Playing "Guess the Price" on a Rolls-Royce and a Bentley (and Driving Them, Too)
There is a guessing game people can't help but play with us when we're driving an opulent and imposing Rolls-Royce, or a Bentley, and in the nearly six years this column has run, no one has ever come close to getting the right answer. Basically, it's the question everyone asks when they see one of the British behemoths: "How much does one of those cost?"
One might imagine that price inflation would be the issue, with guessers adding a few extra hundred dozen Benjamins to the price of these big boys. One might also imagine that estimates would be closer in car-centric L.A. than in car-hating New York. But the guy in a battered Ford pickup in the parking lot of our favorite Silver Lake fish-taco stand, and the plumber exiting his white Dodge van in the driveway of our house upstate, both underestimated these cars' cost by literally hundreds of thousands of dollars.
How does one inform an onlooker of the actual sticker price of a hand-built English luxury sedan—each of which is the "entry level" four-door offering for their marque—when the average price of the pair is more than $300,000? We tend to do it with a wince and a shrug. We jab our thumbs in the air like a helpful audience member on The Price Is Right. We openly admit that we are simply trying the car on—like a costume, like drag—in order to write a review, and hope they don't throw rocks or drag us from the diamond-quilted leather seats for a stomping. If these cars were French, they would come equipped with a special app that alerted their drivers to the proximity of guillotines.
But we would be lying if we said we didn't love every minute of our time in them.
Since it was still winter on the East Coast, we recently elected to test-drive a glacier-white Bentley Flying Spur, outfitted with a similarly arctic porpoise-grey interior. This ice mallet was equipped with the brand's locomotive W12 engine, whose output bests that of the latest Lamborghini, an all-wheel-drive system seemingly borrowed from a Caterpillar earthmover, and a quartet of enormous winter tires, each of which could have served as a life preserver on the Queen Elizabeth. Despite blizzards and slush mires, it never even considered stranding us.
Such is the elemental glory of the Flying Spur: it moves with indomitable imperturbability, like a subway borer churning through the schist below Manhattan. Yet when you reach some twisty bit, it's as nimble as a wolf threading into its den. It defies logic.
Equally inexplicable is our affection for the brazen Alpine Rally paint scheme of the Rolls-Royce Ghost we piloted through a West Coast jaunt. It mimicked the azure ocean, and the cloudless, drought-dried sky, and the water in a Palm Springs swimming pool, and a bunch of other clichés. The special hue—including the first painted production grille in the brand's upstanding, upright, chrome-on-chrome history—costs a mere $43,500.
Piloting the Rolls is a unique experience, and entirely different from driving the Bentley. Whereas the Flying Spur is capable of a startling intercourse with the road, the Ghost shuns all paved engagement. It's not as though we didn't feel in control; we did. In fact, we felt in absolute control of everything: the mountains, the fault lines, the California Highway Patrol. We were impervious, pulling the world's strings from within our effortlessly egregious bunker, like Zeus upon Olympus, or Putin in his dacha.
So strong was our force field that on our way to the airport, when we pitted for our traditional lunch of diet Red Bulls and protein bars in a southern-central stretch of the I-10, we did not think twice for our safety. Near the rancid fryer-oil dumpster in an under-occupied strip mall, a man in a rattle-can-black 1980 Camaro rolled down his window and offered, in a tone just beneath threatening, to trade cars with us. We clutched our chest with one hand and waved him off with the other, like Joan Collins dismissing a rival on Dynasty.
Which of the pair is our favorite? That's like asking us to choose among Poussin's paintings of the four seasons at the Louvre, or whether we prefer flawless gemstones or a flawless sex robot that looks exactly like a young Richard Gere. The answer to this question, for cars like these, is, "both" and "all." No one who owns a Rolls or a Bentley owns just one vehicle. Choice, within this category, is as irrelevant as price.

Universal Studios Florida in World Expo
Duff Beer, Flaming Moe
Grab a Duff beer (regular or Duff Light on draft or bottle, Duff Dry in a bottle only) or a Flaming Moe from this replica of Homer and Barney's haunt from The Simpsons television series. Filled with nods to the TV show, there's a large photo op with Barney himself along with a working Love Tester. If you're lucky and sitting by the red phone on the bar top, you just may happen to take in a prank phone call. The Flaming Moe drink itself is the first signature drink "experience" we have seen to date. Pricey at almost $8 each, a Flaming Moe does come in a souvenir glass which does a good job hiding dry ice via a separate compartment. When you are served the orange soda-tasting drink, it bubbles up with smoke billowing out, giving a really good representation of being on fire. The Flaming Moe is non-alcoholic and sure to be a hit with the younger set when they see it for the first time.

Reaxys® Medicinal Chemistry Provided As Part Of Elsevier's Suite Of Life Science Solutions Delivers High Quality Content To Improve Drug Discovery And Development
AMSTERDAM, February 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Comprehensive, referenced and well-structured data allows users to increase speed and accuracy of decision making in the drug development process
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, today announced the launch of Reaxys Medicinal Chemistry. It offers medicinal chemists access to comprehensive, referenced and well-structured data to enhance the compound selection process across discovery and pre-clinical stages in drug research and development. Reaxys Medicinal Chemistry will significantly improve the efficiency and productivity of researchers engaged in the process of designing compounds and optimizing their compatibility with one or more targets in order to successfully treat a disease.
Dr. Juergen Swienty-Busch, Product Lead for the Reaxys suite at Elsevier, said, "The greatest challenge of medicinal chemistry is to reduce the number of drug candidates that fail in late stages, significantly increasing the cost of bringing a drug to market. The well-known mantra 'fail early, fail cheap' is now central to the drug discovery process, with much of the responsibility borne by medicinal chemists."Medicinal chemists develop strategies to find new drugs and to improve not only the efficacy of compounds but also selectivity, ADME properties and safety end-points. To support these strategies, medicinal chemists need to have access to up-to-date, well organized and high-quality experimental data on druggable targets, pharmacological effects, biological data points, and ADME properties associated with chemical compounds. Reaxys Medicinal Chemistry sources its data from a vast repository of peer-reviewed journal articles, patents and regulatory information, encompassing millions of compounds and associated biological data linked to thousands of druggable proteins. It brings this information together into a single, easily searchable solution that gives pharmaceutical companies access to comparative data. Reaxys Medicinal Chemistry can be used in conjunction with Elsevier's suite of life science products; including Reaxys, the leading chemistry discovery engine, and PharmaPendium, which focuses on regulatory approvals and drug safety. This solution effectively brings together lead identification, confirmation and drug repurposing.

The Most Beloved Business Tools
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) -- Which business apps, software and Web services are most loved by small-business owners?
While it's easy to say anything created by Google (GOOG), Intuit (INTU), Apple (AAPL) and eBay's (EBAY) PayPal are some of the most used applications by start-ups and small businesses, there are a bunch of smaller names that are "beloved" by business owners.
BestVendor has created a social directory of sorts to help small businesses make smarter buying decisions through peer recommendations.
Roughly 3,000 start-up and small-business owners told BestVendor which "work apps" they use the most and if they would recommend them to others. Here is the cream of the crop. (The list includes only applications that were used at least 20 times.)

Leading private label supplier Perrigo has acquired pet health company Velcera for $160 million.
The deal follows last fall's acquisition of Sergeants and signals Perrigo's intent to accelerate growth in areas beyond its traditional businesses of consumer health care, nutrition products and prescriptions. Velcera is a pet health company best known for is PetArmor brand of flea and tick products that are widely available at retailers nationwide, much to the chagrin of veterinarians. PetArmor's had sales of $60 million last year.
An expanded offering of private label pet care products will be coming soon to retailers shelves following the acquisition of Sergeants Pet Care Products by Perrigo, the leading global provider of store brand health and personal care items.
Perrigo said it signed a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Sergeant's, a privately held Omaha-based company, for $285 million in an all cash deal that enables Perrigo to enter the $8 billion pet care market.

Every Christmastime, Norm Veevers of Kitchener transforms himself into Santa Claus.
He stops shaving in August, so that he has a snowy-white, curly beard by mid-December. This is important — when kids pull his beard and see that it's not a fake, they believe that he's the real thing.
Norm and his wife Cheryl have matching velveteen costumes with white fur trim. She wears a white wig and has crinolines under her skirt for that 19th-century look. He's got a thick black belt and white gloves. And on their red Hyundai car are mounted a couple of antlers sticking out of the top of the windows.
Dressed for the part, the couple volunteer at daycare centres, group homes for kids with disabilities, and other community gatherings.
They go to Grand River Hospital every year and bring gifts to the children in the cancer ward. Those gifts are bought for the young patients through a fundraising program headed by David Clarkson, a former Kitchener Rangers hockey player.
On Christmas Eve, just because they love to do it, they go to Waterloo Park, and later to the skating rink in front of Kitchener City Hall. They give out hundreds of candy canes, hug the kids and pose for photos.
"We get to the (park) entrance, and then we're swarmed," Cheryl jokes.
It's a magical experience, especially for Norm. For most of the year, the 61-year-old works for a Cambridge company, buying steel components to build mining trucks. He's rather introverted. But the role of Santa transforms him
"I'm Santa," Norm says. "It's a sense of well-being that is almost indescribable … It's a magical time."
One time he was driving back from a gig in his suit and he saw a large number of cars parked outside a house. There was clearly a big party going on. Norm then did something no introvert would ever dream of doing: He stopped the car, walked to the front door, rang the bell, and gave out candy canes to complete strangers with the trademark Santa greeting: "Ho, ho, ho!"
"It was just absolutely hilarious!" he recalls.
Wherever he goes, he gets a warm welcome and plenty of loyalty from strangers. Last year, when visiting Kitchener City Hall, he and Cheryl parked their car on the sidewalk while giving out candy canes and greeting the children who were skating on the outdoor rink. "The security guard came out and was starting to write a ticket," said Veevers.
But when the skaters saw what was happening they rushed to Saint Nick's defence. "They're yelling and screaming at this guy — 'You can't write up Santa!'" recalls Norm with a chuckle. And he got off with a warning.
This whole thing started for Norm years ago, when his brother- and sister-in-law asked him to put on an old Santa suit at a family party. The thrilled faces of the kids won him over. Four or five years ago, Cheryl joined him, and now it has become an important part of their year.
"Christmas has become so much about the gift, and not about the giving," Norm says. But he's changing that in his corner of the world. As Santa, he gives hugs, candy canes, words of encouragement and affection. It's great for the kids he meets. And it's great for him, too.

TWU Spring 2013 Applicants! - page 10
Hello!:yeah: I know it's pretty early to be starting this forum, but I just wanted to put my voice out there and see if there is anyone else out there hoping to join TWU's nursing program in the spring of 2013? What are you... Read More
- 0May 19, '12 by ambrekaiQuote from LoveNeverFailsIIIUnfortunately, I haven't taken all my classes at TWU. I'm a transfer student, and as of the end of this spring semester, I only have 29 credit hours at TWU. Since you need 32 to be eligible for the "bump", I don't qualify. I do, however, have all first attempt A's on the sciences and I've heard that they weigh those heavily, so I'm happy with that.Have you taken all your classes at TWU and first attempts on sciences As? Wouldn't you get the "TWU bump?" I don't know how much that is but that could help a lot. You're lucky you're not taking any classes for the semester...I will be. I have signed up for 3 classes and for fall I'm just going to focus on pathophysiology. I was considering just retaking my history alone and the other classes for fall. Now that I'm thinking about it, it's not a bad idea. Yet all the classes are online. Hopefully they are not too bad. Decisions, decisions, decisions. :icon_roll Have you taken Woman's Studies or are you exempt from it? I think I'm suppose to have a completion of computer literacy too. Have you taken that? If so, how was it?
I actually haven't taken Woman's Studies or the Computer Literacy class yet either...those are two of the classes I'm taking in the fall, as well as my Comp II and Philosophy . I'm hoping the computer literacy class is ok; I'm kinda nervous about that one!
- 0Quote from ambrekaiHey wow your brave sounds like a fun summer good luck. I took the TEAS-V back in January and failed by 2 points. I plan to retake it in June or July once am done with my studying.Hello!
I know it's pretty early to be starting this forum, but I just wanted to put my voice out there and see if there is anyone else out there hoping to join TWU's nursing program in the spring of 2013? What are you taking this semester (spring 2012), and when are you taking the TEAS-V entrance exam?
After this spring semester of taking microbiology, chemistry, developmental psychology, and statistics, I'll be ready to apply before the September 1st deadline! I'm hoping to take the entrance exam in the summer - probably June or July.
So yeah, I just wanted to see who else was out there!
- 0I have a friend who got a 72 on the TEAS-V and had a GPA of 3.7 and got accepted if that helps anyLast edit by rosa41988lovesu on May 20, '12
- 0May 20, '12 by ambrekaiQuote from rosa41988lovesuHi Rosa! Thanks I'm just glad that semester is done! I'm sure you'll do much better on the TEAS now that you've taken it once and know what the format will be like. I wish I'd taken it in January, so I would've been more familiar with it!Hey wow your brave sounds like a fun summer good luck. I took the TEAS-V back in January and failed by 2 points. I plan to retake it in June or July once am done with my studying.
And yeah, It definitely helps hearing about your friend. I'm so nervous about the TEAS, especially because it's the last piece of the puzzle and I just want to do well on it!!
Welcome to the forum, and good luck re-taking it!
- 0May 20, '12 by blt99Remember passing (to TWU) is considered a 64. And remember that you can only take the TEAS once per application cycle. Go read my other post earlier in this thread about the TEAS test help. Seriously, works.
From the J's mouth: 64 is passing, 74 is the average, 83+ if you want to be competitive.
With that said, I want to chime in again. I'm starting in Dallas this fall (orientation was awesome) and I know what you guys are going through. The panic of "am I going to get in?" can eat at you and make you certifiably crazy for at least a year. You have this uncontrollable desire to know where you rank among your peers and the other 999 people that applied for 110 spots. Well, you will never know that, and I have no clue where I ranked.
My advice: do the best you absolutely can, so that when you submit your application, you know that you did everything in your power to make sure that you got in. You have no control over the other people you are applying with, so don't let their grades or TEAS score dictate your life. You will literally go nuts, so don't compare yourself to other people. Do the best *you* can do. This is why when people ask me "what are your stats?" I just don't respond.
A couple more tidbits that I need to clarify for your help. This comes directly from the advisors that chose who gets accepted. There is no 0.4 bump for having your pre-reqs at TWU. I know that's what the website says, but they say that is too confusing and people are literally, and mistakenly, adding that to their GPA.
Here's how it works. There are really 6 preferences. 4 for the first attempt A classes. 1 for having a previous bachelor's degree. 1 for having your 16 or 32 hours at TWU. Those preferences are used as consideration along with the raw GPA and TEAS scores. This whole system that they use for acceptance is a balancing act so that if you lack a little in one area, but make up for it in the others that your chances of getting in are not completely over.
I say all of this in hopes that you gals (and any guys) might have some peace of mind and spare yourselves a few breakdowns that my friends and I had over this process. In retrospect, after we all got in, we said "what were we so worried about?". Just do the best that you can and encourage your friends.
Good luck/juju/mojo/prayers to you (and my friends that are applying at the same time) and I really hope to see you guys next spring!

When you say "0.4 bump" for the 1st attempt A classes is that for all pre-reqs? I was told it was just for A&P I, A&P II, Stats, and Micro. Then again i could be wrong. =D
- 0May 20, '12 by blt99I didn't say anything about a bump for 1st attempt A. See, I believe the water-cooler misinformation talk leads to more confusion and more paranoia, which is no bueno. I firmly believe in the theory of "if you want to know it, go ask the person who knows, not the person who heard it from someone who heard it form someone who thinks they know." So that is why I went to the nursing advisors with my questions to clarify what I heard from the younger students standing around talking after class.
On the GPA worksheet with the core classes that they have/had linked to the CON "how to apply" website, it says a 0.4 GPA bump for having 32 hours at TWU (16 for post-bac). So people mistakenly believe that just because they have taken 32 hours at TWU, they get 0.4 added to their GPA automatically, which is not accurate. So that is no longer the case, there is no 0.4 bump anywhere.
1. First attempt A in A&P 1 and Lab
2. First attempt A in A&P 2 and Lab
3. First attempt A in Microbiology and Lab
4. First attempt A in Statistics
5. Having a previous Bachelor's degree.
6. Having 32 hours of credit at TWU (16 for post-bac)
No 0.4 GPA bump, anywhere. Nada. Don't believe me, go up to the second floor of the ASB and ask one of the advisors.
- 0Sorry guess i misread you post thank you and good luck with everything.
- 0May 28, '12 by rosa41988lovesuI have a question the Pathophysiology class y'all are talking about i know is not a prereq, however am guessing its recommend to take before you apply? Just a little confused sorry.
- 1May 29, '12 by ambrekaiQuote from rosa41988lovesuYou are correct You definitely don't need to take the class before you're accepted to the nursing program, but most students do because they've heard it makes the first semester a lot more bearable if they complete it beforehand.I have a question the Pathophysiology class y'all are talking about i know is not a prereq, however am guessing its recommend to take before you apply? Just a little confused sorry.

After its independence in 1993, the Czech Republic became home to tens of thousands of economic migrants. But as Dušan Drbohlav of Charles University reports, tighter restrictions and new laws in accordance with EU standards have not resolved the problems of illegal and transit migration.
In search of a better life, thousands of Nigerian women have signed emigration "pacts" with smugglers before going to Europe, where they are coerced into prostitution. Jørgen Carling of the International Peace Research Institute in Oslo explains.
Over one million Roma, Europe's largest ethnic minority, became EU citizens in May 2004 when eight former communist states joined the EU. But their second-class status persists, as Arno Tanner of the Finnish Directorate of Immigration explains.
Since the 1970s, Norway has become home to thousands of non-European immigrants and refugees. MPI's Betsy Cooper takes a detailed look at how the country seeks to control migration while keeping the door open to labor from an expanding Europe.
Denise Efionayi, Josef Martin Niederberger and Philippe Wanner of the Swiss Forum for Migration and Population Studies explain how Switzerland, with one of the highest percentages of foreigners in Europe, is responding to a variety of migration challenges.
This book reflects the effort of the Transatlantic Council on Migration to map how profound demographic change is likely to affect the size and character of global migration flows; and how governments can shape immigration policy in a world increasingly attuned to the hunt for talent.
This book offers insights into key aspects of the citizenship debate from a policy perspective. It is a result of the deliberations and thinking of the Transatlantic Council on Migration, which brings together leading political figures, policymakers and innovative thinkers from the U.S. and Europe.
Public opinion supports the view that immigrants take natives' jobs and reduce their wages, but most economists disagree. Although basic laws of supply and demand suggest that immigration could reduce wages by increasing the supply of workers, in reality the actual impact of immigration is likely to be small, especially in the long run.
This paper intends to provide a baseline of evidence for policymakers seeking to calibrate their immigration policy responses to the economic downturn, with a focus on the UK.
This short briefing paper explores the potential effects of the economic crisis with respect to immigration across European Union Member States, and outlines how policymakers might respond to changing patterns of migrant inflows and outflows, and the consequences of the downturn on immigrants and their host communities.
This report traces the evolution of the link between international study and skilled migration, outlines policy methods that OECD countries are using to recruit and retain international students, identifies policy challenges through a close examination of existing policies and trends, and predicts how the economic recession will affect future international student flows.
This report explores the need for nations to adjust their thinking and policy toward attracting the coveted elite class of highly skilled global talent as emerging and middle-income countries increasingly attempt to woo back their nationals and engage their diaspora to help move their economy forward.
The Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) and Europe appear to be an ideal demographic match: the former has a large supply of young, active workers, and the latter has a shortage of the youthful, skilled or unskilled labor it needs to sustain its economic competitiveness. MENA is the source of 20 million first-generation migrants, half of them now living in another MENA country and most of the rest in Europe. The region also hosts around the same number within its borders. In addition, the size of MENA's working-age population will continue to rise sharply in the next two decades while the corresponding segment of the population in Europe will soon start to decline.

What does that tell you?
There is really no way anyone can claim Ovy is more deserving. Dude played like crap for half the year. So because he plays great for the other half and his team has like 5th most points in the East...is somehow better than the guy who was great the whole time and our team is in first?
Seems legit.
I'm not going to get in an endless argument. The 2 points that are glaringly obvious are:
1) whenever crosby is out, the pens don't suffer. Don't they have a better record without him?
2) Ovechkin was playing with grinders and an MIA backstrom for a chunk of the year. If you watched any of their games, you would have seen Beagle and Crabb whiff on multiple ovie prime passes and ovie getting triple teamed. Notice how now either he is more open and having legitimate top 6 guys with him opens up the game.
You can't have it both ways. Early on, you were complaining (with many media types) how crosby had crap wingers in Kunitz and Dupuis. Now suddenly, it's look how awesome crosby is. Which is it? Can't be both.
Stamkos, Ovechkin and Crosby are all great players in their own right but it is what it is. They all dominate games. It's not anyone's fault that Crosby is always injured. I told you he was injury prone, the pattern has always been there throughout his career. It's part of the game.
Anyways, this is a waste of energy. I'll let you vent. We will see what happens in the playoffs.

Citrus Circles deodorizing wafers are made of the same blotter paper as deo disks with an oil-based citrus scent applied. They are nontoxic but of course they should not be ingested so please keep away from children. They are individually wrapped and are made in the USA. They are the same size as the deo disks you have been familiar with. There are many other uses for Citrus Circles. You may want to try them in many other places as your garbage can, near your cat box for those pet odors, your vehicle or anywhere you want a fresh, clean citrus scent.
*Now packaged in new non-clumping bags! Charlie's Soap™ Laundry Soap is a revolutionary approach to laundry & cloth diaper care. It does not cover up stains and odors with scents and brighteners - it really cleans. It is made with a unique blend of biodegradable coconut-based detergents and high-grade, completely soluble, Green River washing soda. This also makes it a perfect soap for babies or those with sensitive skin. The ONLY laundry soap that I use on ALL of my wash, due to my son's very sensitive eczema-prone skin.
*Some GREAT studies and reports of Charlie's Soap™:
A test was performed with 100% cotton cloth diapers. Poor rinsability was indicated by a weight gain after controlled washing and drying. Diapers washed in Tide Liquid (at recommended levels) gained nearly 2% in weight after only 8 washings. Those washed in Charlie's Soap™ (at recommended levels and 4 times recommended levels) gained no measurable weight at all.
To qualify as biodegradable, a substance must be 80% degraded in 28 days. Charlie's Soap™ degraded over 97% in soil in 28 days and is certified safe for use in small lakes and streams. Charlie's Soap is a Registered Trademark of Shiloh Products, Inc
*Charlie's Laundry Powder™ is packaged in a 2.64 lb Bag ~ enough for 80 LARGE loads! Only 1 TABLESPOON used per large wash load ~ (Ľ the amount recommended by the competition).
*Charlie's Liquid Laundry Soap™ is packaged in 17oz bottles ~ enough for 16 Large laundry laods. Use only 1/8 cup per large load.

If you have babies or anyone else in the family that has sensitive skin or looking for a diaper detergent, Country Save detergent is a great product to use! It dissolves and rinses completely out of your clothes and there is literally no residue left in the clothes to cause skin irritation. You may find that it is no longer necessary to add fabric softener to your wash with Country Save powdered detergent. When your clothes are washed consistently with Country Save they feel softer because there are no residue build up. Recommended as one of the top detergents to use by cloth diapering manufacturers. Other great features include:
Packaged in trial size 2oz Packets. Enough detergent for 1 full size top load washer or 2 for HE washers. Perfect size to try or to take while traveling.

Do your wash as you normally would with Charlie's Soap and add ˝ to 1 Tablespoon of the Booster for each dose of Soap. As with all laundry additives, be sure to test on garments that may bleed or fade.
One container treats 80+ large wash loads with 1 Tablespoon or 160+ wash loads with 1/2 Tablespoon!
Eco Nuts are completely sustainable dried fruit shells that come from the Sapindus mukorossi tree (also called the Soap Berry or Soap Nut Tree) in Nepal, India and Indonesia. The ones we harvest come from high up in the Himalayas and are the highest quality "soap nut" on the market. These fruit shells have been used in India and China for centuries, and are now gaining popularity in America and Europe as a renewable, biodegradable and organic alternative to chemical detergents and expensive Green laundry soaps.
Eco Nuts contain Saponin, a natural cleaner that works as a surfactant, breaking the surface tension of the water to penetrate the fibers of your clothing, lifting stains from the fabric and leaving dirt suspended in the water that is rinsed away.
Eco Nuts are gentle on both clothes and skin, making them ideal for those with sensitive skin, eczema, allergies and psoriasis. Because they are so mild, they are perfect for baby clothes and cloth diapers. All-Natural Eco Nuts are also great for septic and grey water systems. But donˇŻt expect these shells to foam up like commercial soaps, which have artificial foaming agents. Foam simply does not represent cleaning power.
Eco Nuts are wild-harvested, meaning they are gathered from wild trees grown without any kind of chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides. The Saponin actually tastes bad to insects so no pesticides are needed, and the trees naturally love poor uncultivated soil. They are organically grown by mother earth and certified USDA Organic by EcoCert at the source.
Eco Nuts are Nut Allergy Safe! Eco Nuts are actually a berry fruit related to the lychee and are not nuts at all. They are completely nut allergy safe and have been used successfully with no reactions by people with nut allergies. They earned the name "nuts" because they dry into hard shells like nuts instead of squishy fruit.
While Eco Nuts has been a terrific solution for many customers with skin allergies and other conditions, people who have many allergies or compromised immune systems should always take proper precautions and first wash one small item in a small container or sink OR do a patch test before washing an entire load in the washing machine.
Our proprietary sorting process also ensures a consistency in shape and texture that makes Eco Nuts pleasant and easy to use. Because we lovingly and carefully hand package in the USA, we can also eliminate individualized plastic wrapping otherwise required by customs.
In addition, many regular soap nuts are harvested, sorted and prepared in the outdoors, and dried on a rooftoop. This exposes them to the elements and birds or other animals! We take great care to ensure our soap nuts are carefully prepared and stored indoors in a clean facility. Our soap nuts are carefully sorted using our proprietary process to ensure they are free from contaminants before they are packaged! After all this sorting and care, those soap nuts become Eco Nuts! We are currently the only soap nut company that we know of to be utilizing these methods and technology both in the US and overseas to make these soap nuts safer. They are safe to use in both standard & high-efficiency (HE) machines on any water temperature.
*Offered in 2 sizes: Trial Size (or travel) Comes with 1 Reusable wash bag, Instructions, and Eco Nuts for 10 loads. Medium Size Comes with 2 Reusable wash bags, Instructions, and Eco Nuts for 100 loads! Safe for all washers.

This 16 oz bag will last you for several cycles, making it a great value!

LXDE RDP on CentOS?
Here is an info that LXDE works on CentOS (yum install lxde) my result is: "No package lxde available.". But thats not a big problem, i think i can install it somehow manually. Issue is with VNC server, there is some guide and there too, but it looks little bit complicated.. anyone have idea on simple setup or link to short efficient guide?

yum groupinstall LXDEIssue is with VNC server, there is some guide and there too, but it looks little bit complicated.. anyone have idea on simple setup or link to short efficient guide?
su - ;yum install vnc-server
3. create VNC session start-up script for regular user. create/edit a file called:
#!/bin/bash startlxde &
chmod +x ~/.vnc/xstartup
vncserver :1
now the Xvnc process should have kicked off, and the lxde session should be running in it. look for them in "ps". if it doesn't start up, check the logs in the ~/.vnc/ directory.
now try to connect from the local machine (might need to "yum install vnc" first), e.g.:
vncviewer localhost:1
You can integrate this as a daemon/service (so it starts up with the rest of the init system upon boot up), but get this part working first.
- 10-30-2013 #3
Then, when you start the vnc server with
service vncserver start
You can ensure it always starts after each reboot with
chkconfig vncserver on

yeah, roxoff, this is what i meant by "You can integrate this as a daemon/service", but i find it good to test first, before making things permanent. you've saved me a post, though!

any idea please what repository to add or where to download, what to do?
- 10-31-2013 #6
According to the official LXDE docs the correct incantation should be
yum install @lxde-desktop
- 10-31-2013 #7Code:
yum install @lxde-desktop
this returned: "0 packages excluded due to repository protections"
I used this manual to install Gnome Desktop instead on my centos 5.x, but still would like to do LXDE, because its easier to manage and has package manager (synaptic).

(CBS) - President Obama vowed on Wednesday to do whatever was necessary to protect the American public from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), but Mike Morell, the former deputy director of the CIA who is now a national security analyst for CBS News, says the administration might not understand the immediacy and severity of that threat.
The U.S. military mission in Iraq is narrowly focused on helping displaced Iraqis by flying in humanitarian aid, and protecting U.S. interests in the country -- not on targeting ISIS leadership.
That, says Morell, is not enough. He argues the relatively "small leadership" of the group must become the focus, along with reclaiming territory those leaders now control, and "that means capturing or killing them."
Morell explains that under current White House policy in order to take lethal action against any individual terror suspect, that person must be a member of a named terrorist organization (ISIS meets this requirement), and they must pose a direct threat -- and capture cannot be an option.
"I don't know if they (Obama administration) have made that determination or not," said Morell.
The former CIA insider says the only way to effectively combat ISIS, which has re-branded itself simply the "Islamic State," is to bolster Iraq's own military force -- which literally ran away in many instances from the Sunni extremists as they spread from Syria into north and west Iraq earlier this summer, and to get better intelligence on the leaders' movements.
It remains unclear, however, how much information U.S. officials have on the whereabouts of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi or his top aids. If the group's leaders are still in Syria -- a distinct possibility given that ISIS is now being actively targeted by U.S. air power in Iraq -- finding and killing them would be no easy task.
Senior administration officials have told CBS News White House correspondent Major Garrett that the vast majority of intelligence from Syria is signals-based, meaning from cellular and other forms of electronic communication.
Human intelligence from inside the war-torn country is rare and thought to be less reliable.
Highlighting the challenges of trying to operate in Syria, the U.S. government acknowledged for the first time on Wednesday a failed attempt by Special Operations Forces to rescue American hostages held in the country by ISIS -- including journalist James Foley, who was later brutally executed by the group.
"The U.S. government had what we believed was sufficient intelligence, and when the opportunity presented itself, the president authorized the Department of Defense to move aggressively to recover our citizens," said Lisa Monaco, Obama's top counterterrorism adviser, in a statement. "Unfortunately, that mission was ultimately not successful because the hostages were not present."

From first glance they don't seem too warm, but many gloves work that way. Will these stay useful on the colder days?
Mike D Hilverda
They have decent insulation and a PU coating which will help make them weather resistant. However, they are not a waterproof glove so they could be colder on wet days. If you are looking for something that is a little higher in tech than fashion I would recommend seeking out a Gore-Tex glove or an ultra warm model like the Marmot Expedition.

We provide a physical interpretation of the Kirchhoff index of any molecules as well as of the Wiener index of acyclic ones. For the purpose, we use a local vertex invariant that is obtained from first principles and describes the atomic displacements due to small vibrations/oscillations of atoms from their equilibrium positions. In addition, we show that the topological atomic displacements correlate with the temperature factors (B-factors) of atoms obtained by X-ray crystallography for both organic molecules and biological macromolecules.

We've known for awhile that incomes have been dropping for people with only high school educations. But there was a statistic in a recent Pew Research Center study that really set me back on my heels: 22% of people aged 25 to 32 who graduated high school, but not college, live in poverty. That compares to 6% of people with college degrees.
The poverty rate overall and for the college educated has doubled since 1979, when the early wave of the Baby Boom was in the same age bracket. For those with just a high school diploma, though, the rate has more than tripled.
Meanwhile, the earnings gap between college graduates and high school graduates is the widest it's been in 50 years.
For more on the Pew study, read my latest Reuters column. You can subscribe here to weekly updates of my education column.

As a statistician, I would want to know a little more about this PEW research. They are very reputable and I'm sure they had an excellent study, but I'm not sure all of the findings can be distilled into one sentence.
It would seem to me that "motivation" might be a cofactor in the progress of students from HS to college and then from college to career. There are ways to measure whether these HS graduates ceased to progress in society because of economic factors or other reasons.
I know I am sort of in the "Mike Rowe" camp when it comes to success. HS graduates do have opportunities, they aren't as heralded as careers like doctor & lawyer, but they are there. However those opportunities also require some desire to succeed & progress via apprenticeship or vocational/technical training.
Your Reuters column is incorrectly linked.
Thanks! It's fixed now.
My background's in economics, so I share your suspicion of too-small data sets…but in this case Pew (which sets a high standard anyway) used the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey. As you note, the opportunities are there for those who pursue some post-secondary education. Succeeding without that will, as the Pew economist points out, be increasingly rare.

Wont boot, stuck in repair mode. Need help reading cbs.log for tips
A few weeks ago I noticed my PC was offline (can't remember if it was BSOD or just off) and when I tried to start it up, the "moving glowing windows" logo during boot did not display the colored windows and it seemed to take a detour into immediate repair boot mode. However, it didn't find anything to replair. I tried this several (at least 15) times and only once did it mention that rdyboost.sys was corrupt. I don't use ready boost and never have...
I have tried replacing this file, I have tried running chkdsk. I have backup/imaged the disk in question, restoring it to another disk, and even tried using this disk to boot in an almost identical 2nd PC (both computers are HP Z600s). It does appear that there were some bad sectors on the disk at some point. Unfortunately, I'm at my wit's end and unable to get it booted into windows so I can do a repair install. I have access to the files when connected into another computer, but would really like to be able to boot this drive up to be able to retrieve config and other files off it before I completely wipe and start over. For example, I have several outlook accounts and the like I want to retrieve.
Tonight, I booted from the DVD (windows ultimate 32bit retail) and went into repair mode and ran sfc /scannow and it's full of errors (lots of update errors???). Would really appreciate any insight into what to do next. Would love to be able to simply do a repair install to replace the broken windows files but apparently this can only be done from within a working system now (what the heck, microsoft?)
Thanks in advance!
