Too bad they're overpriced.It's cheaper to order it from apple.
Posted by yuljo on July 2, 2003 at 1:29 PM (CDT)
Future Shop is a rip off, they sell the 10, 15, and 30 gig for $459, $629, and $799 respectively when the retail price at apple and any apple dealer is $459, $599, and $749 CAD…...
BUT you can give them a taste of their own medicine because they offer the lowest price guarantee…. Just price match and you can get it 110% of the difference back, and their website offers free shipping…. So it could be better than buying it at the other stores…..
Though I'm waiting for a better price than retail…..

Incidentally note that Best Buy is owned by Future Shop (not many people know this since Best Buy uses both the Best Buy and Future Shop brands in Canada, with some stores situated almost across from each other, to create the illusion of competition)

No, regardless of currency, Futureshop is usually always overpriced..
As I said, "they sell the 10, 15, and 30 gig for $459, $629, and $799 CAD respectively when the retail price at apple and any apple dealer is $459, $599, and $749 CAD…..."
Basically, everyone sells the 15 and 30 gig for $599 and $749 while Futureshop attempts to sell them for $629 and $799…

Blog: Bangladesh fire brings safety back into spotlight
Petah Marian | 3 December 2012
A fire in a Bangladeshi factory last week, which killed at least 111, has brought factory safety back into the spotlight. The fire, which raged through Tazreen Fashion in Ashulia, on the outskirts of Bangladesh's capital Dhaka, was producing garments for Wal-Mart, C&A, Li & Fung, and Piazza Italia.
The tragedy was not an isolated incident, with more than 350 perishing through ten other fires in Bangladesh since 2005, and another 300 losing their lives in factory fires in Pakistan in September this year.
The latest fire has prompted calls from trade unions and labour rights groups for immediate action from international brands who source from Bangladesh.
The fire was not the only example of human rights abuses last week, with a tribunal taking place in India to discuss poverty, pay, harassment and abuse in factories that make clothes for Western brands and retailers.
Around 250 garment workers from Bangalore, Gurgaon and Tirupur attended, as did international brands including H&M and Adidas, who were joined by government representatives.
Workers spoke out about sexual harassment, verbal abuse, low wages, and the endemic problems around overtime and the right to join a union.
Meanwhile, Zara owner Inditex joined an industry-wide initiative that will see it cut hazardous chemicals from its clothing by 2020. The decision follows a report by Greenpeace that accused the brand of selling clothing that contain the dangerous chemicals. The move will see the fast fashion operator become increasingly transparent by publishing chemical use and discharge information from many of the factories it uses.
The retail side is also facing challenges, meanwhile, with a strong performance over Thanksgiving and Black Friday week sales offering little match for the disruption caused by Hurricane Sandy.
Terry Lundgren, the chairman, president & CEO of Macy's - which recorded a 0.7% decline in same-store sales decline over the month - summed up the situation for many retailers: "Despite the largest-volume Thanksgiving weekend in our company's history, we were not able to overcome the weak start to the month, which included the disruption of Hurricane Sandy. Yet," he noted, "we remain on track to deliver a very strong sales performance in the fourth quarter, consistent with our guidance."
PVH, however, recorded a positive third quarter, as sales of its Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brands compensated for a decline in demand for its heritage brands. In a call with analysts, chairman & CEO Emanuel Chirico backed Warnaco's plans to turnaround the Calvin Klein jeans and underwear businesses, a company it is set to take over next year in a deal worth US$2.9bn.
"I think Warnaco has been very transparent about the challenges in [the jeans] business, particularly in Europe, and some of the difficulties that they have worked through in North America," he said. "And I think a number of the initiatives that they have put in place really will start to benefit next year, particularly in the second half of the year."
Finally, just-style published a research report last week that suggested emerging markets are set to drive growth of the performance outdoor apparel sector - a segment that is set to grow by US$3.5bn over the next six years. While North America, Europe and Asia are the current top three performance outdoor apparel markets, the rapid economic growth and expanding middle classes in China, South Korea and Hong Kong are set to help the market develop further.
Talks aimed at setting a minimum wage for workers in Burma/Myanmar are now underway, after the original deadline of December was missed following calls for further research. ...

US 4393181 A Abstract The present invention is directed to epoxy curing agents prepared by reacting a polyhydric phenol with a hexa-alkyl ether of hexamethylol melamine in an amount to provide at least two phenolic hydroxyl groups to one methoxy group. The invention is further directed to curable epoxy compositions.
Claims(9) 1. An epoxy resin curing agent prepared by reacting a polyhydric phenol with an amino-triazine having the general formula ##STR5## wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are the same or different alkyl radicals of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, said polyhydric phenol and amino-triazine being reacted in an amount to provide at least two phenolic hydroxyl groups to one alkoxy group.
2. The curing agent of claim 1 wherein the polyhydric phenol is 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane.
3. The curing agent of claim 1 wherein the amino-triazine is hexamethoxy-methyl melamine.
4. The curing agent of claim 1 wherein the components are reacted at a temperature of from about 120� C. to about 200� C. until the evolution of methanol essentially ceases.
5. A heat curable composition, especially suitable for powder coating applications, comprising:
(a) at least one normally solid epoxy resin containing at least one vicinal epoxy group, (b) a curable amount of a curing agent prepared as in claim 1, and (c) an alkaline epoxy curing agent accelerator. 6. The composition of claim 5 wherein the epoxy resin is a glycidyl polyether of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane.
7. The composition of claim 5 wherein the epoxy resin is a glycidyl novolac resin.
8. The composition of claim 5 wherein the epoxy curing agent accelerator is an imidazole compound.
9. The composition of claim 8 wherein the imidazole compound is 2-methylimidazole.
Description This invention is directed to polyfunctional phenolic adducts of polyhydric phenols and amino-triazines which are useful as epoxy curing agents, especially solid epoxy resins in powder coating applications. U.S. Pat. No. 4,217,377 describes a crosslinking agent for powder coatings which is a low molecular weight adduct of a monohydroxy, single ring aromatic carbon compound and a hexakis (alkoxymethyl) amino-triazine. The products described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,217,377 retain two of the six theoritical methoxy group of the triazine during the preparation, as the methoxy groups are the crosslinking groups of the adduct. A novel polyhydric, polynuclear phenol-melamine adduct has now been found which is an effective crosslinking agent for epoxy resins and which contain no methoxy groups. As noted, the adducts of U.S. Pat. No. 4,217,377 contain unreacted methoxy groups. The present adducts, on the other hand, are prepared by reacting the phenol with the triazine so that the ratio of phenolic OH groups to methylol groups is at least 2:1, all methylol groups are thus reacted, to produce a phenolic-terminated oligomer which will cure via etherification with the epoxy groups of the epoxy resin. Thus, the present novel adducts provide melamine resin type properties in the cured film without evolving methanol thereby essentially preventing void formation due to emission of volatiles during cure. This is particularly important in rapid curing, thick (�10-20 mil) castings where void formation can be a problem. This invention is directed to the reaction products (adducts) of amino-triazines and polyhydric phenols and to a method for preparing them. The resulting adducts are solid light-colored, friable products which are especially suitable for use as crosslinking agents for epoxy resins in powder coatings. The resulting coatings are characterized by excellent film properties and rapid cure rates. More particularly, this invention is directed to the reaction products of hexamethoxymethylmelamine and 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, BPA, which are especially suitable as curing agents for epoxy resins when used with imidazole compound accelerators. These curing agents produce compositions which cure rapidly at elevated temperatures to produce coatings which exhibit good flexibility and improved solvent resistance when compared with analogous existing epoxy resin coatings. The present invention also provides a curable epoxy composition. The compositions of the present invention are simply prepared by heating and reacting a stoichiometric excess of a polyhydric phenol with an amino-triazine at a temperature between about 100� and 250� C., preferably in the absence of any added acidic catalyst and continuing the reaction until the evolution of methanol ceases. Although the reaction can be accelerated by acidic catalysts such as oxalic acid, para-toluenesulfonic acid, and the like, the resulting curing agent adduct is preferably used with alkaline curing catalysts such as the alkyl imidazoles, tris-dimethylaminomethylphenol and the like; therefore the preferred method does not employ an acidic catalyst, but includes an alkaline catalyst. Preferred polyhydric phenols which are useful for preparing the curing agent adducts are the polyhydric phenols containing from 2 to 6 OH groups and up to 30 carbon atoms. Coming under special consideration are the phenols of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is a polyvalent element or radical and R is a member of the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen and hydrocarbon radicals. The preferred elements or radicals represented by X are oxygen, sulfur, --SO--,--SO2 --, bivalent hydrocarbon radicals containing up to 10 carbon atoms, and oxygen, sulfur and nitrogen-containing hydrocarbon radicals, such as ##STR2## radical wherein R is a bivalent hydrocarbon radical. A very preferred dihydric phenol is 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, BPA. Suitable amino-triazines have the general formula; ##STR3## wherein the R substituents, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 are either the same or different and are alkyl radicals of 1 to 4 carbon atoms. The hexa-alkyl ethers of hexamethylol melamine, i.e. the hexakis (alkoxymethyl) amino-triazine may be characterized by the above-identified formula and includes specific compounds such as hexakis (methoxymethyl) amino-triazine, hexakis (ethoxymethyl) amino-triazine, hexakis (propoxymethyl) amino-triazine, hexakis (isopropoxymethyl) amino-triazine, hexakis (butoxymethyl) amino-triazine, hexakis (1-butoxymethyl) amino-triazine, hexakis (isobutoxymethyl) amino-triazine and combinations thereof in any proportion. The polyhydric phenol is reacted with the hexa-alkyl ethers of hexwmethylol melamine in an amount to provide at least two phenolic hydroxyl groups to one alkoxy group. Preferably, the ratio of phenolic hydroxyl groups to alkoxy groups is about 3:1. The reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature between about 120� C. to about 200� C. (most preferred temperature, about 175� C.) until the evolution of methanol ceases, i.e., for from about 1.5 hours to about 3 hours. The resulting adduct is a phenolic-terminated oligomer which is an effective curing agent for epoxy resins, particularly in powder coating formulations containing alkaline epoxy curing accelerators. Suitable polyepoxides which may be cured with these adducts include those compounds possessing more than one vic-epoxy group per molecule, i.e., more than one ##STR4## group per molecule. These polyepoxides are saturated or unsaturated aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic or hetercyclic, and are substituted, if desired, with non-interfering substituents, such as halogen atoms, hydroxy groups, ether radicals, and the like. Polyepoxides employed are monomeric or polymeric. Preferred liquid polyepoxides include the so-called liquid glycidyl polyethers of polyhydric phenols and polyhydric alcohol. As used herein the terms "epoxide equivalent weight" and "weight per epoxide" (WPE) refer to the average molecular weight of the polyepoxide molecule divided by the average number or oxirane groups present in the molecule. Various examples of polyepoxides that may be used in this invention are given in U.S. Pat. No. 3,477,990 (e.g., column 2, line 39 to column 4, line 75) and it is to be understood that so much of the disclosure of that patent relative to examples of polyepoxides is incorporated by reference into this specification. Preferred polyepoxides are the glycidyl polyethers of polyhydric phenols and polyhydric alcohols, especially the glycidyl polyethers of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane having an average molecular weight between about 300 and 3,000 and an epoxide equivalent weight (WPE) between about 140 and 2,000. Especially preferred are the diglycidyl polyethers of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane having a WPE between about 140 and 925 and an average molecular weight of from about 300 to about 1800. Other suitable epoxy compounds include those compounds derived from polyhydric phenols and having at least one vicinal epoxy group wherein the carbon-to-carbon bonds within the six-membered ring are saturated. Such epoxy resins may be obtained by at least two well-known techniques, i.e., by the hydrogenation of glycidyl polyethers of polyhydric phenols or (2) by the reaction of hydrogenated polyhydric phenols with epichlorohydrin in the presence of a suitable catalyst such as Lewis acids, i.e., boron trihalides and complexes thereof, and subsequent dehydrochlorination in an alkaline medium. The method of preparation forms no part of the present invention and the resulting saturated epoxy resins derived by either method are suitable in the present compositions. Briefly, the first method comprises the hydrogenation of glycidyl polyethers of polyhydric phenols with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst consisting of rhodium and/or ruthenium supported on an inert carrier at a temperature below about 50� C. This method is thoroughly disclosed and described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,336,241, issued Aug. 15, 1967. The hydrogenated epoxy compounds prepared by the process disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,336,241, are suitable for use in the present compositions. Accordingly, the relevant disclosure of U.S. Pat. No. 3,336,241 is incorporated herein by reference. The second method comprises the condensation of a hydrogenated polyphenol with an epihalohydrin, such as epichlorohydrin, in the presence of a suitable catalyst such as BF3, followed by dehydrohalogenation in the presence of caustic. When the phenol is hydrogenated Bisphenol A, the resulting saturated epoxy compound is sometimes referred to as "diepoxidized hydrogenated Bisphenol A", or more properly as the diglycidyl ether of 2,2-bis(4-cyclohexanol)propane. In any event, the term "saturated epoxy resin", as used herein shall be deemed to mean the glycidyl ethers of polyhydric phenols wherein the aromatic ring structure of the phenols have been or are saturated. Preferred saturated epoxy resins are the hydrogenated resins prepared by the process described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,336,241. More preferred are the hydrogenated glycidyl ethers of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, sometimes called the diglycidyl ethers of 2,2-bis(4-cyclohexanol)propane. Other examples include the glycidyl novolac resins, i.e., the glycidyl phenol-aldehyde condensates, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,658,885. The amount of adduct used for curing the epoxy resin will be a curing amount. Generally, the amount employed will be near a stoichiometric amount although up to a 100% excess of either the epoxy resin or the adduct may be employed. In powder coating applications, a curing agent accelerator is preferably employed. Suitable curing agent accelerators include the alkaline compounds such as the amines, amides, polyaminoamides, etc. Very suitable curing agent accelerators include the imidazoles and benzimidazoles as well as their salts and adducts. Suitable such imidazole compounds including the imidazole-epoxy adducts, salts, etc, are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,756,984; 3,329,652; 3,438,937; 3,356,645; 3,394,105; and 3,418,333. Accordingly, the disclosure relevant to the preparation of these imidazoles and benzimidazoles as well as their adducts, salts, etc. is hereby incorporated herein. Other curing agent accelerators include the stannous salts of monocarboxylic acids having at least 2 carbon atoms, and more preferably from about 6 to 12 carbon atoms. Examples of operable stannous salts include, among others, stannous caproate, stannous octoate, stannous laurate, stannous palmitate, stannous stearate, stannous oleate and stannous naphthenate. Stannous octoate is particularly preferred. Other suitable curing accelerators include the alkali metal salts such as lithium benzoate, lithium octoate, lithium naphthenate, lithium stearate, lithium neodecanoate, and the like. Still other suitable but not preferred curing accelerators (catalysts) include the hydroxides of the alkaline earth and alkali metals such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, etc. The amount of accelerator may vary within wide limits from about 0.01 to about 10 parts per hundred by weight of polyepoxide (phr), and preferably from about 0.05 to 5.0 phr. Other materials may, of course, be blended or mixed to the adduct-curing agent-epoxy compositions, including plasticizers, stabilizers, extenders, resins, tars, pigments, reinforcing agents, thixotropic agents, flow control agents, antioxidants, and the like. The present adducts can be utilized in epoxy resin compositions for use in many applications, such as for coatings and impregnating compositions in the preparation of adhesives for metals, wood, cement and the like, and in preparation of reinforced composite products, such as laminated products, filament windings, sheet molding compounds (SMC), electrical laminates, molding powders, fluidized bed powders, potting compounds, etc. A very suitable application is in the preparation of reinforced products and laminates wherein the compositions are applied to fibrous products such as glass fibers or sheets and the material formed into the desired object and cured. The following examples are given to illustrate the preparation of the instant heat-curable thermosetting compositions. It is understood that the examples are embodiments only and are given for the purpose of illustration and the invention is not to be regarded as limited to any specific components and/or specific conditions recited therein. Unless otherwise indicated, parts and percentages in the examples, are parts and percentages by weight. Polyepoxide A is a glycidyl polyether of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane having a WPE of 190-198). Polyepoxide B is a polyglycidyl ether of BPA having a WPE of 850-950 and containing 0.5% by weight of flow control agent (Modiflow II). HMMM is hexamethoxymethyl-melamine (CYMEL� Resin 303). BPA is 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane. One mole of HMMM (390 grams) and nine moles (2052 grams) of BPA were heated to 280� F. at which temperature methanol was evolved. The temperature was raised to 350� F. over a 90 minute period and held a 350� F. until evolution of methanol was essentially nil (about 11/2 hours). The product was then poured out to yield a light colored friable solid with a phenolic OH content of 0.66 eq/100 grams and a viscosity of 7.3 poises (40% N.V. in MEK at 25� C.). The product of Example I was prepared and just before completion 128 grams of 2-methylimidazole were added and physically stirred in for 20 minutes before pouring out. A charge of 350 grams HMMM and 3150 grams BPA (corresponding to a 1 to 9 weight ratio, or a 1/15.4 molar ratio) were heated to 140� (285� F.) at which point initial evolution of methanol was noted. The temperature was then raised to 177� C. (350� F.) over a 21/2 hour period, and held at 177� C. (350� F.) until the methanol evolution was essentially nil. The BPA/HMMM adduct was poured out into a tray to cool. The product was a light colored friable solid with the following constants. ______________________________________Phenolic OH content: 0.75 eq/100 grms.Viscosity (ASTM D217076)40% N.V. in MEK 4.1 centipoise______________________________________ A catalyzed version of Example III was prepared by stirring 184 grams of 2-methylimidazole into the adduct for 20 minutes before pouring out. In this example a solid epoxy resin with increased functionally was prepared by charging 2600 grams of polyepoxide A, 798 grams of BPA, m.p. of 156-157 and 106 grams of a phenolic novolac resin with a molecular weight (Mn) of 485 and a hydroxyl number in the 570-600 range. The batch temperature was raised to 115� C. (220� F.) and 1.1 grams of a 50% aqueous solution of tetramethyl ammonium chloride was added. The temperature was further raised to 160� C. (320� F.) and allowed to exotherm to 168� C. (335� F.). The batch was held at 168� C. (335� F.) for 90 minutes and poured out to cool. The product was a solid friable resin with a WPE of 670, and a viscosity of 16 cps as a 40% Non volatile solution in MEK. The compositions of Examples I, II, III, and V were formulated (dry blended) in a Welex mixer, extruded in a BUS PR-46 laboratory size extruder @ 60� C. barrel temperature and each was ground into a powder suitable for fluidized bed application. It will be appreciated that the compositions of Examples I and III are the curing agent adducts of BPA and HMMM, whereas the compositions of Examples II and IV are the adducts of Examples I and III respectively wherein a catalytic amount of 2-methyl imidazole was physically blended therein. The resulting formulations are tabulated in Table I. The powders shown in Table I were applied via fluidized bed to cold rolled steel panels at 450� F. and postcured, one set of panels was postcured for 90 seconds before quenching, a second set for 120 seconds before quenching; the gel times, physical properties and cathodic disbonding results are shown in Table II. The data in Table II shows that the BPA/HMMM cured systems are all more solvent resistant than the commercial control, while Examples VI and VII are superior in flexibility. In resistance to cathodic disbonding the BPA/HMMM cured systems are, on balance, equal to the control.

I'm afraid that I have to apologise for misleading readers last week. I wrote about facing the problem of having a bear regularly visit our Canadian lake cottage. After much consternation in the family with children being told to only swim in pairs and my taking to sunbathing with my electric mosquito "executioner" by my side, there have been developments.
My old friend Harry, a man known throughout north Cheltenham for his bravery in matters bear-related, decided to become pro-active. Stripping to the waist and carrying only a cigarette for protection, he headed into the thick undergrowth that surrounds the property to investigate. The womenfolk wailed and begged him to stay home but he was a man on a mission, our very own Bear Grylls, only, unlike Bear, he kept his shorts on.
We heard little from Harry for more than half an hour and tension was mounting until he re-emerged from the scrub uneaten. He had a curious smile on his face and gathered us all around the fire-pit to tell us of his adventures in the Canadian tundra.
He told us that it had been "tough", he had been eaten alive by black flies, and had to clamber up a large rock to avoid the attentions of an amorous raccoon. Finally, he had stumbled into a Deliverance-type compound not too far from our cottage. Making his way past the rusting pick-up trucks and other detritus that littered the yard, he knocked on the door. There was silence for a while before a gap-toothed local opened the door suspiciously. After introducing himself, Harry informed the man that he was living next door and that a bear was harassing us. Had the man seen the bear and did he have any tips on how to deal with the matter? There was, Harry said, a confused moment of silence as the man stared at Harry blankly.
Then he spoke: "Is you French? Cos if youse French then I'm not comfortable with you being on my land." The man started shouting: "Honey we've got a Frenchman here … get Biff …."
Before Harry could explain that he wasn't French (although he has a Belgian wife so the local's antennae were strong) a large woman appeared behind the man and started shouting at him to get off their land. It was then that Harry noticed the bear standing by the woman and eyeing up one of his thighs for dinner.
"The... bear …" said Harry, backing away slowly and pointing at it, lest the agitated locals had not spotted it. The man looked at the woman, who looked at the man before they both looked down at the bear. They both started laughing. "This? This aint a bear, you French moron … this is Billy, he's a dog … don't you have those in France?"
Harry looked more closely at the bear and admitted to us that, although closely resembling a small bear, it did have dog-like qualities. He retreated slowly, making his excuses and trying not to look like a retreating Frenchman. The security level at the cottage has now been appropriately lowered.

10. A method for reducing size of skin pores comprising topically applying to an external surface of a face composition comprising:
(i) from about 1 to about 60% denatured ethyl alcohol by weight of the composition and containing from about 0.3 to about 3% menthol by weight of the alcohol; (ii) from about 0.5 to about 80% humectant by weight of the composition; (iii) from about 0.00001 to about 3% preservative by weight of the composition; and (iv) from about 10% to about 85% water by weight of the composition. Description 1. Field of the Invention The invention relates to hydroalcoholic cosmetic compositions and their use in shrinking facial pores. 2. The Related Art Women have many concerns with their facial complexion. Causes for concern are fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, elasticity and pore problems. Some remedies such as alpha hydroxy acids and retinol can address aging and sun damage imperfections. Application of these actives can smooth fine lines and wrinkles and diminish hyperpigmentation spots. Shrinkage of pores has received less attention. As a result, the only well-known remedy is covering up the imperfection under a coating of facial foundation or other opaque skin product. The literature has disclosed hydroalcoholic solutions formulated to remove pimples and red spots. U.S. Pat. No. 5,482,710 (Slavtcheff et al.) formulates hydroalcoholic solutions that combine an alpha hydroxy carboxylic acid, bisabolol and glycyrrhizinate salts. Despite many earlier attempts, there have been no significant solutions to the problem of shrinking skin pore sizes. A hydroalcoholic cosmetic composition is provided which includes:
Now it has been found that hydroalcoholic cosmetic compositions utilizing ethyl alcohol denatured with menthol promotes shrinkage of skin pores when applied to the skin. Ordinarily the ethyl alcohol will be SDA 38B grade which has been denatured with menthol or a menthol containing mixture such as peppermint oil. Amounts of the denatured ethyl alcohol may range from about 1 to about 60%, preferably from about 10 to about 40%, optimally from about 12 to about 20% by weight of the composition. Denaturizing amounts of menthol in the ethyl alcohol will range from about 0.3 to about 3%, preferably from about 1 to about 2.5%, and optimally from about 1.3 to about 2% by weight of the denatured ethyl alcohol. Water will be present in compositions of this invention. Amounts of water may range from about 5 to about 95%, preferably from about 20 to about 85%, more preferably from about 30 to about 75%, and optimally from about 40% to about 70% by weight of the composition. Humectants are another element of the present invention. This category is represented by polyhydric alcohol-type materials. Illustrative are glycerol (also known as glycerin), propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, sorbitol, hydroxypropyl sorbitol, hexylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, 1,2,6-hexane triol, ethoxylated glycerol, propoxylated glycerol, maltitol, isoprene glycol and mixtures thereof. Preservatives are components of the present invention. Particularly preferred preservatives are phenoxyethanol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, imidazolidinyl urea, dimethyloldimethylhydantoin, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salts (EDTA), sodium dehydroacetate, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, iodopropynbutylcarbamate and benzyl alcohol. The preservatives should be selected having regard for the use of the composition and possible incompatibilities between the preservatives and other ingredients. Preservatives are preferably employed in amounts ranging from about 0.00001 to about 3%, preferably from about 0.01% to about 2% by weight of the composition. Cosmetic compositions of this invention may be cleansers, toners, creams, gels, serums, masks and lotions. The term �cosmetic� means any composition which provides a benefit to the skin, and excludes compositions such as toothpaste and mouthwash used in the oral cavity. Most particularly, the hydroalcoholic compositions of this invention are in toner format. In these compositions it is desirable to have a solubilizer. Illustrative solubilizers are polypropylene glycol copolymers with C8-C24 fatty acids or alcohols. A particular example is PPG-2 Isoceteth-20 Acetate. Amounts of the solubilizer may range from about 0.1 to about 20%, preferably from about 0.5 to about 1% by weight of the composition. When in toner form, the composition advantageously is a transparent or translucent gel which maintains suspended bubbles through use of the solubilizer. The bubbles have an average diameter ranging from about 0.001 to about 2 mm and range in amount from about 1 to about 1,000 per cc3. Viscosity of the gel ranges from about 2,000 to about 15,000, preferably from about 5 to about 8,000 cp as measured on a Brookfield RVF Viscometer at 10 rpm using Spindle 5 at 25� C. The bubbles of gas (e.g. air, nitrogen or carbon dioxide) in the gel are stable at 25� C. for at least 7 days. Compositions of this invention may include a variety of other functional ingredients. These include emollients, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, thickeners and combinations thereof. Emollient materials may be in the form of silicone oils, natural or synthetic esters and hydrocarbons. Amounts of the emollients may range anywhere from about 0.1 to about 60%, preferably from about 1 and about 30% by weight of the composition. Silicone oils may be divided into the volatile and nonvolatile variety. The term �volatile� as used herein refers to those materials which have a measurable vapor pressure at ambient temperature. Volatile silicone oils are preferably chosen from cyclic (cyclomethicone) or linear polydimethylsiloxanes containing from 3 to 9, preferably from 4 to 5, silicon atoms. Nonvolatile silicone oils useful as an emollient material include polyalkyl siloxanes, polyalkylaryl siloxanes and polyether siloxane copolymers. The essentially nonvolatile polyalkyl siloxanes useful herein include, for example, polydimethyl siloxanes with viscosities of from about 5�106 to 0.1 m2/s at 25� C. Among the preferred nonvolatile emollients useful in the present compositions are the polydimethyl siloxanes having viscosities from about 1�10−5 to about 4�10−4 m2/s at 25� C.

A clinical study is herein reported which evaluated the effect of formulas of the present invention on reducing the size of facial pores. The study utilized a half face study design in which subjects had two different products applied to each side of their face by a clinician. A trained grader evaluated 22 female panelists. Visual evaluation for visible pores on the cheeks was conducted by using a grading scale based on a pore ruler. The pore ruler is a set of 10 images starting at 1 (very few visibly large pores) and increasing by whole points to 10 (many visibly large pores). The clinical grading scale is identified in the Table IV below. In addition to cheek pore grading, visual evaluation for visible pores on the nose was also performed using the following grading scale detailed in the Table below.
Panelist portrait close-ups were captured using a Nikon D1 camera and 105 mm-macro lens. Panelist positioning and repositioning was managed with the Canfield Positioning System. Each panelist had product applied to both sides of their face by a clinician. Three cotton rounds were loaded with 1.0 cc of test product. The cotton rounds were used to apply product to three sections of the face. One cotton round was used on half the forehead for 5 seconds, a second cotton round was used on half of the nose and upper cheek for 5 seconds and a third cotton round was used on half of the chin and lower cheek for 5 seconds. This study involved a single application of the test products. Data was entered on an Excel� spreadsheet. Thereupon the mean, standard deviation and Student's t-Test were calculated. The level of significance was set prior to the test at 0.05. Digital images of the panelists' �T Zone� were captured with the camera in a horizontal/landscape orientation. Image size and quality was set to camera maximum of 2000 pixels wide by 1312 pixels high. The images were analyzed for pore size, visibility and contrast using a IDL 6.0 macro. The test products were the formulas described in Example 1, sample 1B with 15% menthol denatured Alcohol and Sample 1E with 30% menthol denatured alcohol. Results are recorded in the Table below.
Both Sample 1E and 1B revealed a significant decrease in cheek pore visibility 30 minutes post treatment. There was no significant differences noted between the two samples. There were no changes in the nose pore size 30 minutes post treatment for either of the samples tested. Table V below reports on Sebumeter data on changes in sebum levels.
Sample 1E exhibited a significant reduction in sebum levels 30 minutes post treatment. This reflected a 21.80% reduction from baseline. Sample 1B also significantly reduced skin surface oil 30 minutes post treatment. There was a 26.11% reduction from baseline for this formula. Referenced by

Wessex Water offers first 'report a leak' app
Wessex Water has launched a free app that allows its customers to make contact from their mobile phone.
People who download the app can check out water saving tips, access contact numbers and help Wessex Water the company reduce leakage. The "report a leak" facility allows the user to notify the location of a leak simply, as it automatically locates the user. Customers can even upload a picture of the leak to help the company find it.
Clive Tugwell, new media manager, said: "We believe the "report a leak" facility will provide customers with a much easier way to notify us if they spot a leak in our extensive water supply network. It will complement the work of our staff who proactively check for leaks on a daily basis."
It added that plans were underway to further develop the app so customers could notify the company of a change of address and pay their bill.
Wessex Water's iPhone app can be downloaded free to any iPhone, iPod or iPod Touch running the latest software from the Apple App store. For more information visit http://www.wessexwater.co.uk/mobile . Wessex said an android version would follow within two months.
Veolia Water said it would soon launch an app with similar capabilities.

During a wide-ranging conversation on government secrecy and the relationship between The New York Times and WikiLeaks, Times executive editor Bill Keller was asked whether he'd be bothered if WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange were charged under the Espionage Act, as Senator Joe Lieberman recently suggested.
"Let me back into that question," he said. "I don't regard Julian Assange as a kindred spirit. If he's a journalist, he's not the kind of journalist that I am."
He said, though, that in some ways WikiLeaks has shifted in the direction of traditional journalism and away from the style of its earlier publications, which were largely just data, unredacted and without comment.
"They have moved to becoming an organization that is leaking out the documents in a more journalistic fashion," he said. "I don't think they've become my kind of news organization, but they have evolved."
Keller spoke at the Nieman Foundation's one-day conference on secrecy and journalism Thursday, where WikiLeaks was a common topic of discussion.
Whatever reservations Keller has about Assange-as-journalist, The New York Times has been at the forefront of getting the organization's materials to the public — as well as helping shape, at times indirectly, WikiLeaks' own editorial policies even as the Times worked to decide which materials it would publish of the hundreds of thousands of available documents.
Keller took on critics of the Times' publication of WikiLeaks' documents, saying their critiques generally fell into three broad categories:
But despite differences between the newspaper and the organization, Keller said that the paper still provided leadership for the international press on how to handle the material and the organization providing it. He said that "in most cases" the international papers, such as Der Spiegel and the Guardian, followed The New York Times' guidance and what materials to release or not to release, occasionally differing on materials of particular interest to a certain country (such as the Merkel cables with the Germany's Der Spiegel). WikiLeaks itself has also followed many of the Times' suggested redactions.
"Wikileaks, having been castigated for the first two rounds of document dumps, basically said that this time around they would take the redactions we gave them," Keller said.
Keller also detailed the process by which The New York Times vetted and processed the vast amounts of information, saying that the Times and other news organizations had now finished publishing all the major stories based on the documents they expected to write.
"We then basically agreed on a schedule where day one would be Pakistan day and day two would be Russia day, something like that," Keller said. "We rolled out on that schedule, and we agreed to give WikiLeaks the documents we intended to publish on each day's stories, with our redactions."
Throughout it all, however, Keller said the Times kept a very clear view of what WikiLeaks was and was not in its reporting. "What I have said from the very beginning of this is WikiLeaks is a source, not a partner. The Guardian was kind of a partner in this, because we swapped data and thoughts back and forth saying, 'Hey, look at this table.' There was none of that back and forth with WikiLeaks."
1510 tweets | Don't try too hard to please Twitter — and other lessons from The New York Times' social media desk The team that runs the Times' Twitter accounts looked back on what they learned — what worked, what didn't — from running @NYTimes in 2014. |
692 | Q&A: Amy O'Leary on eight years of navigating digital culture change at The New York Times "In 2007, as digital people, we were expected to be 100 percent deferent to all traditional processes. We weren't to bother reporters or encourage them to operate differently at all, because what they were doing was the very core of our journalism." |

Since the new Sole Parent Support benefit was introduced in July, 5000 new people have taken up the benefit but there was a net reduction of more than 3000 people overall on the benefit, quarterly figures show.
Figures released today by the Government show on average, sole parents spend 15.8 years on welfare and the total lifetime cost for sole parents is $21 billion, or $234,000 per person.
Data also showed benefits fell to 304,394 in the September quarter.
"A year ago there were almost 321,000 New Zealanders on benefits, that fell by 16,548 since September 2012, and by 5,388 in just the last quarter," Minister for Social Development Paula Bennett said.
But the increasing numbers of single parents spending more than 15 years on the benefit were concerning.
"This is why we've prioritised this group for assistance, particularly teen parents who are most at risk of getting trapped on welfare," Bennett said.
"Teen parents on benefit are required to be in education so they can be better prepared for work, as well as undertaking parenting and budgeting programmes, all of which helps them to become independent."
Figures also showed that since July, more than 10,000 Jobseeker benefits were cancelled due to people finding work. Bennett said on average, about 1500 benefits were cancelled every week due to work placements.
Government welfare reforms were rolled out in July, which included the reduction of the number of benefits from seven to three, compulsory drug-testing for beneficiaries when required by potential employers, increased healthcare obligations for beneficiaries with young children, and an increased focus on getting people into jobs.
Tougher sanctions could also be imposed in the form of having benefits cancelled or cut if a beneficiary failed to comply with requirements.
Correction: An earlier version of this story said over 3000 single parents have left it to take on work, only to be replaced by 5000 taking up the benefit. In fact there has been a net reduction of 3000 parents on the benefit - meaning fewer people are on it, not more.

Press Release:
Iconic Shaper/Designer Rusty Preisendorfer to "Talk Story" at
Huntington Surf and Sport on Saturday
Rusty Preisendorfer has been mowing foam now in his sixth decade.
Like many of the world's greatest shaper/designers, Rusty began building himself boards in the backyard before landing a job shaping for legendary San Diego surfboard brand Gordon & Smith in the early Seventies.
This lead him to team up with Canyon Surfboards and John Durward in the latter part of the Seventies where he began shaping boards for some of the "Bustin' Down the Door" generation including the former ASP World Champions Shaun Tomson and Peter "PT" Townend.
In the early Eighties he befriended a young rising Australian Mark "Occhy" Occhilupo who was competing in San Diego in front of the Canyon Surfboards Surf Shop in Ocean Beach, which lead to their relationship when Rusty left Canyon to start Rusty Surfboards in 1985.
Their collaboration developed a new style of surfboard that helped "Occhy" win back-to-back OP Pro's in '85 and '86 and by the end of the Eighties it seemed like everybody was now riding a Rusty.
Through the next few decades, Rusty made boards on and off for many the world's best surfers and in 2008 was named 'Shaper of the Year" by Surfing Magazine.
He continues to work at the highest level shaping and designing for Josh Kerr current ASP/WCT "Top Ten" in the world at number eight, who also just won the "Video Performance of the Year" at the recent Surfer Poll Awards on the North Shore from the "Kerrazy Kronicles".
He's also putting foam under the feet of Nate Yeomans. Damian Fahrenfort, Kalani Chapman, Jamie O'Brien and a multitude of today's young rippers.
This weekend at Huntington Surf & Sport's "Boardroom" from 10a.m. until noon, come "Talk Story" with him all about the journey and his continued love for mowing foam.

One of the best places to spot our snowdrops is by the yew trees on the croquet lawn.
Winter walks
Stroll through the frosty gardens and catch the last of the autumn colour. Spot squirrels and robins foraging for the winter and taste the kitchen garden's produce on the menu before you go.
The house
Explore the large Victorian mansion set within the gardens, the house is unfurnished so offers a great way to appreciate the architecture, fireplaces and ceilings.See our opening times.
Red Library
We have just finished moving our second hand book corner into the Red Library. You can now enjoy the room as it was intended and while away an afternoon with a good book.

I worked at Clear Channel as an intern (less than a year)
ProsWork with radio personalities, great staff and fellow interns, meet artists, concerts, and other events. Casual work environment.
ConsLong standing work hours for major events/concerts, occasionally lots of down time in office, no formal training about how to carry out duties (must learn on the go), sometimes coordinators and other supervisors play favorites.
Advice to ManagementAdviceGive some orientation training for interns (i.e. phone greetings because multiple radio stations' promotions are handled by one offce), keep the favoritism in check, and give more responsibility to those interns who ask and can handle more work to demonstrate abilities for potential hire after internship is completed/ or when they have graduated.
