DIY: Hand Painted Bobby Pins
When my days get stressful I start feeling a bit nostalgic and long for simpler times. Nothing provides me a brief respite from grown up worries more than closing my eyes and remembering the summers of my childhood. Sitting outside in the grass for hours, being shoeless from June to September, and having absolutely no obligations. What I wouldn't give for just one day like that now!
This craft is one of my favorite DIY projects and it dates back to those long, uneventful summers. I used to make these hand painted bobby pins a few times each summer on the rare days when I stayed inside. As an adult, I make them when I want to spruce up my accessory wardrobe but don't actually feel like leaving the house. This is a fast and fun project that can be done with items you likely have lying around your house as we speak.
- Nail polish
- Bobby pins
- Paper
How To
- Slide your bobby pins onto the edge of a piece of paper. Make sure the entire bobby pin is on the paper. Also, leave about ½ inch of space between the bobby pins.
- Cover the flat side of the bobby pin with nail polish. (Did you know you are supposed to wear bobby pins with the ridged side down? Consider your mind blown.)
- If you want to create dots or layers, you don't even need to wait for the bottom layer of polish to dry. You can just use the corner of the brush to create dots right on top of the wet polish.
- Let the bobby pins dry.
- (Optional) Cover the polished bobby pins with a clear coat of polish to seal the paint. Let dry.
- Once the bobby pins are dry, remove from the paper and enjoy!
Note: You can also be a bit more bold and make patterns by grouping a bunch of bobby pins together and painting them all at once. Here is my version of a chevron on the bobby pins!

They still make bobby pins?
Haha yes they do, but I thought they're supposed to be invisible, secretly holding a bit of hair just where it needs to stay. I would try to paint them a color close to my hair, like if I was blonde I would paint them gold. IF I really felt it was important. Personally, I think the author has way too much free time on her hands. : D

She's (coming) baaaaaaack.
Rumor has it that Jacqueline Laurita is making a dramatic return to the "Real Housewives of New Jersey."
TMZ reports that the "RHONJ" original will be back after leaving the show before its current, sixth season.
Insiders tells TMZ that she was let go because she "lost her edge" while handling personal issues, and Dina Manzo isn't happy.
Following her decision to quit after season 2, Dina made her return to the show only after both Jacqueline and Caroline Manzo left, with the latter departing for her own spinoff, "Manzo'd with Family."
Dina and Jacqueline's feud continued even after the cameras stopped rolling, including Jacqueline's foreboding tweet from July:
I advise you not to imply any more "hints" if you don't want the truth to come out. @dinamanzo Enough!
— Jacqueline Laurita (@JacLaurita) July 14, 2014
I advise you not to imply any more "hints" if you don't want the truth to come out. @dinamanzo Enough!
That's likely the juice producers are looking for, as the three new Housewives – Amber, Teresa and Nicole – are not cutting it.
As for her potential return, she teased last week, "I won't say never 2 #RHONJ #INeededABreakFromDrama."
The new season of "RHONJ" airs Sundays at 8pm on Bravo. Are you happy about Jacqueline's return?

Characteristics of the high response:
The response shows that there is a firm connection between the playground map representation of the situation and the pictures from James' viewpoint.
The dots are all labeled within the limits indicated in the answer key above. (Note that a location for D in which the fort blocks the umbrella is preferable to one in which the merry-go-round blocks the umbrella, because it looks as if the merry-go-round is not tall enough.) The pictures in question 3 are drawn in the correct order, although the individual drawings can be just good enough to be recognizable.
The explanation for question 5 is well reasoned. Ordinarily, in a high response, the child says "No," and explains that if the fort is on the left and the umbrella on the right, then the merry-go-round has to be in front of both of them.
Other high responses will be more inventive: "If the boat is where the view of the merry-go-round is blocked by the fort, then James will see the fort on his left and the umbrella on his right if he stands on his head." An unanticipated response like this shows a mature ability to visualize!
Characteristics of the medium response:
The response shows an overall grasp of the situation; at most, one of the responses to questions 1 through 4 is incorrect.
The response to question 5 is correct, (No), but the explanation is inadequate. For example, "I couldn't find a place where that would happen."

See you there!
Last week saw the release of the Windows Phone Developer Tools CTP - April Refresh, a free set of tools and an emulator that lets everyone get started writing Windows Phone 7 applications. Not only is the application platform for Windows Phone 7 based on the same Silverlight framework many of us already know and love, but the tools run on any standard Windows machine and the inclusion of the device emulator means you can test apps on the device without having a device. It's a great developer story and I'm a big fan!
However, because Windows Phone 7 is still under development, early adopters sometimes need to deal with a few rough edges... :) I'd heard of occasional difficulties when folks tried to update their applications to run on the April Tools Refresh, so I thought it would be a good learning experience to update an application myself. The obvious choice was my "Silverlight Data Visualization assembly running on Windows Phone 7" blog post sample. Here's how it went for me on a machine that already had the April Refresh installed:
<Capability Name="ID_CAP_NETWORKING" />
<Capability Name="ID_CAP_LOCATION" />
<Capability Name="ID_CAP_SENSORS" />
<Capability Name="ID_CAP_MICROPHONE" />
<Capability Name="ID_CAP_MEDIALIB" />
<Capability Name="ID_CAP_GAMERSERVICES" />
<Capability Name="ID_CAP_PHONEDIALER" />
<Capability Name="ID_CAP_PUSH_NOTIFICATION" />
<Capability Name="ID_CAP_WEBBROWSERCOMPONENT" />
Aside: Yes, this is super-goofy - but I'm told it's going to be fixed!
So, when all is said and done, this ended up being more involved than I expected - but once I jumped through the hoops, my sample application worked exactly the same as it did when I wrote it. I'm happy to report that Charting still runs fine on Windows Phone 7 - and that I've updated the source code download with these changes so nobody else needs to repeat the process! :)

One of the drawbacks of the DIRECTV's "functionally identical" receiver recycling model is that they can't tout any feature that they don't all have. If you don't claim a feature, you can remove it at a later date with a lot better deniability.
It is definitely a feature that Directv should tout. Far better than the data available on DISH receivers.
Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought. -- JFK

I was just curious as to the response from DirecTV the poster got that reference doing an OTA scan. No receiver model was mentioned.

Posted on Zap2it's Facebook page. That always gets CentruyLink's attention! (It doesn't look like TMS has a Facebook page)
Say, all of us post on their wall that their that (fill in the DMA) OTA guide data for DirecTV receivers needs updating/corrections. I would not be surprised if we all get a quick response.

LA has WAY more OTA channels listed than most DMAs, I understand LA or one of the other DMAs that have a lot of OTA channels but they can at least update the other DMAs with fewer OTA channels
Posted 11 September 2012 - 01:11 PM
Posting on TMS' Zap2it FB page can't hurt. you can also send a message via their FB page.
I think the Guide info is on CONUS transponders, so I don't think it matters as to how many one market has compared to another.
As I stated, I'm good in my market except for one channel. One of my neighboring market's is complete, and the other is missing three.
I'm just interested in knowing if there is SOMEONE at Tribune who will actually take an interest in getting corrections to their data.

Self-monitoring is a technique used in treatment of eating disorders. It involves logging meals, thoughts, feelings, and the use of coping skills. I don't require that my patients self-monitor. I tell say: "Self-monitoring takes a commitment of time and effort. The most effective evidence-based treatment approaches for adults incorporate self-monitoring. The information you record will be very helpful to me as your provider. You won't have to do it forever. It is not something that normal eaters do."
Let me introduce you to two new self-monitoring apps designed specifically for patients with eating disorders, Recovery Record and Rise Up. These apps have been developed by wonderfully inspiring young women who were both kind enough to spend time with me on the phone talking about their endeavors and both were eager to pick my brain about how to improve their apps. I encourage my patients to check out both Recovery Record and Rise Up to decide which app is right for them. Recovery Record has an amazing array of features, but could be overwhelming. Rise Up is more basic. Both are free to users. If users allow it, clinicians can view self-monitoring data.

P2P Privacy Target of New Legislation
Software developers would be required to clearly inform users when their
files are made available to other peer-to-peer users under legislation
introduced Feb. 24 by Sens. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and John Thune, R-S.D. The
legislation comes just one day after the Federal Trade Commission notified nearly 100 organizations Feb. 23 that
the use of P2P programs on their computer networks had resulted in significant
data breaches involving sensitive information about customers and employees.
The FTC said users of these networks risk the exposure of personal information, including health-related information, financial records, and drivers' license and Social Security numbers, which can lead to identify theft.
"As a former prosecutor, I know that identity theft and security leaks can be prevented," Klobuchar said in a statement. "Families across Minnesota run the risk of unintentionally sharing all of their private files like tax returns, legal documents, medical records and home movies when they are connected to peer-to-peer networks. This bill will let people know-in a way that they can understand-that their personal files are being shared with complete strangers."
The P2P Cyber Protection and Informed User Act would prohibit P2P file-sharing programs from being installed without the informed consent of the authorized computer user. The legislation would also prohibit P2P software that would prevent the authorized user from blocking the installation of a P2P file-sharing program and/or disabling or removing any P2P file-sharing program.
"It is important that consumers are aware of the privacy and security threats associated with some peer-to-peer file-sharing programs," Thune said. "The P2P Cyber Protection and Informed User Act is an important step in achieving this goal."

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 30 -- Arab exports of natural gas have increased by more than 50% over the past four years with the majority of the increase coming from Qatar, according to official data.
The Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC), in its 2009 statistical report, said the Arab region's total gas exports rose by 54.4% to 161.9 billion cu m in 2008 from 104.8 billion cu m in 2004.
Arab gas reserves stood at 53.7 trillion cu m at yearend 2008, according to the OAPEC report, which said that Qatar has nearly half the Arab gas potential, with more than 25 trillion cu m.
The OAPEC report said Algeria remained the leading Arab gas exporter in 2008, with its exports of 59.4 billion cu m accounting for more than a third of the total Arab gas sales.
But the report also noted that Algeria's exports have remained static in 2004-08, while those of Qatar have rocketed to 56.8 billion cu m from 24.1 billion cu m during the same period.
With 16.9 billion cu m in 2008, Egypt was the third-largest Arab gas exporter in 2008, followed by Oman 10.9 billion cu m, Libya 10.4 billion cu m, and the UAE 7.5 billion cu m.
The OAPEC report forecast that Qatar, which controls 15% of the world's proven gas resources, will dominate the gas export trade in the region due to new projects planned for the North Field, which has more than 900 tcf of proven gas resources.
Qatar produced 30 million tonnes of LNG in 2008 and output could surpass 50 million tonnes in 2009. By yearend 2011, Qatar is forecast to produce 77 million tonnes of LNG.

Russia to launch floating nuclear power plant in 2016
The Fukushima nuclear disaster of 2011 put the world on notice that putting nuclear power plants in areas prone to natural disasters can result in even greater disasters. However, a new plan emerging from Russia to create the world's first floating nuclear power plant may be upping the ante in terms of ecologically perilous ideas.
Dubbed the Akademik Lomonosov, the massive ship will be the first in what will be a fleet of floating nuclear plants launched by Russia. The ships will generate enough power to serve a small city of 200,000 people, providing up to 70 megawatts of electricity or 300 megawatts of heat. But rather than target the technology toward the general public, the initial rollout is meant to serve remote port cities, offshore oil rigs, and large industrial concerns.
Interestingly, the ship will not have the ability to travel on its own, requiring a towing boat to move from place to place. According to a report in Russia Today, officials claim that the ship is safe from threats such as tsunamis, but we've heard that before in the case of Fukushima, so such claims may offer little comfort to the project's critics.
Although the ship would be the first of its kind, limited to Russian waters, other countries including China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Algeria, Namibia, Cape Verde, and Argentina have expressed interest in using the technology. The Akademik Lomonosov is slated to begin operation by 2016.

Here is an imagery suggestion, how about styleizing the Oc at the start so that the c is almost closed up and the whole thing looks like an infinity symbol given the nature of the products you offer.
I have plans for the future of my side-line in printer related, land-fill/cost saving enterprise but the logo and colour scheme is, erm... well, it would be nice if colour was a component to be honest.
So, I humbly throw myself at the mercy of the graphics gods/goofs/gophers? and ask for your help in coming up with something that fits the bill for both print and web presences..
The current site and logo is here but beyond wanting to keep the web layout about the same I am wiiiiide open to suggestions.
The name is OctoInkjet but I'm debating just shortening it to OctoInk too...
Colour has never been my strong point so I'm also open to recommendations of good colour blends for re-doing the sites CSS styling...
Rewards/payment... Well I'm happy to pay a reasonable rate, provide a link in my FAQ for the question "Who did your logo?" and/or make a donation to comic relief, red cross, your beer fund, etc... as required...

Why octoink and not contink? allthough octoink looks a bit like october oink (oct oink)
Here's a draft mockup, you could use the concept with contink to but would be slightly trickier to pull off.
Just did it in publisher, font is Lucida Sans although I'm sure better options exist, just not on my laptop

The waste kit side of things was something that really took off though and despite some really poor competitors doing the usual scrape and re-sell routine with my resources I've built up a good communication and customer service rep'. Everything else like refilling, etc.. has come about from my willingness to apply my knowledge of communicating at the lowest common denominator (see all that working in schools has helped! ) and take that to other levels.
... but we're getting off track... I'll have a play with Synacks idea myself when I've got my tablet back out of its dusty draw... I have a pretty good idea of where this could go...
It's OctoInk not OcotoInk though
OcotoInk sounds Japanese
BARKER: 'O's!
CORBETT: 'O's?
BARKER: 'O's.
(He goes to get a hoe, and places it on the counter)
BARKER: No, 'O's!
CORBETT: 'O's! I thought you said 'O! (he takes the hose back, and gets a hose, whilst muttering) When you said 'O's, I thought you said 'O! 'O's!
(He places the hose onto the counter)
BARKER: No, 'O's!
CORBETT (confused for a moment): O's? Oh, you mean panty 'o's, panty 'o's! (he picks up a pair of tights from beside him)
BARKER: No, no, 'O's! 'O's for the gate. Mon repose! 'O's! Letter O's!
CORBETT (finally realising): Letter O's! (muttering) You had me going there!
(He climbs up a stepladder, gets a box down, puts the ladder away, and takes the box to the counter, and searches through it for letter O's)
CORBETT: How many d'you want?
BARKER: Two.

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) -- Jay Feaster has been fired as general manager of the Calgary Flames, with the team in next-to-last place in the Western Conference.
The Flames did not make the playoffs in Feaster's two full seasons as GM. This year, Calgary has just 26 points and is in 13th place in its conference.
He became acting general manager midway through the 2010-11 season. In 2004, Feaster was general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning team that beat Calgary to win the Stanley Cup.
Assistant GM John Weisbrod also was let go Thursday. There is no immediate word on successors to Feaster or Weisbrod.
President of hockey operations Brian Burke is to discuss the moves later in the day.

Boy With The BreadI rush into the bakery, because my dad called for me about twenty minutes ago to help him around. I was just finishing my homework, but my mother ordered me to go and that's why I'm here."I'm here, dad." I say, slipping on the apron and getting ready to assist. "Glad to see you, Peeta." He says without looking up from the bread he's kneading. "What do you want me to do?" I ask him. He points at the tray lined with rolls. "I'm sure you can handle that now. I've taught you how to put it in for many times." He says, observing the down pour outside. "Man, it's raining cats and dogs out there." My brother comments as he slides himself into the picture. "Mind if I push you out there, Peeta?" He smirks at me with a devilish grin. As being the youngest of the bunch, my special treatment is this. I give him my best 'what the' look, and he turns away. I push in the rolls into the oven and close the door. My mother steps in, looking something between gloomy and angry. She holds a gaze at us unti

Does passing something,
beat doing nothing?
Is ramming through an unpopular bill,
paramount if it empties the federal till?
Do unquestionable moral positives,
outweigh obvious political negatives?
Does failure to govern and lead,
compromise your political creed?
Is this a crisis of confidence,
or a crisis of competence?
Who should pay for health reform,
the wealthy, insured, or infirm?
Given this test of multiple choice
My bet is Reform will pass without rejoice.
If passed, two questions will linger,
Was this much to do about something,
or nuch ado about nothing?
Was it truly historical,
or was it mainly rhetorical?

My husband and I have been together for 19 years.

I think you should start out with the marriage counseling and go from there. I seriously doubt that the counselor will in any way encourage him to leave and go be with the other woman. Marriage counselors are there to help struggling couples save their marriage, not to encourage divorce. It's a good thing that he is willing to go to counseling and work on the marriage as some men aren't and basically just walk out. A good MC can give you exercises to help you reconnect. GOOD LUCK.
|Wed, 02-08-2012 - 11:38am
Well, he has removed her as a friend on Facebook and has told her to cut contact.
|Wed, 02-08-2012 - 12:10pm
I think only time will tell whether the marriage can be rebuilt. It will be a gradual process. The counseling should really help. And yes passion does tend to fade after many years of marriage, but you can renew your passion for each other if you really want it. Start slow by doing something simple like taking a daily walk together and hand holding, and then throw in a few kisses.Renewing the passion will also be a gradual process but it is possible if you BOTH want it.
|Wed, 02-08-2012 - 12:25pm
I'm going to try to tread lightly here because I recently had an A with a man who is married ( as am I) it was, the worst decision of my life. Try to get your husband to join this site...EAS board. Let him hear from all of us who nearly ruined our lives, destroyed our spouses, endangered our kids. Let him hear from all of us who had to go NC with the affair partner for a month in order to see we were never in love with them...only the feelings they brought us. If he does that, he will probably figure it out, too. The empty hole hr was trying to fill with her can be filled with you...the problem was in himself and she was a bandaid. He loved what age elevated him to. But no person in their right mind leaves 19 years and a family behind for two months of sweet talk and a fantasy. Real life seems boring compared to it and so will his RL with her, if he ever chose that.
Ask him to.join ivillage...EAS or after your affair board. It will be his wake up call. Good luck to you. I'm sorry for what you are going through. I am suffering deeply and sadly in my case, I know I deserve it. You do not.

"And he has pretty much told me that although he is committed to working on our marriage, he doesn't see how it will work because he can't imagine feeling "that way" towards me again."
Oh Hon., that statement does not show a man "committed" to working on his M, IMO.
|Wed, 02-08-2012 - 1:52pm
I also thought that statement didn't sound too good. BUT if he can pull his head out of the A fog and get that his A isn't reality maybe he'd come around. I can't help but remember how "in love " my H swore he was with the OW, and how quickly that fog lifted when the relationship was tested in real life.

"New research from North Carolina State University and the University of Minnesota finds that people in the United States want labels on food products that use nanotechnology - whether the nanotechnology is in the food or is used in food packaging. The research also shows that many people are willing to pay more for the labeling."
"A group of NGOs led by the European Environmental Bureau (EEB) has written to the Titanium Dioxide Manufacturers Association (TDMA) to express their continuing concerns about the safety of the substance.
In a letter, seen by Chemical Watch, the NGOs say they would particularly like to reiterate their worries 'regarding the contradictory information disseminated by chemicals manufacturers in relation to titanium dioxide'. They add that some of the information 'disregards scientific studies used for the evaluation of associated risks' with exposure to the chemical."
Toward Advancing Nano-Object Count Metrology: A Best Practice Framework - Environmental Health Perspectives
"Substantial scientific scrutiny is needed in the area of nanomaterial metrology to establish best practices and to develop suitable methods before implementing definitions based solely on number percent nano-object content for regulatory purposes. Strong cooperation between industry, academia, and research institutions will be required to fully develop and implement detailed frameworks for nanomaterial identification with respect to emerging count-based metrics."
"'The penetration of silver nanoparticles is dangerous to consumers because they have the ability to relocate in the human body after digestion,' Lin says. 'Therefore, smaller nanoparticles may be more harmful to consumers than larger counterparts.'
When ingested, nanoparticles pass into the blood and lymph system, circulate through the body and reach potentially sensitive sites such as the spleen, brain, liver, and heart.
The growing trend to use other types of nanoparticles has revolutionized the food industry by enhancing flavors, improving supplement delivery, keeping food fresh longer, and brightening the colors of food. However, researchers worry that the use of silver nanoparticles could harm the human body."
Extracellular glutamate level and NMDA receptor subunit expression in mouse olfactory bulb following nanoparticle-rich diesel exhaust exposure. [Inhal Toxicol. 2009] - PubMed - NCBI
"In this present study, we aimed to investigate the extracellular glutamate level and memory function-related gene expression in the mouse olfactory bulb after exposure of the animals to nanoparticle-rich diesel exhaust (NRDE) with or without bacterial cell wall component. ... This is the first study to show the correlation between glutamate toxicity and memory function-related gene expressions in the mouse olfactory bulb following exposure to NRDE."
"Scientist Mengshi Lin and his colleagues tested the extent to which silver nanoparticles remain as a residue on and even penetrate into the pulp of fresh fruit. They immersed the pears in a nanosilver solution that is similar to a pesticide application and repeatedly washed and rinsed them. After four days, the nanoparticles remained attached to the skin of the pears and had also become embedded into their pulp.
The penetration of silver nanoparticles is dangerous to consumers because they have the ability to relocate in the human body after digestion. Therefore, smaller nanoparticles may be more harmful to consumers than larger counterparts," says Lin."
"The scientists note that, once ingested, nanoparticles can pass into the blood and lymph system, circulate through the body and reach potentially sensitive sites such as the spleen, brain, liver, and heart. Nanosilver's presence in clothing and cosmetics provides another potential route of exposure. A recent study revealed that athletic wear impregnated with nanosilver can cause the substance to seep into a person's skin through one's sweat. A 2009 study showed that washing these types of nanosilver-impregnated textiles resulted in an unknown spread of the substance into the environment. Due to its small size, nanosilver is often not filtered out by conventional wastewater treatment plants. After entering the environment, past studies show nanosilver can have devastating impacts on wildlife, including deformities in fish and immune suppression in earthworms.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been criticized by scientists and consumer and environmental groups for its role in regulating emerging nanotechnology. A 2013 National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) report provided a scathing account of EPA's "conditional" registration of nanosilver, which the agency approved under the assumption that its use would reduce the overall burden of conventional silver in the environment. However, despite its novel antibacterial properties, the material did not undergo a full range of required tests, and there is no labeling system that would alert consumers to the presence of this largely untested substance in consumer products. A 2012 industry newsletter placed EPA's delay over nanotechnology regulation on White House officials in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Richard Denison, PhD, senior scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund explained, "My understanding is that there is a view in some circles in the White House that they do not want to stigmatize nanomaterials nor stifle the technology even by requiring the reporting of information that EPA needs to make judgments as to whether there are risks.""
Analysis of the occupational, consumer and environmental exposure to engineered nanomaterials used in 10 technology sectors - Informa Healthcare
"Based on the likelihood of exposure, it appears that in general most attention should be paid to the agrifood, chemistry/materials, textiles and health sectors; and less to the information and communication technology (ICT), security and energy sectors. Toxicity and exposure are both important; however, the EHS impact of nanomaterials is always dependent on their particular use."
The European Commission's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety has published its opinions on the risks posed by nano titanium dioxide, and an addendum to its previous opinion on nano zinc oxide used as UV filters in cosmetic products.
Scientists are only just beginning to understand the potential risks associated with releasing nanomaterials into the environment. These include potentially harmful effects on soil and water organisms.
"People eating conventional diets may ingest a trillion microparticles of the food whitening additive titanium dioxide every day. What implication might this have for inflammation in the gut?"
"The Brazilian government has rejected a proposal to regulate labelling of cosmetics, food and pharmaceuticals, because provisions relating to nanomaterials were considered insufficient."
"A new study suggests there's more to nanoparticle toxicology than cell life and death. Although immune cells treated with iron oxide particles appeared healthy in standard toxicology tests, they struggled to perform one of their key jobs: engulfing pathogenic bacteria (ACS Nano 2013, DOI: 10.1021/nn402145t). The researchers wonder if exposure to significant levels of the nanoparticles could lead to dysfunction in people's immune systems."
"Cutting cumulative exposure to carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the workplace is imperative for reducing the potential for adverse effects, according to a study by researchers from the US's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (Niosh)."
The European Commission has called on the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) for a full risk assessment on the safe use of the nano form of silica in cosmetic products.
Photosensitivity and photodynamic events in black, red and blue tattoos are common: A 'Beach Study' [J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol. 2013] - PubMed - NCBI
"Complaints such as swelling, itching, stinging, pain and redness are common, predominantly in black and red tattoos, but also frequent in blue tattoos, thus, not confined to one specific colour or chemical entity or class of pigment. Symptoms may switch on and off in seconds, typically not of the weal-and-flare type. Photochemical reactions to pigment or pigment-breakdown products in situ in the skin with induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is presumed to be one causative mechanism. Another possible mechanism especially relevant in black may be induction of ROS due to effects of aggregation of carbon black nanoparticles."
"A partnership between the Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) and the National Council of Scientific and Technological Knowledge (CNPq) will focus on research into the use of nanotechnology in health-related products and the need for regulation."
"Beware personal care products that tout use of nanoparticles, nanomaterials or nanotechnology. This emerging technology is almost entirely untested for its health effects, and no requirements exist for either testing or labeling these products to make sure consumers are both safe and informed. That means that you might be getting a dose of nano without even knowing it."
Nanotech innovation high, but 'playing catch-up' on health and safety - Nanotechnology: Harmful or Benign? | Investigative Reporting Workshop
"The businesses and trade groups lobbying against proposed action on nanotechnology by the EPA, the Food and Drug Administration and other federal agencies include the American Chemistry Council and its nanotechnology business panel. Among the panel's members are Procter & Gamble, BASF Corp., Dow Chemical Co., DuPont, Lockheed Martin Corp. and 3M, all of which use nanomaterial in making at least some of their products or processes. Other key lobbying groups are the NanoBusiness Commercialization Association and the Nanotechnology Industries Association. Nanotechnology practices have sprung up in law and lobby firms, among them Steptoe & Johnson LLP, Foley & Lardner LLP and Bergeson & Campbell PC. The combined amount of money spent on lobbying by these firms last year was more than $200 million, and their campaign contributions to federal candidates during the 2011-2012 election cycle exceeded $120 million.
One of the best-known scientist-lobbyists, Rosalind Volpe, made a name for herself defending another industry with a public health and environmental public relations problem: lead. Volpe runs the Silver Nanotechnology Working Group and remains a consultant to the International Lead Zinc Research Organization.
"She knows how to lobby for difficult chemicals," said Jaydee Hanson, a senior policy analyst at the Center for Food Safety, which studies the impact of nanotechnology on food. "She works for five little companies, but they've managed to hold up regulations over at the OMB," a reference to the White House Office of Management and Budget."
Jake Donald's curator insight, February 18, 8:27 PM
Nanotechnology is a topic on the rise. This technology deals with the manipulation of nanoparticles on a microscopic level. Nanotechnology has lead to advancements in agriculture, medicine, electronics, and almost every sector of commerce. The world market is expected to purchase $2.6 trillion in nanomaterials by the year 2015.
Interviews with professionals and regulators showed no result in whether nanotechnology was harmful to health. Public health officials are troubled by this because many companies can market this technology without knowing that it is harmful. Many big businesses already use nanotechnology in their products.
Changes in neurotransmitter levels and proinflammatory cytokine mRNA expressions in the mice olfactory bulb following nanoparticle exposure. [Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2008] - PubMed - NCBI
Recently, there have been increasing reports that nano-sized component of particulate matter can reach the brain and may be associated with neurodegenerative diseases.
Iron oxide nanoparticle agglomeration influences dose rates and modulates oxidative stress-mediated dose–response profiles in vitro - Informa Healthcare
"Because of the dynamic, size and density-dependent nature of ENP delivery to cells in vitro, the biological consequences of agglomeration are not discernible from static measures of exposure concentration (μg/ml) alone, highlighting the central importance of integrated physical characterisation and quantitative dosimetry for in vitro studies. The combined experimental and computational approach provides a quantitative framework for evaluating relationships between the biocompatibility of nanoparticles and their physical and chemical characteristics."
"Although a majority of aggregated or stable NPs [nanoparticles] were removed by simulated conventional and advanced treatment, NP metals were detectable in finished water. As environmental NP concentrations increase, we need to consider NPs as emerging drinking water contaminants, and determine appropriate drinking water treatment processes to fully remove NPs in an effort to reduce their potential harmful health outcomes."
"Our findings suggest that particles < 0.5 µm in diameter may be most responsible for adverse health effects of particulate air pollution, and that adverse health effects may increase with decreasing particle size."
Nanosized aluminum being sprayed in the atmosphere, causing degenerative disease, says neurosurgeon - Natural News
According to neuro-surgeon Russell L. Blaylock, the nanosized aluminum particles found in chem-trails are contributing heavily to degenerative disease today.
Environmental Illness Network Minnesota's insight:
There are lots of citizen reports on YouTube about chemtrail sightings. It's hard to know what to think about them. The Guardian newspaper in the UK does seem to think geoengineering experiments are happening: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/graphic/2012/jul/17/geoengineering-world-map

|My mom got up earlier and told me she fell out of bed last nite...I've checked her over completely...no bumps or bruises (thank God), just a cracked nail. She said she found herself falling and caught herself...that is how she cracked the nail. I didn't hear a thing. We keep her door closed because she doesn't want the dogs wandering in there at night...my bedroom is just down the hall from hers and I keep my door open. She was able to get back into bed and slept the nite, but of course, it has shaken me...what could have happened. I'm going out now to buy bed rails and a baby monitor. She doesn't like the idea of the rails - says she won't be able to get out of bed (she never does...sleeps straight through 12 - 15 hours), but she did like the idea of the monitor. Just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions to keep her safe at nite? I can't believe how much this has upset me...I keep telling myself to breathe....
Follow-Up Postings:
|Mimi, that was also one of my biggest fears: Mom falling and us not hearing her! I had a large school-bell beside her bed that, if she needed me, she could ring or shove onto the floor: there's no way to ignore that sound!
We also tried an intercom, but she never did get the knack of buzzing us even when she was lucid, so a baby monitor is the way to go.
The one thing I'm concerned about are the bed rails. Statistically, our elderly are more severly injured by trying to climb over bed rails when they need to get out of bed than just slipping onto the floor from bed. That's why they're not used in many nursing homes. There are rails that attach to the bed and are only a foot or more wide to give them something to grasp onto when getting into and out of bed, and that may help...Does your Mom have wall-to-wall carpeting in her room? If not, maybe a very large, stable one could be used to cushion a slip out of bed?
Also, do you know why she fell? Was she trying to get out, or did she just turn over and fall? Perhaps pillows, or a large body-pillow tucked under her blankets along the edge could help re-direct her turning over? She may not be getting up in the middle of the night yet, but there will come a time, and rails scare me....
Anyway...I'm glad to hear she only broke a nail! Good grief.
Good luck, I've been there, and I know how frightening it all can be! Thank heavens she's loving her new home and is vitually THRIVING in it! She's so happy and always has something new to tell us about! What a miracle! But what a decision to have had to make!
|Mimi, I think the baby monitor is a good idea, my uncle had one in his room when he was living with my sister...but he had the TV up so loud you couldn't hear anything anyway. Bed rails wouldn't work for him since he gets up several times a night. His door is always open and mine partially open, and I am also a light sleeper. He has fallen out of bed too. These things happen, and I know it is upsetting...my opinion is to try the monitor, but the bed rails might be a problem if your Mom ever needs to get up at night.
|Linda is correct...really try to avoid the rail. The person falls from the height of the top of the rail, rather than the mattress. Intercom is a good idea, put the bed down as low as possible, or even box springs and mattress sitting directly on the carpet. Maybe a thick carpet beside the bed, BUT tacked down for no trip or slip. This is a tricky problem, but rails not the answer. The "Bed Handle" IS very helpful to one trying to stand without falling...helps with balance. Good luck. Glad she was not injured. Derry

|Hi Mimi! your Mom is so, so lucky she ony broke a nail! my hubby Al is a double above knee amputee, and i remember him falling out of his wheelchair! (this was before we got anti-tippers, something else for amputees, kindof like weights, sorry, i can't remember the name, and a special belt so he wouldn't slip out), the guy who sold us the wheelchair was a mega -loser he didn't even know to sell us these other important things, he just wanted his money, infact, after they sell you a wheelchair, they are suppossed to send someone over to make adjustments, never heard from them again after they got their insurance check! anyways, al has had this fear of falling out of the bed, he had a bedrail that is only about 16 inches or so wide and the bars that hold it in place go between the 2 mattresses, i think i got it out of sears catalogue for about 150.00 cdn dollars. i am a firm believe of the baby monitar, i can take the one outside with me, i can hear him breathing and it's nice to just have. but one word of advice is if your neighbour has one, and you keep your monitor only one you can pick up what is going on in their home, and visa versa! - i thought be were boring, but the young couple who has a year old - 6 houses down the street is even more boring! i also have a nite light on, but i think everyone has that, also i have a pay as you go cell phone, for those days i have to go to the grocery store or drive the kids somewhere. perhaps you could go to the red cross or someplace like that and rent some railings or whatever before you drop alot of money. debbie
|Hi mimi... Thank God your mother didn't get hurt. Falling is always a concern with the elderly. I used two baby monitors with my mother (upstairs and down). There were half rails on her hospital bed. The bottom half can be kept lowered all the time. The one near her head could remain up and would be handy for your mother to grab for support. My mother's insurance provided the bed and rails. ~breezy
|Thanks SO much everyone for your suggestions. I did not get the rails, but did order the 12" wide bed handle...it has a board that slips between the mattress and box spring so it won't pull out if leaned against. She can use it to help her get out of bed and I'm hoping that it will stop her from rolling out of bed. We will position it from under her armpit to her abs...if she rolls over and up against it, I hope it will wake her before she falls out of bed. I also picked up a baby monitor and have set that up...guess we'll see how interesting my nights will be...I have the monitor right by my side of the bed. My husband snores REALLY loud and so does my mom...so I will now get it in stereo!!! Thank goodness there is a volume control on it -- too bad there isn't one on my DH !!! Guess you have to have a sense of humor, huh?
Linda, I'm so glad that things are working out so well for your mom...I know my day will come when I'll need to make "that decision" and it's so good to know that there are good LTC facilities. How wonderful for you to have the peace of mind knowing she is in good hands...again, thanks to all

They block and I blog!
It is undeniable that my country, Myanmar is very well-know for its lack of freedom of media. Absolutely, although we are the part of our mother land, anyone of us cannot have any opportunity of accessing what is happening across the country and speaking our voices. The present military regime might say they do not control news and press and they have accountability and transparency to the country. Obviously, however, media industry is monopolized as state-owned and they publicize is all propaganda. How can our people find solutions to reach a positively changed situation? Fortunately, international community has a strong interest on Myanmar which is under military dictatorship over twenty years. When I knew about Web 2.0, as a citizen from such a country and as a youth social and development worker, I cannot find a word to express my excitement. I can not wait to shout on behalf of our people, our women and our children. Web 2.0 creates a space for me to express to the world what we are suffering and what we would like to have such as democratization and fundamental human rights. Because of those, I am very much excited by web 2.0 and very proud of being a part of promising grassroots woman leaders around the globe.
In our tradition, we have a saying that "Not knowing is more dangerous than not having". Hence, it is very important to make people know, be informed, to educate and to have awareness what is occurring in our society and what information is true. Personally, as I strongly believe that sharing makes difference, I would be utterly convinced that web 2.0 brings to the global woman's empowerment movement listening and talking each other in such a wonderful network. Unity as well as diversity is strength. Here, in the network, we have a common vision, missions, dreams, hopes and goals as well as we have a variety of both same and different challenges, burdens and problems in different local context. Hence, why can we not do the betterment of our future together sharing and learning each other?
When I was studying my Citizenship Education Course which was provided by British Council here, in Myanmar, last year, I started to know the word "citizen journalism". Before that time, I had never imagined that I can become an active media worker who can serve his or her country to be informed citizens. After I have achieved the fully understanding of citizen journalism, I initiated my very first attempts writing what my organization and I am contributing in the community, what Myanmar youths are doing in their society, some current and crucial national and international issues and my perspective in Oxfam International Youth Partnerships network, in my own blog, in Facebook and in some other national and international blog spots. I received lots of comments and suggestions and we could tend to have a fruitful discussion later on. That really encourages me not to stop fighting against inequality and discrimination.
Good Going

text: Pride and Passion Doug Hennes December 7, 2011 1 Comment When Glenn Caruso walked off Palmer Field last Saturday after his team defeated St. John Fisher 45-10, he paused at a concrete and stone pedestal and tapped a plaque with the word "Pride" below the St. Thomas football logo. A few feet away on the other side of the walkway stood a second pedestal with a plaque and the word "Passion." Moments later, when Caruso stepped into a raucous locker room full of singing and chanting and dancing players, the first thing he did was tap another "Pride" plaque. Those plaques – no, those words – are indeed Caruso's touchstone, which the dictionary defines as "a criterion or standard by which judgment is made." I like that definition because it speaks clearly to not only a coach's pride in his team and his passion for the game but also the principles that guide him and, by extension, his players. As Caruso prepares his team for a NCAA Division III semifinal game against two-time defending national champion UW-Whitewater on Saturday, it is worthwhile to reflect on what his pride, his passion and his principles have wrought in just four years. An element of pride certainly was present in 2007, when the Tommies went 2-8, because even struggling teams play hard and want to represent their school well. But their passion for the game clearly was waning, and fans left games disappointed with both the results and the direction the program was heading. Caruso arrived in January 2008 full of energy and enthusiasm, and the more fans heard him describe his aspirations, the more his passion rubbed off on them. They began to think that maybe, just maybe, he could turn the program around, although he kept reminding us that he alone couldn't do the job – that we had to help him. He believed strongly in the "it takes a village" concept. One by one, we jumped aboard the Caruso Express, and it began to pick up steam: a 7-3 record in 2008, with all three losses in the final seconds; an 11-2 record in 2009, with two NCAA Division III playoff wins and a trip to the quarterfinals; and a 12-1 record last year, with two more playoff wins and another trip to the quarterfinals. Many of us wondered what this year would bring, especially with Caruso's first class of recruits reaching their senior year. Expectations were high, but as excited as the coach can get – and as excited as he can make you feel – he always insisted on not looking ahead but in taking everything one game at a time. "Enjoy the journey" became a constant reminder. Enjoy it we have. The Tommies are 13-0 and headed for what arguably is the biggest football game in school history. They have thrilled us all year long with big victories (who can forget 63-7 over St. John's?) that have been chock full of great open field runs, thrilling end zone catches, powerful sacks and smash-mouth blocks that opened holes that you or I could have run through for a first down. Most of all, they have restored Pride and Passion. Next time you walk by one of those plaques, tap it! RelatedA Loss That HurtsA Football Coach and the Importance of PassionGlenn Caruso: National Coach of the Year?New Student Center Will Be More Than Just a Building One Response Mark Hagen, Chaska December 7, 2011 Excellent piece on a man and a team on a mission. My son was unfortunate to be a freshman during that last dismal season before Coach Caruso arrived. He thought about dropping from the program but heard the story and decided to stick it out one more year. He is fortunate that he enjoyed three outstanding years with Coach Caruso at the helm. While not a starter, 2 deep or 3 deep, he had a role and the coach pushed him and appreciated him just as much as any other player. The valuable lessons learned in those three years put a whole new meaning to the words "Pride" and "Passion." That energy carries over to the stands as well. I wouldn't miss a Saturday game now as you can always be assured of a 110 percent effort by players and coaches alike. Good luck Saturday and remember to enjoy the journey!
