing in there are Gaiman shorts. I am a big fan of Science Fiction short collections, but it is too daunting to go through the tens of thousand of books available in the main category and seems stupid since there is a separate category set up just for anthologies.
If you agree with me please write Audible. They have ignored me.
Kids will enjoy this, but most will not understand it. I enjoyed the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show as a kid, but did not understand the adult messages. This is full of a lot of abstract ideas, such as The Nothing and a creature who is a voice only. This was the top selling children's book for three years in Germany.
Movie ends in the middle.
One main difference between the book and the movie is the main character. In the movie he is a normal looking boy. In the book he is fat and sort of dumb. He is an outcast who is made fun of a lot. This was an important part of the first part of the book, but Americans could not handle a fat hero. The movies stops in the middle of the book and in my opinion that is were the book should have stopped. In the second part of the book the main character gets skinny and becomes a super hero. I think the story was heading toward the message that no matter what we have we want more. A good message, but I was getting pretty bored. The first part of the book was four stars, but the second part was two and heading down. The second half seems to lack a plot.
The narrator is good, but I also had trouble with the volume. There are characters who talk softly, so softly you can not hear them.
You might enjoy listening to this with your children, but I don't think as an adult by yourself it will be as good.
Yes, I will admit that I was drawn to this because of the cover. The girl is fairly plain looking, but you put a veil on her and have her topless and I will notice, mostly have her naked. I then read the reviews and at the time it was five stars from one customer. I bought it.
I found all seven stories to be interesting and comparable to Steve Vernon. Course you probably don't know who he is either. These are basically off the wall stories with sex and violence and open ended finishes. Anderson leaves it up to you to image what happens to these characters after the stories. These are stories about the lower end of society (similar to Rowland's White Trash novels.) These people live in apartments or trailer homes. They drive beat up old cars and go to the Laundromat. None of the stories were great and none were bad. The last story is mostly porn and I mean hard core porn.
Andersen Prunty narrated his own work. One reviewer hated his narration. It was obviously amateurish, but I did not have a problem with it. No story has more then two characters, except the last one has three, so doing different voices was not a problem. Prunty was probably just trying to save money and get his stuff out there. He wrote it, so he should know how he wants it read.
Just like the last Lansdale I read, this started out like a Mark Twain novel. THAT WAS THE SIZE OF IT AND I PUT IT ON TO WEAR. Once you get to know the characters it sounds similar to True Grit. Then it turned very very dark. Like a J.A. Konrath novel the killing and explicit torture just would not stop. lansdale wants you to understand why the main good character, Jack Parker, agreed to killing the bad guys instead of capturing them. I thought the point was made fairly early on and the continued body count and descriptive tortures could have ended much sooner. I really like Lansdale's writing and think he is extremely intelligent and witty. I think he should have more confidence in his writing and know when to stop the rubber necking. I KNOW HOW THE HORSE ATE THE APPLE.
One of JRL's talents is coming up with interesting characters. I also like how he includes the black man in most of his writings. This is my fourth writing of his to enjoy and all have had black men included in the main characters. This stars Jack Parker (IT IS BETTER TO BE DEAD THEN RED IN THE HEAD.), who is very similar to the female lead in True Grit. Eustace, the grave digger, is part Comanche, black, and white. The Comanches COULD TRACK A FART UNDER A ROCK IN A RIVER. Shorty is a dwarf, who is well educated, often called a midget and tends to lecture a lot and who kicks serious ass. Jimmie Sue is a whore, who takes Jack's virginity and wants to marry him. I WANTED TO GROW UP TO BE A PRINCESS, INSTEAD I AM A WHORE. Then there is the six hundred pound hog and I just loved grandpa. Those are the good guys. The bad guys are Cut Throat Billy, Fatty and Nigger Pete.
The narrator is excellent and makes listening a better experience then reading the book.
It is black or white on rather you will love or hate this book, and you will do one of the two. If you enjoy slasher movies and/or you are the type to pay extra to see the freaks at the circus, you will love this. If you do not enjoy such things you will hate this. I'M SURROUNDED BY FREAKS.
If you are still reading then you will love this, so how does this compare to other Konrath scary books? I have read three of Konrath's science fiction books and this is my third scary or dark book. This is a five star book, but I did like Trapped best and then Afraid and then this. I'm sure I should not admit to it, but I have always been fascinated by inbreeding and the results. X-Files has an episode involving an inbreeding family that I liked a lot. Due to Man's silly belief that leadership is in the blood, we have several examples of inbreeding throughout our history with the Kings and Queens and Pharaohs. The premise for this story is a family who has Roosevelt blood and believes they can breed a new president. Through most of the book I was shocked and grossed out, but I will admit toward the end, it did get to the point of enough already. Konrath got to the point where he was just coming up with all the weird oddities he could think up and the story got a bit redundant. I also did not find the Mountain Lion scary, nor did I think it fit into the story that well. I realize that Mountain Lions are nothing to be messed with, but it was just a regular everyday mountain lion.
You can not compare Konrath to Koontz or King, these guys have totally different styles. King and Koontz write scary mess with your head stuff, sometimes with character development and usually a political message. Konrath writes dark, gory, shocking stuff, without character development or any messages. He is just trying to entertain.
The narrator is very good. He does have to do several red necks and many of them do sound the same, but this is not a character driven story, so it did not matter. I did not think when he was doing the regular narration and not doing characters, that he needed to stay in the red neck voice and it would have sounded better if he had not done so. Just my thought and it was certainly not done to the point of distraction.
This is a great book that should appeal to several different people. The first reason it will appeal to most is that fact that it is so well written. I am Jim, The Impatient, but I listened to all 21+ hours. It is a coming of age story, history of South Africa, history with references to Hitler and it has lots of boxing. Not knowing that much about South Africa, I felt I learned much. I got some of the perspective of how the Germans felt about the English before the War and I learned about APARTHEID.
Peekay, starts life out fairly rough. He is sent to border school at the age of five. He is the youngest there. A bully makes a habit of picking on him right from the start. Some of the torture this small boy goes through can be hard to take. To help him through it, he has a pet rooster. The first person to really treat Peekay with any kindness is a boxer. Peekay watches this man fight early on and this changes his life. For the rest of his life, his goal is to become welter weight champion of the world. Peekay's tough childhood and the kindness of the boxer, strengthen him and establishes his character. The strength of his character and they strong friendships he makes is the rest of the book. It is all very intelligently written and entertaining.
This is a real good story on how the blacks where treated at this time. This alone makes the book valuable. Peekay makes friends with several blacks and becomes a hero to the people. I will agree with another reviewer and it did bother me and that is, what a shame that we have a white man hero. I would like to read a book where a black man becomes a hero. The statement of The Presumption of the white man also reminded me of a time in my childhood. When I was in fourth grade I knew nothing about South Africa, then a girl moved to our town from South Africa. One day she showed beautiful pictures of the country and talked about South Africa. She mentioned something about the crime and the worry of blacks raping whites. Only knowing what I had seen on tv about Africa and thinking of all of Africa as one country, I asked about all the naked black women. She commented to me "Everybody knows white flesh is more desirable then black flesh." She said it like I was an idiot. WE ARE OF THE EARTH, THAT IS WHY WE ARE THE COLOR OF THE EARTH.
The narrator is good and makes the listening better then the reading.
This is not a bad book and it is also not a great book. It was interesting enough that I listened to the whole thing. It is a little rougher then any other Robin Hood story I have ever read. Robin Hood ends up doing a lot of killing. While this is probably more real then the cartoon Robin Hood, the scenes were not that well done. For Example a woman bites off a man's penis, while it is hard and there is no blood. I did not see that coming and thought it added some realism to the time and place, but was disappointed that it was cleaned up to the point of not being real. There are other problems, too many things just happen to fall in place. Robin Hood is a lot like Jack Lord was on the old Hawaii Five-0. If he says What If?, you can take it to the bank that is the way it is going to happen. I also had problems with a character who is all broke up, over his dead family from three years ago, but does not realize, his then five year old daughter is still alive. Hood happens to discover her when he goes to this guy's hometown. He just has a hunch he will find something that will make the guy want to live, and lo and behold he finds his now 8 year old daughter.
I like the historical aspect of the story and I felt I was in old England. He did a good job of showing how oppressed the people where and why. While McKay is not a Michael J. Sullivan or Joe Abercrombie, he can write.
Once again, I disagree with others on the narrator. This guy has a lilt at the end of each sentence which makes it sound like he is reading a nursery rhyme. He also has a sort of deadpan delivery during action scenes, which is a great let down to the action. He is not bad enough to ruin the book, I just believe a better narrator could have made this more exciting.

Brazilian Blowout has released a misleading statement declaring that, when tested, "exposure levels to cosmetologists and clients considered safe." We'll post the statement below, then I'll take you through my analysis:
I have no problem with the testing itself. From what I can gather, HSA is a reputable company and I'm sure their testing methods were absolutely above board.
However, everything in this test hinges upon one singular thing: the bottle of Brazilian Blowout solution itself.
Let's review: bottles of Brazilian Blowout solution have been found in both the US and Canada that were labelled formaldehyde-free and yet which contained 8%, 10%, 12%, etc. formaldehyde. This is an undisputed fact . Whether all bottles of Brazilian Blowout contain formaldehyde at those varying levels of significance is to be determined.
Brazilian Blowout is spinning all manner of paranoid conspiracy theories: there's a witch hunt, other companies are jealous, bottles were tampered with, Oregon-OSHA should have obtained the bottles directly from them, etc.
But let's put ourselves on Brazilian Blowout's side for one second while considering this test. You're about to perform a test with a reputable agency to determine whether stylists are being exposed to carcinogenic levels of formaldehyde…and you also know that there absolutely exist out there in random salons bottles containing formaldehyde up to 12%. Even if every single bottle found to contain formaldehyde at those levels was a sheer fluke–maybe a faulty batch once went out, maybe some bottles were erroneously labeled formaldehyde-free and then sent to salons–and every other bottle of Brazilian Blowout on the market is indeed formaldehyde-free (eye roll), would you risk HSA testing bottles that, oops!, were part of that anomaly? No. You know there are formaldehyde-containing bottles out there and you're not going to chance it.
I'd wager these were brand-new bottles tested, provided directly by Brazilian Blowout to HSA–under the guise of "professionalism" to "prove" that the bottles hadn't been tampered with by evil salons, money-grubbing CEOs of other companies, ax-grinding journalists, Al Qaeda, etc.
As multiple samples have been taken from multiple salons in two countries, it is a fact that Brazilian Blowout does, indeed, have many bottles out there which contain formaldehyde and yet are labeled formaldehyde-free. (Can I hammer this point home enough?)
This test does not prove that salon operators around the country and Canada are safe. What it does prove is that the bottles used in this testing–and this testing alone–either didn't contain formaldehyde or contained very low levels.
One problem, though: those fresh bottles aren't what's on the market at your corner salon to be performed on nursing women, those with "hyde" allergies, and health-savvy consumers who understand the risks of formaldehyde exposure at this level. You know what is on the market? Bottles marked formaldehyde-free containing formaldehyde levels at 8%, 10%, 12% etc.
What really pisses me off about this story is not that Brazilian Blowout bottles contain formaldehyde. All of the brazilian keratin treatments currently on the market contain formaldehyde . It's not safe, but at least they're giving consumers the information necessary to make an informed decision.
No. What pisses me off about this story is if Brazilian Blowout contains formaldehyde and they're lying about it.
I'd like to have some accountability from this company explaining how bottles have flooded the market labelled formaldehyde-free yet which contain 10% formaldehyde. What about the stylists who have been performing Brazilian Blowouts using the bottles that did contain 10% formaldehyde? How are their exposure levels?
That's the story: a company deciding they'd corner the market by passing themselves off as formaldehyde-free–not a theoretical breakdown of the safety levels of pristine, no doubt formaldehyde-free bottles.

Thom Browne for MR PORTER
Thom Browne has always been a huge inspiration – certainly in terms of his runway aesthetic versus WHAT makes it to store on a more commercial level. With a strong base in tailoring with a playful, subversive edge comes the capsule collection from the eponymous Thom Browne for MR PORTER – which plays out perfectly for synergy. The nine-piece collection of includes a sport jacket, Chesterfield overcoat, cropped trousers and contrast brogue boots. My personal favourite is the Colour Block Wool Jersey Sweatshirt. Some more editorial images under the cut.
Iggy Azalea ft. MØ – Beg For It (Lyric Video)
Today, Iggy's re-worked album Reclassified dropped – so did the lyric video that I produced and directed with visualization by the incredibly talented Ljubba. Sticking to the ongoing cinematic theme of Iggy's work, the video brings to life the aesthetic of Studio 54 teasing the new video concept.
MNEK's The Rhythm
The first time I heard this track was at MNEK's The Party at XOYO – the whole crowd went insane – it was clearly a smash in the making and the first solo track from MNEK that is not only super radio and club friendly but truly brings to life his pop and dance influences that he communicates through social. Proud to call this man a friend. Here's The Rhythm.

You can still experience the short film 'An Ode To Oud' we created together to celebrate the Oud Collection here. The beard oil is also available in Tobacco Vanille and Neroli Portofino.
Giorgio Moroder: 74 is the new 24
In rather incredible pop news, electronic music legend Giorgio Moroder has just announced the release of his first album of solo material in over 30 years and it features a rather extensive and groundbreaking list of pop collaborations including Britney Spears, Sia, Kylie Minogue and Charli XCX. I mean, this is incredibly exciting and somewhat unreal.

November 24, 2014
UNDATED (AP) -- The latest newspaper endorsements for Barack Obama include one from the New York Times.
In an editorial first posted on its Web site last night, the Times says after nearly two years of what it calls "a grueling and ugly campaign," Obama "has met challenge after challenge, growing as a leader and putting real flesh on his early promises of hope and change." The Times adds that the Democrat as "shown a cool head and sound judgment."
The Aspen Daily News in Colorado says electing Obama would signal to the world that the country is "ready for open-minded global debate." Obama also picked up the endorsement of the News Journal of Wilmington, Delaware -- Joe Biden's home state.
But the Detroit News is backing John McCain. It says the Republican candidate "has what it takes to lead America" in very uncertain times, and praises him for "eschewing ideology" while seeking bipartisan agreements in the Senate.

Round 1: Asajj Ventress vs Bastila Shan

Plo Koon is a master of the Djem So form and a very powerful Force User. Ventress broke Koon's right arm by bringing an avalanche down on him. Plo Koon would catch up to her and defeat her with his left arm.
Unduli was a master of Soresu (not to the extent of Obi-Wan) and was able to hold her own against Ventress while her vision was impaired.
As powerful as Bastila is, she doesn't have the skills or power to hold her own against Ventress, who has killed many powerful Jedi.
most of the time with ventress the reason she survived so long was because she was a coward so saying her surviving fights cant really be used
but i do think she is a better duellist but bastila is extremely skilled in the force ( i think the youngest jedi to of mastered battle meditation (something was not seen in any of the films.))

NSF Awards $55 Million in Grants to Study Biocomplexity in the Environment
NSF PR 01-81 - October 17, 2001
Media contact:
Cheryl Dybas
(703) 292-8070
Program contact:
Marge Cavanaugh
(703) 292-8002
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded $55 million in research grants to scientists, engineers, and educators to discover the relationships between living things and their environment.
Explains NSF Director Rita Colwell, "Earth is a living, ever-changing planet, with interconnecting threads everywhere. Complexity is a defining characteristic of these threads. All levels of biological organization are more than the sum of their parts. Understanding how complex systems develop from the interactions of living things and their environment is critical to an understanding of how our planet supports life."
Investigations of biocomplexity in the environment, says Colwell, provide science a more complete understanding of natural processes, of human behaviors and decisions in the natural world, and of ways to use new technology effectively to observe the environment and sustain the diversity of life on earth.
Scientists, engineers, and educators must work in teams across diverse fields, says Colwell, that go well beyond biology to include, for example, physics, systems engineering, mathematics, economics, and geochemistry on studies that extend from the submolecular to changes in the world's climate. "The biggest, most exciting scientific questions are now at the interfaces of traditional disciplines, such as biological chemistry, computational ecology, and environmental genetics," she says.
This special competition, called Biocomplexity in the Environment: Integrated Research and Education in Environmental Systems 2001, is the third phase of a multi-year effort supporting full research projects and smaller exploratory projects, workshops and planning activities. In the competition, 32 research projects and 41 exploratory projects were funded, with support from all NSF research directorates and offices.
Four subcategories of awards were made: Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems (CNH); Coupled Biogeochemical Cycles (CBC); Genome-Enabled Environmental Science and Engineering (GENEN); and Instrumentation Development for Environmental Activities (IDEA).
Research project topics include: modeling the interactions among urban development, land cover change, and bird diversity; coupling rhizosphere biogeochemical cycles to plant growth under differing levels of carbon dioxide; meta-genome analysis of extreme microbial symbiosis; and developing instrumentation to measure the emission and transport of biological aerosols into the atmosphere.
Exploratory projects include: sustaining multiple functions for urban wetlands; simplification and recovery of soil biocomplexity following agricultural cultivation and forest logging; complementary development of new chemical sensor and probe microscopy techniques for environmental research in hydrothermal ecosystems; and developing portable devices to map the distribution of arsenic in groundwater in Bangladesh.

Whitetail & Mule deer are valued and pursued because of their antlers. Deer antlers enables you to spruce up your home or they may be used to build things for example knife handles, candlestick holders, and walking stick tops. I really like that they're shed by natural means, no injury to the deer.
Deer antlers can grow an inch or even more every day, which makes them the quickest normal growing tissue known – only tumors and embryos develop new tissues with this rate.
When Do Whitetail Deer Drop Their Antlers?
Bucks shed antlers during wintertime by absorbing the bone tissue substance at the bottom of the antler. The degeneration in this tissues between pedicle and antler is most likely the fastest deterioration of living tissue we know of.
Shed hunting calls for persistence, excellent eyes as well as some understanding of exactly where deer usually forage. When shed hunting, try to find new and old rub scars as well as bedding locations. Should you go out ahead of time, only a tiny proportion of bucks may have shed their antlers, which makes it challenging or next to impossible to stumble over any. In the event you put it off far too late, then the new-growth springtime plant life will get way too dense, and you simply can't see anything. Therefore, I suggest hunting for antlers right at early spring green-up. Thus giving a very good window considering that the greatest quantity of antlers will probably be on the ground and you'll have your easiest likelihood at finding them.
