STAUNTON, Va. -- At the turn of the 20th century, homebuyers could order build- it-yourself house kits from a catalog.
About two dozen of these kit houses still exist in Staunton.
Rose Thornton has written several books on kit homes. The Daily News Leader (http://bit.ly/11GW6ef ) reports that she recently inventoried Staunton's kit houses for the Staunton Historical Foundation.
The foundation hopes to encourage the homes' owners to preserve them.
Thornton said Thursday at a presentation sponsored by the foundation that kit homes are tourist draws. She says Staunton should provide online maps or guided tours.

Beatsfactory Radio Resident DJ
Brunssum - Holland
esident DJ Cycleburner has never played one record in his life. In fact: His most famous stage moment included a donkey and 4 drunk midgets and had nothing to do with music! On top of that he is totally equipment challenged and wouldn't even know where to find the deck's 'on' button. So why is this guy on a website promoting talented DJ's? You tell us… We're still trying to answer that one!
Most likely it's because he is the original founder of Beatsfactory, a forward thinking music producer and a very active creative centipede. Dennis Houwers (Cycleburner) has, for the past 20 years, worked in every creative field possible as a graphic designer and music producer and is currently responsible for the design of this website, running his own graphic design company and working in the games industry as a promotional manager.
He also produces music in various genres from Minimal Techno, bass driven House to dark ambient soundscapes and experimental sound collages and his shows on Beatsfactory Radio will be as diverse! Expect the unexpected. As the owner of the Beatsfactory netlabel he has discovered and worked together with countless talented producers and he's keen on also introducing some of these talents to the Beatsfactory Radio listeners. Tune in if you want to listen to something different!

text: Sec. Duncan Does His Best Susan Rice Impersonation by John Sexton 27 Feb 2013 post a comment Share This: Secretary Duncan's statement about sequester on Sunday's Face the Nation is about as accurate as Susan Rice's explanation of the cause of the 9/11 attack on our Benghazi consulate. In both cases, their superiors at the White House, who sent them out to peddle bogus information, deserve most of the blame. On Sunday, Sec. Duncan claimed, "There are literally teachers now who are getting pink slips, who are getting notices that they can't come back this fall." Over at the Washington Post Karen Tumulty and Lyndsey Layton do a nice job puncturing this bit of White House hype: When he was pressed in a White House briefing Wednesday to come up with an example, Duncan named a single county in West Virginia and acknowledged, "whether it's all sequester-related, I don't know." As now seems par for the course with this administration, their surrogates first say what they're told to say and only later admit they don't know if it's accurate. In Duncan's case, it turns out his claims are not. The notices in question are "transfer notices" not pink slips. They indicate that a teacher may be transferred, not that they are about to be fired. In fact, the Post finds that 104 notices went out as required by state law but just "five to six teaching jobs" will be cut. This will happen whether sequester cuts take place or not. At least it didn't take two weeks to get to the truth this time.

I really like writing and speaking, but I've not always been good at it. I was told early on I was funny but I've worked for the past fifteen years or so at becoming a better communicator. I could share with you a list of things I've learned, but honestly, that list wouldn't do you much good. Every speaker and writer is different.
So, instead, I'll share with you one simple secret:
Every time I do a Storyline Conference, I pay people to give me criticism.
I really mean it. I fly them in, I pay them a small fee, and I get together with them at a later date to hear, from their perspective, how I can do better.
Some of these are experts on comedy, some on psychology, some on theology, and even an expert on creating great keynote slides.
And I take their opinions seriously. They take notes and we go through their notes detail by detail. I don't make every change they recommend, but I make most of them.
The number one comment we get from former Storyline attendees is that it gets better and better each time. Our communication is more clear, our process is easy to understand and truly life changing, and people are more easily connecting with me while I'm presenting.
We will never be a polished conference. That's not who we are. We are authentic and we take huge risks letting our guests be themselves. But in whatever we do, we want to make sure we are never wasting anybody's time.
So, here's what this has to do with you.
What line of work are you in? And are you accepting criticism? Are you learning from it and getting better?
This is a concept we must be careful with because not all criticism is helpful.
Here are my keys to whom I take criticism from:
1. I invite experts to criticize me. I give them specific parameters (though I'm open to anything) and ask them to help me understand what's working and not working. These are people who are learned in their fields, experienced and have a track record of success. I value their perspective.
2. I choose people who are for me and for Storyline. They need to love our mission and our audience. This helps me receive even their harshest criticisms.
3. I make myself love the mission more than my own identity. This is, of course, the key to any great leader. Do they love the mission more than themselves? If I sit with a critic and take things personally, I'll cry myself to sleep. I get plenty of affirmation, but when I sit down with a critic, that's not the point. The point is, how can we love the Storyline community even more?
Are there people in your life you can accept criticism from? And not just in your work, what about your marriage and your family? Do you teach Sunday School? Is there somebody you trust to get together with to critique your teaching?
If you want to rise to the top, accept some pruning now and then. Allow some people to tell you where you need to trim your limbs so you can produce more fruit in the future.
The people listening to you are worth it.

re: Sanford Police Chief: George Zimmerman Is Another 'Sandy Hook' Waiting To Happen (95 comments)
If it walks like a duck it's a duck:
Evil wears many faces, while black folks are the first to cry racism, they are the last to see the evil face of bigotry in their own….
Another story, another time, 1994 the O.J. Simpson trial and verdict, while many whites shook their heads, 88% of black folks cheered. With approximately 90% of whites angrily protesting he is guilty and 88% blacks saying his is not-guilty…don't you see the irony, fast forward to the before and after Zimmerman case…So what's different here? The what is, smells like the stench of bigoted hypocrisy, black newspapers, D.J's, like Michael Basiden argued that mainstream media had been biased towards O.J…
.These same individuals which argue and proclaim racism to those who support George Zimmerman…and use terms like right-winged racists, to vilify. Nonetheless probably were among the ones who cheered on the not-guilty verdict….Eighty-eight percent of black folks cheered when O.J. was acquitted, but veered at those who supported George Zimmerman, tell me how is this so, when the "pot certainly can't call the kettle black".
These same black folk vociferously argued that O.J. was being set-up framed used the "Mob theory" as scapegoat to exonerate Simpson…But of course they aren't racist, or bigots, because black folk can't be racist or bigots'.. But for every Zimmerman supporter lays a seed of racism, while for those 88% black folk who supported O.J.'s acquittal it's justice served….So please explain to me why is it O.K. for 88% of black folk to rally and cheer for this murderers acquittal, which they will vehemently argue he didn't do it, nevertheless, those who rally in favor of George Zimmerman have to be 'racist', right-winger bigots?
There exists bigotry in all races, which from judging or examining these two cases is apparent…that that 88% of black folks are the worst kind of bigots…What they are saying, that 88%, it is O.K. for someone black to murder, a white, Jew, Hispanic, etc…and in our minds he will always be not-guilty, notwithstanding evidence. But Lord and behold, if someone, white, Jewish, Hispanic, etc…was to murder or kill someone black even in self-defense, or defending one's home, etc…he is automatically a 'bigoted racist', who hates blacks….

An invitation to join an International Edible Book Festival
Posted on | February 20, 2012 | 33 Comments
Wherever you are in the world, you are cordially invited to join us in celebrating all things bookish and delicious by taking part in the inaugural Playing By The Book International Edible Book Festival!
Edible book festivals have been taking place around the world since 1999, but as there are none near me I have decided to host an online festival for all of us who can't get to a local edible book festival.
I am honoured and utterly delighted to announce that none other than Emma Chichester Clark, one of Britain's most distinguished illustrators, is this year's Festival Patron! I invited Emma to be the festival's patron after reading her wonderful new book, Lulu and the Best Cake Ever (which I reviewed recently). If you love great children's books and cake in equal measure, this book will be right up your street!
Entry information
To enter the festival you should create an edible book, take two photos of it and email them to me, firstname.lastname@example.com by Friday March 16 2012 (please feel free to email me your pictures any time before then – it would be helpful if you didn't leave it until March the 16th if possible).
NB One of your photos should include something that "time dates" the photo eg a newspaper, your computer monitor with this page in the background etc. This is to ensure that no-one submits photos of cakes they have simply found on the web. Your second photo should be the best photo you can take of your cake. I will use this photo in an online gallery of all submitted cakes.
In your submission email please include the title/author/illustrator of the book on which your edible book is based, and a sentence or two about what in particular inspired your edible book.
Children can enter, families can enter, bakers can enter. Even authors and illustrators can enter (maybe you'll create an edible version of one of your printed books ). Do you run a children's bookshop? Or library? Your customers (and you!) could enter… Are you a teacher? Maybe your pupils would like to enter?
Entries are welcome from all over the world, based on children's books in any language. The only people who aren't eligible to enter this competition are Mélanie (one of the competition judges – see below) and myself.
Each family may enter up to two edible books to the festival.
What is an edible book?
Your creation can be anything as long as it is (theoretically) edible and is somehow children's literature related.
For example, it could (1) look like a book, (2) be inspired by the content of a book, (3) look like a book character or be based on a book's text – really, anything goes as long as there is a children's book connection. Your edible book can be sweet or savoury, and whilst we won't be judging based on taste, your edible book must be made out of edible ingredients. You might find inspiration on my Pinterest Edible Books board.
What we're looking for is creativity and fun. We won't be awarding prizes on the basis of who can ice a cake the most neatly!
I will create an anonymous online gallery of all entries. The gallery will be open for public viewing (ie by you, your friends, book-and-cake lovers around the world) from Monday 19 March until late night viewing ends on Friday 23 March.
The marvellous Mélanie, who blogs at Library Mice, will view the online gallery and shortlist 10 cakes. Emma Chichester Clark will then select the 3 winners from this shortlist. As Mélanie and Emma will not know who submitted which cake, their decision will be impartial and final.
Shortlisted cakes will only be announced after the winning three have been announced.
Winners will be announced on Monday 26 March 2012, when I will also host a link-up for all bloggers who took part and who wish to write a post about their entry to the festival. If you do wish to write a blog post about your Edible Book, please do not make it public before March 26 (in the interest of impartial judging I'd like there to be no way for the judges to know who created which Edible Book, until all judging has taken place).
1st prize – An original drawing of Lulu and her best friend Alfie by Emma Chichester Clark PLUS a signed copy of Lulu and the Best Cake Ever PLUS 5 other picture book titles from Harper Collins, to be selected from the list below.
2nd Prize – A signed copy of Lulu and the Best Cake Ever PLUS 5 other picture book titles from Harper Collins, to be selected from the list below.
3rd Prize – A signed copy of Lulu and the Best Cake Ever.
1st and 2nd prize winners can choose 5 books from this list:
Spreading the word
You can repost the poster image above for a quick blog post about the International Edible Book Festival – simply right click to save it on to your computer, and then upload it like any other image to your blog. The web poster is 450px wide.
If you work in a library or a school and would like to encourage readers, staff, or students to enter, you can download an A4 poster advertising the International Edible Book Festival. Click here for the pdf file.
You can use this button (above) in your blog's side bar. If downloading / uploading the image is too complicated, you should be able to get it to appear in your blog by copying and pasting this text wherever you wish the button to appear:

Most importantly…
Anyone, anywhere may enter the festival (apart from Mélanie and me). You do not need to be a blogger, and you certainly do not need to be a pastry chef or a master baker. You can enter as an adult or a child or as a family – the most important thing is just to give it a go! This festival is about having fun, being creative, and just maybe having something nice to eat at the end of it all.
Any questions? Get in touch via the comments on this post. I look forward to lots of you joining in!

Oh dear, this is going to be a challenge since I do not have any culinary skills to speak of. Among the three of us in GatheringBooks (Fats, Iphigene and myself), it is really Iphigene who does most of the cooking. I do bake – but mostly cookies, haven't tried my hand on cakes yet. I shall help you spread the word though through our FB page and Twitter. Will encourage Iphigene to join. And who knows, I just might surprise myself and bake a cake (heaven help my husband and daughter).

Hi Myra, challenges are good, right And it doesn't have to be a cake – just a dish of food. So it could be cookies….

Does everything on it have to be edible or can we use non-edible bits and pieces like in your lovely Lulu cupcake cake? We are thinking about what we can make!!!

Oh we're EXCITED!.. I've been watching your Pinterest board develop and wondering where that might be leading us. Now…what to make?
Polly recently posted..Mixed up Fairy Tales
February 20th, 2012 @ 8:15 am
Good question Alice. I think we should strive to make the cake as nearly 100% edible as possible, otherwise it will get too easy to make the "fun" bits out of plastic toys… but I think a little use of non edible items is ok. Does that help?

I would love to enter this as a family entry with my 3 children who love to bake. So, it will be very interesting to see the end results. It will involve huge amounts of colour and decorations no doubt :0)
Great idea, thanks!

The ex-Manchester United midfielder will sign a four-year contract with the Southeast Asian side and will be expected to build a squad capable of reaching the 2014 World Cup finals.
It follows the departure of Robson's former England teammate Peter Reid from the Thai hotseat.
"He's agreed to become coach, he's very happy with what we've offered him," Thai FA chief Worawi Makudi said on Wednesday.
"It's a four-year deal. The plan is he'll coach Thailand for the Asian Cup, the Olympics and hopefully the World Cup too."
World Cup pedigree
Robson, who played in three World Cups, has managed four English sides but has been without a club since quitting Sheffield United in February last year.
The 52-year-old, who was nicknamed "Captain Marvel" as a player, becomes Thailand's ninth foreign coach since 1976 and the third ex-England international to take the job after Peter Withe and Peter Reid.
Robson will replace Reid, who parted company with the Thais on September 9 after less than a year in charge.
Destination Qatar
Robson's first task will be to qualify for the 2011 Asian Cup in Qatar.
Thailand are currently third in Group E with two points from their first two games and share the group with Iran, Singapore and Jordan.
He will also be expected to play a role in improving Thailand's fledgling professional league and developing the grassroots game across the country of 67 million people.
During his 13 years at Manchester United, Robson won two league titles, four FA Cups and the European Cup Winners' Cup.
He was capped 90 times by England.
In addition to Sheffield United he managed Bradford City and had stints in the top flight with Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion.

Clay Matthews signed a contract extension with the Green Bay Packers that makes him the highest- paid linebacker in the National Football League, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said.
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson overtook Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos as the highest-selling National Football League player last season.
Green Bay Packers Pro Bowl linebacker Clay Matthews probably will be out for a month after undergoing surgery on his broken right thumb, ESPN reports, citing an unidentified person familiar with the situation.
Safety Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers was chosen the National Football League's defensive player of the year, beating Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews by two votes in balloting compiled by the Associated Press.
The Green Bay Packers' profit from operations rose by $11.4 million to a club-record $54.3 million in fiscal 2013, thanks to falling costs that Chief Executive Mark Murphy credited in part on late signings by Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews.
In July 2006, Green Bay Packers fan Jeffrey Thiel got a Wisconsinite's dream: a tour of the oval- shaped locker room where quarterback Aaron Rodgers and linebacker Clay Matthews now get prepared for games.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers signed a contract extension that ESPN said would give the 2011 Super Bowl Most Valuable Player the highest salary in National Football League history.
Even though the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers have the two best defenses in the National Football League this season, the Super Bowl may turn into an offensive show.
The New York Giants need help to make the National Football League playoffs after committing six turnovers and giving up 515 yards of offense in a 45-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
"I'm going to continue to lead this defense."
- Clay Matthews on Apr 17, 2013

- Conference date: 30 April–3 May 2012
- Location: New Mexico, USA
Thin layers of lead nanoparticles have been produced by a modified pulsed laser ablation (PLA) process in which smaller nanoparticles were swept out of the ablation chamber by a stream of flowing Ar. Large (μm-sized) particles, which are usually deposited during the standard PLA process, were successfully eliminated from the deposit. The nanoparticles deposited on room temperature substrates were well distributed, and the most probable particle diameter was in the order of 30 nm. Since lead is highly reactive, the nanoparticles formed in Ar were quickly oxidized upon exposure to air. A small partial pressure of gas was subsequently added to the effluent, downstream from the ablation chamber, and this resulted in the formation of nanoparticle deposits that were surprisingly oxidation resistant. The properties of the nanoparticle films (as determined by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and conductivity measurements) are reported, and the mechanism of the oxidation retardation process is discussed.

Profoundly moving
I really enjoyed this book. The characters are rich. It took me a couple chapters to really start liking it, but at the end I just sat and stared at the book and cried. I can't even imagine growing up in India 4 decades ago could leave anyone with hope for the future and want to continue on. Kudos for the author.
I was inspired to read all the winners of the Giller Prize as a way to expand my genre horizons. This book is the 1995 winner.
I did not enjoy this story at all. It was almost entirely bleak, dismal and boring.
Though I am impressed that the author could keep me interested enough to finish a book that is just so obviously not to my taste. I think that shows a great storytelling talent.
An excellent book. I recommended it to friends as a wonderful read, but not necessarily the happiest book in the world.
This book has to be read. I never liked any of the books I read in school, until one of my high school English teachers assigned this to me. Mind blowing. 10 years later, I still remember this book and the emotions you get while reading. Would recommend this to anyone without hesitation.
This book deserves a spot on the Classics shelf. The writing, descriptions, setting and characters are beautifully developed, if heartbreaking. This one will stay with readers years after it is finished.
After reading many "happily every after" stories, this one shocked me. It's beautifully written and brings to our attention the hardships some people have to go through. A really intricate story and requires all of your attention. I recommend it!
I don't read a lot of fiction but this was brilliant.
A good read but leaves one sad! Is life really this hopeless?
It's true - I had never read this book until last week. It is a breathtaking story full of terrible moments; both joyful and despairing. If anyone else still hasn't read this book you should pick it up immediately. The depth of the story created by Mistry is amazing.

SummaryAdd a Summary
From Wikipedia
The book exposes the changes in Indian society from independence in 1947 to the Emergency called by Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Mistry is generally critical of P. M. Gandhi in the book. Interestingly, however, Gandhi is never referred to by name by any of the characters, and is instead called simply "the prime minister". The characters, from diverse backgrounds, are all brought together by economic forces changing India.
Ishvar and Omprakash's family is part of the Chamaar caste, who traditionally cured leather and were considered untouchable. In an attempt to break away from the restrictive caste system, Ishvar's father apprentices his sons Ishvar and Narayan to a Muslim tailor, Ashraf Chacha, in a nearby village, and so they became tailors. As a result of their skills, which are also passed on to Narayan's son Omprakash (Om), Ishvar and Om move to Mumbai to get work, by then unavailable in the town near their village because a pre-made clothing shop has opened.
Maneck, from a small mountain village in northern India, moves to the city to acquire a college certificate "as a back-up" in case his father's soft drink business is no longer able to compete after the building of a highway near their village.
Dina, from a traditionally wealthy family, maintains tenuous independence from her brother by living in the flat of her deceased husband, who was a chemist.
Dina distances herself from the political ferment of the period: "Government problems and games played by people in power," she tells Ishvar. "It doesn't affect ordinary people like us" (Mistry, 86). But in the end it does affect all of them, drastically.
At the beginning of the book, the two tailors, Ishvar and Omprakash, are on their way to the flat of Dina Dalal via a train. While on the train, they meet a college student named Maneck Kohlah, who coincidentally is also on his way to the flat of Dina Dalal to be a boarder. They become friends and go to Dina's flat together. Dina hires Ishvar and Om for piecework, and agrees to let Maneck stay with her. Dina then reflects on her past and how she was brought to her current situation.
Dinah is trying to start and independent life. She will meet two tailors, and a college student all who will stay with her for a time. All 4 of these characters have sad and interesting pasts.

My Dog, One Life-Loving Animal
The word "Animal" seems to fall so short.
Here's an update about Max for those many of you who expressed concern, support and love when I last blogged about his heartbreaking cancer diagnosis.
First of all, he's alive and happy, constantly at my foot in the StartupNation World Domination Headquarters (in the spare bedroom). He has proven to be incredibly resilient, this "animal."
I've opted not to give you play by play reports on how his condition is evolving. After all, this blog is mostly about business-related stuff and i don't want tough news about Max to overtake the incredible sense of optimism that so many of us share and foster here at StartupNation.
Trust me. There've been some close calls, including two events that apparently were internal hemmhorages. Each time, though, his spirit pressed on and his body recovered. He's bounced back quickly each time and remains FULL of life force. His spirits, in a phrase, are "Game On!!!"
Recently, dreadfully, his tumor ruptured externally. It was a blood everywhere situation. Like some kind of horror movie taking place in my home. The vets had warned me that this would happen eventually as the tumor swelled so much that the pressure would basically cause it to explode. It happened at night and I stayed with him through the next morning under the coaching of my vet who'd given me her cell phone. "Pressure, bandages, cold packs," etc., was the advice until she was able to stop by in the morning. That was last Tuesday and I thought Max was nearing the finish line.
But don't sell him short. Ever. After a couple of days of rest, 24/7 nurturing, and crash course lessons for me in wound care, Max was back. I mean COMPLETELY back. All he wanted to do is get in the back of the car and go to the farm (where I ride in the evenings). Day three he was back protecting the perimeter of the yard, barking at nearby coyotes. He was packing 3 tennis balls in his mouth, lock-jawed. And just to keep me on my toes, at every possible chance, he was and still is trying to roll to work off his wound dressing, which wraps around his back and tummy.
Here's an account of yesterday that I emailed to some friends. It's a take-off on a favorite poem of mine, "Otherwise." It might make you appreciate the little things today… and the big ones, too.
We woke.
We walked in the old cow pasture, frost crunching the grass.
We dug for gophers.
It might have been otherwise.
We ate a big meal with fresh meats mixed in.
A nice sleep ensued.
We woke for a long walk into town, Salmon Tandoori at the Himalayan restaurant.
Drank water from a take-out container and ate a bowl of basmati rice and peas.
We got a lot of scratches and "what kind of dog is that?!"s.
It might have been otherwise.
It was hot, like summer, so we came back and napped for a while.
We groomed a paw or two, rotating sleeping sides on the cool wooden floor.
The sun set golden, a confused breeze in the house.
It was another good day.
It might have been otherwise.
As always, I deeply appreciate the love you folks have expressed for Max, me and these beloved best friends.

System Restore not showing more restore points after clicking the box
Hello everyone
I recently ran Advanced System Optimizer 3 and optimized my system in a hurry. Without thinking and to my regret, I did not manually create a system restore point before doing this.
I have noticed several changes (albeit non-major but nonetheless uncomfortably different) with my use.
1. Certain thumbnails/links which are supposed to have images on them now appear to be broken (that paper torn in half sign instead)
2. Hotmail's autocomplete whenever you start typing an email addresses' first few words no longer functions.
I have yet to discover more irregularities but as far as I know Advanced System Optimizer must have removed or deleted something after I clicked optimize now which is causing all these.
I tried to system restore it to a time before I actually ran the optimization which was about 9 am on 9th of November 2011 but all I see is an 11 am restore point on the same day in the restore point list. When I click show me more restore points, it does not show me more but remains with just the 1 point which I've said.
Is my case already a goner and it's already too late to turn back or is it possible to somehow access more previous restore points? It would be better still to access a 8th of November 2011 restore point (which again presently shows only the 9th of November point and nothing else), BEFORE I did a scan of the system even and just revert everything to how it once was.
|My System Specs
|09 Nov 2011
Here's a follow up to my case, I've managed to solve problem no.1 as I found out that it occurred in almost all websites I tried to access. It mainly showed the HTML coding instead of all the usual colours and decorations. So what I did was hold shift and click refresh and it solved everything including the thumbnail not appearing issue. Apparently after doing this everytime I returned to those sites it didn't give any problems.
The Hotmail issue still persists though. I am quite an email heavy user and find this quite annoying. Whenever I click reply, it's as if I'm composing a completely new email with no address in the bar, no RE: subject and no previous incoming email which I can refer to in replying that email. The autocomplete email address email still persists.
Any help on this?
Edit: It all eventually solved itself.

The story of safe, natural shaving products
August 27, 2013
[Editors note: The "Our Story" page of PacificShaving.com told us it was feeling lonely. We decided to dedicate this post to telling its story.]
"There I was one night…just a normal guy.
And then, there I was the next night…damn I was still just a normal guy!"
— Bruce Springsteen
For many years, I was a corporate marketing executive. Working for large, public companies, shaving was the usual routine/chore it was for many men every morning before work. And it was falling short for me. My razor blade had benefited from billions of dollars in product innovation but my shaving cream hadn't been upgraded along the way. It was still a big rust-ring leaving can of shaving cream v1.0. Think of it like spending money on a brand new smart phone, but then not downloading the apps that make it really zing. Cool phone, but not firing on all cylinders. Nice razor blade, but you're still putting toxic, irritating ingredients on your skin every day.
It dawned on me that I wasn't looking for a close shave but instead, I was looking for a comfortable shave. Just like a flux capacitor equation, it dawned on me:
Razors = close shave.
Shaving products = comfortable shave.
Inspired, I used my free time – early morning, lunch hour, post bedtime story – to develop a line of shaving products that would be moisturizing without being greasy; kind to sensitive skin but with enough muscle to conquer the heaviest beard.
Never would I leave the bathroom in a cloud of "morning rain" or "Irish fields" and no longer would I face a bulky, ring-of-rust leaving aluminum can of shaving cream or struggle with the waste it created. I could toss the small but mighty products (TSA-approved) in a carry-on or slip them in a gym bag. The subtle citrus scent would work for a man or a woman and the product itself would leave chins, legs, underarms, even heads, silky smooth.
Today, Pacific Shaving Company offers a full line of affordably-priced, safe, natural and eco-friendly shaving essentials that can be found in thousands of fine retail locations across the country.
So, here I am. Still just a normal guy. But these days I enjoy (or at least don't mind!) my morning shave. And now, along with hundreds of thousands of other 'normal guys' who use Pacific Shaving products, my skin has never looked better or felt healthier. Give it a try.
I know you're not asking for much: a relatively pain-free, close and comfortable shave.
STOP. Here's your problem already: like most people, you are probably confusing a "close" shave with a "comfortable" shave.
The secret to a close shave is in the hardware and the hardware only: use a decent razor.
It doesn't need to be expensive and it doesn't need to have six blades. In fact, many dermatologists will tell you that three, four, five+ blades aren't necessary and potentially provide diminishing returns. Those millions and millions of dollars spent advertising shaving products: they are all selling a close shave. But the truth is, it's pretty easy to get a close shave. If you have a steady hand and aren't rushed for time, you can even do it with a rock.
The secret to a comfortable shave however is in the software: It's what you put on your skin.
The products you put on your skin (your body's largest organ, don't forget) before, during and after the deed are the very things that get you through the 24 hours in between shaves with skin that stays healthy, looks and feels great, and protects against harsh environmental elements.
You don't need a long regimen for a close shave. No lather-warmer or hot towels necessary. Regardless of the products you choose to use, here are a few common sense steps to get you on your way to a comfortable shave:
- Clean your skin before you shave. Exceptionally clean skin prepares your face for an exceptionally smooth shave.
Choosing a skin cleanser with a gentle exfoliant will help remove dead skin cells and lift whiskers. (An ounce of prevention here is worth a pound of cure here when it comes to ingrowns.)
- Use a shaving cream or oil that is moisturizing and free of harsh chemicals.
Stay away from alcohol, menthol or other drying ingredients. They might feel tingly, but they are sucking moisture out of your skin. (When your foot falls asleep it feels tingly too, but don't you feel better when the circulation is there?)
- Use a post-shave moisturizer to keep skin soft and supple.
I know you want to be done after you rinse of the last bit of shaving cream or oil, but take the extra step to moisturize afterward. This doesn't require reeking of Irish Mist, Morning Dew or a men's locker room the rest of the day. Something light, free of harsh chemicals and moisturizing is all you need.
Voila! A comfortable shave.
PS: You already look five years younger. Seriously, I'm not just saying that. You do.

Sediment and Dam Removal Study
Current work:
In September 2010, the Army Corps of Engineers published on an extensive study of the sediments of the Assabet River and the feasibility of dam removal and other options to remediate nutrient pollution problems in the river. The final report and modeling reports are available on: Army Corps of Engineers Assabet Project webpage.
Previous work:
USGS studied sediment volume, quality (including metals and toxic inorganic and organic contaminants), and nutrient flux in the main the Assabet River impoundments.
Sediment Studies in the Assabet River, Central Massachusetts, 2003. SIR 2005-5131.
From this study, USGS concluded (excerpted from the study abstract):
"Maximum bulk-sediment phosphorus concentrations in surface samples from the impoundments increased along a downstream gradient, with the exception of samples from the last impoundment, where the concentrations decreased. In addition, the highest phosphorus concentrations were generally in the surface samples; this finding may prove helpful if surface dredging is selected as a means to control phosphorus release from sediments. There is no known relation, however, between bulk-sediment concentration of phosphorus and the concentrations of phosphorus available to biota."
"Potentially toxic metals, including arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel, lead, and zinc were frequently measured at concentrations that exceeded U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sediment-quality guidelines for the protection of aquatic life and that occasionally exceeded Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection guidelines governing landfill disposal (reuse)."
"Due to the effects of matrix interference and sample dilution on laboratory analyses, neither pesticides nor volatile organic compounds were detected at any sites. However, samples collected in other studies from nearby streams indicated the possibility that pesticides might have been detected in the impoundments if not for these analytical problems. Although polychlorinated biphenyl concentrations, as individual Aroclors, generally exceeded published U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guideline concentrations for potential effects on aquatic life, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guideline concentrations for human contact or the Massachusetts guidelines for landfill reuse were rarely exceeded. Concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, both individually and total, frequently were greater than guideline concentrations. Concentrations of total extractable petroleum hydrocarbons did not exceed Massachusetts guideline concentrations in any samples.
When the sediment analytes from surface samples are considered together to compare their potential toxicity to aquatic organisms, it is clear that sediment exposure is likely to have harmful effects. By most measures, samples from the first and last impoundments in the sequence had the poorest sediment quality with respect to the degree and the frequency with which guideline concentrations were exceeded."
"In the study of phosphorus dynamics in the impoundment in Hudson, Massachusetts, phosphorus concentrations varied over time, primarily in bed-sediment samples, at the off-channel sampling locations where the water column was stratified. These variations, including some substantial increases in phosphorus concentrations in pore-water samples, however, did not appear to lead to increases in phosphorus exported from the impoundment. This observation suggests that most of the phosphorus released from the sediments was recycled internally in the impoundment."
"Although net phosphorus storage did vary, it did not generally increase with time as total phosphorus entered the water column from sediments in stagnant areas in the Hudson impoundment. Physical and redox processes seem to control phosphorus release from sediments to the water column. These findings and the results of other studies indicate that the amount of phosphorus released from sediments over a yearly cycle was relatively small compared to the amount of phosphorus entering the system from upstream wastewater-treatment plants."

|Media Maven: "500 Days of Summer" Movie Review
|Written by Jan James Stetter

Media Maven: "500 Days of Summer" Movie Review
Not all stories of love are love stories. Our Media Maven determines this film's romantic category while revealing whether you'll want to grab a seat at the next showing.
"500 Days of Summer"
Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Zooey Deschanel, Geffrey Arend, Chloe Moretz, Matthew Gray Gubler, Clark Gregg, Patricia Belcher, Rachel Boston, Minka Kelly
During the introduction of the trailer and film, you'll hear a voiceover say, "This is a story about love. This is not a love story." I would have to agree.
Tom Hansen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a regular guy working as a writer at a greeting card company. One day Summer Finn (Zooey Deschanel) is hired at his office, and Tom is head-over-heels in love with Summer.
What ordinarily make a love story a love story are two people making a connection and a commitment. In "500 Days of Summer," viewers see the hope of love, the facade of love and finally unrequited love. First-time director Marc Webb, whose experience is in directing music videos, did a fine job in telling us this story. The technique he used included vignettes involving Tom and Summer and their 500 days together. In no chronological order, the audience sees snippets of Tom and Summer throughout the film.
A really fun sequence is the morning after Tom and Summer have been together all night. Tom is walking on air, the sky is blue. A dance sequence that involves all the people Tom sees as he walks to work cleverly conveys that feeling of love and its newness, its energy, its unabandoned belief that "all is right with the world." The reality is that it takes two to make love last — two to be so sure of the other.
And that is what makes this film so very refreshing. From the start, Summer tells Tom she is a skeptic of true love. Tom is a hopeless romantic. It is the intertwining of hearts and reality played out so honestly in this film that makes it such a poignant, pleasurable story to see.

"Use this recipe all the time!! Not why it took so long to write a review. Marinade it for a few hours and I use my Foreman Grill. Lovely flavour. Serve it with cilantro rice and a tomato and avocado salad. Yummy leftovers too"
"Absolutely fabulous. The buttermilk and coffee give it a moistness that ca't be beat. I was a little worried at first as the batter was very runny, but turned out perfectly. One thing inportant to remember about the granache is to wisk it well before spreading it.What a winner this recipe is!!"
"Thank you!!! I have finally found an easy and fabulous recipe for the buns need. I make bar-b-q pork/beef stuffed buns and this recipe is perfecto for the bun part of it. I'm so thrilled!!"
"These are great!! I just made some. I did as one suggested and added sone lemon juice and zest. I also added about 1/4 cup sour cream. Mainly because if I can add it to something...I will. Makes it really moist and yummy. The entire batch was gone in a day."
"I love scrambled eggs. the only difference is that I do mine in a saucepan in a double boiler. this way the eggs never get direct heat and are so light, creamy and yummy!!!"
"I've made this recipe on numerous occassions and love it!! It's alos great done on the grill!"
"I tried the basic idea of this recipe using the white and red sauces. The stuffing i did using my own recipe, but I really liked the idea of both sauces. What an outstanding idea!! I use a homemade marinera sauce and the stuffing add goat cheese, otherwise it's fairly similar. I highly recommend the 2 sauce idea!! It brings the manicotti to a..."
"My daughter made this (11) and it was fabulous!! Very simple and tasy. Not too sweet which I like. I too used extra garlic. she definitly wants to try this again."
"My DD slices the strawberries and puts the Nutella and berries on toast. (either french bread or a sweet bread toasted. this is also a great filler for crepes!!"
"I also grew up on this recipe. My friends would think I was nuts until I made them try it. I too use more that 2 slices of bacon. I figure go big or go home! :) We introduced this at a restuarant in Bermuda and they actually put it on their menu!!"

Search Tips
Why use a Crossbow Cocking Aid?Archers must cock their crossbows before each shot. Cocking the crossbow involves pulling back on the string that releases the arrow when fired. The draw weight refers to the amount of strength required to cock a crossbow. For the archer, this is the amount of weight they must be able to pull up off the ground. A crossbow with a 200 pound draw weight is equivalent to dead lifting 200 pounds, but a cocking device can reduce this. In fact, a rope cocker will reduce the draw weight to 50% and some crank/wench cocking devices can reduce to a mere 5lbs. In addition, these cocking devices improve shooting accuracy!
What are the different types of Cocking Aids available?There are 2 aiding devices which have become very popular among crossbow enthusiasts and big game hunters alike; the Rope Cocking Aid, and the Crank Cocking Device (also known as a cocking wench). The rope cocker has two handles attached to a rope. String clips attach the rope to the crossbow. The archer then pulls the handles to tighten the rope and cock the crossbow. The crank cocker mounts on the crossbow's stock. The archer turns the handle to cock the crossbow.
Advantages Of Rope Cocking DeviceRope cocking devices are fast to use. On average, it takes less than 30 seconds to cock a crossbow with a rope cocker. Rope cockers are light and easy to carry.
Advantages Of Crank Cocking DeviceCrank cockers greatly reduce the amount of strength needed to cock a crossbow. For a 150-pound pull crossbow, a crank cocker reduces the load to 10 pounds. This means that the archer only has to have the strength to pull 10 pounds to cock the crossbow.
Will I be able to shoot more accurately if i use a cocking aid?Yes! One major advantage of using a rope cocker or crank cocking device to assist you is greater accuracy in your shots. What can happen if you don't draw the bow back perfetly straight when manually cocking, the middle of the string does not align in the center of the trigger mechanism. If you pull one side harder than the other, the center of your string can be pulled right or left of the trigger mechanism, resulting in shots that spray and miss left and right on the target. This variable is eliminated when using a rope cocker pulling device or crank cocking device. In addition, these devices are great in order to de-cock your crossbow and avoid a dry-fire which causes damage to your bow, string and cables.
Who uses these Cocking Aids?Crossbow cranking devices are particularly popular among a range of hunters and shooting enthusiasts of all ages, from youth to seniors as well as those with physical disabilities.

In order to free up space on the 40-man roster the Washington Nationals announced yesterday that they designated left-handed starting pitcher Matt Chico for assignment.
Chico, 27, spent most of the 2010 season at Class AAA Syracuse and had a decently successful season. He went 7-9 with a 3.62 and managed a strikeout to walk ratio of 2:1.
Chico has spent two years in the majors, both with the Nationals. In 2007 he went 7-9 with a 4.63 ERA in 167 innings pitched in 31 games started. His 2007 performance landed him the number two spot in the starting rotation in 2008. However, Chico struggled, going 0-6 in 11 games, 8 starts, and posted a very elevated ERA of 6.19 to start the campaign.
Chico's season was then cut short when it was discovered that he had a tear in his elbow, and that meant the thing no young pitcher ever wants to hear: Tommy John surgery. After surgery, Chico sat out all of 2009 and tried to come back in 2010, and had the successful year in AAA that was previously mentioned.
He did make one spot start for the Nationals last year, going 5 innings and allowing two runs. Chico will most likely be a non-factor for the Nationals this year, however, if he continues his success at AAA, don't be surprised to see him back in Washington if there is a lack of production or an injury.

GRASS VALLEY—Investigators are trying to figure out how a human skull and other bone fragments turned up on a Grass Valley property.
Deputies with the Nevada County Sheriff's Department were dispatched to a property near the 1000 block of Cone Tree Trail Monday after someone reported finding bones and clothing.
Deputies were able to confirm the remains were human. The bones and clothing fragments are now at the Nevada County Sheriff's Department laboratiry for DNA testing and analysis.
Authorities say they're not sure who the bones belong to, but that it could be linked to the disappearance of a man from the area in 2004.
